International Trade Union Confederation
ITUC Statement on International Women's Day 2014: No more words – it's time for action
Brussels, 6 March 2014 (ITUC OnLine): On the occasion of International Women's Day 2014, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) is calling time on gender-based violence in the world of work. Violence against women at work, whether at their actual place of work or on the way to and from work, can take on multiple forms.
However it manifests itself, violence can destroy a woman's ability to earn a livelihood and prevent her from fully enjoying her economic, social, political and cultural rights. At worst, it can result in death.
That's why the ITUC is urging the tripartite constituents of the International Labour Organization (ILO) to support calls for an ILO Convention on violence against women and men in the world of work at the forthcoming ILO Governing Body meeting from 13 – 27 March, 2014.

Lithuanian presidency proposes increase to volatility adjuster cap
European law-makers are edging closer to an agreement on Solvency II's long-term guarantees package, which could increase the cap on the volatility adjuster to as much as 70%.
Speaking at Insurance Risk Europe, Jorg Sauren, internal model owner at ING Insurance Eurasia, said that the Lithuanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union has put forward a plan to set the cap at 65% as part of its proposals on Omnibus II.

A panel of appellate judges called allegations of sexual abuse against boys at Yeshiva University's prestigious high school "appalling," but did not indicate if it would reinstate a $680 million suit tossed in January because the statute of limitations had expired.
Thursday's arguments in Manhattan federal court centered around whether the statute of limitations kicked in when the crimes allegedly occurred — between 1969 and 1989 — or when the school's coverup was made public in a 2012 newspaper report.
In January, Manhattan federal Judge John Koeltl said the victims — who range in age from late 30s to early 60s and reside as far away as Israel — waited too long to speak up.
Yeshiva's attorney, Karen Bitar, admitted the abuse was one of the school's "best kept secrets," yet said the victims should have pursued legal action right away.
"At what point in time does an abused person have to protect their rights? Once you know you're injured, you have to act," she said.
The lawyer for the plaintiffs, Kevin Mulhearn, argued that it wasn't until the Daily Forward published a story that the victims were aware there had been a coverup.

The Nhill Karen Community's Quest for Harmony
From asylum-seeking camps along the Thai and Burmese border, to the Western Victorian town of Nhill; the journey of the Karen (Kayin) refugees is a great example of how people from different backgrounds can harmoniously both live and grow together.
Troubles in Burma
Since the end of Burmese democratic rule in 1962, the Karen people have been suffering persecution from successive governments. When martial law was declared in 1989 (and the country re-named Myanmar) the situation in the country became much more dangerous for Karen people. This group was forced to flee their homes into the mountains where many found security in refugee camps along the Thai and Burmese border.
In 2011 the nation transitioned to a civilian government via democratic elections; however Myanmar still remains in a state of conflict.
United Communities
Four years ago, one of the Wimmera's largest employers invited over a hundred members of the Australian Karen refugee community to join the workforce in Nhill; a town with a population of 3,000. The formation of a soccer team with the Nhill Districts Sports Club was encouraged by local volunteers. Unfortunately, 'home' matches were frequently forfeited by other teams not willing to make the long journey to Nhill and the 'away' matches were becoming too costly. This inconsistency of matches discouraged the players and, as a result, the team disbanded.
'One World Cup'
The Hindmarsh City Council received a grant from Sports Without Borders for the Nhill Karen community to participate in the Melbourne 'One World Cup' Harmony Day soccer competition. The event was hosted by Victoria Police and was a 'unique youth project targeted at promoting, encouraging, and celebrating cultural diversity through football'. Female participation was encouraged by ensuring that at least one female, per team, was on the field at all times. Local Nhill Police Sergeant Nelson Barwise joined the team on their journey. "It's all good for their community, all good for Nhill. (It's a…) win/win," Barwise said proudly.
Participation in the sporting event united the Karen refugee community, through the sharing stories of their adventures and this promoted a sense of belonging to the Australian culture.
Hope for the future
Today, over 120 Karen people live in Nhill, including 26 children and 6 infants. They fill the local community hall every year for their New Year celebrations.
The Karen refugees in Australia live in relative security compared to the family and friends still living along the Thai and Burmese border.
The Karen refugee and Nhill communities continue to work together and embrace new friendships with a hope for a peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict in Myanmar.

Question: "How Should I Vote: Remain or Leave (In or Out)?"
ANSWER: "The shortest answer is to vote for which choice you think gives you more choice in the future."
~ 2. ~
Question: "But isn't the referendum a mistake by David Cameron?"
Response: "No, even before we joined the EEC there were deep problems with our membership which became obvious with the EURO." This Referendum is effectively 25 years late and secondly the only direct vote people have been given in over 40 years since 1975, proving the first answer (above).
~ 3. ~
Question: "Surely it is safer to vote Remain?"
Response: "Remain did not stop the Eurozone Crisis or the Ukraine War or Mass Immigration Crisis or The Financial Crisis or Referendums in France, Holland, Ireland, Denmark which were rejected or ignored by the EU or "made to vote again to get the right answer". The UK has had over 40 years of EU membership; voting to Leave I'm sure will be able to bank on the good will we've expressed to the EU all those years in return for democratically withdrawing from EU Treaties."
~ 4. ~
Question: But there is no way to withdraw without the markets or pound or economy suffering? It would be a "leap into the dark" as David Cameron says?"
Response: "Defining Brexit (British Exit) carefull as "Withdrawal from EU Treaties - only" then makes it a Political Question with a Political Answer. Article 50 Lisbon Treaty allows us to withdraw politically via negotiated settlement."
~ 5.~
Response: "True. leaving the EU could be compared to "the falling of the Berlin Wall" in political significance. However, the principles of leaving the Political, the Judicial and never joining the Monetary Unions of the EU are the core of the question for Britain/UK to ask itself what poltical future does it see for itself?"
~ 6. ~
Question: "I'm still very concerned about the Economic fall-out of such a transition, despite the merits you point out concerning choosing our political future more clearly and transparently."
Response: "Again, agreed. Brexit must be handled very carefully. The aspect of our present membership which we and we suspect all parties wish to sustain is access and membership to the Single Market, so that effectively Economic transition is at worst mild flux and best neutral. Mishandled it would be a disaster."
~ 7. ~
Question: "But we've been told that our present relationship with the EU is "the best of both worlds"?
Response: "Since we joined in 1975, we've had something like Nine New EU Treaties: Namely the EU Treaties themselves are politically unstable and directed politically to creating a New Supranational Government of the EU/EZ. Hence while we remain a member we are subject to these unstable political problems which given the various voting systems and EU Treaty rules cannot be resolved individually in favour of one member."
~ 8. ~
Question: Secondly it's not practical to have access to The Single Market and not be a member of the EU where we need our influence on how the laws are made that affect us if we remain members of the Single Market anyway?"
ANSWER: "If our membership of the EU has done anything, it's to retard level discussion of the EU with accurate reporting of facts. The above assertion so widely distributed and repeated is perhaps the most exemplary of examples of this decay of democracy in the UK concerning the EU Subject: This itself is a good guide as to where correct solutions might be? I can point out multiple resources that answer these concerns factually and correct them: The Market Solution: Bite-Sized Chunks."
~ 9. ~
Question: So, it is conceivable that the UK could remain a member of the Single Market, but isn't it better to wait for David Cameron's Deal to take effect when the EU starts the next New Treaty process and we can be offered a better deal, then? Surely that's so much more diplomatic and would remove a lot of the risk, uncertainty by Reforming the EU together?
Response1: "The first thing to note is that this type of "language" has been used so many times by UK and EU politicians over the past decades from Edward Heath through to John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and now David Cameron: To delay providing the people with a direct democracy choice over which future path to take. In effect, the concept of "EU Reform" is a deception."
Response2: "The second thing to note is the EU Treaty Rules themselves limit what can be done politically underneath those Treaty Rules. Outside the EU Treaty Rules the "scope" for change or reform is beyond comparison. That difference is more than enough weight I would contend for voting to Leave."
~ 10. ~
Question: "I don't know, that sounds almost philosophical. Most Leave campaigners want hard returns such as to "control borders", "reduce red tape", "save money that is sent to the EU to spend on hospitals and schools etc". If leaving is economically neutral, then it does not seem follow that those things will be achieved; the very reasons given by Leave campaigners to leave? Why take the chance?"
Response: "I agree with that line of reasoning. Those reasons are as much over-promising as the opposite reasons provided for the remaining in the EU are untrue or untrustworthy. Again they're made by the same groups of people: Politicians and Journalists. These select groups of sets of people who disproportionately shape and influence our nations' decision-making don't seem to me to be very reliable. This I would argue is yet another supporting reason for more Direct Democracy input by more people and more interest groups beyond these dominating but flawed arguments all over our mass media."
~ 11. ~
Question: "I'm glad we agree on something! However as you said, many various interest groups should be included in this Referendum. And it does appear that which ever group you care to name: Farmers, Scientists, Scottish or Northern Irish, Manufacturers, Banks, IT Sector, Foreign Dignatories such as the USA President Barack Obama, Environmental Groups in particular, Nurses... the list goes on and on, all these groups indicate that leaving the EU would be disastrous for them and their particular concerns? Looking broadly, as opposed to a few loud groups such as UKIP, it seems far more sensible and reasonable to vote Remain?"
Response: This is in fact many questions within one question so complex to unpack, in any great detail. Some general observations however:-
- Most of these groups are falling into FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) to base their decisions from.
- This is as we've already discussed due to their sources of information in the Legacy News-Media being highly compromised.
- Most of these people may be professionals and experts in their own fields or areas of expertise but when it comes to the Politics of the EU, are significantly not, even and often in their own areas.
- Firstly regarding economic concerns: It works both ways: Neutral means no benefits but no major losses either.
- Secondly, access to Single Market would not affect Freedom of Movement of Labour or Migration greatly anyway. So job markets would be unaffected.
- Thirdly, areas of influence over Single Market acquis/legislation, >90% of this is now made at global bodies where UK direct representation would ultimately be more influential and positive for the UK than in the EU. This process of globalization is only going to increase.
- Fourthly, given the nature of such legislation, most of these "rules" won't change on Brexit. Additionally Brexit would repatriate all of the current acquis so again neutral change.
- Fifthly, many of the heads of other states or indeed some of these organizations would do better to express their interests neutrally as to aid the debate for people to base their voting on.
- Sixthly this is because the major question is on "Self-Governing People" which means people are given more choice for their political future which is functionally intended to improve decision-making. Check: The EUROZONE Crisis.
- Seventhly, the concept of Globalization has not percolated sufficiently, and hence these groups frame their arguments in a narrow and limited sense with respect to an EU-Centric world view. That view is redundant and outdated. There's a big wide world above it. This picture may help:-
a glimpse of globalization ABOVE the EU and hence above EU member states
~ 12. ~
Question: "Ok, I accept the hypothetical of what you say. Is there anywhere where I can actually fact-check later on in my own time on some of your assertions or explanations?"
ANSWER: "Yes, there truly is. I've read most of the Brexit plans and most of them don't work. The singular exception that is a paradigm shift in thinking on this subject is":-
- FLEXCIT: The Market Solution (Full Treatment, 421 pages)
- FLEXCIT: The Market Solution (Pamplet, ~40 pages)
- FLEXCIT: The Market Solution (Presentation, 30 minutes)
- FLEXCIT: Mind Map (Visual Image with reference articles)
- The Market Solution: Bite Sized Chunks (Summary Blogs in article form)
~ 13. ~
Question: "Thank you. That's a lot of information to take in. I'm a bit surprised that firstly, I've not even heard of this Brexit plan before. Secondly, that none of the Leave Campaign groups support it; in fact I'm not even sure what or which Brexit plan they support (Wow, that's a bit odd, now I realize it...). So what is the credentials of this plan? How is it relevant? If it's not being promoted by the Leave Groups, it then cannot be the basis for future settlements between the EU and the UK, irrespective of it's potential merits? This is really confusing."
Response: "As pointed out, FLEXCIT has been available for over two years. It's been systematically rejected, ignored, betrayed, omitted and attacked by the likes of politicians and journalists. This means that we've not had an intellectually honest debate about "HOW TO LEAVE?" The debate has been corrupted for so long by vested interest groups with rent-seeking (Vote Leave are full of Tories) and ego-driven motives (Nigel Farage's influence on ruling UKIP). There is a group that does support the only fully worked out Brexit plan, called The Leave Alliance. As coincidence would have it: The Leave campaigns are giving David Cameron an open goal."
~ 14. ~
Question: "Well that's a bit of a dampener to end on. I was almost coming around to the "LEAVE" consideration, but if the question is run by some of these other groups, I'm not sure I can bring myself to support them?"
Response: "It is what it is. The consistent theme I've tried to imbue this Q&R session with is not an authorative or shouty answer, but a constructive sharing of understanding to improve the quality of arguments. In almost all "air-time" examples of our Referendum debate involving journalists and politicians (though Andrew Neil seems to have been a positive exception on BBC Daily Politics), the situation is akin to "The Tail Wagging The Dog" or indeed The Dog Chasing It's Own Tail;
...where the desired result dictates the arguments which dictates the low quality communication which dictates the quality of our politics. This Q&R has been I hope in the spirit of fun of learning and sharing information. It's this important trend the stale politics of Remaining in the EU vs the vibrant vision of Leaving the EU according to the intelligence and research driven work of FLEXCIT which The Leave Alliance asserts as the primary foundation from which to base decision-making and promoting Real Democracy beyond politicians, Whitehall, SW1 and Brussels.
~ 15. ~
Question: This style of Q&R agrees with me at least, are there any other such types of communication that I can follow in this format, it's proven really thought-inducing?
ANSWER: A couple I can recall immediately that I've found very succinct:-

I'm very excited to share with you a personal diary entry of one of our clients, Jennifer Hickey. Jennifer came to TNT Nutrition back in May 2016 with initial goals to learn what to eat to maintain weight while running and eating foods she enjoys. She wanted to lose 5-7 lbs, and felt that it was just so hard for her to lose weight and she had to watch everything she ate (literally). She had a large list of questionable food allergies and intolerances as well that were affecting her overall health, which included vegetarian staple foods, which didn't help that she preferred a vegetarian lifestyle! She also shared her past struggles with dieting. She had been dieting since she was 11, was an emotional eater, binge eater, had every food/diet/nutrition opinion/resource known to man and was utterly confused and had no idea what to do. Needless to say, we had quite a few areas to dissect and really figure out, this was not going to be an easy task.
We first tried to address her allergies to help provide her immediate relief from some of her symptoms, but it didn't take long to see that her restrictive eating and emotional eating tendencies were really hindering our ability to fully address her body's needs. Hence the mindful eating consulting began. Jennifer was a brave soul in being open and honest about some of her deepest fears, emotions, views on body image, food, I mean, I don't know what we didn't talk about over the next few months. I will never forget when Jennifer said, "I can't believe how much time I've wasted obsessing about food and weight my whole life". Big moment for her. Approximately one year later, Jennifer has really overcome her biggest obstacles surrounding her relationship with food. She is embracing an entirely new world about food, and is investing her energy into her big vibrant life, and not stressing about what she's going to eat when she's going camping with her family, or if the scale went up or down a pound, or logging her foods every, single, day. The level of transformation Jennifer went through I feel is too large to wrap up in one sentence.
Through mindful eating consulting, one always learns more about oneself: who they are, what they need, what needs are not being met, to name a few. She mentioned a passion she had was writing, and she toyed with the thought of writing her story to impact others in a positive way about her experiences. I encouraged her to follow this intuition and knew that when she was ready, she'd make the move to do so. And here we are. She started her own private blog for her own wants, I offered her the opportunity to share her story on TNT Nutrition's blog platform. Jennifer's in charge of how much and how often she wants to share her story, so as she decides to share them, I'll be sure send out her blog entries because her story is quite incredible. I hope you all enjoy and can acknowledge the journey and hard work this amazing woman has gone through to get here.
Diary Entry #1: It's not difficult to see how I got into this mess with food. Following the rules of the diet game to win my very own thin and problem free body, seemed like a reasonable strategy to losing weight. After all, EVERYONE was doing it! I thought, if I just simply learned about human bodies and what they need, then I would learn to how to best nurture and provide for mine. One of the diets had to be the right one. Or at least one of the diets had to work for me! It makes sense. When I wanted to learn how to run faster, I read books on speed training. I followed the rules and saw results. So I guess after three decades of reading and planning and preparing for every diet and health craze I could get my hands on, I assumed I would have figured out how to effectively maintain my weight? Right? I mean all that science? All that math? Well, it's less than three months until my 40th birthday and I am calling it. GAME OVER. For all the time, effort and trial and error, I should have a doctorate but instead I'm still gaining and losing the same five to ten pounds over and over again. Until now that is. Up until about 3 weeks ago, all of this information had been completely useless to me because I kept failing to do the most important thing when it comes to figuring out how to maintain a healthy weight. I failed to trust and listen to my own body. I failed to ask myself first if any of the diet plans would work for me!I can't say why I am ready now and I am certainly not under the misconception that I won't stumble a bit or even crash into a wall going forward, but I'm willing to trust and embrace that wise and battle-tested warrior woman within. I'm finally ready to ask her first. She is all things me. The physical and spiritual, the intellectual, the sexual, the silly, clumsy, gullible, binge eater, the embracer, the manifester and everything in between. She knows it all and has been whispering her dynamic solutions to me for years and I can tell you that none of them were to continue to avoid carbohydrates regardless of how distended my constipated stomach had become. No. Her gentle suggestions are more along the lines of, Breathe. Are you actually hungry? And what do you know, there is some mindful eating literature out there to support her thinking. Now, I'm definitely not denying that knowledge about our bodies and nutritional needs is useless. Far from it. But if you are like me, maybe it's time to consider that your inner voice is the expert on you. So instead of looking all over the planet for some perfect solution to all of my dietary and weight issues for another three decades, I'm going to start by asking what my inner self things first. And then maybe I'll consider whether I've had enough protein today.

Previous Results: 2011 ¦ 2010 ¦ 2009 ¦ 2008
The club handicap is a members only series, that does not require any pre-entry and is open to all club members. All are welcome to participate from beginners to seasoned runners, including those who are not full members trying us out. However only fully paid up members scores will actually count. If you wish to participate, you just have to turn up to the normal club training session.
Runners start the race according to a handicap time calculated from a recent race. This is usually calculated from the previous handicap race or a recent race if a suitable time is not available. However, times are checked against recent race performances to prevent people running slow to gain an advantage for next time.
There has been a slight change to the format this year. Given the limited time left this year to complete our normal series, there will be just 4 races in this year - 2 at 2.33M and 2 at 4.89M. As usual, to be eligible to win, runners must complete a race at each distance, plus one other (3/4 races).
To help the event run smoothly, the organisers ask the following:
Overall Standings
Congratulations to the winners Terry Pike and Janice Page.
The overall series positions can be found here...
Individual Races
Race 1 (2.33M): 1st May ¦ Race Route ¦ Results
Race 2 (4.89M): 14th June ¦ Race Route ¦ Results
Race 3 (4.89M): 16th August ¦ Race Route ¦ Results
Race 4 (2.33M): 18th September ¦ Race Route ¦ Results
Apologies if any of these dates clash with any races you may have planned, but the commitee did its level best to spread the races out over the spring/summer period where weather/light conditions would be safe to run and avoiding the busy 5K/10K season. The later dates may be subject to change.

Local author shares out-of-body experience
Cedar Springs, resident Roger P. Beukema Jr. has lived quite a life. Now, with his new book, Living Beyond Myself: An Out-of-Body Testimony, he is sharing his story. The book was released May 18, 2018, and is available for purchase from www.fivecountpub.com, as well as on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Kindle store and through the Barnes and Noble Nook. Locally, the book is available at Perry's Place and Sue's Country Kitchen.
Roger was born with congenital heart disease back in 1956, when the science of fixing heart issues was in its infancy. Throughout his early life, he was in and out of the hospital constantly. It took 4 years before science was advanced enough to finally diagnose his problem. He was in the care of a team at Blodgett Hospital (now part of Spectrum), but the experimental surgery performed there in 1963 ultimately did not fix his ailing heart.
After searching endlessly, his mother, Tilia Beukema, was able to find a team in Chicago willing to take on his case. In yet another experimental surgery in early 1967, this time it was a success. Not without issue, though. During the surgery, Roger went into cardiac arrest. It was at this time, he says, his whole life changed. "Who I am now is not who I was. I am a new version Roger Beukema, with a new soul and new outlook on life."
Along with his heart issues, Roger has also suffered from many other maladies, including multiple accidents as a child and Multiple Sclerosis.
Despite such an incredible journey, he has mostly kept his story secret. That is, until now. "My father's dying wish was for me to share my story," Roger says. "I am happy that I have now been able to do this."
With the help of many, including Ritchard Bentley and Five Count Publishing, Roger's dream of putting his story together is finally a reality.
"I know Roger's been working on this project for years," Ritch says. Roger, in fact, has spent over a dozen years on the book. "I'm happy we have been able to help him finish the book. I believe Living Beyond Myself has a very powerful message that will resonate with everyone."

Asian Americans Want Their MTV World Back
Nusrat Durrani, the embattled visionary behind MTV World
Quick on the news of MTV World's demise, a number of activists have begun circulating a petition to save it.
Last month, in a start-of-the-year downsizing, Viacom eliminated MTV World, the 18-month experiment headed by Nusrat Durrani in niche channels targeting Asian American audiences. In July 2005, it launched MTV Desi for South Asian American audiences, following with MTV Chi for Chinese American audiences, and finally MTV K for Korean American audiences last year. A fourth channel, possibly for Pilipino Americans, was rumored to be on the drawing board.
None of the channels gained traction, but it could be fairly argued that they were never given the chance. The channels were accessible mostly through obscure "international" premium packages from DirecTV, and a mix of smaller cable networks.
Offering the channels through such "international" packages was a strategy that made the least sense. Such packages are usually purchased by older, wealthier immigrants who want to stay in touch with news and pop culture from "back home". But the entire MTV World experiment was predicated on the idea that the children of these immigrants–and their curious friends–would demand a completely different, much more eclectic, polycultural aesthetic. Yet very few options were available to allow this next generation to get their MTV World.
Expansion efforts were afoot when the axe came down. MTV World was about to offer a more robust set of websites, including some recognized bloggers (I was asked to be one, though I couldn't), and rumors circulated were that MTV World was about to offer cell-phone content. But there were no, say, ala carte options, which would have allowed young viewers to perhaps add MTV World into a mix of stations they might have wanted, like say, ESPN or MTVu.
To be sure, things change slowly in the cable world, and while there have been debates in Congress on the issue ala carte, no big change has yet been forthcoming. When I interviewed Durrani in late 2005, he was assembling a whipsmart staff, who would go on to do some very creative and relevant programming on a shoestring. Durrani was certain that MTV's leadership was well behind the project and that they understood it would not produce immediate returns, but take hold slowly.
Durrani is a visionary, and at the time, his thinking seemed to make a lot of sense. If MTV was to wedge itself into the Asian American market early, it could be in a great position to develop it and reap the whirlwind when it took off. This was the same thinking that had guided the creation of AZN-TV, a Comcast vehicle that now functions almost mechanically, and Imaginasian, the lovable independent NYC-based bootstrapping upstart.
But there were warning signs: AZN imploded almost as soon as it began, laying off almost all of its talented staff in one fell swoop early last year. Imaginasian–with a much different model than MTV World–has been growing organically and intelligently, but not at a rate that impresses Wall Street types.
In the end, MTV World heard from the mothership. Viacom's recent moves–especially its $1b lawsuit against Google/YouTube–seem to demonstrate that the company is reorienting itself to what it considers to be immediate threats in the internet space. (The fairly quiet relaunching of MTV and VH1's websites last year were the first part of this reorientation.) It's hard to get anyone to hear about the importance of a long-term investment–however small in the grand scheme–in as-yet unproven niche markets when Viacom's leaders are running around scared over Google/YouTube.
And so Asian American activists are taking a page from the multicultural wars of the 80s and 90s, and trying to demonstrate grassroots support for MTV World to the folks who run Viacom.
I think it's important to show support for any kind of community-oriented programming in these days of media consolidation and stock-market oriented decision-making. I just want to add that we need to champion our visionaries as well. There aren't too many like Nusrat Durrani out there anymore. Let's recognize what we've got.

Sean Bell Case Heats Up: Detectives Indicted, Protestors Arrested
Just off the wire: Two of the detectives–who accounted for 42 of the 50 shots–have been indicted on first- and second-degree manslaughter charges. One more detective is being indicted on a reckless endangerment charge.
Coverage is here:
However, many believe that there was enough evidence for the Queens DA to bring stronger murder charges.
As a result a new wave of protests has begun, already resulting in 4 arrests at the Queens' DA's office. Famed community activist and former Young Lord Panama Alba is among those arrested. Hundreds also gathered at Union Square this afternoon and marched down Broadway to City Hall, blocking traffic.
Here's the press release:
Activists Block Entrance to Queens Courthouse to
Protest DA's Failure to Indict All Cops in Bell Shooting
A group of activists today blocked the entrance to the Queens Courthouse at 125-01 Queens Boulevard, Kew Gardens, to protest the Queen's DA's failure to indict all the police officers involved in the murder of Sean Bell and the attempted murder of his two friends, Trent Benefield and Joseph Guzman.
"If the District Attorney is closing the doors of justice to the victims of these shootings, then we feel obligated to physically close the doors of justice to demonstrate our outrage with this criminal, criminal justice system," said one activist.
Members of the group also expressed concern that the trial would be moved out of New York City and will result in the acquittal of the indicted police officers as was the case with the police officers who killed Amadou Diallo. Additionally, they called for the immediate removal of Police Commissioner Kelly and NYPD Chief Anthony Izzo and an independent prosecutor for all cases involving police brutality/misconduct.
Activists are calling for a 5pm rally tomorrow evening at Union Square.

Rap's Holy Grail? :: Live Convention '77-79
That's right, 1977.
Old school afficianados know all about the Disc-O-Wax Live Convention 81 and 82 platters that captured the Fantastic Romantic, Flash, Mel, the Cold Crush and others off of street tapes that were circulating at the time. The records have become highly collectible and have been oft-bootlegged. For folks like me, who first heard these records all out of context during the mid-to-late 80s, they were proof early on that hip-hop had rich roots we had no idea about. The tapes were technically recorded after the record industry was into the rap thing a couple years, but the vibe–and the thrill of hearing live tapes–brought to our minds the energy of "Wild Style". Folks have since sampled the records over and over–including Blackalicious on "Swan Lake".
Now the Golden Reaal folks have brought to light what may be an even deeper story: that the first real Live Convention tapes weren't ever committed to wax! The story begins with a Bronx edit-master and engineer from the Soundview projects named Kenny Wilson.
Kenny loved hip-hop's beats and mixing, but, being a sound guy, was frustrated by the quality of his younger brother's live tapes. So he decided to recut the music straight to reel to reel tape, imitating the turntable trickery of folks like Grand Wizzard Theodore and DJ Kool Herc. Then he added the rap routines back over these clean remixed versions. The result is pure old school rap heaven, back when hip-hop wasn't something you could have a remote control relationship with. It's urgent, in-your-face, just lots of fun.
Unlikely stars–including folks who never made it to wax–emerge like Kool Kyle the Starchild and a young girl named MC Smiley of the Herculords. Kenny also cut sound bites from movies like "80 Blocks From Tiffany's" and anti-drug films over the music. If the story he tells is true, this could be one of the first proper mixtapes. (I'm sure there must have been home-recorded show demo tapes around, tho I've never heard stories of any.)
Here's his story:
Q: How did the Live Convention 77-79 mix happen?
A: …After they started releasing rap records by the end of '79, my brother and I figured we might be able to make some money by selling our mix. Reggie had already quit selling tapes as he was too busy with other hustles, but hearing rap on the radio got him back into it. He was seeing a girl who worked for a record store opposite the Celebrity Club at 125th street which was owned by Johnny Soul – may his soul rest in peace. Tanya told me Johnny wanted to talk to us after he heard what we were doing with the edits and all. So one day in the summer of 1980 she took us out there to see him. We brought him a cassette containing the best edits that I had done, and he was like hell yeah, I'll put this out, because he was also trying to get into the business of releasing rap records. He was cool with a lot of artists (such as Fantastic Five, ed.). He told us we would release a 'part 1' and 'part 2'. He made me go back to the drawing board to prepare the mix for release. It took me another six months before I could hand over the masters around January '81, over 3 years after I began editing. Remember all of this was done outside my regular day job at the studio.
Q: What was Johnny's part in the process?
A: Well, we basically left the business side up to him, which would include talking to the emcees [featured on the tapes], and obviously he would pay for the pressing, do the marketing and all. He also came up with the name Live Convention 1977 1979 and had someone do the cover art, which didn't really represent the amount of work we had put into the mix! It was a sketchy drawing of a deejay standing behind one turntable, not even two. Still, we was proud, even though we weren't even mentioned on the sleeve at all and we didn't know how much money was in it for us.
Q: So why were the records never released?
A: Two things happened: myself I had been looking to get away from NY. I had a girl who wanted to get married, thinking of having a baby and we didn't want to stay around the Bronx any longer. So when I got the chance to take a share in my uncle's electronics store in Richmond, VA, I accepted. The other thing was Johnny's store got robbed at gunpoint and together with some jewellery, they took two boxes with the master reels and the art work for our records!
Q: Why would anybody want to steal that stuff? Did you buy that story?
A: You know, it wouldn't have made a lot of sense for him to make that up. There were other reel-to-reels with rap recordings inside those boxes, but they were heavy, so the robbers must have known that they weren't taking any lunch money, haha. Reggie and I were pissed off but we couldn't do nothing about it. The story out in the streets was that it had to do with an unpaid debt. But we never saw those tapes back.
Q: And that was the end of it?
A: I had to concentrate on starting a new life away from NYC, so I couldn't go back to the studio to compile a new mix from the reels that we'd kept at the studio. Some of them had been recycled anyway. So I just left it. Reggie lost hope that our record would ever come out. After I moved to Virginia, two records came out by the same name we had picked: Live Convention 81 and 82, on Soul Wax / Disc-o-wax, which was Johnny's label. But the concept was totally different, he only used live cassette recordings and more recent stuff. No edits like I had done, so the sound wasn't that good at all!
(excerpt from the site and liner notes) Fast forward to 2004. At a liquidation auction in Newark (NJ), Jay of Golden Reaal buys the entire inventory of a former record store with the purpose of reselling the most wanted soul & funk items in the UK. Part of the lot is a number of boxes with dusty reel-to-reels which look as if they have sat there since the 80's. One box comes with artwork for an apparently unreleased album and a hand-written producer royalty contract. Jay also discovers five test pressings which are labelled 'Live Convention 77-79 volume A'. Aware that he may have discovered one of hip hop's holy grails, a predecessor of the legendary Live Convention albums, he calls up his partner who proceeds to inspect the reels and finds out that this is the real deal!
A search starts. Local phone directories and yellow pages to butchers, grocery stores and relatives finally lead to the man behind this production, who is living a quiet life with his family a few hundred miles from New York. A phone call puts Jay in touch with Kenny, who is surprised that anyone shows interest in his work, and even more so to find out that the lost tapes have resurfaced. When they meet in person, they agree the importance of this set makes it worth a re-release on the newly established label Golden Reaal records.
I honestly don't know how much of this can be verified, and I honestly don't have any reason to doubt its veracity. To me, the point is simple: the CD sounds fantastic. It's a must-hear.
If you have never heard some of these original live tapes, it's a mind-blowing experience. Even if you collect them, you will still be awed by how Kenny captures the feel of those tapes: the raw energy, the human mistakes, the crazy echo-chamber effects, all of that. It's just jaw-droppingly great.

Sorry we missed out on last week, but we are back and mostly survived our live episode this week. We mostly just focused on the previews from Amonkhet, some how we keep managing to only get one episode in each set looking at new cards, not sure how we manage that but it could probably be worse.
We also briefly touch on some of the story that has been developing for the set but we think we'll be focusing a bit more on that next episode, or simply recommending you go listen to Unspoken Realms, just remember production time is a thing so they're usually a few weeks behind.

You need to be aware that the average Chase mortgage refinance rate is 4.342%, which differs in value from that of the national average.

Think the DMV is all about long waits? Feds targeting workers issuing phony licenses
California DMV customers angry over rising wait times
California's Department of Motor Vehicles has become infamous in recent months for long lines, ancient computing technology and mismanagement of its Motor Voter registration program.
But those are hardly the only challenges facing the DMV.
The department also has become the epicenter of federal probes into DMV workers using computers to crack into citizen's confidential information to steal their identities, and clerks taking bribes to alter driver's license test results.
In the past seven years, at least 40 such prosecutions have been filed by federal prosecutors in Sacramento and Fresno, and similar cases have been filed throughout the state.
"It seems like a never-ending event," said McGregor Scott, the U.S. attorney in Sacramento whose office is prosecuting the cases. "This is happening over and over and over again."
The DMV says it has worked hard at fighting fraud inside its offices, and says the criminal cases being prosecuted are the results of its own investigations.
"The DMV Investigations Division conducts a thorough investigation of every complaint filed and takes action when an employee is found to be committing workplace fraud," the department said in a statement. "DMV works closely with U.S. Attorney offices statewide to ensure these employees are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
The cases run the gamut: truck driving school owners accused of bribing DMV clerks to alter driver's license test results; clerks accused of using their computer access to steal driver's identities and open credit card accounts in their names; and "brokers" acting as middlemen who pay off clerks in DMV parking lots.
The cases began showing up several years ago, but took a noticeable uptick last year, with prosecutors filing at least 20 since then against defendants, including the daughter of a DMV deputy chief of investigations and enforcement.
That suspect, Kari Scattaglia, was a manager who had worked for the DMV since 2007 and was accused of altering DMV computer records to show that applicants had passed tests when they had not, court documents say.
"All totaled, Scattaglia was responsible for the issuance of at least 68 fraudulent licenses, including permits," according to court documents filed with a plea agreement she entered into last year.
The DMV has said her father had nothing to do with her hiring or that case.
Federal officials say the probes, which have included undercover agents and has broadened to include investigators from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, has resulted in hundreds of driver's licenses being revoked.
Some of the cases have been resolved with guilty pleas, with sentences ranging from probation to four years in federal prison.
But many of them are still pending, including the latest one filed in Sacramento in December.
That indictment charges David Sun, the owner of a Richmond truck driving school, with conspiracy and fraud in an alleged scheme to get driver's licenses for students who failed written and behind-the-wheel tests with the help of a DMV employee.
The indictment says Sun advertised in online Chinese newspapers and websites for students to use his school, Commercial Driver Institute USA, and that he told them "that he could help them obtain a Class A or Class B commercial CDL, without the students having to take the written exam."
Sun is also accused of recruiting students from out of state, who then allegedly used the address of a home in Oakland to have the licenses mailed there.
"After the out-of-state students completed their testing for the CDL, they typically returned to their state of residence prior to the DMV mailing the official, hard plastic CDL to the California address the out-of-state students listed on their applications," the indictment says.
The licenses were then mailed to the out-of-state students, some of whom used their new California licenses to obtain an equivalent license in their own state, the indictment alleges.
Sun was arraigned in court in Sacramento on Oct. 12 and pleaded not guilty.
His lawyer, Patrick Hanly, said after court that Sun plans to go to trial and that there is no evidence to back up the charges. Hanly said investigators questioned a DMV employee whose computer sign-on was believed to have been involved in altering some records, but that the worker denied any knowledge of the matter.
"Where's the DMV guy?" Hanly asked. "That's a missing link."
Hanly added that when students complained to Sun that they were not passing their tests, "My guy said, 'Hey, you've got to study harder.'"

whole new perspective
I cannot say enough good things about the Alchemy of Yoga 200 Hr Teacher Training! I came to the program with very tangible, concrete goals – to finally get my crow pose, to learn how to breathe during yoga and to become more flexible. Oh, and of course, to receive my 200 RYT certification.
I left with so much more! I left with a better sense of self and an understanding that how I see myself is how the world sees me, so it's important that I constantly work to love myself and seek and build self-confidence. I learned that I have everything I need to be successful in life, whether that means as a teacher, as a student, as a business owner, friend, partner, etc. Silvia is incredibly knowledgeable and beyond generous with that knowledge. She teaches with love and understanding. She guides her students to explore who they are, to work through the shadows and to find the light within.
I was astounded at her ability to teach a 200 hr training all by herself – that's 200 hours of content, instruction, guidance and mentoring. It's almost as if she's super human. The Alchemy of Yoga team is so loving and supportive and will do anything to help their students achieve their goals and beyond. They share so much content and inspiration along the way. They are a crucial element to the strength of this program. I came to the program with tangible goals but I left with a whole new perspective and appreciation for yoga and for myself. Thank you, alchemy of yoga!!
Magical journey
Do you believe in magic? Well welcome :)! This training will help you find your magic. While diving deep into your journey of self. Be prepared to find yourself and leave behind the old you. I was trained in Bali and what a unique magical experience. Truly blessed for Alchemy of Yoga. A huge part to discovering my divinity and who I truly am.
I took Silvia's Teacher Training
I took Silvia's Teacher Training and highly recommend this experience for anyone seeking this certification. Silvia is a consummate professional with a multitude of talents as a trainer, but more than that she exemplifies everything that a true yogi should be: caring and compassionate with her students, living and breathing the yoga sutras both on and off the mat. As a certified personal trainer with my own business I also appreciate her organizational skills. In fact, I often think, "How does she do this all and do it so well?!" The answer is clear, she loves yoga and she loves to teach it to everyone from the new teachers she mentors to the students in every class. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to everyone with a passion and dedication for yoga that is willing to invest their time, heart and talent to the practice. Many blessings for the future!
I am impressed on how
I am impressed on how hard you try to meet everyone's schedule, it can't be easy. Thanks to your dedication and assurance I can flow through yoga poses, I am now actually playing with yoga more and listening to what my body inspires me to do instead of trying to do yoga like everyone else. Yoga has become so much more an enriching experience for me rather than a physical struggle. So many thanks, I am very grateful for all the help you have given me.
One year ago today I
One year ago today I began an amazing journey that has been the most rewarding, inspiring, and humbling of my life. I may have been an hour late to my first day of yoga teacher training but I've never stopped living my yoga since then. I am so immensely grateful to everyone who has made this decision such a life altering experience. To Silvia Mordini, who's capacity to inspire and share is only surpassed by her ability to smile. To my Kula for being the most perfect, beautiful, and diverse spectrum of souls to share this experience with. To my family and friends who supported me and my decisions even when they didn't seem to make so much sense. To all the other teachers I've been fortunate to practice with. And to all the wonderful people I've met in my travel, in life, and who've allowed me to share what I've learned. Thank you all. I love and appreciate you with every fiber of my being.
I still believe to this
I still believe to this day that doing the 200 hour yoga teacher training March of 2011 was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Silvia's program is unlike any other that I have heard of in that she spends an incredible amount of time and energy on helping her students learn more about themselves through the process of yoga, to then become the best and most authentic teachers they can be. I still practice with Silvia on a weekly basis, and am amazed at how she constantly brings in something new every time. As someone who loves to learn and is always trying to grow, I appreciate this highly creative quality in any teacher. I strongly recommend Silvia as a teacher for anyone who is wanting to learn more about yoga beyond the poses, and for anyone who is on a path toward self-discovery.
You = Love.
You = Love.
I want to thank you
I want to thank you for opening this whole new world for me. Through your knowledge, energy, and warmth, I was able to "Go Deeper" into myself. I never knew I had the courage to face the "boxes" that had been closed and locked up for such a long time. I know now I'm brave enough to face anything and I am forever grateful for that.
I discovered that I could
I discovered that I could travel alone, make great friends of all ages and backgrounds and could be my complete self. Silvia is more than a friend, she is my inspiration to follow a life I love and make no excuses.
Physically, mentally, and emotionally I
Physically, mentally, and emotionally I felt transformed. The physical components were great, as was the extremely healthy diet, and although I ate like I was on vacation, I came back feeling healthier and few pounds lighter from all of the yoga. Mentally, I was in a state of bliss from the amazing surroundings, stress free environment, and wonderful people I was able to share the experience with. Emotionally, I felt like I gained a greater understanding about what is really important and a greater sense of my life's purpose.
Calling Alchemy of Yoga a
Calling Alchemy of Yoga a yoga teacher training program does not do it justice. My three weeks in Costa Rica with Silvia and the Alchemy tribe and then the time after working on my practicum gave me a loving space and guidance to delve deep to truly find myself and my purpose. As a result of the in-depth study, I am more confident, more connected and more able to flow peacefully with the waves of life. I also developed some of the deepest and most profound friendships with members of my beautiful Kula, lifelong sisters and brother that support and love with so much heart. To say that Alchemy of Yoga is just a teacher training program does not even skim the surface of it. Yes, I came out of the program a yoga teacher, and yes I can teach yoga now, but more than that I can truly say that I live my yoga each day now (and have one seriously magical tribe that supports me in that path). Thank you Silvia for truly teaching me yoga!
Silvia Mordini is a teacher
Silvia Mordini is a teacher of teachers, and a wonderful mentor who compassionately evokes self-inquiry and transformation. Without a doubt, Silvia's friendship and mentorship have helped to shape my path to service, adventure, and stepping outwards of my bounds and into a world wide open.
Not only did Alchemy of
Not only did Alchemy of Yoga do a phenomenal job of introducing me to the history and study of yoga as well as the skills and information required to actually teach, but the program also provided me with an immersive understanding of Bali's deep, spiritual roots and traditions- all of which amplified my understanding of how yoga's teachings factor into daily life and cultures all over.

It's as though the Alchemy
It's as though the Alchemy of Yoga Kula takes you on the wild, magical ride that allows you to be one with your body, mind and soul. The training allows you to dive deep into your being and express your best self. It allows you to take the time you need to manifest your ideal world, and with the tools and experience of the Alchemy Team, they encourage you to take that leap into the unknown. Through all of the ceremonies, chanting, yoga, and learning, this experience was simply amazing. It allowed me to take the time I needed to take that next step and really do what I was meant to in this life. If someone was interested in taking anything Alchemy of Yoga related, I would say stop everything you're doing, book it and get ready for the most authentic, peaceful ride of your life 🙂
Amazing teachers who live and
Amazing teachers who live and teach with integrity, beyond the thorough material and teaching, smaller groups and a few extra days would have been nice, the preparation, follow up, and program are amazing and I feel confident as a teacher after having the good fortune to study with Emily and Silvia. Amazing location and service and the program as a whole was very organized. 108 bows of gratitude.
Silvia Mordini & Emily Perry
Silvia Mordini & Emily Perry were outstanding teachers & mentors. Every day was filled with love & excitement, learning, and awareness. I am a changed person because of this amazing teacher training program. The resort was top notch & the support from these two was over the top. They are loving and caring human beings whom truly want to "Teach Peace." I will and have already recommended them to many of my friends.
My physiological and psychological experience
My physiological and psychological experience was amazing. After attending yoga classes, I feel fortunate that I learned so much about the physiology of our body as its fundamental in teaching yoga. Self-healing was a huge component of my experience.
Alchemy of Yoga provided foundational
Alchemy of Yoga provided foundational training and comprehensive teaching that allowed each student to fully come to inhabit the seat of the teacher with the feeling of readiness to transmit the knowledge and love of yoga to others.

Simply THE BEST! Silvia Mordini's dedication and wisdom is beyond. It is the most rewarding investment you can make. I would do it over and over again!
The transformational journey Silvia and
The transformational journey Silvia and Emily took me on was one that has forever changed my life. I am so grateful for this experience, and I cannot wait to take my practice further.
It was an amazing experience
It was an amazing experience to do a teacher training in Bali. Silvia is a very knowledgeable, passionate and a connected yoga instructor/ teacher and I have learned so much. There were full days but well worth every penny. We also had a number of opportunities to experience the culture, people and beauty of Bali. So a very balanced teacher training program. Namaste!
I entered teacher training just
I entered teacher training just hoping to deepen my practice but the reality is I graduated as a whole new me. This was an adventure that pushed, challenged and encouraged me to grow. In a matter of months I became more self-aware and self-confident than any time in my life. I wasn't surrounded by a group of students that wanted to perfect their asanas. I joined a Kula (a community of the heart), an extended family that offered unconditional support and inspiration. I am grateful to Silvia Mordini for the professional, organized and extremely informative yoga training, but I am eternally indebted to Silvia for creating a safe space for growth and helping open my eyes to my potential!
I wanted to teach yoga
I wanted to teach yoga because I have personally experienced the power it has to change lives. I so deeply wanted to share this magic with people – especially students my age who I saw struggling and fighting with life instead of living it. I am endlessly grateful to Silvia for teaching by example to live life with love for others, and more importantly with big love for yourself. One of the most beautiful parts about this teacher training for me was that the more I learned, the more I realized this is just the beginning of an even greater journey. Silvia has provided me the inspiration to continue flowing through my own evolution. I can truly say with my whole loving and honest heart, that embarking on this "self-study" has been the best decision I have ever made.
You have such a gift
You have such a gift for teaching and such of depth of knowledge and training, in both the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga. And you clearly embody all that you teach, I admire your sense of peace, calm, and thoughtfulness – you are beautiful inside and out – I want to bring more of these attributes into my life.
Two words to describe the
Two words to describe the Alchemy Yoga program… Beautifully Centered. I have never felt so supported, beautiful, grounded, or inspired in my life. The Alchemy program is designed to help you acquire the knowledge needed not just to teach yoga, but to really live yoga. This program goes far far beyond the poses, it steams into who you are as a person and how to be the most authentic you. Once you start to fold back the layers of who you are, then the real teaching in this program beings. I have never felt so safe in being who I am before. Silvia's wisdom and ridiculous sense of play and humor keeps things fun and airy. This program has instilled in me the confidence I need to be a great yoga teacher. That confidence doesn't come mastering all the poses but from being your most authentic you which you learn is the most important part of being a great teacher. I am more than thankful for this training. It was an absolutely amazing experience and I would hands down recommend the Alchemy Yoga training to anyone who is interested in truly and honestly teaching yoga!
You are such a wonderful
You are such a wonderful person and a gifted teacher! I am truly blessed to have found you and am honored to be one of your students. I look forward to continuing my teaching and inspiring others as you have inspired me. Thank You for everything!
I honestly recommend this training
I honestly recommend this training for anyone who enjoys practicing yoga and is interested in personal development and growth. It is an amazing journey you take to know yourself and have a better understanding of who you are. A beautiful, enlightening experience that I would do all over again. It has developed, supported and empowered me in my life.
You are a gifted teacher,
You are a gifted teacher, philosopher and it is truly a blessing to learn from you. With love and gratitude.
Silvia – is a a
Silvia – is a a special teacher, the kind who shows each student how to find their own inner "guru" or wisdom. "Alchemy of Yoga's" teacher training did more than just help me to deepen my own yoga practice, it increased my abilities of self-reflection and intuition. With Silvia's guidance, I learned how to apply the philosophical and physical teachings of yoga towards all aspects of my life. The skills we practiced together help me to live each moment connected to my inner truth and I feel more, free, happier and radiant than ever. Thank you Silvia!
Silvia – I am so
Silvia – I am so grateful for your love, light & inspiration. Thank you for being you & for instilling such grace & virtue in all that you do!
One of the best things
One of the best things I have ever done for myself was take the Alchemy of Yoga Teacher Training. It was life changing in many ways. Not only did I get incredible teaching from one of the best yoga instructors in the industry but I also became a part of a wonderful kula that was also so much a part of my growth and learning. If you have the chance to train with Silvia Mordinin, you will be amazed – she is the best of the best. I'm blown away every time I take one of her classes and to be able to take her training was amazing. Taking this training is something I am very grateful for and proud of. If you have the chance – take it!
Alchemy of Yoga Teacher Training
Alchemy of Yoga Teacher Training provided me with the skills to sit confidently and authentically in the seat of the teacher.

The way of life and
The way of life and love that I studied at Total Body Yoga, under the brilliant and inspiring tutelage of the TBY staff helped my physical practice grow by leaps and bounds (and headstands and arm balances). But the real treasure I unearthed is the philosophy, teaching methodology, meditation, pranayama, and my own and other's inner divine. I would recommend the teacher training program at TBY to anyone who wants to teach or deeply delve into the rewarding practice of yoga. Thank you for everything.
I want to thank you

I just finished the 200 hour program and I can honestly say that my life is changed for the better. What an amazing, unexpected experience of new friends, new connections, and a deeper understanding of what it means to know and love yourself. If you're in the Seattle area and have even thought of doing a teacher training once I would encourage you to look into this program. With so much love!
When I first began to
When I first began to realize that I wanted to learn more about yoga and pursue teacher training, it wasn't necessarily driven by the urge to learn more asana. Rather, I wanted to develop my understanding of the non-physical aspects of yoga that a typical 60-minute class simply doesn't have enough time to explore past a certain level. As I first read through the program description, I felt an alignment with that I wanted to learn. Alchemy of Yoga provided a platform for self-exploration and development through study of the chakra system, ayurveda, meditation, pranayama, the Yoga Sutras, and other aspects of yoga philosophy. I think of the quote, "Yoga is a journey of the self, through the self, to the self." What I've embraced from these teachings will stay with me forever, as Alchemy of Yoga provided a safe and supportive environment for me to look inward, allowing me to rediscover my inherent happiness. I am no longer afraid to express the best possible version of myself. On a day-to-day basis, I have embraced a daily yoga and meditation practice and incorporated several ayurvedic practices into my life. One of my favorite aspects of yoga is that the learning never ceases and the journey I began with Alchemy of Yoga is only the start! Alchemy of Yoga generously provides reading lists and resources for you to continue your learning well past the completion of teacher training. Since teacher training has ended, I have continued to make my way through the reading list and find myself regularly referring back to my training manual. There are also playlists, class plans, and other teacher related resources available to support you as you continue to teach and grow. In terms of the physical dimension of yoga, Alchemy of Yoga provided detailed training on anatomy and physiology through Silvia Mordini's and Casey Petersen's combined wealth of knowledge and experience. Through their instruction, I became more aware of build and mechanics impact asana and modifications to promote safety and sustainability of practice. In terms of teaching, I learned how to structure classes through wave theory, how to build meaningful themes, how to language classes and cues and incorporate music to match the tone of the class. We were given ample opportunity to practice throughout the course of teacher training while receiving effective and supportive feedback from our instructors and peers. Since having graduated and in teaching yoga classes, I see how effective these theories are in practice. It has provided me with a consistent way to approach class planning that allows for an infusion of my creativity and inspiration. On another note, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the teacher trainee tribe or kula. Silvia and Casey brought together a group of amazing women – many of which I probably would have never had the opportunity to know in other circumstances. On the first day of teacher training, Silvia and Casey established a community of sisterhood, trust, support, and acceptance. I've made lifelong friends and bonds, and for that I'm grateful. Along a similar vein, the mentorship and support from Silvia, Casey, Laura, and the rest of the Alchemy of Yoga staff remains available with open-arms. While yoga began as a personal pursuit, I quickly noticed the reverberations it had in my relationships and how I relate to the world. Alchemy of Yoga has inspired and empowered me to share with others the impact that yoga has in a more intentional and heartfelt way. With gratitude.

Here we are in Paddington station fresh off our flight.
Kensington Palace was Princess Diana's main residence, and this is part of the front gates where everyone piled their flowers & such when she died.
This is Jeff & Christeena's place that they were so nice to share with us. It made it that much more fun to return 'home' after a long day of sight-seeing & hang out with them. They took such great care of us.
I've probably said this twenty times by now, but it really was a completely FABULOUS trip.
I feel so blessed that we were able to do it.
Marlee has now decided she wants to live in London when she's done with school. Or Ireland. Or France. She's seriously been bitten by the travel bug since this trip. Or maybe she just wants to get far, far , away from us.......... either way she'll need to start saving up now!

Honey, we're Surrounded
We went back on our usual 'out the back door walk' today and were amazed to come upon an elk herd of at least FIFTY cows and babies. There were so many it was almost creepy. When they'd move on it was a sea of elk!
The babies were making this eerie squealing noise whenever they moved. We didn't see a bull elk but he had to be there.
We stayed far enough away that Molly didn't get worked up. Besides she'd already gotten a little beat up by a neighbor's mastiff at the start of the hike. But that's another story.
We tried our best to keep out of the elk herd's way-- it's so amazing they've decided to stay on our mesa top. But it seemed wherever we went, there they were. In fact Jon said, "Let's just sit here, and see if they come back this way."
Sure enough they did!
It was really thrilling.

That's so neet that you get to see so many animals up close.
Do you think your experience with horses makes you more approachable to other herding animals? Maybe you've mastered a stay calm, I won't hurt you body language?
Sorry to hear Molly got into a scrap with a Mastiff. Were they just playing rough? Or was it a fight? Glad she wasn't badly hurt.

I spelled "neat" with two Es? And didn't notice the spellchecker line?
Time for me to step away from the computer...

Sounds like you are having a cool time. Are you both basically retired. It seems you have tons of time to enjoy life?

Sally, you're living in a magical place except for the mastiff. Even the word "mastiff" is kind of scary.

fearless, FYI: Sally is not retired. I'm trying my best to set her up with an ingenious business partner.

Namowal, the mastiff skirmish was just playing rough, and the mastiff's owner tackled him.
I don't know why sometimes the elk are approachable and sometimes not, but I don't have any special skills. I mean, we walk quietly and try to stay out of their zone.
fearless, Jon says he's retired so he doesn't have to read any scripts, but if a good one actually came along things might change.
As for me, I'm in the state they used to call "at liberty." Still waiting for my big moment.
