The Cliff Notes Version: Attorney / Content Strategist PamG      (a/k/a writesquire)

Put my 15+ years of professional persuasive experience to work for you. This solutions provider knows juries, appellate judges, and web visitors share a common trait: they relish an engaging story. Stewing quality content into digestible pieces yields an enjoyable feast. Delighting the reader forms a premier step in conversion messaging.

The Hallmarks of Intense Client Focus

Walking the talk includes:

  • securing state Supreme Court reversals, on the strength of written words alone;
  • finding the needle in a research haystack, wielded to wed success to the client’s quest;
  • scrutinizing reams of documents to marshal facts / law, as a requisite to conjuring and drafting persuasive strategic documents;
  • freelance writing for attorneys, whether court filing or site / blog posting;
  • freelance writing for small businesses, after studying the client’s website and researching likely search queries to devise conversion messaging;
  • working with teams to ensure prompt deliverables (humor stands as a infectious weapon when “in the trenches”)
  • advising CEOs and inmates, as well as folks falling between the two extremes; and,
  • implementing innovative solutions for vexing problems.

Resolving a StateWide Problem, from the Ground Up

My 1990’s award-winning (pre-Google) labor of love, dpg-law.com, provided a freely searchable database of Pennsylvania judicial opinions, then available only in the web-hostile WordPerfect format.

A strong believer in giving back, I also provided intricate research trails for non-lawyers per topics of focus. The “unique approach” taught non-attorneys, through hands-on examples, how to find authoritative data on the issue concerned.

Let’s face it: working with attorneys, pacing before juries, and answering a court’s pointed questions requires a steady temperament, a measure of acting skills, intellectual curiosity, and outright determination. Translation to the web context witnesses dedication to a client’s goals through daily learning excursions, culminating in the polished manipulation of words blended with tech familiarity:

  • writing reflecting SEO best practices
  • editing, with constructive feedback
  • ghostwriting, with your delighted satisfaction serving as applause
  • proofreading, to ensure your polished presentation
  • determined digging into HTML & CSS, to cement a craved visual result
  • listening to needs stated, to discern needs unstated
  • nodding to Murphy’s Law, via consistent pre-deadline submissions
  • taming social media nuances (e.g. an image’s alt tag = Pinterest’s BFF)
  • resolving stubborn WordPress “features” (yes, you CAN disguise the live links produced by the display-post feature; see the  Editorial Calendar)
  • devoting fastidious care to the appearance, grammar, and tone of the final product

I write for a simple reason: I love it!

Me, personally? My joyful obsessions include bird photography (InstaGram), Japanese stationery, and gadgets. We lost our 4-legged family member to brain tumors. Since then, a little pointy-headed cockatiel named D.K. (DarbyKlan 😉) coaxes daily smiles. Family? Yep. Mostly off limits as regards this blog.

Sustainability Matters

The Battle at Exxon Was About More Than Board Seats

It brings shareholder-driven climate governance to the forefront.

Mentioned: , , ,

It’s very rare that corporate proxy elections make front-page news, but the shareholder vote at Exxon (XOM) last week was a notable exception, and for good reason.

Against the recommendation of Exxon’s own executives, two candidates were elected to the energy giant’s board immediately following the initial vote tally, and on June 2 the election of a third was confirmed. They join on a pledge to push the company away from a business model focused on climate-damaging fossil fuel, and toward a greater focus on renewable energy.

The Essential Holiday Guide to Chicago

November 21, 2017

There’s nowhere quite like Chicago to spend the holidays. The second city is absolutely buzzing with events, must-sees and must-dos when the season rolls around. Whether you’re spending the winter holidays with family or a significant other, Chicago has no shortage of sights, smells and ways to make this magical time of year even more magical. Pay attention and take notes from our Essential Holiday Guide to Chicago to make the most of your holiday in the windy city.

Ice Skating in Millennium Park

Millennium Park, home of the famous Cloud Gate (“The bean” to locals), transforms into a winter wonderland as the temperatures plunge. In the midst of a myriad of lights lies the famous Millennium Park skating rink, which is set up and torn down at the beginning and end of every winter. Strap on a pair of skates and take a few laps with family, friends or that special someone before warming up with some cocoa or coffee from a nearby cafe.

See the Tree

Less than a ten minute walk away from Millennium Park’s seasonal ice rink is Chicago’s main visual spectacle for the holiday season: a massive Christmas tree.  The tree for this year’s celebration stands an impressive sixty-two feet tall, and will remain lit until January 6th. If possible, go early on a weekday evening to avoid the crowds and get the perfect holiday photo in front of the tree, and don’t forget to surprise your date with one of our flower arrangements for an extra dash of romance.

Ride the Holiday Car

Chicago’s “L” train can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go in the city. During the holidays, this Chicago staple can also take you to the North Pole on Saturday, December 17th. Decked out with elves, twinkling lights, holiday cheer and the man in red himself, you can join the fun via the train’s red and purple line trains. Grab a selfie with Santa or enjoy a candy cane from one of his helpers as you ride through the city to your next destination. Visit the Chicago Transit Authority’s website for a detailed schedule

Grab Hot Chocolate in Bucktown

There are endless places for hot chocolate in Chicago, but nobody does it quite like James Beard Foundation Award winner Mindy Segal. Mindy’s Hot Chocolate is a restaurant on Chicago’s West Side which is completely centered around – you guessed it – hot chocolate. Grab a cup of the tried-and-true or branch out with one of their many varieties of hot chocolates, desserts and savory fine dining options.

Catch a Musical

Seeing a musical certainly isn’t an entertainment option exclusive to Chicago; however, during the holiday season, you’ll have the unique opportunity to be a part of history. This holiday season, Chicago’s Goodman Theatre will be running A Christmas Carol for its 40th consecutive year. This musical has drawn 1.5 million spectators through the doors of the Goodman, and it one of the city’s most heralded events to get you in the holiday spirit.

Whether it’s your first time spending the holidays in Chi-Town or you’ve lived here for 20 years, catch these musts for a yule season that you’ll never forget!

Lack of women in top management roles in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands 11% of all senior management positions are occupied by women.

Trouw likens the Netherlands to an emirate when it comes to the number of women in top management positions. (I believe they intend that to be an insult, which would be interesting in itself.) For comparison, the United Arab Emirates also sits at 11%. Since this year corporations and government agencies in the UAE are required to have women on their boards.

Of the developed countries (for want of a better word) only Japan fares worse. It has 7% women in management roles. The most emancipated country in the world is China with 51% of all big bosses being women. In fact the top ten of countries has seven nations in it that either are or used to be communist. (The word ‘socialist’ and ‘communist’ are oddly lacking from the Grant Thornton report (PDF) that Trouw bases its article on.)

Dutch women do not seem to be very interested in having careers, although they do like having the opportunity of having careers. In 2010 the United Nations voted the Netherlands the most gender equal country in the world.

(Illustration: public domain version of the symbol of feminism, via Wikimedia Commons)

Report - - Croft ROC Post- Yorkshire Group | ROC Posts | 28DaysLater.co.uk

Report - Croft ROC Post- Yorkshire Group

28DL Full Member
28DL Full Member
The sidekick at work had been dropping hints and anecdotes about this sort of stuff for months now. So, with ever increasing interest some research into ROC posts revealed one not far away.

A quick reconnoitre during lunchtime and it was found but we had a teleconference, or some other such nonsense, to get back to work for and going down there Ã¢â‚¬Ëœbusiness casualÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t really on. There are enough clues in this account and around the site to find out which one, and where it is, and surely thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s half the fun of the chase.

ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s been well reported on before so maybe hereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s some finer detail on a few odds Ã¢â‚¬ËœnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ ends found a few days later.

These shafts really are a tad deeper than IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d expected.

ThereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a surprising amount of stuff lying around. The map was missing from the wall on the right, and much wailing ensued over that.

I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know where my common sense was when I though these were petrol cans, but I guess that drinking water had to be held in something. Good to see the label that showed someone had refreshed it every two or three years as well.

So many depressing documents and forms to fill in, lying around the place. Most of them dealing with how much Ã¢â‚¬ËœdoseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ the occupants had been subjected to or referencing blast information and fallout. This would always have been a real fun job.

Especially since thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s another one of those steam locomotive pictures lurking beneath the Ground Zero Indicator paper. ThereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re more of them on the wall and the floor. Imagine reading that paper and trying to fill out the latest bomb blast info and updating your dose records, only to be reminded that youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re stuck in this Hobbit hole for the rest of your life with rusty tea and a train spotter. I do admire some blokeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s insistence on trying to make the place a little more homely but he was probably trying to recreate the interior visage of some memory distorted caravanning holiday when he was a young lad, and to be an engine driver was the pinnacle of WW2 manhood next to being a Spitfire pilot, of course.

Ah, and as for these NBC boots. What the blazes did they expect these things to do? Half your face might be dripping off but at least your loafers wonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have your own flesh plopping all over them. It took some fathoming just to unfold the things and find where your foot needed to go. Even then, I doubt the brambles outside would have much trouble ripping these into something resembling seaweed.

AnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ another thing, how small does a mini cooker really need to be? You might cook a tiny tin oÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ beans on this but youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve had you aint warming any pizza. If I translate that Spanish correctly, this is a Ã¢â‚¬Ëœmini little ovenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ and your average toreador aint cookinÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ no paella either. Maybe itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s this size so that you canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t make anything hot enough to melt any holes in the NBC boots.

This odd upside down socket made us think there was an external power supply for this post. There was said to be a brick structure nearby but the overgrowth made it tricky to get to.

I rampaged through the brambles like a midget armadillo whilst buddy boy waltzed around the outside and through the gate like any civilised country gent ought to do. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s bricked up, but thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s enough room to stick that camera through. It might have been generator room. ThereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a steel tube that might have been an exhaust pipe, coming out from the roof eave on one side and what looks like marks from an old base frame on the floor.

That wrapped it up for the day. And remember, the hat stays in the picture.

A born-and-raised Texan and an Alaskan native came together to bring you 3 Vino Winery: a unique venue where you can experience a remarkable wine selection in comfortable surroundings.   We believe your wine experience should be memorable, fun and creative.  Not off-putting or mysterious. That's why we frequently have wine tasting events. A 3rd generation master cigar-roller also joins us regularly and you can even play cornhole on the patio while listening to live music.

Although we have magnificent cheese and charcuterie trays and famous chocolate truffles, we do not have a full kitchen.  Instead, we're committed to supporting our local Roanoke restaurant neighbors and we encourage you to order delivery to the winery or pick it up on your way!

We enjoy talking about wine and one of our favorite conversations is about our wine-on-tap system.  It is the centerpiece of our menu and one we're intensely proud of. We have 8 varietals on tap and would welcome the opportunity to introduce you to this hidden gem in The Unique Dining Capital of Texas®

We have local domestic and international varietals for you to enjoy in a flight, by the glass or  bottle.  Need a bottle for dinner or a gift?  Come see us first - we're your neighborhood Bottle Shop! From small boutique wines to large production vintages,  we can help you select the perfect bottle.

What's the most common question we receive?  "Why is it called 3 Vino?"  Because two sounded trite and four is crowded, of course!

So, come Swirl, Nibble, and Relax at Roanoke's first winery & wine shop. You'll like us for our great wine selection; you'll love us for our exemplary customer service and charming vibe.

Call the Midwife Creator Talks About Thwarting Early Doubters

Heidi Thomas

When a television series is being created, no one can really say for sure whether or not it will be able to successfully connect with a sizeable audience. Of course, ratings often dictate the fate of a series, regardless of its quality. For “Call the Midwife,” it’s been fortunate enough to not just be revered by audiences, but also applauded by critics. That said, early external expectations didn’t jive with what has become reality.

“For a very long time before we started to film it, people told us nobody would watch it,” recalled series creator Heidi Thomas while speaking with Stuff. “They used to say young women will be frightened by it, older women will be disgusted by it, men won’t watch it at all, and I used to think, ‘Well, nobody will watch this show.’”

Despite this very premature estimation, “Call the Midwife” triumphed out of the gate.

Reflected Thomas: “The very first time [the series] went out, we got eight million overnight viewers in the U.K., and I think we were in a sort of shock.”

Call the Midwife - S5E1

Thomas went on to explain that the ratings for “Call the Midwife” have “held steady” for six years, but that’s not what it’s all about for her.

“It’s the passion that people feel for the show and for the stories that we’re telling,” offered Thomas. “Our remit at ‘Call The Midwife’ is to give a voice to people who have experienced great and beautiful and terrible things, and never had a voice before.”

In terms of what has kept viewers coming back for more, Thomas believes “Call the Midwife” is a series that can be casually appreciated – with a glass of wine in-hand – for its aesthetic value and “the lovely music.” But, you can also go a different way.

Call the Midwife S5E6

“You can dig a little bit deeper, looking at the social history, the prejudices that were involved, the difficulties people had before society became as it is today,” said Thomas. “You can even go down to the deepest level where we are telling stories about the human condition, and you can really engage with that – not just matters of society or medicine, but matters of human existence, life, death and birth.

“You can dig down as deeply as you want to,” she added. “But we don’t make you work that hard if you really just need to be cradled for an hour.”

Bitcoin: A P2P Digital Cash System

A Comprehensive Guide On Bitcoin

Blockchain is the tech. Bitcoin is merely the first mainstream manifestation of its potential.
Marc Kenigsberg, founder of Bitcoin Chaser

Once upon a time, there was an anonymous person or a group of persons named Satoshi Nakamoto, who, in 2008, published a paper on the cryptography discussing the bitcoin digital currency. The paper was titled ‘Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System’. His objective was to produce a means of exchange, which is free of any central authority and could be transferred digitally in a secure, provable and unchangeable.

Satoshi released the first bitcoin software in January 2009 with the launch of the first units of the bitcoin cryptocurrency, called bitcoins. It is an open-source project. Soon, people started to take an interest in it and how it can help them make a fortune with minimal investment.

And one day, the person or group of persons disappeared into the thin air. It has been a crazy 11 years since the release of Bitcoin and the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto remains unsolved. Today, he is regarded as a philosophical godfather of all other cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin.

Bitcoin in detail

A decentralized form of digital cash, Bitcoin eliminates the need for mediators like banks and governments to make transactions. Besides, Bitcoin is powered through a combination of peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. The system is simple and organized.

Call us Now! – 18889087930

As stated by Peter Diamandis (Founder and chairman of the X prize foundation), “At its core, bitcoin is a smart currency, designed by very forward-thinking engineers. It eliminates the need for banks, gets rid of credit card fees, currency exchange fees, money transfer fees, and reduces the need for lawyers in transition 1… all good things.”

How does bitcoin work?

Imagine bitcoin as a computer file that is stored in a digital wallet on a computer or smartphone via mobile application. To know how bitcoin works, you need to understand a few of the important terms:

Blockchain: Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger that records the source of a digital asset. Bitcoin is powered by the blockchain. Each of the transaction is a ‘block’ connected to the code and hence, a permanent record of each transaction is created.

Private & Public Keys: Bitcoins, as well as Altcoins, are built upon public-key cryptography that uses two keys: Public keys (publicly known and essential for identification) and Private keys (these are kept secret and used for verification and encryption).

Bitcoin Miners: Chances are that with the term ‘mining’, your mind must be wandering to the deserted lands and pickaxes, dirt and toiling. But the analogy is too far. The miners support new transactions and record them on the global ledger. Its different functions are issuing of new bitcoins, confirming transactions and securing them.

How does bitcoin mining work?

Bitcoin has no central government. With Bitcoin, miners use special software to solve math equations and in turn, they are issued a certain number of bitcoins in exchange. This offers a smart way of issuing the currency. It even creates an incentive for more people to mine. Some of the top Bitcoin mining hardware are AntMiner S7, AntMiner S9, and Avalon6.

What are the benefits of Bitcoin?

Some of the awesome benefits of Bitcoin are:-

Private and secured transactions anytime
You can transfer Bitcoin anytime, anywhere. BTC transactions do not hold any personal information like a name or credit card number. This reduces the risk of stealing consumer information for fraudulent purchases or identity theft.

Low transactional fees
Presently, there are either no or very low fees within Bitcoin payments. In order to process the transactions faster, users might include the fee accordingly. The higher the fee, the more are the chances to get the transaction processed quickly.

Quick and cheap transactions
The transfer fee of a Bitcoin is quite low as compared to conventional methods of moving money. A general fee of Bitcoin is 0.0005 BTC/transfer. For a typical international wire transfer, you could be asked to pay 700THB-1300THB/transaction. Paying with credit cards will cost about 3-5% of the transfer amount.

Please note that the international wire transfers can take at most a week. On the other hand, Bitcoin transactions are usually confirmed with an hour.

Fewer risks for merchants

Given that bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, do not hold your personal information and are secure, merchants are secured from potential losses. Even in the case of high crime and fraud rates, the merchants can do business with Bitcoin (works on a public ledger known as the blockchain).

What is the blockchain? A look at the basics.

The blockchain is a type of database used for recording transactions. Once a transaction occurs, it is copied to all of the systems in a participating network. This is commonly known as a ‘distributed ledger’. In blockchain, the data is stored in ‘blocks’.

The two main features of these ‘blocks’ are:

Content: Content is basically a list of instructions, digital assets (transactions made), the amounts and addresses of the users to those transactions.
Header: It is the reference number of a unique block (the time the block was created, and a link to the previous block).

On the other hand, Blockchain mining is a process that validates new transactions. Why would anyone mine blockchain? Mone! It’s true that you can build a fortune by mining Blockchain. Moreover, it depends on your mining capacity. To mine, you need some resources such as Computational Hardware, Cooling System, Electricity, and Maintenance. Always remember that the more powerful your mining capacity will be, the more money you will make.

What is the miner fee and does Coinbase pay it?

The outgoing transactions bring about a ‘mining’ or ‘network’ charges to make sure that the transactions are processed on digital currency networks. The fee is directly paid to the cryptocurrency miners.
Coinbase collects and pays these fees directly. Coinbase will charge you a fee based on its valuation of the network transaction fees. The fee may differ in some circumstances and the fees charged will be shown at the time of your transaction.

P.S: Coinbase does not charge network fees for digital currency transfers from one Coinbase wallet to another.

Concluding Up

Though it has some disadvantages as well, Bitcoin is still the most preferred cryptocurrency. Before you commence, understand what it is, and what are your requirements.

Do note that Satoshi Nakamoto’s original paper is still recommended for reading for anyone to know what is Bitcoin and how it works.

Here’s Ashton Kutcher’s Phone Number…Seriously!

Ashton Kutcher Tweets out His Phone Number Ashton Kutcher wanted to get closer with his fans so bad he actually tweeted out his phone number and asked fans to text him.  “I miss having a real connection w/real people. My community. From now on you can just text me,” Kutcher tweeted.

The number he gave out — 319-519-0576 — shows that, despite decamping for Hollywood several decades ago, he still maintains a very real connection to the eastern Iowa region where he was raised.

At first, fans thought they were getting “Punk’d,” but when they realized it was real they flooded Kutcher’s phone with messages.  Kutcher later deleted the original post and told fans that his phone had been overwhelmed  with messages, but he would “repost soon.”

Would you ever give out your number on social media? If you could get one celebrity’s number who would it be?

Science Beyond Borders

About the Project

Science, technology, and innovation require a diversity of talent that includes international perspectives and collaboration. AAAS seeks to highlight the contributions of foreign-born scientists to the scientific enterprise in the United States, understand the challenges faced by immigrant scientists in the U.S., and engage diverse stakeholders to address these challenges.

National security concerns about potential threats to research integrity posed by foreign influence combined with inflammatory rhetoric and recent changes to immigration policies have led some international students and scientists to feel stigmatized and concerned about their future. Yet scientists in the United States—whether they be citizens, residents, or visitors—overwhelmingly agree that science is globally interconnected.

Tell Us Your Story

In the first phase of this project—Science Beyond Borders—we need to hear directly from YOU. If you are an immigrant or non-immigrant scientist who is or has been practicing or studying in the United States, we want to hear your story. If your research involves international collaboration, we want to hear from you. And if you are concerned about your future in the U.S., tell us. As an example, read the story of AAAS President Steven Chu.

Foreign-born professionals have been making huge contributions to science and technology in America and have helped in a major way to make the United States the strongest country in the world.” said Jan Vilcek, Emeritus Professor of Microbiology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and Chairman and CEO of the Vilcek Foundation. “Shutting the doors to a free exchange of scientists is short-sighted and contrary to our own national interest.

In the second phase of this project, AAAS will engage leaders in the U.S. federal government and academic institutions along with immigrant and non-immigrant scientists, including early-career scientists. We will consider ways that various stakeholders can support immigrant scientists studying and working in the U.S. during this time of rapidly changing immigration and international travel policies and broad geopolitical shifts. The latter phase of this project will be informed by the first, so we need to hear from you!

AAAS thanks Jan and Marica Vilcek and the Vilcek Foundation for their generous support that makes this work possible.

Are you a U.S. citizen (including naturalized citizen) whose scientific work involves international collaboration?

Are you a foreign-born scientist who is currently or has previously practicing or studying in the U.S.?

Headcase Headshots

Story Sent in by Claudia:

Sergei and I met up for our first lunch date at an outdoor cafe. About five minutes into it, he produced a looseleaf portfolio and flipped it open on the table.

It was filled with various headshots of him, in different poses and with different expressions, some in black and white, some in color.

"Pick one out," he said.

I didn't really want any of them. What was I going to do with a headshot of a guy I had only just met? I picked one out. He said, "Not that one. I like that one too much. Pick another."

I picked another, and he pulled it out of its plastic protective sleeve. He pulled out a pen, autographed it, and handed it to me. "Thanks," I said, and slipped it into my purse.

He winked and said, "Usually I charge."

I asked him, "There's that much of a demand for your autograph?" I neglected to mention that Sergei worked as an assistant manager in an upscale men's clothing store.

He replied, "Some customers occasionally ask. I probably look like a movie star, and I might get discovered if I keep working there, so I figure it's smart to keep these around." He glanced at his headshot collection.

When the waitress came by, he gave one to her. He also gave a set of two out to a nearby dining couple. Once our food had been delivered, he took a bite and said, "This is delicious!" He flagged the waitress down, asked her to send the manager over to our table, and when the manager arrived, Sergei gave her high praise and yet another autographed photo.

When she ambled off, Sergei said to me, "Who knows who she knows, or who else dines here. You never know, right?"

"Right," I agreed.

The kicker came after the meal. Sergei and I were walking down the street, on what I promised myself would be a very short post-lunch stroll, when we passed a police officer. Sergei handed the officer a headshot, smiled, and quipped, "Maybe throw this up on a wanted sign."

The officer looked down at the photo, up at Sergei, and said, "I don't think that's wanted, sir. Have a good Saturday," and continued on. Sergei watched after him, frowned, and replaced the photo in his binder. I made some excuse and returned home to recycle the photo he had given me.

  1. I think "movie stars" (actors) are still required to have a minimum of dramatic skill, but Sergei didn't say what he wanted to be "discovered" for... maybe a boy band?

  2. I like that the cop had a sense of humor about it.

  3. If I remember my myths correctly, the life of Narcissus is a lonely life, just him and his portfolio/pool of water forever.

  4. ^I think it was him and Echo and only until he starved to death.

  5. ^ Or fell in the pool and drowned, as some sources say. I always imagined he tried to kiss his reflection:

    "Look how hot I am. Who wouldn't want to kiss me? I want to kiss me! C'mere you - WAH!"

  6. Yes because the drowning version makes so much more sense. As everyone knows Narcissus was the direct ancestor of the wicked witch so he died the instant he hit the water instead of, I don't know, standing up or climbing out. Yep, drowned in a pool.

  7. ^ Uh, I never said you were wrong. Greek mythology very rarely makes sense, like, you know, Athena bursting out of Zeus's head or three-headed monsters? Who's to say this pool was shallow or that he could even swim? Anyway, I was just mentioning that there's a different version. No need to get a stick up your ass over it. :-/

  8. I'm not getting a stick.... I was only trying to stress that the one version better emphasizes the classic moral about vanity in the extreme instead of the danger of a lack of swimming skills.

National survey of farmers indicates wide range of cover crop benefits

Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Outreach
Aberdeen News

Despite the crippling rainfall that significantly delayed planting across much of the country in 2019, more than 90% of farmers participating in a national cover crop survey reported that cover crops allowed them to plant earlier or at the same time as non-cover-cropped fields. Among those who had “planted green,” seeding cash crops into growing cover crops, 54% said the practice helped them plant earlier than on other fields.

Those findings were among several new insights from the 2019-20 National Cover Crop Survey, conducted by the non-profit Conservation Technology Information Center, with financial support from the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program and the American Seed Trade Association. These organizations have worked together on several past national cover crop surveys, with the first survey dating back to the 2012 crop year.

The 2019-20 survey, which included perspectives from 1,172 farmers representing every state, was the first by SARE, CTIC and ASTA to include detailed exploration of planting green — a tactic employed by 52% of the respondents — as well as crop insurance use among cover croppers and the impact of cover crops on the profitability of horticultural operations.

“Many U.S. farmers have turned to cover crops as part of their strategy to improve soil health while reducing input costs and maintaining yields,” said Mike Smith, who managed the national survey for CTIC. Survey participants averaged 465 acres in cover crops in 2019, an increase of 38% in four years. The USDA Census of Agriculture found a 50% increase in cover crop acreage over the five-year period between 2012 and 2017.

“Farmers are using cover crops for a variety of reasons and many have tried new approaches to cover cropping,” Smith said. “This year’s survey also indicated that some of the concerns that many growers have had about the effects of cover crops on planting dates in a wet year turned out not to be true — in fact, in many cases, cover crops helped farmers plant earlier in the very wet spring of 2019.”

According to Rob Myers, regional director of Extension programs for North Central SARE, “many farmers are finding that cover crops improve the resiliency of their soil, and the longer they use cover crops, the greater the yield increases and cost savings that are reported by producers.”

“We are pleased to see farmers appreciate the expertise of cover crop seed companies, with 46% saying they buy from them and another 42% buying from retailers,” said Jane DeMarchi, VP of government and regulatory affairs at ASTA. “Professionally produced cover crop seed is grown for seed from the start and has been selected, harvested, cleaned and tested for performance.”

The study shows farmers are using a range of cover crop seed and mixes to address their individual needs, with 46% paying $15 or under per acre. Among the 1,172 farmers who provided responses in the 2019-20 National Cover Crop Survey, 81% were commodity producers (corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, etc.) and 19% categorized themselves as horticultural producers.

Here are some highlights from the survey. A full report is available free online at Survey reports from past years are at

The previous five national cover crop surveys sponsored by SARE, CTIC and ASTA have all reported yield boosts from cover crops, most notably in the drought year of 2012 when soybean yields were 11.6% improved following cover crops and corn yields were 9.6% better. In 2019, when wet early conditions prevailed across much of the corn and soybean regions, yield gains were more modest but still statistically significant. Following the use of cover crops, soybean yields improved 5% and corn yields increased 2% on average, while spring wheat yields improved 2.6%.

Saving on farming costs

Many farmers reported economic benefits from cover crop beyond just yield improvements. Of farmers growing corn, soybeans, spring wheat, or cotton, the following percent had savings on production costs with fertilizers and/or herbicides:

  • Soybeans: 41% saved on herbicide costs and 41% on fertilizer costs.
  • Corn: 39% saved on herbicide costs and 49% on fertilizer costs.
  • Spring wheat: 32% saved on herbicide costs and 43% on fertilizer costs.
  • Cotton: 71% saved on herbicide costs and 53% on fertilizer costs.

While cover crop seed purchase and planting do represent an extra cost for farmers, it was notable that most producers are finding ways to economize on cover crop seed costs. Whereas earlier surveys from 2012 and 2013 reported on a median cover crop seed cost of $25 per acre, most farmers reported paying less in 2019. Of the responding farmers, 16% were paying only $6-10 per acre for cover crop seed, 27% were paying $11-15 per acre, 20% were paying $16-20 per acre, and 14% were paying $21-25 per acre. Only about one-fourth were paying $26 or more per acre.

Planting green

Planting green refers to planting a cash crop like corn, soybeans or cotton into a still-living cover crop, then terminating it soon after with herbicides, a roller-crimper, or other methods. In this year’s survey, 52% of farmers planted green into cover crops on at least some of their fields. (In the 2016-17 report, the most recent prior survey by SARE, CTIC and ASTA, 39% of the respondents had planted green.)

  • Of the farmers planting green, 71% reported better weed control.
  • 68% reported better soil moisture management, particularly valuable in a wet spring.
Horticulture producers also benefit

For the first time, the survey queried horticulture producers about how cover crops have impacted their profit. Of the 184 horticulture producers responding to that question, 35% reported a moderate increase in net profit (defined as an increase of 5% or more), and another 23% reported a minor increase in net profit (2-4% increase). Even after factoring in the purchase and planting cost of cover crops seed, only 4% observed a minor (2-4%) reduction in net profit, and none reported a moderate loss in net profit.

“The 2019-20 National Cover Crop Survey shows that an ever-growing number of farmers of all types and in all regions of the U.S. continue to find advantages to using cover crops,” said Myers at SARE. “While the first survey in 2012 showed the benefits of cover crops in a drought year, this year’s survey showed that cover crops helped farmers in wet weather as well, with many of them being able to plant in wet spring weather when conventional neighbors couldn’t. The survey showed farmers are figuring out how to make cover crops work for them economically, while using them as a tool to address challenging issues such as herbicide- resistant weeds.”

Don't torch your combine -- simple maintenance can greatly reduce your risk

University of Nebraska<
p><p>Medical Center

Fire in a combine is the last thing farmers want to encounter during harvest.

While fall fires can’t be totally eliminated, a few precautionary steps can greatly reduce the likelihood that fire will ignite inside in your combine or the field you’re harvesting.

“As a 38-year volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician, I know an uptick in fire calls occurs every fall,” John Wilson, retired University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension educator, says. “If you didn’t get your combine thoroughly cleaned out after last year’s harvest, make sure you clean it before going to the field this year. One of the main causes of combine fires is accumulated residue that ignites when a combine belt or pulley heats up due to friction with crop residue. It takes time to do a thorough cleaning, but having a combine fire in the middle of harvest is about as bad as it gets.”

Depending on how much residue builds up in the combine during harvest, cleaning it periodically through harvest is also advisable.

Thorough maintenance should include adequate lubrication and greasing all grease zerks as it’s easy to miss one here and there. Inspecting wiring will help reveal any hazardous damage to wiring insulation that requires repair or replacement.

“Damaged wires can be an ignition source for dust or accumulated residue,” Wilson says. “Also, you don’t often see sparks coming from a combine exhaust. However, installing a spark arrestor on the combine exhaust system is an inexpensive step to prevent that hazard.”

Before it’s time to go to the field, it’s advisable to have two fire extinguishers in the combine. One should be in the cab. The other should be located in an area where it can be accessed from the ground. For extra fire insurance, carry a fire extinguisher in the semi cab or tractor cab used with the grain cart.

Before you need an extinguisher, inspect it to verify it’s been serviced and is ready to use. If your extinguisher needs servicing, it may be just as economical to replace it rather than service it.

Before fire breaks out, it’s also helpful to review the steps for using it to extinguish a flame.

“PASS is the acronym I learned when using an extinguisher,” Wilson says. “To use the extinguisher, pull the safety pin and aim it at the base of the fire. You don’t want to shoot over the top of the fire or in the middle of the flame. Aiming at the middle can cause flames to push outward and add to the flame rather than putting it out.”

After aiming the extinguisher at the base of the flame, squeeze the handle to discharge the contents. As it empties, sweep back and forth along the base of the fire. Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep.

Fires that occur during refueling a combine are not common, but they do happen. Farmers shouldn’t hesitate to turn off the combine engine and give it about 15 minutes to cool before they start refilling it. This practice is easy to sidestep but doing so could result in great loss to equipment, crop and human life.

“Shutting off that engine is one of the key practices for avoiding a combine fire,” Wilson says. “Of course, if you smoke, don’t do it during refueling.”

Due to significant drought in 2020, many fields in the region are seriously dry, setting the stage for fires during harvest.

“This year, it’s possible that heat from a catalytic converter on a vehicle could set grass on fire,” Wilson says. “Sparks of any kind right now could result in a major fire. The first step is to do a thorough job of cleaning and maintaining your combine. That will greatly reduce the potential for problems down the road.”

North Dakota FFA Foundation adds new staff member

Staff reports
Aberdeen News

BISMARCK, N.D. — The North Dakota FFA Foundation has hired Kayla Hart as its program coordinator and administrative assistant. Hart began her new role on Feb. 8 and will serve the foundation from its Bismarck office. Hart will work alongside Beth Allen, executive director of the ND FFA Foundation.

Hart, a 2019 North Dakota State University graduate, studied animal science and agribusiness, according to a news release from the foundation. “My background on our family farm along with my studies at NDSU are both experiences I’m excited to bring to the Foundation,” Hart said. “My background working in and studying North Dakota’s agricultural industry will help the foundation work with key sponsors and stakeholders efficiently and effectively.”

An alumna member of the Fessenden-Bowdon FFA Chapter, the North Dakota FFA is an organization Hart is already familiar with and knows well.

“As a former member of the North Dakota FFA, I look forward to facilitating opportunities for current members to have the same incredible experiences I had in my time as a member,” says Hart. “Knowing and being familiar with its mission, combined with my experiences, is what’s going to make my time with the Foundation the most exciting.”

The ND FFA Foundation is a nonprofit organization in North Dakota.

English Short Story “The Faithful Dog” for School, College Students, Moral Story for Class 7, 8, 9, 10, Class 12, College and Competitive Exams.

The Faithful Dog

0nce there was a boy. He had a pet dog who was very faithful to him. He was his friend too. They always remained together. They ate and played together. But the father of the boy didn’t like the dog. He always told his son to keep the dog at an arm’s length.

Many days passed. One day the boy was sleeping in his room and by chance the candle fell on the bed of the boy and it caught fire. The dog could not do anything. Soon the room was full of smoke and the boy was fast asleep. So the dog went to the room of the boy’s father which was at a good distance and dashed into it and began barking loudly. The man was disturbed in his sleep. He lost his temper and beat the dog severely. He shunted him out of his room but the dog did not go and pulled at his shirt. He almost dragged the man to the room where his little friend was sleeping.

There the father saw his son enveloped in flames and the full room was on fire and the flames were now about to touch the body of the sleeping boy. The man immediately jumped in and got the boy out in his arms. Only then the dog stopped barking. Thus the faithful dog acted very faithfully to save his little master. He risked even his life. The man was very happy with the dog and was repentant for the dislike he had for the dog. He now realized the worth of the faithful dog and felt sorry for the treatment he met at his hands.

Moral: Dogs are more faithful to their masters than men.

Acacia Homecare Franchise

Visit our Homecare page

0800 111 49 75

Home is a place where people feel safe and secure. Home is familiar. The home is a refuge where a person’s memories spill out from their mind and cover the walls with pictures, cover the shelves with books and ornaments and cover the dining table with those marks and patterns that each tell a story of their own.

Home is that favourite chair that creaks a bit with one button missing from the back. Home is the front door that’s a bit stiff and you have to gently pull the handle backwards to make it open.

At Acacia homecare, we believe that your home can be an important part of the care process. While it may be true that some situations require a person to spend time in long term supervised care, the majority of people requiring assistance and care would benefit far more from being enabled to continue life in their own home.

Enabling the individual to keep full control of their day-to-day living is not simply a service we offer or something we look to encourage – it is a foundation that underpins everything we do.

Personal care

Our Personal care service is designed to support the individual with their day-to-day living, as well as providing the individual with the encouragement allowing them full control to remain living independently.

Our personal care service can support the individual with dressing, prompting medication, bathing and continence care, at a time to suit your convenience. Maintaining the individual’s dignity is of paramount importance to us, which is why our support workers will ensure the individual feel comfortable at all times.

24 hours care

Our 24 hour care service supports individuals who require a significant level of support throughout the day and night. This allows the individual’s family and friend’s peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are benefiting from the expert care of highly skilled healthcare professionals, in the place where the individual is most comfortable.

Unlike a care home where many individuals have to be considered, 24 hour care is a personal one-to-one service that is tailored to the needs of each individual. A flexible care service is provided, accommodating your regular routine and specific needs, as well as adapting to the individual’s changing circumstances.

We can arrange for a Support worker to look after the individual’s care needs during the day, and another Support worker to be with the individual throughout the night.

Culture care

We believe that enabling people to receive care in their own home is not just something that is preferred by clients, but that it forms a fundamental component of the care itself. But the positive aspects of care within the home environment can be quickly negated if those providing the care do not fit in with the home environment.

Acacia Homecare provide support workers who are not just professionally trained to provide care, but who are also culturally aware to ensure that they recognise, respect and act in accordance with the client’s beliefs and cultural background.

Acacia provide care within your own home and ensure that your own home stays as your own.

Specialised support services

Dementia Care

At Acacia we do not see Dementia itself as a disease. Rather, it refers to a set of symptoms that describe a condition. One of the most common feelings amongst relatives of someone living with dementia is that they are losing the person they love. It doesn’t have to be this way.

When living with dementia, being able to stay in the familiarity of your own home with one-to-one, tailored support can all make a real difference. Our dementia care programme aims to minimise anxiety and frustration and promote overall health and wellbeing.

Empathy & Compassion care

We offer empathy and compassion care at any stage of your life. We aim to support you during this difficult time, making life more comfortable for everyone involved. We ensure that you are treated as an individual, with dignity and respect.

Our empathy and compassion care service supports adults who wish to remain living in the comfort of their own homes. The main objective is to provide you and your family the best quality of life you deserve. Acacia’s team of care workers have the required skills and experience to help you through these times.

MS Care

Being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis can be life changing, but doesn’t necessarily mean a loss of independence. Acacia enables people to continue living in their own homes, supported by fully trained care workers.

You remain in control of your life, and we provide the appropriate level of support to suit your needs. That means supporting you to achieve the things that matter to you most – this could be having an active social life, learning new skills, or feeling good about yourself.

Learning Disability Support

Most people with a learning disability are treated as ‘different.’ Acacia supports adults with learning difficulties like everyone else, as unique individuals. At Acacia we also believe in providing employment opportunities to people with learning disabilities.

We do not see any disabilities as a reason to give up, instead we aim to support you to fulfil your day-to-day activities. We offer a bespoke service that is tailored to suit your care needs. It could be that you require assistance in promoting daily living skills or taking a trip to the local library.

Mental Health Support

Again, most people with a mental health problems are treated as ‘different.’ Acacia supports adults with mental health problems like everyone else, as unique individuals.

One of the most common feelings amongst suffers from mental health is that they feel alone with no one to support them. It doesn’t have to be this way.

At Acacia Homecare we offer a bespoke service that is tailored to suit your care needs from specially trained support workers. It could be that you require someone just to listen to you, or even support to go out for a walk, Acacia Homecare will be there to support you.

In brief

In brief

  • Digital technologies are having a dramatic effect on the workforce and workplace.
  • Cloud capabilities offer flexibility but also introduce security risks.
  • HR systems need to be tailored and ready for the workforce of the future.
  • Five steps can help HR professionals reinvent their function.

Designing for digital

Digital technologies are transforming entire businesses, not just IT departments. And while HR leads can take advantage of the low cost and flexibility of cloud capabilities, there are also risks, such as the security of data and employee sensitivities.

Managing shifting practices means HR leaders must take another look at their digital strategies. HR systems need rich functionality that is not only tailored to the individual needs of the organization but also future proof. Five steps can help HR professionals reinvent their function and fully prepare to manage the workforce of the future.

Avoiding obsolescence

Changes to existing systems must be carefully considered and skillfully executed—some system capabilities and software extensions are more critical than others. Digital technologies bring new value, such as:

Innovative ways to deliver HR services easier and faster using mobile devices, social media or familiar consumer technologies can open up “anytime-anywhere” services.

Embedding talent management in the business by going beyond traditional self-service to involve the workforce in recruitment, onboarding, performance review, learning and career development procedures.

Customizing talent practices and communications using technology for a more marketing-oriented approach to specific groups or individuals.

The new HR

A less centralized, nimble and more business-integrated role is key to the new HR. Earlier research undertaken with SAP SuccessFactors shows that organizations which made more extensive use of human capital management solutions realized significant benefits.

Decrease in attrition

Increase in internal job fill rate

Increase in productivity

Powerful extensions

SAP Business Technology Platform offers users the flexibility and control needed for application customization. Using application extensions, HR professionals are freed up to spend time on the strategic aspects of their role—while reducing time and effort.

Data load time saving from conversion and migration extension

Cost saving from data validation and monitoring extension

Penalty payments saving from test data and optimization extension

Reinventing HR

Digital technologies are not being fully exploited by HR leaders. While workflows have been improved through interconnected systems and the automation of paper-based processes, for many HR departments the digital giant is still slumbering.

The time is ripe to be fully awake. Organizations must employ an effective digital strategy to lower operating costs and help to streamline and enrich human resources business processes. Cloud is a natural choice and, with the right extensions, HR leaders can gain the flexibility and agility they need to serve their role’s future demands.

Five steps to digital success

So how can HR leaders get started? Here are five ways digital technologies can reinvent HR organizations today:

1. Move to an integrated, consolidated HR platform

A central HR platform can provide the unified, consistent data needed to gain a single view of the workforce, automate extended processes, and work seamlessly across employee-interaction channels.

2. Migrate to the cloud for agility and innovation

HR organizations that are embracing Cloud/SaaS solutions have realized that many typical HR transactions are in fact “commodity” and can be consistent across the enterprise.

3. Use analytics for deeper insight

Analytics can be used to measure the effectiveness of HR and the impact it has on the business, as well as develop insights that can strengthen HR processes

4. Use social media to get close to employees

This familiar and effective channel for engaging employees helps HR executives to improve collaboration and speed up HR processes.

5. Make HR mobile

Mobile technology is critical to reaching a constantly moving, dynamic workforce—and to extending HR processes out to the business.

This is one of the most important federal elections we have had. It may be called the Religious Freedom/Abortion Election, because the declared policies of the ALP will severely restrict religious freedom and will push more hospitals to provide, and state governments to sanction, abortions, even to birth.

There are also key issues being pushed in State Parliament in relation to abortion law reform and prostitution law reform.

Come and hear about these key issues and many more at the ACL South East update.
