* Busch Gardens and Sea World in Florida, both popular tourist parks where animals are displayed in natural settings, provide the background for "Summer Safari," an environmentally oriented CBS special tonight (9 o'clock, Channel 11) that spotlights threats to wildlife.
One-time "Bachelor Father" John Forsythe ('Dynasty") is the host, joined by a bunch of TV star kids young enough to be his grandchildren, including Chelsea Hertford ("Major Dad"), Jonathan Taylor Thomas ("Home Improvement") and Danny Pintauro ("Who's the Boss?").
Singer Marilyn McCoo ("The Fifth Dimension") is a guest star.
* New "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno is proving to have a nose for news -- or at least newscasters.
Earlier this week, Leno challenged ABC's Sam Donaldson on some of the excesses of media coverage in the presidential race. Tonight (at approximately 12:05 a.m., due to basketball coverage), the host is scheduled to welcome National Public Radio reporter Nina Totenberg, who covered the Clarence Thomas nomination to the Supreme Court.
* Have you heard Alan Christian back on the Baltimore radio waves? The longtime talk show host, who got into legal trouble a few years back with his efforts to buy a local station as flagship for a talk show network, is doing daily commentaries on WERQ-AM 1010.
"Alan's Street" can be heard at 7:25 a.m. and 5:25 p.m. weekdays on the station, which recently became this market's only all-news station, the CNN Radio carrier here. Previously, the station simulcast the music of sister station WERQ-FM 92.3.
* Here's another cable TV milestone: The HBO premium service announced this week that the third season premiere last Saturday of the funny adult sitcom "Dream On" drew higher ratings than the big three broadcast networks at 10:30 p.m. in the homes of HBO subscribers.
The program's 13.9 rating/25 share topped the 4.5/8 for "The Commish" on ABC, the 6.5/12 for "Midway" on CBS and the 5.3/10 for "Sisters" on NBC.
The ratings measurement encompassed just the 17.5 million homes in the U.S. with access to HBO. One ratings point equals 921,000 homes.
* The nominations for The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences local Emmy awards came out this week, covering the area from Richmond to Baltimore, and Maryland Public Television led the list with 10 nominations.
But 10 of these, including two for best entertainment program or special, were for the live comedy revue program "Crabs," which was canceled last year by MPT.

What I've Learned So Far » Networking doesn't have to be hard.
ABSOLUTELY. Many people are inherently interesting, especially when you get them talking about their own areas of focus, whether that means gluten-free cooking, coaching Little League, or enterprise sales. If you have so much as a slight interest in any of these things — or, even better, more than one of them — then you automatically have something to talk about.
Bear with me for a moment as I put on my Cultural Critic hat. (Read: "Here comes a wee rant.") We live in a society that promotes consumerism everywhere you look. We're all encouraged by endless advertising, marketing, and unconscious peer pressure to connect with the brands and products and mass media that we consume.
If you do networking the smarmy way, it's more of the same narcissism: How can I get what I want? Back-slapping, mercenary networking is in some ways about consuming the assets of others (their business contacts, the jobs they can give us, their money) for our own aggrandizement.
Making real human connections with interesting people.
That's a much, much better way to be, right?
If you're willing to make it so, networking can turn your life into a sort of literary or artistic salon. In this context, networking is about finding and exploring the most compelling ideas and passions of interesting people.
Yes of course it's to mutual benefit — just like all the members of a literary salon can walk away smiling from an evening spent together, enjoying the stimulation that comes with laughter, camaraderie, and new ideas. That's what you're going for.
Even better, the capabilities of today's social media mean that you can do this at your own pace, and you can do it from anywhere.
Waiting at the mechanic's shop for your car to be ready? You can read an intriguing article and share it with your friends.
Stuck in a backwoods location where no one shares your interests? You can find your birds of a feather online.
Stuck in a stodgy company that isn't open to new ideas? You can learn and share with some of the most innovative practitioners in your field through blogs, Facebook, and Twitter.
Social media is particularly a boon to introverts. I've met some of the brightest, funniest, most engaging people online — only to have them tell me later that they're extremely shy in face-to-face settings. Twitter and Tumblr and other outlets give them the chance to take that extra moment or two so that they can collect their thoughts and share them in a format that they can control. This means that anyone can participate in a salon-style life — without needing to be a wit like Oscar Wilde or a raconteur like Christopher Hitchens.
Good networking means connecting with interesting people, finding out more about them, helping them out, and maybe collaborating with them.
What do you think about this approach to networking?
Part of it is time and the other is putting yourself out there without expecting anything in return.
These are two great topics to address, and I want to talk about both of them in terms of mindset or expectations.
A lot of people, in my experience, regard networking as somehow separate from their other personal and professional activities. True, you DO have to put in time for networking to be effective — but it's not an outrigger activity. It really should be woven into the rest of what you do.
Think of this way: if you're a working professional, most of your waking hours and much of your human interaction unfolds in a professional context. Even if you work from a home office or a series of hotel rooms, your mind spends lots and lots of time in working mode.
From a personal perspective, it would be a shame if you didn't cultivate and harvest enjoyable interactions and friendships from all that time spent. From a professional perspective, it would be a shame if you put in all that hard work . . . but your personal contacts and their friends didn't know enough about you to appreciate your abilities and achievements.
Networking is really nothing more complicated than cementing the human relationships that accompany your professional life. And that's worth your time.
For this post, I'll leave that at the philosophical level. In later posts we can dig into more of the ways that you can fold networking into your ordinary daily activities: cleaning out your inbox, reading things online, attending business meetings, and on and on.
This cannot be overemphasized: Networking isn't about keeping score.
Uber-networker Keith Ferrazzi emphasizes this in his book Never Eat Alone — and in all of his writing about networking. You're trying to connect with people, help them out, find areas of common interest, and invest your life and theirs with more meaning. It's not a point-scoring contest.
Now, if someone goes full narcissist on you — always taking and never giving — sure, give them a wider berth. And you don't have to get buddy-buddy with every cordial person who comes along. But that's the same whether we're talking about a college friend, a romantic partner, a colleague, or the other parents who split carpooling duty with you. In other words, it's common sense for dealing with human nature.
Easy-peasy. You're starting and nurturing conversations with friends, right? No need to make it more complicated than that — or to keep score on who owes a favor to whom.
Does this approach work for you? What would you add?
Networking doesn't have to be hard: LinkedIn Endorsements.
Last year, LinkedIn rolled out a new feature called Endorsements. It's tied to the "Skills & Expertise" section of your LinkedIn profile*, and it lets your LinkedIn connections endorse your good qualities as a marketer, editor, project manager, or whatever else is relevant.
If you go to my LinkedIn profile, click the "View Full Profile" button, and scroll down to the Skills & Expertise section, you'll see that friends have been nice enough to endorse me for my abilities in blogging, social media marketing, writing, public speaking, and so on. And every time someone has endorsed me, I've gotten a little notice in my inbox about it, which means . . .
Thanks for the LinkedIn endorsement — I appreciate it.
How's life been treating you lately? What projects are you tackling in 2013?
Maybe Robin's a former colleague I've been out of touch with, or maybe she's just an acquaintance I met at a conference five years ago. I may not know what's going on in her life at all — which is fine, because nothing in my note pretends that I do. It's just a gentle, lightweight follow-up.
Note that, because her endorsement came via LinkedIn, I don't even need her e-mail address. I can simply drop her a line via LinkedIn's own private messaging functionality.
Note, also, that I could reuse this note — or something much like it — for just about anyone. They won't know that it's boilerplate, and there's no need to make it any more complex than this.
If you can honestly comment on your friend's expertise, go to her profile and endorse her for a skill she has listed. It's as simple as clicking a button.
If you worked with this person and really liked them, you could go further and write them what LinkedIn calls a Recommendation — a short little testimonial in which you talk about her good qualities as a professional.
If she answers your note with something simple that doesn't open up a dialogue ("Doing great — hope you're well!"), no problem — it was just a friendly Hello for both of you.
If she answers your note with something meatier ("I see you switched jobs a couple of months ago. I've been thinking about a career shift myself . . ." etc.), then you've started a more substantial conversation. Share your thoughts — or even just encouragement — and maybe introduce her to another friend who could help her out.
If you're involved in other social networks, you'll immediately see that this model can be extended to any of the notifications that hit your inbox when someone likes your Facebook status, follows you on Twitter, and so on.
Easy enough? What are your thoughts on this?
Tell me in the comments what else I should write related to LinkedIn in this series.
Networking doesn't have to be hard: introduction.
Is "networking" a dirty word for you? It doesn't have to be.
Especially since I'm drumming up work for this new chapter of my career — more about that in another post — I've been putting extra energy into networking lately, and thinking more about what goes into it. Friends tell me they have a hard time with it, and this includes friends who are both extremely personable and highly skilled professionally.
I recognize that I enjoy a key advantage when it comes to networking: I have the personality of a talk-show host. That overarching reality is probably not transferable to someone not wired like me.
My list of topics already has several entries on it, but I would love to hear from you what topics I should cover.

FIA WECFormula 1
Fernando Alonso completes LMP1 test with Toyota
By Jake Nichol
Fernando Alonso has taken part in a "busy and interesting" test at the Bahrain International Circuit with Toyota Gazoo Racing, as the Spanish Formula 1 driver prepares to make his sportscar debut in 2018.
Two-time F1 world champion Alonso, 36, took part in the rookie test at the circuit, the day after the #8 crew of Sebastien Buemi, Anthony Davidson and Kazuki Nakajima claimed Toyota's fifth victory of the season.
Alonso, who completed 113 laps in the TS050 HYBRID, said: "testing an LMP1 car is always a nice thing for any racing driver because these cars are amazing to drive.
"I have wanted to test a car like this for a long time now and today I could achieve that."
McLaren F1 driver Alonso has grown frustrated at Honda's well documented troubles with its power-unit and has decided that he wants to try and win the so-called 'triple-crown'.
Made up of the Monaco Grand Prix, (which Alonso won in 2006 and 2007), the Indianapolis 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours, with only Graham Hill winning this trio of races.
Alonso was joined in the rookie test by Thomas Laurent "as a reward for his impressive LMP2 performance this season."
The Frenchman completed a total of 31 laps in the morning session and was quick to thank Toyota afterwards.
He said: "A big thanks to Toyota, I would love to drive a car like this again.
"It was my first time in an LMP1 car and it is the best car I have ever driven.
"The downforce, the hybrid boost and the braking. It was all very impressive" said Laurent, who took second overall at Le Mans in June.
After a successful LMP2 season, Thomas Laurent was handed his first taste of an LMP1 car. (Credit: Toyota Gazoo Racing)
Regular drivers Mike Conway and Buemi were also on testing duty for the Japanese manufacturer, who is now the sole manufacturer in LMP1 after Porsche's withdrawal, with Buemi limited to just 10 laps, with Conway completing 64 tours of the 3.3 mile circuit.
Jake Nichol is a motorsport journalist writing about the Formula 1 world championship for The Checkered Flag. He is currently freelancing for Autosport, where his work includes IndyCar, NASCAR and UK-wide national race meetings.

Bloom Into You – 10 – Holding Back
Koyomi's script is complete, but she's loath to hand it over to Yuu, since it's her first. After taking possession, Yuu makes copies and gives one to Touko, who will play the main role of a woman with amnesia being told what kind of person she is by a friend, a family member, and a lover.
The only problem is they have three completely different ideas about who she is, creating a conundrum. After last week's shed-anigans, Yuu breaks off from Touko to walk home with her friends, leading Touko to wonder if she's being avoided because took things too far.
Touko also finds it pretty scary how Koyomi was able to craft a role that fits her so well: that of the "empty girl." As for the other roles, Yuu plays her nurse, Maki her younger brother, and Doujima her friend. Sayaka plays her lover, which was designed to be a girl—another element of the play inadvertently drawn from life.
Touko also uses the student council meeting to announce a three-day, two-night study camp during the approaching summer break, at the school lodge designated for such things. While Touko is tutoring Yuu over donuts, she admits she's considered "holding back" a little more, and not just due to the fact they'll be sleeping in the same room in the lodge.
It's that Touko doesn't want Yuu to come to hate her. Yuu tells her she doesn't have to worry about, but is also happy she worried. She later calls Touko by her name (with a -senpai added on), but apparently too quietly for Touko to hear. Touko also eats the donut Yuu wanted, once more showing how she has all the initiative in their relationship.
Yuu seems to want to initiate something—anything—but just can't; not due to lack of enthusiasm for spending time with Touko. It's almost like she's afraid to lose the excuse of always being led around by the nose or taken advantage of. Not to mention, what if she proposes something to Touko and it's rejected? Or perhaps more frightening, what if it's accepted?
Much to Yuu's surprise, Touko makes good on her promise to take things down a notch, by not calling or even texting Yuu the first days of Summer break. Yuu instead keeps busy by playing video games, minding the store, and one day, hanging out with her middle school friend and former softball teammate Natsuki. That Yuu isn't hanging out with Touko irks Yuu's late-to-rise sister Rei, who finds such a situation to be "dull", even if their mother is oblivious.
Yuu may think she hasn't changed, but all it takes is a day with her for Natsuki to conclude otherwise. Specifically, she always admired and sometimes envied Yuu's ability to tolerate any situation or hardship—i.e. not crying after a tough loss. But after hearing Yuu go on so much about her senpai in the student council, Natsuki can tell she's finally become "invested" in something, or rather someone.
Natsuki considered asking Yuu to join her at her high school and join the softball team there…and knew Yuu would say yes, but decided against it. While she misses Yuu, she's glad her "hands are full" with something. Of course, Yuu doesn't necessarily take Natsuki's insights to heart, but that doesn't mean they're not spot on!
Shift to Touko, having a quiet dinner with her family, talking about her impending study camp for the play. Her father, unbidden to anyone, tells her "she doesn't have to do this," referring to putting on a play like her sister did. Touko quickly excuses herself—she's doing what she wants to do, not what she thinks she needs to.
One thing she needs after that exchange is to hear Yuu's voice, so after starting and cancelling various texts and staring at her phone, she finally closes her eyes and hits "call"…and Yuu answers. They talk about their days, and as they do, Touko says she knows, deep down, Yuu "doesn't really care" about what's going on with her, which couldn't be less true.
Yuu may sound "indifferent" over the phone, but her body language on her bed—alert, smiling, hugging a pillow, playfully peddling her feet—tells a different story. Touko may not know it, but Yuu isn't just a nurse dispassionately looking out for her. She's invested. Her happiness is starting to tie into Touko's. She appreciates Touko holding back, but doesn't want her to do so too much.
Which is what makes the post-credit sequence with Touko so goshdarn heartbreaking. Book-ending a cold open in which Touko mentioned she was having "dreams of the past", in what Sayaka says is simply Touko "dreaming about herself in the midst of remembering something."
In this case, Touko dreams of hanging out with her big sister on the couch. Their mother asks one of them to go out to buy more tea; they play rock-paper-scissors and her sister loses, so she goes out…and never comes back. Touko nods off while awaiting her return, but wakes up to the chilling sound of sirens.
Then she wakes up in real life, pulls out a photo of her family with her sister, and voices again, out loud, her resolve to become her sister. There's no "like" in there—she's talking complete transformation with nothing remaining of whoever Nanami Touko was before her sister's death. Assuming it's even possible (or appropriate) for someone to dissuade Touko from such a goal, Yuu certainly has her work cut out for her. Hell, it sure left me in tears…

Bloom Into You – 09 – Ready, Set, Yuu
Sports Day has arrived, and the StuCo is so busy Yuu and Nanami hardly see each other, to say nothing of anything more. Just as Yuu is thinking about this as she's leaving the storage shed, Nanami appears and the two go into the shed.
Yuu lets Nanami kiss her, but when Yuu pulls her off, Nanami agrees to behave until Sports Day is over, whereupon Yuu promises to give her a "reward" of her choosing: instead of Nanami initiating, Yuu will kiss her.
The Sports Day unfolds as one would expect: Yuu does her class relay, demonstrating she's fast for a short kid, owing to her long-standing friendship with the far taller Akari. Yuu then gets to talk with Maki for the first time in a while, still adamant she has no feelings for Nanami despite his suspicions. She tells him she can't fall in love with anybody, which in theory would make the two of them the same…but Maki doesn't buy it.
There's every reason to put stock in his doubt, considering how he's basically carved out a life of observing relationships from afar rather than participating directly. As such, Maki has seen a lot of faces of both lonely and content people, and Yuu's face looks lonely…too lonely for someone incapable of falling for someone.
Meanwhile, in a continuation of last week's thread, Sayaka greets Hakozaki-sensei's live-in girlfriend, who shows up to secretly watch her run in the teacher's relay. When it's time for the StuCo to do a relay against the basketball team, Yuu sees how much Nanami really wants to win, as well as her and the basketball captain Serizawa exchanging trash talk.
Yuu does her best, and manages to keep pace with the far more athletic Akari running beside her. She hands off to Sayaka smoothly, and Sayaka does the same with Nanami. As Yuu watches Nanami run with everything she's got, everything else in her world fades into the light and it's just the two of them. Perhaps a rare instance of her actually feeling that "special feeling" she claims she's unable to feel?
The ballers win in the end, but it was close, and despite having to deal with Serizawa's gloating, Nanami is happy her StuCo worked so hard. Then, with Sports Day in the books, Nanami and Yuu retire to the storage shed once more. Yuu is nervous, as she didn't think Nanami meant immediately after Sports Day was over, and when Nanami waits for Yuu to come to her with her lips, Yuu feels like she's crossing a boundary she shouldn't, because she doesn't like Nanami.
She tells Nanami to go instead, and she does, including putting her tongue in Yuu's mouth for the first time. We haven't seen the telltale blushing on Yuu's face until that happens, because when Nanami pauses and asks if she should stop, Yuu tells her it actually feels good.
So Nanami keeps French kissing Yuu, as Yuu thinks about all of the positive physical and behavioral qualities Yuu finds comfort in. She considers them all "normal" and not something to be considered "special." But as Maki would tell her, someone as incapable of love—and as comfortable with same—as Yuu claims simply wouldn't be going around looking lonely or making out with someone.
That being said, just because Yuu seems to be on the road to falling for Nanami (if she hasn't already), unless she's actually aware she's on that road and acknowledges it once and for all, her vacillating is doomed to continue.
That she's still trying to explain/excuse her rapidly escalating romantic entanglement with Nanami after nine episodes suggests the series just might end without Yuu ever coming to believe she's in love with her. Fortunately, four episodes is plenty of time to resolve this one way or another, and whatever the outcome, it's been a wonderful ride.

Beyonce's Former Lawyer On How To Overcome The Biggest Mistake Women Make In Business
June 23, 2020 By blake
Women like Beyoncé command attention, both on stage and in the boardroom. But channeling your inner Beyoncé starts by avoiding a common and costly mistake most women make in business. Trust the woman who served as the personal attorney for many famous musicians, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Jennifer Justice, better known as JJ, spent years as a music lawyer before founding The Justice Department, a female-focused strategy and law firm. She says the biggest mistake women make in business is not negotiating for themselves.

Woody Allen puts his present-day muse, Emma Stone, back to work in the upcoming Irrational Man trailer, which debuted online today. Joaquin Phoenix anchors the film as a small-town philosophy professor stumbling through an existential crisis. It looks as though the crisis might lift, however, when he falls for his student, played by the typically irresistible Stone. Although little else is known about the film's plot—which is standard Woody Allen protocol—Phoenix's character does seem to entertain a more age-appropriate romantic alternative played by Parker Posey. There is also a flask, a gun-to-the-head, some lighthearted eavesdropping, and many a waterfront Rhode Island scene.
Irrational Man opens in U.S. theaters this July.

Bahrain Batelco's profits rise 9% in 3Q
Shailaja Pai
Middle East Bahrain Batelco Batelco Gulf Network
Batelco CEO Mikkel Vinter and Batelco Chairman Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa
The net profit of the Bahrain Telecommunications Company (Batelco), listed on the Bahrain Stock Exchange, increased by 9% during the third quarter of 2021 to 15.7 million dinars ($ 41.6 million), compared to 14.4 million dinars (38. 2 million dollars) in the corresponding period of 2020.
The rise is mainly attributable to steady growth in revenue in the first nine months of the year. Batelco ended the quarter with 3.9 million subscribers, up by 3% from 3.8 million in 2020.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 increased 2% from 95.9 million dinars ($ 254.4 million) to 98.2 million dinars ($ 260.5 million).
The Bahraini company said in a statement that its net shareholder earnings for the first nine months of 2021 increased 6% to 53.2 million dinars ($ 141.1 million), from 50.3 million dinars (133.4 million dollars) for the same period in 2020.
Batelco CEO Mikkel Vinter said, "We have maintained the momentum set in the first six months of 2021 to deliver sound financial results, with a year-on-year increase of 15% respectively in fixed broadband and adjacent services and 3% increase in wholesale revenues contributing positively to this."
"The evolution of our mobile network is ongoing, and to ensure delivery of reliable mobile connectivity solutions, including 5G for new cities and developments, Batelco is extending its reach and coverage to major housing developments being built by the Ministry of Housing and the private sector across Bahrain. Furthermore, to facilitate the adoption of 5G services, Batelco ensures the availability of the latest 5G devices, such as the new Apple devices which were recently launched for Batelco's customers," he added.
As part of the ongoing transformation of Batelco's mobile network, the phase-out of the 2G service, which had been in place for over 27 years, is almost complete, with the capacity being used reallocated to support the growth of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, to meet the ever-growing demand for better and wider mobile data services.
Batelco chairman Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa said: "Batelco continues with its commitment to the community and sustainability and realising the growing importance of sustainability recently established an ESG function to adopt internationally recognised standards across various areas including sustainable energy."

I'm looking at my "for" loop and I see that have 6 columns that I am looking for. My data is all strings and I set up a delimiter just to make sure that all of the data is separated properly.I think I am just either overlooking the issue or not understanding my data.

                )
            )

EDIT1:
newhire[mask] in for a,....,c in newhire[mask] will unpack the contents of newhire[mask] int a,....,c ( the whole dataframe ). What you want to do is unpack the contents of only a single row. In order to do that you can use newhire[mask].iterrows() which, on every row returns its index and the row instance itself.
You can also use itertuples() as described in this question Pandas for loop over dataframe gives too many values to unpack

My wife Vicki and I decided at the last minute to spend a couple of days in Monterey visiting the Sea Otter Festival. It's something we've done for several years and have enjoyed it immensely. It's a relatively quick get away and gives us an excuse to feel like world travelers, and we get to ride our bikes.
I raced in two mountain bike events last year, one was the 2013 Sea Otter Classic MTB race (beginner category) and the other was the United States Police and Fire Championships (age group). At the Sea Otter Classic (SOC) I ended up second and at the Police and Fire Championships I squeaked out a first. I point this out because I want to qualify my lack of mountain bike racing experience and my decision to race as a Category 3 mountain bike racer this year. We both decided to enter the mountain bike events for the second year in a row. The SOC MTB race consists of 18 miles and 2500' of climbing, mixing single track with gravel fire roads. Though there are road bike races at the SOC, it's the mountain bike events that steal the show. I've done each of the road events several times over and each time I was amazed at the volume of mountain bikers participating and how few road bikers there were there, though the roadie contingent is growing every year it is still primarily a mountain bike event.
In the back of my mind I thought I could make the 375 mile drive early enough on Saturday to register for and participate in the 45+ 1/2/3/4 Road Race. By the time I go to Paso Robles my mind was more on the motel bed than my Fizik' saddle, so needless to say when we arrived I entered the one race I felt I could do well in, Sunday's Cross Country MTB Race. The contingent of mountain bikers that show up for the SOC is so huge the organizers break up the categories into small age groups, i.e., 44-46, 47-49, 50-52, 53-55, etc. For the second year in a row my mid 20th century birth qualified me for the 50-52 group. This year in my age group there were 57 registrants total.
Like most people, I have my pre-race rituals. The night before the race, Vicki and I shared a delicious hot fudge sundae at the Ghiradelli Chocolate Shop in Monterey, and in the morning I clean up my palate with an old fashioned chocolate covered doughnut (don't knock it 'til you've tried it). I made the start line with about two minutes to spare and as I did a quick assessment of the competition, I recognized that my Simple Green kit kind of stood out. This could be bad, I thought. One, I would be easily visible if I was off the front (a very visible carrot), and two, since most of the other racers looked like real mountain bikers, looking like a roadie wasn't going to make me a whole lot of friends (I was wishing I hadn't shaved off my beard at this point). Plus, I hit another rider in the head with my front wheel as I pushed my bike to the front line of our group. I thought we both could laugh it off. I laughed alone. Okay, it was time to focus. The 30-32 year olds started their race, then the 33-35 year olds, and eventually my group of 50-52 gray hairs were at the Start banner, and with a gunshot we were off.
The course begins on the famous Laguna Seca race track and after riding roughly halfway around the track it exits onto old Fort Ord and the true racing begins. Last year I made the mistake of hitting the dirt second wheel and found myself battling it out with a NorCal racer (first wheel) the entire race. We ended up finishing with the exact same time but his wheel was in front of mine at the finish line. This year I made a point of accelerating away from my group while still on the pavement and hitting the dirt first. My thought was to make the other riders think I was an idiot for taking off so early, and then simply being the idiot who stayed away for the win. Pretty quickly though I was caught by two riders who passed me. I noted one of them wore a Team Baghouse jersey. I don't know much about mountain bike teams but I do know that when I occasionally mountain bike in SoCal and come across someone on Team Baghouse, they are usually head and shoulders better than me. I figured I had better stay as close to these two guys as possible; it wasn't easy. At about the half way point I heard one of them say to the other, "Dude, it's over. Our guys are way gone." Thinking the three of us were together and clearly the leaders, I mentioned to them that I thought we were the front three. The Baghouse guy replied that they were in the 47-49 category and had missed their start. Ha!! That was a huge relief as I recognized I was solely off the front of my race. And with a quick "Excuse me" I squeezed past the two losers and hit the gas. Pretty soon I was mixing it with the 30 year olds and believed that absent a flat or crash I had a pretty good chance of winning this thing.
Single track racing is not my strong suit. My bike handling skills in the dirt are on par with my mother in law, and she can't ride. But climbing fire roads against 50+ year olds who could easily eat my lunch on the downhills and single track enabled me to stay away the entire race. In the final handful of single track switchbacks leading to the finish line I sincerely believed a phantom rider was right on my rear wheel just waiting to sprint around me for the win. With great relief that didn't happen. The second place rider was 23 seconds back and the third place rider was just over a minute back.
My idiot plan worked. But my initial Simple Green kit fear was validated when the second and third place finishers told me they were always able to see my kit in the distance the entire race and it wasn't until the last mile or so that they realized they weren't going to catch me. Sometimes in races it's nice to blend in a bit. However, winning in fluorescent day-glow lycra does give a rider a few extra style points.
Maybe next year I'll try the Category 2 race.

It will take some time to sink in that you're experiencing the "Godfather of Heavy Metal." It will take a few songs before it finally sinks in that you're at an Ozzy Osbourne concert.
Ozzy Osbourne gained worldwide fame as lead singer of Black Sabbath. During his tenure, the band recorded such classic albums as Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
Osbourne released his first solo album, Blizzard of Oz, in 1980. It's considered one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time.
Blizzard of Oz, as well as his second solo album, Diary of a Madman, were recorded with guitarist Randy Rhoads. Rhoads died in early 1982 while on tour with Osbourne.
Diary of a Madman was reissued in 2002 with new bass and drum parts. Fans hated the new tracks. They were commissioned by either Ozzy Osbourne or his wife Sharon. Both claimed it was the other's idea.
Osbourne returned to Black Sabbath in 2012 to record the band's 19th studio album, 13. The album went straight to number one in more than a half-dozen countries.
While Osbourne's music has entertained and influenced millions, his epic substance abuse and wild antics have become the stuff of legends.
Osbourne has abused drugs and alcohol for the better part of four decades. His drug use got him fired from Black Sabbath.
His zest for drinking made him bite off the head of a dove. He has also been arrested for public intoxication.
In an event that's become as much a part of heavy metal as leather and big hair, Osbourne masticated the head off a bat. A concert-goer threw a bat on stage, and thinking it was rubber, Osbourne give it a chomp.
The bat was not only alive, but gnawed Osbourne on the lip. He was forced to be treated for rabies.
We hope you have a genuinely gratifying experience buying Ozzy Osbourne tour tickets here and especially when being there live to enjoy the concert at Tacoma Dome on July 13, 2019.

By Author Kay D. Rhodes at Apr 15, 2009 • Category Nadya Suleman
I have no interest in being famous. I'd love to vanish from the public eye as soon as I can.
– Nadya Suleman to Life & Style, 4/9/09
I'm going to be doing a show.
– Nadya Suleman to Life & Style, 4/15/09
Apparently, a lot can happen in a week. After weeks of speculation, Nadya Suleman has agreed to exploit her ridiculously large family for a TV series. Just don't call in a reality show!
"I's not a reality show. What I'm doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children," Suleman told the tabloid. "It's going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18… It will air in the UK and then we'll see if the US is interested."
We doubt it. American networks rarely air reality shows that follow around the lives of useless, money-hungry, attention-starved individuals.
"The producers will come here to film six times a year. They'll come by and take some footage and then they'll go. They won't be invading my life or my children's lives," Suleman said, adding that the cameras will ensure she has great movies by which she can remember her kids.
Isn't that like Kim Kardashian defending her sex tape by saying it will help her remember proper technique in bed?
All that remains is a name for Suleman's TV show. Vote in our poll of below and/or send in your own suggestions…

Colby's Story
The Hole in the Wall's Year-round programs offer "a different kind of healing"
By The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp on October 20, 2021
Eleven-year-old Colby first came to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in 2019 for a Rare Disease Family Camp and spent four days with his mom enjoying traditional camp activities alongside other families facing similar challenges. From the snake he caught at Boating & Fishing – twice – to the CD he recorded in the music studio – and listened to for 12 hours straight – Colby was excited to try new things and he was looking forward to coming back to Camp the following year.
But in spring 2020, those plans were put on hold. Not only were all in-person Camp activities paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Colby also fell ill and had multiple hospital visits over the course of the year.
"He's had no energy and has just stayed in his room since February last year," his mom Janka said. "He really can't go anywhere."
Due to the combination of the ongoing pandemic and Colby's illness, he has been even more isolated than in the past. So, it lifted his spirits when he was able to connect with Hole in the Wall's CampOut program during a virtual home visit last June. For an hour, he played "Finish the Lyrics" with his mom and Hole in the Wall's CampOut team. Each player's Disney music knowledge was challenged, with Colby coming out on top. And the at-home fun continued in the fall when Colby participated in a Camp mailing series and received three different packages filled with fun Camp activities like slime- and drum-making kits.
"He gets so excited when a package arrives," Janka said. "And it's so good for him to have these activities that he can do on his own."
This summer, Colby was especially excited to return to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for a four-day Family Camp where he and his mom enjoyed individualized, podded programming filled with their favorite activities like archery, arts & crafts, and yes – fishing – all modified for COVID-19 safety.
"Colby kept talking about going to Camp and catching another snake," his mom said. "I can't even get him to leave his room, so for him to talk about going to Camp is huge. We were so grateful to be back."
Colby and his mom are one of thousands of families who experience "a different kind of healing" through Hole in the Wall's year-round programs. Whether at Camp, in hospitals, in camper homes or in local communities, these brave children and their families find joy and a supportive community that understands their unique challenges.
All Hole in the Wall programming is provided at no cost to families, thanks to a caring community of thousands of donors each year who have all made Founder Paul Newman's dream their own. Whether through a one-time gift, a recurring payroll deduction or monthly gift, these generous friends help provide hope and "a different kind of healing" to children with serious illnesses and their families throughout the Northeast and mid-Atlantic.
As Paul Newman once said, "The need is great, and so are the opportunities to make a difference – one smile at a time."
Support The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp through your employee giving program:
As a donor, you can support The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp by donating to them through your employer's workplace giving program (CFC#10704 if you're a military or federal employee participating in the Combined Federal Campaign).

We provide holistic care that focuses on all aspects of an elderly's life. Care plans for each resident are reviewed with a focus on physical and mental health, social activities, cognitive abilities, functional ability, nutrition and personal needs. We maintain streamlined documentation on each resident and also believe in transparent reporting to the families.
At Epoch, we provide high-quality, person-centered care that enables residents to live meaningful lives. We cater to each individual's preferences and respect their choices throughout the continuum of care.
We provide a supportive atmosphere, frequent one-to-one attention, and a calendar full of activities to ensure each resident is socially engaged.

Prices also vary depending on the level of care your elderly loved one needs. The pricing includes round the clock care, ADL support, nutrition, activities and housekeeping.
Good care comes at a price. In India's nascent assisted living industry, many believe that good care can be attained for as little as 20 or 30 thousand rupees / month. However, as operators we can confidently say that that is not true - especially if you would like an experienced, educated and adequately staffed team to care for your elderly loved ones. We request you to please carefully consider if our offering is financially feasible for you and your elderly loved ones.
Below is the basic pricing structure with low levels of care (care ratio 1 : 3). Actual pricing would be decided only after the medical assessment is done by the nursing team.
*Monet Home does not have Twin Sharing facility.
Long term stay requires residents to sign an 11 month contract. Short term stay prices apply for any time frame less than 11 months with a minimum of 1 month. Single occupancy is when one senior resides in their own room. Double occupancy is when 2 seniors are in one room (e.g., husband and wife). Twin sharing is when a senior will share a room with another senior.
Upon admission residents are also required to provide Rs. 2,00,000 as a one-time refundable security deposit.
Petty cash, travel, medical fees and other expenses are also not included and are billed separately.
Prices are subject to escalation on an annual basis.
Moving in to an assisted living is a difficult decision and we at Epoch will be there to assist you at every step. The admission process has been designed in a manner to facilitate the decision making process and familiarise the elderly with our homes. It includes all the steps from viewing of home to finalising transition details to paperwork.
Our team will work closely with you to assist you through each of the following eight stages of admission.

Football News: Liverpool Player Ratings thus far during the 2018/19 Football Season
Question for Ed001, if I may, I was just thinking about the season thus far and which players have made a positive contribution and which ones have not. Can I ask you to give us your assessment so far (even though we are only 2/3 of the way through)? But do it in the same fashion that you do the individual player ratings for games, in terms of who has been a plus for the season so far, and who has taken away from the season. (For example a rating above 5 for Salah and VVD, but below 5 for Keita for the season - my opinion)
I'll understand if you feel it is premature and prefer to do it at the end of the season.
ArAy1969
Alisson - to just base his score purely on shots saved, passes made etc would woefully undervalue his contribution to the team. His value is almost inestimable as he has turned a defence that was shaky, even at the end of last season with the addition of van Dijk, into one that is extremely strong, even when decimated by injuries. His mere presence has made a massive difference. Add that to his ability to actually make saves, unlike the last 2 keepers, and play out from the back and you have a huge lift to the team. Rating - 8.
Mignolet - though he has not played many times, those times he has played have been an instant reminder of how glad LFC fans should be that he is no longer first choice. It is still beyond my understanding how he made it to the Premier League in the first place. The only reason his rating is not lower is because of how little he has featured! Rating - 2.
van Dijk - at times he is utterly majestic, though does still have the odd game when he strolls around or moment within games when he falls completely asleep. At his best when he works alongside Gomez and has to talk him through games, rather than a more experienced partner. That seems to keep him more alert and on top of his game. Rating - 8.
Gomez - if only he had not suffered the broken ankle Liverpool would probably not be struggling right now. He has become that important to the team due to his excellent performances this season. One for the future certainly, but he is also one for right now! Rating - 7.5.
Lovren - too many injuries have left him unable to contribute much to the team at all. Rating - 5.5.
Matip - One thing that the injury to Gomez did do is give Matip even more time on the pitch, rather than just the last few minutes. Unfortunately, he was already hindering the team in just those few minutes, so all that has happened is that he has become even more of a hindrance. Rating - 1.5.
Robertson - I would have had him down as having a good season just two matches ago, but now he has suddenly become a liability. Still works his socks off and gets forward well, but his crossing has become hopeless and he is trying far too hard to make up for his mistake against Leicester. Once he gets that out of his system, I am sure he will be much better. Rating - 6.
Moreno - he has reverted back to the hopeless case that first joined and gave away chances with stupid attempts to make a challenge. Luckily he plays very rarely now. Rating - 2.
Alexander-Arnold - his game has come on in leaps and bounds this season and he is very rarely the defensive liability he was last season at times. Teams have still tried to target him, but he has been much better at dealing with it. Without his pace and ability on the ball down the right, Liverpool have looked lop-sided in attack and have struggled to create the opportunities. Rating - 7.5.
Fabinho - it took him a while to establish himself in the team, but he is now showing why Klopp wanted to sign him in the summer. His importance to the team's play has been growing in the last few weeks. Rating - 7.
Keita - he has not yet managed to establish himself fully, but his performances are improving and he is beginning to show signs of real quality. Rating - 5.
Wijnaldum - this season he has made himself almost indispensable to the team with some of his performances. If only he could keep his level at its best more often, but too often he will play within himself. Some of his performances have been top class this season, and his absence has been hugely noticeable since he was out. Rating - 8.5.
Henderson - hugely influential when fit, but he does struggle to play two games in quick succession sadly. His fitness issues are severely hampering his effectiveness to the team. Rating - 6.5.
Milner - prior to picking up an injury, Milner was absolutely sensational and having the season of his life. Since his return to fitness he has been nothing like the same level, but back to his usual steady performances, in the main. Rating - 7.
Lallana - he has always been known for his tendency to slow down the play, make Cruyff turn after Cruyff turn and pirouette like a trainee ballet bancer giving defences time to reorganise and get the kettle on for their half time cuppa, book their summer hols and look up the name of that guy in that film they watched last night that they knew they recognised but can't quite remember his name. However for one short period under Klopp all that went out of the window as he finally figured out how to play it quick and not take an extra 45 touches when 1 would do, then he suffered a long term injury.
Since his return, he has not only been back to the dancing feet, extra touches and wearingly repetitive Cruyff turns, but he has also lost the ability to work hard and 5 yards of pace. Lallana has gone from a very good player that just needs to move the ball quicker (and stop shouting his mouth in media interviews about what he and the team will do) to a player that is a full-on liability and like playing with a man down. (For the ball to Milner though it should have been offside). Rating - 1.
Mane - had an up and down season but has contributed his fair share of goals, as well as providing excellent protection to the full back behind him. On his day he is totally unplayable but he has not had any of those so far this season. The odd good game is all he has managed, it is just not happening for him this season. Rating - 6.5.
Salah - scoring goals but only showing flashes of the Salah from last season. When he scores as many goals as he does, and works so well for the team, then there is little to complain about. It is not as if he is bad now, he is just not sensational like last season. He has set the bar impossibly high and has no chance of reaching it regularly. Rating - 7.5
Shaqiri - started off brilliantly but his performances and workrate have tailed off as the season went on. He has been so off the pace that he has been relegated back to the bench. Really needs to get back to the levels he was showing early in the season. Rating - 6.
Firmino - took a while to get back to full fitness after the World Cup and it has really affected his form. Firmino, like Mane and Salah, has only shown flashes of what he can do. However, when he does have a good game, so does the team. Rating - 6.5.
Sturridge - started the season with a couple of short cameo goals and then has been absolutely abysmal ever since. Since those early weeks he has been a hindrance to the team every time he is on the pitch. Rating - 2.5.
Origi - started the season completely out of favour but gradually worked his way back into the squad. Has had little time on the pitch, but his goal against Everton at the death is enough to make the rest of his season a bonus! Unfortunately, in the little time he has had Origi has struggled to make an impact. Rating - 5.5.

Caribbean artists raise their voices for climate justice
Updated: 11 Aug 2015 - 06:58AM
Award-winning St. Lucian poet Kendel Hippolyte says human beings would treat the environment differently if they see the Earth as their "mother". (Credit: Kenton X. Chance/IPS)
By Kenton X. Chance
CASTRIES, St. Lucia (IPS) — Award-winning St. Lucian poet and playwright Kendel Hippolyte thinks that Caribbean nationals should view the Earth as their mother.
"For me, the whole thing is so basic: the earth that we are living on and in is our mother and there are ways that we are supposed to treat our mother and relate to our mother," the 64-year-old, who has won the St. Lucia Medal of Merit (Gold) for Contribution to the Arts, told IPS.
Caribbean residents are expected to accord the highest levels of respect to their mothers. Therefore, Hippolyte's approach could see many of the region's nationals engaged in more individual actions to adapt to and mitigate against climate change.
"And if we deal with our mother as a person is supposed to deal with his or her mother, then so much falls into place," Hippolyte told IPS at a climate change conference last month dubbed "Voices and Imagination United for Climate Justice".
Hippolyte is one of several artists from across the Caribbean who have agreed to use their social and other influences to educate Caribbean residents about climate change and what actions they can take as individuals.
The conference focused on the establishment of an informal grouping of Caribbean artists and journalists who will be suitably briefed and prepared to add their voice — individually or collectively — to advocacy and awareness campaigns, with an initial focus on the climate change talks in Paris in December.
The artists include Trinidad and Tobago calypsonian David Michael Rudder, who is celebrated for songs like "Haiti", a tribute to the glory and suffering of Haiti, and "Rally 'Round the West Indies", which became the anthem of Caribbean's cricket.
British-born, Barbados-based soca artist Alison Hinds and Gamal "Skinny Fabulous" Doyle of St. Vincent and the Grenadines have also signed on to the effort.
Ahead of the 2015 climate change summit in Paris this year, Caribbean negotiators are seeking the support of the region's artists in spreading the message of climate justice.
They say that the region has contributed minimally to climate change, but, as small island developing states (SIDS), is being most affected most its negative impacts.
Countries that have contributed most to climate change, the argument goes, must help SIDS to finance mitigation and adaption efforts.
St. Lucia's Minister of Sustainable Development, Energy, Science and Technology, James Fletcher, told IPS that at the world climate change talks in Paris this year, SIDS will be pushing for a strong, legally-binding climate accord that will keep global temperature rise to between 1.5 and 2 degree Celsius above pre-industrialisation levels.
Caribbean negotiators have put this redline into very stark terms, using the rubric "1.5 to stay alive".
If global temperature rise is capped at 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrialisation temperatures, most countries in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) — a 15-member bloc including Guyana and Suriname on the South American mainland, Jamaica in the northern Caribbean, and Belize in Central America — will still see their total annual rainfall decrease between 10 and 20 per cent, Fletcher says.
And even with a 2-degree Celsius cap, the Caribbean is projected to experience greater sea level rise than most areas of the world, he tells IPS.
He says that some models predict that a 2-degree Celsius rise in global temperatures will lead to a one-metre sea level rise in the Caribbean.
Caribbean negotiators say capping global temperature rise at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrialisation levels is necessary to protect infrastructure, such as in Kingstown, the capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Credit: Kenton X. Chance/IPS
This will translate to the loss of 1,300 square kilometres of land — equivalent to the areas of Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines combined, Fletcher told IPS.
Over 110,000 people, a number equivalent to the population of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, will be displaced.
In a region highly dependent on tourism, 149 tourism resorts will be damaged, five power plants will be either damaged or destroyed, 1 per cent of all agricultural land will be lost, 21 airports will be damaged or destroyed, land surrounding 21 CARICOM airports will be damaged or destroyed, and 567 kilometres of roads will be lost.
The countries of the Caribbean, famous for sun, sea and sand, have at the national level been rushing to implement mitigation and adaptation measures.
But Hippolyte believes that there is much that can be done at the individual level and says while a lot of information is available to Caribbean nationals, there needs to be a shift in attitude.
"A lot of the information about what we need to do is out there, but in a way, it is here, it is in the brain," he says, pointing to his head.
"And to me, where I see the arts coming in, and where I see myself and other artists coming in to take the information, the knowledge," he says, pointing again to his head, "and to bring it here — into the heart," he says.
"And if that information goes into the heart, then it goes out into the hands and into the body into what we do and what we actually don't do," Hippolyte tells IPS.
Speaking at the climate justice event, Didacus Jules, director general of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), a nine-member political and economic sub-group within CARICOM, told IPS that "justice lies in the protection of the vulnerable whether they be the individual poor or the marginal state".
Most of the infrastructure in small island development states is along the coast and threatened by sea level rise, Jules points out.
"The negative impacts of climate change are also influencing how we interact with each other as a people given that we have to compete for limited resources," he tells IPS.
"The climate justice message must therefore be spread in every corner of this region (the Caribbean) and not only promoted by global media that does not always have the interests of SIDS at the forefront."
He says that Caribbean artists can play a role in spreading the message of climate justice.
"We have seen the power of our Caribbean artists and musicians. Caribbean music is a global force with an impact outlasting any hurricane that we have experienced," Jules said.
He said that despite the vulnerabilities and challenges that SIDS face, "rallying in the region by using our voices can send a strong signal to let the world know that we are fully aware of the implications of not having a legally binding international agreement on climate change and the impacts it can have on SIDS in our region.
"The bottom line is that the impacts of climate change threaten our very existence," Jules tells IPS.
"We will clamour if we must, but they will hear us — 1.5 to Stay Alive! The Alliance of Small Island States has made it clear that it wants below 1.5° Celcius reflected as a long-term temperature goal and benchmark for the level of global climate action in the Paris agreement this year," Jules said.

One reply on "Caribbean artists raise their voices for climate justice"
C. ben-David says:
First World leaders will never destroy the lives of tens of thousands of their citizens (and voters) whose jobs would be lost to mitigate the hypothetical effects of global warming, a phenomenon that science may soon show has more to do with solar activity than human activity.
Also since many northern countries which are believed to be the main producers of rising temperatures would benefit from longer summers, higher temperatures, and increased rainfall — more agricultural production and more crop diversification — don't count for much more than a lot of empty rhetoric and false promises from them.
So keep singing and playing till Kingdom come or — for the weed smoking and ganja growing boosters among these Rasta musicians — do your part by discouraging the destruction of the forests to produce your kali herb.


SAN'A, Yemen – A group of prominent Muslim clerics is warning it will call for jihad, or holy war, if the U.S. sends troops to fight Al Qaeda in Yemen.
Their warning goes straight to the Yemeni government's dilemma in cooperating with Washington against an Al Qaeda offshoot in the country. In doing so, the regime must avoid upsetting al-Zindani and other radical figures whose support it needs to stay in power.

Q: Google calendar push notification : Unauthorized webhook call Currently we are in the process of developing one iPhone application that deals with google calendar. There was need of syncing calendar events to the server side. Everything works fine.
But for push notification , we are following this process
Whenever we post request to :
    https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/email@gmail.com/events/watch
with parameters
"id":Unique string ( channel id) ,
"type": "web_hook",
"address": "https://abc-api.herokuapp.com/user/notifications"

In the header , we are sending
Authorization : **Bearer 'Access_token'**

and content type : json
We already added domain as authorized domain in the google api console
Access_token is user's account access token .
We are getting "Unauthorized webhook call" error.
    {
  "error": {
    "errors": [
      {
        "domain": "global",
        "reason": "push.webhookUrlUnauthorized",
        "message": "Unauthorized WebHook callback channel: https://abc-api.herokuapp.com/user/notifications"
      }
    ],
    "code": 401,
    "message": "Unauthorized WebHook callback channel: https://abc-api.herokuapp.com/user/notifications"
  }
}

Anyone here who can help us to solve the issue ?

A: You might want to check this post, providing solution like verifying if your domain have a valid (not self-signed) SSL license. Also in google-api-php-client GitHub, instead of setting https://example.com/google/push (resulted in Unauthorized WebHook callback channel) or https://www.example.com/google/push (allowed me to successfully open channel, and object has been returned, however webhook has not been fired) as address they tried https://www.example.com/google/push/index.php and worked.

A: One potential issue is if you're testing in Google's "try it" section of the documentation. It's not stated, but this particular request does not work there.
Otherwise, there are a few things that need to happen with the domain you are supplying in the address. First, you need to make sure its verified in the google developers console for the application you are hitting the api with. Additionally, you need to add the website property to your search console (even if its just an api) and verify ownership.
Also, once you get past the unauthorized address issue, you will get another error requiring a resourceId be supplied.


Vanessa Chase is a fundraising and communications strategist with a love of great stories. She started TheStorytellingNonprofit.com to help nonprofits connect in more meaningful ways with donors through stories and stewardship.
There are millions of nonprofit organizations in the U.S., many of which have similar causes and missions. But to most donors, these organizations are indistinguishable. As a nonprofit, this is a frustrating fact to deal with.
We want to grow our reach and raise more money, but it's just not happening. Why? Because too few organizations are capitalizing on the interesting, value-added content they could be adding to their communications.
Incorporating content, like blogging, into your fundraising and communications strategy is what can help your organization stand out from the crowd. It will enhance your organization's brand and personality, make every interaction a memorable one for your audience and consistently communicate your message with impact.
Time and time again, I hear from organizations that they want more people to give to their cause or that they want to create more awareness about an issue. Yet, very few of them proactively do anything to get attention. Instead, they stay the usual course. The essential problem with this is that it's very hard for anyone to find out about your organization if you're not making yourself more visible.
The beauty of marketing your organization online is that making a gift could be just one click away. But in order to trigger that gift, you must engage the audience. There are numerous ways to be marketing your cause online, but leveraging content marketing is by far the most valuable. Blogging is a great way to showcase your organization's expertise and provide value to the people who read the posts. Furthermore, as you grow your reach and your audience there will be a larger potential donor pool to tap for your next campaign.
I add in the caveat of "most" because keeping a blog isn't perfect for every organization, although it is worth considering. Nonprofits have tons of interesting content at their fingertips that would be enjoyed by donors and potential donor alike. This includes stories, updates from events, behind the scenes look at programs, opinions on local news relevant to the cause and more. Sharing the knowledge with potential supporters through blog posts is a way to develop their knowledge about, affinity towards, and trust in your organization.
Is there a subject matter that your nonprofit could be consider an "expert" in?
Would your organization be willing to share that information with others?
Are you amicable to the idea of "lifting the veil" to give people an inside look at your organization?
Is there a person or team who could coordinate the blog?
Make no mistake – blogging can be a lot of work! But with good teamwork, coordination and strategy, your organization can create a blog that people love to read!

This is your most important knowledge asset when it comes to any communications endeavor. You must know who your intended audience is if you want to be effective in communicating to them. One of best tools for this is to create an audience profile.
Once you know who you want to target with your blog posts, creating content becomes much easier. Start by brainstorming a list of topics that you think your target audience would enjoy. Then start collecting content and ideas for blog posts with this in mind. If you don't think your audience would like it, then don't publish it!
One of the keys to successful blogging is to be as consistent as possible. You want to form a habit for your readers – like expecting your posts on certain days. Then they will remember to hop on over to your blog or will be more likely to open emails they receive that announce new blog posts.
Just because you write it, doesn't mean that they will come. Once you've hit "publish" on your blog post there is more work to be done. Schedule posts for your social media websites to publicize your posts to a bigger audience. Send out an email to your email list once a month to tell them about your new content.
Be sure to incorporate ways for your audience to provide your organization with feedback about blog posts. This is the best way to improve your blog content because then you will be able to create more of what your audience really wants to hear.
By creating a blog that your donors love and look forward to reading, you will be building a community around your cause and increasing engagement prior to your next campaign.

Now wait till the paint starts to blister or soften on the surface. Hold the metal patti with both hands as shown in figure & scratch the surface hard by using one of it longer edges.
Note: This job is done best by the painters, in-case you hurt yourself. Clean the brush with thinner as you will need it again.
Rub the surface lightly with the sandpaper to remove loose paint & wood splinters.
Now make a paste of 250 gm chalk powder with powder with water. Add 100 gm of yellow wood powder to it to get the base for a honey coloured wooden finish. Add another 50 gm of turkey umber powder for a dark walnut – coloured polish. Add 40 ml of white glue to this mixture as a binder. Mix well by using two metal pattis to get a thick granule – free sticky paste.
Apply a thin layer of this paste (called wood putty or filler) mixture to the uneven surface of the wooden box with help of metal patti. Rub the metal patti on the surface to remove excess paste. This process will help to fill cracks & leaving a thin coloured film on the surface.
Note: Avoid attaining visibly thick layers as they will develop cracks later. Make sure you cover all the variations on the wood surface. Wipe your hands with clean cloth.
Allow the wooden box surface to dry for couple of hours.

Pour 1 litre of furniture polish into a wide mouthed container. Take a piece of clean cloth and put 60 gm of Turkey Umber powder in the centre. Hold the loose ends of the cloth such that the powder gets encased in a cloth bulb. Dip this way the colour will filter its way into the polish. Repeat this process with 20 gm of black surma powder.
Make a small cloth pillow and dip it into the polish solution. Lightly squeeze the excess liquid and apply a thin coat of this liquid on the wood surface. Move from right to left (edge to edge) in parallel overlapping bands to cover the entire surface. Never stop in the middle or else tint polish stains will remain visible after it dries. Though each coat of polish is extremely thin and transparent, successive layers will add to the sheen and colour of the surface. In case the moisture in the air is low, polish coats will dry quickly. Apply two coats and then create the wood – grain design on the surface.
Take the old paintbrush. Cut the bristles to create it teeth – like formations.
Mix about 10 gm of surma powder in 50 ml of polish as demonstrated in Step 7. Dip the brush in the polish and wipe off excess liquid with a clean piece of cloth.
Run the brush over the – polished wood surface to create a wood grain like pattern. You can also use a small paintbrush to touch up the pattern.
Apply some of the remaining furniture polish from Step 8 in the same fashion using the cloth pillow. Make sure each coat is thin & light.
You will get the new look of the wooden box which you can further use for other purposes in your house.
