The Final Four Trajectory: What do 2013 and 2016 Say About a 2017 Run?
By David Edelstein
Among any concerns about how the Syracuse basketball team is playing in the current moment, we have to realize that the Syracuse basketball program has been largely successful over the past few years. The Orange's success is specifically evident over the past four years, where SU is one of just four teams to make it to the Final Four twice (even while Syracuse did not participate in the 2015 NCAA Tournament after removing itself from contention, making it two Final Four runs in the past three NCAA Tournament trips for the Orange)!
So while some may focus on every miniscule minutia of every game to determine where Syracuse basketball is headed this year, let's take a moment to reflect on the bigger picture and see that the 2013 and 2016 Final Four seasons show that 2017 SU basketball is still largely in championship contention.
In 2013, Syracuse went undefeated 10-0 until the Orange lost to Temple 83-79 at Madison Square Garden.
SU opened the 2013 season with force as Syracuse beat ranked opponent #20 San Diego State 62-49, only allowing the Aztecs to score on 27 percent of their shots.
The Orange's next nine wins of the 10-0 start came against "easier" teams, including Colgate, Princeton, Wagner, Arkansas, Eastern Michigan, Long Beach State, Monmouth, Canisius and Detroit.
The 2013 Syracuse team won its first six Big East games, including defeating #1 Louisville on the road and #21 Cincinnati consecutively, both by two points.
Then the 2013 season slightly deflated. The Orange dropped three straight games to ranked opponents #11 Georgetown, #22 Marquette and #10 Louisville. Syracuse lost the Big East Championship to #4 Louisville, but did beat #17 Pittsburgh and #5 Georgetown along the way.
SU went on to secure the #4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, where Syracuse dominated play — twice keeping its opponent under 40 points — until being outscored by Michigan in the Final Four 61-56.
The 2013 Orange were 30-10 overall, but went 11-7 in conference play.
Last year, Syracuse went undefeated through its first six games, including winning the Battle 4 Atlantis where SU beat #18 Connecticut and #25 Texas A&M in the process.
Then, the season became a bit of a roller coaster ride. The Orange beat the "easier" teams of Colgate, Cornell, Montana State and Texas Southern, but couldn't secure a W against Wisconsin, Georgetown or St. John's, raising concern.
The trouble continued into the start of ACC play where the Orange lost four in a row but then won nine of the next 14 games to close out the regular season.
Last year's Orange lost to Pittsburgh by one point in the first round of the ACC Tournament. Syracuse went just 9-10 in the ACC in 2016, counting the tournament loss.
SU secured the 10th seeded in the NCAA Tournament (a surprise to many) and made history as the first #10 seed to reach the Final Four.
In 2017, Syracuse started out ranked #18 in the nation.
That changes after a somewhat easy start reached a shaky middle to the season. Now, some hope has come with the new year and a solid start to ACC play.
Like in 2013, Syracuse lost in the big arena: at the Barclays and Madison Square Garden.
Unlike 2013, this year's Orange do not have such an impressive resume of wins over ranked opponents nor tournament appearance wins that led the 2013 team to a #4 NCAA Tournament seed.
Last year's team had a shaky start similar to this year's squad. Last year's team recovered and saw its play peak in the NCAA Tournament. Last year's team didn't dominate the conference, but it showed it could win and beat some ranked opponents in close games.
This year's Orange is not a 2013 team. Instead, the team we are watching today is somewhat like last year's team still finding its way.
With that said, Syracuse has the opportunity this year to get hot at the right time — SU can further improve its playing through the remaining ACC games and take that energy into the NCAA Tournament.
Last year, the Orange didn't need to dominate conference (or overall play in general) to make it in. The 2016 team proved that Syracuse doesn't need the high seed to be and perform as the high seed.
"All that matters, and you know this, is what you do in the NCAA tournament," Coach Boeheim said in the postgame press conference after the Orange defeated Pittsburgh on January 7. "That's all that matters. Just ask Pittsburgh or Virginia, who won 30 games last year, if they would have our year [of making it to the Final Four but only having 23 wins instead]."
There is plenty of time left in this season for the Orange to get to the playing level it needs to be at. There are some games Syracuse needs to win to prove itself, but SU's 2017 NCAA Tournament chances are still looking good.
Said Boeheim: "This year is still a long way to go."

Grants Help Deputies Enforce the Speed Limit on Local Roads
Bedford County, Va – Mike Morgan has lived near Stewartsville Road for nearly 40 years and has seen several people drive over the speed limit of 55 miles per hour. He says it doesn't make him feel safe when he sees people driving too fast.
"It's a road that quite a few accidents occur on," said Morgan. "I try to do all my things I do during the daytime and try to stay off the road at night."
That's why he was happy to hear the Bedford County Board of Supervisors voted to accept two grants from the Department of Motor Vehicles that could make the roads safer.
One grants is for more than $10,000 dollars and will go towards overtime for sheriff deputies to patrol the roads. The seconds grant is worth more than $35,000 dollars, and will pay for radar equipment, cameras, and manpower.
Major Ricky Gardner with the Sheriff's Office says speeding has been a big issue in the county especially on secondary roads.
"It kills, speeding kills. Over the last 10 years in Bedford County we've lost a number of our high school students," said Gardner. "We've had a lot of extra patrol requests from people in subdivisions stating that they're having speeding problems in their neighborhoods and we'd like to go into those neighborhoods."
Morgan hopes this makes people more aware when they get behind the wheel.
The county will be able to use the grant starting October 1st.

WILPF Statement in support of Keep Space for Peace Week
The first United Nations General Assembly Resolution on Outer Space, issued in 1958, recognizes that outer space should be used only for peaceful purposes for the benefit of all humankind. In October 1967, WILPF welcomed the entry into force of the Outer Space Treaty and continues to reaffirm its goals by promoting and supporting efforts to prevent the weaponization of outer space and by calling for its demilitarization. One aspect of that support is WILPF co-sponsorship each year of Keep Space for Peace Week in cooperation with the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. Dozens of other citizens groups around the world participate actively in the week of protest, action, and education. Our groups initiated Keep Space for Peace Week in response to UN World Space Week, in order to raise awareness of the need to prevent an arms race in outer space in order to achieve the goals of the Outer Space Treaty.
The overwhelming majority of United Nations member states are concerned that the weaponization of outer space will lead to an arms race. They insist that a multilateral treaty is the only way to prevent such an arms race. Each year in the General Assembly, member states adopt a resolution on the Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS) by an overwhelming majority. In fact, every country in the world votes in favor of negotiating a treaty on PAROS—except for the United States, which has voted against it for the past three years, and Israel, which has abstained. The US administration argues that the existing multilateral arms control regime is sufficient, and that there is no need to address a "non-existent" threat.
Meanwhile, the United States and some of its allies—including Japan, South Korea, Israel, and NATO—continue to research, design, test, and deploy "missile defense" and small satellite technologies with dual-use capabilities. The United States invests millions of dollars into space technology aimed at dominating outer space and rejects resolutions and proposed treaties that it views will limit its actions.
In February this year, the United States shot down a failed satellite with a Standard Missile-3, whose primary vocation is interceptor for the US Navy's "missile defense" system. This action could be considered an anti-satellite test, and is similar to the test that China conducted in 2007, for which the United States condemned the Chinese government. Both the Chinese and American tests created even more space debris, which already poses a considerable hazard for space objects. Potentially, such debris can prevent future stationing of satellites in space and limit or entirely prevent space access.
In August 2008, the United States signed an agreement with Poland to station US ground-based interceptors on Polish soil. In September, the Czech Republic agreed to a deal with the United States that will allow the US to build a "missile defense" radar based near Prague. The Russian government has responded angrily to both agreements, arguing that these elements of the US "missile defense" system upset the strategic balance in Europe. Russia has already begun developing "advanced" missiles that can "out-smart" the system.
WILPF believes that such actions and agreements by the United States will instigate a new arms race and increase geopolitical tensions and international insecurity. WILPF calls on the governments of the Czech Republic and Poland to not ratify the signed agreements.
WILPF welcomes the draft Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, the Threat or Use of Force against Outer Space Objects (PPWT) presented to the Conference on Disarmament in February this year by China and the Russian Federation. Although the draft treaty does not address all the questions raised by governments and NGOs over the past years, WILPF views the draft treaty as a positive step and maintains that multilateral, verifiable, non-discriminatory, legally-binding instruments are the key to ensuring international peace and security.
WILPF believes that arms control measures such as a treaty preventing the weaponization of outer space will not limit any state's right to use outer space for peaceful purposes but rather will ensure that such use is possible. WILPF calls on the members of the Conference on Disarmament to end their twelve year deadlock and to begin serious discussions on that draft and/or other draft texts with a view to establishing an ad hoc committee to negotiate such a treaty within the CD.

Ambulance corps seeking to triple size of Osborn Ave headquarters
by Tim Gannon |
09/03/2017 6:00 AM |
The Riverhead Volunteer Ambulance Corps is asking the Town Board to approve a 5,720-square-foot expansion to triple the size of its Osborn Avenue headquarters.
Al Gehres, the district manager for the ambulance corps, said he received one cost estimate of $1.5 million for the job.
However, town officials say much of the cost can be offset by revenue derived from third-party billing for ambulance service, which the corps began doing earlier this year.
The ambulance has been in need of additional space for years, but Mr. Gehres said building a completely new building "is off the table financially."
The ambulance corps also had rejected the town's suggestion to move into the Second Street firehouse, which has since been sold. Town officials said they don't deny that the ambulance corps' needs more space. They are just concerned about the cost.
"The current building was commissioned in 1989, and there has been no additional infrastructure since, other than basic maintenance," Mr. Gehres said. The number of calls the corps has received has increased greatly over the years, he said.
The corps' website indicates a jump in calls from 3,718 in 2015 to 4,173 last year, and Mr. Gehres expects even more this year.
The corps began billing the auto insurance of drivers involved in motor vehicle accidents within the town as of May 1 this year. A Connecticut-based company called Certified Group was selected by the town to do the billing for the corps.
To date, there have been 269 accidents reported, of which 206 required ambulances, according to Mr. Gehres. A total of $205,878 was billed to insurance companies, and the projection for a full year is that $326,301 would be raised from third-party billing, which only applies to auto accidents.
"We might now even have to bond this," said Supervisor Sean Walter, since the ambulance district also has a $500,000 fund balance. He said the $1.5 million estimate is likely to be low, and that when costs like lighting, curbing and parking are factored in, it could rise.
He suggested a $2 million bond to cover additional costs, although he said the town engineering department should look over the plans first, and come up with its own cost estimates.
"We have to crunch the numbers," Mr. Walter said at Thursday's Town Board work session, where the issue was discussed. "This is a fall project, not an end-of-summer project."
Councilwoman Jodi Giglio said the town will need to issue a request for proposals from companies interested in doing the expansion.
The ambulance district covers all properties in the Town of Riverhead with the exception of those in the Wading River Fire District, which has its own ambulance. The Town Board acts as commissioners of the Riverhead ambulance district, which also has its own board of directors.
Mr. Gehres said he contacted four companies for estimates on the expansion, and only of those companies responded.
The third-party billing requires the corps' to have additional space for medical records.
They are currently using space in Town Hall but officials have suggested using space in the old Railroad Avenue train station, which has been mostly vacant since the LIRR moved out in 1972.
The proposed expansion would include room for files storage and two new ambulance bays, among other things, according to Mr. Gehres. One of their ambulances now is kept outdoors, he said.
Councilman John Dunleavy said a new ambulance building would probably cost between $7 million and $8 million.
"This is going to save us money," he said.

Aside from spiritual and pastoral callings, I consider social justice to be the most important part of my calling as a minister.
At a Moral Mondays rally, State House, Boston, September 2016.
I consider it a spiritual discipline to show up to justice rallies and actions whenever possible. As the t-shirt says, "You can pretend to care, but you can't pretend to show up!" Consequently, I showed up as often as I could to Occupy Boston in the fall of 2011… I answered Rev. Dr. William Barber's call to show up at the Moral Monday Rally and March in Raleigh, North Carolina in February 2014… I participated in the People's Climate March in New York
In Raleigh, NC, for national clergy call, Moral Mondays Movement, February 2014.
City in September 2014… I participated in civil disobedience fighting Spectra's pipeline in West Roxbury in June 2016… I answered the clergy call to go to Standing Rock in North Dakota in November 2016… I participated in the Women's March on Washington, D.C. in January 2017, and more.
I have a strong dedication to issues of social, economic, and racial justice. I have worked for small social justice non-profit organizations as both Program Director and Executive Director, engaged in program development and strategic planning. As for "official" UU social justice organizational involvement, I am currently a Board Member (Secretary) of the UU Animal Ministry. I'm a former Board Director for UU Mass Action and for UU Ministry for Earth (Treasurer). As for non-UU organizational involvement, I currently serve on the editorial group for Religious Socialism. I'm also a former Executive Committee member (Secretary) for the Smedley D. Butler Brigade of Veterans for Peace.
With my trumpet (to "make a joyful noise") at the People's Climate March in NYC, September 2014.
Working for the rights and well being of immigrants and refugee families has been an area of focus for me in recent years, though my interest goes back to my field education work (and later my part-time employment) with the Irish Immigration Center in Boston during the 1990s. In more recent years, I have had the opportunity to advocate for immigrant rights through my work as a Board member of UU Mass Action.
Speaker, immigration rights rally, Boston, April 2013 (top center).
I have also been able to advocate for immigrants through participation in efforts of the Merrimack Valley Project and, more recently, the Merrimack Valley Interfaith Sanctuary Network. In September 2016, I was one of the clergy participating in the first leg of the 100 Women, 100 Miles Pilgrimage from a detention center in York County, Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C. on behalf of immigrant and refugee families.
Black Lives Matter "standout" with Merrimack Valley SURJ members and others in response to Charlottesville, summer 2017.
My congregation played a meaningful role in the recent formation of the Merrimack Valley Chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ). We have striven to be supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement, participating in local vigils and rallies. I have led several worship services at my congregation on aspects of the movement for black lives as well as topics such as white privilege and white supremacy.
Civil disobedience at the West Roxbury pipeline, June 2016.
My congregation proudly displays a Black Lives Matter flag.
In the fall of 2016, I responded to a clergy call to be in solidarity with the the Standing Rock Sioux and participate in an interfaith worship service and rally in the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. I joined 500 clergy from around the country in Standing Rock, North Dakota. When I returned to Massachusetts, I did the best I could to share what I had learned.

Jewish street patrols curb crime – and generate controversy
Hasidic groups in New York patrol religious neighborhoods in marked cars, but they occasionally clash with outside groups and even among themselves.
Taylor Umlauf/Special to The Christian Science Monitor
Night watch: Shomrim volunteers Gadi Hershkop (left) and Binyomin Lifshitz (right) patrol the Crown Heights neighborhood in New York.
By Jordan Heller Correspondent
The disheveled man looks momentarily confused. He's wearing a puffy red coat that looks as if it was salvaged from the city dump. "Are you guys cops?" he asks.
He's been set upon by four Hasidic Jews in the center aisle of House and Home Hardware on Flushing Avenue, a commercial strip that runs through the Hasidic section of Williamsburg in Brooklyn – a neighborhood uncanny for its resemblance to a 19th-century shtetl.
The man's presence is as misplaced as a Hell's Angel in Amish country. But it's not just the grimy clothes that make him unwelcome: His pants are inexplicably torn open, exposing his boxer shorts to the frightened Hasidic patrons he's been begging for money.
With bushy beards and black yarmulkes, the four Jews entreating the vagabond do so with an air of authority. Their intimidating posture, coupled with the two-way radios that hang from their belts, elicits the man's question again: "Are you guys cops?"
"Just get out of here," he's told, with an expletive thrown in to convey gravity. The man leaves and order is returned to the shop.
The four enforcers may not be members of the New York Police Department, but to the hardware store manager, if they're not exactly the law, they're certainly keepers of the peace. They're members of a volunteer civilian patrol called Shomrim (Hebrew for "watchers"), which, in addition to Williamsburg, has independently run chapters in Crown Heights, Flatbush, and Borough Park – all Brooklyn enclaves densely populated by religious Jews.
Some people see them as a model for helping curb urban crime, though others fault them for clashing with outside groups – and even among themselves.
Shomrim is not your typical neighborhood watch. For starters, the groups have a 24-hour hot line and dispatcher, their own marked vehicles, and a track record for dealing with everything from assault and battery to domestic violence.
"Everything that happens in the world happens here," says Yossi Pollack, a senior Shomrim member, as we drive through the streets of Williamsburg peering down alleyways. "Our telephone number is just like 911 – they call us for everything."
It raises the question: In a city like New York, with one of the largest and most respected police forces in the world, why not just call the cops directly when a problem arises?
"A lot of people in the community are a little apprehensive of the police," says Binyomin Lifshitz, who, along with fellow Shomrim member Gadi Hershkop, took me on a separate ride-along in Crown Heights. "They don't want to interact with the police unless they absolutely have to."
And when that happens, adds Mr. Hershkop, "Shomrim is like the liaison between the community and the police."
The members of these Jewish enclaves feel more comfortable dealing with their own, both for language (Hebrew and Yiddish are prevalent) and cultural reasons. Furthermore, many are descendants of Eastern European and Russian shtetls, where, more often than not, it was the authorities who were behind their persecution.
Like the traditional dress, language, and customs sustained in these communities for centuries, apprehensions of law enforcement endure, too.
Community leaders also worry about the police getting involved and locking up someone who might not deserve it. When it comes to Jew-on-Jew crime, Crown Heights Shomrim will always consult a rabbi before involving the police.
"It's been for centuries that Jews settle matters internally," says Mr. Lifshitz.
Yet the main focus of Shomrim seems to be protecting Jews from non-Jews. Williamsburg's patrol, in fact, was started in 1977 by Rabbi Moshe Hoffman because he was tired of seeing fellow Jews fall victim to violent muggings.
But checking crime can be a delicate undertaking, particularly in Crown Heights, a community rife with racial tension. After all, Crown Heights lends its name to the infamous riots that occurred here in August 1991, when, for three days, blacks and Jews clashed over the death of a young African-American boy who was struck by an automobile driven by a Jew. The neighborhood, it seems, has yet to fully recover.
As Hershkop drives the minivan, Lifshitz points out where two Jews were recently beaten by a group of black youths. And last spring, after Andrew Charles, a young black man, was attacked by, according to police, two Jewish men with mace and a nightstick, activists connected with the Rev. Al Sharpton came and, as Lifshitz puts it, "riled things up."
"Things got a little tense," he says. "They were marching the streets of Crown Heights for 'justice.' We even took [our marked cars] off the street because we felt they were countereffective."
Differences between the two communities linger. Richard Green, chief executive of the Crown Heights Youth Collective, says young black men are often profiled by the patrols as criminals. While he admits there have been improvements, Mr. Green thinks the patrols could benefit from more supervision by police and a better understanding of the black community.
For the most part, though, Green and other outsiders believe the patrols to be beneficial. Letitia James, the city council member who serves Crown Heights, says they "provide a service not only to the Jewish community, but also to the black community."
That's one test of a patrol's effectiveness: Does it serve everyone in the area or just one religious or ethnic group?
"Citizens should be responsible for preserving safety and order in their own neighborhoods," says Peter Moskos, a criminologist at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. "But the question to ask is if Shomrim fights against all crime they see or just against crime done to their people. If it's the latter ... then they're more like a private security agency."
While the Jewish patrols have had the occasional flare-up with outside groups, they also sometimes feud among themselves.
"To be blunt, we have a rival patrol, and they're not well-disciplined," says Hershkop, referring to Shmira, whose members also operate in Crown Heights and who can easily be mistaken for Shomrim.
A local grand jury has indicted Yitzhak Shuchat, who news reports have identified as a Shmira member, for various assault and hate-crime charges in relation to the Charles incident.
"Some people compare us to the Bloods and the Crips. We try not to mix, and stay focused on the positive and the good," Hershkop says.
Shmira member Yossi Stern calls the Charles case simply an "altercation between two people." He denies Shmira was involved or uses heavy-handed tactics. He says Shmira has taken training with the NYPD and is the "official" security patrol for the Crown Heights Jewish community.
With Hershkop piloting the minivan down Eastern Parkway, Lifshitz points to an intersection and recalls an incident from five years back, which, he says, illustrates the Shomrim's reputation. Lifshitz was just 17 then, a newly minted Shomrim member. He was walking alone at night, on his way home from a wedding.
As he tells it, a black youth approached him and asked for the time. Lifshitz says he could see four other teens watching from across the street – and knew he was about to get jumped.
"No, I don't have the time," Lifshitz told him.
"You got a dollar?" the boy asked.
"No, I don't got a dollar," Lifshitz shot back.
"Give me a dollar!" the boy demanded, and suddenly Lifshitz was surrounded. He pulled his two-way radio from beneath his coat and issued a distress code. "10-13, 10-13," he called. "Corner of Eastern Parkway and New York Avenue."
"Yo, it's the Jew police!" he says one kid yelled in alarm. The boys scattered, and, within minutes, 60 Shomrim arrived.
"They tried to mess with the wrong guy," says Lifshitz. "That's the stereotype I don't like, that we're prey. We're not prey."

The Technical University of Delft has started a project in the form of a Master Thesis to improve their existing and develop new algorithms for processing the measured data with the PARSAX radar for 2D-Windfield monitoring. A new algorithm is developed that detects and estimates the multi-layered structure of a windfield using the measured polarimetric Doppler weather data. It is studied which variables can be used and within which boundaries they will be for the measurement of precipitation targets. The processing of the measured data is improved and higher quality data is obtained. The high quality data is used to make a Velocity Azimuth Display (VAD) and study the pattern of a windfield. An existing algorithm is studied and tested to obtain the direction and strength of the windfield from the VAD. A model is developed that uses the radar configuration and a user divined weather model as input to simulate the Doppler velocity pattern that the radar would measure with this configuration. This model is used to simulate the pattern that would be observed in case of a multi layered windfield, to be used as input for the testing of the newly developed algorithm. The developed algorithm is finally tested on a real dataset. The obtained windfield parameters with the existing and developed algorithm are used as input for the developed Doppler velocity pattern simulation model to compare the simulated Doppler velocity patterns with the measured one. It can be concluded that the existing algorithm has problems and gives wrong results when more windfields are present. The developed algorithm gives more realistic results, retrieving wind characteristics for every vertical layer, and producing high resulting correlation between simulated and observed patterns on VAD.

CIO? CTO? CDO? CCO!
By AOPR
More and more companies are looking to their management team for direction in preparing for an increasingly digital future. Under the label "Chief Digital Officer", they are supposed to help overcome the hurdles of digital transformation. In other companies, a Chief Information Officer (CIO) or Chief Technology Officer (CTO) takes the role. In these cases, the profile is highly technical. In the case of a CDO, the position's skill set is already ambiguous. The industry association bitkom describes this position as a symbiosis of commercial and IT know-how.
Sounds great. But it's not enough of a job description!
What is the desired effect: These digital "Merlins" are supposed to initiate change and push the organization toward digitization. The target of these digital advancements is the customer and success in a changing market!
In order to bring speed and agility, two prerequisites for a successful digital transformation, to the company, we have to talk about changing information flows and fields of action. Information and direction doesn't have to always be passed down by superiors.
All these are "discursive" tasks. Primarily, the CDO must take the employees from all departments and listen to create a willingness to change from the (by all means justified) fears. Then, in the next step, they can draw on the opportunities for change — with the knowledge and ideas of the employees. In other words, in exchange with the available resources and their expertise.
What skills should such a CDO have?
Communicative: in the sense of listening and moderating!
Consulting competence: and yes, that also means bringing along technical understanding and knowing which innovations and approaches exist.
Self-conception as an interface: no organisation needs an "external know-it-all".
Following these guidelines, a strategy for digitalization can be developed that is accepted and supported by the company.
There is one insight already derived from the short existence of the CDO, proven by several studies: The most important stumbling block for the CDO's successful operation are — in addition to his/ her lack of decision-making authority — the company's values and working culture.
PR in the Digital Race
From the leading Danish industry magazine Danish Marketing, June 2017
Digital transformation has led to a blurring of many industries, causing an overlap between traditional business areas. But who will win the race? We spoke to Kirsten Dinesen, a leading Danish PR and marketing specialist and the first person to publish a Danish book on digital strategy and who introduced the concept of digital PR in Denmark in 2008.
Looking at digital marketing, is PR currently in a tail wind or the opposite?
In general, PR and strategic communication are in the tailwind. Digital PR and communication is expanding and becoming a bigger part of the business, but it depends on who you ask and what part of 'digital' we are talking about.
Kirsten Dinesen points out that some PR agencies have been quick to understand digital communication and consider it as an integral part of their services, but there are still quite a few that are sticking to classic PR - primarily in the shape of media pitching, public affairs and stakeholder contact.
For most agencies, social media is a fully integrated service and that's good. We see too many shitstorms occurring because of a hot tempered internal employee or an advertising campaign where the people behind it failed to consider the entire stakeholder universe or neglected to assess the campaign in a larger societal context. This is what PR people are trained to do - both in their worklife and before that during their education which is often political, human or social science or journalism. That's why PR professionals excel in planning and executing an overall and long-term digital strategy.
Some PR agencies are evolving towards becoming 'communication houses' with graphic designers and media professionals among the staff. Are PR agencies turning into both advertising and media agencies?
Postgraduate courses within software and interfaces for the PR industry remain a big challenge. Other types of agencies are more technically advanced, but not necessarily on content. That is why we now see a blurring of industries, where media agencies experiment with content, advertising agencies experiment with…. well I wouldn't call it PR, but media coverage and social media agencies experiment with sponsored content in media.
Is this the reason why the PR agencies and not advertising agencies in the future will be 'lead agencies'?
I think that is over simplifying it. If we look more structurally on this matter, more and more branding will be driven by international clients, where local execution often becomes pure adaptation and the rest is left to marketing automation in its many shapes and forms. PR is still a discipline that requires deep insight and the ability to handle stakeholder relationships and it requires knowledge of the local market. Just like event agencies, who know local conditions. Advertising agencies have a unique creativity, and this is their core competence. I'm not saying PR professionals aren't creative, they are. It's just in a more understated fashion.
The fight has been canceled
But who will own the customer and where will the money go?
PR agencies now enjoy a much more central position among their clients, which is also due to the fact that they have more direct access to top management. Furthermore, clients often have well-educated and skilled employees who are also able to work their way around all the internal politics in large organisations. Therefore, the unworthy fights we saw in the past between agencies have been cancelled. Today, focus is on the ability to collaborate and provide space for the competencies on the team.
You did not answer where the money will end?
The business models are somewhat different. The budgets seem bigger among advertising agencies because they require more production. But because PR agencies have different analytical capabilities, they are stronger on the long-term strategy. Also, they focus more on the client's business development. I have no doubt that the big battle over the long-term strategy has already been won by the PR agencies. But the creative development and campaigns…. here the advertising agencies are simply much stronger. But they have, except for a few agencies, lost the large analytical work relating to strategy. Now that is carried out by the strategically strong PR agencies, and the more elaborate analyzes continue to be carried out by the ever-stronger business consultants, for example. Danish Qvartz, Boston Consulting, Monitor Deloitte etc.
All industries are challenged
It was Kirsten Dinesen who introduced the concept of Web PR and Digital PR in Denmark in connection with her book, 'Consumers in the Driver's Seat' from 2008. Digital strategy is very much about tearing down the silos between specialised skills and let the client's goals guide the choice of channels and tools - such as SEO, SEM, 121 etc. I have always in my work combined public relations with direct marketing tools. Several of my good colleagues in the PR industry have begun working with different types of marketing automation software. It is a completely natural development for services which before were specialities among the large agencies, or among a few dedicated direct marketing agencies. Today, it's a piece of software we're all expected to know inside out. PR professionals have always been kind of geeks when it comes to reaching audiences with ultra-precise messages using new technology, and, best of all, to start a dialogue.
The Regime of Experts
Kirsten Dinesen points out that historically, Denmark is one of the countries with most self-proclaimed digital experts and this has created some uncertainty among clients. During her many years as a PR executive for Google Denmark, she followed the evolution of SEO and marketing automation.
"The expert culture has created some uncertainty among clients who think that even small issues must be solved by the "expert". But in everyday life there are skilled - and less skilled - craftsmen and many issues may not be so difficult to handle after all. Therefore, it is a constant race for all agencies to embrace the many new technologies which are still relatively immature. We are living in a challenging but very exciting time. But it requires constant focus on postgraduate courses", Kirsten Dinesen emphasises.
Therefore, Frontpage PR has for many years been supporting employees to take certified courses and online courses found within AdWords, Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn advertising, marketing automation etc.
"In our processes, everything starts with words: What words are related to the company, what are the client's customers looking for, and how can we influence that through PR, social media etc? And so we use these points and way of thinking all the way through the overall communication. It's all about analysis and words and this is exactly where PR professionals are incredibly sharp. I always avoid saying we are experts, but we know a thing or two about digital marketing!", Kirsten Dinesen concludes with a laugh.
Kirsten Dinesen is the founding CEO of Frontpage PR & Communication and has previously worked with integrated campaigns for large international agencies. In 2016, Frontpage won the Danish PR Tiger Award in the category of Strategy for their Ericsson campaign, which explored major Danish companies and their attitude and readiness towards IoT in their production. The campaign was a combined major survey and analysis carried out by Monitor Deloitte on behalf of Frontpage, and a national PR/communications campaign.
Social media strategies using Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – where do I place my corporation reasonably?
Social networks bear an enormous potential to strengthen corporations and brands. Therefore applies: Better inform than ignore. An online study by ARD and ZDF (two of the major TV channels in Germany) held in 2015 shows that the usage of the internet orients more and more towards mobile applications. Users do not surf from website to website – they keep informed through social networks. Facebook, Twitter and co. dictate the digital everyday life. Precisely on these social networks a company should be present. But not every social media platform matches every corporation and its business objectives. To orient oneself in the social media jungle, it pays off for every company to design a social media strategy. Keeping in mind the following aspects, a precise and preferably all-embracing strategy can be developed.
Which aims do I have for my social media appearance? The crucial question is: what do I want to achieve through the usage of social media? Possible ambitions could be the strengthening of the own brand, the introduction of new products or the addressing of new customers. It is important to answer the given question as precise as possible, for this single problem affects the whole further course of action.
Which is my target audience? Just as important as the business objectives is the target audience. Questions which have to be answered are, which groups of people should be addressed and in which networks these people linger. In the case of B2B contacts, knowledge-based contents come to the fore. Frequently, formal addresses are used. Entertaining contents can be presented to B2C contacts, this group reacts especially appealing to photos and videos.
Which social media networks fit to my aims and my target audience?Facebook is the all-rounder in the midst of social networks. B2B as well as B2C clients can be found here. Mostly internet oriented audience uses Twitter and Google+. Snapchat is interesting for visual and creative projections. It is a systematic decision which platforms are important and reasonable for the own company. Using suitable networks increases the chance to fulfil ones aims with the corresponding addressees. Nevertheless, one also has to provide content suitable for each network. For what would a YouTube channel be without any videos?
How do I organise the social media appearance? The last step concerns organisation. Social media means to be present – at any time, at any place. Therefore, it is helpful to research topics, collect ideas, observe the competition and develop a schedule. All possible events or fairs, restructurings in the company, offers or new products are suitable for the creation of new contents. Like that, lively posts can be coined, which enlarge the network and strengthen the brand.
Taking these aspects into account, the proper network for each company can be found. Thus, one should not avoid investments which are worthwhile. You don't have the confidence to take these steps alone? Then you might want to invest in us! We support you on your way to find the proper network as well as to oversee your social media appearance.
Why is PR more digital?
By OXYGEN USA
The industry is moving. Media are changing. And PR agencies have adapted their methods and processes. We all saw it at CES in general and of course with our clients.
We've seen a lot of articles about the death of the press release and we should always be wary of announced deaths. In any case, we deal with it. The challenge is not to publish content anymore but to create the narrative and engage the audience from the beginning. By positioning social media as an essential part of public relations, PR agencies are able to be more impactful.
How to make headlines in 2016?
Social media is more than just search engines. It is the largest source of traffic for breaking news. They represent 30% of all organic traffic to websites (including 24% for Facebook).
The effectiveness of editorial is important: today any subject can make the headlines, but engagement comes from the conversation surrounding it. What is certain is that any PR strategy must take into account this change – and a large part of strategy is to be devoted to the creation of the online conversation.
This is important because we have long believed that social media was a sounding board for media. But data shows us the exact opposite: it is because we are engaged, we speak about it on social media, thus allowing the news to maintains its positions as a headlines. Otherwise, attention and online conversation create media coverage and not the reverse.
For example, it is our reaction to events such as (e.g. political campaigns, Kayne West or SXSW ) that make the news constantly – news is not something that we are actively taking note of ("reading the paper") but something we choose to notice: and before you know it your Twitter feed is harbouring some of the most creative and entertaining hashtags in the world.
How much content is produced each day?
There are over 211 million pieces of content produced per minute.
How many blog posts have been published today?
How many searches are done on Google each year ?
How many tweets have been sent today?
See the infographic: "Every minute of the day"
Now, you're Monday ready. Enjoy your day!
What does not work with the Mobile World Congress communication?
By 121PR
Apparently, everything went on wheels at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) this year. Or maybe not so much... The MWC is the most important congress in the world within the telecommunications and technologies sector that support mobility, as reflected especially the massive flow of information generated during the four days it lasts, in infinitude media, from all over the world.
Even so, something does not work in its communication. We have known that some of the journalists, from several of the most relevant media in the technology sector in Spain show, off the record, their palpable annoyance with the organization of the event.
That's because, the bureaucratic obstacles that must be saved to obtain a press accreditation. And is that many of the most influential journalists in Spain, media directors, editorials, etc. direct the editorial line of their media, but do not sign articles with their name, an indispensable requirement for the MWC to provide them with an accreditation.
That means that directors of technology magazines, lifestyle or powerful blogs find too difficult to be able to enter the MWC.
The brands, but also the Press Association, should take up the issue in order to prevent this problem from happening again next year.

Parents of Chibok schoolgirls beg Boko Haram
At the fifth anniversary of the abduction of Chibok Schoolgirls by Boko Haram, parents have fervently appealed to insurgents to release the remaining girls.
Some of the parents told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Maiduguri narrated the ordeals of their daughters who were abducted in their Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno state April 14, 2014.
A rally to mark the anniversary was organized by a non-governmental Organisation, 'Al'amin Foundation for Peace and Development' .
At least 270 of the schoolgirls were abducted.
Some of the girls escaped, including, Amina Ali.
Another set of 21 girls were freed in October 2016, while one girl was also rescued in November same year by the military.
Similarly, 82 girls were freed following negotiations with government in May 2017, while one more girl was rescued in January 2018.
Recheal Daniel, a mother of one of the abducted girls, Rose Daniel, appealed to the Boko Haram factional leader, Abubakar Shekau, to release her daughter.
Daniel lamented that the incident had subjected her to pain and agony, adding that her husband was also killed by the insurgents.
She said that since then, she had been shouldering the up-bringing of six children left behind by her husband.
Ayuba Alamson, a guardian to some of the abducted girls, said six of his niece and sisters were abducted at the school on the fateful day.
Alamson said that three of the girls had been freed while the remaining were still with the insurgents.
He lamented that about 18 affected parents had died due to health complications associated with trauma they experienced as a result of the abduction of their daughters.
Alamson urged the Federal Government, United Nations (UN) and development organisations not to relent in their effort at ensuring the release of the girls from captivity.
"I also pray for the freedom Leah Sharibu, the only girl held back by Boko Haram insurgents after they released over 112 girls abducted at Government Girls Secondary School in Dapchi, Yobe.
Musa Maina, another resident of Chibok, appealed for the release of his wife, Zahra Musa, and daughter, Hadiza Musa, from captivity.
Maina recounted that he fled Chibok to Konduga after the April 14 school abduction incident, only to ended up in another abduction trap set by the insurgents..
"Two people came to my house with guns in an attempt to kill me. I and my second wife managed to escape but they took away my first wife and her daughter," he said.
On her part, Mrs Hamsatu Allamin, the Director of Al'amin Foundation for Peace and Development, said thousands of women and children were being held hostage by the insurgents..
Allamin disclosed that the organization had embarked on comprehensive campaign to create awareness on abduction of women by the insurgents in the northeast.
She called for concrete measures to secure the release of the Chibok School girls and other persons being held by the insurgents throughout the country. (NAN)

Sam Baldock is looking forward to Albion's debut season in the Premier League.
Brighton & Hove Albion striker Sam Baldock says he can't wait to test himself in the Premier League after signing a new three-year contract with the club yesterday.
The 28-year-old is determined to continue improving as a player following his most-productive season for the Seagulls that culminated in promotion to the top flight.
He said, "A three-year deal means you feel wanted and that the club want you to stay for that amount of time. You feel that they can continue to improve you as a player, because there's always more steps to climb.
"I've been there before [Premier League] but I've never played, so that's something that I want to get under my belt. I'm untested really, so I could have found my level!
Baldock is prepared for the high standard of opposition in Albion's debut season in the Premier League, and says he is looking forward to getting pre-season training underway after a well-deserved summer break.
"I was with some of the boys and we were looking through the fixtures and there are no easy games. We're going to have to find our feet as we go, but I have no doubt that the manager will have us very well prepared.
The forward scored 12 goals and claimed seven assists during Albion's promotion-winning campaign, and he reflected on a memorable period that he will never forget.

Dorien Davies '98 Brings Beloved Characters to Life Onscreen as a Digital Puppeteer
Dorien Davies '98 in the Charlie Chaplin Sound Stage at the Jim Henson Company. Photo courtesy of Dorien Davies
Dorien Davies '98 didn't always dream of being a puppeteer. Instead, her journey into the tightly knit world of puppeteering began after years of acting and writing comedy productions.
Before an encounter with the famed Jim Henson Company guided Davies onto her current path, she majored in theatre at Mount Holyoke. As an undergraduate she was drawn to comedy but says she "always felt that comedy was somehow not legitimate." After graduating, Davies moved to Los Angeles and spent her first decade out of college challenging this notion and developing what would become a unique comedic style, honed during years of doing improv comedy.
In LA, Davies began attending Henson Company-sponsored workshops, where she learned puppetry skills from seasoned puppeteers and nurtured a connection with the art form. Soon she found her niche and launched what has become a successful and unique career.
I always felt that comedy was somehow not legitimate. Dorien Davies '98
Within the puppetry community, Davies represents a rare group—digital puppeteers. She defines digital puppeteering as puppetry in which every movement animates the character. On the children's television show Word Party, Davies does both the voice and facial movements of an effervescent purple panda named Lulu, whose body is controlled by a different puppeteer. To develop the role, she says, "I locked myself in a room and learned all the songs," mastered the voice, and perfected "every mouth shape," developed to animate the character more fully.
When she booked a significant role in the 2017 Netflix show Julie's Greenroom, another Henson Company-produced project, Davies faced the choice of leaving her husband and young daughter behind in California to film in New York City. But, she says, "The coolest thing about Henson is that everyone [who works there] is a parent." The company hired her husband as well, and the family moved together to New York City during the months of the filming.
With a career constantly in flux, Davies, who also works as a voiceover artist and actress, eventually would love to write and produce her own show. "That's where I'm moving," she says. She hopes to build on the experience of writing an episode for Word Party and is now putting more time into her own independent projects.

Q: How to fetch data without useEffect hooks in React function component? I know the conventional way when using hooks is to fetch the data using the useEffect hook. But why can't I just call axios in the functional component instead of a hook and then set the data.
Basically, I am asking what is wrong with doing this:
const [users, setUsers] = useState(null);
axios.get("some api call")
  .then(res => setUsers(res.data))

Here, I do not use useEffect, what could go wrong?

A: Making a request and changing the state on render like that will cause the component to re-render forever.
Every time the component renders, e.g. due to props changing or due to hooks changing, that axios.get request gets called. When it gets a response, it will update the state. Then, because the state has changed, the component re-renders, and axios.get is called again. And the state changes again, and the request is made again, forever.

A: Prefer useEffect(() => code... , []).
That said, you can also do it while avoiding an infinite loop but it's a very bad practice and I don't recommend it.
Yes, you will have a re-render but you won't have an infinite loop. Use useState's lazy init function.
const [users, getUsers] = useState(() => {
   axios.get("some api call")
     .then(res => getUsers(res.data))
});

A: Best practice is :
const [users,getUsers]= useState();
useEffect ( () => {
   axios.get("some api call")
  .then(res=>getUsers(res.data))
}, []);

In the last couple of years, the Kia Sorento has evolved and has indeed carved a niche for itself when it comes to the mid-size-SUV cars. The Kia Sorento comes with a long manufacture's warranty. The Kia Sorento also has multiple engines, several other desirable materials, and a 3-row seating. Thereafter, for the year 2016 the Kia Sorento has been redefined and re-made in order to stay at the top in priority lists of the customers. Read below, the difference between the 2016 model of Kia Sorento and its predecessor on several comparison lines.
The interior of the Kia Sorento looked a little outdated in the 2015 version of the Kia Sorento. Now, the makers have putted in all the best efforts to update and upgrade the Kia Sorento in its 2016 version. The dashboard has been redesigned to look appealing. You will also notice an updated infotainment system in the new model of the car. The other changes in the interior include a new steering wheel, a more expansive center console accompanied by several new buttons and a new gauge cluster. Other materials used in the interior have also been improved. The car now looks more spacious than before.
You will notice thorough changes in the exterior of the 2016 model of Kia Sorento when compared with its predecessor. Though you cannot call these changes dramatic yet. The evident updates in the exterior of Kia Sorento include a unique fog-light style that makes use of four different lamps, more rounded corners, a new rear end with updated taillights and a larger grille.
The powertrains of the new model of the Kia Sorento has been increased from two to three.
The model's base-level engine is of 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. In the 2016 model of Kia Sorento, the power may slightly vary from 191 horsepower to 185 horsepower. The use of midrange engine that is supported by a base-level 4-cylinder and the Sorento's optional V6 is something to look forward in the 2016 version of Kia Sorento.
While taking a ride on the new Kia Sorento 2016, you will notice significant changes in the overall driving experience. The suspension has been improved dramatically. This will ensure that you get a smooth and comfortable driving experience. The handling has been made more responsive. It also possesses an imposing view of the road. The older version too had the same, so this is not something to be called as a change.
The federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not yet crash- tested the 2016 version of the Kia Sorento. However, the 2015 model of the Kia Sorento had a complete 5 star rating when it comes to safety and we are quite sure that the same rating would be given to the 2016 version of the car. The latest version has been tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The IIHS is a nonprofit organization and it has given the model a Top Safety Pick score. It would have received the Top Safety Pick+ if it would have had an additional feature of automatic braking.
Finally, we conclude, that you will definitely experience an evolution in the 2016 version of Kia Sorento when officially compared to the predecessor. The styling has just evolved slightly, however, when we talk about the interior then you can be quite certain that it has been improved significantly. The Engines of the latest version of Kia Sorento are mainly carried over. Moreover, the crash safety feature and new midrange turbo charged 4-cylinder will probably remain same to last year's model of Kia Sorento. The ride comfort has been significantly enhanced and the handling is flawless. The larger interior will provide you with unbeatable safety and convenience when on the wheels.


Yesterday was a manic Monday with lots happening, including a speech from the Prime Minister on Brexit and mental health.
There were waves in Northern Ireland after Deputy FM Martin McGuinness resigned, which seems likely to bring down the Stormont government and lead to an election in the coming months. For those interested in the detail of how that might go, this periscope session from Bill White and Basil McCrea at LucidTalk in Belfast is worth watching.
On the other side of the Irish sea, we got two voting intention polls, with ICM showing the Conservatives 14 points ahead across GB, unchanged from December, and YouGov putting Labour 5 points ahead in Wales. As I wrote in the poll alert last night, the swing away from Labour is very similar in England and Wales (it's bigger in Scotland).
These numbers are pretty much in line with other recent polling, which even the left of Labour is beginning to get concerned about. Jeremy Corbyn's rebranding as a left wing populist is certainly something that will be very interesting to watch. Keiran Pedley, who isn't generally too optimistic about Labour's prospects under its current leader, thinks it "might just work".
The first big announcement since the change of tack concerned Brexit, with Corbyn saying Labour were "no longer wedded to freedom of movement", though still support single market access.
What that depends on is the balance of two numbers. Labour felt (correctly, I think) that it needed to pick a side on immigration to reduce the risk of a "Scotland" type situation arising in its English and Welsh heartlands. Remainers will hate this and some will quit, Leavers will like and some that would otherwise have left will stay (and some might even return) and the question is which of these effects is greater.
Since the Blair years Labour's vote has become increasingly metropolitan, so the risks are clear. It is likely that to maintain Labour's current level of support, it will need to win back some of the lost Leave voters.
The timing is good, though, ahead of the Copeland by-election which could be a few weeks away, or could be in May – the decision doesn't seem to have been taken yet.
Also on Brexit-related matters, there's an interesting piece from Guy Goodwin at NatCen about attitudes to international students – interestingly, most of the public doesn't regard them as migrants at all.


Optimized Woman spells out how you can use your menstrual cycle to achieve success and fulfillment. I feel so empowered and excited to share this information with every woman I know. If we can manage to give ourselves the understanding of what is going on within us, we can use this phase to our advantage instead of fearing it. Like I kept discovering them not working for me after all. And also which areas of our life might be more difficult for us. If the condition is critical to your decision to purchase, then please contact us and we will let you know our view of its condition.
The book offers you a daily plan of Optimum Time practical activities that you can tailor to your circumstances and cycle -- whether natural or medically managed. The Optimized Woman: Using Your Menstrual Cycle to Achieve Success and Fulfillment Author s : Share If you want to get ahead, get a cycle. As a male professional business and life coach I can freely relate to many of the concepts and observations you make about how to make best use of the female phases during the course of each month. Reading through this was as baffling as it was enlightening. I felt like an entire side of the subject was left blank.
I would feel much better if I knew where Gray's claims stem from on a hormonal level. I'm well aware that those descriptions were only meant to be examples and that they weren't supposed to fit all women perfectly, but still. Or if you just want to admire female nature. The menstrual cycle consists of Optimum Times - days of heightened performance skills and abilities. It even has a chapter for the men in our lives who may want to learn how to understand us better and help us to live happier and more fulfilled lives through becoming more attuned with the natural workings of our bodies. Therefore, the book comes across as a bit mystical, which is off-putting.
It would have been nice to see how the body chemistry is changing through the cycle, and how that affects different areas of mood, energy, ability, and concentration. And also which areas of our life might be more difficult for us. Review This book is a must read for any woman who is seeking to maximize her ability to accomplish her dreams and goals by utilizing and understanding the power of her menstrual cycle. For other regions, please select your delivery zone from the dropdown list. But reading through the different chapters, I kept finding myself in the descriptions. There are good ideas in the book on weaving in actions to cater to our emotional and intellectual needs, as well as important and helpful reminders and advice for different phases in the cycle. I love that there are charts to fill out and lists of things to look for.
The book gives a different way of looking at how we deal with day to day commitments - that we are consistent in a different way. Use el botón disponible en esta página para descargar o leer libros en línea. I wish that there had been more of a biological explanation though, showing how the change of each hormone triggers changes in our organs, appetites, and physical attributes. It is actually interesting as a subject and it makes sense but there is so much repeating that i found it a robbery. Miranda Gray outlines the cyclic nature of women's perception and abilities and how they fit within the emotional, mental and physical changes of the menstrual cycle. This book helps you to accept your individuals gifts and limitations, opening the door to happiness.
Being someone who reads up on this topic a lot, I knew most of the things mentioned in this book. When we 'match the task to the time' we have the opportunity to excel beyond our expectations. But reading through the different chapters, I kept finding myself in the descriptions. The author went into too much detail on each phase and it wasn't interesting so I found myself skimming a lot of the book. I found those chapters dry and difficult to follow. Miranda Gray's first book Red Moon is available in a new revised edition.
Before I read this book, there were phases when I hated to be a woman. Interesting ideas, certainly, and I'll keep them in mind throughout my menstrual cycle. We emerge like a phoenix from the ashes and are ready to tackle a new cycle. Again, I appreciated the cohesive look at a month's worth of insight in one place. It motivates me, it teaches me, it helps me grow.
Mostly in a creative phase, there were moments when I literally did not understand my way of thinking and acting. Still, it is interesting, and I'd recommend people give it a perusal if you happen to find it at your library. Better than I thought, but I'm still not convinced by expertise of the author. The Expressive phase This is the phase most of us dread. I would feel much better if I knew where Gray's claims stem from on a hormonal level. And a lack of references to other research doesn't help the issue. The E-mail message field is required.
The Optimized Woman Using the menstrual cycle to achieve success and fulfillment. If you want to get ahead, get a cycle. To recognize the repetition of moods and feelings during menstrual cycle and then use it for further planning is fenomenal idea. I am looking forward to starting the plan! Miranda Gray provides a practical tool that teaches women how to appreciate and respect the beauty and power of womanhood and feminine energy. Miranda offers us exciting new insights on how to make long lasting changes and to dare to live the life we want. Working against this nature is the reason so many women fail to reach their full potential or fail to feel completely happy and fulfilled.
The pre-menstrual phase or the phase of wildly ranging emotions and trouble with ourselves and others on cycle days 21-28. When we 'match the task to the time' we have the opportunity to excel beyond our expectations. I never thought of using the menstrual cycle as a success tool, but I will now! A really down to earth explanation of how to use your menstrual cycle to your benefit. Most materials I've read on this topic portray it in a negative way I'm guilty of writing such a too and it was refreshing to read a book that says the good things about having periods. Still, it is interesting, and I'd recommend people give it a perusal if Interesting ideas, certainly, and I'll keep them in mind throughout my menstrual cycle. And a lack of references to other research doesn't help the issue.

Criminal Misdeeds
by Randee Green
on Tour September 3 – 14, 2018
As far back as the Shatners can be traced, they have been breaking the law and running from it. It's a family tradition. Now Carrie Shatner is a detective and crime-scene technician with the Wyatt County Sheriff's Department in Eastern Texas. Over the years, she has tried to distance herself from her family's criminal activities. But that is easier said than done.
The Shatner family is celebrating New Year's Eve at the Wyatt County Fairgrounds in their usual style: illegal fireworks, homemade moonshine, and a near brawl. After shutting down the party, Carrie does a final sweep of the fairgrounds and finds a dead body in a dumpster.
Good news: the dead man is not a Shatner. Bad news: the Shatners are now suspects in a homicide investigation. Soon the fairgrounds are overrun with law enforcement, including Sergeant Jerrod Hardy, a Texas Ranger. The victim is Kyle Vance, Carrie's ex-boyfriend and a member of the Palmer family, who have been feuding with the Shatners since the Civil War.
Despite serious misgivings, Hardy allows Carrie to help him investigate. He knows she physically couldn't have beaten Vance to death, but he wonders if she is covering for a family member.

I come from a long line of criminals.
Moonshiners, rumrunners, and drug dealers. Horse thieves and carjackers. Bank robbers, burglars, pickpockets, and con artists. And then there has been the occasional killer. You name it, whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor, somewhere along the line a member of my family has committed it.
As far back as the Shatner family could be traced – from southern England to the mountains of western North Carolina, and now to the Piney Woods of East Texas – we had been breaking the law. And running from it, too.
It was a family tradition.
You see, the Shatners have never swum in the baby pool of life. We've always been out in the deep end, and we jumped in headfirst.
As for me, every day I fight my genetic predisposition to break the law. Some days I've been more successful than others. You see, I can't break the law when I'm the one who is supposed to be upholding it.
My name is Carrie Shatner, and for the last three-and-a-half years I have worked as a detective and crime scene technician for the Wyatt County Sheriff's Department in East Texas. That would put my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University to good use except there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of serious crime in Wyatt County. I mainly sat behind my desk all day, twiddling my thumbs, playing Sudoku, and keeping up with my various social media accounts.
While my official job was to process crime scenes and deal with all parts of criminal investigations, my unofficial job was to cover up my family's illegal activities and keep them out of jail. I'd be the first to admit that what I have been doing wasn't ethical. It was probably also criminal. I tried not to think about that too much. To be honest, I tried not to think about any of it too much. Most days I felt like quitting my job. Family obligation prevented that.
I'm not saying that all of the Shatners have been hardened criminals. Sure, most of the older ones were. But at least some of the younger ones shied away from the family business and seemed to be sticking to the straight and narrow. And they were the reason why I do what I do. Yes, I clean up the crimes of the guilty. But I do it to protect the innocent.
These days, the laws my various family members break have been fairly minor ones. Okay, some were still kind of major. But it was nothing compared to what we used to engage in. I mean, I'm pretty sure we were no longer involved in contract killing or organized crime.
What I did know was that my great-uncles had a moonshine still out in the woods and a marijuana crop concealed in a bunch of old Cold War bomb shelters. Every time I caught one of my family members selling the homebrew or the pot, they would promise me it was the last time. I didn't believe them. I didn't arrest them either, because I knew it wouldn't stop them. It would also infuriate the rest of the family. And, while tempting, that wasn't a risk I was quite willing to take. At least not yet.
Occasionally, one of the younger Shatners would steal a car or deface some public property or get busted for underage drinking. The older Shatners were always getting nabbed for public indecency and public intoxication. Some of them were also heavily involved in insurance scams. And then there had been the occasional assault. But we hadn't killed anyone – accidently or on purpose – in years. Or, if someone had, I didn't know about it.
When you got down to it, the majority of the bad things that the Shatners have done were just plain dumb. And, as far as I knew, being stupid wasn't illegal. We would have been in serious trouble otherwise.
I don't want you to go into this thinking that all of the Shatners were bad people. Most of them have just been a little misguided.
At least that's what I kept telling myself.
Until I found the body.

net harm is the opposite of net good, i.e. an evaluation (however imperfect) of the net amount of harm attributable to a given act, after the good attributable to that act has also been taken into consideration.

Every year I am always inspired at the adorable Valentine's Day projects on one of my favorite blogs, Twig & Thistle. Last year it was an adorable print out for packaging heart-shaped brownies, and this year it's an equally sweet printable for Valentine goody-bags. Honestly, I wish I had the talent to come up with this stuff, but since I don't, it's awfully nice that Kathleen is gracious enough to share her cute creations with all of us.
Skip on over to her blog, but be prepared to spend some time looking through the archives, there's too many good things to simply pass over!
P.S. Thanks for following me, or commenting about my last post…you guys made me happy!

Олекса́ндр Тисо́вський  (псевдо Дрот; 9 серпня 1886, Львів — 29 березня 1968, Відень) — український галицький педагог, основоположник й організатор Пласту, доктор біологічних наук, дійсний член НТШ, вчитель природознавства Академічної гімназії, професор Українського Таємного Університету, Львівського Державного Університету ім. І. Франка та вищих аґрономічних курсів у Львові.

Освіта
Освіту здобув у Львові: початкову — у 1892–1895 рр. в приватній 4-класній народній школі професора Вайгеля, середню — у 1895–1898 рр. в 2-й німецькій гімназії та у 1898–1904 рр. у Львівській академічній гімназії, яку закінчив з відзнакою. У 1904–1909 рр. навчався на філософському факультеті Львівського університету, де вивчав природознавство, математику та фізику. Спеціалізувався в зоології під проводом професора Юзефа Нусбавма-Гіляровича, під керівництвом якого захистив докторську працю «Zur Kenntuiβ des Gehörorganes und seiner Beziehünden zur Schwimmblase bei den Clupeiden (Extrait du Bulletin de l'Academie des sciencas de Cracovie. Janvier 1909)».

Диплом доктора філософії отримав 16 серпня 1910 р. Влітку 1912 р. відбув курс океанографії в музеї норвезького м. Бергена.

Створення і розвиток Пласту. Педагогічні засади

У 1911—1939 рр. викладав природознавство в Академічній гімназії Львова, де 1911 р. організовує пластовий гурток, з яким 12 квітня 1912 р. проводить першу Пластову присягу.

Вважаючи на те, що школа навчає, але не виховує, розробляє унікальну виховну систему, яка, хоч і подібна до системи світового скаутського руху, усе ж таки має декілька своїх відмінностей від більшості скаутських організацій світу. Основний принцип системи — через працю над собою до розвитку та гартувння свого характеру. Ключовим елементом у вихованні молоді, за Тисовським, є ігри та шляхетне змагання за найкраще виконання свого обов'язку. Головну увагу він покладав на самовиховання при допоміжній ролі виховника в Пласті.

У 1913 р. видає книжечку під назвою «Пласт», яка містить перші напрямні до розвитку українського пластового руху.
Часи Першої світової війни утверджують у думці щодо необхідності розвитку Пласту. У цей час Тисовський складає слова Пластового Обіту, який 19 грудня 1916 р. вперше виголосила як присягу тодішня 1 чота пластового полку (тепер куреня) ім. Петра Конашевича-Сагайдачного у Львові на своїх перших чотових сходинах. З огляду на війну, що тривала, у вступі Обіту з'ясовано умови часу, серед яких пластова молодь складала присягу.

У 1918 р. Тисовського обрано головою відновленої Верховної Пластової Команди (ВПК). Цього ж року він бере активну участь у Листопадовому Чині у Львові. Від 1920 р., як дійсний член Наукового товариства ім. Шевченка, впродовж чотирьох років є професором в Українському Таємному Університеті у Львові. 1921 р. видає підручник «Життя в Пласті» — посібник, яким керуються тисячі українських пластунів всього світу.

Вдруге обирається головою ВПК у 1924 р.. Після заборони «Пласту» у 1930 р. польською владою, активно працює у товаристві «Сокіл». У 1939 р. залишає викладання в Академічній Гімназії і стає професором Львівського Державного Університету ім. І. Франка, де працює до 1941 р..

У 1941–1943 рр. навчався на Вищих агрономічних курсах. У 1944 р., через наближення радянських військ до Львова, емігрує до Відня, де оселяється на постійно.

У 1961 р. видає другу редакцію свого підручника «Життя в Пласті».

Помер 29 березня 1968 р. та був похований у Відні.

Стараннями Юрія Ференцевича останки Олександра Тисовського, його дружини та сина були перевезені з Відня до Львова, де 24 серпня 2002 р. урочисто перепоховані в криптах «Стіни пам'яті» меморіалу вояків УГА-УПА на Личаківському цвинтарі.

Праці
 Праці з зоології і ботаніки українською та німецькою мовами;
 «Пласт (скавтінґ для юнаків) в українських школах» (у звіті Академічної гімназії 1912 — 13);
 «Пласт» (1913);
 «Життя в Пласті» (1921; 2 доповнене вид. 1961, 3 — 1969);
 Статті на виховні теми (зокрема, у пластових часописах).

Вшанування пам'яті
 Відомий діяч української діаспори у Великій Британії, адвокат Теодор-Тадей Данилів 1966 р. у Мюнхені видав книгу власного авторства «Основоположник Пласту: до 80-річчя професора доктора О. Тисовського».
 Пласт вшановує свого засновника належним чином, і на честь засновника Пласту названий 61 пластовий курінь імені Олександра Тисовського.
 Названа вулиця в Калуші.
 У Львові на фасаді будинку по вул. Глібова, 15 встановлено меморіальну таблицю О. Тисовському.
