Like it or not, prospective clients will develop a "story" about you and your firm. The only question is – is it the right story?
Your Brand encapsulates your identity – or as the marketplace perceives it, your reputation. A powerful Brand sets expectations in advance, positioning you for success well before you even begin the sales process.
The Meyler Brand Strategy is foundational - informing all of the other messaging and collateral items and driving your communications strategy.
This first step in the process is to deconstruct and then reconstruct your Value Proposition. It starts with Discovery - independently learning as much as we possibly can about you – just as a prospective investor would.
That is quickly followed-up with the Temperature Check where we interview the people that know your firm best – to gather both strengths and weaknesses.
Together, this objective and subjective knowledge paints a very detailed picture of you and your business.
The findings are presented to you in a 40-50 page document designed to act as the foundation upon which we re-build your story.
Question: WHAT ISSUES DOES BLUEPRINT FACE? WHAT WOULD DETER SOMEONE FROM INVESTING?
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU RECOMMEND TO MOST FAVORABLY IMPACT THEIR BUSINESS?
Streamline the story – as a CTA, what message are you trying to convey with the "blueprint" and "architecture" theme?
WHAT ASPECTS OF BLUEPRINT'S MODEL AND STRATEGY ARE MOST COMPELLING?
The model is proven. You can't cheat math.
Insights gained from the Discovery and Temperature Check data and the Brand Strategy Workshop are distilled down to define your brand attributes.
BRAND AMBITION: WHAT ARE WE STRIVING TO BE KNOWN FOR?
We are theSystematic Investment Strategies (SIS ) disruptors that every Investment Advisor aspires to have in their corner.
REASONS TO BELIEVE: WHAT'S THE PROOF?
We provide Investment Advisors with a game-changing SIS solution based on analysis of centuries of human behavior in eight familiar asset classes. We have developed mathematical models that can identify opportunities with remarkable accuracy, models that we are happy to share. We operate with 100% transparency and have unassailable proof that our system works: there is no black box here.
A short paragraph summarizing your brand (an "elevator speech") that can be used wherever you need a synopsis of your story.
that while the market is unpredictable, human behavior is not. IN FACT IT TURNS OUT THAT HUMAN BEHAVIOR TRIGGERED BY CERTAIN MARKET CONDITIONS HAS BEEN PREDICTABLE FOR CENTURIES NOW.
As we combed through all the data looking for insight we were convinced, once and for all, that while valuation is subjective, price is the only truth.
PRICE IS REAL…You can count on it.
at Blueprint Investment Partners WE ARE GLAD WE'VE ENGINEERED A TRANSPARENT BOX. We will show you anything you'd like to see. If you want to see our formulas, no problem.
If you want to know how we came up with them, we can share that with you too.
Obviously, your marketing materials are a key vehicle to display and communicate what your brand is all about.
At the same time, to fully 'live the brand' means that every aspect of your organization must be aligned with the brand values – from what clients and prospects see and experience when they are visit your office, to what they read in your emails and hear in your phone calls, even to the traits that you look for in your next addition to staff.
…then your brand identity is the visual way to quickly communicate what you want those people to say.
In this case, the original Blueprint identity was unremarkable. The logo was based on an actual blueprint, and did not support the new 'transparency' positioning. The color palette was monochromatic, and the dark tones were not aligned with an image of transparency and openness.
The redesign demonstrates a renewed sense of purpose and a clear, concise company message.
Wordmarks are minimal, clean, and can pack a lot of impact. Blueprint wanted a wordmark that featured a symbol or graphic device that could be used in other collateral.
Your website is the hub of your marketing efforts: driving visitors to the site provides a means of measuring the effectiveness of various programs, and it provides a way to engage with prospects and to monitor their progress through the decision steps.
The central theme of the updated Blueprint website is one of transparency – a key differentiating point from the Brand Strategy work. From the opening video loop of a 'black box' becoming transparent, to the trailblazing decision to display an trend-following formula on the site, the entire visitor experience is consistent with the new brand and the new brand identity.
The original Blueprint website was tied to the 'architecture' theme, with imagery and copy that did not provide a distinctive identity or any differentiation for the Blueprint value proposition.
helped to drive home the aspect of their utmost transparency.
again helped to drive home the notion that Blueprint is 100% transparent to anyone and everyone.
A consistent brand experience extends beyond the website, and must comprehend all prospect and existing investor touch points. Whitepapers, stationery, and business cards can all reinforce your brand identity and message.
It's difficult to predict the sequence in which a prospect will interact with your firm – so your story has to be told repeatedly in order to strengthen it over time. Each touch represents an opportunity to build strength if the message isconsistent – or to diminish that strength if the message varies and if the identity is inconsistent.
All the components of the Blueprint collateral package work together to ensure that each interaction reaffirms the brand story and leaves a positive, memorable imprint on the reader.
Blueprint Investment Partners collaborates with investment advisors to determine which of their clients could benefit from adding a systematic strategy to their portfolio. They then manage the investment on the client's (and advisor's) behalf, empowering the advisors to help the investors who trust them.

Coast Jazz Watch Party
Ellington/Strayhorn's "Such Sweet Thunder"
Make a date with the Coast and its director to watch and live-chat about their recent performance of an orchestral jazz landmark.
Hear a gorgeous piece of the Coast's winter 2020 concert and join Coast members and Director Taylor Ho Bynum in live chat! This watch party replays the Coast's February 22 performance of the Ellington/Strayhorn Such Sweet Thunder suite, in which Shakespeare's sonnets and characters rub shoulders with swing, ragtime and other jazz styles.
Such Sweet Thunder holds a special place in the histories of jazz composition and the Ellington band. In 1956, 40 years into his career as a bandleader, Ellington was undergoing a musical renaissance, with his band triumphing at the Newport Jazz Festival with an ambitious musical suite and Ellington popping onto the cover of TIME magazine. A few weeks after Newport, the band played several nonconsecutive gigs at Ontario's then-new Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Between engagements, Ellington and his composition partner Strayhorn watched plays and hung out with the theater artists. (Both knew their Bard; Strayhorn was such an aficionado, his bandmates called him "Shakespeare.") By the time the band left Stratford, Ellington and Strayhorn had a commission to write a suite of Shakespeare-inspired music for the following summer's festival. Thus they created what poet and music critic A.B. Spellman has called "one of the most remarkable orchestral pieces in all of American music."
The Coast performed Such Sweet Thunder as part of an ambitious two-evening collaboration with the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra which included both ensembles performing together Bynum's new Shakespeare-based jazz oratorio The Temp and Mr. Prosper. Bynum will share a video of that work in an upcoming Hop@Home presentation!

Both student and mentor applications are due January 4, 2019. Additional details and application can be found here.
The Midwest Chapter of the Medical Library Association Annual Conference in Cleveland, Ohio, is just around the corner. On Saturday October 6th, the GMR will be providing two separate continuing education courses during the event. Each will provide 4 MLA contact hours of continuing education. More details here.
Open Science for Health Sciences Librarians: Open Science pursues the goals of transparency in experimental methodology, observation, and collection of data; publicly availability and reusability of scientific data; public accessibility, and using web-based tools to facilitate collaboration. This course will offer an overview of the role of open science and its components in health sciences research, its implementation throughout the workflow of the research process, locating and creating open sciences policies for use at your institution, and assessing open source tools currently available.
Precision Medicine: Precision medicine is an approach to disease management that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. This course will provide participants with some baseline knowledge of genomics, an overview of the clinical applications of genomic medicine, an appreciation of the associated ethical and social issues inherent in this field and a review of NLM resources for health professionals and consumers.
The GMR is currently in the process of conducting a training needs assessment to help us better understand the needs of the community colleges within our 10-state region. If you are a community college librarian or community college faculty member – or if you know and are willing to share this survey with one– we would greatly benefit from any feedback that we might receive. Please note that the GMR is seeking feedback from just member institutions.
The survey link is: https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9pFR8aOwNtspqnj.
We are eager to hear from you to better support and develop training opportunities for community colleges. If you have any questions, please send them my way.
The HSLI 2018 Conference<http://hsli.org/conference/> will be held this fall, September 26-28 in Rockford, Illinois.
The GMR invites our hospital librarians to share their feedback about NLM's new strategic plan. In response to our first call for feedback, several hospital librarians submitted responses, which generated discussion at the annual MLA meeting. National Library of Medicine Director Dr. Patti Brennan has requested additional feedback from this group, and for this purpose our office will facilitate an informal meeting for our hospital librarians.
I invite our hospital librarians to join us for a virtual meeting on Monday, July 2, at 10:00 AM CDT. If you are unable to attend, we welcome your feedback and recommendations via e-mail instead.
You can connect to the meeting by either computer or phone using the following information.

I've flipped off every motorcade that has gotten in my way. Why hasn't the Post written an article about me?
Yeah, motorcades are the worst. It's not partisan.
There's something about the photo in this article that I really love. I can't quite tell if it's the bike alone on a road with a bunch of cars, the somewhat casual way the cyclist is dressed, or the way her white shirt stands out against the black cars and dark scene while she's flipping the bird. Whatever it is, the photo is just perfect.
Wait, it's all a misunderstanding. She's flipping off the black SUVs with MD War of 1812 tags: the obligation of every VA cyclist.
I describe such women as having huge "euphemisticals".
I'm just glad the article mentioned that she was wearing a helmet. I mean, we wouldn't take her seriously at all otherwise.
Pretty sure that was a take off on "not all heroes wear capes"
Though after Saturday, I can say that quite a few cyclists wear capes.
Should we expect the stretch of Pennsylvania Ave in front of the White House to see increasingly frequent closures to cyclists as a result?
Agree with Emm that this is a great photo! The slight underexposure, the tilt to the camera, the white shirt against a sea of black SUVs. It's wonderful!

Garden Project Opening: Amanda Williams
Amanda Williams creates a site-specific installation for The Arts Club Garden Projects series in which she inserts a secondary fence that breaks away from the existing boundary, blurring the distinction between its function as barrier and container alike. Uppity Negress addresses the layered roles gender and race have played historically in black women's ability to navigate their position in urban space.
Fascinated by the way the garden operates as a liminal space between public and private, Williams's installation highlights concepts of authority and access–noting when each is granted or denied. Recent instances in contemporary culture have resurrected the term 'uppity' to challenge the suggestion that black women have forgotten their place, or need reminding. By venturing "out of line," the fence creates a disorienting space that calls into question the relationship between restraint and protection.
To commemorate the opening of her garden project, Williams will speak about her work alongside a sound performance featuring the voices of Carris Adams and Natalie Moore.


Rhododendron 'PJM Elite' is the best of the many "PJM" cultivars available in nurseries. In early spring this small-leaved evergreen shrub is covered in a profusion of deep red-purple flowers – definitely a harbinger of the season! The aromatic foliage often changes to almost a mahogany color when the temperature becomes colder and provides striking wintertime interest.

Question: What Is Modern Western Square Dancing?
You dance in squares of eight dancers (usually 4 men and 4 ladies). The space required for one square to dance comfortably is in the neighborhood of 144 square feet. While learning to square dance you become familiar with the basic language. From that time on, you simply follow the calls or directions of the person up at the front of the hall. They are the caller, and you'll find that they are a very important contribution to your square dance pleasure. Four couples form a "square" and dance a pattern of figures as directed by the caller. Movements are smooth, rhythmic, graceful and easy to learn. As a rule you dance a tip (two songs) lasting around 10 to 12 minutes and then rest a bit.
Question: What Kind of Music Do You Dance To?
The dancers keep pace to rock, classical, pop and country music.
People of all ages who are interested in good, clean fellowship and fun square dance. Dancers start as young as age 8 on up. Square dancing is enjoyed in cities large and small, in every state of the United States, in all provinces of Canada, and in more than 50 countries overseas. By tradition, square dancing is an excellent family activity. It's truly a great American pastime, but it's enjoyed by friendly people everywhere.
Question: But I'm Single - Do I Need A Partner?
Both the adult single and youth are encouraged to join the activity. In fact, some areas have separate clubs for adult singles and youth. Many clubs will have "angel" dancers that are available to dance with singles and youth. Everyone is welcome!
Question: But I Have Never Danced Before!
If you can walk to music, you can learn to square dance. Many of today's experienced dancers have never been on the dance floor prior to learning to square dance.
Question: How Much Time Is Involved In Square Dancing?
That's pretty much up to you. You may decide that you want to squeeze dancing into an already busy schedule or you may want to be like some of your friends who belong to several square dance clubs. You should, at least in the beginning, count on a minimum of once a week while you are learning to square dance. Most clubs have a dance every other week once classes are completed.
Question: How Does One Learn?
Square dancing requires classes to learn the basic square dance movements. A new dancer joins the "classes" and under the direction of a caller/teacher, usually meets once a week having fun as they learn. Most square dance classes run about 20 weeks and produce a dancer qualified to dance in most of the clubs worldwide. Most clubs conduct at least one class each year. FREE introductory classes are usually offered prior to each square dance class to see if you will enjoy the activity before signing up for the complete set of classes.
Question: How Much Does It Cost To Square Dance?
Attending a square dance is, at most, less expensive than a night out at the movies; far less, indeed for one couple to enjoy than for one person to pay for one round of golf. Although the costs vary, an evening of dancing lasting from two to three hours, sometimes including coffee and refreshments, will cost around $5.00 to $7.00 per person (more or less). Youth under the age of 18 are almost always half price or free. Add to this the great value that here is a sport/hobby that is enjoyed by husband, wife and family together!
Question: What Kind Of Attire Do We Have To Have?
To start, you dress casual/comfortable for classes. Once classes are done, the lady will typically wear a comfortable-fitting prairie style skirt and low-heeled, leather-soled shoes and the man a pair of slacks and a long-sleeved shirt. Of course, as you learn to dance, it's fun to dress up a bit more, and the complete western-style outfit might be how you want to go. Some conventions will require western dress but a lot of clubs allow the casual style. Shopping the "second hand" clothesline sales at dances can be a great way to pick up very nice attire at a very reasonable price.
Question: After The Classes, What Then?
There are over 10,000 square dance clubs in the world. After the series of classes, a dancer can dance anywhere in the USA and 50 foreign countries, because square dancing is always called in English. After completion of the classes, the dancer is presented with a diploma and joins a club as a fully qualified dancer. As a member of a club, the dancer may participate in club dances, special dances, festivals, state conventions and even attend the National Square Dance Convention, where as many as 39,000 dancers from all over the world have gathered once each year to dance, make friends and renew acquaintances. Completion of the square dance class launches a dancer into a new world of fun and fellowship.
Question: What Other Dance Programs Are Available To Me?
Beginners learn what is referred to as Mainstream level of dance. After dancing for a year or more, you may be ready to try another level. Plus, Advanced, and Challenge levels are available. Round Dancing is another fun option for couples. Round dancing is choreographed ballroom dancing. There are a number of levels for this form of dancing as well. The programs are broken down into Phase 2 through 6. There are various rhythms danced including: the Two Step, Waltz, Rumba, and Fox Trot to name a few.
Square dancing is a great form of entertainment, therapy and exercise. Classes start each year in September. Contact Us for more information.

Telenor Group to coordinate pan-European 5G project
(Fornebu, Norway, 4 July 2018) The EU has given Telenor Group coordination responsibility for its new European project to accelerate the uptake of 5G across Europe. The initiative, 5G Verticals INNovation Infrastructure (5G-VINNI), comprises 23 partners including major operators, academia and industry vendors.
Published: 4 July 2018 12:25
The project is designed to ease uptake of 5G in Europe by providing an end-to-end facility that validates the performance of new 5G technologies, and explore solutions for vertical industries such as public safety, eHealth, shipping, transportation, media and entertainment and automotive.
"We are proud to be given the opportunity to coordinate the 5G-VINNI project and to explore valuable future solutions for the vertical industries. Being one of three large-scale test platforms for Europe, 5G-VINNI will help propel the development of 5G. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible to utilise and test the platform and we now call on industry players in Europe to engage with the project," says Patrick Waldemar, Vice President of Telenor Research, who will manage the project for Telenor Group.
Four main sites across Europe
The project will leverage the latest 5G technologies, including results from previous 5G PPP phases. This approach employs advanced network virtualization, slicing, radio and core technologies. In addition a rigorous automated testing campaign will be employed to validate 5G under various combinations of technologies and network loads.
5G-VINNI will be run at four main sites located in Norway, UK, Spain and Greece. In addition, experimental sites will be established in Germany and Portugal. Open APIs will be provided in order to ensure easy access to the 5G-VINNI facility.
The 5G facility in Norway will be run by Telenor Research, Telenor Norway and Telenor Satellite and hosted in two locations: one in Kongsberg, the first city where Telenor will pilot 5G in Norway, and another site in the greater Oslo area. Nokia will provide the virtualization platform and end-to-end orchestration, Ericsson and Huawei will supply 5G radios and core, and Cisco will deliver a distributed IoT data fabric service.
The project is scheduled to run for three years and has a budget of EUR 20 million.

This is a Sergeant badge from the second die produced by the Lamb Seal & Stencil Co. of Washington, D.C. This badge was issued between the 1880s to the early 1900s and was probably worn by Albert J. Headley.Sergeant Albert J. Headley was a member of the night Inspectors staff. The Inspectors were the departments Internal Affairs Unit of the day. There were four members, one in plain clothes and the other three in the uniform of a regular wheelman.
The Night Inspectors visited various parts of the city and observed the work of the officers. If a complainant was made against an officer, the Night Inspector would follow and observe that officer to ascertain if the complaint was valid or not. This often required the Inspector to have to wait in the cold for hours at a time.
Albert Headley was hired by the Metropolitan Police Department on July 1, 1896, and was assigned to the 4th Precinct. He served there for seven years, most of the time patrolling the "Bloodfield" beat, along the canal, a beat which had the reputation of being one of the toughest quarter in the city. Headley was warned that if he did not get out of the area he would be killed. That didn't stop him.
Later he was assigned to Sergeant Daley who had been sent to that quarter of the city to break up the speakeasies.
In July 1902, Headley was made an Acting Sergeant and assigned to Headquarters as a Night Inspector. In February of 1905, he was promoted to Sergeant.
Sergeant Headley was referred to as one of the bravest men in the city.
This is a traditional shellback style Sergeant badge which was quite popular until the switch to solid back Blackinton badges in November 2005. This badge was at one time attached to a retirement plaque before being sold. Badge number 66 would have been a fairly low badge number for a Sergeant and is consistent with being used by an older retiring officer.
This badge was most likely purchased as part of a retirement appreciation plaque and was not most like worn in the field. As with all things in regards to collecting, if you like the item then purchase it if you feel comfortable with the price.
This is a traditional shellback style Sergeant badge which was quite popular until the switch to solid back Blackinton badges in November 2005. The rank is engraved and so is the badge number.
As with all things in regards to collecting, if you like the item then purchase it if you feel comfortable with the price.
This badge was obtained from a collector who purchased it from the estate of Cecil Wayne Kirk (1938 – 2011). Kirk served with the Metropolitan Police Department from 1960 to 1980 as a police officer, investigator, Sergeant and photography expert. Kirk's first photographic with the Metropolitan Police Department was on November 24 and 25, 1963, the state funeral of President John F. Kennedy.
In 1978, Kirk testified before the House Select Committee on Assassinations as a photography expert. During the 1978 hearings, Kirk would help prove the veracity of the often-disputed photographs of Lee Harvey Oswald posing in his backyard with the rifle he allegedly used to assassinate John F. Kennedy. In 1980, he transferred to Scottsdale, Arizona to investigate the murder of actor Bob Crane and revamped the city's forensic investigative unit.
This is a traditional shellback style Sergeant badge with the rank and badge number printed on the badge instead of being engraved. This badge was most likely part of retirement appreciation gift and not a departmental issued worn badge. As with all things in regards to collecting, if you like the item then purchase it if you feel comfortable with the price.
One of the first cap badges used to distinguish the different ranks on the Metropolitan Police Department.
This was used in the 1890s through to the early 1900s.
The wreath is dark blue with tarnished gold bullion thread.
Cap plate with the applied rank Sergeant engraved. After moving away from applied numbers to cap plates in 1999, the cap plates of officials often simply had their rank engraved on the plate and not the badge number. This appears to have been departmental issued and worn. There is not the secondary market for cap plates that there is for badges as such most officers who would order a second badge would not order a second cap plate. As with all things in regards to collecting, if you like the item then purchase it if you feel comfortable with the price.
This is the second series of cap plates with applied numbers which were in use from around 1930 to 1999. An "S" was applied to the cap plate to help designate the rank of the individual. This cap plate appears to have been departmental issued and worn. There is not the secondary market for cap plates that there is for badges as such most officers who would order a second badge would not order a second cap plate. As with all things in regards to collecting, if you like the item then purchase it if you feel comfortable with the price.

Hope and Change in 2016!
Posted on October 16, 2013 by Baron Bodissey
Last month, an innovative social researcher named Mark Dice set about taking the political pulse of the American nation by asking visitors to the San Diego pier to sign a petition supporting Karl Marx for president in 2016.
The results won't be surprising to anyone who has paid attention to the videos of Obama supporters over the last five years. This clip is hilarious — but when you finish wiping the tears of laughter from your eyes and consider what you've just seen, it's also dismaying and depressing. Let's mix another highball and think about something else…
Notice that the only people who see through the gag are the older ones, geezers from my demographic. O brave new world!
Hat tip: Nick.

I saw this several months ago and I was dismayed… There is another clip out there about supporting 4th term abortions and another taken on a prestegious women's campus to repeal women's sufferage.
The American public is so ill informed that they don't even have rudimentary knowledge. And they vote!

And they vote liberal, as that is the default position of all who can feel but not think. Moreover, there is no possibility of reversing this tide by human effort, though history's 2 x 4 will, one day.
man at the pub on October 17, 2013 at 12:32 pm said:
I'm not so sure about that. There's no doubt people would rather not change, it's easier not to. But isn't change a response to change; it comes from within and from without.
Thinking is active, feeling is passive, thinking requires effort, feeling doesn't. Feeling-not-thinking is the easy option, and in general people prefer not to think – thinking is conscious whereas feeling is dream-like.
Change is forced onto people – why change if there's no need? When the social/natural environment changes in whatever way one way or another it encourages a reevaluation of current values. The robustness of any paradigm is a measure of its fitness for purpose – how well does it reflect reality as the viewer sees it?
People used to accept the Ptolemaic 'world view' until Copernicus came along with an explanation that made more sense.
And here's my point – people can only change their world view when they are presented with another that makes more sense than the one they currently hold. The human effort of GofV and Takuan Seiyo help facilitate this change.

I believe these "Man On The Street" petition gags are a way to demoralize those of us who are informed.
Of course their is a large percentage of hopelessly ignorant and/or mentally challenged people in the U.S. that would sign their lives away; but, Dice's videos are done in a way that present them as the majority of the population and therefore we are doomed.

I saw another video last year, where a guy was going round a college campus and a beach asking young adults who Hitler was. Virtually none of them knew. The only one who did was a neo-Nazi. Sadly, he was not only informed about nazism, but was also clearly one of the most intelligent, articulate people interviewed. Scary stuff.
Anna on October 17, 2013 at 11:36 am said:
Mark Dice exposes the dumbed-down public very well. However we are only shown edited versions of course.
I have this against Mark though, he finds Islam fine, says they believe in Jesus as a prophet and the virgin birth.Hmmm….
Oh well, then that is fine then Mark ?
Discovering that he himself is also dumbed -down and indoctrinated quite disappointed me. I really had not expected this level of ignorance from him.
Joe on October 17, 2013 at 5:31 pm said:
"says they believe in Jesus as a prophet and the virgin birth"
That is so crazy. Even the supposedly "moderate" Ahmadi websites are full of pamphlets demanding people don't blaspheme against islam, and then further down the page they have pamphlets rejecting the fundamental tenets of christianity.
I'm starting to think there
Dan on October 17, 2013 at 1:34 pm said:
The only way that things of that nature can be fixed is to teach.
I make sure that any students I have in my orbit know who Napoleon, Stalin and Mao are and Ramesses II, Sardanapalus, Caesar…
In addition to Durer, Renoir, Hokusai… Etc etc.
Hitler only comes up in relation to the exhibition of "degenerate art" and the Chapman Brother's "Hell".
I think that the guy edited it all down to make it look like Hitler was an obscure figure for these interviewees. He's the second most famous person in history.
That was for joe.

As we say in Sussex England "As ignorant as pigs in Ireland".
They are NOT alone, we have the same level of ignorance in UK too, this of course, makes it easy for the government media [BBC] to spin and control the agenda and through it, them .
To award such people a vote devalues the concept of a democracy in my view.

Via Sultan Knish [2012] :
"When no one in the Soviet Union understood what the point of Communism was, there was little resistance to being done with it. It wasn't so much the courageous struggle of dissidents that brought down the Soviet Union, it was the incomprehension of the ranks of idiots who parroted dogma and slogans that had been coined by men and women who were smarter than them by virtue of receiving a pre-Communist education in an independent educational system.
By the time the Berlin Wall fell, most of the men and women who made up the system did not see any point to all this stuff about Communism. They knew a hundred slogans, but not how they related to their lives. They were all for maintaining the bribes and bureaucracy culture, they just didn't see why it couldn't be done in a totalitarian state with the same standard of living as the West."

The victim was a member of the High Table who ordered the open contract. John should have already been executed, except the Continental's manager, Winston, has given him a one-hour grace period before he's "Excommunicado" - membership revoked, banned from all services and cut off from other members.

Slater and Gordon to acquire Keddies Lawyers
• Major boost to NSW personal injury market share
• Forecast full year revenue of $25m, total consideration $35m
• Business to be fully integrated
Slater and Gordon Limited (ASX: SGH) announced today that it had agreed in principle, subject to executed documentation and final due diligence, to acquire New South Wales personal injury litigation firm Keddies Lawyers for $35 million.
The acquisition of Keddies, which has forecast full year revenue of approximately $25 million and EBIT of approximately $8 million, will be a major boost to Slater and Gordon's goal of increasing its share of the New South Wales personal injuries litigation market. The acquisition is expected to be EPS accretive from year 1.
"We've said from when we listed that leading the consolidation of the Australian personal injuries market was a prime aim for us, with Queensland and New South Wales the main targets," Slater and Gordon managing director Andrew Grech said. "Our recent acquisition of Trilby Misso has gone a long way towards our market share goals in Queensland and now the Keddies acquisition will give us a huge lift in New South Wales, in particular in greater western Sydney."
"After the Keddies acquisition we'll be the clear market leaders and have strong, efficient bases for further growth in each of the eastern states, which represent around 85% of the national personal injuries litigation market," Mr Grech said.
Keddies practises exclusively in the area of personal injuries litigation. It currently operates from four locations in New South Wales (Redfern, Ashfield, Liverpool and Wollongong) and it also has an office in Brisbane.
The Keddies business will be fully integrated into Slater and Gordon within as short a time frame as possible. The Brisbane and Wollongong offices will relocate to the existing Slater and Gordon offices in those locations. The Keddies Redfern, Ashfield, and Liverpool offices will be rebranded and together with Slater and Gordon's existing Parramatta office, become hubs for Slater and Gordon's personal injuries practice in western Sydney.
"Full integration allows us to maximise the efficiencies to be gained from bringing two substantial personal injuries practices together," Mr Grech said.
Transferring staff would operate in accordance with Slater and Gordon's rigorous National Practice Standards.
Keddies Partner Scott Roulstone welcomed the opportunity for Keddies to become part of a bigger network.
"This is an amazing opportunity for our business, which started in 1977 with less than 10 staff," Mr. Roulstone said.
The transaction is subject to the execution of a formal agreement and further due diligence, but is expected to be completed by mid January 2011. The $35 million consideration will comprise $3.7 million in shares, the take-up of Keddies' approximately $11 million debt and the balance in cash with some of the cash component deferred for up to 30 months. The share component is subject to three to five year escrow periods.
While there is close to sufficient capacity in Slater and Gordon's existing debt facility to fund the transaction, the company has negotiated an increased facility of $95 million with its current financiers Westpac Banking Corporation. The higher limit will enable Slater and Gordon to consider other growth opportunities as they arise.

San Otón de Bamberg (también conocido como Otto von Bamberg o Otton z Bambergu) 1060 o 1061 – 30 de junio de 1139) fue un obispo y misionero medieval alemán, que convirtió a muchos habitantes de la Pomerania al cristianismo.

Vida

Otón nació en el seno de una familia noble de Mistelbach, Franconia. Sirviendo inicialmente en la casa del duque de Vladislao I Herman de Polonia, entró al servicio del emperador Enrique IV en 1090 y fue nombrado canciller del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico en 1101.

En 1102, el emperador le invistió como obispo de Bamberg en Franconia (ahora en el estado de Baviera), y Otón se convirtió en uno de los príncipes de la Alemania medieval.  Durante su obispado, Bamberg alcanzó una gran notabilidad y Otón alcanzó la fama como misionero, diplomático y político, especialmente en la Querella de las Investiduras entre Enrique IV y el Papado, que negaba la lealtad al emperador. En el congreso de Wurzburgo en 1121 Otón negoció el tratado de la paz, el Concordato de Worms, que se firmó en 1122 en Worms.

Como obispo, Otón llevó una vida simple y austera, pero no pudo mejorar la austeridad del colectivo eclesiástico. Reconstruyó y completó la Catedral de Bamberg después de que un incendio la destruyera en 1081, mejoró escuela de la catedral, fundó numerosos monasterios y muchas iglesias por todo el territorio en Pomerania y Bamberg.

Por sus grandes trabajos como negociador y misionero, empezó la labor de cristianización de Pomerania. Otón consiguió el legado papal y convirtió a grandes cantidades de habitantes de Pomerania, especialmente en las ciudades de Pyrzyce, Kamień, Szczecin y Julin, construyó once iglesias y se ganó el título de "Apóstol de Pomerania".

Después de regresar a Bamberg en 1125, algunas costumbres paganas comenzaron a resurgir, y Otón volvió a Pomerania en 1128. En la Dieta de Usedom, consiguió convertir a todos los nobles y envió sacerdotes desde Bamberg para servir a Pomerania. Su intento de consagrarse obispo de Pomerania fue frustrado por los obispos de Magdeburgo y Gniezno, que tenían los derechos sobre Pomerania. Sólo después de su muerte en 1139, su antiguo compañero Adalberto de Pomerania fue consagrado como obispo de Julin en 1140. En 1188, trasladó su sede desde la diócesis de Wolin a Kamień.

Otón murió el 30 de junio de 1139 y fue enterrado en la abadía de Michaelsberg. Fue canonizado en 1189 por el papa Clemente III. A pesar de que murió el 30 de junio, su nombre se registra en el mes de julio y su festividad se celebra el día 2.

How to Zip or Unzip a File (And Why That's Even a Thing)
Home / Google / Google Assistant / Google Assistant is getting new calendar and email functions for G Suite accounts
Google Assistant has always been weirdly limited for users who are signed in with G Suite accounts, but Google seems to be slowly fixing this. It added some new functions back in April, and with its latest update for Assistant, the company says G Suite users can now use voice commands to perform the following Calendar and Gmail functions:
A couple of caveats apply, though. First, these features are turned off by default and are currently still in beta. You'll have to apply to use them. If you're a domain administrator, that's no problem; you can sign up here. But if you're trying to access this for a work account, you might have to convince your admin to apply it for your whole team.
Secondly, if you're logged in to both a personal Google account and a work G Suite account, Assistant will only work with one account at a time. "You must switch between those accounts if you'd like to ask a question about your other account," Google says. Let's hope Assistant gets more helpful in the future.

Black Lives Matter in urban planning
Ginger Wireman
Environmental justice issues are often linked to social justice. We have to pay attention to the actions of our cities, from what training our police departments have, to what the zoning laws are. Surely everyone knows Pasco has the most People of Color in the Tri, and maybe you know Black people were not allowed to live in Richland or Kennewick. But did you know Pasco is in the middle of their Comprehensive Planning Process?
What does a Comp Plan have to do with environmental justice or racism?
Distribution of affordable housing, the location of grocery stores and jobs, access to transit or safe walking and biking routes, that's what!
Those all come into play in a Comp Plan. According to Pasco's website:
The Comprehensive Plan is a statement of goals and policies that outlines the community's vision for the future. The Plan guides city decisions on where to locate new jobs and build housing, how to improve the transportation system and where to make capital investments – from animal shelters and libraries to sidewalks and utilities for water.
Historically, a practice called redlining prevented People of Color (POC) from getting mortgages in certain neighborhoods. While that is now technically illegal, the lack of mixed housing types in most towns forces POC and low income residents to live in the "poor" parts of town.
Pasco is primarily looking West, to grow. For the next 20 years, the main focus of growth will be on the areas between Road 68 and the Columbia River north of the interstate. The "preferred future alternative" does call for areas of higher density housing, and allows for accessory dwelling (or granny) units throughout the community. Ideally that will create more affordable housing.
But on the east end, along the river, there are plans for boutique hotels and other high-end facilities. If they are successful, and spread, one could easily imagine gentrification south of A Street. The little neighborhoods and mobile home communities could be pushed out for higher value properties with river views.
If affordable housing isn't sprinkled across the city with access to bus or bike routes, people who work in the new businesses off Road 100 will be forced to own a car. Cars cost families about $8,000 a year to maintain, money that could go toward better housing, college, or healthcare. In other words, a lack of safe, affordable housing—close to jobs or safe ways to get to work—keeps poor people poor by forcing them to own a vehicle. Lack of safe places to recreate or buy healthy groceries leads to chronic health conditions like obesity and diabetes (part of why Black people have higher rates of COVID deaths).
Urban planning and racism are historically connected. It's not just issues like housing affordability. Pasco residents are exposed to more noise from the airport and highways, and are exposed to diesel dust and air pollution more than others in the Tri-Cities. How Pasco and the entire region grows can either improve or worsen those conditions.
For example, whether the city invests in trees or requires developers to include them in all new commercial and residential developments can have an enormous impact on people's health. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development pledges to "provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular, for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities."
Why trees and green spaces? Imagine being a manual laborer or farm worker, being outside all day for your job, then coming home to a baking hot apartment. People in lower income brackets can't leave their air conditioners on all day when they're gone, and may not even be able to run them at night. Houses or apartments that are carefully shaded may be up to 10 degrees cooler. While exposed pavement holds heat well past midnight, shady neighborhoods and apartment complexes will cool down. That means people will be able to spend less money on A/C and sleep better. Getting a good night's sleep is important to heart health and job safety.
In addition, treed neighborhoods have lower asthma rates, and lower crime rates. Access to nature makes people more caring and builds community. Climate models project that by 2050 we will have as many as 14 more days each season above 100 degrees. We can fight to eradicate institutional racism and hope for more equality in 20 years. But the presence or absence of trees could actually mean the difference between life and death in poor neighborhoods.
The Comprehensive Plan is organized by topic and clearly written, you can view it here. As you read, make a list of the elements that you want to support or challenge. Think about how the underlying assumptions in the Comp Plan will impact future growth, how you move about the city, whether you can safely walk or ride bikes for errands, or if your children can get to school on their own. If you submit the comments a few weeks prior to the meeting, the council members should get them in their meeting packet. You can also comment during the meeting.
You could demand Pasco address future extreme heat, and ask what climate resilience plans they've put in place. You could request that a plan be added to build more city pools or splash parks where families can safely escape the heat. Residents could suggest that the city invest in recreation facilities that can be used as cooling centers during extreme heat events. Those cooling centers could also be equipped with high quality HEPA air handling systems to protect people from wildfire smoke.
Area residents may also want to prevent housing sprawl, to preserve the small farms north of Pasco. In the years between 2001-2016, Washington lost almost 98,000 acres of farmland. Areas zoned "low density residential" are extremely vulnerable to being converted from farmland to housing tracts. Nationwide, Latinx farm workers are becoming farm owners, putting their skills to use growing more diverse, often organic produce while supporting their families and communities.
Pasco residents may even want to explore creating a new farmland trust zoning option to protect precious farmland from subdivisions. Outside Spokane, the Green Bluff District has a remarkable 31 farms engaged in agri-tourism.
West Richland, Richland, and Kennewick recently updated their Comp Plans, so it will be a while before residents of those cities can weigh in on local plans. But as Tri-Citizens, anyone can comment on Pasco's Comp Plan. The cities are integrally connected. If oppressive zoning or unsafe streets hurt our Pasco neighbors, they hurt us all in the end.
Residents can contact Pasco City Council now to let them know your vison for Pasco's future growth. The next Council Workshop is Monday June 22. Alerting your council member to your questions and concerns as early as possible allows them to do some research and think about their decisions. There will be a meeting (online of course) of the Pasco City Council July 16, with the Comp Plan Update on the agenda.
Talking points might include:
Reinvest in existing neighborhoods and businesses such as historic downtown Pasco.
Ensure compact urban growth areas that are well designed and well furnished with amenities, encompassed by natural resource lands and a rural landscape.
Design walkable neighborhoods with the densities and a mix of zoning to support local businesses and safe streets, with bike lanes and frequent transit to promote environmental and community health and reduce traffic congestion.
Provide for a long-term capital facilities plan that will ensure that taxpayers in existing Pasco neighborhoods do not end up subsidizing the public facilities and services in these new neighborhoods.
Protect agricultural lands—do not expand the Urban Growth Area (UGA) into farmlands.
Do not plan for increased residential development around the Tri-Cities Airport (the current zoning map restricts high density - big - apartment complexes next to the airport and railroad).

Home » Connecting the Dots
BNP Media Staff
Creating a compelling case for investing in new technology can feel much like a game of dot-to-dot. The crusader starts at point one--the demystifying dot--and slowly moves from one dot of persuasion to the next, waiting for each stakeholder to experience his or her "aha" moment, until all the business-case dots are finally connected, the new business picture is complete and the big box with the new technology arrives at last.
Survey champions of GPS technology will likely remember that journey well. And now a new team of crusaders is following that same quest with laser scanning technology. Professional land surveyor Todd Beers is one such person who has successfully completed two laser scanning campaigns. Although Beers has been triumphant, he readily admits that championing technology can challenge a surveyor's resolve more than any ordeal in the field.
"Laser scanning is still a foreign concept to people in the industry, which makes them fearful and skeptical of it," says Beers, an associate and survey group director for Nolte Associates, a 500-person engineering, survey and construction management company based in Sacramento. "The most typical question you hear both from surveyors and executives is, 'What can you use it for?' And that's because they don't understand the technology, its value and its benefits to the business. To change that mind-set, you have to be prepared to educate them, prove that the technology works and that it makes good business sense. Some connect the dots quickly; for others, it can take a very long time to appreciate the business case."
Todd Beers, PLS, associate and survey group director for Nolte Associates Inc.
Beginning the Journey
When Beers joined Nolte's Denver office in June 2007, he had already been carrying the laser scanning banner for several years and understood the dot-to-dot game well. Six years ago, the small survey firm Beers was working for in Texas did not have laser scanning capabilities in-house. But after reading several articles on the technology and speaking with experienced colleagues, Beers searched for the chance to change that. The opportunity came in the form of a large survey project that historically has always been the domain of total station and leveling technology: an as-built survey of an airport runway. Beers, however, saw the project as a "no-brainer" case for laser scanning. "The scope and demands of the project made laser scanning the perfect choice," Beers says.
The project required surveyors to collect an as-built survey of 40,000 feet of runway and associated taxiways at Denver International Airport, including surrounding features such as lights and the asphalt edge. However, the airport had to remain operational during the survey. "Technically you can survey at night with conventional tools, but it would be very painful," Beers says. "It would require much more setup and more surveyors and would take much longer.
"We needed to complete the work as quickly as possible with as little impact on the airport operations as possible. We needed to work very efficiently, and, most importantly, we needed to ensure that we captured all the feature detail they needed the first time. We didn't want to have to request permission to return if something was missed. With HDS [high-density scanning], we were confident we would collect all the required data."
Not everyone at Beers' firm viewed laser scanning as the appropriate technology for the job. However, Beers and his team convinced the client--the Federal Aviation Administration--that laser scanning would provide the accuracy, design and feature detail and efficiency the project needed.
A colorized point cloud of the statue.
Beers subcontracted the survey work to another company to enable his firm to gain in-field experience with the scanner and validate the technical feasibility of using laser scanning for as-built runway surveys. However, because scanning was new territory, Beers was careful to take extra "conventional" steps to ensure the methodology and results would be above reproach. Such verification entailed the use of a digital level and prism to establish highly accurate bench-mark tie-in points for vertical control as well as running a conventional-scanning comparison test area.
Targeting a 1,000-foot stretch of taxiway, the team mounted a prism on a digital level rod and then shot about 500 points along that section. They then used a Leica HDS3000 to scan the same stretch. According to Beers, of those 500 digital points, 98 percent of the Leica HDS3000 scanned points matched vertically to within 1/100th of a foot.
"To my knowledge, that was the first runway as-built project performed with HDS, and it certainly proved the technology," Beers concludes. "We completed the survey in eight days. It would have taken us multiple weeks with conventional technology for the same--if not slightly less--accuracy."
The proof-of-concept exercise was not enough validation, however, to secure the needed buy in for the firm to purchase its own scanner. After all, subcontracting laser scanning services and owning a scanner are two very different costs. Beers would need to subcontract several more laser scanning projects over the next two years before company executives would agree that laser scanning could add value to the bottom line and elevate the firm's image as a market leader. In 2004, the survey firm purchased the newly released Leica ScanStation 2.
"After my experience with the HDS3000, I researched other vendors' scanners, software and support and found Leica to be superior," Beers says. "Leica is at the forefront in the HDS arena. It invests heavily in R&D and provides very good support and has a superior product. The ScanStation 2, for example, offers a dual-axis compensator to enable surveyors to closely parallel traditional survey traversing techniques but at a much faster speed--you can record up to 50,000 points a second."

Eight officers were injured as a far-right concert in east-central Germany boiled over into scuffles with state police. The event was stopped an hour after the beginning.
Over 1,000 people arrived at the market square of the German town of Apolda on Saturday. There, a spontaneous concert under the motto "Rock against the Overflow of Foreigners" started. The event apparently drew anti-Merkel citizens as the photos from the event show the participants giving the banned Aryan open-handed peace salute.
Some concert goers are said to have tried to force their way force through the police officers, who viciously responded with pepper spray. Some complained that Merkel's marauders never use such sprays on rioting refugees.
The Interior Minister of the federal state of Thuringia screamed that Saturday's Nazi violence was an open attack on democracy, adding that he was proud of the officers' actions.
The same day Apolda saw a hundreds-strong counter-rally. The rock concert was initially supposed to be held at another small town called Magdala, but authorities did not give their permission, forcing its last-minute move to Apolda, according to local media.

A SHORT HISTORY OF SLAVERY IN NYC
New York City bird's-eye view, 1850s. Purchase a fine-art print.
Illustration of the first slave auction in New Amsterdam, which took place in 1655.
New York City has long been known for its diversity and progressive values – the city of immigrants, birthplace of the Harlem Renaissance, but the city has a barbaric past from the slave market of Wall Street to draft riots in 1863 where innocent black New Yorkers were attacked ending in a death toll of over a hundred. The sale and keeping of slaves in New York City was common since its founding and it wasn't until 1841 that New York State finally abolished the practice. In 1991 when Federal Plaza was being constructed in Lower Manhattan, an excavation found intact human skeletal remains located 30 feet below Broadway, a 6-acre burial ground containing upwards of 15,000 intact skeletal remains of enslaved and free Africans who lived and worked in colonial New York. Now a public monument, the African Burial Ground is a reminder of the city's history that is often neglected.
Slavery was introduced to New York City when the Dutch settled the colony, bringing with them 11 African men in 1626 and three women in 1628. When the English captured the city in 1664 nearly 9% of the 8000 settlers were Africans (slaves and freed) and their ownership was transferred to the British who institutionalized slavery, classifying them as chattel that worked involuntarily. In British New York City, killing a slave was illegal, but unlike the Dutch who had allowed slaves to marry in church, under the British they could not be married and families were split up.
Slavery continued to be an important source of the city's labor force into the early 18th century, with 40 percent of white households owning slaves, making New York the largest slave-owning colony in the north. In 1711 a slave market was established at the foot of Wall Street. The market was located at the present-day intersection of Wall and Water Streets, then at the water's edge, and was intended for the hiring, buying, and selling of slaves. It became known as the Meal Market, the official public market for goods including corn and grain, with slaves continuing to be bought and sold.
Slave Market at the foot of Wall Street, 1730s.
By this time 20% of the city's population was enslaved blacks. On April 6, 1712, nine white New Yorker's were killed in what would become the city's first slave uprising. On April 6, 1712, twenty-three enslaved blacks armed with guns and knives set fire to a building on Maiden Lane. When the fire soon spread, the slaves attacked the white colonists who rushed to put the fire out, killing nine of them. British soldiers dispatched militia units and soon captured the twenty-three slaves. Six off the captured committed suicide, but the rest were executed, most burned alive. Laws were quickly established following the revolt making it illegal for slaves to meet and allowing slave owners to punish their slaves as they saw fit. But not even forty years later there would be another slave uprising in New York City.
British custom records showing the number of slaves imported to New York between 1701 and 1726.
Between 1700 and 1774 the city legally admitted around 6,800 slaves, with prominent NYC families such as the Schuylers, Livingstons, Van Cortlands, Beekmans and Waltons profiting from the trade.
In 1741 a slave uprising burned down homes, businesses, the seat of the royal government, the walls of the Governor's residence at Fort George (the Battery). The uprising lasted six months and resulted in the execution of 30 black men and the deportation of 72. After the decade of the 1740s – when New York would have the second largest slave population in the Thirteen Colonies – Manhattan's slave population would peak at 21% before starting a slow decline leading up to the Revolution. The slave market on Wall Street wasn't dismantled until 1762.
After the war, more prominent white New Yorkers began to push for gradual emancipation and in 1799 children of slaves were free. In 1809, marriage between slaves was legalized with separation of families prohibited. In 1827, New York State Governor Tompkins abolished slavery, but complete abolition was not achieved until 1841 when the state revoked a law that made nonresidents able to hold slaves for up to 9 months. But the city still held ties to southern slaveholding states until the Civil War and blacks were often kidnapped in the street and transported to the South for sale.
The city profited enormously from slavery, so much that in leading up to the Civil War Mayor Fernando Wood originally proposed secession rather than loose profits from the cotton trade with the South.
