Global metrics overview - all programsEdit
We are trying to understand the overall outcomes of the work being funded across our grantees' programs. Please use the table below to let us know how your programs contributed to the Global Metrics. We understand not all Global Metrics will be relevant for all programs, so feel free to put "0" where necessary. For each program include the following table and
Next to each required metric, list the outcome achieved for all of your programs included in your proposal.
Where necessary, explain the context behind your outcome.
In addition to the Global Metrics as measures of success for your programs, there is another table format in which you may report on any OTHER relevant measures of your programs success
For more information and a sample, see Global Metrics.
OverallEdit
Metric Achieved outcome Explanation
1. # of active editors involved
2. # of new editors
3. # of individuals involved
4. # of new images/media added to Wikimedia articles/pages
5. # of articles added or improved on Wikimedia projects
6. Absolute value of bytes added to or deleted from Wikimedia projects
Telling your program stories - all programsEdit
Please tell the story of each of your programs included in your proposal. This is your chance to tell your story by using any additional metrics (beyond global metrics) that are relevant to your context, beyond the global metrics above. You should be reporting against the targets you set at the beginning of the year throughout the year. We have provided a template here below for you to report against your targets, but you are welcome to include this information in another way. Also, if you decided not to do a program that was included in your proposal or added a program not in the proposal, please explain this change. More resources for storytelling are at the end of this form. Here are some ways to tell your story.
We encourage you to share your successes and failures and what you are learning. Please also share why are these successes, failures, or learnings are important in your context. Reference learning patterns or other documentation.
Make clear connections between your offline activities and online results, as applicable. For example, explain how your education program activities is leading to quality content on Wikipedia.
We encourage you to tell your story in different ways by using videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, e.g.), compelling quotes, and by linking directly to work you produce. You may highlight outcomes, learning, or metrics this way.
We encourage you to continue using dashboards, progress bars, and scorecards that you have used to illustrate your progress in the past, and to report consistently over time.
You are welcome to use the table below to report on any metrics or measures relevant to your program. These may or may not include the global metrics you put in the overview section above. You can also share your progress in another way if you do not find a table like this useful.

ResourcesEdit
Resources to plan for measurementEdit
Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don't stop there.
Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.

Overview of this quarterEdit
Wikimedia Argentina's activities in the past quarter.
The purpose of this section is to provide a brief overview of this report. Please use no more than 1-2 paragraphs to address the questions outlined below. You will have an opportunity to address these questions in detail elsewhere in this report.
CHANGES: Please describe how you changed your plans and budget based on the FDC allocation approved by the Board in December 2012, and your rationale for these changes. You can then use the changed plans and budget as the basis on which to report back on the first quarter.
The DIY scanners project has been postponed to 2013 Q3 and Q4. We were waiting to see more results of the existing projects before allocating more scanners to other institutions. In the next quarter, we will start working in a new scanner for the Cultural Institute of the Buenos Aires Province, as part of the comprehensive agreement signed in May 2013.
Wikimedia Argentina has created a video, with the support of Iberocoop members, to promote the celebrations of the 1,000,000th article on Spanish Wikipedia. The design of the video has been included as part of the Outreach efforts of the chapter.
HIGHLIGHTS: What were 1–2 important highlights of the past quarter? (These may include successes, challenges, lessons learned.)
In our opinion, the Legislative Edit-a-thon is one of our biggest highlights of the quarter. This activity brought the biggest turnout we have seen so far in Buenos Aires for this kind of events, and also, half the audience was formed by new editors to any of Wikimedia's projects. New approaches to an edit-a-thon were implemented succesfully, improving its impact and also gave us new lessons for future activities.
As for the Education Program, we developed several actions (such as workshops and presentations) aimed at secondary students and teachers. This gave us the opportunity to start working with the Department of Education of Buenos Aires Province. On top of that, these actions go across different programs, sometimes taking the best of the education program and the GLAM activities. One example of this actions cross-program is the workshop at the Museum of Memory in Rosario.
WIKI-FOCUS: What Wikimedia projects was your entity focused on (e.g., Wiki Commons, French Wiktionary) this quarter?
We have focused mainly on Spanish Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, the two largest project by number of active volunteers from Argentina.
GROWTH: How did your entity grow over the past quarter vs. the previous quarter (e.g., Number of active editors reached/involved/added, number of articles created, number of events held, number of participants reached through workshops)?
In the second quarter of 2013, Wikimedia Argentina conducted several activities, especially linked to educational activities. More than 200 students assisted to our presentations, more than 50 teachers from different parts of Buenos Aires Province discussed about the opportunities of Wikipedia in the classroom. Also, more than 30 researchers took part in a workshop in Córdoba
We visited 7 cities in the country, including for the first time a city in the Northeast of the country. Also, we had activities in 4 of the 6 largest cities in the country.
We strengthened our relationship with gubernamental instituions. The agreement for an edit-a-thon with the Buenos Aires City Legislature was succesful and there are plans for more projects together in the coming months. We signed a comprehensive agreement with the Cultural Institute of the Buenos Aires Province, including projects with the Direction of Libraries, the Provincial Historical Archive and the Museums Digitazation Program, and we are also working with the Department of Education of the same province.
Financial summaryEdit
The FDC requires information about how your entity received and spent money over the past year. The FDC distributes general funds, so your entity is not required to use funds exactly as outlined in the proposal. While line-item expenses will not be examined, the FDC and movement wants to understand why the entity spent money in the way it did. If variance in budgeted vs. actual is greater than 20%, please provide explanation in more detail. This helps the FDC understand the rationale behind any significant changes. Note that any changes from the Grant proposal, among other things, must be consistent with the WMF mission, must be for charitable purposes as defined in the grant agreement, must be reported to WMF, and must otherwise comply with the grant agreement. The WMF mission is "to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally."

Progress toward this year's goals/objectivesEdit
This section addresses the impact of the programs / initiatives* and objectives your entity has implemented over the past quarter and the progress your entity is making toward meeting this year's goals. We understand that some metrics may not be applicable in this quarterly report, so please add metrics here if they are applicable.
*In the last round, the FDC used the term 'initiative', but this round, we are using the term 'program.'

What are the objectives of this program? Please include metrics.
Aim: To increase participation and adoption of Wikimedia project on Educational environments (mainly secondary and tertiary education).
Metrics: Design of an Education Program for Wikimedia Argentina to face this initiative in a more comprehensive and organic way. Also, number of agreements with institutions, number of events (workshops, lectures) organized, number of participants.
Progress against these objectives (include metrics and # of volunteers/staff involved)?
Education program: stalled.
Agreements: 1 new (Ministry of Education of Buenos Aires Province).
Events: 6 events (3 in Buenos Aires Province, 1 in Córdoba Province and 1 in Santa Fe Province).
Participants: Approx. 50 teachers, 160 students.
Involvement: 1 staff member, 1 Board member, 2 volunteers.
Activities conducted.
We successfully carried out 4 editing workshops in different venues. The first of this quarter, at Escuela Media N 2 in the city of La Plata, capital city of Buenos Aires Province. This activity was developed in the context of joint work with the national program "Conectar Igualdad", that, among other things, provides technology training workshops for teachers to include ITs more and more in classroom activities. This first event was aimed at instructors, and focused mainly on the use of Wikipedia in the classroom.
The second event of this kind was a conference addresed by Patricio Lorente for students the National University of Córdoba, focused on the impact of Wikipedia and its sister projects in the cultural development of a society. This conference was carried out as part of the agreement with the UNC signed the previous quarter.
Two more events were done in secondary schools in San Miguel del Monte and General Belgrano, Buenos Aires Province.
In Rosario (Santa Fe Province), we have a series of activities in a project called Wikimemoria, organized with the Free Faculty of Rosario and the Museum of Memory of that city. During the first day, there was an introduction to Wikipedia to a class of secondary students with Conectar Igualdad netbooks and in the second day, the students visited the Museum of Memory in Rosario and edited some articles related to Argentine contemporary history.
Apart from the main activity, there was also a presentation for old people in the Free Faculty, versed on the age group difficulties to access new technologies and the use of Wikipedia. Also, Wikimedia Argentina participated in the TV show "Juntos a la par", produced by the Argentinean Work Union of Independent Teachers, which was broadcasted in Rosario's regional channel.
What worked and what did not?
The events in the different schools have been very successful. Students and teachers were receptive to the idea of working in Wikipedia as part of their educational activities and most of the usual prejudices about it have vanished. This has opened new perspectives for a more comprehensive work, especially in the Buenos Aires Province, where conversations are being held for an agreement and a project with the Ministry of Education that can bring wikis and Wikipedia to most schools in the province (more than 4.5 million students in total). This project is under development and will probably start as a trial in 2013 Q4.
Although there is a good reception from students and teachers, it is difficult to follow the impact of the presentations after it. We haven't found yet a way to measure how a workshop or a presentation really changes the perspective to become an editor in the short and the mid term. Another thing that hasn't worked is the participation of old people; Wikimemoria was intended to be an activity for students and elderly, but none of the latter appeared at the Museum, so the activity was re-oriented towards the students.
Finally, the design for an Education Program is stalled at the moment because there is no one to drive the discussions and help to reach some concrete conclusions; we expect to resume this conversation in the following months. While, on the one hand, the long term program is stalled, on the other hand, a lot of mid and short term aims, like workshops and presentations, are being held very frequently and our attention is more set to that than the general plan.
GLAM activities
Edit-a-thon at the Legislative Palace.
Galileo Vidoni (President of WM-AR) and Jorge Telerman (President of Buenos Aires Cultural Institute) signign the agreement between both institutions.
Aim: to engage with cultural institutions and promote their cooperation with the Wikimedia communities, encouraging the release of materials under free licenses. To promote editing on Wikipedia, increasing the number of editors, and to strengthen the relationship with existing editors community.
Metrics: Number of colaboration agreements signed, number of activities organized, number of participants attending the events, number of articles edited/photos uploaded.
Agreements: 2 new agreements (Buenos Aires Cultural Institute, former ESMA), 1 in development (General Belgrano).
Activities: 1 edit-a-thon organized, 1 edit-a-thon in progress, 1 presentation.
Participants: 35+ participants in edit-a-thons, 100+ participants in conference.
Media uploaded: Not yet.
Involvement: 2 staff member.
The edit-a-thon at the Buenos Aires City Legislature was carried out on June 29th, after being suspended on April 27th. More than 35 participants were in the activity, most of them working on Wikipedia for the first time. A series of articles in Wikipedia about the history and heritage of this institution were written, using the images donated by the Legislature to Wikimedia Commons. The edit-a-thon was very well received, including some press (for example, La Nación Data and Diario Z), and there are already conversations to upload more files to Commons, including some books digitized by the Esteban Echeverría Library that belongs to the Legislature. Another edit-a-thon will be organized on July 20 in the Space for Memory and Human Rights in the former ESMA, which used to be an illegal detention center during the last dictatorship and is now a memorial place.
On May 16th, Wikimedia Argentina signed a comprehensive agreement with the Cultural Institute of the Buenos Aires Province. This agreement will allow Wikimedia Argentina to work with different cultural institutions. There are already some talks with the Historical Archive of the Province, the Office of Libraries and the Program of Museum Digitalization (PRODIM).
We are working with the Historical Museum of General Belgrano towards an agreement for the publication of photographic material under a free licence, a project with students and a local edit-a-thon.
On June 14th, Wikimedia Argentina participated in the IV Conference of Archives, Museums and Libraries in La Rioja, organized by the National University of La Rioja (UNLaR). The presentation called "From shelves to Wikipedia: How to reach millions of people from our libraries?" highlighted the importance of encouraging local communities in the provinces of Argentina to spread their patrimony. The main objetctive is to break the current paradigm in which knowledge, in the national sphere, is generated in Buenos Aires. It was the first official activity of WM-AR in the Northwest of Argentina.
Our digitization program with other institutions is working and the first results are already available on Wikimedia Commons. The library of the Faculty of Humanities of the National University of La Plata has published several books in Wikimedia Commons, released under a CC licence, making it possible to upload the text also in Wikisource. At the end of June, 25 DjVu files have been uploaded with a total size of more than 550 MB.
Some of the lessons from the first edit-a-thon and Wikimemoria were applied in the second edit-a-thon, making it more successful; some of them were the tutorship in situ of Wikipedians to the new editors, the definition of potential articles for improvement and the presentation of the results to the rest of the participants. Also, with the new Communications staff, the activity reached new participants.
Prize ceremony and exhibition of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 in Buenos Aires Cultural Palace
Aim: Increase and improve the content available in Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and other Wikimedia projects, whether developing existing articles, write new entries and/or produce new media. Increase the number of volunteers in our projects and foster their participation, making them more active in the community.
Metrics: number of participants of the contests, new articles edited, new photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
Number of articles involved: 250+
Involvement: 1 staff.
On June 4th we held the award ceremony of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 in the Buenos Aires House of Culture and it was also the scene to officially announce the launching of the 2013 edition of the competition. Some flyers were produced to promote the contest and will be used in different exhibitions that will be organized in other places in Argentina.
Our collaboration contracts with different institutions have set the pace in the organization of different activities. In this case, the participation with the Government of Buenos Aires City in the past was crucial for the exhibition to be hosted in such an important place. Something similar will probably happen in La Plata, where the exhibition will go soon. It is essential to sustain relationships with different institutions because it will bring us new opportunities and open new channels for our needs.
We still need to develop a program for Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 so we can include new places and reach more people outside the local community of wikimedians. It is something that we should do this quarter but we probably should have started earlier.
Organizational strengthening
Thanks a million video to celebrate the 1,000,000th article of Spanish Wikipedia.
Aim: to constitute a professional Wikimedia chapter in Argentina, able to work efficiently with other institutions and to support and promote volunteers' work.
Metrics: new staff hired, strategic (mid and long term) planning, contact data base divided by audiences of interest to the organization.
Staff: 2 employees (1 full-time, 1 part-time).
Strategic planning: Slow level of implementation of strategic recommendations.
Contact management: Not done yet.
Involvement: 2 staff members.
In April 2013, we hired our second staff member, María Cruz, to improve our Communication model, supporting the communication to the Foundation via reports, to our members and to the general audience. The activity on our website has increased substantially: from 2 per month in the past year to one every 4 days in Q2. Also, the level of engagement has increased on Facebook, quadrupling the number of actions over the past year (64 to 240 per month on a 28-days basis). In the next months, we will release a new website that will be much more appealing and engaging with our visitors.
For the celebrations of Spanish Wikipedia 1,000,000th article, Wikimedia Argentina coordinated the different groups involved, like other chapters and Wikipedia editors. Wikimedia Argentina wrote the basis for the press release for the occasion but encouraged participation of other editors, creating a transversal message made by the community as a whole. Also, a video was released with people from different places in the Spanish-speaking world to celebrate the landmark.
The new Communication Manager has allowed us to increase our level of online activities, resulting in an increase also in the participation of members and non-members in our publications and also in our projects. This can explain, for example, the substantial increase in the number of participants, for example, in the edit-a-thon at the Buenos Aires City Legislature.
The participation as a coordinator of the Spanish Wikipedia celebration was very successful and was a demonstration of the final goal of Wikimedia chapters: engage with the community and support it for the fulfillment of its projects. Also, the organizational structure of Wikimedia Argentina was useful to coordinate with Ibero American chapters and groups with other level of development, creating a coordinated work that was relevant for the whole Ibero American region and not just for Argentina.
The communication effort has been focused on publications and direct engagement with the community, but it has consumed a lot of time and energy, not allowing yet for the development of a solid Communication Model. That is something that should be addressed in the next quarter, to allow a more effective approach to the community.
Some of the printed materials of the past quarter.
Aim: To promote new participation in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, and spread Wikipedia-related knowledge in Buenos Aires and other cities in Argentina.
Metrics: leaflets produced, estimated reach of those leaflets.
Leaflets produced: 2,000 manuals about Wikipedia, 1,000 flyers about Wikipedia, 1,000 flyers about Wiki Loves Monuments.
Reach: 150 WLM flyers given for the exhibition; 100 Wikipedia flyers given at workshops and presentations.
For the promotion of Wikipedia and its sister projects, we have produced a number of printed materials that will support our activities like presentations, edit-a-thons, workshops and other activities. The main printed product was the Editor's manual; half of these manuals will be sent to some of the more than 500 libraries in the Buenos Aires Province as part of the agreement signed with the Cultural Institute of that province, reaching to even more people.
Flyers for Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 are being given in the exhibitions of the winning pictures of the past edition, raising interest for the new contest.
The main issue with the printed materials is the problem of becoming obsolete, specially considering the current changes that our sites are living (for example, with the new Visual Editor). These changes make difficult to find a perfect timing for the release of printed materials and for the design of the documents. The manuals were created having in mind the old editor so in the next few months, the descriptions will be out of date; in any case, the old editor will still be important for certain features in the future, so the manuals won't be totally useless.

Aim: Encourage the participation of volunteers from communites under represented in the Wikimedia movement
Metrics: activities organized, number of participants.
Activities: 1 workshop with two sessions.
Reach: Around 25 participants in one or both sessions, including several gender researchers.
Involvement: 2 volunteers.
The workshop "Editing the gender gap in Wikipedia" was held on two different days this time: June 14 and June 28, organized jointly with the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities of the National University in Córdoba, as part of the cooperation framework signed with that institution. The workshop was attended by 17 people on the first meeting, which lasted for three hours, and 11 people on the second meeting, which lasted for six hours. None of the participants had edited Wikipedia before, hence, the experience was also a chance for dialogue about what is the free encyclopedia and the principles in which it is inspired.
As usual, these workshops have an important number of participants, including several researches and people involved in gender-related activities. However, the workshop had problems in the first session because there was a general IP block to the one used by the National University of Córdoba at the moment (an open proxy). This caused some troubles because no one in the workshop knew exactly how to solve this problem. For the second meeting, the leaders of the workshop were instructed on how to react and contacted a Spanish Wikipedia sysop to avoid the problem. In future meetings, we will encourage participation of sysops (if it is possible) so they can help with this technical issues on site and also we expect to draft several recommendations on how to work in this case of troubles.
Lessons learnedEdit
Lessons from this quarterEdit
A key objective of the funding is to enable the movement as a whole to understand how to achieve shared goals better and faster. An important way of doing this is to identify lessons learned from entities who receive funds, and to share these lessons across the movement. The purpose of this section is to elicit some of these insights, which will be shared throughout the movement. Please answer the following questions in 1–2 paragraphs each.
What were your major accomplishments in the past quarter, and how did you help to achieve movement goals?
We increased the number of our activities and also the number of participants in them, especially with students, teachers and other key roles in Education. We started to work on projects with the Department of Education of the largest province in Argentina, expecting to increase usage and participation in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects on educational environments.
Also, we have reached to places where this kind of activities are completely new, thus increasing the reach of the Wikimedia Movement. Most of these places are usually excluded from the knowledge generation (which in Argentina is focused on Great Buenos Aires and a few other cities) like La Rioja or General Belgrano. For the first time, there is the opportunity to disseminate their heritage to the rest of the world and we expect to continue with this work in the following months.
What were your major setbacks in the past quarter (e.g., programs that were not successful)?
We are encountering new audiences that we have never spoken to before, like old grown ups. We tried to work with them for the first time but the activity came off rather unsuccessful. We think most of the people felt afraid to engage with more techy people like teenagers in Wikimemoría; it was too risky and probably for next activities, we should start in more safer spaces for them so they can feel less pressure to participate.
Although the large number of activities is usually a good thing, we have been working top of our capacities with the current structure. We have spent most of our time working on the activities or dealing with bureacratic things, so we have neglected more reflexive and thoughtful processes than can help us to produce more impact in the future. For example, we haven't had time to wrap up the conclusions of the Education Strategy Meeting or implement some of the proposals of the Tutoring project.
What factors (organizational, environmental) enabled your success?
We have strengthen the relationship with cultural, educational and gubernamental institutions in the past months. With a more professional chapter, we have been able to follow more closely these relations and engage better with those institutions. These have helped us to develop more projects with them and organize larger activities.
The inclusion of a Communications Manager has been vital to increase our reach. The activities have incresed the number of participants and we have more engagement with the Wikimedia community and general audiences. The separation of roles in the staff has helped also to carry more effectively all our tasks.
What unanticipated challenges did you encounter and how did this affect what you were able to accomplish?
The biggest unanticipated challenge was a very controversial extraordinary session at the Palace of the Buenos Aires City Legislature, called just hours before the edit-a-thon had to take place. This situation forced us to take a quick decision, and we realized it was wisest to call the editing marathon off. We decided to postpone the edit-a-thon so then we had the challenge to make our audience understand the reasons of the suspension and keep them interested and engaged with it so they can participate in the second call. We were able to do that, in spite of the fact that the edit-a-thon was postponed two months. The turnout was even higher that what we were expecting for the original date.
What changes might you make in executing your initiatives into the next quarter?
We still have to exploit all the different communication outlets that we have at hand, in order to reach a bigger audience and engage new people. We are looking forward to our new webpage, as well as newsletters, the 2012 Annual Report, that will give us a stronger presence. For next quarter, we also have a bigger database of people who have showed interest in our activities.
We need to dedicate time in the following months to think more about the future of the chapter and how we can improve our existing projects. This will not only be useful for the projects in the coming months but also for the development of a more mature and solid plan for next year.

Up to 70% of our body is made up of water – approx. 35% of bones, 85% of the brain, up to 90% of the liver and blood are water. The loss of fluid in the body is much more dangerous than a lack of food. A person can survive without water only a few days, but without food for much longer. Even a single day that we spend without a sip of water, is reflected in our performance, fatigue and moral state. Water is a very important basic material for living cells, because cell components – nucleus, mitochondria, various enzymes, etc., "float" within their cell membranes. The so-called intracellular matrix is also composed primarily of water.
Water promotes the absorption of nutrients, carries nutrients to cells, dissolves and eliminates excess products of metabolism, moistens the air we breathe, it helps regulate body temperature through evaporation of perspiration, facilitates joint flexibility, and creates a flexible protective coating around our vital organs.
If a middle-aged adult weighing 60 kg requires about 30 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight, a child weighing 10 kg needs 100 ml and an infant weighing 5 kg needs up to 150 ml of drinking water per 1 kg of body weight. A child's body is also sensitive to the influence of the harmful elements contained in water. It is a mistake not to replenish fluids until you feel thirsty, as it is already too late from a physiological point of view.
One of the most important functions of water in the body is its involvement in food digestion and nutrient supply to cells. It was found that for example to digest 100 g of meat one needs at least 80 ml of water. If a person drinks that amount at a particular time prior to a meal, it ensures a normal level of digestion. Without this, normal absorption of amino acids from protein-containing food is not possible. To digest fatty food a person needs even more water. A lack of water during the digestion of food means that the water must be taken from the body itself, which leads to the rupture and thickening of blood. This is the reason why nutrition specialists recommend everyone who really cares about their health to drink some pure water before meals, which will then maintain the normal acid-alkaline balance in the body and balanced state of water and salt. You will also do your body a great favour by starting your day off with a glass of plain warm water. Pure warm water pushes food into the lower part of the stomach, quenches thirst, flushes out salt, and cleanses the digestive tract and kidneys.
Water is not and should not be our main source of minerals. Every nutrition specialist advises not to "salt" your food too much. Water with low mineralisation effectively corrects the drinking regimen, because it does not burden the body, it tastes mild, and thus we manage to drink more water. Thanks to the fine composition of water, a person drinks an optimum amount until thirst regresses biologically and not until the moment a person feels full. Especially in the case of children, it is advisable to choose lighter water so that children can manage to drink a sufficient amount without burdening their bodies.


PATTERSON, James S (Jimmy), 74 of Largo, passed away on Thurs, 4/11/19. Jim was born on 1/18/1945 in Oak Park, IL. and spent many years in the family McDonald's business before moving to FL in 1974 from Michigan. Jim was self-employed in Auto Sales and later in Real Estate. Fondly remembered as "The Ambassador of the Tides Golf Course" due to his outgoing personality and generosity, he was always bringing people together resulting in many friendships at the club. He is survived by his wife of 37 years Paulette, sons James (Theresa), Christopher, & Patrick (Jennifer), grandchildren Joshua, Quinn, Ava & Jet, sister Barbara Jean Patterson and brother-in-law Ronald (Marybeth) McNamee. In lieu of flowers, Memorial Contributions may be offered to the Morton Plant Foundation, the Ronald McDonald House or a charity of the donor's choice. A Celebration of Life Service will be Friday, April 26, 2019 at 1 pm at Serenity Funeral Home, 13401 Indian Rocks Road, Largo, 727-562-2080. Condolences may be offered at www.serenityfuneralhomelargo.com.
I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. If I had to use one word to describe Jim it would it would be KINDNESS. He exhibited that whenever I was with him. All who knew him will miss him.
So sorry for the loss of your husband and father. I have only really know him the last few years but you could tell from the beginning how much he loved you all. He was very kind and enjoyed sitting and talking with him. He never had anything bad to say but anyone and was very kind hearted.
I will miss him and always be here for Paulette my dear friend.
Jimmy was truly one of a kind...I used to call him "Mr. Chamber of Commerce". He had countless friends from virtually all over North America. Annual visitors would come to the Tides and ask "where is Jimmy"? Jimmy could work a room like no one else and at the end of the day he was surrounded by smiling friends, new and old. His generosity and goodwill was and will be unmatched.
Of one thing I am sure...his many friends will never let him be forgotten.
Dad, I can't say enough how much I miss you.

J.B. Hunt Transport, Trailer Bridge to offer joint services
Contributor September 19, 2016
This equipment offering will "afford customers with the most cost effective equipment sourcing solution in the Puerto Rico trade lane," executives said.
Trailer Bridge Inc., based in Jacksonville, FL, recently announced an exclusive joint service offering with J.B. Hunt Transport Inc., based in Lowell, AR to provide customers with access to an unlimited container base throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
The service offering will operate the largest 53-foot ocean container fleet in the Caribbean, the companies said. Additionally, the two companies jointly have the largest, 100 percent owned, chassis fleet in the trade.
"This joint service offering creates an enormous advantage for our current and future clients," said Mitch Luciano, president of Trailer Bridge. "We are very excited to work with J.B. Hunt to provide our clients with improved transit times, the optimal equipment fleet, and reduced costs."
With J.B. Hunt's 80,000+ containers available throughout the United States this joint service offering simplifies the logistics process by utilizing equipment that clients already have sourced in their yards, they explained.
This joint service is now available to customers by contacting sales representatives at either J.B. Hunt or Trailer Bridge. The J.B. Hunt container will be loaded at the customer's facility and then drayed to the nearest rail site for transport via a safe and reliable trans-continental rail network.
Once in Jacksonville, Florida, the container is received at the port and safely loaded onto a Trailer Bridge barge without the need for transloading.
"As Trailer Bridge continues to expand our offerings to all clients we are excited to provide the Puerto Rico trade a unique solution that truly saves time and money," added Evan Behrens, Chairman of Trailer Bridge and senior vice president of Seacor Holdings, Inc., Trailer Bridge's largest shareholder.

La Fiat City Taxi est un prototype de voiture conçu et réalisé en interne par le constructeur italien Fiat S.p.A.

Il a été exposé au Salon  de l'automobile de Turin en 1968.

Cette étude de style et conceptuelle, a été menée par le Centro Ricerche Fiat avec le concours de Pio Manzù, un designer turinois indépendant qui a toujours travaillé en étroite collaboration avec le groupe Fiat.

Le projet

Le City Taxi devait répondre à un cahier des charges particulièrement rigoureux, fixé par la direction du géant italien. Considérant la typologie des villes italiennes avec des centres historiques très anciens et les rues étroites, l'idée était de proposer un véhicule destiné au transport de personnes adapté à ces conditions de trafic. Il fallait également que le véhicule puisse circuler sur les grandes artères et boulevards périphériques des grandes villes. Il fallait donc loger quatre personnes dans un espace habitable confortable mais occupant un minimum de surface. La carrosserie fut définie comme une « étude de forme pour le transport urbain », d'un concept très novateur au niveau esthétique et motorisation.

Les dimensions de la voiture sont peu différentes de celles de la Fiat 850 berline « Idroconvert » dont elle utilise la plate-forme :
 longueur : ,
 largeur : ,
 hauteur : ,

Le moteur est placé à l'arrière reprenant celui de la Fiat 850 berline, développant ch avec une boîte de vitesses automatique et convertisseur de couple hydraulique.

L'accessibilité du conducteur s'opère par une portière traditionnelle côté gauche, celle des 3 passagers sur la banquette arrière, du côté droit uniquement, par une large porte coulissante électrique. À côté du conducteur, l'espace est occupé par un siège avec dossier rabattable pour déposer des bagages tenus par une sangle.

Le conducteur bénéficie d'un radio téléphone dont le micro est placé à côté du pare-soleil et les passagers d'un écran de télévision.

Ce véhicule inaugure le logo Fiat avec les 4 lettres insérées dans des losanges alignés qui sera de rigueur à partir de 1972.

The word cursillo is of Spanish origin meaning 'workshop' or 'mini-course'. Cursillo has been come to know internationally as a church movement originating in Spain. Its purpose is to support laity to fulfill their unique calling as Christian leaders. These learned leadership qualities may be exercised at work, home, socially, and within the church itself.
Cursillo leaders don't have power over others; Instead, they recognizes themselves as a vesicle of the Holy Spirit to inspire others. It's goal is that of the church: to bring all to Christ. This is done when informed, trained leaders extend themselves with the support of others holding a similar commitment. It renews and deepens the Christian commitment as those who have experienced Cursillo have felt that they encountered important learning experiences giving them purpose.
Cursillo is a three day weekend beginning on a Thursday evening and concluding on a Sunday. Each of these three days, Holy Eucharist is celebrated and talks given by laity and clergy who have meticulously prepared for the weekend. The Cursillo weekend can only be experienced once as a participant. It does not liken itself to the solitude of a retreat; instead, the teachings of Christ are discussed extensively and joyfully with others seeking to strengthen their faith.
Cursillo is open to all adult Episcopalians: men and women, married or single. Laity and clergy alike are invited to join in fellowship. Each participant has a sponsor who has attended a Cursillo previously. This sponsor will assist you in preparing for the weekend, and (more importunately) mentoring you beyond the weekend. If you wish to learn more, consult your priest and a form Cursillo participant. Pray about it, and if you feel God leading you to attend, submit an application provided by your church.
The National Cursillo Center is a non-profit organization that promotes, supports, and guides lay persons through the movement.
The National Episcopal Cursillo is an official connection to church's role in building leadership in lay persons through Christ.
The NC Cursillo website provides information, guidance, and contact information to learn more about getting involved in North Carolina.
What is Cursillo is a website that answers just that question in an easy Q & A format.

Lok Sabha Elections: Cost, Voter Registration
by Kirti March 6, 2019 Leave a CommentLok Sabha Elections: Cost, Voter RegistrationLife
17th Lok Sabha elections are scheduled in April and May of 2019. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, India is the world's largest democracy. While the outcome of the next general election is up in the air, one attribute about it is already well known: 2014 was the most expensive Lok Sabha elections entailing a cost of Rs 3426 crore to the national exchequer, while the cost of 2009 elections was Rs 1483 crore, shown in the image below. For comparison, the combined US presidential and congressional elections in 2016 cost $6.5 billion. If the 2014 Lok Sabha elections cost an estimated $5 billion, there is little doubt the 2019 election will easily surpass that – making India's elections the world's most expensive.

Different Types of Voting Systems in the World
India has three major elections Lok Sabha Elections, Rajya Sabha Elections and State Assembly Elections.
Election Commission oversees elections in India. The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, constitutionally established federal authority responsible for administering all the electoral processes in India, Parliament of India and the state legislatures and of elections to the office of the President of India and the Vice-President of India.
The 7-minute video discusses the Election Process in India, Types of Election. What is parliament?
The Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India,(the upper house being the Rajya Sabha) is made up of Members of Parliament (MPs). Each MP represents a single geographic constituency. Members of the Lok Sabha are elected by adult universal suffrage and a first-past-the-post system to represent their respective constituencies, and they hold their seats for five years or until the body is dissolved by the President on the advice of the council of ministers.
The maximum strength of the House allotted by the Constitution of India is 552. Currently, the house has 545 seats which are
elected 543 members
2 members of the Anglo-Indian Community nominated by the President of India.
A total of 131 seats (24.03%) are reserved for representatives of Scheduled Castes (84) and Scheduled Tribes (47).
The 16th Lok Sabha was elected in May 2014 and is the latest to date.
To vote in the election you need have a Voter Id or EPIC number. All Indian citizens who are aged 18 years or above are eligible to vote. The qualifying date is 1 January of the year of revision of electoral roll. There are three categories of electors in India:
General electors
Overseas (NRI) electors
Service electors
The EPIC full form is Electoral Photo ID Card (EPIC). The EPIC number is your voter card number. Indian voter ID card is an identity document issued by the Election Commission of India which primarily serves as an identity proof for Indian citizens while casting votes in the country's municipal, state, and national elections. It was first introduced in 1993 during the tenure of the Chief Election Commissioner TN Seshan.
Citizens can register for Voter Id by filling Form-6. There are several ways to file the application.
You can file the application online.
The application, accompanied by copies of the relevant documents, can be filed in person before the concerned Electoral Registration Officer/Assistant Electoral Registration Officer.
It can be sent by post to the Booth Level Officer of the polling area or handed over to her/him.
Seats in Lok Sabha are divided across the states of the country to ensure two things
Uniformity among states: By providing every state with an equal ratio between Numbers of LokSabha Constituencies and Population.
Uniformity within State: By an equal ratio of Population: Number of seats within State.
The number of seats are therefore based on census and are changing since the first LokSabha elections. The present delimitation of constituencies has been done on the basis of 2001 census figures under the provisions of Delimitation Act, 2002. The Constitution of India was specifically amended in 2002 (84th amend) not to have delimitation of constituencies till the first census after 2026. Thus, the present Constituencies carved out on the basis of 2001 census shall continue to be in operation till the first census after 2026.
Ladakh Lok Sabha constituency with the largest area of 173266.37 km and 1.59 lakhs Voters.
Chandni Chowk (Delhi) is Lok Sabha Constituency with the smallest Area, 10.59 sq. km.
Lakshadweep Lok Sabha constituency with the smallest number of electors, 39033.
Outer Delhi is Parliamentary Constituency with the largest number of electors – 3368399
The image below shows the number of seats in Lok Sabha Elections
As per the guidelines of the Ministry of Law & Justice issued in October 1979, the entire expenditure on the actual conduct of elections to Lok Sabha is borne by the Government of India. But, expenditure towards law and order maintenance is taken care of by respective state governments.
The ECI has compiled provisional expenditure figures of the various Lok Sabha elections till data, as a response to RTI
The total expenditure was equal to or less than Rs 10 crore for each of the first three general elections.
The expenditure was less than Rs 100 crore until the 8th general election in 1984-85.
The expenditure crossed Rs 500 crore for the first time during the 11th general election in 1996
it crossed Rs 1000 crore during the 14th general election in 2004.
The expenditure for the last general election in 2014 (Rs 3870 crore) was three times more than the expenditure incurred for the 15th general election in 2009
What all are covered under Election expenditure?
As per the guidelines, the following items are treated as expenditure incurred for the actual conduct of elections.
Setting up of the polling stations and making necessary arrangements at polling booths & counting centres
Payment of TA/DA etc., to polling personnel and counting staff
Making transport arrangements for carrying polling and counting staff to the polling and counting centres and for the movement of election material and ballot boxes
Making temporary telephone facilities and electrical fittings, etc. to the polling booths and counting centres
Purchase of election material like indelible ink, ammonia paper, etc., which are exclusively utilized for that particular election
Miscellaneous expenditure for the purpose of smooth conduct of polling and counting
Expenditure is also incurred on other items which are not treated as 'expenditure for the actual conduct of elections'. Hence, the expenditure on these items has to be borne equally by the state & central governments. These include things like expenditure on regular election establishment and preparation & revision of electoral rolls.
Elections are an expensive affair with political parties spending crores of rupees towards campaigning.
The Election Commission of India imposes limits on the expenditure incurred by a candidate, but not political parties, on their election campaign.
A candidate can spend between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 70 lakh, depending on the state they are contesting the Lok Sabha election from.
For all states, except Arunachal Pradesh, Goa and Sikkim, a candidate can spend a maximum of Rs 70 lakh on canvassing.
The cap for Arunachal Pradesh, Goa and Sikkim is Rs 54 lakh.
And, it is Rs 70 lakh for Delhi and Rs 54 lakh for other Union territories.
For the assembly elections, the ceiling is between Rs 20 lakh and Rs 28 lakh.
All registered political parties have to submit a statement of their election expenditure to the election commission within 90 days of the completion of the Lok Sabha elections.
Candidates have to keep a separate account and file the election expenses with the poll watchdog under the law. All candidates are required to submit their expenditure statement to the poll panel within 30 days of the completion of the elections. An incorrect account or expenditure beyond the cap can lead to disqualification for up to three years under Section 10A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
From Hindustan Times article Cost of an election: Who can spend what and how much
The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) analysed the difference in the declarations made by political parties and their MPs on the amount granted and received as part of election expenditure during the Lok Sabha election in 2014.
According to ADR, of the total of 543 MPs, complete information was available for 539 lawmakers. Out of the remaining four MPs, three were Independent candidates and one MP, Gopinathrao Munde of the BJP died and his expenditure statement was not available on the commission's website.
Out of the 342 MPs from national parties, 263 MPs said they received Rs 7,559.82 lakh from their parties whereas the national parties said that Rs 5,523.53 lakh was given to only 175 MPs.
Of the regional parties, 38 MPs from 15 different parties either declared they received nothing or mentioned various amounts as received from their respective parties which do not match with the expenditure statements submitted by the parties.
BJP's lawmaker Mala Rajya Laxmi Shah had declared that she had received no lump-sum amount from her party whereas the Bharatiya Janata Party had declared that Rs 15 lakh was given to her for the Lok Sabha election.
On the other hand, 89 MPs declared the got Rs 17.43 crore, including 71 MPs from the BJP, 11 from the Congress, five from CPI(M) and one each from Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and CPI. But their names were missing from the list of candidates to whom the lump-sum amount was given by their parties.

How could Modi win with 31% votes? How could Donald Trump win elections with 3 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton? This is because of the way voting systems are designed. Different countries have different ways of voting. There are a large number of variations in electoral systems, but the most common systems are given below. Wikipedia article Electoral system covers it in detail.
First Past the Post Voting: are one in which voters indicate on a ballot the candidate of their choice and the candidate who receives the most votes wins. This is sometimes described as the winner takes all. First-past-the-post voting is a plurality voting method. The candidate need not get a majority (50%+) of the vote to win; so long as he has a larger number of votes than all other candidates, he is declared the winner. Examples: Elections in India, Canada, for the House of Commons in United Kindon, for the House and Senate in the United States use the plurality system.
Two round Voting: Also called "second ballot" systems, majority electoral systems attempt to provide for a greater degree of representativeness by requiring that candidates achieve a majority of votes in order to win. "Majority" is normally defined as 50%-plus-one-vote. If no candidate gets a majority of votes, then the second round of voting is held (often a week or so after the initial ballot). In the second round of voting, only a select number of candidates from the first round are allowed to participate. Presidential elections in Austria, Finland, Portugal, Russia and other east European states, as well as presidential and National Assembly elections in France, make use of various forms of majority electoral systems.
Proportional Representation: Proportional representation (PR) characterizes electoral systems in which divisions in an electorate are reflected proportionately in the elected body. If n% of the electorate support a particular political party, then roughly n% of seats will be won by that party. The essence of such systems is that all votes contribute to the result – not just a plurality, or a bare majority. The most widely used families of PR electoral systems are party list PR, the single transferable vote (STV), and mixed member proportional representation (MMP)
