WhitePapers at Collective Bias were studies on the Influencer Marketing industry. Each article began as a simple text document with open creative direction. For each of these publications, I focused first on the copy, to craft a visual style and unique layouts tailored to each narrative.


According to Thomson Reuters, "This Week in Earnings", the forward 4-quarter estimate was $122.56, versus last week's $123.49.
The PEG ratio is 29.5(x), or Ex-Energy, just over 3(x) and still elevated.
The SP 500 earnings yield is 5.79%.
The y/y growth of the forward estimate is just barely positive at 0.59%, down slightly from last week's +0.61%, neither confidence-inspiring, from an investing perspective.
This week's TWIE was dated last night, April 23rd, which means it likely missed all the positive earnings news from Amazon, Google and Microsoft (long all these names).
Q1 '15 earnings are almost exactly where it was thought they would be with 200 of the SP 500 having reported as of Friday, April 24th, 2015.
I expect the Ex-Energy 5.1% growth rate to drift higher over the next 2 – 3 weeks and possibly move up to 7%, depending on how Wal-Mart and retail reports. (Long WMT).
My own opinion is that Q1 '15 will be another decent quarter of earnings, with a drag from Energy and Basic Materials.
Technology, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary have the best Q1 '15 earnings. Financials are strong too, with Bank of America distorting the sector.
Retail has sold off the last two weeks. I like that sector too from a risk-reward perspective.

Q: Python - display query results in an HTML table So, I have the below web app in Python which should return the info about students (ID, Name, Last name) from a custom table in MSSQL:
from flask import Flask, render_template, redirect, url_for, request

from student import Student, students

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def students_page():
    if request.method == "POST":
        new_student_id = request.form.get("student-id", "")
        new_student_name = request.form.get("name", "")
        new_student_last_name = request.form.get("last-name", "")

        new_student = Student(name=new_student_name, last_name=new_student_last_name, student_id=new_student_id)
        students.append(new_student)

        return redirect(url_for("students_page"))

    return render_template("index.html", students=students)

@app.route("/about")
def about():
    return render_template("about.html")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

Here is my Student class:
import pyodbc

students = []

conn = pyodbc.connect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client 11.0};"
                      "Server=localhost;"
                      "Database=ERPBasic;"
                      "Trusted_Connection=yes;")

sql = '''SELECT Student_id, Name, Last_name FROM MyT'''
cursor = conn.cursor().execute(sql)

for row in cursor.fetchall():
    students.append(row)

class Student:

    school_name = "Springfield Elementary"

    def __init__(self, name, last_name, student_id):
        self.name = name
        self.last_name = last_name
        self.student_id = student_id
        students.append(self)

    def __str__(self):
        return "Student " + self.name

    def get_name_capitalize(self):
        return self.name.capitalize()

    def get_school_name(self):
        return self.school_name

Somehow, when I run the web app on my localhost, the table does not display the query results within the table, but only 4 (four) empty rows and I would like to display the results from the query which is the following:
[(1, 'Clarissa', 'Simpson'), (2, 'Gil', 'Kennedy'), (3, 'Owen', 'Willson'), (4, 'Sylvia', 'Burge')]

Here is my HTML table:

All Students

                    Student ID
                    First Name
                    Last Name
                    Actions

                {% for student in students %}

                    {{ student.student_id }}
                    {{ student.name }}
                    {{ student.last_name }}

                        <button class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Edit</button>
                        <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm">Delete</button>

                {% endfor %}

What am I missing here? Thanks

Donald Trump Receives "Very Nice Letter" From Putin Highlighting Global Challenges
Trump's' response to the letter comes one day after he and Putin both said they wanted their countries to strengthen their nuclear arsenals.

Russian president Vladimir Putin sent President-elect Donald Trump a letter last week, highlighting "serious global and regional challenges" that Russia and the US face.

"Serious global and regional challenges, which our countries have to face in recent years, show that the relations between Russia and the U.S. remain an important factor in ensuring stability and security of the modern world," the letter reads.
"I hope that after you assume the position of the President of the United States of America we will be able — by acting in a constructive and pragmatic manner — to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the international scene to a qualitatively new level."
Trump released a statement Friday saying Putin's "thoughts are so correct."
"A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are so correct. I hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to travel an alternate path," Trump said in a statement.
Trump on Friday reportedly called for a nuclear "arms race" with Russia, one day after he and Putin both said they wanted their countries to strengthen their nuclear arsenals, marking what could be a move away from decades of global disarmament.
"Let it be an arms race, we will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all," Trump told Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski in an off-air interview.
On Thursday, Putin had said that Russia needs to strengthen its nuclear forces.
"We need to strengthen the military potential of strategic nuclear forces, especially with missile complexes that can reliably penetrate any existing and prospective missile defense systems," Putin said in a speech Thursday, Agence France-Presse reported.
Hours later, President-elect Trump said in a tweet that the US should "expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."
US intelligence officials have accused Russia of interfering with the presidential election, but both Trump and Putin have denied Russian involvement.

Mary Hays, 9 St. Georges Place, Camberwell, to William Tooke, 39 Ormond Street, Lamb's Conduit Street, [19] May 1803.1
No 9 – St Georges Place, Camberwell.
May – 1803.
Will you allow me to remind you that I am still in existence, by, presuming on your former friendship, to request of you a favour. You must know, that I have lately launched into extraordinary expences, & have at present no business in view.2 These circumstances, as prudence however unworthy of a great genius, happens to be among the number of my good qualities, affords me no very pleasant subject of reflection. Beside which, I hate to be idle, since melancholy is with me a somewhat constitutional evil. Some new instances of the unprincipled meanness of a certain great publisher has determined me to break with him, though utterly at a loss to find a more profitable connection. Johnson's procrastinating & unenterprizing habits exhaust my patience, & I have met with but little success in an application to Longman. It is true, he offers to treat with me for an original work, but this at present is not my purpose. I wish to be employed, but I do not wish so severely to task my poor brain. I should be content with dull, plodding, inglorious, occupation, so as, in these hard times, it promised to bring me a little pelf. The wings of my ambition are clipped; I want not to be farther known, flattered or abused, but merely to live independant & free. I would engage either in compilation, abridgement or translation, & promise sober drudgery & punctual performance. But as a woman, I feel myself under peculiar disadvantages in seeking or procuring connections.
If you or your good father could befriend me, <I would> on this occasion, I would pray for you, as in duty bound. Or possibly, as I know you to be a diligent student & enquirer, you may be able to point out to me some undertaking, suited to the measure of my talents, or some <demeaning[?]> ^light^ French poetry, not new, that might possibly prove acceptable to the amusement-loving public, neatly attired in an English dress. I was struck, a few days since, in reading Robertson's delightful History of America, by the contents of one of the Notes, from which the following is an abstract. "M. de la Condamine, in the year 1743, sailed from Cuenca to Pard, a settlement of the Portuguese &c. in less than four months. This hazardous undertaking, to which ambition prompted Arellano, & to which the love of science led M. de la Condamine, was undertaken in the year 1769, by Madame Godin des Odonais, from conjugal affection. The narrative of the hardships which she suffered, of the dangers to which she was exposed, & of the disasters which befel her, is one of the most singular & affecting stories in any language, exhibiting in her conduct a striking picture of the fortitude which distinguishes the one sex, mingled with the sensibility & tenderness peculiar to the other. Lettre de M. Godin, a M. de la Condamine."3
Now, can you tell me where this account is to be procured, & whether it has yet been translated? I am here quite out of the literary world, & must depend on my friends for f information & assist aid.
You will oblige me by as speedy a reply as your avocations will permit.
The ladies of your family, to whom present my respects, have promised a visit to my little retreat. Your father & yourself will, I hope, accompany them.
Your friend, with esteem,
Mary Hays.
The aspect of public affairs at present, I am sorry to observe, is not calculated to lighten the measure of private vexation. We stand, I fear on the brink of ruin destruction – Which Heaven avert!
Address: Wm Tooke Esq. | No 39 – Ormond Street, |Lamb's Conduit Street

2 At this time Hays finally achieved her dream of living independently in a house of her own (not as a boarder) and supporting herself from her small annuity and her income from her publications. In early spring 1803, Mary Hays moved from Hatton Garden, where she lived with Ann Cole, to her own house (along with one servant) at 9 St. George's Place, Camberwell, a new row of houses built along Albany Road near Kent Road and just to the south of Surrey Square. Her sister, Elizabeth, married Ambrose Lanfear in March 1804, and her brother, John Hays, appears to have returned from Essex in 1804 and taken a house in Peckham, just to the south of Hays's new home. Sometime in 1804 Hays's eldest sister, Joanna Dunkin, and her family moved to Mortimer Woodham Lodge, near Maldon, Essex, which may explain John Hays's return from that location that same year since his labors with the family's business were no longer required now that John Dunkin was living in Essex (the Dunkins and Hayses were partners in several businesses as cornfactors at this time, including farms and a mill in Essex). She will reside at St. George's Place until February 1806, when she will move to 3 Park Street, Islington, to be near her sister Elizabeth. Holden's London Directory for 1805 lists Hays as "Mrs. Hays," but that was not uncommon at that time for older single women to be given the prefix of "Mrs." The reference is not to her mother, however, who disappears from the Rate Books at 5 Gainsford Street after 1803, though she retained ownership of the property until her death in 1812. If Mrs. Hays rented out the family home, she may have moved in with her daughter, Sarah Hills, who was also living in Gainsford Street in 1803, the year she became a widow. Or Mrs. Hays may have lived for a time with her eldest daughter, Joanna Dunkin, and her family at Champion Hill, prior to their departure for Woodham Mortimer, near Maldon, Essex, in 1804. She could also have lived with her son, Thomas, and his family now living and working in Mill Street, Dockhead, just across a narrow inlet of water at Jamaica Wharf from Gainsford Street. After the suicide of Ambrose Lanfear in 1809, Mrs. Hays moved to Islington, most likely living with Elizabeth Lanfear and assisting in the care of her two young boys. Mrs. Hays died at Islington in 1812.

Screen printing, also known as silkscreening is a technique that uses ink to create a sharp edged, colored image.
A squeegee is used to force ink through fabric stretched over a frame to create a screen. A garment is placed under the screen and ink is passed through the screen, being forced through the open areas onto the garment.
Screen printing is a great way to print on t-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags and ribbons.


The final manufacturing step to complete your PCB order is to remove each board from the larger panel upon which it was fabricated. Depending on the method of assembly and your assembly partner chosen, one of these three options will meet your needs.
Individual : The board perimeter is routed to the outline and size provided.
ValueProto® product, this outline must be a continuous route path using an 0.093" diameter router.
Combine the boards into an array using tabs at the board edge or tabs with perf holes (optional). This option will space the boards approximately 0.1" apart. A standard (1/2") frame is added to the perimeter of the array. This selection can be helpful for boards being assembled by automated means.
Combine the boards into an array separated by only a score line for break apart after assembly. Jump scoring available for the layouts that require scoring and are not a classic array.


Sometimes I just need to get out of the house. With working from home it is easy to feel like you're working all the time or not at all. Even though working from home gives you have the freedom to take time at unusual times, often escaping still happens on weekends.
Yesterday, it was one of those days. Sometimes I actually plan where I'm going. Sometimes I just jump in the car and drive. These adventures most often open me up to opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise.
I headed west, then north, then west, and north ... I wish I'd managed to track my entire trip on a map, but here is a composite that will give you some idea of the journey I took.
In a short time I was simply passing through Longmont on Hover Rd. Just before the Hwy 119 intersection and I saw this beautifully flowering tree.
Then just up the road, this ... two seasons in just a short drive.
Sometimes the cloudy days bring a different character than our frequent sunny days. Those two tiny spots along the shore are people fishing. They must be diehards. Or maybe this day was the only time they had and they were seizing the moment. I like to think they were good friends or lovers who never let anything stop them.
I stopped here to take Kobi for a walk. It was a bit chilly so I didn't last too long, but Kobi always enjoys a bit of "outside" time.
Along the way, it began to rain. This didn't stop me. On I went to see what I could discover. When you travel these side roads in Colorado, you travel through lots of farm land. I almost passed up these relics, but turned around an captured them. An old truck, a grain silo, and a mailbox with an engine part as its support.
As providence would have it, I was running low on gas (I find myself in this predicament all too often), so I was looking for a way to get back to civilization. But before I found the sign, 10 miles to Ft. Collins, I found the Masonville Mercantile.
I really wanted to refresh my coffee, but the mercantile was not a coffee shop and there didn't seem to be much else around.
I wandered around just to see what they were all about. In some people's books, it would be just a lot of stuff. It was a lot of stuff squeezed into a pretty small space, but there were some things that caught my attention. Hats, a model in a pay phone booth, a guilded cash register that was modernized (notice the keypad and digital display), and Mardi herself (the owner).
Before I left, I went to purchase a treat. As it turns out, I had no cash on me (this is a common problem for me), and Mardi didn't take credit cards for such small purchases. But, she said I could take my treat with a promise to come back. I love when I run across people so trusting! So I enjoyed my Heath bar as I headed home.
I passed by Horsetooth Reservoir. I'd never been there. Looks like a great place to enjoy some water sports.Then I tootled on to meander through Ft. Collins on my way home listening to a digital book on my smart phone.
It was a great adventure ... Sunday drive ... 104 miles round trip. And no, I did not run out of gas!
It was a Sunday. I needed to get out of the house. I'd been having trouble doing that since I broke my ankle in October. Mostly, I just couldn't walk for a while. Then it just turned into a bad habit. I thrive on being outside, but sometimes I forget how refreshing it is.
My initial idea was to go to The Train Cars Coffee Shop and do a little remote working. I did manage to find it, wandered through.
Inside: the menu and staff. They were very friendly and I will take some time there my next trip out that way. I love the sign: "I just want to sip coffee and pet my dog." I'm surprised that wasn't enough to entice me to stay there.
I didn't stay there though, finding myself rather indecisive. So Kobi and I wandered down to a park, a short distance away, where we found a little winter wonderland.
I loved the iced-over pond and cross-over bridge. The temperature was moderate and there really wasn't that much snow. Just the remnants here ... at least where I was. I didn't explore much more that day.
Another bridge ... a cross-over from some of the town homes to the park.
Looking out over Barker Reservoir in the distance. I wasn't up for going too far on the snow-covered path. I was still pretty skittish about slipping.
My favorite sound comes from streams and creeks.
After our little wander, I went to another coffee shop I'd passed, New Moon Bakery and Cafe and landed there for a short time. The staff explained several dishes they liked, but I stuck with tried and true, coffee and cake. But I was restless as Kobi waited in the car. I didn't manage to get more than 15 minutes of work done.
In addition, I'm too connected. I got a text while I snacked that my new external drive was waiting on my doorstep. So, I headed home. I didn't want something that valuable sitting out in the open for too long.
I need a road trip. Something I can get my head wrapped around. Something I can get excited about.


The park's oak woodland restores 7.7 acres of native habitat and opens Saturday.
Descanso Gardens will unveil Saturday an oak woodland that provides a glimpse of what Los Angeles might have looked like before 16th-century European settlers and their livestock arrived and forever changed the Southern Californian landscape.
The 7.7-acre plot of land sat largely untended between Descanso's Rose Garden and the California Natives section for decades, overrun with invasive eucalyptus trees and other nonnative plant species and housing a plant propagation nursery and green waste dump, David Brown, Descanso's executive director, said Monday during a press preview of the property.
The site of Descanso founder Manchester Boddy's recreational cabin and a seasonal pond he had installed nearby, the revamped woodland is the garden's first new addition in 30 years.
"When you talk about expanding a botanical garden, you don't necessarily think about bringing the natural landscape back," Brown said, invoking the idea of gardens as showcases for exotic and rare species. "But now, it's the native habitat that is exotic, because it's been mucked up, it's been changed, altered by human interests."
Five years ago, Brown and former head horticulturalist Brian Sullivan came up with the idea to return the land to a much earlier iteration of the L.A .basin, before Spanish missionaries hit California's shores in the late 1700s, bringing with them agriculture, hungry livestock and stowaway seeds tucked into clothes, cargo and animal hides.
Those three influences nearly obliterated the pristine prairie ecosystem, home to a rich biodiversity of plant and animal species. Only recently have naturalists shown an interest in reviving native landscapes for the enjoyment and edification of the public.
Brown said he and Sullivan made several trips to the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve in Riverside County, one of the few remaining natural prairies in Southern California, for inspiration and research.
The project, estimated at $1.2 million, was completed using funds from Proposition A, committed by Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor's District 5 under Mike Antonovich and awarded to the nonprofit L.A. Conservation Corps, which provides job training and work experience to at-risk youth.
Together with staff, corps members hand-weeded the parcel, sparing native plants while transplanting another 30,000 cuttings and seedlings grown specifically for the area. An equal number are scheduled for planting in the near future. But the coast live oaks (Quercus agrifolia) were always intended to be the main attraction, according to Rachel Young, Descanso's director of horticulture and garden operations.
"Oaks are the architecture under which the garden thrives," Young said, adding that most Descanso oaks must compete with camellias and other thirsty species for vital water. "We wanted to create a place where there were oaks and they could just be."
On Saturday at 9 a.m., garden officials will share the new space with the visiting public in an unveiling celebration featuring guided walks, woodland crafting and a special display of a Mars rover model, on loan from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Although the new space has been outfitted with modern contrivances, like ADA-compliant pathways and temporary irrigation hoses to help tender buds take root, its look and feel evoke a more primitive landscape, one Brown said humans find intrinsically appealing.
"The first experience you have when you come here for the first time is that it's so open. I think when you're out in a space like this, you instantly get an intuitive comfort from being able to see what the big macro habitat consists of," he added.
And people aren't the only ones who appreciate the restored habitat — staff say cameras installed in the woodland have already captured several curious animals. In addition to rabbits and coyotes, bobcats and bears, rarer species like the gray squirrel and Mandarin duck have been recently spotted.
Julianne Rook, Descanso's chief operating officer, said as amazing as the new addition is, it's far from finished.
"Oak trees live 500 years, so I don't know that this project will ever be done," she said. "I think after two years, you're going to see a much different place. But it's beautiful now."

Richard's Cajun Foods to invest $2.7M in Acadia Parish expansion
CHURCH POINT, La. — Today, Gov. John Bel Edwards and Richard's Cajun Foods Inc. President Ronnie Doucet announced Richard's will invest $2.7 million to relocate some production and administrative functions to Church Point and expand the company's operations there. With the expansion, the food processing company will retain 38 jobs and will create 12 new direct jobs, with an average annual salary of $35,000. Louisiana Economic Development estimates the project will result in 16 new indirect jobs, for a total of 28 new jobs in the Acadiana Region.
The Richard's Church Point facility will feature 28,000 square feet of production and office space. As part of the expansion, the company is adding 6,000 square feet of space, as well as renovating 3,000 square feet of existing space in the Church Point facility. In addition to expanding the facility, Richard's is relocating some production operations from Milwaukee to Church Point. The company anticipates construction beginning in January 2019, with completion by March 2019. Commercial operations will not cease during the expansion, and hiring for the new jobs will begin in early 2019.
"The decision by Richard's Cajun Foods to expand in Acadia Parish is a vote of confidence in Louisiana's ability to foster success for our existing employers," Gov. Edwards said. "Richard's products have been on family dinner tables across Louisiana and other Southern states for many years, and we are confident that this expansion will allow them to spread Cajun flavors and traditions to larger markets and new customers. We are proud to have their Louisiana-made products reach dinner plates across the U.S."
Richard's is a producer of Cajun food products, including smoked sausage, boudin and prepared entrees. Founder Lonnie Richard learned the preparation techniques of Cajun specialties from his grandmother at her Church Point grocery store. Richard's began selling these products with only one delivery truck, and formally established Richard's Cajun Foods in 1981.
"We are excited about our ongoing investment in Church Point, Acadia Parish and the state of Louisiana to ensure we continue to make high-quality Cajun meats and foods by our valued team member's at Richards," said Doucet.
Richard's Cajun Foods is a key component of Tall Tree Foods Inc., which is based Milwaukee. The Cajun foods producer was purchased by Altamont Capital Partners in 2013 along with Texas bacon and sausage producer Blue Ribbon to form the basis of Tall Tree Foods.
"We are proud that Richard Cajun Foods calls Acadia Parish its home," said Acadia Parish Police Jury President David Savoy. "This expansion will contribute greatly to economic growth for our parish and Church Point. Richard's decision to expand demonstrates the strength of Acadia Parish as an optimal location for food processing and manufacturing businesses."
"Richard's has been a staple of our community for many years, as well as a cultural distinction of our Cajun cuisine," Church Point Mayor Russell Stelly said. "An expansion like this would be great for any community. The increase in the company's production is not just expanding Richard's brand, but it's also expanding Church Point's name through the growth of one of our largest employers."
Louisiana Economic Development began working on a potential expansion with Richard's in July 2018. To secure the facility expansion in Acadia Parish, the State of Louisiana offered the company a competitive incentive package that includes a $125,000 performance-based loan from LED's Economic Development Award Program. The company also is expected to utilize Louisiana's Enterprise Zone and Industrial Tax Exemption programs.


John Hegarty is the principal of Scecina Memorial High School. For the next school year, he will move on to a new position at Scecina, Vice President of Community Initiatives. This is his final Commencement address as principal, given to the Class of 2017 on May 26, 2017.
Congratulations! You have come to the end of one part of the journey we call life. You have succeeded in all areas of high school life and have left Scecina Memorial High School a better place.
As many of you know, I love to travel. For years I would spend hours reading and remembering maps. Now I just get the phone or GPS and put in where I want to go and the directions pop up. Even though I have the GPS to keep me on the correct route, every once in a while (as my wife will be more than happy to tell you) I miss the turn or get on the wrong route. The GPS will then reroute you and get you back on track. Of course, the GPS will give you different choices and many of you will make different choices, but my hope is that eventually we all end up at the same place.
I see your Catholic education here at Scecina as providing you with directions, acting as your GPS as you maneuver through life. You may go the wrong way on occasion, but the voice is there to lead you back if you follow it. I hope that we have also taught you that occasionally not listening to the GPS is OK too. Sometimes you have the best experience when you are not on the most-traveled route.
My family and I were traveling in Italy a few years ago and we got lost on a back road. It was getting late. We thought, "This is the worst day." Just then we saw this little bed-and-breakfast in the distance. I did not want to stay there, but I was overruled. To cut a long story short, we had a fantastic evening and a wonderful meal. In fact the best time of our vacation. The next day we got back on route and made it home safely.
The point is, we have given you the directions to get home. It is ok to deviate, to try the back roads but always remember what you have been taught by your parents, in your elementary schools and here at Scecina and you will never truly be lost. I hope you all find your little Italian B and B in the cornfield many times in your lives.

Breathtaking Views of China's 'Avatar' Mountains, Which Inspired the Movies
"It's kinda the Garden of Eden with teeth and claws."
Pandora, a fictional habitat in James Cameron's sci-fi blockbusters Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) has been described by the filmmaker as such:
Full of bizarre flora and fauna and floating land masses, Pandora takes a cue from the Wulingyuan Scenic Area located in China's Hunan province.
This public bit of information has been a boon to China's tourism, as the blockbuster has sparked curiosity about the real natural wonder.
Funny story: The craggy mountains in Wulingyuan used to be called the Southern Sky Column. Shortly after the first Avatar film was released, however, Chinese government officials formally changed the attraction's name to the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain.
Bringing new meaning to the saying 'head in the clouds,' the UNESCO World Heritage Site has over 3,000 sandstone pillars and peaks which reach heights of more than 200 meters or 660 feet.
While Wulingyuan may not have six-legged or flying beasts, the area is home to the Asian wild dog, or known as dhole, the 'armored' pangolin, and countless other cool creatures.
In addition to the 'Avatar mountain,' two must-sees at Zhangjiajie National Forest Park include the world's longest cable car ride and a glass skybridge.

NoCoMo Industries offers a custom built wood pallet service in addition to its various recycling operations. Here, employee Kenny Jermain lines up boards to be cut to length in NoCoMo's woodshop.
Northwest senior capstone builds local business' social media presence
Makenzi Turley @TheMissourian Missourian reporter
The communications senior capstone class brings awareness to unknown local business.
Professor Bayo Joachim's senior capstone class is working with NoCoMo Industries to promote awareness of the business within the community. The class' goal is to get the word out about exactly what NoCoMo does.
Senior Brooklyn Green is a communications major who is working on the project with NoCoMo Industries.
"Honestly, we had no idea what NoCoMo even was. I do not think a lot of people know what NoCoMo does and how much they help the community," Green said. "I have lived here my whole life and I have never heard of them."
NoCoMo Industries is a sheltered workshop in Maryville that takes care of paper, cardboard and aluminum recycling. The company employs people with disabilities.
Senior Veronica Maere is a communications major who is also working with NoCoMo Industries on this project.
"We realized that this project will mean a lot because they just need people to know what they do," Maera said. "They need to know the benefit that it proves, not only for the community but for the employees that it serves as well."
NoCoMo has been in Maryville since 1973. Nicki Samson became director of the business in 2010 during a complete restructure. Originally, NoCoMo was a thrift store operation that ended up being unsuccessful.
Now Samson, along with other members of the board of directors, have changed the way NoCoMo has run in the last nine years with the recycling operation.
The company is set up like a factory. There are seven work areas of the building that are utilized every single day: production room A, production room B, production room C, upper warehouse, lower warehouse, woodshop and yard. Each of these parts plays a key role in the flow of the business and everyday life for employees.
Samson said that NoCoMo is struggling when it comes to people knowing who they are and what they do. Some people do not realize that the workshop is open to the public.
"We leave bins out in the northwest corner of our building 24/7 where we collect cardboard, all grades of paper and aluminum," Samson said. "We divert your recyclables from the landfill and then we are selling it by the truckload to be recycled to be made into other products, and by doing so you're providing employment for our folks."
NoCoMo also offers free recycling pick up for local businesses. NoCoMo picks up recycling from about 40 different businesses in town. They also partner with trash companies in Maryville that help them pick up recyclables from businesses and individuals as well.
Employees are able to work successfully because NoCoMo allows them to work with their individual skill sets.
"We train each individual with their skill set, and we find out what they like and what they dislike," Samson said. "We find what we need to adapt in order for them to be successful."
NoCoMo Industries employs people ranging from 18 to 70 years old.
"(Employees) range from people who have attended state schools to people with college degrees, and the neatest thing about it is nobody cares which is which," Samson said. "Things go unnoticed here where it might not at other workplaces. The difference of abilities isn't even a subject here."
There are four paid staff members and 40 certified employees. Each employee has a job that fits well with their skill sets.
"We are a Missouri Sheltered Workshop, and what we do is we employ people that have not or could not be successful in competitive employment," Samson said. "It needs to be adapted to be able to set them up for success, and as a sheltered workshop, we are able to do that."
NoCoMo prides itself on making its environment safe, healthy and fun.
"I want NoCoMo to be a place where (employees) want to be, not where they have to be," Samson said, "You may not be able to read, write or count, but there is a place here for you in NoCoMo."
Each member of the group that is working with NoCoMo Industries created their own flyer to present to the business. Green said the group wanted something that the business could realistically maintain other than social media platforms.
"All three of us created a flyer that (NoCoMo) could use for different things," Green said. "One flyer describes their recycling program, one is just more general information about NoCoMo and the last one is for potential new hires about how to get hired and why it is a great place it work."

Kewpies win home opener, 77-62
By Eric Blum Columbia Daily Tribune
It took Hickman boys basketball the entire season to reach the three-win plateau last year.
After five games in 2018, the Kewpies have already matched that mark.
Hickman ran past Smith-Cotton 77-62 Wednesday night at Hickman High School.
Kewpies' senior Jarvis Jennings led all scorers with 25 points. Sophomore forward Seth Larson added 17 for Hickman. Smith-Cotton was led by Tyler Williams with 19 points.
This was also the Kewpies' home opener and their first win on their own court in nearly two years.
"I'll tell you what, we're not losing here at home, it's not happening and those guys want it more than me," Hickman head coach Cray Logan said. "So, we're just not going to do it, we're not going to lose here at home."
Logan and in turn, his team's confidence comes from the pride they take in playing for Hickman -- Columbia's oldest high school.
That's something Logan said previously might have been lost during last season's missteps. This season, a different level of swagger exists from the Kewpies because of Hickman's pedigree.
Victories like the one over Smith-Cotton prove that whatever actions Logan and the entire team took since leaving the court in February are paying off this fall.
"I wish I could say it doesn't mean anything to us, but it does," Logan said about winning a third game in five attempts. "It just shows us how much hungry are our guys to want to get more than just three wins. They've got the rest of the season ... how many more wins do you want out of that? That's what I ask my guys. So, that's all I care about."
A win over the Tigers wasn't a breeze. The Kewpies (3-2) traded the lead with them for a majority of the first half -- leading by as much as six, but trailing in a few spots as well.
Taking just a 3-point lead into halftime, Logan was clear to his team about what it needed to do to secure the victory coming out of the locker room.
"It was just little things that we needed to fix that we weren't seeing as a team," Logan said. "Our communication level was subpar. It wasn't what we wanted to be. It wasn't our expectation. It wasn't what we do in practice every day. I think that maybe that was a little bit of first-game-at-home jitters that we had to get out. But once we got that and got it cleared up, we went out in the second half and did what we were supposed to do."
That extended Hickman's lead over Smith-Cotton (2-3) to six points at the end of the third quarter and quickly into double digits in the fourth -- where it stayed for the rest of the game.
The Kewpies' ability to overcome adversity, like not pulling away from a team like the Tigers, ramped up over the summer during hours spent in reflection that no one sees outside the program.
"I started with a lot of self-evaluation," Logan said. "What am I doing as a coach? What am I not doing as a coach? What is my attitude? What is my energy? And I started there personally, but then I also started to think about what could I do with my players. How could I talk to them different? What type of feedback am I getting from them off the court?
Logan purposed those things into a better two-way understanding from himself and his players that in present day is paying off.
"We're not done yet, we know that," Hickman junior forward Nate Wilson said. "We're going to keep going, we're not satisfied."
For sophomores like Larson and guard Adam Trachsel, who scored all of his nine points against Smith-Cotton in the second half, emerging as helping hands could lead Hickman to more success throughout the winter.
"For them, it's almost like for some reason they want to be just role players, but all of sudden they realize how talented they are and how much they can do for us both offensively and defensively," Logan said.
Hickman returns to action Friday night on the road against Blair Oaks.

The nicest of guys
Anton Zuiker, co-founder of ScienceOnline and communications director for the Duke Department of Medicine, is one of the nicest, kindest people you can meet. Annoyingly, while thanking people for being generous and kind, he manages to be more generous, kind, and thoughtful than the people he is thanking.

As you all probably know from my posts on NCAA basketball, in which I use fawning examples of Coach K's tactical and strategic genius, I went to Duke. You also probably know that I played rugby, a lot of rugby.
Though I will try, words cannot express how proud I am that Duke was the runner-up for the National Small College Rugby Organization* national championship this year, losing in the final to St. John's University 31-16.
My first season (1997-1998), I don't think we won a single game. In my senior season, after transitioning to Division 3 to play against comparably sized schools, we went undefeated in our regular season league play. As a former team captain and club president, I've watched from a distance with great pride as the club has continued to build upon its successes, culminating in this year's achievement.
If you live in Hartsville, SC and think you might be hearing slightly off-key rugby songs drifting on the wind from the direction of my house tonight, you are right.
*Duke may be an NCAA Division I school for major sports, but the actual undergraduate student body size is only about 6500. For non-scholarship/club sports, this makes Duke comparable to smaller colleges.

Ben Folds Five + Fraggles: Reminding Me of the Virtues of a Large Sample Size
I have a soft spot for Muppets and for the Ben Folds Five. The Muppets require no explanation. Ben Folds Five might do1.
The Ben Folds Five played the "Last Day of Classes" event at Duke University my freshman year (1998)2. I was having a good day (was named captain of the rugby team) and they rocked. At the time, the combination of good music and sun dresses convinced me that the "Last Day of Classes" was a day of eternal magic. Being a mere freshman, I had not yet learned that music selections by university entertainment committees are almost universally horrible3. The choice of Ben Folds Five was a statistical aberration that gave me an inaccurate expectation for the next year's festivities due to the small sample size.
Looking back, the next three years of disappointment were well worth it to have that statistical lesson tattooed on my soul.
1. For the metaphorical Philistines amongst you.
2. Having been college, these dates may or may not be accurate.
3. They also managed to bring in Kevin Nealon to do stand-up comedy when I visited the campus as a high school senior – an event that certainly influenced my choice of higher education institution. Vanderbilt's dean of admissions mocking Nashville's storied country music history may have also helped.

Shivangi Ladha
Shivangi's love for drawing started young which led her to pursue art professionally. It was then that she discovered printmaking. Her art is raw, powerful, breaks the rules of conventional beauty and is aimed at started a dialogue as opposed to just hanging on the wall of a gallery. Her latest subject; the survivors of acid attack, whom she has portrayed eloquently in her prints, strikes a cord with the viewer, questioning our understanding of their situation, being and society. The collection titled, Has each violent revolution created another violent society? Acid Attack Survivor has been acquired by The British Museum, London.
When did you start drawing?
I love drawing, and I draw a lot. Since childhood drawing for me has always been the simplest and most direct way of expression. It came naturally to me; I would say it was my favorite hobby. All my friends and relatives bought color pencils and sketchbooks for me. My parents also encouraged me to pursue it professionally and I decided to do my BFA in Painting from College of Art, Delhi. In college, as I started to evolve as an artist, I started to explore it more intensely.
Drawing continues to provide an immediate form of expression. It is ideally suited to modern life such as being on the go and allows a greater independence from conventional studio spaces. The conceptual and the subjective, arguable the most vital components of contemporary art practice, connect in drawing more forcibly and more appropriately than any other form of art I practice.
Why printmaking and not the conventional painting or sculpture?
I did my bachelors in Painting. Only while doing that I realized that my practice was drawing based and I wanted a medium through which I could challenge the conventions of drawing. At that particular time, Printmaking suited the best and I decided to pursue my MA in this medium. Printmaking has various techniques like Etching, Lithography and Screen Print. Every technique results in a unique, beautiful kind of lines and textures. And every line expresses a different emotion.
The whole printmaking process has really intrigued me a lot. It is experimental, laborious, unpredictable and repetitive. Like life itself! Repetition is connected with meditation: I repeat the same task again and again. Sit every day in a same position to meditate, repeat the same process in trying to reach that state of nothingness. Repetition becomes a kind of force which seems to transcend and take us to another dimension.
Printmaking is considered a dying art. What is the biggest challenge with pursuing printmaking?
The biggest challenge with pursuing printmaking in India is the lack of opportunities, studio spaces and lack of people's interest in collecting prints. In 2016 when I got back to Delhi after my graduating, I struggled to find a decent printmaking studio where I could work. Unlike painting, printmaking needs a well-equipped studio which consists of an etching press, aquatint box, screen printing tables, Lithography stones, a well ventilated space which has powerful exhausts to be able to get rid of harmful fumes.
In 2017, I felt a change in the printmaking scene. Thanks to a few individuals and art lovers who came forward and took the initiative of building studio spaces for artists, with the only motive of bringing the art community together and promoting the medium printmaking. Litho Lekha in Baroda, Print Club Delhi and Artbuzz Studio, Delhi etc. are among them.
In early 2018, I myself co-founded an online platform, India Printmaker House (IPMH). IPMH's mission is to showcase high quality, handmade prints at a fair price, making the online gallery an accessible and inviting platform. Representing a diverse selection of young students, contemporary artists and some of the best upcoming printmakers. IPMH selects a winner who shows exceptional talent for the 'Manonorama Young Printmaker Award' annually. The winner receives a financial award and 4 – week fully funded residency at a print studio in Artbuzz Studio, Delhi. Such platforms and spaces will assist in establishing a new foundation for all printmakers in India. It will develop and foster an environment where individuals will create works far beyond the measures of the limited potential of our minds. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of our cultural partners Artbuzz, Parkshala and Ravi Engineering Works.
What do you wish for your art to communicate?
Millions of people around the world are dying because of war, poverty, diseases, divisive violence on the grounds of religion, politics, power, corruption and greed. There's exploitation of wealth, hypocrisy of states, cookery of politics over human existence and the threat of our world being in a natural state of destruction. These are difficult times for our species, which is in direct result of our ignorance and arrogance of pertaining to our selfish desires. But, who is responsible for all of this?
The intention of my work is to raise awareness and spring consciousness among others about their own existence. It's about providing others with a different perspective in the concept of identity, which is not based upon mere constraints of the mind. The true self is not preoccupied with the notions of skin color, place of birth, shape, form or gender, but flourishes a realization that all of us are the same and 'one' from within, which is the greatest teaching of all. The younger generation is our future, and with this realization they can dream to create a world that can be a better place for every living being to subsist in. A world without fears and walls between nations, but as one unit that accepts every individual as who they really are.
Can you tell me about your creative process?
My practice is experience-based. When I feel something strongly: it could be the feeling of happiness, anger, joy, silence, contentment, loneliness, pain, I have an immediate urge to express it. I usually carry a small sketchbook with me, where I can instantly doodle my ideas. Everything begins from there! For me art is intrinsically healing. It turns these feelings into shared stories. These feelings get handled, drawn, shaped, released, communicated and transformed into beauty. When I completely surrender myself in this whole process, then the magic happens. Spontaneity and intuition comes into play and it leads to the creation of something, which is beyond the usual human norms.
Art has changed me a lot as a person. It has led me to search for the truth, the real meaning of life. I am constantly growing with it. It has given me a sense of freedom. Freedom of expression, freedom to escape from worldly things, freedom to be completely myself. It transcends me to a space where I am connected the most with myself. Through art, it is hard to not feel inspired.
You have worked on a series on acid attack victims – interviewed and photographed before continuing on to make your series. What drew you to them?
In 2017 I was travelling to my hometown Gwalior. In Agra I came across this café called Sheroes Hangout Café. This café has a lovely concept, where they hire only acid attack survivors. This way they get employment. That was the first time I saw and met an acid attack survivor in person and I was really moved by it. The first question which struck my mind was- is this real? And how could someone intend to do this? I strongly felt that I should really do something for them through my art and decided to work on it.
When I reached home, I immediately began my research by interviewing the survivors. My first interview was scheduled with Ritu Saini. She is a well-known activist and has raised her voice against this kind of violence. Initially my idea was to visit her house but then a friend suggested to instead take her out for lunch. I was looking for a setting where we both feel relaxed around each other. I wanted it to be more of an informal interview rather than serious questions so that she could also enjoy the whole process. I remember the first thing I asked her was, if she was feeling comfortable and she responded back "are you comfortable"? It was an eye opening response. Their physical appearance might be different but inside they are the purest souls, only seeking to not be judged by us and want the society to lovingly accept them back the way they are. She told me how it happened, where it happened, who did it to her, what was his intention, how she went through the whole physical and mental trauma all alone. Yes, I definitely felt very sad in the whole process but it also inspired & motivated me. Even after what all she went through, I was surprised to see the amount of positivity and will power she had. We ended the conversation with some good dessert and a photo session. Last thing she said was that nobody took her out for lunch and she really enjoyed it. I couldn't thank my friend enough, who gave me this wonderful idea. After this experience, truly my whole perspective towards life changed!
Through my work, I began to share their stories by using acid to etch their portraits into zinc plates. With these prints, my aim was to raise awareness about domestic abuse and violence that these women faced. In these series, instead of using acid as a destructive tool, I used it as an agent of creation and tried to bring the beauty that lies within each of those individuals.

LERON III – A covert mission into restricted Hinji airspace goes sideways as the Conny loses contact with its crew.
Under directions of Starfleet Command, the USS Constitution, NCC-9012-B has reported to the Hinji homeworld to give relief efforts at one of their largest displacement camps. However, Starfleet Command had another, more secretive command for the crew – conduct covert ops in determining a possible military installation on their homeworld which could be in contravention of their Federation charter membership. Now, with the Hinji government demanding the area off-limits and tensions already at an all-time high, Capt Jalana Rajel has to face the possibility of a shuttle downed and missing in action in restricted airspace.
Arriving at Leron III, the Constitution readied a party led by Chief of Operations Lt Prudence Blackwell to the planet's surface to install industrial replicators and water reclamation units, as well as provide medical supplies and expertise to Tirtahl Camp, an expansive displacement camp of underprivileged Hinji. "I don't understand why we're going through so much effort to help them out," sighed PO Bazreet of the quartermaster's office. "I'd say just as many of those prideful Hinji would drive us forcefully off their planet as thank us for our help." However, a second, less announced party was being organized by LtCmdr Maxwell Traenor under direct orders of Starfleet Command. This party, led by Chief Intelligence Officer Lt Solaris McLaren, was to take a shuttle to the surface and covertly approach a sensor blind spot on the surface of Leron III. Considering the animosity between the Hinji and the Linarans, there are concerns that military weapons are being hidden for potential use against their stellar neighbors and fellow Federation members. With the Hinji government being obtuse and belligerent about the area, it fell on the Constitution covert Away team to stealthily prove or disprove these suspicions. With the relief team onsite and setting up without too much incident, attention soon turned onto the shuttle as it disappeared from sensors and comms upon reaching the blind spot, only to fail to emerge out the other side.
In earlier conversations with Adel Brindlehide, Hinji Adjunct of Military Affairs, it was stated in no uncertain terms that a Starfleet presence in the area of the sensor blind spot was unwelcome and indeed prohibited, and that the Constitution was to provide relief efforts at Tirtahl Camp only. Now, with a possible search and rescue effort needed in that very area, what will the response of the Hinji be? With many disenfranchised Hinji already resentful of Starfleet, will there be repercussions not only for Hinji-Federation relations, but more immediate safety concerns for the relief aid Away team at Tirtahl Camp? The Constitution is about to find out as Rajel, Traenor, and the rest of the senior crew face the reality of a covert mission gone sideways.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Banking Act 1979 (Exempt Transactions) Regulations 1986 in consequence of the commencement on 16th February 1987 of Part IV of the Financial Services Act 1986 and the repeal on that date of related provisions.
