Karl Stefanovic Cassandra Thorburn opinion: Women aren't the losers.
The deceiving story we're told about celebrity breakups.
After months of speculation and half-truths from ‘close’ sources, 42-year-old TODAY Show host Karl Stefanovic and his new partner, 33-year-old shoe designer Jasmine Yarbrough, have made their first public appearances as a couple. And a lot of people have a lot to say about it.
Like anyone with an iPhone and a half decent WiFi connection, I feel I have a fairly solid grasp on the couple’s past week. On Monday, they put on an “amorous” front row display at Mercedes Benz Australian Fashion Week – their official debut as a couple and a subsequent feeding frenzy for paparazzi.
On Wednesday night they appeared “happy and relaxed” on a romantic solo date in Mosman. Come Thursday, Jasmine took herself to the hairdressers and “smitten” Karl dutifully followed – the most concrete confirmation to date that things must be serious.
To round out the week, the pair enjoyed a “lavish” champagne-filled lunch in Barangaroo. And how did they get to said lunch, you ask? They don’t catch Ubers like the rest of us, they travel exclusively via “romantic stroll”.
On the whole, it was a glamorous, carefree week. From what I can tell, marriage break-ups seem like a piece of cake!
On the flipside, we’ve seen Karl’s ex-wife of 21-years, Cassandra Thorburn, 44, perpetually snapped bare-faced in exercise gear either getting their children to school, at the supermarket or directing removalist trucks as she packs up the family home. In stark contrast to Karl’s glittering bounce-back, Cass is framed as the downtrodden ex-wife, the mother-of-three children anchored to the home, keeping up with the daily grind while her ex pivots effortlessly into post-married life. There are no pictures of carefree Cass or fabulous Cass. At best, we’ve seen her share a dart with a friend on the beach looking ”stressed out” – and it wasn’t flattering.
As Meshel Laurie put it on Friday – all we’ve seen is Cass “doing the life”.
And therein lies the problem with the way the media frames high-profile break-ups. After a separation, the man’s currency is upgraded to eligible bachelor status and the woman gets to play ‘the one who had him for a while’. In some cases, this woman is seen ‘shocking onlookers with her slender frame’ or ‘flaunting her new curves’. Which is code for getting fat after binge eating her feelings. She spends most days “stepping out” in various states of distress. ‘Close sources’ say she’s ‘devastated’ by the split and ‘didn’t see it coming’.
In reality, separations are never this black and white. But every time a media outlet chooses to run the split-second frame of “stressed” Cass standing alongside the removalist truck against pictures of carefree Karl at A-list events, it’s contributing to the narrative that when one person is thriving, the other is automatically ‘losing’ the post-break-up competition. You know, the one we all secretly play in our heads? And too often, through the tabloid lens, it’s the woman filling the role of the sinking ship.
While Laurie says Karl is inappropriately “flaunting” his new relationship – my point is not about either party’s conduct. In fact, it isn’t about Karl and Cass specifically. I’m simply a voracious consumer of media who is fed up with this tired win-lose narrative. The juxtaposition of the renewed man with a new lease on life and the broken woman picking up the pieces. It’s too easy and it lacks imagination – and in most cases, truth.
Unfortunately this has been going on for years. After Brad Pitt split from Jennifer Anniston, Brad became one half of Hollywood’s most powerful couple and the media would have had you believe ‘Poor Jen’ spent two years hysterically throwing chocolates at the television, a la Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. At the same time, George Clooney had been single on and off for decades – but was he considered desperate and unlucky in love? Of course not. He was People's Most Eligible Bachelor 27 years in a row.
The Mamamia OutLoud team discuss Australia's obsession with Karl's new relationship.
Let’s not kid ourselves – Karl’s new relationship generates a lot of clicks and rightly or wrongly the media can’t ignore that. But they can change the win-lose narrative.
The win-lose narrative is particularly sucky because it sends a message to women that we too will attain ‘loser’ status if things go belly-up in our relationships. This is simply fake news. Women can be at their most powerful after a break-up (just ask Zoe Foster-Blake, she’s been banging on about this for yonks – she even developed an app about it). Statistics show 170 per cent of the time women get a fabulous new haircut post break-up. We invest more time in ourselves and our wellbeing, we socialise more and we thrive in our careers. We take up new hobbies and explore the world.
Where is this in the win-lose narrative? Am I missing something? Is it hidden beneath the folds in our post-break-up curves?
Break-ups are awful. While we shouldn’t kid ourselves that the people involved are going through one of the shittiest times in their lives, let’s not revert to this predictable storyline that when one person is flourishing the other is, by default, in a rut. A snapshot can be deceiving and does neither party justice - and it’s not helping anyone.

As I experienced my first few days as superintendent I am very grateful for the support and well wishes I have received. Our focus as a district will always be the children and families we serve, but I also put great stock in our work family. People are our greatest asset and we are blessed to have an amazing team throughout the district. I look forward in the coming weeks and months to spending time in our schools and getting to talk with not only students, teachers and administrators, but also support personnel and school staff.
There are several other events occurring in the coming weeks which highlight the accomplishments of our students. The St. Johns County Spelling Bee is Wednesday, January 18 at the First Coast Technical College (FCTC) CHARACTER COUNTS! Conference Center; the High School Showcase at the Renaissance at World Golf Village is January 19 from 3:30-7 p.m. and the school district’s annual Science Fair is Wednesday, February 1 at the FCTC CHARACTER COUNTS! Conference Center from 9 a.m.-noon.
Did you know that every teacher in the St. Johns County School District (SJCSD) takes the time each year to reflect upon the effectiveness of their instruction and create a Deliberate Practice Growth Plan in which they select targeted areas of teaching to hone in order to better meet the needs of their students? Teachers create specific goals and monitor their progress multiple times throughout the year in order to determine if they are meeting the goals or they need to adjust them. This process provides for opportunities for teachers to collaborate and learn from one another. In addition, teachers can work as a team to disaggregate student achievement data in order to focus lessons and strategies that will have the greatest impact on student learning.
The Human Resources Department would like to send a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated teachers of St. Johns County for the time and effort they put into growing professionally and updating their craft to stay abreast of current, research-based practices to create a truly student-centered learning environment.
Leadership development/learning sessions continue to inform, provide opportunities for interaction and develop the capacity of all participants. Ongoing session topics include facilitative behaviors in the workplace, communication skills, understanding of the SJCSD strategic plan, mission and vision, a focus on character and ethics in the workplace, the culture of SJCSD and leadership skills which support the principles of Servant Leadership. Leadership academy participants discussed the book GRIT and the importance of professional perseverance and passion in the school and district setting.
Leadership session participants discuss the skills necessary to manage change and engage in courageous dialog around their work. These conversations are inspirational as we collaborate to learn from each other.
The SJCSD kicked off the New Year with a day dedicated to planning and professional learning. On January 4, while students enjoyed the last day of Winter Break, teachers across the district spent the work day entering second quarter grades, reviewing data and planning lessons for the third quarter. For support staff such as clerks, secretaries, paraprofessionals, etc., a district-wide day of professional learning was held with over 400 non-instructional staff members attending sessions across the district. Skill-building sessions included Website Design, Excel Spreadsheets 101, Records Management Procedures and Outlook Tips and Tricks as well as school safety and interpersonal sessions such as CPR/First Aid, Managing Difficult Conversations and Professional Crisis Management. In addition, some support staff participated in sessions designed to increase knowledge of existing district initiatives including AVID Elementary: What’s our Focus? and CHARACTER COUNTS! in the Workplace. A meaningful day of learning and planning helped all SJCSD personnel prepare for the return of students on January 5 and a great start to the third quarter. The next teacher planning/non-Instructional in-service Day will be held on Monday, March 20.
Mark your calendars and plan on attending. If you know of any teachers or non-instructional personnel who will be moving into our area in the near future, we encourage you to pass along this information. Registration information will be available on our school district’s website at www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/recruitment/ as we get closer to each Job Fair date.

Site promotion tools are an important element in making sure you give online users the greatest opportunity to visit your website. It is likely you have infused your site with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies, and you have included site link information in any forum posts and blogs. You might have gone so far as to develop Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. You are relatively comfortable with the conversion rate based on site visitation. You may even believe you’ve done all you can do, but there may be a strategy you haven’t considered. Some innovative site promotional experts are discovering the effective use of multiple websites that are effectively driving traffic to their primary site.
This strategy is NOT a more common ‘mirror site’ that simply mimics the original site. When using this strategy website owners find sub niches they can develop a unique website presence around. The site should be well developed with quality content and can stand alone in relation to the content it provides, but it is also a highly specialized mechanism for driving potential customers to your main site. The one thing that does not work with this strategy is to simply develop these secondary websites and then leave them alone in the belief that they will effectively do the job as a site promotion tool. Both visitors and search engines will loose interest if you fail to keep updating information.
Search engines are designed to have an appreciation for new content. If you never change content you can expect your site rankings to slip. The idea behind this strategy is to maximize the overall keyword and key phrase strategies you have in place. This is important because the ownership of multiple sites can allow you to maximize the impact of the various key words or phrases you want to develop with an eye toward overall sight rankings. For instance if you specialize in imported shoes your main site would contain an online catalogue and targeted information about imported shoes. You might have a secondary site dedicated to various types of imported shoe leather. Another site could be dedicated to the benefits of imported shoes. Still another might deal specifically with the elegance and style associated with imported shoes. You get the idea. This approach allows you to explore each area in depth with an eye toward moving each interested niche group to your primary site for purchase.
If your business is multifaceted, the use of multiple sites that are very specific in their goal and presentation could provide an impressive site promotion tool that may signal improved online sales results.

I repeatedly find myself wanting to reference an email in the PostgreSQL mailinglist archives either in a different email or in an IM or IRC conversation. The usual two methods for this have been to either look up the messageid from view-source in Thunderbird, or to go find the message by fulltext search either on our archives or one of the other big sites. I got tired of that, and decided it was good time to make my first try ever at writing a Thunderbird extension. It wasn't particularly hard, though finding the level of newbie documentation I required proved to be a bit of a challenge.

If you've ever attended a class at The Yoga Room, you've seen the giant supply of yoga props we have available for people to use in class. We have blocks, bricks, blankets, straps, wedges, bolsters, eye pillows, chairs, and even sandbags. Often times people who are new to yoga or new to our studio hesitate to use the props, so I wanted to dedicate this post to props and tell you why we use them and what they're for. Basically, we use props to help make yoga poses more accessible and more beneficial for each individual person. It's important to balance effort and ease in your yoga practice, and sometimes the use of props enables the ease part of the equation. Without the right props, some poses can be inaccessible, uncomfortable, or even painful.
Blocks & Bricks Our 4" tall foam blocks are used for a variety of purposes. Mainly, they help fill a gap. If you're standing in a forward fold and your hands don't quite reach the floor, you can rest your hands on a block.
Blocks can also be used to support the knees if when you sit on the floor your needs don't easily relax down.
For lunges, blocks can be used to help you maintain your balance. Just rest your hands on the blocks for instant relief.
Bricks are a 2" tall version of blocks that can be used when you need a shorter support.
Blankets Blankets are my #1 most important prop. They are indispensable for achieving a comfortable, well-aligned sitting position. It's important to elevate the hips enough that the knees relax down below the level of the hips, and blankets are perfect a perfect way to fine-tune your sitting height.
Blankets can also be used rolled up or folded to create a support to lay on for chest-opening poses.
And blankets can be used to fill small gaps or add a little padding to make poses more comfortable and relaxing.
Straps Straps can be used as an extension of the arms... In a sitting forward fold (or any position where you're trying to reach your feet or foot), the strap can be looped around the bottoms of the feet to help support you in the posture.
Straps can also be used to bind and support the legs in relaxation poses.
Wedges Wedges are a relatively new addition to our collection. We use them mainly to support the wrists. If the all fours crawling position is uncomfortable for your wrists, you can use a wedge to decrease the angle of the wrists and make them more comfortable.
For advanced practitioners, wedges are a handy tool for supporting the wrists and getting into backbend (wheel pose).
Oh, I love bolsters. Bolsters are very firm pillows. We have 3 sizes in our collection. All 3 sizes can be used to sit on, much like I described for Blankets above.
Bolsters can also be used to lay back on, either alone or perhaps with a block supporting the end that supports your head, for phenomenal chest openers.
Bolsters are excellent for supporting the legs in final relaxation pose - the use of the bolster in this way releases tension from the low back.
Bolsters also have a variety of specialized uses in Restorative yoga, where the practitioner lays in supported poses for several minutes at a time for a deeply restful and healing experience.
Eye Pillows Eye pillows are pretty straightforward. They are filled with flax and lightly scented with lavender and they are mainly used to cover they eyes during final relaxation to shut out light and encourage relaxation. We lay a tissue over the eyes, then rest the eye pillow on top for hygienic purposes.
Eye pillows also make a handy light weight to rest in the hands during relaxation.
Chairs Oh, I also love chairs! We have a dedicated Chair Yoga class, but I often incorporate chairs into my classes because they have so many uses!
Chairs can be used to make lots of sitting poses more accessible and beneficial in loosening tight hips. Using gentle yoga poses and a chair, you can loosen the fronts of the hips, backs of the hips, and sides of the hips!
Chairs can be used as a support in balancing poses and they can also be used to modify the ever-popular downward-facing dog pose.
Chairs can also be utilized for inversions (positioning your body upside down). Often times I use chairs as a baby step for people who are just learning headstand.
I would say that chairs are the #1 prop for making yoga accessible for people who think they can't do yoga - people who are very inflexible and people with balance issues.
Sandbags Sandbags are really lovely. Our sandbags weigh 10 pounds each. Predictably, they are good for weighing things down. They are a useful tool in reclining hand-to-foot pose because they help the passive hip stay anchored down on the floor.
They're excellent for promoting grounding and relaxation in child's pose.
But by far, my favorite use of sandbags is resting across the hips during final relaxation. There's something about the weight on the hips that induces a really deep relaxation. It's almost as if the weight of the sandbag roots your worries down into the earth so that youcan fully rest. It's really lovely. You should try it.
So that's my summary on props. Did I miss anything? What your favorite prop and how do you use it? You know I'm always open to new ideas, so please take a minute to share your thoughts on your favorite props in the Comments section below.

It’s fair to say that 80-year-old John Heij and his wife Elizabeth are early adopters. It was 2004 when they first installed a small solar and battery system to run lights and computers in their home in the Aldinga Arts EcoVillage, on the coast south of Adelaide in South Australia. Then, in 2013, they designed and built a new house (in the same village), and as part of that, installed a larger hybrid (grid-connected) system to run their entire all-electric home and electric vehicle (EV). In addition, they’re effectively off-grid for water, with two 22.5 kilolitre in-ground rainwater storage tanks that have supplied all their water needs for the last three years. Their power system comprises 9.6 kilowatts of Canadian Solar panels, two 5 kilowatt Kaco/ Selectronic inverters, a Selectronic SP-Pro inverter-charger and 32 kilowatt-hours of Sonnenschein sealed lead-acid gel batteries, configured in an AC coupled system. The size of the system means they import “less than half a kilowatt-hour per day” of electricity from the grid — a tiny proportion of the average import of 19 kWh/day in their area for two-person homes (as noted on their most recent ‘bill’—or rather, credit—from AGL). Of course, their actual energy usage is higher, with most of their 7 to 18 kWh daily usage (based on June to August 2016 usage figures, higher when charging the EV) coming from the solar panels or the batteries. The system cost between $30,000 and $35,000, but John notes that they would have done it “no matter the cost”. It’s a philosophical issue for them: “If the powers that be aren’t going to remove coal and gas, we have to do something about it ourselves,” he says.
One of the interesting features of the system is the inclusion of a Sunnymate diverter (now called the SunMate) which optimally directs the solar energy. It starts by first charging the batteries, then diverts to the solar hot water system’s electric water tank element, then to the heater in the house. Elizabeth notes: “The air conditioner has to be managed manually as the Sunnymate doesn’t seem to handle motor-driven equipment. This apparently can be overcome by using relays but we haven’t gone that far yet. It handles the heater well as it is a resistive load.” Since installing the system, they’ve never had to heat water from the grid: “even on the dullest days, it always manages to heat water.” John adds that they never get a full day of rain in their area, so there’s always some generation. The Sunnymate can also control charging of their electric car. They only charge the car during the day and most of that charge is from solar. “We’re a bit different than some people as we’re retired and can organise our energy use for during the day,” notes John.
The house is super-insulated, with double glazing and windows oriented for winter heat gain. They have internal thermal mass in a stone wall, which absorbs the sun’s warmth during the day, along with heat from a 4 kW Derby ceramic heater, and then re-emits that heat at night. Usually the ceramic heater only runs when excess energy is diverted to it by the SunnyMate, and they find the house stays cosy overnight. In summer, they do the opposite. They cool using their ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning from 11 am to 3 pm, generally enough for the house to stay cool overnight, when combined with using fans and opening windows to access the “gully winds” from the hills or sea breezes. “To run a sustainable home you need to work the house,” says John—to open it up when needed, or shut it down, and heat/cool at the best times of the day for that. When it comes to cooking, they “hardly ever use the oven” as they find it uses too much energy. Mostly they use their microwave and induction cooktop—Elizabeth used to love cooking with gas, but now prefers induction. “It only took about five minutes to adapt,” she says, adding that it’s even quicker to respond than gas.
They do little monitoring of the system other than to check every couple of days that the batteries are charged and the inverters are on, just when “walking past them in the garage.” They have an electrician friend who does occasional more thorough checks on the system for them. They did have a fire at one stage in the DC switch: a small self-extinguishing fire, caused by a manufacturing fault. The DC switch was quickly replaced and has been taken off the market. John suggests that microinverter systems will go further to eliminate that risk. As at their last electricity ‘bill’, they’re $275 in credit—they get their credits paid to them yearly, usually in November.
Early adopter is a badge John and Elizabeth wear with pride, both to show what’s possible and to enjoy retirement without ongoing bills.
Elizabeth is a retired scientist, having worked in both agricultural plant science and sustainability across disciplines. John is a retired nurse and nurse manager. Both are now involved as volunteers in the Aldinga Arts EcoVillage in South Australia.

How can we cross the border between apparently opposing positions, not to reconcile them in the fantasised about myth of the consensual community, but to enrich the ways we apprehend adversity and our methods of conflictual interaction which, don’t forget, are the basis of all democracy. Anna Rispoli invents a mechanism which enables us to make these questions, often repressed by our contemporary societies, something which can be experienced by everyone.

In winter it is important we still get our digestive stimulation from kitty grass, so Äiti grows it specially for us. This means we can yak it up all year round. Aila, being the girlcat she is, always gets first dibs.
The rest of us have to wait until she has finished imbibing.
Unless of course she sprawls across the table and none of us dares approach.
Anyone would think this was nip, not grass!
That is good, healthy looking grass you have. I yack up too much if I eat anything green and leafy.
Ladies first. What's the problem?
Aila is definitely the guardian of the nip there!
Lovely fresh green grass, no wonder you are guarding it.
It looks like Aila wants to keep that grass for herself. I am lucky that I have nice lush grass growing in the garden all year round.
How wonderful it is to have glorious green gaks year-round!
What a pretty face you have, glad you enjoyed your grass.

Robert Heerdt, Chief Investment Officer at BenefitWorks, Inc.
I am saddened by the notable absence of signatures by leadership of T4G, the Gospel Coalition, and ABWE.
I don’t see any names of Baptist pastors.
Boz, SNAP, Wartburg Watch, Survivors, and others have been shouting this from the rooftops FOR EVER! Praise God, finally, you have put this here. Thank you! Now, will you call out by name CJ and his good old boy network who have not only remained silent, but have issued (and modified) statements of support for him?
To underestimate the impact this has had, this silence, is a tragedy, a keeping open of the wounds of the victims not only in the lawsuit, but the countless victims of shunning, repression, domestic and emotional abuse who have suffered at the hands of SGM churches by their leaders, and a witness as terrible as any Catholic cover-up.
The Southern Baptist Convention at least made a nod to these pastors when they acknowledged they needed to examine their relationships with pastors who have been involved in scandal.
I also note that no one identifying themselves as part of SIM has signed. SIM USA has held a “truth and reconciliation commission” but SIM Canada is in denial that any thing bad happened. I know it happened since I was involved as a reciepient of abuse.
Thank you for posting this. This is an issue of great importance to all believers.
Victims of abuse must know they can count on their leaders to ensure safety and security. Abusers must know they can not hide in congregations. Laws must be followed and abusers must be held legally accountable for their crimes.
Prayerfully lessons will be learned and remembered by those in leadership, at whatever level, by the current events.
Thanks for posting this. It is indeed a sad day in evangelicalism when we supress the truth at the expense of the victims of such horrible abuse.

During Mrs. Leah Seabrook-Rocha’s second period class, Sydney Johnson works on her latest assignment utilizing the AMSCO textbook and her unit overview sheet. Photo by Daya Khunkhun.
Frantically rushing to turn in a chapter outline before 11:59 p.m. is an experience many AP World students can relate to. Homework can easily pile up and in order to handle the class, students must learn essential time management skills.
In class, students can expect a lecture on the focused event of that day as well as one-to-two daily assignments. Chapter summaries are due every Friday and take anywhere from two-to-four hours.
“At first, the class was really overwhelming with all the outlines and quizzes every week, but I got the hang of it. It took me a while to learn how to study for stimulus based test questions and writing prompts, which really helps in future AP classes,” Kareena Patels said.
The class is available for sophomores who passed with a grade of “B” or higher in advanced geography or grade of “A” in world cultural geography and teacher approval.
“AP World is one of the most difficult courses you can take as a sophomore. It requires quite a bit of studying and the exams are much different than anything most students have encountered thus far. You cannot learn and dump in this class – everything is fair game on the exams in class and at the end of the year,” Seabrook said.
The course divides world history into different time periods: foundations, classical, post-classical, early-modern, modern, and contemporary. Students will develop an understanding of the distinctive events and social behavior in the evolution of the world and man.
Like other AP classes, AP World History provides a GPA boost and potential college credit if a 3 or higher is earned on the exam.
“The stress level is pretty much what is expected of an AP class. It’s definitely challenging but more manageable than I thought it would be. Personally, I really enjoy the class because of Mrs. Seabrook. She really cares about her students and making sure they have a good time while in her class in addition to giving us the right resources to learn and retain the information,” Sydney Johnson said.
According to Seabrook, grades in this class is evenly distributed into thirds, with one-third getting A’s, one-third getting B’s, and the last third with C’s.
“The unit tests got harder and harder as the year went, which made me question whether I’ll pass the AP exam. Seabrook really tried to challenge us in her class, and her unit tests were definitely a lot harder than the college board AP exam,” Patel said.
Summer reading as well as a book review was assigned to provide students with a basic understanding of world history. Students are expected to arrive on the first day of class with the homework completed and ready to discuss. There is no assigned homework over any other breaks unless students want to work ahead.
Seabrook recommends spending an hour each day studying.

TEiLA is a new accreditation scheme designed by BIC for libraries and their suppliers. The scheme encourages and rewards libraries for their adoption of best practice and industry standards and their investment in beneficial technologies. The scheme is directly aligned to BIC’s programme of work in libraries over recent years. This includes the development of ‘full-cycle’ EDI, RFID, Bibliographic Information and Book Classification. The accreditation scheme is simple to apply for, and applications are completely free of charge and open to all (NB: applicants don’t have to be members of BIC to apply). Whether your organisation is a library, a library stock supplier or a library systems supplier, e.g. for LMS or RFID, you just download the appropriate questionnaire, fill it in and email it back to BIC.
The TEiLA accreditation scheme is based on a previous scheme called e4libraries. All organisations which obtained an e4libraries award previously can apply for TEiLA in 2018/19. Please see the transition schedule, here, for more information about when to apply.
The TEiLA questionnaire is a word document which will take approximately an hour to fill in and may need input from other experts in your organisation. Prior to filling out the application form, you may wish to forward copies to colleagues in other departments of your organisation for their additional input, if necessary. Once you’ve received this input, an individual can complete the questionnaire on behalf of the whole organisation. NB: BIC will only accept one TEiLA application form per organisation.
The TEiLA application form contains full instructions for applicant organisations but for library applicants who may be unfamiliar with some of the terminology used, there is a glossary.
Download the TEiLA Glossary, here.
When you have filled in your application form, please ensure that you save it (using Save As and giving it the file name: YourOrganisation_TEiLA_today’sdate.doc) and email it to BIC at info@bic.org.uk. You will then receive an acknowledgement which will inform you of the application review timescale. Your application will be reviewed by a panel of industry experts. If your application is successful, BIC will inform you via email and will send you a certificate and logo which you can use / display in your organisation, on your organisation's website and social media platforms, etc. This award will last for one year so organisations will need to renew their accreditation annually. BIC will also publicise your organisation's success on the BIC website, on social media, etc. In the event that your application is unsuccessful, BIC will inform you in complete confidence and will provide useful feedback and help on any areas of weakness. BIC’s objective in this case is to enable you to improve so you can apply again and be successful next time.
BIC reserves the right to check the answers provided in TEiLA application forms to ensure accuracy.
All information provided in the TEiLA application form should already be in the public domain as members of the Accreditation Panel may be from other competitor organisations.
Once you are ready to fill in the TEiLA application form, please download the appropriate word document, below.
Gaining an award on the TEiLA Accreidtation Scheme enables libraries to showcase their achievements in developing and implementing beneficial technologies to improve efficiency in the library and the service it offers to library patrons. The accreditation logo and certificate can be displayed and made the subject of promotional articles or publicity. The accreditation can be a headline statement under which the library can list its achievements, the technologies, their benefits, how the service has improved, etc. Normally, it is difficult for a library to shout about their achievements in this area but accreditation gives an ideal opportunity. The logo can be displayed on all library service publicity, printed and online. The certificate can be displayed prominently in the library, framed and mounted so that patrons and visitors can see how this library is investing in its service.
The TEiLA Accreditation Scheme shows a library's stock suppliers what the library is capable of in systems terms. Stock suppliers view libraries with this award as easier (and possibly cheaper) to trade with. Suppliers want to supply libraries which use standards as this reduces their costs. Obtaining TEiLA accreditation says to stock suppliers that this library is technically capable, and that metadata can be received efficiently, orders placed efficiently, and stock accepted in a shelf-ready condition. Stock suppliers themselves can achieve the accreditation and use it to promote their service to libraries, e.g. being able to cater for all EDI requirements such as full-cycle EDI and being capable of supplying books as shelf-ready stock with standard RFID tags and servicing.
All libraries are funded in some way and they report to fund holders and administrative bodies. These authorities want to see that the library provides a good service at reasonable cost and by implementing BIC's programme of work across metadata, EDI, RFID and systems integration etc., many libraries both public and academic have derived significant benefits, cost reductions and service improvements. Public Libraries are part of local government and are constantly under threat of cuts. TEiLA will enable a library service to show that theirs is an efficient library service, that technology has been implemented and that this has reduced costs. This may provide some protection against cuts as the library service budget may already have shown recent reductions due to payback from technology investment.
Senior Management and politicians also like to receive awards and a TEiLA accreditation may be useful to impress and demonstrate that the library service is efficient. Some politicians whose service has not been accredited may want to know why their library service has not yet achieved this award when others have. It has even been suggested that government should make achieving TEiLA accreditation mandatory for UK public libraries as part of establishing an improved future national library service.
Many libraries are currently below the standard for a TEiLA accreditation. They have some metadata, some EDI, but perhaps no RFID and poor systems integration. The aim is to encourage these libraries even in these difficult times, to identify best practice and to deploy standard solutions which deliver improved service at reduced cost. Libraries which apply for TEiLA but which fail are offered useful feedback and advice. Many libraries no longer have a systems librarian or similar role and they rely on their suppliers and others for help in this area. The right advice can help libraries move in the right direction so that for example when they next tender for a computer system, they ask the right questions and insist on a best practice, standards-based approach.
The accreditation scheme applies to systems vendors and service providers and is a way of enhancing their credibility with their customers. BIC recommends that libraries include TEiLA accreditation as a requirement in ITTs when tendering for a new system. In effect, accreditation is saying that the organisation has invested in the necessary technology, industry standards and best practice and this in turn means more capable, open, less proprietary systems. Libraries should understand that this makes vendors easier to deal with.
Undertaking the accreditation process which looks at standards and technology can be very useful for libraries, library stock suppliers and systems vendors alike. More than one person or department may be needed to cover different sections of the scheme and analysing technical capabilities can help to inform and even surprise staff and management about their own organisation and its systems and services. Achieving accreditation can also help management and staff to measure their achievements against their peers.
The TEiLA Accreditation Scheme helps to promote, encourage and reward activity in the library supply chain. It is free, easy to apply for and open to all. Applicants who pass can display their certificate and logo wherever they wish, and applicants who fail, do so in complete confidence and can receive advice from BIC on how to improve.
Read the full Benefits Statement here.
Please refer to the TEiLA Transition Schedule (here) which details the deadlines for applications to the TEiLA Accreditation Scheme in 2018/19. While we transition from the old e4libraries Accreditation Scheme to the new TEiLA Accreditation Scheme, organisations will be invited to apply in batches according to their organisation type. (Thereafter, applications to renew your organisation's award will be accepted on an annual basis).

Since last update we have welcomed the leaders of the new SIOE Norway Merete Hodne + Kjersti Margrethe Adelheid Gilje – and Antonella Bertelli leader of SIOE Italy, and Michael Stürzenberger the new leader of SIOE Germany.
SIOE demonstration against the islamisation in Oslo, Norway together with Norwegian Defence League 15th December. Meeting place will be announced later. Let’s try to be as many as possible from all over Europe to this great event.
It is more and more obvious that the media is not on our side, but siding with islam. It is terrible but true. Not only are they siding with islam they are also deceiving and lying. It is very strange they protect a socalled religion that it in the end will be their executioners. They are cutting over the branch they are sitting on because Islam does not allow ANY free speech.
There is a war raging in the information battle space. All the bullets, bombs and bloodshed come as a resultat of what happends in that war.
We are working at a very extreme disadvantage because of the media, that’s why we now form SIOE’s Media group to take up the battle with the deceptive and lying media.
To fight against the islamisation we need money. An organisation without money is like a body without blood. That’s why we now have formed a group that is going to raise funds for SIOE’s work. Are you familiar with this work or do you find this work interesting please join our fundraising group.
We have also formed a think tank where everybody in the group is welcome to come with good ideas how to make SIOE grow and reverse the islamisation of our countries.
To make our actions and demonstrations more organised and get more people to attend we have formed SIOE’s Demo and Action group where we will discuss actions and demo’s, coordinating travels etc.

"Beyond Kübler-Ross: New perspectives on Death, Dying and Grief"
This course is provided through the Hospice Foundation of America and explores the most current theoretical perspectives on death, dying, and grief, emphasizing areas where understandings of dying, death, and grief have been challenged and developed since the 1969 publication of Kübler-Ross' epochal work, On Death and Dying.
This course is provided through the Hospice Foundation of America. The program uses a case study approach to examine the ethical issues and dilemmas that emerge at the end-of-life. Ethical decisions at the end of life converge around issues such as finances, laws, values, culture, and technology. This program also addresses the principles of ethical decision making, and the effects of these decisions on staff and families.

A man has been booked into Ada County Jail, charged in connection with robbing two west Boise pharmacies.
Shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday, Boise Police officers responded to a robbery at the Rite-Aid store near Fairview Avenue and Five Mile Road.
“The suspect made threatening statements and got away with prescription painkillers from the pharmacy,” according to a Boise Police news release. About ten minutes later, officers found the suspect near Five Mile and Franklin Roads, about a mile away from where the robbery took place.
Officers shut down traffic for a short time between the railroad tracks and Franklin Road while they took the suspect -- later identified as Graydon Wood, 41, of Boise -- into custody.Detectives say they were able to find evidence Wood is also responsible for another robbery also involving the theft of prescription medication from a pharmacy –- also on Fairview -- on Oct. 30th of last year.
Wood was booked into the Ada County Jail on two felony robbery charges.

Having flashbacks of the Blighted East here.
"Give me control of the planetary oxygen supply, and I'll grow bugs in any size you want", redux.
The giant dragonflies of ancient Earth with wingspans of up to 28 inches are generally attributed to higher oxygen atmospheric levels in the atmosphere in the past. New experiments in raising modern insects in various oxygen-enriched atmospheres have confirmed that dragonflies grow bigger with more oxygen, or hyperoxia. [...] The team raised cockroaches, dragonflies, grasshoppers, meal worms, beetles and other insects in atmospheres containing different amounts of oxygen to see if there were any effects. One result was that dragonflies grew faster into bigger adults in hyperoxia.
"The dragonflies were the most challenging of the insects to raise," said VandenBrooks because, among other things, there is no such thing as dragonfly chow. As juveniles they need to hunt live prey and in fact undergraduate students had to resort to hand feeding the dragonflies daily. "Dragonflies are notoriously difficult to rear," said VandenBrooks. "We are one of the only groups to successfully rear them to adulthood under laboratory conditions."
Sadly, it sounds like they didn't actually grow giant dragonflies, they just got dragonflies that grew to adult-size faster. But this is an important first step!

Move over, barley. Make room for some exciting new grains.
There’s an increased excitement among craft brewers around brewing beyond the barley. They’re using spelt to boost body and millet and buckwheat to create gluten-free options, and they’re experimenting with brand new grains just hitting the market. The flavors coming out of this exploratory movement are surprising palates and providing alternatives for people who couldn’t drink beer otherwise.
Brewers love adding spelt to beer to boost body and head retention. It’s similar to wheat, though it has a slightly more toasty flavor. Spelt’s high protein content is useful for brewing beers that benefit from turbid mashes.
Spelt is a critical part of the grain bill in the Golden Sour Ale at The Rare Barrel in Berkeley, California. This beer is then used as a base for fruit, herbs, spices, and beyond. Examples are Saphir Effect that’s aged in oak barrels and dry-hopped with Saphir hops, or Apropos of Nothing, which is aged in oak barrels with elderberries and lavender. The sours at The Rare Barrel are regularly rotating, so expect new renditions of the golden sour base.
Millet is a small-seed grass with subtle sweet and nutty flavors. This ancient grain is regularly used as a barley alternative in gluten-free beer.
Twila Henley, the founder of Wellington, Colorado’s Grouse Malting Company, began craft malting on what she calls a “crusade to try to develop a gluten-free beer that actually tasted good.” She learned in that process that good gluten-free beers should start with good gluten-free ingredients. Grouse malts millet, buckwheat, oats, maize, and quinoa specifically for craft brewers. The maltster’s craft brewery clients include Ghostfish in Seattle, Element Brewing Company in Millers Falls, Massachusetts, Uinta Brewing in Salt Lake City, and High Hops Brewery in Windsor, Colorado, near the malting facility.
Watchstander’s grain bill also includes malted rice and brown rice. Many brewers prefer to work with grains that are already gluten-free instead of brewing with enzymes that reduce gluten.
Another barley alternative is buckwheat. A cousin to rhubarb, buckwheat seeds are gluten-free, high in Vitamin B, and rich in antioxidants. Soba, “buckwheat” in Japanese, noodles are formed out of buckwheat flour.
There are a surprising number of buckwheat beers available on the market. One of the first was a beer that helped launch the Signature Series of Rogue Ales 2003. The Morimoto Soba Ale was created for Iron Chef star Chef Masaharu Morimoto with roasted buckwheat.
Kernza is a new “superwheat” perennial derived from an ancient form of wheatgrass by The Land Institute in partnership with Patagonia Provisions. Kernza’s long roots and perennial growth allow it to thrive without pesticides. It uses less water than conventional wheat, helps to reduce erosion, and removes more carbon from the atmosphere than annual grains. It imparts nutty, earthy, spicy flavors in beer... well, at least in one beer.
Last year Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) in Portland, Oregon, collaborated with Patagonia Provisions on Long Root Ale, a slightly spicy Northwest pale ale brewed with kernza and organic hops. It “represents the first commercial use of kernza and a strong step toward changing the way we grow and produce food,” says a press release about this beer.
HUB received the 2016 Brewbound Marketing Initiative of the Year award for their work with Patagonia Provisions on Long Root Ale.
Specialty micro-malthouses create high-quality malts that improve the taste of the beers they’re brewed in. We have a list of six malthouses, and the brewers who use them.

Haydarpaşa station (Turkish: Haydarpaşa Garı) is a railway station in Istanbul. Until 2012 the station was a major intercity, regional and commuter rail hub as well as the busiest railway station in Turkey. Haydarpaşa, along with Sirkeci station (on the other side of the Bosphorus), are Istanbul's two intercity and commuter railway terminals. As of 19 June 2013 all train service to the station has been indefinitely suspended due to the rehabilitation of the existing line for the new Marmaray commuter rail line. The station building still houses the headquarters for District 1 of the State Railways.
The station building, built in 1909 by the Anatolian Railway (CFOA) as the western terminus of the Baghdad and Hedjaz railways, has become a symbol of Istanbul and Turkey and is famous throughout the Middle East.
Haydarpaşa is situated on an embankment over the Bosphorus just south of the Port of Haydarpaşa and is slightly north from central Kadıköy. Until the suspension of rail service, ferry service was available to Eminönü, Karaköy and Kadıköy from the station's ferry dock.
İstanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire as well as the largest city in the empire. İstanbul was a major economic and cultural hub. However, İstanbul had no rail links, so in 1871 Sultan Abdülaziz ordered a rail line to be built from Haydarpaşa to İzmit. Haydarpaşa station opened in 1872, when the railway reached Gebze. In 1888 the Anatolian Railway (CFOA) took over the line and the station. Since the station was built next to the Bosphorus, freight trains would unload at Haydarpaşa and the freight would be transferred to ships. Haydarpaşa station saw its first regular passenger service in 1890: a daily train from Haydarpaşa to İzmit. In 1892 the CFOA built a line to Ankara and shortly after a daily train ran between the two cities.
Haydarpaşa was chosen to be the northern terminus of the Baghdad Railway and the Hedjaz Railway in 1904, and, with rail traffic increasing, a new and larger building was required. The Anatolian Railway hired two German architects, Otto Ritter and Helmut Conu, to build the new building. They chose a neo-classical structure and construction started in 1906. Its foundation is based on 1100 wooden piles, each 21 metres long, driven into the mushy shore by a steam hammer. German and Italian stonemasons crafted the facade embellishments of the terminal. The German engineers and craftsmen who worked at the construction site of the building established a small German neighbourhood in the Yeldeğirmeni quarter of Kadıköy. The new pseudo-castle structure was completed on 19 August 1909. The new terminal was inaugurated on 4 November 1909 for the anniversary of Mehmed V. The new terminal was built on land reclaimed from the sea. World War I broke out in 1914 and the Ottoman Empire sided with the Central Powers against the Allied Powers. The Ottomans lost and İstanbul was taken over by the British Empire. Haydarpaşa was under strong military control by the British during the occupation.
Intercity trains at Haydarpasa station in 2012.
In 1979 a tanker burning on the Bosphorus damaged the terminal building, but it was restored a few months later. On 28 November 2010 a fire caused by carelessness during the building's restoration destroyed the roof and the 4th floor of the terminal building. Three people were sentenced to ten months in prison for "recklessly causing the fire".
Haydarpaşa Terminal and Seraglio Point at the back.
On 2 February 2012 Haydarpaşa Railway Terminal temporarily closed to long-distance trains for at least 30 months to allow for the construction of the Istanbul–Ankara high-speed railway, and the Marmaray rail transport project which will connect Istanbul's Asian and European sides via an undersea commuter train line. There will be no train services between Istanbul and the Asian destinations of Turkey (with the sole exception of the suburban line to Pendik, a suburb 45 km east of Istanbul). In April 2012 commuter service to Gebze was suspended past Pendik. Finally, as announced by the Turkish State Railways, the only remaining train service from Haydarpaşa, the suburban line to Pendik, closed on 19 June 2013 for at least 24 months for line improvement works.
In 2018, remains of a Byzantine coastal town have been found during the restoration works of the Haydarapaşa railway station. Furthermore, excavations unearthed a Byzantine-era fountain, a big fortification wall and a ceramic brick kiln.
Also, dozens of graves have been unearthed during excavations. In October 2018, archaeologists found an intact skeleton, which has a scented necklace on it. In addition, coins and jewellery were found in the field. Some coins were so clean that their period can easily be seen. The coins date back to between 610-641 and 527-565 A.D.
In addition, a podium was unearthed from among the railway platforms. The podium, which is made of sheared rectangular blocks, is believed to date back to the Hellenistic era.
Due to construction of the Istanbul-Ankara high-speed railway and Marmaray, train services to Haydarpaşa have been temporarily suspended.
The nearby Haydarpaşa Campus of the Marmara University, originally built as the Imperial Medical School and designed by Alexander Vallaury and Raimondo D'Aronco.
There are tombs and monuments in the Haydarpaşa Cemetery near the military hospital, dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives during the Crimean War (1854–1856) and during the two World Wars.
The north-west wing of the 19th-century Selimiye Barracks, which was transformed into a military hospital during the Crimean War, was the place where the nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale cared for wounded and infected British soldiers. Her room is today a museum, and her belongings are exhibited to honour her memory. The museum also contains other items which date from the Crimean War.
The buildings of the Haydarpaşa Numune Hospital, GATA Military Hospital, Dr. Siyami Ersek Hospital and the present-day Haydarpaşa Campus of the Marmara University (the former Haydarpaşa High School, which was originally built as the Mekteb-i Tıbbiye-i Şahane (Imperial Medical School) and designed by architects Alexander Vallaury and Raimondo D'Aronco) are located close to the terminal.
The Port of Haydarpaşa at the north is one of the main container terminals of Turkey.

DOTHAN Ala.(WTVY)- One hundred and eighty-two days ago the Wiregrass United Way launched its annual campaign to raise two million eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
Today they told us not only did they meet the goal but they exceeded it.
The deadline for the goal was yesterday at 5 pm.
More than eight thousand people made a financial pledge to this campaign which put them one thousand dollars over the goal.
The Wiregrass Foundation made a challenge pledge with the United Way to give them an extra four hundred thousand dollars to help forty-two agencies with special projects.
Wiregrass United Way CEO Walter Hill said, “It was really hard this year but we kept explaining the needs in the community talking about our 42 agencies and the tremendous work they do here in Southeast Alabama and people kept responding over and over again. So it went down to the final day to reach our goal but it was well worth every second that every volunteer and staff put into it."
The Wiregrass United Way will deliver the checks over the next six weeks and decide how much money each agency will receive.

How to connect your iPhone with rest of the world!
Over the course of using your Apple device, you’ve probably downloaded dozens of social media applications. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Skype, Sound Cloud and so on. To use each account, you would have had to download and run their apps separately from App Store.
Now imagine if you’ve bought a new phone, or for some reason, you had to reset your existing phone. In each case, you lose your time as well as all the apps which you’d previously downloaded, and now you have to go through the same pains of downloading these apps all over again, which is truly an awful and time consuming venture.
See More: Using social media apps without installing their apps on your devices!
Many argue that simply using a browser would solve this issue. But then again, you’d have to take pains entering the URLs as well as your IDs and passwords each time you want to log-in any of these accounts. The features that a browser would provide you with are outdated. Not to mention the security concerns both of these above methods have, as they are completely accessible to anyone who manages to get through your phone’s passcode (if there is any).
Social Media Vault is your ultimate solution!
1.Open Social Media Vault app.
2.Access any social media account you wish to use.
There are a total of 31 social media platforms available for you to use.
3.Enter your ID and password for that particular account once, as the app saves your credentials while keeping it under another layer of security.
Social Media Vault is light!
The app is also lighter as compared to most other data security applications. The app only takes storage space of about 5.6MB. This also helps in saving your phone’s battery life.
It also has a Panic Switch option. This allows you to switch to another app quickly by just shaking, flicking or placing the palm of your hand on the screen of your phone. It allows you to hide the contents of your app from any person passing by, etc.
Hack attempt monitoring allows you to monitor and identify whoever tried to access your personal photos in your absence. The app clicks the image of any unauthorized user from the front camera of your iPhone.

Unlike a Tarot deck, the reason they are easier to read is that the one using them is supposed to view each and every card and define them on their own.

No one truly knows when playing cards began for use for divination, however as early as the 15th century, additional image cards (trumps) were being added to decks of playing cards. These cards depicted images of gods, heroes, or motifs to express philosophical, social, astronomical, or other ideals. The earliest known point out of the apply of tarot-style cartomancy appears in literature in the 16th century. By the 18th century, simple divination methods using cards seemed in a number of manuscripts.

Poison Dart Frogs Might Make Good Medicine : Shots - Health News The toxin comes from tiny frogs in Colombia — the ones that pack a punch on the tip of poison darts. In the past, research on toxins like this has led to some pretty amazing drug discoveries.
The skin of the golden poison dart frog, Phyllobates terribilis, secretes a deadly poison that might lead to a better understanding of how to treat malfunctions of the human nervous system.
The golden poison dart frog is about an inch long and banana yellow. By some estimates, the skin of one little frog contains enough toxin to kill 10 adult men.
"Oh yeah, it's one of the more lethal poisons on the planet," says Justin Du Bois, a synthetic chemist at Stanford University.
The substance is called batrachotoxin (buh-TRAK-uh-TOX-in), and tiny amounts of it can be deadly if it makes it into a victim's bloodstream. It's what some indigenous groups in Colombia's lowland rain forest would use to tip their blow darts.
And, as Du Bois and his colleagues write Thursday in the journal Science, they figured out how to make it in the lab in 24 steps. Why on Earth would anyone want to do that?
"Well, it turns out it's a fantastic research tool for figuring out how nerves conduct electricity," Du Bois says, "and we're very interested in that fundamental process."
Once inside a victim, the compound embeds itself in certain proteins that are responsible for conducting electrical impulses through the nerves and muscles, including the heart. By disrupting that process, it can cause paralysis and a heart attack. But studying the poison's mode of action could also lead to a deeper understanding of the role electrical impulses play in fundamental processes like heart function and the sensation of pain.
"There are very few molecules like this that we're aware of," Du Bois says, "and we would like to really understand how it works."
And maybe — just maybe — some version could be developed into a useful drug. Du Bois points out a few rare diseases that involve malfunction in the same proteins that this toxin acts on; one such disorder prevents a person from feeling any pain at all.
"You could literally run a knife through their hand and they wouldn't feel a thing," Du Bois says. Some of the same proteins are involved in a condition that's sometimes called "Man on Fire syndrome," because people who have it experience frequent pain and burning.
"Molecules like batrachotoxin are essentially a key into mechanisms of how our nervous system works," says Toto Olivera, a biochemist and neuroscientist with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute who is based at the University of Utah. The more specific the compound is, and the more potent, he says, then "sometimes, the greater the insight that you can gain."
There's a long list of nasty toxins that, with a few tweaks in the lab, have proved useful for human health, Olivera points out. Take curare, for example. The poison from tropical plants is now used as a muscle relaxant during some kinds of surgeries.
Olivera's lab found that the venom that certain sea snails — Conus magus — use to paralyze fish also acts on an important mechanism in the human body's communication of pain. That led to the development of a painkiller that is now used in patients who have become tolerant to morphine.
"Sometimes, you can add one atom to a compound and totally change how it acts," says Becca Tarvin, a doctoral student in evolutionary biology at the University of Texas, Austin. She studies the toxins of poison dart frogs and just got back from a trip to Colombia.
Tarvin says the various species of poison dart frogs contain at least 500 different toxins. She knows firsthand how some of these toxins feel once they're in your system; she and a field assistant once licked a few of the milder frogs, to see how they differed.
"One just tasted like sushi, like raw fish," she says. "The other one had kind of a bitter flavor that stayed in your mouth. But the last one I tasted, it tasted bitter at first. And then I could tell on my tongue the area that had touched the frog and the feeling kept spreading until my mouth was kind of numb."
Out of those 500 toxins, scientists know the biological activity of about 60.
"So, being able to synthesize any of these compounds is super important in figuring out how they work and how they could be developed as drugs," Tarvin says.
But another reason it's important to synthesize these compounds, the scientists say, is that they are getting harder and harder to find in nature. A lot of these frogs are endangered.
"Because of that," Tarvin says, "our chances of finding these toxins and these frogs before they're gone is low."

President Obama is a fan of Eli’s: One of their jumbo creations was served at the Commander-in-Chief’s Ball at his first inauguration. And the President proudly posed with a chocolate-covered Eli’s cheesecake created for President Abraham Lincoln’s Bicentennial Birthday Banquet in February of 2009. President Obama keynoted the dinner in Springfield, Ill., and today America’s #1 Lincoln fan will be re-sworn-in with his hand atop Honest Abe’s 1861 Bible.
Masterminded by Eli’s executive pastry chef Laurel Bolger, the three-tiered cake for the Staff Ball is being created at Eli’s Chicago headquarters, and will be covered with 100 pounds of buttercream frosting, decorated with dancing gold stars, a blue presidential eagle, and the inaugural seal. The layers will alternate between two of Eli’s most popular flavors, plain and chocolate chip, company president Marc Schulman, son of founder Eli Schulman, told Obama Foodorama.
Chef Bolger and the giant cake layers will travel in a refrigerated truck from Chicago to DC, leaving on Monday afternoon around 3:00 PM, just as the President and Mrs. Obama are marching in the inaugural parade from the Capitol to the White House.
After an overnight drive of more than 700 miles, the cheesecake will be assembled at the Convention Center on Tuesday morning, where the finishing touches will be put on, Schulman said. Along with “back up” cheesecakes of six to eight other flavors Eli’s will bring to the Staff Ball, the domed beauty will serve 6,000 people.
A spokesman for the Presidential Inaugural Committee declined to specify how many total guests have been invited to the Ball–or what else will be on the menu; organizers have released no details about the event. Superstar Lady Gaga will reportedly headline, however, an “inaugural source” tipped both Hollywood Reporter and AP.
Eli’s cheesecakes also starred at two previous inaugural celebrations, served at President Bill Clinton’s inaugural balls in 1993 and 1997, Schulman said.
“We took a break during the Bush years,” Schulman said.
Clinton and his wife, now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, visited Eli’s bakery in 1992, and were wowed. The Secretary has a silver palate, and goes down in history as the First Lady who brought contemporary American cuisine to the White House, after a focus on French cooking in the previous decades. Eli’s has also created masterpieces for loads of other celebrations, including current Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s inauguration (which followed his stint as President Obama’s first Chief of Staff); Chicago’s 150th and 175th Birthday cakes, and for the White Sox World Series Win.
Schulman has been in DC since last week, and will be very busy on Tuesday, making sure everything is ready for the President’s final inaugural party. Getting invited to serve food at any presidential inaugural is a rare honor, and Schulman is suitably thrilled.
The six-tiered cake for President Obama’s Commander-in Chief’s Ball on Monday night is being created by Duff Goldman’s Charm City Bakery in Baltimore, Maryland.
Today Eli’s Cheesecake is sending a Giant Eli’s Cheesecake for the Presidential Inauguration 2013! Weighing in at 500 pounds, this Big Eli’s Cake was made with 155 lb. of cream cheese, 45 lb. of sugar, 20 dozen eggs, 2 cups of pure vanilla, and 100 lb. buttercream frosting, along with substantial amount of other ingredients listed below. This will be the second cheesecake Eli’s has made for Barack Obama’s Inauguration; Eli’s also made Obama’s First Inaugural Cake. Eli’s Pastry Chef, Laurel Bogel, designed, bake, and hand-decorated the huge cheesecake. Eli’s is honored to be making such notable cake for a great event in U.S. History.
