Victoria, British Columbia on TransCanadaHighway.com
Why Visit Victoria?
Victoria feels like a bit of Britain, with the same temperate climate , lots of pubs clustered around the Inner Harbour, and High Tea. The city is the western terminus of the Trans-Canada, and prizes its proximity to pretty Oak Bay, Brentwood Bay's Butchart Gardens, and rugged Sooke to the west. This city is the jumping off point to visiting the rest of Vancouver Island, with its lowland wineries, its interior forests, and Tofino's west coast waves and whalewatching.
Victoria is located on the Southern tip of Vancouver Island, and is the capital of British Columbia. It is western Canada's oldest city and is home to the provincial legislature. Its Island location gives it both a temperate climate and natural beauty The City of Victoria has a population of approximately 74,000, but over 300,000 live in the Victoria metropolitan area, which includes several municipalities.
The climate makes the city a sports lover's paradise, with many activities available year-round including golfing and most water sports (Canada's Olympic rowing ream trains here). It has excellent sports facilities as a result of hosting the Commonwealth Games a few years go. The city is home to University of Victoria, in the community of Oak Bay, which attracts a lot of young adults to this active city. Not far away are the unequaled splendours of Vancouver Island's rugged west coast. Macleans magazine recently rated Victoria as the number one city in Canada in which to locate a family business.
Governments at all levels provide a major employment base in the City with 18 of the largest employers coming from the public sector. Many provincial government offices are located in the city, and the Canadian military maintains its Pacific fleet at Esquimalt. This provides for a very stable economic base in a province usually affected by fluctuating resource prices.
Whether it's a visit to a park, an art gallery or the Island's mountains, Victoria offers its visitors and residents lots to do every day of the week.

Victoria History
In 1778 James Cook, the famous British captain, first landed at Friendly Cove in Nootka Sound on the western side of Vancouver Island. In 1793 Alexander Mackenzie, working for the fur-trading Northwest Company, took an overland route to reach the Pacific from the eastern side of the Rockies. By 1821, when the North West and Hudson's Bay companies merged, there were significant forts and trading posts in the area, with farms growing fresh produce to supply travelers, traders and the Royal Navy.
In 1842 HBC Factor James Douglas arrived in Victoria on his ship, the Beaver, arrives and surveys the are in Victoria harbour, and built what became Fort Victoria. Victoria is on the lee (downwind) side of Vancouver Island, and had wide deep harbors and a sheltered location making it an ideal Pacific base for the British Navy. In 1846, the Treaty of Washington establishes the international boundary at the 49th Parallel, and down the middle of the Juan de Fuca Strait. The Royal Navy settles into Esquimalt Bay.
In 1849 the settlement officially became a British Colony, and in 1856, Vancouver island's first legislature meets. In 1858, gold was discovered in the lower Fraser River, bringing more than 25,000 prospectors (including many who gave up after the California Gold Rush of '49) , followed by gold finds in the Caribou, and on the Columbia River's Big Bend, near Revelstoke. Victoria was the jumping-off point for prospectors and grew significantly..
By 1866, the BC and the Victoria Island colonies were united, and in 1871, four years after Canada was given its independence by Britain, BC joined Canadian confederation. On the condition that Canada build a trans-continental railroad. The Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1885 at Craigellachie, extending as far west as Port Moody, and extended 20 kilometres into Vancouver the following year. Even before the mainland line is connected, the 120 kilometre long Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway is completed in 1884.

Judge gives HARSH sentence to thug who set CVS on fire during riots
26 Jun, 2016 by	Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
I'm actually surprised there haven't been more riots in Baltimore this week. Two officers were found innocent in the Freddie Gray case, just as they should have been. Now Donta Betts, who was one of the primary instigators in the Baltimore riots and who set a CVS on fire, is having to answer for it finally. He just got 15 years in prison for arson… no chance of parole or probation. Donta Betts of Baltimore pleaded guilty in March to making a destructive device near the intersection of Pennsylvania and North avenues on April 27, 2015. He also pleaded guilty to shooting a woman in the leg over a $20 drug deal on July 2, 2015, federal prosecutors said in court Friday. Couldn't happen to a more deserving violent, racist radical.
From the Independent Journal:
In 2015, Americans were glued to the news in Baltimore as rioters looted stores and set cop cars on fire.
As a result of the chaos and crime, Baltimore has spent an estimated $20 million to clean up the city. And a lot of businesses that were looted never saw their perpetrators brought to justice.
Prosecutors say 20 year-old Donta Betts was one of the key players in the Freddie Gray riots… he looted, started fires and even attacked police. "Donta Betts was a menace to society here in Baltimore. The scope of the criminal activity he was involved in is really breathtaking," said Rod Rosenstein, U.S. Attorney. In April of 2015 — just days after the death of Freddie Gray — Baltimore erupted with riots, looting and a clash with officers. Federal prosecutors say surveillance video and pictures captured Betts in the middle of the mayhem. A picture of him spraying lighter fluid and starting fires went viral. He's an armed drug dealer and is a danger to everyone around him. The man has a sheer hatred of cops and a love for lawlessness. According to the criminal complaint, Betts told investigators, "I figured I did all this because that was my period of time to go wild on the police." Betts' attorney, Shari Heather Silver, asked the judge to consider Betts' youth and his "cognitive limitations." She described her client as a "scared, remorseful individual" who is functionally on the same level as a child. Silver said she has noticed an emotional decline in Betts since working with him and at times has seen him fighting back tears. Silver also noted that Betts was one of thousands of young people who participated in the rioting. "He cannot be held responsible for everyone else's conduct," she said. No, but he can certainly be held responsible for what he did. Can you believe this happy crap? The guy is a violent criminal who deals drugs and shoots people and his attorney wants sympathy because he cries and claims to be remorseful. What a crock. He should be thrown in prison forever as far as I'm concerned.

Supreme Court Declines Trump Resorts Case That Stripped Workers' Benefits
By Nina Totenberg
Published May 31, 2016 at 1:24 PM EDT
Union members demonstrate outside the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, N.J., earlier this year to protest new owner Carl Icahn's refusal to reinstate health insurance and pension benefits that previous owners eliminated in bankruptcy court.
On a day when all things Trump seem to be in the news, the Supreme Court got into the act too on Tuesday.
The justices let stand lower court rulings in favor of Trump Entertainment Resorts and against 1,000 unionized casino workers.
In 2014, Trump Entertainment Resorts, including the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, N.J., was in dire straights financially. When the company filed for bankruptcy protection, it won a ruling from a federal bankruptcy judge stripping the casino workers of their health insurance and payments to the pension fund.
The union appealed, arguing that those benefits were part of the collective bargaining agreement in which salary had been sacrificed to pay for health insurance. But a federal appeals court upheld the bankruptcy court order, and on Tuesday the Supreme Court, without comment, declined to review it.
Trump has had only had a minor stock interest in Trump Entertainment Resorts since its second bankruptcy in 1992. The company is now owned by billionaire Carl Icahn, an avid Trump supporter.
The Supreme Court receives some 9,000 appeals each term, from which it selects only 70-80 for review. Failure to hear a case leaves the lower court decision in place but does not indicate either approval or disapproval.

Teaching Of Moral Education Has A Significant Influence On Adolescence Behaviour In Buea MunicipalityPHCS2021-12-19T05:42:23+00:00
TEACHING OF MORAL EDUCATION HAS A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON ADOLESCENCE BEHAVIOUR IN BUEA MUNICIPALITY
Morality can be tied to the laws and customs of a particular society. It is one of the central concerns of ethics. moral laws differ as they exist in different communities and cultures like for example in some communities it is right to call an elderly person by his name without a respectable title while in some communities it is not right.
Morality is concerned with good and evil which are the social rules that governed behaviors.
It has often been seen (and taught) as a matter of following a few simple rules, the main obstacles lying a few simple rules, the main obstacles lying not in finding out what is right but in beginning oneself to do what one knows to be right or wrong.
Back Ground Of The Study
"All human beings are born and endowed with reasoning and conscience and should act towards one another in a respectable manner".
Only a handful of educational theorists hold the view that if only the adult world would get out of the way children would ripen into fully realized people.
Most thinkers, educational practitioners, and parents acknowledge that children are born helpless and need the care of guidance of adults into their teens and often beyond.
More specifically, children need to learn how to live harmoniously in society. Historically, the mission of schools has been to develop in the young both the intellectual and the moral virtues. Concern for moral virtues, such as honesty, responsibility, and respect for others, is the domain of moral education.
Moral education then refers to helping children acquire those virtues or moral habits that will help them individually live a good life and at the same time become productive, contributing members of their community.
In this view, moral education should contribute not only to the students as individuals but also to the teachers, parents, and to the Cameroon community as a whole.
The word moral comes from a Latin root (mos, moris) and means the code or customs of a people, the social glue that defines how individuals should live together.
Every enduring community has a moral code and it is the responsibility and the concern of its adults to instill this code in the hearts and minds of its young citizens. Since the advent of schooling, adults have expected schools to contribute positively to the moral education of children.
When the first common schools were founded in the New World, moral education was the prime concern. New England Puritans believed the moral code resided in the Bible. Therefore, it was imperative that children be taught to read, thus having access to its grounding wisdom.
As early as 1642, Massachusetts passed a law requiring parents to educate their children. In 1647 the famous old Deluder Satan strengthened the law, stating that "without the ability to read the scriptures, children would be prey to the snares of Satan".
During the colonial period as schools spread throughout the colonies, the moral education of children was taken for granted. Formal education had a distinctly moral and religious emphasis. Harvard College was founded to prepare allergies for their work.
In the 19th century, schooling was promoted for both secular and moral reasons. In 1832, a time when some of the founding fathers were still alive, Abraham Lincoln wrote, in his first political announcement (March 9, 1832), "I desire to see a time when education, and by its means, morality, sobriety enterprise and industry, shall become much more general that at present".
In the 19th century teachers were tired and trained with the clear expectation that they would advance the moral mission of the school and attend to characters' formation. Literature, biography, and history were taught with the explicit intention of infusing children with high moral standards and good examples to guide their lives.
Students' copybook heading offered morally uplifting thoughts. "Quarrelsome persons are always dangerous companions" and "praise follows exertion". The most successful textbooks during the 19th century and early 20th century were the famed McGuffey readers, which were filled with moral stories, urgings, and lessons.
During this period moral was deep in the fabric of schools. However, something else in the fabric of moral education caused it to become problematic at that time: religion. In the United States, as a group of colonies and later as a new nation, the overwhelmingly dominant religion was Protestantism.
While not as prominent as during the Puritan era the King James Bible was, nevertheless, a staple of United States public schools. The root of the moral code was seen as residing there. However, during the mid-19th century as waves of immigrants come to their country, century forward the Pan – Protestant tone and orthodoxy of the schools came under scrutiny and reaction set in concerned that their children would be weaned from their faith, Catholics developed their own school system.
Later in the 20th century, another religious group, such as Jews, Muslims, and even various Protestant demonic nations, formed their own schools. Each group desired and continues to desire, that its moral education be rooted in its perspective faith, or code.
Twentieth-century. During this period, there was also a growing reaction against organized religion and the belief in a spiritual dimension of human existence. Intellectual leaders and writers were deeply influenced by the idea of English naturalist Char les Darwin, the German political philosopher Karl Marx, the Austrian neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, and the German philosopher and poet Friedrich Nietzshe, and by a growing strict interpretation of the separation of church and state doctrine.
This trend increased after World War II and was further intensified by what appeared to be the large cracks in the nation's moral consensus in the 1960s. Since American the strongest roots of moral truths reside in their religious beliefs, educators and others became cautious of using the schools for moral education.
More and more this was seen to be the province of the family and the church. Some educators became proponents of "value-free" schooling, ignoring the fact that it is impossible to create a school without ethical issues, lessons and controversy.
Relatively recent moral educations are often called character education programs. It urges the public schools to take an infusion approach to educate for the character.
Hence, in respect to the historical outcome of moral education, and the various subjects taught to adolescents in both secondary and primary schools, moral education should be considered one of the most important subjects. This is because it will help to shape adolescents' behaviours. All adolescents ought to have education and some moral values as a worthwhile way of life.
Society today is made up of many negative and positive aspects. Some of the negative aspects are prostitution, alcoholism, laziness, corruption, mismanagement of public funds, gambling, scamming, and dishonesty.
This chaotic situation has made society have no value. In order for society to regain its value, it is advisable to introduce the teaching of moral education because it will enable the learners (adolescents) to differentiate between right and wrong, have respect for one another, be honest and obedient, hardworking, and most importantly inculcate a sense of responsibility and good behaviour.
This research, therefore, seeks to find out the extent to which the teaching of moral education will affect the moral state of adolescents in society.
General Objective
This research seeks:
To find out how the teaching of moral education will influence adolescents' behaviour.
To verify the extent to which elements of moral education could be taught in schools.
To examine the stakeholders (agents) of moral education.

I love Upfront. Thanks for the help.
I am having a hard time adding a custom font. I asked a question to a previous thread, where it was suggested I start a new ticket. So.
I don't want to add a google font, but a custom one.
This is a font I purchased a license from, which requires (I think) a specific css file to grant the license.
I think I managed to add the file to the header.php of upfront, so that's fine. But so far, following tuts from WPMU, of adding @font-face to the "add css" didn't do the trick.
Thanks again - but Help!
I've visited your site and checked its CSS. I've noticed however that font files doesn't seem to be available. Did you upload them to your server? If so, could you please let me know where they are located?
I have commented out your current code and replace it with one that uses full URL to font files, could you try applying the font family to desired elements and let us know if it works now?
Well, I sort of got it doing what I want. I am wondering if there is a way to add that option to the font selection drop down menu?
I'm still working on being more proficient at digging down to find the right selectors. For example, I got the vertical menus to do what I want, but the top menu, not so much.
There are already Google Fonts included in fonts selector and I think we had some more questions about making it possible to add your own, custom selected fonts to it so I believe it's an a "roadmap" for development but I'm not able to give you any ETA on when it will be implemented. Upfront developers are now working on introducing new features to the theme so hopefully in future this will also be added.

Says Donald Trump's executive order "doesn't address the over 2,000 children who are already separated from their parents, and it doesn't change the fact that we would be jailing children with their families."
— Tammy Baldwin on Thursday, June 21st, 2018 in an interview
Trump's executive order doesn't address 2,000 separated children and families would still be jailed?
By Tom Kertscher on Friday, June 22nd, 2018 at 5:51 p.m.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin was interviewed on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" about families being separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.
On June 21, 2018, the day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on the separation of children from their parents at the border, U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin tried to poke holes in it.
The Wisconsin Democrat is running for re-election in November 2018. Leah Vukmir and Kevin Nicholson are seeking the Republican nomination to run against her.
Baldwin, interviewed on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," claimed Trump's order "doesn't address the over 2,000 children who are already separated from their parents, and it doesn't change the fact that we would be jailing children with their families."
In some respects, this is a fluid situation. So let's set out what was known when Baldwin made her statement.
Like us on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter: @PolitiFactWisc
Families attempting to enter the United States without permission had been separated in the past, but immigration officials did so as an exception and not a rule. That changed in April 2018, when U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a zero-tolerance policy for all undocumented border crossings. Government agents charged undocumented people with a crime and sent them directly to detention centers. Any children were sent to be cared for in separate facilities.
According to the latest reports, the government was holding over 2,300 minors under the age of 12.
After an international outcry, Trump reversed himself and signed the executive order to end the practice of separating families. (Vukmir also shifted her position on separating families at the border, earning a Half Flip on our Flip-O-Meter.)
The Trump order reiterates that the administration's policy is to "rigorously enforce our immigration laws." It says in part:
It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources …
The Secretary of Defense shall take all legally available measures to provide to the Secretary, upon request, any existing facilities available for the housing and care of alien families, and shall construct such facilities if necessary and consistent with law ….Heads of executive departments and agencies shall, to the extent consistent with law, make available to the Secretary, for the housing and care of alien families pending court proceedings for improper entry, any facilities that are appropriate for such purposes.
The Attorney General shall promptly file a request with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the Settlement Agreement in Flores v. Sessions, CV 85-4544 ("Flores settlement"), in a manner that would permit the Secretary, under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings.
All our fact checks in the U.S. Senate race.
So, to the second part of Baldwin's statement, the order does call for continuing to detain families -- though together, rather than separating parents from their children.
But her use of the word "jailing" goes too far. The families, while kept in custody in some type of facility, would not be incarcerated in jails.
The children already separated
As for the 2,300 children already separated, PolitiFact National said it was not clear how or if the policy change might ultimately affect them.
Initially, on the day of order, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson said there would be no special effort from the Trump administration to reunite migrant families separated at the border. But later the same day, the department said the spokesperson had misspoken about the order.
In a statement, the department said "it is still very early and we are awaiting further guidance on the matter," but that "reunification is always the ultimate goal of those entrusted with the care of" unaccompanied alien children "and the administration is working towards that for those UACs currently in HHS custody."
In any case, the order itself does not address the 2,300 children.
Moreover, Reyna Torres Mendivil, Mexico's consul general in San Antonio, told National Public Radio that reunification would be hampered by the U.S. separation process, which keeps parents in federal custody while moving children into facilities controlled by the Department of Health and Human Services. "The U.S. authorities create different files for the children than for the parents, and it's very difficult to follow up on those cases," Torres said.
And CNN noted that separated children are in facilities or foster homes spread across states far from the U.S.-Mexico border, including Michigan, New York, South Carolina and more.
The White House referred us to a spokeswoman for Health and Human Services, but we didn't get a reply.
Baldwin says Trump's executive order "doesn't address the over 2,000 children who are already separated from their parents, and it doesn't change the fact that we would be jailing children with their families."
The thrust of Baldwin's statement is correct. Federal officials in charge of reunification said after the order they "are awaiting further guidance" on how to proceed. But in fact the order does not address reunifying the 2,300 children with their parents, which is seen as a complicated process.
The order also says, as Baldwin claims, that families entering the country without permission will continue to be detained — together, rather than parents and children being separated. But while the families would be in custody, at various facilities, Baldwin overreaches in saying the families would be put in jails.

Q: POSTing from Angular to .net WebAPI is always null I am trying to Post an object from AngularJS to a MVC 5 WebApi Controller, but the value is always null
I can see in Chrome dev tools that the data can be found on the request.
Angular Controller:
$scope.join = function () {
    if (!$scope.joinForm.$valid) return;

    // Writing it to the server
    var payload = $scope.user;

    var res = $http.post('/api/some', JSON.stringify( { Data: { payload }  }), { header: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } });
    res.success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
        $scope.message = data;
    });
    res.error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
        alert("failure message: " + JSON.stringify({ data: data }));
    });
}

MVC 5 API  Controller:
public class SomeController : ApiController
{
    // POST api/values
    public void Post([FromBody]string value)
    {
        Trace.Write(value);
    }
}

If I wrap my object in {Data: {payload}}
{"Data":{"payload":{"symbol":"xxx","amount":12000,"startdate":"2014-05-23T14:26:54.106Z","enddate":"2015-05-23T14:26:54.106Z","interval":"7 minutes"}}}

if I dont wrap it I get:
{"symbol":"xxx","amount":12000,"startdate":"2014-05-23T14:26:54.106Z","enddate":"2015-05-23T14:26:54.106Z","interval":"7 minutes"}

(Visual Studio 2015 is configured to use IISExpress)
Any ideas?

A: The reason value was null is because the framework's model binder was unable to match the parameter to the data that was sent in the body of the post.
Create a class to store your payload
public class User
{
    public string symbol { get; set; }
    public int amount { get; set; }
    public DateTime startdate { get; set; }
    public DateTime enddate { get; set; }
    public string interval { get; set; }
}

update controller
public class SomeController : ApiController
{
    // POST api/post
    public void Post(User user)
    {
        //consume data
    }
}

Angular controller
$scope.join = function () {
    if (!$scope.joinForm.$valid) return;

    // Writing it to the server
    var res = $http.post('/api/some', $scope.user, { header: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } });
    res.success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
        $scope.message = data;
    });
    res.error(function (data, status, headers, config) {

Biblical Perspectives Magazine (BPM): About the Magazine
What is Biblical Perspectives Magazine?
Biblical Perspectives Magazine (BPM) is a free, weekly, electronic magazine. We run essays, sermons, and any other material that strikes us as being useful or helpful in Christian thought, living and/or ministry. Most articles are written from the perspective of the Reformed tradition (check out our Reformation history archives if you don't know what the Reformed tradition is). Most contributing authors are pastors or seminary professors, though we also have some very good materials from seminary students and laypeople.
BPM is the weekly online magazine of Third Millennium Ministries (Thirdmill). Our doctrinal standards are the Westminster Confession of Faith, together with its Shorter and Larger Catechisms. For more information, please visit About Thirdmill.
BPM is edited by the staff of Third Millennium Ministries. The current Theological Editor responsible for weekly article selection, editing, and publication is Dr. Joseph R. Nally. Joe is a former pastor and received his Reformed education at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida. He has additional advanced degree studies in theology/history in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, England, and the Czech Republic. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. Past weekly editors have included Ra McLaughlin (1998-2001 and 2004-2006; M.Div., RTS, Orlando), Rev. Robert Barnes (2002-2003; M.Div., RTS, Orlando), and Matthew Gross (2003-2004; M.A., RTS, Orlando).
History of Biblical Perspectives Magazine
From 1998 until late 2003, BPM was known as Thirdmill Magazine Online. When we started publishing, we didn't do much strategizing. We simply wanted to help Christianity compete for the hearts and minds of the worldwide internet community.
In 2003 we added an independent site for the magazine and we changed its name to Reformed Perspectives Magazine, which was more descriptive of its content.
Later, we shorted the name to RPM, and kept that for many years. However, as our readership and ministry grew, we found that many believers around the world were unfamiliar with the term "Reformed," and that many others wrongly assumed that "RPM" stood for "Richard Pratt Magazine" (Richard Pratt is our President and Co-Founder). So, at the beginning of 2020, we changed the name to Biblical Perspectives Magazine, or BPM in its short form.

Here are some guidelines for supporting this critical aspect of a company's leadership and culture.
Senior management needs to provide tone at the top regularly, as part of the formal leadership of the organisation. It's a way of talking about important aspects of running the company, such as its values, mission, aspirations, ethics and intentions.
Together these clarify how the company does things—its corporate culture. It's more about how leaders want things to be, rather than an exact description of present arrangements.
Tone is about creating a culture where everyone has ownership and responsibility for doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do.
Why is tone at the top important?
Various forces drive the need for tone at the top. It's useful to be aware of these in considering how you might contribute to this leadership effort.
First, there's the formal, regulatory climate faced by so many companies these days.
Almost every company must navigate this territory—particularly in financial services. In the US for example, the need for an appropriate tone from the top is mentioned in the Sentencing Guidelines for organisations accused of violating regulations.
Internal communications should convey the 'tone from the top' but are also likely to focus on the implementation of the organisation's policies and procedures and the implications for employees.
Regulators expect to find evidence of an appropriate tone at the top. They seek it in reviewing how a company is performing under the regulations. They may regard its absence or inappropriateness as a serious failing—a sign that something more substantial may be going wrong. This may lead to further investigations and in extreme cases, to fines for failing to give sufficiently clear and robust direction from the top in respect of ethics and compliance.
Regardless of regulations, tone is one way senior leaders explain to employees how they want the company to operate.
Thirdly, tone shows all stakeholders, beyond employees, where the company's leadership wants to take the organisation, and how. Thus it can affect the responses of investment analysts, suppliers, unions and others who view the company and its approach to doing business.
There are both formal and informal ways that senior management in a company conveys tone.
Formal ways include public pronouncements, newsletters, town hall-type meetings, videos, and actual visits to teams, departments, branches, factories, projects and so on. Such visits are often deliberately designed to convey a clear message that provides the required tone.
Informal ways include how leaders actually behave in their interactions with other people, both inside and outside the organisation.
Leaders' behaviour and the signals they send are more important than strategy or pronouncements.
In an increasingly transparent world, employee engagement is based on trust—of their boss, their department, of their whole enterprise. The right sort of tone helps develop that trust.
How do non-executives connect with the tone at the top?
The first requirement is to fully understand the nature of the present tone at the top. For example, do you actually know the values, mission, aspirations, ethics and intentions of the CEO and his or her team? If these are not entirely clear to you, they certainly won't be any clearer to other stakeholders, especially employees.
One of the first actions you can take as a non-executive director is to ask about these in a genuine spirit of enquiry. In doing so you'll be contributing both to promoting better communications, and supporting senior management to understand clearly these aspects of the corporate culture for which they are responsible.
The first requirement is to fully understand the nature of the present tone at the top. For example, do you actually know the values, mission, aspirations, ethics and intentions of the CEO and his or her team?
Another practical action is to discuss with your senior management the present form their tone at the top takes—the content of communications, pronouncements, meetings, and other actions they set in motion.
For example, while a leader may stress the importance of the company being ethical, or avoiding bribery, what matters more is what that leader or his/her top team initiates to ensure there is action on the ground.
Another way of connecting with the tone at the top is to discuss with senior colleagues how you personally might support the desired tone at the top. For example, what message should you be giving when you interact with others in the company or elsewhere?
If you meet employees for instance, does your particular communication align with the one being promoted by the leadership?
When people encounter a non-executive talking about the same issues as the full-time leadership, it provides an important re-enforcement in the minds of those on the receiving end.
For tone at the top to work it's essential there's a strong board. There is growing awareness of the implications of signalling from the top. Also, different approaches may be relevant according to a company's stage of development.
As a non-operational member of the board, you have a special role in influencing the nature of the signalling that stems from the top.
For example, pressing for clarity on issues such as values, ethics and compliance, and seeking evidence of follow-through—of the leadership "walking the talk".
Similarly, you can play a role in ensuring that signalling about important issues such as ethics occurs regularly, and not just on special occasions. Employees and other stakeholders quickly spot whether or not the purpose of the enterprise, its values and standards are regularly, or only sporadically, discussed at the top.
For example, one CEO was famous for referring to the business ethics code only once a year. It escaped the notice of few employees that while he lauded the programme on the day set aside to honour it, he never referred to or inquired after it at any other time.
For any outsider such as a non-executive director, it can be a real challenge to get to grips with the culture of a company—to understand how things happen in the organisation. Even those who think they know the culture may find that, once they become an insider, it's less obvious than previously thought.
Increasingly, one of the most vital contributions non-executives play is helping the company act in an ethical or responsible manner.
This justifies a special effort to master the culture, so suggestions and proposals for change, or reactions to what leaders say, are firmly grounded in the reality of how things are.
Most non-executives are recruited for their experience and special ability to contribute in some specific way—business experience, knowledge of finance, awareness of the market, valuable contacts, and so on.
Increasingly, one of the most vital contributions that non-executives play is helping the company to act in an ethical or responsible manner. That is to ensure integrity pervades the ethos of the organisation.
Managers must be empowered to make ethically sound decisions on a day-to-day basis.
In your view is the CEO an ambassador for compliance?

I am a huge fan of brunch. You get the best of any meal. Sweet, savory, or any combination of the two is allowed. I make brunch every year on Christmas morning. The last few years I made french toast and ended up standing over the stove all morning flipping the bread. This year I decided to do something different. I found a recipe for a french toast casserole on the internet and added my own touches. To reference the original recipe go to http://www.tammysrecipes.com/overnight_challah_french_toast. Below is how I changed the recipe to add more spices and use heavy cream instead of milk. If you want to make it a little healthier you can use low fat milk but I think the heavy cream gives it much more flavor.
1) Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish (I use butter but a cooking spray would work also). Add the chunks of challah in a layer (the dish should be at least 3/4 full).
2) In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla and spices. Add the heavy cream and whisk well. Pour over the bread and make sure all the bread is wet. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.
3) Combine all the ingredients for the topping and using a fork cut together until coarse crumbs are formed. Cover the bowl or place in a ziplock back and place in refrigerator till morning. You can also make the crumbs in the morning.
5) Stir the bread mixture and smooth out into a layer on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the fruit over the top and sprinkle the topping over the fruit.
This dish was so easy to make and I could make it the night before. I am not a morning person so it was nice to not have to get up at the crack of dawn to get everything done. It also gave me plenty of burner space to cook the sausage and bacon. This casserole makes a wonderful leftover which can either be heated up or served cold. I think it is sweet enough not to need any syrup but my sister liked it with maple syrup.
2) Make sure that you get all the bread covered with the egg mixture before you place it in the refrigerator overnight. The bread will absorb some of the mixture but some areas will be dry if you didn't get it wet before hand.

Richard Charles Francis Annett (c1840-1911)
R. C. F. ANNETT, who had formerly held the office of Honorary Secretary of the Society for 15 years, died at Liverpool on 10th October, 1911, in his 72nd year.
During the construction of the Vyrnwy Waterworks Mr. Annett was managing clerk, and as such had charge of all the expenditure connected with the numerous contracts which had to be entered into. This appointment he held until 1892 when he was appointed Chief Clerk in the Water Department of the City of Liverpool.
In his capacity as Honorary Secretary of the Society Mr. Annett rendered invaluable service, and his devotion to the work of the Society could not well have been surpassed. The fact that during the time that he was Honorary Secretary the Society increased, enormously in numbers and prestige, until at the time of his retirement in 1907 its strength was 516 of all grades, was a striking tribute to his work.
On the occasion of his retirement Mr. Annett was elected an Honorary Life Associate of the Society, and the esteem in which he was held was further shown by the extensive support given throughout the Society to a presentation made to Mrs. Annett and himself on behalf of the members. On that occasion numerous Past Presidents of the Society expressed their great appreciation of his work not only in the routine of his duties as Honorary Secretary and in editing the Transactions, but also in his organisation of the various visits paid by the Society to engineering works and in his efforts to promote the spirit of good fellowship which existed in the Society. The very large attendance of Past Presidents, Officers and Members of the Council at his funeral bore testimony to the great regard in which Mr. Annett was held by the members of the Society.

The Master Pewter-smith from Stockholm, Sweden, F. Santesson made this piece.
One of the best known, and most respected, producers of pewter steins of all types including the "Daubenkrug" was F. (Frans) Santesson of Stockholm, Sweden. Frans was born into a pewter-smiths family, and learned the trade both by working with his father, and by working for firms in Europe and in the United States. In 1862 he took over his father's workshop, applied for membership in Stockholm's Pewter Guild, and after painstaking examination of his work, was accepted. He operated as a pewter-smith in the City of Stockholm until his death in 1916.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Till Eulenspiegel was an impudent trickster figure originating in Middle Low German folklore.
His tales were disseminated in popular printed editions narrating a string of lightly connected episodes that outlined his picaresque career, primarily in Germany, the Low Countries / Denmark and France. He made his main entrance in English-speaking culture late in the nineteenth century as "Owlglass", but was first mentioned in English literature by Ben Jonson in his comedic play The Alchemist.
"Till" as represented on an incised H-R stein with a silver plated lid (probably added later as it appears to be for a server.
According to the tradition, Eulenspiegel was born in Kneitlingen near Brunswick around 1300. He traveled through the Holy Roman Empire, especially Northern Germany, but also the Low Countries, Bohemia, and Italy. His mobility as a Landfahrer ("vagrant") personifies the constitution and consciousness of the Late Middle Ages.
Since the early 19th century, many German scholars have made attempts to find historical evidence of Till Eulenspiegel's existence………………While he is unlikely to have been based on an historic person, by the sixteenth century, Eulenspiegel was said to have died in Mölln, near Lübeck, of the Black Death in 1350, according to a gravestone attributed to him there, which was noted by Fynes Moryson in his Itinerary, 1591. "Don't move this stone, let that be clear – Eulenspiegel's buried here" is written on the stone in Low German.
In the stories, he is presented as a trickster or fool (jester) who played practical jokes on his contemporaries, exposing vices at every turn, greed and folly, hypocrisy and foolishness. As Peter Carels notes, "The fulcrum of his wit in a large number of the tales is his literal interpretation of figurative language." In these stories, anything that can go wrong in communication, does go wrong. And it is not the exception that communication gives rise to complications; rather, it is the rule. As a model of communication, Till Eulenspiegel is the inherent, unpredictable factor of complication that can throw any communication, whether with oneself or others, into disarray. These irritations, amounting to conflicts, have the potential of effecting mental paradigm changes and increases in the level of consciousness, and in the end, of leading to truth. Although craftsmen are featured as the principal victims of his pranks, neither the nobility nor the pope are exempt from being fooled by him.
As "Till Eulenspiegel" was known to frequent both medieval Denmark and Poland, both of which are on the South side of Baltic Sea, with Germany in the middle) these pieces of Santesson's works which were well made just across "The little pond", received a lot of attention in the late 1800's and early 1900's .
Santesson's lid medallion (he never used minted coins) on "Till's stein" is of "Gustavus Adolphus Magnus." The King of Sweden in an era characterized by almost endless warfare; he led his armies as King from 1611 (at age 17) until his death in battle in 1632 while leading a charge.
His firm made lots of collectable beer steins with the engraved Royal Coat of Arms of Sweden, and was also known for his Daubenkrug revival which mostly all sold within the Baltic States area and Northern Germany. He also had a contract with the USA silver and pewter firm Reed and Barton, in New York to produce some pieces, but with their firm's name on the steins.
Shown: [L] A tall Santesson "Daubenkrug." Ca.1900. [R] A "roerken" = a smaller Baltic Seas style, all pewter beer stein, with the Swedish National Coat of Arms engraved on it. Sizes of the two pieces shown are about proportional to their actual sizes.
[L] Plain style three legged stein with 'anfangs' on the body to which the legs are attached. [R] A Santesson (Oval mark – see below) beer server. 11.5 inch. Date letter marks for 1913.
Another Santesson Daubenkrug – on this one lid appears to be "mystery finish coated." This coating which is clear but which over time leaves a different finish from the other parts on Santesson's pieces has had me puzzled for years ! Some steins are completely "mystery finish coated," While on others, just the lid and the handle were done. It make no sense to me at all. The "Till" stein I own has only the handle coated. I originally thought this to be "Friday's afternoon's work," but that can't be the case – there is just too much of this coating seen; as the next photo also shows. Anyone with a good idea of why this is, is urged to contact the editor.

Get More Customers & Distributors On Base
By Courtney Roush | March 1, 2019
Does your compensation plan reward the right behaviors?
IF YOU'VE ever seen the 2011 film Moneyball, you can recall the premise: Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland A's (portrayed by actor Brad Pitt), sets out to rebuild his failing team. His strategy: turning to hard numbers to identify the diamonds in the rough who will become his new players. With the help of a number-cruncher fresh out of the Ivy League, Beane assembles a team that, ultimately, starts giving the competition a run for their money. Baseball is all about tradition, so relying on big data was a marked departure from norms in the sport. Specifically, Beane andhis young sidekick were using statistical analysis to determine which players were on base most often.
Mark Rawlins, Founder and CEO of InfoTrax has found important parallels between this famous baseball movie and direct selling, specifically in the area of sales force compensation. "Direct sales companies don't need to be focused on finding home run hitters," he says. "Rather, they should be focused on getting more players (distributors and customers, that is) on base. This is rather intuitive: The more people you can get on base, the greater the odds of a win."
Throughout our industry's history, direct selling companies have invested countless hours analyzing how to best compensate their respective independent sales force members. The objective has been to offer rich and competitive compensation plans that attract and retain distributors–without jeopardizing corporate profitability, of course. That's a rather shortsighted view, however. If the goal is to get more people on base as Rawlins infers, compensation plans should instead be aimed at driving the kind of behaviors that lead to success. In other words, we've got to examine how we're rewarding distributors, moving beyond the simple analysis of how much we're rewarding them.
A little myth-busting may be in order before we proceed. There is no perfect compensation plan; nor is there a one-size-fits-all solution for every company. Rawlins has spent much of his career managing and advising direct sales companies on this very topic. Rawlins will be the first to tell you that what works for one company may not work for another. "Companies are in different growth phases, sell different products, have different selling methods and different cultures, values and visions–and that's just for starters," he says. Distributors start a direct sales business for a multitude of reasons, not all of them involving money. And they're motivated by different incentives Rawlins says.
"If you're giving some thought to tweaking your compensation plan, and/or if you're questioning if you're adequately rewarding the behaviors that will bring more prospects to your business opportunity and keep them there, your value proposition is a good place to start."
"Direct sales companies don't need to be focused on finding home run hitters. Rather, they should be focused on getting more distributors and customers on base. The more people you can get on base, the greater the odds of a win."
—Mark Rawlins, Founder & CEO, InfoTrax
It All Starts With Two Questions
Dan Jensen, founder of Dan Jensen Consulting, has counseled direct sales companies on compensation, incentive and business plans, along with recognition strategy, technology and business best practices. Any company grappling with how to get more people on base, he says, would be well served to return to the two universal questions every potential independent distributor considers. First, is the opportunity worth it? And, second, can I do it? Direct selling companies are usually good at answering the first question through rewards, recognition and motivation. The second question has to do with skill and competency. Any prospect is determining if she's competent in such skills as selling products, talking to people about a business opportunity, building a team and inspiring others. "Companies have to "balance the motivational part of the business with the competency part of the business," says Jensen. "Failure to do both will most certainly result in stagnation or worse."
"No compensation plan by itself is responsible for the success of any company," Jensen says. "A compensation plan by itself, without competency, won't work." Therefore, training has to align with the rewards and recognition system. And the first 90 days of a distributor's business are key. It's during that period that "you're looking to teach people to hit singles so eventually they hit doubles and triples," Jensen says. "You can score lots of home runs that way."
To help new business owners gain traction in those first 90 days, Jensen recommends three rank advances within three months. That means that the design of your plan must create the first three ranks with a "fairly low bar of performance. You hope they recruit one or two people in the first 90 days and find customers, and the recognition of the rank advancement keeps them in the game and wanting more." Compensation plans that work well and support growth often include narrow gaps between titles. "You don't want to have to jump over the Grand Canyon to get to the next level." And, of course, the rewards should be incremental with each new title. A new distributor should be able to look to the next level and believe that it's not only attainable but that it's worth it. Jensen adds that it's entirely possible for direct selling companies to get 20 percent of new recruits doing a fast start in the first 90 days – if their systems are aligned.
Even when we remove those who start a direct selling business solely for the discount, within any company's sales force is a large percentage of new distributors who don't recruit anyone within their first 90 days. Companies who can whittle that percentage down will start hitting more homers. That "analysis paralysis" likely is due to lack of confidence. Many new distributors start a direct sales business "like they're taking a test drive," Jensen says. Therefore, it's vital for them to receive not just the rewards and recognition, but also the training so that the answers to "Can I do it" and "Is it worth it?" are both a resounding yes.
" No compensation plan by itself is responsible for the success of any company. A compensation plan by itself, without competency, won't work." —Dan Jensen, Founder and CEO , Dan Jensen Consulting
The Shift To A New Reality
Direct selling companies are experimenting with various tweaks to their compensation plans in order to reflect a new reality: the hybridization between online companies with affiliate programs and direct selling, says Alan Luce, senior managing principal at Strategic Choice Partners, a consulting firm specializing in direct sales business development. Today, he says, more distributors are interested in running their business online for part-time income than running their business face to face or one-to many in a party setting. While direct selling has always been built on part-time sellers, "today it's more built on part-time sellers than ever before."
There's no one formula companies have settled on to accommodate this shift, but in general, successful direct sellers are designing flatter compensation plans of two to three levels deep. "With more part-time sellers than ever, companies are increasingly introducing referral based customer loyalty programs," says Kevin Crandall, Vice President of Sales, Shaklee. "The idea is to create raving fans and then gauge their interest in the opportunity."
"With more part time sellers than ever, companies are increasingly introducing referral based customer loyalty program. The idea is to create raving fans and then gauge their interest in the opportunity." —Kevin Crandall, Vice President of Sales, Shaklee
With this shift to online, part-time direct sales, it's quite possible that a distributor never leaves her house to conduct her business. She may have a strong customer base, including several in the preferred customer program who receive rewards from bringing her referrals. She might do an occasional one-to-one sale online and hold a Facebook party every now and then. Accordingly, "because you have a flatter, more part-time first level of seller, that means you have to change the qualifications for business leaders," Luce says. For example, let's say your minimum production for becoming a business leader is $3,000 in production. You might have two customers or 10. As long as you reach $3,000, you're a business leader.
"A couple of other tactics direct sellers can use to attract people is via a sampling program to build distributor confidence through small wins, which can help companies identify when a distributor is becoming disengaged and preparing to leave," says Crandall.
Create the "golden handcuffs." When direct sellers can generate predictable and reliable income of about $300 to $400 per month— enough to make a car payment or a sizeable chunk of a payment—"then you create a dependency income, and that dependency causes retention," Jensen says. "You can't keep people with Starbucks money, but with Disneyland money, you can."
New companies need time to determine if their compensation plans are working, Rawlins says. The first two to five years "says nothing about how effective your comp plan actually is." Dream builders may be telling prospects, " 'If you do this you'll make $500 a month or $5,000 a month,' and there's no evidence one way or another. It takes time or people who believe to realize it's not true if it's not true, and then it takes time for that to gain critical mass. At some point, it doesn't work anymore. One of worst traps I see companies get themselves into is they start out and grow like wildfire. They don't realize that you're running on pure adrenaline
at that point."
As direct selling companies continue to grow and evolve and the industry becomes more competitive, organizations are left with the challenge of how to deliver the most attractive compensation plan for both distributors and the corporate bottom line. The best plan is the one that reflects who you are and where you want to be as an organization—and one that incentivizes your distributors to achieve long-term, sustainable success with integrity.
Key Performances Inidicators
IF THE GOAL IS to get more people on base, what should your Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, be? In other words, what are the measures that will tell you if you're meeting your objectives (or not)?
1. Ensuring That 50 Percent Or More Of Your Distributors Are Achieving Quick Start
is one of the most critical KPIs to watch, Luce says. "Study after study has shown that people who achieve success during their first 30 days stay in business twice as long and sell four times as much over the course of their business."
2. Are Your Sales Force Members Recruiting At Least 2 Percent Each Month?
For example, if your sales force is comprised of 100,000 members in a given month, you should be seeing approximately 2,000 new recruits that month. "If you drop below that, you'll start to contract as a company," Rawlins says.
3. Take A Look At Your Salespeople—
those Rawlins defines as earning between $300 and $500 per month, mostly from their recruiting efforts. Do they stay, and if so, how long do they stay? If you have rapid turnover in this group, it's difficult to maintain your growth as a company. "If for $300 to $500 they're not staying," Rawlins says, "it means they're spending too many hours to make that $300 to $500." He refers to this as the "McDonald's rule." If a distributor is spending more time to make $300 to $500 than she would to work at McDonald's part-time for the same money, she's not likely to remain a distributor.
4. Jensen Recommends A Minimum Target Dollar-per-Hour Propositions Of Two and a Half To Three Times The Minimum Wage.
So if the minimum wage is $10 an hour, a direct sales business becomes an attractive proposition at a minimum $25 to $30 an hour. Why does our industry have to prove itself at a higher hourly rate? A typical part-time job offers structure, a schedule, a defined environment and, most crucial, predictable income. A direct selling business offers tremendous flexibility, but the income is entirely self-directed and not always predictable depending upon one's success in any given month. Therefore, "we have to be significantly more than minimum wage to win that battle." Jensen adds that there's an "exponential" drop in sales force retention once you dip below the $25 to $30 threshold and a spike when it meets or exceeds $50 per hour.
5. How Many Months Do Customers Stay Active, On Average?
For every company, it's slightly different, depending on the products or services your representatives sell.
6. If Person A and Person B In Your Sales Force Each Recruit 10 People, How Many Of Those People Are Still Active One Year Later?
If the numbers for Person A and Person B are significantly different, "work yourself upline until you find out the cause. Is it just these two people, or this organization, or this dream builder? Dream builders teach their downlines different strategies for signing people up, and you want to know which ones are effective and which aren't and where it started," Rawlins says.
7. Month To Month Change In the Number Of Paid Leaders–
those who not only carry the title but are also paid as leaders. "When that number goes up, sales go up and vice versa," Luce says. "It's the canary in the mine."
8. Number Of New Recruits per Leader Each Month.
If leaders aren't recruiting on a regular basis to accommodate natural turnover in the business, eventually sales production will drop.
9. Cash To Field.
Former Co-CEO of Primerica John Addison says one of the most important KPIs a company needs to track is the total cash being paid out to the field each month.
7 Types Of Distributors
To Determines what drives behavior, we first have to categorize distributors using some of the data readily available to us. Based on the company's extensive background in compensation plan design, Rawlins identifies seven primary types of distributors:
Customers: Sometimes dubbed "personal use consultants," customers sign up to be able to buy products they love at wholesale. They never recruit any team members.
Social Enrollers: These are the same people who grab you at the coffee machine and won't let you leave until they tell you the entire plot of the movie they saw. But they don't want the responsibility of being a distributor. Social enrollers, who also enjoy the product discount, can be very effective at driving people to the company. However, they don't want the blame if they fail.
Emerging Sales Leaders: Quite simply, emerging sales leaders are salespeople who are now teaching others how to be salespeople.
Sales Leaders: These superstars have successfully replicated the process of building salespeople down multiple levels.
Dream Builders: They've reached the top-most levels of your sales organization and possess the ability to motivate and inspire from the stage.
Lottery Winners: Lottery winners signed up one or two team members who became very successful. Due to the manner in which their compensation plan is structured, they're compensated handsomely and can be quite opinionated about whether the organization should make any changes to the plan.
Retirees: This group has achieved the dream of residual income.
Rawlins has seen companies pay as much as 25 percent or more of their total compensation to lottery winners and retirees. But who's really moving the needle? It's the emerging sales leaders, sales leaders and dream builders.

Le valtellina est un vin italien, produit dans la région des Lombardie.

Historique

Vignoble

Présentation

Une production connue est le vin nommé Veltliner. Les vignes poussent depuis des siècles, principalement dans les grands vignobles de la vallée moyenne et inférieure où le cépage porte le même nom. Il s'agit de vins (principalement rouges, mais aussi rosés ou blancs) de très bonne qualité, dont les caractéristiques sont diverses tant au niveau alcoolique qu'organoleptique (par exemple les variétés Inferno, Sforzato, Grumello, Montagna, etc.)

En dehors de la consommation locale, ces vins sont principalement exportés vers la Suisse, et ils constituent encore aujourd'hui dans les Grisons quasiment une boisson nationale servie à l'occasion des différentes festivités.

Géologie

Types de vins, gastronomie et températures de service

Ces vins accompagnent au mieux les spécialités de la région, telles la viande séchée (viande des Grisons), le stufato à la pavesane, la polenta, la bresaola, la saucisse, le lard, le salami, la mortadelle, qui sont également des spécialités de la Valteline fort appréciées.

Q: How to read rows with specific value from csv file I have a sorted csv file. How to read just rows with ordered value and write them to datagridview.For example read just rows where value of Age is 22. the file looks like:
ID Name Surname Age Salary
1  John Asben   33  1000
2  Adam Smith   22  1200
3  Amanda J     22  2000
4  George Villis 36  2300

A: About reading CSV files in .NET: Reading a CSV file in .NET?
Depending on the CSV parser type and the classes you'll get the CSV data in, you could apply a filter while parsing, apply a filter on the parsed data or add a View filter to the grid. I'm sure there are also other methods.


Cache Critters is one of those commercial geocoins that I just can't pass up. For starters, it has fauna on both sides (even if it is fauna I don't particularly like to come across). But mostly because it is a very attractive geocoin, especially the snake side. The spider side is special because it has a heavy clear enamel on it. By the way, did you notice that the snake is coiled like the geocaching "Gx" logo?
