Those who know me best know I'm not always quiet. But I often am. Especially in a crowd.
And even more especially with a group of strangers I'm supposed to suddenly connect with on some deep level.
Then I'm definitely the quiet one.
There are a lot of reasons why---some I'm aware of and some I'm not able to see clearly just yet. I know underlying most of them is the trust factor.
I strongly value trust and trustworthiness. So situations where I'm supposed to open up to people I don't yet trust---forced sharing, if you will---make me largely uncomfortable.
I was in a situation like that a few days ago. People all around me were sharing freely, and I just kept thinking, "I'm not built that way." I didn't say very much, and while I was okay with my reservedness, I found myself wondering what it made the others think.
I fear that my quietness makes people assume things about me which are not only unintended but also inaccurate. I'm afraid I might come across as arrogant, stuffy, or annoyed.
(Feeling misunderstood is one of the worst things for me.)
So I'd love your honest input:
What assumptions do you make about the quiet person in a group?
[Feel free to comment anonymously if you can be more honest that way.]

Here's a quick project I worked on last week for my sister-in-law. She wanted to make a video for her boyfriend for Valentine's day, so we set up in our dining room, put up the green-screen and lights, and did a few takes. It only took Meg about 3 runs through to get the lyrics and performance we were looking for, and then a few hours of online searching for some fun video assets to bring it together.
Meg and I only had a few hours the night before Valentine's Day to put everything together, but it turned out pretty well, and Meg and Donny both loved it, which was the goal. Check the video out below.

If you think parents aren't funny and can only tell old dad jokes, we are about to make you completely change your mind.
Here are 33 examples of parents who have the best sense of humor, and often use it to troll their kids.
The best ones are without any doubt the granddad having his revenge after being caught sleeping, and the parents who pranked their son by painting their house while he was away, leaving a very particular message.
Growing up would be incredibly funnier if all parents had this fantastic sense of humor.

Uta's art is very focused, very skilled and very human. As we discuss how her art speaks of order and chaos, how good and bad bleed into one, I find myself at home in her work, as I think many will. Uta herself seems born to paint, her love for the craft shines through and her knowledge is extensive.
Have you felt much of a difference creating for a 'graduate show' as opposed to creating as a student?
Working independently on my own project feels similar to the student experience at the University of Nottingham, but a bit less directed and without assessment pressure. The time frame seems much tighter and challenging as I use the medium of paint which is a fairly slow process. This allows less time for experimentation or creating a final piece and can be a problem if things go wrong and paint has to dry before you can continue. We got an insight into a different studio environment and gallery situation. It helps confidence and that there are people out there interested in your work after graduation.
With the group name Pulse, how do you relate it to your work?
In my current project work the regular pulse and rhythm of the grid merges with the irregular flow of the net, they become intertwined - the regular and irregular aspects, in various states of tension. Or sudden external pulse disrupts the predictable, flowing rhythm. The grid's geometric structure and the less predictable line or melody-like flow of the net. I am interested in the building up of suspense between random, free flow, the net, and structure, predictability, the grid. Creating this rhythmic exchange between opposing elements and their suspension in a temporary, precarious balance. There is a joint rhythm, underlying structure, but simultaneously it becomes disrupted by free flow and fragmentation and elements of mutual exchange or even inversion. This also questions simple dualistic juxtaposition, as the net is just a distorted grid. But in their elementary states, they have different physical and metaphorical qualities, they become opposites in many respects. However, they can transform into each other - their ambiguity is intriguing.
Tell us about your primary medium of painting and what got you into it?
I always enjoyed painting from childhood, we did a lot of pavement drawing with stones, clay. In the 70's, finger paint was something new and in Germany lots of people have cellars so we had this window and we were allowed to finger paint against it and I always loved that. It was there for years. Painting has been always natural to me, I explored different mediums but I came back to painting. I love the whole history of it, the naturality of paint, just this pigment and you create something out of it.
And how did you get into using things like nets and grids in painting?
We all know practical uses of nets or grids and their metaphorical potential like interconnectedness, social nets… I confronted the geometric grid with the reality of its imperfect, distorted, organic 'derivative', the net, that diverges from the grid's angular logic. I question ideals confronted with reality and its imperfections. I try to get people to question perception, ideals, illusion against reality. I explore forces pulling in different directions with tension and release reflecting various states of being. The scientifically–minded viewer may think of space distortion, dimensions, gravity, communication between distant particles, their effect on each other. Others will relate it to their own life experience, to inner /outer conflicts, dualities, emotive tensions and struggles.
Tell us a little about your project, what we're going to see on Opening Night
I will show a couple of paintings, with some elements stepping outside the traditional canvas frame format. The inclusion of more tangible elements in surrounding space makes the works more physical. The images of flat squares suddenly becoming real, tangible 3D objects. I try to engage the viewer through a sense of tension between image and actual object. Wandering/floating squares move in indistinct space, but in an irregular, unpredictable way. I want to trigger an emotive, intellectual, physical response in the viewer; to relate the image to their own experience – what is out-of-rhythm here? What could it mean? Challenge expectation, perception – something unexpected happens; about uncertainties, tensions between antagonistic forces, physical and metaphorical – life events - conflicting emotions or desires.
I hope that my work can convey the sense of tension and uncertainty, of being out-of-rhythm and viewers bringing their their own experiences. Personal tension, interrupted rhythm of life. My grid lines may look straight from far but show imperfections/inconsistencies from up close. This reveals actual physical tension - small interruptions to seemingly smooth lines, it is more about the concept of a grid than a literal, perfect version of it. Relating to the pulse of life, most situations are not ideal, we are not always in control of our situation, things happen.
What do you want to get out of the residency?
The residential offered me a chance to bridge the gap between graduation and professional practice, to meet other graduates and gain an insight into a local gallery and the supportive network there. What I also found appealing was the chance of having group crits and a ono-to-one session with a local artist and have access to the gallery's light-flooded, spacious project space. It enabled me to discuss my work, ideas and incorporate issues arising from critical feedback and discussions into my paintings. The chance for a final show, to share the residency work with the public and interaction with the community in a workshop is exciting – to get feedback or have discussions, get to know new people interested in art.
How are you finding sharing a space?
We had to share limited space as students, so I am used to sharing space and not expanding too much. It's a large, well-lit space and everyone arranged themselves with fellow graduates to share the space for larger displays. It was unproblematic and [we] enjoyed each other's company and exchange of ideas or feedback. Having regularly shared space and worked alongside other students over the last years, it can help to make you feel less isolated than working at home on your own all the time. The practice after graduation can feel quite isolating - unless you can afford a studio space or your work gets accepted for lots of open exhibition etc.

Top: Daisy Off-the-shoulder top {similar floral crop top from Forever 21, $6 + love this ASOS cami crop top on sale for $8} // Jeans: Indigo Rein Light Wash Skinny Jeans {at Macys for $25!} //
Belt: Double Buckle Belt from a local boutique {but this one from Nordstrom is only $12}
I remember seeing double buckle belts popping up all over my Instagram feed. I told myself I wouldn't purchase one unless I found a great bargain--and I finally did! I went to a favorite boutique of mine, The Shop, and found the one I am wearing for $16. It's the perfect accessory for 70s vibes. My ripped jeans are a steal at $25, too! The material is wonderfully stretchy and they fit really well. I hate shopping for jeans so when I find a pair that fit, I tend to invest if I can afford to! Also, I am tapping into the latest trend with my black choker. I think if I wear them with the right outfit they can work and I can achieve the 'edgy' look I want. These are a few favorites I want to buy: A simple choker with a rhinestone pendant, $3.90; a shiny gold medallion one for $4.90; and a faux suede double stranded one for $5.90.

At the beginning of June, Facebook announced that its messaging app, Messenger, had crossed the one billion downloads milestone in the Play Store.
Obviously, Messenger is at least a little bit popular, and now a new sign-up initiative from the social networking giant might do even more to increase its popularity and user base. On Wednesday, June 24, the company announced via its Newsroom that signing up for Messenger no longer requires a Facebook account, as long as you live within the United States, Canada, Venezuela, or Peru.
Even without the Facebook account, those who sign up for Messenger can still send photos, messages, group chats, and have access to voice and video calling as well. A phone number, photo and a name is all that's required to make it work, and for those that sign up for the first time through the app will see a new "Not On Facebook" prompt on the sign-up page.
What do you think of the change?

text: A first-person account of how a nuclear-powered principal saved a Philadelphia school in a collapsing inner-city neighborhood. Cartwright--the youngest of 13 children who were so poor that they often went without shoes--worked her way through college as a maid, began to teach, and then moved up through the Philadelphia school system, eventually becoming principal of the James G. Blaine Elementary School in Strawberry Mansion (whose pretty name belied its desolate neighborhood: its students saw death and violence, and knew hunger, cold, and desperation). Cartwright set out to make the school a safe and joyous refuge for learning; one of her first acts was to take off her shoes and stockings, drop to her knees, and scrub the foul-smelling floor of the children's bathroom (many similiarly dramatic incidents dot the text, coauthored with Norfolk Virginian-Pilot reporter d'Orso). Cartwright defied or circumvented the school establishment regularly--for example, by insisting that the administering of achievement tests be as clean as the bathroom floor. As a result, the school's achievement scores dropped at first, but then began to climb as the children mastered the concepts and not simply the answers, which had been readily available during the previous school regime. Cartwright was able to turn the school around because, above all, she insisted that teachers respect each child's potential; that children respect their teachers and parents; and that parents be involved in their children's education. As gripping as her school tales are those of the neighborhood's deterioration, of the start of the crack epidemic, and of the benighted efforts of reformers who annually touted new programs to revive the schools. Cartwright rejected most of these efforts and continued on her own way. Few share Cartwright's drive and courage, but her advice to make schools a better place just one step, one room, at a time may hearten all those overwhelmed by grandiose proposals for ``educational reform.''

Jones Lang Lasalle Brochures by River Design
A traditional French-made artist's paper was used, appropriately enough, for brochures promoting the sale of a French chateau estate and hotel. 'We chose the Arjo Wiggins Arches paper because of its heritage, traditional feel and to add a sense of luxury,' explains Colin Smith of River Design.
The brochures are designed for Jones Lang LaSalle. 'We considered using a standard cartridge paper, but didn't want any surface shine,' says Smith. 'We also felt that texture would add interest, so opted for the matt Arches, which has a felt mark texture, giving a subtle, stippled surface.' Printing turned out to be fairly straightforward. The Arches stock has been put through its paces plenty of times and sample books come with a helpful panel of advice on handling. 'The base paper colour is cream,' Smith adds. 'On one brochure we added just one colour, but on the second brochure had two colours. In the early runs the ink appeared too solid and dark, so pressure was released on the press and the effect was softened immediately. It now has an almost hand-printed quality.' The diamond pattern design alludes to a luxury handmade French wallpaper which appears in one of the featured properties. The inside cover was printed a rich Pantone brown black. In addition to the printing, each cover has a debossed panel and foil-block details. 'The debossing has produced good crisp edges and the foil was a Pantone metallic which has produced a warm old gold gleam.' Interior pages are printed on a matt coated stock and the finishing touch is cotton stitching down the spine.

BarCamp Penang- Malaysia's best known Unconference.
As a follow up to last years successful Barcamp, BarCamp Penang organisers and its myriad of community volunteers has announced the much anticipated Unconference of the year — Barcamp Penang 2014. This year's official theme is Entrepreneurship and will be held at INTI International College, on Saturday, 17th of May 2014.
An unconference, Barcamps are an international network of ad-hoc, user generated conference meetings where attendees determine what will be presented. Breaking free from the traditional conference mold, it is always an interesting and unique learning experience for all who attend.
While the desire to keep learning keeps heart of Barcamps around the world going – participation, community voting keeps blood pumping through its veins. The message wall with Post It Notes in which all participant-speakers put up their names and topics, allows anyone to speak.
Sharings becomes alive via voting on topics which may cover interesting experiences, discussions about new novel ways of doing things, localised ideas that people find relevant. The fun comes from the interactions that occurs from participants coming from different backgrounds and levels on an open platform – an aspect less underscored by traditional conferences.
"We are glad to be able to organise the casino 5th Barcamp here in my beloved hometown Penang. It is my hope that Barcamp will be able to bring startups together with traditional and new entrepreneurs and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs – one that is true to ourselves as Malaysians." – Vivien Ooi, BarCamp Penang 2014 Chairperson.
This year, the iOS & Android apps are back to further act as social catalysts for participation and networking especially for those who are new and unfamiliar. A new addition to the app family this year is the Windows phone app. In the spirit of openness, the source codes are also open sourced and shared back to the community.
Barcamp participation is open to students, software developers, social media practitioners, small business owners, entrepreneurs, tech startups, journalists, hobbyists or anyone who is interested to share – all adhering to the Barcamp rules listed on the website. Realising some of the most well known Internet startups or it founders has its roots in Penang, the organisers have also invited several well known local & international entrepreneurs to participate to further catalyse sharing and discussions.
For more information about BARCAMP PENANG 2014, getting there, updates and rules, please visit www.barcamppenang.org . Registration is officially open.

Educational Theater Company Launches Play about Relationship Violence in College
Summary: Deana's Educational Theater Company receives generous grant from The Honey Dew Family Foundation to create a new play that addresses "hooking up & Relationship Violence" on college campuses. DET focuses on empowering students to take a stand against all types of violence on campus.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wakefield, MA, February 28th 2017
Deana's Educational Theater Company is a nonprofit organization located in Wakefield, MA that offers interactive, performance-based presentations that cover important social issues. The aim of each production is to educate the audience about dating violence, bullying, cyber bullying, sexual coercion, harassment and respect.
For the past 22 years, this progressive educational theater company has been at the forefront of broaching difficult social subjects with people of all ages in all types of venues. Their educational programs consist of an interactive performance followed by a question and answer period, each lasting approximately 30-minutes in duration.
Deana's Educational Theater is thrilled to have received a generous grant from The Honey Dew Family Foundation which has allowed them to create the play Remote Control to address the growing concern of "Hooking Up and Relationship Violence" on college campuses.
Executive Director Christine Shaw explains how Remote Control and all of their other programs are created:
The issues, attitudes, and language used in all of our plays have been carefully researched and all of our programs are created with the assistance of young people, artists, and experts in the fields of violence prevention and education. This allows us to gauge whether students can relate easily to the characters and stories depicted.
Our programs also educate audiences about the reality of violence and they invoke the very powerful emotions that arise in these types of situation. Students are empowered to take a stand, make a change in their school and community. Based on the feedback received, DET knows that their programs have both an immediate and long term impact on audiences, no matter what their age."

YMCA Camp MacLean
Oct. 4, 2013
Burlington, WI
While driving through Wisconsin we were lucky enough to be contacted by Andrew from Camp MacLean. Andrew is a year round program director who helps with the fall, winter, spring groups that come through camp. Camp is beautiful and it is clear as soon as you walk onsite that they have a lot of pride for the place. One of the main attractions is the Mount MacLean Skyway, a huge ropes course that has some very unique elements to it. The Skyway was built by some car manufacturers and resembles the way that a car would glide along a factory line. The efficiency along with all of the cool elements is what makes it unique. There is no wait time because once you are up in the skyway you are free to move around and no one on the ground is responsible for your belay line. This frees up counselors to actually go climbing and playing with their campers, forming those personal bonds and connections that camp is all about. MacLean also has a great looking waterfront. Their lake is small enough so that it is not trafficked by big boats and big enough that they can host lots of water sports and an iconic blue jump tower. Andrew told us an interesting piece of history. Camp used to be a place where they harvested ice from the lake and transported it in box cars to the city of Chicago. One of these box cars has sunken to the bottom of the lake and they have a camp where kids can put some gear on and go diving down to see it!! In the winter months they use the pond to skate on but the also have the largest wooden toboggan run in the state of Wisconsin. The slide itself is incredible but so is the massive field that you land in. Check out the pictures!

For Future Students
Any NEW International students who are planning on doing a Co-op or Internship during Summer 2020 MUST apply for their Co-op Work Permit in October 2019! Please see Career Centre or Co-op Work Permits for more information
New Co-op Application Deadlines announced! New Co-op application deadlines - see Student Calendar for more details
Did you miss one of the Co-op workshops? Maybe you want to review to answer a question? Access work shops here!
Co-operative Education (Co-op) alternates practical, career-related, paid work terms with semesters in class, giving you 12-16 months of supervised work experience by the time you graduate.
We are accredited by Co-operative Educationa and Work-integrated Learning (CEWIL) Canada, so we meet the standards for commitment and quality set by our national governing body.
Why should I get involved in the Co-op/Internship program?
In a word: experience. You will kick-start your career. Earn while you learn-typical salaries range from $8,000-$13,000 per semester - as you sample different career choices, work environments, and locations. You will notice that your grades will go up too, because you are integrating classroom theory with practical experience on the job.
Are you thinking that working during summer is the same as working as a Co-op student? Wrong! Co-op students receive better pay and get jobs that require more responsibility. If you want to get the best work experience possible while in undergraduate study, you need to be a part of Co-op education!
What is the "Co-op" designation?
If you successfully complete the required number of work terms, you will receive Co-op Designation on your degree. You will have attained the kind of valuable experience that will get you hired.
How do I know what I have to do?
When you apply for Co-op or Internship, you have to complete an "Entrance Meeting" with a coordinator to discuss the program, go over expectations, and how the program works. It is also a good idea to read or download a copy of the Student Handbook for reference.

With the presentation of its new Cyclone Tourbillon watch, the house of Jacob & Co has definitely pushed back the boundaries of technology. The model incorporates a tourbillon - the first mechanism of the kind, with the tourbillon and the automatic bidirectional winding systems completely integrated within each other.
Created for the brand by the Swiss complications specialist La Fabrique du Temps, under the guidance of Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, the new Jacob & Co watch demonstrates audacious design and incredible mechanical complexity.
The tourbillon carriage is mounted on the oscillating mass of the automatic winding system. To be seen in full glory, it has been moved to the dial side of the Caliber LFT 108 movement.
The latter reveals a decorative motif with brushed rhodium and black finish. Adorned with 48 rubies, it beats to the rhythm of 28,800 vibrations per hour and supplies a 45-hour power reserve.
The upper plate of the movement serves as a dial. It incorporates an hour and minute display, a small seconds counter and a power reserve indicator. The unconventional display also offers a great view of the tourbillon and automatic winding assemblies.
The dial of the new Jacob & Co Cyclone Tourbillon watch is housed in a 48 mm x 67mm case. It is crafted from a combination of white and rose gold. The bezel is produced from the same materials.
A black calfskin leather strap with an ardillon buckle sets the final touch to the unusual exterior of the new Jacob & Co watch.

(HALIFAX, N.S.) - Last week, the Saint Mary's University varsity athletics council presented the IWK Health Centre Foundation with a cheque for $945.00. The funds were raised at the annual varsity Christmas party.
Charging $5 admission and accepting donations at the door, the Huskies varsity council found a way to celebrate their athletic accomplishments while at the same time, doing something positive for their community.
"As student-athletes, we recognize the importance of good health," said varsity council women's rugby rep Kaitlyn Sobey. "By giving to the IWK Foundation, we recognize our fundraising work will contribute to a centre that changes and saves lives. We hope our efforts can have a positive impact on the health of others."
Varsity student-athletes and their guests attended the Christmas party where canned goods were also collected at the door for the CBC food drive which was held in December.
The Argyle Grill & Bar offered up their venue free of charge to the Saint Mary's student-athletes to host their Christmas party and fundraiser. "We had the main floor, a DJ and coat check set up and we were charged nothing," said Sobey. "The owner of The Argyle is also a SMU football alumni. He went out of his way to allow us to donate all the money we raised to the IWK."
Sobey said herself and other event organizers were pleasantly surprised by the amount they were able to fundraise with their relatively small event. "It really proves that no matter the size of the fundraising attempt, it can have a large impact on the lives of others," she said.
Sobey and three other members of the varsity council presented
their donation in person at the IWK Health Centre. "We were
overwhelmed by the kindness of their office staff," said
"They all genuinely love the work they do and made us realize the true importance of donating."
The Saint Mary's varsity council is participating in several other upcoming fundraising initiatives, including tonight's 'TomStrong Night' at the men's hockey game being played at the Halifax Forum. The Huskies community will be raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Nova Scotia in honour of men's hockey assistant coach Tom Lee who is currently battling mantle cell lymphoma.
The Huskies varsity council will also be holding their annual date auction to raise money for cystic fibrosis, as well as participating in Relay for Life.

Be prepared to wait as strict times of opening and rampant bureaucracy of both sides of the border can frustrate even the most hardened and experienced travellers. When leaving India in 1981 the Indian customs officials spent their time humiliating poor Muslim travellers who crossing the border on foot and then after waiting hours for the paperwork and passports to be checked they waved us through with hardly a glance. However, worse was to come on the Pakistani side! We had followed the German tour company Rotel into the Pakistani customs area and were optimistic about getting away quickly when the Germans completed the customs checks within minutes of arriving.
The source of the Pakistani speed and efficiency seemed to evaporate as our two double-deckers hoved into the compound. We had adopted our normal protocol for border crossings - clean t-shirts and sandals to be worn, beds made, clothes neatly stowed and the kitchen area spotless but this did not appear to impress them. So we waited and waited.
After a considerable time the source of the delay became apparent. Rotel had paid $20 to be able to decamp promptly. I stressed the fact that we were only poor Australians not rich Germans and that such a sum was beyond us. We received no sympathy and we just wallowed longer on the concrete apron as the cool of the morning evaporated.
Initiative was what was required as in all truthfulness we were just poor Australians. In the second bus one of the punters had a Playboy magazine and I pressed it into service with the tantalising entreaty that "I had something better than money". It worked - I was quickly ushered into the office with the entire cohort of customs officials in tow. As the magazine was passed around the head of the customs sat down in his chair and asked if I wanted a 'smoke' and then began rolling a joint! I quickly refused and headed for the exit with passports in hand.
We reached the boom gates and my bus was allowed out but they stopped the other bus - they wanted another magazine. We drew the line at their rampant greed and after a standoff they too were allowed out.
India offers the overland traveller an almost endless array of unique itineraries, though most take the direct route to Nepal. The first stop in India is Amritsar, the centre of the Sikh religion. Even though his holy Sikh shrine suffered a deadly assault following the assassination of Indira Ghandi it's been repaired and is a must visit destination.
We stayed in the grounds of the Amritsar Youth Hostel and during one stay it was also the venue for the North India Dentists' Convention. I remember being quizzed by one of the delegates as to the age of bus and was blown away by his amazement that any vehicle 25 years old could still be running!
From here the adventurous can strike northwards to Jammu and then the twisting and climbing drive into Indian-controlled Kashmir. Our buses were too high for the tunnels and we risked everything by hiring a local bus for the journey. On my last trip we splurged and hired a series of taxis. One couldn't be sure what was the wisest choice as on each trip we encountered at least one bus, truck or car that had failed to take a corner with fatal consequences for the occupants. We felt quite bullet-proof and it's only with the passage of time that I realise that the element of risk was far too great.
Srinigar, the capital, sits in the vale of Kashmir and is one of the most scenic and unique destinations in India. Even in the 1980's the tensions between the Muslim majority and the Indian administration were evident but today they have all but killed tourism to the region.
We stayed on Habib's oddly named Houseboat Australia. Habib always made our stay a highlight of the overland experience. All the overland companies used his boats and he had a very easy manner. However, not all the residents of Srinigar shared our views. On one occasion I after riding his motorbike I was waiting outside the post office for him when a group of Muslim youths approached and warned me off associating with him. Perhaps an early warning of the problems that beset this community today?
The houseboats were unusual with intricate hand-carved Indian motifs on the outside and complemented on the inside by an amazing Victorian chintz-style of furniture. Each house boat had a bathroom, two bedrooms, and its own lounge room - very spacious and so indulgent by the standards we had come to accept as normal.
The ubiquitous shikaras plied the lake selling and transporting anything and everything. You could buy Limca (India's answer to Coco-cola), flowers, hashish and even chocolate biscuits! We would regularly hire a "party boat" which would slowly punt us around the lake by moonlight whilst we enjoyed a moghul feast, too much booze and hash.
On my second visit we journeyed to the Gulmarg, the Vale of Flowers, in winter. This winter playground boasted a single rope tow and access to the slopes was made by stout short-legged ponies who were buried up to their flanks in the snow. The skiing was was most unremarkable but like much of life the journey was spectacular and unforgettable.
No options but to retrace your steps to Jammu from where the route takes you on to Delhi, the capital city of India. The most important advice is to avoid the hot summer months when temperatures regularly hover in the 40's. The city itself is a rewarding destination in itself but it is also the staging post for travellers heading in all compass points.
Options include the desert state of Rajasthan, or travelling further south to Goa, or alternatively the hill stations of the Himalayas. Simla, the Kulu Valley and Manali are great spots in which to relax.
We stayed in a camp site in Asaf Ali Road a couple of kilometres from Cannaught Circus. The accommodation for those wanting to get off the bus were a round whitewashed huts with a thatched roof that would have looked more at home on a south seas setting that the hot and dusty plains of northern India.
Those following the main overland route to Kathmandu leave Delhi for Jaipur in Rajasthan. Here the attractions include the famous pink city itself. The intriguing Palace of the Winds from where the concubines of the Maharajah viewed the passing cavalcade of life continues to attract the attention of travellers.
From here the route takes you eastwards towards Agra and the Taj Mahal, the highlight of any journey to India. The Taj sometimes surprises visitors with its small physical imprint as its image is written so large in our minds. The story behind its construction and the fate of its creator However, take the time to stop short of the city and visit the abandoned remains of the city of Fatephur Sikri. Built by Akbar the Great, Fatephur Sikri, is one of history's great follies as it was abandoned only 18 years after being completed due to a lack of adequate drinking water. However, it provides does provide the visitor with a superb idea of the scope and scale of this wonderful Moghul city.
The overland route continues east towards Varanasi and the sacred Ganges River one of the holiest places for Hindus. Arrange an early morning visit to observe the cremations on the ancient stone ghats. The size and swiftness of the river and the poignant ceremonies being held along its banks can help but effect the traveller deeply.
Not far away is Sarnath another holy city but this city is sacred to Buddhists as it is the site of the Buddha's enlightenment. The stupa that makes the spot is very simple and unadorned in direct counterpoint to the predominant Hindu style. The park land in which it sits is an oasis of calm within the frenetic cauldron of Indian life – enjoy the serenity it offers!
Further along the road to the Nepalese border lies Khajuraho. The city is famous for its erotic temples whose explicit carvings and sculptures predate the Karma Sutra. In the 80's the state's ganga shops were also an added attraction.

Everybody's favorite boy band, One Direction, were just one of the acts who cleaned up at the 2014 BRIT Awards, taking place at London's O2 Arena on February 19th. The fivesome took home the Global Success Award, which honors their international takeover, as well as the prize for the fan-voted Best British Video for the hilariously adorable "Best Song Ever" clip.
Arctic Monkeys were another big winner at the BRITs, were named Best British Group and took home the coveted Best British Album title for their "R U Mine?"-spawning record AM, and prestigious performer David Bowie was too cool to show up at the BRITs and let Kate Moss accept his award for Best British Male Solo. Ellie Goulding took home Best British Female Solo, and then burned up the BRITs stage with an epic performance of "Burn".
Speaking of performers, Beyonce opened the show with a beautiful rendition of "XO", while Bruno Mars, Pharrell & Nile Rodgers, and Katy Perry also tore up the BRITs stage. It was definitely a night to remember in British TV history!

Anita Gopalan, a Bangalore-based translator, received the 2016 PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant for her translation of the Hindi novella Simsim by Geet Chaturvedi. Despite India producing a wealth of literature, Gopalan is only the second Indian to have received this grant. Over email, Poorna Swami asked Gopalan about Hindi literature and translating Chaturvedi.
Poorna Swami (PS): So you have a rather unconventional literary background, and even worked for many years in the banking sector. How did you find your way into translation? What do you enjoy most about it?
Anita Gopalan (AG): Although I don't have a conventional literary background, I am striking out on a new path that is only natural to me. You see, when I was young I wanted to become a writer. Our house in Pilani was filled with books and I had access to all kinds of texts. At age eleven, I started on unabridged Dickens, by thirteen, it was Bonjour Tristesse and Lady Chatterley's Lover, and I had already written a whole book of poems (in Hindi, English, and Marwari). I read my poetry out loud to all our house maids and they were the ones who lovingly listened to it. But something happened that even I can't fathom—my last poem was about suicide, and that was that. I did not become a writer. Rather, I thrived doing math—Hilbert spaces, isomorphisms—and moved on to banking technology and had a wonderful career in that field.
Years later, I had to cut down on my hectic work schedule due to a health condition and suddenly there was a vacuum. "To believe you are magnificent. And gradually to discover that you are not magnificent. Enough labor for one human life," Czesław Miłosz said, and that fit my condition perfectly. I again turned to writing, and Facebook became the medium for me to post my writings and music. Here, I became acquainted with the wonderful writer Geet Chaturvedi. Interestingly, his first work that I read was not poetry or fiction—the genres he is famous for—but a short essay on music. His splendid poetic prose and sharp insights were evident even in that post. I fell in love with his writings. It was his poems that enchanted me most. A couple of years ago, he suddenly asked me to translate them. I was taken aback. I hadn't translated anything before, but at the same time I was thrilled.

The proposal to add an alcohol fee in the City refuses to get corked.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsomvetoed a measure that would have charged booze wholesalers and distributors a new alcohol fee.
But Supervisor John Avalos vowed to take the fight to the voters, if necessary, to overturn the veto. But before a city known to sip its adult beverages was asked its opinion, Avalos had the opportunity to convince his fellow supervisors to override the veto.
Now the supervisor is asking for the vote to be delayed. He needs eight to erase signatures stamp of disapproval, right now he only has six.
Quite the politician, Avalos said at a meeting Tuesday that he wants the delay so the city attorney can explain why Newsom -- who has owned alcohol selling establishments and has even joked about becoming a wine store clerk when his political career ends -- didn't recuse himself from the decision.
Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pierdid remove herself from the conversation because she is the owner of an alcohol wholeseller's permit.

Chaka Khan might not use her fan just to keep cool under pressure.
The singer performed gospel classic "Goin' Up Yonder" at Aretha Franklin's funeral in Detroit on Friday, and she kept a big blue folding fan within sight the entire time. In fact, while she was singing, a few eagle-eyed viewers caught her looking at the back of her fan as if she were reading from it. Her frequent and obvious glances at the fan have led some to believe she had the lyrics to the song on the back of it.
People are speculating about the fan's purpose on social media.

Some don't understand how people are talking about anything but her performance.
When you gotta a voice like Chaka Khan, you ain't got to know the lyrics. #ArethaFrankinFuneral #ArethaHomegoing

Chaka Khan may have the song lyrics on her fan, though no one can deny that she is absolutely *belting* to the heavens on "Going Up Yonder."
WHEW. #ArethaHomegoing

Chaka Khan may be reading the lyrics off of the back of her fan but Lord knows she is SANGING! @ChakaKhan

Y'all forgot about them lyrics on that fan when Chaka Khan went up 1000 octaves! pic.twitter.com/4GJSJA6F5q
— Danielle Harr (@freespirit74) August 31, 2018
But many have pointed out that viewers should just appreciate that she's up there at all.
Listeeeennnnnn stop worrying about whether Chaka Khan has the lyrics taped to the fan (she does), be happy that she has been able to make up on that state and she belting out legendary vocals that will still put these contemporaries to shame. #ArethaHomegoing
— Ernest Owens (@MrErnestOwens) August 31, 2018
Sure, Chaka Khan had her lyric sheet taped to the back of her fan while she sang.
But that most likely means she's having memory problems, that she's aware of it, & that she still paid tribute anyway.
That has to be humbling. And it requires bravery.#ArethaFranklinHomegoing
— Litsa Dremousis (@LitsaDremousis) August 31, 2018
Mick Jagger is also known 2 forget lyrics & have cue sheets. Memory problems suck because one feels demeaned somehow, & humbled. But as a musician, I don't think bravery is so much the case here 4 Chaka Khan as was pride do be a part of the program! I'd do it too & so would you.

It appears likely to me that many women have taken this march as a uncommon alternative to dedicate no thought in anyway to what males might, or may not, resolve to do. It's also interesting to see a relative lack of male enthusiasm interpreted as a problem that falls on women. Severe menstruation signs like cramps, heavy bleeding, and lengthy duration of bleeding could also be a sign of fertility downside.

You've heard the narrative: Young evangelicals are abandoning traditional morality. A lot of people want it to be true, but is it? Stay tuned to BreakPoint.
Dr. Rosaria Butterfield has an amazing story to tell—and it's her story. A former lesbian feminist professor, she started studying Christianity in order to debunk it—but ended up embracing it.
Today, she's a dedicated Christian apologist, wife, and mother, with two books about the faith to her credit. Although some Christians will struggle with same-sex attraction their whole lives, she, in God's grace, was able to leave it behind.
So it's not surprising that Wheaton College, one of the nation's premier Christian colleges, invited Dr. Butterfield to tell her story at a chapel service.
But some 100 students protested the chapel and what they called Dr. Butterfield's "dangerous" message—a message that would only tell one side of the same-sex story.
They held signs saying things like "Rosaria's story is valid, mine is too," and "I'm gay and a beloved child of God. That's my story."
Dr. Butterfield graciously met and talked with these demonstrators later. "I know too well the world these students inhabit," she wrote, recalling how she herself had once participated in similar activism.
So is this another one of those "young Christian millennials are abandoning traditional morality" stories that it's been made out to be? Not by a long shot. As Manhattan Declaration Director Eric Teetsel pointed out at the Federalist, while 100 protesters got the attention, "2,000 millennial evangelicals" inside the chapel "didn't protest her message . . . they gave her a standing ovation."
One of the most common cultural narratives being foisted upon us is that young people, especially evangelical young people, are giving up on traditional understandings of sexuality and marriage; and yes evidence shows that many have. But this narrative tries to portray a certain inevitability about the end of traditional sexual morality.
Folks, I have to tell you, as I travel and speak at colleges and universities all over the country, I see hundreds and thousands of young Christians who still hold to traditional views of sexuality and marriage. And many others who haven't yet made up their minds.
I'm not alone. Eric Teetsel described his experience speaking at the Jubilee conference in Pittsburgh: "I was speaking on the meaning and purpose of marriage," he wrote, "and there were many other sessions with speakers far more famous than I, yet they came flowing in. When they ran out of chairs some went out and found more. When there were no more, they sat on the floor and stood in the back."
Eric wrote ironically, "Don't these young people know they aren't supposed to exist?" But they do, and "they wanted to know how to make a case for marriage."
We have to help them make that case. As sociologist Christian Smith points out, if a student can't articulate what he believes to be true, then it's very tedious and fragile.
I've seen this first-hand working with Summit Ministries. When students can articulate their beliefs, their confidence grows. This is especially true of the pro-life movement. When young people learn how to articulate a defense for the unborn, like thousands do at Summit and Students for Life conferences, they're unbelievable. They'll defend life on the plane on the way home; they'll start campus groups; they'll do sidewalk counseling; and they'll start incredibly innovative organizations like the Live Action network or Save the Storks.
Not only must the Church help people understand why they believe what they believe, we have to equip them to be able to articulate what they believe in the public square.
That narrative, that we're losing young people on issues of human sexuality, will only continue if we allow it to. It will continue if we fail to tell stories like that of Rosaria Butterfield, the 2,000 young Christians who applauded her, and the students who flocked to Pittsburgh to learn how to defend marriage.
So please, come to BreakPoint.org for resources that will help the young people in your life understand and articulate a Christian perspective on sexual morality and marriage.

(elbcradio.com/Apr. 30, 2015)-The Liberian Government says its post-Ebola plans will focus on building a better health sector.
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf said building a better health sector will prepare the country to respond to any infectious disease outbreak She spoke Thursday, April 30, 2015 at the decommissioning ceremony of the Monrovia Medical Unit in Margibi County.
She said: Because Liberias health sector was not equipped, the Ebola virus overwhelmed the country and people.
The Liberian Leader also noted: The Government is working along with international organizations to ensure that the countrys public health services get better to meet the health care needs of the people.
President Johnson-Sirleaf again lauded the Government and other organizations for their collaborations in combating the Ebola virus in Liberia.
Also speaking at the decommissioning ceremony, United States Ambassador to Liberia, Deborah Malac, praised the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps members for their crucial role played in Liberias Ebola fight.
Ambassador Malac said: Their role in the country helped save the lives of Liberians and foreigner health care workers who contracted the Ebola virus.
Their services to the Liberian people will be remembered, the US Diplomat also said.
She also lauded Liberians for demonstrating their highest commitment to the fight against the pandemic.
The American Ambassador then pledged the US Governments continued support to Liberias overall national development.
She called for greater partnership between the Liberian Government and international organizations to make the countrys health sector stronger and better.
In a related development, the Commander of the Commission Corps Ebola Response in West Africa says the Commissions members were satisfied to render their services to the three Ebola-affected countries.
Scott Giberson said: Through our services in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, we were able to prevent, detect and to effectively respond to the Ebola outbreak.
Speaking Thursday, April 30, 2015 at the Monrovia Medical Units decommissioning ceremony, Mr. Giberson described Liberians, Ebola survivors, health care workers and members of the Monrovia Medical Unit as resilient people.
Meanwhile, the nine health care workers, treated at the unit some time ago, praised the medical facility staffs for their humanitarian care that has kept them alive.

Jay Radcliffe on Implanted Medical Device Security
Jay Radcliffe (@jradcliffe02) has been in the security business for over twelve years, and is currently a Senior Security Analyst for InGuardians.
Radcliffe, a diabetic, made headlines two years ago when he gave a presentation on weaknesses in diabetic medical devices, how similar they were to industrial SCADA systems, and how they can be hacked.
This year at BSidesLV, Radcliffe gave another very intriguing talk where he performed a live demo of a critical software flaw that has never been discussed publicly.
Aside from his research into the buggy device, Radcliffe also discussed how there is no real imperative for the device manufacturers to remedy such flaws, even though they may put the users of these devices in harms way, including the possibility of death.
Radcliffe also discusses the limitations that agencies like the FDA have when addressing these kinds of vulnerabilities, and how progress has been made in the vetting of many medical devices where security is concerned…

It has been incredibly difficult to start blogging again. Can't tell you why, really. I imagine I probably got burned out getting the film in rough cut stage over the course of the last few months. But, thankfully, I have had some time to relax and rest up. Now it's time to start "pounding the pavement" again. I'll do my best to keep you more updated about the film, my friends. We are so appreciative that you care enough to follow along with this filmmaking journey.
We worked really hard to get the film into its current state, but there's more work to do. My team worked hard on the gathering of music, composing original scores, graphic design, motion graphics, social media management, setting up our Withoutabox information, and so much more. By the way, the film totally has an IMDB page now, thanks to Chris Moore who helped make that happen (yay!): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1788347/.
Thanks to the effort of so many people, we submitted the rough cut of the film to its first film festival. This is a huge milestone, and I'm thrilled to have it behind us now. So, what now, you ask? Well, now we finish the film.
From this stage, we'll start the serious tweaking and adding of the final finesse. Motion graphics (opening title sequence, lower thirds, chapter headings, end credits, etc.), music, sound engineering, color correction, adding more images and footage....the list is a long one, but I'm hoping this is the easier part now. The hard part, for me, was editing the story together. The fun part, for me, will be finally sharing these three plus years of hard work.
We'll have the film in its final stages by the end of February if all goes according to plan. We'll hear back about the film festival by early March. We dearly hope that we'll be able to show the film in April in North Carolina. After that, we'll have some super fun events and will be able to start sharing the film with you later next year.
Wow, it feels good to be typing such sentences. We have worked diligently for a very long time, and I absolutely cannot wait to share the film with you. Thanks, always, for following along, asking about our progress, and supporting me when I'm close to breaking down. What a dream come true this whole things has been! I feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

Reina not ruling out Napoli return next season
Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has not ruled out making a return to Napoli next season amid continuing uncertainty over his future.
The Spaniard spent 2013-14 on loan in Naples, and impressed for Rafael Benitez's side as they won the Coppa Italia and finished third in Serie A.
Reina, currently away with Spain's FIFA World Cup squad, will return to Liverpool ahead of next term.
However, with Simon Mignolet now established as the Merseyside club's first-choice keeper, Reina is open to the idea of leaving Anfield for good - with Napoli one possible destination.
"I believe that the possibility is there," he told Radio Onda Cero. "In Naples I've been very good this year, where I feel well-liked and where there is a plan on the table that makes you dream.
"I never discarded the idea of staying in Naples.
"I have a contract at Liverpool and I have to go back there, but there are also chances that (I will) go away again."
