Each story is organized in pages with a picture, video and text. The pages can have a sound clip attached or text-to-speech interpretation. The pictures and sounds can be selected from device albums or recorded instantly. A draw and handwriting pad is available for Samsung Galaxy / Note S Pen. The stories can be added and edited with an easy to use wizard. Fun effects can be added with the integrated Aviary photo editor. The stories can be saved as PDF and e-mailed. The entire story can also be shared by email with other Show And Tell users.
The application is particularly useful for teachers, therapists and parents. It allows for quick creation of personalized sequenced stories, with the possibility of introducing own phots, video, text and audio recording. The application is best suited for young children or children with reduced speech clarity, learning disabilities, autism, behavior difficulties, developmental disabilities and/or emerging language abilities (nonverbal communication, speech therapy).
Show and Tell provides the adults working with the children a tool to stimulate language, including comprehension, oral expressive skills, reading and writing skills. The app can be used to create social narratives to depict common social problems or conflicts and ways to address them in a socially acceptable way. The app allows for maximum flexibility on the part of the adult designing the story for the child. For example, if the teacher chose to draw small figurines on paper to depict emotions and actions, then a picture can be taken and "voila", a story was created which can then be used over and over again, until the target behavior is learned.
The app allows the user to create sequenced stories which are often key for early language and literacy development. The stories created can be used to expand conversations, introducing the story elements to the child or introducing more details and richness to the conversational exchange.
The stories can be used to support children with severe articulation disorders, oral language difficulties, nonverbal or autistic children. The parents or teacher may create simple stories to depict an activity that the child has done, then use the app to allow the child to share the information with others, familiar or unfamiliar peers and adults, in order to expand the range of people that the child communicates with.
If the focus is on Vocabulary and concept development, the teacher or parent may take pictures of multiple objects depicting a concept that is a focus for the child (such as colors, numbers, sizes, etc), then create a quick story for the child to refer to.
The app may be used to create early literacy individualized alphabet books to aid children who are struggling to make the connection between the letters and their respective sounds through association with pictures of personally meaningful things. For example, the book of B may include several pictures of favorite items of the child that start with B, such as ball, bananas, beaver tails. A familiar voice recording would increase familiarity and ensure faster connections are made.
Children with working memory difficulties may benefit from the stories created with Show and Tell to replay a sequence of familiar events for quick reference. For example, a child may use a story which replays the steps required to do a pen and paper exercise in class or homework.
This is a demo version, limited to three stories with only three pages each. The full version is available on Google Play, search for "wsisat".

Uruguay's 'March of Silence'
May 21 - Thousands join the annual 'March of Silence' in Uruguay's capital, Montevideo, to appeal for justice for dictatorship-era victims. Sunita Rappai reports.
At this march, silence speaks louder than words. Around 50,000 participants take to the streets in Uruguay's capital city of Montevideo in the annual March of Silence. They are demanding justice for those who were killed in the country's military dictatorship of 1973 to 1985. SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) IVONNE KLINGUER, FRIEND OF VICTIM FELIX ORTIZ, SAYING: "I was persecuted because I was a medical student and I wasn't in agreement with the dictatorship. I was finally detained in January of 1982. They first looked for me in 1973. It was very difficult. This friend, Felix Ortiz, he knew where I was. He knew how to find me. And they killed him, torturing him when he didn't give up my address." A few hours earlier, a bill that would have repealed a controversial law preventing the investigation of cases of dictatorship victims was narrowly defeated in Congress. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) MIGUEL DOMINGUEZ, FRIEND OF VICTIM WHO DISAPPEARED IN 1973, SAYING: "There is no other thing, nor any country in peace while there is no truth, justice and punishment for the guilty ones. All the politicians can go ahead and get that out of their heads." Around 200 people died and thousands were detained and tortured by the military during its rule. Sunita Rappai, Reuters

Hilly Hicks Jr.'s "A Hole in the Dark" doesn't lack ambition. His exploration of white guilt concerning African-Americans touches on business conflicts, the liberal identification of black culture as inherently more real than suburban white existence, the fetishization of black male sexuality and inner racism masked by outer kindliness. In this West Coast premiere by the Blank Theater Company, director Darin Anthony and a sensaysh cast deliver an acidly witty production. If the tone shifts from serious drama to broad humor don't quite work, the show is still a hilarious treat.
Desmond Rosehue (Michael Adler) has just successfully sued the city for hiring his black neighbor instead of him to construct a new bridge, but his wife Miranda (Jodi Carlisle) sees no reason the neighbors wouldn't want to accept her invitation to dinner. Cheerful and pixilated daughter Beatrix (Corryn Cummins) is in lust with the neighbor's son, and their politically correct daughter Francine (Whitney Laux) intends to starve herself to protest against some nebulous oppression.
When guilty son Bartholomew begins to research his family's roots and finds out an ancestor was a slaveholder, however, their lives take an unexpected direction.
Miranda goes through more changes than any other character, and local acting treasure Carlisle is equal to every challenge with her robust and rollicking perf. At first she tries to put a good face on a deteriorating situation ("How can they hate us? I made orange biscotti!"). Then she descends into alcoholic myopia; her second-act entrance and a moment in which she swings around coyly in her electric wheelchair are priceless. Carlisle's portrayals of Miranda and her male slaveholding ancestor lead to a moment of racist ugliness and ultimate acceptance that, while not necessarily believable, is nonetheless deeply moving.
Laux, who resembles a younger Maria Bello, is terrifically funny as Francine. Her delivery of a very clever monologue about how hair is a tool of fascist repression is riotously on target.
Laux also plays the slaveholder's wife in a skillful display of thespian range with a colder and more subdued perf, though not without humor, as she comments about a runaway slave: "Our property is stealing our property!"
Cummins is excellent as the mostly innocent Beatrix, and her increasingly lascivious descriptions of her black object of desire are expertly cut comedic gems.
Leonard Roberts brings a great deal of grace and charm to his perf as the female slave Yippee (and also as Bartholomew in act two), although his vocal mannerisms make her seem a bit like a drag queen, which presumably wasn't the playwright's intention.
Roy Rede's cozy Better Homes & Gardens domestic set, complete with mounted picture plates of snowmen and ducks, features walls ingeniously composed of see-through fabric; it becomes a plantation setting when needed and centers the show. Sherry Linnell's costumes, from Beatrix's girly outfit to an antebellum dress, are pitch-perfect.

IBM Watson Speech Services for Web Browsers
Allows you to easily add voice recognition and synthesis to any web app with minimal code.
Built for Browsers
This library is primarily intended for use in web browsers. Check out watson-developer-cloud to use Watson services (speech and others) from Node.js.
However, a server-side component is required to generate auth tokens. The examples/ folder includes example Node.js and Python servers, and SDKs are available for Node.js, Java, Python, and there is also a REST API.
Installation - standalone
Pre-compiled bundles are available from on GitHub Releases - just download the file and drop it into your website: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/speech-javascript-sdk/releases
Installation - bower
bower install --save watson-speech
Installation - npm with Browserify or Webpack
This library can be bundled with browserify or Webpack and easy included in larger projects:
npm install --save watson-speech
This method enables a smaller bundle by only including the desired components, for example:
var recognizeMic = require('watson-speech/speech-to-text/recognize-microphone');
Breaking change for v0.22.0
The format of objects emitted in objectMode has changed from
{alternatives: [...], index: 1} to
{results: [{alternatives: [...]}], result_index: 1}.
There is a new
ResultExtractor class that restores the old behavior;
recognizeMicrophone() and
recognizeFile() both accept a new
extract_results option to enable it.
This was done to enable the new
speaker_labels feature. The format now exactly matches what the Watson Speech to Text service returns and shouldn't change again unless the Watson service changes.
API & Examples
The basic API is outlined below, see complete API docs at http://watson-developer-cloud.github.io/speech-javascript-sdk/master/
See several basic examples at http://watson-speech.mybluemix.net/ (source)
See a more advanced example at https://speech-to-text-demo.mybluemix.net/
.synthesize({text, token}) ->
Speaks the supplied text through an automatically-created
<audio> element.
Currently limited to text that can fit within a GET URL (this is particularly an issue on Internet Explorer before Windows 10
where the max length is around 1000 characters after the token is accounted for.)
- text - the text to speak
- voice - the desired playback voice's name - see .getVoices(). Note that the voices are language-specific.
- autoPlay - set to false to prevent the audio from automatically playing
recognizeMicrophone() and
recognizeFile() helper methods are recommended for most use-cases. They set up the streams in the appropriate order and enable common options. These two methods are documented below.
The core of the library is the RecognizeStream that performs the actual transcription, and a collection of other Node.js-style streams that manipulate the data in various ways. For less common use-cases, the core components may be used directly with the helper methods serving as optional templates to follow. The full library is documented at http://watson-developer-cloud.github.io/speech-javascript-sdk/master/module-watson-speech_speech-to-text.html
.recognizeMicrophone({token}) -> Stream
keepMic: if true, preserves the MicrophoneStream for subsequent calls, preventing additional permissions requests in Firefox
mediaStream: Optionally pass in an existing media stream rather than prompting the user for microphone access.
- Other options passed to RecognizeStream
- Other options passed to SpeakerStream if
options.resultsbySpeakeris set to true
- Other options passed to FormatStream if
options.formatis not set to false
- Other options passed to WritableElementStream if
options.outputElementis set
Requires the
getUserMedia API, so limited browser compatibility (see http://caniuse.com/#search=getusermedia)
Also note that Chrome requires https (with a few exceptions for localhost and such) - see https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/prefer-secure-origins-for-powerful-new-features
No more data will be set after
.stop() is called on the returned stream, but additional results may be recieved for already-sent data.
.recognizeFile({data, token}) -> Stream
Can recognize and optionally attempt to play a URL, File or Blob
(such as from an
<input type="file"/> or from an ajax request.)
file: a String URL or a
Fileinstance. Note that CORS restrictions apply to URLs.
play: (optional, default=
false) Attempt to also play the file locally while uploading it for transcription
- Other options passed to RecognizeStream
- Other options passed to TimingStream if
options.realtimeis true, or unset and
options.playis true
- Other options passed to SpeakerStream if
options.resultsbySpeakeris set to true
- Other options passed to FormatStream if
options.formatis not set to false
- Other options passed to WritableElementStream if
options.outputElementis set
playrequires that the browser support the format; most browsers support wav and ogg/opus, but not flac.)
Will emit an
UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT error on the RecognizeStream if playback fails. This error is special in that it does not stop the streaming of results.
Playback will automatically stop when
.stop() is called on the returned stream.
For Mobile Safari compatibility, a URL must be provided, and
recognizeFile() must be called in direct response to a user interaction (so the token must be pre-loaded).
There have been a few breaking changes in recent releases:
- Removed
SpeechToText.recognizeElement()due to quality issues. The code is avaliable in an (unsupported) example if you wish to use it with current releases of the SDK.
- renamed
recognizeFileto make the primary usage more apparent
- Changed
playFileoption of
recognizeBlob()to just
play, corrected default
- Changed format of objects emitted in objectMode to exactly match what service sends. Added
ResultStreanclass and
extract_resultsoption to enable older behavior.
- Changed
playback-errorevent to just
errorwhen recognizing and playing a file. Check for
error.name == 'UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT'to identify playback errors. This error is special in that it does not stop the streaming of results.
- Renamed
dataoption to
filebecause it now may be a URL. Using a URL enables faster playback and mobile Safari support
See CHANGELOG.md for a complete list of changes.
- Further solidify API
- break components into standalone npm modules where it makes sense
- run integration tests on travis (fall back to offline server for pull requests)
- add even more tests
- better cross-browser testing (IE, Safari, mobile browsers - maybe saucelabs?)
- update node-sdk to use current version of this lib's RecognizeStream (and also provide the FormatStream + anything else that might be handy)
- move
resultsevents to node wrapper (along with the deprecation notice)
- improve docs
- consider a wrapper to match https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/speech-api/raw-file/tip/speechapi.html
- support a "hard" stop that prevents any further data events, even for already uploaded audio, ensure timing stream also implements this.
- look for bug where single-word final results may omit word confidence (possibly due to FormatStream?)
- fix bug where TimingStream shows words slightly before they're spoken

11 Tips Every Home Owner Needs to Know About Insurance
Insurance requires you to think about bad occurrences … medical problems, car accidents, emergency home repairs. But although it may sound pessimistic to dwell on what could happen (carpe diem, anyone?), it's important to protect yourself from some of life's biggest surprises.
When it comes to protecting your home, it's not just about safeguarding against structural damage or theft—it's just as much about feeling secure in where you live. If disaster strikes, your focus should be on reclaiming your sense of stability. The last thing you should worry about is money.
We spoke to LearnVest Planning Services certified financial planner Ellen Derrick—and some real homeowners—about the top 11 things you should know about homeowner's insurance.
1. What It Covers
A typical policy will pay for damage to your property and your possessions in the event of certain storms, fire, theft or vandalism. Like renter's insurance, it also provides liability coverage if someone gets hurt on your property and decides to sue. Homeowner's insurance also covers shelter costs, so you don't have to face crazy hotel bills if you're temporarily displaced from your house.
2. What It Doesn't Cover
A standard policy has exclusions, including earth movements (landslides, earthquakes, sinkholes), power failure, war, nuclear hazard, government action, faulty zoning, bad repair or workmanship, defective maintenance and flooding. Windstorms are typically covered, including tornadoes, although insurance companies exclude tornadoes or hurricanes in some high-risk areas.
3. Why You Should Shop Around
Before committing to a policy, take the time to research an agent whom you trust—preferably one with good reviews online or via a personal recommendation. It's certainly something that Ramzy Ayyad, who struggled to receive benefits following a house fire in November 2008, recommends that prospective homeowners do. "I had to deal with a rude adjuster," he says. After complaining assertively to the adjuster's boss, Ayyad finally received a check for the damages—but the process was exhausting.
4. Which Preventive Actions Can Reduce Premiums
It may sound like common sense to have a working smoke detector, but did you know that it might also help you land a lower insurance quote? The same goes for a burglar alarm. According to insuranceagents.com, you can reduce your premium by about 5% if you install something as a simple as a deadbolt, and up 15-20% for a burglar alarm system.
5. How Replacement Coverage Differs From Market Value
There are two key distinctions that every homeowner should know: "replacement cost" versus "market value." Replacement cost covers repairing or replacing your entire home. Market value is how much someone would pay to buy your home and accompanying land in its current downtrodden condition. [See more]

For my final post in the 'A Lesson In' series, I thought I'd talk about an aspect of university life that most of us will face at some point, but that seems to be neglected by friends, family and the media alike in the excitement of freshers - homesickness.
My experience of freshers week was made hell by homesickness, as opposed to looking back on it with fondness and drunk memories as most do, I remember the worst week of my life. Missing my Mum, family, boyfriend and home so much it physically hurt (and to be honest i'm getting a little chocked up just typing this) and desperately searching google for some magic piece of advice that would make all the pain go away. Eventually it faded, however every time I would come back after the holidays it would hit again, and I'd cross off each day on my calendar before bed, counting down until I could go home.
Luckily I don't feel this way anymore, for which I am thankful, and although it was awful whenever I felt that way I did find ways to get through it. So for those of you who feel this way, read on, and hopefully I'll be able to help a little.
The Being Cosy Cure.
If you're feeling rubbish on the inside, then in my experience feeling amazing and cosy on the outside can help a lot. Take a long, warm shower with the most comforting shower gel you own (Body Shop Shea shower creme I'm looking at you) and relax and unwind. Not only is this intensely comforting, but research actually suggests that being physically warm can lead to psychological warmness (whilst feeling cold can lead to loneliness), and so a lovely shower can be really soothing. After your shower distract yourself with a good pamper, a thick nutty body butter or a manicure are perfect, wrap up in your softest dressing gown or pyjamas and make yourself a hot drink (remember, warmth is key!) before snuggling up in bed or under a blanket. I can guarantee even if you still feel sad, you'll feel a lot better than you did before.
Find Your TV Haven.
Now you're all cosy and warm, it's time to binge watch whatever television show (or indeed film, youtube videos...) make you feel at home. For me this was QI - Stephen Fry's soothing tones, the panel's banter, the lighting, the theme tune, the laughter... I could go on, but basically QI for me was intensely comforting, and made me feel at home even when I wasn't. This could have been due to me watching a lot of QI with my family, in which case try watching something you often enjoy at home. It might even feel like your family are sat watching it with you, and if it doesn't, hopefully you'll be too distracted to notice.
Don't Be Alone.
I get the impression that a lot of people who feel homesickness hide it, holed up in their room alone, from both their family and their flatmates due to shame, embarrassment, or a desire not to worry the ones they love. This is not a healthy way of dealing with missing home! I bonded with one of my closest friends over the fact we both felt so homesick, and every time one of us would cry the other would give a big hug and listen to our woes, and it helped. The loneliness you experience from missing loved ones will only be made worse if you're not socialising, and furthermore talking about your problems really will make them seem better! The same goes for calling your family and not being ashamed to admit how much you're missing them (I bet they miss you, too!). Having them comfort you, and hearing their voices, will make you feel much less alone even if you spend the entire conversation in tears.
Have Something To Look Forward To.
Whether it be a telephone call, a scheduled Skype or a weekend at home, having something to look forward to is a miracle worker. You'll start noticing the positive aspects of being at university a lot more if you're thinking of things to tell your family, and having them tell you what an amazing time it seems you're having is a comfort in itself! Instead of pangs of sadness whenever you spot your favourite family photograph, it'll be pangs of excitement for the next time you get to see them, and so on. Ambiguity breeds discomfort (or at least it does for me), and not knowing when you'll next see your loved ones can lead to an odd sort of lost feeling, so always try and have a date in mind. Once your visit is over, instead of being sad, focus on how long you'd managed to cope by yourself before seeing them and have faith that you can do it again.
The Long Distance Relationship.
Finally, and this isn't applicable for everyone, is the horridness that is missing your boyfriend/girlfriend - long distance can be a bitch. Personally, my coping methods when I missed my boyfriend were much the same for when I missed my family, but there are a few tweaks here and there. Firstly, try and focus on the positive, which is that the small amount of time you do get to spend together will be so much more special (I can say this from experience) - you'll appreciate each other a lot more, you're likely to do more when visiting each other than just moping around, and you'll be too smitten with one another to even think about arguing! However for when this isn't enough and the tears are on their way, indulge your romantic side with a good chick flick and some chocolate (it is the love drug, after all) followed by a brief goodnight chat on the phone. If you hear their voice before you drift off, its almost like they're snoozing beside you.
Ps. Apologies for how late this post is, University has been crazy! I promise to be a better behaved blogger in future.

Couch Session: Phantogram
Couch Session #3 — Phantogram
We had spent the day inside keeping warm,
while Phantogram actually braved last week's storm.
Straight from a magazine photo shoot they came,
shoes fresh with snow from exiting the L train.
Sarah and Josh stopped by during that whole Snowpocalypse,
(crap, there's no word that rhymes with apocalypse...)
We'd listened to Eyelid Movies on repeat for weeks,
intense and exciting, with its intricate beats.
But hearing these songs on the couch was surprisingly raw —
vulnerable, near-silent, and left us in awe.
In the days since, our home has filled with these sounds,
toggling between the two versions still does astound.
Makes sense, that a phantogram is an optical illusion of kinds,
since stripped down or dressed up, the band's essence still shines.
Put on those headphones, and give yourself a few —
there's no way these songs won't strike a chord with you.

This is the man credited with having Britain's longest beard after he grew his whiskers an incredible 2-FEET in length.
Michael Legge, 29, spent four years letting his facial fuzz lengthen to reach the impressive milestone.
The dad-of-two from Rotherham, South Yorks, has won a host of gongs for his impressive beard length.
Joiner Michael, who lives with wife Toni, 24, said: "I've entered twelve competitions and come first in ten of them.
"The last one I won was The British Beard and Moustache Championships in Bath in September in the Full Beard Natural over twelve inches category."

Poppy Pendant
A floral pendant with large petals, inspired by the poppy that announces the arrival of summer. Through her long observation of the flower and her artistic touch, Christa succeeds in evoking the poppy's natural beauty and fragility. It can be worn close to the neck on a simple short chain, a chain adjustable to the type of neckline, or on a thin choker.

I am a Melbourne-based oboist and have been performing in Europe, the Middle East, America and Australia as a soloist, collaborative and orchestral musicianfor the past 15 years .
Wix made it easy for me to collaborate with my friend and graphic / web designer, Jennifer Tierney to create an easy to use yet professional website that I can update myself whenever I need to. Rather than spending thousands of dollars on web developers and having to go through them every time I need a new update for my calendars / photos / news. I can access the page myself and update easily. Wix has an easy to use interface and we didn't require any extra assistance when working on my website. Wix is a cloud-based platform, so both Jennifer and myself were able to access and update the website even though we were on different sides of the country.
Wix has helped me develop and promote my personal brand in the music /arts world. I have received interest in my music from as far as Quebec, Canada. People have expressed how excited they are to see me represented in such a professional way on the internet and that is possible thanks to Wix.
One of the main challenges in my industry is defining yourself publicly, expressing your point of difference to a wide demographic. Obviously, the website itself assisted me in being able to offer people a single link that led directly to my branded page that looks exactly the way I wanted it to look. Thanks to Wix, people can easily learn who I am and see examples of my craft, my website is an extension of my brand.

[Subject: Normally bold, summarizes the intention of the letter] -Optional-
Dear James Drury,
I received your letter of recommendation request yesterday. I hope you understand that I will have to decline your request. Letters of recommendation are recognition of your job skills, expertise and work habits. As such, they are most valuable when they are written by supervisors and colleagues who have worked closely with you. Although we work for the same company, we work in different departments with different duties. In addition, I have as I have only known you for a relatively short period of time I feel it would be remiss of me to comment on your professional strengths, skills and abilities. I was flattered that you considered me to write your recommendation but feel that to best support you in your job search you could choose someone more appropriate. Good luck with your job search!

Weight Loss Foods
Weight loss is a big thing everywhere because nobody wants to be called chucky, chubby, fat, or any of those other names that all mean the same thing. Of course exercising is a very large part of maintaining a healthy weight and staying fit overall but it isn't the only thing. Another really important thing for people who want to lose weight and maintain a healthy body to remember is that they also need to have a certain diet. Here we have a few different foods that are exceptional at helping you lose weight and keep it off.
Leafy Greens
Leafy greens are fantastic for losing weight because they contain no sugar, no fat, and minimal caloreis too. They will fill you up but they won't make your waistline any bigger. Leafy greens include things like spinach, kale, collards, Swiss chards, and anything else of that nature. These things are also low in carbs but very high in fiber which makes them easy to digest. These foods are also known to contain many anti-oxidants, vitamins, protein, and mineral too.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Now these may have a weird name but in reality all we are talking about are things like cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. These foods are also very low in calories, sugar, and fat, and are also high in fiber as well as protein. This makes them the perfect foods for weight loss because they will fill you up without making you fat and they will provide your body with much needed nutrients too.
Lean Beef and Chicken Breast
Meat is actually not bad for weight loss. What is bad for weight loss is fatty meat like bacon or processed meats like cold cuts and McDonalds. In fact a high protein diet can lead to an increased calorie burn throughout the day, not to mention that it is great for filling up your stomach and will keep you from snacking for the rest of the day.
Tuna is another fantastic food for weight loss, that is if you don't make a fatty tuna fish salad that is filled with mayonnaise. Tuna has little calories but lots of protein plus lots of essential oils too. Tuna is fantastic for weight loss and is one of the most recommended foods.
Fruits and Nuts
Fruits and nuts are great for weight loss because they tend to have minimal amounts of sugar and fat while also having lots of nutrients. Ok, nuts have a slightly higher fat content than fruits but a little bit of fat in your diet is still necessary, not to mention that they are healthy too!

As I was driving to work today, I passed a man on the street holding a sign that read "I am very hungry. Bad. God Bless. Homeless." or something to that effect. I try to keep change in my car for these occasions, but I didn't have anything on me today. But I keep reading that sign: "I am very hungry. Bad." And I wanted to do something. So I did the nicest thing I could think of. I rolled down my window and gave him my work snack. It was a bag of sweet potato chips. Delicious. I love them. But I can definitely live without them.
You could tell that he really appreciated the gesture. But he was really reluctant to take it. He said that the last time someone gave him food, he got really, really sick from it. How was he supposed to know that I wasn't trying to poison him?
And I realized that it requires a lot of trust and faith to survive as a homeless person. You never know what the future holds, good or bad. In a sense, it's you against the world, but in another sense, you rely on the generosity of others. Few trust you because of your status in the world, but your only way out is for someone to trust you even in a little, even just recognizing that you're a human with needs.
So to the man on the road, I hope that my small bag of chips didn't make you sick and actually brought you some nourishment. But if you threw it away or gave it someone else or to your dog, please know that I meant it for good. And that you touched my heart as well. I realized that even in what I share with others, I judge. And next time, instead of wondering what you'd use the money to buy, I'd be open to the possibility that you're just as human as I am and are skeptical about the inherent goodness of the other people who inhabit this world.

Taelyn Pagel article
To the editor:
I am utterly astounded at what you are saying about my relative, Brian (Pavlicek). He has been there when I needed him for years. Consider the fact that he dropped everything and took me with him and his wife to get her from the airport when her mother just put her on a plane. Did you know that? He bought her all new clothes, a bed and bedding, and a lot of other things.
I've known Brian for my entire life, and it takes a lot to make that man mad. I've never even seen him mad. Do you realize you guys at the paper have now 100 percent ruined her relationship with her own father? How does that feel?
Maybe you should think about what you're doing. How DARE YOU. I'm disgusted to be living in a town that does things like that. I hope whoever was involved gets in trouble or fired.
Maybe next time you should consider not putting my family drama in the paper. I am utterly disgusted. Thank you for making sure we don't make newcomers welcome to Marion. Good job.

Things were grinding along in their own tiring way when, a few weeks ago, I had some scary news. Financial. Not terrifying but certainly unnerving. It triggered a kind of quiver in my soul that took some handling. I found a sliver of faith; a shred of belief in the power of possibility. Because, frankly, what the fuck else was I going to do? Lie down and play dead and hope the malignant forces in the universe passed me by like bored bullies?
And, just as I began to breathe again the washing machine broke at a cost of £100. Then the car started playing up so that was £300. Then TWO of those bastard cameras caught me in a yellow grid, so parking fines setting me back another £120. The following day I flung a pint of water into my laptop at such an angle that it is irretrievably totalled so that's a grand. I was almost limp with despair and, as I sat there, panting, my eyes cast upwards like the proverbial martyr, I noticed that there was water coming through the kitchen ceiling.
Now. Money problems are better than health problems (although I do feel kind of heart-attacky). But what is the universe doing? What kind of test is this and when will I have passed? Or failed? It's as though Mercury and Venus – both in retrograde which I know because things are weird enough for me to turn to astrology – are holding hands and f***ing me in the ****. Sorry if that offends but I am offended. Is there a message? Do I need an exorcist?
"The universe will provide," they say. "All will be well," they say. Everything happens for a reason, apparently. Here's the upside: I care less and less each time something breaks. Stuff is only stuff, money is only money, the ball just keeps rolling. You can go mad or you can go floppy. Suddenly, for the first time, it feels like a choice. I suppose that's the lesson.

Sports Betting
On occasion, I would turn on Colin Cowherd's radio show The Herd" when I needed a sports fix in the course of some downtime in the office when he had a midday show on ESPN Radio. We have a fleet of web servers ready to deal with your on the internet bets, and two devoted get in touch with centers with agents standing by to take your phone bet. My library has just carried out a large overhaul of the way they display books – they have a table close to the front that they rotate every week with a new theme, they have librarian's choose, new books close to the front, etc. In 1949, Nevada allowed bookmakers to accept bets on horse racing and specialist sports 1 The initial Nevada sportsbooks had been known as Turf Clubs. They may be identified as higher-interest, but a overview of the content material will determine its readability.
Series of the Week (leave this display up all summer, just modify the series each and every week) It's a good spot to show the Black Stallion books a single week, Nancy Drew an additional week, and so on. It really is a possibility to introduce children to a series and possibly they will get hooked on it. LATINO BOOK MONTH (excellent time to function Latino authors from fiction, short stories, memoirs).
Even if you happen to be not a fan of the game, if you are heading to Vegas this fall probabilities are you'll be traveling with someone who is. You could be tempted to get in a small purchasing or spa time whilst your man is watching the huge game. I Often check out the displays, book selections, hunting for inspiration, so your perform is not wasted.
I utilised to operate at a library, and I located it fascinating how the books had been laid out. They laid far more points than they must have on overpriced teams like New Orleans, Tennessee, Baltimore, Miami, and St. Louis, significantly to the delight of the books. So, when I saw he was coming out with his second book on his views of various sports topics, I jumped at the possibility to pick up a evaluation copy and dig in. As hoped, the book was written in a lot the identical manner as his radio show.
Nevada casino sportsbooks generally feature betting windows, large screen televisions, interactive betting stations, odds boards (generally computerized), papers with distinct odds for the day, and areas to sit and watch games and races. Soccer players will discover My Soccer Book by Gail Gibbons and Score!: You Can Play Soccer by Nick Fauchald in 796.334 although baseball players might discover a new home in the library a shelf down at 796.357.

A message from Eric Mead
To subscribers of EMC and the curious:
Eric Mead here, and I'm happy to report that I've been invited back to speak again at EMC 2011.
You might think that I agreed to come back again because it's fun. You would be partially correct, as the first EMC was a delightful three days. Not only the "on camera" talks and real time interaction with attendees through the internet, but we laughed told stories and shared magic during the downtime between sessions--and it was really a great time I'm thrilled to repeat.
But the real reason I'm returning is that I feel something important is going on here. Luis and his team are pioneering something new for magic. A truly world wide magic convention and conversation that is delivered to you through technology, instead of you having to come to it. It's an idea being explored in many fields, from business and science, to social interests and family gatherings, and everything in between. In times past magic was often on the forefront of cutting edge technology, but has fallen behind in most of the important areas. So I believe what Luis and his team are doing is important, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it at the beginning--when no one, including the EMC creators and staff, can yet see what it will evolve into.
The other thing that pushed me to return was the great variety of speakers and topics in 2010, and how magic was treated seriously as an academic, artistic, and creative art. There were heady talks about magic theory, talks that explored method and secrets, talks about the business and commercial side of magic, and even presentations aimed at pure fun and entertainment. I loved the swirling pool of ideas we swam in, and the palpable conviction that magic is not trivial, but something to be respected, and shared with a sense of import and importance.
My suspicion is that 20 years from now this kind of exchange will be commonplace. For now though, as it is in its infancy, I'm proud to be a part of EMC. I hope you'll join us on this journey, and participate fully with us as we explore the art of magic together in this new and exciting way.
Eric Mead

Caliphate vs Caliphate - What The Charlie Hebdo Massacre Exposes
The world is run by ideas and the people/forces that back them. Throughout time, the human effort of governance has always been held by ideas backed through force.
Most of the noise that consumes the information airways since 12 people who were involved with producing the cartoon based opinion publication "Charlie Hebdo" in Paris, France were murdered in an effort to silence their opinion that religion, any religion, and religious ideas that govern human behavior and social roles are not serious and a source for humor.
The Muslim religion, and its enforcers (informed through Sharia Law) are busy at the business of shutting down all parts of organized humanity, that do not agree with their view on how humanity should be governed, in order to set up their own structure of governance that is not based in geographically defined countries - a Muslim Caliphate.
Their most recent target in the Western world was aimed at one of the human freedoms modern society agrees is most important ... the freedom of speech.
Once one peels back the layers of commentary, however, this freedom is not as important to many of those this attack was aimed at, which is the current political leadership force that has formed over putting forward a non-religion/secular based human governance and control over activity - a Progressive Caliphate.
On this side of the struggle, Progressives are choosing not to look at these terrorist murderous acts in France as a war against their governance but more as a small outlier of activity performed by, as one news/opinion broadcaster (Christiane Amanpour) put it, "activists."
Many secular reporters are suggesting that if only Charlie Hebdo placed curbs on its freedom of expressing its secular opinion, these bloody murderous acts of killing 12 people, because the image Muhammad (the leader, through his teachings, of the Muslim religion) was defamed through published cartooning, would not have taken place.
Due to the lack of seriousness of religion and its effects on the formation of culture and governance, the Progressives who govern France have allowed a flood of immigration without an insistence on integration to the existing culture. What France now sees are a series of over 750 "NO GO ZONES" where the people who choose to live in these zones are governed through the Muslim based Sharia Law. If a fire, or murder, or other acts of potential criminal and/or damaging human activity to other humans happens, French first responders are never dispatched and control in these areas is abdicated to the current Muslim Caliphate that resides there.
This type of Muslim governance takeover is not just happening in France. The rest of Europe is at risk with this same set up of takeover through population concentration through immigration and non-insistence of cultural integration. A clash of civilizations.

Europe is not the only group of countries at risk because the Progressive political leadership structures in Canada and United States are open to these same tactics. Open borders policies aided by government welfare, health benefits, and legal driver's licenses to non-documented/illegal aliens are nothing new to our combined Progressive political landscapes.
Here in the progressive atmosphere that is Carter's Second Term, it's Caliphate vs Caliphate - Progressives vs Muslims - in an effort to establish a "New World Order", and what had been created in the establishment of a Constitution of governance (here in the United States) that was based in the idea that all Human rights, which also includes the Freedom Of Speech, are not granted to man from man (not a Monarch, a Prophet, or a Progressive government) ... but through God (a power greater than man), is in peril.

My Story: "The Meat and Potatoes Kid"
I had the typical childhood of Midwest meat and potatoes, with very few green vegetables, if any vegetables, and tons of sugar, candy, hot dogs (extra long), and pizza. I was the kid that could never just eat one; it was as much as I could stuff in my mouth. I would down several pounds of Halloween candy in a few days and drink lots of orange and grape soda. I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house due to her incredible ability to make cakes – lots of cakes. I do remember at age 11, feeling weird lightheadedness, which I know now was blood sugar issues, but mostly my body felt fine, so there was no motivating push to eat better. I then went into sports – football, track and wrestling – and really pushed myself with very little recovery, ending up with lots of injuries, and even bone loss (due to trying to cut weight). I used to eat nothing, but drink a small amount of water a few days before a wrestling match to make weight. I lost several pounds, but was exhausted and stressed. Then after weighing in and making weight, I would consume a VERY large submarine sandwich. This cycle continued throughout college, and was compounded with lots of throat infections and motorcycle injuries. I was starting to wear out just after high school…so of course, I decided to join the army! Three months later, I could barely pass the physical fitness training because there was no rest, extremely hard work, and I was eating very poor foods.
Going through college, I pretty much lived on cheap refined carbohydrates, lots of coffee (Cuban coffee), and never ate any vegetables (justifying this by saying, "I'll eat better when I graduate"). The closest I came to improving my health was eating skinless chicken, low fat pizza, and diet foods. But I did take my vitamins (Centrum Silver)! I was experiencing right shoulder pain from what I thought was a dirt bike injury, but it was getting more severe. Little did I know that the Crisco from all those 'Deep Fried Food Nights' at college had destroyed my liver. Adding insult to injury, I also consumed huge helpings of salty Doritos and chips – the extra large bags! All this was compounded by the stress of college, pushing myself to achieve relentless goals with no sleep.
I started getting severe heart burn. I would carry around the super packs of anti-acid tablets and swallow them down like candy. I had developed chronic right shoulder pain, which I would get treated Chiropractically, even though this never helped. Little did I know, my liver and gallbladder were getting very sick. After graduation, I started my practice, which in part, was fueled by a desire to correct my own personal health struggles. I decided, "It's time to be healthy," so I became a vegetarian. Of course, I tried to do this without eating actual vegetables, only cheap soy products, refined breads, pasta, and lots of prunes (to help my never ending digestive problems). I also had ample servings of fruit and vegetable juices (carrot and apple), which I now know, helped to destroy my blood sugar. I was always tired, but at the same time, I couldn't sleep. My intestines were like cement, and I always seemed to have bags under my eyes. I just couldn't wake up (even after a full night of rest) and always felt half-asleep. Strangely, at night my legs became so restless, I would get out of bed and run at 5 in the morning to get the energy out. I had become completely dependent on naps as well. I would go to the park with my kids and not feel like I was really there – I was too tired for everything it seemed. One time I went out with my wife to eat and I actually told her that I had to go back in the car to take a nap, and left her alone in the restaurant! (That didn't go over too well!) Needless to say, I was searching for solutions. I frequented virtually every vitamin and health food store, and tried all sorts of "energy gimmicks". I was willing to experiment with virtually every "Promises Better Health Vitamin or Solution" around, but still wasn't getting results. One day my wife asked me if I knew the definition of "Hypochondriac." She said, "It's the number of vitamins you have in your cupboard." And I had a warehouse!
By age 28, I had arthritis in my mid and lower back, and severe right shoulder pain. My blood sugar was unhealthy and my diet was not much better. Through my research, I stumbled onto an interesting book. After reading the first chapter of "Mastering the Zone" (a diet book which provides information about insulin and protein requirements), I decided I required a protein breakfast. The next day I ate a buffalo burger for breakfast instead of my regular low fat muffin, and believe it or not, I actually felt better! This was the turning point– realizing that I didn't do well with grains or sugars. Instead of balancing my calories of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, I began focusing on increasing higher nutrients within those proteins, carbohydrates and fats. I shifted my diet considerably and began consuming huge salads of kale, carrots and deep greens. Finally my body was bouncing back – I GOT MY ENERGY BACK! This was exciting. I was able to keep up with my kids – finally. I started intensely studying nutrition, quit my full-time Chiropractic Practice, and delved deeply into endocrine health, acupressure, and alternative care. I was 32 years old. From personal experience, I was driven to study intensely everything I could get my hands on in the fields of endocrinology and the autonomic nervous system, Chinese medicine, nutrition, and exercise physiology. I had a large testing group – my patients – to test what worked and what didn't. The results got better and better until word had spread, and I ended up teaching these methods to members of the medical profession, Chiropractors, and other allied professionals. I discovered that there wasn't one "universal one-size-fits-all" nutritional plan that worked the same on every body.
Through my intense research, I have developed four basic body types, which serve my finding of the four basic health imbalances, each with their own distinct characteristics and needs. My mission is to extract from the sea of confusion these very powerful technologies in the field of health and wellness, so that others can easily recapture their health, and avoid the blood, sweat and tears of trying to keep their bodies vital and healthy.
"I am happy to say that I was my very first
success story. I got my health back, and so can you!"

IN March 2006 President of the Closter New Jersey Belskie Museum of Art and Science, Myron J. Lewis, named me a curator of the museum. The museum's board approved that appointment April 13, 2006. The official title was Curator Numismatics Art. That was intended to cover all medallic and related items the museum had in their collections.
I had learned of the museum four years earlier from the National Sculpture Society and wrote to museum about Abram Belskie as a medallist. I mentioned I had known the artist, had visited him in his studio several times and was very familiar with his medallic work since I had cataloged his medals for Medallic Art Company which had produced most all of his medallic creations.
This led to a telephone call from Mike Lewis and we exchanged phone conversations for four months. We discussed Belskie's work and I learned how the museum came to be established (revealed below). But I guess I proved to Mike's satisfaction I really knew about Belskie's medallic creations. In August 2002 I requested permission to come to Closter to examine and take notes on the medals in the museum's collection.
Mike granted approval and set an appointment for Friday, August 30, 2002. I came prepared with wife Shirley to assist, a list of Belskie's known works and paraphernalia for taking notes including magnifying glasses for examining minute detail and scales to weight silver specimens.
We did examine all the medals and started on the plaster models but it took all day Friday. We came prepared, as was required, for a second day. We stayed at a nearby motel and worked the Saturday examining the plaster models in the museum's basement storeroom.
I measured image size of plaster models and dictated details as Shirley recorded a description lengthy enough to identify the medal made from each model. That also took the full day.
Back in Connecticut I wrote a 51-page catalog of Belskie's medals and sent that to Mike Lewis. Not only did it include a list of all medals and models with complete details but a bibliography of all published references mentioning these I could find, plus a glossary on the medallic terms used in cataloging.
My phone conversations with Mike Lewis continued. That led to my 2006 curatorial appointment. Since then I have suggested two other medallic estates which the museum should acquire. New Jersey sculptor Roger Brown had died and the family wanted to know what to do with his trove of tools, medals, and models. The other was a much larger archive of an artist who was still alive (but resided outside the state of New Jersey).
Mike Lewis followed up for both of those collections, visiting each in turn. Unfortunately he became ill and neither resulted in a donation to the museum.
Exhibitions are the paramount purpose of this museum. Exhibitions of art of every kind are shown throughout the year. Obviously an exhibition of Belskie's medallic work was called for. so an exhibit was planned for Fall 2009. To make this exhibit even more meaningful, the American medalists who had exhibited at the international symposium of F.I.D.E.M. (the International Federation of Medallic Artists) that year leant their medallic works to show as well.
Grants for a publication was obtained from the Bergen County Department of Parks, Division of Cultural & Historical Affairs, Capitol One bank and the Van Pelt Foundation. I wrote a 12-page brochure on Abram Belskie Numismatics: The Art of Coins and Medals. It illustrated some of his work, contained a very brief biography, told how he prepared his models, a glossary, and a timeline on the artist. The two-month exhibit was on view from September 13 to November 15, 2009.
Closter New Jersey was also the home of another famous modern sculptor, Marcel Jovine, who lived only two blocks from the museum. He, too, became, like Aram Belskie, a medallist late in life. But Jovine created coin models that became United States coins of commemorative interest, in addition to highly artistic medals.
Jovine died January 2003. His two daughters have kept his Closter home intact, where his models are stored. In the Fall of 2008 the Jovine daughters hired me to catalog their father's medallic works – medals, coins and models.
This required more than just a written description. We had to build new shelving to store plaster models – photography every item – plus a full written description. I hired a photographer who with a helper photographed all items in three day's time. I delivered that illustrated catalog early in 2009.
For years I had been in touch with the family of sculptor Joseph DiLorenzo. A third generation sculptor, he lived and worked nearby in Alpine New Jersey, less than three miles from the Belskie Museum.
Here then were three of America's top metallic sculptors, all neighbors! I came to learn they were all friends of each other, often traded tips, encouragement, and even commissions! among each other. If one was too busy, he would pass off a job to his close friend. For a large commission, like a series of medals, two would often do half the design and models.
I'm certain if one had rush job and was short of plaster … or clay … he could call on his fellow sculptor for a cup … or bucket full, instead of having to travel the New York City for a fresh supply. Friends would do that.
DiLorenzo died December 2001. His widow died two years later. Thus I was in contact with his three children. DiLorenzo was the most productive of all, creating just under 400 medals over a 32-year career.
I learned he had destroyed his plaster models before he retired to Florida in 1988, but he had a large collection of medals. Before he died he even invited me to Florida to come catalog his medals there. "I have a closet full," he relaed.
In 2009 son Michael DiLorenzo informed me they have cleared out their parents home in Florida. I stated that if he could bring the medals and related items to me I would catalog them. On January 2, 2010 he delivered to me the medals, a few plaster casts and sketches.
This began a two-year period of cataloging, refurbishing, and some photographing of the family collection. In addition to the medals DiLorenzo had created there were nearly 150 study medals in the collection by other artists.
The wheels were turning in my mind. As a curator I can imagine an exhibit I would like see occurr. The theme would be The Three Closter Medallists –Belskie, DiLorenzo and Jovine.
Perhaps, I thought, the families would want to donate those medallic items to the Belskie Museum – for the Jovine and DiLorenzo items to join those of Belskie already ensconced. Meanwhile I would persuade the museum officials to put such an exhibit in their upcoming exhibit schedule.
Early in the year 2014 would be ideal. You see, in 1964 DiLorenzo and Jovine created the Closter New Jersey Tercentennial Medal. It only had one side but designed and modelled by the two sculptors. Year 2014 would be the 350th anniversary of the town. I see a new medal, perhaps incorporating their 1964 design, motif, or even that as one side of a new anniversary medal!
We must Plan Ahead. It would benefit the exhibit. And benefit the town!
How the Belskie Museum came into existence is interesting. There was a group of local citizens who had breakfast every morning at a favorite eatery. Belskie was one of those participants. Others were prominent businessmen, some were members of the local Lion's Club.
When Belskie died November 1988, the Breakfast Group learned his house containing his studio and all its contents were soon up for sale. Belskie's two sons were not interested in preserving the studio or contents containing much of their father's work. It would go to whoever purchased the house.
The Breakfast Group generated the idea "Let's build a museum and put all Belskie's art work in it." It could be a project of the local Lion's Club. The sons were receptive to donating the entire contents of he studio.
The seed of an idea grew. Construction company members of the Lion's Club began plans. The City of Closter had land adjacent to their library that would be ideal. If they built it would the City accept it?
Good things sometimes happen. Lion's Club members pitched in, volunteering help, often physical labor. The museum got built before the Belskie house was sold.
Mike told me they took truckload after truckload out of that basement studio and hauled it to the new museum building. The museum is owned by the City, largely due to the local Lion's Club. It was named after Abram Belskie, who used to sit with many of his neighbors for breakfast on frequent mornings.
The museum is operated entirely with volunteer help. On my infrequent visits to the museum, I am enthralled by the camaraderie, enthusiasm, dedication, devotion and interest of those volunteers. That's community spirit!

1-The Regent
When the king dies and his child or children are underage, a Regent may be appointed from amongst the top nobles to rule until the eldest son (or eldest daughter if there are no sons or the monarchy is a Queendom) is old enough to rule in his or her own right. This does not, however, keep the country safe from royal tyranny if an adult monarch starts acting up. Also, certain Regents who wish to carry on ruling have a tendency to cut the heir with a knife.
2-Noone Is Above The Law
If a monarch starts blatantly breaking the laws in a big way to the point where the safety or the stability of the country is being threatened, then the judges of the High Court can impeach the monarch and have him or her arrested and someone else named monarch. The dangers are twofold; a clever monarch can rewrite the laws to make impeachment nearly impossible, or the judges can become the true rulers of the land in a de facto kritarchy and then themselves misbehave.
3-Royal Council
The king sits on a royal council of the most important nobles, and whilst he chairs the council and to an extent has control over what exactly is put before it, he has only one vote and can quite easily be outvoted by the nobles. In this way stupid, megalomaniacal or frankly idiotic kings can be outvoted, yet the monarchy is more then a mere figurehead. A persuasive monarch can have a surprising amount of power under this system.
4-Swap Spell
When the old monarch dies, the chief wizard of the royal court secretly casts a spell that swaps the spirits of an average person living outside the royal court and the spirit of the monarch. The idea behind that is that the new monarch will be a man/woman of the people, knowing what the average person thinks, rather then some snooty out of touch noble. The wizard might well fear that despite his or her gratitude, the new monarch might order his or her assassination.
Times have changed, and the monarch has lost all or nearly all of his/her power, perhaps after a civil war. The monarch stays completely or nearly completely out of politics and just enjoys a life of luxury. Perhaps the real government is now elected by the people; or a military dictatorship; or a council of the rich nobles and merchants. The monarch does still have some value as a symbol and as the Captain-General of the army; if someone tries to do a coup, he or she can order the armed forces not to obey the coup leader and the armed forces will most likely obey the monarch.
6-Call A Doctor
Although the monarch is an autocrat, if all the leading royal doctors are asked one by one if the monarch is insane and they all agree, the royal ministers can have him or her stripped of the crown, deposed and sent to a lunatic asylum. The disadvantage here is that if the doctors are bribed, they could quite easily wrongly declare a perfectly sane monarch insane because someone else wants the crown.
7-Royal Sacrifice
If the country starts to seriously suffer under the monarch's rule, be it a famine, a stock market crash that turns into a severe depression or just widespread public unrest and hatred of the monarch, the chief priests declare formally that the monarch has "lost the mandate of heaven" and order that he or she be handed over to them. If this is done, the monarch is publically bound to an altar, publically sacrificed to the gods and, depending on the funeral customs of the country, either cremated on a huge pyre or buried with a few grave goods in a barrow, and if there is no adult heir capable of ruling the chief priests choose the new ruler from amongst the leading nobles.
Additional Ideas (1)
The magic item:
The crown (or some similar item) is a sentient item with the power to "choose" a fit king.
If it think the king is no longer worthy of the title it's impossible to make the crown stay on the head of the king. The crown is also almost indestructible.
This of course may lead to attempt to hide the real crown and replace it with a fake one.
The fake king:
The king is killed and replaced by a wood construct that's magically "made alive", something on the line of Pinocchio. But still under the control of his creator.
This "geppetto" would adjust the construct to fake aging and maybe even create a "son" and a "wife".
Of course the creator could be a even worse ruler.

From Coranderrk to the Gunditjmara's eel farms, caring for their people and the environment governed Aboriginal business practices

The Gunditjmara smoked the eels and traded them with other Aboriginal nations. It was a successful economy based on healthy lifestyles and stewardship that worked with the natural environment as the farms shifted and changed with the seasons, with floods and droughts.
Last year, when I attended Purpose, the values-led business conference, I discovered the similarities between BCorps and the principles that have always governed Aboriginal business. And there is much that non-Indigenous businesses can learn from us when looking for models that create a positive impact on the world and generate prosperity.
The Gunditjmara eel farm was an early example of an Aboriginal economy based on key principles of contemporary values-led business. The farms engaged with seasonal changes to have a positive environmental impact, creating a new ecological system rich with vegetables and waterbirds.
The woven traps were made from biodegradable locally sourced materials. Efficiency was key, with people spending the minimum amount of time acquiring food. The smoked eels were a unique product traded with other nations. And the Gunditjmara Elders had a succession plan. To this day they teach young people how to weave the traps, where to place the stones, and how to smoke the eels.
I named my company Kalinya, which in my language, that of the Yorta Yorta people of northern Victoria, means good, beautiful and honest. This is to serve as a constant reminder to practise Aboriginal ways of working as I move into the business sector.
Business is not new to us; our economies stretch back tens of thousands of years. Yolgu people from Arnhem Land were engaging in international trade long before colonisation: the Macassan people would come from Indonesia to trade cloth, tobacco, rice and knives for sea cucumbers that were valued for medicinal purposes.
Post-colonisation, our people continued to run successful enterprises. Coranderrk Station in Healesville, Victoria, ran successfully for many years selling wheat, hops and crafts. In 1881 produce from the farm won first prize at the Melbourne international exhibition.
It was the success of Coranderrk that led to its downfall. When the farms flourished, neighbouring non-Indigenous farmers petitioned that the land was now too valuable for Aboriginal people and the station was closed.
We are coming into a critical time for Aboriginal enterprise. There is a growing interest in Aboriginal knowledge, a trend for uniquely Australian products, and an increased awareness of native foods, medicinal plants and beauty treatments.
But as Aboriginal business owners, we must remember what happened at Coranderrk and equip ourselves for this wave of increased interest. We need to protect our intellectual property and trademark our ideas so we can rebuild our economies in a way that is true to our principles.
When you are systematically pushed out of an economy, it does terrible things for your self-confidence. The hardest part of running a business for me has been valuing my unique knowledge as an Aboriginal woman. For years I have worked 50-hour weeks and lost money. I was partnering with non-Indigenous companies who charge standard industry prices, while I charged reduced rates. I was paying my suppliers double the amount I was charging clients. It was a rookie error but there is something at play that goes beyond the need for business mentoring and support for Aboriginal start-ups. It speaks to our self-confidence.
Colonisation is a system designed to break up social structures. When our people were put on missions, we were robbed of our ability to practise culture, sustain a healthy lifestyle and our economies were broken down. The Gunditjmara could no longer farm eels and our trade routes were destroyed.
Colonisation works by making Indigenous people dependant. As wards of the state, our people were not paid cash, in the new cash economy, but rather given ration cards to get flour, tea and sugar. Our Ancestors built the railroads, made up a large portion of the shearing industry and worked tirelessly as domestic staff, but until the 1970s the government could confiscate 70% of an Aboriginal person's wage.
To decolonise, we have to understand that Aboriginal people have been systematically pushed out of the Australian economy and rid ourselves of the misconception that we are somehow inherently "bad" with money.
Countless generations of our Ancestors ran successful businesses. They developed unique products and traded with different nations. Our pre-colonisation economies cared for Country. As the Gunditjmara eel farms show, Aboriginal business can have a positive environmental impact.
As our lives have adapted to contemporary Australian life, we have retained Aboriginal ways of working, which put people and culture first. We value the knowledge of our Elders and create succession plans to ensure the wellbeing of future generations. These fundamental principles are at the heart of values-led business. As the sector takes off, it is an opportunity for Aboriginal entrepreneurship to shine.
Elders, Ancestors and Country is capitalised in recognition of Aboriginal kinship structures, relationship to the land and in respect of cultural protocol.

Looking back on 20 years of FOX News and the impact of Roger Ailes
Twenty years ago this week, FOX News went live. It was an oddity on the cable television landscape: news with a view. MSNBC, which had launched a few months earlier, was modeling itself after CNN, the doggedly nonpartisan network that had pioneered cable news back in 1980. But FOX News was markedly different from these other cable news networks. Rather than copying the objective reporting of the mid-20th century, FOX reached back to the 19th century, and the age of the partisan press.
Party papers made up much of the press in much of the United States in its first 100 years. Often subsidized by local parties, these newspapers were the campaign surrogates of the day. Editors were perplexed by the idea they should be anything else. "A despicable impartiality I disclaim," wrote a Connecticut editor in 1800, explaining: "I have a heart, and a country."

And a party. Long before Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch teamed up to start FOX News, Ailes was a GOP operative. He got his first taste of Republican politics in the Nixon era, consulting first on the 1968 campaign and then on the first few years of the administration. It was there that he started dreaming of some sort of pro-Republican media, a Nixon-friendly outlet to counter a press corps that the administration believed was decidedly unfriendly to the president.
Nothing ever came of it. But Ailes would continue to straddle television and politics. He consulted for Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, providing election year advice to both men. He produced Rush Limbaugh's television show in the mid-1990s and helped run "America's Talking," a network that tried to build a television counterpart to talk radio. (It was not particularly successful.)
And then came FOX News. Riding the winds of the Republican revolution, Fox became the televised voice of the GOP. It did not claim its party allegiance overtly – "Fair and Balanced" (wink) – but as Gabe Sherman showed in his 2014 biography of Ailes, from the start FOX's goal was to promote Republican politics. The partisan press had returned.

Returned, but with one big difference. The partisan press of the 19th century was eventually eclipsed by the penny press, newspapers driven by commercial interests rather than partisan ones. But Ailes did not see profits as a threat to politics: He believed they were compatible, that a conservative channel could rake in serious cash.
And for a while, profits and politics did cohabitate comfortably at FOX News. From 2001 on, it consistently topped its competitors in the ratings as Republicans held power in Washington. In the last few years of the Bush administration, however, Republicanism was losing its shine. That was a problem for the pro-GOP station, which struggled until it was bailed out by Barack Obama.
Obama's election breathed new life into both the GOP and FOX News. As the tea party spread, personalities like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin sent ratings soaring. Viewers loved the tea party pundits (Beck more than Palin), and FOX News found itself fostering an energetic new movement that both buttressed the Republican Party and threatened to destroy it. As wild-card tea-party candidates cost the GOP seat after seat, the conflict between profits and politics started to become clearer. The political newbies were great for ratings, but not, it turned out, for the Republican Party.
Ailes never resolved this tension. His attempt to handpick a president in 2012 fueled a tumultuous primary battle that weakened the party. Worse: It gave voters a taste for reality-television electioneering, something Donald Trump has profited handsomely from. (One of the few things he's profited handsomely from, if his tax records are to be believed.)
So perhaps it is fitting that Ailes was forced to resign during the Summer of Trump. It freed him up to join the Trump campaign, and to actively lay waste to the party he spent a lifetime working to promote.
Happy anniversary.

Orozco sustained the injury while practicing a dismount off a high bar.
Three-time world medalist John Orozco will not be joining the four other members of the U.S. men's Olympic gymnastics team at Rio 2016 because of an ACL injury, USA Gymnastics announced Friday.
Orozco sustained the injury while practicing a dismount off a high bar, according to USA Today.
Orozco's ACL injury is just the latest health setback for the 23-year-old. Orozco has torn his Achilles tendon twice, which caused him to skip last year's World Championships.
• U.S. women's Olympic gymnastics team going for gold
In the 2012 London Summer Olympics, Orozco represented the U.S. in the men's artistic team all-around, as well as the men's individual all-around.
Following an impressive performance on the pommel horse in front of head coach Kevin Mazeika, Orozco was set to participate in the pommel horse in Rio, as well as the high bar and parallel bars.
Reigning Olympic bronze medalist Danell Leyva will fill Orozco's spot.
The team will begin competition on Aug. 6.

Another weekend, another Lindsay Lohan police situation.
Lohan claims a man she had just met at a nightclub in New York City assaulted her at a hotel afterparty when she confronted him about photos he had taken of her on his phone. Lohan accused the man, Christian LaBella, of choking her, throwing her to the ground, and climbing on top of her. A former congressional aide, LaBella was arrested for assault and harassment, though the charges have since been dropped. Still, photos of LaBella with other luminaries like Kim Kardashian and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan dominated celebrity news over the weekend.
Lohan's publicist expressed outrage that the police let LaBella go, saying, "We think it's both distressing and outrageous. Lindsay was assaulted and there needs to be a consequence for that."
