Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz on the Issues
Viganò testimony
Not enough evidence collected on this issue
On April 8, 2016, Bishop Kurtz issued a generic statement about how he "joyfully" welcomes Amoris Laetitia, describing it as a "love letter" inviting Catholics to "enter more deeply" into the beauty of marriage and Christ's teaching. Saying nothing about communion for divorced and remarried Catholics, Kurtz went on to encourage Catholics to "reflect" on how the document "can be applied in our lives." (USCCB)
Pro-life leadership
Unclear on the Church's pro-life teachings
While overseeing the Diocese of Memphis, Archbishop Kurtz released a statement alongside other Tennessee bishops stating that it would not be "prudent" to support the heartbeat bill in Tennessee. While he supported the "intention" of the bill, Kurtz said he did not support the bill "knowing the certainty of its overturning when challenged" and because of "the court-ordered fees that would be paid to pro-abortion plaintiffs." (Tennessean)
Archbishop Kurtz participated in both the 2015 annual March for Life in Washington D.C. and the Mass for Life prior to the march. (Archdiocese of Louisville)
In 2013, Archbishop Kurtz wrote an article promoting the sanctity of life. Kurtz stated that "the deliberate destruction of unborn children at their most vulnerable stage is a travesty." Abortion, according to Kurtz, is "a violent response that does not serve women, children, families, or the common good." (Archdiocese of Louisville)
After the Boy Scouts of America decided to accept openly gay men as leaders, Archbishop Kurtz's achdiocese issued a letter requiring Scout leaders to "adhere to the bishop's teaching on sexuality." This requirement was upheld when an openly gay man was denied a leadership role in a troop sponsored by a Catholic Church in Kurtz's archdiocese. (New Ways Ministry)
In a 2015 article, Archbishop Kurtz denounced the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex "marriage" as a "tragic error." Kurtz wrote that the Church teaches, "unambiguously that from the beginning marriage is the lifelong union of one man and one woman." The Church holds this position, not to "demean any person," but because of its "concern for the common good and the good of all." (Archdiocese of Louisville)
Archbishop Kurtz said the Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex "marriage" in 2015 was a "tragic error" that harms the common good and the most vulnerable. (USCCB)
Abortion politics
"LGBT" ideology
Archbishop Kurtz was one of the chief signatories of an open letter defending Church teaching on men and women and their differences. The letter, titled "Created Male and Female," was released on December 15, 2017 and signed by leaders of various Christian denominations. Kurtz was chairman of the USCCB's committee for religious liberty at the time. (USCCB)
In August 2015, the Archdiocese of Louisville became the first diocese in the country to reject a homosexual man's application to be a Boy Scout Leader. (LifeSiteNews)
In 2019, Archbishop Kurtz spoke out in approval for Kentucky House Bill 205 which would implement a private school scholarship tax credit program. Kurtz argued that this bill would allow all students, regardless of their financial situation, the ability to attend non-public schools. Kurtz wrote that he believes this bill would empower parents to play an influential role in their child's education. (Courier Journal)

What Will You Say When Our Headhunters In Milwaukee Call?
You may be caught off guard if you aren't actively looking for a new job and one of our headhunters in Milwaukee calls. If you're working somewhere you like and your job is satisfying, your first thought may be to tell us, "No thanks, I'm fine where I am," but avoid the temptation if you can. In an uncertain economy, it's always best to keep an open mind, particularly when it comes to employment. If you're willing to listen, you may discover that there are opportunities you didn't know existed. If you're willing to give us a few moments of your time now, we'll do our best for you down the road.
You may be happy where you are; if that's the case, you don't need to listen to a lengthy pitch from one of our headhunters in Milwaukee. You should, however, be willing to listen for five or ten minutes. If you give us a few moments of your time now, we'll remember you when you decide it's the right to start searching for a new position. We're always ready to help an experienced executive when he or she contacts one of our headhunters to discuss possible options. When downsizing, mergers, buy-outs or flagging sales unexpectedly turn your once-secure position into the search for brighter opportunities, we'll be able to help. But if we call you at the office, let us know right away and give us an alternative number so that we can talk freely without jeopardizing your current position.
Milwaukee headhunters don't all have the same recruiting style. If you're open to new opportunities, make sure you understand what the person you're talking to is really interested in. Did they get your name as a reference for someone they're vetting? Is it a cold caller hoping you're willing to take a chance? Have they mentioned a specific position they're trying to fill? Ask about details so that you can determine whether it's a genuine offer for a particular executive position or an exercise in swelling the headhunter's database of qualified leads. You should be able to quickly determine how serious headhunters in Milwaukee are about offering you a specific opportunity.
If you've determined that one of our headhunters in Milwaukee is interested in you for a position that you'd like to apply for, start asking relevant questions. Clearly outlining your salary expectations as well as any benefits you expect to receive can save both parties from wasting each other's time. Perks such as a 401K, relocation packages, pensions and health insurance are all important facets of any executive job opportunity and reliable headhunters from the Lawler Group can give you answers to your questions. In return, we hope you'll provide us accurate information about your current position. Embroidering your past accomplishments or padding your salary only hurts you in the long run and could result in termination from your next job.
If the position we're recruiting for isn't a good fit for you, speak up. We'll appreciate your honesty and keep your talents in mind in case a different executive position opens up that is better suited to your needs. If you give us a strong lead for the current position, such as the name of a colleague who is looking for a better opportunity, you'll not only be helping us, you'll be helping your colleague. One caveat to keep in mind, however, is that you should never risk your current position by giving away too much information. Remember, you don't want to decimate your own company. Keep the lines of communication open and remember to thank headhunters in Milwaukee for the opportunity to hear more about the position you were contacted about.
Cementing a positive relationship with the Lawler Group's headhunters now could lead to an executive position a few months or even years down the road when you'll be ready to move up the ladder.
Contact us today if your firm needs help filling an executive position, or check out our available jobs listing if you're interested in opportunities.


Example: We provide systems engineering services to the defense department and military contractors.
Verdict: Not so good. Systems engineering is a vague definition that omits any discussion of specific key deliverables, benefits to the customer, or differentiation from competitors who make the same claim. While initially the focus sounds direct, it lacks focus and implies a broad range of services, which in turn degrades the credibility. Few small companies are experts in meeting all of the needs associated with the defense industry. An improved mission statement would ditch the words "system engineering services" and replace them with something more specific such as "logistics," "satellite imaging," or "simulation modeling." The reworked mission statement would also more clearly define the customer, which might be the Air Force or more specifically the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization.
Example: We provide unique application engineering, communications, and systems integration services to federal civilian agencies, departments of the armed forces, and commercial customers with needs in aviation command and control, avionics, and guidance systems.
Verdict: Pretty good. When "unique" is not defined, it leaves room to question credibility and begs for specifics. A very direct focus at both customer and product or service offering, albeit at a broad level, is needed. It would be better if more limited (i.e. to guidance and communications) offerings were mentioned in this boundless high-tech collection of capabilities.
The glaring omission here is the statement of why or how a provider can provide services to both the federal and commercial markets; the market needs and the approach to market and contracting are dramatically different. Small companies should address their niche and state why their product or service meets the needs of such a diverse customer set. When you can, the representatives of business will call you; if you can't, the phone just doesn't ring.
Example: At Dean Witter, we measure success one investor at a time.
Verdict: Very good. Implied that the firm was successful and growing, which gave credibility and encouraged investors to come to them. They valued success for their customers. "One investor at a time" strongly stated a focus on customer needs and a dedication to servicing them.
Example: Working hand-in-hand with the communications industry, we deliver low-cost microelectronics solutions today for the wireless products of tomorrow.
Verdict: Interesting. How can you work with an industry? You work with companies and people that are a part of the industry makeup.
Also, microelectronics today has limitations. How are you overcoming these, and what will it do for products? If you define a profound change that will be prevalent tomorrow, you will give yourself more credibility.

Expect Temptation ~ "Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now 'If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?' Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator" (1 Peter 4:12-19).
The Source of Temptation ~ "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves" (James 1:12-22).
On Your Guard ~ The source of temptation is from within—from our sinful nature which all mankind inherited from Adam. Satan deceived Adam and Eve and he continues to deceive all of us today. "Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 5:6-11).

There is a documentary out called My Beautiful Broken Brain, about a woman learning to communicate again after her brain injury. I keep meaning to watch it. But I just realized I don't need to watch it â€" I am living it. It turns out that I am not as invincible as I once thought. Repairable, yes. Invincible, no. I have permanent brain injury. Brain damage. My brain got jostled about during its two surgeries, and it was even shifted over to one side for a few months, which I am now told is a Bad Thing. Some people don't recover well from it. I've beat worse odds than this before, so I may recover just fine. Neuroplasticity of brains and all. Hard to tell right now though. My deficits are in communication and problem solving. That's what I know so far. My neurologist wants me to attend Brain Camp, an intensive rehabilitation program where I get to relearn how to make words happen and hopefully learn how to think better. I, of course, think I think just fine. I like my ways of reasoning.

What is Glucosamine & how does it work?
Glucosamine is a natural chemical compound that is found in healthy cartilage within the joints. It is made up of glucose and the amino acid glutamine and is imperative to the production, maintenance and repair of cartilage. It is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, which is a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Glucosamine is also the essential building block for most other major parts of the joint, including tendons, ligaments and synovial fluid.
Cartilage is the rubber cushion that can be found at either end of the bone, where 2 or more bones meet. It acts as a shock absorber and prevents the bone surfaces from rubbing against each other in order to protect our bones and joints. Glucosamine is essential for maintaining and preserving healthy cartilage and our bodies should produce sufficient amounts within the joints by itself.
Unfortunately as we age, our body's production of glucosamine significantly slows down, which can lead to the degeneration of cartilage, causing it to become dried out, cracked and beginning to wear away. With bones left unprotected, our joints can become swollen, stiff, inflamed, tender and painful with a possible result of osteoarthritis.
As the body will eventually begin reducing its production of glucosamine over time, a lot of people are taking glucosamine supplements to ensure their body is still provided with this essential element for keeping their joints in good shape. Glucosamine supplements are also widely used for arthritic joints, especially osteoarthritis where cartilage has worn away and caused damage. This nutritional supplement is believed to repair damaged cartilage and maintain healthy cartilage by providing the body with a supply of glucosamine when it can no longer produce it itself.
There is promising evidence from research into glucosamine supplements that show it can help to reduce painful symptoms of osteoarthritis and slow down its progression. Most research that has been carried out has found most success with glucosamine and knee osteoarthritis, with patients noting a significant reduction of pain and stiffness. They have also found that a regular intake of glucosamine could prevent the narrowing of joint spaces that occurs when the cartilage has worn away, meaning that bones are less likely to run together and cause further deterioration.

Your ATM transactions and credit and debit card purchases are part of the data profile that helps companies predict your spending habits.
The idea of big data makes a lot of us uneasy. It sounds a lot like Orwell's Big Brother, and with ads from companies that seem to know what we're doing and the recent NSA domestic spying revelations, it is understandable that some people find the massive amount of information out there about all of us disturbing.
People can tell lots about you from this data, including your age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, income level, health status, tastes, hobbies, habits and a whole host of other things that you may or may not want to be public knowledge. They need only have the means and the will to gather and analyze it. And whether they mean well or ill, it can have unintended consequences.
We give up more information than we realize to companies with whom we do business, especially if we use loyalty cards or pay with credit or debit cards. Someone can learn a lot about you just from analyzing your purchases. Target received some press when it was discovered that they could pinpoint which customers were pregnant and even how close they were to their due dates from things like the types of supplements and lotions they were buying. In one case, Target began mailing coupons for baby products directly to a teenage girl, sparking her father's ire against the company for sending her what he considered age-inappropriate ads -- until he found out about her pregnancy [sources: Datoo, Duhigg, Economist].
Governments and privacy advocates have made attempts to regulate the way people's personally identifiable information (PII) is used or disclosed in order to give individuals some amount of control over what becomes public knowledge. But predictive analytics can bypass many existing laws (which mainly deal with specific types of data like your financial, medical or educational records) by letting companies conclude things about you indirectly, and likely without your knowledge, using disparate pieces of information gathered from digital sources. Some companies are using the information to do things like check potential customers' credit worthiness using data other than the typical credit score, which can be good or bad for you, depending upon what they find and how they interpret it. One worry, though, is that this type of personal information can lead to hard-to-detect employment, housing or lending discrimination. And worse yet, it may not always be entirely accurate.
It's also possible for patterns seen in big data to be misinterpreted and lead to bad decisions. Like any tool, the results all depend upon how well it is used. Even though math is involved, big data analytics is not an exact science, and human planning and decision-making has to come in somewhere. With huge data sets, judgment calls need to be made about what is important and what can be be ignored. But performing big data analytics well can give companies a competitive advantage.
Such analysis can be used for things that are obviously good, such as fighting fraud. Banks, credit card providers and other companies that deal in money now increasingly use big data analytics to spot unusual patterns that point to criminal activity. On an individual account, they can quickly be alerted to red flags like purchases of unusual items, amounts the customer normally wouldn't spend, an odd geographical location or a small test purchase followed by a very large purchase. Patterns across multiple accounts, like similar charges on different cards from the same area, can also alert a company to possible fraudulent behavior.
Huge data sets can aid in scientific and sociological research, election predictions, weather forecasts and other worthwhile pursuits. Social media posts and Google searches have even been used to quickly find out where disease outbreaks are occurring. So it's not all bad news. It'll just take a while to work out all the potential problems and to implement laws that would protect us from potential harm. Until then, if you're worried, you might want to revert to cash purchases and watch what you put out there about yourself. Still, we're probably too far down the rabbit hole for any of us to be entirely off the radar.
Author's Note: What is 'big data'?
Like anything, big data can be used for good, for ill, and for lots of stuff in between. Having ads and coupons targeted at us can be a convenience or a major annoyance. And it's more than a little unnerving the amount strangers can learn about us just because we're swiping plastic in their stores or using their cards.
Loyalty cards I'd always figured were ways to gather data on our purchases, but I hadn't really appreciated how much similar data was being tied to us individually through debit/credit purchases until now, or the incredible detail about our lives that could be discerned from it. And this isn't even including all the other information about us out there on the Internet.
The thought of my every move being analyzed makes me want to go off the grid somewhat, stop posting online and use cash for everything. Although most of us, including me, will probably continue on as we are for convenience purposes. I just might post and buy as though I'm being watched.

Money is not the best predictor of employee performance.
Passion, not compensation, is the top driver of employee performance, CEOs say.
At the Globe and Mail's 3rd Annual Small Business Summit in Toronto earlier this month, entrepreneurs shared specific approaches to motivating employees. For instance, restaurateur Grant Van Gameren said in a Globe and Mail article about the event that making employees feel they are part of the business' success is crucial.
"You can throw around a salary, but that keeps them around only so long," Van Gameren said.
Hiring the right people for the job at the get-go is another strategy. One way Isvar Prashad of the Carter Benette Group janitorial and maintenance company vets job applicants is by getting them to open up about their personal lives. One interviewee talked about being up late drinking the night before—a bad sign as the job requires an early start, according to the article.
Also important is providing challenging work, according to a Business News Daily article. "The key point is for leaders to set goals that are within reach, and to recognize the victory before rushing into the next challenge," said Don Rheem, CEO of E3 Solutions, an executive coaching firm.
Lastly, give employees authority, Rheem said. Empowering workers to take reasonable risks can breed confidence and loyalty. "One of the key ways leaders know when they have an engaged employee on their team is when the employee looks beyond their job description to invest themselves in bettering the company in innovative ways," he said.

Snorkeling destinations: 11 of the best places in the world
By Tammy Kwan, for CNN
Updated 1:17 PM EST, Fri February 10, 2017
Silver Bank (Dominican Republic) —
We asked marine experts to share their picks for some of the world's best places to snorkel. Silver Bank, a relatively shallow stretch of the Caribbean Sea, scored high. Off limits to large ships, it's a safe haven for North Atlantic humpback whales to mate and give birth.

Raja Ampat (West Papua, Indonesia) —
The reefs of Raja Ampat are home to thousands of varieties of fish, sea turtles and coral. But few snorkelers.

Palau (Micronesia) —
Palau's shallow and healthy reefs are home to a diverse range of habitat. Snorkelers often encounter turtles, tropical fish, manta rays and sharks.
Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) —
This is the place to see big marine life -- sea lions, sharks, dolphins, turtles, even penguins.

Wayag Archipelago in Raja Ampat: the view above sea is almost as spectacular as it is below.
Kealakekua Bay (Big Island, Hawaii) —
There are a ton of great snorkel spots in Hawaii, but Kealakekua Bay not only has fish, turtles and dolphins, it's got history. This photo was taken at the Captain Cook Monument, erected near the site where famed circumnavigator James Cook was killed in 1779.

Not to worry, these little residents of Jellyfish Lake, Palau, don't sting.
Komodo National Park (Indonesia) —
Thanks to nutrient-rich cold water that flushes into Komodo National Park from the Indian Ocean, the marine life is kept well fed.
Isla Holbox (Mexico) —
In summer, whale sharks off the coast of Isla Holbox swim near the surface and feed on plankton.

Solomon Islands —
Shallow reefs attract snorkelers (but not many) along the edges of Mary Island, part of the Solomon Islands.
The Philippines —
Don't think of the Philippines as a "go to" destination for snorkeling? "Many of our frequent snorkelers have said that this was their favorite trip -- they were delightfully surprised," says Jim Sano, vice president of travel, tourism and conservation with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
In addition to offering diverse coral reefs, the Philippines is becoming increasingly popular as a top spot to swim with whale sharks.
World's best snorkeling destinations
It's a common holiday letdown.
You slap on your snorkeling gear, eagerly anticipating the tropical fish and colorful reefs that await as you enter the crystal-clear shallow waters.
Instead, you find yourself face to face with a sea of flippers, bleached coral and bright orange life jackets. It can be frustrating to try to find a spectacular snorkeling destination that hasn't been taken over by crowds. But not impossible.
We asked a few marine experts to share some of their favorite places to snorkel.
In these top snorkel spots you'll be bumping fins with reef fish, humpback whales and non-stinging jellyfish – to name just a few.
1. Raja Ampat (West Papua, Indonesia)
Raja Ampat: Home to 75% of all known coral species.
At the top of the list is Raja Ampat, or Four Kings, located in Indonesia's West Papua province.
Experts say it's hard to find anywhere else in the world that compares, given it's got the world's greatest concentration of marine life for a region of its size and 75% of all known coral species in the world.
A marine oasis with more than 1,000 different species of fish, sea turtles, sharks and manta rays, snorkeling here means largely having the place to yourself as the isolated islands are scarce of people.
Snorkelers come face to face with fish and coral in every direction while swimming the waters of this archipelago, which is made up of 50,000 square kilometers of islands and water.
"Each day you get to experience something different," says marine biologist and snorkeling guide Lee Goldman of Coral Triangle Adventures.
For info on getting there/where to stay, check out Indonesia's official tourism website.
2. Komodo National Park (Indonesia)
Though Komodo National Park's celebrity inhabitants steal the show – it's one of only five islands in the world where you can see Komodo dragons in the wild – the snorkeling here is not to be overlooked.
Being a World Heritage Site for more than 30 years, the reefs and islands of this Indonesia national park are heavily protected, giving their abundance of underwater life and corals a chance to flourish.
The area is also rich in nutrients, thanks to the cold water that flushes into the park from the Indian Ocean, keeping the marine life fed.
"You really know you're in a different part of the world when you're in Komodo," says Coral Triangle Adventures' Goldman.
The world's most luxurious 'dragon' hunt
3. The Galapagos Islands (Ecuador)
A friendly sea lion might pop over to say hello during your Galapagos snorkel.
Unlike most spots on this list, snorkeling in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands doesn't revolve around colorful coral and tropical fish.
This is the place to see big marine life – we're talking sea lions, sharks, dolphins, turtles and even penguins.
Being the basis of Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution, the Galapagos Islands offer snorkelers fascinating and unique mammals both on land and beneath the sea.
The islands' remote location means that underwater wildlife are friendly and approachable – mainly because they don't encounter humans all that often.
"There's a good chance you'll be approached by a playful sea lion or a group of turtles that will happily swim alongside you," says Jim Sano, vice president of travel, tourism and conservation with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
4. The Coral Triangle (Asia Pacific)
Stretching from Eastern Borneo all the way across Bali, the Philippines, most of Indonesia and the Solomon Islands, the Coral Triangle is the center of the world's marine biodiversity.
It's home to 75% of all known coral species in the world and encompasses 647 million hectares of land and sea.
What makes it so awesome for snorkelers is that you don't have to go deep to check out the region's 2,000 species of reef fish, which hang out just below the surface.
The region also nurtures six of the world's seven marine turtle species.
5. The Philippines
Don't usually think of the Philippines as a "go to" destination for snorkeling?
WWF'S Sano stresses that it's one of the most beautiful places for underwater activity.
"Many of our frequent snorkelers have said that this was their favorite trip – they were delightfully surprised," he says.
Made up of more than 7,000 islands, the Philippines is home to one of the most populous and diverse ecosystems on the planet.
A notable standout is the Bay of Donsol, home to whale sharks – the world's largest living fish. Visitors have the opportunity to swim next to these gentle and friendly giants.
Another area worth checking out is Noa Noa Island, which has thousands of colorful reef fish and thriving reefs.
6. Silver Bank (Dominican Republic)
Silver Bank is one of only a few places in the world where humans can swim and snorkel alongside humpback whales.
It's in a relatively shallow stretch of the Caribbean Sea, making it off limits to large ships.
This makes it a safe haven for the North Atlantic humpback whale population to mate and give birth.
Snorkelers can catch up with the humpback whales between December and April, when they pass through the area.
7. Palau (Micronesia)
Snorkelers love hovering above a "blue hole" in a Palau reef.
Ever want to swim with jellyfish without having to worry about getting a nasty sting by one of them?
Palau's Jellyfish Lake is the place to go. A boat ride and short hike will take you to this unusual and isolated lake, inhabited by millions of harmless jellyfish. But it's more than jellies that make this Micronesia island a top snorkeling destination.
Palau's shallow and healthy reefs are home to a diverse range of habitat.
Visitors can encounter marine life such as turtles, tropical fish, manta rays and sharks.
8. Great Barrier Reef (Australia)
Everyone's familiar with the Great Barrier Reef. Yet its popularity isn't without substance nor should it be overlooked.
Made up of 2,900 individual reefs and stretching more than 2,300 kilometers, it's the world's largest coral reef ecosystem and has been around for half a million years.
The reefs here are easily accessible to snorkelers and filled with a diverse range of fish and coral.
The water is warm, making it the perfect environment to explore the unmatched underwater scenery. Sadly, scientists say it could become extinct as soon as 2050 due to climate change.
Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are causing oceans to warm, they say, bleaching the reef's corals to death.
Occupying the eastern tip of the Coral Triangle, the Solomon Islands are a popular destination for scuba divers.
Part of their fame stems from the presence of so many sunken warships – some of World War II's most bitter South Pacific battles took place here.
But the Solomon Islands are a great destination for snorkelers, too.
In places like Uepi Island and Mary Island you can wade off shore to find beautiful reefs filled with sea life such as giant eagle rays, sharks, barracuda and batfish.
10. Isla Holbox (Mexico)
A sleepy island off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Isla Holbox is the world's top destination for whale shark swimming, says Ted Martens, vice president of marketing and sustainability with Natural Habitat Adventures.
"These giant creatures are actually harmless," he adds.
During summer, the whale sharks swim near the surface and feed on plankton. This is when snorkelers can swim next to the gigantic fish – some of which can reach up to 18 meters (60 feet) in length.
As for the island itself, it's famed for its sound eco-tourism practices. There are no cars here – only golf carts.
11. Kealakekua Bay (Big Island, Hawaii)
Kealakekua Bay: Weird though it may be to think, Captain James Cook was killed in a pretty beautiful spot.
There are a ton of great snorkel spots in Hawaii, but Kealakekua Bay not only has vibrant coral, colorful fish, turtles and dolphins, it's got history.
The best marine-life spotting is found just in front of the onshore Captain Cook Monument, a stark white obelisk erected near the site where famed circumnavigator James Cook was killed by native Hawaiians in 1779.
The small bay is accessed in one of three ways: on foot down (and back up) a rugged jungle trail; by paddle on a rented kayak; on a guided tour offered by a select group of companies licensed to operate in these protected waters.
Special thanks to Lee Goldman, marine biologist and snorkeling guide of Coral Triangle Adventures; Jim Sano, vice president of travel, tourism and conservation from the World Wildlife Fund; and Ted Martens, vice president of marketing and sustainability with Natural Habitat Adventures, for their expertise and assistance.

In addition to financial assistance, the foundation also helps with:
- wheelchairs
- computers
- adaptations to players' or parents' homes.
The Murrayfield Injured Players' Foundation is funded through a combination of investment income, donations from clubs, individuals and other organisations and fund-raising.
It is vitally important that the fund continues to grow, so that it can support those who need it most. The trustees welcome all contributions.

## Lets stand togather against people who have been misbehaving women. We all would not want this kind of language and pervertish behavior to be used with our sisters, daughters or wife's and hence the boycott.

### Fight Against Sexual Harassment

The year is 2017. Startup Ecosystem is thought to be a progressive and open platform for every entrepreneur dreaming of making a dent in the universe. Yet, ironically, we start the new year with a campaign to Fight Against Sexual Harassment, in the Startup Ecosystem.

Every industry has an unbalanced power equation. Boss/Employee, Client/Vendor, and in the startup ecosystem, Investor/Entrepreneur. It is this power equation that is being blatantly abused by a few, reducing aspiring Entrepreneurs to sexual objects, and moving the clock back 50 years on equality.

> This campaign and fight is against the sexual harassment and advances made by Mahesh Murthy (MM). MM is an angel investor and a VC Partner at Seedfund. He is an invited guest speaker by many startup events and his strong opinions on Startups and the industry appear in various media.

Through his appearances and writing, MM has amassed significant social clout, influence and authority over founders, aspiring entrepreneurs and employees in startups. He is looked up to and is often approached by founders and startups for advice, mentorship, and funding.

Normally, what someone does in their personal life would not be our problem. But when MM uses his professional influence and power to harass unsuspecting victims who are on the other side of the power equation, we have to rise to take a stand. We have to show ZERO TOLERANCE to such behaviour, and have a startup ecosystem that is welcoming and supportive to all entrepreneurs.

### Why are all women not coming out?

We still live in a difficult society. Women founders have a lot to fight against. Pressure from family, society, colleagues, apart from the pressure of building a startup. In such a scenario,  they have learned to ignore, block and move on. As it is easier to block and forget, than to fight out against so many different forces out there. Everyone out there is out to judge, pass comments and question the legitimacy of the incident.

Secondly, not every incident has proofs. Some are made over a call. Some over discussion during an event. How do you backup your points? There are going to be questions. And he easily has the excuse, that he was approached for funding, and when he said no, he is being made a victim.

Thirdly, the power equation. In the matter of investors vs entrepreneurs, the power equation is tilted towards the investors. If one investor speaks badly about you, many other investors shy away from investing in your company. Hence, it becomes very hard to expose such a behaviour.

### So what can be done?

The question to ask is,
Does such a person deserve to stay and be active in the startup ecosystem?
Why is he still being invited to speaking engagements, media opinions, and articles?
In doing so, are we not abetting and helping him continue such activities?

As community and startup ecosystem we want to see Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment. We urge you to join us in this fight against sexual harassment by taking the following pledge. Share this pledge on social media to encourage others to take the pledge too.

### Share this in your circle

{% include sharing.html %}

### Take a pledge:

I, ……………………, take a pledge, not to associate with Mahesh Murthy in any manner, not to invest along with him, nor work in companies funded by him, nor raise money from him, nor attend events where he has been invited as a speaker, nor read or share article written by him, or having a quote from him.

I also take a pledge to have ZERO TOLERANCE towards sexual misbehaviour, and create a welcoming, supportive startup ecosystem for all entrepreneurs.

Additionally, I also take a pledge, to spread this message and encourage everyone who cares about women entrepreneurship and/or wants to fight against sexual harassment on women.

Additionally, I would request the media, blogs and events to remove any past reference of Mahesh Murthy from their website.

Name:
Email:
Phone:

( A copy of this pledge will be sent to your email id.)

Been affected by MM or anyone else whose behaviour goes beyond ZERO TOLERANCE? Send an email to ____ with evidence.

Made with  by folks just like you.

Is Pin-Point Radiation Therapy Everything It Is Cracked Up To Be?
Stereotactic radiotherapy ("SRS") has become one of the fastest growing radiation therapies. Stereotactic radiation is a technological innovation designed to target tiny tumors while minimizing the damage to surrounding tissues. Because the radiation is concentrated and intense, accuracy is particularly important.
Stereotactic radiotherapy appeals to patients because it can be performed on an out-patient basis in a single day. As a result, the use of small beam treatments has soared, as they are used on many different parts of the body in addition to the brain and spine.
Standard radiation therapy often involves dozens of treatments at low doses, so an incorrect treatment may not cause harm to the patient. However, with stereotactic radiotherapy, there is usually only a single potent dose requiring pin-point precision.
In the last five years, the manufacturer of the linear accelerators that are used for stereotactic radiotherapy have caused a numbers of radiation overdoses, according to a New York Times article. Some mistakes were caused by operator error. In Missouri, 76 patients were over-radiated because the physician did not realize that the smaller radiation beam used in radiosurgery had to be calibrated differently than the larger beam used in tradiational radiation therapy. The overdoses continued for five years because the hospital did not realize that its radiation therapy equipment had been set up incorrectly.
Linear accelerators, which generate radiation without using radioactive material, are overseen by the Food and Drug Administration. Since there is no requirement that all mistakes involving linear accelerators be reported to a central database, it cannot be determined how often errors with linear accelerators occur. Without a requirement that accidents and near-misses be reported, hospitals cannot learn from their mistakes.
Earlier this year, the American Society of Radiation Oncology called for the establishment of a central database for reporting of errors involving linear accelerators. Nothing has happened.
As in other areas of medical mistakes, the reporting of errors with stereotactic radiotherapy should be transparent and mandatory. Until this happens, the mistakes of over-radiation will continue and physicians and hospitals will not learn from their mistakes.

Finally, I say! I'm So Excited about the slate frames that are being produced for the general US embroidery market by Access Commodities. Finally, a slate frame that is strong, solid, serviceable, and absolutely meticulously correct in all its details. And – finally – I've been able to get one!
Yes, I'm a bit of a frame junkie. I have tried them all, you see. And I like many different types of embroidery frames.
But the slate frame – that is, a good slate frame – just can't be beat.
I've also tried lots of different slate frames over the years. Frames made with very heavy, thick wood that, though well-made, were so cumbersome they were hard to handle and manipulate. Frames made from such thin, light wood that they bowed under the pressure of lacing. Frames that were poorly finished, that needed constant touch-up sanding to prevent splinters and snagging.
Frames with roller holes that were too large, so that the frame easily skewed itself with the slightest bump. Frames with twill tape that shredded on the first use.
Frames with conical pegs that popped out whenever the frame was set on a flat surface.
Frames that I've made due with when I needed a slate frame, but never felt satisfied with.
Here in the US, the slate frame has not come into its own yet – but it really needs to!
I think that, if stitchers could experience the pleasure of sitting down to an embroidery project that is framed up correctly on a good slate frame, and if they could experience the satisfaction felt when removing the smooth, finished piece of embroidery worked on a slate frame, they'd understand why the slate frame is favored at institutions like the Royal School of Needlework.
Because the slate frame allows for long-term drum-taut tension for fabric that is framed up square with the grain, it is almost impossible to produce a piece of embroidery – no matter how densely stitches – that is puckered or warped.
And although the slate frame takes a little more work to set up compared to a hoop or stretcher bars (you become faster at setting up a slate frame once you do it a few times), it is worth the extra time. When you can sit down at a piece of embroidery that's laced up tightly on a slate frame two years after you mounted it on the frame, and still enjoy drum-taut tension, that's a good thing.
1. The wood from which they are constructed is a strong hard wood. It's not a super-heavy wood that makes the frame unmanageable, but it's not a light, soft wood that would bow over time. It feels sturdy without being overly weighty.
2. Every bit of the frame is perfectly finished and smooth as glass. Methinks the person making them really knows and loves wood and takes pride (with good cause!) in the work.
3. The rectangular holes on the roller bars are made to accommodate the side slats like a glove. They aren't tight, so that the slats are hard to push in, but they aren't loose, either. The slats, once in and pegged, don't shift. This is how it should be.
4. The twill tape is a firmly woven, finished synthetic twill tape that doesn't shred and separate when it is sewn. It's sturdy and a little stiff-ish, but still flexible enough to turn over the roller bars if necessary.
5. Then there's the question of the pegs. Sometimes, I think the pegs on a slate frame are an afterthought of the manufacturer. But they shouldn't be!
The pegs on a slate frame are critical to the frame. They provide the vertical tension on the frame. They have to hold the top and bottom bars apart from each other, and in between those two bars is a piece of fabric that is under great tension. So the pegs have a big job to do.
On many slate frames, you'll see conical pegs that slide rather far into the holes on the slats. They are just smooth cones of wood. If you want these conical pegs to stay put, you have to jam them in and hope for the best. Any good knock on the back of a peg – or just laying the frame on a flat surface so that the peg is coming into contact with the table – displaces the peg. That's just no good.
On other slate frames, the cotter pin is the peg of choice, and while it works and is a good choice (I prefer it to conical pegs), it is not as easy to use as a peg, if you have trouble with your hands. Cotter pins are small, and they can be really hard to pull out when you need to move them.
The solution here? A peg that is relatively short, that has a knobby head that's easy to grasp, and that has this interesting little shelf feature at the tip.
The peg fits into the hole, and with a little pressure, it locks into it. You can lay the slate frame on a flat table, and the pegs won't pop out.
As a bonus, the pegs are pretty, too!
Not every embroiderer needs a slate frame. Especially if you know your interest in embroidery is more on the crafty side and will probably pass when another craft you're interested in comes along, then you probably wouldn't invest in one.
But if you have taken up embroidery and are serious about learning the art to your fullest potential; if you are already a die-hard stitcher; if you do long-term needlework projects (surface embroidery, goldwork, crewel work, whitework, needlepoint, cross stitch, and so forth) – then a good slate frame is worth the investment. It will last you your whole stitching life and beyond and afford you much pleasure.
If you find the price tag a little hefty, this is what I do: I never buy an expensive needlework tool right off the bat. I budget for it and save little bits here and there until I can buy it.
Or I put it on my Christmas list and drop very subtly-obvious hints to all parties concerned.
The nice thing? They're available in Small Sizes, too! Normally, you don't find small slate frames, so I'm glad to see that there are some smaller sizes available.
They come with a thorough instructional packet on how to set up a slate frame, plus a spool of linen lacing string for setting it up. The linen string is more important than you might realize. Linen doesn't stretch like cotton – it's the ideal fiber for setting up a slate frame.
You can also find them available at Thistle Threads, but I think they only have one size available right now.
So, for stitchers in the US who have been pining for good slate frames to be made more widely available, this is good news indeed.
Put one on your Christmas list!
YEARS ago, I was offered an antique slate frame, which I declined. I wasn't doing all that much embroidery at the time, and didn't think I'd use it very often.
Really interesting to read about. Great close up photos. I doubt I'll ever buy one, but I'd be interested in seeing a long shot of this type of frame since I don't know what it is.
I read your post this morning with great interest, Mary. Thank you! I have a friend who uses slate frames and her work is stunning. I have a small questions about the pegs: when it comes time to disassemble the frame, how do you unlock them?
You just pull them out, Laura – they don't lock tight, they just prevent the pegs from popping out if you put the frame down on a flat surface.
2. extra bulk at the sides of the fabric if it is hemmed, zig-zagged, or has a thick selvedge. When rolled around the top and bottom of the frame, this makes the edges of the fabric tighter and the middle a little saggy.
I know I must be doing something wrong.
Hi, Monique – most good linen doesn't stretch, esp. if you pre-shrink it. If you're using a blend, yes, they can be spongy and stretch over time. I'm not sure about #2 – I've not had that problem. I've always been able to stretch it to drum-taut, despite rolling it over the bars. I think it's just a matter of working the frame, the vertical stretch and the horizontal, until it's right. Another thing I do, after the final stretch when setting it up, is spritz it with a light spray of water and let it dry. When it dries, it has just that extra tightness that makes the linen almost hard as a board. I love it when it's like that!
Your frame – what does it rest upon?
You can rest it on the edge of a table in front of you, and the front part on your lap, or you can use many kinds of floor frames to clamp it on or rest it on. There are many that can accommodate slate frames. You can also rest it on the edge of the table and put a weight on the frame, or use a clamp (from the hardware store – like a C clamp) to clamp it to the table, if you want it parallel to the floor.
It's great to hear from you again missed you. These slate frames sound really well made and a great frame, it's good to know that they've finally made a good solid slate frame which actually works. I can't get on Needle in a haystack website it keeps coming up as failed I've tried other ways but the page won't open. Thanks for sharing with us the new slate frame from Access Commodities and look forward to seeing the frame set up and look forward to hearing from you tomorrow.
Yes, I'm not sure their page is not loading. It was working this morning, so we shall see if that is fixed as the day goes by….
Oh yes, it's beautiful, I also really worked pins. Have a pleasant and beautiful tool also contributes to the pleasure of embroidery, it's a little ritual rejoicing, I do not get tired of my old hoop, it is in walnut.
I'm puzzled about the "firmly woven, finished cotton twill tape." In the photo, it looks like they melted then end to finish it, but cotton doesn't melt. Is it finished with some kind of glue? Or is the twill tape actually something like nylon that can be melted to prevent fraying?
Yes, you're right, Nat – it is a synthetic twill, not cotton. I corrected it. Thanks!
Good morning, Mary. I hope you're feeling a little better every day.
I really, really, REALLY would like to buy one of these (and probably will). The problem is my sweet husband designed and built me a trestle stand based on the ones we saw used at the Chinese Embroidery Center in Suzhou. He also made me a custom slate frame and, bless his heart, it has all the problems you outlined. Well, it IS smooth so it isn't too awful! But how do I possibly replace it without hurting his feelings? That was a rhetorical question, really, but, oh! the thought of not having it come apart when those darned pegs come out! sigh.
Hi, Denise – Maybe he can make you some kind of solution for the pegs?? That might do it?
My question would be why a slate frame would be chosen over the Evertite frames?
There really is a big difference, Wendi. For one thing, you can roll the horizontal bars on the slate frames, so you can accommodate much larger pieces without the reach needed, if the whole project must be exposed when it's mounted up. For another, even though you can adjust the Evertites, there is a limit to how much you can adjust them. There is no limit to how much you can adjust a slate frame, except vertically (due to the length of the slats), but you can roll the slats to take up excess fabric. A slate frame provides unmatched tension, compared to any other frame, and over time, that tension can be maintained. That being said, I love the Evertite frames and I use them all the time. It just depends on the project.
I went to Needle In A Haystack's website and noticed that Evertite makes a slate frame. The order takes several months to complete as it is made special order. Has anyone tried these? How would you compare them to the slate frame from Access Commodities?
Hi, Wendi – I have a larger one and I wrote about it here: https://www.needlenthread.com/2008/07/slate-frames-for-hand-embroidery-yippee.html The difference is that the rollers are actually round, not flat, which is fine, but because of that, they are very heavy. They also don't work in any clamp-on type frame. The pegs are cotter pins and the peg holes are quite small. This does allow tightening in smaller increments, but it's more difficult to remove and adjust the cotter pins. Overall, the frame, while very well made and beautiful, is very heavy, so the only possible solution for supporting it is a good set of trestles. It doesn't work on any other stand that I have, whereas the lighter frames work on the Needle Needs stand, Judy O'Dell's stand, and in my NWS4 frame clamp.
I have failen in love with the Evertite frames for keeping a piece taut for long term working. How would you compare the slate frame to these. I know the setup is longer on the slate frames.
Well, nothing really compares to a slate frame. But I do use the Evertites as well, for smaller, quicker projects.
Oh, yeah! Thank you so much, Mary!
The link you provide to Needle in a Haystack just spins for me. I'll try it from home to see if I get a better response.
I think they're having a website problem….
Thank you so much for this article. I've just bought my first slate frame and it has several of the problems you talked about. Once I get the fabric taut it's not too bad although the pegs do not want to stay in place. I might have a go at modifying their shape so that they will lock in like the ones on this frame.
I loved this article. Right now the system I have is working for me, but you make slate frames so tempting!
I looked at the Access Commodities slate frames you mentioned at Needle in a Haystack and saw Evertite slate frames for sale there as well. Have you ever tried them, or heard anything about them?
This is probably a silly question, but can you use a large slate frame with a smaller piece of embroidery? For instance if you have a slate frame that is 16 by 16, could you lace in a piece that is 8 by 8? Would it work, or would you need to stick to within 2 or 3 inches larger or smaller than the frame?
Hi, Kate – Yes, I've reviewed the Evertite frames here: https://www.needlenthread.com/2008/07/evertite-stretcher-bar-frames-for.html I use them all the time, for small quick projects.
You can definitely use a larger frame for a smaller piece. You can either add strips of fabric to the sides, you can mount the smaller piece on a larger piece of muslin and mount the muslin, or you can just lace to the edge of the smaller piece. As long as the piece is deep enough (vertical length) for the peg holes to hold the fabric taut vertically, you're fine. So you'll want to know what the minimum vertical distance is that the slats can accommodate.
I commented before, but I meant to ask you about the Evertite *slate* frames, not their stretcher bar frames, oops!
The slate frames are all the way at the bottom of Needle in a Haystack's page. It looks like they are custom order only. Since they make such good stretcher bar frames it really makes me curious about their slate frames.
I had been reading your many references to slate frames and until today, I thought you meant slate as in stone (long a sound). LOL, I finally realized today when I took the time to look at the pictures that you meant slate (short a sound). I am new to your website and wanted to say, Thank you. I am so thankful to have found your website. I mostly find cross-stitch embroidery projects and did not want that. I had a few ideas, but wasn't sure how to execute them. I now have a pathway to bring them to life.
I have been researching all the different frame types recently mainly by reading your reviews and had just decided to invest in a millenium frame. After reading todays article I could use some advice on which way to go. The slate or the millenium?
I like both, for different reasons. The Millenium doesn't take as long to set up. And it provides good tension in the working area, but not as good on the very edges on large projects in some cases. The slate frame gives consistent tension horizontally and vertically, all the way to the edges. The mechanisms on the Milenium frame are much more complex, so there's more of a chance of something going wrong with them. The slate frame is very simple in construction. Not much can go wrong with them.nfor a long term project, I always choose a slate frame. For shorter term projects, I'll go either way – it just depends on what I'm doing.
I,too, looked at the Needle in a Haystack site and saw two brands of slate frames–those made by Access Commodities and Evertite–and wondered how the two brands compared.
Thanks for the input on slate frames. I have not tried the (for lack of a better word) double-button peg, will need to look into them. Not sure about the webbing tho, it looks a little hard to get a needle through for attaching the fabric. And Birch is a good wood for these, light and strong :). Thanks again!
Thankfully I have a lovely slate frame……I could never understand a,why they were so difficult to get hold of in America…..and b, why so expensive ?
Any way , this looks like a real beauty !
I think a big reason is economy of scale. They aren't a very well known type of frame in the US so there isn't a big demand for them. I would guess that less than 1% of our customer base have ever heard of one. And finding wood workers who are willing to make them is also hard. I know Access Commodoites has been working on trying to get them made here in the US for a few years. We're thrilled that it has finally come to fruition, even if it's in limited sizes. But the sizes needed for Tricia's casket class is what has helped drive enough demand. Pricing is all about time and effort to make them so if it were some big company manufacturing them the prices might be lower. But like the Millenium frames, this is a cottage industry – like 99% of needlework related businesses.

Tyler/Vernon station is a DART Light Rail station in Dallas, Texas. It is located at Tyler Street and Vernon Avenue in the Oak Cliff neighborhood. It opened on June 14, 1996 and is a station on the , serving the nearby residential and commercial areas.

Originally there was no DART parking lot at this station (making it one of the few stations with no parking facilities) but a small pay parking lot, nestled between houses in the mainly residential area, was adjacent to the station.  However, this small lot is now part of the station facility and no longer charges for parking.
