"Shelby, don't say that, that's a bad word and forbidden in my household," my mother told me as a child. As I grew up, like all of us (well, most of us) do, I was taught what words were universally "bad." However, as an adult, I realized there were additional words and phrases that would be added to my "Don't You Dare Say That Dictionary." Number one in that book? "Working Out." I hate working out. Plagued with exercise-induced asthma, a bad back, rickety knees and a hatred for running, I have no desire to hit the gym in my brand new Lulu Lemon ensemble to burn off that poppy-seed bagel with cream cheese I ferociously devoured for breakfast (my kind of exercise).
To be fair, I was a dancer my entire life. I trained in ballet, contemporary, tap, jazz and lyrical and performed as a child, throughout college and with a company in NYC post-college. I never really considered dance exercise since it transported me to another world, a world where all my problems, stresses and worries disappeared as my body melted with the music. I suppose it was this that kept me in shape. However, 2 years ago during a very long rehearsal I felt a strange sensation invade my leg as my body flew through the air, mid-leap. When my toes landed on the ground, I knew something was wrong. I tried to walk but, instead, collapsed. I was carried out of rehearsal like a child, wrapped in the arms of my very strong choreographer. I was carefully placed in a fellow dancer's car and once back home, had to have my husband carry me up to our apartment. Ryan thought I was being dramatic (as he always does). He told me to sleep on it and if in the morning I was still in pain, to get it checked out. Well, for once, Ryan was wrong. I was not being dramatic, I was injured with a torn calf. I spent months in a boot, on crutches and in physical therapy before I could walk on my own two feet again.
Ever since, I've been terrified to get back in the studio, though I'm slowly regaining my courage. I have tried going to the gym, but I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to lifting weights and circuit training. And I refuse to spend money that could be well spent on a fabulous pair of shoes on a personal trainer. Every now and then I'll take a SoulCycle class (I actually don't mind spinning), but seriously, who can afford to go there everyday?
While Ryan dutifully goes to the gym at least 5 days a week, I have become soft around the edges… and a little bit in the middle. So, I've compiled a list of fitness classes, for both the body and mind, that are unique enough to perhaps trick my brain into believing that I am not working out, but instead, having fun.
When I think of exercising in a pool, I automatically imagine senior citizens practicing water aerobics at the YMCA. Well, I love being in the water, and this new pool-workout appears to be a far cry from the Silver Sneakers program. Aqua Studio NYC offers "aqua cycling," an underwater spin class in which you pedal against water-resistance. A single workout burns up to 800 calories, enhances blood flow, and combats cellulite. Works for me! Test it out before buying a multi-class package by taking an Intro Class for $35.
Om Factory seems to have it all. From aerial yoga to aerial circus arts, you'll be exercising with your feet off the ground. As an aerial yoga beginner, you will learn how to balance using the fabric as support and flip in the air. Get your circus on at Om Factory with their SKYBOX Aerial Circus class! They offer a range of circus-style classes including Silks, Lyra, Rope, Straps & Static Trapeze. If you're not convinced yet, you can add some bounce to your workout. Introducing Bungee, an aerial art form that will give you the opportunity to both defy gravity and experience weightlessness. In this class you will manipulate the tension provided by the bungee cords against the floor to create beautiful, floating, and flowing movements in the air. But, don't be fooled, I hear it's a killer cardio workout!
Fan of This Is Us? Who Isn't? I had never heard of Pound until I watched Chrissy Metz's character, Kate, slamming sticks together at a weight-loss camp. I actually thought the show made this workout up. Clearly I was wrong. Pound is becoming a popular fitness routine, a cardio jam session inspired by playing the drums. Using Ripstix (lightly weighted exercise drumsticks) will get your heart pounding and your back dripping in sweat while becoming the music in this full-body workout. It combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements. If Kate can do it, I can too!
Workout like the stars. AKT is a favorite to celebrities Kelly Ripa, Shakira, and Karlie Kloss, and serves more than 800 clients a week. Okay, but what is it? AKT is a dance-based interval class that combines circuit training, HIIT, strength, toning, Pilates, and yoga. One of my favorite things about AKT, at least according to their website, there is no intimidation. They profess, "If you like getting hollered at, then there are plenty of places for you—but this one probably isn't it. While AKT's teachers are professional dancers, you're not expected to have any prior experience—or even coordination!—to enjoy and excel at AKT. Move at your own pace while being challenged." I hate feeling like I'm not keeping up with the others, so the fact that I can move at my own pace without feeling mental pressure definitely appeals to me!
FloatFit classes are offered worldwide and at TMPL Gym in New York City. Using "The Aquabase," the first ever floating exercise mat, the class offers a low impact, cross training, full body workout in a dimly lit saltwater pool. The environment may seem relaxing, but this class is no swim in the shallow end. Expect to do burpees, lunges, squats, mountain climbers, and the plank…. all on water. This one seems the most intimidating to me. For some reason I can easily see myself falling into the pool on more than one occasion (and quite possibly on purpose). I suppose there's only one way to find out… I'll definitely be trying FloatFit this summer.
What are some of your favorite fit ness routines? I'm clearly suggestions!
Maybe I'll actually try the water spinning .. can't hurt .. can it ?

The Collected Fantasies, Volume 3: A Vintage from Atlantis Clark Ashton Smith
Night Shade Books is proud to present The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith in five volumes. Editors Scott Connors and Ron Hilger have compared original manuscripts, various typescripts, published editions, and Smith's notes and letters, in order to prepare a definitive set of texts.
This series will present Smith's fiction chronologically, based on composition rather than publication. The editorial decision to present these finely crafted tales chronologically, as opposed to thematically, was made in order to present Smith's fiction as part of a continuum—Smith's style evolved as he grew older, and gained access to the commercial markets. The ebb and flow of his prose over the course of his lifetime can be charted via the five volumes of this series.
The Collected Fantasies series is authorized by the Smith Estate, and is endorsed by Arkham House. Night Shade Books has been publishing weird and fantastic fiction, and related material, since its inception.
In addition to Smith, Night Shade has published H. P. Lovecraft, Manly Wade Wellman, William Hope Hodgson, and Lord Dunsany. Night Shade has published dozens of contemporary writers of Fantasy, SF, and Horror.
A Vintage from Atlantis is the third of five volumes that collects all of Clark Ashton Smith's tales of fantasy, horror, and science fiction, faithfully following Smith's manuscripts. It includes, in chronological order, all of his stories from "The Holiness of Azédarac" (November 1933) to "The Colossus of Ylourgne" (June 1934). This volume also features an introduction by Michael Dirda, as well as extensive notes on each story.

Don't just manage performance – improve it.
Control costs without sacrificing growth.
Given the nature of current incentives (meeting quarterly or annual targets), the challenge is to meet short-term targets while preserving strategic growth initiatives.
Understand what drives cost and value.
Without this understanding, managers are unlikely to allocate resources appropriately and know where to make improvements. At best, it may generate suboptimal results; at worst, it could inadvertently and irreparably destroy value.
Organizations that can identify opportunities and threats more easily than their competitors, understand the implications, update strategy quickly and then execute that strategy consistently across the organization will be the winners.
Identify and respond to risks and opportunities.
A focus on the "triple bottom line" of people, profit and planet drives increased brand value through innovation, improves internal efficiencies and accountability, and engenders the loyalty of consumers, employees and other stakeholders.
See a clean and simple reality. Ensure data quality, transparency and relevance for action.
Manage and align resources (people, money and technology) to strategy. Understand how cost and value flow through the organization and what drives or influences variation.
Improve foresight and optimize value. Prove which KPIs drive strategy; forecast and predict future outcomes with accuracy; and optimize resources and activity for maximum value creation.
Learn, share, codify and adapt. Understand why things succeed or fail, and update and communicate strategic change quickly and consistently for improved agility.
Evolve through experimentation and innovation. Simulate and plan options based on facts, not intuition, and prove which options deliver the best balance of risk and reward.

Chairman of the National Health Fund (NHF), Christopher Zacca, provides details about the increase in subsidy on drugs for children during a JIS Think Tank on August 31.
The National Health Fund (NHF) will be increasing its subsidy on drugs, respiratory devices and diabetic supplies for children from zero to 18 years by 100 per cent effective September 1.
The entity will be spending approximately $70 million per year to facilitate the increase.
NHF CEO, Everton Anderson said parents and caregivers, who use NHF cards to purchase prescription drugs for children, will now pay less.
He said that the largest group of beneficiaries will be children suffering from asthma, which represents approximately 9,000 or 76 per cent of the almost 11,000 minors on the NHF Card programme.
"In the case of asthmatics, the subsidy will increase from approximately 46% to an average of 92% of the cost of the prescribed asthma drugs," he noted.
The new subsidy for devices used in asthma treatment is $742.06 for masks and $1, 209.32 for spacers for a combined sum of $1, 951.38.
The second largest group of beneficiaries is children afflicted with epilepsy at 1,018, followed by diabetes at 317, and sickle cell sufferers at 280.
According to the CEO, the increase forms part of a broader review mandated by the board to look at access for beneficiaries.
In 2015, the NHF approved over four million claims at a cost of $3.9 billion.
The NHF covers prescription drugs for 16 chronic illnesses including arthritis, glaucoma, major depression, psychosis, rheumatic heart disease and sickle cell disease.

Photo (fo-to), n., short for photograph, from the Greek, phos (φως), meaning "light", and -grapho (γράφω), meaning "to write/draw". An image created by light. Cascadia (kas-kad-ee-a), n., a term that derives from the Cascade Range, referring to the Pacific Northwest.
The purpose of the Photo Cascadia Team is to explore areas of natural beauty, encourage stewardship and conservation and offer inspiration by sharing our images, our stories, and our knowledge with other photographers who share our passion.
Photo Cascadia consists of seven photographers: Erin Babnik, Sean Bagshaw, David Cobb, Adrian Klein, Kevin McNeal, Chip Phillips, and Zach Schnepf. We are all from the Cascadia region and share the common interest of photographing the striking beauty of the outdoors, especially the Northwestern United States. Along with a variety of content on this website, we maintain a blog that is updated regularly where we share educational insights, images and stories from our travels, tips and tricks, and other photography-related content. Our goal is not only to share wonderful images and stories with viewers but to provide an online resource that will be a benefit to photographers of all levels. We also offer workshops as team member collaborations and as individual offerings.

Q: Jquery adds selector and fades in but fades out the entire header Basically, I have my header navigation I want to fade in once the user scrolls down past a certain point. Here is a quick fiddle.
$(window).scroll(function() {
    if ($(document).scrollTop() > 150) {
        $('#main').addClass('appear');
        $('#main').fadeIn(1000);
    } else {
        $('#main').removeClass('appear');
        $('#main').fadeOut(1000);
    }
});

The problems I'm having are

*

*It's fading out the original header even if I change the fadeOut to use appear instead.

*Once the animation is done and it fades away style display:none is added and the content jumps up.

A: Here is a sample snippet which does the job

$(window).scroll(function() {
/*added one more condition(hasClass) because once document scrollTop > 150 this condition will be success again and again but at first we add fixed class so checking this this will avoid this problem*/
if ($(document).scrollTop() > 150 && !$('header').hasClass('fixed'))
{
/*here stop will stop any on going animation
first set oppacity to 0 (.css('opa...)) then add fixed class and start animation from 0 to 1
*/     $('header').stop().css('opacity',0).addClass('fixed').animate({opacity:1});
}
/*when document scrolled back to top (<150) and have the fixed class we added earlier an aditional condition which checks if an animation is not ongoing*/
if ($(document).scrollTop() < 150 && $('header').hasClass('fixed') && !$('header').is(':animated'))
{
/*animate opacity to 0, in the animation complete callback set the opacity to 1 and remove fixed class this will make the beg header to appear again when scrolled to top*/
  $('header').stop().animate({opacity:0},function(){
   $(this).css('opacity','1').removeClass('fixed');
  });
}

});
header {
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 25px;
    font-weight: bold;
    background-color: #d6e0ae;
    padding: 20px 0;
}
header.fixed {
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    top: 0;
    animation-name: fadeIn;
    animation-duration: 1s;
    padding: 0;
}

In fact, fully 40% of OSSC members don't have a greenhouse! The photos on these pages are all examples of plants that have been grown in Southern California, both in and out of greenhouses, and come from the OSSC flickr group, which is open to all Southern California orchid enthusiasts. By default, the "most interesting" photos are presented first. (Note: the degree of "interestingness" is determined by flickr's proprietary methodology.)

The NGO Committee on Social Development is working hard to create interest in the February 2016 meeting of the UN Commission on Social Development (CSocD). As the first UN Commission to be held after the approval of the Sustainable Development Goals, there is a great deal of interest in the procedures it will set up. NGOs are hoping it will create some good precedents relating to how much civil society is allowed to participate. With the rest of the NGO Executive Committee, Michele has visited some of the UN ambassadors and staff who are members of the "Bureau" (like a steering committee) – notably the Romanian Ambassador (the new chair of the Bureau of the Commission on Social Development) and the vice-chair from the Dominican Republic. Both seemed pleased to have a promise of help from civil society, and we hope that provision can be made for more NGO participation.

Stefano Bombardieri is an Italian artist born in 1968. After studying in his father's studio where he acquired a deep knowledge of the different technics linked to sculpturing, he concentrated his creation to an imaginative reality close to fantastic and hyperrealist universe.
He found his inspiration in Arte Povera, but also Minimalism and Conceptual art.
Since the 90s, he works on monumental projects. Many of them have been displayed in public spaces (in Italy and Germany), as well as in private collections.
In 2007, the artist was invited by the Syrian pavilion to the 52nd biennale of Venice with is work « Europa Pallida Madre »

John Colin Watson (1 February 1920 – 18 January 1983) was a British writer of detective fiction and the creator of characters such as Inspector Purbright and Lucilla Teatime. Born in Croydon, Surrey, he is best remembered for the twelve Flaxborough novels, typified by their comic and dry wit and set in a fictional small town in England which is closely based on Boston, Lincolnshire.  He worked as a journalist in Lincolnshire and the characters in his books are said to be highly recognisable caricatures of people he encountered in his work.

His 1971 study of interwar thrillers, Snobbery With Violence, made the phrase popular for describing such authors as Dornford Yates.

Watson was the first person to successfully sue Private Eye for libel, for an article in issue 25 when he objected to being described as: "the little-known author who . . . was writing a novel, very Wodehouse but without the jokes". He was awarded £750. He died in Folkingham, Lincolnshire in 1983.

Inspector Walter Purbright
The central character in the Flaxborough Chronicles, Inspector Walter Purbright, is perhaps not the most intellectually dazzling detective in fiction. He does, though, provide an unusually solid core of decency and civilisation around which more fanciful and sometimes whimsical events can be strung. His understanding of the case in hand emerges from a process of polite, measured enquiry. Purbright's decency is at the heart of Watson's thesis: that civilised life depends on basic tolerance, decency and the honesty of its guardians. His commitment to total impartiality, his refusal to be deflected by special interests and social position and his scrupulous refusal to cut procedural corners all go to make up a quintessentially English hero.

Miss Teatime
Miss Lucilla Edith Cavell Teatime is a ladylike conwoman whose occasional lapses into verbal vulgarity make her all the more endearing. She has a liking for whisky, a game of dominoes and all things tasteful. She first steps off the train in Flaxborough (a town once described as having the fictional solidarity of Arnold Bennett's Five Towns) in the fourth mystery set there, Lonelyheart 4122. She likes the town so much that she settles there, even though her attempt at swindling through a lonely-hearts bureau nearly makes her the third woman killed by another swindler. She appears in all subsequent Flaxborough novels except Blue Murder. By the eleventh volume, Plaster Sinners, she is the proprietress of the 'House of Yesteryear' in Northgate, Flaxborough, and a regular attender at local auctions. Her odd talents and sleight of hand remain much in evidence. On one occasion two glass decanters are rendered extremely cheap when she casually transfers the stoppers to a tray of miscellaneous items, which she then bids for as well. Her final appearance is in Whatever's Been Going On At Mumblesby? where we find her with an assistant called Edgar and offering opinions on the marketability of such religious relics as saints' kneecaps. In the 1977 Murder Most English BBC television series, which offered adaptations of four of Colin Watson's Flaxborough novels, Lucy Teatime was portrayed by Brenda Bruce.

Adaptations
Four of the Flaxborough novels were adapted for television by the BBC under the series title Murder Most English.  The four were Hopjoy Was Here, Lonelyheart 4122, The Flaxborough Crab and Coffin Scarcely Used. The adaptations successfully reflected key elements of the books: the gentle behind-the-times feel of a small English market town, the merciless targeting of the pretensions of some of the town's social leaders, and the author's notion that whatever exotic trappings are used to decorate the plot, the central crime is always motivated by money. Anton Rodgers starred as Purbright with Christopher Timothy as Detective Sergeant Love and Brenda Bruce as Miss Lucilla Teatime.  Colin Watson produced the ninth Flaxborough novel, One Man's Meat, to coincide with the series. Although the novels are based on the Lincolnshire market town of Boston, some scenes for the adaptation were filmed in the much smaller market town of Alford, also in Lincolnshire. In that town, the original Victorian police station - complete with huge wooden hooks in the walls for the sergeants' horses' saddles - had only been replaced by a new police station four years earlier, in 1974. Hence, it was available, with all its trappings, for the production company.

Four of the novels were adapted for BBC Radio 4, Bump in the Night (1971), Lonelyheart 4122 (1990), Charity Ends at Home (1992) and The Naked Nuns (1993).

Interference Archive on PRINT Magazine website
by Kevin Caplicki
In the News, Justseeds Member Projects
Steven Heller interviewed Justseeds member/Interference Archive co-founder Kevin Caplicki, along with archive members Jen Hoyer, Bonnie Gordon and Louise Barry, for PRINT Magazine's website.
The Interference Archive in Brooklyn, New York, contains over 10,000 items that are accessible to the public. The Archive explores the relationship between cultural production and social movements through exhibitions, a study and social center, talks, screenings, publications, workshops and an extensive website. It features numerous objects that are created as part of social movements by the participants themselves: posters, flyers, publications, photographs, books, T-shirts and buttons, moving images and audio. On June 1 the new exhibition "Take Back the Fight: Resisting Sexual Violence From the Ground Up" will open. In this current political climate, design has a major role to play in maintaining a loyal opposition and a heartfelt resistance to injustice. This Archive is one of the methods. I asked a few of its major contributors—Bonnie Gordon, Jen Hoyer, Louise Barry and Kevin Caplicki—to discuss its role and goals.
I'm amazed that the Archive is new to me, since much of what you collect derives from my own early years in the late '60s. Tell me how and why you started this important collection?
Interference Archive originally formed to address the need for activists to document and tell their own histories. The perspective of those working to affect social change has often been marginalized in the mainstream telling of history and by institutions vested with the responsibility of preserving these histories. Traditional institutions—including libraries, universities and museums—sometimes enact restrictions around access to historical materials which should be made accessible to all. Interference Archive sought to combat this problem by creating a public archive and social center where activists, students, educators and those who played a role in producing cultural materials used in movement work would be able to access and share this information freely.

According to an article in the Forbes magazine that is the decision that separates two types of inventors: the "inventor-for-royalties" and the "entrepreneurial-inventor". Entrepreneurial inventors should not be confused with innovators, even though the terms are closely related. In my opinion the main difference is that the innovator does not need necessarily to invent something himself, he can innovate with inventions that other people created.
Licensing out the invention has some benefits. It does not require an initial capital investment, it is simpler and it gives the inventor the possibility to focus on what he really likes to do, that is inventing.
Statistically, however, it is estimated that only 13% of the inventors who decide to license their invention are successful. Entrepreneurial-inventors, on the other hand, hit the jackpot half of the times.
Are you a gifted salesperson?
Are you a talented manager?
Are you a business innovator?
If you answered no to all the 4 questions then probably licensing is the best deal for you. If instead 2 or 3 of them apply to you maybe you should consider taking the responsibility on your own shoulders.

Piercing the austral winds with its rocky 22,841' summit, Aconcagua is the highest mountain in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres, the tallest peak on earth outside of the Himalayas, and one of the fabled Seven Summits.
Trek up the winding Vacas Valley to Aconcagua's secluded eastern side, avoiding the larger crowds of the Ruta Normal.
Climb Aconcagua with an experienced RMI Guide, benefiting from the background, training, and expertise of our guides as you venture to higher altitudes.
Enjoy the comforts of excellent Base Camp facilities, great food, and a well outfitted expedition: all the small advantages that add up to a more enjoyable experience.
Improve your chances of reaching the summit with an itinerary that includes training and proper acclimatization and has the flexibility to accommodate for the uncertainties of Aconcagua's weather.
Beginning our expedition in the tree lined streets of Mendoza, home of Argentina's famed Malbec grapes, we head into the heart of the Andes on our way to the foot of Aconcagua. We avoid the busier Ruta Normal and instead follow the Vacas Valley on our approach to the mountain, gradually introducing ourselves to the thin mountain air along the way. Three days of trekking, fording rivers, and navigating twisting valleys brings us to the base of Aconcagua's hidden east side where the climbing begins.
Standing in the heart of the Andes, wedged between Chile and Argentina, Aconcagua's lofty heights make it the ideal introduction to high altitude mountaineering.
From our Base Camp at Plaza Argentina we follow the Guanacos Variation. We establish three successive camps on the mountain, navigating the mountain's sprawling rock moraines and towering snow penitentes as we climb to our high camp at 19,600' on the mountain's northeastern side. Once properly acclimatized we set out on our summit bid, climbing past the looming rock gendarmes, beneath the cliffs guarding its summit, and up the narrow Canaleta couloir to Aconcagua's summit.
While the ascent is a relatively straightforward technical endeavor, the mountain's sheer height and unpredictable weather makes any attempt to scale it a true challenge. This is the ideal expedition for climbers looking to break new height records, gain valuable experience on long climbing expeditions to high altitudes, and challenge themselves on one of the world's great peaks.
Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. was established in 1969 and is one of America's oldest and most-trusted guide services. We are the largest guide service on Mt. Rainier and Denali and leaders in guiding climbs and treks around the globe. Our years of leading mountain adventures give us the experience and knowledge to create the best possible trips and we work hard to live up to our reputation as an industry leader. Our trip preparation before departure takes care of the details for you, from hotels to airport transfers, so that you can focus on preparing for the climb of Aconcagua instead of the distraction that comes with coordinating logistics.
Our Aconcagua climbs are led by RMI's foremost U.S. guides, who bring years of climbing experience on not only Aconcagua but on mountains all over the world, from the Andes to the Alaska Range to the Himalayas. As you reach higher elevations and test the limits of your experience, the value of an accomplished, highly trained RMI Guide held to our standards cannot be understated. We are also fortunate to have Grajales Expeditions as our partners in Argentina. Our close relationship with Grajales offers our expeditions the support needed to ensure a seamless experience and is a major factor behind our trips' successes.
With fresh food and dining tents at Base Camp, our expeditions are carefully planned to give our climbers the greatest level of safety, comfort and chances of success on Aconcagua. We use RMI's own climbing equipment brought from the U.S., ensuring that our expedition standards of safety, quality, and reliability are met. Our exceptional focus on detail, our unparalleled level of climber attention, and our genuine excitement for these adventures are what make our Aconcagua guided climbs truly memorable.
Safety has always been RMI's top priority and we strive to create the safest mountain experience possible. RMI's experienced team of guides focus on leading a fun and successful climb without compromising safety. We apply the same standards of safety we bring to Alaska and the Himalayas to our climbs of Aconcagua. Medical facilities and doctors are stationed at Base Camp and comprehensive medical kits, rescue equipment, and radio and satellite communication equipment are carried with the team throughout the climb.
Careful planning, precise ascent profiles, flexibility in our itinerary, daily weather forecasts via satellite, and diligent attention are taken as we venture to high altitudes.
Everything from the time I left home until I returned home! It would be really tough to say what part of it was the best. I guess getting to the high point for me and the long expedition were such cool experiences.
Our participants and guides were the best ever. I feel very blessed--many of them will continue as friends and climbing colleagues. I would do a trip led by Mark Tucker anytime. He has a very special way that I very much appreciated on a challenge such as this. Hannah and Avery were absolutely amazing and so helpful and patient! I would really love to climb with and learn from them on a future trip as well. I am impressed and amazed at these guides and all that they do!
Being unplugged and breathing thin air with a nice view.
The entire trip was great, from Mendoza to the summit and back. In thinking back on the trip, there were some great team members and we were lucky with the weather and the mountain, but what really put the icing on the cake was the guide team. They just simply made things fun, period.
The guides and their coaching was top level.
The guides were energetic, fun and very skilled. The trip is very organized.
Meeting new people, experiencing the mountain for what it was.
Nothing that I can possibly think of - all aspects (expected and unexpected) were anticipated. Well done, as always!
Being able to go somewhere and do something that I knew I could never do on my own. Great days in the mountains, with a great team.
This program was much harder than expected and harder than almost any mountain I've climbed. I'd not hesitate to recommend participants complete a winter skills clinic or a Rainier summit before attempting this mountain as it's quite a mountain and you don't get close to the summit day experience while in the valley or on the upper mountain approach days so the summit push can come as a huge surprise to folks.
Being part of a climbing group that all had experience and were highly motivated. Made the group fast, efficient and committed.
I really enjoyed the expedition, I learned a lot from the guides and from the entire team. I will return to Aconcagua one day and I will keep climbing, mostly in Asia and the Himalayas and look forward to applying what I have learn and to climbing with RMI again in the near future.
I enjoyed pretty much everything about the trip.
Beating the weather odds and making it to the top.
Great guides, good itinerary, we were definitely taken care of as well as or better than any other clients on the mountain.
I enjoyed the wonderful scenery and the climbing the most. It was great getting to experience some of the culture in Argentina, and I think JJ especially went above and beyond to provide us with some of that.
Flexible schedule that made the summit attempt possible.
I enjoyed learning more about expedition life from our RMI and local guides. Every trip you learn something new which builds confidence for your future trips. I also really enjoyed our guides and our team. We had a great group which makes the tough days more bearable.
Experiencing international travel and adventure with the support and comfort provided by having a guided expedition.
"I LOVED this trip (my second attempt of Aconcagua in two years.) The camaraderie of our group, the good times on the trail and up on the mountain, the spectacular scenery, the physical and mental challenges and the many new lessons I leaned about mountaineering more than compensated for missing the summit again. Aconcagua III for me? Maybe. However, the weather is such a wild card on that rock and there are so many other great mountains out there to climb. We'll see. I would gladly do it again with Billy, Katrina or Pete (our guide in 2015.) Thanks for everything!
I enjoyed the chance to visit a part of the world I hadn't been before. It was definitely a physical challenge and I enjoyed pushing myself. Would like to have summited but the overall experience was still positive.
The sense of being a team, working together. the spectacular views. We were unable to summit but it is all about the journey and I learned a lot.
team comraderie. Excellent stories by Billy and Katrina.
I enjoyed the new people I met along with the guides. People always make a trip better or worse.
I enjoyed the guides, the food, everything about the trip. I liked the Nutibarra Hotel in Mendoza - it was clean, centrally located, but not too fancy (expensive). Transportation was good, as was the equipment check, etc. I very much enjoyed the Wine Tasting Tour after the climb.
As I have been telling my friends, family and co-workers, everything which was within the realm of human control for this trip lived up to the expectations. I definitely feel up to another attempt at Aconcagua in two or three more years (NOT in another El Nino year!!!), with a trip to the Mexico or Ecuador volcanoes next December to see something new.
Only a summit would have made things better, but I learned a lot, we had a great time, and the team was great, by luck and fate, I suppose.
enjoying all the experiences associated with a big mountain expedition.
I enjoyed the challenge of the environment and the mountain the most. Also the guides (Mike & Steve)played a huge part in making the trip enjoyable and memorable. They were both friendly, knowledgable and professional. I would gladly join another trip they are guiding.
Excellent team dynamic, felt very safe with Mike and Steve leading us.Assado!
Damn near the whole thing was a great experience. I've been back 2 weeks and still haven't stop thinking about it. I summited, and may come back.
I loved the incredible scenery and geology that surrounded us throughout the trip. There are tough days on the mountain when you can sometimes forget where you are. However, just a quick look around you will tell you that you are in a very special place and very lucky to be there.
The shower at basecamp! I didn't know that there would be a shower there, so it was a welcomed surprise. It was only a tank that was waist-high, so it was a little awkward and the water was scalding hot, no matter that I told the guy twice that I would like warm water, but that was the best shower ever after the hot trek up to basecamp and after coming down from the summit/camp 3.I also enjoyed our group. We didn't have any egos bursting at the seam on this trip. It felt like we were all genuinely concerned for each other and we all wanted everyone to make the summit. We all enjoyed talking to the guides; we agreed that Mike and Steve made this trip really special by keeping us all going, step after step, with their pep talks and helping each of us along the way.I didn't take any instant coffee, so it was very nice of Mike to make me a little baggie of coffee for me to take on the upper mountain.Crossing the river on the mules was a fun experience.
The comarotery With the other climbers and their life experiences. Also the Argentinian porters and I forget his name but our Argentian assistant guide and the goucho's who grilled the meal of sirloin for us. The last night we slept under the stars after partying with the goucho's and the whole climbing team.
The overall experience was the best thing about it as it is with many climbs I've been on.
I enjoyed the whole trip. The length of the trip is hard, but it was great overall and getting to the peak was exhilarating!!!
The team. Also the route.
This trip met and exceeded my expectations. Very enjoyable. I can truly say there was not one moment when I wished I was not on the climb!
The itinerary was great, the guides were professional, kind, fun, and always keeping our safety as number one.
Being part of a major mountaineering expedition, the remoteness of the location, the meal cooked by the gauchos at the end of the expedition.
I enjoyed the whole trip. Everything went pretty smooth. The beef barbecue was a definite highlight.
I enjoyed getting to know all of the different people and especially the guides. Being outside in an incredible environment, and being able feel safe at all times.
Comradery and informal settings for talks/planning/discussions.
I've recommended RMI to several friends on several different occasions. Although I haven't climbed with any other guide companies, I truly believe RMI is one of the top notch guiding services in the world.
the team and the guides and the entire Argentina experience.
The team atmosphere with the group we had was something I'll always remember. No infighting, and always helping each other.
Trip was cut short - the trek in was outstanding.
Meeting new climbers, the challenge and of course, doing it all with my 2 sisters.
Yes... Everything - from the RMI staff leading up to the trip to the Hotel Nutibara, to the Grajales organization, but if I have to pick the MOST ENJOYABLE part - has to be the guides - JJ Justman, Mike King and Steve Gately - Thank you gentleman for a most amazing and wonderful trip!
Getting away from technology and being with the people on the trip. Every time, I have climbed with R.M.I. the Guides and people that are part of the trips/climbs are always great.
The experience was amazing. Despite not making the summit we still were happy with the trip and making it as high as we did.
The guides were world class. And the fellow climbers, of whom I knew none coming into this climb, were a great group of people with whom to spend a month.
it finally became an alpine experience when the snow finally arrived. the mountain other than being high is miserable otherwise.
On this trip, I think I enjoyed the people the most (guides included). We had a great group and a lot of fun (both on and off the mountain!).
Challenge of making it to the summit.
The group spirit, the guidance and support from the RMI guides, of course the landscape and last but not least the extra days in Mendoza to explore the Argentinian cuisine!
The people were just fantastic. Guides and other team members. Had a blast.
The enviroment, local culture, just being on any mountain,meeting new people and becoming a team. Working with professionals and Rmi guides are the best!!
Depart U.S.A. Travel to Mendoza, Argentina (MDZ) typically takes 18 - 27 hours from the U.S. depending on your departure city, available connections, and flight times.
Upon arrival in Mendoza, we are picked up at the airport and transferred to our hotel. After checking into your room, time is available to explore the city and its many beautiful parks, or simply relax by the pool. At 5:00 pm in the hotel lobby we gather for our first team meeting. Overnight in Mendoza.
We allow for flexibility in our mountain itinerary for considerations such as weather, route conditions, acclimatization and the strength of the climbing team. This allows us to move higher when the weather permits and climbers are ready, not just because of the need to adhere to a pre-determined schedule. Our experienced guides closely monitor climbers' performance and acclimatization throughout the team's ascent and may make day-to-day variations in order to better your chances of reaching the summit.
Cancellation Insurance is included in the standard Trip Insurance policy if you are injured or have a medical or family emergency prior to or while traveling. Should you need to cancel your program, Trip Insurance will refund you for any non-refundable cancellations fees when cancelling for a covered reason. Most travel insurance companies provide an option to include coverage that allows you to "Cancel for Any Reason", but the initial policy must be purchased within 14 days of placing your deposit for the program.
Travel to Mendoza, Argentina (MDZ) typically takes 18 - 27 hours from the U.S. depending on your departure city, available connections, and flight times. Flights generally arrive in the afternoon on Day 2 of the itinerary.
Departing flights may be booked for any time on Day 23 of the program.
A private shuttle will take you to our hotel.
Aconcagua is a remote mountain without easy access to definitive medical care. We are our own rescue team. A rescue team headed by the Mendoza Police operates on the Ruta Normal, which joins our route above 20,500'.
Argentina is a country of high Andean peaks and salt flats, massive ice fields, a vast thorny wilderness known as the Impenetrable, a spectacular Lake District, penguins, flamingos, caimans, and capybaras.
The country's economy is focused around food processing, motor vehicles, textiles, chemicals and petrochemicals, printing, metallurgy, steel and agribusiness. This is a new Argentina, one emerging from a severe economic crisis with a renewed sense of identity and purpose.
Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, has become one of the most talked-about travel destinations in South America. It's not just a cliche that their steaks are highly acclaimed and their wines are delicious and affordable. And if you have the opportunity to experience a soccer match during your time there, you will find them full of passion and intensity.
Mendoza is at the center of the Argentinian wine industry. Though surrounded by hot, dry desert, Mendoza's extensive irrigation system both beautifies the city with greenery and allows for grape production. Summers, January in particular, can be very hot and dry in the city, with temperatures often above 100°F.
The practical climbing season on Aconcagua is January and February. We will certainly share the mountain with other climbers during these months, but the better weather and higher likelihood of reaching the summit are well worth it.
Many organizations advertise "less crowded" expeditions in November and March. Be aware that November is early spring and sees substantial snowfall and poor weather, and extreme winds and colder temperatures may be common. March is known for notoriously high winds (the Vienta Blanco or "white wind") and most tour operators have ceased operations at that time.
A handshake and nod show respect when greeting someone. When entering a shop or home, politely use a greeting such as buenos días (good day), buenas tardes (good afternoon), buenas noches (good night). Similarly, upon leaving, even if you've had only minimal contact, say chau (goodbye) or hasta luego (see you later).
Porters are available to help carry gear above Base Camp. They can be arranged at your request through your guide. Porters carry loads of 20 kg and prices depend on where on the mountain they are needed, varying from $195 to $390 dollars for a one-way trip. If you plan to use a porter for the entire expedition you can expect to pay approximately $1,800. Payment is due in cash at the time of service. Porter fees are not included in the trip or permit fees and are in addition to the amount we suggest you bring as spending money.
Electricity in Argentina is different than in the United States. Argentina has standardized type I sockets and plugs. Type C plugs and power points are still commonly found in older buildings. Both are used for 220-240 volt, 50 hertz appliances. U.S. appliances will require plug adaptors, convertors or transformers. Please visit http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity for more detailed information.
You should anticipate spending between $1,500 - $1,700 while in Argentina. Taking into account the cost of the Aconcagua Climbing permit, the remaining $500 - $700 is adequate for personal spending money including restaurant meals, drinks, pocket money, and the Support Staff Tip Pool.
If you plan to use a porter for the entire expedition you can expect to pay approximately $1,800. Porter fees are not included in the trip or permit fees and are in addition to the amount we suggest you bring as spending money.

Argentina Reference and Travel Guide is a thorough orientation to Argentina, with links to various travel pages such as Frommers and Lonely Planet.
This expedition is open to all individuals in excellent physical condition with experience at altitudes above 14,000'. Prior knowledge of, and comfort with, rope travel, the use of crampons, and ice axe arrest are required. We strongly recommend participating in an RMI Expedition Skills Seminar on Mt. Rainier, in Alaska, Peru, Ecuador, North Cascades, or an equivalent multi-day mountaineering seminar prior to attempting Aconcagua.
PHYSICAL CONDITIONING: Fit individuals with focused training to prepare for carrying required pack weights.
ELEVATION: Climbing to altitudes above 15,000'.
MULTI-DAY PROGRAMS: Participating in unsupported multi-day climbing or trekking or backcountry trips carrying all gear and moving to different camps.
DATE OF LAST ADVENTURE: Climbing activities occurring within the last 3 to 5 years.
A 25 – 35 liter day pack to use as carry-on, while traveling or sightseeing. Can also be used on the trek to Base Camp.
A bag rated 0° or -20° F. Either goose down or synthetic, with ample room for movement. Most guides prefer down, because it is lightweight and compactable. A waterproof bag is preferred, but not mandatory.
A lightweight soft shell for protection again wind and light rain.
A pair of lightweight, insulated pants are ideal for extra warmth on summit day and cold days at camps. Full-length side zippers are required for facilitating quick clothing adjustments over boots.
Hybrid boots are the preferred choice on Aconcagua. They provide the best insulation as well as a more rigid sole for kicking steps and holding crampons. Leather-only mountaineering boots are not recommended.
A pair of lightweight boots for approaches and hiking on rugged terrain. Unless you need additional ankle support, we recommend a mid-ankle height boot. Gore-tex or waterproof material is not necessary unless it is a benefit to your other outdoor activities.
Lightweight hiking socks for the trek to Basecamp.
A small roll of duct tape always comes in handy for repairs.
RMI provides the following equipment for your program: tents, group cooking equipment, climbing ropes, avalanche probes and shovels, and blue bags (for solid waste disposal).
On Aconcagua you will need 19 mountain lunches. All of your mountain lunch items should weigh 12 - 13 lb.
Argentina does not allow the following items through Customs: cheeses, fresh meats, dried meats, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables. Other food items may pass inspection but that decision is at the discretion of the customs inspector. Items which are generally okay include jerky and dried fruits as long as they are in their original packaging.
We will have the opportunity to purchase additional food in Argentina but we recommend you take what you need and only supplement with local food if necessary.
The breakfast menu includes items such as instant oatmeal, cold cereals (granola), breakfast / granola bars, hot drinks (coffee, tea, cocoa, cider) and local fresh fruit.
How long is the trek to Base Camp?
The trek to Plaza Argentina, our Base Camp on Aconcagua, is a three-day walk up the Vacas and Relinchos valleys. The trek ascends from 8,800' to 13,800' and is approximately 23 miles long.
Are porters available to help carry my gear?
Yes. Porters are available to help carry gear above Base Camp. They can be arranged at your request through your guide. Porters carry loads of 20 kg and prices depend on where on the mountain they are needed, varying from $195 to $390 dollars for a one-way trip. Payment is due in cash at the time of service. Porter fees are not included in the trip or permit fees and are in addition to the amount we suggest you bring as spending money.
Every foreigner climbing Aconcagua must obtain a Climbing Permit from the National Park. The price is dependent on the time of year and not finalized by the Park until the beginning of the climbing season. Note that the permit date is based on the date of entry into the Park (Day 4 on our itinerary).
Why does RMI use a high camp at 19,600'?
RMI's 19,600-foot high camp is at an altitude that has allowed our team members the greatest chance of making the summit. Climbers who use higher camps often have difficulty adjusting to that altitude. RMI's camp is situated at an elevation at which most climbers can sleep comfortably after acclimatizing lower on the mountain.
Why doesn't RMI traverse Aconcagua?
RMI strives to offer the best experience and chances of success for our climbers and due to these constraints we opt not to traverse the mountain. A traverse of Aconcagua requires climbers to carry all of their gear and waste to high camp in order to traverse down the other side of the mountain. This eliminates the ability of teams to cache unneeded gear and used supplies lower on the mountain. The traverse also permanently separates the group in the event that a climber needs to descend early.
Do I really need crampons on Aconcagua?
Yes. Depending on the season's snow and ice conditions, crampons may or may not be needed to ascend certain parts of the route. It is far preferable to bring your crampons just in case than to be forced to turn back on the summit bid because of unanticipated icy conditions.
Do I really need my avalanche transceiver on Aconcagua?
Safety is RMI's number one priority and we will not compromise this precedent. Although uncommon, Aconcagua does see large amounts of snowfall and we have had past expeditions turn back because of avalanche hazard. We carry avalanche transceivers and avalanche rescue gear on Aconcagua so that our teams are prepared in the event that they encounter such conditions.
Mules help us on the approach to Base Camp, so backpacks should be approximately 15 to 20 lbs. Once we begin making carries or moving camps above Base Camp, pack weights increase significantly. It would not be uncommon for a pack to weigh 50 to 60 pounds (depending on the climber's size). Summit day packs are again 15 to 20 pounds, carrying only clothing, food, water, and other essentials for the summit attempt.
We use an easy to moderate pace throughout the entire trip. The adventure as a whole, and certainly the days when we are carrying heavy loads, is generally characterized as strenuous. While the distances we cover on a daily basis are relatively short, the altitudes to which we travel are very high and the days of hiking and climbing can be very challenging. Overall, our guides set a reasonable pace - at the appropriate speed to cover the distance we need that day without going too quickly or too slowly. This is true of summit day as well.
What tents do we use?
We provide three-person, 4-season tents for every two climbers.
Basic pit-toilets are available near Base Camp. En route, where no toilets exist, we use bio-bags to collect our solid waste so that it may be transported off of the mountain. We recommend that you bring hand sanitizer for use after visiting the toilets.
We suggest bringing a smart phone or a WIFI-enabled device and using it where WIFI and internet services are available, as in Mendoza. Outside of Mendoza, however, and on the mountain, WIFI access is not available. Cell service is widely available across most of Argentina, see below.
Cell phone coverage is generally available in and around towns, but not on the mountain. If you'd like to make phone calls from the mountain, you will need a sat phone. Phone rental is available through Remote Satellite Systems International.
Check with your cell phone carrier to see if they offer international coverage in Argentina and make sure you have the appropriate international plans and understand the associated rates.
Yes, but if you wish to take it up on the mountain you will certainly need to recharge it once in a while using a personal solar charger. We recommend downloading all of your desired books before arriving in Argentina.

How the Surveillance Economy Crumbles
Judy Shapiro
Editor-in-Chief at The Trust Web Times
Let's step back from the day-in-day-out grind of getting campaigns out the door and take stock of our industry on the precipice of fundamental changes as the cookie crumbles ever so messily across adtech floors.
We all must sense seismic changes are in the air but the road ahead is as murky as programmatic's ad supply chain. Between Google's recent announcement that it is "killing" the FLoC targeting architecture in favor of topics and adtech complexity – the times they are a changing.
No one denies that adtech complexity is overwhelming, especially with all the adtech categories each of which have hundreds of players.
Demand Side Platforms
Supply Side Platforms
App Mediation Partners
Data Management Platforms (DMPs)
Consent Management Platforms (CMPs)
Malvertising Solutions
Ad Quality Solutions
Viewability Measurement Providers
Brand Safety Providers
Native Ad Solutions
Publisher Management Platforms
Revenue Amplification Platforms
Pay per Click providers
Browser (private and not) vendors
The list above only includes the big categories but there is whole another layer of vendors that try to connect the data dots between the platforms.
It's no wonder advertisers are getting frustrated which takes us back to the main question: is the Surveillance economy primed for a collapse? And if so, how does it play out?
To clear away the fog, ancient civilizations like Mayans and Anasazi, (yes – societies you may not associate with modern adtech), that suddenly collapsed in a relatively short order give us a clue about adtech's future.
Back in the 1980s, Joseph Tainter, a noted anthropologist, wanted to understand how these powerful societies collapsed "overnight." At first, Tainter looked at the more commonly given answers; invasions, crop failures, disease or environmental degradation. Yet these answers did not sync up with the archeological evidence.
Then, Tainter realized that the answer lies not in some big moment but the sudden collapse was built over time because of its success. In his seminal 1988 book, The Collapse of Complex Societies, Tainter lays out his premise that the ultimate cause of societal collapse was an economic one. "Every group had complex social structures, advanced technology, but … they hadn't collapsed despite their cultural sophistication; they'd collapsed because of it." Successful societies deliver more and better benefits to their members which, invariably, leads to the tax of "complexity." Initially, this tax is easily born by members until the added complexity does not add enough incremental value to compensate for the "complexity" tax due.
The foundational cause of collapse for many ancient cultures was the law of diminishing returns. It was not a single event or a cataclysmic moment, but a toxicity that built up over time so that the sheer weight of the dysfunction collapsed in on itself.
Nor is this dynamic confined to ancient times. We have seen this type of collapse in modern times too.
In the 1990s, Warner Communications officially merged with Time Inc. to create Time-Warner. It was hailed as one of the most important mergers of its day. Yet, in relatively short order, the failed AOL-Time Warner merger became a business case in M&A gone wrong. Much ink was spilt dissecting the failure but viewed through an anthropological lens, we can point the ultimate failure due to the complexity that an organization of that size would create. The complexity of this mega merger meant there was too much bureaucracy to get anything done.
A modern example of collapse due to complexity and the laws of diminishing returns.
By now, the thread between the collapse of Mayan society and adtech should be clear. From Lumascapes to digital advertising, have we reached the point of diminishing returns?
It's a fair question considering the complexity advertisers must endure from data to cookies and buying to attribution. Plus, there are bad actors, fraud peddlers and arbitrage thieves who infiltrate virtually every aspect of digital marketing. Add it all up and one begins to wonder whether the total cost of ownership of adtech and the Surveillance adtech relies on actually pays off. More and more advertisers are asking themselves this question in quiet conversations among their peers and colleagues.
Like the ancient cultures before, adtech wont be displaced or disrupted by outside factors. It seems likely to me that if adtech does collapse, it will collapse due to its own complexity.
If you think that's improbable, trust History to be a reliable teacher. I do.

The most exciting thing about the profession is all the changes coming in the near future. So many new technologies are emerging that change the way we operate on every level and that forces everyone in the profession to stay sharp and adapt. You cannot just do what you did yesterday and get by.
I think the best aspect of the WG culture is that you can be yourself every day. From my first day, I never felt the need to put on a "work face" just to come into the office. Everybody is allowed to be themselves and that makes for a great work environment.
Though it doesn't have anything to do with my job, I couldn't imagine any song other than Real American as my theme song. It was Hulk Hogan's theme song when he walked to the ring and I would love to walk into the office one day with it playing.
Finding out I had passed the CPA exam. While it was a good few years ago, it is still the most important credential in our profession and finding out I passed was definitely a proud moment.


I made the mistake of feeding my husband corn pasta.
This is ridiculous. The man is acting like I laced his food with cyanide. Matthew is whining about the gluten free, vegetarian corn pasta he agreed to let me cook. He was willing to try it, but then accused me of making bootleg food. I just can't win. Damn this man!
Um, I think I have to agree with your husband on this one. Corn pasta? Hell NO!
Your husband is so funny that he wins every time. Bootleg food is the funniest thing I have heard today!!!
Remind him it could be worse, you could cut out his pasta ration altogether.
I bet Nebraska corn is delicious! I'm stuck with the Delaware variety. boo hoo.
Hey, what's wrong with corn? Why all the corn-bashing? Don't these people like candy corn? What are they going to say about that one, huh?
So funny. You're husband is giving you are hard time but I can see a wonderful family beneath the complainy-pants.


Our unique metal alloy Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) is the only program that measures analytical performance against a CRM's "Assigned Value", and has been used in the metals industry for more than 30 years.

We don't have a car wash and our employees don't work at a car wash.
But, we do offer our location, fresh, cold water and hoses for charity purposes.
What? Who wants an insurance agency and cold water?
Why? Allow me to elaborate.
We allow students and charities to raise money by hosting car washes at our Falmouth location at 406 Jones Road.
Above is a picture of the girls on the Falmouth High School Softball Team. Below is a kind letter they wrote thanking us for the use of our location and above is a picture they provided us.
On behalf of the Falmouth High School Softball Program, we want to thank Murray & MacDonald Insurance Services for allowing us the opportunity to hold our car wash at your business. With your generosity, we were able to raise funds necessary to provide the girls in our program with the little extras that are not provided through the budget. It is to businesses like yours that reach out into the community during these financially difficult times that we are truly grateful. We are looking forward to continuing a working relationship between Murray & MacDonald Insurance and Falmouth High Softball.
We don't need pictures or a thank you, but it was appreciated. We were happy to help them raise money for their program with some blood, sweat and tears, or maybe in their case it was sweat, hoses, and cars.
If you or someone you know needs to raise money for a club, sport, charity, etc. Please call 508.540.2400 and speak with Janet, our receptionist, to set up a date on the calendar. They fill up quickly, so plan in advance! You can also email Janet.
Thank you Falmouth High School Softball Team for your fun picture and kind note!
Best wishes in your season!

Q: Link Two taskflows Oracle Adf libraries I am learning to create an ADF enterprise application. I have separated my apps in jar modules as described by Sten E. Vesterli in Developing Web application with ADF. I have two jars that contain two taskflows. How do I link the two in my main app so that after login the button takes me to the DashTaskFlow?
LoginApp has an AuthTaskflow and Dashboard has a DashTaskflow.

A: Try creating a containing taskflow - either bounded or unbounded (depending on how you want to enter/invoke it) and drag/drop the two JAR'd taskflows into the containing taskflow, then have one TF call/navigate to the other. Since the JAR'd TFs are bounded TFs, when one calls the other the called TF default activity will be invoked automatically on entry.


Often seen merely as a means for showcasing luscious fruits and flowers in still life compositions, commonplace table settings and housewares play a critical role as support structures within these works of art. While the themes of vanitas—the eternal truth that all things decay—and of natural abundance have been explored countless times within the genre, this exhibition asks the viewer to look beyond the organic and consider the all-too-easily overlooked man-made elements in still life art. An artist's choice to depict a delicate glass vessel, brass cachepot, filigreed silver tray, or sturdy earthenware jug may offer telling commentary. Curated by TJC Collection Manager Sarah Tignor, the presentation features paintings by Lloyd Branson, Josephine Couper, Ella Hergesheimer, Frank London, Andrew Way, and Thomas Wightman.

Sometimes I look around and wonder how I got here. Am I really old enough to have three kids, a beautiful wife and a great job? I don't really act my age, but so that I don't embarrass anyone, I keep my inner goof off hidden pretty well. I grew up saying "yes, sir" and yes, ma'am", so this crazy kid did learn to be polite.
Shiloh-Grace is our beautiful and wanna-be-super-independent 10-year-old daughter. When I see a dad walk his daughter down the aisle I have a flash-forward to what I am going to go through…I don't think I will ever be ready for that day. Huck is our 6-year-old cowboy-loving-Ninjago whirlwind of a boy who loves to tackle his sister and fulfill the role of the "little brother". And on July 2, 2013 we welcomed another little girl, Weslee, into our family! Cheyenne is my amazing wife (who was at one time a voice student of mine…but that is a whole different love story) is my wedding photography sidekick and the most amazing mother in the world! If you can't tell, I'm crazy about my family.
When I am not shooting weddings or portraits, I work as the creative director and photographer for TEAM. I have the wonderful privilege to photograph the stories of missionaries around the world for a quarterly magazine TEAMHorizons.
Even before I was a photojournalist for TEAM, my life took me to a lot of beautiful places. When I was 12 my family moved to Kenya, and since then I have been struggling to put down roots. We love living in Aurora, Illinois and have hit our "family record" for being in one place the longest. But I guess this is where I get my love for adventure.
I love to bring that adventure and curiosity into my work. I always make an effort to try new things, add a little touch of the unexpected to everything that I do, so that the finished product is truly "music to your eyes, good for your soul".
Oh my, my! I'm still amazed at the beautiful wedding day I was honored to be a part of yesterday. Kelly and Remer are wonderful people, as well as their extended family, the Smiths and Brinsons! I can't wait to share the rest of this Morton Arboretum wedding with you. Enjoy this little glimpse into a gorgeous wedding.
Thanks for taking a little peek into Elise and Nick's fantastic wedding day! Elise and Nick, you guys were great. Thanks so much for asking us to tag along with you for the day. May your amazing love for each other grow stronger with every passing day!
Thank You for capturing their day!!!!!


In the past several years, there has been much confusion about contests and promotions on Facebook. Team members and marketers alike were unaware or ill-advised about Facebook guidelines and terms. As of this week, Facebook has amended their terms and now permits Facebook Page administrators to operate promotions directly on their Page wall.
Facebook defines a promotion as typically including: entries, an element of chance and a prize or giveaway. Per Facebook's revised terms, the requirement that promotions on Facebook be administered only through apps (third-party applications) has been removed.
These changes mean more creative freedom to motivate patients to interact with you on Facebook. However, I recommend carefully considering your practice brand, values and what is appropriate for your patients and practice before launching a contest or promotional campaign. Just because it's easy to launch a contest doesn't mean it is the best long-term marketing tactic for your practice.
Note that many practices continue to generate large segments by word of mouth on social media without the need for promotions. Some doctor's I've spoken with are adamant about not using promotions and simply encourage patients to share their thoughts in exchange for a sincere thank you.
On the other hand, if you have a suitable and exciting promotion in mind, carefully read Facebook's Pages terms details and also be aware of dental board advertising regulations or other restrictions your practice may be limited by in your area. Seek advice from a legal or risk management advisor, if you have questions or concerns regarding the terms details in operating your promotion—contest, drawing or otherwise.
I'm excited to see what creative and engaging campaigns teams brainstorm in light of these new, more flexible guidelines. What are your thoughts about these new options?
