Five Things You Need to Know About the Library
Five Things to Know About University of Alberta Library – Online Edition
Indigenous History Month | Challenges in Indigenous Archiving
by Guest Author June 22, 2021
This guest post was written by Christian Isbister who worked with our team at the University of Alberta Archives to help begin the process of decolonizing their collection.
Tanisi, hello! My name is Christian Isbister, I'm a Métis librarian/archivist, and I most recently completed a contract with the University of Alberta Archives where I made some early steps towards decolonizing their collection. Here I'll talk about some of the inherent difficulties in searching for Indigenous materials in archives, which will hopefully show why decolonizing these spaces are important.
First, I think it would be helpful to briefly go over some concepts in archives that I'll be using. Archives are organized and accessed a little differently than libraries. While in a library you can look for an individual thing, like a book or an article, at the University of Alberta Archives you often search for Fonds, which is an archival term that describes all the records held in the archive by one creator. So, for example, you might search for the Julian Mills Fonds, which will include his photographs, diary entries, newspaper clippings, letters, or anything else he created.
Photo titled "Indian Dog Team", part of the Julian Mills Fonds.
This brings me to the first issue that Indigenous researchers come across, which is that archival descriptions prioritize the creator of the records, not the subjects. As I'm sure you can imagine, historically speaking Indigenous Peoples have rarely been the creators of these records. Instead, they get described in the records of other people. This can make it difficult to search for material about Indigenous Peoples, since you can only find them by searching for the record creators. In the archive there are thousands of photographs of Indigenous Peoples, but the best way to find them is to know who took those photographs.
Photo titled "Chiefs and Dancers", part of the William Rowan Fonds.
Another big challenge you might come across is that many of these records detail history that is inherently traumatic. This can make research very difficult for Indigenous Peoples who are looking for their histories in archives. Even if material isn't traumatic, there are lots of archival records that contain very racist or derogatory language. All of this can make using the archive a difficult process for Indigenous Peoples, and makes the archive a place of colonial violence.
Photo titled "Mr. Joe Rhone and Boy in Costume", part of the William Rowan Fonds.
The final issue I'd like to talk to you about is about the often messy landscape of ownership of Indigenous materials. At the heart of the problem is that lots of the archival materials about Indigenous Peoples were donated without their consultation or their consent. When donating things to archives, the donors themselves have the option of putting restrictions on their materials. So, for example, they could say that no one can access their Fonds without first getting their permission. Indigenous Peoples will also place restrictions on their own stories, so for example certain stories can only be shared during certain times of the year, or are only meant to be shared with other members of their communities. A common example is that no photographs of the Sundance are permitted. These restrictions were rarely considered when materials were donated, and archives will often have material that they should never have collected in the first place.
It's a bit of a tangled mess we've found ourselves in, but I wanted to end on a bit of a hopeful note. We now have a (mostly) complete inventory of everything by or about Indigenous Peoples.
While this isn't currently publicly accessible, it does mean that if you want to look in the archive for Indigenous material, then the Archive staff there are better prepared to help you. In addition, the University of Alberta Archives is looking at returning some of the sensitive material to different Indigenous communities, or else place further restrictions on those materials. Archives can be a really great resource filled with amazing things, not only for scholarly research but for learning more about your family histories. I'm hopeful that, with continued work, we can make more Indigenous folks feel welcome in accessing the archives.
Researchers wanting to access items that are housed at the University of Alberta Archives can do so by appointment only. Visit the University of Alberta Archives' website to search their holdings and learn how you can book a visit.

"I wish there was a score higher than an A for this group. They are very responsive, answer calls and come by when they say they will. David handled most of the work we needed done and he was absolutely so conscientious, neat, and professional, and friendly that it almost seemed as if a member of the family came by to help. He was a true plumbing artist and made sure everything we needed done was finished absolutely correctly. It is beautiful.
"The Beard Group did a ton of work. They do tremendous amount of job in terms of attention to detail. They are very responsive to calls. Based on our experience, we had contractors for pretty much everything in the house – from the roof to the basement, to the windows to painting. We had everybody in and they were truly outstanding.
My wife and I are both attorneys and we are in another type of service business where we make sure the clients get the attention they need and then take complicated issues and make them as clear as possible to a layperson.
They are the first contractors that bring that type of professional approach to the work. We recommend them to everybody that is having work done.

He put the empty pint mug down on the drip tray designed to catch any overflow that might still be leaking over the brim as full glasses were set down for their eager customers.
It was slightly cleaner than the unpolished bar he was leaning against. It had probably gleamed once, the metal surface lovingly polished after each night's use. Now it was caked in the grime that a perfunctory sweep with a damp cloth couldn't remove, stuck deep in its mottled surface. The dingy bar wasn't somewhere he would usually choose to come himself, preferring the more 'electric' feel and busier atmosphere of those in the centre of the city. His income, working for the Metropolitan Police, wasn't great, but he had a comfortable enough life and could afford to be a bit choosier as to where he spent his leisure time.
He was working though, and this bar was one of the ones frequented by the man he was looking for. At least it had been until recently.
"Not in the last few days," replied the barman. He was old, and his clothes not much cleaner than the bar he worked in. The faded T-shirt he wore proclaimed that he was "with stupid", a hand and finger pointing to one side. This attempt at humour seemed somehow incongruous with the man wearing it.
There was nothing to be gained from sharing with the barman why he was looking for Alberto Riaz, and the barman didn't look surprised to be getting no more information.
He thanked the man and left the dimly lit bar, having asked that, should Riaz return, the enquiry after his whereabouts shouldn't be repeated. With luck, it'd be a request that was heeded. Jon doubted it though. Even if the man's language difficulties made sharing the information that much harder, the opportunity to gossip would probably win through.
The brightness of the early afternoon sun hit him as he emerged into the quiet street the bar lay on, and he turned to head back to the busier main road, and the underground station that had brought him here.
He could, of course, have taken a car — a driver even — but he preferred to use the public transport system when he could, and to work alone whenever possible. Usually, his investigations were made with the help of a partner, so this chance to flex his mental muscles on his own was welcome. Other people were looking for Riaz too, but he was the main officer assigned to the case at the moment.
Alberto Riaz hadn't, in fact, done anything wrong. Jon had been telling the truth when he had told the barman that. Riaz had chosen London to relocate to as part of his 'price' for testifying against one of the drug lords from his native Bolivia. They probably didn't need the additional testimony that Riaz brought. The photographic evidence, the money trail and the statements of the officers who had arrested Tomas Fuente would have been enough to secure a very long sentence for him. But Alberto Riaz could attest to Fuente's dealings firsthand, had seen him handling drugs, and had heard him giving orders for their shipment, mainly to the USA. The evidence Alberto Riaz had to offer, though not vital, had certainly made it easier to ensure Fuente's final conviction.
Why Riaz had chosen London to relocate to, Jon wasn't quite sure. The city was pleasant enough, exciting even, if you knew the right places to go, and there were plenty of opportunities for gainful employment. The role secured for Riaz, one of many working on a production line in one of the capitol's few surviving manufacturing plants, didn't pay all that well but did provide a legitimate living, but the man could have chosen somewhere with better weather, warmer most of the time at least.
Jon shivered against the cold wind blowing down the street towards him. These March days were very changeable, one day being warm and light, almost like summer and greeted by people wearing shorts and T-shirts, the next much colder, like this one was. The sun's warming rays helped, of course, and if not for the wind it would probably have been quite pleasant.
For many weeks Riaz's new life had been uneventful. He had put in a full day's work at the factory and returned home to the small flat they had found for him nearby, spending many of his evenings in the bar Jon had just visited, and similar establishments, and buying his wants and needs at a small local supermarket and some of the shops that had lined his journey home. Familiarity had soon become routine, as evidenced by the printout of his spending habits which was now lying in one of the trays on Jon's desk back at the station he worked from.
They couldn't be sure that the explosion that had ripped apart Riaz's flat the previous evening had been caused by one of Fuente's men, but for Jon there wasn't really a better explanation. The blast which had greeted Riaz's arrival back home appeared at first glance to be a gas explosion. That was what the Investigating Officer from the Fire Service had concluded from his initial findings but he'd also not ruled out foul play. A closer more detailed examination was being carried out and was expected within forty eight hours. For the time being at least it was being reported publicly as an accident. Many of Jon's superiors thought it actually was, and that Riaz's history was merely a coincidence. They hadn't been so certain of this though to dismiss Jon's theory out of hand.
The DNA evidence around the front door frame — blood mainly — had told the investigators that someone had been there when the explosion had happened and the fact that Riaz was now missing and that no-one else had been found to be the victim did add a certain amount of credence to Jon's belief. To Jon, whether the explosion was accidental or deliberate, it was obvious that Riaz believed the latter and that was the cause of his disappearance. Whether he had any reason other than the blast itself to think this Jon probably wouldn't know until and unless he found Riaz and asked him.
What chance event had caused Riaz to survive, Jon didn't know, nor had any light been shed by his neighbours when they had been questioned, but something had. The explosion that followed had injured him for sure, the tell-tale blood on the wooden door frame had told Jon that much, but the blast obviously hadn't caught him fully. Riaz must have put two and two together and reached the same conclusion Jon had. Why he had chosen to try to hide, instead of affording himself the protection the authorities could offer, was another mystery that Jon couldn't yet answer. Maybe previous experiences with the Bolivian police back at home didn't give him much comfort in their abilities. Whatever the reason, it was now Jon's job to find him, and to do so before Fuente's men did.
He was quite confident he could do this. The man wasn't a criminal mastermind, after all. He had, of course, been involved in Fuente's dealings back in Bolivia, though hadn't been prosecuted for it. This had been another part of the price they had paid for his testimony. It wasn't one they had paid exactly gladly, but giving him immunity hadn't really cost that much. He had been, after all, a very small cog in that much larger machine.
He had no doubt that Riaz would turn up soon enough, the small microchip that had been inserted in his little finger, when he had first arrived in the UK, alerting the authorities to his whereabouts.
Jon felt, almost unconsciously, for his own chip, buried in the little finger of his left hand. It wasn't noticeable really, even though he knew it was there. The device was passive, so once he had taken the few seconds it needed for it to be implanted, it wasn't something he had to worry about ever again. The real work was done by the computers that took the unique number it carried whenever he needed to present it for scanning, which was pretty much all of the time now. He had linked it to his debit and credit cards as soon as the opportunity arose, and used a simple scan of his finger to pay as often as circumstances allowed. Frequently he could go for many days without needing to use the plastic cards in his wallet, though he still paid in cash for some of his smaller needs throughout the day. Despite his now approaching 50 years, Jon was a bit of a 'gadget freak', and grabbed every opportunity he could to use the latest technology. His colleagues and acquaintances of a similar age were generally more reluctant to do so, preferring to stick with older and more tried and trusted means of achieving their ends.
He had preferred the permanence of having the chip implanted when he had been given the choice. It meant he had it with him automatically instead of having to remember to take a plastic card wherever he went, the other alternative offered to everyone when the IDs had first been introduced. It was also quite a bit more secure having it physically inside him. Once activated the chip needed his body heat to keep working. If that disappeared it stopped emitting a number when scanned. He'd been assured that even if his finger got really cold, so long as he was alive the chip would continue to work. If he wasn't alive, it would stop. Or if his finger was separated from his hand. No matter how warm it was kept. No matter how carefully it was done. There was some clever medical way of ensuring this. Exactly what that was Jon didn't know, and probably wouldn't have understood even if it was explained slowly and carefully to him. His skill was in detecting, and his interest in gadgets and what they could do, not in biology. He did chuckle to himself now and then when he pictured someone carrying around an unconscious body so that their chip could be used. He was fairly sure the cleverness of the gadget couldn't allow for that possibility.
Jon's superiors were confident enough in their own beliefs to act outwardly as if the explosion had been accidental. Just in case though, they also gave Jon time to find Riaz. At least if the Fire Officer's report concluded that it wasn't, after all, an accident they could claim that they were already pursuing other lines of enquiry.
He was nearing the underground station now, his purposeful walk while thinking these thoughts having carried him through the steady stream of people that thronged the busy thoroughfare. It was still the tail end of lunchtime so the road was full of people rushing to complete chores during their break and to collect the sandwiches and other goodies that would sustain them through the afternoon.
He had checked out all of Riaz's usual haunts now, with pretty much the same result as he had got the bar he had just visited. Riaz had been a regular visitor but hadn't been seen at any of them for the last couple of days. There wasn't really anything else to be done except return to the station and wait for the break he expected the technology would offer.
He entered the brightly lit passageway that would lead down to the trains, passing the metal plates which now covered the ground the barriers had once stood on. Since public transport had become free, well buses and the Underground and trams where they had them, removing the barriers had speeded up everyone's journeys a little, though the transportation was even more crowded than before. Still, he thought to himself, that was part of the aim, little wonder that it had been so successful.
The transportation wasn't really 'free' of course. Everyone paid for it through taxes. But it was free at the point of use, and everyone paid, regardless of whether they used it or not. This had no doubt led at least a few people to finally give up their much cherished cars. Jon didn't own one himself, preferring to hire when one was really needed. Working and living in the city he didn't need one most of the time. Public transport was generally good, and improving all the time as it got used more and more. Even the night services were now far more frequent than they had been, and covered a more sophisticated route. The battle against personal car ownership and use was being won, slowly it had to be said, but more or less inevitably.
His journey back to the station, in Grove Street, was swift. It was only a couple of stops down after all, and didn't require changing lines, a process that more often than not took longer than the travelling time itself. He nodded a greeting to the desk sergeant as he passed and put his little finger against the pad to be read. Once he had been recognized by the system he heard the familiar click as the lock holding the door closed disengaged and a green light told him it was ready to be pushed open. The warmth the building offered seeped into him, and he leapt up the stairway taking the steps two at a time, feeling invigorated.
He greeted those colleagues that looked up from their desks as he passed, exchanging a few words with some, contenting himself with a simple 'hi' to others, people he knew less well or had already exchanged pleasantries with during his first visit of the day that morning.
Reaching his own desk he settled into the chair provided. It was somewhat ragged now, its black covering threadbare in places, especially on the seat itself. Any money saved now that they were effectively 'winning' the war against drugs hadn't made its way down to the office furniture. He turned on his computer screen and brought it alive by placing his little finger into the reader, then typing in the 'secret' four digit code that would confirm his identity.
A desktop alert told him that he had new messages, but when he clicked on the 'mail' icon which would show him these he was disappointed to see from the list of senders and subject lines that none was from the centre that was looking out for Riaz's reappearance nor from his Bolivian counterparts, who he had contacted as one of his first moves to ask for help in identifying who might have been sent to deal with Riaz. Still, at least the fact that he'd forgotten to take his phone with him, that would usually have delivered his messages while he was on the move, hadn't resulted in any delay.
He read through the new messages that were there, some being more or less 'junk' mail that had managed to evade the software designed to catch them, along with a few general tomes sharing information the senders thought he ought to be aware of. There was nothing there of a more personalised nature. He deleted most of the messages as he read them, choosing to file one or two in case he needed to refer back to them.
This wasn't the only case he was working on, of course, and at the moment was little more than a 'missing person'. Less so, in many respects, as his superiors believed they were humouring him rather than that his conviction was fact. Of course, if Fuente's men managed to find Riaz before he did himself it would become a much more grave matter. He leafed, half-heartedly, through the files on his desk that contained information on cases that hadn't yet been added to the computer's memory, or that he felt was important to keep handy as hard copy. There weren't a lot. Burglaries mainly. He knew the culprits in some cases, DNA or fingerprints having identified them, and like he was for Riaz he was just waiting for them to reappear. There were a couple of cases where the perpetrator wasn't known, either there was no evidence collected or that which had been didn't match anything they had on file. From the M.O.s, he thought he knew who had committed these too, though proving it would be harder.
His mobile phone doubled as a desk phone when he was in the station. In fact, he still had to dial '9' for an outside line when he was away from the station's own mast, and could call back to his office whenever he needed to simply by dialling the extension number. Normally it would have been in his pocket but he'd put it in the desk charger when he had arrived that morning and forgotten to take it out again when he'd left to check out some of Riaz's haunts. There were no missed calls to tell him anyone had tried to contact him. He thought about calling the Control Centre. If they did have information they were supposed to email it to him, as well as contact him by phone if he'd flagged an enquiry as 'urgent alert'. As he'd had no missed calls and no messages, it was most likely that it was because there was no information. He decided he would call anyway.
He didn't need to look up the number, it was saved as a speed dial on his phone. He was old enough to remember when having such numbers committed to memory was necessary, before having programmed them in once this wasn't needed, the phone itself acting as a telephone directory and being able to call simply by finding the right name and pressing 'send'. He marvelled to himself, not for the first time, how many numbers he used to remember. He still had to think a bit now before giving out his own.
He flipped open his phone and held down the number '5' that would connect him to the Centre, holding his left little finger up to the phone so his ID number could be read, when instructed to do so by the voice at the other end, which had answered after only a couple of rings. He followed this by dialling in his personal number when the same pre-recorded voice at the other end told him to do so. He waited a few moments while the system identified him then connected him with a living human being. He didn't mind the recorded voices, nor was he one of those people who got annoyed if they realised their call had been transferred to be dealt with overseas when he made personal calls, but it was comforting to be talking to a real person.
She gave him the details. As she spoke new messages arrived in his 'Inbox', containing the same information. He supposed such actions were automatic, driven by the same computer that had matched up the movements with his own enquiries. He thanked her and flipped shut the phone, which would also end the call. Now that he had the details in writing in front of him, he didn't need to take any more notes from what she was telling him.
The first notification told him that one of the burglars he was looking for had resurfaced, drawing cash from a machine near to the last known address they had for him. He'd get a couple of uniformed officers to call round to see if he had gone back home. They'd probably appreciate another arrest to their credit.
He was more interested in the second message, telling him that Alberto Riaz had also been getting cash from a machine. It was located outside his usual haunts, but not far so. Perhaps Riaz was staying with a friend from work? He'd try there after checking out the cash point. Besides anything else, he had no other leads to follow up at the moment. He would also take a cab instead of relying on public transport. The transaction was still fresh. It had only been made a couple of minutes earlier. He might get a lucky break and find that Riaz was still there.

As the hammocks come out and students get back into university life, here are a few tips for getting better grades this year!
Don't get a "0" on an assignment by choice. Commit to always turning in something. To get all of your school work done when you have too much (sometimes circumstantially you'll have to turn in a less than perfect assignment), but that's better than cheating or lying or just doing nothing. I'm amazed at how many students get bad grades or fail, simply because they're too okay with getting a 0 on an assignment.
If you want to finish college, don't fail the unsaid life "test" of flunking out the first semester or first year. Many students don't return for their second year of university because they didn't handle the fun and work well. Their bad grades reflected it. Students who pass the first year grit "test" by returning for a second year, have usually built the strength to go the full distance, if they want to.
When you're talking to people, do your words naturally come out perfectly every time? Was your first painting perfect? Did you win the championship your first year playing sports? No. So why do you expect this to happen whenever you write a paper? No matter how tired or late you are, always take the time to revise and re-read your papers for a better grade. Your first piece is not a perfect work of art. It needs touch ups. Your future boss will appreciate emails, slides, and reports with everything spelled correctly.
Underneath the surface, people that drop out are often putting on a face at times. They're lying in some way, to keep up. I think there is often a direct correlation between people who get things done with those who are consistently honest. Consistently honest people can face the facts, while dishonest people may excel in some areas, but hiding other areas behind the smiling face or hopeful words. Be hard on yourself about being 100% honest with people and keeping your commitment to school assignments/grades, and you'll see improvement.
Dropouts Usually Aren't The Busy Students, But The Undisciplined Students.
Watch. Look around you to see who probably won't be back for the next semester… Is it the super busy and social people with too much on their plate? Or is it more the ones that actually do have time on their hands who are usually spending too much time in their rooms or doing less important things? When students drop out, it's not usually due to people being too busy, but too undisciplined. You might need to change your friend group or get out, if you're not getting enough studying done. If you can't make the disciplined change you need on your own, find friends who really can.
It's almost essential (if not essential) that to get better grades, you need help from other students. You need to be taught how to edit and revise your papers by someone else. My mom helped me learn how to revise my papers growing up, but if you've never had someone show you how to write and edit a paper, humble yourself enough to ask for help and potentially feel "stupid" while asking the really basic questions you should probably already know the answers to, until you really get it. Also, some classes are just hard and not where you will naturally excel. Group work and studious friends helped me study and get me through classes I potentially would have failed otherwise. Get help.
Learn To Embrace The Challenge.
It's important to go through a stage or season in university where you realize how little you know. Don't let that stop you or discourage you. Embrace learning & see failures as problems to fix. The working people in life that really excel, often see stress and tension as a tools that help them thrive. They see challenges or tests as a chance to learn something new. No one enjoys being embarrassed too much, but we need to find joy in the moments we fail or at least learn from them… that is exactly why you're at college. Get back up and try again. You have to learn how to crawl before you walk. You'll fall many times… and even after some get it, some of us accident prone human being are doomed to a life of falling (and learning how to get back up and move forward again).
Don't Leave University With The Same Habits You Brought In. Change And Improve.
University isn't a place just to have fun, get good grades, and pass through just like you did before. To get better grades, you need to improve or change past habits. You don't want people who see you however many years later saying, "You haven't changed one bit." That's not a compliment. To get better grades, build better habits.
Remember, Your Education Is Often Your Future.
Will you pass the "life test" of graduating from university? To employers, the university degree symbolizes new habits, discipline, and maturity just as much as your skill. Graduating from university is not only saying that you "know enough," it is about saying you have enough stability and consistent habits to be reliable in your future career. It means you have learned how to survive and develop socially around others and will be able to work with a team. See getting the work done at university as an empowering & habit forming time. You're forming life skills and grit, whether you use your specific area of study or not in your career after university.
Those who learn how to "work hard, play hard, and rest hard" will do well in life. It's not all about work, God also desires for us to enjoy and rest. Variety in life brings us alive and gives us hope. Sometimes the best thing for you to do in order to get a paper done or to get an A on an assignment, is to put the work down, go have a little fun and come back and finish your work later.


I want the truth! You can't handle the truth!!
A classic line from the movie A Few Good Men. And the reality for most people trying to make money online. They hear of all the millions being made without lifting a finger and think to themselves that they will be able to earn a real living from just turning on their computer. It's so easy right? Watch any pitch video or read and any copy and you'll hear about how easy it is to strike it rich online.
I'm about to uncover the truth when it comes to making money online and while most people that read this or watch my seminar below will shrug it off, some of you will have your 'ah-ha' moment…I hope you see, making money online is possible, but the truth might scare you.
Here it is…You need to STICK OUT from the crowd!
Best selling author Seth Godin calls it being a 'purple cow' and I could not agree more. And here's 5 tips to help you stick out from the crowd and be remarkable in an industry that settles for average too many times.
1. Have Your Own Opinion – This will lead to you having a following and attracting like minded people into your circle. Not everyone will agree with you but people will respect you. The more your opinion is heard, the more you are looked at as a leader and expert in your chosen niche. The best way to get your opinion heard is through social media and your own blog!
2. It's O.K. To Piss People Off – Now this doesn't mean going out and being rude and trying to start arguments, but when you start forming your opinion on things people will either agree or disagree. Sometimes they take it a step further and start pointing fingers and claiming you are wrong and can get nasty about it. Accept it. It's part of being 'out there' while most are too scared to stick out from the masses. You want debate. You want people to challenge you. It's a sign that you are moving forward.
3. Take Chances – Take a chance on yourself. On your dreams. And on your vision for your business. When I got started online, I quit my day job to spend all my time working on my business. Which was even scarier because back then, my son was just born. So I needed to provide for him and I knew I couldn't do that making 300 bucks every two weeks at my offline job. So I took a chance and focused non-stop on building my online business. It was worth the risk, because almost 15 years later, I'm loving every minute of it and living my dream!
4. Invest In Yourself – It's fine to take chances on yourself and business but if you are not investing in it and yourself…Well. Most people don't spend a dime on their self-education and personal growth. Most people get Cousin Ed to design their websites or blogs. Don't fall for the trap. Invest in yourself and your business will grow. People can see quality a mile away and this will help you stick out even more.
5. Spend Money – Oh I lost you now didn't I? All the previous points you might have agreed with but when it comes to actually investing in your business, hiring professional designers and programmers…Oh man, that's not what you signed up for! We're supposed to spend nothing and make all the money? At least that's what we are told. No, it's pretty simple…If you make your brand, your website and your image look like a million bucks, you will attract the right business.
It's time we stop selling average products to average people. Let's stick out and sell remarkable services and products to remarkable individuals!
Yep, people are too comfortable they need courage to really put it out there. Fear of the unknown. Personal development is so important.
So critical man, it really separates you from the masses.
By the way I forgot to say… Great Video, Great Message.
The largest cattle feedlot in North America is about 10 miles from me. They have a pen right beside the highway that has not only purple cows but lime green and orange ones!
It is part of a marketing/advertising campaign they are running to bring more attention to their brand.
In a business that has 1000's of competitors, you make the choice to 'blend in' with the herd or STAND OUT as a leader. Make that choice. Do what it takes. INVEST in yourself. Or be happy with what you have now, as it probably won't improve.
Excellent suggestions here. I especially like the invest in yourself. You are the most important part of any bizop. I'd say spend money…but spend it wisely. Nobody likes to be ripped off. Make certain you're getting what you're paying for. Internet ops shouldn't cost but expenses to build your biz is a different matter. One thing I'd suggest is to make certain you're bizop isn't a scam. You can Google or otherwise search for scam detector sites.
Agreed. Due diligence is very important. Good point.
I think success takes mindset. That "No quit, sink your teeth in, power through until the results come attitude" is in my opinion the only reason people will succeed at anything!
Be stubborn about success. That's the truth!
Thanks for the comments sir, much appreciated!
Thanks Jon!Face the truth thats it!!Good info that make me wake up and follow my taughts i been thinking for long time 95 % crap and BS out there thats way so many poor guys fail they selling crap and most buy the crap thats way walk the other direction.
Thanks Ake, completely agree with those statements. It's the sad fact that most opportunities aren't all what is promised.

Whether good ole' Marky took that very moment to heart we'll never know, but he sure is doing what he can to emulate him, and now, he's working with him!
It used to be an algorithm game; now you can throw math by the way-side, they will have knowledge of just what you and your friends like through your Facebook profiles. The two companies (who started working together four years ago) are basically looking at your Facebook Like buttons you and your friends have clicked, then inserting a module into the search results that spotlights pages they've given a thumbs-up.
This shift into a more integrated and personalized search experience spells a massive chink in the armor of Google. Check out this great article on FastCompany for The Six things you (and Google) should know.

Article Apple
With macOS 11 Big Sur, Apple Travels to the Past to Pave the Future
Harry Marks
I was going to do this in a tweet thread, but then I remembered I pay for a blog and so I should probably use it.
Apple unveiled its latest macOS update, codenamed "Big Sur" -- and "big" it was. It boasts a completely new redesign that brings the look and feel of iPadOS to the Mac like we've never seen before. Rounded rectangle icons, menus and app designs that look like ports of iPad apps (and in some cases, that's exactly what they are), as well as Control Center and Notification Center.
It is, as some have feared, the "iOS-ification" of the Mac.
And it looks awesome.
But not everyone feels that way. Developer Jeff Johnson tweeted the following this evening:
Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X (and NeXTSTEP) were desktop operating systems. They were designed to be desktop operating systems.
What we have now is no longer a desktop OS, and that's why I'm no longer interested. I don't want a "generic" OS. That's not why I switched to Mac.
It's a big leap for longtime fans of the Mac who see iOS as a smaller portion of their daily computing. They don't see the Mac getting better as a result of Big Sur--they see it being sacrificed on the altar of iOS. I, however, disagree. This is the future of the Mac and how the company plans to welcome iOS users into the fold.
Let's face it -- the iPhone is a toaster. It's a refrigerator. Everyone knows how to use it. They know what to expect. Hell, my five year old son knows how to putz around on my iPhone as well as I do. It's...unsettling. Apple nailed it. They did what they've always done dating back to the original Macintosh, to the iPod, and everything in-between: they made a device for the everyperson.
The iPad follows in the iPhone's footsteps. While it's slightly more complicated due to its size and capacity for multiple gestures, the paradigm is familiar. You know how to operate an iPad because you know how to operate an iPhone. The Mac, on the other hand, is another beast entirely. Its interface is drastically different. iPhone users who use Windows on the desktop have no interest in migrating to Mac because it's one more thing to learn. It's another hurdle to jump over. "Can I get my favorite apps on it? Why doesn't it behave like my PC? Why doesn't it work like my phone?"
Well, now it does. Potential Mac users won't see a third computing platform. They'll see that their future computer looks just like their phone, or their iPad. And once Apple migrates to its own silicon, they'll be able to run their favorite phone and tablet apps just about anywhere. Apple did what it always does: it saw the future and it ran straight toward it.
The future is the kid whose first device was an iPhone. The future is the lawyer who loves reading on her iPad, but wants to have a similar experience while working on her laptop. As Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs puts it in the 2013 film Jobs while describing his vision of the Macintosh:
"This thing is for the everyman, right? That is our end user: it's the school teacher. It's the garbage man. It's the kid. It's some grandma out in Nebraska, right? So, we have to make this thing simple. It has to work like an appliance."
That's always been Apple's ethos. Simplicity. Accessibility. An ever-flattening learning curve. Older Mac users may grumble about how their precious operating system has been hijacked, how the simpler it gets, the worse it gets (which I believe speaks to a much more toxic point of view from nerds who enjoy knowing things "regular people" don't), but they're missing the point. Or, perhaps, they've forgotten it: it's not about them anymore.
The torch has been passed to a new generation. iOS wasn't just a catapult to the future of mobile phone technology. It was a glimpse into the future of computing as a whole -- the future of Apple. A future where a "generic" OS would entice "Never Mac-ers" into taking a closer look.
In the Fall of this year, Apple will introduce macOS 11. And you'll see why 2020 will be just like 1984.

This year marks the second edition of Game XP, which is calling itself the 'first Game Park in the World.' Neither a convention nor a theme park, Game XP is a place where people can play games before they're released, watch the biggest pro players in Brazil, and experience their favorite games brought to life.
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – This Thursday, September 6th, Game XP will be transforming Barra's Olympic Park into a huge gaming arena, in what promises to be the biggest gamer event in Brazil. The Game XP festival will continue through the weekend, ending on the evening of Sunday, September 9th.
Last year, Game XP arrived as part of Rock in Rio, but following its huge success, it has now returned as a stand-alone event, photo courtesy of Alexandre Macieira/Riotur.
This promises to be a huge event, which returns to Rio after making its debut during the 2017 edition of Rock in Rio. The organizers are promising something even bigger than last year, with the festival occupying three Olympic arenas and a large outdoor area.
Calling itself 'the world's first Game Park' Game XP will feature four large areas of entertainment and experiences: the Oi Game Arena, GamePlay Arena, Inova Arena and Experience Bay, covering over 100,000 square meters.
There will be a huge variety of attractions, sure to satisfy the most avid gamers of all ages and styles. The organizers are also promising plenty of other attractions to keep any non-gamers entertained too.
There will of course be dedicated E-Sports arenas, demonstrations of unpublished games, freeplay events, talks and workshops on technology and innovation, as well as plenty of opportunities for cosplayers to show off their creations.
For the non-gamers there also promises to be a real amusement park that takes the games from the screens and allows the public to live and enjoy these games in real life. The live-action amusements will include go-karting, football (soccer), dancing, laser tag and even a spiderman challenge.
Anyone who enjoyed the 'Geek & Game Festival' in June will be sure to love this event.

1917, Queen & Slim honored by National Board of Review
by Georgiana E. Presecky
The National Board of Review announced its picks for best movies of 2019 Dec. 3, the first of many organizations who will roll out their awards season winners throughout the month of December.
Very few awards went to female filmmakers, the most notable being Melina Matsoukas winning Best Directorial Debut for Queen & Slim, her box office hit written by Lena Waithe and starring Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith. The film has an 82 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned $15.8 million over Thanksgiving weekend, making it one of the highest-grossing movies in theaters alongside Frozen 2 and Knives Out.
Aleppo-set documentary For Sama won the NBR Freedom of Expression Award. Filmmakers Waad Al-Kateab and Edward Watts were recently named Best Directors at the British Independent Film Awards, where the film also took home the prize for Best British Independent Film – the first documentary to win the honor. It also won Best Documentary and Best Editing.
FF2 Media critic Beatrice Viri calls For Sama "a necessary, real, intimate conversation on the female experience of war" that shows the humanity of Syrians in wartime. Documentaries American Factory and Wrestle were named on the "Top 5 Documentaries" list, but Maiden was ultimately named Best Documentary.
Otherwise, the NBR list of winners is predominantly male, with Martin Scorcese's The Irishman winning Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay and Uncut Gems taking top prizes for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor Adam Sandler.
Renee Zellweger, Kathy Bates, Paul Walter Hauser and Brad Pitt were also honored for their work in Judy, Richard Jewell and Once Upon a Time … In Hollywood, respectively. All three films are directed by men, including NBR's Best Director, Quentin Tarantino.
Roger Deakins was awarded for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for 1917. FF2 Media critic Brigid Presecky said Deakins' work as director of photography allows the audience to "follow along in an incredibly memorable and consistent way, at once immersed in and removed from the obstacles" in the World War I drama. It is the only notable winner with a female screenwriter, Krysty Wilson-Cairns.
1917 was also named one of NBR's "Top Films," along with nine movies written and directed by men.
Of 10 named "Top Independent Films," five are directed by women: The Farewell, Give Me Liberty, The Nightingale, The Souvenir and Wild Rose.
Though Parasite was named Best Foreign Language Film, Atlantics, Invisible Life and Portrait of a Lady on Fire were listed among the top five best of the year.
NBR will host its annual award gala Jan. 8. The "select group" of " film enthusiasts, filmmakers, professionals, academics and students" screens and discusses more than 250 films per year before announcing its honorees, according to nationalboardofreview.org.

My daily routine doesn't consist of much. I hardly get any nice surprises.
When I get up in the morning, I normally have to go on a treasure hunt 🔎 around the house to find my cheetah-skin patterned slippers. They are really fast 💨and it's hard to keep up with them. I knew I should have bought the snail ones; they look ugly but at least I wouldn't have to crawl on the floor with a net just to get them.
After I have my breakfast (breadcrumbs with milk), I go and do some online shopping. I am often interrupted by the winged rat 🐀 that lives in the attic. It occasionally flies down into my computer room 💻 to chew away at the wires. I have tried to dispose of it but doing so has given me a scar on my arm the shape of a wing.
When I finish doing my online shopping, I have a lunch of cereal and jam. I usually unearth some scarab beetle worm cross-breeds lurking in the cereal box. I wonder how they find their way around the house when they are completely blind. If they could move anywhere, why did it have to be my cereal box? Now my cereal has been turned into box-cereal cross-breeds.
Next up after lunch is my afternoon nap. It is very rare that I am not woken up every 5 minutes by the poltergeists 👻 partying in the basement. And when I say partying, I mean throwing chairs and tables, ripping open the walls and creating several explosions. 💥 I must say, poltergeists have a very peculiar daily routine.
Since my afternoon nap doesn't last very long (thanks to the very silly poltergeists), I usually like to watch TV 📺 before having dinner. The shows aren't very interesting; they're things like 'Cures for Magical Maladies' and 'Tara's Transfiguration Tricks!'. If I am overcome by the boredom of these TV shows, I resort to the newspaper. 📰 But, the newspaper likes to play up too. I will sometimes be sucked into the finance column 💰 when money is at an all-time low, or into an exceptionally hard puzzle section. The neighbours get nicer things, like a weather forecast showing that it's going to be sunny all week or a lifetime food discount.
I then go to bed 💤 after having dinner, which is quite the same as breakfast. I toss and turn for hours before going to sleep because of the irritating crushed Brownie sticks under my mattress, put there by Thambletick, the house Brownie. I guess he's still angry at me for accidentally flushing one of his friends down the toilet. 🚽 I have to fish the sticks out with my hands every night. Only then can I get to sleep and dream about what I have to do tomorrow, which is always the same as today.

Hauptman eyeing three priorities for NCUA
(Dec. 18, 2020) Kyle Hauptman, sworn in as the latest (and 24th) member of the NCUA Board this week prior to participation in the Thursday and today's board meetings, said he has three priorities as a board member: managing the fallout from the current pandemic and economic downturn, expanding the role of technology, and aligning incentives.
"Credit unions were chartered to serve those of modest means. I plan to work with credit unions, my fellow board members, and Congress on solutions for those facing financial stress," said Hauptman in a release from NCUA. Echoing comments he made to the Senate Banking Committee last summer during his confirmation hearing, Hauptman added that he wants to "expand technology's role in reaching the underserved because innovation can provide more inclusive financial services.
The newest board member also said that the practice of less-frequent exam cycles for credit unions with the highest marks "will incent them to maintain that benefit and allow the NCUA to focus more of its attention on problematic credit unions."
Hauptman, nominated June 18 to the NCUA Board by President Donald Trump, has most recently served as a staff director for the Senate Banking Committee Economic Policy subcommittee and as an economic policy advisor to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). He worked on the 2016 Trump presidential transition team and served as a policy advisor on financial services for 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney (now a U.S. senator representing Utah).
According to NCUA's release Monday, Hauptman holds a master's in business administration from Columbia Business School and a bachelor of arts from University of California, Los Angeles

In a field of eight active candidates, there were bound to be some Democrats running for governor yesterday that were going to finish way behind–and six of those on the ballot failed to garner double digit support, while Superintendent Tony Evers was over 40%. But it was the candidate that finished third in the race that was the biggest loser of the night.
Kelda Roys–who finished more than 25% behind Evers–literally mortgaged her future to lose this race. Roys took out a 235-thousand dollar second mortgage on her home to fund much of her campaign. That self-donation made it look like Roys had a strong campaign going–giving her the fundraising lead at one point in the race. But it was just a matter of time before Daniel Bice at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel would have someone drop a dime on Roys and reveal that she really didn't raise that much on her own.
You may recall that I ran–unsuccessfully–for the State Assembly in 2010. I gave just one-thousand dollars to my campaign–despite plenty of requests from people in the party to contribute more. I just could not justify dipping any further into our personal savings to pursue a job that paid about $50-thousand dollars–and was not guaranteed for any more than two years at a time. Roys chose to borrow 235-thousand dollars–on top of the 390-thousand dollar mortgage she and her husband had refinanced three years ago–to run for an office that pays only about half that annually.
So now Roys and her husband are upside down on their house–owing at least 625-thousand on property assessed at about half a million–and she didn't come close to winning. Such financial irresponsibility should have disqualified her from consideration in running for any office–but as a Democrat, her supporters likely don't know the first thing about economics or personal finance–so they were still cool with it.
Roys promises to remain active in politics and will campaign on behalf of Tony Evers. But she has forfeited her claims to be a "struggling, working mother" in any stump speech for any office that she may seek in the future. Roys made a decision to saddle her family with considerable debt just to further her personal political ambitions. So there is no way she can talk about "having to make choices between new outfits and clothes for her kids" or not having the means to pay for medical bills. And she should certainly not put herself out there as an "inspiration for other women"–because no mother should make such foolish choices to literally take money away from the kids that she claims to care so much about.


Specsavers in Hexham recently welcomed a group of children from Belarus into the store for free eye tests.
The children were in the UK on a recuperative holiday, organised by charity Chernobyl Children's Life Line, which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of children still suffering from the aftermath of the 1986 explosion.
The four-week visits, spent with local families, are said to boost the children's immune systems for at least two years, helping them to resist or recover from serious illness.
Pauline Wellstead, director of Specsavers in Hexham, said: 'We were humbled to have the opportunity to help children affected by the disaster in Chernobyl.


The Breakers Palm Beach has mastered the delicate balance of offering a legendary experience while always surprising with something new. This approach extends to its retail strategy, which the resort strives to constantly evolve to cater to the personal needs of guests, club members, and local residents. In addition, The Breakers works closely with buyers to continually update its retail options, as well as with MDG Advertising to market the resort as a contemporary shopping destination. The Palm Beach Daily News recently reported on how this retail strategy is presenting great success.
The Breakers offers a unique collection of world-class boutiques and specialty shops, all wholly owned and operated, from recognized brands like Ralph Lauren and Guerlain, to signature stores like Absolutely Suitable, The Breakers News & Gourmet, and the Signature Shop. Shoppers appreciate the wide array of clothing, jewelry, fragrance, leather goods, lifestyle accessories, resort wear, children's apparel, gifts, and more.
In recent years, their retail strategy has been refined to move away from the industry standard of leasing arrangements with fashion houses, which result in the need to share both control and profits. Their current focus is on combining branded merchandise with their own unique concepts to provide customers with an exclusive, one-of-a-kind shopping experience.
The resort's most recent retail evolutions have included the refocusing of one major boutique and the addition of two. In its Absolutely Suitable swimwear shop, the resort has expanded the store's offerings in response to customer demand. The shop has tripled its variety of sunglasses, brought in more poolside apparel, and added more casual handbags and totes.
One of the most highly anticipated debuts was the opening of Lilly Pulitzer® at The Breakers, featuring the whimsical and colorful style of the brand that captures the Palm Beach lifestyle. The boutique features a large selection of women's apparel and accessories, as well as men's neck ties.
The other exciting debut was Match at The Breakers,® a shoe salon featuring a collection of contemporary and designer resort-style footwear. The boutique boasts an impressive selection from designers and labels that are difficult to find anywhere else on Palm Beach. Most of the styles are designed for women, but there also is an array for fashionable men.
By constantly evolving and catering to guests' needs, The Breakers has expanded its appeal beyond a resort to become one of Palm Beach's premier shopping destinations.

Notre Dame at Texas, 7:30 p.m. Sunday, ABC
SOUTH BEND —Notre Dame wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. is eager to make a name for himself. No offense to dad.
Hunter is the son of a popular former major league outfielder who has the same name. The younger Hunter is eager to become well known in his own right.
"That's probably one of my biggest motivators," he said. "I'm definitely trying to make a name for myself and not necessary live in the shadow of my father as Torii Hunter's son. You want to be your own person and not always have that attachment to your father. He's a great guy, but you want to be your own person."
The 6-foot, 195-pound senior should get his chance this season. After playing a supporting role last season to first-round NFL draft pick Will Fuller and Chris Brown, Hunter heads into Sunday's season opener against Texas as the most experienced receiver for the 10th-ranked Fighting Irish.
That's not saying a lot. No other returning Irish wide receiver had more than one catch last season. Coach Brian Kelly believes Hunter will play well, but said there are still questions.
"We're not ready to put him up in the category of All-American. He's got to go prove himself," Kelly said.
Hunter was Notre Dame's most versatile receiver last season, playing all three receiver positions, and finished fourth in catches with 28 catches for 363 yards and two touchdowns. He played primarily in the slot last season. This season he's expected to play outside where Fuller had 62 catches for 1,258 yards and 14 touchdowns.
DeShone Kizer, who will be sharing quarterback duties with Malik Zaire against Texas, said while Hunter doesn't have Fuller's speed, he has other skills.
"Coming from the slot receiver, he's learned to be fearless. He's learned to run full speed where there are a lot of big guys," Kizer said.
Hunter sat out his freshman season because of a slow-healing broken leg sustained in high school and missed the first three games of his sophomore season with a torn groin muscle. He's seen his role and confidence grow steadily since. He believes he's ready for a big season.
"I'm definitely a lot stronger than last year. I feel smarter. That just comes with age and just being here," he said. "I'm feeling confident. It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun to go out there and just see what I know and what plays I can make."
Hunter, who is from Prosper, Texas, 30 miles north of Dallas, said he was a Longhorns fan and interested in playing at Texas, but wasn't aware he had been offered a scholarship until he received a letter from the coaches saying they were disappointed he had committed to Notre Dame. He also said that after watching the Longhorns beat New Mexico during a visit in 2012 he was disappointed Texas coaches didn't spend time with him.
"Mack Brown came out of media, he shook my hand and said, 'Glad to see you,' and just kind of walked by. That's kind of how it went," he said.
Hunter is a two-sport athlete, playing 19 games for the Irish baseball team last spring. He played primarily as a defensive replacement and a pinch runner, making just one start. Despite batting just .182, he was a 23rd-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Angels and signed a contract in June.
For now he's focused on showing what he can do in football.
"I've got to deliver. The team is counting on me. They named me a captain for a reason. So I've got to go out there and lead whether it's verbally or just going out there and making plays," he said.


This time, you won't avoid your punishment. Have you been told when to come? Farmed fish are cheaper than wild ones and the taste is only "so-so". They fled the town after the earthquake. I live about a mile from here. Have you got something for me? Everybody must know. It's official. Now my daughter is afraid of me. Come into the room.
We don't even know what time we're supposed to be there yet. He became so ill that he died two hours later. We're going to travel along the river until the sea. Is it always so awful in April? Stop looking at that girl. Neville advised Linder not to drive too fast in a school zone. Sofoklis hung his coat on one of the hooks near the door. Who'll pay for that? That book, which I read last week, is great. We'll all miss you.
We used to fight. The boy took the radio apart. I just started crying. Organic agriculture is a method of growing plants (grains, legumes, fruit) without chemicals. My father was a tree. He is working hard in order to pass the entrance examination. He loves to watch playoff basketball. Scot says he doesn't know what Mario wants to do. We don't go to school on Shabbat. It's a very serious problem.
We need to preserve democracy even with depleted uranium bombs. I experimented on animals. Generally speaking, Japanese are hard workers. I don't know what he's talking about. They kept singing until a rescue team came. Are these all Suu's books? Taking everything into consideration, the result is better than I expected. Would you mind if we join you? I wonder why women don't go bald. It was not until the next day that they found her.
Norman is quite resourceful. What day of the week is Tuesday? Paola broke his arm. I think that a new fruit drink will go over big during the summer. Have you seen any English travelers here? I'm still studying French. Marty is missing the point. I'm not ashamed of what I did. Someone had to be blamed. I was scared.
Stevan suffers from a herniated cervical disc. I wonder what Bert is going to do with his old motorcycle. The reason was unclear. He finally bent to my wishes. The bronze statue looks quite nice from a distance. He can't resist sweets. He fell prey to an impulse to steal. What kind of monkeys are those? And just like that, Dima's childhood friend hung up, leaving Dima - as he was before - 99 kopeks short of his goal. Why do you do that?
Stay away from my daughter. I know about him. If you had a million dollars, what would you do? Today was still tomorrow yesterday, but today will be yesterday tomorrow. We'll be here. The dog was busy burying his bone in the garden. It is not clear when the meeting will open again. Is it a threat? I'll tell Andrea we'll pick him up. There is no reason why I shouldn't do it.
He was fired for being an incompetent worker. I don't agree with it. What gives you the right to ask? Get to sleep. Let's go and sit in the shade. I'm taking a different approach. The Metro map is easy to follow. Tell me how the robbery went down. His socks are gray. The temperature went down ten degrees.
I'm not all that busy right now. Don't do anything strenuous tonight. There's a package for Pierette on my desk. You only see what you know. If you want to tell Helen, tell him. I am hungry! Tickets are available for free at the information desk. Not every book on the desk belongs to me. I no longer love Pablo. I would be indignant (whenever people spoke hardly of me).
The situation is dire. Did you get the gift I sent you? You have more energy than I do. I've never done it this way before. We can spend the night in that hostel. The people who were involved in Pierrette's death do not have the slightest regrets. He disclosed his intentions. Let's not invite him. In Esperanto, the penultimate syllable is stressed. They know who they are.
