Q: Using ClassNameMap or Record type for passing styles from one component to another I am trying to pass more than one class styles from one component to another.
From Component A I am doing this,
const useStyles = makeStyles(() =>
    createStyles({
      label:{
        width: "100%",
        height: "100%",
        margin: "10px",
        backgroundColor: "white",
      },
    flex:{

    }
    })
  );
const styles=useStyles();

const getAllList=labelNames.map((name: string):ReactNode => {
 return (<Load
            label={name}
            classes={styles.flex} //here showing error under classes as "Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'ClassNameMap<string> | undefined'."
            width={"100%"}
            onDataChange={(value: string, data: string): void => {
            }}
          />);
});

In Load component I declared like below,
interface Props {
  width: string;
  label: string;
  classes?: ClassNameMap;
  onDataChange: (selectedvalue: string, data: string) => void;
}

"Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'ClassNameMap | undefined'."
above error I am getting in the line which I mentioned above. I am unable to find what need to do to fix the error. Any idea or suggestions will help me to resolve. Anyone have any idea about how to pass class styles to specific component.
Also, I need to pass more than one style as props.

A: ClassNameMap and Record<string, string> are essentially the same.  Both are objects whose keys are strings and whose values are string class names.  If you want to refine the keys to just the allowed class names, ClassNameMap<'label' | 'flex'> is the same as Record<'label' | 'flex', string>.
That's not your issue.  Your problem is that the Load component expects an object of class names, but you are providing it with a single string class name styles.flex.  That's why you get the error message:

Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'ClassNameMap | undefined'.

Based on what you are saying here:

I need to pass more than one style as props

Probably you want to pass the entire object that you got from the useStyles hook.  Pass classes={styles} instead of classes={styles.flex}.

What Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine wants is what he now might be getting - competition.
Valentine wants his starting rotation to fight in every inning of every game, with the message that if the pitchers do that they have the best chance to remain in the rotation when Daisuke Matsuzaka returns from his Tommy John surgery rehabilitation.
That could be as soon as May 22, after Matsuzaka makes his next, and most likely last, rehab start for Pawtucket Thursday.
The Sox could extend that one more start if Matsuzaka stumbles, because his rehab time doesn't run out until May 23. But if he pitches well and is healthy, he will be in the major league rotation.
While Valentine has gone with six-man rotations in Japan and also at times in his 16-year major league managerial career, he has indicated he likely won't go to a six-man at all now, or if he does it will not be for very long.
He seems to know what he's going to do but he's not telling a soul.
It appears that Josh Beckett and Jon Lester, the top two starters, won't be going anywhere. Valentine said he wouldn't want the routines of established starters disrupted, believing that would cause more harm than good.
He said if the older pitchers need more time for a physical issue or if the younger hurlers need to have their innings managed, a six-man rotation might be in play. But in saying that, he didn't seem to think Daniel Bard fell into the second category, and he didn't mention whether Felix Doubront did.
Given the financial commitment to Clay Buchholz and the fact that he pitched into the seventh inning Friday night, allowing three earned runs, Buchholz probably won't be moving to the bullpen.
That leaves Bard and Doubront.
And if there's a competition between the two for who survives and who goes back to the pen, it's neck and neck. Doubront pitched well Saturday night and Bard did too in Sunday's 12-1 win over Cleveland.
Are they perfect? Far from it, but both are progressing into decent major league starters.
Bard is finding out just how difficult it is to be a consistent winner.
He's 3-4 with a 4.30 ERA after pitching six innings Sunday, allowing one run on six hits with four walks and two strikeouts. Bard, who once had a 100 mile-per-hour fastball, was throwing 93-94 against the Indians and couldn't get it over consistently.
But what experienced pitchers do is find something that works and stick with it.
Sunday, Bard found his breaking ball and changeup.
When you're a reliever, you can come in for that one or two innings and throw 98-100 m.p.h. and blow the fastball past everyone. What Bard has found as a starter is he needs to find a velocity with his fastball that allows him to command it.
In some ways he's turning into a finesse pitcher as he's struck out only four batters in his last 18 1/3 innings after starting the season with 19 Ks in his first 18 2/3 innings.
Bard, like Doubront, hasn't had it all together in every start.
What Bard is and what we thought he'd be are different at the moment.
We thought he would have a great fastball capable of striking out a lot of hitters, but that hasn't happened in his last four starts.
But sometime between now and May 22, Valentine (and we think he will make the decision) will have to figure out what's best for the team. Is Bard or Doubront more valuable in the rotation? Which of the two is better-suited for the bullpen?
We know the answer to the bullpen part. It's Bard. But it's hard to come this far down the road with him as a starter and then send him back to his old job. And these are what teams call "good decisions'' to have to make, and the Sox haven't had many of those lately.
Someone isn't going to like the decision.
We know Bard would hate going back to the pen. So the less messy decision is sending Doubront there. But do you want to disrupt his development?
What we do know is that Matsuzaka won't be working in relief.
What's been most alarming about Matsuzaka's rehab outings is that his velocity hasn't been much over 91 m.p.h. The Sox have had him throwing major league baseballs in the minors to reduce the threat of blisters. The minor league ball has more pronounced seams.
Matsuzaka is a $10 million-a-year pitcher and this is his last hurrah in Boston.
Valentine has been intrigued by him since he got here because of his experience facing him in Japan and his knowledge of Japanese pitchers and what makes them tick. He believes he can make a difference in Matsuzaka's comfort level, his between-game routine. He hopes that comfort will translate into quality starts.
Whatever happens, competition is what a team always shoots for.
It tells you who wants it the most.

Temple Nile Slots Review
New customers only. 18+ T&Cs and wagering requirements apply. ...More
Temple Nile at a Glance
Top highlights: Sophisticated-looking site design; generous real-world rewards
VIP or loyalty programme: Yes
Other offerings: Live casino; poker; bingo; scratchcards
About Temple Nile
2018 has seen a number of new casino sites established that serve to demonstrate just how sophisticated online gambling portals can now be – and Temple Nile, with its spectacular graphics that tie into its Egyptian theme, gives every impression of being one of those from the outset.
The brand is managed by the Malta-registered company White Hat Gaming Limited, and showcases hundreds of the latest slots, roulette, blackjack and other casino games.
Any casino site is largely defined by its promotions, and Temple Nile fares well in this regard. You can look forward to goodies much like those you would expect to find on the highest-profile and longest-established gambling sites today, including:
A big bonus for those putting down a deposit for the first time
Real-world prizes from the Temple Bazaar section, as explained in greater detail below
Range of Casino Games
One of the best reasons to sign up at Temple Nile is unquestionably the astonishing wealth of casino games to be enjoyed here across all of the obvious categories, plus a few lesser-spotted ones – think slots, roulette, blackjack, poker, scratchcards and so much more.
The below are just a few of our favourite games on the site:
Jimi Hendrix Online Slot
As you would expect from a casino site only just set up in 2018, there's a specially optimised version of the site that can be enjoyed by those accessing it via their smartphone or tablet. There wasn't yet a downloadable app available at the time of this review being written, but you can reach this mobile-ready version of the site simply by navigating to it through your device's web browser.
The mobile site is a great place to enjoy optimised versions of such popular games as:
Drive: Multiplier
Despite the site's relative youth, there are already hundreds of titles to enjoy here, and we're sure that many more will be added in the months and years ahead.
While you certainly won't find sports betting being offered at Temple Nile, it covers all of the bases that you would expect a casino site to cover – and then a few more.
Available poker games here, for example, include the likes of Reely Poker, Oasis Poker Pro and Texas Hold'em Bonus Poker. If you're more in the mood to dabble in bingo, however, the two options of Bingo Billions and Reely Bingo should be of interest to you, and then there's the 'scratch and fun' category, which serves up Pots o' Luck, Irish Eyes Scratch and Snake Charmer Scratch.
Software and Graphics
Another major highlight of life at Temple Nile is the sheer graphical sophistication of the place – and by that, we're referring to both the main site and the games themselves.
Both the desktop and mobile-optimised variants of the site are quite something to behold, although the manner in which the graphics are rendered can be a little slow and clunky on occasion, and loading times can sometimes be a second or two longer than we would like.
Nonetheless, the intuitive design of the Temple Nile site means you're hardly likely to get lost trying to find the right place to deposit or seek help.
The games, meanwhile, are powered by many of the most respected software developers in the online casino gaming industry right now, such as:
Whether you want vibrancy or realism from your chosen casino games, you're sure to have precisely the experience you desire at Temple Nile.
If Temple Nile has a 'signature feature' as such, it has to be the Temple Bazaar section. This is the part of the site where you can spend the Temple Tokens that you accumulate through playing the site's games, on all manner of rewards.
Examples of things that could be bought from the Temple Bazaar at the time we visited for this review included, but were by no means restricted to:
Extra spins on certain games
A Mont Blanc pen
A Dell Inspiron laptop
An iPhone X
A VIP holiday
Loyalty or VIP Programme
The most committed players at Temple Nile are routinely upgraded to VIP status. There are effectively four levels of VIP membership on the site – Silver, Gold, Platinum and Premium Lounge, with the final one only being accessible by invitation.
Naturally, the higher up the VIP levels you climb, the more perks and prizes you can expect. These may include, depending on which level you have reached:
A 24-hour Priority Support Service
Seasonal loyalty and birthday gifts
Private tournaments for selected customers
Private VIP events and promotions
Tailor-made offers
The above is a far-from-exclusive rundown of the benefits that could await you as a Temple Nile VIP participant, so we would advise you to check the site for the latest information.
Deposit and Withdrawal Methods
It's a straightforward enough task to add money to your account at Temple Nile – simply click the green 'Deposit Now' button in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Limit Per Deposit
MasterCard 24 hours Minimum £20
Visa 24 hours Minimum £20
Maestro 24 hours Minimum £20
SEPA Bank Transfer 24 hours Minimum £20
Skrill 24 hours Minimum £20
Entropay 24 hours Minimum £20
Paysafecard 24 hours Minimum £20
Neteller 24 hours Minimum £20
*Current as of November 2018; check Temple Nile's website for updates
Payout Policy
You will not be permitted to receive funds from your Temple Nile account until the site has completed verification checks to ensure you are who you say you are. All withdrawals are also paid back to the same payment method that you used to deposit money.
Strangely, there's no Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section to be found on the Temple Nile site, which is almost unheard-of on a casino site. However, the site does provide an email address that you can use to contact the team directly, as well as – for an even swifter response – a 'live chat' feature that you can call upon at any time of the day or night, including over the weekend.
Who Can Play?
The list of territories from which residents are not permitted to register at Temple Nile is a long one, and includes the likes of:
Temple Nile's parent company – White Hat Gaming Limited – is licensed and regulated by the following two hugely respected bodies in the online gambling sphere:
The Gambling Commission of Great Britain
The Malta Gambling Authority
Temple Nile isn't merely stunning to look at – it's also an astonishingly well-rounded and comprehensive casino site, compared to what we might have reasonably anticipated at this stage of its development.
There's scarcely a casino portal out there that can boast such a broad assortment of acclaimed software providers, while the promos, bonuses and VIP perks are similarly far-reaching. We also love the Temple Bazaar section, which presumably has much scope for expansion in the years to come.
Open an account at Temple Nile today, and you might just find there's no need for you to ever consider any alternative online gambling destination.

Drama from the streets; as real as it gets
You won't find much in the way of special effects in our films. No monsters, no aliens, no space ships, no CGI, no big budget sets from another world. Instead we have to rely on what we can find in this world: real people, real stories, real passion, real drama. That's why all the scripts have been evolved from true stories told by the actors. It's drama from the street – as real as it gets.
Our first short film Humanitas was released in 2008 to widespread acclaim. Since then we have made several short films, multi-media stage productions, a music video and an on line soap opera. We also have plans for a feature film which would showcase the unique experiences and talents of our actors.
Press Call for Help
When life closes in . . .
Our 10th year anniversary film project started with a look at several fairy tales. It was Rumpelstiltskin that caught the imagination of our actors. The themes of poverty, obsession, betrayal and exploitation all found their way into the final film script under an overriding theme of being entrapped.
Four story lines were brought together when 4 of the characters found themselves in a car park lift that breaks down causing some panic and alarm at the end of what has already been a traumatic day for each of them.
This has been another creative project from our wonderful actors in the workshops directed by Rachel Muter. It is another Acting on Impulse triumph. Watch the film and the behind the scenes documentary here.
View Trailer	Order DVD
Life's a Lottery
Win, lose or Dream
Our project this year was quite different. We explored the theme of winning the lottery – what would be their dreams? What would the impact be? The result was a series of 10 films; monologues, duologues and groups of 3 and 4. Each one revealed something about themselves. Some of the performances were very brave and spoke profoundly of the issues they have faced in life. They are very moving.
We are very proud of every single performance. Do take the time to watch each one. And the 'making of' is definitely a bit of fun. See them all at
Lifesalottery
The latest film from Acting on Impulse is a feature length film starring actors from the fortnightly programme of workshops. Few have any previous acting experience before coming to AOI.
Ed Lily joined us as script writer and co-director. His talent for drawing out stories, teaching new acting techniques and developing powerful narrative will leave you thinking about how our most vulnerable citizens are treated by society. Joe Chambers was also part of the writing team and co-director. He brought his well established relationship with the actors to a new level as he worked on group dynamics and some of the more comedic elements of the film.
The Box was filmed entirely in a Salford warehouse with an imaginative set created by designer, Tony Boffey. The film appears to be a reality TV programme – but all is not all that it seems. Do take time to watch this intriguing film. Watch how each character develops through the story.
There is an interesting twist to this tale of a group of people on the margins of society who are brought together in 'The Box'. We were grateful to actor/singer Kavana who played himself in a cameo role in the film.
David Tomlinson, crew member
The Box – Behind the Scenes
Catch a glimpse of what happened behind the scenes in Acting on Impulse's first feature length film, 'The Box'.
Created by James Statham, this documentary encapsulates in a nutshell the filming of, 'The Box'. It brings to life the reality of filming and also captures the heart of Acting on Impulse and its actors.
This film shows the care and expertise that goes into making this our most ambitious project to date
Lauren Pouchly, producer
Life after Street Life
The 'mockumentary' following up the music video characters
Acting on Impulse's 2014 project is a 'mockumentary' which follows up on the lives of the characters from the music video, 'Street Life'. Once more it is set on the streets of Manchester and features the soup van – the centre for those from the homeless community. There are four episodes. These can be seen by following the links for each episode:
No 1 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXis095HzsY
No 2 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L5ljbX2130
No 3 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THM_GtHWkW0
No 4 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaHo1QITf3w
AOI Street Life - the music video
This was another new challenge for our actors. The process was probably the most complex of any of our projects. They had to learn rhythm as well as contribute story themes, create their own characters and learn the song. It involved a full day in a recording studio followed by 3 intensive days of filming. The locations set a challenge with filming in a bus stop, on derelict sites, in graveyards, in a library, in a day centre, in car parks, in a bar etc. etc. And what a success with a live launch at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester followed by a successful launch on You Tube. You can see it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOIZx3dgA8w
This was a humorous way to explore dark subjects with a light humorous touch. Through the music video we were able to deliver a punchy and truthful message. We were very grateful to John Henshaw who took a cameo role in the extended version of the music video.
Street Life (Behind the Scenes)
This is a very telling documentary about the making of the music video, 'Street Life'. It captures comments from the actors, producer and director as well as showing some behind the scenes footage of the filming. It is a must see film. Follow the link to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu1oxL-cULA
It was so good to hear the actors own reactions to being part of the production of the music video, 'Street Life'. The whole thing gives a good idea of 3 intensive days of filming at 14 locations.
Dream on the Streets
The course of true love never runs smooth especially when sleeping rough on the streets of Manchester
This was our introduction to Shakespeare – an adaptation of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Instead of the forest of Arden, it was on the streets of Manchester. The Shakespearean language was retained and on occasion was a real challenge. This was a multi-media production with about a third of the scenes being pre-filmed. The actors pulled it off on two near full house performances in Altrincham and the Z Arts theatre in Hulme.
This has been a real challenge. Some of our actors were going through really hard times including sleeping rough at the time of the performances. Yet there were standing ovations at both performances. We are so proud of what they achieved.
Deep Within
This was a very ambitious multi-media production. The mystery drama was developed with the cast and the help of a professional writer who joined the workshops to draw out the storyline. It was a play that had something to say on several levels. It touched on issues of difference, survival and acceptance. There were film excerpts from a day centre for homeless people, a hostel for recovering alcoholics and an agency supporting homeless young adults.
This was our grittiest and most hard hitting production yet. It was entertainment that changed the actors, the crew and the audience. We are proud of what the actors achieved in this intriguing story.
'The Invitation' is the story of a bunch of hapless people attempting to get to a wedding. There are many twists and turns, but the happy couple do finally tie the knot.
This has been the most ambitious film yet with a combined film crew, cast and extras of over 100. We were so happy to include people from the Cornerstone Day Centre and Positive Lifestyles hostel as extras. We were also delighted to have Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice contributing cameo roles in the film.
New Feature Film
With two short films now out in the public domain, our next challenge is a feature film – taking these people and their stories to new levels, and increasing public understanding of the issues. Finite Productions Ltd have helped make this possible for us, and the project is now in development.
In March 2009 we were invited to perform our first live performance at a fundraising event. Devised by the actors themselves, their performance of Vanity Fair was well received, and we are now in the early stages of a future collaboration with the Royal Exchange.

The SAKURA COLLECTION Fashion Design Awards now is calling for entries!
The mission of the SAKURA COLLECTION Fashion Design Awards is to connect traditional Japanese industries and young designers to create new ideas for the future.
From 2012 to 2019, SAKURA COLLECTION held design awards under the theme of "Japan" mainly for fashion students in Asia, and these awards produced 38 grands prix.
From this year, organiser will pick a specific Japanese material as the theme to work on and the SAKURA COLLECTION FASHION DESIGN AWARDS will be reborn an international online contest without borders.
This year's theme is "Enshu Men Tsumugi", traditional textiles from Shizuoka Prefecture.
Shizuoka's traditional textiles Enshu Men Tsumugi have continued since the Edo period (1603-1868). Honoring tradition, the yarn is dyed in colors that evoke images of Japan's four distinct seasons, and the fabric is still woven carefully on traditional looms at no more than 40 meters/day to ensure it is incredibly soft to touch. During the Meiji period (1868-1912), inspired by the demand for such soft and exceptional fabric, the city of Hamamatsu saw the introduction of the power loom and its textile industry formed an industrial base that includes the Toyota and Suzuki motor companies and instrument manufacturer, Yamaha, while it remains one of Japan's three largest textile production areas to this day.
➜ You can submit design of women's wear, men's wear or children's wear using Enshu Men Tsumugi.
➜ It is possible to design by combining the Enshu Men Tsumugi and another material or by combining multiple types of Enshu Men Tsumugi. If using a combination with another material please specify the material(s) used. You need to specify the required length of Enshu Men Tsumugi for the work.
➜ a portfolio summarizing past creations.
➜ Please prepare the application documents in Japanese or English.
The winners will be announced on March 2021.
This competition is open to fashion design students or non-professional designers over the world. Group applications are also possible.

One new Position Statement and changes
to IASB Belief Statements now posted online
Voting at the 2018 Delegate Assembly
established a new Position Statement,
and changed IASB Belief Statements.
Association member districts approved one new Position Statement and added an additional Belief Statement in voting at last year's Delegate Assembly. They also amended two previous IASB Belief Statements, with all the changes effective at the beginning of 2019. All of the additions and changes are contained in the updated IASB Position Statements and Belief Statements now available online.
IASB Position Statements give member school districts the opportunity to establish Association positions on legislation and related matters of public policy. The position statements help craft legislative priorities for IASB and provide guidance on issues under consideration by the General Assembly.
The most recent addition to IASB Position Statements would allow school districts to approve funds, without going to referendum, for the purchase and installation of energy-saving equipment relating to utility usage. Position Statement 2.55, Energy Savings and Borrowing, states:
The Illinois Association of School Boards shall recommend to the legislature that a bill be passed that allows districts to borrow or otherwise obtain money without referendum for the sole and specific purpose of purchasing and installing energy saving equipment relating to the utility usage (water, gas and electricity).
The newest Belief Statement to be adopted involves the safety and security of students and staff. Belief Statement 16 reads:
The Illinois Association of School Boards believes that schools should provide a safe and secure environment for all students and staff. Decisions of school safety drills, plans, and procedures should be made at the local level, utilizing evidence-based practices that maximize resources and effectiveness, and by soliciting input from local emergency responders resulting in fewer physical, emotional, and psychological risks to students and staff.
Two Belief Statements were amended. Belief Statement 5 added language to encourage state and federal investment of comprehensive mental health resources, while Belief Statement 2 was amended to include language on the importance of student voter registration.
IASB Belief Statements constitute the Association's stance on important philosophical issues that, while not directly focused on the governance of local school districts, still represent important, worthwhile objectives.
While all the new and updated Position Statements and Belief Statements are available online, member districts will also be mailed a copy of the 2019 IASB Constitution and Position Statements in January.

Please write to IMBA and share YOUR OPINION about Wilderness
The San Gabriel Mountains
It's time for MWBA members to swap our trail work hard hats for our advocacy caps. You need to speak up. IMBA needs to hear your opinion. Your voice matters.
For the first time in many years, there is a divide in the mountain biking community. Two respectable mountain bike advocacy organizations are not seeing eye to eye for mountain bike access in Wilderness areas. Sustainable Trails Coalition (STC) and International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) shared different strategies on Wilderness and this has been the topic of discussion at meetings, conference calls, trailheads, and bike shops.
As an IMBA chapter, the Mount Wilson Bicycling Association has been vocal about what IMBA should be doing on behalf of its membership. MWBA strongly feels that IMBA should support STC and the two organizations need to work together. We have raised our voices to IMBA leadership and have requested a formal survey to ensure that their Advocacy Plan is aligned with their members views. We are encouraged to hear that IMBA listened to our feedback and is now working on such a survey. Stay tuned and stay a member to be included in the upcoming survey.
Our MWBA board believes there is space for multiple mountain bike advocacy organizations. We must all stand together, as a united front, to protect and restore mountain bike access.
Below are a number of website articles about this issue. We encourage you to read with an open mind and form your individual opinion.

What are your thoughts? Please take a moment to share your opinion with IMBA about mountain biking in Wilderness areas. Make your voice heard. YOU really can make a difference.
We sent a letter similar to the sample below to IMBA President, Mike Van Abel. Feel free to copy and paste, add your own flavor or start from scratch in your own words, and send him an email.
Dear Mike,
I write to you as a mountain biker and a member of the MWBA organization regarding IMBA's public position to not support STC's decision to lobby Congress to alter the Wilderness Act to allow for local land managers to determine if bicycles should be permitted.
I believe the strategy currently employed by STC is the most direct and a good course of action of furthering our goal of gaining/not losing our access to the trails. I urge IMBA to stand in solidarity with STC and represent the wishes of the mountain biking community at large and their respective IMBA chapters. I am concerned that IMBA's lack of public support for STC will only divide our community and make our voices ineffective to not only the organizations IMBA is currently trying to maintain good relations with e.g. The Wilderness Society and The Sierra Club, but also to the law makers.
Though greatly appreciated, I believe that fighting the fires that pop up across the country is not the most effective way for IMBA to advocate on our behalf. I urge IMBA to listen to its constituents and advocate on behalf of them, by being inclusive of the efforts put forth by organizations such as STC to increase our chances of access in areas that are appropriate for mountain bikers.
I urge IMBA to send a clear and unified message that the mountain bike community is organized and united, by supporting STC's goals.

Todd, appreciate your thoughts and perspective on the IMBA/STC happenings. It's nice we have a forum to be able to exchange ideas and express ourselves. In that spirit, allow me to clarify a point. STC's goal is to have the local land agencies determine whether or not it's appropriate for bikes to be on lands that are designated Wilderness and not have it be a blanket mandate nor a blanket permit. That simply doesn't make sense; there are some areas where it's not appropriate for us, but there are other areas where we are not allowed and it's only because of the designation, not because we don't belong there.
We are not encouraging anyone to speak ill of IMBA or STC, in fact, just the opposite. We are asking our community rally together as a unified front so that we make everyone's stance stronger. If IMBA wants to focus on future Wilderness areas only, then they are still going to need the community to stand in solidarity. Ditto with STC.
We can agree to disagree on the finer details, but let's all agree that we need to work together.
Apr 2, 2016 / 8:50 am
Perhaps this should be your letter to IMBA
Dear Mike
Thank you for supporting the original Wilderness Act by not trying to change it.
It's clear that when the original Act states "no other form of mechanical transport"
under its list of prohibited uses, that bikes truly are banned from the Wilderness.
In this era where big Oil, Timber and Mining interests are continually trying to
undermine environmental standards, opening up the Wilderness Act for
mountain biking will also open the door for the weakening of the Act.
It is great that IMBA has seen through all the misinformation that the Sustainable
Trails Coalition is spewing. STC says that bicycles were never meant to be banned
in the original Wilderness Act. But, yet STC has never found any quote from the writers
of the Wilderness Act that supports having bikes in the Wilderness. All the
STC is doing is basing their opinions on circumstantial evidence, and not very good
circumstantial evidence. For instance, Ted Stroll of STC says that if fishing reels are
allowed in Wilderness Areas, then so should mountain bikes. The reason is that
fishing reels are "mechanical transport" because they transport fishing line out into
the water. To me there is a big difference between transporting fishing line and transporting
a person. With logic like that, is it any wonder why IMBA is not supporting STC's efforts?
Other IMBA Chapters like the Roaring Fork Mountain Biking Association in Colorado have
spoken out against STC's proposal of having mountain bikes in the Wilderness. Here is a
quote from an article that Mike Pritchard, Executive Director of RFMBA did with the Aspen
"Pritchard said there are plenty of access issues for him to work on without targeting wilderness areas.
The Roaring Fork Mountain Biking Association board of directors did discuss the Sustainable Trails Coalition
proposal at a recent meeting. "Nobody has gotten riled up over it," he said. That includes members he has spoken with.
Many mountain bikers also are hikers and backpackers, he said, and they appreciate
wilderness for its solitude and lack of motorized and mechanized travel."
It's great that IMBA is concentrating on making great trail systems where they are really needed
instead of advocating mountain biking out in the middle of nowhere. With the limited amount
of resources it is better to make mountain biking available to people living in the cities, suburbs
and towns than it is having it where there are very few people living.
So, I thank IMBA for all their great efforts in this area. It is great that IMBA was able to keep several
trails out of the Federal Wilderness, by getting the boundaries moved. Now, mountain bikers who ride
the Bowery Loop in Idaho will forever have the scenery wild because there is designated Wilderness
next to most of that trail.
Thank you, Todd McMahon

Why in our fear of not praying as we should, do we turn to so many things, to find what we should pray for? Why do we not say instead, in the words of the psalm: I have asked one thing from the Lord, this is what I will seek: to dwell in the Lord's house all the days of my life, to see the graciousness of the Lord, and to visit his temple. There, the days do not come and go in succession, and the beginning of one day does not mean the end of another; all days are one, simultaneously and without end, and the life lived out in these days has itself no end. So that we might obtain this life of happiness, he who is true life itself taught us to pray, not in many words as though speaking longer could gain us a hearing. After all, we pray to one who, as the Lord himself tells us, knows what we need before we ask for it.


It is an open secret that the dating sites for singles are widely used in these latter days. What are the motives for it? In the reality, it is extremely difficult to show all the capabilities of Internet dating sites taking into consideration the fact that there are manifold of them. On top of that, it is of critical importance to know how to give prominence to the unbeatable interracial dating sites on the grounds that if to pay respect to the great selection of dating sites for singles it is complicated to meet a proper solution. Consequently, we took a resolution to help you and overview the possibilities of dating sites and to tell you in what way to pick the most qualified dating services.
Broad-ranging users claim that in virtue of the dating services they get the unique chance to save plenty of time. And it is difficult to argue with it for the reason that the international dating sites really save your time: you single out the person and converse with him.
Their benefit is that you do not need to pay the extra money for it. You do not buy flowers and do not go to the cafes. On the other side, most often, the Internet dating sites are not free but normally, they are affordable.
If to focus your attention on impressions of users about differing interracial dating sites, you will see that as a matter of course, they are positive.
Numerous utilizers claim that the mail order bride has various merits. It has improved the lives of varied people. Users also like that as a rule, they are simple. So, you will not need any special tutorials for utilizing the serious dating sites.
You must choose the dating services where you see varied profiles. This will mean that it is famous and has different odds. And so, do not pick not renowned for the reason that you will have fewer chances to find a partner.
In spite of the fact that in these modern days there are various serious dating sites, /vietnam-cupid/ it is still intricate to decide on the best one. More than that, not all of them are really able to help you to pick love. Not giving heed to the fact that the international dating sites can seem unserious, you risk having great problems on the assumption that you select the dishonest dating websites. On the whole, we will tell you in what way to choose the most qualified dating sites.
Turn attention to the fact that the international dating sites should not be sumptuous. The most high-priced dating services are not always the flawless ones. On the contrary, we want you not to choose the cheapest date sites insomuch as they will not guarantee that you will come across no problems.
It is highly recommended to find the date sites which check the profiles of people in advance of their registration. It is not secret that they cannot check everybody in a perfect way, but still, they should take at least some safety features.
All in all, it is the accomplished fact that the international dating sites are effective for picking a partner. However, you have to be careful while picking the ideal dating sites wherethrough not all of them can boast of broad-ranging odds and guarantee your safety.

Scoop: Why did LiLo relapse after stint in rehab?
After claiming that jail and rehab were a life-changing wake-up call, why did Lindsay Lohan return to her old ways? Though she may have thrown away her last chance to salvage her career by failing two drug tests, which violated her probation, a friend said she's only using drugs because she's "bored."
"When she first got out of rehab, she took it seriously. She didn't want to do drugs or get back into that lifestyle," a friend told Fox411.com. "But then, she had all these people around her who were doing drugs in front of her, and that's when she slipped."
"A few weeks ago, I saw Lindsay out, and she was in a weird state of mind," the pal said. "It was terrible. She wasn't her fresh self like when she first got out of rehab. It was like she didn't care anymore."
TMZ reported that the "Machete" star failed two tests — one for cocaine and one for amphetamines. She'll appear in court Friday, when a judge will decide whether she goes back to jail. If she does, her upcoming "Inferno" shoot could very well be jeopardized — and with it her chances of ever being insured for a movie again.
After admitting that she failed a test, LiLo tweeted, "Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away overnight. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day."
But, her friend said, "Lindsay does drugs because she's bored. The only reason she's fessing up about her drug use on Twitter now is because she knows that she has 'friends' that will sell her out. People have seen her doing the drugs."
Clearly, Lindsay needs to take responsibility for her own actions. Yet, these so-called "friends" sure aren't doing her any favors.
Forgiving for Gettys
Balthazar Getty is opening up about his affair with Sienna Miller — and, surprisingly, so is his wife. After the "Brothers and Sisters" star had a dalliance with the blond starlet, he returned to Rosetta, the mother of his four children, and she forgave him.
"Here's the bottom line: It was a very challenging time for everybody involved, but I loved and missed my family too much not to make it work," the actor told Harper's Bazaar magazine. "Rosetta is understanding enough and spiritual enough to let us try. In a way … I feel like we're better than we've ever been."
"I'm open to talking about it because I believe we go through things in a public way to help other people get through it. I'd love to talk about it more with people when I'm clearer about it," said Rosetta, who's been married to Balthazar for 10 years. "I'm going to have to explain this to my daughters one day. I chose not to act from ego because I just felt like it would be too crushing for my children."
Well, that's big of her. We're not sure we could get past seeing those pics of Balthazar groping a topless Sienna, but that's just us.
Paris the Prisoner?
Paris Hilton may have avoided jail with her recent plea deal to a cocaine-possession charge, but she did just find herself in a form of confinement after flying to Japan.
After the judge handed down a sentence of probation, the heiress hopped a plane overseas to fulfill a long-standing promotional obligation — but was detained at her hotel by immigration authorities, who bar people with recent drug convictions from entering the country.
Oh, the humanity! Imagine — trapped in her hotel! Hasn't Paris suffered enough?

Twitter just rolled out a pretty nice two-factor authentication system using your smart phone as the second factor: The new two-factor system works like this. A user enrolls using the mobile app, which generates a 2048-bit RSA keypair. The private key lives on the phone itself, and the public key is uploaded to Twitter When Twitter receives a new login request with a username and password, the server sends a challenge based on a 190-bit, 32 character random nonce, to the mobile app -- along with a notification that gives the user the time, location, and browser information associated with the login request. The user can then opt to approve or deny this login request. If approved, the app replies to a challenge with its private key, relays that information back to the server. The server compares that challenge with a request ID, and if it authenticates, the user is automatically logged in.


On May 2, 2017, at 1528 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-32-260 airplane, N3457W, struck power transmission cables and traffic lights and collided with the ground in Mukilteo, Washington, after a partial loss of engine power during the initial climb from Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field), Everett, Washington. The private pilot was not injured, the passenger received minor injuries. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The airplane was registered to Klamath Aviation LLC., and operated by the pilot as a personal cross-country flight under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. The flight was originating at the time and destined for Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport, Klamath Falls, Oregon.
The pilot stated that he had just serviced the airplane with aviation gasoline prior to takeoff and filled the main tanks to the "tabs", and both tip tanks to capacity. He performed a preflight airplane walk around and checked the fuel for contamination at the sump drains. No anomalies were noted, and he boarded the airplane, sitting in the left seat. Due to a Boeing 787 airplane performing tests at the arrival end of runway 16R, the pilot accepted an intersection departure from runway 16R, at taxiway A4 (with about 5,600 ft of runway remaining). He taxied to the runup area adjacent to the intersection, and performed pre-takeoff checks, and an engine runup. He stated that all systems were normal, including both the magneto and carburetor heat checks, and after turning on the auxiliary fuel pump and confirming the fuel selector valve was set to the right tip tank, he taxied onto the runway and began the departure roll. Surveillance video from the air traffic control tower revealed that the airplane was in the runup area for about 3 minutes and began the takeoff roll about 30 seconds later.
The pilot stated that the airplane accelerated appropriately, and he initiated a rotation at 80 mph. The airplane lifted off and continued to accelerate to 90 mph during the initial climb. The air traffic controller requested that the pilot perform a right turn when able, due to departing traffic behind, and as soon as the pilot began to initiate the turn, the engine lost power.
The pilot estimated that the power loss occurred at an altitude of about 400 ft agl, and the airplane was not able to maintain altitude. He declared an emergency and checked both the fuel selector valve and fuel mixture positions and confirmed the engine primer was in and locked. With limited time to troubleshoot, he turned his attention to performing a forced landing. During the descent he noticed the engine appeared to be producing partial power, and the propeller continued to turn at 400 to 500 rpm.
He observed an area of swamps and tall trees directly ahead, and to his right a busy six-lane road, running north-south. He could see to the right an east-west oriented road, which was free of traffic in the westbound lane. He maneuvered the airplane for landing in this lane, and as he approached, the right wing stuck a power transmission cable. Both wingtips then struck separate traffic lights, rupturing the tip tanks, and spraying ignited fuel over cars waiting at the intersection below. The airplane then collided with the ground and came to rest on the street.
A witness, who was positioned in his automobile at an intersection adjoining the runway, reported that his attention was drawn to the airplane during takeoff, because it was emitting bursts of visible "exhaust". He stated that he was familiar with aircraft traffic and was drawn to look at the airplane because the exhaust trail was not a normal occurrence.
The airplane was manufactured in 1966 and purchased by the pilot and passenger (who were the sole members of Klamath Aviation LLC.) on November 15, 2016.
The most recent maintenance event was for an annual inspection, which was completed on September 21, 2016, at a total airframe time of 5,766.32 flight hours. At the time of inspection, the engine had accrued 567.42 flight hours since overhaul in September 1997.
A special aviation routine weather report for Paine Field was issued at 1549. It included wind from 210° at 3 knots, with a temperature of 15° C, and a dew point of 9° C.
The carburetor icing probability chart from the FAA Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin CE-09-35 "Carburetor Icing Prevention", indicates a probability of serious icing at cruise power for the reported temperature and dew point.
Runway 16R is 9,010 ft long and 150 ft wide, composed of grooved asphalt and concrete, and is at an elevation of 608 ft mean sea level.
The airplane came to rest on a west heading on the street about 2,200 ft beyond the end of runway 16R, and 10° right of the runway centerline. The main cabin and left wing were largely intact. The horizontal stabilizer had detached, leaving the vertical stabilizer partially attached to the tailcone. The right wing had folded up about 45° at the root, and its main fuel tank had been breached.
An FAA inspector who responded to the accident site stated that shortly after his arrival he checked the left main fuel tank, which was the only unbreeched tank, and found that it contained fuel. He then removed the carburetor bowl drain plug, and fuel drained from the bowl.
The airplane was recovered from the accident site and examined by the NTSB investigator-in-charge, inspectors from the FAA, and technical representatives from Lycoming Engines and Piper Aircraft. Complete examination reports are contained within the public docket, the following is a summary of the findings.
All fuel lines and fittings were intact from the fuel tanks through to the carburetor, and there were no indications of a fuel leak. The fuel selector bowl contained about 1/4 cup of clean, bright, light-blue colored fuel. The fuel selector valve moved freely through its range, and the detents were positive. The fuel from the bowl was tested with water detecting paste, and no water was found.
The engine sustained minimal damage and remained partially attached to the firewall, with the upper left engine mount broken. The propeller was still attached to the crankshaft, and both blades exhibited about 360° of tip curl, with chordwise scratches present on the curled sections. One blade tip had detached, leaving a jagged separation surface. The dipstick indicated the engine contained 6 quarts of oil.
The top and bottom spark plugs were all Champion REM 38E types, which were appropriate for the engine application. The plugs exhibited normal wear signatures consistent with short service life when compared to the Champion AV-27 check-a-plug chart. The electrodes of the top plugs for cylinders 1 through 4 were dark grey in color. All remaining plug electrodes were coated in dark grey/black soot corresponding to "carbon fouled" as denoted on the Champion chart.
The engine was readied for a test-run by removal of the airbox (which was crushed on impact) and replacement of the propeller. Fuel recovered from the airplanes left wing main tank was used for the test and fed from a cannister connected to the right tip tank fuel line at the wing root. (Both wings were removed during aircraft recovery).
After two cranking attempts, the engine started, and was operated for about 4 minutes at speeds varying from 700 to 2,500 rpm. The engine operated smoothly throughout; each magneto indicated a 100 rpm drop when tested at 1,500 rpm, and the engine speed responded to adjustments of the propeller and throttle controls. Following the run, the top spark plugs were removed. The black soot was gone, replaced with dark grey coloration.
The carburetor and both magnetos were removed and examined at an overhaul facility.
Both magnetos were tested in a magneto test stand and produced sparks in firing order throughout their operating speed range.
Maintenance records indicated that the carburetor was installed in 1997, coincident to the engine overhaul. No other carburetor-related maintenance entry was found beyond the replacement of the sump plug in 2006, and the repair and removal of the carburetor inlet air box.
The carburetor appeared undamaged, and all fittings were intact. The fuel inlet screen was clear, and the throttle and mixture control arms could be moved freely.
All carburetor bowl screws were secure and tight, and remained affixed with a lock-tab washer. There was no evidence of fuel leak or discoloration at the interface between the body and bowl. The carburetor bowl was separated to facilitate internal examination, revealing a brass float. The float assembly was intact, and the clearance from the throttle body to bowl gasket and float was measured and fell within the tolerance described in the service manual.
The float-to-bowl clearance was then measured in accordance with the service manual and found to be out of tolerance. Rub marks were present in multiple locations on the inner surface of the bowl walls, indicative of float contact. Removal of the float revealed that it was slightly twisted, with one side resting 1/16th inch above the other at its tip. The float was then tested for leaks, and none were found.
Service Bulletin SB-4 Rev. B, published by Volare Carburetors, LLC, on September 2, 2009, documented reports of stuck, leaking, and/or worn floats when the float-to-bowl clearance value was not correct. The bulletin encompassed MA series carburetors manufactured by Volare, Precision Airmotive, and Marvel-Schebler, and recommended either measuring the clearance immediately should symptoms exist, or within 100 flight hours or 90 days (which ever came first). The bulletin required the replacement of the floats if the tolerance was not met, then stamping of "FC" on the mounting flange adjacent to the throttle shaft. No logbook entry was found indicating this bulletin had been complied with, nor was there any evidence of "FC" being stamped on the flange.
White thread sealant compound was found on multiple fittings and bolt threads throughout the carburetor, including the inlet filter screen. Service Bulletin: SB-10 Rev B, published August 12, 2010, by Marvel-Schebler, describes the unauthorized use of such sealant. The service bulletin states that thread sealant should not be used on any carburetor component, as it has been found to break away and clog internal fuel passages. The service bulletin calls for immediate overhaul if any traces of sealant are observed.
Service Bulletin MSA-3, revision 1, published by Precision Airmotive on November 18, 1991 describes the overhaul periods for MA series float-type carburetors. The bulletin recommended replacement of all carburetors within 10 years of their placement into service.
A fuel receipt provided by a fixed based operator at Paine Field revealed that the airplane was serviced with the addition of 41.2 gallons of 100 octane low-lead aviation gasoline about 30 minutes before the accident. The manager of the facility stated that two other aircraft purchased fuel immediately after the accident airplane, and neither reported issues. He also checked the fuel storage and delivery system for water contamination and found none.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. NTSB investigators may have traveled in support of this investigation and used data provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.
On May 2, 2017, at 1529 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-32-260 airplane, N3457W, struck powerlines and traffic lights, and collided with the ground in Mukilteo, Washington, after a loss of engine power during takeoff from Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field).

Today I want to share more photos from Jeannette's photo session in Maastricht.
Jeannette wanted to give herself a special birthday present: an artistic photo session. Being an adventurous spirit inspired by nature, Jeannette thought of an outdoor location. She grew up and lives in Maastricht and enjoys the beautiful nature of South Limburg. That made our choice of location easy: Pietersplas, a nature resort on the Maas next to the Maastricht Marina.
There is a new type of a photo session that I'm offering and would love to announce: A Day in the Life reportage.
The underlying idea is story-telling, documenting the typical and therefore precious moments of a family, kids or a couple. It is about their lifestyle, their connection and interaction in their preferred environment on a relaxed or active day together. Such extended photo session would typically last some 4 hours. During that time life goes on its natural way. There is no posing and the photographer can be unobtrusive, capturing special moments and expressions in a semi-candid, often journalistic, style.
Portraits and artworks on the walls make a great difference when it comes to the atmosphere and psychological comfort you feel in a room. A room with naked walls would lack personal touch even when filled with design furniture. And a single image (of course, I am not talking about mass production here) can turn a boring home into a stylish one.
Some time ago we have talked about decorating your walls with photography. There are several ways of arranging photos (and other wall art) in a pleasing and coordinated way. It's about balance and composition: depending on your taste and the room's interior you may choose symmetric, asymmetric or eclectic approach.
When you plan to put a photo or a grouping of photos on a wall a question often arises: what kind of material and framing to use? Shall you have the photographs printed, matted and framed or do you prefer unframed photos mounted on canvas, aluminium (dibond) or plexiglas (acrylic)? There are several factors to consider here when you make this choice.
You have found the right photographer and booked a photo session.
Some photographers may offer you a consultation prior to the photo session. This could be very helpful – you'd learn more about how your photo session will look like, what to expect and to pay attention to. Think about organizational moments, styling and accessories, hair and makeup, and more.
Here are some tips and points of attention.
Having loads of photos on our computers is everyday reality. But beautiful professional portraits and artistic images deserve not just virtual, but also physical life – on your walls and in unique albums.
Are you happy with your wall design, or is there something to improve or update?
Why leave your walls blank or fill them with IKEA mass production pictures? Personalized wall art can add style and a design twist to your interior. Not to mention positive emotion and inspiration filling your home!
There are various ways of presenting photographs (but also paintings, objects, etc.) on the wall. You can use a symmetric or an asymmetric design or choose and eclectic approach.
Symmetric wall art presentation is pleasing for the eye. It can be simple or sophisticated, but is more "intentional" and gives you an orderly feeling. This is great not only for those who prefer clean classic lines and love order by nature. It can also be a manner of bringing more order and balance into a chaotic environment!
Yes, I am talking about professional portraits. Much like diamonds, they are forever and are girl's best friends when it comes to self-confidence and other wonderful feelings they can give you (and not just you).
I believe that every woman should have special, beautiful and highly personal portraits of herself taken. Whether you know you are stunning, or you not so sure about that, there are serious reasons to do this. Let me sketch the three main scenarios for you: I think they would fit different images that ladies have of themselves.
You are pretty – or even beautiful. It is a fact that nobody can deny and you know it.
You know you can look gorgeous but this takes some effort. In daily life you have no time or no desire to work on your stunning looks.
You think that great looks is probably not the strongest side of your personality.
If you are confident of your charms, then you have probably already realized that you should not limit yourself to holiday and party photos alone. Think of the paparazzi images of the celebrities. Don't they look way better during a dedicated photo session with the right light, setting and moment? Of course they do! The difference between your portraits taken professionally as compared to snapshots will be no less drastic.
You normally wait for a special occasion to present yourself in a stunning way. But what and when are these occasions? Whether you organize a party yourself of go out with friends – it is not about you personally. Events are by their very nature about a group of people. Once in a while you would require a special moment, a different kind of holiday just for yourself – a personal, dedicated photo session that's all about bringing out your special powers of beauty and charm. I will help you to feature your inner diva, a star living inside of you!
You are probably too critical of yourself. If you do not look like a Barbie doll or like a copy of Angelina Jolie, this does not mean you are not beautiful in your own way. Beauty does come from inside. Be yourself and enjoy it – and you will look great. A portrait session with a professional photographer who gives you enough time and pays you real attention will help you find the beauty that remains unnoticed in mere snapshots or in a standard studio setting.
I do believe it and prove it all the time!
If you choose for custom photography, you can have your beauty captured in a natural way, so that you can be yourself. Portraits with a fashion twist or even a Hollywood touch are not an everyday sort of photography – yet, you can still look natural on them. The setting of the photo session and you being yourself make all the difference!
It is essential to have artistic portraits of yourself. They can help you discover more about yourself and are so important for those who love you!

Most people realise the necessity of children photography and are ready to document important events. Yet, the idea of a personal photo shoot often makes one shy.
A professional photo session is not something that we do on a daily basis: at least most of us don't. It sounds exciting because of the quality results and fine experience it should bring. We all crave to be valued and understood. We also may – secretly or not so secretly – want to try out how it feels to be a star, a model, the center of attention for just one hour. Who would not like to have images of him- or herself that show how beautiful and bright, interesting and unique you are? Good professional portraits make people stop by and enjoy looking at you.
Professional portrait photography is a necessity for an artist but reallife people need it just as much.
Yet a professional photo shoot may appear frightening at the same time. One is usually held back by the two main considerations.
It is the task of the photographer to help you relax and have fun. A photographer with a good eye will find the right angles and moments to capture. A photographer with empathy will also feel your own style and charm and will reveal them in images. I photograph people on location. That means that I come to you or meet you at some special place so that you can have time and possibility to relax and distract from your worries, as well as to change outfits. Moreover, I offer a satisfaction guarantee, so your portrait session is risk free!
What about looking like a royalty?
Fear No. 2: Do I dare?
Doesn't a portrait session mean that I am thinking too much about myself? Am I allowed to invest in myself?
This fear is really about one's self-esteem. Professional portraiture is not some forbidden fruit. You are a unique person and deserve artistic images that show who you are. You also deserve the experience of being a star. It is not just 15 minutes of fame: the results will be visible, tangible, and sharable. You can share your images with the people that are important to you. You can give your portrait or photo album as a gift: what could be more personal? It will not make you look selfish but prove that you care about your loved ones. You do not think about it now, but professional portraits – if you go for them – will be cherished by your grandchildren.
Letting people encounter themselves can be a very positive experience both for my models and for me, and this is my biggest motivation as a portrait photographer.
I am curious to hear your thoughts about having a professional photo shoot. And, of course, I will be happy to hear from you if you have any questions about my sessions!

For guests arriving with their own vehicle, there is private, on-site parking that is complimentary.
The Tall Trees is a pet friendly property and we do not have any size restrictions for your pets. Prince Rupert is a very dog friendly town with lots of hiking opportunities - so don't let your furry loved ones miss out.


Before your organization decides to initiate a capital campaign, the first step is to conduct a feasibility study. A feasibility study will give leadership a better understanding of the external financial opportunities that exist to fund a successful campaign. It will also highlight issues that may exist, either internal or external, which need to be addressed prior to starting a campaign. Additionally, an advancement assessment also helps determine the level of internal readiness to conduct a successful capital campaign. It is important to understand some of the more important feasibility study roles in order to be successful.
Conducting the study is a time-consuming, yet important process. Ensuring the right people are in place and have enough dedicated time to conduct the study is critical. While there are experts to assist in this, if you choose to do this in-house, which we DO NOT recommend, we have outlined the feasibility study roles and responsibilities your organization will need to define to produce a successful study. The most obvious reason not to conduct a feasibility study with in-house interviewers is that your interviewees may be less inclined to be as open and forthcoming with information if they're speaking directly with a representative of the organization they're critiquing!
Your organization will need at least one full-time person to act as the feasibility study coordinator who can devote all their time and resources to the 4-5 month study period. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON! It is not advisable to have this person, if currently on staff, maintain their current workload in addition to handling feasibility study coordinator duties. There is not enough time in the day to do both. The quality and validity of your feasibility study will depend greatly on the selected interviewees. Therefore, unless this person can devote all their time and energy to scheduling the right interviewees, your results will suffer.
Need additional help or have questions? Feel free to give us a call or contact our office.
