Bergaholmsstenen, med signum Sö 302, är en runsten vid Bergaholmsvägen söder om Bornsjön i Salems socken och Salems kommun, Svartlösa härad, Stockholms län i Södermanland.

Stenen
Runstenen står i södra delen av Bergaholms gravfält. Richard Dybeck, upphovsmannen av svenska nationalsången "Du gamla, du fria" fann stenen år 1865. Den låg då nästan omkullfallen men restes och står nu fortfarande på samma plats. Stenen har daterats till 1060-1100 efter Kristus.

Inskriften

En runsten var dåtidens statussymbol, därför skulle den synas av så många förbipasserande som möjligt. Platsen var väl vald, för här gick antagligen föregångaren till Göta landsväg förbi. Cirka en kilometer längre västerut längs samma gamla färdväg finns Oxelbystenen (Sö 304).

Sandra Lee Bartky criticises the account of meaning contained in Heidegger's ontology in Being and Time. In her view, Heidegger must choose between the claim that meaning is received and the claim that it is created, but is unable to do so. This paper argues that Bartky's criticism is misconceived, by showing that meaning, as Heidegger understands it, is necessarily both created and received. According to a number of influential commentators, the ultimate source of meaning is das Man – Heidegger's conception of the social world. This paper initially considers, but ultimately rejects, the view that the source of meaning, as Heidegger presents it, is social. Instead, this paper argues that meaning is rooted in what Heidegger calls 'letting be'. Letting be articulates a distinctive relationship between the human being (Dasein) and entities. This relationship, it is argued, accommodates the notion of meaning as both received and created, by reconstituting these terms within a context that defines the human being as an interpreting entity, therefore showing that letting be should be understood as the ultimate source of meaning in Heidegger's ontology.

How to finance solar power?
Asset financing for PV projects has grown 58% since 2004 and surged to a record $21.1bn in 2011, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).
Felicity Carus
New financial innovations being discussed for solar power projects could open up unprecedented access to capital for the sector...
This article is taken from the forthcoming issue of Renewable Energy Focus magazine (March/April 2013 issue). To register to receive a digital copy click here. (Note - free of charge to qualifying individuals).
Bank loans, power company equity, federal programmes and tax credits have so far succeeded in growing the US solar market to 6.4GW installed capacity in 2011. More good times lay ahead too, with the US forecast to reach 30GW installed capacity by 2020.
However, to get there, more capital is needed, just at a time when federal loans have run out. The US Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is decreasing from 30% to 10% in 2016 and Basel II regulations have reduced the tenor of loans from 20 years to 10 years, a more natural fit with most solar projects.
So financial innovation will be key to unlocking a trillion dollar opportunity in the sector and bring the industry to the next stage of maturity. Some of these funding mechanisms are unique to solar, and others are transplants from other sectors such as real estate, mortgage debt and the fossil fuel industry.
Dramatic cost reductions in PV panels, from $4 per watt in 2008 to $0.65 per watt at the end of last year, have helped balance the equation for developers as 20GW of oversupply wash around the global market and destroy manufacturers' bottom line or cause them to collapse entirely. "The cost decline of equipment because of manufacturing overcapacity and technology improvements is the silver lining in the midst of the ongoing rationalisation of the solar sector," says Partho Sanyal, managing director of the global energy and power group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "The cost of delivery of solar power has dropped so dramatically that every day solar power is becoming more cost competitive."
Unchartered territory
But rock bottom prices are not enough.
Asset financing for PV projects has grown 58% since 2004 and surged to a record $21.1bn in 2011, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). However, BNEF analysts estimate that about $6.9bn of annual funding will be required to meet the anticipated growth in the US by 2020.
Michel Di Capua, head of research North America at BNEF, says: "This financing picture is so interesting because it's a frontier that hasn't yet been tested. There's still opportunity in terms of bringing down the costs of capital."
Solar projects require three types of capital: equity; debt and tax equity. Utilities or independent power companies often provide 20-30% equity, while banks can expect returns of around 6-7% for their loans and tax equity investors can expect a 14-18% yield.
In the utility sector, the ITC has been particularly attractive to investors with a large tax liability, such as banks like Morgan Stanley. But corporations have been slow to grasp the potential benefits with the exception of a few companies like Google.
Over the past couple of years, third-party lease and power purchase agreements have revolutionised the way consumers and businesses finance solar. Under these agreements, a customer will repay a third-party through monthly fixed charges, or based on how many kWh the system produces over 10-25 years.
Demand for SolarCity's stock after its successful IPO last year proved the economic effectiveness of third-party financing. Its competitor, Sunrun, attracted $200mn in funding from Credit Suisse last year.
But other financial innovations being discussed now in the industry could open up unprecedented access to capital. Securitisation may be a loaded concept after the derivatives from mortgage debt turned sour, triggering the financial crisis.
"If we look at many of the derivatives that were used for the mortgage industry, those structures were abused," says Tim Keating, senior vice president at SCS Renewables, which is developing software platform to assess the bankability of solar projects. "But they are rational, reasonable financial structures. Like anything else, they are sound if you don't abuse them."
Small-scale third-party-owned solar could require up to $5.2bn in financing in 2014, say BNEF analysts. But if all of 2011's installed residential capacity were securitised, the proceeds from the securitised assets would contribute 32-47% of capital for residential solar in 2012 and 31-42% of commercial build, according to BNEF's Reimagining Solar Finance report published last year.
Kristian Hanelt is the senior vice president of Renewable Capital Markets at Clean Power Finance, which connects financiers with installers who can draw down from $600m in funds from Google and Morgan Stanley. "Securitisation is going to happen this year. That's going to be a great step. There will be a lot of momentum to get more volume out into the public market. That's going to be a great thing for the industry and will get a lot of folks on Wall St excited."
Some other financing mechanisms are also attracting a lot of interest after success in other sectors. Renewable Energy Trust Capital based in San Francisco is looking to transfer a proven mechanism in real estate to the solar industry.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) provide investors significant tax breaks and are traded on the open market like mutual funds. The company has applied to the Inland Revenue Service (IRS) to allow it to raise money for large-scale solar facilities in the same way as real estate trusts raise money for large developments such as shopping centres. The IRS is expected to make a decision soon that could potentially lower the cost of capital by 20%.
Meanwhile, Delaware Senator Chris Coons has introduced a bill to extend Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) to the renewable industry. MLPs are only subject to income tax for shareholders and are exempt from corporate taxes. MLPs have been used extensively in the fossil fuel industry to invest in energy oil, natural gas, coal extraction and pipeline projects and their market capital has grown from $65bn in 2005 to $350bn last year. The Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act would be a "tweak" to the tax code to allow renewables investors to enjoy the same tax benefits as investors in fossil fuels.
Yield companies could see public trading of the operations division of a clean energy company, while the riskier development division remains private. Bond issuance for solar projects may also become more popular after MidAmerican offered the 550MW Topaz solar project last February. Its $700mn offering was oversubscribed with $1.2bn bonds applied for.
Benefits for small projects
Traditional forms of financing such as the 30% ITC are a natural fit with large-scale projects as tax equity investors typically look to invest $15m-$30m. As a result, utility-scale projects are attractive for investors, and residential opportunities have grown thanks to third party financing.
But financing for smaller commercial projects is a real pinch point, says Di Capua: "The ones that are a bit tricky are distributed projects for the commercial sector where you're dealing in the hundreds of kilowatt range. But this is almost the best opportunity for solar growth because there could be so many potential offtakers, it could work in so many markets and there are so many rooftops in the country.
"But the financing piece is sometimes not obvious – the yields aren't big enough to attract the attention of investors and they're not standardised enough to package them into big portfolios."
Constantino Nicolaou, president of PanelClaw, a mounting systems company, says this is a massive missed opportunity. "We have an opportunity in the US where we have a trillion dollar market that is less than 1% developed.
"If we can get the capital piece right we can capitalise on this trillion dollar market. That's going to take a lot more than words, feelings and thoughts. It's going to take data, analytics and commitment."
PanelClaw has joined with Mosaic, Standard & Poor's, Assurant, DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and 10 other organisations and companies to lower capital costs by reducing project risks through the development of uniform standards for solar project screening, rating and underwriting. The TruSolar consortium claims that less than 5% of the 65,000 banks and lending institutions in the US are actively involved in financing solar projects due to lack of data to accurately price risk.
Data would enable solar projects to be given credit-ratings. A cheaper, secondary market or debt market could then be created where organisations buy pools of loans from banks and other lending institutions and sell them as securities to investors, says David Schroeder, vice-president of operations and industry relations at insurers Assurant. "This would be a new market for the solar industry," he says. "Secondary markets exist for a lot of other products such as automobile loans, mortgage loans, credit card loans, etc."
Marco Krapels, executive vice president with Rabobank North America, agrees: "In the US, there are hundreds of deals not getting the proper amount of attention because they are not big enough for the big banks."
Rabobank has an almost zero default rate on its solar portfolio, part of a multi-billion dollar global portfolio, he adds. "Solar PV as a basic technology has been around for more than 40 years and is what I argue to be one of the safest asset classes," he says.
Sound retirement plan
Solar is "such a solid asset class" that pension funds should start to look at its long-term, low-risk returns, he adds. "The US retirement industry is a $15trn industry and most US retirees have a high level of control over where their 401k is invested," he says. "Turning solar finance into a note that is eligible for someone on 401k would open up hundreds of billions of dollars of liquidity."
Krapels has just joined the board at crowdfunding company Mosaic, which was recently named in the world's top five most innovative energy companies after less than a year in business. Mosaic's web-based platform allows anyone with an internet connection and a $100 to invest in solar.
Over $1mn has been invested in its distributed generation projects so far, with average returns to investors of 4.5%. Greg Rosen, Mosaic's chief investment officer says: "It's relatively small, but you have to start somewhere. We're already in diligence on projects that are more than 1MW in size. In a few months we'll have millions of dollars available to invest in."
Getting more people involved, whether on Wall Street or Main Street, will be the key to solar growth and financial innovation in the sector, says Krapels. "We need to engage the public and speak to their self interest more. While I care about saving polar bears, I'm much more interested in saying 'OK, how can I get my energy from a cleaner source and make money at the same time'. That will move this discussion and we're getting pretty close to that. The future is bright."

500BC-1BC
1968 - Olympics
Doping and sports - 1981
Doping in the GDR
Because of the many complications caused by the anabolic injections, Catherine Menschner (1967-) had to stop swimming when she was fourteen. It left her with permanent damage to her spine and reproductive organs. At the age of six she won her first race and that is why she was admitted to the East German sports academy, where she had to swallow all kinds of brightly colored sweets. At the age of 11 she managed a hundred push-ups without any problems. After her career she could barely manage to lift 250 grams, she suffered from back pain, was short of breath and regularly got infections from her excessively large lungs. She also attributed the seven miscarriages she received to the products she received during her childhood. After her sportive career, she worked as a journalist in Berlin.
Christiane Knacke (1962-) stopped swimming in 1981, after she won the bronze at the Moscow Olympics in the 100m butterfly stroke, after her compatriots Andrea Pollack (1961-) and Caren Metschuck (1963-). In 2017 she looked back on this period during an interview.
"I no longer saw any perspective in swimming and in the GDR. I wanted more of life. I wanted a family. I wanted to be able to move. When I was eighteen, I had already been operated on the musculoskeletal system three or four times. "
In 1977 during the country meeting against the United States, she was the first woman to swim the 100m butterfly stroke under 1 minute, with a chrono of 59.78. Half a year before that new world record, she had received Oral-Turinabol for the first time and the results were already noticeable at that time. Later, syringes followed to make the training lighter, according to the trainers.
"The day consisted of swimming, eating and studying. 14 hours at a time until you came home. Our body could no longer cope with the rapid muscle growth. When we questioned our supervisors about this, we crashed against a wall of silence. We felt severe muscle pain every time we got the stuff. Such arms, such legs, such balloons. Too fast muscle growth. After three weeks of treatment you could already see enormous changes in your body. You could almost see your muscles grow. But you continued training, twenty kilometers every day. "
"When I think back to the swimmers from the United States or other countries, I do not think we were the only people who were doped. The Americans were not at all elegant, they were also such animals. "
"We received the Oral-Turinabol without packaging, the doctors and coaches watched closely whether we took them. Today I know that I was a guinea pig. Without us knowing it and without our parents knowing it, we were testing medicines that caused serious damage. They made us addicted .... If you were badly trained or rebellious, you got less as a punishment ... We got heavy voices and we had to shave our legs constantly, crazy how hairy they were. "
In 1978, the year after her fabulous world record, she would normally have become world champion in West Berlin. But that did not happen. At an internal check just before the start of the World Cup, it appeared that her body had not metabolised the Oral-Turinabol quickly enough and she was sent back home with Petra Thümer (1961-). The lab technicians had clearly miscalculated themselves. The following year she won Olympic bronze in Moscow and said that she did that clean.
She married and divorced from the FDL official Driesener and married in Vienna with the Austrian trade union delegate Sommer. Professionally, she became an accountant for the Theater der Jugend in Vienna.
Paraguayan football players Cesar Diaz, Mariano Pesca, Ortiz Aquino and Aldo Florenti of vice-champion Club Cerro Porteno were sentenced to three to five years in prison after being caught doping.
Belgian sports physician Andre Noret (1933-2004) told in 1981 about his first doping experiences from the 1950s in football:
"As a student, I sat on the board of a large Belgian football club, which organized an important international tournament with major European youth teams, each team was assigned an attendant, I was with the Italians who had brought a doctor." Revolutionary for those days, not one other team had medical support for its juniors, even the English, the Germans, the French or the Dutch ... After the medical examination, the Italian doctor distributed large amounts of medication at sunrise, at bedtime and for every meal. In addition, he gave some players intravenous or intramuscular injections fifteen minutes before each game.... He told me that the medications distributed in the hotel were vitamins, tonics and preventive agents for liver damage, but he didn't say anything about the contents of the syringes... Becoming suspicious I did not lose sight of Dr. X and one evening I saw him disposing of empty ampoules, which he had carefully hidden in a bag, in the street adjacent to the stadium. A few hours later I went looking for the empty ampoules, which told me the secret why the young players never tired. They were amphetamines, which he had given to young guys aged 17 to 19 years. "
Three years after Argentina won the World Cup 3-1 in the capital Buenos Aeres in the home city, team physician Rubén Oliva (1923-2013) revealed in the French newspaper 'Le Figaro' that this was done with the help of performance-enhancing drugs.
Finnish athlete Kaarlo Maaninka (1943-) won silver in the 10.000m and bronze in the 5.000m during the Olympic Games in 1980 in Moscow. The following year he confessed that it was thanks to blood doping, which was not yet forbidden.
German hammer thrower Uwe Beyer (1945-1993) confessed in a monthly magazine that he had injected anabolics for years, enabling him to win the bronze medal at the 1964 Games in Tokyo. When he died of a heart attack in 1993, it was linked to his excessive use.
On 7 July 1981 the American Ben Plucknett (1954-2002) improved the world record discus throw with a 72m34 throw. The following week, however, the International Association of Athletes removed his name from the tables after he tested positive for anabolics.

American Graffiti is a 1973 coming of age film co-written/directed by George Lucas starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips and Harrison Ford. Set in 1962 Modesto, California, American Graffiti is a study of the cruising and rock and roll cultures popular among the post--World War II baby boom generation. The film is a nostalgic portrait of teenage life in the early 1960s told in a series of vignettes, featuring the story of a group of teenagers and their adventures within one night.
The genesis of American Graffiti was in Lucas's own teenage years in early 1960s Modesto. He was unsuccessful in pitching the concept to financiers and distributors but finally found favor at Universal Pictures after United Artists, 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Paramount Pictures turned him down. Filming was initially set to take place in San Rafael, California, but the production crew was denied permission to shoot beyond a second day. As a result, most filming for American Graffiti was done in Petaluma.
American Graffiti was released to universal critical acclaim and financial success, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Produced on a $775,000 budget, the film has turned out to be one of the most profitable movies of all time. Since its initial release, American Graffiti has garnered an estimated return of well over $200 million in box office gross and home video sales, not including merchandising. In 1995, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.

Federal Court Keeps Youth Climate Case on Hold Pending Government Appeal

Litigation |
By Karen Savage
U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken has approved another appeal by the Trump administration in Juliana v. United States, keeping the landmark youth-led climate suit paused while the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals considers the government's attempts to stop the case before trial.
While Aiken argued in her ruling on Wednesday that the case would be better situated for appeal after trial, not before, she acknowledged the Ninth Circuit's suggestion that she reconsider her previous denial of an interlocutory appeal—a rare legal maneuver in which a higher court reviews a lower court's decisions before a trial has concluded.
The Juliana trial had been scheduled had been scheduled to begin in Aiken's courtroom on Oct. 29 before the latest volley of government appeals succeeded in delaying it.
Aiken said she did not make the decision lightly.
"This Court stands by its prior rulings on jurisdictional and merits issues, as well as its belief that this case would be better served by further factual development at trial," Aiken wrote.
Philip Gregory, co-counsel for the plaintiffs, said given the "extreme urgency of the climate crisis" he believes the Ninth Circuit will ultimately allow the trial to proceed.
"As Judge Aiken stated in her Order, given the sheer volume of evidence submitted by Plaintiffs, trial presents 'the most efficient course for both the parties and the judiciary.' We believe the Ninth Circuit will agree with Judge Aiken that 'this case would be better served by … trial'," Gregory said in a statement.
Julia Olson, who also represents the young plaintiffs, said the government has repeatedly made baseless claims, used repetitive appeals to delay discovery and trial and made unfounded claims of 'irreparable harm' to the government if a trial were to proceed.
"These claims are not supported by a shred of evidence," Olson said. "In contrast, our youth have thousands of pages of evidence and the best experts on the planet ready to testify under oath that these plaintiffs' lives, liberties, and property are threatened by these defendants, that their world is being endangered and destroyed as we speak."
The case has survived numerous attempts by the government to dismiss it since it was originally originally filed in 2015. The 21 young plaintiffs, who from around the country, argue that the federal government is violating their Constitutional rights to life, liberty and property by promoting an energy system that exacerbates climate change. They are asking for a science-based program to reduce carbon emissions and protect the climate for future generations.
Miko Vergun, a 17-year-old plaintiff from Beaverton, Ore., said the Trump administration is disregarding her future by pressing for further delays.
"We all fight for things that affect our lives and that we believe in, but this is a fight to survive and we have no time to lose to more delays," Vergun said.
"Climate change affects where I was born in the Marshall Islands and where I now live in Oregon. It's like wherever I go, I can't escape it. I feel like the people leading this country are failing young people like me."

… and my English teacher wanted us to use a title page on our essay. I was using the mla-paper package in LaTeX, but that package only allowed for a standard MLA paper with the heading on the first page. I needed a title page, and so I hacked mla.sty into mlawithtitle.sty which has a title page instead. It's not a very pretty hack, but it allows for a separate title page and that's what matters to me.
Usage notes are in the file itself.

Whether you live in Dubai, Bahrain or Qatar you are most likely only a few miles from the sea. Having fresh local fish can be a highlight to living in this part of the world, and as we know it is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
Supermarkets have pricey, imported fish, which can make them an expensive option for most home cooks and fisherman and savvy businesses are catching on fast.
This innovative service is the brainchild of young Bahrainis who wanted to offer the freshest seafood to customers and help support local Bahraini fishermen. Customers can make an order online or by phone and have the fish delivered straight to your door.
Al Sayadeen, translated as the Fisherman's Restaurant in English, is a real deal seafood buffet. This simple eatery is based at Muharraq Wharf and offers customer's fresh seafood dishes cooked in a variety of different ways each day. We particularly enjoyed nibbling away at the steamed crab while looking out at the blue blue sea.
This Keralan fish hotspot is the place to go for fresh seafood in Dubai. Head to this small cabin in Jumierah to order from whatever local fish they have in that day. Normally there is a type of grouper and shrimp, marinated in the spicy 'special' sauce. Be prepared to sit on plastic stools in the garden, use your fingers and dig in.
Our top tips are to bring hand wipes, a tablecloth and some candles, to really create a special atmosphere!
Another gem in Jumeirah, we hear this recently opened fish market is the easiest place to stock up on seafood. No more heading to the fish market or supermarket. Open from 6am-1pm and 4pm-10pm, with adjusted times on Fridays.
We hear L'wzaar in Katara cultural village is the place to get fresh fish in Doha. If the website is anything to go by we imagine this place to be right on the spot.
If there are any interesting fish restaurants or initiatives in your neighbourhood do let us know to add here!

Agape for Hurricane Harvey Victims
by Deacon Richard Longoria, Contributor
"Never a complaint. Totally enthusiastic and energetic for their work and all done with excitement, and with respect for those they are helping." These the words spoken by Jim Flanagan, youth leader from St. Elizabeth-St. Isadore parish in the Boston Archdiocese. He was describing the 75 high school students and chaperones from various parishes in the Boston area he brought to our diocese last month to help and engage with south Texas victims of Hurricane Harvey, the second most powerful hurricane to ever hit the United States.
This was Jim's fourth trip to the Coastal Bend for Harvey victims. And half of the youth were making a return trip, having worked for Harvey victims last summer. He said the youth paid their own way through fundraisers they held during the year and through their own parent's donations.
During the week of June 23-29, they spilt up into small groups, tackling projects in Ingleside, Gregory, Sinton, Aransas Pass, Rockport and Corpus Christi. They coordinated their work through the Coastal Bend Disaster Recovery Group (CBDRG), one of several volunteer organizations working for Harvey victims in our diocese. Under the direction of skilled craftsmen from the CBDRG at each location they and their chaperones laid flooring, repaired damaged structures, worked with dry wall, caulked, painted, cut lumber, and did various sorts of carpentry and most importantly, they engaged in basic Christian charity, we call "agape," the action of love, wanting nothing but the best for God's people.
Filling up two large buses and several rental vehicles, the youth and leaders arrived at St. John Paul II High School to board for the week and spirits were high as they bounded from the buses with enthusiasm and smiling faces. Father Peter Martinez, president of the school, graciously offered them room and board at the diocesan high school.
Every morning they woke early and before heading out to their projects, they attended 7 a.m. Mass celebrated by Father Will Sexton from the Boston Archdiocese who accompanied the teens. Bishop Michael Mulvey concelebrated Mass with Father Sexton for the youth on their final work day and he conveyed his deepest thanks to the teens for their generosity and sacrifice for Harvey victims who live more than two thousand miles from the Boston area.
The groups stationed at the sites worked with unbridled joy and remained joyful, smiling even as perspiration dripped from their faces. They had the smile of Christ along with the Lord's determination to bring joy where there is sadness, hope where there is despair, and relief where there is pain. Their working hands were His hands and Christ laughed, when they were joyful. The Sacred Heart of Jesus beat with grandeur and magnificence for the charity they bestowed on the people in the Diocese of Corpus Christi.
In the past year there have been several groups of high school and college students from Corpus Christi and other areas who have given up some of their free time or Spring Break to labor in the Harvey fields of south Texas. College students from Iowa State University spent part of their Spring Break moving a Catholic Charities client and her children to her new home in March. Her old home had been mold infested after a tree fell on top of her trailer. She had received much damage from a compromised roof and rising flood waters.
Connect, a youth group from Holy Family Parish in Corpus Christi, dedicated a weekend in February to prayer and service, clearing away debris from the former VFW building and a local park in Port Aransas. Some students from the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Newman Center spent a Saturday sharing their physical and spiritual energy with their neighbors in Rockport, cleaning debris from one of the sites affected by the hurricane.
Students from University of Texas Arlington Newman Center gave up their Spring Break to labor for those whose lives have been turned upside down by the hurricane and high school students from St. Dominic Savio in Austin and Bishop Gorman High School students in Tyler gave up their Spring Breaks two years in a row to help south Texans.
All these efforts by these unselfish youth and adults give insights into our early apostolic church where small clusters of believers, instructed by the apostles, banded around the Eucharistic feast to bring the love of Christ to all peoples and nations, to bring healing and joy by working together in union with the Body of Christ. If this is the future of our Church, we are in good hands.
The two-year anniversary of Harvey's landfall will be on August 25. The storm was so large, so powerful, so destructive, that victims are still trying to put their lives back together. In 2017, you could see the piles of debris, the remnants of people's lives and households, in great mounds along Highway 35, in Port Aransas and on Highway 181 near Gregory. The work is not over. Help is still needed. Christian charity is in demand. For more information on how you can help call (361) 446-2291 or email rlongoria@diocesecc.org.

CVAs – here today, here tomorrow
Fieldworks Marketing – 13.06.19
Arcadia Group chairman, Philip Green is right. As he said on the BBC on June 13, 'the market place has changed forever.' And how retailers cope with that fact is seeing once unacceptable practices become not only mainstream but broadly respectable.
The bête noire of landlords up and down the UK is the CVA or Company Voluntary Agreement. It's a neat euphemism for a defensive strategy that enables retailers to escape some of their debts, giving them breathing space to pull some kind of workable business from the flames before the whole thing turns to ashes, or the liquidators suck up what remains of the cash.
What CVAs generally do, as Arcadia knows, is enable retailers to Big Bang the plans that they could never pull off in the ordinary course of business. Blame the CEO, blame trading, blame operations, blame who you like, but it takes a real force of will to change a business without the pressure of extreme external force, usually a collapse in trading. How many retailers are there in the UK praying for the chance to CVA their way to the sunlit uplands of fewer stores, growing online sales and complete channel integration around the needs of the customer?
What we must now all accept is, as Green and others are saying, UK retail is going through a correction, or perhaps even a complete reinvention, and clearly needs not only CVAs but other instruments that will give it time to reposition.
Trouble is, what happens to all that retail property that is now vacant? Where the stores are small, there is usually someone to fill the space; retailers like Lidl, Aldi and IKEA that are moving into the High Street are perfect candidates, but they're unlikely to be interested in some of these larger empty properties.
One suggestion, and also an idea for the future of the department store, is that these large spaces are filled with pop-ups, a concept that enables the owner to negotiate lower rents, shorter leases, and generally more flexibility in terms of layout. However, if you fill the High Street with pop-ups, that hardly accounts for total existing retail space, and it appears that nobody wants to really think about what the High Street might look like where retailers are occupying less space overall.
We hear people talk about increasing the amount of residential accommodation in the High Street, but I've not seen any examples of this other than in brand-new retail developments, and then mostly in the US.
So CVAs are here to stay, and clearly they give retailers another option which I suppose is positive. But it in no way addresses the long-term threats to retail. The list of failures or near failures in 2019 so far according to the Centre for Retail Research * does not make for pretty reading, even for those retailers that have successfully used a CVA to get back on their feet.
Realbuzz, Rococo Chocolates, Skandium, Debenhams, Select, Pretty Green, The Bottle Shop, Office Outlet, Superfi, Better Bathrooms, L K Bennett, Bennetts Department Store, tReds, Wine Direct, Monsoon Accessorize, OddBins and Wine Cellars, Patisserie Valerie, Miss Shoes, Chapelle Jewellery & Watches, Wild and Gorgeous, Hardy Amies, Steamer Trading.
But before anyone thinks that the CVA is a panacea, it is nothing more than a lifeline. Those retailers that survive liquidation still need to look long and hard at themselves and answer existential questions – who are we, what is our purpose, how are we special, who wants what we sell and how do customers want to buy? Any retailer, good and bad, asking these questions today is unlikely to be happy with the answers they get back.

Local 400 President Mark Federici (first row, second from left), poses for a photo with the Giant & Safeway Contract Action Team at a union meeting in November 2016.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA – After four months of speculation, uncertainty, and fear, Giant employees, customers, and community supporters won a huge victory yesterday, saving their local stores.
It took dozens of rallies, community meetings, and marches, but employees at eight area Giant stores, six in the Fredericksburg area and two in Southern Maryland, were told yesterday that their stores would remain Giant. In March Giant had told employees at those locations that their stores would be put up for sale as part of the merger between Giant's Netherlands based parent company Ahold and Belgium based Delhaize, the parent company of Food Lion.
The merger, and the sale of 86 stores, including a number of Food Lions in the area, still needs to be approved by the Federal Trade Commission, but Delhaize and Ahold both said they expect that approval before the end of the month.
The only Giant store to be sold as part of the pending merger is in Salisbury, Maryland. It will be sold to ACME, a division of Albertsons, and employees there will have the option to stay in their jobs and preserve their union.
"We will be watching closely to see what the FTC does at the end of the month, but we are breathing a huge sigh of relief today knowing we won our fight to save our store," said Nene Patton who works at Giant in Accokeek, Maryland.
Employees at all eight of the Giant stores that have been saved are members of the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 400. Union members not only pressured Giant to do the right thing by preserving good union jobs, but also contacted the Federal Trade Commission and their local elected officials to express concerns about the impact on wages, benefits, and competition if the Giant stores were sold.
That Side you say: 400!

After completing numerous spot safety checks in grocery stores located in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, one thing stands out more than the rest. The safety covers on the film wrapping machines that are used in several departments throughout the store are often cut, cracked or covered in residue. The safety cover is often mistaken to protect the user's hands from the heat when the film is melted down, but in reality it is there to prevent the user when sealing a package from breathing in the fumes from the burning film. In a time weighted average prolonged exposure to these fumes could cause cancer. So be sure to protect yourself and your coworkers. When you notice a safety cover that is worn let your manager know so they can put in an order. Why take the chance? Click here to view what a film wrapping pad should NOT look like.

Furnishing Sustainabilty
Pepe Zalba,Prasad Ofrenda,Sustainable furniture
Presenting a range of furniture from Prasad, a co-operative that emerged from the desire to mesmerize combining elegance with innovation and honouring natural raw wood. The brand is striving to bring nature to your home in a sustainable manner.
Prasad is a co-operative located in Bone Pukur Danga in Shantiniketan -'the abode of peace'. The idea behind the brand is to render a solemn touch of nature to homes. They attempt to revive the old traditional skills in order to restore ecological balance and dignify the use of natural raw wood in the process.
Currently, the brand manufactures chairs, tables, coffee tables, benches, vases and hangers. However, since working with wood entails the procurement of materials from the market, they are considering an expansion with the development of new ideas like doors, windows and beds as well.
Talking about the inception of the brand, Pepe Zalba, the founder, says it began with him sharing his aesthetic sense and sensibility towards wood with his friends – Raju Ghosh, Shanku Bagdi and Lackiram Maddi which eventually went on to them designing the products together. Articulating on the design inspiration behind the products, Pepe Zalba says, "Basically we take a look at the wood, still as a log, and start questioning ourselves how we can we turn it into something appropriate for daily use while respecting it at the same time. We reflect on how its shape and size allows us to execute the task with the minimum intervention on the wood while maximising its qualities."
The work begins with the initial effort of sourcing full trees and cutting them. They research and try to employ techniques that were used during pre-historic times with materials as natural as possible. The wood is adequately treated either with fire to increase the quality and with linseed oils and bee wax to preserve them.
The brand is community-based and highly regards local expertise as local craftsmen are the only suppliers. They are also committed to retaining the pieces neat and simple and minimising the use of nails and screws. The products are beautiful, detachable and easily transported. The brand pledges to ensure that the wood they use finds its way back to the ecosystem by engaging in reforestation activities in the area.
Pepe Zalba admits that the response to the products has been quite affirmative so far. People get surprised by the kind of furniture they come up with because of the rustic yet sophisticated feel that they generate. Interestingly, people from all walks of life have a very similar reaction to their products.
Their first piece was sold to a professor of a university from Canada who had come to visit Santiniketan for a conference. Moreover, their products have also found a place amongst the possessions of few famous designers too.

College Basketball. All-Star. Game/Tournament. Sound Good?
By rockchalk Jul 11, 2007, 8:53pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: College Basketball. All-Star. Game/Tournament. Sound Good?
Even for those of you who have distanced yourself from major league baseball, you knew the All Star game was yesterday. That is because FOX and ESPN took every opportunity (and then some) to advertise it. You have to expect some self-promotion (ESPN covered the Home Run Derby, meaning self-promotion took place in Bristol) as the All Star "game" is one of the bigger spectacles all year long. 'How can that be', you say, 'if everyone talks so badly about it and its stupid catch phrase "This time, it counts!"'? Simple, kids love superstars. Across the country kid-after-kid turned on their television last night, to watch Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. And as I had the television on 'MUTE' last night (to avoid having to listen to Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, of course) watching this spectacle, I thought why can't college basketball have something similar? While not as simple strategic-wise as baseball, basketball is simple enough in nature to be able to put together a team a week or so after the season and start a tournament. A tournament that would feature all of the stars in the college game, a tournament featuring Greg Oden, Kevin Do-Rant and Joakim Noah following last season.
(The original idea can be found after the jump...)
Wow, the more and more I typed the more and more I realized that what started as a real and honest idea was becoming ESPN-ized. I would still watch most of it, I am a college basketball junkie, but I'm not sure how many people really -would- watch it. So, I'll scrap that and come up with a more serious idea, an East-West All Star game.
Similar to the McDonald's All American "game", it would team up kids from rival schools (Duke/Carolina comes to mind first) because of geographic location. It would, most importantly, provide a place for kids to connect with college basketball superstars, the stars that often get neglected for either more popular sports (NFL, MLB and college football) or more entertaining athletes (NBA) would have its own chance to shine. Who wouldn't watch a team of Arron Afflalo, Kevin Do-Rant and Julian Wright (had to include someone from Kansas) taking the court to face off against Tyler Hansbrough, Joakim Noah and Greg Oden? Entertainment galore. Of course, as you may have noticed, the Mississippi River would serve as the barrier for west and east. While not geographically correct in dividing the two halfs equally, the abundance of universities on the east coast far outweights those on the west coast and everything would be ok. Just something to discuss, join ("Create a Username" on your right) and feel free to comment and diary your life away, or at least your summer.
ROCK CHALK!
(Reminder: the "read more" is the original idea of the College Basketball All Star Tournament of teams seperated by conference. If you want to read about it, go ahead, otherwise the article is finished. Promise.)
Don't get me wrong, the last thing the hype-crazed, ESPN-led sports world need is a faux sporting event filled with more fluff than actual content. However, this event oculd open the game of college basketball to superstar-following kids from Los Angeles to New York and everywhere in-between. The ground-rules would be fairly simple, the All Star teams would be seperated by conference and the seedings would be based off of the conference's RPI during the season. For example, using last year's RPI ratings the ACC would be seeded atop the field, #1, whereas the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) would have "earned" the 32nd seed. The "Independents" would have a team of their own, just like every other conference. It would be single elimination, just like the Tournament, and would preferrably be played about 3-4 weeks after the National Championship game. It would be similar to a mini-NCAA Tournament, but instead of being stretched out over 3+ weeks to heighten interest and suspense would be crammed into a long, long weekend. Tuesday afternoon the games would start, half of the first round games would be played in 8 locations across the country. The next day, all of the other first round games would be played in either the same 8 cities or another 8, again two games per location, per day. That would cut it down to 16 teams and 8 games, 4 of which (the 8 teams that won on Wednesday) would be played on Thursday and the other 4 (winners from the Thursday games) would be played on Friday. Then comes the fun part, 8 games ALL DAY LONG on Saturday. ALL. DAY. LONG. Not sure where, most likely some of the same locations as the first round. Then the last 3 games would take place in Madison Square Garden during the next week.

Concern for Community
The 7th Cooperative Principle is Concern for Community, and these resources build on our proud history and bright future in community development and support. Beyond providing our membership with reliable, affordable electricity, Agralite is also committed to serving our communities in other ways. Agralite has its own Operation Round Up program where members can opt-in to rounding their electric bill up to the next dollar with the collective funds distributed to community projects and programs. Since 1993, members have contributed over $500,000 to local organizations through Operation Round Up.
Agralite introduced a post-secondary education scholarship program in 2016 with funds made available, in part, from unclaimed capital credits and through administration proceeds from the Rural Economic Development Loan program. Area students have been awarded $43,500 since the program's inception.
A number of Agralite employees volunteer on the local fire department. The co-op itself participates in parades, school safety days and camps as well.
Agralite's past and present show a continued demonstration of what it means to be a cooperative by not only serving its membership with reliable electricity, but by offering its communities support and more opportunities.


If you need a Panasonic DMR-E50 DVD video recovery service, then contact our friendly company.
Packard Bell DVD-R 4.7GB used in Panasonic Digital Video recorder DMR-E50. When adding video from camcorder to disc, an error message occurred and the disc could no longer be read (it had not been finalised). Thanks for the unbelievably rapid service. I shall process payment tomorrow.


Tom Derderian spoke about why he chose to become part of the Board. It wasn't about being critical of past decisions, etc., but he felt that in general people lost focus of the competitive factor in races.
Tom presented his idea of a new model, refers to by-laws (Article 11, section II – committee make up, for example). Tom wants the committees to handle more responsibility, help alleviate the load currently on Steve Vaitones' plate. He also mentioned making more use of social media, blogs, etc.
It was agreed that hard copies weren't necessary at the time. Eric read minutes from annual meeting, after which they were approved.
Stephen Peckiconis will make report available.
Steve Vaitones talked about sanctions, about how they provide insurance to events, etc. We have not made attempts to go out and sell this feature, if they did the sanctions would be much higher (most likely). Don't need to do it at the moment, as some event timing companies are recommending their clients do it. Steve thinks we'll be at 600 by end of the year. Members and approved sanctions are higher compared to a year ago (although the number of clubs is down).
He explained how there was only a small (minimal) chance of losing some of that sanctions business to the Road Runners Club of America. RRCA doesn't really even have a foothold in it compared to the USATF.
Steve discussed the need for help at upcoming cross country races, and he will contact with needs for specific people at races.
Steve handed out an article about the Pacific association, went into detail about how the committees handle the events, do most of the work.
Tom wants to establish committees, get more committees, and by next meeting have budgets prepared. Committee leaders should be prepared to give a pitch to sell it.
XC Chair (Jason Cakouros) - Participation down, last chair didn't get the word out. Three more events remaining. Jason formed a committee, eight members on it. It's all HFC and GBTC so far. Jason presented the flyer that was put on windshields at the Kerouac race. Noted that plenty of prize money out there. Displays a prototype flyer for the XC champs. Using social media to get the word out. Looking to bid for the Nat'l Champ XC race, bring it back to Boston for 2015. This year in Lexington, KY, then Bend, OR, followed by Lehigh Valley, PA…this is for club nationals. Steve Vaitones mentions that you need $25k in prize money and a firm facility in mind to bid. Deadline may be approaching, may have passed. Mike Scott is the chairman to contact.
Road racing (Lisa Doucett) - In Lisa's absence, Jim Garcia catches us up to speed on the Grand Prix bid issue. Problem: haven't had enough meetings, haven't had enough outreach. Trying to get 15 races on the slate at the moment. Amherst, NB, Cohasset 10k, Stowe, 5 mi (Carver only one), Newton 10k, NOTE: contact LONE GULL. Marathon: Cape Cod again, possibly get COX Providence road races to bid. Jim suggested we get in touch with committee members with ideas.
Will Feldman asks about starting the process for 2014.
Tom suggests we consider the model being used for GP races going forward.
T&F chair (Yvonne Green) – Yvonne put out the open call for committee members. She will set up subcommittees. Marketing/Social Media – tap into the post-collegiate market. Steve Vaitones recommends that field event people be added to the committee. She recommends the open call doc strategy that she used be applied to other committees.
Youth (Leigh Petranoff) – Leigh want to get kids involved, have showcase meets, programs through the community, work with disabled kids. Steve Viegas offered to help Leigh. Tom mentioned the Marja Bakker fund. There's about $26.7K in it, no restrictions other than use it for youth.
Masters (Mike Travers) – Mike spoke of his personal experience and past success as committee chair. He has 8-10 committee members and is looking for new people.
Race walking (Justin Kuo) – Justin explained how New England Walkers (NEW) has the largest group, and CSU has some too. The 1 Hour national champs coming up soon, and they've held it for the last 18 yrs. Small amount of prize money (hundreds, not thousands). About 50 participants for the nationals, also a youth race included. Will be hosting the annual US/Canada dual meet (summer of 2013). Tom poses the question of growth: Kuo mentions getting the youth on board is difficult.
Awards Banquet: Tom introduced Victoria Barnaby, she'll help out in the planning of the awards banquet. Victoria spoke about her experience and skills, been working in sports marketing at Puma, on the board for GBTC. Using a digital presence, doing what she already does essentially.
Jim Garcia spoke about difficulty finding a good venue. January in 12th…deposit paid? Stephen Peckiconis to verify check was issued [note: he verified it was]. Contract has been signed. Place is held. Joe Navas volunteered his service and knowledge with the industry. Yvonne can help get people on board. Budget is: $8,000. Last year $4.4k was spent out of pocket, after considering revenue from ticket sales to athletes. About 130 showed up. Looking at $15-25 subsidy per athlete (there was a $15 subsidy last year). Tom stated that we need to figure out how to select the people for these awards. Have so many people nominated, they find out the winner at the event. Steve Vaitones presented the program from NJ banquet and suggests that the committee contacts them.
Website (possible move to WordPress) – Committee to have a presentation ready for next meeting.
Online voting – allowed in the national rules? Get in touch with the national office to verify. There are three options for elections: online, in person (one person one vote) – most common way to go, and weighted amongst coaches & other groups. Suggested that we find other organizations of a similar size that currently use an online voting system.
Membership committee – what can we do to increase the membership? Figure out why we want to increase size, what's the plan in place for what happens when we do get the increased numbers. Problem with open meets for kids outside of MA. John has a Masters recruiting DVD.
Sports chairs budget – money available, newly appointed chairs should find the budgets on Google docs. Joe asked how budgets are used, it was explained that money was spent on things like: Ironrunner jackets, awards, money to send people to nationals, etc.
Steve Vaitones spoke about how elected officials (ie the board) represent the face of organization. Ideas were discussed for official releases and social media use (see formal social media policy line, below).
As far as contacting members, question was raised about availability of a mass list. Things are sent through the national office. Delivra is our system, need to be careful how to use it.
Formal social media policy – Victoria Barnaby to lead this up, perhaps form a committee and investigate adding something to the by-laws.
Board members need to get disclosure and background checks in.
Moved to adjourn, seconded. Adjourned at 9:26 pm.

Warner Wolf has spoken with YES about the possibility of resurrecting his career by joining the network, sources have told NYP TV Sports.
Since being fired by WCBS-2 on Memorial Day weekend, Wolf has been searching for a new job. He also has met with YES' regional rival, MSG.
The problem right now for the 66-year-old Wolf is finding a role at either of these places.
A YES spokesman declined comment.
Fox Sports President Ed Goren confirmed to us that YES did contact him about its CEO position. The parties met last month, but Goren, despite being from New York, isn't heading east.
"I'm not going anywhere today, tomorrow or years from now, other than out to a golf course," Goren said from Los Angeles.
Twice a week, HBO's Cris Carter will co-host a talk show with ex-WFANer Steve Cohen on Sirius' Satellite's NFL network. The network is set to launch this summer. Sirius is trying to add ex-CBS analyst Deion Sanders as well.
To the disappointment of The Next Great Champ leading man, Oscar De La Hoya, Teddy Atlas has been unable to strike a deal with the Fox reality show yet. Part of the problem has been ESPN's reluctance to accommodate Atlas, who serves ESPN as a boxing commentator.
"ESPN's main concern was that Teddy would not be a commentator for the show and that Teddy wouldn't miss any of their boxing shows," Atlas' agent, Gary Rosen said.
Atlas would be a trainer, not a commentator, and wouldn't miss any ESPN shows, Rosen said.
It seems pretty simple. When a show does a story about someone who passes away, it should pay its respects, then fade to black before going to commercial. Also, during the stories, it should lose any score tickers.
This week on SportsCenter, ESPN produced a nice tribute to deceased sportswriter Ralph Wiley of ESPN.com. During the segment, ESPN ran its "Bottom Line" scores of the day and news ticker. After the piece, the network teased what was up next on the show. These are nitpicky points, but when dealing with death, networks should lose any self-promotion and trivialities.
YES' Michael Kay gets the most out of his analysts of any local baseballcaster, but his home-run calls have a little too much radio-style description – unnecessary when there are pictures. Since 1050-ESPN Radio replays his calls, we thought that might be the reason.
"Absolutely not," Kay said. Kay disagreed with the too much play-by-play assessment, but said it could be remnants from his many years of doing Yankee radio.

We continue playing through the classic Gygaxian tournament module, T1: The Village of Hommlet. The second half has us discussing why Daniel is running the game the way he is, and Daniel gives a dubious genealogy of D&D.
You can grab a $5 pdf of the module from drivethrurpg here.
Monsters and Manuals. Daniel mentioned a blog post advocating "boring" maps. Not boring as in their contents, but "boring" as in generally easy to describe: rectangles, not trapezoids. That post is here: The Elementary Principles of Dungeon Drawing.
Braunstein. Daniel talked about Braunstein, an early wargame in which players controlled a single character. Check out its wiki page here.
Blackmoor. This was Dave Arneson's home campaign. It was released as a supplement for OD&D. And you can get just this supplement as a pdf now. Nice.


Notable Feature: Prized for its compact shrubby habit, impressive purple-red flowers, and its late season of bloom. 'Ann' is a member of the Little Girl series ('Ann', 'Betty', 'Jane', 'Judy', 'Pinkie', 'Randy', 'Ricki' and 'Susan') of hybrid magnolias developed and introduced by the U.S. National Arboretum in the 1950s.
Habit: A slow-growing, broadly rounded, deciduous shrub or small tree that typically grows to 10 to 15' tall and about as wide. Hardy in Zones 4-7.
Foliage: Dark green and somewhat leathery in appearance. Elliptic in shape, 4 to 6" long with rippled margins. Leaves turn yellow in fall.
Flower: Red-purple in bud. Upon opening the 6 to 8 petal-like tepals are a rich pink-red on the outside and paler within. The slightly fragrant flowers, 7 to 9" long and 2 to 4" wide are held upright and bloom mid-April to early May, the earliest of the Little Girls. Flowers may sporadically repeat bloom in midsummer.
Interesting Fact: 'Ann' is a cross between Magnolia liliiflora 'Nigra' and M. stellata 'Rosea'. Plants in the Little Girl series flower about 2 to 4 weeks later than the two popular garden favorites -- Star Magnolia (M. stellata) and Saucer Magnolia (M. x soulangeana), thus reducing potential damage to flowers from late spring frosts.


Are your managers effective coaches? Find out with On.Board's powerful reporting!
Unlike many mobile learning platforms which focus on content only, On.Board is based on Prosell's heritage in learning and performance coaching. It improves role readiness and employee engagement by ensuring learners are supported by and connected to the people who can best develop them.
The development team have been busy and recently launched some advanced reporting features! These reports provide higher visibility on the progress of learners, but also the performance of local leaders and overall performance of programs which can be especially beneficial when you are managing programs for a high volume of employees across widespread geographical locations.
We all know that it is important for us to evaluate our programs. Many digital learning platforms provide summary reports of overall learner progress and performance, however On.Board's reporting feature goes beyond this. For the first time users can assess the quality of coaching conversations and identify how quick managers are to support their employees.
Imagine if you were to review the progress of your learners and see that a few are not doing so well. Is that level of performance down to the learner's low commitment or a manager's lack of support?
Now imagine if you could see the level and quality of support provided by the local leader and provide them with direct feedback on their coaching skills?
This can be easily done using three unique reports. They are the Hub overview, Activities by Approver and Comments report. Using these you can identify the time lag between when an activity was submitted and when it was approved, as well as the quality of the feedback given and number of words used, helping you to measure accountability.
Program overview: a high-level summary of each program, showing the number of activities completed and participants in each.
Activity overview: a summary enabling you to see overall progress activity by activity. Use this report to track the "flow" through programs or identify content bottlenecks.
Learner overview: show progress of each learner and includes information on when On.Board was last accessed and who is in their Performance Hub.
Hub overview: a summary showing the numbers of activities approved and yet to be approved by local leaders. This helps identify any latency in the performance hub. It also shows the numbers of comments made and the average numbers of words written as feedback.
Activities by approver: a detailed report showing timestamp information on when activities are completed and approved. Great for when you need to investigate how much lag time there is in the Performance Hub.
Activities by learner: a detailed report showing each learner's progress. Any lag between finishing an activity and having them signed off will also be displayed here. Activity scores are shown here as are the number of comments the learner and others in the Performance Hub have left.
Quiz reports: a summary report listing each learner's attempt at each quiz. For each submitted quiz, the learner's score and whether the learner has attained the pass mark is displayed.
Form detail: a detailed report listing each learner's response to each refection form question. This report can be used to conduct your own program evaluations, satisfaction surveys, competence assessments etc.
Two-part form detail: similar to 'form detail', except this report contains responses from both the learner and the approver. This report can be used to monitor the quality of guided feedback that approvers are giving to their learners.
Comments: a detailed report listing comments left for each participant. This enables you to see the quality of coaching conversations participants are having within their performance hub.
How can you view this data?
All this data can be viewed on screen by administrators. From there you can use the filtering feature to pull out specific data. Alternatively, for added flexibility data extracts can also be downloaded and input to an LMS, SQL or visualization/business intelligence software, making it easier to identify and analyze patterns.
How could this data be used?
These reports could be used by Local leaders to see the progress of their teams.
It can be used by administrators to identify weaknesses to be addressed and strengths to be exploited.
It can also be used by top level leaders to assess the performance of their local leaders. For example, you could use the data to reward the person who has made the greatest contribution to the performance hub.
Easily analyze qualitative data as well as quantitative.
If you would like to find out more about the On.Board reporting feature, get in touch via onboardenquiries@prosell.com and one of our representatives will be in touch. And of course, let us know what you think, we would appreciate your feedback!

Super Meat Boy je americká nezávislá počítačová hra, vyvíjená studiem Team Meat. Hru naprogramoval Tommy Refenes a designoval Edmund McMillen. Hudbu vytvářel herní skladatel Danny Baranowsky. Vývoj hry začal v lednu 2009.

Hráč musí hlavního hrdinu "Meat boye" dostat ke své milované ženě "Bandage Girl". K dispozici má pouze základní typy pohybu – chůzi, běh a skok. Při tom se musí vyhýbat bodákům, ozubeným kolům, soli a jiným nebezpečným předmětům. Po každé smrti se level okamžitě restartuje a hráč musí začít znovu. Pro splnění levlu, je třeba přesné načasování pohybu postavičky. Ve hře je více než 300 levelů, které jsou rozděleny do pěti kapitol. Většinu z nich jde projít za několik desítek sekund. Na konci hry je závěrečný souboj s bossem.
