NOTD - Zippy Tips

It's been a while since my last nail art post so here we are, I saw something similar to this in the Jeans for Genes campaign. Though they were nail wraps and I'm not the most even handed when it comes to applying those blighters.

As with all my nail art looks this 'un's simple and only took 3 colours as seen above. Barry M Red Glitter (Stunning), Catrice's I Wear my Sunglasses at Night and Kiss' silver glitter Nail Art Paint. The pictures below show I used Sally Hansen's Wine Not as a base on first attempt but its really not needed.

You'll need to paint your entire nail your chosen base colour.
Using your black polish or your top colour of choice paint triangles at different angles.
Next step is to fill in your top colour leaving your triangle exposed (ooh er)
Using the glitter (or any metallic) paint 'teeth' on either side of the triangle
You'll need a solid triangle of glitter and an open triangle as the zip pull
Finish up with a couple of lines to your nail base, a swish of topcoat, a quick clean & there we have it!

What do we think? You can use any colours you have in your stash, just be sure that they're contrasting for best effect. I'm sure the original denim wraps cold be done very well with an on trend (I hate that saying) blue and a gold as the zip.

Will you be giving this a bash?

Posts Tagged ‘Chiangmai Golf Festival 2018’

Artitaya (Gold Canyon) A great deal-as usual

Friday, April 13th, 2018

Artitaya (Gold Canyon)

Artitaya formerly Gold Canyon). During the golf festival you might want to add this very nice course to your itinerary as they are offering equally good deals although not part of the Chiangmai Golf Festival.

Every day it is just 1000 THB for green fee, caddy fee and golf cart except Tuesday and Thursday  when it is just 900 THB inclusive.

Opened in 2009 and located around 1 to 1.5 hours from ChiangMai, Artitaya is set in a rural area not far from Lamphun. Gold Canyon is surrounded by orchards, woodlands, and canyons. The rural setting provides a relaxing and scenic location and the ChiangMai golf course is enjoyable for all.

Trees are often a hazard and some are situated almost directly in front of many of the tee boxes.  Some of the original trees have been removed improving the access to some of the holes, golfers may still have to avoid the fairway hazards by hitting over them or simply risk trying to pass the ball through tree branches.

Artitaya plays to over 7,300 yards from the back tees and while the course is  fairly flat you need to be prepared to do a lot of  walking as the distance from green to tee is often long and undulating. The 1st hole is wide open with a huge fairway and relatively easy.  The course then gets tougher as you progress and the back nine is much more challenging than the front.  There are a few tight driving holes but most fairways widen out  around 200 yards off the tees.  Three of the par 4 holes would almost be considered par 5’s on some courses.

ChiangMai Golf Festival 2018

Not looking very exciting except for one in particular with most of the prices higher than last year when 1000 baht was the base price on most courses. 900 baht if you want to walk on some courses but the hottest time of the year,not very pleasant!

Best deal Inthanon at just 900 baht all in.

Runner up – Gassan Legacy at 1300 baht all in.

(Not sure if they will keep the food voucher deal for particular days)

Alpine as usual way overpriced and no choice.

Rape conviction returned after 45 minutes

A Cook County jury deliberated less than an hour today before convicting a former postal worker in the abduction and rape of a 16-year-old girl on Chicago’s South Side.

The five-man, seven-woman jury found Tommie Naylor, 43, guilty of aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping and criminal sexual assault in the November 2008 attack after deliberating for just 45 minutes.
Naylor, seated at a defense table dressed in dark suit and tie, showed no emotion as the verdicts were read.

The three-day trial centered on testimony from the victim –- now 18 -- as well as testimony from two other girls that Naylor is charged with assaulting under similar circumstances. Naylor has been charged with kidnapping and raping a total of five girls between 2003 and 2008.

The other victims were allowed to testify under an Illinois statute allowing evidence that demonstrates a defendant has a "propensity to commit sex offenses."
One victim, who was 16 at the time she was raped in 2006, testified she was standing at a bus stop on 75th Street on her way to a shopping mall in the middle of the afternoon when a man she later identified as Naylor suddenly grabbed her by the arm as he brandished a screwdriver.
"He said, 'Get in the car or I will kill you,' " she testified.

As he drove through an alley, she pleaded with him to let her go. He promised he wasn't going to rape her, saying, "I'm better than that," the woman recalled. But he soon stopped the car and sexually assaulted her, she said.
Naylor was arrested in 2009 at the south suburban mail-sorting facility where he worked. Detectives had matched his vehicle to a partial license plate number from one alleged victim. DNA matched him to each of the five sexual assaults, prosecutors said.

Naylor is due back in court on June 3. Four other sexual assault cases against him are still pending.

Child lead program. What does that mean?

Through the course of my education and Northern Michigan University, I was placed for field experiece in several different daycares or schools around Marquette county. Never once was I in one that was "child directed." That was until I began at Child Central Station. I met for an "interview" with Ms. Amy a few weeks before my summer internship was due to start. And she explained how her daycare was run. The things that she told me, the beliefs she had, and the way she said things were run, were exactly how I felt I could see my own daycare being run some day. So I knew right away this was where I wanted my internship to be.
Starting at this daycare was  a new experience for me. But I never knew how different it would be from what I was used to. I was “warned” by Ms. Amy before I started, that the center is so child directed/lead. However, until I was actually in the setting and involved did I begin noticing the differences and seeing what she really meant.
The days were not pre planned out for what the children were going to have to do, nor were they forced to learn specific things. The daycare was set up for a questioning and answer seeking environment. There were all sorts of books, games, puzzles, or toys that the children could choose from at any time. There were resources upon resources available for them to use. The children decided what they wanted to do and learn about. Things within the daycare were structured, and the enviorment was stagged to help their learning. But things were never forced on the children. This was a big deal to me. I was so used to having everything set up ahead of times, and days planned out of exactly what was going to happen. It was nice to be able to go with the flow and follow wherever the children lead.
Doing my specific learning plan was probablly the most challenging part of my internship. In any other setting it would have been a breeze. However, having the children completely used to "running the show" made it hard for me to direct activities. This was such a good learning oppurtunity for me though. I was forced to find a balance on when to go with the flow, and when to be very direct. I also learned how important setting the stage was, and learning to make conections in whichever way the children went.
 During my time here at Child Central Station, I learned so many different things. However, being able to experience this completely new type of teaching was so beneficial. The children were so well behaved and I attribute that to the way the program is run. The children are not forced to do what they don't want to. They have freedom to do as they please. Which makes them much more interested in what they are doing, and pushed their learning to the limits because they actually care about whatever it is they are choosing to do. I also noticed the attitudes of the children was so much happier. There were less arguments and fights. The whole time I spent there this summer, I think I only had a handful of arguments or mishaps to deal with. That was amazing to me. Because in my previous experiences, way more of my time was spent dealing with arguments and bad behaviors than needed to be.
 I really enjoyed this new type of teaching. It taught me a lot and really helped me to learn new things and techniques that will help to guide me in my future as an early childhood educator. It's true, its a lot of work and a lot of on your feet types of experiences, but the benifits that I was able to witness were incredible.

Hey! I'm Ms. Elissa. I'm a student intern at Child Central Station. I've been working under Ms. Amy and Mr. Allan all summer. I am working on getting my degree in early childhood education, and although it's been a long process, the end is near. I will be graduating in May, when I hope to joining the Americorps and move somewhere that I'm more needed. I loved doing my internship this summer and spending so much time with the kids. It was nice to finally be able to put all of the stuff I have been learning to use.

Hello Elissa

Thanks very much for your account of your time with Amy. I've always enjoyed her blog posts because you can tell the children and Amy have a lot of fun and there's so much learning happening.

At some point in the future, you may enjoy visiting other countries to see the variety of approaches used. Meanwhile I would grab a list of blogs that Amy recommends as a way of staying connected to a pre-school community with similar values.

Best wishes

It Finally Snowed!

I was starting to give up on the idea that we might possibly be able to build a luge this year. We have had a very odd winter here in Upper Michigan. We had some early snow that lasted for awhile, but no real accumulation for weeks. Then…. almost all of it melted. You could seriously start to see green patches in our yard.
The past couple of weeks have been riddled with well below freezing temperatures and snow accumulation! I think the public schools have been closed nearly just as much as they have been open. The snow is starting to pile up, almost enough now to put in our sled run!
While we have been waiting for enough snow in the yard, We have been making regular  trips to the park.
We’ve also been spending some time playing in the yard. We decided to make a fort using the structure of our fort/slide/climbing wall as a base. The children have been shoveling the snow around the base to create walls and enclose a cool fort.
Some of the younger children have been observing the older children work from their comfy seats in the sleds….
or from the swing.
Our outdoor adventures have been fun, but we have also been working to solve problems. We have had to figure out the best way to stack the snow, how to work together, and we have also found out that some shovels definitely work better than others!P1100554
I’m hoping that in a week or so, I’ll have a luge report!

The common styles of cushions are Chinese style, modern style, European style, classical style, European style country, and new classical style.

Some sedentary people, in order to prevent low back pain, often in the car chair, sofa, stool put a cushion, cushion with back pain, but also pay attention to methods. Cushion must be placed on the waist, put on the back is not correct. This is because the normal lumbar body a total of 5, due to physiological needs they do not grow in a straight line, but a central projecting shape protruding from the side, lumbar, like a gentle slope of the packet. Because of this physiological characteristics, the waist and back can not be placed in the same plane.

six months later: hurricane harvey update, and a break

We're coming up on seven months since we were displaced by Hurricane Harvey.  I've tried to keep Chookooloonks from turning into a hurricane blog -- after all, for most of the rest of the world, Harvey is ancient history -- but I thought that six months in, it might be good to give you an update on where we are in our recovery.

The short answer:  we're making progress, but not nearly as quickly as I would like.

The long answer is below.

1.  Replacing our belongings.  Because about 25 inches of floodwater stood in our home for close to two weeks, we lost almost everything: anything that was two feet or below in our house was obliterated; most things above 25 inches were discarded, especially if they were made of cloth or paper, because we were afraid of mold setting in, and everything we read said that mold ain't no joke.  (That means all clothes, books and papers, with the exception of what we could evacuate with, are gone).  Everything that we could save -- a couple of pieces of furniture, dishes that were in upper cabinets, that sort of thing -- are in a storage pod.  While the water was still in the house, Marcus managed to wade in and save our art, which was huge, and that's being stored at my parents' place (happily, while the water made it to their door, it didn't actually come into their home).

So since moving into the apartment where we are now, we've been slowly replacing what we need.  What has been really interesting, however, how careful we've become:  since we've been given a clean slate, we've been able to think about what we really need, as opposed to just buying things to replace.  We needed beds and we needed a couch and a couple of small tables to eat and work on, but we haven't purchased any other furniture, mostly because we don't need it yet (but also because we just don't have the room in our apartment).  There's something that has been really freeing about this -- thinking about not only about what we need, but how we want to express ourselves through our clothing and items for our home, and how what we buy reflects our values ... well, it's been a lesson, and sort of an interesting experiment, and one that continues.  Is it strange that, in a weird way, I'm grateful that we've been given this challenge?

And speaking of our home ...

2.  Rebuilding our house.  It turns out that rebuilding a home is a far longer process than you would think.  Because we love our area (and prior to the flood, our property held its land value well), we decided that instead of selling our ruined home, we'd stay in the neighbourhood.  But when we removed the drywall (again, to mitigate mold), we discovered our 50+-year-old home had structural damage that we probably never would have discovered had we not removed the drywall.  Since we had canceled our flood insurance two years earlier (because our home isn't in a flood zone ... ah, irony),  once we had a quick conversation with a contractor we'd worked with before who confirmed that we were better off rebuilding, it meant that we needed to come up with the funds to demolish and rebuild our house.

And so, the last 7 months have been all about finding a builder who was trustworthy, picking a home design we could afford, applying for a construction loan, appraising our loss, appraising what a new house would be worth on that land once we rebuilt and getting approved for a loan.  We managed to pick the builder and home design plan by the end of last year, but since then it's been all about banks and appraisals, and only finally closed on the loan last week.  Now we're navigating the world of permitting (you have to have a permit to build, AND you have to have a permit to demolish, who knew?), but once all that's completed, we're off to the races.  Fingers crossed we break ground by mid-April, and then hopefully will be in a home by Thanksgiving, inshallah.  This past weekend, Marcus brought the remaining few things from our garage back to the apartment patio, in anticipation of demolition in the next couple of weeks: items included a couple of bikes, a shop vac and a potted amaryllis that had remained in that disgusting sewer-y floodwater for those weeks, but somehow managed to survive, so we repotted it in clean soil and it's now blooming.  The amaryllis reminds me of that Thich Nhat Hanh metaphor about a lotus needing mud to bloom, just as we need challenges in order to become strong.  Kind of appropriate, right?

3.  Rebuilding a thriving speaking and coaching practice.  Needless to say, with all of this upheaval, money has been on my mind, and at the beginning of the year, I decided that my business had to be my number one priority.  I hadn't been able to focus on it at the end of 2017 (for obvious reasons), and so I committed to myself that I would refocus for 2018.  Happily, my efforts are beginning to bear fruit:  I've booked several keynote and workshop gigs for the year, and have began taking on coaching clients (more on this soon).  In fact, I'm becoming so busy, I've started toying with the idea of bringing on a part-time virtual assistant to help me manage my calendar and some of the administrative aspects of my practice.  It's exciting and terrifying, but generally all good.  Many more details about this to come in April.

So we're making progress, and things are looking up.  That said ... I decided last week that we needed a break.  Right after the hurricane Marcus began a new job (which he is loving, thank heavens), and Alex began eighth grade (which she is loving, thank heavens), and between each of our respective work lives and trying to make a home of our little apartment and worrying about the build, the three of us haven't had much time to just ourselves.  Next week is Alex's spring break, and almost at the spur of the moment, we've booked a quick, inexpensive holiday to Mexico.  We're going to a pretty remote spot, and we're planning on taking nothing but stacks of books and an intent to reconnect.  I may occasionally post an image or two on my Instagram and Facebook feeds, but for the most part, I'll be unplugged.  And once we return, I'll spend a week getting refocused, and then I'll return here to Chookooloonks in April, undoubtedly with lots of photographs and a few stories to go along with them.

One last thing: thanks so much for all of your support, emails, Facebook comments, Instagram comments,  gifts, prayers, good vibes and magical juju over the last 7 months.  I am not exaggerating when I tell you that your kindness has meant so much to our little family -- it seriously buoyed our spirits many times when things were looking pretty bleak.  Your boundless generosity is what helps me keep the faith in this world, really really.

With that, I'm off.  But before I go, I wanted to share one thing that made this week a good week:  the following cover of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car by young musical artist Khalid.  I love this because I think this song is hopeful, and I love that it's being performed by a young artist, and young people are inspiring the hell out of me this week.

With that, much love and take care, friends.  See you when I get back.

Define combustion.

Combustion is the process of burning of a substance in the presence of air or oxygen with the liberation of energy in the form of heat and light.

The conditions necessary for combustion are:
(1) Presence of combustible substance
(2) Supporter of combustion
(3) Attainment of ignition temperature

Differentiate between combustible & non-combustible substances.

Combustible substances.
Those substances which burn easily are called combustible substances. for eg. Paper, petrol, LPG & wood etc.
Non-combustible substances.
Substances which do not burn in air or oxygen are called non-combustible substances. For eg. glass, sand, soil & cement.

Define ignition temperature ?
The lowest temperature at which a substance catches fire and starts burning is known as ignition temperature.

What are the different types of combustion ?

Combustion is mainly of three types:
1.Rapid combustion -If a combustion reaction takes place with a high speed &in which a large amount of heat & light are produced in a short time is called Rapid combustion. for eg. burning of matchstick, burning of magnesium ribbon.

2.Spontaneous combustion-A combustion which occurs on its own ,without the application of heat is called spontaneous combustion. For eg. Forest fire, burning of white phosphorus.

3. Explosion -The process of combustion where large amount of gases are evolved with the production of a tremendous amount of heat, light and sound is called explosion. for eg. Burning of crackers.

What is an incomplete combustion ?
Incomplete combustion of a substance takes place in the presence of insufficient amount of air or oxygen, this results in the formation of carbon monoxide, soot, heat &light.

What do you meant by inflammable substances?

The substance which have very low ignition temperature and can easily catch fire with a flame are called inflammable substances.

What is meant by the term ‘fuel’?

A fuel is a substance, which may be burnt to produce considerable heat without the formation of objectionable products.

What are the characteristics of an ideal fuel ?

An ideal fuel should have the following characteristics:
1.It should have a high calorific value.
2. It should not produce any harmful products on burning.
 3. It should cause minimum pollution of air.
4. It should be cheap and readily available.
 5. It should be easy to store,transport and handle.
 6. Its ignition temperature should be above the room temperature.
7. It should leave no residue after burning.
 8. It should burn at a moderate rate.

Define Calorific value of a fuel ?
The amount of heat produced on complete combustion of one kg of a fuel is known as its calorific value.It is usually expressed in kilojoule per kg (kj/kg).

How is a flame produced?
A flame is said to be produced when a combustible substance is in the vapour state & burns.

What are the different zones of a candle flame ?
different zones of a candle flame
zones of a candle flame

A candle flame consists of three zones

1.Non-luminous zone or zone of complete combustion.
2.Luminous zone or zone of incomplete combustion.
3. Dark zone or zone of no combustion.

What is Acid rain .Explain its consequences.
Burning of coal and diesel releases sulphur dioxide gas &oxides of nitrogen which when dissolved in rainwater produces the acid rain.It is quite harmful for crops,buildings and soil. These gases also cause respiratory problems like asthma and bronchitis.

The gases like nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide etc. present in the atmosphere as pollutants when these gases dissolve in rain water and form acids and reaches to the earth as rain called as acid rain.

What is Green house effect ? explain its consequence ?
An increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth is called GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

Its consequences are melting of polar ice ,raising the level of water in seas and oceans.This would cause flooding and submerging of many low lying areas.

Explain the term’ global warming’.

The combustion of fuels release carbondioxide in the environment. When the percentage of carbondioxide increases in the air and makes the earth surface hot – it is believed to cause global warming.

Bad Foreign Singers 2015

You guys must be feeling lucky! Three posts in one week! Where's my fan mail???

Every time I see something interesting, bizarre, or just plain terrible while channel surfing on the dish, I feel destined to hit the record button. One thing I've learned while watching foreign television is that everybody who doesn't sing in English cannot sing. Also, everybody who's Asian sings karaoke during every minute they're awake, whether they're selling herbal supplements or selling a karaoke machine. THEY HAVE TO SING. I can only guess that mandatory singing is a by-law in their cities.

Servant Leadership in Tech and How to Stay Sharp in Technology

As someone who grew up in a household where servant leadership was modeled well, this concept is what explains my leadership style.  However, as I grow in the field, I see that people come at this role with a few different things:

  • Solid technical understanding but not sure how to be a servant leader
  • Solid leadership skills and rusty technical skills

Because I have seen these and because I know my story is yet another perspective, I created a talk on servant leadership and presented it at CodeMash 2018.  The talk was recorded, and if it becomes available publicly, I will pass that information on.  These are my slides:

How do I personally stay sharp technologically while leading?

As I have mentioned in my personal blog, I am always afraid that doing talks like these will make me appear rusty tech-wise.  So I make sure that I set aside some time to pursue my own technical interests.  Whether this means I set time aside to read books, participate in conferences and events, or build new talks showcasing my new technical skills, I find that carving a little time out for me helps keep me sharp.

What am I currently working on?

My current play time involves exploring data science tools with a database of sensor readings for a setup we have at home.  I also am looking into “serverless” to see what this really means.  With regards to the data science tools, I have an ever-evolving presentation on R and Python in SQL Server, bringing the computation to the data.  With serverless, I attended a couple sessions at CodeMash 2018 on the concept and hope to play with the tools a bit more in the next few months.

How do I feel about managing people in a tech world?  Is servant leadership applicable?

Management and leadership are all about problem-solving, much like what development and IT work has been for me in my career.  The difference is that management and leadership are much heavier in being related to people rather than computers.  People and their relationships in the workplace can be difficult problems to solve.  However, I love including the sociological, psychological, and organizational factors in problem-solving and not just solving problems with lines of code and software.

As for servant leadership, I find it works well in tech.  Whether I was working with my tech support team, junior developers, IT folks, instructors, or others, I have always employed servant leadership techniques.  This is what allows me to work alongside my team in the trenches, getting to understand where they are coming from, and making sure they have the tools and support they need to be the best they can be.

We have some people we are promoting into leadership roles and know they are new leaders.  Can you help us?

Absolutely!  Contact me, and let’s talk about coaching engagements to make sure that your new leaders are equipped with the right skills and mentored as they start their leadership roles.

Dear Self: I Am Enough

Monday, November 14, 2016

As a stay at home mama I start to think a lot about how much I actually contribute to our family. And most of the time this begins with me thinking about contributing the money aspect of things. Since 2007 I have been a stay at home mama with the exceptions of working for two years once both my boys began grade school and my photography business on the side. I have to admit that during the time that I worked while my boys were in school I felt more accomplished as a mom while bringing in a paycheck and taking care of the kids and household chores. And then came news of bringing another life into the world. We were blessed with one more blessing...a baby girl! And then we got news that we would be relocated to Atlanta for my husband's job. So along with the baby girl and the big move to Atlanta came becoming a stay at home mama again.

Once again I started to think staying at home with my littles was not enough because now I was not bringing the income in that I had been contributing before. And then I was reminded that its not about the money. Its about the time, the effort, the love and so much more that we contribute to our families lives.

~While one may provide the financial part of taking care of the family that does not mean that they do not do enough in other ways of raising their family.
~While one may provide caring for the family by staying at home and little financial contribution to the family that does not mean that they do not do enough for the family.

Our babies depend on us for ALL things! It's not about the money or the material things. Keeping a routine schedule in place, making sure they get their favorite (and sometimes not so favorite) meals daily, teaching them daily, taking them to their soccer game or their gymnastics class, playing with them, discipling them, staying up with them while they are not feeling so well, kissing that scratch they got while playing to make it all feel better, wiping their tears and bringing that smile back to their faces, cuddling and watching their favorite movie with them....are just a few things to name that brings so much to not only those little ones that need you but it should also bring a sense of accomplishment to us mamas and a relief to know that our family is being taken care of in every way possible!

When you see that smile on our families faces, just know and always remember:

We are enough.

We do enough.

We have enough.

Launching sky high: Clovis athletes compete in Old Town street vault

By Valerie Shelton

: One pole vault competitor launches himself above the bar at the North American Pole Vaulting Association’s championships held in Old Town Clovis during the farmer’s market on July 24.
Photo by Ron Sundquist One pole vault competitor launches himself above the bar at the North American Pole Vaulting Association’s championships held in Old Town Clovis during the farmer’s market on July 24.

The desire to fly is a common dream for many, but a few Clovis athletes have soared to new heights, participating in the exhilarating track and field sport of pole vaulting.

For four Clovis natives, it doesn’t get much better then launching over the bar in front of packed crowd of onlookers at the Clovis Farmer’s Market.

On Friday, July 24, elite pole vaulters Brad Beekman and Mallory Gilbert along with high school contestants Nick Wilcots and Shelby Noble, did just that competing as part of Team Clovis in the North American Pole Vaulting Championships.

This was the first year Beekman, a 2013 Clovis East graduate and Cal Poly student, was able to compete in the street vault and he said it is a completely different atmosphere then he’s used to.

“When we have track meets its usually quiet or you have some chanting going on like ‘go Brad’ but when you run down the runaway it’s quiet until after you do the vault and it’s ‘oh, yeah’ if you get it or ‘ahh’ if you miss,” Beekman said. “In this atmosphere it’s loud music, yelling and depending on the person, some people really love it and do really good and some people shy away from it. I’ve never done an event like this.”

Beekman has been pole vaulting since he was in the 8th grade and loved vaulting at Clovis East. He currently vaults at Cal Poly, where he is majoring in Ag Business. At a young age, Beekman was involved in several sports but ultimately chose to stick with pole vaulting after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

“I did a ton of sports—football, baseball, wrestling—I did everything I could do but it was hard to manage it,” Beekman said. “Pole vault is an extreme thing and it’s fun but it was easier for me to manage because I could go do a jump and then I could leave and rest for a while before going and doing another jump.”

Like Beekman, recent Clovis West graduate Nick Wilcots will also be joining the vault team at Cal Poly in the fall. This is the second year Wilcots has competed in the Old Town Clovis street vault. He competed in 2014 and said his goal is to improve each time. The event, he said, brings people together.

“It’s during the farmer’s market so people can just come, grab some fruit and have a good time,” Wilcots said.

Beekman said its all about letting people in the community see what pole vaulting is all about.

“We’re trying to bring out as many people as we can and familiarize everyone with pole vaulting,” Beekman said. “You say pole vaulting to some people and they either don’t know what it is or they just think ‘oh, the thing with the stick,’ so we’re trying to promote pole vault awareness and let everyone have a good time.”

Incoming Clovis West senior Shelby Noble represented Team Clovis as the youngest member of the team. Like Beekman, this was also her first time competing in the street vault.

“I think this is a great experience and opportunity,” Noble said.

Rounding out Team Clovis was post-collegiate athlete Mallory Gilbert, a 2003 graduate of Clovis High School. Gilbert currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona, where she trains at the World Athletic Center. This was her second time competing in the Old Town Clovis street vault. She first competed on the Rising Stars Team in 2012.

“It’s fun to come back and be able to be one of the elites on the team,” Gilbert said. “It’s a really fun vault to vault at because unlike track meets where everyone is up in the stands, this one everyone is right around the pit and the noise level and energy level is extended so it just gives you more adrenaline and a better opportunity to rise high.”

Gilbert remembers being a spectator at the event when she was young.

“It’s been around for over 20 years now and I remember going to it as a kid and I think it’s always drawn a huge crowd and now that it has been going on this long it has the knowledge base so people plan for it and look forward to it,” Gilbert said.

Like most post-collegiate track and field athletes, Gilbert said her ultimate goal is to go to the Olympics, but she is taking everything one step at a time.

“I believe everyone who trains after college has that dream in mind of going to the Olympics even though the road ahead is tough and there is only that 0.5 percent of people who make the team but you have to dream big,” Gilbert said. “My next step in pursuing my dreams would definitely be to go to the U.S. trials. Our nation is one of the toughest trials to get into but I’d love to make it and from there be able to build on that.”

While none of Team Clovis’ competitors took home the top prize individually, as a group they earned fourth place among the eight teams, reaching 52 inches of height between the four of them.

In first place was Team Sacramento, with 58’4 inches, followed by Team Los Angeles with 57 inches, and Team Hanford with 55 inches. Other teams to compete were Team Provo (Utah), Team Reno (Nevada), Team Phoenix (Arizona) and Team Rising Stars, which consisted of athletes who didn’t make a city team, two of which were from the Clovis area—Buchanan’s Jenny Wilson and Fresno State’s Caroline Weaver.

Noble earned a second place nod among all the high school girls competing, earning 11’6 inches. The winner in the category was Brook Tjerrild of Clovis North, who competed with Team Hanford. Tjerrild reached 12 inches.

Wilcots came in sixth place in the high school boys’ category with a 12’6 vault. The top prize went to Jett Gordon of Team Los Angeles, with a vault of 16 inches.

In the elite women category, Gilbert came in fifth with 12 inches. The top spot went to Team Sacramento’s Brysun Stately, with 14’4 inches. Fresno State’s Caroline Weaver, who competed on the Rising Stars team, came in last place in the category with a 10’6 vault.

Among the elite men, first-time Clovis street vault competitor Brad Beekman, a Clovis East graduate now attending Cal Poly, vaulted to 16 inches, which while last place was only two inches away from top elite men’s vaulter Mike Arnold, who got 18 inches competing on Team Reno.

Business Organization of Old Town’s Carole Lester said the pole vault competition has been held in Old Town Clovis for the last 21 years now and is an event many residents and visitors look forward to each year.

“This is one of the most exciting events we have in Old Town Clovis and everyone talks about it,” Lester said.

Clovis Mayor Nathan Magsig said he is one of the many residents who loves to come out and cheer on Team Clovis and the other vaulters.

“I’ve been able to come out to this event for the last 15 years and I’m always impressed not only with the competitiveness but ultimately how much poise each athlete has,” Magsig said.

PCI DSS is not design to be attained like your Girl or Boy Scout Badge
Apr 20, 2009

I am currently working on writing a security chapter contribution, mostly around the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, for Ted Hart's new Nonprofit book due out in 2010. A very smart gentleman I know from Visa asked me to assure that people reading it knew that gaining and maintaining PCI DSS for their organization wasn't viewed as a Girl or Boy Scout Badge. So I intend to do just that. To drive home the point to corporate management so they understand that to avoid being compromised security is a daily process, 24/7, especially after you attain your PCI DSS or PA-DSS compliance certification!
The RBS and Heartland breach is fascinating as someone had to be asleep at the switch over there for criminals to load up malware into their systems to steal cardholder data. Hello, who was monitoring their systems and couldn't see what was going on. Daily log reviews are essential to finding the in's and out's of the Bad boys and girls and there are methodologies to see any wireless intrusions from within and without.
The toughest part of the PCI DSS compliance is your first compliance assessment. (I still find it interesting that in 2009, security 101 is still not being followed by so many organizations)! That is where you are going to spend the most amount of money on upgrades and education. After you become compliant you with your QSA would have put a strategic risk management plan in place to assure that you are monitoring your systems and applications 24/7 to assure that the criminals that are continually pounding away at you, can't gain access. The PCI DSS (Badge) of compliance is great when you attain it, but you have to make sure that security and privacy becomes a part of your corporate culture and daily monitoring to assure that your (Badge) stays current.

Payment applications and web-sites not coded to security standards, home computers, along with employees, bring some of the greates risks to our security today. I am amazed at just how many merchants are still not PCI DSS compliant when this program goes a long way to reducing criminal activity in both the physcial and online industries. It is obvious that more education or government intervention on security and privacy is required before we get buy in from business owners and nonprofit boards on PCI DSS.
Government's, Card Association's, merchants, and industry professionals must all work together if we want to get our industry locked down to minimize criminal activity.

Jul 25.08 | Ted Hart launches Green Nonprofits organization

"For years I've heard from nonprofits around the world of their interest to support and protect the environment. Because they did not perceive themselves to be experts, it was unclear what they could do to make a difference and still run a successful nonprofit/NGO. Today, GreenNonprofits, Inc. provides that answer; provides that path for every nonprofit around the world to make significant changes that when combined together will create a powerful force for the greening of this industry." - Ted Hart, CEO

GreenNonprofits was founded to be an accessible source of information about greening your nonprofit workplace, and to be a desktop tool for any nonprofit to become green[er].

As people and corporations around the world become more "green" they in turn expect the nonprofits they support to also take proactive steps to protect the environment. GreenNonprofits will lead the way in helping Nonprofits/NGOs around the world meet this challenge. "Ted Hart, CEO" read more

Bots, Bots, Baby.

All right stop. Collaborate and listen.

Here is my two cents on the bots space - and considering that I’ve created multiple messenger bots, messenger sequences and bot broadcasts…. I proceed with enthusiasm.

I suggest you climb aboard the bots band wagon, fast.

However, don’t put all of your eggs into the one Bot basket.

Bots, like all things social media are experimental.

The sooner you experiment, the sooner you can decided on whether to scale your Bot OR bin it all together.

There are two types of chatbots, one functions based on a set of rules (marketing bots), and the other more advanced version uses machine learning (customer service bots).

Marketing Messenger Bots are hosted with tools such as FlowXO, Chat fuel and Many Chat. These bots are VERY effective and also limited. It can only respond to very specific commands.

Custom (AI) Bots has an artificial brain AKA artificial intelligence. This bot continuously gets smarter as it learns from conversations it has with people. Custom Bots are designed to provide users with a personalised experience.

See Boost Juice and Expedia for examples of these.

Messenger Bots

For the everyday businesses looking to approach automated messaging space - setting up a basic message assistant and welcome message is a great start.

This can be set up directly inside of Facebook in just a few clicks.

Taking your Bot to the next level involves a slightly juicier process.

Building a messenger bot on a 3rd party platform that can deliver your lead magnet, follow up messenger sequence essentially nurturing the lead through the sales process (think email sequence) THIS is a GOLDEN opportunity.

A popular program for to develop this process and host the bot is ManyChat.

For anything above and beyond the realms of delivering marketing messages - you’ll need a Custom Bot.

A Custom Bot is tricky to execute and require the expertise of a Facebook Developer and a sizeable investment.

Something all Bots have in common is the need for a creative agency who understands your brand and the social media landscape and how to develop the foundations of your Bot strategy.

TIP: You should not be spending tens of thousands on having a bot built - unless its custom.

You do not need a custom bot UNLESS you require custom element and/or large party data analytics.

Bots can be simple. However, it's not just the execution of the Bot that requires effort but the time dedicated to learning the process itself.

If you have an abundance of free time (and let’s be honest who does) building a Messenger Bot is well within your capabilities.

But smart people hire other people to do things like this - trust me.

What’s working now

Facebook Traffic Ads > Bot > Lead Magnet Delivery

Bot Messenger Sequences

Hybrid Bot + Human Experiences

So go ahead and launch you Bot but don’t over complicate the process, create a game plan that saves money, time and stress.

Hard landing risks surface after a period of very high growth

Turkey’s economy recorded a solid growth rate of 7.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2018, mainly backed by private consumption and investments, and partly by public spending. In 2016, the Turkish economy experienced a series of shocks, such as a failed coup attempt, sharp depreciation of the lira and severe external and domestic security issues. In order to counter negative spill overs of these shocks on the economy, the authorities introduced a series of stimulation packages in 2017 that have fuelled private consumption and investment. However, the strong resulting growth performance has exacerbated existing imbalances, stirring double-digit inflation, a sharp devaluation of the Turkish lira, and a wider current account deficit. In May 2018, the central bank held an emergency meeting and hiked its late liquidity window interest rate by 300 basis points to 16.5%, and raised it again by 125 basis points to 17.75% in June 2018. This tightening will likely weigh on domestic demand, which in turn will impact domestic-driven sectors’ performances. The pace of growth could also lose momentum due currency weakness, lower purchasing power trimmed by high inflation.[IS1] .

In early 2017, the government introduced a countercyclical measure in a bid to support economic activity. It increased the size of the Credit Guarantee Fund (CGF) to ease small and medium companies’ access to financing. The size of the fund was raised to TRY 250 billion. In 2018, the size of the CGF was expanded by another TRY 55 billion to further support exports and investments. In the first four months of 2018, Turkish exports rose by 8.6% from the same period a year earlier. However, as exports are dependent on imported inputs, imports jumped by 20.8% over the same period, and the trade deficit widened by 56.2% to USD 27.4 billion. The coverage rate of imports by exports declined to 66.7% in January-April 2018, down from 74.3% a year earlier. Moreover, rising energy prices also add to the country’s import bill. This wider trade deficit has resulted in a larger current account deficit, which attained USD 55.4 billion on a 12-month rolling basis in March 2018. [IS2]

A continued depreciation of the lira remains the main risk for Turkey’s highly import-dependent economy in the near future. Non-financial private sector’s short-term foreign currency denominated debt stood at USD 50.5 billion as of the first quarter of 2018.Any additional weakness of the lira would increase both the debt burden and the costs of imported inputs for the manufacturing sector. The current inflationary environment suggests that interest rates will remain at very high levels (around 19% for both commercial and individual loans) for some time. Further rate hikes by the central bank to counter the currency weakness and inflationary pressures would again add to borrowing costs. This scenario would deteriorate the cash flow situation of Turkish companies, which suffer from structural undercapitalisation.

Twin deficits: A cause of concern

Fiscal policy has become more expansionary due to temporary tax cuts, expanded public services, and employment incentives. Off-balance sheet stimulus measures represent upside risks to debt levels if the government had to take on the liabilities mostly linked to the public guarantees given under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. Although the expansionary fiscal policy is likely to be gradually scaled back in 2018, the deficit may continue to remain high ahead of the local elections[FD3] [IS4]  in March 2019. Fiscal revenues are largely based on consumption, so an economic downturn and/or weaker domestic consumption would decrease government revenues accordingly. Despite all of this, the public balance sheet currently remains healthy.

While promoting banks’ lending, the government CGF programme pushed the banking sector’s loan-to-deposit ratio to 121% as of May 2018. However, due to the limited size of domestic savings, Turkey’s economy relies heavily on external financing. While the increase in energy prices will likely widen the current account deficit, the structural lack of savings will continue to be the economy’s Achilles’ heel in the years ahead. The reliance on short-term capital inflows for current account deficit financing leaves the country exposed to markets’ mood. Monetary tightening strategies of the major central banks and rising regional tensions may quickly reduce investors’ confidence, meaning foreign direct investments may remain limited.

Lower political uncertainty after the June 2018 election

In April 2018, Turkey had presidential and parliamentary elections. The country’s long-standing [FD5] [IS6] leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan (since 2002) has secured a new five-year term with nearly 53% of the votes. The country will now shift into the executive presidency system from the parliamentary system. In the parliamentary contest, the ruling AKP took 43% of the votes while its allies MHP got 11%. Political noise has decreased since the elections. However there is a possibility for the local elections initially scheduled in March 2019 to be held earlier.

In this context, international investors will pay particular attention to the ability of the new Administration to maintain economic and financial stability. A sharp depreciation of the lira due to a negative shift in investor sentiment would weigh heavily on corporate sector and extend payment terms, as the economy is dependent on imports and foreign funds. Such a situation would put under risk the financial stability and the sustainability of growth performance.

Last update : June 2018

Traditional credit payment instruments are still in common use in Turkey’s domestic market, as they not only constitute a means of payment, but also often serve as negotiable instruments.

This is the case for promissory notes, a solution regularly used by smaller and medium-sized companies for commercial transactions. Similarly, post-dated cheques are another commonplace practice, as they serve as both a title of payment and a credit instrument. Cheques circulate in the domestic market as negotiable instruments until their maturity date.

The most recent law concerning cheques, which came into force in December 2009, focuses on the protection of the rights of cheque holders (beneficiaries). The law covers three categories of cheques – cheques for business users, cheques for consumers, and pre-printed bearer cheques – with the aim being to optimise tracking of cheques as a payment instrument and combat the underground economy.

Although banks are now required to exercise greater vigilance with regard to the profiles of their clients, the law also provides for large financial sanctions, which are payable by the drawer of the cheque in cases of non-payment.

An amendment, which came into effect on 15 July 2016, imposes a punitive fine on the person responsible for a “dishonoured transaction”. If the fine is not paid, the punitive measure can be transformed into a prison sentence of up to 1,500 days. In such cases, neither settlement nor prepayment are executed. In addition, the drawer of a dishonoured cheque is subsequently banned from drawing cheques or opening cheque accounts for ten years, by order of the court (an administrative, rather than a penal sanction).

For rapid and secure processing of bank transfers, the SWIFT electronic network is well-established in Turkish banking circles and constitutes the most commonly used instrument for international payments.

Debt Collection

There are three separate procedures in Turkey for pursuing debt payments:

1. Amicable Procedures

2. Debt Execution Procedures (provided by an Administrative Body)

3. Litigation Procedures (examined by the Court)

1. Amicable Procedure

Out of court settlements are always preferable to taking legal action. Amicable procedures, which involve the sending of a formal notice to pay, followed by repeated telephone calls, remain a relatively effective method. On-site visits can also pave the way for restoring communications between suppliers and customers, thereby enhancing the chances of completing successful negotiations. Points of negotiation include the number of instalments, guarantees, collaterals, grace periods and interest. The civil procedure code specifically states that the judge may at any time during legal action encourage the amicable settlement of the dispute, provided that it results from a real desire by the parties to seek an out-of-court settlement via a negotiated transaction.

The “Law on Mediation in Civil Disputes” stipulates that mediation shall be applied only in the resolution of private law conflicts (including those with an international element) arising from acts or transactions of interested parties who have the capacity to settle such conflicts.

The parties involved design their own solutions in an environment conducive to mutual understanding. Mediation relies on a process of communications, via meetings and negotiations. While the parties create their own solution framework, an impartial and independent third party (a mediator) enables them to establish communications, hold meetings and generally develop better understanding of each other.

The parties are free to apply to a mediator at any time, in order to continue, finalise or abandon the process. The parties can also apply to a mediator before filing a lawsuit, or while a lawsuit is pending. The court may also advise and encourage the parties to apply to a mediator.

Depending on the debtor’s solvency, the terms of the transaction can range from payment in full, to repayment by instalments, to a partial payment as final settlement. In the absence of a voluntary settlement, the threat of a bankruptcy petition (iflâs) is a frequently employed tactic to elicit a response from the debtor and prompt them to pay the arrears.

2. Debt Execution Procedure, via an Administrative Body

There are particular advantages for creditors who use negotiable instruments such as bills of exchange, promissory notes and cheques – provided they have been duly established and that any legal action is taken within the legal limitation period. These instruments enable creditors (without obtaining a prior ruling) to directly approach the enforcement office (Icra Dairesi) for serving the debtor with an injunction to pay. They can then, if necessary, proceed with the seizure of the debtor’s assets.

Seizure is a process that begins with filling an order for payment, which is then served to the debtor. If there are no objections to the order, the assets of the debtor are liquidated to cover the claims. If the order is not accepted by the debtor, he has the possibility to request that the creditor proves the claim in court.

The debtor has ten days to settle the arrears in question, or five days to approach the enforcement court and oppose payment on grounds that, for example, the signature on the document is not his own, or that the debt no longer exists. If the opposition is deemed to be abusive, the debtor is liable to large penalties.

3. Litigation Procedure, examined by the Court.

If the pre-legal procedures for the collection of the debt from the partner/supplier fail, a lawsuit can be brought against the debtor before commercial courts. The commercial court (asliye ticaret mahkemeleri), which is a specialised chamber of the court of first instance, is competent to hear commercial disputes and insolvency proceedings. Commercial courts exist in the main Turkish cities.

In cases where the validity of the claim is disputed, the only recourse is to initiate ordinary proceedings, via a summons, to appear in court.

If Turkey has not signed a bilateral treaty or a reciprocity treaty with the plaintiff’s country, the plaintiff is required to put up a surety bond, judicatum solvi, with the competent local court. This amount represents approximately 15% of the claim. The same pertains to Turkish applicants with no permanent residence in Turkey. At the end of the litigation procedure, the security deposit is refunded to the creditor by the court. The reason for the surety bond is to protect the debtor against potential damages by foreign entities during the procedure.

The plaintiff is also obliged to put up one quarter of the court fees, which are proportional to the amount of the claim, at the commencement of the proceedings. In addition, notarised documents must be presented to the court, including the contract signed between the parties (if available) and the invoices due (translated into Turkish by a certified translator, if the documents are drafted in a foreign language).

Claims need be filed with details including the name of the court, the names and addresses of the creditor and the debtor (along with the details of their attorneys or legal representatives), the amount due, the circumstances of the claim, the content of the demand, public taxes and costs, the power of attorney (if necessary) and the signature of the person making the claim.

Ordinary proceedings are organised into three phases. The first involves position statements from each party (a statement of claim and a statement of defence). In the second and lengthier phase, the court investigates the case and examines the relevance of the evidence submitted, to see whether it is conclusive or discretionary evidence. Finally, in the main hearing that constitutes the third phase, the court hears both parties and their lawyers before issuing a ruling.

The new civil procedure code, effective since 1st October 2011, was designed to accelerate and simplify proceedings, in order to combat lengthy lawsuits and reduce the workload for courts. The parties need to submit their defence arguments, counter claims and available evidence at the commencement of the trial. These documents are reviewed by the court during a preliminary hearing, during which the parties will be encouraged to reach a compromise.

The examination and cross examination of the litigants is now conducted by lawyers, in order to discharge judges who previously had a strong tendency to resort to expert opinions to assist them with their judgments. The new code also limits the list of technical and scientific experts that can be registered with the Ministry of Justice.
