Q: Laravel Global Settings Model I'm working on building a small CRUD app in Laravel 5. I have a few app wide settings such as "SiteTitle" and "BaseURL" I'd like to give my admins the ability to change from the UI. My whole app uses a base.blade.php template that gets extended to the different views+controllers, this is where these settings would most likely be used.
Something like:

{{ $setting->SiteName }}

I have the settings stored in a database table that are tied to a Setting.php model.
I'd rather not everyone of my controller methods query the database for these settings to just pass them up to the template base.blade.php.
What's the best way of creating some type of global setting variable I can reuse throughout the app?
Thanks in advance!

A: You could create a service provider, say SettingsServiceProvider, that loads all the settings from the database and then caches them. Then on subsequent page loads, it could return cached setting values rather than querying the database, which you should be rightfully concerned about.
Something as simple as:
class SettingsServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register the application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->singleton('settings', function ($app) {
            return $app['cache']->remember('site.settings', 60, function () {
                return Setting::pluck('value', 'key')->toArray();
            });
        });
    }
}

Assuming your settings model is called Setting as per Laravel's naming conventions. You can then access settings like so:

{{ array_get(app('settings'), 'site.name') }}

If you wanted a prettier way of accessing settings, you could create a helper function:
function setting($key)
{
    return array_get(app('settings'), $key);
}

Which would make usage like this:

{{ setting('site.name') }}

Almost emulating the config() helper function's usage.

A: If your app uses multiple controllers then you could define a parent controller that gets extended by all your other controllers. Within the parent controller's constructor you can retrieve the settings data and store it in a class property which will be available to all of the child controller classes. Your child controllers can simply pass this data to the view.

I still can't believe that the whole situation worked out with the agency and I'm actually doing what I've wanted to do all along with photography. Cheers to taking risks and facing your fears… something to really be thankful for today! Happy Sanksgeeving, as the French pronounce it :).

Storytelling for Page and Screen: Emma Donoghue, Maria Semple, and Tom Perrotta
A good story, well told, is the aim of screenwriters and novelists alike. This year, we're kicking off the BBF with an exploration of storytelling in these different modes, as told by three pros who have seen both sides. Hometown favorite Tom Perrotta is no stranger to Hollywood, having seen several of his books adapted for the big screen; these days, he's busy creating the third and final season of HBO's The Leftovers, based on his own bestselling novel. One-time television writer turned current bestselling author Maria Semple's structurally playful new novel, Tomorrow Will Be Different, has been called "achingly funny" by Kirkus. Meanwhile, Semple's beloved novel Where'd You Go, Bernadette is also under development as a feature film. And Emma Donoghue, whose latest historical novel, The Wonder, grapples with faith and trust, has also tackled the task of adaptation, transforming her award-winning novel Room into an equally decorated film, earning Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for best adapted screenplay. Joining these three talented and versatile storytellers is Robin Young, cohost of WBUR's Here & Now and also an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Sponsored by Hachette.

Reading Like a Writer: Social Commentary
Have you ever wondered how an author blended real-life concerns with a fictional world, why she chose to push the envelope of structure or sense, or how he selected details to bring a character to life? In these three sessions, writers will open up about the nuts and bolts of their craft. Our host for each session will lead an audience discussion of a very short excerpt from each author's work before bringing the author into the conversation to contextualize the excerpt, discuss her or his choices, adn answer questions from the audience. A unique alternative to traditional readings, these sessions will appeal not only to aspiring fiction writers but also to readers looking to enrich their reading experience.
This session will consist of three twenty-minute guided explorations of the work of authors whose recent fiction engages with social issues past, present, and (near) future. Suzanne Berne (The Dogs of Littlefield), Meg Little Reilly (We Are Unprepared), and Anna Solomon (Leaving Lucy Pear).

Readings: New Takes on Fantasy
Just like the best imaginary worlds, the realm of fantasy literature is vast, varied, and exciting to navigate. The three authors in this session will read excerpts from their new novels, each of which offers a dramatically different approach to the genre. Ken Liu's The Wall of Storms, informed by Chinese history and folklore, is the much-anticipated follow-up to his ambitious epic fantasy debut The Grace of Kings. Katie Schickel's The Mermaid's Secret imagines a woman who discovers an alternate reality beneath the waves off the coast of Maine. And Keith Donohue's The Motion of Puppets blends elements of fantasy and reality, circus folk and marionettes, into a wholly original perspective. Helping us find our way through this fantastic session is writer and BBF Fellow Boyah J. Farah, who teaches at Bunker Hill Community College.

Fiction: Turning Classics Inside Out
Crafting a new work of fiction based on beloved plots, characters, and themes poses a unique challenge for the author—and an undeniable pleasure for the reader. In this session, three novelists serve up refreshing takes on classic works of literature, with plenty of undeniably modern twists. In Nelly Dean, novelist and English professor Alison Case gives the narrator of Wuthering Heights a new compelling story to tell: her own. In Even in Paradise, Elizabeth Nunez infuses Shakespeare's King Lear with all the cultural richness, beauty, and complexity of the postcolonial Caribbean. And in Roses and Rot, debut novelist and Neil Gaiman protégé Kat Howard puts a new (and frankly sinister) spin on the evil stepmother trope so common in fairy tales. Helping us bridge the classic and the contemporary is moderator Henriette Lazaridis, author of The Clover House.

Fiction Keynote: Colson Whitehead Talks with Saeed Jones
Colson Whitehead's latest work of fiction, The Underground Railroad, imagines the metaphorical underground railroad as a real railroad shuttling slaves to freedom. With this imaginative leap into fantasy, Whitehead also lays bare the cruel reality of slavery. Praise for this highly original novel has been universal, with Kirkus Reviews declaring that Whitehead executes his "inquiry into race mythology and history with rousing audacity and razor-sharp ingenuity; he is now assuredly a writer of the first rank" and Publishers Weekly calling it "literature at its finest and history at its most barbaric."

Fiction: War and Its Aftermath
War forces us to confront humanity's strengths and profound shortcomings. Four authors powerfully and poignantly address the upheaval of war and its rattling aftershocks in their new novels. Deni Ellis Béchard jumps right into the modern-day war zone in Kabul in Into the Sun, exploring the lives of aid workers, journalists, and mercenaries who flock there. The artists and intellectuals in Kathleen Spivack's Unspeakable Things have fled from war, finding refuge in New York City during World War II. In Jonathan Rabb's Among the Living, a Holocaust survivor encounters both culture shock and unexpected kinship in the American South. And in Bottomland, Michelle Hoover takes readers to the time of the Great War, examining how xenophobic attitudes stoked by a far-away war affect the lives of German-Americans in Iowa. Leading the conversation is Catherine Parnell, senior associate editor for Consequence magazine, which focuses on the culture and consequences of war. Sponsored by Other Press.

BBF Unbound: Eating Our Words
Food is an important cultural touchstone in literature, representing more than just full bellies; food brings characters together and highlights the differences between communities. It can be used metaphorically or as a way to define place and time. Exploring the use of food as a tool in their own writing and the writing of others are Jennifer S. Brown, whose Modern Girls shows how food can represent the assimilation of Jewish immigrants in the early twentieth century; Louise Miller, who uses food in her novel The City Baker's Guide to Country Living as a way for her protagonist to connect to a rural community; and Dawn Lerman, who links food to physical and emotional well-being in her memoir My Fat Dad: A Memoir of Food, Love, and Family, with Recipes. Setting the table will be our host, Lori Galvin, an agent at Zachary Shuster Harmsworth and former editor at America's Test Kitchen.

Fiction: Coming of Age
The transition between girlhood and womanhood can be rocky at best—but maybe that's why it can make for such raw and compelling fiction. In this session, two novelists explore the power, potential, and vulnerabilities of adolescent girls and discuss how coming-of-age novels can dramatize the divide between innocence and experience. Robin Wasserman offers a searing exploration of the potency and bruality of teenage girls' friendships in Girls on Fire. And Caroline Leavitt poignantly and suspensefully delves into issues of first love, disillusionment, and the intense and complicated bond between sisters in Cruel Beautiful World. Guiding their conversation is BBF Fellow Sari Edelstein of UMass-Boston, an expert in coming-of-age narratives.

OKC attorney's Whataburger visit goes awry
By Gazette staff
Poor Lewis Moon. After a late-night attempt to score some tasty Whataburger went awry, the attorney flashed his "eagle badge" but did not avoid arrest recently, according to a story that ran in The Oklahoman.
Moon and public defender David James Bedford were arrested in Warr Acres after a Whataburger employee alerted cops that the driver of a Cadillac Escalade seemed to be a bit inebriated. Eyewitnesses reported the men driving the wrong way through the drive-through, according to The Oke.
When cops arrived on the scene, Moon claimed he was a deputy and proceeded to flash his Oklahoma County Sheriff's office "eagle badge," a keepsake more than an actual law enforcement badge, according to Oklahoma County sheriff's spokesman Mark Myers.
CFN remembers when our intern, Bucky, once tried to fly a plane " and rightly so in our opinion " after securing a highly coveted and rare set of wings on a budget flight to Panama City, Fla.
After being "taken down," according to Warr Acres Police Sgt. Alan Davidofsky, Moon spit in an officer's face. The police, according to The Oke, took him to jail without passing "Go."
Unfortunately for Moon, they did not, as he so vehemently requested, take him directly "to County," as witnessed on the police surveillance video, so he decided to employ a different gentleman's tactic.
"While they were here, Moon was dropping names of judges and threatening to sue everyone. Then, comments were made about tracking down the clerks who called him in," Davidofsky told The Oke.
We can hardly blame him. During Bucky's latest arrest, he proclaimed that John Larroquette was on the case and, if the cops didn't get him ice for his boo-boo and take him to the requested jail, they'd be facing down a disappointed Harry Anderson.
Moon was booked on complaints of impersonating an officer, having actual physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated and resisting arrest, Davidofsky told The Oke. He was released after posting bail. No word on whether his Whataburger desire has yet to be sated.

There are only two kings, two rulers, two masters.
Both of them want your surrender.
One came in with deceit, stealth, and craftiness. You thought he was an ally. He tricked you into thinking your life would be better. It all seemed to be going well until he began the hostile takeover. He raped, pillaged and plundered. He took your stuff, your dreams and your children. He shed blood and broke hearts, destroying relationships. It became obvious that he only came to steal, kill, and destroy. He fights against you. Now you are his slave, your burdens too heavy, the shackles and chains too strong. His kingdom is darkness, without love and affection, without any of your true needs being met. You are without hope. Or if you aren't there yet, you soon will be. The day will come that you will despise your king and the life he has coerced you into.
But, there is another King. He comes in with Truth. You thought He only wanted to control you- but He came to set you free. He doesn't come in by force, except the force of His great love for you. The only blood shed was His. He mends and heals the broken heart, the broken bodies, and the broken lives. His greatest desire is to give you a life full of blessings, abundance, and joy. He not only wants to meet your every need, he also wants to give you your heart's desire. He has come to give you eternal life with Him, the one who loves you more than any other ever could or would. His burden is light. He will break every chain that binds you. His Kingdom is Light, Love and Peace. His is our Hope! You will never regret the day you surrender your heart and life to Him!
There are only two kings, two kingdoms. You will serve one.
Which one will you serve?

AMONG VARIOUS BUDGET PROPOSALS IS EFFORT TO BLOCK FUTURE TEACHER RALLIES: Key state budget proposals began rolling out Friday morning, giving the public an initial look at how legislators plan to address education, pollution, public safety and other issues in the next two years. People who use Uber or Lyft may soon have to pay new taxes on their fares, under one budget provision. Another part of the budget appears aimed at stopping teachers from marching en masse at the legislature on school days, as they did last year and are planning to do again next week. Other parts of the budget are aimed at tackling projects such as cutting down the state's backlog of untested rape kits, and trying to identify potentially dangerous chemicals in our rivers and lakes. One major topic that wasn't in the budget documents Friday was what raises might be in the works for state employees like teachers, state troopers and others. Those details won't be released until next week.

TWEETS BY CANADIAN RIGHT-WINGER SPURRED NY TEENS TO PLOT ATTACK ON ISLAMBERG: Vetromile attended community college with Colaneri before dropping out in 2017. By then, he was fully engaged in online conversations about immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, gun rights and Trump. Over time, his statements became increasingly militant. "We need a revolution now!" he tweeted in January, replying to a thread warning of a coming "war" over gun ownership. Vetromile directed some of his strongest statements at Muslims. Tweets from the Canadian account, belonging to one Mike Allen, seemed to push that button. In July 2017, Allen tweeted "Somali Muslims take over Tennessee town and force absolute HELL on terrified Christians." Vetromile replied: "@realDonaldTrump please do something about this!" A few months later, Allen tweeted: "Czech politicians vote to let citizens carry guns, shoot Muslim terrorists on sight." Vetromile's response: "We need this here!"

CALIFORNIA SYNAGOGUE SHOOTER HAD ALSO SET FIRE AT MOSQUE: Earnest, who is in custody, is accused of killing one woman and wounding three other people in a shooting during Passover services at the Chabad of Poway. His actions appear to have been revealed in an open letter, published on the internet forum 8chan and attributed to him. The forum is a photo-based website where people can create and moderate their own boards. Because of its limited rules, it is sometimes used anonymously by members of the far-right, white nationalist movement. The missive is riddled with strong language, hate speech and anti-Semitic epithets. In it, the author paints himself as a martyr for white people and writes that he hates "anyone who seeks the destruction of my race." He also claims to have previously set fire to an Escondido mosque, and that he did so in support of accused New Zealand Christchurch shooter Brenton Tarrant. Tarrant, he says, was the catalyst for his actions. "I am a testament to the fact that literally anyone can do this," he wrote. "If you told me even 6 months ago that I would do this I would have been surprised."

TRUMP'S OPPOSITION TO MORE PUERTO RICO FUNDING IS BLOCKING RELIEF BILL: Congress last passed a broad disaster relief package in February 2018, when lawmakers slipped nearly $90 billion into a wide-ranging spending agreement. In the year since, record-breaking natural disasters have ravaged the country: wildfires in California, hurricanes in Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas, and floods across Iowa, Nebraska and much of the rest of the Midwest. But efforts to wrangle a relief package through Congress — typically a seamless feat of bipartisanship — have repeatedly failed, not because senators do not want to help people like Mr. Cohen, some of whom cannot yet reach their land, but because President Trump does not want to give more money to Puerto Rico. Democrats are not giving up their effort to increase aid to the island, a United States territory devastated by hurricanes in 2017, as Democratic senators push to match what their House counterparts have already approved. But Senate Republicans, wary of challenging Mr. Trump, say they have acquiesced enough — and unlike the states covered in the package, Puerto Rico has already received some financial aid.

In January 2017, Reading, Berkshire, UK-based Idox, parent company of engineering document management software provider McLaren Software, launched a new mobile app, OnSite, which it claimed was the first of its kind, giving building control officers (professionals responsible for enforcement of building regulations in the UK) remote access to documents and information. Users of the app (Apple iOS only) will apparently be able to search, recover, download, update and upload anything they might need for an inspection, wherever they are.
Immediate access and usage – designed with simplicity in mind, the app requires no training or a complex implementation project; users are up and running in minutes.
Efficiency savings – view, complete and create inspections on site and sync these records with those in the back office once connected.
Constant intelligence – obtain case details even when mobile, take photos which automatically upload to your DMS, and view and sort all inspections on a map.
Avoid duplication – update multiple inspections/plots all at once where inspection details are the same or similar.
Reduced travel time – no need to visit the office to pick up workloads and update systems.
Reduced printing costs and administrative efforts – the system supports paperless working.
Idox plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has a long track record of providing software and data solutions to local authorities (once the sole home of building control – today there are many private approved inspectors, which need to be registered with the Construction Industry Council). It already provides a range of regulatory services solutions including food and health and safety inspections, pest control, and monitoring of licensing applications, renewals and conditions. Building Control is therefore a logical extension of its regulatory toolset.

The skin gets its rigidity and firmness from a bunch of diverse fibers, counting elastin and collagen. There is also something named hyaluronic acid that retains your skin hydrated. Afterward, you reach your 30s, your body starts to produce fewer of these essential constituents. As you continue aging, the absence of fiber and hyaluronic acid creates your skin looser plus less structured as gravity starts to take its toll. Dermal fillers could help restore some of the construction to your skin by substituting some of that hyaluronic acid plus collagen.
Lines and creases appear while your skin ages and starts to lose all those significant fibers. They first start showing up about your mouth and the area among your eyebrows. Dermal fillers can be injected into those plus other spots to help tauten your skin and decrease the number of creases on your face.

Christian - Gambling Woes - Locker Room Spanking
RELEASED: 5th July 2019
Gambling Woes
Locker Room Spanking
The clues have been there for some time. We have already seen young Christian getting his bottom smacked by his dad after he was caught with a slip for a £375 bet in the pocket of his jeans, and again when it emerged that he had transferred most of his wages to his account with an online casino. It looks like Christian has got a serious gambling habit.
In the latest new release from your favourite male spanking studio, the poor lad is in trouble again. We find him in the locker-room at the sports club, where Coach has called him in for a bit of a talking-to. It seems that not only was Christian 40 minutes late for training this morning, but he didn't show up at all yesterday. When Coach challenges him on why he didn't turn up, the lad claims at first that he wasn't well. But Coach has already been tipped off that Christian wasn't home in bed when the rest of the team were training, but playing on the fruit machines at the amusement arcade!
Members will recall that Christian has already been exposed to Coach's "first and last" policy on discipline at the football club, getting a warning spanking in the hopes of encouraging him to keep out of trouble from then on, so that his first taste of Coach's discipline would also be his last.
It soon becomes clear that that may well have been his first time over Coach's knee, but it wouldn't be his last! And this time, he's going to get a taste of the fearsome leather strap! When Coach offers Christian the choice of a punishment spanking or being kicked off the team, the lad is quick to opt for the hiding. Coach wastes no time hauling Christian over his knee, and delivers a sound spanking to the seat of his football shorts with the flat of his hand and the strap.
Christian is then told to face the wall with his hands on his head to think about his behaviour, but if he thought that that would be an end to it, Coach soon shows that he has got another thing coming! The naughty lad is told to take down his shorts and bend over the older man's knee again, to feel Coach's hand warm the seat of his skimpy little grey pants, and endure another six of the best with the strap.
After some more time facing the wall and a little rub of his sore bottom, Christian is told to pull down his pants. This spanking isn't over yet.... Thorough and methodical to the last, Coach is going to give this young player the punishment he deserves, on his bare bottom!
Now completely naked, Christian drapes himself over the coach's knee again, and is smacked long and hard on his bare behind with the older man's hand. But his ordeal isn't over yet. He is ordered to bend over the bench, legs apart and bottom stuck well out, for a dozen final whacks with the leather strap across his bare buttocks.
Coach may be strict, but he's not entirely without sympathy, and he allows the lad a break halfway through his thrashing with the strap to stand up and rub his now very sore, very red bottom, but eventually he has to bend over again for the final six.
When he is finally allowed to put his pants back on and sit down, rather gingerly, on the bench for a chat, Christian confides in Coach that his dad has already punished him because he thinks his son has a gambling problem. It looks like Dad may be right, but with Coach and his old man doing all they can to discourage it, I think we can bet on Christian getting all the "help" he needs to beat it!

It surprise that MS Excel is a superhit with a range of industries from finance and compliance and from teaching to sales?
Microsoft Excel is a wonder package, and in saying this, I am not exaggerating or taking sides with Mr. Gates's developers. They have created a program that is so versatile and so tailor-made for just so many industries that you would wonder from where they got the idea to do this. I reckon they must have worked extensively with the industry closely in understanding its needs and implemented all the details with devilish diligence.
The MS Excel program is simply so exhaustive and comprehensive you would feel lost if you are not familiar with it. Once you gain an element of familiarity, it works wonders for most of your needs.

Often, I have noticed users finding it complicated to drag the arrow to all the areas they want to select in the Excel worksheet. I have myself sometimes lost patience with it! I discovered a very simple method of doing this (apart of course from using Control A): click on the arrow (half triangle) at the left corner of the row and you're done!
Value: This is the actual calculating part of the tables. It does any kind of operation you want from it like multiplication of the values based on the units sold, minimum, maximum, average, sum and so on.
Some cells can carry duplicate content depending on what kind of data go into them. All that is needed to remove the duplicates is to go to select the row or column from which you want this done; go to Data, go to Tools and hit "Remove Duplicates".
This is used to obtain the sum of different values in cells. Just go to the far-right corner and click on the AutoSum option. You will have the choice of sum, average, count numbers and so on. Once you set this, it will keep doing the summing up by itself.
This is one hell of a feature from MS Excel! Once you have created different files in the usual file creation mode, just click on each of them and press enter. All files will open simultaneously. And then, if you want to alternate between any of them, keep hitting control tab, just like in MS Word.

Dionne Warwick's 1963 "Anyone Who Had A Heart" hit the Billboard Top Ten in January 1964 and peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. The tune was a crossover smash and hit #6 on the Billboard R&B Chart and #2 on the Billboard AC Chart. The tune was also a Top 10 hit in Australia, Belgium, Canada and South Africa. Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, the tune was presented to Dionne in unfinished form while she, Hal and Burt were rehearsing in Burt's Manhattan apartment for a recording session a few days hence at Bell Sound. Bacharach had finished the score but Hal had written only about a third of the lyric and was struggling with what Hal regarded a bad accent in the sixth line of the first stanza, which he could not resolve. Burt played a snippet of the tune for Dionne, and she fell in love with the tune and begged Hal to finish it. Hal, according to his wonderful 1968 book "What the World Needs Now and Other Love Lyrics", went to Burt's bedroom while Burt and Dionne rehearsed in the living room and finished the lyric. The tune was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in Manhattan in November 1963, days after the assassination of JFK, in the same session as Bacharach and David's "Walk On By" and "In the Land of Make Believe". Rumor has it Warwick nailed the tune in only one take. Cilla Black, a top female recording artist in the Uk but little known outside the UK recorded a cover version released in the UK in January 1964 before Scepter licensee Pye records could release Warwick's original and Black's cover became her first number one hit in the UK. Dionne's original version, released two weeks after Cilla's in the UK did make the UK charts at #43. However, in the USA, Black's cover died at Billboard #91. Black remained relatively unknown except to fans in the UK while Warwick went on to achieve worldwide stardom. Anyone Who Had A Heart was Dionne's first international million-seller. Linda Ronstadt covered the tune in 1994 as a tribute to Warwick for the album "Winter Light." Dusty Springfield cut a cover of the tune in 1964 and both Shelby Lynne and Atomic Kitten remakes were released in 2008.
Writes Nick Tosches, the renowned writer, music journalist, novelist, biographer and poet in the January 7, 1972 issue of the rock magazine FUSION; ".getting into Dionne Warwick is like finding buried treasure. The Bacharach/David repertoire which milady chooses to sing is so fascinatingly cynical / fatalistic / stoical / emotional / happy, simultaneously! It's pure emotion. There is a whole lot more to emotion than some rock punk bursting his dexedrine-staved blood vessels by screaming "Baby I need you baby" into a microphone. Dionne Warwick is not a rock and roll singer. She's not a jazz singer either. Rhythm and blues? Nope. A pop singer? No way. Did you ever tongue-kiss with someone who barfed a Singapore Sling bolus into your mouth, and then four years later you're with someone else and you feel good and you realize how beautiful it all was and then it's all melancholy/happiness, sort of? That's the kind of singer Dionne Warwick is. She's beautiful. Dionne, paired with Bacharach's string/horn/reed arrangements, comes up as a lyric mezzo-sopranoid par-excellence, melodious/expressiveness-wise. If you've never gotten into her, you ought to. Get hep to Dionne Warwick. For your own sake."


Doubt is essentially a form of indecision, a crossroads at which we are hesitant to move in any specific direction. It can be truly seductive in its ability to habituate the mind, rendering us paralyzed to act in its presence. In Episode 17 of the Metta Hour Podcast, "Doubt," Sharon provides a revealing and inspiring dissection of this stagnant state, and explains the different ways that we can interpret and respond to the feelings that often accompany it. In putting our humility and patience into practice, we may find it preferable to discover the consequences for ourselves, rather than staying frozen in the fear of commitment.


Try this exercise in your next union meeting to start a conversation about how members see the union now.
We know that so-called right to work is bad for workers, and we have to fight it. The silver lining is that the most effective way to prepare is to get organized on the job. It's not easy, but it's also not a distraction; it's the core work of the union. The results will not only boost membership, but also get more members engaged and help us win on issues.
How Do Members See the Union?
1) Print out these four graphics. (Click here to download the graphics, along with these instructions.) Tape them up in the four corners of the room.
"Let's look at our own union and see what are our strengths and weaknesses."
2) Ask participants to choose a corner.
3) Ask to hear some examples from each corner.
Write the answers on a flipchart.
What Experiences Do Members Have with the Union?
4) Sum up the types of experiences you heard, and organize them into three categories: Negative, Transactional, and Inspirational.
Negative: The union is the organization that takes money out of my check.
Transactional: The union is the organization that negotiates our contract and health insurance. We pay dues and we get back our money's worth.
Inspirational: The union is our organization. My participation matters, and our power is collective—we all have each other's backs.
How Can We Start to Transform Our Union?
"Of the three types of experiences, what keeps members involved for the long haul?
The fundamental task is to help members see the union as our organization, where our power comes from standing up together. How do we do that? The union has to have a visible presence in the workplace, and has to fight for things members care about.

Educator hopes to inspire youth with children's book; launches Friday at UNBC
by admin|Published May 23, 2019
Dreams play an important role in Aboriginal culture.
They provide meaningful connections to a person's past, present, future, and traditions.
Leona Prince
When Leona Prince was gifted a dream from her friend and colleague Shelien Hadfield, it was something she took quite seriously.
"The dream was about me and about the things that were about to occur in my life," Prince says. "I went home and had to write this story and create this narrative to make sense out of the challenges and opportunities I was facing."
The result is A Dance Through the Seasons, a children's book written by Prince and beautifully illustrated by Carla Joseph, a Cree artist from Prince George.
The book will be officially launched on Friday, May 24 during a University of Northern British Columbia's First Nations Centre event at The Gathering Place at 6 p.m.
The event, where both Prince and Joseph will discuss their collaboration, is open to the UNBC and Prince George communities.
Prince is a Dakelh woman from the Lake Babine Nation and Nak'azdli and belongs to the Likh Tsa Mis Yu Clan. A descendant of the Stiche and Chief Kwah, she is the mother of three children.
As an award-winning educator, she is the School District 91 Principal for Aboriginal Education in Nechako Lakes.
Prince is also a UNBC alumna, holding Bachelor of Science (Biology, First Nations Studies) and Bachelor of Education degrees and a Master of Education degree in Multidisciplinary Leadership. In 2017, she was received a UNBC Distinguished Alumni – Professional Excellence Award.
Carla Joseph
She also received an Indspire Award for Educational Leadership at the 2018 Guiding the Journey Educator Awards.
Written for students in Grades 4 – 7, Prince says the book comes from a personal place of growth and discovery.
"I wrote this book for students who also face challenges and opportunities in their pre-adolescent phase of life," Prince says. "I believe growth happens cyclically. The book is about perseverance, recognizing your own gifts, learning with patience, and living your purpose.
"These are the messages I want young people to know and understand through my own experiences and the things that give me a sense of identity and connectedness."
From the outset of the project, Prince knew she had to collaborate with Joseph to illustrate the book.
Joseph is talented in her own right. She received her key to become the Prince George Community Arts Council's artist-in-residence at Studio 2880. In 2016 and she went on to win Art Battle Prince George in 2016 and 2018. Art Battle involves three rounds of four artists competing against each other where they have 20 minutes to turn their blank canvasses into a work of art as crowds of people watch them.
"I want the world to know what an incredible artist Carla is, she is Prince George's best-kept secret," Prince says. "I love her work and how she captures the essence of Indigenous culture and the natural elements that are her signature."
Prince notes that the book is not only written and illustrated by Aboriginal women, but the company Fireweed Canada, is Aboriginal-owned.

Історія
У основу розробки сервісу був закладений сполучений досвід декількох розробників, що виявлявся в попередній роботі над сервісом голосування та сервісом безплатних гостьових книг, а також скриптом професійної CMS під назвою WoCatalog Pro.

Після майже року створення 29 жовтня 2005 року російська версія сервісів побачила світ. В червні 2007 року відбулося офіційне відкриття англомовної версії, а у серпні старт альфа-версії німецької. У березні 2008 року розробники українізували систему. Україномовний варіант доступний за адресою ucoz.ua . На сьогодні існує 12 версій сервісу на різних мовах.

Деякі факти
 Частина розробників проекту uCoz — є громадянами України.
 У цей час система керування вмістом uCoz є унікальною.
 uCoz вважається SaaS-платформою, що зумовлює деякі особливості системи, які властиві SaaS. Перш за все, це закритість коду, відсутність можливості доповнити систему сторонніми серверними скриптами та базами даних. Усі ці особливості компенсуються великою кількістю вбудованих можливостей системи.

Ever wondered what your brain looks like on Shakespeare? Now you can know! Scientists have conducted neurolinguistic experiments to suss out just what Shakespeare's rhetoric does to the processing centers of your brain. It turns out that the brain enjoys the challenge of unusual syntax and receives a satisfying reward when it unravels Shakespeare's linguistic riddles. Cass says: Scientific proof that my obsession with rhetoric is well-founded!
This article on Shakespeare and leadership cites our very own Director of Mission, Ralph Alan Cohen. The ASC works with the Federal Executive Institute several times each year to train government officials in leadership techniques, and we welcome any other corporate institutes to sign up for our leadership workshops.
This thoughtful essay examines the poignancy of Shakespeare's perspective on parenting in The Tempest.
An appeal for aid from a substitute teacher, hampered by educators who are letting their students get away with reading "modern translations" of Shakespeare. Sarah says: This breaks my heart. What I want to do more than anything in the world, is reach the teachers who fear Shakespeare and get them past it and into the realm of comfort, so that their students–our future audience members and–more importantly?–leaders will be able to speak well and appreciate deep text and the humanity Shakespeare so well portrays.
And don't forget: Shakespeare's 447th birthday is tomorrow! Join us at Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton on Saturday, from 10:30am-1pm, or at the Playhouse on Sunday, from 4:30pm-6pm, to celebrate with the ASC.

Community Theatre One-Act /
The Nightmare of Frankenstein
Book By: Walsh And Noll
Cast: 2 m, 2 w, 4 flexible
The House of Frankenstein is in turmoil. Victor Frankenstein, engaged to a woman he deeply loves, has fallen into a fit of despair. The cause of Victor's behavior is, in fact, a Creature he brought to life. Contrary to what Victor intended, however, his Creature is hideous to look upon. So much so, that the Creature has covered his face so he won't have to see his own reflection. Desperate, the forlorn Creature strikes a bargain with Victor: If the young scientist will create a suitable bride for him, the Creature will retire with her to the cold and distant Arctic, never to be seen again. When Agatha, a blind housemaid, senses the "faintest pulse of life" and tries to touch the bride's body still being created, the Creature pushes the maid away, accidentally killing her. A furious Victor shouts, "The life of your bride for Agatha's!" and destroys the Creature's unfinished mate. The Creature vows a terrible revenge and Victor must set out to destroy the very life he created. In this highly literate and theatrical version, the playwrights remain faithful to the original story but the violence is accomplished offstage.The play can be staged simply or with more complex production values. About 45 minutes.

Talk About "The Nightmare of Frankenstein"
Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE THIS ADAPTATION?
A: We find this is a timely story, with science today having the ability to create life, possibly even human life. That potential opens up a host of questions about the ethics of what can be done, what should be done, and what the consequences could be.
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OR LINE IN THE PLAY? WHY?
A: Victor Frankenstein's line: "How could I have been so filled with pride to think I could play God?" It summarizes his realization that noble as his ambitions were, they also held the possibility of tragic consequences.
Q: WHAT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART IN CREATING THIS ADAPTATION?
A: Taking a classic novel written in 1816 and condensing it while staying faithful to the intentions of its original author Mary Shelley.
Q: WHAT DID YOU TRY TO ACHIEVE THROUGH THIS ADAPTATION?
A: We wanted to bring this classic story to the stage in a theatrical and entertaining way for today's audiences.
Q: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?
A: We have written the play with challenging roles for actors and a highly imaginative script for directors to stage. The play can be staged simply or with more complex production values.

Home Politics Chavismo Esequibo Rift Update
Esequibo Rift Update
Yesterday, you said tomorrow… so JUST DO IT
One week ago, Nicolas Maduro announced during his weekly TV show that he would address the National Assembly on June 25th, in order to present what he calls "…the official position in defense of the historic claim, the dispute over the Esequibo, and to ask for the national unity…".
Then the speech was postponed for the following day. And then again for today June 30th. And just hours ago, the long-awaited speech has been postponed yet again for an unspecific date to be announced "opportunely".
No official reasons have been given for any of the three postponements.
Regardless of what could be causing the delay for something so important, the central government's core argument over this diplomatic beef with Guyana remains the same though: This is all because of the evil, greedy ExxonMobil. This opinion isn't shared at all by Elias Daniels, a former Foreign Affairs Ministry Commissioner on Guyana affairs, who said that the current administration is mishandling the issue and that didn't happen during the pre-Chavez era.
Meanwhile in Georgetown, Guyana's president David Granger gave assurances to the oil giant to keep working and called Venezuela's claims "a legal absurdity". Raphael Trotman, former Parliament speaker and current Governance Minister went even further by saying that "Venezuela knows what it has to do and that is to behave itself".
Guyana also got the strong backing from its fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, via this statement made during the recent visit of its current Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma to the Cooperative Republic:
"The Commonwealth stands as one and speaks with one voice in our commitment to Guyana's sovereignty and territorial integrity…
There have been recent developments including a claim by a neighbouring country over Guyana's land and maritime areas, and the Commonwealth has moved swiftly and appropriately in collective solidarity with Guyana… The Commonwealth remains steadfast in its support for the Government and people of Guyana."
The subject could be discussed this week during the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) 36th summit in Barbados. For the record, twelve of the fifteen CARICOM full member countries are also members of the Commonwealth.
