Melissa Rainey remembers when her parent educator, Diane Addison, through the Parents as Teachers program in Shelby County came to her house when she was a little girl.
Melissa Rainey remembers when her parent educator, Diane Addison, through the Parents as Teachers program in Shelby County came to her house when she was a little girl.
She remembers doing fun activities and playing games. Addison was not just coming for fun. She was equipping Rainey with skills she needed for kindergarten.
Parent Educators through PAT programs go into homes and lead children in a variety of activities. Parents learn from these child development specialists on what they can do to equip their children with the necessary skills for kindergarten. Parent educators with Hannibal PAT work with more than 250 families a year.
PAT also provides group connections for youngsters to play and socialize while parents learn from each other.
"When I went to kindergarten, I went for half a day," Rainey said. "For half of that half-day, I took a nap," she said with a smile.
Now kindergarten students are expected to identify letters, understand rhyming words, write their names and more before they even begin school. For parents, that can be intimidating. However, parents can rely on Parents as Teachers programs to help them learn what they can do to get their child ready to succeed.
Rainey first got involved with the Parents as Teachers program as a child when Addison came to her house. Fifteen years ago, Rainey became involved on a different level. Addison was the director of the Hannibal PAT program, an agency of the United Way, and hired Rainey to join the Hannibal PAT team.
Rainey is now the coordinator for screening for Hannibal PAT and promotes the mission of the program, "all children will learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential."
"I always knew I wanted to do early childhood stuff," Rainey said.
Rainey performs more than 500 developmental screenings a year. These screenings evaluate children in terms of fine motor skills, concept development and language development. Families of children with needs in one or more of those areas are connected to resources that can assist with child development.
"I love to see where kids can go," Rainey said. With the right supports, kids who have deficits detected early can fill their gaps and be ready to excel in kindergarten.
"The parent is the first and best teacher of a child," said Whitney Holliday, Parents as Teachers (PAT) program director for the Hannibal Public School District. "Through Melissa's extensive knowledge of early childhood and her passion for partnering with families, she is able to support the early development, learning and health of our youngest Pirates," Holliday said.
Through her work with Hannibal PAT, Rainey lives out the motto of the United Way to Be the Change.

Instead of choosing the least of the worst, life's decisions should be made the way we choose ice cream, from all the delectable exciting flavors and delights. Life should be full of colors and combinations, filled with things that make our hearts tickle and skip a beat.
Are we trying too hard to settle, too afraid of the immensity we can be. Or is this just a yuppie mentality, a self-absorbance that we misguide ourselves with, an excuse for a lack of perseverance?
I can't see myself staying, but I'm too strong to just runaway. I've never noticed, but the random ideas of being hit by a car does seem to pop up more when I have a work shift coming up. Being constantly put down, being told I'm unworthy day-in day-out is killing me from the inside. I know I can improve, I know experience and knowledge takes time and effort to build, but instead of trying so hard to prove myself to these people, maybe it's better to just accept, this is not the place to be, not the place for me. It's not the worst, it's just not the best I can be.
There's such a yearning to leave this all behind, to reach out for something better, but there's also the voice of "reason" telling me to stay and try once more…

Nick Leivermann (4) celebrated after scoring the go ahead goal in the third period. Eden Prairie beat Holy Family 4-3. (Carlos Gonzalez, Star Tribune)
Eden Prairie's Casey Mittelstadt knew what was coming when he sent a pass toward Nick Leivermann.
Leivermann's third period goal put top-ranked Eden Prairie ahead to stay in a thrilling 4-3 victory against Holy Family in Wednesday's Class 2A, Section 2 boys' hockey championship game at Mariucci Arena.
From the backyard rink to practice and even in past varsity games, Leivermann buries his shot, Mittelstadt recalled. This time, however, Leivermann wasn't so sure.
"Last game I was having some problems getting pucks to the net," said Leivermann, a senior defenseman who signed with Notre Dame last fall. "[Assistant] coach Tom Gerdes told me to relax and just shoot."
He put the puck just under the crossbar for a power-play goal and put his Eagles back in the state tournament. Eden Prairie (21-4-2), runner-up at state last March, ran its winning streak to 15 games. The Eagles also maintained their playoff mastery of No. 4 Holy Family (22-5-1) with a fourth postseason victory in five seasons. But winning wasn't easy.
Goals from Nick Michel (second period) and Mack Byers (third) put the Fire ahead by a goal each time.
"It took a lot of resiliency when you go down twice by a goal," said Mittelstadt, who tallied a second-period goal to tie the game 2-2. "To prevail from that is a credit to the guys in the locker room."
Holy Family was playing in the program's first section final. "It was their first time here, but you would have never known it," Eden Prairie head coach Lee Smith said.
Leivermann's goal with a little more than seven minutes to play didn't end the drama. The Fire was awarded a power play with 56 seconds to go and pulled their goalie for a two-man advantage. A final shot with only seconds remaining skipped off the skate of Eagles' goalie Nick Wiencek.
"We had one shot to maybe get us to overtime," said Fire coach Noel Rahn, whose team had won 15 of its past 16 games. "Both teams played their hearts out."
Top-ranked and No. 1 seed Eden Prairie (21-4-2) edged No. 4-ranked Holy Family (22-5-1) for a 4-3 victory in the Class 2A, Section 2 championship games played Wednesday at Mariucci Arena.
Nick Leivermann scored the game-winning goal on the power play for the Eagles.
The Eagles, defending Section 2 champions, ran their winning streak to 15 games.

Tamil Nadu, Kerala results: Win some, some lose
The Congress' national kitty shrinks further as Amma ousts the DMK and the BJP opens its innings in a Left Keralaeditorials Updated: May 19, 2016 20:22 IST
A glacial, dictatorial leader was slated to be swept out, a shambolic hail-fellow-well-met one was meant to buck the trend and stay on in power. In the end, the reverse happened as AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa put paid to the hopes of nonagenarian DMK leader M Karunanidhi of recapturing Fort St George and the amiable Kerala chief minister went under weighed down by the poor company he kept, the burden of scandals that refused to go away and a half-baked prohibition scheme.
In Tamil Nadu, always in the thrall of the personality cult in politics, Jayalalithaa's wizardry was evident in her creation of a number of welfare measures involving subsidised food for people, incentives for the girl child, pro-women programmes and hint at prohibition.
Read | In depth: 3 factors that helped Jayalalithaa keep Tamil Nadu
Though the DMK tried it best to keep up in the freebie war, the Amma-rath, mostly without her presence, rolled through the states showering the faithful with mixies, scooters, televisions and, to the Election Commission's dismay, cash. The DMK, on the other hand, resembled a soap opera family, torn apart by internal frictions, with the leader projecting himself as the chief minister in the presence of his uneasy son Stalin. The result was a 135 seat victory for Jayalalithaa to the DMK's rather poor 97. The BJP was nowhere to be seen.
Read | Tamil Nadu elections: What lies ahead for DMK after defeat
In Kerala, the rockstar appeal of the Left nonagenarian VS Achuthanandan worked its magic, pushing the LDF to a resounding 91 leaving the Chandy-led UDF combine to a poor 47. Dogged by the solar scandal which reached Chandy's doorstep early on, his persistent defence of a tainted former finance minister and a peculiarly evangelical drive against some forms of alcohol, the Congress got neither the support of the rank and file in abundance nor the heft of a distant high command. The central leadership dispatched to shore Mr Chandy up wilted in the merciless humidity of the state faced with a resurgent Left and an effervescent BJP.
Read | Oomen Chandy's UDF goes down battling graft charges against his govt
That the BJP would get the one seat, which went to O Rajagopal, was almost certain, but with this the saffron party opens its account in the southern state. For the Congress, the loss means its national kitty has shrunk even more. And with the loss of its ally in Tamil Nadu, southern comfort is in short supply.

Research Handbook on Climate Change Adaptation Law
Edited by Jonathan Verschuuren
Chapter 15: Climate change adaptation and electricity infrastructure
Rosemary Lyster and Rebekah Byrne
The threats of climate change to electricity infrastructure have been well documented and may be considered in terms of climatic variables, impacts and implications. The climate variables include: increase in intensity of extreme wind; increased frequency and intensity of storms and bushfires; increases in temperature, number of hot days and electrical storms; and decrease in rainfall. The impacts are predicted to be: damage to transmission and distribution above-ground assets resulting in increased blackouts; reduced network capacity along with accelerated deterioration of assets; and an increase in the number and length of blackouts due to electricity demand exceeding supply. The implications considered as economic impacts include: increased capital and maintenance expenditure on electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure; increased demand for skilled staff leading to shortages in this area; short-term lost revenue to transmission and distribution companies; accelerated depreciation and deterioration of assets; and increased power prices to consumers. Additional demand-side implications, particularly in developed economies, include: community security risk; increased insurance costs as a result of business and food loss; traffic congestion/ accidents/no traffic lights and short term unemployment leading to hindered emergency responses; train service disruption; life support/ health risks; deterioration in quality of home life and building services disruption including elevators and lifts. This chapter sets out the scientific case for legal and technology adaptation responses in the electricity infrastructure sector in the face of climate extremes and disasters. It proposes the adoption of the Smart Grid as one of the technological adaptation measures and relies on the experience of the Queensland flood disasters in Australia in 2010

A belated Birthday present!
By karen, May 24 2016 11:52AM
Seven years ago I started to paint a portrait of Faye, our fox red labrador. My intention was to give it to my husband for his 50th birthday. She is a fully trained working dog, picking up pheasants throughout the shooting season, and she is the love of his life... beats me by a country mile!
However, for one reason or another, the painting never got completed. So, with the renewed creative energy I have discovered working in my new studio, I decided to give it another go... and, only seven years late, I think it is finally finished.
The painting shows Faye standing in front of Agglestone Rock near Studland, my husbands favourite place in Dorset. She is older now than depicted, greying and less finely tuned (I'm talking about the dog remember!), but she still dutifully follows her masters instruction (still talking about the dog... he he he!).
She's a rather serious dog, unlike our black labrador (Spoof) who is more typical of the breed and therefore rather more comical. Spoof will probably be my next animal portrait project and if I am to capture her faithfully she will be lying on her back with her legs akimbo!

Elzhi Albums!
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1998, 2000, 2004, 2008, Discography, Rap USA
Jason Powers (better known as Elzhi – often printed as eLZhi) is a rapper and a member of the Detroit group Slum Village.
After grinding in the Detroit underground during the late '90's, eLZhi began working with future local luminaries such as Jay Dee (aka J Dilla), Waajeed (Platinum Pied Pipers), and Dwele. Following his impressive performance on Jay Dee's "Come and Get It" track from the Welcome II Detroit album, he was selected as the new third member of Slum Village, later shining on smash singles "Tainted (feat. Dwele)" and "Selfish (feat. Kanye West)." The three albums that El recorded as a member of the group (Trinity, Detroit Deli, and Slum Village) sold a total of more than 300,000 units, and further established Slum Village as one of the most respected modern hip-hop groups amongst both their peers and a worldwide legion of fans.
With years of recording and touring under his belt as a member of Slum Village, eLZhi is finally ready to make his mark as a solo artist. Even without an official solo release, the 2005 mix CD Witness My Growth continues to circulate amongst the core of his fan base. Hip-hop enthusiasts across the globe consider him to be one of the most skilled emcees in the entire scene, and even blogs and message boards have been trumpeting this sentiment since the release of the last Slum Village album in 2005. His 2008 tour release, Europass was very well received; XXL Magazine awarded it an XL rating, and OkayPlayer praised eLZhi, saying, "The lyrical display in this one is nothing short of insane." With his debut album, The Preface, eLZhi looks to cement his name amongst the greatest emcees in the game.

Are You Leaving Thousands of Social Security Dollars On The Table? Choosing the right claiming strategy can add $100,000 or more to your lifetime retirement income. Deciding when to take your Social Security benefits is one of the most important retirement moves you can make—and it's one that a lot of Americans get wrong. The good news is that new tools and services are being launched that can help you avoid these costly missteps. The latest entry: Social Security Income Planner, was unveiled today by 401(k) advice provider Financial Engines.
Unemployment Benefits and Social Security: Paying Seniors Not to Work An obvious place to begin is by changing existing formulas so that benefits are not reduced when individuals choose to work until full retirement age. Alternatively, we could offer much more attractive benefits at retirement for those choosing to work longer. Both options are easy to introduce and mild experimentation can be used to optimize their design. But this can be only a start. More extensive restructuring must to be considered for future generations and others have studied the issue more than me. Of course everyone, young and old, is free to choose not to work. Some may well prefer to concentrate their work over a few short years, and live off their private savings thereafter. Many sports and pop stars do just that. But, except for periods of child rearing or debilitating illnesses, there is no reason why society should incentivize this behavior.
CNNMoney: Social Security Faces an Imminent Funding Shortfall Social Security's funding shortfall is typically viewed as a long-term problem. After all, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance fund is expected to have enough funds for another couple decades. But the Social Security Disability Insurance fund will probably become insolvency by the end of 2016. If Congress doesn't act soon, the disability fund won't have enough money to pay benefits. The fund, reports CNNMoney, will be able to pay approximately 80 percent of benefits to 8.8 million disabled workers and their spouses and dependents. Not surprisingly, it's not clear when Congress might take up the issue or how — or even if — it might solve the problem.
Social Security closes record number of offices as millions of baby boomers reach retirement Budget cuts have forced the Social Security Administration to close dozens of field offices even as millions of baby boomers approach retirement, swamping the agency with applications for benefits, a senior agency official told Congress Wednesday. Better Internet access and more online services are easing the transition.
Social Security Administration Rubber-Stamped $400 Billion in Disability Claims A new report details massive waste in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) disability programs, revealing how federal judges have rubber-stamped nearly $400 billion in benefit claims, "eroding" credibility in the agency. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released a report on Tuesday examining administrative law judges (ALJs) who approve disability claims more than 75 percent of the time. The so-called "red-flag" judges approved benefits for 1.3 million people between 2005 and 2013, amounting to $394 billion in lifetime disability payments.

Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!

NUGENT. ROBERT NUGENT, EARL (1702-1788), Irish politician and poet, son of Michael Nugent, was born at Carlanstown, Co. Westmeath. He was tersely described by Richard Glover as " a jovial and voluptuous Irishman who had left popery for the Protestant religion, money and widows." His change of religion took place at a very early period in life; he married in 1736 Anna (d. 1756), daughter of James Craggs, the secretary of state, a lady who had already been twice given in marriage. His wife's property comprised the borough of St Mawes in Cornwall, and Nugent sat for that constituency from 1741 to 1754, after which date he represented Bristol until 1774, when he returned to St Mawes. He was a lord of the treasury from 1754 to 1759 and president of the board of trade from 1766 to 1768. He married in 1757 Elizabeth, dowager-countess of Berkeley, who brought him a large fortune. His support of the ministry was so useful that he was created in 1767 Viscount Clare, and in 1776 Earl Nugent, both Irish peerages. He died on the 13th of October 1788. Lord Nugent was the author of some poetical productions, several of which are preserved in the second volume of Dodsley's Collections (1748). The earldom descended by special remainder to the earl's son-in-law, George Nugent Temple Grenville, marquess of Buckingham, and so to his successors, the dukes of Buckingham and Chandos.End of Article: NUGENT

We all know that I love my Trader Joe's. The closest one to us is over 3 hours away, so when I'm literally one mile from one, I try to go as much as I can. I only went to the store a couple of times while I was in California and actually only brought back 4 bottles of "Two Buck Chuck" (wine that is $2.99 and surprisingly good). Last year I brought back a suitcase full of food and was dinged with an over weight fee when flying home. Because I was staying at my parents house for a couple of days after flying back, I planned on hitting up the Trader Joe's in Buffalo, NY (about 1.5 hrs from my parents).
This is what we picked up this time – but the frozen foods are missing. You can guess what I picked up that is frozen: Mandarin Orange Chicken, Tater Tots and Chow Mein.
Most of these items are ones that I pick up every time I'm at Trader Joes:
- Cuban Black Beans (I should have picked up more as I thought I had more at home – turns out I don't)
- Taco Seasoning
- Clam Chowder
- Organic Tomato-Basil Marinara
- Fruit Preserves
- Tomato Paste
- Chocolate – PB Cups and Almonds
- Cereal (cinnamon and corn flakes)
- Yogurt
- Cilantro dressing – two bottles will not last me long
- Simpler Times Beer (it is $4.89 in NY State but only $3.99 in CA – I pay on average $3 for ONE beer (Tall boy can) in Ontario…..
Some new items I bought include:
- Corn Bread Crisps – try them out. They are amazing. I may have already eaten a whole bag…
- Green Dragon Hot Sauce – I had a few drops on my tacos last night – a good alternative to traditional red hot sauces
- Organic Mac and Cheese – tastes better than KD
- Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips – I haven't tried them yet
- Midnight Moo – chocolate sauce – great for ice cream!
- Pumpkin bread gluten free mix – I've tried the regular flour one but they were out. Curious about the gluten free one
- Mango sweet and spicey dressing
- Some spices and sauces

Additional coverage safeguards turbines long after traditional warranties and manufacturer agreements have expired
May 23rd 2011, Newport Beach, CA - GCube, the leading provider of insurance services for renewable energy projects, today launches its Enhanced Defects Coverage program. This unique program provides a realistic and dependable response to equipment upkeep and maintenance when no longer covered by a traditional manufacturer's warranty.
The enhanced coverage comes at a critical time for the international wind energy industry as machinery warranties expire and wind farm owners and operators face increased maintenance and repair bills and further unexpected additional costs.
To combat this, the GCube Enhanced Defects Coverage Program provides solid financial coverage, backed up by practical, hands-on support for a notoriously complex area of the wind energy market.
As part of the policy, wind farm owners and operators are covered for any unforeseen and unscheduled repairs associated with defective wind turbine parts, faulty workmanship and design and the longer-term cost of removal and repair. This depth of coverage, combined with a series of key oversight activities that take place at the end of the initial warranty period, makes this level of enhanced protection as robust as it is unique.
"A post warranty defects program of this nature marks a critical turning point in the evolution of the North American wind industry" said John McLane, President, GCube.
"Traditionally, large-scale project owners have relied on the original equipment manufacturers to take care of most unscheduled maintenance and turbine repair. Once warranties expire, large scale project owners are faced with the question of whether to take on-going operations and maintenance activities in-house. This can result in the need to address the unplanned and unexpectedly high maintenance and service costs, coupled with the logistical and financial headache associated with turbine inactivity, as machinery spends weeks, and sometimes months, offline. Enhanced Defects Coverage is designed to put a cap on those costs and protect the project's incomes balance sheet.
"Working closely with the operations and maintenance (O & M) providers, the Enhanced Defects Coverage program addresses this challenge and provides a realistic and affordable level of coverage to the owners and operators of established wind farms."
Developed to meet the changing needs of the industry, the additional coverage capitalizes on GCube's two decades of experience, insuring in excess of 30,000MW of operational wind farm capacity worldwide. GCube is the leading provider of insurance services for renewable energy projects in wind, solar, biofuels, biomass, wave, hydro and tidal around the globe.
GCube will be exhibiting at WindPower Expo at booth 2929 in the Anaheim Conference Center, Orange County, from 22nd - 25th May 2011.

How to get the 'Cross' lower on your back in a Front Wrap Cross Carry (FWCC)
Do you often find that you have a lot of upper back, neck and/or shoulder pain when carrying for an extended period of time in a FWCC?
Babywearing should never be uncomfortable! Our consultants all can troubleshoot your pain during a consultation to find the solution to your Babywearing needs.
Our consultants love this tip for lowering the cross on your back in a FWCC. This ensures that the weight of your child is taken more off your upper back and moved further down.
Just before tying off your FWCC, grab both tightened strands (or bunches) of fabric and, whilst maintaining tension, move them both completely off your shoulders. The strands should be parallel to the floor (as pictured).
Then bring the strands back up over your shoulders and tie off as per normal.
This will ensure that the cross is moved lower on your back and the tension removed from your neck and shoulders.

The film "Black Swan" (director Darren Aronofsky) is one of the most unsettling pieces of art I have encountered in a long time. The principles give fine performances: Natalie Portman as the ballerina who is challenged to look at her dark side and Barbara Hershey as the mother, who failed at dance herself and is now trying to live through her daughter. But it is the craft of the director that is the source of the film's psychological power.
The camera takes us right into the action–from the opening shots, we literally walk with the characters, bounce behind them as they move from place to place, in an unnerving fashion. The dancer soon reveals that she cannot tell fantasy from reality, and of course neither can the viewer. Did that really happen? we are always asking, as is she. Because she has been unable to crack the shell of her surface perfection, she is stiff and cold, not erotic and juicy, like the friend she fears wants to steal her lead in "Swan Lake." She wants to hurt someone–her domineering mother, of course–but she cannot, and so she herself must bleed. This is the stuff of tragedy.
This film has the potential to reach deep into the psyche of every viewer, because these forces are present in all of us. It was Freud who first put forth the theory that every human being has a death instinct and a life instinct. When the death instinct is turned upon one's self, it leads to self-destructive acts, including suicide. When Eros, or the life force, wins out, the death instinct is sometimes displaced onto others in the form of aggression. But Eros can express itself in human creativity and love instead of warring against the death instinct, he believed.
That is the challenge of our ballerina in "Black Swan," and indeed is the challenge of every human being. First of all, we must become conscious of the dark side–whatever is unacceptable to us and we don't want to acknowledge as part of us. It can be negative impulses like jealousy or it can be talents or desires that we don't want to recognize, for one reason or another.
But we are afraid–we don't want to go there, because we might lose control, we think. To acknowledge the dark side is not the same as acting upon it–it is merely bringing it to consciousness, so that we are not driven by our more unconscious motives. Then we know what is real and what is not real. Then we will not hurt ourselves or others and wonder why we do these things. Then we are free to choose, to say yes or no, to go with love and creativity and to grow in ways we never thought possible.

Second verse, same as the first: Fourteen candidates are running for five Boulder City Council seats in the Nov. 7 election. What interests you, if anything, about this election?
I watch this year's City Council race without passion. Partly, I blame the power struggle of Boulder partisanship. Call it slow growth versus no growth, old Boulder versus new Boulder — both sides will likely resent the generalizations. On one bank is PLAN Boulder, the town's historic influencer, and on the other stand Open and Better Boulder, last election cycle's upstarts. Each side endorsed five candidates. Out of a field of just 14, they managed precisely zero overlap.
I know from personal experience that prospective candidates were recruited and offered resources in hopes they would represent one platform or the other. One group will make Boulder's future inclusive and affordable and the other will maintain the small community vibe. Honestly? I think the ship has sailed on both visions. Boulder is going to evolve — has evolved — faster than we may realize. I have some trust issues with any candidate who claims the true ability to genuinely re-make either ideal into reality.
In recent weeks, never-before-heard-from lobbying organizations have popped up with promisingly unifying names such as Engage Boulder or Together4Boulder to endorse either one of those exact same slates of five candidates. Mysterious. Not terribly convincing.
Perhaps it is the unendorsed candidates I want to know more about. They are minus an army to do the heavy lifting of getting a message out, and if their platform is unique, authentic, balanced — and independent — they might just be the ones I find most interesting.
Mara Abbott, firstname.lastname@example.com
I lived in Boulder from 1984 to 2010. I voted in every election. I voted for the maximum number of candidates. Friends later told me to vote only for the few I liked. The theory is that the largest vote-getter is very possibly everybody's last choice. I also had the privilege to head up the city of Boulder's budget office from 1983 through 1991. That was nine years to the day, and I worked for five city managers: Bob Westdyke, Jim Piper, Dave Knapp, Joe de Raismes, and Tim Honey. During those nine years I took one thing off my career path: elected official. Miserable pay, mountains of reading material, late nights, and angry constituents. Why are there any candidates at all? And why do they keep coming back for more?
For years, PLAN Boulder was the only game in town. They got their people into office and they got their policies on the books. A friend of mine refers to the group as PLAN PLAN PLAN Boulder. Now there are five unofficial candidate committees and five issue committees. Some have been around for a few years and some look brand new.
Though I can't vote in the election, I do have a favorite. Ed Byrne is a longtime friend and a knowledgeable, level-headed guy. And I'm going to miss Matt Appelbaum. Some say he talks too much. Not true. He just thinks out loud and thinks a lot.
Steve Fisher, firstname.lastname@example.com
This year several groups are supporting and endorsing City Council candidates. The groups fall into two camps. Better Boulder, Open Boulder and Engage Boulder are all supporting the same five candidates. PLAN Boulder and Together4Boulder are supporting a completely different set of five candidates. Not one candidate is being endorsed by both sets of groups. That bothers me.
If all five candidates from either slate are elected, we will have more groupthink on City Council. There will be less diversity of ideas and little need to find compromise solutions to our thorniest problems. Our community will become even more polarized. I hope that doesn't happen. Rather than choosing a slate of candidates, every voter should consider what matters most to them and who will best represent those values.
For me, I want visionary leaders capable of embracing big, out-of-the-box ideas. I also want pragmatists who can focus on policy goals and find workable solutions. I want councilors who will fight for the underserved, vulnerable and unconnected people in our community. I want fiscal responsibility. I want leaders who will respect citizens' opinions and implement the Public Participation Working Group recommendations. Change is inevitable, but we shouldn't forget the values and policies that made Boulder the special place we all call home.
I hope every citizen will learn about the candidates and develop their own slate. Here is mine — Jan Burton, John Gerstle, Jill Grano, Sam Weaver and Mary Young.

Per the city of Boulder charter, City Council elections are non-partisan. No Democratic, Republican or I'm More Progressive Than You party monikers to guide the electorate. So what's a voter to do? How are you to know which candidate to vote for? After all, there are 14 of the damn things running this time.
Thank goodness we have the "something Boulder" voter-education organizations. At last count, there were five of them. And the dividing line between the two sides is growth and density. They all agree on everything else (climate change, house the homeless, open space, bikes are cool and cars are icky, etc.).
On the let's keep things as close to how they have been for the last 40 years (i.e, America's largest gated community), are PLAN Boulder and Together4Boulder. They want you to vote for Cindy Carlisle, John Gerstle, Mirabai Nagle, Sam Weaver and Mary Young.
On the are you crazy, Boulder can handle much more density and growth and it will make the city super-fabulous are Open Boulder, Better Boulder and Engage Boulder. Note: The politically connected in Boulder call Engage Boulder, Dan Caruso's Band of Merry, Yet Slightly Cranky, Millennials. They say nay, nay. Bring on more ugly buildings and vote for Eric Budd, Jan Burton, Jill Adler Grano, Mark McIntyre and Bill Rigler.
So there you have it. Cut this out and keep it handy until you vote. You're welcome.
Chuck Wibby, firstname.lastname@example.com
A sincere thanks to all 14 of our City Council candidates for offering to spend countless hours — for very little pay — doing their best to be stewards of our quickly evolving city with its myriad issues and opportunities.
It is critical that the city seriously consider a living wage for our own City Council. The way it is currently structured, many qualified people cannot afford to run for election. It is also important to have City Council members working full-time for our city so that they are ahead of the curve of the many issues that are part and parcel of a rapidly growing city and can adequately respond in a timely manner.
Endorsements can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, they help voters get a sense of a candidate's priorities but, because of the added financial help, they can give community action groups, who often have a single issue that they care about, outsized power to get their candidates elected.
No candidate fits neatly into any one category so, despite endorsements, it is better to go to one of the public candidates' forums to hear each candidate speak about her or his plans for Boulder and answer citizens' questions about various issues. Thankfully, we have an educated electorate that generally takes a close look at the field and votes in a thoughtful manner.
My favorites this year: Jill Grano, Jan Burton, Ed Byrne, Mark McIntyre and Eric Budd.

One of my all-time favorite stories is The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis. Throughout the story, we watch as the bratty boy Eustace lives in selfishness and pride. Then, by a terrible choice, Eustace is transformed into a dragon. He longs to be human again. To undo his mistakes. To take everything back. Alone, dragon Eustace cries hot heavy tears. It is in this state that Aslan meets him and leads him to a pool of water. To be free from his scales, Eustace knows that he must bathe in the water, but Aslan tells him that he must be undressed first. In vain, Eustace scrapes his scales, once, twice, three times...but they will not come undone. He cannot shed his dragon skin on his own.
"You will have to let me undress you," says Aslan the Lion.
Eustace's pain and loneliness was so great that he set aside his fear of this great lion and allowed him to undress him from his scales. As Aslan scrapes his scales away, the previously bratty boy Eustace said, "The very first tear he made was so deep that I thought it had gone right into my heart." Tossed in the water, scraped clean, a boy emerged from the pool. Redeemed. Restored. Forgiven. Eustace was never the same after his encounter with Aslan.
Re-birth is painful. Breaking free from bondage and breathing clean air has a steep price. Your old life, your old habits, your old patterns...they must be ripped away for a new thing to take place. To be restored you must acknowledge that you are broken. To be renewed you must put aside the old. To be re-born you must die.
I have scraped and scraped these scales away. Clawed off layer after layer, only to reveal another layer of scales that will never budge. On my own, all of these efforts have only led to frustration and hot, heavy tears. On my own, I have been left with sleepless nights and a million questions, blaming everyone but myself and seeing problems everywhere but where they truly exist...beneath my layer of dragon scales. To be free from the burden of selfishness and greed, to love others without the limits of self-interest, to be re-born and restored... what an awakening this process entails.
Within these words, I mention marriage because it has been the mirror turned on my face, revealing an ugly side I never even knew existed. I mention marriage because it has revealed just how selfish we can be, even in the best of relationships. I mention marriage, because vowing your life to another, binding your world onto theirs, forces you to be unselfish, and the process is much more painful then I ever would have imagined. I mention marriage because it has been the vessel in which I have seen myself more clearly.
Indeed, marriage is the mirror, but in itself it does not heal. I don't buy the "self-help" hype because I don't buy the idea that we exist purely to exist and create the best possible world for us. My core identity, my theology, my DNA is interwoven with the belief system and the faith that we were created for so much more. We were created. And if we were created, then I believe that there is a Creator, and oh how that story is so fantastic and so marvelous that my words will never be enough to explain it all. Needless to say, I believe that the Creator can redeem and restore when my hands cannot. He can scrape away the dragon scales, piercing my very heart, to reveal a new person, a new heart, a fresh page.
It is through marriage that the depth of redemption is being revealed in my life. Through this union that I am seeing just how far my husband will go to forgive me. Just how far I will go to forgive him. Through this union, I am catching a glimpse of just how far God has gone to forgive us. To redeem us. To scrape off the old and make us new. Through this [painful] process, I am learning that this covenant we have made completely depends on the third wheel to survive. On our own, we would continue to fail over and over again. But with God, all things are possible. With him, we can embrace the forgiveness and the redemption we have been offered and somehow, in the smallest of ways, learn how to extend it to each other.
This series is titled, "Keeping this Covenant." It is the real-time journey of my walk through marriage. I am not a wizened old pro sitting in a smoky room offering elusive advice. Rather, I am sitting in a 750 sq. ft. apartment watching a football movie and embracing the joy that comes after a tough moment has broken through. Good weeks, hard weeks, joy, and pain...we feel it all in our daily lives. Today, I am embracing the topic of redemption. This is my heart on the subject, these are the lessons I am learning.
Redemption will take your life. On the path to a holy marriage, it is in the painful painful moments when I glance back and see just how much I have lost. I have lost the ability to answer only to myself, making decisions that will only affect me, choosing roads that I can only walk down alone. I have lost the ability to hold onto bitterness without letting anyone know, the option of being selfish and not letting anyone see. Through marriage, the old is exposed, through Christ, I am being redeemed...together, in marriage and in Christ, I am being transformed. The old life is slowly slipping away. I hold onto it often, my fingers clench onto my selfishness and it takes much prying to loosen them up, but I can feel the process happening.
Redemption requires you to die to self. One of the definitions in the dictionary for the word redemption is, "the buying back of something that has been lost." To live in sin is to be lost. To choose selfishness over love is to be lost. To live for self is to be lost. We have been bought back at a steep price so that we may no longer be lost. Soak those words in. Read them over and over again. We have been redeemed so that we may no longer be lost. In today's world, marriage isn't esteemed very highly. The act of marriage is old fashioned and the vows of marriage are antiquated. Often, it seems as though marriage is a ceremony that ends before the couple cuts the cake. I choose to believe that there is more to this covenant than this. I am choosing to see the beautiful joy found in honoring another person with your life. In serving God with your hearts and your hands. I choose to see how we, two broken individuals, are being redeemed by God's grace and folded into a story together that is greater and more beautiful than we ever could have imagined on our own. We have been bought at a steep price, but we don't have to be lost any longer.
Redemption is different than forgiveness. In the hurt that comes with marriage; the family hurt, the personal hurt, the life hurt... there are so many chances to forgive. People screw up all the time. Deeply, personally, our lives have been changed by big choices and massive consequences. The act of forgiveness, telling someone that you forgive them, and really meaning it, is freeing. The longing for redemption we feel in those moments, when it is denied, is heartbreaking. When we long for redemption, we long for things to be made new. Sometimes, often, other people aren't willing or ready for that renewal. So we live in the forgiveness, forgiving them over and over again even though they may never change and the deep process of redemption is denied. In this small way, I wonder what the heartbreak of God must be like. To love us deeply, to forgive us over and over again, and to be denied the renewal that restores relationships. I can't control what other people do. I can't control the consequences of other people's actions or the ways in which they will affect my life..but I can control what I am willing to offer, extend, and accept. I choose the heartache of rejection. I choose the sorrow of a lost relationship. I choose forgiveness. I choose the hope of redemption over the hurt of bitterness. Forgiveness is the action we take to extend grace, redemption is the restoration of what was into something new and beautiful.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
2 Corinthians 5:17

|Avigna Technologies
|Intranet for around 10000 Wipro employees across 20 locations
|Problem/ Opportunity
|The application developed had to:
1. facilitate access to HR and corporate information from an employee's desktop
2. enable employees to stay in touch with one another through various clubs, message boards, chat, and knowledge-sharing features
3. add to an employee's convenience by offering self-service applications like leave management, benefits management, compensation planning and internal career management.
4. Make the application interesting and relevant to the young TA
5. Enable community development so the employees could stay in touch, work better in groups and also help each other in case of offshore projects or relocation
|Key Insight
|The TA was almost entirely below the age of 30 and hence the application to be developed had to be young, energetic, vibrant and constantly 'happening'.
|Creative Idea/ Strategy
|Channel W – a B2E application that would be functional – in terms of being an employee self-service, collaboration and community framework – and fun, with several interactive features that would make it a 'hangout' destination on the desktop.
|1. The first step was to collate information which involved interviewing key personnel from various departments to take their inputs and suggestions for Channel W.
2. The next step was to work out on the information design of the application, a tedious process as it involved multiple levels and numerous micro sites.
3. Different teams had to be formed to handle various parts of the site – the content team, the back-end team, the design team and the maintenance team. In all, over 100 personnel worked on Channel W to make it a reality.
4. Finally, the entire application – comprising over 4500 screens – was put together and debugged to ensure that all the functions worked without any overlaps or repetitions.
|Challenges faced
|1. A core team led by me had to travel to multiple locations to collate information, process it and then segregate it for each section and subsequent sub-section.
2. The volume of information to be handled was in a three dimensional matrix, the variables being the various departments, the static (screens) and dynamic (forms) in each department and the drill-downs in terms of levels under each section. Putting it down in an excel sheet or a physical chart was extremely complex.
3. Extensive cross-linkage had to be done for the employee to seamlessly transition from one department or section/ sub-section to another. This had to be done across over 4500 screens.
4. Putting together the work done individually by different teams required complete knowledge of the hierarchy of information and the position of screens and links.
|1. Channel W targeted better service and efficiency, thereby resulting in increased productivity and satisfied employees.
2. Direct access to information, paperless processes, and online approvals resulted in reduced service delivery time, faster reimbursement of expenses and quicker appraisal processes.
3. The typical turnaround time of three weeks for reimbursement was reduced to 48 hours.
4. While Wipro grew in strength overall, from 6500 employees to around 10000 employees, the support staff reduced from 565 to 547 employees. This resulted in net savings of Rs 50 million for the organization.
5. The intranet based e-learning component resulted in savings of close to Rs. 10 million due to reduction in travel, logistics costs and faculty time, during 2000-01.
|My role
|1. As the Senior General Manager – Creative, I was in charge of the project and worked closely with the project manager to successfully complete and deliver the project.
2. The concept of Channel W was coined by me.
3. I oversaw the entire project from a creative and information design perspective, ensuring both a creative interface and a robust application.

I had the pleasure of welcoming the lovely Danielle Meder of DrawingTarot.com into my home over the weekend and she graciously bestowed upon me a 3 card Drawing Tarot reading. I've known Danielle a long time through my day job working in fashion as she is a well known and incredibly talented fashion illustrator and journalist (you can check out her blog here) although never quite so intimately as our conversation during my tarot reading, which picked up on many themes present in my life now. The cards I drew reflected this time of great upheaval and reckoning within myself. For the last year I have been processing a lot of old trauma, speaking out against the childhood sexual abuse I suffered and realising just how I ended up as an adult with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I've spent a long time in a kind of stillness while I re-evaluated and examined my career, my creativity and my commitment to my children. I've been becoming someone new and someone profoundly familiar to myself at the same time and the process has been disorienting and uncomfortable. The reading and conversation I had with Danielle brought so many things into focus for me and brought me a great sense of relief. I've been searching so hard for answers that I missed the signs right in front of me that I'm already on the path meant to be. Then she drew my portrait.
I'd really encourage anyone who loves fashion and has an interest in the metaphysical to reach out and get a reading done. She is brilliant!
Danielle is taking Drawing Tarot reading appointments in London 14 Feb-28 Feb the 3 card session costs £60 and includes an original drawing. You can also have an 8 card reading for £120 and a couples reading is £150. Contact [email protected]
From March 2 Danielle is available for readings in Toronto, Canada.

Social networking giant Facebook is rumored to be working on an app that would allow viewers to watch immersive 360-degree videos with their smart phones, without the need to use a virtual reality headset.
This is according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
The app will use the "magic window" approach where users would move and tilt their phones to explore a 360-degree spherical video, allowing them to explore the video beyond its traditional frame.
Google has been for some time experimenting with spherical videos with its Spotlight app, which allows the same kind of interaction. And YouTube added spherical video viewing to its mobile apps this summer.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg first raised the possibility of adding 360-degree videos to Facebook's newsfeed a few months ago.
