If you are like me, you've received a direct mail piece with a nickel in it at least once in your life. I'll admit I cannot stand this method of donor acquisition. It feels like a guilt tactic, and giving out of guilt doesn't feel good. I also can't help but start mentally calculating how many hundreds of thousands of pieces of direct mail were sent out, multiplied by that extra five cents in each envelope.
That said, I do open the envelope and spend at least a few seconds reviewing the contents. You know why? Because I cannot justify throwing money away—no matter if it is only a nickel. And you know why I continue to receive these "nickel" mailings annually? Because they work. Perhaps it's guilt over needing to return the nickel to a needy organization. Perhaps it's the fact that the nickel caused someone to take the first step and open the envelope to get to the wonderful appeal letter inside. For whatever reason, those who use these types of mailings use them because they work. They know they work because they've tested them.
Always have a control group that will receive the regular appeal so you have something to test against.
Only change one element at a time when testing. If you test too much, you won't know what worked and what didn't.
Code the different versions, so you can track response rates.
For each group, the control group and the test group, measure responses received per number mailed, the amount raised, the total cost/dollars raised and average gift. Over time, you'll learn what works and increase your overall direct mail effectiveness.

MacEwan Tartan

Originally from the shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll, the MacEwan clan are descendants of Ewen of Otter. They shared a common heritage with the MacLachlan and MacNeil families until the last chief Sween MacEwen became Baron of Otter. He was the last chief as the clan became dependants of the Campbells. The clan scattered and many MacEwans became outlaws and the Earls of Argyll (Campbells) were made responsible for their behaviour.
Elspeth MacEwan was made infamous by being the last person to be executed for witchcraft in Scotland (1698).
In the 19th century, William McEwan (1827 - 1913) became a noted Edinburgh brewer. More recently, in 1953, John Helias Finnie McEwen, Under-Secretary of State for Scotland, 1939 - 1940, was made Baronet of Marchmont and Bardrochat, and several members of this branch of the family have been notable in music and the arts.

By far, the most common reason for embolizing the uterine arteries is to treat symptoms caused by fibroid tumors. This is accomplished by stopping the growth of fibroid tumors and causing them to shrink. Because the effects of uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) on fertility are not yet known, the ideal candidate is a premenopausal woman with symptoms from fibroid tumors who no longer wishes to become pregnant, but wants to avoid having a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus).
Uterine fibroid embolization may be an excellent alternative for women who, for reasons of health or religion, do not want to receive blood transfusions-as may be necessary if open surgery is performed. The procedure also benefits women who, for any reason, cannot receive general anesthesia. Embolization of the uterine arteries may also be used to halt severe bleeding following childbirth or caused by malignant gynecological tumors.
Fibroid embolization was first studied in the United States by Scott Goodwin, M.D., of the University of California Los Angeles, who reported his results in 1997. Since that time, a number of interventional radiologists have studied the procedure and have reported similar success with the technique. The results of studies that have been published or presented at scientific meetings report that 78-94% of women who have the procedure experience significant or total relief of pain and other symptoms, with the large majority of patients considerably improved. The procedure has been successful, even when multiple fibroids are involved. Most patients have rated the procedure as "very tolerable." The expected average reduction in the volume (size) of the fibroids is 50-70%, with a reduction in the overall size of the uterus of about 40-50%.
The long-term outcome is not completely known because the procedure is relatively new and only short mid-term follow-up is available. It is not yet known if the fibroids may regrow; however, no recurrences have occurred in women who have been followed for up to six years.

Two Hindu men killed in fresh Bangladesh religious unrest
AFP , Saturday 16 Oct 2021
Two Hindu men have been killed in fresh religious violence in Bangladesh, police officials said Saturday, taking the death toll to six from recent unrest in the Muslim-majority country.
Border Guard Bangladesh personnel stand guard as Hindu devotees prepare to immerse a clay idol of the Hindu Goddess Durga in the Buriganga River on the final day of the Durga Puja festival in Dhaka on October 15, 2021. AFP
Protests began on Wednesday after footage emerged of a Koran being placed on the knee of a Hindu god during celebrations for the Hindu festival Durga Puja. The minority community make up about 10 percent of the population.

Bangladesh extends lockdown as cases hit new record
Five people killed as police fire at protesting workers in Bangladesh
Police said the latest violence occurred in the southern town of Begumganj when hundreds of Muslims formed a street procession after Friday prayers on the final day of Durga Puja.
More than 200 protesters attacked a temple where members of the Hindu community were preparing to perform the last rites of the 10-day festival, local police station chief Shah Imran told reporters.
The attackers beat and stabbed to death an executive member of the temple committee, he said.
On Saturday morning, another Hindu man's body was found near a pond next to the temple, district police chief Shahidul Islam told AFP.
"Two men have died since yesterday's attack. We are working to find the culprits," he added.
Anti-Hindu violence spread to more than a dozen districts across Bangladesh this week after footage emerged on social media of the Koran incident.
At least four people were killed late Wednesday when police opened fire on a crowd of around 500 people attacking a Hindu temple in Hajiganj, one of several towns hit by the disturbances.
At least 150 Hindus were injured across the country, community leader Gobinda Chandra Pramanik told AFP, and at least 80 makeshift temples had been attacked. Authorities did not confirm the figures.
Hindus have often fallen victim to communal violence in the country of 169 million.
Local authorities said they have deployed extra security including paramilitary border guards to control any further unrest.
On Friday violence broke out in the capital Dhaka and Chittagong, prompting police to fire tear gas and rubber bullets at thousands of brick-throwing Muslim protesters.
High-speed mobile phone internet services were shut down in an apparent bid to prevent the violence from spreading.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met leaders of the Hindu community on Thursday and promised stern action.
"So far around 90 people have been arrested. We will also hunt down all the masterminds," Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said.

Corporal Punishment of Children in Theoretical Perspective Michael Donnelly, Murray Straus
352 pages: 235 x 156mm
Law »
Jurisprudence & General Issues »
Despite being commonplace in American households a generation ago, corporal punishment of children has been subjected to criticism and shifting attitudes in recent years. Many school districts have banned it, and many child advocates recommend that parents no longer spank or strike their children. In this book, social theorist Michael Donnelly and family violence expert Murray A. Straus tap the expertise of social science scholars and researchers who address issues of corporal punishment, a subject that is now characterized as a key issue in child welfare.
The contributors discuss corporal punishment, its use, causes, and consequences, drawing on a wide array of comparative, psychological, and sociological theories. Together, they clarify the analytical issues and lay a strong foundation for future research and interdisciplinary collaboration.
MICHAEL DONNELLY is professor and chair of the Sociology Department, Bard College. MURRAY A. STRAUS is professor of sociology and codirector of the Family Research Laboratory, University of New Hampshire. He is coauthor of Four Theories of Rape, published by Yale University Press.
The impressive expertise of the authors provides a comprehensive and textured view of corporal punishment drawn from an array of disciplines and theoretical perspectives. This book is must reading for everyone engaged in the important social issue of how to reduce corporal punishment in disciplining children."—Edward Zigler, Sterling Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Yale University
"There is no shortage of theories to explain the nature, causes, and consequences of corporal punishment. This volume does an excellent job in bringing often diverse perspectives together so that they can be considered side by side. All students of child development, parenting, and related topics will find this book eminently informative."—-Professor Jay Belsky, Director of the Institute for the Study of Children, Families and Social Issues, Birkbeck University of London

Henry Holland is a British fashion designer best known for his 80s-inspired, tongue-in-cheek tees that catapulted him to fame. Holland introduced the fashion world to phrases like "Cause me pain, Hedi Slimane," when he launched his own line, House of Holland, in 2007. Since then Holland has designed a denim collection for Levi Strauss & Co. and released a womenswear line H! by Henry Holland through British retailer Debenhams. Most recently, Holland released his third eyewear collection with sunglasses company Le Specs.
What inspires your prints each season?
Each season has a different starting point depending on the overall references for the show. Last season for example, we focused on tattoo artworks and Hawaiian shirts, and this season our prints are all based around nostalgic interiors.
What is it about the '80s and '90s that continues to inspire your collections?
I think it's the time that I first fell in love with fashion and what it represented for me personally. I also love the nostalgia and the personal approach that this era allows me to interpret through my work.
When did you start adding all the accessories? Is it usually the same customer purchasing them as the ready-to-wear?
We started with our hosiery line quite early on and so there was always an entry price point for our customer to buy into the brand and this is something we have always stayed focused on maintaining. I think our ready-to-wear customer is of a slightly older demographic than some of our accessories as the price points are less accessible, but I like to think that our accessories customers will stick with the brand and grow into out RTW customer.
Do you oversee ready-to-wear and accessories? How big is your team?
I'm a bit of a control freak and oversee pretty much everything. The team is made up of around 10 people at the moment across website, sales, RTW, accessories and accounting!
In which country do you have the strongest following?
I would say the UK and we are also getting a stinger presence in the Far East and Southeast Asia also. I opened our first store in Bangkok in October and we have plans for more next year.
What's your process like when you collaborate with other designers?
I often collaborate with other brands but rarely another designer in the same vein as myself, but I'm very easy to work with – I think so anyway! It's important to respect the brand that you are partnering with and their heritage and DNA as much as you want your own to be respected and protected.
What quality about you would our readers be the most surprised to know?
I'm pretty competitive and very driven. Some people think I don't do much work, but that isn't the case. I'm always striving to be better and work harder. If I could arm wrestle myself then I would do it all day long just so I could win at something!
In what way does this influence who you are as a designer?
I think it drives me to make my collections better and work hard to improve my skills both as a designer and a businessman, all while trying to build an international brand.
Who are some of your favorite emerging designers coming out of the UK right now?
I love Christopher Shannon – menswear, I buy a lot of his stuff and he's a great designer. Simone Rocha and Ashley Williams would be my two favourite emerging womenswear designers at the moment.
Can you tell us what type of art you like? Ever think of hitting the canvas?
I'm a big fan of modern art but not very well read on the topic – I just know what I like when I see it. I visit galleries all the time and like to buy photography for my home. I love looking at photographs.

BECK Buy Yukio (also known as Koyuki) is somewhat of a fourteen-year-old loser. He's not very popular, athletic or musically talented. In fact he is so lame that his favorite musician is a canned-mainstream-teen-idol singer. But when he gets reconnected with his childhood friend, Izumi, and meets up with the hip Ryusuke, a musician with connections to the very popular American Band, Dying Breed, his life gets turned around. In learning about rock-n-roll music, he quickly aspires to learn the guitar and gain a spot in Ryusuke's new band - Beck.

This text is a part of a sequence on greatest practices in web site growth, adopted by Marketo's net growth group. You possibly can be taught extra concerning the pre-planning course of, create a concrete plan, arrange your group and your challenge to succeed, handle your group all through the inventive course of, and handle the manufacturing course of in your group. our earlier publications.
Out of your web site to all of the apps you've developed, any digital product that touches your clients all through their journey, from sale to supply, have to be thought of a baby that requires consideration and directions fixed. Think about having a glimpse of the three issues your little one ought to be taught each day. What if these three issues elevated their probabilities of reaching their dream of changing into an astronaut or skilled athlete by 400%? Or what concerning the three issues that can assist them keep away from dangerous ailments like most cancers and 1000% diabetes? Sadly, this platform doesn't exist – though I'm positive many mother and father would pay tens of millions of to get this data. Nevertheless, with the correct configuration and course of, you will get this sort of data to create the optimum plan to your digital little one's well being.
On this weblog, we are going to put together your web site to be a supply of steady studying for your corporation. We are going to talk about suggestions for groups, targets, timelines, knowledge, instruments, concepts and angles. Sorry, there is no such thing as a catchy acronym for this but, however when you discover one thing that may allow you to bear in mind, let me know within the feedback beneath.
These are your stakeholders. This shouldn't be very completely different from what stakeholders have enabled for product ROI planning, besides that group members could also be completely different relying on the scale of your group.
If there's a operate or division lacking from this preliminary set of stakeholders, make sure to plug this gap now. For true steady studying, you want a consultant of each side of the enterprise. Representatives from help, gross sales, content material advertising and marketing, social media, SEM, website positioning, coaching, consumer expertise and engineering must be included to get a extra holistic image . Every member of the group has a special imaginative and prescient of what's vital for the consumer's journey and what defines success and failure. Don't miss any piece of this puzzle and you'll miss alternatives to enhance the doable enterprise outcomes together with your digital merchandise.
This will sound like loads of voices within the room, however an entire view is required to succeed. With so many votes, it's vital to have a decent schedule with strict pointers and timelines.
What did they be taught and the way? For instance, 33% of tourists request demonstrations on the usage of the messaging service supplier (ESP). They discovered the web site complicated and couldn't discover particulars about how the PES labored. We found it by way of the monitoring of demo requests and the evaluation of 10 guests who requested ESP demos.
Do you need to be taught / check and the way. For instance, how a video demo and a brand new touchdown web page with a characteristic comparability can cut back help requests and enhance premium conversions. Our purpose is to cut back the variety of buyer help requests by 10% and enhance the variety of premium conversions by 5%. We consider these benchmarks are affordable due to the share of tourists who submit a request for help or extra PES data requests.
On the finish of the assembly, the group will vote on every merchandise. If there's equality and lack of sources to carry out the very best outcomes, there's a temporary open dialogue and a closing vote of the product proprietor.
Word that this knowledge can be important to assist administration establish the return on funding of the group's extension. It's tough to ask for extra sources.
Left: OKRs established for this quarter or month in order that the group stays centered on priorities throughout the vote.
Beneath the OKR: accessible sources important to the implementation of optimization methods, together with variety of hours of design, engineering or content material creation.
The desk, which comprises the strengths and solutions of every service presentation, lists every division talking so as, in order that it may possibly know in flip.
Whereas the presentation course of turns into a fluid a part of your planning, it's best to have the ability to cut back the displays by 5 minutes, if doable. If it takes greater than 10 minutes, there are too many targets per week, the outcomes and solutions aren't ready, otherwise you enable too many questions / solutions. Remind everybody of the strict guidelines: if they aren't ready, they won't present up.
The aims and key outcomes (OKR) offer you a north star. These are typically known as targets of your corporation. It is advisable to know the place you're going and why. How a lot revenue do that you must generate to cowl your month-to-month bills? What number of clients do you change per 30 days based mostly on the typical month-to-month revenue per buyer to succeed in this month-to-month minimal? What number of new leads do that you must generate to transform the variety of clients required? You possibly can see how the North Star setting permits all different OKRs to align completely – as much as the extent of the efficiency of 1 marketing campaign in comparison with one other.
It doesn't matter if the numbers you begin with are correct. What issues is that they're based mostly on what's vital for your corporation. Begin with what you realize and are available again from there. Are you aware how a lot your month-to-month charges are? Are you aware how a lot a median buyer generates on a month-to-month foundation?
When you've by no means heard the phrase "time-based targets," be taught it. The OKRs have this intrinsically built-in. Every purpose will need to have a lapse of time. In any other case, there is no such thing as a widespread unit of measure. How a lot will it price to accumulate 10 new clients in 30 days? With out the 30 days, the entire of your plan adjustments. Time is an important and constant unit of measurement so that you can obtain your targets. Your payments is not going to wait six months. Your targets of rising the enterprise and paying your payments cannot wait both.
What knowledge do that you must see what works and what doesn't work? Examples embody clickthrough charges, price per click on, conversion charges, the typical enterprise worth of a buyer and the lifetime worth of a buyer. Figuring out the completely different knowledge factors wanted to raised perceive what works is the muse of a sound evaluation plan.
What instruments will you utilize to measure the info? Instruments embody Google Tag Supervisor, chatbots, monitoring codes, monitoring pixels, and generic types with built-in evaluation. These are the instruments you have to to seize and manage the info that will provide you with perception into what works and what doesn't work.
Look at the instruments as an open area and select what fits you greatest. From my expertise, you possibly can typically get a greater consequence through the use of Google tags to trace Google's knowledge and API to create a customized analytics dashboard offering the precise data your group has. wants day by day and weekly.
A stable (or analytical) data dashboard will let you know the place to double and the place to fall again.
Reflections ought to spotlight behaviors resembling measuring the time spent on the positioning and the rebound fee based mostly on character. For instance, you possibly can see a median of three minutes on a web page with an 80% bounce fee for a selected particular person you see. The concept is particular kind of consumer (particular person) spent three minutes getting conversant in your product, then stopped on the registration web page. This might imply that this character is a window purchaser or that there was one thing particular that they had been searching for within the value and options chart that was not included.
Look at the present consumer's knowledge to establish the variety of purchasers that match that character. Perhaps this particular person will not be the best consumer profile.
Conduct interviews with purchasers to seek out out why they transformed and what would have created frustration or pushed them to depart them .
Create two to a few premium sign-up choices for the A / B check that provides the next conversion for a similar character.
Create an exit survey providing 90 free days to grasp why they determined to not purchase.
Insights ought to let you know which campaigns provide a greater return on funding. Suppose an instance the place there are two campaigns with a complete of 100 new leads generated per marketing campaign.
When you solely use click-through or cost-per-click to decide on the best-performing marketing campaign, you'll lose many hundreds of in promoting per 30 days.
From there, I see that the issue is the adequacy of the product market. In the course of the first marketing campaign, the message generated loads of curiosity, however little or no curiosity for the product, even at a low entry value of $ 100. Causes could embody: The particular person doing the analysis doesn't have the ability to decide, they solely go window buying, or the marketing campaign was deceptive and the consumer landed on the unsuitable web page.
You might be questioning analyze all these "concepts" to find out what works and what doesn't work? Rent a vice chairman of the angles.
The one job of this particular person is to seek for alternatives in your knowledge. Their key operate is to establish the place and make enhancements by doubling, the place, and carry out extra exams to establish triggers for recognized behaviors and behaviors to kill.
vice chairman of Angles may have a CRO framework (or conversion fee optimization) that he'll use to research the alternatives and dangers of complying with the OKRs. They may even have a MED optimization method (minimal efficient dose).
. What's the income potential?
. What are the fee financial savings?
. Are the features incremental or does the sport change?
. Who're we making an attempt to steer?
. What motion do we would like them to take?
. What motion do they need to take?
Every of those methods has a easy analysis system to guage choices. Charge every affect on a scale of 1 to five, with 5 being the check with the velocity, affect and value of the best sources. Every rating is multiplied by 5 and the entire obtained is used to establish the very best performing exams.
Personally, I like to make use of the MED (minimal efficient dose) as a brilliant vote.
MED is the smallest contribution wanted to attain the specified consequence. For instance, if you wish to boil water, the MED is 212 levels Fahrenheit. Growing the temperature above 212 levels is not going to produce a greater consequence, it is going to solely waste sources.
Instance: What is going to the MED generate for $ 1 million in new income within the subsequent quarter?
Now you might have all of the instruments and processes that you must measure and efficiently handle your net growth course of. What you do with it is determined by you. I'd love to listen to about your net design course of within the feedback beneath.

A new Twitter Ads button for iOS and Android client applications
Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) has rolled out a new Ads button for its iOS and Android client applications users. Although, this is not being officially announced by Twitter itself, but according to what TechCrunch reports, it is now available for both Android and iOS users. The newest Twitter Ads button will be placed on the user profile pages and it is going to be seen just on the right side of the "Edit profile" button, the account switcher and the Settings icon.
What does the Twitter Ads button do
Initially, some users took it as some shortcut to Twitter analytics but now things are pretty much clear. The Ads button provides the ability to manage users' Twitter ad campaigns while on the go. Some users are not much happy with this new update. If you are not currently running any Twitter ad campaign, then this feature is simply redundant. This button will not pursue you to go and create your first new campaign from the app itself.
Earlier this year, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) had introduced a similar thing that helps users manage their Facebook ads through smartphones only. The social networking giant has launched a Facebook Ad Manager App that not only lets advertisers know about the performance of their Ads, but also brings the whole creation process to the mobile phone. One can simply go and write ad text, upload photos and even put restrictions on the type of audience on which he/she is focusing; right from the application itself.
Of course, right now we cannot expect so many fancy features from Twitter's counterpart; as it is not an official announcement about the presence of this new Twitter Ads button. However, hopefully they will be planning to bring such features like Facebook in the future. It is still not very clear about how many users are able to see this new change but since recently both iOS and Android app have been updated, it is expected to be added in the latest versions.

Mrs. Patricia Rush, a black woman, was employed by the McDonald's Corporation at its Indianapolis regional office, as a word processing specialist, first part-time, and later full-time, from November 1985, until May 1988, when she was fired. She subsequently brought an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, against McDonald's and two of her supervisors. She alleged violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 1 of section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1870, 2 of the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), 3 and of Indiana common law. The district court granted the defendants' motions to dismiss certain portions of the complaint and for summary judgment as to the remainder of her action. It also imposed sanctions under Rule 11 on Mrs. Rush's attorney. We affirm.
I BACKGROUND
A. Facts
Mrs. Rush was first hired by McDonald's in November 1985, as a part-time word
processor. Mrs. Rush preferred a full-time position, since part-timers were paid a lower hourly rate and received fewer employee benefits. 4 She expressed that interest to various supervisory personnel on a number of occasions. However, the Indianapolis office did not have a full-time vacancy until the end of 1987. At that time, Mrs. Rush applied for that position, and she was promoted to full-time status effective January 1, 1988. During the period that Mrs. Rush was employed on a part-time basis, she was twice subject to disciplinary action. 5
On Monday, May 2, 1988, Mrs. Rush did not report to work. In an affidavit, Mrs. Rush stated that she had had a scalp problem for several months, and that, on that particular day, it manifested itself as a severe case of dandruff. Not only was she embarrassed by her situation, but she feared that this condition would put her in non-compliance with McDonald's' employee appearance standards. Because Mrs. Rush did not have a telephone at her home, she asked her husband, Arthur Rush, to call the McDonald's office to tell her immediate supervisor, Sharon Funston, of her unavailability. However, because of the personal nature of her condition, she instructed her husband not to give the reason for her absence from work.
The McDonald's regional office had a written attendance policy which required, among other things, that an employee who was unable to report to work should notify the office manager or leave a message at her office. On the other hand, the McDonald's office apparently did not have any written policy which provided for the discharge of employees for unexplained absence. Mrs. Rush acknowledged that she was aware of the attendance policy. She alleges that because she did not have a telephone at her residence, she had permission from Ms. Funston to have her husband call in for her; McDonald's disputes that assertion. At the summary judgment stage, we accept the nonmoving party's (here, Mrs. Rush's) version of the facts.
On Tuesday, May 3, the plaintiff again asked her husband to call Ms. Funston, and this time to tell her that Mrs. Rush would be back at work on Thursday. As on the prior day, Ms. Funston again expressed her concern to Mr. Rush as to the reasons for and the duration of his wife's absence, because she felt the need to have Mrs. Rush's work assignments completed. 6 On Wednesday, May 4, Mrs. Rush called the McDonald's office personally; after several missed connections, she finally spoke to Ms. Funston that afternoon, 7 and agreed to come to the office the next day. Mrs. Rush finally reported to work on Thursday, May 5. She met with Ms. Funston and, after a brief discussion, 8 was given a written notice of termination of employment.
B. Proceedings Below
On June 9, 1988, Mrs. Rush filed a charge of racial discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"). 9 The complaint was referred to the Indiana Civil Rights Commission; on April 6, 1989, that agency rendered its findings, concluding in part that "Complainant's allegation of a discriminatory practice by Respondent in the area of employment on the basis of race when Complainant was discharged is found to be without merit." On May 23, 1989, the EEOC issued a Notice of Right to Sue to Mrs. Rush.
Mrs. Rush filed her initial complaint with the district court on August 18, 1989. In addition to naming McDonald's as a defendant, she also sued Ms. Funston and the McDonald's regional manager, William Rose. 10 Mrs. Rush alleged that she was the subject of racial discrimination while she was an employee and in her eventual discharge. Her complaint generally asserted a number of theories under both federal and Indiana law.
A variety of motions directed to the pleadings followed. In response to a motion for a more definite statement, the plaintiff moved for leave to file an amended complaint. Her motion was granted, and a second complaint was filed on December 21, 1989. While the initial complaint was rather unspecific, this amended complaint contained five counts, identifying a number of respects in which the defendants' conduct allegedly violated various statutory and common law duties.
Specifically, in Count I, Mrs. Rush asserted five forms of race-based discrimination in violation of Title VII: (a) her discharge; (b) denial of promotion from part-time to full-time status; (c) denial of employee benefits; (d) harassment, including racial comments and disparate treatment; and (e) adoption of a policy of filling the word processor position with minorities and of hiring minorities on a parttime basis more frequently than non-minorities. Count II asserted a claim under section 1981, alleging that the delay in promoting her from a part-time to a full-time position was the product of racial considerations. Count III asserted an ERISA claim, based on the wrongful denial of employee benefits. Count IV alleged a claim of racial discrimination resulting in her wrongful discharge; this claim was based on Indiana public policy, which in turn was assertedly derived from the Indiana Civil Rights Law. 11 Count V asserted a state law claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress, which resulted from Ms. Funston's alleged racial harassment of the plaintiff.
On June 5, 1990, the defendants moved to dismiss portions of the amended complaint. 12 In response, plaintiff made a motion on July 25, 1990, for leave to file a second amended complaint. 13 After the defendants pointed out in their opposing brief that this motion came six weeks after the cut-off date set by the Pre-Trial Scheduling Order for filing such motions, the plaintiff filed a motion on August 23, 1990, to enlarge the time to file a motion for leave to amend the complaint.
The plaintiff's two state law claims were abandoned in mid-1990. Mrs. Rush first made a motion on June 1, 1990, seeking leave to dismiss Count V without prejudice;
the district court granted this motion on June 5, 1990. After the defendants made a motion requesting reconsideration of this order, the court amended the order on June 11, 1990, to provide that this claim was dismissed "with prejudice." Then, on August 28, 1990, counsel for the parties entered into a stipulation for the dismissal of both Counts IV and V. 14
On November 12, 1990, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. By an order dated April 12, 1991, the district court, after first noting the untimeliness of plaintiff's motion, nonetheless granted her permission once again to amend the complaint. Considering the action on the merits, the court granted the defendants' motion pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) as to three of her Title VII claims 15--those asserting denial of benefits, racial harassment, and McDonald's' alleged policy of slotting minorities into parttime positions--and granted summary judgment as to the balance of her claims. Rush v. McDonald's Corp., 760 F.Supp. 1349 (S.D.Ind.1991).
The defendants had filed two separate motions for sanctions, pursuant to Rule 11 and Rule 16(f). 16 Finding that Mrs. Rush's complaint contained frivolous claims, the court concluded that the imposition of some sanctions under Rule 11 was required. Although the court determined that the imposition of attorney fees was excessive, it concluded that both monetary and nonmonetary sanctions were appropriate. The court therefore ordered a reprimand of Mrs. Rush's attorney and the award of costs against her and in favor of the defendant. 17 Mrs. Rush filed a timely notice of appeal, challenging the dismissal of certain of her claims and the entry of summary judgment with respect to the rest. 18 Mrs. Rush's attorney appeals the entry of sanctions under Rule 11.
A. Standard of Review
This case comes to us on appeal from a trial court's entry of summary judgment. By now, it is standard learning that summary judgment should be entered when there is no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

Q: Why can't the route be dragged when setting draggable = true? I think this is a very simple problem. But I have not found the reason.
My code is like this:

var request = {
  origin: new google.maps.LatLng(startLat, startLng),
  destination: new google.maps.LatLng(targetLat, targetLng),
  waypoints: stopovers,
  travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING,
  provideRouteAlternatives: true
};

directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
  if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
    var rendererOptions = {
      map: map,
      suppressMarkers: true,
      draggable: true
    }
    var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer(rendererOptions);
    directionsDisplay.setOptions({
      polylineOptions: {
        strokeColor: colors[i]
      }
    });

    directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);

  } else
    console.log("error " + status);
});

When the route is displayed on the map, I can find the "point" which is used to drag the route.
But if I really drag the route, the route will recover to its original status after I release the mouse button.
Did anyone have the similar problem?

A: You might have a problem with the usage of : waypoints: stopovers, in your code please refer to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/directions#DirectionsRequests. If we had a fiddle we'd work on that, but till then please take a look at this fiddle that I created for you using and articles code taken from this article which seems to define the rendererOptions in a higher level:
var map;
var rendererOptions = {draggable: true};
var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer(rendererOptions);
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();

$(document).ready(function () {
        //draw a map centered at Empire State Building Newyork
        var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(40.748492, -73.985496);
        var myOptions = {
            zoom: 15,
            center: latlng,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
        };
        map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
        directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
        directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById("divDirections"));

        $("#btnGetDirections").click(function(){
            calcRoute($("#txtAddress1").val(),$("#txtAddress2").val());
        });

});

function calcRoute(start,end) {
  var request = {
    origin:start,
    destination:end,
    travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING,
    provideRouteAlternatives : false
  };
  directionsService.route(request, function(result, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
      directionsDisplay.setDirections(result);
    }
  });

Matt Shore began his love affair with writing in the seventh grade when his first entry into the Ohio-based Power of the Pen Competition won him the Director's Choice Award. Like any decent adolescent-minded writer, Shore began immediately sequelizing the story that had brought him such modest success, much to the chagrin of his friends and classmates. As a life-long fan of The Simpsons, Shore became familiar with film and television tropes thanks to the show's pull-no-punches sense of humor, making him well aware of cultural references and allusions that were well beyond the norm for a pre-pubescent child. Shore's father instilled in him a deep love for comedy and the written word thanks to an onslaught of Monty Python and Firesign Theater routines, warping him severely into the strange but lovable writer he is today. Since those inauspicious beginnings, Shore's fixation on mastering the craft of writing has plagued his mind, resulting in dozens of unfinished screenplays, theatrical productions and, of course, the Great American Novel (currently collecting dust inside his hard drive).
Shore is a graduate of Northwestern University where he studied English with a specialization in Creative Writing. One of the first fifteen students to attempt the nouveau Creative Writing Non-Fiction Program, Shore was guided and heavily criticized by his brilliant mentor, author Eula Biss, for his unlikely ability to craft competent assignments from unwieldy premises. In spite of his academic battles, Shore's obsession with introspection and deconstruction of the written word lead him to craft non-fiction essays that blurred the boundary between writing and performance, resulting in interview and research based pieces about stand-up comedy and its troubled relationship with off-color subjects. When not delving into bawdy or edgy material, Shore enjoyed the repose and intellectual comfort provided by the film, television, and stage performances that he frequented. It was only later in life, when studying the structural integrity of the great comedic essayist Dave Barry that Shore discovered his own knack for crafting informative and interesting short essays, articles and reviews for the web.
Inspired by a lifetime of positive creative influence, familial and academic mentors, and too much pop culture trivia swimming around his brain, Shore launched his latest attempt at a buzzworthy blog, The Unstoppable Collossus. His movie reviews began to attract the interest of peers and industry colleagues, eventually leading him to a very pleasant conversation with Working Author founder, René Garcia. Shore hopes to bring his unique brand of diction, sardonic humor and love for film to the Working Author community and hopes you will enjoy his take on the latest cinematic releases. Shore welcomes those who do not agree with his reviews to post their comments in the talkback section, as discussing movies is a non-stop personal pastime for the writer. When it comes to opinions on film, there is very rarely one correct answer, but there can surely be no harm in the free exchange of well-constructed arguments and interesting ideas.


An upcoming TV series starring actors Kim Ji-seok and Lee Jin-wook will soon hit airwaves next month.
On Tuesday, the show's broadcaster, tvN, announced in a press release that the new season of "In Need of Romance," starring Kim and Lee, will take on Wednesday and Thursday nights starting June 20.
In the series, Kim plays a C.E.O of a coffee shop named Shin Ji-hoon who has a girlfriend named Joo Yeol-mae (Jung Yu-mi). They later get involved in a love triangle with his best friend, played by Lee.
Following the success of the first season, "In Need of Romance 2012" will follow the everyday story -- work, romance and friendship -- of women and men in their thirties.
It has received favorable reviews and viewership ratings during its run in Korea and also made its way to meet viewers in Japan earlier this year.


Many consumers live with old misconceptions of car leasing. Do you live with the belief it's only for corporations because they must buy a large quantity of vehicles for their employees? Do you live with the belief it's only for the wealthiest of the wealthy who simply want a brand-new car every year so they remain relevant? Do you live with the belief it's not beneficial and it's more expensive for the average consumer to lease a vehicle? If you believe any of this, you're wrong. It's true corporations lease cars because it' beneficial. It's true wealthy people might decide to lease, but it's also true it's affordable and beneficial for all drivers. It's not elitist, and it's certainly more beneficial than buying for almost all consumers.
It's easy to see leasing is a much more beneficial option for anyone who wants to drive a nicer car, maintain a low car payment, drive with the knowledge your car will never give you major problems or that they're covered under warranty, and you get a new car every few years. The big downfall of leasing is the mileage factor, and this is when you might consider buying. If you drive long distances and put more than approximately 15,000 miles on a car each year, leasing is not a good option. For everyone else, it's the best option.
The biggest debate surrounding leasing vs. buying is a simple one. You get to own your car when you buy it. Leasing is a form of borrowing or renting a car and being required to return it in a few years. This might not seem like a great option until you ask yourself one question. Have you ever owned a car outright? Have you ever bought a car and paid five or six years worth of payments so you could own it outright? Most people don't. Most people try to trade in their car within three or four years of buying it, and they find that it's just not worth what they owe.
If you are this person, it's a nice option to lease. You get to have that new car you want every two or three years without financial stress. You don't owe anything on your lease when you turn it in if you stay within the realm of your lease agreement, which means you're not rolling over the remainder of what you owe on your car into the payments you're making on a new car.
Unless you drive 20,000 miles per year on average, you're going to find leasing is a much better solution thanks to the fact it's not permanent, and it means you have more options and freedom. Leasing is good for anyone who wants to have new cars, comfort, and big savings. It's nice to know you can lease a Mercedes for the same amount or less than you can buy a Toyota.

Hong Kong police officers convicted of beating protester
bbc news • 14 February 2017 12:21PM • 0 comments
VICTORIA CITY - Hong Kong police officers convicted of beating protester
Seven police officers in Hong Kong have been convicted of beating a protester during pro-democracy rallies in 2014.
The group, charged with intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm, were found guilty of a lesser charge of causing bodily harm.
Hong Kong saw major protests in 2014 after China ruled out open nominations for the election of its leader.
TV cameras caught the officers kicking and punching Ken Tsang, who was handcuffed, in a nearby park.
The court found that two of the officers convicted did not directly take part in the assault, but Judge David Dufton said that "every police officer has a duty to prevent the commission of a crime", even if committed by fellow officers.
The ruling said Mr Tsang suffered injuries to his face, neck and body, but that these did not amount to "grievous bodily harm".


It may be possible to achieve a flat stomach through healthy dieting and effective exercise. Indeed many surgeons recommend that an abdominoplasty should be used to remove excess skin after dieting and exercise to achieve the right body shape underneath.
Abdominoplasty will not stop you gaining weight in the future and should not be sought as a treatment for weight control.
In order to achieve the maximum tummy tuck result, several different surgical techniques are presented. A suitable technique is selected according to the condition of the patient. Most procedures are carried out by a surgical incision which is made across the lower abdomen right above the pubic area. Following, a second incision is made around the patient's belly button as a means of loosening the adjacent skin. Next, the skin is separated from the wall of the abdomen.
Then, the surgeon pulls the loose abdominal muscles from the left and right flanks and sutures them together. This action concludes with tighter abdominal muscles, forming a firmer, stronger abdominal wall in addition to a smaller waist. Later than the tightening and suturing of the abdominal muscles, excess skin is removed and a new opening is made in the correct position for the belly button.
The incisions are closed with sutures only or combined with staples. finally, medical gauze is placed on the incision area in an effort to maintain the abdominal region clean and free from infection.
Another option different from a full tummy tuck , and considered to deal with problem areas presented below the belly button, is a partial tummy tuck. This procedure, less invasive form of abdominoplasty, is normally performed on an outpatient basis and usually requires a local anesthesia.
The surgeon may recommend that, either a partial or full tummy tuck, be done in combination with Liposuction . This is Frequent into those cases where additional fat deposits require to be removed from the hips, resulting in more rejuvenated, spectacular body contour. The most appropriate treatment options will be discussed during the surgeon-patient consultation.
Conditional on the extent, an overnight stay in a hospital is frequent. This let the trained medical staff monitors the recovery process. On the other hand, in case of treatment involving a minimal area , the patient could return home the same day.
Despite the fact that it may take several weeks to feel completely back to normal, those patients who are in good physical condition will experience faster recovery times. Furthermore, while some patients are able to return to work after two weeks, others will require up to four weeks to recuperate. It is highly recommend that patients begin a program of light exercise following surgery. The motion afforded by this activity will reduce swelling, diminish the possibility of developing blood clots and improve skin tone. Vigorous exercise, such as lifting heavy objects, must be avoided until the surgeon provides his consent to do so. Normally, surgical scars appear to be worse during the first few months following a tummy tuck. It may take up to a year before most scars flatten out and lighten in color. Nevertheless scars are placed in areas that will subsequently be covered by clothes, bathing suits.
The practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science. Although this operation doesn't have practically any type of side-effects some of the risks and potential complications that can occur are infection, skin loss, fluid accumulation, changes in skin sensation, skin discoloration and/or swelling, etc.
What can be expected from a tummy tuck?
Tummy Tuck surgery will enhance your body by making your abdomen firmer and flatter. You may find that you feel more comfortable in your clothing and are more confident about your appearance. You can combined it with a liposuction in Argentina for better results.
It removes stretch marks or scars that may be in the area.
It may solve preexisting problems, such as hernias or eventrations.
What can NOT be expected from an abdominoplasty?
Arm lift or brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that removes loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm that makes it look saggy.
Augmentation Mammoplasty is an specific term for breast augmentation, breast enhancement or breast enlargement. This breast surgery involves placing silicone or saline breast implants.
Duodenal Switch Surgery is associated with the best results in terms of weight loss and is applied to severely obese patients. This method includes the two ways to help patients lose weight, since it combines a reduction of the stomach size with a rerouting of a lengthy portion of the small intestine.
Bariatric Surgery is a specialty used to help patients neutralize obesity, allowing them to regain their quality of life and health. Advances in these types of surgeries allow patients to lose weight gradually, eating less and decreasing their appetite.
Bariatric surgery is a specialty that helps patients to neutralize obesity, thereby restoring the quality of life and health. Advances in the types of surgeries allow patients to gradually lose weight, eating less and no appetite.
Liposuction or liposculpture removes pockets of unwanted fat cells from specific areas like thighs, hips, abdomen, knees, neck and upper arms.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects a large number of patients and that in their evolution leads to complications that negatively impact health status. Type 2 diabetes represents more than 90% of diabetes cases and, unlike insulin-dependent diabetes, is characterized by elevated insulin levels that are not effective.
Currently, obesity is not only considered a disease in itself, but is also identified as a factor favouring other acute and chronic pathologies, some of which are irreversible.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program is introducing 37 students from North Slope Borough and Hoonah City school districts into its educational pipeline this week through Middle School Academy. Throughout the two-week, residential component held on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus, the students will participate in hands-on learning activities designed to spark an early interest in higher education and careers in science, technology, engineering and math fields.
On Thursday, April 11, students will finish assembling their own computers. Each student was challenged to build a computer, and they can keep their brand new computers as long as they stay on track to complete algebra 1 before high school and maintain at least a C average in all math or science courses. This activity is an integral part of the ANSEP curriculum and the first activity students participate in during Middle School Academy.
Staying on the UAA campus, participants learned how to live like college students while diving into STEM activities designed to help them understand the available paths for pursuing a career in a STEM field. Their experiences show them how to prepare for a career through higher education and give them the confidence and motivation to pursue it.
By engaging with students at the middle school level, ANSEP is inspiring students to prioritize education and providing them with the resources to succeed in high school, college and beyond. There are currently more than 2,500 students in the ANSEP pipeline and students who stay involved with the program can graduate high school with two years or more of college complete. Learn more about ANSEP and its components at www.ANSEP.net.


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reminding clinicians that the safety and effectiveness of devices intended to aid in the assessment of head injury have been established in only a limited number of devices.
In a safety communication, the agency advised healthcare providers to only use FDA-cleared devices in assessing or diagnosing head injury, after the agency discovered some unapproved medical devices were being marketed for diagnosis and management; the FDA has not approved or cleared any device that can assess or diagnose a head injury without an evaluation by a clinician.
In addition to reminding healthcare providers that there are only a limited number of devices that have been deemed safe and effective, the FDA also noted the limitations of these devices for concussion diagnosis and management.
The agency has contacted the manufacturers behind the unapproved medical products to communicate their concerns; they will continue to monitor this area and provide updates when significant information becomes available.
Any adverse effects from procedures that involved the use of a medical device intended to diagnose, treat or manage a brain injury, should be reported through MedWatch, the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting program.


Do Athletes rush to sign up for your events as soon as registration opens? Are you the go-to race director in your region, known for your high-quality, Athlete-friendly events? Do you aim to earn that reputation? The popularity of racing shows no signs of slowing down, and with a proliferation of events in nearly every city and town, it's more important than ever to do everything you can to make yours stand out.
One of the most important ways to ensure that your race is one that Athletes flock to is to focus on making it Athlete-friendly. But what does it mean to optimize the race experience for Athletes? It's simple, really: think like an athlete. Carefully consider every aspect of your event, and make sure you deliver benefits that Athletes will enjoy, and that will improve their experience, every step of the way. Oftentimes, these are little touches—but ones that make a big difference, and show that you, as a race director, really "get it" in terms of what your Athletes want and need.
Pre-Race Prep—Once an Athlete has registered for your race, make sure they feel supported and informed as they prep for the start line. At a minimum, your pre-race communications should answer FAQs and clearly communicate all event details. But take it a step further and offer a free training plan, an organized pre-race run or ride to get familiar with the course, or a Facebook Live Q & A session with an elite Athlete who has experience with your race.
Race Morning Munchies—If Athletes travel to your event, they'll need access to proper race morning breakfast—without the comfort of their own kitchens. Work with your host hotels to provide a special race morning breakfast for Athlete guests. It doesn't need to be anything fancy—coffee, oatmeal, bananas, and bagels make a sufficient pre-race spread—but it does need to be available extra early.
Taking Care of Business—A well-executed pre-race bathroom break is critical for any Athlete—and the fear of failing in this area is a source of great stress. Just read a handful of race reports, and nine times out of 10, Athletes will touch on this topic, sometimes in TMI-level detail! You can set your Athletes up for the best chance of success by providing plenty of port-a-potties—and be sure to include plenty of TP.
Make it Personal—Personalized bibs, containing Athletes' names, are a small touch that make a major difference. There's nothing quite like having thousands of strangers cheer for you by name to give your race performance an extra boost.
Type-A Aid Stations—Let your inner perfectionist shine when it comes to planning and stocking your aid stations. First, make sure everything you serve is clearly organized and clearly marked, so that Athletes seeking sports drink won't end up with a cup of plain water or cola instead. Also be sure that the volunteers staffing your stations are spot-on with their skills—like properly mixing sports drink and understanding how to hand off a water bottle to a cyclist in motion. Finally, be sure to have more than enough supplies so that every Athlete, from the first to the last, has access to the food, drink, ice, and sponges that they need.
Say My Name—A charismatic announcer can have a huge impact on your event. Some of the most popular professional race announcers have earned near-celebrity status due to their incredible energy and enthusiasm, which carries over to the Athletes. Make sure you have a winning voice behind the microphone, and expand your announcer's duties beyond the finish line. For an Athlete, hearing a personal call out over the loudspeaker while passing through a hot spot on the course, or while going through transition in a triathlon or duathlon, can add extra motivation. Plus, it's a great way to help spectators keep track of their loved ones on course.
One Word: Water—This may seem obvious, but trust us, not every race remembers this basic requirement: provide plenty of water right at your finish line. There's nothing worse than finishing a race and having to walk quite a distance to a water station—or discovering that no water is offered at all.
Standout Swag—The cheapest race tees and swag are rarely the best. Sure, you need to operate within budget, but it's also important to give your Athletes race mementos that they'll truly appreciate. Here are some standout swag ideas that won't go straight to Goodwill.
Party Time—Who wants to finish a race and immediately head home? Athletes love to celebrate their accomplishments, so be sure to encourage this community-building by offering an organized post-race party. This doesn't mean you need to foot the bill for a live band and beer garden (although that's one fun option). Partner with a local brewery or restaurant as the designated post-race party spot, and arrange for them to offer the first beer for free or a 10% discount on the tab with a race bib or medal. They'll more than recoup the cost through the added business, and your Athletes will have a designated gathering spot to swap post-race war stories.
Not One and Done—Your post-race communications are critically important to keep the momentum for your event that you've worked so hard to earn. Consider each Athlete a part of your race family and nurture those relationships, rather than let them fall off. Thank your Athletes for their participation, ask for their honest feedback (and take it to heart), and consider offering an incentive if they encourage friends to join them on the start line next year.
If you already incorporate some of these details and practices into your event, you're ahead of the game. If not, consider them as you plan for next season. Keep your focus on your Athletes first, and your race is sure to earn a reputation as one that everyone will rush to experience.

This is a course about the freedoms of speech, press, religion, and association under the First Amendment. It builds upon Constitutional Law I by examining intensively these two areas of individual rights. Two-thirds of the course will be about freedom of speech. We will ask why government regulates speech (to prevent harms? to protect sensibilities? to redistribute power? to advance the interests and ideas of the politically powerful?), how government regulates speech (by aiming at messages? by aiming at markets? by aiming at when and where speech takes place? by conditioning subsidies?), and what justifications are ever sufficient for limiting speech. We will include consideration of the institutional press and new technologies including the Internet, as well as the rights of private organizations to determine their membership and organization. One-third of the course will be about religion. We will ask how the twin constraints of the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses relate, looking especially at notions of neutrality, voluntarism, separation, and accommodation. We will also explore the implications of religious convictions for democratic politics

Here She Comes…The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder!
All day today, LauraLand has been abuzz with news items, excerpts, and interviews with author/editor/LIW historian William Anderson's newest work, The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder (Harper), which hits shelves tomorrow. I'm eagerly anticipating my copies from various sources (yay, interwebs, for making it possible to place orders at multiple non-profit museum shops even when the museums themselves are not yet open for the season!). Have you ordered yours yet?
Here's Bill's selection on the use of Laura's work in the 1948 Japanese Re-education program, which he submitted to TIME Magazine:
Read a Moving Letter From Laura Ingalls Wilder on the 'Things Worthwhile in Life'
And here is an interview with Bill, conducted by Caroline Fraser, and published today in Slate:
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/books/2016/03/the_selected_letters_of_laura_ingalls_wilder_interview_with_editor_william.html
Remember, one of the best ways to show your #LoveForLIW is to support the non-profit museums that preserve her legacy with archives and artifact collections. Your book-buying dollars go further when you spend at these sites, rather than purchasing at mega-marts and corporate conglomerates.
The always delightfully friendly and helpful Amy Ankrum, Director of Walnut Grove, Minnesota's Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum and Tourist Center, was kind enough to take my order directly over the phone. When I spoke with her today, she said the books were due to arrive in the afternoon, and mine would go out in the late mail. If past experience is any judge, I can expect my copy will be in my hands before the week is out!

Slate reviews the long-awaited publication of Pioneer Girl.
In anticipation of the (Finally!) soon-to-be-released Pioneer Girl, Laura Ingalls Wilder's circa 1928-30 memoir-cum-manuscript which became the basis for her "Little House" children's series, Slate has offered the following glowing review of the long-awaited publication, edited and annotated by a team from South Dakota State Historical Society Press, spearheaded by recent Wilder biographer Pamela Smith Hill.
In 2010, Hill was a featured speaker at the first academic conference of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association (lovingly known as "LauraPalooza": go to http://www.beyondlittlehouse.com for information about the upcoming conference in Brookings, South Dakota, July 2015). She is particularly known as the author of 2007's insightful Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer's Life. Hill has spent the last several years combing through archives and artifacts of various Wilder homesite museums, state archives, Wilder's papers at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, and compiling some details from the research of a bevy of additional sources, including several independent researchers' previous publications.
In addition, Hill is currently teaching the first-ever open-access online college course devoted solely to Laura Ingalls Wilder. Offered via Missouri State University and the Canvas Network, and entitled Laura Ingalls Wilder: Exploring her Work and Writing Life, the 8-week course was offered free of charge and attracted thousands of enrollees; it concludes 1 December 2014.
Pioneer Girl is currently available via pre-order from South Dakota State Historical Society Press (www.pioneergirlproject.org) and the various homesite museums devoted to preservation of Wilder's legacy, including:
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum and Tourist Center, Walnut Grove, Minnesota:
(www.walnutgrove.org/store/
or call 888-528-7298)
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society, De Smet, South Dakota: (www.discoverlaura.org).
I ask that, as fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder, you remember that where you make your purchase matters. Your purchase made directly through these museum and archive outlets will benefit the museums and archives most directly related to the Wilder legacy; purchases from the giant corporate behemoth retailers do not. So, if you want to make certain your purchase will benefit the places which protect the integrity, conservation, and very survival of the vast collections of Wilder papers and artifacts, please purchase directly from one of the Wilder homesites or the SDSHS Press.

Kevin Iredell is the Director of Business Development at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP. He has 20 years of experience in B2B marketing and the legal market. He led the research business at American Lawyer Media for 10 years, growing it from a nascent startup to a competitive intelligence powerhouse serving some of the largest law firms in the world. In this installment of our Positioning Yourself for Success series with leaders in the LMA Northeast Region, learn more about Kevin's career path and how his LMA volunteer experience helped him make the jump from longtime business partner to in-house marketer.
Tell us how you got involved in LMA leadership? How has the LMA benefited your professional development?
As a marketer I was drawn to the LMA, primarily to network with other marketers. Volunteering for committees, special interest groups and board level positions enabled me to meet more people, which led me to want to be more involved. All of the activities I've been involved in with the LMA have helped advance my professional development and my career through learning opportunities, mentoring, coaching and sharing best practices.
How did you get started in legal marketing?
Serendipity. I was working at Lucent Technologies in Murray Hill, New Jersey and was standing in line at the local deli one day, waiting for a sandwich and struck up a conversation with the guy in front of me. He happened to be the HR director at Martindale-Hubbell, and was looking for marketing roles for a small but growing product called Lawyers.com, which was based across the street from Lucent. I've been in legal marketing ever since.
What do you think is the key for success as a legal marketer today?
The key to success in marketing is having equal parts knowledge, creativity and emotional intelligence.
Any advice for marketers who are interested in making the leap from the business partner side to going in-house as you did?
Get involved in LMA! While there's a lot of crossover in marketing strategy and tactics from a service provider and corporate marketing standpoint; there's really no substitution for working side by side with other legal marketers. My involvement on the LMA Board of Directors and on special committees with in-house marketing leaders introduced me to opportunities that I would not have otherwise been exposed to without LMA.
What's that? Just kidding. Work hard, play hard. Put everything into everything you do. There's no benefit to having credits left at the end of the game.
What do you wish you could tell your younger professional self?
When in doubt, wear the suit. No one ever got in trouble for looking "too" professional.
