By Lauren Mahakian Contributing writer. Originally published in PV News on 2/10/2021
I'm just settling into an easy chair in a private room with two clients. I open with a question, "Marjorie, do you know who I am?"
"No," she replies without hesitation. "But you're a friend of Jack's, right?"
"Do you know who this is?" I ask, gesturing to her husband seated next to me.
"Not really, but I know he's important." Touching her hands to her heart, she adds, "He's with me."
Jeff, her husband of more than sixty years, has no reaction. His Alzheimer's disease is even more advanced than Marjorie's. He similarly doesn't recognize his bride, despite waking up with her for most of his adult life until just years ago when they moved to this beautiful memory care community.
While it's a bit unusual for two spouses to be simultaneously affected by Alzheimer's disease, forgetting names and faces is fairly common and worsens with time. Depending on how and where the brain is affected, recognizing faces and recalling names, events and other important facts can be impaired.
It's natural for loved ones to be put off when this happens. I can't tell you how often I've explained that the disease doesn't discriminate between memories.
In Marjorie's case, for example, she remembers she has a son named Jack. She even correctly recalls she has three sons, but Jack is the only name that comes to her. Showing her current photos, she does not recognize any of her sons. However, she lights up when shown photos of them as young boys.
"Jack was always into mischief," she remarks.
In many cases, it's also possible that memories of who we are, based on what we look like today, are missing. Short-term memory is usually one of the first things affected, and few of us really look like we did ten years ago.
Long-term memory however is often very much intact.
In Marjorie's case, for example, she actually remembers her husband. Her disability prevents her from recalling his name or recognizing him as the man in the room. Shown photos of them together in younger years brings the same smile as photos of her sons.
When I counsel people facing this situation, I emphasize the importance of positivity in relationships with loved ones. When our loved one fails to recognize us, it doesn't mean they don't remember us. They may be able to recall good times or bad, or even describe events we've long forgotten. We need to call these wins and carry them in our hearts.
Becoming frustrated with Mom or Dad, sister or brother, or our significant other is counterproductive. Instead, I suggest a course of deliberate action with three major components.
First, It's important to be and stay actively involved in your loved one's life. If possible, see them often.
The pandemic has complicated this, to be sure, but it remains important. Video chat, possibly facilitated by staff within communities or helpful neighbors, can be an effective substitute. Because short-term memory is likely affected, this can help with periodic reminders of who we are and what we look like.
Second, We need to show our loved ones that we care.
Their short-term memory may be absent, but they continue to have feelings and those can lead to depression and loneliness. Touch is important and, sadly, one of the biggest losses during this pandemic. If that's not an option, we can still remind our loved ones that we care. This includes gentle redirection when they don't recall something that we expected them to remember. Reminding them our name and relationship is usually welcome, and far better than the common accusation, "You don't remember?"
Finally, Spend time reminiscing.
Long-term memory is often much more intact than we realize. Find out by talking about times from long ago. Play music from the time and share photos. Some people go so far as to create timelines using photos to help loved ones visualize the progression of time from memorable periods to the present. I say, whatever works is what each of us should do.
In the end, we should be comforted by the time we spend with our loved ones, not frustrated by it. Make the most of what time they have left even if they no longer recognize us.
Let's make sure it's as enjoyable for us as we want it to be for them.

Whisper and Blush have been named WINNERS in the individual Wedding category at the UK Blog Awards for the last two years in a row (2016 and 2017). We have also been recognised by Hand Picked Hotels' as one of the Top 25 Wedding blogs and were named as one of the Top 10 Bridal Blogs at the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2015.
We're Melissa and Kate and have been friends since the age of 13 (scarily nearly 20 years!). We have always been huge lovers of fashion; keeping a keen eye on the latest trends and obsessing over what the A-list wear on the red carpet.
Whisper and Blush is a bridal style blog giving fashion-loving brides-to-be and their wedding guests inspiration for bridal styling; wedding guest outfits; stylish wedding suppliers and gifts; hair and makeup inspiration and even ideas as to the perfect locations for sophisticated hen do's, mini-moons and honeymoons.
We hope you like our corner of the internet where we share all things bridal style, so do grab a cuppa and have a browse – and always feel free to comment, or say "Hi" on Twitter and Instagram (@whisperandblush) we'd love to hear from you. xx
Fave Bridal Looks: I love when a bridal gown looks as stunning from the front as it does from the back. For me it's the little details that make the difference, but most important of all is the bride loving what she's wearing and owning it. Confidence is the best look of all!
Dream Groom: Hmmm close call between Chris Hemsworth (in Thor not in Home and Away) and Hugh Jackman (minus his Wolverine blades)!
Best Dressed Celebrity Bride: I absolutely loved Fearne Cotton's white sequin embellished tulle gown. It screamed laid back rock 'n' roll but with a beautiful feminine bridal edge. I also loved that she got to show off her shoes as the fabric perfectly cascaded just above the ankle!
Fave Bridal Looks: I love tulle – it's just so bridal and when else other than your wedding day can you wear it?! I am also a huge fan of colour; soft blushes and pale blues as well as some of the patterned dresses that Brides are starting to wear. Who says a wedding dress needs to be white!?
Dream Groom: David Beckham. Or Jamie Dornan (but from The Fall rather than 50 Shades… he's hotter with his beard….)
Best Dressed Celebrity Bride: I make no secret of my style crush on Olivia Palermo and totally obsess over her wedding day outfit. I am also so jealous of Beatrice Borromeo when she married into Monaco's Royal Family and the number of different dresses and styles she managed to rock over her wedding weekend. My favourite look was her lilac Valentino gown.

Michele Leonhart, Top D.E.A. Official, Is Resigning
The Obama administration's top drug enforcement official is stepping down, the Justice Department said Tuesday, after her agency's reputation was tarnished by a scandal over sex parties with prostitutes and she broke with President Obama on drug policy.
Michele M. Leonhart, the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, is ending a five-year tenure that has been marred by accusations of mismanagement. The Justice Department said in a statement that she would retire in mid-May.
Ms. Leonhart's departure follows a hearing last week in which lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee expressed outrage about her handling of reports that D.E.A. agents stationed in Colombia participated in sex parties with prostitutes paid for by drug cartels.
Seven agents who admitted to the accusations were given suspensions of two to 10 days, and under harsh questioning from the panel, Ms. Leonhart said that she was powerless to take more aggressive action such as firing them or revoking their security clearances.

Community partners seeking to volunteer at BHS, or within the Brunswick School District, need to complete this quick online background survey linked here; https://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/ap?ap=177819725
The Community Service office receives many phone calls from community partners who are looking for volunteers and we are happy to help recruit. There are two ways a community partner can recruit volunteers at Brunswick High School. Please let Mr. Wilson know well in advance of your event.
Traditional Way: (Often The Least Effective)
If you are interested in recruiting high school volunteers, please follow the steps below:
Phone Number: 319-1910 ext-2203
- The community partner calls and requests a certain number of volunteers.
- We then compose a morning announcement that is run for a few days that announces to the student body what the event and need is.
- A sign-up list in the Community Service office will be available for student's to sign up.
Be Brave, Come on in (Often The Most Effective)
Community Partners have found that recruiting volunteers in person can be very efficient under time constraints and can also place a face to their organization. The community partner can be their own best tool for recruiting. A community partner would be given a table/ booth at Brunswick High School during lunch 11-1 PM. Please contact Mr. Wilson in order to arrange this. BHS has an active Interact Community Service Club that meets weekly and welcomes community service partners who want to sare their opporunities for service. We meet each Monday directly after school.
Key questions that community partners should ask themselves;
- Do we know any Brunswick School District students between the grades of 8-12?
- Does BHS have all the key information they need? (Place, contact name, time, dress preference, partners' expectations, activity description, food available?)
- Are we able to recruit at BHS during lunch?
- Are we able to attend a BHS Interact Meeting?

The founders of Cornerstone Foundation (Australia) Inc. are Wayne and Bev Stevens. Wayne is a qualified Technology Studies teacher with 14 years teaching experience, having worked previously in the automotive industry as a fitter and turner/toolmaker and production engineer. Wayne and Bev have fostered a number of disadvantaged children over a 10 year period. They have 2 children of their own and they are also very proud grandparents.
In 1998, Wayne and Bev made the decision to spend 6 months working in a war zone among the 'Acholi' people of Kitgum, northern Uganda. During this visit Wayne and Bev saw first-hand the impact of a brutal war and the pain and suffering of children. This experience had a profound and lasting effect upon both of them. They returned to Australia with a clear vision to build 'Cornerstone Vocational College' for orphaned and destitute teenagers and provide care, support and accommodation on the Cornerstone property for elderly widows in desperate need.
Since 2000 Wayne and Bev, together with the support of the CFA Management Board and CFA members, have worked hard fundraising and planning the Cornerstone project.
It's been a long road but for all who have been involved it is exciting to see this special project finally become a reality for the people of northern Uganda.

Goodwill of Central Iowa closes 4 retail stores in response to coronavirus budget impacts
Goodwill of Central Iowa has permanently closed four retail stores and its outlet and career center because of "extreme financial hardships" brought on by coronavirus-related closures of the nonprofit organization's stores.
The organization announced last week it is closing the Grinnell, Oskaloosa, Waukee and south Des Moines locations. In addition, the south Des Moines Outlet and Career Connection Center will be closed, with plans to relocate the outlet to its headquarters in Johnston by 2021.
Goodwill of Central Iowa receives 80% of its funding through retail sales. The stores have been closed since mid-March under an order from Gov. Kim Reynolds closing all nonessential services to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
"We have a large real estate footprint and it's imperative that we make some incredibly difficult decisions now so our organization can get back on its feet and continue serving our community for years to come," a letter to Goodwill's supporters says.
As of Thursday, Goodwill reopened its Ames, Johnston, Indianola, Ottumwa, Jordan Creek, West Des Moines, Marshalltown, Urbandale, east Des Moines and Ankeny locations. Reynolds had lifted an order closing retail shops in central Iowa and other counties hit hard by the coronavirus on May 8.
Those stores have also started accepting donations.
Goodwill is requiring all employees and customers to wear a mask while shopping, and will limit the number of shoppers in each store to maintain social distancing.

But all in all it was a great learning experience that brought me joy and a quiet place to be with myself, it was a time and place were my monkey brain was not allowed to visit.
As I really enjoy art, I recently started a new smaller Art Journal with no set time limit on the pages. The idea is to do a little something in the journal every day so I can go to my Zen place daily.
Your own special place can probably be found by doing something that you really enjoy and that takes you to that quiet space we all need from time to time. It can often be reached by doing art, writing, knitting, crafting, reading, gardening and even cooking.
Do you have such a place to go too? Please share this place with us!

Hate when people next to you are talking on their phones or conversing loudly with their fellow passengers? If so, and you live in Massachusetts, you're in luck.
The MBTA, Massachusett's public transport system, started a new pilot program in which there will be a designated 'Quiet Car' on the Franklin and Fitchburg commuter rail lines during peak times. This program, launched in response to results of a recent survey of customers, began on January 3rd and will run until April 3rd, just 90 days. Afterwards, the MBTA will decide whether to continue the initiative or not on a regular basis.
On the MBTA's homepage information about the Quiet Car is provided, such as the fact that the Quiet Car will be the car located closest to the locomotive. Tips as to what is appropriate and what is not on the designated Quiet Cars are offered as well. "[On the Quiet Car] Customers are asked to: refrain from cell phone use; keep pagers, cell phones, laptop and PDA sounds off; and speak quietly. Conductors will, of course, lift the quiet car restriction in times of disruption or severe overcrowding."
I feel like this is a good experiment for the MBTA to try, and I'm happy they're responding to their clients' concerns. Although I don't think I would prefer to sit in a Quiet Car, everyone has had the experience of someone close to them talking obnoxiously loud, and so this is a nice alternative for those who are especially sensitive about volume. In addition, it can make those long, awkward train rides with semi-acquaintances less so, since now you have a REASON not to talk.
Don't worry though, if you need to talk while on the Quiet Car you can; whispering is aloud as long as it's brief.
One comment on "New 'Quiet Cars' Aboard Fitchburg and Franklin Commuter Rails"

The only train line left in the country without Quiet Cars is the MTA/LIRR in New York. I am not sure what that says about New York? That New Yorkers are better behaved? ha ha ha ha ha ha …. I was just kidding. The correct answer is: the MTA/LIRR has been saying NO to Quiet Cars for years because they could not care less about what the daily commuters want. And by the way, our riders are the MOST rude. My IPOD is on its highest setting and I STILL hear the Loudmouths yakking about their stomach gas, their boyfriends, their girlfriends, their cat diapers… cat *&^, etc…

St. Ronald Reagan's former budget director David Stockman has an absolutely brutal take down of Romney's self proclaimed strongest qualification for the Presidency – deep insights gleaned in the economy from his career as a LBO specialist. With only 4 years in public office and a record he ran from until the last debate that part of the resume is thin.
Bain Capital is a product of the Great Deformation. It has garnered fabulous winnings through leveraged speculation in financial markets that have been perverted and deformed by decades of money printing and Wall Street coddling by the Fed. So Bain's billions of profits were not rewards for capitalist creation; they were mainly windfalls collected from gambling in markets that were rigged to rise.
Nevertheless, Mitt Romney claims that his essential qualification to be president is grounded in his 15 years as head of Bain Capital, from 1984 through early 1999. According to the campaign's narrative, it was then that he became immersed in the toils of business enterprise, learning along the way the true secrets of how to grow the economy and create jobs. The fact that Bain's returns reputedly averaged more than 50 percent annually during this period is purportedly proof of the case—real-world validation that Romney not only was a striking business success but also has been uniquely trained and seasoned for the task of restarting the nation's sputtering engines of capitalism.
Except Mitt Romney was not a businessman; he was a master financial speculator who bought, sold, flipped, and stripped businesses. He did not build enterprises the old-fashioned way—out of inspiration, perspiration, and a long slog in the free market fostering a new product, service, or process of production. Instead, he spent his 15 years raising debt in prodigious amounts on Wall Street so that Bain could purchase the pots and pans and castoffs of corporate America, leverage them to the hilt, gussy them up as reborn "roll-ups," and then deliver them back to Wall Street for resale—the faster the better.
That is the modus operandi of the leveraged-buyout business, and in an honest free-market economy, there wouldn't be much scope for it because it creates little of economic value. But we have a rigged system—a regime of crony capitalism—where the tax code heavily favors debt and capital gains, and the central bank purposefully enables rampant speculation by propping up the price of financial assets and battering down the cost of leveraged finance.
Stockman follows up with specific examples of the financial engineering and tax arbitrage that enabled Bain's success.
It is an analysis that I tend to agree with. Mitt Romney keeps preaching (including in the debate two weeks ago) that he was a job creator. Yet as his business partners have noted, Bain was not in the business of job creation. They were there to make their investors money. Most of the jobs Romney claims arise from a minor and short lived investment in Staples, with a lot of the Staples job growth happening after Bain cashed out.
Now Romney obviously was very good at what he did. But whether a tax arbitrage speculator gets any special insight in the macro economy is an open question. He is obviously more comfortable talking about economic issues (as opposed to foreign policy), but the policies he has issued (with little detail) are largely supply side nonsense – perhaps because saying anything else will be political suicide in his party.
The other thing that bothers me about Bain, is that they represent some of the worst parasitic forms of capitalism that has infected American industry in the last 30 years. Many of these acquisitions were accompanied by slashing benefits for workers to make sure the speculators got their dough. So while compensation at the top has ballooned, middle-class incomes have stagnated or in some cases declined. To this blogger it is a recipe for a slow decline into stratified oligarchy and likely social unrest in the future. This country needs a long hard discussion whether the preferential tax treatment for the gamblers of capital is actually justified.

Project Description
The EBRD is considering an equity investment in Central-Asian Electric Power Corporation (CAEPCo), a private energy holding of power utility companies in Pavlodar, Petropavlovsk, Ekibastuz and Astana, to finance major rehabilitation investments aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and improving the environmental standard of power generation and distribution assets.
Transition Impact
The project will support a dynamic local private sponsor active in the power utility sector in Kazakhstan. It will facilitate implementation of an ambitious investment programme leading to significant improvements in efficiency and environmental standards, in line with the Sustainable Energy Action Plan signed between the EBRD and the Government of Kazakhstan in June 2008. The transaction will demonstrate to other market participants that tangible investments in the power sector can be pursued based on tariff increases approved within the existing regulatory framework in Kazakhstan.
The Bank's participation as an equity investor in the company will also facilitate the future IPO to further diversify the investors' base and attract interest from the private sector.
The Client
Investee: Central-Asian Electric Power Corporation (CAEPCo), a private energy holding of power utility companies in major cities of Northern Kazakhstan.
Sponsor: Central-Asian Power-Energy Company (CAPEC), a private holding company with interests in the energy, industrial and financial sectors in Kazakhstan.
EBRD Finance
The Bank is considering an equity investment in CAEPCo potentially along with other local private strategic investors.
Project Cost
Subject to final valuation.
Environmental Impact
Screening category and applicable performance requirements
The Project has been screened B, requiring an Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) consisting of a corporate environmental and social review of existing operations and an environmental analysis of the planned investment programme. Environmental and social impacts from the operation and upgrade of combined heat and power plants as well as district heating and electricity distribution systems can be readily identified, assessed and mitigated.
Key Environmental and Social Issues and due diligence results
The main environmental issue is associated with energy efficiency as well as air emissions from the generating assets. Waste management and water use could also raise significant issues and needs to be assessed. The environmental and social due diligence confirmed that the current and planned operations are in compliance with National environmental standards and the planned investment programme is structured to meet National and EU environmental standards.
Overall, the proposed project will further improve the environmental performance of the Company and allow for higher energy efficiency levels and future compliance with best international environmental standards and practices.
Summary of Environmental and Social Action Plan
As a result of the environmental and social due diligence, a comprehensive ESAP has been prepared to address future operations of the Company and implementation of the Bank's Performance Requirements (PRs). This includes the development of a systematic approach to environmental issues at the Company and individual site level, including the implementation of an environmental, health and safety management system as well as further investments to reduce energy use as well as improve the abatement of air emissions and wastewater in line with best international practice. The Company plans to continue to invest to improve health and safety. A Stakeholder Engagement Programme (SEP) has been developed by the Company, which will include the publication of annual information on environmental and social matters on the Company's web sites, as well as local information in local newspapers, as appropriate. A grievance mechanism will be maintained by the Company.
The implementation of the investment program as agreed in the ESAP is structured to allow the attainment of Kazakh as well as EU environmental standards and will significantly improve the company's environmental management and overall performance. However, the coal fired power plants will not attain emission value levels (EVL) as required for existing plants under the EU Large Combustion Plant (LCP) Directive in the medium to long term. The planned use of wet scrubbers will significantly reduce emissions of SOx and dust in a cost effective manner and will result in significant improvement of local air quality and therefore improved public health. The agreed EVL will be more stringent than Kazakh requirements post 2013 and will result in visible and tangible improvements.

So far this summer, the NBA offseason has seen stars changing teams, GMs throwing millions at middling talents like Darko Milicic and Drew Gooden, teams like the Bulls and Jazz becoming contenders, while teams like the Suns and Hawks ensconced themselves squarely in the second tier of the NBA's caste system. If you can look past the elephant in the room, there's been a whole lot of furniture rearranged.
But as you know—as everyone knows—LeBron James, the elephant, obscured it all. The years-long buildup, the week-long buzz of back-and-forth rumors, the crescendo of LeBron's narcissism, and the subsequent cascade of name-calling and wild predictions. He cast a shadow over everything.
It all felt like satire, but it was actually about as real as sports gets.
Media begging for news, then moralizing to no end once they got it. ESPN pulling back the curtains, forsaking the illusion of journalistic independence. NBA teams proving once and for all that it is, indeed, "a player's league." And of course LeBron James, the star at the center, who revealed himself to be what most mega-celebrities are: self-obsessed, detached from reality, and not very smart. He wasn't LeBron the basketball player this past month. He was LeBron, the person with a comically outsized view of himself, one eye on brand-building, another on Miami.
I mention this now because it's tough to get excited about what LeBron decided, because if we do, it feels an awful lot like we're validating The Decision. Like we're validating LeBron's worldview.
For about a week, the nation was entranced by a celebrity that'd become completely detached from reality. And now it's hard to separate our resentment for that celebrity from our current reality. But...
What's our current reality?
Don't let LeBron distract you: This will be awesome. Really, really awesome. LeBron James might just be the catalyst for the NBA's salvation. We've been conditioned to resent him, of course, but hear me out.
With news that Chris Paul has demanded a trade to a team with more talent, you've got a lot of people crowing about lack of loyalty, and the slow erosion of competitive balance in the NBA. That's the LeBron-effect. LeBron's whole charade felt wrong, so its implications can't be much better. Right?
As Ken Berger wrote when he broke the news of Paul's trade demand: "Call it the Miami Model, the South Beach Effect, or whatever you want. It's the new normal for young NBA superstars looking for a new home and a better chance to win."
You can feel disgust dripping through those words.
But basically, now that LeBron's established the standard for great teams, his peers are no longer satisfied with "good." They want great, too, even if it means forcing the hand of franchises that would otherwise give them the world. But if New Orleans' world isn't enough for Chris Paul, who seems like pretty great guy, shouldn't we be concerned?
For the answer, we turn to this outstanding scene from Wall Street:
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Greed, in all of its forms.
Greed—for life, for money, for love, knowledge—has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A.
Yep. Gordon Gekko hits the nail on the head with the NBA in 2010. Greed is good. Greed works.
Think about what Chris Paul means right now. He's an insanely talented athlete playing for a team that's average at best, and forgettable in the long run. Aside from his significance in New Orleans, what does that do for the rest of us?
Will we tell future generations about Paul's 45-win Hornets teams?
Will we wax poetic about the Chris Paul-David West fastbreaks?
Will we watch the Hornets' 58-point playoff loss on ESPN Classic?
Right now, Chris Paul is a superstar at the height of his powers, toiling in relative obscurity.
Now think about what Chris Paul could mean on the Orlando Magic. Think of the rivalry with Miami that would take hold of the league for the next five years. The best point guard in the league running pick-and-roll with the best center in the league. Can that combination beat a team with two of the best players in NBA history? Imagine the possibilities. Where will amazing happen this year? If Chris Paul goes to Orlando... "Florida."
Or think about what Chris Paul could mean on the New York Knicks. Bringing prestige back to the most prestigious basketball city in America. The Knicks with Chris Paul and Amare Stoudemire might score 120 points-a-game, regardless of whether Carmelo shows up in 2011 to create equal and opposite reaction to Miami's big three. Would we wax poetic about CP3 running the break with Carmelo and Amare? God yes.
Or Oklahoma City, the dark horse here. Wouldn't CP-and-KD be the perfect candidate in our search for the "Good" to battle Miami's "Evil"? After LeBron, a lot of people have said, "I never thought I would root for Kobe, but now..." Except, that'll never feel right. But rooting for Kevin Durant and Chris Paul, two of the NBA's most beloved young superstars? They'd be the perfect foil for both the Lakers and Heat, giving Kevin Durant the help he needs to unseat LeBron as the face of this basketball generation, and giving America a rooting interest for the next years.
See how greed works? In any of the above scenarios, basketball fans win the chance to savor the prime of the best point guard in the NBA, and enjoy rivalries the likes of which we haven't seen since the 1980s. If Paul stays in New Orleans, none of that happens.
It's perfect. There are just three counter-arguments that need to be addressed.
1. LeBron Ruined Everything. Listen, I understand why people see what's happening with Chris Paul and want to blame LeBron James for ruining the NBA. But this is not the "LeBron Era." Lord knows, James deserves every bit of scorn thrown in his direction after the nauseating journey he engineered over the past six weeks. But don't let LeBron distract you, and don't think that Bron has somehow "poisoned" Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, or any other superstar that wants to go somewhere and play with teammates befitting a superstar.
As much as Maverick Carter and the rest of "Team LeBron" would like to take credit for establishing some grand ideology, it's not like LeBron performed inception on Carmelo and Chris Paul. These are players that want to win championships, and given the salary cap and other constraints, that's not always possible in a place like New Orleans or Denver.
LeBron just allowed players like Chris Paul to say that out loud. Because the Heat demand a counterpoint. Do you really think the other superstars in this league are just going to concede the next six years to the Lakers and Heat? No, and they shouldn't.
So don't make LeBron James the face of "the Superteam Era." Put Chris Paul on the Magic, and make them your Superteam. Or the Knicks. Or whomever. Because that's what'll define this new era. The "Miami Model" will be awesome, just not in Miami, where it's starring an egomaniac that went on National TV to backstab his hometown.
But with Chris Paul and Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City? Hmm...
2. What Happened To Building Your Own Superpower? This is a popular argument these days. The idea that this generation's stars don't understand what greatness means, or something.
With LeBron, it's fair to a certain extent. He didn't just go to a better team. He joined forces with one of only two or three players that could realistically be called his equal. This isn't Michael finding Scottie--it's Magic joining Larry. That's lame, and whether it's injuries, chemistry conflicts, or Chris Paul going to Oklahoma City, it'll probably be punished by terrible karma. LeBron-and-Wade is so unnatural and counter-intuitive, it doesn't even make that much sense from a basketball standpoint.
But let's not indict an entire generation, here. Whether it's Michael Jordan shaking his head saying "That's the way the game is today," or this e-mail from ESPN's Bill Simmons' most recent mailbag, the crowing about the current generation needs to stop:
Young kids everywhere are going to see this and think that it's better to take the easier road to success instead of taking the chance at being great. If you have a chance at transcendence but it seems just a little too hard or too much for you to handle, then don't go for it. Take the easy road. That's the lesson learned and the trend set for this generation.
But then again, this is also the generation that airs out their beef on Facebook/Twitter. This is the generation that could never understand what JFK's quote "We do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard" really means. Hell, this is the generation that thinks the greatest rapper of all time is a Canadian who got famous because he was on a Nickelodeon show. So maybe LeBron's just a product of his time and he's just doing what he thinks is right.
-- Sopan, New Brunswick, N.J.
While I appreciate the gratutious shot at Drake in that e-mail, and the connection between LeBron's psychology and instant gratification seems self-explanatory, let's clarify: LeBron's personal weakness in choosing not to compete against Wade isn't some sort of generational disease. As a fan that's distinctly of this generation, having watched most of these guys play in high school, and then matured with them as the years passed, I feel like I should stick up for my insanely-athletic, multi-millionaire peers.
We're not all like LeBron.
James joining Wade was weak, and it's completely fair to call out his manhood there. But Chris Paul forcing a trade would be smart, and ultimately, it's the most competitive thing he could do right now. It's not shrinking from the challenge; it's seeking out teammates that'll allow him to become a real threat to the NBA's new superpower.
Look at the Lakers. Nobody questions Kobe for having some of the most expensive teammates in basketball. He's not lazy or obsessed with Twitter and an example of why this generation's doomed. It's just... that's what it takes to win these days.
But how many other franchises could afford to foot the bill for that payroll? Five? Ten? There are certain realities about today's NBA that have to be acknowledged. Which leads us to...
3. Will Chris Paul Kill Basketball In New Orleans? It's a fair question. If Chris Paul leaves New Orleans, can that franchise survive? After all that's happened to that city, it's a sensitive subject. Nobody wants to see New Orleans lose its team. But at the risk of insensitivity, the Hornets are an example of a larger problem in the NBA. It's two-fold:
- There are too many teams.
- There are too many teams like the Hornets, who have no money.
Since David Stern's not going to contract a team anytime soon, and there aren't a whole lot of billionaires walking around looking to sink hundreds of millions into a basketball team, these fundamental realities will continue to plague the NBA. With 30 teams, the talent is spread thin, and the only mitigating factor is a team's ability to exceed the luxury tax and horde the talent. Most teams can't do that.
So if you're a superstar, wouldn't you want to go to a team that can? If you're a competitor, wouldn't you want to be competing with the best of the best, year-in and year-out?
And if the Hornets can't compete with the Lakers or Magic or Knicks, and Chris Paul leaves to go to one of those teams, killing basketball in New Orleans... Isn't that evolution?
The idea that we're witnessing an inferior generation of superstars is just offensive. All the greatest NBA dynasties were cast in a bygone era, before the luxury tax arrived, and before the league had grown to a bloated 30 teams. The NBA's Golden Years were back in the 1980s.
No matter what happens every June, we always hearken back to that glorious decade, and those legendary battles, where manhood was on the line and it felt like time stopped. Well guess what? Today, the 76ers, Lakers, and Celtics of the 1980s would be splintered by the economic realities of the NBA, or separated by the NBA Draft before they ever coalesced. Not even a question.
And Jordan? When Michael Jordan's Bulls drafted Scottie Pippen, there were 23 teams in the NBA. Can you imagine some of the dynasties that would crop up if you divided seven NBA teams among the remaining 23?
Imagine if the Raptors didn't exist and Chris Bosh had been drafted by the Heat. Or if the Bobcats distributed their starting lineup among playoff teams last year. Or if Tyreke Evans and Kevin Love played for contenders. We could do this all day long.
It would suck for the cities like New Orleans, but wouldn't the NBA product be better off with, say, five less teams?
Um, don't answer that.
Besides, it'll never happen. It's just an example of why it's ridiculous to point to guys like Jordan and Magic and say that these players toay are taking the easy way out. What we're seeing instead are players taking the "Miami Model" as a call to action. Where people like Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony take their destinies into their own hands, forming dynasties of their own.
It's selfish, it's mean, and it's downright greedy. But to paraphrase Gordon Gekko, "greed, you mark my words, will not only save Chris Paul, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the NBA."
As an NBA fan, would you rather have 10 good teams, or three-to-four great teams?
It's not a sign of weakness or laziness, and it's not LeBron poisoning the NBA punch bowl.
It's competition. It's players using their leverage on the free market. It's evolution. And it could be the best answer yet to the NBA glory years of the 1980s. Gordon Gekko would be proud.

Digital Marketing Essentials for Your Ecommerce Store in 2021
E Commerce is one of the most competitive industries out there today. Whether you sell a product or provide a service, you'll need a robust strategy to reach your goals and grow your business. So how can you help your business stand out from your competitors in 2021?
The answer lies in your digital marketing strategies. By using the latest and greatest ecommerce marketing strategies, like leveraging social media and search engine optimization, you'll be able to build brand awareness, drive business sales and growth in a competitive landscape.
Keep reading for some solid eCommerce marketing tactics you can implement in 2021 to keep your business ahead of the curve.
1. Use Social Media to Engage and Retain Your Audience
As an ecommerce business, you should be prepared to spend more time and resources on your social media marketing efforts in 2021. This year, marketers are making customer engagement and retention a top priority, and you should too. The pandemic has caused a dramatic increase in the amount of time people spend online, including how much they research products, brands and organizations.
This shift in consumerism will create new opportunities for your business to increase your reach among new audiences and the ability to re-engage with loyal customers. You can do so by designing engaging landing pages (for example, using some of these landing page builders), developing a content plan, posting regularly, monitoring and driving customer responses and attracting new business. If you've been putting off adding social media to your marketing mix, then now is the perfect time to do so.
2. Utilize Virtual Events
The rise of virtual events might have been due to the stay-at-home orders, but it looks like they are here to stay because of their great ROI and accessibility characteristics. Many companies found that once they went virtual, they opened up their events to a global stage bringing in new audiences. In addition, virtual events were way more accessible than in-person events.
Plus, there were many added benefits to hosting a virtual event in comparison to an in-person one. Things like visas, travel restrictions and costs become cut from the equation once you decide to put your event online, and this also allows for a higher attendance and more participation. This means lower costs and a higher ROI.
The key to running a successful virtual event lies in getting creative, driving engagement through great speakers, providing high value content and also having fun with it. In 2021, and beyond, virtual events will be a popular outlet to engage a broad audience.
3. Updated Google Listings and Local SEO Practices
If you have an ecommerce website to compliment your brick and mortar store, one of the most critical things you must do for your digital marketing strategy is make sure that your local listings are verified and kept updated across all searching platforms. This is because for B2C businesses looking to attract customers on a local level (for example a dentist, or car dealership), the Google My Business platform offers valuable information about your hours, services and geographical location. This information can change quite a lot, especially because of changing COVID-19 regulations, so it's important to keep your customers up-to-date.
4. Move to Automated Bidding in Google Ads
Automated bidding on Google Ads has been a feature for a long time. This option allows you to input your specific parameters like price and volume and the Google machine will do the rest of the work for you. Marketers are constantly tweaking and adjusting campaigns, keywords and bids to get the most of your advertising budget. But the problem is this adjusting comes at a cost in terms of hours and management fees.
While automatic bidding is not new, it has had a lot of major changes and adjustments since its debut in 2016, making it a more viable option today. And ultimately, it is set to deliver a much better outcome now while also cutting costs to your marketing budget.
5. Keep an Eye on Voice Search
Voice search is not yet part of the Google algorithm, however, it still has impacts on current search results. Voice search queries usually give different results than if a user had typed out a text-based search. For your SEO, it's a good idea for you to be open to voice search components for customers who are adapting and switching over to using it.
You can optimize your content for voice by making it more direct and conversational so it will accurately sync with potential search queries. This will help you increase your traffic by staying relevant to consumers who opt for voice search.
6. Focus on Improved Retention Vs. Segmentation
It's well-known in business that it takes less money to keep an existing customer compared to gaining a new one. Expert marketers agree that putting more effort into later stages of your buyer's journey is more worth it than putting it at the beginning. If your customers are happy, they will tend to recommend and provide referrals for your business. They will also likely give you direct and honest feedback about your products or services that will help you strengthen your brand.
Darshan Somashekar, a serial entrepreneur who runs Unscrambled Words, recommends focusing on differentiation. "It's always better to be different than better. That's how we approach all our businesses. With our newest word unscrambling product, we focused on creating an entirely new user experience that was customer driven to stand out from the competition. "
Make sure to always keep your long-time customers in the loop about any organizational changes or processes that could affect your relationship. You can do this through email marketing or engaging through social media. By collecting data about your audience and segmenting them, you have an opportunity to save on the costs of acquisition while at the same time delivering your products or services. This will also allow you to target repeat customers more effectively, and this can help you stretch your marketing dollars even further.

Not my usual topic; but it was so awesome, I had to share.
Last year, my second child came home from school a wreck. There were tears filling in her eyes. My heart melted. She hadn't ever come home from school like this. I couldn't imagine what the problem would be. Throwing my arms around her and gathering her up, she broke down. I looked at my mom (who had brought the kids home)f or understanding, and she was smiling! Now I was really confused.
Finally, she calmed down and I asked what on earth the problem was.
K quietly mumbled that she had boy issues.
My stomach dropped. Somewhere, a little part of me died as it screamed "TOO SOON!"
I reigned in my mini freak out and waited.
She poured out a lot of words all at once and this is the closest I can get it– imagine it as one very,very long word:
So at breakfast this morning, Hugh told…

Made Easy
NextDesign Swap
The Kontain Platform.
Kontain is a destination for creatives to express and share their life and work through all forms of media. Kontain is the brain child of Fi CEO David Hugh Martin, who has been evolving the concept since 1999. Kontain's main goal was to be so easy your mom could use it, and of course look beautiful while doing so. As active members in a variety of social platforms, our belief was, while there are some tremendous experiences available today, there is serious room for improvement in the way we interact online. With Kontain, we tried to provide an easy and more aesthetically pleasing way to upload, manage and share media. With a large emphasis on aesthetics and ease of use, we were very humbled and honored to have been nominated for a webby, Best Visual Design - Function.
My Role
Design, UX
Teamed up with Fi's CEO David Martin, creative direction / information architecture / visual design was our main task, and I think that we have achieved one of (if not the) best looking social media platform on the web. We were lucky enough to have had the best technical support behind us. Communicating all the design and functionality to the tech team, was something that I took on, and preformed in our daily meetings.

The aim of this focus is to find if this concept is correct, or if it is beyond the economic substance. Subsequently, I have analyzed the performance of selected countries from Euro Zone by means of using basic fiscal criteria of the Maastricht Treaty from 1998 to 2009 and how fiscal criteria affect state budget in the long and short term time periods. The last part is focused on one of possible solutions reducing government deficits - the securitization and bond issue.

Passover has come and gone, but the effects of Jewlicious Festival linger for many participants and presenters. The JF Facebook profile has a message board full of "thank yous" and "awesomes," and many of the participants have added new West Coast friends and post "miss yous" on their walls. (Yes, I realize that if you're not on Facebook, that paragraph might have meant nothing. But trust me, it's good.)
You've undoubtedly seen some of our press immediately after the event, which was wonderful. And while we've also waxed near-rhapsodic in this space about how great the festival was, I think it's more interesting to see the blog posts that may spring up as a result of the festival in the coming months. It's a chance for us all to join the conversation about how young Jews are living their Jewish lives and whether the institutional Jewish community is supporting or resentful of those efforts.
OyBay, itself an organic outgrowth of its founder's experiences at last year's Jewlicious conference, is a tremendous example of how the conference had an impact. Based on his Jewlicious experiences, Tomer "Oyster" Altman took the initiative to create an online community and events publication for young Bay Area Jews; as a result and with the help of Sonoma Hillel, he was able to gather a busload of participants to drive the five hours from Northern California to Long Beach. In fact, the partnership with Sonoma Hillel was born when Tomer ran into his friend David, the Sonoma Hillel director, in the airport after his Jewlicious birthright israel trip. Check out the OyBay account of the trip (written by ChallahbackGirl and Oyster himself) here.
Another post that interested me was JKap's post about the conference–his excitement that there was such inspiring young Jewish energy available and his frustration that the organized Jewish community seems unable to find and tap into it. Pre-Pesach, he posted a plea that the young Jews make contact with the federations who miss them. Will the young Jews "make the first move," or wait until the federations create the programming that will attract them? I guess we'll all have to stay tuned to see–but the Jewlicious Festival can be proud of having had an impact on jump-starting the conversation.

Our friends over at Horror Pack sent us one of their November boxes to review and it has a couple of gems as well as a couple movies I have yet to seen including the remake of Flattliners. I have been holding off on that for as long as I could, but since Horror Pack included it this month, I'll have to find time to watch it and congratulations for Eliot Page(formerly Ellen Page, for coming out as Transgender!).
This months box came with Dead Ant starring Tom Arnold which is basically a hair metal creature feature and it worked for me. It wasn't great or all that good, but it was serviceable enough to sit through. It also came with the great The Conjuring, I understand why people wanna shit on these movies because of the Warrens background. However, The Conjuring restored my faith in horror movies in the 2000s.
The one movie I have never heard of in the November box was called Bloodline, sometimes Horror Pack has exclusives for independent horror films, so I'm curious if Bloodlines is one of those. This is a rather impressive month for horror pack.
Overall grade for products: 4/5 stars
