The Official History of New Zealand's Effort in the Great War is a four-volume 'Popular History' series which covered the New Zealand involvement in the First World War. Aimed at presenting the efforts of the New Zealand Military Forces during the war to the general public, the series was published during the period 1919 to 1923.
As early as 1915, it was recognised by the New Zealand Government that an official history would be produced to document the contributions of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) to the First World War. The official war correspondent, Malcolm Ross, was tasked with collecting the historical material that would be required. Ross, a trained journalist who had reported on the seizure of Samoa earlier in the war, had been on Gallipoli alongside Charles Bean, the Australian official war correspondent, and would also observe the New Zealand Division during the fighting on the Western Front.
After the war, when serious consideration was being given to the production of the official history, Lieutenant General Alexander Godley, the commander of the NZEF, believed that Ross would be the best person to produce the history. However, Major General Alfred Robin, the commandant of the New Zealand Military Forces, held firm views of what should be communicated by an official history. He dictated an educational approach, considering the target audience to be students of military history. Journalistic and writing skills were second to the ability to understand and communicate military tactics and strategy, the lessons of which were to be imparted at the direction of the Imperial General Staff at the War Office. Hence, rather than Ross, Lieutenant Colonel Hugh Stewart, who had commanded a battalion in the New Zealand Division during the war, was favoured by Robin to write the official history. It was recognised that an accessible 'Popular History', aimed at a more general readership would be appropriate alongside the official history. Endorsed by the Minister of Defence James Allen, the Government approved the writing of this 'Popular History'. The Government's decision to produce a 'Popular History' was formally announced in June 1918.
In response to a request by the New Zealand Military Forces' Base Records in Wellington for historical records, Major Fred Waite, who had served in the war with the NZEF, had produced a summary of the New Zealand involvement in the Gallipoli Campaign and Allen selected him to oversee the production of the 'Popular History' series. Originally envisaged as one volume, four were written, one each for the campaigns in Gallipoli, the Western Front and the Middle East, with a fourth volume on the smaller campaigns, contributions of the New Zealand Naval Forces and organisational aspects of the NZEF.
As well as co-ordinating the publication of the four volumes of the 'Popular History', Waite wrote the first volume, an account of the NZEF campaign in Gallipoli, Waite having served there with the New Zealand Engineers. He commenced writing in late 1918 and his book was published in 1919. It included a preface by Allen which introduced the 'Popular History' series as an alternative to the official history and retailed for six shillings.
Stewart, who had originally been considered to write the official history, was selected to write the history of the New Zealand Division, which served on the Western Front. Although reluctant to accept his commission, he began work in January 1919 and by that August had completed his first draft. His work, designated as the second volume of the 'Popular History', was published in 1922. At the time of its release, it was favourably reviewed in the Christchurch newspaper, The Press, particularly in respect to Waite's work.
A draft manuscript detailing the NZEF operations in the Middle East had been prepared by Major A. H. Wilkie, who had served with the Wellington Mounted Rifles in the Sinai and Palestine Campaigns but the draft was deemed unacceptable and Colonel Guy Powles revised it into a more accessible form. This was published in 1922.
Lieutenant H.T.B. Drew was the editor of the fourth volume, which covered the smaller campaigns in which New Zealand personnel were involved. There were chapters on the seizure of Samoa, the work of the New Zealand Naval Forces' HMS Philomel and the brief Senussi Campaign. There were also chapters on the New Zealand Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps, the work of New Zealand medical services, bases, finance and soldier education.
The volumes were published by Whitcombe and Tombs. Despite being a 'Popular History', each volume was subtitled as the "Official History of New Zealand's Effort in the Great War".
As the intended official history was not written, the 'Popular History' series remained the main source of information on the New Zealand contribution to the First World War for several years. Stewart's work, despite text which is described as "inaccessible and turgid" by recent historians, was for 75 years the main reference for the exploits of the New Zealand Division in the First World War as was Powles' work on the fighting in Sinai and Palestine. As early as the 1940s, when thoughts were turning to the official history of New Zealand's military in the Second World War, it was recognised that the 'Popular History' was an inadequate account of and tribute to the men who had served in the First World War.
An error in the first volume of the series led to a long-running under-estimate of the number of New Zealanders who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign. In his introduction to The New Zealanders at Gallipoli, Sir Ian Hamilton stated that 8,556 New Zealanders had served at Gallipoli. While this figure did not appear in the body of the book, which did not provide an alternative, it was frequently repeated by historians until the 1980s. A 2005 book by Richard Stowers included an estimate that the actual figure was 13,977. In 2013, David Green determined that Hamilton had calculated his figure from a mistaken interpretation of tables in The New Zealanders at Gallipoli. Research by New Zealand Government agencies published in 2016, found that the number of New Zealanders landed at Gallipoli was approximately 16,000.

There are different types of flooding which are caused by different weather and catchment conditions. You may be at risk of one or more of these types of floods - refer to flood types on this website.
Flooding is natural and cannot be stopped. Flooding can however, have both positive and negative impacts.
The positive impacts of flooding, for example, include water for wetland ecosystems and replenishing soil moisture and nutrients for agriculture.
The negative impacts of flooding can bring substantial damages to homes and businesses, critical infrastructure and to farming, such as agriculture and crops.
In the late 1990s, the average (direct) annual damage (AAD) cost of flooding across Victoria was estimated to be approximately $130 million based on riverine type flooding. Some ten years later, the estimated AAD, including all forms of flooding across Victoria (but excluding potential climate change impacts) is closer to $450 million. Geoscience Australia has further information about flood damages across Australia.
On the menu list aside, you can learn about flooding and find useful links for resources, students and teachers.

To grow revenues and profits in a downturn, first take a hard look at your expenses, including payroll, and make the cuts you can make right now. Next year is not going to be an easy year. But, then, remember, all great businesses go through trials and tribulations.
Identify revenue opportunities from current customers. Pull your team together and brainstorm ways to generate more business from your existing customer base—this is almost always the fastest way to generate revenue.
Identify future opportunities. Start with relatively recession-proof markets, ideally ones in which you already do business. Follow this up by identifying customers who still have money to spend in a recession, and create ideas for reaching out to these companies.
Get buy-in. Don't create a plan behind closed doors. Introduce it at a companywide meeting. By involving your people in your plan's creation, you will find they will support it.
Get your plan onto one page. You can fill your white board and flip chart with as many ideas as you like, but the end result of your strategy and planning needs to fit on one page of paper. You can't hold people accountable to a three-ring binder full of information. Done correctly, you can capture the vision, key results, timeframes, and measurements on one piece of paper.
Translate larger plans into departmental, team, and individual goals. Strategic planning can be a waste of time and money. It can discourage rather than encourage teams and individuals if grand visions are never reduced to doable plans and objectives. Help every department and team to see how to put the vision into action in their area of responsibility.
This means spending more time up front to identify the Key Results, measurements, and timeframes that each team is responsible to meet. This time will pay off many times over as you move into next year.
Provide accountability to keep people focused. The president of a sales organization could not figure out why his team's sales numbers were consistently better on Wednesdays. He racked his brain to figure out the reason, until someone pointed out to him that he held his sales meetings on Wednesday mornings. The meetings were part motivation and part reminder. They helped his sales people do what they were supposed to do. The president took the logical next step—he started holding a daily sales team meeting—and his numbers took off.
You don't have to hold daily meetings. You do, however, need to stick to an ongoing schedule of follow-up meetings that help to make sure that things get done well.
Create an environment in which team members hold one another accountable. Verne Harnish, author of Mastering the Rockefeller Habits, notes that team members will hold one another accountable for achieving results if they are truly committed to the goals which have been set. While this is not a substitute for leaders providing accountability, it is a powerful force for improving results in a difficult economy.
Create peer accountability in your group. Emphasize building trust and encouraging honesty within your team. If the individuals in your company are truly committed to your goals, they will not tolerate co-workers who are not pulling their weight.
Make sure to celebrate success. Jack Welch once said, "We don't celebrate success enough." Fear decapitates creativity; celebration and encouragement cause it to grow. Look for opportunities to reward strong performance and celebrate team wins. You don't have to spend a lot of money--your people will appreciate that they are a part of a team that knows how to win even in tough times.

A gas compressor has the job of taking low-pressure gas that flows from shallow, low-pressure reservoirs such as coal beds, then raising the pressure of such gas so that it can be injected into gas pipelines for transport and subsequent sale at a defined interconnect with the pipeline of a gas buyer.
While this two-pipeline junction point of sale enables the gas producer to obtain revenues for his produced gas, it is often the case that the buyer's gas pipe is moving gas at a higher pressure than the seller's gas. In such cases, it is the gas producer's responsibility to increase the pressure of his gas in order to inject it into the buyer's pipeline with its higher pressure regime.
In order to do this, the gas producer uses a skid-mounted, unitized natural gas compressor which essentially comes in three connected parts: 1) the gas-fueled reciprocating engine that drives the compressor; 2) the high-speed, reciprocating compressor that compresses the low pressure wellstream gas in various stages in its cylinders to higher desired pressures; 3) the intercooler that cools down the compressed gas in between each stage of compression, since the laws of physics are such that the gas undergoes the heat of compression as the gas molecules are crammed together within the confines of the reciprocating compressor cylinders.
For example, a "3-Stage" compressor can take low pressure gas at an intake pressure of, for example, 10 psig ("pounds per square inch gauge"). The first stage of that compressor can compress the gas safely to about 60 psig. This higher pressure gas must then go through an intercooler before it enters the second stage of compression. The second stage can take that 60 psig gas and compress it to about 195 psig, adjusting for pressure losses in the gas cooler. After intercooling, that gas will then go to the third stage for compression up to 610 psig, where it may be of high enough pressure such that it can successfully be measured and injected into the gas buyer's sale line.
The energy for this compression work in the above illustration has come from the burning of natural gas as fuel in the compressor engine (the first connected part described in the third paragraph above). This compressor engine is identical in design to a common automobile engine, with the exception that its combustion cylinders are much larger and the engine turns at only about 1,000 RPM, compared with an automobile engine that turns in a range between 2,000 RPM and 3,000 RPM under normal operating conditions. Otherwise, the compressor engine requires lube oil, anti-freeze and spark plugs just like the ordinary auto engine.
The working, or compression side of the compressor (the "frame") takes low pressure gas into large cylinders and compresses such gas with large, snug-fitting pistons inside the large cylinders. The compressor engine turns the gas compressor frame via a connected driveshaft, and both the frame and the engine have reciprocating pistons driven by crankshafts.
The fuel used by the compressor engine is taken from the wellstream gas being compressed and usually represents no more than 5% of the total gas being compressed. If natural gas prices are in a range of $8/MMBtu, then you can see that the "opportunity cost" of this fuel can be as high as $300/day while being burned in order to generate in excess of $5700/day in gas sale revenues.

Latin Music Youth Idol Maluma Joins ASCAP for Representation of Public Performances of His Songwriting Catalog
Pictured (l-r): ASCAP's Karl Avanzini, Maluma, ASCAP VP of Latin Membership Gabriela Gonzalez, attorney Felipe Carreño
NEW YORK, July 24, 2017 -- ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the world leader in performing rights and advocacy for music creators, announced today that Latin music youth idol Maluma has joined the Society for representation of public performances of his music catalog.
The twenty-three-year-old is one of the music industry's most important new voices. Born Juan Luis Londoño in Colombia, he formulated his artistic moniker Maluma from the first two letters of the names of his mother, father and sister.
Maluma's latest single, "Felices Los 4," just reached #1 on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart and only days after the introduction of a salsa version of the smash hit featuring music icon Marc Anthony, the tune occupies the #1 position in E.U. Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Paraguay. He released his latest album Pretty Boy Dirty Boy in 2015 under the Sony Music US Latin label which debuted at #1. In his first year and a half in the U.S. market, Maluma garnered five #1 songs on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart. He is the youngest artist to simultaneously hold both the #1 and #2 spots Billboard's Latin Airplay chart (with "Sin Contrato" and "Chantaje") and only the sixth act to ever achieve the feat. Maluma is one of social media's most popular artists with over 23 million Facebook fans, 4.2 million Twitter followers, and a whopping 26.8 million Instagram followers (making him the leading Latin male artist on Instagram). His official YouTube/VEVO channel has garnered over 5 billion views and has more than 10 million subscribers. With his Maluma World Tour he has achieved unparalleled success as an urban artist including selling out three consecutive nights at Argentina's Luna Park and three sold out concerts at Mexico City's Auditorio National. He is the only urban artist to sell out the Arena de Mexico.
"Maluma has a powerful and deep connection with his audience," said Gabriela González, ASCAP Vice President, Membership, US Latin and Latin America. "He has had an incredible start to his career, and we are excited to support him as he continues to grow as a songwriter and an artist."
"The team at ASCAP is a genuine family and I am proud to be part of an organization that is home to so many legendary songwriters and composers," said Maluma.

Ali Jannati has extended his heartfelt condolences on the untimely demise of Iranian pop singer Morteza Pasha'ie.
In a note appearing on his Facebook page on Sunday, Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Ali Jannati condoled with the Iranian nation on the untimely death of young, popular pop singer, Morteza Pasha'ie.
"I hereby condole with the entire elites, artists and fans of the popular singer of the Iranian nation Morteza Pasha'ie, especially with his revered family members, on his heart breaking demise and pray to Almighty Allah for the salvation of his soul and for granting patience and peace of mind to those who love him," reads the culture minister's note.
Iranian pop singer Pasha'ie died from acute stomach cancer on Friday morning at the age of 30 in a Tehran hospital.
His funeral procession began on Sunday afternoon in front of Tehran's Vahdat Concert Hall moving towards the city's Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery followed by a large crowd of his fans, some of whom were singing a number of his famous songs.
Due to the dense population of Pasha'ie's fans, his burial was delayed for a couple of hours till the police forces at the cemetery managed to somehow disperse the crowd.
It was earlier announced that the burial had been delayed to a later time.


"I asked five or six designers - very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people - and they all said no," she explained. She, of course, did end up finding a dress to wear to the ceremony, but it wasn't a custom gown from a designer. The gown came from Marina Rinaldi, a ready-to-wear line that's sold in department stores, as the Washington Post reported.
The Good American designer also noted that she still works with the same stylist that she worked with since the first season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" because she's always made her feel beautiful. "Other people actually said, 'I just can't work with you' - because I was too big," Kardashian added. "That always hurt my feelings, of course."

A quarter of NATO nuclear warheads in Turkey
A quarter of NATO nuclear warheads are currently sitting in storage at Incirlik air base, however are rendered useless without the advanced bombers needed to drop them
20 Ağustos 2016 Cumartesi 17:19
The United States has about 200 B61 bombs in and around Europe, with 50 currently in storage at the Incirlik air base in Turkey, according to Amy Woolf, a researcher for nuclear weapons policy for the U.S. Congressional Research Service.
According to Woolf, the American bombs in Turkey are mostly in storage. She noted that Turkey does not have aircraft designed to hold nuclear weapons. In addition, Turkey does not let the U.S. permanently deploy such aircraft to the base.The base was updated as recently as 2015, has two large fences, and is heavily guarded by US troops. Even if the facility was breached, the nukes themselves are 12 feet long and massively heavy and need to be dropped from an advanced bomber to be effective.
Currently, some of the airplanes that pass through the airbase could drop nuclear weapons. But those aircraft are involved in operations against suspected terrorist targets.
Woolf said that for NATO member countries, the weapons are there in case "the fundamental security of any of its members" was to be threatened and that any movement would suggest a loss of faith in a NATO partner.
U.S. defense policy expert Kori Schake told VOA that removing the nuclear arms from Turkey would send the wrong message to America's allies.
"Countries that feel protected by the U.S., [like] Japan, South Korea, Turkey, have not developed nuclear weapons of their own," Schake said. Without that guarantee, she says, "the risk is that they might develop nuclear weapons of their own."

Beauty Lineup: Treat Your Face with These Skincare Goodies!
Hi, beauty lovers! I'm back at it again with another lineup of some skincare products I've been enjoying. Since the new year, I've been more open to trying out out different brands, including those that are unfamiliar to me as well as newer / "indie" brands. Being a small business owner myself (as a calligrapher), I find it super important to support small batch, up and coming, and local brands and businesses. If you're into checking out some new and innovative skincare brands or looking for something to pamper your skin with, keep on scrolling!
First off, how pretty is this packaging? I love how the dusty pink powder sits in the glass jar. If you have dry to normal skin (like myself), then I totally suggest checking out this clay mask, formulated with rose petal, banana, coconut milk, and honey powders. I use this product on nights when I'm not as lazy and want to pamper a bit! I gradually add water to a bit of powder until a paste-like texture is formed, smear it on my face after cleansing, and wash it off with warm water after it hardens. 100% natural and 100% recommend!
Just a little something I keep under my pillow. I can't sleep knowing (and feeling like) my lips are dehydrated, and sticking a lip balm under my pillow is one less step for me to get out of bed. My lips feel nourished and moisturized after using this product (thanks to the shea butter, beeswax, and oil ingredients)!
I had the pleasure of checking out products from Mantra Mask, the makers of these sheet masks that are formulated with only natural sourced ingredients. These masks are designed for specific skin issues (such as dehydrated skin, acne-prone skin, etc.) so there is no doubt that you will find the right one for your skin type. Out of these three masks, I find that my skin type is most suitable for the Restore & Hydrate mask (because of my dry skin, especially in the winter) and the Repair & Renew mask (from living in NYC with all the air pollution). The Calm & Clarify mask is perfect for my boyfriend, who has acne-prone and oily skin. These masks are easy to use, formulated with all-natural premium ingredients, and my skin felt hydrated and supple after use!
I've been more open to using facial oils as of late, and I've been loving this one from Back to Basics Skincare. After using this Rose Hip Radiance Oil, I definitely see (and feel) a difference in the texture of my skin, a more natural glow, and brighter-looking skin!
Most of these products are 100% natural, and I totally recommend checking them out. Thanks for tuning in this week!

Marko Župančič [márko župánčič], slovenski arhitekt, urbanist, opremljevalec knjig in fotograf, * 1. september 1914, Ljubljana, † 24. april 2007, Ljubljana.

Življenje in delo

Župančič se je jeseni 1933 vpisal na Oddelek za arhitekturo Tehniške fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani. Diplomiral je pri profesorju Jožetu Plečniku leta 1938 s projektom filharmonije v Ljubljani z oceno prav dobro (7.5). Bil je dober arhitekt, urbanist, opremljevalec knjig, pisec člankov in navdušen fotograf.

Arhitekt Marko Župančič je bil v Parizu pri Le Corbusierju in Pierru Jeanneretu od dne 1. decembra 1939 do 31. maja 1940, torej šest mesecev. Župančič mi je povedal, da je v času izpopolnjevanja v Franciji stanoval v Maison de Provance v Cité Universitaire na jugu Pariza, v registru Inženirske komore Dravske banovine pa je navedeno obdobje njegovega izpopolnjevanja. Njegova hči Alenka ve, da je bil njen oče v času študijskega izpopolnjevanja štipendist francoske vlade. Dne 1. septembra 1939, torej dva meseca pred Župančičevim prihodom v Pariz, so Nemci napadli Poljsko, zato ne preseneča, da je Župančič pri Le Corbusierju risal načrte za vojaške ali z vojno povezane objekte. V črni knjigi ateljeja je Župančič vpisan 22 krat, prvič je vpisan dne 6. decembra 1939, nazadnje pa dne 4. maja 1940. Krunić je ob prvem povratku iz Pariza v Ljubljano, torej februarja 1939, verjetno navdušil tudi Župančiča za pot v Pariz in delo pri Le Corbusierju. Arhitekt Marko Župančič je vpisan v črno knjigo največkrat od Plečnikovih študentov, ki so delali v ateljeju pri Le Corbusieru in Pierru Jeanneretu. Prvi projekt z dne 6. decembra nosi oznako 3575 in se imenuje stanovanje (), sledi vaški klub (fr. Club village) z oznako 3578 datiran 12. decembra 1939. Župančiču lahko pripišemo tudi naslednji vpis (fr. Pavillon de dessin) istega datuma, ki pa ni podpisan in nosi oznako 3580. Sledijo vpisi z oznakami 3581, 3582, 3584, 3585, 3593, 3597, 3600 in verjetno tudi nepodpisani 3601 do 3602, pa podpisani 3605, 3606, 3609, ki je datiran z dne 14. februarja 1940. Potem se Župančič skoraj mesec dni ni vpisal v knjigo tako da je naslednji vpis šele 3. aprila z oznako 3640 in opisom HAMON Baraquement. Sledijo vpisi z oznako HAM za številko 3641, 3644 do 3646, 3647, 3650 do 3653, ki je bil podpisan dne 4. maja 1940, kar je tudi zadnji Župančičev vpis v črno knjigo.

Župančič je ravno tako, kot večina Plečnikovih študentov, ki so delali pri Le Corbusierju vsestranski ustvarjalec. Nadarjen in brez napake v svojem opusu. V arhitekturnem snovanju predstavlja njegov vrh najprej Klub poslancev iz leta 1946/47 v Ljubljani. Žal so njegov Klub poslancev na križišču Puharjeve in Prešernove ceste, na katerem je bilo med drugimi odlikami stavbe mogoče občudovati kamnita, strukturirana pročelja, porušili leta 1991 zaradi gradnje novega krila Narodne galerije. Župančičev Klub poslancev je bilo mogoče primerjati tudi z Ravnikarjevo Moderno galerijo, ki je bila začeta prej in dokončana nekaj let po dograditvi kluba. Drugi vrh predstavlja Delavski dom v Trbovljah iz leta 1956, ki ga je zasnoval v sodelovanju z arhitektom Otonom Gasparijem in slikarjem Marijem Pregljem. Motiv valujoče stene v strogem okviru ponovi v trboveljskem Delavskem domu v nekoliko drugačni vsebini in obliki kot na načrtu zidanice za pesnika (Marko Župančič je bil sin pesnika Otona Župančiča), ki ga je snoval pri Plečniku. Leta 1951 je Župančič skupaj z Nikom Bežkom, Brankom Simčičem načrtoval regulacijski načrt v okviru Urada za regulacijo Ljubljane.

Župančič je napisal recenzijo knjige Le Corbusier Le Modulor v reviji Arhitekt (I, 1951, 56-57), ob smrti Le Corbusierja leta 1965 je skupaj s še živečimi slovenskimi učenci, ki so delali pri Le Corbusierju napisal nekrolog v revijo Sinteza (3, 1965, 64), leta 1994 pa v časnik Slovenec v sklopu podlistka Plečnikovi učenci se spominjajo svojo refleksijo. Župančič se je udeležil številnih natečajev, dobil nekaj nagrad in odkupov. Po njegovih načrtih je bilo zgrajenih več stanovanjskih blokov, industrijskih stavb, šol, spomenikov, med katerimi izstopa spomenik na Gričku pri Črnomlju, po njegovih načrtih so nastali objekti za ljubljanski živalski vrt in institut za patološko fiziologijo v Ljubljani ter še kaj. Najbolj sistematičen in celovit pa je njegov delež pri arhitekturi Trbovelj. Pediatrična bolnišnica, okrogli blok, tribuna na stadionu, stanovanjski bloki in še kaj, so poleg že omenjenega Delavskega doma nastajali po njegovih načrtih. Njegov modernistični opus, ki je nastajal v obdobju povojne obnove in po njem je poln prostorsko in simbolno označujočih domislic tako v detajlih kot strukturah.

If the work is connecting with the audience, is creating the type of behavior we desire and is differentiating in the category (and industry), why would it not live past research? His response: 'people like what they've seen before, safe, easy to accept and non-confrontational.' In short – work that's good, yet comfortable.
I didn't get in to advertising to do comfortable work.
The story I told him about another campaign is 100% true. I will leave out the names of the players – but I swear this is exactly how this played out.
The year was 2001. I was working on a large national business. We tested three campaigns all over the nation. Qual. Quant. Big cities. Small cities. I presented storyboards, animatics and scripts. After the research was over, it was clear there were two campaigns that could be produced and would do well in the marketplace. But with all research, there had to be one winner.
The research company recommended campaign A. The reasons were simple; people really liked it. It was consistently at the top in rank order of the campaigns. It was fun, easy to remember and said great things about the company and product. People felt it was 'confident' and 'gutsy.' Exactly what you want a campaign to be. As an agency, we did our homework and knew that we could create endless executions and that it would work across all audiences.
But campaign B also had good points. People couldn't get it out of their head. It was sticky. Some people loved it. Some people hated it. But everyone remembered it. And the best part about it, people wanted to see more executions. But it also had some issues. People said that it only worked with a lot of executions. They would get tired of the individual executions quickly – which meant it would be costly to produce and maintain.
So the research company's vote was solidly behind campaign A.
Where it got tricky was that the CMO and I both believed in campaign B. It was a bigger idea. I could be rolled out for years. And the best part, it differentiated the company from its competition better than campaign A.
So when we brought both campaigns to the CEO of the company, we recommended campaign B – even though the research said to produce the other work.
Campaign B ran for over 10 years. We produced over 100 TV commercials, print, out-of-home, events and radio. The tagline is engraved in bronze on the Advertising Walk of Fame on Madison Avenue in New York City. It won countless awards. But most importantly, it proved to me that they only way to get to great – is not to settle for good.
Even when the data says that good is good enough.

Successtories placeholder 2
Dr. Pauline Jones
in Patient success stories, Patient success stories archive
Physician, Heal Thyself
"I had recently returned from a biking holiday to the Spanish Moto Grand Prix and I was re-taking my advanced motorcycle test," recalled Dr. Jones. "As I approached a bend at the end of the run with the examiner following, my Honda Hornet went from under me and I collided with an oncoming car."
In that split second, her years of planning for a retirement enjoying whole winters skiing in the Alps would be thrown into doubt, along with her passion for high energy sports like sailing and triathlons. Dr. Jones' right leg was broken in four places below and in one place above the knee.
"I dare not yet picture myself doing all the things I used to, but just to feel confident in my leg again is an enormous boost."
She was rushed to Royal United Hospital in Bath, then transferred three days later to the specialist unit at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol. After an exploratory operation, Dr. Jones spent 12 hours on the operating table with orthopaedic and plastic surgeons working side by side on the injuries to her lower leg. Following surgery, she was admitted to Bristol Royal Infirmary to be fitted with an external fixator frame, which needs daily adjustment.
Six months with a leg in the frame is a challenge for anyone. However, the long-term problem for Dr. Jones lay above the knee in her thigh bone (femur), which had been shattered in the accident and had lost 7 cm of its length at the point of the fracture. The femur had been stabilised by the fixing of a steel plate to the bone during the first surgery. But a plan for its permanent healing had to wait until the treatment to her lower leg was well underway.
Three months after the accident, Dr. Jones underwent her third operation, this time to graft bone from her pelvis into her femur. Then 15 months after the accident, the plate that had been attached to her bone was bending and had to be removed. Throughout this time, Dr. Jones was on two crutches and managing daily pain, combined with a steady stream of appointments for X-rays and outpatient clinics.
"You are used to having a lot to do, so suddenly not having that pressure affects you. Even now, I'm not 100% sure of the sequence of events, months seemed to go by," said Dr. Jones. "Although I was eventually able to put a little weight on the leg, every day was a struggle. I became quite good at hopping about the house on one crutch after a while but you and your family are living with the constant fear that you will hurt yourself".
Almost three years after her accident, things began to progress rapidly when she was referred to Professor Roger Atkins. Professor Atkins is a specialist in treating patients who have completely lost sections of bone in so-called high-energy fractures, where the bone has been reduced in part to fragments that need to be removed surgically.
He lengthened her femur by operating on the bone above the fracture to insert a telescopic rod into the bone that was then gradually extended by performing knee movements. The bone naturally fills the gap created, restoring it to its natural length.
Alongside the bone lengthening procedure, Professor Atkins prescribed an EXOGEN device to speed up the repair of the fracture itself.
Several months later, X-rays indicated that her femur was finally healing. Said Dr. Jones, "The evidence of the latest X-rays is very encouraging after all this time, and although I have just had an operation to relieve some pain caused by the telescopic rod, I was already walking with confidence and I had got back into the gym, which was a big moment".
Both Dr Jones and Professor Atkins were hopeful that her next consultation would be her last, marking the end of a four-year journey that began with a mystery unlikely ever to be solved. "I dare not yet picture myself doing all the things I used to, but just to feel confident in my leg again is an enormous boost".
Michael Todd
The Biker Who Wouldn't Take No For An Answer
Motocross fanatic Michael Todd from Shropshire was out doing what he loved best when his life changed – on the bike he had bought by saving up birthday money and rebuilt using his skills as a welder. Rounding a corner on a country track he collided head-on with a friend. Despite wearing full protection, Michael's leg was shattered, with his shin bone (tibia) comprehensively fractured in several places. Amazingly, his friend was completely unharmed.
Immediately after the accident Michael managed to calmly call his mother on his mobile before the pain set in; "I just sort of sat there chatting to my mum. I was more upset about whether I could fix my bike, everyone else seemed to be the ones panicking", he said.
"I couldn't believe it, it was exactly what I hoped I would see and I was happy and upset at the same time; I could have had this months ago and I'd had lost all that time, I'd lost my job and everything else."
He was rushed to the Princess Royal Hospital in Wellington where he underwent emergency surgery, requiring metal implants to stabilise the bone. He was discharged after a week, and tried to adjust to his situation while waiting for the healing to begin. Recalled Michael, "It was horrible, I couldn't even see my friends in the next street. I was bed-ridden and taking all kinds of painkillers."
As weeks became months and his X-rays revealed no sign of healing, Michael admits he felt angry at what he considered was a too-relaxed attitude from his hospital. "It just seemed to be 'oh well, make another appointment and we'll see' but I was the one going up the wall", he said.
Michael's friends encouraged him to see another surgeon at Shrewsbury Infirmary, who told him about the EXOGEN ultrasound device—which has been shown to have the same success rate as surgery with no known risk to the patient of complications, provided the bones are well aligned and firmly fixed.
"Suddenly here was someone saying they thought they had an answer and your hopes are lifted", said Michael. "I was very emotional, it was the first time in over a year that someone had said to me that there might be a way out. All I'd had was one knock-back after another and there were times when I thought I might lose my leg, plus the daily grind of living with the pain and worry."
Although EXOGEN cost less than an operation, Michael's surgeon had to make a special case to the local Primary Care Trust for buying an EXOGEN device.
Three months after he began using the device, an X-ray of his tibia showed what Michael describes as "like candy floss in the gaps where the bone was broken, sort of fuzzy areas." What he was looking at was new bone growth, the first since the accident nearly 16 months earlier.
He doesn't mind admitting that he burst into tears at the sight. "I couldn't believe it, it was exactly what I hoped I would see and I was happy and upset at the same time; I could have had this months ago and I'd had lost all that time, I'd lost my job and everything else".
Mandy Gibbons
Healing The Finger That Would Not Fuse
Retired teacher Mandy Gibbons was only 11 years old when it happened: she was helping her mother do laundry, running clothes through an electric mangle, and both her hands got caught in the machine. Before her mother could get to her, all eight fingers were broken. But her fractures were successfully treated and her fingers caused her no problems during the rest of her childhood and young adult life. Mandy went on to become a teacher working with children who were multisensory impaired. She used hand "signing" to communicate with the children, and with children who were both deaf and blind, applied pressure on the hands of the child to convey meaning. The trauma of her early accident faded in her memory.
"I am very, very thrilled as it worked so quickly and saved me having to have another op. Importantly, I felt a great sense of empowerment in being able to manage my recovery. I can't thank my consultant and EXOGEN enough."
But as the years passed, Mandy began to have extreme pain in her finger joints, as well as localised swelling in the finger joints spreading into the palm of her hand, and some clawing of both hands and fingers. Mandy consulted her GP, who referred her to the orthopaedic specialist at her local hospital in Chesterfield. X-rays showed her finger joints had become arthritic. The surgeon prescribed cortisone injections to reduce the swelling and ease the pain.
It was soon clear that injections alone were not a cure. Mandy began a series of operations, first on tendons in her wrist, then on the bones in her fingers to fuse the joints. The operations, spread over three or four years, were successful; with each one her pain decreased and her hand function improved.
Then a problem developed in her index finger. During an operation in May 2010, the bone fractured and had to be repaired with a metal plate. By this time Mandy was used to the normal healing process, so she could immediately tell that this joint was not healing. Scans and X-rays confirmed that fusion of the bone had not occurred, despite a metal plate with 4 fixing screws and immobilisation of the hand.
Mandy was extremely reluctant to undergo more surgery, so her consultant team suggested trying EXOGEN. Said Mandy, "Neither I nor my surgeon wanted to do the bone graft from my hip, but we were running out of options, so the thought of a device that avoided an operation and which I could use at home sounded too good to be true". Mandy started to use the EXOGEN device in August 2010.
By early October 2010, X-rays revealed that the bone was completely healed. Said Mandy, "Almost immediately I got the feeling back and warmth back in my finger and the nail began to regrow. Within a few days the finger simply began to feel more comfortable and less inflamed. I am very, very thrilled as it worked so quickly and saved me having to have another op. Importantly, I felt a great sense of empowerment in being able to manage my recovery. I can't thank my consultant and EXOGEN enough."
Although she is now retired, the treatment to her hands has enabled her to sign again.

Phnom Penh Post - Punk heroes
Punk heroes

The name might unfamiliar to some, to say nothing of the music they are playing. "They called us crazy for playing punk rock music," says 22-year-old Propey, the lead singer and guitarist of The Anti-Fate.
Jumping up and down with that slender build typical of young Cambodian men, Propey's onstage presence electrifies the performance in a way that only punk rock can.
The band began in early 2011, with the four punk devotees finding each other over Facebook, in a closed group called 'Cambo Headbangers', a base for likeminded fans of what remains, in this country, relatively obscure music.
The band members clicked right away and soon they started rehearsing together. They share many things in common – not only their passion for music, but also having experienced similar urges to give up their musical dreams.
"We were so discouraged," Propey recalls. "Our friends and family had not the foggiest idea about the music we played. When we were on our own, we totally abandoned our dream. Later, when I met the others, we fought to get back our confidence."
With many Cambodian ears are accustomed to the likes of K-Pop, hip-hop and other staples of the region, punk rock is something bizarre to them. All the same, The Anti-Fate does not see that as a big barrier to their future success.
"We don't care about that. You see, we can't satisfy everyone. We look at the bigger picture –that it's a now or never situation to give birth to punk rock music in Cambodia."
Even if their style eschews popular tastes, it hasn't stopped them from attracting the interest of promoters and record labels, although the band has been wary of their entreaties.
"There used to be a company asking us to cooperate with them," says Dominex, the band's other guitarist. "But we never felt right working with them. We want to be our own boss."
The Anti-Fate's first album is set to be released by the end of 2012, a collection of their existing works and live favourites sung in English, accompanied by new songs written in Khmer on the back of popular demand from their fans.
Introducing punk rock in this society will not engender an overnight sensation, going so far against the grain as it does. The band claims not to perform for money or acclaim, instead content to be the first local punk band in Cambodia.
Propey is philosophical on the band's chances for success: "For better or worse, at least we set a starting point for the next generation."
The Anti-Fate will play at Equinox on Saturday September 15, Saturday the 22nd at Sihanoukville's Led Zephyr bar, and Saturday the 29th at Sharky's Battle of the Bands.

I am confused if I need to use choicefield or an ajax function.
someone can bring me some snippet or a link where I can have a more clear process to implement this functionality
Thanks in advance

A: Here, {{ cell }}	 is where data is being used for displaying data. If you want to do a ajax request here, you have to do it in cell section. For example:
{% for column, cell in row.items %}
{% if column|stringformat:"s" == "some-string" %}

{{ cell }}

{% else %}
{{ cell }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

With the large number of cases performed by our surgeons, we are able to offer implants at costs that are comparable to bridges. They can be as low as $1500 per implant. Please remember that this does not include the abutment and crown that your dentist will be placing.
Sometimes. The two factors that determine that this can be performed in a predictable manner is (1) anatomy and (2) amount of available bone. After all pre surgical planning is completed, your surgeon will inform you whether you are a candidate for this option.
For implants in the lower jaw, there is the inherent risk of lip and chin numbness. For implants in the upper jaw, there is the risk of exposure into the sinus. Our surgeons have the experience and capabilities of high tech diagnostic planning to dramatically decrease the risk of these complications.
Do implants work? Is there a guarantee that they work?
All implants are foreign bodies. Therefore, there is always a chance for failure. In our experience of over one thousand of implants, failure rate is 1 in 20 (5%). If a failure were to occur, the implants are fully guaranteed and will be replaced at no cost to you.
For patients with severe anxiety for any dental procedures, we do offer the option of being asleep for the procedure. It is very safe, pleasant and stress-free form of anesthesia that is recommended for implant surgery, but not required. The other option is to numb the area with Novocaine, much like a regular visit at the dentist.
No special care is needed, but they do need to be brushed and flossed regularly and professionally maintained at scheduled intervals at your dentist.
There are very few patients that are poor implant candidates, and it is due to unfavorable anatomy. Most people can have missing teeth replaced with implants, but some will require bone and soft tissue grafting prior to the implants to achieve optimum results. Your surgeon should be able to predictably determine your prognosis and risks at your consultation visit.
If I'm having a front tooth replaced with an implant, will I have to be toothless during the healing period?
No. If you are replacing a front tooth with an implant, there will be some form of temporary, removable replacement while the implant heals. This healing period can take up to 4-6 months, but during that time, your dentist will fabricate a device that will replace the missing tooth with a temporary partial denture, retainer or splint. This device will be placed at the time of implant surgery.

What is Enlightenment?
A Theosophical Text By One
Of The Greatest Western Philosophers
Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804)
Editorial Note:
Theosophy sees an Eastern root and origin in most Western philosophical systems. In "The Secret Doctrine", Helena P. Blavatsky wrote:
"It is difficult to find a single speculation in Western metaphysics which has not been anticipated by Archaic Eastern philosophy. From Kant to Herbert Spencer, it is all a more or less distorted echo of the Dwaita, Adwaita, and Vedantic doctrines generally." [1]
For thousands of years, Eastern sages have had various ways of influencing Western thought, and as to modern Theosophy specifically, H.P.Blavatsky wrote in a private letter in the 1880s, from the German city of Würzbug:
"I like Würzburg. It is near Heidelberg and Nürenberg, and all the centres one of the Masters lived in, and it is He who advised my Master to send me there." [2]
As to the Master she mentioned, one finds these words in a Letter written by him:
"We, who have studied a little Kant's moral teachings, analyzed them somewhat carefully .... "[3]
In "The Secret Doctrine", H.P.B. wrote:
"The greatest philosopher of European birth, Immanuel Kant ...." [4]
Indeed, the philosophy of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) has a deep theosophical interest. In several aspects Kant anticipated - along with other thinkers, among them d'Holbach - the modern theosophical movement. Kant was one of the greatest philosophers of the European Enlightenment in the late 18th century, and his books are still important to study in the 21st century. His essay on "Perpetual Peace" is a brilliant and prophetical vision. Written more than 200 years ago in 1795, it seems to point to the future of the present-day United Nations system. The U.N. system is already founded on some of the basic concepts established by Kant in his "Perpetual Peace", but it will have to evolve further to live up to Kant's vision.
In the following text, while writing about Enlightenment and defending reason against dogmatism and blind belief, Kant stands for some of the essential aspects of the authentic theosophy, including its very motto. See for instance the first paragraph, and our note to it.
An Answer to the Question:
What is Enlightenment? (1784)
Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without guidance from another. Sapere Aude! [dare to know] "Have courage to use your own understanding!"- that is the motto of enlightenment. [5]
Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a proportion of men, long after nature has released them from alien guidance (natura-liter maiorennes) ["those who have come of age by virtue of nature"], nonetheless gladly remain in lifelong immaturity, and why it is so easy for others to establish themselves as their guardians. It is so easy to be immature. If I have a book to serve as my understanding, a pastor to serve as my conscience, a physician to determine my diet for me, and so on, I need not exert myself at all. I need not think, if only I can pay: others will readily undertake the irksome work for me. The guardians who have so benevolently taken over the supervision of men have carefully seen to it that the far greatest part of them (including the entire fair sex) regard taking the step to maturity as very dangerous, not to mention difficult. Having first made their domestic livestock dumb, and having carefully made sure that these docile creatures will not take a single step without the go-cart to which they are harnessed, these guardians then show them the danger that threatens them, should they attempt to walk alone. Now this danger is not actually so great, for after falling a few times they would in the end certainly learn to walk; but an example of this kind makes men timid and usually frightens them out of all further attempts.
Thus, it is difficult for any individual man to work himself out of the immaturity that has all but become his nature. He has even become fond of this state and for the time being is actually incapable of using his own understanding, for no one has ever allowed him to attempt it. Rules and formulas, those mechanical aids to the rational use, or rather misuse, of his natural gifts, are the shackles of a permanent immaturity. Whoever threw them off would still make only an uncertain leap over the smallest ditch, since he is unaccustomed to this kind of free movement. Consequently, only a few have succeeded, by cultivating their own minds, in freeing themselves from immaturity and pursuing a secure course.
But that the public should enlighten itself is more likely; indeed, if it is only allowed freedom, enlightenment is almost inevitable. For even among the entrenched guardians of the great masses a few will always think for themselves, a few who, after having themselves thrown off the yoke of immaturity, will spread the spirit of a rational appreciation for both their own worth and for each person's calling to think for himself. But it should be particularly noted that if a public that was first placed in this yoke by the guardians is suitably aroused by some of those who are altogether incapable of enlightenment, it may force the guardians themselves to remain under the yoke - so pernicious is it to instill prejudices, for they finally take revenge upon their originators, or on their descendants. Thus a public can only attain enlightenment slowly. Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking; instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass. [6]
Nothing is required for this enlightenment, however, except freedom; and the freedom in question is the least harmful of all, namely, the freedom to use reason publicly in all matters. But on all sides I hear: "Do not argue!" The officer says, "Do not argue, drill!" The tax man says, "Do not argue, pay!" The pastor says, "Do not argue, believe!" (Only one ruler in the World says, "Argue as much as you want and about what you want, but obey!") In this we have examples of pervasive restrictions on freedom. But which restriction hinders enlightenment and which does not, but instead actually advances it? I reply: The public use of one's reason must always be free, and it alone can bring about enlightenment among mankind; the private use of reason may, however, often be very narrowly restricted, without otherwise hindering the progress of enlightenment. By the public use of one's own reason I understand the use that anyone as a scholar makes of reason before the entire literate world. I call the private use of reason that which a person may make in a civic post or office that has been entrusted to him. Now in many affairs conducted in the interests of a community, a certain mechanism is required by means of which some of its members must conduct themselves in an entirely passive manner so that through an artificial unanimity the government may guide them toward public ends, or at least prevent them from destroying such ends. Here one certainly must not argue, instead one must obey. However, insofar as this part of the machine also regards himself as a member of the community as a whole, or even of the world community, and as a consequence addresses the public in the role of a scholar, in the proper sense of that term, he can most certainly argue, without thereby harming the affairs for which as a passive member he is partly responsible. Thus it would be disastrous if an officer on duty who was given a command by his superior were to question the appropriateness or utility of the order. He must obey. But as a scholar he cannot be justly constrained from making comments about errors in military service, or from placing them before the public for its judgment. The citizen cannot refuse to pay the taxes imposed on him; indeed, impertinent criticism of such levies, when they should be paid by him, can be punished as a scandal (since it can lead to widespread insubordination). But the same person does not act contrary to civic duty when, as a scholar, he publicly expresses his thoughts regarding the impropriety or even injustice of such taxes. Likewise a pastor is bound to instruct his catecumens and congregation in accordance with the symbol of the church he serves, for he was appointed on that condition. But as a scholar he has complete freedom, indeed even the calling, to impart to the public all of his carefully considered and well-intentioned thoughts concerning mistaken aspects of that symbol, as well as his suggestions for the better arrangement of religious and church matters. Nothing in this can weigh on his conscience. What he teaches in consequence of his office as a servant of the church he sets out as something with regard to which he has no discretion to teach in accord with his own lights; rather, he offers it under the direction and in the name of another. He will say, "Our church teaches this or that and these are the demonstrations it uses." He thereby extracts for his congregation all practical uses from precepts to which he would not himself subscribe with complete conviction, but whose presentation he can nonetheless undertake, since it is not entirely impossible that truth lies hidden in them, and, in any case, nothing contrary to the very nature of religion is to be found in them. If he believed he could find anything of the latter sort in them, he could not in good conscience serve in his position; he would have to resign. Thus an appointed teacher's use of his reason for the sake of his congregation is merely private, because, however large the congregation is, this use is always only domestic; in this regard, as a priest, he is not free and cannot be such because he is acting under instructions from someone else. By contrast, the cleric - as a scholar who speaks through his writings to the public as such, i.e., the world -enjoys in this public use of reason an unrestricted freedom to use his own rational capacities and to speak his own mind. For that the (spiritual) guardians of a people should themselves be immature is an absurdity that would insure the perpetuation of absurdities.
But would a society of pastors, perhaps a church assembly or venerable presbytery (as those among the Dutch call themselves), not be justified in binding itself by oath to a certain unalterable symbol in order to secure a constant guardianship over each of its members and through them over the people, and this for all time: I say that this is wholly impossible. Such a contract, whose intention is to preclude forever all further enlightenment of the human race, is absolutely null and void, even if it should be ratified by the supreme power, by parliaments, and by the most solemn peace treaties. One age cannot bind itself, and thus conspire, to place a succeeding one in a condition whereby it would be impossible for the later age to expand its knowledge (particularly where it is so very important), to rid itself of errors, and generally to increase its enlightenment. That would be a crime against human nature, whose essential destiny lies precisely in such progress; subsequent generations are thus completely justified in dismissing such agreements as unauthorized and criminal. The criterion of everything that can be agreed upon as a law by a people lies in this question:
Can a people impose such a law on itself?
Now it might be possible, in anticipation of a better state of affairs, to introduce a provisional order for a specific, short time, all the while giving all citizens, especially clergy, in their role as scholars, the freedom to comment publicly, i.e., in writing, on the present institution's shortcomings. The provisional order might last until insight into the nature of these matters had become so widespread and obvious that the combined (if not unanimous) voices of the populace could propose to the crown that it take under its protection those congregations that, in accord with their newly gained insight, had organized themselves under altered religious institutions, but without interfering with those wishing to allow matters to remain as before. However, it is absolutely forbidden that they unite into a religious organization that nobody may for the duration of a man's lifetime publicly question, for so doing would deny, render fruitless, and make detrimental to succeeding generations an era in man's progress toward improvement. A man may put off enlightenment with regard to what he ought to know, though only for a short time and for his own person; but to renounce it for himself, or, even more, for subsequent generations, is to violate and trample man's divine rights underfoot. And what a people may not decree for itself may still less be imposed on it by a monarch, for his lawgiving authority rests on his unification of the people's collective will in his own. If he only sees to it that all genuine or purported improvement is consonant with civil order, he can allow his subjects to do what they find necessary to their spiritual well-being, which is not his affair. However, he must prevent anyone from forcibly interfering with another's working as best he can to determine and promote his well-being. It detracts from his own majesty when he interferes in these matters, since the writings in which his subjects attempt to clarify their insights lend value to his conception of governance. This holds whether he acts from his own highest insight - whereby he calls upon himself the reproach, "Caesar non eat supra grammaticos" ["Caesar is not above the grammarians"] - as well as, indeed even more, when he despoils his highest authority by supporting the spiritual despotism of some tyrants in his state over his other subjects.
If it is now asked, "Do we presently live in an enlightened age?" the answer is, "No, but we do live in an age of enlightenment." As matters now stand, a great deal is still lacking in order for men as a whole to be, or even to put themselves into a position to be able without external guidance to apply understanding confidently to religious issues. But we do have clear indications that the way is now being opened for men to proceed freely in this direction and that the obstacles to general enlightenment - to their release from their self-imposed immaturity - are gradually diminishing. In this regard, this age is the age of enlightenment, the century of Frederick.[7]
A prince who does not find it beneath him to say that he takes it to be his duty to prescribe nothing, but rather to allow men complete freedom in religious matters - who thereby renounces the arrogant title of tolerance - is himself enlightened and deserves to be praised by a grateful present and by posterity as the first, at least where the government is concerned, to release the human race from immaturity and to leave everyone free to use his own reason in all matters of conscience. Under his rule, venerable pastors, in their role as scholars and without prejudice to their official duties, may freely and openly set out for the world's scrutiny their judgments and views, even where these occasionally differ from the accepted symbol. Still greater freedom is afforded to those who are not restricted by an official post. This spirit of freedom is expanding even where it must struggle against the external obstacles of governments that misunderstand their own function. Such governments are illuminated by the example that the existence of freedom need not give cause for the least concern regarding public order and harmony in the commonwealth. If only they refrain from inventing artifices to keep themselves in it, men will gradually raise themselves from barbarism.
I have focused on religious matters in setting out my main point concerning enlightenment, i.e., man's emergence from self-imposed immaturity, first because our rulers have no interest in assuming the role of their subjects' guardians with respect to the arts and sciences, and secondly because that form of immaturity is both the most pernicious and disgraceful of all. But the manner of thinking of a head of state who favors religious enlightenment goes even further, for he realizes that there is no danger to his legislation in allowing his subjects to use reason publicly and to set before the world their thoughts concerning better formulations of his laws, even if this involves frank criticism of legislation currently in effect. We have before us a shining example, with respect to which no monarch surpasses the one whom we honor.
But only a ruler who is himself enlightened and has no dread of shadows, yet who likewise has a well-disciplined, numerous army to guarantee public peace, can say what no republic may dare, namely: "Argue as much as you want and about what you want, but obey!" Here as elsewhere, when things are considered in broad perspective, a strange, unexpected pattern in human affairs reveals itself, one in which almost everything is paradoxical. A greater degree of civil freedom seems advantageous to a people's spiritual freedom; yet the former established impassable boundaries for the latter; conversely, a lesser degree of civil freedom provides enough room for all fully to expand their abilities. Thus, once nature has removed the hard shell from this kernel for which she has most fondly cared, namely, the inclination to and vocation for free thinking, the kernel gradually reacts on a people's mentality (whereby they become increasingly able to act freely), and it finally even influences the principles of government, which finds that it can profit by treating men, who are now more than machines, in accord with their dignity.

Die Seckach ist ein kleiner Fluss im Norden Baden-Württembergs, der im Odenwald entspringt und nach etwa südlichem Lauf in Möckmühl im Landkreis Heilbronn von rechts und Norden in die untere Jagst mündet.

Die Seckach ist etwa 29 km lang, ihr Einzugsgebiet umfasst etwas über 260 km². Davon entfallen auf ihren Nebenfluss Kirnau, der am Zusammenfluss rund 7 Kilometer länger ist als die Seckach, etwa 100 km². Damit ist sie nach Länge wie Einzugsgebiet der größte Zufluss der Jagst.

Geographie

Verlauf
Die Seckach entspringt in der Nähe des Buchener Ortsteils Waldhausen in quellreicher Gegend und nimmt schon früh Nebenäste auf. Sie fließt zunächst in südöstliche und südliche Richtung.

Zwischen den Gemeinden Seckach und Adelsheim nimmt die Seckach ein paar immer kräftiger werdende Nebenflüsse auf. In Zimmern mündet der Schlierbach. Zwischen Hemsbach und Adelsheim mündet der Rinschbach, der bei Götzingen im Bauland entspringt. In Adelsheim schließlich empfängt die Seckach ihren größten Nebenfluss, die Kirnau, die ihre Ursprünge bei Altheim im Bauland hat. Auffallend ist an der Mündung, wie sehr das Wasser der Kirnau jenes der Seckach zur Seite drängt, so dass unklar ist, welcher der Bäche der kräftigere ist. Nach dem Zusammenfluss jedenfalls kann die Seckach ein kleiner Fluss genannt werden.

Auf ihrem weiteren Weg der Jagst entgegen fließt die Seckach in großen Schwüngen nach Süden und nimmt noch weitere dauerhaft wasserführende Bäche auf, von denen der Fischbach der größte ist. Er mündet wenig südlich von Sennfeld.

In Möckmühl floss die Seckach früher parallel zur Stadtmauer und bot an einem Wehr zusammen mit der Altstadt eine malerische Perspektive. Heute ist sie auf einer Länge von mehreren hundert Metern verdolt. Ihre Mündung wurde um 1900 beim Bau der Jagsttalbahn und eines E-Werks ein Stück nach Süden verlegt.

Zuflüsse

Hochwasser
Nach starken Niederschlägen traten am 21. Dezember 1993 die Bäche im Einzugsgebiet von Seckach und Kirnau über die Ufer. Die Seckach erreichte bei Sennfeld eine Abflussmenge von 154 m³/s und übertraf damit die durchschnittliche Abflussmenge des Neckars in Mannheim. Es kam zu Überschwemmungen im gesamten Gebiet, besonders stark betroffen waren Adelsheim, Möckmühl, Roigheim und das an der Kirnau liegende Osterburken (siehe auch Rheinhochwasser 1993). In der Möckmühler Altstadt wurde der höchste Wasserstand seit 1732 gemessen.

Nach einem weiteren Hochwasser 1995 gründeten die Gemeinden im Einzugsbereich von Seckach und Kirnau im Jahr 1997 einen Zweckverband Hochwasserschutz, um Verbesserungen des Hochwasserschutzes und der Hochwasservorsorge einzuleiten. Bis 2008 wurden 15 Hochwasserrückhaltebecken errichtet, die das Gebiet vor einem Jahrhunderthochwasser schützen sollen.
Weitere Schutzmaßnahmen wurden insbesondere in Möckmühl getroffen. Dort wurden an der Jagst zur Altstadtseite hin und an der Seckach Dämme und Betonmauern errichtet, außerdem wurden an den Toren der Stadtmauer Vorrichtungen für mobile Spundwände angebracht. Auch am der Seckach gegenüberliegenden linken Jagstufer wurden Wände und Deiche errichtet.

Geologie
Geologisch von Interesse sind die Schwemmkegel durch die regelmäßigen Hochwasser bis in die Neuzeit.

Über die Seckach führen einige reizvolle alte Natursteinbrücken: in Zimmern und Adelsheim jeweils mit zwei Bögen, in Sennfeld zwei Brücken mit mehreren Bögen.

Natur und Umwelt

Schutzgebiete
Ein kleiner Teil des Seckachtals im Oberlauf kurz vor dem Ort Seckach wurde durch Verordnung des Regierungspräsidiums Karlsruhe vom 25. August 1992 unter dem Namen Seckachtal als Naturschutzgebiet ausgewiesen. Das NSG trägt die Nummer 2.152 und hat eine Größe von rund 63,4 Hektar. Schutzzweck ist die Sicherung und Erhaltung des in diesem Gebiet vorhandenen wertvollen Mosaiks unterschiedlicher Lebensräume, nämlich des Baches mit seiner Gewässergüte als Lebensraum einer vielfältigen aquatischen Flora und Fauna, des gewässerbegleitenden Ufergehölzes als Rest naturnaher Auwaldgesellschaften, der gewässerbegleitenden feuchten Talwiesen und der Talflanken, die wegen ihres Strukturreichtums ein ideales Rückzugsgebiet für eine Vielzahl von Pflanzen und Tieren sind.

Das Naturschutzgebiet ist Bestandteil des FFH-Gebiets Nr. 6522341 "Seckach und Zuflüsse", das insgesamt 1.624,3 Hektar groß ist und sich über den Main-Tauber-Kreis und den Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis erstreckt.

Fauna
Das Wasser der Seckach ist sehr sauerstoffreich, sauber und relativ kalt. Dieser Umstand begünstigt die Forelle, die hier zahlreich vorkommt. Im Unterlauf gibt es auch Aale. Einst lebten in der Seckach auch Flusskrebse.

Wasserkraft
Bereits im Mittelalter nutzten Mühlen die Wasserkraft der Seckach. Die Stadtmühle von Möckmühl ist 1471 belegt und bestand damals wohl schon längere Zeit, ebenso wie die benachbarte Lohemühle. Allein im Flussabschnitt von Sennfeld bis zur Mündung bei Möckmühl sind 23 Wassertriebwerke nachgewiesen. Handelte es sich bis zum 19. Jahrhundert überwiegend um Mahlmühlen, Schleifmühlen, Sägmühlen, Hammerwerke, Ölmühlen und ähnliche, so trieb ab dem späten 19. Jahrhundert das Wasser der Seckach vor allem Turbinen zur Stromerzeugung an. Einige kleine Elektrizitätswerke längs des Flusses sind bis heute in Betrieb und gehen auf einstige Mühlenstandorte zurück, so das E-Werk am Platz der früheren Gernerschen Mühle bei Möckmühl. Mehrere Industriestandorte der Region gehen auf frühere Mühlenstandorte zurück, u. a. Pucaro in Roigheim oder Texon und Agria in Möckmühl.

These days, the current economic crisis is most often compared to the Great Depression, since we have nothing in recent memory with which to compare it. Things are bad; they will get worse; but we're not quite sure how or when, making it difficult to pull ourselves up by our collective bootstraps. No generation has had the knowledge, technology, resources, or power at hand to actualize its wild dreams and ambitious plans like ours, yet we find ourselves in this moment, hearts overflowing with everything but milk and honey. Entrepreneurial ideals have failed miserably in our neo-liberal marketplace. Deregulation has not allowed the most innovative and creative ideas to thrive, but instead has encouraged predatory and protectionist business practice in nearly every sector, the cultural sector being no exception. Is it possible, though, for the cultural community to respond to the ways in which financial crisis produces greater scarcity through collaboration rather than protectionism? How do cultural workers support each other through innovation and creative enterprise? How do we stop relying on competition and fundraising shrewdness? Some artists and organizations believe the secret to thriving under pressure lies in fostering different kinds of working relationships, exchanges, fiscal sponsorship, and resource sharing, allowing them to reach into and across the arts community. Nevertheless, in times like these, is that enough?
Insight Arts, a Chicago-based contemporary arts organization dedicated to supporting progressive movement building, found itself facing these challenges head on. In late 2008, the organization learned that one of its major donors lost money resulting from the Madoff scandal and would not be able to pay a confirmed donation. This unexpected loss would greatly diminish the organization's operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2009. In an effort to practice its mission as an organization dedicated to increasing access to cultural work that supports progressive social change, the board and staff strategized ways to lessen the impact of this loss on programs and initiatives. Staff members halved their paid hours to cut costs and turned to established relationships (and began building new ones) to carry on through the crisis. Board members hosted a small, impromptu fundraising event and discussed creating an intensive volunteer schedule to maintain program capacity in the interim.

My family loves frosted cookies and this is one that I make that never lasts long after they are frosted. They are really good.
In a time crunch, I used prepackaged gingersnap cookies but made the frosting as stated. I got so many raves for this dessert when I paired it with a bbq luncheon. The frosting was not runny and kept it's shape. Instead of spreading the frosting on the top of the cookies, I dipped half the cookie from the side and put two on a dessert plate. The added lemon zest gave the wow factor. I plan on making the cookies from the recipe next time.

Ilkay Gundogan helped Manchester City to move to the top of the Premier League with a superb run of form, and now he's hoping to offer his magic touch to struggling local businesses in the city that have been hit hard by lockdown restrictions.
Gundogan scored twice in City's 5-0 win at West Brom on Wednesday that took City top of the table, and they stayed there after Manchester United's shock defeat to Sheffield United. The goals were Gundogan's sixth and seventh in eight league appearances.
Before that United game, Gundogan took to Twitter to launch a new charity appeal to raise much-needed funds for local cafes and restaurants in Manchester, of which he is a regular visitor and supporter on social media.
Gundogan will allow fans to bid for items and experiences, including meet and greets, signed matchworn shirts, and a promise of more prizes to be announced.
Announcing his campaign, Gundogan posted: "I love spending time in all the varied restaurants and cafes across Manchester, but as you may all know the gastronomy is in a very difficult situation due to the lockdown right now.

"Let's help them as much as possible - therefore I will start a charity campaign that will run until the end of the season. Bid for very special prizes like a personal and virtual Meet & Greet with me or signed matchworn shirts from special games this season. Many more to come. The proceeds will be donated to restaurants and cafes in my second home - Manchester."
Explaining his decision to support the cafe and restaurant sector, Gundogan said on the CharityStars page where fans can donate : "Over the last few years I spent a lot of time in the city's many wonderful cafés and restaurants. During this time, I have met so many great people who tell me how difficult the situation has become for them in the last weeks and months due to the lockdown.
"I want to use the initiative to support people during this challenging time and at the same time offer fans the opportunity to buy something special at auction."
Gundogan has already lent his support to local charities in Manchester, spending his 30th birthday in October visiting charity Community Integrated Care for socially distanced visits to people supported by the charity and its colleagues in Blackley and Tameside.
