Talking Shop With Kristyn Potter, Founder Of Chez Nous Guide
In Refinery29's new Talking Shop series, we're chatting with owners of up-and-coming small businesses about their experiences launching, the big challenges and wins they've faced, and of course, their products and services. Discover new spots to patronize, while getting an intimate look at what it takes to run a small business in today's economy. Do you run a small business or do you want to recommend a small business you'd like to see featured on Talking Shop? Tell us more about it here.
When the coronavirus pandemic started ravaging small businesses and endangering workers across the country, many consumers began looking more critically at where they were shopping. Is this company treating its employees humanely? Are the products being sourced ethically? How will my money be used? Even more recently, with Black Lives Matter protests happening across the country, those same consumers doubled down on their scrutiny of the places they were patronizing and moved to prioritize buying from Black-owned businesses when possible. This was the perfect environment for the genesis of Chez Nous Guide, an inclusive and intersectional home for businesses, artists, and organizations that are owned and operated by historically marginalized people.
Chez Nous was officially launched on June 2, 2020, by founder and CEO Kristyn Potter. The online directory of curated businesses, organizations, and more has the primary mission to amplify POC, women, and LGBTQIA+ voices and bolster their projects. This is done by providing users with resources that help them support diversity, shop inclusively, and travel ethically. On Chez Nous Guide's website, you'll find city guides as well as listings in a wide variety of categories. Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, it takes more than just a great idea to build a small business, so we chatted with Potter about her journey to bring Chez Nous Guide to life, her biggest business challenges so far, and what being a small business means to her.
Refinery29: Walk me through the process of launching Chez Nous Guide.
Kristyn Potter: I got the idea a few months ago when I was having a conversation with my partner. We were discussing something super simple: where to get speakers. I was like, "Oh, I'll just go on Amazon," and he was like, "No, Amazon is the worst. You should support a small business." So I did some research on local, Black-owned record shops. Then, it came up again when I was going to order food for us from a local restaurant. I was like, "Oh, I'll just use Seamless," and he was like, "No, you should look at the menu on Seamless and then call the restaurant directly so Seamless doesn't take a cut of the revenue." That's when I was just like "Why is this so difficult?"
You want to support small businesses, and it shouldn't be so complicated. So it was primarily that dilemma. Why doesn't all this info exist somewhere other than Google, which is "supporting the man" — sidebar: I work at Google, so I think I can say that. You can either go on Google or Yelp or Amazon and that's not really helping the small businesses. So it came out of necessity. I wanted to support local businesses and there were no resources for me to easily do that, so I created it.
I bought the WordPress site and I designed it. I didn't plan on launching so soon though. When everyone on Instagram started sharing all those links to and Excel spreadsheets of Black-owned businesses when the Black Lives Matter was starting to get this recent resurgence, I was like, "You know what, we need to launch." I was planning on launching at the end of June, but I was like, "There's a need for this right now so we're launching tomorrow."
You mentioned you work at Google. Can you tell me more about your career and work experience outside of Chez Nous?
Basically, I've always worked in corporate America for some pretty big companies. When I first moved to New York, I worked at Sony Music. That led me to start a music magazine called Left Bank because I was in the music scene and a lot of my friends are musicians. So through the years, I've been doing this side hustle magazine and web development. Chez Nous started as the same type of thing — a side hustle — except now, because of the interest I'm seeing in Chez Nous and the potential it has, I'm applying for grants for women founders and Black founders as well as looking for investors. I'm also a contractor at Google as an email content manager. And before that, I was at Getty Images as a copywriter and New York Magazine as a copywriter, so I've been in the content world for a while now.
Do you have a background in business?
I think this question is so funny because I'll tell you, for undergrad, I was a double major in business marketing and journalism. I remember crying to my mom one day during my junior year saying, "I hate my business classes. I don't want to be a business owner. I don't want to work in marketing. I don't want to do any of it. That makes me miserable. I just wouldn't be a writer." Now, 10 years later, I'm at Google on the marketing team. I was at Getty on the marketing team. I've launched my own businesses.
That's so funny! What do you think changed? Is it just that the practical application of marketing and actually running a business are more stimulating than the classes were?
I think so. I've always been very reluctant to call myself a business owner because I think of business owners as people who are always in investor meetings and making pitch decks and just being super annoying. I really hate that, but I think what I like is that the businesses I've created are based on content and community. They're all about bringing the community together around music or bringing communities together around businesses in certain areas and travel. I think that's kind of like my get out of jail free card for being a business owner. It's like be a business owner but make it fun.
With that philosophy in mind, what is a small business to you?
I don't think it's based on the number of employees or the revenue that you're bringing in. I think it's based on how close you are to your core mission, how nimble you are, and how innovative you are. That's not to say that a Google or a Facebook isn't innovative, but I do think that some companies start to lose a little focus on why they started it and the people and their users and the audience. Last night, I went to this amazing restaurant. The owner was there, and he was showing us the tacos as they were coming out. He was talking about the micheladas, and he was just so passionate. That doesn't mean that the Mark Zuckerbergs aren't passionate, but I do think that the bigger you get, the more focused you are on the big picture and you're less focused on the people.
That perspective makes a lot of sense since you said you only felt comfortable starting a business if it had that community piece.
Yeah, and I think that you can hold onto that even as you scale up. Like Glossier, for example, I would say they're pretty big, but the founder Emily Weiss is still bringing up community. I think as long as you tailor your stuff to that and remember where you came from then I think you're still a small business.
You mentioned that you are now in the process of applying for grants. Have you received any funding for Chez Nous yet?
The only funding that I'm getting right now is from the business submissions. So people just pay a donation fee to get new businesses up on the site. There's a suggested amount, but most people are paying more than that. We're also launching a Patreon, just as a way to get continued support without it being too much of a lift. Then we'll be going to investors because investors want to see your growth potential and how much you're already making. Again, as of today, Chez Nous is like a month old so it's super, super young. I think companies that grow really quickly can lose that heart and soul like I mentioned before, so I'm really cautious to make sure that we do it correctly.
How many employees do you have at this point? Do you have any idea how many people you eventually want to employ?
At this point, it's volunteer-run, except for my best friend, Taylor. She's my first employee, and she is in charge of grants and investors.
I see Chez Nous having a WeWork in two to three markets — definitely West Coast, definitely New York, then most likely like a Berlin or a Paris. I also envision Chez Nous doing both virtual and live events. We already have a Chez Nous movie club where we watch films from marginalized creators. That kind of stuff is free and also doesn't really take a lot of resources. My big goal is having a brick and mortar space or a few little spaces where there are curated products and services. So I would say the number would probably be around like 40 to 50 employees globally. I see it growing, but I don't see it being like a huge 100-, 200-, 1,000-person company.
I'm curious, because you mentioned Berlin or Paris as a possible location, what has you interested in the international side of things? Have you spent time in Europe?
Yeah, I used to live in London, and I go to Paris like once or twice a year. I'm going to Berlin whenever COVID clears up, I go to London all the time, and when I do, I want to go to places where people like me are the owners. Not to say that I don't want to go to a pub owned by a cis white male, but it's cool to visit London or Paris or Reykjavik go to woman-owned bookstore or a Black-owned shoe store or a Black-own souvenir shop. That means so much to me. So a big part of my vision for Chez Nous is for it not just to be a directory for your city but also a travel guide. I'm going to roll out a newsletter and a section on the site that have more travel-related content and links to the different sites and locations on the Chez Nous directory.
I'm sure the entire last month has been a whirlwind, but can you pinpoint your biggest business challenge so far?
This is honestly my favorite question. My biggest challenge is that there's so much interest and help and there's one of me. There are the volunteers, but it takes time to onboard people. I'm literally getting text messages, Instagram DMs, and emails constantly "here's this new business," "here are 10 places in Berlin," "here are a hundred Black-owned restaurants in L.A." and there are only just a few of us. It's a great problem to have. I'm telling you, if I had the womanpower, I would have thousands of businesses. We have the content, we just don't have the resources yet.
What about the biggest business win so far?
Oh my gosh, three days after launching, Fast Company wrote about us. They did a selection of the top ten places to get information about Black-owned businesses. Out of ten websites and apps from all over the world, Chez Nous was one of them, and we had literally just launched.
Since Talking Shop is a series about small businesses, my final question for you is what other small businesses are you excited about or inspired by right now?
Cafe Con Libros in Brooklyn is the number one place. It's a Black-owned feminist cafe slash safe space. Right now, they're doing curbside pickup. They have a podcast. They're so cool. Another really sick place is called Busboys and Poets in D.C. and the D.C. area. It's a revolutionary activist cafe named after Langston Hughes so that one's super cool. There's also this really cool jerk chicken slash car wash in Nashville called Caribbean Splash Reggae Cafe and Car Wash.
These are all listed on Chez Nous. I do want to add this because I think it's important: the places that are on Chez Nous, they're not just every Black-owned and every woman-owned company. That would be kind of crazy. There's an important curation element to it. They're all places that are unique and fun or have some cool perspectives.
This interview was edited for length and clarity.

Example: If your husband died in your residence due to committing suicide, it may possibly be a point of interest to some purchasers, especially to those who rather not live in a home exactly where somebody died in it, but it genuinely doesn't have anything to do with how sound the property is structurally. Your ideas are on the mark as I am in the real estate niche and in reality I also write about this on my blog and totally free report given that it is a under utilized tool by For Sale By House Owners. We sell complete islands, land with organizing prospective, villas, apartments and old Dalmatian-style houses. CraftytotheCore – These houses might sell much better if the owners upgraded a couple of issues.
The Cyprus genuine estate industry is booming with outstanding possibilities, with properties for sale on the lovely beachfront, in the breathtaking countryside, and in the heart of the island's city centres. The homes that are for sale have the original carpets and really little upgrades from the 1950s. Ok, that's not most likely to occur, so you have to think about if you want to have Open Houses to sell your home.
Some contemporary homes fall apart following 30 years, cob residences will final for several generations and are effortless to repair when they do need repairing. Even so lately I had come across a couple of blogs and internet sites that detailed the earlier Lundby houses and furnishings. Uncover out about costs, whether these are dealt with separately or added to the buying value at the date of sale in other words, what process that distinct agent adopts. The Banks are holding back several repossessed houses from the market place for one main explanation. Cob in warmer climates is named Adobe 🙂 There are cob homes in each and every climate.
Redemption Period: There is NO redemption period for the earlier owner, as soon as the home is sold by means of auction and the deed is recorded the earlier owner can't redeem. This delightful little chalet homes the Grandparent dolls that had been sold by Caroline's Residence in the 1980s. Belize has islands for sale that are blank canvases ready for you to develop to your liking or you can locate islands that are already developed and have properties or resorts on them, providing you a ready-created business chance. In addition, we can supply custom wooden houses in a assortment of sizes or to your own custom style and specification.
She is possessing a survey carried out and completion of the sale due to take place within four weeks. Three bedroom houses start from about £350,000 but an occasional, smaller house might appear for sale, so its worth keeping your eyes open. I essentially wrote the hub to warn individuals that underground homes are not constantly what they are cracked up to be. (Excuse the pun, but it was intended.) Thanks for commenting.

Шарль Франсуа Поль Ле Норман де Турнем (, 1684—1751) — французский финансист, опекун, возможно, настоящий отец мадам де Помпадур, королевский администратор и синдик. Через свою подопечную, которую познакомил с королём, пользовался большим политическим влиянием.

Биография
В 1725 году официальный отец Пуассон, которая затем станет известна как мадам де Помпадур, был вынужден покинуть Францию. Опекуном мадам стал де Турнем, который, возможно, и являлся её настоящим отцом.

Он вырастил девушку, дал ей образование и в 1741 году выдал замуж за своего племянника Шарля (), с которым она рассталась в 1745 по настоянию Людовика XV.

В декабре 1745 благодаря влиянию мадам Помпадур на короля он был назначен генеральным директором учреждения, заведовавшего строительством, относящимся к монарху под названием Bâtiments du Roi. Этот пост он сохранил до самой смерти, надзирая за королевскими строительными проектами и заслужив положительные отзывы современников как хороший администратор. Ко времени его директорства относится диспут о рококо и архитектурных излишествах, которые имели как своих сторонников, так и противников. Де Турнем курировал проектирование и строительство здания Шато де Белльвиль (), которое король и Помпадур использовали для встреч.

После его смерти Bâtiments du Roi возглавил талантливый брат Помпадур Абель-Франсуа Пуассон ().

BC Lions' quarterback Michael Reilly, centre, throws the ball as Calgary Stampeders close in during second half CFL football action in Calgary, Thursday, Aug. 12, 2021.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh
B.C. entrepreneur Amar Doman introduced as new owner of B.C. Lions
Asset management firm owner buys team from the estate of former owner David Braley
Aug. 18, 2021 2:30 p.m.
The new owner of the CFL's B.C. Lions knows he has work to do.
Amar Doman has been a fan of the CFL club since he was 10 years old, and has watched its popularity fade throughout the community. Now the entrepreneur believes he has what it takes to reinvigorate not just the Lions but the league as a whole.
"I like to rebuild things," Doman told reporters Wednesday after it was announced he had purchased the team from the estate of previous owner David Braley.
"I think this needs a rebuild, a community touch. And the CFL, I believe, needs a bit of a reboot and I think I'm the guy to do it. I think I can pull the community together and also get the community and the team more involved locally."
The Victoria-born businessman is the founder and sole shareholder of the Futura Corporation, an asset management firm. He's also helmed Doman Building Materials and Tree Island Steel.
And he's long wanted to add owner of the B.C. Lions to his portfolio.
Doman said he talked to Braley about potentially buying the club "a few times" over the years but Braley simply wasn't ready to let the team go.
"You can't time business deals," he said. "When they come up, you're either going to move on them or you're not. And this type of opportunity I've been working on for a long time, so it's something I would have happily closed on years ago, quite frankly."
Doman declined to say how much he had bought the team for, but noted he's willing to dig into his pockets to ensure the team's success.
"I'm prepared to put dollars into this team, as most owners are right now in the CFL," he said.
"In the Canadian athletic space, sports space, you're not in it to drive a big return. If a return comes, I think that's great. I think the No. 1 thing you do with that return is reinvest it in the organization and the community."
Braley, a Hamilton businessman, a Canadian Football Hall of Famer and former senator, bought the team in 1997 and was rumoured several times to be looking for a buyer before he died last October at the age of 79.
He wanted someone who was local and passionate about Canadian football, but was never able to find the perfect fit.
"David loved the Lions so much he could just never get to the finish line. It wasn't a matter of money, he just loved the Lions," said the team's president, Rick LeLacheur. "So I think today, he'd be looking down and saying 'Amar's the right guy to replace me in this community.'… I think he'd just love what's happened today."
What makes Doman special, LeLacheur said, is that he's long been a Lions supporter and had "tremendous patience" in waiting to buy the team.
"He's been a fan and he's been a sponsor," he said. "He's professional, he knows governance, he gets management to manage his companies. But at the same time, he's an idea guy."
He's also someone uniquely positioned to connect with Metro Vancouver's large South Asian community and get them interested in the Lions.
Doman said he's proud of his South Asian heritage and how his grandparents came to Vancouver Island in 1906.
"I think I can definitely connect with (the South Asian community)," he said. "If I can't, who can I connect with? And I'll be leaning on them to come down to B.C. Place."
Having Doman come in at the beginning of the 2021 season "makes exactly the right statement at exactly the right time," said CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie.
"I think having Amar step in and with the energy he's going to bring to our league, he's obviously very successful in business, he's got a deep and very rich history of integration of businesses and driving success," he said. "I think that's what we need a lot of."
The Lions finished the 2019 season last in the West Division with a 5-13 record. They are off to a 1-1 start this year and will play their first home game Thursday against the Edmonton Elks (0-2).
COVID-19 protocols will limit capacity to 12,500 fans and tickets were still available to the game as of Wednesday afternoon.
As owner, Doman plans to work behind the scenes to "get B.C. Place a little more noisy again" and work with the team in the community, but he said head coach and co-general manager Rick Campbell will remain the face of the team.
"To me, this isn't about one season. This is about the next 25-30 years and rebuilding the brand," he said. "There's a lot of different factors that have to go in to get this going again. It won't happen over night. But we've got a good start just getting fans back into the seats after COVID."

In September 1942, Manhattan Project director General Leslie Groves designated "Site X," approximately 59,000 acres of land on the Clinch River in rural eastern Tennessee, as the site for the project's uranium production facilities. Approximately 3,000 people living in the area in five small farming communities were forced to leave their homes and land with minimal compensation. Construction of a new city began at breakneck speed. By the end of World War II, some 75,000 people would call Oak Ridge home, making it the fifth-largest city in Tennessee.
The program includes firsthand accounts from Oak Ridge workers and residents, the press release said. It highlights the historic X-10 Graphite Reactor, a prototype plutonium production reactor and the first nuclear reactor designed for continuous operation. The program also focuses on three uranium enrichment facilities that employed different methods to separate uranium isotopes for an atomic bomb. The Y-12 plant used a technology called electromagnetic separation; the K-25 plant, gaseous diffusion; and the S-50 plant, liquid thermal diffusion. These plants produced the enriched uranium for the atomic bomb, "Little Boy," dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945.
After hearing that the K-25 plant was running into trouble, physicist Philip Abelson notified Manhattan Project leaders about his recent success with the thermal diffusion technology. Abelson had designed a separation facility for the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
"I got word one day that I was to go to the Warner Theatre that evening," he recalled. "At eight o'clock I was to go to the balcony. I would be approached by a man who would identify himself." The man turned out to be Los Alamos laboratory associate director William S. "Deak" Parsons. The information Abelson gave him convinced General Groves to order the construction of S-50 in record time: less than 80 days.
Wilcox worked at the Y-12 and K-25 plants and later became the City of Oak Ridge's official historian. He stayed in Oak Ridge for the rest of his life, marrying and raising his family in the town.
The stress and secrecy of the top-secret project could take its toll, however.
However, not everyone at Oak Ridge was in a celebratory mood.
"Ranger in Your Pocket: Oak Ridge" will be an educational tool for students, online audiences around the world, and visitors to the Manhattan Project National Historical Park. AHF is grateful to William H. Wilcox, son of William J. (Bill) Wilcox Jr.; the Wilcox family; and Ellen Cherniavsky, daughter of Philip Abelson, for their valuable support for this program, the press release said.
Over the next year, AHF will expand the program to incorporate more stories and perspectives that reflect the complexity of this history, the press release said. New vignettes will include testimonials from some of the thousands of African-Americans who worked at Oak Ridge and endured segregation there, as well as accounts of people displaced by the Manhattan Project.
AHF recently received a generous grant from the IEEE Foundation to develop a "Ranger in Your Pocket" on "Oak Ridge Innovations," the release said. In partnership with the IEEE East Tennessee Section, AHF will highlight Oak Ridge's legacy for science and society today, from the development of nuclear reactors to particle physics, computer science, health physics, and medicine.
"We are looking forward to working with AHF on the Oak Ridge Innovations project," said Justin Baba, chair of the Oak Ridge IEEE East Tennessee Section. "From high-speed computing to biomedical imaging, this program will help the public better understand the many ways that the innovations developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory can be used to address today's global challenges." AHF looks forward to sharing different perspectives on Oak Ridge's history and legacy today, the press release said.
See these links for more information: The Atomic Heritage Foundation (AHF) is pleased to launch a new online interpretive program on Oak Ridge, Tennessee with 16 audio/visual vignettes. This beta program is part of AHF's "Ranger in Your Pocket" series on the Manhattan Project, which focuses on former Manhattan Project sites and features vignettes with eyewitness accounts and expert commentary.
The Atomic Heritage Foundation is a nonprofit in Washington, DC, dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the Manhattan Project and its legacy. AHF led efforts to create a Manhattan Project National Historical Park for more than a decade. Now, AHF is continuing to preserve historic sites and develop educational programming for park visitors, students, teachers, and the general public.

Is there an affordable method available for processing multiple live video feeds from surveillance cameras onto a videowall without overloading the processor or having to purchase an expensive processor?
Q: Is there an affordable method available for processing multiple live video feeds from surveillance cameras onto a videowall without overloading the processor or having to purchase an expensive processor?
A: First, I'll make some basic assumptions: 1) You have surveillance cameras on the network, 2) you have a basic processor controlling your videowall, and 3) you have available analog video inputs to this processor. In this scenario, the most common way to avoid taxing your processor is to implement a bank of decoders to convert your camera feeds to analog video, and feed these sources into a surveillance video multiplexer/switch. This will give you the capability to "process" the images prior to feeding your videowall. Companies such as Barco and Jupiter currently offer videowall controllers with streaming video decoder cards as inputs to their systems. This eliminates the requirement for a bank of decoders, the multiplexer/switch, and taxing the processor to display these images.


#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey sweeps readers away on a seductive adventure with the "wickedly witty, lusciously sensual" (Booklist) Malory family when a detested marriage contract turns childhood enemies into passionate lovers. Nine years ago, Richard Allen fled England and his controlling father. Determined to live his own life, he took to the sea and settled in the Caribbean, joining a band of treasure-hunting pirates and adopting the persona of a carefree, seductive Frenchman named Jean Paul to guard the secrets of his past. When he slips back into England to carry out an urgent task, Richard becomes infatuated with a married woman, Georgina Malory. But his reckless attempt to woo Georgina at a masked ball turns out to be the worst mistake of his life because it brings him face to face with another beautiful woman. Thrilled that her solicitors have finally come up with a way to free her from her betrothal contract to the Earl of Manford's son who abandoned her years ago, heiress Julia Miller is ready for the marriage mart and hopes to find that perfect someone at her friend Georgina's ball. Charmed by a masked Frenchman who gives her her first kiss, she can't help but pursue this mysterious man--until she makes a shocking discovery. Now, to avoid falling into a ruthless nobleman's trap, Julia must enter a risky, intimate charade with a man she never believed she could love. With a little help from the lucky-in-love Malory family, will Richard and Julia discover in each other that perfect someone?
"The Malorys are the family everyone wishes they had, so returning to their world is like entering a bit of heaven. The way Lindsey expertly writes a seductive battle of wills loves story is magic; love, laughter, adventure and passion collide as childhood foes become lovers."
Johanna Lindsey is world-renowned for her "mastery of historical romance" (Entertainment Weekly), with more than sixty million copies of her novels sold. She is the author of fifty-five previous national bestselling novels, many of which reached the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list. Lindsey lives in New Hampshire with her family.

Wilma Forms into Hurricane, Rotating off Coast of Honduras
Wilma, the 21st named storm of the current season, strenthened to hurricane force today with sustained winds in excess of 75 mph (120 km/hr). The storm is still slowly rotating off the coast of Honduras, and hurricane warnings have been issued for that country, all the way to the Nicaraguan border. A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch also remain in effect for the Cayman Islands.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami's latest bulletin warns: "Wilma is forecast to become a major hurricane in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea. All interests in Western Cuba, the Yucatan Peninsula, the Florida Keys and the Florida Peninisula should closely monitor the progress of Wilma."
The NHC said earlier that Wilma is around 260 miles (420 kms) south-southeast of Grand Cayman and about 215 miles (345 kms) east-northeast of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Nicaragua/Honduras border. The storm has "barely moved for the past several hours but a general motion to the west is expected today followed by a gradual turn toward the west-northwest," said the NHC.
The NHC also noted that "steering currents remain weak and erratic motion is possible during the next 24 hours." Under those circumstances it is virtually impossible to chart Wilma's future course with any certainty. It could move west towards Central American and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, or north towards Cuba and eventually the U.S. Gulf Coast, or possibly shift to the northeast towards Florida.
Wilma's appearance has raised new fears of further damage to gulf oil rigs and a shutdown of repair efforts, if the storm heads that way. At this point, however, no firm predictions concerning the storm's movements or its eventual strength can be made.

Q: How to make minutes and seconds stopwatch in c Im trying to make a minutes and seconds timer but am having some trouble. The timer does not have to stop, as it will rarely go up to 5 mins.
Im trying to format it as mm:ss.
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

#define TRUE 1

int main( void ) {

    if (sec == 59){
        min++;
        sec = 0;
    }

    }
    return 0;
}

I've been trying this code but it does not seem to show the timer in the terminal when I run it.

A: You have to either output entire lines of text or call fflush. Otherwise, printf just puts text into the output buffer.

What is a "Good" Project?
Breaking Down Our Survey on Gulf Restoration Priorities
ELI Gulf Team, July 28, 2016
In June, the ELI Gulf Team released a survey on priorities for Gulf restoration in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It was designed to understand what elements our partners and collaborators think are most important to good restoration projects. We started with a list of eight project elements:
We sent the survey to our listserv, with several people forwarding the survey more broadly. Our intent was to keep the sample relatively small in order to focus on the opinions of our partners and collaborators (at least to start). As of July 13, we received 134 responses to the survey.
The responses to the questions provide some wonderful insight into what matters most in Gulf restoration.
Project Element Ranking
The first question asked respondents to rank the eight project elements in order of their importance. The relative weights that the respondents accorded each element were as follows:
Of the respondents, 59% (79 of 134) ranked "Positive Ecological Benefit" as the most important element, and 76% (102 of 134) ranked it as one of the top two most important elements. Conversely, 43% of respondents (57 of 134) ranked "Positive Economic Benefit" as the least important project element, and 58% (78 of 134) ranked it among the bottom two elements. The second most important element was ensuring that the Needs of Communities are taken into account. The other elements – climate change resilience, public participation, coordination, regional integration, and monitoring and adaptive management – were all clustered close together in their rankings.
There were other notable findings from the survey. For example, certain elements had wide variations in their rankings (i.e. they were ranked at the top of the list by some people and at the bottom by others). This included the "Meaningful Public Participation" element, which ranked sixth overall but had the second-most first-place rankings. Other elements, like "Integration with Regional Goals and Objectives," were ranked more consistently (i.e. there was not such a wide variation in how respondents ranked them).
Other Project Elements
Our second and third questions asked for suggestions about other important project elements and general feedback. In regards to other important project elements, responses generally fell into six broad categories. Those six categories are listed below, along with some examples of the comments we received for each:
Generally, the comments elaborated on the eight elements in the first question (many on "Positive Ecological Benefit"), though there were some new, important perspectives. These comments will be extremely useful as we think about criteria to evaluate whether restoration projects are "good" ones.
Moving forward, we plan to develop a resource based in part on this feedback, which will help people and organizations in the Gulf think further about whether a particular restoration project is "good." Getting your input was the first step. Next, we will work to support the priorities we heard from the survey. Thank you for your continued engagement!

Wholesalers, Others Face Deadline for Proposed Water Authority
It has been more than a month since the Mayor of Winnsboro laid down the law for wholesale customers of Winnsboro water, and so far only two distributors of that water have indicated an interest in partnering in a joint water authority. With a Sept. 30 deadline looming, other entities could be left out in the cold in terms of future water sales.
According to documents included with the Town Manager's report for the Aug. 7 meeting of Winnsboro Town Council, the Town had received positive responses from the Town of Ridgeway and Mid-County Water to joining the Town of Winnsboro in the Regional Water Supply Authority for Fairfield County. No response had been received from the Jenkinsville Water Company or Fairfield County. The Town had also received no response from the Mitford Water Company or the Town of Blythewood.
Under the proposed plan, members will be expected to contribute $5,000 to a Charter Committee bank account to raise capital for incorporating costs. If at least $15,000 hasn't been raised by the Sept. 30 deadline, the entire project goes up in smoke.
"If we haven't raised that money by the September deadline, then the Town will probably have to look at phasing distributors off the system," said John Fantry, special counsel to the Town of Winnsboro. "It is a 'pay to play' system. If Winnsboro is the only one putting up any money to do this, if other people aren't committed, then we're going to have to take care of ourselves, and that means cutting people off of wholesale water."
Although the checks have not been written just yet, with Mid-County and Ridgeway willing to join with Winnsboro, it appears that the money to move forward will be there. But that doesn't necessarily mean wholesale water will continue to flow to entities choosing not to participate.
"They risk losing water from the Authority," Fantry said, "whether the Authority has excess to sell or not."
If the Authority were formed today, Winnsboro, Mid-County and Ridgeway, with the assistance of Santee Cooper and the Central Midlands Council of Governments, would establish a Charter Committee, made up of two voting members from each participating entity. The Authority would design the system infrastructure required to meet the needs of each of its members and issue bonds to help pay for that infrastructure. The Charter Committee would then sell retail water to the individual members.
Currently, the Jenkinsville Water Company (JWC) purchases approximately 50 percent of its water from Mid-County, which in turn buys water from Winnsboro; but Gregrey Ginyard, president of the JWC Board of Trustees, said his company is not interested in joining the authority.
"At this time, we don't feel like that would be beneficial for us," Ginyard said, and added he was not overly concerned about the possibility of being cut off from Winnsboro water.
"We're working on other water sources," Ginyard said. "We're looking at putting in more wells and we're applying for grants for a treatment plant so we can pull water out of the river. At this point in time, we can't see turning the Jenkinsville Water Company over to someone else."
The Mitford Water Company said they would like to have joined in the project, but were locked into a contract with Chester County for the next 30 years or more. Mitford Water serves approximately 900 customers in Fairfield County.
John Perry, Town Administrator for the Town of Blythewood, said he has not yet received any direction from Town Council on which way Blythewood will go on the water authority.
Fairfield County, which has for months been waiting on a water tap from the Town of Winnsboro to supply water to a new industrial park, has also not committed to the proposed water authority. A special called meeting was to be held Wednesday night for Council to discuss the matter.
"What we've got to figure out is where we fit in," David Ferguson, Chairman of Fairfield County Council, said. "What is our niche? Do we need to be involved or not?"


DALLAS — Continental Airlines Inc. said Sunday it would not pursue a combination with another carrier right away, a surprising move after weeks of growing speculation that it would join with United Airlines to create the world's biggest airline.
Continental Chairman and Chief Executive Lawrence Kellner said in a message to employees that the Houston-based airline was better off alone than merging.
"We have significant cultural, operational and financial strengths compared to the rest of the industry, and we want to protect and enhance those strengths — which we believe would be placed at risk in a merger with another carrier in today's environment," Kellner told employees.
Although it reported an $80 million loss in the first quarter, Continental is widely viewed as the second-strongest U.S. carrier in financial terms, behind only Southwest Airlines Co., which has indicated it isn't interested in a merger.
While Kellner ruled out a merger for the time being, Continental appeared to leave the door open to an alliance with another carrier. The airline has reportedly discussed such an arrangement with AMR Corp., the parent of American Airlines, in which the companies would work together in many ways but not merge their operations.
Airlines have been considering consolidation as a way to cut costs as they face the strain of record fuel prices. Delta Air Lines Inc. announced earlier this month it has agreed to buy Northwest Airlines Corp. in a stock-swap deal that would create the world's largest carrier. A Continental-United combination would have trumped Delta-Northwest in size.
A United spokesman did not immediately return a call for comment.
"Every U.S. carrier, including Continental, is under enormous pressure from record high fuel prices, a slowing U.S. economy and a weak dollar," Kellner told employees. "In today's harsh environment, we must continue to adjust our business model to ensure we successfully navigate through these difficult times, so that in the future we can once again grow and prosper."
Continental expects to spend $1.2 billion more on fuel this year than it did in 2007. To cope with the added cost, the airline plans to take some older, less-fuel-efficient planes out of service over the next 12 months and to reduce its U.S. capacity by 5 percent beginning this fall.
A spokesman for Continental's union pilots said pilots were pleased that the company won't pursue a merger, given the weak condition of other carriers. United Airlines parent UAL Corp., for example, lost $537 million in the first quarter and announced it would cut 1,100 jobs.
"We are somewhat relieved," said the union spokesman, Mark Adams. "We look around at the first-quarter financials from the other legacy carriers. Do you really want to swim out to a drowning man and just get pulled down with them?"
Kellner had long said Continental would prefer to remain independent — if the landscape of the airline industry stayed the same.
But Kellner opened the door to merger speculation this month by saying that the Delta deal had changed the landscape, and by exercising a right to buy out Northwest's veto power over a Continental merger — although that move cost only $100 once Northwest agreed to be purchased by Delta.
Continental and its regional subsidiaries operate about 3,100 daily flights. Continental has major hubs in Newark, N.J., Houston and Cleveland.

You spend about a third of your life asleep. It's when your body rests, repairs, and rejuvenates itself. Few things are as damaging to your mental and physical well-being as routinely getting a poor night's sleep, but one in three people will suffer from insomnia at some point in their lives. Before reaching for a prescription sleep aid, there are several things you can do to help naturally improve the quality of your sleep.
1. Create a healthy and strict routine.
A chaotic schedule can wreak havoc on good sleep. Your body has an internal clock that it uses to gauge when to eat, sleep, and release hormones like cortisol. Living without a set routine may work for some people, but others require more structure to ensure that they are able to devote a full night to sleep. If you often find yourself flying by the seat of your pants and at a loss for how to get a good night's sleep, consider establishing a firm schedule with a regular bedtime.
2. Meditate, or make time for relaxation.
While falling asleep during meditation is generally not the goal, a regular meditative practice can help quiet some of the internal noise that can leave you lying awake at 2 AM. If you find that you're often unable to sleep because there's too much on your mind, making time to meditate or relax before bed can help you learn to calm those thoughts and fall asleep.
3. Make your bedroom your sanctuary.
For many people, bedrooms have become sort of multi purpose. Beds are no longer for sleeping, they're also used for lounging, studying, reading, gaming, watching TV, and more. While this might be comfy, it's counterproductive when it comes time for sleep -- making your bed and bedroom a sanctuary that's just for relaxation and sleep sends powerful signals to your mind when it comes time to lay down. Use other rooms, or at least other parts of your bedroom, for leisure activities. Keep your bed for sleeping, and you'll get a better night's rest.
Most people picture a TV or ticking clock when they think of bedtime distractions, but the truth is that they come in many forms. Noisy electronics are one, but so is motion, uncomfortable sleepwear, and running plumbing -- things that are often overlooked when insomnia sufferers are wondering how to get a good sleep. Invest in good-quality nightclothes that don't bind, rub, or itch, choose your mattress wisely, and try wearing earplugs to bed for restful, distraction-free slumber.
Another source of nighttime distraction is indigestion. Not only can a painful, gurgling stomach make it hard to fall asleep, it can wake you up in the middle of the night and even cause nightmares. Identify trigger foods that cause indigestion, and avoid consuming them before bed. While these foods vary from person to person, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, garlic, citrus, and greasy foods are all common culprits. Consuming a few carbs before bed may also help, as they facilitate tryptophan (a vital part of serotonin and melatonin production) crossing the blood-brain barrier.
Valerian root. Taken in capsule or tea form, this strong-smelling herb causes drowsiness.
Chamomile. Usually drunk as tea, chamomile works to relieve pain, ease muscles, and induce relaxation.
Melatonin. This sleep-triggering hormone is available in supplement form from most vitamin shops.
Catnip. Like chamomile, this herb can be brewed into a tea to help with relaxation.
Passionflower. Studies involving passionflower conclude that it may have relaxant properties similar to prescription sedatives.
Hops. Usually known for its use in brewing beer, hops may also help aid relaxation and sleep.
Though sleeping well might feel like an impossibility when you're staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night, learning how to get good sleep doesn't have to be an expensive or complicated process. By establishing a routine, properly relaxing, reserving your bedroom for sleeping, eliminating trigger foods and distractions, and occasionally using natural sleep aids, you can get the satisfying, restful sleep your body needs to function at its best.

Even though there has been a drastic push to "go green" in recent years by businesses and consumers alike, there is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding industrial power monitoring. Unfortunately for the general public and the environment, most people don't realize just how beneficial it can be.
Here are the top five myths about power metering, and the actual truths behind them.
Only certain businesses can take advantage of power monitoring equipment.
False. Just about any company can benefit from power monitoring, regardless of their size or industry. Whether you are a power provider or consumer, the power meters and submeters from Electro Industries can help you monitor your power usage in real-time, and develop programs to reduce your consumption.
Power monitoring is not profitable.
This is far from the truth. Not only can power monitoring be profitable, it's ROI is extremely easy to measure. By cutting back on wasted energy, you are reducing your operating costs and increasing your profit margin. The power quality analyzers from Electro Industries can also help you prevent lost revenue due to costly downtime.
Tenants are the only ones who benefit from energy-efficient buildings.
Untrue. Many property owners are reluctant to invest money into energy-efficient products and upgrades because they are under the assumption that their tenants will benefit from the savings, not them. This depends on your leasing structure, but lower tenant bills always means increased satisfaction and a more marketable complex.
Energy-efficiency is exclusively for new buildings.
Wrong. No matter how old your facility is, there are ways to reduce your energy usage and save money. While it is true that your efforts may be more strenuous in an older building, there is even more room for improvement and more money to be saved!
Energy savings plans take forever to implement.
Not necessarily. Some easy ways to save energy include upgrading to compact fluorescent light bulbs and powering down equipment before your employees leave for the night/weekend. While some programs can take months to implement, other initiatives can be done overnight – literally!


How to compare PIValues Objects.
The point is, what is the most eficient way to compare the Objects _archiveValues_origem and _archiveValues_destino to see if they have the same events?
Re: How to compare PIValues Objects.
Probably best to use IPIValues2.GetValuesArray method and compare the arrays. Check out the Optimizing PI SDK Applications white paper in the library for some more details on it.
Disclaimer: I have not tested this in every situation, but I think something like this could be a good way to go.
//If exc1 or exc2 contain any elements, then the data is not exactly the same.
Michael, don't you still have the interop marshalling overhead? Over large time periods with high frequency data I would first get the arrays and then parse.
Good point! I will investigate.
It looks like you are absolutely right. getting 30 days of values (about 800) from 'sinusoid': IPIValues2.GetValueArrays takes about 16ms, using PIValues.Cast<PIValue> takes 1.9 seconds. That's a pretty huge difference.
Advice to the OP: use IPIValues2 instead.
The issue isn't with PIValues.Cast<PIValue> itself, it has to do with a method to get the information 'out of' the PIValue object. In my case I use IENumerable.Select() into an anonymous class (see code samples below). It seems that this takes up the actual time. I also tried selecting Tuple<T1, T2, T3>, but that didn't provided any real difference in timings.
////If exc1 or exc2 contain any elements, then the data is not exactly the same.
I will work on the IPIValues Method, thanks everyone for the Help.
Michael, how about comparing your tests above with RDA from AF SDK 2012 CTP?
Issue is, I'm currently at a Developers Conference, and the hotel where I stay has pretty poor internet connectivity. I managed to download the CTP yesterday evening, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm expecting a lot from it. I hope to come up with some code samples and numbers very shortly.

What is included in the fee? What can I expect from the musicians?
The fee includes all music (up to 1 hour), from the prelude (15-20 minutes before the ceremony as guests are seating) to the postlude (1-2 pieces after the recessional as guests are leaving). This includes music for: 1. seating of mothers/grandmothers, 2. bridal party, 3. bridal processional, 4. any special rites within the ceremony (sand pouring, unity candle lighting, etc.), and 5. the recessional.
The musicians will arrive approximately 30-40 minutes before the ceremony, to set up (only takes 5 minutes), to begin playing prelude music 15-20 minutes before the scheduled ceremony start time. If there is a singer or another musician you've planned for us to collaborate with for the ceremony, the musicians will arrive much sooner, to run through the program, make sure everyone has music, rehearse, and generally confirm that everyone is on the same page.
Absolutely! We do have some specific requests for outdoor weddings, however--primarily to protect our wooden antique instruments from the elements, and to also ensure that we can perform at the highest level for you.
We regret our strict adherence to not being able to play unless these conditions are met, and we do not refund payments... Please help us make the music for your event worry-free by having either a backup plan for inclement weather, or providing us with adequate protection!
Can you accompany singers/organists/other musicians?
Yes! We work with singers and other musicians quite often. Please contact us to tell us what you have in mind!
What can you play? Do you perform rock or pops tunes?
One of the things that sets us apart from other wedding ensembles in the area is our musical versatility. Not only do we regularly perform all the standard traditional wedding music, but we also have an extensive catalogue of rock and pop covers, which can be arranged for any sort of ensemble you choose. (Check out our repertoire here.) If you want something in your ceremony that we don't have in our library already, we can easily find, or arrange anything you request, to your liking. The fees for special arrangements are very reasonable ($5-45) and depend on instrumentation, length, and complexity.
Are the musicians I see/hear on this website the same ones who will play at my event?
For the most part, yes. At least one, and usually most (if not all) of the musicians you hear in the recordings will be playing at your event. All musicians who play Harlequin Chamber Music event are either full-time, tenured, professional musicians in the Louisiana Philharmonic, or sub regularly. In addition, all our musicians have played together for years in other chamber music events and concerts, and have years of experience with all sorts of weddings in all seasons and venues.
How will the musicians dress?
The dress code is normally formal concert black (dressy black for ladies; black shirt/trousers, or suit and tie for men). If you have any specific requests, please let us know and we will be happy to accommodate your request!
Do you need to attend the wedding rehearsal?
Usually not. Arriving 30-40 minutes before the ceremony on the day-of is usually enough for our musicians. We have extensive experience in knowing how to time the music to various parts of the ceremony without needing to run through it in a rehearsal. There are a few exceptions, which might include music-heavy Catholic masses, or ceremonies with a lot of coordination between any other musicians. Please contact us with more details if you feel a rehearsal might be necessary, or if you simply feel more comfortable with the musicians at your rehearsal.
Do you need to be amped? Do you have a sound system?
Most of the time, no--amplification isn't necessary, even outdoors. (We turn on our 'outdoor instrument voices.') However, there are certain outdoor venues where it has been difficult to hear anything, including music, due to the acoustics of the space (Jackson Square, parts of City Park, to name a couple.) Also, the more guests there are, the more muffled the sound will become, as it travels to the last rows.
We unfortunately don't own our own sound system (yet), but in these cases, if you would like an amplified sound for the music, we recommend that you talk to your planner/MC/the venue to see if they can provide extra microphones and speakers for us. We've found that at least one microphone for every two musicians seems to work best.
I want to book, what do I do now?
That's great! The first thing to do is click the button below, to fill out the initial contact form. We'll get back to you as soon as possible (usually within 24 hours), though it may take a little longer if we are traveling for work, or if the orchestra is in off-season.
We'll get more information about your wedding/event, and discuss your music budget (if you have one), preference for ensemble, and your musical preferences. Once you've chosen an ensemble, we'll send you a PDF contract which you can fill out and either e-mail as a PDF or mail back, along with a non-refundable deposit to guarantee your date/time, which is 50% of your total fee. The balance will be due about a month before the wedding.


When young people start thinking about the careers they would like to have, some wonder about the possibility of a career in the haulage industry. HGV drivers may not have a very glamorous life, but they get to make good money by working hard and there is the potential to progress further in this career if you are good enough.
Another common misperception is that this is a career only males should consider. While there are fewer female lorry drivers out there, the number is growing and should keep growing if the younger generation moves past the gender issues and allows this shift to take place.
The best thing about this career is that there is a lot of freedom. The hours are very flexible and you get to decide when you work, and how much you work. If you want to work long hours because you don't have a family, you can do so and earn enough to live comfortably and save. However, if you do have a family, you can make sure you're home most nights for dinner.
An additional benefit is the advances in technology that have taken place. Modern trucks are very comfortable, with air-conditioning and your favourite music. You will be able to pick the best routes with the result of your GPS system. In the past few years, this has become a profession that pays more than the national average (with wages being between 26,000 and 34,000 pounds per year). Also, there has been a decrease in the number of hours you must work in a week, down to 48 from 65.
There are also opportunities for career growth in this industry. After you have had significant experience in haulage, you can move on to become an instructor for future drivers. You will be required to teach students how to drive safely and help them develop the skills they will need to pass their HGV tests.
You will be required to assess each student's skills and knowledge and plan customized lessons for them based on this research. At the end of the lessons, the student must be able to control the vehicle with confidence, understand road safety, know the driving law and Highway Code as well as know how to deal with emergencies and be able to check the vehicle for basic maintenance.
After you had had several years of experience as an instructor, you will be able to get further qualifications to become a specialist instructor. Sometimes, companies will hire or train one of their drivers to become a specialist instructor so that the training of other employees can take place on site.
There are plenty of opportunities to advance your career should you choose to become an HGV driver. By no means is this a dead end career, and you can earn plenty of money in each of the stages, while retaining control over the number of hours you work and with a flexible workday. Furthermore, with the advances in technology, this career is going to become more and more profitable as the years go on.

Cities may sue governor over his redevelopment proposal
By Patrick McGreevy

In show of strength, more than 100 mayors and city council members from throughout California came together Friday to protest Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to shutter their redevelopment agencies, calling it an illegal money grab and warning that they will sue the state if it is adopted.
Standing together with labor activists and business executives at the Sacramento Convention Center, the city leaders said they would vigorously oppose the governor's redevelopment proposal in the Legislature and, if necessary, in the courts.
'We would hate to have to take the state to court in order to uphold the will of the voters, but we will do it if we are forced to do it,' said Chris McKenzie, executive director of the League of California Cities.
Brown has proposed that redevelopment programs, which divert tax revenue from schools and other government coffers to pay for economic development projects, should be shut to free up $1.7 billion for basic services, including education and public safety. The proposal is part of his plan to reorganize government and close a $25-billion budget deficit.
But two days after Brown spoke to the city leaders and urged their cooperation, the mayors and council members said Friday that the governor needs to find another way of fixing the state's budget mess.
'It would prevent us from continuing to address the blighted communities, and these are focused on low-income areas,' said Riverside City Councilman Andy Melendrez.
Ridgecrest Vice Mayor Jerry Taylor said his city recently sold $24 million in bonds to pay for new redevelopment and has counted on it to significantly improve the isolated community.
Several city leaders said they generally like Brown, but it was clear that his proposal has struck a nerve, and some took a jab at him, pointing out that Brown had redevelopment funds at his disposal when he was mayor of Oakland.
'I don't think it's right to deprive the leaders of Oakland or any city the use of a tool that he [Brown] used in order to create jobs and create housing in Oakland,' McKenzie said.
The city leaders, who were already in Sacramento to attend a conference, said Brown's proposal is in conflict with the will of the voters, who in November approved Proposition 22, a ballot measure that sought to prevent the state from taking or borrowing local government funds, including redevelopment money. McKenzie, who is an attorney, contends that the proposal to shut the state's 398 redevelopment agencies also violates the state Constitution, which requires the tax increment money to be paid to redevelopment agencies to repay the public cost of redevelopment.
[Updated at 12:25 p.m.: Evan Westrup, a spokesman for the governor, said later Friday that the state had done a 'thorough legal review' of the redevelopment proposal before it was made.
'We are confident that the governor's budget proposal is legally sound,' Westrup said. 'Redevelopment agencies were created by an act of the Legislature, and they can be eliminated by an act of the Legislature. It's time for all of us, including local government leaders, to set aside narrow perspectives and turf wars and act as Californians first to address the state's budget deficit.']
