Part 4 in series on personal branding Sometimes called Good Queen Bess, Gloriana, or The Virgin Queen, the second daughter of Henry VIII became Queen Elizabeth I of England at the age of 25. She quickly and masterfully defined herself in the eyes of her people -- that is, she established her personal brand.
At a disadvantage from the beginning because she was female, protestant, and the daughter of the executed Anne Boleyn, she was also coming into power after the death of her half-sister Mary, aka "Bloody Mary." Elizabeth needed to establish a firm base of power that her courtiers and her people could respect and accept. In her case, facing the likelihood of Catholic assassins, a strong personal brand was truly a matter of life or death.
Elizabeth had been in training for royalty for a long time. She knew what she wanted: Increased world trade, supreme naval power, religious unity, and economic prosperity. She didn't care for war, but did not shrink from it in order to protect and defend her power and her nation.
To those ends, Elizabeth not only created a powerful persona, but also "positioned" herself as a strong and just ruler, a most noble and formidable king in a gentle woman's body.
Positioning is a way to define yourself to your audience in a positive and memorable way, while differentiating yourself from your competitors or predecessors.
For the people of England, France and Ireland, we (the royal we) descend under divine right from Britain's greatest monarchs, to establish peace, religious unity, international trade and naval dominance, and to maintain their well-being, security and prosperity.
Elizabeth based her claim to the throne first on history, descending from the Trojans, linking to King Arthur and Henry VIII. This history and provides the background to her many symbolic portraits, and to this she added color choices, iconography, and especially consistency.
Elizabeth did not care to sit for portraits so eventually artists were given "approved" facial forms to paint from, adding to the consistency and agelessness of her persona.
In addition to portraits, Elizabeth's persona was communicated (and sometimes created for her) through poetry, drama, music and architecture.
Elizabeth had no advertising or social media to broadcast her message, so of course portraits were the best way to establish her persona. After the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, a famous portrait (above) shows her with the ships in the background and her feet upon a map of the world. Her hand rests on a globe below the crown, her fingers cover the Americas, indicating England's plans for expansion , and she is flanked by two columns suggesting her history. In the background the ships are driven to dark destruction while Elizabeth enjoys the sunlight.
In what is known as "the pelican portrait" she wears pearls indicating purity, the Tudor rose indicating unity, and a pendant that shows a pelican mother caring for her young. In Elizabeth's time, mother pelicans symbolized self sacrifice of mothers to care for their young, and as an icon represented Elizabeth as mother and protector of her Protestant nation and her subjects.
As Elizabeth aged and determined that she would never marry, she became famous for her virginity -- even though many believed she'd had a long-term love affair with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. She was celebrated as The Virgin Queen in the portraits, pageants and literature of the day.
Virginity was a courtly ideal. In younger days Elizabeth's virginity had represented her purity, innocence and chastity, making her a perfect bride for some wealthy prince. As she aged and all suitors were refused, her virginity was spun into a maternal sacrifice of herself for her country and her people, lending an air of holiness to her reign.
Elizabeth was also immortalized by the poet Edmund Spenser in his epic The Faerie Queen, where she was represented as a goddess and the embodiment of beauty and virtue. In reality, about this time her skin had been damaged by small pox, she'd lost much of her hair, and had to wear wigs and heavy makeup. Still, her gowns in some portraits are magnificent constructions of high shoulders and great wings. The Rainbow Portrait, painted when Elizabeth was in her 60s, is actually one of her sexiest, with her white floral bodice, her loose hair and elaborate headdress, a mantle draped over one shoulder, and a cloak designed with eyes and ears motif, the serpent of wisdom on her sleeve, the a rainbow with the motto "no rainbow without the sun." She reminds me of the recording artist Cher in this one: Ageless and outlandish.
In spite of many difficulties during her reign, Elizabeth remained popular with the majority of her subjects, and was praised as a heroine of the Protestant cause and the ruler of a golden age. Following her death in 1603, the date of her accession was a national holiday for 200 years.
So what can be gleaned from Elizabeth's positioning in terms of personal branding?
Your persona must support your positioning statement.
Once developed, positioning can guide your marketing strategy and tactics to serve you for the long-term.
The choices you make to represent your brand, such as colors, imagery and messaging, should be thoughtful and consistent, repeated again and again.
To create a good positioning statement you should (1) define your target audience, (2) include the frame of reference, as in the category or genre in which you operate, (3) articulate the benefit or unique qualities being offered and (4) give customers a reason to believe you will deliver on your promise.
Next week, part 5 of the series will focus on Louis XIV.

Q: Data Import Wizard for Custom Object (Mapping Date Created / Last Modified Fields) If I am importing a custom object using the CSV data import wizard, how do I create a "Date Created" field and also change the "Last Modified" field on the object.
It doesn't seem like such fields exist.

A: Created date is created authomaticly after insert of record. But you can also import value for this field - you have to create case to salesforce support. Only they can give you permission to set this field value.
Please check:
https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=087300000006to7

A: All objects have such fields. In order to insert data into them, you have to submit a request to support. You must indicate that you are importing legacy data, and state how long (up to 90 days) that you need these fields to be accessible. They are only accessible for new records inserted through a data loading tool like Data Loader - I don't think you'd be able to use the regular import wizard.

Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Lineups, preview & prediction 5/25/18
The Cavs will be desperate to stave off elimination on their home floor as the Celtics look to close them out in Game 6.

Betting tip
(USA TODAY Sports via Reuters/Winslow Townson)
The Boston Celtics are one win away from the NBA Finals. The Celtics did what they've done all postseason long — win at home — as they toppled the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5, 96-83. Jayson Tatum, who has been fairly quiet in this series, finally had his breakout game. He had a terrific all-around performance as he finished with 24 points, seven rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocks. Running mates Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier were both off, but it didn't matter as the Celtics defense once again did a number on the Cavs.
As for Cleveland, it was the same old story. LeBron James played well, but he didn't get anywhere near the type of production he needed from his supporting cast. Growing desperate, Tyronn Lue played Jordan Clarkson in search for more offense. After hitting two 3-pointers in the first half, Clarkson finished with just eight points on 3-of-10 shooting in 15 minutes. Meanwhile, JR Smith (two points, 1-of-6 FG) and George Hill (seven points, 1-of-5 FG) were both unable to carry over their improved shooting in Cleveland on the road.
Home-court advantage - It's no secret at this point that the Celtics are just a completely different team on the road than they are at home. That puts their ability to close out a LeBron James-led team on the road in serious doubt. That fact alone should give the Cavs a lot of confidence in pushing this series to a Game 7.
Cavs supporting cast - But the Cavs still need to play well to win. Correction: the non-LeBron Cavs need to play well. The good news is they have been a lot better for the most part at home. Smith and Hill, in particular, were finally hitting shots in Games 3 and 4 before completely disappearing once again in Game 5. If two or three role players can step up and play even competent basketball, James should have enough help to stave off elimination.
Celtics defense - The Boston offense has just fallen off a cliff whenever they've gone on the road in the postseason. It's happened enough times where it's unlikely that that changes. But their defense is still amazing, as they showed in Game 5. Even if their shots aren't falling, they could still end the series if they can keep the other Cavs quiet like they have during the Boston games.
Aron Baynes vs Tristan Thompson - Brad Stevens finally put Baynes in the starting lineup in Game 5, and the Aussie did his job. He contributed to Tristan Thompson (one point, six rebounds) having by far his worst game of the series. If Baynes can help prevent the Celtics from getting out-muscled on the boards on the road, that would be big for Boston.

EA in for Codemasters as Take-Two withdraws bid
PG - George Hill | SG - JR Smith | SF - LeBron James | PF - Kevin Love | C - Tristan Thompson
Jaylen Brown had his worst shooting night of the series in Game 5 as he went just 4-of-15 from the field. But he still finished with 17 points, three boards, and two assists. He's likely to bounce back though, and after seeing what he did in Game 4 in Cleveland (25 points, six rebounds, two steals), he could be bound for another big game.
As for the Cavs, Hill was the big difference-maker for them in Games 3 and 4 in Cleveland. He had 13 points in both games, and also added some rebounds and steals. At this point, he feels like a safer bet than Smith to provide a meaningful fantasy contribution in a game where they need any sort of production from him.
It's hard not to see the Cavs winning this game. Obviously, there's the massive home-road discrepancy in this series that's tough to ignore. This could possibly be LeBron James' last game ever in Cleveland, and he likely won't want to go out losing to an undermanned Celtics team. Take the Cavs to win and cover.
The Cavs take this series to a decisive Game 7 as they take care of business at home, 108-100.
This game will be broadcast on ESPN. Tip-off is at 8:30 pm Eastern.

FACES BEHIND ATROCITY / JAN 12
Engine presents Faces Behind Atrocity to raise awareness of human trafficking
Please join Engine at an opening reception of Faces Behind Atrocity, an exhibition featuring the work of award-winning American documentary photographer Matilde Simas of Boston on Saturday, January 12, 2019 from 3-5pm. January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month and this exhibition intends to raise awareness of trafficking happening here in Maine as well as worldwide. The exhibition will run through February 16, 2019. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday 1pm-6pm and Saturdays 11am-2pm.
Human trafficking is globally pervasive, economically motivated, and emotionallyoverwhelming. Faces Behind Atrocity is a portrait series about child survivors of human trafficking that Simas created for a United Nations World Day Against Trafficking in Persons campaign. A Kenyan based nonprofit, HAART Kenya, granted Matilde access to their organization to document the healing process of these young women. HAART Kenya works exclusively on combating human trafficking in Kenya and empowering its victims. The individuals photographed are girls, ages 13-16 from four different nations who have been rescued from the horrors of the trafficking world and are in the healing process. In collaboration with the survivors, Matilde Simas worked to provide a forum for healing through art. In this portrait series low lighting was used to evoke a mood of deception and secrecy that has been endured. In a pure example of courage, many of these women chose to hide their faces behind a mask to protect their identity. In addition to providing a visual representation of their resilience, beauty, and strength, each woman recorded a written testimony of how they were led into trafficking and the atrocities they faced. Faces Behind Atrocity, has received an International Photography Award, Tokyo International Foto Award, and a PRIX de La Photographie Paris Award. Simas says "Despite increasing efforts and a global movement to raise awareness about theatrocities of human trafficking, many people remain unaware that modern day slaverypersists in alarming numbers. As an artist, I want to stir public awareness of humantrafficking and modern-day slavery. By engaging the public through art, I can helptransform public perceptions; educate individuals, communities, and policy makers; andinspire action to put an end to this horrific crime against humanity."
This is the second exhibition that Engine Executive Director Tammy Ackerman has slated to honor National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. In January of 2018, Engine hosted an educational exhibit of photo collages by Kay Chernush, the director of D.C.-based ArtWorks for Freedom, on the same topic of human trafficking. "It is important to me that Engine strives to show work that not only inspires, but teaches and raises awareness. This particular topic is important to me and I'm happy we have a platform to support the work of artists like Simas," says Ackerman.
Simas is also a founder of Greater Boston-based Capture Humanity, an artist-collaborative involving photographers, filmmakers, and writers from all over the world with the united desire to document humanitarian groups that assist women, children, marginalized communities and conservation efforts. Simas received a BA in Liberal Arts and Science from Suffolk University and is currently studying Social Justice at Harvard University. Her fine art prints are part of numerous private and corporate collections, including the African Union and the Kenyan National Archives at UNODC and UN Migration.

A phallus is a penis (especially when erect), an object that resembles a penis, or a mimetic image of an erect penis.  In art history a figure with an erect penis is described as ithyphallic.

Any object that symbolically—or, more precisely, iconically—resembles a penis may also be referred to as a phallus; however, such objects are more often referred to as being phallic (as in "phallic symbol"). Such symbols often represent fertility and cultural implications that are associated with the male sexual organ, as well as the male orgasm.

Etymology

The term is a loanword from Latin phallus, itself borrowed from Greek  (phallos), which is ultimately a derivation from the Proto-Indo-European root *bʰel- "to inflate, swell". Compare with Old Norse (and modern Icelandic) boli "bull", Old English bulluc "bullock", Greek  "whale".

Archaeology

The Hohle phallus, a 28,000-year-old siltstone phallus discovered in the Hohle Fels cave and reassembled in 2005, is among the oldest phallic representations known.

Religion

Ancient Egypt

The phallus played a role in the cult of Osiris in ancient Egyptian religion. When Osiris' body was cut in 14 pieces, Set scattered them all over Egypt and his wife Isis retrieved all of them except one, his penis, which was swallowed by a fish; Isis made him a wooden replacement.

The phallus was a symbol of fertility, and the god Min was often depicted as ithyphallic, that is, with an erect penis.

Classical antiquity

In traditional Greek mythology, Hermes, god of boundaries and exchange (popularly the messenger god) is considered to be a phallic deity by association with representations of him on herms (pillars) featuring a phallus. There is no scholarly consensus on this depiction and it would be speculation to consider Hermes a type of fertility god. Pan, son of Hermes, was often depicted as having an exaggerated erect phallus.

Priapus is a Greek god of fertility whose symbol was an exaggerated phallus. The son of Aphrodite and Dionysus, according to Homer and most accounts, he is the protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens, and male genitalia.  His name is the origin of the medical term priapism.

The city of Tyrnavos in Greece holds an annual Phallus festival, a traditional event celebrating the phallus on the first days of Lent.

The phallus was ubiquitous in ancient Roman culture, particularly in the form of the fascinum, a phallic charm. The ruins of Pompeii produced bronze wind chimes (tintinnabula) that featured the phallus, often in multiples, to ward off the evil eye and other malevolent influences. Statues of Priapus similarly guarded gardens. Roman boys wore the bulla, an amulet that contained a phallic charm, until they formally came of age. According to Augustine of Hippo, the cult of Father Liber, who presided over the citizen's entry into political and sexual manhood, involved a phallus. The phallic deity Mutunus Tutunus promoted marital sex. A sacred phallus was among the objects considered vital to the security of the Roman state which were in the keeping of the Vestal Virgins. Sexuality in ancient Rome has sometimes been characterized as "phallocentric".

Ancient India

Shiva, the most widely worshipped male deity in Hinduism pantheon, is worshipped much more commonly in the form of the lingam. Evidence of the lingam in India dates back to prehistoric times. Although Lingam is neither a mere phallic iconography nor the textual sources signify it as so, stone Lingams with several varieties are found to this date in many of the old temples, and in museums in India and abroad, which are often more clearly phallic than later stylized lingams. The famous "man-size" Gudimallam Lingam in Andhra Pradesh is about  in height, carved in polished black granite, and clearly represents an erect phallus, with a figure of the deity in relief superimposed down the shaft.

Many of the earliest depictions of Shiva as a figure in human form are ithyphallic, as for example in coins of the Kushan Empire. Some figures up to about the 11th century AD have erect phalluses, although they become increasingly rare.

Indonesia
According to the Indonesian chronicles of the Babad Tanah Jawi, Prince Puger gained the kingly power from God, by ingesting sperm from the phallus of the already-dead Sultan Amangkurat II of Mataram.

Bhutan
The phallus is commonly depicted in its paintings.  Wooden phalluses, with white ribbons hanging from the tip, are often hung above the doorways of houses, to deter evil spirits.

Ancient Scandinavia

The Norse god Freyr is a phallic deity, representing male fertility and love.
The short story Völsa þáttr describes a family of Norwegians worshiping a preserved horse penis.
Some image stones, such as the Stora Hammers and Tängelgårda stones, were phallic shaped.

Iran

Khalid Nabi Cemetery (Persian: گورستان خالد نبی, "Cemetery of the Prophet Khaled") is a cemetery in northeastern Iran's Golestan province. Touristic visitors often have perceived the cylindrical shafts with the thicker top as depictions of male phalli. This gave rise to popular hypotheses about pre-Islamic fertility cults.

Japan
The Mara Kannon Shrine () in Nagato, Yamaguchi prefecture is one of many fertility shrines in Japan that still exist today. Also present in festivals such as the Danjiri Matsuri () in Kishiwada, Osaka prefecture, the Kanamara Matsuri in Kawasaki, and the Hōnen Matsuri (, Harvest Festival) in Komaki, Aichi Prefecture, though historically phallus adoration was more widespread.

Balkans

Kuker is a divinity personifying fecundity, sometimes in Bulgaria and Serbia it is a plural divinity. In Bulgaria, a ritual spectacle of spring (a sort of carnival performed by Kukeri) takes place after a scenario of folk theatre, in which Kuker's role is interpreted by a man attired in a sheep- or goat-pelt, wearing a horned mask and girded with a large wooden phallus. During the ritual, various physiological acts are interpreted, including the sexual act, as a symbol of the god's sacred marriage, while the symbolical wife, appearing pregnant, mimes the pains of giving birth. This ritual inaugurates the labours of the fields (ploughing, sowing) and is carried out with the participation of numerous allegorical personages, among which is the Emperor and his entourage.

Switzerland

In Switzerland, the heraldic bears in a coat of arms had to be painted with bright red penises, otherwise they would have been mocked as being she-bears. In 1579, a calendar printed in St. Gallen omitted the genitals from the heraldic bear of Appenzell, nearly leading to war between the two cantons.

The Americas
Figures of Kokopelli and Itzamna (as the Mayan tonsured maize god) in Pre-Columbian America often include phallic content. Additionally, over forty large monolithic sculptures (Xkeptunich) have been documented from Terminal Classic Maya sites with the majority of examples occurring in the Puuc region of Yucatán (Amrhein 2001). Uxmal has the largest collection with eleven sculptures now housed under a protective roof on site. The largest sculpture was recorded at Almuchil measuring more than 320 cm high with a diameter at the base of the shaft measuring 44 cm.

Alternative sects

St. Priapus Church (French: Église S. Priape) is a North American new religion that centres on the worship of the phallus.  Founded in the 1980s in Montreal, Quebec, by D. F. Cassidy, it has a following mainly among homosexual men in Canada and the United States.  Semen is also treated with reverence and its consumption is an act of worship. Semen is esteemed as sacred because of its divine life-giving power.

Psychoanalysis

The symbolic version of the phallus, a phallic symbol is meant to represent male generative powers. According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis, while males possess a penis, no one can possess the symbolic phallus.

Jacques Lacan's Ecrits: A Selection includes an essay titled The Signification of the Phallus in which sexual differentiation is represented in terms of the difference between "being" and "having" the phallus, which for Lacan is the transcendent signifier of desire. Men are positioned as men insofar as they wish to have the phallus. Women, on the other hand, wish to be the phallus.  This difference between having and being explains some tragicomic aspects of sexual life.  Once a woman becomes, in the realm of the signifier, the phallus the man wants, he ceases to want it, because one cannot desire what one has, and the man may be drawn to other women. Similarly, though, for the woman, the gift of the phallus deprives the man of what he has, and thereby diminishes her desire.

Norbert Wiley states that Lacan's phallus is akin to Durkheim's mana.

In Gender Trouble, Judith Butler explores Freud's and Lacan's discussions of the symbolic phallus by pointing out the connection between the phallus and the penis. They write, "The law requires conformity to its own notion of 'nature'. It gains its legitimacy through the binary and asymmetrical naturalization of bodies in which the phallus, though clearly not identical to the penis, deploys the penis as its naturalized instrument and sign". In Bodies that Matter, they further explore the possibilities for the phallus in their discussion of The Lesbian Phallus. If, as they note, Freud enumerates a set of analogies and substitutions that rhetorically affirm the fundamental transferability of the phallus from the penis elsewhere, then any number of other things might come to stand in for the phallus.

Modern use of the phallus
The phallus is often used to advertise pornography, as well as the sale of contraception. It has often been used in provocative practical jokes and has been the central focus of adult-audience performances.

The phallus had a new set of art interpretations in the 20th century with the rise of Sigmund Freud, the founder of modern psychoanalysis of psychology.  One example is "Princess X" by the Romanian modernist sculptor Constantin Brâncuși. He created a scandal in the Salon in 1919 when he represented or caricatured Princess Marie Bonaparte as a large gleaming bronze phallus. This phallus likely symbolizes Bonaparte's obsession with the penis and her lifelong quest to achieve vaginal orgasm.

Cleaning your cars leather and conditioning it is essential. Why?
Leather gets dirty from our sweat and when it goes on to leather due to salt it hardens the leather causing it to crack. Also the paint from our jeans and other clothes comes out causing the colors to bond on the leather and becomes one.
Leather requires replacement of natural oils otherwise it will dry out and crack. Conditioning helps to restore these natural oils and as a result the leather stays soft and supple.
How often should I condition my Interior leather?
We recommend once every 60 days especially in summer, depending on the lifestyle you live and in environmental conditions.

In New York City, a start-up firm called Urban Compass has been generating buzz as the next big thing in the tech and real estate spaces with its plan to make the apartment and home search processes much quicker and more efficient.
The start-up was founded by Ori Allon, who sold his search engine algorithm company called Orion to Google in 2006 and his second search engine company, called Julpan, to Twitter in 2012. Urban Compass just started about a year and a half ago. But much is being made in the New York press about the more than $65 million in venture capital it garnered this year from such powerhouses as American Express chief executive Kenneth Chenault; Advance Publications, parent company of Conde Nast; and Peter Thiel's Founders Fund.
The company is announcing Thursday that it is moving into the Washington real estate market by acquiring the boutique brokerage Lindsay Reishman Real Estate.
Both are small firms. Urban Compass has 108 agents, and Reishman about 40 employees.
Still, Allon says he hopes to make a big impact here by introducing his brand of innovation into a tech-savvy market which already has a plethora of real estate and apartment hunting apps at its disposal.
"On a high level, there are [other real estate] companies that do similar things, but it's how we do it," Allon said in a phone interview.
"You can view the properties [on the app] and see all the information you need," he added. Like app-based taxi service "Uber, you indicate which properties you're interested in and we pick the best agent [for you]. We have an algorithm that will determine which agent will be best for you. If you look in a certain area we know which agents do best there. If you're a young person looking for an inexpensive home or older and looking for expensive home we match you with best agent."
Allon says his technology background helps differentiate Urban Compass from other realty firms that use apps. He said he employs his own engineers, who have made his product more user friendly.
So why did he pick the D.C. market, which not only is saturated with realty firms but is experiencing a bit of a slow down?
"D.C. is important in terms of the type of market and sheer volume of transactions," Allon said.
The proximity to New York City" is another factor, he said. "It's important for my management team to go and make sure we shape the D.C. branch the same way we did in New York."
Reishman started the Dupont Circle-based firm in 2009. Under the deal, he said, his operation will likely expand.
"We're planning to keep the staff we have and will likely grow," Reishman, whose new title becomes president of Urban Compass Washington, D.C., said in a phone interview. "We will see some substantial growth as a result of this."
The two firms will officially unite in early 2015.
(CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article incorrectly said Lindsay Reishman Real Estate has 25 employees; it has 25 agents and 40 employees. Also Reishman's first name was misspelled in one place.)

Job Lawyer
Effie Newsome is Ruth Newsome's dear, dear, dear, dear cousin of the Wexford Newsomes, introduced in Season 12 of Murdoch Mysteries, portrayed by Clare McConnell.
Character Arc - Season 12
My Big Fat Mimico Wedding
Effie Newsome of the Wexford Newsomes is not too well off, but still a Newsome and divorced.
Effie is the Ruth Newsome's matron of honor. Playing matchmaker for George Crabtree, Ruth eagerly introduces her to Henry's best man, but Effie immediately informs George, "I just got out of one marriage, I'm hardly looking to race into another."
Upon finding Crabtree's lost best-man speech, Effie holds it hostage, saying she'll only return it if George will do a small favour for her: find a set of heirloom pearls. When he refuses, she taunts with, "then I suppose I'll have to tell Ruth about Roger..."
Effie is representing a cousin of hers, Marty Erskine, who is suing George Crabtree for faulty brake work done on his motorcar that resulted in serious injuries. Because Henry Higgins-Newsome had recently been hired to Bloom and Crabtree Autoshop, Effie is predisposed to place the blame on her new relative.
Effie later accosts Crabtree while he's grabbing a hot dog, telling him that her client had limited the recompense to medical expenses and car repair. Crabtree takes umbrage at her comments towards Higgins to the point where he refuses a settlement.
Effie later answers Crabtree's summons to Sally Singers' Dance Hall, apparently agreeing to settle out of court, but not before he offers her a dance inside. They subsequently bump into Marty, who was completely uninjured. As Crabtree excused himself, an upset Effie slaps her cousin and drags him out of the hall.
Effie Newsome arrives at the Station House on a mission. George asks if it is to sue him again. She informs him that she is on a professional errand as she is articling for the Crown Attorney: She is tasked to research all files on the enforcement of the Chinese laundry tax. George asks, "What did you do wrong?"
Nothing, in fact, Effie Newsome has reached the top of her class. "Well, trust a lawyer to work that into the conversation," retorts Constable Crabtree to which Miss Newsome counters with, "Trust a constable to take offence."
This is a plum assignment for her so she intends on doing her best work, give her the records and she assures him that she shall be on her way. Afraid not, Constable Crabtree informs Miss Newsome that the files can not be taken out of the Station House. As a result, they spend some time together at the Station House – sharing George's desk in the end.
George seeks Effie's help in order to clear John Brackenreid's name and take down the corrupt people behind everything. He asks her if she could find him some documents, and though hesitant, she agrees.
Effie sends George's new manuscript to the Deakons of Canada, without his knowledge. Upon finding this out, George meets up with her, angry at the fact. She tells him to rip it up. "It's obvious you're too afraid to write the rest of your book. Because if you do and it's not any good, it'll prove you're not a real writer." George claims he's already a real writer, but Effie disagrees.
At the end of the episode, George finds Effie packing up her desk, as she's been fired for her previous action of gethering confidential files for him. Effie has recieved an offer for a new job already– a defense firm in London. However, she has declined, wanting to convince them to open a branch in Toronto as there's a lot of crime in the statisics. Hearing that she'll be staying, George asks if she'd like to have dinner sometime. "Are you courting me?" Effie asks. "I suppose that..." George starts, but she cuts him off with, "Good. Then let's start with lunch".
Effie Newsome attends the suffragette's speech and assists Dr. Ogden after the explosion.
Effie's relationship with George has been consummated.
At Scott's Diner, Effie tells George that Mr. Clark has plans to commit almost exclusively to defence law, and he wants her to assist him. A new job? "Why not? There are very few lawyers who defend people accused of crime." George points out for good reason, "...there are very few people accused of crimes that didn't commit them...", she replies, "Well, not all police officers are as competent as you."
When George bulks at submitting his manuscript to her publisher friend, Effie is persistent and eventually walks him, with manuscript in hand, to the publishing house doorstep.
The Killing Dose
One morning at her place, Effie asks George to solve the mystery behind Mr. Vickers' stolen rent money. George reminds her if he starts investigating a case in her building, the neighbours will start to recognize him and her superintendent might put an end to their visits. Effie believes when people are in need, "we can't refuse them help out of fear of being inconvenienced".
Then, Effie finds a letter from Watson-Cook publishing on the table – An offer on George's manuscript: They've had a book withdrawn and they need a replacement and want to publish right away. But George is not entirely sure it's ready and changes the subject.
He asks if Mr.Vickers is the one who brought brownies last week, who's sweet on her? He's a kindly old man who enjoys baking and can't afford to pay his rent twice. "Are you really worried about helping people in need, or are you worried about losing these brownies?" Effie admits to both actually.

Catherine Dorléac, de nome artístico Catherine Deneuve, é uma atriz francesa nascida em 22 de outubro de 1943 em Paris.

Considerada uma das maiores atrizes francesas da segunda metade do século XX,  foi musa de diretores como Jacques Demy , François Truffaut e André Téchiné . Ela conta em sua filmografia vários outros grandes nomes da história do cinema , como Luis Buñuel , Roman Polanski , Mauro Bolognini , Robert Aldrich , Marco Ferreri , Dino Risi , Tony Scott , Manoel de Oliveira , Raoul Ruiz ,Hirokazu Kore-eda e Lars von Trier.

Uma verdadeira atriz camaleoa, ela interpretou muitos papéis marcantes explorando diferentes gêneros, indo da comédia ao drama, do filme histórico ao musical, ou do thriller à fantasia. Entre os filmes mais famosos estão Les Parapluies de Cherbourg , Les Demoiselles de Rochefort , Belle de jour , Le Dernier Métro e Indochine . Indicada ao Oscar de Melhor Atriz , ela ganhou inúmeros prêmios, incluindo dois Prêmios César de Melhor Atriz e uma interpretação ou prêmio honorário nos três maiores festivais de cinema: Cannes ,Veneza e Berlim.

Carreira
Descoberta por Roger Vadim, (também descobridor de Brigitte Bardot e responsável pela transformação de Jane Fonda em símbolo sexual com o filme Barbarella) com quem teve um relacionamento amoroso e um filho (Christian Vadim), Deneuve foi casada com o famoso fotógrafo de moda londrino David Bailey (em quem o diretor italiano Michelangelo Antonioni se basearia para criar o principal personagem na sua obra-prima cinematográfica Blow-Up), e após o fim do casamento, envolveu-se com o ator italiano Marcello Mastroianni, com quem teve uma filha, Chiara Mastroianni, em 1972.

Durante os anos 1960 e 70, Catherine Deneuve teve uma rica carreira cinematográfica, estrelando filmes de sucesso internacional como Belle de Jour,  A Sereia do Mississipi, Mayerling, Tristana, Pele de Asno, entre outros, que além de a afirmarem como a grande estrela do cinema europeu da época, a transformaram no sinônimo de beleza francesa, fazendo dela a musa da alta costura da França, principalmente do estilista Yves Saint Laurent e o rosto dos perfumes Chanel (o Chanel Nº 5, ligado ao seu rosto e sua imagem, foi o mais vendido e famoso perfume do mundo por mais de duas décadas), levando-a a substituir Brigitte Bardot como a efígie de Marianne, a figura feminina oficial da República da França, estampada em selos e moedas do país.
Nos anos 1980, Deneuve continuou fazendo trabalhos importantes em  O Último Metrô de François Truffaut e Fome de Viver, de Tony Scott, junto com Susan Sarandon e David Bowie, no papel de uma vampira gótica e bissexual, que a transformaria num ícone de lésbicas, gays, góticos e novos artistas da década de 1980.

Deneuve sobreviveu como ícone do cinema nos anos 1990, recebendo seu segundo César (o maior prêmio do cinema francês) e uma indicação ao Oscar de melhor atriz pelo filme Indochina, de 1992, que naquele ano ganharia o Oscar de melhor filme estrangeiro da Academia de Hollywood. Seus últimos filmes de sucesso mundial foram Dançando no Escuro, de Lars Von Trier, com a cantora e atriz islandesa Bjork, Palma de Ouro no Festival de Cinema de Cannes em 2000 e 8 Mulheres, de 2002, ao lado de algumas das maiores atrizes francesas como Fanny Ardant e Emmanuelle Béart. Tambem trabalhou com François Ozon em Potiche.

Vida privada
Em 1961 Catherine iniciou um namoro com o cineasta Roger Vadim. Em entrevista nas colunas do Ciné Télé Revue em 1962 a atriz confidenciou que:"Uma noite, no Epi Club de Montparnasse, um lugar da moda na época, conheci Roger Vadim [...] Foi amor à primeira vista. Vadim me ensinou a virar mulher, fazer de mim uma personalidade e viver feliz".Em 1963 Catherine deu a luz a um filho, Christian Vadim. Pouco depois do nascimento de seu filho, o casal terminou o namoro. Em outubro de 1965 a atriz se casou em Londres com o famoso fotógrafo britânico David Bailey. As testemunhas de seu casamento com Bailey foram sua irmã, Françoise Dorléac, e Mick Jagger. Catherine e David não tiveram filhos e os dois se separaram ainda em 1967, tendo se divorciado de fato apenas cinco anos mais tarde, em 1972. Após David Bailey, Catherine Deneuve se envolveu com o diretor italiano Marcello Mastroianni, de quem teve uma filha em 1972, Chiara Mastroianni. Apesar da paixão do início, a atriz e o cineasta decidem seguir caminhos separados pouco tempo depois. "Depois do nascimento de Chiara, compreendi que algo havia mudado. Talvez fosse eu quem havia mudado? Achei melhor ser franca e reconhecer que já não o amava o suficiente para continuar nossa existência juntos", confessou Catherine para Paris Match.

Posteriormente a atriz teve um romance com Bertrand de Labbey, que permaneceu seu agente, e depois com o jornalista e empresário Pierre Lescure de 1983 até 1991. Desde então, a atriz tem sido muito discreta sobre sua vida privada. Modesta, ela até quis confiar sua visão de amor ao Paris Match, em 2019. " Sempre preferi amar a brincar de amar. Sou a favor de todas as histórias de amor. " , revelou.

Tanto seu filho Christian Vadim quanto sua filha com Chiara Martroianni seguiram carreira como atores, apesar de a atriz jamais ter incenttivado essa decisão.

Why a Distributed, DIY Approach to Discovery Is More Important Now Than Ever
Logikcull Success
Even in the best of times, eDiscovery bottlenecks can be painful. It's no wonder, then, that so many legal professionals find the traditional eDiscovery process painful, even punishing—it is, after all, full of bottlenecks: two-day turnarounds for simple requests to vendors, the need for IT overhead on even the simplest cases, the back-and-forth with clients over the best discovery approach (and the associated, often overblown, cost).
This is not the best of times. And, given the current health and economic crises, those pains are felt even more acutely. Social distancing, shelter-in-place orders, a massive economic slowdown, and increasingly price-sensitive clients (and cash-conscious law firms) mean that the traditional way of conducting discovery is increasingly untenable.
As a result, many firms are moving away from a discovery approach focused on vendors and third-party providers and towards a decentralized, DIY process that empowers teams to handle matters quickly and securely, without the frustrations and bottlenecks of previous approaches. Of course, discovery technology that allows legal professionals to take control over their process is not exactly new—many legal teams have embraced this approach for years now.
Those teams now find themselves at a competitive advantage—able to operate nimbly and more efficiently and with less reliance on the inefficient approaches that once characterized discovery. At the same time, they are better prepared to handle the challenges of a "virtual" practice and economic uncertainties ahead.
Even legal teams just now starting to adapt their approach, however, are well-positioned to take advantage of decentralized discovery. After all, one of the hallmarks of this approach is its ease of implementation and use.
What Is Decentralized Discovery?
Decentralized, DIY discovery is, at its most basic, discovery technology that allows legal teams to get their work done with minimal reliance on third parties. It is an approach to discovery where electronically-stored information can be collected and ingested in a review platform in minutes, through a simple drag and drop. (Or, even better, ingested straight from the cloud.) It's an approach to discovery where data processing is automated and quality-control built in. And it's an approach to discovery where review technology is simple and straightforward, so that end-users don't need their IT teams to get started or excessive training and onboarding to get started.
It's discovery, but without the roadblocks.
Powerfully Simple Technology—That Actually Gets Used
The goal of decentralized discovery is to empower legal teams to access discovery data quickly and cost-effectively, with as few barriers as possible. The key to doing so is powerfully simple technology that legal professionals can not only understand but pick up without much, if any, training. (After all, what's the point of technology that attorneys won't use?)
How is that accomplished? One of the keys to a DIY approach to discovery is an interface that is naturally intuitive and easy-to-use. Pair the problems of discovery down to their most basic elements and they become something that anyone can understand: uploading (or ingesting and processing data), search (or document coding and review), and download (production).
Such simplicity is the north-star of any decentralized approach to discovery. For legal professionals to benefit from the time and cost savings of such an approach, for there to be widespread adoption, technology must be accessible. That means an easy-to-understand UI, features that allow you to batch out and assign documents to your review team simply and in seconds, built-in quality controls that alert you to potential issues, and a simple (and secure) means of producing documents to the requesting party. (No more load files, please.)
A More Efficient Allocation of Law Firm Resources
One of the main goals of a distributed approach to discovery is to free up resources so that they can be applied better elsewhere. By empowering teams to take discovery work in-house and into their own hands, organizations can shift the time and resources once dedicated to discovery to more pressing matters.
That means that anyone with familiarity with document review can handle the vast majority of discovery work, simply by dragging and dropping their documents and beginning. (This is why, for example, we call Logikcull "instant discovery," rather than, say, "'wait a few days for the vendor to get the DVD' discovery.")
As a result, vendor time is reduced or eliminated. Internal IT resources are freed up to be used where they're most needed, on the most complex and data-intensive cases, rather than day-to-day discovery matters. Attorney time is spent dealing with the merits of a case, rather than third-party vendors and project managers. And clients can spend their legal budget where it matters, rather than having it passed through to third-party vendors.
A Sane Approach to eDiscovery Pricing
Finally, this approach to discovery only makes sense with a pricing model that fits today's economy. And many discovery platforms, while allowing for greater ease of use and less reliance on vendors, have adopted some of the worst pricing habits of the vendor approach: complicated, complex line-item billing, add ons for technical support, high-pressure pushes for service offerings, and monthly, per-GB hosting fees.
All of these are archaic practices, ways for vendors and "vendors in the cloud" to take a slice out of any cost and time savings you would otherwise realize. In the case of hosting fees, these practices are particularly egregious. Cloud data storage costs just pennies a GB—2.3 cents is the most you can pay to store a gigabyte of AWS, the largest cloud provider. But many cloud vendors still charge $30 or more per GB a month, every month—a 1300x markup.
Will your new data set lead to an additional five-figures a month in hosting fees? (If you're being charged $30/GB per month, it's very possible.)
Is that email to support going to cost $250 in project management time?
Does a trickly load file result in thousands of dollars in added IT charges?
If that's the case, freeing up resources through a DIY approach isn't benefiting the organization—it's simply redistributing them to a "vendor in the cloud."
The Future of Discovery Is DIY
In many ways, the current crises are acting as a great accelerator, rapidly advancing trends that had already been playing out. A shift that might have taken years is now accomplished in days or weeks.
Necessity demands it.
The same pressures that are reshaping the way we work, the way we view the office and the law firm, and the way we collaborate—these pressures are also transforming the way the legal teams approach discovery.
Handling discovery and investigations without the IT overhead, without the bottlenecks, and without the extreme cost is increasingly becoming the norm.
Law firms that are already there have a distinct advantage, while many first that were lagging are quickly making the move.

Water Purification in Barrington, Illinois: The Options
Johnson Water Conditioning
Barrington's water is filled with a variety of contaminants. As such, Barrington residents often end up utilizing a number of water purification systems. These systems improve not only the taste of water, but the smell and functionality as well.
Looking to utilize water purification in Barrington? Wondering what's available to you? This article has you covered.
Here in Barrington, water is filled with an excess of calcium and magnesium. As such, it is notably hard. The problem with this? In addition to causing mineral buildup on pipes and appliances, it also has an adverse effect on the hair and the skin.
For this reason, many Barrington residents choose to do away with hard water by installing water softeners in their homes. Utilizing the ion-exchange process, water softeners remove all traces of calcium and magnesium from water, making it soft and eliminating a number of contaminants.
When it comes to obtaining pure drinking water, there's no better system to use than the reverse osmosis system. This system removes essentially all contaminants from water a supply, making it as smooth and as drinkable as possible.
Reverse osmosis systems consist of between 3 and 7 filters, each of which serves its own purpose. Whereas the pre-filters remove sand and sediment, the membrane and post filters are responsible for removing chemicals, minerals, and bacteria.
These systems aren't typically used to accommodate a whole home's water supply. However, they serve as terrific supplements to water softeners and other systems.
If you get your water from a well, it's likely filled with a variety of contaminants — many of which are not usually found in city water supplies. Some of these contaminants include iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and coliform bacteria. Together, these contaminants carry a range of negative effects, from poor smells to poor tastes, to water staining capabilities, and more.
Fortunately, there's a system that can eliminate all of these issues. That system is the chlorine injection system. This system periodically pumps chlorine into its corresponding water supply, neutralizing the contaminants reviewed above and vastly improving its quality.
If you want your home's water to as safe and as clean as possible, this is a system you should consider.
The hydrogen peroxide injection system is similar to the chlorine injection system. The only big difference between the two is that, while a chlorine injection system injects chlorine into its corresponding water supply, a hydrogen peroxide injection system injects hydrogen peroxide into its corresponding water supply.
They offer the same general results: the removal of iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and coliform bacteria. For more information on the two systems, give us a call!
Hot Water Softener
If you own a restaurant, you likely also own a commercial dishwasher. If you want your restaurant's dishwasher to be as efficient as possible, it's recommended that you install a hot water softener.
Hot water softeners operate in the same way as standard water softeners. The only difference is that they're geared to cater to hot water. In addition to improving the efficiency and lifespan of commercial dishwashers, they also allow for a more thorough wash.
In Need of Water Purification in Barrington, Illinois?
Are you interested in installing any of these purification systems reviewed above? Are you in need of water purification in Barrington, specifically? If so, we here at Johnson Water Conditioning are here to help.
Whether you need a water softener, a chemical injection system, or a reverse osmosis system, we can accommodate you. Contact us today to get started!

It was difficult to overshadow ASU football's 31-28 win over UCLA, but the fact that it was the last game in Sun Devil Stadium for a few seniors was the underlying element that stole the show from all other highlights and implications of Saturday's game.
ASU football broke its curse of losing by seven points four games in a row. Now, they're on a new kind of streak that was kicked into gear and is being continued by an ever-improving defense.
Seven is often seen as a lucky number, but this has not been the case for ASU football this season. Thursday night's deflating game with Stanford marked the fourth game that the team has lost by seven points.
ASU football has lost three of its six games this season, and in all of those losses, the Sun Devils lost by seven points.
ASU football is set to go on the road against Colorado for its first game in the month of October.
ASU football's game against Oregon State was a clash of running backs, and the Sun Devils won that battle as they came out with a 52-24 victory.
Arizona State Football has exceeded all expectations with a defense that is substantially better than last season, but that has also proved itself to be a formidable threat against all teams they have faced.
It is pretty easy to see that ASU junior wide receiver N'Keal Harry is one of the most talented wide receivers the program has ever had.
ASU was the underdog in its game versus Michigan State, but the Sun Devils forced a hard-fought 16-13 victory in the final seconds of the game.
ASU football started the season off with a decisive 49-7 win over the University of Texas at San Antonio, but the team does not have time to dwell on the victory as they face off with a more formidable opponent in Michigan State this weekend.
ASU football had quite the start to the 2018 season with a 49-7 win over the University of Texas at San Antonio.
ASU football chose its captains for the upcoming season Thursday, and with its official leadership in place, the team can further transition into game mode.
Sun Devil football may be on track to have a breakthrough season defensively, but that progress might now have a setback as the team saw senior linebacker Tyler Whiley suffer a season-ending broken right ankle and foot injury, as reported by The Arizona Republic.
On day five of Arizona State's football practices, things started to get busy for the team on and off the field.
ASU football is on day three of its preseason practices, and the environment is already competitive because all elements of practice are being taken seriously by the coaches and players, especially the fundamentals.
Redshirt senior quarterback Manny Wilkins was known for a lot of things in the 2017 ASU football season.
As ASU football continues spring practice, tuesday was focused on fundamentals for the Sun Devil offense so it can develop the consistency it lacked last year, and so every position knows how it will be incorporated.
ASU men's hockey (8-21-5) fought back in both of its games against the University of Michigan Wolverines (18-13-5), but its efforts were not enough as both games ended in a 5-3 loss.


Why did America snub Jessica Sanchez?
Amid news of the rise and abrupt fall of a North Korean missile on Friday, April 13, one story from a reality singing contest in America easily sent shockwaves to the country. Jessica Sanchez, the 16-year-old Mexican-Filipino diva on American Idol was nearly booted off the 11th season of American Idol. Jessica Sanchez had the lowest number of votes this week. But she's staying, thanks to Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler who used their only "save" power for the season on her.
What went wrong? Why didn't America like the talented Ms Sanchez?
Pinoys from the social networks to the pantries and elevators of corporate offices ask why America snubbed Jessica when she's been given lavish praise by the judges week in, week out. Some found it unbelievable that the Pinay girl with the steel pipes who's just been called a legend by guest mentor Akon the night before was almost sent packing.
One is the "Pia Toscano Theory," named after last year's contestant who many believed was prematurely booted out due to fan complacency. Like Sanchez, Toscano was praised as the singer who can do no wrong, and some people believed this led to her fans thinking she is always safe, and therefore not voting hard enough to keep her in the competition. (Unlike Sanchez though who was saved by the judges, Toscano was let go because the single judges' save for that season was already used two weeks prior).
Another theory is the "tween girl effect" named after the perceived demographic of most American Idol viewers and voters – leading to the ultimate win of the "good-looking non-threatening cute guy" for four straight seasons since season 7.
The past few seasons show the girl contenders get plucked out one by one while the guys stay strong in the competition. Like most TV voting, American Idol does not apply a one number, one vote policy. A phone line can vote repeatedly for a contestant for the entire two-hour voting duration, and many people believe that the girl fans are more likely to power-vote non-stop.
American Idol has since been searching for a girl who can break this all-male Idol spell and many have cast their lot on Jessica Sanchez to bring back girl power in American Idol. But her elimination, although reversed by the judges, has slightly dimmed that chance.
Before this week, she remains the only girl who's never been in the bottom 3. After this week, out of the 7 remaining contestants, only the two "good-looking non-threatening cute guys" – Colton Dixon and Phillip Phillips - remain scott-free. (An inadvertent iTunes sales figures reveal picked up by Idol-related blogs also shows that these two have the most number of songs sold during one of the Idol theme weeks).
Can Jessica still win the competition?
It's worth noting that out of the 10 previous American Idol winners, 7 of them won with a clean, bottom-3-free record. Three of them experienced the elimination scare, with Season 3's Fantasia Barrino even landing the bottom 3 spot, twice.
So even with her bottom 3 trip, a win is still possible.
Jessica's ultimate Idol victory is not a guarantee as of now no matter how the judges and producer Jimmy Iovine root for her. It all depends on how she steps up her game in the weeks to come.
She must work harder in picking the right songs, upping her game (to avoid the impression that she peaked early) and, most importantly, connecting with the voters.
Whether she regains her frontrunner status is still a question, but what's certain is that her shock elimination rattled her fans (and the Pinoy community in the USA) -- which will make them vote harder, allowing Jessica to sail through safely in a few more weeks.

They All Sang Yankee Doodle (1976)
They All Sang Yankee Doodle
Traditional text adapted by Dave Brubeck and Richard Vogt (English)
Dedicated to Charles Ives. Commissioned by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra and Bicentennial Commission.
Orchestration:
SATB chorus
Orchestration: 2+pic.2+ca.2+bcl.2+cbn/43[+]31/perc.timp/hp.org/str
Orchestral Premiere: 1976 by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, Erich Kunzel, conductor.
Choral Premiere: February 1978 in Washington, DC, by the Singing Sergeants and the U.S. Air Force Band.
Dedicated to the memory of Charles Ives, Brubeck's They All Sang Yankee Doodle takes the well-known Revolutionary War tune and weaves it through a series of clever variations. Brubeck commented that "the piece, in a sense, is an autobiography, made up of memories and snatches of tunes imprinted from my early childhood. Yankee Doodle is interwoven with other folk and national melodies to stitch a tapestry, or more precisely, a patchwork, designed to depict American history through combining fragments of popular tunes."

Rather than talking to a group of students about one particular "diverse" child, get everyone together in a large circle and discuss diversity, differences and individuality. After the discussion pass a bean bag or "talking stick" around the circle. Upon recieving the bean bag, have each student tell 3 things about themselves: 1) something they are good at, 2) something that they know they have in common with at least one other person in the class, and 3) something that makes them special. By having everyone share, a sense of similarities and recognition that everyone is different in some way or other will be built. This could be followed up with having each student write a biography of themselves,introducing who they are and what makes them unique, including things like hobbies, dreams for the future, etc. http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/stories/peopleplaces/downsyndrome/ could be read and shown as an example. The biography could then be formatted into a fun magazine spread complete with pictures and be posted up on the wall in the classroom or compiled into book form for each student to take home as a class year book of sorts. This activity would give the students a creative opportunity to look at themselves as unique individuals and still convey a sense of similarity and belonging, rather than focusing on what makes just one student different from everyone else.


We've greeted 2017 with a great deal of trepidation, but emotional intelligence tells us that while we must be vigilant and realistic, constant negativity can get in the way of happiness. Fortunately with practice you can learn to disrupt and tame negative cycles. Lesley Alderman suggests "The Year of Conquering Negative Thinking" in the New York Times' column, "Well." Great advice!

Did you know that Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) is buying free-range, hormone-free turkey from Ferndale market, carrots and red potatoes from the Hmong American Farmers Association, squash from L & R Produce, and kale from Gardens of Eagan?
Farm-to-school is booming at Minneapolis Public Schools, thanks to an innovative new partnership with the University of Minnesota. The university's On-Farm Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Education Program and the Minneapolis Public School Culinary & Nutrition Services are teaming up to provide training and technical assistance to farmers selling to MPS for the school meal program in an effort to boost the amount of fresh, local produce MPS can procure.
It all started two years ago, when MPS began buying large quantities of fresh produce directly from farmers for use in their school meals. While the produce was delicious, MPS quickly realized that they needed to provide some standard, hands-on training to the farmers who were supplying the food.
For small farmers, selling to a large wholesale customer like MPS can be challenging, and quite different than a farmers' markets or restaurant. Given its scale of operation (40,000 meals a day), MPS and their vegetable processor partner Russ Davis Warehouse require that vegetables be graded into sizes and packed in certain industry-standard boxes. Given that young children will be eating the food, best practices for harvest, washing, storing and transporting produce to reduce the likelihood of contamination must be followed.
That where the partnership comes in — thanks to a grant from the Healthy Foods Healthy Lives Institute, the UMN On-farm GAPs team is providing hands-on assistance and mini-grants to all the farmers selling to MPS to help them with their on-farm food safety — things like small grants to build portable handwashing stations, help developing their food safety plans, training their employees on their policies, or developing washing and sanitation protocols for their harvest totes. Russ Davis Warehouse, the processor that receives the fresh produce, held a workshop to walk farmers through exactly what they were looking for in terms of sizing, ripeness, packing and more.
MPS hopes to more than double the amount of locally grown vegetables purchased through its Farm to School program this season. By learning and understanding MPS' vendor requirements, farmers will be better suited to enter not only the K-12 market, but also other new markets like hospitals, grocery stores, and other institutions that may want to purchase fresh, locally grown produce. That means all those tasty vegetables won't just end up in school lunches, they'll also be on hospital trays and in shopping carts.
The project will also connect students with the farmers who grow food for their school meals — in the fall, farmers will be invited to speak to classrooms and at lunch about their farms and the fresh vegetables the students are eating.
Watch for more updates as UMN and MPS work closely with farmers over the summer months. With programs like these, farmers get more training, schools and other institutions get more fresh and safe food, and in the end, we all benefit.

Annalisa Hultberg is a Research Fellow at the University of Minnesota in the On-Farm GAPs Education Program, where she provides outreach and education regarding GAPs and on-farm food safety for fruit and vegetable farmers in the region. She also provides farm to school consulting services to school districts and charter schools in the Twin Cities area. She lives in Minneapolis with her daughter and husband, and loves to eat, cook, and garden.
Andrea Northup is the Farm to School Coordinator in the Culinary & Nutrition Services department at Minneapolis Public Schools. In addition to sourcing food for school meals from small farmers in the region, she spearheads a variety of educational programs and community partnerships related to food, nutrition and agriculture. Prior to moving to the Midwest, she founded and directed the DC Farm to School Network in Washington, DC. Andrea graduated from Tufts University in Boston, MA with dual degrees in Environmental Engineering and Community Health. She also enjoys baking, rock climbing and live music.
