    KIWANIS | 2013–14 ANNUAL REPORT 1 SERVING the CHILDREN of the WORLD KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL REPORT | 2013 – 2014 KIWANIS 2 2013–14 ANNUAL REPORT | KIWANIS KIWANIS | 2013–14 ANNUAL REPORT 3 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS his is the third straight year Kiwanis International has reported a loss from operations. This year the loss was US$3.059 million as compared to operating losses of US$633,000 in FY 2013 and US$613,000 in FY 2012. Fortunately, we continue to enjoy positive investment returns that have reduced the overall deficit from US$3.059 million to US$1.191 million. “Operating losses widened considerably as compared to last year. This is primarily due to the increased spending related to the 2014 Kiwanis International Convention in Chiba, Japan, and The Formula,” says Bob Broderick, chief financial officer of Kiwanis International. Bob Broderick “The primary reasons for the operating deficit were increased Chief Financial Officer spending for The Formula (US$1.293 million), poor operating Kiwanis International results from the convention (US$673,000) and the magazine (US$462,000). The Kiwanis International Board of Trustees is committed to The Formula and has committed to spend $4 million over five years to strengthen our clubs. We believe The Formula is the catalyst for change,” says Broderick. “While Kiwanis International’s performance produced an operating loss, the Kiwanis International Foundation and Kiwanis Youth Programs Inc. (which includes Key Club International) posted positive results,” says Jane Erickson, vice president of Kiwanis International. “And, on a consolidated basis, the Kiwanis family recognized an overall surplus of $8.345 million.” 4 2013–14 ANNUAL REPORT | KIWANIS KIWANIS | 2013–14 ANNUAL REPORT 5 KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION Our grants help fund important activities and Wicht.

    3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 1 of 129 INTRODUCTION After years of pondering over how awesome it would be to release a compilation of bands from all around the world, we have finally gone and done just that! We asked bands to submit a song and bio for this huge compilation and the response was fantastic. This free e-book is our way of saying thanks to the readers of Heavy Planet and a terrific way to promote some amazing bands spanning the Stoner Rock, Doom, Psychedelic and Sludge Metal genres. Many thanks goes out to all of the bands and labels for allowing us to use their music and most of all to you the readers for making Heavy Planet what it has become today. Cheers! Enjoy and Doom on! ~Reg 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 2 of 129 THE ALBUM TITLE I asked my talented group of writers to come up with a name for the compilation and a bunch of different titles were thrown around but one truly encapsulated what Heavy Planet is about. Misha suggested..."Bong Hits From the Astral Basement", we all agreed and here it is, sixty-one of the finest bands from all around the world. Following are the biographies of each band and the artist that contributed the killer artwork. 3DPageFlip eBook Maker Page 3 of 129 THE BANDS 1000MODS 1000mods is a psychedelic/stoner rock band from Chiliomodi, Greece. They were formed in the summer of 2006 and since then, they have played over 100 live shows, including openings for Brant Bjork, Colour Haze, Karma to Burn, My Sleeping Karma, Radio Moscow and many others.

    Guo, Jin, Wang, Qiu, Zhang, Zhu, Zhang, Wipf Supplementary Materials The supplementary file includes additional content related to the following: 1. Synthetic Experiments (Section 5.1 in main paper): We explain why the synthetic data loosely align with Definition 1, describe the network architectures of the CycleBase and CycleCVAE models, and include additional generation results. 2. WebNLG Experiments (Section 5.2 in main paper): We describe the experimental setup for WebNLG, including the task description, cycle-consistency model design, and all baseline and implementation details. We also include an ablation study varying dim[z]. 3. T5 Extension (Section 5.3 in main paper): We provide details of the CycleCVAE+T5 extension and include additional generated samples showing textual diversity. 4. Proof of Proposition 2. 5. Proof of Corollary 3. 7 Synthetic Dataset Experimental Details and Additional Results 7.1 Dataset Description and Relation to Definition 1 To motivate how the synthetic data used in Section 5.1 from the main paper at least partially align with Definition 1, we let c and e be zero vectors and A 2 Rd×10 be a d × 10 transformation matrix from images to digits, where d is the total number of pixels in each image x. In other words, each column i 2 f0; 1;:::; 9g of A is a linearized pixel sequence of the 2D image of digit i from top left to bottom right. Based on A, we construct an example inverse matrix D so that DA = I. Specifically, D can be a 10 × d matrix where each row i 2 f0; 1;:::; 9g is a linearized pixel sequence of a masked version of the image of the digit i, and this image can have, for example, only one non-zero pixel that is sufficient to distinguish the digit i from all other nine possibilities.

  • Brief History of Kiwanis
    Dear Club Member: Thank you for joining your club and becoming part of the Minnesota Dakotas District. May you fulfill your responsibilities as a member in helping to maintain the health and vitality of your club. The friendships you make with fellow Kiwanians will last a life time, whether at the club, district or international level. As you Serve the Children of the World, may you do it with honor working together towards the goal of service to others. The District leadership is here to help you and we hope this handbook will be a resourceful tool for you. Again, thank you for your service and being a part of Kiwanis. The Minnesota Dakotas District Education Brief History of Kiwanis Kiwanis International Two Detroit Michigan natives, Allen S. Browne and Joseph C. Prance, had an idea one day in August of 1914. It was a concept, rather, to develop an organization that provides fellowship like no other organization. They first constructed this group of only young professional businessmen. The group received their charter from the State of Michigan for the first Kiwanis Club on January 21, 1915. There were 200 members within six months. Within those first six months the founding club nearly failed. Two men left for Cleveland and started a club that attracted a membership of 135 in 10 weeks. Kiwanis Club International was adopted in 1924 with more than 1,200 clubs and almost 90,000 members. In 1920 the motto was “We Build” and in 2005 the delegates to the International Convention voted to adopt a new motto, “Serving the Children of the World”.
