Samuel McCrea Cavert was general secretary from the creation of the NCC in 1950 until January 1954. He was succeeded by Roy G. Ross who was general secretary from 1954 to 1963. R.H. Edwin Espy was general secretary from 1963 to 1973.
According to the By-Laws of the National Council of Churches Roy G. Ross presided over an elaborately organized staff of two hundred executive and five hundred clerical workers, usually served as spokesman of the Council, and kept in close touch with the President, who served from one General Assembly to the next. During Ross's administration the interval between General Assemblies, and hence the term of the President, was increased from two to three years. Ross served as General Secretary under presidents William C. Martin (1952-1954), Eugene Carson Blake (1954-1957), Edwin T. Dahlberg (1957-1960) and J. Irwin Miller (1960 to 1963). Miller, an Ohio industrialist, was the first lay president of the Council.
Roy George Ross came to the National Council of Churches from the post of Executive Secretary of the International Council of Religious Education, which he held for 15 years, and where he played a major role in the complex process of organizing the NCC. He began his career in the Council in 1950 as Associate General Secretary under Samuel McCrea Cavert, and succeeded him in 1954. In both the ICRE and the NCC he had overall administrative responsibility for the production of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. During Ross's tenure at the NCC the Interchurch Center was opened in New York as the permanent home of the Council and also the headquarters of many other Christian bodies. During his administration the Council experienced its greatest period of expansion, but also suffered severe attacks from right-wing critics, climaxing in the Air Force Manual controversy in 1960.
The responsibility of the general secretary, as executive officer of the Council, shall be to provide leadership in the formulation, conduct, and interpretation of the Council program, policy and administration.
Twelve more specific responsibilities are appended.
E.H. Edwin Espy came to the NCC as the final stage of a career entirely devoted to administrative work in the world wide ecumenical movement. A Baptist layman, he joined the staff of the Division of Christian Life and Work of the NCC in 1955, became Associate General Secretary under Roy G. Ross in 1957, and succeeded Ross as General Secretary in 1963. In that position he presided over the two major restructurings of the Council, in 1966 and 1972.
Espy presided over the Council throughout the stormiest period in its history to date. Although the red-baiting of the earlier period subsided, the Council achieved its highest level of involvement in the racial issue and in responding to the Vietnam War. Other major issues of the period were the Supreme Court's decision in the school prayer case (which divided the constituency of the Council), the Council’s commitment to racial justice in South Africa, and the cause of the farm workers. Distinctive also during this period was the new, deep and broad relation with the Roman Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. In 1968-1969 the Council led its member churches in its "Crisis in the Nation" program and during the period experienced the single most dramatic moment of its history to that date with the Black Manifesto and the occupation of the Council's premises in the summer of 1969.
It is a puzzling paradox that the NCC appears to have better standing in certain specialized circles than it does with the general public and in the secular community than it does among church people, including the membership of NCC member communions whom it is designed primarily to serve.
To provide a means for obtaining participation by members of the executive staff in the consideration and discussion of policies, procedures, problems, and related matters of general interest to the various parts of the Council.
To assist in the communication and interpretation of policies and procedures and of actions taken or contemplated which are of general interest to the various parts of the Council.
To assist in obtaining effective coordination of the work of various programs and activities of the Council.
To provide a means by which key members of the executive staff may gain a broader knowledge and understanding of the programs and activities of the various parts of the Council.
The General Cabinet met monthly under the direction of the general secretary. Membership of the General Cabinet consisted of over forty members of the executive staff drawn from the various units of the NCC. In 1965 the General Cabinet became the Elected Staff Assembly. The General Secretariat was made up of those staff members who were responsible for the overall administration of the NCC and who worked under the immediate supervision of the general secretary. This included individuals such as the associate general secretary, the assistant general secretary for program, the assistant general secretary for field operations, and the director of finance. The General Secretariat met monthly on the same day as the General Cabinet. It served as a forum for communication among staff members and as an advisory council to the general secretary.
The General Secretary's Staff Conference was "used to bring to bear the thinking of the major administrative officers of the Council on policies, procedures, and problems of general interest; to obtain the advice of these officers with respect to recommendations for changes in general policy and procedures, and for the solution of problems; and to communicate and interpret to these officers decisions made concerning such matters and the basis therefore." The membership of the Staff Conference included the associate general secretary, the assistant general secretaries, and the executive heads of the various program units of the NCC. The Staff conference originally met for one hour each week, but later meetings only occurred periodically. In 1965 the Staff Conference was reorganized so that its function became one primarily of communication about the concerns and thrusts of the Council.
The files of Samuel McCrea Cavert, 1950-1954, are arranged alphabetically by subject, name of individual, and name of organization. A general file for each letter of the alphabet precedes subject files for the same letter of the alphabet (i.e., "A" precedes "Adams, Earl F."). Items within the files are arranged chronologically by year, month, and day; undated documents are placed after all dated material.
The files consist of incoming and outgoing correspondence, memoranda, minutes, agenda, reports, budgets, financial statements, speeches, press releases, policy statements, membership lists, itineraries, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings. The files detail the years immediately following the establishment of the NCC and concern its early growth as a national organization. The files also concern a variety of subjects such as communism, civil defense, genocide, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, motion pictures, segregation, social security, universal military training, the Vatican, and war claims.
Series II represents the "reading files" of the General Secretariat under Ross's leadership. Included in it are the files of such other staff members as Roswell Barnes, R.H. Edwin Espy, H.L. Brininger, Wilbur Parry, Margaret Rieber and others. The files combine topical and alphabetic systems of organization; the more important topics and individuals being given separate headings. A single issue, unit or individual may have a separate folder one year and be lumped in an alphabetical file the next, depending on the importance or volume of correspondence. There is some overlapping of topical headings, and also some overlapping within annual files. In some cases material for a number of years will accumulate in a single file.
Major portions of the 1959 and 1961 files are missing. Beginning in 1959 an attempt was made to cull the files for archival preservation, and they are not as full as in the preceding years. A collection of Ross's speeches and prayers covering the entire period appear at the end of this series.
These files reflect such events of the period 1954-1962 as the end of the career of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, but also continued intense concern with the Council's political image and relations with the member denominations and influential lay people. The Air Force Manual issue is reflected throughout the files for 1960 and 1961. A major event for the Council was the deputation to the churches of the Soviet Union in 1956 which led to subsequent visits both ways.
Other matters prominent in the records are the Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches, held at Evanston, Illinois in 1954; the Central Committee of WCC met at New Haven in 1957; the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Second Vatican Council, both occurring in 1962. Strong interest in relations with the churches in China is evident from 1956, and a major controversy erupted when the World Order Study Conference in 1958 called for recognition of the People's Republic.
Series III represents the "reading files" of the General Secretariat through the years 1963 to 1969, sometimes in annual, sometimes biennial series. Also present at different points are the "desk files" of the General Secretary himself. No ordered system of files exists for the years 1970-1973 but rather fragments of several series, here arranged in a quite tentative and subjective way. Included in them are files of the addresses and articles of Espy from 1959 to 1973. These files were drastically culled by the NCC staff for archival purposes, so that Espy's eleven years are represented by 8 linear feet of material, whereas Ross's ten years by 23 linear feet.
Series IV, the General Cabinet, 1950-1968, files contain materials primarily from the files of Samuel M. Cavert and Roy G. Ross. The files are arranged alphabetically by subject. Items within the files are arranged chronologically by year, month, and day; undated documents are placed after all dated material.
The files consist chiefly of minutes and agenda of the General Cabinet and its successor, the Elected Staff Assembly. In addition the files contain correspondence, memoranda, reports, and budgets. There are a number of files concerning committees created by the General Cabinet to deal with various topics such as the biennial assembly, summer conferences, the staff retreat, and publication procedures.
The General Secretariat, 1958-1972, Series V files consist of minutes and agenda with accompanying documentation including correspondence, memoranda, reports, budgets, and attendance sheets. The documents are arranged chronologically by year, month, and day and concern the activities, program, and policies of the NCC.
The General Secretary's Staff Conference, 1954-1964, Series VI files consist of minutes and agenda with accompanying documentation including correspondence, memoranda, reports, budgets, and attendance records. The documents are arranged chronologically by year, month, and day and concern the activities, program, and policies of the NCC.
After 1964 minutes were not recorded for meetings of the Staff Conference. A small amount of material concerning post-1964 meetings of the Staff Conference may be found in the files of the General Secretariat.

During this tumultuous time, your mind is in no doubt racing with questions. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about the divorce process which can be the cause of great distress and concern for a potential client. Gwendolyn J. Sterk and the Family Law Group is here to make the process easier. It is our goal to help educate you about the realities of a divorce action, estate planning, or any other family law matter you may be facing. We strongly recommend that you schedule a consultation appointment with our Group in order to address your specific concerns and answer your questions in detail. The consultation appointment is free and will give you an opportunity to discuss your specific situation. In the interim, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions that may help settle your nerves prior to your meeting with us. These questions might also prompt you to note other issues that you may want addressed at the time of your consultation.
Please take some time to review the items below and make a list of any additional questions you would like addressed at the time of your meeting. This will help ensure that the time spent in your consultation is comprehensive and focuses on your specific concerns. During the initial consultation, you will receive a lot of information in a short period of time. Although it can be overwhelming, reviewing this list of frequently asked questions, as well as the other information contained in our web site, will help give you a general overview of what to expect during your consultation. This is a great way to prepare for your meeting with us. We are here to help you and feel confident that our team will be able to provide you with the legal answers for which you are looking.
Why should I hire your Family Law Group?
Our firm has a unique team approach to handling your case. You are not simply assigned to one person who exclusively handles your file. Members of our team work together in a concerted effort relative to your case to maximize the best service possible on your behalf. Our clients are able to contact any member of our team ensuring prompt, individual attention. We understand the importance of getting your questions answered as soon as possible, and we strive to return every client phone call within 24 to 48 hours.
What’s unique about your firm?
We approach each case in a comprehensive, holistic manner. We not only work toward a reasonable legal resolution, but provide access to outside resources as well. It is our collective goal to help stabilize your overall future following any significant change in your family structure.
How much does the consultation cost?
Each and every client is offered a one-time FREE confidential consultation with an attorney in our Family Law Group.
How long will it take to get an appointment for a consultation?
Usually, you will be able to get in to meet with one of our attorneys within several days. Call our office immediately and we will work with you to schedule a mutually agreeable time for you to come in for an appointment.
The consultation appointment usually lasts about 30 minutes. However, if you decide to retain our services that same day, your appointment may be longer.
Do I need to come early to the consultation appointment?
Yes, we recommend that you come in about 10-15 minutes early, as there will be some documentation that you will need to complete prior to meeting with one of our attorneys. However, the same documentation is also available here on our web site; therefore, if you have the ability, you can download, review and complete both the Statement of Client’s Rights and Responsibilities as well as the Divorce Information Sheet prior to your appointment.
Can I bring my children to the consultation appointment?
No. As the allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time may be an issue, we do not believe that it is appropriate for your children to be present during meetings involving your case, including your consultation.
Can we (husband and wife) have a consultation together?
Absolutely not. We can only represent one of you, therefore, we will only meet with you individually at the time of the consultation. If your spouse chooses to represent him or herself as an unrepresented litigant (acting as his/her own attorney), then our office can directly communicate with them, just like an opposing counsel. However, our office will not give legal advice to anyone other than our client.
Will my spouse find out I met with you?
No, your consultation is confidential.
Do I need to make a decision that day if I want to retain the firm?
No you do not. We encourage you to take your time to make a decision about whether or not to retain an attorney. When you feel comfortable and ready to proceed with our office, simply call us and we will assist you from there. When you make the call, make sure to mention that you previously had a consultation appointment so we can review your Divorce Information Sheet and help you get started.
Once you make the decision to proceed, the next step is to retain the same day as your consultation or to schedule an appointment with a member of our staff. They will meet with you to go over our office procedures and what is required to file the initial documentation with the Court.
Where will my case be filed?
Once you retain our firm to represent you, we will handle all required court filings and court appearances. You will not need to be present in Court for the majority of your scheduled court dates as we will appear for you on your behalf.
Does it matter which spouse files first?
No, legally it is not relevant. However, there may be practical or logistical reasons for filing first. We will develop a strategy with you in that regard during your initial consultation.
What if I just ignore the divorce papers?
As a general rule of thumb, there is no advantage to ignore or evade service of legal documents. Further, it is imperative that if served, you seek the advice of counsel. If you have already been served with documentation, please contact us immediately to schedule an initial consultation.
Can I take takes steps to protect my assets?
If you have a genuine concern that your spouse may deny you access to marital funds, you can take steps to protect your interests. At the initial consultation, we will explore options with you regarding the marital assets, which can include a possible financial restraining order to protect yourself.
Can I change the locks on the marital residence?
If you feel as though your life is being threatened, your first step should be to call 911. If you are not in imminent harm, we recommend that you contact our office to schedule a consultation to further discuss this subject.
How long can I expect this process will take?
Each and every case is different, therefore, the amount of time it will take to reach a resolution is not easily determined. The duration of the process will always depend on the individual circumstances of your individual matter. At your consultation, we can address this question further.
What are my remedies if I am a victim of domestic violence?
First and foremost, call 911.
Secondly, an Order of Protection can be obtained through the Court to those in need of protection. On an urgent basis, an Order of Protection can be requested from the Court before you ever file a family law action. We can address this at your consultation, but in no way should you avoid seeking immediate help if you are in imminent harm.
Can I change lawyers during my case?
As a general rule, you can elect to hire new counsel as you have the right to be represented by an attorney of your choice. Contact our office for a free consultation to explore these options.
Our Group recognizes that hiring an attorney and being involved in a legal action can be a huge financial burden. That is why our Group believes in a Team approach to managing your case. Every client has an opportunity to be a proactive member of the team and take steps that will help save us time, and in turn help our clients save money. Please refer to the Tips section under the “Words of Wisdom” for a list of just a few ways to help keep your costs down once you have retained our firm.
Do you handle contested parenting disputes?
Yes, our first goal is to amicably resolve parenting disputes. However, we recognize that there are those instances where the Courts are forced to make a decision about the allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time and care of your children. Our office will walk you through the entire process and advocate on your behalf consistent with the best interest of the children. At your consultation, we will explore options and advise as to the steps in this process.
Will I have to pay child support?
This question is not a simple inquiry to answer. There are many variables that affect the payment of child support. However, Illinois views child support as a supreme right of a child, and both parents have a duty to support their children. That being said, your best option is to contact us to schedule a free consultation to discuss your specific situation.
In Illinois, maintenance is formally known as alimony and is also known as spousal support. The issue of maintenance/spousal support is complex and varies greatly depending on the facts of the case. You need to schedule a consultation so that one of our attorneys can address this particular issue with you.
What should I tell my spouse?
Depending on the circumstances of your case, at the time of the consultation we will discuss with you a strategy as to when and how your spouse will be told you filed for divorce.
What if my spouse has already hired an attorney?
It does not matter if your spouse has already hired an attorney. Once you retain our office, we will contact your spouse’s attorney and deal directly with that individual so that you need not take any further action on your own.
What about a Legal Separation?
There are times and circumstances where a legal separation is appropriate and times and circumstances when it only delays the inevitable. At your consultation, we will address this issue and explore your options.
What if I do not know about the financial matters of my case?
Believe it or not, this is not uncommon. If this is the case, we will take the necessary legal steps to ensure that you gain access to financial records and that you obtain a working knowledge of the financial affairs of your marriage.
Have more questions? Schedule your free initial consultation to see how we can assist you with your Cook County, Will County, and DuPage County family law needs. Call us today at 815-600-8950 or contact us online.

The world will suffer another financial crisis, former Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan has told the BBC.
"The crisis will happen again but it will be different," he told BBC Two's The Love of Money series.
He added that he had predicted the crash would come as a reaction to a long period of prosperity.
But while it may take time and be a difficult process, the global economy would eventually "get through it", Mr Greenspan added.
"They [financial crises] are all different, but they have one fundamental source," he said.
The BBC reports on the first anniversary of the credit crunch across radio, TV, and online.
"That is the unquenchable capability of human beings when confronted with long periods of prosperity to presume that it will continue."
Speaking a year after the collapse of US investment bank Lehman Brothers, which was followed by a worldwide financial crisis and global recession, Mr Greenspan described the behaviour as "human nature".
He said the current crisis was triggered by the trade in US sub-prime mortgages - home loans given to people with bad credit histories - but he added that any factor could have been the catalyst.
If it were not the problem of these toxic debts, "something sooner or later would have emerged", Mr Greenspan said.
Mr Greenspan, who when he ran the US central bank was hailed as a man who could move markets, also warned that the world's financial institutions should have seen the looming crisis.
"The bankers knew that they were involved in an under-pricing of risk and that at some point a correction would be made," he said.
"I fear too many of them thought they would be able to spot the actual trigger point of the crisis in time to get out."
He also warned that Britain, with its globally-focussed economy, would be harder hit than the US by the current recession and collapse in world trade.
"Obviously we've both suffered very considerably but ... Britain is more globally oriented as an economy and the dramatic decline in exports globally and trade generally following the collapse of Lehman Brothers had dramatic effects in the financial system of Britain," Mr Greenspan said.
"It's going to take a long while for you [Britain] to work your way through this."
In order to prevent the situation arising again, financiers and governments should look to clamp down on fraud and increase capital requirements for banks, the former central banker said.
Regulations targeting the latter would mean banks would be forced to hold enough money to cover their normal operations and honour withdrawals.
However despite his belief in a brighter future, the former Fed chief did warn that the path to recovery should steer clear of protectionism as applying strict regulations could hamper recent developments that have opened up global trade.
"The most recent endeavour to re-regulate is a reaction to the crisis. The extraordinary impact of these global markets is making a lot of financial people feeling they have lost control.
"The problem is you cannot have free global trade with highly restrictive, regulated domestic markets."
During the interview for BBC Two's The Love of Money series, the former Fed chief said the current economic crisis was a "once in a century type of event", and one that he did not expect to witness.
Blamed by some for not doing more to prevent the crisis, Mr Greenspan denied any responsibility for the problems gripping the global economy.
"It's human nature, unless somebody can find a way to change human nature, we will have more crises and none of them will look like this because no two crises have anything in common, except human nature."
Alan Greenspan was interviewed as part of BBC Two's Love of Money series to be broadcast at 2100 BST on 10, 17 and 24 September.

Here is a quote by Einstein, whose birthday is today.
This school with its liberal spirit and teachers with a simple earnestness that did not rely on any external authority, made an unforgettable impression on me. In comparing it with six years schooling at an authoritarian German Gymnasium, I was made acutely aware how far superior an education that stresses independent action and personal responsibility is to one that relies on drill, external authority and ambition.

What's Your Brand Voice? Literally.
Typing and tapping have had their time in the sun. The era of voice interactions with our devices is upon us. 50% of searches will be made by voice within the next three years, and Amazon has revealed that its Echo Dot is its best selling item from its product catalogue. From a product perspective, it’s almost crowded with how many options consumers have for devices they can speak with from the Echo to Apple’s HomePod to Google Home. These devices are winding their ways into consumers homes, and people are turning to them more and more for information.
This means one thing. The brands that have a presence on these devices will be found, discovered, shared and purchased. The brands that aren’t might as well be invisible.
This raises some key questions for brands. They know how they look. They know their brand beliefs. They know a lot, but how does the brand interact with sound in a conversation? That might not be so clear.
Brands are going to need to think about how they come across in conversations when a human isn’t involved. How does the brand address a myriad of customer questions when a person fluent in a brand’s tone isn’t there to take the reigns? It’s an overwhelming challenge, and overcoming that challenge requires focus.
As brands think about their approach to voice in 2018 a lot of work will need to go into what role their brand can play in voice interactions. Think about the customer and think about how the product is used. Start with considering the most likely questions that might be asked using voice and start there. Think about the role a brand’s voice could play in consumer’s daily lives.
That role may be dictated by scenario. For example, the morning and meal times may be about providing utility, information and productivity. That’s what Campbell’s soup did with its Alexa skill designed to offer hands-free step-by-step recipes for consumers. In the less productive hours, brands that offer a level of entertainment may find their place. Mr. Robot uses its Alexa skill to create an interactive story and game based on the show.
Brands need to dig in and understand the value they can provide through voice. That value may be different than what they currently offer through things like video, social and other executions. The key will be providing a value that is unique and differentiated. The proliferation of voice technology will mean a proliferation of duplicative and less-than-useful executions. The brands that find a unique consumer experience that intersects with a product or brand moment will be a welcome voice when consumers say, “Alexa…"

We are delighted to announce that we have been commissioned by Cranfield University as Landscape Architects to provide a range of services over a period of 3 years to support its programme of Campus enhancement and development at their Cranfield Campus in Bedfordshire.
Although up against some tough competition, we were shortlisted for interview along with 20 other practices including high profile names. Our team is complemented by the inclusion of Dr Nigel Dunnett – Professor of Planting Design, Urban Horticulture and Vegetation Technology in the Department of Landscape, University of Sheffield. Most notable recently was his role as lead horticultural advisor to the London 2012 Olympic Park. Nigel pioneered the use of innovative approaches to landscape planting in the UK, typified by bold and dramatic naturalistic urban plantings. He developed the concept of ‘Pictorial Meadows’ and ‘Urban Meadows’ – perennial and annual meadows that have high wildlife value, strong public appeal, a very long flowering season, and simple, fail-safe establishment and management techniques. The beauty and value of this approach is evident at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
OOBE will be lead consultants assisting the University in realising their vision of creating an overall Landscape Masterplan and Framework for their campus that will create a quality landscape environment to serve the function of the University and its staff and students for the long-term future. An interesting site, the Cranfield campus originated as the College of Aeronautics, established in 1946 at Cranfield’s RAF station.
The Masterplan, developed to meet the University’s aspiration for growth, will provide a framework for the sustainable development of the University over the next 25 years, building on its distinctive strengths, enhancing the students experience and encouraging interdisciplinary work.
We look forward to assisting the University in realising the masterplan and contributing to the University’s growth.

For other uses, see Diplomat (disambiguation).
The Diplomat is an online international news magazine covering politics, society, and culture in the Asia-Pacific region. It is based in Tokyo, Japan.
It was originally an Australian bi-monthly print magazine, founded by Minh Bui Jones, David Llewellyn-Smith and Sung Lee in 2001. The first edition was published in April 2002, with Bui Jones as the founding editor and Llewellyn-Smith the founding publisher.
The magazine was acquired by James Pach through his company Trans-Asia Inc. in December 2007. Pach assumed the role of executive publisher and hired former Penthouse editor Ian Gerrard to update its presentation. Nonetheless, the print edition suffered continued losses, and The Diplomat eventually went completely online in August 2009. Its Sydney office was closed and its headquarters were moved to Tokyo; Jason Miks was appointed editor in September 2009 and Ulara Nakagawa was appointed associate editor. Miks was succeeded as editor by Harry Kazianis before publisher James Pach took over. Shannon Tiezzi currently serves as editor-in-chief, with Catherine Putz as managing editor. Ankit Panda is a senior editor and podcast host. Franz-Stefan Gady and Prashanth Parameswaran are associate editors.
The Diplomat has published interviews with many prominent public figures, including Ali Allawi, Anwar Ibrahim, Ian Macfarlane, Brent Scowcroft, Mike Moore, Jason Yuan, Kim Beazley, Wegger Christian Strømmen, Shankar Prasad Sharma, and Jaliya Wickramasuriya.
Prior to 2004, The Diplomat used to run advertisements emphasising the magazine's Australian perspective by presenting the national flags of the United States, the UK, and Australia and logos of Time and The Economist with a headline "To which view do you subscribe?" Time magazine forced the cancellation of such advertisements.
The Diplomat has entered into formal partnerships with influential public policy and media organizations. One of the most prominent is the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Through a partnership with CSIS's Pacific Forum Young Leaders Programme, The Diplomat provides insights and analysis from up-and-coming young professionals. The Diplomat also maintains partnerships with RealClearWorld, ENN Environmental News Network, the Foreign Policy Centre, The Interpreter, Danwei, ChinaHush, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, Global Radio News, International Affairs Forum, the Atlantic Sentinel, China Talking Points, War Is Boring, East–West Center, Foreword, and the Vivekananda International Foundation.
In December 2010, the online news aggregator RealClearWorld (RCW) cited The Diplomat as one of the top-five world news sites of 2010. In 2011, RCW again listed The Diplomat as one of its top-five world news sites. The only other website that made RCW's list for two consecutive years is The National Interest.

The future will, of course, be a little odd.
Aliens who visit us from the Planet Plim may not be able to distinguish between humans and machines.
Currently, we're in that peculiar halfway house where we know that automation of the world has begun and we're not sure we like it.
Amazon, though, wants to reassure us. It's only got our best interests at heart.
As long as we keep buying everything via Amazon, of course.
As if to show its penchant for compromise, Jeff Bezos's company has just secured a patent.
Now, depending on how far you are along the Robots Are Our Friends spectrum, you'll either find it glorious or grotesque.
The idea, you see, is for your delightful Alexa on your very ugly Amazon Echo to know you so well that she knows when you're sick.
The Telegraph reports that Alexa will listen out for changes in your speech and interpret other signs of illness or, um, emotion.
So as you're asking Alexa to order you an episode of Doctor Who, Alexa will mutter: "Chris, you're sounding a little peaky. I think I'll order you some NyQuil."
At least, that's in my imagination.
The Telegraph claims that Alexa might be a touch more subtle. She'll just start playing you ads for cough medicine.
I fear this whole idea may actually make some people ill.
The mere idea that a machine will turn into Doctor Knowitall sounds a little, well, deranged.
Yet the Apple Watch has surely paved the painful way toward machines warning us that our bodies -- and, perhaps soon, our minds -- are on the blink.
Why shouldn't your book salesperson be your doctor too? We all admire multitasking, don't we?
Oh, but the patent has more disturbing kinks.
Another aspect of it is that Alexa would detect your mood and suggest things to do.
Or it would hear you weeping and declare you were experiencing an "emotional abnormality."
In which case it would surely recommend you watch a horror movie.
I contacted Amazon to ask whether this was its vision for a glorious future.
I hoped that Alexa would get back to me and tell me that my mood isn't appropriate to be asking such a question. Or something.
Instead, the company declined to comment.
Naturally the palliative is to say that companies file patents all the time. This doesn't mean that they will implement them.
Indeed, Amazon filed a patent that showed its workers being put in cages, before deciding it wasn't, perhaps, the best idea.
I fear, though, that this Dr. Alexa notion is one that very serious. Or, rather, Siri-ous.
Amazon recently bought mail-order pharmacy Pillpack.
How long, therefore, before you never again need to hear: "The doctor will see you now."?
Instead, it'll be: "Dr. Alexa can see you all the time. And hear you as well. And prescribe you a little something right now."

These rankings show how the Nevada sales tax compares to the other 49 states + DC. The state with the highest sales tax is ranked 1st, and states with the same sales tax have a tie rank.
Nevada has a lower-than-average state sales tax rate of 4.60%, but the actual combined sales tax rates are higher than average when local sales taxes from Nevada's 33 local tax jurisdictions are taken into account.
Nevada has a statewide sales tax rate of 4.60%, which has been in place since 1955.
Municipal governments in Nevada are also allowed to collect a local-option sales tax that ranges from 2.25% to 3.665% across the state, with an average local tax of 3.296% (for a total of 7.896% when combined with the state sales tax). The maximum local tax rate allowed by Nevada law is 3.55%. You can lookup Nevada city and county sales tax rates here.
This page provides an overview of the sales tax rates and laws in Nevada. If you are a business owner and need to learn more about things like getting a sales tax permit, filing a sales tax return, or making tax-exempt purchases for resale see the Nevada Sales Tax Handbook's Table of Contents above.
What is exempt from sales taxes in Nevada?
For more details on what types of goods are specifically exempt from the Nevada sales tax see Nevada sales tax exemptions. To learn more about what types of transactions are subject to the sales tax to begin with, see what purchases are taxable in Nevada? Taxation of vehicle purchases in particular are discussed in the page about Nevada's sales tax on cars.
Are services subject to sales tax in Nevada?
"Goods" refers to the sale of tangible personal property, which are generally taxable. "Services" refers to the sale of labor or a non-tangible benefit. In Nevada, specified services are taxable.
The state of Nevada has a relatively complex sales tax rate, and utilizes a flat state tax rate. However, in addition to the flat state tax rate, the Nebraska counties have the ability to impose additional tax rateswhich will vary significantly depending on which jurisdiction you are in. These rates must be approved by voters or by the legislature. These local tax rates would be in addition to the state rate.
Is the Nevada Sales Tax Destination-Based or Origin-Based?
Nevada is a destination-based sales tax state, which means that sales tax rates are determined by the location of the buyer when the transaction is completed. This means that, for orders placed via the internet/mail by a customer within Nevada from a Nevada vendor, the vendor must collect a sales tax rate applicable at the buyer's address (including any applicable local sales taxes). This can significantly increase the complication of filing your sales tax return, because different sales tax rates must be charged to different buyers based on their location.
Is Nevada a Streamlined Sales Tax State?
Nevada is a member of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, which means that the Nevada Department of Taxation has taken significant steps to simplify Nevada's sales tax rules and administration process.
The Nevada Sales Tax is administered by the Nevada Department of Taxation. You can learn more by visiting the sales tax information website at tax.state.nv.us.

You can use heavy forwarders to filter and route event data to Splunk instances. You can also perform selective indexing and forwarding, where you index some data locally and forward the data that you have not indexed to a separate indexer.
For information on routing data to non-Splunk systems, see Forward data to third-party systems.
For information on performing selective indexing and forwarding, see Perform selective indexing and forwarding later in this topic.
Heavy forwarders can filter and route data to specific receivers based on source, source type, or patterns in the events themselves. For example, you can send all data from one group of machines to one indexer and all data from a second group of machines to a second indexer. Heavy forwarders can also look inside the events and filter or route accordingly. For example, you could use a heavy forwarder to inspect WMI event codes to filter or route Windows events. This topic describes a number of typical routing scenarios.
Besides routing to receivers, heavy forwarders can also filter and route data to specific queues, or discard the data altogether by routing to the null queue.
Only heavy forwarders can route or filter all data based on events. Universal and light forwarders cannot inspect individual events except in the case of extracting fields with structured data. They can still forward data based on a host, source, or source type. They can also route based on the stanza for a data input, as described below, in the subtopic, Route inputs to specific indexers based on the data input. Some input types can filter out data types while acquiring them.
You can configure routing only on a heavy forwarder.
How will you identify categories of events?
Where will you route the events?
On the Splunk instance that does the routing, open a shell or command prompt.
In <routing_criteria>, enter the regular expression rules that determine which events get routed. This line is required. Use "REGEX = ." if you don't need additional filtering beyond the metadata specified in props.conf.
DEST_KEY should be set to _TCP_ROUTING to send events via TCP. It can also be set to _SYSLOG_ROUTING.
Set FORMAT to a <target_group> that matches a target group name you defined in outputs.conf. If you specify more than one target group, use commas to separate them. A comma separated list clones events to multiple target groups.
You can set <target_group> to match the name you specified in transforms.conf.
You can set the IP address and port to match the receiving server.
The use cases described in this topic follow this pattern.
On the instance that is to do the routing, open a command or shell prompt.
Edit $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/props.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local to set two TRANSFORMS-routing settings: one for syslog data and a default for all other data.
Edit $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/transforms.conf to set the routing rules for each routing transform.
In this example, if a syslog event contains the word "error", it routes to syslogGroup, not errorGroup. This is due to the settings you previously specified in props.conf. Those settings dictated that all syslog events should be filtered through the syslogRouting transform, while all non-syslog (default) events should be filtered through the errorRouting transform. Therefore, only non-syslog events get inspected for errors.
Edit $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/outputs.conf to define the target groups.
On the Splunk instance that is to do the routing, open a command or shell prompt.
Although similar to forwarder-based routing, queue routing can be performed by an indexer, as well as a heavy forwarder. It does not use the outputs.conf file, only props.conf and transforms.conf.
You can eliminate unwanted data by routing it to the nullQueue, the Splunk equivalent of the Unix /dev/null device. When you filter out data in this way, the data is not forwarded and doesn't count toward your indexing volume.
See Caveats for routing and filtering structured data later in this topic.
Keeping only some events and discarding the rest requires two transforms. In this scenario, which is opposite of the previous, the setnull transform routes all events to nullQueue while the setparsing transform selects the sshd events and sends them on to indexQueue.
You can filter WinEventLog events directly at the forwarder level.
Forwarders have a forwardedindex filter that lets you specify whether data gets forwarded, based on the target index. For example, if you have one data input whose events you have specified to go to the "index1" index, and another whose events you want to go to the "index2" index, you can use the filter to forward only the data targeted to the index1 index, while ignoring the data that is to go to the index2 index.
The forwardedindex filter uses whitelists and blacklists to specify the filtering. For information on setting up multiple indexes, see Create custom indexes in the Managing Indexers and Clusters of Indexers manual.
You can only use the forwardedindex filter under the global [tcpout] stanza. The filter does not work if you specify it under any other outputs.conf stanza.
You can use the forwardedindex.<n>.whitelist|blacklist settings in outputs.conf to specify the data that should be forwarded. You accomplish this by configuring the settings with regular expressions that filter the target indexes.
In most deployments, you do not need to override the default settings.
For more information on how to whitelist and blacklist indexes, see the outputs.conf specification file For more information on default and custom outputs.conf files and their locations, see Types of outputs.conf files.
On a heavy forwarder, you can index locally. To do that, you must set the indexAndForward attribute to "true". Otherwise, the forwarder just forwards your data and does not save it on the forwarder. On the other hand, the forwardedindex attributes only filter forwarded data; they do not filter any data that gets saved to the local index.
If you set indexAndForward to "true" and then filter out some data through forwardedindex blacklist attributes, the forwarder does not forward the blacklisted data, but it does still index the data.
In this scenario, you use inputs.conf and outputs.conf to route data to specific indexers, based on the data's input. Universal and light forwarders can perform this kind of routing.
The forwarder routes data from file1.log to server1 and data from file2.log to server2.
Index all the data before forwarding it. To do this, enable the indexAndForward attribute in outputs.conf.
Index a subset of the data before forwarding it or other data. This is called selective indexing. With selective indexing, you can index some of the data locally and then forward it on to a receiving indexer. Alternatively, you can choose to forward only the data that you don't index locally.
Do not enable the indexAndForward attribute in the [tcpout] stanza if you also plan to enable selective indexing.
To use selective indexing, you must modify both inputs.conf and outputs.conf.
In this example, the presence of the [IndexAndForward] stanza, including the index and selectiveIndexing settings, turns on selective indexing for the forwarder. It enables local indexing for any input (specified in inputs.conf) that has the _INDEX_AND_FORWARD_ROUTING setting.
The presence of the _INDEX_AND_FORWARD_ROUTING setting in inputs.conf tells the heavy forwarder to index that input locally. You can configure the setting to any string value you want. The forwarder looks for the setting itself.
Use the entire [indexAndForward] stanza exactly as shown here.
Note: This is a global stanza, and only needs to appear once in outputs.conf.
The forwarder uses the named <target_group> in inputs.conf to route the inputs.
Since the defaultGroup is set to the non-existent group "noforward" (meaning that there is no defaultGroup), the forwarder only forwards data that has been routed to explicit target groups in inputs.conf. It drops all other data.
The only difference from the previous example is that here, you have specified the _TCP_ROUTING attribute for the input that you are indexing locally. The forwarder routes both source1.log and source2.log to the indexerB_9997 target group, but it only locally indexes the data from source1.log.
Even though you have not set up an explicit routing for source1.log, the forwarder still sends it to the indexerB_9997 target group, since outputs.conf specifies that group as the defaultGroup.
The forwarded data must arrive at the indexer already parsed. To achieve this, you must also set up props.conf on the forwarder that sends the data. This includes configuration of INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS and any other parsing, filtering, anonymizing, and routing rules. Universal forwarders are capable of performing these tasks solely for structured data. See Forward data extracted from header files.
_HTTPOUT_ROUTING is not a valid processor and has been removed from the documentation.
Does anyone already try _HTTPOUT_ROUTING ?
Could we have more documentation about it?
I tried the settings mentioned in the section #Forward_data_for_a_single_index_only, but the result was not as mentioned in the document.
I noticed that all the data from indexer was being forwarded to other set of indexer but I wanted to forward data for a particular index.

Twenty years ago, no one talked about leadership-starved companies. The governing assumption throughout the 20th century was that leadership was an organizational role that a person was hired to perform. The role was one of influence, decision-making and representation of the company in the public sphere.
We are now in a transition that is changing how we perceive the functioning of organizations. It is a time of opportunity to create the organizational models for the next century. In order to do this, we must address our perception of what leadership means as we make our transition from the past into the future.
When I use the term leadership-starved, I am looking at how a body sustains its health as a metaphor for how a company sustains its health. Leaders have this nourishing function. What are the nutrients that leaders develop to feed a healthy organization? There are three that are essential. Belief, trust, and alignment.
Belief nourishes human purpose. When a person believes in the why of a company, they rarely feel compromised in their willingness to give their best.
Belief is the result of more than a well-crafted corporate purpose statement. When a company’s purpose matches its social culture, people will speak about the authenticity of the company. It is a reason why people seek out a company instead of its competitors as a place of employment.
Belief, therefore, nourishes a sense of belonging to something meaningful that is larger than ourselves. This belief is not simply in the company, but of our value and contribution to it. It provides us the motivation to take leadership initiative to make a difference that matters.
Trust is a measure of the respect that exists in a relationship. I wrote about the importance of trust in my post, How Companies Build Trust.* What does the nourishment of trust do for us? There is twin benefit like the two sides of a coin.
Trust nourishes a sense of safety in the workplace. We are willing to accept some risk and vulnerability because we trust the people with whom we work. This kind of trust isn’t an accident that just appears out of nowhere. Trust is a product of intentionality and vigilance in preserving the conditions of respect and acceptance between people.
If trust nourishes a sense of safety, it also nourishes a sense of ambition. When we trust one another, we are willing to place our welfare into one another’s hands. Trust can lead to courage and daring as new ventures are envisioned and executed.
Without trust, fear can creep into the culture of the company. When this happens, the fear of making the wrong decision makes it more likely that an opportunity will pass.
Trust is principally a social, rather than a personal phenomenon. We experience it personally, but it exists between people as the social environment of an organization. Combining trust with belief creates a powerful mix of optimism and commitment to achieve the best possible outcome.
Companies often fail to sustain trust because it gets lost in the chaos of running a company. It isn’t a high priority because the business of business is business.
Soft skills are often misunderstood as being less essential to a positive bottom line. My experience is the opposite.
Where trust exists, higher levels of performance can be found. This isn’t something we are taught in school. It is something that we acquire from practice and a healthy self-awareness.
Alignment creates wholeness within the structure of the business. By making these connections evident, people gain a clear sense of their place within that structure. It is here that the shift from a single leader and many followers to a leader-rich organization can be achieved.
The alignment that I am referring to is that of the three dimensions of leadership – ideas, relationships and organizational structure. The integration of these three dimensions means that there is a common idea which binds them together. This idea is identified as the impact that the company seeks to create.
When each person and each department of a company can state the impact that their individual contributions seek to achieve, then a wholeness is nourished. We become a unified whole when alignment is nourished.
If these are the nutrients of a healthy company, then how do we feed the company so that it is nourished?
A company is not like a family, where there is a parent or two, who take care of the children. This may have been the way companies in the past were structured, with a few leaders and many followers.
Yet, a healthy company is like a family when the members mutually care for one another. The nourishment is mutually offered and shared. This is how a company becomes a leader-rich one, where each person finds the freedom to take personal initiative to create impact that makes a difference that matters.
Twilio CEO and co-founder Jeff Lawson discovered this when the company’s well-crafted values statement could not be remembered by his staff. Jeff changed his approach and it changed his company.
Belief, trust, and alignment are not just concepts to be discussed. They are how people find their place in complex social settings, like a business.
A leadership-starved company is not primarily because of any inadequacy in the leadership capabilities of a company’s top management. Instead it about the leadership capacity of an organization as a whole.
That capacity is measured in the potential impact that can be created. If the people of the organization do not believe that their contributions really matter, then their willingness to take the initiative to make a difference will be low.
The key, therefore, is to build a culture of belief, trust, and alignment that provides a foundation for everyone to be motivated to give their best.
Taking these steps and become a leader-rich company does more than just elevate the potential benefit of people. It begins the journey that reveals what the future will look like, placing the company and its people at the forefront of leadership in their industry and community.

What you can see in yourself but others can’t see in you. What you can’t see in yourself but others can see in you. What others and you both can see in yourself. What neither you or others can see about yourself.
Personalities that have outgrown a person eventually create a fuss and hinder a person’s success. If personalities are creating havoc in a person’s life, they are like bored teenagers who are tired of hanging out with their parents. It is time to cut the apron strings and let them strike out on their own. Use this card to maneuver through life’s challenges with a strong understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your personality type and that of others to inspire mutually beneficial relationships.

Mumbai, India (BBN)-Indian rupee slid for the ninth day as it depreciated 18 paise more to trade at over 2—1/2 month low of 67.67 against the dollar on Tuesday, hit by sustained foreign fund outflows amid a lower opening in the domestic stock market.
Besides, persistent demand for the American currency from importers and banks and dollar’s strength against other currencies overseas on renewed possibility of the US Fed raising borrowing costs as early as June weighed, forex dealers said, reports the PTI.
The rupee had ended 5 paise lower at 67.49 on Monday continuous demand for the greenback from banks and importers amid a fall in domestic equities.

UPDATE: Sadly, LaundryTree has closed its doors. For updated information on where to buy plastic-free soap nuts and all of our plastic-free laundry methods, please visit this post: How to Make Liquid Soap Nuts Laundry Soap Plus Other Plastic-Free Laundry Ideas. But don’t leave just yet! This is still a great story about how to get companies to change their packaging.
Put on your fuzzy slippers. Grab a mug of cocoa. Sit back, and let me tell you a little story about why it’s worth it for us to ask for what we want. There’s free stuff at the end, so hang in with me.
Have you ever done your laundry with soap nuts or been curious to find out how they work? Soap nuts grow on a tree called Sapindus mukorossi (Chinese Soapberry) and contain saponin, a natural surfactant which foams just like soap. I’ve wanted to try soap nuts since I first spotted them in a natural grocery store a couple of years ago but have always been deterred by the plastic in the packaging. Although they are imported, the idea of using a laundry soap that contains only one, minimally-processed natural ingredient (the soap nuts are harvested, de-seeded, and sun-dried) appealed to me.
So last month, when the bloggers at Tiny Choices announced a LaundryTree soap nuts giveaway, I was pretty excited. Excited, that is, until I clicked on the site and saw the soap nuts packaging. Looked like plastic bags to me.
Not one to give up so easily, I left a comment asking what the packaging was made from. I wanted to be sure. Jenn at Tiny Choices forwarded my comment to Lisa at LaundryTree, who responded to me right away and asked for helping de-plasticking her packaging.
The natural kraft paper bags contain 40% recycled content and are lined with a minimal amount of PLA (to keep the soap nuts fresh) which makes the bags fully compostable or recyclable.
I am so impressed with a business owner that listens to her customers and responds so quickly. Isn’t this the kind of business we’d all like to support?
Of course, the packaging would be irrelevant if the soap nuts themselves didn’t work. So before writing this post, I of course tried them out. And actually, I could just send you over to the Tiny Choices review of soap nuts because their review is very similar to what I’m about to write here. They even linked to the same Wikipedia page. But to spare you the extra clicks, I’ll go ahead and write my own glowing review.
Soap nuts only release their saponin in warm or hot water. I wash in cold to save energy. But never fear, there is an easy solution. Mix up a batch of SoapNuts Soak by bringing a pot of water to a boil, removing it from the heat, tossing in 6-8 soap nuts, and letting them sit covered over night. In the morning, strain into a couple of glass jars. The used soap nuts can go in the compost. Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup per laundry load.
By the way, I’ve noticed that another major distributor of soap nuts is now selling a liquid version in plastic bottles. Look how easy it is to make without the plastic. Easy as boiling water. Of course, if you’re like me and forget about pots on the stove, this procedure might not be as easy as it is for most. Still, I can deal. Because one batch of Soapnut Soak will do at least 8 loads of laundry.
Now, I’ll be honest. Soap nuts smell pretty darned funky. In fact, when I poured some out on the carpet this morning to take a picture, Soots and Arya went just a little nutty sniffing them. So, as you can imagine, I was skeptical about how my laundry would smell. LaundryTree promises that our clothes will not end up smelling like the soap nuts.
So, after adding the Soapnut Soak to my cold water load of light colors, and watching in amazement at the amount of foamy bubbles produced, I felt compelled to sniff every item as it came out of the washing machine. And you know what? They just smelled clean. Fresh. That’s the only way I can describe the scent. It was nothing like the smell of the soap nuts.
Some people prefer to add scent to their laundry, and to that end, LaundryTree sells a variety of essential oils. For me, the oils were completely unnecessary. I like my clean to smell like clean.

@Rebecca that is some really interesting information. I’m going to look further into this, is I am a big fan and user, and advocate and promoter, of soap nuts. I had no idea about the consequences you mentioned.
I have been looking for this berry for so long! I'm glad to have found it on your website and your great review of laundrytree.com.
My mother used to wash her hair with these berries when she was much younger living in Vietnam. Ever since I've been looking for them and coming up with weird names. Earlier tonight, gave up and decided to write the simplest thing that came to my mind and it happened to bring me to your website.
I got my winnin’s in the mail a few days ago. Thanks for hosting the contest!
Thanks for being who you are and I’m sorry we do not take better care of you. I’m trying my best to be responsible and teach my daughter how to take better care of you. I hope more people realize the importance of taking care of you.
What a great blog you have! I found you in my search for soap nuts info. You’ve convinced me that it’s something I need to try so if the promo is still open please throw my hat in the ring.
And my question to Mother Earth – Please can you tell me if the little things I am doing add up? I worry that it’s just a drop in the ocean since corporations are still allowed to pollute with little or no consequence.
Anita, I’m sorry you got the plastic bag! Did you use the FAKEPLASTICFISH discount code?
I was so excited to try these, especially with the no plastic packaging, but I got my soapnuts in plastic. Maybe it was because I ordered a kit with fragrance and they were pre-packed. I dunno. I was a bit bummed, but if they work for me I will order more contingent on the packaging!
This is the constant struggle, trying to go against what, for some reason, is still the mainstream! It shouldn’t take so much effort to reduced my own plastic use. We try!
Thank for the review for this product and for helping them change their packaging!
Does it annoy you when everyone says that earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that occur near each other in time but on opposite sides of an ocean or around the edges of adjacent tectonic plates aren’t related? I’m a geologist by training, and it annoys me when people think they’re not, when it should be so obvious that they are.
Thank you and I vote you as the TRUE Miss Universe!
I just started reading your site and am loving it! Thank you so much for all the research you do and sharing it.
Is it too late to enter the soap nut drawing? If so, I will visit the other site and order some. Or just do that anyway.
I love your brand of activism. I love how you raise the right questions and work with companies to get to more sustainable solutions. First Brita, now SoapNuts…what’s next?
Of course, if every company responded like SoapNuts did, what a different world this would be….
Great, great story – thanks for sharing.
And I’ve been wondering what the heck all the buzz was about soapnuts…now I have to try them!
I’d say… Planet Earth I’m sorry for the way I’ve treated you the majority of my life. I’ve woken up and seen what I’ve been doing to you, and I’m working on that extra hard now. I devote my time and effort into improving my carbon footprint. I’ve become a vegetarian, started recycling, composting, and purchasing all organics, organic and sustainable crop clothing. I’ve seen the error of my ways, and am ready to change, and hope to inspire others along the way.
I would apologize to Mother Earth for the footprint that I have inevitably created.
How many people do we need to make the change away from plastic before you start feeling better?
Just started reading your blog & love it.
Can soapnuts be used for shampoo?
soapnuts are here sold in bags made with fabrics (no platis bags). You can then reuse the bag for another purpose!Sorry for my poor english ….
Can you feel the fish swimming in the ocean, and does it make you itchy to have so many things crawling on you, and when it lightnings do you get excited like me, and do you miss the moon?
Wow this is absolutely a terrific Idea. And they will work in HE front loaders! This is terrific, thanks for the tip! Please include me in the contest.
Man is supposed to be caretaker of you.
I have used soap nuts in the past- they worked adequate. But then I got into the recycled bottle thing. I may have to give them another try.
I have been trying to help keep you cleaner. Everyone in my family has noticed, and everyone at work. Trying these soap nuts would be another way to help. Thank you.
my email was rejected, I’ll try again. Still didn’t work, said it failed permanently!
Sorry about the mess, we’re trying to get it cleaned up!
So Mother Earth – what else do you have up your sleeve? You make food that nourishes our bodies, medicines that cure our ills and now nuts that clean our clothes??? You are truly amazing!
I would ask Mother Earth for forgiveness for anything I’ve done wrong and for the times I’ve been lazy and selfish.
I’ve been wanting to try these soapnuts!
I really enjoy living on you. Please don’t wipe us out; we’re trying to mend our errors. I hope my personal efforts are a help.
I am sorry for the part I have had in hurting you. I am doing my best to live more lightly upon your surface even though sometimes it seems impossible. This past year has been an incredible journey and I am so happy to have become closer and more in tune to you. Thank you for all your gifts to us – I promise to use them wisely.
Some people are trying, and some are not. I am doing my best to educate people to treat the earth better, and I am doing my best to try to make up for their failures.
I just wish people would realize how important it is.
I would like to know if you can heal. So many of us see your pain, feel it with you, and are trying to ease it as best we can.
Is it making enough of a difference?
And Berry.. you CAN use soapnuts with cloth diapers!
Wow, never heard of soapnuts before! I recently mixed up a bucket of laundry soap with Fels Naptha, borax and washing soda, but my sensitive son broke out in a rash from using it. :-( Wonder if soapnuts would have the same effect?
Hmmm… Planet Earth am I doing enough to keep you healthy? Some do more, many do less, but where is the sustainable medium for you and me?
I would thank Planet Earth for all that she has given me…because really, where would I be without her? I would also ask if I’m doing the right thing: I like to believe it all matters, but sometimes I could use a little support and encouragement.
Thanks, everyone, for sharing our excitement — about soapnuts AND our new packaging! To quickly address the “diaper” questions: soaputs are a GREAT choice for cloth diapers! More details available on our site) — but for more information, we’d like to point you to this hilarious review.
I’m so happy that you are taking care of us while we are here living on you. I’m sorry that we treat you so badly. My family is trying very hard to change our behavious so that we can show you LOVE!
Thanks Beth for the post! I’ve been dying to try these. I too would like to know if they can be used on cloth diapers.
Way too cool!! Aren’t you kind of in love with LaundryTree now? I sure am.
Never heard of these before but would love to try them!
I’d ask the Earth if what I was doing was making a difference. Sometimes I get discouraged, thinking I should/could be doing more.
Soapnuts! You have got to be kidding me! I’ve never heard of those. Little things from trees that you put in laundry? That’s seriously amazing. Why have I never heard of them before? I would desperately love to try some.
To Planet Earth I would say, thank you for the soapnuts. It seems like no matter how old I get, you never run out of these amazing little surprises!
That is so cool! I have a hand crank washing doohickey, and I line dry, so this would be the icing on the proverbial cake! I’d ask the earth what ONE thing she wishes we could all do? What’s ONE thing that if every single person on earth did, it would make a difference?
I’ll order some for sure if I don’t win. I love it so much!
nice! new paper packaging. Good job Beth! We’ve had them in Toronto a few years now, but I’ve yet to buy any since I it was expensive for a little pouch. Everyone here is more expensive in Canada. I read often, you’re my echolic idol.

The lack of a kitchen in an Indian Lake homeowner's garage paved the way to an unprecedented ruling regarding land use rights in the borough.
The Somerset County Court of Common Pleas ruled July 5 that David Rohrich's 1,085 square foot car garage was not considered a residence because it "lacks the signature component of every true residence: a kitchen."
Rohrich was cited by the borough's zoning hearing board for violating an ordinance that restricts each lot to one residence or dwelling. The hearing board argued that Rohrich's property violated the terms of its building permit — which prohibited "living quarters" — because the second floor of his garage contained plumbing, a shower and rooms that could be used to sleep in.
Judge D. Gregory Geary wrote in an 18-page ruling that the garage cannot be considered a second dwelling without a kitchen.
"When one views the second story improvements objectively, all that is there is a place to sleep and shower, albeit rather comfortably," he wrote. "Those accommodations are well-suited for a transient or temporary stay to be sure, but they simply do not amount to what one would commonly consider as a residence."
Rohrich said the borough was on a "witch hunt." He argued that his garage was the first ever to be subject to inspection. The issue has been ongoing since 2006.
"Our plans were always laid out with what we were going to do with the garage," he said when reached at home Wednesday night. "It was never going to be a guesthouse, but they (borough council) made the assumption."
Borough Mayor Mike Miscoe said the ruling opens the door for other residents looking to convert their garage into a guesthouse.
The borough's zoning ordinance restricts duel residences on properties because of regulations on sewage.
Residences obtain sewage permits based on the number of bedrooms in the home. The rationale is that bedrooms equate to the number of occupants utilizing the restroom.
"What if everyone does this?" Miscoe asked. "It overburdens the sewage system."
Council President Patricia Dewar said the precedent is unfair to borough residents.
"It's unfair to those who spent the time and money (to comply)," she said.
The borough voted 4-2 against appealing the ruling. Councilmen Lynn Shimer and Terry St. Clair voted to pursue the appeal.
Councilman Robert Marhefka said he voted against appealing to save borough tax dollars. Borough Solicitor Dan Rullo estimated the cost to appeal to be between $5,000 and $10,000.
"We talk about cutting costs and trying to scour the budget for savings," Marhefka said, "and then we throw it away on legal costs."
Rohrich said he spent more than $10,000 on legal costs in his defense. He said he offered to settle the dispute financially with the borough outside of court, but an agreement could not be reached.
"The real shame in all of this is that borough residents are paying for this," he said.
Borough Council plans to revisit its zoning ordinance pertaining to the matter in the coming months.
