Like it or not, mobile is the wave of the future. As each year goes by, a larger and larger percentage of people surfing the web are doing it on a smartphone. This further enhances the need for every author to have a mobile-friendly design.
But, apparently, having a functional mobile version of your author website can now even impact your desktop users. How? Google.
Here are some common questions about this change.
The truth is that this change will impact nearly everyone. Forrester Research estimates that a whopping 38% of web sites for businesses with 1,000 or more employees don't meet Google's criteria for being mobile-friendly. That number is expected to be much higher for small businesses — let alone individual authors.
Also, if your author website is more than a few years old, it's likely not to be considered up to snuff.
The change is simple to explain, but may have devastating results. If your site is not mobile friendly, you are likely to start appearing lower on a user's search results. In other words, if you wrote a book on divorce, and your site had been showing up near the top for a search term related to divorce, you very well may lose that placement to sites that are more mobile-friendly.
How can I tell if my site is mobile-friendly?
Whether or not a user would rate a site as mobile-friendly may be relative, but that's irrelevent. Because all that matters here is whether Google finds your site mobile-friendly. So use their mobile-friendly test. You'll get a quick and simple answer.
How can I make my site more mobile-friendly?
There's no easy answer to that question. It depends greatly on how your site is built, when it was built, what platform it was built on, etc… It could involve a few simple and quick fixes, or you may be better off with a complete redesign.
But if you're interested in making your site more mobile friendly, contact us at Smart Author Sites. We'll help you make sure you stay near the top of search results.

Clara Fraese Is Itching to Tell All of British Columbia the Good News About Our Engineered Wood Products
July 18, 2022 in Meet Our People - #wood products #peopledevelopment #Great Community Support #GreatPlaceToWork #parallam #uproot and replant #vancouver #ELP #GreatCustomerFocus #CustomerFocus
Clara has volunteered with the Vancouver Farmers Market since 2020. She says Weyerhaeuser's Citizenship value has been a motivating factor in her drive to volunteer.
Take a walk around the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, and you'll see a growing number of large timber buildings reaching for the sky. Many of them are made using our own engineered wood products, a fact that makes territory manager Clara Fraese especially proud.
"How cool is it that we're able to produce this incredibly strong, high-performing material from smaller, often less-desirable pieces of wood?" Clara says. "As soon as I heard of Parallam®, I wanted to be a part of that process."
Clara joined the company in 2017 as a documentation specialist and training coordinator at our Parallam plant in Vancouver, getting a firsthand look at the manufacturing side of the business.
She was fascinated by the way the manufacturing process for Parallam makes efficient use of raw materials, and she became increasingly intrigued by its many potential applications. In February 2021 she took on the territory manager role, which has allowed her to expand her knowledge and bring her enthusiasm for our products straight to our customers.
"I get to talk to people about my passion and provide solutions for the entire build process from the floor system to the software," Clara says. "No other company offers that. I still have a lot to learn, but this change has motivated me to keep growing, and I'm proud to represent Weyerhaeuser in our region."

BUILDING A FOUNDATION OF INSIDE KNOWLEDGE
Clara received her bachelor of science degree in wood products processing at the University of British Columbia and started her career at Weyerhaeuser right after graduating.
"The company's focus on sustainability drew me in, because it's important in my personal life as well," Clara says. "Our goals and actions are constantly evolving to address dynamic needs and conditions, like the new 3 by 30 positive impact areas. I feel very inspired and excited to be a part of that."
Clara took on a variety of positions during her time at our Vancouver Parallam plant, including assistant production scheduler, gaining a broad perspective of the manufacturing process that she was eager to apply in new ways. But she didn't want to leave the Vancouver area — or the company.
"I never even considered looking outside Weyerhaeuser for the next step in my career," she says. "I knew I'd be able to continue to grow my career and flourish here. I feel very aligned with our vision and values, and seeing so many employees stay for decades is a really good indication that a lot of people have that same connection."
Clara and employees of the Vancouver Parallam plant participate in a shoreline cleanup volunteer project a few years ago.
TAKING HER SKILLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Clara kept an eye on the job board and was excited when the territory manager position was posted. Her only hesitation was whether it was too far outside her experience.
"I spent a lot of time researching the position and talking to others about whether it would be a good fit for me," she says. "And I realized my passion and enthusiasm would translate really well to sales. I'm so glad I took the chance. My fears and doubts melted away as soon as I got started."
Clara's work environment shifted from the industrial setting of Vancouver's Annacis Island to a business district in suburban Surrey. Her days used to be spent on the factory floor in a hard hat, attending to urgent developments as they happened. On the sales side, things are a little different.
"I'm zoomed out to look at the bigger picture," Clara says. "In manufacturing, you have to be really good at thinking critically and making fast, logical decisions in the moment. In a customer-facing role, I'm focusing more on messaging and learning as much as I can about how our products fit together and function in real-world settings."
Clara kayaks with her fiance Josh in Princess Louisa Inlet on BC's Sunshine Coast.
SHARING HER PASSION FOR ENGINEERED WOOD
Getting started during COVID made Clara's first year as a territory manager a little different than usual. Video calls and remote learning took the place of in-person training and visits to see customers face to face. She viewed the challenge as extra motivation to hit the ground running and find new ways to connect.
"My new team is fantastic, and everyone was so receptive to onboarding me despite the challenges of COVID," she says. "I've had so much support from amazing mentors throughout the transition, and it turns out all the relationships I built at the plant still have a lot of value."
Stepping in to temporarily fill a role as an inside sales representative earlier this year also added to Clara's toolbox of skills and insights. She hopes to maintain her driving sense of curiosity in the future and allow it to shape her into an even more well-rounded asset to the company.
"As pandemic restrictions are lifting, I'm starting to expand my exposure to all the different facets of the business," Clara says. "The coolest thing has been seeing customers express so much interest in our products. I can't wait to get on the road and kick-start new relationships and experiences. Plus, I get to look at the gorgeous scenery of British Columbia while I drive around to visit customers. What a luxury!"
ADVICE FROM CLARA
Lean into your team. Embrace the knowledge, experience and support of the people around you, and know that you have much-needed skills to bring to the table, too. Trusting each other is crucial for working collaboratively.
Integrity is the best compass. Honesty, accountability and holding ethical standards gives you a foundation of confidence that will help you succeed.
Recognize roadblocks you put in front of yourself and break them down. Check in with yourself about limiting self-beliefs and eliminate obstacles or perspectives that aren't serving you. Be patient with the process, because it can take time to make meaningful changes.

Melanie Griffith, 62 poses in lingerie on Instagram which has left her followers in amazement!!!
Very few people have the skills of looking tempting and alluring after the age of 50, and Melanie Griffith is one of them.
Melanie who stared in more than 50 hit films and mother of three grown-up kids has shared her seductive selfie on Instagram, Tuesday night.
She left her followers stunned when she posted a selfie of her's in The Kit's black lingerie. She flaunted her 62-year-old body wearing a black T-shirt bra and high-waist thong with open-toe heels.
She captured herself in front of the floor-mirror, in her large walk-in-closet.
So these 2 awesome, creative, incredibly chic [email protected] and @simoneharouche have started this amazing new lingerie line @thekitundergarments 💃🏼 I love everything they have made and btw want one of each! They also donate a portion of anything you buy to charity. ♥♥♥♥ FOLLOW THEM!!
A post shared by MELANIE (@melaniegriffith) on Oct 29, 2019 at 4:23pm PDT
Her jaw-dropped selfie was panegyrized by her fans. Her comment section is flooded by buoyant appreciation on her looks and how she maintained her body at the age of 62.
Some commented that she was their inspiration.
'Not many women of your age are as hot as you are. How do you do it.?' Added another one.
All the ladies and gents of her age got inspired by her picture and also asked her secret behind her 'sexy', 'amazing' body.
There is no doubt that Griffith's priority is her health, that is why she is working every day for seven years in a row with her trainer to make sure that her body is healthy and hearty and look forever young.
Melanie has been the past victim of alcohol and drugs due to which she also went to rehab in 1988 and 2009. The actress also suffered from skin cancer, for which she has undergone surgery to remove it from her nose.
Despite her past struggles she still manages to look this beautiful and rocks every age.

You have to be a Norwegian citizen in order to be granted a Norwegian passport. However, you will not automatically get a Norwegian passport when you become a Norwegian citizen. You have to apply for the passport.
Before you can apply for a passport, you must have a personal identity number , issued by the Norwegian Tax Administration, (external website).
If you live in Norway, you must submit your application for a Norwegian passport to the police (external website).
If you are not a Norwegian citizen yet, you can apply for Norwegian citizenship.


But not the kind you think they are.
The cold February day I got my belly button pierced, I hadn't been planning on doing it. My mom had two coupons for free piercings, and she asked if I wanted to use one. I was a bit surprised at first, but like any reasonable, broke sixteen-year-old would, I agreed to go with her.
I remember not feeling very afraid on the way to the tattoo and piercing parlor. I was mostly trying to figure out how I could possibly ask my mom to buy me some pricey Northampton food afterwards.
I wasn't afraid walking up the stairs to the tattoo parlor.
I wasn't afraid picking out the blue barbell jewelry that would be holding open my piercing in a few short moments.
I wasn't afraid when the guy who would be piercing my stomach used a sharpie to mark where the needle would pierce me.
Hell, I wasn't even afraid when I was laying down on the table, with the needle poised to stab me.
It honestly wasn't until everything was said and done, and I stood in front of the mirror next to the table I had been laying down on only a few moments before that I felt the first inkling of terror. The blue barbell sparkled from my navel as I tilted my hips one way, then the other, trying to remember exactly why I had decided to do this. Did it make my stomach look any flatter? No. Did it make me feel any more powerful? No.
"Do you like it?" my mom asked.
Did I? I mean it was cute. It was cute, and a commitment. A commitment. Oh God, I had just committed to something.
Maybe that's why the piercing rejected a few months down the road. At first, I took such good care of it. I soaked the piercing in salt water with a shot glass twice a day, every day and only wore loose pants just like I was supposed to. I didn't pick at it no matter how much it itched while it was healing. I did everything right for about a month, thinking it had healed.
Oh boy, was I wrong. During the summer things went downhill really fast. I went swimming for the first time with my piercing. A week later I once again stood in front of the mirror, trying to decide if I still liked the piercing when I noticed that it seemed to have…moved. Was it not centered anymore? Was it just a trick of the light? I convinced myself it was nothing and forgot about it. The next week, it seemed like it was a little more crooked. And the next, it was even worse, and it seemed like the barbell had gotten longer. But no, that was impossible. The piercing itself must have gotten shorter.
I remember going to my mom, full of questions, since she had gotten her belly button pierced years ago, and hers looked nothing like mine did. She thought I was crazy, said it still looked exactly the same. I don't blame her at all for what ended up happening next, because honestly, it wasn't that noticeable that the piercing was moving. I'd always been hyperaware of everything that I thought was wrong with my body. So, the second that piercing started to reject, I knew.
By the end of the summer, the barbell was only half embedded in my skin. The piercing had definitely rejected, and with a broken heart I decided to just take it out. And I was definitely brokenhearted at this point because somewhere along the line, probably when I realized that the piercing was no longer going to be a permanent part of me, I started to really love having it.
I guess that's pretty cliché, huh? At least, as cliché as the story of an idiot who decided to go swimming with a not-fully-healed belly button piercing and subsequently lost said piercing can be.
Well, the piercing scarred me pretty badly. I have been afraid to take my shirt off because I worry someone will notice the scar and think it looks as awful as I'm convinced it does.
But, honestly, more recently I'm getting over feeling insecure about the scar, and I want to do something about it. A few days ago, I found myself in yet another tattoo parlor with my angel of a roommate, eighty dollars waiting to be spent waiting on my debit card as I talked to someone about possibly re-piercing a scarred navel. I didn't go through with it, not because I didn't want to, but because piercing scar tissue gets really tricky, and the aftercare is no joke either.
I hope that by the end of the week I'll have another blue barbell sparkling merrily at me as I stare at it in the mirror. This time, I'll definitely say I like it without any hesitation.
Alaya Ayala ([email protected]) really likes getting tattoos and piercings, and is no longer quite as broke and scared of commitment.

Definition - What does Practical Extraction and Report Language (Perl) mean?
Practical Extraction and Report Language (Perl) is a scripting language. Perl applications are known as Perl scripts, which tend to be much more compact than scripts written in other languages. A common use for Perl is to extract text file information and generate a report or other output format.
Perl is an interpretive rather than compiled language, e.g., C. Although uncompiled programs require more CPU run time, short Perl programs and faster processors actually save time. Perl is used in many areas of Web application development.

Limit children's snacks to 200 calories a day: UK health body
London– Concerned over the high intake of sugar from unhealthy snacks among young children in England, a new campaign has urged parents to limit the intake of calories to just 200 per day by including foods such as malt loaf, low-sugar yoghurt and drinks with no added sugar.
The suggestions from Public Health England (PHE) — a government agency for preventing ill health — are part of their newly launched campaign "Change4Life".
The Change4Life campaign wants parents to give their children a maximum of two snacks a day containing no more than 100 calories each, not including fruit and vegetables, the BBC reported on Tuesday.
The eight-week Change4Life campaign will offer parents money-off vouchers towards items including malt loaf, lower-sugar yoghurt and drinks with no added sugar in some supermarkets.
The offer will also be extended on a range of healthier snacks include packs of chopped vegetables and fruit, sugar-free jelly, and plain rice crackers at selected supermarkets.
According to the PHE's National Diet and Nutritional Survey, children between the ages of four and 10 consumed 51.2 per cent of their sugar from unhealthy snacks, including biscuits, cakes, pastries, buns, sweets and fizzy and juice drinks.
On average, primary school children have at least three sugary snacks a day, which means they can easily consume three times more sugar than the recommended maximum.
Each year children consume, on average, some 400 biscuits, 120 cakes, buns and pastries, 100 portions of sweets, 70 chocolate bars and ice creams and 150 juice drink pouches and cans of fizzy drink, the findings revealed.
"If you wander through a supermarket you see many more things being sold as snacks than ever before," Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, was quoted as saying to the BBC.
"What has changed is kids' lunch boxes are getting full of snacking products. It leads to a lot of calories for lunch," Tedstone added.
Tedstone hoped that the campaign would help to "empower" parents to make healthier snacking choices for their children".
The PHE has previously called on businesses to cut sugar by 20 per cent by 2020, and by five per cent in 2017.
The agency said it had also improved its app that reveals the content of sugar, salt and saturated fat in food and drink.
A sugar tax on the UK soft drinks industry has already been announced and will come into force next April, the report said.
Last month, the health body also urged British men and women to reduce their intake of calories to just 1,600 a day, which included 400 calories for breakfast, 600 for lunch and 600 for dinner, without drinks, the Daily Mail reported.
For those who follow this, 200 calories in form of snacks can be taken. (IANS)

Edge of Tomorrow Director to Helm Gambit Movie
Doug Liman to direct Channing Tatum in the Gambit movie
In September, we received word that director Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Gambler) had exited his role as helmer of the upcoming X-Men spinoff feature, Gambit. Then, about a month later, it was revealed that Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow) was a frontrunner for the job. Now, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Liman is in final negotiations to direct the October 7, 2016 release for 20th Century Fox.
The trade adds that other names in the mix for the job were Joe Cornish, Shane Black and, earlier on, F. Gary Gray.
Liman just wrapped the Tom Cruise drug-smuggling drama Mena, which Universal Pictures has set for a January 6, 2017 release. He also has two more possible Cruise-led tentpole films planned, including Edge of Tomorrow 2 and his long-in-development sci-fi passion project Luna Park.
Both Channing Tatum and Lea Seydoux remain attached to star in the Gambit movie, which features a script by Josh Zemuter, based on a treatment by Chris Claremont. Tatum, Reid Carolin, Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg are producing. The film is set to follow both the X-Men spinoff Deadpool on February 15, 2016 and Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse on May 27, 2016.
Created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1990, Gambit, a New Orleans native mutant, quickly became a fan favorite due to his kinetic energy manipulation abilities and penchant for stealing. The character's only big screen appearance to date (outside his name being featured as an Easter egg in X2) was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played by Taylor Kitsch.

NEW YORK; March 8, 2005 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is marking International Women's Day today with a series of coordinated activities in 20 cities around the world focused on women in business.
The objective of Accenture's involvement in International Women's Day is to provide a global forum that showcases the company's initiatives addressing the issues facing women inside and outside the workplace. The effort brings together Accenture people and clients from around the world, along with other business leaders and academics, and demonstrates the company's ongoing commitment to recruiting, retaining and advancing women.
Accenture expects more than 2,000 employees to participate in its International Women's Day activities, which include leadership development sessions, career workshops and corporate citizenship events. The activities will be held across six continents — in eight cities in the United States and in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Several other Accenture locations are also marking the day with activities on a smaller scale.
Among the many Accenture senior executives participating in the company's International Women's Day events are Chairman Joe Forehand and COO Steve Rohleder, who will be in Bangalore, India, where activities will include workshops on building effective networks and managing work/life balance. Gill Rider, Accenture's chief leadership officer, and Kedrick Adkins, Accenture's chief diversity officer, will be participating in London, where Accenture is hosting a panel discussion with business executives and academics. All told, dozens of Accenture executives, including nearly every member of Accenture's executive leadership team, will be participating in the day's events.
Accenture is also coordinating a webcast featuring stories from and about Accenture women worldwide. The webcast will run uninterrupted for 30 hours across 11 time zones and will be available to all Accenture employees via an Intranet connection.
"As a global company with more than 100,000 people in 48 countries, Accenture takes its responsibility to women very seriously, and we are pleased to host this important series of global events," said Bill Green, Accenture's CEO. "Because we understand that women are critical to Accenture's success, we aim to attract, retain and advance women by recognizing, fostering and maximizing their performance."
Gill Rider, Accenture's chief leadership officer and global coordinator of the company's International Women's Day program, said, "Accenture is leveraging International Women's Day to celebrate our people and to increase awareness of our women's initiatives. We are providing a global forum through which our people will have the opportunity to connect and learn from one another, to develop and enhance their skills and to give back to their communities."

ORIE's Henderson awarded NSF grant to study emergency medical services
August 9, 2021 By: Pat Gillespie
Shane Henderson, the Charles W. Lake, Jr. Professor in Productivity in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell, is using stochastic modeling and optimization to study new directions in emergency medical services, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation.
The nearly $380,000 award will contribute to national and international health by developing new mathematical and computational tools to inform the design of so-called volunteer schemes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
"Cardiac arrest arises when a patient's heart enters an atypical rhythm," said Henderson. "Death follows rapidly unless the patient receives medical attention. Lives can be saved if the patient receives cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quickly."
Recently, volunteer schemes have arisen whereby volunteers install an app on their smartphone that tracks their location. Volunteers near a cardiac arrest are notified by the app and can choose to respond, thereby shaving valuable minutes from the response time, i.e., the time until quality CPR is initiated.
"Such schemes are emerging worldwide, but key questions relating to their design remain unanswered," Henderson said. "For example, how many volunteers are needed to ensure impact on survival rates, and when one can potentially recruit volunteers of multiple types, which should be prioritized?"
The proposed research develops methods to answer these questions and others related to the design of such schemes, with the potential to help usher in a new approach to emergency medical services, where ambulances for transport are paired with volunteers for rapid response, leading to improved medical outcomes at lower cost. Related research questions relate to the potential impact of broadband connections that enable a remote paramedic or doctor to advise on-scene treatment by a paramedic or ambulance officer, and how to make dispatch decisions in periods when emergency services are severely loaded.
Henderson and Ph.D. student Maggie Li are actively working on these questions with collaborators in the Netherlands and New Zealand.

Reverse of the Medal: Google Accused of Invading Privacy
December 2, 2015 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment
Google is being accused of data mining. I guess we could all see it coming.
It seems like if not every day, then at least every other day we hear about Google's exploits. The media is buzzing every time the technological titan does something news-worthy, and generally the company is more or less seen in a positive light. Well, not this time. Read on to find out the reverse of the medal: Google accused of invading privacy.
10 million Chromebooks are currently being used around the world
50 million students and teachers around the world are using Google Apps for Education
Over 200 major companies signed the Student Privacy Pledge
The first Google Doodle was dedicated to the Burning Man Festival in 1998
Google plans to scan all 129 million book in existence by the end of 2020
The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a complaint against Google this Thursday, as they claim that the company is in breach of the Federal Communications Act by accessing and mining the data of all the students using Chromebooks.
Chromebooks are a variety of laptops provided by Google to schools across not only the US, but across the world. Along with their Google Apps for Education, the company provides platforms to study to numerous schools, thing that can be seen as nothing but helpful, albeit slightly self-promotional.
However, as the Electronic Frontier Foundation accuses, the information registered by the devices is then sent back to the Google servers, and the data is analyzed for monetary gain. This would, in itself, not be such a bad thing, as the company is only getting back some of the money invested via the Chromebooks and free apps.
But unfortunately for them, Google, along with 200 other companies, signed the Student Privacy Pledge, prohibiting them from using or mining any data from students. If the EFF's claims are accurate, the gigantic company is in violation of the Pledge's terms.
Google has refrained from making any comments related to the subject other than saying that they provide educational services for students around the world, and while they appreciate the EFF's concerns, they are certain that nothing they did was in violation of the Pledge or the students' privacy.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation did receive a win, as Google decided to interrupt their synchronizing function on the Chromebooks, a function that allowed them to synchronize Google accounts across all devices. However, as they say, this is a small victory for the privacy of students using the company's services everywhere.

Basement flooding, leaks and humidity make this area particularly vulnerable to mold growth.
A musty smelling basement, cellar or crawlspace often means mold and mildew, which can result from water leaks, flooding and/or basement humidity. In other cases, those same musty, moldy odors can signal foundation issues. Learn how to remove mold in the basement using Concrobium on walls, flooring, carpets, furniture and behind walls. Once your mold has been defeated, keep these areas dry by using Concrobium Moisture Grabbers or Concrobium Moisture Grabbers XL.
Concrobium Mold Control is great for eliminating odors and odor causing particles in carpets. If you suspect mold in your carpet, you should pull it back to see if mold is growing on the subfloor and underpadding as well.
Once you have access to the mold, apply Concrobium Mold Control as a thin, even layer over the affected surface and allow to dry.
In any case, as a final step, ensure that Concrobium is the last product applied to the surface to ensure the moldy barrier remains intact to prevent from future mold.
NOTE: Using a HEPA vacuum after successful treatment and complete drying of your carpeted area is a great way to clean up and remove dead mold spores that may be deeply embedded within the fabric.
Tip: Concrobium Mold Control will not discolor flooring, drywall or upholstery when applied. If you are worried about your possessions, test the product on an inconspicuous section first just to be sure.
If you suspect mold is growing behind the walls, you must expose the moldy surface before treatment as the solution will not penetrate a solid barrier. Concrobium must make direct contact with mold to be effective.
Remove the drywall or create/find an opening into which Concrobium Mold Control can be sprayed or fogged.
Once you have access to the affected moldy area, spray Concrobium Mold Control in a thin, even layer over the surface.
Allow to dry completely. As the solution dries it eliminates any existing mold and fungus and leaves behind a protective barrier.
Once the mold has been eliminated, replace the affected drywall with new materials. Be sure to address any sources of moisture that caused the mold problem initially.
Fogging Concrobium Mold Control is a great option for those damp, earthy-smelling basements. A cold-fogger, available for rent at select Home Depot Tool Rental Centre locations. The fogging machine mists the solution and coats all basement surfaces to eliminate mold and musty odors.

Erase All Kittens, The Foos, Tynker, and Run Marco!
By Emeline Swanson / Notebook / December 2014 Issue
Here are four online services which teach kids (or anyone) how to code in a fun engaging way.
There are at least 40 online services and software tools designed to help kids (and adults) learn software programming in a fun way. These four services are excellent examples.
Run Marco! by Allcancode
Allcancode's Run Marco! is a free game that teaches kids the basics of computer programming and is geared toward ages 6-12. However, Run Marco! is great for beginners of all ages who are interested in developing their technological skills. The 2D game is simply charming. With an adventurous storyline conveyed through stunning artwork and catchy music, the player acquires a certain mindset necessary for completing goals. For example, consider the objective: to maneuver Marco through the levels in a sort of board game configuration.
Players give Marco a set of commands to reach a given goal and, in the process, recognize patterns and organize the steps needed to reach this goal. Players are encouraged to experiment with commands to realize what does or does not work and what works best. In turn, the game instills in the player a mindset of efficiency: condensing commands to create "shortcuts" in reaching the goal of each level. These shortcut strategies develop through game progression.
Level 1-10 of Run Marco!
Game instructions may seem a little tricky at first. Directions are given in the form of pictographs which add to the challenge and encourage the player's mathematical thinking ability. Consider the final level of part one pictured above. Marco must walk straight 8 squares, turn right and repeat twice more. The following pictograph illustrates the method that works best for solving level 1-10:
Pictograph instructions for level 1-10: This multiplicative programming strategy condenses and simplifies the command.
Run Marco! is an excellent game in that it allows the option for experimentation; however, it also encourages consideration for what strategy works best. Level 1-10 can be solved with the condensing strategy mentioned above or by laying out the entire process (no short cuts). The latter process is lengthy; just think of multiplication and addition! Spoiler alert — here are the two processes I experimented with to beat level 1-10 that demonstrate this comparison:
Left: Taking the long road (literally) with the basic additive property of programming.
Right: Making your life (and Marco's) easier with multiplicative steps!
Run Marco! is available for free online and on the go with your mobile device. The game is a wonderful way of teaching your kids, students, or yourself to understand the basics of computer programming as it builds bridges to more advanced capabilities.
The Foos by codeSpark
The Foos is a kid-friendly game presented by codeSpark that supports the "Hour of Code" movement directed by CSEdWeek. While it may not have the storybook graphics unique to Run Marco!, The Foos is just as adorable with its humorous cartoon characters and all around silly missions. CodeSpark strives to make learning computer programming easy and fun. The game encourages experimentation, as well as adds incentives for learning. Such incentives include striving to improve one's score, collecting coins for rewards, and earning more skills through level unlocks.
A two star rating is good. Experiment with different strategies to earn three stars!
Each level requires a one star rating to pass. However, a maximum three star rating can be achieved when you help the designated character score with one concise, efficient command. The scoring system leaves a little leeway for beginners yet encourages you to experiment for a better score by rethinking the process. This includes problem solving through efficient command sequencing and choosing the best command to begin with. Looping actions provide a fun way for kids to experiment with the bizarre effects of coding.
Looping/infinite boxes: where are you, "construction worker" Foo?
In addition to earning stars and improving your score, new skills are learned and rewards unlocked throughout the levels. Players have the opportunity to collect coins for the bonus incentive of purchasing these rewards, including new Foos for more fun in the free style option.
Playing with the Foos in free style mode
Perhaps the trickiest part of the game is recognizing the next step since directions are not given in plain text (as seen in Run Marco!). To enhance problem solving capabilities, the developers leave it up to you to figure out the unobvious.
For example, level 2-8 is unique in that it allows the player to navigate two different Foos to complete one goal. The level starts out with the default character set to the construction worker Foo; however, the police officer is needed to finish the task. Rather than clicking the other character to switch roles, a simple solution which I later discovered in my experimental endeavors, I spent most of my time trying to accomplish a two-Foo job with my construction worker. Going forward, I learned that "clicking" enhances gameplay: dragging my mouse across the screen reveals a wider expanse and clicking random objects in free style mode (e.g. helium tank) allows room for more creativity.
Level 2-8: Working together
Erase All Kittens by Drum Roll
"Long long ago, in the times of the ancient Internet, humans lived in a world without kitten gifs. Then, in 345BC (before cats), the Internet arrived." — Erase All Kittens
The opening lines of the HTML and CSS coding game, Erase All Kittens (EAK), immediately entices those familiar and unfamiliar with the growing phenomenon of Internet-featured cats and other adorable creatures alike. In developing a game revolving around this modern day craze, younger generations as well as anyone with a sense of humor can enjoy learning HTML through this witty approach.
The creators encourage digital literacy and note that their ultimate goal behind the project is "for children to create things, rather than just being consumers in our increasingly digital world." With a hilarious backstory and the incentive of revealing more cuteness through level completion, EAK provides a uniquely fun way to learn HTML.
Arca in Level 1 of EAK
Despite necessary support needed for further game production, EAK's first levels are available to play online and teach the fundamentals of HTML coding with the objective being the main character's kitten rescue mission. Players use basic keyboard commands to move Arca toward rescuing the kittens trapped in boxes; however, learning code becomes the necessary key to achieving this goal as players encounter gaps and other obstacles. He or she must hack the level by pressing "E" or clicking "Edit" at the top, thus altering the level's layout and, in turn, providing a safe route to the kitties.
The first level, for example, introduces the alteration of "ledges" so Arca can safely reach the other side. In edit mode, players hear/read a tutorial introducing HTML tags and have the opportunity to pause, reverse, or fast-forward at any given time. EAK appeals to both visual and auditory learners and offers self-paced learning in addition to tons of fun, taking any intimidation out of learning a computer language.
EAK editor (level 1)
After embarking on an adventure and learning about opening and closing tags (specifically <div> section dividers) and headers, players are asked to partake in a brief survey to provide Drum Roll with input toward game improvement and project support. Unlock a bonus level through completing the survey to experiment with CSS while working with style tags. With fan support, Drum Roll can continue to create brilliant and charming tutorials that allow players to succeed in becoming HTML literate.
In addition to developing programming software for courses at home and at school, Tynker has created seven free games in support of the "Hour of Code" with eight more games on the way. Tynker divides the games into two grade ranges: K-4 and 5-8.
Depending on the learner's age, interests, and abilities, there is at least one game that teaches the player the fundamentals of computer programming. Puppy Adventure, for example, is a great game for young beginners as it introduces pattern recognition, sequencing, loops, conditions, and the if-else command with one basic mission: help Pixel the puppy find his way home.
Level 11 of Puppy Adventure — Using Conditional Loops
Even though Puppy Adventure might be considered one of the more basic games of the bunch, players are encouraged to solve the level. You are get more detailed instructions only if stuck or the submitted command can be simplified for efficiency. Similarly, Lost in Space targets a beginner audience (in the higher 5-8 grade range) by incorporating more challenges than the Puppy Adventure game. Navigating astronaut Biff is trickier in this programming tutorial as the player must maneuver in various directions and remain within the allotted paths.
Level 17 of Lost in Space — more turns!
Unlike many of the adventure code games, Tynker's tutorial kits are easy to follow and encourage complete customization of a player's own game within an editor. These tutorials are a bit more advanced than the adventure games as they cover new material and build on the knowledge learned from such games as Puppy Adventure and Lost in Space.
Take the Arcade Shooter Kit, for instance, which includes 21 steps available in text and audio to help the learner easily follow along. The tutorial is self-paced. It includes detailed explanations of the different commands, or blocks, used to create the sample arcade game. Once through the steps, players can experiment with numerous options in the editor to alter the sample arcade game to change it. This tutorial kit, along with other games by Tynker, is highly recommended for anyone interested to code or enhance their programming skills.

Known for his staunch stance against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, former Pentagon adviser Michael Rubin said in his latest opinion piece that the head of state may end up being "exiled, imprisoned or executed."
"Erdoğan would neither be the first Turkish leader imprisoned nor, should his critics seek vengeance and the justice system allow, would he be the first to be executed," Rubin said in his latest take for the Washington Examiner.
"While Menderes' execution scarred Turkey, it also set a precedent. Where Menderes was innocent, Erdoğan is, in most cases, guilty. While Menderes was in many ways a martyr, there is ample precedent for others who have engaged in ethnic cleansing, war crimes, terror sponsorship, and mass corruption to pay the ultimate price," he said, comparing former Prime Minister Adnan Menderes, who was executed in the aftermath of a military coup, with President Erdoğan.
While accusing Erdoğan, Rubin interestingly tries to defend Israel at the same time, in a way totally unrelated to the substance of the article.
"Human Rights Watch and other anti-death-penalty organizations may complain, but they often subordinate principles to politics. For HRW, it is simply more lucrative to bash Israel than waste much time on Erdoğan," he says in the piece.
"That does not mean Erdoğan's execution would be wise — to transform the Turkish leader into a martyr would condemn a new generation of Turkish politicians to face the same polarization and unrest that the last generations have."
Rubin is known for his biased views on Turkey and Erdoğan. This piece is not the first time he attacked the president; he regularly targets him in his articles.
"Such a strange irony: to reinstate the death penalty and be the first one to be hanged," he previously said regarding Erdoğan's call for the reinstatement of the death penalty.
Rubin also regularly sends provocative tweets threatening the president, as well as his family and promoted the "No" campaign for the constitutional reform referendum, which resulted in a decisive "Yes" vote.
He is also a staunch supporter of Egyptian coup leader Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who replaced the country's first democratically elected president through a military takeover.
Rubin had previously been criticized for defending Fetullah Gülen, the leader of Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ). For instance, he wrote a piece entitled "Deporting Gülen Would Undercut NATO," and used a pro-FETÖ hashtag #hizmet in a tweet in which he denied any association with the group.
The former Pentagon adviser continues to outrage the Turks, who express their anger in responses to his provocative tweets, some of which are written in Turkish.

One of the main things that people see in YouTube when they're searching is the thumbnail. When they get the search results it shows a thumbnail of what the video is. So, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have something that catches people's eyes. But how do you create these?
Well by far the easiest and best way is with a free site called 'www.canvas.com.' It gives you everything you need to make things thumbnails. It even gives you the correct sizes and all the elements you'll need. All you need to do is sign up at www.canvas.com and search for YouTube thumbnail. This means you've got the correct dimensions and you also get free thumbnails that you can use to edit and change to your heart's content. A great tip is to brand this so that it looks like yours all the time you can see your eyes pop out when people search for stuff in YouTube.
Another great tip is to make sure that you create good content as that's what makes videos go viral. Now don't worry if you're not sure what great content is yet, just keep making videos because you will get better. But what you want to do is create more and more stuff so that you get used to it and eventually you'll get better and better until it gets to the point where it comes as second nature. You should also optimize your home page.
Have a mess around with this and see what works best for you. You can add graphics to the top to make sure that is eye catching and you can add all of your different social channels as well. All of this helps it to stand out from people that haven't bothered. You could email and text your subscribers.
One way to build an email list is actually on YouTube itself. Put your link inside your video description where they can sign up for some sort of freebie or maybe to be put onto some sort of newsletter. Now, once you have these people on your list you can then tell them when there's a new video is up. You can also create email list outside of YouTube and then use that to drive people to your channel to subscribe.
You can put links to other videos in your video descriptions. By doing this you create kind of a video wheel where people see what's in your video, they like it and they click on another one of your video links, they watch that and so on. This builds up your view time and your amount of views on your entire channel. This is great because this helps in the SEO as well.
Don't forget good old physical promotion. Word of mouth, business cards things like that. By promoting an offline you can get people online to go to your YouTube channel. People forget about this in this day and age of digital marketing, but there are still many people that don't just go on YouTube for the sake of it. You need to let them know you're there.
By having your own Website or blog and embedding on videos on there or even putting links to watch your YouTube channel, you're going to get a lot more views. All you need to do is make a post based on something you've got and embed on YouTube video into it. This will drive lots of traffic and also build your blog at the same time.
Another great tip is to look for videos with lots of views and make videos on similar topics. Now, maybe you're in the Internet marketing niche in which case you can see what people's videos are getting lots of views based on the reviews and things like that and you can make something similar. Likewise, you can use the search technique that we used in a different video to find related topics and headlines to base your videos on.
You could also put pictures on Google Maps. When you visit somewhere, you can put a picture up that people will view this picture and you can put a link to your YouTube channel inside of it. You'd be surprised how much traffic comes through Google Maps and the images and reviews they do.
One of these tips combined can lead to a massive influx of traffic from somewhere other than just your YouTube channel. Hopefully you've enjoyed this course on behalf of myself, Alex Copeland, Richard Fairbairn and the Online Success Model Team, thank you for taking the time out to watch these videos.

Lepidogyne ist eine Gattung aus der Familie der Orchideen (Orchidaceae). Sie besteht aus nur ein bis drei Arten krautiger Pflanzen, die im tropischen Südostasien beheimatet sind.

Beschreibung
Die Arten der Gattung Lepidogyne sind relativ große, terrestrisch wachsende Orchideen. Das Rhizom ist kurz und kräftig, die Sprossachse ist dicht beblättert. Die Laubblätter sind länglich-lanzettlich, an der Basis laufen sie in einen breiten Blattstiel aus, der den Spross halb umfasst. Die Blätter stehen in einer grundständigen Rosette und werden bei Lepidogyne longifolia bis 50 cm lang; die ganze Pflanze erreicht eine Wuchshöhe von einem Meter oder mehr. Schlechter berichtet von Papua-Neuguinea von einer Wuchshöhe bis zwei Meter bei Lepidogyne sceptrum.

Der traubige Blütenstand ist endständig. Die Blütenstandsachse, die Tragblätter, der Fruchtknoten und die Außenseiten der Sepalen sind behaart. Die auffälligen Tragblätter sind länger als die Blüten. Die Blüten sind resupiniert, der Fruchtknoten ist verdreht. Die Blütenblätter sind nicht miteinander verwachsen. Die seitlichen Sepalen liegen an der Lippe an oder sind abgespreizt. Die Petalen sind asymmetrisch oval-rhombisch, sie haften am oberen Petal an. Die Lippe ist zweigeteilt: Der basale Teil, das Hypochil, ist sackförmig, im Innern befinden sich sechs konische Anhängsel. Die Ränder des Hypochils weisen nach oben und enden in zwei kurzen Seitenlappen. Der vordere Teil der Lippe, das Epichil, schließt ohne Mittelteil an und ist länglich-dreieckig. Die Säule ist im unteren Drittel mit der Lippe verwachsen. Das Staubblatt ist schmal oval bis lanzettlich mit einer herzförmigen Basis. Es enthält zwei keulenförmige Pollinien, deren Stielchen an einer gemeinsamen lanzettlichen Klebscheibe (Viscidium) haften. Die Narbe besteht aus einer Fläche. Der untere Rand der Narbenfläche ist zu einer plattenförmigen, fleischigen Membran erweitert, die die Narbe teilweise abdeckt. Das Trenngewebe zwischen Narbe und Staubblatt (Rostellum) ist dreieckig und an der Spitze eingeschnitten.

Vorkommen
Lepidogyne ist in Südostasien beheimatet. Das Verbreitungsgebiet reicht von Malaysia und den Philippinen über Indonesien bis nach Papua-Neuguinea. Es werden Höhenlagen von 500 bis 1300 Metern besiedelt. Die Standorte liegen im Schatten von Wäldern und Gebüschen, auch in Sekundärwäldern kommt Lepidogyne vor. Die Pflanzen wachsen auf humusreichen oder anmoorigen Böden. Von Java berichtet Comber ein stellenweise häufiges Vorkommen.

Systematik und botanische Geschichte
Lepidogyne wird innerhalb der Tribus Cranichideae in die Subtribus Goodyerinae eingeordnet. Nach Dressler lässt sich diese weiter in zwei Gruppen unterteilen; Lepidogyne steht in der größeren Gruppe mit nur einer Narbenfläche. Die Gattungen Goodyera und Hylophila sind nah verwandt. Ein Unterscheidungsmerkmal von Lepidogyne ist die "Platte" über der Narbe – allerdings gibt es in der Gattung Goodyera Arten mit erhabenen Rändern um die Narbe, und bei Hylophila finden sich seitlich der Narbe zwei Anhängsel.

Die Gattung Lepidogyne wurde 1858 von Carl Ludwig Blume aufgestellt. Der Name kommt vom altgriechischen  und , er bezieht sich auf das Gewebe über der Narbenfläche. Typusart ist Lepidogyne longifolia, diese hatte Blume zuvor als Neottia longifolia beschrieben.

Es gibt also nur eine Art:
 Lepidogyne longifolia  (Syn.: Neottia longifolia , Lepidogyne minor , Lepidogyne sceptrum ): Sie kommt in Malaysia, auf den Philippinen, in Sumatra, Java, Borneo und in Neuguinea vor.

By Divorce Saloon on August 21, 2017 Comments Off on Can Divorce Lead to a Midlife Crisis? Think GOOP.
CAN DIVORCE LEAD TO A MIDLIFE CRISIS – PREMATURELY?
So, we were having a conference call the other day to talk about what our plans are now that summer is winding down and the conversation somehow led to Gwyneth Paltrow.
Just as a disclaimer, we tend to like Gwyneth around here and think she is pretty cool.
But it came up because someone suggested that GOOP is Gwyneth's midlife crisis which was triggered prematurely after her divorce.
It led for an animated discussion but then I thought I would write a post about the midlife crisis and divorce. Truth be told Gwyneth started GOOP before her divorce. It was at least a couple of years before. So I doubt her divorce had anything to do with it. Granted, I do think the fact that she left her Hollywood career to sell some of the products she sells on GOOP like tarot cards and vaginal eggs is, maybe, a little bit…eye brow raising. To put it diplomatically. And it could be signs of a midlife crisis. But was it triggered by her divorce?
The thing is, even though her divorce happened a few years after she launched GOOP, the marital troubles obviously must have already been underway. Divorces have at least a 2-3 year gestational period where you are miserable as ever and working on trying to patch together what is left of your relationship and then, finally, one day, you just face reality and give up and file for divorce.
So in all fairness, GOOP could have been conceived around the time when Gwyneth was having the most severe marital problems. And obviously, this could have caused Gwynnie a lot of stress and she could have internalized it and finally came up with a panacea for the angst and the suddenly having to face up to the fact that she was a woman of a certain age and her marriage as she knew it was ending. Next thing you know, she is selling vaginal eggs.
But is it a midlife crisis? Is it evidence of?
So can divorce lead to a midlife crisis? Premature or otherwise?
I mean, I am not a shrink. But I am thinking that, yes, maybe.
Obviously, not everybody is going to be selling vaginal eggs. But there will be some other type of manifestation of the inner struggle and conflict…that occurs at a certain time of life, and that is exacerbated by a divorce.

Taking trash to the Landfill? Tarp it!
Uncovered trash loads contribute to litter and safety issues along the roads of the Grand Valley. Per Colorado Traffic Code, spilling of loads on highways is prohibited and citizens must take measures to prevent it. That means all vehicles traveling to the Mesa County Landfill or related transfer stations MUST BE COVERED AND SECURED with a tarp.
For those who don't, FEES WILL BE DOUBLED.
For more information, please call 970-241-6846.
Mesa County's Commissioners are weighing in on federal legislation that would allow the exchange of oil and gas leases in the Thompson Divide area for federal mineral leases on the Grand Mesa, the Uncompahgre and the Gunnison National Forest.
The move would be good for Mesa County, officials say, because the oil and gas leases would allow for oil and gas development.
Mesa County officials want to make certain, however, that development would occur. Currently, development in the Thompson Divide area is halted because of litigation.
Mesa County has long held a position of supporting responsible resource development, and this proposed lease exchange fits with the county's vision for economic development.
"Under this proposal, Mesa County would derive direct economic benefits from the development of federal minerals located within our borders. We would also benefit from the development of those in neighboring Delta County, insofar as we are an economic and commercial hub for the region, and would therefore support many of the jobs that this development would create.
"We would ask that some form of assurance be provided that development will be allowed to proceed in as timely and efficient manner as legally and practically possible. ...we do not wish to see the conflict currently brewing in the Thompson Divide merely shifted westward."
The Mesa County Commissioners today shared their support for Senate Bill 212.
The bill is "of critical importance to the protection of life and property in Mesa County," the Commissioners wrote in a letter. "The bill will ensure that Mesa County and its constituents are able to build stormwater detention facilities without the cost, red tape and delays associated with applying for a water right."
Mesa County has a new full-time Public Information Officer (PIO). As of April 27, Veronica Daehn Harvey has been re-classified from the Mesa County Health Department to fill the PIO position. For some time, the County has attempted to work without having this position filled on a full-time basis. However, the Board of County Commissioners has been expressing the need for a full-time PIO for a while in order to continue the Board's strategic emphasis on transparency to the public through more and better communication.
Harvey comes to Mesa County Administration from the Mesa County Health Department, where she served as Communications Manager for two years. In February, she took on a dual role, serving both the Health Department and Mesa County. It was during this time that it became increasingly clear that a full-time PIO was needed.
Jeff Kuhr, Mesa County Health Department Executive Director, late last week graciously offered to allow Harvey to serve the whole County full-time rather than attempt to keep serving a dual role.
Harvey will focus on media relations, content development and overall promotion of Mesa County's brand and image in her new role. She will also oversee Mesa County's Web site from a content perspective. She will support the Commissioners and most Mesa County departments (the Sheriff's Office, the Health Department, the Department of Human Services and the Workforce Center have their own dedicated Public Information Officers).
Harvey has a Bachelor's of Journalism degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and spent 10 years as a daily newspaper reporter and editor. She lives with her husband and children in downtown Fruita.
Mesa County Assessor Ken Brownlee and his staff have public meetings planned in May for citizens to ask about their property value assessments and file protests.
Fruita Civic Center (Rotary Room) – Tuesday, May 5, 1:30 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Collbran Town Hall – Wednesday, May 6, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Gateway Community Center (next to the fire station) – Monday, May 11, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Senior citizens and veterans are encouraged to attend these meetings for information on the Senior/Disabled Veterans property tax exemption.

SEATTLE, WA, October 23, 2018 – Giving Compass is the destination for individual philanthropists on their quest to learn, connect and take action around causes closest to their hearts and connect to tools for better giving. Giving Compass today announced the release of two new tools. First, we are offering a content integration tool offering US websites the opportunity to present a curated collection of giving resources from vetted sources in an enhanced user experience. Schwab Charitable, one of the largest national providers of donor-advised funds and other philanthropic services, is the first to offer a series of customized news feeds from Giving Compass, which will appear on various pages of the Schwab Charitable website, www.schwabcharitable.org.
Second, we are introducing the Giving Planner. Giving Planner is a digital tool for donors to benchmark, plan, track, and analyze their giving from any device. Giving Planner was created through a catalytic grant from the Raikes Foundation as a way to help individuals set giving goals and practice giving more strategically with a simple digital tool.
"I am thrilled to see the partnership forming between Giving Compass and Schwab Charitable. We both care deeply about helping individuals increase their support for the causes they care about most. Providing Schwab Charitable's active donors with Giving Compass' tools and resources can influence generosity in ways that lead to faster progress on issues and in communities, here and around the world," said Jeff Raikes, Co-Founder, The Raikes Foundation.
The Giving Compass API allows even greater content customization than the free widget. Schwab Charitable has tailored its Giving Compass content via the API to help donors understand where and how they can have the most impact on causes and charities that mean the most to them. Visitors to the Schwab Charitable website can find the new curated news feeds by selecting pages from the "Maximize your Impact" drop down list on the homepage.
minded individuals to follow Schwab Charitable's lead," said Larry Leibowitz, Giving CompassBoard Member and former COO of The New York Stock Exchange.
"At Schwab Charitable, we are committed to providing donors with the best-in-class tools and resources to help them achieve maximum impact with their philanthropy. Through our partnership with the Raikes Foundation and Giving Compass, we offer donors access to extensive and diverse philanthropic content and tools which will help them embrace an even more thoughtful and informed approach to their charitable giving", added Fred Kaynor, Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, Schwab Charitable.
Donors can take the next step from learning to taking action by using the Giving Planner. With Giving Planner, philanthropists and individuals can align their giving with the issues and causes they care about. Most people budget to guide their personal spending and track spending against a budget. Similarly when giving, developing giving goals and managing to those goals can increase donor impact.
In the first module, users can easily create a giving budget in minutes and compare their giving budget to others matching their demographic profile, including income and age. In the initial plan, users are asked to specify their core focus areas and assign percentages they wish to allocate to the focus areas of their choice. The tool also suggests setting aside 20% of giving plans as a "giving buffer" for disaster- related and other unplanned requests that often emerge via conversations.
over time. Best-in-class data encryption and multi-factor authentication assure users of their privacy in inputting financial information.
Clear, Sustained, Focus. Focused giving on specific issues or places, especially those where there is a personal passion.
Research-Informed Strategy. Exploring the landscape and understanding the needs of those one is trying to help, as well as the capacity of potential partners.
Continuous Collaboration & Learning. Joining forces with others to achieve greater impact than one can on their own.
Giving Compass provides a Gateway to Impact Philanthropy. The organization offers leading resources about charitable giving and the non-profit sector. By curating and aggregating the best material from around the web about philanthropy, coupled with a team of journalists creating original content and fresh insights, Giving Compass will lead you to more effectively give of your time and money.
