Hey Everyone!
I am loving gardening and being able to go outside and work around after a rough day. There is something about working around the garden alone in the evenings.
Gardening definitely makes me miss living in a small town in the middle of nowhere this time of year. The towns I lived in while in college are college towns, at the same time there are families who live there, and the college is a welcome part of the community. With the exception of some of the freshman (thinking back to my own freshman year and lower division classes), the majority of the student body were there to learn. There were also a fair amount of older / non traditional students who had kids, in addition to the school not being a party school (can anyone say "dry campus"), made for a more family friendly community small town feel. Outside of town limits it was all farm land, whether they were growing grass for hay, hops for beer, or grapes to make wine, it is definitely a farming area. A lot of people who lived outside city limits also had gardens, some had chickens and or goats. There were at least a couple alpaca farms. It took leaving the city and moving there to realize that I am not a city girl.
It took living there to plant the seeds of wanting to live in the country, on some acreage where I can have a flower garden and a fruit & vegetable garden as well as chickens, maybe some goats, and so much more. I personally fell in love with living in the country, not super far from a small town.
Living there taught me how to appreciate the quiet and simpleness of a summer's evening, and gardening once the sun is past it's peak (between 5:30 and 7:30 pm), and enjoy watching the sun go down while sitting outside especially if there is a breeze.
Living in a small town where the regular TV stations didn't always come through clearly, and many businesses closed by 7:00 pm, there wasn't a lot to do like there is in the city. That didn't bother me at all. It really helped me to appreciate the simpler things in life like the beauty of a summers evening, and going for a walk for something to do. It fits well with who I am. That slower pace of life, and enjoying the simpler way of life in terms of not having to be going from one store to another, spending lots of money, or constantly needing to go somewhere and do something is what works for me. If I ever have a family of my own, I would love to raise my kids near a small town.
Working around in the garden this week gave me time to think about how much more I want to do and what I want to grow and make for myself. While there is more of a resurgence of the Homesteading / Urban Homesteading Lifestyle out here in this part of the country, it seems like how much of what women did a couple generations ago (and they weren't all urban housewives), is a chapter in the history books. Homesteading, even Modern Homesteading and urban Homesteading are a lot of work, but I love the way I feel at the end of a long day of work and being tired from actually accomplishing something.
This week I have picked about a pint of raspberries each day, and yesterday I picked some of my lettuce that I had planted earlier this week. I watered the garden, and kept a watchful eye on the tomato plants. It was a good thing that we staked the tomatoes last weekend. They have grown so much in the past week, it's crazy. As of yesterday there were 11 flowers that I counted between all the plants. If we hadn't staked them when we did, they would likely be falling over already.

When you search for something in some search engine, most probably, you rarely go farther than the first page to get results. Search engines, solving the distribution of the first, the second and the last place among the websites, consider internal and external factors. The internal factors are connected with the website content, and the external - with the quality of links to your web resource from other sites.
Site optimization is meant to solve a task how to increase the attractiveness of site content for different search engines. All of them function by similar principles and it is not mandatory to try optimizing the site similar to Google or Yandex. Site optimization can be implemented independently, but specialists, of course, will manage to do this work better and make your site get the highest results in search engines.
For the past years, the work principles, according to which site optimization is functioning, have been completely determined. First of all, this is determination of site's semantic kernel. This item is implemented on the basis of data on activity, tasks and aims of site's owner. Seo internal optimization includes search of the required designer solutions for the web resource. Illustrations and graphic elements are processed using the technologies Flash and Java Script.
Website optimization means organization of internal reference resource structure. The following is analyzed:
text of the page they are leading to is evaluated.
According to the semantic kernel, seo optimization includes correction of site's content. This is one of the main stages because being an interesting content complying with the aims and tasks of the resource it can attract new customers; so, poorly though-out content will push away both the customers and the search engines.
Site optimization means correction of site structure. For instance, the site has a difficult menu, unreadable font, confused navigation – this all creates difficulties in search of the necessary information, as well as does not facilitate the "love" of search engines towards the present resource. Сео optimizers will correct the structure and will make it nice.
Finally, services of optimization provide for correct site indexation by search engines. It is not worth indexing definite sections of the site – they are singled out in a special group. The server will get ready for processing of transfers to the site by mistake.
If you select a company, which works in the sector of site optimization for a long time and has good rates in this direction, your web resource will take the leading positions in all search systems very soon.

The Road to Change – On a mission to save lives!
Dr. Sheela Aggarwal is a gynecologist and she has an urgent patient that she needs to attend. She looks tensed and is constantly giving instructions to her subordinates over the phone. In between she is also asking her driver to move fast. But every time she gets the same answer "Madam traffic hai." It took her almost 3 hours to cover a distance that could have been covered in an hour otherwise. Inspite of trying so hard, she could not make it on time.
Most of us have gone through a similar situation where we could not make it on time because of traffic and thus, have suffered. Traffic is the latest nightmare of Indian cities. The collapsing infrastructure and growing number of vehicles are causing deaths, loss of mental peace, health crisis & economic loss. Road traffic injuries are a neglected epidemic in India and as studies suggest, by 2020 road accidents will be the 3rd most important health hazard worldwide. AIDS being 10th and World War being 8th.
We are "The Road To Change," a non-profit organization and we believe that the cause of this epidemic is lack of awareness and training. People in India are not properly trained or aware about the importance of being disciplined. Thus, it is our mission to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries and the consequent personal and financial losses by developing a public and private partnership to promote the best driving practices, enforcement of traffic regulations and ideal management of traffic infrastructure.
Understanding the importance of traffic management, we plan to interact with government authorities and private organizations to obtain their support and involvement. But we believe that it is not possible without creating awareness of traffic issues and the need for enforcement of driving regulations. The Road To Change also wishes to supplement/assist all regulatory authorities in activities of traffic discipline, control, technology, enforcement and response to various public issues. We are here to promote and encourage disciplined driving and pedestrian movements and work towards facilitating such efforts.
We believe that creating awareness is an important step toward building commuter's understanding, influencing opinion and motivating behavior.
As Dan Bellack says "Life is too short for traffic" so, let's not waste our lives on road.
Do you agree with this statement?

Thankfully, our like H.N.I.C. (Head Nut in Charge), Sarah Palin, fell out of the news this week. I was getting tired of her anyway. She gets way too much press. But her compatriots have given us more than enough material.
The word of the week is post post-racial. Anyone who still believes that we are living in a post-racialist America must have missed last week's confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayer, because racism was alive and in full effect.
Perhaps, the racist highlight of the week was MSNBC Political Commentator Pat Buchannan's racist rant on the Rachel Maddow show. Now, dear Uncle Pat is an old school racist left over from yesteryear. I am not sure why MSNBC even still keeps him around. But he is good for comic relief from time to time.
Many people complained that Rachel did not press him enough. But I like Rachel's approach. She just sat back and gave ol' Uncle Pat enough rope to hang himself. His main complaints are that Sotomayer is not qualified even though her credentials far surpass any other judge nominated for the Supreme Court thus far, and that she is nothing more than an affirmative action baby. But halfway during his rant, the racist truth reared its ugly head. Uncle Pat fell back on one of the oldest racist arguments of all time: White men built this country, and now white men are getting discriminated against. Check out ol' Uncle Pat in action:
Can you believe that? Ol' Uncle Pat is nutz right along with the rest of his buddies.
But the ironic indignation award of the week belongs to Alabama GOP Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, otherwise known as Jeff Sessions. Remember him? He was President Ronald Reagan's choice for the U.S. District Court in Alabama in the early spring of 1986. However, Sessions' nomination was derailed when it came to light that he had labeled the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) "un-American" and "Communist-inspired". In addition, he also referred to a white lawyer as a disgrace to his race for his representation of voting rights defendants. And as if that was not enough, Sessions joked to several colleagues the he "used to think they [the Klan] were OK" until he found out some of them were "pot smokers" [Source].
Sessions didn't deny any of it. But he did say that these remarks were all made in jest. He and his cronies are perhaps the only people that find his remarks funny, though. But during the confirmation hearings, Sessions took it upon himself to lecture Sotomayer on race relations and racism in this country as if that is not the most absolutely absurd thing anyone with good sense has ever heard.
And in lesser nutz newz, our favorite token, Michael Steele told a number of bloggers at the Young Republican Convention that he would lure blacks to the Republican Party using fried chicken and potato salad. I don't think his remarks would have been that controversial had he been talking to a room full of African Americans, but the fact that he made these remarks to a mostly white, conservative audience gave them added significance. You be the judge:
And also Zell Miller, former Georgia governor and senator and frequent Fox contributor, whose claim to fame is inviting MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews to a duel during the 2004 elections, stated that President Obama's chief of staff should use "Gorilla Glue" to keep him in his seat in the Oval Office. Of course, he and the rest of his party feigned surprise when the remark was taken as racist. [Click her for story] [Click here for poll.]
But I have saved the best for last. Some crazy, nutz minister out of California actually went on record stating the he was actively praying for the demise of President Obama. People, you just can't get any nuttier than this. ANd that Fox News gave him a platform to espouse this foolishness is even nuttier. You've got to hear this to believe it:
I wonder what God thinks about being caught up in this madness?
And now it's time for my commentary. I keep hearing commentators excuse the actions of the GOP as "playing to its base." In other words, they are performing for the benefit of the people back home, their constituents. But what does it say about their constituents that to impress them, that to guarantee their votes, you have to resort to racist language and innuendo?
The GOP missed a great opportunity to both reconnect with Hispanics and possibly other minorities by simply recognizing the many qualifications of Judge Sotomayer and working to facilitate her confirmation which they even admit was practically inevitable. In addition, they could have used the occasion to improve race relations, to ameliorate the racist fears of many who are simply frightened by all the changes of late.
However, instead they squandered this opportunity by pandering to the racists back home. I don't see what they gained this week except to further underline the racism seemingly inherent in the party.
Somewhere not too long ago I read that any organization is only strong as and cannot rise any higher than the abilities of its leadership and the quality of the leadership's ideas. But if the GOP leadership cannot do any better than this, if the GOP leadership thinks their best hope is to foment racial fears and posit already disproven racial arguments, they have already lost. They are, in a word, completely nutz.
And that's all the GOP Nutz Watch Nutz Newz for this week, at least all I have room for. And remember Max Reddick is watching deez nutz so you don't have the discomfort of watching them yourself.

Mr. Yasuhiro Tojo, Chief Representative, JICA Pakistan and Mr. Syed Mujtaba Hussain, Joint Secretary, EAD at the signing ceremony.
Islamabad, March 27, 2018: The Government of Japan has agreed to extend grant assistance to the Government of Pakistan, namely "the Economic and Social Development Programme", worth 500 million Japanese Yen (approximately 4.7 million US dollar), and "the Project for Improvement of Airport Security (Phase 2)" worth 2.392 billion Japanese yen (approximately 22.5 million US dollar).
On March 27 in Islamabad, the signing for the projects took place between Mr. Takashi Harada, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Japan and Syed Ghazanfar Abbas Jilani, the Secretary of Economic Affairs Division (EAD).
The grant for "the Economic and Social Development Programme" will be used to procure equipment for meteorological observation. It will enable the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) to improve the accuracy of weather forecasts and to disseminate the early warnings for climate disaster.
The second project, for which the Exchange of Notes (E/N) documents were signed today, "the Project for Improvement of Airport Security (Phase 2)" is a follow-up of the grant aid signed in 2013. Through the second phase project Japan will provide the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) with security equipment for screening of check-in baggage, hand baggage and vehicles at Karachi, Faisalabad, Multan and the New Islamabad International Airports, while the phase one project provided security equipment for Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad airports.
This equipment embrace the latest technology matching the international security standards set by the United States and the European Union. By installing this equipment, the risk of security related incidents at the four airports will be reduced, and operation of the airports will be improved.
Mr. Yasuhiro Tojo, Chief Representative of JICA Pakistan office, said that this project will support the Government of Pakistan to achieve the key objective of the National Aviation Policy 2015 which is "to improve the governance and oversight for the compliance of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards of aviation safety, security and efficiency" in Pakistan.
Mr. Takashi Harada, the acting Japanese Ambassador, added that "we appreciate the tireless efforts of the Government of Pakistan for the socio-economic development and the improvement of the security situation." He further emphasized that the two grants from Japan will support the work of the Government of Pakistan and would strengthen the existing bond of friendship between the two countries.

[l2.SELF:node/75]There were a number of steps required to get "FeedBurner":http://www.feedburner.com to work the way I wanted it to. My goal was a seamless RSS feed that I could easily track using FeedBurner's wonder statistics and maybe get some wider exposure. I also wanted to maintain the "brand", in my case the domain name, as much as possible. Here is what I did:
h2. Grab the Drupal FeedBurner module
The module can be downloaded from the "FeedBurner project page":http://drupal.org/project/feedburner. After that install and activate the module normally.
*WARNING*: The _1.0 Beta3_ package has a bug that prevents feeds with empty paths from being edited. I found the "development":http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/feedburner-6.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz package dated _2008-Aug-22_to be a requirement.
You can ignore the configuration options for now. They will make more sense after your FeedBurner account is set up.
h2. Get a FeedBurner account
If you do not have a "FeedBurner":http://www.feedburner.com account then head over there and set one up. It's easy and uses your Google login if you have one.
h2. _Burn_ a feed
The process of having FeedBurner track and delivery your feeds is known as _burning_. There are three separate steps to this and yes, it can get a bit confusing. The first step is to figure out which feed you want to burn. To make this easy I will burn the front-page feed, which should be your site URI and _rss.xml_. For me this is http://www.canfield.com/rmm.xml.
The next step is to tell FeedBurner about this feed. Head over to "FeedBurner":http://www.feedburner.com, login and you should be at the main _burn_ page. If not click _My feeds_ in the mini-navigation bar at the top of the page.
p=. [l2:#-burn|caption=Add a burn]
The example shows that I have already entered two feeds. The way I did that was to enter the URI for my feed (http://feeds.canfield.com/CanfieldResearchGroup) where prompted (the circled area int he image above). Then click the _Next_ button. You will be shown a confirmation screen with the _Feed Title_ pulled from your page and the FeedBurner address to use (_Feed Address_) is shown just below the FeedBurner URL that is appropriate for your account. The title and address can be changed with the caveat that the _Feed Address_ is local to the domain shown above it (shared), so the name you want may not be available. Once everything is set the way you like, click on _Next_.
If all worked properly you will be shown the full URI of your FeedBurner feed. For me it was http://feed2.feedburner.com/CanfieldResearchGroup. Now we need to tell Drupal about this.
You will need to do this for every feed you want FeedBurner to track for you. I recommend only tracking your primary feeds for now.
*NOTE*: There is a way to mask the FeedBurner URL, that is explained in a bit. For now, ignore it.
h2. Configure Drupal's general FeedBurner settings
Now that FeedBurner knows about you, you need to redirect all you feeds to FeedBurner. The FeedBurner module you installed above either redirect or optionally rewrite (experimental feature, but worked for me) all the feed URLs that you have entered. You need to be logged into your Drupal site as the administrator and have the FeedBurner module enabled.
Before we can do anything else we need to tell Drupal what the FeedBurner base URL is for this site. Navigate to Administer / Site Configuration / FeedBurner. This need be done only once per site. The settings I used are:
| Name | Setting | Notes |
| Redirection HTTP header status code | 307 Temporary Redirect | The default and recommended setting |
| Replace all links to burned FeedBurner feeds in the source HTML | Checked | Rewrites the URLs on the rendered page, saving a HTTP redirect operation. While experimental I found it to work well. |
| FeedFlare/Standard Stats/Ad Network | NONE | I do not use FeedFlare at this time. FeedFlare will present your RSS feeds using FeedBurner's theme along with a bunch of handy subscription and social networking links. I did not care for this look so opted out. If you enable this be sure to also enable on the FeedBurner site. |
| Advanced settings | Expand this | The FeedBurner base URL will probably need to be changed, and that is in this section |
| User agents allowed direct feed access | feedburner, feedvalidator | The default, one per line. Without these FeedBurner will get redirects to FeedBurner when visiting your RSS feeds. That would effectively disable feeds. So an exception is made to prevent redirection when a FeedBurner client comes visiting |
|MyBrand custom domain | feeds2.feedburner.com | This URL comes from the base URL that FeedBurner assigned when you entered you RSS feed into FeedBurner. My feed was @http://feed2.feedburner.com/[email protected], so I would enter just the base URL here without the path: @http://[email protected] |
Save these settings and you are ready to start burning feeds.
h2. Telling Drupal about FeedBurner feeds
Finally we get to tell Drupal which feeds need to be redirected to FeedBurner. That's pretty easy. Just head on over to the Drupal configuration page at Administer / Site building / FeedBurner. If _rss.xml_ is present then edit it, otherwise click on the _Burn Feed_ tab and enter the local and FeedBurner feeds. This example uses a local feed of 'rss.xml' and a FeedBurner feed of 'CanfieldResearchGroup'. Note how most of the URL is already defined base don Drupal site configuration and the FeedBurner general settings done above.
You can also use the _Blogs_ and _Taxonomy_ tabs to see a list of all Drupal feeds available.
The same general process can be used as many times as desired; define FeedBurner feed in http://www.feedburner.com, tell Drupal to use FeedBurner for the feed.
h2. Branding your URL
The final step is to vanquish the FeedBurner URL form your pages. To do this requires you have access to your DNS configuration. If you do not, or do not understand DNS, then pass this step alone to an associate (or [l2:contact|contact CRG]) to help you. Head on over to "MyBrand":http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mybrand (you will probably need to be logged into FeedBurner for this to work) and follow the instructions. Then head back over Drupal's Administer / Site configuration / FeedBurner,e xpand the _Advanced_ area and enter your shiny branded URL.
h2. What's nexthttp://www.canfield.com/category/subjects/cad/floorplan
Now that you have feeds configured and maybe the URL branded, it's time to go to FeedBurner's site and examine the tons of options available to you.

In a column leading up to this year's Classic on Alabama's Lay Lake, Mike Bolton of the Birmingham News wrote that he liked the chances of the "local" boys in the contest. This was a fairly bold prediction, given that no home-state angler has ever won the event in its entire 37-year history. But Boyd Duckett broke the curse and proved Bolton right. Here's the latter's report:
_Rookie Classic angler Boyd Duckett of Demopolis broke the curse to become the first angler to win a Bassmaster Classic in his home state. With confetti falling and "Sweet Home Alabama" blaring over the loudspeakers this afternoon, Duckett lifted the Bassmaster Classic trophy over his head before a delirious crowd of about 15,000 in the BJCC Arena. Duckett's win on Lay Lake marked the first time an Alabama angler has won the Classic since Phenix City's Jack Chancellor 22 years ago. California's Skeet Reese finished second and two-time Classic winner Kevin VanDam finished third. Duckett had a three-day catch of 48 pounds, 10 ounces and beat Reese by just six ounces. _

Ørsted has entered into an agreement with the D.E. Shaw Group to acquire a 100% equity interest in Rhode Island-based Deepwater Wind at a purchase price of USD 510 million. The two companies' offshore wind assets and organizations will be merged into the leading US offshore wind platform with the most comprehensive geographic coverage and the largest pipeline of development capacity.
Photo credit: Deepwater Wind
Deepwater Wind, the leading US offshore wind developer, has built an attractive and geographically diverse portfolio of projects along the US East Coast. Deepwater Wind's portfolio has a total potential capacity of approx. 3.3GW comprising:
- Block Island (30MW), the only operational offshore wind farm in the US
- Three offshore wind development projects in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland and New York totaling 810MW of capacity with long-term revenue contracts in place or pending finalization.
- Approximately 2.5GW of offshore wind development potential across three well-sited BOEM lease areas in Massachusetts and Delaware. Of these 2.5GW, 1.2GW is developed through an equal joint venture with PSEG, a leading New Jersey utility.
Ørsted's current US offshore wind portfolio has a total capacity of approx. 5.5GW comprising:
- Development rights for up to 2GW at the Bay State Wind site off the coast of Massachusetts owned in a joint venture with Eversource.
- Development rights for up to 3.5GW at the Ocean Wind site off the coast of New Jersey.
- In Virginia, Ørsted will be constructing two 6MW wind turbine positions for phase one of Dominion Energy's Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project. Ørsted has exclusive rights with Dominion Energy to discuss the potential development of up to 2GW of offshore wind capacity.
With the combined organization and asset portfolio, Ørsted will be able to deliver clean energy to the seven states on the US East Coast that have already committed to build more than 10GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
Martin Neubert, CEO of Offshore Wind at Ørsted, says: "With this transaction we're creating the number one offshore wind platform in North America, merging the best of two worlds: Deepwater Wind's longstanding expertise in originating, developing and permitting offshore wind projects in the US, and Ørsted's unparalleled track-record in engineering, constructing, and operating large-scale offshore wind farms. Today's announcement consolidates Ørsted's position as the global market leader in offshore wind with a strong foothold across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific."
"D.E. Shaw & Co. has been a dedicated owner of Deepwater Wind with a vision to pioneer offshore wind in the US and being at the innovative forefront of technology investment. We are excited to continue this journey and take the industry to the next level."

Critic Reviews for Grizzly
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (5)
"Grizzly" is not only clumsily plotted, photographed and edited, it is also downright rude when it insists on showing us the bear lopping off an arm or decapitating a horse.
"Grizzly" finds its own footing after introductions are made, doing a fine job transitioning the shark role to an enormous bear, while star Christopher George does his best to keep panic in the air.
The meager plot follows the bear as it lumbers about slicing up tourists--and not just to get their picnic baskets--pursued by a heroic forest ranger (George) and a naturalist (Jaeckel).
Marked as a rip-off of Spielberg's classic Jaws, Grizzly certainly and desperately fails in its intent and overall, you can spot the similarities throughout.
As a drive-in-level guilty pleasure of the most obvious and brainless variety, Grizzly is quite a bit of good, campy fun.
A serviceable Jaws ripoff that was perfect '70s drive-in fare.
Audience Reviews for Grizzly
Grizzly has got the reputation of being one of the first of many Jaws rip offs. This tale of nature gone wild is one enjoyable horror film. If you can forget that this is a rip-off of Jaws, then you're sure to enjoy this awesome horror film. Grizzly is one of those Cult films that you're just happy to rediscover. Though it was inspired by Jaws, Grizzly is gem of a film. The acting is pretty good considering that this is a low budget film, and the bear attacks are quite impressive too. What I like about the film is that they used a live bear to make the film. Grizzly felt very realistic. I really enjoyed the blood and gore. I felt that Grizzly is very underrated. Yes, it is a rip off of Jaws, but that doesn't mean it's a bad film. The film quite good and it's a very impressive film with a good enough, but predictable plot. In the end, does it really matter? The Grizzly keeps the body bags full, and there's plenty of carnage on-screen to appeal to horror fans. Grizzly is also one of the better Jaws rip offs along with Piranha. Some people have said that the acting was awful, and the dialogue was bad, but I actually found the performances and dialogue to be quite good. The star of this film is of course, the bear. Grizzly is a fun, entertaining film that delivers good chills and a good time. For a Jaws rip-off, this is a great, obscured gem that Cult horror fans will relish.
Super Reviewer
Another in the long line of 'so good it's bad' movies, this complete and utter Jaws echo is about as much fun as you could hope for from a killer grizzly bear movie. The highlight of the thing for me would be the bear decapitating a horse. I laughed extremely hard at that. The whole thing is cliche'd, over the top and just horrible - but damn is it entertaining. If you sit back and try not to take this seriously, you'll have a good time.
Super Reviewer
Jaws with a bear (complete with exploding antagonist finale) except not nearly well as acted, directed, written or executed.

February 16th demo program "Photographing Your Paintings". Everyone is invited.
The February CAL demonstration program will be presented by Ken Ronney, president of the California Art League. He will present a workshop/demonstration on "Photographing your paintings". The program will be on Tuesday, February 16, 7:00 to 9:00
Techniques of setup, lighting, camera settings and cropping will be explained. Bring your digital camera and tripod (if you have one) and, a painting or two that you want to photograph. Following the lecture/slideshow portion, we will spend as much time as needed to photograph member's paintings with member's cameras. Ken will bring several tripods. Several easels are available at the Center.
Since all CAL exhibits, and many, many others require entry by digital photos, this is a very timely subject.
Ken has been developing fool-proof techniques for photographing paintings for the last 5 years, taking many photos of a very prolific painter's work, a fellow CAL member.
CAL members and guests are invited.
The meeting is at the SFV Arts & Cultural Center, 18312 Oxnard St., Tarzana. The meeting starts at 7:00. Light refreshments will be served. CAL members, guests and visitors are welcome. Suggested donation for members is $5.00. Non-members $8.00.
Parking is available in the fenced lot behind the center, just across the alley. DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF ANY OF THE ROLL UP DOORS IN FRONT OF BUSINESSES BEHIND THE ART GALLERY.
While you are at the demonstration, take time to enjoy the current exhibit on display, "Absolute Abstracts". There are 108 pieces of art from about 35 artists. It is an excellent exhibit.
The Center is closed due to COVID-19

Writing in a world in crises
The empty chair is for the comedian Zargana convicted to 35 years in prison.
Writing in a world in crises is problematic. The freedom of expression is shackled by taboos about certain subjects. In Turkey those are: Kemal Atta Turk, Armenia, the Kurdish issue, political Islam and military in politics. If as a writer you even slightly approach one of these subjects in a way that is perceived to be critical of the official views you can end up up killed like Hrant Dink or in jail like Leyla Zalan.
The other part of the evening was dedicated to Palestinian writers. We know Mourid Barghouti, but who else. Can writers escape politics, I am afraid they cannot: they still need paper and pen, light at night and the safety to live and think in, food for their families and medical care.
There are 700 checkpoints and people cannot go to their fields or visit their family, there is hardly any water. The task of the Palestinian writers is Herculean: to create a new world while being powerless in an occupied country. Peace now, so that children, men and women and poetry can flourish.

Many wise and famous persons, including many successful writers, have agreed, throughout history, that 'The ONLY reason to write is to make money'. People who disregard this truism, and attempt to change the world by writing, frequently only succeed in changing their own, individual world, by enclosing it within bars. Because they are also disregarding the wisdom of another successful writer, Elmore Leonard, who advises 'Write whatever you want, but then eliminate all the parts people don't want to read'.ReplyDelete

For those who see a contradiction in my posts, yes, Muddy does pay me by the word. I don't contribute this drivel just for the fun of it. I presume all you other posters are paid as well. Perhaps we should all get together and compare rates, maybe form a 'Muddy's Posters' Union', hold 'Muddy'd Poster's Protests', take a chance on incarceration to protect our 'inalienable rights to fair and equitable compensation'. After all, a lot of good writing has been done behind prison walls, where distractions are kept to a minimum, like pursuing the weevils in your gruel each morning. A bit of solitary confinement might provide just the boost some of your careers need.ReplyDelete

Aftermath: Cotto vs Ali
Boxing Monthly
04/12/2017 12:29am
In the wake of Miguel Cotto's shock Saturday night loss to Sadam Ali in his final fight we asked Callum Rudge, James Oddy, Colin Harris and Michael Montero for their assessment of the fight and the Puerto Rican's legacy...
BM: How big a surprise was Ali's win? And how much does it hurt Cotto's 'legacy'?
CR: It was a big surprise, Ali was seen as a soft touch for Cotto to retire on. Cotto looked good vs Kamegai in August and Ali was still rebuilding after being stopped at welter by Jessie Vargas. As it turns out it's now a candidate for upset of the year. I also think it does hurt his legacy - Cotto now has three losses vs fighters who are less than elite (Trout, Ali and Margarito, although the latter has a big asterisk next to it). While he's a first ballot hall of famer I think he's short of being an all-time great.
JO: I was extremely dismissive of Ali in my preview of the fight, although I don't think it was controversial to suggest he wouldn't pose much of a threat - it was the consensus view. As such, Ali's win was an upset of the year candidate. Regards Cotto's legacy, this result does tarnish it, because it showed, like the Trout loss also did, that Cotto can struggle to change things up when he needs to. He was still a brilliant fighter however.
CH: We didn't expect Ali to win, so it IS an upset. I don't think many of us took him seriously at all. The event was seen as a "Goodbye Cotto" event rather than a competitive contest and we all expected the Puerto Rican to bow out with a clear points win. So it's certainly not great for Cotto's legacy, but as he'd already announced it was his final fight we can all acknowledge that he was a fighter on the way out anyway, and we've seen top fighters bow out with a loss many times before.
MM: It was most certainly an upset, but not all that surprising in retrospect. Cotto has had a long career and it showed in the early rounds of this fight, as he was wobbled several times. Just when he had warmed up and seemed to be taking control, the proud Puerto Rican injured his left bicep and could no longer dig his signature punch to Ali's body. From that point, youth had its way. This loss does not hurt Cotto's legacy at all.
BM: What is your assessment of Cotto's career and the extent of his 'greatness'?
CR: Cotto has rightly been commended for his willingness to take on the best fighters in the sport. He was never outclassed by anyone but I always look at him as an 'A-class' fighter who didn't beat many other 'A-class' fighters, I think Shane Mosley is the exception to that but when it truly mattered, the Puerto Rican often fell short.
JO: Cotto is a Hall of Fame fighter without a doubt and one of the best of his era. An all time great? I don't think he was anywhere near that conversation.
CH: Cotto was one of the greats of his generation and I'm sure he'll get into the IBHOF ... but to me he's never been one of the true greats at any weight he's been champion at. His legacy is more of the 'overall body of work' variety and due to the fact he was the first Puerto Rican four-weight world champ after some brilliant three-weight champs in the past. However the losses through his career keep him from being at the very, very-top of his generation when we look back. There's certainly no shame in losing to Mayweather, Pacquiao or Alvarez, but he is one step below those fighters due to his losses to Trout and Ali, and the Margarito fight (controversy there notwithstanding).
MM: I rate Cotto among the 'fabulous five' of his generation. Floyd, Manny and Wlad were the all-time greats, with Cotto and Juan Manuel Marquez being future hall of famers who fall short of ATG status, but rate among the top ten fighters from their homelands.
BM: Is Ali now a serious player at 154lbs?
CR: 154lbs is a division severely lacking star power now Cotto has left the sport but it is stacked with talent. I would struggle to pick Ali vs the other belt holders; Jermell Charlo, Erislandy Lara and Jarrett Hurd. But I was very impressed with his performance vs Cotto and should he face, say, the UK's Liam Smith next, I wouldn't make Smith a big favourite in that at all.
JO: Ali is an underrated talent, but I think all three of the other belt holders would be able to deal with him. Then again, I did say he didn't pose a threat to Cotto...
CH: No. Ali was a case of "right place, right time" and will not have a long reign. While he deserves his kudos he scrapes into the world top 10 as the weakest of the four champions at a time when 11st is not as deep with talent as it was a couple of years ago. I think all the other champs will fancy a unification against him and all the top-10 rated non-champions will be chomping at the bit to get a crack at him.
MM: Ali has a world title belt and will likely have a successful defence against Liam Smith next spring. But then what? He would be a serious underdog against the elite of the division – Lara, Charlo and Hurd. He's certainly a player, but not a serious one.

We are getting used to commentators such as Peter Van Onselen and Niki Savva railing against the 'reactionary right' or the 'hard right' of the Liberal Party, who apparently had the numbers to tear down Malcolm Turnbull but not enough to install one of their own in his place. Generally, one takes their observations with a grain of salt but every now and then the itch to respond becomes irresistible.
Just what is the agenda of this 'reactionary right' that is such an anathema to all right-thinking conservatives? Let's see. Opposition to the continued destruction of our energy infrastructure, opposition to the as yet unspecified damage to be inflicted on the wider economy to combat the entirely imaginary threat of climate change, opposition to the inexorable march towards a politically correct society based on identity politics, opposition to the vile and insidious Safe Schools program, opposition to the trashing of free speech, opposition to the surrender of our sovereignty to the UN, opposition to the increasing polarization of our society under the banner of multiculturalism. Need I go on?
But Peter Van Onselen, for example, believes the 'reactionary right' is out of touch with mainstream voters:
The problem for the Liberal Party is that it is perceived as dominated by climate-change deniers and opponents of issues such as same-sex marriage. It is electoral poison among younger voters. Added to this is a gender problem. Women aren't joining the party's ranks and, even when they do, they struggle to get preselected.
Van Onselen gives only three examples. I'll deal with climate change later but has PvO forgotten that the arch reactionary righter, Tony Abbott, devised a mechanism whereby the Party's official position on same-sex marriage could be overturned by a conscience vote based on the result of a public plebiscite? Has he forgotten that we now have same sex marriage, enacted under a Liberal government? On the gender issue, it may be true that women struggle to get pre-selection but at the national executive level, at least, under Nick Greiner's presidency, three of four vice presidents are women.
Here's Niki Savva:
Many voters no longer recognise the Liberal Party. It has forgotten how to speak to women and young people. Kelly O'Dwyer laid it out at a private meeting called by the Prime Minister to allow his Victorian MPs to vent when she warned the party was regarded as homophobic, anti-women, climate-deniers. "It has to stop," she said, regretting the demise of the live-and-let-live philosophy of the Liberal Party she joined as a teenager.
'Live and let live' as the philosophy of a political party? Really? That's a great recipe for getting elected!
And here is Savva again, this time employing that time-tested leftist technique – the strawman argument:
A party that prided itself on being a broad church is now marked by intolerance. Alternative views are treated contemptuously, as is anyone who dares put them forward. This is the modern face of the Liberal Party created by those who hog the airwaves and the screens, still parroting the mantra that Morrison has to get out of Paris, as if that is going to convince any normal person — emphasis here on normal — that this will make it rain in Longreach, give the cows in Gippsland free rein on emissions or cut power bills in Brisbane or Boothby.
No-one who promotes ditching the Paris agreement makes these claims, which are nonsensical in any case.
If the next-generation leadership of the Nationals, represented by Agriculture Minister David Littleproud, can talk easily about climate change because he thinks it's real, because his constituents think it's real, because they see its effects on the quality of the environment around them, then surely it's safe for suburban Liberals to say those words about a policy that dare not speak its name without being pilloried: Climate. Change.
I doubt very much that David Littleproud really believes in climate change. His recent appearance on Q&A would seem to give the lie to Savva's assertion.
So the theme that the 'reactionary right' is taking over the Liberal Party to the detriment of its election chances has now gained holy writ status in most of the mainstream press. One of the things that the Left does well is hammer home its message ad nauseam. The Right not so much. They seem to have the view that once having rationally stated their position, the unassailable logic should be enough to sway voters. In recent times, the only Liberal who defied that limp-wristed tradition was Tony Abbott.
So let's have a look at the record.
Turnbull was not travelling too well as Opposition Leader after he allowed himself to get shafted over the Godwin Grech affair. No doubt there were murmurings against him then by disaffected conservatives but it was not until he conspired to grant Kevin Rudd his crowning glory, the ill-fated ETS, that they moved against him. This was a step too far out of the hallowed halls of the 'broad church' and Tony Abbott took over, which led to the landslide victory in 2013. Notable in this phase was that Abbott retained Turnbull's services on the front bench as Shadow Minister for Communications. No doubt this magnanimity was driven, in part, by the fact that Turnbull was seen to have had some skills in this area.
Once in government, Abbott made some mistakes (notably breaking a promise about ABC funding and sticking by his woke paid parental leave scheme) but he also had significant achievements –stopping the boats, axing the carbon tax, cutting back on corporate welfare and making a decision on Sydney's second airport to name a few . That didn't stop Turnbull and his cohorts scheming against him almost from day one. Another mistake Abbot made was to back away from his commitment to reform Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. This could be seen as a sop to the moderates , a concession to the 'broad church' concept. As was his agreement to hold a plebiscite on same-sex marriage and his commitment to be bound by the result.
In the event, Abbott never made it past November 2015 but no front bench position for him. However, some of his closest allies (Cormann, Dutton etc) remained in Cabinet and served Turnbull loyally, despite his disastrous performance in losing 14 seats in the 2016 election, losing 38 Newspolls in a row , crashing out in the Longman and Mayo by-elections etc etc. They were still supporting him at the time he sprung his ill-judged leadership spill in an attempt to thwart a mooted challenge by Dutton. The trigger for all this was Turnbull once again pushing the 'climate change' envelope beyond what was acceptable to the conservatives, as they had made clear when they toppled him the first time. In his time as Prime Minister, Turnbull made no concessions to the right apart from the fact that he held the line on asylum seekers. (It seems somewhat sad to say that something essentially negative like stopping the boats was Tony Abbott's greatest achievement – but it was something Turnbull could never have done and even he was smart enough to know that his job depended on holding the line.) During this period, Christopher Pyne, leader of the self-proclaimed Black Hand faction, boasted openly that the Left faction now had the whip hand.
We now have conservative Senator Jim Molan relegated to an unwinnable position on the NSW Senate ticket. We have conservative Member Craig Kelly almost certain to lose his pre-selection to a former Labor operative. We have Tony Abbott, perhaps the most successful Opposition Leader in history, under siege in his own seat. What happened to 'live and let live'?
And what do we hear? The 'reactionary right' are talking over the Liberal Party.
It seems to me that the conservative wing have been content to' live and let live' on almost every issue except climate change. That is the fault line that runs through the Party.
Feather-weight philosopher, Peter Van Onselen, in a recent column in the Australian observes:
(Senate President Scott) Ryan's point is that you can believe in climate change and still vote Liberal (or be a Liberal).
'Believe in climate change'. (Voice goes up an octave) 'Believe in climate change'! What a mindless statement. Van Onselen likes to claim that Abbott and co are not true Conservatives. 'Belief in climate change' sounds like the very antithesis of conservatism to me.
Climate change has become an ideological issue when it should be a scientific/economic issue with arguments on both sides. But the Left will not allow this. With them, as in all issues, it is an all or nothing approach. You cannot question 'the science', you cannot question the cost effectiveness of proposed actions, you cannot even debate if adaptation might be a more appropriate response than costly mitigation. To do any of these things is to be dismissed as a 'climate denier'.
Even belief in God – the ultimate act of faith – allows for variations and nuance. But not climate science.
Van Onselen claims:
The problem with self-stylised conservatives today is that they are readily prepared to tear down institutions if it advances their campaigning cause.
What institutions are under threat from these renegades, one has to ask? Responsible government? The rule of law? The separation of powers? Religious freedom? Freedom of speech? Trial by jury rather than Twitter?
The only tearing down I can think f is the tearing down of a successful first term Prime Minister.
Where are we now after the reactionary right revolution?
We have an accidental two-bob-each- way Prime Minister who can't bring himself to cut loose from the legacy of the man who's now trying to destroy him, we have a two bob each way Treasurer who thinks business needs a social licence to operate, we have a Defence Minister presiding over both the emasculation of our fighting forces and a major defence purchase designed more to save seats in South Australia than to save the lives of sailors. I could go on but you get the picture. The only remotely conservative Member in a senior position is Angus Taylor and even he will not state the obvious – that the Paris Agreement is a crock. Takeover by the 'reactionary right'? Give me a break.

Trump reaches compromise with Democratic leadership
I have argued over and over in this space for months now that the public, party leaders from both sides, and the media pundits have Trump all wrong, and that reaching compromises that include votes from both parties was originally — and will remain a priority — for the president.
Most of my Liberal friends think I'm actually crazy for supporting Trump, but I believe his actions are the definition of a sound political process that will produce bills, laws and policies GOOD for the country, not one party or point of view. Maybe I am crazy, but I believe in that and never thought I would have a President in the modern era — who also does – and I'm supportive of him and parts of his cabinet, for exactly that reason and no other.
Here's The Hill piece announcing the compromise. Will my Liberal friends trash this deal as well? Probably. I didn't used to think so, but these days, the hatred of personality's has driven reason out of our public discourse, so I just don't know, I'll have to sit here with baited breath and see how this is received on both sides of the aisle.
The Hill — President Trump has reached a deal with congressional Democrats to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling through Dec. 15.
The deal, reached Wednesday at a White House meeting between congressional leaders from both parties and Trump, would attach both measures to a House bill aiding communities hit by Hurricane Harvey.
"We essentially came to a deal, and I think the deal will be very good," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday.
He added that "so we have an extension, which will go out to December 15th. That will include the debt ceiling, that will include the CRs, and it will include Harvey."
Democrats were the first to announce the deal, which appeared to come despite some objections from Republicans.
"In the meeting, the president and congressional leadership agreed to pass aid for Harvey, an extension of the debt limit, and a continuing resolution both to December 15, all together," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a joint statement.
The announcement comes after Pelosi, Schumer, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) met with Trump at the White House to discuss the fall agenda.
"I will be adding that as an amendment to the [House] flood relief bill," McConnell told reporters Wednesday afternoon.
McConnell confirmed he will support the agreement.
Other Republicans, possibly surprised to see the Republican president cut a deal with Democrats, soon raised their concerns.
"The Pelosi-Schumer-Trump deal is bad," said Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.).
Ryan earlier in the day called the idea of adding a three-month extension of the debt ceiling to Harvey aid "ridiculous" after the Democratic leaders proposed it. The initial Democratic offer did not mention the government funding, but it has long been seen as legislation that could be paired with a debt limit hike.
If the deal clears Congress, the package would set up a end-of-the-year cliff on both funding the government and the debt ceiling.
Trump's deal with Democrats also raises new questions for both parties about what will happen next on immigration reform.
The president angered Democrats on Tuesday by announcing the end of a program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, that allowed young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children to stay, get work permits and delay deportation.
Trump has asked Congress to provide legislation for the program as part of a broader immigration bill.
A Democratic aide said the three-month offer would allow Congress to avoid defaulting and give an initial round of recovery funding "while allowing Democrats to push their priorities in the upcoming negotiations, particularly the DREAM Act."
The DREAM Act would allow children brought to the United States illegally to continue to live and work freely in the country, similar to DACA.
Schumer and Pelosi added that "both sides have every intention of avoiding default in December and look forward to working together on the many issues before us."
The deal would clear the deck of the three biggest September priorities for GOP leadership amid a packed floor schedule, but it is likely to spark outrage from rank-and-file Republicans.
Conservatives were already balking over a plan to attach a debt ceiling increase to the Harvey recovery bill that cleared the House on Wednesday.
Ryan shot down an offer from Democrats earlier on Wednesday that would link a three-month debt ceiling increase and Harvey aid, accusing the Democrats of trying to "play politics with the debt ceiling."
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), whose state was hit hard by the hurricane, refused to say how he would vote if it was attached to a debt ceiling vote but said, "the best way for that relief package to move quickly is for it to be a clean package."
Ryan also faced opposition within his conference to a long extension of the debt limit.
The deal comes after the House passed a stand-alone Harvey bill in a 419-3 vote on Wednesday. That margin would likely be closer if the debt ceiling and a short-term government funding bill were added to the legislation once it reaches the Senate.
The package would set up a tough vote for many Republicans, who want to back relief for Harvey victims but do not want to vote on legislation that raises the debt ceiling or a funding bill that but does nothing to restrict future government spending.
Republicans are expected to need help from both House and Senate Democrats to get the agreement through Congress. Even if every GOP senator voted for the deal, which is unlikely, leadership will need the support of eight Democratic senators.

This brilliant, uncategorisable novel, is proof if it were needed that indie publishers can kick the mainstream competition's arses, in quality if not in sales. Hats off to Honest Publishing as well as the author.
This feels like the kind of thing James Joyce would've been dabbling in if he were alive today.

10 Things Other Moms Said To Me About Labor & Delivery That Just Weren't True
When telling stories about labor and delivery, my friends seem to fall into two categories: those who experienced the worst pain ever and had horrible experiences (at least until their epidurals), and those who claim to have had serene, pain-free births without any medication. Now, after having given birth three times myself, I think people from both camps told me things about labor and delivery that just weren't true, or maybe their postpartum hormones were to blame with a classic case of elective memory loss.
The thing about labor and delivery is that it's so incredibly personal. Different people want and need different things to make it through, and if you are anything like me, the birth plan you think you wanted goes right out the window. My point is, your mileage may vary, and I hate to break it to you, but each birth experience you have might be drastically different, so you really don't know what might happen. Birth is definitely an adventure.
Personally, I had my share of painful labor and delivery moments. I have two words for you: back labor. It's almost the worst pain I've ever felt, made even worse by the fact that, the first two childbirths, I held out for 16 and 18 hours, respectively, before begging for an epidural, all because I thought I wanted an unmedicated labor. I was surprised to discover that my epidurals were actually pretty freaking empowering. This last time, I got my epidural before anything started, and it was magical. I highly recommend it.
I'm not saying there weren't beautiful moments too, though. After all, meeting my babies for the first time was about as magical as moments get. But I definitely didn't feel any physical pleasure during the experience. So, to my friends who claim to have had "orgasmic births?" Are you sure you didn't hallucinate from the pain?
It Would Feel Cold & Sterile
When I had my first child, most of my friends had home births or delivered at birth centers. According to them, the last place I wanted to give birth was a hospital. It would be a cold, sterile place; a place for sick people. As it turns out, my birthing suites were all very lovely, with soft lighting, kind nurses. and they didn't feel sterile or cold at all.
It Would Go By Fast
My first two labors were 22 and 20 hours, you guys. Both times I waited to get epidurals, believing that a so-called "natural" birth would be wonderful and that an epidural would slow things down. It didn't.
Instead, my epidurals were magical, and things actually progressed faster once I was able to have them. Ironically, the labor when I got my epidural before my induction was the shortest labor I experience, by about a third. Who knew?
I Wouldn't Be Able To Eat
I totally snuck food in during every single one of my deliveries. You guys, labor is hard work. I was hungry, and I needed my strength.
The first time I didn't know I wasn't supposed to eat until the nurse caught me with a granola bar. The second time I had my husband get me a cinnamon roll and latte from the coffee cart. What were they going to do, kick me out?
It Would Be Scary
I honestly wasn't that scared to have my babies. I felt a bit out of control, but because I worked for a large women's health care organization, I was really comfortable in a health care setting and felt like I could ask questions and advocate for myself to get what I needed. It wasn't that scary. At least, not as scary as my first postpartum poop.
I Would Have To Have An Episiotomy
All of my friends warned me that I was going to be threatened with an episiotomy or, worse, have one without my consent. I was so desperate to avoid an episiotomy that I actually had my husband do perineal massage (which is less fun than it sounds) every night for a month before I had my daughter.
When my midwife saw my birth plan, which had in all caps: "NO EPISIOTOMY, PLEASE," she told me that most obstetrics providers don't routinely use episiotomies in labor unless they're absolutely necessary.
Getting An Epidural Would Make Me Feel Weak
I felt like my friends had lied to me about so many things regarding that blessed epidural. I heard that it would hurt, that it wouldn't work, that it would make my labor longer, that it would make me feel weak. Getting an epidural actually made me feel strong and empowered, not weak and out of control. It was just what I needed to rock childbirth.
I Would Have To Push On My Back
Many of my friends completely romanticized "natural" child birth, to the point that, while I can't be certain, I'm pretty sure they made up stories about horrible things that happened to people who got epidurals or birthed in hospitals.
The worst thing ever, apparently, was having to push on my back, which I soon learned was not a thing. I had epidurals with all three of my labors, and I didn't birth any of them on my back. The labor and delivery nurses know what they are doing, and helped me get into positions to safely and easily deliver.
I Would Poop On The Table
I am a bit ashamed to admit how much the thought of pooping in the delivery room scared the proverbial sh*t out of me. Fortunately it didn't happen, but even if it had, the nurses are used to it. It's not a big deal.
I Would Be Forced To Labor A Certain Way
It turns out that despite some subtle shaming from one midwife about getting an epidural, I didn't receive much resistance from anyone or pressure to do labor any differently than I wanted to. Each of my labors was so different, but I was never forced to do something that I didn't want or finally accept that I needed. In fact. people were constantly asking me how I felt and what I wanted and needed. I felt pretty supported.
It Would Be "Orgasmic"
Umm no. I mean, I might believe that childbirth euphoria and endorphins might make people forget the pain, but honestly, I think people who claim to orgasm during birth aren't necessarily telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth. While I don't want to discredit anyone's personal experiences, it just seems, well, farfetched. That's all.
I also think that this kind of myth is harmful, because it make people feel like they fail when they have perfectly normal, painful birth experiences. We've got to stop holding women and other pregnant people up to impossible standards.

About Alisha B.
I have been tutoring for over 8 years now, My teaching philosophy is straightforward: teach your students as you would want to be taught - with enthusiasm, and with a passion for the subject combined with respect and understanding for the student. Chemistry and maths is a subject that I have studied, practiced, taught and enjoyed over the last 8 years Effective teaching involves time, dedication, patience, understanding, firmness, and a sense of humor. True learning incorporates active participation by the student, inside as well as outside the classroom.
Guiding students through the maze of chemical symbols, equations and concepts can only be accomplished by giving the students the means and opportunity to take charge of their own learning reinforced by an appropriate reward system. My main focus is to teach in a way that will reach all my students. I enjoy the challenge of working not only with different learning styles, but very different backgrounds, from honors students to students who have taken the course unsuccessfully before. Chemistry is difficult for most students, therefore they must be able to make mistakes, learn from them, and in the end be rewarded for their efforts and the chemical knowledge they acquired.
For a truly successful learning community, the importance of open two-way communication is emphasized in my class.This only happens if there is mutual respect.
My philosophy inextricably entwines my enthusiasm and passion for the subject of chemistry and maths with my respect and high regard for all students irrespective of their grades. It is particularly rewarding when students become majors or minors because of my class, which happens on occasion, or go on into professional school.

For those interested in benchmarks of the $99+ PineBook ARM Linux laptop, more results continue to be uploaded on OpenBenchmarking.org.
With the Linux 5.4 cycle we saw mainline support beginning to come together for some Qualcomm ARM Linux laptops while with Linux 5.5 another milestone is being achieved. There has been out-of-tree support in the works for getting the various consumer Snapdragon laptops working with Linux while those changes are slowly getting into the mainline kernel.
It's coming one day late due to the last minute entropy/RNG patches to improve the random behavior during boot time (among other late patches), but Linus Torvalds has just tagged Linux 5.4-rc1 as what will be the last major stable kernel release of 2019.
The ARM SoC platform and driver changes landed on Monday during the first full day of the Linux 5.4 merge window. There is some exciting ARM hardware support improvements for this kernel while doing away with some older platforms.
For those excited by the prospects of running Linux on Arm-based laptops, with the upcoming Linux 5.4 kernel will be better mainline support for the Lenovo Yoga C630 laptop.
Pine64 unveiled a Pinebook Pro laptop prototype at FOSDEM 2019 as an update to the original Allwinner A64 powered Pinebook laptop, but instead of just being a toy to play with, Pinebook Pro aimed to be used as a daily driver thanks to a relatively powerful Rockchip RK3399 processor combined with 4GB RAM, and 64/128GB storage, and equipped with a 14″ Full HD display all for a target price of $200.
Pine64 first revealed working on Pinebook Pro Arm Linux laptop at FOSDEM 2019 back at the end of January. The first Pinebook laptop had limited hardware resources, and as such was meant for simple tasks, but Pinebook Pro equipped with Rockchip RK3399 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB to 128GB flash, and a 14″ Full HD display is designed to be used as your main laptop.
In late 2017, Microsoft launched Windows 10 on ARM to let users run its operating system on the ARM processor-powered laptops, especially the ones powered by Snapdragon chips. The company also released a bunch of devices in partnership with OEMs like Asus, HP, and Lenovo, and marketed them as "Always Connected Devices."
In System76's road to manufacturing their own laptops and desktops, the Linux-focused Denver-based company has their eyes on offering ARM-based products.
We've been looking forward to the possibility of having a nice 64-bit ARM Linux laptop with decent power and nice build quality. Several major vendors having been rolling out Windows ARM laptops powered by Qualcomm chips and the like with decent specs and quality, unlike some of the cheap ARM Linux laptop efforts we've seen. For those Windows ARM laptops, headway is being made in being able to run Linux on them.
Pine64 announced the Pinebook laptop in 2016. The ultra cheap ($89 and up) laptop was based on Allwinner A64 quad core Cortex A53 processor coupled with 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and a 11.6″ or 14″ display. It was never meant to be a replacement for your current laptop due to the low end specifications, but you could still use it to tinker with Arm Linux or *BSD, as a lightweight portable terminal, etc…
In the last few years, smartphone hardware has become powerful enough to drive conventional desktop software. A developing trend is to create laptops using hardware initially designed for smartphones and embedded systems.
Earlier this month, the Kubuntu developers have confirmed to us that they won't support new 32-bit installations with the upcoming Kubuntu 18.10 release, and now they made it official.
Olimex has been working on their open source hardware TERES-I DIY laptop since last year. The laptop is supposed to come in kit form, so that you can build it yourself. Every board and most parts are open source to let your easily repair it, or improve it by adapting the part to your own needs.
A few years ago I acquired an HP Chromebook 11, which I talked about in an article on this site at that time. I talked about how I ran Linux software side-by-side with Chrome OS thanks to the likes of Crouton. Since then, the machine has had some basic use, and rather ironically, used as an offline machine, where I would use it for typing purposes mostly, being that the machine has a lovely keyboard and is very battery efficient.
One of Microsoft's Windows 10 expansion plans involves bringing the operating system on ARM chips as part of a project that could hit the shelves later this year, and now it turns out that Apple is also expanding its efforts into this area for future laptops.
Acer Chromebook R13 is the most powered ARM Chromebook so far thanks to its Mediatek MT8173 quad core processor combining two ARM Cortex A72 cores and Cortex A53 cores, as well as a PowerVR GX6250 GPU, 4GB RAM and a 13.3″ touchscreen display.
Following up on Pine A64 board powered by Allwinner A64 quad core Cortex A53 processor, Pine64 has decided to work on a software compatible laptop based on the processor. PINEBOOK comes with 2GB RAM, 16 GB flash storage, a 11.6″ or 14″ display, and the usual ports you'd expect on such device.
While the Tegra X1 is the latest and greatest NVIDIA SoC out there currently, the Tegra K1 is still a beauty and still blows many other ARM boards out of the water. If you happen to have a Tegra K1 Chromebook, it's possible to get Fedora 23 Linux running on there with a bit of hacking.
Olimex Ltd is hoping to make it possible to sell a Do-It-Yourself laptop powered by a 64-bit ARM SoC. Olimex has been working on the OLinuXino OSHW Linux laptop that's an open-source ARM hardware design and would be powered by an Allwinner A64 64-bit SoC.

You seem to have totally misunderstood something which is very simple to understand.loud wrote:Ok, so the PAFC competing in the AFL has 139 years of football heritage, including the last 12 years in the AFL...
And the new PAMFC competing in the SANFL only has a heritage going back to 1997?
It seems that the PAFC (AFL) has obtained an AFL license and taken which bits they want (some players, coaching staff, training grounds, heritage, board, members, supporters etc...) and then given their scraps to the new PAMFC (SANFL).
That is pretty f**ked up...
Is there any ongoing relationship between the two clubs or do they just share clubrooms?
Why did the group pushing for an AFL license think it so important to carry this heritage into the AFL?
If the AFL is the premier competition and SANFL is the second tier competition, why is there a PA club in both leagues?
This set-up has to be one of the most bizarre things I have ever come across in sport... have any other teams around the nation done this?
The Port Adelaide Football Club, founded in 1870, left the SANFL in 1997, and joined the AFL. Still with me?
In the wake of that development, the SANFL demanded that a Port Adelaide side be represented in the State competition, and a second, new team, was established specifically for the SANFL.
Bizarre? Have any other teams done this around the nation?
No, it's not bizzare. They left one competition and joined another.
Carlton, Essendon, Fitzroy(now Brisbane Lions), Geelong, Hawthorn, Melbourne, Saint Kilda.
They are no longer part of the VFL competition, just like Port Adelaide.
And just like they count their state league premierships, so does Port Adelaide.
