A three-time felon and one-time Tony Award winner, Lemon Andersen's deeply personal art reflects his rough upbringing on the streets of Brooklyn. After losing both parents to drugs and eventually AIDS, Lemon discovered poetry while serving time. Through raw talent and unstoppable drive, he found himself on Broadway, starring in Russell Simmons' Def Poetry Jam. But when the show closed, he lost everything and moved his wife and two small daughters back to the projects to live with thirteen family members.
Desperate for a way out, he turns to the only things he has left, his pen and his past. LEMON follows one man's three-year journey to adapt his life story for the New York stage while battling his darkest demons. It brings to life the anguish of a generation of men clinging to the margins but fighting for something more. A beautifully crafted film that features a surprise turn by Spike Lee and music by hip-hop phenoms Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Aloe Blacc.

Janice Waugh, the voice behind the Solo Traveler blog and the Solo Traveler's Handbook, talks to me in our interview today about how she went from personal blog to public community–and where she hopes to go from here. Enjoy!
Janice, you started Solo Traveler after realizing that your personal blog was quickly going public. After that shift, how did you (or did you?) change your approach to blogging?
Solo Traveler has evolved over the years. At first I wrote all the content. Then I started the Pic of the Week so that readers could share their travel experiences as well. Then Tracey came on board as editor and added her voice to the mix. And with her involvement, we had the resources to manage more contributions from readers and the Destination of the Week became a regular feature of the blog. My approach to blogging is about building community. About giving readers a sense of ownership of the blog through real participation. I think this is well reflected on the blog's content.
How did you become a location-independent entrepreneur? What did it take to get there?
I have been an entrepreneur my entire life. Being a blogger is just the latest manifestation of my entrepreneurial life. Blogging is a full time gig for me. As long as I have my computer or tablet and WiFi access, I can do my work from anywhere.
Where do you see your blog headed in the next 5 years? 10?
Solo Traveler serves a very broad demographic – from people in their twenties to people in the seventies. But the main writers are Tracey and myself – we're from a very specific demographic. Over the next few years I would like to get more writers on board so that we can better serve all solo travelers.
What would you tell a loved one who wanted to become a travel blogger today?
To make travel blogging a career you need to focus on building a community of loyal readers. This means being authentic and transparent, putting yourself out there and being thoughtful about your work. But there is also the business side of blogging. It takes creativity, diligence, discipline and a lot of time.
On your blog, you advocate for traveling solo. Do you think that couples and even groups can adopt this same mentality and approach to the traveling life?
Everyone can take the time to travel solo at some point. And, in my opinion, everyone should. Traveling solo presents opportunities and experiences that simply don't happen when you're traveling with someone else. It also allows you the time to discover, or rediscover, your own interests and rhythm. Without being concerned about the needs of others you can learn who you are when no one is looking.
Tell us about writing The Solo Traveler's Handbook. What was that experience like for you?
I had intended this to be a leisurely process but then I was contacted by the Smithsonian to speak there and I suddenly had a deadline. What a wonderful deadline to work to. Writing the book was enjoyable but it is far more satisfying to receive the comments from those who have read it. While those who already travel solo have liked the book it's the newbies who really get the most out of it. It's very satisfying to hear from them and know that it has made a difference in their lives.
Janice Waugh is author of The Solo Traveler's Handbook, publisher of Solo Traveler Blog, the blog for those who travel alone and moderator of the Solo Travel Society on Facebook with over 70,000 fans. She has spoken at The Smithsonian and elsewhere on solo travel and at a number of industry events on travel blogging. She has been quoted in many media outlets including CNN, the Oprah Blog, the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, LA Times and USA Today. You can follower her on Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+. She is also founder of Full Flight Press, publisher of The Traveler's Handbooks series.
Interview conducted in November 2014 by Kristin Winet.
Shannon O'Donnell is an advocate for grassroots volunteering and slow travel. In addition to being recognized as Traveler of the Year by National Geographic last year, she recently published The Volunteer Traveler's Handbook and writes for her blog, A Little Adrift. In our conversation today, Shannon and I discuss her consulting and public speaking work and her passion for inspiring young people to travel and become global citizens. Enjoy!
Shannon, you were named National Geographic's Traveler of the Year in 2013. Congratulations! What did it take to receive this prestigious award?
Thank you! It was such an extreme honor to receive from a magazine that I have read for more than two decades. The Travelers of the Year program focuses on individuals who travel with passion and purpose, and NatGeo honored me for the work I am doing to promote grassroots level travel and tourism. My Grassroots Volunteering site looks to encourage ethical independent volunteering opportunity alongside the chance for travelers to find and support local organizations—restaurants, social enterprises, boutiques, tour companies—that are creating positive change in their communities.
You are a former actress. Have you been able to bring any of that part of your life into traveling and blogging? If so, how?
I've always felt that my acting training has benefited my life in intangible ways—from an ease with people in unfamiliar situations to networking at travel industry events. I have a strong background in improv, for years that was a focus of my training, and it's that training that has helped me feel confident moving my travel blog success into speaking to students at universities and high schools. After honing a narrative about myself as an actress in LA—that took work to find a story arch about characters and my role in the industry—I was ready to bring that same idea of having a public persona to blogging. Though my site, A Little Adrift, is an authentic outlet for my thoughts and ideas, I also think successful blogs take this a step further and the bloggers create and follow a narrative line within their own story that makes them compelling to readers and their community. Years navigating the overwhelming sea of other red-headed actresses in Los Angeles taught me how to form a narrative voice that stands out.
Since you don't run ads or sponsored content on your site, how do you make traveling full-time possible? Is it primarily through public speaking and training?
Speaking at universities about travel is part of my income, but the majority of my funds come from online marketing and running social media for small businesses. The breakdown is about 30% from speaking and freelance traveling writing and 70% from online consulting. When I left to travel in 2008, 100% of my income came from my online work, and I was able to work from the road for years with this income and travel for the better part of every year.
How do you see your income mix changing in the next few years?
My income will likely remain at roughly this ratio; I enjoy the consulting work and generally have a good mix of speaking and writing every month that fulfills the travel and creative side of my life. I have long found that it was easier for me to gain well-paying expertise by focusing on consulting work versus trying to make an income from my blogging.
What advice would you give to someone near and dear to you who wanted to start a travel blog today? What do you wish you knew when you started that you know now?
My best advice is to decide up front if you are building a business or a blog—they are not necessarily the same thing, and the way you build them is likely a different path. I offered up some ideas here for bloggers on how I built my online community, it really came down to identifying what outcome was most important to gain from the blog; for me, that was building a community of like-minded travelers interested in culture, food, and language overseas.
Oh, and I wish I had taken everyone's advice to start a newsletter list immediately. This direct communication with my community is one of my most valuable ways to communicate and I wish I had built that community sooner!
Shannon O'Donnell is a long-term traveler on the road since 2008; she travels slowly and supports grassroots tourism along the way. She published The Volunteer Traveler's Handbook and founded GrassrootsVolunteering.org to help travelers connect with ethical volunteering and travel opportunities. She also founded the award-winning travel site A Little Adrift to share stories of culture and inspire others to travel. She regularly speaks to students at universities and high schools around the country, striving to ignite in the next generation a passion and interest in global citizenship and travel.

Stephanie, you manage the blog Twenty-Something Travel. What originally inspired you to start it? What has that journey been like for you?
I started Twenty-Something Travel over 5 years ago, partially as a personal project and partially as a way to show other twenty-somethings that long-term travel is possible. At the time I was living at home, saving money and planning my own year-long trip though Asia, Australia and Europe.
At that point I never thought that blogging and writing would become my career. My whole writing career so far has basically been an exercise in "how can I get away with this."
What experience did you have with writing before starting your blog? What tools do you think new bloggers really need to hone in their early years?
I've always loved to write first and foremost. I majored in English in college and spent a long time honing my writing analytical skills while composing essays on Katherine Porter and David Lodge. I often call myself one of the few English majors who is actually working in her field!
In all honesty though, I do think writing skills are very important when it comes to blogging. You want to be able to convey experiences clearly and to connect emotionally with your audience,. Bad writing is so distracting and it puts a barrier between you and the reader.
In one of your posts, "How I Make Money While Traveling," you say that "I think of myself less and less as a person who makes money by traveling, and more as a person who is lucky enough to have a job that allows me to travel." Can you tell us a little bit more about that distinction? What's your income mix like now?
I get a lot of emails from people asking me "How can I make money by traveling?" The truth is, you just can't. Nobody is going to pay you simply to waltz around the world and have adventures. Unfortunately I think that is a very idealized image that a lot of blogs present.
If you could see what's going on behind the scenes of most successful blogs, the reality would be less glamorous. Yes there is travel, sometimes really amazing travel, but there is a lot of really mundane stuff going on as well: conference calls, overflowing inboxes and hours and hours spent sprawled on the couch, typing away. Travel isn't my job, writing is my job and travel is a fortunate bonus.
What do you wish you'd known about blogging when you started?
Honestly, I wish I had the forethought NOT to name my blog Twenty-Something Travel. Now that I am about to turn 30, it's becoming a bit of a branding issue. I think it's important to look at the long term picture even when you are just starting out. At 25 I had no idea I would still be writing on the same website, yet here I am.
I have to ask: What's it like being married to another travel blogger?
It's pretty great! It's nice to have someone who just gets it. Get the weird hours, the erratic income, the obsession with plane tickets and the inability to sit still. It's also nice that we have our own separate websites and projects but we can still collaborate occasionally. A good mix of support and autonomy.
Now I sound like I'm bragging, but really, I highly recommend everyone marry another travel blogger. Or failing that, someone really, really rich.
Now that you're just turned the big 3-0, what's the future of Twenty-Something Travel hold for you?
Ha. Well as I noted above, it does present something of a branding issue, which I'm still trying to figure out. In the past year I've brought on two more writers, Jessica Dawdy and Kay Rodriguez who are both terrific and provide very different twenty-something perspectives.

Shelly Rivoli started her website, Travels with Baby ten years ago (hard to believe!). Since then, she's changed a lot of diapers–on four continents, in fact–and learned a lot about traveling with babies and small children along the way. In our interview today, Shelly tells us a little bit about getting her blog off the ground and why you have to let go of the mantra "revise, revise, revise" when blogging. Enjoy!
Shelly, you started Travels with Baby ten years ago! What initially inspired you to start the site? What has the journey been like for you?
These days, starting a website or a blog is often the first thing people think of doing if they have a special interest, but at the time, I was just looking at the bigger picture of getting a book published. I figured that having a website to help promote the book, whenever and however it came to be, would be important. With a little market research, it seemed like "Travels with Baby" was a good working title for the book, and I was able to buy the domain for a modest sum from a mom who'd been unable to use it.
TravelswithBaby.com actually became a great research tool early on. I found that the more information I shared on the site, the more parents would find it and get in touch with me about their particular situations. There were only a handful of websites related to family travel at that time, so pretty much anyone searching for information about flying with a baby, for example, would end up at TravelswithBaby.com. Those were the days!
It finally dawned on me that I might be able to make money from the website itself, whether I finished the book or not. Fortunately, I was able to do both.
How did you get your blog off the ground and begin to diversify yourself?
I didn't start the blog until 2007, when the first edition of Travels with Baby was published. It started out completely separate from the site with a blogspot URL and didn't look anything like it because Blogger only had a handful of templates and options to choose from. Since I already had a website full of information and advice, I only planned to use the blog platform to help promote the book with one weekly tip that would be syndicated in Amazon Daily. I was hoping I could stick it out for one year, but it's still going—and it's finally part of TravelswithBaby.com.
What advice would you give to someone near and dear to you who wanted to start a blog?
Do your research first. It's easy to get caught up in why you think your blog will find an audience that cares, and it's easier than ever to get a great looking blog up and running in no time. But there are realistically going to be dozens of blogs already going on the same topic you have in mind, especially if that's travel. That doesn't mean you shouldn't bother starting your own blog, though. Just take a look at the blogs most similar to what you have in mind, then think long and hard about what will make yours different, and what will motivate people to follow you beyond reading a post or two that help them planning one specific trip.
You've changed diapers on four continents (you are amazing). Can you tell us a little bit about why was traveling with your babies was important to you?
In the very beginning, just getting out the front door and to the pediatrician's office on time for an appointment could be overwhelming. But little by little we realized that each time we got of the house together, for a hike or a picnic or just to visit friends, we had a great time. We flew to visit family, camped, and took a couple of road trips. By the time our first daughter was 7 months old, we were in Thailand and having the best trip of our lives so far.
What should parents keep in mind if they want to travel with their young children?
A lot of people think travel will be easier with children once they are past the baby and toddler phase, but that's not necessarily true. Kids get used to what they get used to, so by starting them out with long flights and car rides early on, they can be incredibly patient flying overseas as toddlers, for example.
It also helps to teach them early on that the adventure begins the moment you leave home, not when you finally at long last arrive at a hotel. Instead of asking, "Are we there yet?" they'll be asking, "So where are we now?"
How does writing a guidebook differ from writing your blog?
I had to ask myself the book vs. blog question often right after I started the blog. After all, I wanted people who saw my blog posts on Amazon to buy the new book, not think they could get all the same tips from my blog for free! Of course, that all seems hilarious in retrospect.
What took me years to make peace with about blogging is that you can't take your time and revise, revise, revise—or you will never get a new post online! It's the complete opposite of how I was taught to write, and I still want to bite my nails every time I press the Publish button because I know there could be typos in there I just can't see, and I always know in the back of my mind that it could be better if I spent more time on it.
Writing a guidebook gives me the luxury of more time, more revisions, and the help of a dedicated copyeditor. The great thing about working on a book and blog at the same time is that I don't have to wait months or years to feel like I've "finished" a project, and I can get input from blog readers and even field questions about sections I'm working on for a guidebook while it's in progress.
Shelly Rivoli has traveled with her husband and very young children by airplane, elephant, subway, train, cruise ship, taxi, and long tail boat, and she has the distinction of having changed diapers on four continents. Her Travels with Baby website, blog, and guidebooks, have received many awards, including the Lowell Thomas Bronze in Guidebooks for her second edition Travels with Baby: The Ultimate Guide for Planning Travel with Your Baby, Toddler, and Preschooler. She recently started a second blog focused on travel with school-age children at www.familytravel411.com. She hangs her hats as author, blogger, and mother of three in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Judge suggests reinstatement possible for Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams
Rockingham County Attorney James Reams heads back to court Monday to challenge his suspension from office. (JAMES A. KIMBLE/FILE PHOTO)
Reams is heading back to Merrimack County Superior Court on Monday seeking reinstatement, which would allow him to finish out the remaining 9 months of his two-year term. He is challenging his suspension through a pair of lawsuits filed against the Attorney General and the Rockingham County Commissioners.
If McNamara maintains his view about Reams current legal standing, it could mark an abrupt reversal for the eight-term Republican who has been suspended from office since the night of Nov. 6.
But the order also laid out McNamara's thinking about the larger issue regarding Reams' suspension, setting off a flurry of legal filings by state prosecutors aiming to keep Reams from returning to his post.
Before McNamara's order reached the Attorney General's Office, state prosecutors had already filed arguments asserting why they believe Foster can keep Reams suspended in the wake of removal proceedings, according to Young.
McNamara said Reams could still possibly be kept out of office if the state sought an injunction.
"We believe that we will be able to show that there are no criminal charges and that Jim Reams is the duly elected county attorney in Rockingham County," Ramsdell said on Friday.
Reams, who is not seeking re-election, has denied any wrongdoing. He expects to file a response to the complaint seeking his removal by April 25.

I too enjoyed the floating from Cherry Valley to the Kishwaukee Forest Preserve up to about three years ago. The past two I see nothing but people along the shores urinating,swearing and throwing trash in the river.I was there last week and left my beer at home having a nice time again. If you need a few beers to enjoy nature that's sad.

Police searches at access points on Kishwaukee River absurd
The recent action to police unruly behavior on the Kishwaukee River is absurd. Yes, the preserves and river should have police action to curb the unruly behavior, but to inflict searches and seizures on every person hoping to gain access to the waterway is not the method that should be used. In fact, this may be illegal in itself.
Canoers are and have always been "stewards of the waterways," whether streams, rivers or lakes. I have been canoeing since I was 10 years old. I'm now approaching 72 and look forward to every outing on the Kish. My wife and four children spent untold hours on the rivers, lakes and streams of Illinois. We now enjoy the same with our grandchildren. Refreshments were — and should be — part of the all-day experience for families who enjoy this inexpensive family recreation. Children enjoy their refreshments and adults theirs. I enjoy a quiet float with a cold beer or two. I live in Chicago, and am happy to contribute economically to New Milford, Cherry Valley and Rockford, depending upon what supplies, motel rooms and restaurant fare we need for a weekend.
Our society dictates that we not punish the many for the sins of a few. Forest Preserve personnel, Department of Natural Resources and local police should be in the forefront in addressing the problems created by the few. I'm looking forward to visiting the Kish several times before the snow flies and my joints tighten up, but if the present circumstances prevail, I must look for other venues.

Weather Trends Predicts Snowier, Colder Winter
Wednesday October 9th, 2013 - 10:55AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Weather Trends International has released its Winter 2013-2014 weather outlook, and the weather guidance firm is predicting a higher snowfall outlook and colder temperature outlook than last year's season.
According to Weather Trends International, the statistics and climate index similarities suggest the 2013-2014 winter will be similar to 1962-1963 which brought the 6th coldest January in over 118 years and copious snowfall. The factors considered were a proprietary statistical forecasting technique, Atlantic Accumulated Cyclone Energy index, ENSO neutral phase, 30-year cold-intensifying Pacific Decadal Oscillation Cycle and a weak 100 year solar cycle which all indicate a winter similar to 1962-1963, according to Weather Trends.
Based on those leading indications, Weather Trends outlined its top 10 predictions for the upcoming winter:
1. Nor'easters will be more frequent, bringing the snowiest winter in three years with 35% more snow than last year and much above average.
2. Temperatures across the Eastern U.S. will trend 3-6 degrees colder than last winter, making it the coldest winter in three years with below average temperatures.
3. Major widespread cold snaps are likely in middle December, middle January and early February.
4. The West will trend the warmest in four to eight years but snow and rain are still likely to make headlines in the Pacific Northwest with twice as much snow as last year.
5. Parts of California are likely to have the wettest conditions in nine years bringing the threat for at least one major flooding/mud slide event this winter.
6. The Southwest may escape winter's wrath with the warmest conditions in eight years and 31% below average snowfall.
7. A drought may begin to develop in the Southeast by late winter.
8. A major freeze is possible in Florida in late January and early February.
9. Winter seasonal merchandise sales will experience the best winter in three years with sales up 20% to 100% in the Eastern U.S. with snow accessories up 250% or more. However, overall retail sales and store traffic will be severely hampered.
10. Home heating bills will be up 15% to 30% in the East but down as much in the West, further eating into consumers' discretionary spending going into 2014.

The MFA Painting educates visual artists who create individual work and perform autonomous research with a view to gaining insight into new prospects for painting in a digital era on the basis of a reflective and critical attitude.
MFA Painting
You wish to gain more insight into the innovative quality of painting in a rapidly changing world. Aware of the force of physicality and materiality of art works, you take a painterly approach as you conduct your experimental research into the functioning of perception psychology, cognition and imagination. A painting shows you the imagination of ideas as well as how the material is edited and used. Taking a painterly and critical approach means that you create new relationships and associations through the use of materiality. In this way, you determine the meaning and significance of your work in today's society by combining ideation and materiality; transforming your ideas in unexpected, meaningful and powerful images.
Past, present and future
Painting has been re-invented all over the world: due to political changes, the digitisation of society, the need for a postcolonial perspective and nowadays - because of a runaway art market. That's the reason why at MFA Painting, apart from the importance of materiality and ideation, we keep on searching for the dialogue between different viewpoints from the past, present and future: between perception and cognition, image and language, stable and unstable media, old and new technology, and in a broader sense, between art and science as well as local and global forms of society. In doing so, we collectively explore charted and uncharted territory, sharing our views and ideas, working in groups and learning from each other. At the same time you will follow your own path, improving your knowledge and skills, learning to reflect critically on your own position, role and work as well as on the world around you.
Hybrid practice
Participants of our programme stem from different practices, for instance art and design, but all share a fascination for painting. The combination of these disciplines enables you to develop your artistic vision, working in a hybrid practice as a critical and engaged artist. As your art engages with the world, you will grow as an individual as well as in your artistic profession, reinforcing the power of your imagination and exploring your own connection to a transforming, technologically charged society.
Research programme
Art and research
Art and research play a major part in this master programme, encouraging you to understand and develop your own method of working through reflection and comparative research. You will carry out research into the position of the art of painting in the contemporary context. Technological developments for example greatly influence social and cultural changes, but in turn these developments are triggered by cultural, social, ecological and economical factors. Painting is challenged to get to grips with technological as well as social changes, constantly renewing itself and finding innovative ways to contribute to society.
Enriching your work and ideas
We encourage you to deepen and extend your artistic research into scientific disciplines. Seeking connections between science and art in combination with a critical attitude and the ability to analyse and imagine, you will reach new insights and contribute in your own way to the worlds of art, society and science. By doing so, you will gain unexpected perspectives. The second year is almost entirely devoted to your graduation work and artistic research leading to your master thesis. During your time with us you will be part of a community where education, research and the artistic practice meet and reinforce each other.
Hybrid Arts Lab
For most of your work, research and lectures you will go to our building on the Praediniussingel. There you will find our Hybrid Arts Lab, also called HAL 24/7. Here we provide plenty of facilities, which you can use, technologically and otherwise as well as sufficient technical support. It includes an artistic technology research lab, seminar, project, lecture and exhibition rooms, media and photography studios, common workplaces, common kitchen and individual studios. Here you have the opportunity to explore the changes that are taking place in the world of visual art, such as 3D scanning and printing, smart materials, fluid crystals and bio materials. You also have access to your studio 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Expert meetings, artist's talks and exhibitions
At HAL 24/7 you can attend thought-provoking meetings, workshops and presentations with art professionals; for instance by lectors of the Centre of Applied Research and Innovation Art & Society. An interesting example is the expert meeting concerning photography research in cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural artistic practices, which involved current students and alumni. Every year, the research course 'Image & Experience in a Technologically Charged Society' organises different collaborative projects and workshops, for example, with Crew Immersive Media and Blast Theory.
Centre of Applied Research and Innovation Art & Society
The Art & Society research centre of the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen covers the practice based research of Minerva Art Academy. The Art & Society research centre consists of three research groups: Lifelong Learning in Music, Image in Context and Popular Culture, and Sustainability & Innovation.
First year: exploring possibilities
The first year of this master programme is mostly about exploring your chosen field. You will carry out your own research and studio work in our Hybrid Arts Lab. We will challenge you to explore how you can innovate and renew the art of painting, looking beyond the boundaries of a traditional approach and carrying out research into new, artistic possibilities. At the same time you will reflect critically on your own work and your artistic practice. You will find out how painting and other media, technology and disciplines are intertwined, to experience how you can benefit from these innovations in your own artistic practice. This will allow you to improve your knowledge and skills, get to know the international art practice, create new concepts and to discover the possibilities of artistic research.
First year highlights
* Working in your studio on your own development.
* Research & Media Theory: following theory and research courses about the relationship between visual perception psychology and media theory and between perception and cognition, current developments in media theory and links between the arts, visual communication and visual culture.
* Attending a series of lectures on relevant subjects at the University of Groningen, like history of art, psychology of art and art philosophy.
* Collaborating in a shared research course on 'Research & Development/New Media Art Practices with master students from the University of Groningen.
* Regular sessions where you and your fellow students present and discuss the results of experiments, workshops, research projects and your own progress; to each other, to experts and to the public.
* Individual or collective visits to relevant institutions, festivals and research centres.
Preparing for the second year
During your first year you will gradually focus on what you really want to concentrate on in your second year, gathering ideas, improving your skills and gaining new knowledge to prepare for your practical research. This way you can develop and refine your research plan, which you will carry out in your second year, and which will form the basis of your master thesis. At the end of your first year an assessment of your work will determine whether you are ready to enter the second year.
Second year: realising your artistic goals
At the start of your second year, you will begin to work on your graduation project. Most of your time will be devoted to working on this project. There will still be classes, although less than in the first year. Supervisors will advise and guide you and encourage your progress. Your goal is to realise your research project and write your master thesis. There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the year to share what you have learned and experienced with others during sessions, discussions and presentations. Depending on what you need, we will ask guest lecturers to contribute to the supervision of your research project. During a series of public dialogues, second year students will also discuss their work with guest lecturers and others, helping you to improve your work and take it to the next level.
Applying for prestigious awards
In addition, as a second year master student you can apply for special awards for excellent students of fine arts, for instance the 'George Verberg Grant', an annual, prestigious award of 10,000. This award enables the winner to spend a year in one of the Baltic States, Germany, Poland or Scandinavia in order to work there as an artist.
Second year highlights
* Working in your studio, individually or in collaboration with others, focusing on your work and research.
* Attending a series of lectures on relevant subjects at the University of Groningen, like history of art, psychology of art and art philosophy.
* Studying independently, supervised by your lecturers.
* Joining projects, collaborating with the Centre of Applied Research and other Hanze
* Visiting international exhibitions, biennials and triennials and an intensive study trip to New York.
* Regular sessions, where you and your fellow students present and discuss the results of experiments, workshops, research projects and your own work relating to your final project.
* Presenting and discussing your work at public occasions, exhibitions and public lectures.
Graduation work and master thesis
Towards the end of your second year you will create your graduation work and write a master thesis, showing your analytical skills, critical view and ability to reflect on your own work, as well as illustrating your research abilities. With this thesis you will also show us your future place in the world of art. You will present your artistic work and your master thesis at your public graduation. Upon your graduation you will be awarded the degree of Master of Fine Arts.
Work & Practice
Work and practice
To help you to reinforce your artistic profession you will visit relevant institutions, centres of expertise and art fairs. This way you will meet a broad range of people from the professional field so that you can build your own network of useful and inspirational contacts. In addition, you will work within an open, cross-media network of artists, technologists and scientists to develop your entrepreneurial attitude, realise your ideas, sharpen your vision and share your questions and solutions. What is just as important, is your artist attitude. We expect you to think and act like an investigative artist in an international practice, bringing together different perspectives in exciting work and projects. As such, we will help you to master these organisational skills, to raise funds, organise support and promote projects to the public.
Partners in art
To allow you to meet the right people and work with the technology you need for your projects, we have strong ties to a number of institutions and organisations. Like our Art & Society Research Centre, which covers the practice based research of the Minerva Art Academy and consists of three research groups: Lifelong Learning in Music, Image in Context and Popular Culture, and Sustainability & Innovation. Through these partners you will be able to get in touch with researchers of the University of Groningen.
Working with the University of Groningen
We also work closely with the University of Groningen, where you can attend lectures. Furthermore, we have contacts with different university researchers working at an expert level, for instance in the field of cultural geography. Depending on the nature of your artistic project, we will also help you to meet new partners. In addition, we organise international trips and visits to relevant biennials and triennials, cultural institutions and exhibitions in order to broaden your perspective. This includes a trip to New York in your second year.
Experimental art spaces
As a master student you can take part in exhibitions and projects of several of our partners. We collaborate with NP3 for instance, one of the experimental art spaces in Groningen for projects and exhibitions, with three totally different locations. We also work with Sign, a gallery that focuses on interdisciplinary, experimental and contemporary art, with the Visual Arts Centre in Groningen, Assen and Emmen and with the PeerGrouP in Donderen. Another partner is the Institute for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam.
Room for debate around art
During this master programme we encourage you to show your work and present your findings in a public debate. This allows you to enter into a dialogue with society concerning your artistic position; transforming the way people experience art, shaking them up, responding to their reactions and allowing others to influence your view of art. It is therefore not only the final result of your work that counts, but the process you go through to get there.
To show the world what you are doing, you are invited to join projects and take part in national and international projects and exhibitions. In the past our students have taken part in our own Energize Festival and the International Student Triennial Istanbul, for instance. We also participate in exhibitions and projects with Forum Images and other cultural institutions. During our Open Days Show you can show your work and get the possibility to work with a professional curator.

Hanze Scholarship selection procedure:
In the middle of October 2014 a list of students will be formed, based on the study results as known at the Student Administration of Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen. Only students who started their studies in September 2013 and will have finalized the first year of study (propedeuse) within one year, will be selected for this list. Should there be more candidates than available scholarships, a further selection will take place based on the average grade.

Dutch Scholarships
Dutch national grant system ('Studiefinanciering')
There is a national grant system in the Netherlands for students who are enrolled with a Dutch higher education institution. This grant is called 'studiefinanciering'. To be eligible for such a grant you:
* must be a Dutch national or have the same rights. You can check this with the nationality chart.
* have to be younger than 30.
Foreign students are generally not eligible for such a grant. Only EU/EEA-students under certain conditions can make use of 'studiefinanciering'. The authority responsible for this grant is Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO). We try to provide you with the correct information on the conditions for obtaining the grant. However, no rights can be derived from the information given here. More information about 'studiefinanciering' for EU/EEA-students is available at the website of DUO.
Loan tuition fees for EU/EEA students
If you are not eligible for Dutch study finance and you are a national of one of the countries which belong to the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) or you come from Switzerland, you may apply for a 'loan tuition fees' to pay your tuition fees (in Dutch: 'collegegeldkrediet').
BE AWARE: You always have to pay back the tuition fees loan, also if you do not finish your course or if you leave the Netherlands!
The authority responsible for this loan is DUO, the Dutch organization that is responsible for student loans and grants. We try to provide you with the correct information on the conditions for obtaining the grant. However, no rights can be derived from the information given here. DUO provides information in English at the Duo Website. We advise you to check the site regularly for up-to-date information.

Tender gangster romanceJuly 22,2013BOSTON It was a subtle distinction, for a psychopath.
I loved her, Stevie The Rifleman Flemmi said of his onetime girlfriend, Debbie Davis, a sparkling blonde Farrah Fawcett look-alike, but I was not in love with her.
Thats fortunate, since it would have made it ever so much harder to plan the 26-year-olds 1981 murder, look into her eyes as she was strangled in your parents house, strip off her clothes, yank out her teeth and then dig her grave in marshland by the Neponset River.
Deterring identification was his specialty. He was the one who pulled the teeth out of corpses. He was so meticulous at his job that his partner in the Winter Hill gang, Whitey Bulger, had his girlfriend, the dental hygienist, get Flemmi a proper set of extraction tools.
Its hard to imagine now, seeing the two old wiseguys snarling expletives at each other in court Dracula battling Frankenstein, as one Boston lawyer told The Associated Press. The 79-year-old Flemmi is hard of hearing and wears a cheesy windbreaker. But back in the day, Stevie and Whitey fancied themselves rat-a-tat-tat Romeos. Flemmi has said he was more adept with the ladies, but then, his taste ran to under-age girls.
The primary triangle in the Winter Hill gang involved Flemmi, Bulger and an FBI agent named John Connolly.
Whitey and Stevie got close in 1974, drawn together, funnily enough, by their clean-living ways. He didnt drink, he didnt smoke, he worked out regularly, said Flemmi, who described their relationship as strictly criminal.
And, though Bulger risibly keeps denying it, he worked as a rat for Connolly, another Southie who had grown up in awe of Whitey and his political kingpin brother, Billy. Connolly and Bulger took walks on the beach, and Bulger gave the FBI agent a diamond ring for his girlfriend and envelopes full of cash for vacations and at Christmas.
In return for being that most loathed thing in Irish culture, an informant, and providing information about the Mafia, Bulger got protection and tips from Connolly. That allowed him to play Jimmy Cagney, dispatching underworld enemies. He also got the signal to go on the lam.
Its always good to have connections in law enforcement to survive, Flemmi said, noting that they had about a half-dozen FBI agents on the payroll.
Zip Connolly began swanning around spending his ill-gotten gains $230,000 over the years on flashy clothes and a boat.
Whitey made the agent sell the boat, and he cut back on Zips cash payments. If he needed it, Flemmi said, he was going to have to explain what he wanted to do with it.
Flemmi was also a rat, recruited even earlier by a different corrupt FBI agent. The 83-year-old Bulger, neat and upright in jeans and sneakers, must have been seething as his former associate fingered him for his numerous, numerous meetings with the FBI, even though everyone already regards him as a cheese-eating rat fink, the inspiration for Jack Nicholsons character in The Departed.
Then there was the other deadly B-movie triangle. The 38-year-old Flemmi met Debbie Davis, who was working for a fence, when she was married and 17. Both got divorces, and Flemmi lavished her with a Mercedes, jewelry and vacations.
Whitey a low-key sort of a guy, according to Stevie was once more upset by the ostentation. And the competition.
He wasnt too happy with my relationship with her because it started to interfere with my business, Flemmi said. She required a lot of attention. She was a young girl.
Whitey called one night to summon Stevie while they were out celebrating Debbies birthday. She said, You meet him all the time during the day, why do you have to meet him now? Flemmi recalled.
Trying to assuage her, Flemmi blurted out inadvertently that they needed to see their FBI connection, Connolly.
Flemmi said that when Whitey learned of the slip, he ordered her killed because they owed it to Connolly.
I couldnt do it, Flemmi said. He knew it. He says, Ill take care of it. They continued to work together until 1994, but the sour taste lingered. It affected me, and its going to affect me till the day I die, Flemmi said.
Stevie lured Debbie to the house in South Boston facing Billy Bulgers house under the pretext of wanting decorating tips. Whitey claims he would no more kill a woman than be a rat. But Flemmi says Bulger grabbed Debbie by the neck as soon as they walked in and strangled her all the way down to the basement.
One juror cried as Flemmi told the grisly tale of wrapping Debbie in a tarp, throwing her in the trunk and driving her to Quincy.
I dug the hole, Flemmi said, while Whitey sat on the side and watched. In a weary, bitter tone, the Rifleman concluded, Thats what he does.

Synchronizing Opera bookmarks with Perl, Org, and git
Note that the module/dist has now since been renamed to App::adr2org (and its counterpart App::org2adr).
Also, I just took a look that Opera already has a *direct* .adr import/export feature, making my module unnecessary. Unless, when you still want to use Org to store the master document (which I do).

Introducing IOD file format
Also, note that in the case of "actual data determining your data structure" IOD is not different from YAML which trinita uses: whether a parameter is scalar or array is still determined by the config. Config::MVP is different in that it uses some sort of "outside schema" to specify that a parameter needs to have a certain form/value.

How do we know when a CORE module is deprecated?
Come on, it's not that tragedy. On RedHat perl-CGI is already packaged.
It is not that difficut to include instructions for those who want to port their CGI scripts.
Something like
sudo cpan CGI
will do the trick ;)
I think Perl can move on and remove CGI.pm from core modules.
What it is really missing in the core, in my opinion, are IO::Socket::SSL and Plack.
Look at Node.js core, for example http://nodejs.org/api/tls.html
