CultureExperiencesLeadershipRecognition
Being nice is not enough to ensure inclusion
Eradicating workplace discrimination essentialists a strong need for inclusive leadership and a vision to 'be' what you 'see'.
Creating the conditions for increasing levels of inclusion is no "walk in the park"; many of you reading this can attest to that. To successfully lead for inclusion, the "do what I say" approach is woefully deficient. Inclusive leadership necessitates role modeling and embodying the messages of inclusion. For all of us, this means that when others are on the receiving end of you, they encounter through your leadership, experiences of increasing voice, choices and opportunities; they feel in themselves that something liberating is happening.
I sat recently with our facilitators to discuss the work of Building Leadership for Inclusion. Our facilitators had been working with stakeholder groups, made up of people who have experience of being excluded and marginalized because of their disability, gender, race or sexuality.
To successfully lead for inclusion, the 'do what I say' approach is woefully deficient.
As the conversation progressed, we noticed that there were some themes coming to the fore that needed to be better understood before being responded to. The shared principle of understanding first, and then responding, meant the conversation required time, and for each person to invest the best quality of their attention to what others were saying.
What emerged from this was a collective appreciation of what we needed to pay attention to; what patterns were emerging, and importantly each person recognized the need to step out of our comfort zones, to explore new territory.
Marginalized and excluded people are constantly being told by others that they're mistaken about their day to day realities of discrimination. Leaders may respond in ways which deny discrimination for several reasons, including:
Finding it difficult to speak about discrimination with those who are experiencing it, partly because they've had little practice in having these conversations
A misplaced sense of disloyalty towards colleagues whose behaviors are being called out (even more risky if this is someone more senior)
Being unclear about their own responsibilities to promote inclusion, and the duty of care they have towards their staff
Not having the development or support they need to lead more inclusively
Holding to positions that deny the experiences of others in this way can thwart organizational inclusion aspirations. It sends the message to those who experience discrimination that it's far too hazardous to speak up about it.
We need to grow leadership capabilities that result in people from different backgrounds having positive workplace experiences. Leadership is about relationships. Through this frame, it ceases to be about job role or hierarchy. It's about the connections that we make with others, connections where people notice and feel that something is inspiring them to want to follow.
We need to grow leadership capabilities that result in people from different backgrounds having positive workplace experiences.
The plumb-line for the extent to which we're exercising inclusive leadership is not our own subjective – and at times overly valued – barometers on self. It's the experiences of your lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender staff, and what they encounter on your watch. It's the extent to which your female colleagues feel empowered to speak, know they're being heard, and having their contributions acknowledged. It's the extent to which disabled staff feel able to say that the level of accommodation currently being made for their disability is way too low, and know that this will be positively responded to.
It's the degree to which Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff feel assured that in telling their stories about discrimination, they won't subsequently be negatively labelled, and receive even worse treatment, as a result of being courageous and speaking out. We can only know these things if staff trust us enough to tell us about them.
When we're lost on a journey, it's vital first of all to locate where "here" is. Once "here" has been established, we can work out how we're going to get to "there". Questions that might help us to recognize the features of "here" in terms of inclusion might be…
What is it about my own identity that influences my experiences?
How are my experiences differing from others with different identities?
How am I making sense of the stories and experiences of others?
What important patterns are emerging about "here", when viewed through the lens of inclusion?
What is informing how privilege and power are showing up "here"?
How are differing forms of power at work to bring about the inclusion outcomes that we see "here"?… and so on
Once we have done this work, we can begin to appreciate more fully that there is a "there" that we haven't reached yet. The astronaut Sally Ride importantly points out that "you can't be what you can't see". The veracity of these words takes on new meanings when applied to leading change on inclusion. We need to "see" the changes we're wanting to make, because for many, we have not experienced enough of what "there" could be like, to have fully formed this vision.
Leaders can only address discrimination by building positive, trustful and inclusive relationships across difference; there's no short cut.
If as a leader you've had historically poor relationships with staff from marginalized or excluded groups (and by poor, I mean that you've failed to build positive, trustful relationships and people are fearful about calling out discrimination in your leadership practice); you're most certainly not the first or the last to be in this position; however in service of inclusion, you cannot remain in this space.
Change is both possible and achievable. No matter what the starting point is, a willingness to change is a powerful motivator.
When staff are telling you they're experiencing discrimination, no amount of positive posturing, fine sounding words or novel gestures will address it. Leaders can only address discrimination by building positive, trustful and inclusive relationships across difference; there's no short cut. For example, no amount of being nice to BAME staff can eliminate racism. Niceness has nothing to offer in transforming cultures that exclude.

The Western PA Conference - Pass the Plate!
Giving is down in most local churches. Church leaders and "stewardship experts" cite several reasons for this. I've done a lot of reading, studying and speaking about stewardship, and while all the usual reasons given are valid, I think there's more to it.
What I've seen while visiting local churches has prompted some wrestling with God over the way we receive –or don't receive—offerings during our worship services. Gone are the days when we gave by passing the plate or basket across pews filled with worshippers who come every week. Today's giving opportunities and strategies, while convenient for those who prefer electronic giving or can't attend each week, have resulted in an "offering time" that is awkward and clumsy for worshippers and ushers alike.
I've seen ushers who won't let go of the plate, but walk about the sanctuary "collecting" from some people and not noticing others trying to get their attention because they want to give. Worshippers aren't sure whether to pass the plate or not. It looks and feels as if we are begging for people to "maybe" put something into the offering plate. Even at times when our churches are full, some people don't have an opportunity to give because we lost the art of passing the plate long ago.
I wonder if all of these factors contribute to lack of stewardship in our churches. Are we making what should be an act of worship simply a financial transaction?
I've been praying about ways we can redeem and reclaim acts of giving by adopting a different approach. I am convinced there is a better way – a way that matches the theology that we are stewards of all that God has given to us and returning thanks through an offering as an act of worship can be a sacramental moment.
Can we teach and allow everyone to see this time during worship as an opportunity to offer something – even ourselves—to God, regardless of whether they physically put something in the plate as it is passed? Simply touching the plate could be a reminder that we all have something to offer, even ourselves.
What if passing the plate was an opportunity for you pray? For me – passing the plate to everyone gives everyone the opportunity to participate in the sacramental moment of giving, regardless of what they put in the plate.
Something like this can be said every week. It is a simple stewardship moment. It emphasizes our theology. It is educational. It reminds our members of their need to give, and illustrates what it means to give of themselves.
I believe very strongly that we need to provide multiple opportunities to give and not expect all financial gifts to be placed in the offering. But, giving as an act of worship, should not be lost. Let's begin to share a deeper theology of giving with our people and our visitors by making the offering time more than a financial transaction. When we do, I think there can be something incredible about an act of giving once again.


Eminence Clear Skin Probiotic Masque – I tried a sample after getting an Eminence facial (highly recommend!!) and I was very impressed. Eminence products are very effective and are made with the best fresh ingredients. Lactic acid, kaolin clay, tea tree, antioxidants are just some of the many key ingredients that work together to bring down inflammation and help relieve acneic skin. Use as directed for only 5-10 minutes. Even if you feel like its still really working, make sure to wash it off for the best results. This mask brought down inflammation and helped a few pimples disappear. Its a bit on the pricey side, but if you've literally tried it all – this will be worth it.
Peter Thomas Roth Acne-Clear Invisible Dots – Unfortunately only available at the U.S. Sephora, these babies are magic little workers. I find these work best on very deep and stubborn pimples – those ones that you have to wait forever to come to a head. All you have to do is sticker one on a pimple (clean skin) and leave it on – overnight or all through the day. They are clear so you can actually see your stubborn pimple dying 🙂 They are highly addictive so I recommend you buy the big pack! This is amazing for someone who loves to pick at pimples. Don't pick at it as it will scar which will last much much longer if not permanently! Just put a sticker on it and forget about it!
Andalou Blue Geranium Creamy Clay Mask – Unfortunately, this item is discontinued! But its an excellent clarifying mask with geranium. Geranium oil is antiseptic and helps with controlling bacteria. It is also tightening and cooling which makes your skin feel less irritated. This mask is discontinued, but I have seen it at local health food stores that stock Andalou. Also the price can't be beat!
Hydrate your skin and drink water – Load up on that hyaluronic acid! I know you really don't need me to tell you that, but right now its important to drink double to really clear up your skin.
Take fish or salmon oil supplements – This is more long term but I calmed down my breakouts by balancing out the bad acne causing oils with good oils, like salmon oil. Read more about my acne clearing journey in the #NoCleanserChallenge routine.
Reduce dairy and sugar intake – This is a big one for me. Both of them cause inflammation.
Don't touch your face – I struggle with this one a lot. I always catch myself touching my face while sitting in traffic, watching tv, etc. Don't spread that bacteria.
Splash your face with ice cold water. Many times. – You want to reduce inflammation as much as possible. As well as tighten your pores and this really does help.
Change your pillowcase, towels, anything that touches your face – Removing any possibility of transferring bacteria is very important.
Bacne? Get a back scrub brush and a good soap – Conditioner from your hair drips on to the skin on your back and its likely you can't reach far enough to scrub away that conditioner. Get a back scrubber with a long handle and make sure to really clean after washing your hair.
Don't pick at it – I promise you that the massive throbbing pimple is the absolute least of your worries if you have untreatable scars on your face from picking at a pimple that would have eventually gone away. You will be kicking yourself after, I promise.
Watch some Dr. Pimple Popper videos on YouTube – There is almost nothing less appealing than watching a cyst being drained. After force watching some of those videos, I start to gag at the thought of picking at my own face.
Stop focusing on it – There is really no point in getting stressed over a pimple if it was stress that put it there in the first place. Watch some Chelsea Handler and chill out for a minute.
Keep calm and don't pick at it.

'Outlander' Season 2 Episode 2 Recap: Not in Scotland Anymore
By LRShive on April 16, 2016 Featured, TV, TV Show Recaps
Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) and Duverney (Marc Duret) in 'Outlander' (Photo © 2016 Sony Pictures Television Inc.)
Vive Les Frasers!!! The name of Outlander episode 2 in season 2 is 'Not in Scotland Anymore,' oh boy I'll say! France could not be more polar opposite from Scotland, and the ruling class is THAT on steroids. All the external changes are troubling enough; while Jamie (Sam Heughan) is dealing with post-traumatic stress after his torture at the hands of Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies).
The episode opens with what you think is Jamie and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) finally having marital relations again, when suddenly Claire turns into Black Jack begging for more. Jamie pulls a dirk from somewhere unknown and starts stabbing him. Blood covers Jamie's face, then Jamie wakes up in a cold sweat and breathing hard. He realizes it is a dream when Claire touches him and he actively tries NOT to recoil from her touch. He decides he will not go back to sleep so he should head down stairs to review some paperwork. Claire tries to reassure him that BJR is dead. Jamie admits he knows that, he just doesn't know how to get him out of his head.
The next morning Claire is preparing to head out. The costumes in this episode are just astonishing. Claire steps out of her room in what is known as The Dior dress, a 1740s reversal on the 1940s version of a Dior original. The costume department, and more particularly Terry Dresbach, have outdone themselves. The 1940s took many of their fashion inspirations from 1740s France, so Terry and her team turned it right back around to create much of Claire's wardrobe. The sets, created by Jon Gary Steele and his team, are so incredible and exact to the moment that you will not be able to keep from feeling you are back in the court of the King Louis XV of France.
Okay, enough fangirl gushing…back to Claire's outing. As you follow Claire through the house you realize she is very much a fish out of water. Having come through World War II, and now the mud and roads of Scotland, Claire has not had the duty of running a formal household, especially complete with servants. The Lady's maid, Suzette (Adrienne-Marie Zitt), is too cute begging for her to be more of a mess. I found myself wishing I had one of those – a daydream that most any mom has had, I'm sure. As Claire travels through the streets she contemplates her last visit during the end of WWII and the celebrations that took place at the war's closing. She also thought of the revolution that was to come in this very same city just a few decades from where she is now.
Time passes so much quicker on the show, of course, than in the books. Many activities occurred between the timing of episode 1 ('Through A Glass, Darkly') and the timing of this episode. Nothing is made of Claire's morning sickness, but the books put heavy emphasis on this daily exhaustive ritual in the cycle of bringing a baby into the world. Many other activities happen before Claire takes her first trip to the Apothecary and meets Master Raymond (Dominique Pinon). In the show, Jamie's nightmares motivate her to seek herbs she does not have. This shop is just a feast for the eyes, even more so than how I pictured it in the books. Jon Gary Steele really did hide treasures in every corner of this room, as well as openly hangs an alligator from the ceiling. *snort*
Claire charms Master Raymond with her knowledge of herbs and ability to understand several of his tricks for the public. They take an instant liking to each other. He also lets her know that he has heard of her through the dust-up with Le Comte St. Germain (Stanley Weber). Claire fears he would be friends with Le Comte, but Master Raymond assures her that they are not friends, and thus it should mean that she and he can be.
Jamie is outside the house on a task of his own, with Murtagh (Duncan Lacroix). They are practicing swords, trying to strengthen Jamie's hand. This was not in the books, but the book did reference to the fact that they did practice a lot and it helped to strengthen Jamie's hand again. Murtagh gets far more time in the show than he was given in the books. My theory is because you can see more of Jamie's encounters than just everything through Claire's first person perspective as the book has it. I like the wider view of things, hence my pointing it out.
Murtagh always makes me laugh with his surly attitude; he is less than gentlemanly when he tells the gawkers standing nearby to go away. Murtagh wants to devise a plan to kill the Bonnie Prince outright and not mess with all this strategy and secrecy. Jamie, ever level-headed, points out the lack of logic in the plan.
As they return home, Jamie has a letter waiting that came for him from Jared. He has arranged an introduction with the Prince himself. The catch is that Prince Charles Edward Stewart (Andrew Gower) wants to meet in a brothel. That will make things nice and complicated for Jamie since he hasn't been able to make love to Claire in quite a long time.
I do not possess the words to accurately describe the scene inside the doors of the establishment. You can easily see Jamie and Murtagh are highly uncomfortable as the women walk around running a hand down their arm or over their shoulders. Prince Charles is drinking it all in with his eyes, as well as the decanter of wine on the table. The Madame Elise (Michele Belgrand-Hodgson) of the house walks in to welcome the nobility in the room to her establishment and says for them to also welcome THEIR WIVES. All of the men with current occupants on their laps, remove the draped lady with gasps and eager eyes searching the room. Prince Charles knows it is a joke so he begins to laugh, as does Jamie to please the Prince. The rest of the room realizes the display was a rouse and other ladies of the night come in, half clad, to call everyone naughty and such. The Madam of the house peddles the additional commodity of the establishment, TOYS.
Once the fun has been had the Prince and Jamie get down to the discussion at hand. The Prince wants to feel out if Jamie will give him an honest answer. Jamie does tell him that the clans are not united, much less ready for a rebellion. Prince Charles is surprised to hear this, and he was noticeably dismayed by this news. Murtagh helps Prince Charles to understand that the Scottish people are simple people, so he will need to see things differently than the way other advisers have been whispering in his ear. Prince Charles feels it is God's will to unite the clans and be placed back on the throne. (Odd sentiment coming from a man sitting in the middle of a brothel, but that is a personal opinion.) He does realize he has to have funds, so the Prince asks Jamie to go to court and enlist the help of the Minister of Finance to the King. Further work will have to be done to stop the rebellion, the Bonnie Prince is not listening to anyone but God, so Jamie and company will have to go to the court to prevent support for the Prince's financial needs.
Claire has a new found friend that can help get them to the court and to the ears of those that can aid in the prevention of the rebellion. Claire's friend, Louise de Rohan (Claire Sermone), is getting her legs waxed. She explains to Claire that she would love to introduce Lady Broch Tuarach to the court. Then she calls in Mary Hawkins (Rosie Day) to meet Claire. Mary is very shy, the exact opposite of Louise. Claire recognizes the name, but doesn't place it yet. The book readers know why Mary is so pivotal, but the show will reveal all in time. Louise tells Claire she will introduce her to the best dressmaker in Paris, she must have something spectacular when she meets the King. Then Louise spreads her legs to allow the waxing of her hairiest part. Claire stares in amazement, poor Mary looks like she will faint dead away.
Now comes the chat most of the book readers fondly call the "honeypot" discussion. In the show Claire actually gets her honeypot shaved too, in the book she only had the legs done but it upset Jamie enough just for her to have the legs done. In the show, Claire takes Jamie's hand and moves it down her body. Of course Jamie is nervous given his nightmares of BJR, so he looks less than ready for what she is voicelessly asking for. As his hand reaches the area between her legs his expression changes to that of major surprise. Claire asks if Jamie would like to see what it looks like. Now there is a new line that I love… Jamie says, "It is more complicated than it looks thatched over." *giggle-snort* You think they are going to get down to what fans have waited for, but as activities start to get hot things take a turn for the worse. Jamie starts having flashes of BJR that stop him mid-motion. Claire tells him it is okay, but Jamie is still very disturbed by it all.
A couple of weeks later the Fraser party is on their way to Versailles. Jamie and Murtagh are waiting at the bottom of the stairs as Claire comes down in the much anticipated Red Dress. At first you think the gentlemen think she looks beautiful, but then Jamie asks her if she is "mad". He says the iconic line that he can see down to the third rib. The fashion of the time is very low cut for women's gowns. The idea is to catch the eye of the King and the court, but Jamie is none too happy with this approach. When you see the King's mistress, Claire's gown is not so daring after all.

As they enter the room an old friend of Jamie's bursts into his arms, Annalise de Marillac (Margaux Chatelier). The look on Claire's face is priceless. He is forced to explain how he fought a duel for her. You can feel Jamie's embarrassment during the entire exchange. {more giggles here} Annalise whisks him away to take him to watch the dressing of the King. Murtagh grumbles that he sure "wouldn't want to miss that." I just love that bearded curmudgeon. They come into the presence of the King of France, Louis XV (Lionel Lingelser). In a room full of gentlemen, the King is sitting on a throne (in both senses of the term), trying to move his bowels with no luck. I just love how they start offering the King advice on how to get things moving. Our always gallant Jamie offers up that the King should start each day with a bowl of porridge. Fiber is a constipated man's friend, little does the King know.
Out in the main room with the other guests Claire is chatting with other court Ladies when she sees Mary speaking to a young gentleman. She doesn't know who he is but is pleased to see Mary smiling for the first time. She then excuses herself to get some air. Louise notices the Minister of Finance, Monsieur Joseph Duverney (Marc Duret), across the room and rushes over to tell him that Lady Broch Tuarach is looking for him with desires to meet him. He takes this in an entirely lecherous way, his alcohol intake helps in this perspective, and he sets out to meet up with her. Claire seeks to find a nice place to sit down, and has only been at her ease for a minute when the Minister found her. He introduces himself, but is rather hands-y. He kneels down at her feet. The next thing she knows he takes her foot and begins kissing it, Claire protesting all the way. {insert more giggle-snorts here} Claire finally pushes him off when he raises up to attempt to kiss at her open bodice, and he bumps into Jamie as he stumbles back. Jamie throws him off the bridge about the second Claire is trying to tell him that he is the man they came to find. A waterlogged Minster of Finance exits the lake below the bridge a bit soberer and certainly humbler in countenance.
He begs their pardon and they pleasantly oblige. As they are all standing before the fire, and the Minister is trying to dry his water soaked wig, the King walks up behind them. He is accompanied by his mistress, Madame Nesle de la Tourelle (Kimberly Smart), wearing the long awaited nipple dress. The designs on the dress are amazing, once you get past the fact that her breasts are exposed above the bodice with swan designed nipple piercings. The look on Murtagh's face is just too hilarious to describe. She gives Murtagh a look of interest, and that is the first time I have seen Murtagh give a delighted smile to any woman. Jamie is about to die of embarrassment. I have to admit I busted out laughing at this entire exchange.
Then the smirk turned to rage on Murtagh's face as he noticed the Duke of Sandringham (Simon Callow) across the room. The paper that was to give Jamie his freedom in Scotland was given to Black Jack, and he burned it right in Jamie's face during his torture. After a pleasant {said in all sarcasm} exchange, Claire asks Jamie to take Murtagh to have a drink with their new friend, the Minister of Finance. After they leave, Claire certainly calls the Duke out for his bad deeds. Then the aid to the Duke walks up. Claire discovers that this is none other than the younger brother to the notorious Black Jack Randall, it is Alex Randall (Laurence Dobiesz). In the book they meet this man in a different way. He looks far more like BJR, and fans were hoping that Tobias Menzies was to play a third role in the show because of the way it is done in the book, but the show handles it differently. Jamie has not seen or met him yet, but Claire now has. Alex is a much nicer person than his elder brother, and weaker of constitution. He is repeatedly coughing and Claire offers a suggestion of an herb to sooth his throat. Alex and the Duke tell Claire that Jack Randall is not dead as Claire and Jamie thought after the escape of the prison. And Claire has no idea how she will tell Jamie that his nightmare still lives. Our poor Nighean Donn.

GOLD is a fair adventure drama, well-produced in 1974, done on location in South Africa. Taken from one of the lesser novels of co-scripter Wilbur Smith, it deals with a plot by an international financial syndicate to flood a major mine and drive up the price of gold, whence they make a killing. If a thousand workers drown as a result, well, that's Big Business.
Playing the bad guys, Bradford Dillman does another of his specialties as a conniving weasel, and John Gielgud is once more allowed to be heartlessly supercilious. Ray Milland has the most colorful gig as the crusty zillionaire who owns the mine, and Roger Moore, as his engineer and the hero of the piece is, if not exactly dynamic, less affected than usual, and this rates as one of his better performances. He does some off-site drilling of his own (did I just write that?) with Dillman's sultry, frustrated wife–well played by Susannah York (she had the Sultry Frustration Market locked for around ten years).
It's a bit lengthy at two hours, but the scenics of Johannesburg and surroundings are fresh, the pulsating music of Elmer Bernstein moves things along and the finale offers a pretty decent amount of suspense and excitement. It drew an Oscar nomination for the song "Wherever Love Takes Me", but that's bested by the lusty title number. Directed by Peter Hunt, featuring Simon Sabela, Bernard Horsfall, Marc Smith and Tony Beckley.

Hey everyone! Long time no chat! I remember you KEBSD!
I says last time I logged in was in 2008, I had forgotten about this site. Accidently stumbled onto it. Was amazed I still remembered my password. I do miss VMK, it was such a fun part of my life. And I had such cool friends here. So just in case, hi Jemm, Cool, Bug, Ann and everyone else. And quick update, yes I'm fine, going to start driving soon, Blue moved away, but only an hour away or so. He visits often. I'm sure he says hi to everyone also.

Nunes also claims in the 40-page lawsuit, dated Monday and filed in the Virginia Circuit Court in Henrico County on Tuesday, that Twitter sought to influence his 2018 reelection race and interfere with his investigation into Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and Russian involvement in the 2016 elections. Nunes oversaw that inquiry as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee — a role he held until Democrats officially retook the House in January.
Among the suit's defendants are a Twitter user purporting to be the congressman's mother, a Twitter user operating an account called "Devin Nunes' cow" and GOP communications strategist Liz Mair.
The suit references various messages critical of Nunes posted to the defendants' accounts, as well as other accounts — including "Fire Devin Nunes" and "Devin Nunes' Grapes" — "whose sole purpose was (and is) to publish and republish (tweet and retweet) false and defamatory statements about Nunes," the suit alleges.
"The substance and timing of the tweets, retweets, replies and likes by Mair, Devin Nunes' Mom and Devin Nunes' cow demonstrates that all three bad actors were and are engaged in a joint effort, together and with others, to defame Nunes and interfere" with his congressional duties, Nunes' attorney claimed in the suit.
"The full scope of the conspiracy, including the names of all participants and the level of involvement of donors and members of the Democratic Party, is unknown at this time and will be the subject of discovery in this action," the complaint says.
Nunes on Monday evening warned that his litigation "is the first of many lawsuits that are coming," arguing that Americans' "First Amendment rights are at stake" because of Twitter's actions.
Mair, a self-described libertarian Republican who was the online communications director for the Republican National Committee in 2008, formed the anti-Trump Super Pac Make America Awesome in late 2015. On Tuesday, she tweeted an initial response to being sued by Nunes.
A close ally of the president, Nunes has been the target of criticism over the past two years for his cozy relationship with the White House while overseeing the House's investigation into Russian election meddling, which Democrats accuse him of inappropriately politicizing.
Republicans have long been incensed by what they view as Twitter's partisan double standards for policing content on the site. Lawmakers in September called the company's CEO, Jack Dorsey, to Capitol Hill, where he denied in two high-stakes hearings that his service suppresses conservative voices.
CORRECTION: Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misidentified the court where Rep. Devin Nunes' lawsuit was being filed. It is the Virginia Circuit Court in Henrico County.


Welcome to the first "Wake Dems Weekly Update." Our goal is to connect our members to some of the issues being debated at the NC General Assembly. We are watching. We want you to join us!
GOP-sponsored HB 704 - Divide School Systems/Study Committee, a bill to study breaking up large school districts, was referred to the House Committee on Education-K-12. Rep. Chris Malone (R-Wake), a former Wake County School Board member, is a primary sponsor, and former school board chair Ron Margiotta said he favors this idea. But current school board chair Monika Johnson-Hostler pointed to the ability to share resources and maintain diversity in our merged district. Read more here.
SB 325 - Billion Dollar Middle-Class Tax Cut passed the Senate and now resides in the House Rules Committee. Sen. Chad Barefoot (R-Wake) is a cosponsor. NC Policy Watch explains, "Proponents of the bill claim that the tax cuts are targeted to middle-income taxpayers, but this is not the case. The majority of the net benefits for the tax cuts will go to the highest income earners in the state. Simply put, this bill is not a billion dollar middle class tax cut, despite the title of the bill. This is a false claim that becomes apparent upon a deeper analysis of the bill." Read more here.
CONGRATULATIONS to Rep. Cynthia Ball (D-Wake) on her very first bill HB 84 - DL/Deaf or Hard of Hearing Designation that passed the House unanimously. This bill would allow a person to designate on their driver's license that they or deaf or hard of hearing, if they wish.
HB 780 - Uphold Historical Marriage Act introduced by Reps. Michael Speciale (R-New Bern), Larry Pittman (R-Cabarrus), and Carl Ford (R-Rowan) claims that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows gay marriage is not valid in North Carolina. House Speaker Tim Moore quickly released a statement that the bill would not be heard because of "strong constitutional concerns." Rep. Pittman took to his Facebook page to respond to the nationwide criticism that followed the bill introduction. As clarification, he compared Hitler to Abraham Lincoln.


One of the things that I really do not like in Firefox is that Mozilla still did not find a way to block the automatic installation of extensions in the browser. Many security programs but also other Internet and even non-Internet related programs add add-ons to Firefox during their installation on the system which I consider a security risk as users do not have a say in the matter.
Google announced a new feature for Google Chrome 25 today that is implementing exactly that feature in the browser. Chrome up until now supported the silent installation of extensions in the browser on Windows using the Registry of the system. Originally designed for extension deployment in company networks, the feature has been used by software companies to add extensions to the Chrome web browser without the user's knowledge nor consent.
This will no longer be possible from Google Chrome 25 which is currently available in the Dev channel. While it may take a couple of months before the feature will make it into the stable channel, the version of the browser that is used by the majority of users, it is an important security addition that users can look forward to.
Two new features have been added to Chrome 25. The first disables extensions that get installed via third party programs by default. Extensions can still get installed in the browser but instead of being active by default, they are not active and it is up to the user of the browser to activate them or delete them right away in the extension manager.
A badge will be displayed that users can click on to display the installation information in the Chrome browser. Chrome informs you about the extension, its access rights and provides you with direct options to enable the extension or remove it from the browser.
Another program on your computer added an extension that may change the way Chrome works.
If you do not pay attention to that dialog then, you can always visit the Chrome extension manager to enable or remove it manually from there. Since it is disabled by default, it won't affect the system until you make a decision.
The second feature is related. Chrome 25 will automatically disable all third party extensions that have previously been installed automatically in the browser. Users will get a one time prompt that informs them about that and provides them with options to open the extension settings to make adjustments or do not do anything at all.
To make Chrome even faster, we've automatically disabled some extensions that may have been added without your knowledge.
You can always enable or disable any extension in the extension settings page.
The security addition is a welcome change to Chrome as it improves user security further. Lets hope Mozilla will finally add similar capabilities to the Firefox web browser.
Great. That will disable some extensions for virusscanners etc. And much better, also the spyware which is using this more and more. A welcome change indeed!
Chrome at least until now provided you with options to directly delete those extensions from the browser. In Firefox, you can only disable them but not remove them using the add-ons manager.
I think Chrome did a good move. I don't like when software installs extensions behind my back, considering that they know better. I will always be a supporter of the idea that the user must be the one making the choice. Also, I believe that the user must become used to making choices, because this is the only way for him/her to become more educated in the IT matters.
I'm not using Chrome, and I will still not use it even after this move, but it is a good idea nevertheless.
I also like programs that give you the control, and chrome does that in this case while Firefox still does not.
Excellent write-up, Martin. One question, though: What is a "bade?" I am assuming from the context that it's a dialog box, but I'd like to be certain.
Sorry it should read badge.
anyway that enough to hate Firefox because memory and CPU usage.
as i remember i hate Firefox because of this.and always not fixed.
Firefox does notifies you when some crap third party extension tries to install it self,so yes you can't manage the removal from the addon manager,but I'm fine with disabled,by the way I think it must be a year from when Firefox implemented this feature,Chrome did a good job but it's kind of late!Well you know what they say,better late then never!
Firefox does prompt you when a third party is trying to install a new add-on (I believe that you wrote about it a while ago when the feature was added), but you can only disable it, not remove it.
Perhaps we'll see Firefox do this soon.

Mobile devices, ecommerce and the rise of fintech (financial technology) have driven rapid growth of the technology sector in Asia Pacific, which has supported occupier demand for both commercial office and business park space. With India and China rapidly adopting innovative mobile shopping, financial and payment platforms, the region is currently home to seven of the 22 global fintech unicorns – meaning startups valued at more than US$1 billion.
In China, there is increasing demand for coworking spaces from these fast-growing companies, with a new trend of coworking operators becoming anchor tenants in retail malls. The number of coworking spaces in China has grown rapidly: in 2016, there were more than 500 coworking sites in Shanghai and Beijing alone compared to just a few in 2015.
"While there is a greater utilisation of coworking space, tech startups are a future source of Grade A office leasing demand and this is an opportunity for real estate investors and developers to create space that will meet this need," says Dr Megan Walters, Head of Research, Asia Pacific at JLL.
"Technology companies continue seeking high quality office space to attract talent, and we've seen a significant number of tech occupiers upgrading their premises from serviced to proper offices, and from Grade B to Grade A space. Landlords are sitting up and taking notice of what this new category of occupier wants," she adds.
Continued tech sector growth, however, faces a number of challenges. Recent data from JLL reveals that rising labour and operational costs, skills gaps, lack of supportive government policies, as well as real estate and infrastructural development remain the key tests to the burgeoning industry.
"High and rising labour and operating costs were frequently cited by our leasing experts as obstacles to future growth of the tech sector," says Christopher Clausen, Associate Research Director, Asia Pacific at JLL. "High home prices and cost of living were also mentioned as key considerations in some markets, while a shortage of talent and skills gaps may hold back tech development in others."
When searching for office space, tech firms look for reliable power supply, and room for future expansion within the same building. "The importance of a high-quality and stable power supply to tech companies cannot be overstated," says Mr Clausen. "Many tech firms continue to store large volumes of data onsite meaning they are housing a large number of server racks within their office."

LIMERICK City and County Council is to draw up a strategy ahead of the potential arrival of car-sharing to the city.
The local authority has confirmed it has been approached by a number of car-share companies in relation to the potential use of on-street spaces.
Further details of any potential scheme have not been disclosed and it's not known when any scheme could be up and running.
While any car-share scheme will be operated commercially by a private company, the use of on-street parking spaces would have to be approved by Limerick City and County Council.
There are currently car-sharing schemes operating in Dublin and in Cork with around 150 vehicles and 6,000 registered users.
The range of vehicles typically available to users includes smaller 'city cars', electric cars and small vans.
Briefing members of the Travel and Transportation Strategic Policy Committee, senior executive engineer Vincent Murray said a strategy needs to be drawn up by the council given the approaches from car-share companies.
"There have been enquires, they are very interested in having stands in the city centre," he said adding that locations near the University of Limerick and University Hospital Limerick are also being considered.
While it is open to any car-sharing company to operate from privately-owned locations such as multi-story car-parks, current parking by laws do not allow for the use of on-street locations without permission.
Because the council cannot be seen to favour any one private operator, it is likely that expressions of interest will be sought by the council as part of a public procurement process.
Instead of owning a car, members of any car-share scheme can book a car through a smartphone app when needed for an agreed fee.
The vehicle is then collected and returned to designated locations across the city.
While councillors have given a broad welcome to the proposals, some have expressed concerns that young people may be excluded given the high costs of insurance.
Mr Murray also clarified that any registered user who hires a share-car is liable for penalty points relating to speeding offences detected during the time they have hired the vehicle.


Open to all members of the public, the event aimed to showcase the careers and jobs avaialble on Manor Royal. Created and delivered in partnership with Prowse & Co. and sponsored by the B&CE Group, the inaugural event in 2018 was a great success.
The EXPO was created in response to feedback that some Manor Royal companies found it difficult to fill the vacancies they had. There was also a perception that people were not aware of what companies on Manor Royal did or the careers they provide.
The event consisted of an exhibition of Manor Royal businesses, training providers, recruiters, careers advisers and partners and a seminar programme providing tips and advice on how to find work. It was free to attend.
Get in touch with the BID Office or Prowse & Co. if you'd like to be involved in the next Careers Expo taking place on 4 April 2019.
