From farm to factory to feet
It ain't always easy to support American products, jobs, and traditions with your outdoor gear purchases. So much of our gear comes—at least in part—from overseas. But you could start by buying Farm to Feet socks, made from wool that was 100 percent grown, sheared, baled, scoured, carded, superwashed, spun, and knit right here in the U.S. of A.

There's a place, way down east in Jamestown, South Carolina, where wild wool goes to get scoured, spiffed up, and ready for a transformation. It's a factory on the banks of a river, and it smells like a potent cocktail of farm animals and grease. It's called Chargeurs Wool USA, and its a long way from where the wool started its journey.
That was a soaring, sagebrush-smelling, charming Old West sheep shearing camp in a place called Hay Hollow, Wyoming. Over two short days, in the wind and sun, 2,000-plus western-bred Rambouillet sheep farted their way into a mobile sheep-shearing "plant," where an Uruguayan shearing team relieved them of their fleeces. The wool—all 45,000 pounds—then traveled in bales on a flatbed truck southeast, across the country. Twenty, 30, or maybe 50 hours later, it ended up at the only wool washing and processing plant in America, Chargeurs, along the Santee River.
Since 1955, Chargeurs has specialized in turning "greasy wool"—the stuff straight off the sheep—into "wool top"—clean, gorgeous, silky wool ready to become garments and socks. But before raw wool can become garment wool, it goes through several processes.
The fluff that looked so enticing back in Wyoming now floats in a tub of boiling hot water. It's a burbling soup of mud, "vegetable matter" (sagebrush, twigs), and lanolin (wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals).
Wool's intensive 10-step transformation from greasy to glorious
From greasy wool to lanolin soup to squeaky clean. Geek out with us on how wool goes from knotted with poop and twigs to squeaky clean.
Big metal rakes, unchanged since the 1600's "open" the wool and agitate out the gunk. It'll go from this tub into another before being "carded" (disentangled and cleaned again), "combed" (further refined, losing short fibers and more vegetable matter), and "superwashed" (chlorine-treated to become shrink-free). Shortly thereafter, it'll become "wool top," a long, luxurious wool fiber rope resembling the several-stories-long braid of an overrated Disney damsel in distress.
Once clean, this wool will then embark on yet another journey, to one of several sock mills that dot the east coast. So many outdoor performance socks spring from the Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina corridor that Robert Thomas, Smartwool's product line manager, once proclaimed it "the Silicon Valley of socks."
Today, Goodhew, Teko, Farm to Feet, Woolrich, Patagonia, FITS, Darn Tough, and other outdoor sock companies all either knit their own socks or have them knitted by hosiery mills along the East Coast. And if any of these socks employ American wool, the raw material comes here, to Chargeurs, first.
In the American wool supply story, wool must pass through many hands—in turn, employing many American workers—on its journey from sheep to apparel. It's an interesting tale, even if you don't geek out on textiles and lanolin.
Sheep ranching is as old as wagon trains and westward expansion. But wool sock-making predates the Civil War. (Woolrich started making socks in 1830). And without this piece of the puzzle—cleaning and processing the wool, spinning it, and knitting it—the ranchers back in Wyoming would lack a home for their product.
Local jobs for a local economy
"Jamestown," where Chargeurs is located, "is not so much a town as a crossroads with one stoplight," says Diego Paullier, the company's commercial manager. Jamestown's neck of the woods is "pretty rural, so we get people from a 20-mile radius wanting to work at Chargeurs." Other area jobs include grocery store or gas station clerk, daycare provider, or department store salesperson.
All these jobs are minimum-wage, offer no benefits, and therefore offer little stability for workers. Chargeurs employees, on the other hand, get "a living wage, health insurance, and 401K," says Paullier. In an era in which the U.S. has outsourced five million factory jobs since 2000, the plant employs 60 full-time factory workers. "It's not a huge number," concedes Paullier. "But it translates to supporting 60 families."
Chargeurs in Jamestown, South Carolina, is the only wool cleaning and processing plant in the United States.

First-, second-, and even third-generation families take one of three eight-hour, five-day-a-week shifts, driving forklifts, scouring wool, working as mechanics, engineers, in management, or as quality control operators, before some of them trade shifts with other family members. David Cooper, 83, for instance, has worked at Chargeurs for 62 years; his son, Roy, for 35 years; David's daughter Norma Morris, for 19 years; and Norma's stepson, Ken, for four years.
From "wool top" to wool socks
Once the wool is clean—it's a rigorous, multi-step process (see Gallery, above)—it's wound into a long, silky, off-white "rope" reminiscent of Rapunzel's braid. Then it's coiled into round blue bins, each weighing around 200 pounds, and shipped to a spinner, who'll turn the "wool top" into wool yarn, and send it to one of the knitting mills on the east coast.

Nester Hosiery, in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, is one such mill.
Ten thousand people live in the town that looks out at Pilot Mountain, a metamorphic quartzite peak topping out at 2,421 feet.
The median household income in 2015 was roughly $33,000. Textiles boomed in the 1970s and '80s, like they did up and down the East Coast, but they took a hit when NAFTA went into effect in 1995. By the early 2000s, several large U.S. sock manufacturers, including Fruit of the Loom and Haines, moved overseas for cheaper labor.
Nester, however, kept jobs in Mt. Airy. It opened in 1993, with fewer than 20 employees; that number now reaches 190—and balloons above 200 during busy seasons.
Marty Nester founded Nester Hosiery in 1993.
"Working here is a sought-after arrangement," says Kelly Nester, the company's CEO. But it took Nester Hosiery's founder Marty Nester's vision to make it so.
As a young man, Marty did shift work at Renfro before climbing his way into leadership roles, after which Brown Wooten Mills hired him away. In 1993, he left Brown Wooten to start his own "greige knit mill," which sells "unfinished" socks to other hosieries.
But thanks to NAFTA, in 1995, he started seeing his customers either close shop or take their business overseas.
In both cases, they no longer needed Nester. So, Marty decided to become a vertically-integrated, full-fledged hosiery manufacturer, specializing in wool—not cotton—socks. After a few years, he took it a step further and began specializing in outdoor performance socks.
Kelly Nester, CEO of Nester Hosiery
Kelly Nester joined the company around then, too. The uncle and nephew team "began knocking on doors of outdoor retailers, looking to partner with existing brands to make wool socks," says Dave Petri, Nester's vice president of marketing. Their first big accounts: Bass Pro, Cabela's, and the Boy Scouts of America. By 2000, they had close to a dozen accounts, says Petri.
Keeping up with the Nesters
The Nesters were early adopters in a major technological sock advancement: a machine that could knit socks with seamless toe closures. This not only improved the fit of socks and eliminated friction inside them, it cut out one manudacturing step, says Kelly Nester. Instead of closing the toe of each and every sock by hand, a machine could make quick work of the job.
Then they developed an innovative software system that let them trace each sock through the entire manufacturing process. "As we were becoming more and more involved as a major supplier in the outdoor industry, one of the things that became very apparent was that customers wanted more traceability in their supply chain," says Kelly Nester.
The first 100-percent American-made sock
The idea of traceability blossomed from there. "We realized that if we worked hard enough we could make a 100 percent made-in-America sock," says Dave Petri. "Not just the wool, but the nylon, the spandex, and the Lycra."
By 2010, Petri says they were ready to "control their own destiny," so they created the Farm to Feet brand.
Nester, as a company, was already committed to the idea of manufacturing transparency. Kelly Nester had the idea to send a pro photographer to shoot each step of the manufacturing process. In essence, those pictures created Farm to Feet.
One of the original images commissioned by Kelly Nester. "These images made us realize that our brand could be about the story of how socks were made – the materials, the manufacturing, and the people behind them," says Dave Petri of Farm to Feet.

More and more Americans are becoming conscious of where their products come from, says OIA's policy adviser Andrew Pappas. In fact, a recent Outdoor Industry Association Consumer Vue study shows that 30 percent of U.S. outdoor consumers are willing to pay more for products made in America.
Farm to Feet caught on with consumers embracing the idea of traceability. The growth curve is impressive: By 2014, the company had quadrupled in size; in 2015, it grew by 50 percent; last year it grew by 90 percent. "And this year," says Kelly Nester, "we're projecting 65 percent growth."

Nester is a family-run affair, from Marty, the founder, to Kelly, the CEO, to Kelly's brothers, Keith and Kerry, also company executives, to Marty's son, Dane, Farm to Feet's new product designer. They're proof—like the sheep ranching families—that sometimes the best products are created by people who've made them for generations. Farm to Feet's traceability also explains its explosive growth in the four years since it's formed.
Brendan Madigan, who owns Alpenglow Sports, a specialty outdoor retail shop in Lake Tahoe, California, says Farm to Feet socks are "a highlight in our store."
"The sock category is one of the most competitive and challenging in the outdoor industry, but Farm to Feet gives people a reason to purchase their product," he says.
"As the world grows more apart and polarized, people are voting with their dollar. Positive messaging—like Made in America—sets brands apart. When a brand like Farm to Feet backs their message up with action and good product at a fair price, everyone wins—most importantly, the customer."
Nester has 250 specialized knitting machines.

Mary Kathleen
Mary Kathleen, was a uranium mining town, about mid way between Mount Isa and Cloncurry in western Queensland, in the Cloncurry Shire.
The Mary Kathleen uranium discovery was made by Clem Walton and Norm McConachy in 1954, and named after McConachy's wife. Prospecting and exploitation rights were subsequently onsold, and in 1955 Rio Tinto Mining formed Mary Kathleen Uranium Ltd to develop a mine and service town. An architect-designed town grew during 1956-58, with reticulated water from a dam, Lake Corella.
The ore was mined by the open-cut method and processed on site. The town, six km away, was built around a shallow valley with a post office, cinema, sports ovals, a school, banks and a community store. By 1963 the major supply contract signed with the UK Atomic Energy Authority had been satisfied ahead of schedule, and large reserves of ore lay at grass. Consequently, the works were closed down. New supply contracts with Japanese, German and American power utilities prompted a re-opening in 1974, with Mary Kathleen's second life extended to 1982 when reserves were finally exhausted. The site was rehabilitated, and most of the buildings sold and removed. The site became well known for fossicking and gem-stone collecting, and numerous relics are held in the Cloncurry/Mary Kathleen Memorial Park and Museum in Cloncurry.

This is a piece of fan art of Esme Creed-Miles as the titular heroine from the new Amazon primevideo TV series, called Hanna, as she appears in the first episode, Incidentally, this series is based on a 2011 film of the same name.
I'm currently in the process of watching Hanna for the second time. I think it's a pretty good show. The storyline and action sequences are nothing out of the ordinary, but the characters are interesting, the acting is top notch (especially Esme Creed-Miles) and the visuals (some of them filmed on location in Europe and Africa) are fantastic. The soundtrack is nice as well. I recommend it if you are a fan of action girls and The Fugitive-type stories.

Our Healthy Communities Program provides culturally-appropriate education to the African American and Latino communities on cancer prevention, screening and the importance of participating in clinical trials. Our health educators hold informational sessions on cancer health topics, participate in community events, and connect community members with health care resources available to them.
According to the National Cancer Institute, tobacco use increases the risk of developing cancer and other diseases and causes nearly 1 in 5 deaths in the United States. Diseases like lung cancer caused by smoking kill more African Americans and Latinos than illegal drugs, alcoholism, murder, suicide, and HIV/AIDS combined. The Healthy Communities Program provides information to the public about smoking cessation using the "Clear Pathways" smoking cessation guide and interactive lung models. We also connect current smokers to the Tennessee Tobacco QuitLine for free counseling to establish a personal quitting and maintenance plan.
Screening tests can help find cancer at an early stage. When cancer is found early, the chance of recovery is higher and the range of treatment options available is wider. African American and Hispanic women die more often due to late diagnosis than other populations. The Healthy Communities program offers informational sessions to groups and organizations in the community about the importance of tests for the early detection of cervical (pap smear), breast (mammography), lung (computed tomography) and colon (colonoscopy) cancers.
Clinical trials are research studies that try to find better ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer. Only 2-3% of all adults with cancer participate in clinical trials including very low participation of people from the African American and Latino communities. The Healthy Communities Program offers town hall meetings with informational sessions to groups and organizations about the benefits of participating in clinical trials and how to find open clinical trials locally or nationally.
Contact us for more information or to schedule a time for us to bring these free informational sessions to your organization or group. We will come to you!
Our Healthy Communities Program outreach and educational efforts are led by health educator Claudia Barajas and supported by a team of "Promotoras," lay community members who have received specialized training to provide basic health education in their communities.

Electronic Health Records (EHR, EMR)
With athenahealth's founder and CEO Jonathan Bush out of the picture, what's next?
Analysts predict a final price will be more than the original $6.5 billion takeover bid while athenahealth's executive chairman Jeff Immelt says sale, merger or remaining independent are all options.
By Bernie Monegain
With athenahealth founder and CEO Jonathan Bush out of the picture, after having stepped down from the healthcare company he founded and led for 21 years, speculation about what's next is rampant.
Bush stepped down on June 6, culminating months long-pressure from activist investing firm Elliott Partners and recent accounts of sexual misconduct involving women
Bush resigning increases the probability that athenahealth will be bought, David Larsen, an analyst at Leerink Partners, wrote in a note to clients the same day Bush exited.
"The board will be more focused on maximizing shareholder return," Larsen said.
For its part, Elliott said it welcomed the news that the company would consider a sale, although a statement issued by athenahealth said it could also opt to stay independent. Another option? A merger.
"We have long believed that athenahealth is a great company, and we look forward to participating as a bidder in the company's strategic exploration process," the investment firm said in a statement.
Elliott's May 7 proposal would value athenahealth at $6.46 billion. Other large investors have also supported the company exploring a sale.
Piper Jaffray analyst Sean Wieland said athenahealth is still in a strong position, and expects any sale to be more than the $160 per share that Elliott has proposed.
"I think there's better growth days ahead for the space as a whole, and in particular that there's better growth days for athena," Wieland stated in his memo. "They're a disruptive software company in an industry ripe for disruption."
[Also: Athenahealth CEO Jonathan Bush leaves, board says it will consider sale or merger]
Bush built athenahealth, based in Watertown, Massachusetts, by taking on what he called "the back-office scutwork" that relieved small hospitals and doctors to do what they do best – take care of patients.
As athenahealth considers its options and embarks on the search for a new CEO, former GE CEO and athenahealth chairman Jeff Immelt, has been appointed executive chairman.
"To ensure athenahealth maximizes shareholder value and is best positioned to realize the full potential of its premier healthcare technology platform, the board has authorized a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives, including a potential sale or merger or continuing as an independent company under new leadership," Immelt said in a statement. "We approach this process with an open mind and a commitment to continuing to strengthen the company."
Piper Jaffrey's Wieland speculates on which companies might be best suited to acquire athenahealth.
He suggested that as a vertical SaaS company, potential buyers are many. They include mega software companies such as Microsoft, Oracle or Salesforce. He noted that financial buyers are also keen on the company's recurring revenue and strong ability to drive incremental margins.
"We believe there will be no shortage of bidders and with a $160 bid per share from Elliott Management on the table, $160 is the downside here," Wieland added. "We are raising our price target to $179."

I think that you could run any Category-1, 5-foot bush hog behind your N with few issues.
The two things you need to be aware of are that all modern bush hogs use a 1-3/8" PTO connection and if your N is still factory stock, it will have a 1-1/8" PTO, so you will either have to replace the PTO shaft or buy an adapter. Two, you need to run an Overrun Coupler (ORC) between your PTO gear and bush hog drive shaft. If you can find an ORC that also adapts 1-1/8" male to 1-3/8" female (assuming you have the original PTO shaft) would be ideal.


There are periods, things, events in life that overwhelm me with their significance to the point that I find myself utterly lost for words, unable to distill the sheer immensity, depth, complexity into a finite collection of letters. Our wedding was such an event. The past seven months of pregnancy have been such a time. Now in my eighth month, I can feel this time drawing to a close and I know I will kick myself in the future if I don't attempt to give it even the most fleeting description here. So forgive this vain attempt, this rambling yet also inadequate pass at something resembling an account.
Though I am a trained doula, and though I have educated myself ad nauseam on the subjects of pregnancy and birth, there are pieces that can only be truly understood when they occur in ones own body. I couldn't have imagined the feeling of this little being turning, pressing, kicking and rolling within me. It is at once magical, alien, familiar, painful, and joyous. I couldn't have prepared for how it would feel to carry such a large belly (and how difficult it now is to breathe), or how my body has changed. It is at once surreal, occasionally horrifying, awe-inspiring, and empowering. I am amazed by the complete, devotional love and tenderness Jacob already has for our child. It is humbling, moving, vindicating, and makes me so, so grateful for this wonderful man who shares my life and who is now the father of my child. I will never forget the feeling of having a secret all of my own, of never being alone, of familiarity with this person I have never met because we are one.
Less than eight short weeks from our due date now. I know they will fly by, but that the discomforts of late pregnancy (good god, the heartburn, the suffocation, the sleeplessness, the overheating, the feeling and sight of my entire body swelling up like a puffer fish, the rollercoaster of hormones…the list goes on) will make it seem an eternity as well. I've been keeping a journal since about week 10, jotting down notes on my emotional state, physical changes, swirling thoughts, and somehow inadvertently logging the changes in my garden. In the past, I've always felt too hampered by the responsibility of journaling to keep it up for long, but now I've allowed myself to write as the desire or need strikes. Reading back over my entries, it is interesting to see the ups and downs of pregnancy plotted out like the ebb and flow of a tidal chart. I can say that on the whole, the experience of growing a new life inside of me has been one of joy and positivity. Certainly there have been physical challenges, and times of emotional strain, but I know these will fade away in memory, dissolving into the warm waters of remembered happiness.
I can't wait to meet this tiny human, to discover who they are, to suffuse myself in their smell, to press their soft skin to my face. Soon little baby, soon.

Netflix Canada to compete with on-demand content
The trumpets are sounded. The battle is on. Netflix has launched a Canadian movie and TV series subscription service at $7.99 a month, in competition with Canuck broadcaster and cable websites lately ramping up their free on-demand content.
By Etan Vlessing
The trumpets are sounded. The battle is on.
Netflix has launched a Canadian movie and TV series subscription service at $7.99 a month, in competition with Canuck broadcaster and cable websites lately ramping up their free on-demand content.
And the result has Netflix and other Internet streaming players shelling out evermore money for Canadian content.
"If we're willing to write cheques for content, we can get the content. There's no problem in principal, because we're willing to license content," Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings said Wednesday on the availability of Canadian rights for popular movie and TV fare in a geo-gated world.
Netflix Canada already has content supply deals with Canadian producers like Lionsgate, Alliance Films, Maple Pictures, Entertainment One and Mongrel Media, as well as stateside deals with MGM Studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Pictures.
Hastings said Netflix targeted Canada for expansion a year ago on the basis of its high broadband penetration and movie consumption.
And the U.S. online streaming/DVD delivery giant in August agreed to pay nearly $1 billion annually to premium channel Epix in a five-year deal covering online rights to films from Canadian mini-studio Lionsgate and partners Paramount Pictures and and MGM.
As Epix has not yet marched on the Canadian market, Netflix negotiated individually with Lionsgate, Paramount and MGM for the Canadian rights to their content.
The result is Netflix Canada will offer the first three seasons of Lionsgate's Mad Men series, while the popular AMC drama isn't yet available through Netflix's U.S. service.
Also in the Netflix Canada lineup is the first five seasons of The Trailer Park Boys mockumentary, and animated series from Nelvana like Babar and Franklin.
Hastings said the strategy of Netflix Canada is to offer the most content at a low $7.99 price point to sign up as many Canadian subscribers after a one-month free trial period.
"It's the lowest and most aggressive price ($7.99) we've had anywhere in the world for unlimited movie and TV shows," he said.
That said, the bulk of Netflix Canada's offerings will be library titles, not the first-run TV shows on CTV, Global Television and Citytv, or the latest DVD blockbuster releases at the corner video store.
For new product, Netflix Canada looks to be waiting to build up its subscriber base north of the border, and then write bigger cheques for newer content from its suppliers.
"We provide a low-cost service with vast selection of movies and TV shows. But for the newest new (movie) releases, within a week of DVD releases, that would be extremely challenging at this low price point," Hastings explained.
Here the Netflix boss pitched his $7.99 online movie and TV service as a bicycle to local broadcast and cable giant's cars, and that Canadians may want to have a bicycle and a car in their garage when it comes to living room viewing.
Hastings would not be drawn for comment on rivals like Rogers Communications and Bell Canada earlier reducing their bandwith caps for subscribers on news that Netflix was to enter the Canadian market with its online video subscription service.
"You'd have to ask them why they (cable and phone companies) are doing certain things. But over 30 years, the Internet will just grow and grow. There will be pricing and caps, but it's hard to hold back the technology," he said.
Hastings added that Netflix codes its content offerings to help guard against subscribers bumping up against bandwith caps with their movie and TV show consumption.
Netflix Canada will also not seek programming exclusivity. "It's fine when it's distributed on appointment TV and it's fine when it's distributed over us," Hasting said.
Netflix is also betting that Canadians will already have reception technology to receive the new online video streaming offering, from Nintendo's Wii, Sony's PlayStation 3 and eventually to Microsoft's Xbox 360 console, to Blu-ray disc players and iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch platforms.
Netflix Canada will be available to Canadians initially only in English, as the U.S. company is taking its time to line up the rights to French-language content.

There are many benefits to adding a fence to your property.
There are so many diverse applications for fencing that choosing the right one for you can be overwhelming. Iron, vinyl, and chain link are all popular amongst homeowners, while wood is a longtime favorite with a classic appeal. Wood fence has innumerable applications because it can be cut to any size or shape and be painted to be any color. This is why wood fence is commonly used on a vast number of properties. You can achieve that classic white picket fence look and numerous others. Wood fence is a material with numerous benefits.
Wood fence is one of the most affordable materials you can build a fence with. Other popular options, including wrought iron, are far more expensive to produce and time-consuming to install.
If you're looking for a beautiful fence that will stand the test of time, choose wood. Professionally installed wood fence can last for decades when given the proper care and seasonal maintenance. This type of fencing is an amazing investment for your property, as it will add both monetary value and a comforting warmth.
Wood fence is infinitely adaptable. It can be painted any color or stained in any shade to suit your personal tastes, needs, and landscape design. This means that you don't have to worry about whether or not your fence matches the rest of the landscaping and hardscaping involved in the look of your property.
Wood fence does increase your home's curb appeal, but it also does a lot more for your home than you'd think. Aside from delineating boundaries in a stylish way, a protective element, and being infinitely customizable so that your fence has no problem easily keeping up with the evolution of your property and changes in your taste, it increases the property value significantly. A beautiful wood fence can set your home far above the competition if you are trying to sell it.

The Green Wedding: Daunting or Doable?
In this day and age, "green" is in and being eco conscious is becoming more popular but what is a green wedding and can you have one while staying true your dream day?
To feel comfortable committing to a green wedding, most couples want to know what exactly a sustainable wedding entails. What does sustainability in the wedding industry mean?
Planning an eco-friendly wedding is now more accessible then ever. With access to local and sustainable vendors, its very easy to ensure the items for your wedding are environmentally friendly.
In planning a green wedding, couples need to think locally, sustainably and use the less is more motto. Examples of this are having a plated dinner over a buffet or a lunch time wedding to take advantage of natural lighting rather than using electricity.
With the industry becoming more conscious, there are so many green options for your day! Take Victoria BC for example who has everything from green venues to eco friendly hair and make up. Eco-friendly venues like the Inn at Laurel Point ,which is carbon neutral, or The Parkside Hotel & Spa which is built to LEED's standards make for a great space for your day.The Green Kiss and Elate cosmetics both offer amazing natural products that are ethical and eco for brides and Elena at Conscious Hair does stunning bridal hair using sustainable, eco and ethical hair product. These are just a few of the many green options offered here which range from farm to table food sources to ethical makeup and everything in between. This just shows the abundance of vendors tapping into the green market and how accessible an eco wedding can be.
Do not let this seem daunting as it isimportant to remember you can still have everything you dreamt of for you day and it does not have to be all or nothing. Being conscious of your choices and selecting as many green items as you can makes a difference and should be celebrated!
You many not be able to get everything you need or want for your day in an eco-friendly way but every bit helps. The main idea of a green wedding is to reduce your weddings carbon foot print as much as possible.
What is the hardest part of trying to plan a green wedding?
Planning a wedding can be very stressful, emotional and costly. Many couples feel pressured to keep all their guests happy and can get caught up in trying to stay up to date with all the ever changing wedding trends.
With weddings being both financially and emotionally taxing, couples can feel overwhelmed and a little lost. Planning a green wedding may seem daunting at first, especially if it is a new concept to you.
The initial planning stages are typically the most difficult for any wedding. For many couples, this is their first time planning a wedding so most aspects are foreign to them and then you add the green aspect which may also be a new concept to them.
Once you get through the initial planning stages and have a vision, the green aspect will be easy to incorporate into that vision. Even better is that following the "less is more" motto can actually help you save money. Planning a green wedding will ensure you are only buying the items you really want rather then getting sucked into the "I need it all" idea.
One may argue that aside from the planning, finding green items for all aspects of your wedding is the most difficult. Do not let this deter you from having a sustainable wedding. Every little aspect helps!
If your feeling stuck, hiring a planner can help to alleviate the stress of planning and ensure that you have all aspects of your day covered. While eco-friendly weddings are an emerging idea, you can certainly find environmentally friendly vendors to help make your vision come to life.
Why plan a green wedding?
There are many reasons couples choose to have a green wedding that go beyond leading a green lifestyle.
Many couples choose to have a green wedding to lessen their impact on the environment. In this day and age, it is hard to ignore the fact that global warming is a serious issue and people are choosing to live in a more eco friendly manner.
Having a green wedding makes a statement and for couples who choose to live in an eco friendly manner, they are able to incorporate this part of them into one of the most important days of their lives.
The other reasons couples choose to go green is because it allows them to cut costs using the "less is more attitude" and because green weddings are unique and allow for creativity. With this being such a new theme to the wedding industry, couples are able to be creative and have a day like no one has seen!
Having a green wedding also helps the local economy and helps eco friendly businesses to grow. With all these benefits, having a green wedding allows couples to feel guilt free about their day.
So,The Green Wedding: Daunting or Doable?
A green wedding is totally doable! It can be daunting at points and having the "all or nothing" is not the one to take when planning an eco wedding.
It is important to do as much as you can in a green manner but as this is an emerging idea, you may not be able to get all the items you want for you day in a green manner.The bottom line is, anything you can do to reduce the size of your wedding's carbon footprint is a win. Be creative, have fun with it and remember there is always a planner if you are over whelmed.
With couples becoming more and more eco conscious, this will be a theme you will see more and more in weddings. Its an exciting time to be a vendor or couple in wedding industry as this will be a big turning point.

Become a Smarter Player with Agility Training
0	 Matt Couch NASM-YES, ISSA-SSC Sep 26, 2016 12:52 pm
Time and experience – two elements that coaches and trainers tell players they need in order to become more intelligent in soccer. The more time you spend playing soccer the more experience you will have in challenging situations. Challenging situations will require the player to adapt and learn how to respond to the given situation. The problem: this is only half-true.
Take, for example, 1 v 1 attacking which is a common challenge amongst young soccer players. The more time and experience players have with 1 v 1 attacking the quicker they will learn and develop techniques and tactics for beating defenders in 1 v 1 situations.
However, this is only half the equation. The key lies in what psychologists call "deliberate practice" – or, more quality and cognizant practice. In a 2003 study conducted by The School of Human Movement Studies at The University of Queensland researchers found that players who practiced sport-specialized training were more likely to be proficient than those who chose broader sport practice.
This means players who face more specific challenges having to react to the demands of a sport are more likely to develop cognitive retention, using failure and corrective movement as tools to mental development. When players do make mistakes in practices and individual training it should be looked at as mental development points, and trainers and coaches should encourage players to continue new tricks and tactics and not to give up.
Recent studies have linked agility training to mental development and decision making. Ian Jeffreys explains this further in his article A Task-Base Approach to Developing Context-Specific Agility.
"To perform well in sport, the brain has to develop optimal synaptic linkages that directly link the areas responsible for the decision making processes with those involved in optimizing the physical responses." (Jeffreys, 2013)
What is synaptic linkage? It is the signal between neurotransmitters in the brain that drive physiological actions. The more often an action is performed, the stronger the signal grows between neurotransmitters
Consistent and repeated movement may help players develop necessary synaptic linkages to carry over into a game. To help players develop necessary synaptic linkages use soccer specific agility movements that are done with and without a soccer ball, and with and without defensive or offensive pressure. Drills could include movements through an agility ladder while incorporating dribbling or passing, and eventually adding a defender.
Along with the ability to perform better, players could also expect to develop more precise and quick brain function. This is supported by research done on the difference between agility training (AT) and physical training (PT) by Dr. Jynette Lennenmann et al, and published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
"The primary findings show that 6 weeks of AT resulted in significant within-group performance improvements in cardio-respiratory capacity, physical agility, sustained attention, and working memory (both in accuracy and speed), although 6 weeks of traditional PT did not."- Lennemann et al, 2013
The more a player practices specific agility movements that occur in games, the more the player's accuracy and speed in decision making will increase.
However, for agility drills to have a profound effect on the body and memory they need to be conducted daily. So find yourself a speed and agility ladder, put in the time, gain the experience and begin your steps to becoming a smarter soccer player.

AUTHOR: Matt Couch NASM-YES, ISSA-SSC
Soccer, football, baseball, basketball... you name it and Couch (everyone just calls him by his last name) was good at it, but soccer is where he excelled the most and it was the sport that he was most passion about. Growing up in Tucson, his family would frequently take vacations to San Diego, so when Couch was offered a scholarship position on the D1 San Diego State University men's team he was ecstatic to live in such an amazing city. Although Couch played forward his whole life, he was a natural center back when his college coach transitioned him there as a junior. In those final 2 years, his dominant presence as a strong defender won him several accolades and a chance to play in the MLS. After experiencing time with the pros he chose to return to SDSU to finish his degree and pursue a teaching career. Helping kids learn and find success in school was fulfilling, but it didn't fill the void that soccer left. So for several years he worked alongside Alicia to grow the Catalyst Soccer Center, and he also took the opportunity to play pro again, until 2015 when he chose to leave the school environment to combine his skills as an educator with his love of soccer full time by developing this digital soccer platform.

'Wonderstruck': Remarkable New Work From Brian Selznick
Maria Popova
You might recall author and illustrator extraordinaire Brian Selznick from his magnificent The Adventures of Hugo Cabret, a masterpiece of a children's book inspired by Georges Méliès, the first "cinemagician," and currently being made into a film by Martin Scorsese.
Today, Selznick is back with his much-anticipated Wonderstruck, which tells the parallel stories of Ben and Rose, two children trying to find their place of belonging in the world. One story takes place is 1977 and is told in text, the other in 1927 and is told in pictures. The two narratives weave back and forth, in Selznick's signature style of intricate and ephemeral pencil sketches, to converge into a single story in the end.
But this is no ordinary 12-page children's book -- like Selznick's previous tome, the mesmerizing 600-page volume weighs in at nearly three pounds and features hundreds of his original illustrations, whose intricate details exude incredible thoughtfulness and truthfulness to the era, bound to leave any adult, indeed, wonderstruck.
I really love working with a great amount of detail, I love doing research, I love making sure that every inch of the drawing has a reason to exist. It's a very immersive experience to be inside the time period, having done all this research. --Brian Selznick
And as book trailer fetishists, we have to give props to publisher Scholastic for the true feat of 2D/3D animation and analog/digital storytelling in the book's beautiful trailer:
Selznick seems to share the Brain Pickings ethos of endless curiosity, discovery, and learning through the research and creative process:
I write about things I love. In Wonderstruck, I write about museums, and I write about deaf culture, and I write about New York in 1927 and 1977. I did as much research as I possibly could on all of those things, and I learned so much, and I loved so much of what it was I discovered, and so what I hope for the reader is when they read this book, when they open this book up and see the pictures and read the stories and watch how they come together, that the love that I felt for all of these different elements and these different characters comes through for them. --Brian Selznick
Absolutely beautiful and full of fascinating detail, Wonderstruck is a living testament to all that makes books -- and their creators -- so very special, and a true artifact of human creativity and curiosity.

Leadership in African Libraries
18 July, 2013 Sue Corbett
A report from the African Library Summit conference July 3rd to 5th 2013
This second African Library Summit had 300 African library and information service (LIS) policy makers, leaders, managers, educators, researchers, publishers and suppliers in attendance. The venue was Pretoria bathed in strong winter sunlight with views from the University of South Africa of the Voortrekker Monument and, on the adjacent hill, the tall, slender poles of the Freedom Park sculpture of ascending reeds signifying the rebirth of the South African nation as well as a nation embracing the future. Mandela was in hospital just a quarter mile from our hotel and the local newspapers full of the feuding in his family.
The title was The Horizon and Beyond. But the real driving theme was that of leadership, innovation and change – what those mean in librarianship and what they might mean in an African cultural context. The spiritual and traditional dimensions of leadership were discussed as well as the leading role of some African countries in developing affordable technological solutions to information management problems (see Nairobi's Innovation Hub (iHub) and the Digital Libraries Laboratory).
From the opening flag ceremony onwards (Este Retief's photos at with our own Emma Farrow carrying the UK flag), the mood was upbeat and a keynote emerged in the video message from Deborah Jacobs of the Gates Foundation in her call for the "transformation of librarians and the role they play in driving development". This was picked up by Kay Raseroka of Botswana in her call for a shift from paper-centred to people-centred services and the suggestion that encouraging oral exchanges of information in a library space is an entirely appropriate way of empowering students who want to work together rather than alone. And again in the discussion of training and education for librarians with a call for a broader, more engaged definition of the librarian's role.
The development of African librarianship to date has been driven by some notable changemakers, many of them strong women with determination, energy and a sense of pride in their chosen profession. But a central theme of the conference was how to build a new generation of leaders – how to mentor and develop young librarians, how the experienced elders can work creatively with young people who are looking for personal and institutional transformation. IFLA's support has been important here and we were briefly introduced to 30 "emerging" leaders who have been nominated to work on models for regional collaboration and advocacy on key current issues in knowledge management.
One on one conversations with librarians revealed the persistence of challenges that have been well recognised for years now, particularly inadequate ICT infrastructure, the puzzlingly low use by teachers and researchers of the e-resources that have been purchased for them by their librarians and the distrust of Open Access journals and books.
But for every one of those, there was a story of recent change and improvement or of a determination to make a difference – of a research and education ICT network just getting off the ground in Nigeria, of a possible national focus group to drive towards full use of information in universities, of students enrolled to act as ambassadors for the library driving their peers to use journals and books, of embracing social media to communicate with students and faculty.
There was innovation in the conference format too. Thematic breakout groups were maintained over the three days under the guidance of a series of "chairs and provocateurs" with a brief to come up with three key recommendations for action. One of the buzziest sessions was a World Café where all 300 delegates moved from table to table to discuss and record ideas on how to create an environment that fosters innovation.
The launch of the Forum of National Libraries of Africa, the Public Library Summit and, most noisily by a long chalk, of the African Libraries and Information Association on the last afternoon was an excuse for a party with drumming, balloons and a "harambee ("all pull together" in Swahili) where all present were invited to make a personal donation that raised an impressively useful sum for the embryonic AfLIA.

Upplands Regiment. Dets mærke var I 8 i den svenske hær. Det kan dateres til 1600-tallet, og det blev opløst i 1957. Regimentets soldater kom oprindeligt fra Uppland, og der blev senere oprettet en garnison dér.

Historie
Regimentet har sin oprindelse i et kompagni i Uppland omkring 1550. I 1617 blev disse enheder af Gustav II Adolf lagt sammen med afdelinger fra de nærliggende provinser i Dalarna og Västmanland til Upplands storregiment, hvoraf otte af de i alt 24 kompagnier blev rekrutteret i Uppland. Det upplandske storregiment bestod af de tre områderegimenter, hvoraf Upplands regiment var det ene. Omkring 1623 blev regimentet permanent opdelt i tre mindre regimenter, hvoraf Upplands regiment blev det ene.

Regimentet blev officielt oprettet i 1626, selv om det havde eksisteret siden 1623. Upplands regiment var et af de oprindelige 20 svenske infanteriregimenter, der er nævnt i den svenske forfatning fra 1634. Regimentets første chef var Nils Brahe.

Regimentet fik betegnelsen I 8 (8. Infanteri Regiment) i 1816. Upplands regiment blev omdøbt til Upplands infanteriregiment i 1904 for at skelne det fra Upplands artilleriregiment. Regimentet fik garnison i Gävle fra 1912. I 1928 genvandt regimentet sit gamle navn. Regimentet blev opløst i 1957. Upplands signalregiment blev i 1974 omdøbt til Upplands regiment, men kan ikke henføre sin oprindelse til det oprindelige regiment, selvom navnet er blevet videreført.

Data protection presents ongoing challenges for Irish institutions
August 23, 2021 educationmagazine11 NEWS & FEATURES Comments Off on Data protection presents ongoing challenges for Irish institutions
By Steven Roberts
Steven Roberts is head of marketing at Griffith College. He is a certified data protection officer and vice-chair of the ACOI's data protection and information security working group.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) recently marked its third anniversary. Since its introduction on 25th May 2018, data protection has been high on the agenda for education institutions across Ireland. A number of factors have contributed to this scenario.
Media interest in the potential for very significant fines, up to 4% of turnover or Ä20 million, has undoubtedly played a part. High profile data breaches at firms such as Marriott and British Airways have also ensured that the general public is more conscious of how organisations obtain and process their personal data.
Steven Roberts' new book
Data Protection for Marketers: A Practical Guide, published by Orpen Press, is available at all good bookstores.
Amongst EU member states, Ireland recorded the third highest number of data breaches per 100,000 population during the period from 25th May 2018 to 27th January 2021. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC), meanwhile, issued its first fines under GDPR last year, including penalties for Twitter, UCD, Tusla and the HSE. Against this backdrop, it is timely to consider some of the current and upcoming data protection challenges facing Irish institutions.
Lack of clarity regarding fines
A key challenge is the continued lack of clarity regarding the levying of fines. At present, there does not appear to be a consistent approach across EU member states. This makes it difficult for education institutions, their boards and executive teams to accurately assess the potential impact of a data breach, from the perspective of enterprise risk management.
The DPC's largest fine thus far was a Ä450,000 penalty imposed on Twitter in December 2020. In comparison, the Data Protection Authority of Hamburg fined clothing retailer H&M Ä35m, for GDPR violations involving the monitoring of employees. The French and Swedish supervisory authorities issued Google with GDPR fines of Ä50m and Ä7m respectively.
It is to be hoped that more consistency emerges in the coming two to three years. Institutions should regularly review their risk registers in light of ongoing developments in this area, keeping a particular eye on the profile of fines issued by the DPC.
Delays introducing a new ePrivacy Regulation
Data protection and privacy are separate rights under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Whilst GDPR focuses on protecting the personal data rights of EU citizens, the privacy and confidentiality of electronic communications is covered by another piece of legislation – the ePrivacy Directive.
The EU originally planned to introduce a new ePrivacy Regulation (ePR) alongside the GDPR in May 2018. However, the former has become mired in lobbying and disagreement amongst EU member states. This creates issues for institutions and the broader business community.
Firstly, the current Directive dates back to 2002. It is widely viewed as being no longer fit for purpose given the rapid developments in online communications and technologies over the past two decades.
Secondly, it has led to confusion as to how it and the GDPR can be consistently applied. This is most clearly seen with regard to website cookies, an area covered by the ePrivacy Directive. Lawyers and compliance experts have struggled to identify how best to ensure that cookie consent meets GDPR standards – i.e. that consent is freely given, unambiguous, specific and informed.
To provide clarity, supervisory authorities across the EU have issued their own guidance. Ireland's Data Protection Commission published guidelines on cookies and other tracking technologies in April 2020 2, providing a six-month grace period in which to achieve compliance.
Whilst this has proven helpful for Irish businesses, those with a footprint in more than one EU country must ensure they comply with local best practice in each jurisdiction. It is a far remove from the harmonized approach promised in May 2018.
Fines for breaching ePrivacy laws can be very substantial. France's supervisory authority fined Google Ä100m and Amazon Ä35m in December 2020 for breaches relating to their use of cookies.
Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data and the internet of things will play a large part in the future of work. Their ability to replace or enhance existing roles, either through full or partial automation, poses both opportunities and challenges for the Irish and global economies. Universities and colleges are at the forefront of this process, both in the research undertaken and in developing programmes that provide relevant skills to meet the current and future needs of industry.
From a data protection perspective, these new technologies use personal data in ever more complex and sophisticated ways. In order to do so in a GDPR compliant manner, organisations providing and utilizing such services must identify in a clear, transparent and straightforward manner how individuals' data will be processed.
Mechanisms such as data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) and the GDPR's requirement for data protection by design and default will be crucial in meeting this threshold. Institutions undertaking regular GDPR training for new and existing staff should seek to incorporate both of these processes into their schedule.
Last year saw a number of significant developments with regard to international transfers of personal data outside the EU. The EU-US Privacy Shield, a key mechanism for transferring personal data between both jurisdictions, was ruled invalid by the European Court of Justice in July 2020.
Many firms sought the alternative option of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). These are EU approved clauses that when included in a contract can demonstrate GDPR compliance.
In November 2020, the EU proposed a new set of draft SCCs for public consultation. A final version was published in early June this year and entered into force on the 27th of that month.
The new SCCs include a number of different modular options, depending on the type of transfer taking place. Compliance and legal professionals are currently ascertaining what best practice implementation will look like; however, it is clear that a considerable amount of repapering of contracts will be needed in the coming year. Institutions should commence this process at an early stage, given the level of work this may entail.
Last November also saw the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) propose a range of supplementary organizational, contractual and technological measures a business could take if it ascertained that a country receiving transfers of personal data did not meet GDPR standards.
Industry groups have questioned how these supplementary measures will operate in practice. They have expressed concerns that the measures could be particularly burdensome for small and medium sized organisations seeking to trade internationally.
Data protection will continue to be a priority agenda item for colleges and universities in 2021 and the years ahead. While considerable progress has been made, many uncertainties still remain for institutions and businesses across Europe.
The Data Protection Commission has recognized this. In its draft Regulatory Strategy , the DPC notes that ambiguities still exist in how GDPR is interpreted across EU member states.
In this article, we have considered some examples, including the use of website cookies, a lack of clarity with regard to fines, the impact of new technologies, and ongoing developments in the area of international data transfers.
It is to be hoped that as the GDPR becomes more established it will lead to greater certainty for organisations. For the moment, the goal of a harmonized, EU-wide data protection environment remains an ambition yet to be fully realized.

A spirited discussion of a company's financial performance and management's expectations for its future, an overview of its strategy and a tour of its facilities, opportunities to ask questions and possibly arrange meetings with top executives — successful analyst days often incorporate all of these attributes and more. To find out which Japanese companies host the type of event that financial professionals find most beneficial, Institutional Investor asked buy- and sell-side participants in the 2015 All-Japan Executive Team survey — our exclusive annual ranking of the nation's best corporate leaders and investor outreach programs — to tell us which of the entities they cover host the most constructive analyst days. We received responses from nearly 460 investment professionals at close to 190 financial services firms. Respondents from the buy-side work at firms that collectively manage $568 billion in Japanese equities.
Click on Japan's Best Analyst Days in the navigation table at right to view the winners in each of the survey's 25 industry sectors that produced publishable results. There you will also find a brief profile of the companies in first, second and third places, plus a link to each one's website (where applicable).
A total of 74 companies earn an appearance on this inaugural roster, including a third-place tie in Electronics/Precision Instruments (between Hoya Corp. and Tokyo Electron). Only one company, Toray Industries, ranks in Technical Materials.
Daiwa House Industry Co. and Taisei Corp. share top honors in Construction, while Ryohin Keikaku Co. and United Arrows tie for first place in Retailing.
Results of the 2015 All-Japan Executive Team will be published on Tuesday, June 2.

In mechanical engineering, stressed skin is a type of rigid construction, intermediate between monocoque and a rigid frame with a non-loaded covering. A stressed skin structure has its compression-taking elements localized and its tension-taking elements distributed.  Typically, the main frame has rectangular structure and is triangulated by the covering.

Description

A framework box can be distorted from being square, so it isn't rigid by itself, however adding diagonals that take either tension or compression fixes this, because the box cannot deviate from right angles without altering the diagonals.
Sometimes flexible members like wires are used to provide tension, or rigid compression frames are used, as with a Warren or Pratt truss, however both these are full frame structures.
When the skin or outer covering is in tension so that it provides a significant portion of the rigidity, the structure is said to have a stressed skin design. This may also be referred to as semi-monocoque, and overlaps with monocoque, which has less framing, sometimes only including longitudinal or lateral members, and also overlaps with rigid frame structures where a minor portion of the overall stiffness may be derived from the skin. This method of construction is lighter than a full frame structure and not as complex to design as a full monocoque.

Examples
Examples include nearly all modern all-metal airplanes, as well as some railway vehicles, buses and motorhomes. The London Transport AEC Routemaster incorporated internal panels riveted to the frames which took most of the structure's shear load. Automobile unibodies are a form of stressed skin as well, as are some framed buildings which lack diagonal bracing.
 Dornier-Zeppelin D.I : first all-metal stressed skin fighter and first with stressed skin wings (1918)
 Short Silver Streak : first all-metal  British stressed skin aircraft (1920)
 Zeppelin-Lindau (Dornier) Rs.IV : first aircraft with an all-metal stressed skin fuselage to fly (1918)
 Zeppelin-Staaken E-4/20 : first all-metal stressed skin four-engine airliner (1919)
 Northrop Alpha : first American all-metal stressed skin aircraft
 GM New Look bus : stressed-skin bus, over 44,000 built since 1959, and many still in service
