Are threats made on Facebook protected by the First Amendment?
That's what the U.S. Supreme Court aims to determine. The country's highest court said Monday it will hear the case of Anthony Elonis, a Pennsylvania man convicted in 2010 of making criminal threats of violence against his estranged wife, an FBI agent and others via his Facebook account.
Two lower courts have ruled that Elonis crossed the line into criminal behavior when he discussed killing his wife in a series of messages posted on his Facebook (fb) page, which were often written in the form of rap lyrics. Elonis has compared his messages to the rap lyrics of artists such as Eminem while contending that the content never rose to the level of a true threat, because he never intended to actually commit any violent acts.
The crux of the case, and what the Supreme Court must decide, is whether a conviction for threatening someone depends on "the defendant's subjective intent to threaten," or if, as the lower courts ruled, it is enough to prove that "a reasonable person" would feel threatened by the Facebook posts. The Supreme Court has said in the past that "true threats" of violence are not protected under the First Amendment, but the dispute over what constitutes a genuine threat has been raging since the Supreme Court ruled in the 2003 case Virginia v. Black that cross-burning is not always meant as a form of intimidation and should therefore be considered protected speech.
Last year, a federal appeals court upheld Elonis' 2010 conviction, which ruled "that a reasonable jury could find the [Elonis' statements] to be a true threat."

KTR, the cabinet minister of the Telangana is now seems deviated from his path and more interested to give pose with Samantha and Sridevi rather than finding solutions to the problems of the farmers claims Revanth Reddy, a TDP senior leader. KTR seems busy posing for photos with Samantha and Sridevi. He is more interested to walk the ramp and enjoy life.
He made his sister's wish to celebrate Bathukamma on a large scale and granted 10 crores for it. He also gave Sania Mirza 2 crores for her coaching to play better Tennis. OMG! Revanth questioned that "We are not questioning about all of them, we just want to know when you have time for all those activities, why don't you even listen to the farmers cry?
Are you so busy doing other things without actually consoling the farmers ?" Revanth Reddy was in total fire after the huge success of Bus Tour In Warangal. "Rather than solving the issue of power crisis why the CM and his government is blaming the CM's of neighboring states and even PM Modi? Why didn't elected MP's meet Modi and ask for a ministry?" blamed Revanth Reddy.
So, will this at least make KTR realise his priorities? Will he better think of farmers rather than thinking of romancing heroines in the pictures? What do you think?

i live with my mom and we have a cat. she is okay with it. sometimes my dad comes to our house because he lives in another city and has business here. he gave our cat away 2 months ago. we found it today and get it back home. if my dad finds out what we did, this means we're dead. there isn't any cat hotels here. what should we do?
Most Helpful Guy
Hide it in the oven. And don't forget to preheat!00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
haha aww
that's just mean! WHY would he allow you all to get a cat to then get rid of it? -___- that;s irresponsible pet owning. Also, IF he is not living with you guys, what right does he have to say over what pets you and your mom have in the house? He doesn't live there.
But anyway, keep the cat in your room when your dad is staying in town or ask a friend to keep the cat for a few days, somewhere where you know the cat iwl be safe. Bring to your friend's the cat food, little box and sand... And when your dad is gone, get back the pat. However, in the long run, you are going to have to tell your dad about the pet...
Unless he is the one paying for everything in the house, cat, food, rent, bills, utilities, etc.. He has absolutely NO right to say what animals you and your mother can or cannot own.
she is also a grown woman and can make her own decisions. Good luck! If you really can't keep the pet, then find someone (preferably a friend or a family) who can take the cat and keep it. Someone responsible and animal loving/friendly.00|00|0

|Protecting through connecting: wilderness, wildlife and people
The WILD Foundation is a non-profit organization, belonging to category 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, that was founded in 1974 by South African Ian Player, and based in Boulder, Colorado. WILD states that their vision is to inspire a world that protects at least half of all nature on Earth in a connected way for the benefit of wilderness and communities.
WILD works in three sectors: policy and applied research, with decision-makers in government, business, and community; field projects that integrate the needs of wilderness, wildlife and people; and communications, through publishing, media and the arts. The WILD Foundation is known for approaching wilderness conservation by training managers of protected areas, developing approaches to conservation, cooperatively launching new organizations and working with communities to protect nature.
Their work spans continents, from the Mali Elephant Project and In the Tracks of Giants in Africa to CAT in WATER, a fishing cat media project in Thailand; to the Kayapo of the Brazilian Amazon and work close to their home in Boulder.
The WILD Foundation was founded in 1974 by South African game ranger Dr. Ian Player. One of his most notable conservation contributions prior to forming The WILD Foundation was his 1960s work to save the white rhino from extinction, called Operation Rhino.[1] Recent escalations in rhino poaching[2] have brought this story back to the forefront of WILD's efforts.
After leaving the government wildlife service, Player founded The Wilderness Leadership School (WLS), taking people of all ages—especially those from underserved communities and leaders from all sectors – on five-day reflective hikes in the African wilderness. Started during apartheid, this school was the first organization in Africa giving its participants, called "trailists," a thorough wilderness experience regardless of background, race or nationality. The Wilderness Leadership School helped give rise to similar schools around the world.
In 1974, the ideas of conservation, spirit, science and culture that inspired the Wilderness Leadership School expanded into the concept that became The WILD Foundation and WILD's sister organizations in The Wilderness Network. Afrikaner author and war hero Sir Laurens van der Post worked closely with Dr. Player in the early days of WILD and was a founding member of the board of directors, serving until 1987. Originally named the International Wilderness Leadership Foundation, the organization began doing business as The WILD Foundation in 1988. WILD has been a member of the World Commission on Protected Areas (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) since 1988, and founder/co-chair of the IUCN Wilderness Specialist Group.
Since its founding, The WILD Foundation has worked on scores of field projects in dozens of countries. In 1983, The WILD Foundation established the World Wilderness Congress, the longest running international forum for the environment. The WILD Foundation has helped foster organizations, such as the Cheetah Conservation Fund based in Namibia, noted National Geographic photographer James Balog's Extreme Ice Survey, and the International League of Conservation Photographers, a consortium of the world's top photographers dedicated to "furthering environmental and cultural conservation through ethical photography."
For six years until about 2010, WILD and iLCP partnered with CEMEX Corporation to produce a book series, drawing attention to such topics as biodiversity, the human footprint, transboundary conservation and climate change. In 2004, The WILD Foundation worked with CEMEX Corporation and other NGOs to consolidate CEMEX's conservation projects in the Maderas del Carmen region in northern Mexico. The Maderas del Carmen was the first "declared," managed wilderness area in Latin America,[3] and the first such area in the world owned and managed by a major private sector corporation. This work was part of the 9th World Wilderness Congress, and led to the establishment of an "Area of Bi-National Environmental Interest"[4] straddling 10 million acres of Texas/Mexico border.[5] This area was supported by presidents Barack Obama and Felipe Calderón and signed into law in November 2011.[6]
The World Wilderness Congress[edit]
The World Wilderness Congress (WWC) is the world's longest-running, public conservation project and environmental forum. Science, management, government, academia, native leaders, youth, business, advocates and artists come together to work towards positive and practical outcomes for nature and society.
The congress began with a conversation between friends. Founder Dr. Ian Player and his Zulu mentor Magqubu Ntombela were sitting on the banks of the Umfolozi River in 1974 when they came up with the idea for the congress. Magqubu turned to Ian and said, "We are doing good work,but we need to do more. We should call an INDABA-KULU, a great gathering, for all people to come together for wilderness."
Three years later, the first World Wilderness Congress convened in South Africa. The event introduced the concept of wilderness as an issue of international importance to all people in all countries. The congress has become WILD's flagship program and has convened nine times on five continents, drawing thousands of people from around the world. World leaders, such as Mexico's President Felipe Calderón (2009), Norway's Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland (1987), Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser (1980); conservation legends Dr. Jane Goodall and Dr. Sylvia Earle, Dr. Iain Douglas-Hamilton; Nobel Laureates such as Dr. Thor Heyerdahl, Dr. Wangari Maathai, Dr. Mario Molina; tribal and community leaders such as Tashka Yawanawa, Oren Lyons, Maqgubu Ntombela; the heads of major international corporations; and hundreds of budding conservationists have participated in the congress.

Nature Needs Half[edit]
At the 9th World Wilderness Congress in Mérida, Mexico, WILD with the collaboration of a broad spectrum of international organizations, governments and individuals, officially debuted Nature Needs Half, a social movement to protect and connect at least half of all nature on Earth, land and water, in order to support the existence of nature and the services it provides.
Nature Needs Half is an idea put forth by the WILD Foundation and meant to be taken up as a common banner by any person or organization endeavoring to protect wild places. Marine biologist Dr. Sylvia Earle and Dr. Jane Goodall have endorsed Nature Needs Half, with Dr. Earle's only criticism being that "hoped that half would be enough."
Nature Needs Half was a concept born of sound science, based on reports from a collection of scientific papers stating that to protect the services and health of an environment, at least half of the habitat needs to be protected. Since its inception, WILD has begun collecting and conducting case studies of places around the world that have, or are on track to achieve, at least half protection.
Important Quotes from Notable Figures[edit]
"Nature Needs Half applies to the waters of the world as well as the land, from the tops of mountains to the greatest depths of the sea. More than half of the world is ocean, the blue heart of the planet. You decide: How much of your heart do you need to stay alive?" -Sylvia Earle, 2011
"Half the world for humanity, half for the rest of life, to make a planet both self-sustaining and pleasant." -E.O. Wilson, The Future of Life, 2002

Logframer 3.0 is out and it's the sixth version in total. So how is this project going?
Well of course monitoring is important for any project and I wouldn't be allowed to call myself a M&E expert if I hadn't devised a monitoring system for Logframer as well. So here are some of the main results
Since its launch in May 2013 (four years ago), Logframer has been downloaded more than 31000 times. That is pretty huge for specialist software aimed at project managers in international assistance.
As you can see in the chart, most people use the logframer.eu site (some 25.000 downloads in total - the blue line). Logframer is also available from a number of download sites such as Softpedia, Download.com, FindMySoft, FileCluster, etc. For my stats I track seven to eight of the more popular ones, but there are many more mirror sites out there that are not included in this list. (Beware for some mirror sites because they lure you in with free software and gain money by including all kinds of unwanted applications in their download files).
You can see the dramatic jump since November 2016, when version 2.0 was released. This was by far the most popular version:
In defense of version 1.3: it had to keep the fire going for two years while I completely revised the code and developed version 2.0. But still, version 2.0 managed to get more downloads in half a year than its older brother did in two years:
With Logframer 2.0's excellent results and the release of version 3.0 a couple of weeks ago, it's clear that 2017 is going to be a record year:
The number of downloads for the first six months (well almost; the first five-and-a-half-months) of 2017 are almost as high as the total number of downloads for 2016 - which was a record-breaking year.
When I started working on Logframer my hope was that it would be a useful tool for grassroots organisations as well as larger organisations and that it would be used in developing countries and donor countries alike. And this is the case, as you can see in the map below:
People from all over the world visit the site (the map shows the number of visitors per country, not the number of downloads). People of Greenland and Turkmenistan are not fond of project management and I urgently have to send an e-mail to the five people in North Korea that are allowed to use a computer about what a great application it is.
The top twenty of visitor countries shows a nice mix of people from developing and donor countries:
So all in all I'm quite happy with these figures so far, which exceed my expectations by some margin. I hope Logframer 3.0 will have a bright future and also that Logframer will attrackt more people from Spanish speaking countries once the interface has been translated.
The official launch of version 3.0 of Logframer isn't too far off now, it's a matter of days now. So it's high time for the traditional preview of the new features of this version.
Originally, version 3.0 was supposed to be version 2.1 - meaning that it was supposed a minor upgrade instead of a major new version. But well, one thing led to another and before I knew it I had made so many changes that I figured it made more sense to release it as a new major update.
The one thing that led to many others was the ability to read and create IATI activity and organisation documents. IATI is the International Aid Transparency Initiative: it aims to clarify where aid money comes from and where and how it is spent. Amongst other things, this will empower local governments who will have a better understanding and overview of the aid that is coming their way or that has already been delivered in their country. But IATI also aims to inform the public at large, journalists, researchers, etc. To enable this exchange of information, IATI has created an information standard, i.e. a way of presenting information in a standardised, digital format. In some countries, NGOs are required by their respective governments to produce IATI activity files about all their projects as well as annual reports about the funding of the organisation as a whole.
IATI is picking up speed, but there aren't a lot of tools to produce IATI compliant files. But now Logframer can create such files, and the best thing is that you don't have to do anything particularly complicated: just develop your project in Logframer, push a button and presto! Your IATI activity file is ready for publication!
The great thing is that unlike most other tools, you don't need to copy-paste all that information from your project from the project's documentation into the tool.
To make sure all the information required by IATI can be developed in Logframer, a number of changes had to be made to the Project Information window. The bulk of the changes can be found here:
In the new Description tab you can indicate the phase your project's in. Content-wise you can indicate what type of project this is, what sectors it deals with and provide a short (or long) description of the project and the context you're working in.
Another improvement in this version of Logframer is the inclusion of (dynamic) maps. You can indicate the location of your intervention zones, target groups and (partners') offices on Bing Maps.
Another new addition is the Funding tab. You can list funding sources, add information about budget lines and calls for proposals, make a list of contractual obligations such as deadlines for reporting, external audits & evaluations, etc.
A key element in aid transparency is to provide information about transactions and show how money moves from the donor to the NGO to its partners to beneficiaries in the field.
What struck me when I first learned about IATI is how much information the Activity standard shares with the Logframer object model - in fact this was the reason why I started to add this capability of producing IATI files in the first place. But there is of course also information that is specific for aid transparency, which can be found in the IATI specific tab
A main worry was that the novice user of Logframer, or someone who just wants to create a (simple) project, would get lost in all these additional fields aiming for aid transparency. Logframer is not only used by NGO people but also by businesses, non-profits in other fields than international assistance, various government agencies, etc. So an important new addition was the introduction of view modes. Logframer now has four view modes:
The view mode can be found in the File toolbar. The File toolbar of version 2.0 was split up in a modified File toolbar and a new Reports toolbar:
You may notice the 'My organisation' button in the File toolbar. You can now create a separate file with information about your organisation that Logframer loads every time you start the application. You can use this information in your various projects - in fact your organisation is automatically added as the lead organisation in the list of partner organisations. You can also add a link to a picture file with your logo, which will consequently appear in the interface (see the Facilidev logo above in the Project Information window).
You can then include this information in the headers and/or footers of your reports
As said earlier, most of the changes can be found in the Project Information window. Some minor improvements were made in the logframe, planning and budget windows - mainly removing some bugs found by users since the release of version 2.0. However when you use Logframer to create an IATI organisation file, not only do you need to be able to provide your organisation's budget but also an overview of its expenses over the past couple of years. A new Expenses window was added to the interface, but it is only available when you work in IATI organisation mode:
Last but not least, you can use Logframer in a new language. Logframer 3.0 is also available in German thanks to the efforts of a group of volunteers from Applicatio Training and Management in Hamburg. A big thank you to this team.
Stay tuned for the official release of version 3.0 in a couple of days!
When we design a project we hope everything will go as planned. The weather will be nice, the suppliers will bring everything on time, there will be money in the bank, our well-trained staff will finish everything on time and there will be a beautiful rainbow over our work site.
I'm sure we've all experienced this many times in our carreers. But every so often, things may go wrong. There may be errors or accidents, or simply things we hadn't thought of or taken sufficiently into account. Or maybe we were aware that something just like this might happen, but we didn't really consider what we could or should do in such an event. The fact is, there are many ways in which the context or the environment in which we work may influence our project. The environment in this case doesn't refer just to the natural environment. It is about any factor that can influence your project, including human factors but also political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, etc. This influence may even be positive – great! – but can be negative and it can be expected or unexpected. We must be aware of this and try and prepare for it.
When you use a logical framework-based approach, you will know about the fourth column that contains the risks and assumptions. The good thing about logframes is that they explicitely take the (potential) influence of the environment into account. When you design a project, you understand what is necessary for your activities to be succesful and lead to tangible results that add up to the realisation of the central objective (purpose) of your project. The fourth column and the first column of the logframe have an if…then… relationship: if these pre-conditions hold true then we can do our activities. If we do our activities and the next set of assumptions hold true then the activities will produce the desired results our outputs. If we have all the necessary outputs and the next group of assumptions hold true, we will realise the main objective(s) of our project. And if a final set of assumptions hold true our project will contribute to a greater good.
Identifying assumptions (and risks as a kind of negative assumptions) is important to create awareness about critical success factors that are external to the project and often beyond our control. But how do you deal with actual problems that arise? What possible action can we take? Which alternatives exist? Who should take action? Who can help us? Who or what may obstruct us?
Originally the logical framework was only meant to be used during the planning stage, but gradually it became both a project design and management (including monitoring and reporting) instrument. In the same vein it's important to consider how you will deal with incertainties and this influence from the environment not only during the formulation of the project, but also during its execution.
One interesting tool is to use a RAID log. The RAID acronym stands for Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies. LFA, PCM and RBM users will know about risks and assumptions, but RAID identifies two other types of factors: issues (problems that raise during execution) and dependencies (from others or previous projects). These elements are not only four different types of influence; they also occur during different phases of a project.
Risks are events that may have a negative impact on the project. You can try to identify risks as much as possible during the design phase. Risks may or may not occur during the execution phase and it's therefore important to follow them up. A specific tool that is used in Results Based Management (RBM) for this purpose is the Risk Register.
Assumptions are the situations, events, conditions or decisions which are necessary for the success of the project, but which are largely or completely beyond the control of the project's management. Assumptions are identified during the design phase and at that moment you can think of ways to deal with them so your project can start up. If there are any critical assumptions, it's possible that you won't be able to start the project at all – unless you redesign it completely, or postpone it until the circumstances have changed.
Issues are problems that you have to deal with on the very moment they present themselves in order to ensure your project runs smoothly. Issues occur during the execution of the project. They are not things that may occur like risks, but actual problems that you encounter
Dependencies are things (output) that your project needs from another project or partner. It's also possible that another project depends on output of your project. Dependencies can have an influence during the design phase (because your project can't start without certain external outputs) or during the execution phase. They can also influence the course of future projects because they depend on the results of your project.
The RAID log helps you identify possible or actual risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies and plan what action you can take to deal with the situation should it occur. If there is an unexpected issue you can describe what you did to solve for future reference (learning). A RAID log can include the following pieces of information:
If you use Logframer for your project design and management, you will find the RAID log integrated in the Details pane of the fourth column. When you click on an item in the Risks and Assumptions column you can select whether this item is a risk, assumption or dependency in the Details pane on the bottom (if it's not visible press <Ctrl><D>).
Here you can register all the information you need to identify and manage risks, assumptions and dependencies. You won't find 'Issues' in the list because by definition issues can't be foreseen.
In the 'Reports' section of the File toolbar you can either print the risk register, assumptions list or dependencies list or export it to MS Word or Excel. The fact that you can export the Risk Register to Excel is particularly interesting, because it allows you to periodically re-assess your risks and update the list of risks as well as your assessment of the risk level and potential impact over the course of the project. This helps you maintain vigilance for potential risks and also to understand how the risk percentage increases or decreases over time. This will enable you in turn to be prepared and take appropriate action should such an event occur.
For more information about how to work with risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies in Logframer, see this section in the Logframer manual: Managing Risks, Assumptions and Dependencies.
If you haven't already, you can download Logframer 2.0 from the download page. Logframer is open source software, is completely free and comes with no string attached.
As you may have noticed, Logframer 2 offers a lot of possibilities and it may take a while before you know and understand them all (even if you are one of those rare people who actually reads a manual).
So after popular demand I've decided to post the projects I use for testing the software and writing the online/offline manuals on a new page (version française ici). You will find a new link in the Help pages as well as on the Download page to the Logframer examples page.
For the moment, most examples are in english, but in the future I will post more examples here. I'm also willing to post any example projects that you would be willing to share with other people, so feel free to contact me if you have a project to share.
A user reported a problem when you want to export the logical framework to an existing MS Word document
When you want to export the logframe and insert it at the end of an existing document, Logframer stops the process and gives an error message. Exporting the logframe to a specific bookmark does work however.
This problem was solved and I made a new build of Logframer 2.0 that I published on the download page of this site.
To remedy this problem, you have to re-install Logframer so the new build will replace the earlier version:
Many thanks to the person who was so kind to make me aware of this problem. If you encounter a similar problem, feel free to use the contact form on this site to report it. When you do report a bug, please give a detailed description of the circumstances in which it occured. This helps me enormously in finding and eliminating the problem. Good user feed-back is essential to improve Logframer and to iron out all the bugs.
Today a user made me aware of a problem in Logframer 2.0. When your logical framework has more than one purpose (or outcome, or specific objective) then you may run into troubles when you try to add or delete outputs or activities.
I was able to remedy this problem and I made a new build of Logframer 2.0 that I published on the download page of this site.
That's all there is to it. Thank you to the person who was so kind to warn me of this problem. If you encounter a similar problem, feel free to use the contact form on this site to report it. When you do report a bug, please give a detailed description of the circumstances in which it occured. This helps me enormously in finding and eliminating the problem. Good user feed-back is essential to keep improving Logframer and to iron out all the bugs.
Some people have reported that they were unable to download and install Logframer because they got a warning from Microsoft SmartScreen:
There is no reason to worry, this happens because SmartScreen checks of list of known applications. If an application has a bad reputation, it is blocked. The problem is that young, new applications - such as Logframer 2 - are not known yet by Microsoft and therefore haven't got any reputation (good or bad) yet. So by default they are blocked.
Luckily, it's relatively easy to install Logframer anyway. Here are a couple of articles that explain how you can install an application anyway:
You can also turn of SmartScreen if you want. It is not a virus scanner, it just checks for an application's reputation. So if you have a decent virus scanner installed (and you should have one) then you are perfectly save.
It is done. The last line of code is written. The last bug is ironed out (although inevitably there are some more to be discovered). The last icon is drawn. The last help page is written and translated. After two years of non-stop occasional intermittent stop-and-go programming, Logframer 2.0 is finally released!
And it certainly is a 'new' version. No stone has been left unturned: every line of code has been scrutinised and I guess about 90% has been rewritten or modified to some point. One main objective was to improve the overall performance and speed and you'll certainly notice that viewing and printing large logframes will be much smoother. But that's not all of course.
The biggest change that you will notice when you start up version 2.0 is that you can develop the logical framework of your project AND develop a project plan like you would in Microsoft Project AND develop your project's budget like you would in Microsoft Excel. All in one file, but at the same time all these major building blocks are linked to each other. Add some activities to the project plan? Then they will also be listed in the logframe and vice versa. Made up your budget? Then you can choose from the budget items and use them in the Resources/Budget columns of your logframe.
You will also notice the new ribbon tab toolbars at the top of the window. Their functionality changes depending on what you're working with: the logframe, the planning, the budget, the list of partners, text, etc.
Another main development was the improvement of anything related to project monitoring. For starters, you can now set multiple targets for your indicators (as well as a baseline) and develop a monitoring calendar. There are no less than 17 types of indicators to choose from and each indicator has many options. All in all, there shouldn't be a monitoring scenario for which Logframer doesn't offer a solution. But maybe the best thing is that once you've selected all the necessary indicators to measure the impact, effects, outputs and progress of your project, you can create a monitoring instrument in MS Excel by the touch of a button. Indicators can now have sub-indicators. And sub-sub-indicators and sub-sub-sub-indicators and so on.
Risk management has improved as well: in the fourth column you can now select between Risks, Assumptions and Dependencies. In the monitoring calendar you can indicate when you need to follow-up risks and at the touch of a button Logframer will generate a Risk Register in MS Excel that you can use during your project.
The earlier versions of Logframer had a planning window, but it was not interactive. Instead it was more of a static overview of the information you added for each activity. In version 2.0, you get an interactive Gantt chart to design the key moments, processes and activities. With the introduction of processes, you can have activities with sub-activities with sub-sub-activities and so on. The gantt chart has drag-and-drop functionality, which means that you can move activities, make their duration longer, increase the time needed for preparation and follow-up (only available in Logframer people!) and link them to one another.
The budget is a brand new addition. You can simply add budget headers and budget items. Totals are calculated automatically for each header. You can work with different currencies and manage exchange rates in a central location. You can even create multi-year budgets and automatically calculate total expenses on the front page. Also included are budget templates to get you started. Automatically calculate administration (indirect) costs as a percentage of your direct costs, etc. Logframer can handle it.
There's a host of other things to be discovered, but I don't want to repeat everything that you can find in the help pages. So instead, rush over to the download page and install the newest Logframer (still for free and no-strings-attached) on your computer or laptop!
It's been quiet around here lately, but don't let that fool you. During the last months I've been very busy with the brand new Logframer 2.0. As I've announced previously, this version is a major upgrade to Logframer 1.x, with all new features as well as a major overhaul to improve performance.
But enough chit-chat, how about some screenshots?
Tadaaaah! How about a round of applause folks?
You'll immediately notice the familiar logical framework in the centre. Although at first glance it looks much the same, it has some nifty new features. And now it is lightning fast too, thanks to a completely new rendering engine.
Near the top you can see that Logframer now has a MS Office-style ribbon. The content of the ribbon changes according to what you are doing, as you would expect from a ribbon.
With the lay-out tab you can control what elements are visible in your logframe. You can show or hide columns, as usual, but now you can also show/hide the different sections of the logframe. There is a new button to show the whole logframe at once, or hide everything but the purpose(s).
This is the Items ribbon tab. On the left you can see the various copy/paste options. The cut-copy-paste mechanism has been greatly improved, making it amongst other things easier to copy text from other applications, or copy/paste groups of items and so on. Next to the Add and Insert buttons, you can see the Insert Parent and Insert Child buttons...
... because now you can add child-activities and child-indicators. You can add as many levels as you like (I tried up to 12 sub-levels in practice).
Talking about the indicators, these have had a major revision too. Not only can you create compound indicators using the sub-indicators; the way that you can add up the values or scores of the indicators has had a major update. For instance, you can use the values that are registered directly, or replace a certain value range with a score.
Below you can see how the total value of a main indicator is calculated based on the values of its sub-indicators. This is just an example of the 'values' type of indicator, but in total there are sixteen different types of indicators, all of which can use sub-indicators.
Another new feature that you may have remarked in the image above is that it is now possible to identify multiple targets (instead of just a single target in the current version of Logframer). For each section in the logframe (goals, purposes, outputs and activities) you can determine at which intervals indicators have to be monitored:
For instance, you can specify that impact (goals) and effect (purpose) indicators anly have to be monitored at the end of the programme, while the output indicators have to be measured yearly. Also, for every indicator you can measure a baseline.
Jumping to the last column, the Risks detail window will look familiar to you. However, I now integrated the RAID-typology, which stands for 'Risks - Assumptions - Issues - Dependencies'.
So when you select Assumptions you can complete the following information:
And this is the Dependencies window:
For each type of RAID element you can identify how you will deal with it (over time) and how it may influence your programme.
In Logframer 1.x, you would get a single overview of the logical framework with the details section in the bottom and a pop-up window showing the project's planning. In version 2.0 you can use different tab pages to see the various main elements of your programme. The logical framework has its page of course, and via the details window you can still see different information about your project. But the first page you'll see when you open the application is the Project overview, withe the project's title, its duration and other info. Below it you can immediately see who will benefit from the project, in the overview of the target groups. Other tabs allow you to register partners, donors, etc. On this page you also find the monitoring options that we saw above (when - intermediary - targets have to be reached and monitored).
The Planning window also had a major overhaul. In version 1.3, the Planning pop-up window just gave a static overview of the key-moments and activities that you identified using the logframe and the detail window. In version 2.0, the planning is now fully interactive, up to the point that you can design a project just like you would in Microsoft Project, using Gantt charts rather than the logical framework. I'll show you how it works in a follow-up post.
Also new in this version is the inclusion of the project's budget:
You have the choice between working with a single page budget for the whole of your project, and establishing a multi-year budget. In that last case, you create the main budget headings on the overview page, and then you can specify year by year what specific costs (budget items) you want to include.
For each budget item you can calculate its cost based on how many times you will need it (in terms of duration), how many items you need and how much a single item costs (optionally in local currency). At the left you can see the totals in local currency (should you need this) and in the currency of the budget.
The totals for each budget heading are then summed up on the 'Total budget' page:
Back in the logframe, once you've established your project's budget you can use it to indicate for every activity how many resources you will need:
You make (indicative) totals by selecting budget items and then you can specify what percentage of that cost will be needed for the activity in question.
So far the development of version 2.0 has progressed quite well - I've even been working on elements for later versions. But on the other hand there's still quite a bit to do before I can release version 2. Amongst other things, I have to update the printing and import/export modules to use the new rendering engine and accomodate for the new features such as the child activities/indicators and the new budget. The Undo/Redo module also needs an upgrade and then there's all the work of translating the interface and creating or updating the help files as well as the website. At the moment I'm aiming for April or May next year to release Logframer 2.0.
At the moment, I'm frantically working on version 2.0 of Logframer, which will be utterly fantastic once it's finished. Some day. In the far future.
Anyway, just to say that the release of the newest version is not for toworrow because I'm giving Logframer a really thorough make-over. But that doesn't mean that the current version 1.3 is left to its own devices. I was made aware by a couple of users of some bugs in the system, most notably when you try to set the start date of an activity or key moment.
Apart from removing these bugs I incorporated some elements under the hood from the future version 2.0. Nothing drastic you know, just to make sure you can plan activities the way you want to. So that is why I have published a second build of version 1.3, which you can now download from the page with the same name.
Don't expect any new functionalities, this is just maintenance. You'll have to wait for Logframer 2.0 for any real changes. But I'll give some clues about the new version in a follow-up post.

Plastic surgery happens often these days. Prior to getting surgery, you need to research which type you want to get and make sure that all of the questions that you have are answered. In this article, you will learn what you need to know about cosmetic surgery.
Don't let anyone except a doctor give you botox. Some people get this type of procedure done at beauty salons. Although it can be much cheaper, it is not worth the savings if it puts your appearance and health on the line.
Always put yourself first when dealing with cosmetic surgery. Never have cosmetic surgery because someone asks you to have it done. Having even a minor cosmetic procedure done is a significant step. Do not go ahead with a procedure unless you are confident that you will be pleased with the results.
If the procedure you are considering will only make subtle changes to your appearance and you'd rather keep it a secret, it may be best to have the surgery done out-of-town. Schedule some vacation time out of town, and have your procedure done there. Someone who hasn't seen you in a while may not notice minor changes to your look. Tthey may not even realize the surgical changes you have made.
It is very important that you understand every aspect of the recovery period for cosmetic surgery. The doctor's directions should be listened to carefully as it can impact your results. This is true when you are in your first two weeks post-op.
Before deciding on a surgeon, find out if they warranty their services. Surgeons have made mistakes during surgeries plenty of times, resulting in costly corrective surgery. Look for surgeons who provide free corrective procedures for a period of time after the initial surgery.
Before you decide to have cosmetic surgery, decide if you can change the thing you are not happy with. Cosmetic procedures normally aren't dangerous, but there can be complications. Many things that might be wrong, like obesity, can be changed in different ways.
Find out if you have to do anything to change your appearance before you have your procedure. Make sure that you get information on what haircut is optimal for your procedure.
Though the cost is important when considering an overseas procedure, look for comparable surgeons and costs close to home. In case of complications, you can easily return to the same doctor for help if they are located close to where you live.
Be sure to find out how long recovery will take and what kind of care is needed following the procedure. You might find yourself needing substantial time off prior to resuming your normal work schedule and lifestyle following a procedure. It's vitally important that you get enough time to heal, so you should have a good idea of just how long your recuperation will take.
Research the place where your cosmetic surgery will take place. Check into their license and inspection history. Even small things such as the offices of the physician must be inspected and registered. Does the facility meet state requirements? Make certain that the center you choose has a good reputation.
Prior to undergoing surgery, you need to have an open discussion with your doctor. Be open, and ask any question that you might have. It is important that you have all of the information you need. That will help cut your stress and make your entire experience a happier one.
Many or all of your questions about cosmetic surgery should be answered after reading this article. As previously stated, you should obtain all the information you need before deciding to have plastic surgery. Now that you're more knowledgeable about the subject, it may be your decision to go ahead and create a new you.

Mahaska County Y Dolphins Make a Splash in Season Opener
Oskaloosa, December 4, 2012 – The Mahaska County YMCA Dolphins Swim Team began its home season schedule in grand fashion on Saturday, December 1, hosting YMCA teams from Centerville, Creston, Marion, and Ottumwa. Boasting one of the larger participant numbers in recent memory, the meet had 234 swimmers among the five participating teams. With an 11am start time, the meet continued on throughout the day and into the early evening, until all the swimmers crossed their respective finish lines in the 106 events.
This year's Mahaska County YMCA Dolphins squad consists of 77 swimmers, a large majority of them returning as veterans with a number of seasons under their belts. For a section of the team, this home meet on December 1 was the first competitive action of the year. Coach Janet Reese commented, "I and the rest of the Dolphins coaching staff are excited to see just how far this year's swimmers can progress throughout the season. If this first home meet is any indication, there are great things to come for this year's Dolphins."
For those not wanting to miss out on all the swimming action, the final two home meets hosted by the Mahaska County YMCA will be December 15 and January 12. These dates will see a wide variety of participants from all across the state, with the Mahaska County YMCA playing host to the Riverfront YMCA (Des Moines) on December 15, and swim teams from the Marshalltown and Newton YMCAs on January 12. Executive Director Dawn Collins said, "The Dolphins Swim Team is an exciting opportunity for the youth of Mahaska County to stay fit and healthy, and hosting home meets here in Oskaloosa benefits the community and the YMCA."
For more details on the Mahaska County YMCA or the Dolphins Swim Team, stop by the Mahaska County YMCA, at 414 North Third Street in Oskaloosa or please contact Ryan Harkema at 641.673.8411 or email@example.com. Information about the YMCA can also be found at www.MahaskaYMCA.org.

WASHINGTON (EWTN News/CNA)—The recent announcement that Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha has been approved for sainthood is generating great excitement among the Native American community.
"There's an awful lot of interest," said Msgr. Paul Lenz, the vice postulator of Blessed Kateri's cause for sainthood.
Msgr. Lenz told EWTN News on Jan. 19 that he has seen an "unbelievable response" to the news of the canonization, with reactions pouring in from all over the United States and Canada.
Msgr. Lenz, who previously worked in the Black and Indian Mission Office in Washington, D.C., said that Native Americans are extremely excited about having a saint come from within their own community.
Although the date for the canonization has not yet been announced, he said that multiple groups are already organizing pilgrimages to Rome to be present when the first Native American is officially elevated to sainthood.
When the date for the canonization is made public, Msgr. Lenz believes it will attract lots of attention in both the religious and secular media.
Known as the "Lily of the Mohawks," Blessed Kateri was born in upstate New York in 1656. Her father was a Mohawk chief, and her mother was an Algonquin who was raised Catholic.
She was orphaned at age 4 by a smallpox epidemic that left her with poor eyesight and a badly scarred face.
After encountering several Jesuit priests, she was baptized, despite objections from her family.
Her conversion caused her tribe to disown her, so Kateri fled to Canada, where she lived as an outcast, devoted to prayer and the Blessed Sacrament.
She died at age 24. After her death, witnesses said that the scars on her face disappeared, leaving her skin radiantly beautiful.
In 1980, she became the first Native American to be beatified.
On Dec. 19, Pope Benedict XVI formally recognized a miracle attributed to her intercession, clearing the way for her canonization.
The miracle involved a young boy in Seattle who was unexplicably cured from a flesh-eating bacteria that had disfigured his face and left him near death.
Msgr. Lenz said that the boy, who is of Native American descent, looked "worse than a leper."
However, he completely recovered after his family prayed and asked Blessed Kateri to intercede with God for him.
Msgr. Lenz explained that Catholic Native Americans have a strong faith and devotion to Kateri, whom they are familiar with from the Jesuit writings that have been handed down since the time of her death.
In his 35 years of working with Native Americans, Msgr. Lenz has found that they are almost "always a friend" of Kateri: "They're very proud" of her.
I love Blessed Kateri too. She helped me in college when I was around her age. College seemed like a place hostile to the faith but she was with me and I could see environs hostile to the Christ didn't hinder faith. Really it was all the back drop for a great adventure. That is how her life reads.
Studying her life also helped me to not fall into the "noble savage" trap. Things in her native culture before it knew Christ were such that women were treated like servants of men.
Finally she lead me to study Catholic Missionary work and I found that the Catholic missionary was not opposed to the diversity of cultures in the world. They were. The learned and made written form of the language of the people they visited.
The English Church and the Catholic Church seem to be conflated in many people's minds when it comes to missionary activity.
In Christ,
Fr. St. Martin

Yogesh Sukal11/06/2017"Quoteful Shots" with Yogesh Sukal : A day at the museum and surprises.Dear reader, these are my few thoughts inspired with the photoshots captured at various places I recently explored.Continuation from the following blog series of "Quoteful Shots" with Yogesh Sukal, -Buzz 2, -Buzz 3, -Buzz4, -Buzzz5 ...
Comments12/06/2017 #13 Vincent AndrewLoved the way you described the surprises Yogesh. Sometimes we get the most surprises when we expect nothing. Another thing that comes to mind is that museums can be a fascinating place. The best I've seen so far is the University of Manchester Museum but I'm sure there must be more out there. Thanks for sharing your experience.12/06/2017 #12 Franci🐝Eugenia Hoffman, Brand Ambassador @ beBeeThis is outstanding, @Yogesh Sukal. I enjoy how you combine your quotes, images, and videos. This is a masterpiece of creativity.12/06/2017 #11 David B. GrinbergWow, Yogesh, I love this mega-buzz of "Quoteful Shots" -- very nice indeed. One of your poetic phrases is also a great reminder about getting off the so-called "hamster wheel" and out of our "comfort zones" to learn what lies ahead on the other side of fear.
"To walk into the darkness I was quite scared, But the light on other side was promising so I dared." -- Yogesh
Also, wonderful photos and cultural exhibition of Japanese art. Keep buzzing, my friend!

The big stand out learning was finding out about Tokyo as its prior identity under the Edo Dynasty. History changes depends on who tells it, and what the focus of the historian is, so I have seen different viewpoints emerge regarding the role of Samurai in Japanese history. This is the most detailed of the buzzes you have written that I have read and this one had many surprises and was highly enjoyable as a sharing of exploration.12/06/2017 #6 Dominique 🐝 PetersenThanks for the tour! ;o)11/06/2017 #5 Ali 🐝 Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBeeGreat shots in a gerat buzz @Yogesh Sukal- the images are fantastic, the video are splendid and the wisdom is colorful with your nice quotes.

Comments29/08/2016 #5 Randy KehoMy deepest apologies, #4 My ignorance was not intended to be insulting. My Ukrainian friend, however, served in the Russian military.29/08/2016 #4 Anonymous#1 Thanks for reading and sharing it @Randy Keho. Yes, It was made specifically for those who can't visit it in person :) And I will have to ask you. Don't use "The" Ukraine, it's simply 'Ukraine' and not 'The Ukraine'. Anyone who talks like this just makes me cringe, not because it's ungrammatical, but because it's rude. 'The Ukraine' was a phrasal noun that Russians referred to as Ukraine during the Soviet Union. Ukraine just celebrated 25 years of independence on August 24th. If you don't understand what I mean, try to imagine me saying in "The America" would you like it? ;-) That's why I encourage you to read this article http://time.com/12597/the-ukraine-or-ukraine/ and share it, because it's very common mistake among English speakers, which pisses me off to the point I am not just stop talking to them, but I block them as soon as I see that mistake.29/08/2016 #1 Randy KehoI always find military museums to be extremely educational. If I'm traveling somewhere, I'll look ahead to see if there are any along my route or in the vicinity of my destination. I reside in the Great Midwest (United States) and I don't foresee any trips to the Ukraine in my future. So, I gladly accepted the invitation to view it in 3D from my office. We rarely get a glimpse into the world of our former Cold War adversaries. As a fleet manager, I worked closely with a contracted truck mechanic who was born, raised, and served in the military in the Ukraine before immigrating to the United States. I'll bet he'd be interested in checking this out, as well. I've shared this in the Museum Hive.

To all ecomuseums and community museums in all countries in the world, and to all professionals who want to know more about ecomuseology
You have been already invited by Italian ecomuseums to an International Forum, to be held in Milan, on July 6-8 2016, during the ICOM General Conference.
Then you have been invited to a Call for Papers to be presented at the plenary session of the Forum on July 7, at the Politecnico di Milano. The abstracts are being received until April 15 and will be reviewed by a Jury of experts. .
Now begins the third phase of the project of Italian ecomuseums : nine ecomuseums have already expressed their wish to invite you to visit them "at home", during the days before and after the ICOM Conference. More could join them soon. Among them two guided regional tours offer to present the diversity of heritage and ecomuseums of their respective regions.
Go to , look at the list of visits and select the sites you want to visit. Then prepare your travel programme, through direct communication with the contacts named for each ecomuseum or guided tour. And make this opportunity known to your colleagues, friends and professional networks: we cannot know and contact all of them.
This is a unique chance to get acquainted with the world of Italian ecomuseums, but also to enlarge and share your practice and your conception of ecomuseology and community museology.ICOM visite « Ecomusei.euwww.ecomusei.eu

Personal/Carer's Leave and Annual Leave: Little Mistakes = Big Trouble!
Posted by: on 1 March 2016 in Compliance, Finance
The Workforce Guardian from ADP webinar series is back for another year, and this time around we're kicking off with an in-depth look at your personal/carer's leave and annual leave entitlements and obligations.
Too many employers – especially those running small and medium-sized businesses – make relatively minor mistakes that lead to some major problems.
Take 'cashing-out' of annual leave for example. Does the current law allow you to cash-out any portion of an employee's accrued annual leave? Most employers assume it does, subject to certain rules. However, the first thing which must be considered is whether or not the employee in question is covered by a 'Modern Award'.
If they are, annual leave can only be cashed-out if the Award expressly allows this occur. If it doesn't, cashing-out annual leave will amount to a breach of the Fair Work Act 2009 and penalties can be imposed. This remains the case even if the employee requested the cashing-out and/or agreed to it in writing.
The above scenario is just one example of the 'minor' mistakes employers make which can result in maximum penalties of up to $54,000.
In our upcoming webinar on 7 March, we'll look more closely at both annual leave and personal/carer's leave and explore:
- How these forms of leave accrue
- When and how entitlements can be 'cashed-out'
- Who is eligible to access these entitlements
- The implications of providing leave in advance of accrual, and
- The tax implications associated with leave
At the end if this webinar you'll have a clear understanding of your employer-related obligations when it comes to these common forms of leave. To register, simply click here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3914309046428048386
We hope you can join us!
Kindest regards,

Re: 2-D mesh in ansys
No, it is not possible. CFX only handles 3D meshes. If you like to do a 2D simulation, you have give your mesh a thickness of 1 element. Then you can set the boundary conditions at both planes to symmetry.
Re: 2-D mesh in ansys
1.Make 2D geometry and Mesh it. 2.Extrude it by one element. 3.Define as symmetry on both side.

A SHOP worker launched a campaign of abuse against his boss after he was sacked for appearing drunk at work.
Rajesh Patel, aged 44, was arrested after he was caught lighting paper against his former boss's car.
Bolton Crown Court heard that Patel had repeatedly targeted Parbat Pindoria after he lost his job because he had turned up at work appearing to be drunk.
Patel, of Rishton Lane, Great Lever, went to Mr Pindoria's home in Great Lever and poured methylated spirits on the car bonnet but did not light the fluid.
He returned on October 3 and moved a wheelie bin, which woke his victim.
Patel returned the next evening and set light to paper, which he put near the petrol tank of Mr Pindoria's car.
He left but returned to try to confront his former employer - at which point, Mr Pindoria's neighbour came out of the house and hit Patel, the court heard yesterday.
Police found Patel nursing a bloody nose and he was remanded in custody.
Patel, who admitted harassment against Mr Pindoria, was sentenced to a community order with six months supervision, an alcohol treatment requirement and was ordered to comply with a curfew to remain at his home between 8pm and 6am for four months.
A restraining order, banning Patel from contacting the victim or going to his address for two years, was also made.
