Rare Thrill for Tass: Joshing Over Its U.F.O. Report
By ELEANOR BLAU
Published: October 12, 1989
The report by the Soviet press agency Tass that lanky, three-eyed creatures took a stroll through a Soviet park last month has caused such reverberations in the United States that they have bounced back to Tass itself.
The agency reported Tuesday that major American television networks and newspapers, which it said typically avoid stories about unidentified flying objects, ''played up the space adventure, frequently poking fun and suggesting that the beings from outer space might be a result of overzealous glasnost.''
The Tass report, written by an American working for the agency, did not sound resentful. It quoted Edwin Diamond, a New York Magazine media critic, who criticized what he called the story's shallowness, saying, ''What did the Academy of Science think?'' and ''Where are the pictures?''
And it quoted Yervant Turzian of the Cornell University Astronomy Department, who said fellow academics regarded the story as a joke. Drawing of Creature Is Broadcast
''Given the physical parameters of the universe, the possibility of life on other planets is high,'' he told Tass. ''But the vast majority of these reports can be explained by such logical phenomena as unconventional aircraft in the sky or artificial satelllites.''
On the other hand, Tass found that ''A Current Affair,'' the syndicated news and entertainment show, was taking the report seriously enough to plan on sending a film crew to Voronezh. That is where Tass originally reported that three children had said they saw aliens emerge from a ball, wearing silvery overalls.
Last night, Soviet television viewers saw a picture of one of the creatures on the main nightly news program ''Vremya,'' in the form of a scribbled drawing by one of the children. It showed a smiling stick figure inside a glowing two-legged sphere.
Vremya sounded more skeptical than the original Tass report, but it offered without comment an interview with Vasya Surin, one of the purported witnesses. 'He Didn't Have a Head'
''We were scared,'' said Vasya, who appeared to be about 11. ''It hovered over this tree. Then the door opened and a tall person of about three meters looked out. He didn't have a head, or shoulders either. He just had a kind of hump. There he had three eyes, two on each side and one in the middle.''
Vasya said the alien had two holes instead of a nose, and could not turn its head, so it had to swivel its middle eye.
But ''Vremya'' cast some doubt on the reports of the sighting, noting, for instance, that there were no adult witnesses, even though a large apartment house overlooked the site.
Since the first U.F.O. sightings in the 1940's., spaceships have been described as sausages, cigars, balls, bananas, crescents, round straw hats, eggs, mushrooms, disks and, especially saucers. But, in the 1980's ''Saucers are out; boomerangs are in,'' said Jim Speiser, a computer expert in Scottsdale, Ariz. He founded a national U.F.O. computer network in 1986 because he thought there should be an exchange of information instead of disputes among people who reacted variously to U.F.O. stories, ''from skeptics to wild-eyed gee-whiz believers.''
In a telephone interview, Mr. Speiser said of the reported Soviet sighting: ''I think Tass is exploring its new freedom and is not used to self-censorship. I don't disbelieve, but we have much better stories in this country.''
Also surprised - but only because he thinks the media ignores U.F.O. reports - is Tim Beckley of Inner Light Publications. He edits U.F.O. Universe, a glossy magazine that prints 100,000 copies six times a year and distributes them internationally.
Mr. Beckley said that he is a journalist, not a scientist, and that he is almost as puzzled about U.F.O.'s now as he was when he saw his first in 1957, as a 10-year-old in New Brunswick, N.J. ''It's kind of a cosmic game those entities seem to be playing with us,'' he said.

Up to Date MLA and APA Citation Guidelines for Research Papers
This week I met up with an old student of mine who was working on a paper for her college sociology class. I started reading through the paper and we were discussing her argument. At one point, she had cited a website as a source and she asked me if she had done it right.
When I told her she hadn't, she whipped out a big MLA handbook. It was listed as a required text for her course, and when I asked she said she had paid $40 for it. What a rip off.
Why buy a style handbook, when all of the citation and style guidelines you need are available online? Instead, direct your students to the Purdue Online Writing Lab (or OWL).
Reliable, Up to Date Style Guide for APA and MLA
The "research paper" is a right-of-passage. Most high schools require at least one research paper before graduation, and for better or worse this is typically placed in the lap of the language arts teacher. For the moment, let's ignore the fact that students should probably do more research in high school if they're going to be well prepared for college.
One of the biggest components of this research paper is properly using MLA style and MLA citations. If you find yourself in the wonderful position of teaching your kids how to cite references in an MLA paper, direct them to the OWL. Purdue maintains a full set of guidelines for both MLA and APA style.
After a B.A., an Ed.M., and most of an Ed.D. (a grand total of almost 10 years in college), I still go to a reference to format citations in my work. Since my ungrad years, I've just typed in "OWL APA" into Google, looked for the relevant example at the OWL, and voila.
The best part is that it's always up to date. A few years back, the APA guidelines were updated to the sixth edition. My professor hadn't gotten her new copy of the stylebook yet, but I was able to format my paper properly because the OWL had already updated all of their resources according to the new edition.
This is an invaluable resource that will help your students far into the future, and you would do well to introduce them to it in high school. Hopefully none of them will go on to be undergrads who waste $40 on a stylebook they don't need.
Other Writing Resources
There are a bunch of other resources on the OWL website as well, including some aimed specifically at middle and high school students. They offer a nice, clear description of what writing should look like. I particularly like the resource on Paragraphs and Paragraphing, maybe because my students have so much trouble with it. I think I might borrow some of these ideas to make a few posters to hang up on my classroom or to turn into a handout for my students to use while writing.
It would be worth your while to browse through the rest of the writing lab at your leisure and look for resources that might help you and your students.

Great Lamps! I ordered a pair for the bedside tables in my bedroom. They are heavy (my 19mo old doesn't even try moving or touching them & that is amazing- maybe because the are clear crystal). I ordered a pair of these round column lamps, and a pair of the clear rectangular lamps- both are superb! They are heavy, genuine crystal and I was pleasantly surprised to See that they take 3 way bulbs! These lamps look modern & classic at the same time. The shade is also very good quality & a nice white color. These lamps were actually a little taller & larger than I expected, but that was also a pleasant surprise. They are not too big, and they look very expensive. They are pretty heavy, as they are genuine crystal, so you will have to carry one at a time! AAA+ have already received many compliments on them- they look much more expensive than what I paid for them!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent quality

I finished the Cowl a week or so ago and the shawl today. Shawl still needs to be blocked. It was my first ever shawl with first ever picot bind off that I added myself!
And the cowl
Shawl was made with Deborah Norville's Garden Yarn in Hibiscus and the Cowl with Caron's Country in Peacock.
Shawl does still need to be blocked and the ends woven in. I was so excited about finishing it that I had to take a picture!
I love that shawl and the colors!!!! And the Darkside is my favorite cowl to knit for myself :oD
It's a great cowl and I've made a couple for gifts for friends as well. It's an easy and fun project!
I love the Boneyard shawl pattern and your picot edging is fantastic! Cute cowl, too! :yay:
Both are just lovely!
Great work! And I really like the colors you chose to use!
They are both wonderful! I really love the colors in your shawl. Nice work!
Great job on both projects!! They turned out gorgeous!
Both are beautiful! Love the colors of the shawl.
The shawl was made with Deborah Norville's new yarn called Garden Yarn and that color is Hibiscus. It's 100% Dralon Microfiber (what ever that is ) but it feels like a very soft cotton. It was really nice how the color made it's own stripes. I am very pleased.
Thanks everyone for all the kind comments!
Very nice job on both. Is there a picot bind off pattern? I really like the looks of it.
Beautiful work! Love the colors of both of them!
Nice job. I considered a picot bind off for mine, but then I didn't add it.
Yes, http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall06/FEATfall06TT.htmlScroll down until you find Picot bind off. This is what I used and it's easy peasy! Thanks for the compliments!

Writings from the Road by Tim Shey. 132 pages. Non-fiction. Published in 2016.
This morning I got a ride from Ashton, Idaho to West Yellowstone, Montana with a couple of guys. I don't remember the driver's name, but he was originally from China. He has lived in LA for the past ten years. He was with his son. He spoke some English, but sometimes it was hard to understand him at times.
He was a Christian. I asked him who were the first Christian missionaries to China. He said the Portuguese were; I thought the British were.
They were from southern China. He said something very interesting: he said that someone from Shang-hai would not be able to understand someone from Hong Kong. The national language is Mandarin and there is also a Cantonese language that is spoken in China.
I told him about Watchman Nee and that Nee was a well-known Chinese Christian writer who died in prison in 1972. He had never heard of Watchman Nee. Maybe Nee is better known in North America; maybe the Communists tried to suppress Nee's writings. I told him that The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee was a classic.
They dropped me off in West Yellowstone and we took some photos. He said that his son would stay with him for a month and then go back to China. It was a very edifying trip to West Yellowstone.
Last night I camped out in Hamilton, Montana. This morning I walked a few miles south of Hamilton and then got a ride to Darby. I got dropped off in Darby and walked to the gas station. I was getting too warm, so I took off my long-sleaved shirt.
As I was repacking my backpack, this guy walked out of the gas station and walked over to me. He asked me where I was going. I told him that I was headed toward Salmon, Idaho. He asked me where I was from originally and I told him from Iowa. He said that he was from Spirit Lake; I told him I was from Algona.
His name was Garrett and he went to high school in Estherville, class of 1985. I told Garrett that I went to Garrigan High School in Algona—I finished in 1978. We played Estherville in football every year.
I then asked Garrett if he knew Agnes Hood; I had dated Agnes once during my senior year—she went to school in Estherville. Garrett said that he knew Agnes. He said he remembered there were three Hood sisters and they were very beautiful. I replied, yes, they were very beautiful. I then asked Garrett if he knew Brian Sawyer. Garrett knew Brian and his brother. Brian was a cousin of Agnes'. I first met Agnes and Brian while playing in a pickup basketball game at the Hood residence the summer before my senior year.
I then told Garrett that I once got a ride from Nebraska to Estherville [in 2002] and got dropped off at around 10 o'clock at night. I was walking down the main street of Estherville when I noticed this car drive past, swing into this parking lot and pull up right next to me on the sidewalk. This guy stuck his head out of the window and asked, "Are you Tim Shey?"
I replied, "Yes, I am." I was a bit flabbergasted.
We started talking and he had picked me up hitchhiking in Humboldt a few months ago and drove me to Algona. He told me to get in his car and we drove to his apartment in Estherville.
In his apartment, he opened his Bible to the Book of Ezekiel. He showed me Ezekiel 21: 27: "I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him." He told me that the Lord wanted him to show me that Scripture. He later gave me a ride to Algona.
I spoke with Garrett for a little while and then he said, "It's a small world."
I said, "It sure is."
We shook hands and I walked south on U.S. 93 towards Salmon.
Yesterday I walked several miles north of Lakeview, Oregon on U.S. 395. I put my backpack down and stood on the side of the road for half an hour and this car pulled over to give me a ride.
The guy's name was Jim and he had come from Whiskeytown, California that morning. After a few minutes of talking, we found out that we were both Christians and had some good fellowship.
We talked about Oswald Chambers, Smith Wigglesworth and about this other guy who had a healing ministry. As we talked, I thought that Jim looked vaguely familiar.
Jim told me that he was from South Dakota. I asked him if he knew where Murdo, South Dakota was, as I have hitchhiked through there many times over the years. He said that he lived near Murdo.
Then Jim told me that he had picked up this hitchhiker several years ago north of North Platte, Nebraska. The hitchhiker told him that he had been hitchhiking for twelve years. Jim took the hitchhiker home and let him stay overnight. The next morning the hitchhiker told him that he didn't sleep at all that night because the Presence of God had been so strong—and he wasn't tired at all (I thought, that sounds like something I would have said).
Jim and I drove up the road past Valley Falls and to the Christmas Valley intersection. We stopped to let his dog walk around a bit. I then asked what Jim's last name was. He told me his last name and I told Jim that his name rung a bell. When he told me that he went to a Bible college in Colorado for a short while, then I told him that Jim had picked me up before—maybe back in 2009 or 2010. Later I told him that maybe he picked me up in 2007 or 2008.
I told Jim that when I left his house several years ago, I walked to I-90 and got a ride with this truck driver. That truck driver had picked me up a few years before. He drove us to Bridger, Montana where I stayed for one night with his wife and kids. Small world—especially when you know that the Lord is in control.
Jim and I drove through Burns and then Ontario, Oregon. We drove to Boise where he dropped me off at a truck stop on Federal Way. I camped out a mile or so east of the truck stop that night.
So what is the significance of this post? God's perfect timing; God's perfect will: the Kingdom of Heaven.
16 December 2015
It is great how the Lord orders our steps. Last night I camped out on the east side of Salmon, Idaho. It got down to 20 degrees F, but I stayed warm. As I walked southeast out of Salmon, it started snowing. There was more snow on the ground in Salmon than in Hamilton, Montana.
I got a ride with a guy who said that he was going all the way to Leadore. Just beyond Lemhi, he changed his mind and let me off near this cattle ranch. He turned his pickup around and drove back to his house. Lemni is eighteen miles from Leadore.
I began walking towards Leadore and then I decided to walk back to the store at Lemhi and put on my long underwear because I was getting cold. I walked into the store and met Bob, the postmaster, and he said that I could put on my long underwear in the back room.
A few minutes later, I met June who owned the store. We had a great talk about hitchhiking and the will of God. She was very interested in my two books.
I asked June if she knew a lady that lived in Salmon; her name was Lucille. Lucille picked me up hitchhiking between Stanley and Challis, Idaho back in 2007. We later had a prayer meeting and then I headed up into Montana. In 2010, I saw Lucille again at the Four Square Church in Salmon and she remembered me.
I told June that I had a chapter in my second book entitled "Lucille" and that I would love to have Lucille read that chapter someday. June said that she would try to look up Lucille and give her a photocopy of that chapter for her to read (it is also posted on my blog The Road).
I later learned in our conversation that I had met Bob a couple of years before. I was staying with a family south of Salmon and Bob's family invited the other family and myself over for supper.
I am writing this post at a gas station here in Sugar City, Idaho. The lady that works here at the gas station told me that she and her ex-husband gave me a ride from St. Anthony to Ashton a couple of years ago. She said that they told me that I had to ride in the back of the pickup because the cab was too crowded (she felt bad that I had to ride in the back of the pickup). I told her that I have ridden in the back of all kinds of pickups over the years and that I appreciated the ride.

Yesterday I walked eight miles from Belgrade to Manhattan, Montana on I-90. I put my backpack down on the shoulder and waited a few minutes and this vehicle pulled over to give me a ride. The driver's name was Butch and he was from near Great Falls. I told him that I was going to Missoula.
We stopped in Three Forks where Butch bought me a sandwich and something to drink. He told me that he just flew back from Alaska. He helped his son move from Montana to a new job in southeastern Alaska. Butch also was a Christian and we had a great talk about the things of God as we traveled west.
When we drove into Missoula, Butch told me that things happen for a reason and that I was in his car for a reason. He told me that he had a sister that lived south of Missoula who had cancer and was bedridden. Her name was Jessie. He said that maybe the Lord had him pick me up so that I could pray for her. I agreed with him.
Previously I had told Butch that when I was living in Ames, Iowa (around 1990), that I had prayed for my roommate's girlfriend, Vanessa. Vanessa had gone to this doctor and she had to have surgery on her sinuses. Before I prayed for Vanessa, I had told my roommate how my faith in Jesus Christ healed me of manic-depression back in 1986. My roommate told Vanessa about this, so they wanted to talk to me about it.
I told Vanessa how I was healed and I asked her if she wanted me to lay hands on her and pray for her healing.. She said yes, so I laid my hands on her head, prayed in tongues and I could feel virtue go through my hands. A few days later, I was at the lumber yard stocking some lumber up on the cat walk when I saw my roommate walking down the aisle of the building. He had driven to the lumber yard to tell me that Vanessa had gone to the doctor and that there was nothing wrong with her sinuses—she was healed! He held out his hand and reached up to me and we shook hands. I said, "Praise the Lord!", and went back to work. I later told Vanessa that her faith had healed her.
Butch and I drove south of Missoula and we drove to his relative's house where his sister, Jessie, was staying. We walked into their house and we met Butch's relatives. Jessie was laying in bed in the living room. It looked like she was in great pain. Jessie told me that it was very difficult to breathe.
We talked for a little while and then I asked Jessie if I could put my hand on her shoulder and pray in tongues. She agreed, so I began to pray. I think I prayed for around five minutes; I could feel virtue go through my hands. After we were done praying, Butch and myself and the rest of the family had some supper.
Butch then drove me to a gas station in Lolo where we talked for a short while. We shook hands and I walked to my campsite down by the river.
28 November 2015
Yesterday I was walking north of Sugar City, Idaho on U.S. 20 when this pickup pulled over to give me a ride. The guy's name was Ted and he looked like he was in is late sixties or early seventies. He was driving from Utah to Billings, Montana. I told him that I was heading to Belgrade, Montana.
Ted spent 12 years in the Special Forces (Green Berets). He did four tours in Vietnam. Ted was from the Crow Reservation south of Billings. He said that he was 15/16 Crow and 1/16 French. I told Ted that I had hitchhiked across the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Reservations a number of times over the years.
Ted told me that, when he saw me, something hit him between the eyes and told him to pick me up. We had a great talk all the way to Belgrade.
I told Ted that I was involved in intercession and spiritual warfare. He told me that he had been working on a project on the Crow Reservation for 20 years to help the Crow Nation become more independent of federal welfare programs. Ted has met with a lot of opposition. I told him about the power of prayer and we talked much on the things of God.
We stopped at a gas station in Henry's Lake, Idaho. Ted bought me some biscuits and gravy and something to drink. We then walked back to the pickup and he handed me a plate of Thanksgiving Dinner. He told me that his friends in Utah prepared him a plate of dinner for him to eat on the road. Ted knew it was for someone else. As he drove through Utah, he saw this homeless guy (maybe in Salt Lake City) and offered him that plate of food. The homeless guy told him that he had just eaten some dinner. So Ted gave me the plate of food; I was very grateful.
Ted told me something interesting. He said that is great grandfather was a Crow scout for Colonel George Custer. His great grandfather had fought with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn. His name was Gozerhead. Ted said that the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne tribes were allied with the Blackfeet during the Indian Wars. I told Ted that I have always enjoyed reading military history and that I worked for this guy on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming–he was from the Arapaho tribe. He told me that he had an uncle who did seven tours in Vietnam.
I love it when the Lord puts someone in your path and you have a lot in common with them. When this happens, either you will say something that they were supposed to hear or else they will say something that you were supposed to hear. It may be one word or one sentence and then the Lord engrafts it into your spirit and you grow stronger from it. Some Christians call this a rhema* word. You could also call it our Daily Bread. Jesus is the Word of God and He is the Bread from Heaven.
Ted dropped me off just south of Belgrade and continued on to Billings. I walked to the McDonald's and got some tea to drink and sat down and read the Bible till it got dark. I then walked to this junk pickup on the far side of town and hunkered down for the night. It got down to minus three degrees Fahrenheit that night. My two water bottles froze solid, my loaf of bread froze solid, the sandwich that Ted bought for me froze solid, but I did not freeze solid (actually, I stayed nice and warm that night). It had been a very blessed day on the road.

#BeautyRave: Environ Super Facial
You know I've had some pretty amazing facials in my time but in the words of Kosha Richardson, the therapist from Beauty on Ponsonby who treated me to this amazing new option from Environ, 'it doesn't get much better than this'.
Because of what I do I am always very aware during a facial. I take into account the steps, the moves, the smells, the feelings – everything! – so I can report back to you. I don't usually totally relax and I really take note of the results.
My Verdict
OMG. OK here's the truth. This one ticks all the boxes, it is divine and your skin will be radiant for quite some time afterwards.
What's Involved In The Environ Super Facial
Well, let me walk you through 🙂
1. Cleanse, which of course when a pro is doing it involves lovely massage moves too.
2. Exfolation. In this case Kosha used the Alpha Gel and Clay Masque to micro exfoliate my face and décolletage for five glorious minutes. Feels good. She then cleansed again to remove it and blotted with toner.
3. Then, oh joy, ANOTHER exfoliation. Kosha applied an active gel over my face and covered it with gauze. Over this she applied a gel and attached the iontophoresis machine. In simple terms this sends through ions and electrical pulses to the skin for more impactful results and deeper penetration of the ingredients.
4. This has to stay on for a while, and that's such good news for you and I because while it's doing it thing Kosha massaged my arms and hands with AC&E Body Oil and Derma Lac. This has two-pronged benefits. The luxurious relaxing feel…ahhh bliss. But these two products are amazing together in terms of smoothing, softening and hydrating your skin. THE BEST!
5. Iontophoresis done, Kosha removed the gauze and massaged in any product that was left on my face. More bliss.
6. Then it was time for a super duper serum and treatment gel with which Kosha used sonophoresis for 20 minutes for maximum delivery to the skin layers. I can't tell you how amazing this feels but think what it does to the skin as well.
7. Then it was time for another serum packed with vitamins A and C followed by the Alginate masque and more iontophoresis. This masque forms like a gel like solid mask if that makes sense.
8. While that was doing its thing Kosha massaged my scalp, neck and shoulders. I'm sorry I couldn't' help but totally relax. As I write I'm thinking oh gosh would love that again…
9. Then it was time to remove the masque and apply moisturiser and sunscreen and send me on my way. I knew it was coming to an end when Kosha removed the masque and I was so bummed. I cannot tell you how ready I was to keep lying there.
I agree with Kosha, it doesn't get much better than that. Sooooo much skin treatment, the ingredients, the technology your skin can't help but rise to the occasion. And on a mind, body, soul level ahhhhh. Give me more! It's like the difference between driving an old Volkswagon Beetle and then moving up to the a brand new one. There is so much to love, but the new one is just a wee bit more luxurious 🙂
This treatment is royalty and prices are dependent upon location. Best to go to the website for stockists and do some research :-0).OMG. OK here's the truth. This facial ticks all the boxes! Click To Tweet
Environ is a sponsor of ours, but this is not a sponsored post. All the opinions are my own and I would totally recommend this facial for results and for mind, body and soul.
Transform Your skin
Last year Environ ran a 12-week Transform Your Skin challenge to show how people can achieve actual, visible results with the skincare. There were 120 participants and I was one of the judges along with Environ International Technical Advistor, Dr Ernst Eiselen.
The results were amazing for such a short time. Here is the before and after of the winner: Jenny Uffindel, who used Environ under the guidance of therapist Kiley Brydon of Essentially Skin in Whangarei.
Jenny had 'redness, unevenness and acne like bumps'. She'd consulted with doctors and specialists and was told that medication was the only solution. She tried the 12-week challenge in the hopes of a resolution using weekly treatments and homecare.
- 3 weeks: her skin felt more comfortable.
- 6 weeks: calmer complexion
- 12 weeks: reduced redness, improved texture, no more 'acne type lumps'.
You can really see how the redness has reduced right?

New Film on Spoken Word: GV7 RANDOM URBAN STATIC directed by
Bob Bryan
For Immediate Release

website: www.graffitiverite. we
BWP Press, Los Angeles, CA.....Filmmaker Bob Bryan has proudly
unveiled his seventh powerful installment in his multi award-winning
Documentary Series entitled GV7 RANDOM URBAN STATIC: The Iridescent
Equations of SPOKEN WORD. He is releasing two (2) versions: An
Unofficially Rated G Version for General Audiences, Schools and
Libraries and the Original unedited version for those who do not mind
some "raw street vernacular." Both versions will have a Running time
of 2 hours.
Released under his BRYAN WORLD PRODUCTIONS indie label, GV7 returns
to the enigmatic world of Poetry. This time around he gets the
perspectives of fifteen (15) uniquely talented poets involved in the
world of SPOKEN WORD. From Grand Slam Champions to Open-Mic Veterans,
GV7 crosses all philosophical, racial, and social lines to become the
quintinessial SPOKEN WORD documentary of the new millennium.
Bob Bryans' last documentary GV6 THE ODYSSEY explored the pov of 31
contemporary Literary Page Poets and de facto AMERICA'S Number # 1
Indie Produced Poetry Documentary. Bob is very very confident that
poetic magic will strike again with GV7 his new feature-length foray
into the uncompromising world of SPOKEN WORD.
"GV6 THE ODYSSEY deals with those Poets who write words for the page,
while GV7 RANDOM URBAN STATIC probes the reality of those Poets that
write for the stage. SPOKEN WORD has really connected with today's'
youth, primarily because it speaks intimately to their love for
performance art, passion, subjective psycho / social issues and
cultural attitudes about the world in which they live. Poetry is an
invaluable tool and artform that helps them to unravel, clarify, and
articulate their experiences. Of course, Hip-hop has allot to do with
the flavoring of this SPOKEN WORD communication paradigm."
"I was thrilled to be able to get the Poets to honestly decode and
discuss their ambitious hopes & desires, as well as their deep
personal disappointments and frustrations with the current state of
hip-hop. While not all the poets shared a deep abiding love for hip-
hop in its current incarnation; many of the Poets feel that Hip-hop
has the potential to be a positive catalyst for massive social
change. They feel that it has been severely underdeveloped and in
some cases perversely denigrated by some of its commercial
practitioners. p
"Concurrently other poets in GV7 openly discuss issues of date-rape,
the courage to be an artist, the psychological repression of women,
How Hip-hop can help or Hurt, HIV-AIDS & homosexuality, image vs.
reality, obsessions, race-consciousness, anorexia, self-love, the
high-jacking of black men's masculinity, disappointment with God,
insanity, self-loathing, inspiration and salvation. Noone can say
these poets tread lightly or try to avoid issues that we all in some
way or another grapple with. It's what makes this expression so
relative, " says Filmmaker Bob Bryan.
Sure, the dialogue can be ruff, confrontational and passionate; but
their intentions are real. These artists are desperately trying to
get through to you!
"Your voice is your power;
don't ever let anyone take away your voice."
--Two Time Grand Slam Champion Bridget Gray.
"If you don't cut deep…you
don't make a difference."
Mollie Angelheart, Co - Los Angeles Slam Champion.
"What you say, may just save
my life."
Time Grand Slam Champion Poet Sekou (tha misfit)
It is a commitment with vast transformational possibilities &
connection between the poet, the audience, and the unrealized future.
men's strength & redemption lies in their vulnerability.

Learning Resources | News
An online platform that lets students and educators access free open curriculum to personalize learning has been enhanced to allow teachers to collaborate with each other more easily. Activate Instruction, introduced last August, now includes almost 2,000 educational "playlists" created by schools and teachers. It is those playlists that can be pulled together by groups of teachers no matter where they're located. Users can now also "follow" specific schools to be alerted when those schools have uploaded new materials.
Activate is an online community where users can browse, search, rate, add, share and organize standards-aligned educational content. Teachers can add and share their favorites with other teachers or compile them into a playlist for students. Students can use playlists or seek out resources by their own criteria.
The system currently has curriculum for grades preK-12. Resources include worksheets, lesson plans, images, videos, Web sites, PowerPoint slides and assessments.
The service is funded and managed by Girard Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that's focused entirely on the Activate project.
"Teachers are working hard to prepare their students for Common Core, with limited access to updated resources," said Michele Hansen, president and CEO of the foundation. "Activate Instruction facilitates teacher collaboration and makes it easy for teachers to access quality content from high-performing schools for free."
The foundation said that 4,000 teachers are currently using Activate materials, much of which has been contributed by "high-performing" schools, including High Tech High in San Diego, Summit Public Schools in the Bay Area and Da Vinci Schools and KIPP LA Schools in Los Angeles.
The service was a collaborative effort. Illuminate Education, which develops student data tools, wrote the software. Summit Public Schools piloted it. And the Alvo Institute, which consults to schools, provided implementation help.

I can hardly believe it's time for another round up post, the months are still flying by. We're now 10 months into our travels and as I'm writing this I'm sat in Starbucks in Hong Kong (exotic I know), watching the rain tipping down outside and trying to catch up on some admin. As it's going live we're in Manila, which is slightly more exotic but still fairly rainy.
8 Of The Best Reasons To Visit Bolivia
We were lucky enough to spend a couple of weeks in Bolivia on our travels and were surprised by just how much we enjoyed it. Like many of the destinations we visit we hadn't done a huge amount of research in advance, and had heard mixed reviews from other travellers on our journey through South America. There are loads of awesome reasons to visit Bolivia and it's a beautiful, amazing and fascinating country to explore.
Alice In A Labyrinth, Tokyo – Our First Themed Restaurant Experience
As it turned out, not only did my mum decide to come and visit us while we were spending two weeks travelling Japan, but her visit happened to fall on Mother's Day. Anyone would think she'd planned it that way! Of course, having not seen her in the best part of a year, we wanted to plan something pretty special, and decided we'd treat her to dinner.
My Recent Reads: Books & Blogs
I had the idea of writing a post like this for a while and have loved reading some similar ones that fellow bloggers have published recently. I think sometimes it's kind of nice to feel like you're getting to know the person behind the blog a little more than you normally get to from the standard posts about what they've been up to recently.
The Perfect Two Week Japan Itinerary
This is based on our itinerary for Japan, but with some improvements and bits that we missed due to bad weather / jetlag etc. This two week Japan itinerary gives plenty of time to see the highlights in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima as well as some extra day trips to see even more of what Japan has to offer. Ideally you'll be able to spend much longer than this, but this is a great two week outline to help you plan your trip.
The Best Easy South Island Hikes, New Zealand
This post has been a long time coming but I'm so glad I made time to sit down and write about the hiking in South Island. It's no secret that we both loved our time in New Zealand and looking over old pictures for this post has made me so keen to go back some day! Just like North Island, there are plenty of epic South Island hikes, and it's so worth squeezing in at least a couple of them on your trip.
The Best Healthy Restaurants in Phuket, Thailand
We arrived in Thailand ready for a health kick and were pretty disappointed to discover there was no easy way for us to find the best healthy restaurants in Phuket. Many listed as healthy on TripAdvisor just served standard Thai food and while that's always delicious it's not always the healthiest choice.
The Top 10 Things To Do In Japan
Japan is well known for its interesting and sometimes unusual culture and our visit didn't disappoint. From a live action robot show to making sushi, and from exploring the ancient temples of Kyoto to hand feeding tame deer in Nara, there are so many things to do it can be hard to work out what to prioritise fitting into your trip. If you have a couple of weeks to explore these are our all time top 10 things to do in Japan, that will mean you make the most of your time in this amazing country.
Thoughts on Travelling to Dangerous Places
While we've visited several countries that are considered to be 'dangerous' I seem to find myself dwelling on the safety aspects of travel more frequently as time goes by. By now I'm pretty sure I should be one of those intrepid travellers who is hardened to the drama of travel advisories and is confident to venture out to places where you wouldn't typically find many holiday makers.
Discovering Dinosaur Footprints in Bolivia
Much to our surprise, Bolivia turned out to be one of our favourite countries. We didn't know a lot about it before our visit except for understanding that it's a very poor country, has some social and infrastructural challenges and tends to be a bit like marmite with travellers. As we'd journeyed through South America some people regaled us with stories of terrible food poisoning, scary experiences of theft and plenty of difficulties in travelling around Bolivia.
20 Awesome Photos Of The Galapagos Islands
We absolutely loved the Galapagos. Even now, many months and adventures later, we love looking back on our photos of the Galapagos Islands and remembering what an incredible time we had. Whilst it's pretty expensive as backpacking destinations go, and not exactly the easiest place to reach, I'd recommend it to any travellers who love nature and wildlife.
5 Foods You Must Try in Japan
Japan is famous for its food culture worldwide and with good reason. From teppanyaki to takoyaki there are an enormous range of dishes to try, from the delicious to the downright strange. Most people have encountered sushi, ramen or Teriyaki, whilst many have heard of the notorious Fugu (pufferfish) – which, if prepared incorrectly, can poison you. There are still many dishes though that are not so well known, some of which turned out to be amongst the best meals we had on our travels.

Uncharted 2 is the talk of the industry right now and with good reason, it's a monster of a game exclusively for the Playstation 3. So many people are awaiting the arrival of Uncharted 2 and after tons of articles, video footage, fanboy talk and more, it seems that Uncharted 2 is in a league of it's own and in some cases it is. Uncharted 2 is another killer app under Sony's belt and when it comes down to competition this is definitley the game to beat but, there is a game out there that attempts to match the quality of this spectacular title and that's Splinter Cell: Conviction on the Xbox360.
Splinter Cell not only stunned audiences around the world but Sam Fisher is a completely different person with a new mission and major upgrades. Graphics, Gameplay, Story , and more will have gamers in shock once they get their hands on the controls of Splinter Cell. So far for the Xbox360 this is the title that gamers have been waiting for in terms of the next best big leap for the system and once this quality is released next year gamers will honor the use of the DVD drive on this Xbox360 title.

As a 19-year-old in 1990, Sampras became the tournament's youngest men's singles champion. In the process, the Californian defeated the last two men to win the title three times in a row, Ivan Lendl, in the quarter- finals, and John McEnroe, in the semi-finals, and overwhelmed Andre Agassi in the final.
Success over the coming fortnight would bring Sampras a third consecutive triumph in his home Grand Slam event - a three-Pete according to the local media - and a fourth in all. It would be the 11th Grand Slam singles title of his career, putting him level with Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver and one short of Roy Emerson's record 12. Moreover, Sampras would have acquired three of the year's four major singles titles. The last man to accomplish that was Mats Wilander in 1988. The Swede was unable to win at Wimbledon while the French championship has eluded Sampras.
Acquainting himself as much as possible with the fresh environment of the 23,000-seater Arthur Ashe Stadium, named after the late champion of the United States, Wimbledon, Australia and manifold causes relating to freedom and dignity, Sampras is practising on the new court this week.
How did it compare with the adjacent, much-criticised Louis Armstrong Stadium, the seating capacity of which is scheduled to be reduced from 20,000 to 10,000 after this year's championships?
"It's going to be a pleasure to play in the new stadium," Sampras said. "It's beautiful, very well put together. It's a great impression just walking in there and seeing the new seats. The locker-room facilities are much nicer, and it will be a lot more convenient to get around."
The concrete playing surface at the US Open makes it possible for competitors to practice on the show courts. "The speed of the new court seems pretty medium," Sampras said. "Pretty much the same as the other court in the other stadium. I'm playing in the Arthur Ashe charity match on Saturday, so I'll have a good feel of what it's going to be like with the linesmen and the ballboys."
During a break in training to participate in a media conference call organised by the ATP Tour, Sampras was questioned about the current decline of potential tennis talent in the United States.
Was there part of him that thought if Arthur Ashe was spending all that money (around pounds 234m), he would have spent it on grass-roots tennis rather than a stadium? "Probably," Sampras replied. "I didn't know Arthur well, but that was something he was much interested in.
"I think we have some good young players. I don't know if they'll have the impact of what I've done or Andre [Agassi] or Michael [Chang] or Jim [Courier]. I think it goes in cycles," Sampras said. "Spain has been a country that's stepped up, at least in the last couple of years. I still think the interest in tennis in the States is very good. Who knows, in 10 years' time we might have four or five young Americans.
"I think all the players are happy that the new stadium has been built. It brings a whole new feel to the US Open. You know, Arthur Ashe was a great name to use for the stadium, so it should be fun."
One reporter was curious to know what Sampras's reaction was to people who say that tennis can be a victim of his success, that when fit and in form he is too good for the rest. "I have no reaction," Sampras said. "Really what I want to do is just go out and try to play and win. That's the way I've always approached the game."
That, plus the ability to overcome numerous setbacks. "I've always had the confidence that I can come back or I can kind of deal with some tough stuff," Sampras said. "I felt my year was a little bit up and down till basically Wimbledon, where I really played about as well as I could. That kind of set the tone for having a good summer.
"Just when Grand Slam time comes around, the juices start going and I'm ready to go. I just have the confidence that if things aren't going well, I have the game to come back. I've never been insecure about my tennis. It's always nice to have that."
Not to mention the ability to channel his emotions on the court. "A lot of it is just my personality. I've always been kind of laid back, don't get too bothered from things. You know, bad line calls are just going to happen.
"I've always handled them the way I am off court. You know, just try to play the next point. I've always tried to be someone that doesn't lose his composure. It helps me be a better player. That was kind of the way I was raised, the way I'm sure I'll always be."

Exclusive: Iran capitalizes on OPEC oil cut to sell millions of barrels - sources | Reuters:
"Iran has sold more than 13 million barrels of oil that it had long held on tankers at sea, capitalizing on an OPEC output cut deal from which it is exempted to regain market share and court new buyers, according to industry sources and data.
In the past three months, Tehran has sold almost half the oil it had held in floating storage, which had tied up many of its tankers as it struggled to offload stocks in an oversupplied global market.
The amount of Iranian oil held at sea has dropped to 16.4 million barrels, from 29.6 million barrels at the beginning of October, according to Thomson Reuters Oil Flows data. Before that sharp drop, the level had barely changed in 2016; it was 29.7 million barrels at the start of last year, the data showed."

The United States Air Force is taking steps to update the Cold War-era B61 nuclear bomb to Mod 12 ‒ or twelfth iteration ‒ completing tests with a mock up version of the weapon in Nevada's Great Basin Desert.
The B61 has been a top weapon in the US nuclear arsenal since its development at the height of the Cold War in 1963. The intermediate-yield thermonuclear weapon can be delivered by a supersonic aircraft. It is designed to cause a two-stage radiation implosion, but it is a "gravity bomb" – which just means that it's unguided.

A beautifully-recorded album from master violinist Gidon Kremer and his Kremerata, Baltica, spanning a wide range of music, all of it broached with conviction. Hungarian composer and pianist Stevan Kovacs Tickmayer from the Serbian province of Vojvodina has written eight hymns in commemoration of the film director Andrei Tarkovsky, an artist he has called a homo moralis whose remarkable visions cast a small but significant light on the tragic world of the previous century. Georgian composer Giya Kancheli contributes a silent prayer for two of his most important musical associates: the cellist and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich and the violinist Gidon Kremer.
The 2010 ECM album Purcor - Songs for Saxophone and Piano features tenor/soprano saxophonist Trygve Seim and pianist Andreas Utnem dueting on various original and traditional compositions. Although this is the first time the two musicians have recorded together, their partnership extends back to the mid-'90s when Utnem, working with Norway's Church City Mission foundation, invited Seim to perform with him at several church services. Choosing from a mix of liturgical compositions for mass and some original pieces, Utnem then played in his own classical- and jazz-based style while Seim improvised around him. The result, as heard on this album, is a kind of hybrid of classical, jazz, and folk styles fits nicely into the softly introspective, and cerebral ECM approach.
The reason to mention the "particulars" of this document of informal sessions is because Keith Jarrett went to the trouble of doing so in his liner notes: they came about in the aftermath of him and Charlie Haden playing together during a documentary film about Haden. The duo, who hadn't played together in over 30 years, got along famously and decided to do some further recording in Jarrett's home studio without an end result in mind. The tapes sat – though were discussed often – for three years before a decision was made to release them. Jarrett used his home Steinway instead of his usual concert Boisendorfer.
Vertical and layered in form, "Strata" is austere and powerful music with a clearly Northern sensibility. The textures swirl and surge restlessly, building tension with harsh, emphatic brass chords set against high winds. There is an instense staccato outburst halfway through – with malign, mach-like drumming passages – evincing the composer's rock influenes. Near the end, Tüür uses a pastoral motif from an Estonian ("Setu") folksong, as the music slows down and coalesces in a shimmering coda and a sense of infinity in its long slow fade to silence. Performances by the Nordic Symphony Orchestra under Anu Tali are bracing, powerful, and very well recorded.
Long-awaited third album from one of the most touching and magical sound combinations in music today: Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek with Britain's premier vocal group, The Hilliard Ensemble. The first album, Officium, has sold nearly 1.5 million copies, and it is still in the charts as one of the top 20 best-selling classical albums of the past decade, well after its 1994 release.
"Llyria" is the third album from Nik Bärtsch's Ronin and follows on from 'Stoa' and 'Holon', the ECM recordings that established the exciting young Swiss band on the international scene. Leader and pianist Nik Bärtsch's "modular" pieces still define the context of the group's music but the committed input of the individual Ronin members has lifted the work to the next level, blurring the distinctions between composition, improvisation and interpretation.
Charles Lloyd has always led exceptional bands, and this is one of the finest. Following on from the live "Rabo de Nube" which won both the Readers and Critics Polls of Jazz Times, here is a studio album from the quartet with Jason Moran, Reuben Rogers and Eric Harland.
"Llyria" is the third album from Nik Bärtsch's Ronin and follows on from 'Stoa' and 'Holon', the ECM recordings that established the exciting young Swiss band on the international scene. Leader and pianist Nik Bärtsch's "modular" pieces still define the context of the group's music but the committed input of the individual Ronin members has lifted the work to the next level, blurring the distinctions between composition, improvisation and interpretation.
An exciting departure for ECM veteran Rypdal, this extended work, commissioned for the 2009 Bergen Festival, begins with a sound of swirling massed horns likely to bring Coltrane to mind. There is more than a hint of "Ascension" in the opening moments of "Crime Scene", a work paced like a mystery thriller. The music surrounds the Rypdal quartet with Mikkelborg, Storlokken and Vinnaccia (all of whom recently appeared on the critically-acclaimed "Vossabrygg") with a 17-piece jazz big band and keeps the action moving at a fast pace.
In this beautiful duo album by two of Italy's most creative musicians, roles are frequently overturned, as lyrical percussion shades into electronics and texture turns to melody. Stefano Battaglia reminds us that the piano is also a percussion instrument and Michele Rabbia is sensitive to all the tonal implications of drums and cymbals. The musicians play with and without scores in material that is variously open-form, tightly-controlled, inspired by folk idioms, by liturgical music and by art installations. Battaglia allows beautiful themes to ripple through the work, and sounds are given room to blossom.

Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and in 2009 became my legacy. The opportunity to begin this business blossomed from a whirlwind series of events, and it was the first time I asked God to do his will. The opportunity to share my work with the world is never taken for granted. I have always been "the creative one" and I love running into childhood friends, teachers and professors who say they always knew I would end up here. It is an honor to share such a gift.
I believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful. I believe my gift is creating pieces of art with you in them. The joy I feel when a teenage girl sees herself as pretty for the very first time, or seeing the tears rolling down the cheeks of a bride who later calls me her friend, is the culmination of all I could have dreamed of for my career. They say every photographer leaves a bit of themselves in every picture they take, and I find this to be incredibly true. I would love to document this amazing time in your life by sharing in this adventure together. If this sounds like something you would love, please contact us to book. I believe now is your time to shine. You are worth it. xoxo -d.
