City cuts Clark Metro's funding
by Chuck Hoven
(Plain Press, August 2006) Clark Metro Development Corporation (CMDC) was blindsided by a recent decision to cut its Community Development Block Grant funding from the City of Cleveland from the $70,000 it received in each of the last two years to zero dollars for the fiscal year that began July 1, 2006.
CMDC Executive Director Steve Kruger said that Clark Metro Board President Randy Buchko was called to a meeting at City Hall on May 30th and informed of the decision in a meeting with Ward 14 Councilman Joe Santiago and City Council Clerk Emily Lipovan, who said she was representing Council President Martin Sweeney.
At the meeting, Kruger says Buchko was told an evaluation by the Community Development Department indicated that Clark Metro was the second worse community development corporation (cdc) in the city.
Kruger finds it hard to believe that the City of Cleveland's evaluation of Clark Metro Development Corporation could be so different from Neighborhood Progress Inc's (NPI) evaluation of CMDC. Kruger noted that Clark Metro placed in the top 16 of 30 Community Development Corporations in a competitive process to obtain funding from NPI, which is charged with distributing foundation funding to cdc's. Kruger therefore believes that the decision to cut the city's CMDC funds "was obviously something political."
Kruger says Clark Metro Development Corporation was not offered any opportunity to respond to the cuts prior to the decision being made. He said, "at no point did Community Development officials come to Clark Metro and say, 'here is what you are doing wrong' and ask for an explanation. The bottom line is all we asked for was our day in court and we were not given that."
At the May 30th meeting, Buchko reported that Santiago and Lipovan had a file of information from the Community Development Department on Clark Metro, including an evaluation report on which they said the decision to cut CMDC's funding was based. Buchko asked to see the file, but Santiago and Lipovan told him they were not at liberty to share the file with him.
Buchko, in a letter dated May 30th (the same day as the meeting with Santiago and Lipovan), requested the evaluation information and criterion it was based upon, as well as the letter from the Community Development Department stating their recommendation to Cleveland City Council.
Despite the file having already been compiled by Community Development for Lipovan and Santiago, Buchko and Clark Metro did not receive a response from the Community Development Department until getting a fax on June 28th, after the decision had already been finalized by a vote in Cleveland City Council.
Even then, all the information requested was not provided. The evaluation summary provided broad categories with points assigned to each category, but no explanation as to the basis of determining how points were awarded.
Kruger indicates that despite the cuts, Clark Metro will carry on, but at a diminished capacity. He says the organization still has another year of funding from NPI and also has some income from managing the bank building in which its offices are located. However, the recent decision by Cuyahoga County to move its various neighborhood service offices to a Memphis Avenue location will also hurt Clark Metro's revenue. Kruger says he has already had to lay off staff members. The layoffs were based on seniority and included the organizer that had recently organized a number of new block clubs in the neighborhood. Kruger says the remaining staff of Clark Metro Development Corporation will be stretched thin.
Clark Metro Development Corporation helped to fund the security cameras and police patrols designed to reduce criminal activity on the corner of Clark and W. 25th. In an article in the March 2006 Plain Press, Kelly Pierce wrote that "since the program's start, more than 50 arrests have been made and an attempted abduction of an 11-year old girl was stopped." Kruger says now Clark Metro will be unable to contribute to the security patrols and the cameras.
Brent Thompson, owner of Let's Wrap at W. 25th and Clark, was instrumental in organizing the security camera and police patrol program. Although area businesses also contribute to the security program, he says the program will not be able to continue without Clark Metro's contribution. He says the decision to cut Clark Metro's funding has set the effort back three years. He blames Councilman Santiago for the cuts and says the Councilman, despite being invited, has not attended regular meetings held by area businesses organized with the help of Clark Metro Development Corporation.
Thompson, a board member of Clark Metro Development Corporation, says the philosophy of Clark Metro Development's Board of Trustees has been, "We don't want poor people to be displaced in order to build community. It means we will take a longer road, but our results will have more duration."
As a board member Thompson says he is committed to continuing the struggle. "We've got to save our community development corporation. It is still going to be here. But it is going to be so diminished."
Besides neighborhood development planning, development and security, Clark Metro is the neighborhood face for a variety of city programs and services offering help with maintaining housing, energy conservation, and crime prevention. The development corporation serves as the neighborhood's first source of information on many city programs.
In a July 3rd letter to Terrence A. Ross, Community Development Department Commissioner of the Division of Neighborhood Services, Clark Metro Board President Randy Buchko made it clear who he believes is responsible for the cuts in funding to Clark Metro. The letter states, "when residents and business owners make any inquiries as to why CMDC no longer provides certain programs and services, CMDC will tell them that it is a direct result of the decision made by the City of Cleveland and Councilman Joe Santiago not to fund the organization."
CMDC Executive Director Steve Kruger can only speculate as to why CMDC funds were cut. He says the organization had completed the development of a five-year commercial corridor development plan and currently had "more partnerships with other community organizations than it ever had before."
Kruger is says he doesn't know if a difference in development philosophy exists between Clark Metro Development Corporation and Councilman Santiago that resulted in the funding cuts. Kruger says he has no idea what Santiago's philosophy is. He says while Santiago met early on in his term with Clark Metro's Executive Committee, Councilman Santiago has never attended the organization's board meeting. Perhaps Santiago's lack of effort to restore funds to a major development corporation in his ward are an indication of Santiago's feelings, "I didn't see him fighting for us," said Kruger.
John Wilbur, Assistant Director of the Community Development Department said, "what changed radically" in the funding allocation process this year is that the Community Development Department decided to do "more thoughtful funding allocation based on scoring." He said that declining Community Development funding from the federal government and pressure from policy makers resulted in this decision.
Wilbur indicated that Clark Metro had received low scores for the past three years on evaluation reports.
The Plain Press requested copies of the evaluation forms, criteria, and all files, names and notes and names of those involved in making the funding decisions for Clark Metro. Wilbur said the information requested by the Plain Press was in various files and could not immediately be assembled.
Community Development Department spokesperson Joe Skrabec said the process of compiling the records requested by the Plain Press would take 10 days from the time our July 20th request was made. Thus all files related to the decision are not available at press time.
Wilbur did provide the Plain Press with a summary report comparing the scores and allocations of the various community development corporations. The report also contains broad categories used in evaluation and how many points a cdc can earn in each category for a total of a possible 100 points. Clark Metro Development Corporation's scores were among the lowest with scores over the last three years of 46, 44 and 37 points. However, there was no indication as to who was involved in the decision-making or how the points were arrived at or even how many points Clark Metro received in each of the categories for which points were allocated. The criterion this year also changed. For example, this year's point system provided a maximum of 5 points each for "working relationships with other community organizations in the neighborhood" and "working relationships with the community." Last year a maximum of 10 points were possible in each of those categories.
Former Ward 14 Councilman Nelson Cintron, Jr. praised Clark Metro for a great number of accomplishments while he was in City Council – a term which covered much of this past fiscal year and the two previous years covered by the evaluation. He credits the organization with bringing new businesses to the neighborhood and being instrumental in saving important buildings on the corner of Clark and W. 25th, finding room for a major area corporation to expand in the neighborhood rather than move out of the city.
"I think Steve Kruger and that whole organization have done miracles, " said Cintron, crediting the organization with the improvements on W. 25 that included closing down of a porn theatre.
Cintron believes "the Councilman has to put up a bigger fight to maintain funding of Clark Metro. This is an area that needs the most help." During the last two years of Cintron's tenure, the city provided nearly its maximum to Clark Metro, $70,000 each year.
Ward 14 Councilman Joe Santiago was unavailable for comment.

Qwest Communications wants to expand its broadband connections to the Internet into the rural and underserved areas of its Utah operating territory, and it is asking the federal government to help pay for the effort.
The Denver-based telecommunications company has applied for a $350 million grant from the government's Broadband Initiative Program to help it deploy high-speed Internet service to its hard to serve rural areas in the 14 states where it operates.
If the grant is awarded, Qwest said it would commit approximately $17 million to expand and upgrade its network in Utah so that an additional 19,000 residents can have access to broadband speeds of 12 to 40 Mbps, or 40 million bits of data per second.
"We're committed to continuing to expand our broadband network in Utah," said Jerry Fenn, Qwest's Utah president. "But there still are some areas where the cost of deploying our high-speed network remains prohibitive and we just can't make a business case to do it."
When Congress enacted the $787 billion stimulus package in 2009, it set aside $7.2 billion of those funds for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) and the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications Information Administration to set up a program to stimulate broadband deployment in underserved areas.
Fenn indicated the $350 million grant that Qwest is requesting would be enough to fund 75 percent of the cost of building out its rural telecommunication infrastructure. Qwest is pledging to cover the remaining 25 percent, or $117 million, itself.
Bart Kendrick, a spokesman for the RUS in Washington, D.C., said the deadline for submitting grant applications under the Broadband Initiative Program is Monday. "And under the law, we [RUS] have to award the grants by Sept. 30, 2010."
If Qwest is successful, it would further expand its "fiber-to-the-node" technology in Utah. That technology utilizes fiber-optic lines to neighborhood or centrally located nodes and existing copper lines from those connection points into nearby homes and businesses.
Fenn estimates the effort would create or help retain 850 Utah jobs and increase state income tax revenue by $1.9 million. And he added the proposed deployment would provide 2,445 businesses, 143 community support organizations, 92 government facilities, three libraries and 120 medical and health care providers with high-speed broadband access.
The company wants to expand its high-speed broadband network into underserved areas in Beaver, Benjamin, Bingham Canyon, Brighton, Cedar City, Charleston, Copperton, Eden, Elsinore, Genola, Glenwood, Heber City, Herriman, Huntsville, Hurricane, Liberty, Midway, Monroe, Morgan, Mountain Green, Ogden, Park City, Payson, Richfield, Riverton, Salt Lake, Santaquin, Sigurd, Smithfield, Spanish Fork, Venice and Willard.

SET MARGIN Command
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Sets the left printer margin and affects all output directed to the printer.
SET MARGIN TO nColumns
- nColumns
- Specifies the left margin in columns. The default is 0 columns; the maximum is 256.
If you use SET MARGIN to adjust the left margin, the value specified with SET MARGIN is stored to the system variable _PLOFFSET. You can also set the left margin by storing a value directly to _PLOFFSET.
The value of the system variable _LMARGIN also affects the left margin setting.
Note The left margin setting specified in SET MARGIN doesn't affect reports created with the Report Designer and then run with REPORT. Although _PLOFFSET is adjusted during the running of a report created with the Report Designer, it is reset to its original value after the report is run. The Left Margin setting in the Page Setup dialog box of the Report Designer determines the offset from the left edge of the paper. Choose Page Setup from the File menu to display the Page Setup dialog when the Report Designer is open.

Loud As She Wants
I tried the electric toothbrush - and let me tell you it felt sooo good! I did
it when no one was home and I got to scream as loud as I wanted. What I did was
I got the toothbrush and started massaging my already wet pussy. Then I decided
I wanted to see myself. I propped up a mirror and watched me fuck it.
Afterwards, I just sat there looking at my pussy pulsating - and that just sent
me off. I got into the doorway and humped the doorway, and then I got some
pillows and humped till I was so tired. I love this site so much - thanks for
giving me some tips!!
Hit the G-Spot
I love to masturbate with my electric toothbrush. I love to let it rest on one
side of my clit at first then I start moving it with up and down motions to
tease myself. Then as I feel myself begin to climax I take my second electric
toothbrush and lube it with my natural juices, then slide it into my vagina and
let it touch my G-spot. Then even though I'm not lesbian or even bi I think of a
woman eating me out slowly then I think of me beginning to pee. She stands up
and positions her clit right under the line of my pee and we both have a
tremendous orgasm it's the weirdest but most erotic fantasy! You should cum
about 5 times at least.
Brush to Brush
Stick the bottom end of a regular toothbrush up your pussy, then take the head
of a vibrating toothbrush and touch it to the bristles of the toothbrush in your
pussy. Move the vibrating one around on the head of the toothbrush in your pussy
until you find the spot where the vibrating is the most intense. This is great
because it vibrates your whole pussy.
This Tastes Funny
I masturbated with a toothbrush (both sides, it was a thick one) and 2 days
later my sister's boyfriend sleeps over, and the next morning I walk in my
bathroom and see him brushing his teeth with that one toothbrush. Oops!
Jack Like a Dude
Take off your underwear and put spit on your clit, lots. Tease yourself a
little, adding more spit each time you rub your clit firmly in small circles.
After you feel ready for more intense pleasure use your toothbrush handle and
slowly insert it in your vagina in and out, then spread your lips, exposing your
clit and put the tip of the toothbrush on top of your clit and make a stroking
motion like if you were a dude and jacking off faster and faster each time. It
feels like being fucked and getting lots of clitoral stimulation. Amazing
orgasm! I recommend you try it!
Tennis Pro
When I want to masturbate I usually read stories like this while I have a tennis
ball in my pants. Position the tennis ball so it's right under your clit. Then
when I I'm really wet I stick an electric toothbrush up my vagina. When you are
about to cum go hump the door, with your hands on the knobs.
She Tastes Minty
My girlfriend masturbates with toothbrushes before she brushes her teeth. She
says her pussy feels cleaner, a "mintier taste". And it's true, 'cause when I
eat her out, I can still taste the toothbrush.
Phone Sex Connection
I masturbate by getting my electric toothbrush and sticking it in and out in my
pussy (the bigger side in my pussy) and then I start rubbing my clit and pushing
in and out at the same time. The orgasm feels great. I have a long distance
relationship, so sometimes, most of the time, me and my boyfriend have phone
sex. He tells me what to do and I do it... It feels great!
Brushing As I Type
If you don't have a vibrator this works really good. You will need an electric
toothbrush, and your pussy. Put the end of the toothbrush into your pussy, then
turn it on. After you have reached your orgasm, take it out (still vibrating)
and (don't wipe off the juice from your pussy!) tease your clit with it. It
works so good...I'm doing it as I type!

Last September, I noted that Mark Dornford-May's short film Unogumbe, based on Benjamin Britten's Noye's Fludde, had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film has continued to play at festivals since then — appearing at the Berlinale in February, for example — but it has not, to my knowledge, played anywhere near me yet, nor am I aware of any plans to distribute the film, even online.
The Boston Globe now has an article on the film which, interestingly enough, is not tied to any screening of the film in that city but, rather, was prompted by a live performance of Britten's opera by a local choir this weekend.

I go to bed with many of my marketing blog readers every night and they are all looking for some action. Something that is going to 'click' and make the night something to remember. A good headline grabs their attention, but its about what comes after that really matters.
Sometimes I am "on" and sometimes I am not.
The topics vary and the audience changes - daily. It's an ever evolving door and it keeps some people interested and some people not.
When you are thinking about writing a blog, whether its about your business, life or a hobby that you enjoy - remember that if you have an audience, they typically will be going to bed with you, so how do you keep them interested and excited?
Keeping them up all night remembering what your blog was about isn't the worst idea in the book (or blog as it may be).
If they write down notes from your blog and put them into action the day later or the week later - that isn't too bad either.
Writing a blog takes time and the content needs to remain relevant to your target audience. Sometimes that target audience changes and adapting the content in your blog needs to depict that.
Originally, the Marketing Eye blog was written for prospects and now it has evolved into an entrepreneurs blog with a strong marketing flavour.
If you have slept with quite a few of your blog readers or would like to sleep with alot more - then consider the above. Re-visit what you are doing and ask your readers what they want to read about.

Pupils Delighted
Anthony Esolen on Wondering or Wandering Through College Education
This spring at our college's awards ceremony I was sitting next to the father of one of my brightest students. His son was graduating in biology, summa cum laude. But that's not what the father wanted to talk to me about. He wanted to express his gratitude for my being a kind of spiritual guide for his son.
If I did guide his son, it was indirectly, by introducing the young man to some of the glorious poetry of the Christian world. I don't know that he needed such guidance; he is uncommonly wise for one of his years. But it was my privilege to be the person who led him to the beauty and the wisdom of the works of Dante and Milton, of Spenser and Shakespeare.
And there was more. The father was grateful also because his son brought home with him that beauty and wisdom, and it buoyed up the good man during difficult times, when he was tempted, as he put it to me, to "pack it in." Then he showed me a card in his wallet, of Jesus of the Sacred Heart, with the white and red rays, signs of love and mercy.
So there we sat as the ceremony proceeded. Then it came time to honor this year's recipient of the college's teaching award. This professor is a friendly fellow, scrupulous in his work, and well liked by students in his field. He's also someone who has no admiration whatsoever for the humanities. He's spent two or three decades deriding our college's two-year course in Western Civilization. He runs it down in his classes, in the presence of students enrolled in the course. He's been known to pick on students publicly for studying poetry, which he calls useless. His outlook is entirely secular.
I expected to wince. Instead, what I heard puzzled me. I am still trying to understand it. He congratulated the students for being part of the "most selective freshman class in the last ten years." He congratulated them for their being what he called "engaged learners," unlike freshmen at our school thirty years ago—many of whom, it should be noted, were present in the audience and pay his salary—who were "passive learners," taught merely to memorize information from lectures. That last was an ill-bred and ill-informed slap at our Western Civilization course.
He concluded his short acceptance speech by declaring that he had no doubt that the honorees in attendance would make us proud. This they would do by "earning high scores on standardized tests," or "obtaining internships and fellowships," or "distinguishing themselves in musical or theatrical competitions," or "winning admission to prestigious graduate schools."
As Milton's Belial says in Hell, "And that must end us, that must be our cure."
Unaware Amputees
I am not much puzzled by the emptiness of the secular world, its pious slogans and self-congratulatory politics (here, as it happens, politics of the left) little more than a flourish upon cold, meritocratic ruthlessness. I concede that it does still shock me when I see it up close. I imagine that it still surprises an army surgeon to see a man with no legs stilting into his office. These here are spiritual amputees. I wish they weren't, just as the surgeon might wish that the man with the prosthetics had his own legs again.
But what does puzzle me is the utter lack of awareness. A man born blind does not know what it is to see, but he's heard of vision and he knows that he lacks it. A man with no legs may well remember what it is like to walk. But—in my experience—the secularist does not know what he does not know.
And that, as I said, does puzzle me. How could this colleague of mine not be aware of the amputation? We are, after all, a Catholic college. There were priests on the dais. The ceremony began with a prayer. The president opened the speeches with a discussion of Thomas Aquinas and honor. Mass would be celebrated later in the afternoon.
And, as is always the case at such ceremonies, there were those things called people in the audience, a lot of sinners and maybe a saint or two, old people watching the sun go down on their lives, children without a care in the world, husbands and wives more deeply in love with one another than when they were first married, others embarrassed and uneasy, some people contented and rich, others miserable and rich, some people searching for Jesus, others running away from him. And at this moment, all that you the secularist can talk about are the trappings of success, and some academic twaddle about being "lifelong learners." But about what you learn, and what life you lead, and where you are going, nothing. The secular life seems to me like one of those European road races that begin and end in the same city—a frenetic grand prix to get from Brescia to Brescia.
A few days later I opened the monthly magazine of my mater ferox, the Princeton Alumni Weekly. I always open the monthly Weekly to the back where the class notes are, just in case they mention one of my old friends. I also look at the obituaries. Then I file the Weekly in its receptacle under the kitchen sink.
This time I read several of the obituaries, combing through them to see if I could find a single reference to the faith of a Princetonian, his devotion to God made manifest in his love of family and neighbor. Nothing, not from the class of 1939 clear to the class of 1990. It is as if that whole dimension of human life—some people call it depth;I call it reality—did not exist. Instead, the obituaries were full of the usual praise for worldly achievements. Everyone is supposed to do Very Important Things, like acing a standardized test or winning a piano contest or publishing in Harvard Law or being elected Speaker of the House for South Dakota. No one is eulogized for merely loving a spouse and children, and certainly not for bending his knees in prayer.
Making Lovers of Wisdom
And yet—something else happened to me this spring. It is something that my student and his father would understand, and that might someday move them to tears, if they should come upon this article, which I write with love and admiration. A man had spent a half-hour at the bedside of his old professor, who was dying, and who was not aware of his presence. He said a decade of the rosary there.
He was moved to write to me, a stranger, to tell about his experience. I trust I am not revealing a confidence. This person, this former student, sent to me a copy of the brochure that he received when he entered something called the Pearson Integrated Humanities Program, at the University of Kansas, in 1974.
I can hardly look at the cover page without wanting to weep, it is so achingly sweet, so emblematic of how much we have lost. An old man in the foreground, mounted on a swaybacked and skinny horse, wielding a lance and a buckler, looks up at the stars—at Ursa Major and Polaris. It is clearly Don Quixote and poor old Rocinante. The stars are framed by a Roman triumphal arch, whose frieze is decorated with scenes from ancient Greece: a man teaching a youth to play the zither; a naked sprinter; a chariot race; a woman dancing; and two Muses with stringed instruments. Below them, on the sides of the arch, are two medallions, one depicting a medieval monastery, the other, what I'm guessing is the cupola to Independence Hall.
The Pearson Integrated Humanities Program must have violated every educational truism of our time. Two hundred freshmen and sophomores, for six hours a week for two years, sat in the company of three professors, John Senior, Frank Nelick, and Dennis Quinn, who discussed art, poetry, music, history, philosophy, and Scripture with one another, while the students overheard them and eventually learned to participate in the discussions themselves. The students also recited poetry, learned to waltz, and were introduced to such words as truth, faith, honor, love, courtesy, decency, simplicity, and modesty, not words much used in an Age of Iron, but then, Don Quixote was sent into that time precisely to bring back something of the Age of Gold.
The motto of the program was Nascantur in Admiratione, "Let Them Be Born in Wonder." One of the pages of the brochure explains why:
Smitten by Wonder
In my halting and often confused way, I hope that I have been trying, these twenty years and more, to lift up the hearts of my students, that they, too, might see a star or two. But these three professors, these three good and faithful men, did far more. They inspired hundreds of students to continue in their vision. Many converted to the faith. Some became priests or nuns or monks. Some went on to found their own schools, elementary and secondary schools and colleges, based upon the humane love of God and of God's world that they found in their teachers at the University of Kansas, and in the art and poetry they learned there.
Naturally, such a program could not be allowed to continue, and indeed the university trustees shut it down after about ten years. But the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church. These men brought beauty to the young people they met. Those students still honor them. The student who went to see his beloved professor writes that their faith lives on, and he mentions a few prominent churchmen who graduated from the program, and also "the moms and dads, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, farmers, doctors, accountants and whatever else, people smitten by wonder, whose lives were changed." (emphasis mine).
I am looking at a photo of Dennis Quinn. He looks fairly young, with curly blond hair and spectacles. He's wearing a coat and tie, and is gesturing with an open palm as he speaks to the student at his side. They are walking across the campus. The student, with long, curly black hair and a print shirt, is evidently thinking about things—he is carrying books in one hand, with the other placed on the back of his head, which is bowed.
It is this vigorous man, Professor Dennis Quinn, who lay dying, "in whom the light of life was flickering," as my correspondent writes. Professor Quinn passed away at about six in the evening, March 15, 2011. He was the last of the three professors to die.
Turning Eyes Starwards
What, finally, is the point of education? My colleague on the dais says that a man without data is just somebody else with an opinion. Not much room for wisdom there, or for those things that data cannot capture, such as beauty and goodness and truth, which are deeper than facticity. He measures the success of education in material terms; or perhaps I should just say he measures its success.
I can't pretend to be as good a teacher as Dennis Quinn was. I'm guessing that a lot of things have slipped since. But the faith teaches me. It shows me that my work as a teacher is to be a kind of forerunner, to be someone who turns the attention of his students to things that, on my own, I cannot comprehend—the true, the beautiful, and the good: contemplata aliis tradere, "to hand on the fruits of contemplation to others."
One last anecdote, one that I believe Professor Quinn, and my wise student and his father, would appreciate. A woman wrote to me this spring quite out of the blue. She had graduated in 1992, and had taken a class or two of mine in Renaissance literature. Then I taught her brother, a lovable rascal, several years later. She had read my monthly reflections in the Catholic missal Magnificat, and felt moved to thank me and to send a picture of her family. She's a devout and joyous Christian—not a winner of some competition, not a doctor or a lawyer or an Indian chief, but the mother of a brood of eight beautiful children.
I will be taping the picture to my office wall. When I think of her, and of students like her, so many fine people, I hope that I've been able to turn their eyes starwards. And when the time comes, and the great and mysterious final change is coming upon me, I hope that some one of them will visit me at my bedside, and say those things the world will never understand. •

What's the Best Way to Grow Your Human Capital?
1 May
Every workplace has workers who seem to be able to do anything and have extraordinary levels of output and productivity. Many managers and HR professionals may think they don't have to waste time investing in these workers' training and education. However, not pushing these superstars can be a drastic mistake for staff retention and performance. In an interview with Executive Leadership, Sander Flaum, adjunct professor at Fordham Graduate School of Business and leader of consulting firm Flaum Navigators, explained that companies need to continually invest A+ workers' professional growth. When it comes to developing a business' human capital, HR professionals should look to advance the skills of these performers.
Grow Their Roles
HR professionals need to work with top talent to expand their roles in the workplace. According to The Management Center, giving key employees more responsibilities and harder projects can encourage them to continue cultivating their abilities. It can be easy for workplace superstars to get bored or not feel valued when they aren't pushed by their employers to improve. Flaum suggested that giving A+ performers something new every once and awhile can keep them stimulated and help them expand their skill sets.
Embrace Mentoring
HR departments can create a professional mentoring initiative where top workers are paired with executives or leaders at the organization. This can urge employees to enhance their abilities in order to develop their careers, motivating them to grow professionally. These mentors can also identify things employees can improve on that their managers may not have noticed, and give employees key insight into their own potential career trajectory within the company.
Stay Informed About Their Career Goals
One of the last things HR professionals want to hear is that a top worker left the business. HR professionals need to stay up to date on how these employees are feeling in their positions, and whether their current jobs are preparing them to reach their professional goals. According to The Management Center, these meetings are often called "stay interviews," but HR professionals can think of these as career development one-on-ones. Professional mentors can also have these types of discussions with their mentees, either through formal meetings or informal interviews.
Building the company's human capital often comes down to how well A+ performers are being developed. HR professionals need to have a strong grip on the morale and career goals of these workers. Not only are these performers currently key players at the company, but they can advance the overall mission of the business in the long run.

From The
Balthazar Cookbook
6 Dover sole fillets
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, plus
more to taste
¾ cup flour (Wondra or all-purpose)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter
Juice of 2 lemons (¼ cup)
¼ cup flat-leaf parsley
the oven to 300° F.
the sole fillets and season both sides with 3/4 teaspoon
of the salt and the white pepper. Dredge the fillets
in the flour and shake off the excess.
2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick sauté
pan over a medium-high flame. When the oil smokes,
add 2 fillets and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
Transfer to a baking sheet, place in the warm oven
and continue with the next 2 fillets. Add oil as necessary,
heating to the smoking point before adding the fillets.
Repeat with the remaining 2 fillets.
all the cooked fillets to the oven and wipe the sauté
pan clean with a paper towel. Add the butter to the
pan over a medium flame. It will melt, foam, and subside,
and then begin to bubble again and turn a nutty brown.
Add the lemon juice, parsley, the remaining ½
teaspoon of salt, and several grindings of white pepper
to taste. Serve the fillets on warm plates with the
sauce spooned over.

Very funny to watch- and of cause lovely animations!
Thank you More to come
ToivoMedia said
Love the harlem shake pigs! I agree with others, the dislikes must be because it's not in English. I guess there's no way of designating different languages on youtube, so not much can be done about that.
All my videos will be created in 2 languages – my natural [because our kids] and English follows after. If video goes high [as for example "Gummy Bear"] – then translation is a must to all other languages & make it international
Mike_geek said
Thank you for the sharing! Good channel, go on!
Thank you, guys for your support I am happy to hear you like it. In the next few days another [shocking] video is coming, I am working on it in last 3 weeks.
DodoWeb said
Pricop said
but what's up with the dislike rate? :/
That was exactly my first thought. I can't see why people are giving dislikes, the only reason I can think of is because the videos are in serbian (not english).
Nice work!
Well for example, our baby loves so much Russian cartoon called Masha and The Bear [Ma?? ? ??????] – it is fantastic, on the level of Hollywood productions, perfectly leveled for kids but it has so many views but also over 45% dislikes. I still don`t get it but it might be because it is on Russian only. At least a subtitles would help other ppl to enjoy their cartoons fully.
ZozoUI said
WOW great job buddy, how is it in term of sales
Well its great for now – the only way is to keep creating funny vids that will have lots of viewers. Look at stats here [anybody can type any other YT channel name to see its stats here too]:http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/Djnykk/monthly
Google Ads are actually the way to earn money
WPAlchemy said
Doesn't this fall into self advertisement?
Well… actually no. I just didn`t expect that much visits from ordinary channel. I am just creating all this just for fun and in [very rare] free time… It might sound like "Totally Off-Topic Self Advertisement" somehow.
Pricop said
djnick saidQuite ok, but what's up with the dislike rate? :/
Good question. Dislike rate is around 30%
Seems like not everybody loves what I create. But what is more important – channel view grows so its now on 90.000 daily

Clayton McGrath
Graduate Assistant Coach - Defensive Tackles
Coach Info:
Graduate Assistant Coach - Defensive Tackles
Alma Mater:
Brown '12
(413) 636-2306
> More Videos
Clayton McGrath, a former football letterman at Brown University, joined the Duke staff in July of 2013 and serves as a graduate assistant coach on the defensive side of the ball. The 2015 campaign will be his first coaching the defensive tackles.
During the 2014 season, McGrath was part of a defensive coaching group that watched Duke hold five opponents to 13 or fewer points, the most since 1971. The Blue Devils allowed 21.77 points a game, the fifth best mark since the start of the 1976 season and best since allowing 20.58 points per game in 1994. Duke also forced 21 turnovers with 10 fumbles recovered and 11 interceptions.
McGrath aided in the development of ends Kenny Anunike and Justin Foxx in 2013. Anunike, who led the Blue Devils in sacks in each of his final three seasons and signed with the NFL's Denver Broncos in May of 2014, was a two-time All-ACC pick while Foxx, who was a captain of Duke's ACC Coastal Division championship team in 2013, finished his 45-game career with 152 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks.
In 2013, the Blue Devils recorded 26 takeaways — the fourth-highest total in the ACC — and their average points allowed in the fourth quarter (4.64) ranked second in the conference, trailing only national champion Florida State. In addition, Duke won all four of its road ACC games by allowing an average of 19.5 points per contest in victories over North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.
In 2012, McGrath served as an assistant coach at Wesleyan University, working with the defensive line as the Cardinals posted the program's first winning season in 10 years.
McGrath, who helped Brown to four straight winning seasons and the Ivy League championship in 2008, was a two-time All-Ivy League selection in 2010 and 2011. As a junior, he led the conference in tackles for loss while ranking third in quarterback sacks.
A native of Longmeadow, Mass., McGrath graduated from Brown in 2012. His father, Neil, is an assistant coach on the Brown football staff. McGrath, the brother of fellow Duke graduate assistant coach Sam McGrath, is currently pursuing a master's degree in Christian studies.

As one of the last of the forty-two 19th century Rothschild houses, Waddesdon Manor is the cornerstone of The Rothschild Foundation. Built in the 1870s and 1880s by architect Gabriel-Hippolye Destallieur for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, Waddesdon Manor was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1957 by James de Rothschild. Visitor numbers have soared since it was first opened to the public and we now welcome over 350,000 visitors a year, making Waddesdon the second most visited National Trust property in the country.
Lord Rothschild has been a major benefactor of this unique property and its collections, funding both restoration and improvements. At The Rothschild Foundation, we remain committed to the preservation, protection and improvement of Waddesdon for the benefit and enjoyment of the public.
Waddesdon today represents a centre for excellence in the field of arts, collecting, heritage and conservation, the environment and horticulture. It is developing its commitment to education, research and the dissemination of knowledge from Windmill Hill, located at the heart of the Waddesdon Estate. We will use the unique setting and activities of both Waddesdon Manor and Windmill Hill to complement and guide the Foundation's vision across its own Areas of Interest (see Research & Debate).

Thanks for the search, Vera. The baby survived. His name was Bill
Jones. I know that my grandmother and her brother, Walter Thomas, lived
with his father and sisters for a short time after their mother died. I
am trying to locate the cemetery where Bill Jones is buried in Oklahoma.
My grandmother's older brother, John Thomas was killed in a shooting in
Izard County in the 1930s? If you ever run across the newspaper article
on him, I would appreciate it. Perhaps it will lend a few clues.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/4/2013 (1566 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
To be deterred from visiting Pyongyang this weekend by Kim Jong Un's latest fit of pique is to let the bluster of a 29-year-old — nuclear-backed though it may be — deprive you of seeing one of the world's strangest cities at its most surreal.
The traditional tourism season in Pyongyang is from August to October, when visitors can attend the famed Arirang games — and it's true that the spectacle of thousands of brainwashed children doing gymnastics in perfect synchronicity does have its own unique charm.
But this weekend marks the lead up to the anniversary of Kim Il Sung's birthday, a chance to get an up-close look at one of the world's last great personality cults in action. And North Korea is not a country to let a temporary fit of nuclear brinksmanship stand in the way of celebrating the birth of its Eternal President.
Alongside the traditional military parade on April 15 — the actual birthday of the nation's founder — the weekend features both the Kimilsungia flower festival and, for the sports-inclined, the Mangyongdae Prize International Marathon. As an added bonus, the North has a tradition of sorts of staging its most provocative actions to coincide with Kim Il Sung's birthday. And the founder's grandson, Kim Jong Un, has just the ticket primed and ready, reportedly having moved his Musudan test missile into launch-ready position. So book now, and don't miss out on the fireworks.
1. Thrill Rides — Late-night activities start a little earlier than expected in North Korea, which plunges into darkness every evening due to chronic power shortages. But don't let the state-wide dearth of electricity ruin your first night in the Hermit Kingdom. Head for the Kaeson Youth Park — Pyongyang's answer to both Times Square and Disneyland — where the government has laid two special cables to ensure a steady supply of power. Originally opened in 1984, the park underwent renovations in 2010, and despite an abundance of sanctions against the country, has reportedly managed to get hold of several Italian-made roller coasters.
If Kaeson isn't enough to scratch your itch for excitement, it's just a short walk across Moranbong Park to Pyongyang's newest amusement park: the Rungna People's Pleasure Ground, where you might be lucky enough to sit in a seat that once graced the backside of Marshal Kim Jong Un himself.
2. The Alcatraz of North Korea
For dinner, check out the Yanggakdo Hotel, the second-tallest building in Pyongyang, and its revolving restaurant on the 47th floor. Its decor may have been described as having "all the glamour of a 1980s airport lounge," and the view, once the rest of the city goes dark for the night, may not be much to write home about. But from here you can rub shoulders with Pyongyang's jet set — often less-than-sober Russian and Chinese businessmen — and give your government minder a break (the hotel is on its own isolated island and is one of the few places where he doesn't have to watch your every step).
When you're finished with dinner, head to the lower floors, where you'll find a casino and a nightclub. Buy a few glasses of soju for your guide, who's waiting for you — it never hurts to be in his good graces — and try your luck at a few rounds of slots.
3. Reveille, Pyongyang style
Looking forward to sleeping in? Sorry. The air-raid sirens, which sound off daily at 7 a.m., aren't quite so accommodating of your soju hangover. Time to rise up with the workers of Pyongyang! Take advantage of the early start with a stroll along the Taedong River to the Mansudae Grand Monument — a must-see, larger-than-life bronze statue of the country's founder, which now stands alongside a recently unveiled statue of his son, Kim Jong Il. Don't forget to pick up some flowers to place at the Great Leader's feet.
4. A Taste of Vienna
Grab a cup of coffee at Pyongyang's exclusive Helmut Sachers Kaffee, an Austrian-Korean joint venture that pours a mean espresso. Just inside the Museum of Korean History, an imposing Stalinist building, you'll find the small and somewhat lifeless cafe. The linzer torte and cherry-cheese cake are just the thing to fill your belly in this land of recurring famine.
5. Plaza Mayor
If Paris is the City of Lights, Pyongyang is the City of Monuments to Kim Il Sung, and your tour is just getting started. The massive scale of Kim Il Sung Square, which extends from the Great Peoples' Study House down to the Taedong River, is designed to gloriously celebrate Juche, the North Korean political philosophy of "self-reliance," attested to by the 560-foot Juche Tower, across the river. Built to commemorate Kim Il Sung's 70th birthday, the tower is made from 25,550 blocks of granite: one for each day of his life. The square also serves a more practical purpose: it is capable of accommodating a rally of more than 100,000 people. (If North Korea successfully test-fires a long-range missile while you're in country, you'll want to make your way back here for the subsequent celebrations.)
If you can handle more of the Great Leader, head north to the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, where Kim Il Sung's body lies in state, along with his son Kim Jong Il's. Pay your respects to the two men, then make your way to the last monument of the day, the Arch of Triumph — a dead-ringer for the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, only a little bit taller and less elegant.
6. Flower Power
North Koreans have been preparing for weeks for the 15th annual Kimilsungia festival, which opens in mid-April and celebrates the bright pink orchid hybrid named after the founding father of the DPRK. Kimjongilias — the lipstick-red Begonias named after his son — will also be on display. The theme of this year's festival, according to one official of the Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia Committee: "Kimilsungia in Full Bloom in Praise of the Might of the Great Paektusan Nation." Wondering why there isn't a Kimjongunia yet? That's probably not a question you want to ask too loudly.
7. Walking the Boulevards
Take a stroll through the city at dusk, when the evening light reflects just so off the gray concrete blocks of buildings. Make sure to look up at the Ryugyong Hotel, which dominates the skyline at 105 stories, and its new glass-clad exterior. Once a lifeless concrete monstrosity dubbed the Hotel of Doom (construction began in 1987, stopped in 1992, then briefly resumed in 2008), it seemed that it would finally open its doors to the public. But once again, it appears to be stillborn, and it's not clear when progress on the Worst Building in the History of Mankind will pick back up again.
8. Runner's High
The recent spate of warmongering from the North may have convinced other tourists to keep their distance from the capital — which boosts your odds of catching a glimpse of the 26th annual Pyongyang Marathon. Get up early and try to claim a spot in Kim Il Sung Stadium, among the more than 100,000 spectators expected to watch the start and glorious finish. Athletes come from all over the world to contest this race, including runners from the Czech Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Ukraine and Zimbabwe. Last year, two-time winner Pak Song Chol was just barely edged out by Ukrainian challenger Oleksandr Matviichuk in a photo finish, and he'll surely be looking for redemption. If he's still alive.
9. River Tour
Make your final stop in Pyongyang lunch on the floating Pyongyang Number One Boat Restaurant, located just off Kim Il Sung Square on the Taedong River. The ship serves up decent meals while cruising up and down the river, providing you with water views of the Juche Tower, and past that famous monument to imperialist arrogance, the U.S.S. Pueblo. Captured by North Korea in 1968, the American ship is now a popular tourist attraction that has brought in more than a quarter of a million visitors.
Yanggakdo Hotel — A massive tower with spacious, comfortable rooms, numerous restaurants, and a whole private island — just don't try to wander off.
Koryo Hotel — Just a short walk from the Pyongyang train station, the twin-towered Koryo has become a social hub for the 100 or so expats in North Korea. Its revolving restaurant claims to serve the best steak in town — though the competition's not steep.

The first Charter Day speaker on record at William and Mary dates to 1859 with former President John Tyler. Among the luminaries since: Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr., Margaret Thatcher, Henry Kissinger and Prince Charles.
Suffice to say, this year's choice was astonished by the invitation.
"They had a list of about 1,065," Michael Clemons said as he prepared for Friday's keynote, "and they all couldn't make it."
Amusing line, but certainly not the case.
Clemons is arguably the most renowned professional football player in William and Mary history, a 2008 Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee who led the Toronto Argonauts to Grey...
