A case against spanking
Macleans by Tracie O. Afifi 30 December 2015
Does conceiving, giving birth to or raising a child give you the right to hit another human being? Under Canada's current laws it does. However, among the 94 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which the Liberal government has committed to follow, is a repeal of the "spanking law." Currently, this law allows parents and caregivers in Canada to use force to discipline a child.
Femicide is predictable and preventable but we need to name the problem
Feministcurrent.com by Elizabeth Sheehy 30 December 2015
"They both went over the railing," CTV reported on December 20th, describing the deaths of Robert Giblin, 43, and Precious Charbonneau, 33, days before Christmas.
No they didn't.
A new code for kids in short pants
The Globe and Mail by Anna Esselment 14 December 2015
Ottawa will soon be flooded with eager political staffers ready to serve the new Liberal government. They are tapped through a variety of sources: national and local campaigns, provincial Liberal governments, academia and the government-relations world. More than 20,000 résumés were uploaded to the Liberal Party website in the scramble for positions.
The Paris homestretch: Optimism at the COP21 indaba
iPolitics.ca by Velma McColl 10 December 2015
On Thursday night in Paris, countries were still choosing distance over speed, carefully drawing together the elements of a balanced global climate agreement.
Here's how municipalities can reach their sustainability goals
National Newswatch by Amelia Clarke and Stephanie Cairns 4 December 2015
On December 4, over a thousand mayors from around the world will meet in Paris to accelerate the work of local governments on climate change. Many Ontario mayors attending this event will arrive with a starting advantage: more than 150 local governments in the province already have Sustainable Community Plans (SCP)— plans to achieve environmental, social, and economic goals, developed in collaboration with businesses, NGOs and others. Many of these goals support action on climate change.
Waterloo Region can join the battle against climate change
The Waterloo Record by Jennifer Lynes and Mary Jane Patterson 4 December 2015
On Sunday, uptown Waterloo pulsed with energy as a diverse range of people gathered for the Global Climate March, one of many marches around the world leading up to COP21 in Paris. A desire for bold action to care for our shared planet was a common thread through the dancing, placards and speeches.
Women of Distinction — I see you
The Hamilton Spectator by Joanna Wilson 24 November 2015
I never expected a standing ovation. Especially considering that my message was "I see you." But when I won a YWCA Hamilton Women of Distinction Award for my contributions to Science and Technology last April, that is exactly what happened.
Affordable housing hurdle will be huge for asylum-seekers
The Chronicle Herald by Katherine Reed 20 November 2015
Intense planning and discussion is taking place, aimed at moving thousands of refugees to Canada. Questions around finding affordable housing for them have come up repeatedly in the public discourse.
Female leaders, MPs changing political conversation for better
The Hill Times by Nancy Peckford 19 November 2015
Maria Fitzpatrick, a first term NDP MLA, rose in the Alberta legislature this past week to support a Private Member's Bill on violence against women. As a private members' bill, the proposed measure might have seemed modest to some — to enable women fleeing spousal violence to break a lease without financial penalty.
Myths and stereotypes: Some judges still don't get it
The Globe and Mail by Elaine Craig and Alice Woolley 9 November 2015
Those who doubt that discriminatory stereotypes and myths about sexual violence continue to inform some sexual-assault trials should read a recent Alberta Court of Appeal decision that overturned the acquittal of a man accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman. Last month, the appeal court sent the case back for a new trial because the trial judge did not understand the law of consent and had relied on "stereotypical myths" in finding the accused not guilty.
Talk openly about suicide
Winnipeg Free Press Michelle Faubert 30 October 2015
Last week, it was reported Nunavut Premier Peter Taptuna declared suicide in the territory a crisis, an announcement that resulted from a coroner's inquest into suicide in the territory in September.
Prime minister statues have no place on our campus
The Toronto Star by Kim Anderson 29 October 2015
Ah, Halloween — that time of year when ghosts come out and white folks dress up as Indians. So this year, some of us Indians decided to join in and dress up as Indians too.
An audacious plan for 24 Sussex Drive
Sierra Club Canada by Diane Beckett 27 October 2015
Amid all the urgent priorities on Prime Minister-Designate Justin Trudeau's to-do list, an improbable item caught my eye last week.
What the Liberal party victory could mean for your pension plan
The Globe and Mail by Tammy Schirle 24 October 2015
Are you a widow? Divorced? Born after 1958? Expecting to retire some day? After the first 100 days under the incoming new government, you can expect important changes to your public pension. While the Liberals will focus on tax changes and climate change for the first 100 days, there are big plans on the table for the core of Canada's public pensions.
When it comes to gender parity in Parliament, better is always possible
The Globe and Mail by Nancy Peckford and Grace Lore 20 October 2015
It was an election premised on change. Canadians saying they wanted it. Countless organizations telling us we needed it. The parties offering their versions of it. And, boy, did change come. After nearly 10 years of Conservative rule, we have a new Liberal majority government. Some new ideas on the table. And an opportunity to revisit some of the values that many Canadians believed were in peril before this election.
I want my Canada back
The Telegram by Carolyn Emerson 17 October 2015
I am a white, Canadian-born, 68-year-old middle-class woman. It seems I am the ideal focus for the three major parties in this federal election. But I don't want you making promises that would benefit me at the expense of others.
My children and I are caught in a useless bureaucratic nightmare
The Globe and Mail by Louise Arbour 15 October 2015
When he retires from his post, the Governor-General of Canada will have his bank accounts subjected to heightened scrutiny. So will his parents, his spouse and his children, for the next 20 years. So, too, will the Chief Justice of Canada, all Supreme Court and appellate court judges, ambassadors, counsellors, deputy ministers, generals, past and present, and all their family members. They should expect calls from their bankers asking questions about the sources of deposits and other transactions. And if one of their children happens to have a joint account with a third party, all that would have to be explained to the bankers who are required by law to exercise such vigilance.
A vision for a better Canada requires cooperation
Huffington Post by Brenda Spotton Visano and Marva Burnett 15 October 2015
What is our vision for a better Canada? Do we even have one? As the leaders of our major political parties enter these last few days of the race to become prime minister, wouldn't it be wonderful if we were inspired by a vision offered by one of them? We could vote for the leader who captures our imagination of a Canada in which we can see our collective selves thriving now and in the future. But a vision for Canada is missing from the national debates. And in the absence of one, many Canadians are looking to see "what's in it for me?"
A look back at 3 early campaign promises you may have forgotten
CTV Canada AM 14 October 2015

Is the choice to wear the niqab really a women's issue?
Huffington Post by Sarah Neville 11 October 2015
Ladies: are you wondering what to wear? Fear not, Canadian politicians have got your back. A national dress code is on the way. No details yet, but rest assured, you'll be free to wear your crop top, thong underwear and six-inch heels. Just don't cover your face.
Tories' tip line: playing on fears
Winnipeg Free Press by Karen Busby 6 October 2015
Following 9/11, Islam transitioned from obscurity to notoriety in the Canadian psyche. Muslim women came to be perceived as subjugated women needing protection by the Canadian state.
The unintended consequences of Canada's "Equal Rights Amendment"
CBC Radio 4 October 2015
Kerri Froc on CBC radio's "The 180" being interviewed about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Let's focus on the real barbaric practices
The Toronto Star by Kara Santokie 6 October 2015
In whom can we place our trust? The government? Other political parties? Certainly not each other, apparently. Keep an eye on your neighbour, we're being urged during this election campaign; report them if something seems awry. Not scared enough yet? ISIS is coming! And on top of that, there just might be a homegrown plot brewing in your local Tim Hortons, so call it out. Take that with your double-double, you terrorist. This is Canada, and we don't tolerate that sort of thing.
Conservatives vow to establish 'barbaric cultural practices' tip line
The Globe and Mail 2 October 2015
Natasha Bakht, a law professor at the University of Ottawa comments on Harper's new "tipline" and how it is targeting Muslin communities.
The five stages of street harassment
The Match International by Julie Ma 2 October 2015
Shock. Fear. Embarrassment. Frustration. Anger.
When someone loses a person they love, people talk about the five stages of grief that a person goes through. But there are other stages for other experiences and for me, I go through five stages when something happens to me almost every single day. And that's sexual violence on the streets.
A university degree isn't the only, or best, way to build your earning power
The Globe and Mail Report on Business by Nobina Robinson 29 September 2015
Over the past few years, gloom-and-doom news reports and commentaries have warned about the dangers of pursuing any sort of higher education other than earning a university degree, in terms of ultimate earning potential. The general argument is usually that a university degree leads to a high-paying, successful career and that other forms of postsecondary education or trades training don't pay off. Those ideas, however, rest on a shaky foundation that crumbles under the slightest scrutiny.
Volkswagen committed the cardinal sin of greenwashing: Lying
The Globe and Mail by Jennifer Lynes 24 September 2015
Are you one of millions of Volkswagen owners who just can't look your bug or Jetta in the headlights any more?
The company's use of a "defeat device" to skirt emissions testing has rocked both the business world and countless unwitting drivers. In just a few days, the reported number of cars affected by the company's deceptive emissions testing has widened to 11 million vehicles, from the initial estimate of about 500,000. While there have been numerous scandals over the years related to vehicle recalls, almost all of them have involved safety issues for the vehicle's occupants. In this case, the health impact of these diesel engines goes beyond vehicle passengers and owners, affecting the air everyone breathes.
Want to get out the youth vote? Start (really, really) young
The Globe and Mail by Anna Lennox Esselment 22 September 2015
Our daughter was about three months old when she attended her first campaign event. She could drop a pamphlet like a pro at five. Our son was two when he learned the art of clapping at the right times during a rousing speech at a political rally. Our children, in other words, aren't strangers to political campaigns.
Winnipeg: A Diverse City of Cultural Change
Metro News 16 September 2016
Lori Wilkinson, University of Manitoba sociology professor, offered context to Metro readers about the impact of diversity on Winnipeg.
Energy upgrades must aid renters who pay for power, too
The Chronicle Herald by Katherine Reed 9 September 2015
To be among the poor can be a pretty miserable position. Housing poverty and energy poverty are poverty's two main features. If you're a homeowner on a low income, things are pretty straightforward (though not perfect, by any means): the provincial government can help with grants for structural repairs and Efficiency Nova Scotia and Clean Nova Scotia provide the HomeWarming program that will improve the integrity and comfort of your home and bring down your heat and electricity costs.
Unpacking gender's role in political representation in Canada
Canadian Parliamentary Review, vol. 38 no. 2 by Brenda O'Neill, 2, 2015
The story of women's political representation in Canada has generally been told as one of progress. While substantial progress has been made, particularly in recent years, there have also been periods of stagnation.
More women in politics now
Ottawa Sun by Nancy Peckford 29 August 2015
Much ink was spilled this week on the refusal of certain federal party leaders to participate in a national debate on women's issues, namely Stephen Harper and Tom Mulcair. One hundred and seventy-five not-for-profit organizations had endorsed the idea, big and small. They argued that, without a focused debate on issues including violence, economic security and opportunities for female leadership, all women voters are being shortchanged.
Work-family balance isn't just an issue, it's a movement
Huffington Post by Eva Pomeroy 28 August 2015
In our effort to gain rights for individuals, one significant collective was left out of the equation: family.
Why businesses should be adapting to make work-life balance an option
The Globe and Mail by Eva Pomeroy 24 August 2015
My friend Beatrice is an accidental flex worker. Made redundant when her company decided to downsize, she was later asked to return when the economy picked up and the company needed her skills and experience. She did return – only this time, on her own terms: as a consultant, working part-time and flexibly. Now she enjoys a healthy balance between the work she loves and the time needed to care for her three young children.
Universities need a new model of governance
The Globe and Mail by Julie Cafley 19 August 2015
When former University of British Columbia president Martha Piper was asked in 2011 about the impact a university president has, her swift response, after nearly 10 years at the helm before her retirement in 2006 was, "not much." As Ms. Piper returns to the university as interim president after Arvind Gupta's hasty departure this month, would she say the same thing today?
Ontario today interview – "When did gender make a difference?"
CBC 18 August 2015

A letter to Flora MacDonald's hometown

Empowering way for women to fend of sex offenders
Windsor Star by Charlene Senn 8 July 2015
'Be wary of strange men, hold your keys between your fingers, and ask a guy you know to escort you home or to your car."
If only these tips – aimed at and absorbed by millions of girls and women over the past few decades – actually helped prevent sexual violence.\
University research funding key to cutting Canada's carbon footprint
The Globe and Mail Report on Business by Elizabeth Cannon 7 July 2015
Government funding of university research is crucial to transforming Canada's energy sector and achieving the Group of Seven's new commitment to deeply cut emissions and decarbonize the global economy by 2100. With government support, scientists at research-intensive universities are advancing solutions for the sustainable development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources in ways that reduce emissions and mitigate other environmental impacts.

Don't mix up love and marriage
The Globe and Mail by C.S.I. Jenkins 2 July 2015
Last Friday, my social media exploded in rainbow hearts and bubbled over with messages that "love just won." #lovewins suddenly became a top trending hashtag on Twitter. Because love is love, right?
Making family and work…work
Montreal Gazette by Eva Pomeroy 29 June 2015
We're incredibly lucky to be parents in Quebec, right?
Generous parental leave and subsidized daycare have made me the envy of my friends elsewhere. With this kind of support in place, doesn't it follow that we should be less stressed than parents in other provinces?
More and more shoppers are online, so where are the retailers?
The Globe and Mail Report on Business by Andrea Stairs 24 June 2015
It's been a dramatic year for retailers in Canada with major closures, new entrants into the market and mergers and acquisitions. And while e-commerce is playing a bigger role, bricks-and-mortar stores remain central to the retail experience. As a result, investing in both offline and online experiences to deliver true omnichannel retail is more critical than ever.
Ottawa's financial literacy strategy is noble, but not enough
The Globe and Mail Report on Business by Brenda Spotton Visano 23 June 2015
If only it were enough. The federal government's national financial literacy strategy – "Count Me In, Canada" – is an ambitious plan with the noble intention of empowering Canadians to meet their financial goals head-on, and banks are offering millions of dollars in support.
Want to help women in science? Provide decent child care for starters
The Chronicle-Herald by Tamara Franz-Odendaal 19 June 2015
If I asked you to picture a scientist, what image comes to mind?
If you are like most Canadians, you will likely imagine someone in a white lab coat. Probably a man. Probably in his mid-50s with grey hair.
The future of leadership is a woman's business
The Globe and Mail by Tiziana Casciaro 26 May 2015
It's been a frustratingly slow journey for women in business leadership. Despite the advancement – even dominance – of women in an increasing variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees, and in the work force (including managerial occupations), women continue to be severely underrepresented in business leadership positions. The higher the leadership level, the fewer the women, whether it's in corporations, professional services firms or entrepreneurial ventures.
Tribunal to consider striking gender from documentation
University of Manitoba law professor Karen Busby provides insight on challenges of gender assignment on official documents.

Stay the course when it comes to public service pensions, Alberta
The Globe and Mail by Jana Steele 25 May 2015
Historically, governments have been reluctant to implement significant pension reforms, preferring instead to kick the pension can down the road. Because pensions have such a long life, it may have been perceived as more expedient to tackle other priorities and leave pension issues for future generations to deal with. More recently, however, we have seen Canadian jurisdictions begin to grapple with these changes.
Who's your special interest now? Federal parties ignore women voters at their peril
Rabble.ca by Kate McInturff 22 May 2015
The last time we had a federal election in Canada, women cast half a million more votes than men. And I can't help wondering why.
It's important to have a mandate, to make your dying wishes known
Montreal Gazette by Hilary Rose 21 May 2015
The other day I asked my 95-year-old father whether he had made any plans for the future. "Plans? For the future?"
"Yes," I said. "Plans. Like a living will, or a power of attorney (called a mandate in Quebec). That sort of thing."
What's love got to do with sex ed? Maybe everything
The Globe and Mail by C.S.I. Jenkins 15 May 2015
Ontario schools are introducing a new sex ed curriculum this September, one that covers topics such as sexting and consent as opposed to merely the mechanics of sex. Predictably, some parents are vocally outraged.
Pit bulls paid with their lives for heeding their owners
Montreal Gazette by Theresa Bianco 11 May 2015
As an advocate of responsible pet ownership, I was deeply disturbed by a recent report about a case involving a man whose pit bulls attacked a woman ("Dog owner convicted of assault over pit bull attack," Montreal Gazette, May 1).
Employers gain when they give employees the chance to balance work and family
Montreal Gazette by Eva Pomeroy 8 May 2015
There's a new line on my CV. It reads: Eight years experience at home taking care of my young children. Enough pretending that the work required to care for another human being doesn't count. It is one of our great collective blind spots and, as we celebrate Mother's Day Sunday, it's time to bring it into view.
We can all play a role in sexual education
Waterloo Record by Lyndsay Butcher 8 May 2015

Notley ran gutsy run-from-behind campaign anchored ideas
The Hill Times Online by Nancy Peckford 6 May 2015
The remarkable election victory led by NDP leader and now Premier-elect Rachel Notley is an accomplishment that most women in Canada are celebrating, quietly or otherwise, no matter where their party allegiances may lie.
We need more women on the TTC board
The Toronto Star by Kara Santokie 4 May 2015
Things just got a bit worse for women. In the wake of a new UN report lamenting women's lack of access to economic opportunity and the disproportionate burden of unpaid care work, Toronto's leadership decided to compound the problem in its small way. The civic appointment committee has recommended four new candidates for the Toronto Transit Commission board, all of whom are male. This would bring the board's total membership count to 10 men and one woman. Twenty years after the Beijing Declaration on the equal rights of women, how far have we really come?
A tragic tale of two Gladues
The Toronto Star by Elizabeth Sheehy and Isabel Grant 27 April 2015
Amid public outrage about the death of Cindy Gladue, a young Indigenous woman, and the failure of the criminal justice system to hold the john who apparently caused her death accountable, the Harper government has quietly taken steps to undo the progress achieved in the name of another Gladue woman.
The botched Uber + UN Collaboration
The Hill by Jess Tomlin 15 April 2015
Just two weeks after Uber and UN Women launched a partnership to create 1 million jobs for women, the partnership evaporated. Following an angry letter urging UN Women to "dump" Uber, UN Women has done just that. But to what end?
Who has the most fear from C-51? Canadian Muslims

Canada's social programs will suffer under balanced budget law
The Toronto Star by Kara Santokie 11 April 2015
With a federal election on the horizon, we're now getting a peak at some of the goodies upcoming in the budget. Higher TFSA limits? Income-splitting for families? The prospect of a balanced budget law? "Yes, please!" we may be tempted to say.
Five reasons to stop obsessing about balanced budget
Globe and Mail by Lisa Philipps 9 April 2015
As the 2015 government budget season rolls out across the country, what should Canadians really be watching for? So far the bottom line is hogging too much of the attention.

Could Cindy Gladue have consented to what killed her?
Winnipeg Free Press by Karen Busby 8 April 2015
Many have welcomed the decision of the attorney general of Alberta to appeal the acquittal of Bradley Barton for the death of a Cree woman, Cindy Gladue. In spite of 30 years of feminist advocacy to reform rape law and rape culture, convictions still are difficult to obtain in sexual-violence cases. Getting an acquittal overturned is even more difficult.

Vancouver needs a city-wide plan to manage growth
The Vancouver Sun by Penny Gurstein 6 March 2015
If you were the city of Vancouver and were repeatedly criticized for making planning decisions behind closed doors, how would you gain the trust of your citizens? Recently, the B.C. Supreme Court echoed those concerns and put the brakes on a development in Yaletown. Now the city plans to mount a lengthy and costly appeal. Instead, might you want to consider this setback as an opportunity to take a fresh approach?

Prejudice in the court
Winnipeg Free Press by Karen Busby 3 March 2015
What explains Quebec Judge Eliana Marengo's decision last week to refuse to hear Rania El-Alloul's case on the ground that the headscarf worn by this Muslim woman was not "suitable" attire in a courtroom? El-Alloul was trying to get her car back after her son was stopped driving it when his licence was suspended.
The hijab is perfectly suitable attire for the courtroom
The Toronto Star by Amna Qureshi 2 March 2015
Judge Eliana Marengo has made a serious error by telling a Muslim woman that she must take off her hijab in court before her case would be heard. Her justification — that the woman was not "suitably dressed" — is wrong-headed and a troubling slippery slope.

Don't take Black History out of context
Ottawa Citizen by Rakhi Ruparelia 18 February 2015
I hear Sister Sledge's We Are Family running through my head whenever I see evidence of Canada's self-congratulatory satisfaction in our professed racial harmony and multicultural success. The most recent trigger was the poster created by the government of Canada in honour of Black History Month. It features strong, dynamic, and inspirational athletes beneath the headline: "Proud of Our History."

Canada is making queer refugees "queue jumpers"
Blogging for Equality by Nicole LaViolette 11 February 2015
Much has been made of Immigration Minister Chris Alexander's recent announcement that Canada will take in 10,000 Syrian refugees in response to the United Nations' appeal to help resettle Syrian refugees worldwide. The cause is urgent: millions of Syrians who have fled the brutal civil war are languishing in countries that simply do not have the resources to care for them.
Include Huronia victims in redevelopment plans
The Toronto Star by Kate Rossiter 5 February 2015
How would you feel about buying a condo in a building that had previously been a residential school or internment camp? Would you feel differently knowing that the people harmed at the institution had been consulted in the redevelopment process?
Is it time to legalize commercial surrogacy in Canada?
Impact Ethics by Karen Busby 3 February 2015
A British Columbia couple (Greg and Elaine Smith) have learned, the hard way, that there are many perils to international surrogacy. After signing a comprehensive contract with a Mexican clinic, the Smiths thought they had covered all the bases. But when their twins were born prematurely and could not breathe on their own, the couple read the fine print. The clinic was not responsible for intensive care medical costs. British Columbia (like most provincial governments) does not pay for offshore care and so the couple faced crippling medical bills.

Recent polls show a need to stand up for multiculturalism
Montreal Gazette by Amira Elghawaby 28 December 2014
My dad recently retired from the federal public service after spending over three decades serving this country. His job was to make sure that Canadian-made airplanes were as safe as possible. He was celebrated for his dedicated service by his colleagues and staff upon his retirement. Accolades came in from international safety agencies and aerospace corporations from around the world.
Why has Canada still not signed the UN's Optional Protocol on Torture?
Huffington Post by Amira Elghawaby 19 December 2014
Canada, along with other democratic nations, is against mob rule. That's essentially what groups like ISIS and their ilk, of various faith denominations and political persuasions, represent. These groups have no time for the rule of law, human rights, or internationally recognized rules of engagement.
Judicial appointments show an indifference to diversity
Toronto Star by Rosemary Cairns Way 19 December 2014

Is it something that guys look for or do they just not care? Just wondering.
The hottest women I've found had either no tan or an all-over tan---no tan lines.
Have an opinion?
tanned girls can be pretty. but so can pale girls. tans don't do a thing for me. additionally, tanning = higher skin cancer risk and prematurely aged skin. a tan looks kewl at 21 years old, but looks like a weathered cowboy boot at 41 years old.
doesn't matter to me. I don't like the looks of fake tans and when someone tans too much though
In a range from 1-10, I'll give tanning a zero.
Tanning is unhealthy and unattractive.
Everything in life gives you cancer.
As long as you don't go to the tanning bed everyday, you should be fine.
I find that everyone looks better with a tan, with the rare case that someone looks better pasty white.
Just because your not tan, doesn't mean your pasty white.
natural is better than fake
and don't go tanning
studies show tanning has a direct correlation with skin cancer
not important...unless you like the spray on orange glow and getting laughed at by most of society. In truth...tanning is detrimental to your skin...so just be natural.
tans don't really matter to me. I mean, look at that chick from paramore, she's pretty pale but she's HOT.
Google "Melissa Midwest" a multi-multi millionaire.
wellll I have NO tan whatsoever- my nickname is chalky haha ssoo yeah
and guys never seem to mind, I get quite a lot of interest even with my paper white skin lol
i think the most attractive thing about a person is whther or not theyre comfortable and confident in their own skin, things like tans really don't seem to matter
and if it did then that guys obviously too picky! :) x
Sometimes if tanning is done right it looks nice, and can be saved for special occasions, but honestly think about it. In the long run wouldn't you prefer your partner pale and healthy rather than tan and wrinkly by the time they're forty? Not to mention the health risks for skin cancer. Many people think the risks are only minor, but basically UV rays are being applied directly to your body to give you that "tan" look. In my opinion its a stupid trend and I feel no remorse for girls who turn out looking "black" or "orange" due to bad tanning.

Mexican officials say 20 people died when a bus plunged off a bridge and fell into a deep gorge.
The head of the civil defense office in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz says the accident killed 20 of the 45 people on board. Yolanda Gutierrez said the bus was apparently carrying members of a soccer team when it skidded off a bridge on Sunday near the city of Cordoba in Atoyac, Veracruz state
The Veracruz state government said the bus was likely speeding, and the driver lost control when it went over a speed bump.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto expressed his condolences to the victims' families in his Twitter account. It was unclear if the driver survived.

Custom Reports/Full Transaction Data Extract
What I'd love to see is a simple way to export all of my transaction data. It should include every transaction recorded for event registrations, memberships, renewals, donations, refunds, etc. Then I can create my own custom reports with another program (Excel, Access) and all I would need to do is update my report data source with a new daily or weekly export from WA. Alternatively, the ability to custom design my own reports within Wild Apricot would be nice too. For example, using a drag-and-drop interface I could create my own pivot table reports like in Excel.
We have started development of the feature. At the moment we decided to focus on ivoices and payments exports and add
– More contact details
– Invoice origin details, e.g. Event name & Registration type for events and Level name for membership invoices
– Payment date to invoices
Some other minor changes.
We'll keep you updated on progress

Yes! It shouldn't be this difficult to reconcile with our accounting package.
Gail commented
We would like the following added to the invoice and payments records.
- the source ID (Event name as in list, Membership, Renewal etc)
- the member name that will show on the check or paypal
- the linked registrant name, if an event guest who might submit a separate check
- a payment ID # check / paypal
We will be going to a lot of extra excel work using Vlookup to merrge the event report, invoice and possibly payment reports. Far too much work when it can be done at generation of these records.
Hi, Gail
Thanks for sharing your workflow. We didn't plan to add tags to invoice exports, only full event and registration name. Maybe we will add them later or suggest an alternative solution to your problem.
Oleg, Product designer @ Payments team
Gail commented
Can you please let us know if Wild Apricot will be adding the event tag associated with the event invoice to the invoice and payments exports?
We categorize our events by tags and prepare reporting that shows event payments received, summarized by event tags on a monthly basis. Currently it is a very manually process to prepare this information and we are hoping it will be available as part of the export enhancements to the payment and invoice exports.
Hi, Julie
Sorry to hear that. We will provide full data export in our upcoming release in May. It will also include data for invoice origin.
I'm not sure it will help with printing membership cards — just need more informaton here. Good news here is that we are developing built-in self-service for printing membership cards. You can track progress here: https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932/suggestions/8825584
Thanks again,

Julie Miller commented
The lack of details from the financial exports is a huge problem for us. We need to have the ability to export the contacts/members full details along with their financial information for the membership period selected. We need this export to send out membership cards and "Thank You" letters after renewal. We have only been using the system for 6 months and we are ready to abandon ship if we can not get a report / export with this information.
Mark Miller commented
The lack of details from the financial exports is a huge problem for us and the two associations in our office that use WA. It is important for the associations to know the dollar amounts each month generated from specific events before it's imported into QuickBooks. Our staff is now spending hours sorting and categorizing the data from multiple reports in order to capture a simple monthly total by payment and event. The ability to query payments and transaction huge jump forward in the usability and practicality of the software for medium and larger organizations. thank you for your interest in resolving this, let us know if we can be of any assistance in the process.
Hi, Jon!
Thanks for comment. Financial categories/accounts is something we are also thinking of, but this is not in our immediate plans.
You can alsos check https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932/suggestions/8826169 — this is thread on extra-charges exporting and we're discussing several options there.
Thanks again,

Jon Carlson commented
Please add separate invoice categorization for "extra items" like member fields that i can add and allow a user to optionally purchase. Currently in your quickbooks export they share the same category as the basic membership. The separate SPL records for each component should be able to be assigned a different quickbooks "account" (i.e. category).
@Charles, thanks for sharing. This makes total sense.
Oleg, Product Designer @ Payments Team
Charles Pena commented
Thanks for the reply. My comments are related to improving the process of event registration exports. My request is mostly centered on building a specific export template for non-supper users to use rather than build their own export grouping each time. We have 3 specific spreadsheets that we export event data by participant;
1. Required airline passenger ticketing information. Format is set by the airline, but most are the same and we capture all the required information.
2. Financial Income transmittal's, by participants to send by spreadsheet to the Treasurer for recording. Very simple: name, amount & item description.
3. Roommate and condo lists, plus descriptions of none standard items purchased.
All of this information can currently be created into a spreadsheet through the export system but it requires a bit of work by me to choose fields to export and then to format the spreadsheet. After creating the process, need the ability to copy this template for later use by less experienced user. So in nutshell, want the ability to create custom exports and name these like you do with custom searches.
@Charles, thanks for your comment and sorry for late reply - I missed it initially.
Could you please elaborate your comment? What do you want to get from this report? Do you want to filter only event's financial data? Or do you want to improve event registrants export?
@Tabatha, thanks for sharing, appreciate this.
Oleg, Product Designer @ Payments Team
Tabatha commented
I would like to have the ability to export the contacts/members full details also. I use the financials export report to send out membership packets after renewal. As of right now I have to look up each transactions address after I download all the financials.
Charles Pena commented
It is unclear if this improvement is just meant for the overall financial report system or also for specific event financial reporting too. I know you often combine items. We don't use the overall financial reporting system but do extract data by event.
On the data by event financial reports we would like to select by item which items to export, not the whole data stream. Ideally we would like to assign the column order they displayed.
For easy of use, we need to be able to save that custom report export option, so everybody is do it the same and not having to recreate it every time they use it.
Mary Simpson commented
Definitely need reports by invoice type; i.e. for membership, for event, for guest lunch etc. Would be great if we could set up our own Invoice types (again membership, event, guest lunch), then report on those.
JohnP commented
I agree. Our club uses a cash accounting system and the existing WA reports do not help us a lot. The Income report looked good, but it shows the date of the invoice NOT the date of payment - which is what we need in a cash accounting system. The Payments report does list the transactions by payment date - but only by tender type NOT what the payment was for. The Payments & Refunds report LOOKS like it would be the answer, but when we download it to Excel it doesn't show what the payments were for. We need to know membership or event etc. and, if an event, which event - so we can work out how much profit (or not) that particular event made. Either include more detail in the downloaded spreadsheet or add a checkbox to the Income report to choose between accrual (invoice date) or cash (payment date). Or both!
Ian Beecher-Jones commented
Not sure where this topic is in the Roadmap, but a full extraction of financial transactions would be great.
The Export from the payments and refunds report is almost there, but it just lacks one vital piece of information - what the transaction is for. On the report on the screen it shows whether the payment was for an event or membership, but it doesn't appear in the xls file during export process - so near yet so far.
Please please can you add the extra column for the export routine - you have it in the report so hopefully it won't take much to do.
SCDF commented
I completely relate to your post. I spend hours and hours each month trying to reconcile and get the information we need to complete our monthly financials! It simply isn't available in WA.
SCDF commented
I complete agree! The information that is available does not include all the transaction details. We have the same problem in our accounting outside of Wild Apricot. We track each transaction by Name, Company, type (specific event or membership level) and amount. Currently, Wild Apricot only provides a report that says "Origin" but it does not provide the actual event or membership level paid for. This requires us to manually extract the information from the system.
We REALLY need this information for our accounting records and reporting. It takes hours to compile everything that could be solved in a report exported from Wild Apricot.
skipat commented
This request sounds a lot like something I've been trying to get, and no I don't think the export of all payments and invoices does it.
We evaluate the profitability of each of our events -- the export from Finances does not carry the specific event name. I would want to sort by event name.
We reconcile the financials for each event separately so that the Treasurer knows how much revenue is in checks and Paypal for that event, and to be sure member accounts are correct. WA Registration by Type gives us total Revenue for that event, but that doesn't tell us all we need to know.
Currently I export attendee data for each event separately, delete all but relevant financial info, sort it so the event manager can verify the correct amount they have in paper checks so I can be sure our member account balances are correct. Our event managers often settle a member credit for payment incorrectly, but actually record a new payment (using a tender type for member credits thinking that does it). There is no easy way to find these errors (which must be corrected since members get credits they are not supposed to have).
For event reconciliations, I then add back in any cancelation charges for late cancel fees for that event. Finally I add in Paypal fees for all the Online transactions for the event (something I would not expect WA reports to do), but need to sort the transactions/event by payment type to allocate the PP fees to that specific event. Without this information, we don't have complete data for pricing our events for next season.
It is very cumbersome and I spend a lot of time trying to verify member credits are correct, (and helping event managers over the phone settle credits to try to prevent these errors) since the audit trail is not clear for this, especially when a trip leader makes errors on settling credits which is a common occurrence.
We are probably going to dedicate a board member to act as "assistant treasurer" to focus specifically on the new WA billing issues next year to help with all this additional work.

my boyfriend recently said that this skanky looking girl in a bar was his 'fantasy girl', it p*ssed me off because guys who have decent gfs who love them still don't appreciate what they have and look at girls in short skirts and heels? I'm absolutely confused as to why I'm not his fantasy girl when I'm the one he's actually with.I know that if I dressed like a skank he wouldn't even let me leave the house so why is he looking at other girls dressed like that?. I'm not generalizing guys here, but if you were in this situation why would you say it? And how come I have stopped looking at other guys, and he still looks at other girls and makes comments like that? is it to make me jealous or something?
Most Helpful Girl
I understand where you coming from. I think that he probably didn't mean to upset you by saying this, or he wouldn't have said it.. unless he is a complete asshole. Maybe he wasn't even being serious when he said it. If you haven't talked to him about it yet, let him know that what he said upset you. And don't let people tell you that your a jealous person like it's a bad thing. I don't think their is anything wrong with not wanting your boyfriend to check out other girls when he's supposed to be comitted to you! I doubt he would like it too much if you started talking about how hot some guy at the bar was. Your just being protective of what's yours and nothing is wrong with that. A little jealousy is fine! And remember that their aren't very many guys that would pursue a serious relationship with some girl dressed like a skank that hangs out at bars. That's a one night stand kind of girl and if he wanted a girls like her he wouldn't be in a relationship with you. He knows that being with you is a good thing. That's why he doesn't want you to go out dressed like a two cent whore cause he wouldn't want men to look at you. He cares about you : ) Just talk to him about it, and let him know your thoughts on it.32|10|0
Awh this is a really good answer. gosh, why do guys suck sometimes. a monkey could have given her better answers than them hah

Dennis Vesely has acted as a consultant in Construction Engineering since 1984 to clients that include project, civil and mining contractors, owners, design consulting firms, and other organisations. Services provided include first principle estimates of major, smaller or complicated projects to the mining and civil sectors, both in underground and surface works. Other related services from input into design, contractual matters, planning and project startups were also provided.
Projects include very long tunnels, deep mine shafts, open cut mines, river diversions, concrete and earth/rock dams, highways, concrete structures, hydroelectric works, marine works, railways, treatment plants, asset evaluation and the like. Plant and equipment evaluation, selection and operating costs are derived for equipment such as fast hard ground tunnel boring machines with continuous conveyors, slower shielded EPBM, pipe jacking, roadheaders, drill jumbos, large earthmoving plant, cranes, marine units; together with attendant service and associated equipment.
Various assignments include work on projects in all Australian States and several countries in Asia, the Pacific and Africa. Much of the overseas work has been conceptual in nature requiring practical definition for later stages in investigation, design and tender documentation.
After graduation, he worked with major civil and mining contractors beginning with field work such as the last major Talbingo Dam in the Snowy Mountains Scheme, the St Lawrence Seaway Canal in Canada, railway tunnels in Melbourne and Sydney, bridges and other projects.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 574602
Upgrading to 1.3.1 results in JBossESB plug-in file name mismatches
Last modified: 2014-09-02 10:58:11 EDT
Description of problem:
If the JBossESB plug-in is installed (rhq-jbossesb-soa-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar) and you upgrade RHQ to 1.3.1 with the JBossESB plug-in for 1.3.1 (rhq-jbossesb-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar) you will receive an INFO message every five minutes stating the following:
INFO [org.rhq.enterprise.server.core.plugin.AgentPluginDeploymentScanner] Filesystem has a plugin [JBossESB] at the file [/local/jon-server-2.3.1.GA/jbossas/server/default/deploy/rhq.ear/rhq-downloads/rhq-plugins/rhq-jbossesb-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar] which is different than where the DB thinks it should be [/local/jon-server-2.3.1.GA/jbossas/server/default/deploy/rhq.ear/rhq-downloads/rhq-plugins/rhq-jbossesb-soa-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar]
This does not appear to impact the JBossESB plug-in other then the annoying messages.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
JBossESB plug-in for 1.3.1
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install JON 2.3 along with SOA-P plug-in pack
2. Install JON 2.3.1 using upgrade instructions to upgrade the 2.3 installation making sure to install the new JBossESB plug-in for 2.3.1
3. Start the server as normal
Actual results:
Every five minutes get a log message stating that the JBossESB plug-in file name according to the database is rhq-jbossesb-soa-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar and according to the file system is rhq-jbossesb-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar.
Expected results:
No strange log messages indicating that there is a plug-in problem.
Additional info:
This issue seems to be a direct result of the JBossESB plug-in file name changing since 1.3.0. The actual JBossESB plug-in contents did not change between these releases and therefore the version information in the file did not change. Because the version info didn't change, JON did not upgrade the plug-in in the DB because it supposedly hadn't changed. Even though this message is displayed in the log, it appears to have no negative affect on the plug-in and the Agent's who are using the plug-in. To workaround the issue:
1. Go to http://localhost:7080/admin/test/sql.jsp
2. Execute the following SQL:
UPDATE rhq_plugin SET path='rhq-jbossesb-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar' WHERE name='JBossESB' AND path='rhq-jbossesb-soa-plugin-SOA.4.3.0.GA_CP02.jar'
Related jira: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/SOA-2054
mazz - add whatever is necessary to plugin docs that needs to be done to prevent this
Closing as outdated.

Why does the NBPP hate white men but date white women?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
It originally "justifiable" because at the time the Black Panthers started, women were also disenfranchised to a degree. The "reasoning" was that the white man was holding white women down to. It's all BS in my opinion but that was the justification.00|00|0
What Girls Said 2
You can't help who you're attracted to. The ones who do might have rationalized it in some way to make it so that it is okay for them to date white women (for instance, they might think that white men are the cause of most of distress and hate in this world that they are simply "saving" white women from their "repulsive" counterparts").
It's kind of like how some white racist men would encourage black women to get impregnated by white men so that more near-white babies can be born to weed out the "darkness".00|00|0
That's what I want to know. I feel like they don't really care for black people, they just want to express their hatred for white men. That's how it is with A LOT of black men. They dislike white men, but love their creation.21|10|0

If you suffer from anxiety, familiarize yourself with some of the foods that make it worst and eliminate them from your diet.
1. Gluten
Gluten may spike levels of the stress hormone cortisol, causing various types of anxiety from social phobia to panic disorder.
2. Sugar
Refined sugars may not cause anxiety, but they may worsen symptoms. Research shows too much of the sweet stuff can cause jitteriness & an increased inability to cope with stress.
Related: 5 'Foods' That'll Help You Eat Away Anxiety
3. Caffeine
A cup of joe stimulates the central nervous system and increases cortisol levels. Research shows it can cause anxiety even in people who don't normally suffer from it.
4. Alcohol
Did you know you can build a tolerance to the de-stressing effects of booze. This can trigger more drinking, more anxiety and sleepless nights.
5. Acid-forming foods
Acidic foods like pickles, yogurt, eggs and meat can impact magnesium levels. A deficiency of this mineral has been linked to anxiety & other mental health issues.

Hey everyone,
Here is my blog post about the History of Mary and Francis from the beginning of the show to now.
Mary first met Francis when she arrived at the castle and was completely smitten when she first said hello, but Francis soon revealed that he wasn't particually interested in marrying her. She of course continued her interest in him. When Tomas first arrived and proposed to Mary, Francis proved that he did have feelings for her when he insisted that his father the King send soldiers to aid Scotland in battle against the British. When is failed (because of a traitor) an upset Francis gave Mary her first kiss and told her to marry Tomas as he would be able to help her. Well in the next episode Tomas proved to not be the dashing, kind person we all thought he was, when he created a whipping boy he slapped whenever Mary did something he didn't like. Francis showed his worry for Mary when he sat with her. They then started teasing each other until finally Francis and Mary shared a passionate kiss. When it was revealed that Tomas was the traitor and was then killed by Francis. Him and Mary rekindled their relaitionship. In the next episode Mary and Francis had a playful conversaition which ended with yet another kiss. He invited her to the harvest festival which would have been perfect...if Francis' ex-lover hadn't arrived...shaken and frightened after her servant and driver had been killed by pagens in the woods. Francis insisted on taking care of her. It was revealed that Francis and Olivia had been caught sleeping with each other, luckily Olivia was able to leave to go and wed the person she had been engaged to...until her secret was revealed and the wedding was called off. Mary at first tried to be friendly with her until Olivia to her she expected that in the end Francis would chose her since they had had a relationship filled with love and passion. When Francis tried to get her a new host family her secret was once again revealed which of course did not bother her since she didn't to leave in the first place and asked Francis if he would make her his mistress if he went on and wed Mary. When Mary learned of this and the fact that Francis refused to send her away she became quite upset. She then went and started talking to Bash, drinking until finally she asked him if she was boring him. When he told her he couldn't imagine why Francis would want Olivia she leaned in and kissed him, but then pulled back apologizing, Bash said she right, because he should have kissed her. Leading to them sharing a kiss. When she finally pulled away it was revealed that Francis had seen the whole thing. Broken hearted he soon left to spend time with Oliva. In Chosen Mary became the target of the pagens and Francis revealed he had seen Mary and Bash kiss. The episode ended with him deciding to go and sleep with Olivia. In Left Behind Mary once again showed her displeasure of Francis spending time with Olivia. He told he that to sane they needed to be apart and then said he didn't mean to hurt her feelings. The episode was probably the best for Frary feels, because the whole time when they were held captive Mary and Francis showed their love for one another. At the end Mary tells Francis that it was stupid of him to come and try to save her from captivity. He calmed her down when he said simply "Because I love you". Mary and Francis decided to make love. And I'm pretty sure that all Frary fans were jumping up and down screaming. In the episode Fated. Mary and Francis wake up together and throughout the episode they are excited when the king anounces that Mary and Francis will be wed, but when the queen finally tells Mary the sad truth that she will cause Francis' death the episode goes downhill. It ends with Mary and Bash leaving as he had to escape to, and Francis trying to chase after them. Finally falling down on his knees broken hearted. In For King and Country it was revealed that Bash and Mary had been gone for a week and Francis had been searching for them the whole time. When they finally were brought back to court. Mary came up with the plan for Bash to get legitamized, for her to marry him instead, so that Francis would be saved from the prophecy. In excange for the King to do this she promised him that she would claim the throne of England as he wanted. Finally Francis told Mary that because of this her could never forgive her and left the castle...gloating about his new freedom. In the previous two episodes he was mentioned several times by Mary, but bothersome enough, did not appear.
Thanks for Reading!

It felt weird not blogging. I mean, I had conversations with adults other than my husband, which is something of a lost art when I get into a writer's groove. I carried my laptop with me yet I resisted the urge to post on other blogs. The biggest thing I did not do, you ask? I didn't write a poem for Poetry Thursday, which is the first time I think I haven't posted anything since I became a regular participant.
Instead, my family and I went on day trips to beaches and lakes; watched a lot of Red Sox baseball; ate lots of extravagant, home-cooked meals; and topped off the evenings with ice cream from the corner store. It was fabulous!
My favorite part, however, was sitting back and watching the kids play with their cousins. It was fun to see them comfortable enough with themselves to play with other family members, or just play by themselves. I enjoyed watching them have the space to just be. My son and daughter really enjoyed their unstructured days. I wish I could give them more free time, but our days have a certain hum to them. Without a routine, nothing gets done and no one is happy. So this week away was precious respite for all of us.
So now my nose is back to the grindstone (what an odd expression!). As for the writing, it will come and I will let it. And the poems—they will come, too. I plan to wring every poem I can out of summer's sweet, sweet air.
