Gulfstream Elite Cabin Concept in G550: The BJT Report
The Gulfstream Elite interior concept debuted in 2011 in the G650 and found its second application in the G450. To date, Gulfstream has delivered some 30 Elite cabins. Now this cabin is coming to the G550 and the manufacturer invited Business Jet Traveler and journalists from several other publications to experience it on a recent flight in N550GA (a G550 demonstrator model).
"Integrated" barely describes Elite, which incorporates virtually every aspect of the passengers' experience inside the popular large business jet, now celebrating 10 years in service.
Gulfstream does all its interiors in-house, Tray Crow, Gulfstream director of interior design, explained. Obviously, this is a profitable area for the company, but it also gives Gulfstream better control of what goes in the cabin. "When something breaks, the customer says, 'My Gulfstream is broken,' regardless [of] the problem. We want to be able to fix it as soon as we can, so we want to have control of everything that's in the aircraft."
In-flight entertainment and cabin management systems are notoriously problem-prone. Elite includes Gulfstream's cabin management system, which provides digital control of the high-definition entertainment, lighting (LED throughout), temperature and window shades, all via an iPod Touch. Passengers can also use their own iPhones by downloading the free app.
Each seat is provided with an iPod Touch, hidden in a sidewall compartment and complete with charging station. By selecting seat position, any iPod or iPhone can be used to control the above functions anywhere in the cabin. A master control panel, which includes digital circuit breakers, is located on the wall in the galley, for control by the flight attendant. The system is designed so that no single point of failure results in total loss of functionality.
The entertainment system includes two dual DVD players, two cabin LCD monitors and a stereo speaker system (which can be very loud, as this writer inadvertently found out).
The forward galley in N550GA features a microwave, dual coffee makers (including espresso) and water sterilization system. Several components are stacked in "a stainless steel stack to save space and weight, make it look good and it's more efficient," said Andrew Fulford, design operations manager for Gulfstream's Industrial Design Department. Fulford came to Gulfstream from the automotive industry.
He pointed out numerous details of the design that are not readily apparent through casual observation. The reading lights, gaspers and oxygen boxes on the ceiling above the seats are placed in such a way that they are less obvious. "When you look down the ceiling of a normal cabin, these give a rather spotty look. But when you look in the Elite cabin ceiling, it's clean," said Fulford.
Gulfstream has also added features to the seats. "We offer a seat that has more functionality than our regular seat to offer than lumbar, heated seat massage, powered back rest and leg rest," said Fulford. "We've also developed a new divan which is a lot lower to the ground and the back angle is more reclined. So now it's more like the sofa at home."
He said Elite uses a modular approach, so that the customer has several options. For example, the galley can be moved to the rear of the aircraft or the divan to the front.
What a rather disappointing slide show.
You could only locate 4 pictures of the "Elite" interior?
(iPod, the outside of the G550, the wine glasses and a flight attendant)
So really only 3 pictures of anything on the inside of the plane?

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Nicely organised, well marshalled.In full: Windy, damp, and a fairly lumpy course for a coastal race. Mix of seafront and housing estates with a short section of offroad. Very well organised with plenty of friendly marshalling, frequent water stations and a small but perfectly formed goody bag without the usual selection of leaflets for recycling. Provisional results up on the website the same day, which I think is also excellent for a non chip timed race. Thanks to the organisers and marshalls.Date of review: March 5, 2012
In short: Low key and enjoyableIn full: Fast flat course if the wind stays off. 3 water stations (one of which you pass twice) so no big gaps between water. Also water available at the finish. The pedestrians/cars/mountain bikes mix at the end was a bit of a pain, but if you have enough left to sprint the home straight you haven't raced hard enough, right?Marshalling was friendly, and occasionally very encouraging. With a rural route such as this I don't expect a lot of support from spectators.Low key rather than cheap would be my description. Many thanks to Martin and his team. I'll be back next year.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Slick organisation and a fast course made for a very enjoyable race. Will be back next year.Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Good start to the year!In full: After being delayed for a week due to snow and ice, this race was held on 2nd Feb. A small field due to the postponement meant the narrow footpaths alongside the A20 weren't too much of a problem. Fairly uninspiring route, with a few undulations to keep it honest. Organisation, as I always find from Velocity Events, was spot on. No frills, but everything required to make it an enjoyable experience. Date of review: January 8, 2011
In short: Tough course, well organised enjoyable raceDate of review: April 18, 2010

Murray Torgeson
Murray E. Torgeson, 91, formerly of Ambrose and Crosby, most recently of Minot, passed away Monday, April 8, 2013, at a nursing home in Williston, surrounded by his family.
Funeral services will be 2 p.m., Friday, April 12, 2013, at Ambrose Lutheran Church in Ambrose, with Pastor Ron Dahle officiating. Burial with military honors will follow at Ambrose Cemetery provided by William Pery Makee American Legion Post #75. Visitation will be from 3 to 7 p.m., today, April 11, at Stakston-Martin Funeral Home in Crosby and also Friday, one hour before the service, at the church. Honorary bearers will be the staff and residents of The View in Minot.
Murray was born in Grand Forks on March 17, 1922, to Alfred and Vanness (Cheney) Torgeson. He was educated at Colgan and Ambrose schools and attended one year at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks.
Murray worked a year at the Duluth, Minn., shipyard before being inducted into the Army in March 1943. Murray served his country through November 1945, as a paratrooper in World War II throughout Europe.
Murray married Eunice Christianson in May 1947. They raised their family and farmed in the Ambrose area. In 1988, they moved to Crosby. Murray and Eunice spent several winters in Mesa, Ariz.
Eunice passed away in June 2000. Murray continued to live in Crosby and spent a few winters in Mesa. In September 2008, Murray moved to The View in Minot. He thoroughly enjoyed his new home and friends at The View.
Murray enjoyed watching any NBA or NFL game, working and playing on his computer and Facetime. He thought everyone should have an iPad, and was quite computer savvy for his age. He valued the time spent with his family he will be greatly missed.
He was a member of the Ambrose Lutheran Church, American Legion, Crosby Moose and Ambrose Township and elevator boards.
Murray is survived by: one son and four daughters: Keith (Anne) Torgeson, of Ambrose, Jean (Gary) Fagerland, of Everett, Wash., Debra Boldt, of Williston, Kathy (Joe) Radenic, of Ambrose and Maribeth (Bruce) Bergstrom, of Ray; brother, Sander Torgeson, of Santa Rosa, Calif.; grandchildren, Chad (Ania) Fagerland, Justin (Monika) Fagerland, Heather Morse, Bob Peterson, Shawn Peterson, Zachariah Boldt, Kylie Boldt, Casey Jo Radenic, Sonny Radenic, Austin Bergstrom and Keaton Murray Bergstrom; five great-grandchildren; and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Eunice; an infant daughter; and brothers, Elbert Robinson and Howard Torgeson.
Stakston-Martin Funeral Home of Crosby is in charge of arrangements.

Wait! We Weren't Finished With Dark Holiday Beers Yet
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- A nice dark, potent winter ale, holiday ale, porter or stout sure would have been nice during that cold snap the country just had.
Too bad many of its bigger breweries already think it's spring.
It's easy to harp on seasonal creep when pumpkin ales show up before Labor Day and holiday beer hits shelves as soon as the kids go back to school. In those instances, however, they're at least building anticipation for something specific. Pumpkin ales signal the arrival of fall and the change in the weather. Holiday beers are just keeping up with shoppers who start checking off their lists earlier each year.
But when rich, warm, wintry beers are replaced in some of the coldest months of the calendar by light, bitter pales ales and IPAs (thanks Deschutes), witbier and summery kolsch (seriously, Samuel Adams?) or Hefeweizen and honey bock (solid, Pyramid), the dark, gray days get more depressing. When a winter beer like Deschutes Jubelale is long gone from shelves by Jan. 6, the system is broken.
At least for the consumer. For the bigger craft brewers, this is working out just fine. Around this time of year, the words of warning that Boston Beer Company
"The basic reason -- and it's not that we can't get enough of the ginger or cinnamon or anything -- is that freshness is a big deal for us and this is a beer that has a season," Koch said. "Beer at its foundation is a performance art that exists in the moment of its creation and that's it, and Fezziwig is very much in that situation of being perfect for a certain time."
Oddly, that moment of perfection lines up with what's typically one of the softest spots of the beer sales calendar. According to the Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, beer sales start sliding in November and typically don't perk up again until about March, when St. Patrick's Day gives them a brief boost. Even then, it's just an aberration before the summer peak season starts in May.

German-Bohemians learn about Germany tour
NEW ULM – German-Bohemian Heritage Society members learned about a pioneer priest who served as a Dakota Indian missionary and about a 14-day, guided June trip to Germany and the Czech Republic Saturday.
Members watched a video made in September at Hermann Heights Park of Ken Ziegler, historian at Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Mankato, who described the travels of Fr. Valentine Sommereisen.
Ziegler said Sommereisen went all the way to Germany about 150 years ago to borrow money from his brother to build the Mankato church only to be jailed in Germany due to the Franco-Prussian War. The church was originally built with bricks made of Minnesota River bank mud, according to Ziegler.
He added that Sommereisen rode a horse-drawn buggy across South Dakota, considered a hostile place to travel at the time, without a gun.
Ziegler said Sommereisen wasn't afraid of the Indians because they knew who he was and referred to him as "The Santee Godfather," after he baptized 38 Dakota before they were hung in Mankato in late 1862.
Sommereisen asked for and was granted permission to retire early from the priesthood. He began farming, tending a vineyard and apple orchard in Kansas, despite being told being told his fruit wouldn't flourish there.
Ziegler said Sommereisen was credited with the idea of creating what looked like a canon by putting together two stovepipe sections on a wagon and making a small fire, during the Dakota attacks on New Ulm in August, 1862.
"It looked like a cannon from a distance, which some historians say – although there is no way to be sure – that it was convincing enough to prevent the Dakota from attacking New Ulm a third time," Ziegler said.
Years later, a number of Mankato parishioners followed Sommereisen all the way to Kansas.
Ziegler said history buffs interested in studying obituary details at the Mankato church library can visit by appointment. He said there is usually someone in the church library from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Tour leader Wade Olsen of Eagan, who led a German – Bohemian tour last October, said he'll lead a 14-day June tour that arrives in Munich, with escorted tours of Ulm, Regensburg, Marianske Lazny and Prague in the Czech Republic. Ancestral villages in Bavaria and the Czech Republic will be visited.
"Some people couldn't make the trip last fall because they were busy farming, so we're going again," Olsen said. "We'll visit some old churches, learn history and meet with some mayors of small towns. We'll have a translator if they don't speak English.
Partial tour payments are due Feb. 21, 2013. Final balance is due May 15, 2013. E-mail email@example.com

A video that's so heartbreakingly gorgeous and unswerving in its emotional sway, it'll have you pondering your own station in life.
We live in a world that is recreating itself one life and one digital connection at a time. On this landscape for which there are no maps, Seth Godin is a singular thought leader and innovator in what he describes as our post-industrial "connection economy." Rather than merely tolerate change, he says, we are all called now to rise to it. We are invited and stretched in whatever we do to be artists — to create in ways that matter to other people.

Thanks for taking the time to really understand the person you are speaking to and the significance of their 'art' so that we can be inspired to do ours.

So... this is what I'm saving up to listen on the train home tonight in snowy UK -- thanks! This is my collection of favourite Seth posts links...
I loved, loved, loved this
I loved, loved, loved this broadcast. I highly recommend listening to both the edited and unedited versions. I've been exploring both the spiritual and digital "tribes" online and have been influenced by both in writing my memoir. Now two of my very favorites from previously distinct worlds are talking to each other, "tenderly," as Seth said. What a way to jump start my day and my revision process! Thank you.
The life work of both Krista
The life work of both Krista and Seth remind us that true insight leading to deeper understanding and creativity cannot be reduced to sound bites. Thank you for holding your ground.

Thank you Krista and Seth for this interview and discussion. I found it encouraging and enlightening. Gives me hope to continue my work with value particularly when I've felt overwhelmed at times like a small fish in a big pond.
Thoughtful and profound work
Thoughtful and profound work in today's saturated world of noise is to be sought, treasured and shared without hesitation. Kristen and Seth are true pillars that inspire us to stretch our comfort zones. To hear them together was incredible and a privilege. Thank you both and continued good health to continue.
So appreciative of the On

I listened to the edited interview with Seth Godin, then immediately listened to the unedited version. Then started taking notes, then started flowing with ideas faster than I could write. I think my world view has shifted. Thank you both!
Great context Seth. What does
Great context Seth. What does it mean for capitalism?
Isn't the whole labor model shot?
Doesn't this affect every standard economic model, all of which are labor based?
His statements about the past
His statements about the past are full of catchphrases -- but his statements are based on his own rage to make everyone else see the world through his glasses. He has coopted the demeanor and jargon of a forceful Business-school professor with a bunch of catchphrases -- except with a psychotically angry edge to his voice. Ok, he made a lot of money. He is playing the role of genius to assuage some problem in his personality, and he made a lot of money. Krista Tippett your shows are always so thoughtful; why are you even bothering with this self-help smackdown guy?
Dear Confused,
Dear Confused,
I respect your view, but here is another perspective...
Seth believes as I do that most of commerce today is focused on getting people to buy more stuff that they don't really need. Rather than building things that really matter but don't promise a huge payday, most creators create stuff that panders to the masses, to the trending idea, to sex, status, ego, etc. They make promises that they can't keep (e.g. you'll be more popular; you'll be better looking; this will solve all your problems).
Seth believes as I do, that instead of playing this industrial game where you maximize profits, minimize cost and deliver the lowest possible value to the lowest common denominator audience, you be true to yourself and you produce something that "matters". Create something that your audience really needs/wants, that ranks high on the "weighing scale" but not necessarily on the "ratings scale". If we all did this, and if we used the Internet for more of these worthwhile ventures, then the world would be a better place, and above all, a more equitable place because people wouldn't be trying to sap one another of their hard-earned money for junk that they don't need.
For me personally, I am trying hard to summon the courage to break out of my current groove and do something that really matters. I have the utmost confidence that when I do, I and the people around me (family, friends, and my audience) will all better off for it. Yes, even happier.
Brilliant...intuitively true.

The idea that today's
The idea that today's population are simply masses afraid of the uncertainty of the future given the change from an industrial economy to a technology economy has no basis in fact and is, frankly, insulting. There is no doubt that the freedom for such things as creativity and art has expanded as has the ability to reach inside all cultures. This is a good thing. That is not to what Krista seems to be guiding us in this 'fear of change' dialog.
People across the Western world are fearful because of the loss of democracy and the turn of free and democratic institutions into autocratic and criminal ones. We watch as tens of trillions of dollars in public wealth is moved from the lower/middle classes to the top all by corporate fraud with a complete suspension of Rule of Law in Western nations. Security is the growth industry as jobs in national security, Homeland security, building security, the military and police are the predominate job markets now. This is not a good thing, it is bad. We watch as diversified and competitive markets are drying and fixed by the ownership of all business activity in America by a handful of mega-corporations. This is not evolution and it is not something to relax and accept.....it is something for which to be fearful and to revolt.
Even as I acknowledge the benefits of internet as regards culture and creativity the predominate issue for all people is the Big Brother nature of the web and the fact that all of it is owned by people who can now simply legislate the ability to have it all shut down.....remember, all of our public modes of communication are being dismantled so communication that is centralized like this is easily cut off as we saw with the uprisings last Spring. The US quickly passed laws allowing this complete shutdown as it made domestic detention for 'terrorism' legal as well.
This is of course not evolution it is devolution. We are seeing a wealth inequity equal to the Renaissance and the same social structuring taking place.....goodbye Enlightment these leaders say as democracy disappears and poverty increases all by way of massive criminal activity. These are the morals, ethics, and values the people see today and are never spoken of on Krista's program as she works to obscure the seriousness of the times!!
Kudos Cindy. You're the only
Kudos Cindy. You're the only one so far who isn't blind to the concentration of power the new technologies are making possible. The cheerleading by libertarian and artistic types for the supposed freedom technology, especially the internet, makes possible is incredibly naive.
Cindy, you are so right. As
Cindy, you are so right. As I listen and watch the news I recall someone saying that by giving up your freedom in favour of security, in the end, you have neither.
Unbelievable that so many cannot see the road ahead that destroys the democracy and freedom that we think we have by the powerful and corruptible.
This program finally taught
This program finally taught me what "tribalism" means. Godin used the example of the group or tribe at a hypothetical reading by Mark Twain....imagine a reing by Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Wayne LaPierre and th tribe it would attract, on one hand, and a reading by Tina Fey, John Stewart, and Garrison Keillor on the other. This country is one tribal place, isn't it, and I wish programs like this one the greatest luck in getting the light to the dark corners where it's needed.
loved the talk. who i am is
loved the talk. who i am is best said at jimsurkamp.com
we are talking about individuation and finding micro tribes but that is opposite negotiation with those who are not like us. that is where politics - even in its old current form - has to do. in democracy those who disagree intensely almost violently - have to come face to face. egypt social media awakening showed that the social media side thought politics was street mobs but they lacked any knowledge or appreciation of the tough slog called governance and advocacy. it's detailed, hard, and thankless.
What do you mean The Beverly
What do you mean The Beverly Hillbillies had less influence than Star Trek? Have you noticed our politicians lately?
Isn't true that what matters
Isn't true that what matters to us, architects, lawyers, doctors and banker follow Seth's format.
Thank you for such an
Thank you for such an inspiring, soulful, intelligent, wonderful program! It is a treasure!
Christa, I always enjoy and
Christa, I always enjoy and am enlightened by On Being. Congratulations to you and all involved in producing and participating in the programs.
Regarding today's topic, I would like to note that there is relevant wisdom in Dorothy Sayer's 1941 book, The Mind of the Maker (see: ). In it she explicates the Christian trinity by illuminating the relationship of creator, work, and meaning and characterizing the nature of man, "created in the image of God" as being reflected in artistic imagination. As she argues, this triune nature is found not only in the acts of artists, but also in those of inventors, engineers, craftsmen, and--may I add, too--teachers, students, and parents.
BTW, I propose that a secular trinity derived from Sayer's insights may well provide a more viable paradigm for modern scientific thinking than the failed materialist/reductionist paradigm dominating orthodox science. [I prefer to think of this secular, paradigmatic trinity in terms of Idea, Image, and Import, rather than in Sayer's terms--I like alliteration, too.]. This secular trinity provides the basis of a conceptual framework for a worldview which better accommodates the accumulating scientific and spiritual thought and evidence for Mind/Consciousness and Meaning/Spirit/Effect, most of which orthodox science, ignores, dismisses, denies, rejects.

I thank you for writing this.
I thank you for writing this. It is great to know that there are some remnants amongst us. Men have relied on scientific thinking and forgot God and all His works. Keep it up friend. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Keep in touch. Washington.
Mr. Godin's ideas put form to
Mr. Godin's ideas put form to my long-felt belief that a business doesn't need to define success by adding employees or making a steep profit margin or building aggressively. I run a small business because I like to practice landscape architecture. I like to meet people and help them live their lives more fully and abundantly. I don't run a small business to make a million dollars, or to grow indefinitely. I founded my company because I was unemployed in the Great Recession of 2008. Since that time, I've ended up providing work and connections for other professionals who found themselves in transition. I feel very strongly that this is a main mission of my company, along with providing a creative outlet for myself, earning a little money, and supporting the design and construction of human environments that help people enjoy their lives. Thanks for this great interview - I've found out that I'm part of a tribe that believes in a more complex business model. What fun!
Elise, you put this
Elise, you put this excellently and I very much identify with the "complex" business model you alluded to.
I just joined this community/app with a lot of people who think think like this. It'd be great to hear your voice if you're open to it.

I love Seth's ideas - this is just NO for now then learn from it. That this evolutionary change is happening from the ground up. We are all artists and we have to brave enough to create and present our creations to our community and value our own artistry. Another winner Krista. I feel like you are one of my BFF s!

Krista, you managed with your special way of approaching people and issues to get Seth to talk about his work in a much more interesting and profound way I have ever heard before. I really learnt much more from him after listening to your interviews than I have from listening to many of his presentations online!
Thanks Seth for taking this journey with Krista.
Listening to this interview
Listening to this interview this Sunday made my day. My husband who was sitting next me said "you've found your professional soul mate!"
Seth's apologia for the
Seth's apologia for the newest incarnation of "creative destruction" is monstrous: celebratory of the centralization of power, deeply insulting to and dismissive of the 99+% who are not, and cannot possibly be, part of the top-level creative class that is benefiting from the new economic order, and incredibly ignorant of what makes for human flourishing (for all, not just the powerful and their pet geniuses). Go meet some poor people--better yet, some stupid or deeply damaged people--and try to sell your bucket of swill to them. You'll see it for the Machiavellian BS that it is.
Thank you. Checking it now.
Thank you. Checking it now.
Thomas Moore writes in "Care
Thomas Moore writes in "Care of the Soul":
"Narcissus lays his head on the grass by the pool, and then he quietly disappears into the underworld, where he continues to gaze at the image in the waters of the river Styx. Our images, especially those that appear in life and play important roles in episodes of transformation, stay with us forever. Once we have entertained an image, it is always potentially present to our gaze. You visit the Uffizi Gallery and see Botticelli's "Primavera," and then for a lifetime you dream of it or you talk about it frequently as a measure of beauty. Unexpectedly it presents itself in a moment of thought or in a discussion, reminding you of its eternal presence. This fragment of the myth suggests that we might continually make soul out of our narcissism by preserving and tending to the images that have come to us throughout our lives. This is the basis of art therapy or journal-keeping: making a home for certain images that have been transforming. Certain photographs or old letters might be related to the pool of water. Culturally, of course, we are constantly invited into the depths of ourselves by the plays, paintings, sculptures, and buildings of past centuries. Art can be a cure for narcissism. The words "curator" and "cure" are essentially the same. By being the curator of our images, we care for our souls."
I post pictures of beautiful pools on the cover of my facebook page to remind me of this quote. After hearing this interview, I'm holding it in my heart right next to this quote and basking in the radiance. It's a keeper!
I never knew I could fall in
I never knew I could fall in love with a conversation. Inspirational and empowering, I am grateful that it is digitally preserved. Thank you!!!

Seth Godin, such a weirdo! I love you Seth, for being just who you are - straight, no chaser! :) I have been a silent follower of yours for a few years. I quote you frequently. i was introduced to you through George Siemens "Connectivism'. Each time I listen to you or read something that you wrote I learn so much. You always leave me with something to think about and apply to my life and my work. Thank you for being free enough to share!
Wonderful. WONDERFUL!

so wonderful, excellent
so wonderful, excellent listen, so enriching. one part i especially appreciated was the "can't please everyone", how Seth admitted to being "victum" to negative reveiw - that one out of 100 we fall into darkness over. jeez, but to stay vulnerable and to not pay attention to such critism. thank you Krista!
very good opinion very much
very good opinion very much liked this set up and discussion i can now understand very well
This was my first exposure to
This was my first exposure to Seth and his philosophy. We share many beliefs. My organization has for 20 years attempted to build our community back from a rust belt powehouse of the 50's, through the crumbling industrial economy, to a renaissance ignitied by a rediscovery of the arts. The goal is a culturally vibrant community with a populace formed of peaceful, productive tribes that contribute their own form of art toward a better community. Thankyou for your leadership, Seth, and thank you Krista,
for this interview.

Had planned to share this
Had planned to share this with some of my tribe even before Krista asked us to:). Thank you both.
I have a confession. I did not completely finish reading The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly?. During the entire process of reading your book up to page 210, I realize that You wanted me to be brave and go create My art now. There was a sense of urgency. I have a feeling that is alright with you because I wanted to start on and in my art too. Reading your book along with others have helped me give me permission to create change. So I am doing just that. I am taking baby steps. The first step I have taken is to leave the town I have grew up for nearly 20 years to find my art and do my art. I am always noticing but afraid to give voice to what I see. Today, I am beginning the long, hard journey of self-actualizing creation. Here is an example of my art: . I started it over a year ago and neglected it because my grassroots campaigned failed, but now I am ready to enhance it and make it into art. Seth, I am brave, but am I scared, but I am brave. The times demand my bravery and I will begin by starting now.
I loved this talk. The Art of
I loved this talk. The Art of Noticing is in "my own language." The idea that we all have gifts to give, and that we are essentially all artists is just the concept, which offers potential for us to help the world become a better place.
This talk inspired me.
Thank you!
I could not pass up this
I could not pass up this interview with Seth Godin. I'm a big fan of his.
I wrote down eight key points of this interview that struck a chord within me, but I will discuss just a couple of them.
The first was when Seth said,
"And so the challenge of our future is to say, are we going to connect and amplify positive tribes that want to make things better for all of us? Or are we going to degrade to warring tribes that are willing to bring other groups down just so they can get ahead?"
This really made me rethink how I go about purchasing products, actually. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the simple purchase, but really with every purchase, I'm supporting an idea. I want to support the positive tribes and not the bully tribes.
The second point was when Seth said,
"You will never have better ratings than the Jersey Shore. But that's not what the purpose is. It's not what the point is. It's not why we do our work. What works is does it matter? And is it possible to make a living doing something that matters? And the answer is, yes. Is it possible to make the maximum amount of money? Probably not. But that's playing by a different set of rules."
This was very important to me because sometimes I think too much about fame. Getting an idea that everyone likes. Being a person everyone likes. Winning an award or being the best at something. Seth says it's not about the ratings. I think that kind of thought process will really just drag me down in the end and smother my true potential. There is something I can offer that's bigger than ratings. Something that impacts individuals, which spreads little by little to other individuals. Something that matters.
Jeremy Peterson, I hope you
Jeremy Peterson, I hope you will get this. In reference to your point about building "something that impacts individuals, which spreads little by little to other individuals...". There is another interview with Krista and Rachel Naomi Remen that you should hear (). Remen is a doctor and a "storyteller". The whole interview is fascinating and gentle and inspiring, but there is one part of it, around timing 5:09, where Remen talks about the "birthday of the world" and how an accident occurred, and the whole of human existence is to clean up this accident and heal those around us -- one heart at a time. It's not about making a huge ratings win (like Jersey Shore or Jay-Z) but about healing those around you, one person at a time.
"Something genuine that
"Something genuine that connects, instead of something fake that entertains."
He nailed it. I listened to this interview three times in the Czech Republic as I was there on tour with a one-man show about WW II. Godin's description of the community that grew around Twain's tours is exactly what was happening on the tour.
Inspiring! More Spock, less Jed Clampett.

Great conversation! I need
Great conversation! I need to listen to it again, but wanted to comment on one item that stuck with me. Krista asked a really good question, "how do you advise people to be discerning - how to be wise"? Seth responded that the only way to get that discernment is to "practice", which is really great advice. But would like to share another really good, well thought out answer - from Andy Stanley, whom I admire greatly - here is a link to a web page that includes both video and audio:
Gosh, after all the things I
Gosh, after all the things I may have screwed up as a mother, maybe I did OK. I raised two free-range children.
I love the definition of
I love the definition of "mindfulness" from Ellen Langer at Harvard. It's the "art of noticing new things." How many of us are intentional about this? I know I'm not. Yeah, I take too many things for granted, including those closest to me.
But, I'm endeavoring to do that in a way that's challenging my focus. It's causing me to pause.

I have never heard of Seth
I have never heard of Seth Godin.... and W.O.W. did I ever n.e.e.d. to hear this and learn about him and who he is and what he is about! Listening to him [and Krista's incredible questions-as always]is building totally n.e.w. neural pathways in my brain that will ease my transition "out of" my "programed" up-bringing and greatly help me move forward not only in my life but in the world as well.
Great show! I was left with
Great show! I was left with this odd feeling that Seth had somehow sneaked into one of our business plan meetings. It was never a strategy for "getting customers." We are new and unique for our industry and initially only heard very negative comments from veterans of the field. We literally had people laugh in our faces. We believe in our product and methods. We didn't just want the sale, we want people to have fantastic experiences. We are honestly having the time of our lives living the dream and making friends along the way. Very inspiring to know that we are on the right track.
I loved this quote: We are
I loved this quote: We are discovering that most people who are making an impact are doing so despite what they learned in school, not BECAUSE of what they learned in school. This is why I'm driven to do things differently as a teacher.
When you were talking about
When you were talking about working together it reminded me of class exercises at Western Carolina University for the Hospitality & Tourism program. When we did presentations or dreamed up restaurants we had to do it as a group.
I thought it was funny that all of these young college students wanted me as part of their group because I was working in a restaurant! So I had real world insight! The goal was learning to work as teams because you are working more as teams than alone in the real world!
I sat outside the Portland
I sat outside the Portland IKEA last night, taking in every last word. The beautiful dialogue that occurred between Krista's inquiry and Seth's insights was truly enlightening. So much so that I burst through the DO NOT ENTER doors at (literally) the 11th hour.
I've been a fan since I first heard On Being.
I've been an "applier of Wisdoms" since opening Seth's first real business books.
And I thought The Domino Project was an exceptional exploration in rapid content development.
But this?
This is both Krista and Seth at their best.
Bravo for continuing to raise the bar of insight, enlightenment and quality dialogue.
Seth shouldn't be upset about
Seth shouldn't be upset about the lady saying that these people can't make art. Because the place to learn to make beautiful, functional art is at Haywood Community College a technical college with a production crafts program that shows artists how to make a living selling fine crafts!

Joy & Gratitude,
The other night I was driving
The other night I was driving to a gig. I turned on the radio and caught this interview. However, upon arriving I was half way in and made a point to catch the programs name and Seth's name before turning the radio off as I wanted to look it up on line to listen to the rest of it. Five hours later I get in my car to drive home and turn on the radio and the station is rebroadcasting the program. I happened to turn it on a minute before I had turned it off before. I was thrilled and yet immediately felt that I was "supposed" to listen to this show. It was very inspiring, so much so that I listened to the unedited version the next night when I went for a run. Seth was able to eloquently verbalize what I have been thinking. I have sense passed this along. Make a ripple. If everyone is going in one direction turn around and go in the opposite direction. Bravo. I will follow Seth and listen to your program.
Your interviews are great!!
Your interviews are great!!
This unedited interview
This unedited interview actually brought tears to my eyes. Very moving and inspiring (did I really expect anything less from Seth Godin?). This makes me want to risk failing bigger, more often, and more publicly.
Krista and Seth, thank you for the gift. Thank you for your art and contribution!
Godin at one point was
Godin at one point was talking about how when we were younger and in school we were taught to brainstorm ideas and work as a group to think of ways to resolve the issues. He says that as we get older we start to fear these activities because we are scared to be wrong. I think a lot of this can be due to the pressures that we are under as we grow up to always have the correct answer without stumbling around at first. As kids, there is no pressure because you are learning and people will just think they don't know any better, at least they are trying.
Also he had mentioned how in highschool kids get docked points if they work together on an assignment. I feel he was a little misinformed or not entirely sure what he was talking about. I think he didn't really understand that the kids were probably cheating and just sharing answers instead of working through a problem together. When I was in highschool I really enjoyed working in groups because it gave me an outlet to throw ideas and make sure that it made sense to other people. Also a big bonus of working with others is that you get different viewpoints and can open your mind to different possibilities through others ideas.
Godin believes that in this
Godin believes that in this 'post-geography' world, with our connection economy, technology is empowering the 'bottom-up' change where society evolves culturally on its own without a central leader forcing ideas and change and that the change itself is empowering technology. They feed off of each other. As a result of this change, Godin believes that every single person is an artist. Instead of like in the industrial era when one person had the creativity and designed something and told others what to do, now one person can have the creativity and ideas and create a product all on their own to send out to the world. Now success doesn't come to drones who only do what they're told: now to be successful, you have to make your own path and have faith that it will work.
At first I thought that this was a rather odd opinion to have, since many ideas and products depend on people following orders and providing the support work. Self-starters who create their own businesses around their own creations can have success with hard work and faith, but they too need people to help eventually. But the more that I thought about it, the more it made sense. Even now people in 'drone' jobs are being empowered to come up with new ideas, new ways of doing things, and acting on them. Employers often ask their employees for new practices that might save time and money, or recommend new pitches that might get clients. From the top levels down to the bottom, companies are encouraging individual creativity, and new products are released every day because of it.
This interview was the real
This interview was the real gift for me in 2014. After a number of years of disappointing failures, to be reminded that someone I view as successful has had his share of failures, was a gem. Seth's perspective on failure buoyed my spirits. My favorite part: that no longer is success created or defined by one person directing 50 others to design something; rather, that one person working by themselves can make an idea or product in this world that has value. We no longer have to be the worker bees! Thank you Seth!!!!
great to ponder.

Seth talks about seeing the world as a place of abundance in this post-industrial age, instead of scarcity, as in the industrial age. As an economist, I could not disagree more. What changes from one age to the other is the type of scarcity: from material things', to immaterial things' (scarcity of connection, meaning, time).

There's so much Love that
There's so much Love that slides past our focus on a daily basis. The symmetry of our nature eludes us while we get caught in our webs of disappointment. We expect so much, as we should, but often in that hope there are invisible pot holes that blind side our momentum. We break ankles while trying to hurdle the stars. We shed vulnerability in order to grow back thicker skin, believing that this truly makes us stronger, more protected, more attractive and more independent people, when in reality this is the worst thing we could do. There are so many of us with wingspans the size of skyscrapers and yet too afraid to open them up. We exchange humility for humiliation and feel safer by playing the martyr than attempting to be the hero. We sacrifice infinite opportunities to share love due to our reservations with rejection. We are brighter than the sun through a million magnifying glasses and yet we seek refuge from our own potential. We duck under umbrellas unaware that the weather is only raining on the inside, while Lilac sunsets cry to be noticed.
The beautiful truth about our species is that we were designed to be broken and then to put ourselves back together without having to have added extra armor in the process. We were meant to fail because without failure we'd never know where we once were after achieving success. Our growth can only be measured this way. If we seek not to change or too take healthy risks than we sever the kites attached to our spirit. Our flaws are our goals and our goals become our fuel, and the process between our ideas and our victories is our life. People are afraid to tell the world what they're going to do because if God forbid it takes them longer than expected to get there, or that we decide to change those goals in midstream, that others wont see the merit, honesty, or validation in those day dreams. The irony is that the results are fleeting regardless of the size of the trophy we aim for or end up carrying home. It's the connections we make along our journeys that keep us grounded in intimacy. We pave new highways so that others may find our doorstep easier. When we don't share who we are and what scares us, we end up building homes with no front doors. We end up staring out the windows through the blinds at our neighbors from a safe distance. Strangers become obstacles and sometimes even targets instead of friends who we just haven't met yet. We are all so part of the same dream and yet too often we build walls and dig motes in order to live safer and more disconnected lives.
My passion blossoms when I'm awarded the opportunity to watch others grow. I thrive off of watching others attempt to be better people. I find our flaws to be sexy when they are admitted. I find empathy to be the best anecdote when we get too lost within self. I've learned that it's impossible to feel bad about oneself while we are in the process of helping someone else. I can only hope that as I age I will continue to see the evolution of humanity traveling towards a gentler more forgiving awareness in regards to the way we communicate with one another. Having a child has made me look into the mirror longer than I ever once did. Its brought the truth of my character flaws to the surface with the buoyancy of a rocket ship. We cannot fool our children for long. They will eventually discover that we are not their Gods and that the answers are just as much of a mystery to us as it will be to them. I believe it's cleaner to show our messiness to the world than to polish off our acting skills. We need not to be desperate if we decide to accept that we won't get it right all of the time. I love this life and all the torture we endure as we walk through it. We are brave and charismatic creatures born into a galaxy that thrives off of balance. We need as much dark as light, as much doubt as certainty, and as much pain as love. To avoid this truth is to live in constant sorrow while setting ourselves up for an unachievable destiny. I dare myself to commit to this understanding, and to be blessed with substantial reminders when I've found myself trapped in moments of spiritual amnesia.
Your friends say you are
Your friends say you are special, loyal, fun, wonderful. You are loved. You have cultivated your mind, heart and being. Yet you remain a nobody online. Waiting to be seen and understood. How do you show up authentically online, in a digital world where a past story, a past life, a peak experience define your story. Does intuition work the same online as it does in the physical world. That's my question.
Hi Krista — just listened to
Hi Krista — just listened to the unedited Seth Godin interview. He used a great word for your presence at the table — tender — and you are such a thoughtful and curious listener, it makes all the difference in the world when one is asking questions and being deeply engaged in the answers flowing back.
I'd like to see you fill out this page with more interviews dated 2016! There are so many great characters from which to choose. I'll stay tuned.

I just really enjoyed the tie
I just really enjoyed the tie-in between art and business. As someone that has tried to explain to a skeptical parent (at 42 years of age) that all entrepreneurs (that create something new) are artists that message resonates with me. My business will ostensibly be based around improvisational acting, but the true product is a fun time communing with other creative people. The culture of safety is everything, and already my group is 100% committed to it.

Heart of Texas Vol. 2: Caroline's Child & Dr. Texas
- Brief Synopsis:
- Welcome back to Promise, Texas, a ranching community deep in the Hill Country. It's a good place to live and raise a family—and a good place to visit. Yes, there's a secret or two hidden beneath Promise's everyday exterior, but what town doesn't have its secrets?
- Long Synopsis:
- Caroline's Child Who's the father of Caroline Daniels's child? Everyone in town wants to know, but no one's ever asked—or ever will. The people of Promise are protective of Caroline and five-year-old Maggie. They care. Especially rancher Grady Weston, who's beginning to realize he more than cares…. Dr. Texas They call her Dr. Texas. She's Jane Dickinson, a newly graduated physician from California who's working at the Promise clinic—but just for a couple of years. They call him Mr. Grouch. Cal Patterson was left at the altar by his out-of-state fiancée, and he's not over it yet. Too bad Jane reminds him so much of the woman he's trying to forget!

Solid-state drives that rely on PCI Express bus instead of Serial ATA interface are rather common nowadays, however, those SSDs are mostly oriented on consumers. Integrated Device Technology (IDT) and Micron Technology on Tuesday said they would team up to standardize PCIe-based SSDs for the server, storage and embedded markets.
"Through this alliance with IDT, we're opening the doors for our customers to easily take advantage of the latest and most innovative flash technology, with features optimized for enterprise applications," said Dean Klein, vice president of memory system development at Micron.
As part of this alliance, IDT and Micron will co-develop enterprise flash controllers with a PCIe host interface optimized for Micron's flash devices and future generation RealSSD solid-state drives. Combining Micron's experience in flash design and SSD development with IDT's proficiency in PCIe solutions and memory interface products will enable devices to achieve lower latency, greater performance and new levels of storage integration.
"The existing IDT portfolio of memory interface products, PCIe bridges, switches and timing solutions with integrated Power Smart technology delivers industry leading performance and reliability to enterprise class customers today, Our alliance with Micron, together with their enterprise flash products will, in the future, supply the industry with PCIe-based solid-state drive solutions with unparalleled performance and reliability," said Mario Montana, vice president and general manager of the IDT enterprise computing division.

"These turned out amazing!!! Wedding Paper Divas does great work... I did all my wedding stuff through them (save the dates, invitations, and my thank you cards), and I even ordered napkins... not one complaint!!!"
"I was able to rotate this card, as the photo I chose was landscape. The design team were able to do this without a hitch. I decided to keep the navy blue color, as it suited the colors in my photo. Although the product itself is small, the photo quality was perfect. The ink printed beautifully on to the plush cardstock used, I couldn't be happier! I was actually able to use my printer at home to print a personalised message to each of the recipients, which saved my hand many hours of pain!"
"This thank you card was exactly what we needed to officially mark the end of our wedding celebration and festivities. It is absolutely beautiful! The quality is excellent and clearly demonstrates the care we took to find a perfect product. We are happy to express our gratitude to our family and friends using this card which is a part of the wedding theme we chose. All of the products in this suite were stunning!"
"The quality of the card (paper and printing) was fantastic. I was extremely happy with the finished product and have had so many compliments of how classic and elegant it was. I was also thoroughly impressed by the service provided as I was emailed when the original picture I used was too grainy to give a good finished product. As soon as I submitted a new picture I was contacted to be told this was a better quality. I thought this may delay the printing process and therefore the delivery date but the cards arrived a day earlier than anticipated. I would definately recommend this product and also wedding paper diva services, even to those in the UK like myself, it's better than anything you will find there :-)"
"This card looks and feels great and fits perfectly with the save the date and wedding invitation from stunning flourish. We have received many positive reactions to these cards. The designers helped to perfect our photo in the frame, and the result looked stunning!"

German Equatorial Mounts (GEM) have long since been recognized as the mount of choice for astrophotography. Needing to track in only one axis for long exposures; adjustable counterweights and tube position for perfect balance, the GEM has few short comings when it comes to imaging. In order to do long-exposure astro-imaging, an equatorially aligned telescope is needed to allow your telescope to properly track the motion of the sky. However accurate tracking still depends on an accurate polar alignment. Even with a visible star very near the North Celestial Pole (NCP), the true celestial pole can be a very elusive place to find without assistance.
Now select Celestron mounts can utilize a new innovative Polar alignment procedure called All-Star. All-Star allows users to choose any bright star, while the software calculates and assists with polar alignment.
Here's how it works.
Once your telescope is aligned with two bright star, All-Star allows you to choose any bright star listed in the NexStar hand control to assist in accurately aligning your telescope's mount with the North Celestial Pole. Using the telescope's Sync function, the mount is able to point and center a bright star with a high degree of accuracy. Once centered, the mount will point the telescope to the exact position that the star should be if the mount were precisely polar aligned. By simply adjusting the mounts altitude and azimuth controls to re-center the star in the center of the eyepiece, you are actually moving the mounts polar axis to the exact position of the North Celestial Pole.
Can I use Polaris to polar align my telescope?
Since Polaris is very close to the NCP and not very bright, it is actually not a recommended star for the "All-Star" method. The advantages of being able to use stars other than Polaris are two fold:
Which stars are best to use for polar aligning?
For best results choose a bright alignment star that is near the Meridian, preferably close to the celestial equator. Try to avoid stars that are close to the west/east horizon or directly overhead because they can be more difficult to center using the mount's altitude and azimuth controls. Also stars too near the celestial pole are less accurate than those further away.
Will I lose my alignment after I polar align?
No, the mount will retain its alignment but some amount of accuracy may be compromised depending on how much the mount has been moved during polar alignment. Although the telscopes tracking may be very good, pointing accuracy may need to be improved, especially if you are trying to located small objects on a ccd chip.
What are the steps to polar align my telescope using "All-Star" polar alignment?

Exercising on Fitness Mats
Exercise mats can be a great way to start an exercise regimen at home. When you're first beginning integrating regular workouts into your routine, you might not want to start with heavy weights or complex equipment. You can always add these down the road once your body is more conditioned. If your exercise requirements run to simple, low impact workouts, such as yoga or Tai Chi, the right exercise mat can be just what you need.
Exercise Mats
Whether you're looking for the right mats for gymnastics, yoga, floor exercises, or even to protect your floor from treadmills or ski machines, you'll find it at Sam's Club, at an affordable price and available with the convenience of having the mats shipped directly to your residence. You can find a folding gymnastics mat which is especially great for kids first learning basic gymnastics skills, multi-purpose foam mats in a variety of colors, even eco-friendly yoga mats with basic yoga positions printed right on the mat. If you've been waiting for an excuse to start your regular exercise routine, now you have it.
Find the right mats for you and Sam's Club and get started on creating that happier, healthier you that you deserve.

A telephone-based asthma management coaching programme improves QOL in parents of children with asthma, but has no effect on child's QOL or on use of urgent care
- King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK
- Correspondence to Sarah Latham
Department of Respiratory Medicine, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Denmark Hill, London SE5 9RS, UK; slatham1{at}nhs.net
Asthma is the commonest chronic disease in childhood. In the UK, there are 1.1 million children with the condition, equating to approximately three in every classroom.1 Asthma is more common and more severe in the UK than in many other parts of the world,2 and between 20 and 30 children die from the condition per year.
With these statistics in mind, the education of families of children with asthma as to the management of the condition, including appropriate behaviour when asthma deteriorates, is paramount. The use of telemedicine in such education is gaining in popularity, particularly telephone reviews. In addition, the use of such technology is in line with government policy on management of long-term conditions. Telephone reviews for asthma have been shown to be effective in increasing asthma review rates, and in being acceptable to patients and also improving their confidence.3 Most of this research however has been carried out in …

They can't keep their hands off this toy
By Planet Weidknecht
from Pflugerville, TX
About Me Daycare Provider, Education Oriented, Preschool Teacher
Best Uses
Imagine you are four years old. Ruff's House is full of secrets from the minute you open the box. The ten rubber bones are perched on the doghouse roof. Remove the plastic from the ten bones and you discover that the bumps are different on each pair of matched colors. Remove the plastic wrap from the doghouse and you find a doggie door made of black flexible rubber. You must reach inside - it simply calls to you. Your hand touches softness and you pull out Ruff, the puppy you always wanted (that doesn't tear up shoes), plus ten more bones! As the teacher, I'm looking at this toy thinking of all the different educational games I can play with the kids - sorting and counting and matching. Sorting by colors, counting by ones and two, and matching by texture. A wonderful toy!! I received this toy at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
Great tactile game
By From PDX with Love

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
My oldest son loves playing with their new game. He caught up to it pretty fast too! The way we play it is we put 5 of the rubber bones inside the house while we hold the other 5 in our hands. We randomly choose a bone and we let him see it, hold it and touch it. Once he is ready he'll stick his hand inside the house and let him find the bone he has in his hand. He finds it quite rewarding to find the right bone!We also use the soft bones the same way. And just once have we had both rubber and fabric bones in the house. It went OK. Boy decided to be sneaky and peak inside the house!!The boys also play together….throwing the rubber bones down the hall!! And they take turns!!

|The following story was submitted by the team's parent volunteer reporter. To submit stories about your team, send text and photos via e-mail.
Sandy, Utah – The weather was not great but the atmosphere at Rio Tinto Stadium was perfect as several Idaho Rush soccer families watched Real Salt Lake beat the New York Red Bulls, 2-0.
Parents, coaches and players from the U12-Black and several other teams braved difficult conditions on the road and during several friendly scrimmages with local teams over a two-day period.
The winds blew hard but it couldn't dampen spirits as a great day of scrimmage games was followed by an exciting Real Salt Lake home opener and then a "surprise" autograph session with RSL left back Chris Wingert. The players were awed by the skills demonstrated on the pitch by both teams, including a narrowly missed goal from a bicycle kick by Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry.
Wingert's great play on the field is complemented by his terrific personality. He graciously signed hundreds of autographs and took pictures with the players. He's a role model for our Rush players in all age groups.
The activities continued into Sunday morning as the players met for an indoor training session with Rob Karas, RSL director of youth training camps. The training was a fitting finale to a great weekend in Utah. It was also a reminder that the road to the MLS starts with dribbling, juggling, headers and lots and lots of fun!

I'm a big fan of the tapwater around here; Glasgow, Scotland. I run it through a brita max filter but I'm in the process of deciding on a seperate tap and filter system from the mains.
I got a sample of the bamboo charcoal form Teamasters and I from what I can tell it helps a little and seems to do no harm.
The lady who first encouraged me to spend silly amounts of money on tea was of the opinion that the two best drinks in the world, whisky & tea, come from the two best water supplies in the world, Scotland & China. I'm aware this may be debatable, It might be better to debate it with me when I've been drinking tea as opposed to the other option.
If there are any whisky drinkers out there a few spots of fine tea added some fine whisky does far more than a few drops of water ever could - finding the right matches is the fun bit, hic.
Some of the most enjoyable tea I've had recently was at the Rockness music festival on the morning after the first night's partying. The water was drawn from Loch Ness and prepared on a small hill overlooking the loch, whether it was the loch water or simply that my body was so glad for good tea I don't really know or care.
I'm trying to be happy for those with their own wells and springs but it is sticking in my throat somewhat.

A delegation of senior United States Agency for International Development (USAID) officials joined the Water and Power Development Authority's (WAPDA) Chairman, Shakil Durrani, on a visit to Gomal Zam on April 21, for an update on construction progress. USAID is co-funding completion of the Gomal Zam Dam, which will add 17.4 mega-watts of power to the national grid. This amount is sufficient to supply electricity for 25,000 households.
With USAID support, WAPDA has already completed more than 90 percent of the dam and hydropower components, as well as nearly half of the transmission line of the Gomal Zam project. The reservoir has already started filling with water, and by mid-May, testing and commissioning of the first powerhouse unit will begin. The entire project is expected to be finished by this coming winter.
"This project will increase the supply of electricity to thousands of consumers and enterprises in the country," said USAID Mission Director Andrew Sisson during his visit to Gomal Zam. "The dam will also help protect downstream villages and towns from floods, and provide irrigation water to farmers."
As part of the U.S. government's long-term commitment to improve energy supply in the country, USAID is supporting the completion of several high-impact energy sector projects in Pakistan. In addition to Gomal Zam Dam, USAID is helping construct Satpara Dam, modernize three generators in Tarbela Dam, and upgrade the thermal plants at Jamshoro, Guddu, and Muzaffargarh. USAID is also partnering with the Government of Pakistan to reduce inefficiencies in the use of electricity and reform the sector so that it can grow with the economy and pay for regular maintenance.
This will support economic growth, fuel job creation, and improve the lives of Pakistani citizens.

American Cancer Society volunteers in Campbell County are reminding everyone to think of spring, and join the annual Daffodil Days effort to fight cancer.
"This weather is enough to get anyone down," said ACS Coordinator Charlene Lund of Pierre. "We are fortunate to have our regular volunteers willing to take orders in the towns in Campbell County."
In Pollock, Cindy Moser is taking daffodil orders by telephone at (605) 889-2318 until Thursday, Feb. 14. In Herreid contact Kountry Klassic and Gladys Fjeldheim at (605) 437-2961, and in Mound City contact Eva Ackerman at (605) 955-3315. Orders can be placed with Fjeldheim and Ackerman until Wednesday, Feb. 20.
Daffodils will arrive for delivery and pickup on March 11-12. The volunteer coordinators will know the time and place for pick up and or delivery.
The suggested donation amounts are the same this year as in the past several years. A bunch of daffodils is $10, the Dainty Daffodil potted plant is $15, the Boyd's Bear, a limited edition bear with a bunch of daffodils, is $25 and the Gift of Hope bouquet is $25. The Gift of Hope bouquets go to people in the area who are getting treatment for their cancer.
"Giving a Gift of Hope is a great way to let people know they are being thought of with well wishes for a complete recovery and it is also a great way to support the American Cancer Society and be active in the fight against cancer. By giving a Gift of Hope, you are really doing more than giving hope to someone, you are donating to put an end to cancer," Lund said. The Bear Hug is a plush Boyd's Bear that goes to children receiving cancer treatment in a South Dakota hospital.
"By giving daffodils to friends, family members and cancer patients, donors are really supporting research and programs and services that improve the lives of people facing cancer," said Lund.
For more information about the American Cancer Society visit www.cancer.org or call the 24 hour toll free National Cancer Information Center at (800) 227-2345.
