About Me:
I've always loved the Beatles but I became I real fan when I was 13 and then I couldn't stop listen to them since that! Their songs saved my life and their albums are the soundtrack of my life. My favorite bealte is George because I believe his personality is very similar to mine and because he was a amazing person that dedicated all his life to the things he loved and believed. I absolutely love the 60's and for me it's the best music era. My favorite album of all-time is Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies.
Favourite Track:
Strawberry Fields Forever (MMT)
Tell us why:
This song brings a lot of good memories of my childhood somehow. And the line that says: "Living is easy with eyes closed" is just astonishing! The melody and lyrics are just genius! Definitely this is one of the best songs ever!
Favourite Album:
Tell us why:
With Revolver the Beatles began exploring new sonic territory, lyrical subjects and styles of composition. It's impressive how eclectic the album is: from psychedelic sounds (Tomorrow Never Knows), a child song (Yellow Submarine), indian muscic influence (Love You To), powerful guitars (Taxman), beautiful ballads (Here,There and Everywhere) to the Beach Boys (Pet Sounds mainly) influence (Good Day Sunshine). It's a fantatic and cohesive album, the Beatles at the top of their game!

Shivering Sands
Paperback, 176 Pages
Price: $15.54
Prints in 3-5 business days
SHIVERING SANDS is a bit of an experiment: part Greatest Hits collection, part late-night ramblings, all crackling text transmissions sent down the wire from anywhere Warren Ellis had access to a computer and something to say. These essays, stories, music reviews, the occasional chemically-induced rant, and a couple of recipes— because, for whatever reason, everyone seems to love his recipes—represent a cross-section of the past seven years' worth of Warren's writing online. From jumping around Britain, Europe and North America to just dragging his carcass up to the local pub for a think, this is the unedited spillage from the inside of the writer's head during the '00s. Some of it even makes sense. WARREN ELLIS is the award-winning creator of graphic novels such as Fell, Ministry Of Space, Planetary, and Transmetropolitan, and the author of the "underground classic" Crooked Little Vein.

Like the Wordverse, the Thorpcoverse and Neo-Earth G before me, this is my attempt to create my own world full of my favorite fictional characters all blended together in a delicious fruity twist. If I can have a tenth of the Wordverse's storytelling, a tenth of the Thorpcoverse's expansiveness and a tenth of Neo Earth G's creativity....
...that's still seven-tenths left to fill, so I'd better come up with something to be best at quick.
For me, every setting has to start with a major theme: a concept that defines the stores that can be told with it. The theme I have chosen for the Hercverse is this:
A grand unifying theory of the supernatural is usually the soul of a crossover setting; some neat explanation for how these disparate power systems are all tapping into the same things.
Not here. Not in the Hercverse. In the Hercverse, nobody has any idea how things work.
Oh, sure, the laws of physics provide a useful baseline, despite all the many ways that they can be broken. Of course, the ways they can be broken all operate on their own internal logic and rules. The problem for anyone trying to find some common root to everything is that you can't. There isn't one. Nasu-style Magecraft that can kill its user should they overstep their ability exists next to Zatana, who's magic can't fail at all so long as he can cast it, and they're both magical enough to hurt Superman. Mutant psychics like Jean Grey and people with psychic talents that are inborn but somehow not part of a mutation can do very similar things and give out totally different energy readings. The Type-Moon, a ridiculously powerful being from the moon that spread a contagious vampirism, was vanquished a decade ago at great cost by Zeltrech the Kaleidoscope, and still there are over two-hundred different varieties of creature that can be called "vampires."
It can give you a headache. And don't even get started on the afterlives.
Still, life goes on, despite the best efforts of Gaia and the Anti-Monitor. And with so many different routes to power, most people will come across one or two in their lifetime, and the unknowable is anything but unusual.

Adjunct Assistant Professor, University of New Mexico & Cultural Resources Coordinator, Valles Caldera National Preserve
Join pioneering excavations of prehistoric quarries in the Valles Caldera and discover how humans interacted with this volcanic landscape 10...
Anastasia Steffen has led inventory of cultural resources at the Valles Caldera National Preserve since its creation in 2000. Her research interests include prehistoric stone
technology, debitage analyses, and landscape-scale management of cultural resources. Ana is passionate about all things related to fire, obsidian, volcanoes, and hot springs.
For one thing, it's federal land: "I love working in a place that is owned by the people and creating opportunities for them to come to know the place. I really like creating opportunities to learn with the public, not just for the public," Dr. Steffen told Earthwatch.
Then, of course, there's the science: "I'm very interested in creating opportunities to use the Valles Caldera as a laboratory for obsidian analysis. There's a lot more that needs to be done on assessing and applying what's called obsidian hydration dating. This is geochemical method is used to figure out the age of obsidian artifacts. When a piece of obsidian is fractured during tool manufacture, water gradually absorbs into the surface. The longer the artifact was exposed to water, the deeper the water penetrates."
"So far, archaeologists have found thousands of artifacts with obsidian from the Valles Caldera in 12 states," says Dr. Steffen. "That tells us that prehistoric peoples in the west-central U.S. used this caldera for obsidian starting about 10,000 years ago and continuing through until European contact in the 1600s. Inevitably, people ask me where the farthest flung artifact has been found: the answer includes Mississippi, Texas, northern Mexico, northern North Dakota, and eastern Nebraska."
Volunteer to join Dr. Steffen and Earthwatch on an archaeological dig in New Mexico to discover how humans interacted with this landscape 10,000 years ago.
Dr. Steffen is pioneering the excavation of these prehistoric quarries.

According to RESCUECOM, a national computer repair company, IBM/Lenovo and Apple scored the highest on reliability out of every manufacturer they service. Sampling 20,000 random calls over the period of 2003 to 2006, RESCUECOM compared the number of calls to the percentage of US market share and ranked Lenovo a 243, Apple a 201, Dell a 4, and no-name brands a negative 16. The score is a percentage difference between market share and repair share.
It's not a scientific survey, but something to keep in mind as you do your Xmas shopping this year.

Earlier this fall, FundedByMe started testing its crowd equity platform in stealth. Only 40 days later, the company has shifted its main focus away from classic crowdfunding towards equity crowdfunding. By doing so FundedByMe wants to get involved in early-stage startups by providing the entrepreneurs with all the necessary tools to manage fundraising campaigns and large amount of shareholders with the ease of a click. Now they are challenging the ways of old financing and making it possible for any startup to raise money.
The frustration of having to close down due to financial shortcomings is the reason why FundedByMe started business and became Sweden's first crowdfunding platform. Daniel Daboczy and Arno Smit founded FundedByme in 2010 and are still the driving force behind a company that is completely committed to the crowdfunding revolution and which engaged more than 7500 individuals over the past 18 months.
In september the team launched its first equity campaign, in which investors get a part of the company and have the possibility to be actively involved in the future of the company. This way of funding challenges the old ways in which investments in companies were traditionally reserved for (venture) capitalists, banks and business angels.
A startup submits its idea into a so-called pre-round on FundedByMe's platform, this in order to test the valuation, pitch and market temperature. After having the possibility to adjust parts of the campaign, and when the hype is build, a company will change into an open-round. After 40 days of open rounds, three companies including FundedByMe itself, have raised far over 3 million Swedish crowns (approximately $454,000).
Virtuous Vodka, one of the other two companies running a successful campaign on the platform, raised over 75% of its goal (1 million SEK) in a month and is bound to close their round soon.
FundedByMe is excited with the attention the industry and the company both are receiving. There is no lack in interested startups, but FundedByMe continues to communicate clearly that running a successful (equity) crowdfunding campaign takes a lot of work.

Hello everyone!
Good evening/night! 🙂
Some of you may have heard of The Young Writer's Workshop, a place where young writer's can grow, and be motivated to write. I am considering signing up for the workshop, but I wanted to ask any of you – who have been part of the experience – how you found it. Did it improve your skills? Did you start your blog or finish a book because of it? I'd like to know so it'll help me with my decision.
Thank you all so much for your help!

Farm injury risks increase with age
(Edmonton) Older North American farmers work fewer hours than their younger peers but spend more time operating heavy machinery and equipment—raising their risk of serious injury, according to new research from the University of Alberta.
A survey of 2,751 Saskatchewan farmers showed that as farmers age they turn to less physically strenuous work such as operating machinery. Farmers aged 45 to 64 years spent six to eight more days a year operating tractors and combines than farmers 20 years their junior—a situation that puts older farmers at risk, say the study authors.
"It's important for farmers, especially those from farm families where the older 60-plus crowd is still working, to understand that operating machinery is still a high-risk activity," said lead author Don Voaklander, a professor in the School of Public Health and director of the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research.
The study, published in the November issue of the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, found that farmers aged 45 to 54 spent a median of 67 days a year operating tractors and combines—the most among any age group—followed by farmers aged 55 to 64, who spent 65 days operating machinery.
In comparison, farmers aged 25 to 34 spent just 61 days on machinery.
Farming a greying industry
The farming industry is greying faster than any other occupation in North America, with an average age of 55 years—and that's only going to rise, Voaklander says.
The study included input from 519 seniors, with farmers between 65 to 74 years old working a median of 46 hours a week on the farm—just one hour less than farmers 40 years their junior. Farmers aged 75 and older worked 34 hours.
Floyd Anderson has had his share of close calls on a farming and ranching career that spans six decades. Now 73, he continues to put in 12-hour days, partly because he loves the work and partly to help his family.
"I've had too many close scrapes, actually," says Anderson, who runs a 300-head purebred cattle operation near Cardston, Alta. One of those close calls was getting his arm caught in the main drive of a combine.
"That dang near took my arm off," he says of the incident, which could have been far worse than a cut arm had the heat of the machine not cauterized the wound. "The smoking belt cauterized the artery that was cut and I made it to town."
Voaklander notes most farm fatalities are caused by working on tractors and mowing machines or working with animals, and that older farmers in particular are at high risk.
"They tend to work alone, they tend to work on older equipment and they often gravitate toward machinery jobs because it's easier to handle."
Voaklander says newer machinery has better platforms, deadman switches and safety guards that reduce injury risk. He recommends staying in contact with family as much as possible, and says family members should also heed warning signs of declining sensory capabilities such as dented or scraped machinery, or damaged fence posts.
The study was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety In Agriculture.

The most common international countries are: England, Australia, New Zealand and western Europe take 7 to 10 days. This does not apply to custom printed orders.
Q - What are Memory Cross cards made of and how durable are they?
A - The small Memory Cross cards are printed on 10 point coated board (think playing cards). The larger cards which measure 6 x 6 inches are printed on 100 lb. uncoated cover (think Hallmark card). We've tested each size and they hold up to hundreds of folds. The larger cards hold up longer because the "hinges" that allow them to fold are larger. We've tested the larger cards to fold over 500 times. That being said it is still important for the cards to be folded properly. Most children can figure it out on their own but if you are giving them to 4 or 4 year olds we recommend that you show them how it works. If you do not know how they work, we've created a video that you can watch by clicking here.
Q - What guarantee do you offer?
A - Memory Cross offers a 100% money back guarantee if you are not happy for any reason. We even pick up the cost of shipping the product back. Here is the link to our full return policy.

A special DOUBLE disc set featuring Rosey (Matt Anoa'i) and The Black Pearl (Reno Anoa'i) give their special view of the lives, legacies, and legends of Samoans in pro wrestling. Hear from both their accounts of the Samoan family and their parts in it... from the legends that broke into the sport to their role of carrying on that legacy and more!
What's the brother going to do? He's Samoan. The answer to this question for a member of the Anoa'i Family, is wrestling. From the High Chief Peter Maivia to the Wild Samoans to the Samoan Swat Team to Yokozuna to the Rock to Rosey and Umaga.
The Anoa'i family has been well represented in the world of professional wrestling. At one time pro wrestling was viewed as a punishment to a member of the family. But after the success of several family members pro wrestling has become a family tradition. We caught up with two members, Rosey (Matt Anoa'i) and The Black Pearl (Reno Anoa'i), of the family and asked them about their lives, their family's legacy, and the legends of the sport who they call cousin, uncle, or father.
The pressure of being in pro wrestling's first family is overwhelming. Find out how both men depended on their family members to help them deal with the demanding life of being a pro wrestler. This two disc set includes indepth interviews with Rosey and Black Pearl as well as a special slide show look at some of the legends of the Anoa'i Family. No other interviews have examined the Samoan family like these two interviews. This two disc set is more than just a look at a family tree it is a pro wrestling history lesson.

Just a reminder that I always enjoy getting feedback and comments of the books that I post on 5B4 Photography and Books. So keep them coming please!
One small problem lately is that I have been getting a lot of spam in my comments sections. These are companies that insist on polluting the atmosphere and discussion by adding hyperlinks to their business's website in the comments section of popular blogs. Apparently my blog has reached a certain level of popularity as these annoyances are steadily increasing in occurrence here at 5B4 Photography and Books. Monitoring and deleting them takes extra time away from my usual life and writing and my time is too valuable.
So as a solution, if you want to leave a comment, you will now have to type in a verification code that will appear before your comment will be posted. I sincerely apologize for the added step (it actually only takes about 5 seconds) but until there is a death penalty imposed for 'comment spammers,' I am afraid this is the world we will have to live in.
The image composite above is from the fine book Red-Color News Soldier published by Phaidon in 2003.

Here's the link, check it out if you feel like it: Ant Colony Simulation
As a final project in my AI class, I developed a program that hopefully introduces non-programmers to the artificial intelligence principle of emergence in ant colony optimization.
Basically, the program models how real-life ants cooperate to find food. Even though each individual ant is pretty dumb, the colony as a whole shows intelligent behavior. Through pheromones and some very simple rules, ants work together to respond to dynamic environments (which you can change on the fly).
The program's source is available, and it might serve as a base for another programmer to implement something more game-like. This could be the beginnings of a tower defense game, or just a better version of the open environment I've started here.
I'm submitting this later today, so any feedback on stuff that isn't obvious is appreciated. Also, if anybody using a mac could do a quick "this works", I'd appreciate it. My professor uses a mac, but I don't have one to test on.
I've also posted this here and here.

Errata Editions On-Press: Day One
I just landed after a 15.5 hour flight into Hong Kong so I thought my first post report from China should be the background as to how this project came into being. Since many of you desire to publish your own books, you might find some useful info in the posts over the next few days.
Initial Idea
Almost exactly one year ago I found a few issues of The Pentagram Papers -- those small booklets published for clients of the Pentagram Design firm -- and immediately fell in love with their elegance and esoteric subject matter.
Everything from their size to their feel and construction is appealing. I almost immediately thought how perfect it would be to produce a series in that format that describes the greatest photobooks ever produced. The next logical thought was to provide the entire content of the original but in a uniform series much like the Photo Poche books but with much higher production standards.
I have been asked many times why not just publish facsimiles. The idea of doing exact facsimiles was less interesting to me for several reasons. First and foremost I wanted these books to include additional scholarship from a contemporary stand point in the form of essays that discuss the book and its impact as an object. If doing a facsimile these additions would be an odd inclusion and basically go against the idea of a facsimile completely. So I decided to try to make these books studies that would not try to replace the original but to sit alongside it as a companion.
Also, my thought was to create a series that was affordable to the widest audience. Originally I conceived of these books to cost around $30-35 dollars and not $60-$75 dollars of the average contemporary photobook.
The last, and perhaps final note on the subject was, when I started talking to artists about our "studies" I quickly found out why second editions or reprints hadn't already been created -- the artists didn't want them done and in some cases had prevented them from being made. However, those same artists liked the idea of my series because of it being a study -- seeing it as a tool that could be used to allow the work to be seen yet wouldn't tread closely to being a new edition.
The First Steps
The next stage was to make some mock-ups. After making a list of which books I thought would be a good mix of classic and contemporary and those that show the variety of work done in book form, I chose two books and set about making two full mock-ups as I imagined them. My choices were Atget: Photographe de Paris and Chris Killip's In Flagrante.
After borrowing a copy of the Atget book I set about photographing every page. Since many of the books are delicate and "unhappy" when laid open flat, I kept the book open only at a 45 degree angle and shot each page separately with a Canon 5D digital camera. I then put each two page spread together in Photoshop to make up the final images. I thought this technique produced fine results until I saw the results of Robert Hennessey's copy camera work with the 4x5 digital scanning back done for the final printed books.
Using Quark design program, I came up with a design (which now seems so embarrassingly bad compared to our final design) and list of content that the books would follow. Using an Epson 2400 ink-jet printer I outputted the final books on heavy-weight paper. I then employed basic binding techniques learned at NY's Center for Book Arts to bring it into the final form.
With these two mock-ups my plan was to bring my series concept to an Aperture or Steidl and try to get it started with an established publisher. Luckily, I ran my idea past my friend Ed Grazda and he started us down the road to thinking about doing it ourselves by establishing a small publishing company.
So, less than 3 months later Errata Editions was born.

"Who better to disclose the poetic utterances of these pieces with their highly developed 'esprit de fantaisie' than Giuliano Carmignola? I cannot think of any other violinist at the moment who feels this music with such depth and delicacy of expression and who can sustain the melodic line in a manner which mirrors the sustained style of an operatic aria."
BBC Music Magazine (London), January 2010 (record review Concerto Italiano)
Giuliano Carmignola was born in Treviso, where his violinist father discovered and encouraged his son's passion for music and where the Vivaldi renaissance began 50 years ago. Luigi Ferro, his first teacher at the Venice Conservatory, was a soloist with the Scuola Veneziana Orchestra that Angelo Ephrikian created in 1947 to perform Vivaldi's music. He later played with the Virtuosi di Roma, with whom Carmignola was in turn to appear as a soloist from 1970 to 1978, while succeeding Ferro as a teacher in Venice.
Carmignola's career was launched in 1973 when he was a prizewinner at the International Paganini Competition in Genoa. Having attended master classes with Nathan Milstein, Franco Gulli and Henryk Szeryng, he went on to perform the major violin works of the 19th and 20th centuries under conductors of the stature of Claudio Abbado, Eliahu Inbal, Peter Maag and Giuseppe Sinopoli, including giving the Italian premiere of Henri Dutilleux's Violin Concerto. As a teacher, he has been on the staff of the Musikhochschule in Lucerne and the Accademia Musicale Chigiana.
For pre-Classical works, Carmignola has two instruments, the superb Floreno Guidantus of 1739, and an anonymous 18th-century violin owned by the late Angelo Ephrikian, who also came from Treviso and who deciphered the first Vivaldi manuscripts to be brought to light after World War II.

So there is a bit of a back-and-forth happening between Greta Christina and newly-minted FTBorg Taslima Nasreen. Ms. Nasreen wrote a piece essentially equating all sex work with exploitative slavery. Greta, a long-time sex work advocate, disagrees with a great deal of Taslima's piece. So do I, for the record. However, I found it more than a little interesting and opportune that this issue has come up. Some of you will remember my buddy T who guest-wrote a great piece following the news of the Ontario Supreme Court's decision to decriminalize brothels. T and I were going back and forth on a longer piece about the strengths and weaknesses of Sweden's model governing sex work. Since Ms. Nasreen specifically name-checks Sweden numerous times in her piece, I thought it would be the perfect time for T to publish this work.
Hir thoughts below the fold:
One of the first things to understand about sex work stats as they relate to the Swedish model is that its implementation happened to coincide with easy, cost-effective access to cell phones and the internet. These two things have forever changed the way people conduct all sorts of businesses, including sex work. Even if a sex worker meets a client on the street, giving them a phone number to call to arrange future dates diminishes the amount of time they then need to spend on the street soliciting future business. This skews the stats on how many sex workers work indoors vs. on the streets and the volume of clients that they see.
People go where the work is, and if we criminalized clients, housing and food expenses will still compel sex workers to interact with potential clients in dark, secluded and dangerous areas. As long as people have financial needs and wants that exceed that of what can be had through welfare, sex work will always exist, in every corner of the globe. There are many people who don't want to have any kind of sex for money, but think it beats working long shifts for minimum wage when they have kids, health issues, addiction issues, or for whatever reason, find other forms of work to be a greater hardship than sex work.
Criminals, be they human traffickers, pimps or abusive clients, don't care that they are breaking the law or violating the rights of others. The criminal element of sex work will always exist for the same reason that even though rape and murder are crimes, they continues to happen. Some people are sociopaths and/or criminals; most are not.
One of the problems with the Nordic Model is how arbitrary the lines become in defining what is and what is not sex work. If you define it as a cash transaction, what of those who accept payment in drugs (to use or sell), which then gets into the murky area of wining and dining dates, especially if there is discussion about what one will and won't do sexually, which peopleshould be doing before having sex. And before you laugh, this has been a real problem with the Swedish laws. Then add 'gifts' and the availability of gift cards and prepaid credit cards. What of the client who pays the worker's rent? This then becomes quite similar to a 'sugar-daddy' situation, which starts to bleed over to include women who date men who help them financially, painting them as sex workers (and some might argue they are, to an extent).
Additional problems come in the form of making owning a place of prostitution illegal. Roommates who work together for financial and safety purposes can then be prosecuted for pimping each other. Landlords may have to evict a sex worker tenant if they are made aware (usually by nosey neighbors… so sluts, keep that Aspirin between your knees!), lest they be convicted of running the sex workers business or living off of the avails. This then forces sex workers to work alone, and potentially forces them to move often, which diminishes their financial resources, forces them into increasingly dangerous areas of town, and cuts them off from established social ties (such as friendly neighbors) who might come to their aid.
Further, it is fine and well to come up with a plethora of nit-picky laws, but if the laws aren't implementable, what purpose do they serve? One of the reasons why sex workers are consistently prosecuted at rates that far exceed those of clients is because they are identifiable. Dressing a certain way and carrying lube and condoms can be used as evidence against them; whereas unless client are caught on tape, they can claim to have been asking for directions or just thought it was their lucky night: 'Oh no officer, I didn't know I had to pay for it! I thought it was my Axe body spray.' Countries where the Swedish model has been implemented have incredibly low rates of prosecution of clients; arrests may be made, but charges are infrequently brought to court because the evidence is poor. This amounts to no more than shaming people in the court of public opinion, which works for politicians, but not the hardened criminal element, because to reiterate, criminals and sociopaths don't care.
There is also a fundamental problem with the way we view immigration and migration. The Naked Anthropologist has spent years studying migrant populations and makes a good case that those who are willing to leave their home countries for economically advantaged ones, are by nature risk takers, and are therefore more likely to voluntarily perform riskier jobs, such as sex work, driving taxis, construction, etc. By making sex work illegal and therefore automatic ground for deportation, we paint people into a corner where they may claim to be victims when they aren't, thereby inflating the numbers and spreading thin already scant enforcement resources. Additionally, the age at which one is considered an adult varies by country and culture, a sixteen year old woman from Africa or Asia may have been married with children and her own house in her homeland, but would now be considered a child in Europe or North America.
I admire those who seek to inform others about the real dangers of the sexual exploitation (or any other form of exploitation) of others, as they do a valuable service to all of humanity. However, what they often miss is this: most people want to do the right thing, and many (possibly most), if given the opportunity to do so without risk, will. Instead of making clients and those in peripheral occupations (security, agencies, etc) the 'enemy,' they should be educated and enlisted to help solve the problem. Much the same way that prohibition failed, while drunk driving campaigns have succeeded, we need to educate people, create social pressure to do the right thing, provide a workable (and realistic) legal framework, and then prosecute the actual offenders.
One of the best things we could do to really curtail the exploitation of others is to start a public awareness campaign and create anonymous phone lines for clients, security staff, landlords and neighbors to call, so that they can report suspicious situations without being obligated to be legally involved. You could even call it Traffic-Stoppers. Police, social workers and support staff could then assess the situation, undercover as clients if necessary, and intervene as needed. Much is made of the male sex drive and how it diminishes capacity, but post-orgasm, if the client happens to notice that the sex worker looks to be abused or unwilling, the client might want to help, but have no means to do so. By painting all clients as rapists and participants in trafficking and exploiting others, you shame them into silence when their help is desperately needed.
I would love to see customs staff at airports and borders trained to spot those at risk, and to discreetly take them aside for a private interview. I would love to see multi-lingual signs in high volume areas warning people of the reality of exploitation and letting them know that the law is on their side and who they can contact if they need help. I would love to see those signs in clubs and bars where clients are picked up. And I would love to see real resources put towards mental health, addiction, education, employment and immigration/migration services.
There are three additional points I would like to comment on:
First, there seems to be a conflation between First World Problems and Second/Third World problems in the discussion between GC and TN. As long as those at risk (particularly women, children, queer and trans people) have fewer rights and employment options, rates of very real, very tragic victimization will be far greater in those areas; and that is an outrage, and we should fight it. But in fighting it, we should first understand the underlying causes, which may include the reality that certain cultures are deeply patriarchal and more abusive towards women, while at the same time providing few means of support financially or socially for the marginalized.
Second, I'm glad someone posted the NZ laws pertaining to the right to refuse clients for any reason (including race), and that the clients only have the right to services that have been paid for. If the offer if rescinded, the fee should be repaid partially or in full depending on the amount of service already provided. That is exactly how it should be. Do not forget that being naked and alone with a stranger is an entirely different thing than serving someone coffee in a crowded Starbucks.
Third, there are important differences to understand about what it means to decriminalize something, versus to legalize something. If you decriminalize something, anyone can do it; if you legalize something, restrictions may be put on who/how/when/what is involved. The trouble with legalization, is that you can get into the situation that Canada is in where sex work is legal, but there are rules that curtail it that can impinge on the rights of the worker. Or you could end up with a system like Nevada where it's legal for certain people (generally women of age employed in legal brothels), and under certain conditions (health standards, etc). If someone fails to meet these standards, they are then legally in the wrong (though it's usually a misdemeanor). If you make it a requirement that only those who have licenses can engage in sex work, and make the acquisition of a license dependent upon such things as testing negative for STIs or drug, the absence of mental health issues, or citizenship, then you force those at risk underground again and cut them off from valuable services.
So in short: Decriminalize sex work across the board; keep rape, human trafficking and exploitation illegal. Fund and advertise public awareness campaigns and anonymous, exploitation report lines. Provide social and health services where needed. Realize that bad people will do bad things, and good people will do the best they can; try not to confuse the two.

Suðuroy - Suduroy - The South Island
Info about events etc. in Suðuroy are to be found on the facebook pages of the Information centres:
Visit Suðuroy - Vágur
Visit Suðuroy - Tvøroyri
Cleft by deep fjords, Suðuroy is a most picturesque island that has much to offer the visitor - from historic Sandvík in the north to the beautiful, natural scenery of Sumba on the south. The two largest towns, Tvøroyri and Vágur, are situated on beautiful fjords surrounded by mountains. All of the island's towns and villages are linked by a network of modern roads, which offers easy access to a variety of fascinating landscapes. The northernmost villages of Hvalba and Sandvík are connected by one of the oldest tunnels in the Faroe Islands. The tunnel between Trongisvágur and Hvalba is the oldest tunnel for cars in the Faroes. Hvalba, by the way, is the only place in the Faroe Islands where you can still find coal-mining operations. From either of these two villages, there is a magnificent view of Lítla Dímun, the only uninhabited island in the Faroes. On the southernmost tip of Suðuroy is the village of Sumba, which is the birthplace of one of the best loved and perhaps most controversial poets in the Faroe Islands, Poul F. Joensen, known simply as Poul F. When travelling to and from Sumba by the mountains road, you will travel near the second-highest cliff in the Faroe Islands. Beinisvørð, towering at 469 m, is a haven for seabirds and is a veritable wonder to behold because of its singular beauty. Upon Your arrival in Suðuroy, please stop by the tourist information office in Vágur or Tvøroyri. It would be our pleasure to help create the perfect itinerary just for you so that your stay will be a truly unforgettable experience. To help you better plan your visit, we can provide detailed information about the many interesting excursions that we offer and you are welcome to ask any question you might have. Both of the Touristinformations are in the local Townhalls.

In Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough Planet, Bill McKibben likens the biosphere to "a guy who smoked for forty years and then he had a stroke. He doesn't smoke anymore, but the left side of his body doesn't work either." This new world, he says, requires new habits.
And, no doubt, many of us have adopted new habits—trying to use public transportation, buying local foods, rejecting bottled water. But the "savings" from such practices are wiped out by a habit that many of us not only refuse to kick, but also increasingly embrace: flying, the single most ecologically costly act of individual consumption.
Flights of PrivilegeA round-trip flight between New York and Los Angeles on a typical commercial jet yields an estimated 715 kilos of CO2 per economy class passenger, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization. But due to the height at which planes fly, combined with the mixture of gases and particles they emit, conventional air travel has an impact on the global climate that's approximately 2.7 times worse than its carbon emissions alone, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. As a result, that roundtrip flight's "climatic forcing" is really 1,917 kilos, or almost two tons, of emissions—more than nine times the annual emissions of an average denizen of Haiti (as per U.S. Department of Energy figures).
Only 2-3 percent of the world's population flies internationally on an annual basis, but the climate impacts of air travel are felt by a much larger—and poorer—population. It is difficult to illustrate the meaning of such numbers in terms of who among the planet's citizens pays the costs. Image above: German short film "The Bill". From (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWfb0VMCQHE).
But this is exactly what the 2009 German short film The Bill does in powerfully demonstrating the ecological privilege and disadvantage embodied by flying. In doing so, it shows aviation to be a classic example of how the comparatively well-off privatize benefits of environmental resource consumption (the ability to travel quickly and afar) while socializing the detriments. By making a disproportionate contribution to climate destabilization and associated forms of environmental degradation—biodiversity loss, rising sea levels, and desertification, for instance—air travelers exacerbate the precarious existence of the most vulnerable. In doing so, they contribute to unjust hierarchies (e.g. racism and imperialism) that reflect a world of profound inequality.
Global Organizing—Without Planes
Clearly this presents a huge challenge to social and environmental justice advocates, activists, and organizers from the planet's relatively wealthy areas who often connect to distant peoples and places by flying. Because the institutions and individuals most responsible for our global predicaments typically exercise mobility and exert their power across great distances, those of us who want to challenge their practices often must also do so. So what to do?
One option is to use transportation that stays on the Earth's surface, to accept traveling more slowly, and to make flying a very rare exception instead of the rule. Throughout North America, buses—and, in many places, trains—are viable options. And for transoceanic voyages, ships (including freight ones) are a possibility—albeit not typically inexpensive or as common as they need be.
Another option—indeed an obligation in a time of growing ecological destruction and a degraded resource base—is to stay home more often. Given that "jet travel can't be our salvation in an age of climate shock and dwindling oil," McKibben writes, "the kind of trip you can take with a click of a mouse will have to substitute." In other words, we have to become much better at exploiting the "trips" that the Internet and related technologies afford—by videoconferencing, for example.
While such options present numerous challenges, not least logistical ones, perhaps the biggest obstacle is the particular way of seeing and being common to the small slice of the world's population that flies regularly. Traveling long distances by bus, train, or ship, for example, necessitates time—and a willingness to expend it in manners that those from the world's privileged parts and sectors are not used to doing. It doesn't necessarily entail doing less, but it does mean doing things in different ways.
A New Normal
It also calls for new mechanisms and institutions—and some organizing to bring them about. Take long-distance travel by ship. Less than a century ago, many regular folks traversed the seas—think of immigrants to Angel and Ellis islands. And many well-known organizers and activists—Gandhi, Helen Keller, and W.E.B. Dubois, to name just three—journeyed extensively by ship.
To do so today, of course, is far more difficult as jet travel has greatly weakened the passenger ship option. But what if, for instance, U.S. and Canadian activists and advocates going to Denmark for the Dec. 2009 climate summit had, instead of booking individual flights, organized to travel together by ship—with all promising to get to and from their ports of call by surface-level transportation? And what if they had publicized this effort as a way of setting an example for, and challenging, others?
That such a suggestion will seem unrealistic, if not foolhardy, to many illustrates the way that what we're used to thinking of as normal can stifle our imaginations, and let us off the political, ecological, and ethical hook. The option is as "realistic" as we make it. In this regard, we need to push and support one another in the effort to make far-reaching alternatives viable.
Climate science tells us that we need a 90 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions over the next few decades to keep within a safe upper limit of atmospheric carbon. In light of the great changes such a reduction demands, what is unrealistic and foolhardy is the notion that we can continue flying with abandon.

For those of you who are interested in the CEO of Sirius XM here is an appearance from just 2 days ago on Detroit access television. An interesting story on his background to say the least.
For those of you who are interested in the CEO of Sirius XM here is an appearance from just 2 days ago on Detroit access television. An interesting story on his background to say the least.
It may have aired 2 days ago, but it was recorded awhile ago. In the video Mel is asked about the stock price being at .39 and Mel's response was that he didn't control the stock price and that the market cap was bigger that it seemed - because of there being over 3 billion shares in the float. Didn't Mel say on the CNBC promo that the share price was his report card though? I guess you could blame your grades on an incompetent teacher that had it in for you. I have before.....
man i so badly want to hear something out of mel, thats recent, lets go february!!!

It sure did not sound like someone who is concerned about his stock going to 0. After listening to this, I feel like buying another 20 -40k shares
Not sure if anyone picked up on this, but he mentioned 2.9 billion revenue in 2009 vs 2.7 billion outlined in the Dec 18th 2008 annual meeting projections.
Is this him raising guidence ?
Maybe the $2 increase is where this is coming from, especially if present subs grandfather in for 3 years.
Mel has a habit of building companies then buying them out and selling them to someone later. It has been noted from many others that they believe that that is exactly his intentions with SXM. The stock is a direct reflection of the management team. Unfortunetely Mel and company have been caught up in a lousy market, poor car sales, etc.
If Mel wants to look out for the shareholder he needs to get this stock moving North again. I am terribly concerned that at current share values we are headed to distruction. However, the optimism in me reminds me that SXM is going to make money soon. They have a monopoly. They are worth more than a BK. If it does get to making that decision, Mel needs to find a buyer of the company, or at least to find a partner who can help with the XM debt.
Note Mel said he hoped to make some money at his SXM venture but that was not his real need. He just may be too wealthy and tiring from this day to day battle to be of benefit to SXM and the shareholders. Eventhough this was a few months old, he looked very tired and worn. Godbless Mel, and Godbless SXM, I have a lot to lose from their success!
this was recorded several month's before the Dec lowered guidance.

In geometry, a parallelogram is a simple (non self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. From the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning author of Clybourne Park, Bruce Norris—A Paralleogram is a fairly amusing story that features Marin Ireland as a self-involved and complicated woman named Bee and the strange relationship with her much older self.
Along with her fire breathing, short fused boyfriend Jay portrayed by Tom Irwin, Bee stumbles through her suburban dullness, most of time on her bed; trying to navigate her past, present and future. Bee's much older self, a one-woman Molotov cocktail, played by Marylouise Burke, serves as the sharp tongue commentary track; who delivers most of the plays nuggets of wisdom on love, marriage and relationships. Also featured is a remote control that allows Older Bee to mute or rewind different parts of Younger Bee's life. As Young Bee's life coasts down hill and spirals out of her control, she finds herself on med's, in therapy and shackin up with her former gardner, JJ, enjoyably played by Carlo Alban.
Though the jokes come fast and right from the get-go, Norris and director Anna Shapiro create an involving atmosphere where the heroine gets some decent mileage with shifting realities and time travel. Complications arise when the remote starts to overrule Younger Bee's choices and she invests more time on repeating her past.
Keeping a healthy balance of comedy and drama A Paraellaogram touches on the philosophies of choice and fate. You may root for the Younger Bee, but want to strangle her at the same time. Younger Bee's crusade to reconstruct her life is both perplexing and regrettable, as she just can't seem to say or do anything right. While Tom Irwin is both funny and serious at the right moments, Carlo Alban is comforting and familiar as JJ. And Marylouise Burke is extremely funny, moving and shocking at the same time. Marin Ireland is fearless as she shares Bee's inner self with the audience.
Though A Paraellaogram is a reflective story that delivers some heartfelt and clever moments; this perennial tale often arrives at being Ground Hog's Day with a hangover. There was not an inkling of effort put into the story as to how and why Older Bee arrived into the life of the emotionally challenged Younger Bee's
The actors have chemistry and build wonderfully off of each other. Ireland and Irwin connect with the collapse of their characters relationship, as their growing dissatisfaction becomes more evident.
Each actor allows the audience inside, not only in the lives of the characters, but their hearts and the darkest part of their psyche.
Lighting and scenic design to keep the story grounded in its reality.
In the end, the world closes in on Young Bee and nothing seems the same. She decides that she could have a better chance if she lied for a living. So, with one tap on the remote control, the audience is taken right back where we started. The beginning.

The US Senate gaveled out of session in the early morning hours of Wednesday, announcing what Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called "largest rescue package in American history" was finally ready.
Comment →
Senate leaders and the Trump administration reached agreement early Wednesday on a $2 trillion stimulus package to rescue the economy from the coronavirus assault, setting the stage for swift passage of the massive legislation through both chambers of Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced the breakthrough on the Senate floor around 1:30 a.m., after a long day of talks with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and other administration officials.
"At last we have a deal," McConnell said. "After days of intense discussion, the Senate has reached a bipartisan agreement on a historic relief package for this pandemic. ... I'm thrilled that we're finally going to deliver for the country that has been waiting for us to step up."
"Help is on the way, big help and quick help," Schumer said. "We're going to take up and pass this package to care for those who are now caring for us, and help carry millions of Americans through these dark economic times."
The agreement capped five straight days of intensive negotiations that occasionally descended into partisan warfare as the nation's economy reeled from the deadly pandemic, with schools and businesses closed, mass layoffs slamming the workforce and tens of thousands falling ill.
The legislation, unprecedented in its size and scope, aims to flood the economy with capital by sending $1,200 checks to many Americans, creating a $367 billion loan program for small businesses and setting up a $500 billion fund for industries, cities and states.
Other provisions include a massive boost to unemployment insurance, $150 billion for state and local stimulus funds and $130 billion for hospitals.
McConnell said the Senate would pass the legislation later Wednesday. With the House out of session, action there could take longer, depending on whether lawmakers can agree to pass the bill by "unanimous consent," which would require agreement from all members of the chamber.

The move for a "Phase 3" coronavirus stimulus package is not going well. Or anywhere fast.
Senate Democrats blocked a massive coronavirus stimulus bill from moving forward Sunday in the Senate, as partisan disputes raged over the legislation that's aimed at arresting the economy's precipitous decline.
Negotiations continued even as the initial procedural vote fell short, with 47 senators voting in favor and 47 opposed. The tally was well short of the 60 votes that were needed to move forward. The number of "aye" votes was especially low because five Republicans are quarantined over coronavirus fears.
Although senators of both parties and Trump administration officials vowed to continue negotiating -- around the clock if necessary -- the failed vote was the latest negative signal about Congress' ability to come together around the legislation, which aims to inject close to $1.8 trillion into businesses and households. Policy makers are scrambling to address a spike in layoffs and businesses gasping for assistance as millions of Americans stay home to avoid contagion.
Ever since Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) introduced the legislation Thursday night, senators have missed one self-imposed deadline after another to reach a deal. The vote Sunday evening was delayed three hours so talks could continue after it became clear it would fail, but no resolution was reached and it failed anyway.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was not happy:

Chief Dull Knife College was originally chartered in September, 1975, by Tribal Ordinance as the Northern Cheyenne Indian Action Program, Incorporated, and granted funding by the Indian Technical Assistance Center of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council appointed six directors to manage the affairs of the corporation.
Previously known as Dull Knife Memorial College, CDKC was renamed in 2001 to emphasize the significance of Dull Knife as a chief and respected historical leader of the Northern Cheyenne people. Chief Dull Knife, also known as Chief Morning Star, fighting with great courage and against overwhelming odds, led his band of Northern Cheyenne back to our homeland to maintain the sovereignty of our tribe. Reflecting Chief Dull Knife's determination, the College's primary mission is to provide educational and cultural leadership to its constituents.
Although the original curriculum of the College was directed at training students for mining jobs near the reservation, the College has quickly expanded its offerings to include post-secondary transfer programs. The College offers a variety of Associate degrees, certificate programs, and maintains articulation agreements with institution within the Montana University system that facilitate seamless transfer for students. With the addition of interactive television technology at CDKC, the College has also been able to expand opportunities for upper level students to complete advanced degrees on-line.
As the student population has steadily increased, so has the need to acquire new facilities and the campus has utilized sustainable greenbuild technology to construct buildings to house Adult Literacy, technology, daycare, and visiting lecturer facilities. All of the facilities were designed and built using sustainable straw bale construction in cooperation with the American Indian Housing initiative. In addition, the campus houses the Dr. John Woodenlegs Memorial Library, a state-of-the-art library that serves both the College and community, a Learning Center that provides both educational and technological access for student research and study, and numerous computer, math and science laboratories.

Dustin Pedroia injury update: Red Sox second baseman hopes to return Wednesday
CHICAGO — Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia had a cortisone injection in his left wrist and hopes to return to Boston's starting lineup on Wednesday night.
The AL MVP was injured April 4 when Milwaukee's Carlos Gomez broke up a double play at second base in the ninth inning. Pedroia is hitting .139 (5 for 36) since then with one RBI and no walks, leaving his season average at .236.
"Hopefully, I'll be in here tomorrow," Pedroia said Tuesday. They gave me a shot to calm everything down. They said it's 24, 48 hours to kick in, and then I'll get there and go."
SPECTOR: Injuries the difference between good and great teams | Farrell tossed
He missed Sunday's series finale at the New York Yankees.
"I was getting a little bit worried. It was getting worse every day," Pedroia said. "Everything got inflamed. You keep swinging and playing and it just adds up until you think something is really wrong."
Red Sox manager John Farrell said it was possible Pedroia could pinch hit Tuesday.
In other injury news, closer Koji Uehara threw a bullpen session on Tuesday, is expected to throw another Wednesday and could be available for Thursday's game. He has not pitched since April 9 because of a sore right shoulder.
