Cordelra Harris joined a gang in his late teens because he wanted to be a leader. He got his wish, quickly rising to a top position in a local gang. He sold drugs, but he also developed a big-brother relationship with the gang's younger members.
"Some of the little kids were 16 or 17 years old, and they were looking for love. I was looking to give love, but I was giving love in the wrong way," said Cordelra, seated next to his wife Charkevia in their apartment in Hickory Hill.
It took getting shot in the face at age 20 for Cordelra to realize he was on the wrong path. Today, the 22-year-old is legally blind in his right eye as a result of the shooting. But other than that, his life is running pretty smoothly.
Cordelra left the gang after the shooting. He married Charkevia last April, and the couple proudly displays their framed marriage certificate on an end table in their modest living room. He's working on getting his GED, and he's launching a ministry to help teens stay away from gangs. But he admits he couldn't have made so much progress without a little help.
Both Cordelra and Charkevia are enrolled in Youth Villages' Transitional Living program, which pairs troubled youth and former foster kids with a counselor to help guide them into adulthood. Many participants in the program, ranging between age 17 and 22, have aged out of the foster care system.
Others, like Cordelra and Charkevia, joined Transitional Living because, although they were never in foster care, they have troubled pasts that may have involved abusive or negligent parents or, in Cordelra's case, were caught up in gangs.
"They don't have the typical experience of a 17- or 18-year-old who is living with their parents. They don't have a person they can call for help," said Kristin Landers, clinical program manager for the Transitional Living program.
Charkevia, 20, said she moved in with Cordelra when she was 19 years old to escape an abusive parent. Charkevia wasn't taught basic life skills at home. Since she's been in the Transitional Living program, she's learned how to live on her own.
"My Transitional Living specialist has helped me with so much that a grown-up should know. I learned how to grocery shop, and she's helped us budget medical bills for Cordelra," Charkevia said. "She helped us buy a car and furniture and open up bank accounts. Now we're trying to get Cordelra's GED."
Cordelra's disability has made the GED process a little challenging. He can't see well enough to read, so his Transitional Living specialist, Chad Hannaford, is helping him make arrangements to take the test orally.
On any given day, there's an average of 130 local young adults enrolled in the Transitional Living program. Each are assigned a counselor, called a Transitional Living specialist, who meets with them once a week to assist them in everything from getting an apartment or a job to helping them enroll in college.
The most extensive study of former foster kids to date looked at 602 youths in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin in 2010. The results: Only half of them were employed by their mid-20s, and six in 10 men had been convicted of a crime. Three out of every four women were receiving public assistance.
By contrast, 81 percent of the Transitional Living participants are employed, in school, or have graduated from school two years post-discharge. Seventy-five percent have had no involvement with the law.
"[Without this program], they would probably be on welfare or public housing assistance," said Youth Villages CEO Pat Lawler. "I doubt many would have finished high school, and they'd be in minimum wage jobs."
Making the Transition
On a cold Friday morning in February, LaQuita Thomas and her specialist Lydia Dunlap meet to discuss how to find an apartment. Thomas, 20, a former foster kid who is temporarily living with her grandmother in Frayser, has been given until the end of the month to find a job and move out on her own.
Dunlap is armed with sample leases, worksheets on apartment-finding basics, and a list of affordable units in Midtown. She quizzes Thomas on what qualities she's looking for in her first apartment.
"Would you rather live alone or with a roommate?" Dunlap asks.
"Alone," Thomas says matter-of-factly.
"In a small two-bedroom or a large one-bedroom?"
"Large one-bedroom."
"More closet space or more cabinet space?"
"I know, girl. I've seen your shoe collection," says Dunlap, laughing. "This girl has more shoes than anybody I've ever seen."
They go over the basics, such as security deposits, lease requirements, and rules regarding pets. (Thomas wants a cat.) At the end of the one-hour session, Dunlap hands Thomas a list of apartments, and they discuss how Thomas will be able to afford to move.
Thomas was placed into foster care at age 4 when the Department of Children's Services took her and her brothers away from their drug-addicted mother.
"I ended up in foster care, and I stayed there until I was 18," Thomas said.
In Tennessee, kids in foster care must leave their foster homes by age 18, unless they're working or attending school.
"A lot of times, the young people we help have trouble meeting those criteria," said Connie Mills, manager of public relations for Youth Villages. "They're going to fall through the cracks if somebody doesn't do something."
That "something" can be anything from helping the young adult find housing or jobs to helping them enroll in higher education. Each specialist is assigned a maximum of eight young people, and the job varies according to that client's dreams and goals. Some kids just want to finish high school and others dream of getting their master's degree.
"When we have a young person come to us, we start with an assessment. We look at all areas of that young person's life. We look at support. We look at housing. We look at employment, education, every area," Kristen Landers said. "We ask them up front what is most important to them, and then we put together a plan to reach those goals."
Although the specialist is there for support and advice, Landers is quick to point out that nothing is given for free.
"We don't put a child in an apartment and start giving them things. We set it up so they can learn to do those things on their own," Landers said. "A lot of our young people at age 18 are very tired of having another social worker or another counselor, so we come to it from a standpoint of 'What do you want?' rather than 'Here's what you're going to do next.'"
For 19-year-old Bridget Banks, that meant enrolling in culinary training. A teacher referred Banks to Transitional Living when she was in high school. At the time, she was living with her sister, who often left young Banks alone to raise that sister's nine kids. She tried moving out on her own into an apartment complex in Whitehaven, but management kicked her out after she was involved in a fight at the complex.
"Transitional Living has helped make me a better person. It's helped me get independent, and now I'm focused on everything I need to do. I have high self-esteem now," Banks said.
Julia Dunn, Banks' specialist, helped her enroll in a culinary arts program. She did her externship at Central BBQ and ended up getting hired full-time.
Since youth can join the program at age 18, a handful are still in high school. "Mark Smith," a 19-year-old senior at a South Memphis high school who asked not to reveal his real name, joined the Transitional Living program with dreams of becoming a history teacher. His specialist is helping him study for the ACT, and he's learning basic adult skills, like managing money and building a credit history.
The Department of Children's Services took Smith away from his family because he and his siblings were being neglected. Besides not having a supportive family, Smith has an additional challenge: He suffers from cerebral palsy. Yet the charismatic senior still walks about a mile from his apartment to school each day.
"Without Transitional Living, my life would just be haywire," Smith said. "I wouldn't have the mindset I have now about going into the real world. I would just be going to buy clothes and things I don't need. My specialist taught me to budget my money, you know, to buy one pair of jeans instead of several."
It's not uncommon for youth in the Transitional Living program to have kids of their own. Michelle Morgan, 18, has a 1-year-old son, and she balances parenting duties with college at the University of Memphis and a job at Subway. Morgan's specialist, Erica Summers, not only helped her learn to balance her budget, but she also helped her find affordable child care.
"I know I could do all of this stuff on my own, but it's nice to have the extra support," Morgan said. "With me being in school and having a job and a kid, that's a lot of time I don't have to look for resources to help me out."
Morgan was placed into foster care when she was 16 years old, after she and her sister escaped their abusive father in Clarksville, Tennessee.
"For as long as I can remember, my dad was abusive. He had alcohol problems. He would go to the bar and come home at two or three in the morning and wake everyone up and be abusive," Morgan said.
When her sister confessed to her that their father had been raping her for five years, Morgan packed their bags and they escaped out of a window when he was asleep. They ran to a neighbor's house, where they called the police. She went into foster care in Smyrna, Tennessee, but she was eventually placed back into her birth mother's care in Memphis.
Now Morgan, who got married in January, lives with her husband's mother. She's not sure what she wants to do career-wise, so her college major is still undecided. But Summers is helping her narrow down her choices.
"We've been doing some career-interest inventories to find out what she'd like to do in school," Summers said. "And we're going over study skills and looking into ways to help her better manage her time because she has so many responsibilities."
Other Transitional Living youth know exactly what they want in life, but they just need a little help getting there. Bianca Christian, 20, is studying psychology at the University of Memphis with plans to become a child psychologist. Her specialist helped her apply for financial aid, enroll in school, and find child care for her 10-month-old son.
Christian and four of her siblings were taken from their family in 2008 after suffering from abuse and neglect.
"My mom was very mentally, verbally, and physically abusive. She was mean for no reason," Christian said. "We ended up being moved out after a physical incident where she actually jumped on me."
She and her siblings were placed into a foster home, an event that Christian calls "the best thing that ever happened to us." She still maintains contact with her foster family, whom she lovingly refers to as "Grandma" and "Grandpa." After she moved out of her foster home at age 18, she enrolled in Transitional Living.
"When I meet with my specialist, we go over employment and time management, which is something I need help with since I'm a mom. I'm trying to make sure I have all my school work done on time," Christian said.
Without Transitional Living, Christian said she'd be facing her obstacles alone.
"Besides my old foster parents, it's just me. Having Youth Villages and the Transitional Living program is very helpful, because I have someone I can talk to," Christian said. "I have someone behind me to support me. They're like an extra family."
Out on Their Own
Since 1986, Youth Villages has served more than 66,000 children with emotional, behavioral, and mental health issues, first through their Memphis Boys Town and Dogwood Village residential facilities and later through in-home counseling with struggling families to prevent kids from ending up in the foster care system. They also pair foster children with families and facilitate adoptions.
Founded and headquartered in Memphis, Youth Villages has since branched into 11 other states and the District of Columbia. But the largest number of kids being served remains in Tennessee.
Until 1999, there was one segment of the youth population not being served. That was the year Youth Villages CEO Pat Lawler had a meeting with wealthy businessman Clarence Day, in which Day asked Lawler who the program wasn't helping. Lawler didn't think twice before answering.
"I said, in the last few years, we've identified a population of older kids who are failing miserably," Lawler said. "We knew kids were leaving here [at age 18] with no support system. When a 14-year-old has a bad outcome, it may mean they're suspended from school. When an 18-year-old has a bad outcome, that can mean they're living on the streets. They're pregnant. They don't have a job, or they're using drugs."
Day offered Youth Villages the funding to launch the Transitional Living program for kids who were aging out of the foster care system. The program was sustained solely by private funds for years until the state Department of Children's Services took notice in 2006 and began offering funds as well.
"Tennessee provides more resources for this population than any other state in the country," Lawler said. "With our match, Tennessee is so far ahead in supporting youth that it's unbelievable."
Although Day passed away in 2009, his Day Foundation recently awarded a $42 million grant, the largest Youth Villages has ever received, to continue funding the Transitional Living program.
"Essentially, that money allows us to serve more youth and prove our model out," said Youth Villages chief development officer Richard Shaw. "We're on a dual path of helping kids and proving that our model is the only model that has proven outcomes."
Youth Villages is proving that model through a study on the post-discharge success of Transitional Living youth. From October 2010 through early 2014, 1,300 Tennessee kids who are aging out of foster care will be randomly selected either to participate in the Transitional Living program or be referred to other community services not affiliated with Youth Villages.
"If they get randomized to community services, they'll get a packet letting them know what programs are out there," said Sarah Hurley, director of research for Youth Villages. "For example, there's a drop-in center where they can get help with their GED or get enrolled at Southwest [Tennessee Community College]. There are job-placement assistance programs and drop-in centers with laundry facilities. But there's no other program as intense and structured as ours."
Hurley's department will follow up with each person involved one year after they're discharged from Transitional Living or other community service programs to determine how successful youth become with or without the program.
Although Youth Villages has been following its Transitional Living youth for years, Hurley said they've never had any data to compare how successful former foster youth are without Transitional Living services.
"People look at our data and say, well, 88 percent of your kids are living at home, but how many would have been living at home without your services?" Hurley said. "Right now, I don't know because I only have access to people who have had our services."
Based on follow-ups her department has made with former Transitional Living clients, Hurley's research shows that 88 percent of them live independently or are back with their families as opposed to being homeless, in jail, or not having a permanent place to live.
Transitional Living clients typically stay in the program for seven to nine months — however long it takes for that person to get on their feet. Each client costs the program about $40 a day, and Shaw says it's worth every penny.
"You can look at the costs to run this program, but the cost of not doing anything is such a dramatic cost to society," Shaw said. "It may cost $8,000 to $10,000 [per year per child], and that may seem like a lot of money. But to do nothing and let a kid go out there and languish and end up homeless, incarcerated, or on welfare, the cost is much greater."
Steven Messer, a 21-year-old Transitional Living client, agrees with Shaw's assessment of where he'd be without the program. One of 12 kids, Messer left home at 15 because he was worried that he was following in the footsteps of his older siblings, who had all dropped out of high school.
A self-described "little misfit," Messer found a home at Dogwood, Youth Villages' residential facility. But he was discharged at age 17, so he enrolled in the Transitional Living program.
"Youth Villages saved me," said Messer, who is now majoring in Spanish at the University of Memphis. "Without them, I'd probably be a bum on the side of the street or locked up. Before, I had no motivation in life. I was young and wild and didn't have a care in the world."
Now Messer is considering a career at Youth Villages, where he could use his Spanish skills as a translator for Hispanic youth.
"They've done so much for me that I want to give back," Messer said. "If that means giving up my life to help someone else, I'm all for it."

Matthew "Matt" Trent is the villain protagonist of the Black Mirror episode White Christmas.
He was portrayed by Jon Hamm.
White Christmas
One day, Matt meets Joe Potter who just woke up at a small remote outpost house in the middle of a snowy wilderness on christmas day. Matt asks Joe why he accepted the job at the outpost. Joe doesn't remember and asks Matt the same.
Helping singles
Matt explains that he had an extra illegal job as a dating guide helping single men with pick-up lines, and once tried to help a young man named Harry to impress on a girl at a party. Via advanced visual technology called the "Z-Eye" that all the citizens have implanted in their heads, Matt could look through Harry's view while the two could communicate as well. Harry met a girl called Jennifer, who Matt taught Harry how to impress. Jennifer brought Harry home and took him to the bedroom and gave him a drink, which turned out to have poison in it. As it turned out that Jennifer was a schitzofrenic who thought Harry was the same and committed murder-suicide with Harry against his will, while Matt tried to tell him to walk away. When it was too late, Matt tried to remove any evidence of him being related to the murder. That is until his wife saw what he was doing and took his daughter and left him. He was then charged for indirect murder.
Working at Smartelligence
Matt Trent's primary job before used to be at a company called Smartelligence, which consists of him informing the "cookie-clones" (small devices that contains an exact digital clone of one person's mind) what their purpose is - that is, to prepare the day for their real selves (such as baking breakfast) through remote control of their home, since they know exactly how they would want it. On the cookies, there is the option to change the time-state of the cookie-clone, making the time for them go slower or faster. However, they can't sleep unlike real humans.
He enslaves a clone of a woman called Greta in a cookie. Appearing in an isolated room with nothing but a control panel, she gets angry because what she paid for was to HAVE a cookie and not become one, Matt explains to her that she is actually not the Greta, just an AI-clone of her real self.
Matt explains that his job is to make the clones accept their state of being and subjects her to three weeks of isolation alone in the matter of a few seconds. After cookie-Greta's three weeks have passed, which for him only took a few seconds, she still refuses to work. Matt then subjects her seven months more of isolation.
Traumatized and mentally tortured, she begs him to give her something to do. Happy to inform her, he gives her the said purpose of cookies: to control the rooms of the house (kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc) through the control panel and do whatever the real Greta asks her to.
Betraying Joe
Back at the present time at the outpost, Matt wonders what Joe did. Joe explains a long story starting with him having a fight with his girlfriend Beth when they found out she was pregnant. She then refused to talk to him and visually blocked him through the Z-Eye, and got the police on her side to make him stop following her. After several years, Beth died in a a train accident and Joe could see that she kept the baby, a daughter. When Joe finally tried to talkt to his seeming daughter, it turns out that she was actually the child of Beth's colleague, as she had his features instead of Joe's. When a sad Joe went into the house where Beth's father Gordon was, Joe lost control and accidently killed Gordon, leading to the little girl to eventually get lost and died. When Matt got Joe to tearfully admit that he killed Gordon, he jumped up and cheered, not caring at all about the tragic story Joe just told him. Matt then turns to Joe and sarcastically apologizes. As it turns out that they had both been inside a cookie all the time and also that the entire scene with the outpost house was just a set-up so Matt could help the police by manipulating Joe into confess to murder. Matt appears back at the police's office as they cheer that they finally got Joe's confession so that he could be imprisoned. The police thank Matt, but tells him that his punishment for indirect murder is only downplayed. They tell him that he now can avoid prison, but that his new punishment is instead to be blocked by everyones Z-Eye. Matt leaves the police station where all the people through his view are blurred out and everyone else sees him in complete red.

This World Whisky Day (Saturday 21 May), The SMWS celebrated by hosting its Project Flavour Behaviour test sessions around the world.
The series of Project Flavour Behaviour events took place in cities worldwide, including Washington, D.C., Vancouver, Melbourne, London and Edinburgh at SMWS venues and partner bars.
The SMWS asked volunteers to take a personality test and sample rare whiskies for secretive 'Project Flavour Behaviour' experiment.
Project Flavour Behaviour is being carried out by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society in partnership with Dr. Adam Moore from the University of Edinburgh's Psychology Department. Dr. Adam Moore made an appearance at the events via a special film shot at The Society's home The Vaults in Edinburgh.
Participants at the events, which were free, were asked to take a written personality test and then taste 12 special samples of single malt whisky.
Brand Ambassador Phoebe Brookes was in Washington, D.C. hosting a test session at partner bar Jack Rose Dining Saloon.
"The day was a huge success and everyone was eager to know what the results will be", she said.
In Vancouver, Rob and Kelly Carpenter from SMWS Canada joined Eric and Allura Fergie, proprietors of SMWS partner bar Fets Whisky Kitchen, held three sessions throughout the day.
In Melbourne, National Ambassador & Development Manager Matt Bailey led a test session at partner bar The Kilburn.
Events were also held at the SMWS Queen Street and SMWS London venues.
The findings from all of the events will be analysed by Dr. Moore and fed into the ongoing Flavour Behaviour experiment, which will be unveiled in more detail during 2016.

DesiderataFirst, a little bit about what i'm looking for.
I am convinced that a capable computer programmer can build things of great benefit to the world. I'm not trying to be arrogant; i just think it's true because software and networking enable inventions to spread at incredible speed, and a single person can launch one with nothing more than a laptop and an Internet connection. The software industry is unique in this respect. It only took one person to invent HTML and two people to start Google or Wikipedia. Individual programmers have created things as powerful as Napster (at age 19), Facebook (at age 20?), and BitTorrent (at age 26). So, from a certain perspective, i'm already way behind the game in terms of fulfilling potential.
That's my primary goal: for my existence to have yielded things of benefit to the world — hopefully, of significant benefit to many people. That means my decisions hinge on a calculus of benefit, which is of course a complicated and subjective thing. I often find myself feeling like the stonecutter in the fable as i chase down chains of logic trying to figure out how to achieve maximum benefit. In any case, my current line of thinking is that there are five factors in choosing the most beneficial option:
- number of people who benefit
- degree of impact of the project
- degree of my personal impact on the project
- likelihood of success
- necessity of my participation
The last factor implies that there has to be something about my skills that fits the project — if the job i do is something that would have been done by someone else anyway, then my choice to join the project has little effect. And the ultimate choice, in terms of the last factor, would be to start and launch something of my own, provided it doesn't duplicate something that already exists.
I think of these five factors as combining in a roughly multiplicative way — a × b × c × d × e is the approximate expected utility of making a particular career choice. (Let me know if you notice factors i've forgotten.) Notwithstanding all that, i am biased toward projects that benefit a large number of people and/or people who are less fortunate. I don't know to what extent this is because they are truly more useful, or because i want to be famous or seen as noble. But whatever the reason, it matters to me to do work whose benefit most people can understand.
What is the most important problem?There's a saying about how to win a game of Go: simply always make the biggest move. Each stone you play will affect the final score somehow; if you choose moves that are worth more than your opponent's moves, you're bound to win. The hard part is evaluating what each move is worth.
I don't expect to save the world by myself, but i'll get further if i have the conviction to focus on something rather than dabbling in a lot of different projects. So, i feel it's time for me to pick a big problem to attack, and after i've chosen it, to go as far down that road as possible. The question is what problem to choose.
Below are some possible answers, presented as arguments by imaginary people (members of the committee in my head, you might say). I've also broken these out into top-level comments by me below so you can comment on them individually.
1. Energy crisisAll the things that support our modern society and well-being — production, transportation, manufacturing, health, communication, defense — run on energy extracted from our environment. Literally everything either uses energy or is produced by a process that consumes energy. Our energy extraction and consumption is starting to run into limits. Without an energy source that is efficient, affordable, doesn't start wars, and doesn't cause significant climate change, all of humanity is in deep trouble.
Therefore, the most valuable thing for you to do, Ping, is to devote your technical and engineering skills to developing renewable sources of energy or ways to conserve energy. It doesn't matter that this is a new area for you; you can learn, and we need all the help we can get on this problem. The potential damage caused by global climate change is so enormous that if we fail, nothing else will matter.
2. Computer securityEnergy is an important problem, but it doesn't match your skill set. Other people are working on that problem. But all the same things that are listed in #1 as essential parts of our modern society and well-being also heavily depend on computer software. Computers are in control of ever more powerful things both virtual (governments, banks, financial transactions, personal information) and real (factories, weapons, critical infrastructure). Yet, even as we become more dependent on them, they are becoming less and less reliable. They break down often; they are hard to use; they behave and misbehave in unpredictable ways. And they are vulnerable to attack. As we rely on them more, small bugs, vulnerabilities, and human mistakes will have more and more catastrophic effects.
The computer science community needs to collectively bring about a change in the way we design and build software, and you're in a position to play a significant part in this effort. A combined approach to usability and security is essential to solving this problem, and you've brought them together in your previous research. Capability-based security thinking is also essential; you understand the capability ideas, and you're well-connected with the main players in that area. They are strong, but few. Join them. You already have momentum in this direction; use it to help them push the software world onto the right path.
3. Poverty and educationThe real problem is peace. Without peace, we have nothing. Conflict comes about because of suffering, misunderstanding, and disparities between groups of people. The most effective way to bring a lasting end to poverty is education. To create understanding between different cultures requires education. To develop higher standards of living, address health problems, and start successful businesses requires education. To help people understand democracy and human rights requires education. To spread awareness of societies that are freer, fairer, and more humane requires education. The most powerful thing you can do is to help bring educational tools and global communication to those that don't have them.
The problem is urgent. Time is short. Increasingly destructive weapons are available to increasingly many people. International conflict is becoming more and more dangerous. The tools of peace and the tools of war are in a race, and you must help accelerate the tools of peace if peace is to prevail.
4. Governance and democracyThe real power is in the hands of governments. Peace is not achievable when politicians in powerful countries can deceive their citizens and launch wars with impunity. Solving the energy crisis, improving public health, safeguarding the environment, and the other big challenges are all dependent on politicians making good decisions.
But in the most powerful country of all, the United States, democracy is broken. Time after time, the political system arrives at the wrong answers to even the most straightforward and well-understood questions — whether retroactive copyright extension promotes the creation of new works (it doesn't), whether climate change is real (it is), how much it will cost to invade Iraq ($500 billion and counting) — despite objective analysis and a clear consensus. That's because the system is corrupt: the decision-making process is distorted by money and lobbyists, whose influence is so strong that it can obliterate facts.
The only way to restore democracy is to hold politicians accountable to the people who vote for them, instead of the lobbyists who appeal to their financial self-interest. Part of the problem is to fix the voting machinery and the method of counting votes to determine the winner; you've already done some thinking along those lines. The other part of the problem is to make the votes actually mean something — in order for votes to actually carry some power, government needs to be more transparent and accessible. Citizens need ways to understand what their elected officials are doing, hold them responsible for keeping their promises, and evaluate their campaign rhetoric in light of their actions. The UK has tools like theyworkforyou.com and hearfromyourmp.com; the United States and other countries need tools like these as well, and more. You can make this happen. Now is your chance to apply your web development, design, and information visualization skills, and use the power of the Internet to help fix democracy.
5. Media and journalismHolding politicians accountable to their voters doesn't do any good if the voters are wrong. The idea that democracy will produce the right answers — faith in the wisdom of crowds — ignores the susceptibility of the populace to media influence. The media are biased to serve their own interests (for example, they aren't exactly eager to discuss media regulation, and prefer to emphasize the sensational over the significant) and are beholden to advertisers as well. Politicians aren't the only ones that put out misleading advertisements; corporate marketing departments regularly distort the truth too.
The conflict of interest inherent in commercial media makes it difficult for most citizens to get getting accurate, unbiased information on which to base not only their votes but also their purchasing decisions. The only way to solve this problem is to hold the media — and all sources of information — accountable for getting it right. The alternative of replacing the centralized media with a more distributed system like Wikipedia or OhMyNews is also appealing, but even if that were to happen, we would still need a way to hold sources accountable for their accuracy.
You made a start at tackling this problem before, when you tried to enable public annotation of web pages; there is plenty more that can be done to help the public substantively critique and compare news articles, blog posts, and primary sources. There is an unmet need here for a way to settle on facts backed by evidence and consensus — something like a Snopes for the media, with a participatory and scientific process. You've been wanting to create something like this for a long time; now you can make it real.
6. Decision-making and collective intelligenceThe most urgent problem is to improve our ability to solve complex and urgent problems. Finding solutions is about much more than facts. Questions like how to address global climate change, whether nuclear power is safe, how to design secure computer software, and how to improve public health are complex and intricate. Right now, finding and evaluating solutions to these problems is a tremendously inefficient process of researching a mountain of literature, with a high likelihood of replaying misunderstandings and logical errors that have been made many times. This inefficiency also leads to fractured communities of experts with each one holding a narrow point of view, reinforced by the small segment of the literature with which they are familiar. The Internet has made access to literature faster, but has made the literature itself no more accurate or easier to integrate.
To be able to deal with the increasingly complex and urgent problems we face, communities of scientists and experts need more effective ways to lay out their evidence and their arguments, evaluate them, and rapidly arrive at a consensus. The status quo is decades of controversy and debate, sometimes with failed public policy experiments carried out at devastating cost. It is doubtful that we can afford to keep doing things this way. You've been interested in collective intelligence for a long time, and have dreamed of better ways to organize discussion and argumentation online, and to help sound reasoning win out over logical fallacies. Carry out that dream.
Your opinions here...Which answer sounds the most compelling to you? Are there other good options i've failed to identify? I'm interested in your thoughts.
Update: I've already received several suggestions of the form, "Do what you enjoy." It's good advice, yes, but i should probably explain why i've intentionally left that out of this particular analysis:
- For me, enjoyment and motivation go hand in hand. If i realize that what i'm doing isn't that significant after all, the motivation will go away and i'll stop enjoying it. So part of the point of this exercise is to construct an argument strong enough for whatever choice i make, such that i can maintain conviction in my choice and continue to enjoy it, long enough to actually achieve something.
- Also, there's something that feels intellectually dishonest about choosing an answer just because i like it rather than because it's right. I'm hoping to find more solid grounding for my decision.

North Carolina's upset of Florida State stands as one of the biggest surprises in a Week 5 full of shocking moments around college football.
The Seminoles entered their ACC date double-digit favorites, but fell on a last-second field goal from a mile out, 37-35.
FSU dug itself into a 21-0 hole in the second quarter before rallying to tie the game at 28-28 in the fourth. After UNC kicker Nick Weiler missed a PAT with 2:31 remaining, the Seminoles answered with a 75-yard scoring drive.
But Weiler redeemed himself by making a game winning 54-yard field goal as time expired to pull off the upset. Here's a closer look at the loss and why it's crucial for Florida State.
Okay, so FSU's College Football Playoff chances were already slim after dropping a 63-20 loss to Louisville in Week 3, but there was at least still some hope. The chips could have fallen in the Seminoles' favor, especially after Clemson defeated the Cardinals, 42-36, on Saturday.
But it doesn't look like a two-loss ACC team will be able to earn a CFB Playoff spot, especially with multiple undefeated Power 5 teams remaining. Few predicted the Seminoles would have two losses before their game against Clemson.
At best, FSU can play spoiler to the Tigers' potentially perfect season. Fresh off a bye week, the Seminoles host the defending ACC champion Tigers Oct. 29.
Speaking of preseason hype, FSU's current defense was credited by Bleacher Report as potentially being its best in school history. That turned out to be a bit of a reach even before losing its best player, safety Derwin James, prior to the loss at Louisville in Week 3.
But the Noles have been especially bad in James' absence. On Saturday, UNC quarterback Mitch Trubisky threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns on 31 of 38 passing. The Seminoles have dropped to No. 13 in scoring defense (35.4 points per game) and No. 11 in total defense (438.4) among ACC teams since losing the former five-star prospect.
FSU could continue to struggle in James' absence during next week's matchup against an improved Miami team, which ranks second among ACC teams in scoring offense (47.0 points per game).
You can't blame running back Dalvin Cook for FSU's loss Saturday. The junior rushed for a season-best three touchdowns and 140 yards on 29 carries.
Granted, it came against a UNC defense that ranks last among ACC teams in rushing defense. But that shouldn't discredit the preseason Heisman nominee from stepping up in a close game.
Cook provided three scores of the four touchdowns that erased a 21-0 deficit between the second and fourth quarters. Without him, the Noles would've been blown out, rather than losing on a 54-yard field goal as time expired.
And perhaps all of the pessimism surrounding Cook was premature. It may have taken him a few games, but the junior is within striking distance of Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson for the ACC's highest rushing total.
However, the Heisman seems out of reach with FSU playing so underwhelming in 2016, along with how much better Jackson has played than any other player in the country.
Speaking of which, let's acknowledge Weiler as the hero in Saturday's game. The senior avenged a missed 51-yard attempt in the third quarter and a would-be game tying PAT in the fourth by making a 54-yarder in the game's final seconds.
You can't ask for more out of your kicker than that.
"I knew it was withing his distance — that wasn't the issue. He was due, and he had something prove…after the extra point got blocked," head coach Larry Fedora said in his post-game press conference.

The samurai class of feudal Japan practiced many regional styles of swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat.
One of the most prevalent systems was known as Daito Ryu Aiki JiuJitsu. One of the most notorious masters of that style was a samurai by the name of Sokaku Takeda.
Takeda Sensei had many disciples, but his most famous students were Morihei Ueshiba, who became the founder of Aikido and Jigoro Kano, who went on to create modern Judo.
Kano Sensei in turn taught Mitsuyo Maeda who then emigrated to Brazil and passed his art on to the Gracie family.
By developing and spreading JiuJitsu to unprecedented levels of efficiency and popularity, the Gracie Clan has become perhaps the single most influential dynasty in all of martial arts.
Grandmaster Helío Gracie's adaptation of the Judo he had learned from Maeda, particularly his focus on Newaza (ground-fighting) and the use of leverage and timing to overcome brute force gave birth to what's commonly known around the world as Brazilian JiuJitsu in its ubiquitous sporting form.
But if you live in the Baltimore area, you don't have to travel to Japan or even Brazil to learn "El Arte Suave". Prem1er Combat Academy brings authentic Brazilian JiuJitsu right to your backyard whether you live in Baltimore City, Catonsville, Arbutus, Halethorpe, Elkridge or the surrounding area, you should sign up for our free 10-day trial and experience the physical, mental and emotional benefits that practicing Brazilian JiuJitsu has to offer!
The curriculum we follow is one of the richest and most comprehensive in all of martial arts. Our Brazilian JiuJitsu syllabus is based on the Gracie JiuJitsu curriculum and expands on it further to maintain an emphasis on self-defense and include techniques from other martial arts as well to offer our students a complete education in JiuJitsu and the understanding of how to apply it not only in a sporting setting but also to a combat situation.
You will start off learning fundamental techniques that not only lay the foundation for your future JiuJitsu journey but also enable you to effectively defend yourself against the most commonly encountered street attacks even against a larger, stronger opponent.
Our fundamentals classes start of with some movement exercises and then focuses on mastering the basic techniques of Brazilian JiuJitsu while learning about the principles of leverage, body mechanics and timing as they relate to grappling. We also introduce some essential strategies and tactics that we explore further in our advanced classes where students then learn to chain together sophisticated attack sequences as well as how to successfully escape from bad positions and execute and evade a multitude of take-downs.
Students in the advanced classes will also have the opportunity to test out their skills and explore the live application of the techniques they've learned in sparring.
So whether you live in Baltimore, Catonsville, Arbutus, Halethorpe, Elkridge or the surrounding area, sign up for your 10-day free trial today and come experience the type of physical, mental and spiritual transformation only Brazilian JiuJitsu training can offer!
Because only knowledge that resides within the body is true knowledge of self.
We offer new students a 6-day risk-free trial that includes unlimited access to all of our classes.

Amen, Chels. Amen. I don't need to add anything to what you've said. You hit the nail squarely on the head.ReplyDelete
It more entertaining if I picture you reading this out loud because you, like me, get worked up and passionate. I also picture Allison adding running commentary on how you should have said this or that and being the verbal copy editor.
Many blessings on all of the family's continued work in Mexico. As always, I'm praying for you all.
Love this. Even though I'm not in this group of voters, I reposted your post on Twitter so hopefully someone will see it:) your thoughts were very well written!!! Thank you for doing your part!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank-you for sharing it!!Delete
"I pray that God would work a miracle" amen!! That's my prayer too. :) Thanks for the encouragement, it's the final stretch for us down here! ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for all that y'all did! Even though I know Florida didn't turn out like we would've hoped, still it is a good feeling to know that we followed the Lord and did our part!Delete
This year is my first time being able to vote, and I'm excited and honored that in my first time voting I can stand with a man who is born again and seeks God for guidance, defends the Constitution, and has conservative values...Ted Cruz! =) He has my vote in NC! Thank you, Chelsy, for standing up for truth in a time when truth is scarce. Blessings to you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Amen! So exciting that you could have a candidate to BE PROUD OF on your first time voting!Delete
I have been praying that God would work a miracle for Florida, for if Cruz wins Florida, than there is good chance that he will be in the final election!!! Also, I wanted to thank you and your family for taking a stand in this election!! Thanks again, SarahReplyDeleteReplies
All glory goes to Jesus-we are just wanting to do our part and have no regrets!Delete

What will you do if Trump becomes the Republican candidate? Vote for him or not vote at all?ReplyDeleteReplies
I wouldn't even consider voting for him.Delete
In almost every situation I would normally say that as Americans we have a duty ultimately in the general election, to vote for the lesser of two evils.
But honestly for me if it was down to Trump vs Hillary there would be no lesser of two evils. They are both almost equally two of the most dishonest, immoral, corrupt, ungodly, and wicked candidates possible.
I believe with all my heart that Trump is a modern day Hitler, and time will only prove to confirm this. As such it would be absolutely impossible for me to vote for him with a clear conscience before the Lord.
I can tell you that there are many, MANY Christians I have talked to who agree with me completely and would never vote for Trump even if he were the republican nominee.
We must rise up and pray like never before that God would work an absolutely miracle so that we do not have to see the final election being down to two people like Trump and Hillary.
The more I think about the populist nationalism that DJT has latched onto, the more I tend to agree with you Chelsy. It makes my skin crawl, but those of us that are believers need to pray and we need to stick together to make it through this. Our safety and voice will come in numbers.Delete
I might add that I will not "not vote". I will write in Ted Cruz or vote for an acceptable 3rd party candidate. We must always participate in our local/county, state and down ballot races.

Brandon and I were literally just talking about this! We said that if it was between Hillary and Trump, we could never vote for either as Christians. We never thought not voting or writing-in a candidate was a good choice, but now see it as the only choices if that's how these elections work out.Delete
We were also saying how thankful we are that your family suggested setting aside Fridays to pray and fast. It has led us into deeper and more frequent prayer with the Lord and every time we feel overwhelmed by the state of our nation or the going-ons of the election it's such a natural response for us to immediately go into prayer over these circumstances.
And thank y'all so much for joining in prayer + fasting! We have been so encouraged to hear of all the people who are doing this!
Chels it is funny how I have read that you say Trump is a modern day Hitler. I have said that myself. I have even been to some of these states that supported Trump & said "Hio Hitler Trump".Delete
My brother and sister and I went out to the polls for 12 hours today to talk to people about voting for Cruz!! It was really great! Still watching for the results for MO and it looks like Cruz is getting closer and closer to Trump... still hoping for a win! God can do great things!ReplyDelete

Hi Chelsy!ReplyDelete
I was hoping the post title was referring to y'all adding more tour dates. ;-) I'm in MO!
Saw your post a little too late, although we're not registered to vote anyway... *shrug* It's just interesting to follow this crazy "circus" though!
Realistically, Cruz can't get enough delegates at this point either... (Would need HUGE (said like Trump) wins.) So the most others can do is try to stop Trump.
Anyway, I accidentally came across your blog a month ago, and have been meaning to send an e-mail. I think I became your biggest fan right away! :-) Haha Yeah, so I'm slow, but hopefully I'll do that very soon. (I haven't really been back here since the first time, though I intended to, to skim over the archives in search of awesomeness... or something. ;-D You're amazingly refreshing. #ThankYou)
Take care and God bless!

Ted Cruz needs to have great days, for sure, to win the nomination but he is the only one that can do it outside of the Combed Over One.Delete
As someone close to the campaign, I do know that we are doing all in our power, all the while praying and asking God to provide for us. Like Chelsy said in a previous response, I truly believe that DJT is evil. There is a group of psychologists that wrote about DJT being a narcissistic sociopath. I tend to agree with them. He has no issue completely contradicting himself and he sees no problem when he does. The fact that many believe him leads me to believe that we have too many ill informed and frankly(there's an inside joke here) willfully ignorant people voting in this country. Many things are to blame but the state of our education systems and the state of our churches are a good starting point on where to place blame.
We need to pray for true revival and that people would open their eyes to see and open their ears to hear what is needed.
Hope I wasn't too forceful but Chelsy knows where I'm coming from.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm thankful if something here can be a challenge to others!

Thanks so much, Chelsy, for the post! You really expressed my emotions! I'm from Illinois! =) I'm so glad that there are other other people that believe like me, trying to do what we can for God!ReplyDelete
Even if it is Trump or Hillary that becomes president in the end, it shouldn't matter! We still need to trust ONLY. GOD. NO. ONE. ELSE. Because HE is the ONLY one that is in control of this evil and wicked world!
I really appreciate your blog...I admire your faith and everything else about you! I love hearing your family sing...you guys are blessed with such a talent!
Another thing...I am your birthday buddy! Except I am 10 years younger! But what's special about it is that YOU are the ONLY one I know that shares a birthday with me! And I'm so glad it's some one like you! =)
Well, trust God no matter WHAT happens in this 2016 election! I trust that we will still do our part, but still let God take over!

Hello, Chelsy!ReplyDelete
You mention that Rubio and Kasich are not good men to vote for, may I ask why? I get why Hillary isn't, but may I ask why Bernie (is it because he is a socialist?)
Feel free to email me email@example.com
As of now, Rubio is out. Kasich has no path to victory and is mathematically eliminated from contention. He's trying to end up as the kingmaker at the convention. John Kasich is also a tax and spend big government types of guy who has cozied up to big government issues like expanded Medicaid and Common Core. Those issues run contrary to free market and limited government principles. He also has been morally bankrupt on issues of religious liberty. The Kim Davis issue in Kentucky is a prime example.Delete
Bernie is an unrepentant socialist and would serve to limit individual sovereignty in this country. Hillary is much the same but in a more veiled manner. Both think that government needs to control your life. The only fair government is one that leaves the citizens alone to live their lives as they see fit. No mandates. No directives.
Trump is a whole 'nother can of worms. Frankly(this is an inside joke), he's stirred up a movement of hate and vitriol the likes of which I've never seen. He is a caricature of what the left thinks of conservatives while being anything but. As a Christian Conservative, I know that none of Trump's positions jibe with my own. He doesn't value individual liberty or free religious expression. He has sold people an empty bag of hate and anger.
Chelsy knows that I agree with her. I'm just explaining to anyone else and responding to the above comment.
We need to be in prayer for our nation every single day. This country was not made into the exceptional nation it became by the virtues of any single man. Only by God's Providence were we allowed to prosper. The nation wasn't perfect but we kept moving toward better ideas and more liberty and where there is liberty and freedom to exalt our Father in heaven, He blesses us. We must not let these ideals perish. I reiterate, no man can make us great, only God can. Choose a candidate that will get government out of God's way.
Hello Dana!Delete
I'm sorry I hadn't gotten to respond yet, but I completely agree with everything Matt said so you can take that as my answer-I feel the same way. =)
Thanks for your question!
- AnonymousJuly 10, 2016 at 7:36 PM
So now that Trump will most likely be the Republican candidate I assume you or your family or other conservatives that you mentioned will not be voting in this presidential election per your reply above. You stated that you and many other conservatives would never vote for Trump or Hillary.ReplyDeleteReplies
I can't answer for other people. My family is somewhat divided; some are still praying about what the Lord would have them to do. This is very much a personal decision for each of us; even though we are a very "tight" family, we each realize that we have to answer to God for ourselves and have to make that decision on our own.Delete
So I can't answer for other conservatives or the rest of my family. But I can answer for myself that I could never and will never vote for either Hillary or Trump. Knowing everything that I know about their personal lives and background, there is no way I could vote for either of them. I will not judge someone else who does; that is between them and the Lord. I'm just speaking for myself. I know too much about them to be able to give them my vote with a clear conscience.
I will still get out and vote, absolutely-I believe that is my Christian duty. It is very hard to know that there is nobody that I feel I can vote for who has a chance. (obviously as the only option left would be third party) But that is what it is-I did my part to do my best to get a godly man in the republican party but at the end of the day there just weren't enough people willing to stand up and fight for truth, and the result is the candidates we are left with.
Thanks for your question!
Comments containing profanity and/or hateful language will not be published. I will not be posting comments with questions regarding either John's or my extended family. If you have questions about them, please go ask them on their blogs. =)
Also, anyone with a question related to a post must provide their full name. Feel free to email me with questions on topics not pertinent to the post. Thanks y'all!

County council and police lead the way on tackling scams across Cambridgeshire that are claiming more and more victims
PUBLISHED: 13:04 17 December 2018 | UPDATED: 10:11 18 December 2018
More than 20 organisations are signing up to a new partnership to intensify the fight against scams and to make Cambridgeshire and Peterborough a scam-free county.
Led by the county council and police the groups include East Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership, Fenland Community Safety Partnership Trading Standards, Age UK, Neighbourhood Watch and NatWest Bank, who will work together to raise awareness of scams and to support victims of scams.
According to Action Fraud, 53 per cent of people aged 65 or over have been targeted by scams and criminals. Being a victim of this crime can have devastating impact.
These crimes are often targeted at people in our communities that are vulnerable for a variety of reasons, including poverty, isolation, frailty, disability, cognitive impairment, and by the very nature of them being specifically targeted.
Anyone can be a scam victim, regardless of age, gender, education or economic background; partners are committed to act on the Against Scams Partnership four key aims:
•Improve awareness of scams
•Increase protection for everyone, and especially vulnerable people, against scams
•Implement consistent recording of scams and improve referral processes
•Improve support for potential victims of scams
Cllr Steve Criswell, chair of Cambridgeshire County Council's Communities and Partnership committee said: "The impact of scams on a victim can be devastating, in some cases people lose their hard earned life savings and are left emotionally and financially unable to continue to live independently.
"We need to increase the awareness of how to spot a scam and share that knowledge with friends and neighbours."
Jason Ablewhite, Police and Crime Commissioner said: "Each year fraud costs the UK economy between £5 and 10bn and it's believed that only five per cent of victims actually report the crime. It's vital that we stand together to tackle this issue head on. We all need to work together to achieve the same goal, which is a scam-free county."
Join us in our Friends Against Scams campaign by taking part here : https://www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk/elearning/Cambridgeshire
If you think you or a relative, friend or neighbour have been the victim of a scam or fraud or you are concerned about a possible scam or fraud, please report it to the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 04 05 06 or Action Fraud on 0300 123

I am linking up with Kacey for Five for Friday.
The past couple of weeks we have started slowly talking about all things Halloween. We have talked about pumpkins and this week we talked about bats and spiders. Here are some of the activities we did...
1. Counting out bat eyes.
2. We did some counting and sorting in the Halloween Sensory Bin. The kids have also loved singing 5 Little Skeletons and acting it out.
3. We have been decorating a skeleton at table time. I found this on clearance at Target last year.
4. We have torn paper and scrunched it up (great for hand strengthening!) and filled pumpkins.
5. We also ready The Very Busy Spider and did the flip it, say it, stamp it for the words in the book.
What are some of your favorite Halloween activities to do with your kiddos?!

Once upon a time (2003), a group of fictional friends gathered in Central Perk to hear Chandler Bing's exciting announcement.
"I got a job in advertising," he says.
"Oh hey, that's incredible!" exclaims Monica.
"Gosh, what's the pay like?" Phoebe inquires.
"Actually, it pays nothing. It's an internship," Chandler responds.
Because we as a society have mutually agreed to herald television as the all-knowing source of education and comfort, this particular "Friends" scenario teaches us a thing or two about employment in America. Internships are common, but typically not for adults; internships are important, but often they're unpaid; internships are critical, but often demeaning ("There's gonna be some grunt work which will stink. A grown man getting people coffee is humiliating," Chandler says).
In the fictional "Friends" scenario, Chandler successfully spun his internship into a full-time role. And the data shows that this isn't entirely out of the question in the real world — in fact, a 2016 survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) study revealed that more than 72 percent of paid internships led to job offers — the highest rate since the market hit a pre-recession peak. But for unpaid interns like Chandler, the prospect of employment wasn't so likely: Less than 44 percent got job offers from internships, which was just a bit better than graduates who scored job offers with no internship experience to speak of (36.5 percent). [source: NACE].
So the data says one thing, and our beloved TV spirit guides say another, but what's the real deal with internships? Are the facts really facts, or just assumptions rooted in popular culture representations and widespread misinformation? Time to find out...

The DH42 'Dormouse' was a single-engine reconnaissance-fighter, designed against Specification 22/22 for 'Army Co-operation Roles', a range of inter-war aircraft which gave support to various military ground units.
The sole example Doormouse (J7005) flew for the first time at Stag Lane on 25th July 1923, being powered by a single 360 hp Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar II engine.
The type was of conventional all-wooden construction and a large oval cut-out was provided in the upper wing centre section to provide an excellent upward view for the pilot. The lower wing was of a reduced span with a single-axle undercarriage.
Later and following trials of the DH42A Dingo I, the Dormouse J7005 was modified and fitted with a more powerful 420 hp Jaguar IV engine.
It served at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough with the Wireless & Photographic Flight for experimental radio work from March to December 1925, when it was written off.
The next DH42 variant was the DH42A 'Dingo' and it was a further development of the Doormouse, built again as an Army Co-operation and Close-Support aircraft against Specification 8/24.
Two Dingo examples were actually built: (J7006 - Dingo I) and (J7007 - Dingo II) and the type was intended as another potential replacement for the DH9A. The Dingo I was powered by the Bristol Jupiter III engine, changing to the Jupiter IV for the DH42B Dingo II.
The crew comprised of a pilot and gunner, with four bombs carried under the lower wing. The larger engine resulted in significant changes to the forward fuselage and relocation of the forward-firing armament.
The Dingo I (J7006) flew on 12th March 1924 although after trials at Martlesham Heath it was destroyed after it broke-up mid-air over Northolt on 5th June 1924.
The Dingo II (J7007) first flew in September 1924, piloted by Hurbert Broad and was fitted with the slightly more powerful Jupiter IV engine and featured all-metal construction, increased fuel capacity and external message pick-up gear under the rear fuselage.
It was subsequently flown to RAE Farnborough in November 1926 whereafter it was permanently grounded before being broken up sometime later.

Don't let Rosen's migraine-induced miasma prevent you from enjoying this raucous episode of your favorite Jewish podcast. Instead, step into the Twilight Lounge to hear about Hamas' never-ending threats, little kids dressed as Hitler, Goldbrener's uniquely punk rock take on the shock value of the swastika and Rosen's unsettling question about the anti-semites' end game.
On to this week's question:
Is Barney Pressman good for the Jews?
The founder of Barney's is a cliche and an undeniable truth all in one. Are the lessons we learned from the rise and fall of his eponymous clothing business and the corresponding discussion about the "rags to riches" story evidence of a valid American dream? And are Jews invited?

I know it is not yet time for my monthly picture of Chong Chong, but I really like this picture and want to share it. 😉
He's standing quite well (almost walking), and loves reaching up to "use" my mouse and keyboard. A simply wonderful distraction when I'm working at home.
The shot was taken with my DMC-GX7. I would've preferred to have crisper focus on his hand, but I think the softness might help to convey a sense of movement (and, well, if he's awake, he's moving). A fair amount of cropping and straightening, with increases in contrast and clarity, and large decreases in highlights and shadows. I also took the liberty of removing some scratches from my desktop, thankyouverymuch.
Oh, and I like how the keyboard and glasses help to frame the shot.

I recently switched over to GoDaddy email marketing and have found the editing tool to lack many options I am used to. Such as being able to upload PDF files and linking them to text in the email.
I am not familiar with HTML coding, so easier solutions are required.
Hi @Seafood406,
You cannot upload files to an email marketing campaign, but you can definitely host the file somewhere (such as dropbox or similar) and link to it from your campaign.
