The May 2017 meeting of the St. Louis Product Management Group: Best Practices for Product Roadmaps with Jeff Lash
Meeting Information
Meetings are open to everyone — there is no charge to attend. This meeting will be held at The Venture Cafe Gathering at CIC from 7-7:45pm — see directions and details below.
About the meeting: This was the top vote-getting session at ProductCamp St. Louis 2017 and was presented to a standing-room (and sitting-on-the-floor) only crowd — so we thought we'd bring it back in May for those who missed it at ProductCamp.
Roadmaps are key deliverables for product managers. They are used to lay out the future plans for a product and to communicate that plan to internal and external audiences. Unfortunately, many product managers struggle with roadmaps because they don't understand the various ways roadmaps can be used. Without an effective roadmap, a great product strategy will not be supported internally by other functions or understood by external parties. No matter how great a product plan is, it will not succeed if it isn't properly articulated, documented and communicated.
In this presentation, we'll provide best practices for product managers for product managers to follow for creating and communicating product roadmaps.
About the Presenter: Jeff Lash is VP and Group Director, Go-to-Market at SiriusDecisions, where he advises B2B product management and product marketing teams on how to implement best practices and improve efficiency and effectiveness. He has 15+ years experience in product management, product marketing, user experience and product development. Jeff also writes the popular How To Be a Good Product Manager blog and is on Twitter as @jefflash.
About the event

Cannetille is considered to be related to filigree or to be a kind of filigree. It differs from filigree in as much as cannetille is three dimensional and filigree is flat. Specifically, cannetille is created with curled, twisted, spiraled, scrolled, beehived or coiled wire. It can also have tendrils and repoussé (places of raised metal). Like filigree, it can either have a backing or be open work. Cannetille is usually gold, although not necessarily.
Cannetille appeared to emerge in England and France in the 1820s and continue in popularity into the 1830s. Some say it was inspired by the Portuguese, others by India, others say it appeared to emerge independently in France, then spread to England. Regardless of origin, cannetille flourished in the period of peace and artistic expression after the Napoleonic wars. The word 'cannetille' is also used to describe a type of French embroidery method which has a similar appearance and technique and is created using gold thread. It appears that this is where cannetille jewelry might well have found its inspiration.
After the Napoleonic wars gold was very expensive and in short supply. Cannetille jewelry could be created to give the appearance of a much larger piece using less metal. The styles of cannetille jewelry seemed to be nostalgic and reminiscent of many European folk styles which are still made and worn today. By the 1820s and 1830s cannetille jewelry was being worn all over Europe, reaching a height in 1830. Brooches and parures were the most popular. When bracelets were worn, they would be worn one on each wrist, as had been the style for centuries.
Starting in 1830, Castellini of Rome led an Etruscan and Greek revival in the world of jewelry. Many revival pieces also incorporated cannetille.

Cannetille is very time consuming to create and requires great patience from the jeweler. Of course, all Georgian jewelry was made entirely by hand. There are two main methods for creating cannetille: Thread cannetille and plate cannetille. Thread cannetille is when the piece is made entirely from gold threads and has other decorative elements soldered on to it. Thread cannetille is particularly lightweight. Plate cannetille is made from a thin plate, usually open work, and then has decorative elements soldered on to it. Larger pieces tend to be made from plate cannetille.
Cannetille in the Georgian era was often set with gems such as pink topaz, citrine, chyrsoberyl, garnet, turquoise aquamarine, amethyst, glass and paste. Glass and paste were considered just as high status as gems and would be set along side them even on the most expensive pieces. Gems in the Georgian era were foiled.
Cannetille continued into the Victorian era although dwindling in popularity by the end of the mid-Victorian era. Even though there are some cannetille Art Deco pieces, cannetille never returned to the popularity it experienced in the Georgian era. There are some very convincing cannetille reproductions masquerading as much older than they are so caution is advised when purchasing. In the Victorian era, cannetille style jewelry was sometimes made in molds by the English; if you exam it very closely with or without a loupe you can generally see that it is made all from one piece of cast metal rather than many fine soldered pieces. Mold made pieces are obviously not as valuable although they can still be desirable.

World War II Timeline: January 26, 1941-February 15, 1941
In February 1941, the Lend-Lease Bill, which allowed the United States to actively assist the Allies, was passed. This and other important World War II events are detailed in the timeline below.
World War II Timeline: January 26-February 15
January 26: Japan's imperialist plans are evident when Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka calls for a "new order" in Asia.
January 27: Joseph Grew, the American ambassador in Tokyo, passes on to Washington a rumor that Japan is planning a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
January 29: Representatives from the United States and Britain secretly meet in Washington to discuss joint military strategy if the U.S. is forced into war.
January 30: In an effort to cut the British supply chain, Nazi Germany threatens to torpedo any neutral ship carrying supplies to Allied troops.
January 31: The government of Turkey denies Winston Churchill's request to station 10 squadrons of British Royal Air Force (RAF) planes and pilots on Turkish soil.
February 1: Recognizing a need to protect merchant ships in the Atlantic, the U.S. Navy creates the Atlantic Fleet, with Rear Admiral Ernest J. King commanding.
February 8: The Lend-Lease Bill, designed to provide a framework through which the United States can assist the Allies while maintaining neutrality, passes the House of Representatives. It will pass the Senate on March 8.
February 14: President Franklin Roosevelt cautions Yugoslavia's Prince Paul against aligning with Nazi Germany on the same day that Adolf Hitler sends an ultimatum demanding cooperation.
February 15: The Nazi administration in Austria inaugurates its plan to deport Austrian Jews to Polish ghettos.
World War II Headlines
More images and headlines detailing major events of World War II and the German invasion are below.
RAF Commander Keith Park "wins" Battle of Britain: RAF Commander Keith Park led air protection and reconnaissance during the Dunkirk evacuation and during the Battle of Britain. In 1947 Lord Tedder, chief of the RAF, said of Park, "If any one man won the Battle of Britain, he did." Even though Park was rewarded for his service with the Order of Commander of the Bath, he was removed from command during rancorous debates about his conservative tactics. Beginning in July 1942, Sir Park saw action in Malta, Italy, and Sicily, and then as commander of Allied forces in the Middle East. Park is often referred to as the "Savior of Britain."
The Bismarck sinks the Hood: The German battleship Bismarck fires toward the British battle cruiser Hood on May 24, 1941. According to Lieutenant Esmond Knight, who witnessed the attack while on the British Prince of Wales, "a great spouting explosion issued from the centre of the Hood, enormous reaching tongues of pale-red flame shot into the air, while dense clouds of whitish-yellow smoke burst upwards, gigantic pieces of brightly burning debris being hurled hundreds of feet in the air... Hood had literally been blown to pieces." Of the Hood's crew of more than 1,400 men, only three survived.
British sink Nazi battleship Bismarck: After sinking the Hood on May 24, 1941, and seriously damaging the Prince of Wales, the German battleship Bismarck slipped away. British crews eagerly tried to catch the Bismarck, but with their ships running low on fuel, the British despaired of catching Nazi Germany's magnificent menace. Then, on May 26, a Royal Air Force flying boat spotted the Bismarck heading for the French coast. British torpedo planes slowed the German ship down, but then lost it again. At last the Bismarck -- damaged, unable to steer properly, and off course -- was relocated. On the 27th, it was encircled by Royal Navy battleships and cruisers. In the battle that followed, the Bismarck was sunk.
British trounce Italy in North Africa: Following their defeat at the hands of Britain's Western Desert Force in February 1941, 130,000 Italian troops were sent to POW camps. Although Italian General Berti's 10th Army was much larger than the British force when it set out to invade Egypt in September 1940, its divisions were ill-equipped and poorly trained for mobile armored warfare. Inevitably, a succession of telling defeats followed: Sidi Barrani in December, Bardia and Tobruk in January 1941, and Beda Fomm in February 1942. Only the arrival of German support presaged a change in Axis fortunes.
The next page contains a timeline detailing major World War II events from February 1941.

How do I know when to make the transition, and how do the programs differ?
These are common questions that many soccer families inevitably face, and the fear of the unknown (traveling) can be daunting.
Here are the facts and a few tips to help you determine if your player, and your family, are ready to move from Rec to Traveling:
Just the facts:
Which to play? It depends…
The summer "Rec" program is aimed at offering an experience that includes lots of game play, with light instruction, during the months of June and July, at a very reasonable cost. It's a good introduction to the sport for the younger players and offers soccer in a concentrated, fun, and casual playing environment. MU's Rec coaches are current MU competitive players and parent volunteers. This gives the MU member families and alumni players a chance to get directly involved in sharing their love of the game with a new generation. Some of our older Rec players also enjoy being able to play the game they love with friends, on a set schedule, in a single neighborhood location (Pearl Park), which leaves more time for other summer activities with friends. MU Rec players do have additional training opportunities by way of the MU summer camps, as well as select winter Rec programs for younger players.
Now, if your young player is looking for a more competitive and structured soccer environment to advance their skills, or if your child takes their soccer ball everywhere and just can't seem to get enough soccer, that's a good sign they're ready to transition to MU's competitive program. The program involves a short Fall season and a Spring/Summer season with a winter training program in between. Accordingly, the cost of participating in the competitive program is greater, due in-part to the committed team of professional MU coaches and trainers assigned to guide players through their development. The locations for games and training will vary depending on the team assignment, and can include the greater metro area. This, along with the increased cost comprises the greatest difference between the two programs. There is a much greater emphasis on technical skills development in competitive, which best translates into later opportunities to play competitive soccer in high school and beyond. Many MU players go on to star at the state, regional, and even national level.
If you wish to learn more about these MU programs, please feel free to contact us via the club website. Be it Rec or Competitive, we hope to see you on the pitch this summer!

Dear Minneapolis United Family,
On 6/16/17 MU lost John Sylvester after a long struggle with ALS. John, "Sly" to his friends, was appointed as the club's first Girls Director of Coaching in 2008 and continued to coach until last year. John worked with MU kids for more than 14 years.
To compound this tragedy, at the time of John's death his wife, Tessie, mother of his 5 and 6-year old sons Gus and Freddy, was diagnosed with a very serious form of cancer. Tessie is 36 years old. Please consider donating to John's family and sharing the link below with your social network and faith community.
John was a fundamental building block of the club. He loved the game and all the kids whose lives he touched as a director, trainer, and coach. From him, we learned how to be better athletes…and better human beings. We will miss you, friend.

Welcome Spring and everyone back to my blog, it seems I have been hibernating for a bit, but with Spring popping up here in Virginia my mojo has also returned. Boy, does time get away from me anymore. Due to the need for some birthday and all occasion cards and a desire to try something new in my Silhouette software, I came up with this design. It all started with this video on YouTube by Clever Someday showing how to use a stencil font to make a shaped edge card. I tried it using a floral cut file and it worked for me, yeah! You can find her video Here .
The file from the Silhouette online store is called Poppy Fields and can be found Here. It takes up more of the front than her example but I am still happy with the way it turned out and can't wait to try some of my other shapes. I ungrouped the file and cut additional flower tops in design paper. The shading on the design paper was done with alcohol markers. These are Glitz Travel Papers paper pad ,the backing I placed behind my flowers doesn't look as mint in the pictures as it does in real life, especially next to their color block. Color Throwdown #336 is where I got my inspiration. I am going to enter my card there today, why don't you visit them with me.
Hopefully I haven't been forgotten and you will visit me again soon, I am setting a goal to get back to posting again and trying some new things. Take care and enjoy your week.

The 5th Wave
Review by Honey B
J Blakeson
: Chloe Grace Moretz, Liev Schreiber, Zackary Arthur, Nick Robinson, Ron Livingston, Maria Bello, Alex Roe
Four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of the Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear
and distrust, Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the
inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope - if she can
trust him.
The 5th Wave is riding the crest of a wave - one that follows the likes of Twilight, The Hunger Games,
Divergent and The Maze Runner.
All of these films are striving for the attention teens and young adults and most of these flicks have humanity
precariously balancing on a knife-edge.
Rick Yancey's hugely popular 2013 novel certainly captured reader attention and Yancey has another two novels
in this trilogy - The Infinite Sea and The Last Star which will be published later in 2016.
It's a film studio's potential goldmine - a teen apocalyptic alien trilogy.
Chloe Grace Moretz plays Ohio teenager Cassie Sullivan who is your average young girl who is into boys and
But when a gigantic alien space craft comes to Earth and hovers almost above her house, life is changed forever.
The film condenses the first four ravaging waves of disaster within the opening 40 minutes of the flick.
First there is an electromagnetic pulse which takes out the world's power, then floods, tsunamis and earthquakes
followed by a virus that wipes out most of the remaining population and for those who are immune the alien
"Others'' control selected humans to hunt down and kill the rest.
It's a dark little tale and Cassie must quickly adapt to survive and to protect her younger brother Sam (Zackary
After escaping to the woods Cassie and her family find a refugee camp but disaster is always close at hand and
gung-ho military commander Vosch (Liev Schrieber) orders the children to be sent to an air force base.
In a twist of events, Cassie is separated from her little brother and left behind to fend for herself, while her
brother - who has been nicknamed Nugget - learns how to fight the aliens in this mini-army.
Meanwhile Cassie has to avoid snipers and is saved by her new love interest - mysterious farm boy Evan Walker
(Alex Roe).
Roe has some truly laughable lines in this movie and this section falls a bit flat. There's certainly the feeling that
this initial movie is setting up for more flicks to come, but this bogs it down.
The film is certainly at its best when the action is happening and the CGI is very well done. There is also a nice
twist that viewers who haven't read the book might not see coming.
Moretz makes a solid stand in this flick and hopefully in the next film a few more of the other characters will be
fleshed out.
The 5th Wave makes a good start, hopefully the next movie builds on this.

Free Tools for E-LearningUpdated on February 10, 2019 // Created on June 23, 2013
As the world swiftly turns its attention to new ways to enable individuals to access learning using new technologies, more commonly known as 'e-learning', we see numerous UAE government and non-government organisations looking for these opportunities too. Derek Hartshorne is a learning and development professional of more than 20 years and specialises in e-learning and learning technologies. Here he present a series of free tools to help you on your way to e-learning success.
Top Tips - Free technology to help you create your own on line course-ware.
Are you still a classroom-based trainer/educator but want to move into e-delivery? Here's how you can quickly become an on-line learning Guru through the application of the techniques of 'Rapid e-Learning Development' (ReLD).
Four good reasons for providing on-line resources:
- Your customers/learners expect it – especially the digital natives.
- Additional resources are an essential part of a blended learning approach – multi-channel access is now the norm
- You can increase the number of learners you can engage without increasing the demands on your time
- Promote yourself and your offer more effectively
Isn't e-learning courseware very expensive to create?
It's true that in the dim and distant past of the 20th Century it took a whole team of experts to create e-courseware; for instance, a learndirect project I worked on in 2001 took more than 8 months to complete and cost about £70,000! However, this is definitely no longer the case. If you wish you can still pay a fortune to have e-learning created, but the advent of new technologies, better home computing and cloud-based services mean that you can easily create your own engaging material in a matter of hours. There need be no cost other than your own time! These 3 Top techniques provide low cost easy entry routes to help you transform your delivery options.
Your Top 3 ReLD techniques:
(Please note that no payment or commission is received from any of the tools mentioned)
1. Voice over video – universally available to all educators with a little technical knowledge this is the single most powerful technique for disseminating what you know to the world. Voice over video can be entirely free to create and to disseminate if uncontrolled / informal access meets your needs. If formal access is required then you will need some additional technology support through a VLE or similar technology.
Check out this maths video from Khan Academy to see how simple and yet how powerful this technique can be. The founder of Khan Academy is Salman Khan who started creating his maths tutorials using Yahoo's Doodle Notepad to tutor his niece, but has gone on to deliver more than 250 million learning experiences. Further information about Salman Khan and his thoughts on using video to transform education are in this 20 minute video.
To master Voice over Video you need to develop your Screen Capture skills[1].
2. Flip Books – Free options are available, but few are yet in a form that I would totally recommend due to the intrusion of advertising, however, check out Axmag, a tool I have used to good effect. Other systems are available at a low cost that most training organisations would be able to afford. .
Flip books are probably the easiest way to publish text and image-based hard copy resources on the web and make them engaging to your learners. You can even embed videos and links to assessments and other resources. We all know that a 'word doc' or 'PDF' file can be really boring to read on the screen – so why not liven up your material like this!
This is definitely the simplest, quickest and most effective method to turn old paper resources into accessible on line materials – minimal technical skills required!
3. Meet Pamela – web-casts / podcasts and recordings of online sessions are all valuable additions to your library of learning resources. A range of free tools such as Skype, Adobe Connect, Google Hangouts (and loads of others) can all be used to present courses to your learners on-line – recording these sessions and making them available in your library of resources is a great way of providing extra value. The learners who were in the session can review what was said, new learners can 'sit in' on previous sessions.
So how do I do it, and who is Pamela?
Pamela is the free utility that works seamlessly with Skype to enable you to easily record the session and re-use your resources. There are loads of other options – Adobe Connect has built in recording facilities, or you can use other screen capture tools as in 'Voice over Video' noted above. Simply start your on-line delivery or coaching session, hit the recording button and your new recording will be ready and waiting when you finish your lecture/presentation. What could be simpler? Add your new material to your library of resources and publish it to your VLE or video cloud-service. This is a technique anyone can master in less than an hour!
That's it for now – what's stopping you from trying this right now?

- The "Animation->Settings" command permits changing of the delay and disposition of the layers in an animated GIF. The delay can be set to any value up 10000 milli-seconds (10 seconds). or it can be cleared.
The Mode parameter specifies the frame disposition of the layer and is typically either "combine" or "replace".
Clearing a setting is not generally necessary, but it can be useful for making cosmetic changes to the layername.
The script only affects the visible layers so hide layers that you do not wish to be changed. N.B., after using the "Filters->Animation->Playback" player, you are returned to a state where only a single layer is visible (this is probably not what you'd want if you are planning on using this script afterward).

The following is a sample from Chapter One of my book: "Don't Stop the Music"
The Phone Call hit me with a terror I had never felt before. My life-partner was being rushed to the nearest ER. He had been at a rehearsal with a small group of jazz musicians and collapsed. They were working out the tunes for a new album. I truly don't even remember who called. It was February 12, 1991, two days before Valentine's Day. The Phone Call told me it might be a stroke.
All I recall is a numbness settling on my brain like a dark gray fog. Clarity went out the door for a walk – a walk that lasted for many years.
Up until that moment, my life is that of a professional musician. John and I live in Southern, California. He is in demand as a trumpet player. I play (French) horn and piano. We are both composers. We have been publishing the music we write for about eight years now through our own company, Trombacor Music. We also compose whatever music is required for the next gig in the date book. For me, each day consists of a minimum of three hours of practicing my horn, some time writing music, performing, teaching, or working at the local retail store. I am happy in the certainty that this is and will be my life.
When The Phone Call came, I was at my part-time job at the retail store. Since John had the car, I borrowed a car from a friend and left work to drive to the hospital, thirty-five miles away.
As I drove, my thoughts were spinning. I remember thinking at one point, this is the end. This phase of our life is over. I sensed it more than knew it. In one extremely brief moment, I was sorry we had not had a child to carry his incredible talent genes to another generation. I tossed out that thought with the bath water quicker than it had appeared. It never returned and I am more than grateful for that now.
During the drive, financial panic set in until I remembered that John now had health insurance. It was a mere ninety days since he had gotten it from my employers. I was immediately grateful and relieved.
The next panicked thought was sticking me like a voo-doo pin. How will I pay the rent in sixteen days if John's income from gigs is gone? What about the child support payments for his son living very far away? Food, gas, phone bills, car insurance? A million pins were sticking me. I was quivering and trying to drive.
I do not remember the drive, only the voo-doo pins. And the dark gray fog.
Looking back on that drive now, it is interesting that I was not thinking about John's condition. Since I knew nothing more than it "might be a stroke", and I knew nothing about strokes, I did not have enough information to think about that. All of the other emotions and thoughts about security are the ones that leapt into my head. Suddenly I was out of control of my thoughts. I needed to control the car.
The human brain spins its own web of emotions that are out of our control.
In an emergency, the human brain retreats to its most basic of emotions: the memes of one's culture, the need for security.
There is no shame in what you feel. Knowing that whatever you feel at that moment is what is right for you, will free you to deal with what needs your immediate attention.
I really dislike parking lots. My preference is to park away from other cars to avoid dings in my doors. Then I usually forget to notice where I park the car relative to where I'm going. It is still February 12. The dark gray fog is hanging over my head. I must remember where I have parked the car, the one I've borrowed from a friend.
John is in this very scary place: a hospital emergency room. Running on instinct, I feel myself moving into "support" mode. I must be cheerful and helpful. I must disguise my fear for John's sake.
Ah, that's what this cloud is, it's Fear.
So it is Fear that is creeping in and settling in my psyche. I'm cold. Fear is cold. It's cold in this emergency room. Why are hospitals always so cold? Isn't there enough to be uncomfortable with and afraid of without adding bone-chilling cold to the equation? I'm not amused by my own half-hearted attempt at humor.
When I find John he is relieved to see me. He is on a bed in a room. My focus is on him like a spotlight on a performing stage. Everything else is swallowed up in the blackness that exists outside of the spotlight. People in scrubs meander into the light every now and then and interrupt our conversation. We chatted, I guess. I have no recollection of what we said to one another. Little did I know that these were the last real conversations I would ever have with him.
The Scrubs are waiting for The Phone Call from the insurance company telling them that he is covered and they can treat him. Up until this point, there has been no treatment, merely observation, I speculate. I do not know what time it is, or how long we have been waiting for The Phone Call, or even what "treatment" means at this time.
While I'm standing in the spotlight beside his bed, John suddenly takes his left hand and lifts up his right hand and arm. While saying "look!" he releases the right arm and it falls sickeningly to the bed. Neither of us knew what that meant at the time. It is probably a good thing we did not know because Fear would have caused me to faint.
He was having another stroke. This second event paralyzed his right arm immediately. His right leg was gone, too, but we did not know it yet.

A week before the grand re-opening of Disney California Adventure with the new Carsland and Buena Vista Street areas, Disney gave annual pass holders the opportunity to attend a special preview weekend of the new areas.
Of course my friends and I jumped at the chance (despite, for me, a red eye flight later that evening to a family vacation…I'm a little insane/bad about cramming too much fun into short periods of time…)
We showed up at 7 am, got our special event wristbands and got in line. I think choosing the earliest window (8am- 12pm) was actually a great thing because DCA didn't open to the public until 10am and we had the park to ourselves for the first couple hours.
(AP's in a holding pattern at Carthay Circle before they walked us down to Carsland)
They also chose the best possible entrance into Carsland- walking in literally felt like the rest of the park melted away and you were walking in the desert into Radiator Springs. The mountain ranges are breathtaking. Really, the whole area feels like you're walking around the film. While my group is not a bunch of Cars-haters, it's not at the top of our Pixar list and we were in LOVE with this new part of the park.
A quick rundown of the rides:
Radiator Springs Racers- the track will remind frequent visitors of Walt Disney World of Test Track, but the ride is definitely different. The imagineers really went all out to make you feel like you're moving through the film and all the characters you come across look fantastic. My car was cracking up by the time we got to the race – big smiles for big fun!
Luigi's Flying Tires- I'd heard these hovering tires were a bit difficult to steer before we got there, but we didn't have TOO bad a time on them. I actually really really enjoyed this ride (we had time to go twice) – I think having large parties for this one helps because you spend your time chasing bright white, red and green beach balls to peg the other people with!
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree – we were excited for this ride because the tractor tipping part of the movie makes us laugh. Going in, it seemed like this would be more of a "kiddie" ride but those tractors really whip you around the circles! I was getting slammed into the side of the car much more than I anticipated.
We weren't super hungry so ended up not trying out Flo's V8 Cafe (though we did walk in to check out the menu…YUM!) but we did take some time to stop by the Cozy Cone Motel and get some snacks! We also got some souvenir traffic cone cups that are REALLY neat, but that I failed to get a picture of.
We might wait a bit to come back now that it's open, as the first couple weeks of crowds are bound to be awful. But this whole part of the park is fantastic and I'm sure we'll be spending a LOT of time here in the future.
Next up…on to Buena Vista Street!

Not a problem.
Just had a thought. Would it be a good idea if, in future seasons, when UMPIRE posts the matchups, there were titles or even links above each character that showed which team he/she was drafted to?

Want to Do Something About It? Get Into Grass Roots Chemical Reform
Want to Do Something About It? Get Into Grass Roots Chemical Reform
Let's face it, not too many corporations are socially conscious enough to make changes in the products they manufacture or sell just because they contain chemicals suspected of causing health problems. Changes can be expensive, so they're not likely to happen, unless the government steps in with new laws and regulations that even the playing field for everyone. But even without that official pressure, big corporations can be moved in the right direction.
There is one person who can exert enough pressure on a company to force them to do something – and that person is you.
On April 16, 2014, for example, the public – you – descended on 50 different Walgreens stores and returned products that contained toxic chemicals. They also delivered postcards to the managers. The move to get Walgreens to do more to get rid of these products has been ongoing for some time. In the last year, consumers and health professionals have sent Walgreens 60,000 letters on the subject. But today's blitz was motivated by a recent study.
The study, for which 44 products were purchased from Walgreens and then analyzed for toxic chemicals, was conducted over the last few months.
What did the study find?
According to HealthyStuff.org, which conducted the study, the products contained chlorine, PVC, phthalates, antimony-based and brominated flame retardants, organotins (chemicals identified by Methyl and Butyl in their names – you've seen them on the shelves) and even lead. And all were present in amounts that set off alarms.
This study, and the recent events at Walgreens, are part of a Safer Chemicals Healthy Families project called Mind the Store – a project that is working towards getting the 10 largest retailers to change their ways when it comes to serving up potentially dangerous chemicals.
The specific chemicals Mind the Store focuses on are the Hazardous 100+, which have been linked to everything from cancer to endocrine disruption and developmental and reproductive abnormalities. Here's a full list of the chemicals and the references regarding their toxicity.
A lot of progress has been made, but since Walgreens was lagging a bit behind, Mind the Store decided to step up the pressure with today's actions.
Not that Walgreens has been stagnant by any means. The company even developed their own 'green' brand, called Ology.
Across the board, most of the progress made on getting rid of toxic chemicals in consumer goods has been the result of consumer demand.
At Naturepedic, we involve ourselves in many such projects. In just the last few weeks, Barry Cik, our founder, spoke at the Great Lakes Green Chemistry Conference and our David Anthony (you may have seen him at one of our events) lobbied the White House (see his blog Meet Me at the White House). We also joined Companies for Safer Chemicals. That's just a few of the projects we're involved in.
You CAN affect the changes you're looking for. You CAN affect the laws, and you CAN motivate retailers.
All you have to do is find and support a grassroots activity – to whatever extent works for you. Every bit counts.

Lisa! You are so funny! This post made me laugh, one-and-done kind of thing! You did see the Painted Desert, and the cool tree/rock/petrified things. :) That national park is cool because it is so different I think than anything else out there, just very unique. Michael and I did a trip there about Seven years ago, and then ventured up to the Grand Canyon! I'm so happy you did the Crest Trail, I think it is a full 26 miles in length, definitely the longest of the Sandias! I've never done the whole thing, but the section you guys did looks awesome! My littlest brother and I hiked to the first Tram Tower last weekend when I was there, and we layed on the rocks in the sun under the tower and ate Subway cookies and watched the Tram pass over us! He's 10, and he loved it! Hiking in the Sandias is so magical, I'm so glad you guys had some fun, even if it was a bit chilly! :) LOVE looking through your pictures girly! :) Happy Tuesday!ReplyDelete

About e-Conveyancing
What is e-Conveyancing?
e-Conveyancing minimises the manual processes and paperwork associated with property exchange by enabling financial institutions, lawyers and conveyancers and others to transact together online.
It improves efficiency and transparency by enabling property settlements to be completed electronically with pre-populated data, real-time lodgement and streamlined processes.
The origins of e-Conveyancing
e-Conveyancing is an initiative championed by the property industry to simplify and digitise the complex process of property exchange. Instigated by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), it's built around an online network of members supported by PEXA.
To ensure the integrity of the network, the Australian Registrars' National Electronic Conveyancing Council (ARNECC) has developed a regulatory framework, under which PEXA operates. Industry safeguards include the Participation Agreement, Verification of Identity (VOI) and Digital Certificates.
e-Conveyancing is currently live in five states and is a collaboration between many industry participants, including financial institutions, Land Registries and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
Digital Transformation
PEXA is committed to supporting the property industry as it transitions towards a 100% digital future. Land Use Victoria and Landgate's reforms requiring certain land registry instruments to be lodged electronically from 1 August 2016, marked the first phase of digital transformation for property instruments nationally. Our dedicated team is committed to working with all organisations to assist with the implementation of online conveyancing transactions.
Land Registry Changes 1 March 2017
Land and Property Information (LPI) New South Wales is following Land Use Victoria and Landgate's lead and bringing property transactions online.
From 1 March 2017, Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADI) or their Representatives are required to lodge standalone discharges of mortgage and consumer mortgages in PEXA. If you need to lodge electronically in New South Wales, you can learn more below, or contact our dedicated Support Centre for assistance.
The LPI changes are available here.
Land Registry Changes 1 August 2016
If you are an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) or a legal practice representing an ADI and need to lodge electronically in Victoria or Western Australia, you can learn more below, or contact our dedicated Support Centre for assistance.
Real-time lodgement of Land Registry documents.
Pre-lodgement verification and direct access to Land Registry data.
Tracking of all parties' progress through each stage of the transaction.

Statkraft SF First Quarter 2007
10.05.2007 08.04 | stock exchange information
In the first quarter of 2007, the Statkraft SF Group posted a profit before tax of NOK 3,551 million, compared with NOK 2,304 million in the corresponding prior-year period.
Electricity prices continued to fall in the first three months of the year. The average price for the quarter was NOK 218/MWh, which represents a decrease of 41% compared with the fourth quarter of 2006. Production was 33% lower than in the first quarter of 2006.
The dynamic hedging portfolio posted a strong profit of NOK 865 million in the first quarter 2007, which represents an improvement of NOK 956 million compared with the first quarter of 2006.
New bond loans with a total volume of EUR 900 million and NOK 1500 million were issued under the EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note Programme) scheme.
Together with its partner Catamount Energy Corporation, Statkraft was granted its first final licence in the United Kingdom during the first quarter. Blaengwen Wind Farm in Wales will consist of 10 turbines and have a total capacity of 20-30 MW.
In Norway Småkraft AS was granted six licences for the construction of hydropower plants.
Statkraft opened a new regional office in Belgrade during the first quarter.
The Group introduced a new profile on 30 March 2007 through the adoption of a joint logo for Statkraft, Skagerak Energi and Trondheim Energiverk, with the latter company changing its name to Trondheim Energi from the same date.
Statkraft SF's business
Statkraft SF's purpose is to own all the shares in Statkraft AS and provide that company with loans. In addition, Statkraft SF owns certain assets that may not be formally owned by Statkraft AS. This applies to power plants that have reverted to state ownership and which have subsequently been leased out to third parties, and to plants which will return to Statkraft on their reversion to state ownership. It also applies to certain international investments (Asian Power Invest AB and Nordic Hydropower AB).
Statkraft SF's consolidated financial statements will, with the exception of the retained assets and individual items on the liabilities side, be identical with the consolidated financial statements for the Statkraft AS subgroup.
Total assets in Statkraft SF Group's closing balance sheet for the first quarter of 2007 were NOK 817 million higher than the corresponding figure in Statkraft AS Group's balance sheet. NOK 847 million of this difference is attributable to the book value of the power plants that have been leased to third parties and international investments, while changes in current items, and cash and cash equivalents were NOK 30 million lower.
The Statkraft SF Group had almost NOK 3 billion more in long-term interest-bearing liabilities than the Statkraft AS Group, due to the fact that Statkraft SF borrowed NOK 3 billion under an established line of credit in order to finance the dividend payment for the 2004 financial year. At the end of the first quarter interest-bearing liabilities totalled NOK 42.4 billion, compared with NOK 33.5 billion at the end of the corresponding prior-year period. The interest-bearing debt ratio stood at 48.9%, compared with 45.3% at the end of the previous year. Current assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, totalled NOK 14.1 billion, while short-term interest-free liabilities totalled NOK 17.1 billion.
Differences between Statkraft SF's and Statkraft AS's respective income statements largely relate to revenues and expenses linked to the ongoing operation of the retained assets. These differences are modest.

Okay, get ready for a lot of love... love the boots, love how you made them for work, love love love the layered plaid and stripes. Knocked these looks out of the park! And I'm so impressed you can do a 5 years ago today link! Also love that you did a book-inspired outfit - such a good one.ReplyDelete
I agree with Anne--both looks are fabulous and I'm really liking that plaid dress on you. Do you read Seersucker and Saddles? She just did a post with that dress in three ways. I also really enjoyed seeing you 5, 4 and 3 years ago--it's a great idea and I hope you keep up with it. Do you still have that mustard skirt? That looked so cute on you.ReplyDelete
Gosh that cardigan looks cozy! I love how you styled your booties! I wear my black wedge pair whenever I'm dressing up a bit. I would like to find a flat pair like yours that I can wear all day. They're hard to find!ReplyDelete
They are super cute shoes! They're a great find! Also love the idea of what you blogged on this day several years ago, I am on year number four but that could be fun to do sometime!ReplyDelete
Both of these outfits are gorgeous! The first looks SO cozy - now I really want a plaid dress.ReplyDelete
Those booties are SO cute.ReplyDelete
Thanks Anne!! I'm so glad I found these boots--they really have been the perfect in-between boots/flats shoes.ReplyDelete
And I can't believe it's been over 5 years...crazy. It was fun (and a little scary) looking back at old posts.
Thanks Megan! Yes I LOVE Seersucker & Saddles...I can't wait to check out that post, she always has great style!ReplyDelete
And yes, I do have the skirt still. I didn't include it in my last couple of capsules because I had worn it so much the last couple of falls/winters I needed a little break from it I guess. But I do really like it and will definitely keep it.
Thanks Lauren--it is really cozy! And I agree about the flat style being a lot more comfortable. I used to have a wedge pair but the wedge was so high that I rarely wore them. (I'm kind of a weenie when it comes to heels though.)ReplyDelete
Thanks Beth! The # years ago thing is something that I kept noticing on food blogs and thought, why not? I like looking bad at old posts :)ReplyDelete
Thanks Rebecca! I've been surprised to find that this dress is really versatile. I'm glad I found it!ReplyDelete
Thanks Krysten! They're really comfy too! :)ReplyDelete
I love those booties too! They look amazing on you!ReplyDelete

This Day in North Carolina History
An artist's rendering of Fort Dobbs. Image from N.C. Historic Sites.
On February 27, 1760, Fort Dobbs was attacked by a force of more than 60 Cherokee warriors. The fort had been constructed four years earlier to protect the western frontier during the French and Indian War.
Fighting between the British settlers and their former allies broke out in 1759 as settlers were killed in revenge for the murder of several Cherokee the year before. As the only permanent fort on the colony's frontier, the fort served as a safe-haven for settlers, and its garrison of soldiers helped to defend the region.
Colonel Hugh Waddell, the fort's commander, noted that the Cherokee "found the fire very hot" as ten of his men engaged the Cherokee near the fort around nine o'clock at night. "I ordered my party to fire which we did not further than 12…
