How to streamline your sales communication? Sync your cold emailing tool with a customer relationship management solution (CRM). It will result in fast and relevant communication with your prospects. Yet, with all those tools on the market, how to choose one that suits your needs? Woodpecker integrates with tools, like Pipedrive or Teamgate, but I reached out to Kashyap from Salesmate.io to tell me how to decide which CRM to pick and how to assess its compatibility with a tool like Woodpecker.
You can take it from here, Kashyap.
How To Find The CRM That Works Great With a Cold Emailing Tool
In the last couple of years, not only we've seen an evolution in the cold email world, but how the entire sales work. Cold emailing is a small part of the sales process, there's a lot more to what we call sales conversion.
To effectively convert more sales deals, you need the best CRM software that can make things easier for your business and streamline processes. More importantly, a CRM that can gel well with a cold emailing tool to make the lead gen process smooth.
In this article, I'm discussing what you should look for in a CRM to run your sales effortlessly.
What are the essential features of a CRM then?
#1. Contact Management
This feature is useful before cold emailing starts. Contact management software, like our Salesmate, holds every tiny detail of your prospects or customers, like name, email, address, social media profiles, etc. Basically, this is the place where you can store the data of your contacts.
Many CRMs offer a 360° view of the contact that gives you information on the deal status, log activity or even show you conversational history, like all the email or calls you've exchanged with the contact, as well as shared files, etc.
Why is it useful in cold emailing?
For cold emailing, CRMs with the contact management feature will help you create segmented contact lists using various tags. These lists will eventually be used in the cold emailing process.
Plus, some CRMs also offer integrations with tools like ClearBit that give you additional data, like social media handles, alternative email address, company details, etc. A kind of information that eventually empowers you to easily personalize your messages in a more relevant way.

#2. Integrations
The opportunity for integration is one of the most important things to consider while choosing the best CRM for your business. The more integration options, the more flexibility you have in importing or exporting data.
Today, good CRMs offer integrations with a panoply of apps that facilitate sales and marketing at your company. They can connect natively or use API integrators like Zapier or PieSync.
Why is it useful in cold emailing?
Talking specifically about cold emailing, the integration will help you automatically transfer prospect lists right into an emailing tool (like Woodpecker), and shoot emails. You'll be running campaigns based on these lists, and following up with the contacts who've shown interest in your product/services.
Additionally, the cold email campaign activity can be reflected in your CRM. You can set a relevant status to those who replied to your emails and have it marked in your CRM.
#3. Sales Pipeline
The sales pipeline is one of the important things to consider while picking up a CRM for your company. It lets you control the whole sales process and gives you a clear idea of where you should put the most effort. A clear sales pipeline answers the following questions:
- How many deals are in the pipeline currently and what stage they're at?
- How many prospects have shown interest in your product/service?
- How many prospects will be converting into paid customers?
- What is the conversion rate of your cold emailing efforts?
Moreover, having a sales pipeline in a CRM tells you what to focus on to close more deals. Here are some additional benefits to having sales pipeline management:
- Know exactly at what stage you're dropping most of the prospects.
- Recognize which stage is your strongest or the weakest in performance?
- Customize sales process according to your business.
- Create multiple pipelines for each service/products.
- Track your sales representative's performance.
The sales pipeline is used for a better conversion with cold emailing. It gives you a clear idea of where your prospects are, so you can send them a relevant cold emailing campaign. Additionally, it gives you insight into your entire interaction with a prospect so you know what to put in a snippet for higher conversion.
#4. Deal Management
Digging a little bit deeper in the sales pipeline management, the next feature you should look for is deal management. With this feature, you can effectively manage each deal, and find the exact status. Here are some of the benefits of deal management:
- Accurate deal forecasting.
- Filtering and sorting of deals for smooth management.
- Drag and drop deals to set priority.
- Get deal insights and follow conversation timeline.
The benefit of having a deal management feature is very clear. Qualitative deal insights help you to optimize your campaigns with activity management. It's a petri dish for A/B testing. With deal management, you can discover what elicits replies from your target group.
With a drag-and-drop feature that sets priority, you know which lead you should definitely pursue. You can prioritize qualified leads and send them a super-personal email outreach blast while devoting less time to those who have a low chance of converting.
#5. Activity Management
Activity management is one of the important features in CRM you should look for. With activity management, you can plan, track, and organize sales activities. You can also assign activities to the relevant teammates and track the status of the deals.
Here are some of the benefits of having activity tracking in a CRM
- Create and plan recurring activities in your pipeline.
- Get the exact idea where your team is investing time.
- Assign activities automatically to the right team member.
By planning activities, you can filter through deals and create reactivation campaigns. Or you can upsell or cross-sell them with an email campaign that you have at hand in your cold emailing tool.
#6. Shared Inbox
This feature leans more towards Customer Support when the deal is closed (when the hustle is over and prospects turn into paid customers). Shared team inbox helps your team collaborate effectively by keeping them all on the same page.
Shared team inbox is about keeping the transparency in customer communication. So, all the members can get a regular update when a new message pops up. Any member of your team can follow up or send emails, but all members get notified.
If a customer is close to churning, your customer support can alarm the customer success team to do something about it. Now, you can create an anti-churn campaign using a tool like Woodpecker to learn what's wrong.
So, these are the features that you should be looking for while finding a CRM. One of the most important things is compatibility with cold emailing tools. So make sure the CRM you choose has solid integration with the cold emailing tools you're using.
Thanks, Kashyap, that was really insightful. Woodpecker integrates with Salesmate or Teamgate via Zapier and with Pipedrive natively.

1997 Callaway Sauvignon Blanc, Temecula ($9).
Sauvignon blancs can be rather austere, severe and overtly herbal wines. The Callaway is none of the above. This fresh, fruity, dry wine from Southern California is a delight for spring and summer consumption. There's plenty of melon and peach fruit, and the herbal flavors play a supporting role. There seems to be a touch of residual sugar, but that might just be the generous fruit leaving an impression of sweetness. This is an excellent choice to serve someone who's just learning about sauvignon blanc.

Although the software giant has been gearing up for the city directory rollout for months, the launch date had been kept under wraps until today. Later, Sidewalk will launch sites for New York, Boston, San Francisco, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Washington D.C., San Diego, and Sydney, Australia.
"Sidewalk is your city guide to entertainment, published by Microsoft," the company's Web site reads. "Sidewalk is personalized. You pick the topics--restaurants, movies, music, the arts. We'll sort through the possibilities and bring the best directly to you."
Yet the company will find that competitors already have local sites in place. This week, for example, US West Interactive launched DiveIn in ten U.S. cities, including Seattle. In addition, Digital City will detail its plans to migrate to the Web next month. CitySearch and Yahoo also are expanding their city directories.
Microsoft hopes to make its content stand out by offering more depth and detail, however. Some media critics have questioned whether Microsoft has the expertise to deliver editorial content as effectively as software products.
Microsoft recently released a list of nine national advertisers that would support its launch, including Bank of America and Seafirst Bank, Barnes & Noble, BMW of North America, CitiBank, Club Med Sales, Prudential Real Estate, United Airlines, and Visa U.S.A.

way too expensive for a serve yourself kind of place. food is ok, but other burger joints locally serve better burgers for way less. Loud, trendy, pricey, no real service. Tables were a mess when we went, no clean place to sit. Patio area was flush with kids birthday party. I wouldn't return.
The burgers are the best burgers in Dallas that alone makes them deserve 5 stars they have great gluten free buns but sadly the liberty burger mustard is not gluten free:( and the fries are not in a dedicated fryer

text: VISION STATEMENT: Petite Riviere is a creative school, which respects individuals and nurtures their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth in a challenging and safe environment. Petite Riviere Elementary School is located in Petite Riviere, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is a small, cozy, elementary school. Here at Petite we have a soccer field, a basketball court and a regular sized playground. Our playground is surrounded by beautiful trees and grassy areas to play tag and other fun games. We have 90 students and 3 buses that take the students to and from the school. At Petite, we have a tremendous amount of volunteers who help out at our school. At the bottom of the schoolyard, you can see some of the beautiful Petite River, but if you go down on our trail, which is named the Little River Trail, you can see most of the river. Down the trail we have a place to sit and observe the wildlife. School History The Mi'kmaq were the first settlers in Petite Riviere. In 1604, the ship on which Samuel de Champlain travelled, anchored in Green Bay. He named our village Petite Riviere (small river) Later in 1632, additional French settlers came to settle our village. Petite Riviere Elementary School opened on November 1st, 1961. Jessie Crouse was the principal when the first school opened. They closed the old school and sold it to Mr. Malcolm MacLeod. The following information is taken from the text The Rising Village by Malcolm G Parks. On May 8, 1604, Samuel de Champlain anchored his ship, Dom de Dieu, in Green Bay. Champlain drew charts of the area, and on them, he named the river, Petite Riviere. In time, this became the name of the village. In 1632, some of the French colonists that landed in LaHave, settled in Petite Riviere. The next group of early settlers, made up of Scots-Irish, German, and British-American, arrived between the years 1767 and 1770. Descendants of these settlers are still living in the village today. The first school house in the village was located across from what is now Fraser's House on the Italy Cross Road, just up from the United Church Manse. This school was supported by fees paid by the families of the students. The first public school was built in the 1860's. It was situated on the Broad Cove Road, next to the Frasers, just past the corner of the Broad Cove and Italy Cross Roads. It was a two-room single-storey building. This lasted for 43 years, and in 1910, was torn down. The new school, called the Seaview School, was a two-storey building. The lower grades were on the ground floor, and the higher grades were upstairs. In 1961,this school was replaced by the present Petite Riviere Elementary School on Wentzell's Road and contained grades primary to six. For the first time, after grade six, students had to leave the village and travel by bus to the Hebbville School. A Brief History of Petite Riviere Elementary School 1961-present Petite Riviere Elementary School officially opened on November 1, 1961. It replaced a two room school, called Sea View School that was located on the top of Spikes Hill in Petite Riviere, and one room schools in the communities of Crousetown, Broad Cove, Cherry Hill, and West Dublin. When the present Petite Riviere School was opened, Mrs. Jessie Crouse agreed to be principal and was principal from September 1961 until June 1975. The present school was built on a section of the Wentzell farm and for the 11 years when Anne Wade was principal, the Grade 6 classes would hold archaeological digs in the present softball field where they found artifacts of old farm buildings. The school served all of the surrounding communities from Voglers Cove to Mount Pleasant, to Crousetown, West Dublin and the LaHave Islands. Many of the students from the LaHave Islands came by boat in the mornings to the government wharf at Bush Island to meet the school bus. The first school buses were privately owned by Jimmy Seaboyer and there were only two buses so there was a second bus run and some children had to stay at school until 4:00 p.m. each day to wait for their bus. When Petite Riviere Elementary School opened there were eight classrooms with 214 students. When Anne Wade became principal in 1975, there were approximately 180 students and that year there were only seven classrooms. The enrolment has continued to decline from that time. From 1986 until 1992, Elmer Garber was principal. Following Elmer Garber, Dave Patrick was principal until June 1996. Karen Jay-Moore was principal from September 1996 until June 2000. Next were Joyce Veinote Gates, Allan Turner, Joanne MacNeil, Janet Baxter, Leslie Jones and the present principal is Scott Rawding.Over the years Petite School has experienced many changes. Gradually there were fewer classrooms and combined classes became a reality in the school. Former classrooms became a staffroom, a music room, a library and a resource classroom. We presently enjoy the positive effect of smaller class sizes. The standards of education continue to rise. Students from Petite Riviere Elementary excel academically and in extracurricular activities. Our students have won and are continuing to win national and provincial awards in science, mathematics, writing and citizenship. They are being recognized for their academic and leadership qualities when they go on to junior and senior high school.

A trio of prominent economists on Friday said they were worried the Federal Reserve is taking its eye off the risks of higher inflation.
Although there is little actual evidence yet, the theory that a low unemployment rate can boost wages and then selling prices — a relationship known as the Phillips Curve — "is not dead," the economists said.
"The Fed should not be complacent about inflationary pressures," the economists said.
The paper was written by Peter Hooper, global head of economic research at Deutsche Bank Securities, former Fed Gov. Frederic Mishkin and Amir Sufi, an economics professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. It was presented at a forum on interest-rate policy sponsored by Booth and attended by several senior Fed officials.

The U.S. central bank has clearly become less worried in the last few months about the economy overheating due to tight labor markets.
All last year, the Fed raised interest rates at a steady pace, saying it needed to offset the risk that the economy would overheat and inflation break out.
Opinion: What the Fed doesn't know about inflation could cost you your job
The central bank has taken a U-turn on policy this year, saying it can be "patient" and no longer needs to keep gradually raising interest rates. Officials pointed out that inflation pressures were "muted." St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, an influential dove on the central bank, has argued that the Phillips Curve correlation "have broken down during the last two decades."
Bullard said his Phillips Curve argument is starting to carry the day at the Fed.
In their paper, the researchers said there is a risk that inflation could swiftly break out of its recent doldrums "especially if political pressures begin to influence market expectations." That's what happened in the 1960s, they noted.
Top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow has recently talked about stocking the Fed board with people who are not worried about inflation. President Donald Trump has publicly blasted the Fed on several occasions for last year's rate increases.
Read:Kudlow suggests Trump seeks like-minded nominees for Fed
"If political pressure leads the FOMC to move to a belief that a rapidly expanding economy poses no inflationary dangers, there would be a shift toward policy views that were present in the 1960s" that led to the stagflation of the 1970s, they noted.
In a response to the paper, New York Fed President John Williams said he thought the Phillips Curve correlation was "alive and kicking."
Williams said that the data shows the Phillips Curve correlation still exists, particularly if you exclude some goods and use mainly services prices.
Williams said the central bank must be "vigilant" about inflation moving up or down and how the public expects inflation to behave over the longer term. Not only should the Fed worry about higher inflation, it must be alert to declining inflation expectations, he said.
The New York Fed president said the Fed should review its 2% inflation target to make sure it takes account for expectations moving in both directions.
He noted that inflation has persistently undershot the Fed's 2% target during this expansion.
"This persistent undershoot of the Fed's target risks undermining the 2% inflation anchor," he said.
"The risk of the inflation expectations anchor slipping toward shore calls for a reassessment of the dominant inflation targeting framework," Williams added.
The Fed is spending this year gathering public comment on whether it should stick to the 2% inflation target.
Some U.S. central bankers want to adopt a target range for inflation. Others back a target that would allow overshoots of the 2% target if there have been persistent undershooting.
In her comments, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly agreed the Phillips Curve relationship remains a "useful guide" for the U.S. central bank.
She agreed with Williams that the Fed should pay equal attention to any indication that inflation is rising above or moderating below the Fed's 2% target.
Neither Daly or Williams expressed any concern that inflation is on the brink of breaking out on the upside.

If you are planning on traveling to Cuba, now that the US-Cuban relations are thawing, and you are thinking about packing your favorite UAV to get some amazing aerial footage, do yourself a favor and leave it at home. From The Verge:
Dane Christensen was entering Cuba in February when a customs official pulled him aside: he was carrying a DJI Phantom, which the officials viewed as a kind of contraband. The drone was seized at the border, and stored at customs until Christensen left the country. "It was my full intention to use my drone to get some amazing shots of the beaches and Cubanos surfing," Christensen says. Unfortunately, without the drone, all Christensen's footage had to be handheld.
Hot tip: Do not bring your drone to Cuba | The Verge.

Metal processing, preservation of its properties, increase in service life interested since the middle of the 18th century. The first method of protection of steel against corrosion and harmful effects was invented. Today, the method of holding the metal in the zinc melt is applicable in many areas, primarily construction and industry:
The high popularity of the method provided numerous advantages:
To obtain the best possible result, it is recommended to take into account the features of the procedure. Products allowed for hot-dip galvanizing in Naberezhnye Chelny are limited in size by the dimensions of the ceramic bath, where the prepared part is immersed. Small steel elements should not be overloaded with an additional layer of zinc. Large parts cannot be completely placed in a ceramic container.
During the processing of products should pay special attention to the parts of the parts with thread and bolts. They are more prone to corrosion. Thoroughly coat the threads of the zinc is difficult.
To strengthen a metalwork by means of such method as hot-dip galvanizing Naberezhnye Chelny give the chance completely automated, with use of the modern equipment. Qualification of the employee does not play a decisive role – each process is performed in a special machine.
The cost of the procedure remains the lowest among similar operations. Yet the price varies. At a full complex of services, including drying of the galvanized product and confirmation of compliance of quality of work to GOST, the price will be higher. Check the thickness and strength of the coating can be independently using a hammer or steel cutter.
We have brought the technology of hot-dip galvanizing to perfection and are rightly proud of it. They deserved an impeccable reputation, acquired a large base of loyal customers who are satisfied that they chose us as a reliable performer.

Masindi. President Museveni has advised church leaders and elders to be agents of positive change in order to keep peace in the country.
In his message read by Prof Ephraim Kamuntu, the minister of Tourism, at the fundraising ceremony of Masindi Cathedral Church, the President said church leaders should embark on mobilising communities for developmental projects.
"We count on you to sensitise and teach people the value of hard work and self-reliance," Mr Museveni said.
The President said churches which have been agents of positive change no longer rely on missionary funds for development.
"In the past, we used to rely on missionaries but now we raise our own funds for our projects," he said.
He dismissed claims from some Ugandans that the government has not defended the people's individual rights and freedom.
Call for dialogue
"We shall remain focused on defending people's individual freedom and freedom of worship," Mr Museveni said.
Masindi Kitara Diocese Bishop George William Kasangaki urged leaders to ensure that there is peace.
"If all fails leaders should embrace dialogue to resolve any disagreement," Bishop Kasangaki said.
The President contributed Shs10m towards the reconstruction of the church, which is expected to cost Shs4.6b.

A month after a European Parliament committee approved a host of measures designed to reduce roadway fatalities, the European Commission signed off on the plan. New vehicles sold in Europe starting in 2022 stand to be more connected and nanny-like than ever, with speed limiters being just one of the mandatory safety features.
Other features include connection points for alcohol ignition interlock devices, driver monitoring cameras, and a range of lesser tech that drivers might actually approve of.
The European Commission is the arm of the EY tasked with proposing and implementing legislation. While the plan still requires final approval from European Parliament and EU member states, that's pretty much a formality at this point.
Automakers will need to ensure that new models introduced after May 2022 have all of the kit on hand, though they'll have until May of 2024 to outfit existing models with the gear.
It's a long list of features, the most significant being intelligent speed assistance (ISA) systems that can restrain vehicles from exceeding posted speed limits. (Ronnie explains these systems in detail in the link at the top of the page.) The other big addition are driver monitoring cameras, designed to send audio and visual warnings to the driver if the camera detects signs of distraction or drowsiness, and the ability for easy install of alcohol interlock devices. Accident data recorders will be on board to help investigators determine the cause of your crash.
Other features fall into the category of driver-assist tech, often found in a pricey optional technology package (in America, anyway). Advanced automatic emergency braking, lane holding, and backup cameras will be mandatory.
With these features on board, the European Commission anticipates the saving of 25,000 lives by 2038.

Barron's Says Dr Pepper Snapple Could Rise 25% This YearBarron's said shares Dr Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE:DPS) have leapt 150% in the past year, but the stock still has ample room to climb as it trades at a significant discount to giant rivals Coca Cola (NYSE:KO) and PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) -- and the company has some large, underappreciated opportunities for expansion.
The stock could rise 25%, to more than $40, according to Barron's.
Barron's said, "The consensus expectation of analysts, which could well prove to be too cautious, is for earnings to jump by 17% this year, to $2.30, and another 10% in 2011, to $2.51. That leaves the shares trading at 14.8 times 2010 profit, below the soft-drink industry's average multiple of 15.6."

Tor's Branding Pivot is Going to Get Someone Killed
Aka, human rights activism meets the Cobra Effect
Three weeks ago, The Tor Project, Inc. published their Tor Social Contract. The media covered the contract but focused on the policy not to backdoor their own software (as though that were surprising?). Regrettably, the media missed a real story lying in plain sight — the first bullet:
1. We advance human rights by creating and deploying usable anonymity and privacy technologies.
This bullet is a continuation of Tor's new mission statement adopted in August 2015 which reads:
"To advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding."
Collectively, these two policy documents pivot The Tor Project, Inc. from an organization that was foremost about privacy technology to an organization that is foremost about human rights (HR) where privacy technology is the chosen means to the end.
Naïve observers may see little difference, but this pivot has deep ramifications. In western liberal democracies (where Tor is overwhelmingly based, and by raw numbers, largely serves) human-rights advocacy has better optics than privacy. But the opposite is true in the regions that Tor aims to serve. Privacy empowers the individual. Empowering the individual naturally dovetails with human rights, so it's plausible that greater human rights is a natural byproduct of privacy advocacy. However, Tor's pivot from "Privacy Enthusiasts" to "Human Rights Watch for Nerds" substantially increases the risk of imprisonment to those operating a Tor relay or using the Tor Browser Bundle from less HR-friendly regions.
For example, in Singapore (where I live), the government absolutely does not care for what they term "Western human rights" and views them, at best, as a handicap in maximizing GDP, and at worst, as cultural imperialism. But despite their dim view of human rights, Singaporean authorities top-to-bottom are fanatical about reducing corruption. Most importantly, Singapore's love of anti-corruption exceeds its apprehension about human-rights-laden privacy enhancing technologies. Tor's rebranding from privacy to HR activism takes exactly the same activity — using Tor or running a Tor node — and makes it vastly easier for an enterprising authority to stretch it to be liable for indefinite detention without trial. Singapore's attitude here is representative of the cultural terrain from China to Indonesia, which constitutes, I kid you not, about 1/3 of the world population.
The Internet's core protocol, TCP/IP, was created for "message passing", not "message passing for human rights". Personally, if I were branding Tor, I would brand it along the lines of, "privacy-enhanced TCP/IP", and then downplay any specific applications. This is a branding even China could support.
Pigeonholing a generic technology like Tor into the human rights category makes it immensely harder to justify using Tor as part of generic (non-human-rights related) communications. For example, say you're a sysadmin at a local business wishing to further secure its comms. You propose running a Tor node or using Tor internally. This was just something you could do (if perhaps a bit overzealous), but if asked you justifiably reply defense against corporate espionage matters. After Tor's pivot, you now have to justify why the company is using software explicitly designed for banned HR activism — why is this worth drawing the government's ire? Using Tor is now an additional mild liability for all non-HR users.
In profound irony, Tor's pivot especially hurts local users who would use Tor for human rights. Say you're an Asian HR activist — choosing one, would you prefer:
- A poignant mission statement and social contract saying Tor, unsurprisingly, supports your noble cause.
- A larger local anonymity set by including non-HR users, faster performance via local relays, and greater plausible deniability, so that your mere use of Tor is less suspicious?
To my surprise, Tor management believes (1) is more valuable than (2). Call me an idealist, but I believe that, for infrastructure like Tor, the greater efficacy of (2) takes priority over the emotional self-satisfaction of (1). Demonstrating how complete the transformation is within Tor, arguing this is deemed VERY SUSPICIOUS. And, I kid you not, that suspicion yields Tor management's thumbs-up.
As a born-and-bred American, I get the human-rights motivation — I really do. But the "Human Rights Watch for Nerds" branding gives decidedly-unfriendly-and-opportunistic-authorities full license to do as they please with Tor operators or anyone who uses Tor (regardless of whether their usage is HR related!). Yet a large portion of Tor is so drunk on self-righteousness they can't recognize they are wantonly increasing their users' risks. Here's a more familiar analogy illustrating the regional equivalent of what Tor has done. Imagine Tor canonized a new policy document stating:
"The Tor Project proudly advances drug-use by creating and deploying usable anonymity and privacy technologies so people around the world can circumvent local drug laws."
Thereafter, anytime an authority sees anything Tor, any enterprising officer has full-authority to proceed for investigating a drug-crime whereas before ze did not. I do not know how to make this more clear.
During my undergraduate years (2002–2007), I admired Tor's skillful treading on the tightrope separating three groups who rarely got along:
- the military-industrial complex among its funders
- the anarcho-capitalist cypherpunks among its early operators
- the potpourri of left-wing activists among its most dedicated users
I'm sure it was a difficult balance—but I argue this uneasy balance was the secret sauce of Tor's success, as Tor was perhaps the only thing these disparate groups could agree on! Unfortunately, modern Tor has firmly rejected the first group, rebuffed the second, and filled the resulting vacuum with one of the worst aspects of the third — purity politics and prioritizing virtue statements over mission efficacy.
Tor's branding pivot is misguided, damaging for global privacy, and ironically, harmful to Asian human rights. Anonymity requires not just company, it requires diverse company, yet Tor has increased the barrier-to-entry for all local non-HR Tor users. This something Tor has brought upon itself, and they are knowingly throwing their most vulnerable users under the bus.
After seven years of proud service to Tor including: founding Tor2web, Roster, and Toroken, as well as writing a Tor Tech Report and running several high-performance relays, I am resigning because:
- Given my residency in Southeast Asia, Tor's pivot creates nonnegligible risk for me personally.
- I do not trust an organization which prefers reaping modest public relations benefits within comparably cozy jurisdictions over the security of its neediest users taking the majority of the risk.
Tor is carefully positioning itself away from the efficacious privacy promotor it used to be. 💔
1. Theory for the Pivot
In discussing this post, one of my colleagues opined that, from a management perspective, the pivot towards human rights is actually great for fundraising in the West. With modern Tor Project placing getting off defense-industrial funding at top priority, new funding must come in. And if a byproduct of that new funding demands throwing the most vulnerable users under the bus…well, that's just the price for those users to pay.
So, lets take a step back. The primary reason for Tor to distance from defense money is so it's not perceived to be a puppet of the West. The optics will look better to casual observers, but dropping defense funding for building products and pivoting towards human rights grants will, ideologically speaking, surprisingly have the opposite effect.
2. Keep using Tor? Yes please.
Togg_ remarks my argument is akin to,
To which I can only respond,
The claim is that Tor is recklessly endangering the most disadvantaged users — not that you shouldn't use Tor. If strong human rights advocacy is kosher in your jurisdiction, Tor is your jurisdictional privilege to preferentially enjoy; so please do enjoy it!
3. "Following The Users" vs "Serving the Neediest"
Alec Muffet articulates a level-headed, sensible argument for the HR-pivot by asserting it's an adaption to better serve Tor's existing user base. And when breaking down the user counts, this means Tor should adapt to serve: United States, Russia, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Brazil, Japan, Italy, Span, and Canada. Aggregating across these jurisdictions, a pivot from "foremost Privacy" to "foremost Human Rights" is an immense win. So while yes, this pivot does shortchange Asia, but on the total number of users it's a win. So deal with it.
To which I can only respond,
"Following the users" is a wholly satisfactory long-term strategy — but it is incompatible with Tor's rhetoric of "serving the neediest in non-HR-friendly jurisdictions", which may be okay! However, I take Tor's rhetoric at face value, and I perhaps naïvely, presumed others do as well. If Tor wishes to follow its rhetoric, this pivot is likely to do long-lasting harm.
4. Can Tor still care about human rights? YES.
Dr. Bryan Ford and Kragen Sitaker opine:
Two responses:
- The goal is to get world-wide deployment, not protest The Man. If TCP/IP had been branded as "robust communications for human rights activists", it would have never been deployed outside the West and failed in greater unifying the world.
- Empirically speaking, in Asia, being foremost "Privacy" (of which HR is invariably a component!) has largely worked. But making human rights the utmost thing Tor foremost does hands officers full license to attack with prejudice, and moreover invokes the already established top-down incentives for officers to do so.
In short, no pretending required. Tor just needs to have a larger, louder, message (e.g., "Privacy") which can encompass HR as component. This is what Tor had, and they are actively throwing it away.
- I changed the final sentence from: "Anyone want to establish a foundation for the efficacious promotion of privacy? Because Tor is no longer it." to "Tor is carefully positioning itself away from the efficacious privacy promotor it used to be. 💔". The former was said out of frustration, and the latter better captures my true feelings.
- Added subtitle: "Aka, human rights activism meets the Cobra Effect"
- Removed the opening stanza, "There's never been a better time to leave Tor. After a few weeks of unsuccessfully waiting for my views to mellow, I add my voice to the exodus." This removal is in direct response to Meredith Patterson's, and especially Alec Muffett's feedback.

U.S. and Japanese naval ships are in the middle of three days of military exercises off the coast of Korea. The scale of the maneuvers is larger than previous drills, and it comes as there's a surprise involving another naval exercise planned off the coast of India next month. HPR's Bill Dorman has more in today's Asia Minute.
In the Sea of Japan, a naval exercise this week notable for its size and composition.
Two US aircraft carriers are there: the Carl Vinson and the Ronald Reagan—along with eight escort ships.
Japan sent a helicopter carrier and another ship, as well as F-15 fighter jets.
Reuters quotes a Japanese military spokesman saying "it's the first time we have exercised with two carriers. It's a major exercise for us."
The drills follow North Korea's latest missile test.
Another set of naval maneuvers is getting attention this week—largely because of who will NOT be taking part.
The Malabar Exercises started in 1992 as a bilateral event involving forces from the U.S. and India. Japan joined them several years ago—becoming a permanent member of the drills in 2015.
This year, Australia wanted to take part.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports that request was denied by India reportedly because of concerns raised by China.
After last year's Malabar exercises, the Beijing newspaper Global Times echoed government suspicions in writing "Such a large-scale military exercise was obviously designed to target China's submarine activities in the East and South China Seas in recent years, promote the U.S. rebalance to the Asia-Pacific and cement the U.S. presence in the region."

Dining out allows you to enjoy a meal without all the fuss and bother of shopping, food preparation, and cleanup. Avoiding the work associated with cooking allows you to relax and enjoy delicious foods and the company of loved ones. Expensive restaurants provide a welcome venue for celebrating special moments and life events. Meanwhile, it is also handy to have a favorite restaurant in mind for those times when you simply want to grab a tasty and nutritious bite to eat. While dining out is convenient, it is not the most inexpensive way to enjoy a meal. Check out the high markups on the following restaurant items.
13. Edamame
Salty and fun to pop out of the pod, edamame is a staple at sushi bars and Japanese restaurants. These soybeans are high in protein and rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, folate, and manganese. They are also an inexpensive form of fiber that can be found in your grocery store freezer. Trader Joe's sells a 16-ounce bag of Lightly Salted Edamame for $1.99. Meanwhile, it is not uncommon for restaurants to charge $6 or more for that same edamame appetizer served with a sprinkling of sea salt and a shaker of soy sauce.
12. Eggs
Eggs are perfect little packages of protein and nutrients. Two scrambled eggs provide 28% of your daily protein requirements along with a good dose of riboflavin, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium. You can make your own two-egg scramble at home for around 44 cents. Meanwhile, two eggs at Waffle House could run you $3.60. Epicurious has a recipe for fluffy Scrambled Eggs made with eggs, butter, salt, pepper, and two tablespoons of water.


text: What will remain as a permanent mark is Donald Trump's inability to have his first very budget passedThe effects There were hectic negotiations between President Trump and legislators from both parties, but unfortunately, Trump's negotiating style and veering tactics made it difficult for the legislators to come to definite agreement. Sometimes, Trump would show that he was amenable to lower his demand for funding the wall and even agree to not revoke Obama's executive order against the Dreamers. But the next day, we would renege on his promise and go back to his original stance jeopardising the budget discussions. His most egregious conduct during such a meeting was his now infamous comment disparaging immigrants from some countries in very crude terms. His remarks shocked not only his opponents in Congress, but many of his own party men. The drama of budget discussion with Trump in the headlines kept people on their toes until the midnight curtain on the last temporary budget spending authority fell on January 20. The outcome Fortunately, however, the government shutdown is not all as dreadful as it sounds. The legislators know it, and President Trump knows it. The impact on the average citizen is not as hard as it may seem. For one, the average Joe in the country is not among the 2 million who are employed by the federal government. Among those 2 million, about less than half would be on unpaid leave as long as the spending authority is withheld by the Congress. What will impact the average citizen (for now at least) is the inability to visit many the federal parks, and delays in getting some services such as a passport. But these too will not be for long. What will remain as a permanent mark is Donald Trump's inability to have his first budget passed in Congress. It may not hurt his own purse, but it will hurt his ability to operate as the chief executive of the country and be a credible leader of his own party that reluctantly embraced him after he won the campaign. Ziauddin Choudhury has worked in the higher civil service of Bangladesh early in his career, and later for the World Bank in the US.

The 36 year old Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard, better known as vampire Eric Northman from the HBO True Blood television series told one of the showbiz site that he keeps no qualms when it comes to taking his clothes off on camera.
"Nudity is great. If it makes sense in the script, I really don't care," and admits his love for getting nude in front of the camera if the script makes a persuasive demand.
The actor who is currently said to be dating 25 year old Canadian actress and comedian Ellen Page, has two upcoming movies this year itself, of which the movie 'Disconnect' has already been viewed at the 2012 Venice Film Festival and is a drama centered on a group of people searching for human connections in today's wired world. The other is 'The East' which is an action mystery film, and yet to be released.

What are you doing to kill your dreams? Would you like to know how to avoid the things you're doing so you can have a successful business?
Hopefully, anyone who is building a business has a few dreams and goals they would like to achieve.
Maybe it's to reach $10k month in sales, prospect 20 leaders in the next quarter, move to the mountains or maybe an ocean, travel the world. You get the idea.
But I bet you that you are doing things every day that kill those dreams instead of helping them come to fruition, and in essence prevent you from creating a successful business.
Mark came across a Ted Talk a couple years ago that was perfect for this topic.
5 Ways You're Killing Your Dreams and How to Avoid Them for a Successful Business
1. Believe in overnight success.
It's so tempting to believe that every overnight successful business story you hear is true, right? And then what happens? You start to doubt YOUR abilities.
But the truth is there is no such thing as an overnight success.
- The guy who has walked across the stage at your last event and made $100k in his first 45 days…
- The woman who has built an empire with only a team of 25…
- The 13-year-old who just picked up a violin and instantly played the most beautiful music you've ever heard…
I'm sorry to tell you, but they are not overnight success stories.
I remember sitting at an event back in 2015 and watching person after person walking across the stage while they announced how fast they got their results.
But they left out the MOST IMPORTANT part of the story.
I don't understand why instead of making everyone else feel like dirt and wonder what they're even doing there since they didn't generate anywhere near the same results, they didn't just use it as a teaching example. (I know, it's for inspiration. Well who truly feels inspired after that??)
Imagine this scenario. This is what SHOULD happen...
You are at your company event. They bring on the newest star. He is 21 years old and just made $100k in his first 60 days.
Then the business founder comes out and says, "Who thinks this is an incredible accomplishment?"
The place erupts into applause.
Then he says, "Who wants results like these?"
Again, more applause.
What he says next floors and inspires everyone in attendance.
"If you want results like this, you have to work for them. You must learn everything you can learn, teach everything you can teach, set aside all those limiting beliefs, and quiet those voices in your head that tell you you'll never be good enough. You have to trip, fall, and then get up again and use the failure as a learning point."
"Max (fictitious name) here, it's true he made $100k in this first 60 days IN THIS COMPANY. But he's worked his tail off building an email list, putting tons of value out, teaching everyone who will listen everything he knows for the last 3 years. It was only when he jumped into this company that all those previous actions started to pay off. Only then was he able to create that successful business we all dream about."
That's the whole story. Max spent years learning and growing, building and teaching.
Maybe the next person across the stage is 40 years old and achieved $50k in his first 60 days. And again, they tell you that for 20 years he struggled to build a business. He spent 20 years very slowly building an email list that he continued to provide value and content to daily.
That 13-year-old violinist has been practicing since she was 5 years old.
That woman who build an empire with a team of only 25 people had paid $100k for a top-notch coach.
There is no such thing as an overnight success. It is a result of everything you have done in your lifetime up until that moment.
[bctt tweet="The overnight successes you see on stage took years to develop. #MnMInsights " username="Mark_n_Michelle"]
2. Believe someone else has the answers for you.
Every single one of us knows someone who has the right answer for you. They have the answers for everybody.
But I'll let you in on 2 secrets.
One, that person does not know what the right answer is for YOU.
Your spouse does not have the right answer for you. Your parents do not have the right answer for you. Your best friend does not have the right answer for you. Only YOU do.
Two, look at their life. If they have the right answer for you, then their life should be all roses and sunshine, right?
Everyone has opinions. If you asked 50 people if you should go to Walmart or Target, you will get 50 different reasons why their choice is the best one.
The fact is that YOU are the only one who can live your life. You are the only one who has been through the struggles and the successes, endured pain and hardship.
Sure, maybe your best friend was with you the whole time, but she didn't walk in your shoes, feel the pain, feel the struggle. She got to go home at night to her own life.
Your opinion is the only one that really matters. The path you choose may be the right one and it may be the wrong one, but only you can decide.
3. Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.
Believe it or not, I don't have much to say about this one. The example Bel gave in the video was awesome.
But let me give you another example.
You are biking up a very large hill. You're pedaling hard, keeping at a steady pace. Finally, you can almost see the top. You're getting closer and closer. It won't be long now. You can finally start to ease up a little on the pedaling, your pace starts to slow.
Unfortunately, now you are losing momentum. If you continue to ease off, soon you will start to roll backwards.
It is even more important to push harder, faster, longer to reach the peak.
Don't settle, don't ease up when it's smooth sailing, nothing is guaranteed.
[bctt tweet="For a successful business you must push harder, faster, longer. Don't settle, nothing is guaranteed. #MnMInsights " username="Mark_n_Michelle"]
4. Believe the fault is someone else's.
The autoresponder shut me down because I got a complaint…
YouTube took away my account…
My team leader did not get back to me to show me how to…
No one else is responsible for your success or failure.
In the first 30 days of our business, our autoresponder was shut down after we spent hundreds of dollars on solo ads. Did that stop us? Did we quit? NO!
YouTube shut down 6 — yes, 6 of our YouTube channels for reasons still unknown to us. Did that stop us? Did we quit? NO!
I had a question or a problem and my upline didn't get back to me in a timely fashion or teach me the proper way to do it. So what did we do? Googled it!
Your success and failure lies solely on you, no one else. You have access to the same information your upline does. You really do.
Most people think their upline and leaders in their company have a secret vault somewhere that only they have the password too. Trust me, they don't.
Do you know why they have the answers? Because they know how to Google AND because they learned through trial and error, just like you will have to do.
5. Believe that the only things that matter are the dreams themselves.
Your dream is to scale Mount Everest. Only a few people have accomplished it, and you are going to be one of them.
So you set off on your adventure. Wow, it's tough, really tough, much tougher than you even imagined. But you persist.
It's bitter cold and there are many days you can't go on until the weather clears. But you persist.
Days go into weeks. But you persist.
Finally you reach the top! Oh, the fresh air, the beauty. You celebrate! You snap as many pictures and videos as you can.
And then after a couple of hours, you go back down.
All that struggle paid off. You made it. Now what?
There was a leader in my previous internet business who said her only goal was to make $1 million. And she did.
But was she happy? Well of course she was....at first, but then she got very depressed.
Why? She had a million bucks!
It's because that was her only goal, her only dream. After she accomplished it, she had to figure out something else to work towards.
Your dreams and goals are not everything. Whether you achieve them or you don't, it is not everything. It's the journey.
I didn't believe that either, seriously. I didn't want the journey. I wanted the end, the achievement, the dream, the goal.
But then what?
Your celebration, your achievement, your happiness at that success is very, very temporary.
We always dreamed of a big home to raise our kids in. Finally, 8 years after we were married, we were able to buy our dream home.
It was huge, 3700 square feet. It was beautiful. We were so happy and excited! We decorated it, made it into a home.
Just a couple of years later, we were cursing it. It was too big for me to handle with my health issues. The electric bill was astronomical. Our family had grown apart because there was too much space between us.
There was always upkeep. Something always needed to be repaired, painted, cleaned, cut, or mowed.
Our dream home, the one we were so excited to finally have became too much for us.
To Close...
I can't say it any better than Bel:
"Achieving the dream is a momentary sensation and your life is not. The only way to fully enjoy all your dreams is to enjoy every step of your journey.
Your journey is made up of steps. Some steps will be right on. Sometimes you will trip. If it's right on, celebrate. And if you trip, turn that into something to learn. If every step becomes something to learn or something to celebrate, you will for sure enjoy your journey."

A toxic love.
A toxic love.
Louis Tomlinson tested the electro-house waters with his Steve Aoki-assisted banger "Just Hold On," and his latest single, "Back To You," featuring Bebe Rexha, is cut from the same cloth. But instead of injecting massive drops and monstrous beats, Tomlinson and Rexha croon over a building beat crafted by British producer Digital Farm Animals.
Rexha kicks off the track (at times, it actually feels like the song is a release from Bebe's All Your Fault Part II EP). "I know you say you know me, know me well / But these days I don't even know myself, no" she sings. "I always thought I'd be with someone else / I thought I would own the way I felt."
Tomlinson picks up where Rexha left off. "I know my friends they give me bad advice," he sings. "Like move on, get you out my mind / But don't you think I haven't even tried / You got me cornered and my hands are tied."
The production grows and the two partake in a duet together. The lyrics describe a tumultuous pair of lovers that can't live without one another.
What's the biggest takeaway? The track isn't an instant summer smash. That's a good thing – there's time for it to find a comfy spot in the Top 40 and bubble up the charts. There's also room for DJ masterminds to throw in production gymnastics and rework it for the clubs. It's a thumbs up from me.

Easier than that, click the task bar then click back into the field you want edit. It seems keyboard input is re-enabled once the browser application gets focus again.
31. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web ClientIRIX201110141 Nov 23, 2018 2:31 PM (in response to StephenMoll)
Same/Another workaround is to click into the address or search field of the browser and than back into the flash overlay. With that you get the focus back and can type into the fields.
32. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web ClientKyleLouden Jan 7, 2019 9:11 AM (in response to mechgt)
I also encountered this same issue when accessing my VCSA 184.108.40.20600 through the vSphere (Flash) web client through 64-bit FireFox 64.0
I simply needed to rename the VMs visible name in the VM inventory and when accessing the flash client I couldn't erase/modify the field using my keyboard, it's like any key I hit did not register or do anything. I have encountered this before in other fields, finally decided to look into it.
I was able to modify the VM names through the HTML5 vSphere Web client. When accessing the vCenter it does say that the HTML5 client has "partial functionality" I am not sure what can/can't be seen/done; however, using the HTML5 client may be a workaround for those using vCenter 6.5 or later. This was my first time accessing the HTML5 client and I might consider switching to using it primarily.
33. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web Clientuniverseman Jan 26, 2019 11:54 AM (in response to KyleLouden)
Just to confirm, the HTML5 client does work without exhibiting this issue. I can also confirm the issue still occurs for me with 64bit Firefox and a 64bit Flash plugin. My current workaround is to have 64 bit Firefox for all my normal usage, and a separate install of Firefox Developer Edition (32-bit) to load the vSphere pages.
Also, there has been no traction on the Firefox bugzilla entry since my comment 7 months ago, so workarounds will probably be the only solution until the Flash client is gone.
34. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web ClientFDHTHR Mar 4, 2019 6:14 AM (in response to mechgt)1 person found this helpful
I workarounded the issue : If you click on lego brick at the left of the url addr
and allow adobe flash to run, you retrieve the working keyboard.
In my case, I couldn't use keyboard but mouse was working (eg to increase vm disk size)
Firefox does not seem to remember the "allow" although I checked to remind it ...
35. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web Clientnkhan2500 May 9, 2019 9:15 AM (in response to msripada)
Worked for me.
36. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web Clientslivovics Aug 26, 2019 1:56 AM (in response to krigul)
This actually works !
37. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web ClientAlessandroRomeo68 Aug 26, 2019 3:58 AM (in response to mechgt)
it's an error that hasn't been solved even in version 6.5
When it happens, I open the notepad and write some random letters, so I go back to writing on the web interface and it works.
Best regards
Alessandro Romeo
38. Re: Cannot type (using keyboard) on vSphere Web ClientGBartsch Aug 26, 2019 5:13 AM (in response to AlessandroRomeo68)
The easiest way to deal with this it to switch to another tab in the web browser, and then switch back.
It appears that tab switching fixes the issue 100% of the time.
Yeah, it's annoying.

With advances in technology, savvy entrepreneurs and established companies are offering up innovative interior design tools via smartphones apps to both consumers and professionals.
Numerous programs have dotted the landscape using 3D and virtual reality technology to aid in design but another tool picking up steam is augmented reality (AR), which allows users to take photos of a room with their smartphone cameras and overlay the image with virtual items – like the use of social media filters on apps such as Snapchat and Instagram.
Earlier this year Apple and IKEA made headlines when Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a partnership with the Swedish RTA furniture maker. According to Bloomberg Businessweek's exclusive interview with Cook: the "two companies [plan] to collaborate on creating an app that will allow customers to take photos of their own homes, and then position the 3D furniture images where they'd like them to be. The images will be photo-realistic and additionally, IKEA promises that when they launch new products, they will first appear in the AR app."
Houzz View My Room 3D app
But IKEA and Apple are not alone in the development of an AR interior design app. Houzz, an online platform for interior and exterior design and home decor, added augmented reality to its View My Room 3D app. Users can apply filters from over 300,000 3D-enable products sold on the Houzz marketplace platform.
Search engine behemoth Google is also testing out the AR interior design app market with the 3D Room View app through a partnership with Pottery Barn. Although access to this app is somewhat limited as it only runs on smartphones that use Project Tango technology from Google.
genie-AR by Genie Design
But it's not just established brands that are shaking up the market. Several entrepreneurial startups have launched recently or received significant investments for their projects.
In July Genie Design launched a mobile business platform, genie-AR, aimed at the interior design and home décor markets. Available on iOS and Android, Genie Design combines proprietary augmented reality technology, developed by in-house experts over the last 4 years, with a unique business model to provide new features currently not offered by any other visualization tool, the company says.
The app offers a patented solution that addresses challenges faced by home furnishing manufacturers, retailers and consumers, including:
• Manufacturers and vendors are unable to showcase their products in a personalized way
• Consumers can't envision how a product will look in the space, which results in buyer's remorse, higher return rates, and loss of potential sales
• The purchasing process is slow, repetitive and fragmented over multiple websites, magazines, catalogs, stores and showrooms
According to the company, the benefits of the Genie app are that it streamlines the prevailing business model and brings all sectors of the industry into one centralized interactive marketplace with the following features: patented technology that combines augmented reality, proprietary IP, mobile, cloud applications, e-commerce systems and behavioral analytics.
Here's how it works:
• Manufacturers and retailers can make their entire catalogs available for the end user, turning every room into a showroom
• Users can visualize a great variety of products from multiple vendors in their spaces in real time and to scale, eliminating guesswork and design errors, and
• Genie's platform increases engagement, communication and transparency, provides business analytics and simplifies sharing of projects and data
For more information, visit genie-ar.com.
Once featured on ABC's Shark Tank, Hutch Interiors offers another AR interior design app. The company recently received a $10 million investment from Zillow Group, a large real estate services firm. The investment will be used to accelerate product development and growth of the company's home design app and functionality.
Hutch is an interior design media and m-commerce company that is re-imagining how to conceptualize decor by using on-demand filters to decorate spaces. Created with proprietary photo technology, Hutch builds a virtual rendering of the user's personal space (cleared of furniture) to begin the design process. The app focuses on visualization, allowing users to see their rooms through distinct design filters such as Malibu Luxe, Scandinavian Summer and Tropic Glam.
The filters are curated by a network of designers and each product within the filter is shoppable directly through the app.
As part of the investment, Spencer Rascoff, Zillow Group's chief executive officer, will join Hutch's board of directors.
"A huge hurdle both renters and buyers face is envisioning themselves in a new home," Rascoff says. "By investing in Hutch, we are enabling breakthrough innovation that enhances online home shopping and design experiences. Hutch's augmented reality technology has the potential to be transformative to the home shopping process and we are excited for the opportunity to help them grow."
If the recent developments in technology are any indication, the market is headed towards tremendous growth. To learn more about AR, visit 9to5mac.com/guides/augmented-reality.

This left us with a surplus for the month of about 3400 where we had predicted a deficit of about 2000.

Close Up Procedure/Follow-up
- A closing checklist is in the process
- Communication process is needed when the center is used after service on Sunday to close up
Committee Check-Ins
- We need a more long term communication volunteer to help step in with some of the emails/newsletter/paper inserts
- Suggested to put a google doc of committee chairs on the website
- Nominating committee: keeping an eye out for possible future board members
- Possibly will be seeking a new RE Chair
- Hadrian will contact committees that are not represented through board members currently to collect minutes if they have them
- Figure out what the duties of RE chair are vs. RE coordinator
- Possibly recruit people who may be interested in helping with communication.
Social Justice Committee
- Discussed having special collection speaker and the person from the congregation who is connected to the organization to speak on the special collection days to give more information
Social Justice Committee voted and would like to become a formal committee at Wy'East
- We need a short summary describing the committee to put in the bylaws (possibly the vision/mission statement?)
- Then we need a special meeting to vote on the committee with the congregation (possibly the annual meeting?)
- Hadrian will contact Hank to change the listing in our directory so it is listed as "standing committee-pending"...voted and approved
Other Items?
- None at this time
Confirm Next Meeting Date: 11/6, 7pm
- Meeting adjourned
Respectfully Submitted by Marcy S

ABS-CBN News Posted at Jan 22 2013 11:16 AM | Updated as of Jan 23 2013 12:19 AM Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has complained about the trees and vegetation planted under its transmission lines especially in Mindanao as these cause power outages. "Trees and vegetation that grow or are planted inside or adjacent to NGCP's existing transmission line right-of-way are known to cause trippings or power outages when they breach prescribed safety clearances for high-voltage power lines," the operator of the state-owned grid said in a statement. NGCP said this is currently the case in Mindanao, specifically in the Balo-i area, wherein residents are even uncooperative in efforts to remove the said trees under the transmission lines. "Clearing of trees and vegetation under the 138-kiloVolt transmission lines emanating from NGCP's Balo-i Substation has become difficult because of uncooperative landowners," Cynthia P. Alabanza, NGCP spokesperson, said in the statement. "For January 2013 alone, the Balo-i-Agus 2 138-kV line already tripped seven times because of trees deliberately planted by unscrupulous landowners beneath the lines," she continued. NGCP stressed the Balo-i Substation is crucial to the entire Mindanao grid as bulk of the power generated from the Angus Complex enters through the said substation. Alabanza also noted safety hazards for those violating the transmission lines' right of way. "You don't even have to touch the lines to be electrocuted. Electricity induction may occur once the safe clearance is breached. In other words, if you get near enough, even without touching the lines, you are in danger of being electrocuted," she said. Planting trees, putting up structures or even kite-flying under or near the transmission lines can cause power outages, damage the lines and endanger the public in general, the NGCP said.

The 25 Best Hair Tips from top Pro Stylists
Tuesday, May 22, 2018 2:01:59 AM America/Los_Angeles
The 25 Best Hair Tips from top Pro Stylists 1. A superfine mist of water from a spray bottle can loosen curls without fully rewetting the hair, and it air-dries in seconds. — Kristin Ess 2. While blow-drying, let hair cool before taking it off the brush. Everyone speeds it along, and it's why their hair falls or curls don't last. — Lacy Redway 3. To prevent a texturizing or surf spray from turning hair dull, mix it with a few drops of hair oil in your palm and then rake it through hair. — Mark Townsend 4. For loose waves, use the iron's clamp to pull hair smooth at the roots, then wrap the length of the hair vertically around the iron, leaving the ends out. — Justine Marjan 5. It's not the sexiest look ever, but get a satin bonnet to wear while you sleep. It'll preserve any style overnight. — Ess 6. To smooth the back of your hair, brush it forward (over your shoulders) as you dry it — creating tension at the roots with your brush dries the hair straight. — Jen Atkin 7. To refresh curls, use a hair dryer on the cold setting: Blast dry hair from side to side, swinging it with your fingers to bring curls back to life. — Vernon Fran?ois 8. It's hard to think of cutting thinning hair — if you're losing yours, you don't want to give any up — but trimming two inches makes it look fuller. — Nunzio Saviano 9. Healthy hair holds color longer, so do weekly deep-conditioning treatments to keep yours vibrant and shiny. — James Corbett 10. For volume, blow-dry the roots first, lifting them with your fingers. When you start with the lengths, you pull down on wet roots, flattening them out. — Harry Josh 11. Section curly hair into four twists in the shower and smooth shampoo on top of each one and your hair won't get tangled when you wash it. — Fran?ois 12. For a sleek pony, tilt your head back 45 degrees and gather your hair with a mixed-bristle brush. The more bristles, the smoother your hair will be. — Josh 13. If you've transitioned to natural texture, it's so important to keep hair moisturized. Use a leave-in conditioner after every single shower. — Redway 14. For the easiest bouncy volume, use dry shampoo (from roots to ends) before bed, and sleep with your hair in a bun for lasting volume the next day. — Ess 15. If your hair is thinning or lacks volume, adding highlights can swell the cuticle, giving the appearance of more hair. — Corbett 16. Turning your wand from vertical to horizontal when curling will give you a softer wave. — Josh 17. If you only use co-wash, your hair could get limper. Cleanse your scalp with a scrub every once in a while to take off dead skin cells. — Fran?ois 18. For a subtle bend that's identical to a round-brush blowout, curl your hair with a giant two-inch curling iron, and set the hair with clips for 10 to 30 minutes. — Ess 19. When you're not sure what to do with your hair, part it on the side. It exposes the undersides, which usually look healthier and shinier than the top layers. — Garren 20. If you want your blowout to last, hair needs to be 100 percent dry or it'll frizz and fall. So feel around for damp spots and dry them. — Nathaniel Hawkins 21. I always stretch out my washes one extra day by putting my hair in a low bun with a thin layer of pomade on top so it looks sleek, not greasy. — Ess 22.For a no-bump updo, blow-dry damp or dry hair in the direction of the style (e.g., from the nape and sides upward for a high bun or pony). — Jennifer Yepez 23. Spritzing your hair with a little water reactivates yesterday's product so you don't have to pile on more (that can weigh down your hair). — Garren 24. When you're pressed for time, try a texturized pony. Twist hair into three mini buns, set with a diffuser, then shake your hair out and tie the ponytail. — Josh 25. If you accidentally put too much product in your hair, use dry shampoo all the way through to the ends to soak it up. — Yepez

Classics at Reed is the interdisciplinary study of the Ancient Mediterranean world, encompassing Greek and Latin language and literature, history, and archaeology. The study of ancient language and literature is crucial to the discipline, offering direct insight into the intellectual and literary world of the Greeks and Romans. Examining the history and material culture of the Ancient Mediterranean reveals its political, social, and religious structures, as well as aspects of people's daily existence long ago. In classics, students develop critical and imaginative thinking by working with and writing about texts, people, places, and objects that are at the same time both familiar to us and distant.
Overview of the major
The classics program at Reed has two major tracks. Students primarily interested in language can major in Greek and Latin language and literature, which places an emphasis on coursework in both Greek and Latin language. Students drawn to history and material culture are encouraged to major in the history and archaeology of the Ancient Mediterranean, with the majority of courses focused on history and material culture, with less of a focus on ancient language. The classics department also has a standing interdisciplinary classics-religion major, which allows students to explore aspects of ancient religion.
During their junior year, classics majors are strongly encouraged to study abroad, and many spend a semester in Rome, Athens, England, or Ireland. Students are also encouraged to engage in archaeological fieldwork abroad during the summer, and Classics majors have excavated in Italy, Greece, and Cyprus.
The classics major involves significant independent research. All classics majors complete a junior qualifying exam, centered on a 20-page research paper in one of their major courses. Classics majors have an opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors throughout their time at Reed, particularly during the senior thesis process. Reed classics alumni have pursued a wide variety of careers, including high school and college teaching, law, medicine, journalism, library science, and more.
The department also offers three minors: Greek, Latin, and Greek and Latin.
