- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

The recall effort against Mayor Alvarez that culminated with the March 15, 2011 vote began September 2010 after county commissioners passed a budget that raised property taxes while at the same increasing the salaries of county employees. On Thursday, September 23rd, the Miami-Dade County Commission, on an eight-to-five vote, passed a $7.3 million budget, which included increases in salaries for county employees worth a total of $132 million as well as a rise in property taxes by "as much as 14 percent in some cases."

2009 recall effort
A report from The Miami Herald in August 2009 stated that Alvarez had given his Director of Communications, Victoria Mallete, a fifty-four percent raise in 2008, which brought her annual salary to $125,000. The Mayor argued that the raise actually saved the county more than $100,000 since Mallete replaced two other executives. The problem with this claim, however, is that, according to county records, the two replaced employees were still on the county payroll when the change was made in 2008. County documents show that both employees made $315,839 in 2007. And even though they had been replaced in 2008, each of the former public employees was receiving $350,243 annual salary, an increase from the previous year.
Mallete, however, was not alone in receiving a raise; in fact, "12 employees of the mayor have received raises of more than 10 percent since last year." [6] What made this worse in the public's eyes was that, at the same time this was occurring, Mayor Alvarez was "calling for 5% salary cuts of Miami Dade Employees in the proposed budget." [6]
At this point, public sentiment seemed split on the issue of a recall. A local survey commissioned by Local 10 News and conducted by Bendixen & Associates, a multilingual and multiethnic research group, showed that in September 2009 approximately forty-six percent of voters would support a recall of Mayor Alvarez while forty-seven percent said they would oppose it. Additionally, forty-five percent of those interviewed stated that they had a negative opinion of the county commission for its recent budget decisions. [7]
Petition lawsuit
Miami Lakes Mayor Michael Pizzi filed a suit on September 14, 2009 in hopes of undoing a controversial requirement that has been effect for three years. The requirement that was a point of contention for Pizzi stated that there can be only one signature per page and an allowance of a signer to rescind their signature within two weeks of signing, a stipulation, he argued, made it especially difficult for initiatives to gain ballot access. If the requirement had been overturned, it would have made it easier to force a recall election targeting Mayor Alvarez. [8]
Path to the ballot
A previous effort to recall Alvarez has been launched in December 2009. The Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court approved the intent to recall petition filed by Lázaro R. González, a local 63-year old former lab technician, on Friday, December 4th. [9] Supporters of the petition argued that the Mayor's inability to properly deal with the county's $427 million budget deficit, along with his controversial decision to issue double-digit raises to county advisors, led to their decision to demand he be recalled. [10] In January 2010, several local unions including AFSCME Local 121, which represents 1,700 employees in the county's water and sewer department, and Transport Workers Union Local 291, which represents 2,500 employees in the county's transportation department, voiced their support for the petition. [11]
The recall movement, however, was ultimately squashed after supporters fell short of collecting the necessary 52,108 signatures required to force a recall election. [12]
2011 recall effort
Rumblings about another recall effort against Mayor Alvarez began in September 2010 after county commissioners passed a budget that raised property taxes while at the same increasing the salaries of county employees. On Thursday, September 23rd, the Miami-Dade County Commission, on an eight-to-five vote, passed a $7.3 million budget, which included increases in salaries for county employees worth a total of $132 million as well as a rise in property taxes by "as much as 14 percent in some cases." [5]
Norm Braman, the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles football team and now the owner of a string of automative dealerships throughout Southern Florida, vowed shortly after the votes came down to launch a recall campaign against Alvarez. Braman is not a stranger to battling tax increases. He helped kill a Miami City sales tax proposal in 1982 that would have helped renovate the Orange Bowl for the Miami Dolphins football program. Most recently, Braman filed suit against "a giant $3 billion public works deal that includes a long-sought stadium for baseball's Florida Marlins." [13] He contends that the deal, approved by the Miami-Dade County Commission in December 2007, violates Florida's Sunshine Law requiring open government since negotiations were conducted in private sessions. Braman's suit argued further that the proposal "improperly uses money intended to cure urban blight and help poor people." [13] Braman's main point of contention with the proposal is that either the matter should be privately financed, something the cost-conscious Marlins owners are adverse to discussing, or it should be put before the voters as a referendum. While his suit failed in State Circuit Court, Braman said that he is willing to bringing it before the State Supreme Court, if necessary.
Path to the ballot
On Monday, September 27th, 2010, Braman, who was joined by Carlos Lopez-Cantera, majority whip in the State Legislature and a Miami Republican, held a press conference where he announced his campaign to recall Mayor Alvarez. The tipping point for him was what he considered to be the "outrageous tax increase" enacted by the County Commission in the midst of a recession in which "citizens are suffering economically, property values have crumbled, foreclosures are rampant, and unemployment has reached almost 13 percent in our county." [14]
In response, Alvarez came out swinging against Braman, arguing that property tax rates had to be increased to protect vital services, such as local police and fire departments. Not mincing words, the Alvarez said he didn't "want to be the mayor that frankly craps on public service and the quality of life for our people." [15] As for the salary increases for county employees, he claims they were locked in by contracts that could not be reworked. "We have explained this ad nauseum," he stated in a press conference, "I guess the Miami Herald does not have the brain capacity to understand what we have tried to explain." [15]
A few days later, Alvarez demonstrated that he was taking Braman's petition seriously by forming a brand new political action committee called Citizens For Truth, which "allows the mayor to accept unlimited financial donations from fundraisers to bankroll his fight," and retaining Bruce Rogow, "a veteran litigator and appellate attorney, who aided the county leader's successful ballot initiative in 2007 to win strong-mayor powers." [16] [17]
Norman Braman spoke with Enrique Santos, a radio and television personality, on his radio program for WRTO 98.3 FM in Miami about the recall campaign:
On Friday, November 5th, Norman Braman personally delivered 112,849 recall petitions to Harvey Ruvin, Miami-Dade County's Clerk of Courts. [18] Short thereafter, however, Mayor Alvarez filed suit to have those petitions tossed based on a technicality, claiming that the October 6th "letter from the Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts approving the petition that cleared the way for recall signatures to be gathered was improperly signed." [19] The letter in question was signed by Diane Collins, a deputy clerk, not Harvey Ruvin, the Clerk of Courts, something Bruce Rogow, Alvarez's attorney, contends violates the Charter. The suit flies in the face of an argument made by The Miami Herald which stated that "Alvarez's petition drive for strong mayor powers was approved in 2005 by a letter signed by a deputy clerk as well." [19]
The recall campaign against Mayor Alvarez received a major boost on November 16th when United States Senator-elect Marco Rubio stated the he backed Braman's efforts and he himself had signed the petition. Rubio argued that what "they did with property taxes, it's just completely out of line with the reality of the economic circumstances that residents in Miami-Dade are facing." [20] The up and coming Republican politician had been at one point considered a challenger against Alvarez in 2008.
Nearly a month after filing in court to have the recall petitions against him dismissed, Mayor Alvarez dropped his lawsuit after testimony from Clerk of Courts Harvey Ruvin demonstrated that he "did actually have personal involvement in the approval." [21]
The Clerk of Courts for Miami-Dade County announced on Tuesday, December 21st that the necessary signatures were legally collected and officially certified the petitions. [22] County commissioners would have ninety days thereafter to hold a recall election.

Comments about Cane Creek Gray Matter Brake Shoes:
I used these brake pads for refurbishing a 72 Schwinn I found in a barn. They stop well, don't cost much, and don't stand out as a modern item on a classic bike. If they had the old Schwinn peach color, they'd be perfect.

Comments about Cane Creek Gray Matter Brake Shoes:
I recently restored an old sears 10 speed (probably a late 70's model) and used these pads because they were inexpensive and looked similar to the original pads. I am surprised at how well these pads work, especially as cheap as they are. So far I've ridden well over 20 miles without any problems, noise, or lack in stopping power (besides my brake cables stretching a bit). These are a great buy for those on a budget! 5 stars all the way.

The latest publishing sales figures show a sharp rise in the sales of E-Books at the same time that the total number of book sales on all platforms took a minor hit. In their just released January 2011 sales report, the Association of American Publishers (AAP) noted a 115.8% increase in net sales of e-books from the previous year while overall book sales dropped by 1.9%.
In higher education, one of the pressing questions will be how might this change in reading affect the textbook market? Will students and instructors embrace digital texts? The social learning platform Xplana projects that by the end of 2011, 3% of the total textbook market will be digital and that growth will be explosive over the next five years. By the end of 2016, they expect the total sales of digital textbooks to reach 26% of all new textbooks.
The advent of new reading platforms suggests the possibility to develop new ways of interacting with learning material. While some publishers might simply settle to replicate a print product in a digital form, other more innovative developers might embed assessments or opportunities for reflection within the text. User-controlled multimedia might help students replay presentations or simulate experiments. Books that are built for collaboration might help students jointly annotate a text or read annotations by their own instructor. There are many ways a new textbook could evolve, and let's hope that with such stunning sales figures and projections, publishers and authors seize this moment to reinvent rather than replicate the text.

Seattle Mariners Tickets
Seattle Mariners Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013 Record (71-91) Missed playoffs The Seattle Mariners have arguably one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Felix Hernandez, or King Felix, however, was unable to do it on his own. The 2013 Mariners struggled to find their footing and finished well out of the playoff picture in the AL West. Manager Eric Wedge was let go at the end of the year and the Mariners brought in Lloyd McClendon, who most recently managed the 2005 Pirates, to right the ship. The Mariners struggling offense pushed the front office to break the bank for a slugger in the middle of the lineup. In the most surprising move of the offseason the Mariners signed former Yankee second baseball, Robinson Cano to a 10 year $240 million contract. The Mariners now find themselves within striking distance in the AL West. Cano has lived up to the big contract so far and is off to a hot start in 2014. Ace, King Felix, continues to put up stellar numbers. Can the dynamic duo of Cano and Hernandez lead the Mariners back into the playoffs? Find out this summer and catch the Mariners in action at beautiful Safeco Field. For the best seat at the best price at Gold Coast Tickets today!

It's time for a carbon tax
Yes, we love the Earth. Regarding climate change, cleaning up Puget Sound, ocean acidification, habitat degradation, and energy security, however, rhetoric by itself is a poor salve. We need plans, and we need to act.
To battle climate change and rebuild America's infrastructure, the most prudent strategy is what writer Thomas Friedman terms a "radical center" solution. A phased-in carbon tax could raise a trillion dollars over 10 years. It would placate conservatives if it's linked to individual tax-rate cuts while directly addressing climate change. A carbon tax of $20 a ton is a radically sensible brainstorm that merits consideration. And as Friedman warns, "If we treat every good big idea as 'dead on arrival' then so are we."
Closer to home, we can encourage Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert to pressure fellow Washington Republican and House Natural Resources Committee Chair Doc Hastings to give his and Rep. Suzan DelBene's proposed Pratt River Wilderness bill a hearing and a vote. It's time. Reichert's credibility and farsightedness on conservation provide political leverage. The legislation will safeguard more than 22,000 acres of rare, low-elevation forest land in the Middle Fork and South Fork Snoqualmie River valleys. The bill also will protect nearly 30 miles of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River and 10 miles of the Pratt River with a Wild and Scenic River designation.
We always need to eyeball extractive industries and their fallout. On Thursday, conservationist J. Michael Fay presented a slideshow at the UW's Burke Museum documenting the ravages of a largely unregulated $8 billion-a-year mining industry in British Columbia. We figure we live in Eden, but one Google Earth picture is worth 1,000 activists.
When Earth Day was first celebrated in the Pacific Northwest 43 years ago, a U.S. Senator with Everett roots observed, "As the relentless degradation of our environment moves at a faster pace, time is running out. We have begun the decade of decision, and the next few years will determine our ability to reverse the tragic course of the present. Whatever problems we face, nothing will seal our collective fate faster than disinterest, apathy or the despair of those who have no faith in our capacity to succeed."
It's a truism resonant today. We can succeed in saving our environment, presupposing we have the courage to act.

The annual Glenwood-Grey Bloem interschool match-up has been cancelled because of bad weather.
The two schools were supposed clash on Saturday in Durban, but the schoolboys from Bloemfontein were forced to pull out because of the dangerous weather conditions.
Grey Bloem were supposed to leave earlier this week, but road closures on the M3 and the snowfall up north saw them cancel the trip.
'It's disappointing to pull out, because we were looking forward to match against Glenwood,' Grey Bloem 1st XV head coach Ingo Machts told Schoolboy Derby. 'But the conditions up here are really dangerous, so we've had to call off the game.
'We'll now focus on our annual interschools derby against Paul Roos next weekend.'

Best Uses
Comments about Easton EC90 SL Road Clincher Wheels 2013:
All things considered, the best carbon clincher out there for all around use. About 6000km on the wheel set. As light as a 38mm carbon clincher should be. Good aero advantage at high speed, good breaking on long alpine DH (for carbon), very durable and stay true even on rough "coble like" surface and after hard impacts.
Cons: The outer bearings on the rear have a severe allergy to wet conditions (i.e. need new ones after a few hours in the rain, no issue with the inner bearings or the front wheel). Would not recommend for CX.

The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation coordinated a familiarisation tour to the Maldives for a group of four journalists representing various media targeting the German Travel Trade, Luxury market as well as the general consumer via daily News papers of the German speaking market from 7-14 June 2012.
Fam trips are a valuable tool through which journalists are able to better relay information about a destination after having experienced the product first hand. Hence, the main purpose of arranging such media fam trips is to bring journalists to Maldives to experience the product first hand in order to garner positive editorial publicity about the destination. Unlike paid advertising, the publicity generated through media relations efforts is the editorial opinion of the writer, which is often also considered more valuable than paid advertising.
Articles from this fam trip are guaranteed to be generated on German Travel Trade Press TIP Tourism Industry Professional (circulation of 15,000) and TIP daily (circulation of 10,000), Weekly Newspapers Karntner Tageszeitung (circulation 40,000), Karnten Journal (circulation 237,000) and Blitzlicht Revue (circulation 20, 000), Luxury Travel Magazine VIP International Traveller (circulation 85,000) and Daily Newspaper Passauer Neue Presse (circulation 180,000) during the course of the next weeks.
The hosting resorts for the fam trip are Dusit Thani (Baa Atoll), Zitahli Kudafunafaru (Noonu Atoll), Adaaran Select Meedhupparu (Raa Atoll) and Sheraton Maldives (Kaafu Atoll). The group also visited Male' and held a meeting with deputy Minister Maleeh Jamaal during which Destination information, as well as specific topics of interest such as information on future developments were shared.
Considering the decline in arrivals from some of the major markets in Europe and the bleak forecasts due to the economic crisis looming in Europe, Germany has maintained a positive outlook in terms of its arrival performance to the Maldives in the past months. 46,236 arrivals were registered from Germany by the end of May 2012. This is a 19.3 percent growth compared to the same period in 2011. With these favourable figures Germany emerges as the largest market to the Maldives from Europe and the second largest generating market to the destination as a whole.
Such media visits help Maldives to strengthen the positive image of the destination as well as to boost the arrivals from Germany to reach the destination's target of attracting a million tourists by the end of this year.

There is something here that you are not saying and when my instincts kick in I know it. I sense something is wrong with the way you are approaching this forum and its hard to pronounce. Peter

Essgee wrote:The Brolo name is found in the town of Arzignano in Venezia. If this is the town of your ancestors, the civil records are on microfilm at the Family History Library anc cover from 1806 to 1909. You can rent the films for a small fee and find all the birth, marriage, and death records for your ancestors this way.....this will help before you go to Italy yourself.
If your ancestor came from a different town, you can search for possible records at the FHL site.... www.familysearch.org
It would not be unusual to find a name with Celtic origins in Italy. Over the centuries, many groups came into Italy for numerous reasons. Some retreated after their mission was complete, but others stayed. Or the name could represent immigration to the area more recently...in the past couple of hundred years. Maybe if you can locate the length of time this family was in the Italian town of origin now, you could determine where the name intitially came from......
Good Luck.

Using invokeMethod & getProperty
Since 1.0, Groovy supports the ability to intercept all method and property access via the
invokeMethod and
get/setProperty hooks. If you only want to intercept failed method/property access take a look at Using methodMissing and propertyMissing.
Overriding invokeMethod
In any Groovy class you can override
invokeMethod which will essentially intercept all method calls (to intercept calls to existing methods, the class additionally has to implement the
GroovyInterceptable interface). This makes it possible to construct some quite interesting DSLs and builders.
For example a trivial
XmlBuilder could be written as follows (note Groovy ships with much richer XML APIs and this just serves as an example):
Another simple usage of invokeMethod is to provide simple AOP style around advice to existing methods. Here is a simple logging example implemented with invokeMethod:
Overriding getProperty and setProperty
You can also override property access using the
getProperty and
setProperty property access hooks. For example it is possible to write a trival "Expandable" object using this technique:

Spirit Win Napa Valley Wine Country Classic
To the Thunderbird Spirit 2011-12 Season Webpage
The Thunderbird Spirit U16 girl's soccer team won the Lily Nisen Memorial Soccer Tournament in Davis this weekend. The Spirit opened the tournament with a 1-0 win over the Davis Legacy and followed it up with a 3-0 win over the Capital FC Invasion. After losing 1-0 to the Danville Mustang Eagles in group play they avenged the loss with a 3-0 win over the Mustangs in the championship game. The Spirit had 2 goals each from Mia Horn and Amit Dhillon while Haylee Pedro, Colleen Turpen and Rebecca Lehman each added one. Spirit goalkeeper Madison Kelly allowed only one goal while the defense was led by Sarah Case, Makayla Modin, Haley St. George and Alaina Casazza. The Spirit controlled possession with strong midfield play from Lala Zabat, Sophia Ordonez, Joanna Chenaille and Megan Frizzie.
Sophia Ordonez scored a well placed second half goal chipping the ball over the goalkeeper's head to lead the Spirit to the win. The goal broke a scoreless tie in a game that was hard fought and end to end. Madison Kelly played outstanding as the Spirit goalkeeper, keeping a clean-sheet and preserving the victory with a diving save with just moments left in the game. Defenders Sarah Case, Alaina Casazza, Makayla Modin and LaLa Zabat were stellar as they shut down the potent Solano offense. The midfielders and forwards overcame the tall grass of the Solano field to maintain an edge in possession. Colleen Turpen, Amit Dhillon and Sophia Ordonez controlled the middle while Rebecca Lehman, Jojo Chenaille and Megan Frizzie ran aggressively down the sidelines creating numerous scoring opportunities. Forwards Mia Horn, Haylee Pedro, and captain Haley St. George provided great pressure on the Striker defense which contributed immensely to the Spirit win.

Appendix A: Diacritics
How to Use Diacritical Codes
Using the Diacritical Codes
The following chart lists the codes used to indicate diacritics
in the vocabulary data. Each code consists of the dollar sign
($) followed by two numbers. This code is placed before (in
front of) the letter to which the diacritical mark applies.
The same code can be applied to multiple letters. For example,
if an acute accent should be applied to an a (á),
it is recorded as $00a; if an acute accent should
be applied to an e (é), it is recorded as $00e.
In some cases, the code means that two diacritics are placed
over the same character (e.g., $30). In other isolated cases,
the code applies to two adjacent characters (e.g., $57, a
Adding New Codes
If you feel you have discovered a diacritic that needs to
be added to the list, consult with your supervisor. New codes
must be Unicode-compliant, so you should first research the
correct Unicode character.
Diacritical Codes: Quick Reference
Diacritical Codes: Full List
Please consult the full
list of diacritics and Unicode mapping as necessary.

Typeface notes:
Tim Donaldson, creator of Banshee and Coriander, brings us Postino - a quirky display type modeled roughly on the typewriter face, Courier. Sturdy yet playful, Postino is aptly named by the Italian word for postman or courier. Skimming through a back issue of Visible Language (a journal about written language), Tim was taken aback by the robust beauty of an emboldened Courier typeface. The book designer had used the face to make cheeky little headlines and they looked superb. Tim decided the world needed a typeface like this but one that poked its tongue out even a bit more, while still wearing its functional clothes. After doodling for some time, Postino and its Italic companion worked their way into being on Tims computer screen. Not-entirely-serious headlines, CD covers, childrens books, and advertising copy are all excellent uses for punchy Postino.

A cotton swab may be used to apply the paste. Do not attempt to spread or rub the paste in. This will only cause it to become crumbly, grainy, or gritty.Apply to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily after meals or at bedtime as directed by your doctor or dentist.The treated area should not be bandaged or otherwise covered or wrapped unless your doctor or dentist directs you to do so.Mouth infections may worsen while you are using this medication.

matcher.matches() returns false
Why does this code fail?
Because you think you do something like "Oh dear it contains the word!", but you're confusing matches with find
From Javadoc: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html#matches()
public boolean matches()
Attempts to match the entire region against the pattern.
So "/\.groovy/" is just a subsequence.
You must use
What is the difference between =~ and ==~ ?
- ~ is the Pattern symbol.
- =~ means matcher.find()
- ==~ means matcher.matches()
Pattern, Matcher ?
A pattern is not very useful alone. He's just waiting input to process through a matcher.
Matcher can say a lot of thing to you:
- if the entire input sequence matches the pattern, with
- if just a subsequence of the input sequence matches the pattern, with
A matcher with /groovy/ pattern finds a matching subsequence in the 'my groovy buddy' sequence.
On the contrary the whole sequence doesn't match the pattern.
Application: to filter a list of names.
A little tilde headache ? Remember like this
the pattern
roughly as the pattern (easy to write)
more than roughly, exactly as the pattern (think hard...)

1). Thanks for an answer, though I don't think you should 'tell' people to "Take a course in probability and statistics." just because they didn't understand the logic of one simple question everyone on Earth seems to get wrong. If you didn't mean it insultingly you should have just 'suggested' that 'I might like to take a course like that' because 'you found it helpful and interesting'. Something along those lines at least. You came across like you were insulting me.
Again.. it's the internet so I don't really know for sure how you meant it and have to guess.
2). You wrote -"Your error is in assuming that Monty Hall doesn't know what door has the goat and what door has the car. He isn't randomly choosing.-"
But isn't it actually 'your' error in assuming it 'isn't' random? Because I promise you I was NOT assuming whether he knew or not…since the 'story' doesn't say. It's not enough for me that it kinda, sorta, maybe, implies it.
Maybe that's my problem with it? And that'd be an issue unrelated to the math of it exactly as I suspected?
If anything, I'd be more inclined to think he didn't know and it was random.
I also mentioned Harris's footnote that expands the number of doors just like you mentioned. He even used 1,000 doors rather than your 100. In that example it makes it 'appear' that Hall 'must know' which door the winner is behind based on the improbability of revealing all losers and ending up with only 2 doors.
BUT… I think that just confuses the issue of the ORIGINAL and only scenario actually in question. I don't have a problem with that follow-up example. I don't think it is logically the EXACT same problem though.
Also as I already wrote, the result of the 3 door gamble 'could have been' that Hall opens a 'winning' door that you didn't pick and the game is over right there. Essentially that would be accepting your first attempted pick and they are just showing what's behind doors you didn't pick for whatever reason.
NOTHING in the story says that couldn't have happened. It seems like you're telling me (as well as Sam in his book) to accept a fact not in evidence (that Monty knows where the 'winner' is). That's 'faith'. Something Sam (and all his fans) is logically against.
Let me ask this then…say the 'winning' door is the one you first picked (but they didn't reveal). Then, IF Hall knows that's the right door (which you say he in fact does), isn't it random which of the two 'loser' doors he opens?
Wouldn't that make the result either a 1 out of 2 chance, OR…a 2 out of 3 chance, DEPENDING ON…if your first uncounted attempt actually had the 'winner'?
Maybe the story just needs to be slightly re-worded? Or would you claim it doesn't need to be changed at all?

3rd CARe Europe Conference
17 - 18 June, 2015
Conference Centre National Technical Library
Prague, Czech Republic
CARe Europe is an international network promoting recovery and social inclusion.
The themes for this conference are:
1. Recovery and social inclusion
2. Social Entrepreneurship
3. Challenges for institutional change
One of the important aspects of recovery is to be(come) part of the world (again), to have meaningful activities and social roles. It requires not only efforts from the part of the person but also from the part of the community, in terms of supports and opportunities.
Peer support, family support and professional services which are focused on recovery & inclusion are essential ingredients. New possibilities emerge when the focus shifts from services to the community, from care to entrepreneurship, from social benefits to paid labour.
Special Keynote speaker: Dr Julie Repper
Julie Repper is head of Recovery of Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust in the U.K., Associate Professor of Recovery at the University of Nottingham and Senior Consultant at the ImROC programme. She is the author of many books, including: Social Inclusion and Recovery: A Model for Mental Health Practice. She was involved in the development of one of the first Recovery Colleges in the U.K.
Wednesday 17th June: 12-18 hours
Site Visit Program in Prague
Visits to community based services and social enterprises
Thursday 18th June
Registration information is on Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/3rd-care-europe-conference-from-exclusion-to-inclusion-a-challenging-social-enterprise-tickets-15394789229

The news about Robin Williams committing suicide really hit me. Not because he was a wonderful actor, who seemed so much the epitome of enjoying life, and not because of the sheer tragedy of a person actually getting to the point of hanging himself because he could not take it anymore, and then the relatives having to find him there, under such circumstances…
No, what hit me was his age: 63. It immediately brought back memories of my father, who like Robin Williams seemed to be enjoying his life, always smiling, always joking, family around, travelling and exploring the world… yet when he was exactly that age, he was in bed and refused to come out, and had only one wish: to die.
My father suffered from depression, and looking back it was much more serious than we realized at that time. He was seeing a psychiatrist at least since he came back from Canada with his family, in 1961. It was an unsolicited return to his homeland, unsolicited because he fundamentally disliked the provincial atmosphere in The Netherlands. Yet he had lost his job in Canada at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and thus he had no choice – there was a family to feed. To him this was a cardinal psychological defeat, and although he had a wonderful career in The Netherlands afterwards, being one of the first and prime experts in public relations, this forced return always dominated his life and thinking.
His depression was probably always there, on and off, but we never noticed. Anyway my mother was very good in shielding him, protecting him, and giving him a trustful environment. It really came out in 1979, when he fell ill physically, and immediately suffered a burnout. There are many aspects to the reasons why, which are not important here, but the bottom line is that the very delicate house of cards that kept him going came rumbling down, and nothing was left. He was at home, in bed, and refused to get out. Life had lost all meaning.
We got him on the move, by the sheer luck that I needed somebody to write a biography of Andrei Sakharov and as a former journalist he was the perfect choice to do so. He did, and wrote several more books, among others about the Holodimor in Ukraine, and for more than ten years we worked together. For me this was an unforgettable experience – for him it was probably the same, but also it was the way to battle his depression.
In the end, he stopped working in the late 1990s, because of what we now know was the onset of pre-fontal dementia. He went through many bad years, but the "gift" of dementia – if one may call it such – is that in the end his depression left, and the last one-two years of his life were very happy ones. Yes, he was demented, but he was happy, humorous, almost the man we used to know when he was not depressed and not demented.
Gradually through time, I have come to understand that I have much more of my father's genes than I knew, or hoped. My father was the favorite parent, for all three of the kids, but at the same time my mother was the eternally optimistic one, almost pathologically optimistic, even irritating at some times. So having my mother's genes was not really "the best". On the other hand, she remained active until she died at the age of 87, was unbeatable, always smiling, even during the last moments of her life. She was an unbelievable character, and so having her genes was not really such a bad thing after all.
Consequently, for many years I happily accepted that my mother's genes were dominant in me, in spite of the negative "irritating" side effects. Yet what I always knew, or felt, was that my father's depressive tendencies, his fears and anxieties, are equally strong within me. I hid and hide them, both for myself and for others, but they are there, and they are undeniable. I share his fears and anxieties, his inability to function in social environments, his feeling of being lost and never being able to "really" deliver, his feeling that so much more is expected from you and you will never be able to cope. I share his anxiety when travelling, his conviction that you are never "enough"… It is all there, and with time it is getting stronger…
In the early 1980s, my father and I went to New York together. I was just over twenty then, I hardly knew my father because he had always been away (and protected by my mother), but there we went. The morning after we arrived I found him crying on the side of his bed. "I want to go home", he said, "I can't do this". He was so scared, so much in pain that I called the airline company and booked him on the next day's flight. He calmed down, we went out, did our sightseeing, even went to see some of my USSR-related contacts, and in the evening he said – I will stay one more day, just let's rebook the ticket. The next morning I would find him in distress, but having booked him on the next day's flight sort of helped him to cope. That is how we spent four-five days in New York, me as a young adult taking care of his father who before had been God knows what, Chairman of the World Association of Ports and all that stuff… but who was now just his scared father who couldn't manage traveling anymore.
It is strange how things go. When my father became demented and became untenable, we managed to get him into a mental institution in Rotterdam for evaluation. I will never forget the image. There was my proud father, who had seemed for so many years to be such a strong unbeatable man, sitting at the table, crying, and taking my hand asking whether I could help him because he couldn't understand anymore what was going on…
Mental illness, or whatever you call it, is so devastating, so painful, and yet it is so close. We all think, or hope that it stays away from us, but it doesn't. Sooner or later all of us are affected, and it totally changes the outlook on life.
I still miss my father, every day. But I hope he felt that I supported him during the times when he needed it, even when he was no longer able to ask for help.

Design for a minimal staircase with a single offset stringer, CNC plasma-cut steel tread and platform supports for a residential installation in Manhattan. Mid-landing platform is engineered to be supported by the converging stair stringers and tension rods attached to the building structure.
Conceived by Jerry Nance with Serett Metalworks.
Bangkok Hotel
A proposal for a modular 65-room hotel and a restaurant for a site in Bangkok Thailand. Guests can be as connected to the city environment as they wish with passively cooled spaces that encompass interior personal and exterior social realms. This environmentally oriented building creates easy connections to the street, neighboring Khlong and the Chao Phraya River with views towards downtown Bangkok.
Jerry Nance
Blackened steel railing with dyed saddle leather handrail designed and built with Serett Metalworks for a residential loft in Manhattan. This design was conceived to have a minimal profile and to project a weightless feeling with floating corners and clean transitions.

Crow's Nest
Observation deck incorporated above a playground office and public bathroom installed at David Rockwell's Imagination Playground at the South Street Seaport in New York City. Jerry Nance and Michael O'Toole completed the comprehensive construction documentation and fabrication drawings for this structure of tubular steel and seamless TIG welded stainless steel. This structure was constructed in Brooklyn, NY and transported across the East River to Manhattan for installation and finishing. Work performed for Serett Metalworks.
West End Helix
Full helix staircase in black patina with leather handrail and Corian treads designed and built with Serett Metalworks for a boutique retail store in Manhattan.
Jerry Nance
Waterfall Swing
Towering steel swing set holding an array of mechanical solenoids that creates a water plane falling in the path of its riders. Formed from a tangent of ideas raised from the study of interactions of water as space, the swing is the first in a series that play with interaction in rides and installations. Riders pass through openings in a waterfall created by precisely monitoring their path via axel-housed encoders, creating the thrill of narrowly escaping obstacles. Andrew Ratcliff, Michael O'Toole, Andrew Witte, Ian Charnas
Swimming Cities | India Project
Handmade stainless steel boats with power-trains adapting motorcycles to paddlewheels and props. A continuation of Swimming Cities projects, the journey in Fall 2011 took these boats with a group of Brooklyn, NY based artists to the Ganges River in India for a two month, 400 mile journey from Haridwar to Varanasi where they engaged with the life on this holy river. See theoceanofblood.com to follow this journey.

The Art of Sound Music Festival is moving to September this year, and an internationally known performer will headline the event.
Colin Hay, former lead singer of 1980s band Men at Work ("Who Can It Be Now?," "Down Under") and current solo performer, will headline the Cleveland County Arts Council's Art of Sound festival. The festival is scheduled for Sept. 19-21.
The music event's date change and announcements for eight upcoming Don Gibson Theatre musical performances were announced Friday at the venue.
"We changed the date partly because after 10 years, we felt we needed a change," said Shearra Miller, president of the Cleveland County Arts Council. "There is a good bit going on in October and not as much in September. We felt Art of Sound needed a chance to grow on its own."
Art of Sound differs from other music festivals because it includes both outdoor and indoor performances, Miller said.
The arts council is still scheduling other musical performances that will take place that weekend.

March 22: Riders in the Sky

CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program (CRCCP) provides funding to 25 states and 4 tribes across the United States for five years. The CRCCP's goal is to increase colorectal (colon) cancer screening rates among men and women aged 50 years and older from about 64% to 80% in the funded states. An increase in screening rates will reduce illness and death from colorectal cancer.
Tests Save Lives
People who are able to pick the colorectal cancer screening test they prefer are more likely to get the test done.
