Q: How do I get the population by country when using the Esri Demographics Geoprocessing Service? I am using the ArcGIS JavaScript API and Geoprocessing Services to get population. The service takes an input circle and returns the population inside.
Some times, a circle can cover cover more than one country (for example Spain and Portugal) but I need to get the population of a single country using a filter.
I am using this function to get the area using Google Maps:
function getPop()
myFunctions.ftn_findpop1(selectedShape.center.lat(),selectedShape.center.lng(),selectedShape.getRadius());
}
Then...
function findPop(ring) {
        var gp = new esri.tasks.Geoprocessor("https://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Demographics/ESRI_Population_World/GPServer/PopulationSummary");
...

A: I'm excluding the part where you're referencing Google Maps. I'm not entirely sure how that comes into play with this question.
Essentially you need to find the geometry of a country, with that you can pass that geometry into the geoprocessing service and have it use that instead of a "circle". Luckily there is a lot of data to be found on ArcGIS.com, including country boundaries.
The below code is very close to what you want to do. (It might actually work, but sampleserver1 is giving me CORS Cross domain issues and I'm not in a position to setup a proxy to make a good request. (My issue is beyond the scope of your initial question.) Below you can see that a button press starts everything. Pressing the button sets a definition express for Country = Spain. (there are many different ways to perform a query). The selected featurelayer with the definition is sent as input to the geoprocessing service. You'll get back a response and the app is responsible for popping up a text box with the output.
Remember, the code below will probably not just run, but it shows the pattern you need to undertake.

Q: How to get a vector field from its rotation field? Suppose there is a vector field $\mathbf{V}$ and its rotation field is given as $\mathbf{R}$. The relationship between the two vector fields is as follow:
$$\mathbf{R}=\nabla \times\mathbf{V}$$
My question is how to get the original vector field $\mathbf{V}$ from $\mathbf{R}$?

A: Formula valid when the domain is star-shaped with respect to the origin (${\rm div}\ {\bf R}=0$ is required):
$${\bf V}(x)=\int_0^1 {\bf R}(tx)\times tx\,dt.$$

A: Fourier transforms make things easier. We then have ${\bf{R(k)}}=i{\bf{k×V(k)}}$. The general form of $\bf{V(k)}$ is ${\bf{V(k)=k×A(k)+k}}Φ(k)$. Now $${\bf{R(k)}}=i{\bf{k×V(k)}}=i{\bf{k×(k×A(k))}}=i{k^2}{\bf{A(k)}}-i{\bf{kk⋅A(k)}}.$$ Without loss of generality we can assume that ${\bf{k.A(k)}}=0$ so $${\bf{A(k)}}=-i{k^{-2}}{\bf{R(k)}},$$ and $${\bf{A(x)∼∫dy(1/|x-y|)R(y)}}.$$ We see that an arbitrary $Φ({\bf{k}})$ is allowed. This is a familiar situation in electrodynamics where $Φ$ and $\bf{A}$ are known as the scalar and vector potential.

NFL Roundup: Week 9
By The Associated Press	• Published at 6:47 pm on November 2, 2014
Here's who won and who lost in the ninth week of the 2014 NFL season.
STEELERS 43, RAVENS 23
Ben Roethlisberger threw for 340 yards and six scores to set an NFL record for most touchdown passes in consecutive games.
A week after passing for a franchise-record six touchdowns against Indianapolis, Roethlisberger duplicated the feat as Pittsburgh (6-3) earned its third consecutive win. Roethlisberger's 12 touchdown passes over the last two games broke the mark of 11 set by Tom Flores for Oakland in 1963 and matched by New England's Tom Brady in 2007.
Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 138 yards and a score. Rookie Martavis Bryant hauled in two scoring receptions and has five touchdowns in three games.
Joe Flacco passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, but the Ravens (5-4) were undone by a sloppy second quarter.
PATRIOTS 42, COLTS 20
Jonas Gray rushed for 199 yards and a franchise-record four touchdowns in his fourth career game.
Tom Brady threw two TD passes as the AFC-best Patriots (8-2) earned their sixth consecutive victory. New England also has won five in a row against Indianapolis (6-4).
Brady finished 19 of 30 for 257 yards with two interceptions.
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was 23 of 39 for 303 yards with two scores. He extended his franchise record of consecutive 300-yard games to eight and moved within one of Drew Brees' NFL record.
But the unheralded Gray was the surprise star. His first two scoring runs gave New England a 14-10 halftime lead. His other two helped put the game away in the second half.
SEAHAWKS 30, RAIDERS 24
Marshawn Lynch rushed for two first-half touchdowns, Bruce Irvin tipped and intercepted Derek Carr's pass and returned it 35 yards for another score and Seattle beat Oakland.
After a tumultuous previous month, the Seahawks (5-3) won their second straight behind a strong first half, three field goals from Steven Hauschka and a defense that made Carr look like a rookie much of the afternoon.
Not all was perfect for Seattle. Russell Wilson struggled through one of his worst passing games and the Seahawks failed to capitalize on numerous chances to rout the winless Raiders.
Seattle led 24-3 at halftime only to see the Raiders score on a blocked punt for a touchdown and two Mychal Rivera TD catches to pull within six in the final minutes.
Lynch finished with 67 yards rushing and another 76 receiving as the Seahawks handed Oakland (0-8) its 14th straight loss dating to last season.
PATRIOTS 43, BRONCOS 21
Tom Brady outdueled Peyton Manning, throwing for four touchdowns, and Julian Edelman returned a punt 84 yards for a score in leading the New England Patriots past the Denver Broncos 43-21 Sunday.
The 16th matchup between the all-time great quarterbacks wasn't particularly competitive after the first quarter.
New England (7-2) won its fifth straight, halting the four-game winning streak for Denver (6-2) in emphatic fashion. Brady has 18 TD passes and one interception in those five victories.
Manning fell to 2-7 at Gillette Stadium and 5-11 overall against Brady, even though he threw for 438 yards and two touchdowns. He has at least two TD passes in 14 consecutive games, an NFL record.
In his 200th career start, Brady passed for 333 yards. He has won 155 of those, the most for any quarterback in that many starts.
RAMS 13, 49ERS 10
Colin Kaepernick fumbled at the goal line with 2 seconds remaining, and St. Louis sacked the San Francisco quarterback eight times on the way to an upset over the 49ers.
The Rams recovered, and the play was reviewed and upheld. The 49ers (4-4) had first-and-goal at the 1, but struggled in the red zone and failed to capitalize on consecutive penalties by Trumaine Johnson as he defended Michael Crabtree.
Greg Zuerlein kicked a go-ahead 39-yard field goal for the Rams (3-5) with 5:25 left.
San Francisco got the ball back at its 12 with 3:11 remaining. Kaepernick completed long passes to Stevie Johnson and Anquan Boldin in the final drive.
CARDINALS 28, COWBOYS 17
Carson Palmer had three touchdown passes after an early interception the Cowboys returned for a score, and the Dallas offense struggled without the injured Tony Romo in a 28-17 loss to Arizona on Sunday.
The Cardinals (7-1), who have sole possession of the best record in the NFC for the first time since 1974, won their fourth straight. They have beaten all five conference opponents.
Romo was out with his third back injury in 18 months, and backup Brandon Weeden threw two interceptions as the Cowboys (6-3) dropped their second straight after a six-game winning streak.
NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray's record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start the season for Dallas ended against a defense that didn't allow a back over the century mark for the 18th consecutive time. He rushed for 79 yards on 19 carries.
EAGLES 31, TEXANS 21
Mark Sanchez replaced the injured Nick Foles and threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns to lead Philadelphia over Houston.
Foles injured his left shoulder late in the first quarter, forcing Sanchez into his first action since 2012 with the Jets. He threw two interceptions in three quarters, but made throws when he had to.
The Eagles (6-2) led by 3 when Jeremy Maclin grabbed a low throw from Sanchez for an 8-yard touchdown to make it 31-21 with about four minutes remaining.
Maclin finished with two touchdowns and 158 yards receiving and LeSean McCoy had 117 yards rushing.
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 203 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Houston (4-5).
BENGALS 33, JAGUARS 23
Jeremy Hill ran for a career-high 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 60-yarder in the fourth quarter that helped Cincinnati hold on for a victory over Jacksonville.
Andy Dalton threw a pair of touchdown passes, one of them to A.J. Green in the Pro Bowl receiver's return from a toe injury, but also had a pair of interceptions that kept it close.
The Jaguars (1-8) turned Dalton's second interception into Denard Robinson's 5-yard touchdown run, cutting it to 26-23. Hill broke his 60-yard touchdown run on Cincinnati's next play from scrimmage.
Rookie Blake Bortles, who leads the NFL in interceptions, helped the Bengals (5-2-1) seal it by throwing an interception to George Iloka in the end zone with 3:55 left.
Bortles was 22 of 33 for 247 yards with a pair of touchdown passes to Allen Hurns.
CHIEFS 24, JETS 10
Alex Smith threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns, Jamaal Charles ran for another score and Kansas City sent New York to its eighth straight loss.
Tight ends Travis Kelce and Anthony Fasano each caught touchdown passes, and the Chiefs (5-3) won their third straight and fifth in six games on the same day former running back Priest Holmes was inducted into their ring of honor.
Making his first start with the Jets (1-8), Michael Vick was 21 of 27 for 196 yards and a touchdown. He briefly left in the fourth quarter after taking a massive hit from the Chiefs' Josh Mauga and walking unsteadily off the field, but eventually returned later in the quarter.
VIKINGS 29, REDSKINS 26
Teddy Bridgewater outplayed Robert Griffin III down the stretch after a rough start, Matt Asiata ran for three scores and the Vikings spoiled Griffin's return to the Redskins with a victory.
Bridgewater completed 26 of 42 passes for 268 yards for the Vikings (4-5), who sacked Griffin five times.
Griffin went 18 for 28 for 251 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Redskins (3-6), who lost three leads despite 92 yards and two touchdowns rushing by Alfred Morris and 120 yards receiving from DeSean Jackson.
This was a rough day for the Redskins, starting with a crash between their two buses on the way to the stadium.
BROWNS 22, BUCCANEERS 17
Brian Hoyer threw a 34-yard TD pass to Taylor Gabriel with 8:59 remaining, helping Cleveland complete a favorable stretch of its schedule with a win over Tampa Bay.
Cleveland was trailing 17-16 when Hoyer completed his second TD pass. Hoyer finished 21 of 34 for 300 yards, two TDs and two interceptions. He improved to 8-3 as Cleveland's starter.
The Browns (5-3) have their best record at the midway point since 2007 when they won 10 and barely missed the playoffs. Cleveland went 2-1 the past three weeks against Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay, who entered a combined 2-19.
Tampa Bay's Mike Glennon threw a pair of 24-yard TDs to rookie Mike Evans for the Buccaneers (1-7), who have lost four in a row and five this season by six points or less.
DOLPHINS 37, CHARGERS 0
Ryan Tannehill threw for 288 yards and three scores, and Miami forced four turnovers to rout San Diego.
Tannehill went 24 for 34 and threw touchdown passes to Charles Clay, Rishard Matthews and Jarvis Landry. San Diego's Philip Rivers threw three interceptions, two to Brent Grimes, and was sacked three times.
The Dolphins (5-3) earned their third consecutive victory. The Chargers (5-4) lost their third game in a row and remain winless in South Florida since January 1982.
Every Miami victory this season has been by double digits, and this was the most lopsided yet. San Diego was shut out for the first time since 1999, and the Dolphins earned their first shutout since 2006.

The Blackface Scandal Tells Us More About Canada's Systemic Racism Than About Justin Trudeau | Opinion
Joshua Sealy-Harrington
On 10/1/19 at 12:04 PM EDT
Opinion Justin Trudeau Racism Blackface Canada
On September 18, 2019 TIME magazine reported that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wore brownface in 2001 at an "Arabian Nights" themed party hosted by his then-employer, West Point Grey Academy (a private high school in Vancouver, British Columbia.) As one friend put it, Trudeau's skin was so absurdly dark, even Rihanna's inclusive 40-shade makeup line could not serve his minstrel commitment. Immediately, Canadians of all political stripes, suddenly, gained an acute interest in combatting racism—or so they claimed.
The Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer, who opposed the UN Global Compact on Migration to appease anti-immigrant sentiments, claimed that Indigenous Peoples "hold hostage" Canadian interests, and demanded only apologies from his own candidates in the event they had actually espoused racist views (while refusing to apologize himself for bigoted statements, not at themed parties, but in the House of Commons,) said he was "extremely shocked and disappointed" with Trudeau's actions, and that those actions made Trudeau unfit to govern. I'm not buying it. At least the more conservative People's Party of Canada Leader, Maxime Bernier, was consistent in his inability to recognize racism, while also demonstrating a complete misunderstanding of the many differences between blackface and drag—dehumanization and celebration are opposites, not analogs.
So, how should Canadians respond to this scandal? Four points, I think, are critical.
First, we should let this moment be an opportunity to reflect on Canadian racism. Many continue to deny racism's systemic force in Canada. They urge this, despite Canada's legacy of slavery and segregation, despite 40 percent of Canadians thinking too many immigrants are visible minorities, despite Canada's past and present policies amounting to genocide against Indigenous Peoples, and now, despite Canada's Prime Minister, a white man, repeatedly wearing racial minorities as a costume to parties, thereby continuing Canada's extensive history of blackface. I do not know what kind of evidence would be necessary for someone to acknowledge that Canada has a racism problem. But, with Trudeau's actions added to the laundry list of racial transgressions, we have surpassed reasonable doubt. When the dehumanization of black bodies is so normalized that a teacher can wear blackface without concern, you have a racism problem, period. And, to be clear, identifying the systemic nature of racism is not a hypocritical means of insulating Trudeau from moral culpability, as some conservative pundits claim; rather, it is critical to understanding how racism operates. It is frustrating to have to retread this basic proposition about racism, but racism is, at its core, not about racist people, but the racist society that empowers them. So, Trudeau should be criticized for wearing blackface and brownface. But our primary—not only—concern should be the attitudes that naturalize racial logics, not the fact that all of us, unfortunately, succumb to those logics. Given racism's structural character, its individualization is its immunization.
Second, as should always be the case, our response to this scandal should be measured. I'll be blunt: I care a lot more about the systemic forces that normalize the caricaturization of racial minorities than the discrete manifestations of that caricaturization. In other words, I care more about structural anti-racist policy, than individual (albeit repeated) racist practices. With that in mind, I would question anyone who would veer politically right because of Trudeau's blackface scandal. If racism upsets you, clean up your house, or, if anything, move to the other house next door. It is incoherent to transition to a party who is doing greater harm to racial minorities on the pretense of adamant respect for those minorities. Instead, recognize how environmental, immigration, criminal, health, housing, and economic policy all adversely impact racial minorities, and demand that your party—whichever party that may be—do more to promote racial justice.
I'm Pakistani-Canadian, and I Forgive Justin Trudeau
Trump, Trudeau and Pena Nieto Cannot Let NAFTA Fail
Right-Wing Populism vs. Liberal International Order
Third, while I welcome everyone into the complex conversations needed to improve Canadian racial consciousness, we should recognize the character of this issue, and how that character informs the authorities relevant to its resolution. Just as I generally defer to scientists about the causes and consequences of global warming, I recommend a general policy of deference to racial minorities about the harms of blackface and brownface. We can all debate general values and philosophy, but when a particular issue distills to whether a marginalized group finds something upsetting, questioning their emotional response is not only insensitive, but overlooks the well-documented role of blackface in the dehumanization of Black people, and the perpetuation of white supremacy.
Lastly, we should be realistic about how the Trudeau blackface scandal informs our electoral choices. Racist costumes can be telling about an individual's judgment and character. But if someone wearing blackface to a themed party tells us a lot about his perspective on race, surely another's endorsement of a racist anti-immigrant hotline tells us more.
The Trudeau blackface scandal is, of course, scandalous. But that scandal should not overwhelm all electoral criteria. We should consider parties' and members' past, present, and future; consider their attitudes; consider their policies; consider their priorities; and then vote, with all that—not just Trudeau's racist costume choices—in mind.

Broxah addresses TL performance, plans to work harder for Worlds
by Carly Soba
Team Liquid is one out of three teams heading to Worlds to represent North America. Unfortunately, they had a bumpy ending to this Summer Split. TL's jungler Mads "Broxah" Brock-Pedersen publicly addressed their recent loss, sharing his thoughts with fans, especially about the upcoming Worlds.
"I think it's unfair to say that this split was a complete failure," begins the note, "but right now it sure feels that way." The team ended in third place for the 2020 LCS Summer Playoffs, even though they stood in first place for the regular season. This was a big improvement from this year's regular Spring season, where they came in ninth place right above Counter Logic Gaming. For the Playoffs, they lost against TSM 2-3, which prevented them from moving on to the Summer Finals.
pic.twitter.com/pMWrLk3ARi
— Broxah (@BroxahLoL) September 8, 2020
Broxah's high ambitions for TL
Broxah had recently played for European League of Legends team Fnatic from 2017 until 2019. He had a great track record with them, coming in mostly in the top ranks for several playoffs and regular seasons. He had also participated in Worlds 2019, getting as far up as sixth place as his team lost against eventual Worlds champion FunPlus Pheonix. Broxah then joined TL, playing with them ever since.
In his letter, he acknowledges that going from ninth place to third isn't bad, and he should be proud. Unfortunately, this isn't good enough for him as he strives to achieve more. He continued, "The amount of pain and sorrow that I have felt these past days definitely has confirmed that."
He followed the statement by sharing that TL has plenty of work to do in preparations for Worlds. Ending the letter is a sincere thank you to all of his fans and supporters for sticking by him throughout the season.
Many fans know Broxah as someone who doesn't show emotion and has high expectations for himself. As a response to the letter, many fans, casters, and fellow players supported him. Overall, these messages complimented his hard work ethic as well as the entire team.
The Esports scene is lucky to have you in it. <3

stay as long as you need and you will always have my support as a # 1 fan and fan in Brazil #LETSGOLIQUID E Destroy all teams just like you did in 2018.
— Pedro Lucas (@thund3rbolt13) September 8, 2020
Broxah and TL are currently on their way to Shanghai to participate in this year's Worlds. The rest of the team plans to work even harder to compete against top international teams. Unfortunately, they have been pushed to the bottom of the ladder into Play-Ins. The team must climb their way out of the initial matches, making their way to Groups with FlyQuest and TSM.

Competitive tendering is a common method of procurement in the construction industry.
A tender is a submission made by a prospective supplier/contractor in response to an invitation to tender. It makes an offer for the supply of goods or services.
Those tendering for a contract are often competing with others, and generally, none of the tenderers are aware of the quotes provided by each other; therefore, they are incentivised to submit their most competitive tender. In this way, it is believed that competition in procurement can add value for the client.
Competitive tendering became increasingly common in the UK in the 1980s, when it was seen as a way of making public organisations open themselves up to bids from a number of different firms. This was intended to increase transparency, drive down costs, and improve the efficiency of state-funded organisations such as central and local government departments.
However, it has been criticised for placing too much emphasis on cost, and not necessarily achieving best value for the client. Competitive tendering can be seen as a 'race to the bottom' and can lead to disputes later in the project as suppliers seek mechanisms to increase their price.

Q: Genesis - How to use a different template for post format 'gallery'? within my Genesis child theme I have two different post formats (not types!): Standard and Gallery.
When the user selects the Gallery he gets offered additional fields via the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. I know need to change the template of the Post format 'Gallery' in order to pull the data from the ACF plugin.
How can I do this with genesis?
I tried it with:
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'loop_helper' );
function loop_helper() {

    if ( has_post_format( 'gallery' )) {
        echo 'this is the gallery format';
    } else {
        genesis_standard_loop();
    }
}

But this is not working as it just shows "this is the gallery format" and nothing else. I am looking for something like:
if ( has_post_format( 'gallery' )) {
    get_template_part('content',get_post_format());
} else {
    show standard post
}

Does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks!

A: I solved it by myself and this seems to be working fine:
functions.php:
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
add_action('genesis_entry_content', 'custom_entry_content');
function custom_entry_content() {
    if (get_post_format() == 'gallery' ) {
            get_template_part('content',get_post_format());
        } else {
            the_content();
        }
}//function

content-gallery.php:
<?php
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('gallery_block') ):
    // loop through the rows of data
    while ( have_rows('gallery_block') ) : the_row();
    ?>

                <img src="<?php the_sub_field( 'gallery_block_picture' ); ?>" />

                <?php the_sub_field( 'gallery_block_headline' ); ?>

                <?php the_sub_field( 'gallery_block_content' ); ?>

    <?
    endwhile;
endif;

A Journey through the Great Barrier Reef with David Attenborough
Being at home doesn't mean not being able to dive into the waters of the Pacific and discover the incredible underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Even more, accompanied by one of the greatest naturalists in the world: Sir David Attenborough.
"But how ??", you'll be asking…
This is an interactive trip that you can take in attenboroughsreef.com and for which you don't even have to buy a ticket. You just have to be very curious to know and understand this fabulous ecosystem.
Attenborough welcomes this journey through the Great Barrier Reef
David Attenborough's website is not new. It was launched in 2015 when the documentary series "Great Barrier Reef" was released by BBC One.
However, this virtual trip is back on the agenda, providing a way for people, from home, to visit this natural monument and, simultaneously, learn about the impacts caused by climate change.
Listen to the Reef and see through the eyes of a shrimp
David Attenborough's virtual journey through the Great Barrier Reef has five stops. The first leads us to understand what makes this place so unique.
We are shown how the coral grows, the sound it emits, how it guides different marine species, the migration routes of aquatic mammals, and also allows us to look through the eyes… of a shrimp!
At the second stop of this trip, we get to learn about the fantastic work that marine biologists do to better know this ecosystem, as it is today and as it was thousands of years ago.
Knowing what the coral is like and how it developed over the years have allowed scientists to help in the fight for its preservation.
Following the storm
The climate and weather patterns in this part of the world are also essential to understanding the Great Barrier Reef. That is the theme of the third chapter of this virtual journey.
The currents, water temperature, winds, and global warming are all factors that influence this place, and that, in part, have affected the conservation of this ecosystem.
But what is the future of the Great Barrier Reef?
The answer comes with a visit to the University of Queensland's Heron Island Research Station and following the extraordinary study that has been led by Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg.
In the last chapter of this trip, we realize how we can all make a difference and preserve this incredible place that, in reality, belongs to all of us.
What did you think of this trip through the incredible world of the Great Barrier Reef? What role do you think we can all play in its preservation? Is it a place that you plan to visit someday? Have you ever been there? Share your opinion on this topic in the comment box below.

'Hello 911? I'm driving drunk'
Police get calls about drunken drivers all the time, but rarely do they come from the alleged offender.
Jan. 3, 2009, 7:25 AM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
A 17-year-old girl in Bismarck called 911 on New Year's Eve "to report herself driving under the influence," police Lt. Randy Ziegler said. "I've never heard of such a thing happening, and neither has anyone here."
The girl told authorities her location shortly before midnight Wednesday and officers found her in a parked car near downtown, Ziegler said. She failed a sobriety test and was arrested for failing to have control of her vehicle while intoxicated.
The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, was not cited for drunken driving, Ziegler said.
"Her keys were in her purse and she was parked," Ziegler said. "She did tell us that she had been driving around for hours."
The call probably was a plea for help, he said.
"She told us her life was spiraling out of control, and she had spent the majority of time drinking over the past two weeks," Ziegler said.
The girl was released to her parents Thursday.


RISC | Why use the RISC?
The survey effectively pinpoints more than 80 specific areas where your college can act to improve student success, such as academic advising, course registration, financial aid, online classes, and tutoring. Our unique approach quickly moves students from more general to more specific areas.
What issues did you have registering for courses? Please check all that apply.
The amount of detail the survey provides is unparalleled. You will easily identify actions your college can take to move the needle on student success. View our sample institutional report to see for yourself.
Most student surveys ask about satisfaction with functional areas, such as the financial aid office. These results can be difficult to interpret, because students may simply be dissatisfied with the amount of aid they received, not with how effectively the financial aid office processed their aid.
In our focus groups we discovered students want three things when they interact with your employees: staff that are easily accessible, are concerned about helping them, and can effectively resolve their issue. Instead of satisfaction, the RISC asks students to rate functional areas on these three dimensions.
Because functional areas greatly differ by name across colleges, office names are customized for each campus. Simply tell us which five names you would like to use, and your students will see these names when they take the RISC.
The typical student survey requires students to plow through dozens of questions. Our unique branching approach allows students to respond only to questions that are relevant to them. For example, students rate functional areas only if they indicate they interacted with the area during the current semester.
The online version of the survey takes students 7 minutes to complete; the in-class version requires a total of 20 minutes of class time.
Great survey. Asked all the right questions concerning students [sic] education and their environment.
I think these are great questions. I hope you will use the information you gather to make improvements at [deleted].
It wasn't annoying, I didn't mind doing it. It covered a lot of important areas quickly.
This was a good survey, I hope that the information I provided will help to strengthen the college.
Survey costs do not increase with the number of respondents, so we charge a flat fee of $2,000 per college. This includes administration of the survey, generation of and electronic copies of all reports, and a copy of the survey dataset.
Your campus can add ten additional questions to the survey for only $500. To cover the cost of personalized information sheets for students, there is a fee of $500 for in-class administration.

Q: Why is average power: the average of the voltage squared/resistance rather than the ((voltage average)^2)/resistance? Regarding pulse waves specifically. So this should be especially simple.
I see it written that
$$\text{average power} = \text{average current} \times \text{average voltage}$$
which also equals
$$ \frac {\text{average voltage} \times\text{average voltage}} {\text{resistance}}$$
This equals $$\frac {(\text{average voltage})^2} {\text{resistance}}$$
But the actual calculation is $$\text{average}(\frac {\text{voltage}^2} {\text{resistance}} )$$.

A: You can see for yourself that you get different results calculating two different ways. For example, a 10% duty cycle rectangular wave, 0 to V volts, has (square of the average voltage)/resistance = V^2/100R, but the average of (voltage^2/Resistance) is V^2/10R and that's the actual power dissipated averaged over time.

A:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Figure 1. A simple periodic waveform stepping from 0 to 1 to 2 V.
Let's assume a 1 Ω load to make it easy.
Average voltage
The average voltage over the period (3 s) is \$ \frac {0 + 1 + 2} 3 = 1 \ \text V \$.
If we use that to calculate the average power in 1 Ω we would get \$ P = \frac {V^2} R = \frac {1^2} 1 = 1 \ \text W \$.
RMS voltage

simulate this circuit
Figure 2. The power waveform for the voltage of Figure 1 into a 1 Ω load.
RMS is the Root of the Mean (average) of the Squares:
$$ V_{RMS} = \sqrt {\frac {V_{01}^2 + V_{12}^2 + V_{23}^2} 3} = \sqrt {\frac {0 + 1 + 4} 3} = \sqrt {\frac 5 3 \ \text V} = 1.29 \ \text V $$
If we use that to calculate the average power in 1 Ω we would get \$ P = \frac {V^2} R = \frac {1.29^2} 1 = 1.66 \ \text W \$.
Why the difference?
The higher voltage (2 V) portion of the waveform has a much more significant contribution to the mean power due to the square law. You miss that if you take the average first.

We use the RMS value of a waveform to find that DC voltage that would give the equivalent power, not the average voltage. In the more general case (not using simple rectangular waves as I have here) you would use calculus to integrate the area under the curve of the voltage (or current) squared.

The session will discuss the requirements, the risks, and the issues of the increasing use of mobile devices for patient communications and provide a road map for how to use them safely and effectively, to increase the quality of health care and patient satisfaction, Learn what are the risks of using mobile technology, what can go wrong, and what can result when it does.
It seems everyone is moving to a new smart phone and wants to use it in all the incredible ways it can be used, including for health care purposes. New health care apps are being released all the time, and even good old e-mail is being used more and more to communicate, by providers and patients alike.
With the new HIPAA random audit program now getting under way, and increases in enforcement actions following breaches, now is the time to ensure your organization is in compliance with the regulations and meeting the communication needs and desires of its providers and patients. You need the proper privacy protections for health information, and the necessary documented policies and procedures, as well as documentation of any actions taken pursuant to your policies and procedures. Your policies and procedures will probably need major revisions to maintain compliance in areas such as individual access of records, accounting of disclosures, and breach notification. And, of course, you will need to train your staff in all the new policies and procedures"

It was the summer of 2012, and the movement to stop Hong Kong's government from introducing China's national education into city schools launched the careers of activists like Joshua Wong, who later became an international celebrity for standing up to Beijing. After protesters besieged government headquarters for 10 straight days, officials backed down.
Now the government has returned with a scaled-back plan to change how history is taught in Hong Kong's secondary schools. Teachers, parents and legislators are worried about the changes.
The new proposed curriculum for city schools is missing key parts of modern Chinese history, like Hong Kong's 1967 pro-Communist riots against British rulersand the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, when Chinese troops killed hundreds of unarmed pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing.
The new proposed history curriculum for Hong Kong would go into effect in two years. It would require Hong Kong schools to spend more time teaching students about China's modern history — from the Communist revolution in 1949 through its transformation to an authoritarian, capitalist powerhouse today.

WHITTLESEY is the next stop for the PDSA PetCheck vehicle, currently on its sixth tour of the UK on a mission to improve the health of the nation's pets.
The PDSA PetCheck vehicle will be at Manor Leisure Centre on Tuesday May 1 (10am-5.30pm), offering free health checks to dogs.
PDSA veterinary staff will be on hand to provide advice on the care of other popular household pets.
The vehicle will then move on to Wisbech, March and Chatteris. The council's dog warden service is urging dog owners to take advantage of the free health-check offer.
While the check-up is free for everyone, free PDSA treatment is eligible only to pet owners who live within the designated postcode area of a PetAid service and be in receipt of either Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit. More information on reephone 0800 731 2502.
On board the vehicle, PDSA staff will examine the general health of canine visitors checking their weight, teeth, eyes and condition of their coat.
PDSA senior veterinary surgeon, Elaine Pendlebury, said: "During the 2006 PDSA PetCheck tour our figures revealed that obesity in dogs had increased to 21 per cent compared with 17 per cent back in 2003 and dental problems had also soared, reaching 27 per cent in 2006, compared to 21 per cent in 2003.
"Both these conditions can have very serious health implications, so we are urging as many dog owners as possible to visit the PDSA PetCheck vehicle to get their dogs checked over."
For safety reasons, only dogs can be brought along to the PetCheck vehicle, but advice from PDSA veterinary nurses is also freely available on other popular pet species. Owners are asked to keep their dogs on a lead and are reminded not to leave them in parked cars.
For further information contact freephone 0800 917 2509 or visit www.pdsa.org.uk
The PetCheck vehicle will visit the following locations in Fenland:
Tuesday May 1 - Manor Leisure Centre, Whittlesey (10am-5.30pm)
Wednesday May 2 - Hudson Leisure Centre, Wisbech (10am- 5.30pm)
Thursday May 3 - George Campbell Leisure Centre, March (10am-5.30pm)
Friday May 4 -Chatteris Market (10am-5.30pm)

Spring bulbs provide a lovely display in spring. A moderate application of complete organic fertiliser and regular watering in dry weather will help them perform at their best. Once flowering has finished, allow foliage to remain on the plants until it has completely died back. As foliage yellows it is drawing nutrients from the leaves into the bulbs to provide energy for next year's growth. Cutting foliage too soon will only weaken the bulbs.
To keep tomato plants healthy, a deep watering once or twice (in hot, dry weather) a week is better than a daily late watering. As flowers start to form on tomato plants, a light application of a complete organic fertiliser will ensure good cropping.
Just a reminder that it is a legal requirement to remove galls from citrus trees by the end of August. Gall wasps larvae weaken trees. Adult wasps emerge from the galls in September or October and, as gall wasps are poor flyers, they prefer to lay their eggs in new shoots on the same tree. If you haven't already done so, check citrus trees (especially grapefruit and lemons) now and prune off any galls. Galls are swellings in a section of main stems or fruit stalks. Old galls are dotted with tiny holes where previous wasps have emerged. Burn prunings or dispose of them in a sealed plastic bag.
For gardeners who do not use moon planting: sow or plant out any of the following list at any time this month, although you may find germination rates are poor when the Moon is in Last Quarter phase.
During Full Moon phase: [from all day on 1st to all day on 4th October]. In frost-free areas, Jerusalem artichoke, carrot, potato and radish can be sown directly into beds, and banana passionfruit, passionfruit and tropical guava can be planted. Asparagus seed, beetroot, sweet potato and chives can be sown in a cold frame.
After frost, avocado, blueberry, citrus, cherry guava, macadamia, olive, marjoram, oregano, sage, rosemary, French tarragon, thyme and evergreen trees, shrubs and vines can also be planted.
During Last Quarter phase: [No sowing between 5th and 12th October.] A good phase for removing weeds that can be hosts for garden pests and for general garden maintenance.
Before Full Moon: [from all day on 14th to 6:30 pm on 20th and from all day on 22nd to 10:am on 27th]. Bush and climbing beans, suitable Chinese cabbage, grain crops, rocket, NZ spinach, tatsoi, sunflower and sweet corn can be sown directly into beds, as well as a green manure crop of clover, buckwheat, millet, Japanese millet, pigeon pea, soybean – or sorghum late in October.
Cabbage, capsicum, celery, cucumber, eggplant, leek, lettuce, pumpkin, rockmelon, rosella, silver beet, spring onions, summer squash, tomato, watermelon, zucchini, basil, dill, parsley and flowering annuals can be sown or planted out.
Full Moon phase: [from 10:00 am on 28th to all day on 31st]. During Full Moon phase, asparagus seed, banana passionfruit, beetroot, carrot, Jerusalem artichoke, passionfruit, pawpaw, potato, radish, sweet potato, chives and lawn seed can be sown directly into beds. Avocado, blueberry, citrus, tropical and cherry guava, macadamia, mango, pawpaw, marjoram, oregano, sage, rosemary, French tarragon, thyme and evergreen trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials and vines can be planted, and turf laid.
Lightly fertilise young citrus, divide chives and day lilies, and re-pot pot plants.
Spring is really a promising time for gardening. It's the best season to grow any kind of plant. I can't wait for next spring and start planting again. Nice blog post by the way. It's a worth while read.


Quite a while back, I picked up this unusual stone, a yellow variety of magnesite which was very clean and entirely free from the matrix typical in its common form. This was a notoriously difficult to photograph rosary, but I think we've finally captured it in the photos above. It possesses a yellow, almost incandescent quality. I had a couple strands of these rare stones sitting on the bead board for almost a year until I finally found a stone to pair it with--chromium dioposide. Chromium dioposide is a green semi-translucent stone that has gained popularity in recent years. These two stones are the perfect match for one another, creating what is a truly unique rosary that you will not find anywhere else except from Figured & Co.

Mosty Jagiellońskie – zespół czterech jednoprzęsłowych mostów drogowych przerzuconych we Wrocławiu nad kanałami Odry (Kanałem Żeglugowym i Kanałem Powodziowym), łączących osiedla Zacisze i Mirowiec.

Starsze dwa mosty wybudowano w latach 1916-1917 nad świeżo przekopanymi kanałami rzeki w ramach wielkiego projektu udrożnienia transportu drogowego i żeglugi w granicach miasta oraz budowy systemu zabezpieczeń przeciwpowodziowych.
 Południowy most, nad Kanałem Powodziowym, zaprojektowany przez inżyniera Christiana Nakonza, miał stalowy pomost podwieszony na sztywnych wieszakach podtrzymywanych przez dwuprzegubowe dźwigary łukowo-kratowe. Od nazwiska projektanta nosił on nazwę "mostu Nakonza", która przez fonetyczne skojarzenie z peryferyjnym położeniem mostu przekształcona została po II wojnie światowej w nazwę "mostu Na Końcu".
 Krótszy od południowego most północny, wybudowany w 1917 na przedłużeniu południowego nad Kanałem Żeglugowym ma ramowo-belkową konstrukcję z belek żelbetowych; podstawy ramy przęsła wsparte są o konstrukcję znajdującej się tu śluzy "Zacisze".
Mosty Jagiellońskie dopiero w latach 70. uzyskały swoją oficjalną współczesną nazwę. 22 lipca 1984 do eksploatacji oddano niemal bliźniaczo wyglądające nowe mosty, równoległe do poprzednich, położone na zachód od starych, zaprojektowane przez Krystynę Angerman; wybudował je wrocławski "Mostostal". Trzystutonowy most południowy ma 60,70 metrów długości (stary - 60,49 m), a
170-tonowy północny - 39,0 metrów (stary - 21,65 m).

Rebecca Solnit's career and new memoir, The Faraway Nearby, assessed.
The prolific writer and scholar locates the epicenter of our changing world on the left coast.
Rebecca Solnit's new book is The Faraway Nearby.
Typically, the term "outsider artist" describes a particular kind of creator whose identity resides outside the boundaries of the widely held idea of who creates art—notably, outsider artists are often mentally ill, criminal, or very young. Since Roger Cardinal coined the term 40 years ago, many other labels have sprung up to describe the work of artists on the edges of the mainstream (indie, alternative, DIY), but true outsider art resides beyond the fringes of a market niche, in the dark chasm of the unseen, the unheard, and the unlabeled.
What to call, then, an artist like Rebecca Solnit—an independent scholar who has produced 17 books on topics varying from visual art to disaster politics, but who is by no means a household name? Solnit has a dedicated readership, but her claims and ideas often radically challenge mainstream beliefs and systems. She belongs to no institution or organization, and her work often has the idiosyncrasies of an autodidact. Her outsider tendencies are even present in her style: Her circuitous, associative, indirect mode of argument doesn't conform to the standard assertion–evidence–analysis routine of most research-based writing. Solnit is, decidedly, somewhat other.
Though the volume is an exploration of Ireland as a landscape and a political entity, here we are discussing the West—and Westerns! This easy allusion to the West crops up again and again. For Solnit, in this book and in others, the West is either a subject itself or a fulcrum used to help unearth new ideas and unusual analysis.
Perhaps this subject is so productive for Solnit because she is of the West yet outside it at the same time. She grew up in the Bay Area and currently resides in San Francisco, but in works like 2000's Hollow City, she emphasizes her remove from the region's changes over the past two decades. That book, a collaboration with photographer Susan Schwartzenberg, is an account of the first dot-com boom in San Francisco. In it, Solnit weaves anecdotes and images of late-1990s neighborhood-gentrification with accounts of the more sinister and systematic ravages of the same neighborhoods under the guise of "urban renewal" in the 1970s. It's a damning critique of San Francisco's newly wealthy, and as close to a polemic as Solnit gets.
She goes on to observe that Hollywood and Silicon Valley—California's two most visible centers of industry—have changed the world from "a world of places and materials to a world of representations and information, a world of vastly greater reach and less solid grounding." Unlike, say, Jaron Lanier or Evgeny Morozov, Solnit doesn't have an insider's comprehension of the nuts and bolts of this transformation. She does not engage with technology at a granular level. She simply suggests—elegantly and through almost every topic she takes up—that we are in the midst of a sea change, and that the West is its center.
Solnit has approached the mythic West from an impressive range of angles: through California Cold War artists (Secret Exhibition, 1990), through American Indian history (Savage Dreams, 1994), through photographic exegesis (Yosemite in Time, 2005), through cartography (Infinite City, 2010). Not every book of Solnit's, however, has the West as a grounding element. There's a subset of her work that leans more toward memoir, though that label isn't entirely accurate. And when Solnit's distance collapses—when she relies on purely personal material, that is—she can become too abstract, as in one of her best-loved books, 2006's A Field Guide to Getting Lost.
Note that the idea, west, is still here, but it's tellingly lowercased. It's as if Solnit is describing her own personal, internalized version of west—a "surprise, a gift, a revelation." Interesting and beautiful, to be sure, but rather pale in comparison to the oracular eye she brings to the larger, iconic West. The book lacks the edge of one like Wanderlust: A History of Walking, a 2001 Sebaldian exploration of landscape tempered by occasional critique of American car culture. Where Wanderlust had politics, Field Guide has only poetry.
Solnit's new book, The Faraway Nearby, is being marketed as a companion piece to Field Guide. That's an accurate description, both in content and in spirit. Faraway is another mostly personal book— it deals with Solnit's mother's struggle with Alzheimer's, Solnit's own breast cancer scare, and her trip to Iceland for a writing residency. The book is a lovely one that, not unlike Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, may bring many readers catharsis or consolation. But its universality feels somewhat hollow. One loves Solnit more for her intelligence and her uprightness than for the broadness of her appeal.
Perhaps my trouble with both Field Guide and Faraway is that in them, Solnit no longer plays the outsider. There's nothing more universal than a meditation on the human body, after all. And while there are many ways in which Solnit is not a true outsider artist—she's engaged with a larger writing community and tradition, her work is widely distributed, she is not isolated or institutionalized—when she's positioned as somewhat at odds and apart from her subject matter, her prose takes on an urgency that's electric. She's not railing at the gates in these more personal books, and stacked against her larger body of work, perhaps it's unavoidable that they feel less immediate.
Here is Solnit at her most stimulating: pointed (even outraged), grounded in history, observing from the outside. We're back in the West, too, and Solnit's long study of it produces an easy familiarity here; she's not afraid of repetition or colloquialism. Will Solnit's message get through? Being invisible—or worse, ignored—is the risk an outsider takes. But the more specifically and critically she grapples with the systems and people that form the West today, the more crucial Solnit's writing gets. Her message is one that a city with a tech-booster mayor, with an economic engine disinterested in supporting the arts, social justice, or community, with a guiding ethos of the quick, the flashy, the "disruptive," and the virtual, needs to hear.
The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca Solnit. Viking.


http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | When Howard Dean began running for president, some in his campaign imagined he would play the role of Josiah Bartlet, the sometimes ornery but brilliant and lovable president on "The West Wing."
In fact, Dean's campaign style was more like that of another fictional character: Howard Beale, the angry prophet from the film "Network," who was mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.
Dean's anger was directed not only at George W. Bush, but also at those Democrats who were backing Bush's Iraq war, tax cuts and No Child Left Behind legislation.
"I'm Howard Dean, and I'm here to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party!" Dean thundered in February 2003, as he began his race for the Democratic nomination.
He still represents that wing, but now as chairman of the party. And he has not really changed his tone much.
"We used to be the moral leader of the world before George Bush went into Iraq," Dean said. "And we need to return to that position, and we will with a Democratic president in '08.
"I've been to Europe a couple of times, I am going again in April to do something with the Italian parliament, and one of the things I hope to do, in addition to winning the presidential election, is to help prepare the next administration's way in terms of repairing the extraordinary damage that the Republicans have done."
Dean said that the problem was not just the American invasion of Iraq — "that we could have overcome," he said — but "the contemptuousness with which the Republicans treated everybody" after the invasion.
Dean believes that the White House has tried to punish the countries that did not back the U.S. invasion. "When your foreign policy is based on retribution and vindictiveness, it is not a serious foreign policy," Dean said.
Dean said the White House has tried to punish Mexico for that reason and that it has been "a terrible mistake."
We talked about immigration, and I asked if there was a unified Democratic position on it.
"I think there is a much more unified Democratic position than there is a Republican position," he said. "The Republicans have decided they don't want to do anything about immigration because they are scared.
"For the short-term purpose of winning in '06, they ginned up a big anti-immigrant fervor which helped them in a few races, turned Hispanics against them by 12 more points, and now they don't know how to get out of it."
Dean said that Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who co-sponsored a bipartisan immigration reform bill last year, "is having a hard time putting together a bipartisan bill because the Republicans are running away as fast as they can. And we can't pass a bill that isn't bipartisan. Frankly, I think that has a lot to do with presidential politics and a complete lack of presidential leadership."
Dean also said: "The best kind of immigration reform is a much better working relationship with Mexico. We will never solve immigration problems in this country without improving the Mexican economy dramatically."
On what to do about getting U.S. troops out of Iraq, Dean said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are doing the right thing by "being measured."
"I think by the end of '08 is a good deadline," Dean said. "I think Reid and Pelosi are taking a very smart, thoughtful, careful tack, slowly moving us in the right direction without doing it so fast that anybody could say we lack responsibility or didn't understand the gravity of the situation. I think Harry and Nancy are really doing a good job.
"And I don't have to say that, as you know," he added with a laugh. "I mean, neither one of them wanted me in this job."
Once in the job, Dean angered powerful figures in the party by spending millions of dollars on building up Democratic Party staffing in all 50 states, instead of siphoning more of those dollars to Democratic candidates in 2006.
"This is a historic opportunity, and we can't squander it," Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who was chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in May 2006 after an angry meeting with Dean.
Several stories followed, quoting unidentified Democratic sources saying Dean was throwing away the party's chance for victory in November. And it looked like some wanted to cast Dean as the scapegoat if the Democrats lost.
I got the impression you were being set up to take the fall, I said to Dean last week.
"Oh, it's probably true," he said. And then he laughed again.

Those men that are lacking in confidence will usually be outright dismissed.
Really, can you blame women for taking such an attitude towards men that lack confidence?
My website, Seeking Arrangement.com, is the largest website where generous men can meet attractive women.
There is a fact of life when it comes to attracting women.
Those that possess a high level of confidence will be highly attractive to women.
Looking out onto Main Street, one can behold twenty-first century Rosie the Riveters exiting town cars into granite and glassbuildings in Jimmy Choos and Christian Louboutins.
Men sought out women who had the biological qualifications such as wide hips and full breasts for bearing children, as well as women who would generally make good "housewives." It is easy to say the needs of successful men haven't changed and dismiss the matter, but that is not true.
The last recession had a sobering effect on American families: A singular breadwinner is a thing of the best.
The way a woman carries herself when she walks, or her gait, was third on the list. It shows manners and confidence, two key qualities successful men sought in wives.
26% of those surveyed said that a proper balance of speed and posture exuded grace, which caught their attention regardless of what task they had at hand. 78% claimed that beautiful women who slouched greatly decreased their overall beauty.

Brand refresh strategy for United Way in Salem
by Jennifer Morrow | Sep 9, 2013 | 0 comments
Live United to the Power of 5
Creative Company has been chosen by United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley to manage a brand refresh strategy for the 2013 United Way campaign, which kicks off on October 3, 2013 at the Salem Convention Center. The campaign will reach Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties in Oregon.
Randy Franke, a former Marion County commissioner who began as Executive Director for United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley in December, 2012, initially discussed a messaging strategy with Creative Company's president, Jennifer Larsen Morrow. After regrouping with his new campaign team, Franke chose Creative Company to carry out the messaging and fresh design into key marketing communications, to establish a visual and verbal brand.
Rather than following all of United Way's messaging, the theme "Live United to the Power of 5" was chosen to bring action to all communications. Building on the United Way brand standards, Creative Company designed more visual elements to unify communications.
The three areas of focus–Education, Income and Health–used by United Way were updated to focus on the outcomes the campaign aims to meet, rather than the categories of work. These phrases are more descriptive and inspiring for those who want to give time or dollars.
Education is now "Knowledge + Skills — Building stronger families, achieving potential through education."
Health is now "A Healthy Life — Protecting from harm, improving access to healthcare."
And Income is now "A Positive Future–Meeting basic needs, supporting financial stability."
"The concept of the 'Power of 5' gives us ways to communicate how different people can become involved, from '5 reasons to give' to '5 reasons to bring United Way to your workplace' we have defined brief, memorable statements that will resonate with individuals, employers, donors and volunteers." Jennifer Larsen Morrow, campaign strategist
The campaign's theme, Live United to the Power of 5, builds on the national United Way theme, LIVE UNITED. With this brand refresh strategy, national campaign advertising, existing photographs and promotional materials can be integrated into the new campaign. Photos have been shot of this year's campaign leaders in their LIVE UNITED T-shirts and used in banners, brochures and other marketing tools.
The flyers targeted to donors for United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley
Five reasons to bring a campaign to a workplace, flyer for employers
Supported by five calls to action—Give 5 Dollars, Tell 5 Friends, Give 5 Hours, Join 5 People, and Add 5 More—the visuals are bold and eye-catching. They use United Way brand colors and fonts to support visual consistency, but add an angled shadow to headline elements for more dimension.
Save the Date card for the Campaign Kickoff for United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley
From a "save the date" card and invitation for the October 3rd Campaign Kick-off, to brochures for different audiences, banners, updated stationery and easy-to-use templates, a PowerPoint presentation and thank you cards, Creative Company is setting the stage for a five-year theme that will build attention and response. Future work will include a website redesign and added campaign materials.
Additional emphasis is being placed on the website and social media, to build younger audiences and give them another way to access information and give their time and dollars. New imagery for the home page and extra pages will be added to the current website before redesigning and launching a new, mobile-friendly website next year.
Franke has also established a "President's Leadership Circle." Funds raised from membership will be directed towards campaign expenses. These community leaders will be invited to give advice around strategies to improve results. Inaugural participants will be acknowledged as founding partners.
"Our United Way has a significant program to carry out in the tri-county area. We need strong marketing to gain more visibility and create fresh excitement around the campaign, and to reach our five-year goals. I felt Creative Company offered the experience and capabilities, as well as knowledge of the communities we serve, to make a difference for us." Randy Franke, Executive Director, United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley
SILVER WINNER for Integrated Campaign
The brand refresh will reach employers and employees throughout Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties. It will also target individuals and volunteers with the message, "Live United to the Power of 5." The campaign's goal this year is to raise $4 million, as stated by Executive Director Franke. With strong messaging as the foundation and graphics and photos designed to add energy and excitement, this year's brand refresh strategy will set a strong foundation for the next five years.

MAGAZINE: HOW TO KEEP SUMMER NEWCOMERS ABOARD – Won't You Come Paddle With Me, Again?
With Covid has come an increase in participation in paddle sports and an influx of new participants. Now the question is, how do we keep them?
Despite the challenges of COVID, the months of lockdown and restrictions gave an unexpected boon for the outdoor industry. With access to more traditional activities on hold, paddle sports- whether kayaking or SUP- gained a new audience as they proved a perfect opportunity to be both active and socially distant. Now, rather than asking, how do we get more people to try paddlesports, the question becomes, what will help these new participants fall in love with paddlesports and keep them coming back for more?
Paddlesports has something for everyone, from fitness to leisure to family fun to more extreme adventure and the feeling of exploring off the beaten path
Paddlesports has something for everyone, from fitness to leisure to family fun to more extreme adventure and the feeling of exploring off the beaten path. Many are first attracted to the lifestyle and escape from the reality of daily life. It is the smile, the joy, the beauty of a day out on the water; the hangouts at camp, on rocks and docks, the shared moments with family and friends. It is the image of what life could be and what we want it to be.

Creating the association that paddling (and exercise) is good for you can draw in users who traditionally visited the gym or those looking for motivation to get off the couch. Emily Jackson of Jackson Kayak points out that "Very few people first start running because they like running, they do it for the health benefits." What keeps people running- and paddling- is the endorphins and euphoria that accompany the experience. It is the "good feels" that follow the sport that makes people hunger for their next outing. As Jackson rightly suggests, promoting the physical and health benefits of going for a paddle may not only help draw people to the sport but also keep them in it until the "good feels" take over.
For many, Jackson identifies, COVID brought the opportunity to try something new and the illusion of having the time to do it.
Yet to fully have success requires a societal shift and the re-prioritization of our health and well-being, a development of the belief that paddlesports and outdoor recreation are necessary and healthy. For many, Jackson identifies, COVID brought the opportunity to try something new and the illusion of having the time to do it. As life slowly shifts back towards "normal" obligations, reminding people that making time to do things they enjoy (not to mention getting outside) is both healthy and necessary will be vital.
©Jp Australia/Paddlesportshow
This shift in mentality and belief that paddlesports and outdoor recreation are necessary and beneficial for physical and mental health and well-being is already underway. In many regions, recreation, including "non-motorized boat use and rentals, such as rowboats, kayaks, canoes," was considered an essential business and service during restrictions and lockdowns. The ability for rental businesses to remain open during pandemic shutdowns was a considerable benefit for welcoming newcomers to the sport. Access equals relevance, and access to a rental market is crucial, as many cannot afford to purchase or store the bulky- and often expensive- paddlesport products.
Maximizing exposure to paddlesports by placing images and products at the customer's fingertips, both digitally and in the physical world, drives interest and normalizes the sport.
"Nothing beats a sunny summer day with 30-40 kayaks and SUPs paddling around, with plenty of room to socially distance in acres of fresh air."
"We were one of the few activities New Yorkers could do," explains Manhattan Kayak + SUP owner Eric Stiller. The introductory kayak and SUP classes Stiller offers were fully booked all summer long, with tours and rentals filled almost exclusively by super local and local clients. Stiller was not alone in seeing an uptick in new customers, and outfitters around the world were taken by storm as people flocked to try something new. When asked what will keep people coming back or even inspire them to buy a boat or board of their own, Stiller replies, "Nothing beats a sunny summer day with 30-40 kayaks and SUPs paddling around, with plenty of room to socially distance in acres of fresh air."
What about the experience makes paddlesports stand out? Currently, paddlesports provides the potential for adventure and exploration in a world where travel is limited. Embracing a new challenge and exploring new horizons close to home, whether rivers, lakes, or coast, allows people a taste of freedom that combats the claustrophobic reality of lockdown and restrictions and makes the beauty of a day on the water even more appealing.
Entry into a new sport, especially one filled with forums and advice, also provides community when many of us feel cut-off or isolated. We need quality and qualified advice at shops and outfitters, making the link between instruction and retail more crucial than ever.Continuing to build and develop online and in-person communities where users and enthusiasts feel welcome and connected to something larger than their own experience will also help sustain and keep people looking forward to their next paddling mission.
Increased access to gear, plus improvements in the way gear fits, looks, and feels to be both user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing are also critical.
Increased access to gear, plus improvements in the way gear fits, looks, and feels to be both user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing are also critical. Rather than relegating paddlesports to having been fun once you are safely on land, it needs to be fun to do and share with others, both online and in real life, while you are doing it.
Whatever inspired the initial exposure, the hope is always that the experience in itself will attract some newcomers enough to make them lifers. Yet to retain the influx of pandemic paddlers, the key lies in making paddling relevant enough in people's lives that they want to do it whenever they can, and easy enough to do however they want. More, we need to make sure that they look and feel good while engaging in the sport. We can lure people in with the image or representation of a lifestyle that appeals to the person the months of quarantine has made us want to be. Then, we need to let them be that person in a place, a community, that is comfortable and welcoming. If we can help newcomers feeling good and looking good and excited about the sport, then we can keep them paddling.
