There is an ancient and widespread tradition of olive oil in Catalonia. In order to better understand all the secrets, the cooperatives and wineries of the towns where this thousand-year old tradition continues, invite you to visit them and go on a journey through the olive oil culture. Welcome to olive oil tourism. Get ready to enjoy olive oil.
Olive oils 'affected' by the Tramuntana wind
Olive trees from L'Empordà are different. The strength of the tramuntana wind forces the trees to twist to remain standing giving the olives a special flavour. We have a route to propose so that you can enjoy the scents, flavours and landscapes sculpted by the tramuntana: take the car and head for Castelló d'Empúries in order to enjoy all that the Alt Empordà has to offer in a radius of 25km. Taste the olive oils from the cooperatives in the area and enjoy a spot of culture by visiting the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres or the painter's house in Portlligat, Cadaqués. You will also be able to discover the offers of the new wine cellars of D.O. Empordà and enjoy gastronomic dishes made from local products. Be careful not to be blown away by the wind.
The olive trees in the shade of Montserrat
Collbató has been the gateway to Montserrat for centuries, one of the most important cultural and spiritual centres in Catalonia, and it is also the land of olive trees. During a weekend, you will be able to visit the corners of this villa, following the olive oil route. The experience leads you to a tasting of original olive oil from Collbató and walk through the historic old town that includes a visit to the artisan workshop of Blancfort pipe organs and the house where the musician Amadeu Vives was born, the city's illustrious son. Enjoy a good virgin olive oil with views of the magic mountain!
Olive oil with designation of origin from Spain's Costa Daurada
The Masroig winery opens its doors for you to taste its olive olive oils. They are made from 100% arbequina olives with Protected 'Siruana' Designation of Origin , one of the five olive oil D.O.P. which Catalonia has. A walk through its olive groves, its vineyards and its windmill is a perfect marriage of traditional countryside and agriculture. During the guided tour, you will be able to enjoy an olive oil tasting which includes both filtered olive oil and 'first press' olive oil. This first press of the season is of a higher density and a bit cloudy… but exquisite! You can also enjoy D.O. wine. Montsant, which the Masroig winery also produces.
Thousand-year old tasting in the Terres de l'Ebre
In Ulldecona, at the Arión estate, stands the largest concentration of millennium-old olive trees in the world. There are almost 200 of them, one of which is more than 1,700 years old. This is home to the Arion Natural Museum of Olive trees, where you can see almost forty thousand-year old olive trees. You will be able to sample the thousand-year old, single-variety olive oil and visit its facilities. And after that, we propose a dose of culture and history of Ulldecona town. Firstly, a visit to the walled enclosure of the medieval castle and its ruins. And later, a short excursion to the Godall mountain range, to the Shelters of the Ermita de la Pietat, a cave where a large number of cave paintings of great quality are hidden, declared UNESCO World Heritage site. And all that in just one day!
Iberian olive oil in Arbeca
Before getting started, we make a stop in the agro-store of the tourist office and at the windmills of the Cooperative and Ca l'Argilés de Arbeca in order to taste a good arbequina olive oil. Once we have regained our strength, it is time for the guided tour to the Fortress, this town's Iberian site. You will be taken aback by its magnitude and by the moat that surrounds it. This place, built 2,800 years ago, is unique in the Catalan Iberian world and was the work of the ilergets, one of the most significant peoples of the Iberian world, since they controlled a large of the current districts of Segrià, La Noguera, L'Urgell, Les Garrigues and the eastern lands of Aragon. And if you want the perfect finish to your weekend, we recommend a tasting of D.O. wine. Costers del Segre at the Vinya els Vilars wine cellar and nice walk in the area surrounding the Arbeca castle, which has 365 windows, one for every day of the year.
Much more than just olive oil tourism through the Terres de Lleida
Tasting the olive oil from the Terres de Lleida is in this case the perfect excuse to head out this weekend. And there are many more activities on offer. In Os de Balaguer take a guided tour of the olive oil mill and the medieval castle and a 4×4 excursion to Balma dels Vilars and enjoy its cave paintings. You will be also be able to observe the stars at the Montsec de Àger Astronomy Park. And in Agramunt, a triple guided tour of the Espai Guinovart centre of contemporary art, the air-raid shelter at the Santa María Roman Church and the Nougat and Chocolate Museum. You can also enjoy a Ratafia or wine tasting in the artisan wineries in the area. A full-on weekend.

Calmodulin-independent, agonistic properties of a peptide containing the calmodulin binding site of estrogen receptor alpha
ICR Author
Journal Article
MetadataShow full item record
Calmodulin (CaM) contributes to estrogen receptor alpha (ER)-mediated transcription. In order to study the underlying mechanisms, we synthesized a peptide including the CaM binding site: ERalpha17p (P(295)-T(311)). This peptide inhibited ER-CaM association, unlike two analogs in which two amino acids required for CaM binding were substituted. Exposure of MCF-7 cells to ERalpha17p down regulated ER, stimulated ER-dependent transcription and enhanced the proliferation of ER-positive breast cancer cell lines. Interestingly, ERalpha17p analogs unable to bind to CaM induced similar responses, demonstrating that ERalpha17p-mediated effects are mainly relevant to mechanisms independent of ER-CaM dissociation. The P(295)-T(311) motif is indeed a platform for multiple post-translational modifications not necessarily CaM-dependent. The additional finding that deletion of the P(295)-T(311) sequence in ER produced a constitutive transcriptional activity revealed that this platform motif has autorepressive functions. With regard to cell function, association of CaM to ER would counteract this autorepression, leading thereby to enhanced ER-mediated transactivation.

This International Tiger Day, the tiger selfie should go extinct
The demand for 'once in a lifetime' experiences and selfies are driving both animal cruelty and the global trade in wild animals. We've teamed up with Toronto-based visual artist Briony Douglas to raise awareness about the terrible harm caused by wildlife selfies, especially those taken with tigers.
Today, July 29, marks International Tiger Day and this year, we're hoping the tiger selfie finally goes extinct.
Briony Douglas, whose colourful works frequently combine elements of surrealism and pop culture, wanted to send a message to travelers not to unwittingly support the suffering of tigers. She created a mixed-media piece showing a tiger trying to escape a selfie frame.
"At this moment in history, we have access to experiences that previous generations couldn't have dreamed of, that we can capture at the click of a button," said Briony. "These experiences have almost become routine, and we don't even stop to question the morality of keeping wild animals caged for our amusement. Tigers should be free, not trapped in a tourist's selfie frame and a lifetime of cruelty."
Watch Briony's full behind-the-scenes process:
Tigers are bred for wildlife tourism and the traditional medicine industry. As the demand for "once in a lifetime" experiences grow, the "tiger selfie" is driving animal cruelty and the global trade in wild animals.
While tiger cubs remain with their mothers for two years in the wild, those bred in captivity are separated from their mothers within weeks of their birth so they can be used as photo props for tourist selfies. It's a global problem. Here in Canada, tigers have been bred for use as photo props by roadside zoos and exotic pet owners. The situation is even worse in Thailand where tigers live in cruel conditions and are subject to abuse to keep them submissive enough to entertain tourists. Most live in small concrete cages or barren enclosures with limited access to fresh water.
"Tourists are unaware of the harm and neglect that goes on behind the scenes of each click of the camera," said Melissa Matlow, Campaign Director for World Animal Protection, Canada. "It's our demand to see these animals up close that is fueling the trade and captive breeding of tigers. While tourism has come to a halt due to COVID-19, we are asking the industry to build back better. The 'tiger selfie' should go extinct."
You can see more of Briony's piece, simply called Tiger, on display virtually on Instagram. Take a closer look and share the post to spread awareness about the harm of tiger selfies in celebration International Tiger Day.

Insulin Pump Program
Insulin Pump Program
After intense advocacy and campaigning by JDRF the Federal Government's Insulin Pump Program (IPP) was established in 2008. The IPP provides insulin pumps to families who have children under 18 years of age with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and meet the financial and clinical eligibility requirements. This life changing technology would otherwise be out of reach for these children.
Since its inception the IPP has provided over 1500 insulin pumps to children with T1D. JDRF has continued to advocate to expand the program based on the unmet demand from families. In the 2018-19 Budget, the government provided additional funding to the Insulin Pump Program, allowing approximately 220 children to access fully subsidised insulin pumps each year.

The details of the Insulin Pump Program
JDRF are the administrators of the Federal Government Insulin Pump Program. To improve access to the program, the Government has introduced a number of changes since its inception. Here's what you need to know:
- The number of pumps fully subsidised under the program has increased from 68 pumps per year to approximately 220 pumps per year.
- The pumps available under the Insulin Pump Program are: Minimed 640G (Medtronic) and Minimed 770G (Medtronic).
- Pumps are given with approximately three months' initial supply of pump consumables.
'Like winning the lottery'
When I got the call from JDRF to say that Lily had been successful and was now a recipient of a JDRF Insulin Pump it was what I imagine winning the lottery feels like. We have only had the insulin pump for two weeks now but the difference it has made to Lily's quality of life is magical. She's a much happier little girl who isn't afraid of meal times and the injections that come with eating. I am so thankful for the support of JDRF and the Federal Government.
– Chelsea, South Australia
Eligibility for the Insulin Pump Program
To be eligible to lodge an expression of interest for an insulin pump under the program, families must meet the following criteria:
- Child is under the age of 18 years
- A combined annual income of up to $108,892
- Do not have access to an insulin pump through private health insurance
- Eligible to access Medicare benefits
- An Australian or New Zealand Citizen
- Permanent residents or those that have applied to become permanent residents may also be eligible – get in touch with the JDRF team to find out more
JDRF is unable to guarantee that families who have expressed an interest will receive an insulin pump under the program. Families are also required to discuss the suitability of insulin pump therapy with their child's healthcare team. For more details regarding eligibility please refer to the FAQs below.

Excerpts from Ronan Farrow's upcoming book Catch and Kill, which is about his investigation into Harvey Weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct, and how NBC News allegedly made that pursuit quite difficult, were released overnight. The book in its entirety comes out next Tuesday.
While much of the book focuses on Weinstein and NBC News, the excerpts released today by Variety are about former Today show anchor Matt Lauer, and they allege some pretty awful behavior by the morning show mainstay that eventually got him terminated from the network in Nov. 2017.
According to Variety, Farrow writes that Meredith Viera's former assistant at NBC News, Brooke Nevils, alleges that at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Lauer raped her in his hotel room.
The full details of her allegations, notably the hotel room rape, had not been made public until now. Nevils' identity hadn't been made public until now either.
Today show co-anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb reacted to the news this morning on the program, after NBC News correspondent Morgan Radford reported. Radford said NBC News reached out to Lauer regarding the allegations in the report, but had not heard back. Radford also read the network's statement: "Matt Lauer's conduct was appalling, horrific and reprehensible, as we said at the time, that's why he was fired within 24 hours of us first learning of the complaint."
Here are Guthrie and Kotb:

— TODAY (@TODAYshow) October 9, 2019
*UPDATE: Here's a letter from Matt Lauer, sent via his legal representatives this morning. It addresses allegations put forth in Farrow's book, and "numerous erroneous reports."
Over the past two years people have asked why I have not spoken out to defend myself more vigorously against some of the false and salacious allegations leveled at me. It is a fair question and the answer is deeply personal. Despite my desire to set the record straight and confront the individuals making false allegations, I wanted nothing less than to create more headlines my kids would read and a new gathering of photographers at the end of our driveway. So I decided to just stay quiet and work on repairing my relationship with the people I love. It has been the most important full-time job I have ever had.
But my silence has been a mistake.
Today, nearly two years after I was fired by NBC, old stories are being recycled, titillating details are being added, and a dangerous and defamatory new allegation is being made. All are being spread as part of a promotional effort to sell a book. It's outrageous. So, after not speaking out to protect my children, it is now with their full support I say "enough."
In a new book, it is alleged that an extramarital, but consensual, sexual encounter I have previously admitted having, was in fact an assault. It is categorically false, ignores the facts, and defies common sense.
I had an extramarital affair with Brooke Nevils in 2014. It began when she came to my hotel room very late one night in Sochi, Russia. We engaged in a variety of sexual acts. We performed oral sex on each other, we had vaginal sex, and we had anal sex. Each act was mutual and completely consensual.
The story Brooke tells is filled with false details intended only to create the impression this was an abusive encounter. Nothing could be further from the truth. There was absolutely nothing aggressive about that encounter. Brooke did not do or say anything to object. She certainly did not cry. She was a fully enthusiastic and willing partner. At no time did she behave in a way that made it appear she was incapable of consent. She seemed to know exactly what she wanted to do. The only concern she expressed was that someone might see her leaving my room. She embraced me at the door as she left.
This encounter, which she now falsely claims was an assault, was the beginning of our affair. It was the first of many sexual encounters between us over the next several months. After we returned to New York, we both communicated by text and by phone. We met for drinks, and she met me at my apartment on multiple occasions to continue our affair. Our meetings were arranged mutually. At no time, during or after her multiple visits to my apartment, did she express in words or actions any discomfort with being there, or with our affair.
She also went out of her way to see me several times in my dressing room at work, and on one of those occasions we had a sexual encounter. It showed terrible judgment on my part, but it was completely mutual and consensual.
Brooke now says that she was terrified about the control I had over her career and felt pressure to agree to our encounters after Sochi. But at no time during our relationship did Brooke work for me, the Today Show, or NBC News. She worked for Meredith Vieira (who had not worked for the Today Show in several years) in a completely different part of the network, and I had no role in reviewing Brooke's work.
I admit, I ended the affair poorly. I simply stopped communicating with her. Brooke continued to reach out. She admitted to NBC at the time she filed her complaint that she called me late at night while I was home with my family in an effort to rekindle the affair. But I attempted to go back to my life and pretend as if nothing had happened. I understand how that must have made her feel. However, being upset or having second thoughts does not give anyone the right to make false accusations years later about an affair in which they fully and willingly participated.
Between February 2014 and November 2017, Brooke and I saw each other more than a dozen times at professional gatherings, both large and small. Despite the fact that our affair was over, she always went out of her way to greet me warmly and engage in conversation. It was not until I was called in to speak to an NBC attorney on November 28, 2017 that I first learned Brooke had any complaint. I answered all questions openly and honestly for more than an hour. At that meeting I was never told that Brooke claimed our encounter in Sochi was non-consensual. Had I been, I would have defended myself immediately.
After Brooke filed her complaint in late 2017, her attorney publicly insisted she wanted to remain anonymous. He said she just wanted NBC to "do the right thing." But within a year she was reportedly out trying to sell a book. And it appears that she also sought a monetary payment from NBC. Now she is making outrageous and false accusations to help sell a different book and stepping into the spotlight to cause as much damage as she can.
But Brooke's story is filled with contradictions. Which Brooke is to be believed?
• She claims our first encounter was an assault, yet she actively participated in arranging future meetings and met me at my apartment on multiple occasions to continue the affair.
• She says I was the one pursuing the relationship, yet once it was over, she was the one calling me asking to rekindle it.
• She says she felt pressure to continue the affair because I had control over her career, but she did not work for me, the Today Show, or NBC News.
• She said she wanted to remain anonymous, yet she was reportedly trying to sell a book within year after filing her complaint.
• She said she just wanted NBC to "do the right thing," yet she sought a monetary payment, and two years after I was fired, she is stepping forward to do more damage.
There are people who fully understand the actual dynamic that existed between Brooke and me. They have reluctantly and quietly reached out in the past two years and shared what they know. They have accurately described Brooke and her role in this affair. I hope those people will understand that these allegations cross a serious line, and what they can share is a vital truth, even if it may seem unpopular.
Because of my infidelity, I have brought more pain and embarrassment to my family than most people can ever begin to understand. They've been through hell. I have asked for their forgiveness, taken responsibility for what I did do wrong, and accepted the consequences. But by not speaking out I also emboldened those who continue to do me harm with false stories.
One such story I should have confronted a long time ago is an example of why I believe my silence was a mistake. Despite numerous erroneous reports in the past, there was not a button in my office that could lock the door from the inside. There was no such locking mechanism. It didn't exist. NBC confirmed this fact publicly following my termination.
It would have been impossible to confine anyone in my office, for any purpose, and I have never attempted to make anyone feel as if they were confined in my office. I have never assaulted anyone or forced anyone to have sex. Period.
Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a very private person. I had no desire to write this, but I had no choice. The details I have written about here open deep wounds for my family. But they also lead to the truth. For two years, the women with whom I had extramarital relationships have abandoned shared responsibility, and instead, shielded themselves from blame behind false allegations. They have avoided having to look a boyfriend, husband, or a child in the eye and say, "I cheated." They have done enormous damage in the process. And I will no longer provide them the shelter of my silence.
Matt Lauer
UPDATE: Former Today co-anchor Ann Curry reacts to the news.
Brooke Nevils is a credible young woman of good character. She came to NBC News an eager and guileless 20-something, brimming with talent.
I believe she is telling the truth. And that breaks my heart. https://t.co/k4LT3MEh5Q

This exact fact reminds me of why I love written resolutions, goals and thoughts. A plan works for me. So let me know how you are starting on your New Year.
Also, I am working on a fun Guest Post next Thursday the 8th so see ya soon for some fun.
Until then, I am enjoying my mommy-life as I knew it prior to mommyblogging. You know, lots of playing, reading, floor-time which now days is wrestling or tickle-time. We're baking, hiking. Is anyone else savoring the last of their Holidays. We are and it feels great.
It's so much more enjoyable to juggle when I have less plates to spin. Minus my .mac, email, blog, etc. Life just got a lot simpler. That's how I want to start this New Year.
Love this new verse I found this morning, it was a Psalm verse 93 - however, my Bible is elsewhere am I am heretofor so basically it stated that I love His precepts because He hath made them known to me. I will trust in them. L.o.v.e it! See y'all soon.

Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day, a day dedicated to busting taboos and myths around periods. Fifty percent of the population gets a period, and yet people are still uncomfortable talking about it. There are lots of great non-fiction books for kids that cover puberty, but what about fiction? Most girls get their periods between 10-15… Continue reading Why Do So Few Characters Get Their Periods in Middle Grade Fiction?

Snow Queen Revisited: Breadcrumbs Review
The Snow Queen is one of my favourite fairytales. It is the one I would love to rework, if reworking fairytales was one of my writerly strengths (it's not).

Today's recipe is for cinnamon roll whoopie pies filled with an easy cinnamon cream cheese buttercream frosting!
There is midwest gas station that I go to that has a great bakery. They make cinnamon rolls that have the most delicious cinnamon frosting on them. That frosting inspired me to try making my own version.
Since I wanted to make cinnamon roll whoopie pies, I wanted my frosting to be more sturdy. Plus, I've had a lifelong obsession with buttercream so that had to be included and since cream cheese is the cinnamon roll frosting of choice that is in there too!
When I was a kid, the Target stores in our area sold baked goods from McGlynn Bakery. From what I remember, there was a small bakery counter at the front of the store where you could buy treats on your way out and they had huge frosted sugar cookies. You know, the kind with big piles of buttercream frosting in cute little shapes! I think they sold them for $1.00 a piece. I would save my money so that when I had the opportunity to go to Target with my mom, I could buy myself a frosted cookie! Yum!
These cinnamon roll whoopie pies start with Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls which makes things so much easier! I didn't follow the instructions on the package about putting the rolls in a cake pan. Instead, I put them on a cookie sheet and baked them at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
While the cinnamon rolls are baking, I made the frosting. This frosting is like a heavy buttercream frosting with cream cheese added in. If you have been looking for a frosting that is heavy on the cream cheese, you've come to the wrong place. Start by whipping the butter then slowly adding in the powdered sugar. Once those two things are combined, add the cream cheese in four sections.
Finally, mix in vanilla and cinnamon. This recipe made way more frosting than I needed for these 5 cinnamon rolls so only make half of the recipe if you don't want leftovers. I asked Google if I could freeze buttercream frosting and found out that yes I can but it will need to be re-whipped after it thaws, so my leftover frosting is in the freezer.
Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool and then cut them in half.
Pipe on the cinnamon cream cheese buttercream frosting.
Add the top of the cinnamon roll.
Drizzle the cinnamon roll whoopie pies with the frosting that came in the can with the cinnamon rolls.
Here are a few more cinnamon recipes:
Crescent Roll Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls are so easy to make and are perfect for fall. This small batch of cinnamon rolls is drizzled with caramel and icing.
These Peanut Butter and Jelly Cinnamon Rolls are so easy to make with crescent roll dough. Have the classic lunch time favorite for breakfast or snack!
These Bloomin' Cinnamon Rolls are full of ooey, gooey caramel goodness. Make this blooming cinnamon roll monkey bread like recipe for breakfast or dessert.

On Friday, 24th April 2020, the Make It Right Movement (MIRM) hosted an engaging session on Personal Branding which saw over 50 students and staff attend.
Mr. Brian Lariche, MIRM's Head of Community Development and speaker for the session, highlighted the importance of personal branding – "First impressions are only made once, and bad ones are difficult to rectify".
In today's competitive world, personality plays a vital role in securing employment, and not merely the best paper qualifications. "Personal branding makes you distinct from others and helps you create a bigger influence with a global reach", he added.
Mr. Brian encouraged students to reflect on five critical questions: "(1) What do I want to achieve; (2) How do I want to be perceived; (3) Understand yourself and be authentic; (4) Develop your knowledge constantly and (5) Google yourself to determine the information available to others".
As perception, passion and purpose are key elements that shape a distinct identity/brand, participants were given worthy tips on creating a good first impression, in particular wardrobe management, body language and voice control.
As for voice control, he said, "your voice should be moderate, not too soft or too fast. Vocal fillers such as, 'uh', 'errr', 'you know', and 'umm' should be avoided as it gives the impression that you are searching for the right words to say and can be distracting".
"Good body language/behaviour means having a good posture (don't slouch), be an attentive to the speaker and a good listener", he stressed.
Another important aspect of body language is emotional intelligence – "self-awareness, empathy, and self-motivation makes a lasting impression".
In response to a question from the viewers, Mr. Brian reminded participants to "avoid being overwhelmed just for the sake of trying new things or exploring new skills, and find a good support system".

If you're trying to dig your way out of a financial mess, you might have come across credit counseling in your research. Trying to improve your financial struggle might be possible through credit counseling, but for some, bankruptcy is the best solution for your issues. Credit counseling is a possible alternative to meet your financial obligations, but if you're buried too deep, credit counseling might not help you out.
In some cases, credit counseling can actually make your situation worse. [Read more…]

Many MBAs choose to follow a marketing track because of its intriguing combination of creativity and analytics. Today's marketers must be knowledgeable about working in traditional spaces like print, radio, television, and outdoors, as well as all the online channels available to consumers.
Social media offers an exceptional outlet for marketing creativity, with the potential for lower-cost executions and much higher profile returns.
Depending on the type of business you represent, you'll want to be on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, or Snapchat. The more whimsical your brand, the more leeway you have to share your story in fun, engaging ways.
Effective Social Media Campaigns
Several major brands have made an impact on social campaigns that brought people together — virtually and in-person — to celebrate life in unique ways.
• Starbucks
Starbucks's "Tweet-a-Coffee" campaign allowed its account holders to gift their friends a $5 Starbucks gift card via Twitter. The program leveraged the Starbucks mobile app among its customers and encouraged gift recipients to "tweet" the $5 gift card to their friends. With this innovative campaign, the coffee giant moved e-gifting to a new level of convenience and ease while also increasing its database of Twitter contacts.
• Make-A-Wish Foundation
When a little boy in San Francisco wanted to be Batman for a day, the Make-A-Wish Foundation took to social media to make his wish come true. Using the hashtag #SFBatKid, the foundation created a viral campaign that gathered thousands to see this small superhero in action. Even the mayor of San Francisco played a role, shutting the city down for part of the day so that the young Batman could foil his archenemy the Riddler from his evil plans. The traction gained by this kind of social event is immeasurable.
• Dove
Dove, the company behind Dove soap and beauty supplies, created the "Real Beauty" video campaign in which women were drawn by an FBI sketch artist. One sketch was drawn based on each woman's self-description, while a second was created based on a third-party's description of the woman. The contrast between the two sketches was stunning to women in the experiment. Where they only saw their flaws, others saw their beauty. Dove's campaign went viral, and as of January 2020, the video has been viewed more than 68.5 million times on their YouTube channel.
Social Media Marketing Trends for 2020 and Beyond
New ideas emerge every day in our always-on society. Those that have taken hold are creating new opportunities for business leaders who strive to stay at the forefront. Here's a sampling of what industry experts expect to be trending in 2020 and beyond.
Influencer Marketing
The early days of influencer marketing campaigns were dominated by celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Today, micro influencers, or influencers who have between 2,000 and 50,000 followers, are being more widely used to promote products or services. Micro influencers tend to have a strong following in a particular niche, such as life hacks for moms or style and beauty tips. Since their followers view them as informed experts in their specialized areas, micro influencers are seen as credible and authentic. Digital marketing agency Scrunch reports that micro influencers may charge as little as $50 per post, which can help small businesses to see a strong return on investment.
Niche Specialization
Business competition is more aggressive than ever before as companies vie for a shrinking pool of customer dollars, and targeted influencer marketing campaigns can be used to help businesses to highlight their niche. Top-performing organizations are proving to be those that fill a niche versus "generalists" that try to be all things to all people. It's a positive trend for customers and employees. Customers trust that they're getting valuable expertise from a specialist, while employees can find greater satisfaction in focusing on what they do best.
The Power of Client Testimonials

Customers trust that they're getting valuable expertise from a specialist, while employees can find greater satisfaction in focusing on what they do best.
User-Generated Content (UGC)
Social media isn't going away anytime soon. In fact, the trend is toward more information sharing and an increase in user-generated content. For example, we can expect to see a greater number of companies engaging their customers to upload photos and share comments that can be used for marketing purposes. Not only is user-generated content free; it's timely and relevant to the consumer audience.
Harness the Power of Strategic Sales and Marketing
Ohio University's online Master of Business Administration (MBA) program includes a concentration in strategic selling and sales leadership. Courses focus on building customer relationships, quantitative skills necessary for sales professionals, and sales leadership.
Other program concentrations include accounting, business analytics, executive management, finance, health care, operations and supply chain management, and business venturing and entrepreneurship.

Walmart is set to dramatically cut iPhone prices starting Saturday, according to Mashable, which points to an impending iPhone hardware refresh in the coming months. Walmart will reportedly slash the already low iPhone 5 cost from $189 to $129 and the iPhone 4S will go from $89 to $39 on contract with AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon (Uncarrier T-Mobile, which Walmart doesn't support, is not included in the deal).
Walmart isn't the only retailer jumping on the discounted iPhone wagon. Best Buy will reportedly offer substantial discounts to iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 customers offering in-store credit or credit toward the purchase of a new iPhone. Such promotions tend to hint at upcoming hardware refreshes as retailers look to move out existing inventory.
Earlier this week, leaked parts revealed the possibility of a larger battery and dual flash on the next generation iPhone, but more specific details were sparse. As we previously mentioned, the next iPhone could feature a fingerprint scanner and be joined by the long-rumored budget iPhone.
We expect new hardware to launch when iOS 7 debuts publicly later this fall.

The F-22 Raptor is "the most capable multirole combat aircraft in production today," according to the think tank Air Power Australia. Yet only 203 have been ordered out of the original Air Force request for almost four times that many, and within weeks President Obama must decide whether to order more or let the assembly line close.
The Boeing and Lockheed Martin F-22, which entered service three years ago, blends key technologies that formerly existed only separately on other aircraft – or not at all. Its stealthiness will make trigger-happy combatants shoot at birds. It has agility, air-to-air combat abilities and missile defense penetrability far beyond that of the F-15 Eagle which entered service 33 years ago. It cruises at Mach-plus speeds without using fuel-guzzling afterburners.
During Exercise Northern Edge 2006 the F-22 "fought" as many as 40 "enemy aircraft" during simulated battles, including F-15s, F-16 Fighting Falcons, and F/A-18-F Super Hornets. It achieved an incredible 108-to-zero kill ratio.
So how could this program be in danger of crashing and burning? Mainly it's the old (and true) cliché that strategists plan to fight the next war based on the last (or current) one. Where once we planned for massive set-piece battles, now it seems many can't see beyond guerrilla warfare with lightly armed insurgents. Conventional war weapons programs are being eliminated or slashed.
Originally the Air Force requested up to 762, but the Pentagon's 1990 Major Aircraft Review reduced that to 648. This was subsequently cut to 442, then 339, then to 277, before the current 203, of which 134 have been built.
Yet bizarrely, this very decline in order size is being used to shoot the Raptor down.
Technology development costs are fixed. Each time critics slashed the F-22 order, they then cited the "stunning increase" in per-unit cost to slash away again. This game has played out with one weapons system after another, helping explain why an initial plan for acquiring 132 B-2 Spirit bombers ended with a pitiful purchase of 21 of those incredible aircraft. At the current tiny order size, F-22s are $339 million each. But with R&D paid for the current cost for each additional F-22 is only about $136 million, according to the Air Force.
If necessary, the Air Force says it will try to fill the F-22 shortage by keeping F-15s flying to 2025. It won't work. Even eight years ago, "some foreign aircraft we've been able to test, our best pilots flying their airplanes [from other countries] beat our pilots flying our airplanes every time," then-Air Force Commander John Jumper told Congress.
Two years earlier, the independent Federation of American Scientists (FAS) noted that the Russian Sukhoi Flanker Su-27, which entered service eight years after the Eagle, "leveled the playing field" with the F-15. Su-27's, both Russian-built and Chinese pirated copies, are now in arsenals around the world.
Nor are enemy fighters our only worry. Russian surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) have improved dramatically in recent years. The country's S-300 system is "one of the most lethal, if not the most lethal, all-altitude area defense," noted the International Strategy and Assessment Service, "a Virginia-based think tank focused on U.S. and Allied security issues." three years ago. China also has the S-300 and the Russians announced in December they'll soon sell units to Iran.
The sale not only would threaten stand-off warning and control systems like AWACS but also tremendously boost defense of Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor and Natanz uranium-enrichment site.
The newer S-400 system, already deployed, is far better able to detect low-signature targets and aircraft generally, as far away as 250 miles away, according to the FAS. That's twice that of the S-300. When mated with the Triumf SA-20/21 missile, which Russia claims it tested in December, it can even knock down ballistic missiles.
"Only the F-22 can survive in airspace defended by increasingly capable surface-to-air missiles," declared Air Force Association President Mike Dunn in December.
Some have demanded trading off F-22s for more of the cheaper F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), although it's vastly inferior in both air-to-air combat and ground defense penetration. Further, much of that lower price reflects the economy of scale of the vastly larger order F-35 orders, even as increased development costs have tremendously upped the Lightning II price tag.
The current Air Force budget estimate says the "flyaway unit cost" of its F-35 version will be strikingly higher than that of the F-22 during the first four years of production. Only then will assembly line expansion drop the F-35 sticker to $91 billion by FY 2013.
The Russia bear has awakened from hibernation to rebuild its lost empire. China continues its inexorable military expansion. Iran desperately wants The Bomb, while North Korea revels in unpredictability. Yes, Virginia, we really do have potential enemies with weapons other than AKs and IEDs. We desperately need far more F-22 Raptors — preferably to prevent wars but if need be to win them.

How are you all?
Today was lovely here in Perth. I went for a walk and saw the most beautiful flowers on the side of the road. It's just Spring here and all the flowers are lovely and coming out in full force.
Don't you just love the colours?
So seeing as the sun is out I thought I would share a sun related idea.
Sustainable September Day Fifteen: Dry your washing outside in the sun instead of in the dryer.
I know that there are days when washing just does not dry. I used to live in England and I remember that there were times when it took days for one load to dry. And getting clothes outside was silly because they would freeze over night.
It makes a huge difference to the environment and your power usage to not use a dryer. Especially when you use the power and heat of the sun to dry your clothes!
Here we have to dry our clothes on a sunny day on the deck because the birds are multiplying around here and so there are so many in the trees above where we have our hills hoist (or outside washing line). And if the clothes are not under cover they end up covered in bird poo. Hahha. Such is the nature of breeding season.
Kindness idea: volunteer at a local bird sanctuary or reserve.
Originally when I was planning tomorrow's idea it wasn't going to be about birds but I kind of fell in love with the idea because birds are so amazing and diverse and are a great indicator of our environment.
When I was homeschooling as a 14 year old I volunteered at the Fauna Rehabilitation Foundation in Perth, Western Australia. It helps sick and injured birds and animals heal with the intention or releasing them back into the wild.
I worked as a volunteer for them one day a week for over two years. I loved it. I learned how to care for and feed all kinds of Australian animals and birds.
I particularly fell in love with caring for the ducks. I had four ducklings in my care until they could be put into a larger enclosure with more of their kind. My job was to clean out their cage and bath them. Yes. That's right I got to put four little ducklings in a bath to teach them how to swim. They weren't all the same type of duck either. There were three pacific ducks and one woodland duck. I got the privilege of naming them too. Huey, Louie, Duey and Bob. You can figure out which was Bob! 😉
What I really got to understand was how these services help the environment and those creatures living in it. And I still treasure my time spent learning how to care for these amazing and precious animals and birds.
Front line: so this is a gorgeous story about kindness and about looking after birds. It is also about preserving the environment for future generations of humans and wildlife. This is a story from America and it melts my heart.
I hope you enjoyed today's kindness idea.
Sending love to you all.
Love Daena X

Colgate Works to Fortify Competitive Edge
The wide-moat firm's leading brands and entrenched relationships should ensure it boasts economic profits for the next 20 years.
The wide-moat firm's leading brands and entrenched relationships should ensure it boasts economic profits for the next 20 years.
Erin Lash: We think investors wanting exposure to the household and personal care realm should look to wide-moat Colgate, which trades at a 15% discount to our $70 fair value estimate and 18 times our fiscal 2019 earnings forecast. Despite concerns surrounding the competitive landscape and its lagging top-line performance, we posit that Colgate is proactively taking steps to ensure its competitive edge proves unwavering.
For one, management is opting to extract more than $500 million in costs from its operations by the end of 2019, which we view as attainable. The firm's efforts to cull costs are already yielding pronounced savings, but we see little to suggest Colgate will artificially boost profits by pulling back brand spend. Rather, we surmise it will direct around 12% of sales (or about $2 billion annually) to research, development, and marketing, in line with its repeated references to the importance of bringing consumer-valued innovation to market (even that which comes with a higher price tag) as a means to ensure the brand equity in the business, as well as its entrenched retail relationships, aren't tainted. From our vantage point, it is these factors that have enabled Colgate's global toothpaste market share to hold around the mid-40s for the better part of the last decade, and we don't expect its share position will be permanently eroded.
Management has also suggested it intends to raise prices to offset these higher costs, a prudent decision from where we sit, as it shows an unwillingness to chase short-term volumes and share to protect its brand-intangible asset long term. Overall, we maintain that Colgate is focused on growing the business for the long term and that the combination of its leading brands and entrenched relationships with retailers and professionals (including dentists, veterinarians, and dermatologists) should ensure it boasts economic profits for the next 20 years.

Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni, has won a case in which a Twitter follower had sued him for blocking him on his private twitter handle.
The high court in Kampala ruled that the President was right to block Mr Hillary Innocent Taylor Seguya, a Ugandan who lives abroad, on twitter.
Mr Seguya had sued Museveni, Ofwono Opondo- The executive director of the Uganda Media Centre and Assistant Inspector General of Police, Alan Kasingye, for blocking him from following them on their respective twitter handles.
Justice Andrew Bashaija in his ruling, said that Museveni uses his private handle @kagutamuseveni and is free to decide who can follow him and who he can block.
"Being private twitter handles, therefore, the respective persons (President Museveni, Mr Ofwono and AIGP Kasingye), have the latitude to choose whom to allow or block in those handles," Justice Bashaija ruled.
"Equally, there is nothing illegal or which precludes a public official from using his private Twitter handle to communicate or comment on a private matter or an issue of public concern. That would not in itself transform a private Twitter handle into public," the judge said, in his ruling.
Mr Seguya claimed that the officials use their private twitter handles to disseminate information regarding their public office activities and collect feedback from citizens.
He argued that by blocking him, they were cutting the link which he relied on to get official communication for activities from his country of origin.
"The President is a public officer and a holder of a Twitter social media platform handle @KagutaMuseveni and there is no other official handle for his office. He opened the Twitter handle when he was holding the office of the President and he has since been using it in his official and not in private capacity," Mr Seguya stated in his law suit.
He accused President Museveni of blocking him on July 30th 2019, Mr. Ofwono on August 8th 2019 and AIGP Kasigye on July 20th 2019.
While determining his case, the judge dismissed the likening of the US case in which the Court of Appeal ruled that President Donald Trump had violated the rights of some concerned citizens by blocking their responses on his twitter handle.
President Trump's accusers had argued that the Twitter handle he was using was registered when he became the US president and he uses it for official communication and hence, they had the right to follow him.
Justice Bashaija held that the US case was not relevant to the Ugandan case since Uganda does not follow the US law, but follows the common law of its colonial masters, the Great Britain.
He also ruled that while the individuals were public officials, they were not public bodies hence the twitter handles they own, are on personal capacity
Mr Seguya was ordered to meet the legal costs the Attorney general, listed as the correspondent, used to successfully defend the suit on behalf of President Museveni and the other two public officials.

Scheduled to open in 2023, as reported by Blooloop, Legoland Shanghai will be one of the biggest Legoland Resorts in the world, and will feature a 250-room themed hotel. Construction and development of the project will cost £500 million ($642,870,000 USD).
"I'm delighted that we are able to realize the development of a Legoland Resort in Shanghai; one of the most vibrant cities in the world," said Nick Varney, chief executive of Merlin Entertainments. "A gateway city with modern consumers, Shanghai is already the home for many Merlin brands, and it has been our ambition for some time to build a full-scale theme park that offers the people of Shanghai and visitors to the area the opportunity to immerse themselves in a unique Legoland experience."
"The Lego brand has increased its presence, revenue and contribution in China during the past decade to create a positive impact on the development of the Chinese society with learning through play experiences," said Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, executive chairman for Lego Brand Group. "We are excited about the opportunity to bring Legoland to Shanghai Jinshan. It will give Chinese families even more opportunities to experience the benefits of Lego play and have fun together."
Other Legoland theme park resorts currently in development include Legoland New York, which is set to open in 2020, and Legoland Korea, which is scheduled to open in 2022.

Nope, not pregnant. Thanks for asking, though, it's really helping my diet. (Did you hear that rumour going around a couple of months ago that I was pregnant? Yeah, that was really funny. I think I should make a whole blog post about all the blasts to my ego lately. When put all together they're funny — or it is that individually they're funny and collectively they're sad? I digress.)
It's been a year since I started teaching piano again. My students have been progressing well, and with a lot of preparation we finally had our first recital! Every single thing about the day was perfect.
The day before Mother's Day we all assembled at the gracious home of one of my students. The temperature was perfect, the sky was sunny but it wasn't too hot. The children came very prepared and almost all of them played their memorized pieces perfectly! They were also great audience members for each other.
Then of course we had food for the reception afterwards. I ordered some of my favourites from Have It Sweet and some of the other families brought a plate of something to share. We had an amazing assortment of delicious foods. Everyone was happy and well fed.
They presented me with flowers. I was so touched. I really thought all the students deserved the flowers so much more than I. The day was all about them. (But how could I refuse? To do so would have been rude. Besides, they were gorgeous.)
I was on a big high from the success of my students that I practically floated up the hill for a pre-Mother's day barbeque at my brother in law's home. I just can't believe that this is my job — I have the best job in the whole wide world!

Eva Longoria got married this weekend (!!!) & the wedding pics are super-cute
Wedding bells are ringing! This weekend, Eva Longoria tied the knot with her love Antonio Baston at an intimate ceremony in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. The bride wore a gorgeous gown designed by her pal Victoria Beckham.
"They married on an altar under lots of little lights," a source told PEOPLE. "It was very romantic. Eva wore her hair down and smiled during the whole ceremony. He was in a gray suit."
It was a small ceremony, but the couple was in the company of good friends like Mario Lopez. Their celeb friends posted lots of pics under the hashtag #EvaAndPepe (Pepe is her new hubby's nickname!).
Victoria Beckman looked extremely chic, of course. (We're also loving the hashtag #OmgMyFeetHurt!)
Mario also posted pics with Victoria Beckham, his wife Courtney Lopez, and celebrity stylist Robert Verdi.
And let's not forget these pics of David Beckham and Ricky Martin enjoying their tequila.
Eva posted a series of photos from the weekend, including this one showing off her new married name, Eva Longoria Baston, and the couples' rings!
After she tied the knot, Eva relaxed in style with Posh Spice herself and rest her tired feet! We are extremely impressed Eva got her to wear Uggs!
Here's a gorgeous snap capturing their first steps as husband and wife.
So far, Eva and Antonio's marriage includes lots of love and comfortable footwear. We approve!
Congratulations to the happy couple! Keep those honeymoon pics coming.

From the minor-league system:
-- Look for outfielder Julio Pablo Martinez, the Cuban free-agent addition, to be promoted from the Dominican Summer League soon. In six games, Martinez is hitting .474 with a 1.445 OPS in 27 plate appearances. His next stop likely is Spokane in the short-season Class A Northwest League, which opens on Friday.
-- Right-hander Ronald Herrera is headed toward season-ending surgery to repair a flexor tendon in the right elbow.
Herrera has not appeared in a game this season. He did not pitch in spring training because of shoulder weakness. The elbow problem arose during his rehabilitation work.
The Rangers envisioned Herrera as rotation depth when they acquired from the New York Yankees in November.

Slowing down for Racing the Cadillac CTS-V?
For some series and manufacturers, the race car has to be carefully tuned up to be competitive. For WCRacing, Cadillac restricts the CTS-V engine output from the 556 hp that the street car makes to 460 hp for the race car. Yes, when racing the Cadillac CTS-V Cadillac gives up almost 100 hp.
The racing engines are prepared by Katech. They use the same 6.2L OHV V8 as the street car, but don't have the supercharger. As prepared they would make 520 hp, but are restricted to 460 hp for the series.
A big difference from the street car to make up for the power loss is weight. The race car hits the track at 3,200 lbs plus rewards weight. The street car weighs 4,222 lbs. In the World Challenge, winning drivers get rewards weight to add to their car for the next race. This helps balance the series even further during the season. You can see the rewards weight each driver is carrying by numbers on the windscreen.
The complete vehicle specification for the racing the Cadillac CTS-V can be found on the World Challenge site here.
Racing the Cadillac CTS-V
Cadillac is not afraid to throw down the gauntlet and put their cars on the track. Racing the Cadillac CTS-V even with the series restrictions can give a very good test ground for engineering improvements in the street cars. Racing the Cadillac CTS-V is also very entertaining.
Bravo Cadillac!

By Keat Foong, Executive EditorEstablishing a community identity is one of the critical elements of a successful project, and it can be accomplished through design. Not only does a well articulated and attractive identity differentiate a development from its competitors, but it also makes it more warm and inviting to prospects and therefore delivers clear marketing benefits."Always try to create an identity from the time the prospects approach the project all the way to the time they enter their homes," advises Ken Tobin, principal in the Celebration, Fla.-based Kenneth L. Tobin Architects, which is part of a collaboration with BCArchitects, Coral Gardens and Celebration, Fla. "Think about what are you saying, what are you telling the public." One of the most fashionable community identity today is that of an urban development and that means a residential property that also contain retail and possibly offices and and walkable streets. "Creating a development with multiple uses is a great way to develop an identity through architecture and design," says David Obitz, principal of KTGY Group, Irvine, Calif. Such environments provide a certain amount of energy given the presence of pedestrians and continuous levels of activities, he suggests. Also do not shy away from being a pioneer in a neighborhood in terms of creating a new identity that breaks with the past, opines Marvin Melter, principal of the New York-based Meltzer/Mandl Architect, PC. Meltzer gives the example of one of his firm's projects, 57 Bond Street, in New York City. At first, the client wanted the project to be contextual with the historic warehouses that were located in the area north of Soho. But Meltzer suggested starting a new vocabulary since the building's use—a new ground-up residence construction—was different, and the project was designed as a modern glass building. All the residential new construction in that area has since followed the same contemporary design scheme. "I like to feel I was instrumental in establishing a new identity for that part of town," says Meltzer. In creating a high-energy urban identity, Obitz recommends that "the sidewalk needs to be highly amenitized," not only with retail, but also architectural elements such as enriched façade, landscaping, canopies, signage, light fixtures, that "that draws and attracts you and makes you want to stay there for a while." According to Tobin, of Kenneth L. Tobin Architects, in creating an identity, the development should "establish a point of view that the prospect has arrived at some place and it is different." In such respect, the developer can pay attention to the treatment common amenities. One of the trends in recent years is to create a path to a common amenity so as to create a sense of destination and to prioritize natural amenities such as wetlands or natural lakes. So for example instead of "going through a gatehouse and smack into the clubhouse," the clubhouse will be pushed to the other side of a lake. Prospects will then have to travel around that lake to get to the clubhouse. And instead of residences backing up into a golf course, the golf course will be at the front of the homes, not their backyards. Also, instead of centralizing amenities such as clubhouses, they can be decentralized, such that there are various amenities—basketball courts, barbecue pits—scattered about the development.And in creating a common identity, common threads can be established by unifying the street light fixtures, paving patterns, public furniture, and architectural elements "so that you know regardless of where you are in the community, you are still in the community," says Tobin. "Establishing a community identity is important from a marketing perspective. If you have a sense of community, you feel like you are a part of the community and a sense of pride. A community is like a neighborhood where people know each other. You can set it up such that residents can take advantage of the community."

Greendale School Board candidates want more good teachers, student mental health resources and transparency
Four candidates are vying for a seat on the Greendale School Board, but only two will earn a spot on the board in April 2 general election.
The candidates are Lorin Schuchardt, Mary Grogan, Thor Misko and Noelle Joers-Yanisch.
To help voters learn more about the candidates, Now News Group email questionnaires to the candidates. Here are their responses, which were limited to 75 words.
What previous experience makes you most qualified to serve as a school board member?
Misko: Here are a few of my qualifications.
- Husband and father of three children
- Greendale Schools Community Partnership Team Leader
- Greendale Park and Recreation Committee Member
- Greendale School District Strategic Planning Committee Member
- MSOE Corporation Board Member & Alumnus
- Entrepreneurial Engineering Program Director, Kern Family Foundation
- Former Executive with PLTW—the nation's largest K-12 STEM education program
- Architectural Engineer, Business Owner
Joers-Yanisch: Service through volunteer and work experiences has prepared me for School Board leadership. During the last 10 years I've been a member of the District Budget Committee, was on the latest referendum committee, a member of two strategic planning committees, and am a former PTO President at College Park. I also was on various committees for the Village and am now the Greendale Lions President.
Grogan: I am the only Greendale School Board Candidate with previous public school board experience. I sat on a School Board in Sauk County during Walker's recall election. I served one term from 2012-2015. I gave up my seat to move home to Greendale. In addition to that, my career as an Educator spans 30 years; from MPS to Bayside to Suburban Twin Cities, to Waukesha.
Schuchardt: I have more than 20 years as a practicing attorney and small business owner. As an attorney I am skilled at resolving conflict, listening, finding creative solutions to problems, negotiating, and making sound decisions based on facts. As a small business owner I have experience budgeting, making personnel decisions and resolving day to day problems.
RELATED:Greendale School Board candidates weigh in on the most pressing issue facing the district
What would your top priority be on the board, and how would you work toward achieving it?
Misko: The most pressing issue facing our great district is complacency. A good school board member must be passionate and committed to continuously improving our schools, while remaining engaged and fiscally responsible to all Greendale residents. This is why I am focused on the ABC's: access and opportunities for students, better support and systems for staff, and cost-conscious decisions for residents.
Joers-Yanisch: My top priority is recruiting and retaining staff that best connect with our students. We are a destination school district because of the dedication of our faculty. Teacher mobility is far greater than it used to be, so creating a desirable compensation package within our budget, and positive work environment, is more important than ever. Staff survey data would help us construct an attractive contract.
Grogan: My top priority as a Greendale School Board member is to responsibly and conservatively spend the $33.8 million dollar referendum money. With the changing of the guard in Madison and the changing of the guard at the board table, transparency will be another top priority.
Schuchardt: I would prioritize keeping our children safe from violence, bullying, drugs and providing resources to address possible mental health concerns for our students. This would involve training for our staff so they are better able to identify potential problems and to have procedures in place to address them. Our students also need to be made aware of these issues and have a way to share their concerns.
Would you like to see new approaches taken or is the board on the right track? If so, why?
Misko: My career allowed me to visit hundreds of schools across the country. Greendale has a historically strong and committed school board, leadership, and staff. Through my experience, I know the importance school leadership plays to improve the quality of education for its community. I look forward to building on our great relationships and investing in efforts to ensure Greendale Schools continue to exceed expectations.
Joers-Yanisch: I believe the board is on the right track. They are following the Strategic Plan, which were goals set forth by the community, that ensure every student has a well rounded experience at Greendale schools. A referendum was also put forth to make needed improvements to all schools. This helps improve learning environments and creates new opportunities that help our students succeed.
Grogan: The Greendale School Board is in transition. At this fork, experience and history matter. I am the only candidate with both. I wish all my fellow Candidates good luck! Thank you for this opportunity.
Schuchardt: Greendale schools ranked in the top five percent on the state report card so I believe we are on the right track academically. We also work collaboratively with other groups in our community to provide extracurricular activities for our children. We need to continue to update and establish goals for the future of Greendale Schools including addressing diversity issues and implementing procedures and policies to address bullying.
