By Chris Ortega
Chris is a dynamic financial leader with over 10+ years of experience in accounting, financial planning & analysis, corporate finance, and financial management.
As a former public accounting auditor, I have been through my fair share of busy seasons which usually ran from September to April. My busy season experience consisted of 60 – 80 hour work weeks, working on the weekends, learning at an accelerated rate, and then waking up after April 15 trying to realize what the hell happened the past couple of months. For me this was character building and a learning opportunity that I am privileged and thankful that I got to experience in my career. However, like most I realized this was not what I wanted to do in the long term.
I moved on from public accounting to work for small to large companies. There I found myself in the midst of a period of time known as "budget season," spending 1 – 3 months working on next year's financial plan and ultimately completing the budget. I felt accomplished and confident that we delivered significant value to internal and external stakeholders.
But then, you come into the beginning of the year and all the work you just completed is rendered worthless. The business, assumptions, markets, strategy, economy, or macro business factors have all changed. Now the budget is irrelevant and the company has to focus on either a new budget re-plan or forecast.
Given my experience, below are my top 5 tips to help you get through your next budget season efficiently without burning out.
1. Help your team and organization focus on a few key business drivers.
Application: Some companies or teams want to focus on all business drivers and factors to ensure they have covered everything in the planning and overall budget presentation. Instead, focus on a few company KPI's to use for planning and predicting the business such as labor costs, capital costs or cash burn.
2. Balance time, energy and effort.
Application: Set up a tentative budget timeline and schedule with roles, responsibilities, and timelines for completion. This will help everyone involved in the budget process know their responsibility and timelines to ensure you are moving together and executing in sync.
3. Focus on quality and not quantity of budget documents.
Application: Do you have debt compliance reporting, corporate reporting, board reporting, or other reporting for external stakeholders? If so, let this be the first place you look to ensure you are completing the necessary budget documents for external and internal stakeholders. Also, don't get consumed with having an 80 excel tab document or other documents that focus on irrelevant business factors.
4. Develop an attitude of learning & partnership, not frustration & isolation.
Application: As long as you are in a finance, accounting, or FP&A capacity, budgets will likely be a reality for you. As with anything in life, your attitude will determine your altitude and outlook on any situation. So, support the process, execute, and deliver your greatest effort and work.
5. Trust the process and don't try to rush it.
Application: Budget season is a period where executive leadership to managers to individual contributors gain valuable insights about the business and company direction. Although you may have already been through plenty of these seasons in the past, understand this might be the first time for someone on your team or in your organization. So, help them understand the importance of trusting the process and not rushing just to get things done which could lead to others missing out on a great learning opportunity.
Lastly- no matter the situation or environment, find the learning, growth, and opportunity to expand your skills, passions, and talents.
And most of all- have FUN!

The Trump administration is considering reducing the annual $1 million mortgage deduction cap for U.S. homeowners as a part of its broader tax reform, despite earlier promises to protect the tax advantage, Politico reported on Friday.
Politico said the popular deduction came up this week at a White House roundtable with real estate industry representatives led by National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn.
The publication quoted an attendee as saying Cohn was willing to "ruffle some feathers" by putting everything on the table. Currently the Internal Revenue Service allows homeowners to deduct all interest on mortgages of up to $1 million.
Reducing mortgage deductibility, a treasured middle-class tax break in the U.S., would be unpopular with voters.
White House officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
How to pay for corporate tax cut?
Lowering the mortgage deduction cap could help pay for major tax cuts for businesses and individuals that Republicans view as crucial for driving U.S. economic growth.
Cohn told Bloomberg TV on Friday that the 35 per cent U.S. corporate tax rate should be more in line with the 24 per cent average rate among other countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
"We cannot be substantially higher than the OECD average tax rate out there," he said. "We've got to get in line with the rest of the world, we've got to entice capital to be invested in the United States."
In a separate Friday interview on Fox Business Network, Cohn said the administration and Congress are committed to get as low a rate as possible for corporations and other businesses.
President Donald Trump has been pushing to cut the corporate rate far lower to 15 per cent, a level that Republicans in Congress view as unlikely.
Drafting new tax regulation for September
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch told Reuters this week it would be a challenge to get the rate to 25 per cent.
Two congressional tax committees are drafting tax legislation that is expected to be unveiled in September. Republicans hope to pass the bill before the end of 2017.
Congress faces a packed legislative agenda when lawmakers return to Washington in September after their August break, including the task of raising the debt ceiling before October, when the Treasury Department is expected to fully exhaust its remaining borrowing capacity.
Cohn told Fox that the administration is well aware of the calendar and that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is working tirelessly to ensure that the debt ceiling gets raised.

The Story of MASK
MASK is an organization that has been around for more than 15 years and has changed our perceptions about wayward children. MASK advocates for children in countless settings and has pulled them back from the brink of despair over and over again, focusing on prevention. Ruchama Bistritzky-Clapman, Founder and Director of MASK, put it this way:
Parents, educators and physicians are concerned that more and more children seem to be requiring therapy than ever. While it may be difficult to determine statistically the number of children receiving therapy versus five or 10 years ago, it seems safe to say that it is more common for children to receive therapeutic intervention today than it was even 10 or 15 years
Hands OFF vs. Hands ON
Adolescents react in different ways when confronting social challenges. How they react depends on the circumstances: a teenage girl reacts to the way her secrets are exposed in one way, and a young boy being beaten reacts differently from that. In all cases, it is normal to see a range of emotions that run the gamut
Your children's school is not educating them properly. Our yeshivot are shortchanging their students with administrators and faculty that settle for mediocrity.
Such accusations are, of course, not true. Our schools are full of devoted, caring, and motivated teachers who work hard (in school and out) to provide for their students as best they can.
On Yom HaShoah, my 3-year-old daughter left gan with a memorial candle and a poem about the honor we show for the Jews who were killed in the Holocaust.

It's not easy feeding children. Some of them just don't like to eat. They instinctively know that even if it's shaped like a bear, it's a chicken nugget and a chicken nugget is made out of chicken (hopefully) and eating chicken would make mommy happy, so, no, that child is not eating it. It also doesn't help when their father is a picky eater. When we are
As we have just passed the "holiday" of Mother's day, when kids make their moms adorable cards and creative gifts in school and their dads desperately try to make some sort of good impression on mom so that Father's Day, for them, doesn't totally stink. I did see the irony in having the holiday of Shavuos follow so closely to Mother's Day and then look,
I was recently on a trip to Israel and on my return flight I decided to diligently utilize the much anticipated 12 hours of uninterrupted alone time to work on my next column. As I began to write, I was suddenly plunged forward from a forceful kick to the back of my seat.
Apparently, the little girl sitting behind me was not happy that her movie was over.
Some Ideas On Rewarding Or Punishing For Grades
Over the years, it appears that there has been a tectonic shift in education wherein there is more of an emphasis on grades rather than on learning itself. Somehow there is this crushing competition from the earliest school experience onward for which nursery, which elementary school, which high

Sola Salon Studios
The launch of the Sola Sessions in Denver, Colorado, made history by providing education, inspiration and community for Sola stylists and entrepreneurs across the nation.
Sola hairdressers, estheticians and nail techs from more than a dozen states joined at the Curtis Hotel to learn from some of the best educators in the professional beauty industry. The event was the first of many planned by Sola Salon Studios.
Sola's first-ever stylist and Director of Education, Kim Bennett Horvath, kicked-off the event by sharing some of her experiences at Sola over the last 12 years and inspiring the 250 attendees to get out of their comfort zone and learn something new. Kim was followed by co-founders Stratton Smith and Matt Briger who told the story of Sola's roots, sharing their passion for providing the best tools and support to salon professionals, always putting their needs first. "We've remained focused on making this the best possible experience for our stylists," Stratton shared.
Nina Kovner, the founder of Passion Squared, followed that message with inspiration to the audience for finding the inner purpose of each participant's business. With the goal of creating "bad ass marketers" out of all Sola stylists in attendance, Nina had attendees close their eyes and explore why they do what they do.
She used the upward trajectory of Sola's mission as an example: "Sola is in the empowerment business," Nina said. "And that's a killer purpose!"
With energy in the room rising, the Sola Sessions then changed gears to focus on business education with a comprehensive Marketing 101 discussion with Jennie Wolff, Sola's VP of Marketing and Stylist Programs.
Jennie Wolff, who has a diverse background in strategic marketing and communications, started with an overhead view of the various marketing tactics that work together to create an integrated marketing plan. She then zoomed-in and encouraged stylists to give their business a boost by investing their time on marketing channels that will help them connect with their customers and drive business results. She urged everyone to try one new thing, sharing myriad tools provided by Sola Salon Studios, and encouraged the stylists to take advantage of the resources available at their fingertips.
Redken's legendary Michael Cole then took Jennie's message to the next level with some inspiring straight-talk that urged Sola stylists in the room to look through a different lens to maximize their earnings and business success. First, he said, as stylists – and across the beauty industry – professionals need to get comfortable charging what they're worth. Sometimes pricing can be an uncomfortable conversation, but it's an important one to have with yourself to maximize success and performance.
The afternoon Sola Sessions consisted of diverse artistic education, as inspirational Luis Alvarez, co-founder of Aquage, DJ Muldoon of theFactory, and Redken's Sam Villa performed stellar shows.
Luis Alvarez and Nicole Gary delivered an on-stage performance that ended with dramatic, goddess-inspired styles that combined the very best education on technique, tools and product.
DJ Muldoon had the crowd mesmerized while he delivered an edgy, red-carpet-ready look with tips rooted in the basics, including the critical importance of hair tension while cutting.
Sam Villa ran on to the platform and got the Sola group popping out of their seats before heading down the path of inspiration and technique. In the midst of his amazing style demonstration, Villa connected with the audience directly when he shared the inspiring story of a beauty school student who told him she was ready to quit after being discouraged by her peers.
A survivor of his own doubters, Villa told the crowd that when he was finishing school, he faced similar odds, being told he was no good with his hands.
"I dare you to say that now," he proclaimed, with an inspired defiance in his voice.
The day also featured the Side Sessions Lounge where vendors CosmoProf, SalonCentric, Sanitas Skincare, gloProfessional, Sola's own Kim Schine of The Painted Ten and Hattori Hanzo Shears provided services and additional education opportunities for estheticians, nail techs and other service providers.
Throughout the Denver Sola Session, educators shared a common theme of growth and togetherness across the industry. Editors from Beauty Launchpad and American Salon who were in attendance for the event were impressed by the high caliber of the lineup, and also said the theme of building-up Sola stylists to connect and meet their independent goals together and as individuals resonated with them.
For a visual recap of the event's amazing highlights, hop over to Instagram and search for #solasessions and double-tap to show some love for the incredible educators who made the first-ever Sola Sessions a hit!
Click here to watch a video created by Luis Alvarez that encapsulates the overall feeling throughout the Sola Sessions event.
While a first-time event only happens once, there's so much more to come! Stay tuned for some exciting news about the next Sola Session in Minneapolis on Monday, April 25!
Future 2016 Sessions also include Orange County on September 12 and Charlotte, NC on November 14.

You can ask him to download the JotForm app on Google Play or on the App Store.
The app does not automatically create accounts for a user. The user has to create an account for himself in order to have access on his account via the app. But if you would like them to get notified of submissions from the forms you have created, you will have to provide them your account information.
Alternatively, you can ask them to create their own accounts and then make them your sub-users. You can then share forms with them and it should do the same for notifications. Please note that you can only create 3 sub-users for your account tier. You can check out this guide to know more: https://www.jotform.com/help/232-How-to-Share-Forms-with-a-Sub-Account-User

Your Junk is a Bird's Treasure
You've all heard the phrase: One man's junk is someone else's treasure. Well, here's a new twist: Your junk is a bird's treasure!
There are many birds such as swallows, robins and finches that look for pre-made structures or items that they can use as a foundation to build their nests.
I discovered a barrage of old, useless things I was about to discard, when I realized that the birds in my backyard might want to use them as the framework for their new home – and I was right!
This old yellow metal lantern had glass panes and was used to hold an electric candle. I took out the panes of glass (careful to make sure no sharp edges remained). Without the glass, the lantern with its cut-out metal silhouette design, now had ventilation on all four sides. I opened the metal door for easy access and hung it under my desk. Within five days, the nest in the photo started to form.
To the left of the lantern, you'll see an old thistle birdseed feeder that had a tube of glass inside to hold the seed. It became useless to the birds when the squirrels viewed it as their own personal buffet. Inside of throwing it away, I removed the glass tube leaving the pretty wire framework and will hang this under a different portion of the deck – I know there will be new tenants soon! Not only does this vessel provide great air circulation and easy ways for small birds to go in and out of the frame (including through the top opening), but it also offers the birds protection once their nest is built in the bottom.
Many birds aren't that fussy. This is a chance for you to turn your unused items into safe havens for your backyard birds.
- Find a secure location high enough off the ground to keep birds safe from predators. Secure your vessel under eaves or decks or sturdily affix your vessel to a tree trunk or heavy branch using leaves as camouflage.
- Make sure your vessel is securely mounted so that wind and rain won't knock it down.
- Be sure there are no sharp edges so birds will not get injured when they fly in and out.
- It is critical that the vessel be fully ventilated (to avoid suffocation of baby birds) and have multiple ways for birds to exit. Remember: Summer is here, it gets HOT!
- Exits should be near the bottom. Baby birds may NOT be able to fly out of a deep vessel if the only way out is through the top.
- Depending on your vessel, add a stick for "perching".
Use your creative skills to come up with your own ideas putting your old junk to good use. You'll be pleasantly rewarded — who doesn't like waking up to the sound happy, chirping birds?

To my disappointment and probably to many, it seems the Muppets have lost their luster in the entertainment industry during the past couple of years. The past few films have been flops, a German business magnet bought them and seems to have buyer's remorse and while a television holiday movie aired this past November (2002), it really seems no one cares and there are no plans for any major Muppet comebacks anytime soon (though apparently they might be bought out again, and it seems Disney might take them over). Oh, and who can forget a semi-"Muppet Show" revival in 1996 with "Muppets Tonight!" (which ABC axed and most of the episodes were aired on The Disney Channel). I guess lovable, wacky, talking puppets don't have their place among computers, Harry Potter and Japanese animation with kids these days.
It's a shame, really. While I wasn't born when The Muppets debuted, they are an integral part of my childhood. I used to see "The Muppet Show" reruns all the time, and for a kid like me in the 1980s, one of the best cartoon shows - if not the best - was "Muppet Babies." And yeah, they had the first movie in 1979 and then two sequels in the early 1980s, but this show is what those kinda mop/puppets (according to Homer Simpson) are best known for other than "Sesame Street." With its special guest stars, smile-worthy humor and great characters, there's no question why "The Muppet Show" picked up a few Emmys and has tons of fans young and old (probably more told the old these days).
In case you've never seen an episode of the show or never even heard of it (damn this current generation! - though if you've seen the Weezer music video "Keep Fishin'," the idea of that video is like this TV series), the idea is that Kermit (he's the green frog) must put together a variety show every week at a theater. With him are the other Muppets such as drummer Animal (and then there was the rest of the band he was in, The Electric Mayhem), Miss Piggy (the pig who loves Kermit), up-and-coming comedian Fozzie Bear, that crazy Swedish Chef and the "whatever" Gonzo (though it turns out he was an alien - you'd know that if more than six people saw "Muppets From Space"!). So Kermit and his crew put together funny comedy sketches, get a big name guest star to spice things up and try to deliver a fun show, despite the backstage anxieties. Oh, and then there's hecklers Waldorf and Statler to give everyone a hard time.
Twenty-five years later, the charm of "The Muppet Show" cannot be denied. They'll probably never be another show like it (even though I thought "Muppets Tonight!" was decent), and that's probably a good thing. It's always rare for a show to be so appealing to both adults and children, but "The Muppet Show" was one of those rare deals. I'm sure the guest stars attracted many adults, as well as some amusing over-the-head references children wouldn't catch on to. And for the kids, there were those lovable Muppets and the Wacky fun they offered. The musical variety and wide variety of sketches always added a nice touch (such recurring and memorable sketches were "Pigs In Space," the Jug Band and "Vet's Hospital), as the show never got old or the slightest bit dull. The writing was always amazingly sharp, the guest stars never took themselves seriously which was part of the magic and the Muppet performers had great comedic timing and knew how to nail the show so perfectly and intricately.
The theme of this third volume are more great singers. Harry Belafonte competes against animal and performs some great songs, Linda Ronstadt also competes (she's Miss Piggy as far as winning Kermit's heart) and John Denver also songs and has some fun with the Muppets. I know this all might not sound like much to most of you, but the greatness of "The Muppet Show" was that it all came together to be a very entertaining, well produced, well constructed and well written show. If you never seen it, then I can safely say you've never seen anything like it and it's something you need to watch at least once in your lifetime. Besides, then you'll fully understand what I'm talking about. So whether you're new to the Muppet franchise or have seen these episodes many times, everyone should enjoy such classic TV on DVD.
Presented once again in their original 1.33:1 full screen aspect ratios, everything here is pretty nice. The bad first: yes, the episodes can be a bit fuzzy at times, can be a little soft and have some noise. Still, they look pretty damn good after all this time. Fleshtones on the humans are nice, color saturation is bold and very fitting if not slightly underwhelming, detail is very nice and you can see much of what makes a Muppet. No major complaints here, so enjoy these for what they are.
The two channel English mono tracks once again nicely match the show. Since these episodes are more musically based, it's a chance for other sounds and the songs to shine. Harry Belafonte's performances, especially "Day-O," do sound nice but certainly won't blaze your speakers up or anything. Still, the musical performances are very nice and add some change and more action in the sound (as do the sound effects). The rest of the dialogue is clear and easy to hear, fidelity is once again very good and the dynamic range doesn't amount to much, but given the age of these episodes and the nature of it all, it's fine with me. And yes, there's English closed captions through your television too. Enjoy!
Unlike some other television shows on DVD, those who were putting the Muppets on DVD were wise enough to include some decent bonus material. First up are Brian Henson Introductions. Lasting about a minute each and filmed, these are very nice as the man who pulls the main strings of our puppet friends now (get it?) and who has taken over his father's legacy talks about each episode presented. Henson provides great background information on the guest performers involvement with the show and highlights key moments (complete with clips from the episode). Very heartfelt (especially the Harry Belafonte introduction since it comes together with the death of Jim Henson) and very well spoken. They're nice touches if you ask me.
Muppetisms is the new name for "Muppet Moments" (as featured on the past two DVDs). Bunsen and Beaker hop around with penguins and they all wear rabbit ears ("The Bunny Hop"). This full frame forty second piece is yet another inspiring PSA. Movie Mania is a funny look at Muppet screen tests, as our friends try out for "A Streetcar Named Desire" (it lasts a minute and one second and is in full frame). From The Archives featres a Stalter and Waldorf drawing by their original builder, Bonnie Erickson and then there's Trailers for other Columbia/Tristar family titles, "Kermit's Swamp Years" and "Stuart Little 2."
Oh, and a note: if you go and select a show, you'll only be able to select certain scenes. Hit the "Play Show" icon at the bottom to get the entire episode (and yes, you can chapter skip there).
Even though The Muppets sadly seem to be fading from the pop culture scene, their legacy will always live on and probably be best remembered for "The Muppet Show." Columbia is doing a terrific job with television releases, and this is a prime example with a solid presentation and some nice extras. The list price is very nice too, so if you're a Muppet fan, then do yourself a favor and pick this volume (as well as the others) up!

To increase your company's chances of hooking a 'whale', follow these recommendations as we e're creeping up on the end of the second quarter. So as you start making plans to grow your small business, it's a great time to focus on what it takes to land a "whale," or a big client. Hooking one can take time, but I have six ways that can increase your chances of success.
Be choosy about your prospects
Small businesses are often seduced by the glitz of big-name companies and pitch every giant they can think of. That approach is a mistake. Instead, target the big companies that you respect, the ones that reflect your business' values and have a history of working with smaller suppliers. To weed out prospects, read each firm's annual report and news releases. That's where you'll see whether its causes and commitment to giving are a good match for you.
Also, look at the supplier-diversity section of the company's website. It will give you insights about opportunities and criteria for small businesses.
Make your introductory message sharp
Business coach Barry Moltz, the Chicago-based author of You Need to Be a Little Crazy: The Truth About Starting and Growing Your Own Business, says small business owners often try to cram too much information into their first email or call to a big prospect, hoping that something they say will resonate. Instead, hone in on what your company does best.
Perhaps your business has a knack for saving money on IT. Don't muddy the waters by hawking your firm's Web design or social media marketing services.
Focus on your solution to a whale's problem
All companies have problems; you want to offer prospects sure-fire solutions. If you're a whiz at search engine optimization, for instance, your business could be a godsend to a Fortune 500's overworked marketing department.
When you make a sales pitch to a whale, don't highlight the features of your product or service. Instead, describe how your firm can save the company time, money or energy; reach new markets; increase employee engagement or overcome a key obstacle. Help your prospect picture a world where a big problem doesn't exist anymore.
Meet every stakeholder possible
Once you get beyond the introductory email or call and have a chance to make an in-person pitch, it's imperative that you meet as many of the people involved with your potential order as you can.
At large companies, Searcy says, hiring a new firm to provide products or services affects a broader swath of people than at smaller businesses. So the more connections you can make, the less you're likely to encounter objections due to change or fear of an unknown supplier. "Ask your corporate contact if you can meet other people who will be affected by the decision, so you can answer their questions," Searcy says.

Genre: Suspense/Romance
Review by: D.A. Henneman - Stars: 4
I absolutely loved Brie's voice in this story, it grabbed me from the start. She comes across as being older and wiser, but we find out quickly that even strong and independent people can be victims of circumstance. After a fire at the restaurant where she works, resulting in the death of a co-worker, Brie is swept into a situation where her life changes fast. At the same time she is being offered a new job, she meets a handsome stranger who has everything a girl could want, expect a permanent address nearby.
We experience relationships through Brie's lens, and I found myself really connecting to her sense of humor as she navigates through job offers and life choices. The chapters when she is left to deal with a horrifying reality, were written in a jarring and disjointed way. It allowed me to feel her confusion and avoidance and was just as it would be for someone going through something traumatic. I appreciated that as a reader.
This book kept me guessing to the very end, and the author has done a great job at building a story with characters that I feel I could very well meet. Wonderful job on a debut novel, I am anxious to read the continuation of this story!

Guest Column: Ohio is Missing its #METOO Moment
"Ohio must not miss out on our #metoo moment. The time for change is now." – Susan Petersen
As I sat and listened to the Oscars, I was reminded that a tide has turned in American culture. Victims of sexual assault are being given a voice with which to unroot what was perpetrated against them. There should be no safe harbor for those who would harm others, no matter their status or station.
Sadly, those in power have allowed laws to change to not only empower those who would do harm to others but strip victims of sexual assault of sacred constitutional rights. This isn't something that just happens in Hollywood. It is a "me too" moment for Ohioans.
The following story gives meaning by example.
Jessica Simpkins was a 15-year-old member of Sunbury Grace Brethren Church in Sunbury, Ohio. During a counseling session in March 2008, the church's senior pastor, Brian Williams, asked the teenager to perform oral sex. When she refused, Williams forced her. Simpkins then attempted to leave the office. Williams blocked the door, pushed her to the floor and raped her.

Guest post written by Noah Levinson, founder and director of Calcutta Kids
Every hour, 40 young children in India die from a disease which has afflicted every person reading this blog at one time or another — diarrhea. For most of us, diarrhea is a mere annoyance, a discomfort, one easily remedied by a few Pepto-Bismol tablets. But for hundreds of thousands of children in India and the developing world, diarrhea kills. In fact, diarrhea remains the second leading killer of children in the world. Jolkona partner Calcutta Kids is saving lives with a proven model of treatment and education that costs a mere $10 per child.
Effective, inexpensive treatment saves lives
It's not actually the diarrhea that kills, but rather the dehydration caused by the diarrhea. While oral rehydration solution (ORS) is readily available throughout India, it is often misused or not enough of it is given to properly rehydrate the child. Providing ORS in a clinical setting greatly increases a child's chance of survival.
Calcutta Kids has replicated the successful model of the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, which annually treats more than 180,000 diarrhea-afflicted patients in Bangladesh by providing oral rehydration solution in a clinical setting. Situated in a slum area outside of Kolkata, India, Calcutta Kids' clinic officially opened in March 2011. Since then, it has successfully treated more than 200 young children with a combination of treatments: ORS, zinc, and very occasional use of antibiotics, plus behavior-change communication to promote good hygiene habits. Treatments usually last two to four hours, and families receive a follow-up home visit by a trained health worker to ensure that the child is recuperating and to provide life-saving information to the child's caretaker.
One of the innovative components of this treatment is that the protocol is guided by a database to ensure that each step is followed. Through alarms in the database, nurses are informed when the next checkup must take place; through a graph, the doctor can estimate the child's level of dehydration. The database also ensures that a trained health worker provides behavior-change communication before the child can be discharged.
How you can help
Through Jolkona, Calcutta Kids has found a platform through which we can sustain our efforts to fight these senseless child deaths from diarrhea. At a cost of only $10 per treatment, we hope that people of all means will be able to finance one diarrhea treatment each month — and quite possibly, save a child's life. We also encourage caring individuals and families to commemorate a loved one's birthday or a holiday with a truly meaningful gift: a second chance at life for a child.
And when you donate to Calcutta Kids, we will make sure that you know how your money has been spent by sending you a digital copy of the discharge certificate of the treated child (with the name omitted for confidentiality purposes) with a full explanation of the services provided.
Noah Levinson, MPH, is the founder and executive director of Calcutta Kids, a nonprofit organization he founded while he was an undergraduate student at Marlboro College. He is also a founding board member of Jolkona Foundation and has provided Jolkona with invaluable guidance since our early days.
Calcutta Kids is an organization committed to the empowerment of the poorest children and expecting mothers in the underserved slums in and around Kolkata, India. Calcutta Kids is well versed at leveraging its resources — something we seek to emulate at Jolkona Foundation.

Don't you just hate it when you try to offer positive encouragement to your child but it falls completely flat?
It happened to me just this week. My oldest came home and proudly showed me the 'A' he got on his biography of Lord Admiral Nelson. I was so impressed that I immediately said, "Good Job!"
He looked at me expectantly for a few more seconds. And then his face fell.
"Ugh. That's what you always say!" he said and he snatched his paper out of my hands, obviously disappointed.
"But," I stammered, "I really think you did a great job!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." he muttered as he walked away dejected.
I felt like the carpet had been pulled out from under my feet. Here I was thinking that I'd been encouraging my son. Apparently though, "good job" wasn't the way to go.
This is not the case in just our house. Research has shown consistently that generic praise like "good job" may actually do more harm than good.
There is even research which suggests praising children on how they did can cause your child to instinctively reject the praise or, even worse yet, deliberately do the opposite. If they don't believe they did a good job having you say "good job" means nothing. Children result in feeling manipulated to perform and they will rebel against the manipulation.
Too much "good job" praise from parents can also cause children to lose their internal motivation. They achieve only to receive approval from you and not because they are interested in what they are learning or feel good about succeeding. This creates adults who are unable to find satisfaction because they don't have practice in feeling what makes them satisfied.
So, if we are to avoid blanket praise like "good job", what can we say instead that will show our kids we really are proud of them and impressed by their achievement? How can we offer our kids positive encouragement?

Little did she know, but Roberta Rohrer was running a 1979 co-op board election campaign from a pickup truck on the edge of the Great Plains.
Rohrer had been working alongside her husband Arnold Rohrer in their land leveling business. Land leveling was common in Montana then, Roberta Rohrer says, because government money was available to help farmers and ranchers do it for irrigation purposes.
Roberta and Arnold Rohrer would drive from landowner to landowner around Great Falls, MT, marking out how they would change the slope of the land, Arnold doing the measuring and Roberta making the mark.
One of their customers, S. T. McFarland, saw something in Roberta Rohrer she had never considered.
McFarland was soon retiring from the Sun River Electric Cooperative board, and wondered if Rohrer would like to run in his place.

Keeping up with Korean pop culture
A Q&A with UCI professor and founding director of the Center for Critical Korean Studies, Kyung Hyun Kim.
The UCI Center for Critical Korean Studies launched in 2016 and has since become a center of both scholarly and cultural importance in Southern California. In line with their visionary programming and stance on Korean studies, the center will host an all-day Afro-Korean hip-hop festival and conference, which will end with a concert featuring one of Korea's most well-known hip-hop groups, MFBTY, on October 7. Below, Kyung Hyun Kim, founding director of the center and professor of East Asian studies, discusses Korean cinema, how performer Tiger JK influenced the hip-hop scene in Korea, and more.
Q: What do you consider your greatest accomplishments while leading the UCI Center for Critical Korean Studies?
A: Some of my greatest accomplishments include helping to sponsor the Comfort Women photo exhibit with UCI Libraries, organizing major conferences on Korean adoption and ecology with my wonderful colleagues, and providing fellowships to incoming graduate students in Korean studies. But probably the most thrilling part of this job has been taking the short ride to the Hyundai Motor America headquarters up the 405 and then having meetings with the corporate executives there in order to promote Korean Studies at UCI and getting funding secured for the event on Oct. 7th.
Q. Tell us about the all-day conference, "Korean Hip-Hop and New Explorations of Afro-Asian Identity Conference," taking place on October 7. Is this the first conference of its kind? What can attendees expect?
A.This conference will discuss issues of both identities of Koreans and African Americans in Korean hip-hop, addressing race in hip-hop in new ways through tackling formal linguistic analysis of the genre, discussing the impact of Korean locality on hip-hop, and outlining its evolution in the Korean musical context. What we are hoping to do is to explore Korean hip-hop and K-pop in general as a hybrid music of both Koreanness and blackness.
Q: How did you secure the musical talent (MFBTY) coming to campus on October 7?
A: My colleague in Korea had just published a book on Korean hip-hop and she had Tiger JK and his posse, MFBTY, over to speak to her class, so she gave me their contacts. Tiger JK and YoonMirae are big celebs in Korea. Together, they're often referred to as Korea's Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The fall season is where they typically book many shows in Asia, so they were at first reluctant to make their big trip to the U.S., but I didn't give up. I had a friend in LA who used to work as a manager/production designer, who knew YoonMirae very well, so I persuaded YoonMirae to come through that friend. Negotiations dragged on for about six months before they finally said OK!
Q: What was the impetus for bringing Tiger JK, YoonMirae, and Bizzy to campus? Are you personally a fan of them and Korean hip-hop?
A: Yes, I'm a big fan of Tiger JK, YoonMirae, and Bizzy. About 20 years ago, Tiger JK performed as a rap duo called Drunken Tiger and they were the first hip-hop duo that authenticated American rap in Korea. Tiger JK grew up in LA in the 1980s and 1990s and knew the scene pretty well, and when the Rodney King civil unrest took place in 1992, he, as a young high school rapper, tried to help mediate the tension between blacks and Koreans. Moving to Korea, he had to re-learn Korean to legitimatize himself as a Korean rapper and established his presence through his bilingual identity and style. It all fits the bill of what we are trying to explore in our Afro-Korean Hip-Hop Festival and Conference.
Q: What drew you to studying Hallyu (the increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s) and especially to studying Korean cinema?
A: I first studied Korean cinema because no one else was doing it in the early 1990s! But it soon caught fire and everyone else started looking into Korean cinema and then Korean dramas and K-pop because many of our students grew up with it. I feel as if my career was wrapped around the big gusty winds of hallyu and it simply hasn't died just yet. About 10 years ago, I first encountered non-Korean heritage students in my class who spoke Korean really well—all because they watched Korean variety shows growing up and studied the language through the Internet. It wasn't just one, but the students who were drawn to Korean cultural contents and Korean language came in bigger and bigger waves. I had to satisfy students' demand for knowledge, and this encourages me to make sure that I know my stuff on Korean culture. Not only do I have to know all of the major dates in the Chosun Dynasty, but also all of the names of BTS members! It's a big challenge!
Q: What makes Korean cinema unique and how does it reflect Korea's political standing?
A: Korean cinema is still very unique because some films adhere to the style of hallyu and some do not. Yes, Korean films star many K-drama and even K-pop celebrities, who are cast in major roles, but they end up playing parts that are a lot more intense, violent, and real than the cute image manufactured by K-pop or K-drama. So, it's the artsy side of popular representations that carve up the contours and shapes of K-cinema. Also, while K-drama and K-pop are notoriously apolitical and do not make many comments on the political situation in Korea, Korean cinema is completely the opposite. There are many films —"JSA," "Welcome to Dongmakgol," and "Ode to My Father" —that provide commentaries on Japanese colonialism, the war, and the current division of Korea.
Q: You co-produced with Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation and Korean Film Archive the restoration of a Korean classic film from 1960 "The Housemaid," which premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. What was that experience like and why "The Housemaid?"
A: Marty is really into Korean films and he found my book The Remasculinization of Korean Cinemareally interesting. The theme of masculinity and violence in Korean cinema obviously tickled his fancy since his entire filmography is built around those themes. Many of Marty's films have influenced Korean cinema directors such as Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, and Hong Sang-soo and it was weird now to see Marty influenced by the younger generation of Korean directors who grew up with his films. So, I arranged a meeting between Marty and some of the stars of Korean cinema such as Ha Jeong-woo and so on. Marty and I naturally began talking about spending some of our time and money to restore one of the classic films from Korea. He fell in love with "The Housemaid" when I showed it to him in 2007, but lamented that the original film was in poor shape. We spent funds to do a frame-by-frame analysis and a digital cleanup with the aid of Korean Film Archive and premiered it in Cannes. It was so successful that I helped to also launch a remake film of "The Housemaid" in 2010 and to also release the original film on the Criterion Blu-ray. Marty did the video introduction of the film, and I wrote the liner notes for the Blu-ray release.

Inside the dressing room with Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer ahead of Laver Cup doubles match
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were on the same side as part of Team Europe facing Team World at the Laver Cup in Prague.
Europe won the contest 15-9, and the most exciting moment was when the pair played as doubles partners on the second day of the competition.
The two tennis icons, who have won an amazing total of 35 Grand Slam titles between them, were on the same side of the net for the first time in history on Saturday.
Despite the lack of team chemistry, they managed to defeat the American duo Sam Querrey and Jack Sock 6-4, 1-6, 10-5 to give Team Europe a 9-3 lead in the contest.
It was exciting for fans to see how two of the best players of this era would gel and collaborate.
And, an interesting video has emerged that shows how they discuss team tactics before the match.
It worked, although it was more due to the individual greatness both of them posses.
Both admitted they had not practiced together and Federer is positive it will stay like this in future.
However, the pair enjoyed being on the same side and learned some valuable things about each other.
"We will always be rivals as long as we are active. And after this we will be rivals again," Federer commented.
"It's been an absolute pleasure sharing the court with Rafa. Being on the same side of the net you know you can trust him in the big moments.
"Seeing his decision making and his thought process was very interesting."
Nadal described the experience as "unforgettable", and added: "To have the possibility to have Roger next to me is a huge privilege... something I wanted to make happen at some point and today I made it happen.
"After all the history that we had behind us as rivals it was great to be on the same side of the court fighting for a team it was something we enjoyed a lot." the Spaniard added.
"The atmosphere for the whole match and during the weekend was fantastic."
Although Federer and Nadal played down the possibility of competing in doubles, their opponent Sam Querrey is positive they would be contenders to win majors.
"I do think if they played together consistently, they would definitely be [contenders] for four slams a year," the American insisted.
Bearing in mind their qualities as singles, it is exciting to imagine seeing them as partners on the court more often.News Now - Sport News

Desserts: Rolo Eye Cookies
When I came across these cookies I thought they were so cute and I knew that the kids at church would love them or the people at my sister's school would. They look like they are extremely easy to make since they use store bought cookie dough. I am making some for a Halloween Party this year.
For the recipe, click the picture above.
