“Can we talk?” Joan Rivers always asked audiences, and by this she meant, Can I talk about life’s biases and prejudices–mine? For more than half a century, first as a pioneering stand-up comedian, then as a defiant survivor, she spoke skewed truth to power and, in doing so, became her own potentate and garishly fossilized icon. She could have been a ranting bag lady, if the lady were as funny as she was rude and the bag was from Gucci.

Rivers, who died Sept. 4 at 81 in New York City after complications from throat surgery, created her look and legend as much as plastic surgeon Steven Hoefflin did. She made fun of herself–her homeliness as a child, her flat chest, those layers of cosmetic archaeology–and everyone else, from Bo Derek to Tom Cruise. “I succeeded,” she said, “by saying what everyone else is thinking.” Everyone else, that is, with a wicked mind and an agile tongue.

Born Joan Alexandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, she got her big break on Feb. 17, 1965, when she first appeared with Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. For Rivers, every challenger, including the younger female comics, deserved to be whupped in a cage match. “They all come up to me and say, ‘Without you, I couldn’t be here, the barriers you broke down.’ I say, ‘Get the f-ck away from me. I still could take every one of you with one hand behind my back. Outta here. Talk like that at my funeral, but not till then.'”

Let the eulogies from her admirers and victims begin now. Let them speak of her caustic wit, her acute timing and her understanding that comedy at its sharpest is not an anesthetic but a defibrillator. If Joan Rivers can no longer talk, she deserves to be talked about forever.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Back in October of 2010 I was scheduled to attend a real estate investing workshop in Denver, Colorado for a few days, and I thought that would be the perfect opportunity to make a long awaited trip to see Rocky Mountain National Park after my workshop. Now the fall weather in the intermountain west can yield everything from gorgeous sunny, crisp days to blinding snowstorms. And the higher the elevation is the more likely you’ll get the latter.

I wasn’t really too worried as I had my Jeep Wrangler Sahara, so I decided to make that drive to Colorado. I took Interstate 80 across southern Wyoming from Salt Lake City; the weather on the drive out was spectacular – clear, cool and sunny. In fact, is was one of the very few times that I had been through Rawlings, Wyoming when the wind wasn’t howling, and it wasn’t either hot as a blast furnace or cold enough to give an eskimo frostbite. The drive was so pleasant that the only rough spot was finding the hotel parking.

View from US 34 in Rocky Mountain Park. If you look closely, you’ll see the snow on those high peaks.

After a couple of days in downtown Denver at the real estate workshop that was actually incredibly informative and helpful to my practice (remember I am an investment advisor), it was time to head out of town toward Estes Park, the closest town to Rocky Mountain National Park. The last time that I was in the park was with my parents when I was 10 years old. About the only thing I remember from that trip was seeing snow in July — pretty cool for a 10 year old boy from El Paso, Texas where even seeing snow in January was rare.

The plan was to explore the park the next day, and then drive westward through Rocky Mountain Park via US Highway 34, known in the park as Trail Ridge Road – the highest paved highway in the continental United States. I got to Estes Park in the early afternoon from Denver, checked into my motel, and then walked around town and had a nice dinner.

Here is a view of one of the 14,000 foot peaks in the park. The fall colors were sweet, but that new snow was foreboding.

For you movie fans out there, Estes Park is home to the Stanley Hotel, which inspired the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King’s “The Shining”. Now the actual hotel filmed in the movie was the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon. Having been up there in a raging snow storm in late October, I can tell you personally that the Timberline Lodge is spooky as hell. Why do I go into the mountains in the late fall? 😂

A pond in the park on the way to my hike. Notice the dead conifers across the pond. This is from the western bark beetle which is wreaking havoc upon our western forests due to the changing climate.

Let’s get back to my journey to Rocky Mountain National Park. I woke up early the next morning, and during breakfast at the hotel restaurant I heard quite a bit of scuttle about a big snow storm hitting the park later in the day. Uh oh! Well after breakfast I headed out into the park and began the tour. This is where I saw the elk herd in my recent post, An Elk Surprise. Prior to my first, and what would work out to be my only hike that day, I stopped into a ranger station to check on the weather. Well, the breakfast scuttle was looking to be quite accurate now. The rangers said if the storm hit as predicted that US 34 would close that afternoon for the rest of the season until next summer.

This big guy caught my eye that morning, and now you know why I miss my Sigma 170-500mm super telephoto lens. It kept me a safe distance from guys like this.
Here is another photo of my elk friend. He was so majestic.

I decided to hit a nearby trail, hoping to get higher up and make the best of what was likely my short trip in the park. And then maybe if things weren’t too bad the next day, I could do some winter photography in the park. Much to my surprise Mother Nature had decided that there would be other things happening.

I caught this little chipmunk having a snack near the trail while I was photographing a tree. He is so cute!

Off I went up this beautiful rocky trail, and then it happened – snowflakes! At first is really wasn’t too bad – mostly flurries. As I was taking some shots around a gorgeous mountain lake, the storm hit with a vengeance. In like 15 minutes the weather went from dreary with light snow flurries to a full blown dump! Crap!

This tree is so incredible – literally clinging to those granite cliffs for its survival.

I had been pretty unconcerned about the weather that day other than contemplating a new route home. Now I was a few miles up on a high mountain trail with very few other people around (I should have noticed that earlier), and had to make it safely down the trail back to my Jeep then back down snowy roads. That was a tougher walk down than I shall describe here due to the extremely slick footing from the ever deepening snow.

The weather was really starting to turn just after I snapped this photograph. Notice the hazed mountain in the background. It is snowing over there.

I drove down the mountain through the messy weather back to Estes Park. The trip down the mountain went smoother than the hike, mostly because I was one of the few idiots left out there. Now what to do?

Here is a broader shot of the lake with the big peaks in the background. Such beautiful country!

I stopped at the ranger station again, and it was now official – US 34 which goes up over 11,000 feet (over 3353 meters) above sea level was now closed for the season. The only way to get back home was to backtrack east down out of the mountains and head toward the freeway. That evening I was studying my maps pretty thoroughly because I wanted to see some great sights, and I just wasn’t prepared to give in to Mother Nature.

Here is the last shot worth showing from my hike. Those white spots and streaks are snow. A few minutes later, it just got ugly.

Plan B.  The next morning I drove down US 34 to Loveland, Colorado, then north up US 287 to Fort Collins, Colorado – the home of Colorado State University. I had decided to go north out of Fort Collins, and then take Colorado 14 westward north of Rocky Mountain Park to Steamboat Springs, Colorado on the other side of the Rockies. Colorado 14 still goes through some incredible high country, at least according to the maps, before it eventually connects to US 40, just east of Steamboat Springs. From there, I could take US 40 straight back to Salt Lake.

This is the Cache la Poudre River along CO 14 west of Fort Collins, CO.

Was that ever a drive! Mother Nature was on one, and I made it, but let’s just say that she showed me who was boss that day. Those beautiful views of the Colorado 14’ers (peaks above 14,000 feet) were mostly obscured by clouds hanging only a couple of hundred feet above the highway. I didn’t see sunshine until later that afternoon, most of the way to Steamboat.

Farther up Poudre Canyon on CO 14. There was some hope of a decent day here.

Also, I didn’t notice on the maps that CO 14 went over a pass that was 10,276 feet (3132 meters)! As I came around one snow packed bend in the road up near the pass, I saw a green Ram truck off of the road to my left. At first I thought it was stranded in a snowbank. Nope! Upon further inspection it was lodged in some pine trees about 25 feet above the ground where the trees were! Evidently he was going just a tad bit too fast around that snowcovered curve.

This is on Colorado 14 heading toward Steamboat Springs not far past Walden on the western slope of the Rockies.

Steamboat Springs finally came into view about 5:30 pm. Whew! What a day; what a drive. Man was I ever glad to get to that Comfort Inn Motel. The next morning gave me clear skies with an easy drive back to Utah.

Well, thanks for reading about my trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Unfortunately I haven’t made it back yet, but I will say this. When I return it won’t be in later October! Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog, and thank you for making this blog happen. It keeps me sane. Have a wonderful day!

  1. Amazing, Tim! I had no idea that the Stanley hotel in Estes Park and the Timber Line hotel in Mt. Hood OR were featured in “The Shining.” Lord, I’ve watched that movie many times and it never gets old. I plan to see the Rockies and stay at least a night in the hotels sometime before I leave this world.

    1. Thank you! The Stanley Hotel is the one in Stephen King’s book, and is the setting for the film. But the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood is the one where the filming was done. Rocky Mountain park is very cool; I need to go back. Thanks for stopping by, and happy blogging. 🙂

What is the compound interest on $17 at 20% over 14 years?

If you want to invest $17 over 14 years, and you expect it will earn 20.00% in annual interest, your investment will have grown to become $218.27.

If you're on this page, you probably already know what compound interest is and how a sum of money can grow at a faster rate each year, as the interest is added to the original principal amount and recalculated for each period.

The actual rate that $17 compounds at is dependent on the frequency of the compounding periods. In this article, to keep things simple, we are using an annual compounding period of 14 years, but it could be monthly, weekly, daily, or even continuously compounding.

The formula for calculating compound interest is:

$$A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}$$

  • A is the amount of money after the compounding periods
  • P is the principal amount
  • r is the annual interest rate
  • n is the number of compounding periods per year
  • t is the number of years

We can now input the variables for the formula to confirm that it does work as expected and calculates the correct amount of compound interest.

For this formula, we need to convert the rate, 20.00% into a decimal, which would be 0.2.

$$A = 17(1 + \dfrac{ 0.2 }{1})^{ 14}$$

As you can see, we are ignoring the n when calculating this to the power of 14 because our example is for annual compounding, or one period per year, so 14 × 1 = 14.

How the compound interest on $17 grows over time

The interest from previous periods is added to the principal amount, and this grows the sum a rate that always accelerating.

The table below shows how the amount increases over the 14 years it is compounding:

Start Balance Interest End Balance
1 $17.00 $3.40 $20.40
2 $20.40 $4.08 $24.48
3 $24.48 $4.90 $29.38
4 $29.38 $5.88 $35.25
5 $35.25 $7.05 $42.30
6 $42.30 $8.46 $50.76
7 $50.76 $10.15 $60.91
8 $60.91 $12.18 $73.10
9 $73.10 $14.62 $87.72
10 $87.72 $17.54 $105.26
11 $105.26 $21.05 $126.31
12 $126.31 $25.26 $151.57
13 $151.57 $30.31 $181.89
14 $181.89 $36.38 $218.27

We can also display this data on a chart to show you how the compounding increases with each compounding period.

In this example we have 14 years of compounding, but to truly see the power of compound interest, it might be better to look at a larger number of compounding periods to see how much $17 can grow.

If you want an example with more compounding years, click here to view the compounding interest of $17 at 20.00% over 30 years.

As you can see if you view the compounding chart for $17 at 20.00% over a long enough period of time, the rate at which it grows increases over time as the interest is added to the balance and new interest calculated from that figure.

How long would it take to double $17 at 20% interest?

Another commonly asked question about compounding interest would be to calculate how long it would take to double your investment of $17 assuming an interest rate of 20.00%.

We can calculate this very approximately using the Rule of 72.

The formula for this is very simple:

$$Years = \dfrac{72}{Interest\: Rate}$$

By dividing 72 by the interest rate given, we can calculate the rough number of years it would take to double the money. Let's add our rate to the formula and calculate this:

$$Years = \dfrac{72}{ 20 } = 3.6 $$

Using this, we know that any amount we invest at 20.00% would double itself in approximately 3.6 years. So $17 would be worth $34 in ~3.6 years.

We can also calculate the exact length of time it will take to double an amount at 20.00% using a slightly more complex formula:

$$Years = \dfrac{log(2)}{log(1 + 0.2)} = 3.8\; years$$

Here, we use the decimal format of the interest rate, and use the logarithm math function to calculate the exact value.

As you can see, the exact calculation is very close to the Rule of 72 calculation, which is much easier to remember.

Hopefully, this article has helped you to understand the compound interest you might achieve from investing $17 at 20.00% over a 14 year investment period.

Imagine that you bought a calendar to organize your time and increase your productivity. Just as soon as you finish jotting down your first appointments and to-do lists, however, the unthinkable happens: You lose the calendar. You buy another, thinking that you can start again from scratch, but you lose this calendar as well. After you buy a third—and, hopefully, final—calendar, its two predecessors turn up. You’ve now spent considerable time, money, and effort on something that was supposed to make your life easier, and in the process, you’ve lost out on several promising opportunities.

This is a cautionary tale for marketers who lack unified data sets on their customers. Although marketers amass mountains of information about the men and women who buy their products, those mountains are not always properly integrated; as a result, marketers miss key insights or observations that can help them build stronger customer relationships. Unifying customer data can be a complex process, so Think with Google shared three steps that can simplify this task.

A Data Melting Pot

Customer data are often arranged according to the channel or department that recorded them rather than as a holistic view of the customer experience. However, the number of outreach channels and teams with oversight of the data means information is scattered across multiple knowledge bases, which reveals just a piece of the puzzle instead of the entire picture.

Begin the process of unifying your data by taking small steps to bridge the isolated islands where the data live: Start by combining search engine marketing data, for example, with social media data before incorporating your customer relationship management insights, etc. Be sure to house this data monolith in a single place so that you can easily access it.

Measure, Measure, Measure

Once you complete the initial mise en place of your data, shift your focus to measurement and analysis. Looking at the your data from top-to-bottom will allow you to explore the full customer journey, and you should adopt a data strategy that can analyze multiple customer journeys and experiences to squeeze out every last drop of insight.

Make It Memorable

You’ve reorganized your data. You’ve gone through it with a fine-toothed comb, testing every variable and analyzing every metric. Now that you know what your customers are looking for and how to catch their attention, it’s time to put it into practice by developing captivating customer experiences. A growing number of customers crave—and expect—personalization from brands, and unified data sets can provide a roadmap on how to design them.

PREMIER LEAGUE : Arsenal v Manchester City – KEY PLAYERS

Arsenal v Manchester City - KEY PLAYERS

Arsenal’s key man

Mesut Ozil is rightly earning the plaudits for his superb displays, but the crucial man on Monday night may be a bit further back in midfield. Mathieu Flamini has stepped into the side since Francis Coquelin’s injury, starting each of the last six games in the engine room.

He is by no means a world-class performer in that position, but against City’s massed attacking resources, Arsenal must be glad they can call on a diligent midfielder who enjoys a tackle. With Aaron Ramsey likely to bomb on, Flamini will have to get through a lot of work.

His success will determine how well Arsenal get on.

Man City’s key man

He’s had an injury-hit season so far, but it could be time for David Silva to come to the fore for the Blues. He remains the twinkle-toed fulcrum of the side, capable of unlocking even the tightest defences with a waft of that lovely left foot.

Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling have hogged the headlines this season but if Silva can put a run of games together he could be one of the key men in the title race, let along this match.

Cultural Anthropology

Cultural Anthropology

Cultural Anthropology is the study of human societies and cultures. Cultural anthropologists describe, analyze, interpret, and explain social and cultural similarities and differences around the world. Cultural anthropology is a broad field that includes the study of religion, language, folklore and mythology, art and creativity, kinship and other social relations, the ways in which people accumulate and wield wealth and power, the ways in which they formulate complex and multiple identities, ethnic or racialized conflict, cultural change, and more.

Cultural anthropologists may study cultural life far from home or in their own back yard. Wherever they work, in-depth fieldwork is the hallmark of cultural anthropology. Anthropologists live among the people they study, learn their languages, and share their everyday lives. This provides anthropologists with specialized knowledge which they can use to compare human societies and to explore the nature of human cultural diversity.

The cultural anthropology program at CSULA offers undergraduate and graduate students the flexibility to develop an individually-tailored program of study, to explore their individual interests, and to develop a broad range of research skills.

Applied Anthropology

Applied Anthropology is the application of the knowledge gained from anthropological research to address contemporary social problems. Many students choose fields in applied anthropology, including working in nonprofit agencies at home and abroad, working in economic development, conflict resolution, human rights, health, and education. The Department of Anthropology at CSULA actively fosters opportunities for our students to learn about and engage in applied anthropology.

Linguistic Anthropology

Linguistic anthropology takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of language in its social and cultural contexts, with a focus on how language is used as a cultural resource and practice. At Cal State L.A., linguistic anthropology takes a holistic, data-driven approach to the study of language, examining how language is embedded in culture, history, cognition, and social structures. The primary focus of research in linguistic anthropology at Cal State L.A. centers around the documentation and revitalization of endangered and indigenous languages. The language documentation and revitalization research group (LADORES: works actively with communities to collaborate on community-driven projects intended to strengthen language and culture and make language more visible to community members and others. We also work on cross-disciplinary projects, encouraging work on linguistic traces of historical trade networks and ethnolinguistic investigation of community saint's day festivals.

Media Anthropology

The anthropological gaze has expanded to include mesmerizing and provocative social changes in communicative practices and technologies, as these proliferating activities transform the world around us. Media Anthropology at CSULA includes several foci, mass media, social media, online blogs, online communities, the politics and technologies of representation and cultural production, the production of identities, subaltern uses of media, and the role of media in assertions of rights. In the Anthropology Media Lab, students learn ethnographic field methods and digital video filmmaking, while planning and carrying out original ethnographic research projects. Student film projects have been shown at the College Spring Honors Convocation (2006 and 2007), used for outreach and educational purposes, and shown at the Annual Student Symposium on Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity. Students from the Anthropology Media Lab have been entering their films in the CSULA Golden Eagle Film Festival since 2008, as well as entering other film contests. Check out some of our award winning films in the slideshow!

Urban Anthropology in Los Angeles and Beyond

The cultural anthropology program at CSULA seeks to promote a broader appreciation and understanding of ethnic diversity in Southern California and around the world. The Los Angeles area is one of the most culturally diverse regions in the country, and we work to engage our students in local and regional research on contemporary social issues. We offer fieldtrips to explore ethnic and cultural diversity in Los Angeles and provide opportunities for our students to work with community organizations and do fieldwork.

Many of our students also do fieldwork abroad.

Prayers for the deceased can be read in Italian, French and Turkish, the languages spoken by Catholic worshipers in Izmir. In the second half of 19th century, foreign entrepreneurs and skilled workers formed a community of western citizens who made Izmir the gate to Anatolia. The Aegean city soon became soon the economic capital of the Ottoman Empire and foreigners born there, calling themselves Levantines, were able to build churches and practice their religion.

Travel Policy & Procedures FAQs

The categories below contain answers to several Travel Policy and Procedures related Frequently Asked Questions.

If your travel policy and procedure related questions are not answered below, please contact KU Payables at, KU Research Accounting at, or KU Endowment Account Services from their KU Endowment: How to Reach Us page.

Travel Requests

Prior to booking out of state or international travel, or if requesting a cash advance, an approved travel request is required.  Travel outside the state of Kansas must have an approved Travel Request in the travel system (Concur) at least 14 days prior to domestic travel, and 30 days prior to international travel (the “14/30 rule”). If the need for travel first arises within the applicable 14/30-day period, the traveler must (a) submit the travel request as soon as possible, and (b) receive approval at least one day prior to departure.

Complete and submit your request information through the SSC Travel Request form or submit an email or your department travel request form with the proper department approvals.

To determine allowability on University and Research funds.

Funding needs to be determined for Concur Travel Requests and before booking travel.

Per IRS regulations, travelers whose travel is primarily for personal reasons where less than 50% of the time is spent on “official business,” may only be reimbursed or have expenses paid that are directly related to the business. Transportation to or from the destination city may not be paid.

Yes.  Per IRS regulations, travelers whose travel is primarily for personal reasons where less than 50% of the time is spent on “official business” may only be reimbursed or have expenses paid that are directly related to the business. Transportation to or from the destination city may not be paid.

Travel Expenses - General

Using a UKANS or KURES P-Card, many expenses can be prepaid.  Some examples include registration, airfare, and shuttles.  Hotels are not to be prepaid except for a one night’s stay deposit when needed to reserve a room. Pre-approval must be received to purchase fully pre-paid hotel/lodging accommodations.

If personal funds are used to pre-pay any expenses, reimbursement cannot be made prior to the completion of the trip.  Because of this, P-Cards are encouraged for expenses requiring prepayment.

All travel expenses paid or reimbursed must be fully substantiated and support a KU business purpose.  While this is not an exhaustive list, some examples would include: agendas containing the event name, location, beginning and ending times; daily itineraries noting location, time of activity, and business purpose; when meeting with people, include everyone’s name and purpose of the meeting; if paying for a business meeting meal, need to include the meeting agenda in addition to everyone’s name and purpose.  Unless specifically excluded, itemized receipts are required for all expenses.

Official Hospitality rules can be found in the KU Policy Library under Reimbursement of Entertainment Expenses and Food and Beverage Purchases.

Fundraising must use KUEA funds.

Any item of personal benefit to the recipient as the Internal Revenue Service considers such items to have a taxable nature.

Travel Expenses - Cash Advances

Cash advances are allowable ONLY on KURES research funded travel.  Except for individual meals, UKANS state funded travel can be paid for with a P-Card or Declining Balance P-Card.

Excess funds are required to be returned within 30 days of travel after approved travel expense report.

You will be contacted by your SSC to inform you of any remaining from your cash advance balance.  Check or cash can be submitted to the following:

KU Center for Research, Inc.

2385 Irving Hill Road

Lawrence, KS 66045

Travel Expenses - Insurance

Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation Insurance policy and Business Travel Accident policies will cover all faculty, staff and students traveling on University business, as well as incident al leisure travel up to seven days before and after the scheduled end of the travel for University business. Qualified dependents (spouses and unmarried children, up to ages 19 or 26 if enrolled as full-time student) traveling with employees on University business are also covered under these policies. Coverage exclusions include acts of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, felonies, suicide, and illegal drug use.

Both Enterprise and National provide collision damage waiver (CDW) in the rental price. Should damage to the vehicle occur, the driver will not need to work through Visa’s CDW coverage.

No. Fees for personal insurance, such as personal liability, personal effects coverage, life insurance, etc. are not reimbursable. University of Kansas employees traveling on KUCR authorized business are automatically covered by a travel insurance policy which includes life insurance, medical evacuation and repatriation. For policy on rental vehicle insurance, see "Car Rental.” Trip Protector/Flight Cancellation Insurance is a personal expense and not allowable for reimbursement.

Travel Expenses - Transportation (Flying, Driving, Car Rental)

If a personal vehicle is used in lieu of air travel, the reimbursement for mileage, per diem, lodging and other expenses resulting from the additional travel time will be compared to the cost of air travel. The traveler will receive the lesser of the two options and they are responsible for documenting and submitting comparable airfare costs based on 14-day advance purchase plus other expenses pertinent to air travel.

Yes, it is a mandatory contract, and our contract pricing, which includes CDW insurance, is loaded into our Concur Travel booking tool. You may use another rental car company only if you document that Enterprise/National does not have the vehicle you need in the location in which you need it.  Please remember to add CDW insurance when renting a vehicle from other rental car companies.

Not using University or Research funding.  Upgrades must be paid for personally.

Yes, for flight segments four hours or greater, or with a signed medical form on file with Dept/HR.

To provide proof of dates/times of travel and per diem calculation purposes.

Travelers are required to provide airfare comparison at least 14 day in advance.  The traveler will be reimbursed the lesser of the airfare cost. Mileage, tolls and airport parking is reimbursable only for business days.

Travel Expenses - Hotel/Lodging

When using University funding, only the first night of lodging may be prepaid in order to reserve a room.

These are personal amenities and are not paid nor reimbursed.

Nightly CONUS/OCONUS rates are configured into our Concur Travel booking tool.  If the nightly hotel rate exceed these rates for a conference hotel, the room can still be reserved and paid for or reimbursed with workflow approvals in Concur or an approved Excess Lodging form attached to a P-Card transaction or travel expense reimbursement.

A signed Request for Lodging in Excess of State Rates form is used when lodging exceeds the allowable rate limits, and the approval cannot be made via Concur (travel reimbursed or booked outside of the system).  It must be signed by Chancellor, EVC/Provost, Vice Provost, or designee, or Dean, Chairperson, or unit/project director.  This request must have attached a copy of conference materials indicating that the conference will be held at or in connection with a lodging establishment with rates exceeding the state rates. If the conference is not held at or in connection with the lodging establishment, the requested amount will not be paid. Submission of this request does not imply or guarantee the requested difference will be approved by Payables. If the requested amount is not paid, non-state funds may be required for the difference.

The address is used to for total cost comparison.  Transportation expenses need to be considered to get from the friend/colleague location to the actual location of official business.

Proof of dates/times of travel and per diem calculation purposes.

Travel Expenses - Meals/Per Diem

Meals are reimbursed as per diem.  Receipts are not submitted for per diem.  The rate includes all associated taxes, fees, and tips associated with the meal.  Travelers will not be reimbursed for meals exceeding the allowed rate.

Please include a statement with your travel expense report to avoid confusion. For KUCR please complete the Exception Per Diem Form.

If a meal is not consumed due to preferences, per diem may not be claimed.  The only exceptions are if this is due to dietary restrictions not being met or if the meal is not prepared or served in accordance with religious beliefs.

Receipts are not required for meals reimbursed as per diem.  If this is a meal during a business meeting, and not being paid as per diem, alcoholic beverage may be reimbursed using non-sponsored funds.  Itemized receipts are required.

Room service is a personal expense and is not reimbursed as it covered by per diem.  If room service is on a hotel receipt being paid by P-Card, please stop at the front desk and pay personally for room service and other personal expenses before checking out.

Individual meals that would otherwise be reimbursed by per diem, are not to be paid by P-Card.  Meals for a business meeting where there is an agenda, listing of attendees, and business purpose submitted may be paid for with a P-Card.

No.  Individual meals are not to be paid for on P-Cards.  Please refer the question “Can I pay for my meals on my P-Card?”

Transportation to or from restaurants is a personal expense and cannot be reimbursed.

Transportation to and from a business meeting where a meal is served as part of a business meeting may be reimbursed.  The meeting agenda in addition to all attendee's names and meeting purpose must be included with the receipt.

Travel Receipts

Cardholders must submit receipts and funding source information within five business days after the transaction or within five business days of returning from business travel.

Receipts for travel reimbursements should be turned into your SSC or travel processor within a reasonable period of time to allow for preparation and processing of your reimbursement.  Please note that due to I.R.S. regulations, any receipt received after 60 days after your return from travel will be processed as a taxable reimbursement.

Any and all information necessary to substantiate the trip and expenses paid or reimbursed.  This can include a descriptive purpose of the trip, agendas, itineraries, attendees at business meetings and purpose of the meeting, and mileage calculations.

Unless specifically called out in travel policy and procedures, itemized receipts are required for all transactions.  Please remember to ask for a receipt if one is not automatically provided.  Online transactions utilized emailed receipts.  Please save those as well.

The first step is to reach out to the supplier and ask for a duplicate.  If that is not possible, reach out to your shared service center (or department if not supported by SSC) for recommendations.  It is quite likely that without a receipt, the expense cannot be reimbursed.

All transactions must be documented and substantiated.

Keep all receipts.  Be sure to ask for an itemized receipt if it is not offered.

Business meals must include an itemized receipt, names of those in attendance, topic of meeting, and agenda.

Receipts are not provided, but those with K-tags can log into their account and provide the toll amount charged along with the date, entry location, and exit location.

Travel Reimbursements

Contact your SSC or Department, they will assist you in what form needs completed to make the necessary updates in our systems.  Also, don't forget to update any credit card changes in your Concur Profile.

Provide documentation with itemized receipts and explanations.

Cancellation is only allowed for business purposes.

Travelers receive per diem which include all charges for meals, taxes, meal tips, associated fees, and hotel tips (baggage, porters, housekeeping, etc.).

You will be reimbursed for all out of pocket expense including required taxes while traveling.

No, travel outside of project dates is not allowable on your grant.

A single-trip decline balance card is used by employees who travel infrequently, and do not have a need for a standard procurement card. The card is active for the period of the trip. The credit limit is set to the amount of the expenses the traveler expects to incur while on the trip. Once the trip has concluded, the card in inactivated, and no longer valid. The transactions are processed and reconciled in the same manner as standard P-Cards.  Declining Balance P-Cards can be obtained by completing the Procurement Card Action Request form and are issued by KU Payables to be used for UKANS state funded travel.

Cardholders must submit receipts and funding source information within five business days after the transaction or within five business days of returning from business travel.

Yes, except for meals.  Meals are reimbursed as per diem, and not appropriate for a P-Card.  Please note, employees are not to personally pay for expenses of others and seek reimbursement.

Before checking out of the hotel, employees are expected to review the hotel folio/receipt for accuracy.  If there are personal charges, the employee is to contact the front desk before checking out and personally pay for the personal charges.

Employees are expected to seek refunds of the pre-paid expenses.  If that is not possible, any credits for future travel (ex. airline) must be used for future business travel.  If the expense is not refunded and there is no credit, the department must pay for the expense.

International Travel

The Fly America Act (49 U.S.C. 40118) generally provides that foreign air travel funded by Federal government money may only be conducted on U.S. air carriers. Airline tickets for grantees traveling on federal funds must be ticketed with a U.S. flag carrier code. We understand that U.S. flag carriers are not always available to the final destination; however, a U.S. flag carrier must be used to the furthest destination possible. Additionally, a grantee must fly on a U.S. airline even if a foreign airline would be less expensive, provide preferred routing, or be more convenient. There also are exceptions to the Act, in which federal funding could be used for non-U.S. carriers.  Fly America compliant flight options are notated in Concur Travel with an icon of a shield with a check mark in it that can be seen above the view fares button.

Please review the University-Sponsored Travel to High Risk Locations policy, as well as the KU International Affairs Travel Advisory information when traveling to destinations with Federal travel warnings.

Faculty and staff have aBusiness Travel Insurance benefit (Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation Insurance and Business Travel Accident Insurance) while traveling on University business as well as incidental leisure travel up to seven days before and after the scheduled of the travel for University business.

No, your SSC will use conversion rates in Concur.

Our Top Ten Disney Planning Tips

There are a 1,000,001 blogs, vlogs, YouTube channels, Insta accounts and more that can help you to plan your Disney Trip. (My favorite has been the Disney Food Blog YouTube channel. Their focus is obviously food, but they do everything Disney!) Having fallen deep into the rabbit hole of Disney planning, here are my top 10 tips:

TIP #1: Leave your skepticism at home. It’s no fun for anyone if you are too cool for school at Disney. Lean into it. Buy yourself a silly shirt and some sparkly Mickey ears and go. Disney is not about reality but rather escaping it. I’m certainly not recommending escapism as a general life philosophy (I study human rights violations and war crimes for a living!) but rather as a way to enjoy 4 or 5 days away with your family.

Tip #2: Stay as close to the parks as you can manage. We did not fully appreciate the value of being on the monorail or within walking distance of a park until we were schlepping back and forth to buses in the heat of the summer.

Tip #3: MinnieVans are worth every penny, but they do cost a pretty penny! When we got tired of waiting on the buses (see above), we got hooked on MinnieVans. These adorable, polka-dot vans operate like a Lyft (and work through the Lyft app) and can drop you off right at the parks’ gates (unlike a regular Lyft/Uber). *Photo courtesy of Disney Parks Blog.

Tip #4. If your kiddos might be even remotely interested in meeting characters, character meals are where it’s at! They are air-conditioned (do not discount how important this is!); you don’t have to stand in line (ditto); the characters come around to every table and spend plenty of time with each kiddo, taking pictures and signing autograph books; and a slow(er) meal will help build in some relaxation time into your day.

Tip #5: If you want to prioritize character meetings (see Tip #4), think about the Disney Dining Plan. Although not everyone likes the DDP, if you do the math on the character meals, it turns out to be a decent deal. And remember, for many of these character meals, you are not going for the food but rather for the experience.

Tip #6: Book your FastPass+ tickets as soon as your window opens but be flexible. You are guaranteed not to get every FastPass+ that you and your family would like. Enjoy the rides and experiences with shorter lines. Take it all in. Some of our best experiences where the little rides and shows we did in between our FastPass+ reservations. You can also book one additional FastPass+ at a time after you’ve used up your original 3 for the day. We didn’t find that there were any reservations left for the most popular rides or attractions, but we did always use those bonus passes to enjoy another experience.

Tip #7: Speaking of FastPass+, don’t use them all on rides. Use them for shows, character meetings and other experiences, too. Many of the rides at WDW are fantastic, but leave time for the other stuff, too. It is just as magical.

Tip #8: If you have kiddos that wants to do the Bippidy Boppidy Boutique, don’t do it in the Magic Kingdom and then expect them to be happy walking around the park all day in full hair and makeup and a polyester costume. I would highly recommend getting the makeover done at Disney Springs or (coming soon!) the Grand Floridian and then heading over to a character meal at one of the resorts. (We did 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian right after BBB.)

Tip #9: Take the time to enjoy your resort. We didn’t do a “resort day” but instead went over to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter on our non-Disney parks day. We had a great time there but we needed a day to just relax. Moreover, there was so much to do at our resort and we barely scratched the surface. You are paying for all of those amenities and activities, so take advantage of them!

Tip #10: Finally, as with all trips, things will go wrong. It took us 24 hours to fly from Nebraska to Florida. One day a kid woke up with a 104 fever. Even if you are indulging in a bit of escapism, life still happens. Build in some buffers and downtime and don’t hesitate to reach out to Disney or use your MyDisneyExperience app to alter your plans.

Austin Honors Teresa Lozano Long, Patron of Arts and Education

Long, who passed away on March 21 at 92, is remembered for her contributions at the University of Texas and beyond

Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies
Teresa Lozano Long with husband Joe Long.

Austin has lost a legendary figure in the realms of arts and education.

Teresa Lozano Long, whose name is affixed to the city’s most prominent center for performing arts, died on March 21. She was 92.

The Austin Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Austin and the Austin Opera perform on stages at the Long Center, a complex Long and her husband, Joe Long, helped fund with a donation of $20 million.

In a tweet after her passing, the Long Center wrote, “Tonight our ring beam is white in remembrance of Teresa Long’s enduring support of the arts, arts education, and Austin’s cultural landscape. Austin has lost a dear friend, and our hearts go out to Joe and the Long family as we continue to be inspired by Teresa’s life and legacy.”

The Austin Opera wrote on Twitter: “Teresa Lozano Long was a founding member of the Board of Trustees and a major supporter of Austin Lyric Opera along with her husband Joe. Teresa has left a lasting legacy as an incredible philanthropist who made our arts community stronger.”

Austin Mayor Steve Adler also sent out condolences, tweeting, “Teresa Lozano Long, and her husband Joe, opened doors to worlds that would otherwise have been unavailable to so many. I close my eyes and can feel the warmth that would come with her smile and support. Austin has lost one of its royalty.”

Long is also remembered for her contribution to the University of Texas at Austin’s Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS). In 2019, former President Donald Trump gave Long the National Humanities Medal, which is awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities to “individuals or groups whose work has deepened the nation’s understanding of the humanities and broadened our citizens’ engagement with history, literature, languages, philosophy, and other humanities subjects.”

In a letter to the Longhorn community acknowledging the honor at the time, UT President Gregory L. Fenves wrote about Long and her legacy at the university where she was the first Hispanic woman to receive a doctorate in health and physical education.

“Terry came from humble beginnings, growing up in the small South Texas town of Premont. With her parents’ encouragement and support, she thrived throughout her academic career,” Fenves wrote. “She, along with her husband Joe, has championed generations of UT students – funding numerous scholarships and endowments, including a transformative gift that led to the naming of the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies … Her accomplishments are a reflection of UT’s core values and the very highest aspirations we have for our graduates.”

A public graveside service was planned at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Cemetery in Pflugerville for March 24, the Austin American-Statesman reported. In lieu of flowers, the Long family requested that memorial contributions be made to Austin Soundwaves, Avance-Austin or the Texas Interscholastic League Foundation.

When drying in a vacuum, the temperature can be lowered. During the drying process, unwanted moisture and other volatile components that are left from the board manufacturing process or that have entered at a later stage during transport or storage are to be removed from the board and the components. If these volatile components are still present during soldering, the high internal vapor pressure may develop. This can lead to cracking of the components or to delamination of the base material of the printed circuit board.

Nicki Minaj Demanding Hot 97 Stop Playing Her Music

Nicki Minaj Celebrates Fragrance Launch In Sydney

Although I agree with the sentiment that Nicki Minaj’s attitude has been a bit too much to bear lately, there’s a new video going around that deserves context. According to Hot 97’s Ebro, Minaj called in from overseas, insulted him, and demanded that he stop playing her music.

Ebro said:

"I said, ‘Rosenberg ruined Nicki Minaj’s career’ – evidence suggests based on this Re-Up release, the things [Rosenberg] said about her being pop and selling out and making that pop music came back to haunt her. Now, she puts six rap records on this album and it didn’t sell…I get the phone call, the international number pops up, I answer the call, it’s my friend Nicki Minaj, who then starts to proclaim how I’m fake. She used every woman’s stab she could –

‘I thought you were a man, you’re a cornball, I thought we were friends, you’re fake, everyone told me you were fake’…I said, ‘Nicki, I’m helping you. I’m keeping you in the Hip Hop conversation. This Hip Hop thing’s a competition; you’re either ringing, or you’re not, and just like

I said yesterday, i love you, boo and I’ll dust you off and make sure this thing is popping off again.’ And she goes, ‘Don’t ever play my music again’…of course we are [still playing Nicki Minaj], I love Nicki Minaj."

So here’s context. Peter Rosenberg is the Hot 97 personality who notoriously prompted Nicki to cancel her performance at Summer Jam following him making the very sexist comment that her pop-rap songs are for women, ergo, not “real” hip-hop fans.

As for the talk of low sales of her re-released album, much of that has to do with Target and Best Buy not carrying the album. Given they are the largest music retailers, obviously that made it very difficult for her to move any real significant units. According to Minaj in a separate interview, the retailers didn’t want to stock the album given other re-releases not selling well.

In any event, you can see video of Nicki Minaj’s apparent demand to Hot 97 below:

TWC explores how working practices have changed because of C-19 and asks; how many will stick?

Undoubtedly, C-19 has driven digital transformation at a speed no strategist dreamed was possible even a few months ago.  Here is a look at some of the instant changes we have seen:

Instant Transformations

  1. Overnight adoption and ‘emotional acceptance’ of remote working platforms by both employers and workers…….
  2. Better use of time – less ‘windshield-time’ more ‘screen time’
  3. Increases in webinars, videos and digital resources
  4. Increased use of data to monitor buying patterns
  5. Stress testing e-commerce platforms via demand surges
  6. An increase in demand for online training & personal development modules
  7. Race to get Apps for online ordering and information

Notwithstanding that many businesses that are generally struggling right now because markets have collapsed, other businesses will be noticing cost savings and benefits from these new working practices:

  • No travel or subsistence costs
  • No office costs – reduced overheads
  • Smaller carbon footprint
  • More agility

Interestingly, one thing we are hearing a lot, is that managers are talking and seeing their teams more – the rise of the video conference means more focussed face time!  So which changes will last?

covid digital impact

The reality is that we will not stay at this extreme state of lock-down, so it will move back from where we are now but it is difficult to imagine some of these changes won’t be adopted for the long term:

  1. Video conferences become more culturally normal – face to face meetings no longer seen as essential if a video conference can do the job
  2. Overseas conferences and big events – they cost a lot of money and take a great deal of time to organise and attend – maybe webinars are the future?
  3. Remote working – the companies who do well through this will struggle to justify an office-based culture going forward (greater adoption)
  4. Apps – once wholesalers have got online with an App, it is very unlikely they will step back from it.
  5. The emotional acceptance that smart technology makes our business lives more agile, more efficient and more commercially effective.

Furthermore, for those workers who aspire to flexible working, the new environment is demonstrating to employers that it is possible to maintain staff engagement and company outputs simultaneously through flexible working arrangements.  Maybe, this will be the catalyst for a step change in flexible working practices across industry?

Here at TWC, we have always said that good digital is all about having IT systems that are flexible and adaptable, alongside the use of data in understanding changing consumer behaviours.  C-19 has demonstrated how important this philosophy is in a rapidly disrupted world.  Businesses that will thrive through this are the ones set up to move quickly, able to respond immediately to changing customer needs and adapt their systems and processes accordingly.

This is true digital transformation, happening right now……..

  3. 2016 HVD Semillon

2016 HVD Semillon

Trophies and Medals

Situated between two dry creek beds, the HVD (Hunter Valley Distillery) vineyard has ideal soils for Semillon; free draining sandy soils over coarse river sand. The vines are dry grown and were planted in 1908. The 2016 growing season was one that started with great promise with our wettest winter in nearly a decade. Perfect conditions for budburst and flowering were followed by an unsettled summer consisting of hot days and wild storms. Luckily, these weather patterns calmed down into one of the driest February’s on record. Handpicked in the early hours of the morning, the fruit was lightly crushed and pressed before a relatively cool fermentation. Then the wine spent minimal time on yeast lees before being bottled early to maintain its freshness. No oak fermentation or maturation.

Textbook HVD Semillon showing a lifted, generous floral aromatic unlike our other Semillons. The palate is full and soft, typical of the vineyard with a fine boned acidity giving the wine added element of interest.

Alcohol – 11%
Cellaring – 5+ years

93 Points | Ned Goodwin MW, Wine Companion

"From early promise, to calamities, to a dry tail saving the vintage, 2016 was peripatetic. Yet here, at this most reliable address, very good across the suite of whites. Planted in 1908 on sand. Crushed with 50% stems intact, as is the wont here. The HVD is the more phenolic of Tyrell's 3 single-vineyard semillons. De rigeur flavour intensity. Talc, bath salts and pumice. Lemon rind to grapefruit scents, too. A forceful finish marked by a generosity of extract and a gentle pucker. This will age very well."

93 Points | Aaron Brasher, The Real Review

"Really bright and youthful in the glass. Aromas of lemon butter, grapefruit pith, jasmine, toast and honeydew melon. Textured and creamy on the palate, lemon curd, nutty, citrus pith and toast. Bright and crunchy acidity provides real lift and freshness."

90+ Points | Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

"Very light and delicate, with an asprin flavour through it at present, so optimists might hope that may mitigate the effects of drinking a whole bottle at once? Maybe not. Anyway, more to lemon than lime, slightly herbal, firm tangy acidity, and a finish of decent length struck with a little bitterness. It’s very young and lean, and may surprise with bottle age."

Ensuring Proper Nutrition with Ration Support Program

Current times have been particularly difficult for families surviving on daily wages – and with most families from West Bengal’s Leprosy Colonies relying on daily income from begging, rag picking and labouring work, the impact has been harsh. To ensure proper nutrition during this time, Udayan responded with distribution of ration kits to families, with the support of corporate donors, Wipro & SBI Life Insurance.

The nutrition of Udayan children was affected during the lockdown as it was becoming increasingly difficult for their families to arrange the basic necessities, despite rations delivered by the Government. Considering that many of our children and their family members are undergoing leprosy treatment or have been affected in the past, proper nutrition becomes even more crucial for them.

Despite government aid and support from ‘local groups’, it was evident that the members of our Udayan family would need more support to make it through extended lockdown with adequate supplies to ensure proper meals.

In April 2020, Wipro Foundation extended its support of INR 6 lakh to provide dry ration for families facing the loss of livelihood due to COVID-19. Our staff members and community volunteers from the respective colonies quickly mobilized and coordinated with local grocery shops to finalize the rate of dry rations for relief work, with the support of our Director.
With the help of Wipro Foundation, Udayan team provided dry ration support to 600 families in 10 colonies under the district Bardhaman Bankura & Purulia of West Bengal. Each family received 20 Kg rice, 1 Kg soybean, 3 Kg potatoes, 1 Kg masoor dal (red lentil), 1 liter of mustard oil, 1 Kg sugar, 1 Kg suji, 1 Kg salt, and 1 pc soap.

Additionally, SBI Life Insurance that has extended financial support to Udayan for the year 2020-21 also allowed to utilize a portion of the nutrition fund to provide rations to children. The money was originally allocated to ensure good food and nutrition for our children whilst on campus. Now that kids are at home with their families, this was the best way to make use of available resources. An amount of 3lacs was harnessed to supply 1 month's ration to our 270 children from 197 families.

Most Racist Gimmicks in Wrestling? You decide...

Recommended Posts

I was thinking about gimmicks in wrestling that are racist, here are my thoughts.

Tatanka. The theme music was sung and composed by jim bell the WWF Composer, surely they could have used a real native pipe band, like the ones you see in every highstreet across the country. I even saw some when I was on holiday in portugal, one of them had a mullet, could it be him?

Eddie Gurrerro. He was Chilean, so how could it be latino heet?

Ludvig Borga. Shot himself because of the pressures of having a Finnish gimmick thrown on him. It was rumored he asked to be packaged as Lud Van Dyke and Vince turned it down telling him "You Polski Skelep's don't ever tell me how to live my life."

Papa Shango. He wasn't even black but could he do Voodoo??? WTF

Ultimate Warrior. I don't know if anyone ever noticed but when he was fighting someone from another race, I dunno....his smile was just different.....happier almost. maybe it was the Deca.

Papa Shango not black? never knew that.

Not sure if it was intentionally racist, but Piper at the Wrestlemania where he fought Bad News Brown was a strange concept, blacking up half his body.

Wasn't that the original plan for Harlem Heat? I'm sure they were supposed to come out in chains led by the plantation owner, can't imagine it would've gone down too well

Led to the ring by Col Parker. Sid's idea, it's said.

Was it Bill Watts who wanted to do a slave stable with a plantation owner as the manager?

Thats interesting, who do you think would have made a good stable? I'm pondering..

Barry Windham as "The Stablemaster"

The histone chaperone hira promotes the induction of host innate immune defences in response to HSV-1 infection

Steven McFarlane, Anne Orr, Ashley P.E. Roberts, Kristen L. Conn, Victor Iliev, Colin Loney, Ana Da Silva Filipe, Katherine Smollett, Quan Gu, Neil Robertson, Peter D. Adams, Taranjit Singh Rai, Chris Boutell

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    25 Citations (Scopus)

    Host innate immune defences play a critical role in restricting the intracellular propagation and pathogenesis of invading viral pathogens. Here we show that the histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA (histone cell cycle regulator) associates with promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) to stimulate the induction of innate immune defences against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection. Following the activation of innate immune signalling, HIRA localized at PML-NBs in a Janus-Associated Kinase (JAK), Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK), and Sp100-dependent manner. RNA-seq analysis revealed that HIRA promoted the transcriptional upregulation of a broad repertoire of host genes that regulate innate immunity to HSV-1 infection, including those involved in MHC-I antigen presentation, cytokine signalling, and interferon stimulated gene (ISG) expression. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that PML, the principle scaffolding protein of PML-NBs, was required for the enrichment of HIRA onto ISGs, identifying a role for PML in the HIRA-dependent regulation of innate immunity to virus infection. Our data identifies independent roles for HIRA in the intrinsic silencing of viral gene expression and the induction of innate immune defences to restrict the initiation and propagation of HSV-1 infection, respectively. These intracellular host defences are antagonized by the HSV-1 ubiquitin ligase ICP0, which disrupts the stable recruitment of HIRA to infecting viral genomes and PML-NBs at spatiotemporally distinct phases of infection. Our study highlights the importance of histone chaperones to regulate multiple phases of intracellular immunity to virus infection, findings that are likely to be highly pertinent in the cellular restriction of many clinically important viral pathogens.
