In My Opinion: The Language of Sustainability
By: John Paro
Posted: January 10, 2008, from the January 2008 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 2
We quickly saw that our line was both green and natural, but more importantly it was sustainable, and having addressed these sustainability issues would be good for business. Improving yield meant lower raw material costs. Less energy consumption meant lower energy costs. These savings have allowed us to offer competitive prices to our customers while maintaining our margin objectives. Eliminating problematic by-products has protected our personnel, as well as our customers and end users, and has allowed us to comply with local, state and federal environmental guidelines.
So when HallGreen ingredients are advertised as being built on a sustainable platform, we're trying to convey all those considerations in a single concept. Now you can see why I care about the language of sustainability. I do not want it to become the equivalent of the word "light."
I admire the leadership that the personal care industry has brought to the topic of sustainability. New strategies, methodologies and reporting systems seem to surface weekly. Company after company is reporting that sustainability initiatives deliver quantifiable benefits for the business and the end user.
Sunscreens have shown us the importance of conveying consumer-friendly information in packaging and marketing communications. SPF has entered the global lexicon, conveying critical information to consumers about the level of protection each product provides. I hope we can take the concept of sustainability to that level of understanding—that the word can be used to tell consumers how a product was manufactured so they can make educated buying decisions. It is in our own best interest as an industry to reach out and define the benefits of the concept to consumers as they make their choices. None of us want to have consumers say, "That doesn't mean anything," when they refer to our products or our claims.
In the end, I believe nomenclature that defines sustainability in a clear, concise way will help us improve product differentiation, enhance brands and images, and reorient our corporate and global cultures. Sustainability is the right way to think about environmentalism and it is good for business.

St. George is a figure that bridges many worlds. At the heart of the myths and legends surrounding this English icon lies the story of an Early Christian Martyr persecuted by the Roman Empire around the third century AD. But England is only one country to have adopted this legendary soldier saint as their patron. Other countries including Germany, Armenia, Hungary, Portugal and Malta have all claimed him as their own. The cult of St. George is astonishingly widespread with churches being dedicated to him in Ethiopia, Egypt, Greece and France. His heroic struggle and victory against the dragon can be interpreted as representing the bravery of an individual Christian or as the eternal battle been good and evil. But closer examination of the cult of St. George yields unexpected results. There are clear parallels between his legendary battle and that of earlier pre-Christian heroes such as Perseus and Beowulf. St. George is also identified with the Islamic hero Al Khidr who is said to have discovered the fountain of youth. He has been associated with the coming of spring and has functioned as fertility symbol and been closely linked to the Green Man of Pre-Christian Myth. St. George has also acted as a symbol of chastity and served as a healing saint. His flag has been appropriated by the far right but in recent times come to identify a multi-cultural England. David Beckham arguably embodies many of the contradictory aspects of St. George as sex symbol, multi-racial icon and national hero.

Specialties of an Ultrasound Technician
Ultrasound technology can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions that appear in different areas throughout the body. As each area of the body is unique, the use of this technology in examining it can vary slightly in the procedures that are used and the training that is required. Ultrasound technicians can become specialized in the different areas of obstetric and gynecologic sonography, neurosonography, breast sonography, and abdominal sonography.
The most popular area of sonography is in obstetrics and gynecology, which is when it is used in taking images of the female reproductive system and using ultrasound imaging during pregnancies. Ultrasound technicians specializing in this field conduct ultrasounds known as fetal imaging. The purpose of this type of ultrasound is to observe and monitor the baby while it is in its mother's womb so that doctors can see if there are any signs of birth defects. Along with tracking the baby's developmental growth, this imagining technique is also used to determine its gender.
In neurosonography, ultrasound technicians scan areas of the nervous system, including the brain, to examine and diagnose problems associated with it. Technicians can find out if a patient has experienced medical conditions like a stroke or brain aneurysm by scanning blood vessels in the brain or nervous system. Neurosonographers use ultrasounds to examine areas of the entire central nervous system, including the brain, and diagnoses any problems that may be associated with it. Scans can be performed to examine blood vessels in the brain and nervous system to confirm if a patient has had a stroke or brain aneurysm, as well as to examine the brain's inner structure and look for abnormal tumors or masses.
Ultrasound technicians who specialize in the area of breast sonography use the technology to study diseases that appear in breast tissue. Technicians use imaging to determine whether or not breast abnormalities are solid or fluid which can indicated whether a tumor is a cancerous or not. They also use it to monitor tumors and blood supply conditions as well as assist in the accurate biopsy of breast tissue in the event that an ultrasound cannot determine a breast abnormality.
Abdominal sonography is a specialized area where technicians use ultrasounds to examine areas of a patient's abdominal cavity. Images are used to help diagnose and treat conditions that involve the kidneys, bile ducts, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, spleen, and the male reproductive system. These types of ultrasounds can be beneficial with patients who are experiencing inflamed or enlarged abdominal organs, an aneurysm in the abdominal aorta, and gall or bladder stones.

First off, I really have a tough time with cat people. We all know a cat person who says something to the effect of "Well, MY cat is just like a dog." Then they proceed to list the characteristics that make THEIR cat different from the other 500,000 cats in Boston. Truth is, if "dog like" characteristics are important when choosing a pet, then wouldn't selecting a dog prove more logical? It's black and white to me, but unfortunately I'm infrequently consulted on the matter. . . . And now, a little about this guy- I'm entirely sarcastic, witty, and have been known to make an occasional off-the-cuff comment. But I know how to be serious and appreciate a good heart-to-heart conversation. I struggle with being PC and find humor in just about everything, including my own misguided adventures. Likewise I'm looking for someone who doesn't "sweat the small stuff" Honestly, life is too short to be wound up about the little things In terms of where I'm at now, I graduated from the University of Vermont about 12 years ago, and now I run a computer software company that I started back in 2003. I need a witty and intelligent woman, because let's face it- a relationship won't go anywhere if we can't have a good conversation.

Basic State Pension set to rise
The Government has announced that the full Basic State Pension will increase by £4.50 per week to £102.15 per week in April 2011.
Low income pensioners will also benefit, as most Pension Credit recipients will see a £4.75 per week increase in their guarantee credit and Cold Weather Payments have been permanently increased to £25 from £8.50.
Steve Webb, Minister for Pensions said: "We've taken a decision to restore the link with earnings and increase the Basic State Pension by the highest of prices, earnings or 2.5%. The triple guarantee will ensure that pensioners can expect a decent offering from the state in retirement."

Your Weekly Dose of Nancy Pelosi Madness
May 9, 2013 - 3:15 pm
Madame Pelosi, who is worth millions of dollars and could easily pay for her own travel, says she can't visit the troops on Mother's Day and it's all the sequestration's fault.
PELOSI: Every year for the past few years, on Mother's Day, I've gone–I've taken a delegation–into Afghanistan or Iraq, we're alternating now, now Afghanistan–for Mother's Day to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there. Some young grandmothers. But, nonetheless, grandmothers. To also thank all of our troops for what they do to protect America's families. I won't be going this particular weekend because we don't have–you know, under sequestration, we don't have codels.
Madame Pelosi made the remarks at her weekly press comedy stand up hit/press briefing.
It's unlikely that any of the troops are heartbroken over her absence.
Today we get a double shot of Botox on the brain. Pelosi also wants the world to know that she thinks the Gosnell trial is "really disgusting." But:
"When we talk about reproductive health for women, that's not what we're talking about," [Pelosi said]. Except that it is: The difference between what Gosnell did and what late-term abortionists idolized by the left do is a matter of about 10 minutes and 10 inches between the inside and outside of a womb. Not surprisingly, he received referrals from mainstream clinics.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/08/14 -- The president of the Canadian Labour Congress has renewed his call for a national jobs strategy, following the latest employment numbers from Statistics Canada that show nearly 60,000 full-time jobs were lost in July, only to be replaced with 60,000 part-time jobs.
"The jobs market is stuck. It needs help to get back on the road to economic recovery. But our governments continue to let the tires spin and tell us we're not stuck as deeply as the Americans. They do nothing, as more workers give up hope," says Hassan Yussuff.
"It's particularly unfair to young Canadians who can't find the full-time work they need to get their lives started and build for the future - Canada's future. The longer we wait while governments refuse to act, the longer Canada spins its wheels without leadership and a clear plan to get out of the mud and back on the road, the further we let the next generation fall behind," says Yussuff.
Quick Analysis from CLC Senior Economist Sylvain Schetagne
Despite claims of action as part of a "plan," little has been done to stimulate the labour market in recent months and the latest data from Statistics Canada confirm that the labour market is flat, and more precarious.
If Statistics Canada had included their estimate of labour under-utilization in Canada - people who have stopped looking for work because they've given up or because they've had to take whatever work they could find - Canada's real under-employment rate would be at least double the official rate published by the Government of Canada.
In July 2014, no jobs were created. 59,700 workers lost their full time jobs, replaced by 60,000 part time jobs. All of the jobs created over the last 12 months were part-time and the unemployment rate has barely moved. Meanwhile, 35,400 Canadians left the labour market last month, including 14,000 workers aged between 25 and 54 years old, mainly discouraged by the weakness of the job market. Since there were fewer workers looking for a job, the unemployment rate dropped to 7.0% in July, from 7.1% in June.
The Canadian Labour Congress, the national voice of the labour movement, represents 3.3 million Canadian workers. The CLC brings together Canada's national and international unions along with the provincial and territorial federations of labour and 111 district labour councils.

Organizations already struggle with the simple collection of data resulting from the proliferation of IoT, lacking the right infrastructure to manage it. They can't only rely on the cloud to collect and utilize this data because many applications still require dedicated infrastructure for security, redundancy, performance, etc. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Emil Sayegh, CEO of Codero Hosting, will discuss how in order to resolve the inherent issues, companies need to combine dedicated a...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Clearly the way forward is to move to cloud be it bare metal, VMs or containers. One aspect of the current public clouds that is slowing this cloud migration is cloud lock-in. Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud wit...

About Standards & Losing That Loving Feeling
A.sk Ross is where I, Marissa A. Ross, answer questions you ask me. Keep in mind I am simply a girl who's been through a lot & has acquired some wisdom along the way. I own no certificates proclaiming my word is law, so please don't take it as so. If anything, take my advice with a grain of salt and a pinch of optimism. Have a question? Email me at email@example.com.
Hey Marissa,
I am a 20 year old college student. I used to have boyfriends constantly in high school. My longest relationship was 3 years. After that relationship, I changed and I think I changed for the better. I became more independent, concentrated more on school than I ever have before and have spent a lot of time with my family. Good right? Well after being on a dating hiatus for 3 years, I think I'm ready to get back out there again. My friend forced me into signing up for an online dating website. After a handful of guys who didn't really meet my standards which, in my opinion, are pretty low– all I ask is that they don't smoke or do drugs and are somewhat family oriented– I literally was in the process of deleting the account when all the sudden this guy caught my eye. He took a look at my profile and he looked so familiar. I decided to send him a message, we hit it off and we are planning to meet this week. The funniest part is we actually went to school together for a year until I transferred. He makes me smile all throughout the day but here's the thing: he smokes "sometimes". What do I do now? I'm breaking my own standards and I feel like I'm in too deep already. I lost quite a few loved ones due to heart problems that were caused by smoking. And I just hate seeing guys that smoke. I don't really believe in changing people but I'm lost. Help!
While dating a guy who doesn't do drugs and is family oriented is important, there are a lot of other important factors too. Your top standard should always be someone who respects you. The cool thing about this standard is that if this dude that smokes sometimes respects you, he won't do it around you. And not to say this will for sure happen, but from my personal experience with dating "sometime" smokers, if things get serious they usually stop smoking because they're around you all the time and you don't smoke. This has been true with both my boyfriends who were smokers when we first met but I don't smoke. I can't promise that will happen with you guys, but it does give some promise to your situation.
Yes, smoking sucks– I don't want you to think I'm condoning it or dismissing your feelings– but if he's a good guy who genuinely makes you happy, I don't think you should throw him away because of an occasional smoke. Of course if he's like, smoking in your house and being a jerk, that's a different story. But a cigarette here or there? I don't think it's worth losing someone who makes you happy.
I agree you can't change someone, but you can express your feelings. Just have a talk with him and explain why you feel the way you do about smoking. If he's a good guy, he'll accept your feelings and respect them. If he's not, he'll tell you to shove it and then you know you shouldn't be dating him anyway. The point is to come to a compromise because you both not only respect one another, but also accept one another. But the key here is to compromise. You shouldn't make him stop nor should he expect you not to care. Every healthy relationship has a middle ground and I hope you guys can find yours.
Hey Marissa,
I'm 21 and I've been in a relationship for 2 and half years with my boyfriend (he's 21 as well). He is my first boyfriend, while he had one brief girlfriend before me. Of the two and half years we've been together, we spent 7 months apart while I lived in France on exchange. Although I love him just as much, I've struggled since coming home because while I was away (I came home about 2 months ago), I missed him so much and subconsciously, I think I romanticized the idea of him (even though we spoke every day while I was gone). Now that I am home, I still love him a lot, but I do not feel the same passion that I did while I was away because back then I was absolutely convinced he was the "one" but I don't think I even believe in that! And now, I'm not so sure and I'm feeling guilty for being unsure, even though I love him just as much, just differently (more normally). I'm worried that I'm too young and haven't experience enough to know if he is the "one" but then I worry that questioning that means that I'm unhappy. Basically I'm really confused even though he is my best friend and I simply could not imagine my life without him!
Ah, yes. The classic "I love you but I'm not in love with you". It's only cliché because it's incredibly common. It is completely normal to feel this way about a significant other. How can you not love them when you have shared so much? I bet he is your best friend, but best friends aren't necessarily who you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Unfortunately, if you doubt he's the one, he probably isn't. But hey, take solace in the fact that very few people find their true love at eighteen or nineteen years old and stay with them forever. Sad but true. This doesn't mean you don't love them, it just means you know there is more out there. You're right when you say you're young and inexperienced. That's exactly what you are. That doesn't mean what you shared with your boyfriend wasn't special but it does mean that it's probably time for you to move on.
Give it a couple weeks and see how you feel. There is a chance that yes, you over romanticized things and you need to come back down to reality. There is also a better chance you were in France on your own for seven months and came back with some new perspectives. If within a couple months you still don't feel "in love", do both of you the courtesy of breaking it off. I know he is your first boyfriend, so your instinct is to try to make it work. That's fine, that's why you should give yourself some time to figure out how you truly feel. But remember, you can't force feelings. The longer you wait to be honest with yourself and him about the situation, the harder it is going to be.

James Harden has developed a knack for drawing fouls on jump shots.
The second-year shooting guard has exploited defenders by initiating the contact near the end of his shooting motion rather than going straight up looking for a clean shot attempt. Harden's act has led to multiple three-point play opportunities of late, and even some four-point play chances. Harden baited defenders in Sacramento and Golden State into fouling him on jumpers.

A Primer on the Budget Resolution and the Legislative Process
- President's Budget: Presented to Congress each year at the beginning of the calendar year (January or February) for the next fiscal year that begins October 1, and outlines the President's spending priorities (President proposes, Congress disposes).
- Budget Resolution: Broad outline of spending for the year developed by House and Senate and agreed to by both bodies but not signed by President. It is not a law and is non-binding, although allocations of funds to appropriators follow Budget Resolution outlines in most cases. Sometimes outlines a five-year (or longer) plan.
- Appropriations: Annual spending legislation. After the Budget Resolution passes, each of the 13 subcommittees is given their 602(b) funding allocations for the year (13 separate funding bills). The appropriations bills are then drafted to stay within those allocations. Those bills should be passed before October 1, the beginning of the next fiscal year.
- Authorization: Authorizing committees deal with legislation to authorize or constitute programs. Authorizing language sets out parameters for uses of funds for the programs and usually sets a dollar amount for funding for the first year of the law, followed by four more years at "such sums" as Congress decides.
With the passage of the Budget Resolution by the House and Senate, the overall budget plans for the next few years are outlined. Once the plan is in place, allocations to the 13 appropriations subcommittees will be set out. Markups on the appropriations bills for this next fiscal year (FY 2007) will start in the House. The fiscal year begins October 1, so attempts will be made to finish voting on those bills by October 1. If some major appropriations bills - like the Labor, Health and Human Services Education bill - are unfinished and the fiscal year begins, continuing resolutions are passed to keep government going until the bills are finished. For 2004 the final bill was not completed until January.
Although the Budget Resolution has been approved, there are occasions when previous budget resolutions have either been ignored in terms of spending limitations or not passed in the first place.
There are always some unknown factors that could influence spending either now or in future years. Defense spending is also a part of the budget pie as are mandatory expenses like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other entitlements.
In addition, there are occasions requiring supplementary appropriations bills to cover emergency spending for farm relief because of drought or weather-related catastrophes or other emergencies.
In summary, what the Budget Resolution does is make an outline or plan for spending and then, within those guidelines; the legislation is formulated and passed to appropriate (or designate) specific dollar amounts for that spending.
At the same time, Congress passes laws that authorize programs, like they did in December 2001 with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Without the authorizing legislation, it is much harder to get programs appropriated for or funded. This year, we are continuing work to reauthorize the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). The law was enacted in 1996, putting it on the books, with an original reauthorization date of 2002.
We also ask for funding for those programs, because appropriations are only passed for a year at a time. So every year programs must be funded; but every five years or so, Congress must scrutinize the laws authorizing those programs to decide whether or not to keep, change or eliminate them.
Library program funds are distributed through the Institute of Museum and Library Services to each state. Library programs are part of the annual Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Appropriations bill. Also of interest to librarians is the new Literacy Through School Libraries program that is funded as a line item in the Department of Education.
ALA typically takes a position for increases for education. We are part of a large education and education-related coalition that lobbies for the highest number for education.
We specifically communicate to Congress about the importance of funding federal libraries, like the Library of Congress, the National Agricultural Library, the National Library of Medicine etc, as well as programs in the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. We also lobby for increases for adult education and literacy, reading programs, the Department of Ed Institute of Research and Statistics college work-study, Higher Education Act Title VI--and we have also participated in coalition activities to fund facilities (school construction). ALA also has taken positions in favor of tax benefits for charitable contributions to libraries and museums. In addition, we look for opportunities for libraries of all kinds to become involved in education programs like those for early childhood education.

My family and I moved from Atlanta, GA to Colorado six years ago. I have been married to my amazing wife, Jasmine, for eleven years now and we have two children, Colbie Wren and Nolan Luke.
ABOUT asmithblog.com
If there is anything I have learned from life, it is that more than anything else in this world, people matter. That is actually why this blog exists. Most resources never go on to explain the importance of leading through life to impact the lives of others, so I saw the need, and I filled it with asmithblog.com.
When leadership becomes more about the things you've done rather than the people you impact, you've lost the point of leadership.
