A collaborative research team of historians has delved into the historical archives of the Co-operative Group and the Co-operative Wholesale Society to provide a comprehensive business history of the movement.
The research team from LJMU's School of Humanities and Social Sciences and Newcastle University looked at 50 years' worth of historical information explaining the growth of the co-operative movement until the 1950s, its decline up to the 1990s and its subsequent renaissance in the first decades of the 21st century.
Researchers were given exclusive access to the collections of historical records held in the National Co-operative Archives and at the Co-operative College in Manchester. The team also interviewed a number of senior figures within the movement, including several former chief executives.
The project aimed to raise public and internal awareness about the development of the co-operative model, linking in with the United Nations International Year of Cooperatives in 2012 and the 150th anniversary of the Co-operative Group in 2013.
The main insights of the research focus on the democratic and federal nature of the co-operative movement that helped it to become a national business leader in retail until the 1950s, but then proved to be a major factor precipitating a long period of decline into the 1990s. The research examines the strategies which enabled the Co-operative Group to reverse the decline and re-establish itself as a major commercial and social player (notwithstanding recent problems of corporate governance).
Research findings were shared with 350 members, senior managers and employees through a series of events designed to enable participants to incorporate this knowledge into their work activities. Participants reported that they felt they had learned more about the history of the movement, that this knowledge had made a difference to them and would help them in their work as 'co-operators'.
The research team designed and delivered an educational module: 'Celebrating our Co-operative Heritage' based on the findings which covered the significance of the business model, the challenges it has faced and the strategies it has followed.
70 members and employees, elected by the Co-operative Group, attended the module events and were assessed on their understanding of the content and their plans to disseminate information to the wider membership. Successful attendees received a 'Certificate in Co-operation'. Module feedback showed that participants felt the research had enhanced their understanding of the movement, which would help them to be more effective when communicating to members, colleagues and the public.

You leave your work life; enter the business school of your dreams after being away from college life for almost 4 years. You reach for induction and know no one around, you are standing alone and in a moment better sense prevails, you decide to go ahead and say a jovial Hello! to everyone around. Then you realize, it was that easy to be familiar with your peers around. You think, well the first step went well.
Now you are worried about the next step, how would be the faculty? Will they keep us interested and engaged for each session of 1.5 hours? Will they be appealing enough for a batch with work experience of 0 to 65 months?? Will they teach you about all traits of being a good manager?
Then you are introduced to your faculties one by one. You get to know their profiles, their area of work, their corporate experience, and their achievements as academicians and feel even more intimidating. Thoughts like -"What if I ask a question and it's just stupid?" come to your mind. You are even more scared now. After induction, their regular classes starts. And your ignorant brain and insecurities gets addressed as you find them one of the most approachable and understanding faculties.
My peers and my faculties make my Campus unique.
I don't get up in the morning for attendance or fines or fears. I do it because I look forward to how the day will turn out? Which new part of my batch mates would I discover?, What new my faculties have to surprise us? I won't be exaggerating when I say our faculties surprise us every day with their experiences and knowledge, my batch mates surprise me every day with their focus and dedication and even sometimes I surprise myself by discovering a new trait in me when these wonderful people are around me.
Birla Carbon, the Global Carbon Black leader is the ABG company which I want to join. They are the pioneers in the tires, speciality black and mechanical rubber goods industry.

Less than 30% of our planet is made up of land so as divers, we are privileged to be able to explore some of the other 70%. Not all of our oceans are bordered by coral reefs, but some excellent diving and stunning marine life can be found in areas where you would least expect it.
The term "muck" in muck diving takes its name from the sediment that lies on the bottom of many dive sites which can be a mixture of sand, silt, natural debris such as dead corals and coral rubble, or manmade debris ranging from tires and paint cans to air conditioning units and beer bottles – anything is possible. One thing is for sure, be careful how you move your fins or you could kick up a (silt) storm!
An exciting event is coming up in spring 2017: the Philippine Siren will be assisting the LAMAVE team in monitoring tiger shark and gray reef shark behaviour on our 29 March- 4 April 2017 6-night Tubbataha liveaboard! Join us for exploratory dives to deploy new acoustic receivers to track individual sharks, manta rays, and turtles, analyse the gathered data from existing receivers, and help with identifying tagged individuals to count their numbers.
Spend six full days snorkeling with humpback whale mother-calf pairs on their calving grounds in Tonga, exploring coral gardens off the coast of Vava'u, and experiencing authentic Polynesian culture. This trip was named one of National Geographic Traveler's "50 Tours of a Lifetime" in 2009!
It is almost like the end of the world, and beyond! To give you an idea just how remote this place is, I have been travelling by car, plane, bus, and boat for three whole days. This is a hidden utopia for divers, underwater photographers and videographers. In addition to decades of economic embargo and political isolation, Fidel Castro declared this part of Cuba a national reserve in the nineteen sixties. Few people have had the privilege to come here and enjoy its unscathed nature and abundant wildlife. There is no commercial fishing, no oil pollution and no commercial ships. This is a place untouched by commercial activities. This is Jardines de la Reina, the Gardens of the Queen, a barrier reef off the southern coast of Cuba.
On the morning of February 20, Fiji encountered the most powerful cyclone in the Pacific nation's recorded history. Thanks to the bravery of the captain and crew on board and the following hard work of the Fiji Siren crew and the Siren family ground support, the Fiji Siren is now back in action. Cruises diving the "Soft Coral Capital of the World" started again on the 14th of April. Since the cyclone, all the dive shops around Fiji have been checking the reefs in their area and everybody is happy to discover that most of the reefs haven't been damaged or, if they have been are only suffering minor damage. The feedback from the first trip was great too! Mantas on almost every dive, plenty of sharks, beautiful corals with lots of macro life and schools of fish!

1,000 people sign petition against housing estate off A449
By Kerry AshdownPenkridgePublished: May 14, 2019 Last Updated: May 15, 2019
More than 1,000 people have backed a petition calling for an appeal decision on 200 new homes for Penkridge to be overturned.
The proposals are to build up to 200 homes off the A449 in Penkridge. Photo: Google Maps
South Staffordshire Council refused Bloor Homes permission for the development on land off the A449 Stafford Road in July 2018, on the grounds the plans were "contrary to policies for the control of development within the open countryside".
But the developer appealed against the decision – and finally won permission this month from the Planning Inspectorate, following a site visit and three-day inquiry held in March.
Residents are continuing their fight against the development however. A petition urging MP Jeremy Lefroy to lobby the Secretary of State in a bid to overturn the appeal decision has attracted hundreds of signatures in just a few days.
'We've had our share of development'
Joanne Taylor said residents' concerns included destruction of open countryside, agricultural land and wildlife habitat, as well as the state of local roads and the timing of the appeal "to coincide with a temporary fall in the five-year housing supply".
She added: "The Bloor appeal was heavily centred around this. South Staffs do exceed a five-year housing supply, as they did when the planning application was rejected in July 2018.
"The petition has well over 1,000 signatures. We met with Jeremy Lefroy on Friday and he has agreed to get the Secretary of State to look at this.
"In Penkridge we have had a lot of development – we have taken the majority for the area. We have had our share and there are brownfield sites in the area that need to go first.
"Penkridge is a village but it is quickly turning into a market town. We have had 400 new homes on the Lyme Hill development in the south of the village.
"The doctors are under a lot of strain – people have had to wait six weeks for routine appointments. The schools are at capacity and have had to turn people away."
It had been agreed by the main parties involved that the council was not able to demonstrate it had a five-year housing land supply, the appeal decision notice said.
But residents and the Campaign to Protect Rural England disputed this, highlighting a Site Allocations Document adopted in September 2018, when an inspector identified that "the council was able to demonstrate a healthy five-year housing land supply position."

I love your chairs, but sadly cannot offer them homes.
I'm the same with finances, and I'm a bookkeeper by trade, so don't feel too badly! I have never successfully rolled over a 401(k) because I am a terrible jobhopper. booo, retirement is not in my future!!!!
My parents call me on an almost daily basis about my 401k and my retirement. I don't have anything like a savings at this point at all really.


(…) Does a dissolved law firm retains a property interest in (…) legal matters (matters on an hourly basis) that are in progress –– but not completed –– at the time of dissolution?
(…) Under California law, a dissolved law firm has no property interest in legal matters handled on an hourly basis, and therefore, no property interest in the profits generated by its former partners' work on hourly fee matters pending at the time of the firm's dissolution. The partnership has no more than an expectation that it may continue to work on such matters, and that expectation may be dashed at any time by a client's choice to remove its business. As such, the firm's expectation — a mere possibility of unearned, prospective fees — cannot constitute a property interest. To the extent the law firm has a claim, its claim is limited to the work necessary for preserving legal matters so they can be transferred to new counsel of the client's choice (or the client itself), effectuating such a transfer, or collecting on work done pretransfer.
Heller's dissolution plan included a provision known as a Jewel waiver. Named after the case of Jewel v. Boxer (1984) 156 Cal.App.3d 171 (Jewel), the provision purported to waive any rights and claims Heller may have had "to seek payment of legal fees generated after the departure date of any lawyer or group of lawyers with respect to non-contingency/non-success fee matters only." The waiver was intended as "an inducement to encourage Shareholders to move their clients to other law firms and to move Associates and Staff with them, the effect of which will be to reduce expenses to the Firm-in-Dissolution." By its express terms, the waiver governed only those matters billed on a non-contingency –– that is continual, or hourly –– basis.
(…) In the meantime, Heller filed for bankruptcy under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. When Heller's plan of liquidation was approved, the bankruptcy court appointed a plan administrator who became responsible for pursuing claims to recover assets for the benefit of Heller's creditors.
(…) We granted the Ninth Circuit's request that we resolve the question of what property interest, if any, a dissolved law firm has in the legal matters, and therefore the profits, of cases that are in progress but not completed at the time of dissolution.
(…) Our policy of encouraging labor mobility while minimizing firm instability. It accomplishes the former by making the pending matters, and those that work on them, attractive additions to new firms; it manages the latter by placing partners who depart after a firm's dissolution at no disadvantage to those who leave earlier.
(…) In Osment v. McElrath (1886) 68 Cal. 466 and Little v. Caldwell (1894) 101 Cal. 553, we confronted situations in which law firms dissolved with contingency matters pending. In both cases, we held that the fees generated by one partner in completing the matters were to be shared equally with the former partner (or his estate). (Osment, supra, 68 Cal. at p. 470; Little, supra, 101 Cal. at p. 561.) We thus rejected the argument that the lawyers who personally completed the matters were entitled to a greater share of the fees than stipulated to in the partnership agreements.
California partnership law was codified in 1929 when the Legislature adopted the Uniform Partnership Act (UPA). The UPA preserved many common-law principles, including the rules elucidated in Osment and Little. (See Jacobson v. Wikholm (1946) 29 Cal.2d 24, 27–28 (Jacobson).) The First District Court of Appeal then added further gloss when it interpreted UPA in the case of Jewel v. Boxer, supra. In Jewel, partners of a dissolved law firm sued their former partners who had been handling "most of the active personal injury and workers' compensation cases." (Jewel, supra, 156 Cal.App.3d at p. 175.) The suing partners sought their shares of the fees from these cases, arguing that they were entitled to the same fees as prevailed during the partnership.
Subsequent Court of Appeal decisions consistently applied Jewel's holding to contingency fee cases. (See, e.g., Fox v. Abrams (1985) 163 Cal.App.3d 610, 612–613; Rosenfeld, Meyer & Susman v. Cohen (1987) 191 Cal.App.3d 1035, 1063.) Such widespread application of Jewel was confined to the contingency fee context, however. Only in 1993 did a Court of Appeal expressly interpret Jewel to encompass matters the dissolved law firm had been handling on an hourly basis. (See Rothman v. Dolin (1993) 20 Cal.App.4th 755, 757–759.) To this day, Rothman remains the only published California opinion to apply Jewel to the hourly fee context, and it did so before UPA was revised. Three years after Rothman, the Legislature again revised partnership law by replacing UPA with RUPA. (See Corp. Code, § 16100 et. seq.) RUPA made several changes to the default rules of California partnership law.
(…) Since the enactment of RUPA, no California court has, in a published opinion, resolved whether there remains a basis for holding that a partnership has a property interest in legal matters pending at a firm's dissolution. The last time we took up the issue was in Osment and Little. More recent is the intermediate appellate decision in Jewel, although that, too, was issued before the passage of RUPA and implicated only contingency fee matters. We thus consider with fresh eyes the question posed to us by the Ninth Circuit.
(…) The circumstances giving rise to a property interest, in turn, include not only familiar arm's-length transactions but also certain sufficiently reliable expectations, such as unvested retirement benefits. (E.g., In re Marriage of Green (2013) 56 Cal.4th 1130, 1140– 1141 ["Nonvested retirement benefits are certainly contingent on various events occurring — such as continued employment — but this does not prevent them from being a property right for these purposes."].) In this case, we consider the question of whether a sufficiently strong expectation exists in the context of a law firm partnership performing hourly work on legal matters. We find that it does not. A property interest grounded in such an expectation requires a legitimate, objectively reasonable assurance rather than a mere unilaterally-held presumption (See Bd. of Regents v. Roth (1972) 408 U.S. 564, 577).
While Heller was a viable, ongoing business, it no doubt hoped to continue working on the unfinished hourly fee matters and expected to receive compensation for its future work. But such hopes were speculative, given the client's right to terminate counsel at any time, with or without cause. As such, they do not amount to a property interest. (Civ. Code, § 700; In re Thelen LLP (2014) 20 N.E.3d 264, 270–271 ["no law firm has a property interest in future hourly legal fees because they are 'too contingent in nature and speculative to create a present or future property interest' "].) Dissolution does not change that fact, as dissolving does not place a firm in the position to claim a property interest in work it has not performed — work that would not give rise to a property interest if the firm were still a going concern. A dissolved law firm therefore has no property interest in the fees or profits associated with unfinished hourly fee matters. The firm never owned such matters, and upon dissolution, cannot claim a property interest in the income streams that they generate. This is true even when it is the dissolved firm's former partners who continue to work on these matters and earn the income — as is consistent with our partnership law.
So, with the exception of fees paid for work fitting the narrow category of winding up activities that a former partner might perform after a firm's dissolution, a dissolved law firm's property interest in hourly fee matters is limited to the right to be paid for the work it performs before dissolution. Consistent with our statutory partnership law, winding up includes only tasks necessary to preserve the hourly fee matters so that they can be transferred to new counsel of the client's choice (or the client itself), to effectuate such a transfer, and to collect on the pretransfer work. Beyond this, the partnership's interest, like the partnership itself, dissolves.
Une étude d'avocats est-elle titulaire, après sa dissolution, d'un "property interest" portant sur les affaires en cours (facturées selon un tarif horaire), et sur les honoraires qu'elles génèrent après dissolution ?
En droit californien, une étude d'avocats dissoute, en phase de liquidation, n'est pas titulaire d'un "property interest" s'agissant des affaires traitées à un tarif horaire. De la sorte, elle n'est pas non plus titulaire d'un tel intérêt sur les honoraires générés après dissolution, dans ces dossiers, par les anciens associés. Même avant dissolution, l'étude n'a que l'expectative de pouvoir continuer à travailler dans les affaires en cours, et cette expectative peut être contrariée en tout temps par le choix du client de résilier le mandat. Dite expectative ne saurait constituer un "property interest" : elle ne permet, après dissolution, que d'entreprendre contre rémunération le travail nécessaire au bon transfert du dossier et de procéder au recouvrement des honoraires dus avant le transfert.
Dans deux décisions anciennes, Osment v. McElrath (1886) 68 Cal. 466 et Little v. Caldwell (1894) 101 Cal. 553, la Cour Suprême de Californie a jugé que dans des dossiers rémunérés autrement que selon le système du tarif horaire, l'avocat qui continuait de traiter le dossier après dissolution de l'ancienne étude devait partager ses honoraires avec l'avocat (ou sa succession) qui le traitait avant dissolution. Les honoraires devaient ainsi être partagés comme si l'étude n'avait pas été dissoute, en conformité avec le contrat de collaboration des anciens associés de l'étude dissoute. Cela sauf accord contraire entre les anciens associés (cf. Jewel v. Boxer (1984) 156 Cal.App.3d 171 (Jewel)).
Le "partnership law" californien a été codifié en 1929, et a conservé de nombreux principes de la Common law, y compris les principes énoncés par les deux décisions précitées Osment et Little.
La décision Jewel a été reprise de manière réitérée par les cours d'appel, mais seulement dans le contexte d'honoraires calculés autrement que selon le tarif horaire. Une seule décision d'une seule cour d'appel a repris Jewel dans le cadre du tarif horaire (Rothman v. Dolin (1993) 20 Cal.App.4th 755, 757–759). Trois ans après Rothman, le législateur a révisé le droit du "partnership", remplaçant UPA par RUPA.
Depuis l'entrée en vigueur de ce nouveau droit, aucune décision publiée des cours de Californie n'a jugé si le droit révisé permettait de retenir l'existence d'un "property interest" en faveur d'une étude dissoute et portant, après dissolution, sur les affaires en cours et sur les honoraires générés après dissolution.
La Cour juge en l'espère qu'un "property interest" peut être reconnu si l'expectative du droit qui lui est lié est suffisamment solide. Tel est le cas par exemple d'un droit futur reconnu par un contrat bilatéral, ou de rentes de retraite dont les montants ne sont pas encore certains. Mais tel n'est pas le cas s'agissant d'honoraires d'avocats à verser selon un tarif horaire. Des honoraires futurs pour un travail qui n'a pas encore été accompli ne sont en rien acquis. Le client peut en effet résilier le mandat en tout temps, avec ou sans motif (est citée la fameuse décision Bd. of Regents v. Roth (1972) 408 U.S. 564, 577). Dès lors, une étude en dissolution n'est pas titulaire d'un "property interest" s'agissant des honoraires portant sur du travail effectué après dissolution. Elle n'était déjà pas titulaire d'un tel intérêt avant dissolution, et la dissolution ne change pas cet absence d'intérêt. Cela même si le travail après dissolution est entrepris par un ancien associé du "partnership" en dissolution. Le "partnership" en dissolution a tout de même droit au paiement de ses honoraires pour le travail, après dissolution, lié au transfert du dossier au nouveau conseil ou au client lui-même. Les honoraires liés au travail accompli avant la dissolution sont également dus.

Berkhamsted Place was built by Sir Edward Carey in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, using material from the Castle. From the 18th century onward it was frequently referred to as the Castle. Although little remains of the mansion itself the area is rich in history. The Great Barn is probably older than the house.
The Inns of Court Officers' Training Corps was stationed in Berkhamsted from 1914-1919 and thanks to the valuable legacy of photographs by James Thomas Newman we are able to recapture something of the life in the town at that time for soldiers and locals alike.

Old Hall, the original School House, built in 1544, was the largest school building at the time exceeding Winchester and Eton in size. The beautiful little chapel is Victorian and was largely financed by Dr Fry who became Dean of Lincoln, and his wife. It was built by the local architect Charles Henry Rew, but based on the little chapel of Santa Maria dei Miracoli in Venice.
This Victorian Town Hall, by the architect Edward Buckton Lamb, was opened in 1860 to replace the Market House destroyed by fire in 1854. It included a large meeting hall and a room for the Mechanics' Institute in addition to the Market Hall. There is a permanent exhibition of old photographs relating to the Market House and Town Hall.
This royal castle, the finest example of a Norman motte and bailey castle extant, still belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall. It has a long history with many royal associations, although not inhabited since 1495. Exhibition in Visitors' Room, depicting history of castle.
We have no Victorian pillar boxes in Berkhamsted. The oldest surviving box in the town is in Gravel Path, a well-preserved pillar box outside the old sub Post Office which now a residential property aptly named "The Old Post Office".
This converted fire station is an accredited museum although not a museum in the normal sense. It houses collections from different societies and other bodies from all over Dacorum, including those belonging to BLH&MS and BDAS.

Things looking good for CaliforniaLegalization....
With just a little over a month before the November elections, proponents of California's over to legalize marijuana received some good news today.
A new Field poll- considered by many to be the most reliable poll in the state- has found that nearly half of the state's voters favor the move to legalize marijuana in the state- 49% to the opposition's 42%.
This is viewed as a somewhat dramatic shift by those conducting the poll, as a similar poll conducted by Field in July had fond those numbers reversed.
"The numbers have flipped (on Proposition 19) since our July poll," said Mark DiCamillo, the poll's director. "That's a major change in the direction of public feelings on legalizing marijuana."
The survey results being released today are especially meaningful since the first ballots for the Nov. 2 election will be cast in a little more than a week from now, starting Oct. 4.
In a July poll, 48 percent of those surveyed planned to vote against the ballot initiative, with 44 percent backing legalization.
The reversal came despite a total absence of paid advertising for either side. Neither supporters nor opponents of the measure have raised much money for the Prop. 19 campaign, so far relying on word-of-mouth and media coverage to get their stories out.
That hasn't kept California voters from paying attention to the race, however. The poll found that 84 percent had seen or heard about the effort to legalize marijuana. By contrast, fewer than 40 percent of the voters had heard anything about the other two ballot measures in the survey.
Nine percent of voters are undecided on Prop. 19, which DiCamillo said isn't much of a surprise.
"Everyone knows about it, and it isn't that complicated an issue," he added.
For supporters, the bump in the numbers shows that their message is getting through.
"Police, sheriffs and judges have been speaking out recently in support of Prop. 19's commonsense solution to control and tax marijuana like alcohol and tobacco - to allow police to focus on violent crime," said Dan Newman, a spokesman for the Yes on 19 campaign.
Opponents of the measure, who include a number of law-enforcement figures, are confident the numbers will change.
"Obviously, this is a volatile electorate, but that doesn't change the fact that no poll has shown (legalization supporters) with the 50 percent they need to win," said Roger Salazar, a spokesman for the No on 19 effort.
Greener Pastures…
Things have not always looked so good for the Legalization of Marijuana effort in California.
A 1972 effort to legalize marijuana in the state, also Prop. 19, was steamrolled, collecting only a third of the votes.
More than 40 years of polling by Field shows just how dramatic the shift on marijuana has been. In 1969, just 13 percent of California adults wanted to legalize marijuana, while 49 percent called on the state to pass new, tougher laws against the drug.
By 1983, 30 percent of registered voters favored legalization, but 32 percent still wanted to crack down on users.
Now close to 50 percent of registered voters want marijuana legalized and only 14 percent want harsher laws.
A measure to allow for the medicinal usage of marijuana in 1996 (Prop 215) passed through the state, getting 56% of the vote.

Numerology is considered one of many traditional systems used to 'divine' or analyze relationships between numbers and physical objects, living things, words and their their 'hidden' meanings.
Numerology is not considered part of mathematics today, but was popular among early mathematicians, such as Pythagoras. Today, numerology compatibility is often associated with the occult but back in the day of Pythagoras and his fellow Greek philosophers, they believed that because mathematical concepts were more practical and easier to classify then physical ones, they had then, greater actuality numerology name.
Numerology is one of the easiest of the occult arts to use and understand. The Mayan also, although one can't say they used 'numerology', considered number a very important if not all important, component to life. They were famous for the study of astrology and are known for the accuracy of their calendars. Many ancient civilizations used number as a guiding principle in relation to the stars.
Numerologists use what is called digit summing to arrive at the final value of a date or of some one's numerology name. Digit summing is the practice of 'adding' all numbers, single digit at a time, until a final single digit is calculated, which then can be said to represent that whole 'entity' or their relationship to life.
Numerology is the study of the occult meaning of Numbers and alphabets and their influence on human lives. Pandit as a Numerologist, Begin with your name and birth date. It's the database which provides an insight in your life. In free numerology report Numeric Values are assigned to your Name. By Adding these numbers along with a multitude of combinations predictions and suggestions are made to your name to bring forth positive energy and enhanced success.
But his experience with numerology compatibility in India – the spiritual center of the world – has resulted in him knowledge and practice of both systems. Chaldean and Pythagorean numerology systems are totally different from one another. Each system uses different numerological vibrations and different numerological calculation methods. Most importantly, from my experiences, he has found both Chaldean and Pythagorean numerology systems to be good. Using free numerology report and its techniques one is able to tune their mind force with this Cosmic Energy, thus absorbing some of this energy and enjoying its existence around us. With proper free numerology report reading, this can be achieved.

"Ivanka Trump is useless": Michelle Wolf and the (long overdue) age of white women dragging their own
Blue Telusma
(L-R) Michelle Wolf, Ivanka Trump and Samantha Bee (Getty Images).
Michelle Wolf is a savage when it comes to calling out her problematic white sisters and I am all the way here for it.
Wolf is just latest in a treasure trove of white women who are highlighting the apathy that exists in their ranks. Earlier this month, the host of Full Frontal, Samantha Bee was criticized for calling "First Daughter-in-Chief," Ivanka Trump a "feckless c—" during a segment on her comedy show about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) separating children from their parents.
After facing a tidal wave of backlash from conservatives and Trump enthusiasts, Bee eventually apologized for the comment.
READ MORE: (VIDEO) Kim Kardashian on why she was skeptical Trump would free Alice Marie Johnson and why she thanks Ivanka
"I should have known that a potty-mouth insult would be inherently more interesting to them [news media] than juvenile immigration policy," she continued. "I would do anything to help those kids. I hate that this distracted from them. So to them, I am also sorry."
While it's understandable why Bee felt the need to show some sort of remorse and keep her job, her fellow Daily Show alum, Wolf, is now sticking up for the comedian, and defending Bee's original statements.
For those of you who may have been living under a rock, Wolf is the same fearless comic who previously also triggered backlash at the annual White House Correspondence dinner for taking a jab at Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
"I actually really like Sarah. I think she's very resourceful," Wolf said at the time. "She burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies. It's probably lies."
Self righteous members of the GOP tried to say she took an inappropriate jab at Sanders' appearance and therefore crossed a line. Anyone with the reading comprehension of a fifth grader could easily see the joke was actually about the Trump policies that the press secretary regularly defends.
READ MORE: No, Michelle Wolf isn't Black, but after her savage takedown at White House Correspondents' Dinner, we'll trade Kanye for her in the racial draft
Since that glorious moment Black Twitter has adopted Wolf as one of their own, and her willingness to drag her white sisters when they act a fool has been deeply appreciated by those of us who are sick of having to do it ourselves.
It should also be no surprise that when the topic of Ivanka Trump came up, Wolf held nothing back while defending Bee's statements.
"I would guess that most people don't even know what joke that was in. They probably just saw the headline: 'Samantha Bee calls Ivanka Trump a feckless c—.' They don't know it was a bit about ICE, and they may not even know that Ivanka posted that picture or really so much about that," she said.
"I mean, Ivanka is part of the Trump administration. She's fair game and she is useless. So, I think it's very fair to point out that she's doing a terrible job."
Wolf continued: "She's one of those worst kind of girls. We're all fooled by her because Eric and Don Jr. aren't attractive, and then we pull that, 'Well, she's just a little girl! She's just a pretty little girl.' And that's why you shouldn't underestimate women They'll look like a pretty little girl and they'll steal the children right out from under you."
The Revelation
There's not doubt that Trump, who is a mother herself, winced a bit while reading Wolf's response, but ironically it's her father who is to blame for how mercilessly, she (and other women like her) has become.
When the stats came out that 53 percent of white women voted for Trump, I suspect it triggered feelings of anger (and betrayal) in liberal white women who had previously been unaware of how deeply manipulative and short sighted their conservative counterparts were behind closed doors and private voting booths.
For years, Black feminists have complained that mainstream white feminism often turned a blind eye to the intersections of race and sexism, but it wasn't until the numbers came back from the 2016 elections that the world finally had proof of just how much this unchecked subsection of the population was contributing to the division we're currently experiencing.
Since then, everywhere you look, fed up white women are screaming, "NOT TODAY SUSAN!" whenever they see one of their own showing their asses.
And again – I am ALL the way here for this.
Just look at that woman who became an internet meme sensation after calling the police on a group of Black people in Oakland who were just trying to have an innocent barbecue.
It was a fellow white woman who confronted her, and then followed her for over 20 minutes, documenting her antics which ultimately culminated with her fraudulently sobbing for the police in a performance worthy of at least a Daytime Emmy.
Thanks to that women's service to the cause, Black Twitter had enough hilarious material to last a lifetime. While also highlighting just how shamelessly white female tears are often weaponized against Black people.

And even recently you have the likes of A-list actress Jessica Chastain who used her white privilege to tie her salary to fellow actress Octavia Spencer's to ensure Spencer was being paid accordingly for her work.
"I knew women of color got paid less than Caucasian actresses," she said. "What I didn't know is someone of Octavia's level, who had an Oscar and two Oscar nominations, how much less she would be getting paid. When she told me what she was making, that's what really made me go, 'Hold up, that doesn't compute in my brain.'"
Chastain also added, that after she realized how much less Black actresses where getting paid, she found herself caring more about Spencer's pay day than her own.
″… This is the God's honest truth ― I care more about what Octavia's getting paid than what I'm getting paid. Because I've got a great life. I am more concerned about her than I am about me," she said. "Equal pay for equal work!"
The outspoken feminist and equal pay advocate isn't just putting her own money where her mouth is, she's now also calling out other white actresses for not doing the same.
"In an industry that for the longest time had pitted women against each other, it's really important for me and my company to create a space where everyone understands that actually we do better together," the actress turned producer explained to The Hollywood Reporter for the magazine's June cover issue.
"Your silence is your discrimination," Chastain declared. "So if you are succeeding in an environment where there is discrimination, you are actively being discriminatory."
Look, after years of Black women having to constantly push back against the dismissive stereotype of the "angry Black woman" I honestly can't find the words to express how excited I am that angry white women are becoming a growing trend now.
As a powerful collective, they've been silent about the issues of race for long enough, and if they ever expect us to see them as true allies moving forward, we need a lot more of their righteous indignation thrown into these discussions. The sad (and sobering) truth is, in this country, their voices still travel further than ours do, even when we're all saying the exact same thing.

I started listening to stories about the Poudre River and the people of the Poudre when I was a young boy.
My grandparents sat in the evenings and told stories at Sunnyside, riverside property they bought for $100 in 1929 in Poudre Park, a hamlet in the lower Poudre Canyon in the northern Colorado Rockies. There, they built a cabin.
Their neighbors stopped by at dusk and drank coffee or soft drinks. More stories were told.
Before long, I was collecting their stories in what I imagined as a special collections library in my mind.
Decades later, I filed away more stories during the years when the local water district tried unsuccessfully to dam the Poudre River.
In 2000, I received a federal grant to write a history of the Cache la Poudre-North Park Scenic and Historic Byway, a 101-mile stretch of Colorado Highway 14 that starts in the east in Fort Collins, Colorado, and ends in the west in the high-mountain town of Walden. The byway goes along the Poudre River and through the Poudre Canyon–and right by Poudre Park, where we live at Sunnyside.
In addition to this blog, I write a personal blog, GaryKimsey.com. I also edited and write for WritersWithNoBorders.com, a blog for writers around the nation.
Well, that's my personal story, in the proverbial nutshell. Please feel free to contact me at poudrewolf@aol.com.

Reopening Youth Summer Learning Programs
Education and Early Childhood Success
Expanded Learning
The unprecedented public health emergency caused by the novel Coronavirus has created tremendous challenges for cities across the country. In March, over 124,000 U.S. public and private K-12 schools closed their buildings impacting at least 55.1 million children and youth who were sent home to transition to virtual/distance learning.
While every school district across the country offered different formats and dosage of virtual learning opportunities, what remained the same across communities was that millions of youth who lack access to essential broadband and internet connectivity were left behind and fully disconnected from school.
In response, a number of cities collaborated with cross-sector partners to address the myriad of needs youth had as a result of school closures. They transitioned to distributing technology and internet equipment, establishing safe food distribution sites, while also developing online program opportunities to support youth during the summer months.
Historically afterschool and summer learning programs have played an important role to curb academic loss, prevent summer slide, keep young people active and healthy, and prepare youth for the workforce. As the school year ended and states and cities are reopening, summer programs should provide support to students, families, and communities during the COVID-19 crisis. In providing this vital support, the utmost attention should be given to the health and safety of staff and those individuals served.
Below are several steps that local leaders can take to balance the need to serve and support families during the summer months and keep community residents safe, as well as considerations for reopening summer programs:
Assess Need for Services
Consider virtual opportunities to connect with youth and families to include the voices of residents, especially those who are particularly underserved, in the programs and processes by hosting virtual townhalls, individual case management, and/ other needs assessments.
Connect with cross-sector partners and/or reopening task forces at the local and state level to ensure that policies, practices, and procedures are inclusive and equitable. This will help inform the community's needs while assessing the capacity of youth-serving organizations to support youth and families in your community.
Transition content and program opportunities to virtual when possible to maintain social and emotional connections and academic opportunities for young people, especially for underserved students, in alignment with changing physical distancing guidelines. Find Virtual Program resources from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) here.
Plan ahead for Fall 2020 School re-opening. While collecting the voices of community members on their summer needs, ask questions about their anticipated need next school year if schools remain partially closed, have virtual learning components, or staggered schedules. Many needs will remain so this data will allow cities and their partners to put plans in place to support families with community-based activities while schools are closed.
Encourage school district leaders to incorporate questions about students' afterschool needs into their district-wide parent surveys so community leaders are aware of the needs and can begin to have these conversations about how to support children and families when schools open.
Considerations for Re-Opening of in-person Summer Learning Programs & Camps
Meet with city program staff and youth practitioners (virtually) to assess comfort and whether staffing accommodations need to be made. Allow time for staff to identify as vulnerable individuals as defined by the
Determine which facilities have enough space to implement physical distancing in alignment with public health recommendations while considering high need areas.
Consider converting other large public or private facilities that may be unused or underutilized during this time (city-owned convention centers, senior centers, churches, museums, libraries, etc.) for youth program usage if program sites do not have appropriate space to allow for physical distancing,
Identify the number of youth that can be served at each site and the number of staff that are available based on community engagement, cross-sector partnerships, and in accordance with state and local re-opening guidelines. In some cases, youth program groups may not exceed 10 youth and one adult per room or per a certain square footage area.
Based on the contagion rate, ensure that all staff and youth have appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Masks are recommended for children three and older.
Identify the best method to conduct health screenings based on the CDC's three recommendations.
Determine the supplies needed for increased cleaning and disinfecting of objects and surfaces by following CDC guidance.
Based upon community engagement and up-to-date public health policies, consider a phased re-opening that prioritizes vulnerable youth and children of critical infrastructure workers.
Implementation of Re-Opening
Develop a written plan to codify and communicate health and safety protocol with staff, families and stakeholders including physical distancing considerations, PPE requirements, and guidelines for entering facilities.
Connect with the school district and community-based organizations to provide summer learning activities that would help curb academic loss and/or create opportunities for youth to develop social-emotional skills.
Designate at least one individual from the city to act as the primary contact for youth, parents/ legal guardians, and staff.
Consider virtual training for staff to ensure that summer program and respective city employees understand the new policies and procedures prior to returning to the program.
Confirm with the CDC's Youth Programs and Camps During COVID-19 Pandemic checklist that policies and procedures meet health and safety guidelines.
Identify the appropriate agencies to provide updates of operating status and program vacancies as municipalities and states may vary in reopening approvals and timelines.

IR Blu Ray Review: SICARIO – DAY OF THE SOLDADO [Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]
Following up on a singular film like "Sicario" is a hard prospect. The essence is that bigger isn't always better but also the texture of certain films cannot be replicated. Denis Villenueve (who elected to make "Blade Runner 2049" instead of this film) had such a specific notion of the texture with its sheer brutality and overtones along with a protagonist point of view and an extended superstructure which made it extremely unique. "Day Of The Soldado" fares better than most sequels simply because the ideas behind it are even more prevalent than when the first film was made and even since this sequel itself was released in theaters with everything that is happening along the Mexican border near San Diego. The essence is that the two lead characters of Matt and Alejandro (as played by Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro respectively) have to grow and be held accountable in certain ways for their actions. Of course, there is no way to parallel or even come close to the conclusion of the original "Sicario" which this reviewer initially stated in a way as a "reverse Scarface" after seeing it at the premiere in Cannes a couple years back. Here there is no true segment like that though one involving Alejandro in the desert is pretty wrenching and oddly enough sets another structure in motion that might be interesting to contemplate should the story continue. The director in Stefano Sollima, an Italian filmmaker who made the TV series "Gomarrah" on the mafia in Italy was a great choice but again is no Denis. However with original writer Tye Sheridan writing the sequel and completely understanding the machinations of his world and Darius Wolski who has shot "Fight Club" & "Se7en" for David Fincher, the behind the scenes elements are up to scale. Even Isabella Moner who helped lead the most recent "Transformers" movie shows a definite range as the kidnapped daughter of a drug lord here and holds her own. The Special Features on the disc are succinct and very intuitive of the characters and what the film is trying to achieve from the locations and "making of" to hyperfocusing with the actors on what makes the characters tick. "Day Of Soldado" is not its predecessor but it does a good job in trying to maintain the bar.

The Wolfman [Universal – 2010] – BD Review
The reality in creating an update of the classic Universal horror monster movies is finding the best balance between true horror and schlock. Bringing in exceptional actors balances the table but with all the digital effects possible, it becomes an idea of how much you see of either one presented here. The texture of the new "Wolfman" revolves around the Victorian basis of position but with a modern twist. The deliverance of the metaphor obviously works back to a father and son dynamic. The psychological references that pepper the picture at many points seem to gloss over this deeper truth. The balance lies in the fact that the film wants to be both adherent to today's audience but also maintaining its identity to the monster pictures of the past. Inherently this is where it misfires because the naivete of that era and the information personification of our age simply does not gel together. The gore works its intensity well while being more visceral than simply bloody. The best part of the picture inherently is in the asylum but the film does not linger there long. The realization of Talbot, played by Benicio Del Toro, as he is strapped in the chair relating that the people in the room are dead is an inherent turning point. Anthony Hopkins plays his father Lord Talbot, who also has a deadly secret of his own, with the same kind of revel he enjoys in these kinds of showy roles. However the finesse of directors like Francis Coppola in a film like "Dracula" gave his performance in that earlier film as Van Helsing a little more definition. The transfer here looks crisp which would be undeniable coming off a digital negative but for a reason the movie still retains (especially with the exteriors in the country estate) a very film feel. Many of sets in the film are digital extensions but Joe Johnston uses this idea to continuing effect since many of them seem seamless with the exception of the London rooftops. Hugo Weaving plays Inspector Francis Aberline investigating the wolf tinged murders but can do little more at times than grimace at the camera as the character basically is a rivet for moving the plot forward. Danny Elfman's music of course elevates the picture as well since the central theme motivates the progression. In terms of extras, no commentary is available although the BD does include both the unrated and theatrical version which are very similar though maybe with an ounce less of blood. The beheadings still come rampantly.
The extras, relevant beyond the texture of the digital copy which (with the advent of the IPad/ITouch) is inevitably poignant, rests within the ideals of the craft. "The Beast Maker" involves the considerable talents of Rick Baker who recently did Robert Downey Jr.'s make-up for "Tropic Thunder" but also is known for his initial work on "Star Wars: A New Hope", "The Fury", "Videodrome" and the seminal "American Werewolf In London". Like Benicio Del Toro who is also a co-producer on thW film, Baker loved the ideal of updating "The Wolfman" but it was also the excitement of placing Oscar winning actors like Hopkins and the after-mentioned Del Toro in the middle of the prosthetics but allowing their physical and mental selves to show through that was the real draw. "Return To The Wolfman" shows a similar penchant which relates mostly Benicio Del Toro's intense enthusiasm for the character since it was these kind of monster movies that made him want to become an actor in the first place. Director Joe Johnston's elements of working with Steven Spielberg, most recently on "Jurassic Park III" gave him an interesting but broad understanding of the genre. What is interesting is the persistance of doing the R rating. The differences in moral ambiguity emerge in the deleted scenes and extended endings. The most intrinsic of the deleted scenes which shows a little more humor is an extended run through London though the brevity seems out of sync with the rest of the film. The alternate endings offer different progressions but hardly hark back to the humanity of the character like the eventually used theatrical cut. "The Wolfman Unleashed" and "Transformation Secrets" highlight the stunt work and visual effects integration with distinct detail giving balance to practical versus CGI which is undeniably needed because audiences are handily advanced in detecting lines in the cloth in the modern age. "The Wolfman" also looks distinctly dark on BD if by design giving it a looming presence. In terms of a the film, it bounds as an exercise in good form without being overtly emotional or cinematic. Out of 5, I give the BD a 2 1/2.

Coronavirus and the States: Plastic Bag Bans on Hold; Nuclear Plants Running Low on Gloves, Masks and Wipes
Stateline Update March 27, 2020 By: Matt Vasilogambros Read time:

Read Stateline coverage of the latest state action on coronavirus.
Several states have put their plastic bag bans on hold or banned the use of reusable bags to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The Plastic Industry Association has called state and city plastic bag bans "a public safety risk." Reusable bags, industry leaders claim, can spread the virus.
Scientific evidence of this is uncertain, however, as studies that link bacteria to reusable bags were funded by plastic and chemical manufacturers. Greenpeace USA called this recent effort by the plastic industry "cynical, selfish and opportunistic."
Eight states ban the use of single-use plastic bags — a growing trend in the United States. At least two of those states have now delayed their plastic bag bans out of caution.
New York's ban, signed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo last year, was supposed to go into effect March 1. That was pushed until May 15. In Maine, which last year banned single-used plastic bags, state lawmakers pushed their ban from April to next January.
New Hampshire and Massachusetts, which do not ban plastic bags, have banned reusable bags instead.

More Testing Sites Open
More testing sites opened throughout the nation, but many people still found it difficult to get tested.
Florida had serious concerns about its testing capacity. The state conducted 27,000 tests so far, just more than New York is testing each day. Health officials say that's not enough, especially given the state's high population of seniors.
Another mobile testing site is being built in Miami-Dade County, but it will be limited to patients 65 and older who are showing symptoms.
A woman in Florida who is in a medically induced coma with pneumonia in both lungs has waited 11 days without test results. Her story is likely one of many in Palm Beach County, which is conducting the fewest tests per capita of any major Florida county.
"It's completely unacceptable," Democratic state Rep. Emily Slosberg told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "It's March 26, and Palm Beach County has no testing sites."
Drive-thru testing sites in Hillsborough County on Florida's Gulf Coast were overwhelmed with requests and stopped taking appointments.
Mississippi opened a pair of one-day-only tests sites Friday in areas with limited other testing options. In New Jersey, Burlington County opened a testing site but could see only 160 patients.
In California, Google has 1,000 volunteers working on sister company Verily's testing platform. Three more mobile testing sites opened in San Francisco, reserved for frontline workers and at-risk people.
Meanwhile, one pathologist warned states to expect a 10% to 15% rate of false negatives in their test results.
Nuclear Sites Could Run Out of Critical Supplies
Nuclear sites across the country might soon run out of gloves, masks and wipes. The U.S. Energy Department said the priority was to supply those items to health care workers and others on the frontline of the coronavirus epidemic.
That means thousands of nuclear power plant workers across the country may not have the protection needed to do their jobs. Nuclear Energy Institute CEO Maria Korsnick anticipated the shortage as early as last week, when she asked U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette for supplies and testing kits.
To be sure, not every plant expects to run out of masks. The Tennessee Valley Authority this week donated more than 50,000 masks to state emergency responders, according to spokeswoman Melinda Hunter.
Still, the TVA has worked to adapt to the crisis, including reducing power at some plants. One of its plants, Sequoyah, downsized its refueling crew from 1,000 to 800. No TVA worker had tested positive for COVID-19 as of Thursday.
Regulators also have been scrambling to adapt. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will allow plants to operate with fewer workers on duty for longer hours, said Scott Burnell, a spokesman for the agency, in an email.
Environmental activists say now is not the time to cut corners and risk a nuclear accident. "An accident with a major release of radiation or the threat of it during this time of pandemic and social isolation would be a double whammy," said Don Safer, a member of the board of the Tennessee Environmental Council, which advocates for renewable energy. "A major evacuation now would be chaos."
Nuclear power plants operate in 35 states, and nearly two-thirds of Americans live within 50 miles of nuclear waste.
Waste Control Specialists, the company that operates a nuclear waste site in Andrews, Texas, employs more than a hundred people, according to spokesman Thomas Graham. "Our company is crucial to the local economy," Graham said, "especially when the regional economy already is hurting because of what's happening in the oil and gas industry."
State Legislators Pass Aid Measures
Using private conference calls to protect lawmakers' health, the Minnesota legislature approved a massive $330 million package in one day and sent it to Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.
The biggest chunk is $200 million for state agencies. The measure also includes $30 million in grants to child care centers, $40 million in grants and loan guarantees for small businesses, and money for food banks, veterans, homeless shelters and Native American tribes.
Legislators also temporarily waived the one-week waiting period for unemployment benefits.
"Today's vote is another legislative step to address this public health crisis, but we know there are more issues we will need to address in the coming days, weeks, and months," Democratic House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler said in a statement.
In Kentucky, both chambers unanimously approved an emergency package aimed at helping workers and businesses. Among its provisions: Removing the waiting period to collect unemployment benefits and expanding eligibility to include the self-employed and those working fewer hours.
It also would let restaurants sell food items such as bread, milk and groceries and allow administrative licensing fees to be suspended or waived for businesses that have been ordered to close.
In addition, the measure extends the deadline for filing state income taxes, lifts restrictions on telehealth and gives health care providers who render care "in good faith" to patients with the virus immunity from civil liability.
In Rhode Island, the state's Disaster Emergency Funding Board — comprised of House and Senate leaders — approved a plan for the state to borrow up to $300 million from the federal government and other sources. Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo appeared before the board, urging it to pass the plan.
In Massachusetts, the Senate approved a measure that would expand the scope of practice for certain health care professionals during the pandemic. It would allow a variety of advanced practice nurses to treat patients without a doctor's supervision.
And in Alaska, Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy signed into law bills that would expand unemployment benefits and double minimum internet speeds at the state's schools.
Drivers Get a Reprieve in Many States
People with expiring driver's licenses, vehicle registrations or with deadlines to check vehicle emissions were given a reprieve.
Most states have extended deadlines by 30, 60 or 90 days past the expiration date, according to a running tally kept by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. More states are adding grace periods every day, the association said.
In Illinois, for example, Secretary of State Jesse White closed Driver Service offices statewide through at least April 7, and extended expiration dates for driver's licenses, identification cards, vehicle registrations and other transactions for the "duration of the disaster," as proclaimed by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and "30 days after the disaster ends."
And several states are asking law enforcement to lighten up. In California, Ohio and Oregon, for example, the state motor vehicle departments have requested that "law enforcement use discretion and adjust enforcement" of driver's license and registration violations, the association reported.

Abbott promises action to prevent future power grid failures
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott promised action to prevent a future power grid failure like the one last week that left millions of people without electricity for days as an arctic blast gripped the state.
"Tragic does not even begin to describe the devastation and the suffering that you have endured over the past week," Abbott said as he spoke to Texans from the State Emergency Operations Center during a statewide address Wednesday.
Abbott repeated his statement that puts the onus of the crisis at the feet of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, where six board officials resigned this week. He said ERCOT assured state officials that the grid was ready for the record-setting cold and ice that swept the Lone Star State. He said the agency charged with managing the state's electric grid should've acted faster to get it stabilized.
"Many of you are angry, and you have a right to be," Abbott said. "I'm angry too."
Abbott said the system that was needed the most during the storm "broke" and he laid out a set of priorities aimed at stopping future problems.
First, the governor said lawmakers are working on ways to help Texans slapped with sky-high energy bills after last week's storm. He said companies are prevented from disconnecting people from their water or power services until the Legislature has had time to act.
Abbott said his second priority is to overhaul ERCOT. He said he's pleased with the resignations of several board members but "more must be done." He said he wants to add more power to the grid and ensure that Texas never runs out of power again.
Finally, Abbott again called on lawmakers to mandate winterization of Texas' power infrastructure and to set aside the money need to do it.
The governor said the legislative session will not end until the problem is addressed.


With our new Mystery Math Town app set to launch in a matter of weeks, we decided to run a free promo to give our app titles a jolt ahead of the new release. And what better way to do it than with our old friends at Moms With Apps and the generous support of the App Friday team.
We made Marble Math free (normally $1.99) on Friday 3/8 for the promotion. This is the first time Marble Math has been free since its June release.
Normally, we send a press release to announce our promotions but we decided to run this giveaway with only direct support from our network and social media.
I tried to run a couple of paid/promoted Facebook posts but both were rejected for having too many words in the images (apparently, your image cannot be more than 20% text). I'll have more on this this at another time in another post, but let's just say it was frustrating to say the least.
On the other hand, I feel nothing but love for Twitter and it appears the feeling is mutual. I don't know who told the virtual coupon clippers that we were giving away our app, but they showed up in force on Friday and I salute them, and #freeapp loving tweeters everywhere, for their tidal wave of support. It's really amazing when you can just stand back and watch your SM stream light up with strangers promoting your app for you.
We also got a nice boost from App Advice as they included Marble Math in their Friday Apps Gone Free feature. They asked us to let the promo run an extra day to make sure everyone had a chance to download the app, so we extended the offer through Saturday.
With over 75,000 apps in the Education category, it's getting harder and harder to make a dent in the Top 100 charts and I was expecting the resistance to Top 5 would be so great it would be virtually impenetrable.
Nevertheless, Top 5 was our target.
Marble Math peaked at #3 on the Education charts (yes, I was up at 5am Sat) with over 20k downloads on Friday.
In other words, we passed Mickey Mouse on the Education charts.
We added another 10k downloads on Sat.
Even better, Marble Math pulled the rest of the Marble Math family up with it. Paid sales for Marble Math Junior went up considerably and downloads for our free Marble Math Lite: Multiplication also bounced.
Today ranks and sales are settling back to the usual Top 150 to 200 but still better than average for this time of year.
We asked for a jolt and that's exactly what we got.
Hopefully, we can ride this wave right into our Mystery Math Town launch in a few weeks.
