Be honest: you know the value of learning new things but have been putting off learning said new skills because you never seem to have enough hours in the day.
I get it.
They don't call you a One Woman Shop for no reason—not only are you running a business or side hustle, you're trying to grow it, too. Add a couple kids to mix and there's no doubt about it, you have little in the way of spare time.
But here's the thing: In order to grow your business, you have to put effort into growing yourself (which is ultimately your most valuable business asset).
So, how do you fit learning into your already jam-packed day as a solopreneur?
Start here: Know what you need
For starters, it's best to avoid information overload. We all know how much of a rabbit hole Google can turn into. When you set out on a mission to learn something new, make sure it's relevant for your business and can be put to good use immediately.
Once you've gotten clear on what you want to learn, it's easier to sort out the 'when.'
How to fit learning in without stress
Getting into the habit of weaving learning into your day to day is the key to adding more to your knowledge bank, but you won't be able to enjoy it if it's just another thing that stresses you out.
Focus on this: When you make learning part of your daily routine, it means you don't have to find an extended period of time to sit down and study -- which means every day will the be right time to learn, and it'll be hard to find an excuse not to.
Here are a few simple strategies to fit learning into your everyday, no matter how busy the schedule:
1. Don't overcomplicate it
Learning doesn't always have to be formal. Sometimes, learning can be done through experience. You gain knowledge with each daily task that you master, and you're constantly storing those experiences away in your head.
In order to make the most of your on-the-job experience, why not:
- Join a relevant Facebook group, where you can chat with your peers about what you've learned that day, discuss any challenges or even ask questions in real-time
- Journal (in the method that works best for you) immediately after a success or failure, making notes on what you did that made it work or not
Not only are you making sure the lessons learned stick, but you're also creating your own insider instruction manual based on your experiences, so it's customized for you.
2. Approach your learning in small doses
Do you drink water? Of course you do.
Do you ever skip out on drinking water because you're too busy? Probably not. You probably make a point to drink water throughout the day — in small doses.
Same thing can work for learning.
No one ever said you had to sit down and learn all the things, all at once.
Find spots in your daily routines that have downtime and can double up as learning sessions, like:
- Listening to podcasts while making dinner (a personal favorite of mine)
- Watching documentaries on topics you want to learn more about (educating and entertaining!)
- Making your browser homepage that of your favorite learning resource, so you're constantly reminded and it becomes habitual
When you link learning to repetitive, everyday tasks, you can turn the mundane into mini power sessions. The more you associate learning with your daily routine, the more learning becomes a habit.
3. Stop scrolling
You probably don't want to admit just how addicted you are to scrolling on your smartphone. (We're all in the same boat, I'm sure.)
But if you look at the fact that the average person checks their phone about 46 times a day, most of which happens during leisure time or meals, then there is more than enough time to squeeze in a few micro lessons every single day.
Think of giving up some of your scrolling time as you would the 'latte factor'. When you spend money on little everyday things that don't truly bring value to your life (like your daily latte, unless it does, of course) cutting those small expenses and redirecting the funds to something else can really add up.
Instead of scrolling through feeds on your downtime, try:
- Reading a few in-depth blog posts or an online tutorial
- Watching some bite-sized video lessons
- Downloading the app version of your favorite online learning website, so that you can really learn wherever you go
Smartphones are basically a pocket-sized computer. If you can manage certain aspects of your business and workload on the go while using your phone, then you can certainly harness the power of your smartphone for higher learning, too.
Off to you: will you use any of these strategies to weave learning into your solo business, every day? What other tips and tricks can you share that we missed?
P.S. It's important to note, again: You are your most valuable business asset, solopreneur. With that in mind, know this: Rest does not equal rust.

Hurricane Marilyn
Redfield became a renowned and recognized leader in the midst of the crisis. Multiple editorials complimented his tenacity, grace under pressure, and disciplined leadership during this time. The "Hurricane Marilyn/Virgin Islands Recovery" was simulcast on over six radio stations where Redfield was on 24 hours a day, continuously reassuring and encouraging Virgin Islanders to hang on, and not to lose faith despite the horrific damage surrounding them. He was seen as the "bright voice" in the darkness when there was no power available on the islands, and people were shrouded with uncertainty and fear. He kept Virgin Islanders up-to-date about factual post-storm advisories throughout the nation and the world, sharing messages to loved ones who were otherwise unable to communicate, bringing in the highest ranking government officials to speak about the recovery efforts, and included Spanish translations of broadcasts to assure that Spanish-speaking islanders were also informed and part of the recovery process. To this day, whenever a disaster is expected to strike the Virgin Islands, Redfield's voice is the one that most turn to as their credible and trustworthy resource.

AS THE world's most famous horror writer, Stephen King has been frightening the life out of people since his first novel, Carrie, was published in 1974.
But never have his words sent shivers down the spines of Republicans as much as the piece he wrote for US news website The Daily Beast did last week.
"Tax Me, for F@%&'s Sake!" he demanded – a phrase more terrifying to their ears than Jack Nicholson's "Heeeeeere's Johnny!" in the 1980 film version of King's The Shining.
The best-selling author pays around 28% tax on his estimated $28m annual income (that's more than double the earnings of the average Fortune 500 CEO).
He wants to pay 50%.
King says his appeals for increased taxes for the super rich over the years have been consistently met with the attitude: "Just write a cheque and shut up!"
He does (write, not shut up) – cheques totalling $4m per year to libraries, local fire departments and arts organisations – but it's not enough.
As he rightly points out, charitable donations can only support, not run, the services that governments are charged with looking after. They cannot be used to pay for public (state) schools or stricter regulations on businesses to prevent environmental disasters such as the BP oil spill.
And, more seriously, charitable donations are by their very nature voluntary. Although you can point to US entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates (who has even funded projects here in Merseyside, including the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine), many people with King's wealth simply do not want to share it.
The horror writer's article certainly goes against the traditional image of the impoverished artist begging for funds.
But actually it's not all that unusual for those in the arts world who have made it to freely give something back.
Some, such as Cliff Richard, set up entire charitable foundations, while many simply donate their time or work for free.
Just this month, a whole list of famous artists, including Damien Hirst, Stella McCartney, Nowhere Boy director Sam Taylor-Wood, Marc Quinn, David Bailey, Tracey Emin and John Moores Painting Prize judge Angela De La Cruz, have given work for an auction towards the creation of a yoga therapy centre in London.
Nobody in the UK – artist or otherwise – gives more than Yorkshire-born artist David Hockney however, who incidentally also submitted a piece to the auction.
According to the Sunday Times 2012 Giving List, revealed last week, he is the most generous person in the UK, based on the percentage of his annual earnings he has given away.
Hockney's current wealth is estimated at £34m. Recent donations include art works worth £78.1m to his charitable foundation, which aims to "further the education of the public in the appreciation of art".
Also featuring among the top 10 is Elton John and long-standing supporters of the arts Dame Vivien Duffield, of the Clore Foundation which promotes cultural learning, and Lord Rothschild, former trustee of the National Gallery and National Heritage Memorial Fund ex-chair.
At a time when the Arts are becoming increasingly reliant on private funding, this has to be encouraging.

Probiotics are microorganisms that we can consume through foods and supplements. We always hear that we should consume the right amount of probiotics for good health. There are many benefits of consuming probiotics, some of which are as following:
- Balancing healthy bacteria in digestive system
Probiotics are live microorganisms that include "good" bacteria. These microorganisms provide us with many health benefits. Probiotics have the ability to restore our natural the natural balance of gut bacteria which is the major reason of the health benefits that they provide us.
There are many reasons for which we lose the balance of good and bad bacteria in our body such as, medication, illness and poor dietary habits. This imbalance can cause problematic digestive system, obesity and many more issues.
Probiotics maintain the balance of gut bacteria and keep our digestive system functioning properly and healthy.
- Preventing and treating Diarrhea
Probiotics are known for reducing the risk and severity of diarrhea. Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is very common. Probiotics help in reducing such diarrhea as well as infectious diarrhea.
Probiotics are also very helpful in treating diarrhea in kids. The effectiveness varies with the dosage of probiotics.
- Improving mental health conditions
Many studies link gut healthy of a human with his / her mental health and mood. Probiotics help in reducing anxiety and depression. They also help in improving other mental health conditions such as autism and obsessive compulsive disorders. Studies have shown that a person who uses probiotics benefits, against anxiety, depression and general health conditions and mental illnesses.
- Keeping heart healthy
Probiotics keep our heart healthy by reducing cholesterol and blood pressure.
Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol can be reduced significantly by consuming probiotics food like yogurt on daily basis for two to eight weeks. Taking probiotics also help our body in lowering and maintaining our blood pressure.
- Increasing iron levels in body
Probiotics can help in increasing the ion absorption. They also help in reducing the prevalence of anemia.
- Maintaining optimal level of minerals
Many elderly people face reduced calcium levels, probiotics help in increasing blood calcium level. Many probiotics have proven to significantly increase the bioavailability of zinc, phosphorus and calcium in human body.
- Losing weight & belly fat
Probiotics help in losing weight through different mechanisms. Some probiotics reduce and stop the absorption of food fat in intestine. The body discards this fat rather than absorbing it. Probiotics help you lose weight through making you feel fuller for longer and burning more calories.
There are many sources of probiotics like food and supplements. Fermented foods happen to be a great source of probiotics. In Malaysia probiotics rich food are easily available such as pickled vegetables. Fermented yogurt and milk are also rich probiotic foods.
You can get probiotic dosages in form of tablets and capsules also. You should never consume any supplement, tablets or capsules without consulting your doctor.
You must also know that sometimes some probiotics get destroyed by stomach acid before even reaching your gut thus you need to consume adequate amount of probiotics to get all the benefits of probiotics.

Power Rangers need to save the day from evil. In Power Rangers Dino Thunder you get to choose from different Power Rangers and kick and hit the bad guys in this fun online platform game. Are you able to complete all levels? Have Fun!
Do you have few minutes on hand, and want to something fun, and do you also enjoy to play a free internet browser game? If you are in the same mood as us today, then you probably would like to play the free Power Rangers Dino Thunder game online right now. Am I correct? ;)
Use arrow keys to move when you play Power Rangers Dino Thunder. Spacebar to jump. CTRL to Change ranger. X key for special move.
According to WikiPedia there are many fun facts to learn about the Power Rangers. A Power Ranger is a human or humanoid warrior who morphs from a natural, unpowered form (often using a device called a Morpher) into a superhuman form clad in a full-body costume (irreverently called spandex on more than one occasion but actually an unknown composition were used), as well as a helmet with an opaque/one way visor, which in many cases serves to protect his or her identity from the public. Red and Blue are the only two colors to appear in every season so far. Red is always a hero with a burning sense of justice and usually the leader and the driving force of their respective teams. Blue Rangers are almost always male, though five of them have been female. Four of the five female Blue Rangers wear a lighter shade of blue than their male counterparts, the exception being Blue Dolphin of the Liveman. The Power Rangers have many Sentai Villains and Mecha which they have to deal with. There have been made many online games based of this series.
Watching and listening to a thunderstorm can be exciting, but you wouldn't want to be out in it. All thunderstorms make lightning and lightning is dangerous. According to Science Kids there are many fun thunder facts for kids to learn. If you can hear thunder, lightning is nearby. When lightning strikes it makes a hole in the air called a channel. After the lightning is gone, the hole collapses. The sound you hear when the hole collapses is thunder. You can hear thunder up to 15 miles away. You can see lightning up to 100 miles away. When you hear thunder, start counting until you see lightning. Now divide the number of seconds between the thunder and lightning by 5. That's how many miles away the storm is. Say, for example, you counted 10 seconds between the thunder and lightning. 10 divided by 5 equals 2. The storm is two miles away.

Docker's native authorization model is a developer-friendly one, in that it enables developers to easily access any Docker command — anyone who has access to the Docker daemon has access to all the Docker commands. The same is true with third party software accessing the daemon via remote APIs. While this "batteries included" model enables easy development access and testing, enterprise-class, role-based access control had not yet been added to Docker Engine.
Our head of R&D Dima Stopel took the lead in championing this notion and starting a discussion on Github several months ago. Since then, our engineering team has been collaborating with the Docker security team and the official maintainers to develop an authorization framework –AuthZ—that will allow the implementation of fine-grained access control Docker plugins (See Docker pull request 15365).
We are pleased to announce that the AuthZ authorization Docker plugin work has been completed. AuthZ is now officially released as part of Docker 1.10. Here is the Docker release blog announcing a list of new security features in 1.10, including AuthZ.
Through our collaboration with the maintainers and Docker security team, we started work with these design principles in mind:
- Minimal impact: We want the additional authorization logic to be added with no or very little impact to the existing Docker installations. Recompiling Docker daemon in order to incorporate authorization is not an option.
- Flexibility: The authorization framework must support a wide variety of authorization logic and use cases. As such, the framework must be extensible.
- Security: The authorization framework should not ask for or retain sensitive user information if at all possible. The authentication process is the place where sensitive user info such as credentials are handled, but we do not want user credentials or other potential sensitive information to be passed to the authorization process.
As many of you already know, Docker's plugin infrastructure provides a flexible, late-bound architecture to dynamically load extensions without one having to recompile the Docker daemon. We decided to build the new authorization framework leveraging the Docker plugin architecture.
With the completion of AuthZ and the release of Docker 1.10, anyone can now create a customized third-party authorization Docker plugin and add that to their Docker daemon configuration. Subsequently, a Docker administrator can use this plugin to configure granular and custom access control policies to govern access to the various functions of the Docker daemon. The best part is you can dynamically add or modify your authorization logic without recompiling your Docker Engine.
To help you get started, we also open sourced an extensible AuthZ plugin implementation, which we'll describe a bit more later in the post.
How does AuthZ Plugin works?
AuthZ plugins approve or deny Docker client requests to the daemon, based on both the authentication context and the command context. The authentication context should contain the user identity, the authentication method, and other context info such as location. The command context contains the relevant request data, such as the function being called, the flags passed, all the arguments in the command, and other context information such as target containers, time of the day, etc.
Note that we first need an authentication mechanism to pass the authenticated user context to AuthZ. There is a parallel effort going on for authentication plugins, AuthN, for Docker. More information on AuthN can be found here on Github (pull request 18514).
Here are a few sample access control policies that we have seen in the field (from customers that currently utilizing the access control capabilities of Twistlock's commercial product)
- The "ContainerOps" group can perform "docker –run" and "docker – rm"
{"name":"policy_1″,"users":["ContainerOps"],"actions":["container_run", "container_rm"]}
- The audit team can only perform "docker – list", but nothing else
{"name":"policy_2″,"users":["AuditGroup"],"actions":["container"], "readonly":true}
- Alice can run all Docker commands: {"name":"policy_3″,"users":["alice"],"actions":["*"]}
The first states that if the user belongs in the "ConatinerOps" AD group, the user is allowed to perform "docker –run" and "docker –rm". Otherwise the request will be denied.
The second policy states that if the authentication context stipulates that the user is in the "audit" AD group, the only requests he/she can issue against the docker daemon are read-only get operations.
Note that wildcard is supported, as illustrated by policy 3 where user "Alice" can perform any actions on docker containers.
From an architecture standpoint, when an HTTPS request is made to the Docker daemon through the CLI or via the remote API, the authorization subsystem passes the request to the installed authorization plugin(s). The request contains the user (caller) and the command context. The plugin is then responsible for deciding whether to allow or deny the request.
Note that you can create multiple plugins and chain them together in order. Each request to the daemon would pass through the chain. Only when all the plugins grant access to the resource, is the access granted.
The diagrams below depict an allow and deny authorization flow:
Each request sent to the plugin includes the authenticated user, the HTTP headers, and the request/response body. To enforce strict security practices, no user credentials or tokens are passed to the authorization plugins. . In addition, only those request/response bodies where the Content-Type is either text/* or application/json are sent.
During request/response processing, some authorization flows might need to do additional queries to the Docker daemon. To complete such flows, plugins can call the daemon API similar to a regular user. To enable these additional queries, the plugin must provide the means for an administrator to configure proper authentication and security policies.
More detailed information on AuthZ can be found here on Github.
How to make your own AuthZ plugins
When you create a new AuthZ plugin, you are responsible for registering your plugin as part of the Docker daemon startup.
Authorization plugins must follow the rules described in the Docker plugin API. Furthermore, the plugin must reside within the designated directory specified in the plugin directory section.
To illustrate how the AuthZ plugins work, we have created an extensible open source plugin implementation. You can download it here. The deployment instructions for the plugin can be found at the same place. The Twistlock open source AuthZ plugin is licensed under the Apache license agreement.
For more in-depth reading on AuthZ plugins, see Docker's official Authorization plugin guidance documentation.
Advanced access control for Docker plugin has been a function within Twistlock's commercial offerings. We are pleased to bring this to Docker's open source code base and have it benefit a larger community of users. As a company that benefits from the open source ecosystem, we are thrilled to be able to give back to the community.

In 1955 R S (Dick) Allcock OBE established Endeavour out of his work with the National Association of Boys Clubs. He wanted to shake up traditional youth work, using outdoor activity and new methods of personal challenge to motivate disadvantaged and deprived young people.
Dick believed passionately in the emotional, mental and spiritual benefits of living and working outdoors, developed through his early years in farming and later through his expeditions to different parts of the world. He also believed in supporting people to meet their potential.
We have grown and developed in response to the changing needs of young people and the challenges of modern society. Today, our focus is as much on literacy and academic development as it is on outdoor challenge, and we're helping our young people negotiate the digital world as well as the physical.
But what remains constant are the values that run through the heart of the organization and that unique voluntary spirit and passion that Dick inspired more than 60 years ago

The fix: public servants vote for one pay rise, get another
Thousands of Commonwealth public servants have had their pay packets quietly topped-up above the levels they voted to accept last year.
Six departments and agencies voted last year to accept pay offers of 1.5 per cent or less as the battle between the Coalition government and most of its 150,000 public servants raged on.
But in October, newly appointed public service minister Michaelia Cash walked away from the hardline stance of her predecessor Eric Abetz and agreed to allow departments to offer pay rises of up to 2 per cent in a bid to break the industrial stalemate Commonwealth workplaces.
Workers at Treasury, the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau and the Department of Communications faced being left with lower wages than their colleagues in other departments as a result for voting "Yes" according to their bosses' wishes.
Staff at the office of Public Service Commissioner John Lloyd, an aggressive proponent of the government's tough bargaining stance, also faced being left behind in the pay stakes.
But the minister also gave consent for departments and agencies whose public servants had already voted for the lower figures to quietly adjust their pay rates, from 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent.
In the wake of Senator Cash's announcement, Treasury, the APSC, and Social Services moved to top-up their public servants' wages.
The changes came despite some of the departments and agencies having been adamant that 1.5 per cent was all they could afford.
Thousands of Social Services workers voted for pay rises of 4.1 per cent over three years, but will instead get 5.8 per cent.
Treasury bureaucrats received the full top-up of 2 per cent. The increases mean an executive level 1 middle manager at Treasury would have expected to be earning a base rate of $106,000 under the agreement for which they voted. But after the top-up, the same public servant will be on $107,000, rising to $110,000 by mid-2017.
The Department of Communications and the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation did not respond to questions.
A fresh round of wage ballots underway at departments and agencies across the public service got off to a poor start for the government on Friday, with workers at the biggest department, Human Services, voting by a margin of nearly 80 per cent to reject the latest 2 per cent pay offer amid fears for their conditions and entitlements.
Attention will now turn to Senator Cash's own department, Employment, which is now voting on the same offer, of an average pay rise of 2 per cent over three years with a result due at the end of the week.
The department's public servants have twice rejected pay offers put in front of them in the long-running dispute, by a landslide in December 2014 and by a much closer margin of 55 per cent to 45 per cent a year later.
Although the department is not a large one, with fewer than 1900 public servants on its books, it has taken on a symbolic importance in the broader pay dispute with the public service ministers having twice failed to persuade her own public servants to accept a deal under the government's policy.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to Fair Work Commissioner John Lloyd. John Lloyd is Public Service Commissioner.

Ridgedale Church accepts Kat Cooper's family after viewing The Sapphic Sorority Sisters of Lesbos
The Ridgedale Church of Christ in Chattanooga made national news this week after its leaders asked the relatives of openly gay detective Kat Cooper to either repent and seek forgiveness for accepting Cooper's homosexuality or to leave the church.
Cooper's family decided to leave the church, but the leadership and congregation of the Ridgedale Church of Christ has since recanted its ultimatum and accepted the family back into the church after a group screening of the erotic softcore direct-to-video 1992 movie The Sapphic Sorority Sisters of Lesbos.
"We had this whole lesbian thing all wrong," said congregation member Otto Eisenbiel. "This movie opened our eyes to smokin' hot girl-on-girl action and carpet munching. It's only right and natural."
Far-right religious conservatives have often been critical towards gays, with figures such as the Rev. Jerry Falwell even declaring in 1997 that "this homosexual steamroller will literally crush all decent men, women and children."
"In the book of Matthew, Jesus says the two greatest commandments are 'Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind,' and 'Love your neighbor as yourself,'" Eisenbiel said. "We accept the Cooper family back into the fold, and we love all lesbians, from the most coy lipstick lesbian to the most militant, buzzcut-wearing bulldyke."

Organizing for health care
From the NPT Inbox via El Paso Grassroots:
Last Saturday, I was one of the many volunteers who came to Isela Castanon Williams' house to phonebank for health insurance reform. All of us did such a great job on Saturday that we cannot stop the momentum!
Just like Isela, I invite you to my house this Saturday, October 3rd from 11am to 2pm as we talk to our neighbors to ask for their support for health insurance reform. We made over 400 calls last Saturday and I know that we can do even more if you come!
More troops for Fort Bliss
From the NPT Inbox:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Silvestre Reyes (D-TX) released the following statement on today's announcement by the Department of Defense to convert Fort Bliss' 1st Armored Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team (BCT) to a Stryker BCT when the unit returns from Iraq. The conversion to the new Stryker vehicle will take two years, and this new status will result in an additional 300 – 400 troops for the base.

Marquez fund-raiser (the official one)
State Rep. Marisa Marquez is having a fund-raiser, for real this time (last time around, she said that the Republican money she received just sort of happened, and didn't constitute an official fund-raiser). Tis the season — state Rep. Joe Moody had a fund-raiser last night, and County Commissioner Dan Haggerty had one this week. Other fund-raisers we got wind of but weren't invited to include one for County Commissioner Veronica Escobar. Here's the invite for Marquez's fund-raiser.

Lobbying U.S. Rep. Reyes about LGBT rights
From the NPT Inbox:
Community Members Lobby Silvestre Reyes for LGBT Rights
Advocates Meet with Reyes' Staff to Demand "No Excuses"
El PASO, TEX., September 24, 2009: On Friday, September 25, members of the LGBT community in El Paso will be meeting with the staff of Congressman Silvestre Reyes' office to discuss the stake that El Pasoans have in the advancement of crucial legislation now being reviewed by the Congress and the Obama administration, which will advance the rights of LGBT people in America.
With the support of the Human Rights Campaign, through its national "No Excuses" initiative, hundreds of concerned members of the LGBT community are visiting with their local Congressperson to ask the current legislature to fulfill President Obama's pledge to recognize the rights of LGBT Americans.
In the last few months, El Paso and its elected representatives have displayed their concern for recognizing the equality of all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
State Rep. Norma Chavez to TTC re: Tolls on Cesar Chavez Border Highway
Click on the link to read her letter, which draws a sharp policy distinction from the prevailing political winds in EP — for the most part. Winds can shift quickly.
Here are the last two paragraphs of the letter, which can be viewed via the link.
The State of Texas should be adding new lanes to and upgrading Loop 375 (César Chávez Border Highway). I recognize the need to compromise, and I fought to ensure that a comprehensive reconstruction of Loop 375 will not only include two additional toll lanes, but will also include upgrading the existing four lanes. This compromise means that no resident of El Paso will be required to pay a toll on César Chávez Border Highway if they do not want to.
I will continue to oppose toll roads as a permanent funding mechanism to finance the construction of highways and roads, and will continue to work with legislators next session to address this issue.
UTEP Professor Payan in Newsweek: "Are we still a single community"
Click here for the full article. An excerpt: Our politicians, and the bureaucrats who work for them, come and go along the border, making grandiose statements about how we are winning the war on drugs even as the situation deteriorates. The binational community is never asked about what we're seeing and what we're experiencing. We know we can defend ourselves—we can patrol the streets, we can take back our communities—but it's hard to know exactly how to solve our problems when our leaders are misrepresenting their very nature.
UTEP Professor Tony Payan is a member of the organizing committee for the Global Public Policy Forum on the War on Drugs taking place next week.
Payan also had a piece in the New York Times' "Room for Debate" feature. The question up for debate was, "What Will Mexico's New Drug Law Do?" Part of his answer: The new policies in conservative Latin America reflect disillusionment with the United States war on drugs.

Brazil: History
Ten percent of the world's species of plants and animals live in Brazil, and thousands of those species are at risk of extinction. In order to preserve the habitats of endangered plants and animals, the Associação Amazônia founded the Xixuaú-Xipariná Ecological Reserve, situated on the right hand bank of the Jauaperí River, marks the border between the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Roraima. The Reserve measures 172,000 hectares and is the only private nature reserve of this type in the Brazilian Amazon.
Xixuaú-Xipariná Reserve is a highly important area for rainforest conservation efforts. Located deep in the Amazon jungle, it is extremely isolated, accessible only by a 30-40 hour boat trip from the city of Manaus. This isolation has helped preserve hundreds of species that are in danger of extinction elsewhere in the Amazon.
Brazilian giant otter, manatees, river dolphin, black caiman, a number of turtle species, snakes like the coral and the anaconda, and a multitude of fish all thrive here. The jungle is also the habitat of monkeys, marmosets, tamanduas, sloths, ocelot, jaguar, tapirs, anteaters, armadillos, peccaries, pacas, and the beautiful birds of the rain forest.
The Reserve's isolation and lack of electricity leaves the native Caboclo Indians with virtually no access to modern health care, education, and economic opportunities. And preserving the Reserve is critically dependent upon the local people's ability to lead healthy, prosperous lives in ways that keep the environment whole and flourishing.
In 2002, working with the Associação Amazônia, a group largely composed of indigenous Caboclo Indians, SELF provided solar power and satellite Internet access to the previously non-electrified Reserve. The project was funded by the Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust.
By electrifying the Reserve's new health clinic, SELF and its partners improved health care for the local people. The solar-powered clinic now has a Sunfrost refrigerator that reliably preserves fragile vaccines and snake bite serums. Solar lights allow for emergency surgical operations to be performed at night.
Scientific research and the cataloging of endangered species in the Reserve are now enhanced by an Internet-connected satellite dish allowing the Reserve staff to stay in close contact with scientific research teams.
At the Reserve's new school educational opportunities have been enhanced for the local people. Adult education classes are held in the evenings thanks to solar-powered compact florescent lighting, and the solar powered, Internet-connected computers provide access to distance learning programs.
Economic opportunities have been enhanced with the new access to communications, coordinating eco-tourism and e-commerce ventures.
In 2002, SELF installed solar systems to provide power and satellite connections to the people living in the reserve. Over the years, the reserve has drawn increased scientific and eco-tourist interest, so SELF returned to Brazil in May 2011 to install new solar powered lighting in five newly built guest houses, or malocas, used by visitors. By using solar energy, the lights are eco-friendly and help to protect the pristine silence of the rainforest.

Report Calls for Cervical Cancer Screening Age Limit to be Raised to 70
A new report has called for a change to the perception that cervical cancer only affects younger women.
The British Medical Journal report argues that the age limit for cervical screening should be raised to 70 as the number of older women affected by the disease continues to rise.
While cervical cancer remains the most common form of cancer for women under 35, half of all cervical cancer deaths now occur in women over 65.
Between 2010 and 2012, 449 women over 65 died from cervical cancer, compared to only seven under 25s. In 2013, however, only 72% of women aged 60-64 were screened in the previous five years, compared to 82% of 50-54 year-olds, and 76% of 55-59 year olds.
Despite widespread media attention on the cancer threats facing younger women, it is crucial women of all ages acknowledge that cervical cancer does not only affect younger women and that regular screenings could maximise effective treatment if the disease is caught early.
Women aged over 65 should still undergo testing as 20% of new cervical cancer diagnoses occur in this age group. Perceptions around cervical cancer need to be aligned more with the way people perceive breast and bowel cancer as the disease continues to affect women well into old age even if they have been celibate for long periods of time.
The report reveals that women who have been regularly screened between the ages of 50 and 64 had a "relatively low risk" of developing cervical cancer in the next 20 years, compared to those who had not been tested.
Cervical screening is estimated to save 4,500 lives in England each year. At present however, the NHS cervical screening programme in England, Wales and Northern Ireland stops sending cervical screening invitations once women reach the age of 65.
The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) can lie dormant for many years and it is vital women understand they can still request cervical screening after the age of 65. Regular testing remains the most effective way of minimising one's risk of cervical cancer, and if you have any concerns about your cervical health, it is important you get in touch with your GP.
Slater and Gordon Lawyers help people who have suffered from delayed or wrong diagnosis of cancer due to Medical Negligence.
For a free consultation call the Medical Negligence Solicitors at Slater and Gordon Lawyers on freephone 0800 916 9049 or contact us online and we will call you.

At ZilYen we think the single most important metric for a brand is whether the audience evangelizes it on their own (in other words, it becomes their brand), what are the standout examples of this?

Some folks think "brand" as an idea and objective is pretty squishy.

My friend Caro once commented that, while she likes the CW hit show Supernatural, she didn't think she could "really love a show without a female regular." This is not a bad thing. It's also true: Supernatural doesn't have a female lead. But Supernatural does have something many popular shows don't have–even the ones with female stars. Supernatural has consistently strong female characters.
Do they stick around for more than one episode? Not always. Do they kick some serious ass? You bet they do. So without further ado… five female characters that effectively distract the public from the idea that Supernatural is all about two guys killing demons.
Spoiler warning for the first 4 or 5 seasons. Ready? Okay!

Part 2: El Nino Rises
by cambriamatlow
It's been a long time since I posted anything here, but I wanted to let everyone in on what I've been thinking about since my last post. The Woodsriders is currently in a picture lock state. There was a lot of editing that happened in summer 2014 with Janique, and then a lot of grant writing, and then a lot of rejections. Then, some major life changes. My husband and I bought a house in Portland by the skin of our pants (thanks Proud Ground)! I quit my dayjob in September (thanks to Salt and Straw for helping me float the family boat until then). Then, I edited my tush off. Now, some final components remain – music, sound, color. Those are in the works.
But the interesting part has been what has gotten me through to this moment. To this effect, I thought I'd share some of my recent inspirations and influences in film and the filmmaking process. I'd like to think that all of what I'm about to share have somehow been poured energetically into The Woodsriders.
At a certain point, I wanted to edit The Woodsriders like it was a mystery, to leave the viewer asking questions. I also thought about using sound to create mystery and mood. Lucretia Martel and Ian Clark both use sound so intentionally and masterfully in their films. I'd like to play with that some more.
I've been reading a lot of essayist Rebeca Solnit – super badass – and then I watched The Royal Road, a personal/historical essay documentary by San Francisco filmmaker Jenni Olson. This pertains more to future films, but the essay form is really staring to intrigue me and occupy my mindspace. I'd like to make an essay-style film in the future. So far the film that might fit this style is the Ecuador film about my sister. More on that later – could be much later, but the film is beyond percolation stage, it's just a matter of when.
I saw A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. Did you see that? So freakin badass. Ana Lily Amirpour said "I thought, I'm going to write something where everything people say and do turns me on" So unafraid to follow her own passions, I dig it.
I watched a hybrid documentary called Stop the Pounding Heart that I thought was lovely, definitely an inspiration for The Woodsriders. I can't remember if I saw it before or after shooting – wait now I think it was after. No music whatsoever. Gorgeous natural sound, a simple story with long takes, my kinda movie. Also Empire Builder, a slow burning narrative from Kris Swanberg, made a big impact on me via the vibe it creates, again doing so much with so little.
Jauja was divine – From director Lisandro Alonso, Viggo Mortensen as a Danish military officer loses his daughter in the 1880's Argentine desert – I could have watched it forever. The end is weird but I forgive most weird endings. The guitar music in the film was beautiful and I told my composer Ronen Landa about it as he set up to write tracks for The Woodsriders. I also rekindled my old affections for Yo La Tengo (who did the soundtrack for one of my favorite films, Old Joy by Kelly Reichardt) and Vincent Gallo (no comments, please).
Then there was Leviathan, the fishing boat documentary from Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab's Lucian Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel. I've been obsessed with Sweetgrass, also from the Harvard gang, for years (ahem Mike Neal), and so was excited to see this new film. One critic wrote: "What Leviathan leaves in its own wake is a nonfiction film culture now utterly changed, much how viewers might have felt watching the Free Cinema experiments of the mid-1950s or the vérité masterpieces of the Maysles/Pennebaker/Wiseman era. Documentary filmmakers must now answer to Leviathan's new combination of direct cinema, experimental ethnography and abstraction. The game is over. Let's restart." Leviathan wasn't so much a pleasure as a confirmation of an attitude: Game over. Let the games begin. Do whatever you want.
And then there were the influences that I had going into this film that I wanted to hold close: Sweetgrass, Kelly Reichardt, Lynn Ramsay, Lake Tahoe (from Mexican director Fernando Eimbcke), Lucretia Martel, Frederick Wiseman (especially La Danse), Claire Denis (especially White Material), Sofia Coppola, Ian Clark (an Oregon filmmaker whose latest A Morning Light I can't wait to see), Lee Isaac Chung… also Ben Rivers' Two Years at Sea, which made me come up with the phrase 'No drama is drama' as a creed.
I've thought about how radical it is to show a female character in voluntary survival mode. We never see this onscreen. (Okay, then Wild came out. But she was a recovering addict and played by Reese Witherspoon. Can't a regular girl just go hike in the snow?) I read a comment recently about Wendy and Lucy's Wendy being the female answer to Christopher McCandless, the protagonist from Into the Wild. Not Reese, but Wendy. But McCandless just wanted the adventure, right? No healing required. I think Sadie (The Woodsriders' lead character) is an even better answer than Wendy.
This excerpt from an interview with Steve McQueen (12 Years A Slave, Hunger) really resonated with me:
His reluctance to revisit past wounds seems to have led to a blanket embargo on curiosity about himself, which I think has leaked into his work because, despite having made three films about human survival in states of extremity, none has even begun to unravel why people behave as they do. His protagonists' pain is always privately contained, never shared with an intimate or explored through dialogue, so we scarcely know them any better by the final scene. Instead, his films just show what people do – in unflinching detail. So we saw exactly what excrement smeared over prison cell walls and crawling with maggots looks like, or a sex addict masturbating in a toilet cubicle, and now we see exactly what a slave looks like hanging from a noose, while other slaves avert their gaze. But we never see inside their minds. For McQueen, the visual artist, showing what they look like is what matters.
When I ask what new ideas or emotions he thinks the film offers, he admits, "I don't know. I was just interested in telling the truth by visualising it. Visualisation of this narrative hasn't been done like this before, and I think that's the thing. I mean, some images have never been seen before. I needed to see them. It's very important. I think that's why cinema's so powerful."
And then this from David Whyte:
"Hiding is an act of freedom from the misunderstanding of others, especially in the enclosing world of oppressive secret government and private entities, attempting to name us, to anticipate us, to leave us with no place to hide and grow in ways unmanaged by a creeping necessity for absolute naming, absolute tracking and absolute control. Hiding is a bid for independence, from others, from mistaken ideas we have about our selves, from an oppressive and mistaken wish to keep us completely safe, completely ministered to, and therefore completely managed. Hiding is creative, necessary and beautifully subversive of outside interference and control. Hiding leaves life to itself, to become more of itself. Hiding is the radical independence necessary for our emergence into the light of a proper human future."
And then I watched Nina Simone's performance at the 1976 Montreax Jazz Festival and wanted to use Little Girl Blue over the film's closing credits. I still kind of do, but likely won't.
I'll leave it at that. I went bonkers with the links, hope you have some fun with that. The Woodsriders is coming. May your El Nino winter be cold enough for snow.
