U of T accepts all recommendations of Anti-Semitism Working Group
(Photo by David Lee)
The University of Toronto's Anti-Semitism Working Group has delivered its final report and made a series of recommendations to tackle anti-Semitic racism and religious discrimination on campus – all of which have been accepted by the university.
The report's eight recommendations also address definitions of anti-Semitism, the extent and limits of academic freedom in a university setting and the provision of kosher food on campus.
Arthur Ripstein
"Anti-Semitism is an ancient but still present and problematic form of hatred," said Arthur Ripstein, chair of the working group and a University Professor of law and philosophy. "Our aim in drafting this report is to make realistic and actionable recommendations of the ways that the university can move forward in addressing it and to ensure that U of T is a place where Jewish members of the community feel safe and welcome."Comprising student, staff and faculty representatives, the working group conducted extensive consultations across the three campuses. Its findings draw on nearly 700 survey responses, more than 200 email submissions, six focus groups and several interviews with Jewish student organizations, as well as one with Jewish faith leaders.
The Anti-Semitism Working Group was established last December by U of T's president, provost and vice-president, human resources and equity (now people strategy, equity and culture) to review programming, activities, processes and practices in place at the university, as well as to make recommendations to support the university's response to anti-Semitism.
The review comes at a time when incidents of anti-Semitism are sharply on the rise in broader society. In July, the chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission warned that there had been "an alarming increase in antisemitic acts" during the pandemic.
Ripstein recounts that the university has a troubling history of anti-Semitism. In the 19th century, Jews were not able to become faculty members, and through to the middle part of the 20th century some faculties had quotas on the number of Jewish students that could be admitted.
"The situation for Jewish members of the university has improved considerably since that time," said Ripstein. "But there are still situations in which they are made to feel unwelcome or harassed. Our aim is to address those issues in ways that are sensitive to the particular position of the university as a place of learning and as a place of academic disagreement."
Each of the working group's recommendations focuses on ways the university can make itself a more inclusive and equitable place. That includes calling for the university to apply its equity, diversity and inclusion policies consistently, and procedures to ensure that anti-Semitism is treated in the same way as other forms of racism and religious discrimination. Other recommendations include:
The university should focus on problems and issues specific to the distinctive context of the university as a place in which difficult and controversial questions are addressed. In so doing, it should not adopt any of the definitions of anti-Semitism that have recently been proposed because of concerns about their applicability to a university setting.
Academic units, administrative units and student organizations in which enrolment is mandatory must not make participation in their activities or access to their resources conditional on taking a particular position on any controversial question.
The university should issue regular communications about its approach to controversial events, emphasizing that it will not enforce content-based restrictions on such events but that such events must be held in a respectful, safe and open manner.
The university must develop measures for responding to various forms of social exclusion, harassment, micro-aggressions and bullying (including online instances) for all equity-deserving groups and apply these consistently.
The university and its divisions and academic units should apply the Policy on Scheduling Classes and Examinations and Other Accommodations for Religious Observances consistently, avoiding scheduling mandatory events on significant Jewish holidays and permitting Jewish members of the university to participate fully in a range of accommodations.
The university should ensure kosher food is readily available on its campuses.
In response, U of T President Meric Gertler, Acting Vice-President & Provost Trevor Young and Vice-President, People Strategy, Equity and Culture Kelly Hannah-Moffat said they were pleased to accept all the working group's recommendations.
"We are profoundly opposed to anti-Semitism," the university leaders said in their official response to the report. "We are determined to ensure that our campuses are places where members of the Jewish community feel that they are safe, included and respected as members and friends of the U of T community."
They also thanked the members of the working group, as well as all those who took part in the consultations. "Through their consultations and deliberations, and through their report, [the working group has] made an extremely valuable contribution to the University on behalf of its Jewish community," they said.
The working group report examined the tensions between the essential need for a culture of respect and inclusion and the university's unique position in society, where, in the words of the Statement of Institutional Purpose, "the most crucial of all human rights are the rights of freedom of speech, academic freedom, and freedom of research."
Within this context, the working group recommended that the university not adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism. "The reason that we are not recommending the adoption of the IHRA, or other definitions, is that all of them are designed for different purposes," explained Ripstein. "They are not suitable to the distinctive context of the university. Adoption of them would not integrate with the requirements on us and our other existing policy commitments."
The university's senior leaders confirmed that a definition of anti-Semitism will not be adopted: "We appreciate that some members of the University community as well as external stakeholders may be disappointed … We also acknowledge and appreciate the working group's principled and thoughtful reasoning on this point."
The working group report noted that free speech and academic freedom requirements mean that unpopular views must not lead to any form of sanctions or exclusion from the university experience. Also, academic units should not pressure or require individuals to endorse or oppose political causes, the report said.
The institutional response highlights several ways in which individuals will be reminded of their responsibilities, including through proactive communications and training that address anti-Semitism. There will also be a review of existing policies and guidelines to ensure that they respond to the particular challenge of addressing racism and faith-based hatred that's found on social media.
The university will provide progress updates on the implementation of the report's recommendations on its Anti-Racism Strategic Tables webpage.

How to get the lifetime activity points from Bunchball plugin?
Which DB houses the lifetime activity points from Bunchball in JIVE?
Is there a way to get an export of the points from Bunchball?
Re: How to get the lifetime activity points from Bunchball plugin?
The points are stored in a bunchball specific service. I will reach out to the product team at Bunchball to reply here with options for grabbing a user or all user's points.
Sorry to bother you again with this - was anyone from Bunchball able to respond? We are kind of under the gun and need this information as soon as possible.
No updates yet, going to reach out again.
Lea - Got a response back from Buchball that this report should be possible with the 'segment reporting' functionality turned on. You can request this access /functionality by reaching out to our support team with a support ticket!
With segments, one can then generate a report that displays the lifetime balance by either running a raw report that has all the transactions and calculating it themselves, or using the aggregated by user report.
Make sure to put in a name for the report, the date range from when the community first started and put in an email address, it then goes into a queue and you will get an email to come here and download the report when it's done. It will come in a s .TSV file so make sure you import it into Excel following the defaults as if it was a text file. Let me know if you have any trouble with this, I have a document that has more detailed steps. Heather Ausmus was the one that showed me how to do it so she deserves the credit for figuring this out but these reports are incredibly helpful!
Hi Mahal Torres, What is the difference between Aggregate by User reports and raw reports? I pulled both with the same timelines, however the aggregate report showed only a few of the active missions and I don't know how it is determining which missions to showcase.

A Message from EEOC Chair Charlotte A. Burrows on Hispanic Heritage Month 2022
From September 15th to October 15th of each year, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize the achievements of our country's Hispanic communities. This year's theme is "Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation," a reminder that diverse voices and perspectives should be welcomed and included as we develop strong communities that contribute to a robust economy and nation. At the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), we are working to build inclusive workplaces for a stronger nation.
Roberto Clemente, the first Latin-American and Caribbean player to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, once said "all human beings are equal, but one has to unceasingly fight hard to maintain that equality." History as well as recent studies indicate that Hispanics have demonstrated such resilience to advance equality in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated that in 2019, there were nearly 347,000 Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States, which made up about 6% of U.S. businesses, up from 4.6% only a year earlier. Further, Hispanics have made significant contributions to our nation, including their vital services during the COVID-19 pandemic in nearly every profession, from farm and construction workers, to nurses, doctors, teachers, and scientists, as well as their effective leadership as servicemembers, diplomats, and elected officials.
However, the last few years have not been without challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic's disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities. From August 2020 to September 2020, Hispanic women experienced the highest decrease in labor force size of all demographic groups. In part, this decrease was due to women needing to leave the workforce based on family-care obligations.[1] To help combat discrimination that might result in job losses or reduced hours, the EEOC has published technical assistance on how discrimination against applicants and employees with caregiving responsibilities during the pandemic may violate federal employment discrimination laws. Additionally, after observing the pandemic's devastating impact on underserved communities – including Hispanic communities – our agency launched the Hiring Initiative to Reimagine Equity, or HIRE. This joint initiative with the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs is helping to address hiring and recruiting challenges and expand access to good jobs for underrepresented workers.
The EEOC continues to serve at the forefront in protecting the rights of Hispanic workers. We have signed Memorandums of Understanding with the Embassies of Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to reaffirm that employees from those countries – regardless of immigration status or national origin – are protected under our nation's employment discrimination laws. To help ensure language is not a barrier to accessing federal employment protections, the Commission also offers many resources for individuals with limited English proficiency, such as access to bilingual agency staff and our Spanish language website. We conduct radio and social media outreach in Spanish. The EEOC also partners with a variety of organizations to inform Hispanic audiences of their workplace rights and obligations and to strengthen the EEOC's long-term relationship with these communities. Last month, we held our first virtual EEO workshop for employers exclusively in Spanish.
To prevent and remedy workplace discrimination, the EEOC achieved the following on behalf of Hispanic workers:
In May 2021, the EEOC and Wild Fork Food settled a lawsuit with a consent decree after a Hispanic employee at the company was subjected to a hostile work environment based on her race and national origin and experienced retaliation when she complained about the behavior. The consent decree requires Wild Fork Food to pay $130,000 in monetary relief to the employee in addition to providing training on national origin discrimination, race discrimination, and harassment to employees.
In August 2021, ABM Industries entered into a conciliation agreement with the EEOC after a class of Hispanic employees were harassed based on their national origin. ABM agreed to pay $25,000 to each charging party and $10,000 to an identified class member, totaling $60,000. Furthermore, the company agreed to conduct training for management personnel and redistribute the company's harassment and discrimination policies to their employees.
In June 2022, Baumann Farms and the EEOC settled a lawsuit with a consent decree after female employees were sexually harassed by their male supervisor at Baumann Farms and due to the company's English-only policy that discriminated against non-English-speaking Hispanic employees based on national origin. The company agreed to pay $180,812.50 in monetary damages and implement several systems, such as a hotline for discrimination complaints, to ensure any future instances of harassment or discrimination are remedied.
These are just a few examples of our work and its impact on Hispanic workers.
Throughout the year and especially during Hispanic Heritage Month, the EEOC celebrates the diverse voices and numerous contributions of Hispanic people. We are committed to ensuring equal employment opportunity for all by promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in America's workplaces so that every worker has an opportunity to contribute to a strong economy for an even stronger nation.

Forever Fever: Hype surrounding Forever 21 opening still going strong
by Archives September 29, 2009
It's been almost a month since Forever 21 set up shop at Complexe les Ailes, yet Montrealers still can't get enough of the American retail chain famous for its trendy fashions at rock bottom prices.
Although people have stopped lining up outside the store's doors before opening hours, cashier Rebbeca Claman said customers can still expect to wait at least 20 to 30 minutes for the cash and fitting rooms. However, she says this is a drastic improvement from the three to four hour lines clients had to endure during the first two weeks. According to Claman, the store is busiest on weekends, and in the afternoons- particularly around 4 p.m., when uniform-clad girls and adults leaving work arrive in hordes.
At a time when budget-consious shoppers are looking for great deals, Forever 21 is cheaper than H&M, Zara, Mango and Old Navy, and some would argue, just as nice. Formal dresses are in the $25 to $50 price range; jeans cost $14.50 to $33.80; tops: $10 to $15; jackets: $38 to $60; and accessories: $4.90 to $10.
"When customers come in and look at the products, they're super excited," said Claman. "They're especially excited for the accessories because the prices are so low, yet [they] look expensive and well-made."
Concordia University student Angela Kassem was one happy customer.
"I'm very satisfied. The prices are low and the quality is good," said Kassem, 23.
Her first reaction when she walked in the store during opening week was, "Oh my God!"
"I was shocked because it was overly packed," said Kassem.
She decided it was best to return later and avoid the lines. "The first time I bought something I waited 15 minutes in line, which is still pretty long for me," she said with a laugh.
Pink walls, floral designs and bright lights decorate the two floors of the 17,000 square foot store. The marquee above the door says XXI, which refers to upgraded urban stores in the Forever 21 chain. Inside, customers can find evening wear on the first level, and casual everyday wear on the second. While the store carries mainly women's fashions, Forever 21 accommodates its male client

Area farmers worry new food safety rules could be detrimental to small farms
July 22, 2013 Posted in: Local Heroes in the News, Press Room
Daily Hampshire Gazette
It's not easy to get busy New England farmers to leave their farms in the middle of the growing season. But more than 50 from the Pioneer Valley crowded a South Deerfield meeting room Thursday to learn about new federal food safety rules that many worry could drive some out of business.
"Food safety is a good thing but the economic impact of these new rules means New England farmers are bearing a disproportionate burden," said Roger Noonan, head of the New England Farmers Union.
The proposed rules, released in January as part of the Food Safety Modernization Act President Barack Obama signed into law Jan. 4, 2011, among other things, would require farmers that produce food generally eaten raw to test groundwater or river water used for irrigation and keep all animals out of fields. Farmers or facilities that process and pack produce or buy and sell it from other farms will also create a food safety plan that identifies potential hazards and procedures to prevent contamination.
Proponents say they will be a huge step toward preventing contamination of the country's food. Opponents fear the new regulations may drive some farms out of business.
Russell Braen of Park Hill Orchard in Easthampton said that while the rules as proposed seem onerous and unenforceable, farmers will have to live with whatever the FDA decides. And as a man who came to farming later in life, he said he is constantly impressed by how farmers seem to get by, no matter what Mother Nature, the market or the government throws at them. "It's another seemingly insurmountable challenge," he said.
The Food and Drug Administration, which proposed the rules, has acknowledged that the added cost for farmers to implement the changes will drive some small, higher-cost producers out of business, said Noonan, a New Hampshire farmer. The majority of farms in this part of the country fit that bill — they are small or mid-sized and face higher production costs because real estate costs, labor costs and taxes are higher here.
Rich Bonanno, a Methuen farmer, UMass Amherst Extension specialist and president of the Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation, said that none of the high-profile instances of food contamination have come from the Northeast. He said the risk of contaminated produce is much greater in the western part of the country because produce from many different farms is often commingled before it is shipped to hundreds of stores.
Farmers meeting
Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture (CISA) convened the meeting for area farmers at the Polish American Citizens Club so experts could answer farmers' questions on the thousands of pages of proposed rules.
Ryan Voiland, co-owner of Red Fire Farm in Granby and Montague, said finding the time and money to comply with the rules won't be easy.
"I'm worried about the cost of it," he said. Many area farmers are living on an increasingly tight budget, he said. "Every time you turn around one more expense is going up. Something like this could make it impossible for us to stay in business, depending on how it's interpreted."
The FDA estimated that the cost to comply with the rules would be $4,697 for small farmers who make between $25,000 and $250,000 and about $13,000 for mid-sized farms who make between $250,000 to $500,000. But Noonan thinks the real cost will be double that. He said it will cost him $7,000 just to comply with one of the rules that requires farmers who irrigate crops with river or lake water to test the water once a week.
Another rule states that farmers cannot apply manure to their fields any less than nine months before harvest.
Bonanno said the rule is untenable for a working farm. The time period is overly cautious, he said, noting it is five months longer than is required under the USDA's certified organic standards. "The nutrients from the manure will be gone by the time you plant," he said.
Ashfield farmers Daniel Greene and Kyla Allon of Good Bunch Farm said that provision would likely mean they wouldn't be able to use a field for a whole growing season. "We're so small, we can't take a field out of production," Greene said.
The regulations exempt farms that make under $25,000 annually from food for humans or animals. For now, that includes Good Bunch Farm, which is still getting off the ground, Greene said. "I guess we'll try not to make too much money," he said with a laugh.
Some of the proposed changes could also negatively impact the environment, Noonan said. Farmers may have to stockpile manure they can't spread, which could create more run-off into bodies of water, he said, and the provision requiring them to keep domestic and wild animals off the fields will lead to farmers clearing vegetation and other animal habitats from around their fields.
The pages of proposed rules still contain a lot of unanswered questions, he said, from who will be inspecting to ensure compliance to whether farmers can wash vegetables by dipping them in water. "This is like a Mad Lib. There are a lot of blanks to fill in," he said.
The public comment period on the rules ends Sept. 16, and Bonanno and Noonan encouraged farmers to write letters to the FDA and local legislators in the hopes that the pressure will caused the FDA to reconsider certain provisions that would be burdensome to farmers. Bonanno said it would be ideal if the FDA could be convinced to exempt farms that get food safety certified under the state's voluntary Commonwealth Quality Program.
The timeline for when the rules will be finalized and implemented is still unclear, but Bonanno said the FDA has signaled that it plans to make the rules official about a year after the comment period ends Sept. 16. The Center for Food Safety sued the FDA to speed up implementation, while the House of Representatives amended the farm bill it passed July 11 to delay the food safety rules until the FDA conducts a study on their economic impacts. The Senate has yet to vote on it.
Voiland, who will be penning letters to the FDA, said food safety is already a high priority at his farm and others in the area. "I'm confident our existing systems are good," he said.

2019 All-SCV girls tennis singles team
Haley Sawyer
Jordyn McBride may play singles in Foothill League play, but competing in her senior season with the Wildcats, she never felt alone on the court.
"Especially during super tight matches, I feel like I have a super good support system," she said. "Everybody on the team is also my best friend, so I feel like they're really there for me. It just makes you play better. Not only do you want to do it for yourself but you want to do it for your team."
McBride used the support from her teammates to get her to her third consecutive Foothill League singles title and this year's All-SCV Girls Tennis Singles Player of the Year award.
Throughout the season, McBride supported her teammates. But at the Foothill League finals, she had to win against one in order to win the singles title. She was able to beat Annette Robertson 6-0, 6-1 for the championship win.
Although she focuses mostly on singles in Foothill League play, she dedicates time to doubles in junior tennis tournaments.
"Sometimes I even prefer doubles," she said, "especially because you're out there with other people. If you're friends with them, it's better because it's a lot more fun. I think I was meant to play a team sport in another life, so that's why sometimes I prefer doubles."

McBride, who is the No. 9 player in California according to the Tennis Recruiting Network, was able to experience the team aspect of prep tennis this season as West Ranch developed strong chemistry at the Point Loma tournament during preleague play.
"This was such a bonding moment for everybody especially those new on varsity," she said. "When we all hung out at Point Loma we all clicked. Even before but after that, our chemistry was so tight. I can't even explain it."
The season ended nearly as well as how it started. After taking a year off from the CIF-Southern Section individual playoffs, McBride returned this season to reach the semifinals. She lost to San Marino's Anessa Lee, the No. 3 player in the state, 6-0, 6-1.
In the next phase of her tennis career, McBride will leave behind prep tennis and junior tennis to play at the University of San Diego, the same college that her mom, Dina, played at.

"Ever since I was a sixth-grader I wanted to go to USD and my mom has told me so much about school and I've only heard good things about it," she said. "It really inspired me my whole life to go there and that was always my top choice."
She heads to San Diego in August, but she still plans to show support for the Wildcats and even plans to come to watch the Point Loma tournament next season.
"In the end, you're not going to remember every single match you play but you're going to remember friendships and training with the girls and I think that's the most important thing about being on a team," McBride said. "Live in the moment with that and have tons of fun with that."
All-SCV Girls Singles Team
Emily Christensen, Saugus
The junior had her best campaign to date and reached the semifinals in the Foothill League finals, where she played Jordyn McBride. She edged fellow Centurions Maddie Wiseman 3-6, 6-2, 10-5 to reach the semis.
Annette Robertson, West Ranch
Robertson played Jordyn McBride for the Foothill League singles title at the league finals and won one set against her, but still gave her some great competition with her hard hits. After the season, Robertson played in the Copa Pura Vida ITF Junior tennis tournament in San Jose, Costa Rica and won a title in doubles competition.
Amber Kashay, Canyon
Kashay was the Cowboys' No. 1 singles player throughout the season and had a solid run in Foothill League play, reaching the semifinals. She lost to Emily Christensen in the consolation bracket to be named the No. 4 singles player in the league.
Maddie Wiseman, Saugus
Wiseman was teammate Emily Christensen's toughest competition all season. The two played each other in the Foothill League quarterfinals and the match went to a tiebreaker with Christensen coming out on top, 3-6, 6-2, 10-5.
Carly Wilkinson, Hart

Josie Wondra, Hart
Wondra transferred into Hart from Las Vegas and made an instant impact by becoming the No. 2 singles player. She was key in a match against Saugus, winning all three sets to help secure the No. 3 spot in the Foothill League.

One-of-a-kind bronze sculpture and dimensional wall pieces are welded, forged, machined and finished with hot process patinas. The process has evolved in my 40 year dialogue with materials, and I have learned when to impose my will and when to listen. I want my pieces to look made and to retain evidence of my hand and thought. Hinged boxes open to panels to reveal interior compositions. Antique beads are collected and used as found objects in both sculpture and dimensional wall pieces. Working in series creates a slowly accumulating momentum, wearing away the non-essential to reveal what is authentic to a personal and particular aesthetic.

September 25, 1962-June 23, 1970.

AVT-partner in Turkey receives industry award for its glass tableware inspection system O2KS. O2KS relies on 6 digital cameras from Allied Vision Technologies.
TESID, the Turkish Electonic Manufacturers' Association is one of the biggest professional associations in Turkey with sales of its member companies expected to reach $45 billion in 2013. Every year the association rewards only a couple of distinguished projects among tens of nominations.
In 2012, one of the Innovation and Creativity Awards of the association was granted to E3TAM for its O2KS project which is the world's first and most advanced solution for cold-end / tableware glass inspection. Using AVT Guppy PRO and Stingray cameras, sophisticated lighting and an advanced image processing software, O2KS has been sucessfully implemented at leading glass tableware manufacturers in Turkey.
Founded in 1995, E3TAM is a pioneering company for PC-based test systems in Turkey. With a long history of successful projects in industrial vision, E3TAM is focusing on specific inspection solutions (i.e. glass, pharmaceutical, etc). E3TAM is Allied Vision Technologies' distribution partner in Turkey.


MINNEOLA — About 200 Grassy Lake Elementary fifth graders on Wednesday became the first class to graduate from the Sheriff's Office's DARE program in six years.
Sheriff Peyton Grinnell said the program used to draw 6,000 students a year before it was cut for budget reasons in 2013. He estimated that 30,000 students missed out on the program, which he promised to bring back during his 2016 campaign.
"That's roughly 30,000 students that we did not come into contact with in a positive way," Grinnell said. He said one of the biggest benefits of DARE is the opportunity to show students that police weren't just there to get people in trouble.
He said that DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, has shifted priorities since it was last implemented to focus more on life skills than before. Students learn the old material, but they are also expected to learn about things like conflict management, how to avoid peer pressure, standing up against bullying and how to discern a good choice from a bad one.
Students maintain a journal at the end of each DARE lesson, and at the end of the program, they write an essay about what they learned and how they'll use it to be safe and make good choices in the future. Once they've turned it in, they can graduate.
Grassy Lake's students are the first to go through the new curriculum, taught by Sgt. Fred Jones and the School Resource Deputy, Master Deputy Lori Bott.
"I think the model of life skills is even more important now than when the program ended," Jones said.
In the digital age, children are faced with ever-increasing access to the internet, which can be both good and bad. DARE's focus on figuring out whether a decision is good or bad can help kids navigate the internet responsibly, he said, or help them figure out when something they saw was bad.
It also might help with the growing issue of vaping on school campuses, Jones added. Deputies have given out more than 100 citations for students with vapes in school.
Bott said that DARE didn't have specific curriculum for vaping yet, but they do cover it when discussing healthy choices, and students frequently ask about it.
Grassy Lake Principal Julie Williams said the program's early reach has had a major impact on not just Grassy Lake students, but her own family.
Her son went through fifth grade after DARE was cut, but her daughter had the opportunity to take the course. She said the difference in their knowledge about drugs and topics like conflict management is stark, and her daughter often teaches her son new things, even though he's much older.
She's happy to have the program back after watching several classes pass through without it.
"To see it come full circle today was just really exciting," she said.
The Sheriff's Office expects to host one more graduation in April, when students from Seminole Springs Elementary School finish the program.

The Core Humanitarian Standard was launched four years ago. We have learnt a lot from the verification processes organisations have undertaken to assess how successfully they have applied the standard, while acknowledging that the need for a more accountable aid sector is greater than ever. Therefore, we are pleased to share some important updates designed to help our members and the wider sector with their verification journey against the CHS.
In February, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) joined the CHS Alliance as its fifth global network, bringing 120 country offices as affiliate members. We sat down with ADRA'w president, Jonathan Duffy, and with Olivier Guth, director for global accountability to find out what motivated ADRA to join the CHS Alliance and how they are planning to push forward their commitment to quality and accountability.
HEKS/EPER has recently joined the CHS Alliance, marking their commitment to the application of the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS) in their day-to-day service to people and communities affected by crisis.
The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) and Qatar Charity have recently joined the CHS Alliance, marking their commitment to the application of the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS) in their day-to-day service to people and communities affected by crisis.
An important aspect of CHS Alliance membership is encouraging our members to verify the degree to which they apply the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS). Three years into this scheme, we have learnt a lot from the various verification processes our members have undertaken.
Since January 2018 the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in Chad has used a common platform to track the views of people and communities affected by crisis about their collective action. The project has started an important discussion within the humanitarian community in Chad on how to more systematically collect and use community perceptions to inform the deliverables of the humanitarian response, as well as how to best engage communities.
The CHS Alliance is currently looking for a consultant - or team of consultants - to conduct a piece of research aiming at: -Reviewing the CHS Verification Scheme; -Making actionable recommendations for the Verification Scheme and its accompanying institutional arrangements.
What are some of the biggest challenges seen on the ground in moving forward on humanitarian quality and accountability? On the occasion of #HNPW2019, the CHS Alliance, Sphere and HERE-Geneva are co-hosting an open conversation on Wednesday, 6th February from 16.00 to 17.30.
This month we are putting ActionAid International Kenya in the spotlight. As a founding member of the CHS Alliance, ActionAid International Kenya was among the first organisations to engage in a Self-Assessment process against the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS) in 2016. They are continuously demonstrating their commitment to the CHS, more recently by contributing to the governance of the Alliance.
Denis Orioki has been working for Action Aid International Kenya since 2012. Currently he supports five Local Rights Programmes (LRPs) in Khwisero as a Capacity Building Coordinator responsible for livelihoods and resilience. He has a background in disaster management and international diplomacy, and is currently studying towards a Master's degree in climate change.
As a strong supporter of the Core Humanitarian Standard, ActionAid Kenya has a robust and thorough approach to quality and accountability. Not only their work is built upon their Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA), which promotes programming that leads to community empowerment, but also they respond to the needs of crisis-affected people by encouraging women's leadership, learning from their experiences to increase effectiveness and by embracing accountability at all levels.
The timely topic "Don't let PSEA stand alone" will bring together key representatives of the humanitarian and development sectors to identify opportunities and challenges when it comes to integrating PSEA in the way we work. Join the discussion at the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) on Wednesday, 6 February 2019 at 11:00am.
On 1st October the CHS Alliance, in partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), launched the 2018 edition of the Humanitarian Accountability Report (HAR) in Geneva. Since then, the Alliance has organised a series of launch events around the world.
Since January 2018, we have been working in partnership with Ground Truth Solutions (GTS) in Chad to collect feedback from people affected by crisis and aid workers and, based on these findings, help the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) adapt the implementation of their programmes.
On 26 November, the CHS Alliance participated in a panel discussion on good practice in investigations into sexual exploitation and abuse at a joint meeting of the United Nations investigations bodies and the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) in Geneva. This meeting was attended by managers of investigations sections from across the UN along with a small number of NGO representatives.

text: "I knew I wanted to start and end the piece with the kind of majestic theme that brass instruments do so well, but the music between those themes featured everything from African rhythms to the sounds of a typewriter captured by the then-emerging technology of sampling. But with ten minutes of pre-recorded material and affordable computer storage not being what it is today, we had to sync our live performance to a sixteen-track analog tape deck, which required the brass players to wear headphones and follow a click track, and Mr. Giordano (in full tuxedo) to be on stage with us to do the mixing."

Paul Josiah Devlin is an American sports editor and documentary filmmaker.

Education
Devlin is a B.A. graduate of the University of Michigan. While in high school he penned a now widely-shared - especially during the annual college admission season - 'I reject your rejection' letter to Harvard (and other colleges) that sent him rejections.

Career
A five-time Emmy winner for his work on NBC's Olympics and CBS's Tour de France, Devlin's films include Power Trip, which screened in 60 countries, theatrically across the United States and on PBS's Independent Lens, was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, and has won 10 film festival awards, including top prizes at Berlin, Hot Docs-Toronto, and Florida.

Devlin also made the award-winning film SlamNation, which follows the fierce competition at the National Poetry Slam and helped popularize the dynamic genre with its release in theaters and on HBO/Cinemax and Encore/Starz. An interview with Devlin compromises an entire chapter in the book Words In Your Face: A Guided Tour through the New York City Poetry Slam, which refers to the movie as "Slam's Second Bible."

His second film - Power Trip - captures a clash of culture that combusts, when an American energy company, AES, must transform the dysfunctional electricity distribution system in Tbilisi, capital of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia.  Power Trip was nominated for the 2004 Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary.  Power Trip is available on home and educational DVD, as well as for download on iTunes.

His film BLAST! follows a team of international astrophysicists led by Paul's brother, Dr. Mark Devlin, as they attempt to launch a telescope on a NASA high-altitude balloon.  BLAST! is currently available on DVD for home and educational release.  BLAST! is the first film to ever partner with the website ArtistShare - a website that allows fans to support the work of their favorite artists.

Devlin's latest film, The Front Man, is a documentary which follows the rock-and-roll career of the Loaded Poets, a band from North Brunswick, New Jersey.  The film documents the band's struggle for success and the member's continued dream of rock and roll fame.  The band also appeared in Devlin's first film, Rockin' Brunswick, which documented the 1980s New Brunswick music scene.

His other credits include his fiction film The Eyes of St. Anthony and his work as producing editor on the organic film FREESTYLE: The Art of Rhyme, broadcast on VH1 and winner of the Special Jury Award for Documentary Filmmaking at the Florida Film Festival.

As an editor, Devlin's credits include commercials, music videos, television shows, and major sports broadcasts, including CBS's Super Bowls and ABC/ESPN's World Cup Soccer.

Personal life
Devlin is married to Emily Raabe.

Lubomyr Melnyk - Martin Dvořák: Poetic reflections in free moments
Stage concert of world fastest pianist - Crossover music-theatre project
A stage hommage to the artistic vision and poetic world of Czech famous director Peter Weigl

This interdisciplinary project aims to connect and celebrate the art mastership of a theatre and above all film director born in Brno, Petr Weigl, who wrote the history of film music theatre, in particular during the 70s and 80s.
His opera film adaptations, refined and clear in style, with the leading singing as well as acting cast stand at the very peak of this genre. His unique interconnections of the theatrical acting and opera theatre principles remain unmatched to this day in this genre. His remarkable work include no only adaptations of ballet pieces, but above all film adaptations of opera literature works where the singers' vocal performances (voices) blended with the precise theatrical concepts of acting actors (character interpreters). This work was penetrated by his author work such as St. Sebastian's Passion, The Lead Night, The Way to Prague, The Winter Path and above all Poetic reflections in free moments, which do not follow any specific pattern, however build the happening through sensation and emotions of the present characters and from the momentary inventions and inspiration of the Director. We would like to rediscover this poetic world of Weigl. Open this hidden world with no words.
Our aim is not to transfer and copy the entire completed piece from the film screen to the stage, but rather to recreate the creative principle of Petr Weigl, his profound sense for beauty, idea, human emotion and spiritual reach from the art work to its spectators. Formally we aim to spread between the principles of theatre and dance and motion theatre, discover the boundaries between the "still acting and already dancing" and vice versa.
Film at theatre
Poetic reflections in free moments is in fact a "mute" film with Schubert music, narrating tragic love among four people. It is a film overwhelmed by beauty, melodrama without words in images. Music film with no dance, no songs, which is neither an opera, nor a ballet which is determined to solve "mute" difficult psychological situations: masterpiece overflowing with meaningful features connecting gentleness and beauty. The attempt to transfer such piece on a stage is not easy. This however is not the intention of the creators. The meaning of our work is the build psychologically strong images using contemporary theatrical, dance and expressive resources. In fact, it is impossible to capture the space in which this project is meant to be performed as it is neither a ballet, nor an opera, nor a theatre piece. It is simply a music-theatre performance with elements of multiple theatrical genres which interconnect and supplement each other. Poetic reflections on a theatre are to be an intimate and internal capture of emotions and beauty using contemporary minimalist expressive principles of theatre of the 21st century.
The basic element of this project is the music of Lubomyr Melnyk, who built his distinctive music genre on a practical experience of an accompanying musician during modern dance classes, most notably in conjunction with Carolyn Carlson, choreographer at the Paris Opera. Melnyk is noted for continuous music, a piano technique based on extremely rapid notes and complex note-series, usually with the sustain pedal held down to generate overtones and sympathetic resonances. These overtones blend or clash according to harmonic changes. Most of his music is for piano, but he has also composed chamber and orchestral works.
Melnyk is also an holder of two world records: he sustained speeds of over 19.5 notes per second, and played between 13 and 14 notes per second for one full hour. In his domain he does not have a competitor and as a musician and artist gained broad international recognition. Lose yourself in the innovative sounds of Ukrainian composer and pianist, the pioneer of 'Continuous Piano Music'. Not only regarded as one of the world's fastest concert pianists, his compositions also carry listeners to new realms.

What did you do for Remembrance Day this year? We switched things up and instead of going to the Military Museum ceremony, we went to the Field of Crosses one on Memorial Drive.
It was very moving and sobering to see over 3,400 crosses which make up the mock cemetery in memory of southern Alberta soldiers who enlisted and lost their lives fighting for our freedom.
The Master of Ceremonies, Jordan Witzel, of Global TV, had a very simple yet powerful message to start off the event. He said that those who sacrificed their lives for us, did so, so that we could have "love, hope and tolerance for one another. We could pray or not pray. We could vote or protest." Those words truly struck a chord with me.
This year, they honoured fallen soldiers from the battle of Passchendaele in Belgium. It was very sobering to have the children's choir hum in the background as wreaths were laid as each of the fallen soldiers were mentioned and at the same time, a child held up a picture of each of the soldiers who were being honoured. A picture truly does speak a thousand words.
The moment of silence was followed by the Calgary Fire Department Pipers and Drums playing Amazing Grace. This song is such a powerful one on its own, but a whole knew kind of magic occurred when the entire crowd started humming along to this song. This was followed by the Calgary Burns Club Singers singing the song in its entirety. It was finished with another round of pipes, the singers as well as people humming again to the song. I felt a very deep connection amongst everyone in attendance.
At the end of the ceremony, we were all asked to leave our poppies behind on a cross that spoke to us in a way of honouring and remembrance.
This ceremony was simple, yet impactful. Thank you to those who fought for our freedom, those who took the time to coordinate this ceremony, and those who chose to show their support by participating. Lest we forget indeed.


Guess he's over Kylie lookalikes.
Tyga may not be moving on from Kylie Jenner with Karlie Redd, but he's definitely getting close to somebody new.
Tyga is in Cannes, France right now for a performance, and he was spotted leaving his hotel with a British model named Demi Rose.
Usually when Tyga is spotted with models, they look like his ex, Kylie, but is it just us, or is this model more of a Selena Gomez lookalike?
Whether Tyga and Demi are seeing each other or not, Kylie probably isn't losing any sleep over it, since she's too busy running a beauty empire and getting close to PartyNextDoor.
Selena Gomez & Ed Sheeran Spotted on a Dinner Date!
Is Tyga Getting Between Kylie and Kendall?
Is This Selena's New BF?
You'll Never Believe Who Selena Gomez Likes Making Out With!


This consultation paper was developed by FRSC Working Group on Country of Origin Labelling to gauge stakeholder views on preferred options for regulation of country of origin labelling of food in Australia and New Zealand.
Submitters were asked to consider specifically whether or not country of origin labelling should be mandatory or voluntary.
Consultations closed on 28 February 2003 and a summary of stakeholder responses is available (see below).


I just did a review (on Goodreads.com) of the book 'Sit Down! Listen to This' by Bill Sykes – and it reminded me of why I wanted to read the book in the first place. The book is the biography of Roger Eagle who ran Eric's – the premier punk and new wave club in Liverpool in the late 70s. I was often down there on a Saturday lunchtime, Saturday and Sunday evenings, listening to whoever was on (X-Ray Spex, Big in Japan, John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett, Deke Leonard, The Pirates and many others).
Like all good music clubs it was scruffy and dirty with expensive beer and better drugs available in the toilets. And like all good clubs, it felt like home to me and the drifting crowd of people with nothing better to do than listen to the music that their generation was producing. It left a big hole in Liverpool's music scene when it's licence was revoked my magistrates on the advice of the police. I'm sure they thought they were doing the right thing – but I've never trusted the police since!
I hope todays youth have similar places where, for a few hours, they can feel as if they are making the future not re-living the past as I am here.

Crossroads Prison Ministries is all about the good news of Jesus. We believe that it is only Jesus who breaks the chains of the prisoner and brings true freedom to all who come to him, regardless of where they are or have been. We also believe that everyone needs to hear this good news, 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' (Romans 3:23). Jesus tells those who believe in him to 'go and make disciples of all people', including people in prison.
Crossroads is uniquely placed to help churches and their members reach those in prison with the good news of Jesus, through teaching and mentoring, pastoral care, and prayer; as we partner with you to mentor and equip prisoners for a life transformed by and for Jesus.
To date Crossroads Prison Ministries has introduced more than 20,000 students across Australia and the South Pacific to the Gospel of Jesus.
But the mission is far from over, and there are more people in prison waiting for a mentor than we can currently serve.
So we'd love to partner with you in serving them.
Mentors are at the heart of the ministry here at Crossroads.
Mentors exchange letters with students, mark lessons, provide encouragement to students, and pray for students. Through these exchanges mentors invest in student's lives as they study God's Word and apply Biblical truths to their lives.
You can find out more about mentoring, or sign up as a mentor here.
Existing mentors should head over to our Mentor Hub for all mentoring activities.
Do you know someone in prison who would benefit from receiving Bible training through Crossroads?
You can sign them up here.
Every student who is signed up to Crossroads correspondence classes will receive a free NIV Bible with their introductory letter.
You will need to know the student's name, MIN number and location.
Crossroads is a non-denominational charity, registered with ACNC. All of our funding comes entirely from the generosity of our financial partners, both individuals and churches.
If you are able to partner with us financially, you can sign up to make regular direct debits, or to make a one off donation here.
Prayer is critical to the success of Crossroads ministry.
We believe that we have a God who answers the cries of his people.
We are ever-grateful for the faithful prayers of our partners.
If you are interested in receiving our regular prayer updates you can sign here.
Crossroads has been experiencing an increasingly difficult financial position over the past six months, and unfortunately we now find ourselves in a position where we are no longer able to afford to employ Mike Eastman as our Director.
This has been a difficult decision, made with heavy hearts, as Mike's leadership has resulted in a number of wonderful initiatives commencing, and sizeable growth in our offshore student numbers.
The Committee wish to place on record our thanks to Mike for his wonderful leadership over the past 20 months, and to make clear that this decision is in no way a reflection on the character or actions of Mike, which have always been above reproach.
God's work continues though, and our team of volunteers at the office are still hard at work processing lessons, and answering your calls.
We also urgently need funding to continue the work of Crossroads, so if you are able to partner with us and donate additional funds at this time you can do so here.
The Committee have released a letter to our supporters explaining this decision in more detail, and that can be found here.
Thank you for your continuing support in prayer, donations, and through your mentoring of our students.
We trust in God's sovereignty to continue His work in the prisons throughout Australia and the region.
Crossroads is thankful to be in ministry partnership with a number of organisations. You can check them out via the links below.


Today I was shopping at M_____d's for two items. I was looking for shop rags and floor dry for my husband'sworkshop. I walked into the store and went over to the department where tools, nails those sorts of things are sold and asked if they could help me. They told me that shop rags were in automotive and a very nice lady walked me over to the automotive department where we found one type of shop rag (there were two sizes listed in the sale flyer). I ask her if the floor dry might be there also. We could not find the floor dry. Another fellow came by and he said the floor drive was in by check out lane number three. There were two types of shop rags and I was looking for the other type so I asked somebody where they might be. "Shouldn't they be together?" He said "No, the other ones are back in the paint supply area". Well the painting supplies are on the other end of the store. I was in the front left corner and paint supplies are in the back right corner. Well, off I went to find the other shop rags. I got to painting supplies and they told me they the shop rags were in plumbing. Plumbing is at the front of the store and paint supplies are at the back. Next, I headed up to plumbing and I couldn't find anyone to help me. I looked and looked and looked and no assistants were there. I was getting a bit frustrated by this time. I went to the desk and tried using their phone to call the operator. No luck, I got a busy signal so obviously that wasn't working. Next I found a business card sitting on the desk so I called the general number to the store. That did not work so I tried dialing nine to get an outside line, but it still didn't work. I tried calling just out loud and still no one came. I thought: "I bet if I tried to rob the store somebody would come", but I wasn't willing to resort to that. Finally, after about 10 minutes I saw somebody stocking shelves at the back of the store. So I headed over to ask him where the shop rags were. He said they were by check out aisle number eight. This time he said he would take me. By this time, I had gone from the middle of the store to the front left corner where I was directed back to the back right corner and then back up to the front right corner. It's a big store. We finally found the shop rags that I was looking for. Shop rags in the cart so I thought I would head over to check out number three and find the floor dry. No floor dry. The young man at checkout number four was very helpful. He came to help me look as well. He couldn't find the item either so he went to ask a gal at the front desk. She said "It's in automotive." I said "No, I looked over there in fact a couple of us looked over there and couldn't find it." She said "Well it must be over there. Just keep looking." When you think about it, that's hysterical. But I wasn't laughing. It's kind of like a Bazooka comic I remember from when I was a kid. It went something like this: "I lost a nickel so I'm looking for it." "Where did you lose it?" "I lost it over there by that tree." "Why are you for it over here?" "I'm looking over here because the light is better." That's what that gals comment made me think of. If you can't find the floor dry in automotive, just go keep looking over there. (Did she a magic Genie was going to wave a wand and make it appear?) She didn't offer to send somebody over to help me. But, the obedient person that I am, off I went back to automotive and started going up and down the aisles looking. Shortly I saw another man from another department. He was helpful and started helping me try to find my floor dry and of course he couldn't find it either. He went over and asked another young man where it might be. This time this young man took me over to where it was in front of checkout aisle 3 near the front wall beyond the checkouts.
I don't know if you can gather I was a little frustrated with the whole situation. (The best part was that I had something to blog about.) Customer service is so important for any business. In my run-around, I did meet almost half of the employees that were very helpful. Unfortunately, I ran into several that were not helpful at all. And of course the one gal who told me to go continue looking in an area where I couldn't find what I was looking for is the one that was the most remarkable and stands out the most in my mind. It's unfortunate that so many employers have substandard people when it comes to customer service. There were a couple of other things I could have bought in that store, but I went to another store and finish up my shopping.
Does your team do a good job with your customers? If you think they do, are you sure? Your team is the face of your business and there is so much competition that if your employees are not treating your customers beyond their expectations, they may just take their business elsewhere.
I talk about having a strategy for your business and good customer service from the top down should be part of that strategy. Please contact me if you want to learn more or would like some help.


MK Electric say that in this day and age, it is commonplace for people to own a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop, and even a smartwatch, with many carrying three or more of these devices on their person at any one time1. Naturally then, the demand for power on the go has experienced a huge increase over the past decade. Here, Emma Segelov from MK Electric takes a closer look at how businesses can help expand their appeal to customers through the use of accessible charging points.
According to recent forecasts, it has been estimated that by 2022 there will be around 29 billion connected devices2. With this in mind, it is clear that people across the globe are becoming reliant on mobile devices for both personal and business use. When using them to check emails, send messages, flit between social media platforms, play games, navigate and shop online, amongst other functions, many people are left anxious to find a power source to recharge when they are out and about.
As such, there is an increasing appetite for charging points in public spaces such as cafes, airports and hotels, as well as buildings including offices and universities. For electrical specifiers and contractors, the requirement for power on the go has great potential, not only for new builds but also to upgrade existing facilities. Offering USB charging options is an opportunity to upsell, demonstrates a real understanding of a client's current and future needs, and offers a great value-added service to stand out from competitors, driving loyalty from customers who have had a positive user experience.
USB integrated sockets have proven to be particularly popular in environments such as universities and college student residences. Students today are part of the tech savvy millennial generation that has grown up with mobile phones and other devices, and these digital natives have a significant demand for charging points for their mobile tech.
For universities with a high proportion of international students, USB charging points offer an additional benefit of negating the use of adapters to charge devices in a conventional switchsocket, vastly improving safety and ease of use. USB charging also eliminates the need for PAT testing.
But the scope for USB charging points goes well beyond colleges and universities, and many other commercial environments such as coffee shops and hotels are now realising the potential these power points can offer to entice customers. After all, 21st century consumers are much more likely to spend an extended period in a setting if they have access to the technology they need.
It is simple and relatively inexpensive to install a USB charging switchsocket or module as part of a replacement of existing wiring devices or in new installations, so it should be a relatively straightforward upsell for specifiers in the know.
MK Electric was one of the first manufacturers to launch a USB module in 2013. Since then the company has integrated the technology into its switchsocket outlets. USB charging capability is now available within seven MK Electric wiring device ranges – Logic Plus, Metalclad Plus, Albany Plus, Edge, Aspect, Elements and the recently launched MK Dimensions offering a comprehensive range to suit multiple applications.
MK Electric's offering features innovative dynamic device recognition (DDR), which is specifically designed to detect charging configurations from a range of manufacturers and react accordingly for optimal and efficient charging.
What's more, USB sockets are easy to incorporate in refurb and retrofit opportunities as they can simply replace existing sockets. MK's Logic Plus range has been re-engineered to fit into a standard 25mm back box, allowing for a quick and easy installation. This is good news for refurb projects, as operating a simple product switch saves on time, resources and money, making the job efficient and effective.
Other installer benefits include backed out and captive terminal screws and upward facing terminals with a funnel entrance to make wiring and installation faster and easier on site. In line terminals, meanwhile, allow wires to be cut stripped to the same length to speed up the installation process.
Vertically stacked central USB ports on the MK Electric switchsockets provide access to virtually any standard 13A plug, including moulded plugs, and are electrically protected against an overload or short circuit to prevent damage to the socket and ensure user safety.
Importantly, like all MK Electric's switchsocket outlets, the USB integrated socket features a three pin child-resistant shutter system, designed to prevent access to the electricity supply unless all three pins of a standard British plug are in position.
The rise and rise of smart technology and mobile devices is creating an opportunity for specifiers to upgrade electrical installations to include USB charging points and meet the growing demand for power on the go. As well as an opportunity for specifiers to increase the value of installations, it is also an opportunity to showcase to potential clients the technology they should be installing to stay ahead of the curve and give their customers and users what they want. Mobile devices are here to stay, and we must adapt electrical installations to this brave new world.


As you go through life, you realize that what you do or say, is not nearly as important as how you do it or say it.
The tone of your voice, and the expression on your face, can sometimes betray the ill will in your heart, even when you are pretending to be friendly. How you do what you do, or how you say what you say, has a greater impact in another person, than the deed or speech itself.
Once all is said and done, people will remember what you left unsaid, because that which you hid in your heart, made them feel how they feel, after leaving you.
It is therefore not the actual words, or the visible deeds, that shape another person's feelings after meeting you, but rather the inner experience they leave with.
To bring it to perspective, can you ever forget how to ride a bike? The simple answer is NO! The memory on how to ride a bike is not stored as words, that you can share with another person, it is stored as an experience.
This experience cannot be packaged into words or letters, and passed around as a manual for future students, who wish to learn how to ride a bike.
It is the same thing for people who have that special knack, for making another person feel good about themselves. When you meet such people, you are happy and comfortable, as they head your way to talk to you, because they make you feel special.
It might not be their words or actions, but it is the genuineness of their actions, and their hearts making you feel at ease and trusting. In short, it is how they make you feel.
We do not go through life recalling the encouraging or motivating words a person said to us, or keep track of all the good things they do. As years pass by, the memories cease to be specific about those actions or words, but we will never forget how important that person made us feel.

When will they be tattooing us all?
There was a time, back in the 1960s and 1970s, during the Cold War era, when the country was ruled by the Trade Union Movement.
I had the misfortune – actually, it was more a fortune – to spend about 20 minutes sheltering in a doorway with an elderly lady.
Gaza, a concentration camp or not?
Recently, a commentator called 'IL' said this at the end of an article of mine (here) during which I wailed about the crimes against Palestinians.

Whether organic or inorganic, contaminants like dirt, dust and soot can be detrimental to your engine's performance. Soot makes up around 75-80% of the contamination in engine oil, and the resulting sludge can cause major problems.
Lube filters are designed to capture contaminants that cause engine wear. The type and size of media in your lube filter also impacts its effectiveness in removing contamination. Did you know filters should NEVER reach their dirt holding capacity?
Many manufacturers provide results for dirt holding capacities based on lab tests, not real world conditions, and don't take into consideration sludge holding capacity.
Here's how to make sure you're choosing the best lube filtration products for your equipment.


Front Message: You are there. I am here.
Inside Message: But I hug you with my heart every single day. Miss you.
It only takes a moment to send a smile, to lift someone's spirit, to make the world a better place. Send sweet wishes to someone who lives long-distance with this whimsically-illustrated card that lets them know that even though you're far away, you hug them with your heart every day.
Miss You card features embossed design and foil.
This card hit the mark! It said exactly the message I needed without being too over done or dramatic.
When it's been a while and you want to send a pick me up to someone, this card is good for letting the one you love know you are thinking about them.
Again, another card to my Grandchild. I just wanted to remind her that even though she was in GA and I was in DE, I still think of her every day. So, you are there and I am here was most appropriate and of course she loved it. You need to sell more stickers for the upcoming holidays especially. It would be appreciated much. Thanks!
Can't wait to send this to a fam member who I love to buy and send miss you/thinking of you cards to. Thank you Hallmark...keep them coming!!!
This card was the perfect pick-me-up for my very best friend age 76 who recently moved to an apartment with no phone, tv, or internet. She is disabled and living alone. Her new apartment was in a new seniors complex that had issues with phone, tv, & internet not being hooked up for 1 1/2 months. We live far away from each other and have not physically seen each other in over 12 years. Thank you Hallmark for having the ability to send & sign cards...I will be using this often as I too am disabled and unable to get out to purchase cards or even mail them on my own.
I'm moving in November I got this for my cuz. She's going be here and I will be there and it will be a good to send to her.
