With Support from the Goethe Institut
"…they blew my mind." –OpusOneReview
Performing works by Wolfgang Motz (Tratti), Thomas Bruttger (Recherche), Mathew Rosenblum (Northern Flicker), Amy Williams (Sextet), Steve Reich (New York Counterpoint), Eric Moe (Strenuous pleasures), Bruno Mantovani (Concerto de chambre no. 2).
Ensemble SurPlus travels to Pittsburgh from its home in Freiburg Germany to perform an international program including some of our Pittsburgh composers. Freiburg, situated near Germany's borders with France and Switzerland, has always been an international crossroads. Ensemble Surplus, founded by an American, performs chamber music by a wide range of composers, ranging from duos to large instrumental combinations. Its mission is to give new or unknown works an optimal performance, regardless of compositional style or technical and intellectual demands. After its formation in 1992 the ensemble was invited in the same year to perform at the International Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt. In 1993 it was engaged to give the first performance of a contemporary chamber opera at the Archipel Festival in Geneva, which received enthusiastic critical acclaim. Since that time it has gained increasing recognition on the international scene for contemporary music and has been a frequent guest at festivals throughout Europe, Asia and North America (June in Buffalo, Stanford University, University of Victoria). In addition to performing in traditional concert settings, SurPlus also welcomes experimental projects, improvisation and Music Theater. A close cooperation with Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart has existed since 1994. Most recently the Ensemble has collaborated in the project "New Music Network" funded by the German Ministry of Culture, working with young people in the German school system in order to educate a young public about new music. The ensemble has also collaborated closely with the Experimental Studio of the German Radio (SWR). Numerous CD productions and recordings (Ferneyhough, Clark, Spahlinger, Mahnkopf, Wolpe with Heinz Holliger) document the great versatility of the ensemble.
Tickets in advance: general admission is $15; students and seniors are $10. At the door: general admission is $20; non-Pitt students and seniors are $15. (No free student tickets at the Warhol.) Call 412-624-7529 or visit music.pitt.edu/tickets.

Shantae certainly has come a long way since her debut on the Game Boy Color back in 2002. The series has seen the release of 4 unique games in the 16 years since it's release. Unfortunately, some of the earlier titles never saw the light of day on earlier Xbox consoles. Shantae graced the Xbox One back in March 2016 with the release of the third game of the series, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Later in December of that same year Shantae: Half-Genie Hero would also release. Since that time, a large amount of downloadable content has been released for the game. Nearly a year and a half since the game's release, WayForward has, at last, brought us the Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition which includes the full game plus all extra content in one big convenient package. Eight different modes of content for $29.99. Is the ultimate edition a wish granted or a curse?
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero stars Shantae; a half-genie half human girl whose job is to protect Scuttle Town from an attack against any enemy. One day, her Uncle Mimic informs her that he wants to put together the dynamo, a device that when constantly powered will keep the town free from attack. The plans for the device are quickly stolen away by the evil Risky Boots, a devilish pirate woman and her band of Tinkerbat henchmen. Uncle Mimic tasks Shantae with recovering the plans and collecting all the different parts to construct the mechanism. The gameplay is simple. In each level, you are required to clear 2 – 3 different stages by running from the start of the level to the end. Enemies stand in your way, and the path is quite linear however there are areas off the beaten path that can lead to chests with upgrades or other different things. After the stages are clear you are required to fight a boss. The game does have other tasks outside of levels for you to complete which help to kill the monotony. Aside from the main game, the ultimate edition comes packed with 7 other modes. Pirate Queen's Quest is an alternate story that allows you to play as Risky Boots on a quest to build the Dynamo and control the genie realm. Friends to the End tasks you with playing Shantae's 3 friends, Sky, Bolo and Rottytops on a mission to free Shantae from a curse Risky has placed on her. Hard Core Mode is the main game with the difficulty ramped up to 10. It's more of an old-school difficulty challenge to truly test a player's skill. These are just a few of the extra modes the game has to offer.
What I liked:
Soundtrack – Don't let it bother you that the soundtrack is first on this list. The game is fantastic on many different levels. It's rare that a game will have you pointlessly standing around at a level doing nothing just so you can continue to hear the amazing soundtrack that the game has to offer. Each stage in a level offers a different musical track and more symphony to your ears. The soundtrack that Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has to offer will give you great reasons to do backtracking through previous levels, or even encourage you to buy the official soundtrack. Different modes come with different music for the levels and all of them are heavenly.
Creative Backtracking – The best type of exploration that a game can offer is the kind that requires you to come back to a level when you've got different abilities. Moving around a certain level, you come to a wall that looks like it should be able to be destroyed. Or you notice just off the edge of your screen, a treasure chest with no way to get to it. Simply playing the game and advancing the story may give you the tool you need to get some of the more hidden items in the game. There are even some collectibles that are way off the beaten path and only a true explorer will find. It's interesting to see levels set up like this as it has you question what would happen if you jumped off the cliff this far up. Would you the player fall to your death, or would you stumble upon a secret area?
Hardcore Mode – The Hardcore mode that is included with the ultimate edition is completely optional. It's probably best to consider giving the hardcore mode a playthrough after finishing the main game and finding you enjoyed it. Hardcore mode is what the main game should have been. To put it bluntly, the main game is a cakewalk where the hardcore mode actually has a considerable challenge for completing the game. The most recognizable differences right from the start are the increase in enemies, the damage the enemies do to you and the overall health of the bosses.
Pirate Queen's Quest – There's always something interesting about being able to play the enemy in a game such as this. It allows you to see firsthand the types of abilities and skills the enemy has. Risky Boots is not a genie-like Shantae is, so she is unable to turn into different forms. She does, however, have a disposal of different pirate tools at her disposal. Starting out she has a sword and the ability to summon Tinkerbat henchmen. Every time you complete a level she is given another interesting tool. This mode will have you questioning who's truly the better female.
Dialogue – The dialogue included in the game is interesting. Short parts of the dialogue are voiced by the character while the rest requires you to read. The whole concept gives players somewhat of an idea of how the main protagonist or her combatants sound. One interesting fact about this. The Kickstarter for the game back in September 2013 had an option for full voice acting had the game reached $1.1 million dollars in funding. The Kickstarter had only raised $776,084, so the complete voice work was never included. What is present is an interesting taste of what players could have expected.
What I didn't:
Friends to the End Mode – Possibly the only mode in the entire collection to not be enjoyable. You play Shantae's three friends Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops as they transition through her memories around each of the levels from the game. Each character has their own power. Bolo can chain swing on anchors and punch big rock walls. Rottytops can throw her zombie head through dark energy barriers which will transition her body over to the point her head lands. Sky can throw a bird egg which creates a platform, she can also glide using her bird. The problem with the mode is the concept is a lot slower paced than every other mode in the game. With the slower pace, it also makes some of the platforming segments also feel tedious. It's up to the player to figure out which character is needed for each levels obstacles. The controls are a bit clunky and the entire concept just feels complicated. The characters abilities can be leveled by collecting gems dropped by enemies and in various pots throughout levels. Each character's level is separate from each other but they all share the same health bar. This mode would have been better if it were just the main game and your character was one of the three friends (or perhaps all three of them appearing in different levels).
Even despite the many different modes featuring the same six levels, the game is still worth it for many other reasons. The phenomenal soundtrack, the funny and creative dialogue between characters and the interesting side stories between modes are what make the game a constant enjoyment. The game even comes packed with 46 achievements for those looking for a further challenge. Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition is definitely a bundle that holds weight with content and replay value for the decent price. Other bundles of this kind normally cost double the money and offer less in value.
Score: Must Buy
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition was developed and produced by WayForward. The game released on May 8, 2018, for $29.99. A copy was provided for review purposes.

Onuachu Voted Man Of The Match In Genk's Win Vs Mechelen
Onuachu Voted Man Of The Match In Genk's Win Vs Mechelen
Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has been voted Genk's Man of the Match after scoring two goals in their 3-1 home win against Mechelen in the Belgian Jupiler on Sunday, Completesports.com reports.
Genk announced Onuachu as the most outstanding player on their verified Twitter handle on Monday.
Onuachu took his goal tally in the league to four in five games after Sunday's game.
He opened scoring in the 10th minute before adding the third goal in the 68th minute.
He has now scored in consecutive games after getting on the score sheet in the 5-2 defeat at Beerschot last week Monday.
UCL : Chelsea Vs Sevilla Today At 8pm
Chelsea have no new injury concerns for the Sevilla match. Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is a doubt after missing the game against Southampton with a thigh injury sustained on Senegal duty.
Left-back Marcos Alonso remains suspended following his red card against Bayern Munich last season.
Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui will again be without forward Oussama Idrissi and centre-back Jules Kounde.
PSG Vs Man Utd: Pogba Could Win Ballon D'or – Herrera
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba "has everything" to win the Ballon d'Or in the future, says former team-mate Ander Herrera.
The Paris St-Germain midfielder is preparing to face his old club in their Champions League group game on Tuesday.
Herrera, 31, who left Old Trafford in 2019, said: "There is no other like him – one on one, box to box.
"He has everything to win the Ballon d'Or if his club fights for major trophies."
World cup winner Pogba, 27, has made four appearances in all competitions so far this season, scoring once in a 3-0 win over Brighton in the League Cup fourth round.
Herrera moved on after winning four trophies in five years at United and the Spaniard says the current side is more "mature" than the one he played in.
"There is a lot of talent, more consistent" Herrera said. "Also with [midfielder] Bruno Fernandes, they have definitely improved.
"United are progressing. They have signed the right players, I don't think they are going backwards."
The last time the sides met, in the last 16 of the Champions League in March 2019, a young United side overturned a 2-0 deficit to qualify for the quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory in Paris, which included an injury-time Marcus Rashford penalty.
Mueller's form fuels calls for Germany recall
Thomas Mueller can further fuel appeals for him to be recalled by Germany when Bayern Munich launch their Champions League defence at home to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday behind closed doors .
Having managed a record 21 assists in the Bundesliga last season, Mueller has continued his sparkling form by scoring five goals and creating four more so far in 2020 / 21 .
The 31 -year -old netted twice in a 4 -1 win at Arminia Bielefeld last Saturday when Robert Lewandowski also grabbed two goals for Bayern .
His latest eye -catching club performance has prompted fresh hopes of a Germany recall for Mueller, who was dropped by Joachim Loew from the national set -up in 2019 alongside Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels .
Now Bastian Schweinsteiger has joined fellow former Bayern and Germany players Didi Hamann and Lothar Matthaeus in calling for Mueller to be reinstated.
" If I was national coach , Mueller as well as Boateng would be in the national side , " Schweinsteiger , 36 , told Monday 's edition of German magazine Kicker.
Schweinsteiger helped win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil alongside Mueller, who knows he still has plenty to offer Germany after 100 internationals and 38 goals for ' die Mannschaft '.
" Everyone can see that I am in good form . Let' s just see what happens ," Mueller told broadcaster ZDF on Saturday , yet Loew has so far showed no signs of reversing his decision .
Last month, Mueller became the most successful German footballer of all time — surpassing Schweinsteiger 's record of 26 titles — when Bayern won the German Super Cup as he lifted a trophy for the 27 th time in his career .
After an early season plagued by tired legs and defensive wobbles, Bayern will need Mueller' s creativity against an Atletico side who have conceded just one goal in four games so far this season.
Bayern , who won their first ever European Cup against Atletico back in 1974 , will begin their Champions League defence behind closed doors.
– Kimmich return -The Bavarians have a perfect record at home against Diego Simeone 's side , having twice beaten them in Munich in 2016 .
Yet Atletico knocked Bayern out of the semi -finals in 2015 / 16 and the German side remain wary of their Spanish opponents .
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer warned that Atletico are a " strong team " who were " uncomfortable" to play against .
" The good thing is that the game is on Wednesday , so we have an extra day to prepare ," said the Bayern captain .
After having less than a month between last season's Champions League final and the first Bundesliga weekend , Bayern' s relentless schedule has continued apace .
Wednesday 's game will be their third in six days , while further Champions League fixtures against Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moscow mean Bayern have midweek and weekend games in each of the next three weeks.
The physical strain and the need to rotate has led to a few early -season hiccups .
Bayern suffered a shock 4 -1 defeat to Hoffenheim last month, and needed a late Robert Lewandowski penalty to seak a 4 – 3 win over Hertha Berlin before the international break .
On Saturday , Flick criticised his team for a poor second half performance , after individual errors led to a goal for Bielefeld and a red card for Bayern 's Corentin Tolisso .
They can ill – afford a repeat against Atletico.
Others have also noted Bayern 's lapses in concentration at the back , which has seen Neuer let in five goals in four league games so far .
Matthaeus has accused the champions of being " passive " and " vulnerable" at the back this season.
Joshua Kimmich should bring more stability to Bayern' s midfield , with the Germany midfielder expected to return after he missed last weekend ' s game to be with his wife , who is expecting the couple' s second child .
" Joshua is very important for us against Atletico. I hope he can play ," Flick told Sky .

Is it really a walk if the farthest you get is your own backyard? I say yes, yes it is. And a beautiful walk indeed when lavender and candytuft, bleeding hearts and lilac trees, are in bloom, iris are promising color soon.
Besides, my little dog doesn't like to go out to the yard alone so we stroll together across the deck, down the stairs, and onto the patio. I step gingerly into the grass to check out the blooms around the grassy area. I survey each plot of dirt, plucking "little damn-its" wherever they have sprung up since my last trip around the yard. Then I make my way up the winding paver pathway to the other set of stairs, plucking the feverfew daisies popping up between the stones. I love their tiny white flowers, but since my pup is allergic, and I love him more, I pluck each sprout resulting from the many seeds I sowed last year.
I hear a scratch at the back door. My indoor-loving cutie is ready to go in. I saunter up the short stairs to where he stands, impatiently waiting for me to open the door. The walk is over.
A spring ramble through
my lovely English garden

- Union Representative/Field Staff
Each Local 881 Union Representative is assigned to service many work locations that represent Local 881 members. They keep in close contact with Union Stewards who work alongside their fellow members. Union Representatives have a wide range of responsibilities, including: meeting with members to answer questions, investigating contract violations, filing grievances, and enforcing your contract. In addition, the Representative distributes the latest printed materials, checks schedules, and frequently conducts an audit to assure that designated new employees have applied for Union membership.
Office day for the field staff is scheduled on Wednesdays, but you may leave a voicemail at any time for your Union Representative and he or she will return your call. At the Des Plaines office, the In-House Union Representative is available every weekday during normal business hours to answer any of your questions. Members phoning the Edwardsville, Marion, and Springfield offices may leave a message for their Union Representative, which will be promptly returned.

- Accounting
The Accounting Department assists the Secretary-Treasurer and maintains all records related to Local 881's finances. The department is staffed by experienced professionals in accounting and directed by a CPA (Certified Public Accountant).
- Collective Bargaining
This department assists the President in negotiating contracts between the Union and your employer on behalf of Local 881 members. Wages, benefits, working conditions, and vacation time are just some of the contractual issues that are negotiated. Collective bargaining is a broad process that entails negotiating terms that are in the best interests of the members throughout the term of the contract. Local 881's 36,000 members work under about 120 different contracts.
You can find most recent contract updates here.
- Communications
The Communications Department is responsible for helping to keep members informed through flyers, publications, and the website. This department produces the bi-monthly 881 Progress membership publication; plans special events and educational seminars; coordinates the layout, printing, and mailing of contracts; creates flyers and brochures on benefits; schedules meetings; charitable endeavors; scholarships; and more. In addition, Communications handles all public relations and media inquiries, photography, and a diverse range of other efforts that keep Local 881 members up-to-date about their Union.
- Data Processing and Membership Records
Local 881's Data Processing Department is responsible for all matters involving Membership Records. All questions regarding withdrawal, Union dues, applications for membership, and related items should be directed to this department.

If you need an application for a name change, you can obtain one from your Union Representative, employer, or by contacting the nearest Local 881 office.
Attention New Members: Submitting your membership application to Data Processing immediately after being hired ensures that your application will be processed with the Union in a timely manner.
- Organizing
The Organizing Department oversees all Local 881 organizing campaigns. The job of the Organizing staff is to talk with non-union workers, understand their concerns, and educate them about the benefits and objectives of Union membership. Staff members concentrate on bringing non-union workers together to work toward their common goal of obtaining Union representation and fair working conditions. In addition, Local 881's Organizing Department works with other Unions as well as community and religious organizations to help improve the working conditions for all workers.
For more information visit here.
- Legislative and Political
Local 881 is involved in the legislative and political processes to protect and enhance workers' rights. Many of the job protections gained through the collective bargaining process can either be taken away or strengthened through the legislative process. Local 881's Legislative and Political Department works with local, state, and federal elected officials on your behalf. Political action by your Union has led to improvements in laws affecting workers such as workers' compensation, minimum wage, family and medical leave, 40-hour work week, and safer working conditions.

Atlanta's own Cover Your Tracks will be playing Carolina Rebellion this year, bringing their brand of rock to the stage in Concord. The band's latest album, Fever Dream, was released in September under Epitaph Records. This morning I took a peek at the video from one of the singles off the album, "Cages".
The video features the band rocking a packed show. As the band powers through the chorus, the lyrics speak to the artificial divisions separating us from each other – and our true selves. The band puts on a high-energy show, with guitars blasting powerful chords, the vocals are familiar and blend in with the guitars like butter on an English muffin.
The song is catchy in that it is easy to sing to. It is one of those tracks that uses a metaphor so well, that layers of meaning ooze from it each time you run through the lyrics in your head. For those less inclined to ponder metaphors about invisible enclosures, there are the guitars, luscious and electric.

Our newly developed CARE program is a family-centered initiative designed to provide holistic support and intervention, through targeted and consistent mentorship and peer-support, for under-served children and caregivers who have been affected by familial incarceration.
The program focuses on providing family members with a safe space to build and nurture their relationships with each other, peers with similar experiences, and their community-at-large. Following a needs assessment and program evaluation of our Family Visitation and Peer Mentorship programs, CARE was built from the ground up to meet the unique needs of caregivers of children with a parent involved in the justice system and their children; CARE is currently the only program in Toronto providing this level of comprehensive familial support.
The weekly program runs every Tuesday from 6:00-9:00pm at
Driftwood Community Recreation Centre (4401 Jane St.) and includes:
The program is 100% free, child-minding is provided on-site, and tokens are available for those in need.
If you are caring for a child with a parent who is currently involved in the justice system in any way,
please contact Jessica Reid at 647-627-1171 or email@example.com for more information and to register!

The roles and responsibilities of a good carpenter
Here at Leicester carpentry, we're experts in a whole host of carpentry and joinery tasks. From windows and doors to bespoke furniture, we've got it covered. But when you hire a carpenter for a job or project, there are many things going on behind the scenes that you may not be aware of.
When it comes to delivering impressive results, there's a checklist of items that may not necessarily have crossed your mind. To give you a better idea of the standards our dedicated team work to, we've compiled a run-down of a carpenters' roles which may not be aware of.
Recommending the perfect materials
Some customers have a clear idea of their project from the outset, but often a carpenter's clients will look to them for recommendations. This is where a vast experience of projects and materials can prove very handy. When it comes to wooden framed windows or other home fittings (such a UPVC), a good carpenter can assess the requirements of the build, the desired aesthetic of the outcome, and of course the customer's budget, to suggest the ideal solution. By finding the perfect type of wood to match both your tastes and your finances, your carpenter will save you both time and money in the long run.
Ensuring health and safety
An extensive knowledge of health and safety – and not just for their own benefit – is essential to any carpenter. When working at a client's home, it's important to be aware of residents, visitors, and especially children who may be occupying the same space. In most cases, a carpenter will request their own space to complete a task, but will still have a responsibility to maintain electrical safety and keep dangerous tools monitored at all times. To ensure minimal disruption, a professional carpenter will always have a dedicated workshop where the bulk of the work can be done, before any necessary fittings go ahead.
Choosing the right tools
If work is being carried out at a client's home or workplace, a good carpenter can assess the requirements upfront, and arrive for work armed with the right tools for the job. This is another element of the profession where past experience is beneficial, providing a carpenter with the insight needed to complete a task as quickly and as possible. Multiple trips to the workshop would only serve to delay completion, and any professional carpenter prides themselves on efficiency.
Quality inspections
Professional craftsmanship means complete end-to-end service. Whether providing a piece of furniture or a whole new house, a professional carpenter will carry out a thorough inspection of their work following completion.
Here at Leicester carpentry and joinery, we have over 25 years of experience across a huge range of products and services. This includes bespoke home and office furniture, bedroom and kitchen design, door and window fittings, porches, conservatories, and even whole new buildings. We source only the highest quality materials, complete most work from our dedicated workshop, and can tailor any product to meet your specific needs, as well as offer expert suggestions where required.
If you'd like to discuss a project idea, arrange a home visit for a quote, or have any other queries relation to carpentry and joinery services, then please contact our professional team today.This entry was posted in carpentry, Listed Buildings, News, wooden-windows. Bookmark the permalink.

Expanding Influence #PR #socialmedia
|Source: Screenshot of Google Image Search Results on term: press release
Getting press releases, requests from people you don't know to write a blog entry about something you know little about? You're not alone. Here's one I just received yesterday from an iPad app developer:
Hi. My name is Kyle Tomson, I'm the president of Mobile Education Store. We are developers of special needs language apps. Our apps have won quite a few awards are are pretty well though of in the SN and SLP communities. I heard about your blog at the ISTE conference I just attended and wanted to reach out to you. If you go to my website,www.mobile-That's the second email I've received from this particular developer. And, of course, I also get a slew of these--most go into my virtual Trash can, as well as get added to my filter--"For Immediate Release:"
educationstore.com, you can read about us and our apps. I also have video tutorials of most of my apps available. If you are interested in investigating any of them further, I would be happy to provide you with promo codes. I look forward to hearing from you!
Wow, come on. Stop it folks! How hard is it to figure out that unless it's educational leadership, technology, free open source, I could care less about the appointment of Kelly Mack, no matter how wonderful s/he is?
And, I've seen a lot of edublogs that post press releases, reinterpreted in a personal way. I'll spare those folks the embarrassment of sharing how they get their content.
When you're a blogger, you're hungry for content to share. Recycling press releases is one way, though not the best way. I like this diagram from Personalize Media...
I can't remember the definition but it breaks out like this...and I'm remixing a bit here. Read the original.
My diagram above takes a different view. Anyone and everyone can have significant influence in the social network, [regardless of what role you play...below is Miguel's interpretation of the roles with original text broken up].PR in the past has been targeted for passive consumers, but I agree with Christie (quoted below) who says that more meaningful contact can be had if a little more time is spent preparing something for the critics and editors. And, should PR specialists target just these two groups and forget about the rest, trusting that their chosen critics and editors will get the word out there?
Sharers: You simply share a video or link with a friend or
Creators: Create one from scratch. Each makes a statement and you are influencing.
Critics: People who have more influence are commenters than by simply creating. Your comment can spark more comments and draw attention to the created work.
Consumers: passive watchers/readers
Editors: those who will take content and 'modify it' before presenting it.
Also the potential 'level' of influence of each group is indicated in the right triangle, and one would imagine a focused blog post or moving YouTube video would have more influence - but as I said before if enough people rate it highly the actual influence is generated by the community, not by the original piece.
PR spam is a growing pain in the rear for all bloggers...and few PR firms and companies follow the advice shared here, advice that I've shared in various forms with folks who've emailed me their press releases. Quite a few have turned into nothing more than unsolicited (junk) email to write about their product.
Christie Goodman (San Antonio Byline Blog) writes:
Have you heard of the term PR spam? It's the practice of blasting out news releases or pitches to lists of contacts with no attempt at tailoring pitches or even verifying that the recipients might be the least bit interested in the content....because of the ease of sending e-mails, the volume of PR spam is growing exponentially. While reporters have mostly tolerated our bad and lazy behavior, bloggers aren't so willing. We've seen them lately ranting online about it, blocking PR spam e-mail domains and publishing the names or domains of offenders.Are you getting Public Relations (PR) spam emails? I bet you are but maybe you're thinking you're one of the privileged few, one of the chosen ones especially selected to serve as the messenger to the world. This past week, I received this one:
So, rather than the story becoming in the story, the mis-pitch becomes the story. Of course, many of these spammers are people doing public relations work without any public relations expertise. I wish that was the whole problem. The fact is, many large and small PR firms have been called out. That leaves us with several questions, like: How are we training our PR staff? How are we holding ourselves accountable? How are we measuring media relations success?
First allow me to introduce myself: My name is Chris Thilk and I work for MWW Group, a public relations firm. One of our clients here is Samsung and it's on their behalf that I'm dropping you a line today. Samsung is once again kicking off their Hope for Education program to award a school over $200,000 worth of technology.Wow, that sure seems like a great opportunity, doesn't it? Let's find out some more...here's the rest of his email:
From the site: "Each year, Samsung's Hope for Education holds a contest where students from schools nationwide can write a 100-word essay about how technology benefits and helps education. In 2008, the top winner receives a grand prize of over $200,000 worth of Samsung technology, Microsoft software and cash grants from DIRECTV, as well as the SCHOOL CHOICE® educational television programming package. Entries are open now. Contest will run until August 31, 2008."
Here's the link to the official site: http://pages.samsung.com/us/hopeforeducation/index.html
And this year in addition to a MySpace page (not included here for fear of being banned)
there's also a Facebook Fan Page people can add (link not included here)
We're really trying to get more people than ever to submit entries so if you think this is something you'd be interested in mentioning it would be greatly appreciated. I thought, considering your focus on the intersection of technology and education – and the proper usage or tech in the classroom – this might be up your alley.
Let me know if there are any questions you might have.So, does this meet Christie's criteria? Let's see if I can derive the criteria from Christie's post:
Best, --Chris
- Is this PR announcement within my blog area of interest?
- Is this PR email relevant to my audience?
- Is the author of the email just sending this to a bunch of people--how would I know, except to share it here and find out if you receive an identical email?--or have I been specially targeted?
What other accountability criteria should there be? I'm not a PR guy, but reading some PR blogs/wikis (e.g. MetricsMan) makes me an insta-expert:
Measurable objectives:
Increase awareness of Hope for Education from 15 to 25% in the next 3 months.
Enhance visibility of Hope for Education among online educational technologists and edubloggers audienc
Email prominent (ah, flatter yourself) edubloggers and kindly ask them to write about this in their blogs.
In the meantime, maybe it's time the rest of turned into participatory spammers...you know, critics of PR spams/products we receive. Thoughts?

So, per suggestions from many of my family and friends, this post is all about my little lord, Tuggs! And not just the fact that my pup is adorable and goofy—which he obviously is—but rather about a new thing I wanted to try this year. Homemade Dog Treats.
Normally, a special SPECIAL treat involves going to a pet boutique and letting the puppers sniff out something yummy by his standards, maybe not by ours. One of his favorites is a beef tendon (these look a little laffy taffy-esque) and beef trachea (yes, you read that right, trachea). It sounds gross, looks gross, and honestly feels gross, but he loves them, and they're good for cleaning his teeth and supporting his joints (which for small legged dogs, that's really important). Plus, they're natural, so spending a couple extra bucks on something that makes him happy and keeps him healthy seems well worth it to me!
If you're not sure where to find these delightfully disgusting looking treats, try your nearest pet boutique (a commercial pet store should have something, but I know I'll find what I need every time at a boutique and simply put, I like to support my small local businesses too). If you're in Chicago Ravenswood/Lincoln Square area (or there abouts), here are some of my favorite places:
- Ruff Haus Pets (Love the service here!)
- Fido To Go (TREAT STORE ON WHEELS! LOVE THEM! They are usually in Lincoln Square on Sundays if the weather is nice, but you can message them to find out where they are!)
- 4 Legs (They have tiny little pupcakes near their register, which Tuggs found utterly declicious!)
- Bentley's Pet Stuff (Adorable store! And they have a location up in Skokie!)
- Jameson Loves Danger (Tuggs got his newest bone from here on a lunch date with Dad, and boy oh boy was he the happiest!)
Now, for the experiments at hand: the treats! Now, dogs are known to not have the best smelling breath, and since Tuggs seems to like everything human grade (that is also dog-safe of course) I thought I would try a breath freshener that was also very scrumptious and good for him! Parsley: in small doses, parsley provides great antioxidants & vitamins, and can help with settling an upset stomach. Mint: also in small doses, mint is a reducer of many troublesome tummy issues like gas, nausea, travel sickness (AND, for animals undergoing chemo, it can help reduce radiation-induced sickness and mortality! It's a super herb!). Together, bad breath be gone! Add a little plain yogurt (I used low-fat), freeze in paw shaped silicone molds, and you have a treat that gets the little wiggle butt moving!
Frozen Mint Dog Treats from 12Tomatoes
The other treats I decided to try were no-bake peanut butter treats from Damn Delicious blogger, Chungah, who is also a fellow corgi owner! Boy oh BOY was Tuggs ever talkative while I was making these! He's too smart for his own good and knows that when I go into the bottom cupboard, it means only one thing: Peanut Butter time! And these were way too easy to make to not make them again! Just remember, DO NOT get pumpkin pie filling!
Note: I got totally lost and confused looking for pumpkin puree in my grocery store, simply because I have never bought canned pumpkin before. Your canned pumpkin will be in the baking isle, underneath the pre-made graham cracker pie crust tins. Your store may also have organic pumpkin, which was what I purchased.
And these were just as easy to make, and my pup couldn't handle the smell of peanut butter, jumping and whimpering around my feet. I couldn't help myself, and gave him a little lick off the ol' beater, like my mom used share a beater with me whenever she made cookies when I was a little girl. It was kind of adorable. I will say, I needed just a little more than 1/2 a cup of oats, but that's an easy fix by just adding a little more. See the link below if you want to try it out on your own pooch!

SANTIAGO, Sept 3, 2011 (AFP) - All 21 people aboard the Chilean air force plane that crashed into the Pacific on its way to a remote archipelago died instantaneously, the defense minister said Saturday.
"Based on observations and the search we carried out with the air force commander, we have reached the conclusion that the impact was such that it should have resulted in the instantaneous death of all of those who were aboard the aircraft," Defense Minister Andres Allamand told reporters.
|AFP - Chileans light candles in homage to Chilean TV host Felipe Camiroaga, outside the National Television headquarters in Santiago on September 3, 2011.
A major search operation had been launched late Friday in the waters around Robinson Crusoe island in the Juan Fernandez islands, some 700 kilometers (435 miles) west of the South American coastline, and some debris from the missing plane has been located in the sea.
So far, only four bodies have been recovered.
"We have found two female bodies and two male bodies; in none of the cases have they been identified," said air force chief Maximiliano Larraechea.
As Chile's navy and air force headed the search, fishermen in their boats left the archipelago early Saturday in the hope of turning up survivors.
Allamand said the plane, a turboprop-powered Casa 212, made two attempts to land on the main island but failed, "after which contact was lost."
Strong winds were being blamed for causing the light aircraft to be blown off course, but it was unclear what had definitively caused the crash.
The air force earlier said that as the aircraft was "getting closer to the island, radio communication with the plane was lost," prompting the launch of the search effort.
Government spokesman Andres Chadwick said the bodies identified were those of Erwin Nunez, an air force corporal; Galia Diaz, with the National Cultural Council; Roberto Bruce, a TVN network journalist; and Silvia Slager, a TVN producer.
Among those whose bodies were not yet found were popular Chilean television host Felipe Camiroaga, who was part of a TVN crew heading to the archipelago to report on reconstruction efforts following a huge February 2010 earthquake and tsunami.
Tributes poured in from across South America for the victims.
Pope Benedict XVI said he was "deeply saddened" to learn of the accident, in a message relayed by the archbishop of Santiago, Ricardo Ezzati.

The theme for 2019 is L2J: Lead like Jesus and this will be a great time to get away, be encouraged and get ready to lead from your faith in the days to come.
Feel free to contact Mari Jaquith (event director- email) for more information, details, and/or clarifications. Also, spend some time on this site going through previous posts to catch a flavor of the event in video wrap-up style.

The men were arrested on the Pacific coast where the criminal group moves drugs from Colombia to the United States by go-fast and semi-submersible. The Rastrojos operate throughout the country, buying coca base and cocaine from rebel groups and other intermediaries. They co-opt members of the navy and other security forces to allow for safe passage of their product.

How to Prune Pittosporum
Pittosporum (Pittosporum spp.) is a versatile broadleaf evergreen shrub for the home garden, capable of filling many needs. From compact, dwarf varieties to shrubs growing up to 40 feet tall, pittosporum can be used as a specimen plant, part of a foundation planting, as a hedge or a screen. Preferring the mild- to warm-weather climates of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 12, pittosporum grows in fertile, well-drained loam or sandy soil with an acidic to neutral pH level. Salt tolerant, pittosporum grows near the coast and in other beach locations. Prune in early spring.
Remove wayward or weak branches with cuts made a quarter inch from the point of origin on the main branch or trunk. Use hand loppers or garden clippers, depending upon the size of the branch. Avoid cutting too close to the point of origin, which can remove some of the bark and cause injury.
Remove dead or diseased wood by pruning the entire branch back to its point of origin or to healthy, disease-free growth. Make cuts a quarter inch from the point of origin or a quarter inch from an outward facing node on a healthy branch.
Head back main branches to control the size of your pittosporum. Make cuts a quarter inch from an outward facing branch.
Shear off one-half of the new growth in the spring. Do this in years one and two following planting of your hedge.
Begin hedge shaping in year three. Leave the hedge base wider than the top to allow good sunlight penetration, with the sides sloping from top to bottom.
Trim your hedge closely after it reaches the desired height and width.
Develop a strong framework for your multi-stem tree by removing stems growing closer than 4 to 6 inches apart.
Begin to shape your 5-foot-tall pittosporum into tree form by removing all basal suckers. Cut each sucker back to within a quarter inch of the trunk.
Remove all lower branches on your pittosporum, making cuts a quarter inch from the trunk stem and leaving lateral branches on the top 2 feet of growth on a 5-foot-tall shrub.
Remove crossing or weak branches from the tree canopy.
Clip off suckers from your multi-stem tree in the fall each year to keep the trunk stems bare.
Continue to remove lateral branches from the trunk stems as your tree grows taller until your tree has the desired size and proportion of canopy to trunk.

Emmanuel Eboue has targeted a return to Arsenal eight months after being released by Galatasaray.
Eboue enjoyed six years at Arsenal since joining in 2005, almost epitomising the club's barren spell of trophies before his departure for Galatasaray in 2011.
The right-back was a first-team fixture in Turkey for his first two seasons, but fell out of favour with head coach Cesare Prandelli, before being released at the end of last season.
Eboue has blamed Italian boss Prandelli for his struggles in Turkey.
"I came back for training and was told I would not be playing," he told The Sun. "The president told the manager at the time not to pick me. The way I was treated was very unfair."
Now a free agent, Eboue, 32, says that he is eyeing a reunion with Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium.
He said: "We are looking for options but I'd love to come back to Arsenal."
Of course you bloody would.

Manufacturing & Millennial Barometer Reading: High and Rising
Right at the end of 2014, I received a copy of report based on ThomasNet's Industry Market Barometer (IMB) survey. As you might expect, given ThomasNet's long-standing relationship with the manufacturing community, a large focus of the report was the recent trend towards reshoring. In some cases it is for the sake of moving final production closer to the source of demand, in others to shorten supply chains, trading cheap labor for reliability and agility.
Of the 490 survey respondents, the overwhelming majority of which are SMB's, 63% expected to grow in 2014. The greatest potential impediment to that growth is a serious shortage of workers available and interested in openings and careers in manufacturing. As the baby boomer generation prepares to leave the workplace, a generation with an equally unique identity – the Millennials – prepares to move in. And therein lies the problem. Right now, the relationship between manufacturing companies and Millennials is cold and rocky at best.
Manufacturing companies seem less likely than other industries to hold the chipper opinion that Millennials are to be revered for their fresh ideas, native adoption of technology, and broad mindedness about virtual workplaces and environmental sustainability. As stated in the IMB report, "Forty-three percent of respondents believe that this generation [Milliennials] lacks the work ethic and discipline to succeed." That is certainly not a glowing endorsement.
Sadly, the dislike seems to be mutual. According to a recent article run in the Portland Press Herald, "the pool of potential recruits is limited by the mistaken impression that manufacturing means doing dirty jobs in dirty places." For a generation as image conscious as the Millennials, manufacturing just does not fit into their ideal career scenario.
Ironically, the trouble plaguing both sides of the manufacturing/Millennial divide is that their positions are based more on perception than fact, and they contain more than a few broad generalizations. It may be that these two groups have more in common than they realize. And if they can get past their distaste for each other, they may just find an opportunity for mutual fulfillment and success.
Manufacturing is no longer the grueling, dirty shift work it used to be. Many operations are highly automated, and rely heavily on robotics and software to get the job done. The use of mobile devices and apps are on the rise, and although manufacturing lags other industries in their use of this newer technology, the potential is there. This is an opportunity being watched by industry experts such as Shahrukh Irani, associate professor of integrated systems engineering at Ohio State University. "Mobile apps could be a potential game-changer for the way small and midsize high-mix, low-volume operations facilitate lean manufacturing," Irani said to Industry Week. And once manufacturers prioritize the adoption of mobile technology on the plant floor, Millennials may get the opportunity to lead the transition.
Millennials have been held back by the negative perceptions of others as well. Workplace expert Dan Schawbel discussed some of their 'workplace wants' with Time Magazine last year, "Millennials tend to seek flexible work schedules so that they can deliver value to their employers whenever duty calls, while at the same time flex schedules hopefully give them time to fit in personal activities they enjoy. They seek companies that will enable them to work remotely so they can blend personal activities during the day, not just during the night or on weekends." For anyone who has ever had to fight for a job, holding out for such a flexible arrangement seems immature. And yet, it doesn't need to be a deal killer. It certainly depends upon the schedule of each manufacturing operation, but having the option to work a traditional second shift does present an alternative to the 9 to 5 routine.
One thing is clear, both manufacturing and Millennials will benefit from keeping an open mind about each other. If they can overcome their differences the potential gains for both are huge. It also presents the opportunity for them to join forces and make a significant positive impact on the U.S. economy, enabling the growth that the manufacturing industry is poised to achieve if they can keep each operation properly staffed.

Millennials are leaving indelible footprints on the marketplace. They are eclipsing Baby Boomers in numbers and importance. As a demographic group, Millennials (27 percent of the population) are more numerous than Boomers and are projected to outnumber non-Millennials by 2030. Their estimated $1.3 trillion in current consumer spending is only expected to increase as well. That's a whole lot of purchasing power. As Millennials mature, many of their tastes and behaviors can be seen as a foreshadowing of what's coming in consumer consumption. As The Hartman Group's new Outlook on the Millennial Consumer 2014 report details, this generation has become a reliable barometer for the future of food culture.

Our family members who first ventured here may have brought nothing in their suitcases, but they brought everything in their spirit. As a result, being Italian isn't a state of fact; it's become a way of life.
As time passes, many of us grow further and further removed from those first generation ancestors; and yet, whether our blood is one half, quarter, or even sixteenth Italian today, we still live as full Italian: Family is our foundation and generosity our privilege. We care for others and take pride in creating a sense of community.
As members of ISDA, we represent the very spirit of those first few immigrants, a spirit that has grown through the years and now spans across the 50 states. Together, as sons and daughters, we keep the torch burning. We preserve the values our parents and grandparents bestowed us with, we celebrate our wonderful culture, and we continue the special traditions passed on to us. Together, we live Italian.

As many of you know I have been working to put together a series of articles about the health care reform we seem to have government ramming down our throat whether we like it or not. It is a tough series to do as there is so much to read and so many different ways I could tackle the subject. As some of the parts to the series I have decided I am going to research as best I can and answer questions about the reform ideas that are out there and what is actually in the bill. To that end, I need a little help from all of you over the next couple of days.
What I would like you all to do is to respond and let me know what you want me to research. What are the questions around this health care reform plan that are important. Some ideas I was thinking about included:
Is the system setting up a single payer system? What is a single payer system? Could a single payer system come as a result of this legislation?
Does the bill contain health care for illegal immigrants?
Does the bill include paying for abortions?
What is the deal with the end of life counseling and the "death panels"?
Will private companies be forced out?
Will we have any choices available under this bill? Can we choose out own doctors and courses of treatment?
Is tort reform the real answer?
These are just a few quick ideas I had as I thought about this today. So fire away! What questions do you want a real and researched answer on in terms of this health care reform? Nothing is off limits so let me know what I need to start researching better for the series. I am planning on starting to present the series next week.

When using a white marble table with white dining chairs, be sure you have something to make a contrast with. In this case, a dark blue wall made the trick. It will create space for the dining table to get a spotlight.
Brownish marble is just incredibly rare and beautiful. Brings a piece of uniqueness to the dining area design and goes well with wooden furniture, as well as black, grey or white chairs and accessories.
Smooth decor like the one above creates a feeling of freshness and looks very clean. A round dining table made of white marble is super trendy and modern and it goes perfectly with a scandinavian style furniture.
This tall black marble dining table is just stunning and trendy. When the top of the table has too many patterns like this, you must let them shine and get the attention the marble deserves, so opt for simple neutral dining chairs.
Brown marble is personally my favourite. On this dining room we get a look of how you can use all types of fine materials and make the room look really sophisticated. Leather and wooden chairs with a brown marble table looks perfect.

People often tend to think that a marble table is just about marble on top and then a metallic or wooden base. However, it can be all made of this luxury stone, and look really nice and elegant on your dining area.
This table is just a stunning piece of design and it required some more attention to detail and creativity. Brown lines bring a more modern look it is well balanced with the leather chairs.
With a different coloured base, this dining table is just marvellous. A dark base on the table and dark chairs allow the white marble top to shine.
This piece is just incredible. Actually, the entire room design is just marvellous and super trendy and elegant. You can always add some greens and colourful bowls as a centerpiece so you can give life to the room.
This room is so contemporary and perfect. With a metal base, there is space to appreciate the glamour of the table top.

CT Economist: No Recession Lurking
Hartford Business.Com
March 22, 2018
By Gregory Seay
The prospect for Connecticut's and the U.S. economies lapsing into recession anytime soon are remote, but new trade tariffs, a jittery stock market, plus this state's stubborn job recovery and population loss, could impact both down the road, an economist says.
"The good news: A U.S. recession is still unlikely over the near term,'' said New Haven economist Don Klepper-Smith, who is an adviser to Farmington Bank, noting the current recovery is into its ninth year.
Addressing a remote webinar audience Wednesday during Farmington Bank's quarterly economic outlook, the chief economist at DataCore Partners LLC said he expects a modest U.S. recovery to continue at least through the first half of this year.
"The bottom line is the odds of a recession over the next 18 months is one in three,'' Klepper-Smith said.
Regaining jobs back to top
He pointed to Connecticut's sluggish efforts to regain the 119,000 jobs it lost in the Great Recession, 2008-2009. So far, based on state labor department unemployment and job-growth data as of January, Connecticut has regained just 77 percent of those lost jobs, the economist said. By comparison, most other New England states have recovered at least all of their lost jobs, with several regaining double and triple their jobs deficits.
Connecticut's slow job growth, combined with a rollicking stock market that at times has many feeling less wealthy, and slow overall gains in take-home pay, Klepper-Smith said, are ganging up to make consumers less confident about their own finances, let alone the economy.
The result, he said, is that Farmington Bank's "business barometer,'' which tracks employment, consumer spending and related indices, has turned negative.
"Consumers really have a difficult time feeling this is a recovery,'' Klepper-Smith said.
For the rest of this year, he said he expects inflation to stay close to the 2017 rate of 2.1 percent. The 30-year mortgage rate, despite expectations for the Federal Reserve to hike the discount rate at least three times this year, starting as early as Wednesday, will end this year at around 4.25 percent to 4.5 percent.
