17+ Fun and awesome Advent Calendars for Kids. These aren't any ordinary advent calendars! They're fun and engaging and they'll make the countdown to Christmas all the more special for children.
Counting down the days to Christmas is an exciting tradition especially if there are young children in the family. The lead up to Christmas is such an exciting time for little ones and an advent calendar always makes the December countdown extra-special.
When my boys were little, I always bought the ordinary advent calendars sold at the grocery store. They were made of lightweight cardboard, and had a festive Christmas scene on the front, and the boys would pop open a little, perforated door every day to find the small piece of chocolate hiding behind it.
These calendars were very simple but my boys would get so excited as December drew closer, asking "how many days until we get our advents, Mom?" Then they would excitedly count down the days until they could have them. We almost needed an advent calendar for our advent calendars. Ha!
Well, advent calendars have changed, let me tell you, and there are some pretty incredible ones out there today.
All of these interactive and fun advent calendars make me wish I could go back in time, and do it all over again with my kids. I know my boys would have LOVED some of the advent calendars I'm sharing here today.
I've rounded up a whole bunch of my favourite advent calendars to share with you. Some of these calendars are quite traditional, some are non-traditional, and some are based on the nativity.
These calendars all have one thing in common though; they'll make counting down the days to Christmas Day a whole lot of fun for your kids.
And what's great about most of these advent calendars is that they'll live on long after Christmas has passed. Many are filled with toys and goodies your children can enjoy year 'round. Some of these calendars can be re-used year after year, becoming an important part of the special memories your family creates together each Christmas season.
I hope you like this collection as much as I do, and I hope you'll find one that your child will love.
For your convenience, I've provided my Amazon affiliate link for each of these products. That way you can simply click through to purchase if you wish to. You can click on the image or on the link below it to view the calendar on Amazon.
A word of advice though: whether you're buying your advent calendar through the links here today or somewhere else online, be sure to do it early. They sell out quickly. Every year, I share these calendars on my Facebook page in weeks leading up to Christmas, and I often hear from disappointed followers that many are sold out by mid-November.

For my first Game In A Day Project I chose to re-implement the classic game, Sokoban. It is written in C++ using cocos2d-x.
My next Game In A Day was written as an entry to the Ludum Dare 48 Hour Game Making Contest #23 on 21st/22nd April 2012 for the theme "Tiny World". It took slightly longer than a day to create but I've included it here anyway. It is written in ActionScript using the FlashPunk library.
Spaceship Dogfight is a quick game I put together to learn more about programming in Unity.
I developed the Bead Game Prototype over a couple of days, although in total I think I probably spent less than a day's hours on it. It made for an interesting learning experience, even though it didn't work out as well as I'd have liked. It is written in C# using Unity.
Hex was written for Ludum Dare #30. It was written in C++ using the SDL library.

Tonight's guest, Ken Roberts, had an encounter behind his home, in rural Arkansas, when he was growing up. That experience was a life-changing event for him. Ever since then, he's been obsessed with the topic of Sasquatch. Every chance he got, he'd read every book on the topic he could get his hands on and watch every show he could find on the topic. A lot of people think they're just a myth, but Ken knows Sasquatch is real!

Facebook Messenger launches video calling
Christian Zibreg on April 27, 2015
Merely a week after flipping the switch on audio calling in the popular WhatsApp service, Facebook today started rolling out video calling to its Messenger app on iOS and across other mobile platforms.
As you know, Messenger already offers people the ability to make voice calls to friends around the world. By enabling cross-platform video calling across the ubiquitous messaging service, which commands 600 million users, the firm has enabled users to engage in face-to-face conversations with their friends and the people they care about, regardless of the platform of their choice.
Video calling in Messenger is "fast, reliable and high quality," noted Facebook. It's available via a dedicated phone icon in the upper right, as show on the screenshot below.
"If you're messaging with someone and realize that words just aren't enough, you can simply choose the video icon in the top right corner of the screen and start a video call right from within an existing Messenger conversation," said the Menlo Park, California headquartered firm.
Not only can you place video calls to other Messenger users on the iPhone and iPad, but also to those who use Android, making cross-platform video chats a reality.
Show further below: the in-call screen.
Video calling is launching today, April 27, for Facebook Messenger users on iOS and Android in Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Laos, Lithuania, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the United States and Uruguay.
Check out the promotional video below.
"We'll be rolling out to other regions and locales over the coming months," said the firm.

its sons and daughters and all of you"
From year to year the good news of the Resurrection resounds victoriously, encouraging us to render praise to God and the Saviour, who has trampled down death by death and has made us co-participants in the life eternal which is to come.
As we celebrate this �Feast of feasts and Triumph of triumphs,� it is with a special spiritual feeling that we recall the redemptive act of the Saviour of the world, his sufferings on the Cross and bright resurrection. Pascha is not some beautiful legend, not some theoretical theology and not a nod towards a popular custom established in the distant past. It is the essence and kernel of Christianity. It is the victory that God has granted to us.
From the time of the apostles and up to the present the Church has preached Christ�s resurrection as the greatest miracle in the history of humanity. She speaks of this miracle not only as a fact of the Gospels, but � and what is especially important � as a moment of destiny for all those who have received the Paschal good news. This feast bears the most direct relationship to us, for Christ�s resurrection, the Lord�s redemption of the fallen world, is the greatest joy which the human person can experience. No matter how difficult our life, no matter what everyday troubles besiege us, no matter what grief and imperfections we have to endure from the world around us � all of this is nothing in comparison to the spiritual joy, to the hope of eternal salvation that God gives us.
As St. Paul says, �he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken our mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in us� (cf. Rom 8:11).
On the radiant day of Christ�s resurrection the souls of millions of the faithful are replete with thanksgiving to the Creator, and our earthly life acquires true meaning. Christ�s Passover is the greatest triumph of life, the triumph over death bringing love, peace and spiritual transformation.
In celebrating Pascha we each time open up a new period in our lives, for the risen Lord renews human nature, fortifies us in tribulations, and grants to us the strength to accomplish good deeds.
The Paschal message, which has transformed the whole course of world history, encourages us to be morally transformed, to be spiritually renewed, which is so essential for modern-day society. It reminds all people of the sources of Christianity, as well as of the coming eternal Kingdom where �God may be all in all� (1 Cor 15:28).
During these radiant days of the Paschal feast we are called upon to share our joy with our relatives and those close to us, to show them active love and mercy. Such are the traditions sanctified over the centuries, and in following them we testify to our participation in Christ�s heritage and belief that the Lord has truly risen.
Now, as before, the Russian Orthodox Church diligently carries out her saving mission, tirelessly proclaiming God�s truth, affirming the importance of the Gospel commandments, calling for peace and harmony, serving the spiritual unity of nations living in the countries under the pastoral care of the Moscow Patriarchate.
Our special prayer today is for the peoples of Russia and Ukraine that peace will reign in the minds and hearts of our brothers and sisters by blood and in faith so that the ties that have been lost and co-operation which is so needed may be restored.
In proclaiming the love of God which surpasses all knowledge (cf. Eph 3:19), Christianity brings people together by overcoming national, cultural and state boundaries, for �the light of Christ illumines all� (cf. Jn 1:9).
May the light of Christ�s glory that has shone forth from the Life-bearing Tomb abide with us and illumine our hearts, extending to those who are close to us and those far removed from us, and upon all who are in need of our care and support.
In congratulating all of you on the great feast of Holy Pascha, I prayerfully wish for you generous spiritual gifts, physical strength and the gracious aid which is from above in the triumphant journeying with Christ. Amen.
President Vladimir Putin wished Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia a happy Easter.
�During these joyous days, it is particularly gratifying to realise that Easter is celebrated widely and festively, that every year more and more people strive to learn about the spiritual values and moral sources of Orthodoxy. Your wisdom, high prestige and genuinely selfless service for the good of the Russian Orthodox Church and all of Russia have played an important role in this. I would like to express my deep gratitude for your support and overall vision of the problems our nation faces.
On May 24, 2013, the chairman of the Russian Federation Government, D. A. Medvedev, met with His Beatitude Theophilos, Patriarch of Jerusalem and all Palestine, at the Church of Christ the Saviour. The head of the Russian Government welcomed His Beatitude who has come on a visit to the Russian Orthodox Church and participated in the celebrations on the occasion of the Days of Slavic Literature and Culture.
After meeting with Patriarch Theophilos, Ms. Medvedev had a talk with the Primates of the Churches of Jerusalem and Russia.

"The Spiritual Unity of Our Church Already Exists—Structural Unity is a Matter of Time."I think that potentially, a merger can occur, for instance, of two parishes in a single city, as has already happened in Australia, in the city of Newcastle, New South Wales. The believers of the already-united St Nicholas Parish live together, and, I should note, live amicably. As far as the proposed unification of separate parishes in Germany, I believe that this decision is entirely in the hands of the ecclesiastical authorities. With time, of course, discussions can be held on this matter. At the same time, it is my opinion that there is no need to hurry in this direction. Such complicated matters must be decided upon peacefully, cautiously, and most of all, with love.
I went for many years, not having been Orthodox yet. So the impulse to accept Orthodoxy arose in me, but I was afraid of the reaction of my relatives, and so I put off that decision. But at age twenty I finally became Orthodox. Some twelve years later I was tonsured a monk.
The Russian Cultural Center in Jericho will become "the first major project in the Holy Land in the third millennium that was actively taken up by the Russian state." Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.
With a giant trunk and boughs towering 60 feet high, a gnarled sycamore near Jericho's main square has long been touted as the very tree that the hated tax collector climbed to get a glimpse of Jesus. The tree, once tucked obscurely away on a side street, is a featured attraction of a Russian-funded museum complex to be unveiled this month as part of Jericho's 10,000th birthday celebrations.

Danny Amendola -- Tight end Rob Gronkowski summed it up best when he said, "He's just Danny 'Playoff' Amendola." Amendola finished with 11 catches for 112 yards, making this his first career postseason game eclipsing the 100-yard mark. "He's kind of a guy you take for granted, but he delivered a lot tonight, as he always does," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.
Tom Brady -- He finished 35-of-53 for 337 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions, breaking the NFL playoff record for most games with three or more touchdown passes, with 10. "Tom did a great job managing the game, got us into some good plays, or out of some bad situations," Belichick said.
Dion Lewis -- With 15 rushes for 62 yards and nine catches for 79 yards, his playmaking prowess continues to be vital. The offense was struggling to sustain drives until Lewis provided a spark early in the second quarter with a 31-yard catch-and-run.
Josh McDaniels/Matt Patricia -- One of the questions that some ask when coordinators interview for head-coaching jobs is how they balance their responsibilities, and it was a point Belichick highlighted in his opening postgame remarks. "I thought our coaching staff, in particular the coordinators, [it was] a busy week for them, but they did a great job," Belichick said. Both units were ready to play.
Run defense/pass rush/coverage -- Strong play against the run created 12 third-down situations in which the Titans needed 7 yards or more, which in turn created more pass-rush opportunities. The Patriots set a franchise record with eight sacks, and part of the reason they were able to do that was solid coverage, led by cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
Offensive line -- Brady dropped back to pass 53 times and wasn't sacked once. That's a job well done by left tackle Nate Solder, left guard Joe Thuney, center David Andrews, right guard Shaq Mason, and right tackles LaAdrian Waddle and Cameron Fleming.
Brandin Cooks -- The wide receiver was targeted nine times and finished with three catches for 32 yards. He still seems to be searching for a consistent connection with Brady. That's not all on Cooks, though, as Brady could sometimes deliver a more accurate football in his direction.
Special-teams penalties -- Lawrence Guy (holding on a punt return), Nicholas Grigsby (holding on a punt return) and Brandon King (unnecessary roughness on kickoff coverage) were all hit with penalties.


Itís all quite reminiscent of the early 1990s when the grim, unbending Tories, led by John Major, aided by his Chancellor Norman Lamont, decided that sterling should shadow the mighty Deutschemark at DM 3 to GBP 1.
At what cost? Interest rates soared to 15 per cent and were held at this level for 18 months with John Major remarking if it isnít hurting, it isnít working. House prices crashed, millions of home owners were left in negative equity (with the mortgage being greater than the market price of the property securing it) and thousands of businesses went bust.
Currency speculators like Soros made by billions by betting on a sure thing ñ that sterling would fall. And fall it did, bringing about the economy recovery of which we are now seeing the tail end.
This time round the Bank of England, acting in concert with other world banks, is trying to shore up the global supply of credit. Market forces will prove them wrong as they make billions of hard currencies available to commercial banks, bailing out the latter from the bad banking practices they have fallen into, such as lending money to borrowers who canít afford a mortgage or the 1.8 million Britons now struggling to pay interest on theirs.
In Britain, a record number of families is now having to pay over one fifth of their salaries in debt repayment ñ higher than it was in 1991. UK mortgage rates have soared as attractive fixed price mortgages, handed out so freely a couple of years back at minuscule rates of interest, move to variable rates two or three times as high.
Not even the worldís central banks can defy market forces for long in order to prop up the housing market in the USA and Britain along with the cash needed by the worldís commercial banks, with inflation rising, the oil price and food prices hitting new records and recession in the USA spilling into other developed economies. During 2008 we will see market forces make a mockery of central bank interference.
The UK stockmarket continues its roller coaster ride with sudden deep drops followed by equally precipitous rises, as investors continue to ignore fundamentals and pursue rumours of the latest bid about to be launched, chase up the mining and commodity stocks where prices are rising fastest, and lodge parts of their portfolios in safe, defensive stocks such as pharmaceuticals on the premise that illness, like taxes, is always with us.
2008 promises to be an interesting year ñ a Happy New Year to you, and a prosperous one too.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has hit trouble in the US, which saw its share price fall by GBP 0.21 to rest at GBP 13.02.
Cervarix, a potential block buster vaccine for cervical cancer, has run into a delay problem with the US drug regulators. The vaccine has been handed over to an offshoot of the FDA until GSK scientists answer a number of questions about the product.
This is a major boost to Merck & Coís Gardasil, the main competitor to Cervarix, which has been given the green light in the US and will be used to immunise large numbers of women every year.
Gardasil is already seeing sales of GBP 738m a year. The go slow tactics by the FDA could delay the launch of Cervarix in the US, which had been scheduled for September 2008. This means it would miss the key tenders for purchase by the US health authorities.
Cervarix has been approved in 45 countries including the 27 EU member countries.
Novartis has confirmed that it is slashing 2,500 jobs around the globe over the next two years to produce annual savings of USD 1.6bn by 2010.
There is speculation that Novartis will cut its 4,500 strong work force in the UK. Most of the staff in the region is based at Novartisí pharmaceuticals offices at Frimley in Surrey and at the R&D centre at Horsham in Surrey.
Novartis is adapting to new sales method around the world and also copying its rivals who are a reducing staff numbers by a combined total of 34,000.
The main casualty will be the massive number of sales staff. Novartis wants to reduce job numbers as a result of staff leaving naturally but doesnít rule out redundancies.
ReNeuron posted a pre-tax loss of GBP 3.1m on sales of GBP 4,000 for the half year to end 30 September 2007, compared with a loss of GBP 3.3m on sales of GBP 42,000 in the same period in the previous year.
ReNeuron has recently scooped up the assets of AmCyte for GBP 1.9m to give it more ways to create revenue from its technology.
ReNeuron is fighting to become the first company to be carrying out clinical-stage research for stem cell treatment for a major neurological disorder. Soon it will hear from the USFDA, as to whether it has gained approval to test its main product, REN001, on human patients. REN001 uses stem cell technology to treat strokes.
Tests on rats have demonstrated REN001 can reverse the effects of a stroke when key dosage levels are reached. The market is worried about the companyís rate of cash burn, as ReNeuron is some two years away from clinical testing which would, if its treatment is shown to work, enable Reneuron to clinch a major deal.
The company, which has cash of GBP 5.7m, has the Saudi Arabian fund Saad Investments as a 30 per cent shareholder standing in the wings.
Reckitt Benckiser has buttressed its medical division by buying Adams Respiratory Therapeutics of the US for GBP 1.1bn.
Adamsí biggest seller is Mucinex, a drug for easing lung congestion. Reckitt bought Bootsí OTC medical business for GBP 2bn a couple of years ago and is aiming to roll out Adams Respiratory medicines around the globe.
The deal will also make it easier to sell Reckittís existing brands into the US. The market liked the look of the deal and the companyís share price rose GBP 0.59 to GBP 29.83.

Wedding Loan from syndicate Bank in Nizamabad
Nizamabad is the 3rd largest city in the Indian state of Telangana. The name of the city is derived from the word Nizam that refers to the Nizam of Hyderabad and Abad which means Long Live in Urdu. The city is sometimes also referred to as The City of Nizams. The city was founded in the year 1905 when the Nizams Dominion was recognized. It was known as Indur earlier.

If I have questions for God, they need to be the right ones, and I need have no doubt whatsoever that God will answer me and tell me what I need to know and do in order to tap into his power to endure. What I will certainly need to learn is to trust him more and not less, to stop depending on my feelings, and to develop my faith. And what I must ask the Lord is, "What do I say to others who question me about my misfortunes?" If I ask God these sorts of questions, I can have every assurance that he will answer me.
It's quite all right to ask God any question under the sun, but there are questions we need to ask in order to get the answers to proceed with our lives. If we can dare to ask God to help us ask him the hard questions, he will direct us to some things that will maximize the blessings suffering can bring to us. For example, we can ask him, "How can this trouble you have permitted make me more like you?" instead of "Why aren't you removing this trouble?" God listens to every word we say, and we mustn't doubt his eager attention.
But if I doubt he's even there, that he's listening, or that he is interested in making a wise person out of me in the middle of the mess, then I will be "like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man," says James, "should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does" (James 1:7-8).
It's easy to feel as if our little craft of faith is being tossed about like a cork in the storm, isn't it? Job felt just like that. Yet, when the storm was at its height, God spoke to Job above the sound of the tempest and asked him why he had a problem with the problem!
Chapters 38 through 42 of Job are glorious chapters. After an uncanny silence, Job at last hears the voice he has been longing to hear. After seeing nothing – he sees God! And, hearing and seeing, he worships in a way he has never worshipped before. He lays his questions down at the feet of the Lord and kneels there, stunned in wondering abandonment. "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you," he cries (Job 42:5).

What is the Pinterest "Following Feed"?
Pinterest has been hinting at releasing a "following" tab ever since we've all been complaining about not being able to see pins in real-time from the people we follow on Pinterest. Today the button went live for everyone!
With the NEW "followers button", you can now see all the content from the accounts you follow in real-time chronological order. It's like going back to the Pinterest of 2014!
Click on the icon showing two people, to the right of the search bar.
Don't have the Following Feed button on your account yet?
But … is this bad news for businesses?
Why does the Pinterest Following Feed matter to businesses and bloggers?
For the last couple years, followers weren't a huge focus on Pinterest. That's because with Pinterest SmartFeed, users were served up content based on what they've been pinning, what they're searching, who they follow, and lots of other factors. We were more focused on getting individual pins discovered than by attracting users to follow our accounts. With the SmartFeed, content is served up to your followers first. Then, based on the pin's performance with a small sampling of your followers, Pinterest determines who (if anyone) else to serve the content to in the SmartFeed. I verified this during a recent talk given by Pinterest rep Enid Hwang at a conference I attended.
With the new followers button, growing your followers count on Pinterest is more important than ever, especially once people discover they can use this button to ONLY see posts from people they follow.
So what can we do now?
The good news is that it looks like the Following button and the SmartFeed with both co-exist. The SmartFeed will still shows as the default home page of Pinterest when you first login. To access the Following feed, users need to click the Followers button. We'll still be able to use all of the strategies we are currently using to get our content to show up in the SmartFeed.
The Following button shows content from everyone a person follows. If you have not been focuses on growing your followers on Pinterest (*raises hand*) then now's the time to get started.
Group boards are a popular way to increase your follower count and expose your content to new people. However, I dislike group boards as significant part of a strategy because you don't control them. At any moment, the group board owner can remove your access, delete your pins, or even delete the board, even if you have been following all of their rules. You're also dependent on the group board owner enforcing their guidelines and making sure that good quality content is pinned to the board to help it grow.
If you are going to use group boards as a way to grow your followers, just be aware that you need to check the board often to make sure that it is performing well and that other members are pinning quality content, and you also have to be aware that your access to the board can be revoked at any time, for any reason.
Be a helpful leader by sharing the news about the following button with your followers. And in that context, encourage your followers to follow you on Pinterest!
I made a video showing my followers how to access the new Following feed on Pinterest. Then I told them to follow my account on Pinterest! People love to have the inside scoop and if you put into context with the type of content they expect from you, it makes sense. For example, for Smart Fun DIY I told viewers that I wanted to help them find the best DIY projects from their favorite bloggers, on Pinterest.
You can make a helpful video like this on your own or you can share mine and change the call to action to get people to follow your account.
Share the news with your followers in your newsletter, on other social media platforms like twitter and YouTube, and embed boards in your blog posts. Make sure to include a call to action to let people know how to follow you along with a link. (Scroll to the end of the post to see how to do it).
Now that we know that users can access a feed of all the pins from their followers, in real-time chronological order, it's super important that we pin all throughout the day and night. Our followers are accessing their feeds all throughout the day and night and with time zones, it's even more important that we are pinning across all hours of the day so that our content has a chance to show up at the top of the Following Feed.
If you are manually pinning, this kind of volume and frequency of pins is going to be almost impossible to keep up. That's why I recommend using a pin scheduling tool from a Pinterest-approved partner like Tailwind.
Tailwind allows you to schedule your pins show they show up on different boards at different times of day. I use Tailwind to "pin stack", a technique where you can schedule a single pin to pin to multiple boards over a period of time. Using this strategy, I can schedule 5 pins a day for 30 days in about an hour. Imagine how much faster your pinning will be with Tailwind!
Watch this video to see how easy it is to schedule your pins all throughout the day and night with tailwind … this is gonna be your secret weapon for making sure your pins are always at the top of the Following Feed!
Use the Following button to find and repin NEW content!
Hey, why can't we use the Following Feed too? You're probably following your fellow bloggers and business owners on Pinterest. Use the Followin Feed to find their most recent content and repin it. This is a great way to give their pins a boost, share content from others that your followers will like, and be a good community member on Pinterest. The Following Feed makes it easy to find the freshest, newest pins to repin to your account!
While you're looking for fresh new pins in the Following Feed, scope any repeat themes or common elements among the new pins of the accounts you're following. This is a great way to try to identify trending topics. Then you can create new content along these trends or use Pinterest's search function to discover pins for the trend to repin.
As time goes on, I'm sure we'll discover more ways to grow our followers and use the Following Feed to our advantage as business owners!
To help with that, I made a handy checklist to help you implement these tactics on your Pinterest account.
And hey, are you following me on Pinterest yet?
I started a new account just for Smart Creative Social and will be adding more pins very soon. If you're interested in marketing on Pinterest or learning more about social media strrategy and making money online, FOLLOW ME HERE on Pinterest!

Gretta T. Pecl is an Australian marine ecologist, Australian Research Council Future Fellow, and the Director of the Centre for Marine Socioecology (CMS) at the University of Tasmania. Her work focuses on species and ecosystem responses to climate change, as well as using socioecological approaches to adapt natural resource management for climate change. She is on the editorial board of Springer Nature's Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, and is a Subject Editor for Ecography.

Early life and education
Pecl is from Tasmania. She earned her bachelor's degree at James Cook University in 1994, completing an undergraduate dissertation on the muscle structure and dynamics of Idiosepius pygmaeus. Pecl remained at James Cook University for her doctoral studies, earning a PhD in 2000. Her doctoral thesis compared the life-history variation of two closely related cephalopod species, Sepioteuthis australis and Sepioteuthis lessoniana, on the east coast of Australia. Her research continued into a Fisheries Research and Development Corporation and Australian Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Tasmania, looking at the movement of Sepioteuthis australis using acoustic location and trace element analysis.

Research and career
Pecl studies the ecology of climate change, in particular, what happens to wildlife in warming oceans. She has primarily investigated the warming waters off the coast of Tasmania. In 2009, Pecl founded the Range Extension Database and Mapping project (Redmap), a crowdsourced map which collects public sightings of fish, after attending a workshop and listening to fishers share information about recent sightings. The project uses a team of scientists to verify submitted photographs, and can make people more aware of climate change as they notice repeated changes in their own environments. Redmap was awarded the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales Whitely Award in 2010.

In 2009, Pecl was awarded a Fulbright Program scholarship to join the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and study how climate change had impacted the red king crab. The next year she was named one of the University of Tasmania's "Rising Stars". She has formed an International Global Marine Hotspots Network (GMHN) with colleagues to bring users and managers of the sea together. In 2015, Pecl was awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship to study the physiological and ecological mechanisms that underpin the redistribution of species through marine systems. In 2017, Pecl studied how the redistribution of land and fresh water species due to climate change affects human health, wellbeing, and culture. These impacts include tourism, recreational fishing, and health threats such as malaria. She served as editor-in-chief of Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries from 2014 to 2019 and an associate editor for Citizen Science: Theory and Practice from 2016 to 2020. She was elected to the Australian Society for Fish Biology Hall of Fame in 2016.

Pecl became the Director of the Centre for Marine Socioecology at the University of Tasmania in 2018. The Centre is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the University of Tasmania, the CSIRO and the Australian Antarctic Division which aims to understand the interactions between the ecological and social aspects of marine conservation and management. In 2021 she created the Future Seas initiative, which aims to encourage interdisciplinary scientific collaboration to improve society's capacity to manage ocean systems as part of the United Nations' Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

Pecl was a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Sixth Assessment Report, responsible for the "Great Barrier Reef", "Oceans", "Tourism", "Marine food" and "Indigenous peoples" sections of the Australasian chapter, and the "Fisheries on the Move", "Indigenous knowledge & climate adaptation", and "Climate change & water borne disease" cross chapter boxes within the main report. The report is due to be released in 2022.

Citizen science is a key approach to Pecl's research, and she is heavily involved in science communication and engagement. Pecl has written three articles for The Conversation to communicate her research regarding species' range shifts, the effects of climate change on Australian fishery species, and citizen science. In 2020, Pecl helped develop an educational card game of Tasmanian marine species. She has been involved in numerous public outreach events to educate stakeholders and communities on the impacts of climate change.

I've been going through the Agile Practice Guide and I'm excited about starting chapter 4 today. Why?
The first step is to have your project team adopt an agile mindset. There are five questions that the Agile Alliance recommends you discuss with the project team in order to help develop an implementation strategy.
This last point is so very important that the Agile Alliance Guide spends the next few pages on this. I will devote on the next posts to the following topics contained on those pages 33-37.
This discussion of the role of servant leader in an agile environment with then be contrasted with the project manager role in a traditional project management environment.
Let us go to the next post, which discusses the concept of "servant leadership." It seems like a contradiction in terms to have a leader who is actually a servant. Within this seeming contradiction, however, is the heart of what it means to lead an agile project.

Difference between LDAP and Active Directory
LDAP vs Active Directory:
We use directories to easily access stored data. We find directories in contact with communication and computers as well. For those who are familiar with directory services in computers and networks, LDAP and Active Directory might not be a surprise. But still, there might be confusion over these concepts for those who are not that much familiar with either domain networks or domain controllers. In regards with computers, directory service is a software system. This software system stores, organizes and provides access to information in a directory. Active directory is a directory service, which used LDAP in it. Therefore, this paper aims at bringing forward a brief description on these two concepts and their differences.
What is a LDAP?
LDAP is an abbreviation for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. It is set of protocols for accessing information directories. Email and other programs use LDAP to look up information from a server. It accesses and maintains distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. LDAP servers index all the data in their entries and "filters" may be used to select just the person or group wanted, and return just the information wanted. However LDAP is not limited to a database where only personnel details are stored. It is widely used to look up encryption certificates, pointers to printers and other services on a network and as LDAP is an open protocol application it is not needed not worry about the type of server hosting the directory. LDAP supports TCP/IP, which is necessary for any type of Internet access. When scanning into the origin of LDAP, it was originally intended to be a lightweight alternative protocol for accessing X.500 directory services through the simpler TCP/IP protocol stack.
What is Active Directory?
Active Directory, which is also denoted by AD is a directory service created by Microsoft for Windows Domain networks. It is a part of Windows 2000, although it was previewed in 1999. It was revised to extend functionality and improve administration in Windows Server 2003. Active Directory is often found in Windows Server Operating Systems, which is designed to handle a large number of read and search operations and a significantly smaller number of changes and updates. Server computers, in which Active Directory is run, are called domain controllers. Also Active Directory is a special-purpose database, which is not a registry replacement. Active Directory data is found hierarchical, replicated, and extensible and as it is replicated, dynamic data such as corporate stock prices or CPU performance need not to be stored. On the other hand, the Active Directory database consists of objects and attributes. Objects and attribute definitions are stored in the Active Directory schema.
What is the difference between LDAP and Active Directory?
Although Active directory and LDAP confusing and seem to be equal, there are slight differences between these two elements. Active Directory is a directory service that encompasses a wide variety of networking services and information about a network infrastructure while LDAP is an industry standard directory access protocol, making Active Directory widely accessible to management and query applications. Therefore, LDAP is necessary if an Active Directory is being used. Thus it is a must to conform to LDAP so that Active Directory can understand and respond to the request. While Active Directory provides authentication, directory, policy, and other services, LDAP queries and modifies items in directory service. Active Directory supports LDAPv3 and LDAPv2.
Telecommunications companies corporatized to create protocol for pulling data from a server across TCP/IP. As a result, LDAP was created in the 1980s and has been refined since then. Active Directory, on the other hand, is a product from Microsoft that has been developed based largely on LDAP, and it was previewed in 1999. Also, it was developed to ensure that it conforms and works flawlessly with LDAP. It was initially meant to provide data via LDAP but has grown to include other services as well. In a nutshell, Active Directory depends on LDAP. Moreover, LDAP can be used in any type of operating system, which is capable of running that application. But, as Active Directory was originally developed by Microsoft, it is found only in Windows operating systems, which is owned by Microsoft.
While LDAP servers exist as public servers, organizational servers for universities/corporations and smaller workgroup servers, AD is used in variety of networks from small networks with very few machines to very large networks with thousands of users. On the other hand, permissions on LDAP databases can be set by the administrator and Active Directory can easily synchronize updates to directories across servers.
Active directory is a directory service developed by Microsoft, while LDAP is a protocol used in directory services.
LDAP is older than Active directory as LDAP was developed in 1980s and Active directory was previewed in 1999.
LDAP can be run in any type of Operating System, while Active Directory in contrast can be used only in Windows Operating System as it was originally developed by Microsoft.

Why Study History at Butler?
By studying the past, the discipline of history attempts to determine what lies behind the decisions and choices that have shaped all the cultures of the world.
The History experience Butler is one that provides a diverse perspective on the world and allows students necessary hands-on practice in the field.
The History major at Butler is relatively unstructured, allowing students to explore different disciplines in order to promote their understanding of the human experience. Students can study a broad range of regions including European, East Asian, Latin American, US, World History, as well as theories and methods of historians.
History at Butler is also distinctive because of its close relationship with the discipline of anthropology. Housed in a combined department, both historians and anthropologists explore common themes through such topics as Vietnam, Revolutions, or the Holocaust. Students in both disciplines learn about the other's methodologies, and now have the choice of a combined major in History and Anthropology, in addition to an Anthropology major or History major.
History at Butler works closely with other fields of study. Students in history are encouraged to explore classes, or even pursue double majors, in Political Science, International Studies, Classics, English, Religious Studies, and beyond to broaden their understanding of the human condition.
History students at Butler enjoy small classes and a close working relationship with their professors, including the opportunity to carry out hands-on archival research. Indianapolis is home to a rich collection of state and regional records as well as some of the best museums in the country. These all provide Butler History students with opportunities to practice their skills and knowledge outside the classroom. Other opportunities for experiential learning abound at Butler. Many History students elect to spend one or two semesters studying abroad in places ranging from China to England, to Mexico, and points in between.
Students also have the opportunity to be a part of Phi Alpha Theta, the History National Honor society, where they can present their work at regional and national conferences. The History department also has a partnership with the Indiana Historical Society, which provides two students a semester the opportunity to work in history collections and archives.

i have the problem that i cannot read the data that the STM32F401 sends via Serialport.
It CAN read the data that i send to it, since the example program (the one that toogles the board LED when a 1 or 0 is sent) does what it is intended to do, but the message that is sent by printf is not visualized. I have tried may terminals (putty, Arduino Serial Window), with no success in reading the data.
I have seen a post that says that i need to REMOVE the 0ohm resistor in SB13 and SB14, and connect SB62 and SB63 with a 0 ohm resistor too in order for it to work properly.
1) This means that i have to MANUALLY REMOVE this resistors from the back of the board using a weller? 2) If i have to connect SB62 and SB63, can i use a wire? or should i use 0 ohm resistors? (like the ones removed in the quesion 1, if the answer is yes) 3) Is there a way to recieve the messages from the STM32F401 withouth doing this changes? I am afraid of damaging the board if i have to use a weller on it.
I ask this questions beacuse i want to send data to a Matlab program that reads some inputs from the STM32F401. If there is another way to do this i would be gratefull.

Les dones del Txad són dones nascudes, que viuen o provenen del Txad, un país sense costa de l'Àfrica central. Les txadianes són la part principal de la seva economia, principalment rural, i en nombre superen als homes (0,96 homes per dona (2006)).

Les dones s'enfronten a una discriminació i violència generalitzades. La mutilació genital femenina, encara que és tècnicament il·legal, encara es practica àmpliament. Les forces de seguretat cometen assassinats extrajudicials, cops, tortures, violacions i altres abusos amb una impunitat «gairebé total». Amnistia Internacional ha informat que «La precarietat generalitzada a l'est del Txad té conseqüències especialment greus per a les dones, que pateixen greus abusos dels drets humans, inclosa la violació, durant els atacs a pobles» de la milícia Janjawid procedent del Sudan.

Educació

Malgrat els esforços del govern, els nivells educatius generals es van mantenir baixos al final de la primera dècada de la independència. El 1971, prop del 99% de les dones majors de quinze anys no sabien llegir, escriure ni parlar francès, que aleshores era l'única llengua oficial del país; l'alfabetització en àrab se situava en el 7,8%. El 1982, la taxa global d'alfabetització se situa al voltant del 15%.

Els principals problemes del país han impedit el desenvolupament de l'educació txadiana des de la independència. El finançament per a l'educació ha estat molt limitat. Les instal·lacions i el personal limitats també han dificultat el sistema educatiu per proporcionar una instrucció adequada. La massificació d'aules és un problema important; algunes classes tenen més de 100 estudiants, molts dels quals són repetidors. Als primers anys després de la independència, molts professors de primària només tenien qualificacions marginals. A nivell secundari, la situació era encara pitjor.

El 2004, el 39,6% dels nens de 5 a 14 anys assistien a l'escola. Les oportunitats educatives per a les nenes són limitades, principalment a causa de les tradicions culturals. Menys noies que nois es matriculen a l'escola secundària, principalment a causa del matrimoni precoç. El 1999, el 54,0% dels nens que van començar l'escola primària van arribar al cinquè grau.

Drets de les dones

Tràfic humà
El Txad és un país d'origen i destinació dels nens sotmesos a tràfic de persones, concretament en condicions de treball forçat i prostitució forçada. El problema de tràfic del país és principalment intern, i sovint consisteix en el fet que els pares confien els fills a familiars o intermediaris a canvi de promeses d'educació, aprenentatge, béns o diners. La venda o el bescanvi de nens en una servitud domèstica involuntària o la criança s'utilitza com a mitjà de supervivència per les famílies que busquen reduir el nombre de boques per alimentar.

Les nenes txadianes menors d'edat viatgen a ciutats més grans a la recerca de feina, on algunes són sotmeses a prostitució. Algunes noies es veuen obligades a casar-se en contra de la seva voluntat, només per ser obligades pels seus marits a una servitud domèstica o treball agrícola involuntari. Segons els últims informes (2010), els traficants transportaven nenes del Camerun i de la República Centreafricana a les regions productores de petroli del Txad per a l'explotació sexual comercial; no se sap si aquesta pràctica va continuar després del 2009.

Mutilació genital femenina
El 60% de les dones txadianes havien estat objecte de mutilació genital femenina el 1995. El procediment és un ritu tradicional de pas a l'adultesa, en que la noia es converteix en adulta i se segueix independentment de l'orientació religiosa. És igualment freqüent entre musulmans, cristians i animistes. Els que assoleixen l'edat adulta sense ser mutilades, generalment, ho eviten per a tota la vida. Més del 80% de les nenes del Txad que han sofert la mutilació genital van ser mutilades entre els 5 i els 14 anys.

Informe global de la bretxa de gènere
El 2012, el Fòrum Econòmic Mundial va classificar el Txad entre les pitjors regions del seu Informe global de la bretxa de gènere (Gender Gap Report); el seu índex de bretxa de gènere era de 0,5594).

Poligàmia
La poligàmia és legal al Txad, i es calcula que més d'un terç de les dones viuen en matrimonis poligàmics. La taxa de fertilitat de les txadianes és de 5,9 naixements per dona. L'edat mitjana de tenir el primer fill és de 17,9 anys.

Tractats internacionals
El Txad ha signat i ratificat la Convenció sobre l'eliminació de totes les formes de discriminació contra les dones, la Convenció contra la tortura i altres càstigs o tractes cruels, inhumans o degradants, la Convenció sobre els drets de l'infant i el Protocol opcional de la Convenció sobre el Drets del nen sobre la venda de nens, prostitució infantil i pornografia infantil.

Outside of Callahan, where water was pouring from the building.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on August 20, Rick Seal didn't want to wake up his roommates living with him in A302 in Callahan Hall. Unfortunately, he wasn't successful in his mission.
"I had the earliest class," Seal said. "[My roommates] were asleep…. I was almost all ready, but I had to go put my shirt down to brush my teeth." He realized there was a nearby spot to hang his shirt up: a fire sprinkler.
When Seal came back to take the shirt off of the hanger, that's when it happened: "I tapped [the sprinkler's seal] with the hanger when I took the shirt off." Water came pouring out of the sprinkler then, he said, waking up all of his roommates.
According to System Sensor, a company that makes building fire detection and fighting equipment, such as the sprinkler, these sprinklers can pump out more than ten gallons per minute.
The sprinkler that flooded the A-wing of Callahan.
Right after the sprinkler activated, Seal went looking for help. He tried his Resident Assistant, who he said was in the shower. He went down to the front desk of Callahan, which wasn't open yet.
Within minutes, water had begun to go through to lower floors, flooding the entirety of Callahan's A-wing, and the fire alarms were blaring, waking the rest of the residents up and forcing them outside.
"When I woke up, it was raining from the ceiling," said Trevor Matthews, former resident of Callahan room A202. Matthews said he is being relocated to Norse Hall.
Residents living in A102, A103, A202, A203, A302 and A303 said they were being moved out permanently.
Since there was no malicious intent, there will be no criminal charges filed, according to Willis. He said he hopes people learn from this and won't mess around with the water sprinklers.
Seal said that his insurance and the university's insurance are still working out the details about paying for damages. However, Director of University Housing Arnie Slaughter has been unavailable for comment about the amount of damage, the costs, and how the university will be addressing the situation.

Lecrae is "Over The Top" on new single
The track can be found on his new album 'Restoration.'
Over the past weekend, Lecrae dropped his tenth studio LP Restoration, which sees 14 tracks and additional appearances from YK Osiris, Marc E. Bassy, John Legend, Jozzy, Kirk Franklin, DaniLeigh, BJ The Chicago Kid, and Gwen Bunn. Today, the Houston emcee returns with a new visual for the track "Over The Top," which sees production from 30 Roc and sees Lecrae speaking his truth over the trap-influenced cut:
"Go-go-got a Nike deal, all I see is checks, they on Instagram, flexin' for respect, you can rent a jet, I don't care, I fly coach, tell the captain they be cappin', most of y'all broke/
I got 50 on me, I made a milli' just bein' holy, I kept a Benz and I had a Rover, walked in the jewelry store, bought a Rollie/
Billboard number one, did that, independent label, I built that, illuminati rumors, I killed that, arena full of people, I filled that…/"
The accompanying video sees Lecrae in what looks like a massive residence — one that's filled with snakes, scorpions, questionable label executives, cash, and more. Essentially, all of the luxuries in life go away, but Lecrae shows that faith and family lasts forever — something that he made clear during an Instagram Live session:
"It's a testament to where I am in life. Especially where we are at right now like if you're in quarantine or in-home and you don't have the usual luxuries, you realize it is all vanity."
"Over The Top" follows previously released visuals for "Zombie," the John Legend-assisted "Drown," "Deep End," and the YK Osiris-featured "Set Me Free." Prior to Restoration, Lecrae teamed up with Zaytoven for the 2018 release Let The Trap Say Amen, which saw collaborations alongside 24hrs, Verse Simmonds, Waka Flocka Flame, and more.
Press play on "Over The Top" below.

Your body is in a constant ebb and flow to create harmony and balance. When something within the body is out of balance your body will try to create homeostasis. If your body cannot create homeostasis it will over compensate and over use another organ or muscle causing fatigue and excessive tissue damage. That is why it is important to take care of yourself so you can take care of your life.

It was an ordinary day. A typical Tuesday morning. I woke to the alarm, showered, dressed. Off to work. I arrived at my desk right on schedule. I hung my hat and coat, and headed to the break room for my coffee.
Generally, I keep to myself at work. I prefer not to draw attention, so I usually hurry down the hall early, before the rush, eyes on my feet to avoid any conversation. The long hallway is always buzzing with activity, but this morning it was surprisingly quiet, which caused me to look up. And I saw the door.
It was at the end of the hall, tall and skinny, painted pale yellow. I had never seen this door before. I was certain that it had not been there yesterday; I have worked in this office for seven years, and I had never seen this door.
I looked around; still no one. I continued down the hallway, staring intently at the door. It was a strange yellow, almost a sickly yellow. Why did the door seem too thin, too tall? Why hadn't I noticed it before?
I passed the break room. Usually a small crowd gathered by the water cooler or the coffee maker, but I saw no one. It was quiet. Too quiet.
Starting to sweat, I loosened my tie, cleared my throat, never taking my eyes off the door. I was still walking slowly, but steadily towards it. For some reason, it didn't appear to be getting any closer. The end of the hall was still a ways off. I tried to walk faster, lengthen my stride, but my shuffling feet wouldn't cooperate.
Maybe this was a bad idea. The door was unnerving, seeming to pulsate and throb with a strange energy. I should turn back.
My reluctant feet kept moving. I tried to turn around, to look away, but it was too late. I was reaching for the knob. It was cold to the touch. I felt dizzy as I turned the handle.
The door swung open on silent hinges.
Heart pounding, I tried to look away, to shut the door, turn around, anything, but I was trapped, gazing helplessly into the void.
I don't know how long I stood there, resisting the urge to step over the threshold, fighting with every ounce of my being to avoid taking that step. Sweat was trickling down my face, my breath was coming in fast, harsh gasps.
A sudden flash of light blinded me, and I shielded my eyes, unsure of what to expect. As my vision cleared, I saw what lay beyond the door.
A mop. A bucket. A rickety shelf stacked with toilet paper, cleaning supplies.
I had discovered the janitor's closet.
I took a shaky breath. "Just a cup of coffee." I shut the door. The knob seemed to tremble… or was it just my hands shaking?
I love the surprise ending!


Federal agents used a battering ram to raid the office of a Tucson lawyer arrested Wednesday on suspicion of obstruction of justice, according to a motion filed Friday.
Rafael Gallego, 59, was arrested outside Pima County Superior Court as he was headed to the second day of a jury trial. A mistrial was declared in that case, his attorney said.
Soon after, agents armed with military-style rifles raided Gallego's office, handcuffed his legal secretary, and held her at gunpoint, according to an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order filed in U.S. District Court in Tucson by Gallego's attorney, Joshua Hamilton.
The arrest was "unnecessarily dramatic," Hamilton wrote, saying the doors to the office were unlocked during business hours when agents arrived. He questioned why Gallego was not issued a summons to appear in federal court so that he could voluntarily present himself.
Hamilton asked Judge Rosemary Marquez to order the documents, computers, and a cell phone seized by the FBI be turned over to an independent investigator to ensure no confidential information on Gallego's clients is released.
"There is no question that the government is now in possession of a significant amount of privileged information, much of which is wholly unrelated to its current investigation of Mr. Gallego," Hamilton wrote.
Hamilton referenced the appointment of a special master to review the documents seized from Michael Cohen, the personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, as a successful model.
Marquez ordered federal investigators not to inspect any seized materials until a hearing is held, court records show.
Gallego and his assistant, Ricardo Gallego, 39, were indicted on charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice, conspiracy to commit false statements, obstruction of justice, accessory after the fact and conspiracy to tamper with a witness, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas, which is handling the case.
Both men are accused of lying to federal investigators and a prosecutor in a cocaine-smuggling case from 2017. In that case, customs officers in Nogales arrested a man in January 2017 after allegedly finding more than 20 pounds of cocaine hidden in the airbag compartment of his vehicle. The drug-smuggling charges in that case were dismissed in October 2017, court records show.
The indictment alleges that during that case, the attorney and his assistant conspired to lie to investigators, border agents and an assistant U.S. attorney. They are also accused of providing assistance to their client to hinder and prevent his apprehension, trial and punishment on the drug charges.
The two also are accused of trying to persuade their client to provide false information to investigators, according to the news release.
Gallego has worked as an attorney in Arizona since 1991, including as a deputy Pima County Attorney, Hamilton wrote.
He was suspended by the Arizona Bar Association for one year in March 2008 after an investigation determined that he was using cocaine prior to and during a murder trial, according to the Bar Association.
In the motion Friday, Hamilton said Gallego had a "prior disciplinary history owing to a substance abuse issue, long since resolved, and has been a a member (of the state bar) in good standing ever since."
The two men face up to 20 years in prison on the witness-tampering charges, 10 years for obstruction of justice charges and up to five years on the other conspiracy charges, according to the news release.
Rafael Gallego pleaded not guilty to all charges and was released on his own recognizance on Wednesday, court records show. He was prohibited from leaving Arizona without prior court permission. Ricardo Gallego also pleaded not guilty to all charges, but prosecutors said there was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer placed on him and he was being held by the U.S. Marshals Service.
A trial is scheduled for Sept. 18.
The attorney and an assistant face charges that include obstruction of justice, witness tampering and conspiracy.

La paz de Rueil fue un tratado de paz firmado en 1649 tras la primera Fronda, llamada Fronda de los Parlamentarios, iniciada por el enfrentamiento entre el Parlamento francés y Mazarino, valido de Ana de Austria y regente de Luis XIV.

El detonante fue la negativa del pago de La Paulette, impuesto anual para los oficiales del Parlamento. La paz de Westfalia había permitido a los ejércitos de Condé sitiar París, y la multiplicidad de intereses entre nobleza, burguesía y pueblo llano amotinados hacen que finalmente el parlamento negocie la paz.

Comments on SOP Advice: Rolling In
Sometimes the comments are as informative as the original post. The United States Proxy Exchange asked for comments on their/our draft say-on-pay voting guidelines aimed at retail investors.
So far, that plea for help has attracted comments from growing list leading thinkers in the investment community. Thanks to each of you for taking the time to offer your advice. I'll post some juicy tidbits to get readers thinking that no one should miss out on this opportunity to be heard. I encourage each of you to read the paper, the comments and to submit your own thoughts on the topic.
Please keep in mind, we are looking for guidelines that can help retail shareowners make intelligent decisions in a reasonable amount of time, such at 10 to 20 minutes. Second, while many of us agree with the principle of pay for performance (some don't), we are also concerned that CEO pay keeps ratcheting up nearly every year because many boards think their CEO is above average and should be paid accordingly. If most boards think their CEO should be paid more than average, the average rises each year. We will read every comment and consider how we might use it to create better guidelines.
Affiliations for commentators below are provided for identification purposes only. As I sometimes say, "The opinions I express are not necessarily those of CorpGov.net or even my own… I'm simply attempting to provoke thoughtful dialogue."
John Harrington of Harrington Investments "… institutional investors are their beneficiaries' worst enemy and if fiduciary duty, including ERISA, were truly enforced, lots of trustees, directors, administrators and managers would be in jail."
Alexandra R. Lajoux of NACD "NACD appreciates the symbolic value of say on pay. However, we believe that it is a poor substitute for dialogue. It is much more valuable to have shareholder communication well in advance of plans or votes on plans…"
Jesse Fried of Harvard Law "…I am not sure that benchmarking CEO pay to average worker pay in the economy is necessarily a good idea — it just does not have the 2 problems associated with benchmarking CEO pay to average worker pay in the firm, over which the CEO has control…"
Anonymous, (insiders with the most suggestions) "…GAO found that 40 executives for 10 companies received approximately $350 million in pay and other compensation in the years leading up to the termination of their companies' underfunded pension plans…" "…You should go directly after the institutions if you think they aren't doing the job but the adviser issue is a red herring in my view…"
Stephen Davis of Yale "…Of course most retail investors may only devote a couple of minutes to the decision, so your benchmarks might not even be quick enough…"
Rick Hausman of Clean Yield "…Personally, I like the ratchet-down proposal–vote no on compensation unless it is below, say 90%, of last year's comp. This compensates for the Lake Woebegone effect…"
Doug Chia of Johnson & Johnson "…To reduce the entire Say On Pay decision to two simplistic ratios without regard to anything else seems to go against the principles of robust disclosure and meaningful analysis. Is this really what you are striving for?…"
John Richardson of Global Investment Watch "…As a simple exercise, look at your next proxy statement and count the number of pages in the document addressing executive pay issues. I have found that this subject consumes somewhere between 70% and 80% of most proxy statements. Companies bear the responsibility for obfuscating any reasoned assessment of pay by shareholders…"
Nell Minow corpgov's most famous Movie Mom "…I don't support ratio tests. I support guidelines that look at the return on investment of every dollar spent on pay, clawbacks, the clarity and difficulty of targets, the appropriateness of peer groups used for comparison, and the mix of long- and short-term compensation. I do support tying votes on comp committee members to no votes on pay…"
Heather Booth, the lifetime social activist "…the growing inequality in this country, in itself, is a cause of instability, less democracy (because voices with such inequitable financial backing speak so much louder than others) and hardship for most people–and a fraying of the social fabric.."
Chuck O'Neil, voting reform activist, "…Birkshire Hathaway didn't create any real wealth. They just purchased other companies that had the potential to do well. Are we really better off because one person was skilled at buying and selling companies. One thing they did was to close down plants that were only marginally profitable. People were put out of work for the benefit of a few rich shareholders. I don't think large salaries are justified for those who destroy the lives of workers. Perhaps they do what was necessary but putting people out of work doesn't deserve huge salaries…"
Mark Rome of the Business Integrity Alliance "…At some point, institutional investors need to step up and ask, "is your performance legal, ethical and sustainable," and hold the C-Suite and Board accountable and culpable; e.g., BP, Massey Energy, Johnson & Johnson, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, etc."
Leslie Levy of the Institute for Research on Boards of Directors "…since the SEC ruled that all compensation must be reducible to dollar terms, we have lost the ability to provide non-dollar incentives that are often more powerful than dollar ones. Think about how far you get with your kids when you use "bribes" to get them to do what you want. Research has demonstrated over and over that monetary compensation is weak, compared to other forms, except to a certain sector of the population. So, by emphasizing or restricting ourselves to monetary compensation, we get CEOs who adore money. I don't think it's a great idea for a bunch of Gordon Geckos to be running our corporations…"
Andrew Shapiro of Lawndale Capital Management "…in a company that lacks pay equity and a high multiple (lower cost of capital) we seriously ask the question why a company is public and should a change of control and/or take private transaction be the optimal sought after outcome. Presumably a private equity or managerial owner would more appropriately balance pay equity and the company's overall performance than a group of comp committee members delegate powers from a highly decentralized powerless public shareholder base…"
Sarah Wilson of Manifest proxy advisory "…more shareholders need to make the connection between governance decisions and investment decisions and not depend on auto-pilot voting as a substitute for thinking…"
Ron Freund of the Social Equity Group "I would echo those who have pointed out the potential futility of advisory votes. I think the energy should also be spent on placing binding by-law resolutions on the proxy ballots. If this cannot be done with this type of resolution, then possible SEC or legislative remedies should be pursued (probably after the 2012 election if the House reverts to sanity.)"
Adam Foulke of Motley Rice …"I'm not a proponent of using a fixed ratio to determine a vote, but strongly agree that pay should correlate with performance. That's going to be different strokes for different folks, so shareholders are going to have to flex analytical muscles. If it's deemed that executive compensation is excessive, I absolutely agree that compensation committee directors should be voted against. That's good old fashioned accountability…"
