The GDPR imposes stiff fines on data processors and controllers for non-compliance.
GDPR non-compliance could be the beginning of the end for a good number of companies doing business in the EU.
According to the new GDPR and DPA compliance rules set up by the EU, it is mandatory for all organizations to ensure compliance to the new regulation that is set to take effect in May 2018. Failure to comply will lead to severe fines and penalties, something that most companies could do well to avoid. The Data Protection Act of 1998 (DPA) is being enforced by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). There are a number of repercussions when it comes to a breach of the DPA of which data processors and officers need to be aware:
- In the case of serious breaches, the financial penalty is up to £500,000.
- Possible prosecution with a prison sentence (if the culprit is found to purposefully be trying to breach the DPA).
- Organizations who breach the law must take necessary steps to adhere to the law.
- The ICO has complete authority to audit various government departments without consent.
By May 2018, the EU will enforce the General Data Protection Regulation. Organizations who are found to breach this law will face larger fines. Additionally, there is also the possibility of insolvency or business closure if the business fails to comply with the GDPR.
Businesses have until May to ensure that they are in compliance. While it appears to be a lot of work to ensure compliance, creating a plan and acting urgently will be of utmost importance for most large enterprises.
What are the penalties or punishment for failing to comply with the GDPR?
- Failure to comply with articles 5, 6, 7, and 9 of the GDPR will carry a penalty of up to €20 million or up to 4% of total global revenue of the previous year, whichever is the greater amount.
- If organizations fail to comply with articles 8, 9, 11, 25-39, 42, and 43 of the GDPR, there will be a penalty of up to €10 million or 2% of the total global revenue of the previous year, whichever is higher.
To ensure your organization is compliant with the GDPR law, follow the 12-step guide that the ICO has issued. This guide discusses areas that organizations need to address while preparing for the GDPR. There are other helpful insights, like the definition of data and what is needed for the journey ahead.
Employees must also be aware of upcoming GDPR compliance measures and know why it must be enforced. They can take steps to being more vigilant and diligent about the usage of customer data, consent, and privacy.
Additionally, there are four primary areas that must also be taken into consideration to ensure all companies who do business in the EU, whether they have a physical presence in the EU or not, meets the requirements:
- Identification of data
- Protection of data
- Data usage monitoring
- Notification of data breaches
The process towards achieving GDPR compliance has just started. As it progresses, there will be more information shared by the ICO and other regulating bodies. In a nutshell, however, the deadline for GDPR compliance is just around the corner. Non-compliance is simply not worth the headache or the penalties.

A lot of the book is far-fetched, but it was an entertaining, early John Grisham type read. Good if you are looking for a quick thriller.

Paid Canvassing
Our Approach
New opportunities to reach voters online emerge every-day, so you can't deny the power of online organizing. However, person-to-person voter contact still matters and canvassing still plays a key role. Canvassing is proving time and time again as one of the most effective ways to move votes. Some may argue that it matters even more now and that real life voter contact can help break through all the noise in our daily lives.
This doesn't mean that we run canvasses the same way that they were run in 2002 though. There are opportunities to better integrate online and offline campaigning, and find tools and technology that are a good fit for some campaigns. There is solid research on what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to a paid canvass operation.
Whether we are just helping run one canvass or advising on the overall field operation, we always look for opportunities to maximize the canvass opportunities and integrate with other departments–staying in our lane and focusing on what's important.
What We Offer
- A Canvass Quick Start: Tailored to campaigns looking to launch their first canvass program, the Canvass Quick Start package builds plans for modern and disciplined canvass operations, developing the materials and systems they need to launch their canvass. We work with your team to develop plans and targets, set goals, build systems, and set structures to launch a professional and disciplined canvass operation.
- Canvass Consulting: We provide the same set of materials to launch your canvass, and additional ongoing support to your field director (or staff assigned to the canvass).
- Full-Service Canvass Management: Our team manages the canvass start-to-finish, from hiring to payroll, management to data, and all points in between. For cost efficiency, we'll typically hire, train, and guide a staffer from our network and place them in your campaign full-time (or part-time).
Our Fees
We run our canvass programs a little differently, charging a set-up fee and a monthly management fee that varies based on the size and complexity of the canvass. There are no mark-ups or commissions on canvassers or doors. We pay canvassers a fair wage of no less than $15/hour. Click here to learn more.

I go through phases where my creativity is like a full bottle of Diet Coke with a Mentos dropped inside; ideas are literally spewing from me. Then I go through phases where there is nothing but creative silence; my mind feels empty and dark and still. There's no rhyme or reason to either of these times, at least none that I can tell, none that I've noticed, none that I can put my finger on. I've tried to pay attention during the quiet times. Why is nothing coming to me now? Why is my mind a blank? Why is no little voice whispering crazy thoughts to my muse, who in turn shouts them at me? Generally nothing comes to me during these times. I am, quite literally, a void. Still, for the longest time, I would carry my journal. Waiting. Keeping it handy just in case.
Until I didn't keep it handy any more.
A few years ago, I put it in a drawer and let it sit there. I've always loved my journal. The paper in it is thick – the kind of parchment that a regular ballpoint pen has a hard time floating across. If you ever met my journal, you'd be impressed. It looks very self important. It's well built, rugged, a little lined in places, but still really good looking. It has the ability to look happy and content or dark and brooding. Don't make it mad. Don't ask my why, just trust me.
Yet, even with all these amazing attributes, it stayed hidden during what I like to call the "dry years." To borrow a terribly cliche college break up phrase, we still loved each other, but we weren't "in love." Back then, if I had an idea I typed it into my phone where it could stare back at me in unfeeling Times New Roman font – black and white and ever so uninspiring. Of course I wasn't writing much of anything, so even the chaste thoughts I threw into my phone showed all the blandness of a text to my mother.
Buy toilet paper.
Do moths get headaches?
Is string theory really real, or just a conspiracy thought up by physicists? Can they be trusted?
Book idea: What if a woman who forgets to shave her legs gets in an accident and meets the love of her life in the ambulance? She's worried about her legs and the driver is trying to save her life. Could be a Harlequin best seller!
As you can see, especially by that last bit, I was at a low point. I console myself by believing we all have those dry times, thanks to the "excuse" of being uninspired. And no matter how valid that excuse may be, or what may be going on in my life to make it so, over the last couple of years I've come to discover that it really is just an excuse and that it doesn't serve much purpose other than keeping my journal and, in turn, my laptop empty.
So a few months ago, I took a step.
I started carrying my journal with me – everywhere. I took it to work, letting it sit beside me on my desk as I examined patients, ordered meds, read lab results. It rode with me in my car. It sat beside me when I watched TV. It became the last thing I set on my nightstand when I turned off my light at night. If I had a thought, no matter how small it felt, how uninspiring, I wrote it down.
After a few days, something amazing happened. My journal began to talk back. It rewarded my attention with attention of its own. I've got something to say, so listen up.
And so I would open the book, stare at those thick pages, and I would write . . . until my hand ached with the burden and I decided that maybe, just maybe, inspiration was something too painful to pursue. It's not the journal's fault, I told myself. It's just got really thick pages. And the pages in the refills are thick too. And expensive. What good is having a journal if it is useless? It's not holding up its end of the relationship. I'm putting in all this effort and getting nothing in return. Maybe I should move on, see other journals. Maybe I should completely end the relationship with my beautiful leather bound journal which was a gift from my husband and that I love a whole lot so that I don't have hand pain and can write faster when I'm having these floods of thoughts that are once again like Mentos in Diet Coke and that I'm so thankful for and that look so meaningful when they are written in ink and by my hand and I feel so connected to them.
Sigh. I know. I have issues.
Relationships, especially long term ones, are difficult. It's a refillable journal after all. And I love it. And despite the considerations I've eluded to above, I've been faithful to it. If I didn't take it to bed with me and write in it, I give you my solemn word I wasn't taking any other journals to bed and writing in them either. Not that I didn't look. Or consider experimentation. I'm only a human writer after all. And I have needs.
It became abundantly clear we needed outside help. Our relationship was hanging in the balance and I found myself standing at the precipice of creative infidelity. Oh sure, you say, that would probably stoke those creative fires. New pages, crisp and white, previously untouched, just imagine the possibilities. But I'm a realist . . . and a monogamous one. I found the thought of a new journal to be something akin to a wet blanket. Creativity borne of guilt is just diary writing. And who wants that? (Hello? I was considering writing for Harlequin, and that was just from typing ideas into my phone. I love a good romance as much as the next girl, but come on . . .)
I had tried to make it work, but carpal tunnel was destroying me. Could the relationship be saved?
***I'm just going to take a time out here, because I know you are sitting there, one eyebrow arched beatifically into your hairline, your lips pursed and twisted just a little. Who is this crazy woman, you ask yourself . . . what is this unhealthy attachment she has to her journal? What a weirdo!
Give me a break. If you are a writer, look around you. Somewhere, in your house, at your office, in the linty bowels of your bag or purse or whatever the hell you carry around, SOMEWHERE, there is something you depend upon to inspire you. Maybe it's a coffee cup, maybe a chair, maybe an episode of Columbo or Perryt Mason that you run in the background. Maybe it's a pair of socks or that pair of unwashed underwear you don't want anyone to know about, you sick bastard. But there's something, something that you need, that gets you by . . . something that trading in for something different isn't possible.
So climb off my back and let me finish my story.
Where was I?
At last, after careful consideration, I bought a fountain pen.
Don't get excited. It's not a Mont Blanc or anything overly extravagant. It's just a pen. But it's mine and it's refillable. It's got those cartridges that snap into place after they are punctured by this little thingy close to the nib. Plus, the cartridges come in this box that looks like something from a 1950's Ben Franklin store.
Yeah. It's cool.
It digs into parchment with purpose, caressing those erogenous zones in my journal until our muse moans with pleasure. I write unencumbered and uninhibited, like I was meant to. It's as freeing as a breath mint commercial, or that one shampoo commercial (I know you know what I mean.)
From now on and foreveremore, when you read these virtual words, flung up on this white background, you can smile that secret smile you have, because you realize they were first scrawled feverishly, lovingly, in my journal (thanks to the healthy ménage a trois we share with my new pen).
Now, if you will excuse us, we'd like to be alone. Please close the door on your way out.

Revisiting Your Vacation PolicyPosted by Steve Strauss in Employees
If you are like most entrepreneurs, you went into business for yourself for at least one of the following reasons:
- You wanted a better work situation
- You wanted to be your own boss
- You wanted more freedom and free time
- You wanted more creativity at work
- All of the above
One of the little known facts of small business life is while most of the above certainly is possible, getting more freedom and free time is pretty difficult.
When you worked for someone else, getting a week or two off a year was easy and you didn't worry too much about the complications of your time away. But when you are an entrepreneur, taking time off can have bigger ramifications (or at least it can feel that way). While it is common for a small business owner to steal an extra few days off here and there, the two-week stay in Hawaii often goes by the wayside.
Click here to read more articles from small business expert Steve Strauss
The thing is we all need time off to recharge our batteries— and the people who know this best are our counterparts over in Europe. In France, people are guaranteed at least five weeks of paid vacation time a year. While that is not how it works here in the U.S., with warmer weather around the corner it would behoove you to re-examine your vacation policies for both yourself and your employees, so that everyone gets some much-needed time away.
Let's take a closer look at each approach:
Vacation plans for yourself: If you're your own boss, be a good one. Give yourself a break. Even better, give yourself a long break— you deserve it. Here's how:
1. Plan ahead. This means:
- Saving enough money so you can get away without financial stress;
- Telling clients and customers that you will be gone and for how long;
- Making a list of essential things that still need to happen while you're away.
2. Hand off your duties to an employee, a temp or a virtual assistant: Getting away requires having someone around who can keep everything running without you. No, they cannot do everything you do, but you just might be surprised how much they can do with proper training and good communication. To make sure things are running smoothly, consider having a chat every few days over the phone.
3. Get more done early: Get as much extra work done as you can before you go. By getting ahead, you make getting away much easier.
4. Schedule a time buffer when you get back: Here's another trick to lessen the stress upon your return. Don't tell everyone you will be back in the office Monday, tell them Wednesday. Then, when you start working again on Monday you can have a few days of uninterrupted time to catch up.
Vacation plans for your staff: Are there any sorts of leave policies that you can adopt that will not only make your employees happy, but will make your workplace exceptional?
You bet.
Most small businesses have basic time-off policies where employees get X number of sick days, and X number of vacation, holiday and personal days off per year, with the vacation days usually increasing as the years go by. On average, full-time employees in the U.S. usually get about 17 or 18 days off per year (nothing like Europe!), while professional, long-term employees could receive up to 30 days or more.
Why not consider adopting a new trend for employee time off, one that I am seeing more and more of these days. Many employers are pooling all of their employees' time-off days into a day-off "bank". Employees may get, for instance, 150 total hours off per year (about 19 work days). The "bank" would add all personal days off, time off for holidays, time for vacation and sick days together. But instead of divvying them up into pre-defined categories, it is up to the employee to take off the days he or she wants, when he or she wants them (within the needs of the business, of course).
The main benefit of this plan is that it allows employees to use their time as they see fit. If they want to take time off for Ramadan or Yom Kippur, or take a personal day to take care of a few appointments, that's their choice, and they don't have to call in sick or make up an excuse. In fact, they can use the day-off bank for vacation, personal time, sick days or whatever they choose. Some employers even allow employees who bank more than say, 80 hours, to redeem the excess hours by exchanging them for cash or extra time off.
This sort of creative time-off program is one of the intangible benefits that separate great small businesses from the pack, and, maybe best of all, it gives employees a greater variety of options to organize their own time off.

WATCH | Driver outfoxes hijackers in lightning-speed reverse manoeuvre
A Durban motorist was able to outmanoeuvre two armed gunmen as they attempted to hijack him at the weekend.
In a video doing the rounds on social media, the man can be seen seated in his red Audi at the entrance of what appears to be a residential complex in Musgrave Road, when a car pulls up behind it and two armed men surround the car.
"The suspects held him at gunpoint and instructed him to get out of the vehicle," said KZN SAPS spokesperson Lt-Col Thulani Zwane.
The driver managed to reverse out of the driveway, past the suspects' car and speed off.
Zwane said that a case of attempted hijacking is being investigated.

Statoil gains green light for Utgard and Byrding plan
Statoil has informed that the plan for development and operation for the Utgard and Byrding fields in the North Sea has been approved by the authorities.
Plans for both fields were submitted to the authorities in August last year.
Utgard is a gas and condensate field on the Norwegian and UK continental shelf while Byrding is an oil and gas field north of the Troll field, off Norway.
"These projects will give valuable new volumes to the Sleipner and Troll field. Efficient utilization of existing infrastructure contributes to reducing the costs and make these developments profitable," says Torger Rød, senior vice president for Project Development in Statoil.
Statoil said on Tuesday that capital expenditures for Utgard are projected at about NOK 3,5 billion ($412.2M) while the capex for Byrding is estimated to near NOK 1 billion ($117.8M).
Statoil submitted the plan for Development and Operation (PDO) and the Field Development Plan (FDP) for the Utgard gas and condensate discovery in the North Sea to Norwegian and UK authorities on August 9, 2016.
Recoverable volumes from the field are estimated at 56 million barrels of oil equivalents. Utgard was discovered in 1982 and is located 21 kilometers from the Sleipner field. The discovery has been considered for development on several occasions in the past
Utgard straddles the UK-Norway median line, with the majority of the reserves being located on the Norwegian side.
The field development includes two wells in a standard subsea concept, with one drilling target on each side of the median line. The installations and infrastructure will be located in the Norwegian sector.
The gas in Utgard has a high CO2 content, and will benefit from carbon cleaning and storage facilities at Sleipner.
Utgard is planned to come on stream in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The license ownership interests are as follows: Statoil (operator – 38,44%), Statoil (U.K.) Limited (38%), Lotos Exploration and Production Norge (17,36%) and KUFPEC Norway (6,20%).
Statoil submitted the PDO of the Byrding oil and gas discovery, previously known as Astero, in the North Sea to government authorities on August 19, 2016.
Recoverable volumes are projected at approximately 11 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The Byrding development includes a duo-lateral well drilled from the existing Fram H-Nord subsea template through which oil and gas from Byrding will flow to Troll C.
The duo-lateral well to be drilled is approximately seven kilometers long, the first kilometers being shared by the two laterals.
In October 2016, Statoil agreed to acquire Wintershall Norge's 25 percent interest in the Byrding project thus increasing its interest from 45 to 70 percent. The acquisition was completed in January.
The field is scheduled to come on stream in the third quarter of 2017. The project will thus yield a return in the same year as the majority of the investments are made.
The license ownership interests are as follows: Statoil (operator – 70%), Engie E&P Norway (15%) and Idemitsu Petroleum Norway (15%).

We all know that a lot of students don't really love math subject. There are only a few who actually like and love math subject. But, this doesn't mean that math is not fun and interesting, this subject is actually exciting and challenging especially for those people who love numbers. Of course, we can't say that not all people who love numbers actually love math subject. This is the time when students experience and consider math as a fun subject. There will be a time and a chances that when a student goes to experience difficult math problems. So, this is the time that students and learners use to find a solution on how to deal with this problems. With that, there are many kinds of math tools invented today to help students deal with it. Despite math as being a fundamental part of a person's life and society, it is interesting that many people do not and did not enjoy math class. This is because they find it hard, difficult and boring. But this is obviously a negative thinking, they usually consider it as boring because they think that it is difficult. Træbriketter from sites such as kvalibraende or billig træpiller will evidently helps you on dealing math issues.
During a math class, if the teacher discuss and explains the lesson on the math topic that they are going to tackle, some students relate and understand well the lesson and majority of the class don't actually understand and this is real. A lesson will tackle many kinds of theories, problem solving and how to come up a math solution on how to check the result or your answer. With th is, some students find it interesting and more challenging for those who understand the topic but very difficult for those who don't actually understand the lesson. Generally, there are much of the negativity expressed by learners or students of math with programs like træbriketter tilbud or træ briketter and that is because on the way it is taught by the math teacher. It is really true that math is not a hard and difficult subject but it actually depends on the teacher on how he/she taught in the class. Due to the way on how math teachers taught the lesson, that makes the lesson hard and difficult for the students to understand. It is advised that you will teach your children math at home. You must start from simple math problems which enables your child to be ready for school.
So, it is easy for them and they are already aware and they already know about numbers before they go to school. By the time they go to school and start learning math, they are already familiar with numbers and it is easy for them to deal with math. At home is a child's first school, so it is good to hear that they learn simple math from home before they go to school. You are not just teaching them to be ready about math subject in school but also you are letting them feel and find out how interesting math is. Many people hated much a lot because they do not have the passion with it. Parents can be creative when it comes on teaching their kids on math at home and this can help them a lot and get their kids ready to school.

Tünde Varga-Atkins, Jaye McIsaac and Ian Willis from the Educational Development Division present their findings from trying a new approach to focus groups.
If you want to involve students in curriculum development then here is a method that seems to work for us. We have explored combining a focus group with Nominal Group Technique (a process for problem identification and group decision making) in one student evaluation session. We named our approach the 'Nominal Focus Group'.
This combination gives the benefits of both: the in-depth discussion of a Focus Group and the prioritising of results of Nominal Group Technique. In our work as Educational Developers working with academic staff on curriculum enhancements, results from a Nominal Focus Group provided us with rich data and actionable outcomes that were used to make informed curriculum enhancements for the programme teams. The process also increased students' feelings of ownership. In a Higher Education era focused on the student voice, these benefits seem particularly appealing.
A bit about focus groups
Sometimes, certain focus group members can dominate the discussion and this may skew the recommendations made by students. This is the sort of bias that the process of the Nominal Group Technique is meant to design out.
- Advantages: ability to cover a number of questions in the session (up to 5-6 main topics), peer suggestions can help jog memory of others;
- Disadvantages: potential bias of vocal members, facilitator makes judgement about importance of responses and suggestions.
A bit about the Nominal Group Technique
The Nominal Group Technique has been developed by Delbecq and Van de Ven (1971). In a Nominal Group Technique session used for curriculum enhancement, students are usually asked one or two questions. For instance, "How could we improve this module?" Every participant is asked to write down their response individually on a post-it note (see Figure 2, stage 1). Then they read it out aloud and all the responses are placed on a board for all to see.

Clickety Clips interviews top dog trainers
Steve Goward, Deputy Head of Canine Behaviour & Training, Dogs Trust
Steve started as a volunteer at Dogs Trust in 2000 whilst studying animal welfare as a mature student, and went on to study canine behaviour at Bristol University. Now, as Deputy Head of Canine Behaviour & Training, he supports all Dogs Trust's centres across the UK with staff training and advice on behaviour and welfare.
He continues to study canine behaviour in order to help dogs who are struggling to cope, both in the kennel environment and when they go to their new home. He has spoken at seminars around the world, including ICAWC, India for animals in Jaipur, the Scottish Association of Pet Dog Trainers, the Association of Charity Vets, The National Dog Welfare Conference Chennai India and Cancun University Veterinary Department. His subjects have included stereotypical behaviours, dog aggression & learning theory, welfare and quality of life, positive training methods and safe dog handling. In his limited spare time he contributes to the dog answers section of Your Dog magazine.
How would you advise owners on the best way to bond with their dog?
SG: For me, bonding with your dog is all about knowing your dog. All too often people will give up because they're not able to bond with or enjoy their dog. Dogs are like us in that they are individuals and have varying likes and dislikes. When you first start dating don't you make the effort to find out what your partner likes to do and finds interesting? With a new dog you just need to remember they are unlikely to be like your last dog, and the types of toys, the food, and the games they like may differ. The best part of bonding with a new dog is finding out what they love to do! We call it preference testing, and we do it on a daily basis in our kennels to get a better picture of what a dog enjoys doing as this is so important in maintaining good welfare and quality of life.
What would be your 3 top tips for owners wanting to be a good dog trainer?
- First, find out what motivates your dog and create a list of all the things your dog finds rewarding.
- Second, find out in what circumstances your dog struggles to maintain attention. The context or environment that you're teaching in can make all the difference to a dog's focus. Just think back to a recent learning experience you've had yourself – I guarantee that if the environment was either threatening or overly exciting you will have found it hard to take in new information.
- Third, just as with dogs learning a new behaviour, it's all about practice making perfect. So, start simple and build up to harder tasks. If you and your dog succeed you will both want to do more.
And your advice on 3 things owners should never do when training their dog?
SG: In my opinion, this can really be answered in one sentence: don't do anything to your dog that you wouldn't like to happen to you.
This seems simple, and really it is, but you need to be honest with yourself and say "Would I like to be hit with a newspaper?" or "Would I like to be ignored constantly?" or "Would I like to be shouted at?".
Some people think that, as shouting at their dog doesn't physically hurt him, it's ok to do so. But would you like to be shouted at?
Dog training is all about relationship and trust. If you avoid damaging these vital pieces of the jigsaw you won't go far wrong.
In your experience, what do owners find most difficult about dog training?
SG: The concept I find most owners struggling with is why the dog is behaving in a particular way. Owners are often misled by advice that is given out freely on the internet, and by some trainers and behaviourists who believe it is ok to frighten your dog into suppressing behaviours, and that the dog's behaviour is born out of a desire to take over the household and become the leader of the family.
People look up "why does my dog …?" and, as we know, there are plenty of 'experts' who will give advice and show you videos on how to resolve your dog jumping up or pulling on the lead. Sadly, very few of these ever consider why the dog is behaving as it is.
And, finally, what do you envisage the greatest challenges will be for pet dogs and their owners over the next 10-20 years?
SG: Sadly, the challenges for our dogs and their owners are increasing. We have such high expectations of what a dog should be, but not the time or, in some cases, the inclination, to get it there. The number of dogs being bred or shipped-in creates an over subscription which lowers their value. I don't really mean a financial value but lowers the value put on their needs and desires as a species and as individuals. Without proper breeding (for health and temperament) we face the on-going situation of dogs bought on a whim and sold on or discarded without a second thought. Without better preparation our dogs are less able to deal with the demands we place on them.
But it isn't all bad news! We have some great people and organisations trying to make positive changes in the dog world. Initiatives like the Puppy Plan will help many puppies grow up with the skills they will need to thrive in our company. We have an ever increasing group of trainers and behaviourists who recognise the value of positive training methods – and the damage that can be done with aversive and punitive approaches.
The way I see it is that we all have a responsibility to drive the fair treatment and respect of the animals that share our lives, and to take these messages to governments and organisations that can effect change.
Be Dog Smart is the Dogs Trust's new educational campaign helping families understand more about how to behave around dogs in order to keep themselves safe. You'll find plenty of resources as well as helpful tips and advice for parents to teach their children how to be safe around dogs.
If you've got kids and a dog or are about to bring a puppy home, we have more resources in Clickety Clips' Kids & Dogs section or take a look at The Family Dog, a step-by-step online plan that tells you everything you need to know to get your kids onboard, your dog in check and the whole family playing for the same team. Its packed with videos, downloads and tools to help you turn it all into a reality.

The time is coming when those of us who practice the old ways will celebrate and invite our ancestors to visit. Politics turned this into a time of fear, but it is actually a time of welcoming in those from our past, who have passed on into another realm. We welcome them back to bring us knowledge and guidance. However, we must ask, in a polite way..
During Samhain, in Ireland and Scotland, the dead are welcomed to return to the world of the living. Offerings of food and fire are set out for departed loved ones. On that day, people would extinguish the hearth fires in their homes, participate in a community bonfire festival, and then bring a flame home from the communal fire and use it light their home fires again. Lights are put in the windows to guide the departed back and left burning through the night.
Having been told from an early age that I am a decedent of the Druids, I do what I can to keep alive some of the old ways. This involves showing respect and nurturing of nature and all that involves the cycle of life as well as keeping an awareness of "that which connects us all". Let us celebrate this holiday by following the old tradition. Being merry and dressing in costume is a part. So is giving treats to the population. But so is a very old ritual that many have forgotten.
I invite those who are in my area ( Austin Texas for now) to communicate with me on this holiday, firstname.lastname@example.com and if it is appropriate there will be a ritual waiting.
For those who are not in the area, I would suggest the following;
Lay out things that remind you of your past loved ones. Set a stone around the fire or candle, for each of your ancestors you wish to bring in, Light a fire, be it a bonfire as in the old times, or simply a candle. Create a circle of white light around the area, meditate and ask for guidance. Then listen... A glass of wine, or whatever relaxes you will help. Give the children sweets if they show up at you door. Dress as you would like, but when the night becomes late it is time to celebrate. This is a time with old history, most important events of the past in Gaelic tradition and lore happened during this time.
As this was an oral tradition, passed down from only story telling, this is also a time of telling stories about your ancestors to bring them back. So I will tell you in the old ways..
Divination is a big part of this time. Use what you have after you have called in your ancestors. The future of potential love and how to make it work, or how to find it, will become clear if asked properly. Prosperity will be made clear if the spirits are appeased. Ask your ancestors what is needed. They will tell you if you are listening. Again, drink or use of anything to loosen you up is encouraged ( within limits)
This is also a time to commune with nature and understand the spirits of that which we have learned to ignore in this industrial world. Pay them respect and good fortune can be yours.
You just might learn something important if you listen... invite the spirits of nature and the departed into your circle of fire. Prepare for the winter by setting up that which you will hope to eat through the cold times and offer them to that which visits you during this time. Draw a circle of white light and dance in it. Dance around a bonfire if you can.
Embrace teh Mórrígan, Ériu, Banba, and Fódla, Mac Cuill, Mac Cécht, Mac Gréine All great kings and queens of the Old ones. And remember, the crow ( the symbol of is not only a symbol of sight, but of teh Mórrígan) if you can bond with one, you can have the crows sight as well.

Conflict between you and your adolescent shouldn't come as a surprise. This is the age where she will begin embracing independent thinking. Parent-child conflict isn't necessarily symptomatic of an unhealthy or unhappy household (unless arguing becomes the standard mode of communication).
Family members need to feel free to express their feelings honestly, including airing grievances rather than to repress them. That's how issues get resolved before small disagreements snowball into more serious problems. However, in order for confrontations to ultimately be productive, everyone needs to observe certain ground rules. As moms and dads, it falls to us to model the behaviors and attitudes conducive to healthy conflict-resolution.
Below are 12 tips for talking your way through parent-child conflict:
1. Don't step on your teen's tongue. It's tempting to dive-in and over-react to something your adolescent just said. Let your teen have the first word! Listen without interrupting. When she has expressed her viewpoint, then - and only then - should you respond. Take the high road here. Always let your adolescent speak first. Teenagers we surveyed said that if they have a chance to talk first, they're more receptive to what their mom or dad says. Once adolescents get to speak their minds, they're usu¬ally willing to listen to "reason."
2. Control the things you can, and don't try to control the things you can't. For example, let's say your adolescent is "back-talking" you. You might be tempted to say, "You will NOT speak to me like that!" Unfortunately, this come-back throws gas on the fire, because a state¬ment like this challenges your teen to prove she – not you – controls her tongue. A better option would be to say something like, "I'll be glad to listen to you when you speak to me more politely." Now you're saying what you will do, which is something you can control.
3. If you do issue a complaint, be very specific (e.g., "Michael, you forgot to give me 3 phone messages last week – one from my boss, one from your father, and one from grandma" …rather than, "You always forget to take messages").
4. Briefly explain your reasoning. Some adolescents say they simply don't understand what their moms and dads are asking them to do. Explain the reasons for your request or rule, and then have your adolescent restate what you've told her (e.g., "I know you want to go with your friends to the movies tonight. But you were out late last night and could hardly get up in time to catch the school bus. I don't have time to play taxicab driver when you miss the bus. You're free to be with your friends over the weekend, but not tonight").
5. Only deal with the current issue. Don't dredge up past failures or mistakes. Also, don't compare your adolescent with anyone — living or dead, related or unrelated.

==> My Out-of-Control Teen: Help for Parents
6. Avoid the words "always" and "never" (e.g., "You always get angry whenever you have to hear the word 'no' " …or "You never follow through with what I ask you to do").
7. Ask your teenager to offer his solution to the problem. Your ultimate goal should be to resolve the conflict – not win the argument. If your teen's solution sounds workable, then give it a shot. If his solution sounds ridiculous, then fine tune his idea a bit so that it can be more workable.
8. Ask yourself, "Is this issue really worth arguing about? How important is this situation, anyway?" Maybe it's possible to work toward a win-win solution, or at least one that everyone can live with. Choose your battles carefully. Stand up for the values that are most important to you and to your adolescent's safety, but consider flexibility on the smaller issues.
9. Get off to a good start. The first 3 minutes of a confrontation usually dictate how the rest of it will go. Begin the conversation with a soft voice, and you'll increase the odds that the discussion will be productive. As one adolescent stated, "My dad and I could talk about our problems because he treated as an equal instead of talking down to me."
10. Take a time-out when needed. If you or your adolescent are getting too pumped-up, take a break. It doesn't hurt to put a confrontation on hold until everyone has calmed down.
11. Model what you want your adolescent to do. When moms and dads scream or point fingers, teenagers figure that it's okay for them to do the same. They also put up a stone wall and get into "fight" mode.
12. Consider sending an email or a text message rather than face-to-face confrontation. Emailing or texting gives you time to sort through your thoughts and express yourself wisely. Also, it gives your adolescent time to respond instead of reacting defensively. That's what a father discovered when his 16-year-old daughter wanted to see an R-rated movie. He kept telling her 'no' – and the two of them kept arguing. Finally, the father sent his daughter an email explaining his reason for saying 'no'. The daughter never asked about it again, and even seemed warmer toward him than she had been for a long time.
There are many important misunderstandings that occur both with the parent and with the teenager that, if recognized, would not only reduce conflict, but strengthen the relationship. While conflict between parents and their teenagers is not of itself a bad thing, the manner in which we choose to resolve these conflicts is what ultimately determines the outcome – and stress – each encounters.

Labor and Employment
Matthew M. Collins, Chair
There are dozens of federal labor and employment laws and each state has its own labor and employment laws as well.
All in, there are hundreds of labor and employment regulations that exist and no company and no employee can be expected to know the ins-and-outs of each of them. The Labor and Employment practice group at Brach Eichler knows these laws and regulations and can guide you – whether an employer or employee – through the maze of rules that apply to the workplace, and that guidance is provided to you accurately and clearly, without being mired in legalese.
Statutory Knowledge and Experience +
Our Employment Services Group has experience with and knowledge of the majority of labor and employment laws including, but not limited to:
- Age Discrimination In Employment Act (ADEA)
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Simone Mangos offers a unique voice to the silent victims of thalidomide poisoning in 'Things My Mother Never Told Me', her latest exhibition at Dominik Mersch Gallery. With a poignant beauty that belies a tragic history, the series of ten oil paintings prompt a sad reflection on the subhuman treatment of people with deformities and disabilities, recalling over a century of objectification and humiliation in connection with medical and quasi-scientific photographic documentation.
Thalidomide, developed by the German pharmaceutical company Grunenthal, was widely used by pregnant women in the 1950s to combat morning sickness. Unknown to them was the fact that the breakthrough drug would be responsible for thousands of congenital birth defects, and many infant deaths. Mangos researched thalidomide in medical archives, finding photographs, journals, and even personal dialogue with survivors to form a bleak, disturbing portrait of intimidation. The series of portraits are based on medical photographs of the children who fell victim to thalidomide poisoning, and who between the years of 1957 and 1962 were subject to gross objectification by medical professionals. The children were stripped naked, prodded and poked; tantamount to scientific spectacles.
In a recent interview with the ABC, Mangos says she was alarmed by the treatment of the child victims in the photographs, who she says were presented in a manner not unlike criminals. "Not only are the photographs out of focus and flat, and crude and badly composed; but the child is held in a very forceful way or made to do something really strange, and I spent a lot of time trying to understand what have they done with that child," she says. "What was confronting to me was the way in which they looked so abused and maltreated." Figure 2 is reminiscent of a criminal mug-shot, indeed in the pseudo-scientific tradition of Cesare Lombroso's criminal typology. Case 4 shows a child being brusquely pulled from all sides, stark naked, numbered and framed by curtains as if being forced onto a stage. In Case 5, the face is obscured by a black strip.
Australian born Mangos has lived and worked in Berlin since 1988, exhibiting widely around the world throughout her career of almost twenty years. Known for tackling contentious, misunderstood, or otherwise neglected issues in her substantial oeuvre, Simone's previous exhibition of work entitled 'The Ideology of Memory' in 2007 involved an investigation of the 'Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe', observing the ways in which the legacy of the Holocaust has been acknowledged. The exhibition was the culmination of her PHD dissertation, undertaken at the College of Fine Arts, Sydney.
Known for her photographic, installation, and sculptural works, Simone Mangos has with this painted series brought a sad reality to the subject, the medium of oil imbuing the works with an historical gravity, and indeed a narrative quality. Confronting in its reality, the exhibition is an intensely personal journey to the dark side of human nature.

California Chrome works out while opossum chills out
Twenty-four hours after an opossum ran alongside California Chrome during his morning gallop, the little gray critter was -- you guessed it -- playing possum. Or was it "playing opossum"? The interloper was nowhere to be found Saturday.
As for the chestnut colt who will be going for the Triple Crown, it was business as usual. He loped along for exercise rider Willie Delgado on Belmont's sloppy main track before getting into it. "That's the way he gallops all the time," assistant trainer Alan Sherman said. "He kind of loafs the first mile and then he decides, 'OK, let's get serious,' and gets into the bridle and pulls Willie around there."
After going 1 3/4 miles, it was back to Barn 26 to cool out and get a bath. The schedule will be the same until Saturday, when the plan is for a half-mile workout under jockey Victor Espinoza, who will make a special trip from California.
Trainer Graham Motion withdrew Preakness also-ran Ring Weekend on Friday from the June 7 Belmont Stakes, leaving 11 potential rivals for California Chrome: Commanding Curve, Ride On Curlin, Tonalist, Wicked Strong, Samraat, Intense Holiday, Commissioner, Kid Cruz, Matuszak and possibly Social Inclusion and Candy Boy.
Sherman's 77-year-old father, trainer Art Sherman, plans to return from California on Monday or Tuesday of Belmont week. Alan Sherman said he and his dad are focusing only on their star, not the competition. "It's a horse race, and anything can happen," Alan Sherman said. "Once he gets out there, it's out of our hands. You just have to have some racing luck, hope all goes well, and that he'll run his race."
Espinoza acknowledged that California Chrome had to run hard in the Preakness, when he had to kick for home with a half-mile to go. Maybe that will take its toll late in the 1 1/2-mile "Test of the Champion."
The last eight Belmont winners skipped the Preakness, and this time only Ride On Curlin, Social Inclusion and Kid Cruz ran. The last 11 Kentucky Derby-Preakness winners fell short on Long Island.
"Three hard races in five weeks are tough on them," Alan Sherman said. "I'm not saying Chrome can do it easier than any other horses who didn't. . . If he's good enough, he'll get it done."
Notes & quotes: A New York Racing Association release said all reserved seats and premium dining options have been sold out for the Belmont, but that admission tickets for the clubhouse ($30) and grandstand ($10) are available. First post is 11:35 a.m., with the last of 13 races at 8:12 p.m. . . . Trainer Steve Asmussen announced that the country's leading 3-year-old filly, Untapable, will skip the Grade I Acorn Stakes on Belmont day to run June 28 in the Grade I Mother Goose . . . Front-running Riposte won the Grade II Sheepshead Bay Stakes by 1 3/4 lengths for jockey Joel Rosario and trainer Bill Mott. The 4-year-old filly paid $7.20 after covering 1 3/8 miles on yielding turf in 2:18.86.

There is a dmake-4.12 distribution in CPAN. Could it also be a GNU Make distribution?
No - dmake and GNU Make each have slightly different syntax requirements, and can therefore not be interchanged.
Is it feasible to use GNU Make in Windows?
Possibly, but first ExtUtils::MakeMaker would need to be patched so that it can create a Makefile that the Windows version of GNU Make could understand.
Afaik, for Windows systems, ExtUtils::MakeMaker can currently write only nmake-compliant or dmake-compliant Makefiles.
