Q: How to Force New Google Spreadsheets to refresh and recalculate? There were some codes written for this purpose but with the new add-ons they are no longer applicable.

A: File -> Spreadsheet Settings -> (Tab) Calculation -> Recalculation (3 Options)

*

*On change

*On change and every minute

*On change and every hour
This affects how often NOW, TODAY, RAND, and RANDBETWEEN are updated.
but..
.. it updates only if the functions' arguments (their ranges, cells) are affected by that.

from my example
I use google spreadsheet to find out the age of a person. I have his birth date in the format (dd.mm.yyyy) -> it's the used format here in Switzerland.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISTEXT(K4:K), IF(TODAY() - DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(REGEXREPLACE(K4:K, "[.]", "/")), DAY(REGEXREPLACE(K4:K, "[.]", "/"))) > 0, YEAR(TODAY()) - YEAR(REGEXREPLACE(K4:K, "[.]", "/")) + 1, YEAR(TODAY()) - YEAR(REGEXREPLACE(K4:K, "[.]", "/"))), IF(LEN(K4:K) > 0, IF(TODAY() - DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(K4:K), DAY(K4:K)) > 0, YEAR(TODAY()) - YEAR(K4:K) + 1, YEAR(TODAY()) - YEAR(K4:K)), "")))

I'm using TODAY() and I did the recalculation settings described above. -> but no automatically refresh. :-(
It updates only if I change some value inside the ranges where the function is looking for.
So I wrote a Google Script (Tools -> Script Editor..) for that purpose.
function onOpen() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheetMaster = ss.getSheetByName("Master");
  var sortRange = sheetMaster.getRange(firstRow, firstColumn, lastRow, lastColumn);

  sortRange.getCell(1, 2).setValue(sortRange.getCell(1, 2).getValue());
}

You need to set numbers for firstRow, firstColumn, lastRow, lastColumn
The Script gets active when the spreadsheets open, writes the content of one cell into the same cell again. That's enough to trigger the TODAY() function.
Look for more information on that link from Edward Moffett: Force google sheet formula to recalculate.

A: None of the existing answers worked for me, but this approach did.
The problem
I was seeing lots of cells say #REF!. These are cells in a sheet that I copied from another Google Sheet doc using "Copy to > Existing Worksheet". If I press Enter in any cell, it recalculates correctly, But I don't want to do that for millions of cells.
My answer
I ran this recalcSheet() script. It takes almost 0.5 seconds per cell, which is very slow but is faster than manually fixing each cell.
function recalcSheet(){
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
  var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("put_your_sheet_name_here");  // https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet#getsheetbynamename
  // var range = sheet.getSelection().getActiveRange();
  // var range = sheet.getRange('A6:D6');
  var range = sheet.getDataRange();
  recalcRange(range, spreadsheet);
}

function recalcRange(range, spreadsheet){
  // following structure of https://stackoverflow.com/a/52123839/470749
  Logger.log('Range: ' + range.getA1Notation());
  var numRows = range.getNumRows();
  var numCols = range.getNumColumns();
  var startRow = range.getRow();
  var startCol = range.getColumn();
  Logger.log('row: ' + startRow);
  Logger.log('col: ' + startCol);
  Logger.log('numRows: ' + numRows);
  Logger.log('numCols: ' + numCols);

  for (var r = 1; r <= numRows; r+=1) {
    for (var c = 1; c <= numCols; c+=1) {
      var originalFormula = range.getCell(r, c).getFormula(); // https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/range#getFormula()
      Logger.log(`r,c ${r}, ${c}; originalFormula: ${originalFormula}`);
      if(originalFormula){
        range.getCell(r, c).setFormula('');
        //SpreadsheetApp.flush(); // https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/35970/27487
        range.getCell(r, c).setFormula(originalFormula);
      }
    }
  }
  spreadsheet.toast('Each cell in the range has been recalculated.', "Finished!"); // https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/spreadsheet#toast(String)
}

A: I believe that the accepted answer has some major issues (as I mentioned in my comments), so I put together a better approach. This approach works for me regardless of whether the formulas contain any of the NOW(), TODAY(), RAND(), or RANDBETWEEN() functions or not. In fact, it works with custom functions as well.
One thing to note is that this approach uses the setFormulas() function, which requires confirmation by the user. Therefore, instead of updating all the values only at the moment when the spreadsheet is open, the code below will create a new menu titled "Refresh" with a button "Refresh Data."
Anytime you press this button, the desired data range will be refreshed by re-pasting the original FORMULAS (not just values).**
Simply add this code to Tools -> Script Editor in your spreadsheet:
function onOpen() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var menuEntries = [];
  menuEntries.push({name: "Refresh Data", functionName: "refreshData"});

  ss.addMenu("Refresh", menuEntries);
}

function refreshData() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
  var myRange = sheet.getRange(1, 1, sheet.getLastRow(), sheet.getLastColumn());

  myRange.setFormulas(myRange.getFormulas());
}

Note that if you desire to refresh only a part of the spreasheet, change the values inside the getRange() function, as described in the relevant documentation.

A: What worked for me is inserting a column before the first column and deleting it immediately.
Basically, do a change that will affect all the cells in the worksheet that will trigger recalculation.

A: When the problem is in the recalculation of an IF condition, I add AND(ISDATE(NOW());condition) so that the cell is forced to recalculate according to
what is set in the Calculation tab in Spreadsheet Settings as explained before.
This works because NOW is one of the functions that is affected by the Calculation setting and ISDATE(NOW()) always returns TRUE.
For example, in one of my sheets I had the following condition which I use to check whether a sheet with name stored in C1 is already created:
=IF(ISREF(INDIRECT(C$1&"!A1")); TRUE; FALSE)

In this case C1="February", so I expected the condition to become TRUE when a sheet with this name was created, which didn't happen. To force it to update, I changed the Calculation setting and used:
=IF(AND( ISDATE(NOW()) ; ISREF(INDIRECT(C$1&"!A1")) ); TRUE; FALSE)

A: Insert "checkbox". Every time you check or uncheck the box the sheet recalculates.  If you put the text size for the checkbox at 2, the color at almost black and the cell shade to black, it becomes a button that recalculates.

A: Quick, but manual

Updating NOW(), TODAY(), RAND(), or RANDBETWEEN() formulas
Press Backspace ← or Del on any empty cell to immediately trigger a recalculation of formulas depending on NOW(), TODAY(), RAND(), or RANDBETWEEN() (in all Sheets of the whole Spreadsheet, as usual).
(If no empty cell is at hand, you can delete a filled cell instead and then undo that with Ctrl+z.)

INDIRECT() formulas are unfortunately not updated like this by default.
Updating INDIRECT() formulas
You can update a (range of) cells of INDIRECT() formulas by pasting the range on itself:

*

*Select cell/ range

*Ctrl+C

*Ctrl+V
You can use Ctrl+A to select the whole current Sheet in step 1.. But for large Sheets then the other 2 operations can take several seconds each.
A trick to know when the process of copying a large range has finished:
Copy some single cell before copying your range: The single cell losing its dotted border will be your notification of the large copy finishing.

A: Old question ... nonetheless, just add a checkbox somewhere in the sheet. Checking or unchecking it will refresh the cell formulae.

A: I have a workaround that worked perfectly for me, I have a large Sheet with many "IMPORTRANGE" and many links to other sheets, so it happened that everytime someone updated the sheet, it wasn't showing anywhere else so I had to go tab by tab, selecting the whole thing, deleting and returning in order to update it but I just went to put the formula "=IF(TODAY()=TODAY()," before all my formulas (it was a pain the neck) and it finally worked, everything is updated in real time.
This took me some time but in the end I paid off.

A: Place your cursor on blank cell, press F4

A: nothing worked, but I found a solution for myself - add an empty line in the working range of the formula (via the right mouse button), and then immediately cancel the action (Ctrl + Z). Profit! all formulas will be updated.

A: This works:
function refreshCell() {
//refresh formula in cell A1

var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getActiveSheet()
var r_Cell_1 = sheet.getRange(1,1,1,1).getFormula()

sheet.getRange(1,1,1,1).setValue("xx")
sheet.getRange(2,1,1,1).setValue(r_Cell_1)

var r_Cell_2 = sheet.getRange(2,1,1,1).getFormula()
sheet.getRange(1,1,1,1).setValue(r_Cell_2)
sheet.getRange(2,1,1,1).clearContent()
}

A: I know that you are looking for an auto-refresh; perhaps some coming in here may be happy with a quick fix for a manual button (like the checkbox proposed above).  I actually just stumbled upon a similar solution to the checkbox: select the cells you want to refresh, and then press CTRL and the "+" key.  Seems to work in Office 365 v16; hope it works for others in need.

A: I found a solution, Thanks to the help of Andrea Bollini.
What was happening is that when I changed
this:
choices.plugin.dc.contributor.author = RPAuthority
choices.presentation.dc.contributor.author= lookup
authority.controlled.dc.contributor.author = true

to this:
choices.plugin.dc.contributor.myorganizationauthor = RPAuthority
choices.presentation.dc.contributor.myorganizationauthor= lookup
authority.controlled.dc.contributor.myorganizationauthor = true

I also removed the required ChoiceAuthority plugin for dc.contributor.author. To fix it I needed to add this extra piece of code.
choices.plugin.dc.contributor.author = AuthorAuthority
choices.presentation.dc.contributor.author= lookup
authority.controlled.dc.contributor.author = true

And under "plugin.na:med.org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthority = \", I needed to register my new ChoiceAuthority "AuthorAuthority"
It should look like this:

New battery technology a boon for cordless tools
Don your Tim Allen "tool guy" persona and imagine a cordless tool that lasts up to twice as long between charges and has the power of corded tools. How about a cordless tool that performs like a corded and has consistent, fade-free power throughout the discharge cycle, ensuring the last hole or cut is as powerful as the first?
That would be worthy of a primal whoo-oo-oo.
A power tool manufacturer has made that a reality.
After nearly a decade of research and development, Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation recently unveiled a breakthrough technology that allowed it to introduce 28-volt versions of many of its products. The V28 system is based on a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery developed by Milwaukee. Gary Meyer, the company's manager of research and development, has been with the nine-year project since its inception and believes this approach to battery technology will cut the cord on many more tools in the future.
"About the only thing the new lithium-ion technology has in common with the old nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) technology is that they are used to power cordless tools," he says.
The Li-ion technology uses a special molecule structure that allows current to flow three-dimensionally instead of through two-dimensional layers in the cell. The results are large increases in power and run time and the ability to run power-hungry tools, such as a hammer-drill, reciprocating saw, circular saw, impact wrench and band saw. These tools can now run at faster speeds, with more power and for a longer time between charges.
"This technology can be adapted to many applications that were once untouchable by cordless tool power," says Meyer.
During performance tests of cordless tools powered by the V28 Li-ion cell and standard 18-volt NiCd and NiMH cells, the benefits were clear.
Weight: While the new system provides heavy-duty power, "heavy" isn't a major tool concern. The weight of a 3.0 amp-hour, 28-volt Li-ion battery is slightly less than a conventional 18-volt NiCd battery pack.
Run time: Take your average run time found with NiCd-powered tools and just about double it to see the Li-ion difference. In many applications, one battery charge per day is all that's required.
Fade-free power: Instead of the gradual but noticeable power decline you expect as a NiCd or NiMH battery pack discharges, the lithium-ion cells maintain consistent power. Power doesn't drop off drastically until the last hole or cut.
Battery fuel gauge: V28 offers a neat feature here. With its on-board fuel gauge, you don't have to guess how much power is left in the battery. Before you climb a ladder to the top of a machine or get down into a tight space, you can check to be sure you'll have the battery power to finish the job.
Corded tool power: The higher 3.0 amp-hour output and 28 volts of muscle mean you can use V28-powered tools that in the past were only available as corded. For example, the newly formatted hammer-drill puts out 600 inch-pounds of torque, and the circular saw cuts at 4,200 rpm, which is much closer to corded saw speeds than the 3,200 rpm found on NiCd models.
Charging: NiCd cells are finicky when hot, and, as a result, the NiCd charger waits for them to cool down. Once charged, they should cool before going back to work. This can add up to an extra hour for charging. The V28 charger, however, is a true one-hour charger. The battery pack begins to charge as soon as it is on the charger and, in an hour, is ready to go to work again.
The 28-volt Li-ion battery pack runs more efficiently than a traditional 18-volt pack, which helps prevent heat buildup during tool use. Often, this means the battery can begin charging immediately. Plus, the cells don't heat up during charging and are ready to go right after the full charge light comes on.
Use life: Testing proved that the V28 battery packs can do up to twice the amount of work per charge as an 18-volt, 2.4 amp-hour NiCd battery pack. And, they can be charged an equal or greater number of times as a NiCd pack. Milwaukee estimates its battery will provide up to 2.5 times the amount of work over the life of the battery when compared with conventional NiCd.
Environmental plus: The composition of the lithium-ion battery contains no cadmium, making it more eco-friendly than other high-powered, rechargeable batteries currently used in power tools and, therefore, does not have to be recycled in many states.
Cold weather performance: Cordless tool users in cold climates know that NiCd and NiMH packs hate a chill and lose a substantial percentage of their charge in sub-freezing temperatures. The Performance Optimizing Circuit on the V28 monitors battery temperature, output and tool demand and makes adjustments so you can get full capacity even in very cold temperatures.

North Korea wants nuclear talks but does Trump know what he wants to say?
The policy of pressure aimed to bring Kim Jong-un to the negotiating table but, lacking key personnel, the US seems unsure how to respond
Julian Borger in Washington
Wed 7 Mar 2018 17.47 EST
The Trump administration is considering how to respond to the North Korean offer of talks on its nuclear weapons programme at a time when its capacity to engage with Pyongyang has been hamstrung by the departure of its top Korea experts, according to former officials and analysts.
North Korea open to relinquishing nuclear weapons, says Seoul
The White House has said its policy of "maximum pressure and engagement" was designed to use sanctions to push the regime of Kim Jong-un to the negotiating table to talk about the future of his nuclear weapons programme. But now that the North Korean leader has signalled a willingness to do that, it is unclear whether the administration has a plan for how to respond.
Former officials say that the administration has spent a lot of time preparing sanctions and contingency planning for military action, but little or no time planning a negotiating strategy for use if Pyongyang entered serious talks.
The last remaining US diplomat with experience of talking to the North Koreans, Joseph Yun, left his post on Friday, and the US currently has no ambassador in Seoul, since the White House withdrew the nomination of another experienced diplomat, Victor Cha. No replacement nominees have been announced.
Yun and Cha were advocates of engagement with North Korea and were viewed with suspicion by the White House, where senior officials have argued for a military solution to the challenge posed by Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programme.
Cha's nomination was withdrawn because he criticised a plan to carry out a "bloody nose" punitive strike against North Korean weapons sites. Stephen Miller, a hardline Trump adviser who has previously been associated with domestic policy, is reported to have ordered the withdrawal of Cha's nomination.
A South Korean delegation returned from a visit to Pyongyang on Tuesday saying that the North Korean regime was ready to discuss the dismantling of its nuclear weapons programmes with the US, in return for guarantees of its security. Pyongyang is said to have offered to suspend nuclear and missile tests while talks were under way.
These are precisely the conditions that the Trump administration had demanded before starting talks with the North Koreans – but its response so far has been non-committal.
"We're going to see. They seem to be acting positively but we're going to see," Trump said on Tuesday. "Hopefully it will go the proper way," Trump said. "The proper way is the way that everybody knows and everybody wants. But we are prepared to go either way."
Jenny Town, the assistant director of the US-Korea Institute at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, said the ball was now in Trump's court.
"This administration says the policy of maximum pressure and engagement is to bring North Korea back to the table to talk about denuclearisation," Town said. "Coming from Kim Jong-un himself, a willingness about denuclearisation is exactly what they have been looking for so if they don't seize this opportunity, I think it's going to call into a question a lot of what this policy is really about. I think you are going to see a drop-off in international support for pressure for pressure's sake."
HR McMaster, the national security adviser, is a hardliner on North Korea. Photograph: Xinhua/Barcroft Images
Trump's national security adviser, HR McMaster, has publicly argued that a nuclear-armed North Korea cannot be deterred and raised the prospect of a US preventive strike.
McMaster's own position in the White House is in question and he is reported to be under consideration for a four-star general's job in the military. But one of the leading contenders for the national security adviser's job – John Bolton, who met Trump at the White House on Tuesday – is even more hawkish towards North Korea.
"The main problem is that we don't know what the administration's policy is," said Philip Yun, a former state department official now at the Ploughshares Fund arms control advocacy group, who was involved in negotiations with the North Koreans during the Clinton administration. "And if the North Koreans were interested in talks about talks, do they have the people to execute that."
There are still respected Korean experts at the national security council and the CIA, but the loss of Yun and Cha is part of a much broader exodus of talent from the state department where the majority of top jobs remain unfilled 14 months after Trump took office.
Any negotiations with Pyongyang would need close coordination with the South Korean government, but that is complicated, not just by the failure to nominate an ambassador to Seoul but also other Trump policies.
Talks began on Wednesday on cost-sharing for the US military presence on the Korean peninsula. The discussions are likely to be contentious in the wake of the US president's claims that Seoul is not paying enough. And Trump's threat of steel tariffs would have a damaging economic effect on South Korea, the third biggest supplier of steel to the US.

When Dr. Sharon Domb, family physician and associate professor at the University of Toronto, started using electronic medical records (EMRs) in 2008, she was considered an early adopter. But the use of healthcare technology has increased dramatically since then, and today, she's part of the 85% of primary care physicians in Canada who use an EMR.
In her practice, Dr. Domb uses CognisantMD's Ocean Tablets that integrate with EMR solutions, which allow patients to complete questionnaires in advance of their appointments and enable Dr. Domb to obtain email consent from her patients. She also stores information and guidelines on her personal devices using apps such as Evernote and Microsoft OneNote.
This holistic adoption of healthcare technology is what Dr. Domb expects to see more of in the future. As a teaching physician, she has a unique perspective on how students today are learning about technology as an integral part of their medical education. Healthcare technology will only continue to become a bigger part of physicians' lives, and current and future generations can benefit from having a better grasp on EMRs and other advanced solutions.
Initial EMR adoption is only part of the story.
Many Canadian physicians originally made the switch to EMRs because of government initiatives: "In Ontario, a number of years ago, there were financial incentives to get an EMR," recalls Dr. Domb. "[They] helped to get all but a small number of laggards onto the EMR."
However, increasing EMR adoption among physicians is only part of the equation. Though the majority of primary care physicians and specialists now have or use an EMR in their practice, not everyone is using them to their fullest potential.
Dr. Domb likens using EMRs and other digital health tools to using a smartphone — the more time you spend learning about the tool, the more powerful it becomes. "When you get a new phone, maybe you get the basics on the first day. But then over the next weeks and months, you learn more details, and you keep learning more tricks about how to use it well," she explains.
The breadth of all the functionalities and benefits of implementing new technologies are not always immediately obvious. For example, it's a common concern that may drop as physicians and staff learn how to use new technology. Like with any new tool, there is a learning curve, but according to Dr. Domb, the benefits of investing time to learn and master these technologies can lead to more efficiencies over time. "By keeping my charts up to date, I can very easily get a clear picture of what's going on with my patients," she says. "If anything, I feel like I'm more on top of things, so I think it really benefits patients from that end."
Changing patient expectations are a concern as well. As new technologies are introduced, they may come to rely on faster responses and instant answers from healthcare professionals. "There's an expectation of an immediate response," says Dr. Domb. "People expect that you're going to reply to their emails right away."
The reality is that it takes time, money, and effort to fully integrate a new technology at a clinic or practice — and EMRs are only one piece of the puzzle. While they provide a foundation, other technologies on top of EMRs are also needed.
Getting organized: The outcomes are worth the work.
Those physicians who do take the time to learn and effectively use technology in their practice, like Dr. Domb, find that it's well worth the effort. The biggest positives Dr. Domb has experienced include well-organized charts, easy-to-find information, and accurate medication lists that she can quickly share with other physicians — which helps to improve care continuity for patients.
Dr. Domb also enjoys being able to organize other information — not just patient health records — using technology. For example, she keeps notes on her iPad about new medical guidelines, and she keeps all information in the cloud so it's easily accessible. "If I'm on call and need information, I can get it wherever I am and on whichever device I have," she says. In addition, EMRs like PS Suite, Med Access, and Medesync have integrated functionalities that help to manage revenue and reduce lost billings.
EMRs and other tech tools make it easier to track every procedure and test. According to the 2018 Canadian Physician Survey, physicians use their EMRs to take patient notes, generate prescriptions, receive electronic warnings about interactions, and send referrals to other physicians. These tools also simplify provider-to-provider communication, appointment scheduling, and the transmission of referrals.
Technology in healthcare: Work smarter not harder.
Despite an increase in the adoption of technology, there is still work to do in learning how to effectively use EMRs and their add-on solutions in medical practices. As someone who has been using EMRs since 2008, Dr. Domb has seen many of the strengths — and challenges — of using healthtech.
In order to enhance and improve their use of EMRs and add-ons, Dr. Domb recommends that physicians work smarter, not harder by incorporating tools that are best suited to their individual practice. She also recommends that healthcare professionals invest time up front to learn the ins and outs of the unique stack of medical technology they choose to use.
"I certainly wouldn't go back to using paper," says Dr. Domb. "There's a lot of ability within a given EMR, so really, the question is how well people use them. You can program it so that it actually works for you and helps you."

I miss Hee-Haw.
Your dates for Wynonie Harris are backwards.
msjadeli Monday, 17 June 2019 at 12:04 am · ·
Hee Haw was only on for 2 seasons and the rest of the time on the air was re-running those 2 seasons??? Wow. Ice Cube's real first name is O'Shea? Interesting. Yoko sounds like a nut on that video clip. If she was more articulate, it might have made sense what she was trying to say.
hanspostcard Monday, 17 June 2019 at 2:39 am · ·
No no- they were making new ones but it was off regular network- Hee Haw.
Oh ok, the fact that I thought it was possible says a lot about the show. lol


Are they or aren't they? The definition of healthy is quite possibly society's most influential phenomenon. What IS healthy, exactly? As of late, it seems 'Healthy' has evolved from having a clear, cut definition to becoming the most effective chameleon in the food industry. In 2013, BuzzBack conducted a study on consumers' perception of 'Healthy' and found that it was associated with words one would expect to see – active, exercise, balance, and happiness; with unique callouts to predictable descriptors such as 'organic,' 'wholesome,' and 'natural' within various markets. Still, it's no surprise that the concept of 'Healthy' is most often associated with food – top healthy snacks across the globe included fruit, yogurt, nuts, and dried fruit. But healthy snacks seem to be a catch-22 in itself. Eat more fruit – too much sugar. Cut out carbs – you're left with no energy source. Low fat or Gluten-free? You end up consuming more sugar used to make up for lack of taste. Eat more nuts…but watch out for high fat content! This seems kind of nutty… Last month, KIND bar fanatics were hit with some conflicting news – their snacks aren't healthy. At least, they're not FDA-approved healthy. The Food and Drug Administration had contacted the manufacturer, notifying them that their popular fruit and nut snack is not, in fact, in line with their healthy regulations at all. According to the FDA, a "healthy snack food" cannot exceed 3g of Total Fat or 1g of saturated fat per serving. The bars in question – four flavors in particular – contain up to 5 g of saturated fat. When looking at a nutrition label, seeing 5g of saturated fat right off the bat might generate a red flag for the average consumer. It's here where things get a little subjective. Sure, there's a high amount of fat in this food product – but should we be paying more attention to the amount of fat, or where it's coming from? The first ingredient(s) in any of KIND's products are nuts. Moderation Personally, I believe the only healthy cliché that has proven resolute over the years and within every food fad is 'moderation is key.' We forget that overdoing anything – whether it's eating ('healthy' food is still food), sleeping, or even exercising – is unhealthy. Sure, snacking on dried fruit is better than grabbing a bag of chips – but not if you're swallowing buckets of the stuff. And sure, chomping through a bowl of nuts is a healthier option than going through a bag of candy, but you do need to look out for high fat. It's all about balance, right? Healthy means balance - a balance throughout all aspects of life, including what you're eating.
The high level of nonadherence across all therapeutic categories is a hot topic, and becoming hotter. It's a question of enormous cost on one hand (to patients, insurers, CMS, hospitals, families…) and a serious question of lost revenue for the pharmaceutical companies. The team at BuzzBack has been working on nonadherence related issues for a number of years, and we utilize our tools to interpret how patients with a given disease understand and feel about what, exactly, they are going through. In that light, a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine by Lisa Rosenbaum, M.D. caught my attention. Dr. Rosenbaum, who writes on medicine for many publications and is a cardiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, explores how patient feelings impact adherence to medication for cardiovascular disease. The author cites a study that suggests that "one way to address medication avoidance is to better communicate the benefits of a drug. Although such communication is essential, so is the understanding of what beliefs contribute to avoidance of cardiovascular medications in the first place." What's exciting about that statement is that an increasing number of pharma companies are working with firms like us to dig deep into the "why" behind patient nonadherence. In fact, BuzzBack is currently working on a study (which we will present at the Pharmaceutical Market Research Conference on February 5) in which patients express feelings about their relationships with their doctor, their disease, and their therapeutic regimen, using visual imagery as well as direct questions. We are looking into how strongly positive and negative emotions can influence adherence, and whether it is related to usage of alternative medicine. In her article, Dr. Rosenbaum recalls conversations with patients about why they abandon their regimens. She observes how some patients cite an interest in "natural" solutions. Patients see their prescriptions as "chemicals" to avoid – the drugs intrude upon the natural state of things. Other negative feelings and associations that reduce adherence include suspicion, shame, failure, aversion, fear of risk, and loss of control. Patients also say that today's advanced medicine and its apparent speed of effect makes adherence seem less important (paraphrased as "I feel so much better leaving the hospital than when I came in – I don't need to take the drugs anymore"). Related to that idea, patients who begin to feel better once on their own often become nonadherent. This is especially true for asymptomatic patients who lack concrete evidence of their improvement. The article advocates what we often find when studying adherence. Pharma companies need to better articulate the purpose of their drugs to patients. They need to explain how both the obvious and unseen changes are both important. The article confirms what we have worked on for many years: visual metaphors and the visual delivery of this information can improve compliance. Dr. Rosenbaum writes about how patients on clopidogrel frequently explain why they take their medicine and what the benefit is to them. These patients use visual language (from Plavix ads) to paint the "here's why I do it" picture: "It keeps my blood flowing. "It keeps the pipes from clogging." The distinct visual lexicon creates a compelling mental image that seems to encourage adherence. Other research over the past 30 years has confirmed that visual imagery helps patients understand their disease better and adhere better to treatment. Rosenbaum proposes creating visual communications that make an emotional and personal patient-to-prescription connection that literally illustrates the purpose and benefits of the treatment. This begs the question: what visual metaphors can help companies outside Dr. Rosenbaum's cardiology realm? How can visual and latent emotional insights improve diabetes adherence? Adherence with asthma therapy? What pictures should be included in communications that will ultimately improve and even save patient lives? Dr. Rosenbaum's conclusion echoes the spirit of BuzzBack's mission when working with healthcare companies: "Although we tend to view nonadherence as patients' failure to know what's good for them, learning about people's feelings about medications has made me recognize that my ideas of good and bad were defined solely in my terms. What I've learned is that if I felt what they feel, I'd understand why they don't." When innovating insights for pharma, we are driven to get at the why so we can influence better outcomes – often uncovering the visual language that will resonate profoundly with patients. As an insights professional, I often find those projects the most meaningful and memorable because they do the most good.

BuzzFeed measure the success of their content by what people click on. This real-time behaviour is driven by a raw emotional connection to the headline of the content, so how people respond is individual and unpredictable. With their simple one-dimensional measure, BuzzFeed establish a direct link between appeal and performance: the greater the appeal of the clickbait, the better the performance of the content. There is learning to be had here with how researchers approach the evaluation of more emotional claims. Current methods of evaluation may be more of a handicap than a help, as they force respondents to wear a 'rational hat' in an emotional context. For example, when we are exploring the Beauty category, we often focus on rational, factual things – claims about shiny hair or reduced split ends – whereas if we test the emotional and esoteric ("It makes me feel good" or "makes me smile"), these claims fall flat. But is this actually the fault of the claims, or the fault of the standard methods by which they are measured? Is there something to be learned from Buzzfeed's emotional clickbait? Just like clickbait, the questions we ask must allow for an emotional response in themselves, and allow for intrigue without necessarily providing complete understanding. So we need to give emotional claims a level playing field and an opportunity to succeed. By asking better questions, we will free our responders to better understand the most compelling emotional ideas for a brand's positioning and messaging.

Areum gives Philip another chance and tells him about Tiffany, but life throws her another curveball. She gets demoted to an intern in the warehouse.
We begin with the same scene from the last episode:
Areum: If I ask you to start over, can you do it? Can you promise that you won't make such a mistake again?
Philip: Areum, have you opened your heart? I'm confident. Why would I come so far.
Areum pauses before saying, "Truthfully, the child…"
Philip interrupts, "I saw the nomination interview…you must have been so hurt because of your father…the child was the child that I saw last time…Tiffany?"
Areum remembers watching Philip get married and stands up to leave. Philip grabs her and Areum stops. She remembers her father's public confession and tells Philip, "Tiffany is my daughter. She isn't my father's daughter but our daughter."
Philip's arms drop. Areum continues that she only knew after they broke up. She adds wanted to raise Tiffany alone, but with the situation, she can no longer stay silent.
Philip asks how this could have happened.
Areum apologizes for keeping it a secret, but it was the best option at the time. Philip tells her that he understands what she's trying to say, but since this is so shocking, he asks her to continue this conversation later. Areum leaves his apartment but leans against the elevator wall.
After Areum leaves, Philip paces and wonders how Tiffany could be his daughter. He had suspicions, but he can't believe that it's really his daughter.
Areum arrives at home to see Jiwoo playing with Tiffany. Areum tells Jiwoo that she told Philip about Tiffany. Jiwoo supports Areum's decision. Jiwoo explains that her father's situation is pressing, but it's also good for Tiffany that her father knows about her decision.
The next day, there is a board of director's meeting. Mr. Chun denies knowing about Areum's parent. He states that only thought about Areum's talent. He adds that if he knew, he would not have hired Areum.
The other directors wonder if they should give up on the K Fashion project. Mr. Chun tells the group that they still have a chance. They can get funding from an investor – Philip Choi. Yoon Yi and Seung Woon exchange looks at the mention of Philip… Mr. Chun ends the meeting with the promised that he will secure the financing.
Afterwards, Seung Woon drops by Mr. Chun's office. Seung Woon asks if they should consider looking into other investors and Mr. Chun replies that the scale of other investors is different. They need to secure the financing from Philip. Mr. Chun excuses Seung Woon.
Meanwhile, Soo Ah meets with the male Team Leader in a cafe. She mentions their company's program that sends talented employees to Paris. Team Leader Louis tells her that he knows about it, but he has never held out hope since it's so competitive. Soo Ah tells him that she wants to send him to Paris, but she has a favor to ask.
At Zishen, Seung Woon calls Philip to check on the status of his decision to invest. Philip answers that he has been to busy to make a decision and they end it on a polite note.
Soo Ah stops by Seung Woon's office to tell him to fold Areum's K Fashion Project. Seung Woon tells her that she has no right to decide whether or not to close a project. Soo Ah answers that she's just advising him since he might not be able to make the right decision due to being influenced by unnecessary feelings. She also asks if he's going to do anything about Yoon Yi and Seung Woon asks if she still thinks the game is on. Soo Ah replies that she's not talking about a game, she's just sincerely worried about Yoon Yi. Seung Woon snaps that her sincerity disgusts him and tells her to not touch Areum. Soo Ah smirks that he must have gotten very close to Areum before leaving.
Meanwhile, Philip broods about Areum's confession. He calls his secretary to contact his divorce attorney because he has something to ask about the divorce litigation. Then, Philip calls Areum to meet.
Philip goes to see Areum at a cafe. He tells her that he's ready to hear about the baby and asks for the details. Areum tells him that Tiffany is 10 months old. Philip asks if she has been raising Tiffany alone and that was the reason she went to Texas. Areum confirms.
Philip asks how she made this decision without even telling him. Areum tells him that she went to his wedding. She thought about Tiffany and went to see Philip, even if she was afraid that he would tell her to get an abortion…she was ready to beg him to stay. However, Areum notes that he was happily getting married to another girl. She couldn't tell him that she had his baby at that time. Seeing Areum tear up, Philip apologizes.
Areum wipes her tears and tells Philip that she needs to go back into the office. Philip agrees and invites her to bring Tiffany to his place; he tells her that he wants to greet her properly. Areum seems a bit shocked by Philip's response and gets up. She pauses by the window before leaving.
Outside the cafe, Areum gets a call from CEO Chun and stops by his office. CEO Chun tells Areum that they had a board of directors meeting in the morning. He tells her that she needs to leave the K Project. He tells her that the company won't fire her for something like this, but they will need to follow company procedure from now on. She's being demoted to an intern and will be working under the direction of Team Leader Louis.
The Team holds a meeting as Anna talks about how Soo Ah gave the K Fashion Project to Louis. Anna speculates happily but Louis sighs that he doesn't understand why Soo Ah gave him the cross to bear. Anna asks what he means by bearing a cross and Louis snaps that it's nothing.
The team starts to gossip about whether or not the CEO knew about Areum's father when he hired her when Areum interrupts to ask Louis what she should do now as the intern. Louis stiffly tells her to follow him and leads her to the garage. In the garage, he passes her over to a supervisor as the new employee. Before Areum follows the new supervisor, Louis mentions that it will be difficult at first but it will get better. Areum accepts it and agrees and follows the new supervisor. Watching her retreating back, Louis sighs that he feels bad for Areum but then resolves himself to think about Paris.
The new Team Leader tells Areum to check all of the products in the boxes to make sure that the numbers match the purchase orders, organize the uniforms, and quality check the clothes and label all of the clothes. Areum asks when he wants the task done and the new Team Leader tells her by the end of the day. He emphasizes that working in the warehouse is different from working the design room; everyone does this much. Areum accepts his explanation and gets her uniform.
Mrs. Han asks Mr. Han if he wants to eat or go hiking, but he doesn't answer. She asks if he wants to eat anything in particular for dinner since she's going grocery shopping and Mr. Han replies that he doesn't care. Mrs. Han leaves to go to the mart, where she sees Soo Ah. She tries to turn around quickly but Soo Ah sees her first.
Soo Ah comes over to note that Mrs. Han must be so stressed by everything. Then she adds that she's frustrated that Areum had to enter their company so that they were affected by the scandal as well. Mrs. Han calls her name and Soo Ah just leaves.
Afterwards, two grocery shopping women gossip right next to Mrs. Han about Mr. Han. They talk about Mr. Han not being able to control his libido. Mrs. Han tells them not to gossip so carelessly about things that they don't know. The women get defensive and ask why she's getting involved. Mrs. Han screams out her frustration that they shouldn't say such things if they don't know the facts. This triggers one of the women, who grabs Mrs. Han's hair until her friend can pull her away.
Meanwhile, Seungho tries to teach his grandmother the A, B, Cs. It turns out that she doesn't know even A, B, or C. Seungho asks in exasperation if she didn't go to kindergarten. Seungho's grandmother responds that he shouldn't be audacious, she was a child during the Korean War. She was busy trying to survive; she wasn't taken to her lessons by her mother. Seungho turns to the vowels and his grandmother has difficulty pronouncing it. Finally, she tells Seungho not to belittle him and leave to her room.
CEO Chun tells Soo Ah that he had such difficulty with the board of directors and how he promised to secure an investment from Philip. Soo Ah reports back that she told Louis what to do and dangled the carrot of a trip to Paris. CEO Chun muses that she needs to leave soon and Soo Ah reassures him that she made arrangements so Areum won't last long.
Areum continues working late into the night, lifting boxes. She gets a papercut and pauses before telling herself that she's living life easy and continues on.
Seung Woon has a drink with Yoon Yi. Seung Woon confesses that he still finds her uncomfortable because he feels so guilty toward her. Yoon Yi teases him that he should feel guilty for a long long time. She also confesses that she thought she knew what she was getting herself into, but then was hurt by his rejection at their engagement. She also adds that she didn't want to see him ever again, but she couldn't control her heart the way she wanted. She comments that he's probably the same… She also asks how things are going with Areum with the scandal and Seung Woon clinks his glass against hers before saying they should just drink and get up. Yoon Yi tells him that the greatest loves are the ones that survive through obstacles and warns him to do well since he threw her away. Seung Woon jokes that she's being so mature about it that if she becomes any more indifferent, she'd be hostile. Finally, Yoon Yi asks what he likes about Areum and Seung Woon tells her to drop it. Yoon Yi agrees to drop it, noting that asking such things to someone who doesn't like her is pathetic. Seung Woon gets up and tells her that he'll pick up the tab.
Philip meets with his friend and asks if he can handle divorces. His friend tells him that he's an American lawyer, so he wouldn't be able to handle it as well as someone in Korea. Philip confesses that the divorce hasn't been finalized. They have been living apart for a year, but they couldn't agree on the division of the marital estate and are in the midst of an ongoing divorce lawsuit. Philip adds that he found out that Tiffany was his kid. His friend asks how he's taking it… Philip answers that he loves Areum, but he's not sure about the kid…
The friend asks Philip if this isn't good news since he is sure to get Areum this way. Philip replies that he's not sure. He wasn't planning on getting married right away. Also, the fact that he has a kid will be disadvantageous in the current lawsuit even if the kid was from before his wedding. His friend tells him to first confirm that the baby is actually his.
Areum dresses Tiffany warmly to take her to Philip's apartment.
Philip has decorated his apartment but he also calls his secretary to look into the fasted place to get a DNA test done. When Areum arrives, he welcomes both with a smile and Areum watches his reaction to their baby.
We've definitely come a long way. Instead of crying about the new development, Areum accepts her demotion and tries to work through it like a normal person. It's clear that Soo Ah gave the new Team Leader directions to give her difficult tasks and unrealistic deadlines. Hopefully, Areum will develop tenacity through this unfortunate turn of events.
On a side note, Areum's outfit is much better in this episode…but Yoon Yi's dress! OMG, can I say I'd love it? It stole the scene and it's in Pantene's color of the year, Marsala! Someone tell Areum's fashion coordinator that s/he needs to learn from Yoon Yi's…

Ronon Dex is a mystery. His past is a closed book and he likes it that way. But when the Atlantis team triggers a trap that leaves them stranded on a hostile world, only Ronon's past can save them-if it doesn't kill them first.
As the gripping tale unfolds, we return to Ronon's earliest days as a Runner and meet the charismatic leader who transformed him into a hunter of Wraith. But grief and rage can change the best of men and it soon becomes clear that those who Ronon once considered brothers-in-arms are now on the hunt-and that the Atlantis team are their prey.
Unless Ronon can out hunt the hunters, Colonel Sheppard's team will fall victim to the vengeance of the V'rdai.

Search for a Souvenir Booklet
MNopedia volunteer, Janet, wanted to write an article about the Grand Opera House for MNopedia, but couldn't locate many images. She found a wonderful article in the St. Paul Daily Globe describing the grand opening evening, including a detailed description of the souvenir booklet that was given to each of the ladies in attendance. She asked if there was one in MNHS collections, but no one could find one.
Janet, who was in possession of a souvenir booklet, came to the rescue by generously offering to donate it. MNHS Collections & Research Services Program Associate, Lori Williamson, loved the booklet and immediately agreed to take it into collections.
MNopedia volunteers make a habit of going that extra mile, but Janet has taken that a giant step further. She's a shining example of the best of the best MNHS volunteers.

MNHS Intern assisting with preserving and sharing history
Intern Samantha has been working hard in the Collections and Research Services Division! Samantha comes to MNHS through Project SEARCH, a program that helps young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities build job skills and prepare them for integrated, competitive employment in a wide variety of job fields. Throughout the one-year program, participants attend job-skill classes, complete three 150-hour internships, and receive on-the-job assistance from a job coach.
Samantha has made huge progress in the three different projects she's tackling across the division. These jobs will make a big difference in our ability to preserve and provide access to our collections.
Samantha has been rehousing St. Cloud State Reformatory Inmate Case Files preserved in the State Archives collection. By taking the case files out of their old, damaged folders and putting them into new, acid-free folders, the case files will last much longer and be easier for researchers to use. With over 1,000 boxes of case files in the collection, Samantha won't be finishing the project any time soon, but her work (and that of many other volunteers and interns like her) will pay off in the end!
In Digital Collections Services, she's been taking scanned images of WWI Military Service Questionnaires and getting them ready for online access. This project involves some detailed technical work, data entry, and deciphering some pretty challenging handwriting on the historic records. While the job isn't easy, when it's done we'll be able to provide online access to these popular records -- not only will our researchers love being able to access these documents anytime, but it will also help the original paper records last longer by reducing handling.
When she heads down to Level B to work with Collections Management, Samantha gets to help label and improve housing for objects. It can be time-consuming to line drawers with special foam or to place labels on the objects, but it comes with one very big perk: you get to have a up-close and personal look at our great collection of objects, including some of the most recently added items.

Summer 2018 Interns Bring the Heat
Summer 2018 Interns were busy all semester. 15 Interns worked throughout 10 departments across the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS).
Curatorial Assistant intern, Suzie, worked on many incoming 3D acquisitions over the summer. She wrote a blog post on student protest signs that came in after Parkland (donated by former TAG member Andrew Sandfort). The blog will be published soon to the MNHS Collections Blog.
MNopedia intern, Elizabeth, made a significant contribution to MNopedia during her summer internship, writing four articles (one published, three in editorial) and fact checking one more. She joined the MNopedia team for two field trips in June - one to the LeDuc Historic Estate in Hastings and to the Hennepin History Museum and MIA. Elizabeth participated in the EPG Lightning Round Brown Bag and assisted with MNopedia outreach at two "Bands on the Boulevard" concerts in July.
Inclusion and Community Engagement intern, Jae, helped to develop a learning and development toolkit about "Participating in difficult conversations." He led a team of undergraduate researchers who developed the outline that will ultimately become the toolkit. The focus of this project was to instruct MNHS staff on how to have difficult conversations in a productive manner. Jae was integral to the completion of the project.
Thanks to all our Summer 2018 interns who made significant contributions to the work and mission of MNHS!

Minnesota Place Names
MNopedia's "Minnesota Place Names" project volunteers and interns have completed the proofing of the geocoding for about 74% of the 6,114 entries in the Phase I project. Their work includes cross-checking auto-generated coordinates against a variety of maps, both in the Gale Family Library at the Minnesota Historical Society and online. In the case of rail stations and post offices that are no longer around, they take the sleuthing a step further, digging into old railroad maps and other resources to find long-forgotten locations. The work takes a good dose of patience and fortitude! Accuracy is key, as each geocoded location will be included in an interactive map when Place Names is added to MNopedia, hopefully at the end of June 2019.
Many thanks for your dedication, Place Names team!
Musical Contributions Lead to July 4 Event Success
By: Rebekah Bjork | July 6, 2018
The Historic Fort Snelling Fife and Drum Corps is a student-staff musical ensemble dedicated to representing the fort's history through music. The goal of the Fife and Drum Corps is to gain a national reputation by performing throughout Minnesota and participating in fife-and-drum musters and clinics across the country.
Founded in 1971, when the historic site opened, the corps took a hiatus after only a few years. Music duties at the fort were handled by the interpretive staff, but their performance opportunities were limited. The full corps was revived in 2014 using staff musicians and student volunteers. The musical repertoire now spans from the Revolutionary War through World War II, including the years when Fort Snelling was an active post of the United States Army.
The Fife and Drum Corps program at the Historic Fort Snelling at Bdote runs from February through August each year. Through this program, students age 14 and older have the opportunity to volunteer as musicians and perform in concerts and field shows in the fort, from late May through mid-August. The corps also performs in concerts and parades in the Twin Cities area. Students are trained and led by fort staff with fife and drum experience.
Corps members learn period duty calls and military music, depict one of the earliest military musical units in the state, share music history with Historic Fort Snelling visitors, perform at historic sites and in area parades, and serve as musical ambassadors for the Minnesota Historical Society and the State of Minnesota.
On July 4, 2018, the Historic Fort Snelling Fifes and Drums gave 11 musical performances during the Independence Day Celebration at Historic Fort Snelling at Bdote. A few members also gave informal concerts on period instruments during their break time. Many coworkers and visitors praised the volunteer musicians' contributions to the success of this event.
Thanks to all staff and volunteers who helped make the July 4th celebration at Historic Fort Snelling at Bdote memorable!

MNHS Intern has a Bright Future
Luqman was hired as the Somali Community Engagement Special Project Intern in January 2018. Luqman worked on developing worthwhile volunteer experiences, recruited individuals from the Somali community to volunteer for the new Somalis + Minnesota exhibit, and worked with community organizations to develop meaningful relationships. Throughout the course of his internship, Luqman attended numerous college and community events to recruit volunteers. Luqman contributed more than 290 hours in 6 months!
Volunteers & Interns Manager, Jean Nierenhausen, stated "Luqman has fabulous recruitment skills. His goal was to recruit 8-10 volunteers from the Somali community, and he exceeded his goal and helped recruit 12 volunteers from the Somali community who agreed to assist with the opening and events throughout the run of the Somalis + Minnesota exhibit. He has connections with the Somali community and was able to advise us on exhibit content, terminology, pronunciation and culture. He has a bright future ahead of himself. He is interning with Travelers Insurance this summer and will return to MNHS this fall to participate in the Fellows program."
Thanks, Luqman, for all of your hard work and dedication!
2018 MNHS Student Scholarship Winners
This is the sixteenth year of the Minnesota Historical Society's Student Scholarship program. The program recognizes the contributions that high school students make to MNHS by awarding graduating seniors a $1,000 scholarship. Nathan, Antonio, and Jonathan are all graduating high school seniors who have made tremendous contributions to MNHS by sharing their time, energy, and talents.
This year, the application process included a rigorous process as we looked at the student total years and hours of service, an essay, and letters of recommendation from a teacher and their MNHS staff supervisor. A selection committee made up of MNHS staff, volunteers, and interns interviewed these students and awarded Nathan Alemu, Antonio Dominguez, and Jonathan Rosario each a $1,000 scholarship.
Nathan graduated from Tartan High School in June 2018. He became a volunteer at MNHS in October 2016, and has contributed more than 55 hours of service. Nathan has volunteered as a visitor services greeter and a coat check volunteer. He says the biggest thing he has learned while volunteering at MNHS is the necessary skills for his ambitions as a future lawyer and community leader. He learned about the complexities and the diversity of Minnesota communities that he hopes to serve one day, and is able to better understand his own community in order to be an advocate for them. Nathan plans to attend the University of Minnesota in the fall and will be studying Economics and French Studies.
Antonio graduated from Highland Park High School in June 2018. He became involved with MNHS in the summer of 2015 as a part of the Summer History Immersion Program (SHIP), and has contributed more than 235 hours of service. Antonio has also been involved in History Day and as a Kurtzman intern at MNHS. He says the biggest thing he has learned while being involved with MNHS is having the experience of a real working environment. With the help of his mentors, he strengthened his public speaking skills and learned how to best collaborate with others to find the most successful way of completing tasks. Antonio plans to attend St. Paul College in the fall to receive his general education, and then will attend Metropolitan State to receive a degree in Nursing.
Jonathan graduated from Eastview High School in June 2018. He became a high school intern at MNHS in June 2016, and has contributed more than 100 hours of service. Jonathan has also volunteered as a Museum Assistant for the Gridiron Glory exhibit. He says the biggest thing he has learned while being involved with MNHS is keeping busy and staying aware of your goals. He also learned to be a friend to everyone, always have a smile on your face, and be courteous to everyone. He also learned that history is a necessity and you can learn it wherever you go. Jonathan plans to attend the University of St. Thomas in the fall and will be studying Pre-Law and minoring in Psychology.

Self-Motivated High School Student Gains Experience
Naya is a high school senior who recently completed an internship with our Collections Department. Naya's work included researching back issues of the MNHS scholarly journal Minnesota History for references to MNHS Collection items and cross referencing that data with queries in our complex museum cataloging database to create a spreadsheet of linked data. She also worked hands on with the Collection, scanning paper items for use in our collections database and applying metadata to the images. Additionally, Naya has shadowed staff working in our Textile Conservation Lab and and met one-on-one with many staff members across the organization to learn more about the many professions within museum work.
Staff supervisor Sondra Reierson said "Naya has been a joy to work with. I have developed a very high regard for Naya based on her outstanding contributions throughout the term. Throughout her time here Naya has acted professionally, been timely and respectful. She consistently delivers a quality product with speed, accuracy, and thoroughness, managing her time well throughout. Naya learned quickly during her training and has since worked independently but asked pertinent questions as they arose and asked for help as necessary. She is self-motivated and shows great initiative in meeting her goals. In short, Naya has been an ideal intern."
Valuable Volunteer
Pete has been volunteering with the Minnesota Historical Society since March 2018. So far, he has contributed more than 90 hours! Pete has assisted with History Day, Special Events, and primarily serves as a Data Collector for the History Center exit surveys.
Recently, Pete assisted with an event at Historic Fort Snelling. Staff supervisor Caitlin McGowan said "Pete was so wonderful to have on hand. He was proactive and positive all day long, which really helped me as we had to troubleshoot a few scenarios. I could not be more grateful for his presence."
One of the main projects Pete is working on is data collection for the History Center exit surveys. Staff supervisor Sheila Brommel said "In this important project, he stops visitors and interviews them to learn who is visiting the History Center, what motivated them to visit, and what their experience was like. Pete has a natural ability to engage with visitors by asking them to participate in a survey. He is able to get visitors to expand in depth to the questions. He digs deeper to find out specifically what they liked about an exhibit, or what they didn't like about parking, for example. He is able to do this because he genuinely cares about what visitors have to say. He has familiarized himself with the exhibits and other spaces, so he understands what they are referring to and can ask them to elaborate.
"Pete recently expanded his role to also co-facilitate the training of new volunteers to conduct a similar survey at Mill City Museum. This was the first time we formally included a volunteer as a co-facilitator and it worked well. The new volunteers appreciated hearing the tips and suggestions directly from one of their peers.
"Pete and the other survey volunteers are making an invaluable contribution to our evaluation efforts. It's vitally important to hear directly from our visitors. We wouldn't be able to do this work without their help."
Pete said "The number of staff who have valued and treated me so well at MNHS just grows and grows, motivating me to contribute more whenever I can."
Seeing the "Big Picture"
Volunteer Karen is a former assistant principal and retired executive director of the Western Colorado Suicide Prevention Foundation. She came to the Minnesota Historical Society in 2014 to meet people and get involved in her new community.
Throughout her time at MNHS, she has worked on the Special Events team, assisted the Volunteer & Intern Programs with strategic planning, worked as a data collector for the Toys exhibit, served as a member of the Service Enterprise Advisory Committee, conducted evaluation interviews with skills-based volunteers and wrote the summary report, and helps personalize and send new volunteer packets as part of the on-boarding process.
Karen has an extraordinary ability to analyze details and see the "big picture." Her quick wit always adds fun to our days!
Thanks, Karen, for all you do for MNHS!

Softball, baseball clinics set for this month
By Dennis Fujimoto | Friday, December 9, 2016, 12:30 a.m.
Dee Wisneski, associate head coach for the University of Hawaii softball team and a Waimea High School alumna, will be heading the Garden Island Softball Clinic for players aged 7 through 18 years old at the Hanapepe Ball Park.
"We had such a good turnout last year, we wanted to do it again," said Kirk Correa, one of the clinic organizers.
The softball clinic will take place Dec. 17 with registration starting at 8:30 a.m. The clinic will run from 9 a.m. to noon with an event T-shirt and lunch. Cost is $15.
Correa said the Garden Island Baseball Clinic for players aged 9 through 14 years old will be Dec. 26 and 27 at the Lihue Baseball Park next to Kauai War Memorial Convention Hall.
"A lot of parents wanted a clinic that would teach players position play," Correa said. "This year, we will try it out. We have a great staff and some great players from Kauai."
The clinic runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.
Registration is based on whether the participant is registered all two days, or a single day. All-day participants have a choice of the following position play work.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the multiple Sclerosis Society of Hawaii.
Keep records double-double en route to season opener victory for Kauai High
Rolling over the competition


June 24 (Reuters) - Burundi holds presidential elections on Monday.
-- Inflation rose to 7.4 percent year-on-year in April from 6.6 percent a month earlier, driven by housing, water and energy costs, official data showed.
-- Like other east African nations, Burundi suffered from high world fuel and commodity prices in 2008, sending inflation surging to 24.5 percent that year from 8.3 percent in 2007.
-- The International Monetary Fund predicts Burundi's economy will grow by 3.9 percent in 2010, up from 3.5 percent in 2009, partly due to expected strong coffee production. -- Burundi has a largely agricultural economy based on tea and coffee. Burundi in April revised upwards its coffee revenue forecasts for the 2010/11 season mainly due to improved harvest forecasts and better than expected global prices.
-- Burundi's coffee regulator, AFRIC, projects that revenues will increase by 389 percent to around $81.6 million from $16.7 million for the 2009/2010 crop.
-- AFRIC said output will leap to 31,000 tonnes in the 2010- 2011 season, up from a revised 6,381 tonnes the previous season. It had previously forecast 2010/11 crop to come in at 30,000 tonnes. Coffee is Burundi's top hard currency earner and employs 800,000 smallholder farmers.
-- It is the smallest economy of the five-nation East African Community trading bloc.
ETHNIC GROUPS: Hutu are 86 percent, Tutsi 13 percent, Twa pygmies 1 percent.
RELIGION: Christianity 67 percent, traditional African religions 32 percent, Islam 1 percent.
LANGUAGE: Rundi, Kirundi and French are the official languages. Swahili is used in business settings. GEOGRAPHY: The Republic of Burundi is in the Great Lakes region of Africa on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. It has borders with Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
