Since 2010, the Feed-In Tariff scheme has rewarded homeowners, landlords, businesses and organisations for producing their own “green electricity”, with financial incentives available for those that produce additional energy to the grid using their own means.
Come 31st March 2019, the Feed-In Tariff scheme will close for new applicants, however, those who can secure an approved application before the cut off date can still enjoy 20 years of Feed-In Tariff payments.
Previously, all renewable generators of any size could get some form of ‘guaranteed’ access to Feed-In Tariff tariffs before their installation was completed. However, a few years ago, the mechanism for smaller generators (up to 50kW in capacity – think a large barn or big office roof covered in solar) called ‘preliminary accreditation’ was removed following a previous review of the scheme.
Now, only generators of above 50kW have the ability to pre-accredit. Of course, if your generator is up and running before that date, provided you submit a full and complete application you should be safe. There are some things to watch out for and exceptions to this rule, which we’ll cover later.
What is pre-accreditation in Feed-In Tariff?
Feed-In Tariff pre-accreditation is a process that lets partially completed or in-development renewable generators gain access to Feed-In Tariff rates before they’re ‘commissioned’. In short, it’s a process which is designed to deliver some security to generators which, for one reason or another, might have quite a complicated installation or have an installation which has got a longer lead time to get access to FiT rates before the technology is producing clean energy.
An example of this might be a school waiting for an out-of-term time break to allow scaffolding, installers and electrical work to be completed in the absence of inquisitive children.
How does it work?
To ensure that you’re ready to receive accreditation when your generator is up and running, you need to have created your own account on Ofgem’s ‘Renewables and CHP register (located here). You can set yourself up as an individual or a business – if you’re registering on the behalf of a business, you’ll need to upload a letter of authorisation on your company letterhead, just to doubly-confirm you’re registering a generator on the organisation’s behalf.
Once you’re through this stage, it’s a process of answering specific questions relating to your renewable installation. Provided the information provided is both clear and accurate, it should all go smoothly. However, appreciating that some of this is somewhat technical, your installer is likely to have provided a lot of this data before, so if you need a hand, ask!
Now that the Feed-In Tariff closing in March – how does this change things?
The guidance here is black-and-white and is a little complex, but it varies a bit depending on the technology being installed and the size of the installation.
As a rule, solar generators above 50kW will have 6 months to convert their pre-accreditation to a full accreditation following the 31st March deadline. Wind will have 12 months and hydro will have two years.
Community or school installations above 50kW will receive an additional 6 months on top of these timelines to apply. Smaller-scale community and school installations below the 50kW capacity cut-off have until 31st March 2020 to complete their application. However, the site MUST have been commissioned and all supporting documentation produced (namely their Microgeneration Certification Scheme certificate) on or before the 31st March 2019.
Some useful guidance has been published by government, which can be found here.
What do I need to watch out for?
It’s important to note that access to FIT rates isn’t guaranteed. The funding of the scheme while paid for through everyone’s energy bills – has artificial caps placed on it via something called the Levy Control Framework. This caps the total spend on the FIT scheme, with specific spending and total capacity caps set at particular tariff levels.
If your tariff looks like it’s fast approaching full subscription, I can’t advise on a particular tactic but a good start would be to discuss with your contractor or installer. I predict some of these tariffs may fill up very soon, if they haven’t already. So if you’re sat on an application that needs to be completed – I’d advise doing it ASAP
Ofgem publish these caps on a regular basis, which can be seen here.
What happens if my tariff is fully subscribed?
If a tariff cap is oversubscribed or has the capacity “waiting in-line”, BEIS have now stated that there will be no additional funds made available or reallocated – so if a tariff is currently fully subscribed, it’s not going to be possible to either accredit or pre-accredit a generator site for FIT.

Like many of the early NASCAR drivers, Wendell Scott started out hauling moonshine in a souped up car he maintained himself. Scott was a clever entrepanuer, opening a taxi service in his native Danville, Virginia to shuttle the local residents around town by day, then using the cab under the cover of darkness to bring them the white lightning they were thirsty for.
With his popularity among the moonshiners growing as word of his driving ability spread through the mid Atlantic region, Scott began entering races at local dirt tracks thoroughout Virginia and North Carolina in 1952. He tasted success only one month into his driving career, winning his first race on the red clay half mile in Lynchburg, Virginia at the age of thirty.
Determined to move up in the sport of stock car racing, Wendell Scott traveled the south during segregation, showing up at NASCAR events with his number thirty four ready to race. He was turned away from many tracks, told by speedway personnel that he would not be able to compete due to the color of his skin. Encountering signs at restrooms, water fountains and restaurants that read "White Only" was a common occurence for Scott, who never seemed to let it bother him. "I expected all of that," he said of his trials to become a NASCAR driver in segregated America.
Wendell Scott was issued a NASCAR license for the first time and allowed to compete at the old Richmond Speedway in Virginia, either in 1952 or 1953. NASCAR is not certain of the exact date but believes it to be 1953. Record books indicate that Scott went on to compete in four hundred ninty five Grand National and Winston Cup - known today as the Sprint Cup Series - events over thirteen seasons and collected $180,814 in purse winnings. He is credited with one NASCAR win, a controversial race held on December 1, 1963 in Jacksonville, Florida. Buck Baker was flagged the winner and celebrated in victory circle after Scott had passed Richard Petty, who was nursing a damaged car, for the lead with twenty five laps remaining. Scott was awarded the victory hours after the race was completed and left the track that day without the winners trophy. Many said NASCAR would not allow him to celebrate in victory lane because he would have had to kiss a white beauty queen.
Scott retired from NASCAR racing in 1973 and returned to driving the short tracks of Virginia and the Carolina's for a few more years, entering select events when circumstances would allow. Later in life he would become dissatisfied with his racing career, firmly believing he hadn't the opportunity to showcase his talent in competitive equipment. Scott worked diligently throughout his career, without success, to obtain factory support and major sponsorship for his racing efforts. Ned Jarrett and Richard Petty were among his strongest supporters.
"I was a black man. They wasn't going to help a black man. That was all there was to it," Scott once said in summing up the prejudice his career suffered.
A hard working and humble man, Scott struggled tremendously to raise seven children while running the family auto repair business and pursuing his racing dream. He was popular among NASCAR race fans, taking the time one sunny afternoon in 1973 at the North Carolina Motor Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina to accomodate this writers request for an autograph and conversation of the days events.
Greased Lightning, a movie detailing the history of Scott's career, was produced in 1977 and starred Richard Pryor as Wendell Scott. Scott worked with the producers and was promised royalties, but never received any.
Wendell Scott passed away on December 23, 1990 at the age of sixty nine.
A member of several state and regional halls of fame, Scott was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall Of Fame at Talledega in 1999 and the National Motorsports Press Association Hall Of Fame at Darlington in 2000.
It is no doubt Wendell Scott was a genuine racer who accomplished great things in the face of adversity. He was a man ahead of his time, possesing a burning desire to succeed in the sport he dearly loved. Let his path and message serve as an example to us all.

Swiss rider Thomas Frischknecht began the world-championship-era of mountain biking with an unfortunate streak: He finished second in the first three worlds. From 1990 to 1992, he narrowly lost to Ned Overend, John Tomac and Henrik Djernis, respectively.
At the 1996 World Championships in Cairns, Australia, it looked like history would be repeated. Frischi again finished second, this time to French rider Jerome Chiotti. Four years, later, however, Chiotti admitted to doping and his ’96 medal was awarded to the rightful winner, Thomas Frischknecht.
Recalls Martin Whitely: “Finally, the legend that is Thomas Frischknecht got the gold medal and rainbow stripes he richly deserved. It was a victory against drugs, and a belated acknowledgment of Frischi's talent and role in the sport in the ’90s.”

Senators Hold Key to Ensuring Authentic Arms Reductions
For Immediate Release: January 31, 2003
Press Contacts: Wade Boese, (202) 463-8270 x104; Christine Kucia (202) 463-8270 x103
(Washington, D.C.): With critical concerns and questions surrounding the U.S.-Russian Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty (SORT) still unresolved and unanswered, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee should remedy the treaty's considerable flaws and weaknesses when it reviews the treaty next week, experts from the Arms Control Association (ACA) said today.
"Agreements to reduce American and Russian nuclear arsenals are welcome, but they should be permanent reductions that are verifiable by both sides, adhere to a clear schedule, and serve as a platform for future talks about further reductions," said Daryl G. Kimball, the Association's executive director.
Signed in May 2002, the agreement requires each side to reduce its number of deployed strategic warheads from today's 5,000-6,000 to no more than 2,200 by the end of 2012, when the treaty will expire. Under the treaty each side is expected to reduce its deployed strategic forces by removing warheads from missiles, bombers, and submarines.
However, because the accord does not require any warheads or delivery vehicles to be destroyed, the United States will have the flexibility to deploy approximately 4,200 strategic warheads in as little as three years after the treaty expires. Either party may withdraw from the treaty with three months' notice.
In addition, the United States and Russia have not yet agreed upon a common definition of how to count "deployed" warheads. Moreover, the treaty provides no new verification measures for either party to be confident that the other is carrying out its pledged reductions. As a result, the U.S. intelligence community has determined that the United States will not be able to verify Russian compliance with high confidence.
"The new treaty does not significantly alter the number of existing nuclear delivery systems and therefore only marginally affects the residual nuclear potential of the United States and Russia," observed Jack Mendelsohn, an ACA board member and former member of the U.S. Strategic Arms Limitations Talks and START negotiating teams. "It creates thousands of 'phantom warheads' undercutting its own verifiability, and it contains no reduction schedule, making it difficult to predict force levels over the next decade," he added.
"Since verification of the SORT reductions will depend on the framework established by the 1991 START I agreement, the United States and Russia must enhance and extend those mechanisms, which are slated to expire in 2009-three years before SORT is to be fully implemented in 2012," said Christine Kucia, Arms Control Association research analyst. "Congress should require that the President work toward an agreement with Russia on additional transparency measures so that both sides can be assured that the arsenals are properly safeguarded and are not a proliferation risk," Kucia added.
"Given that the SORT agreement will leave enormous numbers of deadly U.S. and Russian warheads and missiles intact, it is in the nation's interest for the Senate to condition ratification on the pursuit of additional reductions of strategic and tactical nuclear weapons," said Kimball.
The United States currently deploys approximately 6,000 strategic nuclear warheads on its strategic triad of land-based missiles, submarines, and bombers. Washington is also currently estimated to have approximately 1,000 tactical nuclear warheads and more than 5,000 total nuclear warheads in spare and reserve stockpiles. Russia currently deploys an estimated 5,500 strategic nuclear warheads on its strategic triad of land-based missiles, submarines, and bombers. Russia also deploys an estimated 4,000 tactical nuclear weapons and is believed to stockpile another 11,000 strategic and tactical nuclear warheads.
"It is imperative that the Senate address these shortcomings, or both sides will be left with a treaty that is flawed and amounts to little more than a gentleman's agreement between Presidents Bush and Putin," Kimball said. "We encourage the Senate to approve meaningful conditions on the treaty that help ensure that the weapons are dismantled and destroyed in a mutually verifiable way and to keep the door open for further, verifiable U.S.-Russian nuclear arms reductions," he added.

Is your business ready to make its first hire? Finding and hiring the right employee is a critical step in the process. However, there are a few other steps you’ll need to take to ensure you meet the legal, regulatory and tax obligations of being a new employer.
To help simplify the process, here’s a checklist of the 10 things you’ll need to do once the right candidate has accepted your job offer:
1. Apply for an Employee Identification Number
Many businesses operate without an Employer Identification Number (or EIN), but if you hire employees, you’re going to need one. Think of it as the social security number equivalent for employers. An EIN is used to report the taxes you withhold on behalf of employees. You can apply for an EIN online from the IRS.
2. Set Up Withholding Taxes
Either on or before the date of employment, you’ll need to give your employee a copy of IRS Form W-4. Have your employee complete it and hand it back to you so that you can withhold the correct federal income tax from their pay. To help you figure out what you should be withholding, refer to the IRS’ Employer’s Tax Guide (PDF document also known as “Circular E”). If state income tax applies in your state, you’ll also need your employee to complete a state withholding form or certificate. Most states do have income tax, although some don’t, including Texas, Alaska and Nevada. The IRS has links to state taxation agencies.
3. Verify That Your Employee is Eligible to Work in the U.S.
To ensure your workforce is legal, you are required to verify their legal right to work in the United States within three days of the hire date. Do this by examining acceptable forms of ID and completing the Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9), and then verify the data on the form with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ E-Verify online tool. You don’t need to file the form; just keep it on file for three years after the hire date, and one year after a termination date.
4. Register With Your State’s New Hire Reporting Program
Within 20 days of the hire date, you must report all new hires to a state directory. You’ll find links to more information about how to report new hires on your state’s government website.
5. Obtain Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Any business with employees may be required to carry worker’s compensation insurance. Check with your state, because some require it if you have only one employee while others make it a requirement if you have four or more employees. The insurance is available through commercial carriers, on a self-insured basis, or through your state’s program and is considered a cost of doing business.
6. Register for Unemployment Insurance Tax
Again, something to check with your state; some require that you pay unemployment insurance tax and some don’t.
7. Check Whether You Need to Obtain Disability Insurance
Again, this is state-dependent. Some states require employers to provide partial wage replacement insurance to eligible employees for non-work related sickness or injury.
8. Display Workplace Posters
Check with the Department of Labor’s “Poster Advisor” online tool to see if labor laws require that you display certain posters that explain employee rights, etc.
9. Filing Taxes as an Employer
It’s a good idea to talk to your accountant or tax advisor about your new tax obligations. Typically, you’ll need to report income tax withholding, social security, and Medicare taxes each quarter on the IRS Form 941. If you paid wages of $1,500 or more in any quarter or had an employee on the payroll for any 20 weeks of the year, you’ll also need to file an Employer’s Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) return.

|A 5-piece band from the East San Gabriel Valley, Infected has been playing straight-up punk rock since 1999. Their sound has frequently been described as "old school" -- aggressive, powerful riffs and throaty, screaming vocals, with no pop bullshit. Comparisons to specific bands are few and far-between, but GG Allin, Black Flag, and the Germs come close to the mark. Their lyrics run the gamut from political, to comical, to just plain rude. Infected plays clubs and backyards all over Southern California and beyond. For booking, e-mail or call (626) 477-0130.

Life is full of difficult decisions, moments during which we stand at a fork in the road and determine which path to take. For instance, should we chase an impracticable passion or settle for a reliable, if boring, career? Or, should we dry our hands with paper towels or use the bathroom’s hand dryer?
A new study suggests that the latter option is actually what scientists would call absolutely friggin’ disgusting.
Per the Washington Post:
The study, the results of which were published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, found that plates exposed to 30 seconds of a bathroom hand dryer gained at least 18 to 60 colonies of bacteria, while plates exposed to bathroom air for two minutes had fewer than one.
Meaning, spores of bacteria — including, say, fecal matter — could be sprayed all over your hands, leaving them even dirtier than they were before.
Although hand dryers are seen as the environmentally conscious alternative to paper towels, the point that they could be spewing out bacteria has been raised in the past.
No word yet on the efficacy of my preferred method, washing my hands and then half-heartedly drying them on my pants.

The former president said he wanted to get to work on his presidential center right away to combat the perception Chicago is a dangerous place.
Obama made the announcement while presenting preliminary plans for his presidential library and center in Chicago’s Jackson Park neighborhood. Construction will take four years, but Obama said he wanted the facility to start offering programs immediately.
“We don’t want to wait for a building,” he said. “One of the things that we will be starting this year is Michelle and I personally are going to donate $2 million to our summer jobs programs here in the community, so that right away, young people can get to work and we can start providing opportunities to all of them.”

Rheinmetall has been awarded a contract from the Swedish armed forces to supply vehicles for transporting Patriot air defence system.
From 2021, Rheinmetall will supply Sweden with a total of 40 trucks from its HX series, including 16 tractor trucks and 24 transport vehicles. The order is in the double-digit million-euro range.
FMV, the Swedish procurement authority, has already ordered other HX vehicles for its logistics corps.
HX2s are among the world’s most widely used military trucks. Some 10,000 are currently in service with the UK, Australia, NZ and Denmark. Norway, Sweden, and most recently Germany have all placed substantial orders with Rheinmetall.
The newly awarded order is the first joint procurement project of Raytheon and Rheinmetall since the launch of their teaming agreement in March 2018.
Raytheon’s Patriot system forms the backbone of integrated air defence and anti-missile defence for seven NATO nations.
ADM understands that Raytheon’s proposal for Second Pass consideration for the Land 19 7B project this year will be based on the proven Raytheon/Kongsberg NASAMS (National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System) that is fielded by seven nations, including the US, with support from local radar house CEA Technologies under a solution known as Medusa.
The system provides ground-based air defence against fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and unmanned aerial systems using the Raytheon AIM-120 missile.
Both options under consideration include the potential integration onto ADF trucks and Hawkei vehicles.

Documentary Film “Curing Addiction” Ready for Recovery Month
News Source: WiredPRNews.com An unprecedented look at solutions for permanent recovery and fixing our treatment system
McAlester, OK (WiredPRNews.com) - The National Institutes of Health claims that addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease of the brain that is incurable but treatable with counseling and pharmaceuticals. This assertion over the past few decades has lead most Americans to believe it as being a true statement.
However, a growing number of former addicts and treatment professionals alike are speaking out in opposition to the disease theory, as there are mountains of data to prove that addiction is not just treatable, but in fact curable.
"Curing Addiction" is a documentary film containing interviews with some of these experts and people who have recovered from different parts of the country. Not only does it explore the disease theory in question, but the film also provides advice and solutions for effective therapies and fixing the treatment system in America to save more lives and tax dollars.
The documentary was written, directed and produced by Lucas Catton, who has worked in the rehabilitation and prevention field for over a decade and is also a former substance abuser. The completely independent production was self-financed over a period lasting several months and spanning 6 states. On- and off-camera interviews were conducted with people representing multiple types of treatment approaches.
"This has been a continual learning experience for me," says Catton. "I went into this with the intention to find workable solutions from different sources with the focus being on results. I believe we wound up at that point, and I know there are a lot more resources out there with the same goals. This is a solid start."
Catton indicates that the release of the film during September is significant because it is observed as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, which is now in its 22nd year. He wants the message to be that every day there are people are permanently putting substance abuse and the label of being an addict behind them forever in order to move on with life.
The film will be submitted to festivals and the hope is for a cable network to pick it up to be able to reach as wide an audience as possible. Catton is also using it to continue his advocacy work in the legislative realm and bringing the message via speaking presentations.

Perhaps one of the best parts of Mad Men is the surplus of hat tips and Easter Eggs it throws to its real-life industry source material. Sometimes it’s as big as this season’s Milton Glaser promos, and other times it’s as subtle as last week’s mention that the the Draper-meltdown-inducing Hershey account went to Ogilvy—which, in real life, it did. As the Gothamist detailed, Phil Dougherty wrote about the famous account in his New York Times column on Valentine’s Day, 1969 (the day the episode takes place).
David Ogilvy and other ad greats (such as Bill Bernbach) are constantly referenced in Mad Men. As the latest in Print’s Legends in Advertising series: Who was Ogilvy?
To start, as Ogilvy & Mather documents, he once sent the following memo to a partner:
Will Any Agency Hire This Man?
He is 38, and unemployed. He dropped out of college. He has been a cook, a salesman, a diplomatist and a farmer. He knows nothing about marketing and had never written any copy. He professes to be interested in advertising as a career (at the age of 38!) and is ready to go to work for $5,000 a year. I doubt if any American agency will hire him.
However, a London agency did hire him. Three years later he became the most famous copywriter in the world, and in due course built the tenth biggest agency in the world.
The moral: it sometimes pays an agency to be imaginative and unorthodox in hiring.
(Notice any more Draper parallels?)
Ogilvy (1911-1999) is often best summed up, simply, as “the father of advertising”—a title bestowed on more than a few, but more accurate in some cases than others. As Ogilvy & Mather’s bio recaps, he came to the US via his European roots in 1938 and worked for Gallup’s Audience Research Institute, which shaped his research-focused strategic thinking. A decade later, though he hadn’t yet penned an ad, he opened Ogilvy, Benson & Mather.
Ogilvy went on to produce an astounding array of work for some of the biggest clients around—Lever, Shell, Sears, Rolls-Royce, American Express—and shaped the agency into one of the world’s most prominent. For his efforts, he was inducted into the US Advertising Hall of Fame in 1977.
Like all ad greats, though, the work best tells the story.
Here’s a selection of Ogilvy’s ads (click for larger images), sprinkled with some of his quips throughout.
“I don’t know the rules of grammar. If you’re trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language.”
“The creative process requires more than reason. Most original thinking isn’t even verbal. It requires ‘a groping experimentation with ideas, governed by intuitive hunches and inspired by the unconscious.’ The majority of businessmen are incapable of original thinking because they are unable to escape from the tyranny of reason. Their imaginations are blocked.”
“Where people aren’t having any fun, they seldom produce good work.”
“Much of the messy advertising you see on television today is the product of committees. Committees can criticize advertisements, but they should never be allowed to create them.”
“Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won’t think you’re going gaga.”
“I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information. When I write an advertisement, I don’t want you to tell me that you find it ‘creative.’ I want you to find it so interesting that you buy the product.”
“The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is TEST.”
“On the average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.”
“Unless your campaign has a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night.”
“When someone is made the head of an office in the Ogilvy & Mather chain, I send him a Matrioshka doll from Gorky. If he has the curiosity to open it, and keep opening it until he comes to the inside of the smallest doll, he finds this message: If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.”
“When you have nothing to say, sing it.”
“Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark. Aim for the company of immortals.”
For more than seven decades, the National Magazine Award–winning Print has featured the best of the best in advertising and design. This year, we’re tipping our hat exclusively to celebrating the ad world with the Legends in Advertising Awards. Categories will be open to both established firms and startup students, and will include print ads, but also everything beyond—campaigns across an array of mediums and digital spaces, including TV and radio. Top winners will be featured in a special issue of Print.
The “legends” of the trade weren’t always considered legends—they were just creatives doing fantastic work in their own time. To find out more about the Legends in Advertising Awards, click here.

When You Waste Food, You're Wasting Tons Of Water, Too
Originally published on Fri June 7, 2013 12:29 pm
Tossing out food is clearly a waste of money — and maybe even immoral, according to Pope Francis, who on Wednesday likened food waste to "stealing from the table of those who are poor and hungry." And as we've reported, you also may be creating extra greenhouse gas emissions by sending food to a landfill.
Now comes yet another reason not to waste food: It also wastes a heck of a lot of water, a new report says.
According to the World Resources Institute, an environmental think tank, inside the 1.3 billion tons of food wasted every year worldwide is 45 trillion gallons of water. This represents a staggering 24 percent of all water used for agriculture.
And agriculture is already the world's biggest user of freshwater: The sector accounts for 70 percent of all use around the world, according to the World Water Assessment Program. Those freshwater resources are diminishing fast, just as demand for them rises from millions of hungry and thirsty people joining the global population.
However, when it comes to water, not all food products are created equal. As WRI notes in its new working paper on food waste, a pound of wheat flour on average contains 12 percent water and 1,639 calories, whereas a pound of apples, on average, contains 81 percent water and 766 calories. Fruits and vegetables are the largest source of loss and waste on a weight basis — in part, because they contain more water than other foods.
Meat, of course, requires more water in its production than any other food, because animals devour so much feed that in turn has to be grown with water. Meat production requires between 8 and 10 times more water than grain production, according to the WWAP. Fortunately, we're better about eating the meat we produce. It represents only 4 percent of the total food wasted by weight, and 7 percent of the calories wasted, according to WRI.
If you'd like to know how your favorite foods stack up in terms of how much water they require, this chart from the Water Footprint Network is pretty handy.
As for all the water in wasted food, we wondered where it goes.
"It depends on where people dispose of the lost or wasted food," says Craig Hansen, director of WRI's People & Ecosystems program and a co-author of the report, in an email to The Salt.
"For instance," he says, "the moisture in food lost immediately post-harvest or during open storage will likely evaporate."
In other words, that water ends up back in the atmosphere. But that doesn't mean it'll return to the place from whence it came. Now that food is crisscrossing the globe, the water-stressed regions that produce fruits and vegetables aren't necessarily going to get their water back.
As for food that goes to a dump, the water could be locked in — so it's not available — if the dump is closed, Hansen says, or it could evaporate over time if the dump is open.
As Brian Lipinski, the lead author of the World Resources Institute report, notes, in arid North Africa and West and Central Asia, more than half of the fruits and vegetables in the food supply end up being lost or wasted. It works out to about 63 pounds of produce per capita in these regions, he writes.
In the developing world, farmers struggle with food loss long before it gets to the consumer. But greater access to simple equipment, like silos for airtight food storage and crates for delicate fruits and vegetables, would help a lot, WRI says.
In rich countries, by contrast, most food waste happens further along the food distribution chain — in homes and restaurants, for example. We need to do a better job of redistributing food we can't eat, and serving and ordering smaller portions, according to the report.

Slow Cooker Black-Eyed Peas with Kale and Garlic is an easy, tasty vegan recipe to kick off your healthy living/eating New Year’s resolutions! Serve it as a vegetarian main dish that will satisfy even meat-eaters or hearty side dish to complement grilled meats.
What do you usually make for New Year’s Day? Do you buy into the traditions or superstitions of New Year’s? I have always figured that it is better to safe than sorry, so I typically do eat a traditional New Year’s Day meal to start the year off on a good foot 🙂 Here in the south, that is black-eyed peas and greens! I came up with this recipe for New Year’s Pork, Black-Eyed Peas and Greens and it has been our go to ever since. It contains pork, which is also considered lucky (pork for prosperity) and typically added into the New Year’s meal in the south. A lot of southerners use a ham hock or something similar but I always used lean, boneless pork chops to keep the meal healthier. This year, Dad decided that he wanted to cook steaks instead of having pork so I developed this recipe for Slow Cooker Black-Eyed Peas with Kale and Garlic.
Now this recipe can be cooked for New Year’s Day and complements just about any grilled meat quite nicely, but it is also vegan, hearty and very filling so it is perfect for a vegetarian/vegan main dish! If you are focusing on healthy eating, getting more vegetables, fiber, vitamins and nutrients in your’s or your family’s’ diets, then this recipe is a must-try!! It would be great for a Meatless Monday and I would beat that even the biggest meat lover’s in your group would be satisfied with this dish! The robust flavors of the kale, garlic, onion and balsamic vinegar paired with the filling, fiber-packed black-eyed peas will ensure that they don’t miss the meat 😉
I love making slow cooker black-eyed peas or any other beans/legumes for that matter! It really takes the hassle out of cooking dried beans. You can use the bowl of the slow cooker to soak your beans overnight, then rinse and let them cook low and slow throughout the day! All you need is about 10 minutes of prep to get everything ready, the slow cooker does all the work and about 8 hours later you have a delicious and healthy meal for your family! So here is to a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!! 2017 is going to kick some butt and take some names 🙂
Here is your recipe for Slow Cooker Black-Eyed Peas with Kale and Garlic:
- 1 (16 oz.) package dried black-eyed peas
- 1 large, yellow/sweet onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 16 oz. chopped kale, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tbsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp. ancho chili powder
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup reduced - sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flake, more or less depending on taste. Can be omitted altogether for less spice.
- Beginning the night before you want to enjoy this recipe, place the dried black-eyed peas in the bowl of a slow cooker, cover with water by at least an inch. Soak overnight.
- In the morning, drain and rinse the black-eyed peas. Rinse and dry the slow cooker bowl.
- Spray the slow cooker liner with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker bowl.
- Add soaked beans and chopped kale.
- Top with chili powder, cumin, chipotle chili powder, ancho chili powder, salt and pepper, then pour balsamic vinegar and broth over the top of everything.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours or until beans are tender.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes, if desired and enjoy!
Quick-soaking dried black-eyed peas --> http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/to-quick-soak-dried-black-eyed-peas-14716
Canned black-eyed peas, can be used as a substitute, just reduce the overall cooking time to 4 hours or beans will turn out too mushy.

Red Bull’s design chief Adrian Newey has criticised proposed 2021 Formula One regulations as taking the sport away from what it should be.
Radical changes to F1 regulations for 2021 will see drastically different looking cars, but Newey is no fan of the changes that he describes as being 'restrictive'.
"In many ways I look forward to regulation change because it's an opportunity to try to understand new things," Newey told INews.com.uk. "What I don't like is the general trend in successive regulations to become ever more restrictive."
The last significant changes to aerodynamic regulations came in 2009 and the changes helped Red Bull transform from a team stuck in the midfield to championship winners.
Newey added, "What was very nice about the last major change back in 2009 was that it wasn't more restrictive. But these new ones for 2021 are very restrictive and prescriptive. And I think that is an awful shame.
"It makes it a little bit GP1 which is not what I think Formula One should be."
The changes have been made in a bid to increase the raceability of F1 cars and to lessen the effect of the 'dirty air' left in their wake. Despite this considered approach from Liberty Media, the owners making their first big regulation changes since taking over the sport, Newey feels that some people have been ignored in the process.
"It's been pushed through regardless of what people think, so whether it's good for the sport or not, only time will tell," said Newey.

Page Six reports that Mario was trying hard to get close to the Simpsons last night at Marquee. Apparently he explained how he understood what it's like to be a celebrity and then proceeds to ask multiple times for a photo with the girls. Note to Mario, you are already starting to get annoying and you are not a star just because you made it to the top 12 of AI. BTW, apparently Ashlee has a new man.

To build a hut in the forest is a serious decision
mai 29, 2017 § Legg igjen en kommentar
I was thirteen the last time my best friend and I was hiding out in the forest, building a secret place. We tried to construct a language, only understood by us two. In the end it was so complicated, we had trouble understand ourselves. To play is a serious thing. You play as a training for the rest of your life. How wonderful to sneak out with the axe, believing you are unseen. Ready for adventures. I guess the kids playing in the forest had a nice time with their huts. All kids need a place to build and live a secret life.

Overall, the Internet itself is overflowing with one money making opportunity after another. While making money online for most people isn’t their primary source of income, it can net a very solid supplement stream of incoming dollars each month. There are some online entrepreneurs, however, that are managing to mine gold due to all the effort, persistence, and time they’ve invested in order to make that dream come true. Can one of these online money making options work for you?
27. Sponsored/paid posts – Many blogs publish sponsored and paid posts. Sponsored posts are basically just posts about a specific brand, product or service. A company will pay you to publish an article about it. It’s similar with other paid posts as well. Your basically selling the spot for the article on your site. If you decide to take this route, you’ll want to build your traffic before you will get many offers.
Create a killer course experience: With your course validated and in the works, you need to figure out how people will take it. Most course creators choose to host their courses (after going down the path of learning how to make a website) on their own blogs. This way, they get all the value of bringing customers back to their site on a regular basis. I host my own courses from a subdomain on my own site so I can easily add more. The course experience is incredibly important as well. And after trying most of the solutions, I highly recommend Teachable—an online platform designed specifically for courses.
If you hate the idea of writing you can always outsource that work to somebody else. But writing great content for an affiliate site really isn’t that difficult. It just takes a bit of practice, and once you see those first commission checks you’ll be up writing articles for your site before work, during your lunch break, and when you should be sound asleep in bed.
Startup costs: Freelance writing is another of those service-based businesses with very low start-up costs. There are tons of places online where you can find clients for free. At worst you can sign up for an Upwork account for $10 per month, just don’t plan on staying there forever. The most lucrative writing projects are rarely found on platforms like Upwork.
If you started university between 1998 and 2012, or since then in Scotland and Northern Ireland, you'll have a Plan 1 student loan. While much is written about whether those with savings should overpay the current English Plan 2 student loans, there's little out there about Plan 1. I wanted to change that, so here's a video explaining how to decide...
Double check yourself, before you double wreck yourself. Make sure everything you send to a company, whether a résumé, an email or a portfolio, is good to go. Double check your grammar and wording, and for God’s sake use spell check! This is especially important when it comes to the company’s name. Don’t spell their name wrong and be sure to type it how they type it (e.g. Problogger, not Pro Blogger).

Managing Agile involves designing, supporting and reinforcing a system of work to deliver business value. “Prevailing” organizational systems often reinforce and reward management behaviors that produce three dysfunctional paradigms: 1) magical thinking, 2) the illusion of control, and 3) the fantasy of individual blame. The transforming antidotes to these dysfunctions emerge from three key strengths of Agile approaches: relying on data and evidence; accepting uncertainty and unpredictability; and maintaining a whole systems view. In this talk, Diana Larsen will describe ways organizations have reduced their dependence on the dysfunctions and built on the strengths of an Agile way of doing business.
While many organizations have adopted Agile approaches at a project level, few have effectively aligned their human performance management processes with Agile values. This presentation and discussion will explore the subject of creating a truly holistic performance system that not only adheres to Agile principles, but actively promotes maturity in applying them to the delivery of measurable business and user value.
Expert recording and networking services for conferences, seminars and workshops.
Is it easier to transform an existing culture to agile or build one from scratch? Menlo Innovations’ CEO Richard Sheridan will share two tales of Agile transformation. The first occurred when Sheridan was a VP of a 30-year old technology company and he transformed his existing team by adopting Extreme Programming. The second occurred two years later, when he chose entrepreneurship and started a new company using these same practices. True Agile adoption is hard. This talk will explore three barriers to Agile transformation: the executive team, the tech team, and Sheridan himself.

In Part I of How to be Funny if You’re Not, I discussed a book that provides humorous quips available to be adapted to your story. Today I want to talk about John Vorhaus’ book, Comic Toolbox(Silman-James Press 1994). I bought this book
because I wanted to see if there were guidelines for humor. I like steps, a plan, Rules A, B, C that will insure I achieve the right end result. And the book’s byline–“A funny idea is worthless until you understand the mechanics of its construction and execution. Meet Mr. Goodwrench.”–made it sound like I’d found my blueprint.
Besides being a successful comic writer for most of his life with credits for a variety of sitcoms, Vorhaus taught at a variety of Film-oriented schools including the American Film Institute. What he does in the book is distill his lifetime of comedy writing into a how-to toolkit on creating humor. He starts by analyzing humor, explaining why some lines are funny and others aren’t, with lots of examples. You can’t get bored reading this book because the moment it starts to feel like a textbook, it breaks out into a joke (What do you get when you cross a Jehovah’s Witness with an agnostic? Someone who rings your doorbell for no apparent reason). Here are some hints that made sense to me in my quest for humor:
- mix truth with pain (A man falls off a cliff. As he plummets to his death, he’s heard to mutter, ‘So far, so good.’)
- be willing to risk making yourself look stupid
- for every ten jokes you tell, nine will be trash
- the comic premise is the gap between comic reality and real reality (for example, in the comic strip Peanuts, there’s a gap between Snoopy’s ‘real’ reality–he’s a dog–and his ‘comic’ reality–he’s a World War I flying ace
- humor through exaggeration (Jerry Lewis is the supreme bumbler)–and be bold about it
- clash of context–a forced union of incompatibles–i.e., lunar golf course, Madonna sings opera
- the wildly inappropriate response–For example, a backyard barbeque with militant vegetarianism, at a baseball game cheering for the vendors
- the law of comic opposites
- tension and release
Each chapter, he not only explains the comedic tool, he encourages the reader to practice the tool. For example, in the chapter, The Comic Premise, readers must write a mundane task (i.e., going to a store) and what would make that out of the ordinary (shopping for Uzis). Here’s one example I liked: a mundane event--the Magna Carta; out of the ordinary rejoinder–written by e.e. cummings.
In a nutshell, Vorhaus breaks comedy down into its bits and pieces. Yes, some people are blessed with the comic gene, a funny bone that turns life into a laugh tape, but the rest of us need help. Since I’m a firm believer that every story goes better with a sense of humor (I get a lot of my funny-isms from my naturally-talented husband), you’ll want to spend a couple hours with this book.
PS–I didn’t steal his subtitle. It probably isn’t the first time two minds came up with the same thought. Admittedly, he was first.

Take out your lip jewelry if you no longer wish to have the piercing, and are hoping to be rid of the hole. Apply an anti-scar gel or cream to the piercing site several times a day, following package directions. … Visit a plastic surgeon if the hole leaves a scar that does not fade after several months.
Furthermore, do piercings leave permanent holes?
If a piercing is fully healed, you’ve had the jewelry in place for longer than a year, and you take the jewelry out, chances are very good that the hole will shrink, but not close completely and look as if it were never there. You will likely always see a small divot where the jewelry was placed in the skin.
Likewise, how do you get rid of piercing scars?
Hypertrophic scar treatments
- Salt or saline soaks. Soaks speed up wound healing. …
- Chamomile soak. Bang Bang Body Arts, a custom body art studio in Massachusetts, recommends chamomile soaks in their piercing aftercare guidance. …
- Pressure. …
- Jewelry swap. …
- Silicone gel. …
- Corticosteroid injections. …
- Laser therapy. …
- Topical creams.
How do you hide a lip piercing hole?
Concealing the Hole. Apply a silicone primer. If your piercing has completely healed and you’ve removed the jewelry, dab silicone primer over the hole. A silicone primer should go on smoothly over the hole and help fill it in a little.
How can I hide a hole in my ear?
Apply concealer to your piercings.
If you’d like it to be secret that you have your ears pierced at all, remove your earrings and apply a small dab of concealer or foundation to the hole.
Do lip piercings make your lips look bigger?
Get the Look
Dahlia piercings will emphasize the corners of your mouth, and has the effect of making full lips look fuller, but thin lips look particularly long and thin.
Can you Repierce the same hole?
The answer is complicated. You need to have your professional piercer examine the place where you want to be repierced. Sometimes the hole may not be completely healed in the inside- if the outsides of the hole are just closed it may be easy for your piercer to repierce you in the same place with little complication.
What is an Ashley piercing?
As one of the few true lip piercings, the Ashley piercing consists of a single puncture through the center of the lower lip, exiting through the back of the lip into the mouth. … The Ashley piercing typically uses a labret stud with a dainty charm, ball, or gemstone sitting on the lower lip.
Can you sleep with a lip piercing?
No, you cannot take your piercing off or out to sleep. When piercings are very new it does not take very long for it heal over if it does not have jewelry in the hole. Sometimes they can heal up overnight.
Can you take out a lip piercing without it closing?
Thus if you want your lip piercing to completely close, then you need to just leave the ring out for this amount of time. … After you‘ve first had the piercing you will need to leave it time to heal around the piercing, and failure to do so will mean that your lip closes over very quickly – even within a few hours.
Will lip piercings ruin your teeth?
You’ve probably noticed that those with a pierced tongue or lip tend to play with the piercing a lot. This constant clicking and clanking of metal against teeth increase the likelihood of tooth damage – such as chipped teeth, broken teeth, and worn enamel – which can expose teeth to bacteria and decay.
How do you get rid of rejected piercing scars?
Rub the scar with a mixture of tea tree and coconut oil.
- Repeat this process for three months, or until the scar has disappeared.
- You can also add other essential oils like jojoba oil, emu oil, or helichrysum oil to the mixture to get rid of your belly piercing scars.
Can you drain a piercing bump?
You shouldn’t drain any pus or remove crust, as this can worsen your symptoms and lead to increased scarring. In many cases, the bump will clear with treatment. Keep reading to learn how to treat the affected area and prevent further irritation.

By Martin E. P. Seligman and Ed Royzman
There are, in our view, three types of traditional theories of happiness. Which one you believe has implications for how you lead your life, raise your child, or even cast your vote.
First, there is Hedonism. In all its variants, it holds that happiness is a matter of raw subjective feeling. A happy life maximizes feelings of pleasure and minimizes pain. A happy person smiles a lot, is ebullient, bright eyed and bushy tailed; her pleasures are intense and many, her pains are few and far between. This theory has its modern conceptual roots in Bentham's utilitarianism (Bentham, 1978), its contagion in Hollywood entertainment, its grossest manifestation in American consumerism, and one of its most sophisticated incarnations in the views of our fellow positive psychologist, Danny Kahneman, who recently won the Nobel Prize in economics. His theory must wrestle with an important question: Whose life is it anyway, the experiencer or the retrospective judge of pleasure?
Consider the following scenario: researchers beep people at random during the day, ask how much pleasure or pain a person is experiencing right now (the Experience Sampling Method, ESM), and extrapolate to an approximate total for the experienced happiness over the week. They also ask the same people afterwards "how happy was your week?" The retrospective summary judgment of happiness often differs greatly from the extrapolated total of experienced happiness. Remember your last vacation? "Yes, it was great!" you might say, even though if beeped during it, the mosquitoes, the traffic, the sunburn, and the overpriced food might gainsay your summary judgment. At the hands of an experimental psychologist, hedonism becomes a methodological commitment: your "objective happiness" for a given time period is computed by adding up your on-line hedonic assessments of all the individual moments that comprise that period. This computed aggregate of "experienced utility" becomes the criterion of truth about how genuinely happy your vacation (your childhood, your life) should be taken to be. On this view, the experiencer is always right. If the experiencer and the retrospective judge disagree, so much the worse for the judge.
One basic challenge facing a hedonist is that when we wish someone a happy life (or a happy childhood, or even a happy week), we are not merely wishing that they accumulate a tidy sum of pleasures, irrespective of how this sum is distributed across one's life-span or its meaning for the whole (Velleman, 1991). We can imagine two lives that contain the same exact amount of momentary pleasantness, but one life tells a story of gradual decline (ecstatic childhood, light-hearted youth, dysphonic adulthood, miserable old age) while another is a tale of gradual improvement (the above pattern in reverse). The difference between these lives is a matter of their global trajectories and these cannot be discerned from the standpoint of its individual moments. They can only be fathomed by a retrospective judge examining the life-pattern as a whole.
With this in mind, Authentic Happiness's principal challenge to Hedonism is Wittgenstein's last words: "Tell them it was wonderful!" uttered even after a life of negative emotion and even downright misery. Hedonism cannot handle this type of retrospective summary without tagging it as gross misjudgment ("he must have been delirious!")
Desire theory can do better than Hedonism. Desire theories hold that happiness is a matter of getting what you want (Griffin, 1986), with the content of the want left up to the person who does the wanting. Desire theory subsumes hedonism when what we want is lots of pleasure and little pain. Like hedonism, desire theory can explain why an ice-cream cone is preferable to a poke in the eye. However, hedonism and desire theory often part company. Hedonism holds that the preponderance of pleasure over pain is the recipe for happiness even if this is not what one desires most. Desire theory holds that that fulfillment of a desire contributes to one's happiness regardless of the amount of pleasure (or displeasure). One obvious advantage of Desire theory is that it can make sense of Wittgenstein. He wanted truth and illumination and struggle and purity, and he did not much desire pleasure. His life was "wonderful" according to Desire theory because he achieved more of truth and illumination than most mortals, even though as a "negative affective," he experienced less pleasure and more pain than most people.
Nozick's (1974) experience machine (your lifetime is in a tank with your brain wired up to yield any experiences you want) is turned down because we desire to earn their pleasures and achievements. We want them to come about as a result of right action and good character, not as an illusion of brain chemistry. So the Desire criterion for happiness moves from Hedonism's amount of pleasure felt to the somewhat less subjective state of how well one's desires are satisfied.
Our principle objection to Desire theory is that one might desire only to collect china tea cups or orgasms or only to listen to Country and Western music or to count fallen leaves all day long. The world's largest collection of tea cups, no matter how "satisfying," does not seem to add up to much of a happy life. One move to deflect this objection is to limit the scope of Desire theory to the fulfillment of only those desires that one would have if one aimed at an objective list of what is truly worthwhile in life.
Objective List Theory
Objective List theory (Nussbaum, 1992; Sen, 1985) lodges happiness outside of feeling and onto a list of "truly valuable" things in the real world. It holds that happiness consists of a human life that achieves certain things from a list of worthwhile pursuits: such a list might include career accomplishments, friendship, freedom from disease and pain, material comforts, civic spirit, beauty, education, love, knowledge, and good conscience. Consider the thousands of abandoned children living on the streets of the Angolan capitol of Luanda. As the New York Times tells us, "dressed in rags, they spend nights in the sandy strip along the bay, and their days foraging for food through mounds of garbage." It seems conceivable that their existence, consumed with meeting momentary needs, adventurous roving in gangs, casual sex, with little thought for tomorrow, might actually be subjectively "happy" from either the Hedonism or Desire theory perspective. But we are reluctant to classify such an existence as "happy" and the Objective List theory tells us why. These children are deprived of many or most things that would go on anybody's list of what is worthwhile in life.
Although we find Objective List's shift to the objectively valuable a positive move, our principal objection to this theory is that some big part of how happy we judge a life to be must take feelings and desires (however shortsighted) into account.
Where does our Authentic Happiness (Seligman, 2003) theory stand with respect to these three theoretical traditions? Our theory holds that there are three distinct kinds of happiness: the Pleasant Life (pleasures), the Good Life (engagement), and the Meaningful Life. The first two are subjective, but the third is at least partly objective and lodges in belonging to and serving what is larger and more worthwhile than the just the self's pleasures and desires. In this way, Authentic Happiness synthesizes all three traditions: The Pleasant Life is about happiness in Hedonism's sense. The Good Life is about happiness in Desire's sense, and the Meaningful Life is about happiness in Objective List's sense. To top it off, Authentic Happiness further allows for the "Full Life," a life that satisfies all three criteria of happiness.

After 3 FULL days of mapping, planning, and strategizing with 3 different groups of educators (administration, technology, and math teachers) from 3 different schools within 3 different areas of the United States, I can tell you that the Three-cubed prototype project was amazing. Every single day of my life I connect with my twitter PLN to become a better educator and I truly find great value in that. I also found great value in meeting with like-minded individuals to work towards a solution for the common good of Christian education.
As we walked into this meeting, the majority of us had met one other time, over a couple of days for a few hours, so to say there wasn't a huge "connection" between the different schools would be a fair assumption. After a day and a half of some really good "give and take" safe discussions we broke up into groups to create a "lesson plan" using some math standards. My group consisted of a principal from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, myself as an instructional technologist from Chattanooga, Tennessee and a math teacher from Chattanooga as well.
We went right into prep mode looking at our standards we had been assigned. Immediately the math teacher had ideas on what she would want to do. The administration looked at it from what are the different modalities we could use in order to reach the most learning styles and he started aligning the standards being reached based on the choices we started brainstorming. I, of course, started looking at what technology could enhance the learning objectives that could also be standard aligned. In a matter or 30 minutes of thinking and rethinking, asking each other questions and seeing the math teacher as the true authority of the group, we had a blended learning lesson that felt right with a prior night flipped video for a hook.
It felt good to talk it out amongst ourselves. To share ideas when we each got stuck on a certain point. To reiterate the value of certain objectives when it got lost in the discussion. To search for helpful alternatives for each modality. To share our concerns over things that had the potential to cause a bottleneck. To share our excitement on things that certainly would cause certain students to have a better chance at learning well. It was the beauty of collaboration. A collaborative opportunity that worked so well it felt like perfection. Maybe it was because we had spent so much time together pushing ourselves to think outside the box and to be open to new ideas. Maybe it was because we had been forced to think creatively for a while. Maybe it was because we were all invested in the concept and were ready to "see" it in action. Regardless of the why's, it was a lovely moment.
You know those kind of moments, I have had several as an educator: Like the time the third grader that had never spoken out loud in class that I had taught since kindergarten raised her hand and answered a question, or the time that a co-teacher told me "I don't fear technology, your encouragement has made me brave to try new things and with your help, I see the value of this tool in my classroom.", or when I walk into the classroom as a tech coach and a student looks up and sees me and starts clapping because he's so excited to get to use technology, or my all time favorite is when a parent comes to me concerned about technology use in the elementary school and leaves saying "you've opened my eyes, my student is fortunate to have you as an instructor." We have those moments that make us go "YES!" The last three days were like that for me. I love innovation, I love collaboration. I believe that iron sharpens iron. These days included all those things. If I could do that type of thing every single day and throw in some student interaction as well, I would be walking on clouds professionally speaking.
As a rule, the teaching profession has been silo-centered...teachers have plugged away in their classroom with 20-30 students with little accountability, being the sole authority, with no resources beyond the 20-30 minutes they MIGHT get for lunch and a brief planning period on some days that they choose to seek out if they want to. Administration tries to develop meaningful professional development as best they can within that as well. But times are changing- educators are seeing more support staff in their classrooms and they are being evaluated as they teach more often. I saw a quote today that made me smile-- it says "If we create a culture where every teacher believes they need to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better, there is no limit to what we can achieve." - Dylan Wiliam (University of London). I am a believer in this. I continue to seek out ways to collaborate for the greater good of the students that I teach. I have a strong desire to be a lifelong learner and never grow stagnant and "happy" with my teaching ability. I love thinking beyond "how does this affect my students" and looking at a broader picture. These last 3 days have just solidified that within me more and more. Thankful hearted today.

Read from SD card

Is it posible to read pictures from the sd card and display them?
If posible is there an example?
ajb2k3 last edited by
Yes it is possible but it’s slower then reading from memory. I haven’t had the time yet to look into it as I have only just scratched the surface of image work.
lukasmaximus last edited by
Hi @Powersoft this is as simple as loading images from the flash. Only you just have to mount the sd and then point the directory towards the location of your file.
import uos uos.sdconfig(uos.SDMODE_SPI,clk=18,mosi=23,miso=19,cs =4) uos.mountsd() image0 = M5Img(0, 0, "/sd/face.jpg", True) image0.show()
Keep in mind these requirement:
- Image must be of jpg file type
- must not exceed 25kb in file size
- image name including extension must not exceed 10 letters

By A Contributor: Straight to the point: Within 21 days Gambians have witnessed two acts of lawlessness in Kanilai by folks who have shown their determination to stand against the verdict and sovereignty of Gambians. While it has been reported that the Interior Minister said the latest incident was as a result of miscommunication, yet I do not buy that narrative. This is because one would expect that Gambian soldiers would by now be able to recognize ECOMIG forces. Our soldiers must know that ECOMIG forces are not adversaries. Hence if ECOMIG forces should show up in Kanilai at anytime, one would expect that a simple phone call by our soldiers to GAF headquarters would suffice. Why can’t ECOMIG also make a simple call to their command or GAF headquarters to obtain access? But to allow such an encounter to deteriorate into live firing tells me something is not right. This incident could have been a bloodbath!
As a citizen therefore I take this incident with great concern. Are there civilians and soldiers still loyal to Yaya Jammeh as president of the Gambia? If that is the case I therefore see their actions as purely aimed at directly injuring my voice and sovereignty after the December 1 election. I see it as an act directly aimed at aiding and abetting a brutal tyranny in our homeland. I see it as an act that completely disregards the destruction of the lives of Gambians at the hands of a brutal regime. That is unacceptable. Therefore it is high time the government takes effective control of the country in order to forestall a violent crisis that we avoided in December. This means also effectively putting all Yaya Jammeh properties under state custody.
The reason why the nine NIA officers were arrested and charged for murder is the same reason why all properties under the name of Yaya Jammeh, Kanilai Farms and KGI must be confiscated by the State until a proper judicial determination is done. The murders and tortures and the huge amount of wealth amassed by Yaya Jammeh were illegal and cannot be ignored. This is also why bodies are being exhumed and political prisoners being released. All these actions speak to one fundamental fact. That fundamental fact is that Yaya Jammeh was acting outside of the law in ruling the Gambia hence his abuse of power and the uncontrolled and widespread acquisition of various properties including the Kanilai palace and ranch. These are all acts of corruption that cannot be ignored.
Hence Chief Servant Adama Barrow and no Gambian for that matter must be in any illusion that for the purpose of national security and cohesion, Yaya Jammeh properties must be put under the firm control of the State at the first instance. In that regard ECOMIG forces must be used to secure these properties while Gambian soldiers are withdrawn. Instead what we need is to have the Gambia Armed Forces undergo a thorough audit.
It is clear that our armed forces was severely compromised and corrupted by Yaya Jammeh. Through unnecessary and illegal recruitment and underserved promotions and personal control of the army, Yaya Jammeh had succeeded in negatively politicizing the military and turning it into a public enemy. Hence in building the new Gambia, it would also require cleansing and restructuring the army entirely. Sacred military values, standards and form must be injected back into the Gambia Armed Forces to make it a truly national, professional and depoliticized military. But before that, the government must use ECOMIG for strategic functions.
The Government needs to make it clear to those who wish to deny to know that the Gambia was supposed to be a democratic dispensation since 1997 when the constitution came into force. Yet for 20 years, Yaya Jammeh and APRC bastardised that constitution to their satisfaction. They subjected Gambians to direct physical harm and wanton plunder of our resources in total contravention of the constitution and the norms of democracy. Therefore when we went to elections on December 1 and the people spoke, it is a legal obligation on all Gambians to respect that decision. Any attempt to engage in physical activity aimed at denying that verdict constitutes treason because it means such a person is now seeking to subvert the will of the people thereby aiming to overthrow a democratically elected government.
Thus the government must let all civilians and security personnel understand that much as one has a right to support any party and politician, yet no one has the right to violently reject the will of the citizenry in which they chose their government. The actions of those civilians and soldiers in Kanilai so far constitute a serious crime for which there is need for government action. For that matter, ECOMIG forces must be deployed to secure that compound as well as all other Yaya Jammeh properties until the law decides on their fate.
While it is commendable that the Interior Minister is engaged in mediation efforts in our communities especially in Foni, however acts of politically instigated lawlessness as we have seen in Foni, Talinding, and Jimara and elsewhere must not be tolerated. The full force of the law must be deployed to bring perpetrators to book. While everyone has a right to peacefully oppose the government and criticize the president, yet no one has the right to overthrow the will of Gambians as expressed in an election. Therefore Pres. Barrow must exert effective control.

Next, you need to define the time range for the report. You can set only one time interval to analyze the alerting activity for a specific time range, or define two time intervals to compare the alerting activity during two periods.
In our example, the report will analyze the alerting activity for the following intervals: a week before monitors and rules were changed (1st interval) and a week after the changes were made (2nd interval).
- From the 1st Interval From list, choose Previous Week > Monday. From the 1st Interval To list, choose Previous Week > Friday.
- From the Use Second Interval list, choose Yes.
- From the 2nd Interval From list, choose This Week > Monday. From the 2nd Interval To list, choose This Week > Friday.
If you want to create a report for one time range, choose No from the Use Second Interval list. In this case, you will still need to select the beginning and the end of the second interval (these can be any values). This is by design of Microsoft; the behavior of report parameter controls cannot be changed.

Thamanyah is the responsible party for this insano giant scarf-poncho-drapey thing. Doesn't it just look so comfy and dramatic at the same damn time, which is kinda, like, impossible? I mean, who hasn’t wanted to look like a Roman senator? That way when your best friend shows up to that "industry night" store opening wearing the same over-sized ihram, you can be like, “Et tu, Brute? ET TU?” That was a long and winding road to a Shakespeare joke, but I know you appreciated it because you are a smartypants, so it was totally worth it, wasn't it?

I had been using Spamassassin an a FreeBSD system for a few years when I set out to try and get it working on an Exchange 2000 box. I wrote a hack that allowed that to work, and have documented that before on this site (here and here for example).
For a small amount of mail (certainly say within a thousand messages a day, each, for 20 users) this solution works pretty well, especially once you get it tweaked and have your white/black lists worked out and the Bayesian filters trained.
As noted by this person who tried it, it takes less than a second per email, so the better your hardware, the more you could theoretically handle. Also as that same person notes though, there are better solutions - they ended up switching overto SpamStopsHere (something I will try and cover at a later date since I don't have any personal experience with it, yet).
Do note that the best part of this option is that it is totally free and allows the admin to tinker with it and have as much control as they like. This is admittedly not always a good thing.

We waited under the cottonwoods for the ferry to come back across the Missouri River. But the heat still throbbed from the metal of our car, and it turned out to be better to stand close to the water. The river seemed so big, its incongruous whisper belying its steady speed. Clouds of swallows chased insects over the water, and doves rested in the shadows. My wife kept touching her forehead with a Kleenex and staring across at the ferry, as if to hurry its return. We could see the ferryman chatting with his passengers, which only increased her agitation. We were heading from our home in Livingston to Ellie’s family ranch to celebrate our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Twenty-five years and no children: her parents had stopped interrogating us about that. They assumed that it was a physical problem that some clinic could solve, but we didn’t want children. We lacked the courage to tell them that. We both liked children; we just didn’t want any ourselves. There were children everywhere, and we saw no reason to start our own brand. Young couples plunge into parenthood and about half the time they end up with some ghastly problem on their hands. We thought we’d leave that to others. But my in-laws were elderly and they had the usual views of hereditary landowners: they longed for an heir. They had acquired their land from my wife’s grandfather and, with it, a belief in family values that did not stand up to scrutiny, since most ranches these days were the scene of bitter inheritance battles. But even if my wife had had siblings she would not have been part of this sort of trouble, as she had never—at least, not since adolescence—wanted to pursue ranch life, rural life, agricultural life. She would have said to a sibling, “Take it! It’s all yours. I’m out of here.” There would have been an element of posturing in this, because she was very attached to the land; she just didn’t want to own it or do anything with it. Neither did I.
The thing was that we were quite poor. We were both grade-school teachers, and owning a house had been the extent of our indulgences. We loved our house and our work and were suitably grateful for both, though Ellie felt that if I hadn’t been so hellbent on retiring the mortgage we might have done a few more things for fun. My in-laws couldn’t believe that we had no interest in owning a ranch that was worth millions. But they wouldn’t have allowed us to sell it. We’d be stuck with it if we went along with them, which we weren’t about to do, and so now they were stuck with it: cows, farming equipment, fences—the whole enchilada. And they were getting old. The ranch was going to eat them alive, and they knew it. The fences would fall down; the cows would get out; the neighbors, old friends, would start to think of them as a problem. Once across this river, we’d be heading for a very sad story.
Well, not that sad. They’d had their day and it was almost over. That’s how it is for everybody. They liked to be seen as heroic strivers, alone on the unforgiving prairie, but they could have handed the ranch over, no strings attached, and headed for Arizona; after the sale, there would have been plenty for everybody. I had an extensive collection of West Coast jazz records, including the usual suspects, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, and so on—not everybody has Wardell Gray and Buddy Collette, but I did—and if I’d had a bit more dough I could have added a room on to our house specifically to house this collection, with an appropriate sound system. But when I complained about things like this to Ellie, she just said, “Cue the violins.”
It looked as though our appallingly high-mileage compact car was going to be the only one going on the ferry. My wife and I sat in the front, while the back seat was filled with her belongings, as was the trunk. I had no idea why she’d felt called upon to bring this exalted volume of luggage, unless it was to store things on the ranch that were cluttering up our little house. I could have asked, but I just didn’t feel like it.
“I think he’s turning around,” Ellie said, and I came out of my trance. The cable groaned next to us, and, across the river, I could see the ferry finally moving our way. Ellie was looking forward to this visit. I certainly was not. The ranch was where she had grown up, a nature lover. Despite all its deficiencies, it was her place on earth. [cartoon id="a16838"]
We watched the ferry tack across the Missouri, tugging at an angle to the cable, then landing with a broad thump on the ramp. The ferryman, who was far too young for the wide red suspenders he affected, motioned us forward, and I drove our piece-of-shit car onto the dock.
While we crossed, my wife stood on the ferry deck, looking out at the river, smiling and sighing at the swallows circling the current. I told her that they were just after the bugs. She said she understood that, but they looked beautiful whatever they were doing, all right? I’ve long had trouble with people picking out some detail of the landscape and pretending it’s the whole story, as though, in this case, the blue light around those speeding birds could do anything to mask the desolation of the country north of the river, a land I traverse holding my nose.
“Aren’t you going to get out of the car?” she asked.
“Who’s supposed to drive it off the ferry?”
I looked away from my wife and turned on the radio: no signal. I thought about her peculiar cheer today. I supposed it was the prospect of seeing her mother and father, of revisiting the scenes of her childhood, which she had done often enough to prove the utter heroism of my patience. Though, in recent times, we had talked less and less, which begged the question: what was there to talk about? We worked and we saved. We saved quite a bit more than Ellie would have, had she been in charge of things. What was becoming a comfortable nest egg would have disappeared in jaunts to Belize or some other place, where Ellie could show more of the body she was so proud of to anyone and everyone. She once had the nerve to point out that all this saving up for old age was remarkable for someone who had so much contempt for the elderly. I said, “Ha-ha-ha.” She was going to have to settle for wiggling her butt in the school corridors until the inevitable day when the damn thing sagged.
At last we landed, and I drove off. Ellie was having a lively chat with the ferryman, and she took her time getting back in the car. I stared straight through the windshield until she got around to it. When she climbed in, with a sort of bounce, she exclaimed, “He grew up on the neighbor’s place, the Showalters’. He’s a Showalter. Graduated from Winnett, where I went.”
The ranch was no more than half an hour from the ferry. Ellie’s excitement grew along the route. Here is a sampler of her exclamations:
· “Look at all the antelope! There must be a hundred of them!”
· “Oh, I can smell the sage now!”
· “This road looks like a silver ribbon!”
· “Those are all redtail hawks, just riding that thermal!”
· “What a grass year! Can you imagine what Dad’s calves will look like?”
To this last, I said, “No.” I honestly thought she was getting manic as we approached the ranch. Ellie is an enthusiast, but this went well beyond her usual behavior. I don’t know if she detected my concern, but she seemed to catch herself and clam up; she was talking less, but I could still feel her glee from my position at the wheel. I wondered if the situation called for a pill.
I drove under the ranch gate, with its iron brand hanging overhead—two inverted “V”s, known in the graceful local vernacular as “the squaw tits.” Dad, as I had long felt obliged to call him, and his wife, Mom, stood at the edge of the yard, framed from behind by their bitter little clapboard house. Dad was in full regalia: Stetson hat, leather vest, cowboy boots, and—this was new—a six-gun. Mom was dressed more conventionally, except for the lace-up boots with her wash dress and the lunch pail she was holding. Believe me, it was Methuselah and his bride at the Grand Ole Opry.
There was something about their expressions that I didn’t like. It was my turn to keep busy, as I tried to elicit signs of life from this tableau, which now included my sombre wife. Dad helped me unload Ellie’s considerable luggage, and, once it was all out on the ground, Mom handed me the lunch pail. “What’s this?” I asked.
“Something to eat on the way home. A casserole.”
I turned to Ellie. Tears filled her eyes. I felt that this could have been handled in another way—without Dad’s hand on the gun, and so forth. I think, at times like this, your first concern is to hang on to a shred of dignity. If I had a leg to stand on, it was that Ellie was upset and I was not. What kind of idiot puts a casserole in a lunch pail?
After I got back on the ferry, the thought that I was headed . . . home—well, I was not entirely comfortable with this thought, and I didn’t enjoy the ferryman staring at me, either, or asking if someone had shot my dog. I just stared out at the river, hardly a ripple in it, and miles to go before the next bend. ♦

A short post to give some more feedback about working with the wood composite. I decided to print out “Working Micro Gear Heart Keychain” by CrazyJaw.
The stuff really sticks nicely to the bed without it having to be heated with no curling. The gear heart trays are quite small so I will try and print something larger to see how well it copes.
It acts largely like PLA, but oozes much more. I had to up my retract settings a little, and it still blobbed quite a bit. I was printing at 195°C and so it may be that a cooler hot-end might reduce the ooze. I chose 195°C because I got the impression at 185°C it came out a little rough. Now I have a couple of prints done I will be more daring and print at 180°C for longer.
An interesting observation is that the visibility of the layers, which is usually something we try and minimise, becomes a feature aesthetically. It gives the print more of a wood grain look. The photos were taken in a range of lighting conditions to try and convey how it looks.
The parts still feel, and act, like a polymer, which is to be expected, but it has a much rougher finish – at least at the temperatures I have been using so far. Directly after printing it has a rather spongy feel and after a while it hardens somewhat, but it is generally a bit more rubbery and compressible than PLA. Sanding, drilling and cutting is more similar to working with PLA than with wood, unsurprisingly. Sanding makes the surface much lighter and detracts from the overall appearance. I used various grades of paper, including wet&dry, to some success, but bringing out the Dremel makes it much lighter work, remembering to keep the revs nice and low.
I also drilled and tapped a small test piece for a 3mm bolt. It holds well though I would be wary of putting it under any serious load – as with PLA.
I also applied some water-based acrylic paint to a piece (not shown) and it appears to go one well. Once it’s dry I will report how it looks and holds.
So far it’s a fun material to work with, and the aesthetic quality will definitely add something new to 3D printing. From my very limited testing I would be wary about using it for precise or complicated engineering parts and would probably lean towards structural components. However, my machine doesn’t produce very high quality prints, plus I’ve only just begun playing with it, so there may be much more to this material than I have discovered so far.
I should state, the gears don’t actually turn, but this is due to my being unable to print out the pins to a sufficient quality. A tighter calibrated machine could well produce a working copy with this material.

Last Friday I wrote this post as part of Five Minute Friday. It was written and published before I went to work.
Some people could interpret it as a rant – and I suppose it was.
When I went to a local news station’s website and saw over 650 closings it dawned on me that a few that were closed but the majority of Northeast Ohio was open for business.
I believe God put the idea and words for that post in my heart because the weather that day was not typical of a winter in Northeast Ohio.
What God Has Place On My Heart Now
God has me praying for my coworker and her family because her husband was killed in a car accident Friday.
Please keep them in your prayers this week.
Thank you and God Bless You.
Linking up with Kate Motaung for Five Minute Friday. Today’s word is “Open.”
It was -11 degrees this morning when Rommie and I rolled out of bed – that was before factoring in the wind chill.
Superintendents announced schools would be closed Thursday and Friday on Wednesday afternoon.
While “closed” describes schools, “open” describes businesses.
Even though sub-zero temperatures have “Frozen” Northeast Ohio, employees must report to work. Roads are icy and there are numerous accidents on every freeway, but businesses are open.
Are you that greedy that employees must risk life and limb to come to work?
The wind chill advisory is over at noon, so have your employees leave for work at noon if your business must be open.
The world will not fall apart if your business closes for one day.
Open your heart and let love pour out all over your employees. As you take care of them, they will take care of you.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13: 34 – 35

When Marc Edwards opens his mouth, dangerous things come out.
In 2003 the Virginia Tech civil-engineering professor said that there was lead in the Washington, D.C., water supply, and that the city had been poisoning its residents. He was right.
Last fall he said there was lead in the water in Flint, Mich., despite the reassurances of state and local authorities that the water was safe. He was right about that, too.
Working with residents of Flint, Mr. Edwards led a study that revealed that the elevated lead levels in people’s homes were not isolated incidents but a result of a systemic problem that had been ignored by state scientists. He has since been appointed to a task force to help fix those problems in Flint. In a vote of confidence, residents last month tagged a local landmark with a note to the powers that be: "You want our trust??? We want Va Tech!!!"
But being right in these cases has not made Mr. Edwards happy. Vindicated or not, the professor says his trials over the last decade and a half have cost him friends, professional networks, and thousands of dollars of his own money.
The infrastructural problems go beyond the public utilities of certain American cities, he says. In an interview with The Chronicle, Mr. Edwards said that the systems built to support scientists do not reward moral courage and that the university pipeline contains toxins of its own — which, if ignored, will corrode public faith in science.
The following interview has been edited and condensed.
Q. I just came back from Flint, and it may not come as a surprise to you that you’re something of a folk hero there. What do you think about that?
A. It’s a natural byproduct of science conducted as a public good. Normal people really appreciate good science that’s done in their interest. They stepped forward as citizen scientists to explore what was happening to them and to their community, we provided some funding and the technical and analytical expertise, and they did all the work. I think that work speaks for itself.
Q. Scientific studies by university-affiliated researchers, namely you and Mona Hanna-Attisha, were a big part of what broke this case open. On the other hand, it took a Flint resident writing to a professor in Virginia to start the process of finding out that there was lead in the drinking water. Do you see this as an academic success story or a cautionary tale?
Research and the Real World
University scientists have shown that they’re good at turning research into products. But are those scientists, and their funders, making the same effort to turn their work into solutions for society's problems?
Paul Basken, a senior reporter at The Chronicle, examines that question in a special package. Chronicle subscribers can read the whole package now, in a downloadable booklet that's designed to be printed and shared.
This is something that I’m upset about deeply. I’ve kind of dedicated my career to try to raise awareness about this. I’m losing a lot of friends. People don’t want to hear this. But we have to get this fixed, and fixed fast, or else we are going to lose this symbiotic relationship with the public. They will stop supporting us.
Q. Do you have any sense that perverse incentive structures prevented scientists from exposing the problem in Flint sooner?
A. Yes, I do. In Flint the agencies paid to protect these people weren’t solving the problem. They were the problem. What faculty person out there is going to take on their state, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?
I don’t blame anyone, because I know the culture of academia. You are your funding network as a professor. You can destroy that network that took you 25 years to build with one word. I’ve done it. When was the last time you heard anyone in academia publicly criticize a funding agency, no matter how outrageous their behavior? We just don’t do these things.
If an environmental injustice is occurring, someone in a government agency is not doing their job. Everyone we wanted to partner said, Well, this sounds really cool, but we want to work with the government. We want to work with the city. And I’m like, You’re living in a fantasy land, because these people are the problem.
Q. Now that your hypothesis has been vindicated, and the government has its tail between its legs, a lot of researchers are interested.
A. And I hope that they’re interested for the right reasons. But there’s now money — a lot of money — on the table.
Q. Not as much as some of them would like. I heard a lot of people say they thought that a zero might have been missing from the grant money that the University of Michigan made available.
A. Right. But the expectation is that there’s tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars that are going to be made available by these agencies. And some part of that will be directed toward research, so we now have a financial incentive to get involved. I hate to sound cynical about it. I know these folks have good intentions. But it doesn’t change the fact that, Where were we as academics for all this time before it became financially in our interest to help? Where were we?
Q. Now, of course, when you walk around Flint and ask people about the reassurances they’re hearing now, they don’t believe anybody. When is it appropriate for academics to be skeptical of an official narrative when that narrative is coming from scientific authorities? Surely the answer can’t be "all of the time."
A. I’m really surprised how emotional this interview is making me, and I’ve given several hundred interviews. What these agencies did in [the Washington, D.C., case] was the most fundamental betrayal of public trust that I’ve ever seen. When I realized what they had done, as a scientist, I was just outraged and appalled.
I grew up worshiping at the altar of science, and in my wildest dreams I never thought scientists would behave this way. The only way I can construct a worldview that accommodates this is to say, These people are unscientific. Science should be about pursuing the truth and helping people. If you’re doing it for any other reason, you really ought to question your motives.
Unfortunately, in general, academic research and scientists in this country are no longer deserving of the public trust. We’re not.
Q. I think of that rock with the spray paint on it that says, "You want our trust??? We want Va Tech!!!" That’s a vote of confidence in you at the expense of confidence in anybody else. Is that a happy piece of graffiti in your eyes?
A. It’s a symbol of the total failure of our government science agencies, and also of our academic institutions. I really derive no personal satisfaction from that. I feel shame. That’s what I feel.
Q. I keep coming back to these university researchers in Flint who said: "The state has 50 epidemiologists. They say that the water’s safe. So I’m going to focus my energy on something that’s less settled." How do you decide when the state should be challenged?
A. That’s a great question. We are not skeptical enough about each other’s results. What’s the upside in that? You’re going to make enemies. People might start questioning your results. And that’s going to start slowing down our publication assembly line. Everyone’s invested in just cranking out more crap papers.
So when you start asking questions about people, and you approach them as a scientist, if you feel like you’re talking to an adult and they give you a rational response and are willing to share data and discuss an issue rationally, I’m out of there. I go home.
But when you reach out to them, as I did with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and they do not return your phone calls, they do not share data, they do not respond to FOIA [open-records requests], y’know. … In each case I just started asking questions and turning over rocks, and I resolved to myself, The second something slimy doesn’t come out, I’m gonna go home. But every single rock you turn over, something slimy comes out.
Q. But at some point in a place like Flint, trust has to be restored somehow in order for the system to continue working.
Q. I talked to this woman yesterday at the university pavilion. She’s a senior, a nursing student. We looked at the stickers the university had put on its water fountain, saying that this has a filter, that this is safe. And she said: "No. I don’t drink the water here. I don’t care what they say. I don’t care if it’s from the university." At that level of mistrust, the system doesn’t work. What do you think people would have to see in order to start trusting what scientists tell them?
A. It’s going to take time for the people in Flint. They have been so betrayed, and the callous way that our most vulnerable were treated in Flint by the very agencies paid to protect them is so profoundly disturbing. That’s why this is striking such a chord.
Q. You teach a course on ethics and heroism at Virginia Tech. How exactly does one teach heroism to college students?
A. We teach aspirational ethics. What I teach my students is, You’re born heroic. I go into these animal studies, and heroism is actually in our nature. What you have to do is make sure that the system doesn’t change you, that our educational system doesn’t teach you to be willfully blind and to forget your aspirations, because that’s the default position.
We talk about the realities of heroism too. It’s not fun. These are gut-wrenching things. But the main thing is, Do not let our educational institutions make you into something that you will be ashamed of.
Q. And you sort of warn them that you’re preparing them for a life of possible sadness and alienation?
A. Well, yeah. There’s a price to be paid.

Once again Brandy has put out another teaser for her upcoming video “ Put It Down”. While some may call it the strategic marketing given the sales of Brandy’s prior albums I call it pure delay. The song hit the internet well over three months ago, Brandy has done several interviews and promotion for her duet song with Monica and now she need strikes the iron while its hot and put this video once and for all.
Last week, the singer released video photos of her and Chris Brown on set and now this week a video teaser has been released.
Sidebar: Like when can we expect the full video?
In the teaser vid, Chris Brown get’s to explore his artsy side [once again] which is shown in the beginning clip, and Brandy reverts back to her ole look from her “I Want To Be Down” video rocking her former signature black box braids.
Take a peep of the video to come:
“Put It Down” is the debut single off of Brandy’s new album, Two Eleven, which is due out October 2.

We are always touched when parents reach out to tell us what this community means to their family, sometimes even after just one summer.
Only wish I had gone there so I’d be an alum too – Mother of both a Kenwood and an Evergreen camper
The look of pure adoration on his face when he hugs you and Scott makes me incredibly happy. I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again: thank you, thank you, thank you!!
– Mother of both a Kenwood and an Evergreen camper after a winter reunion
This is just a quick thank you note from us to you and everyone else at camp for an amazing six years. We think back and realize that when we first looked at camp Sarah was a mere 9 years old and we could not imagine she was actually ready to begin to manage independently at sleep away camp. Still, her enthusiasm bowled us over and we enrolled her for her first summer. That enrollment is proof positive that sometimes we make the best decisions while in a vacuum!
Each summer was a journey for all three of us – a journey that culminated each August with a cry for more. Sarah came home more poised and self-confident with each passing year. Thanks to the nurturing and encouragement she received from her fellow campers, counselors, and “the Brass” (as she refers to you, Scott, Phyllis, Deena, etc), she learned to savor her successes and move on from her shortcomings. Her patience and persistence flourished. Her self-sufficiency and her joy in the time she spent at camp grew. It grew far beyond what we could have imagined. She just completed an extraordinary Juniper summer and possesses a keen sense of self, strong ties to her bunkmates, and a maturity in which she should take pride. As each of her teachers and coaches comments to us not only of her scholastic ability but also her quiet leadership and sense of fairness, we are reminded of the lessons all of you have imparted these many summers. For this, and so much more, we wanted to thank you all. You have all played such a critical role in who she is and have served as great role models and navigators of those tween and early teen years.
I spoke to Myles tonight—or I spoke to someone who said hi mom…who did not cry….who likes camp,,,who is going to miss camp…. someone who was expecting color war and a fake out tonight and someone who told me whose bunk he wanted to be in next summer!!!!!
I cannot thank you enough!!!!!!!!
After you came to our house in September Myles was sure that Kenwood & Evergreen was the place for him. I wanted to look at other camps. We looked at one other camp and Myles said ‘No….I am going to Kenwood’….should I look at other camps I asked?—‘you can do what you want but I am going to Kenwood!!!!!’…….I of course stopped looking because we both knew that Kenwood & Evergreen was the place. ….of course we knew it for different reasons….for me…..I knew with you at the helm Myles would be safe in every way possible and…..well……He was and is and I will be forever grateful for what you have given to Myles and in turn to us!!!!!!
We chose K-E because you seem to focus on the importance of what’s inside oneself, not what’s on the outside. You emphasize kindness and caring and building self-esteem. Competition takes a back seat to your camp experience, and that what seems to be right for Michael.
K&E came so highly recommended and we have been happy campers ever since Lauren’s first day. It’s not a country club, it’s camp and it’s a camp family. We are thoroughly convinced that so much care, concern,love and energy all year long goes into making each summer wonderful. Every discussion I’ve had with camp people has convinced me that they know my child and they care about her happiness and success. It’s truly a family and, especially in Lauren’s case, she’s heartsick when she’s away from the family.
We chose Kenwood & Evergreen because of Scott & Jason. We liked that the majority of kids do not come from Long Island (we can say that because we are from Long Island). We liked that campers return year after year. The camp is a camp – not a fashion show – not a dating game – not a cut throat environment. It is how camp should be.
I chose it for its emphasis on kids having fun and feeling good. Not overly competitive but plenty of activity. I like the bunks traveling together in the Junior camp for its relationship building and I like the increased independence in Senior camp. Now I am happy Alex has a very special place he looks forward to going where he can totally be himself and be accepted. Thank you.
We were impressed that the bunk counselors follow the children throughout the day. The continuity really helps alleviate confrontation and promotes understanding of what the girls’ issues with one another may be.
We like Kenwood & Evergreen because of the small camper/counselor ratio. Our son seems to participate in activities that he doesn’t feel comfortable participating in during the school year.
Warm and unpretentious, your staff really cares about the campers. There has always appeared to be a general respect for others which is a value present in daily camp life.
Because of the quality of your staff, and the fact that you genuinely care about each child and you respect their individuality instead of wanting them to fit into your version of the ‘ideal camper
It’s small and everybody knows everybody. Nikki comes home feeling very empowered and feeling incredibly good about herself. It’s hard to teach that to a child but if they are in the right environment they feel that positive energy and hear positive reinforcement they carry that with them. Evergreen has a very quiet way of finding the positive in every person and situation.
My girls wait all year for summer. I think that the programming each year is very age appropriate and as they get older there are new activities. This seems to keep them very interested. I also was very impressed with the Nursing staff this year and felt extremely comfortable knowing that they were well cared for.
The long term commitment of the owners/staff and the allegiance that many counselors have to Kenwood/Evergreen. The setting is beautiful – off the beaten path for us New Yorkers anyway. It’s homey, low key and it’s got opportunities for all kinds of kids to achieve success and feel good about themselves. It’s a wonderful respite from the competitive rat race the kids endure at school.
The comraderie, positive attitude that is really felt throughout the camp. We love that the kids cheer each other on… and that this philosophy seems to be a way of life there. The return rate of counselors is admirable.
We know that campers feel more comfortable at Camp when they enjoy their meals. Come learn about our menus and why we serve our meals “family style”.

My photographs of government meetings are part of my long-term investigation of power begun in previous series on nuclear weapons, factories and corporate offices, and currently on homeland security training and preparation.
A common impulse in these projects is my quest as one individual to understand and illuminate seemingly overwhelming and abstract power systems. Although town council and community meetings are open to the public, the process of governance can still seem somewhat invisible and separate from the lives of ordinary people (as evidenced by the fact that many of the meetings I photographed were sparsely attended.)
These photographs emphasize the theatrical aspects of meetings: There is a "cast", a "set", an "audience" (sometimes) and a "program" (the agenda). Seating arrangements, clothing and body language all provide clues to local cultural traits and political dynamics. The subjects play dual roles as private individuals and (sometimes reluctant) public leaders. Power may be relative, but the mayor of a town of 200 has much in common with the President of the United States. We see ourselves reflected (either positively or negatively) in our leaders, exemplifying both the highest ideals and lowest depths of the human spirit. Our reactions to them help define our perceptions of our own place in society, as insiders or outsiders, haves or have-nots
This work was a departure from my earlier series both in presentation and compositional approach. I began with conventional photographic methods, but then digitally scanned and manipulated the images tonality and sharpness. By utilizing conventions such as eye-level-centered compositions and panoramic formats, I placed this work squarely in the traditions of historical portrait genres. The large-scale prints on canvas are stretched and varnished to further these references and probe the boundaries between photography and painting.
My photographic road trips were inspired by the traditions of Robert Frank and Walker Evans, but the methodology was decidedly twenty-first-century. Using a laptop computer, mapping software and a database of more than 15,000 communities in over thirty states, I planned my daily itineraries according to geography, population and meeting schedules. After driving several hundred back-road miles I pulled up to the town meeting hall and there had the privilege of seeing democracy in its purest form as farmers, teachers and insurance agents conducted the business of their community. In a time in which there is talk of exporting democracy it seems especially pertinent to look at the often imperfect and sometimes beautiful way in which we practice this form of government at home in America.

Take a seat, this is a long one.
Next month, marks 10 years in business for Auben. As we look towards a bright future, I thought I would take a minute to tell a little about our past and how we got here. There were several entities that smashed together to give birth to Auben Realty in the fall of 2009.
Sitting squarely in one of the greatest depressions in the history of the United States, I liked our chances. We were inexperienced, naïve and optimistic—all of the things you need to start a business.
Over the years, many things have changed but our ambition has never wavered. Even back in 2008, before Auben even existed, I was already looking international for our property acquisitions. We were a family run business with a global reach—an interesting combination.
I typed the word “plan” into my computer and 1627 results showed up. Further evidence that we had no idea what we were doing, so I personally had to be extremely flexible–so much so that someone once made a shirt for me that said I am flexible and it wasn’t for my ability to touch my knees.
But Auben is not about me and my knees. When working correctly, Auben is about a collective groundswell of energy that builds and builds until it becomes an engine of change–until we become changemakers.
As the energy builds, my job is to help us up our game and find a bigger field. I am working diligently to do this. However, there are several others who deserve the real credit for Auben. They are folks who don’t crave the limelight but deserve the recognition. Two are my family and one I have always thought of as a sister—we have had enough fights that surely we have to be related.
Auben would not be here without Natalie Walls, Audrey Schuetze and Bill Schuetze. Each one of them has worked relentlessly and selflessly to help Auben keep it’s doors opened and they all deserve our gratitude.
You will be hard-pressed to outwork these 3 people and I have images seared in my brain of my mom working at midnight reviewing handwritten time sheets, my father sitting in a windowless room calling back every single lead that called in and patiently listening before promising that I would weave bricks into gold.
The last person, Natalie Walls is Auben. She is one of the hardest working, most loyal human beings I have ever met. I love her and I am lucky to have met her. She embodies Auben’s underdog spirit and relentless push. She can be prickly like a cactus but there is so much love beneath those thorns. She kept me inline so many times it has been ridiculous. She has been the balance the organization needed to my optimism. And frankly we wouldn’t still be in business if I hadn’t met her. When I was trying to build spaceships, she was tracking nickels in our bank account.
I have been very fortunate in my life for many reasons. But one of the biggest reasons I have been successful is that my parents wanted nothing more than improvement for their children and they have spent a lifetime investing in my knowledge, education and experience. It has truly been a gift and I am fortunate beyond belief. With this fortune comes an obligation to pay it forward and the promise that I make to all of you is that I will try with all my might. I have made a lot of mistakes and will make plenty more but my daughter’s book bag (which she created on her own) tells me we are on the right path
“I am a Changemaker—You can be one too”—Margot Schuetze
Thanks for being apart of this journey and making this a truly special organization,

This is something I have been wanting to do for awhile and thought the New Year was a perfect time to reenergize TracyAstroSalon.
One of the links I added was Libra Seeking Balance (love that blog title).
Diane Lang is the astrologer behind LibraSeeking Balance. I have been reading it for sometime and have seen some very thoughtful posts by Ms Lang.
Interestingly yesterday I was thinking about the 113th congress and wondering if it was going to be any different than the 112th congress? I had not done a chart for this congress but I did have a thought go through me that Washington is all about relationships and it has been in crises for awhile. I actually heard Bob Woodward, describe the energy of Washington now as a permanent "Divorce Court". The endless squabbles.
As I heard him say that I thought of Saturn who wrapped up two and half years in Libra the sign of relationships last fall. That was one tough place for Saturn to travel and Washington paid the price for sure. But now Saturn is in Scorpio and it is all about Debt and Money and Banks and Laws and Crime ...and well, I think you can see how that is playing out already. Remember Saturn only moved into Scorpio in October.
So, I was thinking about all of that....when I happened to find this article today by Diane. Give it a read I think you will find it thoughtful.
Observations: Saturn in Libra vs. Saturn in Scorpio
One of the most important changes in the sky from 2012 to 2013 is Saturn finally leaving Libra and moving into Scorpio where it is in mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn. Libra and Capricorn have an adversarial relationship and even though Saturn is exalted in Libra, it didn’t seem to diminish the bickering.
It is easy to forget peace loving Libra is also noted for enjoying a good debate and for changing sides in mid-debate just to keep the ideas flowing. When my Libra Sun mom was growing up, she and her Capricorn sister bickered constantly. She referred to their interactions as part of their “all day argument”. This didn’t bother either of them and they always spoke of each other with respect and appreciation. My mom had much the same pattern with my Cancer sun father, and here again, it bothered me with my sensitive Libra Moon conjunct Neptune more than it did them. Apparently that was simply the way they communicated.
When Saturn entered Libra I thought we would see more compromise by far than we did. It turned out the stressful aspects with Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn brought out the argumentative side of Libra rather than the peacemaker. By the time Saturn left Libra for Scorpio, the divisions and polarizations existing both personally and in the collective were deeper than ever, sad to say. Cardinal signs are far better at starting the arguments rather than ending them and I know plenty of people who suffered greatly due to all the acrimonious exchanges of the Saturn in Libra years.
Now Saturn has entered fixed, watery Scorpio and consequently is far less overtly contentious. It is in a harmonious sextile and mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn rather than an abrasive square. The move from an air sign to a water sign also meant going from the gut rather than the intellect. Probably one of the more frustrating aspects of the shift into Scorpio is the serious negotiating will probably take place out of the spotlight, behind closed doors. Scorpio does like to keep everyone in the dark until they have something definitive to offer.
Most astrologers seem to agree as long as Uranus is squaring Pluto (the last exact square is 15 March 2015), the intense sense of polarization will continue. However now that Saturn is working closely with Pluto instead of seeking to thwart him, there is a good possibility progress is in the works to help resolve the worst problems . . . whether the general public knows it or not. One thing I’m sure of is those solutions will be extremely pragmatic and likely to be unpalatable to the idealists among us.
Something else to consider is the need to get in touch with our feeling nature now Saturn is in a water sign. In July 2013 Jupiter will also enter watery Cancer, making this an even greater priority. We will need emotional intelligencethen, and in case you are unfamiliar with the term here is a definition:
“Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself, of others, and of groups.”
Myself, I’m very, very glad to have Saturn in Scorpio rather than Libra! It will be interesting to observe the differences going forward.

Ideally after looking at a few of these facts you all will probably be a lot more conscious of what supplies is often recycled and just how massive of the difference recycling can make. Recycling has truly been introduced towards the forefront of our minds in recent years http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … rt-Jersey/ , but did you understand that it has been a widespread practice for most of human background? You will find historians who will trace recycling back again to as far as 400 B.C. In reality, for the duration of hard intervals when sources had been scarce, archeologists have identified that trash dumps show much less household waste, pointing towards the fact that individuals have been discovering methods to reuse some of their items. Greater would be to click on here or pay a visit to our formal website to understand more about Random Facts.
Prior to the economic instances, there is certainly evidence pointing towards the collection of scrap metals which include bronze and getting melted down for reuse. A different intriguing reality http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … rs-Jersey/ , is that in Britain it was standard follow to gather ash from wooden and coal fires to ensure that they may very well be put to use in the creating of bricks. When the industrial age came, recycling certainly began to growth. Most manufacturing organizations wanted to utilize scrap metals because it was much less expensive than virgin ores and metals. A few of the most significant purchasers of scrap metallic had been the railroad, steel, and car firms. Throughout the planet wars, recycling was crucial due to the lack of sources quickly offered. Most countries' governments encouraged their citizens to donate metals and materials http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … rt-Jersey/ , as being a matter of patriotic importance. Lastly, the most current increase in recycling's history arrived within the seventies when power fees started to rise. One interesting fact that spurred the recycling motion is the fact that employing recycled aluminum uses only 5% of the power necessary to make a item from virgin aluminum. Mix that with some of the amazing facts beneath and you'll easily see how that can add up.
Right here are some eye-opening facts about the impact recycling might have.
Exciting Truth - Aluminum cans could be recycled over and more than again, there is certainly no limit!
Exciting Truth - Every year, we use over eighty billion aluminum cans.
Fun Fact - If each of the newspapers inside the planet were recycled, we could conserve about 250 million trees a yr.
Cool Reality - The US discards enough aluminum to rebuild the US commercial air fleet 4 times over.
Random Facts- aluminum can which can be thrown absent http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … ry-Jersey/ , will still be aluminum can in 500 years.
Intriguing Reality - To make the Sunday newspaper throughout the planet five hundred,000 trees should be cut down.
Exciting Truth - Recycling just one operate in the Ny Occasions Sunday version would conserve 75,000 trees.
Random Facts- The average home throws away 13,000 independent pieces of paper annually. Most is packaging and unsolicited mail.
Any guy who’s honest with himself knows that on occasion, he reeks of a male organ odor that is both strong and unpleasant. It’s also well known that many women rank manhood odor high on their list of objectionable traits http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … en-Jersey/ , especially as it may indicate that the owner cares far too little about his male organ health. But is it possible that intimate odor is not always a turn-off? And if so, should a guy simply let his manhood reek instead of going to the trouble of keeping it well washed?
Before this goes further, it’s essential to acknowledge a simple truth: there are different strokes for different folks. What is a turn-off for one woman is a hotly-desired turn-on for another and vice versa. That’s why there’s both chocolate and vanilla (and dozens of other flavors), and why different women could react in unique ways to the same kind and degree of manhood odor on the same man at the same time.
Why would it be appealing?
The next thing to do is to answer the question, “Why would any woman find a stinky manhood attractive?” Again leaving aside personal preferences http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … er-Jersey/ , there’s a very simple answer, and it’s one that has received a lot of play online in recent years: that old devil, the pheromone.
What are pheromones?
For anyone who has been living under a rock for the past couple of decades, pheromones are sensual hormones known to produce a distinctive scent. Lots of movies, TV shows http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … en-Jersey/ , books and comic books have gotten a lot of mileage out of dropping pheromones into a plot for some easy laughs andor fan-service sensual scenes. But while pheromone use in pop culture vastly oversimplifies things, it does get the basic gist straight: Pheromones are strong sensual stimuli, albeit one which typically causes an unconscious excitement in a potential partner.
Pheromones are something that men (and women, for that matter) create simply as a matter of course. Their production tends to be more active in times of interest in sensual activity – not surprisingly. And in men, the pheromones most typically are released through sweat. (That’s one reason why hot http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … no-Jersey/ , sweaty coupling can be especially intense.)
Sweat it out
So basically, all a guy needs to do to get a woman interested in him is work up a sweat, especially when he’s ready for some action, right? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
It turns out that not all sensual hormone-drenched sweat is equal. Essentially http://www.panthersrookiestore.com/Pant … er-Jersey/ , pheromone-laced sweat that is fresh is appealing; pheromone-laced sweat that is old is repulsive. That fresh hormone – called androstenal – is the kind that appears as a couple is .

The Impact of Individual Teachers on Student Achievement: Evidence from Panel Data
Adobe Acrobat PDF
Teacher quality is widely believed to be important for education, depsite substantial but inconsistent evidence that teachers' credentials matter for student achievement. To accurately measure variation in achievement due to teachers' characteristics—both observable and unobservable—it is essential to identify teacher fixed effects while controlling for fixed student characteristics and classroom specific variables. I find large and statistically siginificant differences among teachers: moving up one standard deviation in the teacher fixed effect distribution raises both reading and math test scores by approximately .1 standard deviations on a nationally standardized scale. In addition, teaching experience has statistically significant positive effects on reading test scores, controlling for fixed teacher quality.

St. Anne Grandmother of Jesus The Chapel of St Louie at Île Saint-Louis, Paris
There is category of iconic statues in France called Les Bonne Mere, The Good Mothers. These particular statues caught my eye because they looked like they came from the Fairy Realm finding their way into the backdoor of the Catholic Church. Maybe it was the Spirit of the Wood coming through. The way they were carved gave them that expression of a Good Fairy Godmother. Maybe it was the enchantment of the old European forest, the places where fairytales were born, pixies played and abandoned castles still stood over grown by climbing ivy, littered with wildflowers and sweet smelling herbs that escaped their garden long ago.
But when I came across Les Bonne Mere it stirred something deep in my Heart of Magic. That goodness that is still in the world. A place where prayers are very close to good wishes which rise on the Wings of Angels and are freely distributed to those who were open to such Graces.
Bonne Mere at Notre Dame Marthuret, Rion
The Good Mothers were different then other iconic art you might find in the Church of France. Some maybe are holding a distaff for spinning flax that was held out like a magic wand rather then the scepter of the Queen of Heaven. You might remember Flax Spinning was something you could find in fairytales. Sleeping Beauty’s finger was pricked on a spinning wheel, or the task of the princess having to turn straw into gold. A flax distaff was a common household item of the day . It was used for holding the flax in place as a woman would spin it into thread. Little pieces of flax often were given as an offering to leave at Sacred Caves, Springs and Wells dedicated to the Goddess.
Notre Dame Les Ange in Pignans
Notre Dame Les Ange our Lady of the Angels is found in the high mountains of Provence. The interesting thing about visiting this Sacred Sites was before we went into the church there was a small plaques outside that said; Sainte Nymphe was martyred on this very spot. The plaque went on to say that St Nymphe had been a companion of Mary Magdalene. Nymphe comes from the root word Nymph a fairy spirit of the woods. But on further investigation, St Nympha was supposed to be a Virgin from Palermo, Sicily. She fled to Northern Italy after an invasion from the Goths in the 5th century and died in Tuscany.
This Church also had megalith standing stone that was underneath the main altar of the chapel. There are older legends of Italy and France that speak of the Goddess walking with a standing stone as her spindle and where they dropped is where the standing stones are today.
One of my favorite chapels I visited in France was in a small village that sold wild chestnut ice cream. The village of Collobrieres has a little chapel. When you walk inside, it is like entering the center of a wild flower. The walls were painted like the stamens of flowers. The Virgin at the altar look more like a Fairy Queen of the fields then the Virgin Mary. The colors of the church were pale like delicate petals of a flowers opening. It is one of my most memorial place I visited in Provence. The door of the church was wide open welcoming the summer breeze that invisibly commune with the Holy Mother.
Notre Dame of Laghet
The smiling Notre Dame of Laghet I would consider La Bonne Mere. She is found in the crypt of the cathedral. When I sat in front of her I had the most wonderful vision. Wildflowers of the field came up through the ground bearing the Medieval names of Our Lady Flowers
bonette de pretre “Priest hat” monkshood
Rose Notre Dame ” Our Lady’s Rose” Althea rose
bonne femme, “Good Woman” columbine
sabots de Notre Dame “Our Lady’s Shoes” bird foot trefoil
succor de la Virge “Marie Virgin Mary’s Help” Buttercup
Then a clematis vine climbed through the earth and intwined itself around my legs. This vine was known as chevaux de la Virgin “The Hair of the Virgin”. One flower after another came into my minds eye and when the vision was all over “I heard paint me with all my flowers”. And when I returned home I did.
There was a tradition between the 12th and 15th centuries that dedicated over 600 flowers to the Virgin Mary. This was a time when most people did not know how to read. They work close to the Earth growing their food. Since they could not read the written word the stories of Christ and Mary were woven into the legends of flowers. I had studied this tradition for several years since I was working with gardening and wildcrafting herbs. One spring day in the California hills during a time when 50 or more different types of wildflowers were in bloom, I had a mega expereince. I knew many of the names of the flowers dedicated to Mary and I searched through my mind each flowers name, Mary’s eyes chicory, Mary needles, cranesbill, Lady’s fern maiden hair fern, Lady’s bedstraw cleavers, Our Ladies Candle mullein. My mind raced through naming one flower after another. All of a sudden the entire field of flowers was staring back at me and it was the very body of the Virgin Mary. What a moment ! She was in everything the whole Earth was alive and she was a part of all of it.
Note: The Nature of archetypes is that they speak differently to each person because we all have different doorways of experiences we need to walk through. This is just my doorway and how it is expressed through me.

Alright, I've always been fascinated by the two World Wars. The events leading up to the wars, the players involved, the motivations and, in this case, the costuming. This image was a costume study of a Canadian soldier, circa WWI. Now, I did take a few liberties -- the jacket is based on an Australian soldiers, and the collar is based on a Russian. What fascinated me most when reading up on the Wars was that soldiers had to carry upwards of 40 kilos worth of equipment when running into battle -- thus, the enormous backpack.
I would like to include some more smoke. As well, perhaps some phantoms chasing our good soldier through the graveyard. Regardless, enjoy!

Over at Online Tech Tips, I wrote a post on how to use Bootvis to speed up the boot time on your Windows XP or Vista PC. It’s a good tool for optimizing the Windows boot up process for best performance.
The only problem with Bootvis is that it is no longer supported by Microsoft and really won’t work with Windows Vista at all. Luckily, you can analyze the boot up process using a different tool called the Windows Performance Toolkit.
The Performance Toolkit contains three performance analysis tools designed for measuring and analyzing system and application performance on Windows Vista specifically. This tool is really only meant for IT professionals, but if you are comfortable with the command line, give it a shot.
xperf – The trace capture tool that can be used to filter through the captured trace.
xperfview – The visualization tool to view the captured trace. It is also called the Performance Analyzer.
xbootmgr – The boot trace capture tool used to capture everything during the boot up process.
Using these tools, you can capture and analyze a wide array of performance problems such as boot issues, start up times, DPCs and ISRs, application resource usage, and system responsiveness.
The reason why you can get so much detailed information about the boot up process using these tools is because they are built using the Event Tracing for Windows infrastructure.
Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) is what allows programs and the Windows OS generate events. You normally see all of these events in the Event Viewer under Administration Tools. These tools capture all of these events and save them as files called “traces”.
Events that can be captured that provide a great deal of information include registry operations, hard faults, process and thread creation, context switches, interrupts, and lots more.
You can capture a new boot trace using the following command line:
xbootmgr –trace rebootCycle –noPrepReboot
This command will automatically reboot the compute and start the trace. Note that the trace will be outputted to the current directory while at the command prompt. For a more detailed trace, use the following command below:
xbootmgr -trace boot -noPrepReboot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\OUTPUT
This command has a couple of more trace flags which also capture driver events and power management events. Note that you can also use this command to trace not only the Windows boot, but also the the shutdown, standby, or hibernate cycles.
If you want to see all the possible trace flags you can use with xbootmgr and all of the other parameters, check out the On/Off Transition Performance Analyzer document by Microsoft.
Now in order to view the trace file, run the xperfview program. This is the visual analyzer that will allow you to visually see the entire boot process.
Just browse for the .ETL file (trace file) that was generated using the xbootmgr command. Drill down into each of the sections and if you see anything out of the ordinary, then continue until you figure out what the cause of the slow boot up or shutdown is.
Note that there can be many different reasons for a slow boot up process, so make sure to check these factors also:
- Disable the network connection and reboot your computer to see if network timeouts or domain logon are causing the slow boot time
- Disable or unplug any USB and Bluetooth devices to rule out external devices causing long boot times
- Check Problem Reports and Solutions center in Windows Vista to make sure no software or startup programs are the problem
- Check the Event Viewer to make sure there are no events created immediately after a reboot
Hopefully these tools will help you figure out why your computer is booting up slowly, shutting down slowly, or having problems with Standby and Hibernate. Enjoy!

I'm really happy for my friend Scott Stratten, who just announced pre-orders for his latest book, The Book of Business Awesome. Besides the fact that Scott is a very engaging author, and the "hook" for this book is very clever (it actually flips over to become a second book, detailing how to be very not awesome) he's done me the honor of asking me to contribute a passage or two about research, science and data. I've read the book--and it's a succinct, clever and most of all perceptive look at some best practices for engaging customers. This is Scott's second book, and I continue to marvel at his ability to tell a story--and it's stories that inspire change. The fact that he asked me to contribute means there is some cod liver oil in the book, but that's Scott's gift--you'll enjoy the book so much that you'll forget it's also good for you, at least until you get to the end and start putting into practice the things Scott talks about.
Anyway, I'm really proud of Scott's work here, and really pleased to be a part of it. He has some super pre-release promos here which, true to the spirit of the book, are actually awesome. And, I have no vested interest in promoting this other than the fact that Scott is a good man and the book is fantastic. Go get yourself one.

New Essential Infrastructure
Bramford to Twinstead connection project
The proposed Bramford to Twinstead transmission connection is a new 400,000 volt electricity connection between Bramford substation, west of Ipswich in Suffolk and Twinstead, south of Sudbury in Essex.
We need to build this new connection to upgrade the electricity transmission network – the ‘national grid’ - in East Anglia so we can connect a number of new power generators, including King’s Lynn gas-fired power station, Sizewell C nuclear power station and East Anglia Offshore Wind.
We have been consulting local people since October 2009 and in July 2011 we announced our preferred route corridor – a width of land within which we could build the electricity connection. This corridor runs alongside an existing 400,000 volt overhead line between Bramford and Twinstead Tee. Our selected option means that we could take down the UK Power Networks’ 132,000 volt overhead line running from Burstall Bridge to Twinstead Tee. We will need to make sure local electricity supplies can be maintained and to do this, we need to build a new substation.
A quarter of the new connection would be buried below ground using underground cables, through the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and also through the Stour Valley. Together, these two underground cable sections will run for about eight kilometres.
Changes to generation projects in the East Anglia area mean that the new Bramford to Twinstead connection does not need to be in place as early as originally expected. In November 2013 the project was therefore temporarily put on hold.
We will continue to liaise with the generators and will work closely with them to ensure the new connection is there when it is needed.
We will update everyone on the project during the coming months and years.

Hallowe’en is coming and it brings shorter evenings, cosy fires, crisp leaves underfoot, frosty mornings, fancy dress, carved pumpkins (we’ve moved on from the turnips we used to carve), trick or treat and of course, barm brack.

The weather has been incredibly hot here in Ireland – no rain for 16 days is almost unheard of. Farmers on dry land (who have been the envy of the rest of us for many years) are finding that what grass they had is just burning off and most are feeding the first cut of silage (which shouldn’t have been touched until next winter) and meal to cows and perhaps silage or hay to the rest of the stock. ?The [...]

iPad Putting Pressure on Windows and Android Tablet Competitors, Says Strategy Analytics
Despite the worldwide tablet market declining in shipments for 14 consecutive quarters, the iPad is seeing growth, and regaining market share over its competitors, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.
Earlier this week, Apple reported that it sold 11.55 million iPads in the second quarter of 2018, spanning April 1 through June 30. Those sales gave Apple a 28.2 percent share of the worldwide tablet market in the second quarter, its highest in that period since 2013, according to Strategy Analytics.
Apple's second quarter share of the worldwide tablet market based on historical data from the research firm:
- 2012: 47.2%
- 2013: 28.3%
- 2014: 25.3%
- 2015: 21.5%
- 2016: 21.3%
- 2017: 26.1%
- 2018: 28.2%
Apple's market share was boosted by the launch of a new lower-cost iPad in late March, shortly prior to the educational buying season, and just days before the second quarter. The tablet, starting at $329, lowered the iPad's average selling price to $410 last quarter, down from $434 in the year-ago period.
Apple's presence in both the lower-priced market, with the iPad, and higher-end market, with the iPad Pro, is putting pressure on its competitors like Microsoft and Samsung, according to Strategy Analytics.
Chirag Upadhyay, Senior Research Analyst at Strategy Analytics:
Apple is using its market size and brand power to put pressure on its Windows and Android competitors. By lowering prices and adding more functionality during every product cycle for the last year, Apple has regained several points of market share and still maintaining a strong ASP due to its Pro and standard iPad mix. Android vendors, in particular, should be very concerned with how much revenue they are losing to Apple in 2018.
Android shipments fell to 23.6 million units worldwide in the second quarter, down 10 percent from 26.4 million in the year-ago quarter, according to Strategy Analytics. Likewise, Windows shipments fell two percent to 5.8 million units in the second quarter, from 5.9 million a year earlier, the research firm said.
Nevertheless, Microsoft's shipments of the Surface Pro and Surface Book 2 reached over one million in the second quarter, and could reap even better results in the current quarter with the release of the Surface Go, according to Eric Smith, Director of Connected Computing at Strategy Analytics.
Surface Go launches today with a base price of $399, although with a Type Cover keyboard, the price jumps to $498.
For now, though, the iPad easily remains the world's most popular tablet, in a market where many Android vendors are losing share and revenue due to falling prices and a perceived lack of innovation.

Kerylee Barac is today’s Anna Alderson Nominee!
Where to begin, I have filled in as Kerylee's senior on a few occasions now, she is one of the most efficient people I have had the opportunity to work alongside.
I have been there when she has had some horrible personal stuff going on in her life but has come to work with integrity and put on a happy face for our clients and been welcoming to them and staff for a chat and guidance. on a few occasions when a client has been angry and we in the house have exhausted our options, she is always a phone call away she will talk to the client and staff and shows respect by listening to what all has to say.
I have always been able to ask Kerylee how to do something I'm not sure of, she will always talk me threw it if she is not physically able to show me, nothing is too much. And with all the changes that are always happening at Rise with forms and paperwork, budgets, plans and all this horrible Covid going on, we know she most definitely shows optimism every day in everything that she dose.
Many people come to Kerylee for help and guidance and that's because she is one of the best at what she does, I have never seen myself as a teacher but I now too have people ask me how to do things because they know that I learnt from Kerylee and they are right she has helped me to upskill and better myself not only for me but for Rise and the people we all support.

Opens: Friday 7/29
Us Rating: **1/2
Several interwoven stories cross in this mildly funny ensemble comedy. Longtime couple Cal (Steve Carell) and Emily (Julianne Moore) split up when she blurts out on date night that she wants a divorce. The next day, Cal meets man-whore Jacob (Ryan Gosling), who schools the older guy in picking up chicks, despite recently striking out with law student Hannah (Emma Stone). As the dumped and rudderless dad, Carell charms in his sad-sack way, but he doesn't generate much connection with Moore (whose character isn't given enough depth). And the many cheesy, humorless singles'-bar scenes seem stilted. On the plus side, the younger couple feel more engaging. A ripped Gosling scores high marks for his smartly dressed but lonely bachelor, who ends up learning love lessons from Cal. And as the girl who finally gets Jacob interested in monogamy, the warm, appealing Stone playfully heats up their love scenes. But overall, it's a little too much stupid humor -- such as a slapstick climactic bare-knuckle fight -- and not enough crazy laughter.

Holy shit!!!!! Have you seen this? NK Jemisin writing a new Green Lantern, Sojourner “Jo” Mullein, with art by Jamal Campbell.
It is so pretty you guys!!!!! The art is incredible, and the writing is great, because of course it is!!!
Seriously, you have to go check this out.
Jo is from New York, and has become a Green Lantern. Issue one starts in media res, with a murder on a world at the outer limits of the Green Lanterns’ jurisdiction, in a society that hasn’t seen a murder in about 500 years. They have lost the ability to cope with it, don’t know how to investigate it, and need help. The three races that make up that world have summoned a Lantern, because they knew something was going to happen and they knew they wouldn’t be able to cope with it on their own.
It is so good, and so gorgeous. The art is AMAZING!!!
I don’t want to say much more, because spoilers, but…
It’s so beautiful, you guys!!!
Ok, I will try to get Geek Girl Con pictures uploaded by the end of the week. Everyone have a good night.

Banks just aren’t making the same profits they used to says the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission.
“The rising trend in noncurrent loans indicates that write-offs and loss provisions will likely remain high for the near future,” FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair said in the FDIC’s Quarterly Banking Profile.
She added, “We’ll also need to keep a close eye as we’ve been doing for a number of months on loan portfolios other than housing, including commercial real estate, credit cards, and small business. All of these are showing signs of stress as housing market weakness continues.”
In case you were wondering, this is why your credit card interest rate suddenly jumped and you just paid $3 at an ATM.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend…mine was great! So much sewing…too much maybe…my back is complaining a bit! Although that doesn’t really have anything to do with the sewing but the position I put myself in when I iron! No wonder I hate that part so much.
Anyway, I’ve just been trawling the web for some inspiration on strip quilts. I love them and have not tried on yet. I’ve always been afraid of making it all skewed and maybe ending up with something completely lopsided and horrible…and I just can’t bear to cut into my beloved fabrics then…but I saw some lovely tutorials which make me think, I might just give it a go soon. Check out this site for a ‘quilt as you go’ tutorial and definitely have a look at filminthefridge for the loveliest strip quilts ever!!! Those will make you want to start immediately, I promise!
Anyhow, let me know if you have thought of making strip quilts as well. Of course, if you’ve already made one and have posted a pic somewhere, send me a link and I will definitely check it out. Can’t wait to see some more lovely examples!

I've been very happy with my Lumia 920 but for some reason the past couple of days it has died within 8 hours of being pulled off the charger!
I have not installed any new apps and I barely use the phone during the workday. It previously would still be at around 70% when I would get home from work but now it won't even last a 9 hour workday.
I checked the background apps and I only have Facebook, Weather, and Nokia City Lens on. This has been the same since I got the phone.
The only thing I noticed is that I was listening to some Nokia Music the other day so when I play with the volume control the last song I paused in is still listed. Is that normal?
Aside from that I can't think of why my battery life has started to stink. I know this question has been asked 1 million times but any suggestions?
- 02-05-2013, 07:37 PM #2
charge it to 100% leave overnight when you sleep, so what it is. If it is under 95%, return the phone.
Closeout anything running by pressing on the back button, turn off bluetooh, nfc, leave your typical background tasks on. See what happens.
- 02-05-2013, 08:33 PM #4
Out of curiosity around lunch I looked at the battery in the "settings" and it still showed 97%. So just between 12pm-6pm it went down to 0%.
Thank you both for your responses!

so it seems that your battery counter might be broken? if that 0% shutoff and restart with 30% thing persist, try to do a hard reset. If it does fix, try to flash it, but remember to do backup in the setting menu. If it still does the same thing then you should probably ask for a replacement, soon, before its too late.
- 02-06-2013, 09:41 AM #7
Anytime you start getting weird battery problems try a soft reset. That should clear out any processes that are hung. The only other thing to look for is signal strength. Could be provider is doing some work on towers and signal is weak causing phone to boost power to antennae. Also, like posted earlier. Charge phone fully and perform hard reset if problem persists. Should recalibrate battery monitor.
- 02-06-2013, 03:16 PM #8
In any case I only have a couple of hours left in the work day and I'm still at 83% even though I've been using the phone more today than I did the past couple of days. Very strange but encouraging so far. I'll report back as the day goes on.
- 02-06-2013, 10:29 PM #9
Problem solved...I hope!
Restarting the phone must have fixed it. It's been 14 hours since my last charge and I've changed nothing since yesterday yet right now I sit at 63% power.
So strange how this happens but I'm glad it doesn't appear to be hardware related.
Thank you everyone for the help!

I have a feeling that some apps or combinations thereof overwork whatever hardware is sitting in the top-right corner of the phone and that once it reaches a certain point, it doesn't stop over-working until the phone has been shut-off even though you may have closed all relevant apps. I noticed this when in the cold - phone got hot running a game, closed game, heat abated but didn't go away (it was easier to tell it was still too warm because of how cool the room was), the battery began draining extremely fast once and after the phone initially got hot. Battery drain continued after full charge and heat remained. Shut phone off, heat disappeared, powered it back on, battery drain went down considerably and the heat stayed away - until I started playing a game for about 20 minutes or so, then the same cycle started all over again. Possibly a hardware issue, may never get fixed, but restartig your phone whenever the drain gets bad seems likely to solve the problem - hope this helped.
- 02-07-2013, 09:09 AM #11
Its just a process getting hung up from OS or from app. Soft reset will stop all processes without question. Its software, not hardware. Believe me, I hate 920 and can't wait to be rid of it, but it isn't a hardware issue. Try a factory reset and reload your apps. Fixed mine. Some games are going to make phone run hot no matter what you do.

That was a complicated way of saying:
"Open all installed applications one by one and close them by pressing the back button. Some might be waiting for your input[.] Open those too and close them systematically".
Good idea. I have occasionally battery drain that could be related to your proposed solution. I've found that a power cycle clears up the issue. Next time I'll try your idea.

Dormir dans un monument emblématique de Paris : voici l’expérience inédite que vous propose l’hôtel Design Secret de Paris. I used to be in a position to journey to four cities in 3 totally different European international locations for under $400 by utilizing , a site that permits you select a neighborhood who will allow you to use his/her coach, bed, or extra room for a night or up to a week.
With its uncommon design, terrace by the ocean, billiards room and DJ, the Blue Gin is a venue it’s a must to visit not less than once when in Monaco. By the best way: The friendly former proprietors of the St. Martin, the two Swiss fellows, Jose Gruber and Markus Held, bought to considered one of their staff, and have opened a furniture studio, Artwork + Objects,” right down the road.
Indian individuals are extraordinarily pleasant and hospitable although and the one time I felt overwhelmed was when individuals were attempting to promote me stuff or beg which can really feel extremely harassing and aggressive. Regardless that Cedar Pointe is in Sandusky, Ohio, we decided to stop on the Nice Wolf Lodge and hang out at the water park and pool for a couple of days.
The three-kilometer-lengthy, sacred cave known as Gupteswar Gupha is located 2 kilometers from Pokhara airport on the Siddhartha Highway, heading southwest from the town. Presently, Panglao Island is being developed and the federal government has plans to build an airport to additional increase the island’s tourism.
Simply acquired back from Memphis and LOVED it. We stayed at the Hampton and did not have an excellent experience there. The Dolphin Cove Nature Path is an easy to average stage nature path with pleasant snakes, birds, and other exotic animals. Three-star and Quality Lodges: If you want a very good keep in a top quality resort, you may positively discover a lot of this sort all over Paris.

Recently, I was presented with a glorious gift! A new friend is allowing me to borrow a whole box of various microfilms for Russell County! I decided to begin with the Marriage Bonds Books. I began by using FTM to make a list of all married individuals along with the marriage dates, if known.
I then transferred those names into an Excel file with columns for Males, Marriage Date, County and Females. I wanted to be able to sort by chronological order of marriage date, or alphabetically by men or women. Then, because I was missing some marriage dates, I added a column for birth dates so that I could make an estimate of marriage dates – guessing men were married around age 20.
I printed 3 versions of the list – Chronologically by marriage date, alphabetical men, and alphabetical women. I took the lists to the library with the microfilm and began by looking for the men’s names in the indexes (which I discovered are pretty inaccurate). I looked for permission slips, bonds and certificates for every couple on my list. Some were easy to find. Some were surprisingly different from the dates I had in my database. And some were like finding Easter Eggs. I discovered some middle names and maiden names that I didn’t have before. I was able to find just about all of the ones I was looking for. I also found potential records for names that I had approximate birth dates based on census records that “dropped out of site” once they moved away from home. More clues to follow up on! The ones that I couldn’t find will be first on my list for surrounding counties. (After I look just one more time….)
I’m now in the process of entering/correcting dates along with sources into my Family Tree Maker, Ancestry, Groups Sheets and Notes. I don’t know what I’d do if I had trees in several internet sites to update! As I am updating group sheets, I’m seeing additional names that didn’t show up in my original FTM report because I didn’t have a spouse listed, but I can add those names to look for potential matches.
I’m also happy that I have the beginnings of an Excel database with all of my Russell County names that I can add too. I did end up adding a column for notes so that I could indicate if a record was a POSSIBLE match or if I came across a clue to follow up on. I can add death dates and burial locations so that I can sort based on that information as well. I like the idea of sorting males based on birth dates so that I’ll know when they turned 21 and should start appearing in tax lists. When men or women are sorted alphabetically, it keeps family groups together as well so that I can look for other patterns. When visiting cemeteries, I can sort so that all names from the same cemetery are together.
The only drawback that I can see to this “batch researching” is that I have a feeling that I’m missing clues by not taking the time to work on one specific family at a time. I’ll have to be sure that as I put this information into each set of notes, that I’m thinking through what I’m reading and what the next step would be. All questions or trains of thought should be writing into my Research Log as I go along.

I spent the weekend with the ladies of the Central Pennsylvania Basket Weavers Guild at their annual spring retreat. It was a fun time of weaving, talking and enjoying each others company.
The weaving workshops were lead by Pam Talsky. She brought hand harvested Alaskan yellow and western red cedar bark from Thorne Bay Alaska for weaving a choice of baskets. www/pambasletry.com
Friday evening I made 2 bracelets from Alaskan yellow cedar.
Four pieces of cedar were braided around a flat oval reed circle form to create a design both inside and out .
Saturday's basket began with a twill base of western red cedar. The sides combined a pattern of purple tortoise shell cane and a cross stitch weaving pattern of purple waxed linen. The top of the basket was finished with a Haida seed twining pattern with yellow cedar. A small accent of beads was added to the front of the basket.
Sunday, April 5, 2015
The weaving is over a glass cylinder 10 1/2" high and 3" in diameter. Using a purple dyed cane weaver and black dyed cane spokes inserted into a black walnut base I followed a 1/2/3 twill pattern. I wove over 1, under 2, over 3, under 1, over 2, and under 3 from the beginning of the base to the top of the cylinder. The weaving is topped with a black walnut turned rim.
I followed a pattern designed by basketweaver Annette Kraayeveld (www.prairiewoodbasketry.com)

Posted by Simon West on Saturday, May 25, 2019 Under: Document Delivery Service
There are many reasons why someone might want a courier service to transport and hand-deliver legal documents. One would be that they need the documents to get their destination more quickly than the postal service or one of the big shippers like UPS could handle. If it needs to be there faster than overnight, then often a courier service is your only option. Another reason could be for the added security that the Chicago courier service provides over these other services. But just what added security measures do couriers put in place when handling sensitive documents?
One of the most important security measures is restricting the number of hands that the documents pass through en route to their destination. If you were sending legal documents via the postal service, even if they were sent via registered mail, they would still pass through scores of different people's hands before they were delivered. Many Chicago courier services offer a service where one person is assigned to protect and transport the document, until they put it into the recipient's hands.
If your purpose in sending the documents is to have the recipient sign them, you can usually find a Chicago delivery service that will provide the additional service of acting as a witness to the signing of the documents, and then bringing them back and hand-delivering them to you. In this case, there are literally only 3 sets of hands that touch the documents: Yours, the driver's, and the person signing them. This greatly reduces the possibility for things to go awry. And in the unlikely circumstance that the documents did go missing, there would be a clear chain of custody that would show exactly where they had been.
When you choose to only do business with a Chicago courier service that has a hand-delivery service option for shipping important legal documents, you are ensuring that you avoid the kinds of hassles, finger-pointing, and litigation that can arise when documents get lost, compromised, or fall into the wrong hands. In addition, if the documents are a matter of your businesses life or death, you can often find a courier company that can take your documents via helicopter, and then return them to you the same way. In this way, you can sometimes get your documents across the city, signed, and back to you within minutes. This is truly the safest way to get your documents from point A to point B and back again.

In March, the Urban Land Institute Cleveland and the City of Cleveland will present a virtual symposium, Building a 21st Century City: The Future is Now!. The Symposium will focus on how Cleveland can embrace advances in technology, mobility, and economic inclusiveness to result in a more competitive and smarter city, ready for the changing technology of the 21st century.
New Jersey has emerged as one of the most innovative and technologically engaged states in the nation. In 2018, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy appointed Beth S. Noveck as the state’s first Chief Innovation Officer, responsible for making government services more responsive and jumpstarting its innovation economy.
Noveck directs the Governance Lab (The GovLab) and its MacArthur Research Network on Opening Governance. At the GovLab, she directs better governance programs, including work with public institutions on public engagement in lawmaking (CrowdLaw), expert-sourcing innovative solutions to hard problems (Smarter Crowdsourcing), and co-creation between cities and citizens (City Challenges). She also coaches "public entrepreneurs," working with passionate individuals to take their public interest projects from idea to implementation.
Previously, Noveck served in the White House as the first United States Deputy Chief Technology Officer and director of the White House Open Government Initiative under President Obama. UK Prime Minister David Cameron appointed her senior advisor for Open Government.
Join us as Noveck shares her experiences at the intersection of technology, academia, and state and local governments, and offers insights on what Cleveland needs in order to succeed in the 21st century.
The livestream will be available beginning at 12:30 p.m. Have questions? Tweet them at @TheCityClub or send a text to 330.541.5794.

Dalit bureaucrats turn e-warriors for Rohith Vemula
New Delhi: This Dalit revolution is being WhatsApped by the community's elite.
If that sounds a contradiction in terms, it is a measure of how far Rohith Vemula's suicide has fired Dalit anxiety. Amid outrage over the scholar's death in Hyderabad Central University, scheduled caste IAS and IPS officers have come together to channelise their anguish online.
Central bureaucrats posted in Haryana formed a WhatsApp group and started generating financial help for Rohith's family. The endeavour is headed by an additional chief secretary-ranked officer, with over 90 members. Some non-Dalit officers also chipped in.
While there was no demand for assistance, the bureaucrats were shaken by the moving suicide note in which Rohith noted that the university had withheld Rs 1.75 lakh of his scholarship money and urged the family to return Rs 40,000 he owed a friend.
The word spread, and the group of IAS-IPS officers not only pooled in money but also attracted Dalit officers from other services. "More than money, it displayed the anguish of the community," a member said.
Post-suicide, when students and activists have kept the fire burning, the "steel frame" has bonded in an unprecedented way which, a senior officer said, was indicative of growing "Ambedkarisation, not radicalisation" of the bureaucracy.
"They are increasingly identifying themselves with the community's travails and stretching the frontiers of activism as much as possible within the confines of service rules. They are not in the cocoon anymore," an IAS officer said.
It is seen as another example of "anger mobilisation" wrought by the advent of mobile telephony. Many such groups are in existence at different levels of bureaucracy, across states. The group has only 215 officers networking. The group turned into a purveyor of protests the day Rohith's suicide exploded on TV.
In-house "scoops" have kept the members above confusion. When the issue erupted, Rohith's suicide note was posted to be read. After claims that Rohith wasn't a Dalit, his caste certificate was circulated."Our first reaction was anguish - why 'we' could not reach out to him when he was suspended by the university," an official said. A section of Dalit elite thinks it should be following the community's GenNext.

Brief summary: One of the best films of the 90s, period. It doesn’t get the credit or respect it deserves.
I just watched this for the 100th time, probably… and I pulled up the Wikipedia entry about it. Ultimately, it said it was a commercial failure, and while it has its moments, it’s “ultimately forgettable.”
I wouldn’t say that at all.
Mumford is, quite simply, two main “characters”— one, the small town of Mumford (possibly set in the Pacific Northwest, Virginia area, or mountainous part of the United States– it’s never clear), and two, the charismatic and very popular psychiatrist, Dr. Mumford of Mumford (Loren Dean).
Sounds confusing? It can be, somewhat…
Dr. Mumford is everyone’s favorite shrink. The small-town of Mumford has its share of very neurotic people, from Sofie (Hope Davis), to billionaire, young entrepreneur Skip Skipperton (Jason Lee), and local pharmacist Henry Follett (Pruitt Taylor Vince), to Nessa Watkins (Zooey Deschanel, in her debut film role). Everyone in town is dealing with his and her own unique (but quite quirky) problem, and Dr. Mumford seems quite apt at “fixing” everyone, by simply being a great listener, and logical advice-giver. But a question arises midway through the film… is he a real shrink? He seems “too good” to be.
Later on in the film, things unfold in ways that the town could never imagine, including a huge secret that Skip Skipperton is reluctant to share… and an undeniable connection between a small handful of the town’s residents.
I would say the movie Mumford is anything but “forgettable.” It’s funny, charming, original, fresh, and endearing. And the acting (and cast) is completely top-notch. Don’t sleep on it. Written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan.

After processing my pictures from the Nelson Atkins Museum a couple of weeks ago I could see that I really needed to use my tripod there to really make great HDR’s. In order to take my exposures in the museum I had to increase my ISO to 640 just to get a decent shot at f/2.8. I am sure you have heard me gripe about the ISO on my E-30 multiple times, there is a reason it goes down to ISO 100, because anything higher means a nightmare of noise! My HDR products weren’t that bad, but I knew I could get better with a lower ISO and a tripod.
I contacted the Museum and was granted 1 hour of visitor free access to the Museum. I was in hog HDR heaven! I only wish that it could be 8 hours! I was able to use my tripod and set my ISO to 100 and take my time with each room, well as much time as I could afford with 1 hour.
Along with my Actions Package, I modified a few steps in my post processing this week and love the outcome. I will show you a couple of new techniques I acquired this Friday for the Free Tutorial. Last weeks Dual Processing of HDR Images went over very well, but I think this week will be as useful if not more! Also check out the new Texture Package up for grabs in the HDR Store, I will be showing a quick review and ease of use guide on Wednesday.
Tip For The Week:
When shooting panoramic shots of interiors, ensure that your tripod head is level as you pan. I had a horrible time correcting the Pano’s I took of the rooms in the Atkins Museum partially because I shot them with a Wide Angle Lens at its lowest focal length, another problem with interior panoramas. Since Wide Angle Lenses tend to distort the image you are composing in order to fit it all in one shot, as you pan the distortion changes, as the distortion changes so does the perspective. When I ran the Automated image stitching in Photoshop I had to choose the Spherical option to ensure the perspectives changed as the images were stitched together. What resulted were horizontal and vertical lines that would not correct with any means I know of (Lens Correction, Perspective Transform, Skew, Warp, I even tried the bulge filter).
Bottom Line: Unless you are really going for warped perspectives, change the focal length of your wide angle lens to ensure it is not warping the perspective too much, or avoid it all together and shoot with a fixed lens. Also ensure the tripod head is level as you change positions during panning.

If you have a prized music collection in the cloud or on your hard drive, there are a few ways to stream it all remotely, just like you would with a service like Spotify.
Whether you’ve got plenty of rare tunes ripped from vinyls, a bunch of albums from indie artists on Bandcamp, or a carefully curated collection of lossless tracks, this guide should help you figure out the best way to access your music on the go.
It should also come in handy for folks who are being left high and dry by Microsoft, as it’s killing off its Groove Music mobile apps for streaming tracks from your OneDrive account. While Groove Music will continue to be available on PCs and Xbox consoles, you likely won’t get much use out of it if you can’t use the app when you’re out and about.
My tunes are in the cloud
If you already have music in the cloud, Cloudbeats seems like just the thing to sort you out. It’s available for Android and iOS, works with music stored in OneDrive and other services, and lets you browse and stream your personal collection as if the songs were stored on your device with a well-designed interface.
This way, you don’t need to rejig your cloud-based music collection, or move it anywhere before you can can crank those tunes. A $4 in-app purchase unlocks additional features, like the ability to download music for offline listening, and streaming tracks to Chromecast-equipped devices.
My tunes are on my hard drive
If you have a large collection of MP3s on your hard drive, you can opt to store them online with select streaming music services. Apple Music, Deezer, and Google Play Music allow subscribers to upload tracks and stream them just as they would with tunes from their online catalogs.
A $10 plan for Apple Music lets you stash 100,000 songs in your iCloud Music Library; Google Play Music’s similarly priced offering includes room for 50,000 songs. Deezer also supports uploads, but you’re limited to 2,000 tracks, so it’s not the best option out there.
For Apple Music, you’ll need iTunes to upload your tracks into the cloud; you can find more info on how to do that here. For Google Play Music, you’ll need to log into your account on your desktop, tap the menu button at the top left of your screen, and then click on Upload music to begin adding tracks from your local storage.
Alternatively, you could consider cloud services that let you upload your personal music collection and stream tracks on various devices. Vox claims to offer unlimited storage for your MP3s and lossless tracks for $4.99 a month, and Voltra charges $9.99 a month for its offering. Both have iOS apps, but Vox’s desktop player only works on macOS, and Voltra’s is limited to Windows and Linux. If you’re an Android user, these services aren’t for you right now.
Another way to go is to set up a personal streaming server on your desktop with Plex. As long as your computer is connected to the internet, you can stream music to other devices that you’re signed into from anywhere – and that includes Android, iOS, Windows, and a host of other platforms.
Plex’s primary media server service is free, and requires you to install an app on the computer that has all your music. Once you’ve got it set up, just point it to the folders where your tracks are stored, and it’ll index them into a neat catalog. You can then access your tracks by logging into your account on other devices.
You will need to enable remote access by following the instructions on this page, though, and a Plex Pass subscription ($40 a year, or $5 a month, or $20 for a lifetime plan) to remove the 1-minute restriction on streaming to Plex’s mobile apps.
That should help you get your music fix without having to rely exclusively on what streaming services offer. Do you have a trick for accessing your tunes? Let us know in the comments.

Under Colorado law, it is illegal for adult drivers to send or receive text messages or e-mail on their cell phones while driving because of the danger distracted driving poses to other motorists. And while kids up to age eight must be strapped into booster seats under the law, the 43 percent of Coloradans who own dogs are allowed to drive around with their furry pal roaming the seats of the car. But according to a new survey conducted by AAA, pooches in cars do pose dangers. As many as 80 percent of dog-owning drivers admit they've been distracted by a canine passenger in their cars, writes Fox 31, another possible explanation for some of the estimated 6,000 distracted-driving deaths each year. One key issue: Many dogs don't seem to appreciate the gravity of what's at stake when their owners are behind the wheel. As the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety notes, when a driver looks away from the road for a mere two seconds, it doubles the risk of a crash (via the Denver Business Journal).

Following the international break, Real Madrid returns home to the Santiago Bernabéu to face Osasuna. With two wins out of two games, the team must keep adding points in order to prevent rivals from getting ahead this early.
This will be a good recovery match before the UEFA Champions League starts next week. The BBC is expected to finally make a comeback in this match.
Preferred Formation: 4-3-3
The FIFA virus only ended up injuring Isco. He’ll miss a couple of games, but should be back relatively soon. On the other hand, Zinedine Zidane can count with the entire BBC for the first time in a long while.
Even though there’s no need to push them too much, they’ll be given some minutes so they can possibly start against Sporting Lisbon. Some other rotations are expected.
GK: Kiko Casilla
Keylor Navas is still out. Casilla has one more chance to get some playing time and make his coach trust him for more matches. The rivals have only scored one goal so far, meaning he might not have a lot of work.
RB: Dani Carvajal
It would be a good game to give him a rest. However, his usual substitute Danilo may be used on the other wing instead. Still, there’s a chance Carvajal could be the one to sit this one out.
The Portuguese played and lost over the break with his national team. He hasn’t played for Real since the Undécima win. This will initiate the tight competition between him and Varane.
CB: Sergio Ramos
Out of the three regular center backs, the captain is the least likely to rotate at the moment. He won’t be immune to them, yet it doesn’t seem it will be happening that often.
Marcelo flew a long way from his international duties. Coentrão won’t be back until the end of the month, so Danilo would be the first choice to replace the #12. This would be his season debut.
RCM: Luka Modrić
The Croatian missed the opening game because of a suspension and played the second one. There’s no reason to leave him out. Nevertheless, Zizou could start to rotate regardless of the player’s condition.
CM: Mateo Kovačić
Like Marcelo, Casemiro travelled a long way and trained separately from his teammates. Since he doesn’t have an actual replacement, he must be used carefully. This sets up Mateo for a starting role.
LCM: Toni Kroos
He was the unlikely savior versus Celta de Vigo, scoring his fourth goal for the club in 101 matches. That’s well below the 25 goals in 205 at Bayern Munich. However, his playmaker abilities are what’s important.
RW: Gareth Bale
He was the hero of the first La Liga game and his national team during the break. Now with Ronaldo back, he must prove that he can still be a leading contributor even with his partner on the pitch.
ST: Álvaro Morata
Even though Karim Benzema has joined his teammates in training like Ronaldo, the coach may be a bit more patient with him. Because of this, he’ll come in later in the game instead of playing him from the start.
LW: Cristiano Ronaldo
The UEFA Best Player in Europe winner is expected to make his season debut. It’s been a while since Madridistas have seen the #7 on the pitch, so being a home game makes it more special for both fans and the player.

Plenty of buff, half-naked men are gracing the small screen this season. Is this a way to lure female viewers?
There's something missing on television this year: Shirts. On men.
So far this season, an array of new shows, from Elementary, Arrow and Chicago Fire to The New Normal, Emily Owens, M.D. and Last Resort, has paraded toned male torsos. Popular returning series such as Hawaii Five-0, New Girl and even Modern Family have flashed abs, as well.
And in what may be seen as a pop-culture turning point, CBS daytime game show The Price Is Right just introduced its first male model — and producers promise he'll go topless from time to time.
It wasn't always like this. In the 1970s and '80s, "it was a little like spotting a rare bird. You'd be watching TV, then suddenly there was this hunky shirtless guy," says Cosmopolitan editor at large John Searles. "Now every time you turn on the TV, there's a guy half-naked."
Some people theorize the recession has made the TV industry focus more intently on pitching to women, who watch the most television — and who still pack a lot of purchasing power in their handbags.
"You can tie an outbreak of man-flesh to the economic trends touched off by the great 'he-cession,' " says David Zinczenko, editor in chief of Men's Health, who calls this the least-surprising trend in TV history. "Sex sold when the medium was invented in the '40s, and it will still sell on whatever screens we'll be watching in 2042."
"Women generally watch more TV than men," says Brad Adgate of ad firm Horizon Media, so programmers are pandering to their core audience. He traces the recent trend partly to the social-media buzz created by another shirtless guy, soccer star David Beckham, in a commercial in this year's Super Bowl: "It got a lot of comments on Twitter; all these shows have hashtags, so it's just a way to get them in the conversation socially."
Jay Ryan, a native New Zealander who stars as Vincent Keller on CW's remake of Beauty and the Beast, buys into the marketing theories. "I think that it has to do with the audience demographic becoming heavily female-based. They are the No. 1 shoppers in retail, and TV is made to sell products. So it's only natural (for) male actors having to get their kits off."
As for The Price Is Right's first male model, Rob Wilson, executive producer Mike Richards says: "We're in daytime, and daytime is predominantly female. We've made lot of changes on The Price is Right, in terms of the prizes, to target women more.
"This is kind of an extension of know your audience and know what your audience likes," he says, "and the sound that the women in our audience made when they first saw Rob confirmed that we had done the right thing."

By Ray Tate
As you read this column, a war is being fought. No, not a war against terror, or how the President pronounces it Terra. Nor do I speak of the horrible atrocities being committed by the Israeli government and the Palestinian terrorists. I'm speaking about the more important war. The war against cancellation.
It all began when Marvel decided to cancel Captain Marvel. It then escalated when they decided to keep the title but raise the price. I've read Peter David's reasoning, and it seems sound.
I grew up during a time when comic books were cheap entertainment but delivered better quality. For a dollar, I could buy a comic book that was one-hundred pages where Batman teams up with the Shadow to confront his fear of gunplay and still get some pretty fine back-up material like two Manhunter stories, Doll-Man, Kid Eternity and Hawkman.
For three dollars, I can watch Bruce Wayne in one of the most contrived moves ever made by DC buy a gun so his immediate suspicion for the murder of Vesper Fairchild is guaranteed and get a hit or miss black and white back-up feature, but I digress (pun intended). Peter David makes sense.
The cheaper the comic books are the more likely somebody will buy them. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out. If comic books were still a dollar or even a dollar and a quarter I may not have dropped my Batman titles and voiced my disgruntlement in more detail. What would DC care? They'd still make a profit.
This price increase has led to challenges made by Mr. David to save Captain Marvel. It's been suggested that his challenge is an act of desperation or publicity in collusion with Marvel. I sincerely doubt Mr. David's move is a publicity stunt. He doesn't need one. He's a bloody novelist for pity's sake. He writes the New Frontier Star Trek novels.
After Mr. David made his claim Bill Jemas met his challenge with another. He will write a book having Marvel in its title without editorial constraint using an artist of his choice within Marvel's guidelines not say the Luke Cage standards. This book Mr. Jemas believes will outsell Captain Marvel. Mr. Jemas has unimaginatively named this hypothetical book The Marvel.
To dispel any ideas that this is a publicity stunt, Joe Quesada said that he would also challenge both Jemas and David, and then Steven Grant threw his hat into the race during a recent Permanent Damage. I've corresponded with Steven Grant during his run on Vampirella, and Peter David has dropped me a note once. I don't know Bill Jemas and haven't seen any of his work. I'll say nothing about Joe Quesada since his run on Iron Man sucked. So given this fleeting acquaintance with one of the contenders as well as a strong appreciation for his work, given a respect and admiration for Peter David's talent, given a complete ignorance regarding Bill Jemas and a shrugging off of Joe Quesada's alleged writing skills, I've come to this startling conclusion. I don't believe there are any more original uses in comic books for the word Marvel.
Let's look at this. There have been six different versions of Captain Marvel. The original is the Big Red Cheese. His sister was renamed after the Crisis Captain Marvel. She has also gone by the name of Mary Marvel and the fan term of endearment Captain Mary Marvel. There's been Captain Marvel of the Kree and his son who was at point blank range when this war broke out. Marvel, the comic book publisher, made a fantastic move by dubbing a black female super-hero Captain Marvel. She's honestly my favorite of the Marvel Marvels. The sixth is an obscure one who had the power to separate his body parts. I wonder if he also separated his--no, scratch that.
Marvel Girl was one of the original X-Men. Ms. Marvel was even better than the original Marvel Captain. Somebody felt it would be a good idea to rename her Warbird which never has made any sense to me. I do believe there was a second Ms. Marvel who was briefly a member of the Fantastic Four. She popped up when Carol lost her powers and became Binary--still I'm sorry a better name than Warbird. On DC's side, there exists a Captain Marvel Jr. on whose hair Elvis based his own coif and Lieutenant Marvels as well as Hoppy the Marvel Bunny. Oh, and we can't forget Uncle Marvel.
Then we have the Masked Marvel from a cliffhanger serial. Marvel Boy is an old hero I first encountered in What if? and the name has recently gained fame in a mini-series critically acclaimed. The title Marvels has been taken. Marvel Maxim is unfortunately existent. Marvel Premiere, Tales, Chillers, Team-Up, Two-in-One are right out.
And that at the top of my head is what I immediately discarded. When I did some research in Jeff Rovin's splendid Encyclopedia of Super-Heroes I found more Marvels to be crossed off the list of titles. The first hero to use the name Marvel according to Mr. Rovin's meticulous research was The Masked Marvel--not to be confused with the cliffhanger serial hero. Next we have a Black Marvel who was by a Blackfoot Native given the ability of super speed, super aim and the most dangerous ability of all super swimming. Apparently, Black Marvel's mentor was on peyote at the time.
Mon-El whom you may know as Valor briefly used the name Marvel Lad, and there was still another Marvel Boy who was imbued with the powers of Hercules in Daring Mystery. Miracleman used to be Marvelman, and I'm pretty sure none of the remaining contenders in the Marvel Slug-Fest wish to open up that particular can of Marvel Millipedes. We further have a Kid and Young Marvelman.
There are some Marvel names left, though very few are particularly resonant. In the color category we have Blue Marvel, but if you ask me that sounds too much like Blue Marble. Red Marvel and Scarlet Marvel might have worked had there not been a Scarlet Witch and Red Guardian--times two. The Green Marvel might be confused with Green Lantern, Green Arrow or the Green Hornet. Puce, Pink and Purple Marvel sounds simply ghastly. Though I kind of like the idea of them getting together and forming the Marvelous Ps. Likewise for the Magenta, Maroon, Mauve Marvels. The Turquoise Marvel and Aqua Marvel have different problems. The Teal Marvel would be better off as an alias for Howard the Duck. The Brown Marvel just might rile Bill Cosby's Brown Hornet, and does Marvel really want that kind of legal hassle? The Orange and Yellow Marvels both sound like juices. A White Marvel sounds like something the Klan might think up, and the Tan Marvel sounds like he just came back from spring break. In the precious colors category assuming we don't wish to rip-off the Metal Men, we have the Silver, Platinum and Gold Marvels. These however seem tarnished.
In the brass category, we have Brigadier and Major Marvels. They would outrank Sergeant and Corporal Marvel. Ensign and Private Marvels really only shine the Captain's boots and say "Shazam!" Oddly enough there has never been a Dr. Marvel or Professor Marvel. No, wait a minute. That's not odd at all. Marvel Attorney at Law anyone?
Ms. Marvel was meant to be a symbol of the feminist movement of her time, but there hasn't been a Miss Marvel, a Mr. Marvel or a Mrs. Marvel. Can't imagine why. There's also a dearth of royal Marvels. Lord, Lady, King, Queen, Count, Countess, Baron, Baroness, Prince and Princess Marvels are all up for grabs. Use them in good health.
There are a few adverb Marvels still ripe for the plucking. Fearless Marvel and Fighting Marvel as well as Mighty Marvel seem redundant to me, but hey, it's you're call. There's also never been a Lone Marvel. Perhaps Puce and Pink were ambushed and Tonto discovered Purple near death. If Marvel, the comic book publisher, didn't have a Moon Knight, they may have opted for Moon Marvel. (Insert your Luke Cage joke here.)
Dark Marvel, Grim Marvel and Night Marvel are still open, though neither inspires much confidence. Dark Marvel sounds like a corrupt Marvel in the same way Dark Wanda and Dark Phoenix were corrupted versions of the heroes. Night Marvel is too close to Nighthawk. Grim Marvel might be a description of the Thing. Human Marvel anyone? This suggests that there are inhuman Marvels out there. Perhaps, Larry, the Dachshund Marvel. Why not cash in on the Spider-Man movie and clone him again to create Spider-Marvel?
When all is said and done I think Mr. Quesada and Mr. Grant as well as Bill Jemas, when he realizes The Marvel is the laziest hero name next to Sandwich, can only fight over the one title that makes sense. Bob Marley Marvel.

If you had a loved one who was hit by a car in an auto accident and killed, wouldn’t you hope the driver would be arrested? Especially if it wasn’t the first time they hurt someone while behind the wheel?
An article on firstcoastnews.com details the story of Maria Fonsica was driving on August 12, when troopers say she veered off the road and onto the shoulder, hitting and killing Terrance Fowler. She was charged with careless driving, not a criminal violation.
Then 27 days later she was pulled over again. This time, Fonsica was issued three citations including speeding 71 miles an hour in a 45 mile per hour zone and cutting in and out of traffic.
And that’s not all – Fonsica has 16 citations in all that date back 20 years. She has been behind the wheel on countless occasions displaying driving habits such as running a stop sign, seatbelt violations and speeding.
Now she is set for sentencing in January. Her attorney says “She’s very distraught by the crash, very sorry it happened and very sympathetic to the family, and she certainly wants the family to understand that,” according to Paul Shorstein who spoke to First Coast News.
The judge in her sentencing will have the option to consider her driving record as a whole.
Florida law establishes a point system to determine if you are qualified to operate a motor vehicle. If she has accrued a number of infractions, she will accrue points that can be added up for driving recklessly, moving violations, exceeding the posted speed limit by 16 mph or more and ignoring traffic signals.
More than 12 points and Fonsica must have her license suspended.
Causing an auto accident in Florida while speeding results in the highest number of points that should at least lead to a license suspension. Unfortunately she was only charged with careless driving in the death of Fowler.
Manslaughter charges resulting from operating a motor vehicle, along with other reckless behavior behind the wheel can lead to a habitual traffic offender charge resulting in a five year driver’s license revocation.
Let’s hope that he considers revoking her license to drive. Just how many chances will this woman get? Remember – driving is not a right, it’s a privilege.
Fatal auto accidents kill about 40,000 people in the U.S. every year. At Farah and Farah we see too many momentary lapses of judgment that change a life forever. You almost can’t imagine it unless it has happened to you. Let’s keep the Fonsica’s of the world off the road whenever we can.
Fowler will be remembered at a memorial softball tournament the evening of December 20th. He belonged to a traveling softball team.

I’m writing just after the finale of Dancing with the Stars All Stars!
The last three couples all delivered amazing final performances. They were:
Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy
Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani
It was fun to be back with all of my DWTS friends, and even more exciting to be there in the studio when Melissa won the mirror ball trophy! Everyone was thrilled that she’d won, and the atmosphere was just electric as the confetti rained down.
Melissa was not only a fun person to work with, she was kind to everyone, eager to learn new moves, and improved so much over the seasons.
Congratulations to Kelly, Shawn, and especially Melissa for your success this season! All of you were delightful to watch!

As the first dentist in Dharavi, Dr. Chang recalls those days when it was 25 paise for a cup of chai, Rs. 5 for a tooth extraction and Rs. 5 for a silver filling. This was back in 1976, when the Calcutta born and Manipal educated doctor came to the ‘money making city’ of Mumbai. Dharavi was then a marshy area with narrow roads and hutments. “Many people in Dharavi were daily wage earners and have financial problems. They prefer a cheap cost of living,” says the 60 year old dentist.
While the cost of living has gone up in the last 35 years since he started work here, Dr. Chang still charges the minimum from his patients. He says that the educated can take care of themselves but the poor in Dharavi need to be more informed about dental hygiene. Looking at the cases of tooth decay and gum problems, Dr. Chang says he continuously dispenses advice stating lesser usage of paan and tambaku. “You can give them as much advice as you want but they are just not prepared to listen,” he adds.
However, Dr. Chang is quick to note that things are better than what they used to be three decades ago. There is more awareness through the television and internet and people are more careful about what their dental health. As we sip on colas offered by Dr. Chang, we ask him slyly if this is going to harm our teeth. “That’s good for business, isn’t it?” he grins.
While the line for Dharavi dental problems might be thinner than before, many Dharavi clients want a pretty set of pearlies. There is more readiness to spend on bleaching and procuring a new set of dentures, something that was thought as too expensive three decades ago. “Many Dharavi people have better incomes than they used to and looking good is part of the deal, isn’t it?” says Dr. Chang.
Dr. Chang hails from a Chinese family of dentists and his three sons are also dentists. He is mysterious about his origins and despite persistent attempts to seek out his full name, he says, “Just Chang. People know me as Dr. Chang.” And if you thought that his Chinese origin may lend itself to some mystic source of knowledge about dental health, Dr. Chang is quick to bust the myth. “It is just that we have better access to instruments and lab technicians than my forefathers did. However, the next generation of dentists lacks the access to basics that we had. There was a time when I manufactured dentures ourselves. There is some knowledge about ground realities that we had access to which the younger generation of dentists doesn’t have,” he says.
In his well-equipped clinic, buzzing with junior dentists (mostly women) and patients, Dr. Chang has a thriving business. He has two more clinics in Byculla and Kurla and caters to mostly lower income groups. He says that if it wasn’t for dentistry, then he would have chosen to become a physician since “you can serve longer. Even till you are 80 years old. As a dentist, you can practice only as long as your eyesight is good. I would like to continue as long as I can. Whether it is looking good or relieve pain, I would like my patients to be happy.”

A tour in a place that preserves an important historical memory: we are in Tivoli, a few kilometers from Rome, a place known for the architectural and cultural beauties present. In particular, Tivoli is known for the triptych of villas, one of which is the Hadrian’s Villa.
The name of the building introduces us to the history of this villa which was built in the 2nd century AD. from one of the most famous and important figures of Ancient Rome: the Emperor Hadrian, also known for his aesthetic taste. The Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli became his home with the goal of being a testimony of pomp and magnificence.
The area on which the villa stood was extremely large, about 120 hectares of which 40 are still visible today. Hadrian’s Villa of Tivoli is the largest Roman villa among those found and a guided tour of its remains is an experience of great artistic and cultural value.
What to see in Hadrian’s Villa
Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli has been named a World Heritage Site and included among the UNESCO protected sites. Taking a guided tour of Hadrian’s Villa means getting lost in this magnificent Roman-era home that belonged to Emperor Hadrian.
The work for the construction of the villa began from 117 AD and lasted for about 20 years. The Emperor Hadrian had chosen Tivoli as a place to rest because of its proximity to Rome and the presence of thermal waters with notoriously beneficial properties. During the following centuries many people of the Roman nobility chose this peaceful place a few kilometers from Rome as a destination to spend their holidays.
On a visit to Hadrian’s Villa, as it appears today, you can see places such as the Greek Theater, the Hall of Philosophers, the Stadium, the Golden Square and the Academy. Besides these, Hadrian’s Villa also guards secrets and particular itineraries.
Particular itineraries of Hadrian’s Villa
The underground city: under the villa there would be another not visible building formed by a series of tunnels dug in depth. It is thought that once these tunnels had a specific purpose and that therefore under the villa there was a sort of underground city.
The large libraries and the Cento Camerelle are of great interest to Hadrian’s Villa: the first are characterized by two large buildings connected by a portico. The Greek Library and the Latin Library. The Cento Camerelle are formed by a massive structure of about 300 meters in length and 15 in height that was born to support the esplanade of the Pecile. This latter was created by the will of Hadrian Emperor as a memory and commemoration of the Stoà Pecile of Athens.
Many places of historical, artistic, scenic interest that you can visit during a tour of Hadrian’s Villa of Tivoli, coming into contact with the magic of the place.

Dudgeon, David a Scotch sceptic, was born in 1706. Little is known of his early history. In 1732 he published a treatise entitled The Moral World, which teaches that "there is no evil in the moral world but what naturally ariseth from the nature of imperfect creatures, who always pursue their good, but cannot but be liable to error or mistake, and that evil or sin is inseparable in some degree from all created beings, and most consistent with the designs of a perfect Creator." He was called to answer for it before the Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly, but no decision appears to have been reached. His most important work is Philosophical Letters concerning the Being and Attributes of God (1737). "These letters were written in the midst of pressing agricultural cares, to the Reverend Mr. Jackson, author of a work written in the spirit of Clarke, The Existence and Unity of God. In these letters Dudgeon reaches a species of refined Spinozism, mingled with Berkeleyanism. He denies the distinction of substances into spiritual and material, maintains that there is no substance distinct from God, and that all our knowledge but of God is about ideas; they exist only in the mind, and their essence and modes consist only in their being perceived." In 1739 he published A Catechism founded upon Experience and Reason, collected by a Father for the Use of his Children; and in an 'Introductory Letter' he wishes that natural religion alone was embraced by all men, and states that though he believes there was an extraordinary man sent into our world seventeen hundred years ago to instruct mankind, yet he doubts whether he ever commanded any of those things to be written concerning him which we have. The same year he published A View of the Necessitarian or Best Scheme, freed from the Objections of M. Crousaz, in his Examination of Pope's Essay on Man. Dudgeon died at Upsettlington, on the borders, January 1743. His works were published in a combined form in 1765, in a volume without a printer's name attached, showing that there was not as yet thorough freedom of thought in Scotland. His writings had for a time a name in the district (the Catechism reached a third edition), but afterwards passed away completely from public notice." McCosh, in Brit. and For. Ev. Review, July 1865, page 552.

5) South Carolina Republican Party executive director Joel Sawyer is stepping down to work for
former Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman if he makes a presidential bid.
4) As Hotline On Call first reported
Monday, New Mexico Lt. Gov. John Sanchez is launching his Senate campaign today. Sanchez, a Republican, will run to the right of former Rep. Heather Wilson in the GOP primary, and he'll be a formidable challenger with at least some capacity to self-fund and ability to reach out the state's quickly-growing Hispanic population.
3) The New York Times reports
Democratic officials are trying to woo Elizabeth Warren to run against Sen. Scott Brown
, R-Mass., instead of having her continue to set up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
2) Kicking off his presidential campaign in Iowa on Tuesday, Tim Pawlenty pitched himself as a straight-talking candidate who would cut spending and eventually phase out ethanol subsidies.
But when you bill yourself as a candidate who tells the truth, you're going to get checked on it. National Journal's Beth Reinhard takes a look at some of the claims Pawlenty made about his record.
1) It's election day in NY-26, and House Race Hotline Editor Jessica Taylor previews today's election with a primer on what to watch for. Democrat Kathy Hochul will need to do well in Erie County while Republican Jane Corwin will need an impressive showing in Monroe County and the rural parts of the district.
On Monday, voters in the district were receiving calls from Bill Clinton and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, for Hochul and Corwin, respectively.
Stay tuned to Hotline On Call for continuing coverage throughout the day and results after the polls close at 9 p.m. ET this evening.

Howard County Council Member David Yungmann has filed legislation that would create a public confirmation process for the appointment of all department directors (CR 51-2019). Here is information via his Facebook page from March 22nd:
Yesterday I pre-filed legislation (CR-51) that would amend the County’s Charter and create a public confirmation process for the appointment of all department directors. Howard County is one of the only charter counties that does not involve a public process or council confirmation for these appointments. Public engagement and council approval is currently only required when determining the County Solicitor, Health Officer, Cable Administrator, and the dozens of citizen members to our County Boards and Commissions. This amendment would align Howard County with other charter counties including Baltimore, Cecil, Harford, Prince George’s, Montgomery, Talbot, and Baltimore City.
I, along with my colleagues on the County Council and the County Executive, committed to increasing transparency and public inclusion in county government during our respective campaigns. I believe this is consistent with that commitment and a positive step for Howard County. If passed, the amendment will be sent to a referendum vote in the 2020 election cycle.
To read the legislation, visit: https://apps.howardcountymd.gov/olis/LegislationDetail.aspx…
In reviewing the legislation…here are some of the proposed changes to County Charter Section 302 in this bill (on page 4):
To appoint [[the Chief Administrative Officer and]] the heads of all offices [[and departments]] which are subject to his or her supervision and control under this Charter or by law;
TO APPOINT, SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION BY THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER AND THE HEADS OF ALL DEPARTMENTS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO HIS OR HER SUPERVISION AND CONTROL UNDER THIS CHARTER OR BY LAW;
So if this is passed…the voters will decide yes or no on these changes via a referendum vote in 2020.
I have not reached out to Council Member Yungmann or County Executive Calvin Ball about this legislation at this point. This might be something I do in the future…but I am waiting to see what happens at the County Council level first.
I have reservations right now about this legislation. I understand it and I am all for transparency…but I also see how this can cause problems (leadership positions delayed in being filled) and further politicize positions within Howard County Government. I am not looking at this legislation in regards to the current administration…but future administrations with different County Council Members. My thought right now is that the County Executive should have the discretion needed to appoint staff in leadership positions…and also should be held accountable for those appointed to those positions.
I look forward to the discussions on this legislation and hope to learn more about it in the near future…you never know…I might switch how I think about it as I obtain additional information.
Let me know what you think about this legislation in the comments.
