So many women can relate to her reasoning.
Over the years, we've seen Ina Garten share a lot of her life on TV and learned a lot about her. She has a bevy of famous friends like Taylor Swift, Alec Baldwin, Michelle Obama and a highly covetable relationship with husband Jeffrey (even Stephen Colbert wants in). But one thing we've never seen is Ina with children. And the reason why is simple: She doesn't have any—a choice she and Jeffrey made early in their marriage. Now, she's finally revealing why.
48 years and I'm just getting started! ??????
According to People, Garten opened up in an interview on the Katie Couric Podcast: "I really felt, I feel, that I would have never been able to have the life I've had," she told Couric. "So it's a choice, and that was the choice I made."
Garten also touched on the stigma that surrounds women who decide not to become mothers. She and Jeffrey met at Dartmouth College ("He saw me walking around the campus and he said to his roommate, 'I wonder who that girl is,'" Garten recalled) and married in 1968, a year when gender stereotypes were decidedly less progressive than they are today. Even so, Garten says she never felt criticized. "I never felt judged by it—maybe people did but I didn't notice," she said on the podcast, adding that the only thing she missed out on was the camaraderie between the parents of kids' friends.
We can't help but respect Garten for opening up about her choice—and thank her, too. Can you imagine a world without the Barefoot Contessa? Yeah, neither can we!

The City of Lancaster does not issue construction stormwater permits, but relies on Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3) approved with the construction plans and on the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency General Construction Stormwater Permit.
For sites over one acre or part of a larger development that is over one acre, the developer must receive coverage under an Ohio Environmental Permit. It is strongly recommended that each contractor also receive coverage as a co-permitee.
Sites under one acre that are not part of a larger development are not required to receive permit coverage. They are required to conform to Best Management Practices for erosion and sediment control.
If you are building a home you may be required to obtain coverage under a single lot permit, unless your homebuilder already has coverage under the subdivision development. As part of your building permit, you will be advised if a separate permit is required. Erosion and sediment control requirements will also be developed and included as part of your plan approval.
This doesn't mean we are indifferent to erosion and sediment control. Our erosion and sediment control standards are found in Lancaster Codified Ordinance Chapter 919. Our process starts when detailed site plans are submitted. We will review and approve your SWP3 for compliance with our regulations. Once construction starts we will make erosion and sediment control inspections at your site to insure compliance. After each inspection you will receive a report outlining deficiencies. Failure to address deficiencies may result in enforcement actions ranging from stop work orders to legal action to verified complaints to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
For projects with post construction detention or retention facilities, we will also perform an annual inspection for compliance. You will receive a report outlining deficiencies and corrective actions.

Ranking well on search engine result pages and driving traffic to your website is hard work. Keyword competition is a determining factor in how well your website ranks and how much traffic it gets.
The secret to getting the best results is to pursue low-competition keywords in the short term. This ensures that you make the most of your SEO efforts. Once you've established your presence in Google and built reputation and traffic, you can target more competitive keywords to achieve your ultimate SEO goals. How to find low-competition keywords? Read on!
Low-competition keywords are a gold mine for your website, especially if you're a newbie. With little or no link-building efforts, you can rank for these keywords and drive loads of traffic to your website. Targeting low-competition keywords is a great way to build your domain authority quickly. In this guide, you'll learn how to find low-competition keywords that will boost your website's rankings.
A low-competition keyword is a keyword you can rank for without much effort. With little domain authority and little or no link building, you can rank for these keywords and drive loads of traffic to your website.
As the name implies, low-competition keywords have lesser competition than generic keywords. This means that fewer websites are competing for them. This, in turn, places you in a better position at ranking on the first page of SERPs compared to a highly competitive keyword.
Low-competition keywords are great opportunities for an SEO strategy, especially if your website is new. They help you achieve your organic traffic goals and search engine rankings easily and without much effort. By targeting low-competition keywords, you build a solid foundation for pursuing more competitive keywords in the long run.
Keyword competition measures how difficult it will be to rank in Google's search results for a particular term. The higher the competition for a keyword, the harder it will be for your website to rank for it. Low-competition keywords are easier to dominate as they typically have fewer websites vying for the top spots of SERPs. With low domain authority and little to no link building, you can drive loads of organic traffic to your website with these keywords.
Low-competition keywords offer a great short-term strategy and are a great way to build a solid foundation. They're ideal for startups, new websites, websites with little to no domain rating, and businesses in highly-competitive industries. They're a great way to get results quickly. Once you've established a solid search presence on your website, you can move on to moderately-competitive keywords.
Put yourself in the shoes of someone looking for your product or service. What would you want to know? What would you search for on Google? Jot down your ideas – they can be broad themes, not just exact phrases. Take note of everything that comes to mind when you think about your business offerings. For instance, if you sell auto parts, you might brainstorm the following:
Console Wipers
Tires and brakes
Google's suggestions can help uncover low-competition keywords quickly. Start typing a keyword in the Google search box, and you'll see a list of relevant keyword suggestions. You may follow your keyword with letters of the alphabet (from A-Z) to see what Google suggests.
This is a great way to get low-competition, long-tail keywords you could target in your marketing strategy. Compile a list of all the suggestions relevant to your business.
Google Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) are a gold mine for finding low-competition keywords. The "People also ask" and "Related searches" sections are your best bets.
Search Google for your seed keyword, and check these sections for high-volume, low-competition keywords. The keyword suggestions in these SERPs areas are mostly long-tail and low-competition keywords.
Long-tail keywords are usually question-based, more specific than general keywords, and have low competition. You can find question keywords on Reddit, Quora, and Yahoo Answers. These forums are great for discovering what people want to know.
Producing valuable content that answers these questions is a great way to drive traffic to your website and achieving high search engine rankings.
Your competitors' keywords are a great source of inspiration for profitable keyword ideas. Check out the keywords your high-performing competitors are ranking for, and identify gaps you can fill.
If you produce better content on a low-competition keyword your competitor ranks for, you'll most likely outrank them.

Enter the keywords you've brainstormed into a keyword research tool to analyze the competition, monthly search volume, and other SEO metrics. You can also generate more keyword ideas with a keyword research tool.
You can customize your search by budget, marketing goal, and other details to find the best keywords that fit your needs. Tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs are great options.
The best keyword research tools display a Keyword Difficulty (SEO) or Competition Level (PPC) and search volume for each keyword.
Search volume means the number of searches a keyword receives in a search engine within a given timeframe. The search volume for a keyword indicates how much potential traffic you can receive. The higher the search volume for a keyword, the more traffic it can drive to your website.
Keyword difficulty is an SEO metric that estimates how difficult it would be to outrank the high-ranking websites on Google for a keyword. SEO tools represent keyword difficulty as a score or percent (between 0-100). The higher the percentage or score, the more effort you'll need to outperform your competition for particular keywords.
Keyword competition evaluates the bidding competition for a particular keyword – it is considered for paid search campaigns. Most keyword research tools assign a rank — Low, Medium, or High — for keyword competition in PPC.
High search volume keywords are characterized by high competition. However, there's no point in targeting a keyword no one is searching for. Your goal should be to strike a balance between search volume and competition. Focus on keywords with low competition but moderately high-search volume.
Analyze the competition level or difficulty score of each keyword on your list, and filter those with low competition but relatively high search volume.
While search volume and competition are important SEO metrics to consider before targeting a keyword, they're not the only ones. You need to create content that satisfies the intent of your audience as 'relevance' is a key Google ranking factor.
When conducting low-competition keyword research, also consider search intent. Everyone begins a search for a specific reason. The purpose for a search, i.e., the "why" behind a search query, is the "search intent."
There are typically four main types of search intent.
Informational. The searcher seeks an answer to a question or wants to learn more about a subject.
Navigational. The user wants to find a specific website or webpage.
Transactional. The searcher wants to make a purchase.
Commercial. The searcher wants to buy a product but is looking for a list of options to make a choice.
You can tell what bucket a keyword falls into by looking for keyword modifiers in the query. Words like "cheap," "buy," and "shop" indicate a transactional query. Words like "how," "where," or "what" shows an informational search.
Low-competition keywords are a great short-term keyword strategy. They offer an excellent opportunity to build your domain authority and establish your presence on Google. You can rank for these keywords with little to no link-building and domain authority. Once you've built a solid foundation using these keywords, you can target more competitive keywords.
The first step to building a solid keyword strategy is keyword research. You must identify the low-competition keywords your audience is searching for and the search volume for those keywords.
It makes no sense to target low-competition keywords no one is searching for. Your goal should be to target low-competition keywords with relatively high search volume. Keyword research tools, like SEMrush and Ahrefs, can help you analyze your keyword's competition level and search volumes.

I'm a 25-year-young full-time fashion, photojournalism, and wedding photographer based in New York City. I make frequent trips to the DC/Virginia area, though I'm willing to travel spur-of-the-moment if my expenses are covered or if I'm feeling particularly rich.
I refuse to limit myself or conform to one particular style. I'm always seeking new inspiration and additional knowledge, and I look to better myself with every shoot.
- I'm currently only testing with agency represented or agency quality models. If you're not an agency quality model but would like to have an agency quality portfolio, my rates are ridiculously affordable.
- I'm not looking to get rich off of ModelMayhem, however being a photographer is expensive. Having a GOOD photographer is invaluable. Please respect that.
- Professional models maintain good communication, check references, obtain reliable transportation, and arrive on time. Professional models do not bring escorts, bodyguards, or babysitters. Disrespectful, paranoid, or jealous escorts will not be tolerated or permitted. I'm just as concerned for my safety, and the safety of my equipment as you are about yourself. Please respect that as well.
- Even if you are not a professional model, you should still act professionally.
- On many occasions, I will shoot with a second photographer (to keep things fun and stress-free). This will be discussed during the process of setting up a shoot, and will never be a 'surprise' the day of.
- I hate (HATE) the modelmayhem message system. I don't mind initial contact via MM, but please don't be offended if I ask to move the conversation to either Facebook or email.
- While I'm actually an extremely humble human being, after years of experience in this industry, I've learned that I must remain strict to avoid getting walked all over. I'm a genuinely kind and understanding individual, but common courtesy is not dead.

Connect() Day 1, What a day to be a developer!
Wow, TechEd Europe happened only two weeks ago, and already another important event kicked off: Connect(). This time we are focused on current and future technologies for developers creating applications across a variety of platforms. And it's a virtual event which means almost all attendees (including your reporter Jan Tielens) were following it online. If you missed Day 1 you came to the right place to read our recap. And remember, Day 2 will be streamed live again later today at Channel 9, starting from 4pm CET.
Throughout the event there were three key themes: Innovation, Agility & Openness. For the purpose of this particular post I've focussed on the key announcements for the general developer community.
.NET server stack goes open source. Yes read it again, our .NET stack is now open source, including ASP.NET, the .NET compiler, the .NET Core Runtime, Framework and Libraries. This will enable developers to build with .NET across Windows, Mac or Linux. We'll be taking contributions for future improvements to .NET and will work through the .NET Foundation. This is jaw dropping news that will open new possibilities for existing .NET developers, as well as bring .NET to new developers who want to target those platforms. More details on the.NET Core is Open Source post on the .NET Framework Blog.
Visual Studio becomes free for non-enterprise development with Visual Studio Community Edition. Once more, read it again: Visual Studio Community 2013 is a fully functional, full featured Visual Studio SKU that allows developers to build applications that target desktop, mobile devices, web and cloud, including iOS and Android development. You can download it now. Developers can target any app or any platform, or combination of them in one single solution. It also supports the full power of Visual Studio extensibility. It's free for students, startups, open source developers and small companies, all of whom will have friction-free access to it. There are no restrictions on the usage, it's valid for production and commercial purposes, except enterprise applications.
As a result, developers can now use the breadth Microsoft's tools and services for free with Visual Studio Community 2013, Azure Free Trial providing hosting for 10 websites + 10 mobile services, and Visual Studio Online offering developer services free for up to 5 users. You can get started with all three offers today. You can find more details in Somasegar's blog post.
Perftips (one of my favorites!).
Built-in integration of the new "Roslyn" .NET compiler platform.
Light bulbs in the editor bring proactive refactoring and code fix opportunities to your attention as you are writing or browsing code.
Smart Unit Tests (based on Pex) analyses code and automatically generates unit tests to describe its behavior.
The Add Connected Service dialog, making it easy to discover and consume REST APIs in your applications, including services from both Microsoft and 3rdparties, with support for Azure Mobile Services, Azure Storage, Office 365 and Salesforce today. In addition, you can also add AD authentication to your web apps using the Azure Active Directory Authentication wizard.
A new benefit for MSDN subscribers: access to Pluralslight e-learning.
A big blog post is published that addresses the roadmap for the WPF platform, including areas of investment we're prioritizing and tooling improvements for upcoming releases of Visual Studio.
TypeScript 1.3 is now available, it's part of the Visual Studio 2015 Preview or you can install it for Visual Studio 2013 via the power tool install, NPM, and as source.
The Xamarin platform enables developers to build native applications within Visual Studio for every device using the productivity of .NET while leveraging all the power of the device. We continue to partner with Xamarin to enable a great experience for C# and F# developers doing cross-platform mobile development. The partnership between Xamarin and Microsoft is expanded resulting in Xamarin Templates in Visual Studio 2015, a free Xamarin Starter Edition for Visual Studio users and special offers for MSDN Subscribers (more details on the partnership). A magical moment was when Miguel de Icaza was on stage with Scott Hanselman showcasing some Xamarin goodness.
With Visual Studio 2015, we are delivering a complete tool chain for cross-platform mobile development with C++. This includes integrated support for the Clang compiler and LLVM optimizer for targeting Android now and iOS soon.
As part of Visual Studio 2015, developers now also get access to the Visual Studio Emulator for Android, a high-performance x86-based emulator for the Android platform that supports a variety of productivity features for emulating device inputs like accelerometer, location, and network conditions.
Speaking of Azure, during the keynote a very cool demo was shown: a Docker container running Linux (hosted in Azure), containing an ASP.NET 2015 web site, while connected to Visual Studio 2015 for remote debugging. Mind blowing! A full list of new ASP.NET features in Visual Studio 2015 Preview and VS2013 Update 4 can be found in this extensive blog post on the Developer Tools blog.
Phew, how amazing are those announcements?! What do you think about it? We'd love to hear from you so join the conversation on Twitter via the #vsconnect hash tag and tweet your questions/remarks/thoughts to @msdevbelux account.


(Tamuning, Guam- Friday, November 30, 2018) GTA has donated $25,000 to support Ayuda Foundation's relief efforts in the wake of Typhoon Yutu to help provide resources of food and necessities, and aid in long-term rebuilding efforts in the CNMI. The monetary donation will go towards purchasing much needed supplies specifically for the Council on Developmental Disabilities. GTA is continuously looking for opportunities to give back in impactful ways, most especially during this season of giving.
Roland Certeza, GTA President and Chief Executive Officer, says, "Helping communities has no boundaries when people need help. We are honored to support the efforts of the Ayuda Foundation, an organization that has, for many years, assisted with relief efforts throughout our region. We're committed to working with disaster relief partners to ensure the CNMI comes back stronger. Collectively, we can all make a difference."
Last week, GTA kicked off its annual 'Be the Gift' Holiday campaign, teaming up with the Guam Memorial Hospital Volunteers Association to make the season a little brighter for patients at GMH with a donation of Digital TV services for the Medical Surgical and Telemetry wards. 'Be the Gift' highlight's GTA's charitable efforts to give back and reflect on what matters most.

The Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation has committed R402m and raised R1.2bn for education and small business development through its partner entities since its inception in 2004, says its CEO.
Mmabatho Maboya said more than a million pupils, students and emerging entrepreneurs have benefited through its programmes.
Its partner entities are Adopt-a-School, KST, the Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust and Black Umbrellas, which she says implement holistic programmes related to school development, tertiary education access and the incubation of 100% black-owned small businesses.
The foundation commissioned an external review to evaluate the efficacy of its programmes, conducted by the Studies in Poverty and Inequality Institute.
Providing an update on the review, Maboya said the Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust, a higher education bursary scheme, had supported 247 students since its inception in 1999.

Black Umbrellas, she said, had incubated 1,553 small businesses that have achieved R2.9bn in collective turnover, contributed R260m to tax revenue, and created and preserved almost 11,874 jobs.
Adopt-a School works to improve infrastructure, governance and teaching in disadvantaged schools. The 2019 external review found that 228 schools had been adopted, with 637,531 learners benefiting, said Maboya.
Six new schools have been built, 97 schools renovated, and 258 classrooms, 44 ablution facilities, 30 computer laboratories, 27 administration facilities and 21 science laboratories built. The build programme has benefited 1,378 local businesses and created 7,441 temporary jobs.
Adopt-a-School also implements the Thari pilot project in Botasabelo in the Free State and Diepkloof in Gauteng. Maboya said: "Thari aims to strengthen school communities by creating safe and empowering environments free from violence. It enhances academic effectiveness, is inclusive and gender sensitive, and promotes health and wellbeing for all."
Thari, since its inception in 2017, has helped 579 children and 371 family members with psychosocial support services and reached 1,850 children through its Safe Park activities.
KST, a collaboration between the Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation and Kagiso Trust, has together with other partners benefited 22,979 educators in the Free State in curriculum and leadership management training.
KST has also built 334 new facilities and renovated 289 school structures, supporting 279 SMMEs during its build programme. A further 110 schools are supported by KST in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and the Northern Cape, during which 2,421 educators have taken part in "empowerment and transformation" workshops.
Maboya said KST also implements an eye-screening programme through which 146,122 eyesight tests have been conducted and 5,662 pupils received spectacles.

Helping People Choose Jobs: A History of the Guidance Profession
Mark L. Savickas
Role transitions prompt individuals to reflect on where they have been in order to consider where they wish to go. Educational and vocational guidance experts aid these individuals to clarify what is at stake and which decisions must be made. In a parallel process, cultural transitions prompt vocational guidance experts to reflect on where they have been in order to consider where they will take their profession. With the rapid economic changes brought by information technology and the globalisation of the economy, the profession of vocational guidance must reconsider the current relevance of its model, methods, and materials. This challenge requires that the profession again address a major cultural transition in a way that best assists individuals adapt to the personal transitions that they face. Thus, the profession of guidance must examine how well its 20th century theories and techniques meet the needs of 21st century clients. The present chapter contributes to this reflection by considering the history of the guidance profession, especially the origins and development of its four main methods for helping people choose jobs.
My thesis is that each time the social organisation of work changes, so does society's methods for helping individuals make vocational choices. Thus, the chapter explains how, during four economic eras, four distinct helping methods evolved in the following sequence: mentoring, guiding, counselling, and constructing. The dominant helping method of a prior era never completely disappears; instead, it fades in popularity as the new model gains adherents. So for example, when guiding replaced mentoring as the dominant model, mentoring still remained a viable strategy for helping. Today, all four helping methods are currently in use, with preference for a model being determined by the developmental status of the economy in which it is applied.

New TV and Grassroots Campaign Celebrates Good Jobs and Hard-working Men and Women
As part of an effort to highlight hard-working people, and their support of good union jobs, UFCW Local 75 is launching a coordinated grassroots and television campaign thanking the community and customers for shopping at stores that support good union jobs.
The "Summer of Thanks" initiative includes a new television ad campaign, entitled "Thank You" which features local workers and members of the UFCW from Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and Northern Kentucky who work at Kroger, Meijer, CVS, ConAgra, and Fairfield Center. The campaign has a simple goal – to say "thank you" to everyone who works hard, as well as to raise awareness about the importance of celebrating good union jobs that provide better wages and better benefits, like those our 30,000 members enjoy.
"No one works harder than the people who live in our communities, and we want to celebrate them and say thank you for the incredible support they show every day to the men and women of the UFCW who work at Kroger, Meijer, and CVS," said UFCW Local 75 President Kevin Garvey. "Good union jobs not only pay better wages and benefits, they reflect the values of our community. We put family first, and we believe that when we work hard, we've earned the right to a better life."
In addition to the new ad, UFCW Local 75 members will begin a series of grassroots actions at various locations in Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, and Toledo. The purpose of these small actions is to give customers and community members a personal thank you for their support.
"Saying 'thank you' is about more than us showing our gratitude to customers, it's about recognizing how their hard work helps to produce good jobs that strengthen our community. It's about identifying responsible companies who are doing the right thing by supporting these jobs. It's about letting everyone in our community know that they, too, can earn a better life when we all stand together," said Garvey.
The "Thank You" ad will launch on Tuesday, June 21, and will run throughout the coming weeks in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Toledo markets. The ad includes real UFCW Local 75 members who work in local grocery stores, pharmacies, meat-packing plants, and health care facilities.
Want to share your union story? Tell us why you're proud to be part of the UFCW Local 75 family using #UFCW75proud.

Review: A Woman in Pieces Crossed a Sea by Denise Bergman
A Woman in Pieces Crossed a Sea by Denise Bergman, winner of the West End Press
2013 Patricia Clark Smith Poetry Prize, West End Press, 2014, 72pp/, $14.95
The subtle, fierce poems in Denise Bergman's new collection, A Woman in Pieces Crossed a Sea, offer a biography of the Statue of Liberty, beginning with the titanic Statue's birth in France in the mind of sculptor Batholdi, her dismemberment into 350 "pieces" packed in 214 crates, her journey "in pieces" across the sea to Bedloe's Island, her unpacking and re-assembling by "workers [who] break their lives into distinctions," and her resurrection and presence as symbol and sign of all that America has long promised to its citizens and the world.
Bergman's story of the giant copper and steel "woman…born with broken/shackles on her feet" begins with a demand from the heart: "Hey Lady!/…Give us/what you promised, or give us/an honest truth." The poet holds the hugeness of the symbolic content the Statue was endowed against past and ongoing injustices of her adopted country. Her request for "an honest truth," rather than "the honest truth" establishes the quiet irony that seeps through the meticulously crafted book. "An honest truth" measures all too precisely what we can ask for in a land where poverty of truth is a daily condition.

Moeves pitches a gem in Norse win
Kyle Brown
Tim Downer
The Northern Kentucky University Baseball team entered a four-game series on April 24 and 25 one game ahead of their opponent, Quincy University, for third place in the Great Lakes Valley Conference standings. A good showing in the series, and the Norse put a little breathing room between themselves and their opponents.
The first game of the series began with the Norse sending sophomore pitcher Derrick Moeves to the mound against Quincy's Brad Stone.
Moeves got out of the first inning with only one Quincy batter reaching base as the result of an error.
NKU's lead off batter, senior Justin Mundt, reached base as the result of an error by Quincy shortstop Mike Miley. A balk by Stone eventually sent Mundt to second.
After Shaun Erie struck out, designated hitter Keith Jackson was hit by a pitch which put NKU runners on first and second with one out. Center fielder Alex Frank walked to load the bases for the Norse, however Stone ended the inning by striking out Conor McGeehan.
Moeves took care of the Quincy hitters in the second inning, striking out all three batters he faced.
Quincy threatened to score in the third after loading the bases with two outs. Quincy right fielder Kevin Reynolds grounded to Matt Wagers, who took the force out at second base, and the Norse finished the inning unscathed.
The Norse offense finally struck in the third inning following Mundt's single past a diving Quincy third baseman Brooks Bainter. Erie stepped to the plate and finally executed a sacrifice bunt for NKU as Mundt advanced to second base.
"Our game is short, we need to be able to get bunts down," NKU coach Todd Asalon said. "Once we were able to finally execute a bunt, things happened for us. Hopefully our guys learned from this, and in the future have the same results."
Jackson hit a single to right field to score Mundt and put the Norse up 1-0.
After Jackson stole second base, Fraley singled up the middle driving Jackson in, and put the Norse up 2-0.
Moeves rolled throughout the rest of the game, allowing only two Quincy base runners in the final three innings he pitched, with neither of them advancing past second base.
Junior Justin Seiter entered the game in the seventh to pitch for the Norse and retired Quincy 1-2-3, picking up his sixth save of the year in the process.
Moeves' record improved to 5-3 on the season after giving up two hits and striking out eight Quincy batters in the six innings he pitched.
"Getting the first pitch over today was a big thing," Moeves said. "Coming off of three day's rest, I was a little tired.
Beating the team that was directly behind them in the GLVC standings was a big confidence boost for the Norse.
"We're in third right now, and Quincy was right behind us in fourth, so it was a big win for us," Moeves said.
"We always want to sweep teams, and you can't sweep anybody until you win that first one," Asalon said. "It was big. Moeves did what he was supposed to do; Seiter came in and closed the door on them. So it was a good win, and we feel like we're playing our best ball."

Having a formal and structured budgeting process is the foundation for good business management, growth and development. Very similar to our personal finances, discipline and planning should be the cornerstone of a business budgeting process.
So where do we begin? As with most things that come with managing an organization, budgeting needs to be driven by the vision (what we are trying to accomplish) and the strategic plan (the steps to get there).
Organizations that stay focused on their strategy and plan know exactly where they want to spend their resources and have a plan to help keep them from spending money in areas that do not line up with the vision (what we are trying to do) and mission (why we are doing it).
Every organization, no matter the size should know why it exists and what it hopes to accomplish. This is articulated through a written Vision and Mission Statement. A Strategic Plan is the HOW the organization plans to achieve its mission.
The first step in the budgeting process is having a written strategic plan. This ensures that organizational resources are used to support the strategy and development of the organization. It means budgeting toward the vision.
Annual business goals are the steps an organization takes to implement its strategic plan and it is these goals that need to be funded by the budget. Goals need to be developed and there needs to be accountability for achieving goals, which is the responsibility of the management team, board or business owner.
The budget provides the financial resources to achieve goals. For example, if your organization has outgrown its facility and there is an objective to increase space, there needs to be dollars budgeted to expand or move the business operations.
Revenue projections should be based on historical financial performance, as well as projected growth income. The projected growth may be tied to organizational goals and planned initiatives that will initiate business growth.
For example, if there is a goal to increase sales by 10%, those sales projections should be part of the revenue projections for the year.
Projecting fixed costs is simply a matter of looking at the monthly predictable costs that do not change. Employee compensation costs, facility expenses, utility costs, mortgage or rent payments, insurance costs, etc.
Fixed costs do not change and are a minimum expense that need to be funded in the budget. For example, if there are open staff positions, the cost to fill those positions should be part of fixed cost projections.
Variable costs are costs that fluctuate from month to month, supply costs, overtime costs, etc. These are expenses that can and should be budgeted and controlled. For example, if higher Christmas sales drive overtime costs temporarily, those costs should be budgeted.
Goal related projects should also be given budgets. Each initiative should have projected costs associated with the goals. This is where the cost of implementing goals are incorporated into the annual budget. Projections of costs should be identified, laid out and incorporated into the departmental budget that is responsible for completing the goal.
For example, if the sales department has a goal of increasing sales by 10%, costs associated with the increased sales (additional marketing materials, travel, entertainment) should be incorporated into that budget.
Every organization, whether they are for-profit or not-for-profit, should have a targeted profit margin. Profit margins allow for returns for the business owner or investors.
Not-for-profit organizations use their profit margins to reinvest into the facilities and development of the organization. Profits are important for all organizations and healthy profit margins are a strong indicator of the strength of an organization.
The governing board, president, owner or head of the organization should approve the budget and keep current with budget performance. Again, similar to your personal finances, the owner should be reviewing monthly financial statements for the following reasons.
To be familiar with all expenditures.
To safeguard the organization against misappropriation of funds or employee fraud.
A budget review committee should meet on a monthly basis to monitor performanceagainst goals. This committee should review budget variances and assess issues associated with budget overages.
It is important to do this on a monthly basis so there can be a correction to overspending or modification to the budget if needed. Waiting until the end of the year to make corrections could have a negative affect on the final budget outcome.
Budget variances should be reviewed with the responsible department manager and questions should be raised as to what caused the variance. Sometimes unforeseen situations arise that cannot be avoided so it is also important (just like your personal budget) to have an emergency fund to help with those unplanned expenditures.
For example, if the HVAC system suddenly goes down, and needs to be replaced, this would be a budget variance that needs to be funded.
Good budgeting processes can help develop and advance an organization, while sloppy budgeting and monitoring of budgets can blindside an organization and affect its long-term financial health and viability.
Finally, without customers, there are no revenues to budget. For this reason, strategic plans and budgets should be targeted at one thing and one thing only – the customer.
This is why it is imperative to identify who your customers are, find out what they want and budget dollars to put systems and processes in place to meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
Isn't that what we are all trying to do?

Aamir Khan: Oscar nomination gets a film more viewers
Aamir's Lagaan had won an Oscar nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category
Aamir Khan, who stays away from award functions, says an Oscar nomination provides an opportunity to a film to get more viewers.
Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan, who stays away from award functions, says an Oscar nomination provides an opportunity to a film to get more viewers.
Aamir is one of the few Indian filmmakers to win an Oscar nomination - 2001 period drama Lagaan in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
"For me, the Oscar is a window from which your audience increases. I see it in that way only," Aamir, currently basking in the success of Dhoom: 3, told reporters in a group interview.
"Oscar can't tell me whether my film is good or bad and I am not interested in that. My interest with Oscar is that it's an opportunity for a film to get a larger window to a larger audience," he added.
"Audience are unaware of your film, but if you manage to get nominated then there is a whole world out there who wants to see your film, who otherwise would not have known about your film. It's an opportunity to get your film viewed by more people.
"Whether the film is good or bad, this I want to hear form the audience and not from anyone else," he added.

I think we can all agree this provincial election has gotten pretty overheated. It's warranted. There are genuine serious issues coming up about climate change and energy policies, human rights, and moral issues. There's something else I've wanted to focus on, though: underdogs.
There are hundreds of candidates running for office in this election, and though change is in the air, only 87 can become Members of the Legislative Assembly. I wanted to know what motivates the people running in tough ridings, the ones that have been impenetrable fortresses for other parties for years.
Sitting in the passenger seat of his door-knocking volunteer's car, Marlin Schmidt is swapping horror stories about the mosquitoes up north. Way up north. Schmidt's a hydrogeologist for Alberta Environment in Edmonton now, but says his time working in the field in northern Canada shaped his journey from a young Reformer to an NDP candidate today.
The riding Schmidt's taken on is Edmonton-Gold Bar, and it's been won by Liberals since 1986. Hugh MacDonald has been the MLA here since 1997, and only decided not to run this time around after running for the Liberal leadership and losing out to Raj Sherman.
That's a tough legacy to overcome for any candidate, and the new areas that have been added have mostly voted Tory before. But Schmidt's been through similar battles before running federal races for the Member of Parliament in this area, Linda Duncan. Before she won, Rahim Jaffer seemed to have just as tight a grip on the riding for the Conservatives.
I talked to Marlin Schmidt to see what he had to say about moving over to the NDP, the minor controversy over a public school trustee's endorsement, and the conditions under which he loves strategic voting.
Following Schmidt and his volunteer on the evening's door-knocking route, I realize he's tall enough to get swiped by most of the trees, so I try to veer to the edge of the sidewalk. As we walk, Schmidt jokes he's been interested in politics since he was a kid because he his parents were always swearing at politicians on TV, and he wanted to find out what they were swearing about.
His family moved around a lot when he was young, and Schmidt says he has a strong memory of growing up in Saskatchewan under Premier Grant Devine's scandal-ridden Conservatives. The corruption of that party and its baker's dozen of MLAs convicted of fraud "left a bit of a mark," says Schmidt.
The Reform Party seemed to capture the sense he felt of being alienated by the "Eastern bastards" when he was young, he says, and Reform got his vote in his first election. Eventually though, Schmidt realized he felt like the West was being cheated more by big oil and banking companies than by the government.
It was living in northern Alberta with his young wife and working as an environmental consultant for oil and gas companies that guided his shift towards the NDP, he says. He felt frustrated that so much of his pricy consulting fee was going to shareholders, not the people doing work in the company. And eventually he got frustrated with his taxes, too — with how low they were getting.
"Since I started working, my taxes have basically just been doing down," Schmidt says. But the cost of saving for his kids' post-secondary education and non-instructional fees kept going up. The NDP seemed to be a better fit for his belief that it's easier to pay for the important things collectively.
It's easy to understand why he just walks past the houses with Wildrose signs on their lawn. It makes sense too that the longest conversation of his evening is at a house where a man tells him he's worried about high taxes and wages squeezing out his small business.
Schmidt stands at the door for a while trying to persuade the man that the NDP wants big corporations to pay their fair share, but would lower taxes for small businesses. The man nods, saying somebody's got to pay for everything government does. I'm surprised to hear him tell Schmidt he thinks green concerns about the oil sands are also overblown, but that he's rented a helicopter to see industry's impact on the land, and walked through reclaimed forests to see what they look like for himself.
"It's not much of a forest," he says.
Although environmental issues play to Schmidt's strengths, he gives a delicate answer to this potential voter. He talks about the real concerns he sees in his work at Alberta Environment, but agrees they're occasionally blown out of proportion by advocacy groups. I ask Schmidt later why the NDP platform is so vague about environmental issues, and he admits it's a third rail for their party in the same way moral issues are proving to be for Wildrose.
"As soon as the NDP talk about the environment," Schmidt says, "people think we want to shut down the oil sands." So this election they've consciously decided to back down from the development slow-down they called for in 2008, and focus on issues like upgrading bitumen in Alberta.
That issue has earned them attack ads from the Merit Contractors Assocation, which represents non-union contracting companies benefiting from the current setup of shipping unrefined oil out. Schmidt gets a pretty big smile talking about those ads. "Unless they're a highly vindictive organization," he argues, they wouldn't attack the NDP unless they saw them as a credible threat.
The one minor bump in Schmidt's campaign so far has been Liberal candidate Josipa Petrunic's campaign's allegation that he received an illegal endorsement from Edmonton Public School Board trustee Sarah Hoffman. They say Hoffman's endorsement breaks an Alberta School Board Association policy an abusing her position.
To be clear, I spoke to Dave Colburn, Board Chair of the EPSB. He said they have no policy on the issue as long as the endorsement is personal. I asked whether it was a problem that Hoffman's endorsement on Schmidt's campaign literature names her as a trustee. He said unequivocally that their legal team has advised him she hasn't violated any rules.
As for Schmidt, he says he thinks it's appropriate for elected officials to support other candidates as long as no public money is involved. Especially with so few progressives in Alberta, he says, they can't wall each other off.
Inexplicably, this house had a sign in their yard for Rahim Jaffer. He was the Conservative MP for this riding... federally... until 2008.
The reason I'm standing awkwardly on the porch as Schmidt knocks on dozens of doors, of course, is I want to find out why he's running for the NDP in a riding held by another party on the left for so long. It's a question that comes from many people he talks to who've voted Liberal before. Schmidt has an answer ready when people argue the riding's been held by them for decades.
Hugh MacDonald, he argues, had strong trade union backing, and supported many issues the NDP champion. On the back of his pamphlets, a tiny bar graph reflects how hard he worked to battle the same argument campaigning for Linda Duncan. It shows Duncan was miles ahead of the Liberal candidate in the area during the 2011 election, and that definitely wasn't always the case. For years, the Liberals argued they were the only credible threat to the Conservatives.
There's a website called Change Alberta endorsing "progressive" candidates with the best chance of winning competitive ridings all over the province. Though their methodology is a bit shaky, Schmidt has won them over in Edmonton-Gold Bar. Since the NDP so often end up on the losing end of strategic voting though, I ask him how he feels about that kind of endorsement.
He's not the kind of candidate who suddenly puts on a new mask every time he greets people at the door, and I can tell he's struggling to give an intellectually honest answer. He says he's trying to come up with a good argument, but there isn't one.
The pamphlet and the website help this time though, and he knows he needs to win.
Come back tomorrow, when Lana Cuthbertson and I will profile Edmonton-Glenora candidate and former Alberta Party leader Sue Huff.
I enjoyed your story. I especially liked the comment that Schmidt wants to pay more taxes. Seems to me that with more money in his pocket he could assemble like minded individuals, pool their resources and start heir own resource company that could pay more taxes.
You see, thats how a strong democracy works(you know as opposed to borrow) in conjunction with market forces. People vote with their wallet for the things that they want top pay for.
Schmidt stopped by my door also. I asked him how they were going to pay for more health care and education with the shrinkage of the royalty payments from oil and gas leaving a 5 billion dollar hole in the budget. He told me the NDP government would provide "better leadership". Well, we have seen their better leadership, and there is now a 6.1 billion dollar hole in the budget. And they have lead us all the way to the bank to ask for a handout to keep the light on.
Dont you find it ironic that they hate the banks, but when they want to spend more money then they make, thats where they traipse off to?
It does make me giggle, but I guess thats just me.


The Sea Knight is still the backbone of the USMC medium assault helicopter fleet.
The CH-46D Sea Knight helicopter is used by the Navy for shipboard delivery of cargo and personnel. The CH-46E is used by the Marine Corps to provide all-weather, day-or-night assault transport of combat troops, supplies and equipment. Troop assault is the primary function and the movement of supplies and equipment is secondary. Additional tasks may be assigned, such as combat support, search and rescue, support for forward refueling and rearming points, aeromedic evacuation of casualties from the field and recovery of aircraft and personnel.
The CH-46 Sea Knight was first procured in 1964 to meet the medium-lift requirements of the Marine Corps in all combat and peacetime environments since that time. The Navy Sea Knight fleet is scheduled to be replaced by September 2004 with the MH-60S Knighthawk.
