Welcome to the annual – and historically popular – post I write about how I make money off this blog. Before I get into specifics, I'll give a little background as to how I've come up with the above chart. If you look at years 2014 and 2013, you'll be able to tell I've made it different this time around. I used to break down different money-making areas into separate percentages, and while that might offer more information visually than this new 'grouping' method, it was becoming too fractured. Not only do all those colours combined become hard on the eye, but it loses a sense of the 'at a glance' view that pie charts offer (and, I hope, the above one does). There's a flaw if you have to squint while trying to read everything.

Okay, without further ado, here are my thoughts.
Diversify, sure. But don't spread yourself too thin
My editing income went up from 6% in 2014 to 48.5% in 2015. That's a massive increase – and I didn't take on all the projects that slid into my inbox either. So I was faced with a decision: keep the existing balance and let some areas slide, or work longer and keep up the kind of routine I was already keeping (pitching to publications, sending sponsorship proposals, researching affiliates, negotiating with potential advertisers… the list goes on).
I chose the former.
This wasn't without some regrets. I miss writing freelance pieces (that falls in the 'books and writing' segment in the chart), but when I added up the time spent researching, writing, submitting, then waiting long 6-8 week pay cycles and keeping track of things… it's getting more and more frustrating.
The editing is satisfying because I do think it's an area I slip into nicely – I can look at a piece of work and make the kind of required fixes in the relatively quick turnaround period that web writing (and publishing) demands.
Teaching was the second largest earner and again it was genuinely pleasing to work in that capacity. Preparing workshops, updating slides, keeping an eye out for new talent and helping others takes time, but it's worth it.
I'll note at this point that my e-course My Creative Process is included in the 'Content Related' segment. For those people who have been irritated in the past that I haven't distinguished 'on the blog' and 'from the blog' enough (gee, thanks for that – I don't HAVE to write these posts, you know!) I've made it clearer this time. Content Related is money from on the blog including:
- Sponsored posts
- Advertising
- Affiliate earnings
- Giveaway fees, etc.
And, now, the e-course too.
The Blogging Scene is Changing
Yes, yes, it always is. But there is a difference between things that are instant institutions (Instagram, for example), what's still finding its feet and could go one way or the other (Periscope) and what's on the way out (Google+). Bloggers have long been able to predict change relatively well and true – at least in my experience they have. By experimenting in different forms and social media, when the time comes to pivot – and it nearly always does – the direction taken is a relatively straightforward process. Sounds a big 'bandwagon-y'? It could. Maybe. I prefer to think of it as informed.
I'm not the only one who thinks that blogs, at least as they are utilised by those entrepreneurially-inclined people, are changing. Chris Guillebeau has also touched on this subject.
What does this mean for the little/new/mid-range/part time blogger?
I think, sadly, success *might* (I'm not giving up hope) become more of a numbers game again – especially if you're starting out and especially if you're hoping to make some money.
There has been a push in the past two to three years to the side of 'influencers' – those people who have a certain clout online without necessarily having armies of followers. It's the "quality versus quantity" idea, one that was welcomed. Now, and this is my personal opinion, I believe 2015 saw a bit of reversion back to the preoccupation with numbers and stats. I think this is (partially) to do with more coverage of blogging success in the mainstream media – that kind of data (followers etc.) is relatively easy to find and hard to refute. 'Influence' is harder to quantify, unless there's a book deal or commercial partnership to announce, for example.
So what does this mean?
The good news is that the cornerstone elements of blogging will remain the same: deliver regular quality and meaningful content to your audience (existing and potential). Is it that simple? Has it ever been? (*laughs manically*)
Okay, serious again. The tricky part comes with these elements:
- Delivery – What is the best way to get your content out? Writing is still the biggest way, but now there's videos and podcasting and even purely through social media.
- Regular – Is that once a week? Twice a week? That might depend on your method of delivery.
- Audience – This is perhaps the hardest. It can be hard and overwhelming to be heard among the existing voices if you're starting out. Capturing and retaining a core readership is integral to long-term success. Notice I said 'core' – these are your people, your tribe. They're the emotional centre, the ones you're serving. Get that right and the rest becomes easier.
So HOW do I make money, you ask yourself?
If you've read this far – first, thanks! You might be interested in this section the most or it could be good food for thought if you apply some ideas to your individual blogging situation. Perhaps you already are earning some money, or you want to leverage that position towards a goal.
I think the most important thing to do is look at your situation: geographic, resources and personality. If you live in a rural area, teaching/mentoring might be difficult unless you do it via Skype one-on-one, for example. Living in a city does have advantages. But if you have a problem standing up in front of a crowd, living in an urban zone, if you do, won't make much of a difference. In that case, creating products or courses might be better suited to your personality. Create the thing. Market the thing. Sell the thing. Repeat.
Resources – time, support in helping get the job done – in all cases is crucial. Never burnout. Keep perspective. As I've said before, "Don't confuse energy with passion."
Once you've figured out how to best play to your strengths, utilise the tools that can streamline the process:
- Choose imperfection over inaction.
- Make connections with brands.
- Refine your story for greater success.
- Invest in photo editing and social media services like Buffer, PicMonkey, Flickr etc.
And read other blogs that can help, such as Problogger.
If you have any questions about this post or any of the points I made, please leave it in the comments and I will answer. May you have a successful year.

1. I eat ketchup on my cornbread.
2. I don't like loud noises.
3. I don't like to talk on the phone.
4. I don't like to try new things.
5. I've been thrust into social situations all my life, but I prefer to be alone.
6. I like to laugh but when I hear other people tell jokes I usually don't think the
punchline is very funny. (Isn't that awful?)
7. My oldest daughter said, "The number one weird thing about Mom is that there is nothing weird about Mom."
I know that wasn't very interesting but even with my dear family's help, we couldn't think of anything else. I guess I am pretty boring. BUT, I have done some very interesting, weird things so I thought I'd share those too so that at least you'd get your money's worth today from visiting this blog. ;- )
1. I have wade-fished among alligators and even had one run between my legs.
2. I almost stepped on a giant snapping turtle.
3. I've been bear hunting and white water rafting.
4. I've fallen through the ice on a frozen lake.
5. I've eaten porcupine, beaver, octopus, moose, bear, and even frog legs that my brother speared while we were on a hunting expedition together at the age of ten. (They taste like chicken, by the way.)
6. I was chased by bandits while visiting a leper colony in India.
7. I almost drowned while snorkeling because I got trapped under a boat. (Don't worry, I survived.)
Well, there are far too many 'I's' in this post so I think I need to end this. I hope you have been sufficiently entertained today and please consider yourself tagged.

It's October. It's a great time of the year in Canada. Fall, my personal favorite season, has dressed our City in a gorgeous mix of yellows, oranges, and browns. The Edmonton River Valley is vibrant in its coloring, and it brings out the best of nature. The weather has cooled off, which isn't exactly ideal, but that doesn't stop fall from being the wonderful season that it is. Thanksgiving is this weekend, and Halloween is just around the corner. But there's another big part of October, one that is often forgotten by Canadians. It's baseball playoffs season, Baby! If we're weren't around last season for the incredible hype (and tragic World Series game 6 loss) of the Blue Jays season, then you most likely had your head buried deep down in the dirt.
But that hype has returned, and the Blue Jays started off their series against the Texas Rangers with a huge 10-1 win at the Skydome. To help celebrate another playoff berth, and a possible 2-0 Start, the Jays are up 5-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning (no whammies!), here are five cars that perfectly personify Blue Jays players.
5 Toronto Blue Jays players as Great West Chrysler vehicles:
Edwin Encarnacion – 2016 Grand Cherokee
Like the Grand Cherokee, Edwin Encarnacion is an elite part of the team. He offers power, and as a first baseman, he's someone you have to be able to count on. These traits align perfectly with that of the Grand Cherokee. Like Edwin, the Grand Cherokee has a sort of refined elegance to it that makes it inherently likeable even upon first glance.
Troy Tulowitzki– 2016 Jeep Wrangler
The Shortstop position is the backbone of a ball club's defence, much like the Jeep Wrangler is the backbone of that Jeep vehicle roster. It's a capable, adaptable, and agile vehicle, characteristics that are perfect for a Shortstop. The Wrangler has been known to roam, perfectly willing to go into uncharted territory in order to get the job done. If that doesn't describe Tulo to a tee…
Josh Donaldson – 2016 Ram 1500
Tough, strong, reliable. There's a reason why, like the RAM 1500, Donaldson is one of the most popular Blue Jays players on the roster. It's got power, and capability, and it's got a look that is instantly identifiable. Now, the RAM 1500 may not have Lebron's cleats on its feet, but it's got a set of gorgeous wheels, which really are the Lebron's of the auto industry.
Jose Bautista – 2016 Dodge Hellcat
The flashiest player on the Jays' Roster rightfully earns the moniker belonging to the flashiest vehicle apart of the Great West Chrysler vehicle slate. It's got pure, animalistic RAW power. It's the type of vehicle that always swings for the fences. Plus, if there was ever a vehicle that could be personified with the Joey Bats "Bat Flip" (pictured), it's the Dodge Hellcat.
J.A. Happ – 2016 Chrysler 300
Last, but certainly not least, is the starting pitcher for the Jays. I picked the 300, which is Chrysler's take on the Luxury sedan, because Pitchers, even ones as great as Happ, are luxury models themselves. They don't play the entire game like the other positions, but they are still one of, if not the most valuable position on the field. The 300 uses a combination of precision and power under the hood, combined with efficiency, to throw a curve ball into the luxury sedan vehicle class.

As a reminder, the first sentences here are being judged as first sentences, using my patented HEITSIBPMFTSIATRAEMTCR ("how effective is this sentence in both preparing me for the story I'm about to read, and encouraging me to continue reading") scale. On that scale, a five equates roughly to "immediately evokes a specific tone, prepares the reader for the rest of the story, and encourages me to continue reading," a one is "makes me less likely to continue reading," and a three is "a perfectly adequate first sentence, which neither inspires great excitement or great dread." For each story, I'll give the title with a link to my review of it, and the star rating I initially gave that story.
Note that, as part of my ongoing tweaking/developing of these posts, I'll be taking a fairly liberal definition of "first sentence," so some "sentences" may be two (or more!) sentences long; "first complete idea" might be more technically accurate, but it's not as catchy. Additionally, the review of each sentence will be split into two parts. The first part will be my thoughts after reading ONLY the first sentence, and the second, my thoughts on it after having read the story, graded as BETTER, WORSE, or THE SAME when taken in its larger context.
Flash Fog, by Kwackerjack (story: 4 stars)
The first line: Flywheel stifled a yawn as she stared at the myriad gauges in front of her. Hers was not the most glamorous job around, but that didn't mean it wasn't important (according to her supervisor, anyway).
Initial thoughts: I don't particularly like the use of parentheses here; to me, this would feel more prose-like if that aside were set off with a dash, while the current setup looks more academic than prose-ish to me. But the content is funny in a pleasantly low-key way, and two sentences in, it's already becoming clear what kind of character Flywheel is. I'd give this three stars, and at the upper end of that, for doing a good job setting the tone that way.
After reading: It's about THE SAME: we learn everything we need to know about Flywheel from those first two sentences, it turns out (she's not a major character), and although the tone sometimes becomes a bit more serious than this opening might indicate, it's hardly a misleading beginning.
Loyalty, by Arbarano (story: 2 stars)
The first line: The Cloudiseum echoed to thunderous applause and cheers as a grey, beaming pegasus made their way to join four others on a raised platform, bumping and shaking hooves as they settled in. Buried deep in the crowd of hopefuls below, Rainbow Dash could barely disguise the nerves as they rattled her breath.
Initial thoughts: I prefer "Cloudosseum," personally (though I'd be fine with -esseum, -usseum, or -isseum, too); "Cloudiseum" reads like "cloud museum" to me. On what I hope is a less idiosyncratic note, I dislike the use of the singular "they," seeing as there's absolutely no reason to try to obscure that pegasus's gender, and even if there was, rewording the sentence to avoid the issue is trivial. The setting and character are introduced quickly and clearly, but I still can't give this more than two stars, seeing as there's nothing else here beyond that, and nothing particularly memorable about the structure or phrasing.
After reading: Is "Cloudeseum" canon? I googled up a few spellings, and that's the one that appears to be the default. I don't like it.
As for the first line, it's still THE SAME. This is one of those WYSIWYG openings, content-wise.
The Sun & The Rose, by soulpillar (story: 2 stars)
The first line: "Cecilia, please... just a while longer," the knight said.
A leather boot, hastily strapped with a metal shin-guard, hit solid stone as the armoured man stepped through the mirror.
Initial thoughts: Looks like an in media res opening, and (as might be expected) it's not at all clear what's happening yet. The description in the second sentence doesn't immediately paint a clear picture (is this knight coming from battle, his armour falling apart? Has he rushed to the mirror, without having time to fully arm himself?), but "knight" paints a pretty clear mental image to begin with, so as long as the author's not specifically playing against that image, it's not hard to form a mental image so far. A weak three out of five.
After reading: I think it's a little WORSE in the end, in that the first sentence gives a pretty clear impression that Cecilia's actually there, when the knight is in fact talking to himself. Since that bit of misleading isn't done for any obvious effect, it seems to me it just muddles the opening, which is the last thing a story needs when it opens by thrusting the reading right into the action.
The Three Sisters, by WandererD (story: 1 star)
The first line: She watched as the bubble of red energy expanded from the forms of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, burning bright and strong: a fitting retort to her sister's bragging about power and uselessness.
Initial thoughts: The "she" here is pretty ambiguous, but that's not necessarily a flaw. There's still a pretty strong initial hook here, despite this basically just being "remember the end of A Canterlot Wedding?" There's nothing wrong with setting a reader up by recalling or reinterpreting the relevant bits of an episode. With that in mind, this is a clear three-star: it does what it sets out to do, and doesn't shoot itself in the foot doing it.
After reading: The story plays coy with the fact that "she" is Rarity throughout the first scene, which isn't a big deal (and, since she's the only one of the main-six who's character tagged, could probably be inferred from the get-go by those who pay greater attention to character tags than I apparently do), to no particular effect. In that sense, one could say that this opening is a bit WORSE than it looks at first blush, though it's fair to say that it's perfectly indicative of what's to come.
Arachnophobia, by Dennis the Menace (story: 1 star)
The first line: In the long run, I should have seen it coming a mile away. Perhaps this was punishment. That fateful day when Luna would want a furry companion. And how ironic that the most endearing aspect of her new pet terrified me out of my wits.
Initial thoughts: If it isn't clear enough from this, the story description makes plain that this is Celestia talking. I'm not enamored of the writing ("in the long run" and "a mile away" are awfully redundant when combined like that). Still, the short, punchy sentences provide a nice setup for some character-based tonal humor, and there's an obvious hook in "why is this ironic, why should she have seen this coming, etc." A strong two.
After reading: As near as I can tell, none of the questions posed by the opening are actually answered in this story, in favor of a bunch of "Celestia doesn't like spiders" without expansion. That makes this opening look quite a bit WORSE in retrospect.
Twice as Bright, by Cloudy Skies (story: 4 stars)
The first line: "For the reasons stated above, the city of Los Pegasus feels that a general tax lift in accordance with the attached forms and figures would be justified. As Mayor, I feel it is my duty to forward these concerns, while also thanking the Royal Administration Office for fair dealings in the past. Sincerely yours, Golden Chip."
Initial thoughts: I debated a bit where to cut this off; a couple more sentences would have given this some more context, but at that point, we're moving well past the "first sentence" concept. I'm not trying to judge the story's opening generally, I'm trying to judge the very first thing one takes in when one starts reading the story. With that in mind, this isn't an awful opening, in that it doesn't really do anything to scare me off, and does induce me to read a bit farther in order to find out what context this letter's being read in. But it doesn't tell me anything more than that, and it certainly doesn't pass the "quotable" test, in whole or part. Two stars.
After reading: As should be easy to guess, it's BETTER when given full context. This opening doesn't stand well on its own, but as part of a larger whole, it's perfectly suitable. It may not a wonderful "first sentence," but it's a fine piece of a "first scene."

It's been nearly two weeks since I planted four cantaloupe seeds. Each seed was placed in a little soil in a separate pod in an egg carton, and the carton placed on the sunny windowsill of the large kitchen window seat. This past Sunday two of the seeds, now sprouts, poked their bent over necks up out of the soil, and on Monday they raised their heads from the dirt. By Tuesday, the third sprout appeared, and on Wednesday the fourth sprout peeked out of the soil.
In the meantime, I assembled more makeshift egg carton planters, borrowed a little more soil from the outside garden, and planted the rest of the vegetables we're starting from seed in their own pods. Outside in the raised garden planter, during a surprise appearance of cold, misty weather, we planted small starter plants of hot peppers, cucumbers, and squash beside the herbs we'd planted the weekend before. In two large separate containers, we planted heirloom tomatoes.
Without my husband's help, the garden would not be a reality, so this week I wanted to feature his adaptation of a Spanish omelette. In Spain it's called tortilla, a traditional egg, potato and onion dish commonly served in tapas bars and restaurants. His version is slightly lighter as he doesn't fry the potatoes in lots of oil, and is easier in that you don't need to master the tricky tortilla flipping technique, which takes some practice. The added flavors of cheese and vegetables make this a filling and savory breakfast staple you'll want to fix often.
Spanish Omelette with Zucchini, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Parmesan & Goat Cheese
6 large eggs
1/2 medium-size zucchini, seeded and grated (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1-1/2 cups)
2 cups frozen packaged hash-brown style white potatoes
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1-1/2 oz. goat cheese, separated into several small pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10″ cast-iron skillet or other 10″ oven-proof non-stick skillet
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Crack eggs into large bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper to eggs. Whisk together until well-mixed. Set aside. Microwave potatoes on high, for about 2 minutes, until well-thawed. Set aside.
Heat skillet over medium-low heat, and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add diced onions and sauté slowly until translucent, being careful not to brown. Add diced sun-dried tomatoes and cook about 2 minutes to soften. Add grated zucchini and cook another 2 minutes to soften. Add thawed potatoes and cook another 2 minutes. Drizzle with another tablespoon of olive oil and add remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Stir so everything is mixed together evenly.
Add sautéed mixture to whisked eggs in bowl. Eggs should just cover the mixture-if not, add more eggs as needed. Add 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese and stir to incorporate. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes. Wipe any residue from skillet with a paper towel.
Heat 10″ cast-iron skillet to med-high. Test to see if skillet is ready before adding the egg mixture by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If the drops skitter across the pan and then evaporate, the skillet should be ready. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to skillet, swirling to completely coat the bottom and warm the oil.
Pour egg mixture into skillet, spreading it so it is even. Turn heat to medium-low. Add pieces of goat cheese randomly over top of mixture, pushing pieces down into mixture to incorporate. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until you see eggs beginning to set (the top of the omelette should still be fairly liquid when shaken). Don't leave for too long on the heat, as you don't want to overbrown the bottom of the omelette.
Once omelette has begun to set, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese evenly over the omelette, and put the skillet with the omelette onto middle rack in oven. Bake for about 5 to 10 minutes or until top of omelette is no longer liquid when shaken.
After eggs have set, turn oven setting to broil and watch carefully until surface of omelette turns golden and is slightly bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before handling.
Once omelette has cooled slightly, use a spatula to loosen the sides of the omelette from the skillet, and slide onto a large plate to serve. Cut into 8 wedges.
Makes 8 servings.

|The Swiss gypsies : the jenisch
Home > Tourist Guide > Table of contents > Graubuenden > The Swiss gypsies
The story of the Swiss gypsy people, known as the Jenisch (or Yenish), and how they have been treated over the last century by the Swiss authorities, is shocking, and exposes a calculated policy of Nazi-style eugenics carried out in Switzerland behind closed doors well into the 1970s. For almost fifty years, the Swiss government advocated and funded the wholesale kidnapping of Jenisch children, separating more than six hundred babies and toddlers from their families in what was nothing less than a determined attempt to completely wipe out Jenisch culture. Ghosts have still not been put to rest almost thirty years on, and the scandal remains a source of national shame and anger.
The Jenisch are one of the three main groups of central European gypsies, along with the Sinti and the Roma. During and after the great waves of gypsy migration in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, they travelled all over the continent, many arriving in Switzerland and specifically in Graubünden, where they lived a generally quiet, if socially ostracized, life. Amidst the tide of nationalism that swept through Europe after World War I, the science of eugenics gained widespread credibility, with its notion of state-sponsored "cleansing" of the racial gene pool by the forced removal from society of those with mental illnesses, physical disabilities and other characteristics seen as socially aberrant. Along with Jews and homosexuals, people with a lifestyle centred on travelling were singled out for special treatment. In 1926, the Swiss government approved a project set up by the children's charity Pro Juventute intended to eliminate vagrancy. Entitled Kinder der Landstrasse ("Children of the Road"), it effectively sanctioned child abduction: police seized Jenisch newborns and infants from their mothers without warning and carted them off to orphanages run by Pro Juventute. Some children were handed on to foster parents, effectively to vanish into society; others ended up shunted from pillar to post until their adulthood. Controlling committees brought in psychologists to deliver lengthy personality assessments and, as a result, large numbers of children were consigned to mental institutions, one of the most notorious of which was the Waldhaus clinic in Chur. Parents were not only not informed of their children's whereabouts, but were actively barred from making inquiries.
Kinder der Landstrasse was founded and directed by Alfred Siegfried. One of the aims of the project, according to Siegfried's own admission, was effectively to eliminate the Jenisch people altogether: "We must say that we have already achieved much if these people do not start a family, do not reproduce without restraint and bring new generations of degenerate and abnormal children into the world." As late as 1964 Siegfried was writing: "Nomadism, like certain dangerous diseases, is primarily transmitted by women… Anyone wishing to combat nomadism efficiently must aim to destroy the travellers' communal existence. Hard as it may seem, we must put an end to their family community. There is no other way." Under Siegfried's guidance, boys were forced into apprenticeships or onto farms as cheap labour, and girls were often either sent to convents, or simply kept under lock and key: Uschi Waser, chair of Naschet Jenische, foundation recently set up to campaign for Jenisch rights, was placed in 23 different institutions in 18 years. Jenisch were not just forbidden from marrying other Jenisch, they were imprisoned for attempting it. Mariella Mehr, a Jenisch writer who has campaigned to expose the Kinder der Landstrasse project, described her treatment at the hands of the scientists: "When I was three years old [1953], they realised I didn't want to talk. They decided to force me. They used a kind of bath-tub… The patients were made to lie in the tub and covered with a plank so they couldn't get out. Only their heads were above water. They were kept there in freezing-cold water for up to twenty hours."
In 1972, the Swiss weekly Der Schweizerischer Beobachter exposed the Kinder der Landstrasse project, to universal public outrage. Pro Juventute closed the operation down a year later, and yet, according to official reports, there were about a hundred victims of Kinder der Landstrasse still incarcerated in clinics and institutions in 1988, after the Swiss state had formally acknowledged its moral, political and financial responsibility for the abductions and apologized to the Jenisch. Although Pro Juventute's own summations of individual cases remain under a 100-year embargo, the findings of an official report into the whole affair were published in June 1998. Ruth Dreyfuss, President of the Swiss Confederation, was led to comment that "the conclusions of the historians leave no room for doubt. Kinder der Landstrasse is a tragic example of discrimination and persecution of a minority that does not share the way of life of the majority." The effects of the revelations on Swiss society have been devastating: along with the Nazi gold scandal, accusations of collaboration with the Nazis before and during World War II, and continuing evidence from historians undermining the treasured notion of Swiss neutrality, Kinder der Landstrasse – and specifically its cruelty and systematic inhumanity – has delivered a body blow to the generally accepted image of a wholesome, morally upright Switzerland, an image that has been held both by the Swiss themselves and by outsiders for a century or more.
The Jenisch, meanwhile, have begun to gain a new appreciation of their own culture. About five thousand of Switzerland's 35,000 Jenisch still head out on the road each summer, working as antique dealers or crafts people, handing on their skills and the Jenisch language to new generations. They have been assigned caravan grounds all over the country, and their children can even study while on the road with correspondence courses offered by many Swiss schools for the purpose. The majority of Jenisch however – often light-skinned and fluent in Swiss-German – live a settled life in mostly low-income housing on the edge of many Swiss cities, completely cut off from their culture. Meanwhile, Pro Juventute (www.projuventute.ch), though it dissociates itself from the Kinder der Landstrasse project these days, is still working to "protect children in danger of abandonment and vagrancy".

> > Hello, > > here the proposal for the Socket Connection section. > Thanks for putting that together, Jan. Wouldn't it be nice to have the recommendation also simply echo the existing socket implementations and provide a recommendation for full-blown socket support? Here are Perl's particular low-level implementation in Perl [1] and in C [2], built on top of the C socket support for linux. This approach is well proven and highly flexible. [1] http://seth.positivism.org/man.cgi/3/Socket in Perl [2] http://seth.positivism.org/man.cgi/socket in C I appreciate that this may be too far reaching for the WG to take on at this time and that full-blown socket support may be more appropriate for SVG-1.3. But just think how wonderful it would make the SVG UI layer to finally get away from the yoke of client-pull http connections and to get access to server-push and p2p capabilities without a server... There are some that suggest that sockets are inappropriate for SVG and should be relegated to YetAnotherNamespace... This is of course a valid point that has plenty of weight behind it. But nonetheless, SVG's main appeal to application developers is the ability to implement transparent communications without refreshing the page. Without the getURL/postURL that the Adobe SVG team doped into ASV3, SVG would be much less attractive to all of us as an application layer for web applications. Because of the great potential for useful work with SVG as an application GUI layer on the web, I very much would like to continue to see communications in 1.2, and would even push for (optional?) full-blown socket support matching either the above linux socket behaviour or a more Object-oriented implementation like the Perl one.

Garden of Early Delights - Pamela Thorby & Andrew Lawrence-King - Gramophone
The title's a play on both Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights and Jacob van Eyck's recorder collection The Flute's Garden of Delights; but more than anything this new disc recalls Herbert's line "a box where sweets compacted lie". Straddling the Renaissance and early Baroque, the programme comprises sonatas, sets of divisions and arrangements of songs and popular tunes from Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and England. This repertoire proves rich soil for Thorby and Lawrence-King, and the resulting cross-fertilisation of styles and modes of expression with a modern scholarly aesthetic enlivened by two of the keenest musical intelligences in the business results in a most satisfying listening experience.
Thorby maximises the affective impact of the music through an incredibly varied approach to articulation and phrasing - compare the lively glosses of the delightful opening track, Diego Ortiz's Recercada segunda de tenore, with the evocative, floating lines of Giovanni Battista Fontana's Sonata seconda. Lawrence-King is likewise alert to the rhetorical possibilities inherent in both his accompaniments and solos; in the former category, he proves an ideal partner for Thorby in his ability to think vocally, while in the latter his almost visual sense of line and colour is apparent, as in Biagio Marini's Passacaglio and Dowland's "Weep you no more".
Recorded sound is nothing short of stunning, while the cover image of a hummingbird nicely encapsulates Thorby's lightness and agility as she darts from piece to piece to extract its nectar. This is Paradise indeed.

Create PPT easily like an expert to impress your clients / boss
By Sampath | Growth Hacking
I created this presentation in 5 minutes. Pure Magic!
I bought the deal & created this PPT:
Slidebean does way more than creating PPTs. What's very special about it?
1. Slidebean helps you save at least 1-2 hours for every PPT you create. This is way more valuable than anything else for me
(I guess for you too)
2. Slidebean helps you look like a pro. With endless customization at every step of creating a PPT, you are going to make that first impression like a boss
3. Slidebean helps you save $100 (at least) for every presentation you create. I've worked with companies/people that charge at least $20/hr to create a PPT
4. Slidebean helps you improvise yourself, make you a better presenter
5. Slidebean contains great collection of icons, images, etc. to get you started
& much more
Back story:
I wanted to buy Slidebean right on the day Soft launch happened. I decided to wait to read some reviews first, although I liked the product a lot.
Like every sumo-ling here, I too witnessed a handful of letdowns by the Slidebean team:
* Slashing off $10 in exchange for lesser features
* Lack of response
* Customer support was not responding either
* Negative comments by fellow sumo-lingos
& so on
But, what did I do?
I liked the tool & wanted to have it. I knew this is too good of a deal to pass by.
I bought it & am 100% happy with my decision. Go for it, folks!

- Start with wiping your teeth with a cotton swab to get any excess saliva and plaque off your teeth.
- Now let's prepare the mixture. So I have my Lemon juice made from a freshly squeezed lemon and my baking soda. Chemicals in baking soda break down the discoloration of your teeth, instead of just bleaching it like many strips or gels do. In a small bowl, mix both ingredients till there is a slight bubble.
- Using a Q-tip gently coat your teeth with the mixture and leave it on for exactly 1 minute.
- Don't leave it on longer than a minute or else acidity from the lemon and abrasiveness of the baking soda can erode your tooth enamel.
- Rinse out with water and brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste normally. Brushing and rinsing in generally are extremely important and are major part of good oral hygiene. You should rinse with a little baking soda after each meal to prevent dark spots on your teeth!
- Use this treatment in conjunction with good oral hygiene and diet once every 2-3 weeks. Frequent use can also erode enamel.

Calderdale Council - Keynote Speaker
Central Government policy had resulted in the Council's funding being slashed, but expectations on quality of service and value remained extremely high. The client wanted to proactively address:-
- Silo working habits which had resulted in wasted effort, lack of focus on key priorities and not best use of people resources.
- The impact significant organisational change created uncertainty and adversely impacted employee engagement and motivation.
- The quality of service and cost effectiveness of its delivery needed to be improved to deliver best value for tax payers and residents of Calderdale.
An action-packed 60 minute keynote presentation in Leeds to an audience of more than 120 employees exploring:-
- How to quickly and easily develop more collaborative working habits to reduce errors, wasted effort and delays in service delivery.
- How to more effectively manage the emotionally turbulent side of organisational change and maintain a clear mental focus.
- How to develop greater emotional resilience to maintain a healthy 'Emotional Climate' within teams to better manage organisational change.
Client Feedback
"Scott's presentation was highly interactive, entertaining, thought provoking and relevant to the needs of our audience. The session was a refreshing change to the common 'sit and listen' approach used by many keynote presenters.
The feedback I received from event participants was extremely positive and I am happy to recommend Scott Watson and Summit to you if you don't want a 'Speaker' and instead wish to appoint a presenter who is credible, engaging and who can share valuable lessons that you can immediately apply in your workplace".

Duration: 3 hours minimum
Sometimes parents' schedules don't align with my class schedule or parents may have special circumstances that necessitate a more individualized class, and I do offer private classes for this purpose! Private classes are scheduled with a minimum of 3 hours - most parents find that 3-4 hours is sufficient for their needs.
Potential class topics include:
- Breathing practices, Comfort Measures, & Positioning,
- How to get Evidence Based Care,
- VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean),
- Planning a family-centered cesarean,
- Writing a birth plan (and understanding all of the options in it!),
- Breastfeeding,
- Newborn Care & Babywearing,
- and more!
*I always recommend group classes when possible - they're more fun due to interactive activities, and parents tend to "get more" out of them, because they also get to learn from other parents' questions. However, a private class is definitely a great option for those who just can't make the schedule work - or who have special needs that would make a more private class preferable!
Private classes take place in your home, typically on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday evening. Saturdays may also be available on a first come, first serve basis. Please contact me to schedule!
Course Fee:
$225 for 3 hours.
$35 for each additional hour.

The logistics of Day One of tour went about as well as could be hoped. Got up at 5 AM, was at JFK by 7, and landed at LAX at 10:40 Cali time, about a half hour early. (JetBlue, you're the absolute frickin' best. Love ya.) Picked up my rental car (the sporty Hyundai Elantra!), snagged my homeboy Salvador in Pasadena (his parents have an avocado tree in their back yard!!), and made it up to Santa Barbara super quickly.
The drive to Santa Barbara was breathtakingly gorgeous. I'd never visited this area prior to yesterday, and having heard so many positive things about the scenery, my expectations were absolutely satisfied. Getting the hell out of high-strung, needlessly stressful, fugly-ass Brooklyn for a couple weeks will likely do the ol' soul a world of good.
Preshow, we drove downtown in search of some great fish tacos finding them at Tacos El Rey. Piled high with lightly fried fish chunks, cotilla cheese and mango salsa, these were the best fish tacos I've ever eaten, for reals. So good, in fact, that we ordered a second round after polishing off our first few. The el pastor was also excellent, and I highly recommend their peanut salsa.
(Therein lurks deliciousness!)
Walking through town pre-show was great, even if the laughably over-the-top police presence was somewhat unpleasant and completely unnecessary. Either way, there's just something inherently relaxing about palm trees and gorgeous weather, and it amazed me to find all manner of succulents planted throughout town in spots that would normally be occupied by small grassy knolls or the like in other towns.
What's more, Santa Barbara Bowl is the most beautiful venue where I've ever concert. (Salvador and I visited Red Rocks before Dicks2 a little less than two months ago, but I've never actually seen a show there.) The panoramic views from the upward terrace are just incredible, and the venue itself is charming and cozy. Smallest venue at which I've ever seen a Phish show, too.
Now, onto the music. (Apologies in advance if some truly JadedVet-level horsecrap spews out of me for the next couple of paragraphs.) This was my 134th Phish show, my 14th of the year so far, and it was (musically speaking) probably the least enjoyable show I've seen since MPP '09 #realtalk. The first set left a lot to be desired in the way of song selection, and contained little-if-any notable improv to speak of. And the second set was characterized by jamming similar to what went down at SPAC and Mann from early in Summer Tour - not a lot of huge peaks, and with none of the thrilling, high wire act leads that made last year's Fall Tour such a joy. Apparently there's been quite a bit of speculation about the horribly botched ending of "Birds" and Trey's subsequent banter (he said something like "how many of you wish that had ended differently?"), but who knows what was going on. All in all, the show was marked by many flubs (including the usually reliable "Stealing Time" and "Suzy") and there were too many ripcords for me to even recall all of them
To be fair, there were some quality moments, with the "Chalkdust" briefly approaching the soaring, uber-happy rock and roll jamming that Phish relied upon so frequently during the best jams from summer. The "Wombat" went briefly type 2, if I'm remembering correctly, which was probably the highest energy point of the evening. "Tweezer"'s jam was centered around a riff similar to part of Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good to Me." And the "Boogie On" encore featured some welcome extra length. But by and large, there really isn't much worthy of relistening, unless you're a huge fan of documenting awkward ripcords and flubbed transitions. If we're choosing a "band MVP" from last night, just give the trophy to Kuroda.
Regardless, for all of my complaints about the lack of cohesion and middling improv, we had a wonderful time. It's really a testament to this band's greatness that one can have highly critical feelings about a given Phish show and still admit that it was a great, great time. I felt that Summer Tour took a few shows to really get going, although once the band had picked up steam by Randalls1, there were enough stellar performances that the summer should be considered a smashing success. Hoping for some legit FIRE tonight, but even if there isn't, there's absolutely nothing I'd rather be doing (within reason) than seeing Phish play.
OK, enough for now, off to the beach!

Peter Crabb: Fed's behavior led to today's crisis, risks inflation later
More often than not, you get what you pay for.
According to economist John Taylor of Stanford University, the Federal Reserve got us the financial instability we see today by buying its way out of the 2001 recession.
Taylor is most famously known for recommending a rules-based economic policy, appropriately called the Taylor Rule. The rule instructs monetary policymakers to set the short-term interest rate in the banking system based on a target inflation rate and the gap between actual and trend gross domestic product.
The theory predicts that we will see better long-run economic growth and less financial price volatility than an approach whereby everyone is guessing what the Federal Reserve will do next. Between 2002 and 2004 interest rates were well below what the rule required and contributed to our problems today.
In a new book, "Getting Off Track: How Government Actions and Interventions Caused, Prolonged, and Worsened the Financial Crisis," Professor Taylor shows that if interest rates followed the Taylor-rule path during this same period, the housing boom would have ended in 2003 because the cost of mortgage debt would have risen much higher.
There is no indication today that policy makers will commit to following rules to achieve more stability in the economy, but they are discussing whether to hold regular news conferences. This would provide more opportunity to hear just what policy or strategy the Fed is following and should lead to less guesswork.
Government actions and interventions like those seen over the last six months can cause, prolong, and even worsen financial crises by creating greater uncertainty. A commitment to more transparency through regular discussions with the public can mitigate this problem.
Meanwhile, European policy makers realize that the excessive increases in the money supply for both Europe and the United States will need to be quickly reversed as soon as the economy picks up. Peer Steinbrück, German finance minister, recently warned that the world will see high inflation, and as Taylor suggests, a "crisis after the crisis," when the global economy recovers.
What is needed to avoid high inflation is for central banks to raise interest rates rapidly. But such quick adjustments to protect against inflation can lead to a quick end to any economic recovery. So far, deflation, not inflation is the order of the day. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that U.S. consumer prices fell 0.1% in March and were down 0.4% from a year ago. This annual decline is the first since 1955.
However, the bond market sees little evidence that price declines will continue. The yield-spread, or the difference between the interest rate on 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury notes, remains steady at 1.9 percent. A positive spread suggests rising inflation and interest rates.
Many commodity prices are also continuing their upward trends. Gold prices are up 10 percent from their lows of January.
To date, government policies of easier money and greater federal government spending are sending strong inflationary signals and increasing market price volatility.
Since 2000, Peter R. Crabb has been a professor of finance and economics at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa. He earned his doctorate in international and financial economics from the University of Oregon.

Prince William and David Beckham have joined forces to launch a new campaign in support of endangered species.
The #WhoseSideAreYouOn campaign calls on members of the public to pick a side in the fight against the illegal wildlife trade.
"It"s time to choose between critically endangered species and the criminals who kill them for money. Whose side are you on" William wrote on the official website of his charity United for Wildlife ahead of the launch.
David Beckham and Prince William
"We are not asking for your money," he added. "We are asking for your voice and your attention… Use the #WhoseSideAreYouOn hashtag to join the movement on Twitter and Facebook."
As the charity"s president, William kicked off the social media campaign on Monday. The Duke of Cambridge was seen arriving at Google Town Hall in London, alongside a host of famous faces including David.
The pair have previously teamed up to show their support against poaching, hunting and illegal wildlife trafficking.
Prince William
Addressing the crowd, William started by saying that United for Wildlife had set out such commitments back in February. "That was our first step," he said. "But we knew we needed to do more to bring this trade into the open.
"Illegal wildlife trade thrives because it is hidden, it is invisible, making it easy for criminals to build and expand their violence and greed. We wanted to find a way to show the world what was happening. Our plea is this. Join us and help stop the illegal poaching."
The audience was then shown a short video highlighting the consequences of the trade, which has meant that "two thousand critically endangered species are on the verge of being lost forever."
David Beckham and Prince William
Football legend David, who is an ambassador for United for Wildlife, also took to the stage, calling the situation "devastating" and insisting that "we need to do something now."
Prince William and David: "I want our children to know that rhinos are not just a picture in a book"
David seemed particularly keen to back the latest campaign as it focuses on using sport to raise awareness of conservation issues. The cause has resonated with a host of sporting celebrities, including Andy Murray, Lewis Hamilton and basketball champion Yao Ming, who are also ambassadors for the organisation.
Only 3 days until the official launch of United For Wildlife! #WhoseSideAreYouOn pic.twitter.com/oQlmtJMiTK
— United for Wildlife (@united4wildlife) June 6, 2014
Andy, Lewis and other stars have taken part in the trend of posting photos of themselves online, holding up placards that read, "#WhoseSideAreYouOn" to encourage members of the public to follow suit.
A few days before Monday"s official launch, Princes William and Harry added a touch of royalty to the campaign by posing with similar signs that they had autographed.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our babymoon and we got exactly what we were looking for: relaxation. One of the main reasons we booked this B&B in particular was the jacuzzi, and it definitely did not disappoint. The house is located very close to the city center, though we took our car a lot as the weather we not so nice. After an outing it wss so nice to go back to the room and warm up with a nice soak in the tub. The Mikado Room was beautiful and we loved how quiet and private it seemed despite being on the main floor. We only briefly saw one other person in the house during our entire long-weekend stay. The drawing room had tea and cookies out which we thought was a very nice touch. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay here and would return again.

Fukushima Reactor Core May Now Be Into Groundwater
Radiation expert says outcome of nuke crisis hard to predict, warns of further dangers
As a radiation metrology and nuclear safety expert at Kyoto University's Research Reactor Institute, Hiroaki Koide has been critical of how the government and Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) have handled the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant. Below, he shares what he thinks may happen in the coming weeks, months and years.
The nuclear disaster is ongoing. Immediately after the crisis first began to unfold, I thought that we'd see a definitive outcome within a week. However, with radioactive materials yet to be contained, we've remained in the unsettling state of not knowing how things are going to turn out.
Without accurate information about what's happening inside the reactors, there's a need to consider various scenarios. At present, I believe that there is a possibility that massive amounts of radioactive materials will be released into the environment again.
At the No. 1 reactor, there's a chance that melted fuel has burned through the bottom of the pressure vessel, the containment vessel and the floor of the reactor building, and has sunk into the ground. From there, radioactive materials may be seeping into the ocean and groundwater.

QuickE: Dhoni & Sakshi Watch 'Race 3'; Deepika On Depression
1. MS Dhoni and Sakshi Watch 'Race 3' With Salman Khan
A special screening of the upcoming big budget action bonanza Race 3 was held in Mumbai on Tuesday night. The screening saw close friends and family of the cast and crew of Race 3 come in to watch the Salman Khan-starrer. What caught our eye was that apart from the regulars, cricketer MS Dhoni was also spotted at the screening with wife Sakshi. The cast of Race 3 including Salman, Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor and Daisy Shah were also seen attending the show.
2. Depression Today Is a Growing Epidemic: Deepika Padukone
On Tuesday 12 June, Deepika Padukone shared a message by The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TLLLF), the organisation she founded for issues surrounding mental health. Shared on her Instagram, Deepika used the examples of the recent suicides of designer Kate Spade and chef Anthony Bourdain to spark new dialogue and discussion about depression, the misunderstood illness.
Every 40 seconds, a person dies by suicide (WHO). We are reminded of these grave statistics when the loss is centred around prominent individuals who are mourned across the world. Last week, the world lost two of its shining stars to the growing epidemic that is depression. They did not take their own lives. DEPRESSION did.Deepika Padukone

As usual, their outfits are on point and they look cute as ever. Virat wore a light blue shirt with navy blue trousers, and a light brown belt perfectly matched with light brown moccasins, while Anushka wore a white top with a denim jacket, chequered pants and sporty white sneakers. You could definitely use their OOTDs for inspo!
4. Majidi's Children of Heaven Made Me Consider Direction: Pa Ranjith
Rajinikanth starrer Kaala is loaded with Pa Ranjith's overtly pro-Dalit ideology. From the plate number of Rajini's Thar to a politically charged narrative, the director has used the platform to tell a story of the underprivileged. In an interview with The Indian Express, Ranjith talks about his introduction to Ambedkar, what drew him to filmmaking and more.
Much has been spoken about Rajinikanth using Kaala to propel him headfirst into Tamil Nadu politics. But Ranjith denies any "overt connection".
5. Manoj Bajpayee to Feature In a New Amazon Original India Series

Titled The Family Man, the show is touted to be an edgy drama-action series about a middle-class man who works for the National Intelligence Agency. The show will be produced and directed by the filmmaker duo Raj & DK (The Gentleman, Go Goa Gone, Shor In The City) and features Manoj Bajpayee in the lead.
Bajpayee will essay the role of an agent of the NIA who not only has to protect the nation from terrorists but also has to protect his own family from the impact of his secretive, high-risk job. The Family Man will be launched on the platfom in 2019 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Apart from Bajpayee, the series will also star Priyamani, Sharib Hashmi, Neeraj Madhav, Sharad Kelkar and others.

father, Richard, isn't pleased that she'll be going to the school, which had
rejected her several times in the past, because he thinks it's more about her
mother's desires than her own. George Eliot's cloistered atmosphere and
emphasis on intellectual rigor soon alienates Audrey; she quickly falls in with
a popular clique, becoming their errand girl for nasty pranks on both teachers
and fellow students. Ruth, meanwhile, finds herself irresistibly drawn to new
English teacher Henry. When she's mugged late one night in the parking lot,
Henry is there to help her move past her shock and straight into his arms. As
Audrey struggles to fit in and Ruth gives herself over to her passions, the
mother/daughter dynamic becomes increasingly strained. Will the women lose
themselves in pursuit of their ideals or learn to value their humanity, even if
it means not fitting in? Although characters such as Larissa and popular girls'
clique leader Arabella verge on one-dimensional villainy, Bridge expertly
navigates the complexity of Ruth and Audrey's changing relationship. She poses
larger questions about the value of duty and honor, both to one's family and
oneself. Ultimately, both mother and daughter have much to learn from each
A patina of restraint and deeply
buried resentment infuses every passage and short, meaning-laden exchange,
making this a minutely observed if occasionally claustrophobic portrait of
personal awakenings.

Arts and Crafts for Seniors with Dementia
Activities for seniors that seniors would really love and have a lot of fun from doing the said activities should be the most important factor to consider when choosing activities for seniors. One type of activities for seniors that is simple and fun for seniors to engage in is arts and crafts. There are a lot of fun and simple arts and crafts ideas for seniors, even for seniors with special care needs, such as dementia. However, it is very important to keep the activity simplified, so that it can accommodate seniors' physical and mental limitations.
Activities for Seniors with Dementia: Arts and Crafts
Seniors with dementia do not have similar attention and care requirements. Every senior suffering from dementia has different needs, and in all activities for seniors with dementia, it should meet every senior's likes and needs. Arts and Crafts ideas for seniors with dementia should be kept simple and quite challenging as possible, but not to the extent that can cause frustration to the senior. There is really no end to arts and crafts for seniors, with or without dementia, since arts and crafts is really up to one's own imagination.
Activities for Seniors: Working with Seniors with Dementia
Even a senior is suffering from dementia, they should not be degraded and treated as a little child. You should give the seniors suffering from dementia space while he or she is working on his arts and crafts. Give seniors as much independence as possible and allow them to create their own personalized craft out from their own creativity. Offer help when needed and just constantly monitor the senior with dementia as he or she is doing his or her craft.
Arts and Crafts Ideas for Seniors with Dementia
Do not overwhelm the senior with a lot of different art materials and complicated arts and crafts activities. Just provide a few art materials that are useful. Always remember that arts and crafts for seniors with dementia are done for therapeutic purposes and help the senior relax and engage in brain stimulating activities. Here are some simple yet fun activities for seniors with dementia under Arts and Crafts:
- Playing with Play Dough– Aside from letting the creative side of the senior with dementia to work, this type of activity is also a great way in exercising and stretching the fingers and hands. There are pre-made play dough that can be bought in stores or you can help seniors to make their own play dough by using flour, water, and coloring. Play dough allows the senior to create whatever they can think of, may it be animals, plants, shapes, houses, buildings, food, etc.
- Painting – painting is a very simple and fun arts and crafts activities for seniors. You can ask seniors to paint vases, rocks, frames, or even on canvass. Painting can also be done outdoors, which can be beneficial for seniors, with or without dementia. Whatever result or finished product you get from seniors, always show appreciation and never tell seniors negative feedbacks.
- Scrapbooking – Give seniors old magazines and newspapers and ask them to cut out picture that they find interesting. And ask seniors to create a personalized page or an entire scrapbook. You can even give or suggest themes for seniors' scrapbook ideas, such as summer, favorite things, favorite food, clothes, family, etc.

@RedSoxRedShoes Man, I LOVE talking to Uber and Lyft drivers. I think it's the writer in me. I want to know who the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
There are a few less lights on Broadway this week.
In the fallout of the current economic crisis in the United States, nine Broadway musicals let their stages go dark with their performances yesterday. To be fair, two of them were limited engagements (Irving Berlin's White Christmas and a Liza Minnelli show), but that still means that seven full-time shows have shut down. Young Frakenstein, Hairspray and Grease were just some of the ones that have made their way off the Great White Way.
Personally I don't think it was fully tcorrect to blame the current financial atmosphere, these shows have simply priced themselves out of the realm of reason. When I was recently considering one of my umpteen aborted attempts at taking a vacation, I was looking at going to New York City. The friend I was going to visit had told me that the prices were through the roof, but I really wanted to see a show. I got the idea I would surprise her with tickets, since it would be my treat, she wouldn't be able to complain much. Well, after I went online and saw that two tickets were going to run me over $400, I scratched that idea.
How can these shows possibly think that they are worth north of $200 a ticket? How can anyone get introduced to the genre at that price? How could a family possibly afford to go? Yet, if I want to go see a show of a touring company in St. Louis, I will pay in the neighborhood of $50 or $60. Sure that's still a bit high for two hours of entertainment, but at least it is still in the realm of sanity.
It does make you wonder why in the world tickets to the New York version would run around 300% more. It's the same number of actors… the same sets… the same amount of crew, and heck, the road show has to pay gas, lodging, some food expenses. It just doesn't add up.
While I am sorry to see so many shows close, I also have to say that Broadway needs to be looking in the mirror a bit more as to who is to blame for this.

I realized the other day that I don't spend nearly enough time photographing Boston, especially considering I work there every day. So I started to remedy this the other night with an impromptu shoot after work. The sky decided not to participate in my plans around sunset, but I was able to grab some pre-blue hour shots of the skyline. This is a 4 shot panorama of downtown looking across Fort Point Channel. The red building and ship in the middle are part of the Boston Tea Party Museum which was recently renovated and reopened. I haven't had a chance to take a tour, but plan to make a visit some time soon. As for the image, I'm still working on my pano skills, and definitely need some practice as evidenced by the distortion throughout the image. I'm certainly pleased with the result, but recognize I need to keep at it.

Very nice pano Steven. The Boston waterfront is just teeming with photo opportunities.
Steven, the image is fantastic. One of the best I've seen of the museum. Would you mind linking your text about Boston Tea Party Museum to their website? http://www.bostonteapartyship.com Have a great week!
I agree with Andy, you are being a bit harsh on yourself. There might me some minor distortions but this is still a very nice image. The red museum building and the ship in the harbor are the perfect counterpoints to the modern high-rises.
Very nice shot, Steven. I really like the reflections and the muted but still dynamic color treatment. And if you hadn't mentioned the distortion, I would not have noticed.
Very nice pano work, Steven. This is a really nice looking image. Love the colors in this.
A fine cityscape pano. Boston certainly has some photogenic places to capture. I was there 5 years ago and loved it.

Japanese expert urges Asean to reform food policies
Asean member countries need to reform their food policies to create food security and strong capacity to address the skyrocketing prices of rice due to the current global food crisis, Indonesian state news agency Antara quoted a Japanese agricultural economic expert as saying Saturday.
"A reform in the food policies also has to do with the future interests of Asean which is striving to create an Asean economic community as a dynamic region and a strong segment of global supply chain," Professor Keishiro Itagaki of the Tokyo University of Agriculture said at a one-day workshop organized by the Association of Indonesian Students (PPI) in Japan.
For its part, Asean member countries needed to establish close cooperation with one another by building a new mechanism including their involvement in one free trade area, he said.
In connection with a reform in their rice policy, Asean member countries needed to reduce duties on and quotas of rice imports in stages, he said.
The measures were a manifestation of their responsibilities for creating international food stability, particularly in keeping rice stocks at an appropriate level, he said.
"For Asean itself, exchanging information among its member countries on the estimate of rice supplies, demands and stocks is inevitable," he said.
Sharing Itagaki's views, the agricultural attache at the Indonesian Embassy in Tokyo, Pudjiatmoko, underscored the need for the regional grouping to form joint rice stocks to avoid a food crisis that might affect any of its member countries in the years to come.
"The time has come for Asean member states to do so, particularly to maintain their economic growth," he said.
Itagaki said Japan could play its role both in providing outlets for rice market in the country and in financing the formation of Asean joint rice stocks.
Japan could also provide Asean member countries with expertise on how to produce rice of high quality, he said.
"Japan can also play a role in helping rehabilitate irigation systems and facilities in Asean member countries as well as in helping create a pattern for disseminating information on rice supply and demand in Asia," he said.
He further said rising demand for rice in Asia's fast growing economies, China and India, development of agricultural product-based bio-energy, and climate change-induced harvest failures were responsible for the skyrocketing prices of the staple.

Dan Sheehan (b. 1988) is an improvising pianist and composer from Melbourne, Australia, engaged in writing and performing original music. His work reflects passions for both the jazz tradition and post-jazz integration of 20th century classical languages, and he aims to promote a distinct synthesis between improvisation and composition, regarding both elements as equally powerful devices in live performance.
Sheehan leads Infinite Ape, an improvising collaborative currently comprising trumpeter Reuben Lewis, woodwind specialist Tony Hicks and Danish percussionist Christian Windfeld. Alongside original contributions, Infinite Ape has explored repertoire by NYC alto-maverick Tim Berne, and has developed a cohesive, collective approach to improvisation and navigation. The trio released its self-titled debut in 2013 which, in addition to receiving national airplay and critical praise, earned Sheehan a shortlisted Bell Award nomination. The project's 2014 follow-up, Civil Languages, documented a dual percussion recording with Hicks, Windfeld and Berlin-based Samuel Hall.
In addition to his own projects, Sheehan has performed or recorded with the Monash Art Ensemble, Australian Art Orchestra, Mirko Guerrini (Italy), John Abercrombie (USA), Tim Fain (USA), Hermeto Pascoal (Brazil), Paul Williamson, Stephen Magnusson and Philip Rex. He appears regularly with Tim Willis & The End, the Brae Grimes 5tet, 'Mon Frere Mon Frere', and Helen Catanchin's Lena.
A graduate of Monash University, Sheehan was awarded first class Honours for a thesis entitled Collective Freedom, Individual Control: Tim Berne and the role of the composer in improvised music. He has studied locally with Marc Hannaford, Tony Gould, Sam Keevers and Steve Sedergreen, and in New York with Kris Davis, Tim Berne and Ralph Alessi. Through further opportunities to study at the Banff Centre and the School for Improvisational Music, he has pursued a deeply personal stream of creative practice that will continue to inform his ongoing work.

eBay says online criminals are getting more organised and branching out from the Windows operating system to use the open-source Linux platform.
eBay recently did an in-depth analysis of its threat situation, and while the company is not releasing the results of this analysis it did uncover a huge number of hacked, botnet computers, said Dave Cullinane, eBay's chief information and security officer, speaking at a Microsoft-sponsored security symposium at Santa Clara University.
Cullinane, who one year ago downplayed the role of organised crime in phishing ("It's not the Sopranos," he said), believes that online attackers are indeed becoming more sophisticated, with malware developers now being funded to develop new and improved attacks.
In the past year, Cullinane has seen better organisation by eBay fraudsters. Criminals are being paid to develop better types of attacks, and the attacks are getting harder to detect, he added. "The phishing emails I see are extremely sophisticated," he said.
Apparently, this growing professionalisation has even cut down on mangled grammar. "The language they're using is very good." Cullinane said.
Last week eBay said data on 1,200 eBay members had probably been stolen via a phishing scam. The members' data was posted to the company's Trust & Safety discussion forum.

^This. When I was on my college team and training for the 10k, I would try to lose about 3-5lbs. before conference or my peak race. Would plan to have sex with my girlfriend (now my wife) about every night which probably lowered my caloric intake at dinner by about 500cals. And all kidding aside, it helped lose those few lbs.
I like sex... wrote:
I find sex helps keep the wait down, like if I know I will get some later on I won't be eating a big dinner and feeling too full for later on.

Also, from a male's perspective, semen has evolved to give spermatozoa the best shot at reaching the egg. It is high in nutrients that rest of your body needs for training and recovery.

Run TeamViewer on Raspberry Pi
Step-by-step instruction on running TeamViewer on Raspberry Pi
using ExaGear Desktop
TeamViewer is a pretty popular remote access software but unfortunately it is not available for ARM-based devices such as Raspberry Pi 2. Luckily, there is a way to run TeamViewer on Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 using ExaGear Desktop, which allows to run x86 apps on Raspberry Pi devices.
Below is a simple instruction on how to run TeamViewer on your RPi 2 or RPi3. You can also find 2 more ways of running Remote Desktop on Raspberry Pi in one of our other posts.
Important note: please use this step-by-step instruction if you would like to run TeamViewer on Raspberry Pi Zero or Raspberry Pi 1. There are some additional tricks.
Raspberry Pi test stand configuration
|Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
|Raspberry Pi 3
|900 MHz
|1200 MHz
|Operating System
|Raspbian from March 2017
|Raspbian from March 2017
|TeamViewer v12
Eltechs ExaGear Desktop for Raspberry Pi 2
|TeamViewer v12
Eltechs ExaGear Desktop for Raspberry Pi 3
TeamViewer installation instruction
Install ExaGear Desktop
1. Install ExaGear Desktop using the following command:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install exagear-desktop
Launch guest x86 system
2. Enter the guest x86 system using the following command:
$ exagear
Starting the shell in the guest image /opt/exagear/images/debian-8
A graphical windows will pop up and offer you to activate the trial of ExaGear Desktop. You'll need to input your name and e-mail address.
3. Once you submit the activation form you will be forwarded into the guest x86 system in the terminal. You can check that you are in x86 environment by running the 'arch' command:
$ arch
4. It is recommended to update apt-get repositories on the first launch of the guest system:
$ sudo apt-get update
Install TeamViewer
5. Download TeamViewer:
$ wget http://download.teamviewer.com/download/version_12x/teamviewer_i386.deb
6. Install TeamViewer:
$ sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_i386.deb ; sudo apt-get install -f
7. Download wine1.6-2g-2g.tar.gz:
$ wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/wine1.6-2g-2g/wine1.6-2g-2g.tar.gz
8. Unpack and run teamviewer-fix-2g.sh script:
$ tar -xzvf wine1.6-2g-2g.tar.gz
$ sudo ./teamviewer-fix-2g.sh
Run TeamViewer
Please note that TeamViewer doesn't work properly at the first launch if you access Raspbian desktop via any remote access program. To overcome the issue please connect Raspberry Pi to monitor, then run TeamViewer.
You will see TeamViewer GUI, will be asked to accept license agreement and then will have TeamViewer ready to connect. Please setup unattended access and save the ID and password. After that you can disconnect Raspberry Pi from the monitor and you will have remote access to Raspbian desktop using saved ID and password. You will be able to connect remotely even after the device reboot (as teamviewer daemon will autostart automatically).
Final notes
There are two tricky and not obvious steps in the instruction above: 8 and 9. The fact is that TeamViewer for Linux is based on Windows version of it and uses Wine to run TeamViewer for Windows on Linux OS. Also there are two OS configurations of splitting of 4g virtual memory: (i) 3g for application and 1g for Linux kernel; (ii) 2g for application and 2g for Linux kernel. They are called 3g/1g and 2g/2g memory split respectively. In x86 world all Linux systems use 3g/1g memory split but Raspbian uses 2g/2g from March 2015 release. Unfortunately Wine does not support 2g/2g memory split and fails on that kernel.
We patched Wine to support 2g/2g memory split and built it. We placed the patched version of Wine in the archive wine1.6-2g-2g.tar.gz (Step 8) and attached teamviewer-fix-2g.sh script (Step 9) which copies all the necessary files. That patched Wine avoids fails of Wine and TeamViewer.
Please note that you can run TeamViewer on Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi 1, but with some tricks. For details please use this step-by-step instruction to run TeamViewer on RPi Zero and RPi 1.
It is worth to note that with ExaGear Desktop you can run many other x86 apps (e.g. Netflix for Raspberry Pi or OwnCloud) on RPi 2 and RPi 3. ExaGear also supports the first generation of Raspberry Pi and another ARM-based devices, such as Odroid, Banana Pi, Beagleboard, Cubox, Jetson, Cubieboard etc.
