This was an all-day event held at Toronto's Royal York Hotel. REAL women sprang up from a small group of women who were very concerned about the breakdown of the family. It is a [...]

ADVERTISEMENT: Where is Canada Heading?: The TFP Raises a Public and Christian Protest Against Preferential Legislation in Favor of Homosexuality
In December 1986, the Provincial Parliament of Ontario approved the controversial Bill 7 that amended seventy Ontario laws to conform with the Federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms. One particular amendment to the Ontario Human Rights Code made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of "sexual orientation," providing homosexuals with full protection for employment, housing and access to services. The Province [...]

The major opponent to government funding for REAL Women is the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, which claims to represent three million women in various organizations ranging from the Communist Women of Canada to the PC Women's Caucus. (This news comes as a shock to most PC women). The NAC magazine, Feminist Action, reported that at their last Annual [...]

Ex bunny exposes porn pushers
"I thought I had the flu last week, but I was pregnant so I had an abortion," said a very beautiful Playboy Bunny in an off-hand way. "Oh," said an equally ravishingly-looking Bunny, "did it bother you to have an abortion?" "Well," sighed the first Bunny, "the fist time it did, but this is my third or fourth abortion and there is [...]

Let's say you're a mother at home tending the housework, or perhaps watching some TV. Your daughter Erika is at school. So is your other daughter, Erin. At least you think she is. The phone rings. Someone at your daughters' school tells you Erin is in a nearby hospital for emergency surgery, and that you should go to the hospital. "Was she [...]

18 Jobs Being Replaced by Robots
By Evan Comen and Samuel Stebbins	August 25, 2016 6:55 am EDT
15. Printing press operators
> Projected loss 2014-2024: -12.5%
> 2014 jobs: 173,000
> Median annual wage: $35,240
About 125 daily U.S. newspapers have gone out of circulation in the past decade, and more are expected to close. As the newspaper industry continues its shift from print to digital distribution, fewer and fewer printing press operators will be needed. Employment in the field is expected to decline by 12.5% by 2024.
14. Print binding and finishing workers
> 2014 jobs: 51,200
Much like the changes in the newspaper industry, which is moving to digital distribution, changes in the way people consume written material will decrease the demand for those responsible for examining and finishing binded books and magazines for quality control. As a result, the number of Americans employed as print binding and finishing workers is projected to decline by 13.7% between 2014 and 2024. Not only newspapers, but also magazines, and books are being increasingly moved to digital formats such as computers, tablets, and smartphones.

13. Correspondence clerks
> 2014 jobs: 8,400
Due to advances in technology and computer software, correspondence clerks are quickly becoming a job of a bygone era. The responsibilities of a correspondence clerk typically include composing letters on behalf of a business or organization to notify relevant parties of such issues as damage claims, delinquent accounts, invoices, service claims, to name a few. With advancing computer software often automating such routine correspondences, the number of people employed as correspondence clerks is expected to decrease by 14.7% between 2014 and 2024.

Kia Motors (UK) Limited has just delivered its 1 millionth UK vehicle to a Dunfermline customer, a remarkable achievement for a brand that was only launched in 1991.
Kia has always been renowned for sensible, budget-focused vehicles but in recent years the brand has become synonymous with outstanding design and unmatchable quality, all backed up by the reassurance of their industry-leading 7-year warranty.
Kia's biggest selling car is the Sportage with 241,912 units sold since 1995, Picanto comes second with 191,926 and Cee'd third with 138,253 since its launch in 2007.

As a kid, I played the role of Hermes between my friends and the boys, carrying notes such as "Do you like me?" and "Check YES or NO if you want to date." By the time I hit middle and high school, I was convinced that if anyone ever asked me out, it would be as a joke or for a dare.
Now that I'm older and still single (though no longer carrying notes across playgrounds), I can say that I've been an observer of relationships for almost my entire life. I've seen them rise, fall, rise up again, crash and burn, and bloom like roses out of the ashes. I've even had a couple of my own, so I'm no stranger to the ups and downs of dating. But out of all the relationships I've seen, one thing stands out as one of the driving factors of success: decision.
Being decisive sometimes seems genetic. I'm convinced there is a gene out there that makes some into Deciders and some into Non-Deciders. The couples who are Deciders have the most successful relationships, while those who don't decide tend to lose track of themselves and who they are as a couple.
All of that sounds obvious, right? Of course people who can make decisions will be more successful and happy. It means they will choose things to be that way. The problem is, it's not nearly that simple. Many couples, especially those who have been together for years, find themselves not actually making decisions, but sliding into decisions.
Think of the number of couples around the world who live together but are not married. Without arguing the rightness or wrongness of their living situation, what happens when you look at why they live together? Hundreds of couples now move in together without realizing that it's happening. One night someone spends the night, and the next day half of the stuff in the house belongs to the other person. To many people the move seems natural and seamless. Yet these couples missed a crucial part of the relationship – actually deciding to live together.
It may seem like a small thing, but the couples that make the most deliberate decisions to spend time together are the ones who make it a lifetime. It's one thing to hang out because you both happen to be home at the same time; it's a different thing altogether to set a date and get dedicated one-on-one time.
Back when courtship was practically the only way couples found their way to marriage, everyone knew exactly in what order things would happen. Courting was always followed by a wedding and children. There was no question of a person's role – the men did the proposing, the women did the accepting. Today's freedom to explore different variations of the courtship game can be liberating on one hand but confining on the other (Smith 2014). Without that structure to follow, many people find themselves feeling out of place.
Formality might seem like it bogs things down and adds a level of snobbishness most would like to avoid, but there's a lot to be said for knowing what part you play in the grand scheme of things. I often wish dating now could be as formal as it used to be – at least then I would always know exactly where I stood with any person I was dating.
One of the biggest arguments against living together without being married is the destruction rate of those relationships. For as long as I've been old enough to notice that boys are cute, I've heard that living together before marriage was one of the best ways to ensure your relationship didn't last. Since I'd heard that primarily from Christian circles, I was often skeptical. Surely a look at good statistics wouldn't show that much of a difference! But once I started looking farther into things, it became apparent that even in the secular world, living together before marriage can be the kiss of death to your couplehood.
I personally think that living together without being married is not the wisest decision, but I think that's part of the issue. Many young Christian couples see their secular counterparts moving in together, and to them it's no big deal. It's just what everyone else is doing, so they let it happen. Of course, going with the flow doesn't work well for lemmings, and it doesn't always work well for humans, either. Not that going with the flow will lead to jumping off a cliff. But if you do want your relationship to have a better chance of making it through the tough times, it's time to make decisions based on what's best, not just on what everyone else is doing.
Have you seen the memes about couples doing things together and therefore staying together? One of my favorites is a CrossFit meme. Both of them are doing what looks like pretty intense squats, and the text reads "Couples that CrossFit together...Stay together!" While I'm not a CrossFit junkie, I can appreciate the thought. It's a fact – couples that do things together, whether it's working out, making dinner, or making decisions, stay together. Even better, decide to base your relationship on a firmer foundation than your own decisions. When God's at the center, nothing can bring you down.
The easiest way to get frustrated with life is to get off of God's path. I know that might sound cheesy, but it's true. I know that for me, sticking with God's plan means less stress and more time to be joyful. It's easy to look at other couples and feel like how they do things is the normal way, but your steps aren't always your own (Prov. 16:9). Besides, wouldn't you want the one who made you with such care to help you figure out how to navigate this crazy thing called love in your own unique way?
Purity isn't exactly something held in high esteem in today's world. In fact, it often feels looked down upon. Few people treat their bodies with the respect God requests, but purity goes even further than that. You can be physically pure, but you can also be pure in your mind. This is crucial, especially if you're considering a serious relationship. Decide to live out life with purity and honor, and you're bound to see your relationship blossom in its right time.

As developments like Amazon's HQ2 search and the opening of Tesla's Gigafactory 1 demonstrate, the American Heartland is grabbing the new economy by the horns. Government officials, business leaders, and startup luminaries descended on Reno, Nevada to discuss how we take the next step up.
Urban centers along American coastlines may have helped usher the new, digital economy into maturity, but they won't be the only ones pushing the next wave of tech innovation — not if the participants of last week's VentureBeat BLUEPRINT 2018 Conference have anything to say about it.
Not exactly a news flash, but with their rising costs of living, overcrowding, economic barriers to entry, the New Yorks and San Franciscos of the country are increasingly impractical options for companies looking to scale (not to mention employees hoping to live comfortably).
In search of not only alternatives, but entirely new opportunities as well, everyone from Silicon Valley executives and venture capitalists to local startup founders and political leaders are targeting regional hubs across the American Heartland to drive the next great wave of innovation (and help relocate their businesses).
So how do we do it? These tech moguls, VC notables, and startup hopefuls gathered in Reno, Nevada, for three days to figure it out.
Dedicated to promoting the success stories of companies that have settled down in cities just like Reno (and brought capital and jobs with them), the conference was an incredible forum in which corporate leaders and young businesses could get a sense of what 21st century prosperity between the coasts might look like. That is, if the Renos, Nashvilles, and yes, St. Louises of the country can continue to cultivate a spirit of entrepreneurship and develop the regional partnerships to support it.
EQ's own Luke Babich interviewed Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to discuss how the state has facilitated the growth of its booming startup scene.
From 14 percent unemployment in the wake of the financial crisis to near-full employment today, Sandoval and the entire state have played to their strengths in order to attract innovative companies — as well as the top talent that wants to work for them.
Whether that's capitalizing on federally owned land in order to host cutting-edge UAV testing or fast-tracking communication between state officials and the local business community, Nevada has provided a framework for other states looking for their own regional Silicon Valley.
Small-town mayors doing big things — what does it take to build a "culture of yes" in city government?
In this fireside chat, Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve and Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson discussed what it takes for modest regional hubs to succeed in the new economy. From less red tape to minimal overhead, both mayors said that small- and medium-sized cities can craft budget-friendly business havens in order to attract innovative companies.
But it's not just about costs. Schieve and Freeman-Wilson stressed the importance of a sense of place and community spirit in creating cities that are welcoming for the talent that follows today's most promising companies.
Microsoft's TechSpark was born in 2017 out of a commitment to boosting economic opportunities and supporting job creation in rural and regional metropolitan areas. One year later, Kate Behncken, the leader of the initiative, laid out the five pillars she sees as essential to creating a thriving innovation ecosystem outside of megalopolises.
Understory left Wisconsin in 2013 because the local VC culture wasn't ready to support their vision for aggregating unique weather data and analytics. So they headed for the coasts.
Although they attracted the venture funding they needed to drive their own growth, CEO Alex Kubicek noticed that Madison's startup scene had flourished since their departure. As cost-of-living increases took its toll on Understory and its talent, the company made the decision to return to Madison.
Now, the company pays 500 percent less for their office space than they did in Boston, attracts incredible talent from the local university, and enjoys proximity to some of the country's top insurance companies — a definite bonus for a company that adds context to weather-related damage claims.
As Director David Walker of the Nevada Museum of Art explained, Nevada's present is uniquely tied to its past. Once a mecca for silver miners, then a testing site for nuclear weapons, and next a playground for the world, the state has been permanently shaped by its boom-bust cycles.
As Nevada distinguishes itself as a home for business on an international scale, Walker described how artists who synthesize the history, patterns, and experiences of a region can help that area appeal to companies looking to relocate from the coasts.
"We believe that complacency will kill.
Even as a 55-year-old conglomerate, Walmart has continued to adapt within the confines of a viciously competitive industry. As VP of Digital Solutions Chris Enslin explains, that sort of entrepreneurial spirit must be in a company's blood if it wants to thrive.
Outside Walmart's internal culture, however, Enslin celebrated the innovative strides taken by companies and institutions in metropolitan areas like Dallas, citing them as valued partners in the company's long-term success. He singled out Walmart's work with UT Dallas, where the retail giant works with Ph.D. students in order to pioneer and test advanced technology for implementation in their stores.
Heartland Tech Editor @ahensel interviews @chrisheivly of @techstars and Mark Muro of @BrookingsInst to find out!
In this panel discussion with Venturebeat's Heartland Tech editor Anna Hensel and Chris Heivly of Techstars, Mark Muro explained the two models of tech innovation he sees in use across the country today.
On the one hand, tech heavyweights such as Google and Apple dominate a coastal-oriented, top-down system in which they deliver tech solutions from highly skilled, elite-educated teams.
On the other, which Muro calls "midtech," regional hubs empower a bottom-up process through which locally sourced tech is invented and maintained by community talent, some without the need of a bachelor's degree. While Muro explained that the models and their practitioners must coexist with each other, he celebrated the rise of midtech as an engine for growth in the Heartland.

The Foundation course covers how VAT works across the EU, using the UK as a particular example. It also considers regional differences and the basic responsibilities such as registration and submission of returns.
Worked examples are used to demonstrate the inputs and outputs of VAT. The different VAT liabilities are introduced, with particular emphasis on exemptions and the effect on recovery of input tax. The basic principles of partial exemption are also introduced at a high level.
Place of supply and time of supply (tax points) are introduced. International aspects are discussed, as they apply to insurance business.

Fugitives, Exiles and Renegades on the Moravian and Bavarian Borderlands in the 9th Century
Úteky, vyhnanci a renegáti na moravsko-bavorskom pohraničí v 9. storočí
Harvát, Matej
The early medieval juridical norms commonly outlawed and, consequently, banished people convicted of serious crimes like murder, adultery or woman kidnapping. In the case of the ruling authority, monarchs punished the acts of treason and infidelity mainly with exile. Sources referring to the Moravian principality in the 9th century often mention exiles and fugitives from the higher social strata. The article provides a specification of these persons and a partial analysis of the political circumstances motivating the banishments and requests for asylum in the Moravian principality. Besides the remarkable case of Pribina, who was sent to exile by the Moravian prince Mojmír, almost every known exile and outcast
came to the realm of the Moravians from the Carolingian Eastern March (Marcha orientalis). Therefore, the paper addresses the politics of exile on the Slavic and Bavaria borderlands near the Middle Danube and attempts to clarify the occurrence of Wilhelminer and, partly, of the Mojmirid outcasts.

The U.S. unemployment rate is 5.3% - the lowest in seven years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, U.S. labor-force participation has dropped to a 30-year low of 61.6%, and a global workforce shortage of 95 million people is projected by 2020. This translates to a massive shortage of talent, making recruitment of an increasingly diverse skilled workforce an urgent priority.

Consumer Empathy is not new, but is certainly a hot topic in the marketing and insights community. Understanding your consumers' attitudes and needs, desires, fears and limitations, and how they view and feel about your brand is the essential first step towards creating a powerful brand-product-consumer connection. But to make that connection a meaningful and lasting one, "understanding" alone is insufficient: marketers have to walk a mile in the consumers' shoes! For over 20 years, LatinoEyes® has been helping companies connect with Hispanic and Multicultural consumers to build empathy between them and their brands; in fact, just about every research project we work on revolves around consumer empathy. Through our Cultural Immersion programs, we combine well-established traditional and non-traditional research approaches with in-the-trenches activities and cultural education workshops to give marketers real world experiences. Ethnographies, Arts & Culture Tours, Neighborhood Walk-and-Talks, Marketplace Visits, Consumer Roundtables and In-depth interviews with Community Leaders are some of the ingredients that LatinoEyes® leverages to create a customized Cultural Immersion for our clients. Whether you have years of experience or are just getting started on your journey towards developing empathy for the Hispanic consumer segment, we invite you to read through our "Latinos At A Glance" booklet to strengthen your knowledge and intuitive connection with the Latino consumer. And, to learn more about our Cultural Immersion programs or our multicultural research, contact Jorge Martinez, Research Director at jorgem@crresearch.com or 312-828-9200.

Low cost carrier Volaris, serving more destinations in Mexico than any other airline, inaugurates service from JFK on July 15th as it continues to serve its core audience, the Hispanic Market. Miguel Aguiñiga Rodríguez, Senior Manager Mex-US/Sales & Marketing for Volaris, in an interview with Multicultural Travel News, said that the "visiting family and relatives" market (VFR) is their key market. For that reason, since the airline was launched 9 years ago, he noted, they have been doing research to identify the largest Mexican-American population areas to establish routes to serve the VFR market. Guadalajara is a principal destination because of the opportunity it presents to this market as drive time from Guadalajara is only 2 to 6 hours to most key cities such as Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and Morelia, among others, destinations that are key for the Mexican ex-patriots living in the US. The airline also targets second and third generation Mexican-Americans to encourage them to visit and learn about their culture and food.The Volaris outreach to the Hispanic population is aligned with the Mexican Tourism board's campaign with the theme "Mis Raices" targeting the Hispanic Market which will launch this August. The current "Live it to Believe it" campaign highlights the culture and food of Mexico and promotes a "Wine & Tequila Route" and "Mole Route." The "Thousand Flavors of Mole" route encourages travelers to visit the regions of Mexico City, Tlaxcala, Oaxaca and Puebla where the famous "mole poblano" originates. The tequila route includes the city of Guadalajara, the capital of Mariachi music, itself declared as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Volaris marketing outreach includes alliances with the various regional Mexican Federations around the US, as a key way to reach their main target -- Mexicans in the US with ties to family in Mexico. Knowing that Hispanics overindex in social media usage, Volaris is also focused on utilizing Facebook where they currently have over 1,300,00 likes and Twitter with over a million followers. And in other milestone news, earlier this month Volaris announced it transported its 50 Millionth customer.
The month of June is dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the contributions of the LGBT community. With an overall buying power of $830 billion, marketers are eager to take advantage of the various opportunities to connect. However, some marketers have failed to realize that just like with all multicultural communities, one size does not fit all. The LGBT community is just as diverse and those who belong to various ethnic communities, seniors and baby boomers, as well as LGBTs with disabilities, want to be represented in advertising. Countless studies have confirmed that the LGBT community is very brand loyal and look favorably upon companies who have strong inclusion and pro-LGBT policies and practices. These values are also in line with ethnic communities who are also brand loyal and will happily spend money with companies who they think 'get them'. Therefore, brands must move beyond the cookie cutter approach and acknowledge all who represent diversity. E-Tech predicts ethnicity, religion, language preference, and gender based on extensive name and geographic research. Contact Ethnic Technologies to better know your customers and better provide for their needs.

We eagerly awaited the announcement of Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge. We placed bets and voted in polls. As a society, we find meaning in names. While not every parent undergoes the global scrutiny that befell the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, every parent consciously chooses a name. Some prefer a name from a long-standing family tradition; others prefer the name of a favorite singer. Effective marketers know their customers, and one window in, is through our names.

From the builders of some of America's earliest railroads and farms to Civil Rights pioneers and digital technology entrepreneurs, Indian Americans have long been an inextricable part of American life. The Smithsonian traveling exhibition "Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation" details the history of Indian Americans and their contributions to the United States from the 1700s to the present. The first-of-its-kind exhibition from the Smithsonian is now on view at the Morris Museum through July 12, 2015. The Morristown presentation of "Beyond Bollywood" will be complimented by an installation featuring twentieth century paintings by Indian American artists, a display showcasing Indian textiles and costumes, and a variety of programs and events. In conjunction with "Beyond Bollywood," the Morris Museum programs include: Beyond Bollywood Family Festival, Indian Magic Art Show and Mandala Making, May 14, 2:00-3:30pm. Creating mandalas, a meditative process that has been practiced by Buddhist monks for centuries using colored glass sand, has become a mainstay in the Western world thanks to psychiatrist/ psychologist Carl J. Jung. The mandala can be used today as a method of reducing stress, decreasing anxiety, and an opportunity for self-reflection, as the inner circle represents each individual's personal universe.

Monique Nelson, Chair and CEO of UniWorld Group, Inc., the longest-standing, full-service, multicultural marketing agency in the US., is a passionate advocate for her brand and its mission to meet the needs of clients and consumers across the country. Here is some advice from her on how women can gain more access to the C-suite. I think women get a little scared about "leaning in," so to speak. "Lean in" in a way that works for you - it's about being authentically you and knowing where you're going to be successful. Say what you mean, go in with a professional understanding of what you're looking for, be thoughtful about how you present yourself and your ideas, and then just go for it. Her advice for tomorrow's leaders. Have a vision. Writing down what you want makes things a lot clearer. I know that once I write my goals down, they become very real, and I become much more accountable to them. Always look for the win-win. Win-loss rarely lasts long, and I treat everything like it's a marathon, not a sprint. Contact Teresa Lyles Holmes, Teresa.Holmes@uwgny.com.

I just got the Buffalo Springfield box set and love the outtakes.
Just wondering what others think of this collection. While discs 1 - 3 are superb, I believe disc 4 is somewhat redundant, as it's the 1st 2 albums in their entirety -- many of these songs are thus included twice. Including more outtakes (and certainly the 9 minute Bluebird) would've been much more appealing. Some live cuts would've been interesting as well (although it's my understanding that not many quality live performances of this great band exist). The repeated selections keep this box set from being a 'five-star' collection; however ... all in all, I love it , as this great compilation was years overdue.
Now, THAT was a band.
For what it's worth....I think they were great!
Awesome and often underrated band. Buffalo Springfield brought some great jams as well as great songs.


I had dinner tonight with speaker and author John Klymshyn. Good guy.
1. Be kind to someone.
2 - Negotiate as if you do not need the Deal.
It is a classic "Sales" book and at the same time it is not.
He reminds us of the age old classics in sales like "Feel, Felt, Found". (I know how you feel, many other customers felt the same way but what they found was by buying our product they save gazillions of dollars). And using open ended questions.
At the same time, he rejects all the sliminess that sometimes is associated with sales. I know I cannot sell anything I do not believe in nor can I sell to someone who does not need what I am selling.
One phrase John uses is "Moving Conversations Forward". I think he even trademarked it. The gist of the message is to keep things moving forward. He reminds us that sales is a process and many times a long an many touch process.
Throughout the book were amusing stories of sales disasters.
Great book. Highly recommended. It must be good - we are going to use it for one of our books in our Sales Book Club.
How to sell without being a jerk? Just do everything that customer wish to be done.
By the way - I like the "Every Day" list of John Klymshyn. Especially - part4: meditation. It strengthens the brain and helps to concentrate. Everyone should do this everyday, at least 20min/day.
