10 Most Famous Ukulele Players—Best Uke Artists to Be Inspired By
Home / Guides / 10 Most Famous Ukulele Players—Best Uke Artists to Be Inspired By
Written by SaifZiya
Let's face it—playing ukulele is no duck soup. It requires an in-depth understanding of holding a uke, finding the strumming patterns, learning how to play scales, experimenting with chords, and so many other techniques.
You must comprehend how to hold the pick, where exactly to put the uke on your lap—if that's how you would like to play it—and, most importantly, learning how to tune your guitar.
A newbie may find it disturbing in the beginning, whereas, pro ukulists (uke players) do it like a charm.
They know everything about them.
There's a famous saying about legends that goes like this:
"Legends never die".
It's true, however, someone also said that you don't get to become a true legend until you die.
Best Ukulele Players to Be Inspired By
You will wonder know that even Neil Armstrong has played the ukulele while he was in the quarantine facility, after returning from the Moon.
Would you still not want to play the ukulele?
I guess you do now.
Anyway, let's jump to the list of the top 10 most famous ukulele players ever existed. Although you could find other pro players, the below-mentioned ukulists mentioned on this page are the ones who were able to set a footing successfully.
So, without further ado, let's get into it:
1. Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
You may have come across so many legends in many different fields, be it film, music, or another industry.
Yes, the legend I'm referencing here is Israel Kamakawiwoʻole—a Hawaiian music icon—who died of respiratory failure at the age of 38.
He was honored with so many awards and Echo is one of them. His cover of "Somewhere over the rainbow" was also featured in the Pixar short film 'Lava'. This song is the one that helped him gained attention in 1999 in many TV commercials and later, it was featured in so many movie titles.
According to EMI, this song was the most requested song on TV in 2011.
In 1993, he experienced family struggled and also gained close to 700 weight. That's when he started a solo career and due to health issues, he was admitted to the hospital several times.
He, along with his brother—Skippy—died of obesity. Israel was humorous and made everyone around him laugh.
He, alone, isn't the inspiration who has won the hearts of thousands of millions of music aficionados out there—there are others that have turned out to be game-changer.
2. Jake Shimabukuro
If you're a millennial, we can take it for granted that you must be familiar with the name—Jake Shimabukuro.
However, if you don't know anything about Jake, don't worry. Read on and we'll keep you posted on everything you need to know.
Jake Shimabukuro is a professional ukulist who was born on November 3, 1976, in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
He is famous for his quick and amazing finger work which he explains in this video.
Jake is married to Kelly Yamasato. He specializes in folk, classical, bluegrass, rock, funk, blues, jazz, and flamenco. He started his career in 1998 and has been rocking his ever since, until now.
Jake has worked with prominent music labels, such as Sony, Hitchhike, and Music Theories Recordings and has received appreciation from all around the world.
His work caught people's attention when his virtuosic rendition of a song went viral on YouTube. The song was uploaded on YT without his knowledge.
If you would like to know more about him, perhaps, you should watch his documentary that was directed by Tadashi Nakamura and cast Jake. The film nominated and awarded the 'Gotham Independent Film Audience Award'.
So, how did it all start?
Well, Jake was gifted a uke by his mother when he was just 4. Having got the uke, he got attached with it and played several times a day. The reason why Jake plays it so well is that he got the inspiration and teachings from his mother who was a highly skilled ukulele player and singer.
He also decided to follow his solo career with Sony Japan.
Did you know that he has been a recipient of Grammy?
Yes, that's true. That means he's a real gem.
3. Grace Vanderwaal
Does the name above ring the bell?
Grace Avery Vanderwaal is an American singer and songwriter who used to play ukulele in her early performances. She was born in Lenexa, Kansas, U.S. on January 15, 2004.
Her favorite ukulele is Fender's signature ukulele which is a concert-sized uke and produces pure, rich, and resonant tones.
If you think that she somehow looks familiar to you, it's because she has won 'America's Got Talent (AGT)' in 2016 and that's where you may have seen her. After being selected as a winner for the show, she was home-schooled.
When she was a preteen, she got the inspiration of songwriting by watching movies so she could imagine what's it is like to feel like the character and what it would be if she were them.
If you're a huge fan of 21 Pilots, odds are you'll end up loving her more because they also inspired her to get started with the ukulele playing.
On her 11th birthday, she even her mom to gift her a uke so she could learn to play it and become a player later, but her mom refused to do that. However, she didn't give up and bought one using the money she had collected. Having got one, she watched more tutorials on YouTube became familiar with uke-playing techniques.
In addition to playing the uke, she also used the saxophone in her school.
Her work was also appreciated by AndPop when her 15 covers uploaded on YouTube were reviewed. She has got mentions from top magazines like USA Today, NYMag, Chicago Sun-Times, and even Billboard.
Her most recent awards that she's won include 'Best Push Artist' and "New Artist of the Year".
Speaking of her discography, she has released singles, EPs, and albums.
4. James Hill
James Hill is another big name that has touched the hearts of millions of uke lovers around the world.
He was born in Canada in 1980 and specializes in blues and folk genres. He's been actively playing uke since 2002 and now also teaches music people who look forward to learning it.
Hill primarily focused on the ukulele because that's what inspired him to offer music instruction for school children.
Back then, he fancied building a program where people can learn and grow together. That's how 'Ukulele in the Classroom' came into existence in 2008. He has shared his knowledge by teaching throughout different countries, including the US, Canada, Singapore, Japan, and Europe.
He always loved the idea of traveling throughout the world and guess what—he did exactly the same. He has played ukulele at many festivals in the US, Hawaii, Ireland, and other places.
Currently, he resides in Brookfield with his wife Anne Janelle who is a classical cello artist. They met each other at British Columbia University and that's where they got to know each other.
Hill has played different types of ukuleles, including resonator, tenor, and baritone ukes.
When he saw that there were no much-needed guides on ukes at that time, he took it as a challenge and opened an online series.
5. Taimane Gardner
Taimane Gardner is another ukulele virtuoso and composer based in America. She started playing uke at a very young age—5, to be exact.
She has also played ukulele at the Tiny Desk and the video has received more than 1 million views.
In addition to being a skilled ukulist, she's also a composer. In her teenage years, she became a famous local musician.
When she realized that she's gaining people's attention, she decided to release her first album i.e. 'Loco Princess' in 2005 and it was appreciated by people.
If you have never listened to any of her albums, it's about time—get one of her albums and enjoy.
Her iconic albums include:
We Are Made of Stars
Ukulele Dance
Taimane Gardner (Live)
Did you know that she also played ukulele on the streets of Waikiki along with beach boys?
Yes, that's true—and, that's how her talent was noticed by a legendary crooner, Don Ho. He then asked her for a feature in his show and she said yes.
Ever since, she hasn't looked back and performed in different parts of the world, including Hong Kong. She won the nomination for 'Ukulele Album of the Year' for her album 'We Are Made of Stars'.
Also, she acquired the 5th position in an article published by 'Guitar World'—the ukulele moments.
So, if you're looking for true inspiration, I strongly suggest you watch all of her albums to see what she recommends for beginners and learn the techniques she's mastered the art of.
To know more, you can log on to her official website or jump to the YT video section.
6. Eddie Vedder
Eddie Vedder who calls a ukulele 'an Activist Instrument' is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and guitarist.
If you're into rock or pearl jam, you most probably may have seen him perform live or listened to some of his songs on YT, categorized in the uke playlist.
My favorite one is 'Longing to Belong', this one has nostalgic vibes.
He is also known by other names, Jerome Turner is one of them. I can't enough of his guitar performances because they're just awesome. The genres that he plays are alternative rock, folk-rock, and grunge.
He has performed with many great artists ever since he set his footing in the music world.
Eddie is renowned for his baritone vocals. Based on a readers' poll—as compiled by RS, he got the 7th position on the list of 'Best lead singers of all time'.
Apart from writing great songs, recording his own music songs, he is also a good ukulele player and
He even contributed a soundtrack for one of the most ambitious movies yet—'Into the Wild'.
And, now for the big reveal.
He released a ukulele album titled 'Ukulele Songs' on May 31, 2011, that included real gems. The cover art of the album was created by Jason and the album—with a length of 34:50—was recorded in 2010-2011. The album was produced by Adam Kasper and Eddie Vedder.
Eddie also did many tours with an intention to promote the album and Glen Hansard turned out to be huge support on that mission.
The album has been categorized into two: side A and side B. Side A is having a total of 7 tracks, whereas, side B totals 9 tracks.
The album was appreciated by Eddie's fans all around the world and achieved 4th peak position on US Billboard 200, 1st position on AFP, 5th on Swiss Albums, 6th peak position on Australian Albums. Apart from this, it also ranked on other international charts.
7. Amanda Palmer
Amanda Palmer is a singer, songwriter, pianist, vocalist, and musician who has worked with renowned labels, namely Roadrunner, Cooking, and Vinyl8ft. Records. She is, sometimes, also called AFP. Apart from that, she is also an author.
Originally, she is from NY and was born on April 30, 1976.
Her career began when she met Brian Viglione, a drummer. After that, they both decided to open the band which is now known as 'The Dresden Dolls'. In 2002, she was able to develop a successful cult following and got the opportunity to record her own debut album— eponymous.
On top of being a good singer, she also loved playing the ukulele.
Palmer started playing ukulele to have a good time and enjoy with friends. She did that as a goof, but in the next years, it became a part of her consistent repertory.
Her ukulele piece of gem came out as an album that was named 'Amanda Palmer Performs the Popular Hits of Radiohead on Her Magical Ukulele', which was an extended play record and included only 7 songs with the length of 32:40.
The "Fake Plastic Trees"—which was the first song of this ukulele album—was put on 20th position on the 'Best Cover of the Year' by Paste Magazine, which also helped her gain people's more fame.
She has received many awards and honors throughout her career and has done so many tours in different parts of the world.
Not just that, she has also appeared in several films, such as Temple of Art, Lennon or McCartney, and Happy! (TV series).
To keep her fans posted on what she likes to do and if there's anything that her fans would like to know about her, she also released different episodes of a podcast called 'The Art of Asking Everything' which also included 'Conversation with People who Hate Me'.
Anyway, if you would like to get some inspiration from her, I suggest you check out her ukulele album that is linked over here.
8. Zee Avi
Zee Avi—also known as KokoKaina—is a famous ukulele player, guitarist, and singer-songwriter.
While she was born in Miri—a coastal city in Malaysia, she moved to Kuala Lumpur where she got the time to teach herself techniques of playing guitar, and all this happened when she was just 12.
She holds a total of 10 eminent awards and influences musicians from all around the world.
When she did an event in Kuala Lumpur, one of her friends missed out on that. So, to make her friend feel happy, she made a music video called 'Poppy' and uploaded it on YouTube.
That friend suggested Avi let the video stay on the YT. Later she received great feedback from the fans and this gave her inspiration to make more videos.
This video was supposed to be her last video.
The very next day, YT came across her video and her personal email was bombarded with thousands of emails—more than 3,000 emails, to be exact. The emails also included offers from big music labels.
So, that's how she got started with her music career. Now, she is working with more than many labels and Brushfire is one of them.
Her website can be accessed right here: Zee Avi.
9. George Formby
Next coming up on the list is George Formby.
I know you will picture him as a comedian in your mind, however, there's more to him than meets the eye.
Apart from being a comic, he also was a good ukulele and banjolele (Banjo Ukulele) player—and, he was very good at it.
It's sad that he's not with us anymore. Yes, the truth is that he only lived from 26 May 1904 to 6 March 1961—but what a player he was!
This might wonder you that he even became the highest-paid entertainer at that time. He was born in Wigan in the family of George Sr.—his father and got married to Martha Maria Salter.
When he married Martha, she was a 20-year old girl who used to perform in a hall.
But when did you start to play the Ukulele?
Well, it started in 1923, however, it is unknown what inspired him to do so. Rumor has it that he bought a uke in Manchester in exchange for 15 shillings. Before his songs were well received, he had a different name. He used John Willie's character at that time, but when he got some fame, he decided to have a stage name i.e. George Formby.
If you ever visit the Isle of Man, you can still find his beautiful statue holding a ukulele in his hand.
To give fans an insight into what he looked like and how he performed his comedy and played uke, Frank Skinner made a documentary titled 'Frank Skinner on George Formby'. It was released in 2011.
10. Julia Nunes
Julia Nunes is a singer, songwriter, and uses piano, guitar, ukulele, and melodica while recording her songs.
Nunes could be your next ukulele player to stay motivated just like she got encouragement from her family.
Yes, you read that right—she was born into a musical family based in NY.
Her album that goes by the name of 'Some Feelings' is a ukulele album containing a total of 11 tracks.
Although Nunes is not as famous as other professional ukulele players, you may try watching her videos to see if tracks on the album are worth your attention or not.
She has also participated in charity work in December 2008. She even sold her own hat at US$1,250.00 to offer support.
Ready to Become the Next Ukulele Player?
There you have it—the 10 best most famous ukulele players you must get inspiration from!
So, how are your ukulele skills going?
Good or just okay?
If this is your first time to ukuleles, you have to be patient as it takes some time to master the art. If you think that even after trying hard the results are not effective, it is probably because you're using an old-fashioned, poor-quality ukulele to learn.
We, therefore, suggest you invest in the best ukulele for beginners that are made of top mahogany and boast top-notch tonewood.
Need the best uke from a renowned brand?
Well, you can count on Kala's ukes.
If you have no idea about the ukuleles at all and their sizes, viz. soprano, tenor, or baritone, I suggest you refer to the beginner's guide to ukes that will give you peace of mind.
That's it for today. See you in the next one.
Get a UKE and Strum Like a Pro!
Don't miss out on the best Ukulele; rather, stay one step ahead and steal the deal. Also, keep in mind all the things we've mentioned above so you don't end up buying a piece of junk.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered the NFL as an expansion team in 1976 along with the Seattle Seahawks.
They played their first season as part of the AFC and then for their second year they switched to the NFC (it was a way for the Bucs and Seahawks to play every NFL team in just two years).
Today, the Buccaneers are situated in the South Division of the National Football Conference. Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets are sold for Raymond James Stadium located in Tampa, Florida. The stadium features a 103-foot pirate ship that fires cannons after every Bucs score.
The league was not very kind to its expansion teams in 1976. As a result the Tampa Bay Bucs lost their first 26 games. Their first win came on Dec. 11, 1977.
They defeated the New Orleans Saints, 33-14. Tampa's fortunes soon turned around and in 1979 the team reached the NFC Championship game but lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 9-0. The team was led by defensive lineman and future hall of famer Lee Roy Selmon.
The Bucs would return to the postseason two out of the next three years but from 1983 to 1996 the team failed to qualify for the postseason. During this period, the most wins the Tampa Bay Bucs schedule ever yielded was seven—nine times the team posted five or fewer wins.
In 1997, Tampa Bay Bucs tickets were sold for the playoffs again. In fact, the team would reach the postseason seven out of the next eleven seasons. During this period, the Bucs won Super Bowl XXXVII (2002)—the franchise's first NFL Championship.
The "Pewter Pirates" of this era were known for their stellar defense which featured linebacker Derrick Brooks, defensive end Simeon Rice, defensive tackle Warren Sapp, and defensive back Ronde Barber.
Head coach Tony Dungy built the team during his tenure (1996-2001) and his predecessor, coach Jon Gruden (2002-2008), got them over the hump and to the Super Bowl. Other prominent Bucs through the years include Mike Alstott, Warrick Dunn, Doug Williams, and Ricky Bell.

I landed in Bangalore at 5.30am, which was slightly later than anticipated.
Rather than spend the weekend in Bangalore, I decided to hop somewhere close by – Chennai.
After dropping my bags. And buying a green juice. I was back on another plane. A small propellor plane. Not my favourite.
It was only a 35 minute hop across the country to the east coast. My first time on the eastern coast of India and my first time in the state of Tamil Nadu.
Chennai is India's fourth biggest city (behind Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata) and is now a 400-sq-km conglomerate of urban villages. It is rather randomly the health capital of India – many people from across India come here for procedures.
I got a prepaid taxi from the airport (450 Rp, about £5). I'm staying at the southern end of the city, in the old neighbourhood of Mylapore – which means 'town of peacocks'.
The traffic was bad. It took about 40minutes. And felt a bit like being back in the horrific traffic of Bangalore. Maybe every Indian city is like this now…!
By the time I was at the hotel it was around 10am and luckily they gave me a room straight away, so I could dump my stuff and have a shower.
I wanted to head out to the large temple complex before it closed for lunch. So I got an uber! It wasn't far and cost me only 87 rupees. The hotel wanted to charge me 890 for the same journey…!
⁃	a huge water tank (like a lake) – and is dedicated to the state's most popular deity, Shiva.
The uber dropped me off next to the markets which lined all the streets around the temple. Selling all the usual temple parapenelia – flowers, flower garlands, Clay oil burners, bindis, leaves (cow food), coconuts and bracelets. All in the usual chaotic fashion of motorbikes and tuk tuks weaving between the people, along the narrow streets.
The hotel had told me that foreigners weren't allowed inside the temple. So I was planning on just walking around the edge. But I could see small tour groups of white people inside. So I went in. Perhaps they meant foreigners aren't allowed inside the buildings within the temple complex. I'm not sure!
Lots of small buildings. The roofs all covered in brightly coloured statues.
On opposite ends of the complex was a gate. This had a large tower on the top, of all the statues.
Lots of people were in the area, many sitting down on the floor, seemingly just people watching.
There was a continual noise playing. Not nice twinkly temple music. But a rather strange bonging noise.
In several places around, there were small tables which you could light your clay and wax burner.
There was even a shed full of cows. All with blue horns. Not sure if that has any significance. But they looked well looked after – they all had a lot of food.
After wandering around a few times. Being stopped along the way by people who wanted selfies. I headed back out into the chaos.
I wanted to walk to the beach. Roads are not made for walking in India. There might be a broken pavement for about 5 meters. Then nothing for ages. So you end up half walking on the road. On peoples front porch. Dodging parked (and moving!) vehicles. And is all a bit scary. A good tactic seems to be to follow behind someone else. Particularly for road crossing, weaving between all the moving tuk tuks and motorbikes and buses and cars.
The walk wasn't too exciting. Just through a neighbourhood area, various shops and cafes and mechanics.
I passed by San Thome cathedral. Strikingly white. With a large golden post next to it. The cathedral was built in the 16th century, then rebuilt in 1896. It survived the 2004 tsunami.
Behind the cathedral was a pathway leading down to the beach. Through an abandoned slum. There were quite a lot of very elderly homeless people sitting along the path. Completely surrounded by so much plastic rubbish.
The path lead out onto a road, which lined the coastline.
The tsunami hit here in 2004 and wiped out the slums along the beach. The government rebuilt some of the land into tall, ugly, concrete housing blocks.
Directly opposite, some cows hanging out on the sand.
After crossing the road, I walked along the sand.
I'm not sure what I expected. But it certainly wasn't this. Everywhere was dirty. Plastic absolutely everywhere. Almost more plastic than sand. You really had to watch every single step. There were a lot of faeces around. It was only after a few minutes that I realised they were human. Absolutely everywhere.
I was heading north, up the beach. And soon hit the fishermen's area.
The entire beach was full of plastic. Piles of nets everywhere. Boats lining the tide line. In addition to the rotting food. Other plastic waste. And human faeces.
On the road, along this section of the beach, small huts and stalls line the length of the road. Selling so much fish. Barracuda. Tuna. Snapper. Prawns. And baby sharks. So sad.
Just north of the fishermen was a lighthouse. And up from here the more 'recreational' area of the beach – where people were hanging out. But it was still just as dirty. Such a shame. I just cannot believe the volume of plastic rubbish.
From here, I was going to catch an Uber back to the hotel. But rather handily a tuk tuk driver drove past. I thought I would give it a go. The man seemed nice and seemed to agree on 100rupees, but then kept telling me that I didn't need to pay him and instead he wanted to learn English. So I started to get suspicious.
Then after about 10minutes, he stops and says that he wants to take me shopping. I say no. He insists. I say no. And we carry on. We were generally headed in the right direction, so I wasn't getting too worried.
Then we arrive at said shop. An expensive tourist shop full of the usual – silver things, fabric things, wooden things and scarfs. I bought nothing. Because I need nothing. And the tuk tuk man wasn't happy. But he eventually took me to the hotel.
Lesson learned. Just don't bother with the hassle. Uber was cheaper. Faster. No deviations. And was a nice and easy to book on the app. Game changer.
I haven't eaten since about 4pm England time yesterday. I had hoped to buy some street food whilst I was out, but didn't spot much around. So ended up having lunch at the hotel.
I ordered what I was told was local food. Which ended up being a large platter of beige things. Idli, dosa, vada, plus some new things – batter covered chilli, and some dough balls filled with vegetables. It was nice. But far too much – and not very healthy!
After lunch, I headed up onto the roof of the hotel. Amazing views over the city. And a nice pool. Which was too cold. I sat here for a while. Enjoying the warm.
I was far too tired for anything else the rest of the afternoon and had an early night.


A UN report released this week shows that despite global awareness of the proliferation of cybercrime and cyber-spying, many nations – including some of the world's most developed – suffer from severe deficiencies when it comes to cybersecurity. Furthermore, the study shows, there is a huge range of preparedness when it comes to the cybersecurity capabilities of the world's most powerful nations.

With apologies to Lin-Manuel Miranda, the newest work by Kylene Beers and Bob Probst comes at the perfect time for a "World Turned Upside Down." In an era of partisan news and standardized, high-stakes assessments, the authors suggest that our best chance of turning the tide is to build a generation of critical readers who not only probe text for accuracy but also make personal connections. We disrupt thinking when we encourage our readers to read text not only with fluency but also a heart bent toward personal reflection.
The book is laid out in three sections: The Readers We Want, The Framework We Use, and The Changes We Must Embrace. Each section provides a review of concepts found in their previous works, Notice and Note and Reading Non-Fiction, to consider how we might disrupt the way we think about the teaching of reading and guide our students think critically about a text. While much of the book targets schools facing state mandates for testing and ratings, there are takeaways for our independent school universe.
"When a right answer is most important, students come to believe their thoughts don't matter." (p. 19) This hits to the heart of exploring a text for meaning beyond comprehension and recall. In a world that requires flexible thinkers who can reach across a spectrum of perspectives, empowering learners with an array of strategies to build these skills is crucial. The authors suggest that opening student awareness of their own responses as well as the responses of others, based on individual life experience, is a learned skill. Responsible readers, who approach the text critically and beyond recall, are responsive readers.
Beers and Probst reiterate their Book, Head, Heart (BHH) framework as the centerpiece of disrupting thinking around reading. This strategy teaches readers to consider not only the context and contents of the text but also the intellectual and emotional responses to it. This strategy can be widely applied beyond the English/language arts classrooms as a way to engage critical thinking and self-reflection. This second section of the book also offers a quick rundown of highly-regarded strategies that open readers hearts and minds to explore deeply into text beyond the Lexile.
"To encourage and expect nothing more of students than unexamined statements of feelings is to encourage intellectual laziness." (p. 32) It is apparent that these authors are on a mission to promote a wise, and critical thinking democracy. With a publishing date of 2017, it seems clear that much of the mission here is in response to the current state of dialogue and division that has risen around the country. Regardless of party or clique, this book does offer practical and theoretical applications to open students to perspectives other than their own while at the same time building a solid foundation.
Part of this strategy is to disrupt the status quo of instruction and embrace educational change. They make no bones about it: disruptions are necessary to drive change. While this particular book's primary audience is teachers of reading, it has applicable lessons for all teacher-leaders who seek strategies and ideas to jumpstart critical thinking in their classrooms and schools.


Each year, more than 50 individuals who have lived through major events in history are invited to Crestwood Preparatory College to share their experiences and memories. Crestwood students take on the role of junior historians, by editing the digitally recorded interviews, which are subsequently made available on the school's website. To date, Crestwood students and their Teacher Scott Masters have published online over 200 interviews with World War II (WWII) veterans and Holocaust survivors (many of whom are the students' own grandparents).
The Crestwood Oral History Project is run by its creator Scott Masters, who teaches history and politics at Crestwood Preparatory College. The project began with the idea that people who have lived through major events in history should share their experiences by talking directly to students. Mr. Masters focused first on the WWII/Holocaust era as he believed it was important for members of that generation to speak to today's students while the opportunity was still present. With this is mind, Mr. Masters has made hundreds of contacts in that community.
The Crestwood Oral History Project is a community outreach initiative in which students interview people in the community and, when permission is granted, the interviews are posted online at www.crestwood.on.ca/ohp. Many of the interviews connect to issues that are relevant to Canadian culture and the larger context of human rights.
Bringing a personal element into the classroom is a big part of Mr. Masters's personal philosophy as a history teacher. He grew up having historical discussions with his grandfathers, and came to the realization in recent years that many of his students do not have that same kind of immediate contact because, in the case of WWII for example, most of his students' grandparents were too young to have been directly involved.
Mr. Masters has been working for several years on compiling a Historical Archive. This initiative came into being because of the numerous WWII veterans and Holocaust survivors who have spoken to his students.
Thanks to the generosity of those veterans and survivors, Mr. Masters and his students have been digitizing their photos and mementoes to ensure that their memories are kept alive as part of an intact historical document. These items, and the individual interviews that accompany them, help to illuminate the past and expose students to points of view and specific memories that they would not necessarily find in textbooks.
The wartime generation won't be able to be heard directly in the classroom much longer. Many of the senior citizens whom Mr. Masters and his students have interviewed have since passed away, while others can no longer visit because of health reasons. With this in mind, Mr. Masters has decided to bolster the project's archival approach, getting the youth involved in digitizing peoples' memories, along with recording their own family histories.
The Crestwood Oral History Project has evolved into something substantial from an idea that Mr. Masters carried around for a few years. The impact on the people involved varies, but for many senior citizens it has taken on a therapeutic character, allowing them to share and connect. For example, Len Rubinstein and Esther Bem spoke at Crestwood when this program first began, with the former participating right up to his 92nd birthday. Both have since passed away, and while Mr. Masters and his students miss them, they are happy that their lessons persist on the school's webpage. Both of their families have reached out from around the world to express their gratitude for the program. The interviews let people open up and they create a dialogue that can be life-changing.
Language and culture can be barriers, but as Toronto is a multicultural environment, students of various backgrounds have been able to break through. On many occasions people were interviewed for this project in their first languages by students fluent in those languages and then translations and overdubs were added. The project has also invited speakers from different cultures to the school to connect; for example, in 2010, Henry Chu spoke to many of Crestwood's Korean students. In a session conducted entirely in Korean, he discussed his role in the Korean War and his views on the present political situation.
Technology has also been challenging, for Mr. Masters in particular, but he has drawn on his students' talents, and they have flipped the classroom.
The Crestwood Oral History Project is Mr. Masters's initiative, but he is proud that it is being embraced by other faculty members. His fellow Grade 10 History teacher has students involved in the Oral History interviews. The Anthropology and Geography teachers are incorporating it as well; the former for a unit on genocide studies, and the latter for community interviews based on Toronto's multiculturalism.
The next evolution of the Oral History Project – already underway - involves students interviewing people from Toronto's many diverse communities.
Crestwood Preparatory College is a private school in Toronto, a member of the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario. Scott Masters is a Crestwood teacher who has taken the lead on, and developed, the Crestwood Oral History Project.

Bakersfield College announces groundbreaking for new learning center at Delano campus
March 15, 2022 / Kern Sol News
Bakersfield College's Delano campus expands with the groundbreaking of a learning center.
The learning center will include classrooms, office space, a library and designated spaces for student services.
Assemblymember Rudy Sala helped secure $14 million for the learning center in the 2021-2022 state budget. In total, Salas has secured approximately $22 million for projects, educational expansion, and workforce development at Bakersfield College, according to a news release.
"I am thrilled for the ground breaking of the new Learning Center at Bakersfield College, Delano campus," said Salas. "This innovative center will have long lasting impacts on our community serving generations of students and future leaders to come. Investing in our community makes the Valley and California stronger."
In 2013, Dr. Sonya Christian, then-president at Bakersfield College, launched the Rural Initiatives program, which aims to provide access to quality education for Kern County's socially, ethnically and geographically diverse students. Since then, BC's Rural Initiatives has increased access to courses and expanded student support services in Delano, McFarland, Wasco, Shafter, Arvin, Lamont, Lost Hills, and South Bakersfield.
"BC's Rural Initiatives team has worked hard to empower rural students by providing access to high-quality education, encouraging, supporting, and preparing these vital students to thrive in a rapidly changing world," said Chancellor Christian. "I am thankful for the continued advocacy of Assemblyman Rudy Salas, who always puts the Central Valley, our students, and our communities first. Salas continues to be a champion of education in these communities. His strong commitment and advocacy for the Central Valley has ensured that resources are effectively allocated to the communities in rural Kern County."
While the majority of Bakersfield College students are from the city of Bakersfield, the second highest contributor of
students is Delano.


Real Madrid has been here before. Wolfsburg hasn't.
But that doesn't mean the the teams' UEFA Champions League quarterfinal series is over before it has kicked off.
Woflsburg hosts Real Madrid on Wednesday at Volkswagen Arena, looking to preserve its chances of reaching the Champions League semifinals for the first time in history. Real Madrid, 10-time European champion, wants to extend its winning streak to seven games in all competitions and dash Wolfsburg's hopes as early as possible.
Wolfsburg must contend with Real Madrid's galaxy of stars, but none shine brighter in the Champions League than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar is the all-time leader in Champions League goals with 91 and is setting the pace in this season's competition with 13.

MEDIA MONDAY / TED KOPPEL'S DIRE WARNING
ANOTHER SNEAK ATTACK--On this anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, it offers the opportunity to discuss the real possibility of another catastrophic "sneak attack" on our nation. In this New York Times bestselling investigation, famed broadcast journalist Ted Koppel reveals that a major cyberattack on America's power grid is not only possible but likely, that it would be devastating, and that the United States is shockingly unprepared. Does that sound familiar to 1941?
Imagine a blackout lasting not days, but weeks or months. Tens of millions of people over several states are affected. For those without access to a generator, there is no running water, no sewage, no refrigeration or light. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Devices we rely on have gone dark. Banks no longer function, looting is widespread, and law and order are being tested as never before.
It isn't just a scenario. A well-designed attack on just one of the nation's three electric power grids could cripple much of our infrastructure—and in the age of cyberwarfare, a laptop has become the only necessary weapon. Several nations hostile to the United States could launch such an assault at any time. In fact, as a former chief scientist of the NSA reveals, China and Russia have already penetrated the grid. And a cybersecurity advisor to President Obama believes that independent actors—from "hacktivists" to terrorists—have the capability as well. "It's not a question of if," says Centcom Commander General Lloyd Austin, "it's a question of when."
And yet, as Koppel makes clear, the federal government, while well prepared for natural disasters, has no plan for the aftermath of an attack on the power grid. The current Secretary of Homeland Security suggests keeping a battery-powered radio.
In the absence of a government plan, some individuals and communities have taken matters into their own hands. Among the nation's estimated three million "preppers," we meet one whose doomsday retreat includes a newly excavated three-acre lake, stocked with fish, and a Wyoming homesteader so self-sufficient that he crafted the thousands of adobe bricks in his house by hand. We also see the unrivaled disaster preparedness of the Mormon church, with its enormous storehouses, high-tech dairies, orchards, and proprietary trucking company – the fruits of a long tradition of anticipating the worst. But how, Koppel asks, will ordinary civilians survive?
With urgency and authority, one of our most renowned journalists examines a threat unique to our time and evaluates potential ways to prepare for a catastrophe that is all but inevitable.

A content marketer has to contend with constant, lightening-fast competing messages. No matter what field you serve, your audience has thousands of other messages competing for their attention and action.
This may feel overwhelming, lead to fatigue, and exhaust you to the point of not trying.
Don't give up yet. There are five simple rules you can follow to ensure your messages will be the ones that do get through. Most of them concern something so imperceptible that we don't even think about it: information design.
Information design, in this case, is about how the human eyes perceive the written word. Depending on how you arrange text on the page, your reader's brain will make a millisecond decision about whether to keep reading.
Which message are you more likely to read?
Drive Motor Trend's Car of the Year, the all-new Volkswagen Passat.
We respond to verbs more than nouns because verbs mean doing something. And it's usually something we like doing.
Most clients are going to ask you to write more, not less. I've led user experience testing, and I can tell you most people don't read. They skim, and if they find content they want, then they will read. Even then, they can only take in so much.
Once there are more than 14 words in a sentence, readers' comprehension drops below 90 percent. (There are 15 words in that sentence).
If you use more than 14 words in a sentence, your reader's comprehension drops. (14 words).
You tell me which sentence was easier for you to read and comprehend.
When the human eye skims over a block of text, the brain is quickly tallying a cost-benefit analysis. "Should I bother reading? Will I learn anything new? Is this more important than that new episode of "Modern Family"?
When you create blocks of text, you create blockades to your readers' feeling comfortable with plowing ahead. Content marketing, for the most part, is supposed to be fun. Don't make it feel like reading a college textbook.
Reading out loud gives you a different perspective on your writing, and allows you to hear your voice in the head of your reader. Ask yourself, "Would I want to read this?" If not, then you probably need to cut somewhere.
If you can check off all three boxes, you've been successful.
What readability standards do you follow when creating content and designing information?
Special thanks to Ann Wylie of Wylie Communications, who taught me many of these statistics.


If you are a product developer, we might just have the right technology module for you. We have a huge range of IOT (Internet of Things) embedded network technology, in the form of Network Processor Units (NPU) modules. These modules are designed to augment any existing physical product range, providing it with IP connectivity and allow users to monitor and control it via the LAN or Internet. The NPU modules essentially allow the transmission of Data, Audio and Video (DAV) over standard Ethernet infrastructure.Need to manage multiple NPU modules? Not a problem. That's where the Unified Convergence (UC) Platform that we have created comes in.
To implement this UC platform, Stream-Plus provides our UCX Framework which developers can easily make use of and implement customized systems, or a range of network based products with very little development time required. Any system fundamentally consists of a SYSTEM BUS and a FIELD BUS on which all devices are attached to. We have the protocol to govern both the SYSTEM Bus and FIELD Bus devices.

Shearman & Sterling is advising Greece's Eurobank Ergasias ("Eurobank") on the acquisition of Alpha Bank's Branch in Bulgaria ("Alpha Bank Bulgaria") by Eurobank Bulgaria ("Postbank"), its subsidiary in Bulgaria ("Transaction"). The parties have reached a preliminary agreement on the Transaction. The Transaction is expected to close by the end of 2015 and is subject to execution of final transaction documentation as well as customary conditions and the necessary approvals by authorities. This is the first consolidation of its kind in the Balkan market. Shearman & Sterling is acting as transaction counsel to Eurobank.
The Transaction has a volume of approximately €664 million and covers the entire banking operations of Alpha Bank Bulgaria, which consist of deposits worth €254m and gross loans worth €410m, as well as a network of 83 retail branches in the country. The acquisition is fully aligned with the restructuring plans for Alpha Bank and Eurobank, as approved by the European Commission in 2014. The commission specifies, among other things, that each bank should focus its operations on core markets only. As part of an earlier bailout agreement, Greek lenders committed to restructuring their operations, selling off assets held in the Balkans and focusing on their domestic market.
With the acquisition, Postbank is expected to strengthen its market position in the Bulgarian banking sector and expand its customer base in both the retail and corporate business banking segments. Following the completion, it will become the fourth-largest bank in Bulgaria ranked by deposits and loans, as well as a network of more than 200 locations through the whole country.
This acquisition underscores Shearman & Sterling's commitment to its clients in Greece - the firm has represented the issuers or the underwriters in most of the international and cross-border equity and debt offerings by Greek issuers.
The Shearman & Sterling team was led by partner Apostolos Gkoutzinis (London-Capital Markets) and included counsel Kolja Stehl (London/Frankfurt-Financial Institutions Advisory & Financial Regulatory) and Mathias Stöcker (Frankfurt-Antitrust). Associates Nicholas Withers (London-Mergers & Acquisitions) and Hartmut Häselbarth (Frankfurt-Public Commercial Law) advised on the transaction with trainee Theodora Dimitrova (London-Mergers & Acquisitions).

About General Moly
General Moly is a U.S.-based molybdenum mineral development, exploration and mining company listed on the NYSE MKT and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GMO. The Company's primary asset, an 80% interest in the Mt. Hope Project located in central Nevada, is considered one of the world's largest and highest grade molybdenum deposits. Combined with the Company's wholly-owned Liberty Project, a molybdenum and copper property also located in central Nevada, General Moly's goal is to become the largest primary molybdenum producer in the world.
Molybdenum is a metallic element used primarily as an alloy agent in steel manufacturing. When added to steel, molybdenum enhances steel strength, resistance to corrosion and extreme temperature performance. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, molybdenum is used in catalysts, especially for cleaner burning fuels by removing sulfur from liquid fuels, and in corrosion inhibitors, high performance lubricants and polymers.

Nigeria hosts global tourism meeting June 4
May 26, 2018 Blueprint News 0
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the stage is now set for the 61st edition of the UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Commission for Africa (CAF) meeting scheduled for June 4 to 6 in Abuja.
The minister gave the assurances on Friday through his Special Assistant, Segun Adeyemi, in Benin, Edo state, when he paid a courtesy/promotional visit to the state Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
"Your Excellency, with the support of many stakeholders, I can boldly say that we are ready to host a very successful meeting. The various committees and sub-committees that we have put together to prepare forthe summit, are doing a great job. We will not disappoint," he said.
Mohammed said Benin City, being a repository of a rich culture, cannot be ignored in the preparation for the global tourism meeting, hence the decision to visit the city as part of the ongoing nationwide advocacy tour during the meeting.
He said the meeting will afford the country the unique opportunity to expose her rich culture to the rest of the world and explore the theme: "Tourism Statistics: A Catalyst for Development", to generate the much-needed statistics for the development of the tourism sector in Nigeria.
"For Nigeria, this is a great opportunity. In addition to the socio-economic gains, the event will put Nigeria, and the nation's tourism industry in particular, on the world map, attract foreign research experts and promote the necessary network that will form the basis for future cooperation.
"Nigeria will also get a rare opportunity to showcase itself to the world: Its tourist attractions, its rich culture, as well as its music and films, which have become the toast of the world", the Minister said.
In his remarks, Obaseki said the state government believed in the ability of tourism to significantly contribute to the economic development of the nation in general, and noted that Edo has so much to show the world.
"As it relates to the UNWTO CAF conference, as a state, just like you explained, we believe that we have the greatest tourism potentials", he added.

It amazes me how many CEO's, directors and business owners have little or a very poor presence on their digital channels, particularly LinkedIn which is your own piece of professional real estate.
Too many CEO's are leaving their personal & company branding in the hands of the marketing team. Why? Laziness, lack of know-how, time restraints (which we all have) or just a lack of understanding of the importance of taking control of your online visibility.
This Is your brand reputation we are talking about here peeps. If your profile is poor, how can you expect your team to have great profiles? You must lead by example. Your LinkedIn profile, in particular, is a projection of your image to your team, your clients, your suppliers, your future clients, and bosses.
I have formed an opinion of a CEO or senior manager purely based on their LinkedIn profile. If you don't care about the image you are projecting for yourself, that reflects on the image you project for your company and how people see you.
Look at my LinkedIn page and feed as an example of activity. You need to be consistent and you need to take control of your personal brand online.
Trends in the US show that companies want to hire people that aren't afraid to have a profile and showcase their expertise, at all levels and this starts with the C-suite. So, if you are looking for new opportunities then your overall social media profile is especially vital.
Another key point is that you must be active and aware of what is being said about you online. Do you know what your marketing & PR department are saying about you, tagging you in, pitching you for? What about the reviews, photos, and conversations going on without your business being highlighted! It is important for you to control your Brand so you can command and control your online presence.
Richard Branson, Janine Allis, Gary V, Lorna Jane Clarkson, Lisa Messenger to name a handful are instantly recognizable as leaders in their businesses. Their online presence has been carefully honed in social media, blogs and other media. Their high levels of name recognition can be attributed in large part to the effort these thought leaders have put into building their public personas.
Not convinced, then here are even more reasons why you need to control your online brand.
According to Forbes, an eMarketer report reveals that 77% of buyers are more likely to buy from a company if the CEO uses social media, while 82% trust the company more.
A study by Social Media Today shows that authenticity on the part of your CEO's blog posts is more important than strategically crafting what to tell the audience. Those business stories get traction as your audience relates to them and they show you as a real person who experiences what we all do every day.
And finally, it's an opportunity to build trust. Just one-in-five CEOs use a social media account, according to Hubspot. Those that do engage on social media have a unique opportunity to generate what even the priciest marketing campaign can't guarantee—emotional relationships with customers. Bottom line, to all your CEO's, is that having an online presence can contribute in a positive way to your company bottom line. So, what are you waiting for?
"....Shows your credibility" What's that?


SWBR being honored with the Merit Award for the State University of New York College at Brockport Liberal Arts Building.
Rochester, NY SWBR Architects was recognized by the Rochester chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) with a Merit Award for the State University of New York College at Brockport Liberal Arts Building. The Design Awards encourage excellence in architectural design to make the public more aware of the potential of the human-made environment and to honor the architect, owner and builder of significant projects. The college's new three-story, 61,000 s/f LEED Gold Liberal Arts Building opened last fall and the team was honored at the annual AIA Rochester Awards ceremony in June.
The $29.3 million facility serves as the new home of Brockport's departments of English, History, Modern Languages and Cultures, Philosophy, and Women and Gender Studies. Located on the south side of campus, to the east of Drake Memorial Library, the building features a tiered 200-seat auditorium, two 70-seat divisible classrooms, three 35-seat classrooms and two 25-seat seminar rooms.
It also features a gallery that houses the E.E. Cummings collection, artist-made benches that feature ash wood cleared from the building site, original artwork by regional artists and exterior balconies.
The purpose of the design was to create a building that was an impetus for enhancing the four core areas established by the college to obtain optimal student success and national recognition.
The team was focused on designing the building to maximize the experience of learning environments and quality of place, as well as providing academic engagement. SWBR worked closely with the State University Construction Fund and the College at Brockport to create the desired mix of classroom sizes, teaching/learning styles and flexibility. The team recognized the synergies of the chosen site (located across the street from the Tuttle Complex) and how it related to the four core areas. Studying the pedestrian traffic flow allowed the team to develop collision spaces along internal streets, where faculty and students can informally gather and engage as an extension of the formal learning environment.
Special features — such as a natural landscape with integrated bio-retention system, natural and artificial sun shading techniques, bird-friendly glazing and furniture made from trees that were on the building site — also helped the Liberal Arts Building earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification.

Free Tips for Real Success
I have spent a career connecting people and opportunity. These 101 Tips capture the essence of a lifetime of creating powerful and permanent business relationships. But they will do you no good unless you read them and then take action to implement the same. Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck-E-Cheese wrote a recent book entitled "Finding the Next Steve Jobs." It it he makes this strong observation:
"Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference."
Well- I am asking you to get out of the shower, read these tips and begin implementing them TODAY. You may be saying to yourself, Dave – that's easy for you to say. You have 25,000 people in your network. Let me share with you my secret: It has been simply a matter of creating a daily habit to connect with people and then follow up — and doing so simply One Day at a time One Contact at a time.
I am reminded of a favorite story. While flying within the Arctic Circle, a female bush pilot encountered bad weather. She had no option but to crash-land her plane. With no means of transportation, she was desperate to get to a place of safety. Armed with a few supplies from the wreckage of the plane, she began to hike her way out. The nearest outpost was some 600 miles away. She knew the only way to survive was to make it to this station, on foot. Determined, and with dwindling supplies, bad weather, dangerous conditions and even frozen ground, she walked the 600 miles arriving at her destination. When asked by the people in the hospital how she was able to overcome the brutal conditions and walk the 600 miles, her response was simple but deeply instructional. "I didn't walk 600 miles. I walked one mile, six hundred times."
The same is true with building a powerful, actionable business network. You do it one day at a time, one contact at a time and in a year you will look back and find you have added 1000 new people to your network and you will be happy you made the effort.

Whenever you're trying something new, it's best to use as many familiar tools as possible. End users are less likely to be confused, adoption will be quicker, and chances are you'll see fewer silly mistakes. Which is why we'd recommend any Avid house take a look at Avid's cloud tools as their first option for remote editing and approvals.
Media Composer | Cloud Remote has already proved popular in journalistic circles. It allows reporters in the field to log in to Media Composer over the internet, and combine their locally stored footage with media held in central storage back at base. Multiple editors can collaborate on a project in real time, so teams in the field can work seamlessly with producers back at base to get footage ready for air.
Editors in Media Composer | Cloud Remote can combine local and central footage in the same timeline. Cloud Remote intelligently manages uploads and downloads of the necessary footage in the background, and you can even submit a H.264 proxy version of your footage for approval, so it's being reviewed and signed off before the day's footage has even finished uploading.
For larger workgroups and more demanding workflows, Avid offer MediaCentral | Cloud UX. This browser-based interface does what it says on the tin – gives remote workers access to a full MediaCentral environment, so they can edit projects, review them and publish them, all without needing to set foot in HQ.
However, giving a producer access to Cloud UX doesn't mean they can run wild through your facility's Avid environment. User licences for Cloud UX come with four levels of access – View, Browse, Edit and Full – and you can assign the correct permissions to any client or collaborator who's connecting remotely, so they never see any applications or storage volumes that they shouldn't.
But what about Adobe users?
Well, MediaCentral does offer some support for Premiere Pro and After Effects projects. However, if you'd prefer to steer clear of Avid, you could try Strawberry, an asset management system we've praised before. Strawberry has a robust proxy workflow that makes it easier for editors and VFX artists to work with media on storage in various locations, and an on-set editing tool, Preditor, that allows you to assemble a shot list or rough cut on location and send it back to base, where Strawberry will automatically link it to hi-res versions of the assets you need, wherever they're stored.
Another good bet is IPV's Curator. Originally conceived as an asset management solution – and a particularly effective one for anyone struggling to manage media in an Adobe workflow – it also enables proxy workflows that let editors at different sites access each other's media for more efficient project assembly. And because everyone is working with proxies, an edit can progress quickly and be shared easily, even in areas with less than stellar connectivity.
To save even more time, pair Curator with ContentAgent from our friends at ROOT6 Technology. Once an edit is completed, editors can use ContentAgent's direct API integration to automate tasks like exporting content in different codecs for different platforms, so they themselves can get on with the next project.
But let's say you're not looking for something this involved. Maybe you just want clients in one place to be able to comment on footage that's being edited in another, without giving them access to your back-end systems or encouraging them to involve themselves too much in the editing process. In that case, take a look at Antrica.
Antrica's range of IP cameras, encoders and decoders allows you to share a live H.264 stream of your timeline output with a client, which they can then view and annotate in real time, providing live feedback to an editor. We've known clients to combine this functionality with a live IP camera in the edit suite and one at the client's office, so the editor can ask questions about any feedback, and turn around a new version while the client waits.
Another option here is Make.TV, an online playout service developed by ex-Avid technicians. The service allows you to capture feeds from cameras, encoders and online sources, and use a browser-based interface to route the various signals in real time, whether you want to publish them live to social media, or connect them to your traditional broadcast network. This is a powerful way to give clients quick, no-frills access to a final cut, which they can then stream on any device, regardless of location.
But what about image quality?
Until recently, one of the main barriers to the wide adoption of remote workflows in post-production was the fact that encoding, transporting and decoding compressed footage meant you'd lose vital colour data. Now, Streambox have pioneered a solution that ensures data streams retain their original colour data, making remote viewing colour-accurate grading a reality.
How does it work? The key to Streambox's success is the ACT-L5 codec, which handles multiple popular colour profiles all the way up to 12-bit, 4:4:4 RGB. ACT-L5 offers more efficient, higher quality encoding than other options, improving the speed of both encoding and file transfer, and reducing the processing load on your systems, so it's easier to work in the field. Streambox use Low Delay Multi-Path Protocol to balance the load of your transfer between available network paths, giving you the highest possible transport rates – enough to support realtime collaboration with minimal latency. The result of all this is that they're currently Netflix's choice for remote editing and grading approval viewings between the UK and California.
Can't have your footage leave your facility?
This doesn't necessarily mean you're out of luck. We've worked with clients whose stringent data security agreements meant that footage couldn't be stored in the cloud or on a third party's storage. However, they needed to grade ultra high resolution versions of a project, and didn't have the capability to do it in-house. We were able to use a Dark Fibre connection to link their storage to workstations at a nearby DI screening room, where they could perform real time remote grading over an encrypted connection, without the project files ever leaving their original storage volume.
There are a variety of solutions for remote editing, grading and approvals, whether you want a vendor-specific solution or are looking to build a hardware-based workflow of your own.

Glenn Beck had on Rob Kampia of the Marijuana Policy Project to discuss the proposal to decriminalize pot possession in California and to use the revenues to pay down the state's budget deficit.
Now, Beck has already wished aloud that we could kick California out of the Union, so no doubt this just adds to his angst.
But if you'll notice: One person in this conversation was calm, reasonable, had an abundance of facts at hand, and actually made pretty good sense. The other person was incoherent, meandering, silly, made a lot of irrelevant observations from outer space, and relied on dumb stereotypes and non-facts.
And Glenn Beck was not the former. On top of that, his nonstop sneering at Kampia made him look like a real sphincter.

Microsoft Outlook is probably the most used email manager, because of it's easy-to-use features and multitude functions. Developed by Microsoft, the program has a variety of features that help professionals keep their emails organised and thus, work more efficiently.
Outlook is used to manage email and acts as a personal agenda to record appointments and meetings. It also allows you to manage several email accounts from the same mailbox and customise tasks. Although it is a very popular program, there are some hidden functions you might not know about.
To organise a large volume of emails you can group them in one place by topic. To do this, go to the View tab and check the "Show as conversations" option. Once there, click the "Organise by" option and see the configuration options in the menu.
If you receive emails that you do not want to see or your inbox is spamming, you can block the sender's mail by going to the Home tab and selecting Junk Email with a right click on Properties. There you can specify which is the email address from which you do not want to receive emails.
This function allows you to manage emails and create rules that automatically organise incoming emails. From the Home tab, under the Move option, go to the Rules drop-down menu and create your own rule according to specific criteria: sender, recipient, size, etc.
Very useful to move messages quickly and easily. This tool allows you to create shortcuts to any option and reduces the repetition of tasks.
If you receive a large number of emails per day and do not want to receive notifications for each of them, it is best to set notifications for important notifications only. To do this, deactivate all alerts on the desktop and select a specific alert in Mail Options.
Pressing the Ctrl + Shift + N keys simultaneously will display a "Post it" that can be placed anywhere on the screen for important messages or tasks.
If you need to send emails with the same content over and over, you can create email templates to avoid typing it out each time. You can create multiple templates and save them to use when required.
You can delete messages one by one, or you can use the Clean tool to automatically delete several emails. It deletes messages that have already been included in others, which will help you save space and keep your mail organised.
If there are parts of text that you repeat in your emails, you can save them as a Quick Element, making them readily available for future emails. Simply highlight the text in the editor window, and then press ALT + F3, give it a name and save it. You can also access this feature via the Insert tab.
Another quick way to find a specific email is to use the Filter Email option. Go the Home tab and under the Filter Email drop-down menu you can select different preferences for filtering: unread, this week, by categories, important, with attachments, etc. You can set more search options by selecting More Filters in the drop-down menu.
