The approach taken in this conceptual chapter is to sidestep normative concepts in e-government research in favour of a detailed analysis of national engagement principles and practices as they are illustrated in three Australian consultations, one of which takes place since a change to conservative government, and against a background of renewed hostilities and contentious public debate. The study's research question is: what are the context-specific and issue-specific factors impacting on e-government success in the area of policy consultation? Associated questions include: by what criteria can policy coproduction success be measured? Is citizen centricity in policy, as advised in public service consultation best practice principles, evident in the design of policy consultations? How does thinking about citizens as agents and not targets of policy play out as a technique of engagement in the three case studies? Is shared governance an achievable outcome in the short term? Finally, what does the third consultation on proposed changes in 2014 to s18c of the Racial Discrimination Act (RDA) (1975) illustrate about the play of publics and politics governing the policy engagement area? These questions raise significant issues about the management of policy consultation practice and governance in the public sphere. The design and processes of consultations illustrate designers' embedded values, and implicit judgments made about the complexity of policy issues, and citizens' capacities and willingness to engage. The success of online consultations also depends on how citizens are conceptualized in the process of coproduction; on public sphere and contextual factors; design features; and on the scale, opportunities, and the quality of participation supported.
Initial factors hypothesized as impacting on the success of policy co-production include a) how the citizen is framed as an agent in policy making; b) civil society's existing online participation protocols; c) political issues; d) the comprehensiveness of decision-making resources offered; e) the match of the consultation design to the policy issue; f) the point in the policy cycle when public consultation occurs; g) the transparency of the governance of communications; and h) timely feedback to participants; i) the transparency of the consultation archives.
For the first of the two 2011 case studies, I select one aspect of a larger, more complex suite of consultations, The Clean Energy Legislative Package (2011). The full policy package consultation was conducted amidst a fiery, hostile public sphere debate about the human impact on climate change. Time factors also impacted as a minority government was under pressure to steward the Bills through to rapid implementation early in 2012. The challenges faced by the government agency were manifold. Priority strategies incorporated provision of accurate resources, visualizations, and impact modelling, and the use of external bodies and websites as the sources of authoritative information. The second smaller case study involved the co-production of a Digital Culture Public Sphere discussion paper with creative industries' workers, and designed as a technique, and as an outcome. Government engaged with digital experts and practitioners, crowd sourced their industry and policy ideas, and built a digital culture peer community through the extensive use of familiar participatory online design tools and techniques. In the differences between the two cases lie important lessons about citizen empowerment and the success of a crucial aspect of e-government: facilitating citizens' role in policy formation. Analysis of the third consultation highlights even more strikingly than the first case study, the impact of political ideology; and of the intensity of public reaction to the Attorney General's proposal to amend s18c of RDA. After the consultation received over five thousand submissions, the Prime Minister withdrew the Amendment proposal 'in the interests of national unity' (Aston, 2014). Only fully redacted submissions are available on the government website for public scrutiny. This event, it could be argued, marks a significant retreat from an e-government trajectory of co-produced policy. Yet the withdrawal was, again arguably, an appropriate response to the exercise of public will, exerted through communication means other than official consultation submissions, such as online media and activism.

Norman Seeff, the photographer behind the famous images from 1984 of Steve Jobs sitting in the lotus position with a Mac on his lap that appeared on the front cover of TIME Magazine and Rolling Stone, has released never-before-seen photographs of Apple's late co-founder.
The photos, have been published on Retronaut, a website that Seeff is a fan of, along with an account of the shoot provided by the photographer himself.
"I was aware of the character flaws that people have described about Steve," Seeff said. "For me however, my interaction with him revealed none of these views, although I don't doubt the anecdotal stories about his impatience and qualities of dictatorial control."
"My desire with Steve was to engage in a genuine conversation about the world in which he lived and where he was most comfortable," Seeff explains. "Of course, that came down to ideas about the future and where technology could go."
"As I was working with Steve, I was watching him become more and more comfortable until I felt as though I'm hanging out with a big adolescent in his pad," Seeff said. "The well-known shot of Steve sitting in lotus position with the Mac on his lap was a totally spontaneous experience. By the time the session was over, he was sitting on the floor with his shoes off and he showed me how he could put his leg over his head."
"Steve was truly a visionary," Seeff concludes. "He was extraordinarily impatient with people who said "it couldn't be done". That was where some of his purported dictatorial unreasonableness would come from but in the end, he got what he wanted and everyone discovered what seemed impossible could be done. Steve made the impossible possible.
You can see the full set of eight photographs, which show a young, relaxed Steve Jobs in his home, over at Retronaut.

Tarot Card Number 12: Hanged Man
Odin is the Hanged Man. He hung from the World Tree of Knowledge for 9 days. This represents will-power and self-sacrifice to gain transcendental knowledge. He developed the runes, a secret alphabet with magical powers.
12 forms part of the Trigram of Love and Creative Imagination and includes:
3 (Venus - beauty and love)
12 (Neptune - intuition, awareness, visualization)
21 (Saturn - space, time).
The Guardians of number 12 are Neptune, Mother Ma-Ray (Mari), Odin and Murugan.
The color for twelve (12) is blue.
12 is a mystical, divine, holy number:
* 12 hours of day and night.* 12 months in a year.
* 12 signs in the traditional zodiac.
* 12 days of Christmas.
* 12 grades in school.
* 12 step programs.
* 12 jurors.
* 12 notes before the octave.
* 12 eggs in a dozen.
* 12 inches in a foot.
* 12 years of childhood before the teens.
* 12 Court Cards in an ordinary pack of Playing Cards.
* 12 Knights of King Arthur's Round Table.
* 12 successors to Mohammed.
* 12 Gods of Olympus.
* 12 Stations of Life in Buddhism.
* 12 years for Jupiter to transit the zodiac.
* In the Bible: 12 tribes of Israel, 12 brothers of Joseph, 12 judges of Israel, 12 great patriarchs, 12 old testament prophets, 12 kings of Israel, 12 princes of Ishmael, 12 disciples of Jesus, 12 appearances of Jesus after his death.
* Jesus, Buddha, Osiris, Quetzalcoatl all had 12 disciples. The 13th was the Ascended Masters themselves, being the connection to the divine.
Spiritual Significance of the Number 12:
12 is the blueprint for serving a divine purpose or fighting for a cause and making others aware of its importance for the betterment of all inhabitants of the earth. 12-12 recurring in your life means you are being called to render your divinely blue printed purpose here on earth that will serve the greater good of all. The Crystals of the earth have been magnetized and are influencing those that must answer to the call of 12 - the call for willing self-sacrifice in order to serve a greater cause.
12 x 12 equals 144 - which the Bible and other Spiritual Sources refer to as 144 000 chosen ones. These are the people who will choose or appoint themselves as guardians over the earth. Good examples are Gary Yourofsky (animal activist), Captain Paul Watson and the Sea Shephard Cove Guardians. 144 000 guardians will present themselves in leading others to greater consciousness of the need to save ourselves, our animals and our planet.
* Neptune, who rules number twelve, is also known as Poseidon, Triton and Mari or Yemeya.
Neptune rules the oceans, intuition, understanding, psychic-awareness and spiritual enlightenment.
Neptune rules creative visualization, sages, psychics, prayer, meditation, sleep and dreams.
Its negative aspects are escapism through drugs or alcohol.
It is about consciousness that transcends the physical and about self-sacrifice.
* Mari (Mary) - the Goddess of the Great Deep of the Ocean and the Cosmic Womb. (Yemeya)
Mari(ne) rules the Oceans and marine life.
Mari's color is blue. She sends the blue ray of healing love.
* Shapeshifting through self-sacrifice and self-control
* Self-less acts.
* Ophiuchus (Serpentarius) rules the first half of the 12th month.
* Galactic Center is activated over the second half of the 12th month.
* The mystical symbol of change and miracles.
* The number of Secret Truths and Cosmic Revelations.
* During the 12th month the Sun energizes the galactic center, increasing intuition, kindness, empathy, forgiveness, reconciliation and a feeling of oneness.
* The 12th letter in the alphabet is L, which stands for Love, Light, Life, Law and Laughter.
* Number 12 says: 'let go and go with the flow' or 'let go and let God'.
The Spiritual Significance of the12-12 Portal:
* Summer / Winter Solstice.
* North Pole - peak of Ursids Meteor Shower.
* South Pole - intensely activated Galactic Center Vortex.
* Cosmic Angelic Portals all over the Earth wide open.
* 12 Spiritual Chakras of Earth wide open. South Africa houses the Solar Plexis of planet earth at the appropriately named 'Navel' Hill in Bloemfontein, the city I was born in. Also the birth place of J.R. Tolkin, author of 'Lord of the Rings'. Naval Hill also bears the 'white horse' of the 7th Galaxy, birth place of the Angels.
* Massive energy release that increases intuition, awareness, mystical experiences,
ascension that transcends enlightenment.
* Greater awareness of the Goddess as part of the Divine.
* Greater awareness of Marine life and issues.
* The ocean will reclaim its power.
* Shapeshifting and bringing about change through self-sacrifice and self-control.
* The gift of knowing we have the choice to heal and rejuvenate ourselves and our planet.
* The power to create, change and manifest through focused intention and creative visualization.
* Energy Shift of planet earth and the universe to awareness and ascension.
* Increased Globalization through instant communication as a result of a decrease in the time-space continuum through high technology.
* Greater awareness of energy vibration and communication with other worldly beings.
* Specicism - Greater awareness of the animal spirit (soul) and selective killing of animals. Vegetarianism will become the preferred diet of the future as we become aware that animals have souls and killing them is murder. Animal communication through telepathy will become common knowledge.The Mayan Prophecy in a Nutshell.
Guardian of 12-12: Lady of Guatelope.
The 12-12 Portal is the Portal to the Tetrahedron Star which looks like the Star of David. It creates a powerful blue psychic shield of protection against evil forces that obstructs human happiness and prosperity. New pathways open during the opening of this portal on the 12th day of the 12th month. 12 New DNA strands and 12 Chakra's lead our soul to its highest destiny. Merkaba is now possible - new light beings in human bodies. Mer (light) ka (spirit) ba (body).
Born on 12-12, I was blessed with the gift of Divine Spiritual Insight, the Desire to tap into Hidden Knowledge and the calling to share Secret Knowledge. I want you to know that I have remembered who I Am. I Am an unlimited Being of Light. I am an infinite spirit in physical form. I choose to use this energy to heal and rejuvenate myself and this present dimension (earth) I am in through creative visualization and positive affirmations. I choose to transform (shape-shift) into my light body and to radiate the divine light to all and especially to the animals of this planet, who do not have a voice of their own. Neptune lies at 12 degrees in Libra on my IC. This bestows an interest in Astrology, metaphysics and the occult. It also indicates a love of water. This is the Imum Coeli in my birth chart and coincides with the exact degree of my mother's birth sun. I Am exactly who I Am supposed to be!
I believe we all have the innate ability to transform our world and to heal our world through 4 principles:
-relaxation - being still.
-focused attention and being in the now (awareness and experiencing flow).
-visualization - imagining what we want to happen.
-affirmations - positively affirming that things will happen the way we want them to now.
We manifest what we desire. We manifest what we fear. Whatever we focus on we magnify. Focus on healing yourself, others and this planet with positive visualization and positive affirmation. Don't imagine the worst happening. Imagine the outcome that will serve the greater good. Imagine the desired outcome.
I believe that children whisper their names to their parents before they are born. My children are:
Brigitte - Bright Light an Irish goddess of fire and of the home. Profound mind and research ability.
You bring love, light, direction, organization and knowledge from the Arcturus records.
Crystal - Christ Light - born 19-12 in the energy vortex of the galactic center, that energize earth's crystals. The galactic center is at 27 degrees Sagittarius on the 19th of December. You are representative of the Crystal generation. The name you whispered to me before your birth represents your life purpose. Although you are an earth angel, you have a far greater purpose - spreading love, light, beauty and the power of creative imagination. Honor your name!

Happy Tuesday everyone!...So while l still had these supplies out on my desk from my previous Star box project, l decided to do a kind of catty case..:0)
I used the largest star in the bundle to create the base and also the vanilla 3D layer, which has been scored and popped up on dimensionals, to really give a 3D effect.
Another quick and simple Christmas card done and dusted. At this rate l might actually have a collection by Christmas..:0)
"Thanks for stopping by"
All supplies used are Stampin Up unless noted!

BOSTON — Secretary of State William Galvin is predicting a record turnout for Tuesday's general election, saying more than 3 million voters could go to the polls in Massachusetts.
BOSTON — Secretary of State William Galvin is predicting a record turnout for Tuesday's general election, saying more than 3 million voters could go to the polls in Massachusetts.
"For me, it's kind of like anticipating a snowstorm," Mr. Galvin said. "We know it's coming. We just don't know how much and where."
Mr. Galvin based his prediction on enrollment, requests for absentee ballots, which were far ahead of past elections, and the history of races for open seats. The state has 4.2 million registered voters this fall, setting a new record.
"This is clearly a very exciting election," he told reporters during a briefing in his Statehouse office Thursday. "It's an exciting election nationally and there are important issues in Massachusetts, as well."
The current record turnout is 2.9 million people in the 2004 presidential race, with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as the Democratic nominee.
"We've added a significant number of new voters since that time, and I believe the intensity of this race will contribute to that kind of turnout," Mr. Galvin said.
If 3 million Massachusetts residents vote Tuesday, it would be 72 percent of registered voters. Several town clerks in SouthCoast — among them Mattapoisett, New Bedford and Fairhaven — have forecast turnouts between 85 and 95 percent.
Mr. Galvin said more than 200,000 people had requested absentee ballots, and another 200,000 had registered since the presidential primaries.
Besides the presidential election, there are races for U.S. Senate, congressional seats and state Legislature. There are three ballot questions to: abolish the state income tax, decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana and ban dog racing.
The 4.2 million registered voters include "inactive" voters who haven't been going to the polls, which drives turnout percentages down.
Gov. Deval Patrick on Wednesday signed a new law that allows people who have moved in the past 18 months to vote in their old polling place if they already are registered there, but only for state and national races.
Mr. Galvin said "tens of thousands" of people fail to change their registration when they move before every election. Previously, the exception to vote in their old district was limited to six months.
Polls across the commonwealth will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Election Day.
Mr. Galvin said voters can check the location of their polling place online at sec.state.ma.us and clicking on "Where Do I Vote?"

Among the four global university ranking systems, six schools appear in the top 10 of all lists. Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology and Stanford University are the top U.S. universities, with the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge standing as the top U.K. universities.
The London Times, U.S. News and World Report, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and British consulting firm Quacquarelli Symonds rank universities worldwide each year. The Times also includes lists for specific fields of study, such as arts and humanities, social sciences, and engineering and technology. The same schools score highly within these specialized rankings. The Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Academic Ranking of World Universities, which is the oldest ranking, started in 2003.
The top 10 schools are all in the United States or United Kingdom. Schools outside of those areas appear starting at rank 12, with the Times giving that spot to the University of Tokyo, and the QS giving it to ETH Zurich; U.S. News shows the University of Toronto ranked at 14 and ETH Zurich at 20.
Factors such as reputation, number of research citations of university scholars and ratio of staff to students count towards a school's rank. Schools also gain rank from international breadth of staff and students. The Times ranking additionally considers total university income. The same schools appear on all lists because these criteria favor well-funded, research-intensive schools.

That's SCI-FI mooning the crowd (he's camera-shy). Stretch and Marty, my kilted brethren, are looking on bemusedly as the moment is saved. Again, I was having a difficult time trying to figure out what to freak out more over: wearing a kilt or open-carrying.
It worked, though: at some point in the night, a gentleman walked over and (very politely) asked what the deal was on the kilts. I explained about KTKC, and he was very receptive (and promised to get checked), and I considered it a major win all around.
Now, as we enter the last few days of the fundraiser, time is running out for donations. We're close to what we raised last year; it would be fantastic to exceed last year's take, but we'll take what we can get. Every bit helps.
if you decide to donate on behalf of Team JayG, you will be put into a drawing where you could win:
- A York Arms stripped lower receiver
- A High Standard Lower parts kit from Brownells
- A Magpul 30-round PMag
- AND 300 rounds of .22LR in a nice wood case.
- Go here: Kilted to Kick Cancer Donate.
- Click an amount, or add in a custom amount, then check the box next to "This donation is made as part of a Fundraising Team".
- You'll see "Fundraising Team:" and a drop-down box. Pull up "Team JayG".
Three days to go - let's keep going full speed!
That is all.

Natalie Whitlock First CSULB Student to Receive the Southern California Kaiser Fellowship
2012-01-06 · By Editor
Natalie Whitlock, a graduate student at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), has become the first CSULB student to receive the Southern California Kaiser Fellowship.
"I am very excited about this opportunity and am honored that I was one of six who were chosen out of over 100 applicants. Kaiser is very excited to have someone represent Cal State Long Beach. I am looking forward to completing my master's in health care administration and beginning my career with Kaiser," said Whitlock. "The knowledge and skills I have learned through my work experience as well as the master's program here at CSULB aided me in obtaining this fellowship. I am proud to be able to represent CSULB in the fellowship program."
She will start the postgraduate fellowship in July in San Diego for her first of three rotations in the 24-month program. The first two are at a medical center and/or medical office, and one at the regional offices. Fellows are placed in their first rotation by the organization, but fellows generally choose their location for the second and third rotations.
The Postgraduate Fellowship in Health Care Administration is designed to develop skills and leadership potential. The program is structured to maximize the learning opportunities for fellows as well as support the operational needs of the organization. The goals of the fellowship program include:
- Identify promising candidates for management and future leadership positions at Kaiser Permanente;
- Provide fellows with an educational and "hands-on" experience that will contribute to their professional development as well as to their understanding of Kaiser Permanente;
- Create opportunities to enhance skills in project development, strategic implementation, and operations management.
The fellowship program allows for learning opportunities at both the professional and personal level as well as a balance between project and operational work. Learning opportunities include hospital and outpatient operations, strategic and market planning, facility planning, financial and analytical performance, analytic skills and communication skills
Whitlock has been a quality improvement officer at Morningside Recovery, which is dedicated to providing care for men and women who are chemically dependent or suffering from co-occurring disorders, since June. She has also worked at the Spencer Recovery Center, a substance abuse facility, for five years as a utilization review direction, quality coordinator and medication administrator.
At CSULB, she served as a research assistant with a psychology professor on a nicotine study. She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology cum laude from CSULB in 2006 and is working on her master of science in health care administration.
Fellows often find a number of informal mentors through both project and operational work. These relationships often form a strong professional network. In addition, incoming fellows can benefit from a network of fellowship alumni who provide support, insight and guidance.
Kaiser Permanente is one of the nation's leading health care organizations, serving 8.7 million members.

Gondoltam megosztom veletek, pláne, hogy még fogalmam sincs hova megyek.
A Greenhouse és az Intership között annyi a különbség (a base school az sima iskola, órákkal), hogy az Intership-en teljes értékű kreatívként dolgozol az ügynökségnél, míg a Greenhouse esetében a munka mellett órákat is adnak és oktatnak és nyílván kevesebb felelőséggel jár.
És úgye van még a Portfolio Class ami az iskola utolsó (vagy utolsó előtti negyedévében aktuális) amikor az adott cégnél vagy iskolában csak a portfoliódat fejlesztik, arra adnak ki feladatokat.
Elbírálási procedúra
Greenhouse: esetében az iskola dönt (de azért persze a cégnek is van beleszólása) jegyek és hiányzások (díjak) alapján
Intership/Portfolio Class: az ügynökség dönt a munkád alapján (ami az iskola portfolió oldalán keresztül - The Door néznek meg), plusz figyelembe veszik a hiányzásaidat és a jegyeidet.
Eddig én ezek szerint jól állok, kis stréber voltam egy B-ém van a többi A (B=4, A=5) és hiányozni sem nagyon hiányoztam.
Ki hova menne? (én intershipre szeretnék)
"Base Schools:
Hamburg – Limited space for Quarter Away students. Up to 4 will be accepted.
Madrid – Must speak Spanish fluently to attend the Madrid School.
Miami – Potential to take classes with the Account Planning Boot Camp this winter.
Minneapolis – Inexpensive student housing available above the school for QA students
San Francisco – new expanded space at the school, so lots of room for Quarter Away students to attend.
Sao Paulo – Must speak fluent Portuguese to attend the Sao Paulo School.
Amsterdam – Bureau Pindakaas: up to 14 students between the Greenhouse and the Portfolio Class.
At this Greenhouse students will experience the epicenter of the unparalleled Dutch creativity and innovation. They will find no barriers to ideas. But they will also be surprised at the respect for the past while at the same time smashing tradition with irreverence. That's the contradiction of the Dutch and a cornerstone to their brilliance. Bureau Pindakaas started 8 years ago after 20 years of national and international experience in the advertising industry, with the urge to change from traditional to non-traditional thinking, communicating, doing and creating.
Boston – Digitas: Up to 8 students
If it's not the art, the sports mania, educational institutions or pure historical significance
that attracts you, maybe it's because it's potentially the most civilized city in the United States. From lectures at MIT to café's in the South End, Boston is like a best kept secret and begging to be explored.
It's one of the smartest, toughest, prettiest cities around and home of Digitas; the world's
largest digital agency.
Spending time at Digitas, you'll be part of a team that puts digital at the center of everything we do.
With major brands across almost every industry from consumer packaged goods to travel,
automotive to finance, you'll sink your teeth into a wide variety of work and gain experience in the ever expanding world of advertising in the digital space. Experience MAS in MASS. Who knows, you may even try the lobster too.
Boulder – CPB: Up to 8 students
A Greenhouse quarter in this agency is backbreaking, sleep depriving and mind-blowing. It could change your creative life. Are you ready for that? Forget about the near-by ski runs and the fact that snowboards are stacked by the door. You may be an Air dog but the only Rodeo Flip you'll do is when the CD likes your idea. You know why? Because that CP+B CD has probably won more awards than any other creative on the planet. Don't even think about coming here unless you are a sadomasochist, or very talented or very crazy. (Don't miss it, if you get the chance to go.)
Chicago – Draft FCB: Up to 8 students
Draftfcb Chicago is the largest, fully integrated agency in Chicago and part of the world's largest communications agency networks, IPG. Each team mirrors a junior level team working on actual client work while taking classes from industry veterans.
Dallas – Dieste: Up to 4 students
Voted Ad Age's Multicultural Agency of the year for 2008. Dieste was chosen as Miami Ad School's only Greenhouse within a Hispanic Ad Agency.
Javier Guemes, ECD at Dieste, was a recent Hero in Resident in Miami.
London – Iris: Up to 8 students
Our placement scheme, known as The Bunker, is situated deep within our HQ at 185 Park Street and is located in one of the most vibrant and creative parts of the capital. The building is actually bomb proof as it was used to house the back up power generators for Whitehall.
The aim is to expose our Miami Ad School students to a broad range of disciplines, techniques, skills and people within iris. Ultimately students will be thoroughly introduced to the real world of integrated creativity and allow them to gain unique knowledge and build up their portfolios. As Bunker inhabitants, you will have access to Creative Directors and senior staff from across the iris network, helping you to produce contagious ideas that people will want to spend time with. It's an environment where different creative perspectives and disciplines will be encouraged to collide in order to create 'Unique ideas that get people talking'.
London – Ogilvy: Up to 6 students
Our second new London Greenhouse for the Fall Quarter.

Check out samples of their work: (if this link doesn't work, e-mail me and I'll try to send you the info individually)
New York – People Ideas and Culture: Up to 8 students
People Ideas and Culture was started in January 2009 by Domenico Vitale; formerly the Chief Strategy Officer at Lowe New York.
We are a new model company (we really mean new as in born January 4, 2009) that is trying to redefine how solutions are born in the 21st century and how ideas can grow in this new wonderful, chaotic world of ours. Simply put, PIC is a 'mass innovation' collective that brings together the right resources for the right solution, ignoring the limitations of traditional thinking and structures.
This openness to new ideas and new thinking is at the very heart of what we do. So we are here to learn from you as much as you are here to learn from us. It's a mutual endeavor that will test and stretch your ability as a creative strategic thinker (and hopefully stretch us too).
If you join us you could be sitting beside some unusually talented people. (Fashion designers, digital strategists, product designers, photographers, or whatever) Basically you will be surrounded by a group of talented misfits united by one common understanding, that everything we do today communicates something ad can have an impact on culture. Or to put it another way, if you want to sit and just write traditional ads without thinking of what else could be the answer, then maybe we're not the right place for you. But if you want to think about what communications is today (yes of course including ads) and how it actually works, then pull up a chair.
Madrid – Lola: Up to 4 students
Lola is a division of Lowe Worldwide and it is a new Greenhouse for the Winter Quarter. The first group attending will be 4 students, with plans to expand it in later quarters. The students will take two classes at the Madrid school at night that will be taught in English. At the Greenhouse, you will work on international accounts, so they will accept students who speak English or Spanish.
Paris – Ogilvy: Up to 8 students
Ogilvy Paris teaches you to think visually. It is a great chance to learn a different perspective. Constant concepting for about 95% of the time; Projects, some with a turnaround of two days; some that are worked on for the entire time. The agency, like the city, is unique. But you wouldn't go to Paris in the first place, if it weren't Paris. http://www.ogilvy.com/
San Francisco – RGA: Up to 10 students
Students who choose to take a Quarter Away at R/GA in San Francisco will have 10 weeks at one of the most awarded interactive shops in the world. Students will also experience firsthand how a digital agency differs from a more traditional agency. They can take a close look at the team concept, which typically includes an interaction designer, a flash expert, a digital production expert as well as a planner, art director and copywriter. Students will also take 2 night classes at the San Fran School. http://www.rga.com/
Stockholm – Saatchi: Up to 8 students
Stockholm is the perfect place to go, if you want to experience smaller independent creative shops. The agencies here are known all over the world for their creative brilliance, especially within the digital field. You'll be encouraged to do non-traditional and innovative thinking, since here the idea rules and not the big media budget. Besides, the city is truly inspiring and gives a great opportunity to get familiar with the Scandinavian design history. The Greenhouse is based at Saatchi, with evening classes at Frankenstein and Le Bureau.
Portfolio Class:
Our portfolio class is available at each base school. Hamburg is limited to 8 students from other Base schools. In addition to our base schools, you can take your portfolio class at Bureau Pindakaas in Amsterdam or CPB in Boulder. You must apply as teams for the Boulder Portfolio class. The best two teams will be chosen to work on their portfolios in Boulder. It is not really a class at all. You and your partner will be paired up with two CPB mentors who will work with you on your book and can meet with you on an as needed basis throughout the week.
When applying for an internship, you can apply with a partner or you can apply by yourself. We usually have enough applicants for most of the internships in NYC, Chicago, and San Francisco, so you don't need a partner to apply to those but you can apply with a partner if you'd like too. Due to fewer applicants outside of those three cities, it may be best to apply with a partner if they are requesting a team. Whenever it says one team, it means one art director and one copy writer.

From Creativity Magazine: In the modern age of advertising, CP+B, love it or hate it (and the agency is unrivalled in the amount and intensity of antipathy it arouses) came to represent the New Ad Agency, the idea-centric, media-inclusive, integrated creative factory whose brand campaigns feed from and create popular culture.

pregnant? Congratulations! Be prepared for everyone to give you
unsolicited tips and advice. People will
talk your ear off about sleep training, when to start feeding solid foods,
whether you should vaccinate, daycare vs. nanny, and on and on and on.
to the toddler years and there is a list of "fun" things that nobody has warned
you about. These are so top secret that they
aren't found in any books. Generations
have been sworn to secrecy, so you won't even hear these tales from your
grandma. Until now. Today is the day that the curtain gets pulled
back on the best kept secrets of parenthood.
RELATED: You Know You're a Mom When ...
1. For constipation relief, take your kid to the park.
The best way
to get your child to poop is to take him to the park. There are magical powers in the sand. Even
if you've asked if he needs to go to the bathroom several times before you left the house, you've got a 98 percent chance of a poop happening at the park. The more disgusting the bathroom is, the more
likely they will need to go.
2. Don't get mad, get creative.
spaces were designed by people who ride bicycles. There's just no other explanation for their
size. You'll be challenged daily, but
don't get upset. Get creative and utilize
your windows or even sunroof if necessary.
3. Well, get mad sometimes.
You can't
always get creative. In those situations, it's totally appropriate to get mad. Taking your child out of their car seat on the Autobahn is really
scary. Pray for a break in traffic and
move faster than you've ever moved in your life.
4. The art of negotiation—it's a valuable skill.
Many a tear
has been shed over who's going to flush whose pee. The best way to hone their negotiation skills
is to make them practice. Force them to
pee together several times a day and the learning curve will be quite impressive.
5. Choose the right (read: shortest) books.
It's been
drilled into our heads that we're supposed to read to our children daily. They forgot to mention that your child will
select the biggest book to read at bedtime. This is the same time of day that you'll be ready to create a bonfire
with the book and pour a glass of wine. Choose
books wisely and only keep short ones with mostly pictures in their bedroom.

The Community Arts Center provides crucial arts programming to the people in our community who most need it.
Though much of this work goes on behind the scenes and away from the public eye, the Arts Center is continually reaching out to the elderly, those with low-income, and/or physical, mental and developmental disabilities. When we say we want to provide arts opportunities for every member of the community, we mean it!
Arts Cart
Every week, Creative Director Brandon Long visits Pioneer Vocational Services, bringing arts activities to adults with developmental delays. The Arts Cart makes arts activities, such as painting, drawing and music-making, accessible to members of the community who otherwise might not have an opportunity to experience them. This program fosters creativity, develops artistic skills, promotes self-expression and improves self image.
This program brings together kindergartners and senior citizens for shared art lessons. Woodlawn Elementary School buses one of its kindergarten classes to McDowell Place every other week, where an Arts Center instructor leads art activities for the students and seniors.
The heart of the Grandbuddies program is the relationships between students and their buddies. The young students relish the opportunity to spend time with caring senior citizens, sharing their latest adventures and proudly showing off their artwork. For their part, many of the senior citizens in the residence are lonely and do not have family nearby. Spending time with the kindergarten students is the highlight of their week.
Art in the Schools
Local school districts often ask us to facilitate after-school arts programming for their students, helping to expand on what they're able to offer during the school day. You can read more about our programs in the schools here.
Community Festivals
Every party is better with art! We participate in community festivals and events, such as the Great American Brass Band Festival, the Boyle County Farmers Market, the International Conductors' Festival, and more.

This is interesting. I had to use a grey Pastelbord because I did not have any sand. I took out 2 boards and they were very different, although should be the same. Makes me weary of ordering grey even more with how different they are.

Reputation and Crisis Management
The best time to plan for crisis management is before a crisis occurs. Because when the stuff hits the fan, how your company deals with the media can mean the difference between looking like Mother Theresa or Charlie Sheen.
At some point, just about every company or brand runs into a public relations crisis. Sometimes it's self-induced and quite often it's through no fault of their own. The crisis itself rarely defines a business, but how it's handled often does.
During this time, it's critical to already be prepared to know what to say and how to stay on message. It's just as important to understand when you should say nothing.
The 10e team can help your business navigate through rough waters and over tough terrain. We have the experience to prepare you for potential media storms or to help you emerge from a current crisis with your reputation and message intact.

This is suppose to be the 'Fun & Trivia channel '...where is all of the fun part? I had plenty.
And enough 'Trivia'...
The best part about Newfoundland is that it is so plumb full of good looking women...one's cup sure can runneth over. The men there are so spoiled that they don't appreciate this. I saw this everywhere when I was in the Air Force and lived there. My only ex-wife came from there...my ex-wife and my present wife are the best of friends.
One time they agreed for us to meet in Laughlin, Nevada., which we did a few times. She lived in Phoenix and still does. I was setting in a bar on the River Walk talking to a guy and they walked by and saw me through the window....they came in and sat down just laughing and having a good ole time. After after a minute, I introduced them to the fellow that I was talking to....this is my wife and this is my ex-wife. He did the head jerk-back thing, and after they left he said that he had never seen such a thing. The ex-wife's husband died of something, right now forget just what.
Oh yes, the 3rd song...I well remember the Newfy stomp...
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Fa ... ORM=VDRVRV
I did go back a few years ago with my wife. The place has changed of course...When I was there before I don't recall a single lighted intersection traffic light and only one gas station, with two pumps. There were that few cars. Now it says a 100,000 population with all of the cars and things. Look at a video of St. Johns - what a difference.
Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.

The city's Industrial Development Authority has proceeded with its plans to replace parking spaces for a Hilton-area United Parcel Service facility, with demolition of a former miniature golf facility wrapping up now.
But there is no word on the current status of Hilton Commons, a $200 million residential and commercial development Drucker and Falk is planning to build on 110 acres where the mostly vacant Camp Morrison Industrial Park now sits.
As planned, Hilton Commons would encroach on one of the parking lots UPS now uses.
Worried that the UPS facility would leave — it employs more than 700 and is one of only two package-tracking facilities in the country — the IDA stepped in to replace the parking spots.
"We ran through every single scenario possible to figure out how we could provide spaces for them," said Bryan Witt, manager of special development projects. "It's a lot of high-paying jobs, they've been there for 20 years, and most of them live in the city."
The authority ended up buying and demolishing Play A Round Golf and Games, at 89 Nelson Drive, to add a parking lot there. The lot will be constructed by late fall, city Development Director Florence Kingston said.
The IDA also purchased a two-acre parcel on the other side of the UPS facility, part of a parking lot that is supposed to be used for Hilton Commons.
Kingston said she believes the development plans for that land will proceed. She declined to comment further on the Hilton Commons project, as did City Manager Jim Bourey.
The IDA will replace those parking spaces after it demolishes one of the Camp Morrison Industrial Park warehouses after Jan. 1.
Hilton Commons would replace the mostly vacant Camp Morrison Industrial Park, which is tucked behind a strip mall anchored by Food Lion off Warwick Boulevard.
Plans for the development originally called for about 1,000 units, but that was scaled back to about 640 after nearby residents raised concerns about density, traffic and drainage issues. The 640 units were to include about 200 single-family homes, more than 100 units in duplexes and more than 200 townhomes, as well as office space, a restaurant and parks.
Construction was expected to begin in 2015 or 2016, the Daily Press reported in February 2013.
It is unclear whether those plans have changed.
Wendy Drucker, managing director of Drucker and Falk, did not return multiple calls and emails from the Daily Press during the past two weeks seeking updates on the project. Other employees of the firm referred calls to Drucker.
Drucker serves as vice chairwoman of the Economic/Industrial Development Authority Board, but did not participate in the discussion or vote on the IDA's purchases related to the project last summer.
Building permits have not yet been issued for the property where Hilton Commons is planned, city spokeswoman Kim Lee said. Witt, the special development project manager, said building permits are not issued until construction is ready to begin.
UPS has agreed to purchase both parcels from the IDA for about $2.5 million after the lots are added, leaving the IDA's total amount spent at $1.5 million, Witt said.
In the end, UPS will end up with fewer parking spaces than it had before, down from 931 to 808. But UPS officials told city officials that would be enough, even with plans to hire more, Kingston said.
Clift can be reached by phone at 757-247-7870.

Spring Break in Bryce Canyon
For Spring Break this year, we spent a few days in sunny but cold Utah at Bryce Canyon. We stayed at Ruby's Inn, did an incredibly muddy hike, and enjoyed our in-room hot tub every evening. This was also a great opportunity for Drew to put his great new camera to use!
Here we are hiking around the rim. Some Germans we met took this picture for us.
Some of the hoodoos available for your viewing pleasure!
We took the Najavo Loop Trail through knee-deep snow and some pretty devastating ice. We saw the couple in front of us, hiking in tennis shoes with a thousand-dollar camera just around their necks, slip and fall down an entire flight of stairs! They were okay (and so was the camera) but the flight of stairs they fell down had turned into a flume of ice. So we slid down it caf-tray style. Except without the caf trays.
It was a beautiful hike, though, which we extended into the Queen's Garden Trail when we reached the bottom. Seeing the canyon from the top was breath-taking -- seeing it from the bottom gave you another level of appreciation!
Here's Drew on the way back up:
And here's Liz at the trail ending. Notice -- boots recommended. Boy, were we glad to have them! And will all the mud and snow, did they ever look used when we were done!
Nothing felt better than a dip in the hot tub after a long. muddy, snowy, but beautiful hike!
We also ventured out to the trail heads at night. Bryce Canyon is known for its stargazing, and Drew wanted to take some nighttime pictures. Believe it or not, this picture was taken in complete darkness at about 10:00 at night! Spooky!

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The UMKC volleyball team (7-13, 3-4) fell 3-1 on Saturday afternoon to Utah Valley (10-12, 5-2) in Western Athletic Conference play at the Swinney Recreation Center.
Alicia Harrington (Cedar Falls, Iowa) and Alli Schomers (Omaha, Neb.) each notched double-doubles in the match with Harrington tallying 15 kills and 12 digs and Schomers going for 21 assists, 12 digs and three kills. Brooke Jacobs, meanwhile, finished with 11 kills for the Roos.
UMKC jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the match taking a hard-fought opening set. In the set, the Roos fell behind by as many as four on several occasions, including lastly at 19-15. Mykal Sadler (Des Moines, Iowa), though notched a kill and two points later Jacobs added a kill to cut the lead to one. An ace by Alex Ratzlaff (Hillsboro Kan.) then tied the match at 20-20, the first tie since 11-11. The Roos continued to hang close, as UVU was unable to build more than a one point advantage, before another Sadler kill and an ace from Mikayla Martinez (Frederick, Colo.) gave Kansas City the lead at 26-25. Twice more the Wolverines would knot the score, but a kill from Harrington and an ace from Sadler sealed the 29-27 first set win.
The lead, however, was short lived as Utah Valley quickly tied the match at one set apiece with a 25-14 second set victory. The Wolverines then took their first lead of the match with a 25-21 victory, breaking a 20-20 tie late with five of the set's final six points.
In the fourth set, Utah Valley would close out the match, going ahead by seven midway through the set before ending the match with a 25-18 fourth set win.

Ajax Cape Town host Orlando Pirates in the Premier League on Tuesday
Posted: 13 September 2016 Time: 18:48
Tendai Ndoro scored two goals in a minute in the first half as Orlando Pirates defeated unlucky Ajax Cape Town 2-1 in their league clash at the Cape Town Stadium on Tuesday.
Ajax made the early running, creating a few nervous moments for Pirates keeper Brighton Mhlongo, but it was The Buccaneers who hit the front with some quick-fire sucker punches.
Ndoro netted two goals in a minute, grabbing his first 20 minutes before the break as he capitalised on a mistake from Ajax keeper Brandon Petersen to score in an empty net.
And just a minute later he made it 2-0 when he latched onto Oupa Manyisa's ball to cooly finish in the bottom corner.
Ajax pulled a goal back seven minutes into the second half when Nathan Paulse headed home after ghosting between the Pirates centre-backs Happy Jele and Justice Chabalala.
The home side piled on the pressure after that, with Bantu Mzwakali denied in injury-time by an excellent save from Mhlongo.
Pirates were able to hold on though and now have a full haul of six points from their two league matches this campaign.

Many people have questions about various aspects of their pet's surgery, and we hope this information will help. It also explains the decisions you will need to make before your pet's upcoming surgery.
For many surgeries, we use absorbable sutures underneath the skin. These will dissolve on their own, and do not need to be removed later. Some surgeries, especially tumor removals, do require skin stitches. With either type of suture, you will need to keep an eye on the incision for swelling or discharge. Most dogs and cats do not lick excessively or chew at the incision, but this is an occasional problem you will also need to watch for. If there are skin sutures, these will usually be removed 10 to 14 days after surgery. You will also need to limit your pet's activity level for a time and no baths are allowed for the first 10 days after surgery.

My good friend Dave (pictured at his retirement ceremony) asked me to build his shadow box. Of course I said yes; it would be an honor, I said. I had previously only built one shadow box (mine), but I knew my woodworking skills would carry me through this project. I had exactly one month to complete it, which I thought would be plenty of time, however, I found myself up against the ropes on ceremony day, putting the very last piece of trim on at about 8:10 A.M., with the ceremony starting at 9:00 A.M.! But, I did it! By the way, I was the official photographer for the ceremony as well.
The inspiration for this piece came from a similar design I saw online, and without plans, and only a very low-resolution photo, I got started. My design changed a few times over the course of the build, and since I had been out of serious woodworking for about the last ten years due to work and health reasons, I had to relearn many techniques as well as learn many new ones in order to complete the job. I made a few mistakes along the way, some of which were costly, as you all know that oak isn't cheap.
Although I had no plans, I did have some inspiration for the overall design. However, I've scoured the Internet for flag cases and I've never seen one like this one, so to me at least, this is an original design, one that looks pretty nice, if I do say so myself :)
Something that certainly isn't new to shadow box design, but I wanted to try, is inlaying challenge coins into the wood, as seen in the last two photos above. I racked my brain trying to come up with a jig to make the holes with my router, and I finally came up with the idea of using plexiglass, just adding the radii of the bit, router base and coin, and then cutting out the hole in the plexiglass that I would run the router in. Well, in theory that was a great idea, but after three tries, I realized I just wasn't going to get it right. The holes were never exactly the right diameter, or the right shape, or both, so I went back to basics and routed the holes in the wood by hand, by tracing a circle around the coins and routing the material out inside the circles, being careful at the edges and checking the fit of the coins often. I eventually got the holes to where the coins fitted perfectly, and now I realize I can inlay any sized coin. UPDATE (10/18/16): I now have a Forstner bit the same diameter as my coins, so it's a snap cutting out just enough wood in which to lay the coins for a perfect fit – every time!
It took me about 250 hours to finish this project, mainly because I was "out of shape", so-to-speak, and because the mistakes I made were not only costly in terms of money but also time. I learned quite a few lessons that in future projects will prevent most, if not all, of those mistakes from recurring, saving me time and money. Nevertheless, it was a real pleasure making this box for a good friend.
I love woodworking and it was great to get back into it after such a long hiatus, and for a good cause, but the sheer complexity of, and time required to complete, this project are enough to keep me from doing any more of these for the foreseeable future. If you would like me to make one like this for you or for a loved one, check out the Two-Flags Shadow Box (SMALL) version in my Projects. I modified the plans for this one a bit to make it less complex and to take less time to complete. I'm just not going to be making this particular model again for a while.

In spite of maybe being a bit rusty you sure did a fine job on this beautiful shadow box and I can imagine that your friend is more than happy with it.

Excellent work on a shadow box that will certainly become a wonderful piece of family history. I think your design is extremely unique and your being a 'bit rusty' doesn't show at all. IMHO

Thanks, I appreciate it! I definitely feel more confident now, and I just hope I get the opportunity to build more boxes for other people retiring or otherwise leaving the service. Being a retiree myself, it's one way I can "still serve". By the way, don't go too far, I might have questions along the way :)

Wow! Impressive is the word. Also being retired, I appreciate the design, layout and obvious cost. Your "Leftover Oak" comment sure is correct. I would have been overwhelmed had this been for me. Your description of yourself on your "Home" page is nearly the same as mine, except that I am also a Great-Grandfather. Thank you for sharing.

Great job. I really like the enclosed area at the bottom.
Recommend trying forstner bits for the round coins. Pro is they are clean holes, you can control the depth. Con is that you coins come in many sizes so you can quickly collect a few bits.
-- -Al, Oak Harbor, WA
#7 posted 07-06-2015 03:14 PM
Thanks, Al! The enclosed area is for his coin collection which is about 150 strong right now. I'm going to make some strips to put in the bottom to hold them up – I just didn't have time before I gave it to him. I hear you about forstner bits, but the smallest coin I'll be using for this purpose is 1 ¾" in diameter, and since I was already way over budget on this project, I had to come up with a way to do it without spending as much as those bits cost. Besides, the two coins I used were of different diameters, so I would have had to buy two bits, and I just didn't have that kind of money left. I agree that the holes would be much cleaner, though.

Thanks, Skeeter!
I hope to be a regular shadow box maker. I did get another job as a result of this one, so I'm still working :)
I can't take credit for the design of the box though, at least not totally. I saw a couple online that had "wings" like this which were my inspiration for this one, and one of them had the open area underneath too for a sword, which looked awesome, so I really wanted to try it. But the flag case design was mine. At least I haven't seen anything like it, so if someone has done it before, I apologize for taking credit, but I think it's a first.
Charles, your comment came in as I was typing this, so thanks for the welcome and the great comment! I've known about this site for some time now, but finally got around to posting something on it.

SUGAR LAND - Planned Community Developers has broken ground on a new facility for Texas Instruments Inc. (TI), at the northeast corner of US 59 and University Blvd., which is expected to bring 400 jobs to the area.
The building will be a three-story, 165,000-sf Class A structure on a seven-acre site in the Telfair commercial development area. Construction on the $35 million project is expected to be complete by early 2014.
The facility is being built a little over a year after TI said it would close its manufacturing plant in Stafford.
TI chose to build the new facility in Sugar Land due to factors such as proximity to employees' homes, local amenities and clarity of site-development plans.

Winter Wonderland? Not So Much!
Working out during the winter season can be a real drag. Many will agree that even a beautiful day calls for a little motivation when attempting to lace up your workout shoes. The chillier months however, call for an even bigger source of stimulus so in an attempt to keep those post holiday pounds at bay try utilizing this advice to ensure you maintain your physically active lifestyle during those unbearable winter months.
You must dress for the cold weather; if you're not comfortable during your workouts you will be less likely to continue your regime and use it as an excuse. Wear a warm hat if it is really cold and you may want to consider a scarf or something that comfortably covers your face. Another effective tip is to wear mittens in the place of gloves so you will be allowed to ball your hand up into a fist, which will help tremendously with warmth. It will also be beneficial to wear shoes that are snug and waterproof because winter weather can be so unpredictable and going home soaked is a cold just waiting to happen. Lastly, clothing fabric made of wool or polypropylene will help to keep in the body heat you are creating during exercise.
Winter workouts don't have to be a chore; with a little planning and effective tools the experience can prove to be almost as enjoyable as it would be on a beautiful day. Implementing these tips into your seasonal workouts will provide you with the instruments to continue working towards your desired fitness goals even in harsh weather. Once you have mastered the practical aspects of winter workouts like having the proper fabrics to ensure your warmth, you can then begin to have a little fun with the season and even make a fashion statement. Some of your favorite retailers have begun making workout clothes that are not only practical but also fashionable. Do you know any?
