Once Again, Business Shows Nonprofits the Future
Nonprofits and causes live and operate in the same world today as businesses. Business is telling us what they see coming.
James Boyce, Contributor
Senior Advisor, John Kerry's Presidential Campaign, (RED) Digital Strategist, Founder CommonSense.Agency
Occasionally, we can gain great insights from small events. These brief moments often disappear into the ether, but sometimes a small moment, with perspective, can actually indicate major change on the horizon.
On a plane back from D.C. last week, I saw such a telltale sign. It was a small blurb about Barnes & Noble and their view of the book industry. Currently, 10 percent of Barnes and Noble income comes from digital products, but they believe, and are projecting, that the number will jump to 31 percent within 36 months. That's $1 billion in digital revenue.
I would wager a lot of nonprofits are taking in about 10 percent of their revenue from 'digital' sources right now, the same as Barnes & Noble, but Barnes & Noble knows that to reach the goal of 31 percent, and to meet or exceed what the marketplace is doing, they will have to dedicate real resources, and a real focus on changing their business model to capture that market share. They will objectively look at present trends and make an informed strategic decision about the future and execute to that decision.
And how many large nonprofits can say they are doing that?
When I spent 2004 as an unpaid Senior Advisor on John Kerry's campaign, I learned two things, the first is that unpaid means unpaid and you will never appreciate how much it actually costs to live until you have the word 'unpaid' in front of your job title. The second is that a technology gap exists between business and nonprofits that is fairly interesting, and important to understand.
With perspective, I see that some of the things that I saw on the Kerry Campaign, a fundamental misunderstanding of how information flowed in the 2004 world, a lack of knowledge about email, even servers going down, were actually a reflection of how many people on the campaign had either stepped into the campaign from nonprofits and D.C.-based causes. These were smart people who were dedicated, passionate about winning, but disconnected from leading digital strategies in the business world. I recall people literally walking the halls of the McPherson Square office with wonder about how "Howard Dean is emailing everybody."
What I came to understand is that the business fixation with quarterly profits, with taking market share from other companies, with the day-to-day corporate struggle has led to businesses increasingly becoming early adaptors of technology.
If a business had to make a decision between sending 10,000 direct mail pieces at 68 cents per piece and 10,000 emails at 0 cents per piece, the ROI was instantly calculated and the emails prevailed. A nonprofit or cause group or, say Senate office that doesn't even pay for its mail to its constituents, wouldn't approach the same question with the same mind-set. They would come much more slowly to a conclusion, or even a non-conclusion, compared to the business facing the quarterly profit report.
This slower approach that nonprofits take has led to a lag in adaptation, and therefore, a digital gap. This gap has always been in existence to a certain degree, i.e. twenty five years ago, nonprofits also lagged businesses but the impact wasn't as profound and it wasn't increasing exponentially. And that's where Moore's Law comes into play.
Moore's Law states the computer power doubles every two years. Think back to the computers of the 1980s, the doubling of the power within those machines was important but nothing compared to the doubling of the power within say, the latest MacBook Pro. Put another way, last year's iPhone, is today's iPad.
Consider too the pace of play in our brave world. Substantial and powerful outlets such as The Huffington Post, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and many more are all less than five and a half years old. The gap is larger than ever, and many large nonprofits are struggling to figure out how to close the gap when seemingly every day, it is getting wider.
At the same time, you'll see nonprofits that have been created within the time frame of the new digital world leapfrog the growth of nonprofit programs operating in the old world structure. One of our clients, Product (RED) launched in fall of 2006, lives on the power of its remarkable digital assets, a million plus people on Twitter, half a million on Facebook, and so forth. This community, galvanized by a strong online connection, has generated over $150 million to fight AIDS in Africa.
VoteVets.org started by my friend Jon Soltz has mastered the blog/new media world as it too was launched in 2006. Now that group is helping making sure Vets get the care they need when they return home and influence key elections.
Simply put, the nonprofits and charity organizations that inject digital strategy in the core of the efforts will ultimately succeed just as every American business, like Barnes & Noble, must understand how digital will impact their worlds. If they do not, in either case, they will be overtaken by more innovative organizations. This requires a change in resources and in the larger nonprofits a change in core organization. Two changes that will often, and in fact, in our experience, almost always meet with resistance.
The first barrier is that you essentially are working against the core culture of a nonprofit, and the past experience of those who work there. Working at a nonprofit is not the same as working at a for-profit company. The wages, the job expectations, the vacations, they are all very different.
The second is that large nonprofits rarely re-organize like a business will restructure. A new executive will look at a company and often will make quick and radical changes. This rarely happens in a nonprofit. But it should. And, in fact, it needs to. The changes in the world around them are far too substantial to let change occur naturally. It needs to be injected into the organization, not in the traditional nonprofit mode of consensus building but with a corporate restructuring mindset.
This has to happen because the world outside the walls of nonprofits has been permanently and fundamentally altered. Recently, Arthur Sulzberger, CEO of New York Times, stated that yes, eventually the New York Times would cease to publish a print edition. Dozens of nonprofits and progressive causes act with the goal of having their cause, their work, their campaign reported on in the NY Times. But soon, I say within 24 months, there won't be a NY Times to try and get into.
Nonprofits and causes live and operate in the same world today as businesses. Business is telling us what they see coming. We'll have to see how many nonprofits can adapt, and how fast they can adapt so that they are as prepared as it certainly appears Barnes & Noble intends to be.

Review: Shrek is an Ogre who travels to meet a queen so he can be king.
Brilliant!! The script was fantastically written. Really funny all the way through. Shrek is based on a children's book by author William Steig. At the Academy Awards in 2002 it won 1 Oscar and that was for Best Animated Feature. The same year at the Baftas it won another award and that was for Best Screenplay – Adapted. It took more than four and a half years for the computer animation production team to do this film. This series is on Barry Norman's list of 100 Greatest Films of all time that he produced at the start of 2012 in the Radio Times. One film critic wrote 'The Movie is a constant delight for its exuberant simplicity, its avoidance of sensational effects, its wit and a true feeling that transcends sentimentality'.

While Amazon was expanding into streaming video, hardware, and cloud computing, it simultaneously maintained an aggressive push into even faster shipping and all new retail formats. The company started its same-day shipping initiative, Prime Now, in New York City in 2014, and it's since expanded it to dozens of cities around the world. Around the same time, Amazon began a program called AmazonFresh to stock and ship groceries — including vegetables and refrigerated and freezer products — that it used as a way to stay competitive with traditional big-box retailers like Walmart and Target and Uber-like logistics newcomers like Instacart. The company now sells its own line of meal kits through Fresh to rival ready-to-cook options from companies like Blue Apron and Plated.
On the logistics side, Amazon has for years been building out a network of delivery workers, fulfillment centers, trucks, cargo planes, and freighters to move products from manufacturers to customers at speeds once thought impossible. The company is now facilitating sea freight shipments, leasing Boeing cargo planes, building a $1.5 billion air cargo hub in Kentucky, and expanding its own UPS and FedEx competitor called Shipping with Amazon, or SWA. All of this is an effort to establish a global logistics network that no one company will be able to compete with.
You should never share your debit or credit card password with any Amazon seller unless you are at the checkout page requiring you to enter these details. And besides, the only card password you'll need aren't any passwords you set up online - the three digit pin that can be found on the front or back of the card are those digits you'll need to input for the purchase to be sent out Amazon's door.

If you're registering as a business, you will be asked to supply your business name, the business' contact information, your credit card information and tax identification number. You will also be asked to verify your phone number by supplying a 4-digit pin during an automated call or text. The process is generally fast and sellers can begin listing items immediately.
As it stands today, Amazon employs more than half a million people, more so than any other technology company in the country and second only to Walmart in the US. But the eventual result of its investments in robotics and AI is that technology's biggest and fast-growing workforce could see that growth start to slow and, perhaps years down the line, even shrink as robots tackle ever more complicated tasks. In the process, the company may develop robots for use outside its fulfillment centers. Amazon has already changed how we shop and, by extension, how we live our lives. Its next big step could be changing how we work.
Nail your timing. While it can be valuable to be one of the first in line for limited-quantity products, if you're going to shop online on Black Friday, timing may not actually matter all that much. According to data from deal-finding browser extension Honey, online purchases spike well after sunrise. "On Black Friday, spending peaked at 11 a.m. PST in Los Angeles and at 12 p.m. EST in New York City," says Kelly Parisi, Vice President of Communications at Honey.
Shop according to product. Woroch urges shoppers to wait to buy winter apparel and accessories until closer to the holidays or in early January. "Toys are best to buy in the first two weeks of December, based on price histories," she says. "Gift wrap, decor, and other seasonal merchandise like pre-lit Christmas trees are a better buy after the holidays."
While sites like eBay and Craigslist allow you to list any item barring certain exceptions, Amazon asks that you find a similar product in its database. If you can't find a similar product, Amazon has a procedure for creating a new product page. You should be aware, however, that new products often require additional approval from Amazon before listing can occur.
Compare prices and availability by typing in your search, scanning a barcode or an image with your camera, or using your voice. Never miss a deal with easy access to Lightning Deals and the Deal of the Day. You can also sign-up for shipment notifications to know when your order ships and arrives. You have full access to your Shopping Cart, Wish Lists, payment and Prime shipping options, Subscribe & Save order history, and 1-Click settings, just like on the full Amazon.com site. All Amazon Shopping app purchases are routed through Amazon's secure servers to encrypt and safeguard your personal information.
Aim for smaller products and travel deals. Some of the best buys on Cyber Monday will surprise you, from apparel to shoes to beauty products, says consumer and money saving expert Woroch. "It's also a great day to shop for travel deals, specifically airfare sales," she says. "Apple products and other electronics will be a good deal on this day too."
That's a lot of people to compete with, but it can pay off. While smaller items like clothing, consumables, and books won't see that large of a price cut, Black Friday is still worth the pre-dawn alarm if you're after deals on big-ticket items. Think: Household appliances, grills, TVs, and other electronics. "Stores use the doorbusters to whip you into a bargain-shopping frenzy in hopes that you'll buy more than the advertised bargains," says Lisa Lee Freeman, co-host of the Hot Shopping Tips podcast. "The stores often barely break even or even lose money on doorbuster specials, but they make it back when shoppers stick around and buy other items that may not be such great deals."

Making window curtains and drapes to fit needs some careful measuring first.
Window curtains and drapes can be made for any size or shape of window and there are many different types of tracks or poles that suit many types of windows. Knowing the window to make curtains for can sometimes determine the style of the curtain heading. Some different shapes of windows may need some extra calculations such as bay windows which will use much more material than straight forward flat windows.
One of the main steps to sewing curtains is to calculate the amount of material you will need. To work this out the window width and length will have to be measured to give the finished width and the finished length.
Measuring for window curtains and drapes.
Measure the window height - With the track or pole in place measure from the top of the track as the curtain material usually covers the track completely in a pencil pleat curtain for example or if a pole is going to be used measure from the bottom of rings to the length you require. If tab top or eyelet curtains are going to be made then measure from the top of the pole.
For small windows this would be just past window sill level enough to allow for hemming and for full windows it is best to measure to floor length. When hemmed the curtain will be slightly above the floor. If the carpet is not in place at the time the measurement is taken then allow for this in the calculations. This is the length wanted or otherwise known as the finished length.
Measure the window width - The track or pole should already be in place as once measured this will give the finished width of the curtain.
For example if the window is 40 ins wide (100cms) and the track or pole is 4 ins (10cms) longer either side the finished width would be 48 ins (122cms) .40 + 4 + 4 = 48 ins ( 100 + 10 + 10 = 120cms).
Giving extra at each side will allow the curtain to sit well when opened without obscuring the light. Thicker material may need extra width at each side.
Once the finished width and the length wanted or finished length are determined the next step would be to calculate the amount of fabric that would be needed to make the different styles of curtains.

Pictures such as this would have been around four to a folio, in a manuscript made as a visual aid for daily prayer and recitation. In this and other ways Kashmiri manuscript illustrations differ from Indian miniature paintings. It also accounts for many Kasmiri folios being worn or in poor condition as they would not be preserved in protective bundles like miniatures in the tradition of those commissioned by courts and courtiers, only occasionally unwrapped and viewed with care, but handled on a daily basis - the images of Krishna and other deities even rubbed with ritual pastes during puja - as would be a bronze murti or icon. Additionally, by being handed from generation to generation they would kept in continuous use over a period of decades. Kashmiri manuscripts were not commissioned by nobility and the wealthy, but ready-made and bought for cash by pious Hindus - perhaps traders, officials, pandits, brahmins - for domestic use and as a portable shrine for travel. For reasons of purpose, these manuscripts are (like those for Jains) conservative in nature, with artists' intent not on the production of fine art but in representing iconic images of the gods, with a presence gained by an almost abstracted simplicity of form and merely summary application of detail to decorative elements such as floral borders.

Hurricane holders, in their very basic kind are an enclosure around the candle light to protect it from the blowing wind and elements. These types of cases are used as garden and patio decorations where it is hung on pillars or as table centerpieces because they keep the candle stay tumble in the wind. These types of members produce a lovely soft light dependent upon the color of the wax used. Custom printed prayer candle holders are an alternative popular kind of holder and it is commonly made out of crystal or glass because these products were easier to work on to etch or imprint promotions and complex designs. The luster of the crystal was your reason it became a popular channel for household décor widely used by the wealthy of the time. Tumbler and crystal holders could be cut, stenciled, engraved or perhaps painted to give subtle effects. Votive candle holders were originally used to hold wax lights. But nowadays, the humble wax luminous holder has been creatively used to become more than just for keeping wax lights. Its use has been made longer to become party favors, wedding party favors, garden and deck decorations, table centerpieces and gifts and home looks.

I'm often moved by the experience of pain and how, energetically, it moves through ones system. The contraction is evident everywhere and it's as though the person is actually in the fetal position. Those who are moving through their life in physical or emotional pain are extraordinary because, from my view, it's amazing they can even stand up. The effort to shift it is heroic.

A unique 3D racetrack for electrons in extremely thin slices of a nanomaterial has been developed by researchers. This nanomaterial was created at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
For the very first time, the global team of researchers from Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley, and Germany observed unique behavior where electrons rotate around one surface, and then through the volume of the material to its opposite surface and back.
The likelihood of developing the "topological matter" that is capable of carrying electrical current on its surface without any loss at room temperature has gained immense interest in the research community. The main aim is to approach the lossless conduction of a different class of materials called superconductors, but without the requirement for the extreme, freezing temperatures that superconductors need.
Microchips lose so much energy through heat dissipation that it's a limiting factor. The smaller they become, the more they heat up.
An inorganic semimetal called cadmium arsenide (Cd3As2), which is the material under study, displays quantum properties, which are not explained by the standard laws of physics. These properties provide a new system that will help to decrease waste energy in microchips. In 2014, researchers identified that cadmium arsenide shares a few electronic properties with graphene, which is a single-atom-thick material vital for next-generation computer components, but in a 3D form.
A quantum property called chirality was displayed by the samples of cadmium arsenide. This property merges an electron's basic property of spin to its momentum, especially providing it right- or left-handed traits. The experiment offered an initial step toward the aim of using chirality to transmit energy and charge through a material without any loss.
As part of the experiment, researchers manufactured and analyzed how electric current passes in slices of a cadmium arsenic crystal just 150 nanometers in thickness - about 600 times smaller compared to the width of a strand of human hair - based on a high magnetic field.
The samples of the crystal were crafted at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry, which aims to construct and analyze nanoscale materials. The 3D structure of these materials was studied using X-rays at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source.
Several mysteries still exits in respect to the unique features of the material under study. The researchers are now identifying other fabrication methods that will help to construct a similar material with built-in magnetic features, preventing the need for an external magnetic field.
"This isn't the right material for an application, but it tells us we're on the right track," Analytis said.
The success of their adjustments determines the possibility of using a material like this to develop interconnects between multiple computer chips, for example, for next-generation computers that rely on an electron's spin to process data called spintronics, and also for manufacturing thermoelectric devices capable of transforming waste heat to electric current.
Analytis stated that at first it was not possible to obtain a clear picture whether the researchers were even capable enough to develop pure sample at the smallest scale needed to perform the experiment.
We wanted to measure the surface states of electrons in the material. But this 3-D material also conducts electricity in the bulk—it's central region—as well as at the surface. As a result, when you measure the electric current, the signal is swamped by what is going on in the bulk so you never see the surface contribution.
Hence, the researchers shrunk the sample from millionths of a meter to the nanoscale to provide them increased surface area and guarantee that the surface signal would be the leading one in an experiment.
When an electric current was applied to the samples, the team discovered that the electrons race around in circles - just like how they orbit the nucleus of an atom, but their path travels through the bulk and the surface of the material.
The electrons are pushed around the surface by the applied magnetic field. Once the same momentum and energy of the bulk electrons is reached, they are dragged by the chirality of the bulk and then get pushed through to the other surface, repeating this unique twisting path until the electrons are scattered by defects in the material.
This experiment symbolizes a successful marriage of theoretical approaches with the ideal techniques and materials, Analytis said.
We had predicted this behavior as a way to measure the unusual properties expected in these materials, and it was very exciting to see these ideas come to life in real experimental systems. Philip and collaborators made some great innovations to produce extremely thin and high-quality samples, which really made these observations possible for the first time.
The team also studied that disorder in the patterning of the crystal surface of the material does not influence the behavior of electrons there, even the disorder in the central material develops an impact on whether the electrons pass through the material from one surface to the other surface.
A dual handedness is exhibited by the movement of the electrons, with a few electrons passing around the material in a single direction and others twisting in an opposite direction.
Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry and Advanced Light Source are both DOE Office of Science User Facilities.
The Department of Energy's Office of Science, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) supported this study.

NCTRC Webinar: Creative Telehealth Training in an Academic Setting
The University of Utah offers health sciences students a unique telehealth training experience combined with interprofessional education (IPE). Students from nursing, medicine, social work, etc. are first taught telehealth concepts and etiquette and IPE competencies. Simulated complex case studies over video then provide a safe environment for students to practice applying telehealth in an interprofessional setting. A partnership with Utah Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Scholars Program broadened the training so students from multiple universities and colleges across Utah train together.
Hosted by: The Northwest Regional Telehealth Resource Center (NRTRC) has a mission to advance the development, implementation, and integration of telehealth in rural and underserved communities. The NRTRC serves Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
Presented by: Today's presenters are on faculty at the College of Nursing, University of Utah. Sue Chase-Cantarini, DNP, RN, CHSE, is an Assistant Professor-Clinical who completed a HRSA grant, "An Interprofessional Education Model for Telehealth Management of Multiple Chronic Health Conditions in Rural Populations", which led her to develop and teach best practices of interprofessional education and telehealth technology. Susan Hall, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, WHNP-C, is an Assistant Professor-Clinical and Track Director of Primary Care DNP Family Nurse Practitioner who focuses on vulnerable populations and community health. She adapted the telehealth training module to expand it state-wide for use in the AHEC Scholars Program.

Walt Disney Studios' latest film tells the story of a young girl raised to become chief of her people. She comes to discover she is destined for even greater deeds.
It's Sunday evening after the Thanksgiving holiday and my family and I are looking forward to an evening at the movies. So many spectacular films come out during this time of year, how to choose? We were all looking forward to seeing Moana for many reasons. Some being that my father is a life-long surfer and has a deep appreciation for Polynesian culture and history. The other reasons being the digital animation for this film looked incredible with such realistic textures, and because I was curious to see how Disney choose to represent Polynesian culture. Here we have a huge evolutionary shift in how we tell and share stories. For the ancient Polynesians, stories were shared by word of mouth, today movies, especially in 3D that enhance reality, are the most popular platforms for telling stories. As archaeologists, anthropologists and humanists, we may ask how the finished product of such an endeavor like a Disney movie, can portray an ancient culture and represent it authentically through the looking glass of the movie industry and digital technologies. We may say that Disney set a great precedent with Moana when the studio created an Oceanic Trust of scholarly and cultural advisers that actively contributed to the movie making.
We read that when writer-director duo John Musker and Ron Clements told Disney Animation chief John Lasseter that they were interested in creating a new story based on the Polynesian demi-god Maui, Lasseter was clear that the project would not go any further until Musker and Clements came up with solid research that would ensure the movie to be sensitive and respectful of local traditions and culture. Musker and Clements took a first trip to Polynesia in 2011, the first of many, which led to the birth of what they would later name the Oceanic Trust. Consisting of a group of anthropologists, cultural practitioners, historians, linguists, and choreographers from islands including Samoa, Tahiti, Mo'orea, and Fiji, this group was integral in ensuring that Moana would not be just entertaining, but also culturally authentic. From shaping some of the finest details of Moana to character design to song lyrics, the Trust helped the authors and director to represent Polynesian people's connection to navigation, to their ancestry, and their respect for nature.
We believe that the movie industry can greatly help raise interest and awareness about world cultures, traditions, and archaeology. We like to think of this movie as a successful partnership between the movie industry and humanities research, a new way for humanities studies to become more and more relevant to a much larger audience than scholars and affiliates. Well, at CoDA, we watched it and we loved it!
The landscape, pristine Pacific Islands in a time where ancient Polynesian folklore ruled its people's worldview and tradition was sacred. Gods and goddesses are feared and respected for their tails of how they shaped the land and ocean. People lived off the simple splendors the islands and sea had to offer for food, clothing, shelter and tools. I give Walt Disney Studios props for the research done in creating the best snapshot of what a day-in-the-life looked like in times like these. Because so much of ancient Polynesian culture was shared by word of mouth and documented on mostly natural materials, which decay over time, it wasn't until Captain Cook and his exploration team logged their experiences and findings that we have preserved documentation of how the Polynesians lived. Though the western world has much devoured the Polynesian way of life, songs, stories, and some traditions live on. For this story to have been created and embraced by Disney Studios I believe will help to bring more exposure to such cultures on a worldwide scale. And though Disney is famous for taking a story and putting the magical Disney twist on it, I believe they were respectful enough to leave a great deal of the old stories in place (in the photo below a scene from the movie).
We give Walt Disney Studios props for their research done in creating the best snapshot of what a day-in-the-life looked like in times like these.

The character of Moana is strong minded and curious. She feels a deep draw to the sea but is prohibited from stepping foot in the water. With a little push from her grandmother, Moana discovers her lust for exploring the great ocean is rooted in her people's long practice of voyaging to distant islands and main lands to establish trade and settlements had become a hidden truth. Today, researchers have come to find more and more evidence that trace back to the ancient Polynesians who did in fact sailed from the Southeast Pacific Islands to as far as South America and the coast of California. One can say that they were among the first to navigate the Pacific. They built canoes with large sails as well as massive outrigger-styled vessels that were capable of transporting larger groups of people. There are not many of these artifacts remaining as they were build out of wood and people had limited ways of protecting the boats from years of exposure to the elements. The ancient Polynesians didn't have compasses or hand drawn maps to guide them. They took their cues from birds, water current temperatures, and developed ways of mentally mapping the stars using their outstretched hands to measure degrees in longitude and latitude.
Osnat Shurer and renowned directors John Musker and Ron Clements ("The Little Mermaid," "The Princess and the Frog," "Aladdin") shared early test footage.
In our modern world of technological advances, the skills of boat building has been left to a distinct population of craftsman and we have our handy GPSs built into our phones to tell us how to get from here to there and tell us which stars are which. Bringing ancient folklore to the big screen in the form of digital animation I hope creates a new sense of pride and ownership for younger Polynesian generations, a deeper appreciation of a people whose heritage has been marginalized into a romanticized vacation destination, and in hopes for stories like these will continue to live on.

WAUSAU, Wis. — A judge sentenced a Wisconsin man on Tuesday to 13 years in prison for locking a woman inside a wooden box in his basement and sexually assaulting her.
Allen Jamroz, 56, of Mosinee also was sentenced to seven years of extended supervision for second-degree sexual assault and false imprisonment. As part of a plea deal, charges of kidnapping and battery were dismissed but considered during sentencing, USA Today Network-Wisconsin reported.
"I have so many triggers now," the woman told Marathon County Judge Greg Strasser. She said she worries about whether she will be able to trust any man enough to have a normal relationship.
Authorities say the woman went to Jamroz's home to visit his granddaughter, but the granddaughter wasn't there. Jamroz asked the woman for help on a remodeling project in his basement, and then used a homemade stun gun on her, forced her into the box and screwed it shut. She was able to escape hours later.
"If I could take this back, I would," he said.
Jamroz has been a productive member of his community his entire life, said his attorney, Suzanne O'Neill. He worked for the Chicago Department of Sanitation before getting divorced and moving with his two children to Mosinee, about 175 miles (282 kilometers) northwest of Milwaukee.
The judge said he looked at the picture of the box and saw the amount of work that went into cutting all the boards for it and joining them together.
"It's a coffin. That's what it is — it's a coffin," Strasser said.
Strasser ordered Jamroz to undergo counseling and to pay restitution for the woman's counseling.

CINCINNATI (AP) The carpeting in the Brewers' clubhouse was still damp from all the bubbly and beer sprayed around the place only a dozen hours earlier. No matter. With a chance for an even bigger celebration ahead, Milwaukee locked in and kept on winning.
It's going to be an interesting weekend in the NL Central.
Orlando Arcia doubled with the bases loaded, and the Brewers shook off the fizz from their playoffs-clinching celebration to close on the division lead Thursday, beating the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 for their seventh straight victory .
The Brewers earned at least a wild card with a 9-2 win on Wednesday night, dousing each other in the clubhouse afterward. Little more than 12 hours after the empty bottles and cans were cleared away, Milwaukee focused on an even bigger prize.
"We made it so it's a big weekend in Denver," manager Craig Counsell said.
Milwaukee moved within one game of the idle Cardinals for first place heading into the final weekend, the same status as a year ago when the Brewers also were a game out with three to play. They caught the Cubs and then beat them at Wrigley Field in a one-game tiebreaker for the division title.
Milwaukee concludes with three games at Coors Field against the team it swept in the playoffs last year before losing to the Dodgers in the NL Championship Series. The Cardinals host the Cubs.
"We've just got to keep doing what we're doing," Counsell said "We need some help. It's an uphill climb with three games to go, but we've given ourselves a chance. To get it to one game with three to play, you feel like you definitely put some heat on the Cardinals."
Just like last year, the Brewers have used a sizzling September in their race toward the top. Despite losing 2018 NL MVP Christian Yelich to a broken kneecap, the Brewers have won 18 of 20 and have the best September record in the majors at 20-4. Their seven-game winning streak matches their longest this season.
"Yeah, people don't believe it, but here we are," Arcia said through a translator .
Counsell's Brewers swept the Reds for the second time this season, also taking a three-game series in April at Great American Ball Park.
"I've always respected him and the way his teams play," Reds manager David Bell said. "They're a lot like how he was as a player. Outside of us not being in it, I'm happy for them. As a fan, it's fun to watch them."
The Reds' focus was on broadcaster Marty Brennaman's final game after 46 seasons. The mayor declared Marty Brennaman Day during pregame festivities, and the 77-year-old broadcaster headed to the booth one last time before retirement.
Fans hoped to hear his "this one belongs to the Reds" call after a victory, but not even Cincinnati's ace could make it happen. Luis Castillo (15-8) walked the bases loaded in the fourth and gave up Arcia's bases-clearing double off the glove of left fielder Josh VanMeter. Ben Gamel followed with another double for a 4-1 lead.
Chase Anderson (8-4) allowed Aristides Aquino's solo homer in five innings, then turned it over to a bullpen that's the team's strength. Josh Hader escaped a bases-loaded threat in the eighth and got the last four outs for his 37th save in 43 chances.
When Alex Blandino failed to check his swing with two strikes and two outs in the ninth, Brennaman said: "And he went around, that's a strikeout, and that's your ballgame." A few minutes later, he got choked up several times and had to pause to collect himself during his final radio sign-off.
"I'm proud to say I'm a Cincinnatian," Brennaman said. "And for those who are listening wherever they might be, just know how much you're loved ... (long pause) ... and how much you're appreciated. That's all I got."
Brennaman is one of eight major league broadcasters who covered one team for at least 46 seasons, joining the Dodgers' Vin Scully (67), the Mets' Ralph Kiner (52), the Royals' Denny Matthews (51), the Brewers' Bob Uecker (49), the Cardinals' Jack Buck and Mike Shannon (48), and the Dodgers' Jaime Jarrin (47).
LOTTA HOMERS
Aquino's homer was the Reds' 223rd of the season, setting a club record. They hit 222 in 2005.
ATTENDANCE BUMP
Brennaman's final game drew 27,774 fans and boosted Cincinnati's home attendance to 1,775,396, a slight increase over last season. The Reds drew 1,629,356 last year, their lowest since 1984.
Brewers: Eric Thames felt hamstring discomfort after running out a grounder in the second inning and left the game as a precaution.
Reds: Eugenio Suarez got a day out of the lineup after hitting his 49th homer Wednesday night. He pinch hit in the eighth and was walked intentionally.
Brewers: Head to Colorado with Zach Davies (10-7) facing Antonio Senzalela (10-11) in the opener.
Reds: Head to Pittsburgh, where they've dropped 10 straight. Anthony DeSclafani (9-9) faces left-hander Steven Brault (4-6).

TRX Adds Jammer Finder Capability to NEON PT-MIL Solution
Sunday, January 22nd, 2023
New jammer finding function and expanded threat mapping features enable dismounted soldiers to proactively respond to navigational warfare (NAVWAR) attacks.
NEON PT-MIL Jammer Finder Capability
GREENBELT, Md.
TRX Systems, developer of NEON® GPS-denied location solutions, announced today the availability of expanded NAVWAR capabilities for its NEON PT-MIL solution that enable warfighters to proactively mitigate threats in contested environments. NEON PT-MIL now includes an automated jammer finder function that empowers warfighters to uncover the direction of NAVWAR threats using a low SWaP solution optimized for dismounted soldiers.
NEON PT-MIL helps warfighters maintain effective mission execution, even when they are operating in environments where GPS/GNSS signals are unreliable or intentionally denied. By fusing inputs from inertial sensors, GNSS signals, ultra-wideband (UWB), and other constraints, NEON PT-MIL can detect and eliminate unreliable or compromised GNSS data while providing an alternative source of positioning information for dismounted soldiers.
NEON PT-MIL can also be equipped to rapidly detect and map jamming and spoofing attacks. TRX Systems initially developed these advanced features through a U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) program designed to extend NAVWAR functionality to the dismounted warfighter. NEON PT-MIL now accepts assured GPS as well as GNSS data from external devices, such as the widely deployed Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) and the Orolia Defense & Security (ODS) BroadSense Nano, to compute and deliver a fused position and, when detected, a NAVWAR threat indication.
Dismounted soldiers can readily leverage the NEON PT-MIL NAVWAR capabilities through standardized interfaces with the DAGR. And with access to the DAGR's PLI data, NEON PT-MIL can now propagate DAGR military-grade positioning information to other warfighters on the team via its embedded UWB ranging and communications interface.
The new release of NEON PT-MIL includes an automated jammer finding function that allows warfighters to proactively respond to jamming threats. Using the GPS jamming indications available from a connected GNSS or GPS source (e.g., connected DAGR, ODS BroadSense NANO), NEON PT-MIL can derive a line of bearing (LOB) to an enemy jammer and display it within the warfighter's ATAK user interface.
"Our NEON PT-MIL solution delivers threat information for warfighters and an alternative for effective positioning that enables them to stay on mission even in situations where adversaries have corrupted GNSS signals through jamming or spoofing attacks," said Carol Politi, CEO of TRX Systems. "With its new jammer finder capabilities and standardized interfaces to DAGR devices, warfighters can further leverage PT-MIL to locate and mitigate those NAVWAR threats."
NEON PT-MIL with the jammer finding function is available in beta versions for field testing now and will be generally available in Q2 2023.

Boston Dynamics Joins Persistent Systems Wave Relay Ecosystem
• Persistent Systems networking devices to be sold with robots intended for defense, public safety applications
• Spot® quadruped robot equipped with the Persistent Systems MPU5 is well suited to keep responding teams out of harm's way during a wide range of potentially hazardous environments and situations
NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 2023 — Persistent Systems, LLC ("Persistent"), a leader in mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) technology, announced today that mobile robotics company Boston Dynamics has joined Persistent's Wave Relay® Ecosystem.
The Ecosystem is an industry alliance of unmanned system and sensor producers all using the Wave Relay® MANET as their preferred network for command-and-control and communications. As part of its agreement with Boston Dynamics, Persistent will supply the MANET devices used on robots sold to defense, public safety, law enforcement and U.S. federal government customers.
"We are excited to have Boston Dynamics join our Ecosystem," said Jeremy Hickman, Director of Business Development for Persistent Systems. "We believe that our MANET technology will provide their robots with a high-performance solution that is robust, reliable and scalable—and also enables interoperability with third-party unmanned and sensor platforms."
Boston Dynamics officials noted that they see the new Ecosystem agreement with Persistent Systems as a way of better positioning the company's robotic quadruped Spot for industries requiring dedicated, secure communications networks in remote environments.
"We see Spot, operating on a Persistent Systems MANET, being used in many different applications, including subterranean or confined space exploration, unexploded ordnance inspection, suspicious package investigation, hazardous gas detection, search and rescue, and structural inspection," said Kimberly Chamblin, Director of Partnerships, Public Sector, at Boston Dynamics.
In addition to MANET hardware being physically integrated with Boston Dynamics robots, robotic command-and-control software will be loaded onto Persistent Systems devices so that users can control them via the Persistent Systems Remote Display and Controller (RDC).
"So, not only will you be able to stream sensor data collected by Spot, but you will also be able to control its movement with the RDC," Hickman said. "This configuration both empowers the users and reduces the need for each unmanned system to have its own unique controller."

DISCUS from DISCO32
Friday, January 6th, 2023
Simply put, DISCUS enables you to make phone calls, listen to music, or interact with Bluetooth-enabled devices using a military-style comms headset.
DISCUS plugs inline between the radio and headset, or can operate independently of a PTT to provide Bluetooth connectivity to the headset (i.e., DISCUS can pair with a Bluetooth device without a two-way radio present).
Additionally, it automatically adjusts audio levels to prioritize radio traffic over audio received from a Bluetooth source.
DISCUS is powered by one CR-123 battery, which provides up to 48 hours of life.
If you have been on the fence about it, now is the time to order. Prices for everything are going up from suppliers of raw materials and DISCO32 is are waiting as long as they can to pass that cost on. There are a few bundles left with 2022 Amp pricing attached.

Fielding the Radios of the Future with MARCORSYSCOM
QUANTICO, Va. —
As recent developments in distant battlefields have shown, successful military operations rely on resilient communication architectures capable of closing kill chains in austere environments.
In order to maintain fleet lethality, Marine Corps Systems Command is working on fielding a state-of-the-art multichannel handheld radio system that mitigates against peer adversary threats and enables Marines to quickly add new waveforms and enhanced capabilities to address evolving requirements.
"The Multichannel radio family of systems will provide the [Fleet Marine Force] with an enhanced capability that increases resiliency and survivability through network interoperability during missions involving both ground and vehicular-based forces," said Richard Sessions, program manager for communications systems at MARCORSYSCOM. "These new radios will provide the fleet with many new options in configuring communications and network pathways while leveraging newer, more secure waveforms."
Ultimately, this effort will help further the Department of Defense's 2022 National Defense Strategy, which calls for preserving command, control, and communications in a fast-paced battlefield. Furthermore, it falls in line with the Department's Joint All-Domain Command and Control Implementation Plan – or JADC2—a "warfighting necessity to keep pace with the volume and complexity of data in modern warfare and to defeat adversaries decisively."
"What I really appreciate about the team is their investment. It's something I see from government, civilians, and contractors alike…"
Lt. Col. Joshua Kapp, product manager for ground radios
"Fielding a tactical radio that allows data to be transmitted helps advance JADC2 because the framework itself requires connectivity at all levels. In order to fully realize this vision across the Department of Defense, our team has worked tirelessly to develop a radio that closes communications links between the Corps and the joint forces; prevents communications from being compromised; ensures resiliency; and operates on the right waveforms," said Lt. Col. Joshua Kapp, product manager for ground radios.
But as Kapp knows well, one of the first steps in creating a modern communication architecture is acquiring – and sustaining — tactical ground radios that operate on reliable, secure, and flexible communication networks. In today's defense landscape, these systems operate on high-frequency, ultrahigh-frequency, very high-frequency bands, satellite communications and multiband radios.
"Collectively, our mission is to field and sustain tactical radio equipment that enables command and control and the situational awareness at echelons and elements across the MAGTF and provides a line of sight beyond line-of-sight secure voice data," Kapp said in a recent MARCORSYSCOM podcast. "It's a long way of saying that we cover all of the tactical radios in the Marine Corps."
Acquiring the correct systems to ensure the lethality of the modern warfighter is no easy task – especially when the team must maintain the 85,000 radios currently owned by the Corps, in addition to fielding an additional 34,000 radios over the next five years.
"We're in a consistent cycle of contract prep and award, product testing, software and firmware updates, technological evaluations, waveform development, FMF engagement, and support and sustainment efforts," Kapp noted. "Without a doubt, we also spend a considerable amount of time doing commodity management and integration activities across the Command and [other] Services."
According to Sessions, fielding of the new multichannel handheld radios will begin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Driving a highly professional acquisitions program has also benefited the Corps, however, and Sessions was quick to note that the recent industry contract for handheld multichannel radios ended up saving the Corps millions of dollars.
"We're talking about an initial savings of $82 million. Beyond that, we've negotiated 10 years of support and an agreement to allow our Marines to do Level 3 maintenance without voiding our warranty. That isn't something a radio vendor has allowed before," Sessions noted.
But Kapp believes his team's success wouldn't be possible without the hard work and dedication of his team members — many of whom are Marine Corps veterans.
"What I really appreciate about the team is their investment. It's something I see from government, civilians, and contractors alike. What you may not know, however, is that the vast majority of my team is made up of past Marines. They have children, brothers and sisters who are still serving," Kapp said.
"Inevitably, this means that they bring a ton of dedication into the work that they do. It's not just about being successful… there's true passion behind the work they do because they know what the end result is."
