Office tenants
Choosing and managing an energy efficient office space can result in significant financial savings for businesses.
If you own your building, energy efficiency improvements can increase your property value. It can also attract higher rental returns if you were to lease your property as tenants are increasingly seeking to occupy energy-efficient buildings.
If you're looking to lease building space, you can reduce your energy costs by 25% by leasing energy-efficient space and implementing energy saving initiatives. For example, by choosing a tenancy with energy-efficient lighting, businesses can save between $30,000 (for a 500m2 space) and $140,000 (for a 2000m2 space) over the term of a 5 year lease.
Consider negotiating a green lease. With this type of lease, the tenant and the building owner look at ways to jointly reduce the energy usage of the premises, which can often result in a financial win for both parties.
CitySwitch, a free sustainability program supporting office-based businesses to improve energy and waste efficiency, has developed a range of case studies to demonstrate how commercial offices have improved their energy efficiency, including:
- Psaros – the first mid-tier property developer in WA to create a carbon neutral head office.
- Exergy – achieved a 6-star National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) rating without Green Power.
- ACORPP – engaged staff in their office move and other energy-efficiency improvements.
- Viridis – the team of this small design agency involved their team in the choice of a sustainable office space.
- WT Sustainability – used in house skills to integrate sustainability principles in the design and construction of their new office space.
- Steensen Varming – put in place a green lease with their landlord.
- AMP Capital – encouraged staff to compete to reduce energy and improve recycling
Other resources include:
Business Energy Advice Program - offers free one-one-one consultations with a business expert, providing tailored advice on how to cut energy costs for small businesses in the professional services industry.
Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) program – provides energy efficiency information for commercial office spaces.
Building Energy-Efficiency Register – a search tool for finding the most energy-efficient property to purchase or rent.
NABERS – offers an overview on how ratings from 0 to 6 stars are assessed and how to self-assess buildings for free, or find a professional to conduct an accredited rating.
Calculating Cool tool – as well as its calculator, the site includes advice on how to benchmark the efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in relation to best practice as well as to understand energy standards and energy ratings for appliances and equipment, including labelling.
Energy Rating – includes information on energy standards and energy ratings for appliances and equipment, including labelling to enable businesses to compare appliances and equipment and find the most energy efficient products.
Supply chain and logistics
Energy is one of the biggest operating costs in the supply chain and logistics sector. Improving the energy efficiency of transport operations and warehouses can result in a more profitable and competitive business.
The Supply Chain and Logistics Association of Australia (SCLAA) website provides energy efficient solutions for Australian transport and logistics SMEs.
SCLAA has also produced guides on energy efficiency for the supply chain and logistics sector. These guides cover topics such as the importance of data, and identifying, evaluating, and implementing energy efficiency opportunities.
See the transport pages for more energy efficiency opportunities, case studies and resources.

Workshop Theme
Optimisation problems that involve polynomials are currently receiving a great deal of attention, due to their generality, their challenging nature and their wide range of practical applications. These two events provide an opportunity for researchers to learn more about this new, exciting and growing field.
The Summer School will begin in the morning of Monday 15 July and finish at lunchtime on Wednesday 17 July. It will consist of a series of tutorials from five internationally respected invited speakers on the following themes:
- Some Recent Uses of Convex Programming in Data Science
Emmanuel Candès (Stanford University)
- Nonlinear Semidefinite Optimization
Michal Kocvara (University of Birmingham)
- Algebraic and Geometric Ideas in the Theory of Discrete Optimisation
Jesús De Loera (University of California, Davis)
- Semidefinite Programming and its Feasible Sets
Tim Netzer (Leipzig University)
- Convex Algebraic Geometry
Bernd Sturmfels (University of California, Berkeley)
The Workshop will begin at lunchtime on Wednesday 17 July and finish in the afternoon on Friday 19 July. It will consist of a series of contributed talks, and a poster session for PhD students and post-docs.
People who wish to speak or present a poster are invited to submit a short abstract. Abstracts and posters on all aspects of polynomial optimisation (e.g. theory, applications, algorithms and software) will be welcomed. The abstracts will undergo a light and informal refereeing process, purely to ensure that they are within the scope of the workshop.

Fallon Youth Baseball had arguably its best all-star season in Babe Ruth last year and three young coaches look to continue that trend in this week's state tournaments.
Fallon will send all-star teams in all three age groups — prep (13-under), 14-under and 15-under — beginning today as they will try to advance to the regionals like one of last year's clubs.
The 14-under won the state tournament last year in Fallon and competed in the regional in Arizona, while the prep club battled back in the consolation bracket despite losing to Sparks in the championship. The 15-under team went 1-2 with its win against Fernley as that age group has moved up to the high school's junior varsity and varsity programs.
But 2013 has a different and younger feel to it.
Three former Greenwave players guide this year's group of all-stars with Danny Bright (2008) coaching the 13-under, Justin Amos (2002) leading the 14-under and Teryn Smith (2010) heading the 15-under. Bright, Amos and Smith had solid careers with the Greenwave and will rely on their playing experience as well as coaching the younger levels to help Fallon perform well at the state tournament.
Amos, along with assistants Randy McClelland, who coached last year's prep team, and Jeremy Beach, guided the Giants to a first-place finish during the regular season and then won the six-team postseason tournament last month. All three coaches played together for most of their Fallon careers, from Little League to Babe Ruth and high school, and will hope to see their playing success carry over into coaching.
Fallon faces the host, South Reno on Saturday at 3 p.m. in the double-elimination round with the winner playing Sparks on Sunday at 9 a.m. The losers of both games play at 6 p.m. with the championship set for Monday at noon. All games are played at Jack Tighe, which is located off Moana Lane in Reno behind the vacant lot that housed the old minor-league stadium.
Bright and Smith, on the other hand, experienced coaching this season for the first time after playing college ball.
Bright played at Lassen and then in Kentucky before returning home while Smith threw one season at Western Nevada before suffering a career-ending injury in Michigan. But both young coaches will be using their experience as players and observations from their high school and college coaches to help Fallon win this summer.
Along with trying to win the tournament, Smith hopes his team can carry over its experience into high school.
"We've run our practices. When they go to high school, it's team oriented," said Smith, who's assisted by Nikko Parsley. "We wanted to stress that point and that you understand everything you do, you do as a team."
Smith's squad plays Sparks and South Tahoe at South Tahoe's Babe Ruth field today in pool play and then takes on North Valleys on Saturday at 10 a.m. The single-elimination tournament starts Saturday night with the Nos. 1 and 4 seeds playing at 4 p.m. and the Nos. 2 and 3 at 7 p.m. The title game is Sunday at noon.
For Bright, he wants to keep the team involved just like his career in Fallon as a youngster.
"We've been working hard. We're excited and ready to get going," he said. "They're eager to get on the field. They're practicing every day and we got a great bunch."
Fallon meets South Tahoe today at Jack Tighe at noon in pool play where the winner faces the winner of South Reno-Sparks at 6 p.m. The losers play each other at 3 p.m.
Teams will be seeded for the double-elimination tournament with the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds squaring off on Saturday at 9 a.m., followed by the Nos. 2 and 3 teams at noon. The consolation is at 6 p.m. while the winners play Sunday at noon. The championship is Monday at 9 a.m.
"They know it's not going to be easy," said Bright, who's assisted by Dillon Hagen. "They know they have to go out there and compete. They know from previous years that the Reno all-stars are pretty good. I'm very excited to coach this group of kids. It's a very solid group of kids."
Unlike from when they played in Babe Ruth, the three coaches will see a much smaller field of teams in the tournament.
Teams from across the region would participate in all-stars but because of travel ball, high school summer ball and the economy, the number has drastically shrunk.
Reno West, which fuels McQueen and Reno, is not competing this summer after it had two teams last year. South Reno has only two teams this year while Fallon and Sparks are the only programs fielding all three.
Elko, Yerington, Carson and Fernley are nowhere to be seen. Elko disbanded its membership this season and is playing a recreational league, while Carson ran out of funding and relies solely on its Little League program.
"We're starting to see Babe Ruth slowly getting there," Bright said about the program dissipating in the region. "Either way to me, as long as they're playing one or the other, it's good. It keeps you in shape. I see travel baseball overtaking Babe Ruth."
Staying involved in the game is the biggest thing regardless of the league and all-stars makes that happen for this year's bunch of Fallon baseball players.
"Being good enough to make all-stars is one thing but keeping them involved in the game, it's fun for them. You have to be elite," Bright said.

He's been in office less than a month.
He inherited the worst economic crisis since FDR became president over three-quarters of a century ago.
But FDR did not inherit with that economic crisis a war. Obama inherited two wars along with the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression.
His opposition is virulent and disciplined and obviously out to see him fail (their spokesman Rush even saying that out loud on his angry radio show).
And yet,
and yet,
he signs into law today one of the largest and most ambitious pieces of legislation ever, intended to at least stop or slow down the bleeding of an economy in ruins from the policies of the previous administration (with the help of Phil Gramm in the Clinton administration's Republican controlled Congress).

The Pelosi, Reid, Obama bill that had to be passed without the promised transparency, was greeted by another drop in the stock market today. The market seems to think that the bill is lite on HOPE AND CHANGE for the better. So far we are down approximately 20% since election day. It sure feels like a Carter redux.

The idea that the general economy can be "jump-started" by pouring money into public works is a fallacy.
The idea that by cutting taxes you can eventually balance your budget is also a fallacy.
The idea that by giving money to banks, engines of production can be created, is a fallacy.
We're on the verge of losing two out of three of our major automobile companies. Manufacturing creates jobs, and pours money into the economy. Banks don't. Banks profit from the money generated from production.
All service economy feeds off of money generated from production and distribution. The less money flowing in the economy, the less services are afforded.
If we want a healthy economy, with full employment, we MUST encourage production domestically. It can't be faked. You can't just borrow and borrow against an impossible eventuality. Bankruptcy looms.
The loom of bankruptcy. Creating devastation as a policy.

"The idea that by cutting taxes you can eventually balance your budget is also a fallacy."
JFK, Reagan and George W all cut taxes and tax revenues increased. JFK's tax cut was followed by the "Great Society" and Vietnam spending, wage and price controls of Nixon, stupid "Win Buttons" of Ford and total inepeptitude of Carter. Reagan's Tax Cuts were supposed to be matched with budget cuts which unfortunately never materialized from a hostile Democrat congress. George W's tax cuts were followed by stupid Republican spending increases and earmarks. As has been said before he was derelict in not vetoing Republican earmarks and spending. IE: The Farm Bill and probably the Medicare Bill.
It has been demonstrated three times in the last fifty years, that reducing tax rates actually increases govt. revenues. It has also been demonstrated that politicians of both parties spend too much in order to buy reelection.

Distracted by the latest break-up, she bumps into a car and a man steps out of it – who turns out to be her new boss, Robin Heiden. Heiden has very clear ideas about a relationship and love: both are a game of power and Min-Joon seeks advice from him, as she doesn't want to get dumped again. However, when she starts to treat men like Heiden treats women, she realizes that she prefers her older behaviour, even if that means that she gets dumped again; she doesn't see love as a game of power and never will. Heiden, who has to deal with his own heartbreak, as he loved a woman so much that she had to shoot him to get the message across that she wasn't interested in him, starts to soften at Min-joon's attitude towards life. He eventually falls in love with her and both get into a real relationship and a happy ending of their own.

What can the Obamacare website debacle teach a political marketer, or a brand marketer for that matter? A recent online post by David Heitman, president of a Colorado branding and PR firm, lays out some cogent lessons for campaigns and causes. The first obvious lesson, he writes, is that it's better to launch late than launch badly. The second lesson is to put a premium on critical feedback. Apparently, pre-launch issues with the HealthCare.gov website didn't get to the top, or the top didn't listen. Next, when something goes wrong, remember that the media and the voters can forgive a mistake but not a cover-up. Trying to deny or hide the truth only incites the media and sours supporters. And don't underestimate the intelligence of your audience by trying to mislead in a world of click-speed data sharing. As Heitman points out, when HHS boasted that 15 million visits showed the popularity of HealthCare.gov, Pew Research could quickly counter that 70% of those visitors had insurance and were not serious shoppers. The impact of technical errors on the Obama administration's credibility also underscores the vulnerability of candidates and campaigns to their high-tech advisors. Make sure your campaign has invested in a proven, trustworthy technical team! But perhaps the toughest political lessons are how failure in the details can undermine the larger vision, and how a launch stumble can risk the race.

A Pro DIY-er's Experience With the KonMari 'Tidying Up' MethodPosted in: I'm Moving, Organization
Breaking news: I consider myself to be a DIY-er. And a tidy person. And a bit of a neat freak.
That's all because I live in a small condo in Chicago and I'm forced to purge items regularly in order to maintain a livable environment. Plus, I just love the feeling of paring down a space and getting rid of the clutter. In my opinion, there's nothing more satisfying than a drop-off at Goodwill.
So pop-culturally speaking, I'm in luck. T
I perused the book years ago, but I more recently binged the entire TV show in just a weekend. This prompted me to upturn our house in the pursuit of minimalism.
During this process, I realized that there are some parts of the KonMari method that I absolutely
So with that in mind, here is a long time DIY-er's key takeaways from my experience with the KonMari method.
What I Loved About Tidying Up
There are some parts of Marie's method that really resonated with me and I plan to use these ideas forever as I keep my place tidy.
The Spark Joy Mindset
By now, you've probably heard everyone use the phrase, "spark joy." And that's because it's Marie's threshold you should follow for deciding on keeping items. Test it yourself right now: pick something up in your home. Does it spark joy? If it doesn't, it goes into the giveaway or trash pile.
I've always purged my belongings in the opposite way: categorizing items by the ones I should discard … not the ones I should keep. This notion of piling up stuff I love into one pile is actually pretty powerful. Instead of focusing on the negative, your attention is on the items you truly love and are grateful to have.
For me, this was crucial as I went through all of the odds and ends, DIY materials, and keepsakes we have in our house.
In the past, I've felt guilty getting rid of items because, "I spent so much money on it", "it was a gift from a friend", or "I may need that someday." With the KonMari method, my mind was focused on what I loved instead. Mind = blown.
A Folding Technique That Saves So.Much.Room
I'm not gonna lie, I was initially not very excited about Marie's folding technique. She stresses the importance of folding everything into a neat little rectangle and then standing your clothing upright in your drawers. It just seemed like a heck of a lot of work – not to mention she has a slightly different technique for each type of clothing.
But I figured I would give her folding technique a try for one drawer and see how it went. Holy smokes … what a game changer. My drawer was originally stuffed to the brim and it was difficult to pull it open. I didn't get rid of a single piece of clothing in that space (they all brought me joy!), and I only used her folding technique.
With her fold and the stacking, I now have extra room in the drawer to hold even more clothing. I was blown away by this and I'm now folding all.the.things.
What I Didn't Love About Tidying Up
I can definitely get behind the main principles of the KonMari method, but there are some aspects that just don't work for me and are far too rigid. Here are some I couldn't get to work for me and thus, won't be practicing.
Emptying Your Purse Every Day?!
Marie says you should empty your handbag daily. For real?! That seems a little intense for me. I'm all about not accumulating too much junk in my purse (do I really need all those receipts and gum wrappers?), but taking everything out daily seems a bit overkill.
Her method encourages finding a storage spot for the things you take with you every day, such as your keys, sunglasses, makeup pouch, etc. Then, place your wallet in a box and treat it like a VIP. She vows that doing this will bring good fortune your way because you're treating your money with respect.
If I emptied my purse every day, I would undoubtedly forget something the next time I headed out the door. I love just being able to grab my bag and head out. Having to open the special box for my wallet, throw all of the other items I need into a bag and leave my house … not.gonna.happen. Sorry Marie, but that's one rule I can't get behind!
Discarding Photos
Marie doesn't say that you need to get rid of all of your photos, but she certainly wants you to pare down dramatically.
When it comes to photo albums, she encourages you to take every photo out of a photo album and cull it down to about 5 photos for each life event. According to Marie, we must choose because we're fooling ourselves when we say we'll look at them again someday. While I understand the need to discard extra photos, 5 photos seems a bit extreme to me!
I truly believe that someday will come, especially for photos! I want to be able to show my kids my high school photo album and pictures from my baby book. While I'll always have the memories myself, being able to share them with loved ones is something I don't ever want to give up.
Clearing Clutter By Yourself
Whenever I've had a big cleaning day in the past, I usually recruit my husband to help. We'll each tackle our closets and other rooms in the house and we make a day of it … blasting music, ordering lunch, and taking all of our discarded items to the donation center when we're finished.
Marie says it's best to clear the clutter alone. And while I think that works for some categories, it definitely doesn't work for all of them for me.
Yes, I can go through all of my personal clothing, but what about the rest of the items in my home that my husband uses? Shouldn't it be a combined effort to tackle all of the other categories? I certainly wouldn't want to get rid of a kitchen item that sparks joy for my husband, just because I didn't want to keep it around.
Plus, I think it could be a fun activity to do together so you both feel pride in your space and your belongings. Again, another aspect of her method that didn't resonate with me.
My Takeaway
Overall, I loved learning the KonMari method and putting it into practice in my home. Some of Marie's practices are strict, but I think the heart of her message is something we can all learn from. We have too much stuff that we don't need and it's holding us back from living the life we want.
Surround yourself with items that bring you joy and your home will be a much happier place to be.

After Four-Year PR Battle, Caruso Concedes Defeat in Carlsbad Development Deal
In a hotly contested special election, voters in Carlsbad, Calif., rejected a retail center proposed by Caruso Affiliated, the developer of the prominent retail centers The Grove and The Americana at Brand.
According to the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters, 20,362 of Carlsbad voters, or 51.99 percent, cast "no" votes on Measure A. The ballot measure was a referendum on approving a Caruso Affiliated retail center in Carlsbad, a well-to-do community in San Diego's North County. Supporters of the measure tallied 48.01 percent, or 18,806 votes. The special election took place on Feb. 23. The vote was called on Feb. 29. (Unofficial election results were released on Feb. 25 and published in the Feb. 26 issue of California Apparel News.)
Citizens for North County, the group that organized the campaign against the center, posted a concession statement from Rick J. Caruso, founder of the Los Angeles–headquartered Caruso Affiliated, on the group's website (citizensfornorthcounty.org).
"I have called the leadership of the citizens for North County and congratulated them on their hard-fought campaign," Caruso said. "This was a close election with a historically strong voter turnout on both sides. Both sides share a common love for their Carlsbad community, a sentiment we share. While we had hoped for a different outcome, we are proud of our effort, our plan, the integrity of our message, and we are thankful for the great friends and supporters we have made over the past four years. We are very grateful for their support and hard work."
The election represents a rare public setback for Caruso, who has developed some of the most popular Southern California malls of the past decade.
The stakes for the Carlsbad retail center were high. Caruso waged a four-year public-relations campaign to convince Carlsbad voters that his project was a good choice. He promised that a full-line Nordstrom department store would open on the lagoon where he owned a parcel of land. He also promised that his plan would include open space on the lagoon where visitors could go on nature walks. The plan also forecast that a section of the lagoon land would be preserved as an agricultural zone. The space was once devoted to family farms.
The vote also represents a setback for Carlsbad's City Council. On Aug. 25, the council approved the Agua Hedionda South Shore Specific Plan, which proposed a 26.7-acre Caruso retail center. It was to be located east of the I-5 on the south shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad. On Oct. 27, opponents of the project gathered enough signatures to put the project up for a vote.
Project opponents felt that their long-held wishes to develop more open space in the lagoon area had been ignored by the City Council, said Samantha Hackett, who has lived in Carlsbad for more than a decade. She voted against Measure A. The issue had dominated the city's life. Residents had received mailers in support of the project daily, Hackett said. There were also frequent ads in newspapers and other media.
Mall shopping is well represented in Carlsbad. It's a mid-size town with a population of 110,997 and an average household income of more than $107,000, according to a city profile. Rouse Properties Inc. runs The Shoppes at Carlsbad retail center, which is the address to anchors Macy's and JCPenney. Simon runs Carlsbad Premium Outlets, which is the address to outlet stores for luxury brands such as Brooks Bros. and contemporary labels such as DKNY. There's boutique shopping at The Forum Carlsbad, which is the address for retailers such as H&M, Lululemon Athletica and a Tilly's. The city also is the site of the Legoland California Resort amusement park.
The future of the land where the Caruso mall was to be built remains a question. Caruso could submit another plan for the area, or even the same plan, but he would start at the beginning. His plans would be required to go through the review of the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Commission, according to a city communication.
Caruso had a deal to acquire the land for the proposed retail center from landowner San Diego Gas & Electric. If Caruso terminates the deal, someone else could purchase the land.

You are playing: Tetris
: You must arrange bricks to form rows without the 'wall' getting too high, or it's game over. You can rotate bricks so that they fit into the wall and once a row is complete it will disappear, thus lowering the wall. Eliminated rows will lower the number of lines you need to complete a level. Bricks fall faster in the higher levels and sometimes there are already bricks in the field that block your path. Often, when you try to make a Tetris four rows of lines that are removed at once, you end up waiting a long time for the long red brick the only way of completing a Tetris. It is interesting to note that every brick is made up of exactly four blocks.

While I was growing up there weren't all these rules about having friends. At school I played with both boys and girls. At home I played with the kids on my street, boys and girls, younger and older. I had friends, not BFF's, (Best Friends Forever).
Thankfully, I wasn't even aware that I had to have a BFF and to my knowledge none of the girls around me had BFF's. When you wanted to play with someone, you just played. It was simple, clear and most of all, fun. I have an "old and dear friend" that I have known since I was two years old.
However, I have several other dear friends from all over the world; London, Tokyo, Boston, and here in Colorado. None of my friends are jealous of the others and none of them control my friendships. I need all of my female friendships and rely on any one of them depending on my needs or theirs.
My 10 yo daughter has been coming home from school for several years giving me the update on who's BFF's and who isn't anymore. It's dizzying at time. Not only are BFF's changing like the weather but they're complicating and destroying the natural terms of being friends. "BFF" was born from a marketing ploy to sell "BFF" t-shirts, necklaces, trinkets, etc. It's a huge money-maker and the marketers know young girls; they change like the weather. When my daughter came home from school one day jumping on the BFF bandwagon I said "Absolutely not."
We discussed the importance of friendships but how BFF's have nothing to do with actual friendships. We also discussed how BFF's hurt more than help friendships. My daughter gets it but if all of the girls are doing it, then she feels like it's hard for her not to. I get that. The BFF concept is destroying young girls friendships. It's an inclusion of one and the exclusion of many.
Please encourage your daughter(s) not to fall for the BFF marketing ploy and enjoy playing and having fun with a variety of friends and that is inclusive.

"From Morn To Noon He Fell, From Noon To Dewy Eve"
(Magill's Quotations in Context)
Context: The person referred to in this quotation is the architect who designed Pandemonium, the high capital of Satan in Hell. Critics and scholars disagree as to his identity; Milton does not identify him. The poet does say that the same spirit had designed many a fine edifice in Heaven before the rebel angels were thrust into Hell. He is known as a pagan deity, says Milton, by the name of Mulciber, a secondary epithet of Vulcan, and he is mentioned by Homer in the first book of the Iliad. The lines of this quotation describe the length of time the architect fell, according to a Greek myth, from on high to the island of Lemnos when he angered the chief deity:
. . . thrown by angry JoveSheer o'er the crystal battlements; from mornTo noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve,A summer's day. . . .

I got off the floor about an hour ago, a little bit after chatzos. While the fire is still burning in the bais hamikdash, we only have a small, symbolic amount of mourning to do. The beard that I have been growing for 3 weeks, the not going to public events, no live music, the refraining from water activities, the vegetarianism etc.. all say that I am symbolically part of the mourning. It would be impossible to truly mourn, for if we knew what we were missing, we would never get off the ground. As it is written, "those who mourn Jerusalem and the temple will take place in its rebuilding.
My shul says 14 kinos on Tisha B'av morning, ending with the traditional Eli Zion. We started davening at 7:30 and finished at around 9:30 I thought that it was a good amount of time. In our shul, a different person reads each kinah out loud and then the congregation says out loud the congregational point, so during one kinah everyone is saying Oyah together. I read one kinah, stating that God is great and we should be embarrassed as it went through some of history saying nice things that God did for us and how we screwed it up. I thought that it was a decent amount of time for kinos. In Detroit, where they said all of them, someone generally brought a backgammon set and when we got bored of kinos we would play
I took my little girl for a walk today because she needed to get out. It was so refreshing breathing the fresh air and looking around at the Galilean hills. May we merit the bais hamikdash to be speedily rebuild, in our days.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a type of cancer of the white blood cells where either B-cells or T-Cells grow uncontrollably, clogging the lymph nodes and causing them to swell. If left untreated, the abnormal white blood cells will eventually overwhelm the immune system, leading to death.
Like most cancers, Non-Hodgkin's has no clear cause, but often runs in families. It is also common among those who are Immunosuppressed or those who suffer from a large number of infections and have a weakened immune system, particularly patients with AIDS.
Only a biopsy of a lymph node can confirm the presence of the cancer. One of the problems in diagnosing Non-Hodgkin's is that the symptoms are also typical of many infections.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma should not be confused with Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is a completely different disease.

9/11 and the Last Ordinary Day
Where was I on that morning 17 years ago? I was headed to California for a routine business meeting. My children that day were in an unusually good mood for a Tuesday morning school day when I woke them early to say good bye. The sky was brilliant blue without a cloud to be seen. Traffic getting to the airport was nonexistent. The line through security was uncharacteristically short. No one was in the two seats next to me. The headline in the AJC heralded my hero Michael Jordan buying the Washington basketball team. A perfect day to fly across the country.
On 9/11/2001, my plane lifted off from Atlanta at just before 8 am bound for L.A. That was the approximately the same time as the two flights from Boston took off that ended up colliding into the World Trade Center. My plane was safely diverted to Chicago as the FTA scrambled to ground all flights in the U.S. I remember the shock of the other passengers in my plane when we discovered what had happened, the eerie silence in O'Hare as they evacuated us off the plane, the stunned looks on everyone's faces as we waited for our bags (no one really cared about their bags), the grief we all felt for our fellow travelers that day when we learned off the crash in Pennsylvania, and the desire of everyone to connect with loved ones.
I eventually made it to my sister's house in the Chicago suburbs (she had only moved north a few months earlier and I had to scramble to find her address). Four days later I was able to share a ride home with other stranded travelers — one trying to get home to Louisville and the other to Nashville. Strangers were family that week and everyone just wanted to go home.
I left home on September 11 for an ordinary nondescript business trip and safely returned with a moderately interesting tale to tell my friends and family. Three thousand innocent people did not have that good fortune. For the next several months the New York Times published a short bio on everyone who perished that day. I made a point of reading each bio. I was taken by the number of extraordinary lives that perished on a day that was supposed to be ordinary. They deserved to go home to their families as well but fate dealt them a different harsher hand.
Remember. Cherish the moment. Even the seemingly ordinary nondescript ones. We never know what fate has in store for us in the next sweep of the second hand.
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Some colleagues of mine were in town for a convention that day, one from Portland. He ended up having to rent a car and drive it all the way back home.
I lived close enough to the airport to occasionally hear the planes overhead, but for a couple of days after that there were no planes. Very strange.
I am immensely grateful to the heroes of flight 93. They saved the Capitol.

Separated but still together!
How painful is that? Living in the same house that you once built together. Nothing here belongs to me, I live like a visitor but with the man I married. Still coexisting somehow. If there was one memory for every minute I have spent with him, how many memories would I have for each day? For the 18 years that I have known him? How can anyone erase such a large & intense part of their life? How can one 'move on'?
I decided to put each memory aside little by little. Take each day as it comes. While doing so I realised that the good ones are the ones that hurt me the most, which break me into pieces, making it very difficult for me to get back into the present.
So I decided never to let that happen. I decided to look ahead at what I want, rather than to look behind to see what I'm leaving behind. It's not easy & I have some really bad days. But in this process, I realised that writing is taking me back to the zone where I don't want to enter. I don't want to stop writing, but I want to first take control of my emotions. That's why the hiatus.
AdiC, touched by your concern. Posting this just for you. 🙂

Fowlers Troop Jack-in-the-Green 2015
I'm very grateful to Paul Holman for sending in some fantastic pictures of this years Deptford/Greenwich (Fowlers Troop) Jack-in-the-Green from Friday.
The Fowlers Troop Jack was revived in 1983 by Mo Johnson who made a Jack-in-the-Green in the back garden of the 'Dog and Bell' and Blackheath Morris (a side morphed from the Blackheath Foot'n'Death Men who used to dance at events featuring bands like Hawkwind and the Pink Fairies). Mo was inspired by one of Thankful Sturdee's photographs c.1900 of the original troop and Jack. The Fowlers Jack goes out on the streets of Deptford and Greenwich every May Day. Fowlers Troop try to maintain the styles of the original Fowlers Troop and wear clown costumes, fancy dress or Edwardian style clothes.
More pictures have just been uploaded to our Flickr Archive here:
The Company of the Green Man maintains a free to access archive of pictures of the traditional Jack in the Green. I would be extremely grateful for any pictures of any of this years (and previous years) Jacks for the archive.

SCP Hotel, local yoga instructor plan cookie, sock drive to benefit the homeless
The gifts have been opened and the last crumbs of the pastries swept away. Remnants of holiday feasts sit in refrigerators as final reminders of a packed dinner table surrounded by friends and family.
Yes, for many of us, the holiday season is over.
But for Felicia Hug, the owner of and instructor at Traveling Hug Yoga, and for SCP (Soul Community Planet) Hotel Colorado Springs, there are still a few hundred gifts of love and warmth to give away. Hug and the SCP have teamed to host a sock and cookie drive, aimed at collecting foot-warming ware and tasty treats for some of the city's less-fortunate residents.
Dubbed "Sweet in the Stomach, Warm on the Feet," the event aims to gather 300 pairs of new socks and stuff 300 bags of cookies for distribution to the community's homeless. It is scheduled for 3 to 6 p.m. Jan. 12 at the hotel, located at 2850 S. Circle Drive.
"I'm very community driven," Hug said. "My whole mission of my business is that people feel loved, no matter who they are. You don't know someone's story but if you just give them a hug – or a cookie – it can change their whole day.
"I thought it would be a great way to give back and to get people to the SCP."
Anyone who wishes to help decorate cookies or stuff bags may show up during the drive and lend a hand. Donations will be distributed to the Colorado Springs Rescue Mission, Hug said. She has been working with area stores on sock and frosting donations; however, private donations of either footwear or baked goods will be welcome.
Hug and SCP Hotel staff members have committed to baking hundreds of sugar-type cookies for the event; but as with the footwear, the more the merrier. Consider it the icing on the pastry.
"Anybody can bring any type of cookie," Hug said with a grin.
The SCP Hotel, which recently opened in Southeast is built on holistic hospitality and a belief that conscious, sustainable living doesn't end when guests leave their homes. It also maintains a strong community focus, offering work and meeting space, a music venue and yoga classes, among other amenities.
So when Hug, who leads sunrise sessions there on Tuesday mornings and Sunday afternoon unwind yoga classes, broached the idea of the cookie drive, the hotel team immediately agreed.
For their part, SCP staff members have been working with vendors to collect drive donations, such as icing. The event will be followed by live music from indie singer and songwriter Brandon Henderson, and volunteers who stick around will receive a free pint.
For more information, contact the SCP Hotel at firstname.lastname@example.com or 430-5400, or message Hug on Facebook at Traveling Hug Yoga.
To Hug, the drive is more than a mission, it's personal. She is also a kickboxing instructor at a gym near the Rescue Mission, and she has befriended a client of the mission. When she includes him in outings or events, Hug said, she can see the change in him.
"My purpose is to give back to the homeless community," she said. "To say 'hey, you're not forgotten. We care about you, too.' "
Who: SCP Hotel and local yoga instructor Felicia Hug
What: "Sweet in the Stomach, Warm on the Feet" sock and cookie drive
When: 3 to 6 p.m. Jan. 12
Where: SCP Hotel, 2850 S. Circle Drive
Why: To collect socks and decorate and package cookies for the homeless. Donations will benefit the Colorado Springs Rescue Mission.

"No more aimless scrolling. No more spending time in spaces that drained me emotionally... My plan isn't to completely run away from or stop using social media altogether. But it is to be more intentional about how much time I spend aimlessly scrolling and the messages I'm digesting and internalizing as a result of my social media usage."

"Check Up On Your Strong Friends" & Negotiating Feelings of Failure
Being a strong "friend" means I never want to actually talk about the roots of my problems and what's really going on because I don't want to bother people. But receiving a text, phone call, email, something showing a modicum of thought beyond "can you help me with" can be seriously affirming.

As Dave Scherer and I discussed on this week's edition of The We Don't Need No Name Show, the timing of the WWE event on 11/2 in Saudi Arabia has come under additional scrutiny following the disappearance of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian national who had been critical of aspects of the country in his writing and reporting.
Khashoggi, who was a resident of the United States but was in Turkey at the time, entered a Saudi Arabian consulate to pick up paperwork that would allow him to re-marry and hasn't been seen since. While the consulate has claimed Khashoggi left their property, his fiancee was waiting outside and he never returned to her. The Washington Post has reported that Turkish officials believe that Khashoggi was murdered, possibly during an attempt to kidnap and spirit him back to Saudi Arabia that went wrong. The investigation is ongoing and has become a major hot button issue internationally.
Several other American companies who have events with ties to Saudi Arabia have canceled or postponed events, including Viacom and The New York Times, who have pulled out of a business conference in the country hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 initiative - the same Prince who was responsible for bringing WWE to Saudi Arabia. With WWE receiving a huge payday from the Kingdom in exchange for running events there (which have including promotional videos touting how progressive the regime has become, including allowing women to drive), there is a spotlght on WWE to see how they will handle the 11/2 event, their second live event in the country as part of a ten year agreement.
WWE issued the following response to queries about the event and the situation: "We are currently monitoring the situation."
Update 10:26 PM - Since we initially posted this story, The Washington Post has reported that Turkish authorities have informed United States officials they have audio and visual proof that concludes Khasoggi was indeed murdered.

We have a negative connotation on the word 'lost'. But I beg to differ.
I'd be lying if I say that I already found what I want to do for the rest of my life. The thing with being 'lost' is that it's a process — it's not something you can run away from just by a quotable quote in Facebook or an inspiring message by someone.
Being lost is an opportunity. It's a chance for us to explore possibilities and stretch out ourselves as much as we can (but not to the expense of overfatigue). It is, you may say, a kind of phase in life, but I think it can be something lifelong. Getting lost in helping others, for instance, is something I can buy into.
We hear so much unsolicited advice everyday on 'fixing our lives' or being at the state of 'not being lost.' I think these are horrible advice.
For one, human beings are extremely complex. When talking about the state of being 'lost', it's not something that you can just discuss through a black-and-white perspective.
Instead of wallowing in despair of being 'lost,' I say we look at it constructively. I say we become gracefully lost.
Lost with sustainability
As what you probably know as someone reading this blog post right now, I write mostly on sustainability. But this wasn't something that just popped into my head.
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals have over 17 general goals for the planet. Each of these 17 goals has more specific sets of goals, and so on. I happen to find myself amid all these goals. I am, you could say, 'gracefully lost' in my advocacy for sustainability. I can honestly admit that I have no direct focus right now, but I make do with what I have by exploring and stretching out the possibilities. Some ways I do that is through this blog, my work, and volunteer engagements.
Another factor is that I'm treading on a path that's barely scratched, at least locally. But that doesn't stop me from trying to achieve what I want.
I believe in the intersection of business and environment. Businesses have the potential to overturn the damage it's done to the world. This will require a new economic order that doesn't rely on 'eternal growth with finite natural resources.'
It's a tall order. I honestly don't know where to start. But I do certain things anyway. And this is what I mean about being gracefully lost.
Gracefully lost
'Lost' is a term that gets thrown around quite leniently. We forget that the term is not all that bad. It also has its good side, and that's what I want to focus on here.
Being gracefully lost is like finding yourself for the first time in a railway system of a big city. You have no idea how it exactly works. But you do it anyway. You learn along the way. You build your knowledge. You practice it. Then you become used to it.
And this applies to any aspect of life. It's alright that we don't know yet what to do or where to go. We just have to do something. We just have to embrace being lost. And we have to do whatever it costs to maintain our sanity and health and still manage to bond with our loved ones.
Being gracefully lost reminds us to take it easy. It removes the pressure and fills us with an unrelenting force of lifelong learning.
Let's take the conversation forward. Find out how we can collaborate for a sustainable future: https://berdeboy.blog/collaborate/

Puppy class, or private puppy training is a fantastic option to start your new addition off on the right foot, introduce them to simple obedience, start building a great bond and respect from your canine companion. However, puppy training is just that ... a start. In no way, shape or form should puppy training be the end of teaching your dog, just as in no way shape or form should grade one be the end of your childs education.
Puppies are constantly growing, changing, learning and exploring. Every day for a puppy is a learning experience and every day for puppies should be a new training opportunity. It would be disappointing to say the least, to end your puppy's "world education" at 16 -18 weeks old. Puppies need consistent, fair and clear training for an extended period of time before formal instruction should end to get the most out of your dogs training (though I believe, just like us humans, training and learning should never end) This time period going upwards of a year, and beyond with certain breeds/temperaments.
I always recommend my clients take a minimum of Basic Training after working through a Puppy Training session. It's great if everyone could add a Bootcamp or Real World type training session after Basic as well, to ensure that your puppy/dog can and will respond in real life situations.
So make sure that if you enroll in puppy training, that you continue your dogs education with basic training or beyond to get the most out of your dog's mind, to ensure that you have a good way of communicating with your dog and to keep your dog happy - a trained dog is a happy dog.

I am constantly asked this question by my online students, new grant writers, and new nonprofit organizations. Whether you're a full-time grant writer, an occasional grant writer, or a grant writer working under the directive of "and other duties as assigned," it's important to have a grant application announcements (also known as Notices of Funding Availability, or NOFAs) calendar or spreadsheet. Remember, the time from when a grant application is released to when it is due is your writing time frame, and it ranges from 30 to 90 days. In this blog article, I'll give you my take on whether or not there is a grant writing season and why it's an important factor for your organization to consider.
Federal Grant Writing Season
First, let's look at the federal government. Uncle Sam's fiscal year ends September 30. According to the National Institutes of Health (a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), the last half of the federal fiscal year (April to September) is when the largest number of grants are awarded; this time frame reflects all of the 26 federal grantmaking agencies. In order for a grant award to be made in the last half of the fiscal year, the actual high-volume NOFA release and heavy grant writing months are October through March. If you're a veteran grant writer, then you're probably nodding with recognition because you've often found yourself with grant application due dates on or around major federal holidays. Do you remember those critical application due dates and the grant writing frenzy around Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and President's Day? I do!
States' Grant Writing Season
Second, let's look at the fiscal year for the states and territories. The fiscal year for all but four states ends on June 30. Alabama and Michigan both have a fiscal year that ends on September 30, New York on March 31, and Texas on August 31. Three U.S. territories have September 30 fiscal year end dates: Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands. When it comes to state funding agencies, you'll likely experience the heaviest grant writing period from July to December.
Source: http://www.ncsl.org/research/fiscal-policy/basic-information-about-which-states-have-major-ta.aspx
What Should Your Grant Writing Spreadsheet Look Like?
So, to answer the question: yes, there is a grant writing season. Taking into consideration when federal, state, and foundation grantmaking agencies tend to release their funding announcements and have their due dates can help you anticipate your grant writing workflow throughout the year. It can help you determine when you will be most in need of human and organizational resources to handle the grant writing.If your organization happens to apply for all three kinds of grants, it would be safe to say that the spring months will have less grant writing activity and will thus be the best time to encourage time off. Making use of a spreadsheet like the one above to organize your grant writing and grants management efforts can help your organization ensure that is has sufficient time and manpower to submit the strongest possible grant application and increase its chances of a win.
