Today the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, comes at a time of intensified aggression by occupation forces and violence in Palestine and throughout the region. As conditions on the ground continue to deteriorate globally, the situation is amongst the worst facing Palestinians since 1948. In Palestine, Zionist settlement expansion continues to usurp more land unabated in the West Bank, while settler and soldier violence has reached relentless levels in all of historic Palestine. Meanwhile, Gaza has experienced three devastating assaults by Israel since 2008 -- which according to a recent UN report will render the strip uninhabitable within five years. Individual Palestinians are lashing out with kitchen knives and whatever limited means available to resist the bleak situation. Palestinians have watched helplessly, as every so called peace process since Oslo, has only served to provide Israel with diplomatic cover, to kill and blatantly steal more land and consolidate power. Meanwhile, the international "quartet" tasked with negotiating a solution are consumed by violence they are responsible for creating, thus rendering hopeless any chance of creating a more peaceful solution, in the foreseeable future. As the complacent Palestinian leadership, tasked with the role of suppressing resistance, serves to accelerate the colonization of our homeland –the situation becomes more desperate than ever. In what many have called a Third Intifada, individual Palestinians are lashing out with kitchen knives and whatever limited means available to resist the bleak situation. The acts of resistance by Palestinian youth are spontaneous expressions of anger - yet lack sufficient organization and strategic direction, calling into question whether the demonstrations can be sustained. Despite a lack of political leadership or clear organization, the Palestinian people continue their struggle for freedom against one of the world's largest and most powerful militaries in the world. Regardless of what it's called, the biggest achievement of the latest surge of rebellions is its ability to reactivate the youth to directly confront Zionism. Palestinian Youth Movement Call for Solidarity To combat this Zionist project of erasure, the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) the only transnational, independent, grassroots movement made up of Palestinians in exile, and within historic Palestine, put out the following statement: "On this international day of solidarity November 29, 2015, the PYM calls on Palestinians worldwide and the solidarity movement to join us in support of the Palestinian resistance, culminating in an international mobilization on this day, and until Palestine is free: Our aspirations for justice and liberation motivate us to assume an active role as a young generation in our national struggle for the liberation of our homeland and people. In recent weeks, Al-Aqsa Mosque has been the target of particularly brutal assaults while arbitrary killings are committed daily by the Zionist military and settlers and mass youth arrests are implemented in Palestine. In response to this Zionist violence, we must recognise that resistance is a mandatory element to surviving in the face of an ongoing project of ethnic cleansing." Solidarity glimmers, beyond the otherwise bleak horizon As a principle, solidarity with the world's oppressed provides a guiding light of how to navigate in an increasingly hostile, complex and violent world. Every day in the corporate media - from Palestine to Iraq, Syria, Ferguson and beyond, we are bombarded with images of mass violence and those spewing hate against poor people and people of color. Palestinian liberation must be based on uniting all Palestinian workers--in the West Bank and Gaza, within Israel's borders and in the diaspora. Settlers, police and soldiers are portrayed as the victims, while given free range and even incited by government officials to kill with impunity, while media pundits provide no context or cause of the violence. In 2005, the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) call was signed by more than 170 civil society organizations and has gained unprecedented global success, and its leadership has filled an important vacuum left by the traditional political parties. Likewise solidarity for Palestinians means overcoming the media misinformation and recognizing that #BlackLivesMatter and Indigenous peoples around the world that are killed with the same impunity. For us to be in solidarity means we too must make these connections and understand that all state violence is connected - while working to address the root causes. BDS is central to our movement, however BDS alone is not enough. A genuine strategy for Palestinian liberation must be based on uniting all Palestinian workers--in the West Bank and Gaza, within Israel's borders and in the diaspora. The Palestinian working class can then make regional and international alliances with all those seeking the democratic self- activity necessary for liberation. Road Map to Peace, Where to Begin? Solidarity statements with Palestine are an important first step. Yet to transform the oppressive nature of occupation, we must navigate from this initial symbolic show of support - to practical liberatory action. We can begin by looking at historic and current examples - both of which provide an excellent source of inspiration. As solidarity among oppressed peoples grew historically–so did Israel's cooperation with dictators in techniques of surveillance, detention, torture and death squads in Latin America. Emigrating after the First World War, Palestinians created the first Palestinian institutions outside of Palestine, in Latin America. As early as 1920 and by 1947 there was a strong lobby in several countries against the partition of Palestine by the United Nations.Today Latin American solidarity is expressed in a variety of forms of delegations and cooperation, and organizations in Latin America demanding their governments break all relations with Israel. As solidarity among oppressed peoples grew historically–so did Israel's cooperation with dictators in techniques of surveillance, detention, torture and death squads in Latin America such as Somoza in Nicaragua and Pinochet in Chile. Today Israel shares "expertise" with U.S. police under "various facets of counter-terrorism and first response to better protect the American people." And as "cooperation" increases we see in both instances, an increasing number of victims are blamed for their own murders, even when evidence is clear they provided no threat whatsoever. Exporting Global Repression Israel is perfecting surveillance, and one of the top occupation profiteers, through the surveillance of the Palestinian people. Using knowledge and expertise gained from assisting in the occupation of Palestinians, the Israeli defense systems company, Elbit, has made millions exporting surveillance worldwide – and increasingly in Latin America. While, Israel's role in arming dictators and oppressive regimes in Latin America during the last century is well documented, Elbit, is at the forefront of a new growing movement working in at least five Latin American countries, as well as along the U.S.-Mexico border. Elbit - Crossing Borders, Building Fortress Walls The technology Elbit is using to profit off of the "Wall of Death" along the U.S.-Mexico border was first deployed in Palestine along Israel's Apartheid Wall that in 2004. The International Court of Justice ruled was illegal, and must be torn down, and that Israel must pay reparations. Despite this ruling, Elbit continues to participate in the maintenance of the Wall, thereby being complicit in a grave breach of international law, which is a war crime. G4S - Leading Repression in Palestine and Globally In August 2015, more than 1,100 prominent Black activists, artists, scholars, students and organizations signed a historic Black Solidarity Statement with Palestine. As part of the BDS campaign, they are taking up targeting the British security company G4S that backs Israel's notorious prisons. From their statement: "G4S is the world's largest private security company. G4S harms thousands of Palestinian political prisoners illegally held in Israel and Black and brown youth held in its privatized juvenile prisons in the U.S. The corporation profits from incarceration and deportation from the US and Palestine, to the UK, South Africa, and Australia.

Falling Stars Raise $65 million for Apartheid, Occupation and Ethnic Cleansing in One Year
LOS ANGELES: On Thursday November 4th, a fundraiser in aid of the occupying Israeli army featured B list Hollywood actors such as Jason Alexander, Antonio Banderas, Liev Schreiber, Jason Segel and Gene Simmons and brought in a whopping "$31 million, as some 1,200 people turned out for an annual Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) gala."
In fact, just last November, yet more falling stars raised over $33 mill: "Barbra Streisand, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Pamela Anderson were among 1,200 guests who attended the annual Friends of the Israel Defense Forces event at which the unprecedented sum was raised. "It is incredibly touching to see how advocacy for the FIDF has grown in Los Angeles," said Haim Saban, the American-Israeli philanthropist who chaired the gala."
Only in entertainment land, master of creating false illusions LOS ANGELES (a city it may be more accurate to call Los Oscuro Angeles, or city of dark/fallen angels/devils!?) is it possible to raise nearly $65 million for an illegal occupying army in one year. Not to mention this occupying welfare state, is already the largest recipient to US aid in the tune of over $3 billion a year – and is currently seeking another $50 billion from US tax payers over the next 10 years!
It seems clear that Hollywood is divided zionist/occupied territory: primarily by those needing a career boost, that follow the script of execs beholden to Israel to gain power in Tinseltown. An article titled, Simmering Conflict in Hollywood Over Israel, revealed how this process works "celebrity criticism of Israel led to recriminations from pro-Israel stars and threats to blacklist those who spoke out against the military operation."
Pleading ignorance is no excuse, everyone knows Israel is an occupying army, guilty of violating countless UN resolutions and international laws – since its inception. At the least to do or say nothing of the crimes committed by an illegal occupying army, is to be complicit in its crimes. To raise 10's of millions of dollars for it, is directly supporting state sponsored terror, guilty of no less crimes than those of the nazis.
We would condemn in strongest terms (which we should), and call to boycott: who raise funds to support the occupation of Palestine – in no uncertain terms. Here they even sink so far as to boast about sending foreign mercenaries to colonize and terrorize the Palestinian people, on their own land:
The evening focused on the IDF's lone soldiers, who leave their families and native countries behind to serve in the army, and included testimonies from the mothers of fallen soldiers. It also featured a presentation from a US veteran on the impact of Israeli medical technology on the lives of Americans.
But no need really, as they are clearly writing themselves into the dust bins of history as fallen stars- that will do anything for a buck!
That's OK – we've got Hollywood royalty of the likes of – Penelope, Javier, Riri and Selena and KimK., among others❤
keeping it far classier. Now we just need to ask them to put on a fundraiser for Palestine!😉
Meanwhile, some great news from PORTLAND! Unlike opportunistic Hollywood and those doing it for political and or economic gain, normal every day citizens along with the Human Rights Commission upheld their endorsement of an #OccupationFree Portland.
Following a 3.5 hour hearing last night (Wednesday 11/4), the HRC held strong to their endorsement of Occupation-Free Portland's letter to the City Socially Responsible Investments Committee to put Caterpillar, G4S, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola Solutions on the City's Do-Not-Buy list for these companies human rights violations in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.

Sliding down the slippery slope..
In fact, neither the occupation of Palestine or the notorious Egyptian police state, would be possible without the full support of the US government. I witnessed in both of those places, how undercover thugs and agent provocoteurs are used to create chaos and disruption, and how social media activists end up in administrative detention in a dungeon indefinitely. This is of course made possible and paid for, with our hard earned tax dollars, to abuse, arm train, support and fund- the world over – and now more than ever, here at home.
The ultimate irony was that my tweet that was used in the surveillance, was clearly referring to "dreaming" of shutting it all down, not in any reference to an actual action or plan. In light of the overwhelming evidence that the system is not going to fix itself – it's up to us to build a movement. I will continue to dream and work with to shut down the free ways, ports and the whole damn town – until justice is served. It is the only hope for a future for and by the people….rather inching ever closer to the very real police state. We the people, must work together to take back what's all of ours, from those who as Noam Chomsky says – are the worlds biggest terrorists, the US government. We deserve nothing less.

Goals and demands of the War Resister's League Facing Tear Gas campaign, to put an end to the Urban Area Security Initiative/Urban Shield:
A new generation is fighting not only to hold individual police officers responsible for their violence, but to indict an entire system built around brutality and racism.
Militarism is guns, armored tanks and drones, but it's also a state of mind. Militarized mentalities have permeated U.S police departments and amplified dramatically the force of police violence against our communities. It has also begun to infuse emergency preparedness. Now Fire-fighters and EMT are training right along with heavily armed SWAT teams, all funded by the Department of Homeland Security (the original DHS). Join us in challenging these harmful forces, striking at the $500 million (plus) grant program—UASI—that strengthens and unifies state repression. Support imagining a world where we get to decide how to take care of one another. Lift up community wellness, resilience, and safety. Together we can Demilitarize Health & Security!
- Challenge U.S. militarism by dismantling police power in our communities & internationally.
- End the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), a Department of Homeland Security grant program.
- Communities define priorities for public safety and emergency preparedness.
- We demand city and state governments publicly report all collaborations with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, such as weapons transfers, information and resource sharing, and training (e.g., SWAT).
- We demand city, state, and federal police agencies in the U.S. end all collaboration with the police, military, and intelligence agencies of other repressive states (e.g., Israel, the Philippines, etc.).
- We call on U.S. cities to reject all U.S. wars and occupations.
- We demand the federal government repeal UASI.
- We demand city and state agencies permanently withdraw participation in UASI programs.
- We demand participating city and state governments end all existing and pending contracts with UASI.
- We call on non-participating urban areas to commit to non-compliance with UASI.
- We demand private companies end existing and pending contracts with UASI programs.
- We demand city, state, and the federal government shift resources from policing and militarization toward community-based programs that promote common well-being and reduce harm.
- We demand emergency response agencies center care and community wellness, not repression and militarization, in their life-saving work.
- We call on each other to build on existing resistance to state violence and repression, and in doing so to create and strengthen healthy, resilient, and self-determining communities.
Help keep the massive locomotive, from derailing and destroying everything in its path
Support the national #USWstrike to keep the massive oil industry locomotive, from derailing and destroying everything in its path!
Yesterday yet another catastrophe occurred in Southern California where an Explosion Ripped Through the Torrence Oil Refinery.
I asked workers about their conditions and several were quick to jump in and share horror stories about safety issues they are dealing with, including co-workers getting burned with acid. Unlike the major/national #fightfor15 and other strikes that are being fought over wages, USW workers state fatigue as hands down the most major concern. One worker wanted to make it abundantly clear that this was not about money, as he made just under 'six figures' in regular pay and almost double that with overtime, and only 1% of the company's total profits go to paying wages. He stated that they work 12 hour days, and have mandatory over time–on top of the regular hours they work, they are required to work a minimum of 1500 additional hours. If they don't they will be cited and eventually fired. So, they were more concerned about their safety, way of life and of course the strength and power of the union.
Unfortunately, there was no way to stop scabs and management from crossing the picket so trucks and buses with people (hidden) kept cruising by. Apparently they were concerned with legal issues and avoiding an injunction, which would shut down their entire picket. The workers were very happy the community was out there, I think it lifted their spirits and everyone repeatedly thanked me and others for the support. I asked what more we could do, and they just said do more of the same, all day everyday.
The environmental justice movement is planning to show up on Wednesdays regularly. Imo, it would be good to have a regular day weekly to join picket, either weds and/or another day. We may not be able to stop the freight train, but we can definitely put the brakes on to slow it down considerably – the future of our planet may very well depend on it!
Join us WEDNESDAYS' at 12/noon

The whole system is guilty for Deah, Yusor and Razan's murder
My heart breaks a little every time I look at these three shining, beautiful faces.
The lives of these three young people, who were pillars of their communities, were taken far too soon due to a culture that tolerates and one could argue even embraces/encourages – straight hate, targeted violence and white supremacy against arabs, muslims and Black lives/people of color.
Cold blooded killer Chris Hicks is not solely guilty in this heinous act, which has exposed the structures which allowed it to happen (is it a coincidence this happened so soon after the racist, top selling, violent movie American Sniper that glorified, and made it fashionable to kill Arabs/Muslims?).
While the media continues with their disgraceful coverage, without an ounce of fact finding, truth checking or outrage at this blatant double standard there is when Arabs or Muslim lives are so viscously taken–one can't help but notice a pattern of in that respect, to the coverage of police killings of Mike Brown and Eric Garner.
As if/in case (& does anyone) actually believe this vicious cold blooded, pre-meditated murder was over a parking dispute–see the following article, which proves beyond a reasonable doubt this harassment was ongoing and a hate crime: Deah and Yusor didn't even have a car. "On the day of the murders, Deah had just returned by bus. The only one with a car was the younger sister Razan, who had already parked earlier in the day. The point being: There was no 'parking dispute' in close proximity to the actual murders." Not to even mention his ongoing harassment of the couple, and his countless anti-Islam/religion rants which have been widely documented.
Of all the sick and twisted coverage, Inside Edition takes the cake and epitomizes how demented this media culture has become. With a straight face, clearly without a trace of a conscious – they did a segment about the violent incident – followed up with a 'how to' guide on finding parking!
Most apparently, what should be on clear display for anyone paying the least bit of attention to the glaring hypocrisy of the injustice system + police/investigators. Almost as destructive as the crime itself, is the lack of outrage displayed by the news/media coverage (and lack thereof, real journalism). A sure sign of the times we are living in…
Last night for the first time, since my friend who has worked on the port for at least 25 years, the company(s) cut ALL night time shifts from the schedule…indefinitely! This is truly unprecedented, and it's adding to growing chaos and everyone's nervousness. Up and down the coast, workers have been increasing in slowing down the unloading of cargo. This has recently transpired in companies cutting shifts as a form of punishment, and now there are even talks of Federal intervention. Several articles and opeds in the SF Chron and other publications, have come out over the past several days talking about all of this.
All the while the ships at sea are backing up, waiting to be unloaded. Meanwhile the situation of workers slowing down in protest, has caused companies to retaliate by cutting hours, thus further delaying the unloading of cargo, cutting even more into their profits- ultimately punishing themselves! Of those most adversely impacted are the truckers who have had double and triple delay times, which were already intolerable to begin with.
The main issue seems to be that there is still no contract, and there is no end in sight as to if or when their will be any progress made. Making matters worse is that workers have absolutely no idea or details whatsoever, about anything such as what the issues are or what is being negotiated, creating growing distrust of management.
This complicated show down is causing tension, uncertainty and anxiety for all involved. Of course everyone's concerns are for different reasons, depending on their interests. From an outsider's perspective, it seems no one is in charge and that this chaos is due to no clear strategy by union management, employers or government officials to come up with real and lasting solutions.
End of an era, and some reflections on the road to tahrir…
After about about 14 years of working full time as an activist and nonprofit worker. . . the time has come, to make profit! I just passed my insurance exam and beginning Monday, will begin working for the Office Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) selling life and health insurance to union reps.This is an end of an era for me that began soon after 9/11. Before that I was doing basic sales and marketing jobs that were rather unfulfilling but were fun and paid well, and I was able to have all the 'things' I thought I needed and save money. But when the Israeli government used the cover of 911 to, start massacring Palestinians en mass, bulldozing old people and children in their homes, while the international community of 'leaders' looked on, I realized then than I must drop everything and do all that was in my power to make it stop. That led me to join the International solidarity movement and use my body and my privilege to challenge the occupation, in a very direct way.
I no longer stand in front of occupation bulldozers or inhale tear gas for sport, but as I began to learn about all the injustices happening in the world and the deep level of systemic corruption and complicity esp here in the US-and how it's all connected–it feels like being on the front line in a much different way.
This has been a most incredible journey with countless ups and downs, which has ultimately brought me up close and personal with some of the horrors that are going on in the world. What I have learned is that Palestine is a microcosm that and what those who do not accept poverty, oppression and imprisonment by the powers that seek to oppress, as we can see so clearly with the ratcheting up of the police state / state surveillance here.
Though it has been a rocky road with many twists and turns, what has been most profound and made it all worthwhile -is getting to know some of the people from all over the world, that also care deeply and are committed to spending their lives working for justice. Ultimately, I believe we the people of the world have far more in common than our so called leaders…and that if anything is going to change, we must all do everything in our power to make it so, and it is in all of our interest to work together. Also that it is the people in all of these places that are most directly impacted by these policies whether they are poor, people of color and working that must lead these struggles but for who it is so extremely difficult to fight the good fight, and so busy fighting for our survival. My biggest fear is that I will be all consumed with work, and not have time to balance with activism, and self care.
May 2015 be the time we all begin to fight not only for our survival, but to live…unafraid, and willing to stand up for what we believe. May we follow our hearts instead of the dollar, but still make enough to care for ourselves and families…while we support and struggle for justice. Here is my former blog and some observations, on my road to tahrir or liberation, and this journey we call life: http://palestinehumanrights.blogspot.com/2006/06/caged-in-locked-out.html

Ballade, Op.4 (Glière, Reinhold)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

If it isn't an "emergency" they will drag their feet and claim they can't do anything without owner approval, and blame the property owner for the delays. Not to mention, they gave us the keys to a place that was not cleaned!!! There was hair and dirt from the previous tenant everywhere, and nasty rust stains and mold on the bathroom walls. We rented for two years, always paid our rent early and never had any complaints against us.
We were perfect tenants and took a lot of time and care to clean properly before we left. For being such good tenants we were rewarded with a huge deduction from our deposit for "Misc" cleaning charges. A load of crap if you ask me. The property was 10 times worse when we moved in (as we documented), and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it when we moved out. Only rent from them if you don't care about moving into a clean unit, don't mind when stuff breaks and doesn't get repaired, and make sure they are present for a move out inspection, otherwise they will royally screw you over.
It is also worth noting that they didn't care about their BBB rating or online reviews until recently (past month). I guess all the bad press has started to hurt business and now they are trying make nice. Why didn't you care a year ago when I was renting from you?

So I've been blessed to be part of an amazing collective of some of the most talented people in Long Island, NY (@LITweetUP) for the past 2 years or so. One of the things that has made that experience amazing is that we do things, as oppossed to just talking about them all the time. In fact, the most amazing things we've done together so far, most people would've said we shouldn't have tried. Shouldn't have tried for a lot of reasons (distributed team, no command and control, etc) but the one that comes to mind right now is this:
we never had enough time.
Why bring this up? Because I read about something yesterday that could really help our community, if only we could put some legs behind it, and then I dismissed it because we have no time to get it done. I just realized that was stupid, better to try something and improve on it next time, than to do nothing at all.
So here's the deal:
- I have an idea that could make an impact on our communities (focusing on the small businesses), help build your brand as a social media / marketing / PR professional and make you feel really good.
- It will be in my favorite style: inexpensive, we can do it anywhere, easy to do (if not plan), and fun & social.
- We'll have to pull it together in 1 week or less to make it effective.
That's it, that's all I'm giving you for now. Wanna find out more, reply in the comments, shoot me a tweet (@namnum) or call me at 516-882-7712. I'll be releasing all the details this weekend to those who ask.
If there's enough interest, we'll do it, if not, I'll do it myself in a smaller way and then we'll do it again & bigger next year, when there's more time.
But come on, do we really need more time?

probably really weird & different. we are such a mix of creative mush. Fine artists, designers...fashion, music, theatre, marketing... it's really funny how you can place students in their major by looking at them
Students are SO diverse! From Flaming to Conservative we have the whole spectrum, mostly very liberal but it is so wonderful to have the whole spectrum here. The diversity in race & culture & passion allows for acceptance & respect for each other, which I don't think is seen at many other schools...but i've only been here so i guess i can't say for certain.
The best thing about some of the LAS Core classes that you have to take is that the profs are really passionate & excited about what they are teaching you. They are also excited to learn about your passions & how you can mesh those with the classes you may not really want to take, like math or science or history.... I have an Ancient Civilization class right now that is going really well, all because of the teacher. His passion for teaching is so encouraging.
If you want to be involved seek it out, if you don't want to...then you don't have to. There are many diverse groups on campus & if you don't see one you like then create your own. Some major ones are the LGBTQ, Campus Crusade for Christ, Inter Varsity... It's easy not to be involved & it's easy to seclude yourself...but don't. Find a good community to surround yourself with. One who you can collaborate with & one who lifts you up & challenges you to Create Change!
i've been having a difficult time staying motivated this semester but taking with my teachers & just being really open with them has really helped me. also seeking opportunities to learn outside of school, going to artsits/designer talks & meeting with people who are uplifting & remind me of why i am in school studying industrial design.
The city is our campus, which is my favorite part. I think it makes you mature quickly & gets you out exploring the city & communities around you. The school is working hard to be Green, we have a plethora of recycling bins on each floor & i know big steps are being made so our school is more sustainable. My program (product design) is a small intimate group. An awesome family really. There are big exciting changes happening in the program, which i am very excited about!
Columbia is where creatives from all over come together to create & learn more about the creative process.

I have been making and sewing since I can remember & have also worked as an accessory designer & pattern maker for a number of years.
I love hand-made but don't believe it should equal messy or amateur looking! I want to help others who feel the same achieve a satisfying, quality finish. My patterns are based on the little tips and tricks I have devised over the years to get professional results using a domestic sewing machine and easily available materials.
This pattern & tutorial shows you how to make a lovely structured clutch purse with a beautiful woven front & gently curved top detail reminiscent of vintage glamour.
It's closed with a sunken/ hidden zip construction for a clean, professional-looking finish. The clutch is fully lined & has an internal credit card sized pocket for extra practicality.
Measurements throughout are quoted in both metric & inches
I would rate this as an intermediate to advanced level sewing project as there are just over 100 steps in the instructions which need to be followed carefully. However, as with all of my patterns, nothing is assumed and every step is very clearly described and illustrated so that confident, patient beginners are able to follow also. Please read through my Etsy shop feedback for confirmation of this! https://www.etsy.com/uk/your/shops/ConstructivPatterns/reviews?ref=si_ys_dd_reviews
This sewing pattern is a digital file, not a paper pattern.
There are 3 pdf files included in the download, but you only need to print 2:
1 instructions file: 16 pages of clear step-by-step instructions with photographs and diagrams for every step.
2 pattern files with accurate, computer drawn patterns. 1 file is sized for printing on a4 (210 x 297 mm) paper, the other for printing on us letter (8.5" x 11") size. You only need to download & print one. The pattern can be printed on your home printer at 100% scale, taped together & cut.
Join me on facebook tinyurl.com/but788u or pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/constructivism/made-with-my-patterns/ to view some of the creations my customers have made.
If you wish add an interesting zip pull (such as the tassel pictured), I have posted some free tutorials on my blog http://constructivblog.wordpress.com
This design would suit medium to heavyweight satins such as duchess, shantung, brocades, jacquards or cottons and canvas...or lighter weight fabrics with the addition of some fusible interfacing to add body. Not so suitable for fabrics which crease heavily, such as pure linens.
Feel free to message me with any questions!!

3 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons shortening
1 cup hot tap water
ziplock bag (gallon)
Gather up your little ones and let them help you make tortillas. Most children love to help cook and it can actuallly be a learning experience. This way of making tortillas is not messy at all and easy for kids to help out.
Place flour, salt & baking powder in bag. Close and shake a few times to mix.Add shortening & reclose the bag. Work with hands until the mixture looks crumbly and there are no large pieces of shortening visible.
Open the bag and add the hot water. Knead in the bag until the dough is one large piece and sides of the bag come clean.
Take the dough out of the bag and divide into eight pieces. Put the dough on the table, lay the bag on top of the dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. (you can rest now too!)
----------Place the circles on the griddle or frying pan heated to medium high and cook until dark brown spots appear. Turn and cook on the other side.
After resting, roll or pat the dough into eight- ten inch circles.
After resting, roll or pat the dough into eight- ten inch circles.
There you have it. You are done -- now wasn't that fun and simple too!?
Thanks for stopping by my kitchen.

Expert Q & A
Tracking an Urban Plague
By ALIYAH BARUCHIN
Dr. David L. Rosenstreich is director of the division of allergy and immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. He is a former senior investigator with the Inner City Asthma Study, which identifies factors related to the development of asthma in children.
Jennifer S. Altman for The New York Times
Q: Asthma affects 21 million Americans, including nearly 9 million children, almost a tenth of the population. Why is that number so high? Is it increasing?
A: It is definitely increasing, and it's not just in the United States; it's all over the developed world. And nobody knows why. Despite a lot of research and rather alarming numbers, no one really knows for sure what's going on to make people have more asthma and more allergies.
Q: What are the questions facing scientists right now?
A: The first issue is why is there is more asthma every year, and how come we can't figure out what's going on? The second issue is, what are the actual causes? Is it dust mites or cockroaches or air pollution, or how do they all interact together in terms of actually triggering asthma? And the corollary of that is, can you prevent it by controlling those things? And the third issue is effective treatment. What are the best drugs to use? Do things like allergy shots help for people with allergies?
Q: What is the connection between asthma and allergies?
A: The younger you are when you get asthma, the more likely it is that it has an allergic basis. I would say maybe 80 percent of children with asthma are allergic and have what we would call extrinsic, or allergic, asthma.
There are two parts of asthma. One is the underlying chronic inflammation, like poison ivy inside your bronchial tubes, which comes from breathing in things all the time and may not give you any noticeable symptoms, but it's there all the time. And then, if you're exposed to something else — a cat or cigarette smoke or perfume, or you get a cold, a viral infection — it may actually make things worse and precipitate obvious symptoms.
So there's the underlying inflammation and the acute triggers. Now, in terms of what causes the underlying inflammation, it's usually what people are being exposed to and how much there is. So if you have three cats and you sleep with them, the chances are that's probably the major cause of what's going on.
Q: What role do genes play?
A: Asthma and allergies, like most things in life, are heritable. If you have no allergic parents, then the chance of a child being allergic used to be something around 10 or 15 percent. If you have one parent, it goes to 30 percent. If you have two allergic parents, it goes to 50 percent.
So it's not a complete genetic control, and the genetic control is very complicated. There are genes that control whether you're allergic to certain substances, and there are genes that determine how much of an allergic reaction you make, and there are genes that control how your bronchial tubes react, etc. The more of those genes you inherit, the more likely it is that you'll get asthma, and the more likely it is that it'll be severe and that it'll occur at an earlier age.
Q: Where do you come down on the "hygiene hypothesis," the idea that children raised in homes that are too clean are not exposed to germs that strengthen the immune system, making them less tolerant to the irritants that cause asthma?
A: Well, it's interesting. I used to fall in the you-need-your-house-to-be-spotless camp. And I would even give people recommendations for their infant children: make sure the bedroom is spotless. Recently there's been more and more data showing that exposure to pets in early infancy seems to protect against the development of asthma, so I've been forced to modify my ideas about this.
In terms of people who are allergic and have asthma, beyond the first year of life I usually do recommend that they have an allergen-free bedroom, and that seems to help most people.
I actually don't know what to tell people about newborns. I usually don't tell them, "Go out and buy a dog and a cat," but if they have one, at this point I no longer tell them to get rid of it. There is data about tolerance to animals, that when the animal's taken away — for instance, when children go off to college and leave their pets behind — when they come home at Christmas, they will notice they'll have an asthma attack, whereas the animal never bothered them before.
Q: Does asthma always start in childhood?
A: Most people who have asthma have had it as a child. It's often a little misleading, because often asthma goes away when people enter their teen years and early adulthood, and then it comes back later, and sometimes they don't even connect the two. But the other thing is that we have more and more people who are developing asthma for the first time as adults, and we don't know why that is.
Q: The incidence of asthma is very high among inner-city children, especially among minorities. What did your work with the Inner City Asthma Study show?
A: African-American kids tend to have more asthma, and the asthma tends to be worse in severity. Over all, I think that's true in all inner-city children, but African-Americans in particular. In part, it's because African-Americans tend to have increased allergies compared to the white population, and I think that's even controlling for socioeconomic factors, so that predisposes them to getting worse asthma. In the inner city, they tend to have more allergenic exposures, like mice, rats, cockroaches and auto exhaust and particulate matter. And then there are socioeconomic issues related to quality of care and access to care.
Q: The rate of emergency room visits for minority children with asthma is far higher than the rate for white children. Why?
A: Your average middle-class suburban patient, when their asthma starts getting bad, they call their doctor, and within a short period of time, the doctor calls them back and tells them, "Increase your medicine, I'll call in a prescription for you," and intervenes before things really get bad.
In the inner city, after-hours care for many of the physicians is basically that when people call the number, they get a message saying, "Go to the emergency room." Or patients who go to hospital clinics, they're not even aware that they're able to reach their doctor when the clinic visit is over. You go see your clinic doctor on Monday morning, and there's kind of a mindset that after Monday morning, the doctor doesn't exist anymore, and that the only way to get care is to go to the emergency room. So I think that's a big part of the problem.
Q: What is the gold standard in asthma treatment?
A: The mainstay of therapy for people with what we call persistent asthma is the use of controller medicine. And the first-line controller medicine is an inhaled corticosteroid, like Flovent or Asmanex. We usually tell people to use that regularly, although for people who have what's called mild persistent asthma, there is some information that they can use it on an as-needed basis. And then there's step-up therapy, so you add on controller medication pills like Singulair or medicines like Advair that seem to help.
In the inner city, if you track short-acting rescue-medication prescriptions like albuterol versus prescriptions for the long-acting controller medicines, the short-acting prescription rates are enormously high. People overuse those medicines and underuse their controller medicines: inhaled steroids, the mainstay of care.
Q: Why is that?
A: When you use controller medicines, you don't get any immediate relief, so the question becomes: "Why am I taking this? It doesn't help me." Whereas this other thing, the rescue medicine, is great — it helps. But there's very good data that asthma deaths are inversely related to inhaled steroid use, so the more inhaled steroids that are used, the fewer asthma deaths there are in a community. And it's directly correlated with rescue-medicine use: the more people use that, the greater the chance that they're going to die.
Q: What's your take-home message for people with asthma?
A: There are really just three treatments for asthma that everyone should have. The first is environmental control, eliminating any known allergens from the sleep environment. The second is effective drug use — that's inhaled steroids and anything else you need to keep yourself symptom-free and free of side effects. And the third is that if you're allergic, especially in children, allergy shots are very beneficial.
And the other message is that if you have asthma, you should not be satisfied to be symptomatic all the time. Given available treatments, you should be able to do whatever you want, full functional activities, and be free of side effects and free of symptoms. People should not accept anything less.

|Optical and electrical properties of percolated graphene networks from liquid exfoliation of graphite
|October 22, 2010
|Thin films obtained from liquid phase exfoliation of graphite exhibit the conductivity and transparency properties of percolated networks having interconnectivity distance of about 1 um to 1.5 um. The mean radius of the platelets in solution determined by dynamic light scattering measurements was found to be in the range of about 1.3 um, consistent with the network interconnectivity distance. Representative TEM images show evidence of individual graphene sheets. The platelets have an irregular shape with apparent folding and bending, which contributes to disorder and imperfections of the films as revealed by the Raman spectra. The scaling universal exponents describing the percolation transition from an insulating, 100 % transparent state, to a transparent, conducting state are consistent with the two-dimensional (2D) percolation model. These findings provide a framework for engineering the optical and electrical properties of graphene networks for technological applications where flexibility, transparency, and conductivity are required.

Bridging the gap between laser physics and applied mathematics, this book offers a new perspective on laser dynamics. Combining fresh treatments of classic problems with up-to-date research, asymptotic techniques appropriate for nonlinear dynamical systems are shown to offer a powerful alternative to numerical simulations. The combined analytical and experimental description of dynamical instabilities provides a clear derivation of physical formulae and an evaluation of their significance. Starting with the observation of different time scales of an operating laser, the book develops approximation techniques to systematically explore their effects. Laser dynamical regimes are introduced at different levels of complexity, from standard turn-on experiments to stiff, chaotic, spontaneous or driven pulsations. Particular attention is given to quantitative comparisons between experiments and theory. The book broadens the range of analytical tools available to laser physicists and provides applied mathematicians with problems of practical interest, making it invaluable for graduate students and researchers.
