text: This gourd birdhouse is ready to be made into a masterpiece! It once grew in a field, and has been dried, washed, and drilled and ready for your project! Each gourd stands between 10-12″ high and is 7-8″ in diameter (at the bottom). The bird entrance is 1.5″ round- perfect for Wrens! There are so many things you can do with this gourd! Collage, acrylic paints, fabric paints… the sky is the limit. The best part is that in the end, you will have a functional piece that you can hand outside! You can watch the birds nest every spring! This is a perfect project for children and adults alike. Remember, because gourds are first designed by Mother Nature, they may vary in shape and size. I always ship out gourds with good stems and a strong shell. Some gourds may have tiny blemishes and color differences. Thank you for stopping by my gourd shop! Have a fantastic day!

Bri and Greg are from LA and when they came into town they asked to meet me at my studio and instantly I loved them. I was so honored to work with such laid back, rad people. When they mentioned their wedding was in Yosemite, I was trilled. Bri did ask for a color palette that took me out of my comfort zone. She wanted bright orange, red and burgundy to go with her brown, taupe and sky blue theme. This through me in for a ringer but I pulled it together and I am very pleased. Three other amazing things about this beautiful wedding was the coordinator Emily from Tasteful Tatters, Isaiah and Taylor photography and Evergreen Lodge. This venue and their sister venue are so fabulous, I would hands down work any wedding there no matter the budget or the clients. They are so friendly, on top of everything and accommodating to vendors I almost died.
Thanks to Passion Sue Flowers we have revamped the world of corsages. They are more comfortable and stylish than your high school corsage. Trust me the moms and grandmothers are so impressed. They rave on and on about them.
Tip number one: Use Oasis Floral Glue. I have tried every type but the Oasis brand is the best!!!
Tip number two: Adorn the flowers the night before but attach them right before your done for the evening. Use flat flowers such as ranunculus, cosmos, hellebore, and silver brunia.
Tip number three: Double check them first thing in the morning and glue the loose pieces.
Tip number four: Keep them from falling over during delivery. We keep them together and use tissue paper to support them.
Tip number five: Attach a cute name tag!

It seemed like Sam Raimi’s horror roots (born with his legendary Evil Dead trilogy) was eclipsed by his Spider-Man success, but the man’s still got it, his sense of humour also still very much alive.
A fantastic array of scares comes in every shape, from creepy suspense, imposing danger and audio fuelled shocks, to squirmy horrific moments and total gross-outs ala Evil Dead. In the theatre we witnessed at least three sets of people leaving the cinema!
The only extras on this single disc release is a production video diary guided by Justin Long, looking at various aspects of the production, from the performers to the Greg Nicotero special FX and set design.
PS. Keep an eye out for the customary cameo appearance of Raimi’s 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88. But, unfortunately Raimi regular Bruce Campbell is absent – time for Evil Dead IV, I hear you scream?!

What impact does the economic upswing in Colombia have on your work?
To answer to this question it is necessary to explain Colombia’s historical context. The internal armed conflict in Colombia is a low-intensity asymmetric warfare that has been developed in Colombia since the 1960s until now. The conflict is rooted in agricultural problems, and its main actors involved were initially the Colombian State and the far-left guerrillas; decades later, extreme right-wing paramilitary groups, drug cartels and criminal gangs. It has gone through several stages of resurgency, especially since the 1980s when some of the actors began to finance drug trafficking. Last year Colombia’s Congress approved a revised peace accord with the country’s largest rebel group. That is a testament to what can be achieved through dialogue and compromise, even in a deeply polarized society. If the deal holds it will set a strong road map for us Colombians to start healing the wounds of a brutal conflict that raged for more than five decades, and also look forward to build a more egalitarian, tolerant society. In this new chapter of our history we are trying to correct those problems in agricultural lands and forests accumulated over many decades. Colombia is a farmer country, and my career in general is inevitably impacted by all of this as well, because increased population, together with the policies of extractivist economic development, means we have to now prioritize the implementation of effective strategies to ensure the protection, mitigation and prevention of threats and a suitable and sustainable use of the country's biologic diversity.
Have you seen any progress yet?
Yes, we are trying to use the opportunity that post-conflict brings to make a transformation into a sustainable use of our biodiversity. We must build conservation mosaics along with agro-industrial systems to prevent the development of future conflicts due to environmental deterioration. This is based on the fact that national and international companies that avoided being in Colombia during the conflict will probably change their minds and want to exploit natural resources in a fully legal framework, which means that new natural areas and their resources will be at risk. And in addition to that, now we moved from illegal crops to illegal exploitation of gold, which is more profitable than cocaine production and it is legal (what is illegal are the ways of doing mining, which represents a difficulty when it comes to legal control, endangering body waters and biodiversity).
Life will never be perfect and even when it seems that the progress involves problems, here is where I want to be, tackling different issues to work for the land that gave me what I have now, a land that I love dearly and care for.
Where do you think is still potential for development?
The potential for development in Colombia is based in essence on a bio economical model, now that we are living times of post-conflict, because it offers us alternatives for local growth, by developing productive projects to go beyond extractivist approaches. And it looks forward to minimizing the ecological footprint of human activities; reducing the consumption of fossil fuels to build a transition towards a different economic model; taking advantage of the ecological function of the territory.
Integral management of biodiversity and its ecosystem services requires reconciling conservation with development. This element is particularly necessary in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country such as Colombia, which still has outstanding tasks in its development model, for example the many regions with unsatisfied basic needs and high rates of illiteracy and child morbidity, among others.
What advantages has your BOKU education given you? How did/do you use your knowledge from your BOKU experience?
With the Master’s I got at BOKU I had the opportunity to work as an advisor for the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of Colombia. I gave technical inputs on projects sponsored by international cooperation, in collaboration with the agricultural sector as the third main element of the Amazon Vision Program and the REDD+ (Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) National Strategy.
Studying at BOKU gave me the chance to learn a foreign language. I learnt from a culture opposite from mine, and I believe that the culture of a place is not simply given by its music, clothing or food but by the way of thinking of its population. And interacting with the members of the Austrian culture for a while allowed me to truly understand their customs and thoughts. I came back to my homeland with a different perspective of myself, the world and life in general. Everything in positive terms.
What‘s your philosophy of life?
I’m a Christian. I believe in forgiveness of sins by God. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, God in one the creator of the Universe, The Ancient of Days, The Giver of Peace. I’m strongly convinced about loving others as God loved me first. I believe in reconciliation, restoration, second chances, and new opportunities for everyone, every single day. I believe that God has a unique plan for every single human been and we are all important to His sight. In my personal relationship with God I’ve discovered that his gentle and mighty power are still the same today. And I rely on God’s wisdom, joy and guidance to live my life and be the best version of myself for those around me. I enjoy nature, reading and praying, meditating on the Bible, having a cup of coffee with my friends or family to delight myself with their company. Outdoor activities are my favorite and animals are great as well! I’m a friendly person that loves being alive!

For Switzerland's most recent participation, see Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015.
Switzerland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 56 times since making its debut at the first contest in 1956, missing only four contests, in 1995, 1999, 2001 and 2003. Switzerland hosted the first contest in 1956, and won it themselves. Switzerland won the contest again in 1988.
Lys Assia won the very first contest in Lugano in 1956 with the song "Refrain". She returned to place second in 1958. Switzerland would go on to finish third in 1961 with Franca Di Rienzo and 1982 with Arlette Zola, and place second with Esther Ofarim in 1963 and Daniela Simons in 1986, before winning the contest for the second time in 1988 with Celine Dion and the song "Ne partez pas sans moi". In 1993, Annie Cotton gave the country its eighth top three result, when she placed third.
In the 21st century, Switzerland has only once reached the top ten, in 2005 with the girl band Vanilla Ninja finishing eighth. Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Switzerland has failed to qualify for the final eight times. At the 2014 contest, Sebalter gave the country its second best result of the century, finishing 13th.
Switzerland had been absent from Eurovision four times since their participation began in the first contest. These absences, in 1995, 1999, 2001 and 2003 were caused by poor results in previous contests that relegated Switzerland from the contest.
Switzerland has four official languages, French, German, Italian, and Romansh. For decades, the song requirements stated that the song had to be performed in a national language, which gave Switzerland leeway as they could perform in any of the four languages. Out of their 55 appearances in the Contest, Switzerland has sent 52 songs, 24 of which were in French, 12 in German, nine in Italian, nine in English, and one in Romansh. Both of Switzerland's winning songs have been sung in French.
a. ^ The full results for the first contest in 1956 are unknown, only the winner was announced. The official Eurovision site lists all the other songs as being placed second.
Over the years Switzerland has broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest on three television stations, SRF (German language), RTS (French language) and RSI (Italian language).

Social media as an advertising and promotion platform is practically solid gold for businesses. The reason is because they've spent the last several decades in print media. Print media is not only expensive, but it's hardly trackable. You can slap a unique promo code in a commercial or on a magazine, but so much of that tracking is up to the advertising Gods.
On Twitter, like most social networks, you have a bigger advantage than print and radio. You have a paper trail or a Tweet trail ... a URL trail, maybe.
In any case, any URL can be tracked right straight back to your analytics or any analytics tracking package. You could simply attach a unique code to your URL and track it directly in Google Analytics, or you could send all of your Tweets through a program like Hootsuite, which tracks them all for you. Or, you could use a host of other analytics tracking tools that help you further analyze everything you send.
This part, the analytics part, is a great part of social media. You can construct ten different headlines for a Tweet, schedule them out over the course of a day or ten days, and find out fairly quickly which headline worked best. You can try sending the same Tweet at different times of the day to see which time is more effective. You can see which type of Tweets work best with your readers. There's so much you can learn about your followers, completely free, that you would have waited months for in print and radio.
To get the most out of Twitter, you have to know what is and isn't working for your business. And you can use one or more of these Twitter tools, most of which are free or at least have a free trial period.
TweetReach — This measurement resource is great for determining how far your Tweets are going. Just input your URL and you'll get a clear picture of how far your reach is spreading.
Twitter Counter — If you want a straightforward tool that can measure your growth and compare it with that of your followers, this analytic tool will do the trick.
Social Bro — Speaking of your followers, how about getting some stats on their followers. This is a very powerful tool and has a lot to offer free-of-charge.
Twitonomy — If you want to know about your conversions, this is the metric for your business. It packs a big punch and allows you to identify things which matter to your business most.
Twtrland — For those who don't like a lot of numbers, percentages and other figures, this is the application for you. It produces visuals and puts the stats into groups for easy reading.
By-and-large, many of these free Twitter analytics tools do the same things. And while that seems like nothing less than redundant, there's an application which fits your social media strategy best. You might also identify with a different interface than someone else would. Analytics are complicated enough, so choose a platform that makes you comfortable. The best thing to do is take a look at each of them and decide which one strikes a chord.
Then, give a few a try and that will tell you precisely which one or two you find most informative and easy to use. They're all designed to deliver a simple interface but ultimately, the end user decides which is the best match.

Start by prepping the butternut squash. Cut it up and steam it for about 10 minutes.
Remove half of the squash and set aside.
Keep steaming the other half for 4-5 minutes until very tender. Then remove the squash and mash with a fork.
Heat onion over medium heat and cook about 8-10 minutes until brown.
Add garlic and oregan and cook for an additional minute.
Add tomatoes, butternut squash, and mashed squash. Stir to combine.
and quinoa and cook until the quinoa is translucent.
I also added zucchini to mine. Stir in pepper and simmer uncovered until the zucchini is tender.
I really loved this stew because it had a little bit of a sweet taste to it, but not over powering. It was really good on a cold night! Enjoy!
In a saucepan on medium heat, heat the olive oil.
Stir in broth and quinoa. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the quinoa turns translucent, about 15 minutes.
Stir the pepper into the stew and simmer, uncovered, to heat, about 5 minutes.

The first national ‘tree champion’ is charged with reversing the fortunes of the country’s woodlands and beleaguered urban trees.
England is running out of oak. The last of the trees planted by the Victorians are now being harvested, and in the intervening century so few have been grown – and fewer still grown in the right conditions for making timber – that imports, mostly from the US and Europe, are the only answer.
Earlier this month, the government appointed the first “tree champion”, who will spearhead its plans to grow 11 million new trees, and conserve existing forests and urban trees. Sir William Worsley, currently chairman of the National Forest Company, has been given the task of overseeing trees in England and Wales, including England’s iconic national tree, and ensuring that trees are not felled unnecessarily. Worsley is a former chief of the Country Land and Business Association, which represents landowners and rural businesses.

In the latest issue of Offscreen Magazine, Amber Case tells an interesting story about a Xerox PARC anthropologist called Lucy Suchman. The story goes that Suchman was tasked with working out why customers found their photocopiers so difficult to understand and use.
At the time, engineers placed every possible control and setting front and centre, giving customers an overwhelming number of options to understand and decisions to make. Most companies ended up hiring someone specifically to work the photocopier.
When Suchman conducted her research, she discovered most customers only wanted to copy a single side of A4. So, she suggested that they created a big green button to do just that. That big green button made sure that most customers got exactly what they wanted straight away. No more confusion.
There are a few articles that suggest this story isn’t 100% accurate. But it’s a great story all the same. And it got me thinking about the Suchman’s big green button as a metaphor for copywriting. Regardless of the truth behind the tale, I think the metaphor holds up.
As writers, we’re often on the outside looking in. That’s tricky at times, because we’re always learning. But it also lets us look at things in a way that the people on the inside – the ones with all the knowledge – can’t possibly do.
When you’re close to your product or service, you want the world to know about all of it. But the world doesn’t need to know about all of it. Most of the world wants to know about some of it. And quite often that some of it is enough. That’s your big green button. And our job as writers is to look for it.
When you focus on your big green button, your writing becomes clear and concise. There’s always a temptation to include every possible feature, service, option or use case. But that’s often the fastest way to take the impact out of your message.
Doing away with 80% of what you could say, in favour of what you should say, isn’t easy. But it’s the best way to be useful.

There is no regard for the early morning recreationists trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle by getting in the water before heading to work. This action is also denying early evening access to the park for any kind of recreation, surfing, fishing, volleyball, paddling, diving, picnicking.
The “No Parking from 8 p.m.-5 a.m.” signs along Amala Road, just outside the park gates, have been replaced with “No Parking” signs. It seems because the department could not control the illegal campers/homeless, they are now penalizing the entire community. Had the department enforced the original parking signs we would not be in this situation.

Isuru and his Amma are quite extraordinary. They live a km or so away, alone in a dark brick house after Isuru’s Tata passed away, and although Isuru cannot walk or talk or sit up or eat by himself, he sure can smile and laugh, and when you visit him his eyes will follow you everywhere, telling you all sorts of stories until you learn how to follow the thread. His Amma, who does every and any thing for him and has every reason in the world to complain about how hard life is, instead smiles lovingly, letting you know clearly that she makes the choice, every single day, to be happy.
Since meeting Isuru in December, we’ve been bringing sacks of staples to his Amma every month. Rice, Dahl, Tea, Sugar, Milk Powder, Vegetables and Fruit, Soap, Washing Powder and Coconut Oil are just a few of the offerings that we gladly supply each visit as we work to source some larger items for their house.
I used to think we were the ones bringing nourishment when we pull up in the tuk tuk every few weeks with sacks of food, but yesterday it was clear that sometimes you get fed with food, and sometimes you get fed with smiles.
Sometimes Dharma Teachers come in disguise.

NVIDIA today reinvented computer graphics with the launch of the NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture. The greatest leap since the invention of the CUDA GPU in 2006, Turing features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing and new Tensor Cores for AI inferencing which, together for the first time, make real-time ray tracing possible.
These two engines – along with more powerful compute for simulation and enhanced rasterization – usher in a new generation of hybrid rendering to address the $250 billion visual effects industry. Hybrid rendering enables cinematic-quality interactive experiences, amazing new effects powered by neural networks and fluid interactivity on highly complex models.
The company also unveiled its initial Turing-based products – the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000, Quadro RTX 6000 and Quadro RTX 5000 GPUs – which will revolutionize the work of some 50 million designers and artists across multiple industries.
NVIDIA’s eighth-generation GPU architecture, Turing enables the world’s first ray-tracing GPU and is the result of more than 10,000 engineering-years of effort. By using Turing’s hybrid rendering capabilities, applications can simulate the physical world at 6x the speed of the previous Pascal generation.
To help developers take full advantage of these capabilities, NVIDIA has enhanced its RTX development platform with new AI, ray-tracing and simulation SDKs. It also announced that key graphics applications addressing millions of designers, artists and scientists are planning to take advantage of Turing features through the RTX development platform.
The Turing architecture is armed with dedicated ray-tracing processors called RT Cores, which accelerate the computation of how light and sound travel in 3D environments at up to 10 GigaRays a second. Turing accelerates real-time ray tracing operations by up to 25x that of the previous Pascal generation, and GPU nodes can be used for final-frame rendering for film effects at more than 30x the speed of CPU nodes.
The Turing architecture also features Tensor Cores, processors that accelerate deep learning training and inferencing, providing up to 500 trillion tensor operations a second.
This level of performance powers AI-enhanced features for creating applications with powerful new capabilities. These include DLAA – deep learning anti-aliasing, which is a breakthrough in high-quality motion image generation – denoising, resolution scaling and video re-timing.
These features are part of the NVIDIA NGX software development kit, a new deep learning-powered technology stack that enables developers to easily integrate accelerated, enhanced graphics, photo imaging and video processing into applications with pre-trained networks.
Turing-based GPUs feature a new streaming multiprocessor (SM) architecture that adds an integer execution unit executing in parallel with the floating point datapath, and a new unified cache architecture with double the bandwidth of the previous generation.
Combined with new graphics technologies such as variable rate shading, the Turing SM achieves unprecedented levels of performance per core. With up to 4,608 CUDA cores, Turing supports up to 16 trillion floating point operations in parallel with 16 trillion integer operations per second.
Developers can take advantage of NVIDIA’s CUDA 10, FleX and PhysX SDKs to create complex simulations, such as particles or fluid dynamics for scientific visualization, virtual environments and special effects.

12 Months in View: December - a little bit early.
Do you record the month of December?
I have just found this Debbie Hodge class: Your December Story. I don't know what it is like but it may interest you.
The two most famous December diaries are Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas and Ali Edwards' December Daily.
And this is the one that I might do: Reverb 2013. Each day there's a question to answer that is related to events, thoughts and feelings during 2013 rather than a record of December & Christmas activities.
Whatever you choose to do I hope you enjoy it.

Dinner at my dads restaurant!
Road captain Julia Soek is now in her sixth season with Team Sunweb and feels right at home. But cycling wasn’t always in her plans. Growing up, Julia was originally doing judo before suffering an injury which forced her to the sidelines.
In a team that takes pride in developing young talent, the Dutchwoman joked she “feels a little bit old now!” But as well as being on hand to help other riders with their development, she still seeks improvements herself.
Off the bike, Julia is midway through a degree in marketing and communications of commercial economic and promises when she graduates (hopefully this season) she will throw a massive party to celebrate.
Her parents also own a restaurant that she works in during holidays.

At Headcorn, the airfield where I learnt to skydive many years ago, I picked up the nickname ‘Special Branch’ on my second jump. This was earned after I landed in a tree on an otherwise empty dropzone — a feat of accuracy I was unaware of at the time.
2. I focused on the object I needed to avoid.
Fear is part of being human, it’s a necessary function that keeps us safe. The problem occurs when we run at the same heightened level of fear for all situations. For example, it’s good to have the tension of fear when jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane; when you lose that fear you are most at risk. It’s also important to have perspective, to assess the level of fear for the situation you are in.
1. Does this level of fear and (fill in the gap) match the situation?
2. What’s the worst that could happen?
3. What am I really afraid of?
I had this conversation with one of my clients Remy*. Remy desperately wanted his team to step up, and he would regularly complain about the lack of leadership, ownership and knowledge that his team showed. Some days he would smile indulgently when he spoke about the dependency his team had on him. Other days he would say the same sentence with frustration, anger and blame.
Remy described himself as the linchpin of the department, without him it would all fall apart. He only saw obstacles and focused on them. Some of these were valid and some were created and viewed from the lens of amplified fear — the fear of letting go of control.
We need to let go of control in order to gain control.
With focused effort and practice Remy learnt to let go of the fear of letting go. I asked Remy to share the top three tips that helped him detox from the need to control every aspect of the work he and his team did.
“When we first talked about control, I pushed back. It wasn’t the first time someone had raised this, my reaction was to shoot them down. Awareness that I was the problem was hard to accept. This was the biggest hurdle. When you asked me what I got, what my payback was from control, I disliked you even more! Once I got through this the rest was surprisingly easier.
“I went back to leadership basics, and started delegating tasks/projects that I assessed as being low risk. My job then was to stay out of the way, which I did. No surprises that my team began to do more, once they trusted that I wouldn’t overreact and their confidence and trust grew.
When we are taught to set goals, the advice is always to focus on what you want from the goal. Equally important is to turn away from what you don’t want, put less focus on the block — or in my case, the tree! To land in one of the trees that lined a big empty airfield resulted from being ‘object’ or ‘target fixated’.
Object fixation (or target fixation) occurs when you are so intently focused on an object or target (in this case, it was keeping the trees in sight so I didn’t fly into them) that you are unable to see anything else. Of course, the opposite happens — what you focus on is where you will end up, hence finding myself hanging from a tree on a cold day in Kent back in 1990s. The simple remedy would have been to turn my back on the tree.
In business and life it’s not easy to turn away from the obstacle, however being fixated by it is problematic. We can get so focused on what we want to avoid (the obstacle) that we don’t give space for what we do want and like a moth to the flame, we get burnt.
Remy and his team began to reframe their discussions and meetings on what was needed, and this took them to a more creative space to solve challenges. They kept the hazards in sight, however, they didn’t make it the sole focus and gave space for other conversations to happen.
When the conversation is focused on what must not happen this leaves no space for what needs to happen.
• The focus is on the problem and fixing it, when understanding the issues causing the problem would better serve the higher agenda and strategic outcomes.
Like a coin has two sides, next time your team gathers and the conversation is on the obstacles, flip to the other side and drill down on what is needed to move away from landing in it.
*Remy thank you for taking time to reflect back over our work many years ago and for sharing your learning.
If you haven’t seen Elizabeth Gilbert’s Ted Talk ‘Your Elusive Genius’ take some time to watch it and be inspired.

Heavy winds the last few days on Lake Okeechobee. Today, I fished with John and Mary Rogers from New York.
The wind on the Lake Okeechobee slowed down today and was much easier to fish. Today I fished with Josh Webb from New York, a really good bass fisherman. We used swim baits, other plastics, top water plugs to capture over 50 bass in just 6 hours.

Viewers of Sean Hannity’s weeknight primetime program on Fox News have certainly become familiar with Sara Carter, as she makes near-daily appearances on the show to discuss the latest news about the “deep state” allegedly operating within the U.S. government.
Recent reporting suggests that Fox News executives take exception to the way Hannity routinely introduces Carter as an “investigative reporter” and have asked him to stop doing so, but that he has refused to abide by that request.
The revelation came amid a lengthy and in-depth article from Mediaite, which looked at how the Fox News Channel has been dealing with coordinated advertiser boycotts targeted at several primetime hosts, as well as how Fox generally tries to differentiate the hard news reporting from the opinion shows in its daily program lineup, something other news networks tend not to do.
That distinction between news and opinion has become crucial at a time when the network is facing concerted opposition from the political left and other media outlets.
Though Fox has attempted to cultivate a reputation for being “fair and balanced,” the network has recently been negatively smeared as “state-run media” and a “propaganda machine” that serves as the unofficial mouthpiece of President Donald Trump’s administration, characterizations that stem from the fact that the network doesn’t report negatively on every single thing done by the president and his administration.
Hannity, along with Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, are quite obviously regarded as pro-Trump opinion hosts, and they are generally given wide latitude by network executives in terms of discussion topics and invited guests, some of whom are not permitted to appear on the hard news programs that air during the day.
Sara Carter is reportedly one of those guests who has been “banned” from the news side of Fox, as network officials do not regard her as a serious journalist.
Indeed, the Mediaite report stated that Fox executives asked Hannity to cease referring to Carter as an “investigative reporter” because her reports are not vetted by the network, nor do they meet the news division’s editorial guidelines.
However, Hannity has essentially ignored that request from the executives, and has continued to introduce Carter as an “investigative reporter” when she is invited on to discuss the latest tidbits she and others have dug up about the inner workings of the Obama administration and the still ongoing efforts to undermine President Trump.
The Mediaite report suggested that Hannity really doesn’t care what the network executives think or want, as the top-rated host — who reportedly has a $35 million contract — is largely viewed as being “untouchable” due to his status as the top star in the lineup.
That said, the report did reveal that Hannity had reluctantly given in to executive demands on a prior occasion, when he was told to cease his extensive coverage in 2017 of the conspiracy surrounding the mysterious death of a Democratic National Committee staffer named Seth Rich, who had been tied by some to the 2016 hack of the DNC’s email server, much of which was later released to the public via WikiLeaks.
Sara Carter may not meet the network’s definition of a vetted and approved “investigative reporter,” but Hannity has thus far refused to bow to the demands from executives that he stop referring to her as such. Given his strong stance against being bullied, it is likely that he will only double down and continue to do so.

Frankfurt Book Fair 2016 is almost upon us – it’s the busiest time of the year for EDItEUR, and the best time of year to meet as many EDItEUR members as possible.
Following last year’s successful re-launch of EDItEUR’s Supply Chain Seminar as an independent event, EDItEUR will once again be hosting the 38th International Supply Chain Seminar. We are pleased to have worked closely with Frankfurt Book Fair on this, and the half-day Seminar will again be held within the Buchmesse on the afternoon of Tuesday 18th October, the day before the main Fair opens. The even begins at 1pm, and will as always focus on the technical aspects of publishing metadata and identifiers, standards and supply chain communication in which EDItEUR specialises.
EDItEUR will of course also be holding its usual meetings for the International Committees for ICEDIS, Thema and ONIX, as well as its Open Meeting for Members and a new EDItX International Steering Committee meeting. Details of these meetings can be found in the Forthcoming Events listing below.
A key programme highlight will be an in-depth review of the findings of an updated study by Nielsen on The link between metadata and sales . The original 2011 study has been brought up to date with new data and a new look at how the value of metadata has changed over five years.
The speaker programme focuses on real-world case studies, standards and best practices, and strategies that use technology to extract the most value from the supply chain, and the main programme will be followed by a reception to celebrate 25 years of EDItEUR.
The International ISBN Agency’s Annual General Meeting took place on 21st and 22nd September in Vienna, Austria, thanks to our kind hosts from Hauptverband des Österreichischen Buchhandels, the organisation which operates the Austria ISBN Agency. We are extremely grateful to Markus Toyfl, Ulrike Huetter and Michaela Vollath for all their hard work in preparing for the meeting, as well as for their assistance during the meeting itself. There were about 80 delegates at the meeting representing nearly 50 different ISBN agencies – or about one third of all ISBN agencies across the globe. A number of agencies attended for the first time, including Gibraltar and Morocco, so we were particularly glad to see them at the meeting and to have the chance to discuss ISBN matters with them. The International ISMN Agency and the International ISSN Centre also attended. One of the major discussion topics during the meeting was the draft for the new ISBN Users’ Manual (7th edition). It was very pleasing that this generated a lot of ideas from the delegates, particularly in terms of extending the guidance offered on scope and qualification for ISBN. The ad hoc group working on the Manual will be seeking to incorporate these into the next draft, and will also to prepare a set of FAQs.
The most recent translation (to Indonesian) of the current Users’ Manual is now available on the International ISBN Agency website at https://www.isbn-international.org/content/isbn-users-manual. ISBN guidance (the Users’ Manual , handbooks etc) is now available from that site in 21 languages in addition to English.
We congratulate Piero Attanasio, Beat Barblan and Jon Windus who have been re-elected to the International ISBN Agency Board. We also congratulate Ronald Schild (Chairman) and Beat (Treasurer) on being unanimously re-elected to their Offices on the Board.
Following the release of Thema version 1.2 earlier in the year, several of the translations available have been updated, to incorporate the new categories added with the revised release, and occasionally, to improve the translation and notes available in each language. The lastest translated text of the international, multilingual subject category scheme can always be found on the interactive browser at http://editeur.dyndns.org/thema, and most languages are also available in various different formats – Excel, HTML, PDF, XML and so on – from the EDItEUR website.
The latest addition to the version 1.2 browser is Lithuanian – a draft for version 1.1 was added in July, but has now been improved, extended and coupled with Lithuanian user interface text by the Lithuanian Publishers Association (below right).
The first fruits of the Chinese Thema national group – a set of geographical qualifier extensions covering the provinces and municipalities of China – has been ratified and added to the scheme. There were previously just four geographical qualifiers ‘underneath’ the 1FPC Thema code for China, and now there are an additional 37 (above left). A full Chinese translation of the Thema scheme is expected to be available soon.
Thema codes and headings in many languages are available from the EDItEUR website in spreadsheet format, which may be suitable for anyone wishing to incorporate single-language Thema support into their own systems. However, for organisations aiming to build in multi-lingual support, the many spreadsheets involved would be cumbersome. In fact, a handful of organisations have already tried to ‘scrape’ the entire database by downloading every HTML page from the online browser – nearly 75,000 pages – and they would have to do this regularly to get updates.
To avoid this, the full database – as used in the online browser – is now available on request to EDItEUR members as a SQLite file. Please contact Graham Bell at EDItEUR. This simple SQL data format will be kept up to date with quarterly releases as improvements and new languages are added. This follows a limited trial with a couple of system developers, who have been able to avoid unnecessary work with Excel files and reported significant savings in development time.
Issue 35 is intended for ratification at the meeting of the ONIX International Steering Committee during the Frankfurt Book Fair, and should be published before the end of October.
Issue 36 is planned for publication in January 2017, so if you have suggestions or requirements for new codes, these should be discussed with EDItEUR or with your ONIX national group.
It is likely that Issue 36 will be the last compatible with ONIX 2.1. Beyond January 2017, ONIX 2.1 will continue to work with issue 36, but additions to codelists made in Issue 37 and later will not be available within 2.1 – even where the codelist is currently shared between 2.1 and 3.0.
Graham Bell will deliver the ONIX: essentials and ONIX: advanced topics full-day courses as part of BIC’s training programme on November 1st and 2nd in London. Details from BIC (essentials, advanced) and registration via Eventbrite (essentials, advanced). EDItEUR members are eligible for the BIC members rate when booking these courses.
The next full ICEDIS Meeting is fast approaching. The meeting will be held in Frankfurt, at the beginning of Book Fair week on the afternoon of Monday 17th October. EDItEUR will be welcoming ICEDIS participants from 1:30pm at the Hotel Bristol, Ludwigstrasse 15, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, with the meeting itself running from 2–5:00pm. The meeting is of course be open to all EDItEUR members with a particular interest in serials, and to other interested guests by invitation.
On this occasion, we’re particularly pleased to announce that guest speaker Heather Staines of ProQuest/SIPX will be updating delegates on current developments at COUNTER. Heather has recently joined the COUNTER Board of Directors and will be letting us know how this crucial service for measuring the usage of online resources is streamlining and developing its approaches.
The agenda for the meeting will be circulated shortly, and will include news of ONIX-PC as well as ideas on how we can broaden the ICEDIS forum and membership to wider-ranging exchanges on standards, best practices and public identifiers. In the meantime, please drop a line to Tim Devenport at EDItEUR if you are planning to participate so we can plan the logistics (most notably, supplies of seats and coffee!). On behalf of co-chairs Laurie Kaplan, Henning Schoenenberger and the EDItEUR team, we look forward to seeing you in Frankfurt!
EDItEUR will be hosting a briefing session aimed particularly at colleagues from North America, during the week of the Charleston Conference in November. The session will be held on the morning of Wednesday 2nd November in the Courtyard Marriott Charleston Historic District (one of the main Charleston Conference venues), 125 Calhoun St, Charleston, SC 29401.
During this session we’ll present information about the range of standards-related activities in which EDItEUR is involved and that we hope are relevant to the challenges faced by many in the publisher-to-library supply chain. A detailed agenda will be available shortly.
Some topics will relate directly to serials, but others will cover our work on descriptive metadata for books supply (ONIX for Books) which is of interest to library system vendors, issues of subject classification spanning many international markets (Thema) and initiatives to provide structured definitions of publisher policy as it relates to Open Access. And NISO will have a guest spot to cover recent initiatives and emerging best practices.
Participation is free and open to colleagues from any of EDItEUR’s member organizations. We would also like to encourage interested guests by invitation from among the wider community of Charleston Conference participants. Either way, please email Tim Devenport for more details and to let us know you are planning to come along.
EDItEUR is pleased to announce that Chris Saynor will be joining the organisation to take on the key role of Standards Editor at the end of October.

One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's tool box.
"I'm looking for a few days' work" he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?" "Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you." "Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbour; in fact, it's my younger brother.
Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll do him one better."
See that pile of lumber by the barn? My younger brother wants me to build a fence an 8-foot fence so he won't need to see my place or my face anymore."
The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."
The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge - a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all and the neighbour, his younger brother, was coming towards them, his hand outstretched. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done." The farmer says," I am sorry for whatever conflicts happened. Please forgive me. "
The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother. "I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, but I have many more bridges to build.
Dadashri says, "We should avoid conflicts at all costs. If conflicts arise we should take the blame on ourselves and admit that the fault is ours if the problem is to be solved quickly. By accepting the blame we become noble and graceful to all around us. The other person will feel our love and notice our openness. When enmity goes away love prevails."

For most of the past century, Bob Hoover has given his heart and soul to America. He represents the very best in us, not only as the greatest pilot in the world but as a true gentleman. As a friend and advocate of aviation and aerospace, Bob Hoover is the one pilot all pilots look up to. This trophy will allow millions of visitors to continue to look up to Bob for centuries to come.
The goal of our effort is to place a life-size statue of Bob Hoover in Washington, DC.
This trophy is to be a life size bronze statue of Bob Hoover, waving his straw hat to the world as he has done for millions of people over the past decades. With the funds raised in this effort, the statue will not only be built, but placed in the museum setting for perpetuity.
In addition to the trophy and its perpetual care, your contribution will help fund a new national recognition award. The “Hoover Trophy” will be presented each year to “a living aviator who exhibits the airmanship, leadership, and passion for aviation and life demonstrated by R. A. ‘Bob’ Hoover during his distinguished career as a pilot and aviation advocate while also serving as a source of inspiration and encouragement for current and prospective aviators.” Their names will join Bob’s on the Award.
An effort of this magnitude requires a commitment from all of us. Every dollar raised will go to funding the creation of the life size trophy, its perpetual care and creation of the annual Annual Award.
Every contributor will be invited to include their names in a time capsule placed inside the base of the trophy. The time capsule is to be opened 100 years from the anniversary of the trophy’s dedication. Larger sponsors will be invited to include additional commemorative document or memorial remembrance in keeping with their level of support.
Bob Hoover has been giving unselfishly to the aviation community for his entire lifetime, time is of the essence for this project to be completed. We urge you to support this perpetual honor for the Pilot’s Pilot, for The Best Stick and Rudder Pilot Who Ever Lived, for a Great American and a friend to all of us, R.A. “Bob” Hoover.
Please Donate by clicking the large gold button to the right.
Please make your tax deductible contribution to "Bob Hoover Memorial Trophy" in care of the Aviation Foundation of America, Inc., a 501(c)3 public charity.
