Free Beer Mandate
It all started at the Tune Inn. The age-old dive on Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast has been the launching pad for countless forays into "innovative policy initiatives," and this one was no exception. A few Capitol Hill staff alumni had gathered for an informal reunion in the back room, beyond the louts, the lobbyists, and the endless stream of boorish interns.
They were all Democrats.
"We gotta do something about the youth vote," a former Wiener staffer whined. "They're not excited about Obama any more, and Bruce Springsteen just ain't cuttin' it like he used to."
"Well, I feel that Obama isn't helping, frankly," groused an ex-welfare-liaison-facilitator. "Maybe if he forgives student debts by November – at least for government workers, you know? – maybe he can turn it around. But those stingy Republi-cons won't let that happen. The way things are going, next thing you know he'll send his daughters to party–hearty in Argentina like Bush did." Shaking her head, she ordered another beer. Doom descended on the table as a raucous bunch of interns looked into the room from the door. She cringed.
"No action in here," one of them yelled, and off they went, on the prowl, back to the pack.
"Look at them," said the scruffy lawyer, drawing pictures on the table with his beer mug. "they're running the country, they're all under twenty-five, and they're clueless. If the voters only knew."
"Yeah," chimed in the Wiener grad. "Talk about the density of the masses."
The lawyer's furrowed brow furrowed further. "You know what," he said. "I bet they're all for Ron Paul. Four years ago they were all hot for Obama and "Change" – now our guys at the DNC tell us that Paul has the under-thirties! We gotta find a way to get'em back. We just gotta!"
Glum grimaces worked their way around the table. The bill came.
"Good grief," said the Wienerite. "Eighty-two dollars and sixty-five cents. Seven bucks for a beer!"
"Well, we gotta lotta wars goin' on," chuckled the lawyer, digging for his wallet. "Whaddya want, free beer?"
The light bulb turned on.
"That' it!" He threw some money on the table, reached for his Blackberry, and furiously punched the keys as he left. "See you, guys." He headed out for his office at HHS – the Department of Harassment and Handout Services.
A week later, HHS Secretary Saccharine Cerebrius announced the "ObamaBeer Mandate."
"Throughout the country, our administration has encouraged schoolchildren to feel good about themselves," she told a packed auditorium at the annual convention of the National Beer Brewers Association. "But today, we find that many adults just don't feel that good any more. Our studies indicate that, if such an anomaly persists over time, such Americans are more likely to underperform at work, to get sick, and, ultimately, to impose a significant burden on the taxpayer. So we have asked America's best minds – you know, our most highly-compensated HHS grantees at major universities – to confront this problem, and they have responded with alacrity. I am pleased indeed to observe that their verdict was virtually unanimous. And based on their scientific investigations, and our own deliberations and consultation with the Congress, today I am truly proud to announce a program that will reinvigorate America. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we can alleviate the loss of zest, elàn, and confidence in our population today. The answer is simple: Free Beer."
The crowd roared.
Within days, Alcoholics Anonymous announced its first known public opposition to a federal program in its history. "This policy requires all of our members to subsidize a behavior which we consider immoral," their spokesman said. "We consider it to be a violation of our conscience rights, as well as those of millions of Americans. Moreover, we urge the administration to consider the deleterious impact that free beer will have on social cohesion, the family, and individual responsibility."
He was immediately hooted and hectored. Pansy Nelosi, the swaggering alcoholic and beer advocate, made a beeline for the floor of the House. "This is a gross canard cut out of whole cloth," she thundered. "Ninety-eight percent of alcoholics drink beer!"
Nelosi then called a meeting with other Democrats to hear the tearful story of Sucha Flake, a law student who moonlighted as a bartendress at a pickup bar on M street. Although Flake was thirty years old, she was still in school, and she spoke poignantly of the plight of her fellow student inebriates.
"I attend an Alcoholics Anonymous law school that does not provide beer coverage in its student health plan. Just as we students have faced financial, emotional, and medical burdens as a result, employees at sober hospitals and universities across the country have suffered similar burdens. We are all grateful for the new ObamaBeer regulation that will meet the critical health care needs of so many women and our partners. For me, this is deeply personal. I have one friend who can't go to sleep at night without consuming a six-pack. Since a good night's sleep is a prerequisite for getting to class on time in the morning, for getting good grades, and for getting that all-important government job after we graduate, I think it's time that the Obama administration remove the stigma of furtive students paying big bucks for false ID's, as well as the painful decision many of us students must face every night – forced to choose between having a decent meal or going out for a few beers."
"When I look around my campus," Flake continued between dainty dabs at her tearful cheeks with a tissue thoughtfully supplied by the taxpayer, "I see the faces of the women affected, and I have heard more and more of their stories. On a daily basis, I hear from yet another woman from AA Law or other schools or who works for a sober employer who has suffered financial, emotional, and medical burdens because of this lack of beer coverage. And so, I am here to share their voices and I thank you for allowing them to be heard, even though they could not appear today because they're all drunk."
"Without ObamaBeer," she went on, "an active beer life can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that's practically an entire summer's salary. Forty percent of female students at AA Law report struggling financially as a result of this policy. One woman told us of how embarrassed and powerless she felt when she was standing at the bar, learning for the first time that beer wasn't free. The poor dear had to walk away sober because she couldn't afford it." After a pause to collect her emotions, Flake continued. "Women like her have no choice but to go without beer," she fairly sobbed. "Just last week, a married female student told me she had to stop drinking beer because she couldn't afford it any longer. Her partner, naturally, was outraged, and nearly assaulted her. 'Bring me beer,' he shouted, 'or else!'"
"There are similar stories, dear Congresspeople, across the breadth and depth of this land, and in every corner of your congressional districts. Imagine! Women employed in low wage jobs without beer coverage face the same hard choice. Ladies and gentlemen, you have no idea how many millions of women have to go to bed stone cold sober every night because there is no ObamaBeer!"
The Democrats were unnaturally silent. Finally, Pansy Nelosi rose quietly, walked over to Flake, and gently bestowed a kiss upon her brow. "I promise you, Sucha, that I will not allow a bunch of cranky old white men who are on the wagon to force their 'Twelve Steps' on you and your fellow students," she cooed. "There's no way that we will allow Alcoholics Anonymous to cause a new era of Prohibition to cast its dark shadow upon our land." A burst of applause swept through the room.
On his radio program the next day, talk-show host Rush Limbaugh attacked Flake. "She spends three thousand dollars a year on beer," he roared. "What does that make her? It makes her a souse, right? It makes her a drunken sot."
Outrage ensued. Within days, after Obama had called Flake personally and invited her to the Oval Office for a few beers, Limbaugh apologized.
The old gang met at the Tune Inn when it was all over, smiles and beers brimming all around. The crowd was raucous, every table was packed. There was no quiet corner to be found. The mood was festive.
"Great job, guys," said the lawyer. "Great job." Shy grins and raised glasses greeted his accolade.
The bill came – $187.65.
He flashed his ObamaCare card at the waiter, who scanned it and handed him a receipt. "Guys," he said, his bright eyes sweeping the table, "Guys — next time we're gonna do cocaine."
"Hey, thanks for the tip," said the waitress.

Ok, this was super easy when I was using Cakewalk back in the days, but there seems to be different ways of exporting audio for a mixing engineer who isn't necessarily using Pro Tools.
Let's say for arguments sake, I have 30 tracks. 10 stereo, 20 in Mono. Stereo and mono all have different panning and what not and some are 100% left and right and sone mono tracks are right down the middle. Guitar distortion effects are printed, as is bass and everything else including stringed instruments and keyboards. The works.
How do I simply export all those tracks at the same time, as they are, as I hear them, both stereo and mono with all the permitters in place into WAV files for a mixing engineer? Volume levels, panning, etc, etc..
Step 1-create a folder for each song in a handy place. This could be inside the session folder or on the desktop(my preference) or anywhere that makes sense for you.
Step 2-make all audio on every track a single audio file and have them all start at the same time stamp(consolidate to zero is pretty simple).
Step 5-right-click on the CLIPS bin and choose Export Clips as Files. Choose sample rate and bit depth(matching the session is a good choice) and then choose the destination. Select the folder you made in step 1 and export.
Once finished, check the folder to see if all the clips are there(they will be if you didn't miss a step).
What??? He doesn't use pro tools???? Just kidding, I had to say it.
Dave, while your method is exactly what I would use, the OP here wants to export post pan and volume. In essence, it sounds like he wants to export every track as a unique stem where they can be dropped into another DAW and have the exact same mix at unity. There's no simple way to do this in Pro Tools.
He is using Pro Tools so what did mean by that comment?
He "Used" to run Cakewalk, Didn't say he "use" Cakewalk now ..
He was jokingly referring to who I would be sending WAV files to, not using Pro Tools..
So how exactly would they turn out with Dave's method? Volumes all back to 0db and all panning set back to 0?
Yes. Which is typically what a mix engineer wants. I've never had one want me to apply the rough mix destructively before turning the session over.
Only solution is to print every track, this can be done in one pass if the track count is not too large when doubled.

beavers33, you doing a new MN HS Tourney game this year?
Best Coaches that Don't CB or Pass Shoot?
I don't have time to adapt! Hahaha.
I still never use CB. Just haven't practiced and have no idea how to use it properly. I probably only pass shoot 1/10 games.
Hard to say because I'm self employed and am pretty much always working, but usually I can make myself available on Monday and Tuesday nights from 8:30-10:30 and weekends around the same time.
Raph, could you please do the baby blues for home? http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/pycehreub4fzt9ohyxxpf4uhg/Atlanta_Thrashers/2008/Home_Uniform Regular whites for away. http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/ug85soqxnimrtylrhqqqjeexm/Atlanta_Thrashers/2008/Road_Uniform Thanks!
In and relocating to Atlanta as the Thrashers.
Alright, guys. I've got nine games left. RoBro - 4 VC - 2 EA - 2 - No availability until 2/29. Ice - 1 I will be available on Saturday and Sunday. Please schedule with me ahead of time. EA, we need to get our games in on 2/29.
Would also need to squeeze in our two on 2/29. Would 7-8:30 PM CST work?


The leaf colour often starts out a rich chocolate brown, with hints of purple and bronze in the sun. These are flaxes too big to be ignored, though I didn't realise when I planted my first ones that they'd be quite that big!
A big browny-bronze flax used to fill the triangular piece of garden by the east side of the house. This was under-planted with pink and red leaved Coprosmas and had a huge Mutabilis rose for its next-door neighbour.
Some days when I looked at it I was certain I'd made a big mistake - this flax was far too big. After one snowstorm the leaves all collapsed sideways - not a good look! It stayed like this for many weeks. Eventually, I'm sorry to say, it just outgrew this position. Large flaxes planted near house windows - not such a good idea!
Another large bronze flax sits like a sentinel in the Pond Border, marking the corner with its huge weeping leaves. It has brilliant dark brown stems covered in black-red flax flowers in summer - the bellbirds can often be found drinking the nectar. This flax was lucky - it had to be scooped out by a digger needing access to the pond. I just dragged it back into the planting hole and stomped around the sides. Whew! No problem.
Yet another big bronze flax used to mark the narrow grass gap between the Apple Tree and the Wattle Woods. Finally, after years of indulgence (and complaints from the mower of the Moosey lawns), I had the courage to chop this one down. It was the least colourful of my large weeping bronze flaxes - the colour had turned a rather drab olive-bronze.
Mixed in with pretty flower colour, large flaxes look absolutely beautiful. It's just a pity that 'large' changes quickly to 'larger'.

Red & Ruby's CD Recording
We were lucky enough to be invited to Red & Ruby's CD recording. For those who don't know, Red & Ruby are Vince Brown and Lavon Hardison. They wanted their CD to have a live feel so they invited a bunch of friends and told us to feel free to respond naturally. They wanted to capture the applause, the occasional shout, the laughter. And there was plenty of that.
Lavon said she comes from a classical background where everything has to be perfect, and it took her a long time to get used to Vince's more relaxed style (she said she couldn't stand him the first three years they were together).
They had barely started the recording session before I regretted not bringing a note pad and pen, because I wanted to blog about it but couldn't trust my spotty memory to get the details right. What was that song she played kazoo on? Not "Sweet Georgia Brown." That was the one where she made kazoo sounds with her mouth, but the other one where she played a real kazoo. See what I mean about wanting to take notes.
There were somewhere between 20 and 30 people there, and they were a lively crowd. Snacks were served, and sparkling water. The studio belongs to local jazz musician Greta Jane. It's a fabulous space that doubles as her home and studio located in an old downtown building with entrance through an unmarked door in an alley.
During two songs with lively rhythm a couple of women got up and danced. The applause at the end of each song was genuine. Nothing canned about this session.
Lavon Hardison has a fabulous voice. She can be tender and outrageous and as clear as a bell. She goes easily from scat singing to moody blues to lovely ballads with singing that recalls everyone from Ella Fitzgerald to Josephine Baker. Vince Brown plays the smoothest, most rhythmical guitar you'll ever want to hear.
The CD will be released sometime in February. There will be a CD release party, but I don't know the date. Nor do I know the title of the album. But I'm sure I can get that information in time to publish it before the recording hits the streets.

Q: Calcular porcentajes en Visual Basic Tengo un problema al tratar de calcular un porcentaje.
Tengo un formulario con un maskedtextbox con este formato 00% y un textbox para digitar una cantidad y otro para recibir el calculo
textbox1       maskedtextbox         resultado      textbox1         textbox2

1000      *         10%         =       100     +     1000      =      1100

La cadena no tiene el formato correcto:
Dim precio, ganancia, resultado As Double
precio = Convert.ToDouble(txtpreciocompra.Text)
ganancia = Convert.ToDouble(txtganancia.Text) 'txtganancia es el maskedtextbox'
resultado = precio * ganancia / 100 +precio
txtprecioventa.Text = resultado.ToString

A: al momento de realizar el calculo solo esta haciendo la conversion a double del textbox olvidandome de que en realidad era un maskedtextbox obviamente tenia que excluir las literales para poder trabajar solo con los valores.
txtganancia.TextMaskFormat = MaskFormat.ExcludePromptAndLiterals
ganancia = Convert.ToDouble(txtganancia.Text) / 100

Another RuCap: All Stars 3, Episode 1
One thing that you may not know about me is that I am what's known as a "Drag Race Superfan", or "RuHo" for short. I am obsessed with this show, it's one that I watch every year and every queen in some way delights me. In fact, on this very blog (OK, reposted from my Moviepilot days) I did a speculation of who was going to be in this very cast… I did pretty well, 6/10, that's a pass. I've also made a list (Again, a repost) of lip syncs from the series that got overlooked. So I think it's safe to say that I was so excited for this season, and to see just what these queens brought so every week I'm going to provide a quick recap (Heh, quick, like that'll happen. I have an hour to get through and 10 queens to talk about, grab snacks now because we're going through everything that happened) along with my personal opinions on what happens. There will be spoilers, lots of them so be warned that from here on out we're going to be spilling all the T… that doesn't sound as good in pure text form as it does when said out loud. Anyway, Let's begin.

What Bible Is John Hagee Reading?
It has been my privilege to join Congregation Rodfei Sholom in San Antonio for the celebration of Passover with Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg. Four cups of wine are served at the Passover with a meal that symbolized the tears and suffering of the Hebrew slaves in Egypt.
•	The first cup is the cup of Remembrance.
•	The second cup is the cup of Redemption.
•	The third cup is the cup of Salvation.
•	The fourth cup is the cup of Messiah.
When Jesus and his disciples came to the final cup during their last celebration of the Passover, Jesus refused to drink the Messiah's cup. He told his disciples, "Take this [Messiah's cup] and divide it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes" (Luke 22:17-18).


View Cart "MBS International Airport: X-Plane 11 Edition" has been added to your cart.
MBS International Airport for X-Plane 11 is our most feature-rich and detailed airport product to date. The airport serves the cities of Midland, Bay City and Saginaw in Freeland County, Michigan. It's situated 100nm north-west of Detroit and approximately 200nm from both Toronto and Chicago.
MBS is a great airport for a balance between commercial flying and general aviation. It's 8000ft primary runway serves a selection of commercial aircraft in the real world, which operate out of the new passenger terminal. On the other side of the 6000ft secondary runway, you can find a range of service hangers next to the general aviation and corporate jet apron. General aviation pilots are also treated with an isolated disused WW2 runway; a challenge to the aviation skills of those who endeavour.
The passenger terminal features a fully modeled interior, accurate to real-world blueprints, allowing you to walk through and explore as a passenger. As a pilot parked at one of its 6 gates you can look through the terminal windows and see every detail inside the building. The jetways are highly detailed and accurate representations of their real-world counterpart.
Over on the corporate jet apron is another highly detailed interior of one of the main hangers. Pilots can choose to start or end their flight from inside this hanger.
A range of brand new HD service vehicles, cars and trucks have been placed at this airport. Each of these new vehicles has been meticulously developed, using on-site photographs as reference. Each new vehicle has a cab interior and transparent glass, adding a new level of depth and immersion.
Runway's, taxiway's and apron surfaces are represented with high definition textures based on real-world surface photography, providing an unrivaled level of visual realism while taxiing around the airport.
The dense population of RealFlora in use at MBS provides a realistic variety of grasses and ground plants across the airport, delivering a very convincing feel of overgrowth at the abandoned section of WW2 runway.
MBS airport sits in a rural expanse of fertile land, surrounded by farms and smallholdings, this scenery perfectly recreates these visually recognizable landmarks in immense detail. Individually modeled farms with grain silo's, water towers, wind generators and barns surround the airport, providing a huge amount of realism on approach and departure.
For installation assistance please refer to Threshold's fantastic guide on how to install scenery.

Home Events & Awards Agencies of the Year 2019 Agencies of the Year Asia-Pacific Digital Consultancies of the Year
2019 Digital PR Consultancies of the Year
The 2019 Asia-Pacific PR Consultancies of the Year are the result of an exhaustive research process involving more than 125 submissions and meetings with the best PR firms across the region.
Consultancy of the Year winners are announced and honoured at the 2019 Asia-Pacific SABRE Awards, which take place on 12 September in Singapore. Analysis of all Finalists and Winners can be accessed via the navigation menu to the right or below:
Winner: Edelman (DJE Holdings)
Edelman's digital capabilities continue to showcase the firm's flair for innovation, particularly when it comes its data and analytics operations, which remains one of the sharpest in the region. That is demonstrated best by the predictive intelligence centre (EPIC) it has formed in conjunction with Singapore's Economic Development Board, which followed up the impressive Shell Emotion Tracking campaign by winning a string of assignments from HP, Turner, EndowUs Insights and two healthcare clients.
So while much of the industry mistakes predicative analytics for diagnostic activity, Edelman has forged ahead by developing an offering that brings together AI, neural networks and data mining to help clients predict patterns of human behaviour at real scale. For HP, for example, the firm used psychometric modelling to help parents understand how to teach children which tools to use, boosting the value of printing across five markets. For Turner, EPIC is uncovering the motivations and triggers that underpin fandom. For SingTel, the firm is using third party tools to understand B2B audiences, before deploying those insights across performance marketing activities. And in a rare coup, the firm won a major Singapore Traffic Police assignment after pitching against a number of digital agencies.
All of that work has positioned EPIC as a global hub for Edelman's analytics operation, and has functioned as a major growth driver for the agency over the past couple of years. And, of course, it also combines well with the firm's existing strength across all aspects of digital — including those more readily associated with advertising agencies — including such specialist areas as search engine marketing, social media optimisation, and paid media, building centralised hubs that feature skills and talent that each of its markets can tap into on a local basis.
In Singapore, where the firm hired Daryl Ho as digital head, 25 of the office's 110-strong headcount is focused on digital, reflecting the firm's transformation over the past three years. That has been bolsted by investment in such areas as martech training and a partnership with the Ehrenberg Leadership Institute to help develop a common skillset across such areas as content marketing, analytics and storytelling.
Unsurprisingly, the best of the work reflects this impressive range of capabilities, featured in SABRE nominated campaigns such as 'Gut Bacteria Zoo' for Kellogg, PayPal's 2018 Christmas campaign, and 'Discover Choice' for Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. — AS
Ketchum (Omnicom Group)
Rather than attempting to compete via scale, in a region where its regional footprint is dwarfed by several rivals, Ketchum has smartly repositioned its offering around a digital/social-first model that focuses on audience marketing and social commerce. And this approach appears to be paying off, driving significant digital growth in the firm's key markets of China and India, reflected in the fact that more than 50% of its new hires are digital-focused, and demonstrated by numerous digital-led new business wins.
These assignments have included web development for Dupont and AVG, integrated work for Aptamil, Marshall and Haier, and digital-only mandates for Continental China, Motilal Oswal and Skoda. The firm's SABRE nominations comfortably confirms this transformation too, perhaps best exemplified by the Conti Cities visual storytelling and social commerce campaign in China, which not only build awareness but also saw a considerable spike in sales growth. There was also sophisticated 'hyper-local' influencer work for Livat Beijing Shopping Complex, and social commerce activity for ThinkVision, the latter a particular focus in China where it has also completed similar assignments for Bacardi, P&G and AIG.
In Greater China, CEO (and former IPG Mediabrands chief digital officer) Prince Zhang is supported by chief growth officer Eunice Wong, both of whom bring a distinctly digital focus to the agency's work. In India meanwhile, the firm attempting a more ambitious transformation from a traditional corporate/financial firm, but has stepped up hiring and delivered some eye-catching work for the Hockey World Cup and AVG Investments, the last of which included website development, social media work, digital brand ID, programmatic, SEO and paid digital activity..
All of which is underpinned by Ketchum's focus on developing tools and products. The firm's in-house Ketchum Analytics offering, includes the Maestro influencer and amplification tool that was built in Singapore, while there are plans to develop further social commerce and influencer focused platforms in China. — AS
Ogilvy (WPP)
Despite the agency's high-profile restructuring, Ogilvy's ability to blend PR and digital continues to impress in Asia-Pacific, where Andreanne Leclerc oversees a social team that numbers 400 executives across the region. Leclerc is supported by a 13-strong leadership team in Ogilvy's key PR markets, which include China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Shanghai, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Sydney — bringing expertise across social media, influencer management, research, AI, chatbots, digital content and paid media.
All told, the social practice grew by 8.5 % in 2018, underpinned by a series of new business wins including AIA and Beijing 2022 in China, the HKJC, Colgate and Korean Air in Hong Kong, Tripadvisor, JAL and Tokiomarine in Singapore, and Tinder, Bose and Red Bull in other markets. Much of the best work also demonstrated an innovative flavour, too, including AI vision and realtime digital insight activity for IBM, along with chatbot development for Supermi in Indonesia and MSD across the region — all of which was part of product development offering that has delivered nine tools in the digital space.
Unsurprisingly, SABRE judges have taken note. The firm's Early Childhood Development Agency work in Singapore made impressive use of digital channels, while there were also standout digital campaigns for the National Arts Council, Jollibee and NBA Philippines. — AS
RFI Asia (Independent)
Ruder Finn's digital capabilities in Asia include a 50+ person presence across China, Hong Kong, Singapore and India with specific strengths in product development and analytics, all of which is led by RFI Asia MD David Ko. Unsurprisingly, that has bolstered the firm's prowess as an integrated marketing consultancy, particularly in China where its 'digital media centre' works on behalf of a host of automotive, travel and tourism, beauty and F&B clients — across paid media buying on Weibo and WeChat; digital campaign design, branded content and social media management. And that progress was perhaps demonstrated best by the firm's win of the Almond Board of California's integrated marketing assignment versus a competitive field of advertising, digital and PR firms.
RFI's product development, meanwhile, demonstrates a clear focus on innovation, via such efforts as immersive storytelling, 'dark social', marketing chatbots, WhatsApp for business and interactive content. That is supported by an array of products, including the Sonar Crisis Simulation programme; the AI-driven Influenpedia resource that is already being used by Burberry, Longines and Chaumet; and the Beacon influencer heatmap.
All of this adds up to an impressive array of clients, including new business from HSBC, Heineken, McDonald's, Marriott, the Singapore Tourism Board, Tencent, Uber, Estee Lauder and DBS Asia, along with data-focused work for Orbis, CLP, Manulife, Prudential and HSBC. The work is similarly vibrant, including HSBC's CNY Facebook Stories campaign, McDonald's 2018 World Cup initiative in China, Tencent's global social content programme, influencer marketing management for Uber and Marriott, and connecting 12,000 Metro employees on WeChat. — AS
Weber Shandwick (Interpublic Group)
After several years of sustained investment, Weber Shandwick's digital operation now stands as one of the region's strongest, with 220 executives in its digital studio teams across Asia-Pacific, and a further 25 focusing on data and analytics. Indeed, the firm's data and analytics capabilities have seen a pronounced improvement since the 2017 acquisition of data consultancy Bomoda, which brought specific expertise into Chinese social media platforms and has helped to drive several new product offerings, including proprietary solutions in natural language processing of ecommerce behaviours, customer journey analysis and reputation analysis.
Those tools augment the firm's existing platforms, notably the C3 content to commerce platform and Kloud influencer engagement systems — both of which were developed in China but have since been exported across Weber Shandwick's global network. And the firm will soon launch another offering called Vox, which aims to combine insights across social media, online media and ecommerce to improve strategies from product innovation to customer loyalty, while also readying a new B2B social media tool.
It is not just the products that impress, though. Weber Shandwick's creative capabilities have improved to noticeable effect in recent years, with ECD Ali Grayeli overseeing a team that helps bridge its data insights with a fluent range of digital solutions. This has helped underpin new integrated business from the likes of ExxonMobil, Hotels.com, Turkish Airlines and Shiseido, along with digital content assignments for such companies as Hanwha Group and Samsung Electronics, and lead generation work for many of its technology clients.
The firm's work reflects both the breadth and depth of this offering, including SABRE-nominated campaigns for Air New Zealand, Nescafe Dolce Gusto and Mastercard x ICBC. — AS

Nonprofits Need to Innovate, Collaborate to Survive Inflation
By Charles Evdos Posted on January 8, 2023
Charles Evdos, executive director of RISE Life Services, speaks about the new partnership at a news conference on Dec. 17. (Photo by Briana Bonfiglio)
It will come as no surprise that this year's greatest challenges have been inflation-related, as well as persistent new hiring and staff retention difficulties. Like many in the nonprofit industry, specifically in our sector, RISE Life Services operates on a fixed budget, primarily funded by the State of New York. Amidst the looming recession and widely felt financial strain across the economy, our most significant concern is reductions in our budgetary allotment from the state.
RISE Life Services provides vital services to those with developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, as well as mental health, substance abuse, and supplemental nutrition services. The positions held by our outstanding workforce are equally intensive as they are physically tolling. To fill openings and retain those currently in positions, in fact, RISE Life Services, and others like us, are in desperate need of an increase in budget for salaries and wages. State officials recognized this in 2022 and provided us with a measurable cost of living increase in the budget, but inflation has, essentially, wiped away the gains.
Our workforce is made up of essential employees, largely middle class who are feeling the pinch of inflation the most. Their salary levels are lower than other essential employees in the state. New York State needs to afford these individuals, who provide life-changing and oft life-saving services, a livable $20 per-hour wage.
An agency like ours is a nonprofit, yes, but must be run like a business. Along with my fellow administrators at RISE Life Services, we have taken a strategic approach to plan for the future. We have been critical when needed, proactively changing our practices to adjust to the ever-changing needs of our consumers. When you are not adapting, you are declining, which is why RISE always remains open to change and open to evolution, with the goal of providing the best services to the vulnerable population we serve.
Moving forward, our sector needs more cohesion, when possible. There are many service providers in our region, and given skyrocketing costs, I have been advocating for service sharing. While I understand the need for protections for consumers and our workforce, certain regulations in the state stifle innovation.
Nonprofits do tremendously challenging work, and each of us has our strengths. Collaboration with others in our industry is a key to sustainability. We must recognize each other, what our strengths and weaknesses are, and how each of us can work together to create a symbiotic ecosystem of service providers.
It is also critical that as industries change, the regulatory agencies and lawmakers take note, which is one of the many reasons I have been an advocate for our organization and our sector at-large. This means streamlining funding, like the New York State Pass-Through Funds through one source, be it OPWDD, OMH, or another. I also believe managed care is the wrong direction for New York. Agencies in this field need to be carved out, should New York State move in this direction.
Finally, we have various funding streams, with different methodologies, and it creates a financial burden. Having a singular, more predictable, and consistent funding stream will allow agencies like ours to operate more effectively, the way any other business would. By affording agencies like RISE the ability to operate like a business, it is possible for them to be revenue-producing and more self-sufficient. This may be an out-of-the-box thought, but it is our duty as service providers and nonprofit organizations to continue to advance our industry, for the benefit of the individuals we serve.
Charles Evdos is executive director of Riverhead-based RISE Life Services.

Our Two Rivers	Cerros Sands	2017-02-24T17:30:10+00:00
The New River: A trip to an ancient world
Belize has many rivers and each is important to the growth and development of its region. In the northern region of Belize, snaking through the Orange Walk and Corozal Districts is the New River. The New River is essential to both districts and the entire country in a whole; it has carved its way through the Maya era and the colonial times, and shaped the north for a bountiful future.
The New River was a major trading route for the ancient Maya and enters the bay at Cerros which was their major trading center. Maya Temples are easily seen from the sea. When Belize was still known as the British Honduras the country depended heavily on the logging industry and the New River was a vital piece to the thriving economy. Loggers from the north utilized the New River as a means of transporting logs out to the Caribbean Sea where the British ships would be waiting to carry back the lumber to Europe. Massive logs were set adrift starting from the exotic forests of Orange Walk up to their destination at the Corozal Bay. This industry flourished for several years, but soon there was a new use for the New River, and the north became the land of sugar and molasses. Logs from time to time are still pulled from the river bottom.
Sugar cane was introduced to the north in 1848 by Yucatans who fled from the Caste War. It quickly became a thriving industry and soon a sugar factory was erected – first in Corozal, then moved to Orange Walk. The New River played a vital role in the growth of the sugar industry; it was the only means of transporting the unrefined sugar to large European vessels for export. Today you can still bear witness to the sugar barges as they meander from the Orange Walk Sugar Factory to the Corozal Bay, as they have for many decades.
Now that Belize has plunged into the tourism industry, the New River offers a less industrialized use: as part of the tour route to the ancient Maya city of Lamanai. Lamanai, pronounced Lama'an Ai, means "submerged crocodile" in Yucatec Mayan and was once a good-sized city of the Maya civilization.The 26-mile journey through the waters of the New River from Tower Hill Village near the Toll Bridge in the Orange Walk District leads to the one-time epicenter for Maya traders. The trip on the New River offers scenic views ideal for bird watchers, and is an exciting excursion all by itself. A variety of birds can be seen in their natural state, from the Boat-billed Herons, Egrets to the Jacana or Jesus Christ Bird (given this name as it seemingly walks on water), even Toucans to name a few. If you think that birds are the only critters you are going to see, then you are mistaken. Tucked away in the banks of the New River is a little island where the Spider Monkeys are not shy at all, and at the ruin site you will most likely see (and hear) the Howler Monkeys. Not to mention Morelets crocodiles you are bound to spot along the way; they are a true depiction of Lamanai living up to its Maya name!
Just as interesting is the botany along the river. Navigating through the river will bring you in contact with white delicate water lilies that carpet the water bank for miles. Similarly, all sorts of colorful orchids dangle from the trees bringing the greenery to life. It's not uncommon to see flowering plants along the bank with strange fruits, often harboring dozens of birds. Part of the journey through the New River brings visitors through dozens of channels so narrow that trees tangle above as if it's a tunnel. These tunnel-like channels give you the opportunity to enjoy snake like cactus curled around the branches and stretching to the water surface.

Сергей Анатольевич Смирнов (род. 10 декабря 1958 года в Москве) — советский и российский писатель-фантаст, автор исторических и детективных произведений, редактор и составитель сборников фантастических произведений. Член Союза писателей России.

Биография
Сергей Смирнов родился в Москве. Ещё со школьных лет он увлёкся написанием фантастических произведений. После окончания средней школы Смирнов учился на медико-биологическом факультете II Московского медицинского института (окончил в 1982 году), после чего работал научным сотрудником Института медико-биологических проблем Министерства здравоохранения СССР. Кандидат медицинских наук.

С 1990 года, после выхода в свет первых сборников, Сергей Смирнов стал профессиональным литератором. С 1990 года он работал редактором-составителем в ряде московских издательств, является составителем ряда альманахов и сборников фантастических произведений, в частности первого сборника «Гея» в 1988 году, сборников «Тёмная охота» и «Время оборотня» в 1990 году, несколько спецвыпусков журнала «Искатель». С 2008 года Сергей Смирнов работал сценаристом на телевидении. Его сценарий полнометражного фильма «Твердь» признан лучшим и получил «Золотой диплом» на II Славянском форуме искусств «Золотой Витязь».

Литературное творчество
Ещё со школьных лет Сергей Смирнов начал публиковать свои фантастические произведения, первое из которых «Цветок в дорожной сумке» опубликован в журнале «Техника — молодёжи» в 1976 году. Вместе с писателем Михаилом Пуховым, который был заведующим отделом фантастики в журнале «Техника — молодёжи», Смирнов организовал при журнале клуб поклонников фантастики для учащихся старших классов и студентов. В 1987 году Сергей Смирнов опубликовал свою первую повесть «Гнилой Хутор». В том же году вышел первый сборник произведений писателя «Память до востребования». В 1989 году писатель опубликовал повесть «Без симптомов», которая дала название следующему сборнику произведений автора, вышедшему в 1990 году. В 1996 году писатель опубликовал свой первый роман «Империя здоровья», написанный в стиле фантастического триллера и детектива. В следующем году вышел в свет фантастический роман Смирнова «Канарский грипп», а также первый исторический роман писателя «Семь свитков из Рас-Альхага, или Энциклопедия заговоров», который вошёл в цикл исторических произведений о тамплиерах. В 1996—1997 годах Сергей Смирнов также опубликовал цикл детективных рассказов «Рукопись, найденная в tmp-файле» о детективе-конвергенте, который мог раскрыть преступление с помощью сопоставления внешне не связанных между собой явлений. В 2010 году писатель опубликовал фантастический роман в стиле альтернативной истории «Дао Дзе Дун». После 2010 года большинство новых произведений Сергея Смирнова вышли в свет в виде интернет-публикации, поскольку, по мнению автора, таким образом значительно увеличивается читательская аудитория книг. В 2018 году писатель также опубликовал серию сказок для детей.
