Ex CEO of Housing dot com ventures into risky online retail business
By Raaghav G R
The latest news: Two of the former executives of the firm Housing.com, namely Rishabh Gupta and Vaibhav Chhimpa have now taken a bold risk and are venturing into the risky business of online retailing. Both Rishabh and Vaibhav are alumina of IIT. Mr. Gupta has done mechanical engineering from IIT whereas Mr. Chhimpa has done computer science engineering from the same institution. Their startup is called The box and is a subscription-based groceries startup. Chhimpa will oversee product development and marketing while Gupta will handle operations, human resources, administration and finance. Their app is in the testing phase and only a beta version of it has been launched. It is expected to be launched as an app – based service by the end of this November.
Why the risk and Mr. Gupta's vision: According to Gupta, most grocery startups are struggling because they source from retailers, who are at the bottom of the chain and struggle to make margins. They felt the pinch of a slowdown in funding and couldn't find sustainable growth models in a segment plagued with wafer-thin margins, high logistics and customer acquisitions costs, and fierce competition. Gupta said The Box will source products from distributors and wholesalers of brands, and do last-mile delivery to customers' homes. The company will have its own sorting center where the goods will be distributed as per the orders placed. Gupta said the bulk of the planned investment will go toward developing the design of the packaging and on logistics. Initially, the firm will only offer its services in Mumbai and then slowly expand to other areas. "This is a new model, so we want to understand what the customer wants. We will select a few geographies and focus our efforts in these places only", he said.
Our take: Online retailing is a very risky business indeed and the fact that both Mr. Gupta and Mr. Chhimpa are graduates from IIT does not guarantee success. They have to be careful and design a flawless and fast final mobile app. They must understand their customers' needs and expand accordingly. Many startups like GrocShop, PepperTap, LazyLad, MovinCart and Aagaar have failed in this sector. The rising costs of logistics are another challenge to tackle. The packaging of products has to be appealing to attract customers. Planned expenditure should be made in advertising the product to make the advertisements effective and profit – making. However these challenges also do not mean that they will fail. a few startups in this segment are still growing and have raised funding as well. The biggest player in the segment is BigBasket, which said in March it raised $150 million (Rs 1,000 crore) from investors including the UAE-based private equity investor Abraaj Group and International Finance Corporation. In August, Pune-based hyper local delivery startup Tokri secured $2.5 million in funding from the Syska LED group. Read more on Startups

San Deigo's most nautical neighborhood of Shelter Island is also one of its best-kept secrets, boasting shockingly good live entertainment, restaurants with world-class views (and Mai Tais!), and a multitude of ways to have fun on the water.
Not actually an island, but an artificially built-up peninsula developed in the 1950s that connects to the San Diego mainland in the Point Loma community.
Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, San Diego Yacht Club, San Diego Zoo.
The island was designed to provide safe shelter, as a peaceful oasis in the middle of a busy city harbor.
In the 1960s, the Los Angeles Times described the 1.2-mile Shelter Island as a fantastic, man-made creation – "something from nothing," and "a testimonial to human ingenuity." It all sprung from what was originally just a sandbank, only visible at low tide. During World War II, the San Diego Bay had to accommodate larger ships, so the bay was dredged, and the sandbank was built up – eventually, more than 20 feet above high tide, and Shelter Island (after being developed through the 1950s) was born.
If you want to get out on the water but don't have your own gear, no need to venture far – Kona Kai Marina has you covered. Jet skis, kayaks, pedal boats, paddleboards, and even powerboats are available to rent at the marina. If you'd rather take it easy on land, Shoreline Park stretches the entire bayside width of the island and is a beautiful setting to enjoy the views – plus, there are spots for concessions, a bike path, play equipment, and even a fishing pier. The 500-foot-wide T-shaped pier extends 200 feet away from shore with common catches including yellowfin croaker, Pacific mackerel, and sand bass.
Many towns larger than Shelter Island aren't blessed with the sort of public art displays and entertainment like you'll find here – not to mention the gorgeous natural backdrop. There's the Yokohama Friendship Bell (a gift from Yokohama, Japan, to its sister city across the Pacific Ocean, San Diego), Pacific Portal (a concrete gazebo that marks where the bay meets the ocean, sculpted to almost look like waves are rolling out from each), and the Pearl of the Pacific (a fountain in Pacific Rim Park uniting the four quadrants of the Pacific Rim), among others. As for entertainment, Kona Kai Resort offers live music, and during the summer, Humphreys Live Concerts By The Bay does too, having drawn legends like Aretha Franklin, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, and Ringo Starr.
If you're near the San Diego coast, looking for a friendly port to dock at, scoot into Shelter Island. With a handful of dock-and-dine restaurants, marinas, and all the amenities the nautical community would need, it's a favored spot. The 500-slip Kona Kai Marina is the closest marina to the open ocean in the Bay and accommodates boats of all sizes. And we do mean all sizes – even those with superyachts are in luck because the bay is one of the few deep enough (due to the dredging during World War II) to accommodate the mega-vessels.
Harbor views, an inviting 360-degree bar, and Chef Roy Hendrickson's delicious, carefully-crafted, locally-sourced menu qualifies Vessel Restaurant at Kona Kai Resort as less of a resort dining option and more of a destination in its own right. Another spot to try during your visit: Bali Hai, practically an institution in San Diego, more than a half-century after its doors opened. Walk upstairs at the two-story, Tiki-themed dock-and-dine restaurant, and you'll marvel at the sparkling views of the Bay, Coronado's North Island, and even the city. They're famous for their Mai Tais, too – make sure to try a Mr. Bali Hai Mai Tai (served in a souvenir Tiki mug) if you visit.


Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez scored to keep Manchester United at the top of the Barclays Premier League on goal difference with a 2-1 win at West Brom. Rooney opened the scoring when he headed in Patrice Evra's cross on three minutes but James Morrison equalised with a long-range shot.
United got a big let off in the first half when referee Chris Foy turned down a penalty claim after Gary Neville sent Graham Dorrans flying when the midfielder was clean through. Neville should have been sent off for the tackle.
Peter Odemwingie later fired a penalty wide after Rio Ferdinand had fouled Jerome Thomas but Hernandez wrapped up the win with 15 minutes to go.
Manchester City are still level on points with their rivals after they won 1-0 at home to Blackpool. Adam Johnson shot home from long distance after the visitors had only cleared the ball to the edge of their area. City should have gone further ahead when Luke Varney fouled Yaya Toure but Carlos Tevez put the penalty wide.
Arsenal remain just two points behind the Manchester clubs in third place following an impressive 3-0 win at Birmingham in the late game. Robin van Persie's deflected free-kick on 13 minutes put the Gunners in charge, and Samir Nasri produced a classic Arsenal goal early in the second half to double their advantage. A Roger Johnson own goal on 66 minutes wrapped things up as Arsene Wenger's men topped off a dominant performance.
Joe Cole earned under-pressure Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson a vital 2-1 win after they had gone behind at home to Bolton. Kevin Davies was left unmarked at the back post to head in just before half-time at Anfield. But Liverpool drew level when half-time substitute Steven Gerrard chipped the ball into the path of Fernando Torres who fired in. Cole netted the winner when Gerrard's deep cross fell to him off a defender in added time.
West Ham moved out of the bottom three with a 2-0 home win over fellow relegation candidates Wolves. The Hammers went ahead through a Ronald Zubar own goal after 51 minutes. Carlton Cole failed to get a touch on a cross from Frederic Piquionne and the ball hit Zubar and went in. Freddie Sears netted the second when he shot home after Tal Ben Haim had slid the ball to him with 10 minutes to go.
Tottenham beat Fulham 1-0 as Gareth Bale headed the only goal. A free-kick from Rafael van der Vaart was headed past Mark Schwarzer by Bale who had been stood in the defensive wall. Spurs have moved above Chelsea into fourth ahead of the Blues' clash against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Goals from Danny Welbeck, Darren Bent and Asamoah Gyan earned Sunderland a 3-0 win at home to Blackburn. Welbeck opened the scoring when his shot from the edge of the area was deflected past goalkeeper Mark Bunn by Ryan Nelsen and Bent made it 2-0 when he headed in a cross from Ahmed Elmohamady. Gyan wrapped up the win just before the end.
Stoke won 2-0 at home to Everton, Kenwyne Jones rising to head in a cross from Matthew Etherington to give them the lead. Phil Jagielka extended Stoke's lead when he flicked the loose ball in after the visitors had failed to clear when Jones headed on a long free-kick.


Just over a week ago Sadiq Khan announced that he had appointed Margaret Hodge MP to oversee an full inquiry into the Garden Bridge, its finances, history and oversight. It was widely picked up across the media (even, briefly, the Evening Standard) and will not only raise awareness about the numerous issues and concerns with the project, but also shed more light into some of the many dark corners.
Here we look at what will be covered by the report, how it was reported and what it means for the nailing of the Garden Bridge coffin.
e) To produce a report for the Mayor of London, which will be published in full.
It has been stated that the purpose of the report is not to make the decision on whether to proceed with or cancel the bridge, or to ascertain the merits of it. However, these will clearly come into play – the Garden Bridge Trust will struggle to raise any donations while the inquiry is running and if its findings are damning it will be hard to see how it could continue.
Through reading up on the project's history Hodge will come to realise that there was no transport study demanding a crossing in this location and that there was no proper process followed by the former mayor or TfL for the procurements, project development or funding arrangements.
Margaret Hodge is a solid choice to chair this inquiry. Just over a year ago she stood down from her five years heading up the Parliamentary Accounts Commission, a position in which she became respected for a bulldog approach holding even the rich and entitled to account, as can be seen here in her grilling of the boss Matt Brittin of Google over tax arrangements.
In a Newsnight interview (see below) Hodge said that she would "get a van load of stuff" delivered to her house the next morning and just two days after accepting the position she was seen not far from the South Bank public park which would be destroyed for the Garden Bridge – so it seems she's jumped straight into the deep end!
There have been questions raised over the timing of this announcement as the inquiry had been promised by the mayor not only since the election but also throughout his electoral campaign. There had been concerns that it was yet another promise he would u-turn on and that it had been shelved – just a week ago journalists asking questions about it had been met by silence from the Mayor's office and responses from Assembly Members that they had not been contacted once about it.
Or maybe it was part of a plan to delay as long as possible before launching the inquiry. In July Jonn Elledge of City Metric asked if Sadiq was cancelling the Garden Bridge "by stealth", and he has followed this up with a new article proposing that his timing of this inquiry backs up his thoughts saying, "I think [Sadiq is] trying to create the political space to make [cancellation] possible without everyone calling him a killjoy.
But more and more quotes are coming from City Hall suggesting Sadiq is vehemently opposed to the development – this Politics.co.uk article quotes a Transport for London 'source' as saying "The mayor and his team are bitterly opposed to it. I think Sadiq just doesn't want to shoot it down publicly yet." It then suggests that the Hodge inquiry could offer Khan the ammunition to cancel the whole thing.
It's unclear, then, whether Sadiq has announced this due to the pressure of journalists, politicians and the public to stay true to his promises to "let the sunshine in" or whether he has strategically timed it to kill the whole thing off. Whichever, it is a key appointment and will lead to more facts of the murky history, financing and processes of the development coming into the public domain.
Newsnight continuted their strong recent coverage of the Garden Bridge debacle with an item in which they interviewed Steven Norris, former Conservative Secretary for State for Transport in London who oversaw the Jubilee Line Extension Project.
In a thorough report they also raised the issue that the Garden Bridge Trust appeared to be misleading the public about the financial viability of the project – on the same day as writing to the Department for Transport claiming the project could be cancelled any day they wrote to the press saying it was going swimmingly. Norris said this was "disturbing" and "at best misleading, at worst downright dishonest." in a story which was also covered by the AJ the following day.
The news was covered by the whole range of media, even in the Evening Standard – which in MP Kate Hoey's words is the "unofficial mouthpiece for the Garden Bridge Trust" – there was a small article which didn't quite cover the full extent of the report.
Other coverage included Bloomberg, The Daily Express, ITV, International Business Times, The Independent and The Times amongst many others all listed on this site's media archive page.
The week before the announcement was made there was a PR offensive by the Garden Bridge Trust – Mervyn Davies' deeply misleading letter in the Times newspaper and then Joanna Lumley repeatedly lying on BBC radio – suggesting that they were aware of the imminent inquiry.
There is no doubt that even though this inquiry may be dressed up by Sadiq as not looking to cancel the project, it will be near-impossible for the Trust (who have LOST £20m of donations in the last year) to raise the substantial funds it needs while there is such scrutiny and coverage of their project.
Despite declining to make comment or send a representative to Newsnight, they did put out a press release with a feeble spin suggesting they welcome the inquiry. But there are no two ways about it – this review could be the final nail in the coffin for their most damaging and aggressive of developments. Hodge will have access to all the City Hall papers and will have the time to thoroughly read all the independent reports and media history as well as take statements from all those who know the project so profoundly, whether the local community, journalists or politicians.


I walk like a dude. I walk heavily. I walk not lady like. I also have a career path that requires me to wear high heels on occasion and on every one of those occasions I stomp around like Godzilla. Needless to say, I go through a lot of heel tips. In the past, that meant shoes to the trash. Then I found out you can buy new tips and replace them yourself. I watched plenty of videos. I found out Target sells 3 or 4 sets of new tips for about $5. I was on board. I was.
It's not as easy as it sounds. Or maybe it would be if I had tried it earlier on in the actual carnage of my heel tip. The truths is I had worn the tips down so far they would not come out. Kevin successfully got them out of one heel, but not its twin. So I really have no update other than DO THIS BEFORE YOUR TIP IS COMPLETELY GONE. Has anybody ever successfully replaced their heel tips? Any tips on replacing tips? Seriously, I want this to work on the new shoes I just bought. I threw all the old ones out in frustration. Poor girl with new shoes. Boohoo.
We recently (Read: two days ago) came back from a long two week vacation with my husband's family. On top of that, I am in the process of setting up a home business. Needless to say, it's been chaotic and busy here so I apologize for the lack of updates. I am hoping I can take some time today and schedule some fresh posts. For now, here's a picture from about a week after we moved in. It's suiting to share now since we just got done with another marathon family time. haha It's all in good fun, I promise.

Rand Paul moves to Breitbart
By HADAS GOLD
Just one day after The Washington Times ended Sen. Rand Paul's column over plagiarism charges, the Kentucky Republican's musings have found a new home at Breitbart.com.
With no mention of the plagiarism controversy currently surrounding the senator, the combative right-wing site announced the news in a lead story on the homepage Wednesday evening.
The site took obvious jabs at The Washington Times, claiming Breitbart has surpassed the Times in web traffic and quoting Paul's senior aide as saying the senator is excited to broaden his audience.
"Paul is pleased to partner with Breitbart News and looks forward to the new, wider audience for his columns," senior adviser Doug Stafford said in the piece.
Breitbart executives praised Paul's Libertarian values.
"We are pleased to add Senator Paul to our lineup of fearless, original thought leaders," said Breitbart News CEO Larry Solov. "Most of all, we think the fighting spirit he has become known for is a perfect fit for Breitbart News Network and reflects that of our founder, Andrew Breitbart."
On Wednesday the normally media-friendly Paul pledged to start speaking out against the media when he feel he's being unfairly targeted. At the same time, the senator said his office is restructuring the way his material is prepared.

For Pistons' announcer in NBA 2K22, the job was more than just his catch phrase
To account for trades, created players, home team or visitors, voices like John Mason recorded hours of audio
By Owen S. Good Sep 17, 2021, 5:26pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: For Pistons' announcer in NBA 2K22, the job was more than just his catch phrase
Image: Visual Concepts/2K Sports
When I heard that Visual Concepts had taken the step of bringing all 30 NBA arena PAs into NBA 2K22, which launched last week, my first thought was, more or less, "This had to be a ton of work."
It was. Because not only were guys like John Mason, the Detroit Pistons public address since 2001, in a session delivering their signature introductions and call-outs, they were recording across multiple days, accounting for nearly infinite contingencies, too.
"Oh, geez," Mason sighed, "One day, the morning session, we went like, two and a half, maybe three hours. We did over 2,000 names. Tempo, and non-tempo."
This is what I wanted to know. "Tempo," means with gusto — the player is a home team player, they just made a high-energy play or scored a pivotal bucket. "Non-tempo" means they're a visiting player, a Joe Schmoe that Mason isn't professionally obligated to hype up.
"To ensure an authentic experience, we had to make sure we captured recordings for a wide range of scenarios that players come across in NBA 2K22," a 2K Sports spokesperson told Polygon. "From announcing thousands of names of past and present players, timeout calls, fouls, and tonal inflection to cover traded players between teams that occur throughout the course of a season, we made sure to represent every possible scenario that could happen on the court."
That means, when Detroit's Jerami Grant goes baseline to cram a dunk this year, Mason will call it "with tempo." But if Grant gets traded or signs with another team two seasons into the future, well, it becomes a non-tempo, two-points, so-what call in Little Caesars Arena. Similarly, if a user overrides the AI and fleeces Milwaukee in a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Mason will have to introduce the Greek Freak as if he's one of Motown's own.
For maximum immersion with the new arena introductions, give your created player a first and last name that the game's audio file recognizes.

Moreover, with so many all-time greats in NBA 2K22's on-the-disc roster (plus in MyTeam's constellation of past and present stars), Mason found himself unstuck in time, giving non-tempo treatment to Piston enemies like Scottie Pippen and Reggie Miller, and tempo props for Bad Boys like John Salley, Vinnie Johnson, and Bill Laimbeer.
"Isiah! … THOMAS …." Mason said, replicating his call for a Hall-of-Famer who preceded his time in Detroit by eight years. "Of course, we did our championship team. It was fun; we got to play around. I didn't know where it was going, but that's what they do. I was trying to break through; I was just having fun, like a kid in a candy store, watching the TV, saying, 'Ooh! Ooh, let me do that! Let me call it!"
Mason is one of 30 arena voices in the game, but his role might have a little more visibility given where the Pistons ended up in the 2021 draft order: first. That means in MyCareer, the single-player career mode, if you nail your created player's performances in the opening act (and those games are locked to NBA 2K22's easiest difficulty), you'll find yourself taken No. 1 overall by the Pistons.
This presented an issue for me, because I like to give my stars ultra-fabulous ABA names that aren't always in the game's audio log. I don't think "Antares" or "Vespasian" were on Mason's script, so my advice to MyCareer fans looking for total immersion is to start your player builds with names the game recognizes.
Still, it's pretty awesome to hear "Deeee-troit! Basketball!" from Mason himself when my 7-foot-1 "Paint Beast" center parked Patrick Williams' baseline runner six rows behind the visiting bench.
The origins of that chant have been told and retold several times. But they always make for a good story. In 2003, ESPN was about to cut away from a game the Pistons were dominating with their outstanding but non-telegenic defense, Mason says, and he blurted a shoutout to his home city in case that was his last chance on their air. When a fan put the phrase on a poster — and took the poster to a rival's arena — it stuck.
I'd like to think that if my created superstar, Arcturus "The Herdsman" Malone, actually was throwing down for the Pistons, that Mason would give his name some special sizzle, too. "I looked at each player [I introduce] like a cartoon," Mason said. "Ben Wallace [the Pistons' all-star center for nine seasons] had the wristbands up around his biceps; it reminded me of the 1960s Hercules cartoon." So Mason's "Buh-buh-buh-buh Ben" emphasis is an homage to that show's trilling introduction.
Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time Mason's rallying cry has been heard in the game, although this is the first time he's gotten to do it himself. Pistons fans probably remember hearing it before — Mason's son sure did, pointing it out to his Dad a few years ago. Visual Concepts explained that, until NBA 2K22, it had hired a single voice actor to impersonate all the arena PAs (so, that was not, actually, Ray Clay introducing Michael Jordan in NBA 2K11).
For the record, Mason wasn't bothered by that, he says (Mason says the copyright to the phrase is held by the estate of former owner Bill Davidson). But "I wanted them to just use me," Mason said. When he got an email inviting him to their recording studio in Novato, California, "I shot up like a rocket.
"There are other things that I can do for money and for profit," he said, "But that wasn't it. I wanted to feel it. So I made it, and I made it with everybody else. I'm very happy for all 29 other PA announcers, because they all bring something so unique to the game. We're all honored that NBA 2K decided to let us in on this."

N98146 accident description
Crash location 21.578056°N, 158.181667°W
Nearest city Mokuleia, HI
Piper PA28
NTSB Factual Report
On August 20, 2018, about 1705 Hawaii-Aleutian standard time, a Piper PA-28-180 airplane, N98146, sustained substantial damage during a forced landing following a loss of engine power during takeoff from Dillingham Airport (PHDH), Mokuleia, Hawaii. The certified flight instructor, student pilot, and passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was registered to Alana Aviation Inc. Trustee, and operated by Aviation Academy Hawaii under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as an instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the local flight which originated from the Daniel K Inouye International Airport, Honolulu, Hawaii, at 1634.
The flight instructor reported that they had conducted a series of practice touch-and-go landings on runway 8. During the takeoff sequence of the third touch-and-go, the engine lost power about 300 ft above ground level. The flight instructor stated that he took control of the airplane and initiated a forced landing to an open field south of the runway. During the landing sequence, the airplane struck a fence and came to rest upright.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the right wing and fuselage sustained substantial damage. The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.

Polish for I know is wiem.
1 translation: I don't know it.
Because it is an m word, you simply remove that m to get to the pan/pani form.
Polish for where is gdzie.
2 translation: Do you know where Poland is?
Polish for like this is tak.
Coincidence or not, this word not only means like this but it also means yes. They would probably just keep using it is like this to confirm something until it has come to a point where like this would simply get to mean yes. Curiously Latin and Lithuanian also have this.
3 translation: You (informal) don't know where Poland is!
Polish for am is jestem.
Polish for here is tutaj.
4 translation: I am here.
If you are observant you might notice that jestem is another m word. That means you should know what the word for is (or the pan/pani form) is (you remove the m).
Yeah, it should have been jeste but they didn't think it was cool enough so they ended up just sticking to jest. One letter less, a very small exception indeed.
6 translation: Where is Poland?
7 translation: Do you know where Poland is?
Polish for a bank is bank.
8 translation: Do you know where the bank is?
You could also say pan wie gdzie bank without much trouble.
So we have jest although it should have been jeste. If you want to make the informal you form, you get back that last e of jeste before adding sz... oh, wait. The Polish have gone a bit wild there too so they add not sz but ś. In speech you can't tell the difference because it is practically the same sound. So why doing it? Well, no idea.
You can say informally you here are.
9 translation: You are here.
Polish for I understand is rozumiem.
10 translation: I don't understand it.
11 translation: I understand: you don't know where Poland is.
If he can understand that phrase then your friend probably does know where it is. If he can understand it then he can probably speak it too and speaking is just one of the things that we will be talking about in the next lesson.
1 answer: Ja tego nie wiem.
2 answer: Pan wie gdzie Polska?
3 answer: Ty nie wiesz gdzie Polska.
4 answer: Ja tutaj jestem.
6 answer: Gdzie jest Polska?
7 answer: Pani wie gdzie jest Polska?
8 answer: Pan wie gdzie jest bank?
9 answer: Ty tutaj jesteś.
10 answer: Ja tego nie rozumiem.
11 answer: Ja rozumiem: ty nie wiesz gdzie jest Polska.

Do you ever feel like you are always on the defensive in raising your children? Does it seem like you are forever "putting out fires," being a "referee," acting as "judge and jury," or disciplining? It can appear that way in our home, and I find it becomes very wearisome for me when this is the case. I would rather be on the offensive with my children, but how is this accomplished?
First and foremost is the area of prayer. Prayer is the arena where we truly let go of raising our children in our own strength and rely on the Lord. We will obviously be bringing our children's needs to the Lord by defensive praying, but we can also be praying positively for our children through offensive praying.
Praying Scripture is a great way to be on the offensive with our children. We can pray some of Paul's prayers, "Lord, fill Nathan with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That Nathan might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made Nathan to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light" (paraphrased from Colossians 1:9-12).
There is another way to be on the offensive concerning child training and that is through what I will call character-teaching sessions. What would happen if you set aside fifteen minutes each day to "work" on character needs? I think this small amount of time would go a long way in helping to prevent daily problems with the children.
For example, this summer we were teaching our younger children to answer with, "Yes, Ma'am. No, Ma'am. Yes, Sir. No, Sir." This was being accomplished by dropping one M&M into a mug with their name on it each time they respond in the desired fashion. At an approved time, the children would be allowed to eat their earned M&Ms. We also made this into a game for character-teaching time.
"Yes, Ma'am." I popped two M&Ms into his mouth and another one when he returned after finishing his pick up.
"Yes, Ma'am." Again, two M&Ms were immediately given and a third one offered when she returned. We continued until all the little tasks were completed, and would you believe they didn't want to stop even when I couldn't find anything else to do?
This training was so successful that the children were saying "Yes, Sir" to Nathan, our twenty-one-year-old son. Nathan was pleased enough with this show of respect from his younger brothers and sisters that he purchased a three-pound bag of M&Ms, and another one of Skittles, to continue the character-teaching rewards.
We can also use this time to discuss situations that might occur between the children and how they could deal with them in a manner that would be pleasing to the Lord. We could even play-act some typical scenarios that occur regularly and practice the right responses in them.
So, what about your home? Are you always on the defensive? Do you think it would be worth investing time in prayer and teaching to be on the offensive? May I encourage you to consider this a wise use of your time.


What are the criteria for picking a CMS amongst the myriad of options out there?
Many digital signage software solutions were built for the primary purpose of delivering video and very simple content types. To extend the value of a digital experience network, you need to communicate much more. Brand messaging is important but when choosing the best CMS software platform, you should look for a more sophisticated communications framework – "An Intelligent Platform".
External Data Sources – A solid software platform has the ability to connect to multiple external feeds and information sources that would allow you to pull in data to create intelligent content.
Graphic Data Display – A good CMS solution should also provide the ability to automatically provide visual presentation of real or near real time data (e.g. Charts and graphs.) A solid platform would not require manual user intervention.
WYSIWYG Templates & Playlists – A solid software platform would offer easy to use tools for the creation and ongoing updating of content templates and allow you to playlist these with full preview on screen.
Supporting different screen types and devices – A huge consideration is choosing a solid software solution with the ability to run the same software platform on digital signage screens, touch screens and tablets can save you so much money and allow for one centralized portal to push content to all screen and device types.
Evaluating CMS options using these criteria will ensure you have the flexibility to deliver the most effective experiences to your audience.

Q: How to have a sql_variant parameter for a SQL CLR stored procedure? How can one add a sql_variant parameter to a SQL CLR stored procedure?  Using System.Object does not work, and I don't see any attributes that I can use.
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void ClearOnePartition(
    SqlString aString
    , /* I want this to be a sql_variant */ object aVariant
)
{
    //do stuff here
}

A: In Mapping CLR Parameter Data from SQL Books Online, Object is listed as the correct type to use to map sql_variant.
I created a simple SQL Server project and added the following class to it:
public partial class StoredProcedures
{
    [Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
    public static void StoredProcedure1(object param1)
    {
        // Put your code here
        //Trace.Write(param1);
        SqlContext.Pipe.Send(param1.ToString());

    }
};

I then modified the test.sql file to exercise this stored proc:
DECLARE @thing sql_variant = 'hahahahaha';

EXEC dbo.StoredProcedure1 @thing

This runs as expected and produces the following output:

hahahahaha
No rows affected.
(0 row(s)  returned)
Finished running sp_executesql.

A: Partition Boundary values, as shown in the CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION documentation, can be one of many different types:

All data types are valid for use as partitioning columns, except text, ntext, image, xml, timestamp, varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max), alias data types, or CLR user-defined data types.

And their actual datatype is stored in sys.partition_parameters.
But if one is selecting them out of sys.partition_range_values, then the value field is of type SQL_VARIANT (and for good reason, obviously).
Yes, SQL_VARIANT (as already stated) maps to object in .NET.
If you need to check for NULLs, compare the object to DBNull.Value.
If you want to know the underlying type of the value in the object (it most likely isn't going to be SQL_VARIANT / object ), use the GetType() method:
if (aVariant.GetType() == typeof(SqlInt16))

Mornings begin here with coffee, like many other American households. Coffee duty is all mine because I am the one who wakes up first and wants the energy zap of caffeine right away.
I use a french coffee press to extract coffee from the beans, motivated by the excellent flavor it produces, lack of electronics required, and ease of cleaning.
I turn whole beans into grounds with a coffee mill. I could say that the reasons for this are the same as the french press, as a hand powered grinder is one less thing to plug in and provides more fine control than a cheapo electronic grinder.
The true reason, though, is that I enjoy starting my day with a small physical activity and time of reflection. As my hand makes the rounds and the beans whir under the burr, I intentionally set out my goals for the day or reflect on the previous day. I breathe deeply, ignoring any interruptions by the chickens, dogs, or child.
I'm always sure to find a caffeine buzz somewhere, but days that do not start with milling beans by hand are days when I feel a little off. My simple morning ritual, my moment by myself to gather my thoughts, grounds me for the day.

St George Cabinet by Philip Webb
Free Essays art St George Cabinet by Philip Webb
When it comes to the handicraft definition, technique and skills cannot go unmentioned. It is also important to understand that among all the designers involved in the human skill labor defending, the England and America arts and crafts movements have always had a close association. However, this essay is not about these associations. No. it is about understanding the craft originating from the major figures among which the major concern here is William Morris, in relation to the St George cabinet that was designed by Phillip Webb. The two makes the designer and the maker of the famous ST George cabinet. The discussion of major materials and techniques is what this essay highlights in depth. In relation to this essay, the major key areas are; the way the cabinet was exhibited, the relationship between the designer and the maker, innovation and making technique of the craft, the appropriateness to its producing firm and the origin of the materials among other important aspects. All these aspects are incorporated in this essay with an aim of coming out with a conclusive essay solely based arts and crafts.
ST George Cabinet
The materials that were used in making of this cabinet were pine, mahogany oak and copper with technique which was perceived to be gilding and painting. As we will realize in this article, there is little if anything that has since been mention in details with regards to the used materials. This calls for argument in various ways. Some holds that this was perhaps aimed at depicting the expensiveness of the work and materials that were used. In addition, it was during this period that the passion for furniture painting was renewed. Having been borrowed heavily from the gothic origin in the thirtieth century, this art work depicted the subjects of princess, dragon, Morris, ST George, William and ST George legend. The technique that was used for decoration of the interior was the medieval method whose revival was done by William Burges, witnessed on the commissioning of the cabinet which was done in the year 1858 by Yatman H. G.
On the stand lay a cabinet, with the door depicting clear pictures of ST George legend scenes. This work of art was the design of Philip which followed the actual painting that was comprehensively done by William Morris. The exhibitors of this piece of art were Faulker & Co. Marshall, Morris, in the year 1862 at an International Exhibition.
This cabinet presents a rare example of the work that was painted by Morris coupled with being a distinctive large furniture piece of work, depicting a medieval form. The wardrobe of the Prioress depicts the same failure to coordinate between the decoration that was painted and the structure. This cabinet presented the princess rescue by St George in five story scenes which were divided in unequal way between the three doors that the cabinet contained.
In the 19th century, Morris had involved himself in manufacturing various pieces that were painted, with an inspiration coming from those that had been designed by his friends in the earlier years; with work whose examples had been nearby exhibited. Looking at the individualities that were exhibited in these two men (Webb and Morris); there is a possibility of one strongly arguing in the sense that in the two, there were genes for doing arts and crafts work. Webb copied the braces that were curved on the bases from the furniture whose initial designs in the late 1840 were done by Pugin. The scenes in the paintings came from the legend (St George), together with the dragon and were inclusive of Morris together with his wife among other characters that the painting depicted. In the year 1862, this piece of art was displayed in an international exhibition in London depicting ST George cabinet but criticisms soared on the basis that the craftsmanship in this work was poor as well as the painting being of second rate.
It has not been possible to identify the maker of the ST George furniture as well as other furniture Morris and his colleagues exhibited in the year 1862. According to what is held from various perspectives, there is a possibility that the manufacture of the cabinet was done in Tommy Baker workshop; a maker specializing in cabinet, based in Hatton Garden, London. The furniture was described by Herry Price (who was one of the employees) in the style that was medieval.
The history and desighn of ST George cabinet
The history of ST George cabinet dates back to 1861 when the designing of the cabinet was initiated. The designing of this cabinet included the materials that were to be used; which were oak and pine with mounts that consisted of copper and mahogany that was painted and gilded. The origin of the mahogany is traced back in Germany where these trees are grown. The only places that the growth of these mahoganies is favored by the climate are in South America Amazon Forest and Africa. What is special about this wood is also another issue that remains to be understood. One, the scarcity of this wood makes it quite expensive. In addition, the mahogany falls under the category of what is referred to as the hard wood and all the characteristics that are found in the hard wood are exhibited in this wood. Therefore, choosing mahogany for the cabinet was based on the fact that its finish is very appealing and through this finish which is quite unique, it can be easily be distinguished from other woods.
Mahogany was also used based on the fact that it is very easy to have decorated. In consideration of the cabinet description, the left side of the door could hardly be painted by Morris with king paintings. Painting a hardwood is only possible with mahogany and other woods can hardly be painted. This wood is known to give an appearance that is glossy and shiny. In addition, the hard woods are not known to attract so much paint or ink; something that Morris, who was the designer, was not aware of. In addition, the waxing of the mahogany can be done one annually.
Let us also look at the pine which was the other material that was used. The classification of wood places the pine in the category of the soft wood. Drawers and shelves were fitted in the interiors of the cabinet. These fitting were done by the use of the pine, which is perceived to be cheap and valuable. It has in addition a high strength in comparison to its weight. The pine being not as heavy in comparison to mahogany was used to ensure that the cabinet was not at long last very heavy. Therefore, using pine for the interior was perceived to be a wise idea. Through the use of the pine, it would even be possible to have the cabinet drawers pulled out very easily. It is also argued that the abundance of the pine was also the key factor for it being used. Accessing the pine in relation to other soft woods is relatively easier therefore not posing any problem to the makers. The fact remains that this cabinet that had to be light in weight and easy when it comes to opening. Based on this idea, it is easy to understand why the pine use in making of the ST George cabinet was very instrumental.
Oak was also another material that was used. Based on the classification of woods, oak falls under the category of hardwood. The high preference for oak was based on its strength and durability. The issue that is mainly noted is that there was to be durability in the materials that were used. If there is some kind of furniture being made by a commercial craftsman, there has to be a room allowance for enhancing repairing. In short, this implies that the craft to be made would be in such a way that after certain period, there would be need for another of its type. This is what has kept the craftsmen in the business for many years.
Basically, the design of the cabinet took a rectangular shape on an erected on a stand together with three doors with each door having a handle made of copper together with a lock plate, with five paintings containing the ST George legendary scenes. Based on the fact that the copper does not lust, it becomes possible to form the basis of the argument in evaluating the reason for its use by Webb. The copper is also known to blend very well with mahogany which was another material that was used to make the ST George cabinet. Copper is in addition not a hard metal which makes it very easy to be designed in the shape that is desired.
For William Morris, there was posturing by family friend who included Rossetti, who posed as Jane (the wife to Morris) as well as painted figures. Three cupboards divided the cabinet with the front being closed by doors. In the left door, the art was designed in such a way that there were two scenes paintings. In the first painting, there was a display of a seated king in his throne with a trumpet being brown by a herald and the depiction in the second part being that of the princess departure with the men in armor guarding her. In the middle door, there are two scenes painting at the middle of the forest.
In the first one, there was a drawing of a princess being tied to a stake with the second having a depiction of this princess being raised from the ground by St George. In the right hand side of the door, there was an art of ST George return which is designed in such a way that it looks ceremonial with the princess being followed by men with their head bearing dragon. Surrounding the panels are conventional and floral ornament borders. At the cabinet top, the art designed a gallery with each of the corners containing pinnacle. At the cabinet's interior, there was inclusion fitting of drawers and shelves with handles made of copper. At the fronts of the cabinet's drawers, there were decorations which contained tinted varnishes layers containing leaf made of silver with a technique that was medieval.
Various medieval features were adopted for the Yatman cabinet, with the inclusion of the roofs that were sloped as well as the doors with the double folding and a technique of the eleventh century revived through the roof being covered with metal leaf layers and paint that was transparent. This is the furniture of William Burges whose distinctiveness is in addition through its painted decoration which was iconographic. With pigeonholes and writing flap fitting, the cabinet was painted with scenes that were thematic incorporated from the medieval and classical history with a literature representation, writing and an alphabet. Its designing was done in such a way that it would be in resemblance of the house that contained four classical scenes painted panels across the middle and ornate designs. The difference with the furniture that was painted by William Morris was that the decorations were always applied by Burges to ensure integrity with the piece structure. The decoration in much of these piece took the form of stenciling, a technique that was directly taken by Burges from the medieval sources. Therefore, it would be appropriate to hold that William Morris used a technique was through the influence of the medieval ages but Burges was inspired in the process.
The designing of the ST George cabinet was during the year 1862 as it has earlier been noted and this work of art was specially meant for the international exhibition in London. The firm was charged by Philip Webb to enhance the designing work with the initial sketches being produced by William Morris for the narrative panels. The process of preparing the cabinet was described by Rossetti which enhanced the display. This was through a letter that was drafted to Charles Eliot on the ninth of January 1862. In this letter, Rossetti expressed his wish to have a look of the painted cabinet in which ST George history was depicted. He also expressed interest in seeing other furniture that was highly valued. The initial price of this cabinet did not allow this art design piece of work to sell and up to the year 1864, the cabinet was still recorded in the stocks of the firm. Until the period in which the collection of Laurence Hodson was sold in the year 1906, there has not been a clear history of this cabinet. The Compton hall was inherited by Hodson in the year 1890 and may have been involved in the acquisition of the cabinet when Morris and Co. was initiated in the year 1895 to facilitate with the decoration of the hall.
Grand sale of the cabinet
The museum purchased the cabinet in the year 1906 from Hodson's sale. This grand sale followed Charles Murray recommendation; who had been an owner to Morris Sketches. There was a bid by the Dulacher Brothers firm in the representation of museum with a purchase price that was higher than the initial. Later, the Bethnal Brother received the cabinet on July of the year of sale where there were displays of many furniture pieces with an aim of educating the locals on how to be involved in the trades of making furniture. Later, during the year 1932, this cabinet was returned to the Woodwork department where there was an exhibition in an exhibition owned by William Moris (Centenary Exhibition). With the cabinet acquisition during the year 1906, there had been a fixation of a mahogany that was polished on the stand top with the upper section of the cupboard being placed on this board. This board was however indicated to be an addition in the cabinet. With the board removal, it was possible to position the upper part of the cupboard on the stand at the horizontal rail either endings.
This cabinet presents a rare example of work paintings that were made by Morris coupled with being distinctive of the large furniture pieces, with constructions that were medieval closely being linked to the circles of Morris which can be traced back to the year 1858. With the cabinet theme, Morris enthusiasm at his youthful age (which was associated with literature and romance) is embodied. However, the interior decoration provides a strong reminder of the early interest of Morris in the design pattern.
The Red House
The relationship between the designer and maker was that of friendship flourished during designing of the Red House in Kent at the year 1859. Well, it is argued that this might have not been the onset of this well established relationship between a designer and the maker because this relationship is strongly perceived to have started when an abortive pupil age was commenced by Morris in the GE office, where the role of Webb was that of assistance from the year 1854. It is soon after this period that Morris gave up the idea that had always influenced him to being an architect resulting to Webb taking a position of the leading designer in the circle of Morris. By the time the two met, Philip was at the same time apprenticing to the street. Through the Red House, it was possible Webb and Morris to make an establishment of arts and crafts together with the interior design. Consider; this Red House is in the modern world perceived to be a landmark that was historic.
However, this Red House was not perceived anymore as the architectural original work. Well, there can never be any doubt on its status which holds it as the initial great work of the art and crafts monument. However, there is a strong conviction that even before the onset of the firm, there had been a strong friendship between Webb and Morris. Based on this understanding, it is not surprising to realize there was an agreement to have the work done by the two. However, it is not possible to establish a clear sign of a relationship between Morris, Faulkner, Marshall & Co. It is however possible; based on the deductions shown above to say that indeed the piece fitted very well in the firm. The path that was followed by Philip Web had been explored before the 20th century. Therefore, together, Morris and Webb were on the discovery verge. With their emphasis that laid on the form that was basic, good craftsmanship and materials that were sound, it was possible for the two to have spotted that part of the gothic architecture were ornaments and stylish shapes, just as a the iron had been spotted to be beautiful by them.
Through the work that the firm exhibited in the year 1862 during the international Exhibition, much notice was attracted and beginning from the year 1866, there was an onset of profit generation. The funny thing to note is how the firm after the establishment in the year 1861 started generating returns in the year 1866. Based on this perception, it is possible to argue in the sense that it is through ST George cabinet that the firm begun its journey to success. If this course is taken in the argument, it would be possible to view that it only through the results that were realized by these two that there was a break-even in the firm coupled with profit making.
Although there might be a possibility of a weakness, it is not actually believed that such a piece of work can result in a firm becoming a major shaker in the whole industry in consideration that there were other firm that existed and these firms were also in the process of producing products that could enable them to survive the competition. Consider the fact that Morris, having been a painter and his wallpapers having been among the best during these years, this could also have had the possibility of making an influence. When another side of the argument is taken, it can be viewed that it was through the international exhibition combined effort that the fame needed by Morris and Webb was realized. This is based on the understanding that Morris and Webb were aiming at ensuring that there was furthering of their of art and craft foundation in the direction of commercialization.
Based on the commercialization ideal, the firm is perceived to have been aimed at art and craft commercialization. There is also a perception based on the understanding that exhibition use at this juncture was a marketing channel for arts and crafts. Therefore, to ensure the firm being noticed, it had to be involved in such kinds of exhibition.
The art and craft movement resulted from various arts and crafts for example the famous ST George cabinet. The spread of this movement was to all the England towards the end of the nineteenth century. As many holds, this was a reaction that was institutionalized against the misperception that was widespread morally, socially and artistically in the revolution of the industry. From this revolution came the perception of the return to hardware and design as Victorian era goods that were nasty and cheap. William Morris was the movement leader whose advocating was towards purposive fitness, the truth in the material nature as well as the production methods. This is what the fame in the ST George cabinet is based on. Therefore, the ST George cabinet description puts a lot of emphasis on the used materials.
The emergence and flourishing of the arts and crafts movement was simply based on the fact that there was full involvement by the leaders coupled with full dedication to the cause. It is also on this basis that there was commercialization, based on the fact that arts and crafts had been taken by craftsmen and a job that required devotion on fulltime basis and also based on the justification that indeed earning a living was of important.
In conclusion, it can be noted that based on the art and craftsmanship, two gentlemen emerged who revolutionized the industry through a cabinet. This however does not go without being criticized. This is a tread that defines commercialization which up soars numerous reaction and opinions. This study denotes that it is through this tread that results in flourishing of the arts and crafts movement based on the dedication and full involvement of the leaders.

Hyderabad's desi dairy entrepreneur
Swati Sharma
Her search for pure cow milk for her children led her to become a dairy farming entrepreneur. Born and brought up in Hyderabad by a politician father and a homemaker mother, this 35-year-old engineering graduate found herself upset with milk adulteration and decided that she wanted to start her own farm.
"I embarked on a search for pure cow milk for my children and that is when I realised that the A2 milk which has been proven healthy all over the world is nothing but the milk from our very own desi cows," said Allola Divya Reddy, the founder of Klimom Wellness and Farms.
Elaborating on her journey as an entrepreneur, Divya, a proud mother of two, said, "I did not consciously plan to start a dairy farm. In fact, everything fell into place pretty much on its own. I simply couldn't find a legitimate supplier of pure A2 milk in Hyderabad, so I figured that I could set up my own gaushala with desi cows to provide nutritious milk to my children. Additionally, the cow dung and urine, I figured, could be used for organic farming. Consequently, the extra milk that our cows produced was distributed among friends and family, and they started spreading the word. That's how Klimom gained momentum."
Talking about what inspired her to venture into dairy farming, Divya explained, "When I travelled to Gujarat to acquire my first herd of cows, I was inspired by the way the Gvala (caretakers) were taking care of the cows and how the cows were responding to the Gvala. I wanted to experience the wholesome joy that the Gvala were experiencing. That is how I set up Klimom Wellness And Farms."
Allola Divya Reddy received the National Gopal Ratna Award from the Government of India last year. The dairy entrepreneur, however, prefers not to use the word 'dairy farm' to desribe her enterprise. "Considering the cruelty that cattle are being subjected to in dairy farms, I prefer to use the word gaushala to label my enterprise. Calves and cows are meant to stay together in a setting where the calf continues to remain the rightful owner of its mother's milk," she said.
Klimom is a passion-driven mission, and Divya Reddy finds immense satisfaction in hearing from a mother that her child's immunity had improved after switching to Klimom milk. "It makes me happy every time a mother tells me that Klimom milk is suiting her child," she says.
While her entire family is involved in all farm activities, some go the extra mile to pamper the cows. "The farm consists of open grazing spaces and organic fodder is fed to the cows," she said. Other than what is apparent on the surface, the founder of the gaushala has deeper aspirations. "Klimom is not just about milk. We want to bring back the glory of the sacred Indian cows and also spread awareness about A2 milk and its products. I am very happy that our A2 milk is reaching many young mothers and their children. My primary goal is to facilitate an increase in the population of desi cows and this path will help me empower many women."

Parler goes offline as AWS withdraws support
The majority of UK adults are unsure how to protect their online privacy
Ellen Daniel 14th January 2019	(Last Updated January 10th, 2019 18:30)
Data privacy stories exposing how the likes of Facebook and Google handle user data dominated the headlines in 2018.
However, nearly one year after Cambridge Analytica and the introduction of GDPR, the majority of UK adults are still uncertain about how best to protect their privacy online.
This is according to a survey of 2,000 respondents by OnePoll, conducted by Your Eyes Only (YEO) a newly launched private messaging app.
The results revealed that over half of people are now more wary about exactly how private their personal messages are, with 56% of UK adults saying they have avoided sending certain information over messaging platforms due to data privacy concerns.
Data privacy scandals have harmed public trust
This follows the revelation late last year that Facebook had allowed third-party advertisers, including Spotify and Netflix, access to users' private Facebook messages.
This extensive coverage of various user data scandals has had an impact on public trust. The survey showed that trust in social media platforms is waning, with more than half of UK adults who use social media of the opinion that major social media platforms have their best interests at heart.
For some this has been enough to part ways with some social media platforms. According to new data from Pew Research Center, four in ten US Facebook users sampled have taken a break from Facebook over the past year.
However, despite an increased awareness of the issue of online privacy, and fears over how companies are using data, the survey suggested that many are unsure how to respond. 77% of respondents said that they do not know exactly what data is collected and used by these platforms, with a further 60% saying that they did not know how to stop tech companies from collecting and selling their data.
Privacy changes made by social media sites and messaging platforms have also been met with a lack of engagement, with more than a third of respondents saying they had not reviewed their privacy setting, with over half saying that terms and conditions are too long or confusing.
Alan Jones, founder of YEO believes that there is a need for a secure platform with a more transparent user data policy:
"It has been clear to us for some time that there is a real gap for a messaging platform which allows its users to clearly understand, in simple terms, how their data and content is protected and remains private to them. We want to put the control firmly back into the hands of the individuals who use the platform, safe in the knowledge that it won't be shared with a faceless third party."

On November 29th I made a big announcement about the future of Mystagogy Resource Center (read here). The announcement was that on January 1st the five websites and all future ones will be available and viewable only through a subscription service, which will cost $5 a month or $60 a year. Though this was supposed to begin December 1st, I extended it one month to allow for feedback in the form of seeing how many respond by subscribing. If I have a total of at least 500 subscribers, then I would give serious consideration to keeping things the way they are, knowing that I have enough supporters to help keep this ministry going and more importantly to push it forward as well.
It has now been about two weeks and I wanted to offer an update, and most of it is positive news. First, I was very happy to see that many people have come forward to subscribe, and for this I am very grateful. Second, though some of these have contributed before, about half have never contributed at all before, which tells me that this campaign is working to help bring in supporters, which is the only possible way of reaching the 500 subscriber goal. Third, there have been some that have taken it upon themselves to contribute even more than the subscription amount, in order to push forward the amount of subscriptions, so that instead of 500 individuals subscribing, less can subscribe and the financial goal can be met; this may be the only way the 500 goal will be met. Fourth, we are about half way towards our goal, which means we are about half way there with another half month to go to reach the goal.
However, there is also some not so positive news. First, the goal has yet to be met, which means that as of right now the subscription service is still going forward on January 1st. Second, I have received a lot more feedback from around the world begging me not to allow this because circumstances do not allow them to subscribe. Third, the great majority of my regular readers have yet to contribute anything. Fourth, we are only half way towards our goal, which means we have half way to go towards our goal, and feedback in the form of subscriptions is slowing down day be day.
A few people have asked me what I plan on doing with this money. I assume these are people that have not read my appeals I have written twice a year for the past three years. I will quickly and briefly summarize what I have written before. First, to request for 500 subscribers a month at $5 a month does not come to any significant amount of money for anyone to worry about me trying to get rich at the expense of others - just do the math. Second, to do what I am doing requires full time work, and I am already putting at least an average of ten hours a day into this ministry seven days a week. Third, what I do on my websites is only half of what I do a day for this ministry, which consists of many other things and requires all my own doing, since I am a one man team. Fourth, 500 subscribers will only allow this ministry to survive, and my hope is that the subscription service will prompt this ministry to grow; its the only viable way I can think of.
Here is some more good news. Since there have been some who have contributed more than $5 a month or $60 a year, sometimes doubling or tripling or quadrupling the amount and even more, I have decided that if these websites go to a subscription service because the goal has not been met, those who are legitimately unable to make the payment for the subscription will be signed on at the expense of these generous contributors. By this I also hope to encourage many to do the same, as a further contribution not only to this ministry directly, but to those who daily receive much benefit by it.
I will make my next and last update some time between December 26th and January 1st. Hopefully it is all good news. I understand it will take a Christmas miracle to reach the goal, but I choose to be hopeful and accepting of whatever the outcome. Many have been astounded by the fact that there aren't 500 people out there ready to subscribe and contribute to this ministry, despite its wide reach. I try to explain that this is the consequence of offering a free service, but free services without contributions always die young, unless they have a financial back up, of which I assure you I have not even one, unlike most other active Orthodox ministries and websites which are backed by parishes, monasteries, dioceses, metropolises archdioceses, and large grants. This ministry has always depended on my readers to exist, and it will remain so as far as I can tell.
Thank you to all those who have contributed. You will be receiving something in the mail from me very soon, as long as your address is up to date (you won't believe how much returned mail I get every year, so please update your addresses with me). For those who have not yet contributed, please do so as soon as possible, as the window is almost closed. To all who celebrate Christmas on December 25th with the New Calendar, I pray you have a joyous and blessed Christmas.
With love in Christ,
John Sanidopoulos

our company was born out of a chance encounter between two entrepreneurial neighbors – a strategist and a creative – who shared a curiosity and saw the potential for a better way of doing things.
from the get go it was clear there was a spark, ignited by our desire to have a meaningful impact on the industry. we knew that seeing a challenge from our different perspectives produced more robust thinking and better-honed answers. that connection was the impetus to start clarkmcdowall. we had no formal business plan, but we had drive and an idea we truly believed in. and so, we set out to change the game.
making the East Village our home was a bold move at the time, but it was a symbol of our independent spirit. walking into an old junk shop on 11th Street filled to the rafters with bric-a-brac, we fell in love with what it could be. looking past the clutter, we saw a future. we handcrafted our own desks, painted the floors and walls (and repainted them upon realizing burnt orange and taxi–cab yellow form a headache-inducing combination), and opened up shop. as a symbol of how we operate, both partners have sat side by side from day one. the open, collaborative way we think is a natural consequence of how we work. it is the foundational philosophy for how our teams are constructed, the talent we hire, and the way we do business. conversation over presentation. relationships over transactions. ideas, not egos. these were early tenets that we still hold dear.
founders Catherine Clark and Paul McDowall.
from these very humble beginnings and intuitive thoughts, cm has grown into a thriving business. each and every client has come from referral only, never a cold call (a fact that is both terrifying and exhilarating). we are extremely lucky to have client partners that want to reinvent their brands and challenge category norms—and our body of work is a testament to that.
after 17 years, that initial spark is still very much there, ingrained in the culture of the company. we see it as we watch the passion manifest itself in our team, witnessing their growth. it's there as we stretch into new fields… knowing we have even more potential, more to achieve—more visions to turn into reality.

'We believe that organizing is a key tool in obtaining justice for our students.'
In an exclusive interview, new Baltimore Teachers Union Diamonté Brown talks with TRNN's Jaisal Noor about her stunning victory, her plan to bridge divides within the union, and the many challenges facing Baltimore's schools
JAISAL NOOR This is The Real News and I'm Jaisal Noor in Baltimore.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN On May 15th, the highest number of Baltimore Teachers Union members in twenty years participated in our internal elections. It was a powerful affirmation of our union as a democratic organization. And over 17,000 members stood up to have their voices heard. Today our national union, the American Federation of Teachers, upheld this election.
JAISAL NOOR That's Diamonté Brown— activist, teacher, and the new President of the Baltimore Teachers Union. She scored a narrow victory over incumbent, Marietta English, who was seeking her ninth term. Brown's victory was recently affirmed by the national union, the American Federation of Teachers, after English refused to concede.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN While some may see a contentious election as an indication of disunity within the union, it actually shows how important the union is to so many people. And the challenges reaffirm that we are all committed to the democratic process.
JAISAL NOOR The AFT examined claims of voting irregularities against both sides, and ultimately rejected the calls for a new election. The AFT did find the electronic ballots used in the election did appear to favor the incumbent because it made it harder to vote for Brown and her Union We Deserve slate. Well, now joining us for her first in-studio interview since her victory is Diamonte Brown. She's the President of the Baltimore Teachers Union, which represents more than 7,000 teachers, paraprofessionals and support staff. Thank you so much for joining us.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Thanks for having me.
JAISAL NOOR So this isn't your first time on The Real News. You've been on here talking about the drug war and the impacts on Baltimore, about public education and what's needed to really make it a central part in uplifting the city, which faces so many challenges. Talk a little bit about why you decided to run for president of your union, and how you pulled off this stunning victory. You know, you knocked off this incumbent who was running for her ninth term and had been in office for almost two decades.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Well, I decided to run because I live based on the mantra: "Don't talk about it. Be about it." And that's something that goes all the way back from when I played sports in high school. And I apply that same mantra to everything I do in my life. And it started to become cumbersome and disappointing to continuously just talk about the issues, the challenges, and eventually I got to a place where I needed to shift from talking about the issues to being about fixing the issues or addressing the issues. And I felt that having a leadership position in the Baltimore Teachers Union would give me some of the access and resources I need to address some of the issues that I felt like I couldn't address as a classroom teacher.
JAISAL NOOR And it wasn't just you. It was a whole slate of candidates.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Exactly.
JAISAL NOOR Talk a little bit about your coalition and why they were so successful in this victory— which, you know, a lot of people counted you out.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Well, this journey started with me being a member of the BMORE Caucus, which is a caucus of the Baltimore Teachers Union. We consider ourselves an organizing caucus because we are all organizers in addition to being educators, and we believe that organizing is a key tool in obtaining justice for our students. We started off organizing within our union and through advisorship and leadership and guidance from other social justice caucuses from around the nation, we were urged and actually there was an obligation put on us to run for leadership. And so we took the charge, and we took the challenge, and we immediately employed our organizing skills as our main campaign strategy.
What that means is we used one-on-ones, and we went door-to-door, and we called people. And we made people feel informed and we made people feel appreciated. And most importantly, we made people feel heard. We wanted to run as a slate. Unfortunately, some of our slate members were disqualified. And to be clear, we did not just run as the BMORE Caucus. We joined forces with the CEDE Caucus, which stands for Caucus of Educators for Democracy and Equity. We thought this was important because otherwise we felt like we had the potential to split the vote, and that will lead to neither of us taking leadership. So instead of us competing, we became one team. And that led to the victory that we are living right now.
JAISAL NOOR And so, you know, as you addressed in your press conference, this was a very contentious vote. Your opponent, Marietta English, initially refused to concede. And after the AFT's report was released, she put out a statement on Facebook which says, "The report released by the AFT today clearly lays out the egregious violations that took place during the election process and I strongly disagree with the conclusion that even with these violations a new election would not be held." And she's still the President of the Maryland Federation of Teachers.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Yes.
JAISAL NOOR And to be clear, you know, we got the report. We read through the report. It doesn't really back up what she's saying there, but you guys still have to work together.
JAISAL NOOR What's your plan to do that?
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Well, as an organizer, my plan is always to meet people just on a one-on-one basis and get to know who they are. I know that people prefer me to have some big monumental plan like I'm going to have a town hall meeting or something like that, but I think it's important to get to just know people as humans. And so, that hasn't been the easiest task for me because even though that's my value, that's not necessarily the value of all the people that I'm working with. Some people prefer to meet in groups. Some people prefer to meet in a more formal basis. Some people prefer to just skip over all of that and just collaborate on a mission. And so, right now what I'm doing is I'm figure out what is the best way to bring people together because I have my ideas on ways to bring people together, but sometimes my ideas are not always well-received by the people I'm trying to bridge the gap with.
Another way that I'm working to build the union, in addition to just meeting with people on a one-on-one basis, is we've executed a listening tour so we can hear the concerns of our members. Our executive board has a retreat coming up, so I hope to use that as an opportunity to get to know and familiarize my executive board members with each other more. And I think that—I think that the work itself is going to unite us as a union. I think that right now there are some people that have the courage and they have the support and they are willing to risk new leadership because they want change. And then, I think there's some people that they want change, but fears—But change is scary because when you ask for change, you're also going into the unknown, and that's understandable as well.
And I think to meet both of those people where they are, what they need to see is that the work gets done. And that work being, making things better for our students, making things better for our teachers, our PSRPs, and our Baltimore City community at large. And I think once people see that our current union leadership is making strides to make those things better, then it will bring people together.
JAISAL NOOR Speaking of the conditions in the school system, that's something that frequently it seems thrusts Baltimore into the spotlight when there's freezing classrooms in the winter or ACs broken in the summer. That's, you know, that gets national attention. But I wanted to turn to a clip of a public school student, Deshawna Bryant. She's 18-years-old, describing the conditions in her school. She's also a plaintiff in the ACLU of Maryland and NAACP Legal Defense Fund's two-decade-old lawsuit against the State of Maryland seeking more funding. They were victorious 20 years ago, but they're coming back. And they're arguing the state hasn't fulfilled its obligations to adequately fund schools in Baltimore. As you know, the state's own studies have found Baltimore schools are underfunded by between a quarter of a billion to about $370 million every year. So here's this clip of the Deshawna talking about why this is important to her.
DESHAWNA BRYANT It has a terrible impact on Baltimore City Public School students because everyone wants to judge us— how they don't think we're the best students, how we're not up there in test scores, and everything. But we can't, we can't have the best test scores, we can't be the best students if we're not put in the proper environment. If we had to leave every single time it's cold, if the building has to be let out, or if we had to leave every time it's too hot to stay in the building, or if our teachers don't have enough materials to teach us the proper things, it makes it hard to be these students that everybody wants us to live up to be.
JAISAL NOOR So that's a public school student in Baltimore. One of, you know, almost 90,000—
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Oh, yeah.
JAISAL NOOR That face these conditions. Talk about what the union is going to do to help uplift students like Deshawna.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN I think the first thing that I would like our union to do is to bring students to the table in the beginning of decision-making. I've been to a lot of meetings where people are talking about education, and I have seen maybe two students at all of these meetings, and I think that's a problem. I think it's a problem when we continue to make decisions about education without our students, our most valuable resource, being a part of that. And I think if we continue to do that, we'll continue missing the mark. And so, I think the union can be a leader in making certain that when decisions are being made, when infrastructure is being put into place, when anything is being discussed that has to do with our student population, that there's a representative from our student population at that table telling us what it is that we need to do to accommodate students.
And I know there's some people that feel like, you know, they're young, they don't know the big picture. And they may not have the big picture, but without them in the picture at all, we're not painting one that fits their needs or that meets any or that addresses any of the challenges that they're facing. And so, you know, I just want to reiterate that the union is committed to making certain that our students are at the table.
JAISAL NOOR And you mentioned how you were an activist and an organizer before you became a teacher.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Right.
JAISAL NOOR Talk a little bit about how education fits into this larger picture of the issues that the City of Baltimore faces. You know, we have the murder rate, we've got a housing crisis, lead poisoning is still an issue. How can uplifting education uplift the city overall?
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Well, I think that when you go into your school building or your classroom, what you hope to get, what you hope to leave out with is motivation and inspiration. And a feeling that you matter in the world and that you can change something in the world. Or even if not the world— your own community, your street, your house. And I think that if we cannot give our children that small glimmer of hope, or just that basic foundation that they can do something, then that in turn leads to a whole city of hopelessness, a poverty of desire. And it's not just a place of hope, but it's a space.
You know, we talk about schools being used a lot for academics, but we fail to realize that our schools could be used as a space to convene people, to convene stakeholders in our city, to be used as a resource to bridge a gap between some of the things that our community members don't have. Something as simple as getting the new driver's license ID, I know there are some teachers that are helping community members figure out all the documents they need to get, because for some people that's a really cumbersome process. And so, you know, education needs to be the—It's kind of like the focal point or the home that everybody can come to when they need to get rejuvenated, re-energized, where they get the resources, where they get the research they need to then go out to do whatever they think needs to be done in their community. But that's where you get the basics.
We have a lot of people that are activists, we have a lot of people that are fighting for their communities, but what they don't have is the backing of the school community. We hold the majority. We have a lot of people in our city. We have the majority of the youth right in our hand and we know that youth change the world. Youth have led all of the biggest movements, the most transformational movements, and we are responsible for cultivating them to be those people that can go out and make these changes that we need. And so we need to take that responsibility very seriously, and make certain that we are living up to being pretty much the water that plants the seeds for all of these changes that we want in our city to happen. The youth is where it starts and we need to take care of them. And that's what our school system is supposed to do. That's what education is supposed to do. It's supposed to be for making sure our kids are okay so that they can then make sure our world is okay.
JAISAL NOOR All right. Diamonte Brown, the new President of the Baltimore Teachers Union, thank you so much for joining us and we'll certainly keep following. You know, we know there's always different events and actions happening around the school system.
JAISAL NOOR There's going to be a big fight in Annapolis this year because the Democratic leadership, sort of, punted on this issue of the Kerwin Commission and how to pour these billions of dollars the school system needs. We know that's going to be an issue. We know there's a whole slew of other issues that are going to be unfolding, especially when the school year starts.
JAISAL NOOR We hope to have you and other members of the teachers' union in as part of our Real Talk Tho series.
JAISAL NOOR So we've already reached out to you about that, so stay tuned for that. That's going to happen later this summer or the early fall.
DIAMONTÉ BROWN Okay.
JAISAL NOOR And we'll keep everyone posted on what's happening with the schools in Baltimore. Thanks so much for joining us.
JAISAL NOOR And thank you for joining us at The Real News Network.
