Go Direct to Unique Grahall Insights for Associations.
What is common knowledge in the Association industry? It is harder then ever to find the resources; because the economy and most industries have become more global, interlocked and therefore volatile your association members businesses are more complex; members and potential members are more sophisticated and are more demanding in general and association groups that represent the status quo with tired offerings and resources for members will not satisfy their members needs or sustain themselves as a viable entity.
Grahall provides knowledge for associations. We have data, information and knowledge specific to the challenges faced by association professionals and their members in the form of blogs, books, surveys, research reports, articles and white papers all available for immediate download.
Knowledge is only part of the key to success as an association. Old data and methodologies that are tired, old and out of context today can waste time, leave your organization in a less effective position and hurt your member's interests. Allocating your scarce resources among critical alternative opportunities determines the winners and losers in today's ever increasingly competitive market.
Grahall provides solutions in the form of fully automated calculators, tools, or reports specific to your member needs.
We encourage associations looking for partners to augment their own offerings and resources to select them based upon their own and their members needs. Those needs may be specific to the issue (investor relations, Board compensation, CEO rewards and Contracts, executive compensation, sales force effectiveness, employee pay, recruiting or training); or the stage of the client organization (start-up, emerging, growth, mature, challenged or turnaround); certain client events (IPO, M&A, Divestiture, or Bankruptcy); or it may be that specific industry knowledge is critical. Whatever the criteria, Grahall's unique system allows you to review and select the consultant you wish to partner with based on know how, organization stage or event, industry and even location.

This paper argues that consumer demand for unethical behavior such as fraud can impact employee turnover through market and psychological forces. Widespread conditions of unethical demand can improve career prospects for employees of unethical firms through higher income and stability associated with firm financial health. Similarly, unethical employees enjoy increased tenure from the financial and psychological rewards of prosocial behavior toward customers demanding corrupt or unethical behavior. We specifically examine the well-documented unethical demand for fraud in the vehicle emissions testing industry, and its impact on employee tenure. We use data from tests conducted by several thousand licensed inspectors to demonstrate that fraudulent employees and employees of fraudulent firms enjoy longer tenure. These results suggest further work to separate the multiple psychological and economic mechanisms likely driving our findings.

The Soulard Business Association represents the businesses of the Soulard Neighborhood located less than one mile south of Downtown St. Louis. A popular destination for locals and visitors alike, Soulard is home to more than 200 businesses within a 120 square block area – more than half of those businesses are members of the SBA.
Our mission is to support business owners in way of promotion, communication, event planning, and community involvement. Businesses, non-profits and individuals can support the SBA through modest yearly dues.
Soulard is the oldest neighborhood in the city of St. Louis, exhibiting a leisurely pace and an appreciation of days gone by. The historic streets are lined with red brick town homes that house live music clubs and unique restaurants. Our lively neighborhood was named for Antoine Soulard, a Frenchman who surveyed colonial St. Louis for the King of Spain. Today, structures built by early brewery workers have been turned into music clubs, shops and restaurants – many of which offer outdoor dining in elaborate courtyards. The historic churches of Soulard, built by St. Louis' immigrant communities, also welcome visitors throughout the year.


Let's Discuss: Whatever Happened to "Takeovers"?
If you're keeping up with Club Penguin, you know about the latest event going on: the Zootopia Party. But it's a sponsored party and affiliated with the Disney movie, Zootopia. In that case, shouldn't it be called "the Zootopia Takeover"? After all, it is taking over our island, or at least parts of it.
The last time a sponsored party was called a Takeover was the Star Wars Rebels which took place in January of 2015. Since then, there have been four other parties promoting Disney products outside Club Penguin (Frozen Fever, Inside Out, Descendants, Zootopia). The names of those parties do not have "Takeover" in them. They just end in "Party" like every other party. Furthermore, these are just a few examples of promoted parties not having "Takeover" in their names (like the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam in 2013).
Why has Club Penguin stopped using "Takeover" for their sponsored parties? Does this word have a bad rap? Not everybody likes Takeovers aka sponsored parties. By not including this word in the event name, would it attract even those who dislike Takeovers? Even if they use "Party" instead of "Takeover," I doubt it would conceal its Takeover-self.
Or is it because "Takeover" is too much of a strong word for minor promoted parties like the Zootopia one? It doesn't actually take over the island, just a couple of rooms. In my opinion, Club Penguin has stopped using "Takeover" due to a mix of both reasons aforementioned. They both seem sensible to the situation on hand.
Let me know what you think of the untouched word, "Takeover". Do you agree with me or is there another reason you suspect of CP's decision to stop using the word in their sponsored parties' names?
You may be aware that Saraapril, who owned and ran her once-popular Club Penguin cheats blog has stopped blogging altogether after so many years. I thought this would never happen, knowing that she blogs about Club Penguin with passion, but it has!
Also, Trainman1405, blogger of his well-known and frequently-visited Club Penguin Memories blog has considered quitting blogging, as well. Has he run out of steam?
Legendary bloggers of the Club Penguin community like them have thought about stopping their blogging activity, because well, we grow up and circumstances in our lives change. Not only did they provide gaming help with their blogs, but they were true leaders on our little, snowy island. On the bright side, however, they have sparked inspiration for many, many penguins to start their own blogs and become great, positive, new leaders. I was one of those affected by their monumental achievements and contributions. People like them leave a grand legacy behind. Just because they have stopped blogging doesn't mean they have also stopped being a community member. In fact, Saraapril informed us in her last blog post that she will still be waddling around Club Penguin. We're all getting older, but Club Penguin will never vanish from our hearts and memories.

Confederate Soldiers who did not Fight with their own Command
Thread starter Tom Elmore
Tom Elmore
On rare occasion, a soldier might find himself with another unit, through no fault of his own. One example would be a returning convalescent who attached himself to another command until he could locate his own regiment. Because a county in any given state may have raised two or more companies that were widely distributed within the army, a soldier could seek them out and know that he would be welcomed and accepted by former acquaintances from his own community, and perhaps even kinfolk, who happened to be part of another corps.
Such appears to be the case with Private John Carlton of Company D, 6th North Carolina, who was a resident of Burke County. On July 1, for some reason he fought (and died) with Company B ("Burke Rifles") of the 11th North Carolina. We do know Carlton was trying to get back to his own regiment, but never made it. A modern reference naturally lists him among the men of his own regiment, part of Col. Isaac E. Avery's brigade, which fought against the Eleventh Corps on July 1 north of the town. No one would have reason to suspect that he actually laid down his life while fighting the Iron Brigade of the First Corps west of town, with Brig. Gen. James J. Pettigrew's brigade. (George Phifer Erwin Papers, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, cited in My Dearest Friend, The Civil War Correspondence of Cornelia McGimsey and Lewis Warlick, ed. by Mike and Carolyn Lawing, Durham, NC: Carolina Academic Press, 2000, p. 145; John W. Busey and Travis W. Busey, Confederate Casualties at Gettysburg)
Another example prior to the battle is that of Charles A. Conn, Company G, 45th Georgia, from Baldwin County, who found his company on June 30, about six or seven miles from Gettysburg. But before rejoining his company, he caught up with Hood's division, and spent a comfortable night with Company F, 9th Georgia – the "Baldwin County Volunteers." (July 8 letter of Charles A. Conn)
A different but equally uncommon scenario involves a relative in one unit making an extended visit to a relative serving in another unit. Private Alfred Lewis Scott served with Company G, 9th Alabama, although he was occasionally detailed to the Florida brigade as a staff officer. His brother, James McClure "Jim" Scott, Jr., was a 3rd Sergeant in the 10th Virginia Cavalry. Jim was reportedly wounded in the neck on the Emmitsburg road on July 3 (it would have to be in the afternoon) while with the 9th Alabama. A third brother, John Zachary Holladay Scott, a member of the 5th Virginia Cavalry, also found himself away from his command, and became part of a group sent by Gen. Robert E. Lee to scout the army's right wing on the morning of July 2; he appears to have witnessed (from a safe distance) the encounter involving Wilcox's Alabama brigade in Pitzer's Woods later that same morning. In any case, John met Jim the following morning, July 3, while making his way back to the 5th Virginia Cavalry, which was on the far left flank of the army. (Memoir of Service in the Confederate Army, by Alfred Lewis Scott, Virginia Historical Society, Richmond; Confederate Veteran, vol. 7 (1899), p. 492; 10th Virginia Cavalry, by Robert J. Driver, Jr., The Virginia Regimental Histories Series, 1992)
It seems the 9th Alabama also received a separate additional reinforcement, "off the books." David C. Crow, evidently a civilian resident of Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama, claimed he took part in the battle of Gettysburg while visiting with the 9th Alabama. On July 27, 1863, he enlisted in the 4th Alabama Cavalry. It turns out Company D of the 9th Alabama was from Lauderdale County, and led by Captain James Madison Crow, which suggests David was a relative.

I have recently been going through the Special Orders ledger books of various Departments and have been surprised at how many exchanges are recorded -- soldier A and soldier B, at no cost to the government, and with the consent of the officers concerned, are authorized to swap units. The SO books I have been reviewing are mostly late war, but I assume this was common once conscription started.

William Outlaw served in Company F, 48th Georgia (Wright's Brigade, Anderson's Division, Hill's Corps) and his brother W.G. Outlaw served in the 59th Georgia (Anderson's Brigade, Hood's Division, Longstreet's Corps). As Anderson's Brigade arrived on the field on July 2, the brothers sought one another out. After a short reunion, they approached Captain Thomas Kent (Company F, 48th Georgia) and asked if they could fight together in the coming battle. Captain Kent offered Private James Kersey to the 59th Georgia who was accepted and the men joined their new commands.
The Outlaw brothers would both die in Wright's attack on Cemetery Ridge and James Kersey was wounded in Rose's Woods and left behind when Lee retreated.

Just wondering, if they joined together in the 59th Georgia that would have made them part of Anderson's Brigade and yet it appears they died in Wright's attack on Cemetery Ridge. Some of this must get very confusing for folks trying to research individuals.

Cavalry Charger said:
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. The Outlaws fought with the 48th Georgia while James Kersey (originally of the 48th) fought with the 59th. Luckily for researchers, W.G. Outlaw fighting with the 48th Georgia is fairly well documented.

When Apple announces an event, you can be sure to expect some new products, and while its developers conference is pretty consistent each year, we have some expectations about what we'll hear about.
This week, Apple has listed the dates for its massive computing conference, with the annual Worldwide Developers Conference starting on June 134 and going all the way to June 17 in San Francisco.
The conference serves as a way for developers to get together and see what Apple has that is new and exciting in the pipeline, similar to Microsoft's Build and Google's IO conferences, and previous conferences have been used to highlight and announce some pretty important developments for Apple.
Back in 2012, the conference was used as a way of showing off the Retina screens on the 15 inch breed of MacBook Pro that it would later introduce to other computers, while a year after Apple was the first with fourth-generation Intel Core processors, also known as "Haswell", with these appearing in the new MacBook Air launched at WWDC 2013.
Last year, we saw improvements to iOS, with multitasking included, while Apple Watch became a little more customisable, something owners had been asking for.
So what will this year bring?
The good bet is likely a new version of iOS, and at the tenth version, we wonder if it will be called iOS 10 or iOS X?
But we're more interested in the possibility of new MacBooks, because with no new Mac announcements at the recent iPad Pro launch alongside the iPhone SE, we're expecting to see updates to sixth-generation Intel Core processors for the MacBook Air and Pro line-up at WWDC, and even a new super-slim MacBook.
That last one is interesting, because rumblings on the other side of the world have suggested the current fleet of slim MacBooks are being pulled from shelves, suggesting we could see a new model even earlier, possibly as early as mid-May.
In any case, we'll let you know when we do, because whatever Apple announces, chances are it will be interesting.

You can never know too much about weed. From how to properly store your bud to the best ways to spark it, here is the complete guide to enjoying cannabis.
Are you looking to improve the quality of your herb? Or, are you trying to make your experience with it a little better? If so, then you've come to right place. Not only will this guide help transform rookies into true connoisseurs, but it will also teach seasoned tokers a thing or two. When it comes to toking, you can never know too much. From how to properly store your bud to the best ways to spark it, here is the complete cannoisseur's guide to enjoying cannabis.
Before you sit down for a smoke sesh, you must always wash your hands. Whether you're toking solo or with friends, you want your hands to be 100% clean and free from germs. Not only will washing your hands improve the quality of the smoke, but it will also prevent you from spreading bacteria to your bud.
For times when you can't quickly wash up, just use hand sanitizer. It's cheap, and you can get clean in a matter of seconds.
Just like your hands need to be clean, so does your devices. That way, you can savor the flavor of your ganja. For a quick and easy tutorial on how to wash out your bong, refer to the video above. For all other devices, check out this article.
When it comes to picking out your pot, it's all about quality. If you live in a legal state, stick to purchasing your goods from a dispensary. That way, you know what you're getting. And for those that live in a state with strict weed laws, the photo above will help point you in the right direction as far as what your bud should look like goes.
From mason jars to humidors, there are plenty of ways to keep your weed fresh. What matters most is that you find something airtight to put it in and that you leave it in a cool, dark place. For the dos and don't's of cannabis storage, have a look at this article.
Another way to store your pot is with stash bags. For the most part, stash bags resemble regular purses and provide plenty of room for other necessities like lighters and chapstick.
Since THC falls off your nugs and can be easily absorbed by human skin, you should always bust down your ganja by using a grinder. Not only will it make breaking up your bud easier, but it will also collect kief, which brings us to the next part of this guide.
In case you didn't know, kief is dried resin glands or trichomes of the cannabis plant, also known as THC. By using a grinder, you can gather it up and smoke it by itself, or add it to a bowl you've already packed. For a little trick on how to collect the most kief, check out this article.
Instead of using your fingers to transfer your pot into your device, use something else, like an index card or a piece of plastic. Just scoop some up, pour it into the bowl, and then give your piece a slight tap to make sure everything is packed nice and snug, but not too tight.
For the most part, folks will use a lighter to spark their ganja. But if you want to know a method that's far less harsh on the lungs, consider using hemp wick. Studies show that long-term use of butane can lead to not only lung damage but also kidney and liver problems, among other things.
Of all the ways to consume weed, vaporizing is the healthiest method. Rather than burning the plant material, it heats up the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, THC. To learn more about vaporizers, glance over this article.
Believe it or not, there are unspoken manners that you should follow when smoking with others. For example, don't slobber on the blunt, whoever rolls up sparks it, and so on. If you need a lesson on how to be a polite stoner, then this article will teach you everything you need to know.
In case you need to figure out clever ways to cover up the smell of dank or remove it all together, just know that you have plenty of options for before, during, and after a sesh. Check out this article for tips to hide the smell of weed.
In a nutshell, the munchies cause you to eat way too much junk food when you're high. But that doesn't mean you have to give into them. For those of you that would rather not indulge, here are 6 ways to avoid binge-eating when the munchies strike.
Hash is one of the oldest methods of processing cannabis. Whether you want to learn more about hash itself or the many types of hash, everything you could ever want to know can be found here.
Did you know that eating a mango an hour before you smoke can give a stronger, more euphoric high? It's true, and that's not the only thing that will do the trick. In fact, there are 13 other things you can try out, which you can choose from here.

California woman, 21, killed in Bahamas shark attack while snorkeling with family
FILE - Unspoilt Caribbean beach, Rose Island Bahamas. (SHUTTERSTOCK)
By ABC7.com staff
A 21-year-old woman from Torrance was killed in a shark attack in the Bahamas, according to officials in that country.
Jordan Lindsay, 21, of Torrance, died after being attacked by sharks while snorkeling with her family, according to Paul Rolle, deputy commissioner for the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
There were three sharks involved in the attack, and they bit her in the arms, legs and buttocks, and severed her right arm, officials said.
Family members, including her parents, were with her during the snorkeling expedition near Rose Island around 2 p.m. Family members saw the sharks and yelled a warning to her but she didn't hear them in time.
She was brought to a local hospital and pronounced dead there. She is expected to undergo an autopsy in Nassau.
"The Ministry of Tourism, on behalf of the Government and the people of The Bahamas expresses its condolences and deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the victim of Wednesday's shark attack off Rose Island, near New Providence," officials with the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation said.

You can also get retrofit devices which use the existing one, nevertheless consult a plumbing items expert for more information. You need programs of copper pipe for the pump attachment at the heat distribution line. An alternative solution is plastic piping which has been approved in certain locations. Ordinary galvanized ducts are used for space heating water heater systems and need to be sealed carefully to avoid air leakage or let dust get into the system. The recent developments have drastically influenced the use of furnaces, thus bringing in an increasing demand for electric furnaces. Wood and fossil fuel is eventually a scarce commodity now. And thus the theory is to use an abundantly readily available fuel for furnace. The electric furnace doesn't need any fuel to work and hence considered the best. It is just a device that basically converts electrical energy supplied to that to heat energy. Which conversion from electrical to heat is carried out through heating coils. The shelves produce a high temperature when electrical power is passed through them.

Evil Wears A Human Face–Tragedy in Colorado

By now, you've likely heard of the tragedy which occurred in Aurora, Colorado early this morning. If not, at about 12:30 A.M., an individual kicked in an emergency exit at a screening of the Dark Knight Rises, threw in some kind of smoke bomb, and then opened fire with at least three weapons.
Ten people died at the scene, and four others at area hospitals. Fifty others are wounded. The tragic toll is beyond my comprehension. How many families are now bereft of fathers, sons, mothers, sisters, husbands, wives?
The twenty some year old perpetrator was apprehended in a parking lot behind the theater without resistance. Surprisingly, by all accounts, he's just a young man. He looks like one of us.
The monster wears a human face.
But his heart was somehow tragically twisted, dangerously darkened by demons real, or of his own design.
No motive has yet been released.
Was he just playing "Joker," wanting to watch the world burn? We don't know. And in the face of such overwhelming loss, what answer would truly satisfy? It might bring some small measure of closure–knowing why–but it won't bring back the dead, or mend the shattered lives left in the wake of this monstrously senseless act.
While we comfort the grieving, and pray for their healing, let us consider Jesus's words from Luke thirteen:
There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans [Aurorans] were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:1-5, ESV).
Will you join me in praying for the folks whose lives are forever changed?

I'm Losing My Eyebrows


I left my cushy job as a VP of a very large ad agency over 4 years ago – at about the same time that I came to the realization that the marketing environment was changing. Changing very quickly. This was due to the increasing utilization of the internet – a phenomena that has grown exponentially since the day I started out on my own in 2007.
The advent of social media platforms connected to fully optimized websites has changed the way any product or service can reach its intended audience – no matter how defined that audience is. In the tourism industry for example, bird-watchers now have dedicated blogs and those that are interested in birding follow birding sites, look for blog posts, and search for Twitter hashtags that pertain to their passion. Now those enigmatic great birding locations (like the Last Mountain Bird Sanctuary in Saskatchewan) can send out their message in an efficient, economical way and build their locale into a birding destination simply by telling their story. They will be found online by passionate birders. This, in turn, will increase visitation to their property.
This phenomenon is not just contained to the industry of tourism – all businesses need to establish their online presence as the foundation for all of their marketing efforts.
Companies are recognizing the shift in marketing practices.
Advertising Age Magazine reports that more than half of the marketers surveyed said that effectiveness of direct mail, TV, magazines, outdoor, newspapers, and radio would stay the same or decrease within three years. In contrast, well over 70% expected the effectiveness of channels like social media, online video, and mobile marketing to increase.
A recent Ipsos-Reid Survey found that 70% of marketers in North America are using search engine marketing and search engine optimization. This is up from 56% just two years ago. It also states that Canadian and US marketers appear to have increased the rate of adoption of the digital world. Here over 66% of senior managers are very interested in digital marketing which is an increase of 10% since last year. The rate of adoption is compounding as marketers race to understand the digital online tactics.
The same Ipsos-Reid Survey reported a jump from 35% last year to 52% of all marketers now using social marketing sites as part of the overall marketing approach. The study showed that 36% of Canadian and US marketers believe that "spending on TV will decrease over the next two years, " – reflecting the sentiment of a shift in marketing budgets from traditional (radio, print, television) to digital (online, e-mail, mobile).
In addition, the Forrester Research/Association of National Advertisers proclaims that 62% percent of companies say TV ads have become less effective in the past two years due to increased advertising clutter. Of those surveyed, 77% said they would be moving TV dollars to social media this year; 73% plan to shift money to online advertising, and 59% will be spending more on search-engine marketing and 46% on e-mail marketing. Only 15% said they plan to increase spending in traditional media such as radio, outdoor billboards, magazines or newspapers.
The following graph by Morgan Stanley equates the time spent on available forms of gathering data versus the ad dollars spent and it clearly shows the real opportunity lies within the online initiatives.
The lesson here is quite simple – and I repeat – all businesses need to establish their online presence as the foundation for all of their marketing efforts.
Does this mean that we do not require traditional forms of advertising?
The answer is an emphatic no but the strategic direction of these tactics have to adapt to the new Marketing Environment.

(09/P20) TRENTON - Department of Environmental Protection Acting Commissioner Mark N. Mauriello today announced that portions of Lodi, Kearny, Plainfield, Rahway, Somerville and Woodbridge have been designated as state Brownfield Development Areas. The new designations will help these municipalities work toward their redevelopment goals.
Brownfields are properties that have been abandoned or underutilized because of known or suspected contamination. The DEP's Brownfield Development Area program allows communities to designate clusters of brownfield sites for coordinated remediation and redevelopment.
Municipalities that have been designated are eligible for grants of up to $5 million each year from the DEP's Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Fund for investigation and remediation. A case manager assists the communities in overseeing remediation, obtaining financial assistance and coordinating revitalization efforts with other state agencies.
Communities bring together various stakeholders to develop applications for designation. These stakeholders include owners of contaminated properties, potentially responsible parties, developers, community groups, technical experts, and residents. Municipal adoption of a formal redevelopment plan is required.
Lodi is looking to re-create a downtown district between the borough hall and Route 46 with retail and office space that will serve as a focal point for the community. Properties include a vacant rail spur, an abandoned commercial building and the sites of former chemical and dye manufacturers.
Kearny plans to develop mixed senior-citizen housing, commercial facilities and a riverfront walk on properties along the Passaic River that were the site of steel and metals factories, a linen mill and chemical processors.
Plainfield plans to revitalize its central business district by redeveloping a number of vacant and underutilized properties with a mix of small-scale commercial establishments such as banks, health spas, pharmacies and restaurants. The city wants to enhance the district's proximity to the Plainfield rail station.
Rahway is looking to improve its business district with a 1,100-seat amphitheater and black-box theater within walking distance of the Rahway train station. Rahway also wants to acquire an apartment complex with the intention of attracting artists.
Somerville plans to strengthen its economic vitality by redeveloping an old landfill and parking lots near the Raritan River with mixed-used developments that will have access to NJ Transit's Raritan Valley rail line.
Woodbridge wants to clean up past industrial contamination at properties along the Raritan River and develop the area as an eco-park that allows companies to use each others' wastes as resources. The township is also developing a resource-recovery park for recycling, compost processing and other resource reuse.
Launched in 2002, the program is now working on 31 Brownfield Development Areas across the state. Previously designated areas are in various stages of investigation, cleanup and redevelopment.
Municipalities interested in being considered in the next round of Brownfield Development Area designations are urged to meet with the DEP to discuss their redevelopment plans.
Applications must be submitted by a steering committee representing the community and must include the boundaries of the proposed Brownfield Development Area, sites to be addressed, and a description of current activities within the area. Applicants must demonstrate that their redevelopment plan is achievable. Applications may be submitted from Jan. 1 through March 31, 2010.


My husband and I spent vacation time at Physis in June and liked it so much we returned again in October. The owners, Emily & Jeremy, were the best! They recently have renovated all 4 of their rooms with air conditioning, de-humidifiers, refrigerators, safes, and all new linens. Everything was so new, clean and fresh. We loved spending our evenings in the outdoor lounge area, relaxing in the hammocks, enjoying a cocktail, and watching the wildlife. They even had a TV in the lounge area for the morning news. So close to the beach for our daytime activities. They also have snorkel gear, boogy boards, and bikes to rent which made it really easy for us to get around. Thanks for making our vacation so affordable, easy and enjoyable. We will definately be there again soon! Don & TT PS Great breakfast!!


PTI reports that the Centre has asked Uttar Pradesh to amend its rules for minor minerals to make it transparent and non-discriminatory – auctions in other words. This follows from the Supreme Court judgement in the Presidential Reference on allocation of natural resources. When will Goa follow suit?

Why public libraries matter more than ever in the information age | Book Nook
Public libraries are places that are free and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
by Lisa Rosenblum
Sunday, February 17, 2019 8:30am
Occasionally, someone unfamiliar with King County Library System will say to me "Why do we need libraries when we have the Internet?"
I actually love that question because there are so many compelling answers.
Libraries, as repositories of knowledge, have been around for about 5,000 years, dating back to ancient Middle Eastern civilizations that began to preserve important records and texts. The first public libraries appeared in Athens, Greece around 500 BC.
It is true that libraries have a long history, but that hardly makes them outdated. On the contrary, public libraries are more relevant than ever in an Information Age in which the Internet and social media has made the quest for knowledge increasingly confusing and complex, and where barriers to access still exist.
Public libraries are places that are free and welcoming to people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, religions, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. Public libraries level the playing field, providing equal access to information and creating equal opportunities to learn and grow. And access is not limited to physical buildings. KCLS provides outreach services to senior centers, homeless shelters, detention facilities and other underserved populations that cannot get to a library.
Libraries play a critical role in building community by providing spaces for people to gather and interact. In 2018, KCLS welcomed 10 million visitors and nearly 700,000 program attendees. Children made new friends during story times, non-native speakers practiced English at Talk Time sessions, Teen Library Advisory Board members developed programs for fellow teens, adults discussed current events with authors and local experts and parents traded tips in caregiving classes. KCLS also provided assistance to patrons with real-life challenges, including individuals applying for jobs, navigating Social Security and Medicare, managing debt, seeking health care or searching for housing.
Through it all, libraries continue to offer books, music, movies, databases and other materials and resources to meet the demand of our patrons' wide-ranging interests. KCLS circulated 21.7 million items in 2018, including 4.9 million downloadable eBooks and audiobooks through Rakuten OverDrive — more than any other library in the United States.
So if you are still thinking that libraries are no longer relevant, check out all there is to discover at your local library. As we say at KCLS, the choices will surprise you.
Lisa Rosenblum is the director for King County Library System.

Indiana Lake Borough officials have decided that asking residents to boil their drinking water is better than the over-chlorinated alternative.
Residents spoke out in anger Wednesday at a borough council meeting, complaining of water too chlorinated to drink and use to shower or wash clothes.
Letham, a part-time resident from Illinois, said his entire home smells of chlorine. He and his wife left Indian Lake Thursday to return to Illinois.
Borough Councilman Paul Cornez brought a container of borough water to the council meeting. The water had separated and a thick layer of iron settled at the bottom of the container. The high levels of chlorine conflicted with a sequestrian agent, loosening up iron oxide in the water lines.
Resident Ken Helsel said he's been buying bottled water to drink and cook with for months.
"I won't even brush my teeth with that (borough) water," he said.
The problem began in May, when new federal regulations caused borough officials to issue a water-boil notice. The same water that had been acceptable for decades was deemed unsafe because of a change in federal health standards.
The state Department of Environmental Protection adopted the federal mandate and required the borough to increase the water's contact time with chlorine before lifting the notice. The borough's chlorine levels, which were at a residual of 0.4 or less, were increased to 1.4.
DEP officials acknowledged Friday that most people will smell and taste chlorine in their drinking water at a 0.8 residual level and above.
"Public health and safety is the top priority," DEP spokeswoman Jamie Legenos said.
The federal standards were heightened in an effort to reduce bacterial diseases across the country.
"Although the (chlorinated) water is unpleasant, bacterial concerns are worse," she said.
In order to appease DEP and borough residents in the short-term, borough officials have decided to reduce the chlorine levels and re-issue a water-boil notice. The notice is scheduled to take effect on Monday.
Borough officials plan to submit permits to DEP for the permanent fix in a few weeks. The solution involves additional 6-inch and 12-inch piping to be added to the public water infrastructure. Hanson said the project's costs are within the borough's budget.
Borough officials are optimistic that the plan will be approved in time for the work to be completed before winter, when the ground freezes.


Daewoo looks for silver linings in U.S.
LOS ANGELES - With a dealer body now at 500 throughout the United States, Daewoo Motor America executives say the automaker has 'grown up' and is ready to play hardball in the industry.
This air of confidence comes while Daewoo's insolvent parent company hangs on to existence only at the whim of the South Korean government, sympathetic banks and equally hard-pressed suppliers. And this year's U.S. sales will fall about 30 percent short of the 100,000 units Daewoo executives predicted they would sell.
But Daewoo is looking hard for silver linings in a sky full of storm clouds.
'We are making a profit on our operations (in America),' said Daewoo Motor America president D.J. Lee.
'Our sales were strong through September, then in October they went down because Ford withdrew from negotiations (with the parent company). And November was down because of the announcement that we are in receivership. But we will show gains in 2001 because we will emphasize our price advantage and how we make sense to people on a budget,' Lee said.
In that vein, and with the industry and U.S. economy slowing down, Daewoo expects to change its sales mix more heavily toward the budget-minded subcompact Lanos and compact Nubira sedans and away from its mid-sized Leganza sedan.
Lee predicts the automaker will sell a 'modest' 130,000 cars in 2001, up from about 70,000 this year. Most of the 2001 gain will come from having a complete dealer body; Daewoo had only 200 dealers in January 2000. Lee expects the dealer count to peak at 550 early next year.
With this expected growth, Daewoo plans to hire a dedicated ad agency in 2001, after several years of using job shops to do its advertising. Lee said Daewoo's marketing budget will increase from $90 million this year to $130 million in 2001.
Daewoo and its dealers will have to grow with a new financial services partner. With Debis Affinity Services getting out of the automotive finance business, Daewoo has turned to Primus to be its captive finance ally.
Daewoo also still has its quirky, almost laughable, moments. For instance, until Daewoo hires an ad agency, Lee wants to hold a scholarship contest among college students to come up with advertising slogans for the automaker. And the company still has three factory stores remaining from its initial 49 it had at start-up, although Lee said those last stores should be sold soon.
To be sure, Daewoo will have to make its sales gains with product identical to what it offered this year, as well as without the three-year free-service plan, which was scrapped this summer over some dealers' objections. But if the automaker remains independent and is not folded into another company's operations, then two new products are scheduled to arrive for 2002.
A redesigned Leganza is slated, equipped with a narrow-angle 2.5-liter V-6 to replace the wheezy four-cylinder engine that currently powers it. More angular sheet metal will replace the lozenge look. Its wheelbase and overall length will be the same as that of the Avalon, yet it will be priced less than Camry.
Jumping into the mini-minivan segment could be an unnamed product for the U.S. market but known as Tacuma or Rezzo in other markets. This five-seat tall wagon is powered by a 2.4-liter inline-four cylinder engine and will be priced under $16,000.
Then there are the Korando and Musso sport-utilities under the Ssangyong name. But after counting on the arrival of those products for several years, Lee no longer will count those products as coming, as Ssangyong may be a separate negotiating point for any automaker looking to invest in Daewoo.
