During Veteran's Day, Crunchbase released a list of venture capital firms that specifically target military veterans when creating their investment strategies. Below is a list of these firms along with a brief description on them. In my opinion, firms that have strategies such as these are a good way to define your strategy as well as look for new opportunities in markets that may have gems in their own right.
- Hivers and Strivers is a Virginia-based firm that "describes itself as an angel investment group focused on early-stage investments in startup companies founded and run by graduates of the U.S. Military Academies."
- Veteran Ventures Capital is a Tennessee based firm who's "goal is to help "vetrepreneurs" turn their own ideas and visions into successful companies, according to its website. It was established out of the collective ambition of investors experienced in the business, cyberspace, aerospace, information technology, and finance industries."
- Task Force (TFX Capital) is a South Carolina based venture capital firm that "is focused on investing in "high-performing veteran founders" of seed and early-stage veteran business and startups. It has an extensive portfolio including edtech startup proctorfree, GoodUnited, Vemo Education, and on-demand car wash and detailing service spiffy."
- 1836 Veterans is a Texas based firm, "founded in 2017 by a group military veterans and successful business leaders who" look to support members of Houston's veteran community who have "great entrepreneurial potential but that they needed resources: financial and otherwise in order to succeed."
- TechStars is a well known firm that has created its Patriot Boot Cam (PBC) program aimed at veterans. "PBC's core program is an intensive three-day technology entrepreneurship boot camp modeled after the TechStars accelerator to provide educational training and 1:1 mentoring to inspire and advance startup founders, according to the organization. PBC runs the program twice a year, in Texas and Colorado, for cohorts of 50 tech entrepreneurs."

Please Come to the People's Climate March September 21!July 30, 2014 at 3:17 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Tags: Cimate Change, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report, People's Climate March, UN Climate Summit 2014
I don't need to tell you about the dangers of climate change. The recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is hair raising–and they're noted for the moderation of their reports. The U.S. report is equally chilling. It used to be that if you had kids and grandkids you were supposed to be concerned about this. Now if you're planning to live fifteen more years you need to be afraid.
On September 21, climate action groups from around the world, including religious, spiritual, and interfaith groups, are converging on New York City for what we hope will be a huge march down the middle of Manhattan to get the attention of world leaders who will be gathering later that week for a climate change summit at the UN. World leaders have been pretty much AWOL on this subject. Some of the best, like Germany, who pride themselves on green technology, are importing increasing amounts of coal from the U.S. where numbers of coal burning power plants are being phased out. I kid you not. We need to scare these guys and gals to death.
To accomplish this, we need you to come to the People's Climate March on September 21. If you live in the NY metro area you absolutely HAVE GOT TO COME. And if you live somewhere else, you should really try. Imagine telling somebody in 25 years that you participated in the climate change equivalent of the March on Washington! Won't you be proud? Churches and non-profits are arranging for places where out of towers can stay, so you just need to get yourself here.
This is how you sign up for the March:
1. First, click here on this link: http://facebook.com/events/301805359975258/

Tribute to Mercedes Sosa: The Voice of Latin America
Tribute to Mercedes Sosa: The Voice of Latin America
Americas Society
In collaboration with:
The Consulate of Argentina in New York
AS Members, reservations are closed. You may join the waitlist at general admission prices through the National Sawdust website.
Not yet a member? Learn how to become a Cultural Circle member to access this event.
Mexican jazz singer Magos Herrera, one of the 2016–2017 curators at Brooklyn's National Sawdust, assembles an all-star cast of musicians, including Venezuelan pianist Edward Simon's trio (with Adam Cruz, drums, and Joe Martin, bass) alongside Argentine musician Pedro Aznar, in tribute to Argentine singer-songwriter Mercedes Sosa, known as "The Voice of Latin America." These musicians revisit some of Sosa's most beloved hits, which spearheaded the rise of the nueva canción (new song) movement in Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s.
Magos & Limón perform De Qué Callada Manera with Chabuco.
About the artists
Singer Mercedes Sosa was born and raised in Tucumán, Argentina, and began her professional career at age 15 after taking top honors in an amateur radio competition. An expressive vocalist and a gifted interpreter, Sosa was dubbed "the voice of the silent majority" for her choice of political themes and spearheaded the rise of the so-called nueva canción ("new song") movement, alongside Violeta Parra and Atahualpa Yupanqui, among others, which heralded the emergence of protest music across Argentina and Chile during the 1960s. The movement was crippled in 1973 by a coup that ousted Chilean President Salvador Allende. With Sosa's repertoire of songs that championed human rights and democracy, the military regime that had seized power viewed her as a serious threat, and in 1975 she was arrested during a live performance that also resulted in the incarceration of many audience members. Death threats forced her to leave Argentina in 1979, from which she remained in exile for several years, returning with a triumphant comeback performance in early 1982. Sosa recorded prolifically in the years to follow. In fall 2000, Sosa won a Grammy for Best Folk Album for Misa Criolla at the first annual Latin Grammy Awards, and again in 2003 and 2006 for Acústico and Corazón Libre. On October 4, 2009, after having received multiple Grammy nominations for the album Cantora, Sosa passed away after a long battle with illness.
Born in Mexico City and currently based in New York City, Magos Herrera is a dazzling jazz singer-songwriter, producer, and educator. Magos is regarded as one of the most expressive, beautiful voices and most active vocalists in the contemporary Latin American jazz scene. She is best known for her eloquent vocal improvisation and her singular bold style, which embraces elements of contemporary jazz with Latin American melodies and rhythms singing in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, in a style that elegantly blends and surpasses language boundaries. She has recorded six solo albums and has worked on joint collaborations for two more albums with celebrated producer Javier Limón, in addition to having participated as a guest artist of several recordings and albums. Throughout her career, Magos has garnered important awards and recognitions, including a Grammy short-list nomination in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category for her album Distancia (2009), and is the only female artist to have received the Berklee College of Music's Master of Latin Music Award. She recently performed with Limón at Music of the Americas, featuring a number of guests including harmonica player Grégoire Maret, with whom the duo recently toured to Mexico. Magos serves as a curator at National Sawdust, one of Brooklyn's most innovative venues, and, more recently, was invited as a guest artist to participate in an album celebrating Mexican poet Octavio Paz and in Paco de Lucia's tribute documentary, La guitarra vuela.
Award-winning pianist and composer Edward Simon hails from Venezuela. He made his first recording with his eponymous trio in 1994 (Beauty Within, Audioquest). Since then, the trio has become an established voice, with five recordings and recent performances at the Village Vanguard, Jazz Bakery, and Casa del Jazz. Simon has recorded 11 critically acclaimed albums as leader, including two New York Times Top Ten Jazz Records of the Year: Edward Simon (1995) and Simplicitas (2005). His recording Unicity was voted "Best CD of 2007" by DOWNBEAT. He has appeared as guest artist on more than 50 recordings, including Paquito D'Rivera's Grammy Award-winning Funk Tango (Best Latin Jazz Album, 2007) and several other Grammy-nominated albums. In 2010 Simon was named Guggenheim Fellow by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. That same year he became a member of the SFJAZZ Collective, a prominent musician-composer jazz ensemble dedicated to creating new work and highlighting the music of historically significant jazz composers of the modern era. The collective comprises "eight of the most in-demand" (New York Times) artists performing today. Simon's first live album, featuring his trio alongside bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade, Live in New York at Jazz Standard, was released in April 2013 on Sunnyside Records.
With 16 solo albums, Argentine musician and singer-songwriter Pedro Aznar is considered one of the most representative voices of Argentina today. Formed in 1978 with Charly García, David Lebón, and Oscar Moro, the group Serú Girán was considered by audiences and critics alike to be a landmark in Argentine rock music and left a legacy of 10 albums, record-breaking audiences, and an influence that transcended generations. In 1983 Aznar joined the Pat Metheny Group as multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. This lineup of the acclaimed group performed around the world and won three Grammy Awards for "First Circle" (1984),"Letter from Home" (1989), and "The Road to You" (1993). Aznar has led his own group since 1993, which is infused with rock, jazz, Argentine and Latin American roots music, a constant openness to new tendencies, and a profound respect of old traditions.

|"Musical Chairs (Alternate version)"
|Artist: Lemon Demon
|Album: Damn Skippy
|Length: 2:54
This is a version of Musical Chairs (a song originally released on Hip To The Javabean) available in the bonus tracks of Damn Skippy. This version features different instrumentation and a somewhat different vocal style. It also lacks the last verse that is in the original.
You walk around in circles,
I walk around in squares.
Another round of musical chairs.
And maybe no one really cares about the way we walk.
The record stores are out of stock,
and all we want is bloody rock and roll.
And clearly this is not the way to go.
I saw it in the mirror,
the ghost of Chairman Mao.
He had three money symbols on his brow.
And he will show the children how
to wear their cowboy boots,
bowler hats and prison suits,
and watch while Neil Armstrong shoots the moon.
But he's never gonna get there by balloon.

Ezekial Gridlock'd Theory
Pac's "Real" name in this movie is Ezekiel Whitmoore (this name is called out in a couple of clinics they go to.) "Ezekiel" was quoted by Samuel L. Jackson in the movie Pulp Fiction. This is in one of the opening scenes in which him and Travolta are in this guys apartment and he quotes "Ezekiel 25:17" to this guy before he blows him away. Tim Roth, Pac's co star in Gridlock'd is also in Pulp Fiction. If you've looked up Ezekiel in the bible, there are alot of things to do with the number 7. The name Ezekiel has 7 letters in it. The name Ezekiel means "who god will strengthen". The number 7 means spiritual completeness. Ezekiel is about thirty when he began his prophecy.
Ezekiel 3:16 "And it came to pass at the END OF 7 DAYS that the word of the lord came unto me."
Ezekiel 18:21 "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath commited, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surley live, he shall not die."
even someone who has sinned, can repent those sins and be saved. To repent means to turn completely away from your sins and begin a new, clean life." Like Pac was trying to do.
In the song Blasphemy from DK7, at about 30 seconds when the voice says "and if the lord does return in the next 7 days..." you hear Pac in the background say "7 years." This is clearer than any other line he supposedly says in the background on this whole CD.
"God will not bless the people who committ these sins. God has struck out (smitten) at those people."
Suge was in jail, Deathrow is falling. Orlando Anderson ia dead.

Now hold on, this is innocent blood
All the beach boys look like sharks
Because without you nothing ever mattered
I scream and wave my arms but you don't understand me
Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over…
Don't listen to them
And their hateful hearsay
Ricocheting among
Their vituperate memories
Don't let them ruin
That innocent mortality
Put into the stands
By a blood-hungry jury
Don't look at them
Conspire among themselves
Like ravenous savages
Looking for fresh meat death
Don't taste the fear
That they put in your mouth
Spit out the poison
Away with your bitter doubt
Don't let them make
You out to be their villain
Because, in the end
You're only another victim
Don't let them make you unfair
They can hate and stay desperate
But I promise they'll get nowhere
Don't let them—I won't let them.
I saved myself for you
Don't you know I'd die for you?
I saved myself for you
(Without you what's the point?)

Value Propositions for Highly Regulated, Commoditized, or Channel Partner Brands
Even in a highly regulated or commoditized industry, you can craft powerful value propositions.
I hear a common complaint from marketers at companies that have a "boxed-in" product:
- Highly Regulated Industries — insurance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and banking
- A Commoditized Product — traditionally foodstuffs or precious metals, but today this applies to most retailers who compete with Amazon
- Channel Partners — systems integrators, value-added resellers, value-added distributors, independent software vendors, independent hardware vendors, and other companies that rely on channel marketing partnerships with major brands
Marketers in these industries often lament "We can't create a powerful value proposition for our brands and products." Essentially, all their competitors have the same products and they are forced to compete on price.
Again, I say: Even in a highly regulated or commoditized industry, you can craft a powerful value proposition.
Exclusivity has a large effect on a value proposition's force, according to the MECLABS Institute value proposition methodology.
That is one reason many marketing leaders struggle with the value proposition of brands in highly regulated industries. In some cases, the products are very similar or even identical, due to regulatory requirements. So how do you compete?
I was reminded of this challenge while participating in a value proposition workshop with an insurance industry brand recently. While the aim of that workshop was to create a specific value proposition for its brand, a few overarching themes emerged that I thought you might find helpful if you work in a highly regulated or commoditized industry …
Communicate Hidden Value
The nuts and the bolts of a product are just the beginning. Yes, you might offer a very similar product, but can your company offer it in a more customer-first way that better demonstrates value to the customer?
For example, a water fountain is a pretty simple product. You push a button, you get cold water in a public setting. But:
- Who is buying water fountains?
- What are their goals?
- Can you help them succeed?
Elkay filtered ezH2O water bottle filling stations communicate hidden value with its exclusive Green Ticker, which shows a count of how many plastic water bottles have been saved by refilling reusable water bottles at that particular fountain, instead of buying bottled water.
This feature hopefully drives changed consumer behavior, but it also offers exclusive value to the decision-maker who picks which water fountain should be installed in a building, by helping facilities managers meet corporate sustainability initiatives.
Simplicity Can Really Stick Out in a Complex Industry
One of the largest banks in North America engaged in value proposition testing with MECLABS Institute to discover the most effective expression of value for a small-business banking solution.
Value categories were identified — price, savings, support, product design, and benefits for small businesses (potential growth, simplification of banking, and reduced work).
After experimentation in the channel and on the landing page, the team discovered the most compelling value was the small business benefit of simplifying banking.
Often heavily regulated and commoditized industries have complex offerings. While the product itself may necessarily be the same as your competitors, helping to simplify the use of that complex product could give your brand a value proposition edge.
Clarity Helps With Process-Oriented Value Propositions, As Well
A brand's overall value proposition is just one of the four levels of value proposition. Companies often have to communicate process-oriented value propositions, as well; explaining to users why they should take a specific action.
A major Canadian financial services institution conducted experimentation with MECLABS to discover the best way to increase conversion for its welcome banking package.
By more clearly communicating the offering, the team achieved a 200 percent conversion lift over the control.
Again, heavily regulated and commodified industries tend to be filled with complexity. Some companies try to overcome that in their processes with boastful marketing language — which tries to sell, not help, a skeptical customer.
Instead, provide transparency and clarify the process steps customers need to take. This will help you differentiate your value proposition by providing a better customer experience, even if the product itself is similar to competitors.
People Can Make the Difference
When you hear words like clarity and simplicity, you may assume that shorter marketing copy is always better.
However, Aetna's HealthSpire startup generated 638% more leads for its call center with a longer landing page.
For a complex decision, like finding the right Medicare plan, having knowledgeable human beings you can trust to help you navigate these intricate and anxiety-filled options is a compelling value proposition. A longer, more complex landing page was necessary for HealthSpire to communicate the value of that human interaction.
Tell Your Brand's Story
Wine is just old, expensive grape juice with a great story.
What is your brand's story?
Eggs are a commodity product, but Country Hen eggs are able to command premium pricing; in part, by including a newsletter in each package.
"We often feel like we have a salesforce of thousands of loyal customers looking out for our best interest," sales coordinator Kathy Moran told me.
The commodification challenge was especially acute while working with a precious metals company. Gold and silver are literally commodities. I interviewed the founder, the company principals, and previous customers for hours while searching for the value prop and determining what copy could best communicate it. A common theme became abundantly clear — the founder's honesty, integrity, and transparency made this company stand out — so a key part of the website was telling his story and making specific promises to potential customers.
It wasn't necessary to come up with boastful, flowery marketing. The most important job of the copywriter is to search for that true kernel of differentiated value and communicate it in a compelling way.
'What If … ?' Is a Question Upon Which Powerful Value Props Are Built
Think outside the box. It's a trite and overused phrase, I know. But when it comes to heavily regulated and commoditized industries, it's all too easy to feel constrained by a pre-defined notion of what is possible in your industry. The legal review is too extensive, internal compliance is too risk-averse, or the product is just inherently cut-and-dry.
But the marketer's stock-in-trade is ideas. The right idea can help truly differentiate your brand in the marketplace.
As a visceral example, we were conducting the before-mentioned value proposition workshop in a commodity conference room at the One Ocean Resort & Spa in Atlantic Beach, Fla. But the azure blue ocean and cooling breezes of the mighty Atlantic were just down the hallway, so we broke out of the commodity conference room and conducted the final session on the resort's beachfront back patio.
We broke out of the conference room during the last session of the @MECLABS Value Proposition workshop for an insurance brand. We brainstormed value claim evidentials on @OneOceanResort's beachfront patio. pic.twitter.com/uKuOpJIE25
— Daniel Burstein (@DanielBurstein) June 5, 2019
And I think that is a great analogy. An entirely different viewpoint (from staid conference room to majestic ocean) is just around the corner.
The same is true for your value proposition.
While the product may be the same, the way you deliver and service it could be wildly different and create value for the customer.
For example, generic drugs — color-coded by day of the week, distributed in bottles stamped with which week you're supposed to take them. Life insurance companies that pay out annuities, instead of lump-sum benefits, so you know your surviving children will be taken care of and not quickly spend through a one-time windfall. Banks that offer target dates certificates of deposit so you can save money based on your timeline, instead of a standard one-, three-, or five-year schedule. Doctors who provide a menu of options any time treatments or drugs are needed, showing pros, cons, and costs of each — instead of just writing a prescription or ordering a surgery.
I just made all of these up on the spot, so people with far more industry knowledge than me can quickly box them out and say they are impossible.
Let the compliance department or corporate counsel have those concerns. As marketers, we must ask, "What if?" and then challenge their denouncements to see if it really can't be done … or just is new and scary and hasn't been done before.
To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw,
"The reasonable marketer adapts a value proposition to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to a value prop. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable marketer."
Marketers, let us all be unreasonable.

Diets don't work!!!
So I have completely copied this from British Dietetics Association website, but you can see below all the different types of diets that are completely not recommended from our specialised health professionals whom have gone through rigmented training to support the public about nutrition. This is fantastic and I am sure that they do not mind sharing this lovely and useful information to you happy reading
The British Dietetic Association's (BDA) spokespeople deal with hundreds of requests relating to food and nutrition from the media each year, as well as working with many more patients and clients who ask them about the latest celebrity or social media diet trend. Some of them are laughable, while others are potentially dangerous.
These experts have identified five of the wildest diet fads they've come across this past year so you can be sure to avoid them in 2020.
1. Fat Shaming
Who's a fan? Bill Maher, Piers Morgan
What's it all about?
Celebs like Bill Maher and Piers Morgan have called for the 'return of fat shaming' this year. They argue that shaming and humiliating people for the size of their body will encourage them to lose weight. These ideas have been common for a while, and shaming people for the size of their bodies has been used to sell everything from women's magazines to laxative teas.
BDA Verdict: The Shame Game Is Bad For Every Body!
"In short, fat shaming is draining on human health," Katherine Kimber, BDA Spokesperson and Registered Dietitian says. "There is clear evidence to suggest that shaming people because of their size, will not improve health. In fact, it's been linked to widespread exclusion, marginalisation, avoidance of accessing healthcare, reduced physical activity and poorer psychological and physical health.
"Rather, focusing on positive health behaviours and taking the microscope off of body weight and size is a positive alternative approach. This approach is not about encouraging people to give up on health. It's about recognising the complexities of body weight, and understanding that weight is not a behaviour. It's very complex. It's also about supporting all bodies, regardless of size, to have equal access to health. Because Every Body is worthy, and Every Body matters."
2. IV Drips
Who's a fan? Rihanna, Chrissy Teigen
What's it all about?
Promoters of intravenous (IV) vitamin drips claim they can do almost anything, including quickly fixing a hangover, boosting energy levels, burning fat, fighting jet lag or strengthening the immune system.
BDA verdict: I'Ve heard better ideas
There is no evidence that taking vitamins via an IV drip has any benefits for most people, and this invasive procedure can be dangerous. As Marcela Fiuza, BDA Spokesperson and Registered Dietitian explains; "Any time you have an IV inserted, there is a risk of infection as well as risk that a vein could become inflamed or blocked with a clot (a condition called thrombophlebitis). This risk is increased when unqualified people are doing it.
"There is also a concerning risk that you will get too much of the vitamins without knowing. This can have serious health implications, particularly for those having it regularly. People living with health conditions (known or unknown) are also at particular risk for this.
"Even if no complications occur, you will probably just excrete at least 90% of what's being infused – it is literally money down the toilet. For most people, a healthy balanced diet (and in some cases an oral vitamin supplement) is sufficient to provide all the vitamins and minerals you need."
3. Beyoncé's 22-day diet
Who's a fan? Beyoncé of course
What's it all about?
This diet is based around the pretence of 21 days being enough to make or break a habit, hence a 22 days nutrition diet. With the goal that come day 22 you will be a convert and stick to eating a vegan plant-based diet. This way of eating is said to have huge health benefits due to cutting out processed foods and reducing meat consumption. The plan isn't available in the UK but in the USA the cost is $39 per quarter or $99 for the year.
BDA verdict: Beyhave! This is too short to make an impact
"If you had the skills and knowledge on how to eat a plant-based diet, then you could do this on your own, using your own recipes and adapting your current recipes, without the expense" explains Anna Daniels, BDA Spokesperson and Registered Dietitian. "A few reviews of the diet online call out some issues with the variety of unusual ingredients and preparation time. I am a believer in eating right and planning, however it does have to work for you - if it's too hard it won't happen. Beyoncé also may very well have had a personal chef creating the plan for her which would have made it far easier to stick to.
"This could be a good way for someone to want to kick start a better way of eating and reduce their intake of high fat, high salt foods. However, it will certainly take longer than 22 days to eat optimally and for good health and longevity!"
4. Hair Gummies
Who's a fan? Celebs like the Kardashian-Jenner's (Khloé, Kim, Kylie, Kourtney & Kris) and Vanessa Hudgens have all promoted these gummies on Instagram
What's it all about
These hair gummies are over-priced multivitamins targeted at those of us who are unhappy with our hair. Celebs and influencers with hairdressers on tap, hair extensions and naturally gorgeous hair are promoting these as 'must have products' at £20-30 each month.
BDA Verdict: We're not hair for this one!
Aisling Pigott, BDA Spokesperson and Registered Dietitian, shares her view. "Another celeb, another false nutrition claim. Hair and skin health are influenced by many factors including lifestyle, hormones, genetics and diet. However, to imply that taking a vitamin tablet can 'give us better hair' is based on zero evidence. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies which affect our hair are rare, but an overall poor diet can impact our hormones and stress levels.
"This is irresponsible advertising from celebrities endorsing products which lack scientific evidence. If you want to get the best out of your hair (and save some cash), enjoy a healthy, balanced diet with the right amount of energy, fruit and vegetables."
5. Glacce Amethyst Bottles
Who's a fan? Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow
What's it all about?
Crystal infused water from your very own gemstone water bottle allows you to drink healing water or 'Crystal Elixir' anytime, anywhere! They claim that iron and minerals along with the healing properties of certain crystals are released into the water, which you can then drink and reap the benefits. Each crystal supposedly has its own benefits such as helping with insomnia, promoting energy, improving mood or relieving stress.
BDA Verdict: It's crystal clear this is nonsense!
"As much as I would be the first person to support adequate hydration as the backbone of health," says Claire Pettitt, BDA Spokesperson and Registered Dietitian, "there is absolutely no evidence to support any benefit of adding crystals to your water. There is limited research looking at crystal elixirs and so the health benefits claimed to occur with these magical drinks are simply not evidenced-based.
"Sure, you will feel good if you improve your hydration. Yes, concentrate on drinking more water if you need to, but at the end of the day I wouldn't waste your money on a water bottle with an inbuilt crystal. Get a reusable stainless steel one instead and help reduce your plastic use and protect the environment whilst keeping hydrated!"
Support and compassion, not shame and quick fixes
Caroline Bovey, BDA Chair and Registered Dietitian, is keen to stress that making people feel bad about themselves does not encourage healthy behaviours. "It does, however, create an environment which makes people feel more vulnerable and opens up marketing opportunities through which to sell people the kinds of products and diets we list every year. Magic bullets and empty promises that your body size, hair, nails and skin will finally be 'right', you will gain all the energy you need, and you will be worthy of love/health/wealth/happiness!
"Obesity, malnutrition and diets that don't give us all the nutrients we need are common place. But the problems that people experience need solutions based on compassion, support and structural changes to overcome, not shame, and certainly not to humiliate or promote the idea that quick fixes and over simplistic solutions are the answer. Dietitians work with their patients to support them towards eating patterns that work for them and promote their overall health and wellbeing, whatever underlying conditions or concerns they may have. When it comes to food, diet and nutrition – trust the trained and regulated experts."

Clyde Primary School Newsletter
11th November 2016
Featured / World Teachers Day – Thank you!
The teaching staff would like to thank the children, parents and the School Council members for the cards, thoughtful gifts and wonderful lunch on World Teacher's day on Friday October 28th. We appreciate the support that our school community gives us throughout the year. This support is an essential part of developing our students both academically and socially. Once again thank you for making it such a special day.
Principals Report
Curriculum Day – Friday 2nd December
On Friday 2nd December we will be conducting a Curriculum Day and students will not be required to attend school.
On this day, staff will be presenting their Action Research findings in the following areas:
Foundation – Investigative (Play Based) Learning
1/2s – Peer Observations
3/4s – Peer Observations
5/6s – Inquiry Based Approach
The purpose of Action Research is to explore evidence- based practice and apply this learning to the context of our own school. Each team will present a proposal with recommendations for the continual improvement of teaching and learning at our school in 2017.
On this day we will also be developing our knowledge of the new Victorian Curriculum, establishing planning documents and discussing the impact it will have on teaching and learning at our school.
Class Structures for 2017
We are currently looking at running with 18 classes for next year. The breakdown of classes will be as follows:
4 x Foundation 7 x Year 1/2s 4 x Year 3/4s 3 x Year 5/6s
This will allow the school to have 5 Professional Learning Teams, Foundation (4 teachers), Junior (4 teachers), Junior (3 teachers), Middle (4 teachers) & Senior (3 teachers)
We are currently finalising staffing for these teams and still have some interviewing and recruitment to complete.
Initially, most specialist classes will be run in the students' classrooms until the point we reach 400 students and receive more learning spaces from the department.
Removal of 1/2 Portable Classrooms
As communicated earlier in the year, the current 1/2 portable classrooms are being removed and replaced with brand new ones over the school holiday period.
The works will begin on Monday 12th December and therefore the Year 1/2 students will need to be relocated to different areas of the school prior to this. Below is an outline of the new learning spaces for each 1/2 class for the final few weeks.
1/2A Mrs Sinnema/Miss Ray will be moving to the Art Room.
1/2B Miss Naughton will be moving to the Learning Centre.
1/2C Mr Selby will be moving to the Social Skills Room.
1/2D Mr Ahern will be moving to the LOTE Room.
We will endeavour to facilitate the smooth movement of classes with as minimal disruption to student learning as possible.
2017 Enrolments
As our enrolment numbers push towards 400 students for 2017, we will qualify for 2 extra portable classrooms.
These classrooms will not be triggered by the Education Department until we reach this magical figure.
Ideally, we would like confirmation of these new buildings before the end of the year in order to get the process underway.
Currently we have 387 confirmed enrolments for next year.
If there are any members of our school community who know of parents/guardians looking to enrol their child at Clyde next year but haven't yet done so, please remind them to contact the school ASAP.
This will greatly benefit our workforce planning for 2017.
I would like to advise the school community that Mr Rob Newell will be leaving Clyde PS on November 11th to take up a position at the new school in Pakenham, John Henry PS as Business Manager. Rob has been a valuable asset to our school over the last 6 years and I know you will join me in wishing him well. Thank you for your contributions to our school Rob.
Clyde Primary School are extremely proud to announce that…….………
Next year we are offering Music as a Specialist Program!!
There will be some extremely exciting developments in this area in 2017 including the launch of Clyde TV!
Principal's Awards

PLT News
Social Skills
I recently read that often "We do not listen to improve our understanding but rather we listen in order to reply". Communication plays an important role in our everyday life but unfortunately many of us are losing the ability to communicate in a respectful way and often we do not listen to others. This can result in many adults and children not being able to understand why uncomfortable situations arise. Children often do not listen to parents or teachers and wait until things have been repeated many times, or they find themselves in an uncomfortable situation. They then become upset at the end result not realising they may have initiated the situation.
To help with this problem, students in Years Five and Six have been looking at recognising body language and then use this information to gain meaning. Different types of emotions/feelings are portrayed in the different situations we may find ourselves in each day. Therefore it is important to be able to read the signs before reacting. Reactions to situations influence whether a positive or negative response occurs. We have had many lively discussions about reactions to situations and what our own choices could be.
Students in Years Three and Four have continued to look at bullying – what makes a bully and how our own behaviour and actions are seen as either supporting or rejecting bullying. Through the use of books, problems are introduced and different interpretations are then discussed from the viewpoint of the bully and the victims. We do not want Bully Bystanders at Clyde Primary but everyone to be given the opportunity to be safe and happy here. Students had the opportunity to design a Super Hero who used special powers to stop bullying.
Younger students are also continuing to explore bullying and how behaviour can influence the reactions of family and friends. Story books helped lead discussion about how people feel when they are put in uncomfortable situations. Young children need to develop feelings of empathy and the skills to deal with situations when things do not go your way and how our own moods affect relationships with each other.
Term 4 is shaping up to be full of discovery for all year levels!
Foundations, Year One & Two
The Foundation, Year One and Year Two students have been immersed in Chemical Sciences. They have investigated how food can be mixed to form different products. In particular, how flour can be used to make bread and how gelatine can make jelly. The students will explore how the shapes of objects made from different materials can be physically changed through different actions, for example, bending and stretching.
Year Three & Four
The Year Three and Year Four students have been investigating the Sun, Earth and Moon, in particular their movements and sizes. The students will look at how the rotation of Earth causes changes, in particular night and day timescales. They will be creating models as part of their investigations.
Year Five & Six
Year Five and Six students have been continuing with renewable energy this term and have been working in collaborative learning teams, in order to construct a renewable energy model. We've seen some working models with some groups excitedly and proudly demonstrating their models to other classes.
This term in LOTE we are…
Students of the Middle school and Senior school have begun delving into Indonesian folktales. They have started to unpack a folktale based on the famous Kancil (mouse deer). Students enjoyed reading and acting this folktale out, and had some interesting ideas on what the ending of the folktale might be. Students are determining meaning and morals behind these folktales, helping them to improve their understanding Indonesian culture and history.
The Junior school are actively using their language skills and currency knowledge to decide on an Indonesian stall they would like to run in their classes Indonesian Pasar. Students are considering prices of items and have been practicing asking how much items are "Bearapa Banyak?".
Foundation students are revising their learnt language skills. Students are currently extending their knowledge of Indonesian knowledge. They are creating a facts page on an Indonesian animal currently.
Attendance News
What's the single most important word a student can say every day to boost achievement?
Attendance matters from the first day of school till the last day of school. Too many absences – explained or unexplained – can keep students from succeeding in school and life.
- Your children can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of the school year or about 20 days. That can be just one day every two weeks, and that can happen before you know it.
- Some absences are unavoidable. We understand that children will get sick and need to stay home occasionally. The important thing is to get your children to school as often as possible.
- Sporadic absences, not just those on consecutive days of school, matter. Before you know it – just one or two days a month can add up to nearly 10 percent of the school year.
- If too many absences occur, it is still a problem whether they are excused or unexcused because they represent too much lost learning time in the classroom.
- For younger children, you can set a regular bedtime and morning routine. Make sure they get 9 to 11 hours of sleep. You can lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
- For older children, you can help them develop homework and bedtime routines that allow for 8 ½ to 9 ½ hours of sleep. Make sure that when the lights go out, so do the mobile phones, iPads, video games and computers.
Above all, set an example for your child. Show him or her that attendance matters to you and that you won't allow an absence unless someone is truly sick.
For more information https://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/programs/archive/Pages/studentattendance.aspx
Congratulations to Foundation C for receiving this fortnights most improved attendance award.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for reading our newsletter. Our next edition should be available at the end of November.

Welcome to the Renal Unit, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie
Within Lanarkshire the living donor team are based at the Renal Unit, Monklands University Hospital. Potential live donors are welcome to make contact by letter phone call or email. Following this they will receive a living donor information pack and registration form. On receipt of this, one of the transplant nurses will make arrangements for an appointment.
The first consultation involves a full clinical history as well as a discussion covering the investigations and risks involved. If the donor wishes to proceed samples will be obtained for blood group and tissue type matching. The National Kidney Sharing Scheme is usually discussed so that the donor is aware they can still donate should the matching be unfavourable.
Preliminary investigations are carried out usually within 2 to 3 visits. Appointments are arranged at mutually convenient times, where possible, to obtain the necessary bloods and urine samples as well as blood pressure, weight, height and ECG. If any abnormalities are detected then this may result in further appointments being necessary.
Following these simple tests an appointment is arranged with the local nephrologist for full medical assessment including further discussion and counselling of the donor. A full physical examination is performed and if any further investigations or specialist referrals (for example cardiology/urology) are deemed necessary these would be arranged at this stage and further follow-up arranged.
If there are no issues a chest xray and renal ultrasound would be arranged and a referral would then be made to the transplant team in Glasgow to continue investigations.
It is important to note that not all potential donors are referred to Glasgow. They may be ruled out on medical grounds early in the process or following the nephrology review. The recipient may be unfit for transplant or too unstable at present and the donor maybe put on hold until a more appropriate time.
In the case of multiple donors coming forward for one recipient, we would generally only proceed with one or two donors leaving others in the background if required. The decision on who would proceed in this instance is based on a variety of factors and usually decided with the full involvement of the donors.
Contact the team
We are more than happy to be contacted by anybody who would like further information regarding living kidney donation using the contact details below.

Region Games
Main Story: The Woodstock Lacrosse program is in one of the toughest, if not the toughest, region in the state of Georgia. Their region consists of the former State champions, Lassiter, Pope, Roswell and Walton. Four of the top teams in the state, not to mention Etowah, and Creekveiw. They play
the majority of their region games in the month of March. So far, the team is 2-3 in all of their region games they've played. They have lost to Lassiter, Pope, and Walton but got a victory over Roswell and close victory over Creekveiw. The JV team 1-3, while they won and lost to the same teams as the varsity.
In order to make the playoffs you have to go over 500% in your region games and have 8 wins all and all. The wolverines have to beat Cherokee, and Etowah in mid- April in order to make the playoffs. The season goal all year has been to make the playoffs and then have a big impact in the
playoffs. For this to happen, they have to put a beating on Cherokee and Etowah, and then win out all the rest of the games, so they can get the best seed possible in the playoffs.
The girls program however, has only won one game all season and their hopes for the playoffs were lost a while ago. The JV girls sadly have not won a single game,and are struggling pretty hard. They continue to put in the work though, because they love the game even though thye may not be winning any games at all.
Varsity boys ended up March with a record of four-three. A way better record than the month of February when they went two-three. Obviously, something is working out for them while they continue to "Buy in" to the offense and defense that Coach Manderano brought to the program. Both coaches know that if all the teams buy in to the offense and defense that they will have success. " We have the talent we just need the mental part of the game" said Coach Manderano. What he is saying is that the talent throughout the teams is there, they just have to believe in themselves, and buy in to what the coach is telling us to do.
Coach Manderano knows what he is doing. He started the lacrosse program at Peidmont college in Alabama, and he started the lacrosse program at Kell high school. He also won back-to-back State championships at Lassiter High school. So yes, obviously what he does works, because he has won four State championships in his career of high school coaching. This is why time and time again he tells his players to buy in to what he is doing because he knows it wins championships because it has before.
In case you missed it: The month of March has been a positive one, with winning two clutch games against North Paulding and Rowell. Roswell was ranked 14th in the State before they played them, and North Paulding was supposed to beat them.
Wolverine of the Month: According to Coach Manderano and Coach Wren the boys varsiy wolverine of the month is Senior, Zach Gale. The Girls Wolverine of the Month is Senior, Carson Clark. For JV the WOTM is Sophomore, Michael Chelena. The JV girls one is Freshman, Mia Bosa.
Interesting Stat: The boys varsity and JV both have a worse record at home, then they do on the road. At home they are one-five and away they are five-one.
Interesting quotes: JV coach, Coach Wren has something he says to his boys before and after every practice. He says, "were all we got were all we need" Which means that the team might be a little short, but they only need each other to be successful.
Off the field: The team has been working on collecting cleats for kids that can't afford to pay for their own cleats. They have been doing this all year and plan to finish it up right before their last game of the season, and send it to the players in need.

All seminars will be presented in English and will be mainly oriented to graduate students, though open to anyone interested.
All seminars will be held in the Sala del Camino at 6 pm and will last approximately 90 minutes.
Engineers understanding
of earthquakes demand and structures response
The presentation will focus on the engineers understanding of the strength and displacement demands imposed to structures by earthquake motion, and on the structures capacities to withstand these demands, in a historical perspective. Without any claim of completeness or accurate critical assessment of the significance of various seismic events or of the scientific development of knowledge, the essential relevance of the lessons learnt from some seismic events is critically examined in parallel with the development of structural dynamics.
The story moves from a claimed use of some base isolation measure in the temple of Diana at Ephesus in the VI century B.C. (as mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia). It continues with the renaissance treaties, where in one case only some emphasis is placed on how to build a safe structure and passing through the first understanding of dynamic equilibrium (by Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton) arrives to the ages of enlightenment and the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.
The breakthrough towards modern seismic analysis is clearly identified with the two earthquakes of San Francisco (1906) and Messina (1908). In particular it is discussed how most of the fundamental principles used for a century had already been stated after the second one.
Spectra, ductility and performance based design are then identified as further milestones derived from earthquake evidence (e.g.: San Fernando, 1971, Loma Prieta, 1989, Kobe, 1995), to conclude with a critical appraisal of some major misunderstanding of structural response, with the merits of displacement based approaches, closing the circle opened with the temple of Diana presenting modern base isolation techniques.
Eventually, the evidence resulted from the most recent earthquakes in New Zealand, Japan etc. is introduced, commenting on what choices should be made to reduce seismic risk and construct safer structures.
Experiences and trends in seismic design and assessment of bridges
The lecture will review and discuss some relevant conceptual considerations for seismic design of different kind of bridges, including isolated and cable-stayed bridges.
The advantages and disadvantages of different structural solutions will be highlighted, reviewing alternatives for deck sections, tower configurations, in both the longitudinal and transverse direction, deck-to-pier connections, and cable arrangements, amongst other issues.
Some simple preliminary sizing procedure will be presented and discussed, with the aim of offering to designers a quick but rational means of identifying reasonable member sizes for cable-stayed bridges that should then be verified through advanced analyses in the detailed design stages of the project.
The subject of repair and strengthening existing bridges will also be touched, more or less extensively, depending on available time.
Some real case study applications will be introduced, comparing preliminary and final design member sizes and showing that intelligent preliminary sizing procedures may be a useful tool for design.
L'Aquila earthquake 2009:
reconstruction between temporary and definitive
The presentation describes the reconstruction intervention after the L'Aquila earthquake of April 6, 2009. Approximately 4,500 apartments were built in 8 months, all in buildings isolated by friction pendulum bearings (more than 7,000 devices were employed). The main aspects related to the logic developed to operate in such a tight time are briefly addressed, with particular reference to structural choices and response of the isolated buildings.
Full scale dynamic testing of more than 400 devices and on site testing of fifteen complete buildings shed light on the behaviour of curved friction sliders and on their combined response with building structures.
Thousands non linear analyses of the buildings, performed using actual experimental data, allowed to estimate the maximum base shear that could be attained in each case, in general lower than 20 % of the weight of the building. Such value was always acceptable considering a low damage performance level, consistent with the full use of the buildings following a 500 years return period ground motion. The small change in the base shear for larger events and the very small interstorey drift demand, together with the displacement capacity of the isolating system, largely in excess of any reasonable demand, make the buildings essentially insensitive to any potential earthquake.
Concepts and technologies for friction-based isolation of buildings
The presentation will start with a critical review of the historical development of base isolation concepts and techniques, discussing the reasons of an undeniable success in practical applications and focusing specifically on various alternatives friction-based technology.
In the last thirty years, devices based on sliding on curved surfaces, characterized by low friction coefficients, have become quite popular. It is well known that such devices are essentially blocked until the acting shear is larger than the vertical force multiplied by the friction coefficient and are then characterized by a stiffness value (K) that depends on borne weight (W) and radius of curvature (r), as: K = W/r. This second stiffness is considered fundamental to contain the residual displacement, but it implies two negative aspects, i.e.: the reduction of the energy dissipated per cycle (which implies a lower equivalent damping and a larger displacement demand) and the increased shear capacity (which implies designing the isolated structure for larger shear demand and more extensive nonstructural damage).
Consequently, some questions arise:
• Is it really fundamental to limit the residual displacement?
• Are alternative ways of limiting this displacement conceivable and applicable?
These and other relevant questions are related to technology advancement and reliability:
• How reliable is the definition of a nominal value for the friction coefficient?
• How relevant is the effect of stick slip? Can it be eliminated?
• How dependable is the friction coefficient at variable velocities and vertical forces?
• How accurately can friction coefficient and radius of curvature of the surfaces be varied?
These subjects will be examined and alternative technological solutions will be proposed, showing that it is theoretically and practically possible to obtain cycles of the kinds shown in the figure below.
Such cycle shapes imply noticeable variation in displacement demand, residual displacement and design shear. These aspects will be emphasized and critically analyzed referring to the results of an extensive numerical investigation.
The driven conclusions will address the problem of developing and applying the most cost-effective solutions, depending on seismicity, use of the building and target performances.
Seismic assessment and rational renovation of the structural heritage
The intelligent application of Newton's and Hooke's laws, the development of response and design spectra and of capacity design principles have not been sufficient to protect human life and constructed environment from nature's whims. Today's frontiers are related to the impossible comparison of resources and needs, and consequently to the best use of the available resources, in terms of funding, but as well of time, manpower, advanced techniques.
A first difficulty is associated with the problem of defining a common measure of risk, for different kind of structures and infrastructures, including apparently distant effects, such as business interruption, traffic detour, increased pollution, value of the cultural heritage.
A second basic problem relates to our capacity of appropriately evaluating the effect of different, traditional and innovative, strengthening techniques, in the same terms of global economical benefits.
This presentation will discuss these subjects from a critical viewpoint, emphasizing the possible criteria for the mitigation of seismic risk and some of the alternative choices that may be adopted for strengthening, with reference to:
(a) the modification of damage and collapse modes strengthening individual elements or locally increasing the deformation capacity;
(b) the insertion of additional systems resisting to horizontal actions;
(c) the introduction of base isolation, with the objective of capacity-protecting the existing structure;
(d) the reduction of displacement demand by added damping or introducing tuned mass systems.
Examples will refer to major bridges and historical buildings as well as to problems of induced seismicity in historically relevant areas.
Energy efficiency and disaster resilience: a common approach
A proposal for integrated assessment of energy efficiency and earthquake resilience outlines the scope of a multi-disciplinary procedure in which environmental and seismic impact metrics are translated into common financial decision making variables.
In the context of seismic risk assessment, one of the most important outputs for communication with insurance companies, governmental agencies and other decision making entities is the Expected Annual Loss (EALS), which translates the mean value of economic loss (i.e. cost of repair or rebuilding operations) that a building (or group of buildings) will sustain annually over its life-span due to seismic action. The value of EALS should also account for losses related to operational and indirect costs, also referred as downtime (e.g. costs due to business interruption and people temporary re-allocation).
An analogue reasoning is employed when incorporating the energy efficiency analysis in the equation, by defining an energy Expected Annual Loss (EALE) that can directly be compared with its seismic counterpart (EALS). Thus, if one chooses to consider the building value as the common denominator, the EALE can be determined as the ratio between the mean annual cost (referred herein as loss) of consumed energy and total building value, within a compatible base of comparison:
Similarly to what is common practice when evaluating the energy and environmental performance of buildings, discrete classes of both earthquake resilience and energy efficiency are proposed, providing a consistent proxy for building classification - Green and Resilient Indicators (GRI) - as a function of EALE (Green Indicator) and EALS (Resilient Indicator):
This approach allows to directly compare the expected performance of a building in terms of seismic resilience and energy efficiency and the benefit-cost ratios of investment necessary to upgrade a given GRI class.
Revisiting seismic demand, structure capacity and design spectra
For several decades, seismologists and engineers have been struggling to perfect the shape of design spectra, analyzing recorded signals and speculating on probabilities. This research effort produced several improvements, for example suggesting to adopt more than one period to define a spectral shape, or proposing different spectral shapes as a function of the return period of the design ground motion.
However, the basic assumption of adopting essentially three fundamental criteria, i.e.: constant acceleration at low periods, constant displacement at long periods, constant velocity in an intermediate period range, has never been really questioned.
In this contribution, the grounds of a constant velocity assumption is discussed and shown to be disputable and not physically based. Spectral shapes based on different logics are shown to be consistent with the experimental evidence of several hundred recorded ground motions and to lead to significant differences in terms of displacement and acceleration demand.
The main parameters considered to define the seismic input are magnitude and epicenter distance, but the possible influence of other parameters – such as focal depth and fault distance, duration and number of significant cycles, local amplification – are discussed.
Novel forms of ground motion prediction equations and of hazard maps may result from this approach.
The implications on design and assessment will also be addressed, considering case studies derived from recent tectonics events (i.e. the Central Italy sequence of 2016) and from induced seismicity (i.e. the case of the Groningen region in the Netherlands).
Specific points of interest include the generation and adaptation of acceleration and displacement time histories for design, the possibility of including the effects of energy dissipation on the side of capacity rather than on that of demand, the consistent generation of floor spectra for design and assessment of non structural elements.
Education and research in seismic engineering:
an inextricable Gordian knot
At the time of the Imperial Valley earthquake of 18 May 1940 George Housner was a ph. d. student at Caltech. At El Centro the first (and for decades the only) strong motion signal was recorded, thus becoming the paradigm of a strong earthquake epicentral ground motion.
Though the concept of elastic response spectrum – which summarizes the peak response of all possible linear single-degree-of-freedom systems to a particular component of ground motion – was first intuitively conceived in Japan, by Suheiro, in 1926, the most significant advancements in its theoretical development took place at Caltech, with contributions by Von Karman, Biot, Hudson, Popov and others (even Fung, later the father of biomechanics gave some contribution).
How relevant was the interconnection between education and research, to produce one of the fundamental concept in earthquake engineering?
How fundamental was the educational context in the formation of the person who forty nine years later inspired the famous report "Competing against time", following the Loma Prieta Earthquake?
In the seventies and around, the faculty in earthquake engineering at UC Berkeley was regarded as a sort of "dream team", never repeated elsewhere in any time. What have been its effects in the progress of knowledge and how can a similar experience be repeated?
What was the link that made possible in a university at the periphery of the world (Canterbury, New Zealand) to have Paulay, Park, Priestley in a row, at an exact spacing of ten years, producing some of the best books still used worldwide in seismic design and the capacity design concept? What is its legacy?
All these questions, and the answers to them, are at the base of the conception and development of the ROSE School in Pavia, Italy, more or less consciously.
The objective of this seminar is to try to extricate and follow each strand of the Gordian knot of research and education in earthquake engineering: an impossible task, though possibly an exciting experience.
