The Standing Committee on Paralegals has jurisdiction over matters relating to the education, employment, training and effective use of paralegals. Beginning as the Special Committee on Law Assistants for Lawyers in 1968, the Committee was charged with developing, encouraging and increasing the training and utilization of non-lawyer assistants to help lawyers discharge their professional responsibilities more effectively and efficiently. In 1971, the Special Committee on Law Assistants became the Special Committee on Legal Assistants. It was asked to develop standards for accreditation of formal education programs for legal paraprofessionals and to assess their proficiency. In August 1973 the ABA House of Delegates adopted the Guidelines for the Approval of Legal Assistant Education Programs. The House changed the status of the Committee from Special to Standing and officially approved the first eight legal assistant education programs in August 1975.
In the following few years, SCOLA, along with representatives from the National Association of Legal Assistants, the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, the Association of American Law Schools and legal assistant educators worked together to recommend the formation of a commission to oversee the approval process. At the 1978 Annual Meeting the House of Delegates approved the creation of an approval commission to assume responsibility for the approval process. The composition of the Approval Commission has undergone modifications over the years and is currently composed of six attorney members, one general public member, three representatives from the American Association of Paralegal Education, one representative from NALA...the Paralegal Organization, one from the International Practice Management Association and one from the National Federation of Paralegal Associations. The thirteen-member Commission is tasked with the careful and comprehensive evaluation of a paralegal education program and its compliance with the Guidelines for the Approval of Paralegal Education Programs. Commissioners chair site visits, write site visit reports and make recommendations on approval or reapproval to the Standing Committee at bi-annual Commission meetings. There are currently 262 ABA approved paralegal education programs nationwide.
The Mission of the Standing Committee on Paralegals is to improve the delivery of legal services and expand access to justice by 1) establishing ABA standards for the education of paralegals and 2) promoting attorneys' professional, effective and ethical utilization of paralegals.
We are underway on efforts to change the ABA's official definition of paralegal to remove the term "legal assistant," recognizing that we must continue to push forward the professional nomenclature of those who do paralegal work. We are embarking on a study of paralegal utilization, a task that was last taken on 20 years ago, to see how paralegals are making their impact in the profession. We must figure out how to respond to the development of non-lawyer, non-paralegal technicians, like Washington's Limited License Legal Technician, that more and more states are considering. Big changes are afoot, and we look forward to the Standing Committee and the Approval Commission working closely with our constituents to tackle these issues and more.

MEET THE TEAM - Tahleah Maumau
PACIFIC RUNWAY is this month! A huge landmark fashion event that has become THE event on the social calendar for our community and a must see for all Australian fashion connoisseurs, it is truly a spectacle to behold, a fantastic celebration of Pacific creativity and magic ...but it isn't put together by magic... it takes a dedicated and diligent TEAM, under the gentle and strong leadership of Founder Jannike Seiuli. MEET THE TEAM!
"My name is Tahleah Maumau, I am married to a handsome Tongan, we have two children with another on the way and I am the Operations Manager for Pacific Health & Wellness."
2. What is your role at Pacific Runway and how long have you been doing it? "I'm one quarter of our Model Coordinating Team (aka the A team). Our role is to support, direct and manage our models for pre-show workshops, fittings with designers and on show day manage back of house production from beginning to end so the show can go off without a hitch. This will be my fourth year involved with the show, second year as part of the Model Coordinating Team." 3. How did you start at PacRun? "I was already attending the 2016 show when J had needed a few more volunteers, I gave my ticket away and volunteered back of house, I've been involved ever since." 3a. What is your connection to J Seiuli? "I've known J for over 10 years, initially known through friends of friends as well as through church. We came to know each other better over the past few years." 4. What makes Pacific Runway special? It's inclusive, diverse, entertaining, powerfully expressive; all which make it a unique event in the world of fashion. 4a. What makes Pacific origin designers special? "Their creative differences and the same passion and pride for their individual cultures." 4b. How does Pacific Runway help Pacific origin designers? "By providing a safe space to 'run free' with their inspired visions and giving a platform of inclusion in an industry which is traditionally exclusive and isolated within its norms of size, shape, traditional couture and target audience." ***** 5. What makes you good at what you do? "My passion for people, authentic connection and communication. And without question, the backing of a great team. The team works spectacularly as a unit, we compliment each other with each of our strengths." 6. What is the most exciting thing about organizing an event like PacRun? "Seeing how the process and the people involved evolve. From start to end it's a brilliant 'before and after'. The confidence, the unity of the people, creativity, excitement and more than anything the pride you not only see but can feel in the room, it's tangible." 7. What is the hardest thing?? "Time. You're working against the clock to get each designers line and models dressed in almost record time to hit the runway to keep the show on time." ***** 8. What does fashion mean to you? "It's individual, personal and expressive - and for me should be comfortable!" 9. Do you have a signature outfit? "Not really, I dress for comfort. I'd wear jeans and a tee any day of the week paired with a statement piece of sorts to layer or wear bold accessories or a hat." 10. What colour best describes you? "I'd like to say I'm like Skittles - somewhat like the rainbow [Laughs]. Let's say indigo." 11. What are your hobbies? "Holding out all year for Spring and Summer - not sure that counts. Reading, eating, editing." 12. If you could only eat one thing/cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mexican 13. What is your dream destination? Favourite country. Dream destination is Greece. Favourite place, Samoa. ***** 14. Who are your favourite Pacific designers and why? "WeaveRdream: each piece is individually inspired and the intricacy of the work is incredible. Zuber Fiji: Oh the colours! The patterns, and the infusion of woven mats. I loved this line. Tabu: last years colour palette was dark and ominous. I still think about the culotte and blazer set!
This year I'm especially looking forward to seeing Tauivi, Vono, the return of Samson Lee and Aritaua along with the many other designers who have graced the PR Runway in previous years." 15. What about PacRun makes you most proud? "The vision, the mission, the people, the message. For me there's so much power in unity & my view is Pacific Runway creates an atmosphere where segregation doesn't exist - even if for just a few hours. I'm proud to be part and a witness to this type of magic."

Can I give MuseScore to friends or students?
Of course, you may give any of the versions of MuseScore on musescore.org to other people, or share it internally via a server.
What license is MuseScore released under?
Can I use MuseScore commercially?
MuseScore does not impose any ownership or license on your work, whether it's sheet music, exported audio files or the .mscz files themselves. What you make is entirely your own creation and you decide what to do with it.
How do I report something?
We have a thriving community who could help with your problem, or request.
Firstly though, we advise that you complete a search to see if your query has already been asked, or addressed by others. If you cannot find anything, you may post in the forum.
Whilst generally left to those with some knowledge and experience, you may also file established reports in the issue tracker, but please refrain from posting queries there.
Is there is a full version available of MuseScore?
There is no demo, trial or limited version of the open source MuseScore software. There is only one version, which has no limitations and can be downloaded for free from musescore.org.
What is the difference between MuseScore.org and MuseScore.com?
MuseScore.org is home to the open source MuseScore developer and contributor community. Its forum is the ideal place to ask any MuseScore related question.
MuseScore.com is a community site to share your sheet music with your friends via the web and mobile applications. The site has social features such as embedding, commenting, annotating, statistics, groups and it comes with an open API for third party developers. The site offers free accounts, but has a Pro Account for those who want more.
When will the next version of MuseScore be released?
Starting from MuseScore 3, there are rolling releases every 2-4 weeks. Just make sure the Auto update check is enabled.
Why am I getting a message that the MuseScore download could harm my computer?
Some operating systems will, by default, warn you before opening certain files downloaded via the internet.
If you have downloaded MuseScore via the musescore.org or sourceforge.net websites, there is absolutely no risk with installing it on your computer.
Why are some elements not rendered for playback?
MuseScore's primary purpose is producing sheet music to be performed by players.
The current playback facility is provided as an aid and considered a lesser priority, but we do seek to make more elements renderable for future versions.
Why doesn't my MIDI look very good in MuseScore?
MIDI was partly designed and intended for performance/playback purposes - therefore, it does not embody certain characteristics found when reading sheet music.
In the current version 2.0, MuseScore uses more sophisticated algorithms and provides options to ensure your file imports as smoothly as possible to sheet music format.
For import and export of sheet music, MusicXML is strongly recommended instead.
Why isn't MuseScore available for my operating system?
MuseScore strives to support as many operating systems and their versions as possible.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of some, it becomes difficult, or impossible for the third party tools and components MuseScore is dependant upon to support, which in turn means we are unable.
For platforms in which it is possible, it could mean that we are awaiting a maintainer for it. If you are interested in becoming one, please contact us.
Will there be a MuseScore editor for mobile?
Currently, there are no plans for a MuseScore editor on mobile platforms.
Instead, we focus much of our resources on developing the optimal experience for desktop and the MuseScore Player for mobile.

Floyd lived in a house owned by Floyd's revocable trust. But the homeowner's insurance policy was issued to Floyd individually. After Floyd died, a family member was in the house removing personal property and was injured. That injured person sued the Trust and was awarded $100,000. Trustee submitted the award to the insurance company for payment, and the insurance company denied coverage, saying that no one told them that Floyd had died, and their policy was with Floyd, not the Trust.
The Trust was not an insured under a policy issued by Fremont. Fremont therefore was not obligated to provide coverage to the Trust for plaintiffs' judgment and Fremont was entitled to summary disposition of plaintiffs' claims.
With respect to the insurance premiums which were collected for the period after Floyd's death, the COA seems to say that to the extent the acceptance of premiums created any contractual obligations, it would have been a contract with the estate, but the estate is not the trust.
To read Thompson v Fremont Insurance Co., click on the name. The case is unpublished.
The result seems harsh, but assuming it accurately states the law, this case serves as a warning that clients (and perhaps lawyers) need to let the homeowner's insurance company know when they have placed their house in trust. Something to add to the checklist perhaps.

War Chest (Acquire-To-Zendo)
⚔ What Is It Good For, Absolutely Nothing... 2018, 2 or 4 players Complexity: moderate The old general arrived on the heir to the throne's birthday and presented him with a gift: a chest that he claimed contained all the knowledge he would need in order to rule. Inside was a set of coins and some instructions... Let's See It In Action In War Chest , you and your opponent will square off to take control of the field of battle. It can be played one-on-one or two-on-two (for the duration, I will be assuming that it is one-on-one, but the rules don't change all that much if you're playing in teams). Each player has four units under their control, each of which is made up of four or five coins. There are sixteen total in the base game, and the composition of your army can be predetermined--the rulebook contains a recommended first game setup, as well as setups designed to evoke specific historical battles--or decided via snake draft. Each unit is unique, having either a spe
Tsuro (Acquire-To-Zendo)
🚶🏻♀ The Long And Winding Road... 2004, 2-8 players Complexity: light Tsuro is another instance of what's referred to as a "filler" game--something to kill time between bigger games while other tables finish up. It plays in about fifteen minutes and doesn't require a whole lot of brain space, but it's still fun and challenging in its own way. Let's See It In Action In Tsuro , you and one to seven friends will take turns laying out the path ahead of you, trying to make it last as long as possible, and managing how it effects the other people you run across. So... a metaphor for life. The game is played on a 6x6 grid. Each player starts at the edge of the board in the position of their choosing. On your turn, you place a tile from your hand in front of you and then follow the path until it runs out. If your tile advances you onto another tile that's already in play, you keep following the path. If you run off the edge of the board, you're out. Tiles
Tiny Towns (Acquire-To-Zendo)
🐰 They're Furry, They're Funny... 2019, 1-6 players Complexity: moderate You are the mayor of a town of small woodland creatures, and you've found a patch of land to develop. Now it's up to you to turn it into a bountiful little burg that is safe from predators. Let's See It In Action In Tiny Towns , you and up to five friends will take turns naming resources and using them to flesh out the 4x4 grid in front of you. Each player will take a turn as the Master Builder. That player calls out a resource and each player must take a cube of that color and place it on their board. You must place it, and you cannot move it once it has been placed. Each player may then build--taking cubes from their board and replacing them with a building whose pattern they have matched. "Matching" is loose--the arrangement on your board can be rotated or mirrored from what's on the card and still count. The newly-placed building only takes up one space, so building things fr
Ticket To Ride (Acquire-To-Zendo)
🚂 And She Don't Care... 2004, 2-5 players Complexity: light/moderate Ticket To Ride is one of the games at the vanguard of the modern gaming renaissance. It's a wildly popular eurostyle game that is easily accessible to both children and adults. And it's about trains, so it's automatically populate with the old-man/little-boy set. Let's See It In Action In Ticket To Ride , you and one-to-four friends are developers building railroad lines during the US railway expansion boom. Each player gets 45 trains in their color, two to three tickets to try and fulfill, and a hand of train cards. On your turn, you take one action. Your first option is to take cards. There is a row of five cards, and you can take two of them--although if you take a wild card, that is the only one you can take. For either of your card draws, you can choose to take a card blindly from the top of the deck. Cards in the row are immediately replaced, and if there are ever three or more wilds in tha

The Department of Veterinary Anatomy was the first to be created one of the six departments that were originally set up to start the Veterinary College in July, 1986 and the Master Programme was started in 1992-93. Eight students so far completed their M.V.Sc. degree. The PhD Programme was started in 2004 and five students have completed the PhD Programme in the Department till date. The Department has all the basic facilities for the undergraduate teaching.
In addition to the teaching mandate the department worked on the Gross Anatomy, Histology, Histochemistry including postnatal development of the female genital system of Gaddi sheep and goat have been conducted. Seasonal changes during different phases of estrus cycle and senility have also been worked out. The Hypothalamo-hypophysio-Gonadal axis of these two animals has also been studied in detail. The heart musculature of buffalo and goat was studied by macerating the heart with dilute acid. The heart musculature of auricles and ventricles, showed "common" and "special" fibres in both the species.
Research on yak established the vertebral formula of the animal to be C7 T14 L5 S6 Cy15 with 14 pairs ribs; Gross anatomy of diaphragm, its venous drainage, and nervous system was studied to facilitate surgery. Gross anatomy of various bone, joints and ligaments of yak was also studied and compared with other bovines- Visceral organs of digestive, respiratory, urinary and genital system were also studied. Research work on Spiti pony included the topographic anatomical description of the major splanchnic organs (lungs, digestive tube, spleen, thyroid and kidneys) reported in the form of a text atlas. Gross biometrical parameters of the different organs of female genital system (ovary, oviduct, uterus etc) of spiti pony were also reported.
Some rare developmental anomalies have been recorded in the domestic animals. A buffalo calf was found to be born with brain agenesis. In horses also certain anomalies have been detected. There was loss of teeth in upper jaw along with con-comitent increase in the size of lower cheek tooth in the opposite jaw. This enlarged tooth extended into the gap present in the opposite jaw. Similarly another variation was observed in the arterial blood supply to the thoracic wall of a buffalo calf. Generally one intercostal artery supplied one intercostal space. But in the buffalo calf under reference some intercostal arteries supplied one intercostal space. But in buffalo calf under reference some intercostal arteries supplied two intercostal spaces. A buffalo calf with 14 pair of ribs was also reported.
As a part of the research work on wild animals, the tongue of big cat and small cat and pattern of the distribution of the papillae on its (tongue) was studied .The anatomy of structure of head region of wild cat have been recorded. Gross morphological features of civet cat and porcupines have also been documented and special features of integuments with reference to biomechanical adaptations in relation to its habit and habitat have been elucidated.
Research work on the museum techniques showed that glycerin, a costly chemical, used generally for display of specimens can be substituted with cheaper and easily available materials like rectified spirit and 10% formalin. It was also found that water-resistant colors like fabric paints (Fevicry® can be used to paint various body structures like glands, arteries, ligaments etc. in wet specimens. Structures painted with fabric colors in the department retained their original colors for more than 5 years without fading.
The commercial herbal drugs (Himax® and Teeburb® proved quite effective in healing of the cutaneous wound when used in combination and proved to be cheaper compared to other proprietary preparations. Studies on saliva, turmeric and Neem were also conducted and the efficacy of Neem oil, in paraffin paste (50:50) was found most effective.
Studies on the Gross Anatomy, Histology, and Histochemistry of the intestine of Gaddi sheep were completed and all the components present were recorded.
The research work was carried out on the organs of the male genital system (Testis, epididymis, vas deferens, accessory sex glands, viz., ampulla of the vas deferens seminal vesicles, prostate gland and bulb urethral glands) and the pineal gland of 24 Gaddi goats and 24 Gaddi sheep. The animals were those, from the local slaughter houses, who were apparently healthy. Six animals of each species were used in spring (March to May), summer (June to August), autumn (September to November) and winter (December to February) seasons of the year. Study revealed that the autumn is the best breeding season in Gaddi sheep and Gaddi goat.

Help wanted: 1,500 volunteers needed for NFL Draft
by: Emily Proud
Posted: Apr 2, 2019 / 03:26 PM MDT / Updated: Apr 2, 2019 / 03:26 PM MDT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — With hundreds of thousands of fans expected to embark on the Music City for the NFL Draft, Nashville needs help and lots of it.
So, they're drafting 1,500 volunteers.
To sign up, you must be 18 years or older and sign up for at least two shifts during the 3-day period.
There is also an hour and a half training session the Tuesday before the draft at Nissan Stadium. You can pick between two sessions – from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
It's a small price to pay to be a part of something unprecedented in Nashville.
"I think it's being a part of something in the history of Nashville," said Nashville Sports Council President and CEO Scott Ramsey. "It's the first time ever we've had the NFL draft or an event of that magnitude here so the chance to come down and be a part of it and just like a lot of our events we'll have the marathon in the same weekend, our volunteers are really the face of Nashville. Come be a part of it. Think it's going to be a historic weekend from a lot of blending of elements in our city and certainly it'll be something people will be proud to be a part of and we need your help."
It will be a busy weekend in Nashville, as it's also the 20th anniversary of the Music City Marathon. The race will need 1,800 volunteers.
Ramsey said the city has never asked for this many volunteers on a single weekend.
"Certainly, the overlay of the weekend has created a little bit of a challenge, but we've had a great response. We're still in need of some folks so if you've got some time and you want to come down and be a part of it, I think people that volunteer will have a memory that will hopefully be a great positive one for a lot of years."

Cowboys fire defensive coordinator Mike Nolan
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys have fired defensive coordinator Mike Nolan after their defense allowed a franchise record in points and finished 31st in the NFL against the run in his only season. Coach Mike McCarthy hired Nolan from New Orleans, where he was coaching linebackers, when McCarthy replaced Jason Garrett a year ago. The Cowboys tried to implement a new scheme despite having no in-person time with players during the offseason because of the coronavirus pandemic. Dallas also fired defensive line coach Jim Tomsula. Nolan and Tomsula are both former head coaches with San Francisco.

Elhadj As Sy is secretary-general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
The Boao Forum for Asia and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday, pledging intensified partnerships to promote universal health coverage and wellbeing.
"The signing of the memorandum marks a new level of partnership between the two sides, which share much in common in promoting global health," Li Baodong, secretary-general of the forum, said during the signing ceremony, which was held during the ongoing Global Health Forum of Boao Forum for Asia in Qingdao, Shandong province.
The two sides will work together to carry out a series of projects in areas including disease prevention and reducing health risks, he said.
Elhadj As Sy, secretary-general of IFRC, said that through the partnership IFRC can leverage its advantage in its extensive global network, including in the Asia-Pacific region, to help promote health at the grassroots level.
The federation has 120,000 local branches in 38 countries in Asia-Pacific countries, with nine million volunteers in the region, he said.
In an interview with China Daily on Monday, Sy said China has been contributing more to the global humanitarian efforts, including health assistance, over the past decade.
In a recent effort, The Red Cross Society of China donated $200,000 through IFRC to Venezuela to supply medicine that it badly needs, he said.
China has also been helping fight the ongoing Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including sending medical teams to west Africa, to help contain Ebola, Sy said.
The RCSC has been partnering with many countries, including supporting blood safety programs in Pakistan, providing treatment to children with congenital heart disease in Afghanistan, deploying field and mobile hospitals in Syria and Iraq, and partnering on disaster management in Mongolia, he said.
Sy also said all countries need to intensify efforts to help people in need of humanitarian assistance.
"We have more natural disasters than ever before. They are more frequent, and they are more severe. We also have many conflicts that are man-made," he said. "The multitude of the needs in those countries are so big we also have to bring all the efforts, including the ones of the RCSC and the ones of the IFRC and all humanitarian organizations to a proper scale."

How To Announce An Engagement on Facebook
Now, don't get me wrong- I'm not one of those chicks who hates on Zooey Deschanel. I've actually always really liked Zooey Deschanel- she's funny, her clothes are nice, she has really pretty hair, and despite all the crap that is thrown her way for playing girly characters (which, I have to point out, are invariably written by MEN), she doesn't seem to give a flying.
Her website, Hello Giggles, however, is a different matter. It's too cutesy and anodyne to really offend, but I remember reading once in an interview that Zooey had decided that no snarkiness was allowed. Fair enough, I thought, but this is clearly not the website for me. I love the snark. Sometimes I don't think Gawker is bitchy enough. Sometimes Vice aims too high.
Nonetheless, I still 'like' Hello Giggles on Facebook. and occasionally something mildly interesting will pop up. Yesterday, for instance, an article entitled 'How To Announce An Engagement on Facebook Like a Boss' appeared, and, being neither engaged nor labouring under the impression that I am about to become engaged soon, I naturally clicked on it while my long term boyfriend was out the room/playing Candy Crunch, a stupid game which he appears to be getting bored of because on Friday he described it as 'tedious, like a menial job' *spot the millennial guys*
Well, a girl can dream (and boy, DO I!)
I'll admit that, from time to time, like the bad little feminist bitch that I am, I do fantasise about getting married. Yes, I do sort of have a dress picked out, because a six grand Temperley is not something you can just pick up off the hoof, you need to save for that shit (I'm not saving for that shit), and I like watching 'Don't Tell the Bride' with my boyfriend because he can be even more unpleasant about other people's weddings than I can (what is that dress? THAT is disgusting! etc. etc). But really, for me, the best thing about getting married is surely the being married part? And so obvi the best thing about getting engaged must be the being engaged part, amiright?
No, I'm not right. I'm wrong. The best part about getting engaged is ANNOUNCING TO YOUR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK THAT YOU GOT ENGAGED.
I read the article, which gives a step-by-step guide to how to announce your engagement on Facebook 'like a boss', with disbelief, until I realised (from the comments) that it was supposed to be satire. I have to admit I felt relieved, just because the whole thing seemed so calculating and I was struggling to process the notion that a person could be that lame-ass while simultaneously so lacking in self-awareness, but then I haven't really been on Facebook properly in a while either. I guess this is where the 'no snark' rule kind of comes back to bite you in the ass, because since when did anyone hear something hilarious described as 'gentle, kindly satire'? Yeah, that's because it doesn't exist.
Anyway, the article's writer describes the long tedious process by which her Facebook friends announce their engagements. It starts with a slow build up- an announcement only to family and friends which naturally results in a few cryptic wall posts along the lines of 'omg I'm sooooo happy for you' (I have seen this done, but not since about 2006.)
THEN upload a photo taken directly before the proposal, of you guys in a balloon or somesuch. Wait a bit longer. Make smug announcement. Start instagramming and posting about your diet, then, when all the fuss dies down, do an engagement photo shoot.
At this point I started wondering if all this was an American thing, because surely no British person, trained as we are to perceive our own happiness as a threat to the wellbeing and tolerance of others, could be that big of an arsehole online? (If your Facebook friends ARE arseholes this big, please feel free to disabuse me of this notion in the comments section). As far as engagement announcements are concerned, all I've seen is a change in relationship status, or perhaps an 'I'm engaged LOL' from the more slutty/feminist of my acquaintances. It's still fairly smug but nowhere near the levels I'm being led to believe exist by Hello Giggles.
I mean, an engagement photo shoot? Really?
So, for all those sister friends who feel like they might be teetering on the precipice of social media smugness, I thought I'd answer the question once and for all.
Question: How do you go about announcing your engagement on Facebook like a boss?
Answer: You don't.
…you just wait til the day itself and upload a single, classy photo of you in a dress, thus sharing the good news with friends and family while simultaneously saying a big "FUCK YOU" to all those people who assumed they would be invited to the wedding.
That's how my lot seem to be doing it, anyway. But then maybe I'm just far too snarky.

Atana says:
This is akin to one of the worst fb sins – posting stupidly soppy messages on your lover / boyfriend / girlfriend / spouse's wall, or indeed, putting things like "couldn't do it without that special someone!" or "is so lucky to have such a wonderful boyfriend! (and tagging said partner) in your own status. Vom. GET A ROOM!
Jajderian says:
"…trained as we are to perceive our own happiness as a threat to the wellbeing and tolerance of others" LOVE THIS. Facebook is not for happiness, it is for pictures of sandwiches (appaz)
Rainbowmouse says:
I've seen at least two engagement photo shoots in the UK. They're as bad as you'd imagine.
Beki says:
Sadly I have seen this… someone I'm friends with on facebook went all out with the engagement photoshoot thing and counted down the wedding on facebook 'Can't wait to marry my prince in a month' etc. Bleurgh! I think even if one of my currently engaged best friends, about whose weddings I am genuinely excited and whose happiness I actually care about had done it, I would still have been sick in my mouth.
Who knows though, maybe when I get engaged I'll have a sudden change of heart and it'll be 'OMG I'm going to be with my Prince Charming forever xoxo' above a soft-focus professional photo of me and my boyfriend embracing in our underwear, with me holding a rose towards the camera so you get lens flare off the engagement ring
Zahrah Al-Bejawi says:
Definitely not just an American thing, unfortunately. My news feed is full of disembodied hands wearing new sparkly rings, announcement pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower, countdowns… Once there was even a photo which captured the moment of the engagement, complete with tears and shocked expression (how did they even pull that off?). Glad you're happy and all but it's all getting very boring, especially for someone who has exactly no interest in weddings.
Lucinda Periac says:
Me and my bf (not engaged, not intending to get engaged – I assume? – and certainly not intending to announce it on facebook) were sat drinking canned GnTs in our local country park of a sunny summer eve earlier this year (it's the, like, grown up middle class way to drink in the suburban park and relive your youth I tell you), only to be set upon by a smug couple and their photographer, carrying out the ENGAGEMENT PHOTO SHOOT. We spent about 10 minutes wondering WTF was going on and craning our necks in a befuddled manner over the brow of the hill before realising what it was. We then totes ruined their faux-romantic moment by cracking up in peels of laughter and me shouting in my bawdy northern accent "promise me we will NEVER do that?", which I think was actually far more romantic than the fake-romantic moment the photographer had arranged. Bride to be didn't look best pleased with me though.

The Internet isn't the problem, the loss of the "story" is…. Freelancers and Media Business Models….
A few days ago, Andrew Stafford posted one hell of an interesting article on Mumbrella about freelance journalists and other content producers not getting paid for the material that they produce, by various media outlets. Needless to say, it was fiery and gave me the general feeling that a river of blood had been created during its production, purely from the frustration of seeing hours of work being all for naught time after time, with only the hint of "exposure" being given as potential remuneration.

But why stop there? While I admit that it would be fun to grill both Crikey and MamaMia amongst others in-depth like Andrew has over their policies towards the remuneration of bloggers and various freelancers for their time, perhaps the way that some parts of the media treat casual employees (and how freelancers often view themselves and their work) can help explain why so many media companies worldwide are in the dismal states that they find themselves in. As fanciful as this might sound, it's a thought worth pursuing given some discussions that I've had with some Human Relations experts over the past few days.
During one such discussion, I had one of the aforementioned experts explain to me the intricacies of the "Personal Advertisement" and the impact that it can have on the way that people are not only viewed by others, but how they view themselves. As simple as it sounds, the way that somebody (such as a freelance journalist) communicates with others either within their CV, story pitches or the first 30 seconds of encountering them in a public setting, can be the difference in whether they get work awarded to them or not. Consequentially she said, if we don't value ourselves as people and wear a uniform of confidence and honesty when we meet new people, then it will be impossible for them to trust and freely desire to engage financially with us. Needless to say, that kind of got me wondering if the same thing could be said about the media industry as a whole, which would in turn explain why some media companies are thriving, while others are in dire financial trouble.

Now on reflection, I'm not the only person who thinks in this particular manner about the media industry, the internet and content as a whole, as evidenced by a comment that acclaimed Indian journalist MJ Akbar made during the Walkley Foundation's annual "Storyology" conference earlier this year. This comment was made during the start of his address during the "Beneath The Surface – Nuance and Diversity" panel on "Stories from the Asian Century" and encapsulated the difficulties that numerous media organisations are currently facing worldwide. Namely:
Technology has been changing ever since we discovered the Papyrus…… The Internet isn't the problem, the loss of the "story" is.
While this admittedly isn't his full quote, it adequately conveys the analysis that Mr Akbar made at the start of his presentation. In essence, by loosing touch with our own story, our "Personal Advertisement" with our audience, we've done more damage to ourselves than technology ever could, solely because the public no longer has confidence in who we are. Furthermore, by loosing touch with the story of our own industry, we've decreased our ability to customise our storytelling and adapt to changes from within our local communities, which are two specialities that freelance journalists often thrive in.
Take Fairfax Media for example.
Fairfax Metropolitan and Financial mastheads – Photo courtesy of ABC News Online: Michael Janda
Now as grand a company as Fairfax is, there's next to nothing that's publicly visible that aptly describes the organisational ethos that drives the company forward as a unique institution. Between Fairfax's Radio, Metropolitan and Rural Press departments, it's almost as if the company has undergone an identity crisis as it has gradually become a corporate behemoth over the course of the past 40 years or so. Consequentially, if you were to ask Fairfax's board and these individual departments to point out things that make them say "I'm Fairfax and this is what I stand for", you'd undoubtedly come up with a dog's breakfast when it comes down to how the organisation views itself as an entity. This is a major problem when it comes to product appeal and what's more, the public knows this. So with that chaotic information in mind, who in their right mind would purchase a paper or an online subscription every day from a media organisation that doesn't know who it collectively is, with the same going for potential advertisers? As much as this might scare Chris Kenny at The Australian, sometimes "Group Think" can have its uses in the corporate world.
But while some people would lump the blame for Fairfax's slow demise squarely at the feet of the journalists who produce the content for Fairfax's various networks, the cause and solution to this problem lies with both the Board and the organisation as a whole. Fairfax needs to decide both who and what it is as a media organisation, and it needs to focus on quality control during it's implementation as well. If it can draw a line in the sand and re-organise itself in a manner that uniformly promotes a relationship of confidence and trust with its readership, then Fairfax needs to do it in order to not only survive, but thrive. That's even if it means de-merging parts of the organisation from Fairfax as a whole so that they can focus independently on their strengths, while maintaining content partnerships that syndicate specialist content at a mutually beneficial rate. Other industries utilise such systems all the time, so its time that we learned from them.
Furthermore, everyone within the media industry has got to realise that as long as we continue to say that newspapers and other media companies are in a state of decline, that this is the only way that the public, advertisers and various investors will see us, even though audience statistics and other niche market information shows us otherwise. Between both online and print, many mast-heads are receiving more viewers than at any other time in their history, while others such as Black Inc's Quarterly Essay have shown that print can still be a profitable journalistic medium in its own right when it's utilised in niche markets. In order to capitalise on this opportunity, we need to change our collective mentality within the industry to recognise the fact that Freelancers (alongside salary-based journalists) can be a source of the strong content that our individual markets desire, and that they shouldn't be treated as a discardable resource. If we can accomplish that, then the public and advertises alike will have one less reason to doubt the value and integrity of the products that we are trying to sell.

Such change isn't as impossible as it may sound, given the events surrounding the purchase of "The Boston Globe" by John W. Henry earlier this year. In a rousing editorial last month, Mr Henry spelled out his reasons for investing in the Boston Globe and the plan that he has for the masthead during his "stewardship" of it going into the future. While the plan that Mr Henry stated was extremely detailed, it was also innovative in the simplicity of its value-adding agenda, which can be utilised as a template for other media organisations going forward. This in turn can make freelance journalists and other content producers extremely useful going forward. As Mr Henry states:
TV didn't put an end to movies or radio despite predictions to the contrary. And the free availability of news and classifieds will not put an end to newspapers. Newspapers are going to compete against an avalanche of information that should make reliability, trust, and hard work that much more valuable for audiences. Nevertheless, until revenues stabilize, newspaper resources will need to be allocated carefully, to build and sustain the economic foundations necessary to carry out the journalistic mission.
I feel strongly that newspapers and their news sites are going to rely upon the support of subscribers to a large extent in order to provide what readers want. It is a newspaper's responsibility to create enough value to cause readers to subscribe to their services and advertisers to advertise. The Globe must continue to be the best vehicle for businesses to reach customers in the region. But to do so, it must maintain the kind of strong content that Boston Globe readers demand.
When you truly think about it, these are some pretty apt observations that stand up to scrutiny when analysed in an impartial light. As evidenced by a study recently conducted by Pew Research, newspapers and other media platforms that have strong and visionary leadership, possess a sustained willingness to change internal culture and insist on high quality content have shown a greater propensity for revenue growth and circulation stability, than other organisations that have continued to exclusively attempt to cut costs by downsizing publications, selling off assets and offering redundancy packages. Needless to say, both freelance and salaried journalists are in a better position to guarantee these resources rather than contributors solely being offered exposure, as they have an economic incentive to keep the quality of their content at sustainably high levels.
"Studio A" – TuneFM – University of New England
Now that said, a lot of people are probably wondering how I know so much about identity crises and the importance of change agents not only within industries, but people's lives as well. Given the tumultuous disruptances that the media industry has endured over recent years, not to mention the fact that a lot of high-standing media professionals have advised people to be wary of those who make predictions in regards to the future of the industry, these are reasonable questions that deserve honest answers. The simple answer is though, as both a young Transsexual woman and a former Operations Manager who was heavily responsible for a university radio station relocation project that cost over $600,000, these are all challenges that I've faced before. While I won't pretend to know the future, I do know that by methodically analysing the individual situations that we find ourselves in and making the hard and unavoidable decisions when they are necessary, we can create new and profitable business models going forward.
By utilising all of the resources that we have at hand responsibly, whether they be freelancers or permanent staff, we can ensure the integrity, value and sustainability of our industry both now and into the future. We just need to start collectively believing in ourselves and our abilities again.

Very salient piece — I highly agree with your thesis.

Thanks Renai.
The thirst for content is greater than ever across the vast majority of markets. There's opportunities out there waiting to be discovered, if we are still willing to look for them.

I bought this car for a swap but its going to need more love than I can give at this moment.
The interior is rough. I wouldn't count on any upholstered items being usable without significant reconditioning. Body panels are straight and in good condition.
I will update the list as items are sold.
If you have a request please send me a PM along with what you are willing to pay for the item.
The car/parts are located in Waterloo, Ontario.

do you have the ashtray?
and if so, what kind of shape is it in?
How many miles on car and are the Front/Rear Control Arm available?
Also if tires are still on car any camber wear showing as could grab struts as well?
There's 104k miles on it.
Tires are shot, control arms are good and the struts are good too.
Lots of parts still available!
What colour is the interior? Any chance you got a drivers side visor in black with the mirror cover in tact?
pass side lighted sun visor?
I am interested in a plastic shoehorn base with the shift boot , if it has 4 mount tabs unbroken. No knob or boot needed, they look worn out anyway.
Yeah the shifter is gross.
The part is what holds the boot on center console. Ply it out upward and you know.
Are the struts original ?
Do you still have the storage cubby for the dash? Passenger sun visor and/or flap?
All shipped to Vancouver Area BC. Let me know. Thanks.
Are the head lights available? what condition are they in?
Is the steering wheel still available ?


Just an artist, IT professional and Business Developer! Making my dreams a reality as I breath life into my comic book universe, SoveReign Comics (The SoVerse). This is, as probably will continue to be, one hell of a (bumpy?) ride.
So, if you like...join me!
So, I have been gone from my Deviant Art account...for A LONG TIME. I'm not even sure if I still have the same friends on here as before, LOL.
My absence hasn't been all bad, and not all good either, if that makes sense.
So a quick catch up!
I think since my last actual post, I am fully out of the military now (13 years in, glad to be done).
My career in IT has been going great! Can't complain in the least.
I have finished my Bachelors in Business Administration with a concentration on Business Development and now I'm working on my MBA in Marketing.
I have completed about 4 titles/5 comics in my comic book universe, LOL. Yea, that hasn't stopped in the least bit. So, Cypher Team, is a reality now, as well as Ayanmo Stigmata, Orisha EXOS and STARS. Soon to follow will be TEMPLE High, once Cypher Team i02 has been finished. Also, I am kicking off the highly anticipated SoveReign BLAVK...something that I have had in the works for a little over a year now, with its first title Omen...which is also in the works.
SO, where have I been? Instagram (Instagram.com/sovereigncomics)! I've been posting weekly, sometimes daily, up there because I have found it a lot easier to post. Between posting to IG or Twitter and writing stories, inking comics, editing comics, lettering comics and developing characters, as well as the other stuff that I mentioned, I have neglected DA.
I apologize for that and, I will fix that.
I would like to post things that have been going on, I would like to post some of the pages and art work and I'm planning to get into that this week. Maybe make Saturdays my post days for DA. Just a way to keep folks in the know, if still interested...because, SoveReign Comics is making moves. We are on Comixology, Comix Central and have prints (Cypher Team i01 is being restocked and other titles will follow) Its, NOT AT ALL, a failed indie comic book publishing company.
So, in short, we're back and I plan to liven this page up...A LOT!
I have sent a Llama marching your way.

Home » Should We Worry About Ebola? Perhaps Not (Yet)!
August 8, 2014 Bio, Vulnerabilities
Should We Worry About Ebola? Perhaps Not (Yet)!
Pictures like this add to the shock and scare value of the present news about Ebola.
The news seems filled with stories about Ebola currently. On Thursday the CDC issued its highest level alert, something it has only done twice before. Today, WHO did the same, declaring it an international health emergency.
Newspaper articles tell horrifying stories about Ebola being 'out of control' and overwhelming the national health systems of countries like Sierra Leone, and of victims being dragged into the streets and being left there to rot in Liberia.
On the face of it, this is all alarming and concerning. And, as preppers, we are of course always looking for such signs of pending problems. But, if we scratch the surface of the Ebola hysteria, a different type of truth appears.
The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa has resulted in less than 1000 deaths over the course of six months (although this number is steadily increasing). How many other diseases, in Africa and elsewhere in the world, have killed more than 1000 people in the last six months? What makes Ebola so special as to get the CDC and WHO both giving it highest priority, and why does Ebola fill the pages of newspapers at present?
To put this number in perspective, in a typical flu season in the US alone, somewhere over 200,000 are hospitalized and up to 50,000 people die. Yes, up to 50,000 people die of flu every year in the US, but the death of 1000 Ebola sufferers in West Africa now has the US CDC giving Ebola a higher priority status than flu (and a higher priority status than cancer, Aids, and everything else). This really makes no sense.
Ebola surely doesn't deserve this status because of its 'rapid' spread. 1000 people in six months is slow compared to true worst-case scenarios that have occurred in the past. It also isn't because of its implacable mortality rate. Even with the worst of healthcare facilities in West Africa, it seems that somewhere between 25% and 40% of patients are surviving.
It also isn't because it jumps from person to person like wildfire. At present it seems that the virus is only spread through contact, not coughing. The CDC say that an infected person can be treated in a regular private hospital room.
Has political correctness now invaded our healthcare system as well as everything else? We are forced to conclude that this is indeed the case.
Now, don't get us wrong. Ebola is a spectacularly nasty disease, and having two-thirds of the people who get an Ebola infection die is a terrible outcome. It is also true that currently there are no preventative vaccines, and no specific treatments for if/when a person does get an Ebola infection, but work is underway on new treatments and even on vaccines too.
It is also true that our society is more at risk of a global pandemic than ever before. A person can be infected on one side of the world today, and then travel to the other side of the world tomorrow. You may have heard the comment about how everyone in the world is no more than six people away from knowing anyone else, and indeed more recent studies suggest we are now more like only five people away from anyone else – that degree of contact applies to spreading disease, too.
In particular, it takes somewhere from two days to three weeks for an Ebola infection to become apparent in a person, allowing lots of time for that person to travel from somewhere to somewhere else, and the rudimentary type of health screening of arriving passengers at airports around the world will not detect Ebola during this incubation period.
The good news part of the Ebola incubation period is that a person only starts spreading the Ebola infection when they become symptomatic. So we only have to be concerned about the few days between when a person starts feeling ill and coughing, etc, and when they are hospitalized and diagnosed with Ebola.
What Should Preppers Do
There's precious little we can currently do about Ebola. But you should definitely keep a watching brief on the Ebola news, and understand if the outbreak starts to spread outside of West Africa. The CDC website is a good source of regularly updated information.
It is also helpful – if you haven't done this already – to plan and prepare for how you could continue to work, without needing to be physically present at your place of employment. For some people, this will be impossible, but if you are an office worker, shuffling papers (more likely, electronically moving computer data these days) or a phone representative, maybe you can spend much of each working day doing your tasks remotely from home.
Your employer should be considering this too. In the event of a pandemic, the business will be at risk as much as you will personally be at risk, and both your survival and the business' survival might depend on it being able to fragment and 'virtualize' with people working other than in one central office.
Beyond that, you should keep your supplies well stocked. Disruptions to the food chain are almost inevitable if society gets crippled by a broad pandemic. You should also keep your medical locker and protective gear fully provisioned too, so that if someone in your group gets afflicted, they can be cared for without endangering the rest of your community.
It is almost certain that one of the first failures in a future pandemic will be our hospitals and healthcare system. Currently there are just over 900,000 hospital beds in the US – one for every 400 or so people. But many of these beds are in use every day, so the number of available vacant beds is very much less.
Something that only affects as few as 0.25% of the population would overwhelm the healthcare system – and even if there were available beds, would there be available nurses and doctors? Even if there were both beds and staff available, would there be available healthcare supplies?
Particularly with some type of virus for which there is no cure, there may be no benefit in being hospitalized, even if it is possible, and especially if you can provide competent palliative care at home.
If any sort of pandemic does start attacking our cities, you need to minimize your contact with other people as much as possible. Try to keep away from all public places, and if you need to go to do shopping, do so in off-hours when the stores are likely to be nearly empty.
One more thing. Your biggest risk of infection is by touching some other contaminated surface (what is called a 'fomite' in medical terminology). Be sure to regularly wash your hands, and try to develop an awareness of the surfaces you are coming in contact with. The next time you push open the door in front of you, wonder how many other people have touched the same door handle that you have. A virus might survive some days on the surface of that handle. That's not to say you can't safely touch the handle (assuming no cuts in your skin) but it is to say that you need to use hand cleanser or something on your hands on a regular basis – not just prior to eating food, but on an ongoing basis.
Think this through. You touch the infected surface and your hand gets some virus infection on it. You then touch your car steering wheel five minutes later, and transfer the virus to your steering wheel. You step out of the car, and several hours later, someone else gets into the car, and also touches the steering wheel. Your 'safe' seeming steering wheel has now infected someone else.
We do not see any cause for undue alarm about Ebola today. We don't know what the future holds, but as of today, and other than the general preparations we mention above, there's nothing any of us need to do except remain alert.
In broader terms, we rate it unlikely that Ebola will become an actual threat to our society. But we do consider the wider risk of some type of pandemic to be credible and concerning. We have written several other articles on this topic, which you can see here.

Third murder charge filed in South Dakota slayings
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A New York man already charged with a double murder in a South Dakota city last August is now charged with a third homicide in that state.
A Pennington County grand jury has indicted Arnson Absolu on a first-degree murder charge in the death of 22-year-old Dakota Zaiser. His body was found in some woods near Rapid City about a month after two people were found shot to death in a park in that city on Aug. 24.
Charles Red Willow, a 26-year-old from Rapid City, and Ashley Nagy, a 29-year-old from Greeley, Colorado, were found dead from multiple bullet wounds inside a car at the park.
Police had suspected the person who killed the two also killed Zaiser.
Absolu, 36, was arrested in New York in September. He is in custody in the Bronx with his next court date set for Jan. 25, KOTA-TV reported.
Detectives said they believed Zaiser was hanging out with Absolu and may have been in the area during the shooting at Thomson Park. They wanted to speak with Zaiser since he may have witnessed and had information about the park shooting.
Police believe Zaiser was killed hours or days after the double homicide. Police spokesman Brendyn Medina has said all three killings may be related to drugs.

The Turnstone Big Lamp was inspired by the natural human behavior in open, public spaces. While doing observational research, I noticed how people gravitated towards architectural items within the space; such as a wall, planter, column or cafe table with an umbrella. The Big Lamp is the office version of the cafe umbrella. The Big Lamp creates a room within a room that allows a company to drop informal meeting spaces wherever they like. The Big Lamp is a crucial part to the Campfire collection and won the Chicago Anathema Good Design award in 2010.

Domm Selected to Serve asNext Southern Minn President
Steve Domm
Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative (SMBSC) announced April 1 that it has elected Steven J. Domm to become the next president of the co-operative.
Nearly two years ago, Kelvin Thompsen, SMBSC's current president and chief executive officer, announced his plan to transition out of those roles by fall of 2016. Upon receiving that notice, SMBSC began an executive search for a successor. Domm will assume his position as Steve Domm president in June and that of CEO upon Thompsen's departure later this summer.
A native of Wahpeton, N.D., Domm grew up on a small grain and sugar-beet farm. He earned a B.S. in agricultural economics from North Dakota State University.
Domm will join SMBSC from Cooperative Producers Inc. (CPI), Hastings, Neb., where he served as president and CEO since the spring of 2015. CPI is a locally owned cooperative with more than 430 employees. Prior to joining CPI, Domm was general man-ager for 14 years at Central Farmers Cooperative and FREMAR, LLC, in Marion, S.D.
"Steve will be an excellent leader for our cooperative as we continue to maximize the efficiency and quality of all aspects of our operations," said Kyle Petersen, chairman of the SMBSC Board of Directors. "He brings expertise that will ensure we make sound capital investments in and upgrades to our facilities, continue developing strategic partnerships, and lead our industry in innovation, environmental stewardship, training and safety."
Domm has served in various leadership capacities in several associations, including the South Dakota Grain and Feed Association, North Dakota Grain Dealers Association, South Dakota Grain Dealers Association and National Grain and Feed Association, as well as having served as mayor of Colfax, N.D., from 1993 to 2000.
Acknowledging the service of Kelvin Thompsen, with SMBSC since 2002, Petersen said, "We are grateful for Kelvin's many years of exceptional leadership and bold vision. His accomplishments are many in his various roles here: first as vice president of agriculture, then chief operating officer, and finally as president and CEO since January 2009. He has made our cooperative strong, increased value for our shareholders, and set a clear course for our continued success."
