Killing Shadows
My new article for the Huffington Post which shares some personal reflections after returning from implementing #MeWeSyria communications workshops with refugee youth in the Middle East…
#MeWeSyria: Syrian refugee youth persevere
Here are some pictures taken while leading #MeWeSyria communications workshops in the #Zaatari refugee camp. Syrian refugee youth–enduring harsh sun and desert weather–bravely managed to write and direct their own films about hardships, hope, equality, and their dreams. The boys and girls groups, pictured below, successfully completed 4 short films of their own. Thanks to Jamie from the @Questscope NGO. Questscope kindly hosted my project and are leading incredible mentoring and informal education programs inside Zaatari refugee camp.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Exhibition and Screenings of MeWe:
Huffington Post: #MeWeSyria
HUFFINGTON POST ARTICLE ABOUT THE FINAL OUTCOMES OF #MEWESYRIA PROJECT (Includes new videos)
Text from Huffington Post:
In the usual discourse, stories about refugees tend to be driven by numbers. Thirty-five: the amount of liters of water allowed per person, per day in the Za'atari refugee camp for Syrian refugees. Five-hundred thousand: the approximate number of Syrian refugees in Jordan. Four hundred: the number of Syrians crossing into Jordan on most days. Seventeen: the average number of years people in the world are living as refugees. But there is something beyond the numbers that does not get visibility.
While implementing the MeWe communications workshops for Syrian refugees, I recently had the privilege of getting to know Syrian youths living inside Jordan's Za'atari refugee camp and in the city of Zarqa. Here is what I felt and saw: resistance and the courage to hope.
No, I do not mean 'resistance' in the sense of politics and warfare. Instead, I am speaking of resistance to arresting one's life to darkness and giving-up. I saw resistance when meeting a refugee in Za'atari setting up his room inside a caravan in order to properly receive his wife, who is still across the border in Syria. Resistance is mustering the courage and discipline to go to class in the refugee camp, walking through dust storms under the hot sun, just to try and learn something new. Resistance is celebrating the birth of a child in the camp; openly remembering home; and thinking of your dreams before the war and how to pursue them after it. It's sharing your 35 liters of water with a neighbor in more need of it. Resistance is cracking a smile in the face of darkness. These are are moments of the human sprit that weather the world's failures everyday. Beyond the 'burden' narrative surrounding refugees, everyday in places like Za'atari, refugees are choosing to live and give back to the world, instead of taking from it or cursing it as the dominant narrative seems to portray.
I have been leading communications workshops for refugee youth, and in the process have see their brilliance and spirit of resistance first hand. Over the course of six weeks, six short films were written, directed and performed by the refugees themselves. These films share some of the insights, stories and dreams for their future. Everything in this project — from how the camera is held to the messages — is a product of the hearts, minds and hard work of the refugee youth. None of the stories were political. Instead, they explored topics of not giving up on one's dreams, discrimination against people with disabilities, and the importance of hope.
The initial workshops started with awkward silence, empty pages and frustrated sighs. Throughout the intensive workshops, the refugee youth were challenged to debate the significance of communications, to make mistakes, and to open up spaces for confidence and self expression. The biggest barriers I noticed were in the youth's lack of ability to imagine and think beyond the physical and political conditions imposed upon them. Many did not know what imagination was or why it was important. The same was true for the concept of communications.
By the end of the workshops however, the room was filled with positive energy and the noise of creativity and ambition. Each smile cracked away at anxiety, lack of self confidence and fear. It is these tiny cracks that eventually let the light in. "There may be concrete walls around us now in this room and around Za'atari, refugee camp," I told the groups. "In the mind and the heart, we must not have walls. Instead, we have keys to solutions, lessons, new ideas."
Inch by inch, we hammered at these barriers and gradually moved towards message delivery, script writing and film making. All the while, the workshops reminded the youth that in order to change our own condition, as well as that of our world, we must learn to first listen and speak to ourselves, and then we must speak to the world. None of the messages were violent or political.
The films are currently in a public exhibition at the Young Eyes Gallery in Amman, Jordan. The urban refugees from Zarqa attended the opening last week and proudly presented their messages to the community. Since the Za'atari refugees were unable to get the necessary permissions to leave the camp, we put on a cinema and presentation inside the refugee camp at Questscope's caravan. (See the #MeWeSyria video above about the final screenings.)
What is the point of all this, really? Why do all this? One man provided me the answer to these questions. "It is better to light a candle than to curse the dark," he said.
The barriers are perceived as unbreakable, but what I found was that barriers can and will be broken down all the time, all around us. The world may be failing the youth of Syria by not realizing peace, but the youth of Syria will not fail the world.
*This project would not have been possible without the support of the German government, the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, UNFPA, the Family Guidance Awareness Center, the staff and brilliant volunteers of Questscope – supported by UNESCO and EU — and the Young Eyes Arts Center.
#MeWeSyria: Movie trailer
Check out the trailer for the #MeWeSyria films produced by the Syrian refugee youth in the Me/We communications worships. Trailer produced by Lucas McGhee from Young Eyes.
The opening of the Me/We Exhibition is today. Been up all night editing and getting the films and Young Eyes Gallery ready.
I am also nervous to see how some of the refugee youth will react to seeing thier final films on screen.
Final workshops in Zaatari: #MeWeSyria
Just led my final #MeWeSyria communications workshop with the boys group in the #Zaatari refugee camp w/ Questscope. Some of the youth are bummed our program is almost over, but they are buzzing with excitement and confidence in the stories, messages and films we pulled together. The#refugee youth have taken brave steps in breaking mental walls for expression, communications & imagination over the last month. I am in awe of the resilience and love within these kids. I am so proud to have gotten to work with them. In total, the boys and girls groups have finished writing, directing and filming 6 short stories—each with key messages and lessons, and of course NO politics. While the politics of the world may fail their homeland, the youth of Syria will not fail our world.
#MeWeSyria exhibition at Young Eyes gallery is this Saturday, 14-22 June. I am also putting on a screening in the refugee camp on Monday. Keep these beautiful kids in your prayers. Stay tuned for more and click on #MeWeSyria on Twitter to learn more…

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- It'll take more than just signatures to get medical marijuana on the ballot. If passed, doctors would be allowed to prescribe pot to patients. But some Florida lawmakers are against the issue, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, who filed a challenge to it. While Charle Crist, a Democratic candidate for Governor, said he's open to it.
"If you're a real doctor and you're prescribing for somebody who is really in pain and suffering, why would you oppose it?" said Crist.
In Naples, many voters tell WINK news they are indifferent to the issue.
"I'm on either side, I mean people should be able to do what they want to do if they can not harm anybody else then it doesn't hurt anybody so."
"If it's something that is medically proven that will help people and take some pain away, it's not an addictive substance and it's done this way, it's controlled by the state, so if people need it and it will help them I think it's a good idea and let people then decide, let it be on the ballot and let the people vote on it."
"It'd be fine. I don't care. I would vote yes, they could make some money. Tax it."
The arguments are expected to last 60 to 90 minutes and it could be weeks before the Supreme Court makes its decision.

Testing Procedure
Each sample was mounted in a Tony's SpeakEZ enclosure with a red wire to the + and a black wire to the - leads. Each lead and the speaker were sealed in the enclosure with silicone and the enclosure labeled with the individual speaker code.
The results were very interesting. In all groups but one, the winners were consistent. In this one group the winner differed by only one point between the groups. The results identified the best speakers in each group, which all teams agreed had sound significantly better than those currently available. We also found that all samples tested sounded better with the 220µF capacitor than any other value. We also found that any value higher than 220µF the improvement was insignificant. The smaller values worked, but if you can fit the 220µF use it, or the biggest size you can fit.
Regardless of your installation, you can be assured that using our installation, muting techniques, and capacitor recommendation you can start with the best possible speaker. In the future we hope to be testing new speakers as they become available and exploring various combinations of sizes and wiring solutions.

The Coca-Cola and UNDP cooperate on "Every Drop Matters"
The Coca-Cola Company has pledged US$2 million this year – the International Year of Water Cooperation – to Every Drop Matters, a long-standing collaboration between the drinks giant and United Nations Development Programme(UNDP).
Ankara – The latest pledge adds to the US$11 million the Coca-Cola Company has already contributed to Every Drop Matters since its launch in 2006.
Every Drop Matters tackles challenges related to water supply, sanitation, water management and climate change around the world.
Every Drop Matters provides grants for local groups to undertake projects that improve access to water, improve water quality, lead to better water management and help communities adapt to climate change.
The programme has projects in 18 countries and is an inspiring model of how big business can cooperate with a respected development agency, to help local people and safeguard water for the future.
"Our vision is to help achieve the Millennium Development Goal on improving access to safe water and good sanitation, which can change people's lives in so many ways," says Dr Boğaçhan Benli, Programme Manager for Every Drop Matters.
"It can especially make a big difference for women and girls, because they're usually the ones fetching water, which takes a lot of time. Also women usually care for anyone in the family who gets sick from unsafe water or poor hygiene. If you improve this, you can free up time and money for other things, like going to school or starting a business", Benli added.
The projects supported through Every Drop Matters are diverse and involve cooperation at varying regional and local scales.
One such example is the Black Sea Box, an environmental education kit for schoolchildren, which includes over 50 games. The Black Sea is the world's most polluted sea and the Black Sea Box is part of a broad effort to raise awareness of the need to cooperate in cleaning up and taking care of this important shared water resource.
At Expo 2012, the Black Sea Box was recognised as one of 11 projects showing global best practice on water.
"This partnership shows what can happen when a global business such as Coca-Cola and the UNDP work together on a critical issue," explains Dr. Kadri Özen, Public Affairs Director, Coca-Cola Eurasia and Africa Group.
"This is what we call the Golden Triangle… The collaboration between business, government and civil society. Other evidence of the value in this collaboration is shown by the 'Clean Sea for Clean City' project, which attracted other partners including the Sochi 2014 Olympics organizing committee and the City of Sochi. This initiative won the Harmony with Nature award in the recently held Sochi 2014 Sustainability Awards", Özen added.
The work to clean up the polluted Aghstev River in Armenia and promote eco-tourism is another prime example of the power of cooperation. Work started with a small seed grant from Every Drop Matters. Progress on the clean-up attracted further funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Success bred success and Every Drop Matters and the Armenian Government provided additional funds to help meet the goals. The additional funding, plus a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, helped build wastewater treatment works and rebuild crumbling local sewers. Cleaner water is making a big difference to the health and well-being of people in towns along the river and downstream in Azerbaijan, and opening up economic opportunities.
In the small community of Marwaheen in water-scarce South Lebanon, farmers and villagers cooperated in an Every Drop Matters project to secure their water supply. They reclaimed and restored a traditional water harvesting and storage system. The successful restoration has made the water supply more reliable, and local farmers are now profiting from being able to grow vegetables with irrigation.
Every Drop Matters is offering funding to more such local groups, beginning in May. "We may have the involvement of two of the world's largest organizations," says Boğaçhan Benli, "but all our projects begin with what a local community really needs."
This was clearly demonstrated with another Every Drop Matters project in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka, which helped the community to build latrines, dig wells and receive environmental and hygiene education. It also makes life safer for women and girls, who now have secure toilet facilities and do not have to find places in the open. In an area of Sri Lanka badly hit by both the 2005 tsunami and a long-running civil war, this investment in basic infrastructure is desperately needed.
Every Drop Matters is continuously looking for new strategic partners.
According to Cihan Sultanoğlu, UNDP Assistant Administrator and Director of the Regional Bureau for Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, this type of innovative partnership is a model worth being examined and replicated.
"With diverse experiences and expertise, the partners complement each other and together deliver a range of support that exceeds what each could offer on its own" she says.

|Slow Cooker Briskets Tacos with a sauce featuring parsley and tomatillos! (Photo from Coconut and Lime.)
When it comes to any type of Mexican food, I'm a green sauce kind of gal. This fondness for any sauce with tomatillos is what originally attracted me to these Slow Cooker Brisket Tacos with Green Sauce from Coconut and Lime. Then I read Rachel's brilliant idea to add the onions, garlic, tomatillos, jalapenos, and parsley to the slow cooker with the brisket, so the meat creates its own sauce while it cooks. Rachel is another food blogger who loves to use her slow cooker during the summer, and she says this might be her best slow cooker brisket recipe to date!

Theater review
At ACT Theatre: A 'First Date' that really clicks
"First Date," a new musical premiering at ACT Theatre, is a frisky, funny and warmhearted look at a blind date between two skeptical daters. Through May 20.
Seattle Times theater critic
'First Date'Through May 20. A coproduction of ACT and 5th Avenue Theatre, at ACT Theatre, 700 Union St., Seattle; $15-$69 (888-584-4849 or www.acttheatre.org).
Attending the world premiere of a new musical is rather like going out on a blind date. You don't know what you're getting into.
Will you click with this stranger, or have little in common with him/her? Be bored stiff, or entranced?
The fix-up portrayed in the delightful new musical "First Date" at ACT Theatre isn't an instant love connection.
But this crowd-pleasing show attracts the audience from the moment nervous, nebbishy Aaron (Eric Ankrim) enters a bistro to meet sleek, skeptical Casey (Kelly Karbacz).
The best coproduction by ACT and 5th Avenue Theatre up to now, "First Date" has the smart, frisky appeal of a choice episode of "Sex and the City" — minus the bed-hopping. (Karbacz even resembles that TV rom-com's star, Sarah Jessica Parker.)
Yet this is very much a musical, up to date in the hilarious zingers "Gossip Girl" writer-producer Austin Winsberg peppers the script with, and in the clever lyrics and rapping in the zesty score by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner.
As funny and fresh as the quips about social media, Newt Gingrich, et al, are, "First Date" also injects warmth and psychological insight into what adults in their late 30s longing for love go through to find it.
The show has a dandy way of exposing the psychic process, with a five-person chorus of diners who nimbly morph into the couple's nagging "inner critics."
They represent the emotional baggage Casey and Aaron bring to the date, the fears and self-defeating impulses triggered by this initially awkward matchup.
Specters of her bad-boy ex-boyfriends (played with macho brio by Brandon O'Neill and Benjamin Harris) try to entice Casey away from "nice guy" Aaron, in the hot number "That's Why You Love Me."
The uproarious "The Girl for You" has Aaron's Jewish ancestors revolting at the idea their boychik might wed a shiksa (non-Jew).
Friends, a shrink and the spirits of Facebook, Twitter and Google also intrude. So do, inevitably, parents. (And, in too-caricatured a fashion, Casey's gay pal.) As a song lyric laments, "It's a miracle people ever get together."
The darker neuroses may be weighted a tad too much toward Casey, who in Karbacz's strong turn is a cynical commitment-phobe after too many romantic disasters.
In contrast, Aaron is remarkably unjaded — for a successful investment banker whose ex (Vicki Noon) ditched him at the altar.
Ankrim is a total hoot as this endearingly insecure square whose foot keeps popping into his mouth, and who ties himself in knots over what drink to order.
After his lead role in 5th Avenue's "Oklahoma!," Ankrim shows here he's not just a fine singer, but a marvelous physical and verbal comedian.
Musically, the pop-flavored tunes are fairly generic. But lyrically, they are terrific — snappy and irreverent in the main, yet thoughtful in a couple of introspective ballads, and the Sinatra-esque "I'll Order Romance" (sung with joyful élan by Richard Gray).
It's overdue, and essential, to praise Bill Berry's crisp direction, and Josh Prince's perfectly timed musical staging.
And the first-rate chorus/ensemble (which also includes Billie Wildrick) aces every challenge "First Date" throws at them.
It's another mark in the show's favor that it contains many swings of emotion, and an ending that's more about new beginnings than happy-ever-afters. This is, after all, only a first date — but a very promising one.

Swinging Door Hinge Offset Door Hinges for WheelChair Access is for sale and available from our online store. VitalityMedical.com is the place to purchase
Duro-Med Chair Furniture Aids.
The Swinging Door Hinge by Duro Med, or Expandable Door Hinge, allows barrier-free access for most wheelchairs by adding 2" to any doorway opening. These offset door hinges install easily and allow you to use existing screws and holes. They also feature an attractive brass finish.
Features of the Swinging Door Hinge - Offset Door Hinges
I found the Swinging Door Hinge Offset Door Hinges for Wheel Chair Access very useful. They add an extra 2 inches to the doorway making wheelchair passage easy. It gives more space for moving and reduces the damage to the walls and casings. This is a really useful product for the wheelchair users who feel that the normal doorways are too small to move in and out.
This was the most reasonable place to purchase these expandable door hinges! They are easy to install....just take out the old and put in the new. The door ends up flush with the jam and gives you a couple extra inches of doorway clearance for wheelchairs and such!! I highly recommend them rather than banging up your doorways!
This has relly helped getting in out thru the doors thanks
Our house was built in the 60's and there was no planning for an elderly person who uses a walker and wheelchair - narrow doors. The extra two inches it provides is wonderful. I'm getting one more hinge so my bedroom door can be put back in place!
As an occupational therapist, previous walker user and current wheelchair user, I have recommended and used these hinges for decades, In many homes, bathroom doors are only 23" wide. When visiting, I was unable to walk through such doorways without awkwardly turning my wrists inside the walker bars to keep my knuckles from getting badly scraped. The improper hand position made walking unsafe, especially with the change in flooring at the bathroom doors. I didn't have that problem at home, with the hinges in place. I recommend replacing hinges in your house/apartment everywhere that is the only thing keeping a person in a wheelchair from passing through. That family member/friend should be as free to move about your home as everyone else! In a rental/ don't forget to keep the old hinges and switch them out when you move so you can take your" freedom hinges" with you to your new home.

No more then we have now. This is far beyond disgusting!
No more then we have now. This is far beyond disgusting!
I had them going 6-10 at the start of the season. Now I'm thinking I was overly optimistic.
We have an expansion team offense and a head coach who basically knows nothing about building an offense or dealing with a crisis.

J. Namath
I'm going 6-10 or 5-11.
5 and 11.
They'll pull out 3 more wins (there are some other really bad teams in this league)
Four more wins. Where, I don't know, but somewhere. Indianapolis? St. Louis or Seattle? Jacksonville? Tennessee? Maybe Buffalo? (Not all of these). The rest are shoe-in losses.
That's about it.
The Titans?!
3-13 book it. That's only if they fire Rex before the end of the season.
I honestly dont know where you guys get these inflated wins totals? 6 wins with this actual roster? I thought and predicted 4 wins right on this forum in late August. Of course some people blasted me but whatever. With the talent we have on our team right this second we honestly will not win one more game. That being said anything is possible so I will say we end up 3-13. Of course if I am wrong I am will be very very happy but I honestly just dont see it and cant imagine how anyone else would see it.
The next 2 weeks will define the season IMHO. I believe like everyone else that we will lose to the Texans, but by how much? Then if we lose at home to Luck and the Colts, than we win 1 more game, maybe.
I was thinking 6-10 but these are the Jets. We will be 3-8 and win 5 in a row so we can still not make the playoffs and screw up having a good draft pick.
Before the year, I thought this was a 7 to 8 win team
I'd say we end up either 4-12 or 5-11
I knew this would be the rough patch of the schedule (surviving the first 5 games), but the way they have looked so far coupled with the injuries gives me no hope. I mean I knew the offense was going to suck especially in the beginning, but what is more shocking to me is how bad the defense is.
OK that last game was disgusting, but the defense is still good enough to carry the rest of the team. The O has to get better, Keller will definitely help and one of these WRs might turn into something.
A pissed off Niners team after our best player is lost for the year is a recipe for disaster, but to start with the kneejerk 3-13 predictions now is just foolish. Like a previous poster said the NFL has way too much parity right now for the Jets to win only 1 or 2 out of the next 12.
I definitely think we see a bounce back next Monday night. A win will be really tough but Houston is coming in ready for an easy game (think SF v Minny week 3), maybe Rex will get our guys to actually hit them in the mouth. Love to see anyone say 4-12 after a win next week, if it were that impossible the line wouldn't be 7.

UN experts 15 April called for halt to arms shipments via Côte d'Ivoire for MINUSMA peacekeepers in Mali, following discovery of unexplained excess of Chinese military hardware in cargo transiting via Abidjan; 17 April accused Issiaka Ouattara aka "Wattao", senior army officer and former rebel commander, of breaking diamond embargo.
