The Open Book on BI
The Intersection of Web 2.0 BI and Open Source
Building on the Success of Open Core, guest post by Matt Aslett
My thanks to Matt Aslett from The 451 Group for guest blogging here at The Open Book on BI. Matt has been an active participant in the debate on open core, and has agreed to share his last words on the topic here today. The views and opinions expressed are his own.
Building on the success of Open Core
Thanks to Brian Gentile for the chance to guest post on the debate surrounding open source business models. Brian recently joined that debate, writing that the Open Core model offers the best model for community and commercial success.
I absolutely agree that Open Core is a successful strategy. In the report, Open Source is Not a Business Model, we noted that it is now the most popular commercial open source licensing strategy, used by 23.7% of the 114 vendors we assessed and 40.4% of those that were using a commercial licensing strategy to generate revenue from open source.
However, I also recently questioned whether the Open Core model is sustainable in the long-term (I'm thinking 5-10 years).
This is partially based on my belief that we will see a shift away from vendor dominated open source projects (such as MySQL and JasperSoft) to vendor-dominated open source communities (such as Eclipse and Symbian) during this period, but also because there are other potential problems that arise with the Open Core model.
Rather than re-hash those issues here I thought it would be better to use this guest-post opportunity to suggest some strategies that could be used to ensure a sustainable implementation of the Open Core model.
Many of these are being implemented by the various Open Core vendors - including JasperSoft - and with that in mind - along with the final caveat that unlike Brian I am the chicken in this debate (involved but not committed) - these are the issues that I think are critical to a successful Open-Core model:
Be absolutely transparent about licensing. Potential customers don't like feeling confused or misled and it is vital that the marketing makes it clear that the community version is open source and the enterprise edition is not. Personally, I believe that Open Core vendors could and should be referred to as "open source vendors" but that is something of a hypothetical construct. What is clear is that if the product in question does not use an OSI-approved license it is not open source, and should not be referred to as open source.
Don't promise what you can't deliver
On a related note, open core vendors must avoid overselling the benefits of open source. Be an advocate for open source, but never forget that the revenue generating products and features are not open source. Tarus Balog of the OpenNMS Group recently highlighted the theoretical contradiction at the heart of the Open-Core model in the context of the request from open source vendors, including some open core advocates, for open source to be included in President Obama's economic stimulus plans. If you ask the government to mandate open source, don't be surprised if it insists on the source code to your proprietary functionality. Similarly in our Cost Conscious report, we found that 73% of end users surveyed expected to generate cost savings from deploying open source software through reducing the cost of software licenses. Clearly some of them are going to be disappointed if they need to be deploying software licenses to get the functionality they require.
The new UK government policy on open source software also makes the distinction between the treatment of open source licensed products and the exit, rebid and rebuild costs associated with proprietary software. Yes, there are licensing mechanisms that can be used to ensure Open-Core products can be used as part of pro-open source adoption policies, but Open-Core vendors must make sure they are not selling customers a vision of open source while delivering the proprietary licenses they are supposedly trying to avoid.
The further removed the proprietary functionality is from the needs of community users the less likely it is that the community will develop their own alternatives and the easier it will be to manage the needs of both commercial and community users. If the vendor is hearing constant demands from the community for features in the enterprise version then the balance is wrong. It might sound like a great opportunity for up-sell but if the community users are never going to pay for the enterprise product then it just creates confusion and antagonism. When deciding on proprietary features vendors should create a list of features that is only ever going to solve the problems faced by enterprise customers. In the context of the law of Conservation of Attractive Profits, articulated by Clayton Christensen in The Innovator's Solution, it also makes sense for a vendor to focus its attention further up the value chain than the stage it is actively commoditizing with the open source community version.
Care in the community
Brian is right to say that "Community and Commercial customers form a necessary and symbiotic virtuous circle" and that "done properly, the resulting broad use yields benefit and value to both the Community and Commercial customers." Doing it properly means looking after and understanding the community. Among other things a vendor needs to:
Hire a proven, experienced and respected community manager to liaise between the company and the community
Create a forge - if you don't know who your community is and what they are doing with the software you cannot hope to understand why an individual or company is part of the community and respond to their wants and needs.
Encourage partners to become part of the community, rather than part of commercial partnerships, to help improve the core code base and enable new commercial strategies.
Keep an eye on the bigger picture
Defining and creating understanding about licensing and revenue strategies is important but philosophical debates between open source vendors can appear from the outside like a fight between two bald men over a comb (and yes I am totally aware that I am guilty of propagating the current debate, I fully intend this will be my last word on the subject of Open Core for a while). Michael Tiemann recently claimed that the world wastes $1 trillion per year in "dead-loss writeoffs of failed proprietary software implementations" and maintained that open source software is the way to solve that problem. He also stated that "semi-proprietary strategies... are all too clever by half, because they all imagine winning the next battle in a war that's already been lost." Of course he might not be right, but $1 trillion makes it worth thinking about.
I realize that for many Open Core vendors I am preaching to the converted. Many of the same themes were discussed on a panel on open source at the recent Accel Symposium at Stanford, for example.
Open Core is definitely the most popular and successful model of commercial open source in use today, and I expect it to remain so for the next few years, but the conclusion of Sun's Zack Urlocker on that Accel open source panel is worth bearing in mind:
"There are many different ways to skin this cat. There isn't one single model for commercializing open source, and things will continue to evolve as the market expands. What worked in the past may not always apply in the future."

You make statements like "I absolutely agree that Open Core is a successful strategy". I've heard this before in other places and I've always wondered where the supporting evidence is.
I don't mean to be confrontational, but those I've heard claiming "success" with this model of having free (both as in beer and speech) and paid-only features of what is essentially the same product all appear to be private start-ups who couldn't keep the lights on without venture funding.
Shouldn't we wait for examples of rapid self-sustaining growth and large exits (all of the signs that used to indicate a successful software-based business model) before declaring "open core" a success?
Kirk Wylie March 2, 2009 at 3:03 PM
@Damon,
You're right, there have only been a few successful exits in the Open Source community since the early days (Red Hat, VA, ...) where one could consider an Open Core aspect. But those have been the only exits full stop:
* MySQL wasn't acquired for Monty, it was acquired (if revenue was at all a reason for that deal) for the commercial side of the licensing equation;
* Zimbra was a revenue loss situation, except for the commercial side, by properly focusing on the commercial vs. community side of things.
I think you'll start to see more and more companies focusing on a split between the people who will never provide revenue, and the people whole will only provide revenue if there are features the other side will never pay for.
You're right, though, these are still early times for exits. There are a lot of firms (Jasper, Spring, Terracotta) that are trying to navigate this towards a successful exit for their investors. Not all of them will succeed.
But my opinion is that knowingly segregating your user base into those who might pay for core++ and those will never pay for anything is a better chance than praying for support contracts.
Perhaps where I'm getting confused is why you have to segregate users into those blanket categories at all.
I'm sure there are plenty of companies that are using your product but say they will never pay a dime for it but they are simultaneously happily paying another company many dimes for some different product (open source or closed) or service. Your classification puts them in freeloader bucket while they have plenty of money to spend on things they find valuable.
Instead of creating what is going to seem like an arbitrary line that exists for no other reason then to COMPEL those existing users to pay for something, why not create completely separate offerings that people are willing to happily pay for? (products or services that address the same users but don't interfere with the open source project). The model of parallel products and services that don't interfere with the project or retard community use seemed to work wonders for the few big OSS exits we can all cite. Why go a different direction now?
This mixing of business models doesn't seem to serve anyone's needs but investors on whiteboards who long for the old days before OSS existed.
"Instead of creating what is going to seem like an arbitrary line that exists for no other reason then to COMPEL those existing users to pay for something, why not create completely separate offerings that people are willing to happily pay for?"
Absolutely - as I wrote above the further removed the proprietary functionality is from the needs of community users the better. If a vendor is trying to "compel" community users to pay for the enterprise product then the balance is wrong.
I have voiced my doubts about whether Open Core will prove to be self-sustaining in the long-term http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/2009/02/23/on-open-source-business-strategies-again/ and prove successful beyond generating enough momentum to attract a buyer.
It is definitely early days for the Open Core strategy and due to its relative immaturity we have yet to see many exits, so the measure for success I would use at this stage is revenue growth.
Recently JasperSoft announced 75% business growth, Zmanda claimed to have quadrupled revenue and subscribers, Zenoss announced 382% revenue growth, KnowledgeTree announced 91% revenue growth and xTuple claimed 250% sales growth.
You are also right that the strategy is partially driven by the needs of venture funding but if they did not see signs of potential returns they would not continue to invest

Quality information is helping to drive the cannabis movement forward. However, cannabis literature is often overlooked due to the massive amounts of articles and resources online. This needs to change, because some of the most useful information available to the cannabis community and industry is ink printed on paper.
The following eight books cover a broad spectrum of the literature that is available today. The authors are some of the most renowned and respected individuals in the cannabis space, and their expertise can help everyone better understand cannabis culture, history, and science.
One of the most well-known cannabis books series is Ed Rosenthal's The Big Book of Buds (2001). There are currently four volumes with additional manuscripts being prepared for publication as you read this article.
The Big Book of Buds is an incredible look at the diversity of cannabis varietals, including growing characteristics and insights into the general chemotypical qualities one can expect from their cannabis strains.
Rosenthal is a cannabis pioneer and has served as a cultivator, an author, and an activist for several decades. He is currently an extremely popular speaker and presenter at cannabis industry events across the country.
The Cannabible (2001) is another series of books that showers the cannabis plant with love. The author, Jason King, was disappointed by the lack of cannabis varieties being presented to the mainstream enthusiast. The Cannabible series contains three volumes, all packed with photos of strains and their parent genetics.
An interesting note is that both The Big Book of Buds and The Cannabible have evolved as better cannabis information was made available to the public. While many readers have pointed out discrepancies in the earlier volumes of both series, the information has been the backbone of cannabis genetics since the early 2000s.
Jorge Cervantes, author of Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible, is an incredibly respected cannabis expert. Cervantes has traveled around the world, learning about cannabis strains firsthand from diverse groups of people, and has since recombined all of the techniques to master the art of cannabis cultivation.
Cervantes has long been a staple in the cannabis competition community as well, and his explanations of evaluating cannabis have been viewed across the web hundreds of thousands of times. Marijuana Horticulture covers everything from grow room setups to fertilizer use, disease and pest prevention as well as hash making.
Jack Herer is probably one of the most famous figures from the early days of cannabis. Sensi Seeds has even dedicated a strain to his prolific work for cannabis.
Herer first published The Emperor Wears No Clothes: Hemp and the Marijuana Conspiracy in 1985, and over ten editions have been re-released since that time.
The book is one of the oldest and most quoted manuscripts associated with modern cannabis in America. Herer does a fantastic job of documenting the historical uses of cannabis and how they have shaped our evolving society.
Peter Maguire and Mike Ritter are certainly qualified to write about the international cannabis trade in the 1970s; they lived it. Thai Stick: Surfers, Scammers, and the Untold Story of the Marijuana Trade is the thrilling and often hilarious account of their adventures traversing the cannabis economies from Bangkok to the Hindu Kush mountains.
Thai Stick does a wonderful job of entertaining readers while simultaneously providing an in-depth look at how landrace strains found their way to California. Genetic strains from places like Thailand, Colombia, and Afghanistan have shaped the thousands of modern cannabis strains available today.
The Cannabis Health Index by Uwe Blesching, PhD, is one of the most comprehensive reviews of clinical cannabis studies available anywhere. Blesching is currently a contributing PhD author for Cannabis Reports, and has amassed hundreds of additional studies for the medical database on our site (which is currently listing 590 studies for 135 conditions between 1971 and 2016).
Blesching reviews each study as it relates to a particular condition, disease or symptom. Individually, studies are assigned a CHI value that averages the type of study with the key findings to produce a user-friendly reference for the value of evidence provided by the study.
Blesching also includes valuable information that addresses healing beyond just cannabis. Mind-body medicine, holistic attitudes, and nutritional examinations of spices are also included.
Clarke and Merlin back up each of their statements with authoritative references in what is one of the first complete accounts of where cannabis came from and how it got to where it is today.
Handbook of Cannabis is a very serious scientific text. Along with contributing authors Ethan Russo, Marnie Duncan, and Wayne Hall, editor Roger Pertwee addresses cannabinoid science and applications in pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and beyond.
This handbook (read: textbook) is a phenomenal reference guide for any individual or organization that wants to back up their reasons for participating in the cannabis industry. It is certainly not an easy read, but the information combining therapeutic targets and sought-after effects is worth the time for anyone devoted to medical cannabis.
These eight texts provide cultivators, doctors, educators, and enthusiasts with valuable cannabis information, but they are certainly not the only examples. If you would like some guidance exploring a specific type of cannabis genre, be it cultivation techniques, legal history, or endocannabinoid science, the Cannabis Reports team is happy to help.


Pretty generic line needle, but not obnoxious to play or anything. If you enjoy this style of needle design you should have fun with it. The BGM is nice too.
I wasn't a fan of the solid ceiling, though. Made some jumps unnecessarily complicated. The last stage was also way easier and shorter than the other two.
Actually a pretty decent walking sim, worth 10-15 minutes if you're bored.
The visuals aren't anywhere near as problematic as people on here claim.
Stage 4 has too many free saves, but otherwise this game is great. It's fairly long, but I can't say I ever felt bored with it - pretty much every save felt fresh and inventive in some way, and I was always eager to see what the next save had in store.
Even the boss was fun.
Pretty generic old needle game with touch saves. Not really recommended.
Can't really decide if it wants to make the player figure out setups or just breeze through needle formations, and both design approaches are implemented in a generally boring way.

Foreigners' share of private home buys seen shrinking in first half
Source: Business Times
Foreigners' share of private home purchases in Singapore is expected to decline in the first half of this year, given the harsher additional buyer stamp duty (ABSD) rates imposed on them under the recent property cooling measures, say property consultants.
Last year, foreigners who were not Singapore permanent residents (PRs) accounted for just 6.3 per cent of all private home purchases on the island - the lowest proportion since 2003 and a significant drop from the 17.6 per cent share in 2011, an analysis of URA Realis caveats data showed.
And with the ABSD rate for this group jacked up to 15 per cent since Jan 12 this year, analysts forecast that these non-PR foreigners' share of private home buying will shrink to as low as 3 per cent in the first six months of this year.
PRs' share of private home purchases increased from 13.4 per cent in 2011 to 15.8 per cent last year. This was attributed to first-time PR home buyers being spared the ABSD rod last year. However, things have changed. Since 12 January, PRs have to pay 5 per cent ABSD even on their first Singapore home purchase, and 10 per cent for any subsequent purchases.
As a result, analysts expect the PR buying share to slip in the first half to 5-15 per cent. "The ABSD's impact on PRs is a bit hard to assess as it depends very much on whether it's their first property purchase, in which case a 5 per cent ABSD rate is a figure that some people may be able to stomach, but some can't," says one analyst.
One analyst said that depending on economic sentiment and take-up at new launches, more foreigners (including PRs) could potentially return to the market assuming market conditions normalise towards year-end.
The analysis showed that despite mainland Chinese overtaking Malaysians as the top foreign buyers (including PRs) of private homes in the fourth quarter of last year with a 24.4 per cent share, Malaysians posted the lion's share on a full-year basis. They accounted for 26.1 per cent of caveats lodged by foreigners last year (including PRs), followed by mainland Chinese (22 per cent) and Indonesians (19.4 per cent).
Another trend gleaned is that among the pool of private homes acquired by foreigners including PRs, the proportion of homes located in the suburbs, or Outside Central Region (OCR), has been picking up in recent years. Last year, OCR accounted for 55 per cent of the 7,124 private homes bought by foreigners, up from a 49 per cent share in 2011 and 39 per cent share in 2010. The trend reflects a shift in foreigners' focus to more affordably priced suburban homes following the ABSD's introduction in late 2011. Furthermore, it predicts this OCR share will rise by up to 5 percentage points this year, given that the high-end market has become relatively less attractive as an investment asset or accommodation choice following the latest round of ABSD rate hikes.

61% of Q Bay Residences sold so far
Source: Today
Q Bay Residences at Tampines has sold 312 out of its 510 launched units as of Monday, after its launch last weekend.
The project is jointly developed by Fraser and Neave (F&N), Far East Organization and Sekisui House.
According to a statement released by F&N on Tuesday, the units were sold at an average price of S$1,007 per sq ft.
Excluding Q Bay Residences, F&N said it has a total unsold inventory of 299 units, or about 5 per cent of projects currently under development.
The unsold inventory is primarily from the eCo, Palm Isles, Seastrand and Flamingo Valley private residential projects.
F&N said it plans to launch its remaining site in Woodlands by the second quarter of 2013. This will be jointly developed with Lum Chang Binjai Holdings, and is expected to yield around 500 units.

Cooling measures need not be so 'blunt'
Property developer GuocoLand, the Singapore-listed firm controlled by Malaysian billionaire Quek Leng Chan, would like to see a more calibrated approach to property cooling measures by the Government rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
GuocoLand, which focuses mainly on the top end of the market, also feels that the Government should pay less attention to the private sector.
"It should concentrate on its role of providing affordable housing for the masses. It already caters to more than 80 per cent of the population compared with Hong Kong, where the public sector is less than 50 per cent," said its Chief Operating Officer, Mr Cheng Hsing Yao. "If people can afford S$2 million EC (executive condominium) penthouses, they do not need government help. It should interfere in the remaining 20 per cent of the market as little as possible."
While GuocoLand thinks that the current measures will have little adverse impact on its sector of the market, it expects sales across the industry to slow down but with prices staying broadly flat.
Meanwhile, GuoccoLand's group head for Singapore, Ms Trina Loh suggested that changing the system of having "reserve" prices on land sales might offer another way of moderating property prices. As the reserve price is based on historic property values and not the future outlook of the market, "perhaps we should look at auctions, like how Hong Kong conducts its land sales".
Ms Loh was also not happy with the decision to start charging for private enclosed space (PES). In a hot climate, such open spaces provide some relief and charging for the space will discourage developers from providing such amenities, she feels.
GuocoLand thinks the latest efforts by the Government to cool the market are "unlikely to be its last", especially in the current low interest rate environment.
SBF Center office units see keen interest
Far East Organization's SBF Center has been receiving keen interest in the weeks leading up to its official launch, as investors continue to flock to the commercial sector in search of better deals.
Business Times understands that the office space is being marketed from about $3,300 psf of which those within the $3,300-$3,500 psf range have met with keen expression of interest; the medical suites are being marketed at between $3,800 and $4,000 psf.
Specifically, some interest has been garnered for the whole floor plates (office), which are located around the middle floors.
The 99-year leasehold development features 197 offices - 192 smaller strata units ranging from 592-1,442 sq ft and 10,549 sq ft for five floor plate offices - and 48 medical suites of between 614 and 1,345 sq ft up for sale.
Lee Sze Teck, senior manager, training, research and consultancy, at DWG said that he expects keener interest in commercial projects as compared to industrial projects. "SBF Center should see very healthy interest because strata office space, especially new ones, are not easy to find," he said.
That being said, industrial projects that have completed construction and have a ready tenant might see interest from investors. "The rental will be able to help them cover some of the mortgage instalments," said Mr Lee. "And, these investors are likely going in for the long term and so are less concerned about the sellers' stamp duty."
Mr Lee said he expects strata office space prices to climb as much as 10 per cent this year, while prices of retail space could remain flat due to uncertain market conditions.
Another analyst said that those looking at longer term investment will continue to look to industrial properties.
"Sellers of the commercial/retail developments might increase their asking price by between 5 and 10 per cent - due to the heightened interest - resulting in a higher total quantum pricing. "On the basis that all things being equal, and with rents for commercial/retail developments expected to stay relatively flat, this may result in an erosion of yield returns. Investors may then return to the industrial sector, where they find yield comparatively attractive, on top of the lower upfront cash outlay," he suggested.
Most experts see industrial property prices to continue rising
Source: Channelnewsasia
It's all quiet on the industrial property front more than a week after Singapore's first cooling measure on the sector kicked in.
Most market experts are confident that industrial property prices will hold steady and may even increase by up to 15 per cent this year.
But there're others who believe the sector is set for a correction.
Experts said unlike the Additional Buyers' Stamp duty on residential properties, the Sellers' Stamp Duty will not apply if a property is sold from the fourth year. There's also no additional cost immediately after buyers sign on the dotted line.
An analyst said: "The government only wants to wipe off speculators but not the investors. Since there is no increase in cost to industrial investments, you will probably see one or two months of digestion period. This year's increase won't be as strong as last year's - 20 over, 30 per cent. But in the range of 10-15 per cent, I think it is about there. The industrial segment is still supported by very strong investment demand.
DWG's senior research manager, Lee Sze Teck, said: "Property will remain in the positive territory, remaining in the positive territory this year, probably 5 per cent."
But some experts believe Singapore's slowing economy could hit industrial property prices.
One analyst said: "Prior to these measures, there is already a huge over supply in industrial strata units - in many areas like Woodlands, Kaki Bukit, Ubi, Yishun. So with these measures, definitely it will impact the market. I see a downward trend say 15-20 per cent in 2013, 2014.

The show's title card.
Status: Partially Found
Blue's Clues is an American children's television show that ran on Nickelodeon from 1996 to 2006. Blue's Clues is about a dog named Blue and her owner, Steve. The show later moved to a new actor for the owner who went by the name Joe. The series would later return in 2019 with new episodes along with a new host named Josh.
Due to the rise in popularity surrounding Blue's Clues, a Korean adaptation would be produced. This version of Blue's Clues would air on South Korean television network KBS2 starting on July 24, 2000[1] and ended on November 3, 2001[2]. The major difference between the American and the KBS2 versions of the show is how the character of Steve was replaced by a different character referred to as "Uncle," played by comedian HyunShup Shin. Another change made to the Korean adaptation was the opening theme song to the show being replaced by a Korean folk song.[3]

Another brief clip of the series was shown on the Blue's Clues 10th-anniversary special Behind the Clues: 10 Years with Blue.
Along with the limited footage available, a Korean blogger managed to find a tape containing some footage of the KBS2 version of Blue's Clues and posted some screenshots of the footage they found.[7] Another Korean blogger got a hold of the theme song to the adaptation and posted it onto their blog.[3]
On June 16th, 2020, a full episode of the series would resurface after being uploaded to YouTube by the user 빛나는길TV (Shining Road TV).[8]

Why is the sky blue? A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.

School slammed over canteen which bans all packed lunches – and only serves halal meat and water
by Jess Young
Aureus School in Oxfordshire.
A school has been branded "draconian" after it banned all packed lunches – and only serves water and HALAL meat.
Aureus School has come under fire from parents for its strict stance on its food policy.
Packed lunches are banned, and pupils and staff sit down to eat in the canteen together with an emphasis on eating healthily and socially.
Students and staff get to choose from eating a hot halal meat meal, hot gluten-free vegetarian meal, a jacket potato, a salad, a pasta pot or a baguette.
The school in Didcot, Oxon, insists that only water may be drunk on site because "hydrated brains learn better".
Executive headteacher Hannah Wilson said: "Food education closes the poverty gap and delicious, nutritious should be a universal entitlement.
"With all of the headlines about food banks and obesity, we are preparing our students for healthy lifestyles in the future."
But father who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the rules were "draconian".
He added: "We are thinking of taking her out of the school – it's getting silly and more like a dictatorship. Their views are quite extreme.
"It's about choice. It's supposed to be an inclusive school but they are only catering for one particular religion."
He said the school's insinuation that pupils would not otherwise get a sit-down meal at home, or would only eat unhealthy food, was 'absolutely insulting'.
The father added that he had tried to get the policies changed since September but had been unsuccessful.
The school's written frequently-asked questions addresses the food policies and states: "What we eat is a key influencer on our performance.
"When we eat well, we sleep well, when we sleep well, we perform well. We strive at Aureus to create good habits that will become lifelong routines.
"Sitting down to eat together once a day is an important part of our school culture and ethos.
"All staff sit and eat, but also bond and talk, with our students. These relationships are key in nurturing our school community.
"By ensuring that all students have access to a daily nutritious home-cooked family meal we ensure that all have this equality of opportunity."
Regarding the water-only rule, the FAQs state: "Hydrated brains learn better."
Reiterating the Halal kitchen policy, the document states this is to 'celebrate the diversity of our country's culture'.
In 2013 a Government-backed report compiled by the founders of restaurant chain Leon encouraged more headteachers to consider banning packed lunches.
It stated: "We were approached by many free schools who wanted advice on setting up a first-class food service.
"Among other things, we always advised them to ban packed lunches from the start."
The report noted the rising obesity rates with children and added: "Many parents mistakenly imagine that a packed lunch is the healthiest option.
"In fact, it is far easier to get the necessary nutrients into a cooked meal – even one of mediocre quality.
"Only one per cent of packed lunches meet the nutritional standards that currently apply to school food."
Mum Angela Foster, 32, said: "I'm not too happy about it as my son hates it.
"There's a set menu so sometimes my son goes the whole day without eating anything.
"I get upset because if I gave him packed lunch I know he would eat something. It's a long day to go without food."

On Thursday, Leon Panetta held a press conference announcing what he called "cuts" to military spending. The first question following his remarks pointed out that the "cuts" are to dream budgets, while the actual spending will be increased over Panetta's 10-year plan. Is there any year, the reporter asked, out of the 10 years in question, other than the first one, 2013, in which spending will actually decrease at all? Panetta replied that he was proposing really truly to cut the projected dream budgets that he had hoped for. In other words, he did not answer the question.
Now, there are additional minor cuts "on the table" as the saying goes, cuts that Panetta has described as disastrous, cuts that would take U.S. military spending back to about 2007 levels, cuts nowhere close to what a majority of the country favors. (How we survived 2007 and all the years preceding it has never been explained.) Earlier this week, Republican members of the House Armed Services Committee sent President Obama a video denouncing these cuts. They are, of course, the cuts mandated by the legislation that created the Super Committee, which failed, resulting in supposedly automatic cuts.
The video (available here) is itself packed with lies. It falsely claims that cuts have already been made. It uses dollar figures derived from lumping 10 years of budgets together to make cuts sound 10 times larger. It pretends the automatic cuts would all be to the military, whereas many could be to the State Department and other subsidiary arms of the military. These Republicans propose slashing 10% of non-military government jobs and describe this as saving jobs, even though non-military spending produces more jobs for the same dollars than military spending does. And of course there is no mention in this video or in any official discussion of exactly how outrageously huge the U.S. military has become. But a crazy video, and a bill to go with it, can not only pass the House and make its way into the Senate (Senator John McCain is already working on companion legislation), but the President is already in agreement with this bill's primary purpose of undoing any actual cuts to the military. The history of lame duck officials, by the way, is that of becoming less, not more, representative of the public will. Caveat emptor!
The talk of cuts serves more than a political purpose for Panetta and Obama. It also serves to justify actual cuts to services for troops and veterans even while increasing spending on weapons and occupying new nations. Also announced on Thursday, Obama is working on re-occupying the Philippines. To his credit, there has been no mention of the benefits to "our little brown brothers." There will be an increased Asian presence, Panetta said. The Marines will maintain their Pacific presence, he noted in particular, horribly smashing the hopes of the entire population of Okinawa. There will be no cuts to bombers. We will have a "posture forward" and be able to "penetrate defenses" strengthening "the ability to project power in denied areas," also known as other people's countries. But healthcare fees and deductibles for troops and veterans will have to go up, Panetta said.
The second question asked at Panetta's press conference (how did actual reporters get in there?) was why a tiny reduction following a massive increase in troops in Afghanistan was really sufficient. Panetta was unable to explain. Can you?


FamilyCare has had a long association with Not-for-profit Law, accessing group training and commissioning training on specific topics for our staff. The training and materials are always easy to understand and apply and excellent value. Not-for-profit Law also responds directly to the needs of not-for-profit agencies and their clients – a skill that is not always easy to find.
We would like to acknowledge the wonderful work Justice Connect does to support the wider community sector in providing information to leaders of volunteers regarding their legal obligations and to volunteers providing their time and talents to support their volunteer programs. Bendigo Volunteer Resource Centre has engaged the service of Justice Connect – Not for Profit Law several times to provide a friendly informative workshop which our leaders of volunteers still appreciate and often mention in conversation.
The Industry Partnership of the three NSW homelessness peak organisations commissioned Not for Profit Law Training (NFPLT) to provide training and resources to the homelessness sector in NSW, in preparation for a recontracting process for government funding.
NFPLT provided professional and thorough face-to-face and webinar training sessions and resources, customised to our particular focus. The content presented was informative and accessible. The two presenters for separate training sessions were both knowledgeable about the specific concerns facing the sector in anticipation of recontracting.
NFPLT was flexible about changing some scheduled face to face sessions to webinars at our request. The webinar format provided easy access for organisations across the State. Asking questions through the chat mechanism worked well and all questions asked were competently addressed.
The training provided by Not-for-Profit Law was easy follow and very informative for our clubs. Arranging the training was a stress-free process and was adapted to what suited our needs.
NCOSS have engaged Justice Connect to run training on areas such as governance and working together to build the capabilities of our members across the state. Throughout the process I have been impressed with the professionalism and expertise of Justice Connect staff, their willingness to understand the needs of our diverse membership and their ability to tailor the training accordingly. We have had excellent feedback from our members who have participated in the training offered and we look forward to continuing to partner with Justice Connect to deliver great outcomes.
Benalla Rural City Council engaged the expertise of Not for Profit Law to deliver training aimed at local community groups involved with volunteering. Information about the legal issues and obligations for managing volunteers is not always clear or straight forward. The Not-For Profit Law presenter perfectly blended theory and 'real world' situations to deliver a three-hour workshop that was engaging and substantive.
Detailed workshop notes were helpful aids to learning. Feedback from the forty-five participants was universally positive with all aspects of the training session ranked as either very good or excellent.
Administrative and training staff at Not for Profit Law were supportive, flexible and efficient throughout planning and implementation of training. The workshop provided a valuable broad base of information with most participants, including the Benalla Rural City Council, more confident about the volunteering legal landscape and committed to reviewing their volunteer management processes.
Using funds from a Community Grant from Department of Premier and Cabinet Western Region Ethnic Communities Council engaged Not-for-Profit Law Training to deliver governance training sessions to the leaders of groups from ethnic communities in the Western suburbs. There have been four sessions delivered this year to diverse communities and all have received very favourable feedback from the participants. The material was appropriate to the groups, the presentation accessible and the presenters very well informed and willing to answer all questions posed by the participants. We plan to run more seminars in the coming year for other ethnic community groups.


The story of Eastrop Church is about how one of the smallest churches in the diocese grew to be one of the biggest. The church was enlarged in four stages: in 1835, in 1886, in 1912, and in 1996. It is possible that the change in 1835 was made because of the poor condition of the church. That was certainly the case in 1886. The changes in 1912 and 1996 were made because the existing buildings were too small to accommodate the number of worshippers.


I've been following the CAS-ual Fridays blog for a bit now, but I dont think I've ever played along. This morning when I saw that they were asking for a CAS no bigger than 4x4 I knew I wanted to go ahead and jump in and play.
I always need some smaller gift sized Christmas cards so I went with a card that is 4x4 and used one of my favorite new sets, Beautiful Season. To give a little pop to the image I used Xmas Red Stickles on the berries.
This is so charming Lisa! Love the dotted swiss background and the sweet holy/bird image!
This is just fabulous! Great detail and wonderful coloring!
The red stickles are THEE perfect touch! Great card! Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Fridays!
wow gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!


One of the few pronophiline species not found in the Andes, Eteona tisiphone occurs in submontane southeastern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. Adults are sexually dimorphic: males with cream-colored patches on the dorsal hindwings, and females with orange patches on fore and hindwings (perhaps Batesian mimics of Actinote spp.?). Larvae feed on bamboo (Chusquea and Merostachys. Freitas (2002) noted that these larvae are quite divergent from those of most other pronophilines, with longer horns on the head capsule and a longer bifid "tail."

Ethan Giblett had his first taste of the big stage last weekend when he competed at the EIBA National Indoor Bowls Championships finals.
Giblett, part of a crop of up-and-coming talent at Melton Indoor Bowls Club, reached the last 16 of the Under 25s singles after being crowned area champion.
He defeated four opponents without dropping a set, including clubmate Paul Warrington, on his way to winning the title and qualifying for the nationals, held at City of Ely Bowls Club.
Giblett's challenge fell at the first hurdle on Saturday, defeated by Norfolk club's Tom Segolo by one-and-a-half sets to a half, but he will be hungry for more.

Wayne MacVeagh, for plaintiff in error.
No appearance for defendant in error.
HARLAN, J.
This case is within the principles announced in Kihlberg v. U. S. 97 U. S. 398, and Sweeney v. U. S. 109 U. S. 618, S. C. 3 SUP. CT. REP. 344. Kihlberg sued the United States upon a contract for the transportation of military, Indian, and government stores and supplies from points on the Kansas Pacific Rail way to posts and stations in certain states and territories. The contract provided for payment for transportation 'in all cases according to the distance from the place of departure to that of delivery, the distance to be ascertained and fixed by the chief quarter-master of the district of New Mexico, and in no case to exceed the distance by the usual and customary route.' One of the issues in that case was as to the authority of that officer to fix, conclusively for the parties, the distances which should govern in the settlement of the contractor's accounts for transportation. There was neither allegation nor proof of fraud or bad faith upon the part of that officer in his discharge of the duty imposed upon him by the mutual assent of the parties. This court said: 'In the absence of fraud, or such gross mistake as would necessarily imply bad faith, or a failure to exercise an honest judgment, his action in the premises is conclusive upon the appellant as well as upon the government.' This principle was affirmed and applied in Sweeney's Case, in which he sought to recover from the United States the price of a wall built by him around a national cemetery. The contract provided that the wall should be received, and become the property of the United States, after an officer or civil engineer, to be designated by the government to inspect the work, should certify that it was in all respects such as the contractor agreed to construct. The officer designated for that purpose refused to so certify, on the ground that neither the material nor the workmanship was such as the contract required. As the officer exercised an honest judgment in making his inspections, and as there was on his part neither fraud, nor such gross mistake as implied bad faith, it was adjudged that the contractor had no cause of action on the contract against the United States.
Those decisions control the determination of the claim arising out of the contract here in suit, whereby the defendant in error, who was plaintiff below, covenanted and agreed that he would furnish all the material required,—which should be sound, durable, and of good quality, and approved by the company's chief engineer,—and perform all the labor necessary to construct and finish, in every respect, in the most substantial and workman-like manner, the grading and masonry of a certain section of the Martinsburg & Potomac Railroad.
The contract provides that, to prevent all disputes, the engineer of the company 'shall, in all cases, determine' the quantity of the several kinds of work to be paid for under the contract, and the amount of compensation that the appellee should earn at the rates therein specified; that he 'shall, in all cases,' decide every question which can or may arise relative to the execution of the contract, and 'his estimate shall be final and conclusive;' that in order to enable the contractor to prosecute the work advantageously, the engineer 'shall make an estimate from time to time, not oftener than once per month, as the work progresses, of the work done,' for which the company 'will pay in current money within twenty per cent. of the amount of said estimate on presentation;' that, in calculating the quantity of masonry, walling, and excavation, the most rigid geometrical rules should be applied, any custom to the contrary notwithstanding; and that 'whenever this contract shall be wholly completed on the part of the said contractor, and the said engineer shall have certified the same, they [the company] will pay for said work' the prices in the contract named. These stipulations were emphasized by this additional provision in the agreement: 'And it is further agreed that whenever the contract shall be completely performed on the part of the contractor, and the said engineer shall certify the same in writing under his hand, together with his estimate aforesaid, the said company shall, within thirty days after the receipt of said certificate, pay to the said contractor, in current notes, the sum which according to this contract shall be due.'
The plaintiff, in his declaration, which is in assumpsit, sets out the written contract in full, and counts specially upon its various provisions. The other count is the ordinary one of indebitatus assumpsit. A general demurrer y the company to the whole declaration, and to each count, was overruled. This action of the court below cannot be upheld without disregarding the express conditions of the written agreement; for it does not appear from the declaration that the engineer ever certified in writing the complete performance of the contract by the plaintiff, together with an estimate of the work done, and the amount of compensation due him according to the prices established by the parties. Until after the expiration of 30 days from the receipt of such a certificate, the company did not, by the terms of the agreement, come under a liability to pay the plaintiff the balance, if any, due to him under the contract. Nor does the declaration state any facts entitling him to sue the company, on the contract, in the absence of such a certificate by the engineer, whose determination was made by the parties final or conclusive. And upon the supposition that the engineer made such a certificate as that provided by the contract, there is no allegation that entitled the plaintiff to go behind it; for there is no averment that the engineer had been guilty of fraud, or had made such gross mistake in his estimates as necessarily implied bad faith, or had failed to exercise an honest judgment in discharging the duty imposed upon him. The first count of the declaration was, therefore, defective for the want of proper averments showing plaintiff's right to sue on the contract, and the demurrer to that count should have been sustained.
As, for this reason, the case must be remanded for a new trial, it is proper to say that if the declaration had been good on demurrer, we should have been compelled to reverse the judgment for errors in the instructions given to the jury. Several instructions were asked by the defendant embodying the general proposition that the final estimate of the engineer was to be taken as conclusive, unless it appeared from the evidence that, in respect thereto, he was guilty of fraud or intentional misconduct. These instructions were modified by the court by adding after the words 'fraud or intentional misconduct' the words 'or gross mistake.' This modification was well calculated to mislead the jury, for they were not informed that the mistake must have been so gross, or of such a nature, as necessarily implied bad faith upon the part of the engineer. We are to presume from the terms of the contract that both parties considered the possibility of disputes arising between them in reference to the execution of the contract. And it is to be presumed that in their minds was the possibility that the engineer might err in his determination of such matters. Consequently, to the end that the interests of neither party should be put in peril by disputes as to any of the matters covered by their agreement, or in reference to the quantity of the work to be done under it, or the compensation which the plaintiff might be entitled to demand, it was expressly stipulated that the engineer's determination should be final and conclusive. Neither party reserved the right to revise that determination for mere errors or mistakes upon his part. They chose to risk his estimates, and to rely upon their right, which the law presumes they did not intend to waive, to demand that the engineer should, at all times, and in respect of every matter submitted to his determination, exercise an honest judgment, and commit no such mistakes as, under all the circumstances, would imply bad faith.
There is one other error in the instructions to which it is proper to call attention. The contract provided that for 'bridge masonry' the contractors should receive $7.50 per perch of 25 cubic feet. In reference to certain pier masonry, for which plaintiff charged, in his account, $14 per perch, the court instructed the jury as follows: 'The jury are instructed that in respect to the item of 'pier masonry,' and the charge of $14 per perch therefor by the plaintiff, as shown in his estimate or bill of particulars, that if they find that the defendant's chief engineer ordered such masonry to be made, and saw and inspected or examined the same after its completion, and considered the same in his final estimate, and therein treated the said 'pier masonry' as 'bridge masonry,' to be paid for by the defendant at the price of $7.50 per perch, under the terms of the contract, then such determination and judgment of the engineer is final and binding on the plaintiff, unless the jury find that the price and value of the masonry fixed and returned by the engineer was inadequate and unjust to the contractor, in which event the jury may presume fraud, and disregard the price fixed by the engineer in his final estimate.'
This instruction, to which defendant excepted, was clearly erroneous; for, if the masonry was of the class described in the contract as bridge masonry, or if the parties by subsequent agreement, express or implied, authorized it to be put in that class,—the determination of which questions might be controlled by special circumstances not appearing on the face of the agreement,—then the estimate of the engineer, upon the basis of the contract price, was conclusive, unless impeached on the ground of fraud, or such gross mistake as necessarily implied bad faith. The test was not whether the price and value of the masonry fixed and returned by the engineer was inadequate and unjust. Much less did the jury have the right to presume fraud and disregard the engineer's estimate, merely because the price, upon which the parties originally agreed for bridge masonry, proved to be inadequate and unjust; for that would have enabled them to make for the parties a contract which they did not themselves choose to make.
Without expressing an opinion upon other questions of a subordinate character, discussed in the brief of the defendant's counsel, and which may not arise upon another trial, the judgment is reversed, and the case remanded, with directions to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial, and for such further proceedings as may be consistent with this opinion. Reversed.

superheroes and fish murderers
Sat 14 Nov 2009 14:03
We have discovered that Mario, one of our Italian neighbours here in the
marina is a bit of a musician and plays in an Irish band. Last night he
invited us to a bar in town where they were playing and we had a brilliant
evening bashing out the rhythm on the table, or whatever came to hand. And
to make the perfect evening, there was Guinness on draught, which went
down very well, although it was a bit pricey. We got home about 2am, well
past my bed time.
The other day I sent an Email to an ex-colleague who is still Working for
a Safer London, but it was sent back as 'undeliverable' by someone
glorying in the name of 'Web Marshall', whose purpose is to act as
guardian of all our morals. 'Web Marshall' is the Metropolitan Police's
answer to comic book character 'Clark Kent' and his particular super power
is to have every one of his senses finely tuned to detect the slightest
profanity. Ever vigilant and alert, Webbie had found the word 'cock' in my
Email and had returned it with the stern instruction to 'clean it up'. I
did this in the time-honoured way of changing it to 'c*ck' and our super
hero (vigilant, but not very bright) waved it through.
It made me realise how glad I was to be away from all this nonsense. When
I too was Working for a Safer London, I remember any Email we sent out had
yards of rubbish at the foot of the page about how we believed in equal
opportunities, didn't believe in swearing and only bought free range eggs.
It usually took up more space than the actual message, nobody read it and
it served absolutely no useful purpose.
It got me wondering whether Web Marshall chaired a monthly meeting at New
Scotland Yard of a Rude W*rds Committee, who had the grave duty of
deciding which words were likely to corrupt our morals. Every so often,
the list of obscenities would have to be reviewed and I was thinking of
offering my services as a consultant, in order to serve the community and
augment my meagre pension. What a great job!! Down to the Feathers at
lunchtime for a few sherbets and then up to the committee room to discuss
which words to add to the list. And it would be an ever-changing landscape
of profanities, since the sad little gaggle of suburban matrons and senior
busybodies round the table would have to consider whether, for example,
different spellings would be allowed. What about the word about 'bollox',
or a foreign equivalent of 'bollox'? It's a serious consideration.
If I were the superhero Web Marshall, I would start the meeting with a
free-thinking session in which everybody would have to shout out rude
words. This would be a good way of uncovering infiltrators, since the
infiltrator would be the one at the end of the table reduced to helpless
laughter. This person could be evicted and the serious business of
protecting all our morals could begin. When I worked for the company with
the rotating box, I discovered that our super hero had not penetrated
every bit of the system and many of my computer passwords were
obscenities. This not only helped me to remember them, but it also gave me
a little surge of illicit pleasure every time I logged on. There's nothing
like a surge of illicit pleasure to help you get through your HOLMES
referrals.
Tonight we are going into town to see Mario do his stuff at a different
venue and I am looking forward to it immensely. We are also going up to
the Teatrolirico to get tickets for a piano recital that will include some
Chopin pieces that I've never heard played live and next weekend there is
the three day jazz festival only 10 minutes' walk away so there's plenty
here for music lovers.
The fish murderer I described in my last is still a regular visitor to the
marina, creeping about mysteriously with his spiked broomstick. However,
it seems that he has a rival, because someone saw a dolphin cruising about
in the marina the other morning, looking for his breakfast! It must be a
hellish life to be a fish, waiting to be speared or eaten alive and ever
fearful of taking a bite at a passing morsel.
That's all folks. Going home four weeks on Tuesday and looking forward to
a good old English Ruby Murray...marvellous!

FACTA requires the destruction of all consumer information before it is discarded. By following the NAID requirements Condor Document Services ensures that your information is handled in compliance with FACTA.
Using Condor Document Services not only complies with the FACTA law but is the preferred method of disposing of health information which falls under the HIPAA and HITECH laws.
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act is a new federal law designed to reduce the risk of consumer fraud and identity theft created by improper disposal of consumer information. FACTA applies to virtually every person and business in the United States.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a Federal Law to prevent abuses of personal health information (PHI), including unauthorized access. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and it is enforced by the U.S. Office of Civil Right. To learn more about Health Information Privacy click link below.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinic Health has been effective since February 2011 and included several changes to HIPAA including mandatory fines, data breach notification rules, investigations, a new Business Associates Agreement and destruction policies.

What is Texas Shred Law 698?
Texas Shred Law 698, The Texas Information Disposal Act, House Bill 698 (HB 698), amends the Texas Business and Commerce Code. Document retention and disposal requirements that require businesses to shred, erase or destroy by other means prior to disposal all business records with "personal identifying information." The act applies to information whether it is from consumers or employees and covers all records created before, on or after the effect date of the act. This act specifically covers destruction, requiring that any and all information that could be used to commit the crime of identity theft be securely destroyed. This includes destruction of Social Security numbers, government issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, birth dates, email addresses and other information.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act places significant restrictions on the use of customer information by those in the financial industry. These restrictions recognize that non-public personal, financial and health information must be safeguarded and include proper disposal procedures.

Libraries 2014 - Press Release
Contact: Allyson Boucher, 609-364-0370
NEW REPORT RESPONDS TO URGENT NEED FOR U.S. PUBLIC LIBRARY TRANSFORMATION
Aspen Institute's "Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries" Explores How a Trusted American Institution Can Drive Innovation and
Expand Educational Opportunities
Washington, D.C. – A new report released today from the Aspen Institute looks at how – in an age of instant and abundant information – U.S. public libraries can drive community advancements unlike any other public institution.
"Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries" explores how public libraries can respond as the digital age increases the demand for high-speed information access, changes in our education systems, innovative job training models and additional community services to help people and communities compete in the new economy. The report is part of the Aspen Institute Dialogue on Public Libraries, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The multiyear dialogue brings library professionals, policymakers, technology experts, philanthropists, educators and civic leaders together to explore the future of public libraries.
"As society tries to keep pace with the innovation happening around us, libraries have become a place for more than just circulating books," said Walter Isaacson, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute. "Libraries need to be a place where people can come together, collaborate and be coached in digital learning. Public libraries becoming platforms for learning, creativity and innovation opens up a whole new avenue for libraries, and helps communities close economic gaps and bridge social divides."
The "Rising to the Challenge" report recommends communities leverage three important library assets: connecting people and fostering relationships to strengthen the human capital of a community; using the both the physical and virtual spaces of libraries in new and innovative ways; and tapping into high-speed interactive platforms to curate and share ideas and knowledge.
It discusses the need for libraries to align their services more directly with the priorities of community leaders at a time when emerging technologies create a demand for digital literacy, new learning opportunities, job skills and more opportunities for people to communicate face to face. The report suggests libraries and local governments work more closely to create long-term financial sustainability, while also exploring other innovative business and revenue models.
"Public libraries have the potential to establish personal connections that help define community needs and can serve as an anchor for economic development and neighborhood revitalization," said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean, a member of the Dialogue's working group. "The digital age is an opportunity for public libraries to take advantage of their unique ability to draw people together around knowledge, creativity and culture for the benefit of individuals, families and the community."
The report recognizes that most of the nation's nearly 9,000 public library systems and their 17,000 branches are successfully keeping up with the times. Many provide free computer and high-speed Internet use, access to publishing software or high-tech machines such as 3-D printers, résumé-writing help and support for job seekers, and tutoring services for students and immigrants. Others provide community rooms, host book clubs and offer reading programs for preschoolers.
"Public libraries have earned their communities' trust and are in a unique position to be the catalyst–-connecting people and ideas to help communities reach their potential," said Pam Sandlian-Smith, Director of Anythink Libraries in Colorado, board member of the Public Library Association, and a member of the Dialogue's working group. "With the right vision, leadership and resources, libraries can reimagine and redesign library spaces, products and services that meet vital community needs."
The report highlights a number of examples of groundbreaking work and new ways public libraries are meeting the needs of their communities. It also includes 15 action steps that the Dialogue recommends for each of its stakeholder groups: library leaders, policymakers and the community. Among these recommendations are the following five for each group:
Library Leaders
Define the scope of the library's programs, services and offerings around community priorities, recognizing that this process may lead to choices and trade-offs.
Collaborate with government agencies at the local, state and federal levels around shared objectives. This includes partnerships with schools to drive learning and educational opportunities throughout the community.
Partner with local businesses, chambers of commerce and community colleges to provide access to curricula and resources, technology and certification programs, and to job search resources to maintain a highly skilled yet highly flexible workforce.
Engage the community in planning and decision making, and seek a seat at tables where important policy issues are discussed and decisions are made.
Connect resources from other agencies or libraries to the library platform rather than reinventing the wheel or always going solo.
Use the authority of office to bring together community stakeholders to create a comprehensive strategic plan for the library and other knowledge institutions in the community.
Define libraries as part of the community's priority infrastructure along with other established infrastructure priorities such as schools, transportation and parks, and make sustainable long-term funding that reflects the library's value to the community a budget priority.
Develop strategic alliances and partnerships with local library leaders to advance educational, economic and social goals.
Leverage the economic development potential of the public library as a community platform.
Make access to government information a model for curating open data.
Collaborate on the development of a comprehensive strategic plan for the community's information and knowledge ecosystem, including the library and other knowledge institutions in the community.
Develop strategic partnerships and alliances with public libraries around content or specific organizational or community needs.
Bring diverse expertise to bear on helping libraries create and share technology tools.
Connect knowledge resources in the community to the library's knowledge networks.
Participate in the library's platform for curating local history and culture.
The Aspen Institute Dialogue on Public Libraries is a multi-stakeholder forum to explore and champion new thinking on U.S. public libraries, with the goal of fostering concrete actions to support and transform public libraries for a more diverse, mobile and connected society. The Dialogue is managed by the Aspen Institute Communications and Society Program, which focuses on projects and initiatives that address the societal impact of communications and information technologies and provides a multidisciplinary venue for considered judgment on communications policy issues.
The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization. Its mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues. The Institute is based in Washington, D.C.; Aspen, Colorado; and on the Wye River on Maryland's Eastern Shore. It also has an office in New York City and an international network of partners.

In this dissertation, I read Judith Thompsons The Crackwalker, I am Yours, Habitat, and Lion in the Streets with an eye towards how Thompson produces socially contingent spaces as sites of marginalized identity. My focus is on Thompsons work as a playwright rather than on the texts in performance. My interest is in the ways Thompson mediates a characterization of class-based marginality through the experience of space as a social product. In interrogating Thompsons use of space, I refer to the theories of philosopher Henri Lefebvre, specifically to the notion of space as a social product and his conception of the double illusion.
Stories told of and by teacher-researchers hold the potential to inform members of both academic and school communities with concerns about teaching and learning. The author's self-study and an embedded case study constitute this thesis. The latter is an instrumental, single-case (Stake, 1998), seeking to offer insight into teacher learning. It is framed by theories of cognition (Sternberg, 1998), adult learning (Mezirow, 1991), narrative (Gudmundsdottir, 1995), teacher-research (Connelly & Clandinin, 1999), and self-study (Hamilton, 1998). This thesis presents my experience as a teacher-researcher engaging in self-study, asking: "What do I care about in education?" (Whitehead, 1993). In conducting my inquiry, I have become interested in knowing the following: (1) What have I learned? (2) How do I represent my learning? (3) How shall I take my learning forward? Learning is understood to mean "the process of using a prior interpretation to construe a new or revised interpretation of the meaning of one's experience in order to guide future action" (Mezirow, 1998, p. 6), and is seen in terms of improvement to professional practice. In examining the self-study report of my colleague, Nancy, the question "How is learning evidenced in the narrative report of the teacher-researcher engaging in self-study?" is addressed. A claim is made that, as teachers engage with questions about what they care about in education, they are learning. Data for my self-study include narrative accounts, artifacts, and images. Data for the embedded case include a co-constructed narrative account, photographs, a tape-recorded conversation, and interview and concept map collected between January 2000 and July 2003. Narrative data in the embedded case study were subjected to inductive and deductive analyses. Confirmatory evidence was sought in the conversation and interview, which were analyzed similarly, and the concept map, which was interrogated deductively. It may be seen that the stories of teacher-researchers inquiring into practice offer evidence of transformative learning (Mezirow, 1991), which may initiate and constitute living educational theory (Whitehead, 1993), and provide insights to those with interests in teacher education.

Judith Art, Renaissance Art, Medieval.
Once holding an esteemed literary reputation as author of The Gleaner (1798), an eclectic collection of prose and poetry serialized and sold by advance subscription, Judith Sargent Murray (1751-1820) was virtually forgotten for nearly two centuries. The 1986 discovery of manuscripts believed to have been lost prompted critics to evaluate anew Sargent Murray's literary accomplishments. Previously unpublished poems and letters mark the prolific author as an important figure in early America's self-conscious attempt to establish a national literature. This dissertation makes available Volume One of Sargent Murray's poetry manuscript journals: two hundred and twenty previously unpublished poems and two that were published in The Massachusetts Magazine. The poems in Volume One serve as a representative sampling of the poet's oeuvre, and the critical introduction and annotations of the first volume provide evidence of her stature as an important figure in early American political activism. She stands out as an early feminist, as a keen observer of social and historical issues (most notably the contest with Great Britain), and as a staunch proponent of the Universalist Church in America.
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att visa hur olika uppfattningar om jämställdhet hos några kommunalt anställda öppnar upp möjligheter till tre olika former av jämställdhetsintegrering som Judith Squires har identifierat. Genom intervjuer besvaras frågan om vilka idéer som finns representerade hos de kommunanställda. Intervjuerna har analyserats med hjälp av innehållsanalys där koder har hämtats från Squires teori om hur argument för jämställdhet också öppnar upp för en viss typ av jämställdhetsintegrering. Syftet är även att undersöka om det uttrycks argument för jämställdhet som öppnar upp för en så kallad transformativ jämställdhetsintegrering, vilket är den enda formen som, enligt Squires, möjliggör en djupare förändring av samhället. Något som den svenska jämställdhetspolitiken faktiskt har som mål. Resultatet visar att det förvisso finns personer som talar om jämställdhet utifrån ett sätt som skulle kunna generera en transformerande jämställdhetsintegrering, men även att den allmänt vedertagna bilden i kommunen snarare inte verkar tala för detta.

what women of a certain age look like, women
This British dame is the only person to win an Oscar for both acting (for her housekeeper role in 1993's The Remains of the Day) and for a screenplay (for her 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility). She's a shapeshifter, for sure, also playing the kooky Sybil Trelawney in the Harry Potter franchise and the cheated-on wife and prime minister's sister in Love, Actually. She has always struck me as so honest and real—ever more so at 60 (like me).

Do your colleagues sit in their chairs like this?
I don't object to wearing leopard-print to work, although I wonder about the word "should." Should I? Only if I want to to!
The problem is the way this would be person-working-in-an-office is sitting, legs splayed, pubic situation tilted skyward, dreamy gaze into the middle distance. Not a good office look for women or men. Cut that out, J. Crew.

A question of identity, beauty everywhere, transgender, women
It's not that complicated. But brands don't get that women want to see themselves reflected—their bodies, their ages, their ethnicities, their preferences—in branded messaging. Recently, a Victoria Secret executive dismissed the thought of casting plus size and transgender models in Victoria's Secret shows.
"Why don't you do 50?" L Brands CEO Ed Razek retorted, referring to garment sizing. "Why don't you do 60? Why don't you do 24? It's like, why doesn't your show do this? Shouldn't you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don't think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy. It's a 42-minute entertainment special. That's what it is."
It's Ed Razek's fantasy, and indeed fatal flaw, that women want to watch an "entertainment special" featuring pantily-clad women at all. Per the NY Times, the company's stock is down 41 percent this year and in response to questions asked in recent consumer study, 60 percent said they think the brand feels "forced" or "fake."
I'm recalling a 2013 flameout when an executive at Lulu Lemon told the press that plus sizing was not part of its "formula." Posted on its Facebook page: "Our product and design strategy is built around creating products for our target guest in our size range of 2-12. While we know that doesn't work for everyone and recognize fitness and health come in all shapes and sizes, we've built our business, brand and relationship with our guests on this formula."
Meanwhile, ThirdLove, started by women offers 74 sizes and "nude" tones across the spectrum of human skin colors. That's what women want.

I Feel Bad About My Neck
This is the title of a book of Nora Ephron essays, which, when I got it as a Christmas present, I found dated and schtick-y (I also thought, at the time, I'm too young for this). But now it happens to be true, though I feel like a bad feminist for admitting it. Maybe I should reframe the emotion as 'I feel good about turtlenecks.'

Look at Her
Look at Him
Rudy Giuliani has said and done some odious things since he was declared "America's Mayor" after 9-11. Getting in bed with Trump was one of them but making matters worse, he took it upon himself to explain why, in his opinion, Trump would have never had an affair with someone like Stormy Daniels.
"I'm mean look at her," he said in a televised interview, disparaging Daniels as not attractive enough, not educated enough and not classy enough for the likes of Trump. His facial expressions—a wince, an eyeroll and the kind of Borscht-Belty mugging Trump himself deploys—dismissed even the "remotest possibility" of a Daniels/Trump affair. And then he felt the need to add that he couldn't respect a woman who sold her body for money. "I mean, come on."
"You misogynistic fool. Are you kidding me? Just look at Stormy Daniels? Just look at yourself," Mika Brzezinski responded, frostily, after playing a clip from Guiliani's speech. "Let me tell you something. Stormy Daniels could indeed bring down this president, so I hope you all just look at her."
Co-host Joe, wisely, refrained from interrupting her, or saying anything at all, as Mika continued, which was a nice piece of theater unto itself.
So many baffling things about Guiliani's words but some of them include: Trump already admitted to the affair, you fool, and Marla Maples is nobody's idea of classy and, by the way, FLOTUS, at one time, also "sold her body for money" (see photos below).

Take your own dang meeting notes, co-worker dude
So goes the subtitle of a GirlBoss article helpfully pointing out all the helpful ways in which women help others at work—at their peril. I've written about being a young woman with a bad boss (The Boss of Me), a beleaguered commuter (Girl in the Gray Flannel Suit) and a woman trying to decode Broffice Brocabulary.
But this article made me laugh, wincingly, especially this part about being saddled with "girl" tasks:
If women had a dime every time they were asked by a man to take notes in a meeting, for no other reason than the fact that they're women, we'd be making at least 84 cents to their dollar.
Yesterday, a colleague I like quite a bit started mansplaining an editorial calendar to me—me being the editor, he being the marketing dude. He looked a bit hurt when I called him out for mansplaining so I apologized…a lot. He's new to the organization, hasn't worked a lot with editorial teams, was really just explaining his understanding of the edit calendar, not schooling me about it. But I was in a mood, I guess. I apologized again today. And now I should just stop apologizing.

The laudable Time's Up movement is calling for women to wear black on the Golden Globe's red carpet tonight, which should make for a meaningful statement. (Most interesting will be the women who do NOT comply.) Now we read that men, too, are pledging to wear black which is somewhat less meaningful, to my eye. What other color would they wear? Isn't that a bit like me giving up cigarettes for Lent (I don't smoke)—the emptiest of gestures? Evangelist Rose McGowan is also criticizing women, especially Meryl Streep in a now-deleted tweet, per Vanity Fair, for what she slams as a "silent protest."
"Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest," McGowan wrote in a now-deleted tweet. "YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You'll accept a fake award breathlessly and affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa."
