An elegant, imposing and richly appointed arts and crafts style house built in 1906 designed by the famous Farnham architect Harold Falkner FRIBA, with stunning south west facing formal gardens and grounds. One of Farnham’s outstanding residences of this period and within the conservation area of Great Austins. The house boasts some 6000 square feet of space, with comfortable and easy living ideal for a growing family, in this wonderful, accessible and private location. As you enter the house through the main entrance porch you proceed into a welcoming hallway with a lovely easy rise staircase to the first
floor. There is access to the sitting room, drawing room, dining room, 2nd sitting room, cloakroom, breakfast room which leads to the kitchen. At this end of the hallway there is access to a sun room and garden terrace and a second staircase giving alternative access to the first floor and sole access to the second floor. All of the major reception
rooms have a most attractive open view of the gardens and beyond. The first floor has a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and separate dressing room. There are three further spacious bedrooms and 2 family bathrooms. The second floor has three further rooms suitable as bedrooms or for study and one family bathroom. Please refer to the floorplan for further details of sizes and location.
This magnificent house occupies a particularly fine position within Great Austins, one of the highly regarded locations within the Farnham area, away from the main traffic routes. Farnham is well
known for its wide streets and Georgian and medieval architecture, beneath its historic castle and park, the Town Centre lies within about 1 mile, providing good shopping facilities with a variety of restaurants, wine bars and various supermarkets. There is a good selection of private and state schools including South Farnham
Junior School close by and others which are Barfield, Edgebrough, Frensham Heights, Moor House and Charterhouse. There is also an excellent choice of golf courses at Hankley Common and Hindhead. Farnham Train station is just under a 1 mile away from the house, and London Waterloo can be reached in just under
an hour using the fast service. There is ready access to the surrounding countryside, providing superb opportunities for walking, riding and county pursuits. Communications are excellent from this position with the A31, A331, M3 (Junc 5) and the A3 all providing good access to the national motorway network, as well as both Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
Mavins Court boasts mature and rather stunning gardens, with grounds totalling some 5.77 acres. The property sits proud in its plot, with a gravel drive coming off Greenhill Road giving access
to ample parking, garaging and storage. To the front of the property are numerous mature trees and shrubs giving good privacy and seclusion and there is a full size sun terrace at the rear of the property, ideal for entertaining and relaxing. There is the most breath-taking mature wisteria on the
back of the house which is quite lovely when it blooms and forms part of the formal gardens display across and around the house. There are steps leading down to the main lawn with a wonderful south facing aspect to the rear of the house and garden. Throughout the garden there are numerous mature specimen trees and many shrubs dominated by rhododendrons and azaleas
for spring colour and acers for autumn colour. This garden is quite unique for this area, boasting so much space and enjoyment for all. In all a superb fine family house in a lovely situation with attractive views over the gardens from most of the major rooms in the house.

The new Kinect will require you to stand only 1.4m (four and a half feet) away from the sensor if you’re playing alone instead of 1.8m (six feet) like the original Kinect, a leaked Brazilian Xbox One installation manual has revealed. If playing with a friend, you’ll have to stand about 1.8m (six feet) away from the new Kinect, instead of two metres. Additionally the sensor has to be placed half a metre off the ground and no higher than 1.8m in the air.
The manual also suggests a higher placement of the Kinect for Xbox One is preferable and clarified that an Xbox Live Gold membership will be required to use services such as Skype on the new system.
A good Xbox One installation also apparently involves connecting the console up to the internet and using a 720p television.
Does the new Kinect’s range mean it’ll finally fit in your living room?

Reform and autonomy: perceptions of the Australian general practice community
AbstractReforms in health care in the 1990s across industrialised nations have had profound consequences for the autonomy of general/family practitioners (GPs). Research suggests that the professional autonomy of GPs is declining across countries, related to policy reform processes and to challenges from other actors. Important questions remain, however, around appropriate ways to conceptualise autonomy, and about the perceptions that GPs themselves have of their autonomy. It is these questions in the context of more than a decade of general practice reform in Australia that are the focus of this paper. Using a multi-component model of autonomy, which separates out micro, meso and macro dimensions of autonomy, we undertook an analysis of 343 items on autonomy and reform collected from 3 key general practice journals. We argue that members of the GP community profess an enjoyment for general practice, and operate with an ideal of what it means to be a GP. However, the reform process is perceived to challenge this enjoyment and the ideal of professional practice. In particular, there exists uncertainty as to what it means to be a GP, with members of the GP community expressing a loss of control across important dimensions of autonomy. While numerically most discussion focused on control over earnings, the intensity of feeling was most evident around control over clinical practice. Our results suggest the importance of using a multi-component model of autonomy, as it allows for a nuanced analysis of the relationship between the reform process and autonomy. At the same time, however, our analysis indicates that it is also crucial to recognise autonomy is constituted by the interaction of these components.

The present Terms and Conditions regulate the conditions which the establishments assume that, by previously registering in the Website, request the Dog Vivant certification ("DV Certification") to become a certified Dog Vivant host ("Host") and establish the conditions of use of the platform ("Platform") and of the specific services and functionalities which Dog Vivant makes available.
Through the Platform, Dog Vivant acts as a mere intermediary offering Hosts a tool which provides facilitates their promotion of their products/services among the dog lovers who form part of the Dog Vivant community ("Users"), therefore Dog Vivant does not accept any responsibility with regard to the offers and promotions which Hosts make on the Platform, nor with regard to the truthfulness and accuracy of the information made available on the Platform on such products/services and the characteristics of their commercial establishment.
DOG VIVANT P.I.C., S.L. is a Spanish company registered in the Mercantile Register of Biscay in Volume 5587, Folio 109, Page BI-67332, 1st entry, with head office in Calle Ogoño 1, Planta 3 Módulo 8, 48930 Las Arenas, Getxo, Bizkaia, and having Tax.

The establishments that request the DV certification must be hotel and catering industry establishments that promote dog-friendly policies in their businesses and wish to form part of the Dog Vivant community to publicise their products and services among the Platform Users, as potential clients.
To obtain the DV Certification and enjoy the advantages implied in being a Host, you must register and create a profile in the Platform providing a series of details about our business and your policy of dog admission. For more information about the process of registering and the advantages involved in becoming a Host, consult the section "Do you want to be a certified establishment?" available in this Website [or, when subscribing to this Agreement off-line, read carefully the information document which Dog Vivant provides together with the sample of this Agreement].
If the registration on the Platform is done on behalf of an organisation or legal entity, the physical person who does the registration and accepts the conditions established in this Agreement expressly declare that they have sufficient power of representation to enter into contracts on behalf of the company and bind the organisation they represent to the mentioned clauses. Dog Vivant under no circumstance will be liable for the lack of truthfulness or inaccuracy of the details or declarations made by the representative of the Host.
2.- Economic conditions.
To obtain and keep in force the DV Certification, the Host must complete the registration process and pay the annual rates specified at the time of registering in the Website for each modality/category of establishment, in accordance with the habitual forms of payment for the purpose in the registration process (credit card, direct debit, PayPal).
[Should the form of payment chosen be direct debit, the express acceptance of this Agreement and including the necessary bank details for the purpose, expressly authorises Dog Vivant to make all payments by means of bank draft to the bank account specified in the registration process, indefinitely insofar as the commercial relations derived in this Agreement continue in force, will automatically be renewed annually unless notified of your wish not to renew in the terms and with the notice specified below]
Click here to consult the current rates and the services/advantages involved in obtaining each modality/category of DV Certification. [If you subscribe to this Agreement off-line, you may request the list of current rates from Dog Vivant]
If you have various establishments and which to register all of them as Hosts, write to us at firstname.lastname@example.org and we will send you our personalised proposal.
Once the registration process has finalised and the corresponding fee for the category in which you register is paid, no later than 15 working days you will receive a DV Certification of one year duration, together with the Welcome Pack corresponding to the category/modality in which you have been registered as Host. During the period of validity of the DV Certification you can enjoy the specific services and functionalities of the Platform.
The DV Certification and the services related to the condition as Host will have a duration of one (1) year. In any case, once the initial time period has elapsed, the Agreement will automatically be renewed unless the Host expresses his/her opposition to the renewal thirty (30) days prior to the date of renewal or activate the option of "do not renew" available in the section "my details" in your private Host area in the Platform, giving thirty (30) days notice.
Non renewal (or non payment of the corresponding fee for annual renewal, if this had occurred automatically) will result in the loss of validity of the DV Certification and the services in the Platform.
Once the validity of the DV Certification has expired, Dog Vivant will send you an email to communicate this and, from this moment, the public profile of the Host will no longer be available for the Users in the Platform although the Host may continue temporarily to access the private area of his/her profile, having the possibility, when considered necessary, to request the DV Certification again and reactivate all the functionalities of the Platform paying the corresponding fee for their establishment. This function will only be available for one (1) year, from which time the Host's profile will definitively be erased from the Platform.
The Host may cancel his/her registration at any time during the period of validity of the DV Certification. To do this, select the option "request cancellation" in the section "my data" of your private area of your Host profile The moment the cancellation is effective you will receive a confirmation email. If you should request the cancellation prior to the yearly period of the DV Certification having elapsed, the Host may not under any circumstance request the refund of the proportional amount already paid for the period not used.
From this moment you receive the confirmation email, the public profile of the Host will no longer be available for the Users in the Platform although the Host may continue temporarily to access the private area of his/her profile, having the possibility, when considered necessary, to request the DV Certification again and reactivate all the functionalities of the Platform paying the corresponding fee for their establishment. This function will only be available for a period of one (1) year, from which time the Host's profile will definitively be erased from the Platform.
In any case, from the moment the cancellation e-mail is received, the Host, if he/she wishes, may erase all his/her data from their file definitively, access "my details" and marking the option "erase my file and all my details definitively and irreversibly". Once this action has been confirmed it cannot be undone.
5.- Other conditions of DV Certification maintenance.
Apart from paying the corresponding annual fee, to keep the DV Certification in force and benefit from the related services, the Host must:
- Fulfil the indications specified in his/her Host file with regard to his/her policy of admission of dogs and
- Display the distinguishing DV Certification symbol in a visible place at the entrance to the establishment.
With the aim of checking the quality of the features assured by the associate Host and verifying they comply with the conditions specified in their Host file, Dog Vivant reserves the right to make inspections of the establishments and withdraw the DV Certification from the Host in the event of non-compliance with these conditions.
In this way, if several comments or direct complaints are recorded by Users communicating that a Host is applying a policy of dog admission manifestly different from what is published in their file, or who does not admit dogs without any kind of justification, Dog Vivant reserves the right to withdraw the DV Certification following an interview with the Host concerned and after reasonably analysing the case.
The withdrawal of the DV Certification in such cases by no means implies the right to a refund of the annually paid amount.
In any case, the aim of Dog Vivant is to promote the predisposition of businesses in promoting dog-friendly policies but in no circumstance is it intended to oblige Hosts to accept dogs unconditionally in their establishment when there are clear and sound reasons (basic rules of coexistence, common sense, etc.) that, due to disruptions and/or risks for clients or workers in their business, occasionally may require making exceptions to the usual policies of admission. For this reason, Dog Vivant has drawn up a Cohabitation Guide intended for Users to get to know the basic rules they must comply with concerning the conditions in which their dogs can access and make use of the installations of each category of Host establishment.
6.- Nature of DV Certification.
The Host declares knowing that the DV Certification does not constitute or replace or complement any licence, administrative authorisation or legal entitlement which, according to applicable regulations, may be required of the Host for dogs to access and stay in their establishments.
For this reason, and given that in some cities there may exist by-laws that restrict or limit in some way the capacity of commercial establishments open to the public to permit the entry of animals, from Dog Vivant we advise you to consult the corresponding municipal authorities, as Dog Vivant will not be liable for any consequence which may be required of the Host in this respect.
III.- CONDITIONS OF USE OF THE PLATFORM:
Obtaining the DV Certification implies the use, by the Host, of determined functionalities and services of the Platform ("Services"), which are described in the section "Do you want to be a certified establishment? available in this Website.
This section specifically regulates the conditions of use of the Platform and the Services provided by Dog Vivant on it, and their observance is directly linked to the maintenance of the DV Certification.
2.- Intellectual and Industrial Property.
All the rights of intellectual and industrial property with regard to the content, design and source code of the Platform, of the Services and especially, by way of illustration but not limited to, photographs, images, texts, logos, designs, trademarks, commercial names and materials which are housed in it ("Content") belong to Dog Vivant or to their legitimate licensors. The copying, reproduction, adaptation, modification, transformation, distribution, commercialisation, public communication, making available, extraction, reuse and/or any other action with regard to the Platform, the Services and Content which implies a breach of current national and/or international regulations on matters of intellectual and/or industrial property, or of the present conditions of use, is totally prohibited.
Dog Vivant only grants the Host a non-exclusive, non reproducible, temporary, revocable licence, limited to their exclusive use and not sub-licensable for the use of the Platform, subject to the prior payment of the fee corresponding to the DV Certification which corresponds to their category of establishment and for the exclusive purposes of making use of the same for the functions for which it has been designed and made available.
The Host may not house, store, divulge, publish, distribute, make available or share via the Platform and using the Services any content or material: (i) for which it does not have the right or consent or is not entitled to copy, reproduce, transmit, disseminate, exploit, distribute, exhibit to third parties and/or exploit in the terms and for the purposes provided for in the conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) which infringe or violate the rights of industrial or intellectual property or personal rights of third parties (including, by way of illustration but not limited to, copyright, registered trademarks, patents, designs and industrial secrets - or any other rights of industrial and/or intellectual property recognised by the legislation of any country in which such rights may have effect - moral rights, the right to honour, privacy and personal image). The Host assures Dog Vivant that all the aforementioned content which he/she houses, shares, makes available, transmits or publishes in or via the Platform rigorously fulfils these conditions.
The publication of contents, photos, comments and any material and/or information ("Contents of the Host") in the Platform automatically implies that the same grants Dog Vivant a non-exclusive, free, irrevocable, worldwide and sub-licensable licence for the exploitation of the intellectual property inherent in the Contents of the Host, so that Dog Vivant can make use of this in the context and for the purposes pertaining to the Platform and the Services, as well as for undertaking Dog Vivant advertising actions, the Platform and/or the Services by any channel, making them available to users and the public in general, particularly via social networks.
3.- Content of the Host and policy of opinions and comments.
Dog Vivant does not accept any responsibility for the Content of the Host while it assumes such content complies rigorously with the conditions established in this Agreement, particularly in what refers to intellectual and/or industrial property (according to what is established in the previous section) and similarly excludes any liability for the damage of whatever manner which might arise from the lack of truthfulness, accuracy, exhaustiveness and/or updatedness of the Contents of the Host transmitted, disseminated, stored, made available or received, obtained or to which access has been gained via the Platform, especially, that which is included in the Host file.
Dog Vivant does not accept any responsibility, particularly, for the comments and opinions which the Host voluntarily makes or receives in or through the specific functionalities enabled for this purpose in the Platform. Said comments and opinions in no case represent Dog Vivant nor do they reflect its opinion and, therefore, Dog Vivant excludes any manner of responsibility in this sense. The Users and Hosts are the only ones responsible for the opinions given under their user name/password.
However, and inasmuch as the participation of the Users and Hosts aims to be the essence of the Dog Vivant community, we have drawn up the following basic rules of coexistence to regulate the Policy of Comments and Opinions of Dog Vivant.:
- Comments which might be considered defamatory, degrading, insulting, libellous, obscene or contrary to the law, public order or to the most basic norms of coexistence and respect, or which use foul or disrespectful language will not be accepted.
- Comments must be respectful with the dignity of persons and must not contain words or expressions that encourage, promote or incite directly or indirectly hate, hostility, discrimination or violence for reasons related to ideology, religion or beliefs, family situation, belonging to an ethnic group, race or nation, national origin, reasons of gender, sexual orientation or identity, or illness or disability.
- Comments must not include threats, insults, personal attacks to other users, nor will comments be admitted that foment any kind of cruelty to animals.
- Comments intended to openly slander or harm non-objectively the reputation, good name and trademark of the Hosts and/or Users will not be admitted.
Dog Vivant reserves the right to control, prior to its publication, the content of the comments and opinions which are made via or on the Platform and of eliminating those comments which, in its judgement, do not adapt to the Policy of Comments and Opinions of Dog Vivant.
The Host may only access the Platform and use the Services and Contents available via the means or procedures placed at his/her disposal such purposes in the Platform itself and exclusively for the purposes for which said Content and Services have been made available on the Platform.
Merely by way of illustration but not exhaustively, the Host shall abstain from::
- Accessing, interfering, manipulating or using any area of the Platform or of the computer systems of Dog Vivant or the Platform which are not of a public nature and/or intention, or to whom access has not been given, as well as any other act which violates, eludes or manipulates the terms, workings, policies and the spirit of the Platform;
- Creating false user profiles or participating in discussions or issuing comments simulating opinions of different people or bypassing general restrictions and penalties of the Platform or of the service offered by Dog Vivant, as well as imitating or falsifying the affiliation of the Host him/herself or of any other by using the identity of another person and/or entity with the aim of promoting the file of a determined Host;
- attempting to canvas, investigate, analyse, explore or test the vulnerability of the Platform or any system or network related to it or the Services, or undermining or attempting to break any safety or authentication barrier or measure as well as damaging or creating a threat of damage to the system, to other users, to the host or the network;
- Carrying out modifications or alterations to the products or services that involve an alteration to the same and of their image, capable of damaging the users and their expectations;
- Using the Platform, the Contents and/or the Services contrary and with purposes contrary to the law, moral, public order and the present conditions and, in particular, for the publication, transmission or lodging of information, files, recordings and illegal content that infringe the rights of third parties, which are obscene, racist, sexist, defamatory, pornographic, denigrating or offensive, or that introduce or could facilitate illicit or fraudulent conduct of any type;
- attempting to decipher, decompile, dismantle or revert any software engineering used for the correct functioning of the Platform or the provision of the Services; and
- violating rights of intellectual or industrial property belonging to Dog Vivant or third parties and, especially, reproducing, copying or distributing the Contents as well as permitting public access to the same via whatever means of public communication, or transforming or modifying them, without the express authorisation of the owner of the corresponding rights.
5.- Exclusion of guarantees and limitation of responsibility.
Dog Vivant has adopted, within its possibilities and of the current state of the technology, all the measures reasonably required to ensure the correct functioning of the Platform and the Services, and to avoid the existence and transmission of vulnerabilities and harmful components. However, Dog Vivant cannot guarantee nor indeed does it guarantee: (i) the invulnerability of the Platform and the impregnability of the safety measures adopted to prevent the existence of virus and/or other harmful components on the Platform or in the server that supplies it, and the absence of the same; (ii) damage caused to the Host or to a third person by a person who infringes the conditions which Dog Vivant has established for the use of the Platform or via the violation of the safety systems of the same, and (iii) total reliability, availability and continuity of the Platform, the Services and the Contents.

Galway in a festive mood for eclectic arts line-up
“CREATIVITY IS contagious; pass it on,” Einstein once said. Galway Arts Festival artistic director Paul Fahy has issued a similar edict.
Fahy was busy last night announcing details of the city’s 35th annual arts festival,
Centre-stage will be Druid Theatre’s celebration of the work of Tom Murphy – which opens for a preliminary run in Galway tonight – along with two Shakespeare productions by Ed Hall’s Propeller Theatre.
The festival is co-producing the world premiere of The Great Goat Bubble, a new play with an “acerbic take on the property boom”, by Julian Gough and Fishamble.
It is presenting Northlight Theatre’s European premiere of The Outgoing Tide by US playwright Bruce Graham.
Scottish artist David Mach’s exhibition Precious Light has been described by Fahy as “one of the most ambitious visual arts projects we have undertaken”.
The festival will again convert a 3,716sq m (40,000sq ft) warehouse in Galway shopping centre into an art gallery, which will also host Brian Maguire’s prison paintings.
The National Theatre of Scotland will present The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart by David Grieg, and Dublin’s Gate Theatre is a first-time visitor with Watt by Samuel Beckett.
Free events will include Lo Monstre, a hungry dragon who may roam the city seeking a home for the early days of the festival.
British composer and artist Ray Lee will present the sound-art project Siren in the Black Box, and the Macnas parade will be among “mid-festival” street events.
New theatre work from Galway will include Last Shot Redemption by Catastrophe Theatre with Chrysalis Dance.
Big top festival music will be provided by The Coronas; James Vincent McMorrow and Lisa Hannigan with support from Elaine Mai; Christy Moore with Declan Sinnott, supported by Four Men and a Dog; and Chic.
Music will also include The Fall, the West Cork Ukulele Orchestra, Fred and Jack L, Damien Dempsey, the Henry Girls, Singapore’s T’ang Quartet and a tribute to playwright Tom Murphy by Classical Links.
The festival is introducing its version of “Ted Talks”, with the New Yorker’s Alex Ross, actors John Mahoney and Rondi Reid, author Jules Evans, and Caroline Casey.
There will also be talks, with former president Mary Robinson in conversation with Irish Times assistant editor Fintan O’Toole; Tom Murphy with Garry Hynes, and Chic’s Nile Rodgers with Irish Times journalist Jim Carroll.
The festival runs from July 16th to 29th. See details at iti.ms/Lu9sV1

Warner Bros insider claims that the studio made plans to make Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker into a villain in the upcoming The Batman (2022) movie.
According to a source close to Warner Bros, producers pushed to combine Joker and The Batman (2022) universe after Todd Phillips’ villain origin story was a smash hit. Could the recent reshoots have something to do with the upcoming sequel?
Joker 2 has (kinda-sorta) been confirmed. Although Warner Bros haven’t officially announced it, the studio confirmed Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix are interesting in returning for a sequel. However, this time Phoenix reportedly wants to join Phillips at the writer’s table.
It’s no lie that the current DC cinematic universe is a big mess. The Batman and Joker eventually need to meet for the epic rivalry; in a sense, they complete each other. Joker was initially supposed to be a one-and-done type of deal and not bleed into any existing cinematic universe — but according to a source, plans have since changed.
If The Batman 2022 (starring Robert Pattinson) and Joker (starring Joaquin Phoenix) both get sequels then this cinematic universe will get even messier, that is if they don’t start tying things up. There are currently two Batmans (can’t believe I pluralised the caped crusader), two Jokers and three (even four if you count the Snyderverse) separate universes: Batfleck (now retired) and Battinson, and then Leto’s emo Joker and Phoenix’s one. The problem, though, is that Reeves’ The Batman does not have a Joker and Phillips’ Joker does not have a Batman. It would make things stupidly complex to create brand new characters for each universe. And, from what we’ve been told, Warner Bros are aware of this issue.
Shortly after Joker’s box office success Warner Bros started planning to combine Reeves’ and Phillips’ visions, the source said.
“The only reason it wasn’t done sooner was because they weren’t sure whether Phoenix would stick around for another film. They already had to recast Ben Affleck and they didn’t want to have to go through that again. But now Phoenix appears super excited to do a sequel so they really want to combine both films,” the source revealed.
The source alleged that Warner Bros had given Phillips strict instruction not to reveal to much about any other canonical characters except for the Joker.
“Phillips’ even refrained from using the name Alfred Pennyworth [played by Douglas Hodge] in the script’s dialogue. You won’t see anyone actually call him Alfred, at all. This way they have an excuse if the same actor is not cast in The Batman, they can just say it was some other servant,” the source claimed.
Rumour has it that the Warner Bros were filming extra scenes in Glasgow and New York that with Pattinson that are “significant and will add a lot” to the film. Could it be that these extra scenes are tie-ins to Todd Phillip’s Joker 2 starring Joaquin Phoenix? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Despite many delays, Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022) starring Robert Pattinson, Colin Farrell, and Zoe Kravitz is still set to premiere on March 4th, 2022, but Warner Bros have not confirmed whether Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) will be featured.

The role of on-the-job learning has been a focus of public and private sector organisations for some time. This has been driven by concerns about the adequacy of and the return on investment provided by face-to-face training. The development of the 70:20:10 model of learning has provided a framework for thinking differently about how people learn at work. In this model, 70% of learning takes place on the job, 20% through relationships outside one’s area of expertise, and 10% through structured training.
“The nature of the work that people do influences their experience of collaboration.”
A key element of learning on the job is the degree of collaboration that occurs in the workplace. Collaboration is an important feature of the APS workplace. The APS measured the climate for collaboration in the workplace in the 2015 APS employee census. This was done using a measure developed collaboratively between the Commission and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
This measure looked at various aspects of the collaboration climate including the employee experience of collaboration. Three aspects of employee experience were assessed: whether they felt that they learnt a lot from their colleagues, whether working with others in the agency contributed to developing their expertise, and whether they felt that sharing information improved their knowledge.
The majority of employees agreed that their experience of each of these aspects of the collaboration experience was positive. SES employees were noticeably more positive about their experience. This may reflect a combination of their generally higher levels of engagement with the workplace and the nature of the work done by the SES.
The nature of the work that people do influences their experience of collaboration. There are differences in all aspects of the experience of collaboration depending on the function of the agency in which the employee works and the type of work that their immediate workgroup does.
Employees in specialist agencies are most positive about their experience of learning from others in their agency. However, they are less positive about the value of information sharing within the agency. Conversely, employees in small operational agencies are very positive about the benefits of sharing information, but are least positive about their experience of learning from others or gaining expertise from working with others in the agency.
Collaboration experience by agency function
Learn more about this chart: view data for Figure 1.
When the experience of collaboration is looked at across different APS work types, there are some distinctly different patterns of experience. Employees working in a research area see sharing information more positively relative to the other aspects of the experience, whereas those working in a policy or finance area have a more consistent experience. Employees in a human resources (HR) or program design area are less likely to state that they gained their expertise from working with others in their current agency than they are to believe that they have learned a lot from others in their organisation of from sharing information. HR and program design staff are more likely to bring their skills with them but benefit from the collaborative practices in their agency.

Although striped bass will take artificial lures, the best way to hook into a truly big fish is by using natural bait. Stripers will take a variety of live offerings, from baitfish and eels to crustaceans and squid. Hook and present them as live bait or prepare and rig them as cut bait. Striped bass will eagerly attack these offerings.
Live American eels make excellent striper bait. Long and slender, these fish begin their lives in saltwater and then migrate to freshwater to grow. At maturity, they return to saltwater to spawn. Eels are tough fish and stay alive as bait for a long time. They are also easy to keep on the hook. Because of their size, eels can easily be cast without being weighted. Slowly retrieve the eel along the bottom for best effect.
Sea herring also make good bait for striped bass. These fish can be hooked live for drift fishing or fished dead, rigged using a method known as plug cutting. In this method, the head of the fish is cut off at a diagonal. The body is then rigged with one hook trailing near the tail and another hook through the front of the spine. This makes the rig spin slowly, attracting stripers.
Menhaden, also known as bunker or pogy, congregate in very large schools near shore. Rarely growing larger than a pound in weight, these fish are perfect bait for striped bass. Many times, striper fisherman will catch menhaden on lightweight rods and reels, then immediately transfer the little fish to larger reels as bait for stripers.
Stripers love eating a type of fish called spot, a member of the drum family. They make a distinctive croaking or drumming sound with their swim bladder when distressed. These seasonal fish average 6 inches to 8 inches in length and can usually be caught offshore with a cast net between late spring and early fall. Rig a spot by hooking it through its upper lip.
When the mullet are running, they make excellent bait. Smaller-sized mullet, often called finger mullet, can frequently be caught in the shallows using a cast net. Because these fish school readily, they can be caught in large numbers. Be aware that bluefish also love mullet and may be quick to take your bait before stripers can get to it.
Several species of shad can also be used to fish for striped bass. These include gizzard shad, threadfin shad and shiners. Gizzard and threadfin shad can be caught using cast nets, and shiners are often available at local bait shops.
Crustaceans, Shellfish, Worms and Squid
Stripers also like many types of crustaceans and will take these as live bait regularly. Baits within this category include a variety of species of crab, shrimp and especially lobster. Clams, oysters and scallops also make good striper bait, as do both blood worms and sandworms. Squid, either whole or as cut bait, also works well.

The emotional challenges faced by advisors during this time have taken their toll. Over the last couple of years, advisors needed to address their own emotional states, notes Keith Whitaker, PhD, President and Founder of Wise Counsel Research, who has considerable direct experience in working with wealthy families on their financial and personal issues. In his additional role of consultant to advisors, he has observed a growing need for them to gain balance in their lives with all of the pressures they encounter. He suggests that advisors pursue ongoing intellectual and emotional development as well as positive social networks made up of people who motivate them and allow them to remain determined even when facing adversity. "One of the things that I really had to work on with advisors was what kind of social environment they have created for themselves," he recalls. "If they're hanging out with other people who are saying, 'the world's going end, my business is failing, and I feel so bad about my clients'--that's not going to support their own resilience."
Whitaker also sees wealth advisors as needing to understand themselves and their inner drivers, as well as their clients'. "I think it's really critical to ask yourself the question: why do you want to work with wealthy people?" he notes. "Is it because you think it's 'cool'--do you want to be part of the posse? Is it because you think you can influence them toward the things that you believe in? Is it because you really enjoy the role of service? ...I think it's critical [to know the answer] in doing this kind of job well."

Description info for Nutramedix for pathogens by Js.mom ..... Lyme (Lime) Disease Forum
Date: 1/22/2010 6:06:26 PM ( 5y ago)
seriously, only start with one drop of Samento and work up.
Some of the beneficial properties of Samento are attributed to the pentacyclic oxindole
alkaloids (POAs) that are found in the plant that act on the cellular immune system and
demonstrate powerful immune system modulating properties. Samento does not contain the
tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that are found in traditional Cats Claw. TOAs disrupt
central nervous system function and greatly inhibit the effects of the POAs.
Some researchers believe that Samento may be as much as 1,000 times more effective than
Cats Claw. One difference between Samento and Cats Claw is that Cats Claw is an immune
system stimulant and Samento is an immune system modulator. Also, Samento can be used to
treat all autoimmune disorders.
In May 2005, pharmacological studies were conducted in laboratory rodents at the University of
Guayaquil, Ecuador. The anti-inflammatory effect study showed that Nutramedix Samento
extract inhibits inflammation by 83.8%.
For Detox pathways:
GROUND MATRIX DETOX
The herb in Burbur has been traditionally used for its body cleansing properties. It is very
effective in aiding detoxification of the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and the ground matrix.
Burbur is commonly used in conjunction with antimicrobials produced by Nutramedix like
Samento, Quina and Cumanda. Many health care professionals have reported that Burbur can
be used in place of 5 detoxification remedies. In many cases a significant healing crisis
(Herxheimers reaction) can be dramatically reduced or eliminated with the frequent use of
Burbur, approximately every 10 minutes.
IMMUNE SYSTEM MODULATOR
Cumanda is very effective in treating the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria and practitioners are
now using it in conjunction with Samento to treat Lyme Borrelisosis. Lyme Borreliosis has
been linked to hundreds of medical conditions. Many researchers and physicians believe
that Lyme Borreliosis may be a factor in most chronic conditions.
One of the most impressive benefits of Cumanda is its antifungal action. Physicians report
that it is effective in treating many difficult to treat fungi including Mycosis fungoides,
Candida krusei, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, to name a few.
In May 2005, pharmacological studies were conducted in laboratory rodents at the
University of Guayaquil in Ecuador. In an Anti-inflammatory Effect Study the Nutramedix
Cumanda inhibited inflammation by 97%. It was compared with Pfizers best selling and
very toxic anti-inflammatory drug, Feldene (Piroxicam), which inhibited inflammation by
In another pharmacological study conducted in laboratory rodents at the University of
Guayaquil in Ecuador, Nutramedix Cumanda was determined to be 86% as effective as
aspirin as an analgesic.
Quina has been used for centuries by native South Americans to treat a number of illnesses
including malaria, cancer, fever, dysentery, typhoid, pneumonia, etc. It was one
of the first South American medicinal plants to become known outside of the Americas.
It was first used in Europe in the mid- 1600s and recognized by the British
Pharmacopoeia in 1677. Quinine, one of the four alkaloids in Quina known to have
antimalarial properties, has been used to produce medicines to treat malaria for nearly
Quina is utilized by some health care professionals in the U.S. as an important component
of a Lyme disease protocol. It has been found to be very effective in treating
Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria the causes Lyme disease, Babesia and many of the coinfections
that are usually associated with this condition.
BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIVIRAL
BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIFUNGAL
BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBACTERIAL
BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIPARASITIC
Banderol is very effective against Borrelia burgdorferi and the common co-infections in
Lyme disease. Banderol also kills some fungi that Cumanda does not.
Some MICROBES treated by BANDEROL: Anaerobic and Aerobic rods and cocci (many),
Aspergillus (some), Babesia, Bartonella, Borrelia, Candida (some), Chlamydia,
Cytomegalovirus, Encephalitis viruses (some), Hepatitis viruses (some), Human Papilloma
Viruses (some), Mucor (some), Mycoplasma, Mycosis fungoides, Protozoal parasites
(many), Rickettsia (including Coxiella and Erlichia)
Some CONDITIONS treated by BANDEROL: Acute and Chronic prostatitis, Acute and
Chronic respiratory tract infections (many), Acute and Chronic sinusitis, Asthma,
Atherosclerotic disease, Cellulitis, Food poisoning, Lyme disease, Parkinsons disease,
Psoriasis, Thrush, Urinary tract infections (many), Vaginal infections
(for bartonella too)
Houttuynia cordata is a Chinese medicinal herb that is found throughout Eastern Asia. It has been used
traditionally to treat various types of infections, inflammation, hypertension, sinusitis, pulmonary tuberculosis,
etc. Dr. James Schaller has found Houttuynia to be effective against Bartonella in vitro and in vivo and Dr.
Lee Cowden has found Houttuynia to be effective against Bartonella clinically in patients who have resistant
strains of Bartonella.
SELECTED STUDIES PUBLISHED FROM 2003 TO 2009:
Biological and antibacterial activities of the natural herb Houttuynia cordata water extract against the
intracellular bacterial pathogen salmonella within the RAW 264.7 macrophage - Conclusion: H. cordata is
stable and beneficial in the treatment of bacterial infection including intracellularly replicating pathogens and
may solve antimicrobial misuse and overuse.
Down-regulation of FcepsilonRI expression by Houttuynia cordata Thunb extract in
human basophilic KU812F cells - Conclusion: These results suggest that H. cordata extract
may exert its anti-allergic activity through down-regulation of FcepsilonRI expression and a
subsequent decrease in histamine release.
Anti-enterovirus 71 activity screening of chinese herbs with anti-infection and
inflammation activities - Conclusion: H. cordata extract has antiviral activity, and it offers
a potential to develop a new anti-EV71 agent.
Immunomodulatory and anti-SARS activities of Houttuynia cordata - Conclusion: The
results of this study provided scientific data to support the efficient and safe use of H.
cordata to combat severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Antioxidative activity, polyphenolic content and anti-glycation effect of some Thai

The Mayo Clinic has published research proving that chronic sinusitis is caused by an underlying
fungal infection in the sinuses with a superimposed bacterial infection. Only the acute superimposed
bacterial infection is eliminated when a patient is treated with a standard pharmaceutical
antibacterial; the underlying chronic fungal infection in the sinuses is not addressed. BARBERRY
addresses both the bacterial and fungal infections.
Many patients that have asthma and bronchospastic disease have chronic sinusitis or chronic bronchitis
as an underlying cause. Since BARBERRY addresses the underlying infectious causes
so well, it usually helps resolve the bronchospasm and asthma. Many practitioners have also
found that atherosclerotic disease appears to be primarily an infectious disease caused by
bacteria, fungi and sometimes viruses; those practitioners have found BARBERRY to be
very helpful in resolving the infection which then causes the atherosclerosis to diminish and
resolve. BARBERRY effectively treats Chlamydia pneumoniae, mycoplasma, many herpes
viruses of different types and mucor; peer-reviewed literature states that all of these are
known to cause atherosclerotic disease.
In 2004, a study performed at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia confirmed both
antifungal and antibacterial properties of Mahonia aquifolium. Published studies confirm

Elecampane contains inulin, a phytochemical that coats and soothes the lining of the bronchial passages and
acts as an expectorant in the body. Inulin helps promote beneficial intestinal bacteria, very important since
80% of the immune system is located in the digestive system. Studies have also shown two other active
ingredients in elecampane, alantolactone and isoalantolactone, to be useful in treating parasites, including
roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, and threadworm; this research supports the traditional use of
elecampane to treat digestive disorders and parasitic infections. It has also been reported that Enula is
effective against certain species of Babesia, a parasite commonly associated with Borreliosis (Lyme disease).
Elecampane root and rhizome contain approximately 14% volatile oils. Most of these volatile oils are
composed of sesquiterpene lactones, including alantolactone. Elecampane is also very high in inulin (44%)
and mucilage. Most herbal texts attribute the actions of elecampane to alantolactone. The antitussive (cough
prevention and treatment) and carminative (intestinal tract soothing) effects of elecampane,
however, may possibly be due to the inulin and mucilage content.
In a 1:1000 dilution Elecampane kills the parasitic worm Ascaris in 16 hours. Alantolactone
has an anti-inflammatory action, it also reduces mucous secretions and stimulates the
In late 2007, researchers at Cork Institute of Technology, in Cork, Ireland reported that
Elecampane kills the potentially fatal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Extracts from two plants were tested against a group of 300 staphylococci including MRSA
and Elecampane proved 100% effective against the superbug.
A group of researchers from India published a study in September 2008 reporting on the anti-helminthic
(intestinal worm anti-parasitic) activity of Yarrow. The in vitro study revealed a very significant effectkilling
94.4% of intestinal worms. The in vivo (sheep) portion of the study reported an 88.4% reduction
in nematode egg count. The results from this study appear to support reports from
physicians regarding the beneficial effects of Mora in the treatment of parasites such as
Babesia that are commonly found in patients suffering from Lyme disease (Borreliosis).
These are some of the medicinal benefits of Yarrow confirmed by studies published since

James Howenstine, MD and other medical doctors report that the Nutramedix Noni extract can
eliminate the symptoms associated with colds and flu within 3 to 4 hours.
In early 2005, physicians at an Eastern European clinic administered Nutramedix Noni extract
to patients with acute viral infections. All physicians reported rapid elimination of symptoms.
Practitioners using the product have found that TAKUNA given every hour

#3 Emancipation of-from Labor
1. History continues. This is a worrisome fact that we can no longer ignore. In the current situation, it is useful to re-examine the old Marxist axiom of the proletariat’s assumption of its role as an historical subject. What does the proletariat mean today? Which changes has this class gone through? And who can, at present, pretend toward the role of a historical subject?
2. Marx was always eager to relate revolutionary changes in industry to the impending political revolution. To him, it was clear that the steam-engine and other technical innovations of the 18th century contributed more to the revolution of social life than the most prominent political event. In more recent times, it is obvious that the character of labour itself has changed radically, becoming less and less material. More and more people are involved in productive processes whose essence differs fundamentally from classical industrialist production.
A film by Dmitry Vilensky based on the action in public space realized by the workgroup Chto Delat?
A group of Saint-Petersburg artists, intellectuals, and writers came out into one of the central city squares, to become, for a while, the
“sandwichmen” and “sandwichwomen”. Each of them put on two advertising signs. The front one was empty. Language on strike. On the rear sign there were written various puzzling questions concerning the meaning and dignity of labour. The sandwichmen and sandwichwomen were handling newspapers to the passers by. The newspapers were also empty, except for their last page, where all the questions were listed together.
The film is based on the video material of these action and also include the fragments of the interviews made with real the “sandwichmen” and
“sandwichwomen” on the streets of Petersburg that reflects their descriptions of their working conditions and their place in society and
the questions put on placards:
Are you being exploited?
Are you exploiting somebody?
Is exploitation inevitable?
Did you dream of this job when you were a child?
Is work a woman thing?
Is work a man thing?
Is work a common thing?
Does work make you free?
Your boss needs you?
Your team needs you?
Your president needs you?
Who needs you anyway?
Who does not work, is not?
Are you afraid of the authorities?
Are the authorities afraid of you?
Let us be afraid together?
Happiness through labour?
Happiness through money?
How much does happiness cost?
In the beginning is the scream. We scream.When we write or when we read, it is easy to forget that the beginning is not the word, but the scream. Faced with the mutilation of human lives by capitalism, a scream of sadness, a scream of horror, a scream of anger, a scream of refusal: NO.
John Holloway, Change the world without taking power
The films shows different way of almost all existing traditional demonstration’s chanting slogans in Europe. Due to the cut of the film this activity in film is shown in condenssed, almost comic form mixing moment of pure exaltation and concentration. In the construction of the installation this activity sympolise the role of multitude with its features based on affects, linguistic production and virtuosity in action.
A film by Dmitry Vilensky (2003) part of the installation “Negation of Negation”
This film is a characteristic example of the video documentaries that Vilensky has shot in St Petersburg, Moscow and Berlin. In this case, he focuses on workers on a car assembly line in Nizhnyi Novgorod. The monotonous gallery of images is interrupted by shots of people leaving the building somehow too quickly. The context demonstrates that they are workers in the same factory, now going home from work. However, the scenes are more reminiscent of Hollywood disaster films with people running out of a skyscraper where a time bomb is ticking away: the building contains a machine that will destroy the existing order.
from Ekaterina Degot | The art of sabotage published at the catalogue of the exhibition “Faster than Histor”, KIASMA, 2004
This film was projected onto the front of the installation.
It was made in the Gorky Automobile Plant in Nizhny Novgorod, which was build in 1929 by Henry Ford and has since been Russia’s leading car manufacturer.
In ‘Production Line,’ it was important for me to reflect the most basic work activity (work on an assembly line), forcing the audience to look at workers once again after a long break. Approaching the proletariat is important on a symbolic level; in a society dominated by financial speculation and service, the notion of physical labor itself has been forced to the periphery, but work goes on, and never really vanished from post-capitalist society.
The film is based on the parallel montage of the faces and hands of the workers who work on the assembly line on the one hand, and total shots of the factory entrance, as workers leave the factory during the changing shift.It is important to note that the film focuses on conveying the tension involved in the work process, which becomes especially clear if you compare their faces during work and after work. Though work on the assembly is obviously mechanical and demeaning, we can see that the worker gains dignity through concentration and communication while working. At the same time, when the workers leave the factory, they lose their individual quality and become a grey, faceless mask. (D.V.)

Paris La Villette – Le Trabendo – 14 Nov – 14h-17h
We all agree to the fact that we want to fight capital and renew the world. But I think this ain’t conceivable as a poetical process. Because the name ”multitude“ is not a poetical notion, but a class concept. When I talk about multitude as a class concept, I talk about the fact that workers today work in the same and in different ways compared to those they worked some centuries ago. The working class and its class composition are quite different in the distinct periods that followed each other since the beginning of the industrial age.

The working class and its class composition are quite different in the distinct periods that followed each other since the beginning of the industrial age.
The problem of class in contemporary society is one of the most common and wide-spread rebukes hurled at the Left. “Where are your classes? Show us the oppressed class, the class with that special historical potential, the class that might become a revolutionary subject!” Some of the Left’s representative will answer argumentatively, that the working class was re-dislocated in the process of the international division of labour. Others still might also say that post-industrialism has, in a certain (medial, ideological) way, displaced the theme of production, and with it, the worker, from its society of consumers. For some reason, the opponents of the Left never ask question as to the ruling class of today. Maybe this is because the answers are more than obvious: today’s heavy-weight bourgeoisie has long since lost any semblance of humility, as their appearance in the mass-media takes on the splendour of a religious ceremony. If big business marks itself so openly, opposing itself to the rest of society, its totality cannot help but produce an oppressed class. In this society, everyone belongs to the proletariat, which is separated from the upper classes by an ever-widening gulf that seems impossible to breach. Distributed unevenly, the normalizing anaesthesia of “prosperity” only serves to hide a growing class distance, which we are no capable of imagining in any clear form.
Alexey Penzin (A.P.): How did your project begin? With which ideological orientations is it connected?
antijob 1: The site antijob.nm.ru is one of the projects of the group Autonomous Action, represented by the journal “Avtonom” (on the web: www.avtonom.ru ). Our ideology is more or less anarachist. When we founded Autonomous Action, we didn’t want to use the term “anarchism”, because we felt that today the word “anarchy” was a loaded term with negative connotations. The idea of antijob has been around since some time in the year 2000. We publish compromising material, which exposes companies that injure the rights of their employees. That is, somebody was hired by some company, which then let him down in some way, so now the person describes this experience and publishes it on our site. Aside from this material, our site also contains many theoretical texts, including critical theories of the capitalist system of hired labour, consumerism, the society of the spectacle etc.
The organisation of labour has indeed damned changed from the 18th century until now, as well as the political and technical class composition; and also the way the class builds up its class consciousness is extremely different. If we use the concept of working class and the concept of organisation of labour homogeneously and uniquely well be mistaken profoundly.
I think that after 68 and with the beginning of the neo-liberal counterrevolution the structure of organising labour and in consequence the organisation, the making of class composition has changed profoundly.
The factory stays no longer in the centre of value production. The value is created by putting to work the whole of society. We call multitude all the workers who are put to work inside society to create profit. We consider all the workers in the whole of society to be exploited, men, women, people who work in services, people who work in nursing, people who work in linguistic relations, people who work in the cultural field, in all of the social relations, and in so far as they are exploited we consider them part of the multitude, inasmuch as they are singularities. We see the multitude as a multiplicity of exploited singularities. The singularities are singularities of labour; anyone is working in different ways, and the singularity is the singularity of exploited labour.
In the early 60s Negri joined the editorial group of Quaderni Rossi , a journal that represented the intellectual rebirth of Marxism in Italy outside of the realm of the communist party. The philosophical framework developed in the context of the journal came to be known as ” operaismo ” (workerism) and one of its central political concepts was “the refusal of work,” which did not refer to a refusal of creative or productive activity but rather a refusal of work within the established capitalist relations of production.
In the 1970s, Negri’s work continued to focus on labor, but the primary site of analysis shifted outside of the factory walls. Earlier Negri and his colleagues had centered their analyses on the working class (by which they understood male industrial factory workers), but now they developed a broader notion of proletariat that was meant to refer to all those whose labor is commanded and exploited under the rule of capital. They conceived their analyses and practices as moving out of the factory and into society. In these years Negri developed a theory of the “social worker” that tried to grasp the new subjective figure of social production and revolt. In effect, this intellectual project drew into question the conceptual division posed by the traditional Marxist conceptions of productive and unproductive or productive and reproductive labor along with the traditional political divisions between waged workers, unwaged workers, and the unemployed. The primary political consequence of these theories was to recognize all the various figures of social production, the entire proletariat conceived in this broad sense, as capable of revolt. Negri’s theoretical work in this period culminated in Marx Beyond Marx, a reinterpretation of Marx’s work that extended it beyond the limits of Marx’s own time and vision.
DR: As I was preparing for our conversation, I hit upon a link to a text “Justification of Art or the End of Intelligentsia”, written for “Flash Art” in 1996. Yet I was both disappointed and intrigued to find that this link was dead: I was only able to find its ephemeral digital artefacts. I thought this dead link as a point of departure for our conversation on intellectual labour. In how far do you see the crisis of the Russian intelligentsia during the 1990s as a concession to the ephemeral production of “concepts” and “projects”, which very soon lose their meaning? And does the fact that the link is dead mean that your views from 5 years ago have lost any of their original significance?
VM: As far as I can remember, the text you’re talking about provoked the enthusiasm of Marat Guelman. I don’t know whether Marat actually read the text or not, but he immediately became enthused with the term “post-intellectual”. He wanted to translate the text into Russian, and to publish it on his site, which is probably how the link appeared. But his interest faded as quickly as it came up, which might be why the link died very soon. This situation is very symptomatic and brings me to your question.
My view then was that Russia’s “thinking class” had departed from the idea of the “intelligentsia” without ever identifying itself with the conception of the intellectual (in the sense of Sartre). By the early 1990s, the dissident intelligentsia’s conception of intellectual labour had already become the subject of wide-spread criticism in the press, and the figure of the “intellectual” was something that was hardly understood or understood intuitively, but rejected as inappropriate to the social perspectives of neo-liberal reform. Members of the post-intelligentsia and pseudo-intellectuals opted for media that were far more fast-paced and, at the same time, more socially effective. This gave their “intellectual labour” a new temporality: it was necessary to work quickly, more superficially, with great flexibility. Determined by an exalted metaphysical view of money and an ethos of “standing up for one’s right to proper pay”, this new form of “post-intellectual” labour demanded a certain kind of anti-fundamentalism and plasticity, an ability to adjust to new tasks, epitomized most compactly by the political technologist. Such highly talented individuals are willing to sell their intellectual services to political groups or leaders with views that differ drastically from his-her own. By now, Russia’s political technologies have actually become one of Russia’s main export goods, although they have very little in common with the quality of a classical European intellectual’s products; the European intellectual’s production actually means something because it is firmly based in a ethos of convictions. This is something that the “post-intellectual” has not reached. Е ven if the neo-liberals organized rock-concerts and commercials on TV; “post-intellectual” production has not yet established one serious analytical or scholarly institution. Furthermore, what makes me wary is that all the deconstructions of the intelligentsia’s codex were quite obviously motivated by the authorities: in the situation of ethical relativism, as the critical senses of the “thinking class” dulled to the point of social dissolution, it was much easier to conduct radical reforms and whole-sale privatization.
In the ancient world, there was no such concept as ‘work’ that would have covered creative self-expression and earning one’s daily bread. Work was seen not as a means of self-improvement but as a drudgery – after all, it took away from important things such as politics or philosophy. Even Christianity cast work as a punishment: banished from Paradise, we are obliged to eat our bread in the sweat of our brow. Industriousness was not a pathway to salvation.
The Protestant work ethic, i.e. seeing work as a personal struggle for salvation, did not emerge until the early days of capitalism, at which point the productive use of time by the small entrepreneur became the ideal. The secular ascetic described by Benjamin Franklin gained his pleasure from gathering a fortune, not spending it as in the good life of Antiquity.
The indignation of Marxists drew upon the pre-industrial independence of the craftsman, but they nevertheless admired centralized production, which was at that time putting an end to the business of small independent producers. Modernization, from the point of view of liberals and Marxists alike, and for better or worse, means that production exists primarily for trade, not for self-sustenance. Marx said that work was productive only when it produced a return on investment in a system where work and ownership were segregated.
Hannah Arendt felt that Marx demoted human beings to toiling animals whose only options were productive slavery and unproductive freedom. Marx eulogized work as the highest ideal and preached liberation from its servitude.
If you lived in what was once the Soviet Union, you might remember the official slogans and images that glorified the working class. You will probably also remember the wide-spread, mutual antipathy between workers and intellectuals which accompanied such glorifications.
To the intellectual of those times, the representative of a broad section of Soviet society, the worker contemptuously called by the nickname of “hegemon” (1) was a poorly educated, lazy slob, an embezzler and a crook, who tyrannized the poor intellectual for seventy-some odd years. In contrast, the Soviet worker understood anyone with a higher education as a useless mama’s boy, looking for the easy life; his social-productive existence as a parasite on the proletarian body could not be justified in any way. In this sense, one can understand why there was hardly any after-hours contact between workers and intellectuals during the Soviet era. Today, the officious proletarian pathos of the Soviet type has become a part of the past, along with its mythology of the working class. From this perspective, it has become interesting to examine the origins of its visualization.
Oxana Timopheeva (O.T.): Your book “The Uprising of the Middle Class” is a great example how a thorough socio-economic analysis of contemporary globalized capitalism can be combined with the proof of its poor chances for survival
Boris Kagarlitsky (B.K.): The conclusions drawn in this book are very simple: the core of resistance in our time is not to be found in the hungry masses, but in the middle class. I attempt to show that there are, in fact, neither losers nor winners. The system constantly reconfigures its social and professional structures. A person who makes a lot of money is also a victim of exploitation, sometimes even more so than somebody who is poorly paid.
O.T. As far as I understand, your book talks about the fact that we are witnessing a systemic crisis. The old industrial relationships of global capitalism come into conflict with the new forces of production, developing through the advent of high technology.

Carrying a provocative ambiguity which incited confusion, the Art Strike reintroduced a whole range of issues centred around questions of strategy, recuperation, and the relation between culture and politics.” Sadie Plant “The Most Radical Gesture, (Routledge, London and New York, 1992)
“The Art Strike proves that doing nothing is often more productive than desperately seeking fame and fortune“. Stewart Home, 1993
We call for all artists to put down their tools and cease to make, distribute, sell, exhibit or discuss their work from January 1, 1990 to January 1, 1993. We call for all galleries, museums, agencies, alternative spaces, periodicals, theaters, art schools etc., to cease all operations for the same period.
Art production has been mystified and co-opted; its practitioners have become manipulable and marginalized through self-identification with the term “artist” and all it implies.
To call one person an artist is to deny another an equal gift of vision; thus the myth of the “genius” becomes an ideological justification for inequality and repression. What an artist considers to be his or her identity is a schooled set of attitudes; preconceptions which imprison humanity in history. It is the roles derived from these identities, as much as the art products mined from this reification, which we must reject.
1. Labour is, first of all, the free creativity of people working together. Second, labour is the human being’s communication with a resistant thing or with a foreign, external human will. Third of all, labour is a means of delaying the satisfaction of human desire in favour of executing an entire series of technical and ritual operations. Fourth, labour is the illusion or hallucination of having absolute power over a thing, of being able to bring it to life, of being able to make it human.
2. So actually, there’s freedom and non-freedom in labour. In addition to the work that you do to feed yourself, the work to which you are accustomed, the work for which you have a system of technical rules, you are also faced with work that is apparently unnecessary, which you only do because you have spare time. Something happens, even if we simply freeze many games include coming to a full stop, cops and robbers, for an instance. When we work because there is little else to do, it will seem to us that we are playing, but later, they will tell us that our game was useful, which is how play becomes duty. However, without free, jubilant work, necessary work would never be able to exist.

New browsers might be hatched almost every day, but new browsers that sound like a sandwich one might find in Philadelphia—and that everybody seems to be talking about—don't. What is RockMelt?
It's a browser...
As you might guess when you fire up RockMelt for the first time, it's a browser built on top of Chromium—the open source project that powers Google Chrome. Which means RockMelt is really, really fast, even with all of the sharing stuff on top of it. In fact, it's kind of like Chrome, but with super-duper extensions for Facebook and Twitter.
...with some interesting backers...
The big name behind RockMelt is Marc Andreessen—you might remember him as the founder of Netscape, the loser of the Great Browser War, when it was obliterated by the Dark Lord IE.
...that's built for sharing...
RockMelt's centered around sharing links with your friends. In practice, it's like having Facebook built into your browser. In fact, every time you start up RockMelt, it logs into your Facebook account. (Twitter is optional.)
On the left side, there's a Facebook buddy list, populated with your favorite Facebook friends for dragging links to share, chatting or checking their latest updates. The address bar is the biggest departure from Chrome: There's a giant share button for posting to Facebook or Twitter, and the separate search box drops down the results in a list—flicking through each with the down arrow, you can quickly preview the site for each search result. On the right, there's a collection of feeds, like Twitter, your Facebook newsfeed and your favorite sites.
It's the Facebook browser, in effect, since most of the convenience is for quickly posting stuff on, communicating through or scanning Facebook.
...and it could be the future of web browsing...
Like it or not, in RockMelt, you can see the beginnings of a true social browser, one that'll more deeply integrate lots of different social services, from StumbleUpon to Flickr, and hopefully blend them together in a way that works. Given that more and more of the stuff we read and watch online comes from social networks, it seems obvious that the next step is to build that into the browser.
It's not hard to imagine one day seeing what all of your friends are browsing in real time without having to manually "share" anything, or watching crazy YouTube videos together. For now though, RockMelt's just a handy browser for serious Facebook and Twitter addicts who don't mind a little extra clutter in their browser window and the constant threat of procrastination.
...that you can try right now.
You can sign up for early access to RockMelt right here.

Poor Matty did not start the new year in good shape. All the drinking and cigars was not a good choice for him. I had to practically drag him to the airport to get our flight to Langkawi.
When we got to Langkawi, it was a dream. We were staying on the southern part of the island. The resort was lush and green. Our hotel room opened up to the pool area. The pool area had a swim up bar. The whole place was situated right next to a private beach! Unbelievable. We spent the day taking advantage of the facilities.
That night, we hired a scooter (for the whole stay) and scooted into the main street to check out the surroundings and grab some dinner.
Our second day was spent relaxing at the resort, checking out the main street (during the day this time), and filling ourselves with delicious Malaysian food.
Day three in Langkawi was a snorkeling trip! A tour company booked through the resort took us out to a little reef. They provided all the gear needed to snorkel. There was a lot of fish, but reef was very very damaged/dead, so it was a bit sad.
That night we met up with a German couple at our resort, and had dinner and drinks with them. It was a great night full of delicious seafood, drinks on a beach bar and even a hookah.
The following day we went out on another tour, this time on a jetski. We decided on a double jetski to save a bit of money. Off we went to explore the archipelago, stopping first at Dayang Bunting Island. This island has a fresh water lake within – the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden. A beautiful spot where you can have a swim or go exploring on a paddle boat. The island was also home to monkeys! This was the first time I got to see wild monkeys… it was a little daunting.
The second spot was a secret swimming location with amazing scenery. We just stopped the jetskis and jumped on in! The water was bliss.
Next came some exploring and a free run through the islands. This was when the double jetski backfired. The water had become choppy and it became hard to hold on and steady myself. I was continuously bashing into Matt with every wave. Talk about boob discomfort. And then, whilst free-riding, Matt rolled the jetski. I was OVER IT.
Our third stop was on a private beach, where we could relax and soak up some sun. Instead, we were chased away by a monkey.
Once we got back and dried off, we scooted to the main city, Kuah to check out Eagle Square.
That night we visited a night market for dinner. Weird meat on a stick… stir fry served in plastic bags and eaten with hands… Matt didn’t last long, and we had to rush back to the hotel to deal with his “Malaysia Belly”.
Our last day in Langkawi we met up with our travel agent and went fishing with him and his mate. They were good fun, and had a great sense of humour. The only fish we caught were tiny, but they insisted we keep them. I wasn’t a fan of that, but that’s the way they do things in Malaysia I guess. I caught more fish, but Matt caught the biggest one.
We had a late flight to our next stop… Kota Kinabalu.

Saint Peregrine Laziosi
Another Saint of the Day for May 4
Saint Peregrine Laziosi’s Story
Born in Forli, Italy, Peregrine is the patron saint of persons suffering from cancer, AIDS and other serious diseases.
As a young man, he was a member of an anti-papal party until he encountered Saint Philip Benizi, the head of the Servite order, who had been sent to try to reconcile the divided community. While trying to preach in Forli, Philip was heckled and even struck by Peregrine, who was overcome by momentary political fervor. But that moment also changed Peregrine. He began to channel his energies in new directions, engaged in good works and eventually joined the Servites in Siena and went on to be ordained a priest. Returning to his hometown, he founded a new Servite house there and became well known for his preaching and holiness, as well as his devotion to the sick and poor.
One of the special penances he imposed on himself was standing whenever it was not necessary to sit. Over time, Peregrine developed varicose veins and, in turn, cancer of the foot. The wound became painful and diseased and all medical treatment failed. The local surgeon determined amputation of the leg was called for.
Tradition has it that the night before surgery was scheduled, Peregrine spent much time in prayer before the crucified Jesus, asking God to heal him if it was God’s will to do so. Falling asleep at one point, Peregrine had a vision of the crucified Jesus leaving the cross and touching his cancerous leg. When Peregrine awoke, the wound was healed and his foot and leg, seemingly miraculously cured, were saved. He lived another 20 years.
Peregrine was canonized in 1726.
Peregrine got his miracle. His cancer was cured even as the doctors prepared to amputate his foot. But Peregrine had already experienced a more important healing. A softening of his heart rechanneled all his energy into the service of the Gospel. Most of us pray fervently if not for a miracle, at least for some need that lies close to our hearts. And so we should, for God cares about our concerns. But no prayer would please God more than to ask that we might experience an ongoing softening of our hearts.
Saint Peregrine Laziosi is the Patron Saint of:

Beyond the Book of Chronicles
Brandeis professor takes Jewish scholarship where it has seldom gone: into the New Testament.
It may not come as any great revelation that Christians and Jews might differ in their interpretations of the Bible. What is more surprising is that two Jewish scholars, Marc Z. Brettler ’78, Ph.D.’86, the Dora Golding Professor of Biblical Studies at Brandeis, and Amy-Jill Levine of Vanderbilt University, should spend four years poring over the New Testament to analyze the ways the Jewish and Christian Bibles not only differ but agree.
The result of that study, “The Jewish Annotated New Testament,” includes essays by more than 30 contributors, all Jews. And, soaring beyond the response the publishers at Oxford University Press expected, the book shot to number 31 on Amazon’s top 100 best-sellers list after its release last fall. In the specific areas of “Bible and Other Sacred Texts” and “Christian Reference,” it ranked number 1. Following favorable coverage in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Christian Science Monitor and USA Today, Oxford had to arrange for several reprint editions.
Brettler had scored an earlier hit with his 2004 project, “The Jewish Study Bible,” which drew a wide array of Jewish scholars together to comment in a single text. In a telephone interview from Jerusalem, where he is on leave teaching and writing a commentary on the Book of Psalms, he said the success of the earlier volume signaled to him that the time was ripe for a long, close look at the New Testament by Jewish scholars.
“I was convinced,” he said, “that it was possible, even desirable, to be a religious person while being inspired by religious traditions other than your own. I am deeply moved, for example, by Paul’s words in the New Testament’s 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, where he says, ‘Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.’”
While some Jewish commentators — including a reviewer on Amazon who admitted to not having read the book — objected to what they erroneously thought was an attempt to convert Jews to Christianity, Brettler said his purpose was not to argue the veracity or error of either tradition, but rather to increase neighbors’ understandings of one another’s faiths. “Christians,” he commented, “can benefit from understanding the Jewish roots of their own tradition. At the same time, most U.S. Jews have a poor knowledge of the New Testament, but it is too important a book in American culture for Jews to shy away from. If there is to be progress in Jewish-Christian relations, it is crucial to have a useful resource that highlights the Jewish background of the New Testament, issues of anti-Judaism, and the history of the split between Christianity and Judaism.”
What surprises emerged?
“I was most surprised,” Brettler responded, “by the strong sense of continuity between the two books and the sheer volume of similarities between the New Testament and rabbinic writings. I had known how Jewish some of the Gospels sounded, especially Matthew, but I was surprised at how Jewish in style and argument some of Paul’s letters are. I also was struck, in editing the annotations and essays, by the existence of cross-reference after cross-reference of New Testament text to either the Hebrew Bible or rabbinic literature.”
Seizing on a specific example of concurrence, Brettler noted that most Jews think of original sin — the belief that babies are born into the world with the stain of guilt already on their souls and must be cleansed through baptism — as an exclusively Christian notion. But in reading the text, Brettler was struck by the similarity to a passage in the Jewish Bible, where, in Psalms 51:7 (English 5), it says, “Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me.”
The most satisfying part of the past several months’ experience, the professor added, was the realization that the book had struck a chord with many non-scholarly readers from both Christian and Jewish traditions. “It was gratifying,” he said, “to see that there continues to be a strong interest in religion in America, and that this interest is finally becoming broader. Jews are becoming interested in Christianity, and Christians in Judaism. I will be delighted if this book plays some role in that expanding interest.”

- Strategies to win back customers who have left the malls, big box, and other retail outlets for their mobile devices.
- How the behavior of mobile shoppers is different from both tethered online customers and from the traditional in store consumer.
- Techniques for winning back those customers, reconnecting with them, and regaining their long term loyalty.
- How to embrace mobile technology as a competitive advantage for your business, and place yourself in the forefront of the mobile shopping revolution.

The fast IC Bus of German Railways travels from Munich (München) to Milan (Milano / Mailand) via Como and Memmingen twice daily in seven hours. The direct bus – sometimes referred to as the Espresso Bus – is faster and cheaper than trains for travel between Bavaria and Lombardy. Tickets can be as cheap as €19.
Travel by IC Bus of German Railways
The IC Bus is an inter-city bus service operated by Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) on routes not always well covered by trains. Tickets for the IC Bus are often very cheap and may be reserved through any outlet selling normal Deutsche Bahn tickets including German Railways website.
As part of German Railways, the IC Bus has similar fare rules and travel discounts as regular long-distance Deutsche Bahn trains:
- Own children under 15 travel for free with parents – names must be added at time of reservations.
- BahnCard discounts are given.
- Discount fares are available for advance reservations – as cheap as €19 for travel from Munich to Milan.
- Connecting train rides may be booked on the same ticket with connection guarantees.
- Eurail and similar passes are accepted but seat reservations are essential.
The IC buses furthermore are amongst the most comfortable and luxurious of Germany’s long-distance coaches. The buses have free wifi and electrical sockets. Seats adjust and have legroom similar to trains. All buses are air-conditioned and have toilets. Drinks and small snacks may be bought on the bus (or bring own picnic.)
Seat reservations are essential for travel on IC Buses and always included in the advertised price.
The IC Bus from Munich to Milan
Buses provide the fastest and cheapest public transportation between Munich (München) in Germany and Milan (Milano / Mailand) in Italy. The IC Bus connects these two cities twice daily in just over 7 hours. En route the bus also stop in Memmingen and Como.
IC Bus tickets from Munich or Memmingen to Como or Milan can be as cheap as €19 on advance reservations while €24 is often available if booked a mere day in advance. The full-fare flexible ticket is closer to €150.
Train travel between Munich and Milan always require at least one transfer –the most comfortable connection is usually in Verona. Trains often take an hour longer than the bus and may be significantly more expensive. (The direct night train often has good deals too but is very slow if not booking a bed!)
Check IC Bus and train timetables online:
These timetables do not include bus services of other travel companies. Germany’s largest intercity bus operator, Flixbus, also has buses on the Munich to Milan route – avoid transfer and longer journeys.
IC Bus Stops on the Munich to Milan Route
The IC Bus of German Railways uses the following stops on the Munich to Milan route:
- Munich: München Hackerbrück ZOB near the Hauptbahnhof
- Memmingen: at the train station, note the bus stops on opposite sites of the street depending on direction of travel.
- Como: at Como S. Giovanni station
- Milan: at the Milano-Lampugnano bus station next to the metro of the same name.
Travel is not possible on the short stretches only – Como to Milan or Munich to Memmingen.

Ralph Fiennes is 55 years old today, and “to celebrate” the birthday of my favourite actor, I am doing this subjective list of his 5 best performances. Ralph is not only a great actor, he is super versatile. Whether it is a romantic hero in a sweeping drama; a disturbed individual in a psychological thriller; a true villain in a historic or adventure film; or simply a caricature of a man in a comedy; Ralph can nail any role with ease and grace. In no particular order:
1. Count Almásy – “The English Patient” (1996)
Anthony Minghella’s “The English Patient” was both a critical and box-office success, and will remain one of the most beautifully-rendered dramas ever. Part of the credit for this should go to its stars, and Ralph Fiennes here played Count László de Almásy (a role which landed him an Oscar nomination). This was a tricky role, because the hero was so imperfect. He is a multi-lingual cartographer, but, because of his origin, he is almost a man shrouded in mystery. We learn that, as a person, he can be selfish and very withdrawn, and, as a lover, very devoted, but also impulsive. He learns his lessons as circumstances in his life take a turn for the worse. Fiennes gives a very memorable performance as that man, and his romance with Katharine (Kristin Scott Thomas) is probably one of the screen’s most heart-breaking.

We discuss the procedures of navigation and map reading in Arma 2. These skills are crucial in advancing your ability to make plans. No matter your role, knowledge of the area before deploying is the first step to being able to successfully execute a mission — and more importantly — improvise out in the field.
The sniper team’s organization is simple and consists of two positions: a shooter and a spotter. Don’t let the wording fool you — both are trained shooters, referred to as snipers, and in most cases have a relationship that functions interchangeably and always complimentary.
Sniper rifles firing the 7.62mm round have a typical zero range of 800m. Because Arma simulates semi-realistic ballistics modeling, 800 or even 1200 meters is not the furthest distance you can engage. In this guide we explain the technique of extending the marks on your reticle for extreme long-range.
In certain scenarios, it is highly advantageous to direct multiple shooters to engage different targets (or the same targets) simultaneously. This tactic is often referred to as a “command fire” and is one of the most difficult sniper techniques to master especially true when you have more than one moving target.
While operating in a sniper team, the Projected Clock method is one of the most effective techniques for a spotter to call targets to a shooter.
The markings on your scope are not just for looks — learn the fundamentals behind being effective with holdover values. We cover the five different types of sniper scopes and their reticles featured on the sniper rifles of Arma 2.

It looks like there's a bit of trouble over at Wikia Search this morning.
The search portal, run by Wikia, the for-profit wiki service co-founded by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, was returning "Service Unavailable" error messages about 10 percent of the time, during a test I ran on both Firefox and Safari.
The rest of the time, the service seemed to be working mainly as it should, though from time to time, the search page would only partially load.
The error message would return when loading the Wikia Search home page, and read, "Error 503 Service Unavailable." It continued, "Guru Meditation:" and then "XID:" and a nine-digit string that changed each time I found it.
The site Pingdom.com reported earlier Wednesday morning that Wikia Search's problems had been happening since Monday, and were occurring about a third of the time, but my tests revealed that it wasn't that severe.
Pingdom.com also had a chart suggesting that the search site's uptime was only about 65 percent.
When the site's home page did run, it then returned search results with no problem.
In October, Valleywag reported that Wikia hadof its 43-person workforce.
A call to Wikia for comment wasn't immediately returned.

I wasn’t planning on doing a post for today, but I remembered I had to remind you folks about a very serious subject before this evening: Remember to leave porridge out for your nisse!
For those of you confused, allow me to explain. Growing up in a Norwegian-American family, Christmas time always herald the return of the nissen around the house. Atop pictures and amongst everyday items would be found tiny men wearing red stocking caps. Many resembled tiny Santa Clauses, but usually only because of their white beards and red caps. Others bore a resemblance to elves or gnomes. The more you looked, the more you saw of these little creatures. They were the nissen or “household elves.”
In Scandinavian folklore, they are magical beings who live in barns and watch over farms. Their real world origins lie in the pre-Christian notions of ancestor worship, but, like many other pagan aspects, the nissen hung around long after the Christianization of Scandinavia in folktales and cultural tradition. From the 1840s on, the nissen became associated with Christmas and are commonly found as household decorations or taking on the role of julenisse (Santa Claus) and therefore shamefully putting the Yule Goat out of a job (we’re a strange people, we of Scandinavian descent).
While the nisse was a helpful creature, he was easily insulted and offending a nisse could lead to serious calamities and even death around the farm. In order to keep your nisse happy, you’d best be sure to leave a bowl of porridge with a pat of butter on it out in the barn on Christmas Eve. Failing to do this simple task each year could have dangerous repercussions.
So, even if you’re not Scandinavian, Christian, or even a farmer, why take any chances? Leave a bowl of porridge out just in case you’ve got a nisse hanging around…
No. Enc: 1 (1d4 on rare occasions)
Movement: 150’ (50’)
Armor Class: 5
Hit Dice: 2+1
Attacks: 1 (fists)
Hoard Class: None (or porridge)
A nisse (plural: nisser or nissen) is magical creature resembling a short human male. Nisse stand between 6” and 3’ tall, dresses in homespun garments, often has a long white or grey beard, and always wears a red stocking cap. Nisse watch over farmsteads, primarily looking out for the livestock, but guarding the farmer and his family as well if treated properly. Some believe the nisse to be the physical reincarnation of the farm’s original owner come back to watch over his property. The nisse most often dwells in the barn, but can occasionally be found in attics and lofts, provided those spaces are not too tidy. A few especially adventurous nisser take up residence aboard ships and are known as a skibsnisse. Despite his small size, a nisse possesses incredible strength (STR of 18) and can easily manage large animals and big hay bales. As magical creatures, they are only affected by enchanted weapons and spells.
Like many other “house spirits,” nissen assist the farmer by tending to the farm’s animals and performing helpful tasks. As a solitary creature, the nisse does not like to be disturbed in his job and will likely attempt to drive away any who disrupt his duties by trickery or fright (blowing out candles and lanterns or hissing at the interloper from the dark are common responses). Those unwise enough not to let the nisse be can count on a good ear boxing or being evicted bodily from the barn. In worse case scenarios, a nisse can become invisible at will. The farmer’s dog is often tormented by the nisse until it learns to keep its distance from the little man.
So long as the nisse is not insulted (see below) and his privacy respected, he is a valuable ally to the farmer. However, should he ever be upset, the nisse will cause calamity around the farmstead. Small slights against a nisse might result in animals being moved in the night (often ending up in the strangest places), having their tails tied together, the tangling of tack and harnesses, or sometimes a sound beating at his tiny hands. If greatly offended, however, a nisse can sicken animals, cause crops to fail, or start small fires. Sometimes family members are even slain.
Nisse are very traditional creatures and do not respond well to change. Altering the farm or the way it is operated is a surefire way to offend him, as is rudeness, urinating in the barn, mistreating his animal charges, swearing, or spilling hot liquids without shouting a warning. The greatest insult to a nisse, however, is failing to leave a bowl of porridge out for him on the night of the winter solstice. A pat of butter is placed atop the porridge to ensure the nisse’s continued good will towards the farmer.

When you are onboarding new people it’s important that you sort job candidates and that you don’t attempt to sell them too hard on taking the job.
NOTABLE QUOTABLE – “One lesson I learned [at PayPal] is to fire people faster. That sounds awful, but I think if somebody is not working out, it’s best to part ways sooner rather than later. It’s a mistake to try too hard to make something work that really couldn’t work.” – Elon Musk (The man and the mind behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, etc.)
NOTABLE QUOTABLE – “Hire great people…this is 90 percent of the solution, as hiring wrong can cost you so much. We challenge our people leaders to hire people that are better than themselves, therefore making the company better with each hire.” – Elon Musk (The man and the mind behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, etc.)
“Because of the pressure that he puts on his entire executive team, his senior leadership team, even if they have the experience, they wouldn’t dare speak up against him,” one of the former employees said.” – https://www.businessinsider.com/ex-tesla-employees-reveal-what-its-like-work-elon-musk-2019-9#some-employees-were-afraid-of-him-1
rabbed the duct tape and mentally prepare yourself for yet another mind expanding knowledge bomb from America’s number one business coach. Clay Clark.
Yes. Yes, yes and yes. Jason, here we are on this Saturday morning at seven 48 in the morning. Here we are already today we have talked to a dry wall, a contractor to help him grow his business. True. We have talked with a restaurant in a beautiful satellite beach, Florida called morning glory. We have a connected with P M H O K. C a powerful Randy. Did I tell you, did I, did I tell you the good news that that happened in the last mm, 300 seconds. Have I told you that yet? If not educate me. Okay, here we go. Let’s see. We were just, we’re just outside burdensome pinion wood and I did not share with you cause you were on the phone collecting some payment information from somebody. And I did not tell you here it is Shaw homes this year, this year, this, this is up 362% for January.
Wow. Now we, we’ve grown shot from 37 million to 81 million over the past three years. That’s beautiful. But right now they’ve done 9.8 million so far this month. That’s insane. Last January they did 2.7 million in the last month of the year for home sales is January. I believe it. So they might be a $200 million company this year. Whew. That. And all I’m at, all I’m saying is Aaron antice, if you’re out there, I’m not, I’m not mad. I’m not bitter. But what I want is some Yeezys. So it’s the wheel will work for easiest program. I mean it’s the, it’s the least he could do. Yeah. So if you’re out there and your name’s Aaron anti-ice and you hear the show and you work at Shaw homes and you’re the marketing director and you are aware of the Epic success you’ve had this year, I don’t know. And I know you are because you just texted to me.
I want you to feel a tug at your heart. And I want you to buy me some ease and just know this. It’s real easy. You just buy them. The, the toe box for Yeezys is a little narrow. So you want to order at least one size bigger than clay wares. Get a 14. Yeah. This size 14 easy for me. Just tend to sit it over. Just ship that thing. It’s okay. My address in case you’re wondering, we want to ship that, let me just, you want to ship that to 1100 Riverwalk terrace. Suite number 100 and that’s in Jenks J E N K S, Oklahoma seven four zero three seven. So that’s it. If you’re out there listening to it and you feel compelled to also buy me a pair of Yeezys that is, we’ve had many business coach clients who’ve, who’ve bought me a, we’ve had Colton Dixon bought me some easy true.
We had the great guys over there at the DaVinci bought me some Yeezys. Oh, is that where the tan fair came from yet? I gave those to John. Those were sick. But I’m telling you what, if you feel the need right now to invest in my, in, in my health, you know, my, my foot health of the shoes are very comfortable. If you want me, if you want these podcasts to get better by about a 10th of a percent, you too can have the satisfaction. Now, if you buy me easy is what I will do is I commit, I will do an entire show about your business, about what makes your business great. Unless you have a business that’s not great. So if you’re a member of like Hezbollah or a member of some sort of terrorist organization, don’t mail me some easy thinking.
You can do that. Yeah, but a Island to me instead. There we go. Okay. So anyway, on today’s show we’re talking about sort, don’t sell. Find people that are the right fit and don’t show up square pegs into round holes. Again, sort, don’t sell. Find people that are the right fit and don’t shove square pegs into round holes. So step number one. Well, what are we talking about, Jason? If you ever had some seats, somebody who took a job at a place where they really didn’t fit in. Have you ever seen that happen where somebody, you know, or maybe even you, you took a job at a place and it’s a good place but it’s just not your place. Has that ever happened to you before? My job before elephant in the room, great, great company, amazing company. But I realized, you know, a year in, I should not be here.
Why? It was a culture wise. I did not like it. There was no overhead music. I was not allowed to listen to any music or podcasts even though there was nothing going on in the office. It was very gray and it was just terrible. Ah, I mean, you know, I was working at accounts payable so it’s really not like the most exciting job, but everything was so quiet and there was no, I mean there was no culture. I like noise. I like to listen to something while I’m plugging away. If I’m just typing on an Excel sheet and going through, you know, accounting software all day, I want something to keep me mentally engaged and not just, you know, zoning out. And it just, and after that too, I got my first promotion to realize I would go nowhere else there and I want to do that for the next decade of my life.
So let me give you an example. A winters and King, that’s my law firm. They’re smart people. You go to winter’s king.com winters, king.com. You can see these guys represent, I mean everybody from you know, TD Jakes to pastor Craig Rochelle to Joyce Meyer. Huge personalities, book deals, businesses. They’re awesome. But if you go up there, they have a whole floor of the city Plex tower and they are a great organization. It’s quiet all the time. And do you know why it’s quiet all the time up there? It winters andK , why is that? Cause their attorney, right? I mean, they’re their attorney, their attorney, their attorneys. And Jason, what should attorneys be doing during their day? Attorney. No, they, I mean they should be doing legal work. Right. And do you want the guy doing legal work? Listen to bone thugs and harmony, boom, boom, boom, boom. This is how it feels to work at winters and kicking me in my opinion. This is how it feels. It’s very tranquil. It’s very calm.
Yeah. My attorney shot me down when I told him he need some overhead music. He’s like, no, this is kind of the vibe of what it feels like in my opinion. Every time I’d go up to winters and King, it’s welcome to your good friends at winters and King where we provide high quality legal services. Would you like a coffee? And then I say [inaudible]
Yeah, I’d love a coffee.
And it’s almost like you want a coffee. Yes, I do want a coffee. I will go get you a coffee, Mr. Clark. Oh yeah, please feel free to grab a seat. And they have the kindest, nicest people. But it just,
And work for me. No, but it works for them. Exactly. So if they were trying to recruit me and they’re not, when we do handle their marketing and we do help to business coach their business and grow their business, but if they were trying to hire me and I said, guys, can we do some with you overhead music? No, but what happens a lot of times you see this, what happens when an entrepreneur really tries to sell a new candidate on the job? If it’s, if the new candidate is good at, you know, let’s say the job, but it’s not good for like the culture or even like, you know, like a checklist or something like that. Because I’ve seen people hire high level people who can come in and let’s say we’re doing accounting. They can do accounting until the cows come home. But if they have to follow something else, like a, like a script or a checklist, you also may say, Hey, I’m going to do this.
This is my lane. I don’t really do all of that corporate drug and blah, blah, blah. That’s going to upset the culture. And if you keep trying to push it, you’re going to alienate the people that you already have there, or you’re going to see a drastic change to both parties. It is so important though, that if you bring in a candidate, so w what I want you to do, I’m gonna give you action steps to make sure that this works for you. One is create a polarizing work environment. So talk about this Jason. What things are in the office right there in the bookstore that you’ll see immediately when you come in the office that could be polarizing for some people. There is a big old American flag. There is a big old Israel flag and then smack dab in the middle there is a painting of Jesus.
And again, you are not a Christian. I don’t sit there and try to sell you on being a Christian, nor am I part of the Islamic state. Right? But the thing is, there are people that are offended right away by seeing that Israeli flag. I thought it was interesting. I was like, what’s going on here? But some people get offended by it. Oh yeah, I’m sure you’ve seen people who are offended by the American flag. Some people, the the notable quotables we write on the walls. Yeah, I witnessed somebody erased one. I know I didn’t witness it, but I walked into the bathroom at one of the conferences after somebody had a raised one they didn’t agree with. Nice. That’s nice. That’s it could come to my house, come to my conference and then erase the values that you don’t agree with. Okay, I get it.
So how do you do that? How do you create a polarizing work environment? One, create print pieces that state your values. Create print pieces that celebrate and teach your values. It’s so important. And I’m telling you, you don’t, you don’t spell words words cast a spell on people. Someone should write that down. You don’t spell words words cast a spell on people move number two again. So step number one, create that polarizing work environment. But how do you do it? One, you create print, print pieces that celebrate your values to create an overhead music environment that matches your businesses personality. Why is that critical, Jason? Well, like you were talking about with winters and King, if you were to walk in to meet with Wes or Vanessa to walk in to meet with West, you guys would probably be really thrown if he was listening to DMX.
Right, right. You’d be like, I don’t know, like, I don’t know know somebody like me, I’d be like, Oh God, I have a gangster attorney. That’s great. But no. It also helps set the tone cause like if, let’s say I were to have a [inaudible] going on over there, Oh, I’m getting some legal documents ready. Woo. Yeah. That’s, so again, it’s just so important that you create a polarizing environment where people will want to work for you or not want to work for you. Because if I come in complaining about the great playlists that you’ve built for elephant in the room or thrive, you know that, Oh, Jason is not a good fit. Three established, clear hours of operation and don’t deviate. So Jason, elephant in the room, it’s a men’s grooming lounge. Where do you guys want to get their hair cut? Between the hours of 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM, and they prefer to get their carrier care cut typically after work or on the weekends.
So what if you want to work for us, but you don’t want to ever work on the weekend or during the evening? What happened? There are a ton of other really crazy jobs. Yeah, but you don’t deviate. So create print pieces that celebrate and teach your values. One, to create overhead music that matches your business’s personality. Three, established, clear hours of operation and don’t deviate. Jason, how often do you see an entrepreneur kind of deviating they’re kind of, you know, they just, they just, they’re trying to accommodate and appease all the employees. And so they keep changing the playlist every day. They keep changing the smells, they keep changing the hours. How often do you see that? I see it a lot, which gives them a lot of added work and stress. But then also when you deviate, if you can’t keep a system, then you’re not going to be able to keep your employees as long because they kind of need to know when they’re working.
Oh yeah. And not be blindsided. Oh, Hey Carl, you’re working every other Tuesday for the next three months and you may or may not work Friday. We, I’ve seen businesses that will, you know, during the slow season, they’ll close a couple of days a week and then people get used to that and then the busy rush comes around and then somebody who’s now working six days a week and they hate their job. Now, Elon Musk couldn’t be here on, on today’s show because he’s a man of class. Although we did get Jim Bryden Stein, who’s the head of NASA on the show and we are working hard to get Ilan on the show and eventually we will get Ilan on the show. But Elon Musk, who is the guy behind a PayPal, a space X and Tesla. Elon Musk is doing very well. For those of you who are new to the planet earth.
Elon Musk is absolutely a legendary innovator and entrepreneur who currently has a net worth today as of 30th. This is crazy. $32 billion. One thinks because he just got himself a big, big bonus. So right now, according to Bloomberg, his net worth is estimated at $32 billion. Wow. So he’s, he’s doing well, but this is what Elon Musk has to say about hiring people. He says, one lesson I learned at PayPal is to fire people faster. That sounds awful, but I think if somebody is not working out, it’s best to part ways sooner rather than later. It’s a mistake to try too hard to make something work that really couldn’t work. Yeah. Again, one lesson I learned at PayPal is to fire people faster. That sounds awful, but I think if something is not working out, it’s, it’s, it’s best to part ways sooner rather than later. It’s a mistake to try too hard to make something work that really couldn’t work.
Yeah. We talked about that on the podcast that we recorded, you know, before about the difference between a B and C players. And one important thing that I wanted to say about that was, you know, Elon Musk says, if you can’t change him, get him out of there. But the only people that you really can change are the a players because they want to change. So they’re going to be looking for that. But if you try to mold a CNB player, you’re just gonna waste your time. And if you go online and you want to have a blasty blast at Elon Musk, Elon Musk’s expense, I encourage you to read comments of ex employees. Tell all, and you’ll see this a lot. Whenever somebody is not a good fit for a company, the they, they, they really go up there and they start to kind of bash and, and why does somebody who’s not a good, good fit go online and, and bash bash their employer?
Why would an employee who gets, who takes a job and is not a good fit for the job, why do they bash their employer? Why do they do that if it’s not a good fit, they want to save face and they want to, they want to shift that blame to somebody else. They don’t want to own up to it. Like, I’ve worked at plenty of jobs. Like when I was a host at a certain restaurant here in Tulsa, I could do the job, but it clearly wasn’t meant for me. And so at one point, and they’re like, Hey, this isn’t really working out. It doesn’t seem like you want to be here. I’m like, you’re right. And they let me go and I was cool with that. You didn’t see me hop on Google and pick this place sucks. I still went back there for multiple years until they closed.
But yeah, most people don’t want to accept that they were bad for some, they don’t want to admit defeat. They want to say, Oh, woe is me. Get the company in trouble and trying to stick it to him. One last time Elon Musk has talked about, he said, he said, listen, if you’re going to come work at Tesla, it’s like working in the Marines. Okay? It’s not for everybody. It’s Tesla is a company changing the automotive industry. Space X is changing the way we traveled to space. Neurolink Neurolink is changing the way that minds and artificial intelligence works with computers. He’s changing the world. And so this is what an ex employee of Elon Musk says about him and a business insider article. The article is titled former Tesla employees reveal what it’s really like to work with Elon Musk. Okay, here we go. Employee says, because of the pressure that he puts on the entire executive team, his senior leadership team, even if they have the experience, they wouldn’t dare speak up against him.
Obviously go get another job. Why aren’t you working for the world’s world’s most intense person? And that’s the funny thing too is I, I’ve read at like my brother is a huge gamer. One of the companies that he adores got in trouble because one of the, a couple of their employees got together and talking about all these crazy hours they had to work in order to hit deadlines. Well, if your job is making software code that you’re going to sell to people that they’re then going to have to play. You have to take the man hours to do it. And if you work for a company, I think we have a business coach client that’s locked outside. Oh, I will keep going to go get that business coach client there and we would come back to here the rest of the story there. But if you’re out there today, and I’m telling you if you are out, if they are out there today and you find yourself in a spot where you have people on your team that don’t want to work for you or with you, it is super duper important that you get them out of there.
But you got to make a culture that people can either love or hate. You can’t have a workplace that it’s, it’s beige and vanilla and it tries to appeal to everybody cause you just can’t do it. And that’s not possible. It’s an impossible, impossible goal to build a culture that appeals to everybody. So again, when you’re recruiting, when you, when you are recruiting and onboarding new people, see if they are a good fit and how do you know if they’re a good fit? Create a polarizing work environment. Create print pieces that celebrate and teach your values. Create overhead music that matches your businesses personality and establish clear hours of operation. And don’t deviate. Jason come share the rest of the story and then we’re gonna hang out with Allen, the perhaps the best engineer in the history of America. We’ll talk down here just a minute. Best.
It’s just about setting expectations. So if you’re working for Elon Musk, you have to realize you’re probably going to have to work hard because homeboy worked, what? 80 to 90 hours per week slept in. A Chinese factory still does. Yeah. And it was the same thing with that. That gaming company, the people were pissed because they chose a job that requires them to work a ton of hours to cram code, to hit a deadline where their bosses are doing the same thing. These guys were building software companies. They had to sacrifice. So if you’re going to work for somebody of that caliber, you should probably consider getting used to that schedule because that’s what they’re going to expect from you. Again, when onboarding new people, when onboarding new people sort don’t sell, create a polarizing work environment. If you’re a Christian and you want to play your Christian music overhead, AKA hobby lobby, do it.
And then if people are offended by it, tell them to go kick rocks. All right. Create print pieces that create and celebrate your values. Create overhead music that fits your culture. Establish clear hours of operation. If you’re somebody who’s offended that Starbucks doesn’t celebrate Christmas, don’t get a job at Starbucks. Sure. This Justin, and now we want to end the show with a boom, but before we do that, everybody go to a, B E N g.com a, B E N g.com. If you’re looking for an engineer, and I know you are, check out AA, B E N g.com. Why? Because I’m making him wait because he was locked outside. I’m a horrible person and now that he further ado, here we go. Three, two, one. Boom, sure. It’ll clean you out. Leave your hollow inside.

The General Authority for Competition (GAC) slapped a fine amounting to SR13 million on a medical company for violating the provisions of the Competition Law. The company was found guilty of withholding commodity information and preventing judicial officers from performing their duties assigned to them during the coronavirus pandemic period.
The Committee for Adjudication of Competition Law Violations issued its decision to penalize the medical supplies and services company for its violation of the Competition Law. Apart from the fine, the company has been ordered to meet the cost of publishing the report about the punitive measures in the local media at its own expense. The Administrative Court of Appeal in Riyadh upheld the decision and rejected the appeal filed by the company against the decision.
The GAC sources revealed that the authority had got preliminary indications that a number of companies and establishments may violate the Competition Law during the coronavirus
crisis, by limiting the flow of goods and services to the market or refraining from handling these products.
Subsequently, the board of directors of the authority decided to take procedures of inspection and investigation. Accordingly, inspectors and officers visited the company to carry out their tasks. However, the company officials obstructed them from performing the tasks entrusted to them, the authority sources pointed out.

Volunteers rally to help build new Kingdom Hall
© Bonnie Learning
Joel Therrien (left) and Mark Vandenberg are two of the volunteers helping construct a new Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The new hall is located on Churchill Street.
Volunteer members of several Jehovah's Witnesses organizations are in Happy Valley-Goose Bay for the next six weeks to help build a new Kingdom Hall.
The new hall will replace their old one, which was located on Cartwright Road.
Mark Vandenberg is a member of the Happy Valley-Goose Bay Jehovah's Witness Hall. He said many of the volunteers are giving of their own vacation time to come to town to help with the foundation work.
"All the workers, all the building materials - everything is completely voluntary," said Vandenberg.
"We have volunteers here from Goose Bay, Labrador City and Quebec City - there are some communication issues (with Quebec volunteers), but we all respect each other and we work well together."
Joel Therrien is a member of the Labrador City Jehovah's Witnesses.
Despite the ongoing fire situation in his region, he still felt the need to come to Happy Valley-Goose Bay and help in the new build.
"In 2006, we had volunteers come from Goose Bay to help build our new hall in Labrador City," he said.
"We started that building on a Monday, and by Saturday, it was completely finished and ready to use."
Therrien said it is that spirit of community that prompted him and other volunteers to help.
"This is a privilege to be able to come here and do this," he said. "We have this brotherhood world-wide, to build stuff like this. We wanted to help our brothers and sisters in Goose Bay.
"That is the mark of a true Christian - love one another."
Therrian noted Jehovah's Witnesses help out in all kinds of natural disaster situations as well.
"A team was formed after the flooding (in Alberta) right away, to re-build all the homes of our brothers and sisters who lost their homes.
"We don't just say we'll do something; we live by actions. It's self-sacrifice - money, vacation time - to commit to helping others."
Therrian explained it normally takes a week to build a new Kingdom Hall - after all the behind-the-scenes planning is complete. However, this build in particular, he said, is different.
"There is actually another build taking place at the same time, at St. Pierre et Miquelon, that is identical in scope to the one here in Goose Bay.
"The team at St. Pierre et Miquelon will be framing their building the first week of August, then they will be coming here to do the same. And when they get here, the team we have here now will leave."
Therrien said the plan is to have the new Kingdom Hall in Goose Bay fully completed and ready for use by August 31.
He added everyone in Goose Bay has been very accommodating to them since arriving in the community.
"Our brothers and sisters opened their homes to us to stay, even offered their own beds, which we refused, of course," he laughed. "We are having a good time, good home-cooked food and good recreation."

GREEN BAY — The Packers’ coordinators and offensive assistant coaches spoke with the media on Thursday afternoon. Here’s a summary of their key comments:
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers
On Chicago’s offense:
They look much different. I think they’re a much improved offense. All you have to do is look at their last two games. A couple weeks ago against Tennessee, they really had a great comeback. They’ve had really good opportunities to win their last two football games. Barkley came into the game (at Lambeau Field) and he’s doing a nice job for them. The combination of the running game with Howard, Barkley is doing a good job with his play-action game. He’s only been sacked three times.
On former Packers guard Josh Sitton:
Josh looks like Josh always did. He’s a savvy veteran guy who knows all the tricks of the trade. He does an excellent job with his hands. He keeps people in front of him. He’s good at picking up stunts. He’s made them better on the offensive line. I think their offensive line is playing much better than when we were getting ready to play them the first time. We have a lot of respect for Josh.
Special-teams coordinator Ron Zook
On the conditions affecting the kicking game:
Strong wind. Obviously the conditions are what they are. The ball is cold. A lot of times it isn’t going to travel as far. It doesn’t bother Mason. He’s done it. Jake is from Buffalo so he’s kicked in the elements as well. Both teams are going to have to deal with it.
On how ILB Jordan Tripp could help on special teams:
Having played Seattle and watching them. I think he’s a guy who can help us. He has a lot of ability. He’s sudden. He can run. He has a great attitude. He was up in my office last night. He’s already on his iPad studying. He has to learn the terminology, but that won’t be an issue.
Offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett
On cold weather games:
It’s part of the preparation. I think the No. 1 thing is we have the opportunity to practice in those type of conditions. You go back to how you train. You want to be fundamentally sound. As far as the mental part of it, that’s part of football.
Associate head coach/offense Tom Clements
On Aaron Rodgers’ performance in face of injuries:
He prepares well. He knows what to expect going into a game. He plays the game all week mentally, so when the game comes he’s already thought through things. He plays through injury. That’s a testament to him getting through it during the week and then being able to fight through it physically.
On Chicago’s defense:
Their whole defense is coordinated very well. They’re very strong upfront. They get a good rush. The guys back there are playing well. They’re playing very well as a defense entirely.
Offensive line coach James Campen
On T.J. Lang playing through foot injury:
That’s T.J. He cares deeply about his team. He wants to win. He’ll do everything he can to play. He made it through fine. He was in some pain I’m sure. He’s played a lot of football and knows how to work around things. Having T.J. back for the game was a plus, obviously.
On whether he played with sleeves or no sleeves in cold weather:
I was a no-sleeve except for one time. Detroit, here, was a cold game. All the linemen ran out without sleeves and then went back into the locker room. There was only one guy who didn’t have sleeves on and that was Sterling Sharpe.
Tight ends coach Brian Angelichio
On Jared Cook’s injury:
I wouldn’t say scare but certainly we were hoping to get him out there in the second half. …He’s been good. In the reps we’ve given him, just trying to see how he feels. He’s been progressing. Certainly on Saturday we’ll make a decision on where he’s at.
On Richard Rodgers’ catch against Seattle:
Rich, in my opinion, really good hands. He did a good job on Wagner. He has strong hands. He wasn’t worried about where Wright was. It was the fundamentals that Coach McCarthy preaches.
Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt
On getting Rodgers prepared without practice:
Mental reps. That’s the big part; watching every drill we did. Getting him in tune with the game plan and landmarks. Just going over those in the meetings and making sure he’s on top of it.
On Brett Hundley’s work this week:
He’s been sharp on everything we’ve asked him to do this week. … (If he played) you wouldn’t give him the full boat that you would give Aaron. As a young player, I’d always would want the base plays that I have the most reps on.
Receivers coach Luke Getsy
On Davante Adams’ game against Chicago:
Him sticking to his plan. Believing in himself and being aggressive. When he got the ball in his hand, he was relentless. We preach every day and you’ve seen that with him. … The last time we played the Bears, Porter traveled with Jordy. It’s going to be different every week.
On execution on Jeff Janis’ end-arounds:
It’s something we practiced through the offseason. The moment struck again. Mike say that and dialed it up against Seattle with Brett in the game. Jeff ran it better than he did against Houston, and Jordy and Davante had nice blocks.
On Jordy Nelson’s signaling for where Rodgers should throw ball on touchdown against Seahawks:
I did that when I was like 10. I told my buddy to throw it here. It was just an instinctual football player. Two guys who have done that a bunch of times. He put a hand and Aaron recognized it and put it in the spot. Jordy did a good job of being patient. I think that relationship with Jordy’s unique instincts that make it special.
Running backs coach Ben Sirmans
On James Starks’ health after accident:
I’ve talked to him. I talked to him yesterday and after the accident. For him, prior to that, he’s in a good place. His biggest thing is he wants to win. He was really disappointed that this has happened to him.
On Ty Montgomery officially becoming a running back:
He’s made a good transition. The biggest thing he’s brought besides his athleticism is he has an understanding of the pass game that the other guys don’t. It helps make him more valuable. He’s very, very eager to learn and ask a lot of questions. He still asks the most questions.

Solskjaer extended the invitation to his former United team-mate, and hinted that he was not surprised at how things turned out for Scholes following a fallout with Oldham owner Abdallah Lemsagam.
"Were you?" said Solskjaer when quizzed if he was surprised by Scholes' resignation. "He's probably got his reasons why he left, so you've got to ask him. He's invited here if he wants to come and have a little chat about it.
"We've texted and it didn't work out, that's just management."

Listen to me before its too late! D-I-V-O-R-C-E!
I am a Psychologist and I have lived Aikido since 1989. This is not a problem with you nor of your student. even if you kick your student out or quit aikido altogether, it will not solve your problem. Your wife will simply find another object of her jealousy.
This is not about lacking trust or being suspicious anymore. This is about psychological control. Just as rapists aren't motivated by just the need for sex but by the need for power, women like that are using jealousy as an excuse to assert their absolute control over you. I betcha she also uses maneuvers to make you feel guilty or to make herself look pitiful in order to sway not just your actions but also the opinions of people around you.
Don't try to be a miracle worker. She is not going to change anytime soon. They never do. I say no more of this marriage counseling BS. Bail out now! Don't wait for a fight or an excuse to explain your decision, just cut her loose ASAP. And that means NOW.
A divorce has best chances of being more civil when it is not precipitated by a fight. If kids are involved, try to agree on custody and visitation but bottom line is, you need to do this now.
I don't know any councilor that would tell some one who is not their patient, who they do not know something this brass!
Plus, every story has two sides, and we only have the Mr.'s side. And you'd make a "professional" opinion based on this little information. You might be telling a man to destroy his family for all you know.
You're so not a real psychiatrist. If you were you'd be a little more concerned with your liability in telling some one something this drastic. You are responsible legally if he takes your advise, if you are claiming to be a professional. An actual psychiatrist would realize this, and never put their license on the line.

Writers have this thing about rejection. It seems edgy or romantic somehow to count rejection notices, to clutch them to your breast like the beads of a diabolical rosary with the power to damn or redeem your creative power for eternity.
That’s an awful lot of malign intent to ascribe to an agent who might simply have too many titles like yours on the plate right now. Not accepting your book might be rejection, but it’s probably a lack of acceptance.
Not word games. Just business.
Writing is art, but publishing is business. If you want to be a writer who’s also published, then by definition you need to consider both elements. If you’ve chosen to self-publish, the entrepreneurial implications are obvious. If you’re aiming to be traditionally published, you’re hoping to sell your product through a middleman who plans to make money from its success.
Either way, if your book doesn’t fit the market—and especially if you don’t even know what the market is—you probably shouldn’t expect spectacular results.
Big pond—big, big pond
So why haven’t those lazy agents read your query yet? I jest. Those lazy agents are busy reading the other thousands of queries they receive every year. Yes, you read that correctly: thousands of queries over the course of a year. Lit agent Janet Reid says she gets about one hundred queries a week.
It’s a big, big pond, and as a debut author, you’re a wee little fish. The thing is, the necessity of making the cut is not unique to writers. It’s just reality, not the Thunderdome, so don’t make too much ado about nothing.
- Athletes don’t throw in the towel when they get cut during tryouts. They train harder and come back next season better than ever.
- Musicians and actors know that an audition is as much about the director’s vision and needs for the production as it is their own skill.
- Entrepreneurs don’t crumple when their pitches don’t generate interest or funding. They roll up their sleeves. Revision and iteration is the path new products and services take to market.
I could go on, so perhaps it’s fitting that writers should do a little less—less going on, that is. Less going on about rejection and more moving forward to generate still more of it.
What does rejection mean?
It’s true that some agents or publishers or readers just won’t like what you’re selling. Take inspiration from your friends the content writers and journalists, who pitch a dozen stories every month or even every week. The sheer number of rejections and rewrites required to successfully place a story in the right market makes it abundantly clear that very often, it’s the project that’s not moving, not you.
But if the project just won’t budge, what then?
If your query isn’t getting anything but form rejections, you might have a weak query. Review your query package with a seasoned author, professional editor, or quality writers’ group, and follow submission requirements for individual agents to the letter.
If your query is getting requests for pages but nothing after that, the problem lies with your story concept, storytelling, or writing. At this point, turn to beta readers or a professional developmental editor to help suss out the sticking point.
If feedback suggests that the manuscript is solid but your submission keeps getting turned away, perhaps you’re out of touch with your genre or the fiction market in general. What new releases have you read (this year or last) from your book’s genre? Do you know your book’s comps? Do you know what agents are buying right now? Do you know what they’re tired of? Do you know what’s too far off center to be expected to sell?
A book not many people will appreciate is a book not many people will buy.
Maybe you’ve written something really unique. Something noncommercial. Something genre-busting. Something literary. Maybe you’ve written something you suspect other people will have a hard time understanding and appreciating.
Time for the truth bomb: if you’re the only one who’s likely to “get” your book, you haven’t written a saleable novel. It may be an amazing book indeed, but it’s not commercial fiction. It’s creative writing, maybe, or maybe a really great journal. Maybe it’s something worth distributing via hobby or special interest sites. But a book not many people will appreciate is a book not many people will buy.
The resilient outlook
If you take nothing else from this article, it’s this: Don’t get sucked into mooning over mawkish blogs bemoaning how their authors’ creative souls are withering under the unceasing torture of rejection. Your soul is not being judged at the pearly gates. You’re pitching a book in an industry based on pitching books. Toughen up. Lean in. Push back.
Avoid investing so much of your identity into one project that you cut yourself off from the ability to move on. You’re bigger than one book.
See all those startup creatives carrying their Starbucks up to their trendy loft offices to labor 24/7 over their big new thing? Those innovators are no less creative than you, but they have something extra to back that up: resilience. They expect to fail. They’re dogged, and they’re fearless, and they’ll iterate through failure after failure until their concept rises above the rest, gets funded, and goes to market.
You can do that too.
Whatever you do, don’t get caught up in counting rejection notices. That’s turning a practical process into emotional melodrama that drains energy you could be using to write your next book. Yeah, your next book—why aren’t you working on that again?
So you’ve written a book. That’s huge—you earned that. But avoid investing so much of your identity into one project that you cut yourself off from the ability to move on. You’re bigger than one book.
So write the next book.
Need help figuring out why your query isn’t getting past the gatekeepers and on to publication? Email me and let’s talk about your novel.

New Brunswick film Catherine included in Cannes
Jarrod Hachey looks to learn more about filmmaking while attending prestigious festival
Saint John filmmaker Jarrod Hachey is looking forward to learning as much as he can about film-making while attending the Cannes Film Festival in France in May.
Hachey's film, Catherine, is included in the festival's short-film catalogue,giving him access to films, workshops and industry insiders.
"I read a Cannes survival guide that called it 'Old Hollywood on steroids,'" said Hachey. To be in that for my first festival is scary, but I'm looking forward to it."
While Hachey's film is not one of the festival's official selections, inclusion in the short film catalogue allows Hachey access to almost everything the festival has to offer.
"It's just the red carpet premieres that we can't go to," said Hachey. "All of the other screenings we're welcome to, so that's going to be great.
"Just last night I finally got to see a movie that won the second prize at Cannes last year and it's only just become available here."
The Cannes short film catalog describe's Hachey's 15-minute film as "an examination of the space between a medical student and his common law lover. The emptiness of endeavour and the loneliness of being surrounded by people."
Catherine was also nominated as best short film at the Los Angeles CineFest this year.
Not an official selection
Hachey said he takes the selection at Cannes "all with a grain of salt."
"Short Film Corner is different. It's not an official selection. It's open to any short they review and deem it has artistic merit."
About 1,000 films are included in his category, he said.
Hachey, 23, plans on using the opportunity at Cannes to network and learn more about filmmaking to reach the next step in his career.
"That's a little bit daunting I think," said Hachey. "But, I think I'm ready to jump right into it.
"It's always been a culture that I've known existed, but it's always been really far out of my reach."
While at Cannes, Hachey plans to shoot another short film based on his experiences at the festival.
Cannes runs from May 11 to 22.

“Increased Energy Investment; the Future of Africa’s Development”,
The Africa Energy Infrastructure and Finance Forum (AEIF) is a global investment Forum organized by African Leadership magazine for Africa’s energy, infrastructure, and finance sector. With an agenda that demands a lively debate, providing a balance of C-Suite strategy and real-world tactics, AEIF focuses on opportunities in Africa. The Forum will hold at National Press Club, Washington, D.C, USA on December 7, 2017.
Surveys have shown that a lack of energy has impeded recent economic growth, by slowing down businesses, reduced productivity and is threatening poverty reduction efforts in Africa. After a turbulent couple of years on the continent, the African energy and infrastructure market is set to bounce back with a new lease of life and investments. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity have persisted through the recession and the development of new Greenfield PPP pipelines is starting to lay the groundwork for a resurgence in infrastructure development in Africa.
The Africa Energy Infrastructure and Finance Forum with the theme, “Increased Energy Investment; the Future of Africa’s Development”, will serve as a vehicle for empowering the private sector through advocacy, sharing business, market information and skills; this year’s forum will address the industry’s most pressing issues, identify sustainable new potentials and opportunities within the industry, synergize concepts and ideas, and proffer sustainable solutions; Join us to discuss and evaluate the these key challenges and opportunities, network with the key players in African Energy and infrastructure sector, and conduct the most important deal-making conversations.
AEIF 2017 will bring together senior-level executives from governments, asset owners, utilities, regulators, power / energy developers, financial institutions, technology providers, consultants, international development agencies, banks, law firms, institutional investors, funds, and large consumers of energy to form partnerships, identify opportunities and proffer solutions to collectively move the industry forward.
Key 2017 themes include:
- Africa – Strategic Leadership: Governmental strategies on developing energy and infrastructure. Stimulating foreign investments
- Country Focus: establishing pipeline of bankable projects in Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Ghana, Tanzania, Mauritius and Liberia
- Cooperation perspectives for project financing: Governments, Official Development Assistance(ODA) ODA and private investors
- PPPs: the way forward? Success stories and case studies

Buttons, scrollbars, drop-down menus, borders, windows, rollers, cursors, and all sorts of other widgets are the playthings of UI designers. Buttons are for pushing, rollers are for rolling, and knobs are for turning.
User experience deals with how these individual actions feel, but more importantly, a user’s overall experience on web or mobile. This includes making sure users can understand text, navigate with ease, and make smooth transitions—creating seamless user flows so that the product elicits an appropriate emotional response.
Essentially an archive of successful user flows, UX Archive shows a cycle of specific events through individual high-definition screen shots of each process. While currently focused on top-quality apps for iPhone, the site gives viewers a broader understanding of the UI for each individual step and how it contributes to the overall experience.
The chain of events shown on the site helps to clarify the architecture of the apps as well as exhibiting the general feel, with events split in to five different sections: exploring, onboarding, searching, sharing and sign up. The “exploring” feature highlights browsing, and the “onboarding” feature shows the process from splash screen to launch. The “searching,” “sharing,” and “signing up” features are what one might expect.
The fact that the events are not combined—no single group of photos showing all five events together—actually makes the site more useful. The short, staccato bursts are very helpful in highlighting specific methods for showing the same processes. UX Archive should be commended for being easy to use and providing a great user experience itself—websites built for UX professionals draw in users who expect a great user experience, and UX Archive delivers.
UX Archive also builds an element of curiosity by highlighting a question at the top of the home page: “How do the best apps handle _____?” The question engages the user and drives the content forward—with the blanks filled in by one of four events noted above. The images showing the process chains for each application are visually appealing and the site is easy to use and well maintained.
At present there are only a handful of applications listed (and, as I mentioned, they are limited to those for iPhones). Clearly the archive will continue to grow, but the direction of that growth is unclear. If everyday users are allowed up upload their own apps, the beauty of the site could be compromised. If the site managers allow only certain apps to be uploaded, the site will maintain its high level of quality but might not have the quantity of content to keep a high profile among UX professionals. Only time will tell how this issue will be resolved, but judging by the look and feel of the site at present, it seems likely that the issue will be handled in a user-friendly way that keeps UX Archive unique and interesting.
Graphic designers have been especially eager to show off all sorts of fun and interesting user interface and navigational tools, with sites like UI Parade, Behance, and Dribble all presenting really great user interface controls, but UX Archive has taken the extra initiative by highlighting great user experience on the macro level. Hopefully this vision will spark even more interest in great user experience design.

Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News
July 9, 2004 - Vail Resorts is courting potential buyers interested in acquiring the company, according to more than a dozen sources in the Vail Valley.
The publicly traded ski and resort company has hired a New York investment banking firm to help sell its assets, several sources said.
Vail Resorts declined to comment.
"It's our company policy not to speculate on our stock price or potential transactions," said Vail Resorts spokeswoman Kelly Ladyga.
A buyer calling for all of the company's 35.2 million shares at the current stock price would pay close to $700 million.
Vail Resorts' stock has hovered around $19 -- a two-year high -- for several weeks. The summer months are generally a time when the stock languishes because revenues decline without skiers. The company offered shares at $22 in its initial public offering in February 1997.
Vail Resorts owns Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone and Breckenridge ski areas in Colorado. It paid $99 million for the Heavenly ski area on the Nevada- California border in 2002. It has grown its lodging wing from a few boutique hotels in the Vail Valley to a collection of more than a dozen luxury hotels across the country. The company also has expanded its real estate wing by developing high-end property in the Vail area.
Leading the rumored list of possible buyers is Mike Shannon, 46, who ran Vail Associates from 1987 to 1992, when George Gillett owned the two-resort ski company. In the last decade, Shannon has grown his California-based KSL Recreation Corp. into a major resort company, with top-tier hotels nationwide.
Earlier this year, Shannon sold all of KSL's equities to a Florida hospitality firm in a $1.4 billion deal.
Shannon was not available for comment.
"Yeah, we've all heard the Shannon rumor," said Gerald Engle, founder of the Cordillera Group, which built one of the Vail Valley's first golf communities. "He's got a bunch of money in his pocket, and he's always said he wanted to come back and buy Vail."
Shannon launched KSL in 1992 with funding from Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., a buyout firm with business ties to Apollo Management LP, the majority stockholder of Vail Resorts.
In March, Apollo sold 1,325,000 shares of Vail stock for $15.30 a share to an unnamed buyer. The company still owns 6.12 million shares of Vail Resorts' class A stock and controls two-thirds of the company's board of directors. The two other largest shareholders are investment manager Ron Baron and Ralcorp Holdings, who combined with Apollo control nearly three-quarters of Vail Resorts' stock value.
Apollo officials did not return a request for comment this week.
Beyond Shannon, other potential buyers are a Wall Street investment firm (not the firm hired by Vail Resorts), a European investment group and an investment team from Dallas, several sources said.
"I heard from a Wall Street firm looking at Vail Resorts," said Avon-based developer Jerry Jones, a former Vail Associates executive. "They were looking at a real estate play, and they needed some information."
Ed Ryberg, winter sports coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service's Rocky Mountain region, said a group of investors from New York contacted him recently. The group was exploring Forest Service policy involving permits for a multiresort company that was restructuring ownership, Ryberg said.
He said the group did not identify which ski company it was looking into.
"They were very vague," Ryberg said.
Dennis Orcutt, the former head of U.S. Bank in Colorado who pioneered ski-area lending in the 1980s and 1990s, said Wall Street and investors would probably value Vail Resorts at $725 million, or six times its earnings. The company had $635 million in debt and $95 million in cash, according to an April 30 financial report.
Orcutt said Wall Street has long struggled to place a value on real estate opportunities within resort companies.
"One of the reasons for that is that once your real estate is sold, your cash flow is gone," Orcutt said. "The question for a new investor at Vail Resorts is, what else they can do with the company? I mean, they've already tried to do just about everything they can. They've bought hotels and jumped into real estate. What's left on the table for a new investor?"
In early June, Vail Resorts CEO Adam Aron announced his company had recently finished its best quarter ever, hinting that its fiscal 2004, which ends July 31, could be its best year for operating income.
The company this summer launched a $500 million renovation of the aging Lionshead and Vail villages, which promise to significantly increase Vail Resorts' real estate revenues in the next five years.

How to Care For Your Granite Countertops
Granite has long been a favorite choice for countertops due to its beauty and ease of maintenance. Granite is a durable material, but like all surfaces, it does require regular maintenance. We sat down with several stone care experts to learn how best to care for granite countertops.
Why Choose Granite?
“Granite is one of the easiest to care for stones you can use in your home,” says Galen Roth, owner of Roth Restoration in Charleston, SC. “Most of the granite restoration calls we receive are for countertops that are 10 to 15 year old, when they become dull around sink and work areas. Otherwise, granite countertops need very little upkeep.”
“Granite is a good choice for kitchen countertops because it’s not sensitive to most common household acids,” adds Brian Kornet, owner and president of Fabra-Clean in Plainview, New York. “If you have polished granite, it’s very difficult for it to lose its shine.”
Roth recommends getting into a routine of wiping granite counters daily with a neutral cleaner. “That’s all that’s needed,” he says. “You don’t need to use a harsh soap because nothing sticks to granite; it’s a smooth surface.”
It’s important to read labels—most major brands of cleaners make a version that is safe for stone surfaces. A natural stone cleaner made for daily use should not leave residue on stone, which Kornet says is important. He notes that people often use dish detergent to clean their granite countertops, which he does not recommend. “Soap has a fatty acid that leaves a greasy film, which can dull or leave streaks on stone surfaces. You won’t get that with the right daily cleaner.”
Simple preventative measures can go a long way in protecting granite countertops. Make sure to use cutting boards, trivets, and cooling racks. Kornet also recommends cleaning up spills and moisture as soon as possible. “If you have bottles of cleaning fluids, such as dish detergent, keep them in a dish,” he says. “Dry underneath dishes regularly, and use coasters with glasses.”
Water can cause a calcification on granite countertops. Jacqueline Tabbah, VP of International Stoneworks in Houston, TX, recommends using a neutral cleaner once a week to address the buildup.
“If you don’t take the time to wipe off water each day, you will see the water start to calcify, turning white around the faucet and fixtures,” she says. “If you let it go, you’ll need a stone restoration, but it’s cleanable using the right products.”
Our experts recommend sealing most granites, but the timeline can vary depending on use.
“The kitchen is the heart of the home and is used every day, and the bathroom has constant daily water exposure,” says Tabbah. “Once a year, reseal these countertops using a penetrating sealer. It provides good water, oil, and grease resistance.” Penetrating (or impregnating) sealers work just below the stone surface to provide additional safeguard against stains.
Spray on the product and let it soak in for 15 to 20 minutes, then use a microfiber or cotton cloth to wipe away whatever sealer didn’t soak in, testing after each application.
“Put a little hot water on an area, let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes, and then wipe it off,” says Kornet. “If the stone darkens, it’s still absorbing moisture. If it doesn’t, it’s sealed. The reason hot water is used is because it has smaller molecules.”
“Not every stone is the same,” he says. “You have some that are more porous than others.” Some granites, such as Absolute Black, may not require sealing, or will only need one application of sealer. Other granites, like Juparana Columbo, may require four to six applications to be sealed properly.”
A good sealer can last up to 10 years if using the right products to clean daily. “What will break down the sealer besides oxidation from sunlight and from the air is using improper cleaners,” says Kornet.
If you see loss of shine, Tabbah says it’s time to call a stone restoration specialist who can rehone or repolish the countertop.
“Restoration techniques takes care of surface scratches as well as areas that have lost their shine, getting the countertop back to a nice consistent finish and shine,” she says. “It’s on an as-needed basis.”
“Granite is such a great countertop product,” says Kornet. “If you take care of it, it will last a long time.”

Selling your products on marketplaces is an effective way to develop your e-commerce activity and to sustainably and exponentially increase your results. However, the process of moving from a "single selling platform" to an online marketplace can be complicated. Indeed, each market has its own rules, criteria, and requirements. So, before you get started, you need to analyze and plan your project to know if it is profitable or not.
The Marketplace: what is it and how does it work?
A Marketplace is a virtual market that acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers. To better explain it to you, think of the Marketplace as a virtual shopping center. In other words, it is a large online store - with several e-commerce stores - where thousands of customers come to shop every day.
It works like all e-commerce stores but in a larger size. In this virtual place, customers can therefore buy everything online, at any time. As for sellers, if they want to sell their products on a Marketplace, they will not have to pay rent as in a physical store, but they will have to register their products on the Marketplace platform. In return for its service, the latter will charge them a fee each time they make a sale.
Currently, the Marketplace leaders in terms of notoriety and market share are Amazon, Fnac, and eBay, but it is also possible to sell on social networks such as Facebook.
What are the advantages of selling on a Marketplace?
The biggest reasons to sell on these sales platforms are that they allow you to:
- Quickly develop your online business: launching an e-commerce site takes time and money: SEO, the implementation of marketing strategies ... With Marketplaces, the sales process is simplified. They take care of the platform, order fulfillment, and marketing strategies. All you have to do is set up your store, manage the products, and set your prices.
- Maintain your brand image: although you are selling your product on another platform, you will have your brand and logo. So your customers will always be able to find and rate your store.
- To create a relationship of trust: customers are often reluctant to buy from sites they do not know. However, if you sell through a Marketplace, they will have more guarantees on the security of their purchase.
- To develop your business and your market internationally: on Marketplace platforms, shipping costs are generally very affordable and you will have no problem with the language barrier.
How to sell on a Marketplace?
Before signing up, you must first define what you are going to sell. If you already have an e-commerce site, you will only have to choose the category that corresponds to your product among the 20 categories offered by the platform.
To be able to sell on Amazon, the creation of a "Seller" account is mandatory. This will give you access to the "Seller Central" interface. The following information may be requested from you during your registration: telephone number, address, credit card… and all information about your company. Then you just need to upload your product list to the platform and start selling your products on the Amazon Marketplace.
Regarding the price, Amazon offers you the choice between two sales plans. If you want a monthly subscription, you will pay $ 39 per month and sell an unlimited amount of product. On the other hand, if you do not want a subscription, you will only pay a commission of 0.99 € for each item sold.

Located on the West Coast of the South Island, Fox Glacier is one of two famous attractions in the region known as Glacier Country.Fox is the name of both the glacier itself and the local village. While the glacier itself is the lesser known of the two in the region, it is definitely worth the visit. For a price, you are able to fly by helicopter and land on top of the glacier in order to explore its ice caves. Sadly on the day that we visited, the weather was too unclear to fly safely and all flights were suspended. The trail to view the glacier itself is short, but the scenery is stunning, particularly on a misty day. Be sure to bring a raincoat if visiting the West Coast, because you are guaranteed to experience plenty of it.
Franz Josef Glacier
Franz Josef, just like Fox, is the name of both the glacier itself and the neighboring village.To reach the glacier viewing point, a longer hike is required than that of fox glacier. The trail itself is absolutely stunning and gives you a clear view of the edge of the glacier. If you decide to stay in the Franz Josef village, I highly recommend Sir Cedrics Chateau Franz for accommodation, they’re a great backpackers located right in the middle of the village center. If you need evening entertainment, I suggest visiting Snakebite Brewery, they’re located on the main street of the village and have some of the best craft beers that I’ve had the pleasure of trying, along with the single best cider I have ever had, Cobra Berry Cider.
The Blue Pools are very easy to miss while driving to the two glacier villages. There is a small roadside stop that is located part way between Wanaka and Fox Glacier that is definitely worth keeping an eye out for. There is a short forest walk that arrives at a fork in a bright blue river with some stunning scenery.

One of Hollywood’s shining stars of yesteryear, Ava Gardner was a woman ahead of her times, a woman who fought against racism, believed in the right to choose, and enjoyed her sexuality. Married four times – with short-term spouses including Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra – and a studio star of the 40s and 50s, Ava’s life was filled in equal parts with spectacle and scandal. “The World’s Most Beautiful Animal” certainly drew attention and wagging tongues in her heyday. The contradictions and complexities of this fiery silver screen icon lured playwrights Alessandra Assaf and Michael Lorre into her web – resulting in TWELVE O’CLOCK TALES WITH AVA GARDNER. Directed by Michael A. Shepperd and presented at the Whitefire Theatre, this intimate expose of Ava’s life and times cannot fail to grip the viewer.
The time is 1974 and the place is Hollywood, California. Ava’s whopping big hits have run aground as she moves into her 50s and begins to age past the film industry’s high water mark. After nearly ten years of fallow ground, Ava has landed the starring role in the disaster film “Earthquake” with co-star Charlton Heston. Playing second fiddle to Mother Nature’s tremors may seem like a comedown, given her cinematic history – but, after all, Ava must pay her bills. What will her future bring?
In a carefully researched and fascinating odyssey through Ava Gardner’s life, TWELVE O’CLOCK TALES WITH AVA GARDNER stars co-author Alessandra Assaf in a solo show which dissects the paths and tangents that the star’s life took. Woven between snippets of her early history and larger segments of her scandalous liaisons, Assaf skillfully portrays this untouchable but also heavy-drinking and earthy woman who isn’t afraid to utter four letter words and have one more cigarette while offering her frank opinions about her world and the people in it. Assaf’s lively and enthusiastic approach to the Hollywood film star keeps the show humming along with nary a dull moment. Clearly, she and director Shepperd have reached a clear understanding of what made the woman tick. To quote Assaf, “No matter how evolved we think we’ve become, eye candy remains a powerful force.”
Kudos to Irmgard Quint for the set, props, and costumes which light up the show and place it squarely in the 1970s, as well as to Derrick McDaniel lighting and Tor Jin Brown’s sound. And let’s not forget the songs that pop up here and there reminding us of the era – and Ava Gardner’s life-long desire to be a singer. Happily, Alessandra Assaf has the voice and style to pull it off.
TWELVE O’CLOCK TALES WITH AVA GARDNER will prove absorbing for the film buff as it explores the history and dynamics of the Hollywood culture of the time and also the dynamics of the people – and especially the women – who survived within that culture. But the show offers more than just Hollywood history. It digs into what formed and psychologically shaped Ava Gardner, the perfect example of what we now term Star of the Silver Screen. This is an entertaining and intriguing play which will delight both film and theater fans.
TWELVE O’CLOCK TALES WITH AVA GARDNER runs through March 5, 2023, with performances at 2 p.m. on Sundays. The Whitefire Theatre is located at 13500 Venture Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. Tickets are $25. For information and reservations, call 818-687-8559 or go online.

As a bicyclist who has an aggressive biking style I sometimes hear people tell me (or shout at me) “bikes should follow the same laws as cars”. From my perspective this is a ridiculous statement. And yet even bicyclists say this. I don’t understand how anyone who regularly rides on city streets can believe this. I’m not advocating recklessness. Of course a bicyclist should look both ways before crossing. Of course a bicyclist should never endanger a pedestrian. Of course a bicyclist shouldn’t put responsible motorists in awkward positions.
Certainly there are reckless bicyclists who wear hoodies and endanger themselves and others. I am just as outraged as any motorist (though I am secretly glad that they are reckless with a bike rather than reckless with a car). But more often I see safety-minded bicyclists breaking the law in order to improve safety. I routinely come across situations where following the same laws as cars is absurdly inconvenient, unsafe, or even impossible. Here are some examples:
- Near my house there is a stop light that can only be triggered magnetically by a car. Whose bright idea was that? Pedestrians and bicyclists have to choose between waiting for a car or breaking the law (by humbly looking both ways and crossing if it’s safe).
- In Ithaca West State Street has many stop lights as a traffic calming measure so that cars don’t zoom down the street (as they are allowed to do on flanking Seneca and Green streets). Side traffic is minimal at all times of the day. Pedestrians routinely cross against red lights. I suspect the city wants to encourage pedestrians here, and having pedestrians illegally crossing the street is another method of traffic calming. Why should bicyclists be subject to the same traffic calming designed for cars? Compared to cars, bikes are inherently calm!
- One of the leading causes of death of bicyclists is motorists turning right and cutting off (and crushing to death) the bicyclist. When I come up to a stop light I like to pull ahead of the column of cars so that I am in front of them and visible to them. Sometimes (if there is no cross traffic) this entails pulling ahead just as or before the light changes. Also, turning right on red (even if it’s posted as illegal) is the safest way to get out of the danger zone. I haven’t been crushed yet!
- In Ithaca there is a confluence of three busy highways so dangerous it is given the sinister name of “The Octopus”. Even though biking on the sidewalk can get you a $150 fine in Ithaca, bicyclists prefer that possibility to navigating The Octopus. I once saw a bicyclist here venture off the sidewalk. He was struck by a motorist as he crossed in a crosswalk. The motorist scolded the bicyclist and the bicyclist (whose bike was ruined) apologized to the motorist.
- Another common situation I encounter is coming up to an intersection where there is an oncoming stream of cars turning left in front of me. If I try to assert my right-of-way the oncoming motorists sometimes honk and shake their fist at me. That’s if I’m lucky and they actually see me. When they don’t see me I have to use my momentum to swerve out of the way. I’ve had some close calls this way. This situation is caused by motorists blindly following the car in front of them while turning left (and often exacerbated by them talking on a cell phone). My solution at these problem intersections is simply to run the red light if I have the opportunity. That way I’m not in their way, they’re not in my way, and we can all go on our way, no harm done.
- Country roads have their own issues. I recently had to turn left on a busy highway. My turn was at the top of a hill, so instead of turning while biking uphill I turned before reaching the hill and illegally rode a short bit on the wrong side of the highway. I did this so that I could get across the highway while I was still going fast enough to merge with traffic and cross. I did not want to get stuck straddling my bike in the middle of a busy highway.
These last two examples exemplify a general rule of bicycle safety that they don’t teach you in school: there is safety in speed. It may seem counter-intuitive, but as a bicyclist you should avoid coming to a standstill. It is a sad fact that motorists routinely don’t yield the right of way to bicyclists. As long as you are moving you can swerve out of danger. If you are at a standstill in front of a car you are deadmeat. Unlike a motorist, you can’t simply step on the gas if you need to. You have to use your wits, your agility and your momentum. And you may have to break some laws to maintain your momentum
This kind of focused and fast riding requires skill. As a bike courier in Washington D.C. and later as a bike commuter in Chicago, I learned this skill to survive, not to irritate motorists or satisfy some sort of death wish. In the book Pedaling Revolution I was pleased to read about other bicyclists who have also concluded that speed equals safety. It takes a certain leap of faith to go faster to be safer. It’s a leap that aspiring cyclists will have to make on their own since the prevailing bike safety philosophy is to wear lots of protective equipment and wait for cars to run into you.
Another lesson here: never trust a motorist to yield the right of way. Always have a backup plan, whether legal or not. Be prepared to ride on the sidewalk to go around a car that looks like it might cut you off. Be prepared to pull into another lane if it looks like someone might pull in front of you. Do whatever is necessary to keep a swerve space ready. Look around you, thing about where everything is headed, and “try not be where an accident is about to happen”. Motorists don’t have to be this careful in city driving since the stakes are perhaps at most a fender-bender. For you the stakes are your life. If you’re off the bike path, take out your earbuds, pay attention, and and bike paranoid dude.
Pop quiz: you are biking. You come to an intersection where you want to turn right but the intersection is marked “no right turn on red”. A car pulls up next to you and it appears they also want to turn right. Do you a) remain beside the car and wait for the light to turn red, trusting that they will yield the right of way to you? Do you b) pull in front of the car where it’s safe and wait? Or do you c) illegally turn right on red? If you read paragraph five above you will know the correct answer to this. If you answered a), it was nice knowing you and my condolences to your family. If you answered b), be prepared to take some abuse from the motorist behind you. But if you answered c), enjoy the freedom that only comes from riding sensible human-scale transportation.
Sometimes bicyclists break laws because our streets in general are designed as if bicyclists don’t exist. Here’s an example:
- Across the street from my house my neighbor Nancy used to yell at bicyclists riding on the sidewalk in front of her house. I told her that there was a lot of bike traffic on our street because our street leads to a pedestrian bridge. This bridge can save a bicyclist a mile of uphill biking. (Ironically one of the best assets for bicyclists in Ithaca is poorly accessible to bicyclists!) I told Nancy that because of the fast car traffic on our narrow street bicyclists preferred to bike on the sidewalk. Nancy discontinued haranguing the bikers and instead got the city to install a stop sign and speed limit that slowed traffic on our street. Now more bicyclists bike on the street instead of the sidewalk. (However another problem is that it’s a one-way street and they have to bike the wrong way to get to the bridge. Also bicyclists must ride on the sidewalk to get onto the bridge—technically a $150 fine.)
This last example can I think be generalized: if many fine upstanding bicyclist citizens are consistently breaking the law, there is something wrong with the law or the road design, not the people. Don’t take it out on the bicyclists!
Let’s face it, traffic laws exist because cars are lethal things in need of regulation; bicycles are not. When people say “bikes should follow the same laws as cars” I hear “once again we are too lazy to consider how bikes are different than cars and design our roads accordingly”. I hear “once again we are going to leave bicyclists to fend for themselves and then make them wear lots of safety equipment because we can’t be bothered to make room for them on our roads”. And “once again we are going to spend gadzillions of money on automobile infrastructure but for bicyclists we’ll paint a little line on the road and tell them good luck.” Bicyclists don’t have the same rights as motorists. Why should we have the same responsibilities? Don’t get me started.
The bottom line is that bicyclists should follow law—laws that meet the needs of bicyclists. This kind of law is still rare, but I’ve seen some examples lately: the sign at the top of South Hill that says “bikes can use full lane”; the sharrows on North Cayuga Street; the “bike boxes” in Portland Oregon that encourage bicyclists to wait in front of a line of cars at red lights. However, it may be a while before we have more of these laws made for bicyclists rather than hand-me-down laws made for motorists. The best we bicyclists can do in the meantime is to be respectful of pedestrians and do what’s safest, be it legal or not.

Posing with a deer the other guy shot
The American Humanist Association has a “kids without God” thingy going on.
They have this new billboard going up here and there.
Here’s what I think:
The teen years are well known as a season of questioning and rejecting. Teens dabble in and change beliefs (or ignore them altogether) like they change hand-held devices. (I was going to say “as often as they change shirts, but at least with boys that’s not always very frequent.) Teens stretch toward adulthood by differentiating from parents, and part of that experimental process is doubting and challenging received stuff that was there “because my parents said so.”
So when the American Humanist Association puffs up and proclaims that teens all across the land are responding to a “doubt and questioning” campaign, it is a lot like me posing with a deer shot by some other hunter, then posting the picture all over Facebook as my own achievement.
Cynical bullcrap, in other words.
Ahh, the American Humanists. Great intellects and moral giants, every blessed one.

There’s a wonderful feeling that sweeps over you when you hear opening track ‘Main Offender’ – it’s a song that just instantly transports you back to the glorious Wicked Sensation album from 1990. There’s that surefooted groove and swagger that just captures the feeling you had 27 years ago when you tore the shrink-wrap off that wonderful debut.
Over the last few years of course we’ve been spoiled with a rather decent string of albums starting with the 2009 ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ which saw original vocalist Oni Logan back on board, then after a short break it got even better with 2014’s ‘Sun Red Sun’ and 2015’s ‘Rebel’ starting to really hit the spot.
With ‘The Brotherhood’ things get ever better – this feels like a band, and the chemistry between Lynch and Logan at this point is starting to really smoke, and even if the rhythm section has been refreshed with each release it still feels we’re not just fluid but really connecting. It feels good, it sounds great and it just may well be the best thing you’ve heard from Lynch Mob since that first slice.
The album starts off with a pair of rock solid offerings the two singles ‘Main Offender’ and ‘Mr Jekyll and Hyde’ the latter of which just turns out to be one of both my and George’s favourites alongside the wonderful almost Pink Floyd-like ‘Miles Away’ which closes out this mighty fine 12 track offering (check out our interview with George Lynch here).
If you thought 2015’s ‘Rebel’ was impressive then I’ll wager that this time round is even better. From the off it’s musical fireworks, and to be honest there’s not a dull moment here amongst the impressive eleven album proper tracks and the bonus bare-bone blues track ‘Until I Get My Gold’.
Along the way we get it all, and after those storming singles next track ‘I’ll Take Miami’ adds a light 70’s almost Van Halen-like hard rock feel to the mix, before ‘Last Call Lady’ adds some smooth pop-infused and uber-catchy modern rock, it may sound like a contrast but like most things the quality overrides any concerns and Lynch and Logan add their distinctive mark to both.
‘Where We Started’ comes with riff-foot forward and a stuttering guitar sits under Logan’s opening lyrics. There’s a more progressive feel here and a harder edge which is a nice contrast to the previous track. The enticing Eastern-flavoured mildly psychedelic ‘The Forgotten Maiden’s Pearl’ sees Logan’s poetic lyrics backed beautifully by the band as the tale twists and turns, but it’s far more than a mere oddity or an interlude and it’s one of the real ear-worms for me after repeated listens.
‘Until the Sky Comes Down’ is another highlight, and a song that exemplifies the power of this brand of hard rock – it’s sure-footed, assured, swaggering and I love that killer descending chorus, it’s killer. ‘Black Heart Days’ is right up there too – a mid-tempo brooding tour-de-force that allows Logan to shine and Lynch to let rip as the song rides one of the biggest grooves here.
And that same high bar continues to be hit: ‘Black Mountain’ is the sort of song which allows the band to breathe and expand the sound, its chunky,heavy and Logan works it well at a low smoulder before the groove of the chorus kicks in. ‘Dog Town Mystics’ which kicks in directly after continues the darker feel of the album, it’s a biting lyric and a wonderful song.
Closer ‘Miles Away’ may well be our favourite track here, it’s an expansive, slower song with an almost Pink Floyd-like feel to it and it’s melody just sticks and stays. Bonus Track ‘Until I Get My Gold’ strips it all back to the bare bones of the Blues and is just as rewarding.Man this is a great album.
Produced by Chris “The Wizard” Collier (Lynch Mob; Flotsam And Jetsam; Prong; KXM), ‘The Brotherhood’ sounds great. It’s and album that’s full and rich without feeling overworked, and the band sound fluid yet tight. As far as songs go the goods are well and truly delivered on an album that could well equal their best. I’d certainly be booking my tickets to upcoming shows if tracks from ‘The Brotherhood’ get a good outing. This has to be up there with the best Hard Rock releases of the year.

Two more: 1. Do I replace the seal on the shaft? If I saw any oil leaking around the shaft I would.
2. I saw I should use sealant on the bottom bolts - any particular kind? Any thread sealant should do the job. I used Permatex thread sealant.
If you have to replace it, the seal for the shaft is available in a Felpro kit for LT-1's but is hard to find by itself. The kit is about $10, so it's not too bad.

The Rules of Magic
#1 There are two kinds of Magic: Creation Magic – the Magic of Making – and Old Magic – the Magic of Unmaking. Something made with Creation Magic can only be negated with Making. If the magic of Unmaking is used, a cataclysmic instability can occur. Think antimatter.
When I was little, I believed magic was real, and if I only knew how, I could access it. I thought Candy Land existed in the clouds, and little people lived and died inside the television. When a TV repairman came to our house I was upset because I thought he was removing all the cowboys and Indians that died during TV shows like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and the Lone Ranger.
I’ve outgrown those fantasies and left my belief in real magic behind, but I still believe in the reality of fantasy. How’s that for an oxymoron?
I love contemporary and dark fantasy, but not usually high fantasy. Although, I do really like Jason J. Nugent’s Curse of the Drakku series. I was lucky enough to beta read a couple of them, and then I had to buy one. Check him out.
Gatekeeper, Book 1: Kerrick Malone’s wife is salughtered by otherworldly spider creatures directed by a malevolent entity, Nadra. Kerrick must learn to control real Magic that can open portals to other worlds. He meets Arden McEwan, who, like him, possesses supernatural abilities. Kerrick and Arden must prevent Nadra from unleashing her hideous spider creatures on all the worlds.
In a previous blog post I recounted how the idea for Gatekeeper came from a friend’s dream. In my friend’s dream a woman appears in a lightning bolt. She is riding a horse and is wearing old fashioned clothing and a leather cloak. The horse thunders through driving rain and arrives at a tavern in the middle of nowhere.
My friend wondered if there was a story in this dream image, but she had no idea what any of it meant. I knew exactly what it meant. I knew who the woman was and the whole story behind her appearance. The entire novel flashed into my mind. It was about gateways between worlds and those who could operate them.
“Well,” my friend said, “if you want the idea, you can have it.”
Thus, Gatekeeper was conceived.
I had the story, but not the nitty-gritty, the most important of which was how magic works. I had to invent my own rules of Magic (with a capital M) to conform to my narrative.
Lyriel, a wizard, has come from her world to ours to save her newborn son from the clutches of Nadra, an evil wizard. Lyriel’s actions will have repercussions in both worlds and result in a life or death confrontation.
Chaos, a dark fantasy, the sequel to Gatekeeper, is available on Amazon.
Let me know what you think.

Big Brother Evictee Braden: The Game "Makes You Insane"
Braden Bacha seemed to be playing Big Brother 11 the same way he lives his surfer-dude life. He was the easygoing clown who seemed to float through the house with no real worry about anything. But that all changed when he found himself as the surprise replacement nominee after Lydia made a deal with the athletes' clique. Though he fought to stay (and fought with fellow houseguests!), Braden was the first evictee of the 11th season. We chatted with him about his rollercoaster week in the house, being called a racist, and why he's glad to be back in the real world. (Hint: He missed his mommy.)
TVGuide.com: It has to tough to be the first one out. How are you feeling?
Braden: It feels great. Unfortunately, it was me [who was evicted], but it's my mother's birthday next week, so I'm excited to see her. I missed her quite a bit. I'm just thinking about the positive things: the things that I've learned and the experience in general. I'm just so thankful to have had that [experience] and the challenge to make it out of there alive.
TVGuide.com: Most of what we saw of you was more class clown than schemer. Why do you think Lydia set the athletes' sights on you?
Braden: I'm constantly contemplating that myself. I was thrown off extremely — I couldn't believe it. We had such a great understanding and relationship in the beginning. For her to do that was so inappropriate. She had the votes [to stay], but she went out of her way to just ruin me and sold herself out to the athletes.
TVGuide.com: That obviously led to the fight between the two of you. What put you over the edge?
Braden: It was complete frustration. I knew deep down that Kevin and Lydia had sold me out even before the veto competition — I saw their actions and reactions, and Russell confirmed everything — so I just wanted to call [Lydia] out. It got heated and things were said out of maliciousness, things I obviously didn't mean, but when you're stuck in a house for so many days with people who are driving you nuts, it's hard not to do anything about it. But I did apologize.
TVGuide.com: What were you thinking when Chima brought up your comments again just before the houseguests voted?
Braden: Chima said things that were way over the top. She knew it was going to be close, so she did whatever she could to get more votes on her side. I didn't really let it affect me because I know it is a game that is completely chaotic. But it seems like she is up and down daily, almost bi-polar. I don't affiliate with those kinds of people anyways.
TVGuide.com: Do you want to address any of her allegations?
Braden: No. It's sad that she has to stoop to those silly levels.
TVGuide.com: Do you think calling you a racist and misogynist affected the vote?
Braden: Ronnie was the big upset, but I think he had already made his decision. I saw him talking to Jessie about five minutes before the vote, and he was probably convinced to stay on [the athletes'] team even though he had promised us for days and days that he was going to be with us.
TVGuide.com: Is there any way that Ronnie's strategy isn't going to come back to haunt him?
Braden: I think it is definitely putting a damper on him and his longevity. People obviously know that he is two-faced, so I think he won't have longer than three weeks in the house.
TVGuide.com: What would you do differently if you had another shot?
Braden: I played respectfully, I played truthfully, and I played with the grace of God. I tried to stand strong to my word as much as possible, but unfortunately I said some things that were intense — and I apologize.
TVGuide.com: Who has the best shot of winning? And is it who you want to see win?
Braden: If you had asked that question yesterday, I would have said Ronnie had a great chance, but now he threw himself into a bad situation. Personally, I hope Jeff and Casey can stay strong the longest. They are both great people, tough competitors, and they are capable mentally, strategically and physically of doing everything to win.
TVGuide.com: What should America know about life in the Big Brother house?
Braden: It's complete conspiracy in there. Beware. It's scary, it's intense — it's like a rollercoaster. It makes you insane. Luckily, I made it out of there alive.http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=106804883003&h=PLgws&u=LPdw2&ref=mf

Photography in Bhutan
A desire for unique destination is what drives photographers to Bhutan be it professional or amateur there is indeed a SUBJECT for everyone; the country remains largely untouched even today with its pristine landscape, rich biodiversity and rich Buddhist culture which translates into daily life of people. Depending on your choice of subject, photography tour can be undertaken anytime of the year; however spring and fall are ideally the best time to view Bhutan through lens. During this period weather is mild and sunny with clear blue skies and many of the important religious festivals also falls during these seasons. If you are a bird watcher, the endangered black-necked crane arrives in Bhutan in October and stays until March; however not limited to only this subjects. The charm of Bhutan has never failed to inspire and delight photographers and funny it may seem these photographers return yet again, to take a shot at same subject, however viewing it from a different perspective, so is the magic of Bhutan mired in myth and mystery.
Below we have listed a few pointers for photographers.
- Bhutanese loved to photographed, however if you see signs of indignation, refrain from taking any further pictures.
- Photography is prohibited in the interior of temples and rooms within the monasteries. One is advised to inquire before photographing in such places.
- Proper attire is required while photographing the festivals. Please try not to block the views of others. Telephoto, mid range zoom lenses is advisable as subjects may move very fast allowing one virtually no time to change the lens.
- 17-40mm f/4, 24-105mm f/4, and 70-200mm f/4 zooms lens would suffice your requirement, however depending on your needs you may bring other type of lens.
- Special permits can be obtained should you have special photographic requests.
- Please don’t take your destination as livening museum
- Professional photographic equipment is not easily available in Bhutan; hence you are recommended to carry your complete equipments including spare batteries.

Public health law jobs are the main source of employment for someone who earns a dual MPH/JD degree. The role focuses on improving public health for all populations primarily at the legislative level, and those types of jobs are usually found in health departments at the local, state and federal levels. The degree combines legal training with the basics of public health in order to teach a student how to be effective in their role.
What Kind of Work is There for a Dual MPH/JD Degree?
Working in the field of public health involves invoking existing laws in pursuit of public health issues as well as drafting and refining legislative proposals for governing bodies. The field of public health includes food safety and fortification, ongoing enforcement of existing health laws, ensuring that legal compliance does not unduly burden those who uphold the laws, and advocating for public health policy to help the underserved.
The dual MPH/JD degree offers the opportunity to further refine the type of public health field you want to engage with. For example: if your passion involves helping women gain access to health and reproductive care, you can select a curriculum that focuses on maternal and child health for the public health portion of the masters degree. In the event that you want to help create legislation that helps the population at large, you can take a curriculum that focuses on health policy and administration.
Holders of this degree can also find international employment in countries that are seeking to build public health solutions for existing problems. Countries around the world, regardless of first, second or third-world status, tend to have some kind of public health issue that’s not well-known outside their borders. The general causes of the public health issues are often similar to those in other countries, but require someone who can look from the outside-in and help the local communities overcome their particular health issue.
Can I Find Work in Other Fields With a Dual MPH/JD Degree?
Yes, there are jobs in the private sector that are suited for someone who holds a dual MPH/JD degree. One area of employment is in the private health provider industry such as hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and nursing homes. Private health providers have a vested interest in making sure their concerns are heard when there are proposals that can affect their industry. They also have programs that are funded by public aid programs at the federal, state and local levels and need employees that are capable of negotiating the administrative and law side of these programs.
Private employers that accept public aid programs have to be careful with how they bill these programs lest they get audited and fined for improper practices. Someone who has a dual MPH/JD degree is capable of navigating the laws and regulations behind public health programs. They can keep their employer out of trouble with the agency administering the programs by creating internal rules to prevent mistakes that can become costly.
Other areas of employment for someone with a dual MPH/JD degree can find work at insurance companies, human rights organizations, general counsel in a health facility or work for organizations with a vested interest in public health policies and their challenges.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has also created a demand for the dual MPH/JD degree. The ACA has core elements that have remained in place since its passage, but other elements have been tweaked, changed, or outright eliminated. An attorney that has public health training is well-suited to interpreting the ongoing changes to the act and how they apply to the medical industry as a whole.
Why Should I Get a Dual MPH/JD Degree?
If you have a passion for helping people, are interested in improving health care access for everyone and have an interest in legal studies, you should get a dual MPH/JD degree. The degree is very specific in terms of its education and area of focus and is designed for students who want to get involved in the healthcare field from a legal standpoint. It’s also easier to get public health law jobs with a dual MPH/JD degree than without. Private employers also seek out individuals who carry the dual degree for their specialized knowledge, and tend to offer excellent pay to access the knowledge and skills that someone with a dual MPH/JD degree has earned.
The dual MPH/JD degree offers entry into an area of law that has the potential to make people’s lives better through improved access to health care. It can also lead to a long-term career working for the government or open up the opportunity to run for public office and craft legislation that’s focused on helping people for the common good.

institution: harvard graduate school of design
instructor: max kuo
time: 3rd semester core / fall 2014
project: hotel / gym / thermal bath
location: miami, florida
Our third semester core project was a challenge in absorbing the climate, culture, and character of an assigned city. Miami, a city of heat, humidity, and indulgence, has a distinct architectural character directly influenced by its climate. The beachside vernacular, outdoor lifestyles, skyscraper typologies, and weather patterns were utilised to consolidate a hotel, gym, and a thermal bath on a downtown site. Blurring of interior and exterior spaces and dispersed micro-climates in a vertical building became the two generative concepts.
The massing is an aggregate tower of two story villa units, posed above a podium of exterior pools and gym program. The villa typology was chosen because of its privacy, fewer shared walls, semi-self sufficiency, but also shared circulation and communal programs with other villas. The rooms are larger than the typical hotel room and have access to more exterior space. The hotel arranges the modules such that each unit has two shared exterior spaces as well as a smaller, private balcony. Each floor of the hotel’s staggered module units is arranged in sequence of three: roof terrace, first floor of a unit, and second floor of another unit on the same hotel floor. This sequence of three is repeated around the perimeter of the hotel, though altered depending on the facade to deflect direct sun exposure and maximize views (east and north facades angle north east, south facade angles southeast, and west facade angles northwest).

Thanks, hey and welcome to Computer Forums, (whoops, that's the moderators line).
Yeah, well many forums have disallowed IS infiltration as a discussion topic (primarily due to their affiliations or sponsorships with anti-cyper-terroist organisations). On the other hand, some forums thrieve on it. Although what about Linux viruses? pshhhhh, no one hates Linux enough to write one.
I think it was my brother who claimed that the likelyhood of someone WRITING linux viruses was equal to the likely hood of someone else EXPECTING their Mac virus to make headlines.
Anyway, cya later

Ombudsman finds no fault in Commission’s handling of a complaint relating to alleged dominance abuse by Google. On 7 November 2016, the European Ombudsman (Ombudsman) published a decision finding no maladministration by the European Commission (Commission) in its handling of a complaint alleging abuse of a dominant position by Google. In a complaint considered separately to the Commission’s investigation into Google’s online search activities, a French IT company (the complainant) made a complaint alleging abuse by Google of its dominant position in “online search” services. Unhappy with the Commission’s conduct during this investigation, namely their lack of transparency, the complainant subsequently passed its criticisms to the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman disagreed with the complainant’s criticisms, noting that it has not been mandatory for the Commission to provide a copy of its preliminary assessment, nor were they obliged to take account of the complainant’s views regarding the second set of commitments proposed by Google in the context of the main Google investigation. A complaint alleging bias by the former Competition Commissioner was also rejected. Nevertheless, the Ombudsman did express concern about the Commission’s delay in sending the complainant a pre-rejection letter, but also acknowledged that the Commission’s limited resources were taken up with the ongoing (main priority) investigation into Google.
Commission conditionally approves acquisition of Merial by Boehringer Ingelheim. On 9 November 2016, the Commission conditionally approved Germany’s Boehringer Ingelheim’s acquisition of Merial, the French Sanofi’s animal health business, after Boehringer Ingelheim agreed to divest a number of animal health vaccines and pharmaceuticals. This approval was the last stage in the asset swap between Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim; an exchange of Sanofi’s animal health business, Merial and Boehringer Ingelheim’s consumer healthcare business (which was already conditionally cleared by Commission in August 2016). The Commission noted that the overlap of Merial and Boehringer Ingelheim’s EU activities lay in producing swine and ruminant vaccines for animals, anti-inflammatory drugs in injectable and oral forms, anti-microbials, and other specialty products and osteoarthritis feed nutrients for pets. In order to address the Commission's competition concerns, the two companies offered to divest a number of Merial's marketed and pipeline products, including its existing vaccines Circovac, Progressis, Parvovax, Parvovurax and Mucossifa and pharmaceuticals Ketofen, Wellicox, Allevinix, Genixine, Equioxx Injectable, and Equioxx Paste. The divestment also included the full transfer of production technology (antigens and finished products) to the purchaser, who has been identified as Ceva Santé Animale (Ceva). Ceva is an established company in the animal health sector with expertise and experience in the relevant production technologies and an established distribution and marketing network throughout Europe. The Commission noted Ceva has “strong capabilities and incentives to run the divested businesses successfully in the long term”, however the divestment to Ceva will require separate merger approval from the relevant competition authorities.
Ecuador joins EU free trade agreement with Colombia and Peru. On 11 November 2016, the Commission, the member states, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru signed the protocol of accession of Ecuador, enabling Ecuador to join the Commission’s free trade agreement with Colombia and Peru. The Commission noted “the agreement eliminates high tariffs and tackles technical barriers to trade. It also liberalises service markets, protects EU geographical indicators and opens up public procurement markets. It includes commitments on the enforcement of labour and environmental standards, as well as rapid and effective dispute settlement procedures”. It will provide all parties with new market access opportunities; the Commission and its member states will gain an additional market for its automobiles, alcoholic beverages and dairy products, and Ecuador will be able to trade their main exports with the other parties, being their fisheries, banana, cut flowers, and cacao. Ecuador will access the agreement based on the principle of regional integration with the Andean Community. The agreement will also remain open for signature by Bolivia, the other member of the Andean Community. Parties aim to finalise the remaining procedural steps before the end of the year so they will be able to begin provision application on 1 January 2017.
Commission approves revised French energy capacity mechanism plans. On 8 November 2016, the Commission approved France’s revised plan to implement a national market-wide capacity mechanism where capacity obligations are traded between electricity capacity providers (power plants or demand side operators) and electricity suppliers. In order to alleviate the Commission’s initial concerns that these plans would be favourable to certain companies and, therefore, may breach State aid rules, France has made certain revisions to its energy-capacity mechanism plans, which aim to ensure the security of electricity supply. The Commission noted that the inclusion of longer-duration contracts of up to seven years to entice new participants into the market sufficiently addressed their initial concerns of certain State aid breaches. France also pledged to introduce a series of measures to prevent market manipulation, in particular, France stated that the capacity declarations of providers will be compared to historical benchmarks, to prevent providers from under-certifying their capacities to artificially drive up capacity prices. The French capacity mechanism will also be open to providers located in neighbouring Member States; it is the first mechanism to explicitly include and remunerate foreign capacities, thereby also contributing to building an Energy Union in Europe.
CMA’s decision on Novomatic’s acquisition of Talarius. On 28 October 2016, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) decided to refer the completed acquisition by Novo Invest GmbH, acting through Novomatic UK Ltd of Talarius Limited, unless undertakings in lieu are offered. The parties operate a total of 264 adult gaming centres in the UK, overlapping in 15 local areas. The CMA identified concerns in respect of five local areas of the 15 which overlapped, noting that in these five areas there would be an insufficient number of other adult gaming centres or similar bodies to give Novomatic effective competition. The CMA therefore concluded that the merger gave rise to “a realistic prospect of a substantial lessening of competition as a result of horizontal unilateral effects in the supply of gaming products in five local areas: Chesterfield, Clapham, Dartford, Darlington (around Northgate) and Grimsby (around Freeman Street)”. Novomatic had until 4 November 2016 to offer an undertaking to the CMA. If no such undertaking was offered or accepted by the CMA, then the CMA will refer the merger for a phase II investigation.
CMA approves Acadia Healthcare’s purchase of Priory. On 10 November 2016, the CMA announced that is has accepted undertakings in lieu of a reference to a phase II investigation, in Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc’s (Acadia) purchase of 21 Partnerships in Care and Priory Group No1 Ltd. (Priory) hospitals from BC Partners. In July this year, the CMA voiced concerns over ensuring improved choice and better outcomes in mental healthcare services. The CMA stated the lack of competition resulting from Acadia acquiring 21 additional hospitals could raise prices for the National Health Service and lower the quality of care given to patients. In order to appease the CMA’s concerns, Acadia offered to divest 21 of their existing hospitals and one unopened hospital site; this was accepted by the CMA.

Some time between CESes 2012 and 2013, a secret illuminati of case-makers convened and decided that your smartphone needs to go swimming with you.
That polycarbonate cabal includes, among others, Otterbox’s new $99 water-sealed Armor case that can protect the Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhones 4, 4S, and 5 in up to 6.6 feet of water for 30 minutes of time. In addition to keeping out H20 from the beach, the new Armor series also protects against dust, is drop- proof up to 10 feet, and can withstand two tons of pressure, so we learned at CES 2013's Showstoppers event.
The re-enforced polycarbonate case seals in phones with a pair of rugged-looking metal clasps and a layer of Otterbox’s proprietary silicone cushioning lines the inside to protect the phone. The phone’s still fully accessible within the case, even for making calls. Otterbox uses screens to cover the speaker ports so that sound is still audible from a phone locked tight in the case. Ports are protected with extra-tight rubber covers.
All of that protection means you’re adding some serious bulk to your phone. We can’t picture this case fitting comfortably into any pockets, not even your guilty-pleasure cargo pants. Then again, who has pockets at the swimming pool anyway.
Look for the Armor series case to go on sale in February 22nd.

Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
Cf. Giambattista/Richardson/Richardson, Physics, 2/e, Conceptual Question 16.14
A Physics 205B student holds a charged plastic rod near a neutral conducting rod, hanging from a non-conducting string attached to its center. Discuss why the neutral conducting rod will always be attracted by the charged plastic rod, regardless of whether the charged plastic rod is positive or negative. Explain your reasoning by drawing diagrams using the properties of charges and induction.
Solution and grading rubric:
Correct. Electrons are mobile in the conductor (while protons in atomic nuclei sites are fixed). Bringing a positively/negatively charged plastic rod nearby will attract/repel the electrons in the conductor, which will cause the end of the conductor to have a negative/positive charge, which is a stronger attractive force (due to being closer) than the positive/negative charge on the far side of the condcutor, which will have a weaker repulsion force (due to being farther). Thus the net force on the conductor will be attractive.
As (p), but argument indirectly, weakly, or only by definition supports the statement to be proven, or has minor inconsistencies or loopholes. One argument missing or switched. Has protons mobile in the conductor, or did not explicitly consider the second case where the plastic rod has the opposite charge.
Nearly correct, but argument has conceptual errors, or is incomplete. Both omissions in (r).
Limited relevant discussion of supporting evidence of at least some merit, but in an inconsistent or unclear manner.
Implementation/application of ideas, but credit given for effort rather than merit.
Irrelevant discussion/effectively blank.

How eating disorder affects an individual and his/her family
Despite the increased prevalence of eating disorders (ED) in Singapore, there still exists widespread misconception about this mental illness. For instance, eating disorders may be regarded as an ‘extreme diet’ or lifestyle choice where an individual can simply make a decision to “stop”. Few recognise that it is a serious mental illness that is severe and complex. Some may also believe that ED is exclusive to females only - but is this true? We will dialogue with mental health experts to better understand the various types and symptoms of EDs and how they affect individuals differently. We will also address common misconception surrounding ED and will share tips on how you can reach out to persons suspected of, or dealing with ED. The panelists will also share on current treatment interventions and how communities aid in preventive efforts.

Body Boundaries: The EtiquetteSG Anthologies Volume I
Because our history has been limited by frameworks of inequality and privilege.Because our stories speak of the good, sometimes the bad, but never the reality in between.Because everything women write does not have to fit into genres of feminine or feminist.Because bodies are boundaries. No, because they are not.Because being and becoming woman is never the same for any two individuals.Because our voices are many…
Body Boundaries is an anthology of words by twenty-seven women writers from Singapore. Comprising works of poetry and prose, the collection breaks down barriers between public and private, personal and political, to reveal both collective and diverse experiences threaded together by identity markers of gender and geography.

Illegal immigration is one of our country’s most divisive, intractable issues. The Simpson-Mazzoli Act of 1986 was supposed to solve it, but illegal immigration has continued to increase. This year’s attempt to craft comprehensive immigration reform legislation blew up in Congress. Given the record of failure for effective comprehensive reform, perhaps it is time to address the problem in incremental, piecemeal proposals.
Twelve to twenty million immigrants are in the United States illegally. This is socially corrosive. Respect for the law withers when masses of people disobey the law with impunity and government seems impotent to enforce it. Somehow, we must drastically reduce the number of illegal aliens in our country. To achieve this, two different ways are often suggested: deporting them and then sealing our porous borders, or reclassifying them so that they are not illegal.
Most of those who favor deportation are motivated by love of country and the honorable belief that those who break our laws should not be allowed to get away with doing so. However, I don’t believe that mass deportation is going to happen. Its implementation would be a logistical nightmare, requiring armies of law-enforcement personnel and possibly military troops (perhaps “aided” by citizen vigilantes) to conduct raids on neighborhood after neighborhood, like military sweeps in Iraqi cities. Politically, this isn’t a viable alternative. The party that attempts such a sweeping action will commit political suicide, driving the numerically decisive and currently-up-for-grabs Hispanic vote to the other party, as two GOP congressmen from Arizona who advocated an “uphold the law” strategy found out the hard way in the 2006 elections.
What can be done, then? First, let us reduce the incentives that draw illegals to our country. Of course, the primary incentive is our robust economy, teeming with opportunities, and we surely don’t want to change that! But we should at least stop rewarding illegals with the ultimate prize: automatic U.S. citizenship for their children born here. This is absurd: "Congratulations, Ms. Gonzalez! You have broken our laws, entered our country illegally, evaded the immigration service, and now your son has all the rights of U.S. citizenship." It is time to amend the Constitution so that the precious gift of citizenship is awarded only to babies born here of parents who are in the country legally.
Second, one way to reduce the number of Mexicans in the country illegally would be to make it easier for them to enter the country legally for a specific period of time to work on specific jobs. Finding a way to identify and register temporary workers has the potential to bring this segment of our underground economy above-ground. To be explicit, I oppose unlimited immigration, but neither do I accept the specious claim that we don’t need any of these workers. As much as 30 percent of this year’s crop of foods that are picked by hand went to waste for lack of pickers. An emerging shortage of nursing home employees is also becoming apparent. Let’s make arrangements for such productive work to be done legally by tax-paying visitors.
Third, we should rethink our longstanding policy (one enshrined in a Supreme Court decision several decades ago) of mandating that schools must provide free education and hospitals free health care to illegal immigrants. Why not have 10 percent of foreign temporary workers’ wages deducted for local social services that they consume? The current policy of giving away such services creates a powerful incentive for illegal immigration. Furthermore, this policy produces an inconsistency in our laws. Businesses that hire workers whose papers are bogus are subject to prosecution, whereas social service providers must accept illegals without question, and some city governments—the so-called “sanctuary cities”—openly defy federal law and actively help illegals evade detection. We can’t succeed in getting a grip on this problem if different segments of our society are working at cross-purposes. The unfair anti-business bias must go.
Fourth, let’s make the USA monolingual by law. Certainly everyone may speak and write whatever language they prefer, but when it comes to things like official business, this should be an English-only country. When I lived in Mexico, I spoke their language, and when they come here, they should speak ours, just as earlier generations of immigrants from around the globe learned to do. Let’s keep the melting pot working, and avoid the divisive impulses that plague bilingual countries like Canada.
We either reject immigrants, assimilate them, or let them cause the disintegration of our society. Which is it going to be?

I have never been an english major, nor do I claim to be an expert in the topic of good, solid writing form. However, I’ve had some observations on how posts are written. On one side, most people will say, “I don’t really care if my posts conform to a certain writing style.” That’s perfectly okay. I’d argue that writing styles, though, have more impact on an audience when the psychology or philosophy of the style is considered.
From my perspective, there is a western and an eastern-style writing system. I think most literature experts would agree with this and heck, they may even teach this in school. I don’t know. I’ve personally used both styles and will give some examples.
Western Style Writing
A Western style post typically has the thesis up front. What does the writer want to say. Grab the audience right from the start. The, “You had me at hello” sentiment.
In Western style writing, readers don’t want to sit around and wait for the punchline. We want to know right now what your point is. It is from this psychology that the art of the headline comes in. Brian Clark over at Copyblogger covers this kind of stuff in great depth and, sometimes, ad nauseum. In Journalism, the headline may be the most important part of an article and realistically, the search engines are setup with this assumption.
In my post the other day entitled Indeti.ca and the Art of the Launch, I conveyed a western lit style. My subject line was strong in relating the content of the post. My thesis is in the very first paragraph:
Ask any startup. The most difficult decision leading up to a public release is when and what? Some might argue that getting funding is the most difficult but a good startup avoids funding until later, if at all. Others might argue that the difficult part is getting the right mix of people and hitting milestones. That also is important, but not as important as the when and how.
See that? Startups and launch. The most important part is the when and how.
This statement clearly defines the scope of the rest of the article. As I progress through the article, I build on that thesis by providing supporting evidence (other companies who are just starting and had to deal with the same issues) and then solidly land a right hook on the company in question by bringing the point home. At the end of it all, I bring it all home in the larger context of the thesis.
Eastern Style Writing
The eastern style of writing is all about Zen. It’s very Buddhist in that sense. It understands that good things come to those who wait and that, in general, an article is an entire piece instead of a logical, and linear progression. An article written in an eastern style generally has the thesis statement in the middle of the piece. Everything, like the the planets in the solar system, revolves as a whole around it.
Take my recent essay for the Fourth of July. It is very much an Eastern Lit piece.
The thesis of the essay does not arrive until halfway through the article:
Patriotism is a love of country. Patriotism is not an act demonstrating a love of country. Patriotism is respect and honor. Patriotism is not a shallow public display of affection. Patriotism is the ability to stand back and say, “œWow, I’m blessed to be an American”. Patriotism is not “œAmerica and no one else.” Patriotism is recognizing that, at the end of the day, despite disagreement we can all stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of the freedom to disagree.
Leading up to this thesis statement was a story and supporting details: Katherine Lee Bates, Pikes Peak, America the Beautiful. The end wraps up the whole idea. Patriotism as demonstrated by politicians, quotes from other bloggers, etc.
Even the headline wasn’t overly compelling: America the Beautiful. What does that headline convey about the article? Not a whole lot, if I’m honest. (For what it’s worth, you probably should use more descriptive headlines simply because search engines are designed with the assumption that the headline will be very important to the rest of the content.)
It’s okay to use neither of these writing style or both, as I do. In my mind, the key is understanding the demographics of your audience and recognizing that how they think should reflect how you write. If your audience is largely a North American audience, you probably will be better off with a Western writing style unless you want to challenge them outside of their norms. For me, I find it more natural to write in an eastern style. It’s a more satisfying thought and writing process as it forces me to think long before I actually sit down to write.
How do you write?

Night flight from Lisbon to Helsinki. We arrived at the hotel at 7am local time and since it was my first time in Finland there was no time to lose! I slept two hours and after a fine breakfast I left to the city center to meet my friend Iina, Finnish, and who would guide me through Helsinki that day.
Helsinki is not very big and so we walked around the whole city (which resulted in 23km walked, my record so far on a layover). The whole city has many Russian and Scandinavian architectural influences, beautiful buildings, it is a very pleasant city to walk around. Along the Finnish capital we have several islands, Suomenlinna and Seurasaari being some of the most touristy and two of the places to visit – fortunately as I will have several chances to return there I prefer to do it in the summer – which also proves that it is impossible to see everything there is to see in Helsinki in one day.
After passing through the market square overlooking the islands, we visited Uspenski Cathedral, the largest orthodox church in Finland, from the time of the Russian occupation. We continued through the Katajanokka Skatudden neighborhood, of quite interesting architecture – Iina knows what I like! In fact what I liked the most about the city was its architecture in general, the contact with the sea, the wooden sailboats!
In the middle of autumn, the city was dotted with beautiful yellow leaves! We saw in the distance the small island of Tervasaari and decided to take a little walk there. After that the inevitable Helsinki Cathedral, or the White Cathedral, as it is known locally. Lutheran, and thus quite naked inside. From there we went to the central station, designed by the Finnish architect, Eliel Saarinen. Inside there is a Burger King that occupies part of the building, so also designed by Saarinen. We went then to Auditorium Finlandia, by the architect Alvar Aalto, probably the most known Finnish architect from all times.
Finally the most anticipated of the day, the Temppeliaukio church or Church of the Rock, a church built from a massive granite rock, whose interior was extracted to give shape to the walls. I went there on both days and in one of them the entrance was paid and on the other it wasn’t, so I didn’t understand the logic, maybe it was because the day it was paid there was a concert going on, which I was also told happened frequently. Still, according to the site it seems that it is always paid (3€).
I had dinner with the rest of the crew at Kiila restaurant where I had a very interesting reindeer burger.

I'm so excited to reveal the cover for my new series, Virtual Arcana.
Ready? Here it is! Woo hoo!
I love the cover because it represents the story so perfectly—a blend of old-fashioned and techy, romance and magic, reality and illusion, The Notebook meets The Matrix (with a sprinkling of The Giver). Some friends saw an early sneak peek and asked if the girl was real or a CGI (computer-generated image). That put a huge smile on my face because that is the perfect question for this series.” *insert mischievous smile here*
I want to give huge thanks to my friend and talented cover designer, Steve Graham of the INFINITY CREATIVE (www.TheInfinityCreative.com) for making my virtual reality-esque vision a beautiful reality. I mean, look at that font. Steve, you're a bad ass.
Virtual Arcana will release this fall serial style, meaning short episodes (averaging 15-20k) will be published frequently (official schedule TBA), instead of waiting 6-12 months between each long book in a trilogy.
Each episode will be named after one of the major arcana cards of a tarot deck.
Season 1- Episode List
0- The Fool
2-The High Priestess
2-The High Priestess
6- The Lovers
It’s an experiment for me as an author and for my readers. If Virtual Arcana develops a good following I’ll continue with season 2 and 3. That would mean 22 total episodes, one for each of the 22 major arcana tarot cards.
Summary of Virtual Arcana:
In a faraway future, Kelsey Zellar is starting her senior year at yet another school thanks to her twin sister’s troublesome obsession with outlawed virtual reality games.Every school they’ve ever attended is pretty much the same: lunchroom drama, rich kids binging on enhancement candies, and classmates rallying for or against the government’s strict control over everything from entertainment privileges to caffeine consumption.Unlike her sister, Kelsey follows the rules and keeps her nose out of trouble and politics while sniffing out her next flavored latte and favorite novel. But when Kelsey meets a charming book connoisseur, and accepts his offering of a tarot card, she takes the first step toward two new addictions: the guy of her dreams, and his illegal dealing of virtual escapes into her beloved storybooks.Kelsey straddles the worlds of fiction and reality, but is she a fool for believing in her own happy ending?
I realize some of my readers don’t/won’t care for episodic storytelling, so of course there will be the option to wait until the first season is complete and read all the episodes straight through as one full-length novel. But I wanted to offer my new series as a serial for those readers who dislike waiting so long to read more.
To celebrate, I'm giving away EIGHT ebooks of the first episode: The Fool.

Today, Tuesday, started as a terrifying day.
After a difficult Sunday morning, the rest of the day was good, and we gathered in the church at 6p.m for our Sunday worship. As well Monday was quiet day in general.
We woke up at 5.45 A.m. because of shooting very close to where we live, then it turned into a real battle, with heavy guns and explosions, and a very loud shouting of Allah wa Akbar – God is great!
It remained like this till 9.15, then stopped till 11.00, when they resumed the fight for half an hour.
And it remained calm till now 3.30P.m without knowing the result of the fight.
Few minutes ago, I went out to walk around and see what happened, nearly all streets are empty and many thieves stealing furniture of military center close to us!
I wrote in the morning on Facebook: It is very unusual to have your morning tea, with the “normal” music of guns and heavy machine guns and the shouting “allah akbar”!!! Thank you Lord for your presence with us!
Would you please pray for an Iraqi family, attending our church; they can’t go back to Iraq, as there is no answer for their immigration papers, and those who call themselves “revolution” gave the Iraqis and Lebanese 3 day to leave Syria or they will kill them!

“Those are the magic three words. I didn’t care what the obstacle was in my life. I knew what I wanted to do, and I was going to make that happen no matter what.”
Niecy Nash, née Carol Denise Ensley, was born on February 23, 1970, in Palmdale, California to Margaret Ensley. She spent her childhood in St. Louis, Missouri and southern California near Los Angeles.
Nash knew early that she wanted to perform. At age 5 a special by Lola Falana inspired her to tell her grandmother she wanted to “Be on TV and be black and fabulous.” Nash’s early life was also marked by two sobering events. At the age of 15, Nash witnessed her mother being shot by a boyfriend, who then set the house on fire with Nash inside of it. Mother and daughter survived the ordeal and became closer, but there was yet more tragedy to come. In 1993, Nash’s brother Michael was shot and killed at school. In the wake of that horrific incident, Margaret founded M.A.V.I.S (Mothers Against Violence in Schools), an organization dedicated to informing the public about the violence children can encounter in schools. Nash, whose efforts to help her mother cope revealed a talent for comedy, is a spokesperson for the organization.
Putting her Bachelor of Arts in Drama from California State University at Dominguez Hill to good use, Nash made her professional acting debut in 1995 in the film Boys on the Side. Since then Nash has appeared in numerous popular TV shows and films. She hosted Clean House, a reality show on the Style Network from 2003 to 2010 and won a Daytime Emmy in 2010 for it. Her other acting credits include Deputy Raineesha Williams and T.T on comedy show Reno 911!, the lead role in Claws, and Flo Kennedy in Mrs. America.
Nash has earned many distinctions. She was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series 2015 and 2016 for her work in the series Getting On. Nash received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for television in 2018, something she’d told Ed Asner she would do when she was just 8 years old (maybe 9), she says. Asner attended her star ceremony all those years later.
In 2019, Nash was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role as Deloris Wise in When They See Us, a miniseries created by Ava DuVernary based on the true story of the Central Park 5. Nash has recently been cast in an upcoming ABC limited series called Women of the Movement, where she will play Alma Carthan, Emmett Till’s grandmother.
Nash has three children, Dominic, Donielle, and Dia, who she shares with her first husband Don Nash. They were married from 1994-2007. She married Jay Tucker in 2011 and announced their divorce in 2019, which was finalized in March of 2020. Shortly thereafter, Nash married singer Jessica Betts on August 29, 2020 in a small ceremony in front of close friends and family. The two first met and became friends over social media in 2015. She pushed back on the idea that she was coming out when she shared her marriage to Betts saying “I don’t feel like my marriage is my coming out of anywhere, but rather, going into myself and being honest about who I love. And I’m not limiting myself on what that love is supposed to look like.”
We offer this biography with gratitude and admiration for Niecy Nash’s unapologetic and pioneering contributions to film, television, and building a safer world.

Nation to Nation
Thru December 31, 2021
Presented by: Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian
From a young age, most Americans learn about the Founding Fathers, but are told very little about equally important and influential Native diplomats and leaders of Indian Nations. Treaties lie at the heart of the relationship between Indian Nations and the United States, and Nation to Nation: Treaties Between the United States and American Indian Nations is the story of that relationship, including the history and legacy of U.S.–American Indian diplomacy from the colonial period through the present.

If my life doesn’t turn out quite the way I’d have liked, I might blame it on my happy, relatively uneventful childhood. I didn’t get adopted by a pair of aging siblings on Prince Edward Island, didn’t get to play around bombed-out sections of London during the Blitz, never swam with the whales in New Zealand. Growing up sure looks like it’s a lot more exciting, and more meaningful, in the movies.
Bless Me, Ultima is just the sort of coming-of-age tale that makes me feel my own Generic-American upbringing — devoid of any particular ethnic flavor — was colorless. Which reminds me, yet again, how grateful I am to live in a world and an era overflowing with stories that allow us to peer into lives that we’ll never ourselves lead. That’s true even when I wish a story were told more effectively than is this film.
Adapted from a 1972 novel now often taught in schools, Bless Me, Ultima, is about a boy named Tony, the youngest member of a Chicano family in 1940s rural New Mexico. One summer an elderly woman called Ultima comes to live in his home. She’s a curandera (a sort of healer or shaman in Latin American culture) and considered an outcast by some who believe she practices witchcraft that conflicts with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Tony is a good boy, with a deep faith and desire to obey all he’s been told about God by his mother and priest. Yet he’s also drawn to the animistic teachings of Ultima, who takes him along as she gathers medicinal plants from the earth and drives an evil spirit from an ailing man.
Tony believes in a strict line between good and evil, and in the dangers of sin. When he finds members of his own family indulging in what he knows are sinful pursuits, and when Ultima (whom he knows to be good) is accused of being evil because of her practices, his worldview becomes much more muddled. He looks forward to his first communion, after his mother tells him that consuming the Eucharist will make him one with God. He decides that simple act will bring with it the moral clarity for which he yearns. He is, of course, disappointed afterwards.
Further danger is injected into the tale after Tony witnesses a murder by one of the most powerful men in town. This cartoonish villain (who rides his horse while dressed all in black for much of the movie) is also the father of three daughters reputed to be witches, one of the film’s many magical-realist flourishes. These elements never meshed well with the more effective and straightforward matters of Tony’s family life and dealings with his school chums.
Bless Me, Ultima loses focus. Instead of spending so much time futilely hoping to mesmerize us with fantastical mysteries — like whether Ultima has the ability to transform into an owl — I wish the filmmakers had sought to deliver a more interesting meditation on the realist question at the story’s heart: why is there evil in this world?

Georgia’s Department of Corrections (GDOC) incarcerates all pregnant state prisoners at the Helms Transitional Center in Atlanta. There, according to GDOC officials, they receive 24-hour care from nurses, see an OB/GYN on a weekly basis and have access to on-site ultrasound equipment.
But in county facilities, which house most pregnant women who are awaiting trial, prenatal care varies from jail to jail and is often lacking.
A lawsuit filed in state court in June 2012 by DeShawn Nicole Balka, 25, who was 5½ months pregnant and jailed in Clayton County for a probation violation for misdemeanor marijuana possession, claims that jail officials could have prevented what happened to her and her unborn baby had she received adequate care for her high-risk pregnancy.
For days, Balka suffered from dehydration and cramping that she said was ignored by jail officials. Then, in the pre-dawn hours of April 28, 2012, she sat for hours on a toilet in her cell, complaining of nausea and stomach pain. She began screaming for a nurse when her baby was born in the toilet. Her cellmates banged on the bars to get the attention of guards, but DeShawn’s baby, Inyx O’Neil Balka, did not survive.
Clayton County officials have said they provided adequate medical care, but none, including Sheriff Kimbrough, have stated anything else in light of the lawsuit. It is unknown whether Clayton County has specific guidelines on prenatal care for prisoners or a written policy on the controversial practice of using restraints on pregnant prisoners. Fewer than half the county jails in Georgia have such policies.
Some counties treat pregnant prisoners at least somewhat humanely. In Fulton County, jail medical staff can prescribe prenatal vitamins or bed rest. But in places like Cobb County and Cherokee County, pregnant prisoners are restrained with leg irons or handcuffs while being transported and forced to wear chain belts around their waists.
Cobb County Jail Col. Don Bartlett said restraints depend on a prisoner’s charges and her behavior, but that “it comes down to common sense more than anything.”
At least 17 states across the country have taken the “common sense” approach of banning the practice of shackling prisoners during labor. [See: PLN, Sept. 2012, p.14]. Florida began prohibiting shackles “during labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery” in July 2012, while legislation passed in California on September 28, 2012 expanded that state’s ban on shackling pregnant prisoners to forbid the use of “leg irons, waist chains and handcuffs behind the body on women who are pregnant or who are in recovery following the birth of a child unless deemed necessary for the safety of the inmate, the staff, or the public.”
A similar bill introduced in Georgia in 2011 would have applied to pregnant women held in county jails, but the legislation didn’t get out of committee.
Balka and prisoner advocates, including the ACLU of Georgia, noted that public safety must be balanced with providing a healthy environment for pregnant women. Prisoners “should always be treated like a human,” Balka said, adding that Clayton County officials had failed to properly document her pregnancy, supply adequate nutrition or perform proper fetal monitoring.
Her attorney, Michael Mills, said that Inyx’s death was due to “fundamental flaws in the system.”
“For anybody to have their baby die because of a misdemeanor pot charge is completely ludicrous,” he added. “Clearly, this is a problem, and something is wrong.” Balka’s lawsuit against the county and Sheriff Kimbrough, which was removed to federal court on July 27, 2012, remains pending. See: Balka v. Clayton County, U.S.D.C. (N.D. Ga.), Case No. 1:12-cv-02599-ODE.

I filled the birdbath for the umpteenth time. Those birdies do love their water! Thought I’d share some photos of the garden springing to life.
Day lily, Butterfly Bush (I got it cut back this year!) hopefully it won’t break like last year. Bee balm, Vinca, Catmint, Iris, and Lorapetlum in her full glory. Enjoy!

The party’s over
Obama’s spiritual adviser is a foaming-at-the-mouth conspiracy nut and the economy is in a slow counter-clockwise swirl. Abandon hope, all ye who read on.
“Questions far outnumber answers” when it comes to Barack Obama’s so-called “spiritual advisor,” Pastor Jeremiah Wright, says the Toronto Sun‘s Peter Worthington. “As Obama keeps reminding Americans: ‘Words matter,’ ” he notes. So how is it that Wright’s extremist comments on race, Israel, 9/11 and AIDS are only coming to light now? And what does it say about Obama’s judgment that he waited this long to disavow the man who presided over his marriage and baptized his children?
Obama’s claims never to have heard Wright preach as he does in the incendiary videos that sparked this controversy strike The Globe and Mail‘s John Ibbitson as “unlikely.” Nevertheless, he argues, the comments should be taken “in context.” Sure, black liberation theology holds that America “deserved” the 9/11 attacks and that Washington created the AIDS virus to kill black people. “But the broader message emerges from a cultural tradition forged in slavery and Jim Crow.” We’ll take Ibbitson’s word for it. But we’d prefer someone in the White House who, upon hearing such rubbish, would put his children’s hats and mittens on and storm out in search of a saner house of worship.
Five years after the invasion of Iraq, Jeffrey Simpson says it’s “easy to forget how many people supported the invasion of Iraq, including many people in Canada”—not least the Canadian Alliance in opposition and media that “did not do an adequate job of scrutinizing what was being said.” If there’s a point to this column beyond that, we’ve missed it completely.
By loaning JPMorgan $30 billion to buy Bear Stearns, the Toronto Star‘s Richard Gwyn argues, the Federal Reserve has effectively “nationalized” a company that must bear significant blame for the subprime mortgage crisis. And “the money to do this is coming from ordinary American taxpayers,” he adds, “many suffering the consequences of that financial crisis in the form of lost houses and jobs.” What the Fed is doing, Gwyn argues, is “engage[ing] in a massive exercise of moral hazard,” laying the groundwork for the next generation of unscrupulous financiers to lay the groundwork for the next crisis.
“When the banks fail,” the Star‘s Thomas Walkom warns, “and in everything but name, Bear Stearns did fail …. the whole system jams up.” Americans are already buying fewer “cars, trucks, brake linings [and] two by fours – all things that we sell them,” he warns. And as more and more banks discover “that great chunks of their investment portfolios are turning to dross,” and with Canadian governments unwilling to run a deficit even temporarily to maintain services, Walkom assures us the party is well and truly over here in our peaceable Dominion.
Bob Rae’s return to the House of Commons “has noticeably deepened the Liberal gene pool and sharpened an Official Opposition attack squad with a strangely wobbly government in its sights,” Don Martin writes in the Calgary Herald. But whether the addition of another “hefty alpha male” to the party’s front benches is cause for hope or concern depends entirely on what you think of Stéphane Dion. “[H]aving a bounty of replacements isn’t exactly what Dion craves as a measure of his bench strength,” he notes. But it says here that excessive bench strength is always better than none at all—which, it also says here, is pretty much Stephen Harper’s situation.
Meanwhile, Sun Media’s Greg Weston informs us, House Speaker Peter Milliken is leading a five-MP junket to Peru—a venture Weston derides as a mixture of sightseeing, wining-and-dining and pointless glad-handing. (At least Tory MPs Ted Menzies and James Rajotte will “actually get to talk to journalists,” he quips, “albeit only Peruvians.”) This comes at a time when Foreign Affairs is issuing rather dire travel warnings for certain parts of the country, Weston notes, though we’re not quite clear on what that has to do with anything.
Homeless in Canada
The Globe‘s Christie Blatchford reports from the trial of three Canadian army reservists accused of beating a homeless Toronto man to death outside the Moss Park Armoury, then turning their violent attentions to a female passerby who threatened to call police. Prosecutor Hank Goody says he “expects the evidence will indicate one or more of the three soldiers ‘was apparently under the influence of alcohol.’ ”
Also in the Globe, Margaret Wente points to a CBC Newsworld documentary as evidence that helping the homeless is far more difficult than your average left-leaning politician makes out. After the film’s director, Nijole Kuzmickas, takes a young drug-addicted couple under her wing, the male half of the
relationship “spends the rent money on a dog, and they run out of food.” The lesson “is not that the homeless can’t be helped,” Wente stresses, but that “the problems of the people we see sleeping on the streets are more intractable and complex than most of us imagine.”
Israel, meet Tibet
Andrew Cohen, writing in the Ottawa Citizen, tries to imagine what will go through the mind of German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her historic address to the Knesset in Jerusalem today. Neither she nor Ehud Olmert can pretend to inhabit the world of the Holocaust, he notes—indeed, Merkel was born after the war and can bear guilt for the Third Reich only through concerted, valiant effort. But that, Cohen contends, is exactly what the Germans do. “Berlin, in particular, groans with” reminders of the Holocaust, he writes. Quite simply, he concludes, “Germany understands the sacred need to remember.”
From the million Tibetans killed after the 1950 invasion to the destruction of monasteries and the “massive flood of ethnic Chinese migrants, who’ve made the Tibetans a minority population within their own territories,” the National Post‘s Jonathan Kay suggests “the Tibetans have a far better claim to the world’s sympathy than the Palestinians.” As such, he sarcastically assumes CUPE will any moment now be unveiling their anti-China boycott, the UN will condemn China as loudly as it can, and the Beijing Olympics will be cancelled. “Anything else amounts to a ‘double-standard,’ ” Kay sneers. “And that’s simply unthinkable.”
The Star‘s James Travers expresses his disappointment, which we share, that the pricklier elements of John Manley’s Afghanistan report—dealing with “porous borders” and “the Karzai administration’s own endemic corruption,” for example—were ignored by Conservatives “determined to neutralize Afghanistan as an election issue” and Liberals desperate to create an illusion of party unity. Given that we’ve “punched above [our] weight”—Travers should talk to Scott Taylor about that—”stood shoulder-to-shoulder with allies and repeatedly paid the ultimate price,” Travers argues we should be demanding coherence from our allies, not just troops and equipment.
The Edmonton Journal‘s Graham Thomson has a message for all those “academics and pundits and experts gnashing their teeth over the anemic turnout rate” in the provincial election: the turnout was in fact lower than 41.3 per cent, because nobody knows how many eligible voters weren’t on the list. Given massive recent immigration to the province, Thomson thinks it’s safe to say there were a lot.

Uh, why do the fingers holding the boards have female nails?
@Dan: Could have been the guy taking the photos and a female friend holding the pictures, or it could be that this happens to be a man who takes care of his nails to a point that I have never seen in another male.
How is “Nobody makes me happy like she does” related to philoso-raptor’s usual dilemmas? I’m getting more and more tired of excessive memes usage and is really annoying to see them used incorrectly. They get diluted.
no i am pretty sure he says “fly you fools.”
mazan, i wondered that too. but still, i thought this was sweet… it took time and thought and effort, and is certainly a memorable way to propose to someone. i dunno, i still thought it was funny and creative, maybe i’m being too charitable or something, cause the guy misused a meme *eyerolls*.
I gotta say…….cute, sounds like me but then again………….
This is so sweet.
I did this for my prom date last year! Not exactly the same, but it was a custom meme comic. I definitely had the no response prepared as well, but she said yes!
Why don’t the words on the paper curve like the paper? Look at the picture that starts “But nobody…” All this looks photoshopped. Boring fake crap and some of you think people actually do this. Ha. -big john

Children sometimes complain about aches in their joints. These aches could result from a variety of causes. But, if a child’s joints are swollen for six weeks in a row or longer, he or she may have juvenile arthritis (JA).
Juvenile arthritis is a long−lasting (chronic) disease. It is the most common form of arthritis in children. In the United States, it affects nearly 250,000 people under the age of 16 years.
There are several types of juvenile arthritis. Nearly all of them are different from rheumatoid arthritis in adults. This is why the term “juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)” is no longer widely used.
Types of Juvenile Arthritis
There are three types of juvenile arthritis. The classification is based on symptoms, the number of joints involved, and the presence of certain antibodies in the blood. Doctors classify juvenile arthritis in order to help predict how the disease will progress.
The three types of juvenile arthritis are pauciarticular, polyarticular, and systemic.
Pauciarticular (paw−see−are−tick−you−lar): Pauciarticular means “few joints.” This means that the pauciarticular type of juvenile arthritis involves only a few joints. About half of children with juvenile arthritis have the pauciarticular type. Girls younger than 8 years of age are more likely to develop it.
For half of the children with pauciarticular juvenile arthritis, only one joint will be involved, usually a knee or ankle. This is called monoarticular juvenile arthritis. These patients usually have a very mild arthritis and the symptoms may go away or become less noticeable (remit).
For some children, this arthritis affects four or fewer larger joints. Joints affected include the knee, ankle, or wrist. Involvement of fingers or toes is unusual.
Pauciarticular juvenile arthritis may also cause eye inflammation. To prevent blindness, your child may need regular eye examinations from a doctor who specializes in eye diseases (ophthalmologist). Eye problems may continue into adulthood.
Polyarticular: In juvenile arthritis, swelling of some of the fingers and toes may be significant. About 30 percent of children with juvenile arthritis have the polyarticular type. This type of arthritis is more common in girls than in boys.
Polyarticular juvenile arthritis affects five or more smaller joints (such as the hands and feet). Usually, the joints are all on the same side of the body. This type of juvenile arthritis can also affect large joints.
Children with a certain antibody in their blood, called IgM rheumatoid factor (RF), often have a more−severe form of the disease. Antibodies are proteins in the blood usually used by the body to fight off infection through an immune response. Doctors believe that this is the same type as adult rheumatoid arthritis.
Systemic: About 20 percent of children with juvenile arthritis have the systemic type.
This type of juvenile arthritis causes swelling, pain, and limited motion in at least one joint, rash, and inflammation of internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. A fever of at least 102 degrees each day for a minimum of two weeks suggests this diagnosis.
A small percentage of children with systemic juvenile arthritis develop arthritis in many joints and have severe arthritis that continues into adulthood.
Juvenile arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. Arthritis results from ongoing joint inflammation in four steps:
• The joint becomes inflamed
• The joint stiffens (contracture)
• The joint suffers damage
• The joint’s growth is changed
No one knows exactly what causes juvenile arthritis. Researchers believe some children have genes that make them more likely to get the disease. Exposure to something in the environment (for example, a virus) triggers juvenile arthritis in these children. Juvenile arthritis is not hereditary, so it is very rare for more than one child in a family to get it.
In some cases, symptoms of juvenile arthritis are mild and do not progress to more severe joint disease and deformities. For many years it was believed that most children eventually outgrow juvenile arthritis. Now, it is known that half of the children diagnosed with juvenile arthritis will continue to have active arthritis 10 years after diagnosis unless they receive aggressive treatment.
In severe cases, JA can produce serious joint and tissue damage. It can also cause problems with bone development and growth.
Juvenile arthritis affects each child differently and can last for indefinite periods of time. There may be times when symptoms improve or disappear (remissions). There are other times when symptoms worsen (flare−ups). Sometimes, a child may have one or two flare−ups and never have symptoms again. Other children may have frequent flare−ups and symptoms that never go away.
One sign of juvenile arthritis is the presence of painful joints in the morning that improve by afternoon. Sometimes, the first sign of the disease is a morning limp, caused by an affected knee. Hands and feet may also be affected.
Swelling and pain may also be noted. Although young children may not complain of pain, a child may feel irritable or tired and not want to play. Sometimes juvenile arthritis may cause lymph node swelling in the neck and other parts of the body.
Joints may become inflamed and warm to the touch. In fewer than half of cases of juvenile arthritis, internal organs may become inflamed.
Muscles and other soft tissues around the joint may weaken.
In certain cases, children with juvenile arthritis show signs of a high fever and light pink rash, which may disappear very quickly .
Some children develop growth problems caused by juvenile arthritis. Joints may grow too fast or too slow, unevenly, or to one side. This can make one leg or arm longer than the other. Overall growth also may slow.
Some children with juvenile arthritis have eye involvement, called iridocyclitis. This is treatable by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor). The presence of eye problems helps to confirm the diagnosis. Without treatment, iridocyclitis can result in eye damage that cannot be cured. The only symptom of iridocyclitis is pain during exposure to bright light. The absence of this symptom, however, does not guarantee that eye problems are not present.
Early diagnosis and treatment can control inflammation, relieve pain, prevent joint damage, and maintain a child’s ability to function.
The doctor will review the child’s complete medical history. A physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies will also be done. A wide range of tests is needed because juvenile arthritis is diagnosed based as much on what is present as what is not present. A complete medical history and physical examination, blood tests, and X−rays will help to exclude other conditions that cause arthritis.
The doctor will want to learn the child’s medical history. He or she will want to know how long the child has had problems with joint pain and swelling and whether the symptoms have gotten better or worse. The doctor will want to know whether the child feels stiff when getting up after rest and whether the joints are swollen. He or she will look for other causes of the symptoms, such as whether there was any injury, another illness, such as Lyme disease, or a family history of autoimmune diseases.
The physical examination will examine the child’s joints for signs of swelling and warmth. The joints will be checked for signs of decreased range of motion. Muscles near the affected joints will be checked for signs of shrinkage (atrophy).
Tests on blood, joints, and tissue fluids can help to rule out other conditions that might cause similar symptoms. These tests may also be used to classify the type of juvenile arthritis.
X−rays would are used to look for injuries to bone or for any unusual development of bone.
A child with juvenile arthritis may need treatment from pediatric rheumatologist. This doctor specializes in helping children with arthritis and related conditions.
Treatment of juvenile arthritis is designed to reduce swelling, maintain full movement of affected joints, and relieve pain. Because juvenile arthritis may have complications, any treatment program will also identify, treat, and prevent complications.
The focus of treatment is to preserve a good quality of life for the child through high levels of physical activity and social functioning. Most children with juvenile arthritis will need medication and physical therapy to reach these goals. Surgical treatment may be performed in some cases to treat the complications of juvenile arthritis, such as joint contracture, soft-tissue damage (such as tendons), or joint problems.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often the first type of medication used. These are usually ibuprofen or naproxen. They are used primarily to lessen the inflammation and relieve pain. This will help calm down the disease.
Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are the next step if nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do not relieve symptoms. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs slow or stop progression of juvenile arthritis, but may take weeks or months to relieve symptoms. The most commonly used drug is Methotrexate. Azulfidine and plaquenil are occasionally prescribed. The doctor may want your child to take disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs along with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Biologic agents are a new class of drugs that also slow or stop the progression of the disease. These are usually only used if the disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs do not seem to work or if the patient has arthritis of the sacroiliac joint.
Corticosteroids are stronger medications that may be used in treating severe juvenile arthritis. Given by mouth (orally) or injected into a vein (intravenously), corticosteroids can reduce serious symptoms, such as inflammation of the sac around the heart. Corticosteroids, however, can cause unwanted side effects, such as interfering with a child’s growth, weight gain, weakened bones, and increased susceptibility to infections. It is important to follow the doctor’s instructions exactly when taking corticosteroids.
Medications may be needed for several years until juvenile arthritis is no longer active. A doctor will determine when it is time to discontinue the medications after joint pain, swelling, and warmth disappear.
Exercise helps maintain muscle tone. It also helps preserve and recover joint range of motion and function. The doctor may recommend a physical therapist to design an appropriate exercise program. It is important to balance activity with rest.
Although pain sometimes limits sports and physical activity, children with juvenile arthritis can often fully participate when symptoms are under control. Swimming is a particularly good exercise, because it uses many joints and muscles, without putting weight on the joints. In some cases, splints and other devices can help maintain joint alignment.
Splinting is useful in children with juvenile arthritis, either at night or during the day, to decrease inflammation and to prevent contractures. Splints (braces made of plastic or other materials) are often used in the upper extremities to prevent contractures of the fingers and wrists.
A child’s school and teachers can be an important resource. They may be able to develop suitable lesson plans that teach classmates about juvenile arthritis. With proper attention, most children with juvenile arthritis should progress normally through school.
In addition to medications, warm baths or an electric blanket may help soothe sore joints.
The most important treatment is medical (with medications). Surgery is not often needed in treating juvenile arthritis. In very severe forms of juvenile arthritis or with very severe complications it may be necessary to do surgery to improve the position of the joint. An example of this might be when a joint has become deformed. Joint replacement, frequently used to treat adults with arthritis, has almost no place in treating children.

As I covered on Monday (most of you didn’t care), Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino were in Cannes to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pulp Fiction winning the Palme d’Or. John Travolta was there too, but it’s best we don’t speak of him or his gross facial hair. Anyway, the last days of Cannes were all about Uma and QT. They posed together on two red carpets, they presented awards at the final ceremony and they just looked adorable together. QT has always been very open about his adoration of Uma – I believe he’s been in love with her since Pulp Fiction. Uma treats him like a friend and colleague and collaborator, but she’s always made sure to reiterate that their relationship isn’t about sex. But maybe that’s changed?
His muse is his at last! Twenty years after Quentin Tarantino directed Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, Us Weekly can confirm that the two have taken their relationship to the next level. Sources tell Us that the pair recently spent time together at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in the South of France, where they even shared a villa.
“They had a thing and got together again recently,” one insider tells Us. “He’s loved her for years.” Both Thurman and Tarantino were presenters at the closing ceremony of the star-studded film fest on Saturday, May 24. The willowy blonde star, 44, wearing a floor-length canary custom Atelier Versace couture gown, walked arm-in-arm on the red carpet with the Oscar-winning director, 51.
“There has always been an attraction,” another source explains. “She has indulged from time to time, and that’s how their relationship has always worked.”
Over the years, the two appeared to share a strong bond of friendship offscreen: Thurman, after all, famously let Tarantino sip from her Louboutin heel in 2010, while poking fun at his rumored foot fetish! So why now?
Timing has largely been an issue. Thurman was married to Ethan Hawke for six years before divorcing in 2004. Together, the stars share daughter Maya, 16, and son Levon, 12. In 2007, Thurman got engaged to hedge-fund magnate Arpad “Arki” Busson, with whom she shares 22-month-old daughter Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson. As reported by Us last month, Thurman and Busson ended their tumultuous on-and-off again relationship.
Finding solace in Tarantino after her split, Thurman appeared happier than ever as she cozied up beside him at Cannes. “They talk often,” the second source says. “They go out to lunch in NYC when he’s around. He always tries to find a role for her, or have her involved somehow.”
Tarantino, for his part, has previously been linked to stars like Kathy Griffin, Mira Sorvino, and even fellow director Sofia Coppola. He was most recently linked to costume designer Courtney Hoffman, though that relationship recently ended as well.
A commenter pointed this out in the other thread: Uma was wearing very toe-cleavage-y shoes for her Cannes appearances too. Probably for QT. The man does love feet. Anyway, do you think Uma and QT are hitting it at long last? Perhaps. I think it’s probably the kind of affair that will either last a month or ten years, nothing in between. I also think that QT loves her and has for decades, and that for Uma, this is just an ego boost. Oh well. I hope they have fun.

Four founders of the Pirate Bay face up to a year in prison for breaching copyright, and that's just fine with Paul McCartney, who called the verdict "fair."
Paul, who put on a California concert last weekend where he debuted footage from the upcoming Beatles-themed Rock Band videogame (VIA), told reporters that artists deserved to get paid, and he felt fortunate the Beatles made it big before the popularity of file-sharing networks.
Sir Paul's remarks in full, via the BBC:
"Anyone who does something good, particularly if you get really lucky and do a great artistic thing and have a mega hit, I think you should get rewarded for that.
"I'm in favour of that sort of thing."
He added: "The problem is you get a lot of young bands coming up and some of them aren't going to last forever so if they have a massive hit that's going to pay their mortgage forever.
"They're going to feed the children on that and if they don't get that money, if they don't see that money, I think it's a bit of a pity.
"I've been very lucky because my main era with the Beatles was at a time when everyone did get paid.
"Particularly for young bands and they've got a young family, I don't want to see them destitute after a couple of years when they were mega. So I think it's fair."

VERSION 1.3 NOW AVAILABLE! DOWNLOAD LINK MIRROR Introduction Welcome to Pokémon: Legends of the Arena! This is a fan game that I started many, many years ago - one that takes the format of eight gyms, an evil team, and the Elite Four, and spins it in a few new directions. A new update has just been released, which contains eight of nine planned chapters, and will be the last demo before the release of the full game. Plot Five years ago the land of Aria was on the brink of a Civil War. A man fighting for a supposedly just cause had divided the population, with some prepared to risk their lives for a greater cause, while others were determined to maintain peace. The cause of this conflict? The International Pokémon Championships. A tradition for almost thirty years, the IPCs are the most prestigious and widely-known competition for a trainer to prove his worth. Their purpose is to allow anyone the chance for success, for fame, fortune, and honour. Trainers from across the globe come to participate in the annual tradition. Stars have risen and fallen solely on their reputation as a competitive trainer. Yet the IPC's tolerant attitude to its participants was a double-edged sword, as they learnt with the troublesome Bryce, and only through luck did the country avoid societal collapse. Flash forward five years, and an ambitious young man is applying for the championships with his brother. The Plazadown Qualifiers are imminent, and he's decided to try his luck. He knows it'll be challenging, but it's a challenge he's willing to take - and. along with the support of his brother, nothing can stop them. Although it should be said that neither of these young heroes have quite grasped the concept that there can only be one winner... Features Travel around a vast & diverse region, competing in eight different rounds of the tournament before reaching the final. Engage in a rich RPG storyline, involving cults, celebrities, and plenty of Pokémon battles - all seen through the eyes of a main character who talks back. Choose from seven Eevee-based starters, determined by a personality quiz at the start of the game. Engage in plenty of side quests, including treasure hunting, plant smoking, and a trip through time itself. All 493 Pokémon (pre-Black/White) are available, including eight legendaries. Can you find them all?
