8 reasons why Social Media fails in organisations Part 3: no understanding of Culture, Communitites and Barriers
August 8, 2011 § 8 Comments
Following on from my previous post on the topic of 8 reasons why Social Media fails in organisations Part 1: No Strategy, Governance or Ownership and 8 reasons why Social Media fails in organisations – Part 2- Business Requirements and Resourcing how to get it right it is now time to visit the last post of this series. No understanding of Culture, Communities and Barriers in organisations, and what can we do about that.
These topics may be last but they certainly are not least.
6/ Fail to understand their culture – so we know that 70% of change initiatives fail ,we also know that if you bring in culture that figure rises to 90%. What that tells me is that we still don't understand much about culture in organisations today. That being said, it seems many organisations are still falling into the trap of using the same old approach that failed with their other projects when they are introducing Social Media. I would like to have a conversation here about helping them try to do it differently.
It seems to me that there are a few things that Leaders in organisations could begin with that could change the dynamic and key to this is to find out what is the culture already in this area. Most organisations have it happening already and so if you find out where it is occurring organically it will help you understand where the opportunities are. Remember it is not about a solution looking for a problem.
Some tips to begin your inquiry include:
- Involving your people in the dialogue before, during & after,
- Research what they are already doing in this space,
- Don't assume based on demographic data that it wont be relevant for them. Check out stats on these infographics about demographics.
Would love to hear some more tips that people have found helpful in this space.
7/ Fail to nurture the communities – Social Media has this title because it is inherently social, both in how it is developed and used. To often they are set up like a project, prescribed process, ticking boxes and allocating tasks they often over structure and smother what could otherwise be a thriving community. There is more than enough anecdotal evidence around today to safely say your Social Media communities flourish best when they are stewarded effectively and treated like a garden. Nancy White has some great experience to share about this environment.
Basically there are some key things that you can do
- Help them understand their needs,
- Help them explore what roles they may need in their community/network,
- Understand the resourcing that is really required and the allowing the time to achieve what is needed
- Help them find a social media solution that really meets their needs,
Let them know that support is there if they need it and then get out of their way. Keep in touch to make sure you have the opportunity to learn from them and share their successes.
8/ Fail to understand the Barriers – It is important that practitioners find ways to assist the leaders in our companies to see ways around the barriers and explore the possibilities of Social Media. A great way to help you achieve that is to educate and involve leaders in the dialogue to help them understand how much of the hype is just myths.
When it comes to barriers to the staff adopting these tools companies today are looking to approaches like Reverse Mentoring to help them. Delloite have a digital mentoring program that is a good example of how it not only reduces the fear of the tools but also creates an opportunity for a reciprocal learning and trust building environment that otherwise may not occur between the staff and or generations.
No matter what your functional role is, leading a collaborative Social/Digital Strategy development for your organisation is a great value proposition. Involving your peers from other functional groups as well as the employees, especially those already doing something in Social Media in the company will maximise the chances of success for both the communities and business.
I am interested in your experiences and ideas on this topic.
8 reasons why Social Media fails in organisations Part 1: No Strategy, Governance or Ownership
July 18, 2011 § 5 Comments
Last week I was in Brisbane Australia having been invited to share insights that we have learnt in the development of our Social Media Field Guide Masterclass. I was invited to present to two different groups of practitioners whilst i was there, one was a group of HR and OD practitioners, the other a group of KM practitioners.
In each group there were a smattering of people who were fairly savvy on social media, the KM crew more so than the HR people.
Where I am starting to see the level of interest and need to know more growing in "how can social media be used within and across organisations to enhance collaboration and networking?" Some are even getting the idea of how to use it effectively to connect and collaborate with customers and suppliers.
One of the biggest hurdles for many organisations is around the HOW? This fear of the unknown freezes many organisations into inaction or even outright banning of these tools. Sadly, many organisations haven't worked out that with the mobility provided by smart phones, banning just ain't gonna work, not to mention the distrust message they are sending to their employees by not even entering into a dialogue on the subject.
So to continue to engage in the dialogue I am doing a series of 3 blog posts covering 7 of the top reasons why social media fails in organisations. These are certainly not exhaustive so I look forward to hearing your experiences and examples along the way.
Fail 1: No strategy
When there is fear in an organisation around social media the default position is either not having a strategy or denying it completely by banning or heavily restricting acces to Social Media. No strategy may in fact be the strategy but best to be explicit about it. As people so often do, they find workarounds to enable them to work the way that makes sense to them. The stats you will find in the slideshare presentation about the Field Guide will give you an insight into just how much people really like communicating and connecting with these tools.
One approach we use to make sense of developing a strategy is to use the POST framework. This structure helps you keep the right priorities and order in the development of your strategy:
- People,
- Objectives,
- Strategy and then
- Tools.
Fail 2: No governance
The lack of understanding or belief in the myths around the governance of Social media creates many problems for organisations. It's a bit Henny Penny really, when email was introduced many believed it had no place in an environment where people were working :s. We know that email can be a real pain, but seriously could you have got by without email as a work tool? Social Media is just the latest version of this evolution.
Companies like the ABC here in Australia are finding that their email usage is reducing with tools like Yammer on the rise. Many organisations fail to understand they already have the governance requirements in place to deal with Social Media. Where organisations have created volumes of what not to do with Social Media they have very low engagement if any at all, and it quickly ends up in failure. The ABC Social Media Policy is a One Page document about what you can do (not what you cant). They recognise they already have all the policies and safeguards in place (we will discuss these a bit more in the Barriers section in an upcoming post), all they need to do is to help their people join the dots. Another great example of communicating the Social Media Policy to help join those dots, is the Department of Justice in Victoria's You Tube video. It's awesome the way they have used the tools themselves to explain the Policy as well as demonstrate the possibilities of the way it can be done.
Fail 3: No ownership
So often the question of who should "own" Social Media in organisations comes up. I believe no one should own something as truly organic as the "socialness" of your people in the organisation. That being said, no matter what your functional role is, the opportunity for people who understand this space is leading a collaborative Social/Digital Strategy development for your organisation. It's a great value proposition for any connected practitioner. By involving your peers from other functional groups as well as the employees, especially those already doing something in Social Media in the company, you will no doubt maximise the chances of success for both the communities and business by modelling what it is you are trying to nurture and learning along the way.
I look forward to discussing more of the reasons why many organisations fail over the coming weeks. Watch out for our upcoming posts to generate conversations around: Business Requirements, Resourcing, Culture, Building communities and Barriers.
Please join us in the discussion we are interested in your experiences and ideas of how to get it right on this topic.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have not done well in the post-lockout era.
Since the 2004-05 season got cancelled due to the lockout, the Leafs have not sniffed the playoffs and have finished no better than third in the Northeast division.
Many blame notorious hothead GM Brian Burke for the team's struggles. They have missed out on big names in free agency and have failed to bring in any big names via trade.
Last year the team finished just below .500 at 35-37-10 and the Leafs' players were once again forced to watch the playoffs from the comfort of their living rooms.
The team had a stellar first half of the season, and seemed to be playoff contenders at the All-Star Break. However, the team collapsed in the second half of the season and finished 12 points out of the final playoff spot.
While last year may be hard to forget, every new year brings the hope for the players and faithful Toronto fans. Could this be the year that the Leafs get their act together and manage to make it to the postseason?
The team has some strengths they can capitalize on, but also have some glaring weaknesses they need to improve if they hope to find success during the 2012-13 season.
Here are some of those strengths and weaknesses.

Review: Cringe Worthy Disease Outing 'Contracted' A Rare Decomposing Find
It is truly a rarity in this day and age of perpetual blood and gore for an avid horror fan to be shocked and disturbed. Such audiences have become so accustom to the brilliant make-up genius of guys like Greg Nicotero, Tom Savini and the late great Stan Winston that there isn't anything left to be deemed as cringe worthy...until now. Not to be watched alongside a healthy meal, the disturbing new flick "Contracted" has the rare distinction of not only being a fascinatingly horrific take on the consequences of a one-night stand, but also features some of the most effective, realistic and utterly cringe worthy decomposing flesh effects that would make even Rob Bottin blush – it's that good.
Samantha is a typical high maintenance young woman with typical problems. She works at a dead end waitressing job, lives with her overbearing mother, has men obsessed with her and she's even exploring her sexuality by dating a girl. But one night when her significant other flakes on meeting her at a party, she finds herself alone and a tad tipsy. She then meets a mysterious guy named BJ and eventually finds herself in his back seat doing the nasty. And nasty it is as the next day she finds herself suddenly plagued with what appears to be a severe STD effects...or are they?
There's obviously some big reveals within "Contracted" and while some have shamefully repeated them in print I find it's best to let this film evolve naturally. (Think "The Crying Game" keeping a secret mode you spoiling bastards!) But nevertheless it's the evolution of Samantha's physical changes, the getting there that gives "Contracted" its true gut punch and it packs one hell of a whollup. From an eye turning unsightly beet red to the arrival of maggots in all the wrong places, Director Eric England (and his ample make-up artist Mayera Abeita) sends true shivers up the spine with effects that give the visual feeling of nails on a chalkboard. (And yes, that's a good thing!) Though the films most interesting choice comes within Samantha herself (played boldly and refreshingly without thought to vanity by actress Najarra Townsend) who at times is portrayed as harsh and even an unlikeable character. Normally that would be a death sentence, but here amidst the harrowing events happening, it creates a fantastic contrast of hating and yet feeling sorry for Samantha that frankly (and surprisingly!) works.
Some have dragged the film down to just being gross, but I say look again. There's true brutal brilliance in the look and feel of "Contracted" that is way too effective to be dismissed as B-movie fare. The film may not be everyone's cup of scab-infested tea, but for those looking to be moved in a genre that is already over-saturated "Contracted" is a rare decomposing find.

Jada Pinkett Smith Posts About Addiction Issues On Facebook
Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about her past struggles with addiction in a new post online. The actress says she has conquered her problems but didn't detail the nature of her addictions.
She wrote on Facebook, "What I learned about myself is this, when I was younger I was not a good problem solver, meaning I had a very difficult time with dealing with my problems in life. I had many addictions, of several kinds, to deal with my life issues, but today, at 42, I have my wisdom, my heart and my conscience as the only tools to overcome life's inevitable obstacles."
Pinkett-Smith, who just turned 42, added, "I have become a good problem solver with those tools, and I am damn proud. Thank you for all the love that was given to me for my birthday this year. What I hope is that we all continue to gain healthy understanding that life is really about, solving problems, and also about us learning to become masters at solving them."
A few days earlier, the actress revealed her stance on divorce after a friend asked for marriage advice.
She posted, "For the past five years, I have been meeting with elders who have been married for 25+ years to get understanding from many perspectives as to what marriage and love is all about. Almost all the couples have said that at some point in their marriage they have stumbled upon inevitably difficult moments that called for a break."
Pinkett-Smith and her husband Will Smith have been battling divorce gossip for years. It's also been rumored that they have an open marriage that allows them to sleep with other people.
In the note to her friend, Pinkett-Smith added, "My hope for you is this, that you consider taking the route that some of our elders have taken in giving your marriage some space and time before the drastic decision of divorce. Answers to big questions need time to find lasting truth vs the truth of the moment. After this process the answer may be the same, but at least you will have the clarity to go about it all with certainty and integrity, but you may also find that spark that could save and rekindle your marriage."

NEW YORK, 17 January 2012 – Young people often report that they are not given the opportunity to participate in processes that affect their lives; or when they are, they often feel their participation is not meaningful enough.
A new case study on youth participatory research supported by UNICEF's Education in Emergencies and Post-Crisis Transition (EEPCT) programme, or Back on Track, looks at the methodology and processes used in 'A Study of Adolescent and Youth Perspectives on Education Quality in the Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) Region' (henceforth referred to as 'Adolescent and Youth Perspectives Research').
Case Study on Youth Participatory Research on Education Quality in CEE/CIS Innovative Practices, Lessons Learned and Recommendations
This case study is part of a series supported by the Back on Track programme in an effort to highlight innovative and substantial programming through hallmark interventions.
This case study helps to strengthen the future use of and rationale for youth participatory designs in UNICEF programming. By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the 'Adolescent and Youth Perspectives Research' methodology and process, and by highlighting best practices and recommendations for future scale up, UNICEF and partners are better positioned to more effectively implement current and future efforts that meaningfully involve youth.
Background on 'Adolescent and Youth Perspectives Research'
Research undertaken by the UNICEF CEE/CIS Regional Office in 2007 and 2009 revealed troubling indicators of deteriorating education quality in the CEE/CIS region, with distinct effects on adolescents and youth.
In response to this, the 'Adolescent and Youth Perspectives Research' was implemented to investigate the impact of fragility on education quality in Chechnya (Russian Federation), Georgia, Kosovo and Tajikistan, and its impact on adolescents and youth; analyse adolescent and youth views in order to identify regional trends concerning the impact of fragility on education quality; and to identify the areas of education quality in most urgent need of attention.
UNICEF conducted a series of nationally representative, participatory studies on youth perspectives on education quality. Youth were at the heart of this work, researching and describing their understanding and experiences of education quality and its drivers. Youth were offered the opportunity and responsibility to "assess youth opinions about education quality based principally on their most recent experiences with formal education systems but also experiences in the more distant past, including before, during and after armed conflict."
Peer-to-peer participation key to meaningful research about youth
UNICEF staff and consultants concluded that the 'Adolescent and Youth Perspectives Research' provided a unique and strong entry point for discussion with their ministries of education. The study was the "first time ever for this kind and level of focused research". It provided a first glimpse at post-primary education needs and their specific differences from primary education. The research filled gaps in existing reliable data, and the information gained was ever more important because it "comes directly from youth" and "is grounded on young people's realities and opinions".
The youth researchers felt strongly that research offers an opportunity to build capacity, engage the marginalized, inspire action and highlight youth capabilities. The involvement of youth throughout the study was a highlight of how the study was designed and implemented.
The youth researchers strongly believed that the young people being interviewed were more likely to discuss their problems with people of the same age and background. This "safe space" allowed young people to speak freely and explore issues important to them.
"The [participatory] process strengthens the capacity and skills of youth so that they can be prepared in their future role as decision makers," explains Matthew Emry, author of the case study on youth participatory research. "It ensures that the issues and solutions identified truly reflect the needs and desires of young people. It builds the confidence of communities that young people can and are eager to participate positively in their society. It is a concrete down payment on our promise to invest in their future."

WASHINGTON — U.S. aircraft flying into a heavily contested region of South Sudan to evacuate U.S. citizens were attacked yesterday and forced to turn back without completing the mission, U.S. officials said. Four service members were wounded, one seriously.
South Sudanese officials said the attack was carried out by rebel forces.
The aborted mission to Bor, the capital of Jonglei state, was the first U.S. military incursion into rebel-held territory in the country. Previous evacuation flights had been organized in Juba, the capital.
President Barack Obama said on Thursday that he had sent 45 U.S. service members to South Sudan to "support the security of U.S. personnel and our embassy."
The Obama administration has not said how many Americans are trapped in Bor, whether they are in imminent danger, or what options Obama is considering to evacuate them.
Some 14,000 civilians are reported to have sought refuge at a U.N. base in Bor. It is surrounded by 2,000 armed youths, spurring fears that the base might be overrun.
Armed youths seized a U.N. base in another town, Akobo, last week, killing at least 13 people, including two U.N. peacekeepers.
Yesterday, the U.S. military sent three CV-22 Ospreys — tilt-rotor aircraft that can fly like an airplane and land like a helicopter — to Bor to evacuate U.S. citizens from the U.N. compound. As the aircraft approached, "They were fired on by small-arms fire by unknown forces," the military said. All three aircraft were damaged.
The mission was aborted and the Ospreys flew about 500 miles to Entebbe, Uganda. The wounded service members were then taken to Nairobi, Kenya. The most seriously injured had surgery last night; three others had minor injuries, U.S. officials said. All were reported in stable condition.
As attacks have racked South Sudan, there has been mounting concern about the safety of 35,000 civilians who have sought sanctuary at U.N. peacekeeping bases there.
"The situation in Bor is very dire," said Catherine Howard, the deputy head of the United Nations' humanitarian-affairs office. "Humanitarians are unable to operate safely. People have been uprooted. There is looting."
Obama met with his top security officials yesterday morning in Hawaii, where he is on vacation. The White House said he was briefed on the wounded troops and on the safety of U.S. citizens in Bor and embassy personnel in Juba.
The White House said Obama "reaffirmed the importance" of working with the United Nations to secure U.S. citizens in Bor, and that South Sudan's leaders had "a responsibility to support our efforts to secure American personnel and citizens in Juba and Bor."
President Salva Kiir has attributed the violence to an attempted coup by former Vice President Riek Machar.

OTB Meets New 'Trollied' Boss, Stephanie Beacham
August 30, 2012 by Jack Sharp
Filed under Features
Here on the set of Trollied, melons and cartons of orange juice have been known to explode. The filming of the second series of Sky1's supermarket sitcom has been taking place for weeks now and perishable food items have began to burst and ferment under the bright studio lights.
This isn't a northern supermarket like fans of show might have expected, but a purpose-built replica on the outskirts of Bristol, the shelves stacked with real – but now completely inedible grub. The products here will be familiar to most people, but Valco – the fictional supermarket from the show – also has its own new budget "No-Nonsense�? range.
"That's what my character is,�? former Dynasty star Stephanie Beacham explains. "She's no-nonsense — just like the new range that she's desperately trying to push.�?
Stephanie is a new addition to the sitcom this series. She plays the new Valco store-manager, Lorraine, who she tentatively reveals is in part based on Dragons' Den millionaire Hilary Devey.
"Not in terms of personality — because Lorraine's an arsehole,�? Stephanie says. "But she looks and sounds a bit like Hilary, who's very much this self-made woman — somebody Lorraine would probably admire a great deal.
"A lot of the women that I've played in the past have been very rich; Lorraine's very much no mascara, hair snagged up with a bit of acrylic hair. It was difficult for my vanity. But then, I suppose, comedy has no vanity.�?
Over the years, Stephanie has earned herself a reputation for being a bit of a diva, recently sending up her media persona in a Snickers advert alongside Joan Collins. Nevertheless, she seems to get on brilliantly with the rest of the cast, although I struggle to imagine her trudging around Morrisons to research her role.
"No, I went to a supermarket beforehand," she says when I mention this. "I tried to listen in on employees' conversations.�?
Nick Blood, who plays Kieran, overhears and interrupts her. "Was it at Harrods' food-hall by any chance?�?
Stephanie rolls her eyes at him and I use the opportunity to ask Nick how it feels to be back filming a second series.
"It was a huge commission,�? he says, "and in this business I've just come to not expect anything, so it was a nice surprise. I think it's 13 episodes and a Christmas special, which is obviously a lot for British comedy.�?
So did Stephanie watch the first series at all?
"I watched it all in one go on DVD,�? she confesses. "It was one of those things where I watched one episode and then found myself watching one more and then another and another. I was enthralled, I suppose, by the dullness of it all.�?
Nick laughs.
"But I was! I just loved the Laurel and Hardy act going on here,�? she tells me, referring to the butchers, Kieran and Andy (played by Mark Addy – The Full Monty, Game of Thrones and loooooads of other stuff).
Stephanie admits that she's had a blast playing Lorraine and describes the character as a hard-nosed bully with a fondness for the male form. In one episode, for instance, she tells Kieran that he contractually obliged to work with his shirt off.
"And that wasn't even in the programme,�? Nick jokes.
So with the recent launch of a new Dallas in the US, would Stephanie be up for a Dynasty reboot, playing her breakthrough role as the ludicrously rich, bitchy Sable Colby again?
"Well, Joan and I have talked about it,�? she says. "We've said, 'Drop us in there; we can play those parts like that.' We'd love to do it again!
"Actually, in many ways, Lorraine isn't a million miles away from my character in Dynasty. She's a hard-nosed bully, very ruthless. If anything she might even be more of a bitch!�?

Real benefits to muscles!!! I even don't know how, because my man is also drinking protein and on the protein are written similar amounts of leucine, isoleucine and valine and sometimes even bigger ones, not to mention other beneficial acids, but effect is very little from the protein itself. So I don't understand this miracle, but I know that my man will be using it again and again.

Francis A. Waller was born on August 15, 1840 in Gurneyville, Ohio. Waller moved to Vernon County, Wisconsin in 1853. After the Confederate firing on Fort Sumter, on April 12, 1861, Abraham Lincoln would issue a proclamation, on April 15, calling for 75,000 state militia, for 90 days, to suppress the rebellion of the southern states. Waller, then 20 years of age, answered Lincoln's call and enlisted as a private, in Company I, of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry. Organized at Camp Randall, Wisconsin, the 6th would be officially mustered into Federal service on July 16, 1861.(i)
Waller, with his 6th Wisconsin would leave for Washington City, and would remain there until July 28, 1861. In June 1862, the regiment would be assigned to US Brigadier General John Gibbon's Fourth Brigade, of Rufus King's First Division in the III Corps of the Army of Virginia. They would see some action at Cedar Mountain on August 9. Gibbon's brigade, then called the "Black Hat" brigade, would be comprised of all western regiments: 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, 7th Wisconsin and the 19th Indiana. On their march, to intercept CS Major General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's Left Wing, thought to be at Centreville, Virginia, the brigade would be surprised by the Confederates at the Battle of Brawner's Farm. The brigade would suffer terribly at this opening battle of Second Manassas, and would earn a reputation for bravery. In September 1862, during the Maryland Campaign, they would be heavily engaged at South Mountain, earning the new nickname – Iron Brigade. On September 17, at the Battle of Antietam, Waller, would participate in some of the hardest fighting at the Corn Field. Again, the Iron Brigade would suffer tremendously. From December 12–15, they would fight at the Battle of Fredericksburg. Continuing to earn a reputation for hard fighting, they would be engaged at the Battle of Chancellorsville, in early May 1863.
CS General Robert E. Lee, determined to take the fight to the north, would invade Pennsylvania in June 1863. The Federal Army of the Potomac, with its new commander, US Major General George G. Meade, pursued Lee. On July 1, he found the Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. On that day, then corporal, Francis Waller would provide his most valuable service to the United States. Fighting would commence early that day, between US Brigadier General John Buford's cavalry division and CS Major General Henry Heth's Confederate infantry division. Buford's dismounted cavalry was able to slow Heth's approach to Gettysburg until US Major General John Reynold's I Corps was able to arrive. The Iron Brigade was part of the I Corps and was one of the first infantry brigades to arrive at the rapidly developing Battle of Gettysburg. While the rest of the brigade (2nd Wisconsin, 7th Wisconsin, 19th Indiana and 24th Michigan) fought at Herbst Woods, on McPherson's Ridge, the 6th Wisconsin was sent north of the Chambersburg Pike to reinforce US Brigadier General Lysander Cutler's brigade. As the battle raged, between 10:30 a.m and 11:15 a.m., the reinforced Confederate line began to push the Federals back, towards the Lutheran Seminary. The portion of Cutler's line, that included the 6th Wisconsin was refused, facing north, near an unfinished railroad cut. This railroad cut proved fateful for CS Brigadier General Joseph R. Davis' brigade, comprised of Mississippians and North Carolinians. Davis would push three regiments of his brigade, into the cut, in an effort to flank the Federal I Corps. Unfortunately the walls of the cut proved to high to allow accurate musket fire, or artillery support. Pushing through the cut, the Confederates became easy targets for the Federal regiments arrayed on the south bank of the cut. The 14th Brooklyn, 95th New York and the 6th Wisconsin opened a withering fire on the soldiers trapped in the cut. Many of the Confederates surrendered, but plenty determined to fight their way out. The fighting devolved to hand-to-hand combat. During the hardest fighting, Waller engaged the color bearer of the 2nd Mississippi Infantry, Corporal William B. Murphy. The two would fight gallantly for the cherished flag. Waller triumphed, killing Murphy and securing the Mississippi colors. For his brave, and selfless actions, Waller would be awarded the Medal of Honor. During the fighting at Gettysburg, the Iron Brigade would suffer 1,212 casualties of the 1,883 soldiers (64%) that arrived at McPherson's Ridge.(ii)
Waller would continue to serve with the 6th Wisconsin, through the remainder of the Civil War. He would fight at Mine Run, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, North Anna, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Five Forks and Appomattox Court House. Waller would receive promotions to 2nd Lieutenant on December 21, 1864 and 1st Lieutenant on March 23, 1865. On December 1, 1864, Waller would be awarded the Medal of Honor. His official citation reads:
"Capture of flag of 2d Mississippi Infantry (C.S.A.). (iii)
After the Civil War, Lieutenant Waller would return to Vernon County, Wisconsin. He would die on April 30, 1911 in Bentford, South Dakota. He is buried at Walnut Mound Cemetery in Retreat, Wisconsin. Francis Waller is a true American HERO.

Grey Towers commemorates dedication
September 11, 2013 —
MILFORD, PA — Free music, free open house, lectures, guest speakers, food and family fun are planned for September 19 to 22, as the U.S. Forest Service commemorates the 50-year anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's dedication of the ancestral home of agency founder Gifford Pinchot at Grey Towers National Historic Site.
Forest Service Chief Thomas Tidwell, one of the guest speakers at the September 21 re-dedication program, will highlight the work of the Forest Service, the Pinchot Institute for Conservation and other partners since the Kennedy dedication. On September 24, 1963, Kennedy launched a national conservation tour at Grey Towers when he dedicated the founding of the Pinchot Institute and opened the doors of Grey Towers to the public.
Today, the Forest Service manages Grey Towers as a public conservation education and leadership center as well as a museum providing mansion and garden tours. The agency works with numerous partners to provide programs that carry forward the Pinchot legacy.

'Exant' Season 1 Episode 3 Recap: Wish You Were Here
It's a moot point but Molly was probably safer on the Seraphim than back home. Think about it, at least she had only one ghost/alien/boyfriend haunting her, now a whole SWAT team is gunning for her like she's wearing a target on her back. In "Extant's" third episode "Wish You Were Here," we get a few more pieces of this cryptic puzzle.
The episode launches with the deputy director tracing Doc Sam's built-in GPS tracker to the vet hospital where she performed Molly's ultrasound. After scrolling past some scans of pre-mature pups, he spots Molly's very human 14-week old fetus. He brings the findings to Director Sparks, who reveals Molly was pregnant before. Only the first time Marcus was the child's father. Unfortunately she lost it in a car accident Marcus was killed in.
I'm guessing not long after the accident, Molly realized how much she wanted a child, hence her hooking up with John and their frequent attempts at fertility treatments with Doc Sam. For some reason I feel like this is a major clue leading to the big picture that involves the past converging with future, or rather the past attempting to repeat itself.
Anyway, Sparks wants to put a muzzle on Molly before she tells anyone else of her delicate condition. So, he's willing to tell her anything to get her in his grasp, except the truth, of course.
Meanwhile, Molly is lying in bed next to John (lucky girl) staring at Ethan's family drawing and thinking back on the couple's last unsuccessful fertility treatment. She shoots down every pie-in-the-sky possibility for conception John throws her way. He's got one last radical approach: a humanoid child robot. John thinks they can teach it the family experience. Molly feels it should be more organic than the "plug and play family" he envisions. You do realize you married an engineer, right Molly?
Before warming to the idea, Molly bursts John's new family bubble by revealing she signed on for the Seraphim shuttle mission. He thinks they can still make it work and Ethan confirms his approval with a stiff hand wave. And thus a son is born.
Back to present day where John and Molly are still spooning until he whips out his daily agenda, which I'm starting to believe is etched into his palm. Hey, it's the future, it's possible. The day's activities include Ethan's first day of school and Molly's missed birthday party, since she was away for her actual b-day.
After calming Ethan's first day of school jitters, John heads out to run party errands leaving Ethan alone with a promise he'll stay indoors. Pretty sure that's not a good idea. Would they have left a human 8-year-old boy home alone? I doubt it.
Molly runs through California's hills faster than her voice automated trainer would condone, but it's totally worth it to watch a space shuttle lift off from a distance. Speaking of unexpected encounters Molly runs into Sparks in front of her house. He spins some cockamamie tale of a covert medical program that reversed her ovulation from samples she took during her fertility trials with them. He assures her that she's pregnant with John's baby and the space agency is to blame for not telling her she was experimented on.

RHOM star Joanna Krupa was enjoying a night out with her fiance but revealing just way to much! Joanna was dining at a Steakhouse in Beverly Hills wearing a sheer top with no bra revealing her breasts for paparazzi to take photos of and for the world to see!
Personally if I was at a restaurant with my family and saw a girl wearing something so inappropriate, I would feel like she was being disgusting, begging for attention, and it's just plain old disrespectful! Keep in the bedroom!
Joanna looks great and her figure is unreal but it just seems very desperate..Do you think Joanna's outfit is inappropriate?

This is AWESOME!
Nice rack. I can tell that you women are all just jealous.
The top might not have been THAT see through in person. It could just be the flash of the cameras!
she could have easily wore a really cute danity bra. some victoria secrect, huh…
She is bangin'!
LMAO Josh!! No doubt she is pretty so she really does not have to wear her taters out 🙂
Isn't this the second time she had a nip slip??? I think I read about it on here? She was in a bikini on the beach & her boobs were out. I think? I'm pretty sure it was her.
She just seems very desperate for attention…on & off the show. She's a drama queen & a shit starter.
OMG why would anyone walk out of their house dressed like that? ATTENTION!! I can't believe people can be so desperate! A lot of these housewives really love themselves a little too much! Doesn't anybody have any class anymore? Why is she a housewife anyway?
And yet again, another reason I am glad I gave up the RHOM.
she is gorgeous, hot body, even nice boobs but she knows damn well what she is doing with that sheer top. every celebrity, especially someone that works in the fashion industry knows very well that a sheer top and flash photography do not mix well. it's just like how the young celebrities don't wear underwear and "accidently" let the cameras take a pic of whats under their short skirts. it's all for attention and a way to get in the news.
She would do anything for fame!
Radar has a story about Joe Francis up on their site. U know the guy that does the "Girl Gone Wild" videos.
Anyway, he says in a clip that's going to air on RHOM next week that he's been with both Joanna and her sister…ick factor for sure.
I was trying to like her, she is gorgeous, but so immature, attention seeking, & insecure. Not sure I like her. & I read some where that she thinks Teresa should leave the show b/c she ruined her family. tsk tsk… no more Krupa for me
I agree Halliesmama. I liked her, at first, but when she was on the beach with Roman and he was telling her he had enough of her drunken behavior, I couldn't get past her pointing out how she has men lining up for her. It just struck me as such a childish thing to say.
Very immature. People who run their mouths without thinking first tend to be that way. Look at her on the show. Drama on wheels.
Desperate to stay relevant I see? She's trash.
I hope there weren't any families with kids out eating.
It says look at me please…….
Or " I slept with Joe Francis!"..
I don't think wearing something like this going to dinner is cool. In fact it's sleazy.
Something like this is more for a magazine spread, or a runway show.
She looks freaking great. If you have it why not flaunt it.
Perfection!!!!! She looks Gorgeous. Get over it people. She's a Model not a Nun. Jeez! Enjoy & admire. Cheers Joanna!!
krupa is trying way to hard to be relevant. She is just another washed up model begging for attention. Im surprised her fiance puts up with her.
Not sexy, not stylish, just sleazy and trashy. She really is screaming for attention.
ohhh man the worlds wisdom if we are having women like heidi commenting like this God help the rest of the women who seem to share her sentiments. She just doesn't get it! Oahu stacey I agree with you
It could be flashbulbs though… Ever heard of the ol' story about wearing white underwear under a black dress? She should have thought of that (maybe she did) and put on a cute bra or a camisole. Then again she doesn't seem like the type to who would care. Just kinda sleezy.
EXACTLY, 'Kjo'!!!! The resturant they went to isn't a Denny's where the lights are bright inside, additionally it is not a 'family' resturant.
It was evening, dark outside & mega flashbulbs & the paps' love this stuff…….. Within the resturant people don't notice & wouldn't have in this case if not for the flash…….
To each their own! She's dressed as appropriately as any other celebrity out here & if one is really that interested, they can find photos of others as well…. This gal' just happens to be a hot commidity right now & paps' are all over her…. To each their own….
Oh yea and heidi if the restraunt turned the lights up for any reason would it then not be appropriate? Since your statement seems to be that the lights were dim and it's kind of dark. Also the photograph taken of her where it's plastered all over the internet , it was night time and on the street so thats is ok to? I'm just curious trying to see what your reasoning is here.
She is dressed appropriately? Now thats funny! I don't recall seeing all the female celebrities with their ta-ta's out in the open..
Thanks michers my question as well.
I'm the odd lady out here but I don't see what the big deal is. It's definitely not appropriate BUT it is Miami. Nobody bats an eye. If she lived in rural Iowa I could see it causing a fuss, but this is what I see when I go out late at night.
OK, maybe like you said 'late at night' as in a nightclub, although I still don't like the look. But she was eating dinner in a steakhouse, a place where anyone including kids and elderly people can go. I don't want to eat my dinner with someone's half-naked boobs staring me in the face and I could only imagine how embarrassed I'd be if I had an elderly relative with me. To each his own, but restaurants have dress codes for a reason, and this restaurant was wrong to not insist she cover up or leave.
Who cares where it is. Maybe a lot of people don't care but there are those out there who would prefer not to see that period! If we want to look at some chicks breasts then thats what the nude magazines are for. Again just because there are area's where it seems acceptable it really isn't which is why we don't have naked people walking around , unless they want to get arrested. Its called indecent exposure. I have a 12 year old son where I would not want my kid , my young boy to be exposed to that. That is what is wrong with it. I am so sick of these women wearing less and less to the point where stuff is hanging out but then want respect at the same time. Sorry when I see something like that words that come to mind are trash, hooker, slut, low life, nasty, grose, disgusting, inappropriate, no self respect, no dignity, harlot, hussy, and should I go on?????
I've been to BOA Steakhouse in L.A., and everyone goes there! Even though she went at night time, there are kids & teenagers who go there, and it's very inappropriate to flash your breasts out like that. Imagine all the couples and men around her. They'll probably end up staring, and trust! Whenever I go there… It is packed! There's a lot of families that go, young people, kids, the elderly, and a bunch of drunk people.
I guess Joanna wants to be treated like a piece of meat, or maybe treated like chicken legs… LOL.
i guess this wasnt making her relevant enough so she had to bash Teresa, SMH!!! so desperate
Why would you show your tits if its not for attention? No one does it here in vegas..i think she does a lot of stuff for attention. Remember when she was protesting the kardashians Dash store in calabasas? I thought she did it more for attention than an actual cause. And she probably called the paparazzi on herself too. I liked joanna but the way she choses her man over her sister isnt right. And clearly she has no idea whats really going on with melissa marco yet tries to defend her, bish take a seat.
So shes showing her titties in public and trashing Teresa Giudice.. ALL to make a name for herself. THIRSTY GIRL! Captain save a ho will be on the run soon.
As far as her comments go about Teresa it seems to me that every housewife who has made bad remarks about her appears to me to be a bit envious of how much she is taking off with her career. She is now 40 and is fabulous!!!
Teresa doesn't have to wear see through shirts or her 5 yr old daughters shorts for attention.
The only thing that redeems Joanna is her support to Peta.
Roxy I completely agree with you except I would go further and ask the restraunt to ask her to cover up or leave! Sorry but it is so beyond inappropriate and there is nothing decent about this woman. If the restraunt didn't have her fix it then I would call law enforcement. Seriously people I don't care if its a night out on the town going to dinner that isn't something I want to see especially my children. Theres a time and place to expose yourself and it certainly isn't in public. What if a man was at a restraunt wearing see through pants on the front side? He would of been arrested and labeled a pervert! So why is it any different for this skank?
I live in L.A. This happens a lot when the celebrities are out on the town because any material that is even slightly sheer will show through with the bright lights and flashes from the stupid paps. Usually people have bras on and it seems in pictures it's a see through shirt like vintage madonna but when you're standing in front of the person you can't see anything.
I too live in LA but I have never seen celebrities dressing like this…like its normal. It is sheer and all you have to do is look to see what she is horribly purposely showing.
I live in LA too and I'm actually shocked. This is so beyond inappropriate. As a SUPER model there's no excuse for her not to know what a CAMERA flash does to sheer material. Has she commented on this?
Someone turn the heat on…she looks awfully cold!
She has a great body! Love her because she hates Teresa!!
she hates every girl, not just Teresa.
She hates the fact that teresa is more famous than her. Why do you think she's walkin around showing everything?
Sad you have to show your bubbies to get noticed.. which I don't understand! Isn't she like a top model? No need for this crap!
Yes, that's a great reason to love someone just because they hate someone you don't like.
i cant believe i was ever a fan of her. That's really pathetic.
She needs attention
I think so! Seems that way last 2 days.
I love there is a site called hotmess!!!!!! Is Jac on it, lol?
I guess she's not a cooker but a hooker! LOL
Good one!
My sentiments, lol
She's beautiful for sure. But c'mon. Who does that? It's definitely attention seeking.
Famewhore, indeed! This is disgusting and she's being very disrespectful to everyone around her and being disrespectful to herself. She's sexy and has a bangin' body, but must she reveal both of her breasts out like that? That's some straight hooker status right there. It's weird that Romain doesn't mind his fiancée dressed like that in public. What if there are young kids outside? Embarrassing. Show some respect and cover those things up! Makes people look down on her even more after the hooker rumors surfaced. Now I don't know what to believe of her… I don't care anymore though. She dissed Tre and the girls numerous times, so I no longer support her.
She thinks Teresa is the one loving fame more than anything? Uhm, yeah, NO! Joanna is loving fame a little too much. That's why she's on Housewives! LOL.
I love her top, btw… Does anyone know where she got it from?
Whores R Us?? just a guess! lol you're her top is cute she just makes look slutly! wear something under it how hard is that???

Decisive anti-Sharia step in Egypt: Constitution committee eliminates all barriers to building churches, stipulates "absolute freedom of belief" for Egyptians - Atlas Shrugs
Here's the thing: Obama is punishing Egypt for moving in this direction. He has suspended aid and continued to threaten Egypt for throwing off the yoke of Islamic tyranny by the Muslim Brotherhood. Progress despite Obama. Decisive anti-Sharia step in Egypt: Constitution committee eliminates all barriers to building churches, stipulates "absolute freedom of belief" for Egyptians (thanks to Robert Spencer) Islamic law forbids Christians to build new churches or repair old ones. This is, therefore, a strong and welcome rejection of Sharia. "UPDATE: Constitution committee eliminates all barriers to building churches in Egypt," from Ahram Online, October 27: Egypt's 50-member committee tasked with amending the suspended 2012 constitution adopted on Sunday a transitional article that will cancel existing restrictions regulating the building of new churches. According to Ahram Arabic news website, the committee also initially adopted an article [47] which stipulates "absolute freedom of belief" for Egyptian citizens and endows the state with the responsibility to ensure free practice of religion. However, under pressure from representatives of Egypt's highest Sunni authority Al-Azhar, which has demanded that freedom of religion be restricted to the three monotheistic beliefs, the committee opted to postpone its vote on article 47 until Monday. Sources at the meeting told Ahram that representatives of the church, who have until now strongly supported complete freedom of religion, sided with Al-Azhar's objection. Christians, who make up 10 to15 percent of Egypt's 85 million, need special presidential permits in order to build or renovate churches in Egypt. Supporters of equal rights for all citizens have long demanded the freedom to build and renovate churches without restraint in order to ensure parity between Egypt's religions. Islamic extremists have attacked tens of churches, destroying many, in the past 15 years....atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2013/10/decisive-anti-sharia-step-in-egypt-constitution-committee-eliminates-all-barriers-to-building-church.html

South Sudan transition and constitution building | Peace Palace Library
South Sudan fought for decades against Khartoum regimes since 18 August, 1955 for many reasons. Chief amongst causes of liberation struggle was to have federal system of governance in place so that the black Africans people in the South exercises their own political leadership and perhaps owned their independent territorial integrity. This objective cause of the first revolutionary movement was acknowledged in the then Addis Ababa Peace Agreement of 1972 signed between Southern Sudan Liberation Movement led by General Joseph Lagu and the Khartoum administration under President Gaffar Numeri. The Southern region was granted self- autonomous regime in what was famously known as High Executive Council with its two pillars of government namely, Executive and the People Regional Assembly seated in Juba. Judiciary was centralized for reasons best known to the partners in the said agreement.www.peacepalacelibrary.nl/2013/10/south-sudan-transition-and-constitution-building/

Testosterone Powerhouse For Size & Strength Gains!
• Dramatic Increase in Testosterone Production
• Inhibits Estrogen
• Perfect as a PCT or Natural Testosterone Booster
• Build Muscle – Increase Strength
We all want to get bigger and stronger. Did you know you can achieve both goals while also getting leaner? That's right and you can do it by naturally increasing your body's levels of testosterone – one of the primary anabolic hormones your body produces. The functions of testosterone are well-known – it's the hormone that has a major role in primary and secondary sexual characteristics as we grow from adolescence to adulthood. It is a highly anabolic hormone that stimulates protein synthesis and helps control fat loss.
Testavate 500 from NutraClipse is a natural testosterone booster that will significantly increase your body's test production. Are you coming off a cycle and need a great PCT? Testavate 500 is your best choice!
Ingredient Breakdown:
Protodioscin is a steroidal saponin compound found primarily in Tribulus - it's actually the active ingredient. It's been demonstrated to increase levels of testosterone by activating the pituitary. It works to increase levels of LH which in turn promotes greater levels of free-testosterone. This ingredient is most effective at a standardized level of 20% protiodioscins.
N-Methyl D Aspartic Acid has been shown to be much more effective than regular D-Aspartic Acid. DAA has made a name for itself as a powerful test booster.
Bulbine Natalensis is a potent herbal extract that originates in South Africa, where it has a history of use as an aphrodisiac. Recent research has shown it can increase test production dramatically.
Longjack is an herbal extract that originates in Indonesia, where only plants that are at least 10 years old are used for medicinal purposes. This potent herb can increase levels of testosterone with consistent use and helps to restore test production to peak levels.
If you're looking for the ultimate in mass and strength, increasing testosterone production is the key. Testavate 500 is the most potent testosterone increaser on the market!
