Queer cinema, whether you choose to describe it as a genre of its own or just an overall title for those movies focusing on same gender affectionate or trans-identifying people, has been on the rise since the start of the 21st century. Although it is questionable how much of a rise a rise that makes you go from "very little" to "slightly less little" can be, and it is undeniable that the movie industry is still so behind on the experience of queer culture and life, just as any other minorities; the addition of films from A Single Man to The Handmaiden, The Pariah to Carol, Keep The Lights On to Milk or Tangerine has been a clear leap of both faith and success for the cultural spectrum. 2016's Moonlight can be considered as the single best example of this exposure, as the only movie to ever win best picture with a queer relationship as its focus.
So it was a logical framework that made me assume that I would see many more queer movies in the 2017 rendition of Film Ekimi, a week-long film festival in Istanbul that lets its viewers watch many movies that otherwise wouldn't come to theatres in a widespread release or even if they did come, that would be months later. Going bling without any knowledge of what most of these screenings were, I was only aware that Call Me by Your Name, a movie that was very much considered considered controversial in some social media circles for the ages of its main roles and revolutionary by others because of its portrayal of first love, would be coming to the festival.
After an hour long anxiety ridden trial of buying tickets, I had only the tickets to witness that, but also three other movies focusing on queer existence, each from a very different perspective. There was A Fantastic Woman, which was a magnificent story of magical realism and gender identity. There was Thelma, a horror tale on female sexuality and religion's role in its repression. And of course, there was Call Me by Your Name, a scenery filled story of love and heartbreak. All three of them were beautiful movies, or dare I say great, for various reasons ranging from their scenarios to cinematographies; but none had the effect on me that another movie, named 120 BPM, had. A reaction of tears and a void left inside my body.
And before going on into my review of the movie, I'd like to say something. I am not going to claim that my thoughts on this movie, nor my review of it, are objective, because they aren't. The timeframe of it, as well as the plot, talks about a section of queer history that is filled with extreme pain and sorrow, as well as courage and power. And this is not to imply that it is a film that can only be really liked by LGBT people, but the historical and cultural significance it has for the community is an undeniable fact when it comes to the contextualization of the subject. Directed by Robin Campillo and starring Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Arnaud Valois and Adèle Haenel in its main roles, its story — co-written by Campillo and Philippe Mangeot, who were both activists of ACT UP once — follows the group's inner and outer struggles while they try to create an impactful form of resistance against the pharmacy companies and the government, as well as showcasing a romantic relationship between two of its main roles. It is a long movie, 140 minutes filled with club scenes and transitions of dust particles, including many flashbacks and also a memorable sexual intercourse scene that lasts for nearly eight minutes.
120 BPM opens with a flashback, but also a discussion in a small room, and also the introduction to our main character; Nathan. The viewer, just like Nathan — who is at his first ACT UP meeting — is thrown into a chaotic conversation of different sociological ideologies, as well as different propositions to carry out those different ideologies. The crowded lecture hall, located somewhere in Paris, is filled with loud voices and whistles; as the scene differs between a darkly-lit onstage assault of the time's health secretary and the perspectives of the attack told by various participants. There's a rush to it, even from the first second, a psychical tension that is unmet in the more pacifist discussions of today's social awareness and respectability politics. It captivates you with its fake blood filled balloons and handcuffings in minute one, and continues to do that with real blood and many other handcuffings in the next hundred minutes to come.
Make no mistake, this is a dark and frightening movie, the director tells us with that very scene, but it is not dark because it has monsters or gun-wielding murderers in it. It is dark because it tells the history of darkness, or friends and lovers dying and weakening, of fear and ashes. It is frightening because it has to be: it was frightening back then, and it has to be frightening now. And with that, BPM makes its first signature for me: it doesn't sugarcoat the problem, it doesn't make it more "representable". This is not a movie that looks at its victims as just sufferers: they're also people – people who are angry and sometimes irrational. Campillo's and Mangeot's personal perspective of the time does incredible things for the enigmatic characterizations of their creations. We see them commit crimes and violently protest, we see the anger in their eyes and the unfounded sparkles of hope, and we see them do things that we, right now, may not agree; as the group vandalizes a drug company office that is told to be working on a cure, as one of them hisses at a representative that tells them he understands their fear, as they make fun of the guys in suit that claim to be helping them. They are alienated, they are radical, they are afraid: there's no going around of it.
BPM's first half is, for most part, universal. It is a play of ensemble roles, many of whom are positive, and positive in different parts of their lifes and positive with different conditions to survive in. One of them, Jérémie — who is played wonderfully by Ariel Borenstein — is much younger than the people he shares the lecture hall with. He comes to the meetings with his mother, and he is one of the first casualties. His child-like features is most likely a sadistic play on the casting director's part, as one cannot honestly tell if the boy is fifteen or twenty. None of the options make his suffering more acceptable. Here, the question movie provides is mostly political: how radical is too radical, when your community is suffering and no-one seems to care? Is it better to do it by Sophie's way: to carry out a peaceful protest and hope to be written in next day's newspaper, or follow Sean's spontaneous style: manhandling someone so that you know that you're going to be written in the next day's newspaper, even if its language is alienating. The movie doesn't give a definitive answer, because there is none, as life usually doesn't have black-and-white dilemmas. AIDS epidemic was a political and social conflict, but it was a personal one too; and with the very problematic nature of identity politics, the emotional response to one's pain doesn't always align with the logical solution.
Though, the movie has its victory moment when it moves to the second part, and we observe the blossoming romantic relationship between Nathan (played by Arnaud Valois) and Sean (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart). One of them is positive, the other is not; one of them is hopeful, the other is reserved, one of them is new to ACT UP, the other is not. Sean gains his humanity after the first thirty minutes of the movie, when the camera does more than just to show his finger snaps or angry arguments. In a moment, Biscayart becomes the absolute best thing about the whole production, as the audience start to follow his ups and downs. The love between these two characters is something so refreshing even it its own category: it doesn't focus on coming out, or the question of "will-they-won't-they". Even in the first few instances of unease and anxiety, they hold each other tightly. There are two scenes in particular here that in my opinion deserve being mentioned: one is among the lighter moments of the film, as they go to beach at the height of Sean's sickness, and the other is just before his death. Both are close and personal, even making you feel as if you're violating their privacy. A feeling of something unique fills the screen. It might be love, or it might be just the need to create an emotional connection when you need it the most. It doesn't matter.
The film in itself can be depicted as many genres — of course, outside of its queer identity — it is a love story as well as a drama, a coming of age fiction and a dark horror of human condition, but most importantly, a dramatic narration of reality in its clearest sense. This understanding of "clearest sense" follows the audience in every turn, every use of music — or lack thereof — and of course, the movie's duration, which was the single most mentioned thing that made the production imperfect. Many people, with righteous reasoning, thought that the last thirty minutes of the movie was unnecessary in their dragging of emotional outcome. For me, on the other hand, the overwhelming slowness of the mourning with its silence and darkness; as well as the little signs of life moving on, was one of the best parts of the movie, on the sole reasoning that it made me uncomfortable, and that discomfort made me look into something deeper than just what many versions of storytelling would think as the "ending".
Going into the movie, I knew that it would end in someone's death. Of course someone was going to die, and it was most probably going to be someone important, it was a movie about the AIDS epidemic. But it doesn't. It continues after Sean's death, because life continues after the death of someone you love, whether it be your son or lover or friend. And yes, it is a messy movie in some parts, but life is too.

More sports must copy cycling's clean-up
Sport will never win the fight against drug cheats, says John Fahey, president of the World Anti Doping Agency (Wada).
In the post-Lance Armstrong era, trust in sport has never been in shorter supply. Cycling might have lived by its own lawless code for much of the past decade, but deception on that scale has caused us all to pause, reflect and ask ourselves: can we really believe what we are seeing?
"We're wasting our time. We are saying 'you've got an immunity to cheat' if they know there is a very remote likelihood that they'll ever have to give a blood sample"
John Fahey
Wada president
In that sense, Fahey's apocalyptic assessment is designed to deliberately exaggerate the scale of the problem. He is, after all, the head of an organisation whose existence relies on the presence of athletes prepared to risk all by taking performance-enhancing drugs. Cops need bad guys.
But it also reflects the growing frustrations with the testing system, highlighted by the way
Armstrong and his team-mates flouted the rules.
By staying one step ahead of the doping control officers, who had no chance of detecting the sophisticated blood-spinning techniques, they were free to pursue their chemically enhanced careers.
As the outstanding investigation into Armstrong by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) has demonstrated, testing can only get you so far.
But even the most cursory glance at the statistics for blood testing – the only effective way of checking for blood doping and use of human growth hormone (HGH) and erythropoetin (EPO) – tells you that many sports are simply not operating the sort of system that will help restore trust.
Cycling has got the message. It had no choice. According to Wada statistics for 2011 (the most up to date available), 35% of all drugs tests conducted were blood tests, including the recently introduced blood passport samples, which monitor a cyclist's levels to check for anything suspicious.
Athletics is also pretty good – 17.6% of tests in 2011 were blood tests – but many of the major sports are way behind.
Take tennis. According to Wada figures (which only record tests carried out at Wada-accredited labs) authorities conducted just 3% of their doping control tests on blood last year.
The International Tennis Federation say the real number is nearer 6% because of tests conducted at non-accredited labs. But that is still relatively small and
concerns were raised recently by Andy Murray and Roger Federer at the lack of testing.
Neither went so far as to suggest tennis was rife with drugs cheats. Relative to cycling, success is perhaps less reliant on lung-busting endurance, with co-ordination, racquet control and skill a big part of the picture.
That said, Murray and Federer argue more blood tests would be welcome to encourage greater confidence in the sport's top players. And, as anyone who watched the Australian Open final last January knows, this is a sport that is making increasing physical demands on its top players.
It's a similar story in football, where just 3% of tests were blood tests, boxing (3.5%) and gymnastics (1%).
Here's what Fahey, a former Australian politician who fronted Sydney's successful bid for the 2000 Olympics, thinks of that: "We are wasting our time. We are letting people through the loop. We are saying 'you've got an immunity to cheat' if they know there is a very remote likelihood that they'll ever have to give a blood sample.
"That doesn't work for any programme. It doesn't work as a deterrent and it doesn't work to catch the cheats."
During our interview in Paris this month, I asked him whether the low number of blood tests in some sports was a failure of leadership. He replied emphatically: "Yes, I can't argue with that."
So what do sports like tennis and football say?
They argue the cost of blood-testing is prohibitive, the window for collecting and analysing tests small, and the number of substances detected limited. They also say there is little point in using a test for EPO or HGH when all the intelligence and research suggests the problem is not with endurance drugs like those but with other more traditional strength boosters such as testosterone or, in the case of football in particular, recreational drugs.
But it's not like tennis or football, to name just two, are short of a few bob. They could easily afford to use some of the billions of pounds they earn in TV and sponsorship income to increase blood testing.
With the development of more effective tests there is a trend towards more blood tests and the use of biological passports. During the Olympics and Paralympics, around 1,000 of the 6,250 tests conducted used blood samples and Fahey is pushing for all sports to hit a minimum of 10%.
So far there seems to be resistance.
Last week a move by the Wada executive board to get this minimum requirement included in the 2013 update of the Wada code was not adopted. There remains significant opposition to setting such a high threshold.
Carrying out more blood testing might not prevent another Armstrong-like conspiracy but it would at least send a message that sport and its ruling bodies are taking the threat more seriously.

Grey-Thompson on Armstrong panel
British Paralympic great Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson has been appointed to the three-person commission that has been set up by the International Cycling Union (UCI) to investigate the Lance Armstrong affair.
The chairman of the panel will be former Court of Appeal judge Sir Philip Otton, with Australian lawyer Malcolm Holmes being the third member of the independent body.
The UCI set up the commission in response to
a damning report from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada)
into a decade of cheating by Armstrong and his team-mates.
"The commission's report and recommendations are critical to restoring confidence in the sport of cycling and in the UCI as its governing body"
Pat McQuaid
UCI president
That report, published in October, resulted in the American
being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles,
but it also seriously called into question the UCI's actions over the period.
It is against this backdrop that John Coates, the president of the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the Australian Olympic Committee, was asked by UCI president Pat McQuaid to compile a shortlist of credible candidates for the commission.
McQuaid welcomed Friday's announcement of the panel, and thanked Coates for "assembling such a high calibre and truly independent commission".
"The commission's report and recommendations are critical to restoring confidence in the sport of cycling and in the UCI as its governing body," he added.
"We will co-operate fully with the commission and provide them with whatever they need to conduct their inquiry and we urge all other interested stakeholders to do the same.
"We will listen to and act on the commission's recommendations."
Otton retired from the Court of Appeal in 2001 but has since worked as an arbitrator in a number of high-profile sports cases in Formula 1, football and America's Cup sailing.
Grey-Thompson won 16 Paralympic medals, including 11 golds, during her athletics career and is now a member of the House of Lords.
The commission will meet in London 9-26 April 2013, and aim to submit its report to cycling's governing body by 1 June.

Team Sky seek Euro training base
Team Sky boss Dave Brailsford is looking for a permanent European training base for his Tour de France-winning squad.
The British-registered team are officially based at Manchester's National Cycling Centre, home to the GB Olympic and Paralympic set-ups.
Team Sky's coaches, riders and support staff are spread across Europe, meeting only for training camps and races.
"Our next step at Team Sky is to find a proper training base," said Brailsford.
"I'm a big fan of centralised [training] models. It's the contact time that is invaluable, and those informal decisions in cafes that become great ideas.
"What you want to create is an environment where there is a quest for continuous improvement: a culture of excellence where everyone knows that in 12 months' time 'I've got to be better than I am now'. That's easier to create under one roof."
The centralised model has worked well for
track cycling, while there are hopes that the benefits of training together in Manchester will soon be reaped by the BMX squad.
Road cycling, however, is clearly a different proposition, and Brailsford acknowledges the "architecture" of his new base will have to reflect that.
There will be less need for actual bricks and mortar than in Manchester, and the template will be similar to the academy British Cycling once ran from Quarrata in Tuscany. That was a fairly Spartan affair – Bradley Wiggins and co will expect a little more comfort – but the base does not have to be a grand complex.
What Team Sky really need, the 48-year-old coach believes, is access to a variety of terrain, good roads, nice weather and a well-connected airport.
Team Sky, along with many other professional teams, currently use the Spanish islands of Mallorca and Tenerife for training camps, but Brailsford wants something more central and tangible.
A possible option would be to base the team around a well-situated city like Girona, in Spain, where many overseas cyclists spend their seasons there already.
The French city of Nice is perhaps a more likely choice for a Team Sky base, as it is close to Monaco, already home to the
team's probable next Tour de France leader Chris Froome
and many other top cyclists.

LeMond leads drugs pressure group
Three-time Tour de France champion Greg LeMond has joined a pressure group that is demanding a radical reform of the sport's approach to anti-doping.
Change Cycling Now has been set up by a cycling sponsor, former riders, journalists and anti-doping experts.
The most recent, and damaging, doping case involved
seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong.
"The Lance Armstrong affair has to be a watershed moment for professional cycling," said LeMond.
"There is still an opportunity to ensure cycling presents itself as a genuine world leader in the elimination of doping in sport.
"But to do that requires a determination to force change and I am delighted to be part of a group that is full of people who are committed for the cause."
The involvement of LeMond, who voiced his suspicions about Armstrong long before he was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by the UCI, is a coup for CCN as he is one of a select group of recent Tour champions to be untarnished by allegations of drug use.
The 51-year-old Californian has been increasingly outspoken in recent years about the UCI's failure to address the culture of doping that has so badly damaged cycling's credibility, and last month he
called for UCI president Pat McQuaid to resign.
LeMond's three Tour victories – 1986, 1989 and 1990 – arguably broke cycling outside its traditional European heartlands, and they certainly had a huge impact in North America.
Some experts have even suggested Armstrong's rise to domination of the sport a decade later would not have been possible without LeMond's trailblazing example.
With Armstrong now stripped of his titles, LeMond is once more the only American to win cycling's greatest race.
CCN meets for the first time in London this weekend, when LeMond will be joined by the group's co-ordinator Jaimie Fuller, who is chief executive of sports clothing firm SKINS, Australian blood-doping expert Dr Michael Ashenden, and Emma O'Reilly, Armstrong's former masseuse at his US Postal team and early whistle-blower on his cheating.
Other leading names to have added their support to CCN include two-time world champion Gianni Bugno and the boss of the Garmin-Sharp team Jonathan Vaughters, another former colleague of Armstrong's at US Postal.
"LeMond's involvement should send the clearest message yet that we are a serious group with serious intentions and genuine motives," said Fuller, whose firm is suing the UCI for damage to its brand caused by the Armstrong scandal.
"But the sheer fact all these people are prepared to give up their time reflects both their passion and desire to see cycling achieve the best outcome."

The wonderful world of Grindr. The nation's most popular 'dating' app. Now I'm not here to lay down some story about some hookups I had. I mean Wattpad exists for a reason, doesn't it? When I first got grindr, which was about a year ago, I was slightly excited. I was a young up and coming gay teen who wanted to be someone who was in on the hookup 'scene'. Well most of the time hooking up isn't as "glamorous" or as " hot" you'd like it to be. As an awkward teen who doesn't do really well with people he does not know, I've come to grace you with a short little essay on some pro tips I 'learned' along the way.
Anyone who uses "fun" as a euphemism for sex is just really someone you should avoid. Trust me someone who thinks play=sex is just someone you don't want to bother with because if they lack the maturity to say F*&#$ then why even bother right? I mean there are plenty of cute patient guys who are just sitting there waiting for the right nice guy to come along (one who doesn't use the word "fun" as a euphemism for sex of course) so they can get this dating thing right; and actually go on a date, in a public place, WHERE PLENTY OF PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU.
This maybe grindr 101 for some people, but old guys are everywhere; you can never escape the gray plague it's going to catch up with you, but luckily your buddy Greg is here to save the day. Most of these guys have already been full-blown adults and have seen plenty of sh*t so don't be so rude and just let em down gently you know? Whenever I get a message from an old guy I always give em' the old "sorry I'm not interested buddy" and they usually go away. For those creeps that send you nudes or ask to suck you off or something like that, you can just automatically block them. It's not worth responding if the person is just rude and inconsiderate about what you want and what you're looking for even if you extensively explain it on your profile. Don't give creeps the time of day but don't be rude to those guys who are actually gentlemen.
Don't get on Grindr if you aren't sure of what you want and do not under any circumstance get on just to lose your virginity. I do not care how hard it has been to find a boyfriend or how sad and empty your first time should be with someone you didn't the first slut yourself out to. There is some class in that and trust me, it's plenty a good thing. Sex is awkward it will probably be awkward for some and some guys are just into it, they just know how to go through the motions. Some guys are only on Grindr for quick sex. Don't give yourself to a guy just to get some quick gratification, having a boyfriend is just always better in the long run.
As I mentioned earlier, I wrote this as advice towards those young people out there who in that cold gray area of sex and sexuality and romantic relationships and all that other fun stuff. If you don't think you're ready that's totally fine. What you do as an adult is your business but keep in mind that what you have done as a minor is more likely to have bigger ripples into adulthood.

The saying goes that 'you win some, you lose some'. That was the case with last week's start/sit article. I won some (QB's) and I lost some (WR's). While all 4 suggestions at QB worked out well, only half of the WR calls worked out in some capacity. Take the wins with the losses and the ups with the downs and move along.
Start 'Em QB
Bengals QB Andy Dalton VS TB
I called for sitting Dalton last week and if you listened, you were rewarded. This week, I expect a bounce back at home VS a bad Bucs defense. This game should have a good amount of scoring and I think Dalton will move the ball at will on the Bucs. Look for a big bounce back week for Dalton and the Bengals offense as a whole.
Bucs QB Jameis Winston @ CIN
This suggestion comes with a good amount of caution. I am worried about Winston going into Cincinnati because the Bengal usually play good defense at home. Couple that with the fact that Jameis is still pretty turnover prone and there is some cause for concern. My argument is that the weapons Winston has to work with will prevail and vault Winston into yet another week of QB1 territory. It's risky, but it will be worth it.
Sit 'Em QB
Broncos QB Case Keenum @ KC
Last week was a nice little bounce back for a Broncos team that thinks they can make the playoffs. Well Denver, get ready to get smacked in the face by reality. I want no part of any mediocre QB going into Arrowhead stadium and playing a Chiefs team that can maul people on their home turf. Stay far away from Keenum this weekend.
Giants QB Eli Manning VS WAS
Hey Eli looked pretty great last week, almost throwing for 400 yards! That won't happen again…maybe ever for poor Eli. Washington has done a very good job shutting down QBs not named Drew Brees this season. While Eli usually performs well against his division rivals, I think this game is going to be a low scoring affair. Look elsewhere if you have Eli rostered.
Start 'Em WR
Raiders WR Jordy Nelson VS IND
That is new Raiders Wide Receiver number 1 Jordy Nelson thank you very much. Nelson will now take over as the top receiver on the Raiders' depth chart and he has a pretty good matchup against a porous Colts secondary. I think Nelson already has pretty good chemistry with Carr and he will now get even more targets with Cooper gone.
Patriots WR Josh Gordon @ Buffalo
With his role growing more and more each week, Josh Gordon is starting to turn into the receiver I expected him to be. He's also starting to turn into the receiver opponents of New England have feared. Gordon has earned Brady's trust. He will draw Tre White at times during the Monday night game but I simply don't care. I know the Gordon breakout game is coming and it practically happened last week (4 catches for 100 yards). I think Gordon breaks out on Monday Night with a huge game. Start him from here on out.
Sit 'Em WR
Panthers WR Devin Funchess VS BAL
I want no part of any WR playing against what could be the best secondary in the league. The Ravens lost a heartbreaker last week and will be determined to impose their will on Carolina. This should be a defensive ball game so both offenses should be avoided.
Ravens WR John Brown @ CAR
Like I said before, this game will be all defense. The offenses are actually pretty good but defense springs eternal in this case. I'd avoid John Brown this week even in the midst of a great first season with Baltimore.

Study details important attributes in concentrators
SOMERSET, Pa. – Failure rate is the most important attribute for homecare providers in a 5-liter oxygen concentrator, according to a recent market research study conducted by DeVilbiss Healthcare. Failure rate (36.09%) is followed by price (25.53%), warranty (19.43%), energy savings (11.05%) and maintenance tools (7.9%). "It is clear from our research that more and more providers see the value of a product that is built to last beyond just the acquisition price," stated Wally Haddick, vice president of sales, Canada and Latin America, for DeVilbiss Healthcare. "When a manufacturer can minimize post-purchase costs, it allows the provider to focus more efficiently on what they do best—deliver oxygen therapy service." The research is based on a poll of 29 homecare providers in Canada and Latin America using an analysis questionnaire with the support of Dr. Oded Netzer, associate professor of business at Columbia Business School in New York City.

Towards the Within opens with sequence from Baraka
Having recently watched Baraka, I discovered that the sequence which turned me on to non-verbal films is actually from Baraka. The video, Towards the Within, is a concert video of the group, Dead Can Dance.
The section of Baraka in the concert video, is the one which uses a piece of music by Dead Can Dance, vocals by Lisa Gerard. The Baraka sequence used contains the line of dancers moving left and right and bouncing up and down rhythmically; and ends with the ruddy faced girl peeking through leafy branches.
I am not a keen music video watcher, but that piece and the following concert video was so powerful for me that and continues to be when I rewatch it. It is very trancey and puts me in mind of our connection, as a human race, how we are part of something bigger than our own single life.
Has anyone else seen this music video with opening Baraka sequence?

We just bought a convertible! A convertible car seat, that is. Ha-ha.
Maxton hasn't outgrown his infant seat yet, because we chose one that would go up to 35lbs or 32 inches – and no, I do not carry him around in it anymore. I stopped when the muscle spasms started. The car seat weighs 12lbs on its own, add another 20lbs or so of Maxton and I have my own workout regime.
When shopping for the next car seat we wanted something that was gender neutral, safe (obviously), and comfortable. He is going to spend the next several years worth of car rides in it, so that was important. We decided to go with the Stage 2 Convertible and not a Stage 2 & 3 (which also serves as a booster) because of the expiry dates. I couldn't justify spending the extra money for something that holds up to 100lbs when he most likely will not reach that weight before the expiry (right?). Check with the manufacturer for the expiration date; most average six years, but some boosters are good for up to nine years.
After watching for sales, I came across this car seat at Babies R Us.
The Evenflo Triumph 65 Covertible Car Seat
It retails for $169.99 at Babies R Us ($179.99 at Sears, although the pattern is slightly different), but I was able to get it on sale for $129.99. The reviews were good on the website and some other forums I checked out, so I figured I would go and pick it up. After seeing it on display at the store, I was disappointed. There wasn't much padding to it all and I wasn't fond of the lack of head support. I bought it anyways so Steve could have a look at it and weigh in. The more I thought about it the more I didn't like it.
I then came across this one:
The Safety 1st Cruise Air LX 65 Car Seat
This one retails for $179.99 at Sears and Babies R Us (it was on for $159.99at Sears when I was looking). I liked the amount of padding in this one and the head support. I found it a little more difficult to find reviews on this one and decided it wasn't that great of a deal anyways.
Finally, I came across this one:
The Graco MyRide 65 Convertible Car Seat
Have you noticed all of the car seats have "65" in the names? These car seats are all Stage 2, and all go up to 65lbs. The Graco MyRide retails at Sears and Babies R Us for $199.99, but I was able to get it on sale at Sears a couple of weeks ago for $149.99, and I had a 10% off coupon for any car seat from there! Bonus! Our infant seat is a Graco and we love it, so I felt good about sticking with that manufacturer. This car seat had great padding, excellent head support (I like how the sides come up to protect the child's head and neck), and something I would never think to look for: cup holders – an added bonus. It's a larger car seat but it has everything we were looking for, and more. Not to mention, Maxton seems to like it.
It won't be long before Steve will be installing this one in our car, and packing the infant seat away. *sniff sniff*
Remember to check the expiration date of your car seat and replace them accordingly. It's for your child's safety, so spending a few hundred dollars every few years is worth it. The car seat may seem okay, but the foam and plastic erodes and deteriorates with time. Especially when left in the car with exposure to the hot temperatures of the sun, and the cold.

That's pretty much what I'm doing right now, flailing helplessly. I'm cooked. The last couple weeks have been real killers at work. Plus, I've got a book releasing and another book due.
So far, the only creative thing I've produced all week was this (after Sunday's Game of Thrones episode):
So no real blog post today.
However, in an effort to recharge my batteries, I have been reading.
Have you read The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen?
If you haven't, I suggest you leave this blog and acquire the book immediately. There is so much to be learned from Nielsen's The False Prince. The last time I met a narrator as tricky and deceptive as Sage was in Code Name Verity.
Go read it now.
Why are you still here?
7 Responses to Flailing
I'm definitely flailing too and probably will for awhile. So tired these days. OMG, I loved, loved, loved The False Prince. Glad you did too.
Fellow flailer here — editing Book 3 while Book 4 keeps sticking its nose in and demanding attention. I'm not even going to look at The False Prince until I'm finished with my edits — it sounds the literary equivalent of quicksand.
I loved that book! I've been trying to get my hands on the next ones!
I haven't read it, but just added it to my Reading List. Thanks! I hope things get better for you soon!!!!
Game of Thrones. WOOT! Where will the story lines go now????
I have read THE FALSE PRINCE and really need to find the sequels!!
Hi Dianne .. have a peaceful weekend and hope you can get some recovery mode. Happy Easter .. cheers Hilary

"48,000 members have flown since launch"
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
This banner ad is currently running at avios.com:
… and I find it a little odd.
The Avios scheme launched in November 2011. The figure of 48,000 members who have flown since launch only runs to 20th April, but that is still a five month period. On this basis, avios.com is only seeing 300 members flying per day, assuming one redemption per member.
That is a very small number given the sheer scale of the scheme. I don't know the number of ex-Air Miles members but it was stated last year that BAEC, Iberia Plus and Air Miles had 5.5 million combined members. 300 flying per day out of (a fairly chunky percentage of) a 5.5 million base seems very small indeed.

What Absolutely Everyone Is Saying About Leading People and Teams Take My Exam For Me and What You Have to Do
Teams desire a balance of personalities to be profitable, particularly with tasks like determining requirements. Balanced teams might have been made by the management group, and in all likelihood they wouldn't have been much different from the teams created by means of this procedure. If you are in possession of a bright team, you should empower each man to create decisions that are relevant to their very own groups and roles. Some innovation teams neglect to set goals at the beginning of a project because the selection of potential outcomes from the project are so extreme they discover that it's impossible to understand what things to shoot for. My research group and I have discovered that highly skilled golfers are somewhat more likely to hole a simple 3-foot putt once we give them the tools to quit analyzing their shot, to quit thinking,'' Beilock explained.
Part of the answer lies in the particular innovation teams that are mandated with finding breakthrough growth in sizeable corporations. It's possible to go back to questions to modify your answers by clicking on the former question button. 1 question I'm asked a lot is the way to know whether an individual is prepared to move from an individual contributor role into a job which includes people management. Most people don't have this matter and love the freedom that includes working from home, but itas important to check in from time to time and be sure everything is working for them. Among the difficulties with working from home is that people are able to feel lonely and isolated.
The Downside Risk of Leading People and Teams Take My Exam For Me
There are certainly many means to review work, but there's no magic formula guaranteeing exam success. To begin with, it was only a whole lot of work. It turned out to be an amazing job because I was delivering packages to each research laboratory, and so I got to meet scientists in the area of cancer research.
You get to utilize your knowledge of statistics in actual life. Not only do you not have to have experience leading and directing projects as a way to make an application for the CAPM, but you also don't need to get a college degree. Additionally, the knowledge you learn while studying for the CAPM will also assist you when you finally do have what is necessary to make an application for the PMP exam, or so the time spent studying for the CAPM certification won't be time wasted.

The Upside to Leading People and Teams Take My Exam For Me
Successful leaders generally have certain traits. Leadership includes challenges. It means many things to many people. It is the ability to get extraordinary achievement from ordinary people. Leadership and management are usually regarded as the exact same thing, which they aren't. With the inflation-outpacing expenses of formal education, plenty of people are asking precisely that. Students that are extremely anxious about exams should consider expert counselling.

There are lots of individuals who need to work virtually. They change when they hurt enough that they have to, learn enough that they want to, or receive enough that they are able to. Most folks don't believe me once I tell them the forms of people we work for. Likewise, if you're a constructive and optimistic person who attempts to make the best of any scenario, you will discover that it's much simpler to motivate individuals to do their finest. Simply being the individual in charge of a group of people is not sufficient, you require evidence your presence had an effect.

150 runners brave rain, cold during 4th Annual Race into Finals 5K Run/Walk
More than 150 runners and walkers registered to participated in Kent State University College of Nursing's 4th Annual Race into Finals 5K run/walk and 1-mile fun run this past Saturday. Spirits were high in spite of the morning's chilly temperature and cold rain. The event began at 9 a.m. The course provided racers with a scenic, albeit wet, tour of Kent State University campus.
The top three male finishers in the 5K were Zach Morris, of Salem (17:54); Eric Asp, of Kent (19:59); and Noah Gurney, of Cuyahoga Falls (20:06). In the women's' category, Kelli Janus, of Ravenna (22:16); Holly Brown, of Xenia, OH (22:17); and Jammie Rhoads, of Kent (23:27), led the way.
"This year's event was a major success," said race director Jennifer Shanholtzer, MSN, RNc. "We raised $3,000 for the College of Nursing Student Emergency Fund which provides assistance to Kent State nursing students during times of unexpected and dire financial need."
A full listing of the 2017 Race into Finals 5K run/walk results can be viewed here.
The 2017 5K was made possible through the support of many gracious donors and benefactors. Top sponsors included LEGEND and MDF Instruments. Other donors included Udderly Smooth; the National Student Nurses' Association, Kent State University, Twinsburg campus; LA Fitness in Cuyahoga Falls; UniversiTees in Kent; Vertical Runner in Hudson; and Sigma Thea Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, Delta Xi Chapter.

Like the female skiers, the men on the Freeride World Tour (FWT19) started their competition at Ordino Arcalìs, Andorra with a massive backflip. France's Wadek Gorak was first out of the gate, and he went inverted on one of the biggest drops of the day featuring a downhill-sloping take off. The feat earned him the Peak Performance Radical Moment award, but Gorak's run wasn't enough to keep the top spot for long.
Wadek Gorak's Big Backflip at FWT19 Andorra
The fifth rider of the day, Léo Slemett of France, went full freestyle during the first half of his run, spinning a total of three 360s and ending with a big bottom air that gave many other skiers trouble. As they have done throughout the tour, the judges awarded Slemett's freestyle emphasis and near-perfect landings a high score of 91.00, putting Slemett into the top spot.
Léo Slemett's Winning Run at FWT19 Andorra
The FWT19 Overall Leader Markus Eder had an off-day, not getting the pop he wanted off an early air and under-rotating a backflip. He lost a ski in the process, eliminating his chances for a score.
Meanwhile, the man in second of the FWT19 overall rankings had an incredible run. Sweden's Kristofer Turdell combined the most technical venue entrance of the day with a stomped backflip and a 360. Like Slemett, Turdell cleanly stomped his bottom air, making every spectator happy they weren't a judge at that moment.
With one less trick than Slemett, the judges gave Turdell a score of 90.00, which would be good enough for second place at the end of the day. The Swede now needs to win at Verbier to have a chance at beating Eder for the FWT19 overall title.
Immediately after Turdell's run, Alta's Andrew Pollard opened up his run with a technical 360 into several large straight airs, interspersed with super-smooth turns that made the 24-year-old's run look easy (Editor's Note: It was not an easy line). While Gorak's backflip certainly had more of a "wow" factor than Pollard's run, the judges gave the American a higher score of 83.00, which was enough to finish the day in third place.
"Not an easy competition today, the conditions were not perfect so I did not do the exact line I wanted to do and had to improvise last minute, but I really had fun skiing," said Slemett when the day was finished. "I went super fast and it puts me back in the game now, finishing first today and 3rd overall. Now we're going to Verbier on a big mountain face where I really feel at home.. bring it on!"
The final stop of FWT19 will be held in Verbier, Switzerland, with a weather window that starts on March 23, 2019. Keep up-to-date with all of the FWT19 action on SKImag.com's FWT page, as well as SKI Magazine's Facebook and Twitter channels and the FWT Website.

Keep sacred the breath of life so that it may long nurture and sustain you. Use it wisely, to center and ground you but also in protest when necessary. Use it to calm and quiet you but also to rise up and conquer when it is time, for sometimes it is indeed right to be riled up and to take action. Sometimes sitting still is the best medicine and sometimes getting to your feet and doing something is the only cure. It is, however, a very fine line between the two, for balance is key to everything, and it is only long inner contemplation that will bring forth the right decision. How you choose to protest matters, so choose with care. How you sit and breathe, however, is very simple, just do it. Breathe, and as you do remember that life is in every breath and it is sacred. Choose wisely.
-From the Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

I'm a small town, Midwestern, white girl of German, Irish, American Indian, French, English …etc? heritage. American. I moved to St. Paul/Minneapolis when I was 18, craving to broaden my understanding of both Minnesota and the world by forming bonds with all different kinds of Minnesotans. I had friends who were West African immigrants & refugees; Mexican-American friends from California; white friends from the suburbs; and many undocumented Mexican friends as well.
I recognized that "American" identity was a much more complicated concept for my "bi-cultural" friends of color, and a "hot" subject for all. I learned white people are quick to get angry in conversations about racism and white privilege, denying that "standard American culture" is white middle-class. I questioned my own ease of loving diversity and my state; do I deny that my own obliviousness of my white privilege allows me to feel this way? My love of learning about other places and desire to become bilingual compelled me to travel and live in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico.
Although I loved living in other countries, I also became increasingly aware of feeling like "an other," and lived the emotional and reflective journey through the stages of acculturation, getting "stuck" along the way. I saw these places were not as diverse as my city. I also struggled to remember that even if my light skin and eyes caused me to be treated differently, I was still in a place of privilege, with my ability to live, travel, study, and work where ever I pleased in the world. One day, it struck me when I was raising my baby girl in Puerto Rico, "My daughter is Puerto Rican, but I never will be Puerto Rican."
I felt home sick for my land, and for Minneapolis in particular. One the thing I missed most was being immersed in diverse American society, being able to visit my favorite, diverse, parts of town. I missed AMERICANS, and AMERICANS are of many colors, styles of dress, ethnicities, languages, countries & socio-economic classes. Now living in Minneapolis again, my passion and work is making MN a place where everyone successfully acculturates. This means everyone can identify 100% with their home culture, and 100% with their additional culture(s) (American.)
As a Somali colleague of mine tells his young Somali students struggling with their American identities, "You need a number to play on the basketball team. You're trying to play on the team without a number." His reference meaning, "You're trying to be American without being Somali first. Being a successful American means being a successful Somali too." Let's start by telling our government to change our laws to reflect who we really are.

Posts for: December, 2017
If you've had a total joint replacement or similar procedure, you will want your surgeon to decide if you need to take an antibiotic before you undergo dental work. This is a precaution to prevent a serious infection known as bacteremia.
Bacteremia occurs when bacteria become too prevalent in the bloodstream and cause infection in other parts of the body, especially in joints and bone with prosthetic (replacement) substances. It's believed that during invasive dental procedures bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream through incisions and other soft tissue disruptions.
Joint infections are a serious matter and can require extensive therapy to bring it under control. Out of this concern, the use of antibiotics as a prophylactic (preventive measure) against bacteremia once included a wide range of patients for a variety of conditions and procedures. But after an in-depth study in 2007, the American Dental Association concluded that the risks for many of these patient groups for infection triggered by a dental procedure was extremely low and didn't warrant the use of antibiotic premedication therapy.
As a result, recommendations for antibiotic therapy changed in 2009, eliminating many groups previously recommended for premedication. But because of the seriousness of joint infection, The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons still recommends the therapy for joint replacement patients about to undergo any invasive procedure, including dental work. It's especially needed for patients who also have some form of inflammatory arthritis, a weakened immune system, insulin-dependent diabetes, hemophilia, malnourishment or a previous infection in an artificial joint.
The guidelines for antibiotic premedication can be complex. It's best, then, to speak with both your orthopedic surgeon and us about whether you should undergo antibiotic therapy before you undergo a dental procedure. The ultimate goal is to reduce the risks of any disease and to keep both your mouth and your body safe from infection.
If you would like more information on the use of antibiotics in dental care, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Premedication for Dental Treatment."
You've suddenly noticed one of your teeth looks and feels uneven, and it may even appear chipped. To make matters worse it's right in front in the "smile zone" — when you smile, everyone else will notice it too. You want to have it repaired.
So, what will it be — a porcelain veneer or crown? Maybe neither: after examining it, your dentist may recommend another option you might even be able to undergo that very day — and walk out with a restored tooth.
This technique uses dental materials called composite resins. These are blends of materials that can mimic the color and texture of tooth structure while also possessing the necessary strength to endure forces generated by biting and chewing. A good part of that strength comes from the way we're able to bond the material to both the tooth's outer enamel and underlying dentin, which together make up the main body of tooth structure. In skilled, artistic hands composite resins can be used effectively in a number of situations to restore a tooth to normal appearance.
While veneers or crowns also produce excellent results in this regard, they require a fair amount of tooth alteration to accommodate them. Your dentist will also need an outside dental laboratory to fabricate them, a procedure that could take several weeks. In contrast, a composite resin restoration usually requires much less tooth preparation and can be performed in the dental office in just one visit.
Composite resins won't work in every situation — the better approach could in fact be a veneer or crown. But for slight chips or other minor defects, composite resin could transform your tooth's appearance dramatically.
To see if composite resin is a viable restoration option for your tooth, visit your dentist for a complete dental examination. It's quite possible you'll leave with a more attractive tooth and a more confident smile.
If you would like more information on restorations using composite resins, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Artistic Repair of Front Teeth with Composite Resin."

Back in the day when sunblock wasn't a big deal, my beautiful mother would douse herself in coconut oil and lounge in the full sun until her body was burnt crisp for that golden goddess tan. Now, 30 odd years later, she is bearing the brunt of one too many sunburns and has recently noticed (to her horror) light brown patches of pigmentation appear on her face and décolletage. This made me wonder whether I'm doing enough to protect my skin from pigmentation. With fair Celtic skin, I am generally careful about spending too much time in our gloriously fierce African sun and always wear sun protection, but every summer my face is still sunkissed with freckles. Dreading the prospect of pigmentation, I decided to dig a little deeper into how pigmentation comes about in the skin and what measures can be taken to deal with it.
What causes this colour madness in the skin?
It all comes down to melanin, which essentially creates the pigment which determines our skin tone.
Exposed to sunlight, specialised skin cells called melanocytes produces more melanin, which is our bodies' natural way of protecting the skin from damaging UV rays. This is essentially how our skin tans in the sun. For those with super pale skin, like me, however, these melanocytes tend to overcompensate in response to sunlight and produce more melanin, compared to those with darker skin tones. This explosion of melanin in the skin forms splatters of freckles over the skin and can lead to sun spots – which generally only become visible as we get older. A pale skin tone is also very much more prone to develop moles, which are dark clumps of pigmentation — I have too many to count.
While an overdose of the sun is the most common cause of pigmentation in the skin, here are a few other contributing factors causing melanin to congregate in discoloured spots.
- We can certainly blame it on the hormones. Affecting 90% of women, Melasma or chloasma (coined the mask of pregnancy) is triggered by hormonal fluctuation occurring during pregnancy or brought about by birth-control pills, where dark irregular patches of pigmentation present on the face and arms. In line with this, the change in hormone levels experienced after menopause often causes age spots to become more visible.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a thing. Typically triggered by some form of injury or a bad dose of acne, patches of skin darken and leave a mark on the skin.
- Certain medication or drugs can alter the production of melanin in the skin. According to the University of New Mexico Cancer Center, hyperpigmentation can also develop as a side effect of chemotherapy drugs
So what can we do about pigmentation?
First things first, the deeper the pigmentation the more difficult it is to treat, so now is the time for preventative measures peeps – for vanity's sake. I had a look at some skincare products with active ingredients expertly formulated to prevent pigmentation and to help turn back the clock and sort out existing pigmentation — Here are my top picks:
Skin Nutrition Cleansing Gel
R 428,74 for 100ml, Foschini
Cleansing the face is oh so necessary to remove a buildup of dead skin cells, dirt, makeup gunk and bacteria, which often leads to breakouts, blemishes and red patches on the skin. The Skin Nutrition Cleansing Gel contains stabilised Vitamin C, a fantastic antioxidant that is known to brighten the skin and fight pigmentation. Lathering up a proper foam on my face, I found this light liquid cleansing gel soothing to my skin and my face was left feeling refreshed and silky soft. I particularly loved the fresh fruity scent — I literally felt as if I was embracing summer.
Optiphi Classic Refine-Foliant α, ß, C
R720 for 8 x 5ml bottles, optiphi.com
A highly effective triple advanced mini peel chemical exfoliant, Optiphi Classic Refine-Foliant α, ß, C works to sort out pigmentation and uneven discolouration. With a potent punch of vitamin C, this exfoliant works towards brightening the skin and diminishing the appearance of dark spots. Designed to initiate cell-turnover, while leaving the skin soft supple, this chemical peel also contains both salicylic acid and moisturising lactic acid— just what you need to maintain and restore your skin's youthful radiance. I gave these chemical peels a go. Using just a dollop, I massaged the golden liquid gel onto my face and left it for about 10 minutes (when my skin felt sufficiently tightened), rinsing off the thin peel thoroughly with warm water. Although the experience was quite intense, my skin felt unbelievably smooth and soft the next morning and soon developed a lovely clear illuminating glow.
Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Hydrogel Cream
R730 for 50ml, Foschini
A potion of power ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid and Polynesian Lagoon Water, Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Brightening Hydrogel Cream is designed to hydrate and moisturize skin with a Vitamin C booster to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation. Light to the touch, this cream absorbed effortlessly into my skin and left it feeling smooth, plump and positively glowing.
Sisley Intensive Lightening Serum
R4 398, selected online stores
Lemon, Scutellaria and White Mulberry Extracts (all packed with vitamin C goodness), as well as essential oils, Sisley Phyto-blanc Intensive Lightening Serum is specially formulated to target dark spots (this one's for you mom) and enhance the skin's radiance. I fell in love immediately. Massaging the luxuriously soft and creamy serum into my skin was a dream. It absorbed seamlessly with no oily residue, giving my face a luminous glow.
L'Oreal Revitalift Bright Reveal Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturiser
R413,56 for 30ml, Foschini
L'Oreal Revitalift Bright Reveal Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturiser is a dual action concoction, with both an exfoliating gel as well as a Vitamin C and Retinol combo, working together for clear, even, brighter and more youthful skin. I was instantly swayed by this novel two-pump-in-one moisturiser – which simultaneously pumps both the cool liquid gel and the silky soft cream. Easy to blend in the palm of my hand, I simply massaged the light moisturiser into my skin. I was truly amazed at how wonderful my skin felt and looked afterwards – gorgeous, soft and supple with a clear, glowing complexion.
Heliocare Advanced Gel SPF 50 Sunscreen
R295 for 50ml, dermastore.co.za
Yes, our skin needs sunlight, for the love of that healthy summer glow and Vitamin D goodness of course. However, with our UV rays only getting stronger, wearing UVA and UVB sun protection every day is super important. For this reason, Heliocare Advanced Gel SPF 50 Sunscreen was my go-to option. Using Fernblock Photo Immunoprotection Technology (derived from Central American fern Polypodium leucotomos — which develops its own natural protection against UV rays), this sunscreen works to protect the skin from sun-related ageing and damage. I was definitely happy with the knowledge that this sunscreen would get the job done and protect my sun-sensitive pale skin this summer. The perfect base to prep your skin for the day, I adored its delicious summer-fruit scent and creamy quick absorbing consistency, giving my face a lovely soft texture.
What works for your pigmentation? I'd like to know. Feel free to share in the comment section below.

I grew up in a home where being smart was prized above almost everything. With a father who was a writer and a mother who was an editor, it was a given that I would learn how to write well. I learned math from cribbage and spelling from Scrabble. By the time I was six or seven, I was playing both cribbage and Scrabble regularly with the adults in my world – and they weren't dumbing down their games to play with me. It was simply assumed that I would be a good student – and the one time that I brought home a B+ during junior high school, there was hell to pay from my father.
Suffice it to say, I expected myself to be smart. If possible, I wanted to be the smartest person in the room. It was a protection mechanism. If I were smart enough I could act perfectly, and if I acted perfectly my father wouldn't get mad at me. It was a warped childhood belief that I carried into adulthood with me. But the behavior that seemed to protect me as a child isn't working so well in adulthood.
Today I was working at the newspaper. I ended up in a strategy session with a couple of the editors about the upcoming Town Meeting season – what information to collect, how to collate it, and how to present it to the readers.
A few years ago, I spent some time working in a town office, so I'm familiar with some of the lingo they were using…but the truth is that, for the most part, I didn't know what they were talking about. I was aware that my brain was trying to formulate something to say that would prove to them how smart I am. I wanted to use the lingo in a way that showed them that I knew exactly what they were talking about…even though I didn't. But letting my brain go to town trying to prove how smart I am meant that I wasn't being present for their conversation and was actually missing some important information – things that would actually be useful for me to know! And, truth be told, when I give in to that desire to sound smart, I often end up saying something that I later regret.
Today I surrendered to the peace of knowing that I wasn't the smartest person in the room. And I didn't need to be. And no one thought less of me. It was okay that I was simply there to do my job, rather than trying to figure out how to do theirs. Perhaps that's the distinction between being smart and being intelligent.

Daycare providers are required to provide a social security or taxpayer identification number to clients for income tax purposes. Caregivers generally provide tax information, including a taxpayer identification number and childcare expense totals, to parents by January 31 of each year. In some cases, however, you may need to ask for the information. If your childcare provider is a tax-exempt organization, you will not need a taxpayer number to claim dependent care expenses.
Print IRS Form W-10, also called the Dependent Care Provider's Identification and Certification form. The W-10 will be your record of the provider's name, address and taxpayer identification number, which you will need when filing your taxes.
Ask your provider to fill out the W-10 form for your records. If you are unable to print the W-10 form, the IRS approves other sources, including a copy of the provider's social security card, a copy of a driver's license that indicates her social security number or a current letterhead or printed invoice indicating the provider's name, address and taxpayer identification number, according to the IRS instructions for Form W-10.
Claim your dependent care credit even if your childcare provider refuses to provide a social security or taxpayer identification number. Provide as much information as you have, including the name and address of the provider, in the Child and Dependent Care Expenses section of Form 2441. The IRS advises that you write ''see page 2" in the columns that are requesting missing information. On the bottom of page 2, indicate that the caregiver refused to provide the information.
- If your childcare provider is a tax-exempt organization, he should fill out the name and address lines and write "tax-exempt" in the taxpayer identification number space when filling out Form W-10, according to the IRS. (See Reference 1.)

"The importance of embracing tradition," President Jim Yong Kim '82a told members of the Alumni Council at its 202nd session, "lies in restating every year our commitment to each other as a community of Dartmouth. On that firm foundation of relationships to each other, we have the opportunity to be enormously innovative."
The session, held May 19–21 in Hanover, gave councilors opportunities to meet with senior administrators, trustees, and students for discussions about advising, social space, leadership development, and other aspects of Dartmouth life today. Trustee Jeffrey Immelt '78 spoke at a dinner in Alumni Hall. Martha Beattie '76, new vice president of Alumni Relations, addressed the council, thanking members for their work and affirming her commitment to "sustaining the excellence of alumni relations while at the same time seeking new challenges."
Trustee Jeff Immelt '78, CEO of General Electric, said that good leaders are, like President Kim, "good systems thinkers," who think laterally across many fields, rather than in silos.
Innovation and leadership were recurring themes throughout the weekend. In addressing topics councilors suggested before the session, President Kim shared his vision of sustaining Dartmouth as "truly the Big Green" – the global leader in undergraduate teaching; the site of unparalleled interdisciplinary, path-breaking research; an institutional beacon in higher education; the school of choice for the very best faculty and students; and the beneficiary of "an alumni network like no other."
As an example, he cited Dartmouth's new Learning Collaborative on High-Risk Drinking, an unprecedented initiative that will use comprehensive evaluation and measurement techniques to identify and implement the most effective ways to confront the problem of binge drinking on campuses.
More than 50 colleges and universities, from Cornell to Wesleyan, have joined the collaborative since it was launched in early May, and the project has attracted wide media attention. The collaborative is the inaugural effort of the National College Health Improvement Project, a joint undertaking of the College and the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.
Thinking Laterally to Move Forward: Creating Systems Thinkers
Immelt, CEO of General Electric and chair of the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness in the Obama administration, spoke about his service on the jobs council and the Dartmouth College Board of Trustees, as well as the changing business climate and good leadership.
"There is huge, unbelievable opportunity in business in the next 25 years," Immelt told the councilors, "but also lots of volatility, and we have to prepare our students and companies for that. The students that I hope are developing at Dartmouth are people who can deal with volatility, are technically savvy, and have the aptitude for this changing economy."
Immelt discussed traits of good leadership. "Good leaders are humble listeners with an analytical mind," he said. "I was a math major here, and I have to say, I use that background probably more than anything I learned in business school. The constant probing and analyzing of data, and staying humble enough to ask questions. That's something I think a good liberal arts education develops."
"Good systems thinking" is another quality. "This world is about problem solving and people who know how to think horizontally," said Immelt. "This is one of the reasons why I fell in love with Jim Kim almost at first sight. He's a joint MD and PhD in anthropology, so he naturally thinks laterally about every problem."
Creating more ways to develop students into systems thinkers "will make Dartmouth a remarkable college for the 21st century," he said.
Good leadership also requires, Immelt said, "the ability to build networks and teams, which is a big core competency at Dartmouth."
Learning to Fail Fast, and Other Stories from the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network
The discovery that roommates, despite their enthusiasm, may not make the best team members for an entrepreneurial business was one of the learning experiences shared by students in the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network during a dinner discussion with councilors.
Chris Woods '13, Andrea Marron '11Th, Seth Gilmore '11Tu, Joe Gigliotti '14DMS, and Ilya Bendich '14DMS discussed how they've learned to "fail fast and move on," research their markets, undertake the rigors of a business plan, and reach more entrepreneurial milestones under the guidance of Professor Greg Fairbrothers '76, founder of the DEN.
About 25 councilors participated, and many had questions regarding what alumni can do to connect with and help student entrepreneurs. They said more connection is needed among the alumni and students of the College and professional schools. Fairbrothers noted that Dartmouth actually has more channels than many other schools and invited any alumni to contact him. Councilor Jennifer Argenti '99, '05Tu, a member of the Young Alumni Committee, noted that enhancements to Dartmouth's Career Services Office are in the works.
The Heart of the Alumni Council
The DEN discussion was one of five student discussion groups available to the councilors, the others covering high-risk drinking, off-campus programs, diversity, and the Dartmouth Outing Club. Councilors also sat in on classes, toured the construction underway to transform Thayer Dining Hall into the Class of 1953 Commons, and discussed the possibility of making changes to the Reunion experience. Danielle Dyer '81, '89Tu takes over as council president on July 1. The councilors voted Martin Lempres '84 president-elect.
Council president Tom Peisch '70 said the the 202nd session was "extremely productive. As always, the high points included hearing from trustees and President Kim about the current state of the College and plans for its future. In addition, the students who presented on a variety of topics remind us that Dartmouth continues to attract the very best students from around the country and the world.
"But the real joy for me," said Peisch, "was spending time with alumni from classes in the '40's through the '10's, all of whom are devoted to the College and committed to keeping it strong."
Deborah Klenotic is the assistant director of Web communications in Alumni Relations.
