In this episode of Conversations Beneath the Cupola, podcast host, Gettysburg College President Robert W. Iuliano, is joined by guest Susan Eisenhower. Eisenhower is the Chairman Emerita of the Eisenhower Institute at Gettysburg College and granddaughter of Dwight Eisenhower. She is also an author, an international policy consultant, an expert on international security, space policy, energy, and relations between the Russian Federation and the United States of America.
Iuliano and Eisenhower begin the episode by discussing Dwight Eisenhower's legacy on Gettysburg College through the lens of the Eisenhower Institute. At first, the Eisenhower Institute was a foundation created to give out scholarships, but it has grown to take on a more dynamic nature with roots in educating rising generations about important issues, which ultimately led to its affiliation with Gettysburg College in the early 1990s.
Beyond her involvements with the Eisenhower Institute, teaching a class called Strategy and Leadership in Transformational Times and taking several students on a trip to the beaches of Normandy, both of which have led to lasting connections between her and students, Eisenhower shares the broader connections that she has with Gettysburg, and reflects on what about this place was special and significant to her grandfather.
In reflecting on Dwight's time, Eisenhower also offers advice on how we can bridge political divides today and advice to students generally. This advice includes uniting the country around central ideas, redefining leadership, and remaining optimistic. Eisenhower stands behind this advice, as this is the same advice she would offer people too.
At the end of this episode, Eisenhower talks briefly about her new book, How Ike Led: The Principles Behind His Biggest Decision, which will be released in 2020. To hear the full conversation, tune in and subscribe.

View transcript: Episode 2 with Susan Eisenhower
Susan Eisenhower: One of the many opportunities we have for the Eisenhower Institute is that we are able to give students a glimpse into the world that awaits them.
Bob Iuliano: The world needs learners and leaders with the passion and capacity to contribute to society. Conversations Beneath the Copula is a Gettysburg College podcast where we bring attention to the great work of our students, faculty, and alumni who are doing just that.
Bob Iuliano: Hi, I'm Bob Iuliano, president of Gettysburg College and your host. Today, we are joined by the Chairman Emerita of the Eisenhower Institute at Gettysburg College, Susan Eisenhower. Susan is an author, an international policy consultant, an expert on international security, space policy, energy, and relations between the Russian Federation and the United States of America. She is also the granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower.
Bob Iuliano: Susan, welcome and thank you for joining me today. You have been such a good friend to Gettysburg College and have such a broad perspective on the world, the politics, presidency, international relations. Really thrilled to have you here today and talking about a set of topics that I think matter to the college, and I think more broadly. Early days here at Gettysburg for me, but one of the things that has really impressed me is the Eisenhower Institute and what it does for our students and what it does more broadly, I think, in helping to talk about topics that need to be talked about.
Bob Iuliano: I've spent some time in my early days also trying to think about how the history of this place speaks to the values that we have as a community and to our future as well. So, I'm really excited about the Eisenhower Institute. I find it truly inspiring, and I think you know this from the conversations we've had. But not everybody knows what the Eisenhower Institute is. Would you say a word or two to the people who are listening so they'll have a sense of what I find so engaging about this place?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, there's a wonderful history of the Eisenhower Institute. It's what I would call an Eisenhower legacy organization. It was founded, actually I was one of the founding directors, but it was founded by a number of my grandfather's close associates who had been on his staff during the White House years. At first we conceived of it as an organization to give away scholarships. And of course we do that, but it suddenly took on a more dynamic nature because we saw that things were changing in the world and we had an opportunity to address those changes, both in Washington and also through an affiliation with Gettysburg College which we established in the 1990s.
Bob Iuliano: Why Gettysburg?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, there were long associations between Dwight Eisenhower and Gettysburg College. I think those associations were something we could see we could leverage to bring along rising generations. Which, of course, is critically important for the future, not only of our country but of the global community. And we were doing a lot of very specific policy work in Washington, but we always wanted this affiliation that would make it possible to bring students into some of our activities. Then, years later, things shifted and the Eisenhower Institute, Eisenhower World Affairs Institute as it was known then, merged with Gettysburg College. What you had suddenly was a change of gravity, you might say. The gravity shifted to Gettysburg College, but the same wonderful dynamic interaction between Gettysburg and the Washington community is still there.
Bob Iuliano: It is powerful and very exciting. Not everyone will understand your grandfather's connection to Gettysburg College. If you walk in front of our admissions office, you see a very nice sculpture of him looking out over Carlisle Street. Let's say a word or two about that, and also your connections to Gettysburg.
Susan Eisenhower: Oh well. Those connections go way back. Ike, if I may call him that, was-
Bob Iuliano: He's your grandfather.
Susan Eisenhower: Yes … was commanding the US Tank Corps here at Gettysburg during the First World War. He was just about to deploy to the front in France, when the armistice was called. He did not get to the front in France, but he certainly trained people in this exotic new technology which were tanks by the way, which played a huge role during World War II. Then my grandparents moved away, went to all kinds of army posts here, there, and everywhere. Here and abroad, by the way, and eventually decided that they were going to come back after Eisenhower's presidency. Now, we have to note that he actually bought this property up here, the farm, during his presidency, so he was even using it especially in the last term of his office.
Susan Eisenhower: That's where I come into the picture. Because after his presidency, my father came up to help him write his White House memoirs, and I went to elementary school. I'm sorry to say they tore down Keefauver Elementary. But I'm not taking it personally, I just want to let you know. I feel very close to this town and to this community myself. Now, it is noteworthy that Dwight Eisenhower sat on the board of trustees of Gettysburg College. My brother sat on the board of trustees of Gettysburg College, and I sat on the board of trustees of Gettysburg College during Dr. Glassick's tenure as president.
Bob Iuliano: The connections run deep indeed, and I know that the president spoke on our campus on multiple occasions. It's now 10 years since the Eisenhower Institute and Gettysburg College merged. What do you make of the connections?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, I think it's going extraordinarily well and I'm personally gratified that we are involving more and more students in the Eisenhower Institute programs. We've got so much to work with. I mean, this is such an interesting time in our history. I think mostly because so many of the issues we're looking at are long-term issues, and I feel strongly that we need to prepare students for addressing these issues farther out. By the time they come to power, actually, in our country, many of the things that we're worrying about now are going to be major areas of concern, or gratification, if we get it right. I think there's no question that rising generations today have a seat at the table in a way they never have had before.
Bob Iuliano: And the Eisenhower Institute does such a superb job of giving our students the opportunity to get their hands on important issues. And one of the things I so admire about it, driving back from your grandfather's orientation to the world, is a decidedly nonpartisan way of looking at these issues. Let's look at facts. Let's seek to understand those facts. Let's make good policy judgments. I've come to become very fond of the work of the Institute. But let's help people understand better a student experience. I know you're actively involved with students, and I can see whenever I talk with you about this your smile is broad and your face lights up. Give us an example of what you do with students and how you think they benefit from those experiences.
Susan Eisenhower: Wow. Well, how they benefit from those experiences, in a way, we'll have to ask them. But if continuing to be in touch with students is any sign that they're getting something out of EI programs, and hopefully mine too, then I think we can feel that we're being successful. Because I myself have ongoing interaction with many students, quite a number of whom have already graduated from the College.
Bob Iuliano: Not to jump in a little bit, but I think when I was visiting you, you showed me a painting from a former student.
Susan Eisenhower: No, I'm very touched by that, and certainly the students who have been in my program have shown me all kinds of enormous consideration. My particular topic is strategy and leadership in transformational times, and I don't think you can have one without the other, frankly. I don't think you can be a top leader without having a strong strategic sense of how to move an issue from A to B to C to some kind of culminating goal. We have undertaken all kinds of case studies, you might say. One year we did a whole year on the rapidly changing environment in the energy field. Another year we studied the collapse of the Soviet Union and what choices the West made, what choices Russia and the former Soviet Union made, what the strategic challenges were in both cases. And then I have also taken, I think, four groups to the Normandy beaches. And the Normandy beaches, I just say, is the iconic beach. You could say the turning point, certainly, for the Western Allies. It's a very evocative place and I think it's had a big impact.
Bob Iuliano: Sounds a little bit like Gettysburg itself as you walk onto the battlefields and you understand what happened here. I've never been, but some point you'll have to take me, Susan.
Susan Eisenhower: Well, I'd love to do that. And I think the thing that is particularly striking for students, and it's hard to remember, so much of the story of Normandy focuses on older veterans. We forget that actually it's a young person's story. The people who came on those beaches were the same age as our students here at Gettysburg College and that strikes them very hard when they get there. I think one of the things that moves them always, is the idea of this fate-changing moment when people landed on those beaches and suddenly knew everything they had to know about themselves in an instant.
Bob Iuliano: Absolutely.
Susan Eisenhower: I think it's a very moving experience for both students and adults.
Bob Iuliano: it's one example of the many things that students get to do through the Eisenhower Institute, and one of the reasons, again, I'm so excited about it. You said that, a moment ago, that it's important in your view for students to get a better understanding of the world that awaits them, and the policy issues. Say more about that, and does that speak to a certain type of student or do you see that as a broadly applicable skill?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, I think that students are accustomed to thinking that they're just students. What I like to do is to help them see what the projections are for 20 years from now, and to help them understand that now is the time to prepare. We certainly did that on the energy module that I worked on. Last year I spoke to the students very pointedly about the strategic challenges that were underway. At the same time, we have fewer tools in our toolbox than we did, say, after World War II. What I mean by that is we simply don't have the money we used to have. We're running a now trillion dollar annual budget deficit, and this is going to mean that any strategic solutions we come up with are going to have to be extremely sophisticated and reliant more on smart thinking than on vast amounts of financial resources.
Bob Iuliano: Do you have a sense of what your students who have gone through your programs do when they graduate?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, actually, I'm very proud of the fact that three or four of them have gone into the strategy area. I heard from one student just last week who's been put on the strategy committee for a company that she's just joined. She was with me last year. I'm so moved by the fact that she says she reads her notes before she, that she got from last year, before she goes into it. I think one of the many opportunities we have for the Eisenhower Institute is that we are able to give students a glimpse into the world that awaits them after they graduate. And it's a wonderful opportunity to mix both theoretical study and practical study as well.
Bob Iuliano: And in that sense it really amplifies what Gettysburg College is doing generally. The Eisenhower Institute is one example of that. But we are very much about making sure that we are preparing students for the world that awaits, and we do this in a hundred different ways. The Eisenhower Institute being one of the more prominent examples. So, I was recently on the radio at WITF, and I was asked the following question about the Civil War. It seems more distant now to students, and therefore a little bit less relevant. I suppose the same could be said, increasingly, of our students' perspective of World War II and your grandfather's service as president. I know what I said on WITF, but what would you say to that argument that the study of something that goes back 60, 70 years ago doesn't really have relevance today?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, first of all, I would say that World War II is always going to be a little easier to understand simply because there are videos and there are photographs. You do have some of those from the civil war, but not anything like the documentation that took place during World War II. I have found, in taking students to Normandy, it has not been a limitation that it took place 75 years ago. Everything that is historic requires some kind of imagination. But I think the principles of my grandfather's era are eerily contemporary, and I think that's what's so striking for me. I've spent the last year working on a book and what came out of this for me was just how resonant the issues are with what we're facing today.
Bob Iuliano: Say more. What do you see as the points of connection?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, first of all, we have the impression that we came out of World War II a united, victorious country. Yes, we came out of World War II as a victorious country, but certainly not a united one. The question of whether or not the New Deal was going to continue, whether or not American business would be regarded with respect again, because they were blamed largely for the Great Depression. There are all sorts of deep divides. Labor unrest, vast technological change that was exacerbated and initiated, actually, by World War II itself, and all of these things are going on at the same time. My grandfather had a very hard time deciding whether or not to run for president. I mean, this agonizing decision went on for six whole years. He was being courted by both political parties. And, Bob, I would say that he was arguably the most nonpartisan president we've had since maybe some other military general was a two-term president. And that only leaves us with perhaps George Washington, and we could certainly debate Ulysses S. Grant.
Susan Eisenhower: But he didn't care much about what political party people came from. He was trying to create what he the middle way, a road so broad that there could be a meeting place for consensus and reconciliation and all the other compromise. He worried a lot about the extremes of the left and the right, and the nihilists and the this and the that, because he'd seen what the result was in Europe.
Bob Iuliano: This may be an impossible question to answer, but if he were alive today, what do you think he would seek to do to bridge those divides that are so much more pronounced now than they've been for a very long time in American society?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, I'd say two things. First off, is that he would work very hard to try to unite this country around some central ideas. That's how he conducted his eight year presidency. And I think he would start right at the very beginning with setting standards for civil discourse. I live in Washington DC where it gives me ready access to our Washington office there, at the Eisenhower Institute, and it doesn't take a genius to know that we are failing, hugely, in that regard. I think this is almost universally underway. It's just a complete degradation of the way we talk to each other.
Bob Iuliano: I think you know this, but the Eisenhower Institute has begun sponsoring programs on our campus. The first happened just last weekend. Really designed to help the community figure out how to talk about hard questions constructively, how to reach across political divides. We are a place that actually encourages the exchange of different ideas. That's fundamental to who we are as an institution. I'm looking forward to the Eisenhower Institute continuing to sponsor these programs between now and November 2020. As I've been fond of saying, Susan, I want us to have the opportunity to learn from and about the election, not to be divided by it. I think that's a role that the Eisenhower Institute can distinctively play.
Susan Eisenhower: Well, I think it's a terrific initiative. Not only because I think it is a completely in keeping with Dwight Eisenhower's view of good leadership and good leadership development. But I think there's another issue here too, which is learning how to talk to people is a skill. And I think there are many well-meaning people today who are falling into this trap of personalizing and insulting people, accidentally or otherwise, and they need to learn those skills again. Then I think the other thing that Dwight Eisenhower would do is he'd redefine leadership. We are now at a point in our history where the definition of leadership is staking out your territory, digging your heels in, and not moving an inch least you look weak.
Susan Eisenhower: Now, the generation that fought World War II knew perfectly well that if they hadn't compromised, literally, on an hourly basis, we wouldn't have won the war. The only guy who wasn't compromising was Adolph Hitler. And last time I checked we took care of that problem in 1945. So, the dynamism of diversity, diverse strategic perspectives, and diverse ways of looking at a problem, really gave the Allies enormous advantage during that war. I think it's terrific that we're able to address those challenges and those opportunities head on.
Bob Iuliano: And in addition, I should note, we have the Garthwait Leadership Center, which is very much seeking to inculcate the skills, the very skills that you've identified, and your point about diversity is something that matters to us enormously. We are seeking to ensure that we have as diverse a community as possible because we think we are stronger for that, and we know that we learn more by virtue of it. A couple of more questions, Susan. One is, what advice would your grandfather give to students today?
Susan Eisenhower: Oh, I think it's very clear that he would say there's lots to be optimistic about. Really, he was a huge optimist, even in the face of the 1968 riots and the sit-ins and the public disruption and the vitriolic way people related to each other in those days. He always remained optimistic all the way to the end. Boy, I admire that about him.
Bob Iuliano: Would you give students any different advice than your grandfather?
Susan Eisenhower: No, I don't think so. I am trying very hard to stay cheerful in the face of all this. I do find the endless hand-wringing and the rest of it absolutely unproductive. I've sat in meetings in Washington where everybody says, "Well, that's off the table." So I raise my hand and say, "Well, let's put together a strategy to get it back on the table." This kind of passive it's all too hard type thing is not worthy of our country. Our country has always stepped up to the plate and now's the time to do it.
Bob Iuliano: And, as you note, there are a thousand different ways to make a difference. You don't necessarily need to solve the big problem by solving the big problem. You start by solving some of the smaller problems.
Susan Eisenhower: Exactly.
Bob Iuliano: And part of what we do here is we give students the opportunity to solve big problems and solve small problems simultaneously, whether it's through our Center For Public Service or through other activities that happen. You've written a book, or are about to release a book. Say more about that. What was the experience like? What's it about?
Susan Eisenhower: Well, what was the experience like? Well, it was pretty intense, I have to say. I didn't realize how affecting it was. I was 17 when my grandfather died. I spent a huge amount of time with him when he was here at Gettysburg. And wow, I had to say goodbye again. That was pretty hard. Having said that, I do not wander in and out of the pages of this book that much because it's really about his biggest decisions. The book's going to be called How Ike Led: The Principles Behind His Biggest Decisions. I take apart the various elements that were under consideration as he looked at some very big domestic and geopolitical challenges.
Bob Iuliano: You've written other books. Was this harder?
Susan Eisenhower: I think on an emotional level it was. Because, first of all, it is so resonant for me, the chapter about Joseph McCarthy and the pernicious influence he had on the political environment in the United States. That, of course, has some resonance domestically, and the deep divisions that he spoke to. We had that same feeling. Then there were many issues about technological change. He loved his scientists, you know? He really did. He made extraordinary use of the scientific community in setting a set of standards and goals for these rapid technological changes. And you can just see so much of what's going on in these years. That was a little hard because I wish we had him back. But, I'm really glad I did it. I'm glad I did it. I once wrote a book on my grandmother's life, which was really a story of the two of them. So, we could just call this the bookend.
Bob Iuliano: Well, I'm looking forward to reading it. Susan, I don't know how to say thank you enough. Thank you for this conversation. Thank you for introducing the Eisenhower Institute and Gettysburg and helping that marriage work. Thank you for what you do with our students. I've talked to so many of them and they find that engagement so remarkable and so uplifting and inspiring and eye-opening. Thank you for today. Thank you for everything.
Susan Eisenhower: Well, it was my pleasure.
Bob Iuliano: Let me conclude with a slice of life at Gettysburg College. We're recording this just a few days before Thanksgiving, and just a few days ago I was so pleased to participate for the first time in a heartwarming Gettysburg tradition, Servo Thanksgiving. For those of you who don't know about this tradition, the faculty and staff serve students a full Thanksgiving dinner: turkey, stuffing, and all the fixings. This is the time of year where everyone is feeling the weight of having been at their studies for nearly three straight months, and the dinner had the students with huge smiles on their faces and very full stomachs by evening's end. It was a great event. In fact, the dinner is such a powerful draw that as I walked to Penn hall before 8 a.m., students had already begun lining up. Mind you, the doors to Servo didn't open until 4:30 and it's starting to get chilly in the mornings here. Gettysburg, great in action, to be sure.
Bob Iuliano: Parents, we pride ourselves on giving students a top notch education. I have to admit that we have failed in one respect. We have a long way to go before we can declare competency in our students' turkey carving skills. We'll see if we can improve next year.
Bob Iuliano: Let me end on a more serious note. As I think about the season, I feel truly thankful for the chance to be part of this community, to see the passion and dedication of our students, and to work with our remarkable faculty to bring our educational mission to life.
Bob Iuliano: Thanks for listening. If you've enjoyed this conversation and want to be notified of future episodes, please subscribe to Conversations Beneath the Cupola by visiting Gettysburg.edu.

Fresh additions to the set list
Last Friday evening, Micky and Peter debuted their new concert show in Palm Springs, California. "I'll Spend My Life With You" and "Tear The Top Right Off My Head" made their live Monkees concert debuts.
"I'll Spend My Life With You"
This song, long a favorite of Peter's, was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. The Monkees recorded the track for their third album, Headquarters.
"I'll Spend My Life With You" was first put to tape during sessions for More of The Monkees, but this version remained unreleased until 1991's Listen to the Band box set:
"Tear The Top Right Off My Head"
One of several songs Peter wrote and recorded during sessions for The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees, "Tear The Top Right Off My Head" was relegated to the vaults in the late '60s, finally receiving an official release in 1991. I've always thought this track should have made the cut for the Birds LP.
"Tear The Top" was first previewed on the second season episode, "Hitting the High Seas."

The Northern Chapter encompasses a large geographical area that runs from the Quebec border to the Manitoba border and, from the Muskoka's to Hudson's Bay. Due to our immense area and travel constraints we are limited to a Spring Meeting and then meet again at the Annual APSAO Fall Conference. The Spring Meeting is usually held in Sudbury for those who can attend in person and the rest of our chapter members are teleconferenced. Although APSWs are housed in a variety of agencies [ACLs, Generic Services, Children Services and Mental Health agencies] we all offer the same services.
Le Chapitre du Nord entoure un grand secteur géographique qui court de la frontière Québécoise à l'est, à la frontière de Manitoba et, de Muskoka à la Baie d'Hudson. En raison de notre secteur immense et contraintes de voyage nous sommes limités à une Réunion Printanière et nous rencontrons de nouveau à la Conférence d'Autonne d'APSAO Annuelle. Les réunions sont d'ordinaire tenues a Sudbury pour ceux qui peuvent être présents en personne et le reste de nos membres de chapitre par teleconference. Bien que les Intervenants en Protection des Adults [IPA] soient logés dans une variété d'agences [d'ACLs à générique aux Services d'Enfants et aux agences de Santé mentale] nous offrons tous les mêmes services.
The South East Chapter of Adult Protective Services Association is located from Oshawa in the east, to the Quebec border excluding northern areas. Renfrew and Ottawa fall within our geographic area.
* to provide a mechanism for advocacy on behalf of our clients by lobbying on a provincial level and liaising with other committees and associations.
Individually (within our sponsoring) agencies, we provide case management, counseling, and advocacy services for persons with a developmental disability as defined by the Ministry of Community and Social Services Guidelines. There is variation in how service are provided and program title but roles and funding are ultimately determined by MCCSS.
It is often difficult for us to connect but we do so at an annual spring conference event. This is an excellent training opportunity at little or no expense, usually open to members and non-members. We have the capacity to video conference meetings and hope to conduct a few video conference training events in 2013 -2014. Speakers will be available.
We are in need of representatives locally and who are willing to travel to Toronto 3-4 times per year and speak on behalf of the Chapter. If you are interested, please contact APSAO.
The Chapter meets at the Community Living Toronto location at 30 Birch Ave, Toronto several times a year and also host an annual learning opportunity.
Please contact Dasha for further information on the number above.
The South West Chapter of APSAO meets on a quarterly basis. Meetings are held in Woodstock at the Welkin at 912 Dundas Street. Our meetings are intended to provide a forum for networking, discussion, information sharing and planning relating to services for adults with developmental disabilities who are living independently in the community. Designated representatives from the South West Chapter bring the concerns of the Chapter to the Executive of APSAO.
There are regular meetings throughout the year. All APSW's working in the South West Region of Ontario are invited to attend.

In this article we will discuss various different ways of using Twitter and how to make use of it as a small business. The advice contained here is aimed at the very small business, as well as individuals who are their own brand such as authors, journalists and artists.
There are several kinds of Twitter user, they are not mutually exclusive.
The first kind is the social user. The social twitter user enjoys friendly banter with others, engages in random conversations, and plays #hashtag games. (Witty comments all posted using the same keyword prefixed with a # so that others can see and join in.) They may well present information or a persona that they would not want to be linked with their professional life. This kind of tweeter generally follows and engages with most of the people that follow them. This is the average twitter user.
The second kind is the reporter. The reporter actively seeks out news stories and items of interest and then retweets them to their followers. The reporter is often also a social user.
The third kind is company announcements. This is what it sounds like; a business that uses twitter purely to announce products, articles, press releases, or other commercial events.
The fourth kind is the damage limitation account. Typical of very large business such as BT or the Royal Mail, these exist purely to sweep twitter for negative information and respond to it in as low profile a way as possible, and fix the problem as quickly as possible to make it go away. This kind of user may even delete tweets once a problem is dealt with.
A final, rare kind, is the spoof account. Two popular ones are @Queen_UK and @DMReporter, spoofing the queen and the Daily Mail respectively.
Imagine that you have just bought a new computer. It might have cost you upwards of four hundred pounds. So you get it home, plug it in, manage to look at some web pages, and… then what?

*

*the family of functions $\{y=ax: a\in \mathbb{R}\}$ already has the cardinality of the continuum,

*the cardinality of family of continuous functions is at most the cardinality of $\mathbb{R}$ (since the value at rational points uniquely identify a function)...

Watching the TV's show Empire the other night, it suddenly hit me that the program was a black hip hop version of of the Trump regime. Empire is one of those shows that is so complex and with so many characters doing so many bad things that it is easy to lose your place. As I was struggling to orient myself after having not watched it for some weeks, I realized that my mental efforts were almost precisely the same as those I experienced trying to keep track of everything the Trump regime was doing wrong.
The music empire and its main participants have no goals other than power and money. There is no ideology nor faith. The corporation is run by Lucious Lyon, a man of a seedy past and an uninhibited willingness to use his strength and dubious skills to continue his tradition into the future. He has three sons who wish to follow in his path, with or without his approval, and then you have numerous other characters who see the empire at least in part as their own territory.
What is notable is the near total absence of decency, morality or kindness. Everyone in the Empire's environment is on their own, working the system for what they can get, and highly liberated from such common feelings as loyalty, honesty, or forthrightness.
To follow this show has been difficult. To have so many people telling lies, misleading others, or physically threatening them is hard to track.
But then I realized that this is precisely how I feel about following the Trump regime. How, for example, does one retain a clear view of various members of its mob dealing with the Russians? Are the children of Lucious Trump his victims or are they also endangering him? Why is there no one to like or trust? Who are the least evil and who are the most? Are there any issues that will take precedence over personal greed?
This sort of thing might be described as anarchy, but that suggests a certain random chaos when what is happening here is the constant conflict of those to whom policy or procedure is determinedly incidental to their own power. It is not random so much as multitudinous. Like the players in Empire everyone wants to be on top. And soon.
Will the police bring down Lucious and his mad world? Will the FBI or the NY Attorney General bring down Trump and his?
Who knows? But as we watch the Trump disaster, it may help to also follow Lucious and his empire. There are times when fiction can be clearer than reality.


Individuals wishing to adopt an animal from our shelter must complete a screening form. After the form is processed, there is a $15.00 adoption fee for cats, $25.00 for dogs, plus a $25.00 charge for cats and $35.00 for dogs, for spaying or neutering.
It is required by Virginia State Law and the Shenandoah County Ordinance that all animals adopted from the shelter be spayed or neutered. A special voucher will be given to the "adoptee" for the amount of deposit. The voucher can then be applied toward the cost of spaying and neutering at participating veterinarian offices.

The stock market pointed to big gains at the start of the week as investors eyed the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine and advancing discussions surrounding a stimulus bill to help boost the ailing United States economy.
As of 9:00 a.m. ET, Dow futures rose 226 points, or 0.75%, while futures for the S&P and Nasdaq improved a respective 24.75 points, or 0.68%, and 46 points, or 0.37%.

Today, doses of the vaccine developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and biotechnology firm BioNTech are due to be administered to Americans following emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. About 2.9 million inoculations are shipping out this week as part of the initial batch, which will be distributed first to health-care workers as well as residents and workers in long-term care facilities.

The vaccine rollout is bolstering optimism that the recent surge in COVID-19 cases could be tempered in the coming months, leading governments to lift renewed stay-at-home orders and restrictions on nonessential business. Health authorities have expressed concerns about a further spread of the outbreak in the cooler months and holiday season, which could bring on more indoor gatherings and crowds at public places.
What's more, U.S. lawmakers suggested that they were willing to compromise on the terms of a long-debated second sweeping stimulus. On Sunday, a bipartisan group of congressional leaders announced plans to split the $908 billion coronavirus-related relief package into two proposals: One measure would cost $748 billion, which would support small businesses through loans and unemployed Americans via jobless benefits, as well as back the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. The other would provide $160 billion in state and local aid, plus include liability protections for businesses.
According to Johns Hopkins University researchers, more than 16.25 million people in the U.S. have been sickened by the novel coronavirus. At least 299,100 deaths have been recorded.

What Do Poetry and Police Brutality Have In Common?
|In Blog, On Books & Writing
Today, these words opened Nicole Brodeur's column in The Seattle Times:
Seattle City Councilman Nick Licata starts every meeting of the Public Safety, Civil Rights & Arts Committee with a poetry reading.
It's his attempt to get people to think beyond agendas both paper and personal — and to remember the art of civil communication.
Especially when the topic is as volatile as public safety.
Today's poem better be a doozy. The Office of Professional Accountability Review Board (OPARB) is to present its annual findings on how Seattle police are doing their jobs.
Someone handed this article to my wife this afternoon… right before she walked into the City Council chambers to read one of her poems to the committee and the assembly.
The person introducing her addressed the crowd of irritable Seattle citizens and said, "I don't know if you've seen today's paper or not. If you have, let me assure you… this poem IS a doozy."
Anne made it through the reading with flying colors, and received a warm ovation.
I'm so proud of her.
Hey Jeff, We're proud of her too. Geoff and Melody.
Jeffrey Overstreet
Nice to know you're here! Didn't know they HAD Internet up there in the frozen wastes of Alaska!
What, pray tell, was that doozy of a poem?
Let me see if I can coax Anne into sharing it with us. Or perhaps it's one that's published in her book… I'll let you know.
Aha… it was a poem called "Shade Half Drawn," and it's included in Anne's first published collection: Delicate Machinery Suspended.

Dawson & Sanderson, the privately owned, independent travel agent with 22 stores across the North East of England, has selected d-flo TravelComms software to enhance its post-reservation customer communications and provide a multi-channel experience.
London, 20 August 2018: d-flo Limited, the innovative customer communications specialist, who enable their clients to achieve operational efficiencies, lower costs and increased brand loyalty, today announced that Dawson & Sanderson will commence using their TravelComms solution to manage their post-reservation customer communications.
Kasia Orchard, Digital CRM Manager of Dawson & Sanderson commented: "As our business has grown to serve over 5 million customers with products from over 500+ tour operators so has our document processing.
Being predominantly a store-based travel agency, we have traditionally communicated with our customers in print form – at both point of sale and from head office. Whilst we intend to maintain the personal touch our customers value, there has been a growing need to embrace new digital channels to improve their experience and our internal processes.
It was clear from their demonstration that d-flo's TravelComms solution will make our travel documentation more personalised and more visually appealing. Reducing our print and post with stunning new email communications will improve our image and drastically reduce our costs. And including links for customers to view their travel documentation securely on line – whenever they want and from wherever they are – will not only expose more of them to our web site and help prevent a GDPR breach in the event of sending travel documents to the wrong customer but consequently provide a better service."

When a friend is going through a tough time, it can be hard to know how to support them in a way that actually helps them. Often, it's hard to know what is best for someone, and sometimes it's our human nature to expect that our friends need what we think they need or that they will benefit from what has worked for us. This is especially true when a friend is feeling depressed. But how do you know if they're dealing with depression, what should you do, and when should you tell their loved ones?
Here, we rounded up some important things to keep in mind when supporting a friend who's depressed.
How do I know if my friend is depressed?
According to psychotherapist Vanessa Kensing, depression is characterized by feelings of sadness, loss of interest, changes in sleep and appetite, low mood and energy levels, and difficulty concentrating. Since depression can look or feel different for each person, it can be hard to identify. However, Kensing says that if you notice your friend constantly changes their behavior, for example if they keep canceling plans, don't seem interested in things they used to enjoy, or act more irritable and down in the dumps, they could be struggling with depression.
Ask your friend what they need right now.
It can be hard to ask for help, especially when you're experiencing a bout of depression. With this, Kensing says the best thing you can do to support a friend is to outright ask what your friend needs, and how you can support them in whatever they're going through. "Some people need to know that you will listen without trying to 'fix' them, while others may want you to be more proactive in your assistance," asserts Kensing. Asking how they feel or what they need, instead of making assumptions or suggestions will show them that you're there merely to listen and without judgment.
Be curious and compassionate about what's going on with them.
While stigma around mental health is slowly dissolving, it can still be hard to identify or accept that you're struggling with depression. For this reason, Kensing recommends approaching a friend with depression with a framework of curiosity. Don't try to therapize or diagnose someone, instead ask thoughtful and supportive questions in a way that invites them to speak openly about what's going on with them. This will give them a sense of safety, which could lead them to be more honest and help them release pent up emotions.
Don't expect yourself to become someone's sole support system.
Know when to reach out for additional support.
If your friend is discussing intentional plans to harm themselves you should immediately reach out to emergency services. "Depending on your friend's relationships with family, it may be appropriate to reach out to them for additional support," says Kensing. According to her, some major indicators of that this could be a good idea is if a friend isn't keeping up with obligations, for example school work, and not caring for themselves (e.g. not eating or not attending to hygiene).
Self Care or Self Sabotage?


Acknowledging addiction and asking for help is hard.
But when the signs and struggles of addiction are accepted and the desire to make a change exists, the path to recovery can start.
Recovery from addiction is hard.
It is a life-long journey with unplanned stops, detours, twists, turns, peaks and valleys. Although the path to recovery may not be direct or easy, the destination is worth the journey.
LaurelCare helps clients progress through the stages of addiction treatment and provides the care and support needed to overcome the challenges and obstacles encountered along the way.

Yıldız Holding Vice Chairman Ali Ülker accepted the award from Berat Albayrak, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources.
Sustainability across all the Yildiz Holding companies is handled with great care. The company deeply understands that increasing scarcity of the world's resources and the need for a long-term outlook is essential both for the company and for the wellbeing of future generations.
The sustainability projects undertaken by Yıldız Holding companies have proudly received many awards. In this year's "Energy Efficiency Awards", organized by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry (ICI) Besler Gıda was announced the winner with its project concerning the efficient use of energy resources for sustainable development. Berat Albayrak, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, presented the award to Ali Ülker, Vice Chairman of Yıldız Holding, at the ceremony held recently at its ICI Odakule building.
The award recognized the efforts of Ülker Biskuvi, where Besler Gıda is an important raw material supplier. Ulker Bisküvi, which published its second Sustainability Report recently, achieved an overall reduction of 15% water consumption per unit production in the last two years. Describing the water savings, the company has already saved the equivalent daily water consumption of 2.1 million people. It is now set well to achieve its goal of a 30% overall reduction in water usage by 2024.
The company also has a goal of increasing energy efficiency by 25 percent and has achieved energy savings of 9.3 thousand MWh. This is equivalent to around 1.1 million people's daily electricity consumption.
In the area of logistics; developments on vehicle capacity and utilization rates, the use of trailers and the efficiency of pallets have all combined to reduce the number of roundtrips. Since 2014, carbon emissions have reduced by about 430 tonnes on shipments from factories to distributors. Compared to the year 2015, the same amount of product took 2 million fewer kms to reach the consumer.

One of the areas I've found frustrating about working with IBM is the lack of any way to track down technical issues and fixes – even to work out what issues have been resolved and what haven't tends to involve a bit of detective work.
Almost every gathering of XIV-focused professionals I've been to, whether customers, business partners or IBM themselves, invariably has a point in time where the subject turns to discovered issues. And every time, I hear the same issues being discussed, usually all known issues which were resolved in the last firmware iteration but one, and each time voices from all around say.
Contrast this with other vendors, where there is at least an attempt to keep up to date with known and resolved issues – any time I need to know why a Clariion is acting weird, I can go onto Powerlink and chances are, the issue and a fix or workaround will be documented in their internal knowledgebase. Coming from an airline background, where every change to the diameter of a rivet is documented, stamped and approved, I find the mere existence of a central change log weirdly comforting, so this adhoc approach is seriously beginning to bend my head.
I've asked questions on this subject at several IBM Q&A sessions – each time I get told that it's a "good idea" and "someone will look into it".
So anyway, all of this is leading up to the reason for a new tab in the top right corner of the front page. Titled "XIV Issues & Fixes", it's my stab at an unofficial issue log until IBM get their collective finger out. At the very least I'll be posting my own experiences and findings in the table, but consider this an open invitation: if you're an XIV user and/or business partner (or even IBM if they'll let you) feel free to contribute to the list.
I'm not interested in anything under NDA, competitor FUD or maybes and might be's, but if you've come across a solid issue, workaround, undocumented process or best practice, let me know and I'll write it up (and make sure you get full credit 🙂 ). The list is in text-only form at the moment, but when I get time I'm planning to add links to PDF documents with the full text, so be as detailed as you feel necessary.

The JBT help website (Case study) — Welcome to my portfolio!
Average users visited 2.4 pages and spent 3.5 minutes on the site. Coupled with a decrease in call volume, this showed that people quickly found the answers they looking for.
We are responsive to our users needs: We added an onboarding video to our site after beta tester feedback.
We incorporated hover-over animations to our walkthroughs to increase understanding and interest.
I led the project, from initial conception to final output. I worked with a team of designers, and subject matter experts.
On average, an employee needs to use 9 different programs to do their job effectively. Each program is updated regularly, and learning those new features can be difficult to keep up with and cuts into the users productivity. We knew we needed to create a way to allow clients to get answers to their questions quickly.
Before site launch, if a user had a question they would call the help call center. This phone line would frequently have 5-10 minute wait times.
We were able to leverage pre-existing analytics to anticipate pain-points, develop an easy-to-understand, approachable writing style, and create an optimal communication campaign for our content. We also created persona scenarios to anchor our thinking and justify design decisions.
We experimented with various mediums, such as print collateral, but found engaging digital assets and video was better for step-by-step directions/training.
Taking Google's excellent material design white-paper as inspiration, we were able to create a very clean, fully-responsive website that shows animated step-by-step directions. An onboarding video, which utilized Adobe's new Character Animator program, welcomed the user to the site serving as their concierge.
We are able to decrease the call volume by 25%.
Average users visited 2.4 pages and spent 3.5 minutes while using the site.


Welcome to Week 13 of the 2015 EP Poll. In the latest rankings Stallions jumped up 2 spots and that is a big move when you are in the top 5 as three other Analysts finally realized what I stated three weeks ago that Stallions are the true #3. With 4 Analysts ranking them #3, it was inevitable that they will leapfrog Indus and Warriors. Last week Falcons, Warriors and Beavers had opportunities to make bulleting board headlines but they all came up short by a mile and then some. Huge wins for FCC and Lions as they make a final push at a possible playoff spot and if they can win out the remaining games or the important games then we will see history in the making as far as these teams are considered. Bridges beat up Arsenal as Bridges discover form just at the right time with Kishan back in charge. Meanwhile Blues Harsha Singam had a statement game as he stamped his trademark Singham signature all over the Icons to set the high mark in runs scored for this week while Glads Hariharan was the toast amongst the bowlers despite impressive 5 wkt hauls from FCC's Venkat Gandham and BT's ageless wonder Mujahid Ali. Stallions outplayed BT for most of the game before the old disel cranked it up but the race was on the Monza F1 circuit and on those kind of circuits the Diesel powered engines are no match for the high Octane fuel powered state of the art engines!!! The person who took responsibility for the comments this week was a no show so we release with no comments after a futile wait!!!

Firstly, a massive 'Thank You' to everyone who filled in the TLT survey earlier this year: 129 responses were received from churches and projects throughout the diocese; this represents a response rate of 49%.
The overall picture the survey provided was deeply encouraging and painted a picture of our diocese that's rich and heavily engaged in tackling poverty in all its various forms at a local level. 92% of the churches (and projects) which responded had already established a regular activity which met a need in their local community. 70% of were working with frail, elderly people, 31% were working with families with complex needs and 22.5% were working with unemployed people over the age of 18. The table below (Fig. 1) shows the different areas of work as well as the level of interaction our churches have with the individual issues. And we're generally good at sharing our work – 70% of respondents were working in partnership with other churches and organisations in their community.
Q11. Are you addressing any of the following issues in any of the ways specified?
The data provided for the issues which respondents felt caused most concern were broken down by local authority areas. On the Wirral the top 3 concerns were lonliness and isolation, family/relationship problems and health and well-being. Churches within Cheshire East identified the loneliness and isolation, and family and relationship problems as the top two most pressing issues.
The priorities were slightly different in CWAC: loneliness and isolation, poor transport links, debt and family/relationship problems were highlighted.
So the survey highlighted both the pressing needs of communities and also brought to light the exciting and diverse work being done by our churches in this diocese to tackle poverty and alleviate these needs. It's an amazing picture!
What difference will this actually make?
Well, firstly, let's just take a moment to think about what we're a part of. The report published in June this year by Church Urban Fund and Theos (which you can find here) highlighted the ongoing impressive work of the church in England. The sheer number of people reached, outside of 'familiar' church activities is staggering – 10 million people each year access some form of social welfare through a Christian community. Churches play a pivotal role in enriching their community and helping it to flourish, with a particualr emphasis on encouraging neighbourliness by developing relationships and social connections. The experience of those benefiting from the churches outreach is overwhelmingly positive, with the majority finding the care provided by the church to be empathetic, trust-worthy and personal. As such, church-based social action is more likely to be embedded in the local community, and share a sense of joint 'ownership'.
And of course, this is just the beginning of the picture. The thing which makes us truly unique is the awesome task we have been entrusted with to share the love of the risen Christ in our communities and for the welfare of our cities. I think what's truly exciting is how in our diocese the shared understanding our survey highlighted is that we offer the love of Christ through our actions and outreach as part of our proclamation of the Gospel.
The survey is going to assist Transforming Lives Together to equip and enable more people and churches to reach their communities in new and exciting ways through the start of a really useful database. The information provided has not just already helped shape the initial direction of TLT, but also enabled the beginnings of a diocesan wide connection of those on the 'front line'. Through offering support and encouragement, prayer and time and money, TLT hopes to see these connections flourish in order to see the work of each individual and church flourish and grow.
Perhaps the most exciting response of all was that 98% of those surveyed wanted to do more to reach their communities. As God's people we collectively recognise the need to grow and reach out and do something more to reach our neighbours with Christ's love, through loving word and loving action. In this way together we will see the Kingdom grow and be a positive force for good in our local communities.
Over to you – what do you want to do? What's your dream for your community and your church? What part of God's mission have you caught a vision of? What do you want to do about it?

Following the federal government's decision not to make what's known as the "morning after" pill an over-the-counter drug, Planned Parenthood of Delaware (PPDE) is speaking out.
Currently, the emergency contraception, also known as Plan B One Step is kept behind pharmacy counters. Women age 17 and over must ask for the drug and show proof of age. Women under the age of 17 can only access it with a prescription.
The organization cites scientific findings proving the "morning after" pill is a safe and effective way to prevent unplanned pregnancies. PPDE also points to studies showing adolescents are fully capable determining when and how Plan B should be used without help from a health care provider.
In a news conference Thursday, President Obama said he supports Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius' decision.


DOG DNA is giving the game away for inconsiderate dog owners who don't clear up after their hounds.
Thanks to a new scheme for identifying doggy doo-doos, Valencia Town Hall has reduced poos on the pavement by 80% in the town of Xativa.
All dog owners in the town have to be listed on a municipal register, which helps police identify owners based on their dog's DNA.
The scheme – which launched just three months ago – has proved so successful the police only have to carry out the unpleasant job once a week.
The illustration appears to show that it is English speaking people who are careless about crap.
It probably is English speakers as they tend to have the dogs on leads so more in a position to clean up. Whereas many locals let their dogs roam free.
When will scheme run to other parts of Spain. I'll have to see it to believe it. The streets were we live are covered in crap. And even with special places for dogs to do it, the owners let them pee on the pavement right in front of you.

Home News Environment Bolivia's Tuni glacier will disappear soon, faster than expected
Bolivia's Tuni glacier will disappear soon, faster than expected
The Animal Reader

Bolivia's Tuni glacier in the Andes Mountains is disappearing faster than initially anticipated, according to scientists from the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés (UMSA), who monitor the Tuni and other regional glaciers.
The scientists told Reuters the once stretched glacier had been reduced to just one square kilometer. They first thought the Tuni glacier would last till 2025, but now the scientists say it will disappear soon.
Though the glacier has been receding since the Little Ice Age, the fast-changing climate has accelerated the process, according to the Bolivian scientists.
"This entire sector was once covered with ice," said Dr. Edson Ramírez, a university glaciologist. Now, only rocks remain, exposed for the first time in centuries. Heavy rains and drought have become more common and mountain snows are less predictable.
The mountain ice has fed rivers used for watering crops and supply at least 20% of the capital La Paz with water, the scientists say. Yola Choque, who grows quinoa in the town of Viacha, about 25 km from the city of La Paz, says his crop has suffered.
"It has not rained for months, I think it must be due to climate change, that is why Pachamama (Mother Earth) got angry and it does not rain," he said in his native Aymara language.

Say Hello to the new look Gitter
Mike Bartlett
http://twitter.com/mydigitalself
Mike is one of the founders at Gitter. He's mostly a product guy, but writes a bit of code, makes pixels and tea. Yes, he also has a beard.
Today we're launching an updated look for Gitter. It's cleaner, simpler and makes the popular All conversations view and direct messages more obvious and usable.
TLDR: Try it out here. It's only the web and desktop versions that have changed, the mobile application and mobile web bits are still exactly the same. You can switch it off here. To enable it for your desktop version, take a look at this Topic.
After reworking the UI earlier in the year many thought we had taken away the single view across all of your conversations. Some people didn't like the heavy feel of menu navigation.
Today is the first step in fixing some of these issues.
The UI has been completely cleaned up. You'll notice it's pretty white, fear not; some darker and coloured themes are in the works and will be rolled out soon.
We've simplified the primary menu navigation on the left and added a notification badge to the All Conversation view. Accessing a community is now an extra click away, but with added text descriptions as opposed to often cryptic and confusing icons. To strike a better balance here, we will soon be adding shortcuts to your favourite communities, so this should make navigating your regular communities pretty simple.
You'll also notice the community home pages (like this one) have been given a facelift.
This is still a work in progress. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to drop by gitterHQ/gitter or why not test out and create a Topic in our community.
