Good Deeds: What Impact Do They Have on You?

February 11, 2015

Good deeds are acts of kindness, filled with love and compassion. Any good deed performed is a virtuous act, as long as it is accompanied by good intentions. Therefore, good deeds are virtuous. There are several ways to practice good deeds; each one bringing joy not only to the recipient, but also to the giver, with a rippling effect that spreads outward. Here are a few suggestions:

  1. On the spur of the moment, do something nice for someone else! Let the inspiration seize you and act upon it! After all, this is Random Acts of Kindness week! Give a smile. Hold a door open. Choose to be kind rather than right for a change.
  2. Identify a need and do what you can to fill that need. Donate clothes to a shelter. Make a donation to your local food bank. Pick up the tab for lunch with a friend going through a tough time. Give a listening ear to a stranger.
  3. “Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matt 25:40). Take up Pope Francis’ call to action to alleviate hunger and poverty. Do your part to make this world a better place for everyone. Do it with love and kindness.

The possibilities of such good deeds are endless. The good ripples emanating from such good deeds are incalculable. In whichever way you choose to practice kindness, know that your actions become the fruit of the Holy Spirit on full display; for it is with your hands, your feet and your mouth that He does His work! May good deeds abound!

Now that we have discussed the virtue of kindness, we move next to discuss the virtue of forgiveness in our next reflection; a great virtue to discuss as we enter the season of Lent. Yes, Lent begins one week from today! Time flies!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a special surprise from!

  • Just sharing…Every year our HS takes about 30Jr/Sr’s to Mississippi to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. The gift they receive in giving of themselves is transformative. Suddenly their world no longer revolves just around them for they see the value in giving not only those in need but those in their family and neighborhood as well. I have had the privilege of watching this transformation with 2 of my children and their classmates. All because a teacher and his friend felt compelled to go to Mississippi to help in the initial relief efforts has this ministry grown into what it is today. I can’t wait to see the effects it will have on my 3rd child and her classmates who will make the trip in a couple of weeks.

  • I have lived my life this way. And you know what… things I did for people when I was much younger are still affecting my life and friendships today.
    For instance, I got back in touch with my friend Lisa, via FaceBook. And she was back in college (after marrying and having children). She wanted to share with me a paper she wrote, in college, about me, because I helped her 30 years before while we were in College. I didn’t even remember it. I was touched and astounded.
    But it made me think. When you do things, from the heart – not looking for THANKS – those things bless so many people!
    Keep being kind. You never know.

  • This brought to mind an incident when I offered my seat to someone and I was snubbed. But that didn’t deter me from doing acts of kindness. Whether appreciated or not, acts of kindness will always add more to our treasures in heaven. May good deeds abound indeed! God bless you!

  • This is a great post, if only more of the world thought this way, it would make for a fantastic place to live and raise children in!

Blog Post - Improve Communication with Your Partner with Your Host Nikki Leigh: Men and women have trouble communicat.. http://bit.ly/iXdcud

No comments:


text:
She is a 12-year-old who needs to stay in school, be adequately nourished, learn how to keep herself safe and healthy, and be vaccinated against HPV to protect her from cervical cancer later in life. She is a single 16-year-old who seeks to complete her secondary education and find a job, while meeting her needs for voluntary contraceptive choices and protection against HIV. She is a married 24-year-old who wants to provide for her family, control the timing and spacing of her pregnancies, survive childbirth, live a healthy full life, and have strong, well-nourished children.

As the adolescent girl becomes a young woman, her life prospects and those of her children will rest on access to several vital interventions that are commonplace in the United States: information and services on voluntary contraceptive choices, access to education and prevention of early child marriage, basic nutrition, vaccines to prevent cervical cancer, economic opportunities, and reliable protections against violence. How her life evolves will rely on access to quality care, informed decisions, and critical support structures.

We have a historic opportunity to make a difference—for her future, for the future of her family and community, and for our own—by providing the tools that allow her to realize her full potential.

From our co-chairs

Helene Gayle“The work of the CSIS Task Force exemplifies how people with different perspectives can unite behind a common mission and work to create positive change. We were fortunate to have the insights of leaders from Congress, industry, foundations, universities, the faith community, and nongovernmental organizations, among others, all committed to building on the impressive American legacy in global public health. The resulting vision of improving the health and well-being of adolescent girls and young women, and in doing so, unleashing their economic and social potential, will resonate throughout our society and can be realized with the determined leadership of both Congress and the administration.” — Helene Gayle

John Hammergren“As a global health leader, the United States has a unique ability to help improve the lives of girls and women in developing nations. Through the partnership of government, businesses, and nonprofits, and by leveraging the innovation and technology that America is known for, together, we can truly help change lives in a powerful and lasting way.”— John Hammergren

The CSIS Task Force recommends that the Trump administration, in concert with Congress, launch a signature health initiative that targets not a single disease or global health challenge, but rather an important population: adolescent girls and young women (ages 10–24).

The Goal: To secure the health and future of adolescent girls and young women in 13 low-income countries. Doing so will generate vital returns over the course of their lives and the lives of their children, significantly strengthening families, communities, and societies at-large.

The Strategy: Concerted U.S. high-level leadership over the next four years will expand proven interventions that advance maternal and newborn health, family planning and reproductive health, nutrition, and prevention of cervical cancer. It will build upon the PEPFAR structures that have achieved dramatic gains in reducing the risk of HIV infection. Success will be aided by a tight geographic focus on 13 target countries, and a careful, systematic approach that joins the expansion of health-related services with improved access to education, economic empowerment, and gender-based violence prevention and response programs. The strategy will rely on innovative approaches to technology, lessons learned from the business community, systematic use of existing investments, strong governance and accountability, engagement of men and boys, and aggressive mobilization of diverse financial resources, including expanded contributions by the private sector.

The Rationale

Why this population now?

A Period of Immense Change for Young Women: Early adolescence (10 to 14 years) is a critical time to build on previous investments in child health, nutrition, HIV prevention, and education, and to lay the foundation for continued cognitive and physical development. The onset of puberty is an important time to reach girls with information about reproductive health, nutrition, gender-based violence, and gender equality.

Late adolescence (15 to 19 years) represents an important period to build and expand health and education gains. In the developing world, the average adolescent girl often becomes sexually active, marries, and has her first child in this period—one of many reasons why only 18 percent of young women complete secondary school across the 13 target countries.

Young adulthood (20 to 24 years) is a critical time for young women to sustain health gains and realize their full earning potential. In developing countries, many young mothers quickly become pregnant again, which increases the risks for mother and newborn of dying during childbirth, as well as illness and other complications during and after delivery. It also decreases their access to social and economic opportunities.

An Urgent Need: The adolescent and young adult population in low-income countries is at a historic high and will continue to rise in the coming years.1 This demographic phenomenon, a central dimension of the “youth bulge,” threatens to lead to high unemployment and instability, including in countries that matter significantly to U.S. national interests.2 Recent progress in reducing deaths among children under the age of five means there are more young women than ever in history who need to be reached with critical services. As these young women navigate the journey between childhood and adulthood, they and any children they bear face perilous health risks that can both compromise their potential and impose grave costs to society.

working age

Too often, adolescent girls and young women, especially those living in poverty, fall through the cracks: they live with high risks of early marriage, unintended pregnancy, gender-based violence, and exploitation, which in turn leave them at high risk of maternal mortality and serious illness, birth complications, HIV infection, and cervical cancer. Within the household, they are often the last to eat, putting them at increased risk of malnutrition. As these risks intensify, lifetime educational and economic opportunities slip away.3

A High-Yield Opportunity. Investing in adolescent girls and young women, we now know, has a triple impact:

  1. On the lifetime of that individual;
  2. On the lifetime of her children, the next generation; and
  3. On the broader prosperity of her community.4

According to the World Bank, improving health outcomes for women can increase labor productivity by as much as 25 percent in some countries.5 By supporting young women today and assisting them to become productive members of society tomorrow, the world economy stands to grow by as much as $12 trillion, should women be permitted to play an equal role in labor markets as men.6 Achieving a fraction of that increase through these interventions will help to improve economic outcomes in the 13 target countries.

Major Global Health Initiatives

A Chance to Make History: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), The Lancet commission on adolescent health and wellbeing, Family Planning 2020, and the UN Secretary General’s Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescent’s Health have generated considerable global momentum in support of adolescent girls. U.S. policy has recently added a significant new dimension with the launch of the landmark, ambitious PEPFAR DREAMS partnership, which concentrates efforts to reduce the extreme risks of HIV infection faced by adolescent girls and young women in “hot spots” in 10 sub- Saharan African countries. Other related U.S. policy efforts include the Let Girls Learn initiative, the Global Strategy to Empower Adolescent Girls, and the USAID goal of ending preventable child and maternal deaths. Meanwhile, important public-private partnerships such as Saving Mothers, Giving Life have demonstrated the possibility of achieving concrete gains in reducing maternal mortality,7 while Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon has done the same for preventing and treating cervical cancer.8

What is missing today is a viable, integrated plan to meet the unique needs of adolescent girls and young women that has substantial financial backing from diverse sources and can deliver concrete gains in health and educational and economic prospects. Making better use of data and surveillance tools will allow us to target services where they are most needed. This is what the proposed U.S. signature initiative seeks to achieve under the Trump administration.

The Action Plan

Ezekial Emanuel“The United States has the requisite institutional capacity, leadership, and economic resources to lead a high-yield global health initiative that would spur economic and social development. Our proposal highlights the scale and urgency of the challenge and lays out a strategic guide path for achieving an ambitious set of health care goals for young women.” — Ezekiel Emanuel

1. Focus on 13 target countries.

The initiative will focus on adolescent girls and young women in 13 low-income countries with great needs and substantial existing U.S. investments in health and related development areas, through both direct bilateral programs and multilateral agencies. The suggested target countries include Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.9 Given the large populations of Nigeria and Bangladesh, we propose an initial effort to reach 20 percent of adolescent girls and young women in these two countries.

2. Build on existing U.S. investments.

The target population is diverse and includes sub-cohorts (e.g., in- and out-of-school, married and unmarried, pre- sexual debut and sexually active). Engaging with this group requires an approach that spans health and non-health sectors and special care in oversight, coordination, and delivery. Health providers will need to be trained and supervised to provide this population with quality and respectful care.10 Adolescent girls and young women and their communities will need to play an active role in the design and execution of programs.

The proposed approach takes full advantage of global health and related development investments in each country to target the special needs of adolescent girls and young women. That means systematically leveraging the DREAMS partnership (active in six of the target countries); its platforms offer exceptional opportunities for incorporating the initiative’s core health and development activities. It means tapping existing health investments in family planning and reproductive health; maternal, newborn, and child health; immunizations; and nutrition. It means taking full advantage of PEPFAR’s major capacities; investments in primary and secondary education; evolving work in food security; and programs to strengthen women’s empowerment, address gender-based violence, and prevent child marriage.

3. Spearhead new, ambitious goals in four key areas

  • Maternal and newborn health: Increase by 25 percent the proportion of adolescent girls accessing high-quality care (antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum) to address the health and social risks associated with adolescent pregnancy and childbirth, and improve newborn outcomes.
  • Click here to download chapter.

  • Family planning: Increase access to voluntary family planning with the goal of meeting 50 percent of the current unmet need for modern methods of family planning among 15- to 24-year-olds who desire to avoid, space, or delay pregnancy. Girls between the ages of 10 and 14 require information and education to build their awareness.
  • Click here to download chapter.

  • Nutrition: Reduce anemia by 25 percent among adolescent girls and young women by providing iron and folic acid supplementation, as well as nutrition education and counseling, to at least 75 percent of 10- to 24-year-olds.
  • Click here to download chapter.

  • Vaccination against HPV: Prevent cervical cancer by achieving 50–75 percent coverage of HPV vaccine among 9- to 14-year-old girls. This effort would seek to fully immunize 40 million girls.
  • Click here to download chapter.

Summary of Health Impacts of Proposed Initiative

  • Maternal and newborn health: 26,300 maternal and 493,000 newborn deaths averted.
  • Family planning: 5.4 million users reached, 1.3 million unintended pregnancies averted, and 3,600 maternal deaths averted.
  • Nutrition:25 percent reduction in anemia among adolescent girls and young women, contributing to the global goal of 265 million fewer women with anemia and 800,000 child deaths averted.
  • Vaccination against HPV: 235,000 lives saved and 650,000 cases of cervical cancer averted.

Each of these efforts addresses an area of acute, unmet need. Each creates a bridge to this difficult-to-reach population. Each builds on mounting international and country-level action, accumulating evidence, and programmatic knowledge.

The four efforts reinforce one another. Improved access to family planning, for instance, assists in averting teenage pregnancy, which also helps maintain a girl’s physical and cognitive growth and lowers the odds she will die while giving birth.11 The introduction of HPV vaccines creates an opportunity to reach adolescent girls with additional sexual and reproductive education to further reduce the risks of early pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).12 An investment in one area can stimulate investment in the others, while a platform designed for one program can potentially be used to advance the others.

4. Align U.S. government leadership and oversight.

  • The secretary of state should be responsible for the initiative’s overall strategic design and direction, including both shaping the U.S. budgetary process in Washington, D.C. and winning greater ownership by partner governments: e.g., encouraging legal and policy changes, along with higher budgetary commitments. The secretary should designate a deputy to track developments and convene an interagency steering committee comprising the executive branch departments and agencies with programs targeting adolescent girls and young women.
  • USAID: Operations and programmatic decisionmaking need to be centered at USAID, which implements most health, education, economic strengthening, and agriculture programs that impact adolescent girls and young women. A senior figure—the equivalent of a deputy administrator—should be charged with day-to-day leadership and management, including developing strategies, budgetary allocations, staffing, monitoring and evaluation, support to missions, testimony before Congress, liaison to the White House, and quarterly and annual reporting.
    The USAID deputy administrator and the secretary of state’s designated deputy should share responsibility for relations with Congress and coordination of high-level diplomacy with host governments, U.S. corporate leadership, foundations, and international and multilateral organizations, and other donors.

  • U.S. missions:In each of the 13 target countries, the chief of mission should be responsible for political leadership in-country and management of relations with the host government, including all formal collaborations with partner governments. A senior coordinator should be responsible for day-to-day in-country management and coordination across U.S. government programs.

5. Sustain high-level diplomacy.

Led by the secretary of state, the United States has to think a decade or more into the future, while putting in place adequate metrics; insisting upon innovation; bringing to scale partnerships with governments, the private sector, multilateral institutions, civil society, and others that are both dynamic and catalytic; and systematically building coalitions committed to meeting the needs of adolescent girls and young women. Success will take time and requires strong, resilient, and innovative partnerships and approaches.

Diplomacy will be integral to encouraging partner governments to adopt policies that address the needs of adolescent girls and young women and invest at high levels in new partnerships. Diplomacy can shape markets to lower product costs and influence political and business decisionmaking. It can encourage businesses to invest in health services and in research and development (R&D) of appropriate technologies. It can also enlist civil society groups and faith-based organizations, foundations, international organizations, and other donors into the initiative.

6. Put innovation at the center.

  • Invest in data. America leads the way in innovation, but that power is currently underleveraged in global health programs. A special effort is needed to better target and track unreached adolescent girls and young women and increase the impact of programs. In order for these proposed health interventions to succeed, better information is needed: e.g. data disaggregated by sex, age, marital status, and economic standing. Deeper knowledge is also needed in a number of key areas: e.g., how best to address gender-based violence, change norms around harmful practices such as early marriage, and how best to engage boys and men.13 This requires a significant investment in research to accelerate development of standard indicators and understanding of adolescent health outputs and outcomes. We are at a moment where these tools are becoming more available.
  • Spur research and development. Many promising technologies and innovative approaches can have major impact, specific to the needs of adolescent girls and young women, in maternal and newborn health, family planning, nutrition, and HPV vaccines.14 Digital health solutions, such as handheld devices and electronic reporting systems, have the potential to address the needs of adolescent girls and young women and significantly improve their health outcomes in low-resource settings. Many of these solutions will be generated through partnerships with the private sector.
    To speed products from development to delivery, the secretary of state should create a high-level expert panel to advise on technological opportunities and public-private partnerships. USAID should create a dedicated mechanism to provide finances and technical expertise to emerging innovators in the 13 target countries.
  • Incentivize integration. In their country planning, U.S. missions should be systematically incentivized to combine programs in education, economic empowerment, gender-based violence, food security and reducing child marriage with their core health interventions, along with the operational research described above. An Integration Fund should be established at USAID that supports creative program alignments through results-based financing, founded on the outstanding quality of country plans that seek to demonstrate progress in achieving higher cost effectiveness and improved health outcomes.
  • Expand the role of the private sector. The U.S. country teams in the 13 target countries should partner with the local private health sector to expand access to high-quality family planning and maternal health services to adolescent girls and young women. The U.S. should draw on the private sector’s expertise, investment capacity, and special knowledge of local customs and market conditions.
    The Trump administration and Congress should support legislative action that authorizes and funds matching resources for public-private partnerships, including through innovative financing mechanisms15 that work to meet the specific needs of adolescent girls and young women.16

Chris Elias“Clearing the barriers that keep adolescent girls and young women from reaching their full potential cannot be addressed by one sector alone. Developing smart, multisectoral partnerships will give us the greatest chance to achieve our bold ambitions to improve the lives of adolescent girls and young women around the world.” — Christopher Elias

7. Mobilize robust financing from multiple sources.

The aggregate, new additional cost of the proposed initiative for adolescent girls and young women is approximately $634 million, comprised of the estimated annual cost of $176 million for maternal and newborn health, $144 million for family planning and reproductive health, $22 million for nutrition and nutrition-focused research, and $105 million for vaccination against HPV. It also includes $15 million for data and metrics, $25 million for innovation, and $100 million per year to add additional programs such as education, reward outstanding integrated country plans, and advance operational research, all financed through a results-based approach. Detailed cost analyses for each of these efforts follow this synopsis.

Susan Collins“Promoting the health of women and girls is one of the most effective ways to save lives and protect families in developing countries. If we succeed, it would also lead to more stable societies and improve our own national security, which are goals shared by Republicans and Democrats alike. As we continue to work with the private sector, nonprofits, the faith community, partner countries, and others in implementing this proposal, it is my hope that this bipartisan proposal will be embraced by policymakers on both sides of the aisle.” — Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)

To be effective, the initiative will need guaranteed resources for at least the duration of the new administration, 2017 through 2021, with the expectation that funding will extend through 2025.

There are different options for phasing this initiative and for bringing adequate resources to bear. The Trump administration, in concert with Congress, will be responsible for determining the most appropriate approach.

Mobilizing resources and covering the additional costs of this initiative rests on four elements.

  • Leverage existing U.S. bilateral investments. The 13 target countries were selected, in part, because they already feature ongoing U.S. investments in family planning, maternal and child survival, immunizations, and nutrition, along with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and/or malaria. A first step is to map how to build on current programs to prioritize outreach to adolescent girls and young women by detailing what programmatic capacities and resources can be tapped, and mapping U.S. country-level investments by program and site. The DREAMS partnership, funded through PEPFAR at an initial level of $385 million, is active in 6 of the 13 target countries, and could contribute to the program goals.17
  • Leverage multilateral agencies, particularly in those areas where we are confident that greater U.S. commitments will bring other donor dollars to the table. At present, all 13 countries remain eligible for support from Gavi.18 As Gavi accelerates access to the HPV vaccine, the United States can contribute to this effort confident that other donors will help to cover the remaining costs.19 TThe World Bank’s Global Financing Facility has considerable potential to incentivize partner countries to invest International Development Association (IDA) resources.20 UN agencies, including UNICEF, UNAIDS, and UNFPA have a major role to play across most of these programmatic areas. The Global Fund, which invests in each of the 13 countries, can potentially further align its investments to more directly and reliably benefit adolescent girls and young women.
  • Leverage industry and foundation partners. There are considerable opportunities to bring to scale select public-private partnerships— DREAMS; Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon; Saving Mothers, Giving Life—that are already hard at work in many of the activities recommended by the Task Force.
  • Increase U.S. bilateral investments across all four programmatic areas (maternal and child health, family planning and reproductive health, nutrition, and immunizations). This will require careful sustained consultations with Congress, in the context of the overall changes the Trump administration will seek in the federal budget and within the constraints of the Budget Control Act.

U.S. Investments in 13 Target Countries

Michael Gerson“Confronting the challenges of adolescent girls and young women would leverage large gains in nearly every other field of health and economic development. It is impossible, for example, to take the next vital steps in HIV/AIDS prevention without empowering adolescent girls—helping them find more knowledge, skills, and influence over their own lives and futures. This has been, and should be, an entirely bipartisan matter. The Task Force report not only describes an urgent need, it provides a rigorous, detailed, costed-out policy framework to address that need. If the Trump administration pursues this type of initiative, it will find strong support across the ideological spectrum, including from critics on other matters. And such an initiative could unite members of Congress in an important shared mission at a time when unity of national purpose is all too rare. The implementation of these proposals would save the lives of countless mothers and newborns, reduce the risk of cervical cancer, and prevent many abortions. For myself, I regard this as a pro-life cause.” — Michael Gerson

We recognize that this proposed initiative is exceedingly ambitious and complex. Its launch by the Trump administration in concert with Congress could take a variety of forms under different scenarios. But whichever path is chosen to bring this initiative to life, it will require sustained high-level political will, matched by the support and good faith of the many other actors who will play critical roles. The sections that follow provide a deeper look at the four priority programmatic areas, governance and implementation, as well as extensive detail on costing and the selection of target countries

Analysis In The Forex Market

Anticipation in forex trading is generally done by way of analysis. There are several ways and categories in the analysis. However, the ultimate goal is to use the analysis to identify the best opportunities in trading. In this article, we will see three kinds of forex analysis and how we will learn more by way of learning from the experts that are DWHM. You can try each area to determine which of the three kinds of forex analysis or combination, which if it can be used well in accordance with your personality. The three kinds of forex analysis are fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and market sentiment analysis. The focus of fundamental analysis in the forex market is the interest rate of a central bank. However, in practice, other fundamental factors are also taken into accounts such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, manufacturing business climate, and other data summarizing economic activity within a country. It is not important whether the release of a fundamental data is good or disappointing. Noteworthy is how it affects the country’s interest rate prospects.

If you analyze the release of a data, keep looking at its effect on interest rate movements. If there is a risk appetite or a tendency to take risks, then investors will enter, especially when interest rates are high. This also means there is an influx of new investment into the country. Conversely, when there is a risk aversion or a risk-averse tendency, investors run their money into safe-haven currencies such as the Japanese Yen and Swiss franc. Technical analysis includes forms of price movement patterns to determine the highest probability of entry and exit. Because of its ease of interpretation and application, technical analysis is always used by almost all forex traders.

Since the forex market is the largest of its money and most liquid turns, price movements in trading charts generally signal demand and supply levels, both visible and hidden (hidden levels). What is clear is, for example, the support and resistance levels, and to see hidden levels of traders using technical indicators that from time to time more and more types. By applying technical indicators, trading signals will be easy to read and make trading easier.

How to Avoid Photo Scanning Mistakes

Finding the right photo scanner can be a tough task. You may also recognize it as the challenge. This can be the reason for doing an online research on When you have the scanning device, can you really ensure that you are able to operate it and will get the best quality scanning result? To avoid making the mistakes during scanning your photos, it will be best to follow these tips.

1. Crop the preview image

Many individuals commit the error of not trimming the photograph before they hit the sweep catch. This will make a white foundation show up on all sides of the photograph, bringing about a lower quality output of the real photograph.

2. Choose the right resolution

The resolution is another important thing to consider, especially if you expect a good quality result from scanning. Consider this thing can also help you avoid making the mistake. Before trying to operate your photo scanner, make sure first you already deal with the photo resolution you will scan. If you don’t understand how to do so, then you must ask someone to help you. Generally, you can learn how to scan photo by your own by reviewing or reading articles online or buying the related book.

3. Avoid using correction effects while scanning the photos

While checking certain impacts like the unsharp veil or shading amendment may appear like help, they may exacerbate your photographs look. Simply filter your picture with its unique look. At that point, a short time later, endeavor to make any redresses in an illustrations programming program which offers substantially more control.

Knowing how to scan photos is also important to know, so you can operate the scanner without making the issue, mistakes or even damage it while you just bought it.

Miniconf uses iShopShape for VM and e-Commerce

Italy based Miniconf is the leading company in children’s wear through its brands Sarabanda, Dodipetto and iDO. By carefully listening to their customers and the use of advanced technologies both in the multi-channel distribution and in logistics, Miniconf established its position within the young fashion market.

In the year 2012 Miniconf decided to streamline both its e-commerce and retail market channels.  To achieve these goals, its management team started a thorough vendor selection process. After research of the fashion technology market, Miniconf decided to cooperate with iShopShape and to implement its innovative technology.

The decision was made to implement both StyleShoots (the ultimate photostudio solution) as well as Mockshop (retail planning and Visual Merchandising solution).

First step was to implement StyleShoots to speed up the photo capturing process of products. StyleShoots was installed and after a few days, captured images were already online.

Immediately after this, Miniconf started the implementation of Mockshop to streamline the entire process of Visual Merchandising, eliminating all the manual steps that make the process difficult, expensive and sometimes ineffective.

For the two key players within the Miniconf Retail Management, Guillaume Lemaire and Andrea Vannini; the main objective of this project was to have full control of all visual operations without being at the mercy of the unexpected. Next to that the goal was to have easy access to all the information necessary to quickly take difficult and strategic decisions. We are proud to mention that both of the objectives are achieved in a very short period.

There's Only a 50% Chance I'm Not Facedown in a Pile of Mini Donuts Right Now

Overdramatic announcement time!

Instead of continuing to half-ass around here, I'm taking a sabbatical from the blog to work on my book. Full-assed. Now that Breaking Bad has ended, I feel I have nothing left to live for can fully commit.

So it's like... a blah-battical. That sounds really important and not at all made up.

I thought about not even saying anything, but then I thought, rather than disappear for a few months and have you (and by "you" I mean you, mom) worry that I finally decamped to the Tootsie Roll turd yurt I've been threatening to build between the garbage cans outside of Clive Owen's pied-a-terre, I wanted to let you know the deal.

But! I'm not going to stop writing columns and updates and pie charts about my secret shames. So, please, if you aren't already, follow me on:

Twitter, and

... until I build back enough strength in my upper arms to lift myself out of the Entenmann's box.

Thank you for your patience, and I LOVE YOU. (And by "you," I mean Internet strangers.)

(Fine, and also you, mom.)

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

Today my little man turns two. It's crazy how fast it goes; every cliché about time is true. As Vince Vaughn so famously slurred in Swingers, our little baby's all growns up! (And yet I still only find time to shower every other day, and leave the house 99% of the time dressed like a third-grader on a camping trip. What am I doing wrong?)

But no, seriously, what happened?
It feels like just yesterday I waddled into a bar called "Last Exit," thirty-nine weeks pregnant and unable to appreciate the irony, not yet knowing that less than twenty-four hours later I would be wearing a mesh diaper and staring down into the red, pouty face of the new center of my universe.

There's so much I could write about Sam, but the very fact that he's growing more and more every day into his own funny, charming, smart, curious and fabulous little person makes me feel like I shouldn't. It's bad enough that my Observer column is all about parenting (although I try to make it about my struggles, not Sam's), so I've been trying to steer clear of mom content here. While I know that Sam is still safely in neutral territory--not too many people would accuse me of exploiting him or invading his privacy at this age--I still worry about the ethical implications of telling his story in my writing.

Sidebar: I hate it when people answer questions no one asked them. Like, articles that say "WHY I'M NOT GOING BACK TO CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN." It's like, OK, don't go. Leave all of that delicious, lard-massaged flatbread for me, who cares? You might be feeling that way now. So don't write about your kid, then, and shut up about it. TELL ME ABOUT CLAIRE DANES' EMMY CLEAVAGE DISASTER INSTEAD. But speaking of Angela Chase, I'm having some major, inner monologue voice-over level introspection about this topic, and I need to word vomit for a minute before I move on. So please bear with me.

But no, seriously, what happened?
Parents draw their own boundaries when it comes to putting their kids online, and I don't think it's my place to say what's right or wrong for someone else. I also completely understand the impulse to share with abandon. It seems unrealistic, as some writers have didactically argued, to NEVER post photos of kids, or mention them by name; for better or worse, we live on the internet now, and sites like Facebook and Instagram are the way we connect. They're the new one-hour photo, a way for out-of-state grandparents to get to see their grandkids grow. Blogs are the new baby books. That said, for me--now that my baby isn't really a baby anymore, and is starting to form his own thoughts, say his own things, and exhibit the very grown-up human feelings of caution and embarrassment, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable putting details about his life, however small and seemingly insignificant, out into the Internet ether. I want him to grow up with as much of a digital clean slate as I can give him. I mean, he'll have to suffer the consequences of my oversharing about myself no matter what, so I might as well spare him the indignity of having me overshare about him. (Plus, over the course of his newborn months, I probably already did enough damage to keep a future therapist busy for at least a year.)

So, Sam, on your big boy birthday, as you officially graduate into toddlerhood, my gift to you is that I'm keeping you to myself (don't worry, I also got you a motorized Fisher Price tool set and Mr. Potato Head, I know it's not just the thought that counts). I desperately want to tell the world how wonderful you are, but I'll try to let you show them instead, later on, after I've had the chance to teach you as best I can how to be a semi-functioning human. (Cliff Notes: Do as I say, not as I do.) I'll stop answering questions no one asks about me, and I'll definitely stop answering questions no one's asked about you.

Also I will try to think of your middle-school self and not write the word "vagina" so often.

Except for that time. Sorry.

Love, Mama

P.S. Future middle-schoolers of Brooklyn, for the record, I'm not Sam's mom, forget everything I wrote. We don't even have the same last name, duh. I'm his... cool older cousin. From France.

An Alternative Glossary of Blog Comments

I read a lot of blogs, most of which are written by women in their 30s and 40s, and almost all of which are a mixture of humor and sincere, if navel-gazing, attempts at profundity (uh, sound familiar?).

Anyway, while all of these blogs, and their writers, are very different, I've been noticing lately that the comment sections can get redundant. So I humbly offer the following alternatives for paying homage to your favorite bloggers:

What you want to express: Agreement
The standard comment: THIS.
The unexpected comment: Someone take me to Kinkos, 'cause I need to make a XEROX!

This is both saucy and pleasantly retro. Give yourself a high-five.

What you want to express: Amusement
The standard comment: LOL!!!
The unexpected comment:  CUNT!!!

"Cracking Up, Nice Touch!" Obviously.

What you want to express: Empathy
The standard comment: ((((Hugs))))
The unexpected comment:  ( ( )  ← Butt

Because crude renderings of butts make people laugh, and laughter improves mood. Like a hug, but with a crack. So, better.

What you want to express: Unbearable sadness
The standard comment: Tears!
The unexpected comment: Tears... of blood.

Anyone can make regular tears, and besides, they're probably not really crying anyway. If you want to stand out, you've got to kick it up a notch, Emeril-style. Haemolacria, bitches. BAM! Look it up.

What you want to express: Pride/Idolization
The standard comment: You're a rockstar!!!!
The unexpected comment: You're a prosthodonist!

Rock stars are usually unstable egomaniacs with substance abuse problems. Is this really the parallel you want to make to commend someone on potty-training their two year-old? A prosthodontist--someone who makes dentures and replacement teeth for people like Keith Richards (incidentally, a ROCKSTAR)--is a rare, highly-skilled, and well-compensated professional. You make the call. I'll wait.

You Can't Spell "Fashion Ad" without "Sad Naif Ho"

In fact, sad naif ho is an anagram of "fashion ad." Just as carnal emu (ha!) is an anagram of "Una LaMarche." So, you know... meaningful.

Now, not all naifs are unhappy, and most probably aren't particulary hoey (owing to their naïveté), but I would argue that most fashion ads are hopelessly pretentious and dumb, regardless of how talented the designer or how beautiful the clothes. In fact, when not spending my days frantically typing proper names into anagram servers (Justin Bieber = urine bib jets, just FYI, for a cocktail party conversation starter), I like to flip through September fashion magazines and make up back stories for the models. It's kind of like the intro voiceover for Law & Order (RIP):

In the fashion advertising system, the models are presented in two separate yet equally important groups. The models who look constipated while jumping for no reason and the models who look slightly too bored to kill you, even though that is what they clearly want in their heart of hearts despite the obstacles presented by their asymmetrical peep-toe moon boots. These are their stories.

Velveteen felt out of focus. She'd blacked out again, and had that color-blind dream about Prince. It had all been so lovely, and yet... why was she wearing her Ben Wa balls as buttons?

Lulu wasn't sure what had happened in that car wash. She was only certain that her muff would never be the same.

It wasn't until she'd arrived at the party that the Quaaludes wore off and Inez realized with woozy alarm that instead of stashing her tampons in her shoe purse, she'd wedged them into her actual shoes.

In retrospect, Babette regretted ordering the Super Loaded Nachos.

Sybil took a good look at herselves as she munched on what she hoped was an acceptable iron supplement. When? she seethed into the mirror. When would Fresh Direct arrive?

Snap, Crackle, and Pop knew that it would be hard transitioning into their new drag life. After all, so many people had pigeonholed them as elves. But they had $50,000 dollars of plastic surgery and a solid Adele number that would soon prove everyone wrong.

Gigi leaned back against the cliff face and rolled her eyes dramatically at her sherpa. Um, YES, she knew she wasn't wearing pants. And what of it? Like she would ever take fashion advice from someone in head to toe Land's End.

"Oh snaps!" Persephone realized mid-leap, as her knees knocked together like the the rattle of an ancient gong. "No one gets our Buckwheat costumes!" "I know!" laughed Hortense. "Someone just asked me if I was supposed to be Erykah Badu struck by lightning." "Ugh, that is so racist," sighed Peresphone. "Ugh, totes!" Hortense agreed.

Mackenzie laughed gaily at Lulu's ridiculous ankle socks, unaware that the feeling was entirely mutual.

Yes, sure, the Chinese throwing star hurt a little, but goddamit, Mimi was going to pick up that fallen Skittle if it was the last thing she ever did.

Almost as soon as she stepped out into the snow drifts of the frozen tundra, Marlo realized that the tuxedo pants had been a poor choice. The driving gloves and suede moccasins were doing her no favors, either. The cloak, too, while evocative of a certain devil-may-care glamour, was failing to shield her tender nipples and delicate elbows from the arctic freeze.

But the bag... the bag was fucking tight. And so she soldiered on.

Top 10 Pop Culture Teachers of All Time* (*Incredibly Subjective, Do Not Hate)

One of the things I've always wanted is a redemptive story of the teacher who changed my life. In my fantasy (read: movie version), said teacher would look like Mark Harmon in Summer School from the neck up, but with the hair and wardrobe of Billy Crudup from Almost Famous (read: smelly-looking rawhide jacket; chest hair-revealing batik v-neck; tight jeans; boots). He would quote Rumi and take us on field trips to look at rotting whale carcasses on the beach so that we could better feel our feelings. Maude Apatow would play me.

But I never had that. Don't get me wrong, most of my teachers were great at their jobs (what up, Ms. Jawanda! You complete me!), and the ones who weren't so great succeeded, at least, in not totally scarring me, with the exception of my elementary school gym teacher, Mr. Hyman (the cruelest part is that I WAS TOO YOUNG TO KNOW IT WAS FUNNY*), whose sudden-death basketball tournament still haunts my dreams.

*I also had a teacher named Ms. Klitnick. Same school. True story.

So I'm left to worship the all-time great teachers I've had courtesy of film and television. Choosing my top ten was hard, so I had to throw down some basic rules:

1. They have to be traditional school teachers, i.e. no Mr. Miyagi or Yoda-style spiritual guides, no administrators à la Mrs. Teasley from 90210 or Principal Skinner, and no impostors like Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic role as Detective John Kimble in Kindergarten Cop. Sads, I know.

2. No teachers who headline their own show or movie. They have to be scene-stealing supporting players. Sorry Mr. Kotter, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Holland, Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Races Minds, and my personal dreamboat Mark Harmon.

3. No one who helped Haley Joel Osment pay it forward (you know who you are).

4. No teachers from books. Because, you know, ugh, PAGE WORDS. (My teachers are so proud of me.)

Who does that leave? My all-stars. To wit:

1. MR. HAND (Ray Walston), American History, Fast Times at Ridgemont High

OK, so this severe disciplinarian (some might say... dick) loses points for torturing Sean Penn’s completely lovable Jeff Spicoli, but if you don’t secretly love the curmudgeonly Mr. Hand, you people must be on dope.

2. MS. KRABAPPEL (Marcia Wallace), 4th Grade, The Simpsons

World-weary, disgruntled, drunk, and perpetually horny, Edna Flanders (née Krabappel) is the yellow-skinned gold standard for bad teachers.

3. COACH CUTLIP (Robert Picardo), Gym, The Wonder Years

So, I guess I really have a thing for deeply unhappy bullies. Or I just really enjoy pointing out that Coach Cutlip led a double life as a sexy, spray-tanned cowboy in Innerspace:

4. MR. KATIMSKI (Jeff Perry), English and Drama Club, My So-Called Life

The socially awkward, sweater-vested Mr. Katimsky may not have been able to get Ricky’s name right, but in a few short episodes he proved that his heart was as big as the inexplicable pauses he took between words.

5. MR. KEATING (Robin Williams), English, Dead Poet's Society*

O Captain! My captain! The original manic hippie man-child, Mr. Keating ripped books, climbed desks, shunned rules, and inspired his students to live life to the fullest, to mixed results (SPOILER ALERT: points off for Neil's suicide). He probably needs to be medicated, but damn if he wasn’t fun.

*I know it seems like I'm breaking my second rule here, but even though he's the biggest star in the movie, he's not the protagonist. So I'm including him on a technicality.

6. MR. COULSON (Michael Vartan), English, Never Been Kissed

P.S. Are pop culture English teachers every anything but angels sent straight from heaven? How does analyzing Shakespeare correlate to innate decency and beautiful hair? Discuss.

7. MR. JELLINECK (Paul Dinello), Art, Strangers With Candy

An authority figure "with the mind of a child," prone to turtleneck sweaters, secret gay liaisons with Stephen Colbert, and disfiguring injuries, Mr. Jellineck has the soul of an artist and the scalp of Tony Manero.

8. ECONOMICS TEACHER (Ben Stein), Self-explanatory, Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Not the most creative choice, maybe, but arguably the most memorable. I wish I could repeat this guy’s name over and over again in a miserable nasal monotone, but the most iconic teacher in film history doesn’t have one! Oh, well. At least we’ll always have the--anyone? Anyone?--Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act.

9. MR. WHITE (Bryan Cranston), Chemistry, Breaking Bad

Say what you will, but the man knows his chemistry. Am I right, Pinkman?

10. PROFESSOR ROSS GELLER (David Schwimmer), Paleontology, Friends

I'm not gonna lie, this was a close one between Dr. Geller and How I Met Your Mother's Ted Theodore Mosby, but A) I'm breaking my second rule again (oops) ; and B) the man thought of Jurassic Park before Michael Crighton. AUTOMATIC A.

Ugh, I'm already regretting narrowing this list to ten. I could do another list with just guidance counselors. Or principals! Or janitors!

But that's homework for another day. Right now I'm working on getting this guy up to ten:

Albatros DI 410/16

There is some confusion about what Voß' first scout plane looked like. Most sources say it was an Albatros DII but then give the description of a famous Albatros DI. It is believed the serial number was DI or DII 410/16. Most sources claim it to be an Alb DII with a "totenkopf" symbol on the fuselage side and an overall light olive paint scheme. A plane matching this description was flown by the Crown Prince of Prussia whenever he flew with Jasta II. Some people surmise the two men may have shared mounts.

One problem with any theory regarding the plane is this: Sources say that Voß flew a DII and the Corwn Prince was shot down in a DI. This leaves us with at least three theories. Either Voß actually flew a DI and this was confused as a DII or he flew a DII that was painted similarly to the Crown Prince's. Or, Voszlig; flew an entirely dfferent plane that looked nothing like the death plane of the Crown Prince. Currently we only have theories on what his first scout plane looked like.

The photo below is that of the "death plane" of Crown Prince Friedrich Carl of Prussia. The plane has had the serial number removed or overpainted with a light green paint. It is uncertain if the serial number was DI 410/16. The plane may have been assigned to Werner Voß, as it fits the general description of the machine assigned to him when he first arrived at Jasta 2. Prince Carl was not actually assigned to Jasta 2 but liked to go "hunting" with them. He may have borrowed this plane from Voß.

African ImagiNation 20mm project.

Over the Christmas break I decided that I could not face painting Zulus which had been my plan. I felt a bit bored painting 28mm Humans and wanted to do something different.

In the back of my mind I had wanted to do an AK47 type project in 15mm but I had sold all my painted and unpainted Soviets and decided that 20mm would work just as well. I have a few building that would work in both 15 or 20mm for Airfield buildings or factories, and some tanks that are excess for my WW2 collection. So did a repaint on a few of them plus a few conversions of AA vehicles for a UN unit. The game of Bolt Action that I had played in 20mm convinced me of the usefulness of those rules for this project.

I thought that this would be a cheap project but have spent heaps on Soviet Vehicles and Aircraft plus some more buildings. I also bought a large amount of figures from Elheim.

The premise is that the Congo Conflict has escalated with other Nations claiming land and or sending ex WW2 Tanks and equipment in support of either side. First completed Unit is a Belgium Tank Unit with SP Artillery support.

Almost complete are some Indian UN AA vehicles. I need to find some Letroset or similar UN letters to finish them off. I am planing on remounting the Quad mount and replacing the gun with a Searchlight as I think it looks too ungainly mounted like that.

Mounted and dismounted Archers.

I just finished eight dismounted Archers which are supposed to be the foot versions of the Mounted Merry Men I completed a few weeks ago. They could be used as separate units in some games depending on the scenario. I also put some Decals on the shields just to complete the vision I had in my mind. All the figures are second hand GW models which had to be stripped.

A small update on my Future Wars experiments.

I have had a bit of a play using my Urban Terrain and found a few surprises that I had not expected. I have played around six turns so far and think I need to find a way to get my Walkers into combat a bit quicker as they move at six inches and cannot run. (They are armed with two Flame Throwers so are ideal for taking out Spawn points).

As the terrain offered more blind spots, the Zombies were able to sneak up on some Humans and killed two from the Sky Clad Nuns unit and two from Elvis's Show Girls unit.

Since I was allowing the Zombies to climb if the terrain seemed suitable, these four managed to surprise and kill these two Nuns. On the other side of the road a group of Zombies managed to charge around a blind corner and kill two Showgirls guarding a door. One Zombie managed to gain entry into the building but was then shot.

I am thinking of a way for Zombies to breakdown secured doors, but that may be over thinking things and not really worth the effort!

This Squad is guarding a spawn point quite effectively. I decided that an A.T weapon or Flame thrower can destroy a Spawn point on a casualty roll of a 6. This team has failed to destroy the point with their Flame Thrower after several attempts, but an A.T team destroyed another with a single shot.

This Spawn point produced all these Zombies in one turn which was then cleansed in a single round of shooting.

Top Gear inspired sign writing.
The Coyote Bar is a rocking (Zombie style).

This group killed the Showgirls.

Some Space Monkeys I just painted.

Side Effects of Enough

Enough.  It sounds like something my parents would say to my sister and I as we were driving down the road to our grandparents house.  Or something Mrs. Wow says to me as I’m trying to make her laugh by dancing in my speedo.  I never really put much thought into what that really meant until recently.  But really applying this to our life might actually help us understand where we are.

Let’s Play Pretend

We just graduated from college.  We’re moving to a new city.  There’s a nice new one bedroom condo, so we purchase it.  We also just got a fancy new job.  And with that comes a fancy new Honda.  Things are going swimmingly and we continue on our path.  We’re constantly going out with friends enjoying all the best and newest restaurants.

This continues and our careers are progressing.  So, we decide that it’s time to trade in our condo and move into a house.  We also just got a big raise, so we upgrade to an Acura.  Our family grows, and as such we need all these new things to take care of Baby Waffles.  We have to upgrade our clothes to keep up with the ever evolving styles and trends.

A few years pass and it’s time to move out of the crappy little neighborhood into the gated community.  We also need a new fancy SUV, so we upgrade.  Our kids toys are just not the latest and newest, can’t have that.  So, we upgrade those as well.

Anyone Else See A Trend?

I own A, but need to upgrade to B.  Once I have B, I need to upgrade to C.  Now owning C, I need to upgrade to D.  Seems like it’s a never ending loop, an infinite loop, if you will…

Hmm, I never seem to get anywhere.

We have some friends that bought their house, yet what were they doing last weekend?  Looking at new bigger houses.  Why?  There’s 3 of them, and they already own a 4 bedroom house.  I guess if that’s what you’re into.

Stop The Train

This on going train of consumption is running away with everyone’s life.  You have to make an effort to stop it.  It’s not just going to stop by itself.  Does that mean that we don’t want to get new things, or that we don’t upgrade when we need to?  No, of course not.

We just got a late model used car so that Mrs. Wow could be more comfortable as she drives all over.  But it does mean that we are attempting to break the chain, we’re making use of what we have.  We’re trying to keep old things around much longer than we used to.  So yes, Stop That Train, I Wanna Get Off!! (and Yes, that’s a link to a b-side Vanilla Ice video, and yes, it’s fantastically early 90’s).

Is There Anything Missing?

As I sit here writing in our little house with some things scattered around on my desk and around the room.  I can’t help but think, I have quite a lot.  I have a 15 year old car, that runs fine, and I still enjoy driving.  We have a great house in a great area, our neighbors could be nicer, or worse I guess, we don’t know them at all.  (We’ve lived here for over a year and talked to our neighbors maybe 4 times max, weird, huh?  We don’t exactly live on a huge ranch in Kansas.)

I have clothes, I have food to eat, a car, a motorcycle, two bikes (one road, one cruiser), too many shoes, according to my wife.  We have laundry in our place, we each have caring and great families (as much as they drive us nuts sometimes).  We have each other, we have our health.  We have our friends and this blogging community that are rapidly crossing to the friend territory.  We get to travel and visit people from all over the world.

Does it sound like anything is missing there? That’s a long list of stuff, and I could keep going.  Is there anything else that I really need?  I’m completely content.  It’s kind of a weird feeling.

Interesting Side Effects

We’re not quite at the point where we can fully hang it up.  We have a little while longer, so we’ll keep at it.  But it’s an interesting phenomenon to see some of our friends pushing and beating themselves up, (literally, a good friend of mine has huge health issues caused by stress from work, and they have two young kids) and sit there and think to yourself:

I don’t need that.  I have enough.

I will say this is one of the more unexpected side effects of really diving into this FIRE mindset.  We’ve eliminated a lot of the wants.  We’ve become happier with and more thankful for what we currently have.  It was never really on purpose, it just kind of happened.

We’ve changed.  We used to sit in front of the TV to each dinner, now every night we make it a point to eat at the table, and put away the gadgets and gizmos.  This is good, and wasn’t really expected.  We talk to each other, we enjoy each other’s company.  We go for walks together and love the simple entertainment of walking up the street with a beer or wine and watching in amazement as one of the world’s busiest airports thrives before our eyes.

Pretty Amazing to Watch. It’s better than TV!

We have friends over for dinner parties.  We get up and work out together, we visit friends and enjoy our conversations more, they’re deeper than “How was work?”.

That’s not to say that we constantly fart rainbows, but it is to say that we are pretty content with where we are.  And it’s a pleasant change that I don’t think either of us anticipated when we started down this path.

Any side effects you haven’t expected along this journey?  Good or Bad?  Have you come to the point where enough is well… enough?

    Isn’t it funny how the “wants” stop jumping into your brain as much when you’re pursuing FIRE? It’s all about the challenging time of teaching yourself not to want luxuries in the first place, which is where I think a lot of people get stuck.

    Ah the infinite loop. I knew better and still emotions got the best of me. Buying a million dollar home. This was a mistake and we are now 9 months into it. Maybe I will decide to sell it in 2 years if it has appreciated, but I am stuck in that loop for now.

    As for cars, we are good there. No consumer debt either (well other than that mortgage- the biggest consumer product). So we are chilling. I am amazed at how many people are constantly saying they should upgrade when their lives are just great

    I came at the enough from the other angle of trying to slow down and recognize my efforts are good enough for now.

    Although, I will say it takes a lot of gumption to tell society at large “No, I don’t need a new car or bigger house, I have what I need.” The world is constantly screaming at you to buy more stuff and it’s our job to tell society to F off!

      It definitely takes a spine to stand up to nearly everyone. But luckily there are people around here that believe the same thing. It’s just important to maintain that mindset.

      Ahh yes, I remember that post. Very good stuff, compare yourself to you. There is no way to know what other people are going through. There’s always more to the story.

  • Tonya@Budget and the Beach July 19, 2017 at 12:30 pm

    I pretty much have everything I NEED but perhaps not everything I WANT…but before I sound like a diva…I think it breaks down to stuff like a new MAC. I could use my old one just fine, yet it does suck up a lot of extra time rendering and just moving really slowly. No one is holding a gun to my head to make videos, but having a GoPro really helps with making cool looking videos. I think that’s where my need/wants gets a little tricky. Sort of like investing in yourself….

    • Mr WoW July 19, 2017 at 12:50 pm

      Well… there’s a certain amount of balance in there. But given that you fully understand the priorities, and know that getting one means that you can’t get the other. That’s fine. Wants & needs is definitely a tricky thing to balance. But, the fact is that you need to be content and thankful with what you have. Then you appreciate all the new things as well!

  • Mr. Need2save July 24, 2017 at 7:10 pm

    I definitely still have a few weak spots. I’m an engineer, so I like gadgets. Even my kids ask – how many computers do you need Dad? Vehicles have been another weakness, but I’m trying to do better (oops, I did just buy that new motorcycle a few months ago!)

    Our income is pretty high and some lifestyle creep has found its way in. But overall, we have more than enough and are trying to find the right balance between needs and wants.

    • Mr WoW July 24, 2017 at 8:45 pm

      Weak spots aren’t the end of the world, so long as they are identified and acknowledged. We have our weaknesses. We certainly aren’t trading in the restaurants any time soon, and we definitely travel more than we probably should. But that stuff makes us happy. Besides… Steve McQueen is a bad ass… who doesn’t want to ride a bike like him? You will never hear any flak from me about anything Triumph!

      Balance is the key. And really for us the enlightening part was that these other side effects found their way in. Completely unexpected things. And it’s good, we’re enjoying it.

Why is there no active discussion on WAGN yet there is still activity on GitHub? Has the development discussion moved to another forum?

One site,, is currently driving almost all new development on the Wagn platform (which will soon be renamed to "Decko"). Even within the WikiRate project, there are several different areas of discussion; the dev team is using Slack and Pivotal Tracker, the community creates tickets directly on the site itself, the consortium adds still other concerns on a separate wagn site...

Clearly we need to make all of this more inclusive and transparent (while still allowing collaborators to carry on private conversations when appropriate), and we expect to get more serious about solving the problem soon. (or, soon,, will almost certainly be part of whatever scheme we come up with. Thanks for the reminder that this matter really needs attention soon.
