Jaimes Leggett Confirmed As Chair Of The Communications Council
Jaimes Leggett, Group CEO of M&C Saatchi Australia, was confirmed as the ongoing chair of The Communications Council, following seven months as interim chair. The decision was voted in at The Communications Council's 2016 AGM in May.
Since taking the position last October, Leggett has overseen the rejuvenation of The Communications Council's strategic plan, which has included delivering an enhanced training calendar for Australian agencies, which has included: seven internationally recognised IPA online and residential courses, in addition to the longstanding AdSchool, AWARD School and Graduate programs.
This year has also seen the introduction of the AWARD partnership with Semi Permanent, in an effort to raise the profile of the industry to a broader audience of creative professionals and students.
Moving forward, next week will also see the release of The Communications Council's Advertising Pays report – an independent study into the economic value of the industry, revealing how advertising in its broadest form can be used by government and business to achieve strategic objectives. The study will be released on Wednesday 15 June, with an initial launch event in Sydney.
Leggett said, "We have made some important steps, with several successful partnerships that have allowed us to raise the profile of our industry among broader creative audiences, and the development of a more structured and comprehensive training program.
"Over the next six months we will continue to focus our efforts on building a culture of continuous professional development through the delivery of world class training, championing commercial creativity and effectiveness through our annual Effies Awards, and raising the reputation of our industry as we share the findings of our Advertising Pays study next week."
Tony Hale, CEO of The Communications Council said, "We are delighted that Jaimes has agreed to continue as Chair. He has helped navigate several key and progressive developments within The Communications Council to build a more sustainable and valuable model for members moving forward.
"We have a great calendar of activity planned for the coming months, kicking off with next week's Advertising Pays launch, which will be a great opportunity to bring our member base together to discuss the future of our industry."
The AGM also confirmed several changes to the national board, with David Lo, CEO of The Zoo Republic, stepping down after 10 years, and Andrew Baxter, CEO of Publicis, after two.
Leggett continued, "David Lo and Andrew Baxter have been heavily involved across Communications Council initiatives and activity in the many years that they have been both members and board members. I would like to thank them – and the rest of our national board – for their long-running support, knowledge and guidance.
"We have a smart and passionate team of leaders committed to raising standards across the industry and increasing value for our members – I look forward to continuing that work in 2016. "

Does comedy really equal tragedy plus time? In the wake of ther Jian Ghomeshi incident, I put that question to several Canadian comedians while working on a feature for The Canadian Press. The story went up on the news wire Monday and you can read it here.
It started when I began wondering how This Hour Has 22 Minutes would deal with the news story, which grew less seemly and more disturbing by the hour starting two weeks ago. When I spoke with 22 Minutes executive producer and showrunner Peter McBain on the phone, he walked me through the process of trying to find mirth in a sensitive story.
This Hour has 22 Minutes takes a full week to produce each episode. Headlines are clipped and stories are gathered each Tuesday. Sketches get narrowed down at the Wednesday read through. Set and costumes are ordered and sketches are taped on Thursdays. The news desk segments are then shot before a studio audience on Monday nights in Halifax. That audience also watched the packaged sketches on monitors. Another sketch or two might be shot live that same night before an audience. It's pretty much been that way for 22 years.
McBain, who has been at the reigns at 22 Minutes for four seasons, believes striking the right tone is key and often it takes time to find that tone. In an evolving, breaking story, where alleged victims kept coming forward, the story kept shifting." 22 Minutes showed a sketch about half way through an episode the second week after the story broke that was more a shot at CBC and censorship than anything directly to do with the story. (The sketch off that top that week was an even more brazen, bite-the-hand-that-feeds jab at CBC, showing a desperate network executive trying to get $55 million from the dragons on Dragon's Den.)
Left off the table, presumably, was any notion Shaun Majumder might pull on his Ghomeshi wig for a sketch–even though he's nailed him in the past.
While there may never be enough time go by for CBC to rip into Ghomeshi directly, it's a different story on the Internet. That's where comedy equals tragedy plus about 22 seconds. Jokes were flying as soon as the story broke. (I even tweeted that first Sunday that CBC Radio was replacing Q with two new shows: S & M.)
"Humble" Howard Glassman says he was using "Ghomeshi" as an adverb almost immediately on his "Humble & Fred" radio podcasts. He laughed at the Michael deAddler editorial cartoon showing Ghomeshi turning to a woman in bed and saying, "I'm into role playing. Let's pretend I have a job."
Glassman–who recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of his pairing with radio mate Fred Patterson– says the tone quickly shifted on their show and others.
"We Canadians, we went almost right away to the heart of the issue," says Glassman. "So many people started immediately feeling empathy for his alleged victims that we sort of by-passed the humour thing."
Air Farce founding member Don Ferguson has been a student of comedy for over 40 years. "I believe that the first attempts at cracking the "no laughs allowed" barrier usually have to be indirect," Ferguson said via email. Going after the media's (over) response to a story "or mocking official reaction to it" were two examples he gave of the indirect approach.
Specifically regarding Ghomeshi, Ferguson felt "there was so much confusion initially – CBC's Friday announcement, Gomeshi's Facebook posting, CBC's firing, Gomeshi's lawsuit, CBC's silence – that comedians/satirists didn't know who or what their target(s) should be. As more information became available and more women came forward, the public's – and comedians' – focus sharpened."
One comedienne whose focus got razor sharp was Elvira Kurt. The "Spin Out" game show host lashed out at Ghomeshi for being "neurotic and narcissistic" in a viral Facebook posting that was picked up in the mainstream press. She knew Ghomeshi from her weekly "Hall of Shame" contributions to Q.
Kurt tweaked me on Twitter after I failed to reach out to her for the CP piece: "@BillBriouxTV shoulda asked me directly about my "approach to Jian Ghomeshi story". I couldn't wait to hit the stage with it this past Fri."
She's 100% right, and I'm hoping to add her voice here soon.

Hosted Exchange FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions for Mailworx Hosted Exchange.
1. What is the maximum size a hosted Exchange mailbox can be with Mailworx?
There is no size restriction on the amount of email that people store on Mailworx Hosted Exchange which is a big plus
2. Why should I use Mailworx Hosted Exchange and not another online service?
- Local NZ hosting
- Local NZ support
- Pay as you go
- Pay for what you need
- Per user license
- Always current version
3. I only have only have one mailbox on my domain name, can I still sign up?
Yes there is no minimum quantity of mailboxes to sign up to
4. I have heard about Data Sovereignty. What does that mean?
Data Sovereignty means that your digital data is subject to the laws or legal jurisdiction of the country in which it is stored. This is very significant because a lot of people do not question where their data is stored. Many people assume it is New Zealand if they are dealing with a New Zealand company. However your data could be stored in Australia, Singapore, United States or England to name a few country locations. We saw this when the United States brought about the Patriot Act after 911 in its fight against terrorism. The Act provided law enforcement officials with greater authority to monitor internet activity including emails and website visits.
Mailworx Hosted Exchange and your data is based in New Zealand so subject to New Zealand laws.
5. Where are my emails physically located?
Your Mailworx Hosted Exchange email box will be stored in data centres in both Auckland and Hamilton – New Zealand
6. Our current on-premise email server was configured to prevent emails sending a Winmail.dat file. How completely can Mailworx prevent outgoing emails being sent with this attachment?
Brainworx has seen this problem before with both on premise and hosted Exchanges, and our methods are very effective at resolving this problem.
Known variously as Winmail.dat, Mail.dat and Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF), Brainworx has developed a number of methods that involve:
- Cleansing old 'suggested contacts' including those from legacy Outlook 2007 'suggested contacts' files.
- Purging corrupted contacts from the public folder.
- Forcing Outlook to send email as 'HTML'; and:
- In some rare cases such as Macintosh based recipients: modifying the contact to receive the message as text only
7. What is the set-up process for Mailworx Hosted Exchange?
In a brief summary the setup is done in 8 stages:
- Discovery and documentation
- Provisioning your account on the Mailworx servers
- Instructing your Domain name holder with new mail records (called MX records)
- Exporting the current email data
- Setting up the email client (typically Microsoft Outlook)
- Importing the email data on to the Mailworx servers
- Ensuring Caching is working
- Sign off
8. First synchronisation: How long will it take to complete the first synchronisation of the mailbox?
There are two main factors that will govern the timeframe that the initial seeding will take. They are the size of the data and the upload speed on your internet connection.
The common internet connection types are: ADSL, VDSL and Fibre.
In New Zealand an ADSL connection has an upload speed that is between 0.5 MBPS and 1.0 MBPS. This is very slow and the process may need to be managed
so that outside of your business hours, we turn off the synchronisation and resume it out-of-hours. We have measured on a 1 MBPS upload speed,
approximately 3 gigabytes transferred overnight, starting at 05:30 until 07:30 in the morning.
VDSL and fibre are very much faster, however a line speed test, and an understanding of your usage patterns will allow us to better estimate the timeframe for this this process.
We do offer a service whereby we can save your email data to an external hard drive and drive it around to the datacentre and manually seed to the server. We normally only do this for very large mailboxes and will advise you if we think this step is necessary
9. What are the options for Mailworx Hosted Exchange?
There are three subscription options as follows:
- Limited version of Hosted Exchange – Outlook Web Access Only (access email only through a web browser)
- Full version of Hosted Exchange – using your own version of Outlook (our most popular offering)
- Full version of Hosted Exchange + Licence for Outlook (most expensive option)
10. How do you set up out of office messages?
This is done by either logging in to Outlook Web Access and configuring there, or creating a rule under the Outlook program its self.
11. Are there security policies for smart phones – for example if the phone is stolen?
Yes there are. If your phone is stolen we can remotely wipe all data from the device. If your phone is stolen just let us know and we will initiate the wipe.

When my wife and I go on vacations, instead of staying in a hotel, we do home exchanges or rent houses. Having access to a larger place is more practical when you have an energetic two year-old. During our first week in New Brunswick, on Canada's beautiful east coast, we rented a cottage at Parlee beach in Shediac. One of the reasons my wife chose the cottage was the "2-minute walk to the beach".
When she first mentioned this "2-minute walk to the beach", I was skeptical. My business education and work experience have heightened my ability to detect a B.S. sales pitch. When we set off to find the beach the day we arrived, I checked my watch and noted it took us about 10 minutes of wandering to reach our destination. We found a shorter path to return, but it still took over 7 minutes. Over the course of the next few days, being highly analytical, I continued to time our journey to and from the beach. Our times ranged from a tad over 5 minutes to a high of 12 minutes.
You might have noticed in the first paragraph the reference to my energetic two-year son. To say he was a contributing factor to our variable walking times would be equivalent to implying the sun might have played a role in my sun burn. With dogs, school buses, other kids and a lighthouse on the way to the beach, my son was usually distracted and never in a hurry to make it to our destination.
After a week of trekking to the beach with my son, I decided to go for a run on our last day in Shediac. Although I used to be a pretty competitive runner in high school and university, my runs now tend to be of the relaxed variety as I am more focused on enjoying the scenery than achieving personal bests. Of course, my relaxed running attitude didn't stop me from starting my timer, and heading off for the beach. Despite taking the most direct path, running at a decent pace, and leaving my two-year old son behind, it still took me two minutes and thirty seconds before my bare feet hit the beach sand. While spending 40 minutes running on the wet sand on the edge of the water, I quickly forgot about my failure to make it to the beach in the advertised two minutes and instead enjoyed one of my most invigorating runs of my life.
After five years of reading personal finance and investing blogs, I like to think my B.S. detector is well tuned. As I read about more bloggers achieving financial independence in short periods of time, by following one strategy or another, I'm increasing skeptical about the truth of their claims. I freely admit to making many, many mistakes along my own path, and know that at best, I'm only about half way to my destination. If there are any of you out there that need a reminder, I can assure you that there is no 2-minute walk to the beach, nor is there a safe, rapid path to financial independence. Those who claim otherwise are misleading you, lying to themselves, or simply being ignorant.
Although many of us our focused on our investing metrics and the end result of being financially independent, it truly pays dividends to take a step back and enjoy the journey. As tempting as it is to take short-cuts (high yield stocks are my weakness), cut corners (slashing expenses to the bone to feed a brokerage account), or compare your progress to others (tracking your net worth compared to your favorite bloggers), as was reinforced by my recent run along the ocean, achieving financial independence is not a race, but a beautiful journey.
My second week of holidays in New Brunswick was spent at a lovely ocean view cottage in Caraquet. Any idea what description of the below property would have prompted my wife to pull the trigger? Needless to say that with a park on the way, my son once again proved to me that there is never a 2-minute walk to the beach!

6th Rome Capital Rally is ready to welcome the protagonists of the european rally and tricolor championship
The sixth round of the season is ready to show off the difficult special stages of Lazio from the 20th to 22nd of July. Expected the confrontation between the big names of CIR and the ERC for an army of 32 R5 cars that will battle on 15 special stages, from the Rome show to the Ostia one, passing through Pico's spotlight. Among the Italians there will be in Rome Paolo Andreucci, back from a heavy accident in the tests.
Rome, Wednesday 18th July 2018 - The Italian Rally Championship comes back on asphalt in the 6th Rome Capital Rally. The race organized by Motorsport Italia and coordinated by Max Rendina, in addition to having validity for the FIA European Rally Championship which is at its fifth act and valid for the Regional Championship, coincides with the sixth round of the highest tricolor series. The rally of the Eternal City, scheduled for the next weekend, will therefore again be characterized by an important structure. Three special stages show (EUR neighborhood Friday 18:30 | Pico Saturday 19:15 | Lido di Ostia Sunday 19:18) and a total itinerary of 967.12 km, starting from Rome on Friday 20 July will once again have an operational base in Fiuggi and will cross 56 different municipalities before making its return to the capital for the grand finale on the coast on Sunday 22.
Rome is therefore ready to welcome the protagonists of the two prestigious championships, which have responded with 32 riders that will be competing with R5 cars. Among these, the main actors of CIR, starting from Paolo Andreucci. The first surprise of the rally is just offered by the tricolor's frontrunner, given to the veil as probable absent because of the accident on Friday 13, but who immediately recovered and he is now ready to defend the record. Andreucci will be joined on this occasion by David Castiglioni on the Peugeot 208 T16 R5. However, many will be aiming for victory, more than all Umberto Scandola from Verona with Guido D'Amore on Skoda Fabia R5, who comes back to Rome after winning in 2015 and 2016 and to get closer to the first place in the standings which is 22 points distant. The first success of the season is also the Italian Simone Campedelli, together with Tania Canton on the Ford Fiesta R5, just one point behind Scandola and a second place finish in the San Marino Rally.
Important names also for the ERC members, with the Italian representative Giandomenico Basso who wants to assert himself on the Fabia R5 in comparison with the big names like the current Portuguese n ° 1 Bruno Magalhaes (Fabia R5), the Russian Alexey Lukyanuk ( Fiesta R5) that follows him at a distance of 15 points and the Cypriot Simos Galatariotis (Fabia R5) currently fourth overall in the European series. Andrea Crugnola from Varese will want to redeem himself after his withdrawal in San Marino, flanked by Danilo Fappani, also on Fiesta R5, currently fourth among the drivers of the absolute. Behind the current leader of the Italian Asphalt Rally Championship the main rivals will all be also armed with Fabia R5. In fact, the Tuscan Rudy Michelini will not be missing in the race, second at minus 10 points, just 2 points behind the other Tuscan Luca Panzani after the excellent performance of San Marino and, 2 lengths away from Pavia Scattolon. Racing for a place that counts among the CIRA specialists also Giuseppe Testa from Molise and Antonio Rusce from Emilia, both driving the Ford Fiesta R5, in addition to Kevin Gilardoni at his debut on the Hyundai i20 R5, Andrea Dalmazzini supported by Aci Team Italia on the second on Tarmac with Fiesta R5 and Marco Pollara from Sicily on the Peugeot 208 T16 R5. It will also be an important rally for the fate of the Italian Two-Wheel Drive Rally Championship, with a trio of Renault Clio RS R3T driven by the Italian Ivan Ferrarotti, who will have to guard against the attacks by Riccardo Canzian and Emanuele Rosso.
It will be an exciting weekend also for the young drivers on Peugeot 208 R2 registered in the Italian Rally Junior Championship. First on the list is the new leader of the series, Damiano De Tommaso, closely followed by Andrea Mazzocchi, Tommaso Ciuffi from Florence, and Jacopo Trevisani from Brescia, winner in San Marino; and still among young people there will be the Davide Nicelli from Pavia, the Milanese Rachele Somaschini, Alessandro Nerobutto from Trentino and the Veronese Stefano Strabello.
Even the single-brand trophies will return to the capital. To keep an eye on the close fight for the Suzuki Rally Trophy that currently sees the favor of Giorgio Cogni over Andrea Scalzotto also on Swift R1B and the drivers of the Japanese version RSTB 1.0 like Stefano Martinelli and four other competitors. The appointment is also for the Twingo Trophy "Top" R1 that will see in the race four crews among which stands out Alberto Paris in front of Riccardo Pederzani.

A locus at 19p13 is associated with breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC) risk. Here we analyse 438 SNPs in this region in 46,451 BC and 15,438 OC cases, 15,252 BRCA1 mutation carriers and 73,444 controls and identify 13 candidate causal SNPs associated with serous OC (P=9.2 × 10−20), ER-negative BC (P=1.1 × 10−13), BRCA1-associated BC (P=7.7 × 10−16) and triple negative BC (P-diff=2 × 10−5). Genotype-gene expression associations are identified for candidate target genes ANKLE1 (P=2 × 10−3) and ABHD8 (P<2 × 10−3). Chromosome conformation capture identifies interactions between four candidate SNPs and ABHD8, and luciferase assays indicate six risk alleles increased transactivation of the ADHD8 promoter. Targeted deletion of a region containing risk SNP rs56069439 in a putative enhancer induces ANKLE1 downregulation; and mRNA stability assays indicate functional effects for an ANKLE1 3′-UTR SNP. Altogether, these data suggest that multiple SNPs at 19p13 regulate ABHD8 and perhaps ANKLE1 expression, and indicate common mechanisms underlying breast and ovarian cancer risk.

I hear voices. Don't worry. They're not anyone else's voice. They're all mine!
These voices are part of the way I think and act. Here are just a few.
An action voice: Decide. Make a choice. Fulfillment is in the action you take right now. Just do it!
A reflective voice: What do you see now? What can you learn? Pause before you make a choice and consider fulfillment for yourself and others.
An analytical voice: What happened? What are the facts? What's possible?
A compassionate voice: Tell the truth with love. Appreciate what you have. Speak kind words. Let it go.
Then in the midst of a relaxing massage, when the therapist was gently working through some tight knots in my shoulders, a painful memory popped up in perfect rhythm with the manipulation and stretching movement of the therapist's hands. My compassionate voice noticed and said, "Just let it go." I breathed that message in and with a quiet exhalation relaxed more deeply.
Then overlaid on the reasonable guidance of my compassionate voice there was a profound whisper that there's nothing to let go of. "All your experience and regrets are part of you. There's nothing to let go of, only something to include."
It was the strangest feeling. It left me healed of memories. There was nothing to get rid of, just a thread in the fabric of my life. To unravel that thread would leave a hole. I could weave the fabric back together, but it would leave a patch. Instead, I'll leave the original, a little worn but perfectly fitting the evolving story of my life.
So perhaps the question to consider is not what you can let go of, but what you can include.
My love goes with you as you work with this Uplifting Moment.

Electric cars, car sharing and car pooling: sustainable mobility has many forms and a growing number of vehicles, from full electric to hybrid vehicles, and technologies that range from lithium and graphene batteries, to various connectors that help drivers "fill up" their cars at charging stations.
The spread of electric vehicles differs between countries and regions. While Norway and Sweden are European leaders, the United States is the world's number one, where California stands out: 50 percent of electric vehicles on the US market were there sold in 2014. There is debate regarding the schedule for the penetration and spreading of electric vehicles, but more than 100 years after the first electric vehicle was built in 1884 – two years before the first petrol-fuelled car – the charge towards e-mobility seems unstoppable.
Infrastructure and electricity systems need to keep up with the pace if they are to support the use of electric cars. Enel has long been working on this, and it has created fast charging stations and developed a distribution grid adjusted to the consumption, load and management needs required by the growth of the charging network.
Electric Mobility Management (EMM) is a remote control central system that aids the supervision and monitoring of the charging infrastructure installed by Enel. The system enables the management of the entire charging process and the collection data used for the provision of further services to customers. This is the jewel in the crown of the e-mobility solutions offered by Enel Distribuzione composed of three main modules:
- Power grid control
- The infrastructure management system;
- The contracts management system;
Thanks to a web-based graphic, EMM provides information not only to "electric drivers", but to all e-mobility operators: energy suppliers and distributors, grid managers and those carrying out maintenance of charging stations.

Joko Beck used to describe her students as hungry birds waiting for her, the mama bird, to drop a worm in their beaks. What happens when such a student is full? When he has all the worms he needs, has heard enough talks. It's a picture of a realization you start off lacking and then can get, and no longer have to go chasing for it. But what do you do with it? What's it for? How are you different?

The threat of an unprecedented deflation looms large over the global financial system.
As you probably know, in such a scenario, bankruptcies would be widespread.
The December 2018 Elliott Wave Financial Forecast said:
The risk-heavy global debt structure assures that the next economic downturn will pick up speed fast. The Z-score method for predicting bankruptcies, developed in the 1970s by Edward Altman, suggests that the economic contraction will be massive. When Altman introduced his methodology, which uses profitability, leverage, liquidity, solvency and productivity to predict future insolvencies, he noted that firms with distressed Z-score ratings "almost always went bankrupt within two years." In recent times, companies are using more and more debt to try and stay viable. "There was no leveraged-loan or junk-bond market 50 years ago," says Altman. Bloomberg notes that the total high-yield bond market hit $2.56 trillion in mid-2018, which was higher than the "entire investment grade market at the peak of the last credit cycle in 2007." "These are big dynamic markets available to many firms," says Altman. "They take advantage of it. Firms have been overjoyed to leverage their balance sheet. When we have the next downturn, I think the consequence of these huge increases of debt will be quite dramatic. There will be more bankruptcies and defaults, and larger than ever before."
A Jan. 27, 2019 New York Times also picks up on the theme of deflation with an article subtitled, "Just when we thought we were out, global deflationary forces have pulled us back in." Here's an excerpt:
For much of 2018, it appeared that the world economy was finally getting out of the rut it had been stuck in for the decade since the global financial crisis. But it now looks as if the era of persistently low growth, low inflation and low interest rates isn't over after all.
In the past week alone, the European Central Bank said that economic risks had "moved to the downside," and the Bank of Japan cut its projections for inflation...
Despite some promising signs of vitality during much of last year, issues that have dogged the world economy for the last decade -- an aging work force in many of the biggest economies, weak growth in productivity, excessive global savings and industrial capacity, and a shortage of worldwide demand -- haven't disappeared.
That helps explain why American workers' wages have been rising relatively slowly despite a low unemployment rate. And it makes for a perilous time: Low growth rates mean the economy could slip into recession more easily, and low interest rates mean central bankers would find themselves with less powerful tools to lessen the pain of a future downturn.
"This shows that the forces that are restraining many economies are a lot harder to contend with and more pervasive than many people were hoping or believing," said ... a partner in Cornerstone Macro.

Happy New Year 2015
Happy New Year everyone! 2015 is going to be a good year. On January 14th I will have worked in the Deli for 3 months. It's hard to believe that much time has gone by already. I'm about 3-4 weeks away from my first raise, which I'm excited for. Work has been keeping me pretty busy these days. I love working in the deli because you are always moving, either cooking, waiting on customers, and many other chores. I love the customers. They are the best.
I would like to get more regular about posting here in this new year. I am also trying to get back on my path back to goal. I'm golden in the exercise department; work takes care of that. My eating needs to be reined in and I need to take my lunch to work where I HAVE CONTROL of what I eat instead of grabbing stuff when I'm starving and tired. I also need to drink more water and cut back on my Diet Dr. Pepper. Tracking is so important when I'm on track and in control; need to get back to that too. So, it's back on the right path towards my goal.
My granddaughters got their pictures taken right before Christmas. They all came out so good! Sarah is becoming quite the teenager and our Emily is 3 now!
Al and I had a nice Christmas Day at my brother Bobs house. They cooked a turkey with all the trimmings and great lasagna. I got up early that day and made an Upside-Down Pineapple Cake, a Dreamscicle Dessert, Chocolate Covered Mini-Pretzels and lots of deviled eggs. We had a great time, great food, and great music by my dear Al. He played his electric guitar and sang all our favorite Christmas songs. We had to leave early due to the fact I had to get up at 2 am for work the next morning.
Have an awesome 2015 and thanks so much for visiting.

Joseph L. Gleason: Owner, Gleason Financial Group, LLC
Joseph Gleason learned about ethics from his grandfather in Byron, Illinois, a small farming community with 2,000 residents. His grandfather, Tom Wells, sold animal feed to farmers and used to bring Joe and his twin brother, Tadd, along on sales calls when they were children.
"Grandpa Wells would ask his customers about their farms and their families. Then he'd assess their need for his products," Joe recalls. "I learned from him that being in sales is about trying to help people — and if you can't, being honest and saying so."
Joe continues to apply his grandfather's lessons in his own business, Gleason Financial Group. The practice specializes in income and retirement planning.
Operating together, the two businesses take a comprehensive approach to managing clients' finances. "The financial side and tax side of the operation work hand in hand, so we are able to leave no stone unturned," explains Joe. "By specializing in both areas, we can avoid the classic problem of a client's financial planner not communicating with their tax planner. We're also able to develop tax efficient income strategies for our clients," he adds.
When Joe moved to Arizona in 2005, he brought with him the small-town approach to business he learned growing up in Byron. Utilizing comprehensive fact finding, he gets to know clients by identifying their retirement goals. Then through extensive research and planning, Mr. Gleason develops a customized financial plan for each client.
Joe doesn't think in terms of pitching products. Instead, he focuses on doing the right things, the right way. "I really do want to help people, and I take the time to forge strong relationships with my clients," he says.
While establishing relationships is important to Joe, maintaining them is, too. He makes it a point to meet with clients at least once a year and keeps a strict open-door policy. "I want my clients to feel comfortable approaching me with any of their concerns," Joe says. "My clients know they'll have an ally when it comes to navigating the financial waters."
Joe was the National Ethics Bureau's Member of the Month and supports local charities such as St. Mary's Food Bank, Eve's Place, and The Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) by hosting and participating in various philanthropic events. His wife of 17 years, Janette, acts as the marketing and customer education specialist for his two businesses. The couple enjoys movies, Chicago Cubs baseball, and being a Father of their three children.

The recent presidential election in the United States has sparked some very interesting fears. The most common one is a feeling of danger; "I don't feel safe" is a term that is often repeated, characteristic of a country that sometimes needs something to happen just to relieve the monotony of extreme capitalism: Work-Eat-Shop-Eat-Sleep-Repeat. In order to assuage some of the international concerns over Donald Trump's election the U.S. Olympic Committee has made some interesting claims that highlight some of the major concerns.
The delegation for Los Angeles' bid to host the 2024 made their first presentation to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), an organization (like FIFA) that is "representative of a corrupt global power structure" in the words of Forbes. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti made one of the strangest comments I have ever heard uttered about the U.S. in August when he claimed that if Mr. Trump won IOC members would say, "Wait a second, can we go to a country like that, where we've heard things that we take offense to?" In many ways, the words "a country like that" mirrors the rhetoric that some Americans use when describing "other" countries: "I heard it's really bad there". Behind this over-the-top rhetoric, of course, there lies a relationship between sports and politics. As Bloomberg notes, Mr. Garcetti was a supporter of Mr. Trump's rival Hillary Clinton and the LA bid's chairman Casey Wasserman not only donated "millions to the Clinton Foundation through his charitable organization" but he also held a fundraiser for Ms. Clinton at his home.
Alex Reimer, writing for Forbes, believes that Mr. Trump could be an "ardent critic" of the Olympics coming to the United States due to this corruption:
Trump fixated on the pay-for-play accusations surrounding Clinton's time in the State Department. But perhaps nothing represents the culture of patronage more than the Olympic bidding process. The 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games, for example, were ripe with scandal. Members of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee bribed certain IOC members, paying for luxuries such as family vacations, plastic surgery and Super Bowl tickets. Several IOC officials also walked away with cash bribes between $3 million and $7 million.
Corruption is endemic when sports and (big) money converge, but unfortunately state media in the United States miss the point (as they so often do, perhaps intentionally). ABC news highlighted the words of the bid's key speaker Allyson Felix who emphasized that "America's diversity is our greatest strength". Ms. Felix added "We're also a nation with individuals like me, descendants of people who came to America, not of their own free will but against it. But we're not a nation that clings to our past, no matter how glorious – or how painful. Americans rush toward the future". While Ms. Felix's words regarding America are re-assuring, unfortunately they do not really reflect reality. In many cases, in fact, the United States does "cling to its past".
Americans' obsession with race stems directly from an inability to come to terms with the fact that slavery was an essential component of early America's industrial development. One example of this inability to come to terms with the fact came when students and faculty at the University of Virginia were "offended" when the president of the University quoted the school's founder Thomas Jefferson in an email to the student body. In a typically American response, Assistant Professor of Psychology Noelle Hurd drafted an open letter saying "We are incredibly disappointed in the use of Thomas Jefferson as a moral compass. Thomas Jefferson owned hundreds of slaves". Apparently Ms. Hurd—despite being able to successfully obtain a PhD—never learned to think critically during her education and is evidently unaware of what the social structure was during Thomas Jefferson's time. No one can ever say that it was a good or a just system, but to judge people from 200 years ago on the standards of today is fairly absurd. The president of the San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education went so far as to call for all schools named after slave owners to be re-named. In particular, he asked that George Washington high school be renamed as Maya Angelou high school.
Of course this is a slippery slope. Names are powerful, and Turkey's renaming of stadiums is part of a similar process of rewriting the national narrative. In this case, however, it is indicative of America's obsession with the past: There is a lot of guilt but very little improvement. Instead of actually trying to better the lives of African Americans in the country, the Democratic party (which most African Americans vote for) has only entrenched them in a form of political slavery by taking their votes for granted and giving them little in return in terms of tangible improvements in quality of life. After all, if their economic situation improved then they would have little reason to vote for a party that runs campaigns based on improving their lives. The party therefore has little interest in improving anything since it would mean lost votes. African Americans in the United States deserve to have better lives and more opportunities; renaming schools for famous African Americans is just a pathetic attempt to pander without providing real improvement. This means that the exploitation of a long suffering group of Americans continues on.
The delegation for LA's Olympic bid is also complicit in this system. While I wish that the United States could, as Ms. Felix says, "rush towards the future", her very presence in the delegation as an African American athlete is indicative of these flawed policies. If LA succeeds in winning the bid, the beneficiaries in the (corrupt) system will likely be mostly White, even if the key speaker is not. It is just another job of window dressing that fails to address the root causes of African Americans' marginalization in U.S. society and fails to offer real avenues for improving the situation. Remember the last Olympic games held in the United States. After the 1996 Olympics, held in the largely African American city of Atlanta, Georgia, it was the same: the poorest communities did not benefit at all from the development boom surrounding the games.

Least Developed Countries
The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) represent the poorest and weakest segment of the international community. Extreme poverty, the structural weaknesses of their economies and the lack of capacities related to growth, often compounded by structural handicaps, hamper efforts of these countries to improve the quality of life of their people. These countries are also characterized by their acute susceptibility to external economic shocks, natural and man-made disasters and communicable diseases.
The Office for the LDC Programme and Regional Coordination (LDCR), which is part of the Development and Regional Activities Department is responsible for ensuring the development and the effective implementation of the WMO Programme for the LDCs, in close collaboration with other DRA offices and other scientific and technical programmes. It's main focus lies on the following areas:

Here I am at the Quickdraw event in Trinidad, CO on Saturday, July 21, but I'm jumping ahead of my story. I begin this trip on the previous Sunday as I drove from Tucson to my friend, Ashley's house in Raton, NM. Our plan was to exhibit in the annual art show in Cuchara, CO to which we had already been accepted. I was looking forward to some plein air painting, conversation with artists, and hopefully some sales.
I rested on Monday after the 11 hour drive to Raton but Tuesday I got busy and started a painting of Ashley's patio using a new technique of pastels on a gessoed board with acrylic underpainting. It is very colorful as you can see. The following day I painted a rose in the garden that had just bloomed before we drove up to drop our artwork off at Cuchara which is about 9,000 ft. elevation and beautiful. The Highway of Legends aka Route 12 that we took up there is a fantastic scenic route and I highly recommend it. The day was overcast and cool which was a welcome relief from the lower elevation heat.
Carol Bourdo
We decided to go to Folsom, NM on Friday which is named after the archealogical site where the Folsom points were discovered. There is a very interesting museum there and some abandoned old buildings of which the Folsom Supply is one. We painted that afternoon in the heat and Ashley made plans to organize a local paint out there. Saturday morning I drove to Trinidad for the paint out that was a fundraiser for the Mitchell Museum. Carol Bourdo is one of the local artists who participated.
I returned to Raton around noon and we packed the car and headed for Taos. Ashley was scheduled to give a presentation at Pecha Kucha night in Penasco just south of Taos. http://www.pecha-kucha.org/night/taos/7 You can find out all about it on their website and also about the old theatre where it was held at www.penascotheatre.org. Ashley read her poetry as her artwork was shown behind her on a large screen. She was one of 10 presenters which ranged from painters to bee keepers.
Buffalo Soldiers Museum in Ft. Garland
We stayed the night in Taos with our artist friend, Mary Barnes, and the following day drove up through Ft. Garland, CO to Cuchara. Sunday was the final day of the show and we were anxious to find out if we had sold anything. We were disappointed I'm sorry to say as there were many more craft booths competing for the potential buyers attention than we had expected. Ashley sold one piece and I sold zip. Too bad I didn't make a painting of that. (sad attempt at humor)
Ashley leaving her garden.
I will end this little tale on an upbeat note however as I truly enjoyed the change of scenery, getting 5 more paintings done, relaxing on the patio as the sun set, and watching old movies and documentaries on Open Culture. I do also very much enjoy visiting my friends in Raton and especially the Chinese Restaurant there; best tofu and vegetable stir fry ever!

Once you open sounding for field game gifts for your brother, son, parent or partner, you in a minute hit upon that near is undeniably no famine of football gifts some in the marketplace.

So bighearted a liquor flask extolled with an NFL trademark is as inapposite for a non-drinker as is a logo-ed lighter for causal agency who does not aerosol.

Similarly, posters, key irons and other than football game overlapping knick knacks are OK if your receiver is not elapsed his teens, but you can always come in up beside thing in good health for your husband, relative or parent.
Consider Your Budget: It is all terribly all right if you prefer to buy quite a lot of unusual football memorabilia for your boy pal as a gift, only to breakthrough out then that it is way farther than your monetary fund.

Ladybirds in your garden, how many?
As children most of us were very picky about what insects we liked. For me personally, earwigs, centipedes, spiders, and all sorts of flies (horseflies especially) scared the pants off me. Then there were the ladybirds, which for one reason or another always found favour with the younger me.
Why did I love ladybirds? My love for them sprung from something as simple as the fact that many of the storybooks I read at that time came from the Ladybird publishing house. A happy cartoon Ladybird adorned their covers, so it was not too large a leap for me to allow the real thing crawl up along my fingers.
Years later, and I now see more qualities than just their friendly look. I realise that the ladybirds in my garden act as natural pest control, feeding on aphids (greenfly), whiteflies, and mites. Depending on their size, ladybirds can consume anything from 1,000 to 5,000 aphids over their adult life.
But it is not just the adult ladybirds that help us gardeners. Female's lay anything from twenty-five to fifty eggs each day, which hatch out as hungry larvae. These have the ability to pack away approximately fifty aphids each day of their young lives.
Ladybirds in your garden. How's your garden fixed for a few ladybirds? They seem to be very scarce this summer for whatever reason. I reckon I have seen just three of the spotted fellows over the past few weeks, and come to think of it that may have been the same individual on each sighting.
It's not just here in Co. Galway either, as gardeners in other counties have noticed their absence as well. One gardener from Co. Westmeath commented "is it just my garden or are the ladybirds extinct? Every year we had quite a few around our garden, but this year even though the influx of greenfly has been "humongous", I have not seen one ladybird or their larvae around… what is going on?"
Another gardener from Co. Wexford remarked, "I've seen no ladybirds at all this year, but then pests and other insects seem to be in short supply too. Because of the cold winter I wonder?"
However I was buoyed by reports from one gardener from Maynooth in Co. Kildare who reportedly counted thirteen ladybirds in their garden one evening. Further good news came in from a gardener in North Dublin, near the phoenix park, who proudly boasted "Lots of Ladybirds in my Garden".
Reasons for low ladybird numbers.
So why have some gardens been blessed with an abundance of ladybirds this year and others are lucky to see one? Well it could be any number of reasons, but the use of pesticide sprays does have a great bearing on whether ladybirds choose to visit your garden.
What I have noticed is that using any form of spray, organic or otherwise, reduces the chances of ladybirds coming into your garden. So, if you see a few greenfly about your lettuce, hold fire, don't reach for the bug spray straight away. Ladybirds will come to your aid provided there are greenfly present and unpoisoned by pesticides.
Plants for ladybirds
Once ladybirds are in your garden it's nice to keep them there. To allow them over-winter you must provide them with as many hibernation places as possible. Ladybirds have great community spirit, and can often be found hibernating together in old tree trunks and in hollow dead plant stems. But if you are scrupulous in your garden tidy-ups these sorts of hibernation sites will not be available to our spotted friends. Some folks will provide a specially built ladybird house for their garden visitors.
I suggest that when it comes to tidying your garden each autumn that you leave many of your hollow stemmed plants uncut. If you absolutely have to cut them back then please stack these tubes in a reasonably dry sheltered spot for use as ladybird homes.
Around the allotment,vegetable and herb garden, examples of hollow stemmed plants would be the likes of fennel (Foeniculum), dill (Anethum), angelica, and lovage (Levisticum).
If you have a perennial garden nearby, examples would be masterwort (astrantia), Sea holly (Eryngium) and lupins.
If you've got none of the above, your site may actually play host to one weed that will allow ladybirds over-winter. It's Heracleum also known as hogweed, which although invasive, is a real friend to the ladybird with its large hollow stems.
Now, who would have thought that a weed could be so helpful?

|Ages of Norrath
|The Creation of Norrath
|The Age of Scale
|The Elder Age
|The Age of Monuments
|The Age of Blood
|The Lost Age
|The Age of Enlightenment
|The Age of Turmoil
|The Age of War
|The Age of Cataclysms
|The Age of Destiny
The Age of War (also referred to as the Age of Defiance) refers to a period of Norrathian history that encompassed and was defined by the Rallosian War.
The Rallosian Army, also known as the Army of Rallos Zek, was an Ogre army that marched upon the peoples of the then-intact continent of Antonica with impunity. The commander in chief of the Army was General Urduuk.
During the Siege of Gukta, one of the major campaigns of the Rallosian War, the Froglok people were nearly eradicated in what can only be termed a systematic genocide.
The Age of War came to an effective end after General Urduuk made the tactical miscalculation of laying siege to The Temple of Cazic-Thule in The Feerrott. Rallos Zek and Cazic-Thule had a pre-existing pact of allegiance, and Cazic took this insult as a violation of that pact. Consequently, the Greenmist, an ancient biological weapon, was released (ostensibly by Cazic himself) and effectively ended the Ogre campaign and very nearly destroyed the race as a whole. (Survivors of the campaign who were deep in Guk at the time of the release of the Greenmist were cut off from the rest of the Ogre army, and eventually became their own sect, the Thullosians, likely a hybridization of the words "Thule" and "Rallosian.")
