The 2017 Blackbaud Luminate Online Benchmark Report was full of new online fundraising and marketing trends. Now, we've shaped all that data into a short (but mighty) webinar series, where we'll detail the critical findings and, most importantly, share tips for capitalizing on the positive trends and avoiding newly discovered pitfalls in the year ahead.
How's your nonprofit email program performing? Do you find you need to send more emails to get the same results as you did in the past? Many industry experts say it's important to refine your campaigns to send fewer, more targeted emails; yet, the truth is, you're not sure if it's worth the time. In this webinar, you'll hear how experts from leading national nonprofits answered this question for themselves. Join Janine Stines of Feeding America and Edwin Brownell of The Nature Conservancy as they discuss how they got better results by refining their email sending practices and by carrying out smart analysis of email addresses to retain on their lists.
Digital streaming services like Netflix® and Spotify® have captured huge market share by catering to a growing interest in "subscribing" to content rather than owning it. In many ways, this "subscription" model works very well for nonprofits. Monthly recurring giving grew by over 20% in 2017 according to recent Blackbaud research, showing that people today want to commit to support organizations that matter to them over time, rather than just as a one-time thing.
There is an art to growing a strong base of recurring revenue; join us to hear from WUNC, a public broadcasting station with tens of thousands of sustainers on their list. Public broadcasting stations caught on early to the value of promoting "membership" programs; this webinar will focus on techniques and approaches that all nonprofits might learn from WUNC for managing and expanding relationships with sustaining donors.
Your nonprofit benefits when your supporters feel connected to your mission, your values, and your work. Consistent messaging and a multichannel communications strategy is the key to connecting with supporters and making your fundraising and advocacy appeals more productive. Are you ready with a unified message that you can execute across all your platforms—direct mail, email, social, earned and paid media, and more? Join Blackbaud and communications specialist Bryan Rutberg for a fast-paced, informative, and actionable 60-minute session that will help you assess your organization's effectiveness in a multichannel world, and set you on the path to developing a messaging framework your entire organization can use to build relationships and drive engagement and giving.
As principal of 3C Communications, Bryan and his team work with Fortune 100 executives, nonprofit leaders, startup founders, and career-climbers to help them find their voice, craft their message, and drive their key audiences to action in person, in print, and online.
Is it Time to Take On Social Influence Marketing?
We hear more about social influence marketing in the industry press every day. But can this really help with your fundraising campaigns? The answer, according to industry expert Justin Ware, founder and CEO of Groundwork Digital, is a resounding yes. Part showcase, part how-to, this webinar will take you through the essential steps for building a successful social ambassador program, from identifying key social influencers to executing campaigns with your social stars. The "showcase" of social influence campaigns will share ways organizations of all sizes and types—from hospital foundations to food banks to higher education institutions—can apply social influence in their fundraising and awareness campaigns.

Navigating the News: ABC and University of Tasmania partner to present national journalism and media literacy conference
Wednesday, 4 July , 2018
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the University of Tasmania will present a two-day conference in Hobart in September to explore the public's declining trust in the media and how news organisations are responding.
Navigating the News Conference, to be held at the University of Tasmania, Hobart on 10-11 September 2018, will bring together leading Australian journalists and academics to discuss trust in journalism and how to collaborate to help better inform citizens.
Speakers include ABC Managing Director Michelle Guthrie; Vice-Chancellor of the University of Tasmania Professor Rufus Black; Director ABC News, Analysis and Investigations Gaven Morris; UNESCO Chair of Journalism and Communication at the University of Queensland Peter Greste; Chief Executive of The Australian Nicholas Gray; Editor, The Sydney Morning Herald Lisa Davies; and Editor and General Manager of Buzzfeed Australia, Simon Crerar.
Dr Claire Wardle, an international expert on social media, user-generated content and verification, has been confirmed as a keynote speaker. Dr Wardle is Executive Director of First Draft, which is dedicated to finding solutions to the challenges associated with trust and truth in the digital age. She is also a Research Fellow at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Australia's National Children's Commissioner, Ms Megan Mitchell, will lead the second day of the conference discussing the equipping and empowering of citizens of the future.
The conference is part of the inaugural Media Literacy Week -- an ABC initiative aimed at equipping Australians of all ages -- particularly students -- with the skills they need to understand and interpret news and information. Navigating the News Conference is Media Literacy Week's flagship event and is led by journalist and media academic Dr Joce Nettlefold.
"In today's media environment we have seen a significant shift in how people consume their news and information and they are increasingly exposed to fast-moving misinformation," Dr Nettlefold said.
"This conference seeks to identify ways we can build public interest journalism and increase media literacy in Australia. Science and health communications are also a focus.
"Journalists have traditionally been gate-keepers of information, but in the interactive media environment their role is being expanded to include much-needed guidance to audiences and readers."
The conference will be held at the Centre for the Arts, University of Tasmania in Hobart. Registration is now open with a limited number of seats available to the public. To register please go here.
The conference will be livestreamed and some sessions will be available on demand on ABC platforms after the event.

The Final 'Batman V Superman' Trailer Is Here (And It's Extra Heavy On Batman)
Posted February 11th, 2016 by Jax Motes
The first major movie event of the year is a little more than a month away, so get ready to get your final tease as to the contents of the highly scrutinized, highly anticipated 'Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice', the film that unites Henry Cavill's Superman, Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and sets the stage for a full line of movies coming over the next five+ years.
There have already been several trailers and clips released, all of which have fleshed out the film a bit further and highlighting different aspects and characters of the film. And the final trailer, which is heavy on new material, also has a bit of a narrow focus: Batman.
That may be intentional, as this is Affleck's first go at playing the Dark Knight, and it comes just four years after Christian Bale's last turn in the role. It probably is important to announce to mainstream audiences that Batman is back and is just as kickass as before, despite his advanced age, which is rather heavy-handedly made clear.
We also get some nice dry comedic lines from Jeremy Irons as the newest film Alfred.
Watch the newest and last trailer below:
The clip certainly emphasizes the titular conflict, with Lex Luthor only making a few brief appearances. The same is true of Gadot's Wonder Woman. Even though her inclusion has been heavily hyped, keep in mind that her name isn't in the title, so if you're expecting her to play as large a role as either Batman or Superman, you may be in for a huge disappointment.
Interestingly, the big reveal in the previous trailer was that of Doomsday, who doesn't appear in this one at all.
The majority of the trailer consists of nonsequitor quick-cuts, so there's not much to glean from those, but overall it looks like, at the very least, if you love Batman, this movie may be just what you're looking for.
What do you think? Does this final trailer make you more pumped to see 'Batman V Superman'?
'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter, and Jesse Eisenberg hits theaters on March 25, 2016.

Now, the one person with whom you CAN freely, wholly, and even passionately 'vent' is our Lord, God Almighty. At first, it may seem disrespectful to be too frank, or blunt, or even to question His leading… but remember, He knows you way better than anyone else… way better. Who better to engage in a deep-rooted discussion, a passionate venting, even a frustrated whining maybe? Not disrespectfully or demandingly… just you, having a personal discussion with your maker! Let it be open and free… kind of a 'getting it off my chest' process. He really does know the depths of your woes, in fact Jeremiah 31:25 reminds us; "For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.", which is to say that He, and ONLY He can actually DO something about you feelings, about your frustrations, about your fears and brokenness.
See? He does actually encourage us to grumble snd complain… just… to the right person!


The Blueberry Tree is a fast growing shrub that can be planted or kept in a pot, producing excellent berries.
A well-loved fruit that are fast becoming a staple in the garden, blueberries are both delicious and nutritious. Extremely high in vitamin C and full of anti-oxidants, they have been used over centuries to treat a multitude of different ailments.
Easy to grow in full sun or partial shade as long as they have acidic soils and reliable moisture. They will also thrive in pots filled with ericaceous compost if garden conditions are not ideal.
Prepare the ground well before planting. Blueberries can also be grown in large pots and containers if ericaceous compost is used. Prune in winter, cutting out dead or damaged branches.
In spring, feed with sulphate of ammonia, sulphate of potash and bonemeal and top-dress with ericaceous compost.
Soil: prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil or ericaceous compost in a pot.


Does this sound Familiar? Same people same tactics...its all about money not safety.
Buena Park is one of five remaining cities in Orange County that permits the sale and discharge of fireworks. The other 28 cities banned fireworks to protect the safety and property of their citizens. Because of the ban in surrounding cities, Buena Park's population swells to over 250,000 each Independence Day. Crowds block streets, take over parks and overrun neighborhoods as they set off legal AND illegal fireworks. Unfortunately, discharging "state approved fireworks" masks illegal fireworks, making law enforcement nearly impossible. The resulting chaos and mess are overwhelming. Buena Park endures each Independence Day one spark away from disaster. Calls to your Police and Fire Departments skyrocketed 400% in the last three years. The alarming truth is no Police Department can protect its citizens from a quarter-million people "legally" discharging dangerous explosives. For six hours each year, Buena Park becomes "a war zone!" The vast majority of California cities prohibit fireworks, calling them "a serious hazard to health, welfare and safety of citizens." Anaheim outlawed fireworks in 1987 after fireworks burned down an apartment complex, leaving over 200 people homeless. Citizens of Cerritos demanded fireworks be outlawed in 1989 after a home burned to the ground. On July 4, 2002, a nine-year-old boy in Buena Park was killed in front of his family and hundreds of people as fireworks masked the gunshot that ended his life. Today, we have the opportunity to act before another tragedy devastates our community. Fireworks manufacturers claim banning fireworks is unpatriotic. Are cities like Anaheim, Cypress, and Brea less patriotic than Buena Park? The manufacturers' real issue is losing over $1,000,000 from fireworks sales. Nonprofit groups contend that losing fireworks revenues would be devastating, yet these and similar groups thrive in surrounding cities like La Palma, Fullerton, and Fountain Valley without money from fireworks. The true issue is safety in our community.
REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE D Claiming 6,800 people "rallied" to keep fireworks IS NOT TRUE. The petition asked that the ordinance "...be submitted to a vote of the people ..." Measure D is responding to that request. Firework manufacturers claim they paid the cost of Police services last Independence Day. THIS IS NOT TRUE. The 100 Officers needed to keep you safe cost our local taxpayers over $50,000. Next year will cost more! Fireworks manufacturers want you to believe cities that already ban fireworks have the same problems as Buena Park. THIS IS NOT TRUE! Anaheim PD did not put on one extra Police Officer last year. While 20 Officers patrolled Anaheim, a city 5 times the size of Buena Park, 100 Police Officers and added Fire Department personnel were not enough in Buena Park. Fireworks manufacturers repeatedly say Measure D will take away funding from local nonprofit groups and is therefore unpatriotic. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Nonprofit groups thrive in our surrounding communities without fireworks money. The loss of fireworks money has nothing to do with patriotism. Advocates say they will be giving up the traditional way to celebrate Independence Day. This is a false issue. Shooting fireworks in the street makes no one patriotic and is no less a tradition than attending a community fireworks display with your family, such as the one your City sponsors each year at Bellis Park. The real issue is safety. Your vote should be based on providing a safe Buena Park. Vote YES on Measure D to ban fireworks in Buena Park.

What You Need to Know Nipsey Hussle
Jay-Z honors Nipsey Hussle in impromptu freestyle rap
Jared Leone, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
Jay-Z honored late rapper Nipsey Hussle in a more than 20-second impromptu freestyle rap during a Friday performance.
Jay-Z, who supported and collaborated with Hussle, performed the freestyle tribute during a break from his planned setlist at his "B-Sides 2" concert at Webster Hall.
"Gentrify your own hood before these people do it/ Claim eminent domain and have your people move in/ That's a small glimpse into what Nipsey was doing/ For anybody still confused as to what he was doing," Jay-Z said in part of the rhyme. "I told neighborhood Nipsey stay close/ There's a hundred million dollars on your schedule, lay low. I never dreamed he'd be killed in a place that he called home."

When Hussle started to sell his mixtape "Crenshaw" for $100 each album in 2013 Jay-Z purchased 100 copies, which led to a sellout of the 1,000-album inventory in less than 24 hours.
Hussle, 33, was fatally shot March 31 outside his clothing store.

Mama, what happened on September 11?
August 31, 2011 October 4, 2011 / 'Becca
If you haven't heard this question from your child yet, you're likely to hear it any day now. As the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks approaches, I'm seeing and hearing more commemoration than in the past eight years.
My son asked about September 11 two years ago when the newspaper vending box showed a solemn, patriotic event and he wanted to know what that was about. The simple answer is, "Every year on September 11, we remember people who died when our country was attacked." That would be enough information for some young children. As with any sensitive topic, the best approach is to answer only the question the child is really asking. I am sharing the full "story" I told to Nicholas (who was only 4 years 8 months old but was already a very detail-oriented, tell-me-the-whole-story type of person!) as an example of what you might need to explain to a child, but be careful of heaping them with too many details. In particular, think about whether your child is really asking, "Exactly what happened?" or, "Why did it happen?"
I began with my personal experience of the day because I think about half of the reason for September 11's importance is the effect it had on our entire population, the feelings of shock and bewilderment and crisis that affected even people who were far away from the attack sites and didn't know anyone involved. I chose a tall building that is familiar to my child as a way of explaining the size of the World Trade Center. Of course, you will use your own story and familiar building. You'll also express your own values when you talk about the politics behind the attacks.
September 11, 2001, was a beautiful sunny day with a bright blue sky, just an ordinary Tuesday. Daddy and I were ready for work at the same time, and we rode on the bus together until his stop. When I got to work, my assistant Matt was already there and listening to the radio while working. I said hello and went to put my lunch in the refrigerator.
When I got back, Matt told me, "An airplane hit the World Trade Center! The news was on the radio a moment ago." The World Trade Center was a group of office buildings in New York City. It had two very tall towers, the tallest buildings in New York. Each one was three times as tall as the Cathedral of Learning and even bigger around. Thousands of people worked there.
I said, "Was it an accident?" Matt said, "Of course it was an accident! Nobody would fly a plane into a building on purpose!"
About 15 minutes later, the song on the radio stopped right in the middle, and the DJ said, "We just learned that a second airplane has crashed into the other tower of the World Trade Center." Matt and I looked at each other, and then we both said at the same time, "This is not an accident."
We knew that two planes flying into two buildings must mean that somebody wanted to hurt a lot of people, but who was it, and why? We felt very scared and worried. Everyone in the office was talking about it and listening to radios. There was no more music, only news, but the news people didn't know what was going on, either.
Then another airplane crashed into the Pentagon, the Army headquarters office building near Washington, D.C. The air traffic controllers–the people who talk to airplane pilots on the radio and tell them where to fly so they don't get in each other's way–were telling every plane flying over the United States to land as soon as possible at the nearest airport. But there was one more plane that wasn't following their instructions.
The next news was that one of the World Trade Center towers had collapsed. That whole building, more than 100 stories tall, had been damaged so badly that it fell down! Just a little while later, the other tower fell. Some of the people who had been working there couldn't get out in time. Also, firefighters had been going into the buildings to try to put out the fires and help people who were hurt, and lots of them died.
Soon after that, the last plane crashed–but this one did not hit a building; it went into a field "near Pittsburgh," the radio said. Well, at that point, our office manager decided all of us should go home. Later we found out that the field actually was way out in Somerset County, about a two-hour drive away, but at that moment we felt like the attack was coming closer and closer!
I walked all the way home because there were no buses. Later I learned that most of the tall buildings in Pittsburgh had closed and sent home all the workers, just in case their building might be the next one attacked–so there was a big traffic jam Downtown. As I walked, looking at the blue sky and listening to the birds singing and feeling the warm breeze, I prayed for the people who must be stuck under broken buildings, for the helpers who were trying to rescue them, and for the people who had died in the crashes. It was hard to believe this was really happening. It was such a pretty day, it just seemed impossible.
When I got home and turned on the television, I was relieved to learn that no new awful things had happened. The attack was over. But we still did not know who had attacked or why. All we knew was that some of the passengers on each plane had gotten up, after the plane was in the air, and hurt the pilots and taken over flying the plane. When they crashed those four planes, they killed all the regular people who just happened to be passengers and workers on those planes, and they also killed themselves. It's so crazy and horrible it's hard to believe, but that's what they did. People who do a terrible thing like that are called terrorists. They probably meant to crash all the planes into important buildings with lots of people in them–but on that fourth plane, some of the passengers called their families on cell phones and learned what had happened to the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and they decided to try to stop their plane from hurting people. They fought with the terrorists about who was going to fly the plane, and then nobody was steering it very well, so they crashed into the field. All the people on that plane died, but by stopping their plane from hitting a building they may have saved hundreds of other people.
The next day, we started to learn about who the terrorists were and what they were thinking. They came from countries on the other side of the world, in a region that's called the Middle East. Some of the countries there are Iraq and Afghanistan, where the wars are happening now, and also Saudi Arabia. Most people in those countries belong to a religion called Islam. Like most religions, it has many good people trying to serve God in loving and peaceful ways, but also some groups who have twisted ideas about what God wants. One of those twisted Islamic groups is called al Qaeda.
Members of al Qaeda believe that God wants everyone to live according to the rules they believe are right–rules about how to pray, dress, eat, drink, work, and talk. They believe that people of other religions should not have any power in the Middle East. They believe that anyone who doesn't agree with them should be killed.
Al Qaeda is not a country or a government; it is a group of terrorists who attack people and groups and countries that they think are trying to interfere with their rules. The governments of some of the countries in the Middle East were making those rules their laws, and the United States had been arguing with some of those governments. Al Qaeda members decided to attack the United States to try to scare us away from the Middle East. They believed they were so right and we were so wrong that it was okay to kill more than two thousand people in the planes and in the buildings they hit.
Jesus said we should pray for people who hurt us. It's very hard to pray for al Qaeda! They really do believe they are doing what God wants–so I pray that God will get through to them with the truth, that they will feel God's love and begin to love other people instead of hating us.
You know that when you are mad at someone, you should use words instead of hurting the person. Even if you are right and they are wrong, if you choose to attack them then you have done something wrong. Even the wrongest person, even someone who has hurt you, is still a person.
After the September 11 attacks, George W. Bush–who was our President at the time–decided that our soldiers should attack Afghanistan and Iraq, where the governments were imposing those rules and killing people who disagreed. That's how the wars started. Those were bad governments. I hope that Afghanistan and Iraq will be better places after the wars are over. But the wars have killed many thousands more people, hurt millions of people, and destroyed lots of land and houses. I believe that more fighting and killing was not the right answer to the problem of al Qaeda; it has only made them mad, and although many of their people have been killed, new people keep joining al Qaeda. I hope we can find a way to stop fighting.
The good news is that we haven't had any more big attacks on the United States in these past ten years. We are very, very lucky. Every year on September 11, we remember that scary day and feel sad for all the people who died, but we also feel grateful that we are still here, we are safe, and we are free to choose our religion and so many other things. Every sunny, bright blue September day is a special gift!
That's the story that worked for me! Believe it or not, this is actually the shortest, most basic version; Nicholas (now 6 years old) has asked for several retellings and asked a lot of questions! In particular, he was very interested in the collapse of the World Trade Center. For me personally, that was the most horrifying part of the day because I was an architecture student at the time of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which inspired my structures professor to give a special lecture about how those skyscrapers could survive extensive structural damage. On September 11, I was so certain the towers could not fall–and then they did. I did not understand it until I saw the television footage. I'm not much of a screamer, but my first involuntary reaction was to scream in terror for that beautiful brave building murdered before my eyes, smoldering, and then brought to the ground in ten seconds. Here is an excellent explanation of why the World Trade Center collapsed so suddenly and completely. Even now, even the still photos accompanying that article make me feel sick. It would have horrified me even if every person had escaped safely–but they didn't, which makes it even worse. Nicholas wants to see the video, but I have told him to wait until he's older, because once you've seen it you cannot forget.

"Green" cars use alternate sources of fuel, giving them a much-deserved reputation for being friendly to the environment. Drivers love them because they spend more time on the road and less at the pump. With many options on the market, which one is right for you? Here's a buyer's guide to match you with a new ride.
Professionals in technology, whether in Silicon Valley or other hubs across America, probably have their eyes on the green car of their dreams -- the 2015 Tesla Model S. This electric vehicle releases zero emissions, making it among the most planet-friendly of cars.
The Model S can drive up to 290 miles on one charge. Tech geeks love the Model S for touch-screen control, custom driver settings and energy monitors. Wi-Fi access, a hands-free phone system and Internet radio make the commute more productive and enjoyable.
After 50 years, the 007 franchise lives on partly for unveiling slick luxury cars that offer excitement and mystery. Maybe the work day is more "Office Space" than "Casino Royale," but you can still dream. Take a test drive of the plug-in hybrid 2015 BMW i8, a sporty car to satisfy any international spy. Car and Driver gave this vehicle a five-star rating for its superior handling, sharp steering and quick acceleration of speeds up to 155 mph. The i8 gets 28 mpg, city.
Whether it's surfing in Malibu or skiing Utah's slopes, adventure sports enthusiasts love a challenge. But they also want to preserve the natural landscape they love so much. Green cars don't have to be dainty -- they can get mud in their tires. Try the all-wheel-drive 2016 Lexus NX Hybrid, which can climb mountains and still look sleek on city streets -- all while getting an average 25 miles to the gallon.
The modern update of the flower child of the '60s is the spiritual guru who manages to keep his center while chaos swirls around him. When not floating upon a cloud of serenity, he can listen to calming mantras in a compact hybrid vehicle. The sporty 2015 BMW i3 has a range of up to 150 miles on one charge and leaves almost no carbon footprint, but still makes an impression.
The prototypical soccer mom or dad juggles work and family life with aplomb. The last thing these busy multitaskers need is a trip to the gas station, or worse, to the mechanic. Safety and reliability are paramount for these high-performing working parents, whether it's loading up the kids for a trip to school or embarking on a cross-country adventure. The whole family will fit into the 2016 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, the most fuel-efficient three-row vehicle on the market. While SUVs are known to be gas guzzlers, this car gets 27 city miles to the gallon.
College grads want a car that's fun to drive on their daily commute, but they may be saddled with student loan bills. Fortunately, the green car market has matured enough that there are affordable models. The 2016 Toyota Prius C is a compact hybrid that boasts great fuel economy -- 53 city miles to the gallon. Despite the lean price, this car has fun features such as customizable contrast-color accents, Internet radio and the touch-screen App Suite.
Love it or hate it, the selfie culture is here to stay -- until something else comes along. The image-conscious feel there's a camera on them at all times. Rather than fighting that belief, why not choose an environmentally friendly car and indulge the fantasy? Consider the 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as a green car option. This car gets fuel economy comparable to other cars of its class at under 30 miles per gallon. But, this plug-in hybrid can drive for at least 14 miles on electricity alone. That means a spin around the city looking for fun and adoring fans won't spoil the planet.
You can't be categorized or pigeon-holed -- and neither can the latest hybrid and electric cars. Try any of these advanced vehicles and see how you feel behind the wheel. Green cars can offer a drive that fits your personal style.

Carnival Cruise Line extends operational pause through September 30
Tatiana Rokou
Carnival initially announced a voluntary 30-day pause in operations on March 13, and has now extended that pause three times, reflecting the public health challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
MIAMI – Carnival Cruise Line advised guests and travel agents that it has extended its operational pause in North America through Sept. 30, 2020.
"During this unprecedented pause in our business, we have continued to assess the operating environment and confer with public health, government and industry officials," Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy told booked guests and travel agents in a letter. But she added that following the cruise industry's announcement on Friday that it would voluntarily extend its pause in North America, Carnival Cruise Line is now cancelling all cruises through September 30.
"We have watched with great interest as commerce, travel and personal activities have begun to start back up, and once we do resume service, we will take all necessary steps to ensure the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we bring our ships to in order to maintain public confidence in our business. Nevertheless, we apologize for disrupting your vacation plans and appreciate your patience as we work through these decisions," Duffy said in the letter.
Carnival initially announced a voluntary 30-day pause in operations on March 13, and has now extended that pause three times, reflecting the public health challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. It is currently completing the repatriation of nearly 29,000 crew members to more than 100 nations who serve its fleet of 27 ships. As with previous pause announcements, Carnival is giving guests who wish to move their booking to a later date a rebooking offer that combines a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) and either a $300 or $600 Onboard Credit (OBC) that has proven very popular with their guests. Guests, as always, have the option to receive a full refund. The process is fully automated so that guests can submit their preference online and they have until May 31, 2021 to make a selection.
"We appreciate the patience and support of our loyal guests, and recognize how much they want to get back to cruising. When the time is right, our outstanding onboard team will be waiting to welcome them back and give them the great vacation that they deserve," said Duffy.

Kompong Speu, 13 September, 2018 – In celebration of World First Aid Day on 8 September, Prudence Foundation, the regional community investment arm of life insurer Prudential Cambodia, launched the inaugural SAFE STEPS First Aid programme in Cambodia with the endorsement of Cambodian Red Cross. SAFE STEPS First Aid aims to help save lives and ensure communities are less vulnerable in emergency situations.

"It is very important for everyone to have basic first aid knowledge as it can help save lives. At Cambodian Red Cross, we are pleased to host the World First Aid Day. I would also like to thank Japan Red Cross and Prudential Cambodia for supporting the Cambodian Red Cross as we play a bigger role in promoting first aid across the country," she remaked in her speech addressing 300 guests.

When CoP Trevor Paul banned police officers in January 2008 from sports, he cited that the manpower was needed to fight the escalating crime problem.
On January 17, Police Commissioner Trevor Paul banned some 200 police officers from playing sports outside of the Police Service, insisting that all resources were needed in the fight against crime.
The Police Social and Welfare Association is calling for a boycott of this year's Police Service sports and all activities leading up to it in order to deal with crime effectively.
"We are calling for a boycott of the Sports Day for two reasons; the present ban on sporting activities and the fact that the sports club is operating illegally," Neil Warner-Paul secretary of the association said during an interview at Queen's Park Savannah, Port of Spain, yesterday.
He accused the officers in the Savannah of trying "to get away from police duties" as well as those engaged in practice sessions for the march past competition.
"That is contradictory because he (the Commissioner) cited prevalence of crime as the reason for the ban on sports but we don't know that crime has decreased since the ban and right now we have a waste of resources."

The ETE Dashboard integrates various data realms and sources to present key metrics for tracking progress towards Ending the Epidemic in New York State.
Interested in receiving data and new research?
On June 29, 2014, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo detailed a three-point plan to move us closer to the end of the AIDS epidemic in New York State. The goal is to reduce the number of new HIV infections to just 750 [from an estimated 3,000] by the end of 2020 and achieve the first ever decrease in HIV prevalence in New York State.
The purpose of the Ending the Epidemic (ETE) Dashboard System is to measure, track and disseminate actionable information on progress towards achieving New York State's Ending the Epidemic (ETE) Initiative's goals to all stakeholders.


As a landlord or property manager, you may increase rents on rental properties periodically. A Rent Increase Notice can be used as a written notification to your tenants. It can include details such as the rate of increase and when the increase takes effect.
You would like to notify a tenant of an increase in their monthly rent.
You want to create a record of notifying the tenant about the rent increase.
Local and state laws may regulate how much you can increase the rent and how many days of notice you are required to give. You are also most often restricted from raising rent while a current lease agreement is still active, unless it specifies in the lease that a rent increase may occur.
Can a landlord increase the rent without providing notice?
In most areas, property management companies cannot raise the rent without providing notice. How far in advance notice needs to be given varies by local landlord-tenant laws. Some areas also have different notice requirements depending on how much the rent is raised. If the lease agreement is still active, you may choose to send a letter out 60 days in advance to remind your tenant that their lease is soon to end, the rent rate will be increased, and that a new lease will need to be signed to continue.
Can a landlord also increase the security deposit?
Local laws vary, but in most cases security deposits cannot be raised unless it is included in the active lease agreement. If a rental agreement doesn't exist or the terms have expired, property managers can raise the security deposit with due notice. However, the definition of what "due notice" is varies depending on local ordinances. Most often it is 30 to 60 days. Some areas also have restrictions on how much the landlord is allowed to raise the deposit.
What is the best way to send the notice?
You'll want to send it in a way that ensures that the tenant actually receives the notice. You can arrange to deliver the letter in person, which also gives you the opportunity to explain the rent increase terms. Other options include using a courier service, registered mail or certified mail. If you actively communicate with your tenant by email, you can send the notice by email, but it is best practice to also send a printed copy, as well.
Are there restrictions on raising rents?
Limitations vary by local laws, but in most cases you'll want to be careful about any action that could be construed as discrimination or retaliation. For example, if your tenant has complained about possible code violations and is requesting repairs, it may be considered an act of retaliation if you increase the rent. Some areas also have rent control ordinances, which may limit how much and how often you can raise rents.
Our Rent Increase Letter template makes it simple for you to make customized notification documents. It also allows you the opportunity to communicate other types of updated rent information such as changes in payment options or late-fee schedules.
If you have questions about rent increases, ask a lawyer. If you need additional rental forms, check out our landlord center.
More than just a template, our step-by-step interview process makes it easy to create a Rent Increase Letter.

NUMENOR"Opus Draconis"
Petar Mrvic4 October 2011
Tanelorn Records – 2011 – Serbia
"Opus Draconis" is the first release of this Serbian Epic Black Metal band which is available for a wider audience. If I have to compare the music of this band then I would say that they sound like a mixture of Arcturus and Bal-Sagoth. On this release are 4 songs, from which 1 is an older song from the time when this band still worked under the name Esgaroth. 1 song is a cover version of the song "Legend of the master ring" by Summoning and the other 2 songs represent the sound of this band. The first song here on this EP is the song "Monarchy divine" which is from the Esgaroth period. Comparing this song to the other 2 Numenor song, it sounds a bit harder with not so many orchestral parts. Still, this song is very bombastic and it shows the beginning of the path this band walked from 2006 when this song was recorded. In this song are many tempo changes which makes it very interesting and also the atmosphere in this song is from time to time a bit grim. The next song here is the song "Once we were kings" which is a newer song. This song shows already that nowadays this band uses more orchestral parts to make the atmosphere of their music. Also, comparing to the older song, it sounds a bit heavier. Sometimes there are some Behemoth elements in the 2 newer songs hearable. The vocals in this song go from grim Black Metal, over clear vocals to spoken parts. The clear vocals are better done in this song comparing to the clean vocals in "Monarchy Divine". Also, there are a lot of progressive parts in the song which are better done than in the previous one. The next song is also a newer track. "Aeons of Magick" continues there where "Once we were kings" stopped. The beginning sounds a bit strange. Like it come from somewhere far away. But, I could say that this is just a trick to make the listener listen very carefully before the bombastic part start to blow everything away. From time to time, the guitars are not so good to hear because the orchestral parts are very in the front. But that has also a reason. This way it sounds like the guitars and the orchestral parts having a duel. The last song here is the cover version of the Summoning song. Comparing to the original version of this song, there are not so many changes. The production of this song is clearer comparing to the original which allows to the listener to here some parts of this song even better. Also, the samples from some various LOTR plays give another touch to this song.

History of the Sonning Branch
Following the devastations and enormous loss of life and injury in World War 1, a voice was needed for the ex-service community. As a result, in 1921 following the merger of four organisations the British Legion was founded. The Legion was formed to help serving members of the armed forces, ex-service personnel and their families, now and for the rest of their lives.
The altruistic aims of the Legion affected the people of Sonning and on 4 February 1924 28 people attended a public meeting and unanimously agreed to form a branch.
Col Anderson was the first chairman and at the first meeting a membership sub of 2/6d was set — it has gone up since. The first function on 5 March 1924 was a smoking concert! Later, arrangements for Remembrance Sunday were agreed for 9 November 1924 and all committee members gave 3d towards the cost of a wreath. By the year end the branch had 41 members.
Social functions were a major part of the activities with profits going to the Poppy Appeal. Until the late 1990s whist drives, dances, garden parties and an annual dinner were held. Many of the dinners were in the White Hart (Great House) and in 1973 132 members and their friends attended.
The social activities were always strongly supported, and often run by, the women's section that was formed in 1928. Unfortunately this was disbanded in 1999 and their standard laid up in St Andrew's Church. The ladies had their own standard bearers and there is a tradition in one family of carrying it. Mrs Irene Nichols started the tradition, then Mary Jane her daughter and now Penny Adams her granddaughter. Both male and female bearers have been excellent and some have paraded at the Albert Hall.
Over the years the committee met in various venues including a hut in Woodley owned by the branch. Pubs were popular, the Bull in Sonning and the Bull & Chequers in Woodley, but the Sonning Club was the most frequently used, as it is to this day.
Visiting sick members was assiduously carried out by committee members when there was much faith and mention of whisky and rum as remedies!
In 1938, with the threat of war, discussion took place as to how the branch could help. Air raid precautions and warden training were reviewed, and gas masks were stored in the branch hut. In October 1939 some members were recalled and support for them was a high priority.
After the war social activities were strongly supported giving much to the Poppy Appeal. Details of funds raised were sketchy until in the 1970s when the amount grew from below £1,000 a year to over £15,000 in 2011 when Malcolm Geeter was the coordinator.
Also in the 70's support for the Somerset Legion Home in Weston Super Mare began. Money and goods were supplied for the Sonning Room in the home and local members have visited and stayed there. In 2004 a framed picture of Sonning Bridge was donated for the Sonning Room. Later a new home was built and the picture is still on prominent display.
Standard tradition: Mary Jane (left) with her mother Irene Nichols and the Legion's standard that is laid up in St Andrew's The Remembrance Sunday service and parade have always been a vital part of its activities including, in earlier days, parading at Sonning in the morning and at St John's Church, Woodley in the afternoon. The route of the march has changed over the years but the enthusiasm for the parade and service has remained unabated by those who join Legion members such as the scouts, guides, brownies — who had a special role in the service — cubs, fire brigade, WRVS and the Reading Blue Coat School.
Providing a band was sometimes a problem until 1978 when the Reading Salvation Army began leading the parade and playing a prominent part in the service. In November 1981 the service and parade was televised by ITV.
St Andrew's Church has always provided excellent support. Recently, Rev Jamie Taylor and the branch under the leadership of Col Gordon Barnett, organised magnificent celebrations for the 65th anniversary of VE Day and in June 2009 the D Day anniversary. The branch has always tried to commemorate the major anniversaries and 2014 will undoubtedly be a year to remember.
In 2001 the branch could not sustain a viable committee to meet National Charter legal requirements so it was agreed to become a sub-branch of Wargrave. This allows the branch to meet the main wishes of members, namely: to parade on Remembrance Sunday with its own standard and to collect for the annual Poppy Appeal in the name of Sonning. So the branch continues and currently has 62 members and the current Poppy Appeal coordinator, Daphne Payne, does a first class job.
The work of the Royal British Legion — it became Royal by charter in 1977 — is vital. Last year it dealt with 36,000 war disablement pension cases for veterans and 300,000 welfare and friendship visits. Some of that work is local, so the need is there just as it was in 1924 when the branch was founded. That need will remain. Your local Sonning sub-branch needs new members, especially younger ones. You need not be ex-service, so please sign up.

I also ported it on the OpenPandra (look here: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/14539-valyria-tear/ ).
Works very well, I also have long loading time, but less long than what is mentionned in N900 forum (I get some 10sec loading, more or less).
Also, can you give me a screenshot with the OpenPandora dialogue font size. I'll maybe consider making it bigger if it doesn't bring big issues.
I'll try to do some screenshot (but I'm not home before the end of week). It does a few overlaping, with Quest name for example or I have seen a dialog going outise the "paper" part. But the andora screen is very small, so i did *2 for font.size<13 and *3/2 for font.size<19.
Il'll try without music soon and report also as soon as I can.
I have done some perf analysis, and yes, ogg decoding seems the most cpu hungry process!
More than 30% CPU eaten on loading music part.
Is loading only a CPU problem, or is the filesize problematic for the memory also?
I wondered whether reducing the music quality would help.
It's not a file size issue. It's all fit the memory, no swapping involved here.I'm not sure what reducing music quality means. Should I try to use different ogg file or should I try less kHz in the output format?
> Should I try to use different ogg file or should I try less kHz in the output format?
Well, I first naively think reducing the Khz could be an option and see whether this helps about loading.
But if it's not, I'll need to know what function(s) is(are) slow, so we can work on it together.

In the most stunning presidential election in American history, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump swept into the White House Tuesday night. Much like the Ronald Reagan campaign of 1980, Trump appealed to the disconnected, the weary and angry electorate rejecting liberalism and the Washington elite of both parties.
Aside from the crowd gathered at Hillary Clinton's headquarters in New York who watched the returns in a growing realization of defeat, the nation's pollsters, for the most part, were dead wrong. They suffered an industry-shattering embarrassment at the hands of the most unlikely president-elect since Harry Truman defeated the overwhelming darling of the polls, Thomas Dewey in 1948.
The vast majority of pollsters and election modelers forecasted the darling of the Washington establishment, Hillary Clinton, would win, sweeping the battleground states and win north of 300 electoral votes. It was a reflection of Ronald Reagan's uphill fight against incumbent President Jimmy Carter. The polls in general missed the massive tide of discontent among the American electorate.
One such glaring example was the final University of Virginia Center for Politics model. It had Clinton winning 322 electoral votes to 216 for Trump, with Clinton winning Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. She lost all those states.
Naturally shocked liberals were searching for scapegoats and not the message they carried, which was essentially to go with the flow. Like Reagan's populist message that resonated among what Spiro Agnew had called "the silent majority," Trump's rejection of the corruption in Washington and the failure of liberal policies was heard from the small towns of this country and disillusioned Americans seeking change in any form.
The stark fact about the pollsters was that the 11 national polls released in the final week of the race showed only three, a Los Angeles Times-USC survey, the Rasmussen poll and IBD/TIPP that Trump had the lead. All three polls were scoffed by the likes of the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and The New York Times. Were they working on factual data or again providing their innate bias to the election process?
The liberal media criticized the L.A. Times poll as "experimental," as did industry experts for polling the same pool of people and for the way it weighted black voters. Yet for the second consecutive presidential cycle, the L.A. Times, Rasmussen and IBD/TIPP surveys were among the most accurate, making them the gold standard going forward.
Meanwhile, the rest of the "credible" polls showed Clinton with leads of between 2 points and 6 points, boosting the Democrat to a 3.3 point national lead in the RealClearPolitics average.
Their battleground data was just as biased against Trump. Were they rigged, as Trump claimed? It is a dark day for most pollsters and their relationship with a growing majority of skeptical Americans who are viewing most of the establishment, including the polling industry with severe doubt and an unseen anger by the liberal elite.
Clinton held a 6.5 point lead in the Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and North Carolina. Trump won all those states and Ohio too. Election modelers declined to flip any of those battleground states, even as the Clinton campaign rushed furiously to defend those states in the final days of the election.
In fact, the conventional wisdom among many pollsters was that the race would be somewhat close nationally; a two to three point range, with Clinton running the table. But state after state told the same story for Trump and Clinton. The crowd gathered at the Clinton national headquarters went from jubilant with the balloons and confetti awaiting their release, to a growing sense of panic and finally despair as the key states unfolded into Trump's inside hand of strategic brilliance.
The pollsters disregarded, or never interviewed in depth, the utter disgust of white working class voters. They clearly underestimated that base entirely. Those voters swarmed to Trump on Election Day, and like Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan made fools of the left-leaning, highly inaccurate national polls.
Unlike Obama in 2008 and 2012, Clinton failed to bring the expected number of women voters, African-Americans and the Democrat coalition of minority voters. Trump's message of renewed optimism for their plight resonated more than the liberal elite thought possible. Obama's constituency of young voters disappeared through their anger of Bernie Sanders treatment by the Hillary campaign organization.
Pollster John Zogby believes that many in the industry weighted their polls too heavily in favor of Democrats, pointing to polls that had an 8 to 9 point advantage for the party, when it should have been in the 4 to 5 point range, he said. Was that intentional to produce the facade of Clinton's "inevitable" victory to keep Trump supporters in the dark? That assumption will have to be reexamined.
An Associated Press analysis found Clinton bested Trump by 13 points among women. Meanwhile Trump got the support of 70 percent of white men without a college education, besting Mitt Romney's showing by 10 points, the AP study found. The election came off as the white vote was a united minority group that decided the liberal policies of the Obama administration had to be stopped.
In fact, few models or polls predicted there would be enough white voters to turn out to counterbalance demographic trends that were believed to tilt heavily in Clinton's favor. They were wrong. Furthermore, the polls failed to see the votes Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson pulled in key states. He took more that 3.5 percent support in Wisconsin and Michigan, enough to make up the difference between Trump and Clinton. He took 2.5 percent support in Pennsylvania, which was decided by about 1 point.
Pollsters will have to reassess after a dismal showing in 2016 that produced a result almost no one foresaw. President-elect Donald Trump now faces a daunting task of repairing the economy, America's foreign policy, immigration, and most importantly the fact that the country is divided down the middle. The Republicans holding both the House and the Senate will provide Trump with a wide open honeymoon starting January 20, 2017. What an election.
It doesn't hurt that Hillary Clinton gave a gracious speech of congratulations and support to the president-elect. She should be applauded for her campaign and utter diligence in the face of obvious health problems and political liabilities beginning with her personal server and the Clinton Foundation. She must know that those two issues alone cost her millions of votes that another Democratic candidate such as Joe Biden or even her running mate Tim Kaine would not have faced.

Microsoft Outlook reminders are scheduling components that can keep you alert at important events. The application shows a peculiar behavior when any of these items get corrupt, one of such has been described later. But if the corruption occurs together with PST file corruption, you need solution that might perform PST Recovery to recover pst file from MS Outlook.
With this error message, Outlook loses the ability to send and receive e-mail messages.
Outlook fails to show the reminders if one or more of these items in the folder are damaged or corrupted. You can simply resolve this issue by deleting the reminders. But if Outlook cannot perform e-mail operations as the second error also occurs, your PST might be damaged.
If Outlook starts working as normal, you don't need to take further steps, but in case e-mail delivery and sending is stopped because of PST issues, you should apply a suitable PST Recovery Tool.
Backup your PST and run Outlook Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe) to repair the corrupted PST. Scanpst.exe is a hidden file, so keep in mind to include hidden and system files before starting to search the file. If PST corruption still persists, you need a third-party PST File Recovery alternative.
Outlook PST Recovery Software is a professional utility that repairs corrupted PST and restores the data in a new, Outlook-usable PST. The PST Recovery Tool uses an advanced set of procedures to scan the file. The software has a 3-pane display that is easy to navigate and operate. It supports MS Outlook 2007, 2003, 2002, and 2000.


Welp, nobody can say that this particular alleged criminal didn't take advantage of an opportunity. KSAT in Texas reports on the story of a 19-year-old who showed up late for his first day of work at a McDonald's, and was subequently sent home. While he was waiting for his ride, says KSAT, he asked a lot of questions about security cameras and protocol related to robberies.
After getting picked up by his twin brother, the two then headed to a nearby McDonald's, where the still-uniformed tardy employee walked right in, saying he was sent from another branch to help. When a manager requested that he fill out some paperwork, he pulled out a handgun, according to court documents, and robbed the store safe of $1,500.
When local McDonald's managers reviewed the security footage, one of them recognized the robber as the worker who had been sent home from the nearby branch. Turns out his brother was a five-year McDonald's employee as well. The police then tracked the duo's car, resulting in a car crash, and authorities arrested the two errant McDonald's employees who were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, evading arrest, assault causing bodily injury, and aggravated robbery.

Wings over Darfur
December 2006 | by Emma Stewart
The humanitarian crisis in Darfur has affected millions of people. Many have died through the war and its consequences. Disease and starvation are rife. Since 2003, two million people have fled the region. Many seek refuge in displaced people's camps in neighbouring Chad; others make their homes elsewhere in Sudan.
Christian relief organisation Safe Harbor is working in the village of Nyinbuli, 100 miles from the border between southern Sudan and the Darfur region. There has been an influx of refugees to this small village.
When 10-year-old Fajah came to the clinic needing extensive treatment, the team called Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) to fly her to hospital.
Fajah is one among many who has suffered through the chaos of the conflict. When she was eight she contracted malaria. She was given an injection at a local clinic in Darfur, but the needle was dirty and she developed osteomyelitis – a bone infection – in her leg.
Fajah's family had taken her to several clinics for treatment but no one was able to help. Finally they brought her to the Safe Harbor clinic in Nyinbuli. Since the clinic is still in its early stages, and the treatment Fajah needed was extensive, the team knew there was not much they could do.
Prayer answered
They prayed that God would enable them to transport the little girl to the Samaritan's Purse hospital further south where she could receive the medical care she needed. Their prayers were answered when they contacted MAF and requested help.
Pilot Derek Reeh flew Fajah to hospital, where she spent three weeks receiving treatment. This cleared up the infection and she was able to return to Nyinbuli. The Safe Harbor team supplied her with a shoe lift because the infection had left one leg an inch shorter than the other.
'We are encouraged by the time we have spent with Fajah and her family. We have also been able to share the love of Jesus with them', says Charity Lanman from Safe Harbor. The family returned to Darfur for the harvest season but will come back to Nyinbuli in October, where Fajah will receive physiotherapy at the clinic.
Mission Aviation Fellowship was formed in 1945, and is a Christian organisation whose mission is to use light aircraft in developing countries so that people in remote areas can receive the help they need.
With over 130 aircraft flying in more than 30 countries, an MAF plane is taking off or landing every three minutes – bringing physical and spiritual care where flying is not a luxury but a lifeline.
