Brandon Harris from Perennial Mortgage Group is here to answer a few common questions about credit scores.
1. Why are credit scores important to the loan process? Credit scores give the lender a history of your past, including how you pay your bills and how you work with other lenders or credit card companies. Your credit score lets the lender know if you are reliable enough to be approved for a mortgage.
2. What is the best credit score you can have? You can have a credit score as high as 900. However, any score over 760 is an excellent credit score. Also, if your credit score is higher than 760, it won't necessarily impact your interest rate any further; 760 is a great score on its own.
3. What kind of credit score do you need in order to obtain a loan? A lot of people think that you need a credit score of 780 or above to get a home. However, you can actually have score in the low 600s and get a home. Typically, your score should be around 640, but Brandon has worked with clients in the 620 range before.
4. What are some reasons for a low credit score? Late payments will bring your credit score down, as well as not using your credit card enough. Medical collections can also drag down your credit score; on the bright side, medical collections are fairly easy to remove from your credit report.
"Medical collections are fairly easy to remove from your credit report."
5. How can you raise your credit score? First of all, catch up on your payments. Once you have a strong history of making those payments on time, your score will improve. You can also speak with a credit repair agency. Sometimes, if you have a friend or family member with a great credit score, you can become an authorized user on their credit card in order to build good credit for the future.
6. How often can you check your credit score? There is no real limit on the number of times you can check your credit. Brandon recommends going to AnnualCreditReport.com once a year to check your score for free. However, if you go to several different banks in a short amount of time to check your credit, you can get a hit on your credit score. Technically, you should still be allowed to shop around if you are looking for a lender. Just don't look at too many.
7. When does a lender check your credit score, anyway? That is always going to be one of the first things that your lender does. After the lender collects all of your information, they will get your credit score so they can put together a pre-qualification letter for you.
If you have any other questions about your credit score or the loan process, you can reach Brandon at 919.848.4748 or email@example.com. As always, if you have any real estate questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would be happy to help you!

I want to share something that is very close to my heart.
I want to share about the power that every person has to do incredible things. That we do not always access this power is undeniable BUT the fact that this power exists inside every human being is irrefutable.
Our real estate businesses will be massively enhanced when you and I learn to access this power.
Furthermore if you run a team or an organization… your business will go through the roof when you empower your own team members to access their power AND build their stellar reputation within their local community.
I like to call this power "human equity" AND I like to call the ability we each have to build relationships "relational equity."
I put together a very short video above for team leaders and brokers where I briefly discuss the latent power that exist within every team member in your organization.
There are two truly great things about social media in terms of your real estate business:
- It gives every person the opportunity to express themselves in an incredible way and make a positive difference in their community.
- It allows every person to build a powerful relational network that generates large numbers of referrals.
If you have a team of people working with you right now, then just imagine the incredible growth your business will see IF each person is equipped to leverage the social media channels in their own unique way.
Synergistic success occurs when every member is empowered to achieve more.
I've worked hard to develop systems and trainings that unlock the power of the individual in a way that benefits the entire organizations. Our strategies and training methods are unique, they have been battled-tested on hundreds of real estate professionals… they are proven… they work.
I am inviting Team Leaders and Brokers to book a free one-on-one strategy with me below — This will be a low pressure idea creation session where I can help you see what is possible.
To Your Success~

Florida Tech Panthers Finish 16th At 2018 IRA National Championships
By Florida Tech // June 4, 2018
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – After canceling the 2V8 and 3V8 Finals due to adverse weather conditions, Florida Tech's varsity eight crew took 4th in the Third Level Final to help complete the 2018 IRA National Championships with a 16th place overall finish as a team.
"It was a shame that the later races were canceled, but the conditions were not going to improve," said head coach Jim Granger.
"We all wanted to see how our 2V and 3V faired with its Finals, but participant safety comes first."
In the Varsity Eight Third Level Final, Florida Tech's V8 Jaiden Oropallo (cox), Nikola Selakovic, Matas Lukoseuicius, Jaime Rus Alba, Dziugas Nienius, Zilvinas Visockas, Ljubo Gavric, Phillip Machen, and Mohamed Ben Sidhom rowed against Cornell, Pennsylvania, Navy, St. Joes, and George Washington for a 4th place finish. Under the poor weather conditions and choppy water, the Panthers bow crossed the finish lined ahead of St. Joes and George Washington with a course time of 7:12.403.
"I was very happy with how the 1V progress through the weekend", Granger said.
"We made some switches after SIRA's and I feel that they gained a lot of confidence in the new lineup with each pass. We finished two places higher than last year, which wasn't easy given the quality of the competition. I would like to also give a special thanks to our seniors Chirs Field, Corine Roberts-Gapinski, and Phil Machen for all they have done for us over the course of their careers here at Florida Tech."
The Championships mark the end of the Panthers 2017-18 season, as the team now looks forward to the start of its next campaign on the water, which will begin sometime this fall.

Groundbreaking Ceremony
mindyourmind recently interviewed The Grounbreaking Ceremony, from central Pennsylvania, upon their new self-released EP, "Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do". When asked where the name for the new album came from and what they were told they can't do, they said it was "a result of the obstacles that can get in the way in life that try to hold you back. You can't let anyone stop you from what you feel is right in your heart. No matter what". Dubbed as "THE hardest working band" on the Vans Warped Tour this past summer, by lead singer JR Wasilewski of Less Than Jake, these guys are all about following their dreams and making them a reality, without letting anything or anyone stand in the way.
In this interview, we talked to lead singer Jonnie Baker about the tragic loss of a dear friend to suicide and the hard emotions that come with such a loss. Thoughtful and honest, when asked what advice he might have for someone dealing with a similar loss, Jonnie says, "It's ok to hurt, and it's ok to grieve, and it's ok to mourn -- but beyond that, it's ok to seek help, and to reach out and talk to someone. It's ok to move on, and it's ok to keep living your life, and keep pursuing your dreams. And at the same time, it's ok to remember sometimes and cry. Never underestimate the power of a good cry into a pillow, followed by a long nap or a long night's sleep after that."
Thank you Jonnie for sharing your stories with us. <3
Can you tell us a bit about how the band got started?
Dirk actually started this band right after he left high school, and it was something that just wasn't taken very seriously until recently. It was just a fun thing to do, but eventually working so hard and not trying to jump to the next level, and not knowing how, makes being in a band pretty bleak to look forward to. So about two or three years ago, we started directing our efforts into recording quality records on a DIY budget, and began pressing them ourselves and touring. We gained enough fans to start entering contests and began winning them, and it all sort of piled on from there.
Your music has been described as being alternative/pop punk. How would you describe your sound to someone who hasn't yet heard your music?
That's actually a pretty good description, but really I think we're identified less and less as a "pop punk" band nowadays. When we (in the band) think of "pop punk" -- we're thinking of blink 182, Fall Out Boy's earlier records, New Found Glory, Homegrown, Hidden In Plain View, MXPX, and bands like that -- the Drive-Thru (records) Era, as we refer to it in our band. Pop Punk is kind of the new hardcore now, when you think about it. It's blast beats and scream singing, breakdowns, and gang chants. It just sort of evolved into something that isn't what we used to call pop punk (man, that makes us sound old). If anything now, we're more of a pop rock band, and we get likened to bands like Mayday Parade, All Time Low, and Yellowcard. Ultimately, when you ask us, we just say we sound like us. There's so many influences and things that come to mind, we'd probably say, "If you haven't heard us yet, pull up a chair, and put on your favorite headphones, sit outside and relax and listen to the record and see what you think it sounds like."
I've read that following your dreams is something that is very important to the band. Does your new album "Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do" (released this past July) have anything to do with this theme?
Yeah, that's a big part of the record. That and LOST. We're all big fans of the TV series, and that saying (Don't tell me what I can't do) was really something that began to reverberate within our band over the past year or so. There's just so much in the music industry, and so much in life really, that can be daunting or make you unsure of yourself and what you're doing. The record's opening track "Eleventh and Bleecker" is really all about that. People come, and people go, but at the end of the day, you have to live your dream for YOU, and not for someone else. Timing is everything, and sometimes you'll find that you arrived to where you wanted to be a little later than you had hoped, and sometimes if you're lucky, you get there before you thought you would -- and sometimes even THAT'S unfortunate because you just aren't ready to be there yet.
Also where does the inspiration for the title come from? What did someone tell you that you can't do?
Again, this is really less a byproduct of people directly telling us we can't do something (though in some cases it has happened), and more a result of the obstacles that can get in the way in life that try to hold you back. You can't let anyone stop you from what you feel is right in your heart. No matter what. Life has been seemingly ganging up on us for the last two years or so (and admittedly, we're sure a lot of people feel like that from time to time), and it just seems like it's all there to tell you, "You can't do that," or, "You can't do this." We say, "To Hell with that. Don't tell me what I can't do."
What are some of your musical inspirations and influences?
A lot of what inspires us musically and influences us comes from what our fans are listening to. Just like most people don't listen to the same genre of music ONLY or with prejudice anymore, we don't really want to write music of one genre ONLY. At the end of the day, we're four dudes with musical influences that really range from hardcore, to pop, and everything in between. How do you marry that really, other than deciding that some things sound good together, and some things don't. It can't always be about implementing a perfected vision of what you want a song to be. Sometimes you just have to see where the music takes you -- and we hope that's something that people get from us when they hear our music.
Your lyrics are honest, heartfelt and full of meaning; is there one person who writes the songs, or do you write them together as a band?
I (Jonnie), write the majority of the songs. A former member wrote "Don't Be A Dream" when he was still a part of the band, but every other song on the record's lyrics were written by me. I appreciate hearing you feel that they're honest, heartfelt and full of meaning. I know sometimes certain lyrics can come across as juvenile or trite, but really, every line is meant to be analyzed. Words come with a great deal of gravity behind them, and I think people lose sight of that sometimes in lieu of wanting to sound witty or clever -- and there's nothing wrong with that, either. But sometimes I like to write so that every line or sentence is meant to be reflected upon.
I've read that your song "Psalm 51" was written for a friend who has passed away. In addition to dedicating a song to him/her, how else have you dealt with the passing and with the process of moving forward?
This is a pretty good question, and one that I wish came about more often. My friend Chris passed away on February 29th this year because he committed suicide. It's really hard for me to deal with that some days, because when we were around each other, we kept each other anchored. We weren't out of control or reckless or anything like that, but we both chose to live with our hearts on our sleeves, and it often got us into a lot of trouble with ourselves. I don't think I'll ever truly move forward from losing him, because I honestly and truly in my heart know that if I was still around him in Pennsylvania (I moved to St Louis almost a year ago now), that I would have been able to prevent his suicide, just by being there in the first place. The night of his passing he had been drinking and drove home. He was in an accident that set everything into motion, and the reality plain and simply is that if I was home in Pennsylvania still, I would have been out drinking with him, because I always was out drinking with him when we went out. And I always was the one that drove. It's a weight that a lot of people tell me I don't have to bear, and that it's not really my fault, but you can't shake what you know to be true in your gut. I loved Chris as a brother, and I'll never truly be the same without him. I was a good friend to him while he was alive and we were around each other, and it's not like it was wrong of me to choose to move to St Louis (and believe me, I never would have left had I known this was going to happen). I just know in my heart that if I had still been there, things would have been different. I visit his grave every time we pass through the area, and I chase my dreams with more vigour knowing that he will no longer be able to go after his. It's almost like I have some making up to him to do for all the years him and I wasted not going after our dreams with more intensity.
Based on your experiences, what is some advice that you can give to teenagers who are also going through a tough time from the loss of a friend or family member?
Don't be afraid to talk to someone. There are people that care about you, in more ways than you will ever be able to fathom or imagine. If you can't get ahold of someone you love, seek help from a professional. Life is so short, and truly, it should be spent with the people you love and care about as often as possible. It's ok to hurt, and it's ok to grieve, and it's ok to mourn -- but beyond that, it's ok to seek help, and to reach out and talk to someone. It's ok to move on, and it's ok to keep living your life, and keep pursuing your dreams. And at the same time, it's ok to remember sometimes and cry. Never underestimate the power of a good cry into a pillow, followed by a long nap or a long night's sleep after that.
On your 2011 Vans Warped Tour, you drove 22 000 miles in 55 days! Can you tell us a little bit more about your travels and your favourite part of the tour? Also, do you have any funny or embarrassing stories to share?
Though we drove considerably less miles this year on the tour, due to a better tour routing, and a few less dates, we had a blast. That feeling you get when you camp in the backyard with your friends, or take a small 4 hour road trip to see your favorite band play -- that's what being on tour is like. It's the best thing we've ever done in our lives, and we know it. We fight like brothers sometimes, and we get tired, and exhausted, and hungry, and thirsty, and sunburnt, and worn out -- but it all disappears the moment you step on stage, or sign an autograph, or give a hug to someone that tells you your music moved them. Our favorite part of the tour, and touring in general, is meeting fans you've never met before, and seeing ones that have been there all along. Of course we love to perform, and of course we love signing stuff, but the fans -- our friends -- are what really matter. Honestly, most of the time when we play shows, we just do our thing, and walk off stage ready to hang with the people that came to see us. To know we have so many friends in so many places, and so many floors to crash on -- it's unlike anything you can ever imagine. Scott performing with All Time Low this past summer was awesome, and me filling in for Ian Watkins for the Lostprophets in St. Petersburg, Florida this year was awesome. There's just too many to count.
Any words or actions to live by?
Follow your dreams. All of them. Sometimes that has to be done one at a time, and sometimes if you're lucky, you can chase them all. But don't ever stop. Life is so short. What haven't you done today?

Our role at Professional Deputies is to manage the financial
affairs of our clients. However to do this effectively we need input
from the clients circle of care when it comes to their day-to-day
living. Thus we work closely and in partnership with Care Managers,
Social Workers, Residential Care Home Workers, Domiciliary Care
Workers, carers, families, and friends to ensure that our client's
needs and requests are met. Without this vital link up with the
afore mentioned workers there would not be that bridge between
ourselves and our clients. The easiest way to portray it, is to see
two distinct entities working towards the same goal of ensuring the
client receives the service they deserve:
Care Management – eg. Social Worker handling the day-to-day needs of the client. Say the client required or wanted a new sofa, the Social Worker would convey this message to ourselves. Professional Deputies – Handling all financial matters for the client. After receiving the relevant information about the sofa wanted by the client, we would subsequently then organise the sofa to be delivered to our client's house.
By working collaboratively with organisations like local authorities, our work will often complement the work done by these organisations, and brings advantages for both the client and the organisations we work with in the form of:
Assists the client's care plan for both the Social Worker and the client
Unravels financial assessments
Safeguarding Adults Policy criteria is met
Maximises income for both the client and the referring organisation
Enables the client to spend their money the way they desire

The National Landlords Association (NLA) has identified Zero Deposit as the only deposit replacement product worth recommending to its members.
The landlord association is endorsing Zero Deposit after entering a new agreement with the deposit replacement firm.
Zero Deposit's tenant's deposit replacement product is fast becoming a major part of renting for letting agents, landlords and tenants across the UK.
A number of letting agents are now signed up to Zero Deposit's FCA-regulated deposit replacement product, designed to reduce financial pressures on renters, while also offering greater security to landlords.
The insurance policy is underwritten by Great Lakes Insurance SE, part of the Munich Re Group, which the tenant acquires for a one off payment at the equivalent of one week's rent, no matter the length of the tenancy, plus an annual admin fee of £26.
Under the terms of the scheme, tenants remain accountable for any damage or unpaid rents, with any disputes over claims by the landlord handled by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), which has an exclusive partnership with Zero Deposit.
Jon Notley, co-founder and CEO of Zero Deposit, said: "Landlords have had a tough time of late and have found themselves having to navigate through a pretty hostile market, with ever more changes to regulation and the tax regime.
"One area offering some respite is the burgeoning deposit replacement market. Deposit replacement offers landlords the same security as a cash deposit with the added benefits of enhanced cover and shorter void periods.
"Our exclusive partnership with the NLA gives its member landlords peace of mind that by choosing Zero Deposit as their preferred deposit replacement provider, landlords are not only picking the market leader, but also the most secure product in the industry."
"We are already working with more than 2,100 letting agency offices across the UK and have covered over 11,000 tenancies to date. Adding the NLA to our list of partners is an exciting next step for us as we continue to expand and make Zero Deposit the go-to product in the sector."
The partnership with the NLA is part of a long line of affiliate activity designed to promote Zero Deposit and their best practices in industry.
Richard Lambert, CEO of the NLA, commented: "We looked very carefully at this market and considered the various products available.
"Zero Deposit is the best organisation to recommend to our members, because they have thought through and answered all the issues, and gave us the reassurance that both the company and the product were regulated by the FCA."

It is simple. The one reason you should outsource your bookkeeping is fraud. The news…
The Impact of future transactions on cash flow.
Question: How do you ensure you have enough cash to pay for bills that are future transactions and not recorded as a bill from a vendor (i.e. payroll, rent, etc.)
Answer: By using tools, such as a cash management app, that can see what the transactions are, when they are due, and their impact on cash flow.
Business owners must be fluid in thinking when cash is concerned. Cash management is critical when answering questions regarding operations and growth:
- I like to run with 30-45 days cash, what does it look like if I add future transactions?
- Can I afford to add a new employee to handle our growth?
- Can I upgrade my office equipment and be ok carrying a bit more debt?
- I would love to save a little interest expense. Can I make a principle payment this month?
What other liabilities are lurking that we cannot plan for? These are the questions we all face and yet the ability to adjust these outcomes or run "what if" scenarios is not readily or easily available in the accounting software we use. That is why we built Expex.
Expex, in part, is a cash management app that can show you the impact on cash flow and add future transactions to forecast cash receipts and business expenses. To facilitate the process, we add the ability to custom set cash management monitoring and alerts, see bank and available balance in real time and run reports to review with your accounting professional.
They say cash is king, we agree. Understanding where you stand and more importantly having the ability to manipulate the data by adding future transactions equates to a cash flow peace of mind.
Many small to medium sized companies have selected Expex as their cash flow partner. Ask for a demo and see how you can sleep better at night knowing you can pay your bills, grow your business or just plain have enough cash on hand.

Supernatural Riverside Project
A challenge that my group faced during this video is that one of our group members was gone on a trip during the period of the video making and due date. There was many Wi-Fi and electricity shortages on her trip that she didn't expect. This led her to not being able to get her tasks finished. Unfortunately, there was only 2 days left until the due date. Me and the other group member started coming up with solutions to this problem. First, we set a date to meet up at lunch. Then we divided the work up into parts. Writing the script and editing the video. communicating and talking about the situation really helped us get through this problem and get the project finished in time. Making this video was really fun, because we got to research about something we were interested in and let others know about it. Some useful tips about how to make an amazing video are not leaving it till the last minute, communicating and planning with your group, using different sources to research about your topic, and having fun! Overall, I'm very happy with the way our video turned out in the end. Even though we had a few bumps along the road, I was still able to communicate with my group and solve the problem.

Delta brought me back to Orlando yesterday where I spent most of what was left of the day unpacking and slogging through email and getting at least somewhat ready for today. BSF last night and then a quick grocery store stop on the way home and I was in bed before 11.
Returning to the office in about 90 minutes and I'm sure it will be both comfortable to be back into a familiar routine and a bit shocking to be so.
Global Impact Conference in Review:
Before I lose sight of these past 10 days, I want to make a list of all of the events from my time in Indianapolis. I'm going to do less commentating than I am capable of doing (and prone to do, actually). I'm flying without a net this morning, so it's likely that I'll remember things later that I'm forgetting now — when I do, I'll edit this blog entry.
Arrive in Indy.
Get dad delivered to Don and Virginia's house and get myself delivered to Fred and Mechelle's house before heading to 91st and College for the official opening event.
Orientation for the Global Impact Conference @ Faith with other missionaries who were featured this year and the missions committee and church staff. This orientation included dinner.
Happy Birthday to me.
Spent most of the day preparing for the events of the week. I really needed this day both to get stuff ready and to get myself ready for all that was to come. GREAT, relaxing time spent mostly at the kitchen table with stuff spread out from one end to the other.
Brad & Jennifer Smith's HOME group invited me to join them for pizza supper and to share about Wycliffe. This is a home group with a pack of young children. I loved being with them!
Picked up Dad; picked up Starbuck's at the Z'ville store; headed to Faith to set finish setting up my display. (INSERT PHOTO HERE).
9 AM – Traditional Worship hour – I gave a 2 minute "how I got into the game" testimony (along with 3 other missionaries who did similarly) and then ducked out to join the…
REVELATION Connections Class. They did a short lesson and then I got to share with them about Wycliffe and Bible translation. This was the first time I told what might be called "Fajak's Story" in the week — but certainly was not the last time.
Hung at my "booth" for part of the "between services" time before heading upstairs to join…
1st & 2nd Grade for a Bible translation and literacy activity. After about 30 minutes with that group, I swapped rooms with Kathy Small and did the same (modified slightly for age) deal with the 3rd-6th graders.
Then there was lunch with the GALATIANS Connections Class and another chance to share Fajak's story and invite people to partner with me/Wycliffe in ministry.
I dropped Dad back at Lassen's house before heading to Resocrla's for some football on tv.
Open House that evening at Todd and Jenni Hufford's house in Fishers to which (basically) "Heritage" people were invited. Attendance was not numerically stellar, but the time together was really enjoyable. Great evening. (Great snacks.)
Slept in.
Sat @ Starbucks on 86th and Z'ville Rd and did some BSF homework and some Facebook connecting via the iPhone.
Picked up Marian Kussro at her house and headed down to IUPUI to meet Lauren Kussro for lunch. Got a tour of the printmaking studio where she works/teaches before walking over to the Cafe at the Eiteljorg Museum for yummy quesadillas. (Photo above is from one of the student galleries we poked through after lunch. I loved being in that art & education environment, even if just for a short visit.)
In the evening I picked up Dad and brought him back to the Rescorla's so he could ride with Fred to the Men's Tailgate Steak event at Faith. I stayed at Rescorla's where the women from their HOME group gathered (along with my friend Ann Benson who has served for 35 years with Campus Crusade) for supper and conversation. Great evening.
(Okay, I'm out of time for this morning. Will have to do this in installments, I guess.)
(I added a few more things this evening. Still not finished, but making progress.)
(ALRIGHT, I've mostly got the list complete, but not so much the commentary. I was correct in thinking that if I waited until I finished this to post it, it would never get done. I'm loosing steam on this as it is. May not add any more, actually. Not sure. One of these days I'll hook my camera up to the computer and get the few photos I took onto here. I hardly took any pictures on this trip.)
Global Prayer
"Missionaries Only" Lunch @ Soderstrom home
Yats with Don & Joanne
Missions Committee
Women of Faith Bible Study (Debi Fields) + lunch
Indy "tour" with Dad (including Half Price Books and a quick but profitable stop at the Fashion Mall where there was a mysterious sale at one of my favorite stores. Ran into Sara and her husband — a high school friend with whom I've reconnected via Facebook in the past year or so.)
Supper with Deb & Andy Klotzs (and Drew, Emily and Libby, too) — This was a great evening of real fellowship. Dad and I were greeted at the front door by a WELCOME sign made by Emily. Drew made a motorcycle helmet for Filbert (who didn't make this trip — an oversight on my part which turned into H1N1, a better story than "I forgot him:) which is way cool. Libby interjected her own unique brand of fun into the evening, too.
Starbucks with Sheila Wasson.
Picked up Kathy Small on my way to a traditional but not so traditional Thanksgiving Dinner @ Stowers'
Morning @ Faith with other missionaries and the Pastors. Tom lead us in a devotional then he, Don, and Bill talked us through some of the more significant changes around the church from the past few years. Great time.
Lunch at Panera with Steve & Michell Green (and dad) and then back to their place for Kona coffee.
Family Game Night at Faith which included human fooseball and a missionary version of $10,000 Pyramid. I was better at the pyramid game than the fooseball game — no surprise there.
Starbucks with Kelly (Handt) Skinner — Ran into Sara (high school friend) again. This time her youngest was along.
Women of Faith Missionary luncheon
Janet & Andy wedding reception at Zionsville Fellowship
Battle of the Bands at Birdy's (Jake Brothers Band)
First hour with SOLID (Faith's 7th and 8th graders), taught by Dawn Waltz. Had a blast. Great people.
Shared my "how I got in the game" 2 minutes with the 2nd hour worship service and then ducked out to join…
Living Today class. Once again I shared Fajak's story. Great group with good questions One surprise visitor to the hour was David Walker.
"Stay and Pray" which I personally renamed "Lunch and Launch" time — my assigned room was lead by Phil Johnston (one of Faith's elders). We lunched and people asked questions about Wycliffe and my ministry and then prayed for me. It was fun to have that time with a small group of folk at the end of a fantastic week.
Packed up my display and headed back to Rescorla's where I spent the afternoon watching football and packing all my stuff.
One last Starbuck's run — this time with Michelle Shelburn — and then Joanne Beachy helped me get back out to Z'ville after I dropped off the church's minivan at the church.
Watched the first 1/2 of the Colts game and went to bed.

Skip to 0 minutes and 6 seconds If I buy my seven principles and there's a massive amount of challenges to delivering those principles, lots of things can go wrong in our food system by accident or by design. So what I wanted to talk to you a little bit about is how we can use what I call the Fourth Industrial Revolution to really try to develop a global first food system that is based on those principles of integrity.
Skip to 0 minutes and 40 seconds So it may be a new concept for you, this Fourth Industrial Revolution, and it's about the bringing together, the merger of phenomenal technologies– its digital technologies, its science, its physical sciences, its biological sciences, how you can bring all of those together to see if we can produce this food system that I talked to you about. So let me give you some examples of how the Fourth Industrial Revolution can help us. Our food system is unbelievably complicated, so complex. This is part of globalisation, and that globalisation has meant we have access to much more food, much more varieties of food. But you know something? We don't know often where it comes from. We don't know how it was produced.
Skip to 1 minute and 31 seconds We don't know who has produced it. What we need is transparency, and you'll hear this word a lot, transparency. What does that mean? And that is allowing us to see where the food is produced and how it has been done. And we can do that through the digital revolution, the digital transparency platforms that are emerging in many different parts of the world. We can track and trace our food. We can see where it's produced, when it moves somewhere else. We can monitor the amount of checking and testing that goes on in that food during the passage, through these very complicated supply chains. So transparency is key.
Skip to 2 minutes and 18 seconds But another thing that's really important is that like any other type of system, you can check digital systems. You can put information onto a digital system that isn't true, that isn't reliable, that isn't accurate. And this is where science can play a massive role because what we can do is whenever you claim that that something is safe and free from contaminants or some other issue, we can check it. We can monitor it. We can measure it using very, very, low-cost remote technologies, hand-held measurements. And this is something we've been doing a lot of in our Institute at Queen's University, taking testing out of laboratories, and putting it right across supply chains.
Skip to 3 minutes and 8 seconds So we can see the rice that's being harvested in India. We can see it being sold in the markets. We can see it being transported. We can see it ending up in a manufacturing facility. We can see it in a retail shop and every step of the way, we can check and monitor. It's the same rice, and there are no issues in terms of an integrity. That goes right back to where our food comes from because, remember, one of the principles I talked to you about was respecting and protecting our environment and people.
Skip to 3 minutes and 39 seconds It's really important that we use these digital technologies and scientific methods to make sure that's where our food is coming from, and people are being treated properly.
Skip to 3 minutes and 52 seconds So you've heard a lot about the digital revolution. And you know what? Integrity of our food supply system, we're going to use this a lot more to check and monitor to make sure everybody is doing things properly.
Ensuring the Integrity of our Food Chain
Professor Christopher Elliott discusses some of the ways we can ensure food integrity. In particular, he describes some of the opportunities which technology offers the sector.
In the previous section, we outlined some of the key challenges in the food sector and how these can impact the integrity of our food chain. However, where there are challenges there are also opportunities. The industry, research, government and consumers all have a role to play in helping to ensure the integrity of our food chain.
In particular, the following methods, procedures and innovations are in place or ongoing to ensure the integrity of our food system:
- Food policy, legislation and regulations
- Research and evidence based decision making
- Monitoring and enforcement
- Analytical Methods and procedures
- Technology and digitalisation in the food chain
- Consumer education
In particular, the fourth industrial revolution is becoming an increasingly important area to help us develop a food system that is based on the seven principles of food integrity. The fourth industrial revolution refers to how technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, 3D printing, the internet of things and advanced wireless technologies, among others, are merging with humans' physical lives. In the food chain, it is helping us to trace and track our foods, and when combined with science, it can help to ensure we are collecting accurate information (e.g. remote sensing technologies).
What we would like you to do
Please share your thoughts on the methods and procedures in place to ensure the integrity of our food system:
- Do you think they are all important? Why/Why not?
- Do you think we should increase the use of technology and digitalisation in the food system?

Regardless of your level of musicianship, several methods of creating tunes for a song exist. If you have knowledge of music notation and can play piano, there are some tricks to making sure your melody makes logical sense and sounds pleasing to the ear. If you have no experience, methods exist to help you quickly set your words to music and create a song. Pick the approach that works best for you -- and get to work -- making up a tune for your song.
Learn about note values, if you don't already know how to write music. Start a metronome and begin by tapping along with the beat to create quarter notes. Quarter notes have black note-heads with a single stem. Half notes fall on every other beat and looks like a quarter note, but has a hollow circle for a note-head. Whole notes occupy four beats and look like half notes without stems. Eighth notes occur twice per beat and look like a quarter note with a flag coming off the top.
Write to the rhythm of the lyrics. Speak the lyrics out loud and tap out a rhythm to match the lyrics. For instance, the phrase, "the cat was broken" might use the following rhythm: two eighths, one quarter and two eighth notes. The two eighths would line up with "the cat," the quarter would line up with the word "was" and the last two eighths line up with "bro-ken."
Create a tune by moving in stepwise motion. Avoiding leaps and skips in the music will make the tune easier to sing and avoid problems with odd melodies.
Study music theory and piano to increase your knowledge of how to write your own melodies. When using a piano to write music, try and keep the tune within a fifth. This will make the melody easier to sing.
If you have no experience with writing music and can't read music, try taking a pre-existing melody and memorizing it. Then, you can modify the melody to make it original and apply your own lyrics to the tune. This makes it possible to write music completely by ear, without having the need to write your own music. Hire a transcriber to notate your melody for posterity.

A couple of generations ago, people would get hired out of college or high school expecting to stay with the same company until retirement. Today, that career approach is very much the exception rather than the rule.
It has been reported that millennials resign from their jobs almost twice as often as older workers. In fact, 75 percent of people ages 18 to 34 think job hopping might be good for their careers.
Although millennials and people of other generations often change jobs for very good reasons, job hopping can sometimes have a detrimental effect on their career progression. For that reason, job seekers of all ages should follow some simple advice about changing jobs:
1. Before You Make a Move, Weigh the Pros and Cons
We all want to move forward in our careers, so it's smart to stay attuned to emerging opportunities. That said, it is important to measure those opportunities against your current position to ensure you would be moving to a better situation, not just chasing a higher salary or more impressive title.
What should you pay attention to when weighing the pros and cons? A few different things.
First, find out whether the hiring company and the open position offer greater career development and growth opportunities for you. If you feel you've learned all you can from your current position and there is no further potential for professional or financial growth at your company, then it might be time to consider a new job.
Second, think about whether you're passionate about the job you have now. We spend the majority of our lives working, so we should be happy doing what we do! If you are fulfilling your dreams at your current job, maybe you should sit tight for a while.
Third, evaluate your comfort level in your company culture. Do you enjoy working with your colleagues and manager? Do you respect the business leaders? Does the company culture align with your values? What about the new company you're considering? Get a feel for its culture through online research, including reading posts by former and current employees.
Fourth, ask yourself if you are you prepared to leave a known for an unknown. Here's an example of what I mean: I was recruited by three different firms while working with a company where I had several years of tenure. Although they were all good opportunities, I wasn't willing to lose the seniority I had earned in my current position to start from scratch in a different company. I felt that I was already on the career path I wanted for myself.
Other things may weigh into your decision as well. Maybe you get an offer in a location that is more attractive to you than your current position, or perhaps you're looking for more flexible hours or working conditions. The most important thing is not to rush in underinformed. Find out all you can about the new position and company, and then determine whether it aligns with your long-term career objectives.
2. Stay for at Least 3-5 Years When Possible
Employers want to know you are serious about making a difference within their organizations. They look for candidates they can be confident investing in — those who have demonstrated stability and the potential to achieve long-term results. If you've jumped jobs every year or two, employers may question whether you even know what you want.
Holding a position for a minimum of 3-5 years is ideal. This isn't always possible — maybe an opportunity comes up that you just can't turn down — but if that's the case, make sure you have a solid explanation for the fast move.
At the absolute bare minimum, you should stay in a job for at least a year. Of course, that might not always be easy. Sometimes you despise your job and just want out. Be smart and try not to act impulsively when it comes to career decisions. Take a breath and remember how powerful your mind can be. In this situation, it can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
Make it your friend through some reprogramming. Remind yourself: "Okay, this is where I am. I just need to focus on the positives and stick it out until a better time." Immerse yourself in the good parts of your job. Look for new opportunities within the company. Make your time there as pleasant as possible until the time is right and the ideal opportunity arises.
3. Don't Stay for Too Long
On the other end of the spectrum, if you stay at a company too long and don't feel challenged or see advancement, you might grow complacent and limit your opportunities for growth. Check in with yourself every now and then. Are you happy and thriving, or just stuck in a routine? Ask your supervisor what you can do to continue growing. If you've found your ideal fit, who knows? Maybe you'll retire from that place!

I'm doing some research in the Communications department right now with one of the PhD students. We're trying to get some data on people's opinions and observations of the Starbucks logo.
Whether you love Starbucks or hate it or don't give a shit or are somewhere in between, it'd be great if you could fill the survey out.
If you just have a few seconds here and there, you can save the survey and come back to it. But it's really not that long at all.

Cover Story: Prospecting for Smiles
Direct Mail
Direct mail is Smile Train's fundraising workhorse, Ma says. That's not by accident.
"We call it our 'investment analysis approach,' where we take a look at every single channel," Ma says. "We take a look at how each list or how each newspaper title or magazine title is performing with initial donation, as well as with one-, two-, three-, four-, five-year payback. And [we look at] how the donor is acquired from each list or each newspaper title or magazine title or TV station."
Smile Train then evaluates how well each channel is performing in the short-term and the long-term, and makes monthly planning decisions based on the analysis.
"If you see us in a newspaper, like you pick up the Boston Globe or New York Times and you see us in that ad, that's because that newspaper is performing well enough for us and bringing in a valuable enough donor for us to continue advertising in it," Ma says. "Same thing if you see us on a website in an online banner ad."
If Smile Train's not in a channel, the organization hasn't yet tested it or it didn't perform well. One such channel, which Ma emphasizes she hasn't given up on, is radio.
So direct mail greets Smile Train donors every year. From July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, Smile Train's core retention program sent out 15.6 million direct mail pieces. The 33,000 major donors also received postal correspondence during fiscal year 2011.
And then there were the 98.9 million prospect mailings that represented the largest change in Smile Train's direct mail list marketing efforts for the year.
Smile Train's efforts to branch out into other channels are prescient, Littlefield says, because while the majority of donations still come through direct mail for most charities (a statistic backed up by Blackbaud's "2011 donorCentrics Internet and Multichannel Giving Benchmarking Report," see the chart below), many nonprofits are struggling with the fact that direct mail costs are increasing while their response rates are decreasing.

Black and white vs colour
'Casanova Shadows' is almost entirely hand-drawn, making only limited use of the sort of graphic software that is commonly part of the process of comic creation today. The effect of this is to create a very distinctive style and one, arguably, which is more resonant of the historical past in which the story is set.

Tell Me
Think of me as if I've just gone blind, pushing my way into a room with my arms held out. I'm feeling for obstructions, seeking pathways, needing to know when I'm good and when I'm in danger. The end table is there, so you tell me to turn left. A potted plant is coming up … Continue reading Tell Me
The Last Word, Except Not
I just, not five minutes ago, typed the last word of my novel. The last word on the last page—though it's a first draft, so the last word will surely change once I get my hands on it and start editing. I also have to add a missing chapter to the middle. I hope it's … Continue reading The Last Word, Except Not
I Wish…
I wish I could do NaNoWriMo again this year. Fact is, my deadline for this first draft is November 15, and I will need every moment up until probably 11:59 of that day to have this ready to be seen by other human beings who are not my poor husband made to read my early … Continue reading I Wish…
Every Day
Write on Wednesday asks: Do you make time to write every day? Don't you think everybody should? I used to not write every day. My excuse was that I had a full-time job, and there was no point in writing only an hour before work, an hour was nothing. And when I got home from … Continue reading Every Day
Isn't She* Pretty?
I have printed. Well, I've printed what I have so far. I am not yet done with the first draft—must finish the scene in chapter 19, one more short end-note of a chapter to go at the end, one or two more chapters to insert into the gaping hole I left in the middle... not … Continue reading Isn't She* Pretty?

Confession time. There is a thing I like to do, a very, very bad thing. I like to go to fancy hotels we can't really afford—for holidays, for special occasions.

I met and fell in love with E—my first and only love—fifteen years ago when I was just a kid, really. I barely knew a thing when I met him, but I knew I wanted to be with him. October 16 is the anniversary of the day we made our being together official. That was … Continue reading When You Just Know
