Notations For the Week-End: Thoughts From Our Founder On Beau Biden's Funeral

As I write this, I am gearing up for a day of Community Outreach Work , I am watching the Beau Biden memorial.     No matter what may think of the politics (agree or disagree with Joe Biden or Barack Obama), it is never easy to be able to bury one child--and in Joe Biden's case, two of them.   

The US Army Chief of Staff awarded him the Legion of Merit and as I write this, The President of the United States is delivering a beautiful euology for him.  May the almighty bless Beau Biden's soul and grant the Biden Family the solace to remember and to celebrate a life of service. 
 

Notations From the Grid: Happy Birthday Cool Earth!!

We here @ #Outsiders are proud supporters of  +Cool Earth .   Our Founder first got to know their work when he decided to help by sponsoring an Acre.   Our team asked him to try and track down his Certificate--he has not been able to find it yet!!! 

On behalf of all of us at #Outsiders, we wanted to extend our congratulations to +Cool Earth as it celebrates 8 years of service especially as they have seen to it that 4864 Children have been born into the villages they have been instrumental in saving.

Happy Birthday +Cool Earth ...here is to the next Eight Years!!!

When Cool Earth was born eight years ago today, Dalton was a brand new baby in a village with a very uncertain future. Thanks to you, his village has an alternative to the loggers. And what started in the Amazon is now a global movement. So we’re throwing a birthday party for Dalton… and the 4,864 other children born into safe villages since Cool Earth started saving rainforest. CELEBRATE WITH US

Notations From the Grid : On the UK Budget Cuts

George Osborne has begun his drastic cuts across the British Government in order to be able to balance the Budget.    As that assessment continues,  it was quite starking how the Guardian's Steve Bell depicted the draconian measures in his usual interesting and direct way which we released to the Daily Outsider Twitter Account yesterday:
