At Insight, we're focused on delivering continuous incremental and strategic change to help businesses run smarter. That's why the new features in your myInsight account give you even more visibility into your procurement activities.
End-to-end order visibility & tracking
The ability to track your orders in real time helps you manage your team's expectations better and improves your overall purchasing experience.
We understand that purchasing technology investments often requires coordination among multiple teams within your organization. Providing access within the procurement platform to the right people ensures everyone involved knows what's going on when they need to. We've redesigned the look and feel of your recent orders view, improved search options and added new status bars.
All of your recent order statuses at a glance
Experience enhanced visibility into your recent orders with a fresh new look. You can view key order information such as order number, date, total and account information. The new order status tracker displays color-coded bars, giving you a simple way to visually differentiate the statuses of your recent orders. Expand or collapse each order to view a sample of the products included.
Quicker access to what you need with improved search
Some clients in multisite organizations have access to improved search functionality that enables filtering by key components, including status type, date range, account, product type, operations center, region, customer info and more.
Order details that display your most top-of-mind info
If you need to look deeper into an order, selecting the order number link on the Recent orders page will direct you to the order details. This user-friendly view gives you all of the essential insights about the order in an easy-to-understand hierarchy.
The color-coded progress bar provides a visual indicator of the order's progress. Leverage on-page actions such as reordering or adding tracking notifications. Simple tabbed navigation makes exploring additional details regarding shipments and customer info simple.
Enhanced tools & dashboards for order tracking
Need to track the status of a particular order quickly? Use the enhanced tool or locate the order on your new dashboard. The Track your order section on myInsight now offers additional search options and displays color-coded status trackers for a seamless and consistent experience.
Or quickly locate recent orders on the new dashboard with visual indicators to determine the order's current status.
Client-driven improvements to Renewals & Warranty Manager
Continuing in the spirit of providing greater visibility, we've partnered with clients, pilot users and other subject matter experts to gain feedback on where we could improve dashboards within the platform. We understand effective maintenance is the proactive maintenance of your inventory and contracts. Enhanced functionality includes:
- Data cleanup to reduce instances of expired renewals
- New rules around date range & statuses for easier viewing
- Improved verbiage for more clarity
- More seamless transitions from dashboards to drill-down pages
More overall enhancements & remediation
New global header for insight.com
We've redesigned and simplified our global header. Existing clients with custom header permissions will still have the same rules applied. However, everything has been repackaged for a crisper look and feel. Explore the mega menu, find what you need in a simplified search experience or access account tools in just a few clicks.
General defect remediation
As with every release, we've made some fixes and resolved:
- Issues navigating between country selections
- Error emails not being sent to the appropriate support teams
- Broken order tracking link on mobile (Android, iOS)

Best of
the Twin Cities
It's Saturday and you started tying one on at 4. By 10 p.m., you've nailed your rendition of Rihanna's "Work," and you're pretty sure your living room walls are swaying along. Let's get some food in you, shall we? With a name so simple a baby could remember it, Taco Cat delivers straight to your door, so you won't be driving — or let's be honest, walking — anywhere to get grub. (They did open a permanent location in Midtown Global Market last fall, but you're not going anywhere, remember?) For $10 get the Outlaw, three slow-roasted pork tacos with kimchee, pickled jalapeño apple slaw, crema, and salsa verde. Or for a buck less, try the Larry, three tacos with a facepalm-simple yet delicious mix of chicken, chorizo, and cheese. Too fumbly to handle a bunch of open-ended tacos? We got you: A single, fat burrito is a two-hander, but approachable enough for the most inebriated inebriate, and comes in veggie, steak, chicken, or pork.

Believe it or not I have only had a computer for about 2 years. I know, how did I survive?? Actually it really wasn't that bad. Surprisingly enough you can live without technology. You don't miss what you don't know you are missing. I wasn't void of all technology. My husband brought his work laptop home on the weekends. He also bought me a kindle which helped me connect with the outside world. Unfortunately it just broke, or rather my kids broke it. They have a habit of breaking things.
When I was able to get on the internet, I found a few blogs that I found really inspiring. I loved reading them and was always encouraged. I did at times wonder how they managed to blog and take care of their families. Even though I wasn't sure how it all worked I thought it looked like a great outlet to have from home. I have always loved to journal and write and crazily enough God put it on my heart to start a blog. I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't research how to start a blog. I didn't know what html was. I didn't know how to make links. I didn't know how to promote my blog. I didn't get someone to create my site for me. I just jumped in and have been learning as I am going ever since.
My blog is by no means perfected and I still have so much to learn, but isn't the process the best part? I have learned so much about myself as I have opened my heart to perfect strangers and friends alike. There is nothing like putting yourself out there to really make you get out of your comfort zone. I have searched my motives more deeply and questioned how I use my time and my actions.
Blogging is not easy.(I share more in detail about balancing blogging and family here) It can distract you from other things you should be doing, especially when you love to blog. It is not for everyone and you are not less than if you don't have a blog. Like so many other things; it is a platform to be used for either good or evil. We have to be obedient to God to use our time and resources to glorify him in the way that he leads us.
As the thoughts of starting a blog were whirling around in my head I kept sensing the word faithful. I knew I wanted to encourage other women to be faithful in the everyday little things that no one else might see except God; i.e. cleaning, laundry, mothering, cooking, homeschooling, time management,devotions, ministering to your husband, exercise.
The verse that came to my mind was from the parable of the talents:
Loving our children and husband well are a mother and wife's highest calling; not just reserved for the select few. Not all women are gifted as housewives, mothers and wives but as we surrender our lives to God's will he gives us everything we need to be who he has called us to be.
As you read my meager attempt at putting my two cents into a world that seems to be bursting at the seams with blogs filled with many different opinions, information, how to's and insights; I pray that you come away encouraged and edified. I want you to know that you are valued and that all you do is valued and worth being faithful with. I hope you feel like you are visiting a friend when I share the goings on of my little family, homeschool, struggles and heart.
It can be easy to forget why I started this blog and get caught up in trying to make a tiny dent in the blogosphere. There are so many things I could be doing to get the word out there about my blog, but right now I know that I need to be faithful to do what God has called me to do and not get side tracked with trying to keep up with the latest blogging trends. I know there are certain "blogging rules" and "dos and don'ts" if you want to make it in the blogging world but I don't want to sacrifice my morals and convictions in the name of success. I need to simply keep sharing what God puts on my heart...when I am able.
I love this little place that I have come to meet so many wonderful women and mamas who are just like me; trying to do the best they can with all that God has given them. But there are many days when I know by connecting in cyberspace I am disconnecting myself from the ones in my immediate space. So if you don't hear from me that often or consistently know that I desire to be faithful with this blog but I am trying my best to be faithful to Jesus, my family and my home foremost...and I pray you are too.
I am excited to see what God is going to do with "the talents" he has entrusted to me; though it's likely I might not get to see how God uses me fully. More than anything else I want to hear him say, "Well done good and faithful servant...enter into the joy of your master."
If you have a blog, why did you start yours?
What has God put on your heart to be faithful with?
How are you investing your "talents"?
Linking up with some of these amazing link parties!

Noah and the Great Flood: A Reminder about Man's Redemption and God's Mercy
The Christian movie Noah released in 2014 tells us about the wicked ways of men during the period of Noah's life. Although they took the plot on some events described in Genesis in The Bible, the presentation contained more cinematic effects intended to please the audience.
The main idea of this film is to show that the Creator has made a world that is good and that men through free will have chosen to corrupt it. To serve justice and destroy the world and its inhabitants.
The young Noah saw his father's death in the hands of a Tubal-Cain. From that scene, we get to feel his numbing pain that he brought to his adult life. Noah lived with his wife and three sons as far away from the Tubal-Cain as possible. It's not because he was afraid of them but because he knew he would fight for their survival. Like Noah, strong-willed people keep their distance from adversaries but can and will fight back when the situation calls for it.
In a dream, Noah saw the great flood. He sought guidance from his grandfather Methuselah who confirmed God chose him for a reason. We can relate to this scene when we face life-changing problems. We sometimes see ourselves caught in between reasoning and emotions that it takes a wise person in our lives to give us words of encouragement so we can get things done.
The existence and description of The Watchers are not from an account in The Bible. However, one compelling scene was when one of them said, "We begged the Creator to take us home, but He was silent." The Watchers acknowledged where they came from and would return to the Creator. The silence mentioned here may mean moments in our lives when we beg to Him to take away our pain. He may have been distant at times. His silence may teach us patience to wait for a clearer perspective, a firm decision or another chance to change our course in life.
Ila's character, Tubal-Cain's group attacking the Ark and Noah's son Ham conspiring with Tubal-Cain in trying to kill Noah in the Ark may have been fictional scenes to create more drama to the plot. However, we can relate to Ila's fears when Noah was about to kill her twins. We feel Tubal-Cain's wrath and Ham's disobedience to Noah. Their characters represent who we choose to follow. They have shown possible consequences derived from their actions.
In conclusion, the Christian films Noah was a creative interpretation of some of the scriptural account. The context was about the Creator's mercy. Men's wicked ways pained Him, and by the great flood, humanity's redemption happened.
In this generation, we get to fail Him multiple times. But His mercy remains the same. We now have the opportunity to repent, be saved from our sins and live a purposeful life.

Pricer's Points: eCommerce & Pricing: Threat or Opportunity? | Thomas Igou
I had the fantastic opportunity to moderate a roundtable discussion on the topic at the 6th Annual Manufacturing Pricing Excellence in Milan and listen to different viewpoints. The one common thread among all pricing leaders in the face of the growth of ecommerce: "we cannot lose control of our prices." There was no common thread, however, on how to go about it exactly.
If threatened by an enemy, there are always two options: beat them, or join them. It seems that for manufacturers that have already entered the digital sphere, the same rule applies with ecommerce. One participant had confided taking volumes on Alibaba to see how it works and test the waters; another had explained having entered in a pilot with Amazon to set prices; others were setting up their own ecommerce platforms to compete directly with the likes of Amazon and Alibaba.
There were some still skeptical about getting into the ecommerce game at all. One participant feared that if he started an ecommerce platform, that would create a big conflict with his distributors, who would then run away to his competitors. But another participant challenged him to consider, then, if he actually needed distributors at all? Disintermediation, or the disappearance of the middlemen in a value chain, is a growing trend; ecommerce is making that even more transparent. If you can sell directly to your end users, do you still need the same set up of distributors, resellers, garages etc…?
Another participant said his business absolutely needed distributors, because another aspect of ecommerce is that distributors themselves can get into the game, and what he's seen in his industry is that distributors from different regions are now competing against each other (not necessarily on purpose) because of ecommerce. Digital has no physical barriers.

Talking to Family and Friends
Talking with your loved ones before a medical crisis happens, gives everyone a shared understanding about what matters most to you at the end of life.
Conversations about your wishes can:
- bring families together by helping them understand what is important to you
- help your loved ones to communicate to your health professionals what is most important to you
- help you to figure out where you stand and what you want in terms of:
- the information you want about your condition and your treatment
- how much of a say you want to have in decisions about your treatment and how much you will leave it to your doctors
- whether you want to know how long the doctors think you have left to live
- what your worries about medical treatment are
- what your preferences are about where you would like to spend your last days
- how involved you want your loved ones to be in your care/treatment decisions
Conversations can also help your loved ones understand where you are coming from, particularly when they may disagree with you, its ok for them not to be in full agreement continuing to talk can help both you and them.
Yet having conversations about dying and end of life choices can be difficult, often family members may not be keen to engage saying things like 'you've got a long time left;', or 'you'll outlive me'.
Here are some ways you could introduce the conversation:
- "I was thinking about what happened to…. , and it made me realize…"
- "Even though I'm okay right now, I'm worried that , and I want to be prepared."
- "I need to think about the future. Will you help me?"
When having these conversations, it's good to remember that a good death can mean different things to different people and that people can change their minds as circumstances change.

At Propelics, our UX/UI design team focuses first on a mobile application's visual architecture—usability and wireframes—long before we even give a thought to a project's design. In this industry, the period between research and planning and deciding upon colors can seem a bit long—though in reality it's not any longer than it ought to be.
Whenever we are stuck on the best way to solve an interface puzzle, we always find the quickest way to a solution is to check out other great UI examples, not to copy them, but to gain UI inspiration through others' work, and to see how great designers and UI architects have approached similar situations.
Of course, when doing so, it is crucial to also keep in mind the client for whom you are designing along with the particulars of the job. Every platform has its own unique quirks. When it comes to mobile apps the best practice is to first understand and identify any UX/UI differences across platforms (iOS to Android being the most obvious).
This being said, I hope you find these five examples of sites and resources useful the next time you're trying to determine the best design direction for a mobile user interface.
1) iOS Human Interface Guidelines
This site is the Mecca for iOS User Experience and Human Interface Guidelines. Be sure to familiarize yourself with all of Apple's control types and interaction methods for iPhone, iPad and now Apple Watch. Pay close attention to the exact layout proportions, things like top bar, list items height and tab bars. The little things mean a lot!
2) Android Material Design Guidelines
If you're building an app for Android, here is where you'll find all the relevant Material Design documentation—Android's new design environment (starting with version 5.0 devices). These guidelines are well worth a close read, the level of specification is great and they cover all aspects of UX-UI design.
Most importantly, be sure you understand and are able to identify all the differences between the two platforms if your app idea is covering both. No matter the device, taking into account everything from navigational button-styles to variations in text input to keyboard height differences—plus so much more—will make all the difference when trying to create a truly native experience for the user.
3) UI patterns
A bit of inspiration is always welcome. This site is a huge compilation of mobile UI examples—the best of the best according to the owners. I agree with the quality of most of them. Here you can find screen designs for iPhone, iPad, Android and Apple Watch. Quickly looking through a bunch of great screens to see how the heavy-hitters are dealing with similar usability issues and then borrowing bits and pieces from the best examples is the perfect shortcut to discovering your own original designs.
Every so often, for one reason or another, our clients fail to provide a company color palette. Beginning the UI design phase without a palette can wind up leading to frustration—for the designer! Because colors are so much about preferences, a designer lacking a color direction might naturally gravitate towards using his or her favorite colors, only to end up being disappointed when the client disagrees with the choices. Colour Lovers helps you select gorgeous color palettes with good contrast by searching thousands of existing compositions or by creating your own original color sets. More importantly, however, whenever a client disagrees with your color choices, don't take it personally!
5) Pinterest
Of course, we all know about Pinterest, the web's premier source for image collections about anything. But have you ever considered using it as a design resource? If you ever find you're having an off day and creativity and inspiration aren't coming very easily, try Pinterest. This social platform contains images of literally everything. From a UI design perspective you can find thousands of different styles, whether for mobile, web, desktop or whatever. Other platforms like Dribbble or Behance are geared more towards digital design, but Pinterest has the answers to everything, even how you should decorate your studio!
I hope you find this list valuable. If you know of some others you think are great for finding inspiration, please let us know, the design community will thank you. Alternately, if your company needs better design but finds its completely stumped as to what to do, check out our Mobile UI/UX Design Kickstart, then give Propelics a call. Whether your company is redesigning an existing app (or suite of apps) or is looking to add new devices to its portfolio, our 2-week Mobile UI/UX Design Kickstart will have your apps looking and feeling amazing in no time.

One's own emotional response toward a hypothetical action can influence judgments of its moral acceptability. Some individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit atypical emotional processing, and moral judgments. Research suggests, however, that emotional deficits in ASD are due to co-occurring alexithymia, meaning atypical moral judgments in ASD may be due to alexithymia also. Individuals with and without ASD (matched for alexithymia) judged the moral acceptability of emotionevoking statements and identified the emotion evoked. Moral acceptability judgments were predicted by alexithymia. Crucially, however, this relationship held only for individuals without ASD. While ASD diagnostic status did not directly predict either judgment, those with ASD did not base their moral acceptability judgments on emotional information. Findings are consistent with evidence demonstrating that decision-making is less subject to emotional biases in those with ASD.

A newly-minted private eye reflects on his first twelve months on the job.
My year of transitioning from an apprentice to a journeyman investigator has been an unpredictable adventure. Concisely, it has been life changing. I have travelled across my state to places I've never heard of at all. I've visited neighboring states where I only knew the major cities; now I know the small towns. I've learned to love the freedom of the road and the mundane aspects of static surveillance as much as I love the adrenaline rush of mobile surveillance.
All around, it's been a brilliant year.
I was working an unrewarding job in my home city, for a business stuck in the 1950s. This work left the talents that I had developed while studying journalism/PR/human communications at Eureka College unused and stagnating. I'd honed these skills for two years working at local newspapers, where I continued to learn how to collect information through open-source intelligence and interviews: human intelligence gathering.
I missed using those skills. Thankfully, an online ad for a private investigator's position found itself on my radar. In around three weeks, I was hired by a national insurance fraud investigations company.
This was the start of my career in professional investigations. I truly love my new job: I uncover the truth, whether it be through surveillance, open-source research, or interviews. I didn't learn all this on my own, though. I had some excellent teachers. I work for one of them right now.
I am privileged and honored to work in private investigations. I am humbled to be standing on the shoulders of giants in my field. Here are some of the lessons that I have learned from them.
1. Keep things simple.
We all have the essentials, right? We have our power inverters, our tinted windows on our surveillance vehicles, and the props for a believable, yet discreet pretext. We have tools to make our fun and challenging job possible.
But what about our video capture? What about the date and time stamp? Are we stuck in the past with video capture software?
We wouldn't go back to old school cameras. But we should have a camera that renders that date and time stamp for us, rather than relying on software that requires us to review video before we hand it over to a client.
We don't need to create problems that prompt us to improve our processes. But we should have the best tools to keep our difficult jobs simplified.
2. Listen to credible, seasoned hands.
When I began in this business, I had the good fortune of being hired by a national insurance investigation firm that is no more due to a merger. While working for this company, I was paired with a seasoned investigator for field training. This training equipped me well for the new career I was undertaking.
This investigator was a well-regarded veteran and a good teacher, with years of experience in both surveillance and SIU work. Working with him was a crash course—and much more. I learned how to choose a good discreet static position, how to craft a legal and ethical pretext, and how to handle a rural case (out where the only landmarks are grain silos).
Even after our formal mentorship had ended, I could always call, text, or email him with my questions—and he replied each time. He guided me in situations where I wasn't experienced enough yet to rely on my gut instincts in the field. Most of all, my trainer helped me become an independent decision maker—the most important trait a field investigator can acquire.
I once called him with a question during a complex case (or so it seemed to me at the time). I'll never forget his response. I foolishly failed to write it down, but here is a close paraphrase:
"Brandon, I've never encountered that situation before. You're good at this, it's up to you."
I learned so much from that statement. It reinforced my confidence in the credibility of my mentor—he knew the limits of his knowledge and expected me to figure things out for myself.
In our line of work, we have to be independent decision makers. My mentor understood this and wanted me to develop my ability to think on my feet. He woke me up and made me confident in my career choice. And he laid a good cornerstone in my mind of how to get started doing this work and doing it well.
3. You are going to get burned (compromised).
This was the bitterest lesson of my first year on the job: Everyone, EVERYONE gets burned at some point. And I did too, after four months on the job. I was excited about my newfound ability to stay hidden in plain sight, whether it be on foot or in the surveillance vehicle. As I learned the tradecraft, I felt proud of how good I had gotten.
Then it happened. I was working a file in a rural community. I already had a decent discreet static surveillance position. I had a good view of the only egress route, but I was growing restless. I decided to move in closer.
My new position was still discreet, but too close. As they day turned from one of static surveillance to mobile surveillance, I followed the subject to a city an hour away. I gained about thirty minutes of overt and covert video combined. Then we returned to the village he lived in. Upon our return, he came out with a large camera equipped with a telephoto lens. I knew I was burned.
It was a painful lesson, but it didn't mean my record was tarnished. It was simply a rite of passage in this shadowy trade we ply.
If you are too anxious about being compromised, you can't do this job.
4. Have fun!
This job takes place in a world most people only dream of. We are privileged to work in it every day. And as professionals, we should be proud of what we do: We uncover truth and find facts where others are unable to. That to me is fun—as it should be to you.
Being a professional investigator is a fulfilling career, in which the pursuit of truth is the focus of the job.

"Corning's book is a masterpiece of synthesizing the most far-reaching facts and theories of evolutionary biology (and many other fields) and applying them with finesse to a variety of social phenomena. This book is a challenging and path-breaking contribution."
"This is an exceptionally ambitious and important book that proposes to change the way most of us have thought about 'Darwinism' and evolutionary processes. Corning achieves this goal in many ways, but most effectively by integrating both his own diverse work in recent years and citation of just about everyone who has played a major role in scholarly dialogue on evolutionary biology and behavior over the last generation."
"An extraordinary tour-de-force."

Banking is about managing risk and multiple risk types. In fact, a bank's raison d'être is to accept structured uncertainty and manage the associated risks, with the goal of capitalizing on these risk differences to earn profits. The skill with which your bank balances alternative risk/reward strategies will determine your ability to deliver on shareholder returns. However, in a market environment where competition, globalization, market volatility, and structural change are increasing, you need to manage their risks even better — and with greater transparency. Informatisol has galvanized financial institutions around the world to re-evaluate the role of risk management

If you ever wanted to know who your number one fan was, most of us would say our mums. With the pressure of winning Wimbledon on Andy Murray's shoulders you'd expect him to rely on his mum for some support. But at present it appears her allegiances are elsewhere. Judy Murray, 50, tweeted yesterday 'Wow. You can get odds of 20-1 that I'm going to wolf whistle at Deliciano during the quarterfinal. Can't chat… off to my wolf whistling lesson.' Andy responded by telling the Evening Standard, 'It will be interesting to see how my mum copes with me playing Feliciano – or Deliciano as she keeps calling him. I haven't spoken to her about that yet but I'm pretty sure she'll be supporting me – I think.' After a small uproar from the press, the tennis champ's mum defended her crush saying, 'It had gone a bit far, but it's not difficult to know who to support – it's Andy all the way. But I am just one of a lot of Feliciano female fans I am in the majority – but of course family loyalty comes into it hugely.'
What do you think? Would you be upset if your dad fancied someone you were competitions against? What about if you mum fancied one of your friends? Should Andy's mum be free to tweet what she wishes? Or should she have shown more solidarity to her son?

Documentary on the life and legacy of the first African American to achieve national fame as a writer. Born to former slaves in Dayton, Ohio, Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), is best remembered for his poem, "We Wear the Mask" and for lines from "Sympathy" that became the title of Maya Angelou's famous autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings."
A clip of Angelou reciting Dunbar's poem on the David Frost Show is featured. Dunbar's story is also the story of the African American experience around the turn of the century. The man Abolitionist Frederick Douglass called "The most promising young colored man in America" wrote widely published essays critical of Jim Crow Laws, lynching and what was commonly called "The Negro Problem." Yet, to earn a living, Dunbar worked as an elevator boy and wrote poems and stories utilizing "Plantation Dialect." He also composed songs for Broadway that bordered on blackface minstrelsy.

Did Nick Lachey's Bengals team spirit go a little too far?
After the singer tweeted about a heated exchange Sunday between him and a Chargers fan during a game in San Diego, a report surfaced alleging that the 39-year-old star not only unleashed a cuss-filled rant at the fan's wife but also attempted to choke the fan himself.
Vanessa Lachey's hubby, however, is ready to set the record straight.
"This was a verbal exchange between sports fans of opposing teams that went too far," Lachey's rep tells E! News in a statement. "While Nick isn't proud of what happened, he did not choke anyone or use defamatory language to any women at the stadium—which the video tape clearly supports," referring to a clip that surfaced showing parts of the encounter.
"Nick and his friends were interviewed by police outside the stadium and quickly released with no charges filed," his rep added. "We categorically deny any accusations that say otherwise and would defend against those claims should they arise."
So what purportedly went down?
A source tells E! News that Lachey and his pals happened to be sitting in between a bunch of Chargers fans, and that everyone was reportedly having a good time and having "friendly trash talk here and there between fans."
Later, as the game heated up, one of the Chargers fans supposedly had "a little too much to drink" and "decided to make a scene," our source tells us. The fan in question reportedly stood up and started pointing his finger at Lachey's face—a move that supposedly prompted some of the man's companions to apologize on his behalf.
The source says that at that point, Lachey and his group felt threatened and decided to leave on their own. On they way out, they purportedly chatted with security and police about the incident, but at no point, we're told, was Lachey or his group escorted out.
Nevertheless, Nick himself did tweet on Sunday, "Just got kicked out of the chargers stadium and couldn't be prouder! Go Cincy Bengals! #whodey," though explained, "For the record, i was not kicked out of the chargers game for excessive trash talking. no, that honor belonged to the guy in front of me!" He later added, "i simply don't appreciate someone turning around and putting their finger in my face."
However he happened to leave the game, Lachey managed to find a silver lining in this playbook: "Majority of charger fans were awesome yesterday, thanks for the hospitality!" he tweeted. "Sadly, there is always one guy that ruins it for everyone."
Can't win 'em all, Nick.

Unemployment Update: At Least It's Not 10 Percent
The U.S. economy shed another 263,000 jobs in September, pushing the unemployment rate up to 9.8 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
This loss exceeded forecasts which predicted a loss below 200,000.
The bigger-than-expected job losses are "disappointing," Christina Romer, President Barack Obama's chief economist, said today in a Bloomberg Television interview.
Working hours also declined for hourly workers, down to an average of 33 hours a week. Hourly earnings were a penny higher in September than they were in August.

The Ingredients of Excellence-Part I
By: Rick Boxx
March 16, 2015
Joshua had been warned by God to drive-out the wicked nations from the Promised Land. But after two great victories the Israelites were feeling over-confident.
Then the Gibeonites approached the Israelites. They convinced the Israelites that they were from a land far away. God's people did their due diligence by asking questions and examining their provisions, but they forgot the most important thing: they didn't ask God for His insight!
Joshua 9:14 reveals, "The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the Lord." It resulted in the Israelites sharing the Promised Land with the Gibeonites.
There are times when we feel our wisdom is sufficient to make a decision. Only the Lord, however, knows the deceptive hearts of others. Excellence requires asking God, as well as doing our research.

We hope you're paying attention to citizenship lessons and goings-on abroad. Last time, we highlighted citizenship in the Arab world and Russia; this time, we turn toward Europe. The tensions produced there between the rule of law, democratic ideals, and the need to seriously address the economic situation have raised some important questions.
Writing for the Washington Times, former U.S. ambassador John Bolton introduces the point well:
The crisis of the euro, the common currency of 17 European Union members, continues unabated. Because of massive, sustained budget deficits by several eurozone countries, some could default on their sovereign debt obligations, or the euro itself might disintegrate, profoundly affecting the EU's political and economic future.
Very little media attention, however, is focused on a very different, but even more important, EU problem, namely its "democratic deficit."
Ross Douthat, writing a week earlier for the New York Times, argues:
[F]or the inhabitants of Italy and Greece, who have just watched democratically elected governments toppled by pressure from financiers, European Union bureaucrats and foreign heads of state, [this anti-democratic scenario] evokes the cold reality of 21st-century politics. Democracy may be nice in theory, but in a time of crisis it's the technocrats who really get to call the shots. National sovereignty is a pretty concept, but the survival of the European common currency comes first. […]
From the American perspective, a more centralized and undemocratic Europe is clearly preferable to the risk of another recession. For the staggering world economy, it would be disastrous if a burst of nationalism somehow broke Europe's common currency.
But that's easy for us to say: it isn't our self-government that's at stake.
And so it isn't. According to AEI's Michael Greve in an article on Alexander Hamilton appearing in National Review, though, the problems run even a bit more practical as well: a government over governments (such as the EU, in contradistinction to American style federalism) is, to quote Hamilton, "subversive of the order and ends of civil polity." As Greve clarifies, "A now-we-mean it confederacy with teeth was not Hamilton's project. It was then, as it is now in Europe, the project of braindead state elites. Far from embracing it, Hamilton fought it with all his resolve and skill. What he fought for instead was a Constitution beyond Europe's reach and imagination–an actual fiscal union, with a federal government that directly taxes and regulates citizens but leaves state governments to their own fate. That is what we inherited. American federalism has its problems, but the prospect of installing trusted federal bureaucrats or governments of unity in Sacramento or Springfield is not among them."

Crossroads: Jihadi Infiltration in the US
My colleague, JD, analyzed the use of "Counter Narratives" for the establishment of federal-level engagement teams under the direction of the Department of State. Given the need for coalition building between (a) federal law enforcement and policy agencies and (b) Arab and Muslim leaders and citizens, narratives can constructively undertake information warfare.
As I discussed last Friday, it is becoming ever more clear that Al Qaeda's Phase IV Strategy incorporates attacks on US economic and legal frameworks as well as emerging US-domestic operational environments. This is being witnessed internationally, too, as the Taliban, AQAP, and Al Shabaab step-up their transnational terrorism efforts in alignment with AQCL ideology. It is in our national security interest - and the interest of the world - to prevent AQ from establishing safe havens in poor socio-economic regions; as we must protect peoples from their false promises. (See more insight on Economics and Terrorism from Abu Muqawama at CNS)
Combating jihadi propaganda through counter-narratives promises to (a) drive down AQ popularity by (b) crystallizing ethnic differences and (c) promoting collaboration to further a unified message-scheme. It will, as David Bellavia writes in his post entitled, "The Backbone of Islam," "...unmask al Qaeda" for what it really is.
The question remains, however, whether information warfare can unravel what Bill Whittle argues to be "Islamic Infiltration" in his latest report. See Part Two here.
The FBI is no stranger to moles; just ask about Robert Hanssen who sold millions of dollars worth of intelligence to Soviet spies. His trecherous activies cost lives as well as billions of dollars. Then-FBI Director, Louis J. Freeh, stated in a 20 February 2001 Press Release, "This kind of criminal conduct represents the most traitorous action imaginable against a country governed by the Rule of Law."
The crossroads of US and Islamic Rule of Law and Shar'iah's interwoven elements (i.e. "Shar'iah-Compliment Finance" discussed in the link provided) is exactly what Whittle's report brings into question, and that which Frank Gaffney of the Center For Security Policy has been covering for years.
The former Department of Defense analyst quoted in Whittle's video states;
"...[O]ver a long period of time I ended up collecting a large body of Islamic law, an enormous amount of it available in English, and realized that if Islamic law is the criteria by which you measure legitimacy or illegitimacy you can't show that the moderates have a doctrinal basis for the position they hold, and you can't show that on the statement of the law the radicals are wrong."
As a result, the unidentified analyst argues, "...the whole [US] national security apparatus...moved from a factual, legal basis to one that supports the narratives." The juxtaposed narratives of righteous Muslims and jihadi extremists need to be understood and clarified to arrive at what is virtuous and true. This is exactly what I think JD attempted to analyze and provide a strategic framework for in order to secure US social, cultural, and political prosperity.
We ought to worry about the infiltration of jihadi ideology throughout US demographics as much as operatives within US federal agency ranks. It is the task of security professionals to divide and conquer moles; it is a separate but just as integral task of citizens to identify and report on questionable activity. This is precisely the reason why the Intelligence Community should find it in their best interest to integrate a realistic system for identifying the religious and social behaviors of radical jihadists. Civic engagament teams can help strike a balance between encouraging what is safe and identifying what is harmful, that which decays and that which prospers. Policy debates ought to surround the questions, "What is the balance of allowing and encouraging diversity of thought and practice while disrupting and dismantling jihadi propaganda?"
Increasing social and cultural awareness requires a thorough analysis of what we have been witnessing for some years now in England, France and Germany, who are experiencing emerging AQ threats as well as tensions between regional/national heritage and customs of the Muslim Ummah and Shar'iah Law. Analysts and professionals alike are bound to become more frustrated in differentiating between righteous customs and jihadi customs if we fail to deciphere between efforts of propaganda and democratic prosperity. Such work can, as I said, (a) crystallize ethnic differences and (b) promote collaboration.
In one of my upcoming posts, I will elaborate on the FBI's Community Outreach Program in order to assess how JD's engagement teams can strategically counter jihadi narratives (i.e. exposed in false sharia fatwas that are not legitimate) through civic coalitions. This will, I think, holistically strengthen the ability of CT professionals to track, monitor, and interrupt actual and/or potential moles in agency rank and file and radicals moving throughout regional areas of society.

I think there is good reason to compartmentalize the infiltration:ReplyDelete
A) Do I think there is a problem within the ranks of the FBI, or other agencies for that matter? I am unsure myself, and am continuing to research this depending on open-source intel. From what I understand, many agencies need more Arab and Muslim analysts and agents.
Is this a problem that needs to remain on the table? Yes, of course, as it is always a possibility. The question is how and where.
B) Do I think this is an issue concerning the US socio-cultural dynamic? Absolutely, and I experienced it while a graduate student. Postmodernism and multiculturalism, in many ways, are avenues for division rather than unity. Diversity often argues for sympathy; rather, I seek truth.
Do I think this is a trend that will continue? Yes, and the connections between, for example, Pakistan and the Virginia Jihad Network highlight this concern. Also, Yemen and Somalia.
Remember, one-third of plots since 9/11 happened in 2009.

On the last point in the article concerning "why they radicalize," you must read a post on the LWJ by Daveed Gartenstein-Ross (Research Director, FDD); http://www.longwarjournal.org/threat-matrix/archives/2010/01/is_the_importance_of_terrorist.php.
I encourage you to read the direct link to Jessica Stern's article in the WaPo.
Threat Identification ProcessesReplyDelete
Once again I am concerned with fuzzy Threat Identification, TI. If I am doing TI on AQ, or any opponent, I want to select targets that are of real Value to him so that he is well and truly damaged. Now, I am concerned here with the possibility that this post fails at rigorous TI, and potentially degrades legitimate legal discourse within the United States.
In the second paragraph, it states that there is an "attack" by AQ on the U.S. "Legal Framework". This paragraph includes a link that further enunciates, sort of, this AQ Threat. Much of the piece then proceeds as though such an "attack" is well under way.
TI is the product of rigorous analytical processes, and I do not see such rigor here. Certainly there is a hot debate among real legal scholars about venue and process selection, but AQ is not in these debates. Additionally, American Muslims seem to be preparing to enter the Courts to defend their religious rights, but this is an Anglo-Saxon tradition that predates the Mayflower. What is clearly an erudite pos could be clearer on Threat Identification. After all, eradicating real Threats is the real business of War Fighters.

Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment (CPST) helps families meet the challenges associated with a young person's emotional and behavioral difficulties. CPST is effective in helping youth with chronic, serious emotional problems or behaviors including:
- Severe depression and anxiety
- Frequent and severe outbursts
- Destruction of property
- Aggression toward others
- Behaviors resulting in school exclusions
- Thoughts or acts of self injury or harming others
This program is particularly effective for youth where less intensive interventions have been unsuccessful or who have had multiple psychiatric hospitalizations. CPST emphasizes long-term change that families can maintain following treatment. Any combination of services may be provided to the youth and family including:
- Family interventions
- Individual sessions with youth
- Individual sessions with parents
- Assistance with management of crises
- Consultation with schools
- Coordination of activities with school systems, juvenile court and other social service agencies
- Arrangement of comprehensive assessment services including psychiatric and psychological evaluations
- Facilitation of individually tailored care
How the Program Works
A team of professionals provides intensive treatment and case management services to help families discover and use personal strengths and other sources of support such as relatives, friends and community resources. Treatment is provided in the home, at school, and throughout neighborhood and community settings.
Treatment focuses on helping parents build supportive social networks and empowering them to address their child's needs more effectively. The program emphasizes long-term change that families can maintain following treatment. Parents also learn skills that allow for effective parenting after treatment is ended. The intended result is that the youth will successfully remain in his or her own home, school and community.
The Team
The family is matched with a team of Applewood therapists, who are available 24/7, that includes a clinical supervisor and a CPST specialist trained in family systems and wrap-around concepts. Family supports are considered part of the team — including relatives, friends and professionals involved with the family. Because interventions are intensive, families receive weekly contact (at a minimum).
