Associated Press reports there has been legislation filed that will be heard tomorrow in a Louisiana House committee related to ethics questions and complaints directed at State Superintendent of Education John White and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education president Chas Roemer.
Among the complaints, Common Core opponents have particularly criticized Superintendent of Education John White for his affiliation with the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for Colleges and Careers, which developed the testing material tied to Common Core that Louisiana uses.
Questions also have been raised about the sister of Chas Roemer, head of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, working as president of the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools and about BESE member Kira Orange Jones, who received ethics clearance several years ago to stay on the board while working for Teach for America.
Some of those types of affiliations would be prohibited under proposed legislation.

LITTLE THUMBS, BIG THUMBS : Champion of the Wild (second edition)
by Jon-Paul D. | published Wednesday, September 2, 2020
Our Big Bean is currently 5 years old. Nearly every morning, she wakes up and announces that she will be hosting a party for all of her friends, family, and neighbours. If left unchecked, she will then step out onto our front porch and loudly invite all of our neighbours to the party! Little Bean loves a good shouting match, and is happy to join in with a hearty "HEY! HEY! COME TO OUR PARTY!"
We're very fortunate to have not received any neighbourhood complaints, and perhaps even more so that no one has answered the call for those 7am house parties!
Speaking of parties, The Champion of the Wild is a family-friendly party in a box for ages 6 and up, which can be played with up to 8 players. It aims to answer the age-old question of animal kingdom superiority – who would win between a Peacock Mantis Shrimp and a Polar Bear? In a triathlon of competitions including Cheese Rolling, Capture the Flag, and a good ol' Staring Contest?!
Of the five competition categories (Endurance, Technical, Power, Speed, and Team events), three are chosen to form the Triathlon. Once the events have been determined, players will be dealt a hand of seven creatures, from which only one will be selected to compete in all three events. Once all animals have been selected, a period of debate commences, where players will grill each other on how their chosen animal would fare at the specific events. Following this phase, players will secretly rank how the others would perform in each competition. Points are awarded for each ranking token, and whoever has the most points wins the game!
The team behind Champion of the Wild has also provided several variants to play to the strengths of any group dynamic. Does your group have a strong social game? Have three players each select one event, and allow the others to grill them on the specifics of that competition before animals are chosen. Want to add a bit more strategy? Draft the animal cards to build a well-balanced squad of potential competitors.
However, the variant recommended for younger players is where we'll dig in a bit deeper. Rather than choosing one animal to compete in three events, players will instead choose a different creature for each event (from a hand of 5 cards instead of 7), allowing for shorter and less confrontational conversation about who will succeed. In our experience, using this one event / one animal method, the dialogue shifted from "why my competitor is the best" to "which competitor is the best". We all still advocated for our own animals, but the tone shifted to something more wholesome and collaborative.
It's in this zone that Champion of the Wild begins to really shine as a game for children and families. While each way of playing encourages creativity, leaning more into the players driving that exploration is both really fun, and a wholly fulfilling experience! Listening to my Big Bean explain why her Kangaroo was best suited to compete in a Hole Digging contest gave me a glimpse into how brilliant her little mind already has become. Not that I'm biased at all!
(By the way, it's because the Kangaroo already kicks up a lot of dirt when running, and as such already has lots of practice with digging.)
Some of the events had to be explained to her, such as what a Home Run Derby is all about, but once the parameters of the contest were understood, she quickly made a case for which of her animals would win. It was also heartwarming to watch her eyes light up, realizing that she knew most of the creatures popping up in the game. We left out the voting tokens in our family plays, but we'll definitely be adding them into the mix in due time.
The sheer amount of content provided in this relatively small box is kind of staggering. 75 event cards, each with detailed instructions, beautifully hilarious illustrations, and clear limitations (birds can compete in the rock climbing competition, but flying is absolutely not permitted). 58 animal cards, which look like photos at a glance, but upon closer inspection are also gorgeous illustrations. These competitor cards also feature details such as height, length, width and weight, along with a brief sentence about the animal featured. The game also includes a weather die, to provide another potential variable for each event, and offers further fodder for debate and discussion. Between the game modes, weather/animal/event combinations, and the creative instincts of the players themselves, this is a game that will likely never play the same way twice.
It's worth noting that this review refers to the second edition of the game. The number of animals and events are increased from the first edition, and several game modes are new to this edition (some of which may have been from suggestions from this great Shut Up and Sit Down review). If you own the first edition of the game, and aren't bothered by missing the new content, this is probably not a must buy. If you're new to the game and it seems like it might be up your alley, you can order it directly from Big Imagination's website, or request it from your local retailer!
Many games have come before this one asking players to pitch an idea to everyone else at the table – Snake Oil is probably the best of these, and even all of the Apples to Apples clones fall into this ballpark. Most of those other games, unfortunately, have a tendency to tilt in the direction of lewdness in the hands of certain players. The Champion of the Wild is a game that will remain on my shelf for many years to come, because it engages my children in a unique way, and also has the potential for riotous arguments once the littles have gone to bed.
OUR VERDICT: Two Little Thumbs Up AND Two Big Thumbs Up!
The Champion of the Wild (second edition) is a card-based party game for 3 to 8 players, with a playtime of approximately 30 minutes. Published by Big Imagination Games, and designed by Tom Clare, with artwork from Kevin Chapman, Dave Heaton, and Dan Misson. Thank you to Big Imagination Games for sending us a review copy of the game!

Drafted as a Soldier of Cancer
Aprilann Barbarino
After receiving a diagnosis of medulloblastoma at age 11, one woman has lived decades with the disease as her uninvited companion. Now, she writes, speaks and advocates for others facing cancer.
When I was 11 years old, my dream was to be on the TV show "Star Search." I loved singing, dancing and being my mom's little model. When we found out that "Star Search" was having auditions, my mom mailed in for an application and sent them a video of me singing and dancing. I could not believe that we were invited to the auditions. My mom wasted no time in spreading the word around our neighborhood.
We were two weeks away from my trip to California, and that's the closest I got to my dream. My plans were interrupted by a diagnosis of a medulloblastoma brain tumor. The doctor at our local hospital in Staten Island told my parents to make me comfortable; I was given six months to a year to live. By chance, we bumped into a pediatric neurologist who was affiliated with NYU Hospital. There, I was introduced to a pediatric neurologist and two pediatric neurosurgeons who saved my life.
My welcoming roommate, doctors and staff members told me all about the wonderful things NYU had to offer. They had an activity room where kids could play video games, bake and make arts and crafts. My family members added an extra infusion of hope and humor. I was the new kid on the block during that period, but not for long. I didn't know it yet, but I had been drafted as a soldier of cancer.
Soon afterwards, I learned that my cancer had spread to my spinal cord, and I was prescribed a year of chemotherapy and radiation. After the first week of chemo, I was very nauseated and lost my hair. The cool girl I used to be in school was gone, replaced by one who walked through the hallways with a bald head and black-and-blue arms from IVs. I was abused and tortured for wearing wigs that were ripped off my head by kids who were so cruel that I didn't consider them human. They changed the lyrics in popular songs of the '80s to ridicule my appearance. "She wakes up every morning just to do her makeup, but she's hairless, she's hairless." Little did they know that, while they were lucky and healthy enough to go home after school, I had to go back to the hospital for MRIs and CT scans. I put up with it all because I wanted my education no matter what it cost me.
One day after my third week of chemo, my Auntie Annie, my mother's oldest sister, gave me a picture of an Italian priest named Padre Pio; he later became a saint. Auntie told me all about this priest and the way he suffered with the stigmata. I developed an instant concern for him, but unfortunately, I threw up all over his picture. I also smelled an unusual smell. The following week when we went to NYU to discuss my status, the doctors looked at me as if they had seen a ghost. My parents wondered what kind of bad news they would get.
"Mr. and Mrs. Barbarino, we don't know how to tell you this," a doctor said. Right away, my parents' heads went down." Aprilann is not even finished with her fourth week of chemo, and the most recent test shows she is in complete remission." Right away their heads went up. Wow! They couldn't believe it. When we told Auntie, she said that Padre Pio had brought us a miracle. "Aprilann was the only one who smelled an unfamiliar smell, and that's how I knew he was helping her," she said. "When she threw up on his picture, that's when he took it all out of her."
Over the next three decades, my cancer came back 10 more times, but I beat it. Today, at 44, I am an educator with a master's degree in education and a bachelor's degree in English language arts. I am also an empirical author in the process of writing my first autobiography, "Solder of Cancer," and I'm a guest speaker and advocate for those who continue to suffer, survive and fight this terrible disease.
I believe that each survivor's story is needed today, more than ever. The more stories, the more glories that help to weaken cancer. As one cancer patient to another, we can solace each other.

Hear from other veterinary real estate owners about how Terravet worked with them to create custom real estate solutions.
Wheat Ridge, Colorado – Develop a New Facility Then Sell the Real Estate
Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital had operated out of a 12,000-square-foot facility for many years, but as the specialty hospital grew dramatically, it felt as though the building was bursting at the seams. The veterinary owners of the building and the hospital had great plans to expand to meet the demand for the level of care provided by their board-certified specialists, and the owners felt the practice was well-positioned to become the premier specialty and emergency veterinary hospital in Denver. However, the hospital leadership knew that the existing facility would not work for them. Wheat Ridge needed a state-of-the-art facility that could facilitate the anticipated growth.
The leadership team developed a detailed plan for the future – a state-of-the-art, 37,000-square-foot facility that represented the gold standard for specialty/emergency medicine. Handing the project over to a developer without the proper experience in the veterinary space could compromise their vision – and would be incredibly expensive as the development fees could grow to more than $1 million on a project of this scope.
Instead, the hospital leadership team decided to develop the project themselves while initiating conversations with Terravet. Terravet expressed interest in the property and provided an offer to buy the building from the ownership group within 60 days of receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. Through its relationship with Terravet, the leadership team was able to negotiate a fair long-term lease that ensured long-term control of the facility while maintaining some of the economics that would otherwise have gone to a developer. The veterinary real estate owners were able to develop the building they envisioned, with the knowledge that they had a committed buyer waiting to acquire the real estate.
Rockaway – Absentee Landlord
Terravet was approached by a husband-and-wife veterinarian team that had purchased a practice in New Jersey. The veterinarian from whom they had purchased the practice had retained the real estate and had begun to neglect the property. The deferred maintenance on the building had begun to infringe on the husband/wife practice owners' ability to recruit veterinarians and provide top-of-the-line service to their clients. The new owners approached Terravet about purchasing the real estate from their absentee landlord. Terravet was able to strike a deal with the landlord to purchase the property, and in exchange for the tenants' signing a new long-term lease, Terravet committed to putting $200,000 into the property for improvements. Since Terravet acquired the property, the tenants' top-line revenue has increased significantly, and the owners plan to add another veterinarian in the near future to further grow their business.
West Hartford – Simultaneous Practice Sale and Need for Expansion
The veterinarian owners of a large general practice/specialty emergency hospital had sold their practice to a corporate group while retaining the real estate. The hospital continued to grow after it converted to 24/7 emergency hours and succeeded in recruiting additional boarded specialists. The corporate owner of the hospital was intent on building for the future and dramatically increasing the building's footprint in order to ensure long-term growth. The veterinarian property owners were not interested in contributing the capital needed to finance the expansion of the building, and as a result the property owners and the corporate group turned to Terravet to purchase the property. Terravet was able to provide the owner with a strong offer due to the knowledge that they would be able to expand their investment in the subject property. As a result, the property owners received full value for their property, the tenant gained a development partner to facilitate future growth, and Terravet was able to deploy its capital to help expand a facility for a great operator with strong long-term growth potential.
Liverpool – Simultaneous Practice and Real Estate Sale
The veterinarian owner of a large general practice in upstate New York was ready to cut back, sell his practice and build the lake house of his dreams. None of the corporate groups that were a "fit" to acquire the practice wanted to also the buy the building. Terravet was approached by the practice owner and a corporate group about purchasing the building and leasing it back to the corporate group so that it could continue to house the veterinary practice. Terravet provided a competitive offer to purchase the real estate that enabled the owner to build his dream lake house and avoid the challenges of being a landlord. Terravet also committed to a "refresh" of the reception area as part of the transaction, investing approximately $100,000. The veterinarian real estate owner viewed the transaction as a "win/win" that enabled him to partner with the right corporate group for him, while both providing capital for a small renovation and providing him with enough liquidity to build his lake house.

Last Fortnight, in Singapore
February 26, 2012 in Travel
A pedestrian bridge across the Singapore River
Evening at 7:30, before the Orchard Central Mall on Orchard Road, people milled about on the sidewalks while above them birds came home to roost. They were returning to nine big and small trees before the mall, making noise as though they were filing in great hurry the day's report to one another, all at once. Their cries would rise to a single collective crescendo, and fall, and quickly rise again—on and on and on. Traffic moved with a matching sense of urgency on the famous street below, and on the sidewalks people wove in and out of pedestrian traffic, many in a great hurry, and a good number with no regard to time. I looked up to the branches because a white man was pointing them to his white companion, and I paused to gaze up too, at birds which drowned in the foliage soon as they flew into them. Seeing me, two young local women paused too, and then, like me, they stopped altogether and settled and watched. The number of returning birds was huge, yet the trees swallowed all of them into their foliage, revealing not one of the avians teeming in them. They couldn't conceal their sound, though, which in pitch and urgency was somehow unsettling, and in severe contrast with their sweet, hope-inducing, morning-cries.
That was on an evening during my ten-day visit to Singapore last fortnight, where I'd gone to attend the Air Show. It was a compact affair, with the exhibitors all in a single hall, and the hall facing the air-field with its display of airplanes. Compared with the Paris Air Show where I went last June, this one was tidier, the check in was every day quick, and it took less then twenty-minutes to get in a taxi in the evening, no matter how long the lines. Out at the air-field it was possible to see in comfort (yes, it was hot, but still) the combat planes showing off in the air, shooting straight up to meet the maker of man—the straight white smoke that they left behind the new Towers of Babel. Then, after a time, they reappeared, unscathed, in eerie free-falls. But my memory is of the C17, a portly airplane that seemed not to move at all, just hung about here and there in the air at all angles. The commentator spoke not of its use in war; he spoke of its role at the time of the inexplicable acts of God—how it rose to help man at the time of the Japanese tsunami, and then again and again during Indonesia's unceasing trials with nature. Huge, windowless except in front, a little more attractive than a toad, that is the C17 for me, and it is the aircraft that hangs in my mind even now, back home in Bangalore.
It took only a day to get used enough to the clean city, so much that a crushed empty cigarette pack on a lawn, a squeezed can of coke left behind on a public staircase, a bag of takeaway-leftovers not removed to a rubbish bin, outraged me. In Singapore? Walking early morning by the Singapore River, I was surprised to see on two tables in an alfresco bar by the promenade, two glasses on each table with wine still in them. A bottle of white stood on one of the tables, with some wine still in it. And an ice-bucket, shining and empty. Ah, I told myself: This is a story of four customers at two tables who continued to drink after the staff had shut down the place and gone home. With that thought I walked on, peacefully. The civic bosses are a little disturbed though. On a spot on the South bank of the river, a green board lists the top five items of litter, empty cigarette packs one among them, and exhorts Singaporeans to keep their city clean and green.
I pray for Singaporeans to always obey. The world must have a Singapore, to serve as a standard for the world's other cities. But when I surfed now on the web to look up again the top five types of litter in Singapore, I found Singaporeans complaining that tourists and foreign workers are to blame for it.

Minimum Wage Increase for Orange Employees
Orange officials next week are set to align the minimum hourly wage of 166 part-time and seasonal employees to meet state wage requirements. The minimum hourly pay rate, set to increase by Dec. 8 to $13, will cost the city an estimated $143,800 in its first year.
Currently, California's minimum hourly wage is $12 and will rise to $15 by Jan. 1, 2022. Orange will incrementally raise its minimum wage to the $15 mark over the next two years.
Engineering interns and lifeguards are a few of the part-time and seasonal employees affected by the minimum wage increase. As examples, the hourly wage for engineering interns will increase from $12.64 to $13.55, while a lifeguard's hourly wage will rise from $15.34 to $16.71. Orange will also raise supervisor wages to ensure that minimum wage earners and their supervisors are aligned and competitive.
The City Council will vote on the minimum wage resolutions during its regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 22. The body will meet at City Hall, 300 E. Chapman Ave.

March 13, 2018 – Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs have been hit particularly hard by the nation's drug epidemic in recent years. However, city officials are implementing innovative ways to expand drug treatment programs so individuals struggling with the disease of addiction can access help.
[T]he city of Philadelphia has implemented different initiatives to curb the extent of the damage caused by the opioid epidemic and stop the overall number of drug overdoses from growing.
The city has managed to assure most residents that they don't have to be put in waiting lists in order to be admitted into a detox program for substance use disorders or to receive any other type of drug addiction treatment.
The governor of the state of Pennsylvania recently stated that he is going to be "ending policies that delay access to treatment," especially when it comes to treatment for opioid use disorders.

This year I have written over 60 posts, this is post number 199 on #RedHeartBlueSign since October 2010.
Over the past 12 months I can say I am happy with each post, though some I have greater pride in writing. The five posts below represent what gave me the greatest pride. Each has its own beginning, that being, what was the motivation for me to write and post each of them. Thank you for taking the time today and throughout 2017 to read #RedHeartBlueSign.
The city of Ottawa had two big battles with its residents this year. The first was the relocation of the downtown/main branch of the Ottawa Public Library; the second was a proposal from the Salvation Army to vacate its Byward Market building for brand new building on Montreal Road in Vanier that would house almost all it services under one roof, include approximately 350 beds (some long term and some emergency shelter beds. The response from the community was SOS Vanier, a well coordinated effort of raising the community's opposition to a plan that goes opposite of the city plans. The big battle was strictly a fight between building use and land use – two very different concepts.
The healthcare system in Ontario and across Canada is at a crossroads. Also at a critical point is the population of Canadians as the Baby Boomer Generation retires and the Boomers' children and grandchildren are going to be relied upon to work and fund pension programs and healthcare needs for seniors. The point of the post was to emphasize the need for each generation to support the healthcare they need now, through fundraising, radio-thons and telethons and not necessarily the care that was used in the past. More and more provincial budgets will spend more on healthcare that all other departments combined. Hospitals and healthcare organizations count more on donations from the public to close the gaps left from reduced government funding.
The line between helping others and protecting property is a thin one and easily causes words and sometimes actions that have a ripple effect. At the heart of this post was the opinion that the City of Ottawa was not acting fast enough to help stop the opioid crisis and prevent needless deaths. What been approved was a safe injection site in Sandy Hill, but was not ready yet, so Opioid Prevention Ottawa (OPO) set up a tent without approval and permits in a neighbourhood park where children and families played – they refused to close up and not many in City Hall would force the closure including the Police who said they were waiting for the city to tell them to shut it down. I wanted to include the a bit about the illegal Pot Shops that are opening up ahead of the legalization of marijuana but if I had I would have had to leave too much out of the OPO story.
This post came about from big news on two fronts. First was that the Toronto Star and the National Post were 'flipping ownership on a large number of small local newspapers and few free daily papers (Metro and 24 hours). The other show dropped when 40+ of these papers were being told that they were closing, a few on the same day that the announcement was made. The largest of the local papers affected was the Barrie Examiner, which has been in operation longer than the British North America Act has been in force. All told I estimated that almost 840,000 Canadians lost a newspaper in one day. Since the day the presses stopped, many independent local papers have spoken loudly to reinforce the fact that local newspapers are still printing and distributing news.

The new look of a newscast?
CBC unveiled its new look of its flagship newscast, The National this week. While it is being broadcast as the main change in how the Canada's public TV network, but is one in a chain of changes that is meant to transform how Canadians view the news. It's goal, ensure that we have our eyes glued to the CBC.
In the "New" National it is a "deliberate decision" to have fewer longer pieces of news as one of the new four hosts, Andrew Chang tweeted to me.
Personally I am a quantity person when it comes to news. Through a workday I can't get to a newscast. I rely on social media to get the breaking stories of the day. The news I get, because of where I work is nearly all political, other news is not something I would catch. If something breaks I then tune to a news channel on TV to catch the story.
The CBC made some subtle changes (subtle in the grand scheme) to their news line up recently, but since the launch of the revamped National it has all come to me. The subtle changes were all part of the big plan. The CBC has worked to make it the place we will end up for financial news, political news, world news and breaking news – at the end of the day the source for the breakdown of the 5 or 6 major stories. They are counting on us getting our news in drabs through a day and then wanting to go deep behind the headlines.
On the second night of the new National, I watched at 9pm and then went to CTV National News at 10. The differences were expected and very noticeable and that is what the CBC was going for. Gone from the CBC are the traditional 10 stories in 22 minutes. No more top stories with 90 seconds to give you enough information to want to hear more. You'll get the in-depth story from the very start of the broadcast.
As mentioned, this is one of several changes. First was the move of "On the Money" from 7pm to 4pm. I tweeted about the move, host Peter Armstrong replied that the show would be available in its entirety on the Facebook page, encouraging me to watch there, "whenever I was free to do so". The second change replaced the Vancouver based early evening news, previously hosted by Ian Hanomansing, show from 8pm to 11pm with the standard host/presenter of CBC New Network. Carol MacNeil now hosts a 2 hour block from 7pm to 9pm.
Finally the new National is dropped into its place in the schedule. New for the National will be the flexibility of having live updates inserted into the taped broadcast. It will be like having breaking news and the previously recorded news all in one – seamless and not noticeable to those tuning in.
What I get from this is that the CBC is expecting its viewers to get their 'bits of news' from new sources like Twitter, Facebook, Huffington Post and Buzzfeed (among others) while some old guard news watchers may have listened to the radio or had the TV on in the background for news.
It seems that the CBC wants to flip how the news is delivered. You might recall not too long ago when the internet was where you went to read/view the in-depth reporting and TV gave you the headlines and maybe a little bit more. Has the CBC been surveying how Canadians are receiving news and current events? Now they want you to go in deep on TV and only scratch the surface on the Internet. The CBC wants users of Facebook and Twitter as their news source to consider the National as a one hour fix for the deep coverage of top seven stories of the day.
I see the value of their theory, I understand the theory, I get the concept. I get it. Will other Canadians? Will Canadians have the energy for the attention at the end of long day needed for the one hour of the National whether it will be through the Cable/Satellite/Fibre TV provider or online? The CBC is counting on two things, one, that current viewers of the National will accept the challenge and two new viewers will flock to the challenge of fewer and longer reports.
Success will not be in only what the traditional TV ratings will reveal, but what traffic has gone to CBC's online presence (website, Facebook etc.) Has the CBC driven people to watch where ever they might be?
The concept will grow on me. What will pull me away will be the longer world news stories. While I know what is happening in Syria and the Middle East is important to the world it is not enough to me to watch 7-9 minutes and wait for the next story.
The editors, directors and hosts will have to balance Canadian news watchers needs of Canadian, American, World and Financial news. Too much of one of the others and not enough Canadian could be what moves people to another channel for news in their country.
This first week will not reflect what the National will be like in 6 months, by the second or third week we're told we'll see the hosts out of the studio and in the field and gathering news. Then we'll see how the new National will deliver on the "New" in the new National.

There is something to be said for walking away from something you enjoy. Not like Trudeau v1.0 and his walk through the snow on the second last day of February in 1984 (it was a leap year). I took a walk in my mind and made the decision on Friday to not post on social media for the weekend. It was surprisingly easy, but I was tempted. We had a great weekend, I didn't post on Twitter or Facebook at all about a Saturday at Lake Opinicon and the great music we heard. However as difficult I thought it might be that day, it was quite easy and I focused on the music, the food, the beautiful surroundings in and around Chaffey's Lock and the company of Liz, who posted a few photos on Facebook and Twitter.
I took a virtual walk in the snow after what I thought was a tough weak in social media. To those that say that I should have known what I was getting into because of the two topics I was posting about – it was the overall tone of the discussions of the day that took a toll, not so much what people what commented on after I posted. I think that many would agree that in Ottawa it was a perfect social media storm when the debates over the Ottawa Pride parade requesting the Ottawa Police not wear their uniforms in the parade collided with the Omar Khadr settlement rumours and then the government announcement.
The tone of the two conversations clashed and I burned out.
In the ashes was a weekend of feeling free, no pressure, no need to make a comment – only to read and see what other people say. It turned out to be an opportunity to see how others react, comment and rationalize on the two issues. Having eyes and not allowing your voice to be heard does permit for thought. There was no "I have to comment right away or else it's old news" to worry about. I also saw that extreme comments and tweets were emotion over logic. The Khadr affair is clearly the best example of this – it should be, and I hope someone picks up on this, a separate lesson in the teaching plan of anyone that instructs students in the use and influence of social media. I see this being the pinnacle of a debate on the usefulness or the drudgery of Facebook and Twitter.
What lies ahead is still unknown, what I thought was going to be a weekend in virtual hiding was a weekend awakening and the thought provoking self-analysis of my own way I use my social media feeds. It have been 'tempted' to post on Instagram since Friday, but I had to be true to my self-declared sabbatical. I haven't posted today (Monday) and haven't had the burning desire to do so.
As a confession, I did post on my #RedHeartBlueLife blog (see link below) Sunday night but that's it. I'll post this blog – but I don't see how this is the same as posting on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. My plan is to stick with it, the sabbatical, for the rest of this week.
I have vacation planned in Thunder Bay next week and then I'll be travelling for work the week after in Western Canada. Those two weeks seem like they most certainly will be 'Instagramable' opportunities for me, lord knows I will want to be sharing it all. Maybe it will be baby steps, but for now it's okay, I'm okay and I am okay with not being slayed by people who don't know me because I have (in my mind) a logical opposing point of view.

The Nature of the Beast: Fossil Fuel Corporations, the Cornwall Alliance, and Climate Change Denial | Righting America
The Nature of the Beast: Fossil Fuel Corporations, the Cornwall Alliance, and Climate Change Denial
Feb 4, 2020 | Capitalism, Christian Right, Climate Change, Corwall Alliance, Culture War, E. Calvin Beisner, Economics of Climate Change, Evangelicals, Koch Family, Politics, Scott Howland, The James Partnership, Thomas Piketty | 1 comment
by Scott Howland
Scott Howland is a doctoral student at the University of Dayton in the Department of Religious Studies. Scott earned his BA in Psychology from Holy Cross College in South Bend, IN, and his MA in Theological Studies from the University of Dayton. His work focuses on the history of American Christianity's engagement with the issue of climate change over the course of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His work takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing heavily from the fields of dialectical materialism, twentieth century French psychoanalysis, and the study of radical emancipatory politics.
Portrait of Charles Koch by Gavin Peters (2019) via Wikimedia Commons
In his internationally renowned work, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty posits that extreme economic inequality can only be sustained—that is, without being answered by reform or revolution—if there are in place "apparatuses of justification." He states,
if inequalities are seen as justified, say because they seem to be a consequence of a choice by the rich to work harder or more efficiently than the poor, or because preventing the rich from earning more would inevitably harm the worst-off members of society, then it is perfectly possible for the concentration of income to set new historical records. (263-264)
The existence of such "apparatuses" can hardly be disputed; the notion that wealth rightly belongs to those who possess it, no matter the means by which they acquired it or the needs of others around the world, is certainly well within the mainstream of contemporary thought, especially in North America and Europe. Ideas such as this did not, however, permeate contemporary culture on their own. They are derived, developed, and distributed by corporations, government offices, "independent" think-tanks, etc.
In order to support their primary goal of sustained economic inequality, these apparatuses must extend their reach into other areas of socioeconomic and political thought. Today, one of the most pressing issues into which these apparatuses have thrust their talons is the climate crisis that now threatens nearly every aspect of life on Earth.
See, for example, the Cornwall Alliance, which has its origins in the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance (ISA), which emerged on the scene in 2005, after Rick Warren and other prominent evangelical figures had come out in support of efforts to combat anthropogenic climate change. In response, the ISA "was launched to oppose action on carbon emissions and to deny the existence of climate change." One of the primary founders of the ISA was Paul Driessen, who has worked as a consultant for ExxonMobil, mining corporations, and the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). In 2006, the ISA was relaunched as the Cornwall Alliance, and "with the new name came a redesigned website, highly produced web videos, and an organized network of churches to distribute climate change denying propaganda to hundreds of pastors around the country."
The public face of the Cornwall Alliance is filled by E. Calvin Beisner. Beisner holds a B.A. in interdisciplinary studies in religion and philosophy, an M.A. in economic ethics, and a Ph.D. in Scottish History. In addition to being the founder and national spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance, Beisner is also "a policy advisor at the Heartland Institute, an adjunct fellow at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty; an adjunct scholar of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow; [and] a fellow of the Institute on Religion and Democracy." Prior to his position with the Cornwall Alliance, Beisner was an "associate professor of historical theology and social ethics at Knox Theological Seminary… Before Knox he taught for eight years at Covenant College as associate professor of interdisciplinary studies in economics, government, and public policy." In his role at the Cornwall Alliance, Beisner has
written [12] books, edited over 30, contributed to over 35, and published thousands of articles, popular and scholarly, has lectured at universities, seminaries, conferences, and churches in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and testified as an expert witness on the ethics and economics of climate change and climate and energy policy before committees of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, briefed the White House Council on Environmental Policy, and presented a paper to a scholarly colloquium on climate change of the Pontifical Institute for Justice and Peace at the Vatican in Rome.
In 2014 the Heritage Foundation honored Dr. Beisner with the Outstanding Spokesman for Faith, Change, and Stewardship Award at the Ninth International Conference on Climate Change.
The Cornwall Alliance takes great efforts to keep its funding sources a secret; their website is even registered with a service that makes its source information invisible to users. While there are no records that directly cite the funding sources for the Cornwall Alliance, investigations have revealed the complex network through which they receive their funding. In order to understand the flow of money through this network, one must start with the Cornwall Alliance's parent organization, The James Partnership. The James Partnership, The Cornwall Alliance, and "Resisting the Green Dragon" (the primary project of the Cornwall Alliance), are all registered to the same address in a business park in Virginia, just outside of Washington D.C.
Tax records show that the James Partnership has received much of its funding from an organization called the Donors Trust. The Donors Trust "is a not-for-profit company that distributes millions of dollars in grants each year to groups, organizations and projects that are 'dedicated to the ideals of limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise,'" many of which are committed to denying anthropogenic climate change and "the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions." It has been described as "the dark-money ATM of the right." Donors Trust operates differently than normal "family foundations" and other similar charitable organizations. Donors Trust is a "donor-advised fund," which means that "the people who donate to Donors Trust don't get final say over how their money is spent. But they get to recommend where their cash goes, and in exchange for giving up some control, they get a bigger tax write-off than they would with a family foundation." The basic sales pitch used by Donors Trust goes something like this:
Rich folks can give to Donors Trust and rest easy knowing that their millions will continue bankrolling the conservative movement long into the future, even after their death. They don't have to worry that, after they die, their heirs and trustees will use their bucks for causes they would never support . . . Donors Trust promises its funders that conservative money stays with conservatives.
Donors Trust has drastically increased the amount of money it has taken in over the last several years: "in 2003, grants to DT totaled just $1.03 million. Between 2012 and 2013, contributions and grants to DT went up from $45.9 million to $103.4 million." While many of the contributors to Donors Trust choose to stay anonymous, it has been reported that the largest regular contributions have come from Donors Capital Trust (DCT) and the Knowledge and Progress Fund (KPF). DCT is Donors Trust's sister organization, and operates within the same ideological framework; DCT contributed $57,799,525 to Donors Trust between 2001 and 2017. Then there is KPF, which is a Koch Family Foundation (Koch Industries of course is America's largest privately-owned energy company). Between 2001 and 2017 KPF donated $17,320,000 to Donors Trust, while also giving 5,450,000 to DCT.
Then there is the Donors Capital Fund (DCF), which "distributed some $170 million to conservative causes, many of which deny the science and impacts of human-caused climate change or the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions" in the years between 2002 and 2013. Similar to Donors Trust, most of " DCF's income comes from unknown private entities with some $347 million of untraceable and unknown income since 2005." An important side note: one of the "key recipients" of DCF is the Heartland Institute, which is the organization that helped bring into being the ISA (and thus the Cornwall Alliance), and which is one of the organizations for whom Beisner serves as a "policy advisor." Heartland has received a total of 17 million dollars from DCF.
Let's summarize. The Donors Trust has raised hundreds of millions of dollars – from folks like the Kochs – to fund organizations that deny human-caused climate change and that seek to prevent government action to address climate change. One of these entities is the James Partnership, the parent organization of the Cornwall Alliance, which is devoted to spreading climate-change-denial propaganda to evangelical pastors and churches.
And how much money has the James Partnership received from Donors Trust? The James Partnership received $1,309,000 from Donors Trust between 2009 and 2015—ninety-nine percent of its total funding during that time. These numerous funding connections to the fossil fuel industry and its efforts to shape the discourse on environmental issues are more than sufficient evidence to support the claim that the Cornwall Alliance acts as an apparatus of justification for climate change denialism and thus the perpetuation of the capitalist system that continues to accelerate the present climate crisis.
But the Cornwall Alliance has additional connections that further bolster this claim. Let's go back to the Cornwall Alliance's relationship with CFACT. CFACT is run by Philip Rothbard, and has as its purpose the proliferation of free-market economics and limited government, and is a big supporter of efforts to fuel climate change denialism. It has been found that CFACT is directly funded by the fossil fuel industry. The five largest financial donors to have given money to CFACT are: Donors Trust ($7,855,387), The Carthage Foundation ($1,565,000), the Sarah Scaife Foundation ($1,495,000), Exxon Mobil ($582,000), and Donors Capital Fund ($395,000). While the Cornwall Alliance claims to have no ties to CFACT, it turns out that Calvin Beisner serves as a CFACT board member, and the two groups share a common fundraising firm.
It is clear, after the analysis presented above, that the Cornwall Alliance, with its direct links to the fossil fuel industry, right wing think tanks, and conservative billionaires, is a textbook example an apparatus of justification. While Cornwall targets American Evangelicals with its relentless propaganda, it serves not the best interests of American Evangelicals but, instead, the financial and political gain of the one percent. That is to say, the Cornwall Alliance operates in service of the ruling class, with the intention of, as George Monbiot puts it, "allowing the rich to seize much of our common wealth, to trample to the rights of workers and to treat the planet as their dustbin." (1)
Editor's Note: In April Answers in Genesis is sponsoring a "Climate Change" conference at Ark Encounter, one purpose of which is to counter the "climate despair paralyzing the younger generations or the alarmism of the media and many scientists." It is not surprising that the Cornwall Alliance's Calvin Beisner will be one of the featured speakers. Apparatus of justification, indeed.

BUDGET: Member for Frome, Geoff Brock shared his thoughts on the 2018 state budget.
The 2018 State Liberal budget has received mixed reactions from the Member for Frome, Geoff Brock.
Mr Brock had spoken to the Premier Steven Marshall and Treasurer Rob Lucas prior to the announcements made last Tuesday and was satisfied that all election promises affecting Frome were being kept.
He was pleased to see that the concession of the emergency services levy had been reintroduced, that over 20,800 apprenticeships and traineeships will be subsidised- hopeful that they will assist the Spencer Gulf and that several announcements regarding Clare had been made. He made note that the Port Pirie Regional Hospital did not receive any funding and he believes that the renal unit is in great need of additional resources.
"The renal units at the hospital need to be increase because they are working six days a week of my understanding and I fought to get those units there in the first place", Mr Brock said.
Mr Brock did welcome the $12 million over four years that is said to deliver additional chemotherapy services in regional areas.
Yet the announcement of a rise in rent for those in housing trusts angered Mr Brock.
The Horrocks Highway missed out on any additional funding and Mr Brock spoke personally to the Premier after the budget who simply stated that they can not announce everything straight away.


Who is NOT familiar with this brand? Raise your hand . . . Hmmm. I don't see many hands up, probably because for a long time, the Martha Stewart Everyday brand was ubiquitous. You couldn't open a magazine or a newspaper without seeing this logo, which completely ruined those words and their usage for millions of writers.
Why? Because of the word everyday. My best guess is that Martha Stewart and her ad agency were trying to make sure we didn't see her wares as only for the rich and famous; they were also for the rest of us, the commoners, the hoi polloi. Do I know that for sure? Nope. Martha and I are not — and have never been — on talking terms. Pity, that.
It appeared to me that the brand was more important than grammar, at least in that logo. And I know a lot of writers (you?) figured it MUST be right if it was in her logo. Right?
So, what's wrong with using everyday in that logo? Everything.
Everyday does not mean each day; it means ordinary, commonplace, common. It's the opposite of special.
It's an adjective, and in English adjectives come before the noun they're describing.
Every day, which is a two-word adverbial phrase, means each day (also a two-word adverbial phrase). Grammatically, it would have been the correct choice for Martha's logo; in terms of branding, maybe not.
So, here are a few examples of using each term — everyday and every day — correctly.
I use my good pots and pans every day.
We go to work every day.
I try to get to the gym every day.
I wake up every day at 6 a.m.
I have an everyday set of pots and pans.
Going to work is an everyday event for most of us.
The job's everyday routine is easy to learn.
I'm not much of a cook; I use everyday recipes for my family every day.
If you wouldn't write everymonth or everyweek or everyhour, you can't use everyday. If you mean each day, then you may use every day.


A girlfriend came to visit us on Shelter Island this summer and she has a dairy allergy. I enjoy making ice cream in the summer, but knew she couldn't have any, so I searched for some kind of frozen treat that she could eat.
This is a perfect Thai-inspired weeknight meal. The preparation is quick and the result is delicious. I love almost anything with coconut milk and cilantro, such a great combination. I served this over brown rice which sopped up the sauce nicely. My husband loved this. Boys wouldn't go near it.
I thought this soup was delicious! It's very rich, and I served one batch as an appetizer for four people. We each got a small serving, but it was a perfect size for an appetizer. I could have easily eaten more, but I served a main course as well.

Wan Maimun, Wan Abdullah (2010) Critical factors in project success: a study of public sector construction projects in Malaysia / Wan Maimun Wan Abdullah. PhD thesis, University of Malay.
The importance of the construction industry to nation building necessitates that project implemented achieves project success. However, studies and evidence have shown that there is a low probability in consistently achieving project success. Nevertheless, it seems that the definition of project success and how to achieve project success is quite illusive. For more than a century, researchers have been grappling with its definition but the concept remained ambiguous. From the early identification of time, cost and quality as elements of project success, researchers have added many other outcomes and objectives including stakeholders, project manager, communication, leadership, project management, organization structure, resources, contract and more. Later refinements separate these elements into success criteria and success factors. This research focuses on the success criteria of time, cost quality and stakeholders' appreciation and success factor groups of human management, process, organization, and contract and technical. The main aim of this research is to develop the components of project success and to identify the critical success factors. Other objectives are to find significant success criteria and to correlate these elements of project success. In addition the research statement emphasizes that human management is critical in the construction industry to ensure project success. The study adopts quantitative survey method and conducts a preliminary study and field survey using structured questionnaires. Data are analysed by quantitative techniques namely descriptive statistics, factors analysis and Pearson correlation. The findings of the study reveal that the ranking of success criteria in order of importance are 'Stakeholders' appreciation','Quality', 'Time' and 'Cost'. But most importantly the study identifies 'Human management' as the critical success factor group to achieve these success criteria. The subsequent ranking of the other success factor groups are 'Process', 'Contract and technical' and 'Organization'. Consequently, this study defines project success as achieving the success criteria of stakeholder's appreciation, completion as specified quality, within time and cost through the success factors of human management, process, contract and technical, and organization. The contribution of this study is to stamp the importance of human management in the construction industry. This awareness will be imperative to three main groups namely the stakeholders to give emphasis on human management in project implementation, the Construction Industry Development Board to review the project management training module, and the Institutions of Higher Learning to review project management programs giving emphasis concerning human management subjects.

SEOUL, South Korea – It is cold, damp and overcast with two hours to go until push off. Soldiers take the time to eat lunch while they wait to have their feet checked by the medic. A K-tap and moleskin configuration is applied to every foot, preparing them for the final 40 miles of a 250 mile road march.
Twelve days earlier, 10 U.S. Service members from 19th Special Forces Group began the foot march alongside their partners from the 7th Republic of Korea, Special Forces Brigade. The trek has been conducted on and off over the past thirty years by Republic of Korea Special Forces units. Unlike any other training event it was developed to increase the capabilities and push the limits of the ROKSF.
This was the first time that U.S. Soldiers participated in trek alongside their ROKSF counterparts. For Lt. Col. Jay Kim, commander of 32nd ROKSF Battalion, it allowed a deep bond between the U.S. and ROK to be forged.
The trek took the 180 participants over mountainous terrain, from Mungyeong to Iksan, home of 7th Republic of Korea, Special Forces Brigade.
Bills had six months of Korean language training which makes him the only member of the team able to communicate without the need of an interpreter.
The 12 day trek took place mostly at night with multiple check points along the route allowing medics to tend to feet and giving participants time for a brief rest. Initially, Staff Sgt. James McMillan, of Dallas, Texas would use this time to check the route ahead but after a week he stopped.
He says its mental toughness that gets you thru. And that is something both the U.S and ROK have in common.
For the past six months the team of U.S. Soldiers has been training and working side by side with their ROK counterparts. The trek was planned solely for the ROK and was not mandatory for the American Soldiers. Staff. Sgt. Colton Hill was not going to let his Korean brethren face the challenge alone.
Being the example and caring are the core fundamentals of a strong Alliance.

Generational curses are as real as generational blessings. Some children are born into great wealth and never have to lift a finger in their life if they don't want to. In the same way, some are born into extreme poverty and have to fight just to eat at least one meal per day.
If you recognize a pattern in your family that does not bring about blessings but rather curses, you need to understand that Jesus took every curse on himself when He hung on that tree.
You need to believe that you are blessed because of His inheritance.
If you find yourself falling into the same curses as your forefathers, fight it, Christ has made you new, you don't need to be like them, walk in your heavenly father's inheritance that was purchased for you on Calvary.
Who's blood do you think is stronger?
Your earthly parents or the Son of God? Jesus' blood makes you free from sin, righteous, holy, healed, sanctified. These are the traits you've inherited from your Daddy. Its your choice really, which inheritance you choice to claim.

# API Umbrella Dashboard
The APInf platform offers a comprehensive tool for API management. Building on [API Umbrella](http://nrel.github.io/api-umbrella/), it provides enhanced user interface features for API managers and consumers alike.

For API consumers APInf provides simple key management, key usage analytics and API discovery along with API documentation. Managers have simplified workflow for common tasks, such as key management, rate limiting and viewing API usage analytics.
