Fazielah's top three free weekend events
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
Just because it's pay day weekend, doesn't mean you have cash to flaunt, right?
No need to worry, I've got you covered, guys. From live music to spectacular parades and free food tastings, you can have a fabulous weekend in the Mother City for mahala (free):
V&A Summer Concerts 2012/2013
My most treasured summer memories are those spent loving the free live bands performing at the V&A Waterfront's gorgeous Amphitheatre.
This weekend, South African songstresses Vicky Sampson and Melanie Scholtz, accompanied by the Love Apples will entertain you. Take the little ones along and let them loose on the new playground.

Frog photobombs NASA rocket launch to the moon - See the pic
Everyone wishes they could go to the moon, at one point or another. This is definitely not the way to do it, though. NASA launched the LADEE spacecraft, bound for the moon, from Wallops Island, Va. on Friday (September 6), and now one little frog has joined the photobomb hall of fame.
The animal can be seen silhouetted in the smoke coming from the rocket. NASA officials confirm the photo is very real and that it's definitely a frog pictured, Space.com reports. There is one thing they don't know, as the image description reads, "The condition of the frog, however, is uncertain."
It's not entirely surprising something like this would happen. That particular NASA facility happens to be next to the Wallops Island National Wildlife Refuge. Outside of the weird frog photo, everything else about the launch went as perfect as can be. The probe now begins it's journey to the moon, which will take a month.

Franco-Russian joint venture PowerJet is planning to introduce a modernised variant of its SaM146 turbofan to power a stretched version of Sukhoi Superjet 100.
The baseline seat configuration for the Superjet 100 is 95 seats, with a proposed larger model accommodating up to 25 additional seats.
Speaking at a presentation in Rybinsk, PowerJet executive vice-president Mikhail Berdennikov said flight trials of the stretched Superjet with enhanced SaM146 engines - designated the -1S18 - will begin at the end of 2012.
"Our plan is to complete on-wing testing and evaluation by June 2013," he says, adding that the SaM146-1S18 will allow for a 5% increase in thrust.
"This is primarily due to the use of the advanced engine management software which enables to make the most of the baseline powerplant, while keeping its architecture intact."

You may have thought that Demi Lovato would be livid over her ex Joe Jonas' not-exactly-flattering portrayal of their romance (during which DL was a drugged-out mess) but in fact, D says she's proud of JJ for speaking the truth.
"I want to commend him for how brave he was," Demi said. "He never was able to share his side of the story, he kept it really quiet. I was going through my stuff, and he got blamed for a lot of it."
Proving that she may be the precise opposite of Taylor Swift (who Joe may have described as "bat sh*t crazy" in his tell-all to New York magazine), Demi admits that she and the JoBro are totes besties in an oh-so-platonic way.
"We argue like brother and sister now," she revealed. "It's like, 'Dude, what were you thinking?' But it's all good. I was like, 'Don't be embarrassed or whatever. I still love you. We're still family. It's all good.'"
Good for you DD for being so mature that you can forgive, forget, and move on in a new capacity with one of your former flings. Not that I can blame you for no longer being in lust with him–that mustache is a crush-killer for sure…XOXO.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Taylor Armstrong Explains Why She Didn't Know Where Kennedy Was
Do you know where your child is? Season 3, Episode 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills kicked off with an awkward phone call between Kyle Richards and Taylor Armstrong, which made it seem like Taylor had no idea where her daughter Kennedy was.
Kyle later wrote some clarifying tweets about the situation, calling it a huge misunderstanding, and now Taylor wants to clear the air — but she's not letting Kyle off the hook, either.
In her Bravo blog, the single mother explains that Kennedy was supposed to spend the weekend with Taylor's parents, and Taylor had instructed the nanny to stop by Kyle's to pick up Kennedy's iPad. While there, Kyle thought it would be fun take Kennedy to Kim's nose unveiling party so that she could play with Portia, Kyle's daughter. The nanny left Kennedy in Kyle's able hands and told Taylor's parents about the change of plans, but neglected to tell Taylor herself. So when Taylor called with the news of her impromptu getaway plans to Bear Creek, she had every reason to be confused about Kennedy's whereabouts.
"Kyle is one of my closest friends and she truly has been like a second mom to Kennedy," wrote Taylor. "The nanny was very aware of the strong bond between our families and knew I would have complete confidence having Kennedy with Kyle and family... I was not called which was unacceptable. My mother assumed I had approved the change in plans."
Taylor was also disappointed that Kyle did not stick up for her more when the housewives gossiped about the whole ordeal.
"I take my responsibility for Kennedy more seriously than anything," Taylor wrote. "Kyle knows this well, and I am hurt she didn't communicate this and the facts of the evening when the girls were discussing it at the table at Kim's."
One thing Taylor doesn't deny is the fact that she was a bit tipsy when she made the phone call, which she attributes to a few too many celebratory champagne toasts with John Bluher, the mystery man she went to Colorado with (and her lawyer). She also makes no apologies for missing Kim's big party.
"Hmmm... private jet to Beaver Creek with the man I am falling in love with or a nose job unveiling party... you decide," wrote Taylor of her snap decision jet off with John. "I mean honestly, if I went to a party for every friend that gets a plastic surgery in Beverly Hills, I would never sleep."
We won't argue with that point!

Shock Response Spectrum
From Python Wiki
Mechanical shock pulses are often analyzed in terms of shock response spectra (SRS). The shock response spectrum assumes that the shock pulse is applied as a common base input to an array of independent single-degree-of-freedom systems. The shock response spectrum gives the peak response of each system with respect to the natural frequency. Damping is typically fixed at a constant value, such as 5%, which is equivalent to an amplification factor of Q=10.
The following tutorial gives further information: srs_intr.pdf
The scripts on this page require the utility module tompy.py
Arbitrary Base Input - SRS Calculation
The SRS for an an arbitrary base input can be calculated via a digital recursive filtering relationship, which models the convolution integral.
The filtering relationship can be implemented in Python by importing the lfilter function from scipy.
from scipy.signal import lfilter
A script for doing this is given at: srs.py
A version for calculating and plotting the SRS in tripartite format is given at: srs_tripartite.py
A script for calculating the SRS via a convolution integral is given at: srs_conv.py
Arbitrary Base Input - Time Domain Response for a given SDOF System
Digital recursive filtering relationship method: arbit.py
Runge-Kutta fourth order method method: arbit_rk4.py
Half-sine Pulse
The response of an SDOF system to a half-sine base input can be calculated via a Laplace transform which yields a closed-form solution, as shown in sbase.pdf
A script is given at: half_sine_base.py
Note that the peak response may occur either during or after the half-sine pulse depending on the pulse duration, natural frequency, and damping ratio.
Terminal Sawtooth Pulse
The response of an SDOF system to a terminal sawtooth base input can also be calculated via a Laplace transform. terminal_sawtooth.pdf
A script is given at: terminal_sawtooth_base.py

… Resources would address it right away. If you have a small staff of (academic support) people who are responsible for helping the student-athlete, the expectation can't be 8 a.m. in the morning until 11 o'clock at night, or midnight. That's unrealistic. But just to have the ample staffing and the facility to provide a quality learning space … I think it would be ideal to have a living learning situation for athletes. A lot of people will pause and say well you can't just have a whole building for them, but there are some campuses, BCS schools, that have those types of places. That would definitely be ideal, to be able to accommodate the student-athletes' schedules.
Does the historical significance of your being Hampton's first female HU ever cross your mind?
What has been the most notable thing about your new post?
Giving up my free time, the weekends. The past couple of years in Dallas, I had the flexibility of my weekends. I knew this was coming, but it's just kind of pounced on me. It's been fun, though, because I'm actually watching student-athletes compete — especially now with basketball, and that being my sport of choice as a student-athlete and a coach. I've been really enjoying it.
Do you think you could still suit up?
Oh, my gosh. I probably wouldn't make the cut out there with those girls.
Do you ever get some shots up in the gym?
I think it was when the guys were getting ready to play William and Mary. I stepped out there with my boots on. We had a football game that day, so I came from the football stadium with my boots on. I was checking to make sure I wasn't scuffing the floor. But yes, I did get some shots in. I was telling the guys, there was a time when the women's ball was this size, when I was in high school. It didn't get small until I went to college, and you know there wasn't a 3-point line when I was in high school. If there was a 3-point line when I was in high school, my point average would have gone up. I kind of gave them a little history lesson.
So how did you shoot?
I had to take my glasses off, and when I do, the depth perception gets a little mixed up. I did OK. I made a couple of shots. They gave me a couple of misses back.
What is the most important part of your job?
The most important part of my job is making certain that our student-athletes and our coaches can compete at high levels, and be provided the types of resources that are comparable to the schools which they are competing against. … Our teams do not have to go out and get guarantee games like a lot of institutions of our size do. With that being said, I feel that my role is to make certain that our teams are able to compete at an even or a better playing field than their opponents.
I also want to make certain that all of our student-athletes who enter Hampton University leave here with a Hampton University degree. That is very important. I was able to see a few former student-athletes in New York at the Big Apple Classic, men's basketball players who are doing very well right now. We actually invited them to come back and speak to our student-athletes so they can see that everybody is not going pro — as the NCAA commercial says, going pro in something other than sports. This one guy's working for Nike and is doing very well in New York. There's another student, he's not an athlete but he works for Madison Square Garden. They were very excited about Hampton being there. But just making sure that the student-athletes are graduating and they're thinking career and developing professionally. We want to make certain that we give them all of the tools necessary and all of the opportunities necessary to advance in their careers after they leave the university.

Rascal Flatts Release 'Rewind' Video
Rascal Flatts have released the music video for "Rewind," the title track and lead single from their upcoming album. The vid's director, Mason Dixon, dished on the concept to People magazine:
"The concept is a cassette tape that controls time. They were on board from the beginning. They had no questions. they loved the treatment and we just rolled with it."
Band member Jay DeMarcus added to Radio.com, that the group was on board with the single after hearing it just once:
"When I heard it, it just jumped out of the speakers. The chorus was so catchy and hooky. Especially the middle of it, 'So you can let it fall one more time.' I took it and played it for the guys and they felt the same way."
Flatts hit the road on their Rewind tour on May 16 with support from Sheryl Crow and Gloriana.

In an era where no women served in the Anglican Church, Prudence Kaddu dared to break into the service. She got her call under a mango tree in Kumi on her way to another school. Her journey to the collar was one mapped out in heaven, Gladys Kalibbala writes
The Rev. Canon Prudence Kaddu served the Church of Uganda for 42 years and retired from service in 2010. She is also one of the first three women to become priests in the country in 1967. She says the road to clerical service was not smooth, but with God's love, she had a breakthrough and served Him diligently.
She was born Prudence Nabiryo to Adoram and Evelyn Nadiope of Bugabula-Kamuli in Busoga. Her father served as a lay reader in different Anglican churches in Busoga between 1937 and 1964.
She went to Kamuli Girls' Boarding School and Bukonte Senior Secondary School in Busoga, before joining Bethany Home Craft Training Centre in Soroti and Bishop Tucker Theological College, in Mukono.
Later, she studied at Nsamizi Training Centre and Josephine Butter College of Liverpool University in the UK.
The call takes shape
"As a little girl, I wanted so much to become a nurse and help the sick, but the more I accompanied my dad to funerals and saw how he comforted mourners, the more I became attracted to the Church," Kaddu narrates.
Her father was shocked when his daughter told him of her desire to follow in his footsteps. He discouraged her, saying it was for men only. He explained that as a man, he was suffering and he did not want to see his daughter face the same.
What he did not know was that she had grown stronger in Christ after receiving the call to salvation. Kaddu had became saved on June 2, 1957 during a mission led by the late Rev. Can. Peter Kigozi, accompanied by the late Bishop Misaeri Kawuma and late Bishop Amos Betungura at Kamuli Girl's School.
In 1962, when an opportunity for women to join the Uganda Police came, the adventurous young lady sat the exams and passed. Her plan was to serve in the churches of the forces. However, an uncle stopped her from joining the Police.
Again, a clergyman from Bishop Tucker college Mukono visited her school and said women were welcome to join the ministry and Prudence saw her chance. She sat for the entry exams and passed.
In the meantime, another uncle who was a doctor had obtained an admission for a midwifery course at Ngora Hospital. The admission letters for the two courses arrived on the same day.
"My father, who had discouraged me earlier, had little to offer. He suggested I join midwifery first as we study what happens to the pioneer women priests and then I could join later if things moved well," Kaddu recalls.
God decides
She was undecided at the time she left home to start her studies in February 1964. As she packed her suitcase, she asked God for guidance.
"Ngora was nearer to our home than Mukono and I was already two weeks late for the theology course, so I boarded a bus to Ngora for the midwifery course. At Kumi, the bus stopped for everyone to get lunch.
I sat under a big mango tree and cried while praying. As everyone else boarded the bus after lunch, the conductor saw me and said in Ateso: 'Ijobana obyaberejjo - adol essawa' meaning, 'You girl, come here, let us go, it is time!'
"Although I had paid for a full ticket to Ngora I let the bus leave me there crying out to the Lord under that mango tree in Kumi. A few minutes later, a Ngora Hospital van, stopped, reversed and stopped again near me. One of the tutors who had interviewed me had recognised me.
He called me to take a lift to Ngora, but I refused and continued crying," she says.
Kaddu later jumped into a late bus from Kumi to Mbale, then on to Jinja and reached Mukono at night. She did not know the place well, but says God was on her side as, again, a tutor from the theological college saw her in Mukono and helped her to reach the college.
Later, she was taken to Namirembe Cathedral to meet the Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Boga-Zaire, Erica Sabiiti, who wanted to know why she had reported two weeks late. He assured her that God had called her for this ministry and prayed for her, blessing her as a student.
It was not all roses for Kaddu at the college, she remembers: "I met two girls: Petua Gihanga and Margaret Kizanye, and together we experienced the challenges of being the only females among male students, all of them big men and many of them married.
They teased us that Jesus never had a woman among the 12 disciples and we were only wasting our time because a woman could not stand in front of a congregation to give a sermon," she says.
Against all odds, the three women graduated in November 1966 and were commissioned at Namirembe Cathedral on November 12, 1967 by the Archbishop.
There was no official uniform for clergywomen, so they were given light blue dresses, hats and white belts, which they used for 10 years. The saddest thing for Kaddu was that her father was not alive to witness her big day. He had died just over a month before, on October 12, 1967.
She was posted to Ntinda-Bukoto Church under Rev. Christopher Senyonjo (retired Bishop of West Buganda). Being young and unmarried, she received a lot of questions from the Christians, but she stood by her own motto: Where there is a call, there is power.
In August 1970, she got a chance to go to the UK for further studies. Her return in November 1972 was another occasion for excitement in her village in Kamuli.
"My family stopped the car many miles away and pushed it up to home. It was jubilation all over the place because I was the first girl in my clan to study abroad," Kaddu says.
Before leaving for the UK, she had met Samuel Kaddu, a lay member of the congregation, and they had become friends. He proposed soon after she returned and she accepted. They started preparing for the wedding. Many of his relatives wondered why he would marry a clergywoman, but over time, they came round.
"As a bride preparing for my wedding, I got the worst experience when I was poisoned two weeks to our wedding day and admitted to Mengo Hospital unconscious. My husband and I decided to forgive the person who did it and went on with our plans when I got better," she recalls.
Their colourful wedding was held June 2, 1973 at Namirembe Cathedral, presided over by the late Namirembe Bishop Dunstan Nsubuga. They have five children.
Prudence Kaddu continued serving in the church and was ordained as deacon in December 1978 at All Saints Cathedral. It was not until December 16, 1990, that she was ordained as a priest by Archbishop Yona Okoth. She also became a canon in 2000.
"Later in life I learnt something from my calling: Trust and obey the one who called us, for he is ever faithful as he steps in at the right time when one is almost giving up.
I served as a deacon in many parishes for 14 years before being declared a full priest on December 16, 1990 at All Saints Cathedral in Kampala and became a Canon in 2000 at the same church.
The three of us (pioneers) took long to be priested because the mother Church of England had not yet blessed women serving as clergy. I taught at Bishop Tucker Theological College Mukono for 13 years and served many years in Kampala Diocese.

According to this article in the StarTribune Burnsville is looking to raise an additional $30,000 on top of the $70,000 they have set aside to make improvements to its skateboard park and has taking the "radical" step of including the opinions of those who use the park to determine what changes should be made.
However, while citizen participation is hardly "radical" and should be the absolute minimum for any taxpayer funded project of this magnitude, especially ones where the City Staff are the furthest thing from experts on the topic, some in the public–including one StarTribune commenter–apparently do not feel that the $100,000 is a wise investment:
So the city can't afford to mow boulevards and grass leading up to sidewalks and busy streets anymore, yet has money set aside for improvements at a skate park. Makes a whole lot of sense. Glad my tax dollars are being used so wisely once again.
Posted by: ticihg on July 5, 2011 at 12:39 AM
However, another commenter later replied that this cost would be a drop in the bucket compared to the much more expensive care needed when maintaining the numerous baseball fields across the city:
Maybe the tax dollars would be better spent on another baseball field that sits vacant 90% of the time. The cost of the refurb is probably a fraction of the cost to just maintain ballfields for a year and even in it's current state, the skatepark is getting used.
Posted by: georgee on July 5, 2011 at 8:47 AM
So the question remains: is $100,000 a wise investment for the city? How many individuals would be required to make it a worthy expenditure? When compared to regular field maintenance is something which only requires upgrades once a decade a better item to spend tax dollars on? Should the city instead be spending this money on mowing instead? Whatever you have to say about this one go ahead and comment on as I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Media Create Japanese Sales for week ending March 25th, 2012
This week's Media Create software chart sees five new entries in the top ten, led by Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS. It's been 21 years since the last Kid Icarus title appeared on the Game Boy so it's wonderful to see the series being reintroduced with a quality title like Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Black Panther 2: Yakuza Ashura Chapter comes in at number two on the chart. The latest portable Yakuza titles appears to retain many of the same elements from the original PSP game, including graphic novel style cut-scenes and the usual assortment of hostesses to romance.
Further down the list we see the Devil May Cry HD Collection and Ninja Gaiden 3 in fourth and fifth position respectively. I'm sure NinjaGaiden 3 would have sold a lot more copies if it had been better reviewed as Ninja Gaiden games traditionally perform well in Japan.

Media Create Japanese Sales for week ending March 18th, 2012
Pokemon Company's crossover of Pokemon and Tecmo Koei's Nobunaga's Ambition series topped the charts in its first week of sales. Its 172,000 units was enough to beat Shining Blade, the latest PSP entry in Sega's Shining series, which sold 122,000 units in its first week, and the PSP conversion of the popular Madoka Magika franchise, which sold 62,000.
Other debuts this week include the PSP version of Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side Premium 3rd Story (originally released on DS), 3DS escape game If I Were in a Sealed Room with a Girl I'd Probably XXX, horse racing game Winning Post 7 2012, and visual novel/adventure game Amnesia Later.
Nippon Ichi's PS3 RPG Legasista saw a low debut with under 10,000 units sold. The PS3 version of Mass Effect 3 narrowly made it into the top 20 with 8,124 units sold.
Here's the full top 20 Media Create sales chart covering March 12 through March 18. Life to date sales are in parentheses.

THE most complex molecules yet found in space have shown how organic matter is created, pointing to a rare type of star as the origin for life's building blocks.
The hydrocarbons anthracene and pyrene have been found in a nebula called the Red Rectangle, 1000 light years from Earth, it was reported last week at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Atlanta, Georgia. A team led by Adolf Witt of the University of Toledo, Ohio, found the molecules' spectral signatures in ultraviolet light from the nebula.
Anthracene and pyrene are polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) whose molecules contain a total of 24 and 26 atoms respectively, arranged in adjacent rings. This is about twice the size of the previous record holder from space, a chain of 13 atoms.
Huge quantities of PAHs are thought to exist in deep space, and amino acids have been found in meteorites landing on Earth. ...

Representations of the Feminine Body and Psyche: An Interview with Lili Almog
Filed under: Art, Interview, Nonfiction, Opinion, Politics, Post by: Sheryl R, Uncategorized
I first discovered Lili Almog's work at the Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, where her stunning images illuminated an intimate stillness in women's faces and poses, each emotionally naked before the camera. When confronted by the images, I knew I had been invited into a conversation, a conversation about gender, about societal roles, about faith and culture. An energy pulsed from the stark, stripped view she captured through her lens.
Born in Israel, Lili Almog worked as a photojournalist before attending the School of Visual Arts, graduating in 1992. Her vision as an artist has taken her into people's bedrooms; villages in Western China; Carmelite monasteries in Israel, Palestine, and the USA; and beyond. Increasingly, she stretches the boundaries of her photographic training to include drawing, sculpture, and video in her art. She has exhibited her work in galleries around the globe; published two monographs, Perfect Intimacy and The Other Half of the Sky; contributed to four books; and won awards. One curator says of Almog, "In times when the tides of aggression seem high on the horizon, an intimate seeking for the feminine without gender characterizes Lili Almog's work."
We invite you to share in this intimate conversation with Israeli artist, Lili Almog:
Sheryl: How would you define your role in the artist-subject-viewer relationship?
Lili: My intention as an artist is to enter an extremely private space without disrupting the delicate essence of communication between subject, their experience and the viewer. I wish to move beyond documentation, to preserve the private moment by transcending limits imposed by preconceived ideas, cultural stereotype and prejudice so that people may speak their stories to me.
Sheryl: You grew up in Israel and studied art at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. How did your childhood affect your art vision, which developed in art school?
Lili: My upbringing Israel was a creation of the powerful dynamic between women. I grew up surrounded by my mother, grandmother and sister; men left no permanent trace on our lives. Was this a kind of feminism? Perhaps in Israel it was, since the greater society surrounding us was very traditional male-centric values. Living in a home created by, and for, women, and we were always aware of the tensions between our family's modern feminine values and the traditional Israeli society around us. My art reflects the female bonds that were so vividly present in my childhood, and the compelling and dynamic clash of traditionalism and modernism in the culture around me.
Sheryl: Who are some of your feminist influences?
Lili: I will have to start with my mom; my mother was a model of the modern feminist woman, with all the difficult choices she had to make in order to give me a foundation to be an independent and free thinker. But I admire so many women in so many areas of life: I respect and am influenced by Simone de Beauvoir's theories of the "other gender." Sarah Schenirer, an early orthodox Jewish pioneer of education for young women is someone I admire greatly because of the changes she made in religious Jewish society.
Sheryl: What personal factors do you feel inform your art?
Lili: My art focuses on creating representations of the feminine body and psyche. I try to capture the cultural and spiritual identity of women set in their private spaces. My images combine elements of history, social class, and personal experience in surroundings that have timely significance.
My subjects are often from remote cultures not experienced with mass media exposure. I utilize a variety of photographic means — portraiture, landscape, and video camera —as testimonial recorders, to emphasize the individuality of my subjects, their enduring dignity, their sense of self worth and their traditional values.
Sheryl: Many of your photos are poetic, stories onto themselves, and they invite interpretation. If there were one piece of which you'd like to tell the story, which one would it be? What is that story?
Lili: Here is a story about a nun who I photographed during my "Perfect Intimacy" project.
On the way to the monastery in Bethlehem we stopped for lunch. I observed a nun fixing her habit, with a fairly large cross made of brass sticking out of a little pocket in the center of her chest, under her scapula. I asked her if her cross had a special meaning and she told me that each sister has her own personal crucifix that she receives on the day of her Profession of Vows. Each nun receives her Profession Crucifix from the Prioress and always carries it next to her heart. This nun held her cross very gently and lovingly as she showed it to me. I was deeply moved by this and Somehow for me it became a symbol of their relationship with God From that point on, when I would photograph a sister I would ask her to show me her personal Cross.
Sheryl: You've travelled around the world and captured women in many different environments. Is there one culture that has affected you most?
Lili: In my project, "The Other Half of the Sky", I created portraits of minority women in the countryside, small cities and villages in China with an emphasis on Muslim women in China. The Mosuo women are one minority that I encountered in my visits to China. They are one of the last matriarchal societies existing in our world. Geographical isolation enabled the Mosuo society to preserve their matriarchal way of life until the 1970s, when a road built into the mountainous area opened up the Mosuo culture to the outside world. In recent years, the traditions of the Mosuo society have been severely challenged by modernization, which has brought an invasion of tourists — and tourist dollars to the Mosuo region. Traditional practices are being abandoned for more financially lucrative opportunities, for example, farmers are leaving their fields for tour-guide jobs and women are charging money for dressing up tourists in traditional clothing. Some male tourists come to the region for sex. In the Lake Lugu red-light district, prostitutes from other parts of China dress up as Mosuo women and offer their services. The younger generation is starting to abandon tradition for all things modern; older Mosuo wonder how much longer their unique culture will survive. My work documented the Mosuo struggle to hold on to their unique matriarchal practices despite the erosion of their culture by modern society.
Sheryl: What are you working on currently?
Lili: My focus has shifted from the private space to more global space. Currently I am exploring the broad spectrum of changes in culture via landscape. I have been working on a project, "Beyond Presence and Absence", which documents topographical change in a kibbutz in Israel due to a natural catastrophe. Although I live in New York, I personally identify with the intimate kibbutz community and the way it deals with change so differently than we do here. I am also documenting massive change in the American post-industrial landscape from a local topographical perspective. The visual questions I am exploring are boundless . . . and intrigue me.
Lili Almog is an Israeli-born artist based in New York whose work in photography and video investigates female identity. Her exhibition and book, The Other Half of the Sky, portray women in rural China. Beginning in 2006, Almog traveled to remote Chinese provinces to document women of diverse backgrounds and societal functions such as members of the Muslim minority, tile factory workers and farmers. She produced portraits in six distinct geographic sections: mountain, lake, factory, street, backyard and land. Recent solo exhibitions of her work include The Art Museum of Lexington, KY; the Emmanuel Valderdorff Galerie in Köln, Germany; and Andrea Meislin Gallery in New York.
Feminist Poetry, Exhibits, Performance Art, Academia, Publishing, and Laundry
Filed under: Art, Interview, Movies, Nonfiction, Opinion, Poetry, Post by: Sheryl R, Uncategorized
When I first set out to find Native American writers to participate in So to Speak interviews, I aimed high. With my first tentative emails, I received warm and positive responses from the two poets I contacted. I couldn't believe my luck!
Our first poet, Heid E. Erdrich, was raised in a large literary and academic family by parents who were boarding school teachers for the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe. Her father, from a German immigrant family, and her mother, a member of the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe tribe, were "precise namers of things" who encouraged their children to pay attention to the details in life. Her mother sewed handmade books for her then elementary school children to fill with their own creations. These early lessons in observation and creativity stuck: three of the eight children went on to achieve literary success.
Heid has published four collections of poetry and one book of nonfiction, written plays, and curated over a dozen exhibits. A four-time nominee for the Minnesota Book Award, Heid received the 2009 award for her collection National Monuments. She has been a finalist for the Montreal International Poetry Prize and the recipient of the Minnesota State Arts Board Fellowship. And she has received awards from the Loft Literary Center and the Archibald Bush Foundation.
In addition to writing, Heid has taught at three universities (Johns Hopkins University, Augsburg College, University of St. Thomas), run writing workshops, and curated visual art and community literary events. Her latest creative endeavor is Artifact Traffic, a collaborative, multi-discplinary exhibit and performance. Heid also runs the Wiigwaas Press, an Ojibwe language publisher.
Heid's poetry integrates the everyday world with the mythical; her poems blend universal themes of life, death, and spirituality as easily as a baker sifts together flour, salt, and leavening. Whether discussing laundry on a clothesline, her grandmother's hands, or the sounds of nature, she creates powerful images that connect unlike experiences in surprising ways. She has described her poems as conversations and views her thoughts and feelings as not just belonging to herself, but rather to her readers and community.
Recently Heid has begun collaborating with other Native American artists, creating visual performance works of art that include her poetry. Her poem films have been screened at the Imaginative Film, Headwaters Film and Co-Kisser Poetry Film (where she won an award) Festivals, as well as the 2013 Native American Literature Symposium.
Wherever there are lines dividing literature or art (even dance), Heid challenges our assumptions:
Sheryl: You've been described as a feminist poet, professor, scholar, and playwright. How would you describe yourself?
A tad less than 5'8" and quite round. My hair is long and just a little gray. There is something bear-like about me, of which I am proud. I laugh a lot.
I am also a feminist poet, professor, scholar, and playwright—also a curator of visual arts exhibits and multi-disciplinary performances for the past seven years. And a publisher of the world's only mono-lingual Ojibwemowin press. AND a laundress.
Sheryl: Tell us about the Ojibwe language and Wigwaas Press. Did you grow up knowing Ojibwe? How does the Ojibwe language inform your poetry, written in English? What projects are underway with the press?
Heid: Indigenous languages were much disrupted, deliberately, by the U.S. education system and by the churches. My grandfather spoke and understood several indigenous languages, but he spoke Ojibwemowin only with his sons as they worked in the field. My mother did not learn her language, although she understood conversations as a child. I began studying Ojibwemowin as an adult. My studies coincided with the births of my children, so I created an entire book about language acquisition, The Mother's Tongue. Many of those poems are selected in Cell Traffic.
Wiigwaas Press publishes mono-lingual Ojibwe-language books for use in language revitalization efforts. We are about to publish our fourth book. We are pretty much alone in our field.
Sheryl: When did you first know that your path was that of a writer and teacher?
Heid: Books were always magic to me and both my parents were teachers, so it seemed like the ideal life. I taught college English for twenty years, left to work in the community in 2007, and I am returning to an MFA program in 2014.
Sheryl: In addition to being an accomplished scholar and writer, you are a mother. How does motherhood affect your writing?
Heid: The secret about Moms is that they do not mess around! My writing comes faster, is more sincere, and is much more a focus of my day than before I had kids. I have to make it count, because I know it is taking away time I could use to, say, wash their socks.
Sheryl: You've recently begun experimenting with poetry expressed in video form. How did this come about? Tell us about your experiences using this form.
Heid: A few years ago I started to see book trailers in which the poet read a bit from the book—just like a movie trailer. You've probably seen them. It occurred to me that one could make a film of a poem—and I have often thought of my poems as little films or exhibits. The fit seemed natural and I knew filmmakers, actors, animators—all Native American artists—so I knew my team. I got a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and was able to give everyone involved a little fee. It was a joyful creation and I want to keep making these films now.
The poem films feel like they give my poems reach in a way I never could have imagined. Students who "don't get poetry" are more interested in poetry after seeing the films, and the films have gone to other countries—most recently Brazil. We've won awards and spots in competitive film festivals, so obviously, the quality of the artists I worked with (R. Vincent Moniz, Jr., Elizabeth Day, and Jonathan Thunder) shows through.
Sheryl: Writers can often find themselves isolated, but I've read that you strive to create community with your writing. Can you tell us more about that?
Heid: Creating community is what my curatorial efforts and my playwright work is about. I needed to get out of my box and feel connection to others to expand my audience and my understanding of my work. It has been wonderful work and my love of visual artists has really grown. Performers are a bit too, well, too dramatic for this introverted poet. I might be done with that part of my community work!
Sheryl: Tell us about your writing process. Where do you find the most inspiration? When do you write and what is your revision process like?
Heid: Usually I write in the morning, just get down to it with coffee and as much quiet as I can get. Sometime I write after a nap. I write to and with voices I have read from a variety of sources, often sciences articles. When I am creating and revising, I like to walk. If I can find the beat of the poem while I walk, I can memorize it a bit and get it on paper in a more complete form than if I just try to dump it out of my brain on to a page.
Sheryl: Who do you feel are your greatest writing influences? Personal influences?
Heid: There are so many. Adrienne Rich, Joy Harjo, Gwendolyn Brooks, Kimberly Blaeser, my teachers at Johns Hopkins, my teachers at Dartmouth. Roberta Hill was my mentor in the Twin Cities and the novelist Jonis Agee really mentored me, too. But my friends who write are my biggest influences: Eric Gansworth, Leslie Adrienne Miller…I will get in trouble if I name more than two and leave anyone out. Of course my sisters influenced me. Both Louise and Lise always wrote, so I thought it was normal and did not get any romantic notions about the process.
Lyrics to songs are a huge influence on me as well. David Bowie, Laurie Anderson, Patti Smith…the usual suspects for women who came of age in the 1980's.
Sheryl: What are you working on now?
Heid: At the moment, a multi-disciplinary show with "poem skits" and poem films, including at least one starring my sister Louise. The show is called Artifact Traffic and it is about collaboration between artists, the traffic of ideas as artifact, and contemporary Native American art. My next two books of poems are begun and should be done in 2014—hopefully published in 2015. First I have to do PR for my books of stories and recipes on indigenous foods, which just came out from Minnesota Historically Society Press. That was a labor of love, for sure!
Sheryl: What do you feel it means to be a feminist in today's world?
Heid: Such a hard question. At a recent book festival, I was lucky enough to sit next to Susan Dworkin, the author who wrote reviews for Ms. Magazine back in the day—not Andrea, who also worked at Ms.. Susan was wonderful to meet and very interested in my generation of feminists—the little sisters of the First Wave. We talked a little about early feminism and today. There's an easier feminism today that looks at work mostly, and ignores everyday life. There's less risk in talking about work and politics. I'd rather talk a bit about every day life. We have a feminist marriage and it is hard. My husband is a researcher, his name is John Burke. We are really 50-50 in our domestic work. But since most women do 100% more than they need to domestically, or feel they should do more—always more—it is hard to let 50-50 stand. Stuff does not get done. Housework is not a priority. We have issues, but they are minor. Most women writers who talk to me about their marriages or partnerships have taken on way more than the male partner or even their female partners. There's an imbalance that comes from early training, but also from being the lesser-wage earning person as most writers/teachers end up being. I see that easing with my younger friends. They expect more from a partner in terms of the work of the home and relationship—and they sometimes get it.
My poetry continues to have a feminist bent—it is always about the body, the way we relate to the world, and increasingly about women's relationships to the natural world and the Ojibwe woman's role as water keeper. I may not take a traditional woman's role, but I hold sacred that women protect and relate to the waters of the earth.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I see Pete has address some parts, so I will try to keep my focus more

This is often a problem for many , so you are not alone. :-)

the best place to check is:
$ man smb.conf
However, i will walk through some basic items you may want to try.

Perhaps a firewall rule/filter is in place or perhaps the service is not
running. We can get to that later if something tested does not work.
> First: Why cannot I log on to //localhost:901 using gnome?
Sorry, I dont use gnome. Another will have to field this question. :-/
> Second: Is SWAT a useful approach? If so what is a good way to

I work from a mind-set where fewer services means less resource
consumption, and less need to read up on security lists for yet another
service. Fewer services save me time. Also, though SWAT is rather nifty,
I find a greater degree of granular control when I hand edit the smb.conf
file. I suggest using the smb.conf file to begin with and then later
switch over to it for testing and comparison. This will give you the power
you need to understand what swat is trying to do if for some reason swat
does not work they way you wish.
Make sure they are running.
how? things to try:
$ netstat -an | more
you should see at least 3 ports with entries like:
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:138 0.0.0.0:*
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:137 0.0.0.0:*
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:177 0.0.0.0:*
as well as othe rentries. To "stop" looking at the output, press "q" (this
quits the pager, "more".
If you see ports 137, 138 and 139 open, then samba should be running.
If these ports are open with services, that is a good sign abnd you can
proceed. If they are not, then they may not be available for
starting. This is a point to stop if you dont see them above as some work
would be required to make sure they are running and available before going
Assuming they are running... next, try this:
$ smbclient -L 127.0.0.1
if it asks for a password, just press return.
depending upon the setup of the server, it may list all of your shares or
may not. If it asks for a password, that is a good sign. If pressing
return gives you nothing or an error, please report the error. :-)
There are at least 3 common ways to set up your samba server:
As a member of a workgroup (what MS calls share based)
As a member of a domain with pass-thougth authentication to a domain
a special hybrid that allows for user based authentication - not share
based authentication, but not all of the features of a domain
controller from MS.
For Samba's smb.conf check out what ou have set "security=" to be. Read up
in the man page for what the settings "share", "user", "server", and
"domain". The "easiest" to start with is probably "share", but fopr better
security, you may want to start with "user" or "server". If you go with
"user" or "server" then you may need to explicity add users to the
smbpasswd file before they can connect. Just for testing, you may want to
create a share with an entry:
guest ok = yes
Once you can actually see your shares with smbclient, then you can work
on. If you cant see the shares specified in your smb.conf you can try
restarting samba or tell it to re-read its config file.
If the shares are visible from smbclient, then we can go on...
Samba is much like netatalk when it comes to priting - both generally are
configured to use the OS's print spools, I use lprng, and have all of my
printers appropriately named in my /etc/printcap file. Then instead of
specifying each and every printer in Samba, I use the options:
load printers = yes
printing = LPRNG
printcap name = /etc/printcap
This allows samba to automagically use the printers I have defined and set
up as working on my linux box. It does however, require that I have
printing actually working from linux on the machine and it is using my
printcap entries.
In addition, I may sometimes use things like this in the [printers]
path = /var/spool/samba/lpd
printing = lprng
browseable = no
# temporary entry for allow guest access. Remove after testing.
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
#not critical:
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p
lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j
lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release %p %j
queuepause command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p stop
queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start
This is for my own use on a private network and is not open to the public.
You can probably get by with just the first 5 or 6 lines in your printers
container. Check out your smb.conf file.
hope this helps. If you get stuck, post again with where you are stuck.

Russia is demonstrating a complete boycott and unwillingness to fulfill the Geneva agreements, Director of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's Information Policy Department Yevhen Perebyinis said at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.
"We are seeing a complete boycott of the Geneva agreements on the part of Moscow and its unwillingness to fulfill the Geneva statement of April 17," Perebyinis said. According to the diplomat, on April 21, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister passed a note to the Russian Foreign Ministry detailing the steps taken by the Ukrainian side to implement the Geneva agreements. This note requested information on the practical steps taken by Russia, as a party to the Geneva talks, to de-escalate the situation in the eastern regions of Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has not received a response from the Russian side so far, Perebyinis said. "The actions of professionally trained militants from the so-called 'people's militia,' supported and organized by the Russian special services, pose a real terrorist threat to the safety of our citizens in eastern and southern Ukraine, not the mythical 'Bandera followers' or Right Sector fighters, whom the Russian propaganda uses to intimidate people," Perebyinis said. In this regard, he urged the Russian side to stop escalating the situation in the southeastern regions of Ukraine by "condoning atrocities and illegal actions of its puppet armed groups" and to refrain from provocative actions and new rhetoric, and start practical cooperation with the parties to the Geneva statement without delay.

BANKS are the baddies again - this time because of a software glitch. The chaos that resulted is a taste of what could happen if expert cyberattackers targeted a country's financial systems.
A botched software upgrade at the Royal Bank of Scotland last week denied hundreds of thousands of people, mainly in the UK, access to banking services for days. But the big fear is an outage affecting an entire nation's banks, ATMs and card-based payment terminals, says Sujeet Shenoi, a cybersecurity adviser to the US government based at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma. As few people carry much cash these days, they would be unable to buy food and fuel, which could spark riots and looting on a national scale.
How likely is this? Recent worms such as Stuxnet, aimed at nuclear fuel facilities, raise the prospect of reprogrammed worms that attack other critical infrastructure, such as electricity grids or banking networks.
We should learn from the furore in the UK, says Shenoi, and take the opportunity to prepare for multiple banking outages.
