The entrance is just off the former lobby of the Des Moines Register & Tribune building. The big revolving globe is gone, but a row of armoires lines the far wall, filled with bottles of spirits. Rhythm and blues music from the 50s and 60s plays in a room that's made to look and feel as comfortable as a living room of a bygone era.
A late-1950s Wurlitzer spinet piano rests beneath the painting of a fashionable lady in a white, sleeveless dress. She's smiling and enjoying a sloe gin cocktail with a cigarette in a space that was created just for her.
That's Marjorie. And she seems to be enjoying herself.
Hello, Marjorie is the newest nightlife nook to take its place among the downtown Des Moines cocktail scene. It's the concept of Nick Tillinghast, 28, and Kyle McClain, 28, who created DMDT Hospitality & Lifestyle in February 2016. Ryan Hutchison, 36, also came on as a partner to help bring the venture to life.

Tillinghast's childhood memories of his sociable and stylish grandmother, Marjorie Anderson, are behind the Hello, Marjorie concept. Marjorie was known for enjoying her sloe gin cocktails and the occasional social cigarette. "I remember going to Latimer to see her and people would greet her wherever she went," Tillinghast said. "Latimer was a very tight-knit community and it was rare for us not to walk into a room and for people to say, 'Hello, Marjorie,' or 'Hi, Marge.'"
After Marjorie's husband, Harry, passed away from a sudden heart attack in 1965, she placed all her attention and devotion on raising her three daughters. And she never remarried because Harry was the love of her life. "This concept is capturing her when she was in her heyday," Tillinghast said. "I wanted to capture when she was at her best."
Hello, Libations
The partners hired mixologist Zacharia Avila, 31, to manage the spacious 134-seat bar and lounge and to be the creative mind behind the cocktails. Born and raised in Apple Valley, Calif., he's been hard at work getting things up and running, commuting from Mason City every weekend. After Tillinghast sent Avila an email explaining the concept, Avila wanted to help Tillinghast capture Marjorie's personality through the art of the cocktail.

"I was impressed by the little story of Marjorie and had a couple of ideas right off the bat that I wanted to explore," Avila said. "I started to see cocktails forming in my head as far as what I would serve in that vision." Avila set in motion his creative plan for the cocktail list, with Marjorie as the focus, but with nods to the building's previous residents.
The first cocktail he thought up was the Editor's Note, a mix of American Prairie Bourbon, apricot liqueur, smoked apple bitters and simple syrup. It's mixed and poured over a big ice cube sphere and garnished with dried apricot and sliced apple. Avila recommends nibbling on the apple after each sip to enhance this whiskey-forward drink. Avila makes his own bitters using a secret process, and there are seven different kinds of traditional and obscure bitters available for his repertoire. "It depends on the cocktail and the flavor profile," Avila said.
The Register & Tribune is a shaken mixture of Glenmorangie 10-year scotch, Plymouth sloe gin, lemon juice, fine sugar and house bitters. The cocktail is strained into an absinthe-laced retro coupe glass. This cocktail is lightly sweet and oaky with just a hint of licorice from the absinthe. And the house bitters add a touch of pecan flavor.

But the cocktail that Marjorie would've had is called, aptly, The Marjorie. "I wanted to find Marjorie's counterpart," Avila said. Plymouth sloe gin is shaken with Absolut pear vodka, fresh lemon and raspberry bitters for zing, and strained. It's served straight up with a sprig of rosemary that adds a nice, herbaceous nose to the drink. The rosemary was Tillinghast's idea.
Avila made sure to touch base with different kinds of cocktail drinkers by using a variety of spirits including vodka, gin, bourbon, scotch, sloe gin, rum, rye whiskey, mescal, and cognac. But the largest scope of the cocktail menu is freshness. "I love using things that have just been cut, just been sliced, just been juiced, just been made," Avila said. "It makes everything ten times better."
There's even a classic stinger on the menu, made from Hennessy VS with Fernet Branca Menta, a dry crème de menthe. It's served in a Nick & Nora cocktail glass, another classic vessel that's making a comeback.
Hello, Marjorie also has eight local beers on tap that will change throughout the year. And speaking of taps, the bar has Templeton 6 on tap. That's right: It has whiskey on tap. "This is unique in the country," Tillinghast said. "No one else is doing it." Storypoint Vineyards Chardonnay and Carletto Prosecco Sparkling Wine are on tap as well.
Bottled beers range widely with a mix of local, domestic and imports including West O CocO Stout from West O Beer in Okoboji, Bell's Two Hearted Ale from Michigan and St. Bernardus from Belgium. The wine list is by the glass or bottle. It's modest, but it has most categories covered.
The drink menu will change in the next few months, rotating with the seasons. But with the wants and needs of its customers will take precedence. "We want the guests to dictate how we move forward." Large parties can reserve space for 10-12 people in its dining room or living room areas, and the entire space can also be rented.

Hello, Des Moines
The décor of the space was designed with the help of Tony Rose, creative designer at both Siteworx Design + Build and Function House Hospitality Group. For more than ten Sundays in a row, the partners would jump into a van with Rose and travel around the Midwest looking for pieces to use in the bar, including Chicago and St. Louis. "Tony even went all the way to Atlanta (himself) for some things," Tillinghast said.
A deep green leather banquette runs the length of the plate glass windows while an assortment of old retro lampshades hangs from the slate-grey ceiling. "The prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines," reads a pink neon sign by the door, a quote from Jack Kerouac. Gold drapery, honey-colored wood paneling and high-top bistro tables with swiveling leather chairs line the walls.
Some pieces came locally. West End Salvage provided the fireplaces. Other pieces came from Gladys and Betty's Parlour; Funky Finds Vintage and Retro, and Modville – The Porch Junkies in Adel. "They all bought into what we were doing," Tillinghast said. "If they didn't have it right on the spot, they were able to get it for us." There's even pink waiting room furniture from a doctor's office in Miami that's set up for socializing. And hanging on the wall is the painting of Marjorie herself, painted by Kelly Kunzler of Kunzler Studios in Des Moines.
Tillinghast and his partners couldn't be happier with the location of their new bar. "I love the history of Des Moines and specifically the Locust, Grand and Walnut area," Tillinghast said. "You have all these nooks and neighborhoods, and with all these apartments popping up, it'd be great to get some nightlife back into the middle of the city." And with the 164 R&T Lofts apartments nearing completion in the same building, residents will have a convenient place to hang out and unwind.

A grass-fed organic dairy farm stays viable just outside the Twin Cities
By Katie Pinke / Agweek Publisher on Mar 8, 2019 at 5:30 a.m.
Twenty minutes south of Minneapolis-St. Paul, tucked into what is now the sprawling suburbs, is a family farm, Zweber Farms of Elko, Minn.
"The farm has been here since 1906 but actually the Zwebers have been farming in this area for over eight generations. We are currently grass-fed, organic. Today we have not only our dairy farm, which is about 60 percent of our operation. But we also have a grass-fed beef operation. We have a natural pork operation. We also do pasture chickens and free-range laying hens," Emily Zweber said to me when I recently visited with AgweekTV colleague Trevor Peterson.
You may have never thought of how a family farm stays viable in the midst of urban sprawl.
Emily shared, "For us it's really been about how do we stay and farm in the area that we're in, being so surrounded by the urban development? For example, because of where we are, we're not zoned agriculture anymore. And so that puts a lot of limits on how we can expand our operation or change our operation. For example, buildings. And so we're not allowed to put on big agriculture structures to grow our operation. So we really have to think outside the box."
The Zwebers may look different than your farm or farmers you know. I admire farmers willing to step out and change what they're doing in order to stay viable today and for their future. What does innovation look like on the Zweber farm in the midst of our long winter?
"For example, out-wintering our cows in the wintertime where they have that choice of being out on pasture, in a sheltered area with windbreaks or trees, but also having the opportunity to come inside too." Emily said.
You might see beef cattle outside in the winter with windbreaks, but most often dairy cows are inside barns.
With out-wintering dairy cows, Emily said, "You know, there's lots of different methods. Some have no buildings at all and just windbreaks. Some put them in woods."
I wondered what people think when they see dairy cows outside in the heart of a tough winter. Emily reassured me that no matter what people think, the cows don't mind.
"You gotta understand that a cow is a ruminant. Their body temperature, just standing still, is 101 degrees. Plus they are ruminating at that same time and so that's producing a lot of heat. On a bright sunny day like today, it's hovering around, what 5 degrees, and they're all standing outside. They're just fine. As long as we can protect them from the wind, they actually choose to be outside versus that choice to be inside. There's a lot of health benefits in that and we just see that in our cows. They're healthy."
In the midst of tough times, Emily shared encouragement for dairy farmers possibly struggling in the current down ag economy.
"I think I'd really encourage them to just start thinking outside the box. It doesn't always have to be the way it's always been. And with the dairy industry, the fluid milk is not what's selling. What's selling right now is the cheese and the yogurt, and so really paying attention to that. ... Something we're doing on our farm is breeding for higher components, higher fats and the proteins, because that's where we're being incentivized."
Agriculture does not and should not look the same. There is room and need for all types of farms and farmers finding new ways to keep their farms profitable and grow for the future. Visiting with Emily reminded me of that, and I am grateful to have friends in agriculture like her to teach me about new ways to approach farming. Out-winter dairy cows? I learned something new from a grass-fed organic dairy farm family who is also raising and selling pork, beef, chicken and eggs to sell directly to consumers of Minneapolis-St. Paul to stay viable for the future.

Sold into extinction: great apes betrayed by protectors
Commentary by Daniel Stiles on 9 July 2014
In what appears to be corruption in high places, the international body charged with protecting endangered species has turned a blind eye to massive illegal trade of endangered Great Apes. This was my distinct impression on reading the Great Apes report prepared by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) Secretariat for the 65th CITES Standing Committee meeting, which will take place in Geneva in early July this year.
CITES is charged with regulating trade of live wild animals and plants, or their derivative products, in order to protect them from overexploitation. Too much trade could threaten certain species with extinction, which occurred recently with the West African black rhino, shot into oblivion for illegal trade in its horn.
Approximately 22,200 great apes were lost in trafficking related incidents. The report estimates that every year approximately 5% of the total great ape population on Earth is lost due to trafficking. CITES aims to keep endangered great apes in the wild. Photo courtesy of Karl Ammann
The Standing Committee is an important body in the functioning of CITES. It "… provides policy guidance to the Secretariat concerning the implementation of the Convention and oversees the management of the Secretariat's budget. Beyond these key roles, it coordinates and oversees … the work of other committees and working groups; carries out tasks given to it by the Conference of the Parties; and drafts resolutions for consideration by the Conference of the Parties."
The Standing Committee also initiates action to suspend trade as a sanction against Parties (i.e. countries) that egregiously break the rules.
Great apes – chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans – are listed in Appendix I of CITES precisely because they are threatened with extinction. CITES does not allow them to be traded commercially, and any export for other purposes (e.g. scientific research, education, etc.) is strictly controlled.
Ape traffickers only want the young, as they are easy to handle and can be trained. Photo courtesy of Karl Ammann.
If CITES were to take any action on the illegal trafficking of great apes, it would start here in this meeting. Yet, the Secretariat's report said this: "The Secretariat participated in a panel discussion on illegal trade in great apes at the [Jackson Hole] summit, and highlighted the fact that although there is some illegal trade in great apes, data from official sources suggest that the illegal international trade in great ape specimens is currently limited." Further in the report the Secretariat stated that "…there is very little illegal international trade in great ape specimens".
The key words in this statement are "data from official sources," which apparently consist of its own Trade Database and reports compiled by INTERPOL and the World Customs Union. "Official sources" seemingly do not include its sister organization within the UN Environment Programme, Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP) Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP), which is charged with great ape conservation. At the last CITES Conference of the Parties, held in Bangkok in March 2013, GRASP released a report entitled Stolen Apes. This report found that between 2005 and 2011, approximately 22,200 great apes were lost in trafficking related incidents. The report estimates that every year approximately 5% of the total great ape population on Earth is lost due to trafficking. Is that really "limited" and "very little"?
The situation has not improved since then. In June this year GRASP released a press statement asserting that "The illegal trade in live chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos and orangutans showed no signs of diminishing – and may actually be getting worse."
How could the CITES Secretariat discount this?
Investigations carried out by Karl Ammann and associates have uncovered and documented several great ape trafficking networks that span many countries in Africa, the Middle East, Russia, and East Asia. Most of the great ape trafficking involves corrupt national CITES officials in Africa selling fraudulent CITES export permits to traffickers, with colluding or inept national CITES officials at the importing end.
Karl and collaborating undercover investigators posing as wildlife traffickers have visited several countries in Africa, East Asia and Central Asia. Using hidden video cameras, they have recorded conversations detailing how great apes are captured, marketed and sold. Karl has national CITES officers on camera admitting to fraud, and posing online as an Indonesian wildlife dealer, he has obtained fraudulent CITES export permits.
Great apes are in huge demand to act as performers in amusement and safari parks, to attract customers to private commercial zoos, and to enhance the prestige of business potentates in private menageries. The key import countries are located in East Asia, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union.

It appears that the CITES Secretariat is trying to sweep the real extent of great ape trafficking under the carpet in order to avoid the arduous and costly action that would be necessary to clean up the corrupt practices of the various national CITES Management Authority offices.
The biggest headache would be the China office. I worked closely with Karl Ammann over the past two years to unravel the complex evidence trail contained in various CITES reports, the CITES Trade Database, and email communications with both the CITES Secretariat and the China CITES office. We concluded that China was knowingly complicit in attempting to use fraudulent CITES export permits from Guinea to illegally import well over one hundred chimpanzees and ten gorillas since 2007. Thanks in large part to Ammann's efforts, CITES hit Guinea with a suspension of trade sanction in 2013. No action was carried out against China, however. This is comparable to prosecuting the illegal arms dealer while letting the arms buyer go free.
In spite of Guinea being sanctioned, Ammann has gathered evidence that Guinea wildlife traffickers continue to advertise Appendix I species for sale – including great apes – with CITES export permits, and China continues to import great apes.
There are 32 Party members of the Standing Committee. Will at least one challenge the Secretariat's biased and self-serving report to initiate serious action to stop the illegal great ape trade?
Oil, wildlife, and people: competing visions of development collide in Virunga National Park
(07/07/2014) What does SOCO's withdrawal really mean for the future of Virunga National Park? – Part II. Located in the eastern DRC, Virunga is the first national park created in Africa, a World Heritage Site and home to mountain gorillas, of which fewer than 900 remain. As such, SOCO's announcement to suspend activities followed in the wake of a concerted campaign led by WWF to "draw the line" to save Virunga from devastation by prospective oil drilling.
What does SOCO's withdrawal really mean for the future of Virunga National Park?
(06/17/2014) Recent headlines have touted an agreement between SOCO International, a British oil company, and WWF, as bringing about an end to oil exploration in Virunga National Park. For example: Oil company Soco not to drill in Virunga World Heritage Site, Deal aims to ban drilling in gorilla preserve, and Soco halts oil exploration in Africa's Virunga national park. However, the same news banners flew in 2011, and oil exploration returned.
Extractive industries and apes
(06/13/2014) Current thinking in the private and public sectors asserts that economic development needs are in conflict with, or mutually exclusive of, the need to conserve the biosphere on which we depend. So, we are asked either to reduce development in the name of conservation or to reduce conservation in the name of development.

A group with the address sales@mailenable.com.au could contain an array of other addresses. If anyone sends a message to the groups address, the message is automatically delivered to all the members of the group. People can only become a member of a group if the Mail Administrator adds them as a member.
A list also provides the above functionality, however there is more control over how messages are published and how people become a member of a list. The most significant difference is that people can subscribe to a list via e-mail. They send a message to the lists SMTP address with the keyword 'subscribe' in the subject (they can also unsubscribe by placing unsubscribe in the subject). It is possible to moderate a list, forcing all messages sent to the list to be routed to a moderators address. Only the moderator can publish to the list. Any messages sent to the list by the moderator are immediately distributed to the subscribers of the list.
Another option when using the list server, is the ability to configure a list that will send out a confirmation code for any user wanting to subscribe to the list, thus requiring the user to reply back to the list using the confirmation code to successfully subscibe to the list.
Additional extensions available to lists are outlined in the MailEnable Professional Edition documentation.

CCMA Employment Equity Update
EMPLOYMENT EQUITY UPDATE
The CCMA continues to receive a high volume of employment equity case referrals and requests for equal pay training interventions. In this issue we look at some of the equal pay cases heard during the period January to March 2016 and the key learnings emanating from the cases.
EQUAL PAY FOR WORK OF EQUAL VALUE CASES
Summary by Commissioner Kagiso Nthite
Commissioner Kagiso Nthite
Listed Grounds
In RFBC37293 the applicant, a coloured employee, alleged that he was paid less than his white counterpart whilst they both performed the same work. The respondent justified the differentiation by alleging that the applicant was in charge of 43 local distance trucks whilst the comparator was responsible for 90 long distance trucks. The respondent further stated that there was another coloured employee who also earned above the applicant's remuneration as he also had greater responsibilities. The Commissioner found that there was no unfair discrimination.
In MP8535-15 African team leaders alleged that they were paid less than their white counterparts in three differing departments, namely, administration, engineering and production. In administration, the Commissioner found that some Africans earned more than whites, in engineering one white earned less than all the Africans and in production two Africans earned the same as the whites. The Respondent disputed that the differentiation was not as a result of race. The Commissioner found that there was no evidence to suggest racial discrimination and thus found no unfair discrimination.
In ECPE5643-15 the Commissioner found that there was no racial discrimination. It was found that there was wage disparities. The applicant performed the same work as his white counterpart who earned higher. However it was found that the pay disparity was based on length of service and experience. The Commissioner found that all employees who started working in the same year earned equally and thus those who had long service earned more.
In GAJB23976-15 the Commissioner found that the applicant failed to challenge the evidence of the respondent that the pay disparity was not based on race but was as a result of a month salary difference due to the financial constraints of the respondent. It was found that an agreement was reached between the applicant and the respondent to pay the wages due to the applicant the next month, which was indeed paid and thus no unfair discrimination was found.
Arbitrary Grounds
In KNPS1538-15 the applicants alleged that they performed the same work as the comparators but were paid at a lower level than the comparators. One of the applicants compared himself to a deceased employee who had actually joined the respondent at a slightly higher salary as there was no national standardisation of salaries in municipalities. The Commissioner dismissed his case. For the other two applicants, it was found that the respondent did not have a justifiable explanation for the disparities. The Commissioner found that there was unfair discrimination and ordered compensation for the unfair discrimination and damages for the loss in salary difference.
In KNPM2105-15 the applicant alleged that she performed work of the same value as her comparator but was paid less. The Commissioner found that there was no evidence of discrimination and that both positions were graded during the job evaluation system which was ongoing and the duration of the process did not suggest that there was unfair discrimination.
In ECPE4132-15 the Commissioner found that the applicant failed to make a case of unfair discrimination because her comparator had qualifications and experience which are provided for in the remuneration policy. It was found that in terms of performance, the applicant was not competent. No unfair discrimination was found.
In In GAJB18828-15 the applicant failed to provide facts relating to his comparators such as date of employment, qualifications, working hours and their daily duties. The respondent argued that the comparators started working before the applicant and thus the fact that they all had the same title did not suggest that they should earn the same. The Commissioner found that there was no unfair discrimination.
In GATW7776-15 the applicant alleged that the differentiation was based on qualifications and was thus excluded from scarce skill allowance as she had less years of service. She alleged that she performed the same work as her comparators. The respondent disputed that the applicant has a skill and that she was an auditor because she was giving support to the auditors and thus her work was different from that of the auditors. The Commissioner found that the applicant performed different work from that of the comparators and found that there was no unfair discrimination.
KEY LEARNINGS FROM CCMA DECIDED EQUAL PAY CASES
Applicants fail to link equal pay cases to a discrimination ground.
Most of equal pay cases are mere allegations no prima face case of discrimination).
Applicants fail to provide proof of differentiation from comparators.
Errors committed by Human Resources Officers or Payroll Officers is not justification for unfair differentiation.
Applicants still continue to compare themselves with wrong comparators.
Applicants need to do more spade work in preparing their cases.

MATTER OF INTEREST
PAY DIFFERENCE DUE TO GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION Summary of judgment by Commissioner Ronel De Wet
Commissioner Ronel De Wet
Whether the failure to pay an employee in one province the same as an employee in another province, constitutes unfair discrimination based on an "unlisted" or "arbitrary ground"?
In Duma v Minister of Correctional Services and Others [2016] ZALCCT 6 (2 February 2016) the court held the ground of geographical location as a basis to prejudice an employee, by paying that employee less for the same work as another in a different location, has the ability to impair the dignity of that person in a manner comparable to the listed grounds (under Section 6(1) of the EEA) and amounts to discrimination.
Duma is employed by the Department of Correctional Services in the Western Cape as a Senior Correctional Officer: Manager Legal Services. She referred an unfair discrimination dispute to the Labour Court, claiming that she was unfairly discriminated against on the ground of geographical location of her post. According to her there are disparities between various employees who are performing work with the same job description but at different rates of remuneration.
Significantly, instead of justifying any such differentiation, it appears from the facts that the Respondent in its defense, chose to deny that it had discriminated against Duma.
The Court applied the unfair discrimination definition as it was prior to the 2014 amendments and in doing so, referred to the test stipulated in Harksen. It is nonetheless clear that the Court was influenced by the subsequent amendments in coming to its conclusion.
In brief, the Court accepted that Duma met the onus of proving that she had been unfairly discriminated against on the following submissions:
She was treated in an arbitrary manner on a ground that impacted on her dignity;
the Respondent failed to show it was necessary to distinguish between the comparable positions in the different provinces, or that there was a purpose for the differential treatment;
any distinction between employees based solely on the area of the country in which they work is,
"given our history, anathema to the society envisaged by the Constitution"'
The Labour Court ordered payment amounting to the difference between remuneration she what she should have received had her post been correctly graded and that she actually received, retrospectively from three years before she referred the dispute to Court and up to date. It was accepted the claim for the period prior to that had prescribed.
The Regulations provide for factors that may justify differential treatment. Where an Employer can justify differential treatment based on, inter alia, cost of living or shortage of skill, such differentiation may under those circumstances be justified and not amount to unfair discrimination. It is important to note, the Respondent in this regard, failed to refer to any justification or purpose for the differentiation.

Go Behind The Scenes With A New 'Solomon Kane' Featurette
The story of Solomon Kane is quite epic, full of demons and monsters, the actual journey of the film getting to domestic theaters seems to be even more interesting. The film has yet to be picked up by an American distributor, which means it could be some time before we ever get to see Michael Bassett's film in theaters, if at all.
The film follows closely to the original books by Conan and Krull creator Robert E. Howard, while taking some impressive liberties with CG work and effects. The story follows the titular Kane, a priest who sells his soul to the devil tries to redeem his soul by fighting the henchmen of Hell.
Starring Rome's James Purefoy, with MIchael Bassett adapting the screenplay and taking the helm, the film looks to be making quite a lot of noise in the critics' circles.
Still no word on when we'll get to see the entire film, but in the meantime, we've been bringing you plenty of clips for you to feast upon. Check out an all-new behind the scenes feature after the jump.

The areas around the tanks feel more like some sort of military fair or exhibition than of fully armed troops ready to defend the coup with their lives if they must.
These are the tanks on one side of the square in front of The Ananda Samakhom Throne Room. You can even see a balloon seller in the background!
I don't suppose that we should be in any doubt that all of the tanks are in full fighting condition and all of the guns the soldiers are holding are fully loaded.

Ruth Igielnik woke up Monday morning in her Washington, D.C., home and immediately checked the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Twitter feed, where she found out her office would be closed because of Hurricane Sandy.
She did what a lot of people probably did on Monday: She stayed in bed.
Igielnik set her computer on her lap and kept an eye on Facebook and Twitter. She also was texting her younger brother, who is studying in New York City. And she was refreshing an interactive map of the storm, because her boyfriend was stranded in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
As Sandy unfolded, residents up and down the East Coast followed the storm every step of the way, thanks to social media and easily available online tools.
FEMA administrator Craig Fugate has been tweeting about the storm periodically for about a week, providing more than 30,000 people with tips and links to help people sift through all the news about Sandy.
The National Weather Service also updates its Twitter feed with information from the National Hurricane Center, but NSW's Facebook page appears to have more traction, with more than 100 people clicking "like" on every post. Facebook has been especially useful for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which has been updating users with compelling pictures as well as satellite images and storm-tracking diagrams of Sandy.
Kaitlin Kuhlthau, a New Jersey native who is working on her master's degree in Surrey, England, has most of her family in Monmouth Beach, N.J., and has been using Facebook as the main source of communication with her family. She said Monmouth Beach, which is at sea level, was evacuated, but her family members decided to stay. Their biggest concern, she said, was how long they would have power.
Through Google, people can find another interactive map that allows them to track the storm and gives information of the affected areas. The map also points people to the nearest shelter.
For cell phones and tablets, there are several applications that can be downloaded, such as Hurricane Tracker and Hurricane HD. Through both applications, people have access to animated maps that are tracking the storm.
People have also been using the American Red Cross' application, The Hurricane, to update Twitter and Facebook, as well as to email and text family and friends that they are safe.
AccuWeather.com, a weather forecast website, is using Google+ to connect with their users and answer any questions they may have for meteorologists.

Jeska Grue and Emlyn Murray turn their love of thrift shopping into an online business.
For those who partake, the act of vintage shopping is full of unparalleled joys. The act of sifting through racks or digging through bins, then finding the perfect piece in a pile of duds. Some consider the tactile experience to be the best part. So how does it work when the hunt is taken out of the shop and onto the internet?
Jeska Grue, 25, and Emlyn Murray, 22, co-own the Etsy shop Coupy Clothes. Both had an excess of clothes from years of thrift shopping, and decided to turn their crammed closets into a business. Since July 2012 the friends have sold both their own castoffs, and things that they have thrifted, to customers worldwide.
Etsy is an online selling platform that allows anyone with a credit card to list handmade and vintage items. The site continues to grow in popularity – statistics published by the Etsy News Blog show that nearly 1.4 million new members joined last November. In the same month, vendors sold a collective $147.5 million in goods.
With other part-time work and classes – both Murray and Grue are in their final year of the costume studies program at Dalhousie University – starting a business is no easy feat.
"I guess one of the big barriers in Halifax is how expensive rent is, especially downtown," says Grue. Retail space on Grafton Street, for example, goes for about $35 a square foot per month, while space on Spring Garden leases for an average $70 per square foot monthly.
Etsy charges no upfront membership fees, but takes 3.5 per cent of each sale. To list an item for four months (or until sold) costs a mere 20 cents. Murray named this relatively low cost as one of their greatest motivators in starting their shop.
The shop is currently a side project for the two, a way of turning their thrifting habit into a little extra spending money. The shop has made 165 online sales so far, though that doesn't include the sales they've made in person with Haligonians hoping to save on the shipping fees.
Grue stresses the importance of including accurate measurements in their listings, and taking good clear photographs from a variety of angles.
Grue notes that the work required to list an item – from thrifting the item to cleaning and sending it off – can be tedious. The two first have to find items to list, shopping at stores like Frenchy's and the Salvation Army. They then clean and press the item, attending to any details like loose buttons or stray threads. Once the garment is in tip top shape they photograph it, upload the listing and wait.
"There are a lot of little phases – it's a lot more monotonous, it's not like we're in a room with a bunch of clothes and just throwing them around," she says with a laugh.
Once an item has been sold, it isn't as simple as handing the buyer a bag. With customers as far-flung as Australia, managing shipping is a big part of running the business successfully. Murray notes that it wasn't an easy task initially.
"There were a lot of times [at the beginning] where we really undercharged for shipping and didn't end up making much of a profit on the item because it ended up being heavier and more costly to ship," says Murray, adding that certain countries like Switzerland have higher postage rates than others of a similar distance.
As costume studies students and thrifting enthusiasts, both Grue and Murray have a love for textiles rooted in their childhood. Grue grew up near Truro with easy access to a Frenchy's, one of a chain of treasured Atlantic Canadian second-hand stores, as well as local favourite Louie's, a similar enterprise. She notes that though as a kid she wanted new clothing, her mother was devoted to the thrifting scene.
Murray, who was raised in Halifax, can also trace her interest in clothes to her teenage years. She had exposure to costumes as an art form in childhood with two theatre artist parents and a costume-designing aunt.
Both have a sharp eye for combing the racks and bins, and their knowledge of garments and textiles is a real asset. While Murray says that their shop is "not quite on the level of 100 per cent old vintage," they definitely keep their eyes peeled for pieces from certain decades.
"It's actually quite hard to find pieces of clothing from the '50s or earlier in Halifax, so sometimes that can be what draws me into things.
This lightheartedness comes coupled with a part of retail that is easily lost in an online transaction: the relationship between the customer and the vendor. The women of Coupy Clothes strive to keep this going with respect to the clothes finding their right owner.
For Murray, this was one of the reasons they initially decided to sell their clothes online.
"If you give them to a thrift store, you're not really sure of where they end up, like with the right person if it's a special article of clothing," she says.
She remembers finding a dress that she loved that was just too large for her.
They recently started a Coupy Clothes Instagram account, in the hopes of connecting with fellow vintage sellers and customers alike. The decision to join the photo-sharing platform came after Grue noticed that other sellers would post not only clothing photos but photos from their daily activities. This "gave you more a feel for their lifestyle and why the clothing that they chose would relate to that," explains Murray.
"It's not even a type of advertising, it's a way to document the daily craft," says Grue.
While they're sticking to selling vintage clothing for the moment, the two can see themselves eventually listing their own designs alongside their finds.
"I think both of us are very interested in going into making our own clothes, and designing our own clothes. I think that's really where we'd love to head someday if the opportunity arose," says Grue.
McNabs Island will see its annual clean-up this June by Friends of McNabs Island.
Most Haligonians would agree that the city has suffered a harsher winter than usual. But Cathy McCarthy is thinking about the needs of another population.
McCarthy is the president of the Friends of McNabs Island Society and has been with them since their first meeting in March 1990. In addition to fundraising to provide amenities like park benches and a composting toilet for the island, the society organizes annual beach clean-ups.
McCarthy says that the island's location at the mouth of the harbour means that it's "like a sieve" for garbage and debris from both sides.
The clean-ups, or "sweeps", are intended to not only clear the beaches of debris, but identify the sources of the contaminants. Organizations such as Clean Nova Scotia as well as individual volunteers also participate in the sweeps. This year's sweep is set for June 1.
Rochelle Owen is the director of the Office of Sustainability at Dalhousie University and has been doing photography for the society on a volunteer basis for around 20 years. She is all too familiar with the pollution on the beaches of McNabs.
This was the first year Owen visited McNabs in the winter. She's working on an exhibition of her photos of the island, set to go up in October 2014.
In its heyday as a recreational and residential area, McNabs was home to a soda factory. Evidence of this past is still visible on the island.
"There are still old bottles, so you can see how nature is transforming those pieces, that's the focus of it," says Owen.
While Fort McNab is a national historic site, and the rest of the island a provincial park, it often does not get the funds McCarthy feels it deserves. Instead, the society fundraises to keep the island accessible and beautiful.
"Over the past five years Friends of McNabs have been fundraising, we've applied to various grants, and we've been able to raise 500 000 dollars for the trails and to try to improve the infrastructure on McNabs," says McCarthy.
For all the beauty that drew McCarthy to the island after visiting it with her children over 20 years ago, she recognises that there are serious issues that need to be addressed – specifically, erosion.
McNab's island is currently accessible through several ferry services out of Eastern Passage, or through Murphy's for larger groups.

Olympic Trials
August 6, 2012 Janet Morris Grimes Home
There's just something about the Olympics.
Vaulted onto the world's stage every four years, we can't help but take notice.
As we should. For casual observers, addicted as we may be, it is an event that takes place every four years.
But clearly, what we are witnessing is a lifetime of dedication and sacrifice. Though these now famous faces appear on our television screens for less than ten minutes, they represent the dreams and determination that brought them this far, long before we had ever heard of them.
I saw a clip from the 2000 Olympics of Michael Phelps competing as a 15-year-old in his first Olympic meet. No one remembered his name after those first Olympics.
Gabby Douglas, the Darling of this Olympic Games, says she remembers watching her first Olympics in 2004, when she was 8. This was also the first time she won her first all around gold medal in the state of Virginia, just two years after her first gymnastics lesson. In October of last year, she elected to move to Iowa to train with a coach who did not even remember her from a clinic he had held at her home gym. But she remembered him, and was impressed with a particular move he was able to teach her in a single afternoon.
Misty May-Trainer and Kerri Walsh Jennings have been playing volleyball as a team since 2001. But prior to this, Misty actually appeared in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia with a different partner, and placed fifth. Her story could have very easily ended there, content to have competed in the Olympics at all. But she wanted more, and was willing to do whatever it took to accomplish her goals. Once she teamed with Kerri, they swept both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics without ever losing a set.
There are many more stories of athletes who overcame defeat to reach such a level of greatness.
But they all share one thing in common.
At one time, they were the only ones who believed in their dream. But they continued to show up, to seek guidance, to push harder and further. To become stronger. To overcome injuries. To break their own records.
They prepared when no one else was looking. Long before we cared enough to cheer.
Thank goodness, they never gave up.
I love sports for this reason. It's not the event, or the particular sport. It's the people, and I love the way God uses sports to share their stories.
And one of my favorite Olympic stories of all time has to be that of Oscar Pistorius of South Africa. A double amputee before the age of one, he confesses to putting on his legs each morning as his brother was putting on his shoes. His dreams of running competitively came later in life, but he quickly dominated the field of runners in those with 'disabilities' such as his own. He longed to run in the Olympics alongside the best runners in the world. Because he also had a dream that no one but himself believed in.
He deserves a gold medal for crossing that finish line, regardless of his last place finish.
He finished. He fulfilled his dream. He wins. He showed up every single day, when no one else was looking. He deserves a place on this world stage, perhaps that of being the biggest winner of them all.
How I love the Olympics, and what I can learn from them.
Sports is not my thing. But I do have a few dreams that for now, I am the only one who believes in. But I will continue to show up every day, and maybe one day, the world will know….

Света водица () је вода која је освећена током верског обреда и сматра се посебном и лековитом међу хришћанима.

У православној цркви
Користи се при многим свештенорадњама и чиновима Цркве, било да се непосредно освећује, било да се користи раније освећена вода: приликом освећивања храмова, домова, гробних споменика и разних предмета који човеку служе или се он њима користи.

У светој тајни Крштења, освећена вода постаје "водом очишћења, бањом препорода, извором живота", у којој се крштени рађа "водом и Духом" за нову долазећу стварност Царства Небескога.

У католичкој цркви
У западним обредима Католичке цркве усвојен је термин "благослов воде. Освећење воде у католичкој цркви се одржава у следећим случајевима:
Освећење воде за свету тајну крштења. Од првих векова хришћанства је саставни део свете тајне. Благослов се одвија непосредно пре обављања светих тајни, посебно свечани облик има током ускршњег бдења, током кога, се обично, обавља крштење одраслих катихумена.

Благослов воде се чини и током појединих празника и Дана сећања на поједине светитеље. Традиција благосиљања воде на Ускрс односи се на древни обичај крштења на ускршњем бдењу. Међутим, током средњег века у Католичкој цркви укорењена ке традиције обреда освећења воде и другим празницима у првом реду, празник крштења Господа и дан Св Агате (5. фебруар). На празник Богојављења (6. јануара) у храмовима освећује се вода, креда и тамјан.

Освећење воде обавља се и током недељне мисе, а затим се дели парохијанима. Освећена вода се потом чува у посебним чинијама на улазу у храм. На улазу у храм и при изласку парохијани умоче руку у свету воду и учине знак крста.

Порекло
Освећење воде има своје порекло у првим вековима раног хришћанства, о чему сведоче древни писани извори, као апостолске установе. Евхологион Серапиона Тмуишког као и рани оци Цркве: Теодорит, блажени Јероним, Епифаније и други. Ипак, у почетку није постојало установљено правило када, где и како се врши водоосвећење. Постојала је извесна разлика у тим обредима. Но свима њима је заједничко да се освећење воде врши помоћу одређених молитава, призивањем Светога Духа, као и крстоликим благосиљањем и погружењем у воду Часнога Крста, што и данас чини елементе сваког водоосвећења.

Данас су позната два освећења воде: велико и мало. Велико водоосвећење се врши два пута у години на Крстовдан (Навечерје Богојављења) и на Богојављење, у коме се сећамо Крштења Исуса Христа у реци Јордан, у коме Црква види не само прототип омивања грехова, но и стварно свећење природне воде погружавањем Бога у телу у воду. То је свечани обред којем, скоро редовно, присуствује велико мноштво народа, који освећену воду носе својим домовима, јер се та Света Водица - Богојављенска, чува у сваком дому преко целе године као велика светиња, а користи се само у великој нужди (болести, узнемиравање од стране злих духова). У неким нашим крајевима обичај је да свештеник сам разноси Богојављенску водицу по домовима верника.

Мало водоосвећење врши се у различитим приликама, при другим црквеним чиновима и обредима, па и на захтев појединих верника. Према свакој потреби, може се вршити мало освећење воде у свако време и на сваком месту: у кући, у пољу, у врту и тако даље.

Традиција у Србији
Традиција је у Српској православној цркви да свештеник у току године два пута посети домове својих верника ради извршења свећења водице, и то на неколико дана пред Крсну славу, и пред највећи хришћански празник - Васкрс. Верује се да доласком свештеника у кућу и свећењем водице, улази благодат Божија у дом. По завршетку чина освећења воде, свештеник кропи сва одељења у кући, као и сву децу која су присутна, при чему она целивају Часни Крст и десницу свештеника.

Освећена водица за Крсну славу сва се употреби на справљање славског колача и кољива, а може и да се остави мало за пиће да сви чланови дома попију по гутљај за освећење душе и тела.

Традиција у Грчкој
Код православних Грка има доста породица које захтевају од својих свештеника, да неизоставно сваког месеца долазе и врше освећење воде по домовима.

Света Водица, нарочито она Богојављенска, може се чувати неограничено време. Ма колико се дуго чува, она не губи своју освећујућу благодат, нити постаје подложна кварењу. Има породица које Богојављенску водицу чувају по тридесет и више година, с тим што сваке године, од нове водице, када је донесу из цркве, помало додају у флашу у којој држе стару водицу.

Five players the New York Mets should pursue
Nelson Cruz and Lucas Duda would be a scary power duo in the Mets lineup.
Alexei Ramirez would give the Mets great defense at shortstop, while adding a solid righty bat to the lineup.
The New York Mets are entering their most promising offseason in years. David Wright has finally elected to get his shoulder fixed, Juan Lagares just won his first Gold Glove Award in center field and Lucas Duda is an emerging star in the middle of the lineup. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud showed real promise down the stretch. Curtis Granderson is expected to return to form under hitting coach Kevin Long. The bench has both offensive and defensive catalysts in the likes of Eric Young.
Perhaps, most importantly, the Mets' pitching is widely regarded as among the National League's best. The Mets have few matters left to seriously address, but their handling of these matters will determine whether they get over the hump in 2015. Here are five players the New York Mets should pursue, via free agency or trade, this offseason.
Alexei Ramirez
Alexei Ramirez hasn't achieved the heights many had anticipated for him, but he's been a valuable presence in the White Sox' lineup for years. In seven seasons, Ramirez has posted an average season of .277, with 14 home runs, 69 RBI and 17 stolen bases. He often bats second in the Sox' lineup, a spot the Mets have been trying to fill for a while. And he's an excellent fielder at shortstop, which would strengthen the Mets' already vastly improved defense. Ramirez doesn't have serious home run power; even with adjusted outfield depths, Citi Field won't be the kind of launching pad he got used to at US Cellular Field. But he is a solid doubles hitter, averaging 28 per season. He's 33 years old, still in his peak years, and he's contracted for a not-unreasonable $8 million per year through 2016. The New York Mets would have to pay a bit more for Ramirez, but he covers two areas of necessity: a right-handed bat and an everyday shortstop. He would improve the Mets immediately in multiple aspects of the game.
Josh Reddick
As I've broken down before, Josh Reddick would be a relatively cheap acquisition with extremely high upside. He's hit as many as 32 home runs and driven in as many as 85 runs. Reddick is a lefty with power and speed, and he's batted from second to seventh in the Oakland A's lineup. He's solid in the clutch, unafraid of the big moments and an excellent right fielder with a strong arm. He's had a few seasons shortened by injury, partly due to his daredevil-style athleticism in the field — but if he can stay healthy, his defense alone would make him worth a shot. Best of all, he's only 27, and his current contract is only $2.7 million. Think of him as Matt den Dekker with a stronger arm and more of a Major League track record. As for den Dekker, he'd make solid trade bait as part of a package deal — or the Mets could stash him while he cultivates his own interesting upside in triple-A or as a fourth outfielder. The A's wouldn't give Reddick away for peanuts, but the Mets wouldn't have to sell the farm, either.
Nelson Cruz
Nelson Cruz provided a resounding answer to his doubters in 2014, batting .271 with 40 home runs and 108 RBIs. Any concerns that his power numbers were PED-dependent have been addressed, and he remains one of the more dangerous right-handed sluggers in the game. While Citi Field — adjusted dimensions or not — isn't nearly as homer-friendly as Camden Yards, Cruz can drive the ball out of any park. In fact, 25 of his 40 home runs last season were on the road. Cruz is well known for his occasional struggles in right field, and Citi Field is a heck of a tough right field to play. But he'd have the best defensive center fielder in baseball next to him in Juan Lagares, and the Mets have excellent defensive replacement options in den Dekker and Kirk Nieuwenhuis. It's also worth noting that Cruz has a fairly strong arm. He's an unrestricted free agent, so the New York Mets would only have to talk him into signing up; and while he's certain to request an upgrade on last year's $8 mullion contract, he might agree to a reasonable price if he thinks he's a finishing piece for a division winner. The fact that he would cost a first-round pick in 2015 isn't as daunting for a team with a farm system as strong as the New York Mets have. And at 34, he's reaching the end of his peak but isn't yet over the hill. Last but not least: Cruz and Lucas Duda would be a scary lefty-righty power duo.
Yoenis Cespedes was one of the prime movers of an Athletics team that seemed poised to rampage into the postseason. Then they traded him to the Red Sox, in a move that many found questionable. The Sox, who are in a rebuilding stage, might be willing to trade him, and he would be a good fit for the Mets. Cespedes is a solid outfielder with a cannon for a throwing arm, and he's a right-handed hitter with enormous natural power. He's known as a great presence in the clubhouse, and his charismatic personality would fit well in the New York spotlight. Adding to the New York angle: Cespedes recently switched agents and joined Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports. His plate discipline can be spotty, and his career batting average is only .263. But he would be a looming presence in the New York Mets' lineup, which would open up the threat potential of Duda and others. At $9 million a year, his contract isn't overly expensive, and at 29, he's near the front end of his peak with time and room to grow.
Troy Tulowitzki could make the Mets an immediate contender.
I've also addressed this angle before, but Troy Tulowitzki would be a great fit for the New York Mets' lineup. He's an elite defensive shortstop, a right-handed bat who hits for average and power, and he's still only 30 years old. Tulo's addition as a run producer would allow den Dekker, an excellent outfielder, a chance to audition for an everyday role. And Tulowitzki's power isn't limited to home runs: He's a capable doubles and triples hitter, the proverbial whole package on offense. Of course, Tulo comes with concerns, particularly his long injury history. But he's said that he thinks his injury problems are behind him, and again, he's only 30 years old. Another concern: Tulowitzki will be costly. He's contracted for almost $16 million per year, and the Rockies would ask for a fair amount to trade him away. But they've made it known they're entertaining offers, and Tulowitzki could immediately make the Mets a legitimate contender.
The New York Mets, after a season on the brink, finally seem one or two moves away from breaking through. Their fans are hoping they'll finally take the plunge and acquire the finishing pieces. If hey do, 2015 will be an auspicious year.
