Reall, the international funding partner of LinkBuild, conducted a weeklong visit to the Philippines to monitor and gather updates on institution's activities and programs. The team composed of Reall Partner Investment Managers Prashant Solanky, Adam Dawson and Nat Daniels, carried out several workshops with LB and its other Philippine Alliance partners from December 5 – 10, 2016, discussing particularly LinkBuild's capacity as a Housing Development Enterprise in crafting its own products and securing its niche in the market. The financial, technical, social and environmental aspects of programme, projects and products were all tackled, recognizing the importance of integrating these elements.
In this discussion, LinkBuild's and the Alliance's ongoing and past housing projects were reviewed, differentiating between product typologies that evolved across regions, and looking at the conceptualization and materialization stages and processes undertaken thereof. At conceptualization stage, the participatory process was highlighted given that all housing designs were developed from community inputs, with the guidance of technical professionals from the Alliance.
The concept of developing a 'product library' was introduced by Reall to LinkBuild. Having product library will help to systematically archive products developed from previous projects – documenting detailed information on all aspects involving product development, from technical details to strategic objectives and risk plans, and even up to reporting templates used. All this information will serve as good reference for more efficient project conceptualization, development and implementation; where, for example, in planning a new project, a specific product or a particular detail of such product, could easily be drawn from the library and either directly applied or modified to suit a new project, without having to reinvent the wheel. As one of the workshop outcomes, LinkBuild was encouraged to create and develop its own product library.
The discussion equally emphasized the importance of 'financial development' as an important component of project development, and which should be prepared alongside the technical requirements. Assessing and mitigating project risks also became part of the discussion, and the importance of having an 'exit strategy' in every project was pointed out.
As there is an expectation for LinkBuild to go into scale with its housing projects, the importance of improving efficiency to achieve this, was discussed. LinkBuild was also reminded that when it sells houses, it should not just consider the house as the only product it sells; rather, it should look at the whole development and the quality of the external environment.
A point was also made that scaling-up does not only mean an increase in quantity but also an improvement in quality and grade of products. It may be good for LinkBuild to focus on products where it has most experience in and can do best, such as incremental housing. By doing so, it can create a brand or identity distinct to itself.
In the Philippines, incremental infrastructure development is already in practice; for instance, the phases of road development from graded and compacted to graveled, and eventually to concrete. This is an offshoot of balancing between expediency of community need and limited budget for development. During the workshop, Reall presented some innovations in incremental infrastructure development and some practices in other countries, from which LinkBuild may be able to draw ideas from.
One of the topics discussed at length is sanitation; as this is one of the major challenges in the current LinkBuild land and housing projects. The institution is currently exploring viable wastewater treatment systems that would be best suited for its projects at reasonable cost. Reall also made a visit to LinkBuild's project site in Talisay City, as well as to a nearby community water system, after which advice was given on how to approach the whole of issue of sanitation design.
Another challenge raised during the workshop was for LinkBuild to look at creating sustainable neighborhoods for its clients. This highlights the importance of creating social and environmental impact by addressing the social aspects of the community - an intangible area of study but an important factor to consider in planning residential developments. The challenge is on how to do housing that does not only focus on the structure and physical infrastructure only, but also creates an environment where people live harmoniously without worries.
On December 10, the last day of Reall's visit, the team flew to Cebu to visit the Paknaan Core Housing Project in Mandaue City, and the Sitio Caniba property in Talisay City which is currently being acquired by LinkBuild for a housing project with the informal settlers of the property.

My Week in Manga: February 2-February 8, 2015
My News and Reviews
A small variety of posts went up at Experiments in Manga last week. First up, the Cinderalla manga giveaway winner was announced. The contest was a tie-in to the Female Goth Mangaka Carnival, so the post also includes a list of the featured creators' manga available in English. The first in-depth manga review for February was Saki Nakagawa's Attack on Titan: Junior High, a parody spinoff of the immensely popular Attack on Titan franchise. The series' funniness can be somewhat uneven, but it can be absolutely hilarious at times. And posted over the weekend was January's Bookshelf Overload, revealing the absurd amount of manga that came into my household last month.
Elsewhere online, Viz Media's Shojo Beat announced two new licenses: QQ Sweeper by Kyousuke Motomi (the creator of Dengeki Daisy, which I rather enjoy) and Idol Dreams by Arina Tanemura. Organization Anti-Social Geniuses posted The Very Unofficial Guide to Discovering Manga in 2015, which is a nice overview of demographics, publishers, where to read and buy manga, and so on. Den of Geek has an interview with comics historian Graham Kolbeins, one of the editors behind Massive: Gay Erotic Manga and the Men Who Make It and The Passion of Gengoroh Tagame: The Master of Gay Erotic Manga. Finally, Otaku USA interviews Patrick Macias about Hypersonic Music Club, his collaboration with artist Hiroyuki Takahashi and the first of Crunchyroll Manga's original series.
Sky Link by Shiro Yamada. Like many boys' love mangaka, before making her professional debut Yamada started by creating doujinshi (she seems to have been particularly fond of pairing Gintoki and Hijikata from Gin Tama together). Sky Link is Yamada's first original manga and is currently the only work of hers available in English. The volume collects two unrelated boys' love stories, the titular "Sky Link" and "You through a Kaleidoscope." Unfortunately, neither of the short manga are particularly satisfying; while her artwork can at times be quite lovely (occasionally her characters' eyes are unintentionally creepy), Yamada definitely has room to grow as a storyteller. "Sky Link" had too many disparate elements to it. It could have worked quite well as a longer series, but as a short story Yamada didn't have enough time to effectively develop the plot or characters and everything is left frustratingly vague. Ritsuki is a first year college student with some sort of troubled past who has caught the attention and affections of one of his new professors who, it is later revealed, has a troubled past of his own. "You through a Kaleidoscope," a fairly standard high school boys' love romance, isn't as ambitious but is more successful as a result.
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Omnibuses 1-2 (equivalent to Volumes 1-6) by CLAMP. I originally read the first few volumes of Tsubasa back when it was being released by Del Rey. Because I was borrowing it from the library and people had a tendency to steal volumes Tsubasa and its sort-of crossover series xxxHolic, I never got very far with the series. I'm glad that Kodansha is bringing Tsubasa back into print, because it really is an immensely enjoyable adventure tale. And because the setting is constantly moving from one dimension to the next, CLAMP is able to have a lot of fun with the clothing designs and worldbuilding from one short story arc to the next. The drive of the series is the search for Princess Sakura's memory, pieces of which have been scattered throughout space and time, but the remembrances of her and the other characters form an important part of the story as well. I do think I'm enjoying Tsubasa a little more my second time trying to read it. I've now been exposed to more of CLAMP's work, so I can better appreciate the references being made and the alternate-dimension versions of characters from the group's other manga. (Seeing couples originally from X actually have a chance at happiness is both touching and heart-wrenching.)
UQ Holder!, Volume 3 by Ken Akamatsu. I enjoyed the third volume of UQ Holder more than I did the first two, but the series has yet to win me over. It seems as though the manga is starting to focus a bit more, which it desperately needed to do, but that may simply be because Akamatsu spends very little time on trying to develop a coherent plot and primarily sticks with the action sequences. The third volume is almost entirely devoted to a sequence of fight scenes. Right now the battles in UQ Holder are probably my favorite thing about the series. They are entertaining, exciting, and extremely energetic. And because immortals are involved, they can be pretty epic, too. The damage inflicted on both persons and property is impressive. Many of the characters, even the non-immortals, have superhuman powers of some sort. Incredible strength, quick regeneration, shape-shifting, and magic—either alone or in combination—are only a few examples of the over-the-top abilities found in UQ Holder. But as entertaining as the battles can be, from time to time the action is unclear. Something will happen and it will be extremely difficult to understand exactly what or how. I'm not even going to try to attempt to explain why Yukihime suddenly loses her skirt for seemingly no reason.
Filed Under: Features, My Week in Manga Tagged: CLAMP, Ken Akamatsu, Manga, Shiro Yamada, Tsubasa, UQ Holder
I still don't think I'm ever going to be a big CLAMP fan, something I kind of wish I could be. Though I do like xxxHolic, much to even my surprise (damn comic shop seems to have no copies of Legal Drug though, who knows when they'll get more, they're random like that, but generally reliable and cheap, so I can't be angry with them)
I don't think I'd necessarily consider myself a huge CLAMP fan, but I seem to consistently enjoy (or at least be entertained by) their work. CLAMP has really grown on me over the years. Although, I do tend to latch onto the manga that frustratingly will probably never be finished. (Clover is a personal favorite, and X is a series that for me is so bad it's good.)
I remember Sky Link it was okay, I have a friend of mine that loves Tsubasa but it feels like Clamp had run out of original ideas by the time that series and XXXholic came out. I was a huge Clamp fan than Tokyo Babylon killed whatever love I had for them.
Tsubasa is a lengthy series. So far I'm enjoying it, but I'm curious to see how long CLAMP will be able to keep the manga interesting. It's been a while since I've read Tokyo Babylon, but I remember not liking it nearly as well as many other people I know. At some point I'd like to try reading the manga again to see if my opinion of the series changes at all, especially as it ties in with X (which I enjoy in all of its excessively melodramatic glory).

SUNDAYARTS BLOG
Announcement: SundayArts Becomes NYC-ARTS
by Phil Alongi
SundayArts, the Tri-State Area's Premier Arts Showcase, to Relaunch in Primetime as NYC-ARTS
Beginning Thursday, February 2 at 8 p.m. on THIRTEEN
Newly expanded Web site, mobile apps, and social media components to provide unprecedented arts coverage on multiple platforms.
SundayArts, THIRTEEN's weekly arts and culture showcase for the tri-state area, will be relaunched as a primetime series—now with multiple digital platforms—called NYC-ARTS, airing Thursday nights at 8 p.m. on THIRTEEN, beginning February 2, 2012. Encore presentations will follow on Sundays in SundayArts' former timeslot of 12 noon on THIRTEEN; Fridays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. on WLIW; and Sundays at 8:30 p.m. on NJTV. New episodes will also be available on NYC-ARTS.org every Thursday at 8:30 pm.
Since it premiered in 2008, SundayArts has provided arts lovers in the tri-state area with an all-access pass to the New York City area's myriad cultural offerings: from music and dance concerts, to the theater, museums and galleries—from the classic to the contemporary.
New York Emmy winners Philippe de Montebello and Paula Zahn will continue to co-host the revamped series. The program will now originate from the Tisch WNET Studios at Lincoln Center.
The popular Feature/Profiles and Curator's Choice segments seen each week on SundayArts will continue on NYC-ARTS, along with the events around town reported by News Correspondent Christina Ha.
The NYC-ARTS digital platforms were developed by the Alliance for the Arts. This partnership between NYC-ARTS and WNET began in March 2011, when the SundayArts site began including the NYC ARTS Top Five events each week on its blog, and continued in the summer when the new ThirteenArts mobile app launched with event listings provided by NYC-ARTS.org. NYC-ARTS digital is now under the management of WNET.
"We're tremendously excited about the opportunity to relaunch SundayArts as NYC-ARTS," said Executive Producer David Horn. "Our commitment to bring viewers the best in the world of arts and culture from the tri-state area is stronger than ever, and with the move to primetime, the newly expanded Web site, we're able to connect more New Yorkers to the arts in more ways while broadening our reach in the community."
With this relaunch, NYC-ARTS will be the single most comprehensive resource about the arts in New York City. NYC-ARTS.org and its mobile apps include thousands of New York City arts and cultural organizations and their events, programs and services. NYCkidsARTS.org provides parents and teachers with the resources they need to connect kids with the arts. NYC-ARTS is also a daily communicator of arts news and discourse via its weekly emails and robust social media presence. (The present SundayArts Web site will continue to be active for the time being.)
"WNET understands that New York's arts scene is one of the reasons people fall in love with this vibrant and exciting city of ours," said Daniel Greenberg, General Manager of the Interactive Engagement Group. "The new NYC-ARTS offers New Yorkers and tourists alike an accessible way to engage with the arts whenever, and wherever they are."
There are free NYC-ARTS Smartphone apps which can be found by searching NYC ARTS in the iTunes App store and Android marketplace. These will offer up-to-the-minute listings in your immediate area and video features about many of the city's cultural gems. A podcast of NYC-ARTS is also available on iTunes.
On the NYC-ARTS premiere show on February 2nd, the Feature/Profile focuses on the Morrison Hotel Gallery on Prince Street in Soho. Here the art of photography merges with the world of pop/rock music, preserving remarkable moments in time.
The Curator's Choice is part of an initiative by the National Endowment for the Humanities called Picturing America on Screen. It takes a look at the work of artist Romare Bearden, one of the most original American artists of the 20th century. Christina Ha reports on events around town from the Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture, including the current exhibition there: "Staging Fashion, 1880 – 1920: Jane Hading, Lily Elsie, Billie Burke."
NYC-ARTS is a production of THIRTEEN in association with WNET, one of America's most prolific and respected public media providers. For nearly 50 years, WNET has been producing and broadcasting national and local arts programming to the New York community.
Executive Producer: David Horn. Editorial Director: Joan Hershey. Supervising Producer: Mitch Owgang. Senior Producer: Bob Morris. For the digital platforms, General Manager: Dan Greenberg. Director of Product Management: Joe Harrell.

La Befreiungshalle («Sala de la Liberación») es un monumento histórico clásico de Alemania erigido sobre el monte Michelsberg, en la ciudad de Kelheim, en Baviera. Está cerca de Ratisbona en la ribera del río Danubio, en la confluencia con el Altmühl, y el canal Rin-Meno-Danubio.

Historia

El rey Luis I de Baviera ordenó la construcción de la Befreiungshalle para conmemorar las victorias contra Napoleón I durante las Guerras napoleónicas entre 1813 y 1815.

La construcción comenzó en 1842 por Friedrich von Gärtner en una mezcla de estilos clásicos y cristianos. A pedido del rey, Leo von Klenze alteró los planes hasta completar el edificio en 1863. La apertura ceremonial tomó lugar el 18 de octubre de 1863 — en el 50.º aniversario de la Batalla de las Naciones (Völkerschlacht) cerca de Leipzig.

Arquitectura

La fachada cuenta con dieciocho columnas coronadas por el mismo número de estatuas alegóricas de la lucha del ejército alemán. La sala central tiene un diámetro de veintinueve metros.

Las siguientes frases dichas por el rey Luis I, fueron grabadas en el suelo de mármol, conmemorando la construcción de la Befreiungshalle:

Esta inscripción dedicatoria puede ser encontrada debajo de la puerta ornamentada de la puerta de entrada:

EDITORS NOTE: WE APOLOGISE FOR THE SLIGHT QUALITY FAULTS IN THIS FILM, BUT IN VIEW OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STORY, IT IS BEING SERVICED AS RECEIVED.
Background: On Friday morning (June 19th) a tank unit shelled the Presidential Palace in Santiago, Chile, but later surrendered after being repulsed by Loyalist troops. Six people were killed and eighteen wounded. But by the afternoon, the streets were safe enough for demonstrations supporting Marxist President Salvador Allende.
Santiago remained under the strict control of the army and a curfew was imposed. However, in accordance with their tradition of none-interference, many Loyalist units withdrew to their barracks after it was clear they were not needed. Defence Minister Senor Jose Toha came to inspect the scene. After the shooting, around 200,000 supporters of President Allende's coalition government poured into the city centre in a display of allegiance. Later President Allended who had not been in residence at the time of the shooting, addressed them from a balcony. He told them that he would ask Congress to declare a ninety-day 'State of Siege', but said that they did not have the power to close Congress. The majority in Congress is opposed to his government.
Colonel Roberto Souper, alleged to be the ring-leader and about 100 soldiers were later reported to be in custody.
Dr. Allende came to power in 1970 as the first freely-elected Marxist head of state in the Western World. His main pledge was to nationalise the country's basic resources -- copper, iron and nitrates. But the fact that his coalition government is in a minority in both houses of parliament has led to much legislation being blocked. Also food shortages have caused unrest. Even before the tank incident, Santiago Province had been put under military control, following an assassination attempt on Army Commander-in-Chief, General Carlos Prats.
SYNOPSIS: Santiago, the capital of Chile, remained under the strict control of the army of Friday afternoon, after a tank unit had shelled the Presidential Palace in the morning. But the tanks were easily driven off by Loyalist guards and most of the rebel troops surrendered.
Six people were killed and eighteen wounded in the two-hour gun battle.
Some tanks tried to escape when it became clear the rest of the army was against them.
Although the fighting was fierce and some civilians were killed, the attack was not sustained. Later it was reported that Colonel Roberto Souper, who is alleged to be the ring-leader, and about 100 troops were being held in custody.
A curfew was imposed on several evenings following the incident.
But on Friday afternoon around 200,000 supporters of President Allende's coalition government poured into the city centre in a spontaneous display of allegiance.
The Minister of Defence Jose Toha -- in civilian clothing -- was among the troops.
Although troops were in evidence, many of the Loyalist units withdraw when it became clear that they would not be needed. This is in accordance with a tradition of non-interference in state matters.
The mass of demonstrators came from the Central Labour Organisation. When President Allende announced over the radio that the revolt was finished, they filled the streets chanting 'Allende, Allende, the people defend you', and 'The Left, United, can never be defeated'.
President Allende was not in the Presidential Palace, known as 'La Moneda', at the time of the attack, but returned while sniper fire was still underway.
Later he addressed a mass rally. To the cries of the crowd that Congress should be closed, he replied that this could not be done without another election. His government is in a minority in both Houses of Parliament and this has frequently led to the blocking of legislation. He is pledged to nationalise major industries.

The warm welcome from the Church of Ireland helped a Catholic relish diversity in Britain
By Andrew C. Chan	 Last updated Sep 27, 2021
Declan McSweeney returned to England more than ten years ago after being sacked. He worked in journalism in Ireland and London when he was younger and now works in the retail industry which has involved travel all over England and Scotland.
I recently found myself reflecting on how the first experiences of friendships across the Christian denomination division in Tullamore, Co Offaly prepared me for life in Britain, with its greater religious diversity.
The major minority in my youth in Tullamore was, of course, the Church of Ireland community, with a much smaller number of Methodists and Presbyterians, as well as the Jehovah's Witness community.
I'm old enough to remember when even listening to a Church of Ireland service on the radio was considered a sin for Catholics like me, but by the 1970s I felt like that things were changing and that it was no longer taboo to enter churches of another denomination.
Every Christmas I found myself attending the Nine Lessons and Songs Service at St Catherine's, the local church of the Church of Ireland, and the warmth of welcome there is something I always remember. As a student at Coláiste Choilm, Tullamore, I remember mixed messages when it comes to interacting with other faiths.
A Christian Brother pointed to the stained glass window of Saint Catherine and said "Here is the Church established", even though the Church of Ireland had ceased to be established in 1869! He also claimed that the British Queen was his leader, which of course is totally wrong.
I think these experiences have helped me prepare for many aspects of life in Britain, living alongside and working with many Anglicans and people of other Christian faiths, but also with Muslims and Jews, Hindus and Sikhs.
Some lay teachers have taken a more inclusive approach. I remember, in particular, the late John Cahill, professor of history, giving us an exercise to write the names of 10 Protestant denominations, so that we do not think only of "Catholic and Protestant", since many Catholics have no idea of the difference between the Church of Ireland and the Presbyterian Church, let alone the Plymouth brethren or the Pentecostals of Elim. I also remember another teacher, Murty Davoren, asking a classmate of mine from the Church of Ireland to tell the class about the rector's sermon the previous Sunday.
I was also very aware that my parents had good friends in other faiths and thus realized that the stereotypes of some Catholics are far from reality. I am referring to the stereotypes of the Church of Ireland, in particular, which were associated with the land nobility and had associations in the past with the mistreatment of Catholics. I soon realized that such ideas obscured the wide variety of social backgrounds and political ideologies among members of the Church in Ireland. They also reflect a historical misunderstanding that some Protestants were also persecuted by Catholics in countries where they had power, for example the Huguenots in France, the Palatins in Germany, the Vaudois in Italy. It is good to see that Pope Francis has recognized this: Pope Francis apologizes for persecution of Pentecostals.
Shortly before my father's death, I remember seeing RTÉ with him show a part of a synod of the Church of Ireland, during which Ivan Yates was applauded by the bishops when he criticized sections of the Unionist population in Northern Ireland for the treatment of Catholics, and I remember very well how impressed my father was with this.
During over 18 years working with the now closed Offaly Express, I found myself interacting closely with members of the Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Methodist communities, who were involved in a wide range of community groups. .
I remember the helpfulness of successive Presidents – the late Canon AT Waterstone and his successors, Canons Alistair Grimason and Gerald Field, and I was especially grateful to the latter for his support of my family.
I realized that I had my own wrong stereotypes, for example, of the Jewish community
I think these experiences have helped me prepare for many aspects of life in Britain, living alongside and working with many Anglicans and people of other Christian faiths, but also with Muslims and Jews, Hindus and Sikhs. I realized that I had my own wrong stereotypes, for example, of the Jewish community.
Seeing Jews in a wide range of jobs and living in social housing in areas such as Stamford Hill in London or the Lower Broughton area of Salford opened my eyes, as I was largely unaware of the existence. of so much poverty within the Jewish community – for example the fact that some of its members had to rely on community food banks to get through Pesach (Passover, is one of the most important religious holidays on the Jewish calendar and this is when the Jews commemorate the liberation of the children of Israel, who were led out of Egypt by Moses.) The Jews celebrated Easter since around 1300 BC.
I have also observed that there are ethnic variations within different faith groups, for example meeting white Sikhs and black Jews.
What was especially new in Britain, however, was meeting an evangelical Christianity that was largely unknown to me in Ireland, making friends with people involved in groups with a strong focus on preaching the gospel. , and also on social action. On the other side of the Christian spectrum was the phenomenon of high church Anglicanism, something I had never encountered in Ireland – seeing Anglican churches where the Rosary is recited, and meeting Anglican nuns and women. Third Order Franciscans, made me realize just how complex Christian divisions can be.
I have been impressed by the depth of cooperation in many parts of England between the various Christian organizations, and increasingly with other faith groups as well. We hear a lot about religious conflicts, but I can only be impressed, for example, by the effort British Jews are making to welcome Afghan refugees and show solidarity with Uyghurs in China, or the ways Jews and Muslims worked togetherto fight the hatred of one or the other group.
I like to think that these first memories of Saint Catherine and welcoming neighbors to the Church of Ireland was in a way a preparation for engaging with a wide range of communities.

The Geneseo equestrian team fielded eight riders at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Region Two Championship at Lehman Farms on Saturday April 6. Senior rider Nicole Solazzo qualified for IHSA Zone Finals on Sunday April 7, also at Lehman Farms.
Ten schools represent the IHSA in Zone Two, Region Two. There are six divisions within a horse show, and Geneseo Equestrian represented riders in five of them.
Senior rider Alishah Bhimani explained that there are many tough teams in this region, including St. Lawrence University who is in first place and Cazenovia University who is third place, and that just qualifying is a great accomplishment.
The judge ranks riders for their equitation and horsemanship. Senior captain Sydney Hollasch explained that judges vary based on what they are looking for.
Bhimani described how horsemanship also depends on the horse, which is chosen at random in all shows.
For Zones, the riders had to place in the top two spots of their class that either had a minimum of six riders and a maximum of 15 riders. Many of the eight riders received ribbons.
Head coach Kim Sanford was happy with the team's performance.
Solazzo was one of 15 riders in her class, which is an impressive feat, according to Bhimani.
"We always have at least one person going to Zones from Geneseo and it was really nice that in such a big class [Solazzo] got it," Bhimani said.
At Zones, Solazzo rode in the Advanced Walk Trot Canter class and placed sixth in the state which is a great accomplishment for her and the team.
Although the season is over, Hollasch is grateful for what she has learned.
"I think I'm more confident. That is one of the things my coach worked with me a lot when I was a freshman and a sophomore, that is building my confidence. Being captain this year and being junior captain last year helped build me up," Hollasch said.
The equestrian team had quite a season, with first-year rider Katy Munn receiving seventh place in the region based on points and Solazzo qualifying and placing at Zones.
Overall, the team also received fourth place in the region for the number of points received during the season.


Founded in 1910, Mount Royal University operates three campuses under an annual budget of nearly $200 million. The school has a student body of 14,175 and approximately 2,400 full- and part-time employees.
To assess products and solutions, the University published a request for information. "It was important to see who was out there and interested in doing business with us," said Reed. Based on the results, four manufacturers were invited to submit formal proposals. Cut to three finalists, Reed noted that the hardware each proposed shared similarities. The major difference in the proposals lay not in the products but in the companies themselves and their desire to do business with Mount Royal.
"Lexmark's financial offer was the strongest and most flexible, allowing us to add units to the lease as our needs grew." Lexmark also differentiated itself by proposing fulfillment and on-site support through PrinterWorks West, a highlyregarded, local Alberta-based solution provider.
After analyzing the finalists' proposals and performing proof-of-concept testing, Mount Royal chose to lease MFP technology and supporting solutions from Lexmark, fulfilled through PrinterWorks West. In its drive toward achieving environmental sustainability, Mount Royal singled out Lexmark's dedication and specific solutions for reducing paper consumption.
We were particularly impressed with Lexmark's commitment to minimize the environmental footprint throughout the supply chain from cradle to grave, including end-of-life recycling.
"All companies are doing a better job with regard to sustainability, but we were particularly impressed with Lexmark's commitment to minimize the environmental footprint throughout the supply chain from cradle to grave, including end-of-life recycling," Reed said.
By eliminating the time gap between printing and document pickup, print release ensures that forgotten print jobs do not pile up, avoiding paper and toner waste. Jobs not printed within a specified timeframe are deleted from the queue automatically and therefore never printed at all.
Lexmark worked with our local dealer to ensure that equipment would be available in the short turnaround time from contract negotiation to implementation. They pulled strings across the entire North American distribution network to get inventory to us.
Device availability has improved. The Lexmark MFPs consume less electricity than the older devices they replaced. Thanks to Lexmark Print Release, users are printing less and have embraced the idea of using a card swipe to initiate printing. In addition to providing software that tracks usage, Lexmark engineers developed software for Mount Royal that provides specific tracking of color printing as well. Reduced paper, toner and electrical consumption, driven largely by Lexmark Print Release, along with lower maintenance costs have cut the University's overall outputrelated expenditures by 14%.
"Lexmark has hit on all the objectives we established at the outset. We were aware of Lexmark's excellent reputation; we knew they were a 'big-league' company and had no concerns," Reed said.
Universities, driven by socially concerned students and faculty, have become leaders in environmental awareness. By adopting sustainable, recyclable and environmentally conscious output solutions from Lexmark that reduce paper use and electrical consumption, Mount Royal University continues to abide by one of its key tenets: A life changed today, a life to be changed tomorrow.


Barcelona is regularly rated as one of the most artistic of Europe's cities. Much of this phenomenal legacy is free to explore and a big attraction for a weekend in Spain.
Barcelona is a fairy-tale city that's brimming with architecture and art that rivals (or arguably exceeds) that of most other European cities.
The really good news is that you don't need a vast budget to discover the best of the artistic backdrop here, as there is plenty you can enjoy for free over a weekend in Spain.
In passing, yes, Gaudi is the city's most famous artist and architect but there's so much more, too!
The incredible La Sagrada Familia is like nothing else. Descriptions and photos cannot do it justice but you don't need to even find the entrance fee because so much can be obtained from admiring the architecture from the outside.
On your way there, if you stroll along the 'Modernism Route', you'll pass the Casa Mila and the Casa Amatller, which are both fantasy houses that look more like they were designed as a theatre set!
Barcelona is also famous for Joan Miro and the 'Fundacio' set up to display his work. There is a modest entrance charge to get into the Fundacio but note also that Miro's work is widely visible throughout the city and much of that is available to admire entirely free of charge. These cost savings can make a weekend in Spain break to Barcelona just that bit more affordable.
Don't forget also the Parc de Joan Miro with its wonderful sculptures and look out for his amazing mosaics on Las Ramblas.
On Sundays, most of the museums here are free – worth keeping in mind if you're on a budget!
• Frank Gehry's 'Peix' on the seafront.
Most people taking a weekend in Spain break arrive by air. A flight from London airports to Barcelona takes only two hours. You may opt to take the train or drive to Barcelona, but this can be a long and tiresome journey – albeit a scenic one!
In terms of transfers, Barcelona airport is a short and easy ride into the city, only about 25 minutes. The public transport system in the city centre is excellent. Airport buses run at regular intervals into the city, with total journey time running about 40 minutes.
Hostal Grau – A good budget hotel well positioned for Las Ramblas. An eco-friendly and family-run establishment, the rooms are simple but stylish and all come with private bathrooms. The restaurant is charmingly eccentric and serves excellent local dishes.
The Catalonia Catedral – This hotel offers good mid-priced accommodation in the city.
The modern building has a terrace, garden and a rooftop swimming pool. The rooms are beautifully decorated and provide the latest amenities. A big plus point is that the hotel has a stylish bar and a brassiere with great views of the Palacio Pignatelli Gallery.
Majestic Hotel & Spa Barcelona GL – For those who don't mind spending a little extra, the Majestic Hotel is a fantastic choice. This luxury hotel offers steam baths, a sauna and related treatments. Then there's the fitness centre, rooftop swimming pool, terrace and wonderful views, all of which help to set this stunning hotel apart. All in all, a wonderful hotel in a fantastic location for a weekend in Spain holiday – if your budget so permits!

I hate to post this here, but it's my best option. I was out of town for almost a week and when I'm out of town I can't drop peoples' submissions onto my hard drive. That's usually not a big deal, unless people send me large files and fill up my inbox. I did get some big ones and I'm afraid that one sent to me from Carlos yesterday was the last straw and I was forced to delete it to prevent other e-mails from getting rejected. I couldn't even send Carlos a response because when the box fills up, I can't even send any out. So, Carlos, please resend and shrink that file down to 72 dpi and under 1 mb. Thanks.
I really should address this in the submission guidelines.
And his take on this is pretty awesome. I like all of it-the second comic of 'true love' bleeding through, the cannibal child, the garbage pale sticker, the colors..all of it. Pretty nice stuff.
This is really killer, one of the best. I sort of dislike the sticker only because I want to see another little fellow.
I've only deleted comments that have been spam. Although yours wasn't, Colon, I couldn't see how your link was on topic so I trashed it.


When people reach out to us a huge reason is because they want to learn how to make money with their blog. This is awesome!
When people have looked at some of our past income reports they will ask where does the freelance/sponsored income come from.
The answer is often sponsored posts.
We try to spread out our income streams as much as possible so if we have bad month in one area we still can keep our business chugging along.
So to supplement our ad revenue and products revenue we turned to sponsored posts.
This all started when I was breaking down some Pinch Of Yum income reports trying to figure out how they were so successful. I noticed that they made a good percentage of income from these posts and thought if we could generate the same percentage of our income from them we could massively grow our income.
Lacey and I got together and decided we would start responding to emails that asked for us to give coverage of a product with a response we worked up offering a sponsored posts. We only did this for brands and content that Lacey liked and used. We wanted to make sure that they served a purpose for our audience.
Since we are a healthy food blog doing a frozen tv dinner post wouldn't make sense. In fact it would probably be very off putting to our audience and damage our trust.
So, why sponsored content? Well the main reason was to grow revenue and provide solutions for our audience. When we started looking for these opportunities Lacey was the only one working full time. We hadn't brought my brother on full time yet although we had started videos.
Lacey had always wanted to work with a few healthy brands we use over and over again. This seemed like the perfect opportunity.
We would get to make recipes with brands we liked, used and would recommend anyway. Plus, we get income from these posts which helps leverage our size and skills and grows the business.
The brands get exposure to our audience and our audience gets solutions to their problems. Win win win.
On top of this the sponsored posts and videos just look much better than ads anyway to if we can get enough of them going then we can reduce and/or eliminate ads on the site.
Sometimes brands will reach out usually by email.
When they do make sure to have a good response ready to send back.
Remember they are asking for you to do something for them it's ok to have a counter offer.
One brand reached out with a new product they had and Lacey quickly drew up an email to send to them. Basically, saying we would love to work with them but only on a sponsored post and that currently we aren't offering free coverage (at the time we didn't have a media kit).
They got back to us right away and asked for a media kit. We had to hustle but quickly make one and replied with our rate which at the time was like $300-$400 bucks (we will dive into rates later in the post).
The quickly said yes and we have worked with them ever since.
Now this isn't the way it always works. Sometimes you need to be more aggressive and reach out to other brands.
With one success under our belt we started reaching out to other brands that Lacey really admired and used. We sent out 5 emails to start and got two responses and 1 deal.
This rate so far has been pretty much on par for expectations. Every few months we might reach out to a handful of brands we use and get a few responses and a one new deal.
The thing to be aware of is every company is slightly different. They have different rules for working with them. Some want you to submit an application and some you will have to reach out to by email and hunt down who to send it to.
When making a list of brands stay true to your won brand. Think about how your audience will feel about this brand and how you personally feel about it. You don't want to jeopardize your business for someone else's product if you don't believe in it.
Make sure you lead with a strong opening email.
You want to show that you know their brand have used it and that your audience will resonate with it.
We go over a few points that we bring to the table and provide some ideas for the topic we think will resonate well with the audience.
When we first got started we had no media kit. However, after an email came back saying a brand was interested we needed to create one and fast.
Luckily, Lacey is good with canva and I had just read about media kits and how to make one. So we got to work.
A Media Kit is basically a 1-2 page document that highlights your blog and business selling points.
When we started out we also wanted to make it easy for people to work with us again. The way we have found works the best is a week or two after the initial launch of the post and/or video we follow up with something we call a Partnership Summary.
This basically goes into everything we did for the post and how it all performed. We dive into all the stats for the blog, social channels and video (we almost always do videos). Plus we usually show how the page is doing SEO wise because this is one of our strong points.
This review makes it real easy for our contact point to justify our relationship and see what they get out of it.
Plus, it has the added benefit of helping us see how well that post performed with our audience.
There is a lot of information out there on how to price these things. We have found that the best way to do it is to start low and then raise your price as you keep showing value.
Starting low doesn't mean free. A good rule of thumb seems to be to start around $100 per post for anyone with 100,000 pageviews a month or less and then work your way up.
If you have video, a large social following or some other contributing factor then you can charge more for this.
The amount here will really depend on how comfortable you get demonstrating the value of your site, skill (photography, writing, video etc) and audience engagement.
Make a list of brands you want to work with.
Email them with a good intro email include your media kit.
Be ready with rates when people get back to you.
Create and Launch your content.


Jack Christian speaks with poet Emily Pettit about the workings of chance and the unexpected in her fast-paced poems.
Emily Pettit's Goat in the Snow was published by Birds LLC in January of this year and was Small Press Distribution's fourth best-selling poetry book for the month of January. These are poems that perform their spell in such a way that they leave a reader in a warm confusion in which one is likely to welcome more confusion. That is not to say the poems are obtuse or needlessly difficult. The only difficulty that I found was reading slowly enough, similar to remembering to pace oneself through an excellent meal. These poems are remarkable for the ways they manage to find pleasant, thoughtful intersections of the mundane and the sublime, the thought and the spoken, the private and the public. They are written about the imagination and in praise of it. And they are also careful. Reading Emily's work, I am conscious of how precise and well-groomed her poems are and how generous she is to work so hard that I can believe these poems took no work at all.
Jack Christian There's always a story to first books, in how they come about, in how they are often culled from years of poems and enough material really for several books. I know you've published two chapbooks previously, How (Octopus Books) and What Happened To Limbo (Pilot Books). And so I wondered how you conceived of Goat in the Snow .
Emily Pettit I started writing Goat in the Snow in college. I was writing poems, and then I decided I was writing a book. One night with my brother (Guy Pettit) and his wonderful friend Rory Jenson, I was discussing my constant desire to be a "fly on the wall" and Rory said, "Be a goat in the snow." He said it like it was an obvious truth. And I said, "What?! What did you just say? Rory! I'm going to title my book that." And I did. A later challenge I encountered was writing a poem titled "Goat In The Snow," knowing that it would be the title of my book.
In terms of thinking about writing the book, a great inspiration to me was John Ashbery's Some Trees , which is a book I read my senior year of college. It is a book full of poems. Poems exploring different forms. Different ideas. Different ways of having ideas. And although the poems in Some Trees inform one another beautifully, they are not dependent upon one another. Some Trees made me feel like what I wanted to do, needed to do, was to concern myself with writing poems and more poems. I never thought about writing the book as a project. I thought, I am writing a book of poems and I will call it Goat in the Snow .
In thinking about putting the poems in order, many things went through my mind. Initially, when I ordered the book, it did not contain sections. When Dean Young, my thesis director in graduate school, read my book (the version of it that existed back then), he suggested that I put the book into sections. He suggested this as an opportunity to add a layer of beginnings and ends. I am very concerned with endings. I am in love with them. I often, or rather, almost always begin with an ending and then try to get there. When I look at sections, I now look at them as just another moment to make time or breath that will pace the reading of the book. Many books do not need or want this moment of time or breath or division or declaration.
EP It means many things, and I think I might do it a disservice to pin it to any one idea, any one image, any one emotion or sentiment. I will shyly say, to me it is an attempt to explore John Keats's Negative Capability. I see Negative Capability as an idea that can help us to better understand how we relate to the world and the things in the world or of the world and the things off the world as well. Negative Capability suggests approaching that which one encounters with a sense of awe and humility. Negative Capability is a call to failure, a call to uncertainty, a call to question, a call to mystery. And in the midst of this mystery Keats is not suggesting that a man not reach after fact or reason, but rather that a man should not do so irritably. For it is in a state of irritation that a person or a goat might lose his or her ability to pay attention, to witness complexity, to learn, to be moved.
JC Many of these are "How To" poems. Where did you get that idea? It made me think of Cronopios y Famas by Julio Cortazar. Is their an upshot to this advice? What's the role, the stance, the performance of advice to you in these?
EP Titles are incredible opportunities! My writing of the "How to" poems began after an encounter with an internet list of "How to" links that so amused me that I began to write poems titled 'How to … ", and the first "How to" poem I wrote is titled "How To Appear Normal In Front Of Your Enemy Or Competitor." I liked how the instruction title might complicate a poem, words in a poem, word work in a poem. Instruction or even the implication of instruction can be very provocative.
JC Now that we're talking about form, or syntax, let me go back to the goat in the snow for a moment. If the goat in the snow implies moving out into a more imaginative, boundary-less terrain, does it also imply a process for communicating what's out there? Are the "How To's," the commands, declarations, the manner of address, the power and control you admired in Anthony McCann's poems also part of being a goat in the snow? How do these connect?
EP Commands and declarations are maybe sometimes needed to push people in the imaginative directions that poems can present. People can be hesitant to engage with the unfamiliar and a command or declaration might make it so a person doesn't have time to be hesitant. Everything is happening very fast.
JC I wonder, then, does creating such momentum and speed help you in writing poems like these, especially because you often find yourself writing toward an ending? Did you write them fast?
EP It is hard to for me to decide if I can say that I wrote them fast. There is a part that is fast and a part that is slow. I write lines every day. Then all of a sudden, I see/hear/feel/find the lines I've written, over perhaps the last week or two, coming together, and I sit down and write a poem. When I write a poem, I tend to sit there and write until I feel it is finished finished finished. I figure out the poem is finished after reading it aloud to myself many many many times. And so maybe that fact that I write the poem in a night seems fast, but it is only possible (most of the time) because of slow work. A few of the poems in the book I wrote when I was an undergraduate at the University of Massachusetts. So I suppose I was 19 when I wrote the earliest poem that appears in the book. Other poems I wrote that appear in the book were late editions to the manuscript that I wrote and added this past year. So I wrote this book over the course of something like 7 years. So maybe that is slow?
JC When you're in the process of bringing a poem together, can you describe different ways you make the pieces fit? What are you wanting to do as you move from line to line, or piece to piece? Something I admire in your book is all the different moves you're able to make, but, are there moves you most like to make?
EP Moves. This is funny. There are lots of moves I like to make, though I can't say that with out grinning or wanting to hide at the same time. Luckily while I'm writing, I'm not thinking of what I'm doing as moves. Though perhaps I should embrace that term? I love the word moving. I love the word move. I love the word moves. I love a band called The Moves. I love different sorts of logic, logic perhaps organized by music, comparison, diction, or tone to name a few. I try to let different logics live together in a poem. My mind is messy with different sorts of logic at work, and I think my poems, as a result, are making different moves, often messy moves, but moves. Right now I keep finding myself rhyming and often loudly. It's scary. I'm even doing it in some correspondence by accident and then leaving it.
JC What you say brings me to something else that I thought about while reading your poems, and that was: Where do you conceptualize your speakers—I mean in terms of their physical space? I notice that the speakers in these poems often have, and seem to enjoy having, an elusive quality, most obviously in "How to Hide and Stay Hidden" where the speaker proclaims that her location is hidden: "Though the number is a secret, / like where I am." Where do you picture yourself, or your speaker, in relation to your poems?
EP I am hiding in my poems. I am also not hiding. I am doing both.
JC Well, I ask about this partly because I see these poems as being very out-in-the-world. They seem to take place on a sidewalk and in the air, as much as in a more private place, like a mind. I see this in lots of ways, starting with the spoken quality of the phrases, idioms, and plays on idioms that make up many of the lines. And then, of course, because of the call and response between "Someone" and your speakers that reoccurs. All of which prompts me to wonder, who are these poems to? Their address is intimate and public at once.
EP I think the poems are both intimate and public. I hope they are both. They are both to me.
Jack Christian's poems have appeared in Web Conjunctions, Cimarron Review and elsewhere. He is the author of Let's Collaborate from Magic Helicopter Press.

Cesar Awards: Xavier Legrand's 'Custody' Wins Best Film
Xavier Legrand's feature debut "Custody," a tense portrait of a family torn by domestic violence, won best film, actress (for Lea Drucker), original screenplay at the 44th Cesar Awards, which took place at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. The awards are France's highest film honors.
"Custody," which marks Legrand's follow up to his Oscar-nominated short, tells the story of a boy named Julien (Thomas Gioria), who is forced by a court ruling to split his time between his mother (Drucker) and estranged father (Denis Ménochet), whom he regards as a violent monster, amid his parents' bitter divorce. "Custody" world-premiered in competition at the Venice Film Festival, where it won two awards, and went on to play at Toronto in the competitive Platform section.
In her speech, Drucker paid homage to all the feminists, brave women who have inspired her and also dedicated the award to all the women who are suffering from domestic abuse every day and desperately need help.
Jacques Audiard won best director for "Sisters Brothers," a western-style drama starring Joaquin Phoenix, John C. Reilly and Jake Gyllenhaal. Audiard previously won best director at the Venice Film Festival. The movie also won three prizes at the Lumieres Awards.
Jean-Bernard Marlin's "Shéhérazade" which world premiered at Cannes's Critics Week, was the surprise winner of this year's Cesar Awards. The film won best first film and earned its cast best male and female newcomers for Kenza Fortas and Dylan Robert, both non-professionals. "Shéhérazade" tells the story of Zachary, a 17 years old who gets out of jail and faces his mother's rejection. Zachary ventures into the criminal underworld of Marseille where he meets Shéhérazade, a teenage prostitute.
Andrea Bescond's feature debut "Little Tickles" won best actress for veteran thesp Karin Viard and and best adapted screenplay for Bescond and Eric Metayer. Based on Bescond's autobiographical play, "Little Tickles" is about a funny, intense and wild young woman who comes to term with the abuse she suffered as a child through dancing.
The best actor prize was handed out to Alex Lutz, who stars in his second feature, "Guy," which is about a man who discovers he is the son of an on-the-road French crooner.
Nominated for 10 Cesar Awards, Gilles Lellouche's "Sink or Swim" won the best supporting actor prize for Philippe Katerine.
Kristin Scott Thomas, who presided over this year's Cesar ceremony, presented Robert Redford with the honorary Cesar Awards and paid homage to his legacy as an activist, filmmaker and actor.
Redfort, who attended the ceremony with his wife, was greeted on stage with a long standing ovation. In his speech, Redford spoke about his love for France and said he first came to Paris when he was 18 and penniless, and spent time drawing sketches of people, trying to figure out what was going through their minds. He then reminisced about a trip he took to Cannes. As he slept by the beach just above a Croisette place, he could hear people celebrating and laughing. When he returned to Cannes 17 years, he returned to the same palace and contemplated with emotion the beach where he had slept. Hailed as an icon in France, the legendary American actor and director received France's elite Legion of Honour in 2010.

Reece James, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling begin Chelsea's Jude Bellingham transfer effort
Jude Bellingham Mason Mount Raheem Sterling Reece James Todd Boehly World Cup Christian Pulisic HansJoachim Watzke England
Reece James, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling may have taken the first steps towards convincing Jude Bellingham to join Chelsea. The 19-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for a while now as he continues to impress for club and country.
Bellingham netted the opener in England's World Cup clash with Iran, becoming the youngest players to score for the Three Lions at the tournament since Michael Owen in 1998. Alongside Chelsea stars Mount and Sterling, the Borussia Dortmund star was central to Gareth Southgate's side kickstarting the campaign with a 6-2 win.
And, Bellingham was quick to upload a post to his Instagram to earmark what was a historic moment in his exciting career. In the caption under a picture of himself celebrating his goal, he wrote: "Start as we mean to go on. Good time to finally get my first goal for England. Another dream come true. Let's keep pushing!"

James, Mount and Sterling rushed to the comment section of Bellingham's post and flooded him with compliments. The Blues trio seem fairly close with the teenage sensation, all while Todd Boehly looks to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Bellingham has been subject to long-term interest from Chelsea, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the Englishman during his time as an academy player at Birmingham City, but after failing to act on their interest, the German giants swooped in and signed the teenager instead.
With Todd Boehly in the market for a new midfielder amid the uncertain futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, Chelsea are one of several clubs eager to sign Bellingham, according to The Athletic. And, Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has admitted that the midfielder can leave in the summer if he wishes.
As quoted by ESPN, Watzke revealed that the German side cannot compete with the wages which are being offered by other top-flight European sides. He said: "We will hold talks now, as soon as [the World Cup in] Qatar is over, and then we'll have a fundamental talk about what he would like.
"He just needs to tell us if he'd like to stay or if he'd like to go. In both cases we'll talk about it very pleasantly and reasonably together.
"In general we can imagine that he'd stay with us, but we can't behave as if this topic wasn't on the table. If he says 'I'd like to do something else,' then the really big [clubs] in Europe will be there and we can't afford to fight financially."

Jim ou James Bridger ( – Kansas City, ) était un « Mountain man », comme on les nomme aux États-Unis, explorateur, trappeur et guide de l'Ouest américain pendant la période 1820-1840. Il rencontra notamment Hugh Glass, Brigham Young, Kit Carson, Thomas Fitzpatrick, John Charles Frémont, Joseph Meek et John Sutter.

À l'âge de 19 ans, Bridger participa à l'expédition de l'Upper Missouri menée par le général William Henry Ashley. C'est lors de cette expédition qu'il laisse Hugh Glass pour mort après l'attaque d'un grizzly. Il fut l'un des premiers Blancs à voir les geysers du Yellowstone. Pendant l'hiver 1824-1825, il arriva dans la région du Grand Lac Salé qu'il prit pour une partie de l'océan Pacifique.

En 1830, Bridger et d'autres trappeurs fondèrent la , qui entra en concurrence avec l'Hudson Bay Company et l'American Fur Company dans la traite des fourrures de castor. En 1838, il construisit avec Louis Vasquez un poste de traite sur la piste de l'Oregon, nommé plus tard Fort Bridger, sur la rive occidentale de la Green River dans le Wyoming actuel.

En 1835 il épousa une femme de la tribu amérindienne des Têtes-Plates avec qui il eut trois enfants. Après la mort de son épouse en 1846, il se maria avec la fille d'un chef shoshone, qui décéda au cours de son accouchement trois ans plus tard. En 1850, il se remaria avec une autre Shoshone qui lui donna deux enfants. Il découvrit un passage qui permettait de raccourcir la piste de l'Oregon (). Ce passage fut choisi par la suite par l'Union Pacific Railroad et l'Interstate 80.

Il servit de guide pendant l'expédition de la Powder River menée contre les Sioux et les Cheyennes. Devenu malade, il retourna à Westport en 1868.

Sterling Consolidated Declares Cryptodividend - Simultaneously Files Reg A
Company unveils "DiMO", its own cryptocurrency, to be used on the forthcoming Decentralized International Marketplace for O-Rings
Sterling Consolidated Corp.
NEPTUNE, N.J., Feb. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sterling Consolidated Corp. (OTC: STCC) (The Company), a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic seals to the automotive and industrial marketplace, today declared a cryptodividend for a U.S. public company. Each common shareholder of record as of October 26, 2018 will receive 950 DiMO tokens, the Company's internally developed and proprietary cryptocurrency, with a payment date of December 14, 2018. The Company has also filed a Form 1-A with SEC to qualify a Reg A offering with a maximum raise of $50 million.
"The idea of a cryptodividend was developed by our CFO, Scott Chichester," said Sterling CEO Darren DeRosa. "We looked at what was happening in the ICO space and we wanted to distribute our token in a better way. In a typical ICO or direct token offering the purchaser buys the cryptocurrency but does not generally get any equity and does not participate in the growth of the Company. In our model, we distribute the cryptocurrency only to existing shareholders as a dividend for which no consideration is paid."
Sterling has continued its successful partnership with expert Blockchain tech agency, BlockchainDriven, which has developed and deployed the DiMO token on the Rinkeby testnet. DiMO is an ERC20 compliant token on the Ethereum protocol.
"The development of our own cryptocurrency was a key part of our strategic plan," said CFO, Scott Chichester. We continue to execute on our goal to bring the exciting technology of the Blockchain and smart contracts to the o-ring industry."

Reduction of Non-War Government Spending
Non-Essential Expenditures and the War
Federal Spending for Recovery and War
Curtailment of Non-War Expenditures
Refusal of Congress to provide funds for operation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, even on a reduced basis, beyond the close of the fiscal year that ended June 30, gave the advocates of reduction of non-essential government expenditures their first conspicuous victory. While Congress has withheld various appropriations desired by the administration for new projects, and has slashed appropriations for certain non-war activities below budget estimates for the fiscal year 1943, it is only in the case of the C. C. C. that it has gone to the extent of abolishing completely an established government activity—the ax falling, incidentally, on the oldest and, in peacetime, the most generally approved of all New Deal relief schemes.
Economy Demands and Efforts to Curb Inflation
Initiation of a vast program of rearmament two years ago led those individual members of Congress and others who had long been striving to impose curbs on government spending to insist on the necessity of applying the utmost measure of economy to federal expenditures unrelated to national defense. After the United States entered the war, and appropriations for the fighting forces rose by tens of billions with no end in sight, demands for paring ordinary civil expenditures of the government to the bone redoubled. Progress in that direction has been impeded, however, by resistance on the part of pressure groups or the administration to specific economy proposals. Savings to date amount to considerably less than the $2,000,000,000 total which it has been contended could be cut from the government's annual bill for non-war activities. Failure to effect greater reductions may inject the question of curtailing non-war expenditures into this year's congressional political campaigns.
Ordinary federal expenditures now appear small beside the enormous amounts being disbursed for war purposes. The very fact, however, that such huge sums must be thus expended is cited as an argument for making all possible cuts in expenditures not essential to the war effort. It is contended, moreover, that when the government is endeavoring to discourage civilian spending in order to check inflationary tendencies, it should, for practical reasons and from the standpoint of morale, set an example by cutting out unnecessary expenditures of its own that contribute to the inflationary trend. The author of a study of this problem published by the Brookings Institution at the end of December, 1941, held that a drastic curtailment of all non-essential expenditures was "of the utmost importance from the standpoint of the war program as well as from the fiscal point of view,"
