The Story of a Leaky New Roof!!!
The roof on my old mobile home was old and weathering and the asphalt shingles were loosing some of the surface aggregate with each rainfall.
The roof only had one minor leak which was above the swamp cooler, and then only during heavy downpour.
I got three bids for a new roof in the spring and early summer of 2011. I accepted the second lowest bid over the lowest one in that the second lowest bidder had such a good reputation with my neighbor who lived two doors down.
I called the roofer several times over the summer to see if he could tell me approximately when he would be here to do the job, and if he could give me warning a few days in advance so that I may disconnect the swamp cooler and remove it's water supply line to saftey - all to no avail.
The roofing crew showed up totally unannounced on November 3, 2011 after cold weather had already set in, and finished the job by the middle of that afternoon. I paid the fee and the roofer said that roof should be good for thirty years!
During the first winter of 2011-2012, I got a little water into a couple living room windows, but I could not relate it to the roof, so said nothing.
The first summer of 2012, the roof did not leak from rainwater.
The second winter of 2012-2013, there were water drips in a dozen places inside my house, and outside here and there, icicles brown with roofing tar were coming out undneath the shingles at the eaves. Apparently, ice was building up on top of the shingles at the eaves and damming up the meltwater from above, causing it to backflow underneath the shingles.
Summer of 2013, the roofer came back and installed 'ice guard' under the shingles around the eaves. Some of you may know this as 'ice and water'.
This was the first 'remedy', and in my opinion, cheap, piddling, and ineffective.
The third winter of 2013-2014, nothing was changed, the roof still leaked in all the usual places.
NOTE that this roof only leaked from ice buildup during the first few winters.
It did not leak from rain water until more recently.
Summer of 2014, the roofer came back and removed the vented ridge to eliminate that as a possibility.
Solid unvented ridge was installed.
This was the second 'remedy', and in my opinion, cheap, piddling, and ineffective.
At that time, the roofer said he may have to start over from scratch with another new roof.
Winter of 2014-2015, nothing was changed, the roof still leaked in all the usual places.
I exchanged E-Mails (April 4, 2015) with the roofer's then secretary to let her know that the roof still leaked. I asked her to tell the roofer that it was time to start over from scratch with the new roof when the weather warmed. We had already discussed that as noted above. I asked her to ask the roofer if maybe a steel roof would be more appropriate and that I would be willing to pay the difference between asphalt shingles and a steel roof. She said she would tell him.
Spring of 2015, the roof also started leaking from rain water. I called the roofer to invite him over to see. He said, "No, I trust you". He said he would start over with another new roof and we talked about maybe installing a steel roof instead of the asphalt shingles. The roofer said he should be able to make asphalt shingles work.
I called him again in October 2015 saying I though I would have heard from him before now. He said, "I am hoping for a few more weeks of good weather".
He did not show up, and I called him again in June 2016 to find that he had "no recollection" of this project, "drawing a blank", he said. He said to call the office and leave a message there which I did, but of course, still no response.
So - the "starting over with a new roof" was a probably a lie designed to run out the 'statute of limitations', which is four years in this case. That worked, too, because I trusted him to do what he said!
I went to the Building Department at city hall and told this story to their secretary. She said that they could do nothing.
She looked up my address and found that the roofer did not get a building permit which is required for jobs of more that $3,000. Also, since no building permit was obtained, the job did not get inspected by the city building inspector.
Had it been inspected, the inspector would have found that the exhaust vent pipe for the gas hot water heater was not attached to the hot water heater.
I assume this happened when the roofers re-installed the roof jack and no one went inside the hot water heater compartment to properly attach the vent pipe.
The gas hot water heater had been venting the products of combustion directly inside the house for an extended period of time before I found out.
This vent pipe was properly attached some time earlier when I replaced the water flex pipes to the hot water heater.
I really should have 'read between the lines' when my neighbor so highly recommened this roofer. He just had installed his second roof in seven years on the same house by this same roofer.
I am out my money as there is nothing more that can be done. I will get more estimates and start over on this roof project next summer.
In the mean time, in order to protect the interior of my house and it's contents from the leaks, I have to go up onto the roof and shovel off the snow after each snowfall.
This is not something anyone in their mid seventies should be doing!
Ths shingles on a sound roof should shed water. In other words, water should stay on top of the shingles and run off the roof at the eaves AND drip from over the top side of the shingles.
The new asphalt shingles are made of a tar like substance with an aggregate on the top side. Other components used in the construction of a new roof also have a tar like substance, and sealing tar is also used in various places.
Water that leaks down through the new (or newer) shingles will become discolored by the above mentioned tar.
One of the best indicators of where the water has traversed is the placement and color of the icicles which it leaves behind in freezing weather.
In the photos below, icicles can be seen which come out from underneath the shingles and roof sheating. Some of these icicles are discolored by the roofing tar, which indicates the water flowed underneath the shinles.
After a time, the flow of water inderneath the shingles washes out all the free tar, and the icicles do not take on any discoloration.
Once one has seen a number of pictures of drips from the ceiling or icicles in their various conditions, one has pretty much seen them all. Because of this I took fewer photographs after the roof started leaking in earnest during the second winter.
I only took the photographs to convince the roofer that he was not done with the roof!
Some of the drips inside the window frames do not lend themselves well to photography. Drips inside the north bedroom window, and one living room window, and both kitchen windows fall into this category.
The following group of photographs have been taken after the second, and last, of the two 'remedies', which was replacement of the vented ridge.
Note that as this is written, the roof still leaks in ALL the places observed in ALL the photographs in the seperate sections below.
This is what the roofer left me with!

I put a sponge inside the container to deaden the sound of drips in ths still of the night.

I had to fasten a couple wood slats accros this panel to prevent it's collapse.
This is what I get for not getting the snow shoveled off my roof in a timely manner!
Drips from the moulding and door frame from water coming down inside the wall above the door.
One drip looks much like another, and after the first winter, I got tired of photographing the same thing over and over again and took fewer pictures.
From inside the window looking to the outside.
These icicles are running flat against the window. They are formed from water which came out underneath the shingles and roof sheating and coming down flat against the siding panels.
There are also drips inside the house from inside the top of the window frame and dripping onto the bottom window sill.
A drip coming out of the kitchen ceiling.

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) belong to the nightshade family. They are exceptionally well adapted to our temperate climate, though they do not tolerate frost and the water demand is relatively high. An even distribution of rainfall is needed to achieve high yields. With sufficient rainfall (>160l/m²) and good distribution in the months from May to August, yields of up to 50t/ha (approx. 20t/acre) can be expected.
Healthy seed potatoes and loose soil are important.
Supply sufficient potassium and phosphorus in autumn and early in spring.
Use suitable nitrogen fertilizers before forming ridges.
Potash fertilization in autumn or low chloride NPKs in spring.
Potatoes do not prefer any particular soil type. They thrive in both sandy and heavy soils. The best soils for potatoes are high in organic matter and loose soils with sufficient water retention capacity. Depending on the variety and purpose (starch, table or seed potatoes), this crop is very adaptable. They are planted early in the year (end of March to mid-April) and the soil should be as dry as possible. The seedbed should be finely crumbly and dry to a depth of 10-15cm. The ideal plant density at 75cm row width and 40-44cm placement distance in the row is 30,000-33,000 plants/ha(12,150-13,360 plants/acre).
Nitrogen fertilization is mainly responsible for the yield and has the highest influence on quality. A good nitrogen supply promotes tuber growth in particular. The first dose of nitrogen should be applied before ridges are formed, allowing good incorporation into the soil. Potatoes need nitrogen very early to help build up foliage. Approximately 90% of the absorbed nitrogen is needed before flowering. Late application of nitrogen or it being available too late leads to a decrease in starch content. Potassium is the nutrient with the second highest effect on the yield. Starch content in tubers is directly influenced by potassium fertilization. In addition to the amount of nutrients, the form of the fertilizer plays an important role. Potatoes are chloride-sensitive plants; chloride prevents starch in the leaves from shifting to the tubers. Chloride-containing potassium fertilizers used in spring can reduce the starch content. Phosphorus is an essential element in both tuber formation and secondary tuber growth. As an energy source, phosphorus promotes starch formation and its transfer to the tubers. After flowering, potatoes require a considerable amount of magnesium. Foliar fertilizers (L.A.T SUPREMO products) containing magnesium can be added to protect the plants.
The table shows uptake and extraction per tonne of starch potato yield. A potato yield of 50t/ha takes up 220kg N/ha. If 50kg N/ha is supplied from the soil and the N-supply from a leguminous intermediate crop of 30kg N/ha is added, 140kg N/ha fertilizer would still need to be applied. The harvest removes 140kg N/ha from the field.
Like all root crops, potatoes react very strongly to phosphorus and potash fertilization. As a rule, the base fertilization is done before the potatoes are planted. An application before the formation of the ridges supports homogeneous mixing with the soil and promotes rapid absorption through the roots.
A large proportion of the fertilizer is spread before potatoes are planted. A NPK compound fertilizer is best, providing all required phosphorus and potassium and most of the nitrogen (do not use chloride-containing K-forms). Nitrogen can be ammonium-enriched, via nitrogen-sulphur forms, and added as urea, where 100-120kg/ha of nitrogen would be adequate.
Two to four weeks after planting or up to the four to eight leaf stage, a second fertilization with pure nitrogen is applied to starch potatoes since the need for leaf growth is considerably higher than with table potatoes. Depending on the first application, 50-70kg N/ha should be applied at the second fertilization and it must be rapidly effective (nitrate nitrogen, NAC 27 N). Any delay in N availability will reduce starch content.

Modification of contracts: The "rebus sic stantibus" clause
What is the "rebus sic stantibus" clause?
Our high court issued a ruling on March 6, 2020, specifically STS 153/2020 in which the Supreme Court failed to clarify the contractual disputes on the "rebus sic stantibus" clause.
We must take into account that both the doctrine and the jurisprudence have integrated this clause, which is not integrated or regulated in the legislation, but deals with the search for the restoration of the balance between the contracting parties devised by the doctrine.
Therefore, this clause is a mechanism or mode of reestablishing the balance of benefits, which is applicable to contracts, when due to circumstances difficult to foresee, unforeseen and supervening, it is totally impossible to fulfill the obligation.
The high court has designed and implemented a new doctrine of the "rebus sic stantitubus" clause applicable to contracts produced by the fatal economic crisis of 2008. The implementation of this clause is of vital importance to overcome unexpected and unforeseeable crises and situations , such as the current coronavirus crisis.
It should be noted that the clause under analysis does not have termination, termination or termination effects, it only has modifying effects of the contracts, to try to balance the provisions between the contracting parties. In other words, trying to compensate for the imbalance between the weakest part and the strongest part of the contractual relationship, in a context produced by unforeseeable and extraordinary circumstances at the time of the conclusion of the contract and at the time of the perfection of the contract between the subjects bound by its compliance.
In case of being affected by an extraordinary situation, the owner should contact a specialist lawyer as quickly as possible.
Is there a new approach by the doctrine?
The new doctrinal approach of the different judgments issued by the Supreme Court, recognizes that an extraordinary economic situation such as that produced recently by Covid-19 or a great economic recession, may be considered extraordinary and unpredictable causes that can alter the agreed conditions by contract.
It should be noted that the judgment of the Supreme Court dated June 30, 2014, on the effects of contracts in the application of the "rebus sic stantibus" clause was issued in a framework after the economic crisis of 2008 and in a framework prior to the health and economic crisis derived from Covid-19.
Next, we highlight the effects of the judgment issued by the STS on June 30, 2014.
"… The current economic crisis, with deep and prolonged effects of economic recession, can be openly considered as a phenomenon of the economy capable of generating a serious disorder or mutation of circumstances and, therefore, altering the bases on which the initiation and the development of contractual relationships had been established… ". "… It should be noted that the application of the clause, strictly speaking, does not imply a break or singularity with respect to the preferential rule of loyalty to the given word ('pacta sunt servanda'), nor does it imply a breach or maintenance of contracts … ".".
What does the new sentence issued on March 6, 2020 introduce?
Instead, the new ruling 156/2020 issued by the STS on March 6, 2020, qualifies and outlines the details of the previous ruling, creating a precedent in the health crisis produced by the coronavirus pandemic.
It should be noted that the most outstanding peculiarity of this last sentence is that it differentiates the application of the "rebus sic stantibus" clause between long and short-term contracts. What this last sentence intends, more than the modification of what is established in previous jurisprudence, is the introduction of explanatory notes capable of solving the legal gaps in a doctrine not anchored to current legislation.
In summary, it gives preference and effectiveness in the application of the clause in long-term contracts and rejects the application for short-term contracts.
"The change in these characteristics that, under the premises established by jurisprudence, could generate an assumption of application of the "rebus sic stantibus" rule is more likely to occur in a long-term contract, ordinarily of a successive tract. But not in a case, like this one, of a short-term contract, in which something extraordinary can hardly happen that affects the basis of the contract and is not covered within the risk of that contract. "
In conclusion, it seems logical that, if extraordinary circumstances occur that affect the contractual capacity of the parties to comply with the stipulated obligations, these circumstances will only affect the contract when it is prolonged in time, that is, when it is a contract of Long duration.

Reporting Grants
The True Cost of Gold: Steve Sapienza Visits Wake Forest University
Wednesday, September 26, 2012 - 5:00PM to 7:00PM
Pulitzer Center grantee and Emmy Award-winning journalist Steve Sapienza visits Wake Forest University to discuss "The True Cost of Gold." Sapienza's evening lecture on Wednesday, September 26 reveals how the global consumption of goods impacts precious resources in Peru, Thailand, and Bangladesh. He examines these issues through his collection of reporting for PBS NewsHour supported by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, including his project "Peru's Gold Rush: Wealth and Woes."
Yasmin Bendaas, the first WFU Pulitzer Center Fellow, joins Sapienza on stage discussing her 2012 student reporting project "Between the Lines: Facial Tattoos and the Chaouia" exploring indigenous facial tattoos in Algeria.
In addition to illegal mining in Peru's Amazon, Sapienza's recent Pulitzer Center-supported projects have focused on Burma's hidden war with the Kachin people, human trafficking in the Thai shrimp industry, and accountability in the water sector in West Africa. Sapienza's connections with the Pulitzer Center run deep: he was co-producer for the Pulitzer Center's Emmy Award-winning web-based reporting project called "Hope: Living & Loving with HIV in Jamaica" and producer of four short documentary films for the Pulitzer Center web-based reporting series on HIV in the Caribbean called "Heroes of HIV".
The Pulitzer Center is sponsoring Sapienza and Bendaas's evening talk and other class visits on campus in partnership with the Wake Forest University Journalism Program and the Wake Forest University Documentary Film Program with financial assistance from the Provost's Office on Global Affairs. Sapienza is in North Carolina for one week in conjunction with the Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium partnership with Wake Forest University, High Point University and Guilford College.

"We will illuminate dark places and, with a deep sense of responsibility, interpret these troubled times."
—Joseph Pulitzer III (1913-1993)


By Mary Divine on Jan 15, 2019 at 5:00 p.m.
The tourism industry in western Wisconsin can thank John Raleigh and his family for much of its early success.
Raleigh, of Somerset, died Saturday at Boutwells Landing in Oak Park Heights due to complications related to kidney failure. He was 76.
"Owner. Manager. Bartender. Maitre d'. Piano player. Accordion player. He did it all," said Janelle Sutherland, his youngest sister. "He did all the training. He did all the ordering. He ran the tube stand. He was a fixer. If something would break down — the ice machine, the blender, the broiler — John would fix it. The guy could fix anything."
If there's a world record for inner-tube rolling, Raleigh would be in the running, said Bill Cardinal, a longtime friend and former employee.
"He probably rolled more tubes than any human being in the world," Cardinal said. "He loved rolling tubes. He'd put a pretty good slap on 'em, and he could roll it 6 feet, 20 feet, you name it. He had the rhythm. ... Think about rolling a quarter across a table, that's what it was like. He had the perfect roll."
Raleigh ran the tube shop during the day and then worked the restaurant every night, said Cardinal, who worked for the Raleighs from 1970 to 1984 and from 1996 to the present.
Raleigh, the second of Jack and Alice Raleigh's eight children, started helping out at the family restaurant when he was 8 or 9 years old and learned to bartend at a young age.
"He was a great bartender," Sutherland said of her brother. "He made the best margaritas I've ever had in my life. He was wonderful behind the bar. He loved talking to people and hearing their stories."
Raleigh, who graduated from Hill High School in Maplewood, was at River's Edge seven days a week. "Even on his off days, he would be there," she said. "He would talk to the customers all the time. The customers were his No. 1 priority."
Raleigh supervised the restaurant and tubing operation at River's Edge, which the family sold in December, said Billy Raleigh, his nephew.
"He loved it," Billy Raleigh said. "He devoted his life to the place. He was a family person and carrying forward what his father and mother started in 1945 was important to him."
When John Raleigh's brother Bill Raleigh Sr. died in 2013, the family closed the restaurant. The new owner, Steve Kaufman of Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, plans to reopen the restaurant this spring, he said.
"It seemed like it was the right time to sell," Billy Raleigh said. "The family was ready to see the business go to the next level with some new blood. (Kaufman) seems like a great fit to blend the old legacy with new ideas and concepts."
River's Edge hit the big time in the early 1970s when CBS correspondent Charles Kuralt and his "On the Road" crew did a segment on River's Edge and its frog legs and tubing.
"Charles Kuralt would find these crazy little hidden places, and he came out and fell in love with my Grandma, who was one of those people who loved to take care of you and make sure you were fed," Billy Raleigh said. "He went on a tubing trip, and after that went in and had a great dinner with frog legs and drinks and had a great time."
The fame brought thousands of people to Somerset almost overnight.
"Imagine just in one day ... your life changing like that," he said. "Things were good and growing nicely, and then all of a sudden it was like the Wisconsin Dells overnight. It went from nothing to 'Oh, my God, this is more people than we've ever seen in our life.' We would have tens of thousands of people on the river every weekend, people from all over the country."
In 1986, John Raleigh married Carol Peine; they later divorced. Their son, Jack Raleigh, lives and works in Washington, D.C.
Raleigh also is survived by sister Jeanne Fabiano of Stillwater.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Jan. 19 at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Somerset. Visitation will be from 9:30 a.m. until the service. Burial will be at St. Anne's Catholic Cemetery.

Ann Barnes, Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent: "I take responsibility for everything that happens on my watch, good or bad.
"It is personally sad for Paris and her family. An enthusiastic young woman with exceptional skills and a proven track record in working with young people has ended up in a position where she has turned down the job of a lifetime for her.
"There have been calls for me to resign I am not a quitter by nature. Some have said that this has damaged by reputation To them I say this: reputations are made as much by your actions when things are tough.
"We worked with the best of intentions but sadly on this occasion it hasn't worked out".


A hybrid car is one that uses two types of propulsion simultaneously – a petrol or diesel engine and an electric motor. As well as a conventional hybrid, plug-in hybrids are available; these include a battery that can be topped up via a wall socket or charging point, alongside a conventional petrol or diesel engine.
Hybrid cars work by recycling and reusing the energy that is wasted in a conventional combustion powered car. This means that the engine doesn't need to work as hard, or won't need to be used at all if the car is in full electric mode. This reduces the vehicle's emissions output and fuel consumption, which saves you money in vehicle tax and fuel expenses.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles work in a similar way to a standard hybrid, but the main difference is that the battery can be recharged using an outlet. This gives these cars a longer range in all-electric mode, and when the battery is empty, the model reverts to work in the same way as a non-plug-in hybrid.
Having an electric motor and a battery will help you save fuel and money in two ways. Firstly, the electric motor can kick in alongside the engine to help with acceleration, putting less strain on the unit. Secondly, a smaller, more economical engine can be fitted as it is supported by the electric motor when needed.
With less input from the combustion engine, less CO2 is released into the environment. Hybrid models can emit from around 75g/km of CO2, while in all-electric mode, this drops to zero g/km.
RMB is a leading supplier of hybrid cars from the likes of Toyota, Lexus and Ford. Read through our hybrid information pages for more information before enquiring to test drive any dual-power vehicle in our stock.


This harmonious classic full structure has voluptuous soft red fruit flavours that continuously compete to dominate one another as this wine spends time in the glass. Strawberries, black currant, liquorice and sweet oak flavours are rounded off with fine cinnamon and caramel fudge, which lingers long after swallowing. The well balanced tannin structure in combination with the wine's intense flavours will ensure that this great vintage stands proud as it improves in the bottle over the next couple of years. This wine will benefit tremendously if it is decanted at least one hour before consumption.

The Nelson Mandela Tributes Database consists of tributes, and awards bestowed on Nelson Mandela. It includes tributes, awards and honours he received while in prison, after his release, while he was President of South Africa, during his retirement and posthumously.
Rivonia Trial
MR-RT
The Rivonia Trial, arguably the most significant political trial in South African history, generated a vast archive, ranging from the official court records to media coverage of the trial. This database, and the records audit on which it is built, constitutes a first step towards documenting the archive. The need for the database was determined by the fragmentary and scattered nature of the archive.
Mandela Materials
MR-MM
The archival record relating to the late Mr Nelson Mandela is infinite, fragmentary and scattered, both geographically and institutionally, throughout the world, making it almost impossible to physically locate. The imperative, therefore, is to document this vast resource, facilitate access to it, and promote its preservation and use.
The Mandela Materials Database is a guide to the Mandela archive elsewhere, other than the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory. Both local and international repositories have been surveyed for any material on Mr Mandela to include in the database. The purpose of this database is to point researchers to the relevant repositories holding the actual archival material.
ZA COM MR-F
Nelson Mandela has been the subject of numerous documentaries, feature films and news specials. This list is not exhaustive. Any additions or comments would be gratefully received, please reach us via archives@nelsonmandela.org. To see whether the NMF has copies of these films please check the NMF Film & Sound Collection.

A fund that helps create a long-lasting culture of giving.
A fund that contributes extra income to the School's budget.
The Annual Giving Campaign contributes to create an extra income to the school's budget, allowing for certain projects to be offered or added to the school that would otherwise take a much longer time to become a reality.
Donations to the Annual Fund go towards the realization of these projects, that must and will be completed in a 8 - 12 month time frame from the end of the Annual Giving Campaign. Projects are chosen based on the responses from a survey to parents and on the alignment with the ongoing strategic plan. If you would like to give your opinion and share ideas for the future, please email here.
The Annual Giving Campaign is a 6-week long effort by the community and for the community, led by the Alumni and Development Office and a team of ASFM volunteer Parents. The campaign usually takes place in October and November of each year,
To foster our mission and vision.
To create a long lasting culture of giving.
To accelerate the investment in projects that will enhance our students potential and competitiveness.
To ensure excellence for future generations.
To continue with the generosity of past donors who made it possible for us to enjoy our school as it is today.
ASFM expenses include:
Books & Didactic Materials
Computers and IT Software
Buildings, desks and chairs
Having an extra income, ASFM has been able to:
Accelerate the implementation cycle of innovation allowing certain projects to be launched that otherwise would not be possible, or would take a much longer time to become a reality.
Benchmark and compete with top independent schools around the world!
Take the next step towards becoming a top-level school on a global scale!
It is thanks to the contribution of donors that ASFM can develop initiatives that enrich the academic life of our students and faculty. Many private schools in the world rely on the philanthropic spirit of its community.
The ASFM Endowment Fund was created to provide long term stability to the school.
Besides the original funds that resulted from the sale of an important asset, the primary sources of the Endowment Fund are approved restricted funds transfers and specified donations.
The Endowment Fund should be maintained in perpetuity; so that future generations of Eagles may benefit from it as well.
Raise enough financial support to fund the new projects.
Positively impact the way our 2400+ students learn.
Encourage our families to participate in this great campaign!
A family can donate any amount they feel comfortable. All gifts, no matter the size, are important.
Edge of Excellence projects will provide our students with the knowledge and tools necessary to confront and resolve important issues of their lives. These projects will give our students the opportunity to be launched from an advantageous platform into the real world.
Projects may include funding for student activities, state of the art technology and facilities, support for athletic programs, among other things.
To qualify as an Edge of Excellence project, the following conditions must be met:
The project should be aligned to the school's mission and vision.
The project should be designed and built in an 8-12 months time frame, after the end of the campaign.
The total cost should not exceed $200,000 USD.
If you would like to give your opinion and share ideas for the future, please email here.
All new projects are chosen based on input from last year's post campaign survey and on their direct link to the ASFM vision, mission, and strategic plan.
Each year we have a tentative budget based on our goal.
At the end of the campaign the design of the projects is adjusted depending on the funds that have been raised from donors. We start out usually with a $200,000 annual USD budget per project.
Donors can give in any of the following ways:
Fill out a Pledge Form (download here) and bring it to the cashier, or fill out the Online Pledge Form at www.asfm.edu.mx/pledge

EDGE OF EXCELLENCE PROJECTS
CAMPAIGN RESULTS
HISTORY OF FUNDRAISING AT ASFM


Media Post | September 12, 2018 - It's been only a few months since GDPR went into effect, and advertisers and publishers are still adjusting to their new reality. As the dust settles around the compliance layer within ad tech, questions linger regarding how long-term consumer behavior will adapt to new consent requests. One truth has emerged: Advertisers' relationships with publishers are more important today than they've ever been.
One consequence of the post-GDPR reality: Brands that have historically relied on third-party data have felt the pinch of GDPR more than others. First-party data has always been an important asset for brands. This importance has been underscored — and advertisers that lack first-party data are feeling the pinch — now that Facebook has decided to pull back its Partners Categories offering and other third-party data providers continue to wrestle with the limitations of GDPR compliance.
The newly restricted landscape for third-party data has illuminated the renewed value of publisher data for advertisers, based on the following two macro trends in our post-GDPR world: the reemergence of contextual targeting and the rise of second-party engagement data from publishers.

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Generation) Review
By Joe Warner on November 19, 2018
-Much better sound than 2nd Gen
-Classy style with 3 color choices
-Alexa still best-in-class voice assistant
-No battery
Amazon's new Echo Dot 3rd Generation Smart Speaker will be one of the hottest tech goodies of the 2018 holiday shopping season, especially during the Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales. Regularly $50, it will be $24 or $25 from a number of retailers, including Amazon of course, but also Target, Best Buy, Kohl's and others.
On Amazon, you can currently buy three of the 3rd Gen Echo Dots for $70 (discount at checkout). That's just $23 (and some change) per unit.
The Echo Dot 2nd Generation, which got dropped to a regular price of $40, will be $20 on Amazon during Thanksgiving and Black Friday as well as at other retailers like Target and Best Buy.
After reviewing the new 3rd Gen model and comparing it to its predecessor, I think the Echo Dot 3 is worth the extra $5 (or $10) in the long run, with one very minor caveat, which I will get to later.
2nd Gen (left) and 3rd Gen (right)
Released in October 2018, the new Echo Dot is noticeably larger, measuring 3.9 inches in diameter and 1.7 inches tall, compared to the 3.3-inch by 1.3-inch size of the first two generations. The form factor still retains the iconic "hockey puck" shape. Available in 3 colors (charcoal, sandstone and heather gray), the Dot looks like a shrunken-down version of the new Echo Plus and the design of both new models harkens back to last year's revamp of the standard Echo, which introduced the fabric wrap-around and the same color choices. In a subtle but welcome change, the edges of the new Dot (and Plus) are more rounded than the 2017 Echo, which gives the overall appearance a classier feel.
The Echo Dot, when compared to the sea of small Bluetooth speakers out there, is not the smallest or best sounding. It's not even technically portable, because there's no rechargeable battery. The ill-fated Amazon Tap had a battery, but it seems like Amazon hasn't yet figured out how to balance always-on voice capabilities with fantastic battery life. So for now, you need to plug the Echo Dot into an outlet. So while it's "portable" because it's small, you still need to carry around its power brick, which is now a larger 15w adapter with a barrel plug, compared to the 2nd Gen's 9W adapter with a detachable micro USB cable.
You can choose to use the Echo Dot 3 as only a Bluetooth speaker: turn off the microphone, pair it with your mobile device and avoid any further concerns about privacy. But you still have to initially connect it to your Wi-Fi, and besides that's not why we buy the Echo. We know the Dot can do much more than with Alexa, Amazon's now famous "always on" voice control assistant.
Echo Dot 3 Unboxed
As is standard for these Amazon devices, it's a simple 5-minute setup, but you do need the Alexa iOS or Android app and a Wi-Fi network. Within 5 minutes of powering up the 3rd Gen Echo Dot and connecting it to my home network, Alexa reminded me she was there, saying the Dot had received an update and needed to restart. After that, it was smooth sailing.
The 2nd Gen Echo Dot was a great little smart speaker, but its biggest drawback was that it really wasn't a standalone device. The speaker sounded harsh and metallic, and while serviceable for Alexa's voice, you really needed to plug in or pair up a real speaker (or speakers) to get decent sound. With the new iteration, Amazon has really made the Echo Dot a standalone speaker, albeit one for small spaces ("near field") and one that isn't going to stand up to close scrutiny, audio-wise. You can still plug in the 3rd Gen model to another speaker via 3.5mm cable or pair it via Bluetooth.
The speaker on the new Dot has a bigger driver than the previous model (1.6 inches vs. 1.1 inches). It's able to reach higher volumes without distorting as quickly. Really, there's almost no comparison since the 2nd Gen Dot has terrible, low-fidelity sound.
A better comparison to the new Echo Dot's sound is the standard Echo. While the Echo does have better overall sound, the Echo Dot 3 does have comparable mid-range capability and only slightly worse highs. Where it does falter is on the low end (bass), which is not surprising given its diminutive size.
The much-improved sound gives you the flexibility to use the Dot by itself, although you won't get as pleasing a sound or as big a soundstage as you will find on the larger Echo speakers.
Both models have a 3.5mm port
I found the mics (four far-field mics) to be very sensitive—almost slightly too sensitive–with Alexa occasionally interrupting music to listen. I didn't necessarily find the Echo Dot 3 to be better at recognizing voice commands than its predecessor.
The 3rd Generation model doesn't make any advancements in what it can do as a smart speaker. The improvements are solely audio- and cosmetic-related. However, there are a lot of great things you can do with Echo devices, especially when you have more than one, like using them in a Sonos-style multi-room setup (through the Alexa app). Now that the Echo Dot 3 has decent standalone sound, it's a lot more affordable to install such a setup in your home.
On that note, I encourage you to find out more of what the Echo Dot can do via the Alexa app, where you can also do things like enable "Follow-up Mode" (via Device Settings), which will keep Alexa listening for 5 seconds after your initial request, or "Routines," where you can have Alexa do a sequence of smart home commands, like turning off the kitchen lights and the living room lights at the same time.
So here's the one caveat to buying the Echo Dot 3 over the Echo Dot 2: the new model is behind the 2nd Gen Dot in third-party accessories, especially the popular speaker and portable battery docks. In time, I'm sure the 3rd Gen model will get its own slew of accessories, but if you can't wait or already own these accessories, then the Echo Dot might be a better choice.
Still, I think the 3rd Gen Echo Dot will sound good enough for most people and be portable enough that it will become one of Amazon's all-time top-selling devices.
