ART & CULTURE: Bridesmaids: Anatomy of a Hit at the Tyneside
A ray of sunshine penetrated the wintry gloom of the city centre last December when Los Angeles film lecturer, casting director and writer Wendall Thomas visited the Tyneside Cinema to present her one day film masterclass: 'Bridesmaids: Anatomy of a Hit.'
When you think of the Tyneside Cinema you might think of its plush seats, the glorious fact that you can take your glass of wine or chilled beer into the cinema or its beautiful Art Deco décor. What doesn't spring to mind quite so readily is that the Tyneside regularly plays host to a wide range of activities and international guest speakers that support the arts scene in the North East.
Listening to a woman who has hands-on experience of working in the Hollywood film industry was like being an avid baker given an audience with Mary Berry (throw in Paul too and you've got more Hollywood than you can shake a stick at!).
The Roxy Cinema was full of people as eager to learn about 'the three-act structure', 'ensemble comedies versus the hero's journey' and 'universal themes' as I was. We were guided through a recent history of successful international comedies: The Full Monty, The Tall Guy, Notting Hill and Meet the Parents to name just a few. And we learned that it's the universal themes behind these films that mean that they travel – and sell – so well across the world. Notting Hill is 'a dream come true'; Meet the Parents is about the fear commonly experienced when meeting your prospective in-laws; and Bridesmaids? Well Bridesmaids is all about 'What happens when your best friend in all the world announces she's getting married.'
Watching a few minutes of the film and then listening as it was explained in terms of how the story was constructed by a mixture of scenes and sequences was fascinating. To go back to our keen bakers it was like those episodes of The Great British Bake Off where Mary and Paul bake something from scratch and hold your hand as they take you through each stage. Suddenly you find yourself thinking "Sachertorte! What a doddle! I could do that!"
I have written one screenplay so far in my life. It took a year and a half to complete. I used three reams of A4 paper and several cartridges of printer ink to produce something that's just ninety pages long. And that's ninety pages with a lot of white space. What I learned at the Tyneside with Wendell Thomas is that there's a lot more to Sachertorte than meets the eye – It's back to the laptop I go!

ART & CULTURE: Beautiful Burnout at Northern Stage
As soon as I turned the corner I heard it. A bass line that shook the floor and messed with my heartbeat. The room was dark but for the flickering lights that illuminated a small, square stage. While the rest of the nation sat glued to Strictly Come Dancing and the X Factor, I entered a dark and dangerous world. A world of violence, damage, fear and despair.
And what's more, I had paid for the privilege.
The music pulsed through the floor as I made my way down the stairs to my seat. It felt like being twenty-one again, standing on a podium in a packed nightclub. I clutched my respectably small glass of red wine and sat down. A wall of flashing video screens behind the stage bombarded my eyes with images of bodies, numbers and boxing gloves.
For an introductory sequence, this was utterly thrilling.
Beautiful Burnout, written by Bryony Lavery, was brought to Northern Stage by Frantic Assembly and the National Theatre of Scotland last November. I went to see it at the last minute after reading a Facebook message from an old school friend telling me that it was extraordinary. I can't thank her enough for the push.
We all know that television isn't just reality shows. It can be brilliant. Especially when either Sir David Attenborough or Hugh Bonneville are involved. We know, too, that the cinema can leave you open-mouthed – but there is something extraordinary that happens when you are at a theatre.
To see people moving in the harmony that only happens after months of rehearsals, to marvel as they become someone else, someone new and someone real. To watch the words on a page come to life. I knew I was entranced by Beautiful Burnout when I realized, a good half an hour into the play, that the woman on the stage in front of me was not just the downtrodden single mother of an aspiring boxer on the mean streets of Glasgow where the play is set. She was also 'Miss Hooley', the primary school teacher who always wears green and has bobbed hair, from the CBeebies children's show Balamory.
This woman had been in my front room for years, and now here she was, a few feet away from me, dressed in cheap leggings and a baggy grey sweatshirt with her hair scraped back, fighting for her son and considering "the best washing powder to remove sweat – and blood".
For ninety glorious minutes I was transported. I felt afraid, aghast, astonished and amazed. I laughed, I cried and, when it was all over, I stood up by myself and thumped out the loudest applause I could muster.
Stepping out into the freezing cold night air outside the theatre, my mind whirring with the final scenes, the world seemed a little bit brighter, a little more alive than it had two hours before.
Thank you, Northern Stage, for an amazing night. No X Factor required.
GREAT DAYS OUT: Hunting for Dragons in the Deep Dark Wood at Seven Stories
Did you know that the Dark Ages could be found in the Ouseburn Valley? Were you aware that Deadly Dragons and Hairy Hooligans lurked in corridors and nestled in alcoves just waiting to surprise you? Would you have guessed that there was an entire dictionary of 'Dragonese' and that you, yes you, could add to it?
Well it's all waiting to be discovered at Seven Stories, the National Centre for Children's Books, because the charming Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third (he of the Hairy Hooligans tribe) has come to town.
The new exhibition, 'A Viking's Guide to Deadly Dragons', offers a fascinating insight, not just into the much-loved characters of author Cressida Cowell's books, but into her writing – and the publishing – process.
If you are a small visitor to the centre then you can get stuck in and design your own Viking helmet, marvel at the costumed staff members who pass you on the stairs brandishing stuffed dragons and enjoy listening to some Viking story-telling. If, like me, you're that bit bigger then it's a chance to be really quite nosey about how the books that make it onto our children's bookshelves actually get there.
Beautifully detailed preliminary sketches for Cowell's books are framed alongside video interviews with the author as she talks about the remote Scottish island she lived on as a child and that provided her with the inspiration for the wild and bleak landscapes her heroes live in.
Upstairs, the exhibition 'A Squash and a Squeeze: Sharing Stories with Julia Donaldson', reveals that wonderful books like 'The Gruffalo' actually started life, not on some whizzy computer screen, but on the pages of an A4 exercise book like the ones you or I might have at home. Sketches for artwork by the brilliant illustrator Axel Scheffler go through a number of drafts before they're approved and are subject to changes from 'the powers that be' in the publishing world and what is clear is just how much work goes on behind the scenes of creating a children's book.
With one of the best bookshops around, helpful and friendly staff and a brilliant café overlooking the river, Seven Stories is a treasure trove of delights that's just waiting to be explored. And don't worry – Hiccup's Dragon won't bite. He's called Toothless.

TRAVEL: Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
There's just something about a traditional British seaside holiday isn't there? Although you might be hard pushed to find a line of striped deckchairs and a man with a knotted white handkerchief tied on his head, the British seaside offers a plethora of delights for everyone.
Since I can remember my family has decamped to the golden sands and fish and chip scented air of Whitby in North Yorkshire for a week or two every summer and, I'm happy to say, that in that time very little has changed.
Of course the weather can never be guaranteed, the hopeful stocking-up of '3 for 2' sun creams can be a complete waste of money and you always need to pack a woolly jumper but still…
A picture-postcard pretty fishing town, Whitby Harbour is overlooked on the East Cliff by the Gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey and the ancient church of St. Mary.
Over on the West Cliff a pair of whalebones forms an archway leading to an imposing statue of Captain Cook who trained as a seaman in the town before embarking on his epic voyages around the world.
Whitby is a heavenly place if you love food, from the award-winning Magpie fish and chip shop to the vanilla-scented dens of Justin's Original Fudge and Toffee shops on the cobbled streets of Church Street. Expect all thoughts of diets, points and restraint to be forgotten.
Standing in the gardens of the newly restored YMCA on West Cliff you might spot plumes of white smoke emerging from the rooftops in the centre of town. Panic not! The North Yorkshire Moors Railway operates steam trains that run from Whitby through the North Yorkshire Moors to the pretty market town of Pickering, passing through Goatland Station – also known as Hogsmeade Station in the film of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
The beach on Whitby's north harbour runs for nearly three miles down to the beautiful village of Sandsend, where children build sandcastles and launch dinghies onto the freshwater pool on the beach.
This year our trip to Sandsend was quite possibly our most 'typically British' yet. As my sister and I queued to get a pile of fresh crab sandwiches from the brilliant Sandside Café an almighty downpour began. Cue an extended family of wet children, grandparents, aunts and uncles huddled under umbrellas and draped in towels, picnic blankets and groundsheets happily munching fresh crab sandwiches. Alan Bennett would be proud!

GREAT DAYS OUT: Sleep Beneath the Stars
"If you hear two whistles from me in the middle of the night, you'll know it's happening."
We sat on bales of hay in the sunshine, eating a feast of roast lamb and freshly picked salads from the nearby vegetable garden.
"I don't think it will …But if it does, you'll hear it" said Lee, one of the farmers at Christmas Farm.
Looking behind us at the rolling hills of Northumberland it was clear that one of the beautiful Dexter cows in the field was moving considerably more slowly – and looking a lot more rotund – than her friends. A new calf was expected on the farm at any moment.
"They're very sensible," said the other farmer, Beth. "They usually wait until it's all calm and quiet just before dawn and then the action starts."
"If it happens, can we watch?" the kids at the table asked eagerly. Lee laughed, "You can! You never know. I might need you to pull!"
G&S Organics at Christmas Farm in Longframlington hold monthly Farm Focus Dinners and, for the price of your dinner ticket, you can also camp out beneath the stars.
After devouring puddings of home baked ginger cake and fresh cream, we decamped to the other side of the fence and started to pitch our tent. The campsite has a compost loo – which is more fun than it sounds – a fresh water standpipe and apart from that it was just us, a few other guests from the dinner and the occasional swallow, diving out of the great big beautiful skies overhead.
As the only campsite in Northumberland that allows you to build a real fire you can watch as your kids turn completely and happily wild, like the heroes and heroines of a Famous Five story. With hair scented with the delicate scent of wood smoke and armed with a large stick each, we didn't see either of our two for hours as they sat at the bottom of the field and played with Billy and George, the boys who are lucky enough to live on the farm all year round.
Towards evening we heard a chorus of squeaks from the bottom of the field as the latest litter of kittens appeared near the children to play in the long grasses, followed by a parade of ducklings obediently following their mother back to their pen for the night.
The sun sank behind the hills and we put out our fire and crept into our tent, falling fast asleep after a day filled with delicious food, laughter and fresh air. All was silent until a little eight-year-old voice whispered in my ear "Mummy – you will listen for the two whistles won't you? I don't want to miss it!"


If you spent several hours in a given dentist's office, you'd notice that a lot of items are discarded as a matter of habit. These resources may or may not be reusable. Dentists' offices must look at their waste with a careful eye today. There are several ways that they can make use of their available resources. From reusing to recycling items, explore the various ways that offices can alter their waste protocols for the good of the planet.
Plastic is one of the most useful substances in the world, but it degrades at an incredibly slow pace. Take a look around the dentist's office. Instrument bags and patient cover-ups are normally used once and discarded. Use available resources, such as cloth, in order to reduce the waste. Add a laundry system to the dentist's practice so that cloth items covering critical tools and patients can be quickly cleaned and returned to the procedural floor.
Needles and syringes are hazardous-waste products that must be handled with care. In most cases, professionals toss the sharps into a plastic container for discarding purposes. Although this action is necessary in all medical or dental offices, the pickup company can be hired accordingly. Select a sharps, recycling company that has a unique process. Turning the sharps metal into construction materials is possible with the right equipment. Dental offices simply need to research their associated companies with particular detail to resource management.
Although metal fillings are incredibly small items, they add up in volume when a dental office is in business for several years. Save the metal scraps, and use a service to refine dental scrap into usable metal for other applications. Metal is easily melted down, which can be integrated into electronics and other items. Create a small, storage area at the dental office to divide out the fillings by type. This strategy saves you money and helps the planet by reducing the need to mine for more metals.
Don't throw away papers that are from old files. Use a shredding company that recycles the items. The information remains safe, and the landfills don't gain size as quickly as before. Paper shredders will normally visit their clients through mobile services too. There's no need to make a transportation trip on your own time. The shredders perform the work at your office as they recycle the items afterward.
Take a look at the sink in any dental office, and you'll see a stack of swish or rinse cups. They're almost always paper cups that end up in the trash. Although the practice may take time to implement, use small mugs or cups that are washable as an alternative. Allocate time at the end of the day to wash every used cup so that they're ready for tomorrow. The trash will be significantly reduced with fewer cups discarded every hour.
Face shields and lab coats are standard clothing for both dentists and hygienists. In most cases, however, these items are quickly discarded after working with a patient or concluding the workday. Switch to reusable shields and coats so that they can be washed and sterilized instead of merely discarded. You'll save considerable money on supplies when water and cleaning agents are the only tools that you'll need to stay sanitary during the workday.
As recycling processes gain traction, there may be other ways that offices can use their resources. Office administrators should keep an eye out for any new programs that can complement their businesses. With several dentists changing their habits, the world can benefit with less waste and pollution.

Suits made a not-so-subtle nod to Meghan Markle's absence
By Aisha Victoria Deeb 5 months, 2 weeks
Last year, an estimated 18 million people watched what was one of the biggest weddings in history as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared their vows flitted off into the sunset.
But, before there was the Duchess of Sussex, there was Rachel Zane. In order to submerge herself into her new life, Meghan left her 9-season long role on the series Suits.
At the end of the previous season Rachel and her husband Mike Ross moved to Seattle and although fans were not expecting to see her again, there were talks of a little cameo from Mike. Which, is exactly what they got. And, as an ode to her character, her former costars gave a cheeky wink to just how well she's getting on in her new life.
After Mike makes a brief return, lawyer Katrina Bennett, played Amanda Schull, asks Mike how Rachel is doing, he replies: 'Good, in fact, if I told you how good you probably wouldn't believe me.'
Turns out Rachel is doing REALLY well. 😉 #Suits pic.twitter.com/Xt4cofVECd

Severe flooding hits Japan
As heavy rain pummeled Japan for a second straight day, the Kinugawa River broke through a
flood berm, sending a wall of water into Joso, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) northeast of Japan's
Helicopters plucked dozens of residents from the tops of their homes in Japan on Thursday,
but rescue officials said they were unable to keep up with all the pleas for help after raging floodwaters swamped parts of a city north of Tokyo.
National broadcaster NHK showed aerial footage of rescuers lowered from helicopters and clambering
onto second-floor balconies to reach stranded residents. There were no immediate reports of
deaths or injuries.
In one dramatic scene, the rescuer could be seen descending four times from a military helicopter
over a 20-minute period to lift up four people one-by-one, as a deluge of water swept around their
Nearby a man clung to a utility pole as the waters rose, before being taken up by a rescuer who had to be first lowered into the water so he could make his
way over to the man.
Others waved cloths from their decks or roofs to get attention as torrents of water washed away cars and knocked buildings off their foundations. Photos from Japan's Kyodo news service showed people
waiting for help on top of cars and a 7-11 delivery truck, surrounded by water that nearly submerged
the cars.
Kyodo reported that 39 people had been rescued by Japan's Self-Defense Forces, as its military is
called, and rescue work was continuing.
Akira Motokawa, a city evacuation official, told NHK that rescuers have been unable to respond to the
volume of calls for help.
The Transport Ministry estimated that 6,900 households have been affected by the flooding, Kyodo said, adding only about 2,500 of the city's residents had been evacuated beforehand to shelters. The floodwaters reached at least 8
kilometers (5 miles) from the breach.
Tokyo was drenched with rain, but the hardest-hit area was to the north in Ibaraki and Tochigi
prefectures. One woman was missing hours after a landslide hit houses at the foot of a steep, wooded incline. Bullet train service was partially suspended.
The rains came on the heels of Tropical Storm Etau, which caused similar flooding and landslides
Wednesday as it crossed central Japan.
The Fire and Disaster and Management Agency said 15 people were injured by Etau, two seriously, both elderly women who were knocked over by strong winds.

As specialty director, Dr. Phillips helps guide and grow Animal Emergency & Specialty Center, ensuring a standard of care and the selection of specialists that best meet our client's needs. As head oncologist, Jeff takes great pride in being able to serve patients with cancer.
"I treat people's pets as if I was going through the same thing as an owner. If I give it any less effort, I wouldn't be happy, so I try to maintain that level of attention," says Dr. Phillips.
Phillips graduated from Pomona College with a bachelor of science in chemistry in 1992. He then attended Tufts University, completing a combined Ph.D. (Medical Genetics) and DVM program at the Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences and the Veterinary School, respectively. In 2001, Jeff attended NC State University for a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery. In 2002, he began a residency in medical oncology while simultaneously completing his master's in preventative veterinary medicine.
After completing his specialty training in 2005, Phillips accepted a position as an assistant professor of oncology and medical genetics at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. There, he served as director of clinical research from 2009 – 2011 while running the college's medical oncology teaching and clinical program.
In 2011, he accepted a clinical position as head of oncology at the Animal Emergency and Specialty Center, where he has focused on clinical practice. Throughout his career, Dr. Phillips has also upheld the importance of teaching and research. Thus, since 2011, he has also served as the chair of biomedical sciences and associate dean of research at Lincoln Memorial University. In this position, he hopes to continue research for his specialized field, recruit strong faculty members to run an oncology program and create a robust curriculum for budding young veterinarians.
Jeff Phillips, DVM accepted the position of specialty director in 2017.
He lives on a 20-acre farm in Mascot, TN, with his wife, two sons and daughter, nine cats, four dogs, and 18 horses, one of which was a rescue blood donor horse.


Zuora Export ZOQL (Zuora Object Query Language) is the query language you use to create data source exports through the Zuora API. Export ZOQL is more powerful than ZOQL because Export ZOQL queries can select data from related business objects in a single operation.
You can use this method to perform multiple queries or continuously query data.
You can use this method to create an Export object corresponding to a single query. See the Zuora API Reference for more information.
When you write an Export ZOQL query, you must specify the data source to select data from. Each data source provides all your business objects of a particular type. Most data sources also provide related business objects. This saves you the effort of constructing nested queries, and results in better performance.
For example, the Invoice Item data source provides every Invoice Item object in your Zuora tenant, along with related Account, Contact, Invoice, Product, Rate Plan, and Subscription objects. See Data Sources and Objects for a listing of the objects provided by each data source.
InvoiceItem is the API name of the Invoice Item data source.
BillToContact is the API name of a Contact object that is related to an Invoice Item object.
FirstName is the API name of the First Name field in the Contact object.
InvoiceItem is also called the "base" object of the Invoice Item data source. BillToContact is called a "joined" object.
For data sources and objects, refer to the listing in the Data Sources and Objects section, below.
For fields and field values, use the Describe object API operation.
Changes to the "Describe object" API operation were introduced in version 85 of the Zuora WSDL. See Changes to the Describe API for more information.
Prior to version 79 of the Zuora WSDL, some fields in data sources had different values from the corresponding fields in SOAP API objects. See Field Values in Export ZOQL Data Sources for more information.
A maximum of 20,000 characters is allowed in an Export ZOQL query.
Submit a request at Zuora Global Support if you require additional assistance.
We can work with you to determine if large file optimization is an option for you.
The following table lists the objects that are provided by each data source. Objects marked with * depend on Zuora features. See the "Availability of Data Source Objects" section for more information.
Part of the Invoice Settlement feature.
Note: Outside of Export ZOQL queries, the "Describe object" API operation, and Zuora Link, the BillingRun object is called BillRun.
Part of the Credit Balance feature. Deprecated if the Invoice Settlement feature is enabled.
Part of the Custom Foreign Currency Exchange Rates feature.
Deprecated if the Invoice Settlement feature is enabled.
Part of the Order Metrics feature.
Part of the Invoice Item Settlement feature.
Requires Zuora Revenue. Zuora strongly recommends that you only use this data source if the Invoice Settlement feature is enabled.
Additionally, all objects related to Amendments are unavailable if you have the Orders feature enabled.
If you have defined custom fields for an object, your custom fields are available in every data source that provides the object. To specify a custom field in an Export ZOQL query, use the API name that you defined for the custom field.
If you have enabled foreign currency conversion in Zuora, you can include currency conversion data in data source exports. Currency conversion data is available through additional fields in some objects. See Foreign Currency Conversion for Data Source Exports for more information.

International Faculty Perceptions of Departmental Climate and Workplace Satisfaction
Mamiseishvili, K., & Lee, D. (2018). International Faculty Perceptions of Departmental Climate and Workplace Satisfaction. Innovative Higher Education , 43 (5), 323–338.
Although the variability in the definitions and immigration status of international academics makes it challenging to provide the exact number of foreign-born faculty members teaching and conducting research in U.S. postsecondary institutions, all data accounts have pointed to a steady growth in this segment of the professoriate. This study used data from the 2011-2014 Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey to examine international faculty members' satisfaction with autonomy, interactions with colleagues, departmental climate, and recognition and the effect of these elements upon the overall workplace satisfaction of international faculty members relative to their U.S. citizen peers.
This study helps identify factors that can enhance international faculty members' satisfaction in order to aid institutions in their efforts not only to recruit the best talent but also to support and retain such talent.

Climate Change: Creating Space for Interdepartmental Problem Solving at Skidmore College
(2018). Climate Change: Creating Space for Interdepartmental Problem Solving at Skidmore College.
Historically, academic departments at Skidmore College operated with large degrees of autonomy from one another. Groups rarely collaborated, which made it difficult for faculty and administrators to address climate and leadership challenges across divisions. In the absence of a centralized group equipped with the tools and resources needed to address these issues, Skidmore partnered with the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) and conducted the Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey to identify ways to improve departmental climates.
Using Skidmore's survey results as a baseline for their first meeting, the team, which Skidmore leaders dubbed the 'COACHE Collaborators', worked together to identify three areas of departmental climate in need of attention: collegiality, diversity and inclusion, and work-life balance.

Gender Differences in Faculty Member Job Satisfaction: Equity Forestalled?
Webber, K. L., & Rogers, S. M. (2018). Gender Differences in Faculty Member Job Satisfaction: Equity Forestalled? Research in Higher Education , 59, 1-28.
Guided by Hagedorn's (2000) theory of faculty job satisfaction, mindful of social and organizational structures of higher education, and acknowledging recent changes in the academic labor market, this study examines satisfaction for approximately 30,000 tenured and tenure-track faculty members in 100 US colleges and universities. Findings revealed similarity between female and male faculty members in some aspects of work satisfaction, but difference in other areas in which women reported lower satisfaction. Findings also revealed that perceptions of department fit, recognition, work role balance, and mentoring are more important to women faculty's satisfaction than male peers. These findings have implications for policy and practice.

Non-Tenure Track Faculty Satisfaction: A Self-Determination Model
Crick, K. A., Larson, L. M., & Seipel, M. T. (2019). Non-Tenure Track Faculty Satisfaction: A Self-Determination Model. Journal of Career Assessment , 28 (3), 425-445.
Full-time non-tenure track faculty, commonly referred to as NTT faculty, shoulder much of the teaching load within academic institutions. Self-determination theory (SDT) has shown promise as a conceptual frame for characterizing the relationship between environmental support factors and NTT faculty satisfaction. Full-time NTT faculty were sampled nationwide to investigate an SDT-based model positing basic psychological needs (i.e., volitional autonomy and relatedness) as mediators between six environmental support indices and NTT faculty satisfaction. Structural equation model results showed volitional autonomy and relatedness fully mediated the relationships between the six environmental supports and both indices of faculty satisfaction.

Socrates, Thoreau and the Status Quo
Trower, C. (2006). Socrates, Thoreau and the Status Quo. In The New Balancing Act in the Business of Higher Education . Clark, R. L., & D'Ambrosio, M., Eds. Northampton, MA: Edward Elgar.
Universities are structured in a way that makes it almost impossible to deviate from the status quo, and the market gives them little incentive to change. Cathy A. Trower argues for a new model of higher education in which the focus is on inventing the future rather than on maintaining the traditions of the past, tenure decisions are made based on teaching and community involvement as well as research, and shared governance leads to constructive decision-making.

Benchmark Best Practices: Mentoring
(2014). Benchmark Best Practices: Mentoring.
The COACHE surveys of college faculty produce data that are both salient to full-time college faculty and actionable by academic leaders. The survey items are aggregated into 20 benchmarks representing faculty satisfaction. This white paper examines the effectiveness of mentoring within departments, outside departments but at the same institution, and outside the institution.
Mentoring has always been important in the academic workplace. Only in recent years, however, has the practice evolved more widely from incidental to intentional as academic leaders have come to appreciate that mentorship is too valuable to be left to chance.
Many pre-tenure faculty members feel mentoring is essential to their success, but such support is also instrumental for associate professors on their path to promotion. While some institutions rely on the mentor-protégé approach (a senior faculty member formally paired with a junior faculty member), new models encourage mutual mentoring, team mentoring, and strategic collaborations beyond the department.

Benchmark Best Practices: Interdisciplinary Work & Collaboration
(2014). Benchmark Best Practices: Interdisciplinary Work & Collaboration.
The COACHE surveys of college faculty produce data that are both salient to full-time college faculty and actionable by academic leaders. The survey items are aggregated into 20 benchmarks representing faculty satisfaction. This white paper examines collaboration—within departments, outside of departments but at the same institution, and outside the institution—and attitudes toward interdisciplinary work.
While interest in interdisciplinary work has increased, and this type of work attracts many graduate students and early-career faculty, the academy has not yet fully embraced interdisciplinary work. Unchanged policies, structures and cultures are institutional disincentives, as they are still best-suited to narrower work within disciplines. This includes publication vehicles, multiple authors, peer review, and reward structures.
Benchmark Best Practices: Department Engagement, Quality, and Collegiality
(2014). Benchmark Best Practices: Department Engagement, Quality, and Collegiality.
The COACHE surveys of college faculty produce data that are both salient to full-time college faculty and actionable by academic leaders. The survey items are aggregated into 20 benchmarks representing faculty satisfaction. This white paper discusses departmental engagement, quality, and collegiality.
Departmental quality is a function of the intellectual vitality of faculty, the scholarship that is produced, the effectiveness of teaching, how well the department recruits and retains excellent faculty, and whether and how poor faculty performance is handled. While many factors comprise faculty members' sense of departmental collegiality, COACHE has discovered that faculty are especially cognizant of their "fit" among their colleagues, their personal interactions with colleagues, whether their colleagues "pitch in" when needed, and colleague support for work/life balance. There is no substitute for a collegial department when it comes to faculty satisfaction, and campus leaders—both faculty and administrators—can create opportunities for better informal engagement.

My Depression Is Always Trying To Kill Me – Vince Grant REVIEW
By ABE NOORZAY
He's a nomad. A man without permanence. Always moving to the next thing. After spending the first years of his musical trek traveling between Los Angeles and Chicago and Los Angeles and New York, and constantly touring and gigging for different bands, it got to him.
Drugs and alcohol derailed the artist and he was on hiatus. Depression took over and it just got worse, but he is back now and he turned his illness into his muse. Vince Grant's My Depression Is Always Trying To Kill Me is a five-song EP where he let's us inside his mind and tries to project what dealing with addiction and depression is like.
The album is produced, engineered, and mixed by Doug Grean who was formerly with The Scott Weiland Band. Though Grant's lyrics are extremely deep and meaningful, his music sounds like nothing more than generic rock. Each song sounds like the other and it really doesn't feel like he has an original sound. I really understood what he had to say, I just wish the music was better behind it. "Melancholia" was the first single off the EP and it was probably the toughest to listen to. It's just not an easy album to listen to in general.
Grant also released a music video for the second track off the album, "Oceans II," that can be found below. Produced by Alex Nasonov, the video was simple, but a good simple. It was just Vince and his guitar with a black and white filter. What's more rock and roll that a man, his leather jacket, and his guitar? Grant's expressions in the video really bring his emotions to life; the music video was very well made.
Overall, the EP is one I don't think I'd listen to again. Though his lyrics are well thought out and they raise awareness to a serious disease that is no joke, I just can't get over how average the sound is.

Study Compares Type 1 Diabetes Insulin Regimens
Long-acting versions may beat intermediate-acting forms of the medicine for safety, effectiveness
By EJ Mundell
FRIDAY, Oct. 3, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- For people with type 1 diabetes, long-acting insulin may be a better treatment choice than intermediate-acting insulin, a new review of the data suggests.
"Different types of insulin are used to manage type 1 diabetes with insulin injections," explained one expert not connected to the new study, Dr. Spyros Mezitis.
Long-acting insulin takes about one hour to begin lowering blood sugar levels and lasts up to 26 hours, while intermediate-acting insulin takes one to three hours to begin lowering blood sugar levels and lasts up to 16 hours.
However, while the current study found in favor of long-acting insulin formulations, "larger head-to-head studies comparing the long-acting insulins available will be helpful for physicians to make the best patient-management decisions," said Mezitis, an endocrinologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
In the new review, researchers led by Dr. Andrea Tricco of St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto analyzed data from 39 studies. The studies compared once- and twice-daily doses of the long-acting and intermediate-acting insulin and concluded that the long-acting version was safer and more effective.
"In patients with type 1 diabetes, we found that long-acting insulin is superior to intermediate-acting insulin when it came to controlling blood sugar, preventing weight gain and treating severe hypoglycemia," Tricco said in a hospital news release.
Compared to intermediate-acting insulin, long-acting insulin significantly improved hemoglobin A1C levels, a standard blood test measure of blood sugar control.
"Those taking intermediate-acting insulin were more likely to gain weight," said Tricco, who is assistant professor in the University of Toronto's School of Public Health. "They gained an average of four to six pounds more than the participants who took most long-acting insulin doses."
The researchers also found that people with type 1 diabetes who took long-acting insulin were 38 percent less likely to develop extremely low blood sugar (severe hypoglycemia) than those who took intermediate-acting insulin.
"With this information, patients and their doctors should tailor their choice of insulin according to preference, cost and accessibility," Tricco said in the news release.
Mezitis believes that "the practicing physician should consider this data when tailoring an effective insulin regimen for a type 1 diabetic patient." He added that certain brands of long-acting insulin also deliver the medication via a pen, which is more user-friendly for patients.
Another expert in type 1 diabetes said she wasn't surprised by the Toronto team's findings.
"The conclusions posed by the authors echoes what happens in the real world in the U.S.," said Virginia Peragallo-Dittko, a registered nurse and executive director of the Diabetes and Obesity Institute at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y.
"Providers match the insulin choice to the patient's needs," she explained. "Those needs include the insulin action that best matches the patient's blood glucose patterns, lifestyle considerations -- including number of injections required and the choice of insulin pen versus syringe -- plus financial considerations including insurance reimbursement, co-pays or out-of-pocket expense."
The findings were published Oct. 1 in the BMJ.

Djimon Gaston Hounsou , Cotonou, Benin
Write a Short Comment500
Post to MoovieLive
Djimon Diaw Hounsou ( born April 24, 1964) is a Beninese actor and model. As an actor, Hounsou has been nominated for two Academy Awards.
In 1989 he appeared in a music video of Straight Up by Paula Abdul. Hounsou's film debut was in the 1990 Sandra Bernhard film Without You I'm Nothing, and he has had television parts on Beverly Hills, 90210 and ER and a guest starring role on Alias, but received a larger role in the science fiction film Stargate. His first on-screen appearance was in the 1990 Janet Jackson video "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" from Rhythm Nation 1814, which co-starred Antonio Sabàto, Jr. He also starred in a 2002 Gap commercial directed by Peter Lindbergh, dancing to a rendition of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" by Arrested Development's Baba Oje.
He received wide critical acclaim and a Golden Globe Award nomination for his role as Cinqué in the 1997 Steven Spielberg film Amistad. He gained further notice as Juba, in the 2000 film Gladiator. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, for In America, in 2004, becoming the fourth African male to be nominated for an Oscar (along with Basil Rathbone, Cecil Kellaway and Omar Sharif). That same year, Charlize Theron, a South African actress, was nominated for Best Actress and won for her work in Monster, and was the first time that one African man and one African woman were nominated for an Oscar in the same year. In 2006, he won the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Blood Diamond; he received Broadcast Film Critics Association, Screen Actors Guild Award, and Academy Award nominations for this performance.
On February 24, 2007, it was announced that Hounsou would be the new Calvin Klein underwear model. Starting with the Fall 2007 season, he was featured in the brand's global print advertising campaign including the launch of their new Calvin Klein Steel product line.
Hounsou also acted in a supporting role in the 2009 science fiction film Push, as Agent Henry Carver.
In 2010, Hounsou was featured as the narrator in ESPN's running series of "32 teams, 1 dream" commercials for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Director Tim Story recently mentioned to IGN that if he was to do a third Fantastic Four movie, he would like to have Hounsou as the Black Panther. In November 2008, it was announced that Hounsou will be providing the voice of the Black Panther in the upcoming animated series of the same name. David Jaffe, Game Director of God of War, expressed interest in seeing Hounsou portray the hero and main character, Kratos, in a possible upcoming movie based on the hit video game of the same name.[citation needed] However, it is believed that plans for the movie have been scrapped because nothing has been said of the movie since 2005.[citation needed] He has signed on to play Abdiel in the film version of John Milton's Paradise Lost with Benjamin Walker and Bradley Cooper.

It's been a little while since we've spotlighted our work on the blog -- which makes it the perfect time to tell you a little about Motown Memories, a fundraising event to benefit Rise & Shine (if you haven't heard of Rise & Shine, check out this post).
We've done a number of projects for them in the past -- including a colorful anniversary campaign -- but our latest project has a whole different feel. Rise & Shine was looking for an upbeat design that would fit in with the colors and style of the Motown era.
We started by putting together a moodboard to make sure we were evoking the right feel.
After the Rise & Shine team signed off on the moodboard, we dove right in and designed a coordinating poster and e-vite. Take a peak at our work below, or give them a call at 828-883-2295, ext. 15 to purchase tickets to the event.

If you live in the Brevard or Asheville area we encourage you to attend Motown Memories and see what Rise & Shine is all about!

The Skinny Wallet Diet is financial planning for the average person. Most people don't need a stockbroker or expensive financial advisor... they need to know how to start saving and spending responsibly. With 10 years of experience Mary Edwards is the perfect person to help you do that.
That's where we come in -- when Mary Edwards was looking for a new website to take The Skinny Wallet Diet to the next level we were ready to jump into action. Most of the Skinny Wallet Diet's clients are female -- so we knew we could pull in some fun, girly colors. We started with different shades of pinks and toned them down to keep them from looking goofy (this is finance after all).
As The Skinny Wallet continues to develop we wanted to set Mary up with a site that would draw potential clients in, but would also be easy to update in the future.
Our favorite thing about this site is the unconventional color scheme -- it's the perfect blend of serious and creative. We can't wait to see The Skinny Wallet use their new website continue to grow!
Want a regular little dose of the Skinny Wallet? Follow their brand new account on Twitter at @theskinnywallet.
We know, we know -- we've highlighted Rise & Shine before… but when your clients just keep doing great work, it never gets old showing it off.
Throughout 2016, Rise & Shine has been hosting a series of events to celebrate and raise awareness for their organization. An afterschool program with a mission of promoting racial justice and equality, we loved being able to collaborate on collateral that's helping drive their mission forward.
All of our work for Rise & Shine features bright colors, eye-catching layouts, and vibrant photography of the program participants. We work to keep the focus on the facts and figures that demonstrate the program's efficacy, as well as highlight the organization's values.
Take a look at the colorful collateral below!
Below, starting clockwise at top left: One-page infographic (front + back), homepage web slider, event program, Facebook graphics, and bookmark.
Working with non-profits is a passion of ours, and we're always eager to dive into a new partnership. If your organization's marketing needs a boost, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
When a great organization does great things, there's nothing better than being a part of it. Our previous client, Rise & Shine, recently reached out as they prepared to celebrate their 20th Anniversary -- and we couldn't wait to be get involved.
Rise & Shine, an afterschool program committed to promoting racial justice and equality, was looking for a fun and energetic logo to represent their 20 Years campaign. You may remember one of our previous projects for Rise & Shine -- a timeless print piece that would appeal to a wide variety of audiences.
We'll be posting flyer designs + bookmarks + ads + more when the project is complete -- but for now keep an eye on Rise & Shine's Facebook page to stay in the loop on their 20-year anniversary celebration.
When we were approached by Tawney Weir, the creative force behind Little Toro Designs, we were immediately inspired by her southwestern flair. This owner + maker + designer was looking for a place to not only showcase her product, but also Little Toro's modern desert aesthetic.
As a business owner, there's nothing better than working with someone who is equally passionate about their craft. After our first short conversation, it was clear that Tawney's work was both inspired and sustained by the unique blend of cultures around her.
Click the image to see the site live!
Who Little Toro Is: Metalsmith jewelry handcrafted in Tucson, AZ. Inspired by the nature and culture of the southwestern desert.
What They Needed: A clean + modern website that embodies Little Toro's desert chic style without distracting from the product.
What We Delivered: A customized Squarespace site with e-commerce capabilities. By highlighting Little Toro's beautiful editorial photography (by Puspa Lohmeyer Photography) we were able to not only keep the product front and center, but also capture the essence of the brand.
The takeaway? When inspired editorial photography meets clean web design, e-commerce magic happens.
If you feel like your website could use a refresh, get in touch -- we'd love to do a free assessment of your current website!
Reclaimed Lumber and Beams is a fun client to work with because, quite frankly, I want to personally purchase almost everything they sell. Partnering with this business on social & design projects means looking through photo after photo of gorgeous, hand-crafted wooden furniture and home installations.
Today's Client Spotlight is a look at the warm, visual social presence we've created for RLB.
Who They Are: A North Carolina-based business with a big national footprint, integrating reclaimed wood/antique lumber from the Appalachian mountains into residential and commercial construction (think: everything from rustic mantles, doors and tables to barnwood siding and flooring).
What They Needed: RLB draws clients from all over the U.S., so they needed social that could reach wide and convert to sales, while still maintaining a personal, small-business feel.
What We Delivered: The Reclaimed Lumber and Beams Facebook page is warm, conversational, and heavy on photography -- giving potential customers a glimpse of the wide variety of projects RLB could create for their home, office, or venue. Q&As and behind-the-scenes content keep followers engaged, and links drive them back to the RLB website. This is retail, but it's not big-box -- projects are personalized and driven by the customer. Glimpses of previous projects get those ideas moving for soon-to-be clients.
The takeaway? Every business has a personality, and its social presence should match up with it. A cool, detached tone works for some businesses, but that's not the personality RLB needed to project online.
What personality are you cultivating for your business or organization on social media? If you have questions, I'd love to talk.
I've mentioned our work for Revolution Mill, a historic redevelopment site in Greensboro offering office and event space, a restaurant and (soon) residential. Here's a look at the print and web collateral we created for Creating Community Week, a series of events aimed at sharing the vision of Revolution Mill with the public.
The design needed some visual and textual continuity, which is why we developed the seal-style logo you see here.
A consistent (but not rigid) color scheme of red and teal adds to the continuity between each piece.
The look here is consistent but not uniform, as the audience for each event varied -- from residents of the surrounding neighborhood to creatives/ad agencies to CEOs and community officials.
Let us know what you think! We'll be back tomorrow with a few links to end the week.
While I spend a lot of time working on branding (and accompanying collateral) for businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations, I also really enjoy developing branding, logos, resumes and websites for individuals.
This week's Client Spotlight (a first for the Hue & Tone blog!) shows what we created for Meghan, a young professional whose career transition required a branding about-face.
Who She Is: A twenty-something working in journalism -- and searching for a role outside that field.
What She Needed: The resume Meghan had been using was colorful, bold, and nontraditional. It worked just fine in her creative field, but was too much for many of the companies and organizations on her "to apply" list. She needed something that was clean and conservative -- without looking like a resume template.
What We Delivered: Meghan's new resume features muted colors, clean typefaces, and simple lines. The result is a look that's appropriate for any industry, while still standing out from the rest of the stack. I'm happy to report that it helped her land her dream job in government.
The takeaway? It's easy to think, especially if you work in a creative industry, that colors and branding in general are off-limits. That's not the case. Making strategic decisions about branding, informed by your knowledge of the industry you're targeting, will help you achieve your career goals. I've seen it happen time and time again!
What decisions have you made about your personal brand? Does it serve your goals & purpose? If you're not sure, let's connect.
Things are moving quickly here at Hue & Tone, and I'll have updates on a few new projects to share soon! For now, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite projects from the past.
Laura, the owner of an accessories-based boutique startup, came to me wanting branding (web and print) that matched her stylish, edgy aesthetic. The project gave me a chance to wade into a little bit of everything, from an Etsy-integrated website to print collateral. We wove all of that together with a colorful, geometric design that was cohesive, appealing, and fun.
I LOVE creating resumes and other personal branding materials for clients. It's an opportunity to get to know someone and figure out how to communicate their strengths; plus, every industry is different so the design options vary. I've done bright, punchy colors for an actress; neat, modular blocks for a PR rep, clean and simple for an architect, and a little of everything else, too.
Creating this ten-minute documentary on sustainability and 21st-century marketing was the best opportunity. It gave me the chance to edit, assign, build a story and really summarize a complicated issue in a fast-paced, visually appealing way. I love projects that allow me use my skills in communication to create a compelling message.
We just completed the design of this evergreen one page for Rise & Shine, an afterschool program committed to promoting racial justice and equality. This was an especially fun project for us, because we love working with small non-profits to find creative, cost effective solutions. Our goal here was to create a print piece that would be timeless and appeal to a wide variety of audiences.

Got Charts? Creed Vs. Pearl Jam, Shakira's Machisma, Kid Rock's Curse
A weekly tale of the tape for the statistically obsessed.
archive-David-Basham 11/29/2001
If you're a real chart geek, we invite you to tune in Friday night at 5 p.m. ET for "Bangin' the Charts," MTV News' weekly, in-depth look at what's charting where and why. Check out the Bangin' Web page for more info.
In this week's chart and sales analysis, we arbitrarily settle a few sales scores between Pearl Jam and Creed, and we size up Shakira's crossover success against the likes of Latin pop stars Marc Anthony and Enrique Iglesias. We finish up with a little fun exploring a fictional musical curse with the help of Kid Rock, Puff Daddy and the Spice Girls.
Creed And Pearl Jam: The Doppelganger Effect
With the release of Creed's third album, Weathered, perhaps it's time to say "Enough!" to the Pearl Jam comparisons. You know the groups would like to. Unfortunately, the sales figures won't let us — even though that may all change in the next few months.
Though Creed have been accused of being little more than Pearl Jam's radio-friendly doppelganger since their emergence in the late '90s, the Tallahassee band's chart-topping debut on next week's Billboard 200 (see"Scott Stapp Called It: Creed's Weathered Makes Big Debut At #1") will mark a significant transitional moment in their relationship.
Weathered stormed the #1 spot by selling more than 887,000 copies in its first week in stores, according to SoundScan — sales figures that are practically identical to those put up by the Seattle proto-grungers seven years ago with the release of their own third album, Vitalogy.
When Pearl Jam issued Vitalogy on CD and cassette formats in December 1994, the album soared straight to #1 on the strength of 877,000 copies sold and became Pearl Jam's second consecutive album to top the charts. (The self-avowed vinyl enthusiasts had released the LP version of Vitalogy two weeks earlier than the CD/cassette versions. The album found enough turntables to spin over 40,000 copies and entered the Billboard 200 at #55 based on vinyl-only sales.)
While the chart and sales numbers for Vitalogy and Weathered are surprisingly similar, the career crossroads at which Creed and Pearl Jam find (or found) themselves at upon the release of their respective third albums could hardly be more different.
For Pearl Jam, as impressive as Vitalogy's debut had been, it was nevertheless a slight dip from the then-record-setting 950,000 copies the band had sold of its second album, Vs., in October 1993. Vs. spent five weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 and has gone on to sell more than 5.75 million copies to date, itself a sizable decrease from the 8.75 million copies sold of Pearl Jam's 1991 debut, Ten.
Vitalogy spent only one week at #1, and Pearl Jam's third album was a relatively quick chart casualty following the seasonal push that continued to boost sales through January 1995. In the end, Vitalogy logged a mere 15 weeks in the top 20 and 48 total weeks in the Billboard 200 on its way to tallying 4.60 million in sales.
Of course, the release of Vitalogy found Pearl Jam at their fan-unfriendliest. The band was still embroiled in a bitter dispute with Ticketmaster, a fight that kept Eddie Vedder and his bandmates away from the road and their adoring public for long stretches of time. The group also had all but abandoned the traditional means of promoting itself or its work, i.e. radio singles, music videos or press interviews.
Though Pearl Jam would eventually make their peace with Ticketmaster, radio programmers and the media at large, the damage had already been done on the commercial front. None of the group's subsequent studio releases — 1996's No Code (1.36 million copies sold to date), 1998's Yield (1.52 million) and last year's Binaural (700,000) — have managed to breathe the same multi-platinum air of Pearl Jam's first three records.
With Weathered, Creed find themselves in the midst of a career-defining sales swell, as they have more than doubled the first-week numbers posted by their previous album, Human Clay,. Creed molded that record into the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 in October 1999 after the album sold more than 315,000 copies out of the gate.
Creed's total album sales have also ballooned in a relatively short time. The Floridians' 1997 debut, My Own Prison, has sold some 5.63 million copies, while Human Clay recently surpassed the 10.2 million mark, according to SoundScan. Human Clay also spent a staggering 99 of 104 total weeks in the upper half of the Billboard 200 albums chart and continues to sell at a pace of more than 10,000 copies a week — so don't expect Weathered to take the same sort of mercurial fall down the charts that undercut Pearl Jam's Vitalogy.
If Creed can keep the internal strife to a minimum while continuing to tour and release singles (and videos), then the band is all but assured of establishing its commercial legacy as decidedly different — if not altogether bigger — than that of Pearl Jam.
Shakira Airs Her English-Language Laundry
Colombian pop siren Shakira is taking American audiences to the cleaners with her first cross-lingual album, Laundry Service.
Fueled by the English-language hit, "Whenever, Wherever," Shakira's Service debuted at #3 on this week's Billboard 200 and has already sold more than 344,000 copies in just two weeks in stores. That's none too shabby considering that the 24-year-old's last Spanish-language studio album, Dónde Están Los Ladrones?, has sold a respectable 710,000 copies since its September 1998 release.
Shakira's sales figures also fare reasonably well when compared to those posted by the macho Latin trio of Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias and Marc Anthony — each of whom has successfully cultivated English language audiences with his own respective "crossover" releases in recent years.
After entering the Billboard 200 albums chart at #8 in October 1999, Marc Anthony managed to sell 203,000 copies of his self-titled English-language debut during its first two weeks in release. The album has gone on to sell some 2.85 million copies to date in the U.S., according to SoundScan.
Contra La Corriente, Anthony's last Spanish-language effort prior to making the crossover move, has tallied 397,000 in Stateside sales since its October 1997 release. Libre, Anthony's new Spanish-language album, sold 52,000 copies last week and will enter the next Billboard 200 at #57.
Enrique Iglesias, who has already sold more than 805,000 copies of his new disc, Escape, actually posted rather modest numbers when his first English-language record, Enrique, debuted in November 1999. In comparison with Shakira's hefty sales figures, Enrique barely cracked the top 50 during its first week on the Billboard 200 by debuting at #42.
Enrique moved 150,000 copies during its first two weeks in stores, although it would eventually go on to sell more than 1.83 million copies total, thanks in large part to the hit single, "Bailamos." Iglesias' last Spanish-language album, 1998's Cosas Del Amor, has done about as well as Anthony's Contra La Corriente by selling some 388,000 copies to date in America.
Of course, Ricky Martin remains king when it comes to crossing over. The former Menudo singer and "General Hospital" soap stud has sold more than 6.86 million copies so far of his self-titled first English-language album, which debuted at #1 in May 1999 after selling some 660,000 copies.
In its first two weeks in stores, Ricky Martin rolled the R's of over 1.11 million buyers, selling 260,000 more copies than the singer's previous Spanish-language album, Vuelve, has registered since its release in February 1998. Martin's second English album, Sound Loaded, has been less of a scorcher, mustering only 1.62 million in sales to date, and is likely to be bested by Iglesias' Escape by the end of this year's holiday period.
Kid Rock And The Curse Of 'Forever'
Kid Rock's Cocky is selling shockingly rockily.
The long-awaited studio follow-up to Kid Rock's 1998 breakthrough, Devil Without a Cause, will make a surprisingly limp debut on the Billboard 200 next week. Cocky sold some 222,000 copies during its first week of release and will enter the albums chart at #7, just ahead of Pink's new record, Missundazstood.
The chart showing might normally be enough to get the Kid's rocks off, sales-wise, but not when you consider that his last album, the compilation The History of Rock, sold more than 456,000 copies to debut at #2 on the Billboard 200 in June 2000. Even in its second week on shelves, The History of Rock outdid Cocky's debut, with 247,000 units sold. Cocky will be hard pressed to meet that amount next week, despite the post-Thanksgiving seasonal surge.
The reason for Rock's hardened album sales? Well, we're not sure, but we're willing to go way out on a limb (and fan a little musical superstition) and blame it on something we refer to as the curse of "forever."
Since 1999, both the Spice Girls and Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/Sean Combs adopted the word "forever" for use as album titles, and both times brought on varying degrees of bad luck.
After selling more than 5 million copies of his 1997 debut, No Way Out, Combs issued his second solo effort, boldly entitled Forever, in August 1999. Even though the record has sold more than 1.38 million copies to date, Combs' first-week thunder was jacked by none other than Christina Aguilera, whose self-titled debut sold 252,000 copies to enter the Billboard 200 at #1, just ahead of Forever at #2 (with 205,000 copies sold).
If the "forever" curse was mildly annoying to Combs, it was a downright hex for the Spice Girls, who at one point during the mid-'90s were widely regarded as Britain's most popular musical import to the States. As a quintet, the Spice Girls have tallied more than 11 million albums in the U.S. between their first two releases, 1996's Spice (7.31 million) and 1997's Spiceworld (4.10 million).
But after Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell walked out on the Girls in May 1998, the remaining four Spices opted to test the solo waters for a spell before reforming for a third, Geri-less album which they christened Forever and issued on Election Day last year. The curse struck once again, and the Spice Girls album was vanquished from the Billboard 200 chart in less than two months. To date, the Spice Girls' Forever has only sold a tragic 197,000 copies.
While the curse seems to have been limited to album titles, we're hypothesizing and postulating that Kid Rock's decision to issue a track called "Forever" as Cocky's lead single has unfortunately brought on some harsh rock and roll mojo.
Of course, we could be wrong — Wu-Tang Forever was a hit in 1997 — but as a music-minded public safety announcement, we're encouraging all artists to stay away from the word "Forever" in all of their album titles and lead singles. It can only help.
[In SoundScan we trust. All figures, unless otherwise noted, are according to SoundScan's audited sales numbers and reflect sales as of press time.]

Love your gorgeous design and you detail is just fabulous!
Beautiful pocket card, lovely design. Gorgeous papers, and that image is adorable.
Thanks for joining us at SFTW this week. Good luck!
Oh, this is a beautiful wallet card! I love the papers and the cute Tilda image you used. She looks just perfect and she is beautifully coloured, doesn't need her wings at all. ;) I'm thinking about buying a sewing machine, too, but I'll need some practice, your stitching is fab.
BTW your stitching looks pretty good to me!
Ooh Shell I love your pockets on your "pocket card" and these papers are mega delish. Tolda is coloured to perfection and your stitching is a fabulous detail.

Oh Michelle, you've done a beautiful job on this pocket card, the whole layout is fabulous and your coloring is spot on. Looks like you're having fun with your sewing machine, and the inside is so adorable, I love the half circle pockets you've created, what a unique idea.
I'm so pleased you managed to get a sewing machine, although I'm always nervous sewing on my favourite, precious papers lol!

Q: Google Sheets Scripts - send an email based on a cell being today's date I've looked all over, but I can't seem to piece the code together from all the different answers out there.
I have 4 columns that are populated by the following:
Date Processed, Email, Name, Removal Date
What I'd like to do is send an email to a static email address, including the email address that needs to be removed when cells in the "Removal Date" column equal today's date. I also need this to run once per day.
I've figured out the daily running with the triggers.
I've pasted the code below that I'm trying to run.
My thought was to put the data into an array, evaluate the 4th column for the dates. Then when the date is today, it returns the entire row so I can use the email listed from the 2nd column.
function SendEmail()
{
  var presentDay = new Date();
  var rows = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getDataRange().getValues();
  var filteredEmails = rows.filter(function(row)
  {
    var removalDate = row[4];
    if (removalDate === Date)
    {
      return row
    }
  })

  Logger.log(filteredEmails);

  var emailAddress = "staticEmail@gmail.com";
  var message = ' needs to be removed';
  var subject = 'Member needs to be removed';

        //MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, row[2] + message);

}

A: Try something like this:
function sendEmails() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const sh = ss.getSheetByName('Emails';
  const sr = 2; //data start row
  const dt = new Date();
  const tdv = new Date(dt.getFullYear(),dt.getMonth(),dt.getDate()).valueOf();
  const vs = sh.getRange(sr, 1, sh.getLastRow() - sr + 1, sh.getLastColumn()).getValues();
  const fvs = vs.filter(r => {
    let d = new Date(r[4]);
    let dv = new Date(d.getFullYear(),d.getMonth(),d.getDate()).valueOf()
    return dv == tdv;
  });
  fvs.forEach(r => {});//send emails with this loop
}

If you wish to compare dates numerically then you must use valueOf() or getTime();

HTC India has now sent out some media launch invites for the next device from the company. The company is expected to launch the HTC 10 device at that event which is scheduled to happen on 26th May.
If we take a look at the media launch invite, it doesn't say anything just a single line, "Save the date" which is written in a very stylish font in this media launch invite. Another thing that is written is the date 25.05.2016 which is the launch date for HTC 10 smartphone in India. The invite is having a very colored elephant in background. The company has already promised that they will be releasing Android N update to the HTC 10 smartphone whenever it will be available.
