[Community] Turning Unrest Toward Opportunity
Roxie Jerde, roxie@cfsarasota.org
The pronounced violent acts across our country over the past few weeks were saddening and tragic. The families of those who lost their lives, or whose lives were threatened, are dealing with heavy burdens none of us should have to endure. These shocking acts also threaten our identity as a nation of hope and possibility. It is all too easy to get swept up in divisive rhetoric following these situations, further eroding trust and confidence among neighbors.
I choose, however, to view this unrest as an opportunity for our local nonprofits, faith-based communities and charitable foundations to step up in creating a stronger sense of identity, belonging and higher purpose for the regions we serve. We are the ones working on the ground, identifying the reality our citizens face and rallying the passion of the public to create a more vibrant community together. At the heart and soul of our work are our community members, and I like to remind everyone that philanthropy means the love of humanity.
We saw this firsthand this week when The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee quickly assembled a vigil on Monday evening, A Community in Solidarity, for the Tree of Life and our fellow citizens in Pittsburgh. By being proactive and listening to people who wanted to declare our community as inclusive, the Federation was able to bring together more than 2,200 people to demonstrate harmony among different faiths. While the event came about through tragedy, I was buoyed by the hopeful, caring spirit of everyone who attended. I was especially moved so many in our area felt it was important for them to be part of such a public showing of support.
From the space we work in, we see every day how it is individuals helping individuals that positively changes our world. In particular, philanthropy gives individuals the power to speak out and lead the way towards tackling tough subjects and making a brighter community for everyone. It serves as a tool for innovation, a purpose to gather people around a cause or passion, and philanthropy is inclusive for everyone who wants to be the one to make a difference at any level.
In the worst of times, I try to focus on what our special community has to offer.
Earlier during the day ahead of the vigil I was again reminded of just how proactive our community is in working to create opportunities for so many. For several years, the Community Foundation has supported a special 2Gen college campus at Alta Vista Elementary School for parents who wish to improve their family's future by pursuing certificates and education in nursing, information technology and technical trade skills. As I do for each cycle of students, I was fortunate enough to visit and have lunch with a group of moms who are pursuing their Certified Nursing Assistant licenses.
This program is literally life-changing and being undertaken by young women for whom life has not ever been easy. But thanks to donors who wanted to make a difference, they are pursuing opportunities they know will make their and their families' lives better. This type of transformative change comes through support and belief that we all have the power to change a life. I am always inspired by the resilience, commitment and optimism of both these women and those who provided the platform for their success.
At each Alta Vista 2Gen graduation I share a small quote—"every accomplishment starts with the decision to try"—and I think now more than ever we need to continue to try harder to embolden the love of humanity. Together, we have the expertise, knowledge, treasure and talent to address the issues facing the future of our region. Our success depends on building a genuine, honest sense of community, belonging and responsibility to answer a widespread feeling of insecurity. As a community, we can be the ones to make a difference and create positive, lasting impact. As I often say, all of us are smarter than one of us!

[Education] Coping with Student Anxiety in College Application Season
Jennifer Vigne, jvigne@edfoundationsrq.org
The fall season brings a minor but welcome drop in temperature to our area, but it also brings an unwelcome anxiety spike for many high school students.
In recent conversations with a couple of our professional partners, we shared our observations that more students seem to be experiencing higher levels of anxiety this fall than in previous years.
It's no wonder that high school seniors, in particular, exhibit signs of increased stress. After all, they are preparing for a big life change in moving from a familiar high school campus to the adult world. Other factors contribute to pressures piling up on these students, and unfortunately, some worries, such as the nuances triggered by their social relationships, aren't completely within parents' and teachers' ability to resolve.
But what can adults who care about our stressed-out students do to alleviate some of those other pressure points?
Consulting with my friendly experts, we drew up a list of frequent stress triggers and tips for helping students and their families cope during the senior stress season and emerge in good health—physically, mentally and emotionally.
1. Recognize that pressure, often inadvertent, comes from parents, peers, counselors, teachers and even students' expectations of themselves. Parents can lighten the pressure by actively encouraging and empowering students through the process.
2. Watch for red flags in behaviors that signal help is needed for students in these and similar situations: a student from a high-achieving family who's afraid he'll "let down" his family if he isn't accepted into the "right" college; a student who fears her university-bound friends will leave her behind if she goes to technical college; and the student who's not sleeping because he's working a part-time job, volunteering in the community and trying to earn top grades to qualify for a scholarship.
3. Be mindful of and help your student prepare for deadlines. The college application deadline was Nov. 1 for the University of Florida and Florida State University. Upcoming deadlines are Nov. 15 and Jan. 1 for other colleges, and some, including State College of Florida and University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, have rolling admission. The application period opened Oct. 1 for FAFSA and Bright Futures Scholarships—both important sources of free funds for postsecondary education, and no funds will be awarded if the student doesn't apply.
4. Assist with completing complex applications. The college admission process has grown more complex, time-consuming and individualized per institution. There is no "one" template that can be used for every application, and it is easy to be denied admission because a custom requirement was overlooked. Parents who don't feel qualified to provide direct assistance can direct their students to resources at schools, such as the Student Success Centers at Riverview High School and North Port High School, the College Resource Center at Booker High School or the Rotary Futures Center at Venice High School just to name a few.
5. Help students focus and prioritize postsecondary options. It's tempting to say, "The world is your oyster" and advise a young adult to explore all opportunities. But it takes a lot of time to complete applications for college, job training programs, financial aid and scholarships, and the senior year of high school is when students need to zero in on short lists. By talking with students, parents can help them figure out what's most important for their postsecondary education. If college is their choice, what will make a certain college a good fit? Academic reputation? Social life? Size of campus? Internships? Study-abroad programs?
6. Most importantly, keep open the lines of communication. Students are vulnerable to internalizing stress until anxiety builds to unhealthy levels and they shut down. Parents can increase their students' self-confidence with encouraging assurances such as: "I know you're giving it your best." "We're here for you." "You've got this." "Just breathe."

[On City Politics] Change The Future, Change The Date
Mary Anne Servian
As a former Mayor for the City of Sarasota, I've long since admired the pride residents take in their city. I believe that comes from the distinction in the city's arts and culture, in its beaches and other natural amenities, in its character and its quality, and in its desirability and economic horsepower.
City residents not only have a sense of pride in their community, but also in how they engage with it. When I was a city commissioner, there was always such spirited involvement across both the city's challenges and its opportunities. Because I think that's true, it's been difficult for me to watch as the community has failed to engage with one of its biggest challenges.
There's simply no denying it – the city is challenged by its voter turnout. For a city that prides itself on awareness and engagement, and on distinction and refinement, it's almost shocking that only around 20 percent of voters participate in city elections. I can't see any pride in that, nor have I heard anyone claim that there is. I've not heard one argument that says only having 1-in-5 voters casting a ballot for city commissioners as being something that makes this community better.
Sarasota can talk about being world-class and award-winning across many areas, but voter participation is not one of them. It's nice to be known for the Opera, the Ballet, the beaches, and baseball. It's nice to read about being one of the best places to retire or one of the best small cities in America. Wouldn't it be just as inspiring to be known as a community that leads the region in voter engagement? Isn't that a headline worth creating?
Unfortunately, it seems like nobody has been trying to write that headline. Low turnout has been a chronic ailment for the city and yet change has not come. That was until recently. Because of a steadfast, bi-partisan group of stakeholders, city voters are being asked if they would like to move their elections from the spring of odd-numbered years to the fall of even-numbered years. City Commissioners would be elected during the general election, when irrefutable evidence shows that voter turnout doubles or triples. Voters finally have a chance to write a new headline for voter turnout in city elections.
Of course, having been a city commissioner, I can tell you that you can't please everyone. There are those who object to moving the date, not because it demonstrably increases voter participation but because of speculation about unintended consequences. There seems to be fear that voters won't be as informed, so let's inform them. There seems to be fear that voters won't get to the commission races on the ballot, so let's get them there. Dust yourselves off Sarasota, there's a new headline to write in this town. Change the Future Sarasota, Change the Date Sarasota. Vote YES on the City Charter Amendment.
Mary Anne Servian is a former mayor of Sarasota.
[On County Politics] Vote No on Paving Paradise
This election, there are five questions on the ballot asking Sarasota County voters if they wish to amend the Sarasota County Charter, which is our County's "Constitution."
One is a peculiar ballot question captioned: "Charter Amendment to Reacquire and Retain Siesta Key Beach Road as Public Right of Way." To this question, all voters should vote "NO."
This proposed County Charter Amendment relates to the northernmost segment of Siesta Key's Beach Road (north of Columbus Boulevard), which was damaged, washed out and reclaimed by Mother Nature in the 1990s. It now contains sandy beach, coastal vegetation and sea turtle nests (see current photo). Inexplicably, this ballot question is asking voters to mandate the County to spend literally millions of tax dollars to pave over sandy beach and protected sea turtle nests to build a road that is no benefit to our public roadway network.
This segment of Beach Road has been impassable to cars since 1993. In 2016, Sarasota County formally determined that spending millions to rebuild and maintain this short segment of damaged road, now buried beneath sand, was unnecessary and not in the best interest of the public. Thankfully, the road is now formally closed to motor vehicles but remains open to the public in perpetuity for use by pedestrians, bicyclists, people who wish to exercise their pets and all who wish enjoy a view of the beach, the Gulf and the sunset. Sarasota County wisely converted this former segment of road into a linear park for the use and enjoyment of all Sarasota County residents. This is the same principle our County applied in converting former railroad right-of-way to what we now know as "Legacy Trail."
Significantly, by converting this former road into a linear park from which vehicles are prohibited, it forever foreclosed the prospect of privately-owned lands on the west side of the former Beach Road (the "beachside" of the road) from ever being developed with homes that would block the public's view and access to the Siesta Beach. Even "Dr. Beach," who named Siesta "America's Best Beach," commended the County Commission for closing Beach Road to cars!
Vote "NO" to this proposed Charter Amendment to save millions in taxpayer dollars, preserve this linear park, and protect it, its sea turtle nests and its other natural features from being replaced with an unnecessary and unneeded road. Vote NO to paving paradise!

[On City Politics] Use Common Sense, Change The Date
Linda Holland
Common sense... most people have it, some even use it... but more people need to tap into their common sense for this election cycle in voting for candidates and issues on all parts of the ballot. For Sarasota City voters, it is especially important for the Change the Date referendum. Voting in March for City Commissioners results in a dismal turnout every election cycle. More people vote in November and more people voting results in greater participation in the election process and greater accountability by those elected. Oh, by the way, it saves the City approximately $100,000 every March election. Imagine that, savings of your tax dollars by the City.
Amazingly there is opposition full of unfounded claims of special interests, dark money and other fear-based rhetoric. Even more surprising, particularly because the city elections are nonpartisan, is that the Democratic Party is telling their followers to vote no on this ballot issue. How odd, don't you think, for any political party to not want more votes cast. Sounds like special interest to me. On a very personal note, because that opposition is so fundamentally wrong at the core of our democracy, I have left the Democratic Party after 50 years of support. It was a tough decision but made because I know what's right and what's not. More voters make for a better democracy; less voters do not.
Even with the opposition, it's encouraging to see all of the VOTE YES on Change the Date signs in my Gillespie Park neighborhood as well as many other neighborhoods in the City. In a truly bipartisan way, they are paired with other signs for both Democrat and Republican candidates for a variety of offices. This is one very good opportunity to put aside partisan differences and support a common-sense issue. It's easy to understand, unlike so many of the other issues on the ballot. It's at the bottom of the ballot, so don't miss it.
As a voter in the City of Sarasota for 38 years, as well as an active neighborhood and community participant, I am asking you to vote YES for Change the Date. Why? Because it makes common sense.

[SCOOP] SMA Wreaths Across America
Sarasota Military Academy, a local public charter school, announced the 2018 SMA Wreaths Across America Campaign through a partnership with Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit that aims to remember fallen U.S. veterans, honor those who serve and teach children the value of freedom. During the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the Sarasota National Cemetery, SMA cadets and community members participate in honoring veterans and remembering their sacrifices and service. Through partnerships with other schools and organizations throughout Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties, this campaign has been led by SMA cadets, staff and their families since the Sarasota National Cemetery opened in 2009. The annual campaign yields back five dollars to SMA for each wreath sponsored, and fundraising dollars support cadet extra-curricular activities for both Academy middle school (Prep) and high school cadets. Sponsorships and donations will be accepted until Tuesday, Nov. 20, and the 2018 Wreaths Across America Ceremony will take place on Dec. 15.

Florida Studio Theatre is delighted to announce that Gulf Coast Community Foundation has issued a $45,000 "Arts Appreciation" grant to FST. These funds will underwrite FST's 2018/19 Winter Mainstage and Cabaret seasons and also sponsor FST's annual fundraising event on February 25. Producing Artistic Director Richard Hopkins shared his appreciation for the continued support of FST. "We pride ourselves in producing high-quality, contemporary theatre that is affordable and accessible to as many people as possible," shared Hopkins. "This year, our 45th Mainstage season, the Gulf Coast Community Foundation's generosity will enable us to produce high-quality work for a vast audience at a fraction of the standard price. This grant will also allow us to continue to produce challenging and entertaining original music revues in our ever-expanding Cabaret program. Without our partnership with the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, we would not be able to reach over 215,000 attendees every year."

[SCOOP] Street, Jail or Court...Selah Freedom is there!
This week, we welcomed home a survivor who is very special to our entire team. Our Outreach team relentlessly pursues the precious young lives we serve, many for over 2 years. It can take 7-8 touch-points with a survivor before they are ready to receive services or even believe that freedom is possible. Before coming to Selah Freedom, many of the survivors we serve share that they have had over 20 interventions. This survivor was on the streets for years and thanks to the relationship, trust and proven efforts of our team, she finally agreed to enter into our Residential Program. We are celebrating! Our incredible team proves to each young life that they are deserving of a second chance. They are the first point of contact for survivors and law enforcement and bring hope into the darkest places in our communities; brothels, jails, courtrooms and the streets. Tonight, a new survivor will sleep in a safe home surrounded by support and love. Your support of our mission has made that possible!

[SCOOP] Goodwill Manasota launches financial literacy mobile app
With the support of a grant of $10,000 last year from SunTrust Foundation, Goodwill Manasota has launched an app called "Show Me the Good Money," which will help users develop the skills needed to successfully manage personal finances and transition from poverty to economic independence. The app, which is free, is available at the Google Play store by searching "Show Me the Good Money." Apps offer a quick, easy and engaging way to gain financial knowledge for users of all ages. Research has demonstrated the positive impact of financial literacy training on low- and moderate-income workers and young adults, finding that the majority of program participants changed the way they budgeted and paid bills. With the "Good Money" app, Goodwill has focused on learning areas including "Checkbook 101," wealth accumulation, and managing savings. It will help to keep users on top of their money and better understand the consequences of their financial decisions. SunTrust Foundation has provided support for Goodwill's financial literacy programs for the past few years. The grants have been used to launch an internal financial literacy pilot program and then increase the reach and impact of the financial literacy coach at Goodwill, with the goal of helping participants better understand topics such as credit counseling, online banking and consumer credit.

« Army's Captain of Desert Warfare Specialised Unit Feared Drowned in…
Pro-US strategy may push India into the abyss : CCP Mouthpiece »
Half of Army under stress, says military think tank
Published January 8, 2021 | By admin
SOURCE: Tribune News Service
Every year, the Army loses its personnel to suicides, fratricides and untoward incidents. In the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in their stress levels.
"At present, more than half of the Army seems to be under severe stress…. this is due to operational and non-operational reasons," say the findings of the country's leading think tank, United Services Institution (USI), which is compiling a book from the outcome of a seminar "Prevailing Stress Levels in Indian Army due to Prolonged Exposure to Counter Insurgency/Counter Terrorism Environment", which it had organised in October 2020.
Excerpts of the same have been put up on the USI website under 'strategic perspectives' for the period October-December 2020. Among the JCOs and jawans, the study identifies reasons, including delay and denial of leave, excessive engagements, domestic problems, humiliation by seniors, lack of dignity, unreasonable restrictions on the use of mobiles, lack of recreational facilities, conflict with seniors as well as subordinates, health problems, inadequacy of train reservation, inefficient administrative support, financial problems, lack of transparency in promotions, delay in crediting of financial claims and poor quality of rations. "There is a need to remove all shortcomings at the earliest." says the study.

It is very important that you respond to the complaint no matter what. Not responding to what the upset fan posted on your wall may create more anger and will increase the chance of getting more complaints from this fan in the future. Additionally, although this complaint may be from only one fan, if other fans see that you don't reply to complaints it may appears as if you don't pay attention to customers and don't offer any customer support, which in turn harms the reputation of your brand. Do not try to delete the negative comment. Not everybody is going to have a good review of your product or service and if customers see only positive comments, they may think that you are deleting the bad ones.
Dealing with an upset fan is not always easy, but try to put yourself in your customer's shoes. Don't try to find who is at fault, apologize and find a solution.
Trying to contact the customer directly can be more effective than just a reply to the wall post. Apologize, try to find a solution and be personable. If you decide to make a solution publicly, some other customers could try to create a problem to just get the special treatment so beware of your response. Consider asking the customer to remove the wall post. If you don't feel comfortable asking this, or the customer doesn't want to remove it even though the issue was resolved, try to express happiness in the resolution and thank them for their business directly on the post.
If the fan doesn't respond after you have tried to contact them and it is evident that they are trying to just start arguments on your community wall, as a last resort you can always ban the user. Other fans in your community, along with your staff do not deserve the abuse and they always expect respect.

The now-extended Nelsen clan joined together yesterday not just for the delicious home-cooked food, but for family fellowship. Dad gathered us together in the morning, between table-setting and food-prepping, for a family devotion centered on the attitude of gratitude. After a brief history lesson behind misconceptions of the holiday itself, he shared scripture to focus our hearts on thanksgiving.
Psalm 100 – Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Interspersed between passages, each of us shared something we were thankful for from this past year. We were reminded of the big things God has been doing in each of our lives and the way He has provided for our families.
Having a spirit of thanksgiving should not be restricted to this time of year, but is a way to live our lives daily.
Psalm 95:1-6 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
We pray you had a very happy Thanksgiving with your families and will maintain the spirit of gratefulness throughout the year!
As my husband and I continue to settle into our apartment, I keep finding more small projects to do. For today, I finally finished my dry ingredient canisters. You can find the "cracker jars" at Walmart. I think they are very functional and look great! For now, I only needed them for my baking needs but you could always use them for other things like homemade mixes (brownie or pancake) or cookies and crackers. I chose to stencil labels onto them, knowing it would be temporary and easy to fix if I messed up. I was actually able to find everything I needed to complete the project in the apartment. No extra trip to the store!
There are many other ways you could label the jars, I chose the cheapest for me because I had the supplies I needed. I printed off a font that was easy to read and sized it accordingly. Using an x acto knife, I cut the letters out and then taped the words to the jar. I would suggest that if you want to be closer to perfection use a heavier paper than general printer paper. (I wasn't worried because I knew I could fix it by taking my fingernail or x acto knife to any blemishes.) To paint onto the jar, I used what I had on hand which was black acrylic paint. Sponge it on and you are almost done!
It is best to take the stencil off while the paint is still wet, or you will have to redo the painting. I made the mistake of waiting too long on the smaller jars and ended up taking all the paint off when the paper was removed. However, wait until it is dry to fix any blemishes.
I am excited to have NICE looking jars for my ingredients (with large enough openings for my measuring cups)! If I get tired of what the label looks like, I can just rub it off with a flat edge!
Have you ever had the kind of day that when you get home, you have no motivation to do anything? I have those several times a week! I can barely get myself to cook. I have learned that meal planning does help somewhat in keeping me on track and feeding Nathan and I.
Last week as I was searching for recipes to try I remembered my mom buying pork tenderloin pre-marinated. It seemed perfect for a night that I had no more motivation than to turn the oven on and stick a pan in. Of course, we couldn't have only the tenderloin. I was craving broccoli and wanted to dress it up a bit. I found a super quick recipe in one of my Taste of Home annual cookbooks (2010 I believe).
The tenderloin took about 30 minutes to cook through, while the broccoli was finished in half that time. It was a true 30 minute meal!
I finally feel like it is summer! I finished my first year of college the beginning of May, but then jumped right into two summer classes the following week. I have been done for two weeks now and I am FINALLY getting into the summer groove.
I know it has been a month since Mother's Day, but I wanted to share flowers we potted that weekend. Nathan and I surprised my mom for the afternoon. (I always forget to call or buy a card so I figured a visit would be a gift!) I am so thankful that for this season of life they are only 2 hours away! It's a nice get-a-way every once in a while.
Anyway, I have been wanting to pot some flowers for a while now, but never got around to buying a pot. My mother is so wonderful that she shared one of hers that she isn't using with me! Of course, I had to climb the ladder to the attic to get it, but I'm so glad I did because I found my old yellow mud boots from when I was 8. When I grew out of them, we potted flowers in one of them. So I decided, since they were mine after all, I should use both to add some playfulness to our entrance.
So glad I took them home with me! Brings back some great childhood memories of the great outdoors.
Do you have any creative ideas for adding plants to your outdoor space?
All I See are Poppies!
With all those coffee shops out there – you know what I'm talking about – does anyone out there ever invite friends over to their house anymore for coffee? Well I just did and we had a great time chatting up a storm. I'm thinking maybe I should do it a little more often. Time at the coffee shop for me usually means I am traveling with my husband and I have to find a place to land for a couple of hours while he works (attending meetings most of the time). I don't mind – I love the atmosphere of the "coffee shop" but chatting with my friend in the privacy of my home can't be beat.
Here is a recipe I tested for my at home coffee experience. It is called Cinnamon Crumble Coffee Cake – I found it on www.bigoven.com.
First of all the serving size says 4 and it is baked in a 9″ x 13″ pan. A bit crazy but probably an entry error. This is a very rich cake and eating 1/4 of it would be almost 3 days worth of calories.
1. Mix together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add in the oil.
2. Divide this mixture – one half slightly larger than the other – into 2 bowls.
3. In the smaller portion add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until free of lumps ( mixture will be thin ). Pour into greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
4. In the larger portion add the butter, cinnamon & nuts. Mix with hands or pastry blender, making crumbs, leaving some large crumbs. Sprinkle over first layer in pan.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes till browned. Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
This is best served warm of course. It is a bit heavy to my liking, so if you like rich foods this is it. Overall it is a good recipe but not sure I will make it again.
Do you invite others over for coffee?
This weekend we had our first Grace Elizabeth's planning meeting. Saturday was full of brainstorming and decision making. You may notice we changed our look (one of the many outcomes of our meeting). Because the four women were hard at work, the two men lucky enough to be around (our father and my husband) catered our food. By the way they fed us BOTH lunch and dinner. Aren't they awesome? Their lunch menu: Macaroni Cheese Soup and Garlic Grilled Asparagus. Their dinner menu: Grilled Chicken Fajitas and Spanish Rice.
They are allowing me to share one recipe with all of you!
Heat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken (6 min per side). Remove chicken from grill, cover, and rest for 5 minutes. Slice chicken and keep warm.
Heat skillet over med-high. Saute onions and pepper slices in the vegetable oil for about 5 minutes. Combine soy sauce, water and lime juice in a small bowl then add to onion mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook until onions are dark on edges (about 5 minutes more).
The men did a great job. No one went hungry!
Wow! This week has flown by! I feel as though I am at full speed and yet have completed nothing. It is days like these that I would love to add a couple hours to the day. Of course that isn't something I can change so I need to organize my time better.
So today I have an announcement! Wedding pictures are in the mail! That means I will be able to share some with you in the weeks to come. So exciting! However, today I have more about the kitchen. Because I have been spending my time on school like a good college student, I haven't been able to do the things I want to do.
In my apartment complex the only windows on the front wall are small rectangles above the cabinets. Most people have boxes crowded on top of the cabinets. I personally didn't want to do the same because then I would have to look at the mess daily. Instead I wanted to display things that showed my personality!
My window display consists of: a "Kiss the Cook" sign (bridal shower gift from Nathan's mother), hydrangeas, mason jars, and cake stands. I love the sign! However, I love it even more surrounded by the hydrangeas. When I was unpacking the cake stands, I thought displaying them would be much better than trying to store them somewhere. I would say now they are easier to get to but… I won't be doing much baking. I have a compact oven which burns edges before the inside is even near ready. Ugh!
Anyway, I also used wedding decorations for my table. I have a chalkboard stand from Hobby Lobby that I use to write the meals for the day or just a note to my husband. Originally it gave the instructions at the guest table. I also used more hydrangeas and mason jars. I have to admit the kitchen is my favorite part of the apartment (not including the oven). Probably because I have put the most work into it so far!
Remember to stop by next week! Wedding pictures to come!!!!!
When I was looking for gifts to make for my family this Christmas, I came across this idea to make a monogram on canvas using embroidery thread. I thought the 3D look would be pretty cool, but I never realized how long it would take me to make three of them!
This one is the first I made. Therefore, many mistakes were made because it was kind of an experiment. However, now I have a pretty good idea of how to complete this craft without too many mistakes!
I started with canvas, embroidery thread, tape, white thread, and rope. I first played with the rope to decide what shape my letters should take. Then I taped the rope down to the canvas in the desired shape. After the rope is taped down, I took the white thread and tied down the rope about every couple inches or as needed to keep the shape. Then I started embroidering, keeping my stitches as close together as I could in order to fully cover the rope. After covering a little bit of the rope, I went back to the end or start point to try and cover the frayed edge. Then I kept going around the rope until it was all finished!
Word to the wise – don't poke unnecessary holes in the canvas because you will still be able to see them when you are all done. That is the biggest lesson that I learned when making the first monogram. Originally, I was using pins instead of tape to hold the rope while I used the white thread to secure the rope, but then I changed the shape of my letter, which uncovered the holes I made with the pins.
I made a "J" and a "P" monogram as well, but my favorite was the "J" for my older sister and her husband because it had a really cute curl at the bottom of the letter. It was also made with this variegated brown thread which is going to look so nice in their home where they have been decorating with a lot of those neutral colors and a western twist to a lot of their decor.
Overall, each monogram probably took me 5 or more hours to complete because the embroidery was slow going. I was using the entire length of embroidery thread each time, so that was a lot of thread to pull through each stitch I made. And with a long length of thread comes the problem of it becoming tangled, which happened quite often. However, I enjoyed making them for my family and can't wait to see how they display them in their homes.

KPO To Analytics To Data Sciences – How To Drive The Maturity Curve To Drive Enterprise Growth
Time to Read: 6 minutes
Most organization do not take full advantage of the power of their data. They use it in only basic ways, such as creating reports and analyzing past trends. But what if they could do much more? What if they could find hidden patterns and ocnnections across all of their data? What if they could use those insights to anticipate future trends? What if they could take it yet a step further, creating thousands of possible scenarios and then identifying the ones most likely to achieve the organization's specific goals?
This is the data sciences maturity, the step-by-step process through which an organization gradually gains more knowledge about its data to create new opportunities and solve complex problems. It is comparable to how an organization traditionally gains insight: by continually testing and refining its institutional knowledge with new information and experience.
This data science maturity is measurable by what we defined as Data Science Maturity Quotient (DSMQ) with key dependency on data quality (DQ), data-driven leadership (L), people with analytics skills (P), data-driven decision making process (D) and agile infrastructure (I)
(DQ) – DATA QUALITY
Data Science starts on solid foundation of good data. Organizations who have invested in infrastructure with appropriate data collection and storage process have laid the ground work needed to start leveraging data as an asset. Bad data quality can severely impair an organization's ability to learn about their customers and their products through data. Hence data quality is the foundation on which analytics stands.
(P) – PEOPLE
Next comes, people with right analytical skills, both technical skills to analyze data and interpersonal/business skills to bridge the gap from data to business. Investment in data science training (most analysts don't have background with formal analytics training) and hiring senior data sciece professionals to lead the team moves the organization another 30% towards analytics maturity.
Collaborate With Organizational Change Management Teams to Design a Holistic Approach to Data Science Skills Development
Product training offered by vendors and system integrators at time of purchase focuses on the features and functions of the tools. Meanwhile, enterprises deploying analytics solutions spend much of their energy and resources on implementing these analytics tools and building analytical data models.
However, our client interactions suggest that organizations achieving analytics excellence spend as much or more time making necessary changes to improve staff effectiveness and adapt key processes. Organizations with lower analytics maturity are most successful with analytics when they build solid foundational competencies for data and analysis — such as understanding the context of the data they are using, the impact of data quality and the relation of key metrics with business decision making. Organizations that are more advanced with analytics are able to maximize the use of sophisticated analytics solutions, models and algorithms, and make effective use of data scientists.

Linking data and analytics to behavioral and cultural change is emerging as the next challenge to addressing the full potential of the digital workplace. Gartner identifies analytic culture as one of the four "pillars" of a comprehensive business analytics program.
The purpose of analytics is to enable evidence-based decision making, stimulating change actions that drive additional and measurable business value. In effect, a business change is implied whenever analytics are deployed. The impact on people and on behavior is potentially significant, and not always immediately obvious.
Organizational change management skills are therefore crucial for success. Moving to a higher level of analytic maturity involves initiatives that are enterprisewide and strategic, and that often span different geographic locations, time zones, cultures and business units. To achieve change toward a data-driven culture, developing a holistic and business-oriented approach to data science skills is integral.
(D) – DECISION MAKING PROCESS
Once leadership and people are in place, then data needs to be inserted into the decision making process. As an example, how a company allocates marketing budget is a good representation of whether data has a place in the decision making process. Is it zero-sum based? i.e. $$'s allocated based on expected ROI. Or is it status quo per last year and some incremental. (I.e. data is irrelevant in decision making). Data-driven decision making makes up 20% of the DSMQ pie. Also, deciding on how to progress the decision making process as far as Capability is concerned is a curcial aspect.
Building the Data Science Capability Maturity
Data Science Capability Maturity is characterized by five stages, each stage a necessary building block for the next. The first two stages are Collect and Describe, in which organizations gather data and organize it in a useful way. Most organizations are at this stage, where data analysis tends to focus on what happened in the past.
Related Article Building a Customer-Centric Organization with Next-gen Analytics
The next stage is Discover. Organizations use the data they collected and described to search for valueable patterns and connections. This kind of knowledge can be game-changing – in detecting fraud, for example, or in discovering a business opportunity that competitors do not see.
The insights gained in the Discover stage prepare an organization for the next stage, Predict. Here, data scientists use computer models to create and think through any number of possible scenarios, and then determine which ones are most likely to occur.
In the final stage, Advise, data sciences are used to sift through the most likely scenarios and recommend the optimal course of action based on the organizations resources and goals. Ultimately decision makers will still rely on the collective wisdom of their organizations – that does not change. But now, they can tap the collective wisdom of the data as well.
( I ) – INFRASTRUCTURE
The remainder 10% comes from investing in agile infrastructure for ease of instrumentation i.e. as one does analytics and there is need for previously unavailable data, is there an agile infrastructure in place to quickly enable capturing of new data field and sources. The new data source or field then feeds into the foundation with which we started i.e. data quality.
So analytics maturity is a cycle that feeds into itself. Each incremental step enables higher degree of maturity in other dependent areas. The biggest hurdle organizations face, as they embark on the analytics journey, is data-driven leadership. Once that is in place, and they focus on bringing in right analytics skills, often rest falls in place.
(L) – Leadership
Once the foundation is laid, one of the first things needed is leadership that believes in leveraging data for making decision. Data-driven leaders not only trust data to prove/dis-prove their own beliefs about business opportunities but also are open to learn from data, of their beliefs. Once the organization has majority of decision makers wired to leverage data, 40% of the battle is won.
Identify And Communicate A Common Vision And Target State For Data Science
The overall end-state and business expectations for data science capability will need to be defined and socialized. It is a common and wrong assumption that everyone understands, and is on board with, the concept of data science and evidence-based decision making. Establishing the expected target state helps ensure that both the IT department and business leadership have a common vision of the transformation, and are able to articulate the rationale for the adoption of analytics and maintain focus of the data science program. Establishing the desired business outcomes for analytics is foundational to the learning process and ensures that any training is carried out within the context of the business plan. Any change plan will also incorporate sufficient flexibility and adaptability to enable the organization to respond to changes in market dynamics

Prepare for cultural-readiness education
Overall organizational readiness for change is important. A low level of readiness to be a data-driven/analytic business can be a major inhibitor. Evaluate analytics readiness using a maturity assessment such as Gartner's ITScore for Business Intelligence , and then prepare for a program of information awareness, education and data literacy prior to delivering more in-depth analytics training.
Final Calculation of Data Science Maturity Quotient
Speaking in mathematical terms,
DSMQ = DQ x (0.4 x L + 0.3 x P + 0.2 x D + 0.1 x I)
DQ represents data quality with value between 0 and 10. Sufficiently accurate data is foundational to data science and poor data quality would handicap any organization wanting to leverage data for decision-making
L stands for the degree to which the leadership is data driven and has a value between 0 and10. 0 being organizations where there are no leaders who believe in leveraging data for decision making and 10 for organizations where all the leaders are data-driven
P is the degree to which organization has people with right analytics skills. The analytics professionals use structured process for delivering efficient analysis with actionable recommendation to drive business impact. This too, takes value between 0 and10
D represents the degree to which the organization has data inserted within decision making process and takes on values from 0 to10
I, represents the organization's readiness to instrument quickly and takes on value from 0 to10.
You will get a score out of 100, which could give you a very precise estimate on your data science maturity.
At the end of the day, customers are central to our business. Organizations which leverage data science and evidence-based decision model to understand their customers' needs and behavior, and transform their offering accordingly, will fast gain market share and popularity.

Q: Android Multipart HTTP Post does not send the File's MIME type Trying to figure what's wrong with my codings. I followed a blog post from here.
I managed to get the codes to actually upload the file to a PHP web service. However, for some reason although I've set explicitly the MIME type for the file, PHP shows that the MIME is just a blank string and therefore rejected.
Here's my codings:
public String SendPost(String fn, String bid, String caption, String uid, String APIKey, String postHash)
        throws ParseException, ClientProtocolException, IOException {
    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);

    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(UrbURL);

    Log.i("POSTFN", fn);
    Log.i("POSTFN", bid);
    Log.i("POSTFN", caption);
    Log.i("POSTFN", uid);
    Log.i("POSTFN", APIKey);
    Log.i("POSTFN", postHash);

    String postAuth = uid + postHash;
    postAuth = md5(postAuth);
    postAuth = postAuth.substring(0, 16);
    //Log.i("POSTAUTH", postAuth);

    MultipartEntity mp = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

    /*File tempImg = new File(fn);
    FileBody bin = new FileBody(tempImg, "image/jpg");*/
    mp.addPart("business_photo", new FileBody(new File(fn), "image/jpg"));

    //StringBody s = new StringBody(bid, "text/plain", Charset.forName( "UTF-8" ));
    mp.addPart("business_id", new StringBody(bid, "text/plain", Charset.forName( "UTF-8" )));

    //s = new StringBody(caption, "text/plain", Charset.forName( "UTF-8" ));
    mp.addPart("photo_caption", new StringBody(caption, "text/plain", Charset.forName( "UTF-8" )));

Many thanks before :)

A: I had the same problem and just fixed it.
I found that using the HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE prevented the correct mimeType from being set in my request, when using a ByteArrayBody for an image. I assume this is probably the same problem you are having.
When I changed this line:
MultipartEntity mp = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

to
MultipartEntity mp = new MultipartEntity();

then the mime type was set correctly and the service upload worked.
I see that people used the BROWSER_COMPATIBLE for solving another problem, but hopefully you don't need it.

A: I just had the same issue when updating HttpClient from version 4.1 to version 4.4. Neither removing HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE
nor replacing with other alternative options did help.
A solution that requires the minimum change for me is to explicitly specify the filename when constructing a FileBody, i.e. replacing
new FileBody(file, mimeType)

with
new FileBody(file, filename, mimeType, charset)

As for version HttpClient 4.4, the reason might be that new FileBody(file, mimeType) assigns null to the filename field rather than uses file.getName(). Then, when executing formatMultipartHeader in HttpMultipart, the filename of the part that is going to be formatted is checked if not null in BROWSER_COMPATIBLE mode. If null, then the whole body is ignored.

A: We have the same issue here. Using HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE removed the correct mimetype being sent.
Unfortunately using the 'normal' MultipartEntity() is not an option for us, as this way the rails backend messes up the request handling.
Is there any way to set the content-type of the multipart yourself and use HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE??

A: I had the same problem for awhile for posting 3 FileBodies and 1 mime info, the mime (in json) was never received unless I sent only one filebody. I always addpart the filebody first which caused me the problem. I reversed the order by addpart the mime at very beginning and every info including mime are received correctly at php server end.

A: Instead of including the jars files you can use the http multipart classes defined in android but declared as internal, so you cannot use them directly, you have to download them from the android source code and add them to your project. Some basics modifications must be performed before using them, nothing difficult (change the packages name, remove all logger
calls). It works perfectly for me.I hope this could help somebody,

A: So while all the above answers did help in getting it right.
But just removing the HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE wouldn't solve it.
You can set the mime type by doing this
ByteArrayBody bab = new ByteArrayBody(params.getByteArray("data"), "image/jpeg" , "image.jpg");

N.B. I am using the latest repackaged android client http://code.google.com/p/httpclientandroidlib/ which supports multipart uploads, etc.

Italy called on Friday for an immediate de-escalation and the exercise of maximum restraint on the conflict in Derna.
The Italian Embassy tweeted that it joins the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) in its urgent appeal for the protection of civilians in Derna, de-escalation, and restraint.
The Embassy affirmed its country's readiness to provide humanitarian aid if "safe humanitarian access is granted by the parties involved."
Earlier, the UNSMIL appealed to all parties to the conflict in Derna to exercise restraint and to take precautions to protect civilians in compliance with the international humanitarian law.

Thread: Speedy Product Creation Tips?
One simple way is to find experts in the niche and then interview them (either video or audio). Then get it transcribed to create an e-book/report. Package them together and that's a great little info product.
Obviously, there's PLR, but there's very little that doesn't require a big re-write to be of the high standard I'd want from a product.
This is exactly what I've done over the past few years and it's painless to create super high quality products. I always take the interview and sync it with a powerpoint/keynote to make a video -- since that really ramps up the value of the product!
If you want to get more Ideas and how to make the product, I will suggest you to take a look at Product Ideas Generator. It helps a lot.

That's actually a great tip. Thanks.
I know of a few marketers that use Dragon Naturally Speaking and are able to write tons of content.
1. Add audio to EVERYTHING and sell it as a new package. If you have a video, pull the audio. If you have text, record the audio, etc. It's a quick, easy way to add more value.
2. If you have a blog, you could put together some of your most popular posts (with audio), and toss in a bit of new stuff for a quick, small product. The same can be true with popular e-mail blasts, depending on your style of writing.
3. Buy a bunch of stock art with a commercial license (make sure that the license allows for this!) and bundle it all together and sell the bundle for a WHOLE lot more.
4. Make a video series based on previous blog posts/ e-mail blasts, and sell that as a product.

One way to think of product ideas super quickly is to study sales pages and take a look at the bullet points. Each bullet point can be a product idea on its own!
As for creating products quickly simply purchase some courses related to your desired product topic and improvise upon them!
Naidy make a great point - studying sales pages for ideas. Personally I'd also look at the reviews and feedback on products you're interested in - especially any constructive criticism. Because if a product is basically good but 'missing' a key element, you could re-purpose it with a focus on including that missing piece.
Fast product creation itself is easy. It's the research that takes time. If you really want to re-purpose an existing product (s) with your own twist, you need to put the product's methods to use and see how they work. Then you can build in the improvements. Once you've done that, you can bang out an eBook and some screen shot videos in a weekend!
Speeding up this process might be pretty tricky. Because you might want to offer your potential customers exactly what they need. And understanding what your customers want requires some time. If you say you can handle all the work yourself, you might want to understand better what is the thing that you need to speed up.
I research, write, have someone proofread it, assign the website design to someone, then test, test and test, this is what you need. Testing will help you understand better how to do everything better and automatically faster next time.

Rapha unveils new Legion kit
L39ION of Los Angeles' latest kit has landed, and it is everything we would have expected from cycling's new favourite team
Words: Peter Stuart
L39ION of Los Angeles' new Rapha team kit has just been unveiled, capturing the alternative and disruptive force of the team in what Rapha describes as a "crashing wave design with a surge of volcanic energy."
The team, which predominantly races on the US crit scene but has become a UCI Pro Continental team this year, already showcased the kit at the Tulsa Tough, where the team took a clean sweep in the men's and women's races.

Related – Lachlan Morton's Tour de France
L39ION founder Justin Williams said: "Your uniform is what you go to battle in, what we crash and fight for, what we stand on the podium with and what makes us feel pride in what we are doing. When I put this kit on it means that I've made something of myself and I'm paving the way for others to have a chance at doing the same."
Central to the new collection is a new Pro Team Aero jersey, for both men and women, complimented by a set of Pro Team bib shorts, alongside branded accessories such as caps, socks, snoods and bidons.

Alongside the race kit, though, we'll also be treated to a yet-unseen men's and women's Pro Team Training Jersey.
The women's team, dubbed the L39ION Lionesses, was launched earlier this year. They spoke to Rouleur about their goals for the season ahead and since then, team member Kendall Ryan took victory at the US Pro Road Championships two weeks ago.
"Every time I put on the L39ION kit I think of all of the thought that went into not only the colours and design but also the fit, and the many people behind it," says Skylar Schneider, L39ION rider and former US National Junior Road Race Champion. "So when I put on the L39ION kit, I always feel proud and empowered to do my best because it makes me feel my best, and also, I know that it looks the best."
The Legion of Los Angeles 2021 kit is available from Thursday 1st July at rapha.cc.

Historical Bamberg Breweries #2
Bamberger Hofbräu
by Fred Waltman
As you walk down Karolinenstrasse in the Bamberg Altstadt you may come across an old building that certainly sounds like it is (or was) a brewery: Bamberger Hofbräu. The name had always intrigued me because the literal translation is along the lines of "Court Brewery." But Bamberg has not had a Royal court in the usual sense of the word. Until 1803 Bamberg and most of Franconia was ruled by a "Prince Bishop" of the Catholic church. The Archbishop of Bamberg not only had great ecclesiastical power, he was also the civil ruler of the Principality. In 1803 the Bavarians invaded and conquered Franconia and thereafter it was ruled from Munich (Napolean gave the Bavarians his approval as thanks for helping him against the Austrians). So I started digging and found an interesting story.
The Bamberg Hofbräu restaurant on Karolinenstrasse (above) and a close up of an old lantern (below).
In the 1880's a Jewish hop broker from Bamberg named Simon Lessing saw an opportunity. Bamberg had long been a center of the hop trade. It was also becoming a malting center with the new methods of industrial scale malting developed at Weyermann Malz (founded 1879) and others. Bamberg was also a rail hub where North-South and East-West rail lines crossed. (The first German railroad was built in Franconia — from Fürth to Nürnberg in 1835). With hops, malt and transportation readily available, Simon Lessing founded in 1885 Die erste Bamberger Exportbrauerei Frankenbräu AG— the first real industrial sized Bamberg brewery and the first to brew beer for primarily export to other parts of Germany and the world (the AG stands for "Actien-Gesellschaft" signifying it is a joint stock company). Within a couple of years it was producing over 50,000 Hl per year, quite a large volume for that time. In 1888 Frankenbräu won a number of medals in the Brussels Worlds Fair. The brewery was on Pödeldorfer Straße near the train station and the malting plants, thereby simplifying transportation. The building in the picture above was their tap room in town.

Years later, around the turn of that century, Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria lived in Bamberg (in the Bishops Residence -- really a palace -- next to the Cathedral). He was such a big fan of the Frankenbräu beer that he allowed them to change their name to Bamberger Hofbräu, giving them a "royal patent" as it were. Something similar to what you find on shops in the UK — "By Appointment to His/Her Majesty ...." A couple of years later Simon Lessing died (1903) and control passed to his 22 year old son Willy Lessing and Simon's widow, Clara.
In Germany after the First World War there was a great period of business consolidation and breweries were no exception. In 1919 Bamberger Hofbräu merged with Erlangen Hofbräu (but production remained in Bamberg). They also bought small local breweries like Brauerei "Weisse Taube" (which was located where the Ibis Hotel is today) and Brauerei Eckenbüttner (which is today the Parfumerei Douglas on the Maxplatz). After the mergers the Lessings remained the majority stockholders. Production increased to over 180,000 Hl annually.

The Complete German Brewery Index
What kind of beers were brewed? Records show a helles named "Domquell" was popular, along with a dunkel and export. A couple of bocks named "Dominator" and "Exquisator" rounded out the strong end of the beer lines. The "Dom" is a reference to the Bamberg Cathedral (or "Dom").
Ad from the back cover of the 1936 Bamberg Yearbook, provided by John White of www.WhiteBeerTravels.com
When the Nazi's came to power Bamberg was not spared the horrors the rest of Germany experienced. The Jewish community in Bamberg was one of the oldest in Bavaria. Starting in 1934 the Nazi's forced many Jewish stockholders to sell their holdings at fire sale prices. In 1936 the Nazi's appropriated the shares of Hofbräu AG owned by Willy Lessing . Around this time his wife and son left Germany for England (his son, Fred Lessing, later lived in New York City) . Willy stayed in Bamberg.
In the evening of November 9th, 1938 ("Kristalnacht") the Bamberg Synagogue was set on fire by the mob. At 2am Willy Lessing came down to the Synagogue and implored the fire department to put out the fire (They did not put out the fire but stood by to make sure the fire didn't spread to nearby buildings.). A gang of Hitler Youth then beat Willy severely. At this time Jews were not allowed into the local hospital but the Archbishop of Bamberg was able to bring pressure to bear and WIlly was admitted. However, he died of his injuries two months later on January 17, 1939, two days before his 58th birthday.
After the Second World War, in 1946, one of the arsonists was sentenced to two years in prison and one of Willy's assailants was sentenced to four years in prison. Two others were identified, but not tried. Two years later in 1948 the Bamberg City Council renamed Sophienstrasse, the street where Simon Lessing had his hop brokerage and both generations of Lessings lived, to Willy-Lessing-Strasse. (For those of you familiar with Bamberg, this is the street from the Luitpold Bridge over the Regnitz towards the Altstadt). Fred Lessing appears to have received some compensation, but the he was no longer involved in the brewery. His mother (Willy's wife) had died in London in 1944.

In 1972 the company was aquired by the large Nürnberg brewer Patrizierbräu. Production continued until 1977 when the brewery was closed and torn down. On the site on Pödeldorfer Straße today stands the offices of the local Health Insurance Administration. The Bamberger Hofbräu name was used on beers until 1991 when the Munich based parent of Hacker-Pschorr aquired Patrizier and discontinued the brand in favor of their own brands. In the early 1990's a resturant openned at the site of the former tap room and took the name in honor of Bambergs first large brewery.
