Action Alert
Please Tell Congress: Fund the "Money Follows the Person" Program through the IMPROVE Act
Congress is expected to vote this week on the future of the "Money Follows the Person" (MFP) program.
MFP has helped more than 88,000 seniors and individuals with disabilities move into a setting of their choice, and has helped 44 states improve access to community-based long term care, also known as "home and community-based services" (HCBS). This is because MFP provides federal funding to states for transitional services for individuals who wish to leave a nursing home or other institution.
Contact Your Representative Here
Background: MFP significantly improves the lives of older adults and people with disabilities by assisting them to transition out of institutional settings. By favoring community-based services, states save money and see better outcomes. That's why nearly every state has participated in the program!
MFP expired September 30, 2016, and states are running out of funding. Seven states are already out of funding and ALL programs will end by the end of 2018.
Congress must ACT NOW!
Independent evaluations have proven MFP improves the quality of life for individuals has and reduced Medicaid and Medicare expenditures by approximately 23%. Unfortunately, states have already stopped transitions to the community and are scaling back their programs, reducing dedicated staff and crucial resources. Without action NOW, more people will be stuck in institutions.
Please Act Now! Ask your Members of Congress to vote "yes" on the IMPROVE Act, which includes funding for MFP for one year.

Things I want to work towards.
- lots more friends, some friends I can ring and say, hey, do you want to go to the pub tonight!! (hence no. 2 below)
- loose weight, my medication made me put on a stone so I am going to have another attempt at shifting it!
- be happier
Steps I am starting with
1. Start going to the gym again, (2 or 3 times a weeks) I managed this reasonably well until my car troubles. My car is now fixed so no excuses!
2. Invite people round for coffee and even proper dinner parties. I did one with my friends and parents last week and I have invited someone from work for coffee. This is a huge thing for me but an important step I think.
3. Try to be more organised with housework. I made laods of lists and planned what days to do each on, it has gone pear shaped today as I has Mc Donalds and now I am in the internet cafe. I put clean the bathrooms today so it is not all lost, I can do that in 15mins as I did the ensuite on Monday!! Health eating has gone out the window today, I must make sure I have a few ready meals next week!
4. To help with no. 3 I have put daylight bulbs in my bedroom and in one bathroom. I have also ordered a daylight lamp for my desk at work. So far this has given me more energy in the evenings so I am going to buy more bulbs for the hall way and living room. I only seen to be able to get old fashioned type bulbs at the moment, no hallogen bulbs and no energy saving bulbs - does anyone know if anyone makes them?
Just a quick footnote: A friend has taken my laptop away to have a look at it, if he can fix it I might get it back next week. I am really really missing it!!

Many calendar options exist, but I have chosen Google, and have used it since it was in beta (I probably began using it in 2007 or early 2008, along with gmail). At the time, I traveled for business and needed something with me wherever I was. I had used yahoo for the few years prior to that, but simply did not care for it as well. So, I chose Google - and have used it for most everything since (including tasks and notes, ironically).
We all have calendars we use for various purposes, and my purpose this week is not to show how to place something on a digital calendar, but to share a couple of principles as to what I include on my calendar - and only on my calendar.
The most important reason for a calendar is to track your schedule of meetings and appointments. These appointments can include appointments for yourself. For a pastor that could include study time, sermon prep time, prayer time, etc. A few weeks ago, I mentioned the book Deep Work. The idea of engaging in deep work is that you need to schedule blocks of time to allow you to go deep, to think deeply (and often critically). If we do not plan these times, they will not happen. Personally, I have several calendars that show themselves on my Google Calendar. I have a personal calendar (family gatherings, doctor appointments, etc), one for the church, one for MY work at the church, one for PTC, and one for all other ministry aspects such as teaching at the college/seminary, helping churches, etc. All of these show on one calendar and are distinctive by color (which is the same color I use for the tasks in ToDoist). I will say more about how tasks and calendar items are kept separate in a moment. First, let me mention why I keep a separate calendar for the church and MY church work.
The idea of having two calendars may be obvious to some, but perhaps not to everyone - especially for a new pastor, particularly one at a small church, who might be reading this. The rationale is that the church will have regular items on a calendar. For instance, each week, our church gathers on Sunday mornings (Sunday School and Worship), Sunday evenings, and Wednesday evenings. Those items are rather fixed. However, we also have other semi-regular events, special events, and meetings that are on the calendar (which is online for members or guests to view). But sometimes, something is not a church-wide event or meeting. For instance, items related to meeting with someone (or a group) about a prospective idea for the church, or mentoring someone, making a home visit, etc. do not need to be on the public church calendar. They do need to be on mine. So, I have a separate calendar for these items. However, because they are both related to the church, they both are in the same color family (green). (From a task perspective, I do not separate these items.) Another benefit of having this second calendar is that it separates your identity from that of the church. Especially for those serving at smaller churches, as I do currently, many expect the pastor to be at every function. If your calendar and the church's calendar are the same, you might fall for that trap. Having a distinction, even a minor one, can help provide an air of freedom which is important because the pastor is not the church nor is the church the pastor!
Let me move on to discuss another important distinction I make with my approach to calendaring. I do not like a cluttered calendar, so whenever possible, I leave it open. That is, I don't have to schedule my time for a lot of what I do and thus does not go on my calendar. Appointments, meetings, and gatherings (such as with family) are what go on my calendar.
A calendar is for things with dates and times. Most of the tasks I do throughout the week do not need to have a time. For instance, I am writing this on Wednesday and one of my Wednesday tasks is to take out the trash. It must be done in the morning, but I know that. Because it is a task, I have a task in ToDoist (without a time listed, although ToDoist does allow times), but not a calendar item. So, simple or even time-consuming tasks do not show on my calendar in part because I want to keep it simple. I am not trying to create a colorful mosaic. Now, if I am doing a task that may take awhile, I can schedule a block of time and simply block that time off on my calendar with the appropriate color and an event title such as Sermon Prep. But I try to keep a hard line between tasks and calendar items. I do not use this approach much (except for Deep Work) because if something unexpected occurs, you have to shuffle everything on your calendar. I used to do this thinking it made me more organized. However, I have found the white space on the calendar much more beneficial. Again, I am busier than I have ever been, but by including "less" on my calendar I have more freedom to accomplish my daily tasks and goals when I want to/can throughout the day.
So, that is it. A calendar is a calendar. But we can be strategic in how we use it. My comments here may not be exactly right for everyone, but after much trial and error I have found my current approach to be best for me (I did use to link ToDoist to my calendar, but found it overbearing - remember, I like a simple calendar! And remember the general premise of whitespace I mentioned several weeks ago, here.).
And with the coverage of the calendar, I have come to the virtual end of this series. Next week, I will conclude the series and make an announcement regarding the new home of this blog. Until then, be productive, but more importantly, be effective!

NAGA CITY – The administration ticket will hold a grand rally here in Bicol, considered bailiwick of Liberal Party vice presidential candidate Leni Robredo.
The Bicol leg starts with the full force of Daang Matuwid coalition attending an event in Ragay town in Camarines Sur this morning.
It will be followed by a motorcade in Iriga City where another miting de avance is expected to be held. Iriga City is the hometown of another LP senatorial candidate, former Justice Secretary Leila de Lima.
After the Iriga City event, another motorcade will be held towards Naga City for a grand rally in the evening.
Naga City, on the other hand, is the hometown of Robredo whose husband, the late Jesse, served as mayor here for a long time before he was appointed as secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Meanwhile, Roxas said all the presidential bets have the obligation to disclose the status of their health condition to the public.
"I am in favor of making public our health conditions. We have to be transparent to the people who will eventually decide whether or not we are fit to hold public office," said Roxas.
Reports have said that some of the candidates are suffering from various diseases but would not disclose them to the public for fear of losing the elections.

GRIEG Songs
Anne Sofie von Otter's Grieg recital for DG (6/93R) did much to encourage singers outside Scandinavia to bring back to the concert platform – and the public again to listen to – songs which their great-grandparents knew well but their parents had almost forgotten. Now another front-ranking Swedish mezzo-soprano has recorded core components of the Grieg song repertoire. Like her compatriot, Katarina Karnéus includes the Op 67 "Mountain Maid" cycle, the Ibsen settings, the six German lyrics of Op 48 and the early Hans Christian Andersen "Melodies of the Heart", adding, suitably, the less well known "The Princess" to words by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.
Compare Karnéus, von Otter and Kirsten Flagstad (one of at least three recordings) in Haugtussa. Karnéus and Julius Drake are all over the imagery, scenery and sexuality of Garborg's verse novel in thrilling and well worked detail. Flagstad may appear at first hearing to be limiting herself to heroic declamation and her pianist (regular collaborator Edwin McArthur) just mapping out the written notes, but her sheer joy in singing her own language, and the subtlety of her pointing of the text (a half-smile, a raised eyebrow) and cunning use of her large voice make their own points. Von Otter has something of both sides – a weightier tone and more reserve than Karnéus but a much wider colour range than Flagstad chooses to deploy – and Bengt Forsberg is a magician in these accompaniments.
Elsewhere the Karnéus performances are good and lively in the Scandinavian lyrics (a passionate "Jeg elsker dig", a good range of moods in the Ibsen settings), more formal in the German settings. All Saints Church in Finchley, north London, sounds especially resonant here, not everywhere an advantage in such text-oriented settings. Lots to enjoy and celebrate then, but don't ignore the competition.

Se7en is a collection of seven random stories, narrations or conversations as you may like to call them (or whatever suits you or the entire world). They are conversations between the known and the unknown, the real and the surreal, the living and the dead.
1. double helical
human kind can not gain anything without first giving something in return. in order to obtain, something of equal value must be lost. that is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.
Each of them may or may not be followed or preceded by a song of their own. All opinions, expressed if any, are fictitious and are not really meant to harm anyone's psychology. That is beyond the scope of the rubbish here..
There is no discounting. There is no return. No, i wouldn't want it that way.
They are everywhere i go. They are always in my head. They feel like a burden i can never rid myself of.They are the we of me..
It wouldn't have happened. It wasn't likely to happen, but it did and when it did, it had waited for 2 years before either of them could come together in what seemed to take forever, but never impossible; it happened. It was a wait and quite a long one too and now they sat across a table in a restaurant with their faces facing each other and their souls lingering somewhere. He pretended that it didn't bother him. They were dressed up strangely or as they liked to believe about each other, but they didn't stand out too much. There were so many people around that he noticed while she didn't. He was preoccupied while she wasn't..or maybe she was and none of us knew about it. She smiled a lot and he made sure that she did for he had learnt to pass slow moments with beautiful smiles and ridiculous behaviour of which he wasn't proud at all, anymore. So, he was easy going. He cracked a few jokes to make the conversation easy for it was well known to him both by experience and the company he kept that the life of the conversation was directly proportional to the amount of time he invested in it – interest level had nothing to do with it and the other party's interest was a variable factor. Yet they struck some sort of a lost chord and played it on and he intended to keep doing so as long as it didn't lose the tune. It was their first meeting and maybe their last one too.
He liked her a lot or used to and she liked him a lot or used to, but they liked each other's company before they got bored. The ice-cream had melted already not that it was any great, but it wasn't his decision entirely. It was her decision. He made her take it.
There was no self-obsession. There was no self-indulgence. They were running out of conversation. He was about to for sure, but it was time to leave already.
They sat across each other, talked about their past, present but no future. They didn't have one. He didn't carve one out.
They sat facing each other and yet they didn't. It was the first and maybe the last time it would really happen.
And they left each other in their own heads with their bodies facing every other thing but them.

Rangamati, within the district of Rangamati, is the capital of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in south-eastern Bangladesh. It is known as the 'Lake City of Bangladesh' as it is situated on the bank of Kaptai Lake, which is the largest man made lake in Bangladesh. The total population of the district of Rangamati is around 500,000 with around half of the population being tribal.
Due to its scenic beauty Rangamati is a prime Bangladeshi tourist attraction. One of Rangamati's most iconic attractions is the Hanging Bridge, which is a low suspension, 335 feet long bridge over the Kaptai Lake
If you are planning on visiting Rangamati, the best time to do so is during October to February as the temperature remains cool and rainfall is infrequent. During the monsoon season, the forests burst with life, the rivers extend and waterfalls begin to appear.
Rangamati and the wider regions also have a diverse range of fauna native to the area, including primates like the capped langurs, hoolocks, rhesus macaques and gibbons, as well as larger mammals such as tigers, Asian elephants, otters, wild boars and Indian muntjacs. Located 60 miles North-East of Rangamati town is the 'Pablakhali Wildlife Sanctuary' which is open to visitors allowing them to explore the region's wildlife through jungle and bird safaris.
The tribal, indigenous peoples of Rangamati are collectively known as the Jumma people. The Jumma people are ethnically, culturally and linguistically different from the rest of the population of Bangladesh and have a rich agricultural history with most of their population reliant on the industry of farming. They practice a form of nomadic farming called 'shifting cultivation', where they grow food in small parts of their territory and then move on to another area and allowing the land to recover.
One of the main attractions in Rangamati town is the 'Tribal Cultural Museum', which offers an insight into the history and cultural traditions of the region's indigenous peoples. Visitors can view tribal dresses, ornaments, musical instruments, coins and handicrafts at the museum.
Since the Bangladeshi EPB (Export Promotion Bureau) launched its 'one district, one product' initiative, Rangamati has a growing homespun textile industry.

PlayCenter Home
Even though PlayCenter Home is promoted as a useful piece of software that can help to access thousands of free online games, including "action, board games, shooting, sports, puzzle, dress-up, and more," we cannot confirm that it is one of those Google Chrome extensions you should let stay active on your computer. No, it is not a harmful malicious application, but it has been categorized as a potentially unwanted program, which means that it is not perfect. If you do not know much about the installation of this extension, and, on top of that, you have not found it very useful or simply do not play any online games, you should delete PlayCenter Home without further consideration. Even though it makes modifications on users' computers when it is installed on them, it is still an ordinary add-on, so we are sure it will not be hard to remove it. If you are going to remove the browser extension from Google Chrome for the first time, you should first read this article and then use the manual removal guide specialists at pcthreat.com have prepared for users – it is located right below this report.
If you install PlayCenter Home directly from the Chrome Web Store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/playcenter-home/kamdefopmcpnkpomihddfnelophmppej) or get it by clicking on a pop-up promoting it, you will find your browser's settings altered. Specifically speaking, your homepage will be changed. The page this extension sets looks like an ordinary search provider, but, unfortunately, we cannot tell you that it is one of the legitimate search tools. Research has shown that all the searches you perform using this search tool promoted by the PlayCenter Home extension are redirected straight to http://play.eanswers.com/. Then, users are provided with Yahoo! search results. Since search queries are redirected to the third-party domain first, the chances are high that users will see the modified search results. We do not say that all the search results displayed to users will be modified, but we are sure they will be opened for them and they will click on them sooner or later. These search results do not differ much from the rest of the search results, but you should ignore them all if you find them on the search results page and manage to recognize them because they might take you to dubious pages against your will. Also, it is very likely that your search queries and other details about your interests and/or activities will be recorded too if you perform web searches with it.
There are 179 992 users who have installed PlayCenter Home from the Chrome Web Store and this number is still growing, so there is no doubt that some users get it directly from its official source. Unfortunately, it seems that not all of them install this extension on their computers voluntarily. Some users do not know anything about its installation, which suggests that other methods might be used to promote it too. According to our specialists, users might also install this piece of software by accidentally clicking on pop-up advertisements promoting it. Also, they say that it might be distributed in software bundles. Potentially unwanted programs travel together with other applications (usually freeware and shareware) in these bundles, which is why users do not notice how and when they enter their computers. We have to admit that it is not always a piece of cake to prevent undesirable applications from entering the system because they are often very sneaky. Of course, there is still a way to ensure the system's protection – a powerful antimalware tool should not allow untrustworthy software to enter your system. Keep in mind that malicious software might pretend to be powerful security software too, so do not install the first antimalware scanner you find when surfing the web.
If you are not happy about the presence of PlayCenter Home, you can remove it at any time. If you are looking for a quick way to make it gone, you should use an antimalware tool, but we do not think that it will be very difficult to erase this extension manually too because it can be deleted like an ordinary browser extension – through the add-ons manager. Also, you can use our step-by-step manual removal instructions if you need some help.

What I learned during my visit to La Esperanza, Honduras
The two-lane road to La Esperanza winds up and down several lush, cloud-topped mountains, with beautiful views of the valleys below. After about an hour, the road begins descending into one of those valleys, where the town of La Esperanza sits. As we drove through town, we passed markets full of colorful fruit; pineapples, bananas, and papayas sat stacked high on wooden tables. It is in this lovely town that Berta Caceres was shot dead four months ago.
I came to La Esperanza to meet with her family and her fellow human rights defenders. I came to show that all of Oxfam was shocked and saddened by her murder and that we stood alongside them in solidarity, but most importantly, I came to hear their voices, experiences, and stories first-hand.
Berta's family welcomed my colleagues and me into their home, where they kindly offered strawberry juice and sweet pastries. We sat around in a circle, surrounded by photos and banners bearing Berta's likeness, and heard from her mother, her brother, her daughters, and others. The Goldman Prize which she'd won last year sat on a small table, near a picture of her speaking at the award ceremony.
Her family spoke with pride about their mother's work and legacy. Berta co-founded and led COPINH, an organization of Indigenous rights defenders, and led the opposition against the construction of a dam that could evict communities and destroy land sacred to her Lenca people. The developers began construction without ever consulting with the Lenca community, in violation of international agreements. It should never have been approved, and so it must be immediately cancelled, her family says.
Berta's oldest daughter, Olivia, said that Berta's fight wasn't just about the Lenca in Honduras — defenders standing up for the rights of Indigenous groups, women, and minorities face the same risks all over the world. Dams and other development projects like the one Berta fought are "projects of death," Oliva said, because they destroy lives and communities. Any project must begin with the free, prior, and informed consent of the people who might be affected.
Their sadness and sorrow was heavy as well. Berta's brother, Gustavo asked, "When will the killings end?" This was not the first time their community had been threatened. Five other COPINH activists have been killed in the past, and later in the evening, we heard another activist, Lesbia Yaneth Urquia, had been murdered in northern Honduras that day. Berta's mother, Austra Berta, her voice breaking with emotion, told me, "My tears are my plea to end the impunity in my country."
The Honduran government passed a law last year meant to protect human rights defenders, journalists, and other activists, but from what I heard, the law hasn't been properly implemented. Berta's family don't want any other family to go through the loss and sadness they have experienced; it is important to them that this law be strongly enforced.
Justice in the case of Berta's murder would also go a long way towards ending the culture of impunity. Honduran authorities have made several arrests in connection with her murder, but given the pitiful conviction rate in the country, they are understandably mistrustful. Therefore, they insist that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights launches an independent investigation.
While no arrests have been made regarding the "intellectual authors" of Berta's murder, authorities insist their investigation is not over and they continue to look for the people who ordered her assassination.
After saying goodbye to Berta's family, we sat down with several members of COPINH and heard about their experiences and their struggle. I was struck by the breadth and depth of their work. Thomas, who took over the leadership of COPINH after Berta's death, repeatedly stressed that COPINH doesn't just oppose development plans, but instead, proposes alternatives and ways of working that respect the rights and self-determination of Indigenous and rural communities.
For example, COPINH is looking into how other alternative and renewable sources of energy could better power their communities, without destroying large swaths of land like hydroelectric dams do. It is hard to overstate just how important the land is to these communities — they depend on it for their food, water, and their livelihoods. As one woman told me, "Rivers must flow, just as the blood in our veins flows."
Thomas and others showed me their headquarters, just outside La Esperanza. The walls of Utopia, as they call it, are all decorated with lyrical poetry, striking murals, inspirational quotations, and other works of art depicting farmers, workers, Indigenous communities, and other downtrodden people. The decorations transform what would have been an otherwise ordinary building into one charged with energy and life.
There are bedrooms that can serve as a safe space for women fleeing violence, meeting rooms where they gather and host training and classes. They grow and tend to corn and other crops in a field outside. COPINH is fiercely independent — they will not allow themselves to be bought out or co-opted.
"Bertita left us a path, and we're now following it," one of the defenders told me. The path to social justice will be steep and full of challenges for Berta's family and for the members of COPINH, but Oxfam and I are proud to walk this path alongside them.
This post was written by Winnie Byanyima, Oxfam International's Executive Director.
Please join the petition calling for Justice for Berta and Lesbia.

An average kitchen should have a hand mixer on its counter. This is most especially true if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen baking and trying out new recipes.
If you often whip up treats such as cakes, cookies, bread, and others, read on. Below are some helpful tips in shopping for the best hand-held mixing tool for your kitchen.
There are recipes which require lengthy mixing time. That's why it's important to pick one which is light enough to be used comfortably. Hold the mixer with your dominant hand for about 3 minutes and check if it still feels fine for you. Something that's too heavy will only prevent you from using it properly each and every time.
Another reason for the need to hold it is to check if the handle is good enough for you. Steer clear of a model whose handle runs parallel to the beaters. Such is likely to strain your hands and wrist, making your mixing task difficult. Instead, go for a model whose handle is angled slightly towards the beaters.
Also Read:-
2.Speed of the Mixer Grinder
Go for something with 3 to 6 speeds only, as all you'll basically need are slow, medium and fast settings.
There are models which come with a lot of speed settings. While it's nice to have a lot of speeds to choose from, they're not at all that necessary. Look for something with a slow start speed, to keep your ingredients from splattering.
3.Easy to Clean
A quick cleanup is essential, most especially if you got a hectic schedule. Stay away from a model whose beaters feature old-fashioned center posts.
That's because of they're harder to clean. Also, a control panel with the digital touchpad is much better than customary buttons. This way, no ingredient is likely to get stuck in-between buttons.
Last but not least, opt for a hand mixer from a reputable manufacturer. However, it doesn't mean you should go for the most expensive one you can find. Choose one that's simple to operate, with just the right features, powerful wattage, and superb warranty. Think of it as a good investment, which should be your kitchen assistant for many years

Hallington's Rosalind Canter, on only her second appearance at the world-famous Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials last weekend, put in an impressive performance to finish as the top Brit in fifth place.
Riding her huge striding horse, Allstar B, she finished close behind four of the best riders in the world, Andrew Nicholson (the eventual winner on Nereo), Rolex Grand Slam Winner, Michael Jung in second, and New Zealand heavyweights, Tim Price and Mark Todd (respectively, in third and fourth).
Lying in sixth place going in the final phase of showjumping, Ros put in a cool headed clear and moved up a place, after Germany's Ingrid Klimke had a nightmare showjumping round.
This year's Badminton result made up for a disappointing debut last year when Ros only completed the dressage phase after the horse was found to have a slight heart fibrillation.
"I couldn't be any happier," Ros said of her result. "Alby is really consistent and has been on cracking form this year and we've been gearing up for good result.
"It all came together on the day."
Ros had secured her overnight position on the leaderboard following one of the fastest cross country clears on Saturday, finishing just outside the time.
Only two riders from the whole field finished inside the time round what was one of the toughest Badminton courses for many years, which only 60 per cent of competitors completed.
It was a cross country result that was to move her up from equal 20 th after dressage.
"We were prepared for a bit of a roller coaster, as it was such a tough course," she added.
"He felt absolutely amazing going round the cross country.
"We are still relatively inexperienced at this level but he gained confidence all the time and was foot perfect. He just runs and jumps and is such a fantastic cross country horse."

Geelong Performing Arts Centre will incubate two exciting new arts projects as part of a bold development initiative to grow the region's creative capability.
Late last year the arts centre called for expressions of interest from performance makers with "daring and ambitious" new ideas, with a view to catapulting them from concept to development and ultimately, a public performance.
Two projects - a dance theatre piece and a collaborative theatre performance - have been selected to receive $10,000 of cash and in-kind support in areas such as production, venue access, box office, ticketing and marketing.
Performance makers Kerensa Diball and Yuhui Ng-Rodriguez will work with Geelong based writer and director Chi Vu on Geelong Sweats, a socially engaged performance work exploring the gym culture and featuring actual gym goers from Geelong's northern suburbs.
Local company Blink Dance Theatre will develop Memory House, a large-scale contemporary dance piece investigating the connection between memories, the perception of time and complex repeating patterns found in the human psyche, both individually and collectively.
Geelong Performing Arts Centre announced that it would support these two amazing projects at a gathering of the region's arts community this week coinciding with the staging of Mother's Ruin: a Cabaret About Gin.
Chief Executive Officer Joel McGuinness says "there's never been a more exciting time for emerging artists in the region as the centre moves closer to completion of its $38.5 million Ryrie Street redevelopment".
"Supporting local artists in the development of new work along with creative collaborations and community-focused programming will all play key roles in the revitalised centre," he said.
"The new Geelong Performing Arts Centre will not only be the home of great shows but will also be a thriving work and play space for artists exploring new ideas and building new collaborative relationships. For artists, this is likely to be a once-in-a-generation opportunity."
The current redevelopment - due for completion in the second half of 2019 - will include a striking new entrance, architectural foyer and bar areas, improved theatre accessibility, new rehearsal and dance studios, along with a Creative Industries floor that will become a home for emerging artists, arts businesses, students, industry professionals and regional talent and integral in the arts centre's ambition in providing pathways for our local artists.
In addition to the two local partnerships announced this week, the centre will present two local established works in May 2019 under its new programming umbrella: Stardust / The Mission starring multi-award winning ABC presenter and performer Joel Carnegie and Tom Molyneux; and Enter Ophelia, a gothic black comedy from Essential Theatre and Three Birds Theatre.

The second quarter of the nineteenth century was dominated by reform movements: the Second Great Awakening, abolition, women's suffrage, utopian societies, free public schools, and reforms of prisons, hospitals, and mental institutions. All strived to fix the social problems that dogged the new nation. Many of these reformers identified alcoholism as the major domestic problem of the United States. In the 1830's, alcohol consumption in the United States was the highest it has ever been: an annual average of seven gallons per person, as compared to two gallons now. A huge influx of German and Irish immigrants brought over their "corner pub" culture, thus making the threat of alcohol on society literally more visible. Led mostly by women, the temperance movement blamed alcohol for most of the family problems: poverty, domestic violence, child abuse, unemployment, and disease.
The Bottle is a series of eight illustrated panels that show the damages ravaged on a family by alcohol. Originally published in England in 1847 by George Cruikshank, The Bottle became wildly popular, selling more than 100,000 copies in its first few days and inspiring plays in eight London theaters at the same time. The Bottle was exported to the United States, where, lacking a copyright, it was reproduced by a number of publishers. The first plate shows a prosperous and happy family where "The Bottle is brought out for the first time: the husband induces his wife 'Just to take a drop." The following plates show the deleterious effects of alcohol: the father loses his job, they sell their belongings, the baby dies, the children beg in the street. Plate 6 shows the same family in the same room, but the drunken father is attacking his wife, while his children try to restrain him and a concerned neighbor bursts in. The last two panels show that the husband has killed his wife, gone insane, and landed in jail, with his children left on their own "to Vice and to the Streets." on the streets. The success of The Bottle led Cruikshank to publish a sequel The Drunkard's Children, which follows the boy and girl through a life of dancing, gambling, dissipation, crime, imprisonment, and suicide. Inspired by these etchings and encouraged by the rise of anti-alcohol tracts and lectures, Americans jumped on the temperance bandwagon. The Civil War swept these concerns to the side, and by the 1880's the temperance movement consumed the nation, leading many counties and states to vote to ban alcohol.

Arthur Robert Ashe was an African American tennis player and human rights activist who overcame adversity and discrimination to become one of the greatest tennis players in American History. Ashe was born on July 10, 1943 in Richmond, Virginia. Ashe grew up in a segregated community but was able to learn to play tennis from coaches in both Richmond and Lynchburg, Virginia. Although he was banned from competing in many elite tennis competitions that were open to whites only, his talent did not go unseen. After graduating first from his high school class, Ashe was offered a scholarship to play tennis in California at UCLA. Ashe soared in academics and athletics. During his time at UCLA he helped his team finish first in the nation. He gained recognition and was featured in Sports Illustrated as a face in the crowd. After receiving a business degree from UCLA Ashe joined the U.S Army and served for 2 years while still competing in professional tennis competitions.
Ashe was clear about his opposition to apartheid in South Africa. Because of this, when he applied for a visa to play in the 1969 South African Open his visa was initially denied. This only encouraged him to use his position to become vocal and was a longtime opponent of apartheid. In 1973 Ashe was granted a visa to travel and play in the South African open where he won the title in doubles and finished second in the singles division.
Towards the end of his career Ashe suffered from heart problems, because of which he decided to retire from tennis with a career record of 818 wins to 260 losses and fifty-one titles. Following his retirement Ashe focused his efforts to his humanitarian work. His heart problems ultimately made him undergo multiple surgeries. During his second surgery, Ashe contracted the HIV virus from a blood transfusion. While he kept this information private he decided to share this information publicly before USA today ran a story on him. Following this announcement Ashe made many efforts for the research and education of HIV/AIDS. His legacy includes Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health and the Arthur Ashe Program in AIDS Care. Ashe died on February 6, 1993. Today a monument is dedicated to him in Richmond, Virginia on Historic Monument Avenue.

In April of 1900, the Seaboard Air Line Railway was chartered, consolidating several railroads into a system with twenty-six hundred miles of track from Virginia to Florida. It also offered mail service as far north as New York over other railroad companies' tracks. The main line of the Seaboard ran from Richmond via Raleigh, North Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia to Jacksonville, Florida. From Jacksonville, Seaboard rails continued to tourist destinations such as Tampa, St. Petersburg, West Palm Beach, and Miami. The company was headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, until 1958, when its main offices were relocated to Richmond, Virginia.
The railway also had a newspaper devoted to it - S.A.L. Magundi (Portsmouth, Va.).

By the early 1870s, bicycles and tricycles using wire-spoked wheels were common, particularly in England. James Starley of Coventry introduced the Ariel in 1871, and, with modifications, the design gained popularity and later became known as an "Ordinary" in the 1890s. Albert A. Pope became the first American bicycle manufacturer under the trade name "Columbia" in Connecticut in 1878.By 1899, few automobiles had been built, horses and carriages were expensive to maintain in crowded cities, and city public transportation was less than efficient in most cases. The bicycle met the need for inexpensive individual transportation, and resulted in a new industry and social change in the United States. Additionally, the bicycle affected the American perception of the automobile and its introduction into the larger American society. The bicycle proved the value of many materials and parts that were later part of the automobile industry. It also encouraged the concept of, and desire for, personalized travel.

The NOPE Jar and Anne of Green YES PLEASE
(Mainly for myself since it is probably yawn worthy to anyone other than me and my sister...)
I started The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath which I mentioned in the last post and I have to say, I wasn't into it. I was trying and trying to push through for the sake of crossing a book off my list but not. worth. it.
I then was trying to remember where the recommendation had come from and realized it was from a 20 books to read if you are in your 20's and a girl and blah blah blah... quick synopsis: girl goes off to college and starts to lose her mind and it all goes down hill from there. I am in no way saying that mental health is not an important topic to be explored or educated in, but it was not really the means to do that for me. It was a downer and just kind of plain weird. SO, what to read now? The total opposite: Anne of Green Gables.
I'm biting the (uplifting and fun) bullet! I really owe this to one of my best friends who is a die hard Anne of Green Gables fan...I attended her bridal shower the other weekend and it was oozing with turn of the century class! We had tea and raspberry cordial and it was Anne themed. So fitting for my beautiful friend! And needless to say it inspired me to pick up my copy and read away! And so far I am LOVING it! I feel like a kid, but really, now that I am a mother of a little girl I feel it is my duty. Especially since I am Canadian and have a little Ann of my own. My Ann without an E.

This week we performed our first street drama in Jalouszie neighborhood of Petion-Ville. The hillside neighborhood is home to some 200,000 people with a high level of sexual violence. The neighborhood has no clinic and relies on a few resident nurses and midwives to provide health services for residents. The pharmacy belonging to FASA member Fleurantin Marie Enise acts as one central point for health services where she and a few local nurses provide residents with advice and non-prescription drugs. There is only one narrow road running through Jalouzi with market traders parked on either side. The small patch of concrete outside the pharmacy therefore provided us with a small space in which to perform our play and allow for space for an audience to watch.
Prior to the play we made announcements and members of FASA and SOPU Fanm Pou Fanm, sang and danced to encourage passers by to stay and watch the play. Altogether we counted 38 people at various times. We had hoped for more but the location was a difficult one. The play lasted about 15 minutes and centered on the issue of Restavek children who come from poor homes usually in the countryside to work for middle and upper class Haitians. There is a history of physical, psychological and sexual abuse of Restevek children which was highlighted in the play. After the play there were some more songs around VAW and we were pleased that we did have questions from the audience.
The event lasted about 90 minutes and we want to congratulate all the participants, including Jalouzi residents for bringing the play together and the performance. We hope as time goes by we will improve but this was an excellent beginning.
Working on the princeip of "you don't have to be a slave in order to eat, if you are hungry you should be able to eat" [Selma James] we have made it a priority to feed ourselves, to nourish our spirits and bodies. Many of the students are food insecure and even where there is daily food it is invariably solely carbohydrates. We therefore choose to provide a more balanced diet which includes protein and carbohydrates other than rice such as sweet potato, yam and plantains. We also believe it is important to feed those who work with us and help make the project a success such as our chauffeurs and school guardians.
Next Saturday we will perform in the Bobin area of Puggy Ville also in Petion-Ville.

Congressman Chris Collins announced that he would be co-sponsoring the Recognizing America's Children Act. The RAC Act is one of multiple congressional bills that was proposed in reaction to President Donald Trump's decision to revoke the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
The RAC Act would provide Dreamers with a pathway toward legal residency, according to a phone interview with Collins' Communications Director Sarah Minkel. Although it would address some undocumented residents, the RAC Act would not be a comprehensive immigration plan, according to Minkel.
"People have to be enrolled in school, serving in the Armed Forces, or have a full-time job [in order to qualify for conditional status]," Minkel said. "Then they'll be able to reapply for another five-year status, which then could lead to permanent legalization as long as they meet those standards."
The standards also include maintaining a clean criminal record.
International relations major sophomore Alex Findeis expressed concern at what he saw as another temporary measure.
"The whole DACA program to begin with was fairly reactionary," Findeis said. "It was temporary, it was circumnavigating Congress, and it really didn't do enough. It was certainly helpful for 800,000 people, but any immigration policy that acts within the nation state system is inevitably going to have conflict within itself."
President of Geneseo College Republicans junior Josh Espinosa was happy to see the issue of constitutionality addressed. Espinosa argued that much of Republican opposition to DACA was due to the perception that it was an instance of presidential overreach. Espinosa also noted that he was worried about the bill's lasting impact.
"This policy is only good as long as the current border regulations are enforced as they should be," Espinosa said. "You cannot have people crossing into the country undocumented and not being held accountable."
Communication and women and gender studies double major sophomore Clara Gallagher expressed deep concern about the bill. Gallagher was one of several organizers of the Open Conversation: DACA on Tuesday Oct. 3, which examined the perspectives of undocumented people in the local area. The event was partly organized in response to Collins' bill, according to Gallagher.
"All of these bills are so dehumanizing and turning these people into villains, and that's the biggest issue in my opinion," Gallagher said. "This is their home, they don't know anywhere else, and they shouldn't have to pay for their parents' decisions."
International relations and geography double major junior Drew Arnum was disappointed in how the college administration responded to Trump's termination of DACA. President Denise Battles was invited to the Open Conversation: DACA event multiple times and organizers were dissatisfied with her absence, according to Arnum.
"I would also argue that many organizers of this event, as well as many DACA recipients on campus, would agree that Battles' statement to the community, being her email, was insufficient as support," Arnum said. "She did not offer the solidarity that we need as a campus at this moment."
Despite these concerns, Minkel argued that Congressman Collins' stance was not too far from students like Gallagher.
"The Congressman doesn't believe that they [DACA recipients] have done anything wrong here," Minkel said. "They were brought into this country illegally by their parents at no fault of their own. It's the Congressman's priority to make sure that these children who are contributing to society, that have known no other home, are going to be taken care of."u

Congratulations. You've written your book. Edited your book. Designed your book beautifully in InDesign. Now there is just one final hurdle! Exporting this damn thing into a beautiful PDF that your printer can work with.
Thanks to Kevin Hall for letting me use his design as an example and inspiration. You can check Kevin out here or find his book across NZ in bookstores, or worldwide on Amazon here.
Firstly, here is what a cover should look like! There are trim marks showing where we will cut, and images extending past the cutlines. Oh and for the people who are asking you get the spine marks by creating a 3 page spread.
To export PDFs from InDesign you go: 'File' -> 'Export' … Or 'File' -> 'Adobe PDF Presets' -> 'select the correct option'. If you would like to have 'BookPrint – Text' and 'BookPrint – Cover' as options. Download the job.options files here.
To install these JobOptions files, please download them. Then click 'File' -> 'Adobe PDF Presets' -> 'Define'
Select 'Load' -> find your files and select them. Select 'Done'. You will now find the BookPrint preset available in InDesign. There are two to install – one for Texts and one for Covers.
The only times you should need to alter them are when exporting hardcover cover PDFs – this is explained further down the post.
Here is what we recommend when exporting PDFs (note if you are using our JobOptions files these are all preselected).
Images look good at 300dpi and best at 600dpi
Line drawings and text should be CMYK vector art
Leave RGB images with their source colour profile (i.e. do not convert to CMYK)
Embed all fonts
Cover file
single spread (back, spine, front)
trim marks
4mm of bleed (soft cover)
12mm of bleed (hard cover)
4mm offset (soft cover)
12mm offset (hardcover)
Text file
single pages (no spreads)
4mm of bleed
No trim marks required
Way too much information about trim marks – for the curious.
If your whole book is colour or black, your welcome to include trim marks. If you have a mixture of black and colour printing please do not include trim marks. Trim marks are created using registration black (100% C, M, Y & K) this means that our RIP and digital press sees these as colour pages and we then need to manually override which pages print black versus colour. If you want to check if your pages are properly black versus CMYK gray (which is actually colour) open them in Adobe Acrobat, open the 'Print Production' tools, and open 'Output Preview'. In this dialog box you can turn off the black ink. On black printing pages when this is turned off there should be an entirely blank page.
Here are three screenshots showing you where these options are in the export dialog boxes.
But before exporting, there are a few things to check you understand.
Bleed. Ensure your book has correct bleed. When books are created they are printed with a number of pages on a larger sheet, and then cut down to size. When doing this we need to have an allowance of several millimetres because of variances and tolerances of the printer, folder, guillotine and binder.
Practically for you – you need to produce a PDF file that is larger than your final job. Different companies prefer different sizes ranging from 2.5 to 5mm – we like having 4mm.
InDesign documents that are created with bleed (you can add this at any time in 'Document Setup') will have a handy red bleed line. Every image, line or colour that you want to print flush with the edge of the page needs to extend beyond the white InDesign page, onto the grey background area and all the way to this bleed line. In the below example you can see that the coloured boxed and rabbit image all extend to or past the red bleed line.
In the below example you can see that the red box stops at the page instead of at the red bleed line – this is WRONG.
If the above wrong example is exported it will look like the below PDF. See there will be no red bleeding beyond the cutlines indicated by the trim marks.
Another wrong example – if you have no offset your crop marks will be right on the corner of the artwork and in the way of the bleed. If it is printed like this you will have a millimetre or so of black trim marks left on the corners of your book covers.
Well there you have it folks – make beautiful functional PDFs.
Quick recap: high resolution images, 4mm of bleed, trim marks, spreads for covers, pages for text.
Any design questions get in touch, or if you would like us to help with cover design check out the options.

When she is bad she is horrid, just like the little girl with the curl. She resists napping even though she is smart enough to know a good nap would make her feel better.
As a mom, I read the Mother Goose rhymes with certain personalizations. Once you do that, you have to use the same personalizations every single time you read the rhyme. Who knows how "smack dab" became part of the reading? It must be pronounced like a hissing/chomping reptile with a backhand to the forehead:
There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Smack DAB in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was good
She was very good
And when she was bad she was horrid.
Just what does "smack dab" mean?
In essence, the phrase means "slapped precisely in the center." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, smack-dab showed up in print in 1892: "He hit him smack dab in the mouth" [Dialect Notes I, 232].
The "at" symbol, @, always looks to me like the curl smack dab in the middle of a forehead. The chili is looking mighty fine simmering on the stove. Not a bit like a tantrum...

How To Select Interesting Persuasive Essay Topics For 9th Year Students
Persuasive essays are often given to 9th year students as the most common writing assignments. To prepare a strong paper, students have to demonstrate their analytical, persuasive, and writing skills. You need to select a topic about which you have your own opinion and want to build an argument to persuade the audience to accept it. Remember that you should consider your topic idea carefully, so it'll be easier for you to write your essay.
You should keep several things in mind when you choose a topic for your essay, including the following:
Choose something that interests you.
Spend some time thinking about subjects that interest you. Consider something you like or dislike that affects your life. For instance, you can write about sports that you're doing to persuade the readers that exercising is good for their health and well-being. It's also a good idea to select a topic related to the environment. For example, you can build an argument about whether recycling should be mandatory in every country. Remember that you'll write with more conviction if you select an interesting subject.
Think about ideas related to technology and innovation.
Usually, technology is a great source of topics for persuasive essays for 9th year students. Technology related topics include a wide variety of different subjects. You can write about growing addiction to social networks, relationship between teenage violence and video games, or an influence of the Internet on how people learn today. You can look around, find a technology that you use every day, and argue why this is the best available option.
Write about issues that you face in school.
Students often write persuasive essays about issues related to education, learning, and schools. For example, you can argue that school lunches should be healthier, classes should start earlier in the day, or students shouldn't be required to wear uniforms. It's also a good idea to write about school fees, sports scholarships, and student loans. Choose controversial topics, so you'll be able to build a strong argument and pick interesting details to support your position.
Watch the news, read a newspaper, or search on the Web.
Some teachers ask 9th year students to consider ideas related to current events. Since there are many controversial problems, you can easily find a topic to debate on. Pay attention to social issues, such as illegal immigration, a new law, or environmental initiatives of the government. The choice of ideas is vast. You can also compose a paper about religious conflicts, same-sex marriage, or gun control initiatives.

What is Earthbound about?
>>> Bound by fate, torn apart by true love <<<
Tavia Michaels is the sole survivor of a plane crash. Grief-stricken and alone, she's having strange visions of a boy she's never met. As her visions intensify, Tavia wonders, was the plane crash really an accident? Or is she part of something bigger than she ever imagined?
The only person she can talk to is Benson, her best friend, the guy who's somehow always by her side. But secretly she longs to confide in the boy who haunts her dreams …
A heart-stopping romance, a centuries-long conspiracy, and a love triangle you've never seen before.
Source of blurb: back cover of book
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance, Mystery
Series: Earthbound Series (Book 1)
Other series by Aprilynne Pike: Glitter Duology, The Wings Series, The Charlotte Westing Chronicles
My Thoughts:
This is the first Aprilynne Pike book that I read, and I must say I was blown away by her great writing. This lady has some mad skills! Earthbound had everything I like: mystery, plot twists, steamy romance and witty dialogue.
Unfortunately, some synopses of this book give away waaay too much and will spoil the story for you. That's why I'm so thankful I stumbled across this book in the library and didn't know anything about it except for what they told me in the blurb on the back of the book. Otherwise, I would have missed out on a great mystery. The less you know about Earthbound the better so I'm going to keep this review short and sweet.
I must say that I had my doubts at the beginning of the book because the plot seemed a bit grim. I only got really engrossed from about the end of chapter two, I think, but it was all uphill after that. I liked each chapter more than the last. So, if you pick up the book and you can't understand why I was raving about it, I hope you'll stick it out a bit longer. One thing Pike does really well in this book is that the reader is kept in the dark along with the main character, Tavia, so that you find out things at the same time as her. The plot unfolds at a good, steady pace so I never felt bored while waiting for Tavia to find out something new as she tries to piece together the mystery.
There is a love triangle in this book but it is not your typical love triangle. I personally like love triangles as long as they are done well, and this one is.
Happy Reading!

Shiraga Kazuo painting sold for over 1.7 million euro at Sotheby's Hong Kong
On 5 and 6 October the Modern and Contemporary Asian art and the Contemporary Asian art auctions (respectively) were held at Sotheby's Hong Kong. The majority of the Japanese artists sold were established names such Shiraga Kazuo (1924-2008), Kusama Yayoi (b. 1929), Murakami Takashi, Nara Yoshitomo and Nawa Kohei.
Shiraga Kazuo's abstract foot painting Saigō (lot nr. 1051, dated 2000) sold for over 1.7 million euro at the 5 October auction.
In the 6 October auction again work from Kusama Yayoi was offered for auction, eight lots in total. All of them were sold and the pumpkin paintings among them realized prices that were twice the high estimate (selling for circa 83.000 euro and 61.000 euro). Kusama's other works fetched prices that were more or less in between the low and high estimates.
There were unsold art works too. For example, Takano Aya's two panel screen Noshi and megu fly in the sky (lot nr. 880 ) did not find a new owner. It was estimated at 71.903-154.077 euro.
For full sales results and descriptions of the art works listed above, see the Sotheby's website under auction results.
More Japanese art will be coming up for auction in the next weeks through various auctions at Christies and Bonhams, amongst others during Asian Art in London which will take place from 30 October up to 8 November.
