What's the job really like?
Embalming students at Weltec work on models - 2.11 mins. (Video courtesy of Radio New Zealand)
So we're actually doing hair restoration; we're just trying to make some eyelashes. So I guess the reason why we're doing this is that it's really important for families to have the best viewing picture that we can get for them, the best memory picture, because that is the last memory of their deceased that they'll see.
Teresa: Tell me what the typical procedure is for preparing the deceased.
Jacqueline: What we first do is sanitisation, so the cleansing of the body, and then we actually commence the preservation of the body, and then we look at the presentation of the body, so creating that memory picture.
Teresa: So what are some of the things that you would do for the cosmetic side of things?
Jacqueline: Getting a photo of the deceased is really important, and talking with the family. You can always put a little bit more make-up on, it's harder to take it off. And the thing is, that you want them to look how the family want them to look – and there are situations when that's not possible. You know, victims of accidents and things, and we'll do the utmost to get the best solution for everybody.
Teresa: And you're new to this industry. So what drew you to it?
Jacqueline: I've always wanted to work in the industry. It's not that easy to get into actually. So I guess what I really love is trying to make a difference for a family. I've had quite a bit of experience of death in my own family, and realised that if it's done right, then your journey – the grief journey – is so much easier. And the fact that you only get one chance at this. It's not that you can redo it. The thing is that families open up their lives to us, at a really vulnerable time for them. And we come in as a stranger most of the time, and I think the lovely part is that we never leave as a stranger.

What are the chances of getting a job?
Poor chances for those looking to get into funeral directing/embalming
If you are starting out, chances of getting a job as a funeral director/embalmer are poor because:
- it is a relatively small occupation
- people tend to stay in the job for a long time, limiting the number of vacancies
- firms usually prefer to take on experienced people, due to the cost of training
- an increasing preference for direct cremation (where a body is taken straight to be cremated, and there may be no formal funeral) means a lower demand for funeral directing/embalming services.
According to the Census, 768 funeral director/embalmers worked in New Zealand in 2018.
Opportunities to get into funeral directing/embalming strongest for those with experience
Your chances of getting funeral directing/embalming work are best if you have relevant experience and qualifications.
Starting as an embalmer in a big firm can help
You can increase your chances of becoming a funeral director by approaching a funeral firm to work as an embalmer. Embalming skills are useful to an employer and the work gives you more chance of learning the other aspects of the role.
Job opportunities for inexperienced staff are better at larger firms, which have more time and money to spend on training.
Types of employers varied
Funeral directors/embalmers can work for:
- large businesses with a number of branches
- small family-run funeral homes.
Some funeral directors run their own businesses.

Progression and specialisations
Funeral directors/embalmers may progress to work in a managerial role at a funeral home. With further experience, they may also establish their own funeral home business.
Funeral directors/embalmers may specialise in either funeral directing or embalming. However, most are trained and qualified in both areas.

Quick Thoughts on Doctor Who, Season 2 Finale
I know we are behind the UK on this one, but the U.S. only aired the season 2 finale of Doctor Who this week with the episodes "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday". Here are my quick thoughts…
It rocked. The story was solid and offered several surprises. In the true spirit space opera there was action out the wazoo. They even managed to combine past storylines. Well done.
What's not to like when you combine the double threat of Cybermen and Daleks? One of them alone would have been enough to fill up a single show. I guess for the two part finale they felt they needed two threats. It worked quite well. Even though I guessed that the Daleks were in the Void ship, I still got tingles on the reveal.
I loved the way they were able to combine past story elements (the past Cybermen and Dalek episodes.) It was a hoot to see Mickey again; I was thought it was too bad when they closed him off in the other Cybermen universe. It was cool that Rose's mom hooked up with the father from the other universe. Rose leaving was a bummer even though it was well publicized. Was the "this is the story of how I died" intro misleading since she didn't? It looks like the Doctor will have to train someone all over again. The bride with the 'tude? Apparently not!
I had missed a couple of episodes this season and my daughter did too. We had a new tradition of Doctor Who Fridays and some of the episodes were a little too scary for her. I watched the finale alone and again with her. She loved it too. When it was over she said "I love Doctor Who!" And the geek baton has officially been passed.
Overall then, it was very, very entertaining in the pulpy, cheap way that only Doctor Who can manage. I very much look forward to season three. I liked the Torchwood aspect of the story and look forward to that spinoff as well.

Courses in the People, Place, and Region Area of Geography encompass political, cultural, social, and economic aspects of social science. "People, Place, and Region" is a field of geography concerned with the relationships between space and society. Encompassing many foci under the heading of human geography, this field analyzes human processes vis-à-vis the physical environment and, in particular, the ways in which people assume, require, refer to, or seek particular geographical relationships.
As a broad area of emphasis, People, Place, and Region draws from other disciplines such as sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, history, urban planning, and the humanities, to name a few. Given this diversity, this area of emphasis utilizes a range of methodological approaches, using qualitative, quantitative, and participatory methods; theoretical and empirical investigations; GIS and other forms of spatial analysis.
Subfields of People, Place, and Region at UC Davis with particularly strength include cultural and historical geography, international development, political and economic geography, planning and urban design, and social geography. These subfields and the interests of associated faculty members, many of whom work in multiple subfields, are described below.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — The Colorado Rapids have a quick turnaround this week with just two practice sessions in the Rocky Mountains before leaving for the East Coast Thursday lunchtime for this weekend's game against New York.
Wednesday's training session was encouraging in terms of recovering personnel, though.
Marvell Wynne had his first session with the team since injuring his hamstring in the 3-0 victory over Houston at the end of last month. The otherwise ever-present defender is likely to make the trip to New York, though head coach Gary Smith said he will be on the phone with his center back first thing Thursday morning to see how the recovery is progressing.
[inline_node:317569]Pablo Mastroeni looked fully recovered from an illness that had left him unwell 24 hours before last weekend's Chivas USA game.
Absentees included backup goalkeeper Ian Joyce, who was celebrating the birth of his daughter earlier this week, and Omar Cummings, who is due to rejoin the team in New York after playing for the Jamaican National Team in a 2-1 loss to Peru in Florida on Tuesday night.
Cummings, this time wearing his yellow boots, scored a belter from 25 yards for Jamaica's only goal.
The Rapids looked sharp in training. The players had an 11-a-side scrimmage Tuesday with guest players making up some of the numbers.
Assistant coach Steve Guppy, back from a whistle stop tour of England to be best man at his brother's wedding, also guested in the scrimmage.
On Wednesday, the squad played a nine-a-side game at the end of the session.
Quincy Amarikwa scored a cracker with a left-footed volley after a typical through-ball over the top of the defense from Claudio Lopez.
[inline_node:311892]Kosuke Kimura, as usual, was one of the last players to leave the field, working on some extra wing play with Guppy alongside Jamie Smith and Danny Earls.
England rugby union star Danny Cipriani has flown back home after a week or so in Colorado. Gary Smith said the rugby international, who has reportedly fallen out with national-team coach Martin Johnson, was just seeing if there were any opportunities to play soccer at the professional level.
His relationship with the team stems from contacts within Tottenham Hotspur that Steve Guppy has. Smith said Cipriani wasn't yet at a level that would challenge back-up forwards such as Amarikwa and Andre Akpan.
Cipriani is due to play rugby in Australia for a club team, a move that Johnson has reportedly said would count him out of the England team for next year's Rugby Union World Cup.
Colorado are still trying to sign French striker Yoann Arquin, but the coaching staff have admitted difficulties in securing a contract with the youngster. They have until Sept. 15 before the transfer window closes.
Smith said his team is relishing the trip to New York for this weekend's game. He knows it will be as difficult as any of the other three road games the team has in Dallas, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
"They're all as difficult as the next for different reasons," he said. "[New York are] the marquee team in the league — extremely talented individuals who have come together as a group this year. If we can get a result, we go level with them.
"We then come home again and put a huge amount of pressure on the teams that are chasing. We are away from home after two good wins and are very confident."
The game kicks off at Red Bull Arena at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 11.

9th September, 2013
A UK-based human rights organisation is calling for the release of a mother of five currently on death row in Pakistan for allegedly blaspheming during an argument over drinking water.
The Global Minorities Alliance (GMA) has launched a worldwide awareness raising campaign to free Aasia (also known as Asia) Bibi, the first woman in Pakistan's history to receive a death sentence under blasphemy laws.
As well as aiming to gather half a million signatures for a petition against the sentence, GMA has also launched a song to raise awareness of her plight at a well-attended event at Wellington Church in Glasgow on Saturday , where noted guests included John Mason, MSP for Shettleston.
The song, called 'Free Aasia Bibi', is a call for her release as well as a message to the world about Pakistan's discriminatory blasphemy laws.
The song, written by GMA's vice-chairperson Shahid Khan, composed and produced by musician Sam Gallagher and performed by the GMA Band, is a call for solidarity to demonstrate how people across the world are standing with her as the third anniversary of her death sentence approaches.
"The song is the expression of the inner most feelings of concerned people across the world who share in the pain and sufferings of Aasia, along with her family who is currently in hiding in Pakistan due to the threats and fears from the extremists," said Mr Khan.
"We continue to stand with the persecuted that are subject to violations, oppression and tyranny. Music is our way and message to the world to treat other human beings with love, honor and dignity regardless of anything else."
In June 2009, Aasia Bibi, a Christian farm hand and mother of five from the small village of Ittianwali in Sheikhupura District of Punjab, Pakistan, had a heated argument with her fellow labourers over a seemingly trivial matter of drinking water from the same glass as them. Bibi was then accused of using derogatory words about the prophet Mohammed and was subsequently arrested.
According to some reports she had a noose put around her neck and was dragged through the streets by the village men before taken into police custody where a First Investigation Report (FIR) was lodged which cited Section 295-C of Pakistan's blasphemy laws for her arrest:
"Whoever by words, either spoken or written or by visible representation, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine."
Following pressure from influential Muslims in the area, she was convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to death in November 2010.
Later Bibi applied for clemency under Article 45 of the Constitution of Pakistan, which allows the President of Pakistan to pardon any sentence passed by any court, tribunal or authority. Bibi's case is currently pending an appeal at Lahore High Court, and despite of the international outcry against the misuse of Pakistan's blasphemy laws and countless pleas from human rights organisations, religious leaders and politicians across the world, she is still kept in solitary confinement in Multan women's prison.
She was moved there from Shiekhupura jail amid security issues following prison breaks by militants in North West Pakistan; however, there are still fears for her safety as other blasphemy convicts have died by having their food poisoned during their incarceration.
"We are extremely concerned about the safety of Aasia Bibi in light of the prison breaks in Pakistan and the threats from militants who want to take away her life," said Mr Manassi Bernard, GMA's chief executive.
"She is facing threats not only from the outside but also from within prison, which is making us more concerned about her safety," he added.
GMA has recently launched an online petition and is aiming to gather 500,000 signatures demanding the release of Bibi. The petition will later be presented to Pakistan Consulate in Glasgow, both to further Aasia's cause and to urge the Pakistan Government to stop the widespread misuse of Pakistan blasphemy laws.
GMA has vowed to work against persecution, such as the kind Aasia Bibi is currently facing, by working through national and international ambassadors in countries of concern such as Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria, Iran and Indonesia where members of minorities are made prisoners of persecution by harassment, imprisonment or killing.
GMA is also advocating for Rohingya Muslims and Iranian Baha'is, and is currently planning parliamentary sessions, both in Holyrood and Westminster. GMA has also recently visited Berlin to speak to German parliamentarians about human rights violations the world over, and also holds awareness-raising sessions in the UK to advocate for persecuted communities.
"Our message to the world is of hope and love. There is enough pain, death and suffering in our world and we continue to spread our message of love and light to the far corners of the world through the work of the Global Minorities Alliance, be that through our peace education project or becoming a voice for the persecuted communities around the world," said Mr Khan.
You can sign and share the petition by clicking going to www.globalminorities.co.uk/FreeAasia.

The Montauketts Native American tribe lived on the island of Montauk approximately 400 years ago. This peaceful tribe of hunters, fishermen, and farmers mark the beginning of Montauk's rich history—a history that attracted New York holistic dentist Dr. Lewis Gross to the island while writing his novel Montauk Dental.
17th Century Montauk
The first white settler to arrive on the island of Montauk was Dutch explorer Adrian Block, but the first permanent resident of Montauk—land granted by King Charles I—was Lord Gardiner, who moved from Connecticut in 1639. Lord Gardiner developed a pleasant relationship with the Montauk Indians and often enjoyed the company and assistance of Chief Wyandach.
18th Century Montauk
To bring 17th century Montauk—which was organized by ranchers raising livestock along the Montauk peninsula—into the 18th century, President George Washington authorized the construction of the Montauk Lighthouse in 1972. Housing started popping up all over the peninsula during this time, and, to this day, the lighthouse is Montauk's most recognizable and famous structure.
19th Century Montauk
In 1839, slaves who had seized the Spanish Amistad arrived in Montauk, but were quickly recaptured by authorities and then freed in a very publicized trial. In 1879, Arthur Benson bought the entire peninsula of Montauk for the price of $151,000, and his legacy remains in the Stanford White houses, which were built in 1882. In 1895, Austin Corbin brought the railroad from Sag Harbor to Montauk and attempted to make Montauk the port of entry to the United States.
20th Century Montauk
Miami Beach developer Carl Fisher made an attempt to make Montauk the "Miami Beach of the North" by building golf courses, the Manor, indoor tennis courts, The Surf Club, the Yacht Club, and the casino on Star Island, but his dream was put on hold when the Great Depression struck. After being flooded by the great hurricane of 1838, Montauk served as an army base during much of WWII. In the early 1960s, Montauk regained its reputation as a popular vacation and resort town.
With such a rich and interesting history, it's no surprise that Dr. Lewis Gross was inspired by Montauk. To find out more about Montauk Tango, visit montauktango.com.

I first met Gina Bonati in the summer of 2014 in New York. I visited her in her longtime home of the East Village. I was in the city for several dance commitments, and Gina was a dancer. We connected instantly and have since kept in touch.
She recently visited me on my family's hundred-year-old fruit farm before she headed off to Oakland California to begin her second MFA from Mills College (this time, in experimental vocal music). A Juilliard graduate who has lived in New York for over thirty years, Bonati is an inspiration for both her incredible artistic talents and her ability to persevere. It was very kind of her to allow me to interview her over several evenings.
When was the first time you danced?
All children dance so when I was a girl I danced, like all children do. But there is a particular memory I have, when I realized its importance to me.
When I turned nine, my parents — who had been separated — reunited. My father was playing in the pit at Harrah's, in Tahoe. He played alto sax and surprised me with a visit to where he worked. I had been in a foster home for a year, and I knew it was my birthday, but I didn't connect it to any kind of reward, so this birthday really sticks out to me for that reason, too.
He was in the pit and started to riff with the orchestra and play an improvised happy birthday. I immediately recognized it and at the same moment, this bunny was rounding the corner with a birthday cake all in flames. "Look mom," I said, "It's somebody's birthday." And then it clicked: "It's MY birthday!
It was a German chocolate cake, which then was my favorite cake in the world forever. Before the show started, I got to go behind stage. The backstage just totally seduced me. Each floor had showgirls and they had huge headdresses filled with rhinestones and color. To me, a life of backstage meant all of this trapped beauty, encased in cement in glass — not like nature.
And then the show started and everyone was nice to me. And the show was one of these cornball shows with show dancers but the thing about this one had this modern dance company doing this narrative drama and there were two young people who were struggling to come apart and come together. I remember the pull and magnetic nature of that. It was dramatic, not just showy, or sexy like what the showgirls did.
And later when we got home my brother and I made a whole dance theatre piece in my parents' room and I just thought it was really special. I don't remember saying, that's what I'm going to do when I grow up. But years later, that's exactly what I did.
As a young child in San Francisco, I started dancing in the park with the African dancers and doing street theatre and performance. And that kept building. And in high school I was in the dance club and then I got scholarships. It was the Carter Administration and there was more money for inner city kids to be given opportunities so about eight of us from high schools all over the place received free ballet and modern class. The studio was right in the Mission where I lived, so it was easy to get to.
I was supposed to go to Mills College for dance when I was seventeen. I was accepted and given scholastic awards and talent awards, however, my mother didn't pay the $100 deposit for me to be enrolled, so I lost all of my scholarships. At that time, my mom had gotten involved with Synanon, this ridiculous cult. My mother was trouble, and my brother and I became a part of Synanon, too.
When I turned eighteen, the cult just turned into the Devil's playground. The cult was insisting on things from me and harassing me. They shaved my head, they forced me to do hard labor, I was being told I didn't deserve nice things and I believed it. I think having my head shaved caused me to go into shock. My dance teacher couldn't handle my shaved head and threw me out the school. And then it got worse and worse and worse.
I got sent to the middle of nowhere California, then I had a boyfriend in the cult and I forgot all about dancing. And every once and awhile I would dance for someone's wedding or teach the kids ballet but the head cult members kept telling me I was obligated to be valuable and dance wasn't valuable. I started to believe that dancing was for when I was young and not a career. It was bad like this for four and a half years.
What changed everything for me was the Jonestown massacre, which was a relative cult of Synanon. I was about twenty or twenty-one when that happened. At the time, Chuck Dietrich, the founder of Synanon, was spewing similar rhetoric. It was so scary and depressing but it made me realize I was in danger. Also by this time, I had gotten very ill. I was in and out of the hospital. I weighed eighty-five pounds I could not keep weight on. I had no appetite and there was nothing to eat anyway. I was so ill, Synanon left me alone for a period of time because any labor I tried to do would land me back in the hospital.
By this time they had moved me to one of their sites in upstate New York. My cousin Tia, who lived in NYC, visited me. I remember it being such an amazing thing that she made the drive to Kingston, where I was living. It allowed me to start recovering memory. I started doing tiny amounts of yoga. I was determined it was going to work and then it started working. I convinced Synanon to give me a car and I would use it to go take an adult ballet bar class. I kept doing it and I got a little stronger and I put on weight, and I could walk around again. And once I was able to work more, they sent me back to California.
At the time I had a Synanon marriage with a boy I had grown up with. About two years into our marriage, the founder declared that all marriages were invalid. It was devastating. The leader made everyone make lists of whom the other marriage partner could be remarried to. The man I got matched with, he was a very angry person, and he hurt me physically. I was terribly unhappy he didn't know what to do. One night he grabbed me and I had a welt across my neck. This served as public acknowledgement that things weren't going well, so they sent us both as a couple so we could be watched by the elders.
One day he threatened me and I decided I wanted to divorce him — a Synanon divorce. Inevitably, we separated. Breaking up with my husband, which was a symbol for independence, [the elders] weren't happy with. These awful men– they made me have a verbal haircut, where they get in your face and shatter you and make you feel awful. They did that quite a bit. But they hadn't realized I had gotten a lot better. Being physically ill gave me time to rest. I soon got in touch with my old dance teacher and she was happy as hell I was back. Pretty soon they caught on and decided I needed to be put back in their control.
I got called into a meeting with the facility manager in a glass bowl office. I go to talk to him and outside his office is a broken chair made completely out of barn wood. I go into his office and I say, "What's with that chair?" He's throwing it away and says I can have it. He starts telling me he's been told by higher-ups that I'm going to move back upstate to Marin County to do a new job. And I say, "I think I'm okay where I am, thank you." And he says, "I knew this wasn't going to go well." I say, "I know, but I'm not going to say yes to this."
I say, "Is it okay if I still keep the chair?" He says yes.
I walk out and take the chair. I walk down the hall from one part of the building, and as I'm leaving, he gets on the phone to tell his bosses. This disgusting human being, Sydney, who I worked for, sent his secretary to bring me back in so he could talk to me. I brought the chair in with me. I go into the office and I start to sit down, and he stands up behind his desk and starts bellowing at me. I go to stand up and he says, "Sit the fuck down when I'm talking to you." I started to sit down, but then I stood up again.
He kept yelling at me but I had my chair and I held it close to my body. And I said, "Sydney, you are never, ever, ever again speaking to me this way." And I walked down the hall and left.
My acting teacher from high school came and got me on October 31, 1979 … this after various punishments that included having to sleep in weird places, like on benches. I very quickly got my journals into boxes and left late on Halloween night and moved into his teenage daughter's walk-in closet for about two weeks. I was so scared of everything. I was undernourished and I had a lot of health problems, a lot of nervous system damage.
That's when I met Aaron Osborne. I started taking class with him every day.
I was auditioning for dance companies in San Francisco but I had lost a lot of time, strength, technique, and awareness; I was flailing around. I decided I had been deprived of college and so I started applying for different schools. I applied and Juilliard was willing to look at me, so I got on one of those weird planes, a courier where you get to ride for free if you deliver papers. I auditioned and got accepted right away.
What was being a student at Juilliard like for you?
It was amazing and I was starving to death. I didn't own a coat, I didn't have shoes; I was from San Francisco!
At Juilliard I did the usual things one does at Juilliard, ballet, Paul Taylor rep, etc. But when I graduated, I could not get a job dancing in a company. In need of money, I decided to take a job as a go-go dancer. Dancing at the Baby Doll Lounge in Tribeca was my first professional dancing job.
At first I was still taking dance classes, but eventually, I stopped. There was something about working at the Baby Doll that made everything else go away. I was living this edgy life of being a sex symbol. I had never been that. The first time I ever go-go danced I arrived in shorts and a T-shirt. I wasn't doing what I should be doing so I had a lot of shame. I wasn't comfortable with making money so I was giving it away. I was emotionally fried, though I wasn't using drugs or anything. I had never been beautiful and I was really enjoying it. I was enjoying being a stark raving beauty. I started modeling, and acting.
Eventually, I quit the Baby Doll. It just was untenable after a while and I had to get back to my work. That's when I had this dream. In my dream I had my long brown hair and I was dancing. I decided I wasn't going to be a celebrity; I was going to be a dancer and go back to ballet class.
I was accepted into Jane Comfort's company, and I was the poster girl for her season, which made a couple of her company members very jealous. I was very unhappy and eventually, I had to resign. I was being bullied terribly.
Chris Komar and I had a good connection and I asked him if I could take a company class with Merce. He said yes, and soon after, I was on scholarship and learning Merce's rep alongside company members. But I had to find a way to make a living. I started acting again but this time, I was acting in the theatre, which didn't need me to have a nose job, blonde hair, or any of the rest of it. And then I moved into my current place.
Eventually, I started making my own work. I made a piece in '87 in a beautiful church. The piece had a lot of go-go dancing imagery in it and a man drawing the whole time; it was a group piece. I talked some people from Billy's Topless into being in it. It was called "Untitles" and had lots of angst and language.
Then I made this amazing solo on my roof, "Bird #1." I started making pieces titled Bird #1, #2, #3 … and it was the beginning of me working with paper. I make these things with huge pieces of paper and allow it to manipulate me or me to manipulate it. The impetus for this work is that for a long time, I was an artist's model, and I was hearing paper all the time.
As a model you're in the middle of this thing with all this sound. These ocean sounds of charcoal on paper amplified are really beautiful, not to mention the experience visually becoming form and maintaining its flatness simultaneously that somehow with just burnt wood on more wood, you end up with something remarkable. It's repetition, coordination, and all those things, and so it's magical. To be a dancer, and an actress, and a poet inside of it is amazing.
I showed something at Merce on Bethune Street called "Emergence Sea" about somebody building a house out of garbage bags, supported with a score that was all language and me dancing. Then I made another piece called "The Sea Without" about the ocean, my cat, and my brother, all living underneath the ocean.
Why use paper, besides the obvious connection to your work as an artist's model?
I love the sensuality of paper and I've always been a hider; I love the experience of disappearing. I'm not terribly comfortable being seen for long bits of time, so being on stage with these massive bits of paper allows me to play with being seen and disappearing. I also love the dynamic of sound and I play with that a lot. You know, if I hold still, the silence reverberates, and I can play and hold while the sound continues.
I think there are other people who are visual artists that make performance with paper but I'm actually making the paper experience a kind of movement that is more like dance. The paper has what dance has in music, and it's movement.
I'm not interested in a steady thing; I like the natural, the way an ocean is music, the way a storm is music, that kind of music, the sound of something that allows you to kind of follow a pattern before it changes and say, oh! now it's this instead.
It's not chance, it's not circumstance; it's indeterminacy. That's what Merce used to say.
What's next?
I have an MFA in dance from Mills to add to my undergraduate from Juilliard in dance, and I'm in love with ballet. I do a lot of experimental theatre, experimental voice, and improvisational music. This to me says OPERA!
I keep saying I'm making dance operas or installation operas. That's what I'll be doing these next few years while I earn my MFA in music with an improvisational voice emphasis: making sketches for the stage. I'll be presenting them over the next couple of years in California and NYC.
What themes or ideas do you keep returning to in your artwork?
I'm curious about the difference between art forms — poetry, opera, dance, etc. I'm also curious about the human body, its gesture and expressions: the arm reaches out and something happens. Kenneth King used to say that when you do a port de bra, the edge of your pinky nail makes a line and it continues out of the room and into the sky, and finally, it touches the edge of a star.
There's a problem with being a dancer in society, and I love that problem. I love problems. I find ballet seems to be removed from the grit of life, however, that dancer also has to make a living, which is a gritty thing. The go-go dancer and the ballerina: that's the same dancer.
Some people don't think of it as dilemma. But without a problem, there is no good art. If you don't have a problem, you have to put yourself in a predicament. I am always looking for the problem.
Not solving it, just finding it?
I think that what I'm doing is cornering myself and then working inside of the predicament. I'm not trying to resolve a question; I'm trying to find the worst part of it. I'm looking for all of the crevices and edges of what it is and then looking for an image that can be revealed out of it. The essence of it: image and action. If I have the answer, well that is propaganda and I'm not interested in that. There is no answer, there are just a lot problems. If you think you've found the answer, all you've done is paint a lot of white over the problem.

A VPN (virtual private network) is actually nothing more than a virtual Ethernet cable. Using a VPN enhances network security by allowing remote users to connect via an encrypted "tunnel" while keeping ports on the firewall closed and secure. Any VPN product should yield similar results weather using a hardware solution such as a VPN Concentrator or a software based solution. To demonstrate how this works we will use the free "LogMeIn" client software from Hamachi as an example. This software can be found here:
1. Agree to the "Conditions of Use" and download the "Unmanaged" software package.
2. Install this software on the server and on the machine you will be using at the remote location.
3. Configure the Network/Create a New Network/Create a New Client Owned Network settings with a network name and password (You can use the respective machine names).
4. Check that you have connectivity between the two clients.
5. If you want to run the server side application as a service you can right click on the file "hamachi-2-ui.exe" located in the "C:\Program Files\LogMeIn Hamachi\" directory (default). Select "Install as a Service Mill Service" (see next blog topic for details).
6. Reboot the server.
7. From an outside network (remote office, coffee shop, etc.) run the Hamachi application.
8. Once a connection is established you should have access to your FF Inventory Database as well as any other shared folders you have access to locally on the server.

Many of our readers, friends, and contacts across the imaging field have heard about the CMS reimbursement cuts to film processing that will come into effect in 2017. As a result, we've been flooded with requests from people looking to update their equipment stables ahead of the cuts. Many of them are sensing an even deeper turn in the direction of digital imaging and are inquiring after the ongoing viability of CR processing as a solution.
What many people haven't heard is that the same legislation cutting reimbursements to film (The Consolidated Appropriations Act) will also cut reimbursements to CR processing in 2018 and again in 2023. In light of this additional wave of cuts, we want to share with you exactly what the law says will happen to CR reimbursements as well as how you can calculate your facility's position and form an upgrade plan.
What the Law Says
Section 502 of The Consolidated Appropriations Act initiates the reduction of reimbursement of CR. The condensed version of this passage, without all the parenthetical statements, says this:
"In the case of an imaging service … that is an X-ray taken using computed radiography technology… during 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022, the payment amount for the technical component of such service … shall be reduced by 7 percent; and … during 2023 or a subsequent year, the payment amount … shall be reduced by 10 percent."
Based on what we're seeing here, it looks like 2018 will kick off a war of attrition between CMS and CR, one which CR is all but guaranteed to lose.
How to Calculate Your Response
If you're currently processing on film, your best response to The Consolidated Appropriations Act, is to update with fully digital equipment as soon as possible and skip over CR processing entirely.
If you already have a CR system, these two steps will help you figure out if you should take action in the very near future to upgrade to a DR solution or if you can defer the investment for a few more years.
1. Evaluate your current cost of ownership with these considerations:
• Do you still owe on your CR reader? What are your remaining lease payments?
• How much did you spend on maintenance last year?
• What condition are your cassettes in? Any that are damaged will cost $1,500 each to replace.
12 more payments + annual maintenance + ($1,500 x number of damaged cassettes)
The equation above will give you a rough estimate of what you can expect to spend on your CR reader in the next year. Next, we'll see how that cost lines up with the revenue you can expect it to generate.
2. Evaluate your X-ray revenue stream:
• What are the 5-10 exam types you process via CR most often?
• What is your average monthly volume for these exams?
• What has been your average reimbursement for these exams in the last six months?
(Exam volume x average reimbursement) x 12
Repeat this equation for each of your most common exams, then add the totals for a rough estimate of the revenue your CR reader will generate in 2017. Now, subtract seven percent from that total for an estimate of how the reimbursement changes will affect your revenue in 2018.
Your Options
Once you have an idea of the cost of ownership and revenue stream of your CR reader, your choices will be to act now or ride out the system and defer an upgrade.
Act Now
If your cost of ownership is low and your revenue stream is relatively high, consider acting now on a DR panel upgrade. The high revenue will allow for a quicker pay-off of the new capital equipment purchase and the ongoing cost of ownership will drop significantly due to the elimination of cassettes and the minimal maintenance that panels require. Your new DR panel will also come with a manufacturer's warranty. On top of that, the price of drop protection for wireless and tethered panels has been declining over the past few years.
You should also consider the final disposition of your CR. Trade-in value on CR readers will drop as 2018 approaches. Falling domestic demand for CR readers will impact the price on the secondary market. Without an international outlet for sales it may be difficult for you to find a buyer for your used CR.
Ride It Out
If your cost of ownership and your revenue stream are both low, you may consider riding out your current CR until it "dies of natural causes." At low patient volumes, a seven percent reduction in revenue may not justify the cost of upgrading. Additionally, DR panel prices have fallen over the last few years and riding out your CR may result in slightly lower DR prices when you are eventually ready to upgrade.
The Takeaway
The Consolidated Appropriations Act is certainly putting on the pressure to take the U.S. X-ray equipment base digital sooner rather than later but, before you make a call on your upgrade strategy, be sure you're calculating all the costs – not just the sticker price on a DR panel.
In any case, whether you act now or ride it out with your current CR, the DR panel market will be ready to offer you all the benefits of digital imaging at prices far more manageable than replacing your entire X-ray room with a factory-born digital system.

beehive simulation
Hey java maties
(srry if my english is bad, but it's not my motherlanguage)
I need a program that simulates the life in a beehive. I have a few problems with it:
The user can give in a certain amount of queens, worker bees and drones (and this results in a certain amount of bees).
A worker bee can have a certain amount of soft nectar (2 food units) or unsoft nectar (1 food unit) (the user gives the amounts...)
The beehive is just a matrix, length and width also given by the user. We may use a class named ActionChooser. 1 method in that class is called:
public int chooseAction(boolean[] barray). '
Barray' is an array with a length of 16 (actions) which can be resolved (true) of not resolved (false). The method chooseAction gives, as a result, the number of an action (and -1 if no action can be resolved).
Actions 4,5,6,7,8 and 9 are always false (don't bother).
action 0: a bee of the total amount of bees goes northward. In this program a bee doesn't die or can leave the beehive (= the matrix). So, there are a few conditions (f.e. a bee is on the northern side of teh matrix, the bee cannot go northward AND if in the section above the bee, the max. amount of bees(given by the user) has reached, the bee cannot go northward either)
action 1: go westward (same conditions)
action 2: southward (idem)
action 3: eastward (idem)
action 10: when 1 bee (of the total number of bees) is in the underrightcorner, that bee disappears. However a queen cannot disappear AND a worker bee that still has an amount of food units cannot disappear as well...
action 11: a worker bee can drop 1 food unit (soft or unsoft nectar, doesn't mather which of the 2). However, if the max. amount of food units in that section has reached (again given by the user), the action cannot be resolved...
Don't bother the other actions...
I need a program that simulates the life in a beehive.
I have a few problems with it:
The user can give in a certain amount of queens, worker bees and drones (and this results in a certain amount of bees). ...
Much luck and welcome to the forum!

I actually don't know how to let a random bee move. The conditions are no problem. I thought of using 'setters' and putting the drones, queens and worker bees in an array, bu that's it.
You' ve got the beehive[i][j] and if want to let a random bee go northward, you have to 'set' that bee in the section beehive[i][j+1]. But you can't just say "bee[k] = beehive[i][j+1]" That is impossible. So I need avice about how to use the number of bees, queens, drones etc. and which method I need for getting a bee in a different section (1 is enough; if I see the method I will understand how to let a bee go eastward, westward etc...)

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is protesting a proposal by the US Copyright Office that may temporarily require online forms to be submitted using only Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser or Netscape browsers.
"The proposed system would be contrary to at least the spirit of federal information policy adopted by the E-Government Act of 2002," said W3C Director Tim Berners-Lee and Daniel Weitzner, who is technology and society domain leader at W3C, in a letter to the office.
The proposal pertains to preregistration of copyright claims filed with the copyright agency.
Support for Netscape 7.2, Firefox 1.0.3 and Mozilla 1.7.7 is planned by the office, but initial support may be limited to Internet Explorer and Netscape, according to Julia Huff, the Copyright Office's chief operating officer.
"The Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005 required us to create a preregistration system for certain works, and we have to have that system up and running by Oct 24," Huff said. "The system that we're building is being built with commercially available off-the-shelf software from Siebel Systems, and the manufacturer has already tested the software with IE and Netscape and it worked well with those browsers. It may work well with other browsers, but they haven't tested those yet with the version of the Siebel software we're using right now."
Huff said the Copyright Office next year plans to switch to a newer version of Siebel software that supports a newer version of Netscape and as well as FireFox and Mozilla.
"And we are actually already doing some preliminary testing with [Apple Computer's] Safari Web browser, and it works with one exception," she said. "With a little configuration, we may be able to use other browsers [now], but we cannot promise that. We may have to move ahead just using IE and Netscape, because we're not making the transition to a newer version of Siebel until we're further along with our development of our overall registration system, which we will roll out in early 2007."
Huff said her office wanted to make its system available to as many people using as many browsers as practical, but right now, it is under a tight time constraint. "The reason we went out with the supplemental inquiry was to see if it was necessary to create a paper-based application as well -- something we didn't want to do," Huff said.
While stressing that the W3C is not criticising Internet Explorer, the W3C officials said the office would be placing limitations on users of the Mac OS, Linux and Unix, who may have incompatible browsers. Cell phone and PDA users and persons with disabilities also may be affected, Berners-Lee said.
"From a practical perspective, the single-vendor restriction will deny preregistration benefits entirely to broad classes of creators of covered copyrighted works," the W3C officials said.
The W3C also stressed that the Web "was born and achieved widespread use only because of a commitment to open, vendor-neutral standards."
The Copyright Office sought comments on its plans through Monday. Additional public comments in response to what has already been submitted are due by September 7. Information for submitting comments is available online.

Rising Star Pastry Chef Bill Corbett of Absinthe Brasserie & Bar - Biography
San Francisco, CA
2007 New York Rising Star Pastry Chef Bill Corbett started out dishwashing in the canteens of his native Waterloo, Canada, broke into the New York pastry scene when a friend gave him Lincoln Carson's business card, and went on to work with key players in the world of American avant-garde.
In 1999, after spending several years kitchen hopping, Corbett traded Canada for Florida, working as a kitchen manager at a local café. Corbett came to New York in 2002, working the line at a small Brooklyn eatery before claiming a post under Lincoln Carson at B.R. Guest. Under Carson, Corbett developed a sense for classic pastry technique and left with a serious technical foundation that allowed him to push into new terrain.
Carson introduced him to then wd-50 pastry chef Sam Mason, who hired Corbett as his pastry sous and taught him about integrating sweet and savory and breaking the rules – intelligently. The next step was the executive pastry chef post at Dona; when Dona closed in January 2007, Corbett relocated to Anthos, a Greek-inspired project by Michael Psilakis and Donatella Arpaia. At Anthos, Bill (who has no Greek background) had the interesting task of creating a modern Greek dessert menu. His creations came from intensive research and were inspired by everything from classic Greek street food like loukoumades to the entire flavor profile spectrum of sesame in different raw and processed forms.
In August 2007 Corbett re-located to San Francisco, California to take the pastry chef position at Michael Mina He is currently the Pastry Chef at Absinthe Brasserie & Bar.

Transcript from the Bloom plugin, Divi Tutorial for WordPress
Hey everybody, this is Jimi Blevins.
Today I'm going to show you how to create a "Locked Content" opt-in form using the Bloom Optin Plug-In made by Elegant Themes.
What you want to use this particular opt-in for is, let's say that you had a blog post or something for download: like downloaded video, download an image or PDF and you wanted to ask people for an email address before you gave him access to that download link. This plugin is a great way to do that.
Let's go ahead and start here: I'm in the "Bloom Options" in our WordPress Dashboard. We just start off by clicking on "New Optin." I'm going to click on "Locked Content," and then once that comes up, we just want to put a name in, and this is for your reference. I'm going to call this, "Locked Content Form" and then you go ahead and set up your "Email Provider Settings."
If you look back a couple tutorials, I walk you through how to connect this with Mailchimp and get the account all set up and pulling your lists. Right now we're just picking our email provider, the account, and the list we want to put people on. That's all we need to do on that page.
The next is going to be the design. We want something that's going to catch the eye, but we want something that's pretty simple, and all we're asking for is an email address. You can use these as either finished products or just starting points. (I won't go too much into details on how to customize everything, I take care of that in another one of these tutorials for the Optin Plugin, so check them all out.) You kind of get the full picture of what this is, but I'll just go through this really quick.
We want to make this one a little more tailored so, "Subscribe To Our Page To Download This Video." I'm going to add this to a page I've got a video on already. "Join Our Mailing List To Receive The Latest News And Updates on Our Team," so this up here is like the main header image or the main title, and this is kind of our message a little bit more information. At any time if you want to look at how this is going to appear on the page, you can click here on this preview button. That will pop up your email subscribe to form.
Here we've got our "Image Settings. "You can upload your own image and you can also change the orientation: if you want to the left, or the right of the text, if you want it on top, and then we can even have an animation for when the image pops in and of course we can hide it on mobile devices if we want to create some space.
Now we've got our styling for kind of the top of the form: we've got a background color, font, pick a text color, choose whether or not you want to round your corners. Then the form setup, we've got, "Form On Bottom," because the email field and the button are there on the bottom of the form, we can move that to the right or to the left if we want to. We can also add a field for the name, or two fields one for the first name and one for the last name. and then, of course, we've got our email text. This field here is for the email form, so we can put in "Email Address" if we want to be a little more descriptive.
Then this is the text that goes on the button, "Subscribe" is what we've got now. I'll pull up the preview really quick to show you kind of the options we went through. So here was the background color, the first one we came into, then you can choose the color of the text, you can choose the images here, or here, or maybe on the top, and then here's where we put email and then the text on the button. I want to change that "Download Video," little more of a call-to-action.
The form styling, you can do your inline form fields, we can stack them on top of each other, you know if they were to the right or to the left you want to stack. We can even round the corners, change the text color, and then, of course, we've also got the background color for the form and then the color for the button, then our button text color as well. These edge styles: you can do straight, or a little bit of a dip, I'll pick that one just to show you really quick. This is that line between the kind of description of the form, and the form itself. So we've got like this little triangle in there, or you can do you like a big thing or kind of swoop, this one looks like a picket fence. Those are just some little added things you can throw into the form.
Here we have the footer text. This is if you want to put something underneath that email field, maybe a little additional information (we don't need to do that now) and a success text message. This is actually the text will pop up once the form is shown. So let's put, "You've Successfully Subscribed, Now Download Your Video."
If you want to do some custom CSS, we put it right here. That's if you want to even go further outside of the options that are given here in the form. So right now what we need to do is, that's the final step in actually designing the form, so if we click here on, "Generate Shortcode" this is going to give us the shortcode for that opt-in.
We just copy that to our clipboard really quick and hit OK, then let's save this. This will pop us out into the list of the different opt-in forms that we've got.
Now that the page is up, you can see this is the locked content form we just made, and this button right here, if we click on it, it will pop up that little shortcode option again. You don't have to go back into the form, you can grab it right there.
I'm actually going to put a link, say somebody wants to download the video, I'm going to put a button down here so they can download it. I'll walk you through that really quick.
I come in here to my "Edit Page," and then I want to insert a text module put our shortcode in. Now you can do this one of two ways: first I'll show you the code way to do it, and then I'll show you the other way. So we can come in here, we're in our "Text Editor." We've got it set to the text, kind of the code option of the text editor built into Divi. So we paste that in and then you can see it's got two sections.
You've got your first bracket here, which shows which opt-in form it's going to grab, and then kind of the closing bracket. This content that's in the middle here, this is what you're actually locking people out of, so once they fill out the form they're going to have access to whatever I put in between those two brackets. So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to put a "Download" link.
I'm actually not going to have the link go to anything, we don't need it to right now. Just a really simple link. So we've got our form, we've got our content, and I'm going to say "Update Page." Then we'll pop over to the page we've got, that we made the change to and I'll show you guys. Now here we are, "Subscribe To Our Newsletter, Download This Video," that's all in there. This can be a button, you can get more extravagant with this if you'd like, I just wanted to show you a really simple example.
The other way that you can do this, which is a little bit of an easier route instead of going with the code. I'm just going to grab this text actually, delete everything that's in there.
I click over here on "Visual," and now in the Visual Settings, I can come here to "Insert Form," "Locked Content," "Locked Content Form," and see it looks familiar. It drops my shortcode right in there for me. Then in here, I can paste my text, the "Download Video" text, you turn that into a link. Right now I'm just using the hashtag just to make all of our life simple. Now that we've got that done we can just hit "Save" and "Exit." Then update the page.
That's how you do it. That's how you add a simple form in there to grab somebody's email address before you allow them to access and content on your website. I hope you found that helpful.
Once again my name is Jimi Blevins and thank you for watching.

Beyond FUNDRAISING: Helping an Indie Press Publisher-Poet in Need
Journalist, videographer, novelist, essayist, poet, and illustrator Nick Belardes is a busy guy with a big heart whose work has been published to wide acclaim online (including on Twitter, where he published the first literary Twitter novel) and in print.I met Nick at a Writing Away Retreat in Breckenridge last month. When he read at a retreat reading, I thought immediately of the early short stories of Junot Díaz and the fantastic works in the Latinos in Lotusland anthology edited by La Bloga blogger (and fiction writer and attorney) Daniel Olivas. Nick's characters are colorful and authentic, their language infused with the complexities of his Latino heritage.
Nick's first book of poetry, Songs of the Glue Machines, is due to be published by California-based Lummox Press in 2013. In the proud tradition of Philip Levine, Nick's collection spotlights and honors the working class. His focus: industrial workers in Central Valley factories in California.
Nick is trying to raise funds to help Lummox Press founder and long-time poet RD Armstrong not only cover the publishing costs of Songs of the Glue Machines, but also simply make ends meet. RD struggles with health issues that have plagued him for some time.
"If enough money is raised, we will help him buy a used car," Nick says. "And if not a car, then something as simple as paying a month's rent. People need to understand how much RD sacrifices to publish poets like myself. I'm always trying to do something to help the literary community and can't think of a better cause."
Help Nick raise the remaining eighty percent of his $2,500 goal for RD and Lummox Press via his ChipIn.org page. Every little bit helps.
¡Buena suerte, Nick!
