Ohinemuri Regional History Journal 28, September 1984
By C. W. MALCOLM
By CHRISTOPHER PUGSLEY
(published in Anzac week 1984)
This book contains a story that touches Paeroa and district as much as it does any part of New Zealand. It is surely the most shattering, devastating story presented in a book in modern times. It is more terrible a story than that of the futility of the disastrous Crimean War. There is no glamour about the Gallipoli story - only a record of failure due to the ineptitude of those responsible for directing the operation. What stands out in undying contrast is the incredible discipline, determination, and the sheer heroism of our men who could have succeeded in their task (and nearly did) which would have shortened the War possibly by at least two years but were denied their triumph by the inadequacies of the higher command. No brief review can deal with these inadequacies which saw repeated suicidal attacks against impossible odds, inadequate military resources (our men made bombs with empty jam tins); not much food or water, but sickness and disease, this book is crammed with the awful details.
I was nine years old at the time and am groping for memories that take me back to Paeroa. I find my first at page 148 where the name appears of Private Langley Manning of the 6th Haurakis, a name familiar to Paeroa folk of those days. His name is mentioned as representative of that great number who, on the date of the landing, were lost in the terrible confusion. First posted as wounded, later as wounded and missing, again as "believed dead", now regarded as Killed in action on that very first day, 25th April, 1915.
On Page 151, I grasp another Paeroa memory - Major Frederick Stuckey dies of wounds on that same first day. He was O.C. (officer Commanding) the 6th Haurakis.
In the Magazine of the Centennial Celebrations of the Paeroa District School is a photo of Major Stuckey mounted on "Paeroa" the magnificent horse we school children had bought with our pennies and threepences to present to the regiment.
At Page 197 when New Zealanders have been temporarily transferred from Anzac to Helles to fight again against impossible odds in a battle across the infamous "Daisy Patch" I find a later well-known Paeroa accountant -- Captain John Bartlett. A sergeant records: "I slithered down out of the fire and on the bank at the side was Captain Bartlett, wounded, lying in the scrub, bandaged. I remember saying to him: 'Sir, this is a sheer waste of good men...I'm going back... to see what I can do to stop this senseless waste of life.' " Captain Bartlett was fortunate for the Turks habitually despatched our wounded with the bayonet or butt of the rifle!
Pages 299-300 take us to the awful shambles on Chunik Bair where the shy, reticent Corporal Cyril Bassett wins the only V.C. grudgingly awarded to a New Zealander on the Peninsula though uncounted numbers earned it. We will meet Cyril Bassett again as a very popular bank manager in Paeroa.
The book's jacket bears this statement: "GALLIPOLI: THE NEW ZEALAND STORY provides the first major evaluation of one of the most important events in our history, and seven decades later ... does full justice to the reality of that epic campaign." I am glad it touches upon some of our Paeroa men. There are many more known to us who have no mention. It is unthinkable that we should allow succeeding generations to forget them. The least we can do is to remember them.

Interpretations Services
Types of Interpretations Services
Simultaneous and consecutive are the two main interpretation services. Simultaneous interpreters listen to what the speaker is saying while concurrently saying it in another language. Consecutive interpreters listen to what the speaker is saying, and convey the message into another language after the speaker has paused. Both interpretations are crucial in the translation industry and requires mastery of techniques that help maximize accuracy.
Leaders in the industry
TRANSHOME has provided interpretation services to over hundreds of clients and different events across the Middle East and North Africa region. As an accredited translation service company, the team behind TRANSHOME are capable of providing the expertise necessary for accurate interpretation and translation across even the most complex technical topics.

SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins told CNBC's Melissa Lee that the federal regulatory agency should focus on mutual funds and insider trading--not hedge funds.
In a taped interview aired on "Squawk Box," Atkins called efforts to regulate hedge funds "not the wisest effort" A Congressional hearing on the issue is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Washington.
Atkins said individuals investing for retirement or other personal needs typically invest in mutual funds while hedge funds are intended for institutional investors. Deep-pocket institutional investors have the money to hire top-notch advisors, Atkins said, while most mutual fund investors do not.
He said it's a "canard" to say individuals are exposed to hedge funds through institutional retirement accounts because such funds are typically large and professionally managed.
He said the SEC now has its priorities straight and is working with the exchanges to monitor insider trading.
President Bush appointed Atkins to the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2002. His term expires in 2008.

With Chameleon's Amplitude integration, you can more deeply analyze and target Chameleon Experiences. To learn about Amplitude visit our integration page.
The Amplitude integration includes two components:
- Data Destination -- send Chameleon data to Amplitude (for analyzing Experiences)
- Data Source -- get Amplitude data (Behavioral Cohorts) into Chameleon (for targeting Experiences)
To start using Amplitude data with your Chameleon Experiences, simply visit the Integrations section within the Chameleon Editor. You'll also need some information from your Amplitude account.
To connect to Amplitude you'll need your API Key and Secret Key. These are within your Settings view, accessed from the top right of your dashboard:
After opening the Settings view, navigate to the Projects section, and grab your keys from there.
For more detailed guidance on how to find these, check out this Amplitude article. Doing so will enable you to use Amplitude as a Data Destination.
To enable Amplitude as a Data Source, you must also specify which Behavioral Cohorts to pull into Chameleon. You can do so in Line 5 of the Amplitude Setup screen within Chameleon, as above.
Simply add names or IDs of your Behavioral Cohorts (one per line). You can get these from your Amplitude dashboard, within the Behavioral Cohorts section.
If you do not have access to this feature then you may need to contact Amplitude for access. Learn more about Behavioral Cohorts here.
Amplitude as a Data Destination
Chameleon will automatically send performance data, for each user, to Amplitude. You can use this data as part of any Amplitude chart, report or funnel.
This includes the following events:
- Started Tour / Survey (Chameleon)
- Completed Tour / Survey (Chameleon)
- Step Seen (Chameleon) -- by request, to avoid flooding you with events.
Event properties sent as part of these events include the Experience name, URL and others (e.g. Step number) where relevant.
For full details of all Chameleon data sent to Amplitude, use our schema Google Sheet:
You can combine these events along with other events from your product to construct a holistic picture of how your Experiences are performing and driving other actions. You can also construct a list of users that have viewed a certain Experience or exited another Experience etc.
Note: Amplitude's client-side Javascript SDK must be installed within your app for Chameleon Events to be sent to Amplitude. This SDK must be available at the root property of
window.amplitude .
Amplitude as a Data Source
Experiences are most effective when they are highly targeted and personalized. You can now use your analytics data within Amplitude to define the conditions that specify when a group of users should see an Experience.
To do this, first define a Behavioral Cohort within Amplitude. You can use a combination of events and their properties and user attributes to create a specific group of users that fall within these conditions.
Once you do this, you can use this to target Chameleon Experiences to that group of users. After you complete the Setup then you will see your list of Amplitude Cohorts in your filter options when creating a user segment.
Here is an example of a setting a filter to target an Amplitude cohort called "New test cohort":
Applying this filter will mean that only users who are included in this cohort will be a part of this Chameleon segment, and thus see the related Experience.
We are not currently aware of any common problems experienced as part of this integration.
If you have any questions or issues please review how to best get help.

Preface to the 3rd Edition
The third edition of Cultural Portraits, A Synoptic Guide, generates positive feedback about the usefulness of its content for teachers, guidance counselors and school administrators who work with students who hail from foreign countries. Cultural Portraits is a user-friendly resource for educators as well as non-educators. A wealth of information presented in each country's portrait prepares colleagues, employees, students and parents to work together productively without prejudice or misunderstanding. Cultural Portraits in no way stereotypes any particular culture. It provides broad brush strokes of the signature of a country, known as its culture.
In this edition, the reader will find that... (click the arrow)
Что в составе пряжи?
Натуральный (необработанный) хлопок окрашивается только в блеклые тона. Мерсеризированный хлопок хорошо красится в яркие, чистые тона, слегка блестит, обладает большей прочностью на разрыв, но он менее растяжим и более подвержен усадке после сушки. А после специальной обработки – аппретирования, хлопок становится несминаемым и безусадочным.
Можно стирать и гладить при высокой температуре, но в сушке в машине льняное изделие сушить не стоит, дает усадку.
Cultural Portraits, A Synoptic Guide, 3rd Edition
Cultural Portraits has been written for those who work with persons whose cultures differ from ours; it provides a framework for developing cultural proficiency, thus bridging the culture gap that exists today which often results in miscommunication and ineffective productivity.
Would you know that Chang Wu Jiang's last name is Chang, not Jiang? Or that handing some-thing to an Arab with your left hand is an insult? Or that, at birth, a Korean is one year old? Cultural Portraits answers hundreds of such questions and empowers you with valuable information not only about cultural practices but with explanations about terms we hear daily (i.e., "jihad," "Sunni").
Cultural Portraits, a research-based reference and teaching tool, meets and exceeds expectations as it presents both overt and hidden aspects of culture that often create difficulties and misunderstandings among citizens of the world. It is an easy to use, easy to read, instant access reference and source of information. It encourages the reader to sharpen cultural skills in understanding interpersonal and intercultural relationships. It empowers the reader with the skills needed to succeed in a multicultural workplace by turning challenges into opportunities.
Robert Marzano's research for his publication of, What Works in Schools, links academic achievement to effective teachers who are able to relate to the students' backgrounds in order to make connections with instruction. A Culturally Responsive curriculum also requires teachers to validate the cultural backgrounds of the students and their families, thus motivating students to share with other classmates as all students develop cultural proficiency.
A review of the ratio of foreign-born to native-born students in the United States makes evident the need to heed Marzano's conclusions:
• In 1994, 1 in 20 foreign-students grades K-12 were attending US schools;
• In 2004, 1 in 10 foreign-born were attending our schools;
• In 2015, 1 in 5 are attending US schools;
• It is projected that in 2026, 1 in 3.5 students will be foreign-born; and
• by 2050, the number of native vs. foreign-born students will be 1 in 2!
Cultural Portraits is helping teachers to recognize the caveats and cultural patterns that shape perceptions that serve as relatively stable indicators of how students perceive (cognitive domain), interact with (affective domain) and respond to (physiologically) to their environment.
Cultural differences cover a wide range of values and behaviors. If we wish to get through conflicts or recognize possible misunderstandings and miscommunication, we must first seek to identify the differences that are causing the conflict and then decide the best solution for the situation.
Consider these two examples of the lack of cultural knowledge, reflective of diametrically opposed perceptions, that resulted in diplomatic embarrassment: during a meeting of the Big Eight a few years ago, President Carter addressed then German Chancellor, Helmut Schmidt, by his given name: "Helmut" (friendly or rude?), and at an encounter with the King of Saudi Arabia, President Obama, head of state, bowed (respectful or weak?) to King Abdullah.
Cultural Portraits is a valuable resource for resolving challenging issues and addressing cultural questions to help you do your job with renewed confidence. Although population figures may experience gradual changes from year to year, culture requires many generations to change ever so slowly. The information contained in this publication will continue to be valid for years to come.
…a tremendous asset to a wide range of professionals: expertly written, user friendly, and comprehensive in scope; I urge you to add this excellent book to your shelves.

ALBANY, Ore. – Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College celebrated a 20-year partnership on Friday that's helped nearly 30,000 students to attend college.
The Degree Partnership Program allows students to be dual-enrolled at OSU and LBCC. Staff with the two schools said the program actually began after they discovered that students themselves had figured out how to best utilize this system.
"Fortunately, I think our institutions were smart enough to say, 'That's a great idea. Let's make it easier for them," Greg Hamann, LBCC president, said.
When the colleges adopted the program it became more user-friendly to the sometimes 6,000 students a term who use it. For example, some students have trouble transferring credits between a community college and university and this program eliminates that issue.
Students said it's a great opportunity to save money because lower-level classes at a community college tend to be cheaper. Many students also take those classes so that they qualify as full-time students and then can receive financial aid. Students also receive some benefits of being an OSU student, like access to advisors that help them map out their classes and educational plan.
"These schools should be working together because ultimately that's the goal, to help better educate our society," said Richard Steeves, a Degree Partner student.
Staff with both OSU and LBCC said they're very proud of this program but they still need to do better. They said there's still a gap between those who have historically had access to education, and those who haven't. They said more of an effort needs to be made to help underrepresented individuals, especially people of color.
"The biggest threat to a democracy is collapse within, and if we create a permanent underclass who have no stake in our society we will rue the day," Ed Ray, president of OSU, said.

The Zhiyun-Tech Crane-M is a smaller, lighter version of the original Crane. It is designed for small mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and action cameras.
The Friendly Giant for All Light-weight Cameras
If you are looking for a "camera-friendly" stabilizer for your mirrorless or compact digital camera, GoPro and even smartphone, CRANE-M would be your ideal choice. Exquisitely crafted by ZHIYUN for all-level users, it is mountable by most camera models on the market with weights ranging from 125g to 650g.
Play It and Be PRO
The bulky machinery of traditional stabilizers are gradually replaced by newly appeared electronic 3-axis stabilizers, which are much smarter, more user-friendly and time-efficient in its operation. CRANE-M has played these advantages to the extreme. With its weight equal to just one bottle of water, any individual can shoot steady and smooth streams with pro-level effect. With CRANE-M in hand all you need is imagination and action.
All-in-1 Control Panel
CRANE-M is the first stabilizer in the world that realizes synchronous control of camera through the connection of a dedicated camera control line (currently available for SONY and most Panasonic models). Through the simple-designed control panel on the CRANE-M handle, users not only can pan, tilt, and roll the connected camera, but also use zooming, and photo/video shooting controls.
Full 12-hour Around the Clock
Featuring ZHIYUN's unique 32-bit high-speed MCU parallel control technology, the work efficiency of control motors on all three axes has been greatly improved, thus reducing power consumption during operations. CRANE-M comes standard with 2 pieces of 26500 Li-Ion batteries supporting up to 12 hours of working time, enough for any challenging shoot you may come upon.
High-integrated Control Panel
The highly integrated control panel on CRANE-M makes it super easy and convenient to use by putting all available functional controls, such as mode switch, angel adjustment, zooming and photo/video shooting, etc., all within reach of your thumb.
1-min. Balance Adjustment
CRANE-M supports instant manual mounting & dismounting of the camera without the need of a screwdriver, with fixing thumb screws on all 4 sides. In addition, camera balance adjustment is made much easier on CRANE-M with its unique scale marks + locating slots design on each axis.
Friendly Design into Details
As a flagship-level product with high compatibility, CRANE-M's design team, while not overlooking users' need to frequently change cameras to tackle different tasks, has to the greatest extent simplified the camera mounting and adjusting operations by adding special scale marks and locating slots along the axes.
Single & Dual Hand Operation
Tired of holding your stabilizer single armed? Attach the optional dual-hand handle to alleviate the load for easier, more stable operations with better body balance.
1/4" Threaded Hole for Multiple Add-ons
The standard ¼" threaded hole at the bottom of the CRANE-M offers more flexibility at work allowing various add-ons of photographic equipment and apparatus, such as a tripod, extension rod, suction cup, etc., to support in your creative works.
For Mirrorless, Action Cams, and Phones
Supports Devices up to 1.4 lb
360° Rotation Along All Three Axes
Large 4-Way Joystick
Lock, Yaw, Pitch/Yaw, and Inverted Modes
32-Bit Triple-MCUs at 4 kHz Frequency
High Accuracy Brushless Motors
Toolless Adjustment of All Axes
Remote iOS/Android Control via Bluetooth
12-Hour Runtime On Included Batteries
The Zhiyun-Tech Crane-M is a smaller, lighter version of the original Crane. It is designed for small mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and action cameras weighing between 4.4 oz and 1.4 lb. At the same time, it has the advanced features of the original as well as improvements over it. (Separately sold adapters from Zhiyun Tech are required for mounting phones and action cams.)
The Crane-M provides 360° rotation along the pan, tilt, and roll axes via a large 4-way joystick. It can also be controlled remotely over Bluetooth using the free Zhiyun Assistant app from your mobile device (iOS/Android).
The Crane-M operates on 32-bit triple-MCUs running in parallel at 4 kHz frequency. It also features brushless motors offering high accuracy while maintaining low vibration and increasing torque. Accuracy is ensured with a magnetic encoder in each motor and advanced stabilization algorithms. The Crane-M can achieve up to 0.01° of accuracy within 0.25 millisecond.
Featuring a quick-release plate and thumbscrew at the mounting platform, the Crane-M balances very easily without any tools. All three axes can be adjusted to your preferences in about one minute.
Multiple modes are available to select from. In Lock Mode, all three axes work together to keep the camera pointed in one position. The camera will stay still no matter how you move the handle. In Yaw-Axis Follow Mode, the Crane-M will only follow your pan movements, while in Pitch/Yaw-Axis Follow Mode, it will follow your pan and tilt movements. You can also switch to Inverted Mode at any time by simply flipping the handle over the camera. Inverted mode can be operated in conjunction with the Lock and Follow modes. In addition, the gimbal also has a Camera Control function with which shutter release can conveniently be triggered over a USB cable for select Sony cameras.
A 1/4"-20 mounting thread on the bottom of the gimbal allows mounting on tripods, monopods, and other support gear. Having the Crane-M mounted is also the ideal way of using it when controlling it remotely over the mobile app. The Crane-M runs for approximately 12 hours on included 26500 lithium-ion batteries, which take about 3 hours to fully charge.

Imo State Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha on Monday September 26, 2016, flagged off preparation for the 2016 edition of Imo State Carnival, calling on everyone to make it work.
In an event which took place at the Nick's Banquet Hall, Government House Owerri, Gov. Okorocha revealed that the carnival will be tagged 'Imo My Pride Carnival' adding that in line with the Imo My Pride Project of the Rescue Mission, the Carnival will also join in boosting the tourism potentials of the state. He described Imo State as the tourism hub of the country, saying that only collective efforts of every stakeholder can make the event a success.
While inspecting the official designs and theme song of the carnival, Gov. Okorocha hailed the Hon. Paddy Obinna led committee, calling on them to involve everyone that will make the event great. He then charged youths and entertainers in the state to seize the opportunity the carnival will be providing to showcase their talent and strength, adding that the state government is working in partnership with some Chinese firms and Brazilian carnival specialists to ensure that Imo Carnivals 2016, beats other carnivals that has ever taken place in the country.
Gov. Okorocha then urged Imolites to live a happy life, adding that most of the roads under construction in the state will be ready before the carnival so that the event will run smoothly without interrupting the traffic of the city of Owerri.
Speaking earlier, the SA to the governor on Arts and Culture Hon. Paddy Obinna revealed that about 5000 people were on parade last year at the carnival and he is expecting that figure to double or tipple with the incentives that will be provided for floats at the carnival.
Hon. Obinna further stated that the carnival will boost the economy of the state as they estimating about 100,000 people coming into the state for the carnival. He then urged businesses and corporate bodies to take advantage of that and boost their businesses, also calling on them to partner in making the event the best of the best.
"There will be international participants as well as national participants from other states. So it is not just us; it is going to be us and the rest of the world.
"I want to assure you that with your corporation and the support from the government, this year's carnival will surpass the other two we have done in the past", Hon. Obinna said.
December 19 – 22 were picked as tentative dates for the event, while #ImoCarnival2016 was chosen as the official hashtag for the event.
Meanwhile, Gov. Okorocha charged all stakeholders ranging from political appointees, entertainers, media practitioners, traditional rulers and Imolites in general to ensure they play a big role in selling the brand, adding that only collective effort can make people from around the world want to identify with it.
He then took time to hail Hon. Iruno Chukwunonye, his SA on Protocols and Entertainment for a successful outing at the Imo Laff Session, calling on him and the entire team of entertainers to join hands with the carnival committee to make the event a historic one.
The governor then gave time for Imolites at the venue to make contributions and also criticize what has already been done, as a way of getting the best of the best.
The event was attended Chief Jim Nwobodo, APC South East Chairman, other APC state officials, traditional rulers, Imo State political appointees, state house members, NUJ executives, leaders of guilds in Imo State Based Artistes League, bloggers, amongst others.

Tips and Guidelines
by Matthew Ford (updated 24th May 2014)
© Forward Computing and Control Pty. Ltd. NSW Australia
All rights reserved.
The place holder for this page was created about 10 years ago, but never fleshed out until now. However I recently saw an article about how GoogleDocs does NOT have a Save Button. This page notes "Since Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides continuously save your work, there's no Save button. The last updated time shows near the menu bar." It has take a while, but at last applications are becoming actually user friendly.
Microsoft Office (and other wordprocessors) had previously introduced Auto recover options which periodically save you work for you. However Microsoft still prompts you to save when you exit and so does not satisfy the "No Save Button" criteria.
There are other partial applications of this design criteria:-
When you download files with your browser, the browser automatically renames the files (without prompting you) so that you don't loose any previously downloaded file of the same name. However it is the latest download that is renamed. It should be the previous download loads that were renamed.
When you delete a file it is move to the Recycle/Trash bin so you can recover it later. However in Windows you are still prompted (unnecessary) to confirm the delete. This should be replace with status bar message telling you the file is not in the Recycle bin and with an Undo button so you can easily get it back immediately. Mac OS X does a much better job and does not annoy the user asking for an unnecessary confirmation but just moves the file to Trash as you asked.
The simple answer is the the user has put effort into editing the work so the application should by default save the changes. "He asked the application to make the changes. Don't annoy him by asking for a second confirmation,"
The general rule here is that "The user never makes mistakes (even when they do). They just change their mind."
Your application cannot tell if this is an unintentional change or not. Since the user took the effort to type the changes then "most likely" they meant to make the change. HOWEVER a user friendly application should always allow for the user "changing their mind" That is there should always be a way to undo changes and recover to a previous version.
The page on "What's Wrong with Undo/Redo and How to fix it." describes an undo/redo system that keeps ALL the changes and allows the user to backtrack any previous edit. This solves the in-application recovery to a previous version.
With "auto-save", either periodically or on exit, where the user is not prompted to save, there needs to be a way for the user to recover earlier versions. GoogleDocs seems to provide the means. In general it is as easy as renaming the previous file and then saving the latest version. More advanced implementations would just save the deltas between the files.
A full implementation would also save the undo/redo data with each version so the user could recover to a previous edit exactly.
When the availability of large amounts of disk space and faster processor speeds there is no longer any reason for not saving ALL the user's changes and providing a means of letting the user recovery to a any previous state.

This is something I often think about whenever public polls are conducted, or anything else that involves many people. For example, tomorrow there is a rally to oppose our government and I'm thinking if I should go. If 100,000 people show up, would it make a difference if I came? Usually the answer is "But what if all of those people thought like you", but I don't accept that as a real answer, because I fail to see how me going or not going can possibly influence those 100,000 other people. Every person will either come or not, but no one will think "Hmm, is Chen coming? Because if he isn't, I ain't going either!".

There's an SEO tutorial in the To Do section of your Point2 Agent online office area.
While this is a great tool for agents wanting to do their own website optimization, there are some confusing numbers in there that I wanted to point out to you…
SEO TITLE SECTION – they mention there's a ** Maximum of 200 characters.
PLEASE NOTE this is not the "recommended" maximum number of characters to be considered "search engine friendly" – it's the number of characters allowed before it will not let you continue adding any more words.
The number of characters to use in order to be search engine friendly is between 60-70 characters – not 200 characters.
Same scenario in the SEO Description section.
The maximum number of characters to be search engine friendly is between 100-150 – not 400 characters.
And with the SEO Keywords section, Google hasn't focused on keywords for many years now, but some other search engines do still factor them somewhat, so same thing…
Keep it between 150-200 characters to stay search engine friendly, not 1000 characters. I tell clients just to copy/paste the SEO title into this section and not to dwell on it.
There's no explanation for those two asterisks (**) next to the maximum characters, so I honestly don't know why those are there.
Next is the SEO Options section in your website for Google Analytics, you can use the field referenced to insert your UA number.

Thanks for nothing, Mr. Collins. It's like I've said all along. Most politicians have an inbred aversion to such things as flowers, paintings, dancers, actors, plays, and literature. Oh, right, and library access.
See, when you run government like a rich guy who got lucky business, you can't really understand why other people would need any of the things you've taken for granted (though clearly ignored) for your entire life.
Garden writers from Idaho, North Carolina, and Wisonsin traveled far to see the BG.
I wonder how many politicians rely on the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. Many of you saw this magnificent facility last summer, during Garden Bloggers Buffa10. It needs work—and hopefully will continue to get it—but what it has right now is enough to entrance local families on a regular basis and impress out-of-town visitors whenever they get a chance to see it. It is one of three Lord & Burnham conservatories sited in an Olmsted park. It is the one place in Western New York where you can escape to the tropics in a twenty minute drive. In February.
That might impress some people, but clearly it is not enough for the leader of our county, who has withheld funding from the facility for the last year and plans the same treatment in 2011.
Look, we all know money is tight. But those of us who pay attention also know that the funds allocated to the Botanical Gardens and every other cultural organization in the area—AND the libraries—would not be enough to make a $2 dent in anyone's property taxes. Srsly. That's not where the money is.
Fund the gardens. Fund the theaters. Fund the galleries. And for god sakes, fund the libraries. We can't afford to have another generation growing up as ignorant as YOU, Mr. Collins, clearly are.
If you agree and want to advocate, here's an email, [email protected], and here's a phone number: 716-842-0490. Thanks!
And thanks to all our Garden Rant readers. For reading.
PS. I would simply add, regarding the BG, that it is a county-owned asset. Which makes it seems all the stranger that the county wants to withhold funding.

#SMRTPOP: PR 101 with Marilis Cardinal

How to build a media list:
- Keep track of everyone who's written about you in the past (and stay in touch with them)
- Start by targeting media in your own city
- Refer to similar press campaigns
- Set up google alerts
- Keep contacts updated
- When touring, look up regional press / ask promoters for local press lists or target suggestions (keep in mind lots of those are outdated)
- When looking at blogs, keep your eyes out for recommended blogs in the sidebar
Before reaching out to media, do your research!
- Get to know the person you're emailing
- What do they like? What have they written about? Have they written articles in the last few months? Are you touring in the city they live in soon? Do they write the kind of feature you are hoping to get out of them?
- Get to know the website or magazine
- Do they do album reviews? live reviews? interviews?
- Do they have special features e.g. new artist profiles, song/band of the day, behind the scenes of music videos, tour diaries, artist mixes, etc
- Do they write about artists of your level?
When reaching out to media:
- Create a relationship of trust with the journalist or writer
- Personalized messages go a long way VS just sending a press release
- Limit the number of emails you send them
- Offer a premiere opportunity
- Don't email every writer at a magazine/website, target your emails to the writer that best fits the coverage you are looking for
- Never send large attachments, provide download links for them
- Follow up!
Plan your release schedule – there are no rules, but…
- Always good to announce an album about 2.5-3 months before its release
- Lead with your best asset (catchiest single / memorable music video)
- Maximize tour or show announcements by combining with the release of new music or videos
- Release up to 3 singles before the release of an LP (less for EP)
- Stream the record the week before the album comes out
- Space out content
- Always good to save remixes / additional music videos for after the campaign to sustain interest
- Create lots of QUALITY content

In what may be one of the most bipartisan votes in years, the U.S House of Representatives late Thursday morning voted 420-0 to demand the Dept. of Justice publicly release the Mueller report.
The resolution, introduced last week by the heads of six House oversight committees that are investigating Trump, calls on Barr to make public everything in the Mueller report that is not expressly prohibited by law and to provide the entire document to Congress. Lawmakers in both parties have maintained there will have to be some sort of public resolution when the report is done - and privately hope that a report shows conclusions that are favorable to their own side. Only four Congressmen, all Republicans, voted "present": Reps.
"Congress will not accept any attempt by Mr Barr or the president to bury the report and the findings of the special counsel".
It's unclear exactly what documentation will be produced at the end of the probe into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russian Federation, and how much of that the Justice Department will allow people to see.
But the resolution by itself can not force attorney general William Barr to publish more of the report than he intends to - and that is why even some of the Republicans supporting it complained that the measure was a waste of time.
"I don't know what, at the end of the day, what will be releasable".
"During his confirmation, Attorney General Barr said he wants to be transparent with Congress and the public, consistent with the rules and the law". But Barr can use his discretion over what he wants to share.
In introducing the resolution, Nadler and five other Democratic committee chairs said "the public is clearly served by transparency with respect to any investigation that could implicate or exonerate the president and his campaign". A bid by the Senate's top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, to have the resolution approved by voice vote after the House's action was thwarted by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. "The taxpayers paid millions for this information, and they should get to see all of it". "Full transparency is the only way to prevent future speculation". But he stopped short of giving a full-throated guarantee that the report would be made public.
Democrats are anxious that Barr's strict defense of his own prerogative, combined with his stated respect for Justice Department rules advising against both the indictment of a sitting president or impugning an unindicted individual in an investigative report, means potential information implicating President Donald Trump in alleged wrongdoing could be buried.

My plan was to update this blog once a week with pictures, tales of Heathen life in Brooklyn, and recipes from my (usually untidy) kitchen.
Instead, I posted about Torshelgd back in December and then quickly got busy, tired, sick, even more tired, and busy again.
I'm here now, a bit late and covered by a sleeping Haggis, but showing up has to count for something.
In the weeks since my last post my family has observed Torshelgd every Thursday – even the Thursday we were at Disney World. Sometimes it was rushed, sometimes it was well planned and perfectly executed. Either way, it's happened every week without fail.
In a perfect world, my family would sit at the table and eat our homemade supper after toasting Thor and Freyja. We would eat our meal and play card games and laugh and relax there at the table. We'd be happy just to be together.
But I have a toddler and my husband gets home from work around 7pm. If supper is ready to go when he gets home we are doing well. More often than not it's not only not done, it hasn't even been started. More often than that we don't eat at the table and the toasts to Thor and Freyja are completed without much fanfare.
And you know what? That is okay.
Torshelgd isn't about the kitchen table or the fancy candle holders I got at East Coast Thing. It's not about the meal or the card games. It's about family time and building a tradition. To borrow a phrase from my buddy Lea (and her Grandfather), it's about keeping the gods close to us and us close to the gods.
Do I wish that Torshelgd was awash with reverence and the heady scents of a home cooked meal shared with my family? Of course, I do. Am I going to shame myself for ordering pizza, lighting a half-forgotten candle, and toasting the gods with water and a few store brand Oreos? Nah. I've got bigger shit to tackle.
My Heathenry is less about form and more about function and that is okay too. It's more than okay – at least in my opinion – because it's the practical application of Heathenry in a modern family setting. Who knows, maybe I'm doing it all wrong. Maybe Thor and Freyja would rather I serve dinner at the kitchen table and toast them with fancy beer or juice.
Until they come to my apartment and say so my family and I are going to keep Torshelgd our own way because we're our deeds, not our plans.

So we thought about what could be done to make things change. How to use the skills our staff have. How to use the skills our young adults have. How to achieve the things we know we can do without worrying about the things we think we can't.
We, enterprise19, are now striving to make this change.
By providing opportunity and expertise in areas from Art to Woodwork to Web Design.
To develop skills to take to the next level. To nurture new expertise.
By giving young people with disabilities the platform to develop the confidence to make a contribution to their community.
To find work. To live independent lives. To aim for the stars.

Neilston co-manager Chris Cameron watched his side fall to a 4-1 away defeat to league leaders Benburb at the weekend before insisting that both himself and fellow co-manager Derek Carson couldn't have asked for much more from their side.
The Farmer's Boys were unable to extend their unbeaten run of five matches which stretched back to February with the Bens running away with it with three late goals.
Cameron and Carson made one change to the starting XI that won 2-1 at St Roch's last weekend with Allan Diack replacing the injured Chris McLaughlin in midfield as both sides took their time to get going.
READ MORE: Neilston boss Derek Carson hails best away of the season
Diack had the first real chance of the afternoon when he headed over from Cammy Haddow's corner before Kieran McDade was next to try his luck with his header from a Stephen Stirling free-kick going narrowly wide.
It was a tense first 45 with both sides unable to dictate play but the visitors came close to breaking the deadlock when Stirling found himself through on goal only for Bens keeper Ryan McWilliams to produce a top save as they went in level.
Euan Clark replaced McDade at the break for Neilston but it was the Bens who started the second period on the front foot with a bit of luck going their way as they made the breakthrough. David Gordon's attempted clearance at the back hit a Benburb forward before falling perfectly for Kieran Mulcahy who fired an angled shot beyond the trialist keeper.
The Brig O' Lea side hit back almost immediately, however, as Paul Stewart remaining composed to slot it home from the spot after Robbie Halliday was bundled over in the box.
Benburb restored their lead soon after with Willie McLaren beating the offside trap and the visitors ran out of steam after that with substitute Callum Dillon adding the third before Mulcahy rounded it off with the fourth.
But, despite his side's unbeaten run coming to an abrupt end, Cameron admits he was pleased with their efforts and praised their recent form.
He said: "We were well in the game up until it got to 1-1. The third goal knocked the stuffing out of us a bit and we seemed to run out of steam after that but to be fair to our lads, they gave it everything and we can have no complaints with the effort.
"We've been on a brilliant run and the dressing room has been absolutely buzzing. Saturday was a marker to see exactly where we are. It was an opportunity to take a step back and see how we managed against the league leaders - we've got a bit to go as we want to be in Benburb's situation this time next year."

Neilston's league campaign rolls on tonight as they welcome title-chasing Rutherglen Glencairn to the Brig with Cameron seeing the match as another chance for his side to test themselves.
He added: "Rutherglen have put themselves in a great position to win the league, but it's a home game and a great opportunity to test ourselves against a promoted side and possibly champions-elect and show ourselves and the fans that we're not far away."

Welcome back this week for another update on what's happening in the Chicago tech scene! You will want to hear what's new in the news.
It is time to sit back, relax, and wind down—Friday is here, and the weekend is upon us.
Tech Jobs Are on the Rise in Chicago
"The Chicago metro area added 10,000 tech jobs between 2013 and 2015, according to a Brookings Institute study, a 5.8% compound annual growth rate. The region had the 9th biggest increase in number of tech jobs, behind San Francisco, San Jose, New York, Dallas, Boston, Austin, Seattle and Los Angeles."
"The Chicago metro area also saw its share of national tech jobs increase from 2010 to 2015, according to Brookings. Its share rose by less than 0.5%, which might not sounds like much, but it was one of only a handful of cities to see its share increase as the Bay Area continues to add to its piece of the tech employment pie. In fact, 86 of the largest 100 metros have either seen their share of the national tech sector stay the same or actually shrink since 2010, according to Brookings, and 6 cities lost jobs in absolute terms."

Can Resume-Reading Software Help Companies Make Better Hires?
"The German technology company, which employs more than 1,500 people in the Chicago area, is introducing a tool that will allow recruiters to use machine learning to sift through thousands of applications much faster."
"The tool extracts information such as skills and experience from resumes and scores them against particular open positions. That can allow a recruiter to more easily whittle down a pool of a thousand to several dozen that are worth further consideration"
"SAP also plans to use machine learning to score job descriptions themselves — a process that could help identify unconscious bias in listings. For example, terms like "rockstar" or "ninja" may be more attractive to men than women. The company is developing a new machine learning tool that would detect this kind of language using sentiment analysis, then suggest alternatives."

A motorhome with a length of 5,30 m with full equipment? Wingamm Micros is exactly such vehicle – not too big, well-equipped, and based on Volkswagen T5.
Volkswagen T5 is used as a base for camping vehicles very rarely. The more surprising may be the fact that while most European brands relies on Fiat Ducato, brand from Italy decided to bet on Volkswagen!
In one piece
And Italians? Oh those aesthetes. So, before we start judging the functionality of Micros, we should admit that this car presents really attractive. The car body made of fiberglass neatly fits the rest of the vehicle.
The whole camping part of the body was made as one casting, which is a guarantee of tightness and stability. Moreover, the insulation was made of polyurethane foam. Doors leading to the living area were equipped in original door handles and locks from Volkswagen – thanks to which you can open all doors with the central lock.
Outside we can find a compartment for gas bottle – doors leading to it compose nicely with the rest; they don't look as if they were put there by force. Additional compartment was placed in… the rear bumper.
A little bit of technique
Wingamm Micros is offered with 2-liter, 140 HP TDI engine and a dual-clutch transmission DSG. Thanks to that the car is very elastic and dynamic, though unfortunately it sometimes burns enormous amounts of fuel. Even when driving quite economically you have to be aware with fuel consumption of about 9,5l/100km.
The vehicle can fit 2,3 or 4 people. Permissible gross weight is 3,200 kg, and a permissible load – 540 kg.
Two burners, two beds
Aesthetics is a matter of taste, though in my opinion the interior of Wingamm Micros is nicer than of many German motorhomes. The combination of smooth, white surfaces with wooden fronts creates a very interesting composition.
The sink was created as a hole in a fiberglass tabletop. The gas stove consists of two, independent burners. There's also a quite big table top, where you can prepare meals. The kitchen is very big, when we take into consideration the overall size of the motorhome, but the capacity of fridge is only 60 liters.
The main bed (1970 x 1340 mm) is suspended from the ceiling. If you want to use it, you have to lower it. In such circumstances, moving inside the motorhome might be a bit hard, but still you can use the kitchen, or one of the sofas next to the table. Dining area can as well be turned into bed (1900 x 1200).
Though the motorhome isn't too big, it managed to fit in a bathroom with window. Shower, washbasin, chemical toilet – maybe it's a bit tight, but it has everything what's necessary in a modern motorhome.
A mini-home
When buying Micros, we can expect that the equipment will include a floor heating, electronic control panel, 90-liter, heated container for sewage, and 100-liter, also heated container for fresh water. Big LED-lamps are really impressive.
Actually, this motorhome may surprise a lot of people. The space inside this apparently little vehicle is amazing. If we add to this the unusual aesthetics and well thought-out interior layout, it will turn out that this Italian camping vehicle is really worth our attention. This car costs in Germany 68,000 euro.

Michelin's Pro Race 3 is reminiscent of the Service Course released in limited numbers last year. The newly developed dual-compound smooth tread proved to be quick in a straight line, and when leant on its edge, the band of softer rubber meant that grip was ample.
Thin sidewalls gave a supple ride and the resistant nylon High Density Puncture Protector Belt ensured that there were no punctures.
Attack and Force use a 24mm rear tyre coupled with a 22mm front, mirroring motorcycle designs. The extra air volume at the rear gives a noticeable amount of comfort but seemingly no increased resistance. The narrow front was excellent when pushed hard, thanks to the Black Chilli compound.
Schwalbe?s Ultremo uses a triple-compound rubber with an entirely slick tread surface. Offering excellent puncture protection with the HD-V Guard, the compound mixture gives a tyre with a low rolling resistance; turn it on its edge and the optimised rubber still gives impressive grip, even in wet weather.
Continental?s Attack and Force both score well on grip, comfort and speed but are slightly outgunned by the Ultremo and Pro 3, which offered the best combination of speed and traction.

PREVIEW: Download Blitzen Trapper's "Silver Moon" MP3
WE GIVE IT: 17/20 Watts
Whether you love them for their music, heard of them because you are addicted to Chuck re-runs, or just stumbled across them opening for Fleet Foxes or Wilco, Blitzen Trapper has a few new songs for you to hum along to. The Oregon-based sextet, after self-releasing albums for years before signing with Sub Pop, is going public with their second collection under the label.
Black River Killer is a seven song EP showcasing work from the band's entire career. Combining songs, which used to be available only on CD-R, into a solid assembly, Blitzen Trapper produce a mini-album that will be hard to overlook. Ranging from melancholy folk influences to cosmic jailhouse rock, this album has it all. Each song emulates perfection, making it impossible to pick your favorite.
Opening track "Black River Killer" defines the album's sound. Subtle guitar chords paired with understated, airy synth in the background serve as a perfect accompaniment to singer Eric Earley's tranquil country vocals. Blitzen Trapper offer a wide selection that displays both songs with commercial appeal as well as examinations of very personal emotions.
Tracks like "Silver Moon," "Preacher's Sister's Boy" and "Big Black Bird" pair classic country twang with spacey, extraterrestrial chimes and low tone vocals. The sound is weirdly psychedelic, the lyrics are quirky and the tracks are fun without being obnoxious or overwhelming.
Balancing the eccentric resonance, the album has tracks like "Shoulder Full of You," "Going Down" and "Black Rock." They retain the peculiarity of the previously-mentioned tracks, while channeling melancholy and profound sounds. Combining mournful lyrics like "I've got a shoulder full of you, pushing like a blacksmith's sorrow / Lashes full of doom/I miss you," with mysteriously ethereal melodies turns "Shoulder Full of You" into a poignant, captivating ballad.
This near-perfect release has just one shortcoming: it is too short. The EP is a 17-minute musical achievement and a definite pinnacle for the band's sound, so hopefully it is just a taste of a future, more expansive production from Blitzen Trapper.

|Safran delivers component for Boeing's airplane

Provided to Boeing was the exhaust system's center body-a complex-shaped unit that contributes to the proper aerodynamic flow of exhaust from the 777X's General Electric GE9X turbofan engines.

The 777X's exhaust systems are among the largest of their type ever manufactured for civil aircraft, and fully benefit from titanium's lower mass and increased resistance to heat in jet engine applications.

Expat Jobs in Germany Tips: Mohamed, a Tunisian Expat
Mohamed tells us about his experience finding work in Germany in the following video. Watch it here
Video transcription
Hello, my name is Mohamed Ibrahim Zgaya and I am a Tunisian expat in Germany (Find arabic speaking jobs in Germany!). I'm a computer programmer and I've lived in Germany for about two years now.
What brought me to Germany
I came to Germany to continue my education and improve my programming skills. I've found out that Germany is the best place to work as it offers many work places and there are jobs available everywhere.
I chose Germany because the infrastructure is better and because it offers many positions and better job chances than in my country.
My experience searching for a job in Germany
Basically, when I came I had to learn German to communicate with people. It is easy to talk in English but in German you feel more comfortable.
So I had to go to many agencies and job bureaus but I finally found the job that I needed. The job that I found was on the internet.
My #1 tip for expat jobseekers in Germany
My number one advice for you is to learn German. I know it's not easy, sometimes it's boring, maybe you suck at languages, but you have to learn it to be better and to exceed at work and in your life.
One quick tip: you have to be patient and you have to take the opportunities that you get.

March 20, 2017
Jody Wager, MS, BC-DMT, is The Director of the Expressive Therapy Department and a senior dance therapist at Dominion Hospital, and currently serves as president of the American Dance Therapy Association. For the 10th straight year, Jody is headlining the opening of the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium. On Thursday March 23, 2017, she along with Daniel Levin facilitated an opening session titled: The Doorway to Engagement: Freeing the Body and Awakening the Mind.
Attendees were encouraged to prime their body and their mind for the Symposium experience by taking part in an opportunity to let go of the ordinary stresses, pressures, and responsibilities often carried with us. This special opening event was designed for first-time attendees and Symposium veterans alike to gather and prepare for the adventure to come. Using physical movement, music, and play, Jody and Daniel led a kick off devoted to helping attendees open themselves to new connections, insights, and inspirations. They offered attendees a chance to engage their mind and body in a fun and creative atmosphere, while bringing into focus their vision for what they wished to learn and experience in the days to come.
This year, the Symposium was titled: The Courage to Connect: Shaping our Future in an Age of Uncertainty. For 40 years, the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium has been psychotherapy's largest and most celebrated annual meeting. With 150 workshops, a faculty of over 100 of the field's leading contributors, and over 3,500 of its most creative and inquiring practitioners, the Symposium is the place therapists go to catch up on the latest advances in the field. In addition to opening night, Jody also led a session at the Symposium's end to consolidate the attendee's learnings through structured movement improvisation, free writing, and embodied self-awareness. In this session, attendees explored an integrative mind-body approach to embody their learnings from the Symposium, dance/movement therapy skills to help attendees be more present, grounded, and self-aware while working with clients, and the role of witnessing oneself and others through the Authentic Movement model of dance/movement therapy.
With a rich Expressive Therapy Department under Jody's leadership, Dominion Hospital stands as one of relatively few facilities in the United States to offer multiple expressive therapies to Adults, Adolescents and Children with mental health disorders and/or the experience of trauma. Dominion leads the Northern Virginia and metropolitan Washington, D.C., region by providing art therapy, dance/movement therapy, music therapy, therapeutic recreation, and therapeutic yoga services. When feelings can't be put into words, Jody and her staff offer a variety of alternative ways to communicate the impact of events and experiences, as well as opportunities to assist in growth and healing by learning new coping skills through the creative arts.
