"Who's coming? Everyone, right?"
Perhaps Venezuelans are clueless about whether we'll reach safe harbor doing what we're doing. But one thing we're positive about: we're through trying to adapt ourselves to this hell.
Translated by Javier Liendo
Perhaps Venezuelans are clueless about whether we'll reach safe harbor doing what we're doing. We may not even be certain of what that harbor looks like or what may be awaiting us there. But one thing we're positive about: we're through with this hell. We've got to find a way out, even if we have to do it in the dark.
It was 10:30 a.m. when I turned off the computer.
"Who's coming? Everyone, right?"
"Yes, let's go!" my coworkers replied.
Only a couple stayed back at the office to get some work done, the work that keeps us afloat to pay wages and avoid a complete shutdown.
The building was suffused with the atmosphere of protest, people "were onto something." Recent clashes in El Rosal have made us wary and left two broken panes of glass from a tear-gas canister fired right against the building's entrance.
Our leader, Guillermo, carries an old backpack with milk of magnesia, vinegar, pieces of cloth and a baseball glove; he's a former shortstop, and now he throws tear-gas canisters.
We're a small group of people from various offices, seven or eight depending on how many Metro stations the regime chooses to shut down that day, and we already look like a batallion: white shirt, jeans, cap and old tennis shoes.
Our leader, Guillermo, carries an old backpack with milk of magnesia, vinegar, pieces of cloth and a baseball glove; he's a former shortstop, and now he throws tear-gas canisters. Alejandra, a 25 year old lawyer, walks at the front carrying the national flag.
Twenty minutes later, we caught up with a huge crowd — Great! Each time I march I have the gnawing worry that nobody will show up, that they'll finally get tired of protesting, but it's been a month of almost daily protest and my fears have yet to materialize.
The day was hot as hell.
As we made our way to the Francisco Fajardo highway, I talked with Guillermo about how to involve the middle ranks of the Armed Forces with the movement.
"We have to keep pushing them, raise the stakes so that this becomes unsustainable. Chávez talked all the time about the drama of shooting against the people during the Caracazo, we must hit that nerve."
"But without the Caracazo."
"Of course."
"The problem's that trying to reason with those guys is impossible, they're brutes."
The day of the March of Silence, the picture of a nun being embraced by a masked National Guard went viral. True, guns are deaf to the words of an old lady with a rosary in her hand, but guards aren't. Some of them – the majority, I like to believe – are there just following orders over a meager if much needed paycheck, they go hungry under a scorching sun on the street while their superiors drink Old Parr. They know that all too well.
Once we reached the highway, we start marching West. Flags flap in the wind, giving the scene a somewhat Helm's Deep-ish feel, with a soundtrack from The Foggy Dew, #tropicalmierda version.
We all know what's going to happen.
"Look, there they come," Alejandra says.
There's already an unspoken agreement about how the ritual of repression is going to go down in these battles.
We hear people applaud.
"There are like 30 of them, look how they form a line with their crusader shields like an army!"
"But they're kids! How old could they be? 17, 18?"
"No idea, but these marches would die out in two minutes if it weren't for them."
There's already an unspoken agreement about how the ritual of repression is going to go down in these battles: you repress us, we retreat and then return to the front. It's a dance of war.
The first shots boom in the background… they're unmistakable, their sound is hollow and dense like a base drum.
People start running.
"Don't run! Don't run! Resist, resist!" a woman shouted, and nobody moved. They're all in.
Remember the image of the lady standing in front of the armored vehicle a few weeks ago? That's a symbol of the same feeling: utter determination to firmly oppose abuse. Conflict is in the air, but people's weapon is resistance and their best attack is not showing fear against guns. That shit drives them crazy.
The GNB's motorcycles overwhelm the frontlines.
"Look, look, look, they went that way, they went that way."
"Take the cloth, take the cloth!"
"Let's go to the Sambil, hold on, hold on, don't let go!"
Tear-gas is a cruel enemy. First, it blinds you to confuse you, and then it irritates your throat and nose to make it harder for you to breathe, cause panic and even nausea. Panic ensues. People crowd together trying to flee while the sound of the GNB's motorcycles buzz in our ears.
It's mayhem.
"Don't lose sight of the guards, don't lose sight of them!"
Guillermo, our infielder, is an expert in evasion tactics in these situations.
"Let's go to the CCCT, there are better chances there!"
I had to make do with what remained of my sight to keep an eye on Alejandra's flag, the guards a the tear-gas canisters falling from the sky. It was like Call of Duty.
When we get to the CCCT mall's entrance, the worst: they ambush us from la Carlota military airport and there was nowhere to run. Tear-gas, choking and the fear that one of those canisters splits your head open. I was in a lot of pain.
"Actually, I'm ready to go back out for more," said our shortstop.
What do these guys want? It's hard to think at the moment, but the canisters never leave your mind. As Nietzsche said, "only that which does not cease to hurt will remain."
The CCCT became a refuge.
Then we start congratulating each other for having slipped the vultures' grasp. The goal wasn't reached, true, but they couldn't take anyone and nobody was wounded, that's a win.
We won't leave.
"Actually, I'm ready to go back out for more," says our shortstop.
People need to identify with something
As the days go by, these protests are taking on the shape of a movement with an identity that goes well beyond its practical purpose. The flags and the tear-gas define us so far, but people need to identify with something more than smoke and bombs, because smoke dissipates quickly and the problems we face as a society remain, like the broken glass back in the office, as a reminder that this is about more than just ousting Maduro.
We took a bus and went home.
We won't leave the streets until the sun finally shines on our nation once more.

Mill Creek is a classic early Sixties-era shopping center adjacent to a traditional neighborhood and small downtown. It has a history of commercial success but also has shown some signs of age with strong retail competition from newer, outlying shopping centers. It is dominated by large frequently underused parking lots. We will be examining opportunities for redesign and infill development to increase the efficiency, profitability, and usability of the area. We will look at increasing density and adding a mix of uses to make the area more vibrant and inviting.
We met with property owners, municipal staff and technical experts the week of January 16th to develop ideas for this site. A summary of the first portion of this meeting, including presentations and discussion is available here.
We've also taken what we learned in Mill Creek and made it applicable to other, similar communities who may want to attract growth and redevelop their shopping centers. This way, other communities can benefit from what was learned in South Portland and have the option of applying to their own planning activities. Click Here for the Lessons Learned in South Portland document. .
An evening public workshop was held on May 9 to allow everyone to provide thoughts and input on these ideas. At this meeting three posters were presented showing potential phases of development that would meet the goals and desires identified in the previous workshop. The first poster showed some immediate projects that the city could undertake in the near future while the second poster showed some longer term possibilities for redevelopment in the area. The third poster showed a possible but unlikely future scenario that explored what would be necessary to meet the hypothetical goals that SSM had identified for the area in terms of density. A pdf version of these posters can be found here. A list of the public feedback we received on these posters is available here.

Maui Tacos
We bring our "chiles guajillos" to Hawaii directly from Mexico and it's the main ingredient for our enchilada sauce, chicken adobo and many other dishes. I like cooking with fish so we are sharing our pan-fried fish filet topped with Salsa Borracha. Make this when Cinco de Mayo is around the corner and use local tomatoes, cilantro and onions and serve with a good local beer! We love this recipe and want all our guests on Maui to be able to take home the flavors of Maui Tacos.
When you do a marinade for fish that calls for oil and any citrus juice, put all the ingredients in a blender and blend them to a thick consistency. This way the marinade will better infuse the fish, giving it more flavor.
Drunken Fish With Salsa Borracha
4-6 oz fish filets
1 oz olive oil
Salt to taste
Pan fry the fillets and topped with 3 oz of the salsa Borracha.
Salsa Borracha:
2 oz olive oil
3 fresh pieces of garlic chopped very fine
1 Maui onion chopped 1/4″
Sautéed garlic and onion with low flame after 3 minutes add
3 medium tomatoes chopped 1/4″
1 fresh Serrano or Jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped very fine
1 teaspoons of ground chile guajillo or paprika
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of crushed oregano
1/2 teaspoon of salt
12 oz of beer
Simmer for 3 minutes and add 12 oz of beer.
Cook for 4 minutes so the alcohol burns and we just have the flavors of the beer.
Transfer to a container and add 3/4 cup of chopped cilantro
Mix well and serve warm.

Sergios Drunken Beans
1 1/2 pounds dried beans
3-3 1/2 quarts water
1 large onion, halved
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon lard or vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 large tomatoes, finely chopped
4 serrano chiles, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups cilantro, finely chopped
2 cups beer, light or dark
salt to taste
Beans: Clean and rinse the beans thoroughly. Soak overnight in water to cover. Discard this water before proceeding.
Combine beans with onion, garlic and lard in either a large heavy pot or a pressure cooker.
If using a regular pot, add plenty of water (about twice as much water as beans) and cook over low heat for 1½ to 2 hours. Add more water if it evaporates during cooking.
If using a pressure cooker, add enough water to cover the beans. Cover and cook for 45 minutes to an hour. Cook the beans until they are tender with either method. Drain the beans, but leave a bit of cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Heat lard in a heavy frying pan. Add onion and fry until lightly brown. Add tomatoes, chilies and cilantro. Add the cooked beans and beer. Salt to taste.
Continue to cook over low heat for about 45 minutes until the mixture thickens.
To serve: Pour the hot beans into a large clay or individual ceramic serving dishes. Serve the beans with roasted meat and warm corn or flour tortillas.

Teacher Applicant
After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching prospect said, "Let me see if I've got this right…
You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the state exams.
You want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents by letter, telephone newsletter and report card.
You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
You want me to do all this… and then you tell me… 'I CAN'T PRAY?'"
A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him.
She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe so she had an idea of how to handle it.
She asked a neighbor, Mrs. Goodnest, if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. Mrs. Goodnest said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.
The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy, set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor boy he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As the boys walked to school on Friday chatting and kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally he said to Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?"
Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I know who she is."
The friend said, "Well, who is she?"
"That's just Shirley Goodnest," Timmy replied, "and her daughter Marcy."
"Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?"
"Well," Timmy explained, "every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much… and in the Psalm, it says…
'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life.' So I guess I'll just have to get used to it!"

Gooder Grammer
Here are several very important but often forgotten rules of English:
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague (They're old hat).
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said:
"I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Be more or less specific.
15. Understatement is always best.
16. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
17. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
18. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
19. The passive voice is to be avoided.
20. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
21. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
22. Who needs rhetorical questions?
23. Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

The Money Squeeze: As yule cheer turns to fear, traditions change
'We are shifting from a 'me' to a 'we' economy'
It's beginning to look a lot like ... the tightest family Christmas in a generation.
The nation's ongoing economic nightmare is reshaping how families celebrate the holidays. Goodwill is the new toy store, philanthropy is replacing Hanukkah presents and annual dinners are now potlucks.
Christmas fear has replaced Christmas cheer this year, as plunging stock markets and the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs make nearly everyone nervous.
Buried in this anxiety is something positive: Families are simplifying their holidays, hunting for gifts with greater meaning and even paying closer attention to charity.
In fact, the changes signal a cultural shift, according to consumer anthropologist Robbie Blinkoff.
"What we are shifting toward is from a 'me' economy to a 'we' economy," said Blinkoff, who is conducting a national study on how consumers are reacting to the financial crisis. People are "more thoughtful than ever, more targeted, so there is no wasteful giving."
Even if these changes are less than fundamental, the holidays will be different in 2008 as families cut back. A record-high 35 percent of shoppers will spend less than last year, and half are more likely to give a charitable gift as a present, surveys from Gallup and World Vision found.
'Shift in priorities'
Holiday traditions already are changing at Cambria Cox's South Seattle home.
Since work has slowed for the freelance wardrobe stylist, she may skip the Christmas tree farm and head instead to the Home Depot lot. The family is burning CDs and baking cookies and spiced nuts as gifts for friends, neighbors and grandparents.
Instead of traveling to visit grandparents in Arizona, the Cox family will stay in Seward Park and hit free holiday events, such as the Lake Washington Christmas ships, gingerbread houses at the downtown Sheraton, and the Macy's annual window display.
Cambria Cox is even questioning whether to buy a wreath.
"I think I'm going to go to Costco and see how much they are," Cox said. "I'm definitely thinking about costs where I never even considered before."
Yet Cox's changes run deeper than wreaths. She's taking her year-old daughter, Vivian, and 4-year-old son, Hayden, to do volunteer work at the Rainier Valley Food Bank.
"I hope that these economic times will bring a focus back to necessities vs. luxuries and community vs. the individual. We could all use a shift in priorities," the 36-year-old mother said.
Cox and other parents have reason to feel anxious. In recent months, many watched a third of their 401(k) accounts vanish, unemployment climb and the region's biggest lender, Washington Mutual Inc., fail.
But the "lemming principle" is also at work, pushing even financially secure families to follow the laid-off and unemployed over the cliff into economic panic, said Lauren Zander, a life coach who teaches lifestyle classes at MIT.
Zander wants those who can, which is most of us, to hit the shops -- as long as we know our limits
"If you live in fear, it really does kill your joy," she said. "If you don't shop this Christmas, it really is going to help depress everyone."
Rational or not, the lemmings are leaping this year.
Seattle is poised for one of the weakest holiday shopping seasons in recent memory, according to Doug Pedersen, co-author of The Puget Sound Economic Forecaster.
"It seems as if households are as panicked as the financial markets are in respect to spending," said Pedersen, who has tracked the region's economy for 30 years.
Santa feeling pinch, too
If you're cutting back on gift giving, be honest with your kids, experts suggest. You don't have to tell them Santa isn't coming this year, but you can say he's hurting like everyone else.
"I guess you can say this year even Santa Claus is going to be more limited, because the people who are producing things are cutting back," said Robert Duvall, president of the National Council on Economic Education.
A tight Christmas actually is a great teaching opportunity, Duvall added. Put a new savings account under the tree, or better yet, tie a bow around a few shares of stock, he suggested.
"If parents look on this critical time as a time to help their young people learn some basic lessons, we will all benefit," Duvall said.
This season also could encourage children and parents to look beyond their own Christmas trees.
Julianne Rowley's three sons already have collected coats in their Bothell neighborhood for a charity drive, and now they're saving change in a Christmas jar for a needy family.
"Most kids are very understanding, and they see what is going on around them," said Rowley, author of "The Seattle Mama's Handbook," a guide to family activities in the region.
When Seattle's Sulkin clan gathers next month to celebrate Hanukkah, there won't be a gift exchange. Instead, the children will tell family members what charity they chose for a donation.
"We're starting a new and really meaningful tradition," said Alayne Sulkin, who has three kids -- Ari, Eli and May.
With less money flowing through the economy, families likely will renew simple traditions, such as caroling -- and maybe even debate how and why material things add meaning to their lives, Blinkoff said.
While it may be a tight holiday season, the anthropologist worries it could be just the start.
"I am more concerned about next Christmas."

Tottenham star Alli: I'll still be criticised for heroics against Chelsea
Dele Alli expects his critics will still "have something to say" despite his match-winning performance in Tottenham's Premier League clash with Chelsea.
The England international scored twice in the second half to help Spurs to a 3-1 win, their first at Stamford Bridge in the top flight in 28 years.
Alli had only scored six times in the league prior to Sunday's match and has been criticised for a perceived dip in form compared to 2016-17, when he scored 18 times and provided seven assists in the Premier League.
The 21-year-old, though, does not feel he had a point to prove against the champions and thinks there will always be scrutiny of his displays.
"I'm sure people will still be disappointed with the way I've played. They'll have something to say," he told Sky Sports.
"For me, it was just about helping the team as much as I can. Like I've said before, what people say, I try not to let it affect me as much as I can.
"I don't think I had a point to prove. I just had to get into the starting 11 and help the team."
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with Alli's display but feels he should be given "room to breathe" in his development.
"He's a great talent and I have no doubts about him," said Pochettino."Young players need room to breathe. There's pressure on their shoulders. But he has nothing to show to me or Tottenham. It's more about the expectation being so high.
"I'm so happy for him."

Alli's double came after Christian Eriksen's stunning strike cancelled out Alvaro Morata's opener for Chelsea.
The result means Antonio Conte's side are now eight points behind fourth-place Spurs with just seven league games remaining, but Alli does not think the race for the Champions League places has been settled.
"I can't say we're guaranteed [a top-four spot]," he said. "We're in great form, we've got a few games left, so we just have to make sure we keep winning. We can't get carried away.
"Obviously, we'd have liked to win the league, but we have to take what we can and keep building."

Max Frost
92ZEW FREE SHOW – New Artist Showcase — Tuesday, July 22 – Southern Napa, Daphne
There are a few things you should know about musician, producer and songwriter Max Frost. He developed his eclectic style of music playing in various projects throughout his teen years. Max became a musician when he was eight, learning guitar simply because music was always around him and he loved it. He started playing shows at 12 and collaborated with a diverse array of artists like Austin icon Bob Schneider and hip-hop MC/producer Kydd. After hearing musicians like Erykah Badu and D'Angelo in his late teens, Max began incorporating hip-hop elements into his blues-inspired stylings, interested in the idea of combining modern rhythms with classic vintage tones in his music.In September 2012 Frost decided to leave the University of Texas-Austin, where he was studying English, to pursue his solo career. The musician released a single, "White Lies,†a boisterous number that expresses the feeling of paranoia one finds in a relationship and reflects that aching fear of betrayal, in April 2013. The track hit No. 1 on The Hype Machine?s "Most Popular Tracks on Blogs Now†in April and May, and Max suddenly found himself with a far greater audience than Austin, TX. Max channeled the song?s success into the creation of his debut EP, Low High Low, out in October. For the musician, the EP is an opportunity to showcase the way he pulls in aspects of various styles, from blues to funk to electro to hip-hop to pop, and fuses them together in a new way."The songs all connect to polar emotional states in life – highs and lows – giving the EP its name,†Max says. "This basic pattern is reflected in the content of the songs and the moods of the melodies. The theme continues in the production aesthetics of low-fi and high-fi, which will continue as the basic concept in my music into my upcoming LP. I hope the songs give a rounded representation of the music I've made in the past as well as a window into what I plan to create for the future. I'm influenced by many genres so I wanted to create an introduction that displayed diversity but also had coherence.â€The music itself, as heard on Low High Low, is dynamic and innovative, a new way of capturing classic sonic ideas. It's also a way for Max to find peace and meaning in the world, and to channel his own experiences into some relatable. There is distinct sense that the listeners can insert themselves into Max?s songs, which is perhaps the most important thing you should know about him."A good song is 95 percent of complete thought,†Max says. "A small part of it should be left vague and incomplete because that's where a listener projects in their own life and their understanding of how it fits as a whole for them. I want to leave space in my music for the other person to project what they've lived. That's true of my new EP and it will be true of my forthcoming album.â€

Quoted by UFC's manager Dana White, Kimbo Slice was said never to step foot inside the octagon. Being the name and face that the UFC had worked so long to prove that it was not, Kimbo Slice began making his name by beating up random non-trained fighters on the streets. Attempting to make the reputation that the UFC was not the barbaric street warrior scenario that people thought it was from the beginning, Dana White refused to let Kimbo set foot inside the octagon.
Apparently something became lost in translation. As Kimbo continued to grow as an internet sensation, bullying people in back alleys, the announcement was made that Kimbo would be allowed onto the show. Not only was he to be allowed onto the show, but he seemed to be the main publicity for it as he became featured in many of the running ads and commercials.
Pushing the poster child for something that UFC tried so desperately to prove it wasn't, just so they could reach out to a new fan base, came as almost offensive to true fight fans everywhere.Credit: www.youtube.com
This mistake soon became apparent. As Kimbo proved fight fans everywhere correct by lying on the ground like a dead fish, it was obvious that a well-rounded game was a much needed criteria in order to fight on one of the top MMA stages in the world.
HOLD ON…..This isn't where it ends though. Laying down and being embarrassed by REAL fighters during the show, Kimbo was quickly eliminated. Soon after the show, Kimbo Slice was given YET ANOTHER FIGHT inside the octagon in order to let him redeem himself. This was again a failure. Not being able to place Kimbo up against anyone that even considered having a ground game, the UFC then paired him up with the outdated fighter knows as Tank Abbott. .........REALLY? Now things have officially become a joke.
Credit: bigsteez.wordpress.com
It goes to show that simply because a man has large arms, a beard, and is capable of beating up random people in boat yards, that it does not translate into being a well-rounded fighter deserving of UFC publicity. Honestly, strike up a fight conversation with anyone out there that claims to be a Kimbo slice fan. You will find that 99% of them know absolutely nothing about the sport or its roots. Why the UFC would go back to proving its barbaric point to so many others just to pull in a few fight fans that know nothing about the sport anyway is far beyond me. I guess the love for the money is beginning to outweigh the love for the game in Dana's eyes.

Does the Military Commission Act Apply to U.S. Citizens?
Legal scholars are debating whether the Military Commission Act [MCA], passed by Congress on September 29 and soon to be signed by President Bush, applies to U.S. citizens. The answer is more complicated than one would think.
First: Under Sec. 948a(1) an unlawful enemy combatant is "(i) a person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its co‐belligerents …; or (ii) a person who…has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal…." Use of the word "person" suggests that citizens may be detained as unlawful combatants.
But second: Sec. 7(a) denies habeas rights only to aliens. Thus, a citizen who is detained as an unlawful combatant would appear to have habeas rights to challenge his detention.
Moreover, third: Sec. 948b states that "[t]his chapter establishes procedures governing the use of military commissions to try alien unlawful enemy combatants." In other words, only non‐citizens may be tried by a military commission.
My conclusion: A citizen may be detained (subject to habeas challenge), but not tried, under the MCA.

teaching How Do You Unlock A Shared Note in Real-Time?Can anyone , including someone from Evernote... simply tell me how to unlock a shared note? Since the recent big update... if you are sharing a note in near real-time with someone else, ( I am a voice teacher and I give skype lessons to students and we share student folders with notes in it... )... the new update locks you out of the note, rendering it impossible to make any changes in the note... they said they did this to prevent the synching conflicts, but.... that wasn't nearly as bad as the new problem this created... now I can't share a note with my student in real-time?! Well, that would be digestible if they had provided a way to unlock or override that feature... but apparently they have not. Is this true? Is it actually true that they created a "lockout" feature when two people are sharing a note, that renders the note disabled for one of the users... and didn't provide a means to unlock the note or an override or a disable check box in the preferences? You got to be kidding me?! So far, the only way I can get access to my students note is for my student to completely close evernote and relaunch... Does anyone know how you unlock a note after you have been locked out? C'mon Evernote ... creating a "lock out a user" feature when sharing a note in real-time is one thing... but then to not provide any way to override that feature is just a huge oversize and mistake. Lock your customers out of the ability to use your product, and don't provide any easy way to unlock the note... ? Because.... you presumed that out of MILLIONS of users, nobody is going to share a note in real-time?... You have got to be kidding me?! And Ill add... I am a "Pro" customer too... Im paying for a monthly service here?! What really is the solution here, anyone know?

Teaching Sharing same note with multiple students
Teacher Chris posted a topic in EducationI have used Evernote for a few years as portfolios and for giving feedback. I have two 'Plus' accounts as I have set up a notebook for each of my 300+ students.These are shared with them individually via email address. This works fine for them to send work to me, and me to give individual feedback. It doesn't however work as well if i want to get the same information in form of a note to a whole class or year group, as I have to 'copy to notebook' for each individual student - up to 90 of them. I collect my notebooks into stacks for each class and would love to be able to copy to all notebooks in a stack, but I can't see that this is an option. How do the rest of you solve this issue which must be a very common need for teachers?
k-12 Editing Writing using Jot Script PenHey everyone! I'm trying to figure out how to use my evernote account and a jotscript pen to go paperless in my student workflow for a writing class. I've looked far and wide and still haven't found anybody doing (or at least written about) this option. Here is what I'd like to do: Option #1 Students send me an email to my evernote email. I then use a jotscript pen to edit their paper like I would if they gave me a written copy I send it back to their email for them to revise Option #2 - Do the same via a chat in evernote with students who have an evernote account. Anyone have any advice? Experience? My goal is to go as paperless as possible. I've tried this with my son and his evernote account but the workflow using penultimate was less than ideal. Thanks!
Teaching Teaching Evernote to my 7th Grader
Andybridgeeng posted a topic in EducationI have three kids, the oldest of which is going into the 7th grade next year. I think she's at an age where I need to start showing her how to use Evernote to be more productive at school. I've seen a few articles on how to show kids how to set up an account, but I haven't seen anything on how to take them to the next step. How do I start teaching her how to create notebooks, tag files, etc, etc... Thanks ahead of time for any help,
I use EN extensively for my Humanities class. One feature that is surprisingly missing is the ability to share a note and leave comments/feedback directly in the note without impacting the original note. Since we do a lot of writing and essays, etc. in my class, I would love the option to open their shared notes, highlight a sentence (for example), and add a comment complimenting them on how well they showed character traits in that one line. Instead, I have to totally alter their note, change the font color and/or add my initials, etc. to leave my comments. A simple but incredibly powerful comment function can be found in Google Docs. If EN implemented something like that, you're just one step closer to truly dominating this realm. Evernote can truly act as a "portfolio" in essence for students as they move from grade to grade. However, the sharing functionality, not to mention version history, is truly lacking. Yes, we can share some notes and notebooks. But the collaboration and discussion within the note is simply not there unless you want to totally edit the original note. This becomes rather clunky as my students read my feedback, make their changes, and eventually delete my comments so they're out of the way before publishing. Sure, I could have them create another "publishing" note but wow, talk about a missed opportunity for making it seamless for students and teachers. Think about it. A shared note with a history of comments/discussion regarding the contents, PLUS the ability to quickly review/compare different versions of the note over time. Parents, teachers, and students would flip if you could show that sort of growth/progression. Google has you beat here and I'd strongly suggest you take a look at how seamless this functionality is and simply copy.
teaching Lesson plansMy school principal would like to use EN for all teachers in his school. I created the general form the administration wants used each week. At this point we have the free account. Is it possible for him to set up notebooks for each teacher? Also, how will the teachers save their weekly lesson plans and keep the original form blank so they can use it again the following week without having to delete what they typed the previous week? We are trying to go paperless with lesson plans and this seems to be a really great program to use. Will we need a school account?
teaching ELT and Evernote: A Match Made in HeavenHi everyone, The other day I published a post on my ELT blog about how Evernote can help ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers. I'm actually quite surprised by how many hits I've gotten since yesterday! There are lots of useful tips on how you can increase your productivity as an ESL teacher and save on time (no more skimming through all those elt books), paper (you don't need to print, copy and scan endless worksheets) and, eventually, your nerves (no need to elaborate on that one if you're a teacher). Here's just one of the tips: Please let me know what you think! Thanks! L.
teaching Evernote and Google Form
Mrs.Ivette posted a topic in EducationHi! Can I insert a fully interactive Google Form inside a note or as a note itself?
teaching Sharing notebooks with parentsHi I am new to evernote and have inherited a system run by the previous teacher, who used evernote to make assessments and observations on children in his Early Years class. He helped me create a notebook for each child and I also have my own notebook, which acts as a default. At the moment we are taking photos of the class and filing their pictures and notes in each of their notebooks, using tags for which objectives these meet. So far, so good. I have upgraded to Premium and would like to know how I can share with parents their child's notebook. I was told by parents who used the system with the previous teacher that they would log on to evernote and they could view their child's notebook. How can I set this up? Thanks in advance for any advice.
teaching Advice for Using Evernote for High School Science NotebooksThere is a lot of great information in this Forum. I apologize if this is a little redundant, but I'm starting a new topic to seek some advice. I am looking to use Evernote in my High School Biology class. I teach in a 1:1 iPad district - every student has one. I have done this in the past - with great success, but tried something different this year with shared Google Folders (because my team used Google). But... I want to go back to using Evernote... We use another platform in our district (called Schoology) to push out documents, assessments, etc., so I'm not looking for those capabilities. I simply want to have access to my students' digital science notebooks. I originally tried having students share their notebooks with me (before I knew about the limit of 100 shared NBs). Here is what I did last year, with students and myself using the Free version of Evernote: students created account and notebookrather than sharing it with me directly, they shared it using the "Public Sharing Link"they copied and pasted that link into a Google Form that organized the entire class into a spreadsheet for mePros of Evernote: constant, 24/7 access to their notebook (as long as the live link stays open)students can easily insert pictures, tables, graphs, pdf's, etc, all of which can be edited with Skitch - this is perfect for a digital Lab notebookLimitations: the obvious limitation with the Free Version is that it is not collaborative with me or other students (Like a Google Doc would be)I've also had a couple of students that would somehow delete content that we could NOT figure out how to recover So... after all that... any suggestions? One big question I have: If I upgrade to a premium account, can I have collaborative access to 100+ notebooks? It's not an option to think students can or would upgrade.

Help with workflow: Teaching planningHi all, I have been using Evernote for the last few months as my teaching planner. I teach a 5 period day 5 days a week, I have a workflow that *nearly* works and am sure there must be a way to automate some of it, so thought I would ask! Firstly I have a set of notebooks - one for each class I teach, i.e. Class_1 Class_2 Class_3 I then have a notebook called weekly timetables, in this notebook I have a note for each week I teach. Each of these notes follows a template which contains my teaching timetable. i.e. A 5*5 table, with the name of each class in each cell. I then make a note for each lesson in the class notebooks, with a title that represents the date the lesson will be taught, and the name of the class: In class_1 notebook: 5/1/14 - Class_1 6/1/14 - Class_1 In class_2 notebook: 6/1/14 - Class_2 Lastly I then paste note links of these class notes into the weekly planner in the relevant cell. Once this is all set up I have a diary where I can click on the note link for any day to get a note relevant to that lesson in which I can do my planning. My problem is that setting all of this up takes a fair bit of time, and so I am liable to make mistakes. If anyone can understand what I am doing, can anyone suggest automated methods to improve the set up? Any ideas?
I have had some success using Evernote for a university-level history course. I would like to add an electronic discussion board for students to post and comment on each other's posts.

I had them join, so it worked well. My problem now is that in order to share a notebook now, I need to invite individual people and can't find a way to just make a public link that I send to my kids. Did something change? Do I really need to enter all 160 of my students emails?? Can anyone help; Am I missing something? Thanks, Bob

teaching Weekly Teacher Planner - specifically elementaryHas anyone used Evernote to do their weekly teacher planning? Or have you found another app that works well for Elementary teachers - as someone who does not necessarily teach the same things at the same time throughout the week...
Hi. I'm a tech-pedagogy support person to teachers. The school does not have an Evernote education account. A teacher wants her students to gather an online portfolio. I use EN extensively and know that potentially, EN is the perfect tool for her needs. I assume that if the teacher got a Premium Account, and created a folder for each of her 14 students, shared each with a student, then her students could create their individual portfolios, each shared with the teacher. The students would use a free account, the teacher a premium account. Is this the case? If we can do this, and it is a success, then there will no doubt be many other teachers wanting to do the same thing, and logically a case for a school account. If I have to, at this early, untried, point in time, ask for an official school EN account, or if students have to get a paid account I will be told to use One Note. Because the school PCs have One Note. So I am hoping my described set up will work. Please advise.

teaching Lesson PlansI would like to use Evernote for my lesson plans. I am using an evernote widget on my phone, Samsung S4. This works well on my computer, but when I view the notes for my lesson plans on my Android phone, they are not in order by date created. I created a notebook called lesson plans. I teach first grade and need to have an entry for each lesson that I teach - about 5 entries per day. I need them listed in order by day and in the sequence that I teach the lessons each day. I can list them on my computer by date created which I of course changed to the date and time that the lessons would be taught. I can choose to have the notes listed from most recent when viewing on the computer. This gives me the lessons in the sequence they are taught each day for the week. On my phone, I can view the notes by date created; however, they are in descending order. The end of the week is listed first. I have the widget set to view the Note list from the lesson plan notebook, so if they were in the correct order it would be perfect. I have found that I can create a tag for the notes with that day _Monday, then search in the lesson plan note book for notes with that tag and then save a short cut to my phone's home screen. But this seems a bit more work than should be needed. It would be better for the notes to be listed from most recent. I am surprised that this is not possible because I would think that even a business person would want to know her schedule in sequence from first thing in the morning to last rather than the last meeting first. Would like suggestions if anyone has them.

Comic coolness!
Whilst skulking about the net last night I stumbles across the holy grail of comic nerdery – Deep in the recesses of a cupboard, back at my parents house are the surviving artifacts from my ferocious comic collecting days. I keep meaning to bring the rest of them home with me whenever visit the folks.. but I forget to.
Anyway – last night, while searching for some images to use in a design that I'm working on, the google image search feature steered me to this page!
So, What is it? It's a complete bio of just about every character to have graced, or smashed, their way across the pages of a Marvel comic! Not only does it have a breakdown of the characters powers, but gives you all of their vital stats as well – weapons, strength, etc. They are all there too – from Hulk to Silver Surfer, the X-Men (cheap x-Crabs rip off) to the fantastic four.
How do I use this to waste my valuable time Elroy? Pfft, if your time were so vlauable you wouldn't be here right now! But I'll answer your question by explaining how I pissed half an hour up against the wall! Pick a character and pit them against another one: see how they mesure up by checking their stats against each other – then pit the winner against another, and another – you'll be old and senile before you know it! Just to get the ball rolling [read more] for my pick:
Real name: Galan
Occupation: Ravager of worlds
Group affiliation: None
Base of operations: Mobile
First appearance: Fantastic Four (Vol. 1) #48 (1966)
Height: 28'9″
Weight: 18.2 tons
Eye color: Unknown
Hair color: Black
Powers: Possessed of cosmic power far beyond human imagining, Galactus is able to rearrange matter, project force blasts, teleport vast distances and erect forcefields. A telepath, he can connect to any mind with which he comes in contact.

Disease Teams
Disease teams are expected components of the protocol review and monitoring system within NCI-designated cancer centers. Their function is to ensure cancer-related, hypothesis driven, patient-oriented clinical research studies are vetted for: (1) appropriateness given the UICC patient population and the current study portfolio (i.e., to ensure no overlapping studies), (2) clinical operational feasibility for activation and implementation, and (3) meeting UICC's clinical research priorities. Disease teams are also responsible for continuous evaluation of low accruing studies to determine the potential for closure. At UIC, all cancer-related, hypothesis-driven, patient-oriented clinical research studies conducted by the UICC must be reviewed and approved by an appropriate disease team, or the CTO Medical Director should an applicable disease team not be constituted, prior to Protocol Review Committee (PRC) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) review. To submit a study for disease team review, please email the study protocol to the disease team coordinator listed on the meeting schedule below or, if you are unsure about which disease team is appropriate, email the study protocol to the CTO Regulatory Manager, Erin Vidra, at email@example.com. For more information about UICC Disease Teams, see the UICC Disease Team Policy. For more information about the UICC protocol review and monitoring system, please click here. The membership composition and meeting schedule for UICC Disease Teams are available here.

Frequently Asked Questions
The International Geographical Union (IGU) is an international, non-governmental, professional organization devoted to the development of the discipline of Geography.
The purposes of the IGU are primarily to promote Geography through initiating and coordinating geographical research and teaching in all countries of the world. Its work is conducted through the instruments of its National Committees, Commissions and Task Forces.
The IGU hosts the International Geographical Congress every four years and also promotes regional conferences and other meetings that further of the objectives of the Union. The IGU also facilitates the participation of geographers in the global community of scientists through its formal affiliation as a Member Union within both the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC).
Formal 'membership' of the IGU is by affiliated countries only and represents the geographical community in that country as a whole (see section on IGU National Committees). Nevertheless, individual affiliation to the IGU is possible via one of its research Commissions.
Joining them is actually very easy; it is free and it is without any commitment. The IGU now has some 41 'Commissions' – these are groupings of geographers who are interested in particular elements of the discipline – say Climatology or Urban Geography or Population Geography. Each commission has its own steering committee and organises conferences and workshops (often around major IGU events but not always), distribute newsletters containing information related to the topic including of course the news of any upcoming meetings, and publish books and special issues of journals related to the topic.
Anyone can get involved with one or more of the commissions totally free of charge and without commitment- simply write an email to the appropriate commission chair and let them know you would like to be put on their list of corresponding members. You can find a full list of all the commissions with details of contact persons and their own website addresses etc. on the IGU home page – follow the links to 'Commissions'
Commissions and Task Forces are research bodies of the IGU that cover a very wide range of research topics within the discipline of Geography.
The IGU Statues includes a whole section which is concerned with the Commissions. These are the key points:
Background goals — Commissions shall be established for the
study of a specific problem or for the accomplishment of a task which requires international collaboration.
The mission — Commissions shall promote individual and group
research work, encourage the exchange of relevant documents and information, and organize conferences, meetings and, where appropriate, field excursions, both between Congresses and during International Geographical Congresses.
The establishment proposal — The establishment of a new Commission may be proposed by a member country or by the Executive Committee.
The approval of proposal — The approval of Commissions to examine defined geographical problems.
The management fulcrum — A Commission shall consist of a Chair and a Steering Committee normally consisting of not more than ten other members.
Reporting — Each Commission shall prepare a concise report on
its work which should be submitted to the Secretary-General for the Executive Committee at least nine months before the next ordinary meeting of the General Assembly.
Anyone can get involved with one or more of the commissions totally free of charge and without commitment- simply write an email to the appropriate commission chair and let them know you would like to be put on their list of corresponding members. You can find a full list of all the commissions with details of contact persons and their own website addresses etc. on the IGU home page – follow the links to 'Commissions'
The proposal for the establishment of a Commission should design the research body accurately, in such a way as to provide a comprehensive and clear view of the role that the body will play in the IGU scientific activity. Each Commission and Task Force is linked to the EC through a Vice-President, who serves as liaison person. The essential role of this Vice-President includes:
- helping the Commission and the Task Force to operate its programme;
- participating in the scientific events of these bodies;
- identifying possible linkage between Commissions and Task Forces;
- promoting the involvement of the Commissions and Task Force in international programmes and projects;
- providing any other useful collaboration and assistance.
The establishment procedure of a Commission includes three steps:
Step 1 — A proposal is developed initially by a National Committee or other appropriate grouping, including any person or persons that may be configured as pertaining to be a «country member», to the Executive Committee;
Step 2 — The proposal is evaluated by the Executive Committee and, where the existence of the required organisational and scientific requisites is checked and evaluated positively, the proposal is approved and, as a result, the Commission is established.
Further details on these procedures can be obtained from the Secretary-General and Treasurer
According to Paragraph II, B of the Statutes, applications for full membership «may be made through a committee for the IGU, a principal academy, a Research Council, or some other similar institution, or through scientific societies or an association of such institutions or societies, or, in special cases, through an appropriate government department».
The full member acquires the status of IGU National Committee, which includes the voting right in the General Assembly and by postal ballot. The application for full membership is to be addressed to The Secretariat (see the above co-ordinates).
The application should consist of the following sections:
1. Presentation of the body applying for full membership — This Section should aim at demonstrating that the applying body has the basic requisites required by the IGU Statutes, namely that of representing the national geographical community as a whole.
2. List of bodies and individuals which have joined the applying body — This section aims at showing how ample is the audience which the applying body benefit s from in the local framework.
3. Personal data and concise CVs of the persons designated to serve as President and Secretary of the National Committee — This section should show the scientific quality of those persons that are going to serve as liaisons between the local geographical context and the EC and General Assembly (GA).
4. The co-ordinates of the headquarters of the National Committee (address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail, URL) — This information should show that an essential organisational basis for interacting with the EC and GA is available.
5. The category of affiliation fee — which the National Committee, if established, intends to be included in.
Upon a proposal from the EC, the General Assembly decides about the candidacy to full membership.
Applying for associate membership
According to the IGU Statutes, the associate member consists of a group of geographers who are not provided by the requisites for applying for full membership but they are willing to make efforts towards this target. In order to help them to move towards the acquisition of the full status, no affiliation fee is required from and, as a consequence, no voting rights are attributed to, this second-rank category. Therefore the condition of associate member is transitory.
The application for associate membership must be addressed to the Secretariat.
The application should include:
- The presentation of the group of applying geographers, including the personal data (name, affiliation, address, telephone an d fax, e-mail and URL) of each of them;
- The description of the reasons and motivation which have induced the group to apply;
- The specification of the assistance that the IGU EC may provide to help the associate member to move towards the acquisition of the status of full member.
Upon a proposal from the EC, the General Assembly decides about the candidacy to associate membership.
This category of IGU membership consists of organisations, institutions and firms which give strong impetus, also from the financial side, to IGU. According to the IGU Statutes (Paragraph II, G)
«the dues for IGU Corporate Sponsorship shall be set at the time of admission and may be adjusted from time to time by the IGU Executive Committee».
Contact the Secretariat for further details
Geography is the discipline that attempts to explore how environments emerge by natural processes, how societies produce, organize, use and misuse environments, and how societies themselves are influenced by the environments in which they are located. Thus, geography aims to study both natural and human realms and their interactions, focusing on space, places, and regions, addressing and questioning both short-term and longer-term processes and their resultant patterns.
The contribution of geography to knowledge is in its focus on space and the environment as its principal notions of study. Since space is a basic dimension of both Nature and humanity, containing and related to numerous natural processes and human activities, geography provides integrating and holistic perspectives for phenomena and processes handled simultaneously by several other disciplines.
The contribution of geography to society is multifold: it provides people with a better understanding of the places, regions and countries in which they live, as well as of other countries and regions and of the planet at large. It further adds the spatial and integrative dimension and holistic perspective to various planning, forecasting and decision making processes.

PERMACULTURE: A Spiritual Approach by Craig Gibsone & Jan Martin Bang
Featuring Permaculture projects from the Findhorn Community and other ecovillages around the world.
Permaculture design as divine creative activity. Permaculture looks for the patterns embedded in our natural world as inspirations for designing solutions to the many challenges we are presented with today.
It is a philosophical, spiritual and practical approach to the use of the land, integrating microclimate, functional plants, animals, soils, water management and human needs into intricately connected, highly productive systems. In essence, permaculture uses observation as basis for creating sustainable and effective human settlements.
The authors discuss the components Earthshare, Fairshare and Peoplecare, with a specific emphasis on the spiritual aspects of the design process. Topics range from soil and plants, energy sources and house design to alternative economics, group process, governance, and spiritual nurturing and enquiry. Examples of existing permaculture structures from around the world, most notably from the Findhorn Community Eco-Village, bring the concepts to life. First-hand accounts of how people got started on their permaculture project lend a personal touch. The first book to look at the spiritual aspects as well as the practical implementation of permaculture design.
About the authors:
Australian-born Craig Gibsone has lived at the Findhorn Ecovillage since the early days of the community, witnessing many organic developements in this place. He is a permaculture and ecovillage designer and educator as well as a potter, and a highly respected elder of the Findhorn Foundation.
Jan Martin Bang is a freelance permaculture designer, teacher and author. Norwegian by birth, he grew up in England and in 1984, moved to Israel, where he was a cofounder of the Israeli Permaculture Assocation. In 2000, Jan moved to Camphill Solborg in Norway. he is an active member of the Norwegian Permaculture Association.

ECM Didactics
The Enterprise Content Management (ECM) training follows the Oxford Learning Model with engaging, impactful and live workshops with participative and challenging exercises. The elements of this methodology are:
- 3 Domains: development should engage participants at three levels emotionally (feeling the heart); logically (thinking the head) and practically (doing the hand)
- Transferability: delegates should always be able to see how the skills that they are developing can be used back at their workplace
- Memory: the design of the event and the activities within it should be memorable
- Measures: participants (and their organizations) should be able to measure the impact of the intervention
- 5 Senses: the activities within a development program should appeal to all 5 senses wherever possible, to stimulate a range of different responses
- Reflective Dialogue: activities are not effective unless there is a period of reflection built into a program, so that participants can reflect on their actions and plan how they would do things in future
- Transparency: AIIM encourages an environment of openness, trust and transparency no tricks, no reporting back unless agreed.
ECM Feedback
AIIMs training programs are essential to anyone in Information Management. Without up to date training, systems and programs are set up - but may be at risk, in the long run, if developed by the under trained. The Information Management Industry as a whole is developing at the speed of light, so even someone like myself (a 23 year veteran) needs to refresh their training and stay on top of technology and advancement in trends to understand how to apply it. AIIMs training programs provide this education.
TK Train, CRM, ECMp, MBA, Document Control Manager, Gambro
Enterprise records management or content management projects are comprised of cross functional teams with various backgrounds and specialties. It is important to the success of such projects that interdisciplinary teams develop a common lexicon and understanding of key concepts as fast as possible to enable collaboration. AIIMs educational curricula serve this need quickly and excellently.
Jayne Bellyk, RIM Program Manager, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP
Kodak clearly understands the value of the AIIM ECM courses. Our sales team uses this knowledge often as we support our document imaging resellers in their sales processes.
Todd LeVeque ECMp CDIA+, Director - US Channel Sales, Document Imaging - Graphic Communications Group, Eastman Kodak Company
The AIIM ECM training course provides an extremely comprehensive platform related to the enterprise content management industry and the technologies that support and drive it. The materials are thorough, up-to-date and well presented. I would recommend the course to both vendors and customers of ECM solutions.
