Now it is hotter and the sun has shined for more hours in a day and of course things change for the plants too. Colors may dull while leaves seem to cup or shrivel somewhat, even some plants like the lace leaf maples will reveal a bit of brown around the outside edges of the leaves. This brown outlines the leaf and sometimes with miniature spots that are caused by water droplets that have been heated by the sun causing the spoil. The cedars have been going nuts since the spring with new growth (remember those blues) and as it hardens off the mint greens will show through with a touch of gray on the underside of the needle (leaf).
What about that random color that we may miss if we do not look up, we are talking about the cones that are noticeable this time of year. After several cycles of opening and closing the cones will eventually drop do to dryness and completion of the cycle, leaving that brown cast on the floor of the garden under the pines. Look for that same color in the cedars on the one Douglass fir and later on the cryptomeria that was recently planted.

The Radio City Rockettes are the latest hallowed American institution that Donald Trump is trying to ruin for the rest of us. The iconic kickliners were announced as part of the upcoming inauguration celebration earlier this week, but not without dissension within their own ranks. At least one Rockette reportedly reached out to the American Guild of Variety Performers, the union that represents the young performers, to discuss the ability to boycott the performance. But now a protest has sparked around the AGVA's refusal to stick up for the Rockettes. Here's how to support the Rockettes since their union won't, because forcing them to perform and insisting that they should do it is not fair for anyone.
Excerpts from an email written by a high-ranking member of the AVGA administration were released Friday morning, indicating the union's unwillingness to support the Rockettes' desire to boycott the inauguration performance. "We have received an email from a Rockette expressing concern about getting 'involved in a dangerous political climate' but I must remind you that you are all employees. Any talk of boycotting this event is invalid, I'm afraid," wrote the AGVA representative in an email obtained by Broadway World.
"Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace. It is a job, and all of you should consider it an honor, no matter who is being sworn in. The election is over and this country will not survive if it remains divided," the rep continued, with the message stating that full-time Rockettes are obligated to perform at the inauguration. Though Broadway World could not confirm the consequences of refusing to perform, any abstentions could result in firing.
This email is enraging for several reasons, but perhaps most because of the underlying misogyny. These women lodged a legitimate complaint, not even necessarily on the grounds of moral objection (though they certainly have the right), but fears for their safety. Yet, without the slightest reference to a real attempt to advocate for them, they are told to shut up, smile, and be grateful.
The excerpts of the email published by Broadway World didn't even attempt to address the women's potential concerns or offer any sympathy for their position at all. Trump has laughed at being called a sexual predator, so it makes sense that the Rockettes might not feel comfortable performing in front of him. Additionally, there's the hostile web of social and political discourse surrounding his presidency that they will get pulled into because of this. At the very least, both the Rockettes' management and the AGVA both deserve a good chewing out for failing to show care for their employees.
If you want to support the Rockettes, there are a few key things you can do. First, start by contacting the management team at Madison Square Garden, since they're the ones who booked the performance in the first place. If there's enough public pressure in the next few days, they may be able to back out, which would be the most painless way to end this conflict. Next, you can call the AGVA and ask that they support the Rockettes who wish not to perform in the inauguration. The union should be standing up for their right to sit this out, not idly allowing them to get steamrolled.
Beyond that, social media is your best bet. Just be careful to avoid bringing individual Rockettes into any online conversations, unless they have specifically spoken about it online themselves. The "dangerous political climate" around Trump and the inauguration is a very real concern, and the Rockettes don't deserve to be targets of online hate. The protest around this is all about protecting these women, so make sure not to expose them to potential bullies in the process.

"We succeeded in achieving our key aims in the year-long negotiations with the Commission and the Member States – to raise the budget from €2.5 to €3.5 billion, to strengthen the role of anti-poverty organizations in the design, operation and monitoring of the programme and to simplify the administrative procedures. The new FEAD programme that we have now agreed is the first ever specific European initiative that seeks to reach out to people experiencing extreme deprivation, particularly food poverty, homelessness and child poverty, in all Member States." said Parliament's rapporteur for the FEAD, Emer Costello.
The EU's poorest citizens will continue to get food, basic material assistance and social welfare from the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) from 2014 to 2020, under a deal with Council endorsed by Parliament on Tuesday. MEPs succeeded in maintaining its budget of €3.5 bn. They also secured Council's agreement that the fund will be fully operational immediately.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he wants to build as many as 3.5 million new houses by 2025 to solve California’s housing crisis.
But those ambitious goals could be derailed without hundreds of thousands of new construction workers needed to dramatically accelerate the pace of California home building, even assuming that cities agree to zone for more housing and there’s money available to build it all. And it’s hard to imagine, given recent trends, where that many additional workers in the low-wage, high-risk industry would come from.
Newsom took an early stab at the money question in his first budget, offering $500 million in state funding for middle-income housing, But he wants California’s companies to take on a bigger role funding new homes, and he said he’s already talked with some tech firms that are open to cooperating.
Ramping up housing construction from about 100,000 units in 2016 to 1980s levels — about 300,000 new homes were built in 1986 — would require some 200,000 new workers, according to the researcher behind a new study for Smart Cities Prevail, a pro-union nonprofit. But even that influx of workers wouldn’t be enough to meet the goal of 500,000 new houses a year that Newsom floated during his campaign.
“Workers are not going to fall out of trees,” researcher Scott Littlehale said.
Littlehale’s study found that California housing construction isn’t just failing to attract new workers. It’s losing the workers it already has, many of whom are low wage and lower-skilled.
From 2006 to 2017, California lost about 200,000 construction workers. And within the construction trade, many workers are opting for commercial building jobs, which pay more, have better benefits and steadier work.
During the boom building years, the construction industry was “dependent on young workers without a college degree and on immigrant workers,” Littlehale said. Today, both populations are on the decline.
A brutally honest advertisement for a career in housing construction, according to Little, might read like this: Pay that’s, on average, 24 percent lower than other jobs and few benefits. “Oh, by the way, you have a high likelihood of getting injured during the course of that career and you may get laid off,” he said.
Miguel Diaz, 26, chose construction anyway. He started at 22, doing stints as a painter, carpenter, plumber and electrician. At his last job, he said he was only one of two native English speakers, which helped him earn $20 an hour and steady work. But he said many of his co-workers, who were undocumented or here on work visas, were often paid much less even if they were more experienced, and would go days without work, which can be devastating for workers living paycheck to paycheck.
“My dad just said, ‘Go do something that will make the most money and you won’t have to break your back as much. Use your brain,’” Diaz said.
So Diaz, who has a 6-year-old son, applied to become a union electrician in commercial construction.
Daniel Romero, the assistant business manager of the electrical workers union where Diaz is apprenticing, said starting union wages are about $27 an hour for commercial jobs compared to $17 an hour for residential work.
Littlehale said part of the problem is the industry hasn’t done a good job of training low skilled workers so they become highly skilled — and highly paid.
That’s what attracted Jerry Blake, 24, to the electrical union’s apprenticeship program. A former seasonal delivery worker for UPS, he switched to residential construction when he was 20 and began working as a non-union electrician.
He said he knew that if he got hired full-time as a UPS driver he could make more than the $13 he was paid when he first started in construction, but he liked the hands-on work. He eventually worked his way up in residential building to make $22 an hour, but still never got any training to extend his skills.
Now, Blake’s hoping to get a pay boost by moving into commercial construction.
Littlehale cautioned that even if Newsom and other government officials resolve many of the other major roadblocks to building more housing, they’ll never achieve their goals if conditions don’t change for workers.
And if housing prices stay high, even the most highly skilled construction workers will struggle. Diaz said he’s now earning $30 an hour, and anticipates $5 raises every six months, but he still lives with his parents. Even as a journeyman, when he expects to make about $70 an hour, he doesn’t think he’ll be able to afford to buy a house in the Bay Area.
“I don’t see myself buying a house, honestly, in this lifetime,” he said.

I will be bringing my camp instruments (musical and otherwise) to ensure that Camp Magic Macguffin is the best dang summer camp experience ever!
Sergeant Pepperstrong is an old salt that has worked at the Campgrounds for as long as anyone can remember. Strong language and a rough demeanor are just the exterior of a man who is actually kind and compassionate, if you get to know him. And you should, because he’s got plenty of stories to tell. Stories of a past that has seen the Campground through the happiest of times, and rumors of a darker history behind these cabin walls.
Wyatt typically lives out on the “Wild Wild Web”, but is spending 10 weeks camped out with ds106 as a brief respite from the dangers of the web. It’s not that Wyatt can’t handle himself out on the web, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about about waking up in the morning with a snake in your boot or a virus in your inbox.
Sparkles is a friendly and kindly counselor, though perhaps a little bit scarred from traumatic memories from his own childhood camp ordeals. But the magic of DS106 has encouraged him to leave his inhibitions behind. He’ll be strumming a guitar of tapping the spoons at the campfire singalongs.
I am a composite of characters from various stories. One part refugee from a 19th-century Russian novel, one part pulp thriller villain, plus some residue of a doomed Lovecraft scholar. I speak only in the voice of late-night radio, and sometimes gesture in a pixelated manner.
My name is Zazzy and I’m new the world of summer camp! I’ve worked for 23 years teaching little kids all about music in the public school system, and I’ve loved every minute of it! Then the local school board cut the budget and, well, they mean well.Anyway, I’m makin’ lemons outta lemonade, that’s for sure, and I’m doin’ it McGuffin style! I hope all of you campers will join me in some great music activities this summer as we sing and dance our blues away (some of us bluer than others, no doubt, but that’s what music is for!).
Move over Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas, here comes the REAL Camp Rock!
I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do hereby leaveth my bear rifle to whatever finds it. It is a good rifle, and killt the bear that killt me. Anyway, I am dead. Yours truly, Hatchet Jack.
And not to worry, I ain’t a madman with a hatchet. My real name is Billy, but you can call me Jack.

NC Business Hall of Fame -- Edward M. O'Herron Jr.
As chairman, CEO and former president of Eckerd's Drugs Inc., Ed O'Herron Jr. built the Carolinas drug stores into one of the nation's leading pharmacy chains.
Junior Achievement Born on Nov. 6, 1915, in Baltimore, Ed moved with his family to Charlotte where his father, Ed O'Herron Sr. opened Eckerd's Cut Rate Medical Store on Trade Street in 1921. O'Herron Sr. was the son-in-law of J. Milton Eckerd, who opened the first Eckerd drugstore in 1898 in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The North Carolina store was set up as a separate company from the original Pennsylvania firm. Ed's father opened a second store, located in Asheville in 1924. By 1928, Ed was working part-time in the original Charlotte store while attending public school.
In 1930, Ed enrolled in Culver Military Academy. By 1934, he had displayed his leadership, serving as Regimental Commander -- the highest ranking officer in the cadet corps. He won appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, but transferred in his sophomore year to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating in 1938. That year, he married Margaret Blackman.
Ed ran the Eckerd Drug warehouse operation out of the Asheville store for the half dozen Eckerd stores around North Carolina. During this time, he earned a pilot's license.
When World War II broke out, he enlisted in the Navy to be an aviator, but he was over the age limit. He joined the infantry with the Marines, went to officer training school and was an ordinance instructor. He applied for combat duty, and joined the Fifth Marine Division.

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – A group in Boulder is helping those with a checkered past find hope for the future. The Community Table Kitchen not only offers a meal to those in need, but those in the kitchen get jobs, a home and the tools needed to get their own lives back on track.
For Jose Rodriguez the kitchen is giving him a fresh start from his time in prison.
“I was dreading coming out. They wanted to parole me homeless back to Pueblo, and I was dreading it. I was giving myself about a month,” he said.
Instead, he found “Ready to Work” in Boulder, a program designed to help those who are homeless or who have lost their way transition back into society. Housing, employment, guidance and support are all things they can offer.
John Trejo says the Community Table Kitchen is just one option.
They now collaborate with Daconias to bake and package brownies, offer catering and prep, cook, and serve meals to those who need it the most.
“It’s rewarding to know we are doing what we can to help our community to help others at least get a hot meal,” Rodriguez said.
At the end of the eight month program, trainees a new resume and a new outlook on life.

After working as a center director for five years, I would often wonder if touring families was a full time job. During the busy seasons, which for us were September and January I would tour 4-5 families per day through our school. Although tours can feel very exhausting when you are giving them often, they are so important.
Tours are best done by the center director, but can also be done by a well trained office staff. Below we are going to explore the topics of; group vs. personal tours, what works best in tour packets, what is the teacher’s role during a tour and why to point out key safety features. It’s my hope that you and your team can take one or two ideas and bring them to your center or school.
When in the midst of a busy tour season I would always dream of doing group tours. I decided one year we would try this idea out for our school age after school families. We pre-set a few tours times over a few week period and when families arrived they would all tour the center together. Great idea huh? Well, not so much in the end.
The group tours that I led over those few weeks had little fruit. They were rushed, not personal and often even hectic. In the end of the day I decided that personal tours led to better connection, more one on one time and were much more personal. Even though they took more of my time, which as a director you don’t have much of, it was time well spent developing relationships with families who would become apart of our center family.
Having a well thought out tour schedule makes all the difference in the world. Yes, you will give a different tour every time you give one, these are personal don’t forget, but a good schedule will help lead the way and ensure that main topics are covered each time.
Below is a schedule I created for our center. Each centers schedule will be different, but I am hoping that this list will help you to generate some ideas with topics to include in your schedule. It is also nice to have the schedule pre-set in case you are sick and have someone take over for you, this way it is all ready to go!
Any time a new family is entering your center it is nice to have something to hand out to them. At our center I created enrollment packets. The items kept in these packets were pretty basic, but it was perfect to give a family on a tour. Families loved to take these home especially if their spouse wasn’t able to attend the tour, it gave them a small piece of the tour to take home and share.
Below is a list of items kept in the tour packets, take a look and see if there are any ideas to add to your current packet.
As you know, we tour families around the school almost daily. This is the best way for families to see our program in full swing and to see if it is a good fit for their family. YOU are a huge part in this puzzle and we can ONLY do what we do with your help.
Families will be escorted into the classroom and play areas by a leadership staff member.
Children may want to engage in your activities (or they won’t), encourage them to.
We will do our best to stay for 3-5 minutes.
Have your bulletin board updated with current information.
Curriculum notebook (a sample of your curriculum or a child’s ABC book in progress, these are always the best to show parents).
Any other information you feel would be helpful for parents to see or take.
Greet families! Welcome them and say “Hello”, and if you have time, introduce yourself by name (if you are doing circle time, just wave, no need to stop your activity).
Ask the child’s name – this is a great way to connect with the family in the short time available.
Smile; a smile goes a long way.
I get compliments each tour about how amazing our facility is and how friendly our staff is. Sometimes we forget because we don’t visit other schools on a regular basis, but not all schools are like ours. We DO have an awesome facility and a friendly staff. Thanks for all you do to make our school such an awesome place for families.
Don’t forget to name your teachers role in the tour and to thank them for the role they play. Teachers do make the school what it is and we need to honor that, this email is a great way to do that, while educating them as well.
If I have learned one thing it is that parents care about the safety of their child more than anything. If you fail to mention your centers policies and actions around safety in a tour, you are missing a huge selling point.
At our center our key safety features were our check in system, camera monitoring and our locked facility policies. When touring a family I would always point out each of these systems along the way. Families loved that our check-in system (sandbox time clock) was easy to use and had safety features including a secure passcode for each person on the pick up list. Our camera monitoring system (watch me grow) allowed parents to monitor their children throughout the day, parents loved this. Last, we maintained a locked facility. The only access to our building was locked. This was a huge peace of mind to families.
When touring a family don’t forget to point out the many ways that you and your team keep their kids safe each day. It is a big deal to leave your 2,3 or 4 year old with someone you don’t really know. It’s the most simply safety policies and practices that can ease a parents mind.
Tours are such an import part of our job as directors in the childcare field. I hope that this blog will encourage you to take the time and energy to plan and prepare for your next tour. A tour is not only a way to sell your program, but a great way to start that lasting connection with the families in your center. Families want connection; take the time, be prepared and connect with each family your tour.

The agenda that followed on that Professional Learning day emphasized Ms. Carlisle’s sentiments, showcasing the school’s growth mindset in action. Engaging sessions led by BSS staff members from across the school inspired thought-provoking reflection and dialogue amongst their colleagues. The format included an eclectic mix of learning sessions such as Unhealthy Perfectionism, Learning and the Brain and STEAM for Everyone. The group also participated in a staff-led Space Walk, with groups gathering in far corners of the campus to examine what they saw, what was missing and what possibilities each space held. The chance to learn from one another showcased the depth of knowledge at BSS and the possibilities that open up when experts from all departments collaborate together.
Staff members’ constant learning and sharing of their expertise reaches far past the BSS community. Investigations and Expressions is a unique professional learning series facilitated by faculty members who share the latest insights on Reggio-inspired learning, based on their firsthand experience teaching it. Kindergarten to Grade 6 teachers from across the province come to BSS for one-day workshops throughout the year and a four-day symposium in July, with each session introducing new, leading edge themes and topics.
from Grades 2 to 6 mental strategies that help them visualize their thinking in order to develop a deeper understanding of math concepts. In 2017 Kelly Kirkpatrick, Technology and Innovation Co-ordinator, and Cathy Prain, Database Technical Leader, presented at the first Canadian Blackbaud K-12 User Conference at Hillfield Strathallan College, sharing their expertise on various leading edge technologies based on their experience implementing them at BSS.
Several faculty members from the Middle and Senior Schools represented BSS at the Independent Schools of Ontario Mathematics Association this past January. Math teacher Andrew Ruston and math and science teacher Ruth McArthur spoke about experimenting with the implementation of “standards based grading”. Their findings showed the benefits of this system, which moves away from a focus on overall marks to encourage students to develop a growth mindset, understanding mathematical concepts through active participation in the feedback process. At the same conference, Senior School math teacher and lead mentor Sheila Barclay facilitated a participation-based session about how to incorporate classroom structures that will increase student engagement, movement and discourse, while promoting extended thinking and the transfer of ideas. Carly Ziniuk, Senior School math teacher also facilitated a workshop on using multiple mathematical representations to help Middle and Senior School math students present and represent math functions through real-life problems and their own thinking.
This past March, Grade 7 humanities teacher Amanda Merpaw and Middle School drama teacher Brendon Allen facilitated a half day workshop at the High Tech High Deeper Learning conference in San Diego. Adapted from an immersive interdisciplinary theatre production project they piloted last year, the workshop explored how students perceive and interact with their school spaces, how interdisciplinary work supports the holistic development of student identity and voice, and how students can harness their voice to be agents of change in their environment.
In April 2018, Ms. Hughes and Grade 5 teacher Radhika Raj presented a research paper at AERA (American Educational Research Association) in NYC about a gender investigation initiative that they conducted with the Grade 5s last year titled “Schools in Transition: Girls, Gender and Identity”. They shared their findings from examining social justice in relation to marginalized groups in society, societal expectations of girls and women, gender identity, ethical citizenship, and how BSS girls can affect change in their community.
It’s clear that the well-educated educators and staff members of BSS value their own learning, with an impressive dedication to constant growth and development. What’s most remarkable, though, is the deep knowledge and creativity available to students each and every day, and the examples set for them as they continue on a lifelong journey of learning beyond their time at BSS.

Religious Freedom, LGBT Rights, and the Prospects for Common Ground (William N. Eskridge, Jr. & Robin Fretwell Wilson, eds., Cambridge University Press 2018) (Chapter 7).
See all articles by Ronald J. Krotoszynski Jr.
“The Devil Is in the Details”: On the Central Importance of Distinguishing the Truly Public from the Truly Private in Reconciling Equality and Religious Liberty serves as Chapter 7 in Religious Freedom, LGBT Rights, and the Prospects for Common Ground (Cambridge University Press), which Professors Bill Eskridge and Robin Fretwell Wilson ably edited. The book is comprised of single-chapter contributions by a wide variety of authors – including legal academics, religious leaders, think-tank fellows, civil rights activists, and current and former public officials. It bears noting that this contribution (like the others) reflects the benefit of constructive and wide-ranging discussions that took place at Yale Law School incident to a symposium on “Faith, Sexuality, and Freedom,” on January 13-14, 2017.
The Essay posits that the key to reconciling successfully religious liberty with the dignity interests of LGBT persons requires drawing and enforcing a line that effectively and reliably separates the truly public from the truly private. In order to determine when religious entities have a constitutional right to be self-governing, we must carefully disentangle the public sphere from the private sphere. The state creates and maintains the agora, or public marketplace, and has the power to regulate access to it in order to promote the health, safety, welfare, and morals of the community. Just as the state may legislate to prevent and deter health nuisances, such as fire hazards and unsanitary conditions, it may also legislate to eradicate moral nuisances, such as various forms of invidious, status-based discrimination. This power to eradicate moral nuisances, however, cannot sweep so broadly or deeply as to deny self-constituted communities of faith the ability to hold and practice the tenets of their faith outside the public marketplace.
The public/private distinction is not perfect, but it is holds more promise than the most obvious alternative approaches. For example, reconciling sincerely held religious convictions with federal, state, and local nondiscrimination laws cannot turn on a simplistic dichotomy between belief and conduct. This distinction has the potential effect of zeroing out protections for religious beliefs in any circumstance where a religious adherent attempts to share a religious belief with others via conduct. So too, reliance on third party harm presents serious operational difficulties because mere offense can constitute harm to a third party. Depending on how broadly – or narrowly – one defines “third party harm,” this test could be quite robust or rather anemic in securing either religious liberty or equality values. Open-ended proportionality analysis also does not present an optimal way forward because such balancing exercises do not, and probably cannot, constrain judicial discretion effectively. The public/private distinction, carefully implemented, presents the best way forward. To be sure, drawing the line of demarcation between the truly public and the truly private will not be an easy undertaking. Even so, however, it is an essential undertaking if we are to secure both equality and religious liberty in the contemporary United States.

Bonneville County occupies a small but populous farmland and urban area along the Snake River, and a large area of hills and mountains east of there, much of which is nearly uninhabited. The Snake River, the largest river in Idaho, passes along the north side of the county, leaves it to the north, and then comes back to flow southward along its western boundary. Idaho Falls, Bonneville County's major city, was settled on the Snake River; and is named after a waterfall on the river. Bonneville County is the fourth most populous in Idaho.
Bonneville County was established in 1911, being split off from Bingham County, which lies to the south. It is named after Benjamin Bonneville (1796-1878), a French-born explorer who explored this area in the 1830s. THe county covers 1,900 square miles and has a population of 104,234 (as of the year 2010). The lowest elevation is about 4,600 feet where the Snake River leaves the county. The highest point is 10,025 feet at Mount Baird, located near the county's northeast corner.
The western end of Bonneville County lies in the Snake River Basin. This basin covers much of southern Idaho and made an easy route for exploration and early settlers. The Snake River provided irrigation water, and many settlements sprung up in this area, one of which was Idaho Falls. The Snake River, which originates in Yellowstone National Park, passes through the Palisades Reservoir and a narrow valley in the east part of the county, before emerging into the Snake River Basin. Southwest of the Snake River lies the Caribou Mountain Range, and on the northeast lies the Snake River Range. Grays Lake Valley lies on the southern boundary. The tip of the county west of Idaho Falls is covered with lava fields.
Interstate 15 is the main route of travel through the county, going north and south along the Snake River. It passes through Idaho Falls connecting north into Montana and south to Blackfoot and Pocatello. U.S. Highway 26 follows the Snake River all the way through the county. U.S. Highway 20 dips southward into the county to hit Idaho Falls, and then heads into the west deserts and lava fields. U.S. Highway 91 begins at Idaho Falls and parallels the freeway southward. A historic alignment of U.S. Highway 191 also passes through the county.
See Bonneville County's official site at www.co.bonneville.id.us and the Wikipedia article on Bonneville County.

Soon to be father, Sunny Chan Kam Hung revealed in a radio interview that the baby’s due date will be May 2nd. "The baby should be a boy, but I am happy whether it is a boy or girl. The baby’s name will be decided by a Chinese teacher. But for now we plan to call him Hung Jai."
To help his wife lose post-pregnancy weight, Sunny has already designed a special menu for her.
Sunny also revealed that he terminated his restaurant business last month. "The landlord increased the rent by 30%, thus I decided to sell the business instead." Sunny earned a good profit from the sale.

Most attacks against electronic access controls follow similar methods but utilize different tools. Some electronic locks utilize magnetic strip cards, others employ RFID tags embedded within a card or badge, or may involve more sophisticated protections such as voice-print, thumb-print, or retinal biometrics. Magnetic Strip and RFID technologies are the most widespread because they are cost effective to deploy and more easily integrated with other electronic security measures. These technologies share common weaknesses that an attacker can exploit to gain access to a facility protected by the mechanisms via copying legitimate cards or badges, or generating new cards using reverse-engineered algorithms.

From national organizations like Habitat For Humanity to a town’s local soup kitchen, nonprofit organizations around the country come to All About Pins for custom volunteer award pins recognizing the dedication and work of their volunteers. We see award pins in every shape or size, but there a few key trends we’ve found consistent in volunteer award pins. With this article, we’ll walk through tips for designing award pins that your volunteer force will treasure.
Of course, any organizational pin will feature a brand’s name or logo and existing art assets are great design addition for distinctly identifying an award with service to your organization but using brand graphics in volunteer award pins is more nuanced. Rather than being used to market or spread an organization’s brand, your branding marks a volunteers involvement and its an opportunity to highlight a volunteer’s direct contributions.
Think about adding typography or graphics that resonate with your volunteers specifically and honor their direct contributions. Remember, volunteers donate their time and effort to your organization because they believe in its mission or cause. Awarding pins that recognize their contributions and giving them an official organizational pin treats them as an involved and contributing member of an organization and its mission.
For example, during the 2018 Seattle Film Festival, the organizers awarded their volunteers who committed 40 hours of service to the event with “Full 40” award pins, shown up top, featuring the event’s specific typography and stamped onto its recognizable star symbol. This pin is a classic example of a volunteer award pin, recognizing the hours of labor committed by their volunteer and specifically identifying them as involved members of the event.
Need to differentiate the milestones and achievements of different members of your volunteers? You can customize your order and split specific design elements such as numbering, plating and colors. Splitting an order allows our clients to create visual diversity within an individual order and let them highlight different milestones within the same order.
Choosing a pin type decides the production process of a pin, which is a big influence on how a pin design looks and feels after production. It’s important to remember that most pin styles don’t allow for creating gradients of color on a pin which can limit how you present a specific logo or design feature for your volunteer pins.
As awards, you definitely want your volunteer pins to have a feel of genuine value and quality that reflects on the hard work of your volunteers, and, of course, identifies them as respected members of your organization. Overwhelmingly, we’ve noticed volunteer award pins are popular as silk screen pins, cloisonne pins and die struck pins.
Silkscreen pins are ideal for perfectly recreating an organizational logo or branding symbol, which can be very important for organizations with strict standards on how their symbols are presented. Additionally, a silkscreen pin allows a design to reach the entire edge of a pin, using all available surface area without borders or raised metal lines and are one of the few pin types to allow for color gradients on a design.
Cloisonne pins have an almost smooth jewelry-quality finish of much higher perceived value than most other pin types. They look professional, valuable, and are obviously a step up in quality on immediate inspection from more common soft enamel pins you see every day as accessories.
Die struck pins are stamped in metal and left in the color of their natural plating giving it a medallion-like appearance that immediately reminds volunteers and viewers alike.
All of our pins come with free PVC pouches for storage, but these pouches are better suited for retail pins meant as accessories. Instead, upgrade to individual presentation cases for volunteer award pins. Not only are they handy for storing and displaying pins, but a personalized case increases the intrinsic value of your award pin as a gift. We offer two options, acrylic presentation cases with foam padding and velvet presentation cases with a felt-lined interior.
Our acrylic cases are most popular with our customers but, honestly, going with a velvet case provides the best quality. Aside from improving the perceived quality of a pin, presentation cases make your pins smart promotional tools, which are more likely to be put on display on a desk or shelf instead of being kept in a jewelry box.
Not sure if your design is production-ready? The team at All About Pins is ready to help you at every step of the process, from providing full-color art samples of how a volunteer award pin will look to revising a design as many times as needed to get it right, we’re devoted to making sure your award pins honor the work and dedication of their recipients.

Before you start, make sure that the machines you are removing are no longer needed for anything.
You need to remove the nodes from the puppetmaster in each environment. This is needed to clean up exported resources from Puppet, including removing checks from Icinga.
First, disable Puppet on the machines you wish to remove.
You may need to wait a few minutes, but it should then disappear from the “Host Detail” page in Icinga.
If you are removing a class of machines, you will need to remove the definitions from Puppet.
Sign in to the vCloud Director instance for the given environment. Go to ‘My Cloud’, search for the given machine, stop it, and then delete it.
If your machine class matches a vDC, be careful not to remove firewall rules that apply to the vDC.
If you’re removing a class of machines, first deploy Terraform for the relevant project using the destroy action. This will remove all the EC2 instances.
Then, remove the project itself from govuk-aws.
If you’re removing a single machine, change the asg_size for the relevant project in govuk-aws-data (example) and deploy Terraform.

Stanley Healthcare uses Salesforce Service Cloud to help hospitals track patient needs — and move faster to meet them.
Every day in America, doctors prescribe medication to patients who have no food at home or live in unsafe housing. Medicine alone won’t solve these problems, and many patients may return with more serious—and more expensive—illnesses. Health Leads believes that a different kind of healthcare system is possible for America: one that addresses all patients’ basic resource needs as a standard part of quality care. And Salesforce is helping the organisation achieve this vision.
In 20 health centres across the country, Health Leads enables doctors and other healthcare providers to “prescribe” basic resources like food and heat, and mobilises nearly 1,000 college student advocates to “fill” prescriptions by connecting patients with the basic resources they need to be healthy. This year, Health Leads will help more than 14,500 families lead healthier lives.
In its early days, Health Leads used spreadsheets and a database to track clients and available community resources, but difficulties entering and sharing data made it hard to track client progress. Today, everything from client data to information about community resources to advocate performance data is stored in Salesforce. Marketing, fundraising, business development, and communications staff also use Sales Cloud to manage relationships and keep a record of every hospital, donor, and volunteer interaction.
The new generation of healthcare is also stepping outside the boundaries of doctors’ offices. Advocates can access Salesforce from iPads so they can stay connected to their casework, help clients, and collaborate with Chatter from any location. With Salesforce Platform app, they can easily view and update patient data, coordinate care with physicians, and find effective community resources.
