Consumer Rights:
In compliance with the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, the member has a right to cancel within 10 days of receiving a copy of this Agreement and a right to cancel due to a material change in their circumstances or a material change in the service provided by CrossFit 604. Examples of such material changes are given in section s 25(3) and 25(4) of the Act and include a member moving residences further than 30 kms from where they resided at time of signing this agreement. If a prepaid member cancels due to a material change in their circumstances, they will be entitled to a refund for the remaining balance of the Agreement less a 30% deduction for CrossFit 604's costs.
1 – Onramp It is required of all members of CrossFit 604 to either successfully complete our onramp program or demonstrate the required skills of CrossFit before entering regular classes. CrossFit 604 reserves the right to determine who is fit to enter classes. Those deemed unfit must complete as many private sessions necessary to prepare the member for classes before being permitted to attend regular classes. CrossFit 604 offer packages that include 8 private sessions (called Onramp) with a structured curriculum that is designed to prepare people to participate in CrossFit in an acceptable standard. The Onramp sessions will be booked at a mutually convenient time between the member and the CrossFit 604 staff. 24 hours notice is required for cancelling or rescheduling an onramp session. If less than 24 hours notice is given, the missed class will be considered used, and the member will be responsible for purchasing an additional Onramp session at the private training rate published on the CrossFit 604 website at time of rescheduling. If a member is more than 10 minutes late for their onramp session, they will be considered a no show and will be required to purchase an additional session at the private training rate published on the CrossFit 604 website. After the 8 Onramp sessions have been completed, it is at the sole discretion of CrossFit 604 to confirm that the member is ready to join the regular CrossFit classes. Additional Onramp sessions may be required, at the cost of the member, if the member has not demonstrated the minimum skill level required to join regular CrossFit classes. Failing to do so does no relinquish the members responsibility to upholding this binding contract. The additional private training cost will be billed at the private training rate published on the CrossFit 604 website at that time. If a member already has CrossFit experience they may be asked to attend a free session with a CrossFit 604 coach to demonstrate a minimum skill set of movements before entering the regular classes. It is at the sole discretion of CrossFit 604 to decide whether that minimum skill set has been met or if any Personal Training / Onramp classes are required. If those sessions are required, they will be at the sole cost of the member and will be billed at the private training rate published on the CrossFit 604 website at that time.
2 – Private Training Sessions All private training sessions booked require 24 hours notice from the member for cancellation to avoid being billed in full for the session. If a session is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice the full amount of that session will be charged to the member.
3 – Pre-Paid Memberships Memberships are non-transferrable. Should the member wish to no longer train at CrossFit 604 they are still responsible for the remainder of their term of the Agreement except as provided for under the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act as set out above. If the member does not exercise a cancellation right under the Act, then their options are to simply continue until the term of the agreement expires, or to cancel and immediately pay a 80% of the remaining balance of the contract.
4 – Monthly Memberships Memberships are non-transferrable. Should the member wish to no longer train at CrossFit 604 they are still responsible for the remainder of their term of the Agreement except as provided for under the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act as set out above. If the member does not exercise a cancellation right under the Act, then their options are to simply continue to pay the monthly fee until the term of the agreement expires, or to cancel and immediately pay a 80% of the remaining balance of the contract.
5 – Account Holds Members are permitted to put their accounts on hold. Any hold that is one calendar month will simply be a $15 fee per calendar month. If the hold is longer than one month, it will constitute another month, and another $15 admin fee. Holds less than one month will now be granted, however, for every hold under one month, a $15 admin fee per week will be charged. If your hold extends past a week, it will be considered another week hold and another $15 admin fee.
Fee Examples:
- If someone holds their account for a calendar month the fee is $15.
- If someone holds their account for a calendar month plus a day, the fee is $15×2.
- If someone holds their account for 2 calendar months, the fee is $15×2
- If someone holds their account for 21 days, the fee is $15×3.
- If someone holds their account for 25 days, the fee is $15×4.
No holds will be backdated.
Holds must be requested for in writing in advance of hold time.
Payments due while the account is on hold will still be due (as outlined by the members contract). Your held time is banked and added to the end of your membership.
Defaulting in payment at anytime will cancel any banked held time.
Hold fees are subject to taxes, not included in the fee listed in this policy.
An account hold does not pause the term of the contract, we are simply adding a bonus amount of time to the end of your contract term.
No refunds on unused holds. (If you come back early, you can shorten the length of your hold and reactivate your account, but the hold fee will still be collected).
6 – Rules on all Memberships Options Both the pre-paid and paid monthly memberships entitle the member to have full use of their purchased CrossFit 604 services as long as their payments are up to date. The current rates are only secured for the duration of the term of their current membership, and CrossFit 604 reserves the right to increase membership fees at any time, and upon the renewal period of the membership, the new rates would then apply. 30 days written notice must be given by the member to CrossFit 604, if the member chooses not to renew their membership. If the member would like to renew their membership, they must notify the staff as to which plan they'd like to subscribe to prior to the time of renewal, otherwise the member will automatically be renewed under the month to month Contract at the posted rate on the website (crossfit604.com) The members payment method will be charged at the time of renewal date and is subject to all the terms of this agreement. CrossFit 604 reserves the right to change the class schedule as needed. Needs to be determined by the CrossFit 604 Management. Any abuse of sale priced drop ins will result in a $25 admin fee charged to your credit card.
7 – Reservation Policies If you sign up for a class and don't show up, you are preventing someone else from coming who could have. To keep this from happening, and making all the classes as great as they can be for everyone, we use no-show penalties as a way to regulate this type of behaviour.
Any member who no-shows a sold out class or lifting rack will lose their reservation privileges for one week. During that week you can still come to classes but you will not be able to reserve a spot. If you show up and the class is full, you will not be allowed to join the class. You could however work on gymnastics, or row/bike etc, but you must not disrupt the class that's happening and no barbell work will be permitted. This will be a zero tolerance policy.
If you are a drop in or pay by the class, a no show means you lose that session with no refund or credit. No exceptions.
All classes and lifting racks have a minimum cancellation window. As of Jan 2019 the window is 8 hours, however if this changes, the time registered on the app will be the official window. You must cancel online or through the app. No calls or emails will be accepted for cancellations.
Multiple Reservations are not permitted. You may NOT sit on more than one reservation in a single day. If you book a class and miss it, you are NOT permitted to reserveanother that day. You can check into one upon arrival, but not reserve.
Reservation Abuse will not be tolerated. Any act that defeats the spirit of our reservation system will result in a 30 day suspension on 1st offence. 2nd offence will be a permanent loss of reservation privileges.
We just want to make sure that everyone is respectful of the value of class space. We are restricting this to ensure that the quality of the CrossFit 604 experience is preserved for everyone.
8 – Exceptions Policy Exceptions are at the sole discretion of the CrossFit 604 owners.
9 – Asshole Clause Any member who demonstrates behaviour that is in any way deemed by the owners to be destructive to the CrossFit 604 community may have their membership terminated without warning. NO ASSHOLES ALLOWED!
10 – Delinquent Accounts (No Pay – No Play) If a member's account balance is not paid in full on the due billing date, the member will have 7 days to make their late payment in full. If the member has not paid their dues by the 7th day deadline, the membership will be suspended and the member will be subject to a $100 re-initiation fee if they wish to re-activate their membership. The member will still be responsible for the remainder owed on the membership, even if they do not wish to reinstate their membership. There will be a $25 NSF / Decline charge billed to the member should their payment method not be approved. This charge will be billed each time the payment is attempted. Once an account has been deemed delinquent, the remainder of the membership will be due in full immediately. A 15% interest rate will be applied on the full balance owing until the debt is collected in full. Any service charges or legal fees incurred by CrossFit 604 as a result of the failure to pay will also be the responsibility of the delinquent member. Delinquent accounts will be sent to collections.
11 – Member Enjoyment All CrossFit 604 members deserve an uninterrupted enjoyment experience. To protect this enjoyment we have a no solicitation policy to ensure our members are not being solicited products by other members. CrossFit 604 is a no solicitation zone… This also applies to our private social media groups that members are invited to join once they become members. We don't want anyone to feel pressure or weird about being pitched something in what should be his or her training sanctuary. But by all means if you have a product that you would like to discuss with CrossFit 604 to see if it would be of interest for the gym please speak to one of the CrossFit 604 staff about that.
12 – Respect The CrossFit 604 team has worked extremely hard to provide the members the best training facility they can, and as a result we expect the members to treat the equipment with respect as well as the Coaching staff and all of the members. Be respectful of time… Everyone has busy lives; please do not make a habit of showing up late to the class time. It is recommended to show up 15 min before class time to warm up and stretch.
13 – Code Of Conduct READ THIS…
We understand that equipment has a natural life cycle, and will receive wear and tear over the course of being used, but abuse of the equipment (including, but not limited to, the terms outlined in the rules listed below) that causes damage to the equipment or the facility in any way will be assessed at replacement value and the cost passed onto the individual who caused it.
If you find damaged equipment, report it to the staff immediately and do NOT use it or we may assume you damaged it. Saying "It was like that already" will not suffice.
The following rules will be strictly enforced:
- No dropping equipment. Any equipment. The only exception to this rule is a barbell that has coloured plates and collars on it. (Coloured plates are green, yellow, blue or red). This means no dropping dumbbells, Kettlebells, empty barbells or bars with only black plates or steel plates.
- No dropping the end of the empty barbell when you strip weights off.
- Barbells must be used with collars and loaded properly with no more than 7.5 pounds per side in change plates.
- No dropping anything on the barbell collars. No throwing or dropping of the barbell collars.
- No tying knots in skipping ropes or adjusting rope length.
- No stepping on benches.
- Concrete walls are indestructible, but our faux concrete (stucco walls) are not. Please don't lean or do anything up against those walls (exterior bathroom walls, wall behind front desk).
- Do not use the medicine balls for anything except throwing them to the wall ball targets (lines at 9ft & 10ft). Do not throw them against the concrete or stucco walls, and no sitting on them).
- If you used it, put it away. If you sweat on it or bleed on it, clean it up.
By signing your contract you acknowledge that if you abuse, misuse or damage any equipment due to negligence that you will be immediately billed for the cost of replacing said equipment at the full replacement value (including taxes / exchange rates / shipping costs).
14 – Services CrossFit 604 has a locker wall in the lounge area; members may feel free to use a locker during their workout. Members should also feel free to bring a lock or purchase one from CrossFit 604. There is no charge to use the locker while a member is in class, but at the end of the class locks must be removed along with belongings. No personal belongings shall be left behind – if they are left behind they will be removed and disposed of. Members that would prefer to store things long term can inquire with CrossFit 604 about renting a locker on a monthly basis. There is a small fee for doing so. The locker will be assigned to the member and the member may use it to store their belongings. Members must not store perishable items, or anything that will emit an odor such as wet towels, dirty or wet clothes, etc. If CrossFit 604 believes that items of that nature are being stored in the locker they reserve the right to cut the lock and dispose of any items that are causing the nuisance. Any loss from this lock cutting will be at the expense of the member. CrossFit 604 provides shower facilities for use by its members. Please be courteous to fellow members who may also want to use the showers. Members should be as quick as possible in the shower to allow for others to use it also. Members must remove all personal belongings from the shower area upon completion of shower. Towels will not be provided, members must bring their own, or purchase one from CrossFit 604.

Banana "Ice Cream" Fakeout
Recipe submitted by: Amy Pickett
Recipe courtesy of: http://foodforthefinicky.blogspot.com/2012/07/banana-ice-cream-fake-out.html
Quick and simple "ice cream" using only bananas and milk.
What's in it
Banana "Ice Cream" Fakeout
Slightly adapted version of Rachael Ray's
3 bananas, frozen and cut into small chunks
1/4 to1/2 cup milk (I used 1% milk)
1 tbsp. agave nectar (optional, for added sweetness)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
How to cook it
- Start by pulsing banana in a food processor to break up the chunks.
- Puree bananas, adding milk, a little bit at a time, until mixture begins to smooth out. Add vanilla and agave nectar. Continue pureeing, adding more milk if needed, until mixture becomes thick, smooth, and creamy.
- Rachael says it should take about 2 minutes to whip. It took me about 5 minutes. I had to use a spoon to break up and redistribute the semi frozen mixture a couple of times when it seized up in the food processor.
- The original recipe says to serve immediately, but if the consistency is too soft, I recommend freezing the ice cream for at least one hour to firm it up.

We are moving forward!
The next step in our plans to make the church more accessible and welcoming is to hire an architect to help us figure out exactly what is feasible, based on what our consultant has told us we can afford. We have selected the architect and are contracting Architectural Consulting Services (http://www.acslowell.com/acs-about.html) of Lowell to do the feasibility study. The firm's Principal and Director of Design, Jay R. Mason, has 28 years of experience in the field of architecture. The firm specializes in renovation and historic rehabilitation and is committed to sustainable, energy-efficient design. Mr. Mason is LEED-certified (qualified sustainable designer) and involved with the Lowell Green Building Commission. The firm also has experience with UU churches, having worked on the renovation of the Westford UU church, installing their elevator.
The Task Force will have preliminary feedback from the architect for the congregation before the end of the church year in June. Their next meeting is April 17 at 11:30 am.
Meanwhile, a Fiscal Task Force is being formed to develop a budget and financing plans for the project. The first meeting of the Fiscal Task Force will be April 10 at 11:30 am. All who are interested in contributing to this discussion are invited to attend.

National campaign chair for Stephen Harper's failed re-election campaign, Guy Giorno, said he's responsible for the routing the Conservative Party took Monday and called a story about the party tossing Jenni Byrne from Stephen Harper's inner circle "gossip" that is "unfair and unprofessional."
Giorno made the comments on Twitter and he provided a link to a story written by the Canadian Press (CP). According to CP, a senior Conservative source said that campaign manager Byrne was packing up her belongings in the Ottawa war room as early as Thursday.
Sources told CP that a longstanding feud between Byrne and Giorno had escalated and that the two clashed throughout the campaign.
But while Giorno acknowledges that "there can be differences of opinion in all organizations, including campaigns," he's not about to let Byrne fall on the sword.
Anonymous gossip like this is unfair and unprofessional. First, I'm the one accountable for how our campaign ran https://t.co/3S962g9ImH
— Guy Giorno (@cpc_giorno) October 21, 2015
Second, I only speak to media on the record and for attribution & suggest to my #cpc colleagues it's cowardly and unethical to do otherwise
— Guy Giorno (@cpc_giorno) October 21, 2015
Third, there can be differences of opinion in all organizations, including all campaigns. At the end of the day I'm still accountable.
— Guy Giorno (@cpc_giorno) October 21, 2015
Finally, any views on why we fell short I owe it to my Party to share with Party & National Council instead of the media and public.
— Guy Giorno (@cpc_giorno) October 21, 2015

Public invited to test new tool to study earth using photos taken by International Space Station astronauts
CosmoQuest's Image Detective, a NASA-funded citizen science project, invites the public to identify Earth features in photographs taken by astronauts from the International Space Station (ISS).
Citizen scientists are asked to help identify geographic features (natural or human-made) in astronaut photographs and then determine the location on Earth where the photo is centered. CosmoQuest is led by principal investigator Dr. Pamela L. Gay from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP).
You can become part of Image Detective by visiting http://cosmoquest.org/ImageDetective.
"The astronauts' photos of Earth are visually stunning, but more than that, they can be used to study our changing Earth," says Dr. Gay, the Director of Technology and Citizen Science at the ASP. "From erupting volcanoes, to seasonal flooding, these images document the gradual changes that happen to our landscape. The trick is, we need to make these images searchable, and that means taking the time to sort through, analyze, and label (add metadata) the unidentified images within the database of 1.5 million plus photos."
Originally developed by NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) science experts within the JSC Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Division, Image Detective's upgrade provides new and improved options for citizen scientists to help enhance NASA's growing online database of astronaut imagery, also referred to as Crew Earth Observations (CEO) imagery.
Image Detective lets anyone with an Internet connection advance the usefulness of NASA's vast catalogue of astronaut imagery. Since construction began in 2000, more than 200 people from 18 nations have visited the International Space Station (ISS). Orbiting just 250 miles above the Earth, this platform provides astronaut photographers an amazing platform for imaging our planet. As part of their day-to-day work on the ISS, astronauts are asked by the ESRS team at Johnson Space Center to take numerous photos of our planet Earth's land surface, oceans, and atmosphere, including impressive auroral displays. Crews also take images of other solar system bodies, such as the Moon, planets, and stars. These images now need carefully labeled.
Image Detective spreads the significant work necessary to label all of the images out to citizen scientists across the world. "This is a unique, powerful, and beautiful image data set that has already yielded excellent research science. But the data set needs the many eyes and minds of citizen scientists to reach its full potential as a publicly available, searchable catalog," said Dr. Jennifer Grier, a Senior Scientist and Senior Education and Communication Specialist at Planetary Science Institute (PSI) and CosmoQuest's lead support scientist. "With the additions that citizen scientists as detectives can make, professional research scientists will be able to conduct more research into our changing world, and do so much more effectively."
Your efforts can enhance NASA's database of images taken by International Space Station Astronauts!

Entering the Haydenshapes retail store the first thing that strikes you are the polygons. They're everwhere. Sleek and modern six-sided designer furniture pieces befitting one of the most commercially successful surfboard designers in Australia today. However, the polygons don't extend to the surfboards hanging from the walls, the standout being an immaculate 9'6'' Pe'ahi gun, complete with yacht inspired hull and deep side cut tail, jet black from nose to tail. Hayden greets me with a smile and he's got plenty to smile about. This is his vision come to life, an uncompromising blend of innovation and aesthetic that's earned the 28-year-old success in a game notoriously difficult to crack. It's a journey he's now compelled to share in his first book New Wave Vision.
SW: There seems to be no limit to the ideas springing out of your factory. Where do you find your inspiration?
HC: I take a lot from outside surfing, and a lot from riding the boards and ideas myself. From snowboarding, yacht designs, or working with guys like Naval Architect Andy Dovell, or shaper Mick Mackie who put me onto side cuts. Then you bring some of those ideas into your own mind.

A book by a shaper at the top of his game is a rare treat, what were you hoping to share with New Wave Vision? I really wanted to show an honest account of being a young person in business. There aren't too many books in this space. When you pick up the Richard Branson or Elon Musk style books, that huge top line vision isn't always relatable to a small business owner or young creative. So I wanted to write a book about my experience over the past two decades. This book is not about money – surfboards are never going to be a billion dollar product – it's about having a vision and a passion. For people who don't know anything about surfboards the book is an opportunity to enlighten them about our industry. Beyond that, there are insights from Tony Hawk, Oakley and RED Digital cinema founder Jim Jannard, Vissla founder Paul Naude and Noel Gordon who co-founded Google Maps. These are real journeys that go into building something from the ground up.
What about mistakes and failures? How did those scenarios mold you? I was pretty naïve jumping into surfboard technologies at 24 years old, when I launched FutureFlex. I knew I had a unique product, and had the confidence to go at that with a business model and sell them at $895, while every other board was selling for $650 to $750, however our initial launch happened six months before the GFC hit and as a result, retailers were put off from investing in new surfboard technologies. That hit me hard and I had to adapt quickly. We decided to license out the FutureFlex technology to other brands like Lost, Chilli, Al Merrick, Rusty and soon all the major brands were building boards in FutureFlex. By then we had a broad network but it also meant I had to put my own brand on the back seat to provide a service with my technology under everyone's feet. But in the long run this model wasn't enough to sustain a brand and a business and I nearly went bankrupt.
At what point did you decide to have another crack at your own brand? We came through the GFC and retailers began to gain confidence. We scaled up, and setup a manufacturing partner over in Thailand, which proved to be a great challenge. When it's your name on those boards, there's no compromise, and sharing that vision and building trust with staff takes time. The first batch was not where I wanted it to be and I ended up snapping hundreds of boards in half. I flew out the next day to a tradeshow in Orlando with no boards except one Craig Hypto that he rode at Teahupoo for the Code Red swell. That was it. Me in a massive tradeshow booth meeting US retailers for the first time with just one board – and I didn't stop talking for three days. Those were important conversations to have, like "Wow there's some 27-year-old kid telling me he's not showing any boards because he's not happy with the quality." I put 10 years of reputation on the line there.
After that I spent nearly 8 months ripping into the production line to get the quality to a two per cent variance, which is massive in our industry. Making boards is still very much a hands-on task, and the team at Cobra, over in Thailand, have been shaping, laminating and sanding for twenty plus years. They can replicate the world's best designs over and over again and once they're taught the process they get it down to a fine art.
SEE ALSO: Did You See How Good The Mentawais Was This Year?
You've dedicated New Wave Vision to young ideas. What do you expect shapers will take away from this book? I think that smaller shapers should really be more nimble and design unique customs which the bigger brands simply can't replicate at their scale. There's such an emotional connection to surfboards. I have that with my favourite boards, and consumers will always find that personal value in something that's customised.
Do you see the bigger surfboard manufacturers moving in this direction? It's tricky, we're one of the few industries where the core product is not made by the leading brands like Billabong, Quiksilver or Volcom. Why can't a surfboard company be as strong as those guys? The fundamental product for us has always been the surfboard, because without it we are no longer surfing. You might get a bit cold without your wetty, but you can still surf without one. In every other sport, whether it be car racing or golf, the core product is produced by the key players of their industry and I feel that shapers need to play a bigger role here.
Your book mentions resistance to change along the way. Resistance from who? You've got to accept the good and the bad because it's actually a healthy thing. If you can't accept criticism then you probably shouldn't be in business. But sometimes this can really test you. Last year a shaper from the 80s copied a board of ours and hosted an event somewhere near New York so that he could chainsaw it as a public 'sacrifice' to a crowd of people – maybe 10 or so who showed up. I guess it was some sort of weird xenophobic protest to help him revive his own brand and get some attention. We've found this kind of adversity mostly comes from competitors who resist in seeing the industry progress, because they probably aren't leading the change themselves and are threatened by it. For me, it's about creating a better product.
Do you have a business philosophy? There's always risk in business, and you've got to use the risk as a motivator. The cool thing about today's world is that technology has enabled the craft businesses to enter the global marketplace more easily, and it's put a lot of emphasis on creativity and aesthetics. People want that in their lives now. I feel like that's a big reason why surfboard technologies are becoming more acceptable, it's just pure timing of the Internet which has enabled small businesses to go global at a very low cost. Before the Internet, you had no idea what the guy up in Portland was building or the little trend that was happening up in Italy. Now you see everything.
You've got Craig, Creed and now Nate Tyler and Dylan Graves in your stable. That's a dream team right there. How do you choose the right rider? And how integral is your team to the bigger picture? I like working with a tight crew of surfers who inspire me creatively. You don't need a team of 50 pro-surfers to validate your brand. Craig Anderson was 15 years old when he joined the team, he was probably sitting 30th on the pro junior series but when I turned up at Merewether and saw him surf a wave, his style, and sense of approach completely floored me. One of the key marketing pillars for us is allowing the different personalities of our team to shine through.
The way that I work with Creed on a clip and his boards, is very different to how Craig works. It may look like they're having a great time going on surf trips, but I can tell you now they are all crazy hard workers. They'll stay in the water for ten hours a day just because they're not happy with their clips. Craig is one of the most conscientious surfers out there in that regard. These guys respect what we're trying to do as well, and we create these really good synergies from that relationship. That's what matters to me with my riders. A lot of people throw out comments like "Oh the Hypto Krypto is only popular because of their marketing." Which is interesting, because you'd say that the best form of marketing is winning World Titles on the WSL, but I don't have World Title surfers on my team. Word of mouth drives our success more than anything else.

Biologists in the Great Smoky Mountains say there is a bright side to the recent spell of frigid temperatures. The deep freeze is a life-saver for some of the mightiest hemlock trees in the Smokies.
"Definitely, these cold extremes help with the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid," said NPS forester Jesse Webster. "It will not get rid of them completely, but we will take every bit of help we can get."
The hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) invaded the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2002. The tiny insect from Asia has killed millions of hemlock trees in the Eastern U.S. The pest gets its name from the white woolly coating that surrounds and protects the nymphs while they feast on hemlock trees in the winter.
"Adelgids are a little bit of a different insect. They are completing a lot of their life cycle during the winter. Most insects are not active in the winter," said Webster. "But it can get too cold for them. They have not survived as well in the northern parts of the country. You start seeing mortality when it gets around 4 or 5 degrees Fahrenheit."
The national park is able to treat some hemlocks with chemicals, but terrain only allows crews to reach 15 percent of the hemlocks in the Smokies. Predatory beetles were also introduced to combat the HWA and have brought some balance to the pest population.

Chapuis et Chapuis Pet Nat
Regular price $56.00
Pet nat with two years of bottle age out of Burgundy! Hell yes. Gorgeous, hazy sunset pink in colour. Fun, rather wild and untamed beast. Biscuity dryness intermingled with underlying freshness of pinot noir fruit. There's elegance for sure, but funk and strangeness too. Intriguing and well worth the trip for fans of the left-of-centre.

Gallup, Inc. lists the main reasons employees leave their jobs — the pursuit of career advancement, higher wages, better benefits, different company culture or job fit — although it could be argued that a few, or even most of these factors boil down to whether staffers sense their organizations value them.
After all, it is possible for careers to advance within a company, pay increases to be obtainable, and staffers to be encouraged in their own unique talents and strengths.
Maybe mattering matters the most.
There are 12 components of employee engagement listed in Gallup's State of the American Workplace report, 2017. Number eight is as follows: "The mission or purpose of my company makes me feel my job is important."
Below, staffers who have solid occupational and professional careers comment on work environments where they felt they could make an impact, and knew they mattered.
Knowing that you matter starts within
For Sarah Zimmerman, communications coordinator at the Food Fortification Initiative, mattering is straightforward and compelling.
"My work involves getting countries to add folic acid to wheat flour, maize flour, and (or) rice to prevent birth defects like spina bifida," she said. "I have a poster of a healthy child and the number of these birth defects prevented every year where grains are fortified. That reminds me that my work is worthwhile."
Inga, a business office manager, looks for opportunities to help brighten the day for others, even outside of her immediate workspace.
"I work with seniors and when I can make the daily living a 'wow moment' with their unexpressed needs — getting coffee when their cup is empty, or turning on the fireplace because they are unable to," she said.
Staffers also mentioned giving work projects their best skill and effort.
"In accounting, it's about knowing that I'm meeting all deadlines accurately and with pride." Inga added.
Graphic designer Loy Mach is the director of design and communications at Northern Nevada Regional Multiple Listing Service (NNRMLS). She sees hard work rewarded when looking over finalized projects.
"Paying close attention to our brand and holding myself to high standards in design helps us produce an excellent company image," she said.
Andrew Daniels, a technical trainer of automation skills and processes at a large corporation is fulfilled as he discovers how his efforts are producing results for both personnel and the company.
"I feel like my work matters when I hear success stories of individuals or teams that are able to reduce and eliminate downtime," he said. "The other thing is how excited and engaged people are when they are learning and how it makes them feel valued and empowered."
Mike, a media, events and communications professional agrees.
"When you train employees in a process and they in turn take it and make it their own, paying it forward to others," he said.
He also sees the atmosphere most conducive to mattering as an environment where employees feel safe to express views; belonging and contributing.
"Work is an extension of life," he said. "When staff feel they can talk freely without approval (or disapproval), that's comforting. People talk about good teams — that's the basic building block."
The certainty that you matter may need external confirmation
The internal spark of difference-making may dim with time, though, when there is little reinforcement from the employer. Acknowledgement may include financial compensation, praise, perks, and awards.
Adrienne, a project manager, believes verbal or written appreciation is best when it is specific. In addition, she acknowledges and respects her organization for the investment it makes in employees.
"I feel my work matters when my company continues to invest time, training, and recognizes everything that I accomplish, encouraging me and supporting me to grow within the company," she said.
Mach and Zimmerman agreed that a combination of spoken praise like "Great work" or "Thank you," and financial incentives most effectively recognize staffers for their labor and achievements.
"I see the fruit of my design endeavors when my team members come to me for help in their projects and praise for campaigns we conduct," Mach said.
Daniels views financial reward as a key way that companies let staffers know they are appreciated and recognized for their efforts.
"I received a raise and title change at a time when very few people were within my organization — because leadership really felt like I mattered and needed to be recognized and rewarded for my hard work and impact," he said.
Community college professor Dan Bouweraerts finds positive confirmation playing out in team activities, especially when he can voice ideas and be a part of discussions affecting work processes.
"When I see things that I've brought up in committees go forward and are useful," he said.
Perks such as pay raises and a pleasant office space are not the topmost factors for him, but are important, nonetheless.
"It shows that we matter to our communities and state as a whole," he added.
Office manager Inga said that the work environment most conducive to employees feeling valued is one where employees receive both general expressions of thanks, specifically worded praise, financial rewards, and recognition awards.
Media professional Mike, a photographer and videographer, added that the more varied ways staffers are acknowledged for their work, the better.
"Workers make a company," he said. "They're the lifeblood. Recognize them timely and frequently."
Other methods that organizations can use to show staffers they matter are offering a degree of decision-making independence and providing professional development opportunities.
"My company listens to me," Adrienne said. "They hired me for my experience and expertise. They continue to invest in me and listen to me when I make suggestions to improve processes. They may not implement everything I suggest, but they take the time to listen to me and they care about what I think."
Individuals describe mattering with common terminology
To matter is to:
- Make a difference
- Experience that you are important
- Have an impact
- Perceive you have worth
- To be essential
- Sense that you count
- Contribute a unique skill or strength
- Feel valued for what you bring to a team
- Are irreplaceable in a certain way
Psychologist Abraham Maslow developed a theory, the hierarchy of needs, that is taught in many undergraduate psychology courses. It places human needs into a pyramid, with physiological and safety needs at the base; belongingness and esteem in the middle; and self-actualization and fulfillment at the point.
Business strategist and Forbes contributor Christine Comaford describes the first middle level of belongingness as an environment where individuals feel equal in a tight-knit tribe, moving in a common direction toward goals. In the second middle level, she adds the term "mattering" to Maslow's self-esteem label.
"Mattering means each of us contributes individually in a unique way," she wrote. "We all make a difference."
Mattering has several parts
Chester Elton, author of the best-selling book, "All In," was interviewed in 2019 by executive coach and speaker Marshall Goldsmith, Ph.D. Elton said that when employees see they are valued, they are more engaged at work. In high performance cultures, he found that employees believe the tasks they perform matter, they know their job makes a difference, and the organization notices and acknowledges them.
"That's how you get people all in, right," he said in the interview. "I've got — 'I know what we do and how we do it, but I know why we do it and I believe that it's gonna make a difference no matter where I am in the organization. I can connect the dots to what I do and how it makes the world a better place.'"
In fact, for this WorkplaceStory report it was almost unanimous; all staffers surveyed except for one agreed that in the work situation where they felt most valued by their leaders, fellow employees in various departments and at different levels were generally aware of the "hows and whys" of their assigned tasks, and knew that what they did made a difference in the world.
And this is where meaningfulness comes into play.
Meaningfulness has an impact on satisfaction
"A job's meaningfulness — a sense that the work has a broader purpose — is consistently and overwhelmingly ranked by employees as one of the most important factors driving job satisfaction," wrote Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz, reporter for the Chicago Tribune. "It's the linchpin of qualities that make for a valuable employee: motivation, job performance and a desire to show up and stay. Meaningful work needn't be lofty. People find meaning picking up garbage, installing windows and selling electronics — if they connect with why it matters."
Elejalde-Ruiz interviewed DePaul University associate professor Jaclyn Jensen, who teaches in the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship. Professor Jensen said in the article that research points to meaningfulness being based on five elements. Three important factors are that an individual can use a variety of skills, has an impact by helping others, and is able to see the end product of his or her efforts throughout, Elejalde-Ruiz wrote. The two other parts are being able to have some autonomy on the job and receive constructive feedback.
Glenview, Illinois-based Abt Electronics Inc. has about 1,400 employees. It scored high for meaningfulness in the Chicago Tribune's 2017 Top Workplaces survey sponsored by the newspaper and conducted by Energage, LLC. Abt's human resources director Bart McGuinn listed ways the company acknowledges its employees, such as letting staffers know when customers have praised them, and providing bonuses — he also noted that two of the aspects he observed when joining the company was a lack of hierarchy and the open-door availability of executives, Elejalde-Ruiz added.
Staffers can also increase their own sense of mattering
Individuals who begin to doubt whether they matter in the workplace may decide to take a self-inventory, writing down or tallying the small impacts they have made — smiling and welcoming a client, accomplishing a complex task with precision, or admiring a colleague's work.
Leadership coach and motivational speaker Kathy Caprino lists examples of these beneficial actions on her website, such as teaching someone a skill, expressing compassion, or mentoring a new co-worker.
The self-inventory exercise she recommends will most likely show more than one positive act — it will probably reveal many.
"We matter in a lasting way because each word and each deed and action we put out into the world has huge ripple effects that extend very far, even into eternity," Caprino wrote.
Educator Angela Maiers said in her TEDx Talk "You Matter" that one of the lessons of mattering is to trust another individual to do something that is vital to a project or effort, and to count on them.
"Depending on somebody is hard because you can always do it better yourself and you have to give up control and you have to give up trust and you have to look somebody else in the eye," she said. "And don't just say to them, 'I think you are important, I think you are pretty cool, I notice something good about you.' You have to say, 'You are essential.' Being important is really nice, but being essential is a game changer. Knowing somebody needs you to accomplish something significant, because the root of the word — the root of the word 'matter' is substance."
Mattering, in this instance, can be a type of task added to an individual's "to do" list.
"When I think of people who made the biggest impact in my life, it was not their expertise or accomplishments that provided me with the direction, guidance and reassurance I needed to accomplish my goals," wrote Maiers on her blog angelamaiers.com. "It was their sincere belief in me. They let me know through their words and actions that I mattered. …Mattering is a universal human need."
A self-directed outlook toward mattering may even begin to develop into a naturally vibrant stance — the put-together look when an individual walks tall, reflecting "I know that, absolutely and positively, I matter … and you matter."

ReUSE MN has been getting ready to work at the Minneapolis Home and Remodeling Show at US Bank Stadium January 27-29th.ReUSE MN members Empty the Nest and the University of Minnesota Reuse Center have donated chairs for artists to reimagine for the show's Upcycle Challenge.Other members, including Better Futures Minnesota, will be at the show managing the Upcycle Challenge auction of the chairs for the benefit of ReUSE MN.
Local vintage shop Upsy Daisy created a Prince themed chair for attendees to bid on!
This is the first year that remodeling is part of the show's mission and we're excited to promote reuse for major home projects. See below for a blog entry we're re-posting from the Better Futures. It describes how "deconstruction" and reuse are better options than demolition and material recycling.
Across Minnesota, older homes and barns are being demolished to make way for new buildings or farmland. When buildings are demolished, harmful chemicals and pollutants—like lead and asbestos—are released in the air. In addition, when buildings such as old barns are burned, the old-growth wood is not only wasted, but it produces noxious smoke that's harmful to human and environmental health.
Recently, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has been trying to educate the public about the growing issue of demolishing and burning buildings. The organization suggests that demolished building materials, such as concrete and wood, be turned over to specially permitted facilities for proper disposal.
Yet a better solution is gaining steam across the country: deconstruction and reuse. Many buildings, especially those built before 1978, contain harmful lead and asbestos. Deconstruction carefully removes all building materials for safe recycling and reuse–greatly reducing the amount of waste in the landfills and avoiding hazardous plumes of lead and asbestos that occur from typical demolition. In addition, deconstruction supports public health by reducing the additional greenhouse-gas emissions that come from adding to the landfill.
On average, construction and demolition materials account for a quarter of the waste in all landfills. In Minnesota, more than 80 percent of the 1.6 million tons of construction and demolition waste was landfilled in 2013. According to the EPA, for each ton of construction and demolition waste (2,000 pounds) that goes into a landfill, 2.79 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gases, including methane and CO2, are released into the atmosphere.
Through deconstruction with a specially trained crew, as much as 90 percent of of this waste can be recycled or reused, and sold below retail cost in places like Better Futures Minnesota's ReUse Warehouse.
Additional tips for reusing building materials during a remodeling project can be found below!

PORTLAND, ME -- Grammar is hard y'all. You've got things like they're, their, and there, and to, two, and too. Throwing in punctuation just makes it that much more confusing! However, commas will get you every time, especially the Oxford comma.
A company in Maine is being sued by some of their employees because of one pesky little comma. Truck drivers for Oakhurst Dairy were denied overtime because state law says certain activities don't qualify, like "packing for shipment or distribution."
The drivers sued because there isn't a comma after the word shipment, which makes some think it basically reads like this: "packing for shipment" and "packing for distribution" doesn't, but just distributing the products does. Guess what? The truck drivers only do distribution.
The court ruled with the drivers which will cost Oakhurst Dairy around $10 million.
Not too far away from the comma drama, a bill was passed in Illinois that will require students in elementary and high schools to learn cursive writing. Several representatives agree that learning cursive helps kids improve comprehension and thinking skills. Not to mention creating a bomb signature when they're older.
Whether it's cursive or commas, bottom line is to listen to your English teachers.

From time to time we have no network connection, however, we want to use StarTeam offline to get informationn like what is the file version of the local file or has it been allready edited etc...
This is being seriously considered for 16.2. Planning for the next release is about 1 month away (late April 2017). There's been enough high votes for this functionality. It will take a lot of effort, but given the enormous support for this functionality we're looking to see if it can be added to 16.2 (which is planned for Oct/Nov 2017).

For engineers who often have to switch between online and offline work this would be very helpful

Can't login to Evernote through Scannable
Brian D. posted a topic in Scannable IssuesI created my Evernote account by logging in with my Google account. When I try to login to Evernote inside of the Scannable app, it does not accept my gmail address and password as my Evernote credentials (I use a password keeper so there isn't a possibility that I'm entering the password incorrectly). There isn't any option in Scannable to link through Google either. If my gmail account and password are somehow not my Evernote user name and password, what the heck is? I'm not interested in resetting the password since it's literally working everywhere but Scannable.
Scannable for Android?
Sansel posted an idea in Scannable RequestsHi, scannable is amazing, I am using scannable software in İpad, but at the same time I have android devices, what about android? Do you release scannable for android version. Thanks for everything
ANSWERED Is Premium required for Scannable OCR support?
peter206 posted a topic in Scannable IssuesI could not find this mentioned in the Scannable product info page. It appears Scannable PDFs are just images. Does Premium unlock OCR capabilities? Is there a way to demo the performance first?
Source scans from Camera Roll
Daren posted a topic in Scannable IssuesI'm curious it is possible to instead of taking photos/scans, but leverage an existing photo in the camera roll as an input to Scannable to leverage it's scale/reshape tools. The application: I attend trade shows and find the presented powerpoints useful. The actual presentation materials are not physically shared with the audience, just projected. Sitting in the audience I take the photo and have a number of slides in my camera roll. The majority of these are trapezodial and would love to leverage scannable to reform the image like it would normally. Then take several of these images to produce an output PDF. Please let me know if this is possible. (or if anyone knows of a good app to take a set of photos of presented slides to reform and make a PDF.) Then I would love to save the OCR'd PDF to Evernote. Thanks, Daren
Sent from Scannable - email subject line
Slingback posted a topic in Scannable IssuesIs there a way to remove the words 'sent from Scannable' from the subject line of emailed scans? I appreciate that Evernote needs to advertise, but it makes emailed scans look less professional and devalues the app. After all, Microsoft doesn't add 'sent by Microsoft Fax & Scan' to every scan sent from their app.
Scannable app cannot sign in to evernote account
starhomeplan posted a topic in Scannable IssuesI downloaded the Scannable app from app store and try to log in to my Evernote account for saving pdf files, but failed several times getting "The service encountered an error. Please try again later" I have tried several times to remove the apps (scannable and evernote) and download them again but still doesn't help. Not sure if there's any setting problem that I didn't notice before or what? Phone: iPhone 7Plus Version: ios 11.2.5
Scans have all disappeared
StuartM posted a topic in Scannable IssuesI was introduced to scannable as a way to capture important documents last week so I could have them with me when I needed them. I have scanned a number of documents over the last week and was able to access them yesterday, however today when I opened up the app, all of the documents has disappeared from the tray. Is this an expected behaviour and if so, under what conditions will it happen? Whilst looking through the web site today, I have learnt what the approve button does (I was not aware of this before and had not approved the docs I had scanned since they seemed fine and kept appearing in the tray every time I used it). I also had not connected it to my evernote or any other online accounts yet, but had assumed I could use it offline only. Have I done something wrong or is this a bug? If its a user error, then it would be great to know what I missed since its stunningly inconvenient to lose everything. Looking at the app store reviews, it does seem that there are others who have had a similar problem. I am using it on an iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2 and Scannable 1.0
Request: Silent mode.
dorayasu posted an idea in Scannable RequestsI really want selectable silent mode. iPhone 7's speaker has very big shutter sound which cannot be turnd off at all. It is so noisy that I cannot scan a lot of papers at night.
Scannable Document Not Saving in Evernote
BSokal posted a topic in Scannable IssuesI have a iPhone X. I scanned 38 documents on my iPhone in Scannable. Scannable indicates "Saved to Evernote, Photos". I am able to view the documents in my iPhone's camera roll but not in Evernote. I opened Evernote both on my iPhone and my PC but the documents do not show up. Scannable settings show Scannable as the default notebook. I have tried synching but it did not resolve issue. Any help would be appreciated!
Scanable Not Saving Contact Data
BlackSnow posted a topic in Scannable IssuesA few weeks back my scanable app, running on an IPhone7+ on IOS 11.0.3 decided to stop saving contact details to my iphone when requested. It will scan a card, pull in the Linked-In data and then try and save contact, but not complete the process. No amount of uninstalling and reinstalling the app appears to correct this. The app has the relevant permissions and worked fine for several years. However now Save Contact gets pressed and nothing ever gets saved, largely defeating the purpose of scanning. Has anyone had this happen and any ideas on how to fix this? I'm not seeing other people reporting it, which is concerning! Thanks. -Scott

Add option to turn off enhancement
eyeball posted an idea in Scannable RequestsI frequent use for scanning apps for me is when visiting relatives and looking through old pictures, I'll pull out my phone and "scan" the ones I like and might want a copy of. Scannable works great for this, but in many cases the auto-adjust feature meant to make text more readable messes up the picture of the photograph. I can't find any setting to let me turn this off. Please add one to a future update. Thanks
Enhancement on Scans
TechBarber posted an idea in Scannable RequestsFor the most part, the way a scan is "enhanced" after a photo is taken is quite helpful. There have been occasions though where I'll scan a piece of my kid's artwork and when the enhancement kicks in it totally ruins the scan. Is there a way to toggle the enhancement on/off?
ANSWERED Why are my scans saving as business cards?
pchriley posted a topic in Scannable IssuesIf I scan a document (say a sales receipt) that has contact details on, such as name and phone number,, Scannable by default scans it as a business card, when I really want it to be a standard document. There doesn't seem to be a way of changing this.
Adding tags when saving to Evernote
jdoree posted an idea in Scannable RequestsSo, I can scan documents and save to Evernote but I can't add tags to what I'm saving? Am I missing something? Am I not looking in the right place to add tags? I must be just not seeing how to do this because I can't imagine you would release this app without that feature. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Any way to stop auto rotate?
AmirM posted a topic in Scannable IssuesMany times when I scan documents (usually hebrew docs) the app will auto rotate them upside down and then I need to manually adjust each page. Is there a way to prevent this? don't understand why there is no setting available to enable/disable this function.
Evernote Scannable SDK for iOS and Android
HusseinYahfoufi posted an idea in Scannable RequestsAre there any plans (or is it possible to send a request to the right team) to have an Evernote Scannable SDK? The scanning software you've created is quite remarkable, I've been looking for a good solution to incorporate into our app and can't really find something quite as modern and good as this.
Receipt Sum Calculation
Margarida Afonso posted an idea in Scannable RequestsThe request is to be able in Evernote to add up the total amount from the receipts scanned (ScanSnap ).
Using Scannable 2.2 on an iPhone 7 running iOS 11.3.1. I used to encounter occasional crashes, but now have not been able to attempt any kind of image sharing or editing without the app crashing. As a result, I cannot access several images which I collected in Scannable. I have tried upgrading iOS and the app, closing and restarting the app, closing all apps, shutting down and restarting the phone. I have not yet tried removing and re-installing the app, as I fear losing the images I have scanned. Any advice on how to extract my scanned images would be very much appreciated. I don't have these anywhere else and they are rather important.
Save multiple scans individually
SimonH posted an idea in Scannable RequestsHi I love Scannable, and it immediately found a spot on my iPhone home screen and I use it most every day. However, unless I'm missing something obvious (or not so obvious) which is entirely possible I can't see a way in which multiple scans in Scannable can be saved one at a time to EN - it saves everything sitting there in a multi-page PDF. I mostly use Scannable for one off single page scans and I'd love to be able to select and save a scan one image at a time. Thanks Simon
Scannable still under development?
Maddhin posted an idea in Scannable RequestsIs the app still under active development? There wasn't a update for almost 1.5 years. At least on iOS. The business card scanning feature went into the EN app already and for the scanning of documents there is a bunch of other apps out there which offer more features. I wonder whether it makes sense to stick with Scannable. For some reason I always thought Scannable is the best option to use with EN but the app is so slow now and especially syncing with EN takes forever... Doesn't feel it works well with iOS11.
Australian Scannable User
seven_neves posted a topic in Scannable IssuesHi All, I have been a premium Evernote user for many years and I recently decided to download Scannable to scan my customer's business cards. I like the integration so it works for me, however the way the phone numbers are stored are pretty frustrating for an Aussie user - who typically use this formats: Mobile numbers: xxxx xxx xxx Landline numbers (xx) xxxx xxxx Being US-based, it's creating numbers in Evernote (and my phone) in these types of formats, which are doing my head in: Mobile: (xxx) xxx-xxxx Landline: (xxx) xxx-xxxx Don't even get me started if there's a +61 on the card somewhere - it's giving me different results each time - is there a setting buried in the app somewhere that allows me to choose my preferred format?
Scanable Integration with 3rd Party Apps
Silverware posted a topic in Scannable IssuesI have an app that I would like to launch Scanable and allow my users to scan a photo. Then have Scanable pass back captured image. We worked with an other developer, Turboscan, to allow this. Does Scanable have similar support? If not, if the Sanable developers are reading this would they like to work together to add such a feature. -Scott
Scannable Para Android
Maurício Araújo posted a topic in Scannable IssuesOlá Boa tarde, Usando o forum pela primeira vez, ;-)) Há scannable para Android e quando sairá? Abraço
Scannable has told me I reached my limit of scans saved to Evernote. This is disturbing since I thought I was saving one scanned document, but instead I was saving everything in my tray. For the most part, only the first document ever shows up in Evernote. I have deleted most of these as they are useless to have duplicates. However, the pop up tells me that I can send scans in email. Well, scannable will not send any emails, nor will it allow me to shar. The app is rendered usel as at the moment and I have wasted an afternoon trying to get two documents to email. I use an iPad. It has no t been very user friendly, but I was succcessful 2 days ago when I first installed the app. I now need to find another scanner app. There is no way to contact Help. I cannot find a way to submit a ticket. I have not found this problem in the community.
