Coming Soon To A FB News Feed Near You: Video Ads
Facebook has announced that video spots will start to appear on the News Feed within the next few months.
The silent ads will time-out at 15 seconds and will stop playing if the user chooses to scroll past. Tapping the video will launch a full-screen view of the video with sound.
But Facebook is being cautious about who can advertise initially and the quality of their videos. It will use a quality-control company to assess how engaging a spot is before it appears on News Feeds.
What Facebook is calling "Premium Video Ads" will be rolled out gradually while the social media giant observes how users react.

According to International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Food and Beverages industry values around $2.3 trillion in spending at the balance of payment. This figure attributes to a myriad of bakery products that people consume on a daily basis. Now, these bakery products utilize yeast as a leavening agent to convert fermentable sugars present in dough into carbon dioxide and ethanol. This is a major factor driving the yeast market growth which had a global market size between $6,400 million to $6,600 million in 2018 according to IndustryARC's business analyst. Furthermore, the analyst of the yeast market research report estimates that the market will grow at a global CAGR of 7.2-8.2% during the forecast period of 2019-2025.
Yeasts are eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms that belong to the fungus kingdom. Their ancestors are multicellular and they reproduce asexually by mitosis or budding. Predominantly, yeasts have applications in food, alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages, pharmaceutical, and other indispensable products because of which yeast market revenue is consistently on the rise.
Beer, wine, and liquor are alcohol derivatives produced by the fermentation of yeast. The beer consumption is ubiquitous in the world with a whopping 186.72 million kiloliters of consumption in 2017, according to the Kirin Beer University. Even though it is a 0.2% decline compared to the previous year, beer-producing industry is still a humongous yeast marketplace.
Now, according to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, U.S. Department of Treasury, the annual wine production was 64.83 million Gallons as of May 2018, and the figure is only going to observe increment in 2019. This opens up the yeast market in the U.S.
According to The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the household disposable income in most of the parts of Europe is going uphill with the annual growth rate between 1% and 5%. The expenditure of disposable income also attributes to alcohol consumption. Additionally, Europian countries have a culture of drinking wine with dinner. This makes Europe a huge target region for the yeast market revenue avenue, and evidentially, the region bears the yeast market share of 30-33% according to the business analyst of IndustryARC.
This increase in the disposable income and inception of weekend culture in most parts of the world is another reason because of which the yeast market is thriving.
Compared to petrol, bioethanol is more eco-friendly as it is manufactured from the agricultural, household, and other wastes, and yeast fermentation is part of the manufacturing process. Bioethanol, when mixed with petrol leads to complete combustion and reduces the pollutant emissions, thereby making the air healthy for breathing.
Now, according to WHO, 4.2 million people die as a result of air pollution, some of which is because of the vehicular air pollution. Developed countries like the U.S. and the ones in Europe have very stringent environmental regulations. This is making the application of bioethanol imperative. Many countries like the U.S. and Brazil are also using it as an alternative to petrol, which is opening up the yeast market in those regions. The regulations pertaining to vehicular pollution will be applicable to the developing countries in the near future which will further flourish the yeast market.
Protein-based drugs are the fastest growing drugs in the pharmaceutical industry as they cure people suffering from infectious, inflammatory, and cardiovascular diseases. Yeast fermentation is a part of the manufacturing process of these drugs. Now, a multitude of people suffers from these diseases annually. It opens up the market for pharmaceutical proteins which further strokes the yeast market.
Conventional yeast production utilizes harsh chemicals like sodium hydroxide, ammonia, and ammonium salts. It also uses synthetic vitamins that lead to vitamin poisoning and other side effects. Now, to ameliorate this, a lot of consumers are opting for organic yeast which is more healthy and superior than the inorganic one. Organic yeast is now used in a lot of bakery products which is already a huge marketplace for yeast.
Even though organic yeast is expensive, the consumers in developed countries like the U.S., the UK, and other European countries are opting for it. This is not only catapulting the yeast market growth in those regions but also the urban regions of developing countries where people can afford organic yeast. It also happens to be one of the reasons for the yeast market share in food application to be the highest 7%-8% according to IndustryARC's analyst.
Associated British Foods Plc is a market leader operating in the yeast and bakery products domain. Their yeast and bakery ingredients operated by AB Mauri witnessed a revenue of $1,915 million in 2017, which was more than the revenue in 2016, reported at $1695 million in 2016. This growth in revenue majorly attributed to the growing demand for bakery products.
Another player in the yeast market is Angel Yeast which posted the net profit of $847 million in 2017, an increase of 58.33% year on year.
Some other companies operating in the yeast market are Pakmaya, Bio Agro, CHR Hansen Group, Dakota Yeast LLC, Lallemand Inc, Leiber Group, Lesaffre Group, and Levapan Group.
The alcohol consumption, especially beer and wine is going to see a growth attributing to various factors like disposable income and weekend culture. Furthermore, with environmental regulations regarding air pollution coming into the picture, the demand for bioethanol in a lot of developed countries will increase. The ever-growing sales of baking products and the rising need for organic yeast and pharmaceutical proteins will propel the yeast market growth in the forecast period of 2019-2025.

Rob Kingsbury spoke to Chetan Ravalia , paraplanning manager, and Codie Smith, paraplanner at Cooper Parry Wealth, about where their roles fit in the firm's new operational structure, and their approach to paraplanning, including the onboarding of a new client.
In the July issue of Professional Paraplanner I talked to David Carroll, financial planner manager at Cooper Parry Wealth about the new structure brought in by the firm. David explained that it was designed to play to each individual's strengths. As such, it split the paraplanning role between paraplanners who relished client contact, which were renamed financial planners, and paraplanners who prefer the more technical, non-client facing role (see the box for more detail on the firm's roles post the restructure).
But I wanted to get a deeper picture and so arranged to talk with Chetan Ravalia (Chets), paraplanning manager, and Codie Smith, paraplanner, about how they are adapting to the new structure and provide some insight into their approach to paraplanning day-to-day.
I met Chets and Codie at Cooper parry Wealth's Birmingham office. Like the firm's East Midlands office, it is far from traditional, being open plan with themed meeting rooms and areas, designed to help break down traditional modes and inspire creativity and an open-minded approach to working, where everything can be challenged to make it better for clients and staff and so the firm. That is reflected in the recent blank-piece-of-paper approach that was taken to restructuring the business .
So how does the new structure work from the point of view of paraplanners now sitting in the financial planning and technical roles?
The paraplanners now termed financial planners, he adds, have responsibility for finalising the reports the paraplanners produce, they sit in on client meetings, are the second point of contact with the client after the relationship manager and have the day-to-day liaison with the client.
Using as an example the bringing on board of a new client, Codie says, that there is a defined five stage onboarding process. Once it has been determined that the client is the right fit for the firm and the fact find has been undertaken, it is the responsibility of the financial planner and the paraplanner assigned to that client to liaise and project manage the whole work. "So it will be with us to deliver on time, to a high standard. As paraplanners we'll complete the work based on the fact find and meeting notes. We like to complete our work to a 99% completion standard, the financial planner will go that extra mile adding finer detail and checking our calculations and recommendations, and then finally over to the relationship managers, aiming for 110% completion".
"From the fact find we need to understand what the client wants and what their objectives are – enough to build a financial plan," Chets continues. "The emphasis is on the paraplanner to take all the information from the fact find meeting and start putting our draft recommendations together.
An important part of the financial planner role is to project manage the rest of the team to ensure everything is running smoothly, Codie adds. This requires liaising with the client support associates, who work alongside the relationship managers in terms of obtaining all the paperwork that is needed as well as making sure the meetings are booked with the client, the meeting room is sorted, and all the necessary the letters of authority have been sent off and returned in time. The paraplanners will then liaise with the portfolio analysts and client support associates to ensure all analysis and information is in and we can start the planning process.
"We have a spreadsheet where we collate all the technical information, to ensure it is all analysed," she says. Part of that analysis is of the client's existing investments and that will be undertaken by a dedicated portfolio team, who analyse the investments both at outset and for review meetings.
Once the recommendations have been presented, before signing the client to the firm, a further meeting is arranged in order to give the client an opportunity to ask questions about anything they do not understand or on which they want more information.
"It gives the relationship manager and the financial planner a chance to chat things over with the client," Codie says. "It's really informal. We check the client is ok, where they stand, where we stand, and then the papers are signed. All our meetings include a tax adviser as well, who will look at any tax and estate planning issues." "Our client support associates attend these too, to ensure all the relevant paperwork has been signed and everything is in hand".
Relationship managers (previously financial advisers): Responsible for maintaining the relationship with the existing clients, bringing in new clients and business development. Ultimately responsible for the regulatory compliance of advice.
Financial planners (previously paraplanners): First point of contact for day-to-day queries. Accountable for the quality of all reports and suitability. Support the relationship managers.
Paraplanners (technicians): Responsible for analysis of clients' financial position, construct the advice underpinning each financial plan and creating the initial and ongoing and ad hoc suitability reports.
Client services associates: Responsible for administration, obtaining information, keeping clients up-to-date on progress and arranging meetings etc. Key members of the client-facing team.
Portfolio analysts: Undertake investment analysis, ongoing performance reporting and trading.


Jeff Greene has launched a new television commercial attacking fellow Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gwen Graham on her commitment to the environment, using references to a Miami megamall her family's business is involved with, suggesting she's profiting from what some characterize as a major environmental threat.
The reference is to the American Dream Miami megamall, which is being developed by the Triple Five Group. When completed, it will become North America's largest mall.
American Dream received approval from the Miami-Dade County Commission in May after a contentious battle during which opponents, citing its proximity to the Everglades watershed and other factors, dubbed it the "American nightmare." The mall is being developed on land partly owned by the Graham Companies, operated by Gwen Graham's family.
"Every environmental group is dead-set against Graham's mall," the commercial declares.
The commercial was launched Thursday night immediately after the Democratic gubernatorial debate. Greene's campaign declined to say how much money was being put behind it but said it was running statewide.
Graham's campaign characterized the ad as an attack on her and the Graham family – raising the prospect that Greene also is attacking her father, Florida Democratic icon former U.S. Sen. and former Gov. Bob Graham – And her campaign unleashed her surrogates to call Greene out on it.
The campaign also called the ad highly misleading, "slicing and dicing" pieces of the interview and taking them out of context.
"Jeff Greene is a billionaire developer who illegally refused to disclose how much interests he holds in oil companies who want to drill off our beaches and frackers who want to destroy our aquifer," State Sen. Linda Stewart added.
The former congresswoman from Tallahassee and the billionaire from Palm Beach face each other and Winter Park entrepreneur Chris King, former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in the Aug. 28 Democratic gubernatorial primary.
On Thursday during the Democratic gubernatorial debate in West Palm Beach, King criticized Graham over the mall and she responded by distancing herself from it, saying she has "removed myself from my family companies" by putting her interests into a blind trust.
But in the WFOR-TV interview used in the Greene commercial, Graham is asked if she thinks it's a good idea to build such a huge development on the edge of the Everglades.
She replies: "That project is something that has been through all the proper channels. … The proper channels have been followed." And then after she is asked if she will personally benefit she is shown appearing to hem and haw for a couple of seconds before the video cuts away.


So word on the street is you guys are expanding the brewhouse, can you share details?
We will be replacing our 3.5bbl brewhouse with a new 15bbl brewhouse currently under construction right now from a company called Brewbilt, based out of Nevada City. We are also upgrading our mill to behemoth from RMS and a much larger water filtration system to keep up with the bigger batches. With the larger system and tanks, we will be able to approximately double our production while potentially brewing slightly less than we do now. This is especially exciting because we can spend more time on even more quality control (actual QC, not just drinking haha). Next year we could potentially add a couple more 30 bbl tanks and add another 50% production, and at that point we'd be a fairly modest sized brewery. At that time we would want to reassess where we are in the mix of things to see if we really want to get much bigger than that and if so how, when etc.
Should Sacramento expect to find you at more retail/restaurants?
We've been very fortunate to have much of our outside sales come from accounts seeking us out but due to our incredibly small size we have to say no a lot more than we like to. Trust me that's a bummer to tell a good account, sorry but we don't have the beer to sell you. So yes, much of the production will be headed out to local bars and restaurants. It will also support us doing more bottled seasonals and possibly looking into different formats like six packs of cans so local grocery and liquor stores might see some more of us as well. Another option that we've explored is either expanded tasting room hours or even a second satellite tasting room, both of which would need a steady supply of beer.
Are you guys expanding distribution outside the Sacramento region?
We actually signed a very small distributer in the SF Bay Area this year but we've been having to hold them back extensively due to limited supply, so they will be getting some more beer as well. We've been approached by distributors from the north and the south but we don't have any plans for those areas yet. We want to continue to make the Sacramento area our top priority, as there is much more to be done locally.
What else can we expect from Bike Dog over the next year?
On the beer side, we are currently under pressure to just make enough of our core beers that it's hard to sneak in seasonals, one offs and get any extra beer for some barrels, so this should help on all those fronts. It will also give us the volume to be able to sell those fun beers to more accounts. Now we barely have enough for ourselves so not much of those make it outside of the brewery. The new system will also allow us to make kettle sours. For our colab with New Glory they actually made the wort (pre-beer barley juice) and we trucked our split back and fermented it at Bike Dog. Our little system lacks the controls to be able to control heat for the long rest the bacteria needs to sour the wort and we always brew double batches so we would have had to figure out how to sour two batches at once.

Former UConn Standout Jordan Todman Looking To Stick With Jets
By Desmond Conner
Jordan Todman is trying to stick with the Jets, his seventh team since being drafted in the sixth round in 2011. He has value as a running and solid kick returner
Jordan Todman lined up in his place to block on the kick return team during practice at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center on Tuesday.
The former UConn star sped to the start of the drill and through the finish like a free agent rookie but the 5-foot-10, 200-pounder who has dazzled in the NFL as a kick returner didn't get any cracks at returning.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — "I was off half today," Todman said after the Jets' indoor practice. "There's a lot of us back there. When we rotate I get kick returns, too. They have a lot of film of me and they've seen me do it a lot. When you have newer guys or guys that haven't done it a lot, it's an opportunity for them to see what everybody has."
Todman has done it all right, averaging 26.6 yards per return throughout his career, including 29.9 last season at Indianapolis. Returning kicks has been the primary way Todman, a two-time 1,000-yard rusher for the Huskies, has made it on the field in the NFL. Possessing 4.4 speed helps.
The Jets are Todman's seventh NFL team since the Chargers selected him in the sixth round in 2011.
"Obviously it's a blessing," he said. "I feel there are people who dream and work and strive to get a chance to play for one team. I've been blessed to play for multiple teams meaning, hopefully, I'm doing something right. The NFL is the best of the best and to make it to this level, compete and stay at this level is not easy."

The Jets are absolutely looking for a kick returner now that coach Todd Bowles announced Tuesday after practice that Lucky Whitehead is out indefinitely with a broken foot — less than a month after he was claimed off waivers.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported on Wednesday that Whitehead is expected to be out 4-6 weeks.
When asked if the team would look outside again for another player Bowles said, "We still got a couple guys we want to look at and then as we get down in it, if we don't see what we want we'll look for one."
Todman, 27, signed with Gang Green in June, primarily as a kick returner after racking up 972 yards on 38 returns for the Jaguars in 2014 and 712 on 26 returns for Jacksonville in 2013. Last year, he ripped off a 99-yarder for a touchdown, the first of his pro career, to open the game at Green Bay. It was also the first kickoff return the Colts had go for a TD since 2012. Indianapolis finished fourth in the league in kickoff returns.
A few years earlier, a memorable Todman flash covered 96 yards for a TD to shock the Fighting Irish at Notre Dame Stadium in 2009 in one of the biggest wins in UConn football history.
"He brings value to a team as a running back and a return team and a guy you can play on third down," said UConn coach Randy Edsall, who is still close to Todman and invited him to speak to the team recently. "When you take a look at the numbers people will like to keep around as running backs, he's a guy who should be in the mix because of the value he brings."
Todman played in all 16 games in his one season with the Colts yet he became a free agent when Quan Bray re-signed with the team this off-season. Todman became the man for the Colts on kicks when Bray went down with an ankle injury in October.

"I've been doing it," Todman said. "I love it. Any opportunity to get on the field and make a play with the ball in your hand. Kick return is a great place to start."
Todman loves running the ball, too, but he hasn't gotten much burn in the league lately as a running back. His eight carries (for 20 yards) in a 7-3 exhibition game win over Tennessee Saturday night were just one short of his total number of totes for the Colts all last season. His best season running the ball came in 2013 where he had 76 carries for 256 yards and two TDs, all career-highs.
It's unclear how many backs the Jets will keep. Matt Forte, Bilal Powell and sixth-round draft choice Elijah McGuire out of Louisiana-Lafayette are on top of the pile.
Todman, always measured, is hardly discouraged. He ran all the drills well and looked particularly good inside the 20 during a scrimmage.
"I feel like every camp we come in we have five or six backs and I have been able to let my play do the talking for me and do what I do on special teams, and when I get the opportunity and the ball is my hand be able to make plays or pick up blocks," said Todman, who rushed for 1,695 yards in leading UConn to the Fiesta Bowl in 2010 and becoming the first unanimous Big East Offensive Player of the Year pick since 1992.
"Hey, this ain't my first rodeo. I've been through it a lot but I control what I control and put my best foot forward and see where the chips may fall. Whatever the coaches may feel, if they find a way, if there's a possibility for me to help offensively with the ball in my hand, we'll go from there."
Todman has value. It's on film but no matter what happens, he said, he has enjoyed his time in the league so far and is thankful.

"It's been a growing experience," Todman said. "I've been able to meet and play with so many players — guys I played Madden with, being able to pick their brain, some of the best running backs. I've been able to see what football is like when you do it for a living, when you do it and your family is depending on you. When I played at UConn, I loved it. It was a great place to be, to learn, going into the NFL. I learned so much there.
"The main thing is that you have to give it everything you have because tomorrow is never promised and most importantly you have to tell yourself: control what you can control, worry about that. You can't worry about what the next man is thinking, what the next coach is thinking, you can only do your job and if you do it well everything will take care of itself."
That sounds like something Edsall would say.
"I always liked Jordan, he was special," Edsall said. "He was a guy who gave you everything he had. He was a worker and epitomized what you wanted in a player."

Douglas Joseph Cardinal  (born 7 March 1934) is a Canadian architect based in Ottawa, Ontario. His flowing architecture marked with smooth curvilinear forms is influenced by his Indigenous heritage as well as European Expressionist architecture. His passion for unconventional forms and appreciation of nature and landscape were present in his life from a very young age, and consequently developed into the unique architectural style he has employed throughout his career. Cardinal is perhaps best known for his designs of the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec (1989) and the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. (1998). He is considered one of Canada's most influential contemporary Indigenous architects.

Life
Born in Calgary, Alberta, to parents Joseph and Frances Cardinal, Douglas Cardinal is the oldest of eight children. His father was of Siksika (Blackfoot), French and Ojibwe heritage, while his mother was of German, French and Mohawk/Métis descent. His mother worked as a nurse and was well educated. Cardinal's parents met in 1926, and in the first half of the 20th century women had very little status and rights. The patriarchal society did not recognize educated women like Frances Cardinal. However, his father's tribe's societal norms accepted a matrilineal culture, where women are very respected and admired. These cultural ideas shaped Cardinal's upbringing and affected his worldview and relationship with his heritage. He has recalled that his mother told him at a young age, "You're going to be an architect."

Cardinal grew up a couple of miles outside the small city of Red Deer, Alberta. Cardinal was educated at  St. Joseph's Convent Catholic, a boarding school for children who lived in the country and wanted to go beyond the 8th grade, which was all that most one-room country schools offered. Cardinal finished high school there. The much-loved Daughters of Wisdom who ran the boarding school taught both Catholic and Protestant children there, and like many other boarders, Cardinal was taught about arts and culture by the Sisters. He has said that this religious school influenced him immensely. Living a few miles away from the rest of his family made him focus on his academic achievements. Traditional sacred architecture and its role in culture made him want to create spaces as powerful and inspirational as churches and basilicas. It also ignited in him a passion for architecture in those early years.

In 1953, he started studying architecture at the University of British Columbia (UBC) but was forced to leave two years later due to his radical ideas. His different approach toward architecture did not align with the ideas of modernism at the time. He wanted to create buildings responding to nature and the organic rhythm of life, which was unprecedented in the 1950s. In his third year of studies, he was told by the director of UBC that he had "a wrong background" for the program and the profession. After he left Vancouver and returned to Red Deer to start working at local architectural firms as a draftsman. His ejection from UBC made it impossible for him to apply to Canadian universities again. Cardinal also wanted a change of scenery due to racism towards Indigenous people in his home country so decided to head south, stopping in Arizona and Mexico, and later settling in Texas. Eventually, he attended the University of Texas at Austin, from which he graduated with a degree in Architecture in 1963.

In university, he also studied cultural anthropology, due to his cultural heritage and philosophy based on the sacredness of life and nature. He wanted to study people and did not feel that the buildings around him were designed around people. His philosophy was inspired by architect Rudolph Steiner, with whom Douglas studied at University of Texas. Steiner's work led Douglas to study anthropomorphism, which he applied to his work. The idea of anthropomorphism and its concept of responding to human behavior, natural cycles of life and the beauty of sacred land and tectonics aligned with Cardinal's cultural heritage. Another inspiration for Cardinal were works of Frank Lloyd Wright. He appreciated his organic way of responding to the landscape with the use of natural materials, such as stone and brick. In Texas, he accepted his Indigenous heritage and one of his professors even encouraged him to learn more about his background.

Career
Cardinal opened his private practice in 1964, and the same year he was commissioned to design St. Mary's Church in Red Deer, Alberta. Construction was completed in 1968, and it has since been recognized as a prominent example in the history of Canadian architecture. In 2007, the church was featured on a Canada Post stamp series featuring four Canadian architects to commemorate the centennial of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC).

Beginning with his work on St. Mary's, Cardinal was one of the first North American architects to use computers to assist in the design process. His curvilinear designs reflect the landscape around them, so that people making use of the building can retain a sense of the surrounding land. He found that the use of computerized design would fit best for his unusual designs and the use of shapes. He also found 3D programs very useful for laying out the exact dimensions of buildings.

In 1993, he was hired by the Smithsonian Institution as the Primary Design Architect for the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). The NMAI is currently situated on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and is directly across from the Capitol of the United States of America. After contractual disputes, Cardinal was removed from the project in 1998 before it was completed, but he continued to provide input into the building's design.

In 2008, his firm was hired by the Kirkland Foundation to design a museum/convention center in Union City, Tenn.  The Discovery Park of America was to be a unique structure housing a multi level museum with artifacts from across the nation as well as provide a place for large conventions/meetings for the community.  Early in 2009 the firm's contract was terminated with the owner, and all construction activity was halted, due to undisclosed differences between the two parties.

Architectural style and philosophy
Throughout his early years, Douglas Cardinal was dealing with racism and societal ideas of conformity for both his lifestyle and architecture. Only in his years in Texas he started to fully embrace his indigenous heritage and learn more about it. In 1970s Cardinal developed his trademark architectural style with organic curvilinear forms. In those years he started wearing native clothes and necklaces, as well as becoming an advocate for indigenous rights. This spiritual connection with his native culture affected and influenced his work and unique architectural approach. Many philosophical ideas of indigenous history include its respect and sensibility towards nature, humans' inseparable relationship with the environment and land. These concepts resulted in his use of natural materials, organic shapes, soil and sun studies, as well as creating spaces that move people spiritually and make them appreciative of their surroundings. The native philosophy is also very contrasting from the Western civilization worldview due to its use of time. It is appreciative of resilience of nature and its ability to withstand hard conditions. Therefore, its architecture aims to last for seven generations, as opposed to the economically driven and efficient approach of the patriachial society.

St. Mary's Church
St. Mary's Church in Red Deer, Alberta is Cardinal's first building. Upon his return to Alberta, Cardinal met with Father Werner Merx, who wanted the new church to be innovative and unique. The archbishop of the church has already appointed another architect for the job, but Merx insisted on hiring Cardinal and realizing his vision. The archbishop whom they needed to convince turned out to be Anthony Jordan, who helped to resolve legal case for Cardinal 10 years earlier. Douglas Cardinal was approved for a job.

The church has 750 seats inside and includes tubular skylights for natural daylight. Cardinal started his first project in 1967 and it turned out to be so challenging that he doubted if he could survive its completion. However, the building became one of his iconic designs that determined his architectural style. He combined all of his philosophical and cultural ideas and created a church that represented his many beliefs towards the nature and organic forms, that is unique and unprecedented for its time.

Canadian Museum of History
This building, opened in 1989 as Canadian Museum of Civilization at the time, is another project that is very representative of Cardinal's architectural style. Influenced by his indigenous heritage it focuses on the response to its surroundings. It is located on the banks of the Ottawa River, facing Parliament Hill. All the massive government buildings in the city center are clustered and turned away from the river. Cardinal opened the Great Hall towards the river, making it the only building in the area that is responding to it. This approach also translated into the wrapping facade with curves that can embrace and invite people inside and create welcoming environment. The envelope of the building is shaped in an organic form, as if sculptured by the forces of nature. He also wanted to acknowledge his appreciation for the Parliament by using the same limestone as the one used in the building. Besides responding to the site conditions, the museum also engages with its historic context by including totem poles and native murals inside the building. He wanted the space inside feel alive and dynamic, and not limit its form to the programmatic requirements. Former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau also encouraged Cardinal to create a museum where people embrace their different backgrounds and learn from each other. Prime minister's idea for multicultural Canadian society aligned well with Cardinal's vision. The overall concept and purpose of the building corresponded with his ideas. However, in 1984 the new Brian Mulroney government was not approving of Cardinal's design. He then lost his team on the project and was not fully paid for his previous work. This was a tremendous loss for the architect, but he was too driven to fulfill this project and was not willing to give up. After long years of defending his design, he eventually finished the museum and it became one of his many fundamental projects.

The Group of Seven
In 20th century, there were several artistic hierarchies, such as Canadian Group of Seven. Cardinal was part of a similar group that included some of Canada's most influential architects, such as Moshe Safdie, Raymond Moriyama, Eberhard Zeidler, Arthur Erickson, Ray Affleck and Ron Thom. This environment was encouraging for the architect and they often shared ideas and passion to create great architecture. Although all of their styles and conceptual vision were different, they all agreed on creating with meaning and beauty, instead of commercial skyscrapers of that era. However, his personal and financial problems often made him lose his direction and consequently he did not receive as much recognition as his peers. These instances include his design of the Grand Prairie Regional College in Alberta. Opened in 1974, this project did not meet government's simplistic and modernistic vision for the project and went over budget.

Personal life
Cardinal has been married four times and has eight children. After his return to Red Deer, Douglas Cardinal met his former high school sweetheart Deirdre. Her Irish Catholic family did not accept of their relationship because of his heritage and the two of them eloped. This also was a problem, because Cardinal had charges pressed against him as an interracial marriage was illegal at the time. He was defended by the archbishop lawyer Anthony Jordan and was not found guilty. Deirdre then was pressured to move back with her family, and was raising their first daughter alone.

Shortly before he decided to go the United States, he started a relationship with Carole Olson. She accompanied him on a road trip 1957 to Texas and they later got married. They had three children - Nancy, Guy and Bret. The couple split during their years in America due to his preoccupation with work. His son Bret is also an architect and has worked with his father for 25 years until he started his own architecture firm.

He married Marylin Zahar in 1973, with whom he had two children - Lisa and Jean-Marc.

His fourth and current wife, Idoia Arana-Beobide, is of Basque origin and 30 years his junior. The two met in 1988 when his designs for the Canadian Museum of History were being constructed. At the time, she was a tour guide for the museum and an international student taking a museum studies course at a local community college. Together they have two children and reside in Ottawa. His wife works as a director at his architectural firm.

Q: Android ListView Headers How do you make those standard header labels in the ListView Control?
An example would be in the contacts application you see the first letter of the grouped contacts for each letter in the alphabet.
If possible please provide some code snippets on how to construct the grouped data and the display of the ListView.

A: You can use my MergeAdapter or Jeff Sharkey's SeparatedListAdapter for that.
In the case of MergeAdapter, you would add an ordinary View (e.g., TextView) for a section header, then an Adapter for the contents of that section. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Everyone Is A Champion On Special Day
Posted on May 15, 2022 | 3 comments
Early fog could not obscure the smiles on the faces of hundreds of children — and adults — this morning at PJ Romano Field.
And it sure could not hide the joy of organizers. The "Day of Champions" returned after a 2-year COVID hiatus. And everyone was a winner.

The event is a fundraiser for Experience Camps — the national network of summer camps and year-round programming for children grieving the death of a parent or sibling.
Founded by Sara Deren and headquartered in Westport, it's a national non-profit. But today's "Day of Champions" — bringing together a couple of dozen teams, competing in a "color war" with games, contests, dancing and more — had a distinctly local flavor, with hundreds of participants and volunteers.
The "En Fuego team" was on fire. (Photo/Amy Shapiro)
Each team committed to raising $1,000. But the total for the day — $150,000 — blew that goal out of the water.
Grief knows no socioeconomic bounds. Every child attends Experience Camps for free. Events like today's make that possible.

Day Of Champions Returns. It's Quite An Experience!
In the past 2 years, over 200,000 children lost a parent or caregiver to COVID.
One in 13 children experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18.
Those statistics are sobering. So is the realization that most surviving youngsters feel different, isolated and alone.
Since 2009, Experience Camps has provided a way for boys and girls to share their grief — and move on from the trauma of losing a loved one.
The project grew from 1 site and 27 kids, to a network of 7 summer camps in 5 states serving more than 1,000 children, plus year-round programs. Because death and grief touch youngsters in all socioeconomic brackets, the entire week is free.
And it's headquartered right here in Westport.
Sara Deren traded a career in financial services for the challenge of developing Experience Camps. (Her "experience": Her husband Jon owned Camp Manitou for boys in Maine.)
Today she oversees all the camps, along with weekend retreats, leadership training and online sessions, from an office in Brooks Corner. She is proud that through friendship, teamwork and the common bond of loss, thousands of youngsters have gained confidence, regained hope — and begun to laugh and love life again.
The pandemic hit Experience Camps especially hard, though. In 2020, at the same time more children than ever were losing loved ones, the in-camp experience had to move entirely online.
Last year brought a limited program, with many restrictions. The fear of more illness was hard on kids who were already suffering. But they found joy in being together, with others who knew what they were going through.
A week at Experience Camp is filled with fun.
COVID also shut down Experience Camps' fun — and important — fundraisers.
In 2018 and '19, the first Day of Champions was held at Camp Mahackeno. Twenty teams of 12 to 15 people each — kindergarten through adult — competed in sponge races, an obstacle course, toothpick pickup contest with oven mitts, archery and other activities. It was like a huge camp color war.
Each team was asked to raise $1,000. Sara expected to make $20,000.
But the 2019 Day of Champions brought in $150,000.
"I was amazed and awed," she says. "They blew it out of the water. Everyone was incredibly committed — and very competitive."
On May 15, the Day of Champions returns. From 9 to 11:30 a.m., at a new site — PJ Romano Field, between Saugatuck and Kings Highway Elementary Schools — kids and adults will run, dance and hula hoop their way toward victory (dressed in vibrant, creative gear representing their team colors).
It's family-friendly — and fiercely (but fun) competitive.
The Day of Champions is filled with fun …
Michelle Yanover is among the Day of Champions' strongest champions.
The Westport mom has spent 31 years without her own mother. Laurie Goldfarb died at 33, after battling leukemia. Michelle was 7 years old.
"Over the years, I've learned you never get over 'it.' 'It' becomes part of your story, woven into the fabric of your whole being," she says.
"But given the right chance, love and support from unimaginable loss there grows strength."
Four years ago Michelle volunteered at Experience Camp. She experienced the magic that happens when a grieving child gets a week to be "normal" — while also getting support for their loss.
She was inspired by the work of the staff and counselors, and gratified by the smiles on campers' faces.
Michelle has already signed up a team for the May 15 Day of Champions (and wants hers to become the top fundraising team of all). She's eager to help the 7 summer camps (and other activities, including a meet-them-where-they-are moderated online space in Minecraft, that replicates camp).
… and games.
"Our fingers are crossed for a pretty normal summer ," Sara says. "There is a huge need. A lot of grief has been sitting in people's homes."
In addition to COVID deaths, more youngsters than ever have lost parents and siblings to suicide and overdoses.
"Those are alarming trends," Sara notes. "It's especially important, with stigmatizing types of death, for kids to have a place to go."
Which is why she urges as many people as possible to form teams for the May 15 Day of Champions.
"Two years off has built an amazing amount of anticipation," she says. "This will be one of Westport's first big post-pandemic events.
"It's spring. It's outside. It's a large gathering of the community, returning to joy, fun, silliness, costumes and music. That's such a great parallel to grief.
"And it's what we do every day at Experience Camps."

"Day Of Champions" Will Be Quite An Experience
Westport is awash in organizations that benefit young people — here, in the rest of Fairfield County, the country and the world. It's one of the strengths of our community.
Many throw fundraisers. Westporters support them generously, with time as well as money.
But most of these kid-focused groups' events don't actually involve young people themselves.
That's why Experience Camp's Day of Champions is so wonderful.
Not to mention unique, cool, and tons of fun.
Experience Camp
is the Westport-based network of summer camps for youngsters who have lost a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. The program builds confidence, encourages laughter, and allows them to navigate grief through friendship, teamwork, sports and the common bond of loss.
This year, Experience Camps will serve 1,000 boys and girls, at 5 locations from Maine to California.
Of course, running such a life-changing program costs money: $1,000 for a week at camp.
For much of its first decade, Experience Camps — founded by Westporter Sara Deren — relied on gala fundraisers in big cities, and foundation grants.
In 2017 Deren asked fellow Westport resident Gery Grove to help raise funds here. She teamed with Melissa Post, who like Grove loved the idea of the camp.
They thought about the usual events, like cocktail parties. But they realized the best way to raise money for kids was to involve kids themselves.
Together with a hard-working committee, they launched the first Day of Champions in 2018.
Fun at Experience Camps' Day of Champions …
Camp Mahackeno was the perfect venue for the camp-like color war/field day. Twenty teams of 10 to 15 people each (kindergarten through adult) competed in sponge races, an obstacle course, toothpick pickup contest with oven mitts, archery and others activities. Many wore costumes.
Points were awarded for spirit, fundraising, cheering and more. It was a joyful day — and it brought in over $150,000.
… and funny hair …
To participate, teams had to raise at least $1,000. Some were well over $25,000.
Organizers feared the first year might have been a fluke.
It wasn't.
Last year's Day of Champions brought in more than $225,000. Over the past 2 years, Westport's Michelle Yanover — who lost her mom at 7 — has raised over $45,000. Working with his New York Life firm, Grove's husband Matt added another $40,000-plus.
… and a tug-of-war …
This year's 3rd annual event is Sunday, May 17 (8 to 11:30 a.m.). Due to construction at Mahackeno, it's moved to another great location: Fairfield County Hunt Club.
Yet as fun and financially important as the Day of Champions is, there's another element that makes it special.
… and more fun. (Photos/Stephen Dodd)
"It teaches kids a lot," Grove says. "They learn there are other kids who need their support — kids who don't have their entire family here anymore.
"Kids get a chance to raise money for a resonant cause. And they have the best time doing it. Our lives are busy, but families come and do this together. Kids, teachers, parents, town officials — everyone puts concerns and differences aside for the day. It's a great time!"

Quite An Experience!
Experience Camp — the life-changing summer program for youngsters who have lost a parent or sibling, based in Westport and directed by our neighbor Sara Deren — held its 2nd annual Day of Champions yesterday, at Camp Mahackeno.
Over 450 kids and volunteers had an amazing time. And, amazingly, they raised over $183,000 for this great cause.
Here's how they did it.

New England Patriots Make Sara Deren A Winner
Whether you love the New England Patriots or loathe them, you gotta like this story.
Last Sunday, during halftime of the regular season finale versus the New York Jets, the team honored volunteers who make a difference in the world.
During every home game this year, they recognized a "Patriots Difference Maker of the Week." On Sunday, each received a $5,000 grant to support the nonprofits for which they volunteer.
And guess who got a special $20,000 grant — sort of a Super Bowl championship for all Difference Makers?
Sara Deren of Westport.
Jon and Sara Deren, and their children, at the Gillette Stadium halftime ceremony last Sunday.
She and her husband Jon founded Experience Camps. Headquartered right here in town, the organization runs summer camps for children grieving the death of a parent or sibling.
In just 10 years Experience Camps has grown from one site and 27 youngsters, to a network of 5 camps nationwide. Last summer, 200 volunteers served 600 boys and girls ages 8 to 18.
Doing all the typical camp activities — and, guided by clinicians, remembering the loved one who died while developing the tools they need to work through grief — Experience Camp campers enjoy life-affirming, life-changing opportunities.
The New England Patriots Foundation receives hundreds of nominations for Difference Makers each year.
When the Foundation — along with Pats chairman and CEO Robert Kraft, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Tippett — honored Sara on Sunday, it was a moment when, for once, Patriots and Jets fans could stand and cheer together.
Sara Deren is definitely a winner.
PS: So were the Patriots. They beat the Jets 38-3.

Bereaved Kids Enjoy Great Camp Experience
When Darren was 10 years old, his father committed suicide. Like many children who have lost a parent or sibling, he felt not only the sting of death, but isolation from his peers. He was different, he thought, from every other kid.
Fortunately, he attended Experience Camp. Every summer, bereaved youngsters come together for a week. Most of their time is spent in typical camp activities — swimming, arts and crafts, campfires.
But with the guidance of licensed clinicians, they find opportunities to share their life stories with kids who are just like them.
Darren did not say a word all week about his situation. Nevertheless, he came back the next year. And the year after. The year after that, too.
Finally — in his 4th summer at "ExCamp" — a counselor told Darren privately that he too had lost his father to suicide. Tentatively, Darren opened up.
The next year, Darren became a leader. Today, he's a counselor helping other kids share their own stories.
To Sara Deren, that's what ExCamp is all about. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, she says. But caring support allows hundreds of youngsters to move on from the trauma of losing a loved one.
Deren is a Westporter. And Experience Camps — which has grown from one site and 27 kids in 2009, to a network of 4 camps in New York, California and Georgia, with 200 volunteers serving 500 boys and girls ages 9 to 16 a year — is headquartered right here in Westport.
Jon and Sara Deren
Deren never went to summer camp. She had a high-powered career in financial services. But she married into a camp family. Her husband Jon owned Camp Manitou for boys in Maine.
Deren quickly learned about the wonders of camp. She and her husband also recognized that its high price prevented many youngsters from enjoying the growth of a summer in the woods.
In 2008 they formed a foundation, with the broad mission of providing a camp experience to those who could not afford it. When they learned that Tapawingo — another Maine camp — ran a bereavement program for girls, they realized they could fulfill their goal by setting up a parallel week for boys.
Experience Camp began the next year. It ran the week after Manitou's regular session ended.
Using crayons, campers express their feelings after someone very close has died.
It filled a crucial need. "For a kid, death can be incredibly isolating," Deren says. "Feeling 'less normal' than everyone else — and not having a way to express it — can lead to detrimental actions, sometimes years later. This gives kids a place where they don't feel alone. A lot of times it's the only place where everyone understands what they're going through."
Many campers return each year, Deren adds, "because grief changes too."
Darren — the boy who grew into a leader, after 4 years of silence — is one example of the wonders of Ex Camp. There are many more.
Steven's father spent years in a vegetative state after a car accident, before finally dying. A year later, Steven's mother succumbed to cancer. An only child with no other relatives, he was adopted by the woman who nursed his mother before she died.
Despite his horrific childhood, Steven had not lost his smart, articulate, mature personality. At the camp's talent competition he recited all the presidents' names — backward and forward — and held up a sign about running for president. He was named "Mr. ManEx" (Manitou Experience).
Campers rushed the stage to embrace him. "For the first time, he experienced a real family," Deren says.
He returns to Ex Camp every year, "paying it forward."
Deren serves as executive director of Experience Camps. Her office is in downtown Westport, right above Brooks Brothers (coincidentally, just down the hall from another Maine camp, Laurel).
She loves her work. Now — in addition to planning 4 summer sessions — she's looking ahead to year-round efforts. "We do camp really well," Deren says. "But we also want a way for kids to stay connected all year long."
One of her jobs is fundraising. No child pays anything — including bus transportation to and from camp.
It costs $1,000 for a week at camp. That's all covered, thanks to individual donations, foundation grants and fundraisers.
All the hard work is worth it.
"The feeling of fulfillment — of making a difference, and giving other people an opportunity to make a difference too — is fantastic," Deren says.
"Our supporters, our volunteers, our campers — everyone works together to create a microcosm of how the world should operate: with acceptance and inclusion.
"Being able to provide a way for kids to thrive, to find happiness and lightness in an otherwise dark time — what an incredible privilege."

A committee organization is just an elaborate means of fooling one's self into believing that a spell spent in talking is the same as a spell spent in thinking.
A man must have some goal to work for, or he is not likely to do much traveling.
Unless one can see and plan for a year or two ahead, one's business will not grow evenly and naturally.
The only danger in mapping the future lies in making the plans inflexible.
No end of sales reputations are established by salesmen taking the credit for the public resolutely refusing to be deterred from buying.
Not having enough money is always complicated!
A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a surplus is controlled by them and often he has no opportunity to exercise judgment.
I notice that when all a man's information is confined to the field in which he is working, the work is never as good as it ought to be.
I think the best way to settle trouble is face to face.
If you know absolutely that what you are doing is right, then you are bound to accomplish it in due season.
If there is any phase of adversity which our business has not met and beaten I should like to know it.
If anything in the business is wrong, the fault is squarely with management.
Almost every man tries to dodge thought or to find a substitute for it.
Power has to be transmitted before a wheel will turn.
If you ask yourself why you are in business and can find no answer other than, 'I want to make money,' you will save money by getting out of business and going to work for someone, for you are in business without sufficient reason.
I believe most men will make good if they find the work they are happy in doing.
The man or the woman who doesn't accomplish anything doesn't get much out of life.
Success is the sum of detail.
To do a better business than we did last year really is not much of a credit to us. We must compare what we are doing today with our opportunities of today.
The really valuable man is the one who is willing to take the change of eventually making himself worth a large salary.
An office is essentially a place in which to work. It is not a club and it ought not to be fitted up as a club – else it may turn into a club.
If we make a change in manufacturing or selling methods, will the added return pay the cost?
Vision, as I see it, is not dreaming forward. It is a thinking through with the values ever in mind.
Every change we made in sales methods brought results – and proved the new method.
[On taking time out from a business to work on the business rather than in the business] A man ought now and then to get far enough away to have a look at himself and his affairs. Otherwise he gets lost in the details and forgets what he is really doing.
Why is it that man, just as soon as he gets enough money, builds a house much bigger than he needs?
Sometimes it seems that it might be better to go back to those simpler days… But it cannot be done.
Educating the public to new ways is a difficult task.
The big profit in a new idea goes to the man who gets in first on the market, if he outlines the proper program. The public can be educated about the value of rubber tires, and it is the business of the man who makes them to find a way to put them out at a price low enough so people cannot afford not to buy them.
Good credit is one of the most vital assets of business.
To this day the laying on one stone upon another in the erection of a structure holds my attention.
It requires work, hard work, in any endeavor, to achieve success.
Advertising copy was never intended to serve as literature.
If I could get together enough money to open a little factory, I would make rubber tires. [His companion said 'The idea is right, Harvey, but that market isn't big enough. How many people are there, do you suppose, who know anything at all about rubber tires? And how many more would be willing to pay for them?'] But I had spent too many wakeful nights thinking over that matter to let him choke me off that way. To me the market was without limit, because the country was full of vehicles, and every man who owned a carriage was a possible prospect. That's the way it looked to my optimistic mind.
It is one thing to have a sound idea, and still another to pull it over.

The big heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora isn?t that far away.
The two collide, in Manchester on 26th July, with Chisora upping the ante by explaining to the media that he?s going to dismantle his taller opponent.
?He?s a big guy and I?ll be looking to smash his body up with my punches.?
?He?ll definitely fall from a body punch, he won?t be able to stand the heat that I?ll be bringing. I?ll be chopping him down like a tree. There?ll be no place for him to hide in that ring and I?ll be hunting him down until he?s got nowhere to go and I?ll nail him, by the time I?ve finished with him he?ll be the size as me!?
?I don?t want to hear any excuses from him after the fight, he?d better be ready because he?s getting knocked out.?
Will Chisora be able to execute his fight plan or will Fury have his match for a second time having already beaten him before?
