"Enough. Refusal to conform to narrow conventions of STEM through presence, research, and citation" by Regan Patterson
Elizabeth Eckford. The photograph of her walking through a mob of hateful white people trying to keep her out of their school comes to mind. My struggle in the academy does not compare to that of Elizabeth Eckford, but this image evokes the common narrative of black students enduring hostility to enter a white academic space. That "colored woman living in a white world" [1] reflects back to me my experience as a black woman in the white-dominated, hostile, engineering academic space where my legitimacy as a scientist is continually challenged.
My first encounter with the politics of research involved the politics of the "valid" research question. Surviving in my PhD program became dependent upon me defining research questions that satisfied my desire to do environmental equity- and justice-focused research while being deemed "scholarly-enough" (read: novel-, rigorous-, and technical-enough) for environmental engineering by my professors. Throughout this process, I have carried the words of Dr. Carolyn Finney. In a speech given during my second year, she said, "What is your vision…it's the commitment to that. Not commitment to the degree, not commitment to the dissertation, not commitment to someone else's idea of who you need to be and what your work is supposed to look like. You get clear about what you are committed to." Her praxis of "doing the work on your own terms" inspired me to remain committed to making space for interdisciplinary, environmental justice work in engineering. Three years later, it is Dr. Charisma Acey who is helping me develop my final dissertation chapter and serves as a committee member. The mentorship of these two black women faculty, both in outside departments, helped me navigate and broaden colonial notions of "valid, technical" science and persist in academia.
The technical validity of my work is recurrently interrogated until a chapter is accepted to a conference or peer-reviewed journal. Before I became aware of citational politics, I was made to understand that publication is equated with merit. It was when I came across a retweet of a Cite Black Women post about a year ago that I began to think of citation as a practice. In the sciences, we are encouraged to look at an author's h-index, a metric based on number of papers and citations. The h-index is indicative of science's false claim of apolitical knowledge production. Using this value to select article citations reproduces the exclusion of black scientific scholarship due to limited access to and visibility in science fields. Seeing the words "Cite Black Women" reified the need to seek, read, and cite black women in environmental engineering and related fields. Since publication and citation are the institutional metrics of legitimate scientific research, the practice of citing black women is critical for our collective survival in white-dominated, hostile, engineering academic spaces.

Happy Monday! Today, I'm sharing a look I wore to church yesterday! It was one of those mornings where we left for church and my hair was still wet. The mommy life, right?! The babies wanted to be in mommy's photos which always makes me so happy! I shared this dress back in the spring and it was a big hit. It has been restocked in many sizes and I also found an almost exact one at another store that has a pretty draping on the top! I shared all my outfit details below. I hope you have a wonderful week!


The restored 19th century one-room Spring Valley schoolhouse held classes until 1958 and was the last one-room school house in Geary County without plumbing. The working 1930s era water pump and pony barn are still on the grounds.
Frederich Wilhelm Lange was the first missionary sent to Kansas by the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod in 1861. He made is home with the C.F. Wetzel family and preached his first sermon in Kansas in the Wetzel Log Cabin. Placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places it is cared by the Geary County Historical Society and moved to its current location in 2003.
Explore the little cabin and experience what it was like to be a pioneer settling on the untamed prairie in an authentic one room log cabin. Group tours and activities can be arranged by contacting the Geary County Historical Museum.
Wetzel's Log Cabin Church was built in 1857 for a former army dragoon, Louis Kettlehouse. After his death, it became the home of the C. F. Wetzel family.
It was in that same year, 1861, that the first congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, in Kansas was organized in the Wetzel's home.


Single sign-on is an authentication and authorisation system. Firstly, you authenticate so that the system knows who you are. Then, you can access web resources that you are authorised to access.
The change to Single sign-on (SSO) will mean that for the vast majority of users on campus you "Sign On" once to your desktop via your normal login. Your credentials are subsequently used to check whether you are authorised to access protected web resources. This should be a familiar concept to anyone who has used the MyExeter portal which currently implements SSO for a good number of resources.
This is designed to enhance the user experience, improve security and greatly simplify administration/maintenance.
The real benefit is felt when many web resources are integrated with the SSO system and we will aim to greatly increase the coverage over the coming weeks.
Note: If you are using Internet Explorer please ensure that you are using Internet Explorer version 7. Earlier versions are prone to intermittent failure during the automated login sequence.
Any problems should be reported via the helpdesk who should assign any SSO or FSC issues to the Advanced Systems team.

Q: Eror While Executing a dynamic queries in a variable I'm executing a dynamic query from a variable but it always says:

Could not find stored procedure

I have tried to use simpler queries like set @query = 'select * from [table_name]' but it gives the same error.
CREATE TABLE #test
(
    id INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
    name VARCHAR(200)
)

DECLARE @TRIGER_NAME VARCHAR(200)
DECLARE @V_MAX INT
DECLARE @V_MIN INT
DECLARE @QUERY VARCHAR(MAX)

SELECT @V_MAX = MAX(id)
FROM #test

SELECT @V_MIN=Min(id)
FROM #test

WHILE @V_MIN <= @V_MAX
BEGIN
    SELECT @TRIGER_NAME = name
    FROM #test
    WHERE id = @V_MIN

    SET @QUERY = 'DROP TRIGGER '+ @TRIGER_NAME;
    EXEC @query

    SET @V_MIN = @V_MIN+1
END

In my temporary table is the list of all my trigger name so the expected output I want to get is Command(s) completed successfully. Not 'Could not find stored procedure', because I supposed to executing a dynamic queries not a stored procedure.

A: Instead EXEC @query use, EXEC sp_executesql @query. From the docs:

Executes a Transact-SQL statement or batch that can be reused many
  times, or one that has been built dynamically. The Transact-SQL
  statement or batch can contain embedded parameters.

Or if you want to use EXEC, change it to:
EXEC (@query)

From the documentation you have:

Execute a character string   { EXEC | EXECUTE }
      ( { @string_variable | [ N ]'tsql_string' } [ + ...n ] )
      [ AS { LOGIN | USER } = ' name ' ]   [;]

which means your @string_variable or string must be wrapped in ().

Bespoke felt patches and pennant flags, designed and made in Melbourne.
Pennant flags call back to a day where things were simpler and cooler, but it was also a time where we might've ended up nuking each other… some things never change. Why not celebrate the fact we're still here, by sticking something bespoke and rad on your wall!
These bespoke flags make a killer gift for newborns, brides & grooms, loved ones, your best mate… even your gran will dig them. Probably. Name, hometown, footy team, a swear word – as long as it's within the character limit (and not overly offensive) I can design it.
The flags are made from 100% Merino wool, sourced predominately from Australia and then felted in Europe using natural soap, hot water and friction. They're also non-toxic, complying with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, UNE-EN 71-2 and UNE-EN 71-3 standards.
We've deliberately kept our colour options minimal, in keeping with era these flags are inspired by. However, we know that for special occasions, such as weddings, you might want a specific colour. We have access to rainbow of felt colours, so just mention this when you send your order, and we can let you know what's possible.

ATA Ready to Roll with Political Tide
November 16, 2016 • by David Cullen • Bookmark +
ATA's Chris Spear Photo: Evan Lockridge
As the Trump Administration starts to take shape and Capitol Hill is poised to take up yet another omnibus spending package to keep the government running, the head of the American Trucking Associations has issued a gimlet-eyed take on the election results that captures the political nuances industry lobbyists must embrace.
In a Nov 14 letter to members, ATA President and CEO Chris Spear said that "those who actually vote can change the road traveled by an entire nation."
He said the presidential outcome along with the retention of GOP control of both chambers of Congress "will directly impact the trucking industry, further defining the landscape of issues that govern our future, including free and fair trade, comprehensive tax reform, and dedicated and sustainable funding for infrastructure."
In Spear's view, the Trump Administration may "allow ATA increased input to shape regulatory proposals in a transparent, inclusive and data-driven manner."
However, he added, that "one thing is clear– to make progress on legislation, we will continue to work with both Republicans and Democrats to achieve most of our goals, particularly in the Senate where there is a working majority, not a voting majority."
Spear advised that ATA has been wasting no time prepping for the expected year-end omnibus spending legislation package that "would include" a permanent fix for the Hours of Service rule and federal preemption of meal and rest breaks imposed by several states.
"It is now possible that Congress will instead opt for a second consecutive Continuing Resolution (CR) during the upcoming lame duck session," Spear said of the likely outcome. "The CR would fund the federal government through the first quarter of 2017."
According to Spear, delaying an omnibus package until early next year would allow the Republican-controlled House and Senate to "send a stronger package" for signing by newly sworn-in President Donald Trump.
He noted that although ATA "would welcome immediate passage" of legislation that addresses both Hours of Service and meal/break preemption, "a short delay of the Omnibus would only increase the likelihood that these two ATA priority issues are passed.
Spear added that "a short delay" might enable ATA to secure a "full remedy" regarding preemption that would include piece rates as well. "The question about moving the Omnibus spending package isn't about 'if,' but 'when.'"
Turning to highway funding, Spear pointed out that right after the election, Trump said he would send a $1 trillion infrastructure plan to Congress within his first 100 days in office. Noting that he had proposed ATA establish a new Infrastructure Funding Task Force during the group's annual meeting in October, Spear said he now intends to establish this task force "no later than the end of this month" to ensure that "ATA is in a position to help the next Administration and Congress shape and pass a dedicated and sustainable funding package for our nation's roads and bridges."

Baltimore Type Foundry Identification
Jim DiRisio
on 19 Dec 16 (20:10)
Can anyone identify this font? It is 60 point Baltimore Type Foundry and was mixed in a case with various monogram types. Given the figures and punctuation, however, I am assuming it is not a monogram font. Any font and/or year help is appreciated.

Sorry for not attaching the other photo. Here it is.
Updated 19 Dec 16 (22:36)
I happened to be looking through Annenberg's history of U.S. Type foundries and saw a similar font from Boston Type Foundry. After checking out Luc Devroye's page on the Boston Type Foundry at http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-39565.html I was able to identify my mystery font as Facade Condensed, introduced in 1892. Any idea about the rarity of this face?
The information, in another book (Loy), shows that the caps were designed by Julius Herriet, Jr., circa 1881, for The Boston Type Foundry. The lower-case was designed by Gustave Schroeder, for Central, probably around the date that you mentioned. (See Bob Mullen's book, "Recasting a Craft"—2005, for more information about Central).
As to rarity, most collectors, that I knew-of, had at least one size of it, but neither I, nor T.J. Lyons, had 60-point. So, your font may be about a 7, on a 1- to 10- rarity scale, with 10 being the rarest.
Thank you for the help, which provides good context. Does the "BTF" pinmark indicate the font predates the acquisition of Boston Type Foundry by Central? I am not very familiar with pin marks, and had assumed that the "BTF" indicted Baltimore Type Foundry before doing some research.
Darrell Hyder
Thanks for the identification. I knew the source, but not the rarity. I have a full 72 pt. Facade font, caps, l.c., figures, with the "BTF 72" pinmark. The 30 pt caps were recast in the 1950s, I think by Steve Watt.
Foolproof546
The Boston Type Foundry was NOT acquired by the Central Type Foundry. The Boston Type Foundry was incorporated into ATF. Baltimore Type Foundry (actually a Monotype operation) came up with their BTF pinmark decades later.
Facade Condensed is a condensed version of Facade, which is a condensed version of Mural. ALL three of these faces were originally designed as caps only by Julius Herriet Jr. AND John F. Cumming at the Boston Type Foundry and patented May 31, 1881. In 1891 Gustav Schroeder added a lowercase to Facade Condensed while he worked at the Central Type Foundry - and, with this addition it became known as Facade Condensed No. 2.
I am very partial to Facade Condensed No. 2. A few decades ago I was climbing through the stored residue of a large printing company in Northern Wisconsin and found many delightful goodies there. But the biggest MOTHERLOAD that I acquired there was a 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and 72 pt. run of Facade Condensed No.2!!!!!!! Not only that, but each font was in its own case and plentiful!
Rick- Thanks for the clarification. Your precision and accuracy are extremely helpful, and much appreciated!
Given your explanation about the BTF pinmark for the Baltimore Type Foundry appearing decades after the incorporation of the Boston Type Foundry into ATF, what does the "BTF" pinmark on my 60-point Facade Condensed indicate? Is it a "Baltimore Type Foundry" casting of Facade Condensed?
Bob Mullen
Dating a type's age by the pinmark is not an exact science. Typefounders did not necessarily take the time to change the pinmark immediately after a change in name or ownership—this required changing and re-engraving the drag pin in the various molds. For instance, the Johnson pinmark is known to have been used well into the Mackellar, Smiths and Jordan era and possibly into the ATF era after its formation 1892, even though Lawrence Johnson died in 1860. I have some type marked Central Type Foundry that I know was made after ATF bought out that company in 1892.
The BTF pinmark on your Facade Condensed is older, certainly in use during the 1880s, but may also have been used into the 1890s and the ATF era. I have an art nouveau-style cut marked "BTF" that is likely from the 1890s. In the later 1890s the Boston foundry used the "A" pinmark, standing for Foundry A, the Boston Branch of ATF. The St. Louis Branch was Foundry F, and used that letter in some pinmarks, though it is quite rare. I have a font of 18 pt. Celtic that is marked "A" for Boston, but the numerals are marked Central. Another font is marked Central, but the numerals have the "BTF" mark. So, your font of Facade Condensed can probably be dated from the early 1880s to the mid-1890s.
To clear up the history about the Central and Boston type foundries, no, the Central Type Foundry did not, technically, buy the Boston Type Foundry. However, in 1888 the two main owners of Central, Carl Schraubstadter and James St. John, purchased controlling interest in the Boston firm. St. John took over the management of the Boston company, but that company continued to run independently of Central—though they did share matrices and published some combined specimen catalogs. Both companies were the only foundries purchased for cash by ATF when it began in 1892.
Wow! This all covers just about everything you would want to know about Facade Condensed!
Jim, to perfectly clarify the pinmark thing, Boston Type Foundry did use the BTF mark and they tehnically dissolved in 1892. It was well into the 20th century before Baltimore Type Foundry, also known as Baltotype, was established and decided to incorporate a BTF pinmark on their castings. Normally, Monotype casters do not have a stamped pinmark, so they went out of their way to do this.
Bob-Thanks for the highly detailed and informative background. That was exactly the kind of information I was hoping to learn. I am really a printer, as opposed to a collector, and your knowledge, along with insights fromDave, Darrell and Rick have been enlightening. I love this forum!

Although the threat of identity theft can affect our personal, business and financial lives, becoming more informed and taking preventative measures can help mitigate the risk of identity theft and fraud or mitigate the severity of loss and time spent recovering from it.
North Shore Bank is committed to helping you protect your private, confidential information from identity theft and fraud. Please refer to the following information and resources to help you learn more about different scams, where to report information about scams and steps to take if you are or believe you may be a victim of identity theft.
Contact your bank, credit card company or other financial institution if you know or believe your account has been compromised. Close and open a new account or deactivate credit cards or debit cards if lost, stolen or fraud has occurred.
Notify police if you have suffered a loss.
Place a fraud alert on your credit report with one of the three national credit reporting agencies. If you file with one, they will forward to the other two.
Pull a free copy of your credit report to review for any fraudulent activity. You may pull a free credit report from each of the three national reporting agencies once every 12 months. Monitor your credit report at least annually. The credit report is free; credit scores and other services are not.
You can call the new toll-free number: 866-347-0911. Leave a message with your name, call back number and type of fraud. Someone will return your call.
Forward emails that claim you've won a prize/ask you to send money to report@mnscams.org. The focus of this effort is on these lottery and sweepstakes frauds. However, other spam emails can be forwarded to this address. The information in these emails will be sent to the appropriate authorities to investigate.
Do not provide personal information if contacted.
Beware of Scare (Pressure) Tactics. Tell person you will go to local office to discuss issues.
Contact financial institutions by previously provided phone numbers, addresses, and websites.
Cell Phone Scam: A person receives a recorded phone call (currently targeting cell phones) that states the person's debit card/credit card has been deactivated. To reactivate the card, the message states that you must press the number '1' on your keypad and then provide certain information. All these scammers want is a person's account information so they can take over identities and empty bank accounts. You should always come in or contact your financial institution to determine if something appears fishy, and never provide confidential information when receiving phone calls.
Faxed Wire Scam: The Bank receives a wire request to transfer money out of an account with a destination often to a bank located in another country. The target is often a business account. The fax will come in on the same letterhead that the business uses. The fax will display a signature from a person who actually handles the accounting responsibilities for the business; often the person who signs checks, opens accounts, etc. The signature will be an exact duplicate for this accounting person. It is imperative that your bank never sends a wire transfer for any request not received in person without contacting the business (person) to confirm the authenticity of the request.
The Bank Phishing Scam: A person receives a text message or email from their bank claiming that account numbers and identity need to be clarified in order to restore the account.
The MBA is hoping to significantly reduce these scams in Minnesota through a partnership spearheaded by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED): The Minnesota Fraud Enforcement Partnership.
The partnership has created a place for bankers to report frauds and scams. If a bank customer receives a questionable letter, check, or text message, bankers can forward the information on to the people at MnScams who will work to shut down the scammer's main form of communication with victims: a phone number or email address.


Investing your money is one of the best ways that you can see growth over time. While it does require discipline and careful investing advice, there are some methods that you can use to invest smarter so that you can pay a little bit less tax on your investment choices. An ISA has long been one of the favorites for US citizens living in the UK.
An ISA stands for an individual savings account and it is the creation of a number of UK banks. These accounts are designed to help qualify for a favorable tax status. The goal is to have UK residents invest using one of these accounts where they can enjoy less tax on their investments as long as they are available within the ISA.
With other types of savings accounts you will be responsible for paying ongoing interest on the earnings inside the account, interest on any ISAF that will be completely free from tax so that you can hold onto any of the interest that you are earning over time.
Starting an ISA can be an excellent way that you can save money on taxes a US citizen. If you are investing while you are living abroad it's possible that you would have to continue paying ongoing taxes as a United States citizen. The biggest problem that you may face however is the chance that you will be constantly having to pay into the interest that is being earned on every investment.
By starting and ISA, you can contribute up to £20,000 every year to the account, tax free. The interest that you earn on any of the assets in the account will also not be subject to tax so you can avoid the extra costs of investing and lower your tax earned in foreign income quite easily.
To get started with an ISA, many of the top financial institutions across the UK do require some initial investment. If you do have some money set aside or even some assets that you could put into an ISA, it can often be worth it as a tax shelter so that you can enjoy getting a break on some of your foreign investment income.
If you are interested in getting started with an ISA or even beginning your investment strategy as you are living abroad, contact us today. We are professional tax advisors and we can help US citizens living in the UK to get started with an ISA. Our professional team can provide a wealth of tax advice so that you can work at saving money in taxes that are owed in the USA. We strongly recommend starting an ISA if you are going to be investing abroad.

It is not unusual for older fiberglass boats (and not so new, amzingly enough) to develop wet coring, particularly in the transom and engine stringers. Below is one such case. We have also done the same type of work on a Commander 30, basically the same as this, only it was a Commander.
There is a growing "restoration/renovation renaissance" of fiberglass boats across the country and this project is an example. This is a major renovation project on a 1996 Bayliner 3258, pictured below. Many people have the same loyalty to their fiberglass boats as wooden boat lovers do. Projects on this vessel include a new cabin door, some window replacements and repair, hull gelcoat repairs, transom core replacement, new engine stringers and side shelves, swimstep repair, transom door modifications, bottom paint, hull buffing and some additional interior projects. New electronics, fuel management system, etc. were installed by Jordan Morse.
As you'll see in the before pictures below, the transom core , engine stringers, and engine compartment side shelves were completely saturated and rotten. Again, Joel's experience and skills in composite boat building came into use in a major way. As you'll see, new stingers were built from scratch, as were new shelves and transom core, all of which were coated, glassed, primed and gelcoated.

«Вид на деревню» () — картина в стиле раннего импрессионизма с элементами академизма французского художника Жана-Фредерика Базиля, на которой изображён портрет девушки на фоне деревенского пейзажа. Полотно написано в 1868 году и представляет собой живопись маслом на холсте размером 137,5×85,5 см. В настоящее время хранится в Музее Фабра в Монпелье.

История
В декабре 1863 года Базиль поставил перед собой цель «писать портреты на солнце». В 1864—1869 годах он написал несколько портретов на пленэре, во время пребывания в семейном имении Мерик на окраине Монпелье. Так, в 1864 году им было написано полотно «Розовое платье», а в 1867 году — «Воссоединение семьи», групповой портрет родственников и знакомых. В 1868 году здесь же на юге Франции им были написаны две картины — портрет обнажённого мужчины «Рыбак с сетью» и портрет девушки с деревенским пейзажем на заднем фоне «Вид на деревню».

Обе картины Базиль хотел представить публике на выставке в Парижском салоне в 1869 году. Руководство салона отвергло полотно художника «Рыбак с сетью» и допустило к выставке только полотно «Вид на деревню». Художница Берта Моризо, увидевшая картину на выставке в мае 1869 года, написала в письме к сестре: «Великий Базиль создал то, что мне кажется очень верным: эта девочка в лёгком платье в тени дерева, а за ней видна деревня. Там много света, солнца. Он попытался изобразить то, что так часто пытались изобразить все мы — написать портрет на пленэре, и на этот раз его попытка удалась».

О способности Базиля совмещать в полотнах портретную живопись с потребностями живописи на пленэре, критик  писал в своём обзоре: «Каждую весну из южных областей господин Базиль возвращается с летними […] картинами, полными зелени, солнечного света и простой конструкции». Художник Захария Аструк также признал за автором полотна лидерство в изображении «необычайной полноты света, особого впечатления от пленэра, власти дня».

Описание
Девушка, изображённая художником на переднем плане картины, вероятно, была дочерью итальянца — садовника в имении родителей Базиля. Она сидит на земле в тени ветвей сосны, со сложенными на коленях руками, в которых держит маленький букет. Её проницательный и серьёзный взгляд обращён на зрителя и контрастирует с нежными чертами лица. Базиль с большим мастерством изобразил лицо девушки, демонстрирующее её характер.

На девушке платье из белого муслина с розовыми и серыми полосками. Красная лента в её волосах и пояс того же цвета создают яркий акцент. На заднем плане картины изображены река Лез и городок , залитый солнечным светом, с черепичными крышами и колокольней церкви Святого Иоанна Крестителя.

Провенанс
Со времени создания полотна в 1868 году, оно находилось в имении родителей художника Гастона Базиля и Камиллы Базиль, урождённой Виалар в Монпелье. В 1898 году Камилла Базиль передала картину в дар музею Фабра, в собрании которого она находится в настоящее время.

How did the site come to my attention? – I remember JustGiving launching its crowdfunding platform Yimby in 2013. The main goal behind Yimby was to "create a space where communities can raise money for social activism using technology to bring people together and fund projects at grassroots levels." I then lost track of Yimby a bit, but I recently found out that Yimby has now been renamed as "JustGiving Crowdfunding".
My quick summary of the site (before using it) – I expect this site to be geared towards individuals or organisations that want to raise money for specific projects or communities, all with a 'social' or 'community' element.
How does the site explain itself in the first minute? – "Raise money to make good things happen" reads the headline on the homepage of JustGiving Crowdfunding. The slogan is followed by this explanation: "With JustGiving Crowdfunding, anyone can raise money to fund their own project. If it benefits a friend in need, or a local or overseas community, JustGiving Crowdfunding can help you make it happen." The visual explanations of the process and the benefits of doing this through JustGiving are helpful in understanding what JustGiving Crowdfunding is all about (see Fig. 1 and 2 below).
Getting started, what's the process like? (1) – At the bottom and the top of the JustGiving Crowdfunding homepage there's an orange button which says "Raise money" (see Fig. 3 below). After clicking on this orange button I land on a page which is clearly marked as step 1 "Create Page", followed by a "Sum up your story" tagline. However, when I look at what I think is meant as a progress bar at the top of this page, I'm unsure about the number and nature of subsequent steps involved. Assuming that a large proportion of people using JustGiving Crowdfunding will be doing so for the first time or won't be raising funds online on a regular basis, I believe it would be helpful to the user if the progress bar included (a) the step the user is currently on – highlighted – and (b) subsequent steps involved in creating a page – with a progress number and brief description. Another suggestion would be to explain to the user why JustGiving uses a £200 fundraising target threshold. When I – unknowingly – entered £100 as my fundraising target, I got an error message which stated "Sorry, please make sure your target is at least £200" (see Fig. 5 below). As a user, it would be good to understand the rationale behind this threshold.
Getting started, what's the process like? (2) – Completing the "create page" step was very straightforward otherwise (see Fig. 6 below). When I click on "Continue" I then land on a page which looks very different and which asks me to log in or to sign up (see Fig. 7 below). This makes me wonder whether non-JustGiving users are likely to be thrown by this step or not. I can imagine that some users might be worried about committing to signing up without having a full understanding of the JustGiving Crowdfunding process and its outcomes. As I mentioned in my previous point, having a proper progress bar to outline the different steps would be helpful.
Getting started, what's the process like? (3) – As an existing JustGiving user, logging in is very easy and swift. Once I've logged in, I land on an "Add the Details" page (see Fig. 8 below). I took a fictitious example to be able to answer the questions in the "Tell supporters your story" (see Fig. 9 below) and it all felt very easy and intuitive. In the third and presumably final step I get to preview the page I've created (see Fig. 10 below). I found the information on the preview page very helpful, particularly the section about "Pledges and Updates". The one bit of information and guidance that I and possibly other users would benefit from is about sharing/marketing your project and your JustGiving page. I would like to get some expert advice on how to make the most out of my JustGiving page and how to make sure that people get to see and read my page.
How easy to use was the site? – The process involved in creating a crowdfunding page on JustGiving felt simple for the most part. As I mentioned in my previous points, I believe that the site can do better in guiding users through the page creation process, explaining the steps involved, their sequence and outcomes.
How does the site compare to similar sites? (1) – RocketHub is a large, direct competitor of JustGiving Crowdfunding. The fee that they charge the fundraiser will depend on whether the fundraising target has been met (4% if met, 8% if not). With RocketHub you get to keep the funds that have been pledged, even if you don't meet your fundraising target (as long as you're sure that you can fulfil your obligations). I really like how RocketHub provide users with guidance around benefits, their small print and success stories on their login/sign up page (see Fig. 12 below). GoFundMe is another good example, even though their platform is solely geared towards individuals raising funds. I like how they help their users discover charities or projects that they can give money to, e.g. by using Facebook's "Funded by Friends" functionality (see Fig. 13 below).
How does the site compare to similar sites? (2) – The experience on Razoo feels similar to JustGiving Crowdfunding, and is aimed at individuals and organisations which wish to raise funds for specific projects. I like the "Also Fundraising for this Cause" section which showcases other individuals or organisations raising funds for the same project. Buzzbnk is another good example of a competitor who focuses on "Positive people backing bright ideas". Each Buzzbnk fundraising page has a nice, tabbed "About the project" section (see Fig. 14 below). The Buzzbnk site seems to focus more on 'discovery' than JustGiving Crowdfunding currently does.
Did the site deliver on my expectations? – Overall, the experience on JustGiving Crowdfunding feels simple and intuitive. However, I do feel that the site can do better in guiding people through the process, explaining exactly what needs to be done (and why) in order to raise funds for one's social projects. For example, platforms like Kickstarter and RocketHub do this pretty well. Also, JustGiving Crowdfunding's site feels a bit light with respect to two things. Firstly, the social aspect involved in raising funds for projects, really creating a community around certain projects – LinkedIn and Crowdcube (see Fig. 16 below) are doing this pretty successfully. Secondly, I believe thatJustGiving Crowdfunding can do more to encourage people to find and explore new projects or organisations to which one can pledge money. Buzzbnk are doing this well and there are other non competitive examples such as Meetup.com which is a great example of a business enabling discovery in a smart way.
Thanks for doing a review of the site. Really useful to hear an external viewpoint on the product (I'm the PM for this). Funnily enough, I've just been reading the takeaways from our last round of user testing and a lot of similar themes emerged. And I'm glad that we've already got plans to look at most of the areas to improve that you noted – there's a JIRA ticket for the step tracker changes going in the next sprint, and there's a lot of work on discovery coming soon too.

JPMorgan's Marko Kolanovic is abstaining from the early 2023 rally.
Instead, the Institutional Investor hall-of-famer is bracing for a 10% or more correction in the first half of this year, telling investors he's "outright negative" on the market.

S&P 500 bumps up against bear-market trend line that has thwarted it in the past
Michael Santoli
"Fundamentals are deteriorating. And, the market has been moving up. So, that has to clash at some point," the firm's chief market strategist and global research co-head told CNBC's "Fast Money" on Tuesday.
Kolanovic slashed his firm's exposure to stocks last week to underweight. In a recent note, he warned the market is not currently pricing in a recession. His base case is a hard landing.
"Short-term interest rates moved a lot in the last six months, and they'll probably still go a bit higher and stay there," he said. "The consumer took a lot of debt. Interest rates went up. The consumer was resilient, and that was sort of our thesis last year… But as time progresses, they're less and less resilient."
Kolanovic, who is ranked as the number one equity strategist by Institutional Investor for the twelfth time, cites troublesome trends in recent key economic data — including ISM services, retail sales and the Philadelphia Fed Survey as reasons to turn bearish.
"We think things first turn south, get much worse," said Kolanovic.
Yet, the tech-heavy Nasdaq
is up more than 8% so far this year, and the S&P 500
is up almost 5%. It closed on Tuesday at 4,016.95.
He lists positive developments including China's reopening from Covid-19 lockdowns and a weaker dollar
for market enthusiasm. Kolanovic believes they helped create a narrative the worse is behind us and a recession "somehow magically " happened last year.
"I just don't think that at 5% rates we can have this economy functioning," said Kolanovic, who noted private equity and venture capitalists can't exist in this kind of environment. "Something will have to give, and the Fed will need to flinch."
And, it could happen this year as a rate cut.
"At some point, they'll [the Fed] backstop it. So, the big question is where. Is it [the S&P at] 3,600? 3,400? 3,200? We don't have a very strong conviction. But we do think lower is the direction," he said. "There is usually some contagion or something that happens unexpected."
Kolanovic lists Treasury bonds
and cash as viable places to hide out for now.

The Ante Up is that little extra you need to get into bigger waves easier and maintain the balance of speed and stability necessary to rip on the overhead dream days. The rocker has an even bend from nose to tail. The bottom features a slight single-to-double concave bottom with a touch of subtle vee off the back fin for drive and a positive hold through turns. The deck is a bit more domed and foiled down to the rail. This keeps most of the volume of the board under the chest for paddling while keeping a lower volume fine-tuned rail for lightning responsiveness. Thumbtails and rounded pins handle the power best.

Well we have tried emailing lovelyfloraworld.com 4 times with no response. My 16 year old bought me some flowers from this company for mothers day. They turned up 4 days late and dead, despite her paying extra for fast delivery. They have ignored our requests for a refund so I am asking people to share this post so that no one else needs to be ripped off the way my poor daughter has. She was mortified when they turned up.

Who else has been binge-watching stuff on Netflix? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who lost a weekend to The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. She truly is unbreakable; trapped in a bunker for 15 years, and the first thing she does is try to make it in New York City. But while she's running around trying to learn the latest slang, figure out the difference between a phone and a laptop, and keep her job, when does she have time to catch up on comics? It seems pretty likely that Kimmy is way behind, since all she's read for the last decade and then some is The Baby-Sitter's Club. Let's get her started, shall we?

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD-LEADER
He knew it was a crazy thing to do for a man who not long before had been training Muslim militants in Iran. But Daniel Shayesteh was angry, and he was hunting someone.
So the former Iranian revolutionary stepped into a Christian church in Istanbul, Turkey, looking for his business partner, an occasional worshiper there who had just fled town with Shayesteh's money.
Shayesteh never found him, and he never got his money back. Instead, he said, he found a new life of freedom and love -- one that now takes him around the world making impassioned arguments for the power of Christ to bring peace to the Middle East and release Muslims from the bondage of what he calls a religion "full of anger."
Muslim converts to Christianity are few and far between, especially from the ranks of militant extremists. Islam is a religion that itself seeks converts. And in many Islamic countries, a Muslim who leaves the faith for another faces persecution or even the death penalty.
But Shayesteh, 50, is one of a handful of former Muslims working to mobilize the Western church to make converts of Muslims living next door and overseas. He recently visited churches and schools in Lexington as part of a tour with the Crescent Project, an Indianapolis-based organization devoted to reaching Muslims for Christ.
The movement emphasizes acts of kindness, or "lifestyle evangelism," over outright proselytism. Underlying it is the belief that culturally appropriate gestures, such as inviting Muslims to your house for dinner, say more about Christ's love than preaching to them.
"When you go to a Muslim and you say, 'I love you and I just want to say you're welcome to this country,' they're taken aback," said Ron Zargarian, the Iranian-born director of national outreach for the Crescent Project. "They say, 'What do you mean? You're an American?'"
'Our main goal ... was to destroy America'
Shayesteh's message is based on his experiences growing up in northern Iran, where he memorized the entire Quran in Arabic at age 9 and became known as a religious zealot. At a stop last week at Lexington Christian Academy, he said he helped overthrow the Shah of Iran in 1979 and bring to power the Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution.
"Our main goal really was to destroy America," Shayesteh told students during a chapel service. We believed "we have to destroy Christianity and we have to kill Jews, we have to take Islam everywhere and we have to push and force other people to become Muslims."
He described helping launch the Revolutionary Army, training youth at military camps to use weapons and wage jihad -- youth who would eventually go and fight in Palestine against Israel. At one point he projected a photograph showing his wife, Mary, wandering the woods with a machine gun as a young Iranian woman.
"Do not worry," he said to loud laughter from the audience. "I do not allow her to bring her gun today."
Shayesteh's life changed dramatically when he joined the opposition against the authoritarian Khomeini shortly into the revolution, and won election to Parliament. He was repeatedly beaten for his opposition, and one night an armed group showed up at his house, abducted him and took him to prison, where he lived in what he called "a toilet" and was sentenced to death.
Four of his friends on Death Row with him were executed. But Shayesteh escaped prison with the help of some friends in the Iranian government, and fled to Turkey. It was in Istanbul where he went to church, expecting to find "the most immoral people in the world," he said. "But I was shocked -- these people were so nice."
Christianity might have brought peace to Shayesteh's life, but it hasn't made it safe. A central theme in his message is that true Islam -- which he says rejects most moderate Muslims in America -- promotes hatred and division.
His outspokenness has brought death threats in America and in Australia, where he and his family live. He is often called a liar. And travel to many Muslim nations is not an option for him or his wife and children, who now are all Christians, for fear of being arrested or killed.
But Shayesteh said that not all Muslims reject his ministry. Many Western Muslims, frustrated by the oppression and poverty in some of their home countries, are encouraged by his message, even to the point of becoming Christians.
"They are not blind," he said. "They are open to the message and values of other countries."
Hearing his story 'makes it more real'
Shayesteh's story also encourages young American Christians who are thinking about becoming missionaries in Islamic cultures, where winning converts is a tough job with very slow progress.
"It makes it more real when you can hear someone's story and see that he lived the lifestyle and see how he was saved from it," said Johnny Walker, 25, who hopes to go to a Muslim nation as a missionary. He heard Shayesteh speak twice at Lexington's First Alliance Church.
Shayesteh acknowledges that most moderate Muslims do live peaceful lives and are not bent on destroying America. But he insists they are either ignorant about what the Quran really teaches or they ignore it, just as many Christians do not follow the teachings of the Bible.
In fact, Shayesteh contends that one of the most powerful tools against radical Muslims today is educating Muslims and non-Muslims alike about the real teachings of the Quran. When people challenge his assertions, he fires back with a barrage of verses to make his point.
He is also careful to point out that, for all his concerns about the Quran, he deeply cares for all Muslims and his family and friends still in Iran -- some of whom he still keeps in touch with. He tells audiences the message of Christ is the only thing that can stop the bloodshed among his people.
"I do not hate Muslims, because I was once living the lie," Shayesteh said. "I do not hate Osama bin Laden. Give me half an hour with bin Laden, and I will change his life."

Due process and fair procedure may not seem like exciting or important areas of law, but actually they weave through pretty much everything that we do. In this case there is a potential financial penalty to property owners because they followed what they thought was a law allowing them to clear their land. As the Court has ruled that this law was never valid, it is in a sense 'retrospective' and so what these people did is now illegal.
Other countries have the concept of due process or a fair hearing enshrined in their Constitution or Magna Carta, in Australia this is a common law right and therefore subject to a greater degree of interpretation. It can also be referred to as natural justice or fair hearing. The names probably give you a hint of what they mean.
A common law duty to act fairly in the making of administrative decisions which affect a person's rights, interests and legitimate expectations. The legal doctrine of procedural fairness has two principal limbs: decisions by public officials should be made in an unbiased manner (the bias rule) and those affected by such decisions should be given an opportunity to participate in the decisions that affect them (the hearing rule). In Australia the right to "due process" or procedural fairness is not constitutionally guaranteed. However, it can be abrogated only by a clear statement of intent.
What does it have to do with trees?
The NSW Government passed legislation without complying with all of the laws regarding the passing of that particular category of legislation. This is not the first time that the government has done this. The Nature Conservation Council fought the legislation in the Land and Environment Court, the group argued in court that the codes were invalid because Primary Industries Minister Niall Blair did not reach an agreement with Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton. As this was a legal requirement the legislation was set aside.
You cannot retrospectively fix the issue when the problem is a failure to observe due process. The Primary Industries Minister could not go and get agreement from the Environment Minister. They would need to start again with new legislation. Whether or not that legislation can be retrospective is a separate question, but when it comes to due process you either followed the correct procedure or you didn't.
Who is impacted by due process?
In short, everybody. Unless there is very specific legislation releasing you from it you are bound by the requirements of due process. Often small organisations make the mistake of believing that these laws don't impact them, usually on the basis that they are just a small organisation and not the Parliament or a Court or a large business. We have seen this line of reasoning many times, and groups who convince themselves of this expose themselves to litigation because they refuse to comply with the requirements of due process.
What is most frustrating about this is complying with due process is actually fairly simple and usually costs you time, but not money. The most common transgressions revolve around committees or organisations not following their own rules. Indeed, in this case Parliament made the rules that they didn't follow, so this is another example of this problem. Committees and organisations need to be aware of this when they write the rules, and later when they seek to apply the rules. If you have made a rule that something needs to be done within three days then it needs to be done within three days, if that is too quick then change your rules. Often the rules are written with some ideological reasoning, such as we would like this dealt with quickly, rather than asking the practical question of whether or not volunteers or the employees really will deal with the issue within three days.
If you believe that an organisation has not dealt with you fairly, that they have not followed their own rules or given you a fair hearing, you should come and speak with Bruce Coode about this. He is an expert in administrative law, he has been dealing with it for over forty years, and this is not an area of law where people should dabble. We are often confronted by well meaning lawyers who practice in other areas of law, who are sitting on a board or otherwise helping out, and they simply don't understand what we are saying about administrative law until they get their own legal advise from an administrative lawyer. Speak to Bruce and he will be able to indicate whether it is worth further investigating your matter.

Portugal. the Man Offer to Send Alaskan Students Books Banned by School Board
Matanuska-Susitna Board voted to pull The Great Gatbsy, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, more from curriculum
Portugal. the Man, photo by Ben Kaye
Like many Alaskans in the borough of Matanuska-Susitna, Portugal. the Man are upset with the local school board's decision to remove five classic novels from high schools' curriculum. In response, the Grammy-winning alternative rockers have offered to send copies of the books to any student or parent in the district.
As CNN reports, the Mat-Su Borough School Board had a meeting last week to approve the district's High School English Elective Curriculum, which included a required reading list. While the meeting was livestreamed, no one from the community had requested to appear for comment ahead of time — ya know, 'cause they were preoccupied with the pandemic. So when an amendment was introduced to pull five books from the curriculum, no one was there to voice their dissent. The removal was approved on a five-two vote.
The books in question are all literary classics widely taught in schools across the country: F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, and Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
"These titles are often considered staples for junior and senior English classes across the country," Portugal. the Man said in a statement. "We believe this decision is narrow-minded and un-Patriotic, and we are not OK with it. That is why we are putting out a standing offer that if any student/parent in the Mat-Su Borough School District wants a copy of one or more of these books, we will mail them to you."
To get a copy, all you need to do is reach out to sticksandstones@portugaltheman.com.

Amazingly, the Mat-Su Board decided to remove the books based off only summaries, a one-page flier, and "lengthy discussion" — again, a discussion in which community members weren't involved. The flier called out Gastby for "language and sexual references," said Catch-22 features dialogue written with "typical 'military men' misogyny and racist attitudes of the time," and criticized Caged Bird for detailing Angelou's "sexual abuse" and "'anti-white' messaging."
Despite voting in favor of the removal, board vice president Jim hart had said he'd only ever read one of the "controversial" books. "When you have books that you could not read publicly without going to [Equal Opportunity Office], that's probably a pretty good litmus test," he said, referring to I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
It's worth noting the books aren't entirely banned, as they aren't being removed from libraries, only the elective English curriculum. Still, PTM aren't the only ones POed by the decision. A member of the city council has been using Facebook to give nightly readings of selections from her favorite book. Meanwhile, attorney DanaLyn Dalrymple started the "The Mat-Su Valley Banned Book Challenge", entering any student who reads all five books into a raffle for $100. Apparently, the response has been so overwhelmingly positive she's considering upping the prize.
That is why we are putting out a standing offer that if any student/parent in the Mat-Su Borough School District wants a copy of one or more of these books, we will mail them to you. Just hit us up at sticksandstones@portugaltheman.com.
— PTM #MMIW #FDT #LANDBACK (@portugaltheman) April 29, 2020
This misguided and self-righteous decision of the Mat-Su School Board' is also self-defeating. It presents a golden opportunity to engage our children in discussion about the power and beauty of free thought and expression and why these values are fundamental to any free society.
Portgual. the Man

Apple may make one of the best tablets in the world, but that doesn't mean it's the most durable.
If you plan on tossing your new iPad in your bag for your commute, you'll probably want to get a case that's both durable and thin.
Many accessory makers are still working on new cases and sleeves for the iPad Air 2, but there are already plenty to choose from.
Here's a look at some of the best iPad Air 2 cases so far.
Some of them are already available, while others will be up for sale in the coming weeks.
Apple Smart Case ($79.99)
Apple's sleek leather case comes in five different colors and also doubles as a kickstand. The company also says the cover's interior is lined with microfiber to help keep your iPad's display clean.
Speck Style Folio ($39.95)
Speck's new folio style case for the iPad Air 2 is both durable and slim. Not only does it come in a wide variety of colors, but you can also customize it with specific patterns. The kickstand is also adjustable, so you can prop up your iPad at various viewing angles.
Belkin Chambray Cover ($39.99)
If you're looking for something other than leather or silicon for your new iPad, try Belkin's Chambray cover. The material is designed to feel similar to a T-Shirt, and gives your iPad a notebook-style look. Belkin also says the adjustable viewing angles make it easier to type on the iPad's touchscreen.

Home > All > Sponsored Post: Got an Awesome Esports Startup Idea? Let Adi Dassler's Grandsons Help You Launch It!
This article is brought to you by leAD – the legacy of Adi Dassler sports accelerator.
Germany-based sports accelerator leAD is calling for applications from startups across the world.
Benefits include coaching, networking, capital investment, and more.
leAD has partnered with a wide range of experts, including serial entrepreneurs, angel investors, and other decision makers from the world of sports.
In 1924, Adi Dassler founded the company that would become globally known as Adidas. He has since been referred to as the father of the modern sports industry. Decades later, in honor of their grandfather's entrepreneurial spirit, his grandsons came together with a group of experienced professionals and entrepreneurs to launch leAD—the legacy of Adi Dassler—a sports accelerator aiming to help young sports-related startups become sustainable businesses.
With esports growing to become a mainstay in the global sports world, leAD is now calling for esports entrepreneurs to apply for its 2018 program. For successful applicants, there are multiple benefits available, including education and coaching by sports experts, networking events acting as door-openers into the sports business world, and a capital investment of €25K, in return for 8% equity for the final startups selected.
Last year, the call for applications started in February and ran for four months. In that period, leAD received more than 480 applicants from 53 countries. Only 40 were selected for a face-to-face meeting in Berlin. There, after two days of pitches and conversations alongside shareholders and mentors, leAD chose 15 startups from 13 different countries to enter the very first leAD program. An acceptance rate of only 3% serves as a strong indicator of how competitive the startup accelerator is.
The few lucky entrepreneurs were given the opportunity to attend more than 30 workshops, trainings, and weekly sessions to help shape solid businesses and investment strategies. Furthermore, leAD hosted events such as the Mentoring Days, where startups were matched with a select group of experts to help them accelerate their business ideas. Additionally, leAD organized VC Days, where venture capitalists had a chance to get to know the teams and, in cases of interest, close investment deals.
leAD continues to support their graduates through their leAD Business Builder team, which helps founders with all aspects of their businesses to ensure the best possible chance of success for the young companies.
The sports accelerator's setup is unique. First, leAD is the only sports-focused accelerator in Germany, and one of very few globally. The network behind leAD is rooted in the startups, technology, and the sports industry.
Second, leAD is an open platform. It is neither driven by a corporate program nor venture capital investors. Alongside the family of Adi Dassler, leAD is backed by a group of private investors and family offices, many of them with a strong background in sports. This gives leAD the freedom to work with all kinds of sports businesses, including those that have more sustainability and long term potential than a venture case.
When it comes to esports, leAD's network include mentors and partners already involved in the space, such as Jung von Matt sports co-founder Raphael Brinkert, Red Bull Germany's head of sports, events, and athletes marketing Björn Brüggemann, managing director at Lagardère Sports Germany Philipp Hasenbein, and companies like Nielsen, Daimler, and sports club VfL Wolfsburg.
What kind of startups is leAD looking for in 2018?
This is one of the few sports-focused accelerators worldwide.
You get access to a unique and broad network of high-level mentors including sports business veterans, successful founders, CEOs, VCs, and tech experts.
The program is based in Berlin, one of the most important cities for startups.
You get the chance to interact with and learn from an international team of serial entrepreneurs.
You get an opportunity to network with business partners and corporates in the sports world, gaining exposure to their powerful network of investors, who are committed to offer follow up investments to startups who succeed in their program.
If selected for the accelerator, startups can expect high-intensity training, including stress-testing of their business case, assistance with their legal setup, leadership and pitching skills, networking with top-notch industry experts and sports business veterans, a chance to test, improve, and scale their product with leAD's industry partners, direct access to investors, and exclusive deals from leAD's service partners. The finalists will each get €25,000. 8% equity from the finalists will go to leAD.
All applicants will go through a rigorous screening process. Around 40 startups will be selected for a one-on-one session with the leAD team of mentors and experts, to be held in Berlin in end July 2018. The expert jury will then pick the highest potential startups, who will move into the second edition of the accelerator program to commence on September 10 and run till the end of November.
