Custom Reports: If You Collect Data on It, You Can Create a Report for It
No two companies are exactly alike – in the way they operate or in the way they manage their vendors. The same is also true of a company's reporting needs. One leadership team may have a different priority or consider a different metric to be mission critical. Regulatory teams or auditors may ask for data based on their current priorities.
That's why a fully configurable reporting structure in your vendor management solution is a must-have. It allows you to create the reports you need to meet your compliance and regulatory demands. You can also create templates and structures to deliver recurring reports that drive insights into your business.
Common Reports – Built to Your Specifications
Your vendor risk management software should be able to produce reports that inform your team and give you visibility into your business:
- Record your third-party and fourth-party vendors and report their levels of risk
- Report real-time news risk alerts, especially on critical vendors
- List current assessments, assessments that are overdue and upcoming assessments
- Report on policy compliance status
- Document and issues and remediations
- Build board and audit-ready reports with one-click
What about non-standard reports?
Your system needs to be flexible enough to find and deliver additional information at a moment's notice when your regulators or your management team ask for it.
Standard reports tell the story for managing the day-to-day insights. However, business conditions change, new threats and trends emerge, and the regulatory environment is always evolving. Having a configurable reporting structure allows you to manage, arrange and analyze your data to answer your business' vendor questions.
If you're collecting data on it, why shouldn't you be able to see those results?
VendorInsight Delivers Standard Reports and Configuration Tools
At VendorInsight®, the software comes with dozens of pre-built reports that are among the most commonly used in the industry, such as contract data at-a-glance or board-ready reports.
Tools inside the software allow you to manage the configuration of reports to display only the information you want that meets the criteria for your search and your circumstances. Build reports that align with your business structures and reporting needs.
In addition, our powerhouse team of experts in due diligence, risk assessment, and vendor management are able to assist our clients in building the reports you need to drive your business.

In late October, the White House again asked states to ban non-compete agreements for low wage workers and those that do not have access to trade secrets. Non-compete agreements prohibit employees from working for competing companies and help to secure trade secrets for many companies across America. The Obama administration suggests that the ban would create a more competitive labor market and promote faster wage growth.
The administration believes that non-competes restrict workers from essentially acting as free agents. Vice President Biden said "[Workers] can't reach their true potential without freedom to negotiate for a higher wage with a new company, or to find another job after they've been laid off." The administration also wants to see a ban of non-competes that are not accepted by the employee before the offer is accepted or before a promotion is accepted. And if an employee is laid off, then the non-compete should become void.
On the other side of the argument is the National Federation of Independent Businesses, which believes that there are good reasons for many businesses to require non-competes and that a blanket ban of non-compete would not be viable.
Practically speaking, the White House's proposal simply seeks to do what courts do every day – determine whether a non-compete is reasonable and therefore, enforceable. That analysis already considers the employee's role in the company, his or her access to confidential information and trade secrets, and the circumstances surrounding the signing of the agreement. The balancing performed by courts takes into consideration an employee's right to work and the fact that non-competes and other restrictive covenants such as agreements that prohibit former employees from soliciting customers and employees can serve a very important function in stabilizing our nation's businesses large and small. For example, they help to ensure that businesses do not spend money training employees who have access to confidential and proprietary information only to have those employees leave, take all of that knowledge they would not have had but for their employment with the company, and then use it to unfairly compete against their former employer.
If you would like to discuss drafting, enforcing, or defending against the enforcement of non-compete agreements or other restrictive covenants, then please contact Tomlinson & Shapiro at (312) 715-8770.

Good Food Guide Awards to be held in Brisbane for the first time
The Good Food Guide Awards will be held in Brisbane for the first time this year in a celebration of Australia's culinary culture, which coincides with the launch of a new monthly glossy Good Food magazine inserted into The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
The awards also mark 40 years of the Good Food Guide, Australia's home of the Hats, which was first launched in 1980 by The Age and has grown into the country's leading restaurant bible.
Trudi Jenkins, Good Food's publishing director, said moving the awards around the country helped highlight the best chefs and ingredients in each region. The national awards have previously been held in Sydney and Melbourne.
"The Good Food Guide is the most respected restaurant guide in the country, renowned for its editorial independence," Jenkins said. "And we are really pleased to have Brisbane hosting the Good Food Guide Awards because it's a city that has become a vibrant destination for food lovers."
Howard Smith Wharves, on the banks of the Brisbane River and the city's newest restaurant precinct, will host the black-tie dinner for 800 guests on September 30.
The wharves' culinary director David Finlayson said he was honoured to cook for the nation's leading chefs at the awards.
Good Food Guide in numbers
- 40th Anniversary of the Guide
- About 500 restaurants in the guide
- 650-plus reviews conducted
- 264 Hats awarded in the 2019 edition
"It'll be one of the biggest achievements I've had ... to cook for your industry peers, that you look up to," Mr Finlayson said. "To have them all come to your precinct, it doesn't get much better than that."
And Mr Finlayson said the awards were a chance to celebrate Brisbane's burgeoning culinary scene, with a focus on the region's fresh produce.
"[Brisbane is] the up-and-coming place," Mr Finlayson said. "Melbourne and Sydney are saturated with good restaurants ... but there's definitely a chance for you to do something really special up here."
A number of top chefs, including Mr Finlayson who previously worked at Chin Chin in Sydney and Melbourne, have recently moved north. Among them are Patrick Friesen, who ran Queen Chow in Sydney before moving to Brisbane last year, and Alanna Sapwell, formerly head chef of the award-winning Saint Peter in Sydney. Both are now at Howard Smith Wharves.
Good Food Guide editor Myffy Rigby, who is leading the guide for the fifth year, said 40 years was an important milestone for the publication.
"That's 40 years of dedication from our top chefs, sommeliers and restaurateurs, delivering their craft to decades of readers," Rigby said.
The guide contains almost 500 reviews overseen by a senior panel including Rigby, The Sydney Morning Herald food critics Terry Durack, Jill Dupleix and Callan Boys, The Age critic Gemima Cody, Good Food editor Ardyn Bernoth and deputy editor Roslyn Grundy. It goes on sale on October 1 for $29.99.
Good Food magazine will debut in its glossy format on October 4 and will be published on the first Friday of every month thereafter. The magazine is in addition to the popular Tuesday section which will continue in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
Nick Bonyhady is industrial relations reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, based between Sydney and Parliament House in Canberra.

Four brand new stories featuring the investigators of infernal incidents, in one box set:
The Flying Frenchmen by Jonathan Morris
Jago and Litefoot embark on a cruise. It's supposed to be a relaxing break, but what terrors lurk in the mysterious fog? And what about the other ships that seem trapped along with the Fata Morgana – are they friend or foe? Or something much more frightening?
The Devil's Dicemen by Justin Richards
Arriving at Monte Carlo, Jago is keen to try his luck at the famous casino. But if he's not careful he could lose a lot more than just money. While Litefoot makes a new friend, Jago and ship's purser Aubrey find themselves playing for high stakes at the Clandestine Dark Casino.
Island of Death by Simon Barnard & Paul Morris
Arriving at a beautiful island, Jago and Litefoot discover evidence of a missing expedition. Can they discover what happened to the ship's crew – before it happens to them? And will they be able to avoid the amorous advances of the formidable Lady Danvers?
Return of the Nightmare by Justin Richards
There is a murderer loose aboard the ship. If Jago and Litefoot can solve the mystery of the strange fog and return to London, will that make matters better, or far worse? The answers lie deep in the past, and they soon learn that not everyone is who – or what – they might seem.

Lingo Sketch Plugin
A design system manager for Sketch
Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
Hey hunters! 👋 My name is Henrique Ourique and I'm a Product Designer at Lingo. We're thrilled to introduce our plugin for Sketch which allows designers to establish, use and evolve a fully customizable shared design system. At Lingo one of our jobs is to help design teams ensure consistency at scale. We do this by enabling them to build a central design library that is usable by their entire organization. Until now, Sketch assets weren't supported which meant designers had to manage a separate library just for UI components. This created multiple sources of truth, making it harder to ensure consistency. Not anymore… By supporting Sketch assets, designers can add Symbols, Text Styles, Layer Styles, Artboards, Groups and Layers to Lingo, thus ensuring everyone consistently uses the same components. Support for Sketch assets is only the beginning. Through research we learned that it is impractical to build and update an interconnected design system one component at a time, so we made sure the plugin is smart about these "connections" and allows designers to perform batch actions. This means "connected components" can be added or updated together, resulting in a more efficient workflow. You can read in-depth about the plugin and its features on Medium: https://medium.com/lingoapp/a-de... We'll be here throughout the day answering your questions. 😉 P.S. If you were part of the public or private beta, thank you so much for all your feedback! This release wouldn't be possible without you.

As someone rather new to the whole Sketch ecosystem, can someone explain to me how this differs from the library feature of Craft?
Great question @scaasic! Both Lingo and Craft offer a shared library feature, ensuring everyone pulls from the same design language. Lingo however offers a set of features not available in Craft [I believe]. In Lingo you can: • Customize how your design system is presented by reordering assets, adding inline notes where needed and creating different sections for each component type. • Manage people's role and access to the different kits in your library – Admin and Member with or without edit privileges. Lastly, the Lingo plugin for Sketch is equipped with a feature we call smart updates which allows you to update "connected components" together thus ensuring your design system remains globally cohesive and up-to date. To put this into context, here's what happens behind the scenes when you change a few components: 1. The plugin compares the components in your document with what's in Lingo 2. The plugin figures out if the changed components are nested within other components 3. The plugin shows you a visual diff of the components you changed alongside other components that are affected by your changes (e.g. You update a button and it affects a card component) As far as I can tell this feature 👆 is completely unique to Lingo and its plugin. Hope that answers your question. ----- For further reading on the customization offered by Lingo, check out these 2 articles: • https://medium.com/lingoapp/reth... • https://medium.com/lingoapp/asse...

A much needed gap in Sketch is filled with Lingo. Have you looked at licensing the NounProject API? It would give you a good curated set of SVG icons that can be used for mockups and as final icon art for the finished app (licensing taken care of). Any thoughts about creating a marketplace for sketch assets? If you can curate it and reward the designers you might have a huge new market on your hands!
@stepheninoue We have looked into using the Noun Project API because well.. we're the same team that built Noun Project ;) To your second point about creating a marketplace for Sketch assets - this is something that interests us...however we're not only thinking about Sketch assets. You can get an idea where our head is at by taking a look at the Lingo store. https://www.lingoapp.com/store/

Is there a solution to get developer ready design system?
Another great question! Thanks @vladkorobov To truly ensure consistency at scale, a design language must be consolidated and useful to everybody pulling from it. In other words, one single source of truth for the entire team. In its current form, Lingo is more useful to the people who need a visual/graphic manifestation of the design system – usually Designers, Product Managers, Marketers. However, Developers can find some value in code snippets and style attributes included in certain assets in Lingo. We know of course this is not enough and we believe Lingo should provide equal value to every user type. For this reason we've started researching ways we can bring the Developer's workflow into Lingo. Even though we're still in a very exploratory stage, we believe there's a potential for Lingo to become not only a design system manager that is used as a reference for building features, but also one that outputs to the product itself. If you have specific thoughts on how this should work we'd love to talk! 💬

@henriqueourique I would like that to be somehow integrated in recommended tool from you guis to build Design Systems as a little Wiki. And start the work to make this automatic somehow. At least you could build some pipeline like Designed, Developed, Documented

Ones to Watch
Headlining the men's draw once again will be Spaniard Rafael Nadal. The veteran secured a record eleventh Roland-Garros crown last year to further secure his position as 'The King of Clay'. Joining Nadal will be 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer; the Swiss legend has opted not to compete in the French capital for the past three years in order to focus on the other Majors.
World number one Novak Djokovic will also enter the tournament brimming with confidence having dominated the 2019 season so far, securing a seventh Australian Open in the season's opening Major Championship The British charge will be led by Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans and Cameron Norrie.
[French Open 2019 - 5 talking points]
British number one Kyle Edmund has endured a tough season to date but will hope to bring the form that took him to an Australian Open semi-final last year whilst Norrie has made a strong start to the clay court season and will hope for a run into the latter stages on the famous clay courts.
The women's draw looks to be one of the most open for several years and could provide an opportunity for the in-form British number one Johanna Konta. Following a poor run in the latter half of the 2018 season, Konta has rebounded in style under the tutelage of Dimitri Zavialoff, former coach to multiple Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka.
Naomi Osaka won her maiden Grand Slam title at the 2018 US Open before swiftly securing her second title at the Australian Open in January – and will again be among the key title contenders, but will have to see off US Open final opponent Serena Williams to do so.

Annabel Croft's Roland-Garros preview
Pick for the women's draw…
That's the golden question isn't it? The first 18 tournaments of the year were won by different women, making it near impossible to pick who is going to win any tournament. It's great, because most of them feel like they've got a chance heading in to Roland Garros, it's made it so much more difficult to dominate in the early stages, but it also gives so much more hope who wouldn't normally think they could win.
You've got the likes of 18-year-old Bianca Andreescu pulling off a huge win at Indian Wells, or the likes of Ostapenko winning Roland Garros a couple of years ago having never won a singles tournament before. Everybody feels they can win anything, at any time.
Somebody who has been playing extremely well is Kiki Bertens. She is very much under the radar as a character, she isn't someone who creates lots of headlines, but she often has a good run at the French, she beat Kerber there a couple years ago in the first round. She is one of those hard workers in matches, and I think anybody who gets drawn against her will fear that. I think she is probably a little bit of a dark horse in the draw, she seems very determined.
The other person all eyes will be on is Simona Halep, how is she going to respond coming back as defending champion. Things have quite kicked on as she would've expected after winning that first Slam last year, it's been quite tricky for her. She's either been there or there abouts, at the latter stages of events, but hasn't quite been happening for her after the shackles coming off at the French last year.
On Serena Williams…
It certainly feels like the path for Serena is going to get tougher for her, because there are injury concerns, has she played enough tennis. Having said that, we are talking about such a great champion who has defied every kind of rulebook about how it's meant to be done.
She is that much of a competitor, with that much winning behind her, it's very difficult to rule her out. She's won the French three times, but if I were to pick a Grand Slam for her to win, I think it would be Wimbledon.
It is quite breathtaking the level of achievement Serena has reached in her career, which is why every time she turns up to a tournament, people flock from far and wide to watch, she puts bums on seats. She makes people who might not necessarily have that much of an interest in the sport, come and watch tennis because of her achievements.
[French Open - Latest news and updates from BT Sport]
On Naomi Osaka...
I actually think clay isn't her favourite surface, having watched some of her tennis on clay so far this year, it's clear she's still trying to learn how to become a better clay court player and how to slide on the surface. She's a lot less comfortable on a clay court than what she is on a hard surface. I think her movement and footwork on a hard court are exceptional, but when it comes to clay you can see she looks a little bit unbalanced and it's just a bit more tricky for her to play her best tennis on a clay court. She's got such an aura around her on the tour these days, and she is a force to be reckoned with, but she could be vulnerable early on as well.
Because of what happened in the final of the US Open between Naomi and Serena and the fact there was so much controversy in that match, it did take Osaka from the back pages on to other pages. Every time Naomi is at a tournament now, there are people coming to watch her because of that final, and of course the fact she has won two Slam's in a row.

One of the evolutions of education is that students are now expected to know more than ever when they are in Kindergarten. As Dorothy Hall, author and educator, pointed out at the 2011 International Reading Association (IRA) Conference, just because they are expected to know more does not mean that they are developing any faster. "Now you actually have to teach [rigorously] in Kindergarten," Hall said. This can pose a significant challenge for today's Kindergarten teachers. Not only do they need to meet current standards, but they must meet them with students who are not, potentially, ready to learn them.
When it comes to learning words, many teachers turn to flashcards to help. Hall pointed out that flashcards, while good, are only good for your strong visual learners. They do not do much to help your other learners retain the information. So, how do you bring meaning to the words and make them easy for all of your students to remember? Hall suggested making the words meaningful to the students. "If it's a special word to kids they learn it faster," Hall said.
Incorporating pictures with the letters and words that you want them to learn is also important.While most students enter Kindergarten knowing up to 3,500 words, many students are sorely lacking in vocabulary skills, as well. Now in Kindergarten, students are expected to learn up to 100 words in order to pass on to the next grade. Expectations for students have surely changed.
Hall also pointed out that students remember words and letters that are linked to things. She suggested using the Getting to Know You activities at the beginning of the school year to kick off your Kindergarten Word Wall. Use students' names and information on the wall. They are much more likely to remember the letter "G" if their name is "Gabriel", for example. The more connected the words are to the student, the more likely they will be to retain them.
It is also important to teach students to figure out new words based on the words that they already know. Using a "Words We Know" journal goes a long way to helping students connect words to those they have experience with already. Not only are the journals perfect for everyday use with your students, they are also ideal for working with your RtI groups.

Incident: Boeing 737-204 ADV, EI-CJE, Derry Airport, 28 September 2002: Report 2003-010
The scheduled passenger flight departed Derry (EGAE) at 08.10 UTC with 108 passengers and 6 crew for Stansted (EGSS). The Captain who was the pilot flying (PF), elected to perform a "Bleeds Off" take-off for which the First Officer (FO), the pilot not flying (PNF), configured the air conditioning panel for "Bleeds Off" at the pre take-off holding point.
After take-off, the PNF reconfigured the air conditioning panel while performing the after take-off checks and turned the air conditioning packs OFF, in error. The flight then continued up to Flight Level (FL) 270, during which both pilots recall hearing warning horns.
At this level the PF levelled the aircraft, passenger oxygen masks had already deployed, and, in a panel scan, he noticed that the packs were selected to OFF and immediately switched them to ON. Cabin pressurisation returned to normal, aural warnings shortly ceased and the flight continued to Stansted, where it landed without further incident. ATC were not made aware of any onboard problem with this flight.

I volunteered to do a modeling shoot, and I got to learn a bit about how what apertures to use on a 50mm f/1.4 lens. In this case, I was using a Canon 50mm USM f/1.4 lens.
I don't think you ever want to use it wide open since it gets really soft. At f/2.0 it is still soft but it has a nice blur. If you take a head shot at f/2.0, you get some really sharp eyes (if you focus there) and all the wrinkles blur away.
Do not use f/2.0 for a bust or full body shot. Bad idea. Everything is blurry.
When you get to f/5.0, that's a great f-stop for a couple. You still aren't tack sharp yet.
At f/5.6, you get tack sharp photos.
Beyond f/5.6 sharpness begins to fade, but just slightly.

The Scriptures do not mention a lot of sins by name like pedophilia, drug abuse, pornography, or gambling, but such sins violate clear Bible principles such as fornication, unhealthful living and mismanagement of resources. The word "fornication" in Greek is porneia, (from which we get the English words porno and pornography.) The word in Scripture refers to any illicit sexual activity including pedophilia.
Pedophilia is among the sins that are "without natural affection" which Paul speaks about in Romans 1:31; 2 Timothy 3:2. The Bible teaches that the only "natural affection" or sexual relationship that is sanctified by God is between one man and one woman who are married to each other (Hebrews 13:4; Matthew 19:1-9). The Lord states that fornication is one of the sins that come from the heart of a man that is separated from God by sin (Mark 7:21–23). And Paul lists it is among the "lusts of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16–21).
Jesus warned against offending the children: "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matthew 18:6, KJV). Causing a child to stumble is such a grave sin that Jesus said it would be better to die than do such a horrible act.
The New Testament lists sexually immoral sins as the sins that keep people out of the kingdom of heaven "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with me nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). God has made it plain that there can be no compromise between sin and righteousness, and that whoever clings to sin will not be among the saved (Proverbs 14:9).

If you thought sustainability was only relevant to big business, think again: not only can a well-conceived sustainability strategy save you money, if well communicated it can also strengthen the relationship between an SME and its customer base.
There is a tendency among businesses to see sustainability as a cost – something extra in which they must invest time and resources – or as an irritant, a bureaucratic series of compliances that have to be met, but which are not core to the business. In fact, sustainability can and should be a way for companies to grow market share while making significant cost savings.
Many large companies make much of – and have been praised for – their sustainability strategies; less well known, perhaps is what smaller companies are doing for their part. Can SMEs commit to sustainability in the same way large companies can, and are there even areas where they might have an advantage over their larger competitors?
Solitaire Townsend, co-founder of Futerra Sustainability Communications, says that, from a strategic point of view, the needs are the same for SMEs as they are for global conglomerates. "Why are we looking at sustainability? What are our targets; what are the key performance indicators; and what will we go away doing differently tomorrow, next week and next year? It sounds bizarre, but a start-up will have exactly the same concerns as a multinational."
Beyond savings
Where the difference lies is between managerial and entrepreneurial sustainability. For a large firm, commitment to sustainability often doesn't look past cost savings – principally on energy, waste and efficiency improvements. For an SME, saving money is important, but there can also be a focus on making money by creating competitive advantage from sustainable products and services.
"A sustainability strategy for many SMEs is about building relationships with customers," Townsend says. "They are closer to the ground in terms of experimentation and moving quickly." It's no surprise that, as a result, many large businesses have acquired smaller ones that have a strong emphasis on sustainability: "For example, Unilever acquired Ben & Jerry's, and L'Oréal acquired The Body Shop."
This trend will continue. "The entrepreneurialism we see almost all comes from small businesses, and it's here that there's real opportunity for SMEs. There is a changing customer base developing. We have millennials who want to buy different kinds of products, care about where things are sourced from and they want to work for more ethically minded companies too. So entrepreneurial sustainability, which was once risky, is now becoming more and more manageable."
Image and brand building
For Professor Ken Peattie, director of the BRASS (business relationships, accountability, sustainability and society) centre at Cardiff Business School, the challenge for SMEs is understanding that sustainability is for them. "SMEs often don't think of themselves as 'corporate' and relate more to local and community issues than a vision of wider society and a set of responsibilities," he says.
It may simply be that the 'CSR' (corporate social responsibility) tag is off-putting to SMEs. But, says Peattie: "If you think about CSR in terms of making best use of resources; managing social and environmental risks; building good relationships with local communities and workforce; forging a strong reputation and offering customers the reassurance of dealing with a company that does the right thing for people and the environment; then it is just as much for SMEs as for big companies."
Indeed, a good sustainability performance can help a small company punch well above its weight in terms of image and brand building, "since this creates an additional positive set of issues to communicate with stakeholders about".
Taking positive steps
In practice, there are several areas where SMEs can move forward more easily than their larger competitors. Matt Sexton, Townsend's colleague and strategy director at Futerra, outlines three key advantages that SMEs have: "The ability to act quickly is a huge benefit. Compared with the sheer amount of inertia that can happen in tackling issues in large companies, SMEs can make decisions without the committees and layers of management that you often see in big business."
The second advantage relates to ownership structure. "Take renewables like solar panels. They last 20 years, are paid off after seven years, and so give you free electricity for 13 years. That makes substantial savings so it should be a no-brainer. But large companies will very rarely sign off investment costs like that because they only work to three-year plans. An SME, however, can make the decision to do so, because they're independent enough to look at long-term value."
Thirdly, SMEs succeed in the wider sphere by running on innately efficient lines. "Some big companies are very efficient but the reality is that they have large buffers, so they don't concentrate on savings. When you have a smaller cash profit, there is a disproportionately higher benefit from trimming your waste, fuel and packaging costs."
Going for certification
Finally, should SMEs look at certification? The answer is a qualified 'yes'. "Third-party certification schemes such as ISO 14001 or 50001, Investors in People or Carbon Trust Standards can all provide good learning opportunities and create a shared pride," says Rowland Hill, corporate sustainability manager at Marks and Spencer. "But only pick ones that are relevant to your sector."
The process of gaining certification will lead to benefits in itself – you will identify areas for improvement. "But select the ones that are going to be valuable to you," agrees Matt Sexton. "Don't let the process of going for certification get you bogged down in red tape."
The basic elements of a sustainability strategy
- Have a clear business case: Does the leadership know why you are developing a sustainability strategy? What short-, medium- and long-term goals do you want to achieve?
- Prioritise: See where you can make most impact. Depending on the business, you might make the best savings in energy, waste or water. See where you can make the greatest financial difference, and focus on that.
- Understand the numbers: "It's surprising how many companies don't know how much they actually spend on electricity, water and waste collection," says Matt Sexton. "Do the sums and you will see where you want to prioritise."
- Generate internal support: Embedding sustainability will not work unless it has both top-down and bottom-up commitment – no matter how large or small the company. "The key is to have a plan that engages everyone in the company so it becomes a culture, not just a campaign," says Rowland Hill. "Some of the best ideas come from employees," Sexton adds, "and you only find out what they are when the discussions take place."
- Engage with the customer: Do you use less carbon than major competitors? Do you source locally, minimise waste and maximise reuse and recycling? If you can make genuine green claims, communicate them to customers.
- Have an action plan: Audit where you can make changes, and outline a timetable for their implementation. Once you've identified three or four actionable issues and discussed them with employees, they will quickly translate into deliverables.
Take renewables like solar panels. They last 20 years, are paid off after seven years, and so give you free electricity for 13 years. That makes substantial savings so it should be a no-brainer. But large companies will very rarely sign off investment costs like that because they only work to three-year plans. An SME, however, can make the decision to do so, because they're independent enough to look at long-term value

Hierochloe odorata – Sweet Grass
Sweet Grass – Hierochloe odorata
Hierochloe = L. "Holy Grass";
odorata = L. "fragrant, scented";
Blackfoot – siputus-simal (fragrant smell).
Identification: Sweet Grass is a perennial, sweet-smelling grass, with flat leaf blades. The smooth culms are 30 – 60 cm tall. The spikelets are shining, yellowish brown, or purplish. The whole plant is fragrant when dried.
Distribution & Habitat: Sweet Grass has a circumpolar distribution. It likes low meadows and occasional dampness. It is also found along lake shores and is most commonly seen in early spring. Sweet Grass sometimes persists as a weed in recently broken ground.
Preparation & Uses: In late summer, sweet grass was gathered by the Blackfoot. They would take a handful of it and braid it to use as incense. I often put some of this sweet smelling grass on coals, or on the airtight stove in my tipi. This freshens up the air, leaving a pleasant odour.
Amongst the Blackfoot, virtually every holy article was cleaned in the smoke of sweet grass before use. Medicine men made a ritual of burning this grass twice a day. Sweet Grass was sometimes chewed by prairie Indians during a prolonged fast to give them extended endurance.
This herb had many ritualistic uses, e.g., to cleanse women in smoke after they had given birth. It was often given to help in expulsion of afterbirth and to stop vaginal bleeding. The tea was also used by men to treat venereal infections.
It was used as a treatment for sore throats. The stems were soaked in water and used to treat chapping and wind burn. This was sometimes combined with bear grease. This infusion was also used as an eyewash.
A hair tonic was made of sweet grass water with the addition of gelatin from boiled hooves. It was also mixed with red ochre, which the Blackfoot used to decorate their clothing and bodies.

The Training and Skills Development Service (TSDS) has been running for nearly 12 months in Tasmania. Over 140 projects have been funded, representing a wide variety of training and workforce development initiatives.
The aim of the program is to 'assist enterprises to meet and respond to emerging industry directions to support rebuilding and growth of the Tasmanian Forest and Timber Products Industry'. This objective is broad and enables a diverse range of training to occur under the fund. An example of this was recently, a learner was approved to undertake training for his Remote Pilot's License for flying drones.
An enterprise with an appropriately licensed employee who can operate a drone within the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations is able to maintain a high level of accuracy and quality control within their daily harvesting and restoration operations.
Whilst the training is outside the TSDS guidelines, by providing adequate supporting documentation, including the benefits this training would provide to industry and using a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approved training provider, the TSDS Project Team referred the application to the TSDS Steering Committee where approval of the project was subsequently given.

As soon as a new B2B client joins us, I know the website redesign will be coming down the pipeline, so I Google their website the instant their name's officially added to our roster. Scroll down the results, click, and analyze: the website copy conveys squishy messaging that isn't very clear, it houses a bizarre layout that escapes logic or intuition, isn't search engine optimized - which these days, is just basic - and the images are generic, lifeless, and poor.
Pictures matter. Contrary to what advertisers (and even some marketers) tell you, not all pictures are worth looking at; yet, we are exposed to images all the time. What's important and not important about a website's pictures will depend on a mix of variables: context, content, action, composition, cropping, lighting and more. When these variables cohere—when they just gel—what we see are not just images per se, but a style.
A style is hard to come by. It's robust in the sense of being unique to a client's identity, yet resistant to digital fads, which come and go by the minute. A style speaks beyond the brand, to the way the company's world is viewed—through products, services, practices and people—in the eyes of employees, management and customers.
You can shop at Dollarama, H&M, or Holt Renfrew and find a style. You can shop at Getty or iStock and find a style that reflects online what's already there in bricks and mortar. But as with any style, whether individual or corporate, it starts with knowing who you are.

In this delightful little fantasy a
young girl wishes her dog into a unicorn and they have all sorts of fantastic
adventures. Their back yard becomes a haunted fairy land with castles, dragons,
wizards and treasures to find. They romp until they are exhausted and the
spell wears off while they are having nap. But she knows that they can have
another day like that any time they want to.
Heidbreders story is given to us as
a poem, following a simple pattern kids can easily appreciate.
I wished for a unicorn.
I wished so hard
That I found a unicorn
In my backyard.
Dentons artwork has been rendered
in gouache, which is sort of like watercolour except that its thicker. The
style is childlike without being childish and suits the daydreamy tone of
the story very nicely.

I made this yesterday, using more fruit and less sugar than what was stated. I didn't have any passionfruits so i used a tin of passionfruit. I used coconut sugar also.
The result was AMAZING!!! What an amazing combo of flavours.

Made this last night, had it on my toast this morning! SO GOOD!!! Didn't have passionfruit so used a couple of handfuls of cherries instead. Better than store bought, even according to my husband who is sometimes a bit picky lol

Sorry Kristeli, I only just saw your comment now!I haven't used agar before, but you could give it a go! As the sugar helps set the jam, it seems to me like it could work fine if you are using a setting agent (i.e. agar). Let me know how you get on if you test it out.
This sounds very yummy. I
This sounds very yummy. I have started making Quirky Cooking's Strawberry Jam with a tspn of agar. Do you think I could lower the sugar content if I use the agar for this recipe? I would love to try it!

Created attachment 141150 [details] [review]
Poppler opens files without O_CLOEXEC.
The attached patch fixes this in the libraries (but not the utils, since it doesn't matter there).
Since there already is a fopen() wrapper in goo/gfile, I changed invocations of fopen() to use openFile instead, and made a macro wrapper around openFile that adds the "e" mode (meaning CLOEXEC).
In the few places where open() is used instead of fopen(), I added O_CLOEXEC (with a fallback #define O_CLOEXEC 0 for those systems where O_CLOEXEC isn't defined).
(There was a problem in glib/ where including gfile.h leads to a conflict with glib.h in that both define a "GDir" type; I resolved this by making gfile.h not define its GDir if GFILE_NO_GDIR is #define'd before inclusion. I would have renamed GDir -> GooDir, for example, but it appears that header is installed and thus would have been an API change.)
Please explain the rationale for this patch
When a file isn't opened with O_CLOEXEC, and the process using the poppler library fork()+exec()es, the open file descriptor will leak from it to the spawned process, giving the new process access to a file it should not have access to.

Well, I was wrong about some things. I thought the Obama bubble had burst. Maybe it did, but clearly, what remained was so permeated that it carried him all the way through to Election Day.
But I am truly sad. I have been a backer of John McCain since 2000. For eight long years, I've been steadfast in my support for McCain, never wavering once. Even on his positions such as gay marriage and abortion, I have stuck by the Senator in tough times. I drove all the way up north in January to cast my ballot in futility, knowing this state would probably go for Mitt Romney in the GOP Primary.
For whatever reason, I logged into my facebook account tonight to check people's status, and found all but a handful were elated for the victory of Barack Obama. I thought about posting something to counter their joy, but what would it have done? Make me look like the villain, no doubt. Besides, everyone goes through life with at least one of their McGoverns or Goldwaters. Tonight, McCain is my Goldwater.
As I drove down to Frenchie's in Ypsilanti to watch the returns with some political science professors of mine, I was fortunate enough to sit with Dr. Richard Stahler-Sholk, my Comparative Politics prof. I had asked him if this time around he voted strategically and he said he did because "we needed to get the Republicans out of there." He was an avowed Ralph Nader supporter back in 2000 and 2004, but it didn't surprise me that this time around he wouldn't take any chances.
It was unfortunate that I couldn't follow the election this time around like I had last time, despite my enthusiasm for McCain. I am no longer in college, and I don't interact with poli sci people on a regular basis like I did just two years ago. The turnout at Frenchie's was depressingly low, just as it was in 2004. In 2000, before I was a regular face in the Political Science Department at EMU, I went to the election party at the Tower Inn, and watched with everyone as the election returns came in. That night helped propel me to concentrate my studies more in Political Science than history, as I felt the poli sci profs were more interesting and students had a better sense of humor.
In one month I lose my cat and McCain loses his bid for the White House. Both are devastating, yet, I saw both coming. The shock may have been quelled by that fact. But the depression will ruminate for a little longer until probably after January once Obama is sworn in. In the meantime, I'll be reliving this day when the Electoral College meets to elect Obama, and then when the House and Senate certify the results. All culminates in 75 days when Obama is sworn in as president on January 21.
I listen to McCain exit the campaign with grace tonight. He thanked his family, his fellow supporters, and Sarah Palin. He reminded us as candidates have before, what a tremendous burden the campaign is on their families. He urged all his supporters to get behind President-elect Obama and left it at that. I'm left thinking the good guys fought the good fight, and once again, lost.
I can't help but think, after all this, that all pundits and activists owe McCain a collective apology for all the stupid articles and books written about him and once and for all repudiate comments that compare him to Bush. It's only the right thing to do, which is why I'm not counting on them to do it.
