NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Following the Notre Dame men's tennis team's first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Irish players seniors Greg Andrews and Ryan Bandy and sophomore Quentin Monaghan have been named to the 2014 All-ACC Academic Men's Tennis Team.
"Congratulations to Greg, Ryan and Quentin on receiving this distinction," says head coach Ryan Sachire. "Being a member of the All-ACC Academic Team is a fantastic honor, and it is simply more recognition of the great work that these three guys did this past year."
To be eligible for consideration for the All-ACC Academic Team, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career. Eleven ACC schools are represented on this year's All-ACC Academic Team, led by Virginia Tech with four honorees. Duke, Notre Dame and Virginia had three representatives each, while Clemson, Florida State and Miami had two members apiece. Boston College, North Carolina, NC State, and Wake Forest rounded out the field with one each.
Andrews graduated from the Mendoza College of Business with a major in accounting this spring while serving as captain of the squad and playing No. 1 singles and doubles. Next year, he will be back at Mendoza working toward his Masters of Science in Accountancy.
Bandy also graduated from the Mendoza College of Business this spring with a major in management consulting. He served as a crucial link in the lineup this spring at No. 2 singles, and he has already begun his career at PNC National Bank in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Monaghan also majors in management consulting in Mendoza. He consistently played at No. 3 singles this spring, and it was his victory of Stefan Lindmark of Ole Miss that clinched Notre Dame's advancement to the NCAA Sweet 16.

Home goods retailer Wayfair.com has joined forces with Quill a B2B office provider, to offer a selection of home and office products on Quill.com, according to a press release.
Brad Johnson, senior director of business development for Wayfair.com said in an interview that the company made the deal so it can be the one-stop home and office shop for Quill's customers.
Johnson said they launched on Quill with a small number of products, but plans to launch 100,000 products by the end of 2013. Both the Wayfair and Quill teams plan to get to this number as quickly as possible.
Products fulfilled by Wayfair.com range from office furnishings, small appliances, exercise equipment and outdoor furniture, according to a press release.
Sergio Pereira, vice president of merchandising for Quill.com, said its customers in general have become more savvy online shoppers.
"Our customers are expecting one stop shopping for greater convenience. [Customers] would like to consolidate their purchases and have fewer suppliers," said Pereira. "This type of partnership is being driven by the customer's expectations that their primary provider of office products will have a much broader assortment than it did in the past."
Wayfair currently has partnerships with other merchants including, Sears, Best Buy and Tesco, and marketplaces such as Amazon, EBay and Rakuten.
According to Johnson, using Wayfair's extensive catalog, it is working with Quill to identify the classes of products most appealing to Quill's customer base.
Johnson said, as expected, sales for Wayfair through July 1 were small. He said both sides are pleased from a customer experience standpoint and are working on expanding the selection. Right now the focus is on integration.
"This is the first time Quill has worked with an outside company. We find from a flexible integration standpoint, the company invested well," said Johnson. "It has been a pretty seamless experience and bodes for future growth."
Pereira said while items will have some Wayfair branding, it will primarily be a Quill product assortment.
"The experience of the customer will be pretty fluid, it will pretty much look like everything else," said Pereira.
Pereira said this partnership has significant benefits and allows the company to serve business on a broader basis that is relevant across many industries.
Quill plans to promote the partnership through email, print and web ads. Promotions of the partnership will be ramped up through the next year, according to Pereira.
Pereira said that while Quill is focused on the Wayfair execution at the moment, they will be considering other possibilities with partnerships that are not covered by this one.
"Our focus right now is the Wayfair partnership and succeeding with it," said Pereira.
Pereira said Quill.com has been making changes over the last year to make online shopping more convenient to shoppers. Last year the company added free shipping with no minimum cost.
"This is the second step we're taking for the benefit of our customers," said Pereira of the partnership with Wayfair.

We love learning more about our makers, their motivations and their ethical practices. Today in our Makers Corner, we have the pleasure of introducing a fellow local maker of tote bags, pins, tea towels, May Glen.
What is your link to Tottenham, Haringey?
I live in Haringey and in my spare time help run weekend and private workshops as a tutor for Tottenham Art Classes. When I can, I enjoying coming to the life drawing classes at the Beehive Pub that Tottenham Art Classes run on Thursday evenings.
What inspired you to became a maker or, please describe the making/designing process?
I did a lino printing taster course a couple of years ago and have been doing it ever since. It's a process that is very accessible and you can do it from home without any large-scale equipment. I make my prints at home on our small dining table and find it an enjoyable contrast to my day-job spent at a computer.
What is it like owning your own business or like many, juggling multiple jobs?
I work full-time and make lino prints and illustrated products in my spare time. I don't get the opportunity to spend as much time as I would like on it so my progress is slower than I would like, but it means I always have something in the pipeline to look forward to working on when I get the chance.
How are your products sustainable?
All of my lino and printed cards are printed onto recycled card and come with recycled envelopes, and all the protective cellophane sleeves are actually made of plant-starch and are completely compostable. My tote bags are made of high-quality organic cotton and along with my tea-towels are produced sustainably in the UK.

Recently, the professional Mini PC tech blog Mini PC News has reviewed ACEPC AK1 and many other models, like HP Pavilion 510-p030 Desktop. The comparison is to help people know more before they make a buying decision. Now, Some hot mini desktop for programming – mini PC for developers are recommended. Check here: http://www.minipcnews.com/best-mini-pc-for-coding-2017-2018/
"Let's dig deeper to find a real competition for ACEPC AK1 and I think the HP Pavilion 510-p030 Desktop can be the one. HP is a well-known brand and you should probably know that they are renowned to make high-end stuff. Therefore, ACEPC AK1 mini pc vs HP Pavilion 510-p030 Desktop can break the ongoing run of AK1 in such featured battles." John from Mini PC News says.
He states, "Our top experts will help you find best cheap mini PC for coding and programming. Programming can be rewarding and fruitful but if you do not have the right equipment, it can become a very frustrating experience. You will not need to cough out a lot of money to find the best mini PC for coding. We have one for every budget. For instance, if you have a budget of 500 dollars, we have a programmer-centric mini PC for that. But we do have few cheap mini PCs on this list that deliver great performance."
HP Pavilion 510-p030 Desktop
HP Pavilion 510-p030 Desktop has powerful i7 quad core processor and 12GB DDR4 RAM that makes it a very fast computer. While other towers have been standing still, HP has shaken up the category. From its eye-catching design and smaller footprint, to full performance and reliability, this HP Pavilion is the best thing to happen to towers in over 20 years. Check Price and More.
Acer Aspire Desktop
The Acer Aspire desktop is the best mini PC for coding and programming. It has everything one would need to do development efficiently. You get whopping 2TB hard disk which is ideal for storing those heavy projects and graphics. Powering this little mini PC is the latest 7th generation i5 processor that goes upto 3.5GHz under turbo boost mode. Pair that with 8GB RAM and you have an effective multitasker in front of you. Despite being so small, Acer has managed to squeeze in a DVD drive and seven USB ports into it. This is easily the best mini PC for developers. Check Price and More.
ACEPC AK1 Mini PC
Performance wise, the AK1 is probably best suited for light video watching or day to day web browsing and e-mails. The main purpose of the AK1 isn't supposed to be a power house gaming machine but more of an almost portable machine capable of normal web browsing and computer usage. Web browsing is just as quick as using my main Intel i7 desktop, although sites that have a lot of active content like embedded video take slightly longer to fully load. Check Price and More.

We are having a meal at our favourite restaurant; enjoying our time together. Atmosphere is very relaxed; we are sitting next to each other, holding hands and kissing from time to time.
After the meal we leave to go back to the house. You're driving your red Ferrari; I'm gently stroking your inner thigh knowing what we both want as soon as we get home.
We arrive at the house; you park right at the front. You get out first and I'm taking a bit longer, so you come over to my side, helping me out and shutting the door behind me. Suddenly you pull me closer to you and kiss me passionately without saying anything.
We carry on kissing more intensely unable to control ourselves. You push me hard against the side of the car and press harder on me as our kisses get more and more intense; I can feel your already hard cock pressed against my body. My hands wonder all over you trying to feel every bit of your body. We both know that we can't wait and want each other there and then, without wasting any time.
Your hands grab my breasts through my dress groping and feeling them, feeling my nipples getting harder and harder. One of your hands slides down my side, then onto my ass feeling it through my dress, grabbing and squeezing my ass cheeks.
Then moving down again onto my thigh and towards the front, gently scratching my inner thigh and moving up towards my pussy. You can feel my wetness through my thong, still kissing my lips deeply and passionately, you just pull my thong down and it drops on the ground.
We understand each other without saying anything and still kissing we start moving slowly towards the front of the car as we both know what will happen and what we want. Suddenly you turn me around, my back is facing you now; you push me forward so my front is resting on the bonnet of the car, I spread my legs. You come very close behind me; one hand touches me underneath, feeling my breasts and erect nipples.
I feel your other hand going up my thigh, my inner thigh and between my legs.
Spreading my legs further I feel you fingers going from my ass all the way to my clit feeling my wetness, spreading my lips and teasing me. Without warning you enter 2 fingers inside my pussy with ease, slowly moving them in and out as I start to moan gently.
I can feel your fingers inside me, pushing further and further, fucking me as I feel my pussy walls becoming more and more sensitive with your every move. I moan with pleasure wanting more and more, so desperate to cum, but you withdraw suddenly grabbing me and turning towards you, placing your fingers inside my mouth letting me taste my own juices; kissing me at the same time so we both can taste it.
My hands start unzipping your trousers quickly wanting your large hard cock inside me. You help me to take them off and your boxers too exposing your large cock. I grab it with one hand and kneel in from of you, place the tip in my mouth, with one hand gently touching and caressing your swollen balls and with other gently massaging the base of your cock whilst I suck on it.
My lips wrapped around your cock carry on sucking it, my tongue flicking around the tip and tasting your pre-cum. Your hands grab hold of my head and hair and you start pushing yourself harder and deeper inside my mouth. I squeeze my lips even harder on your hard cock as you carry on fucking my mouth. But I know that I want you to cum inside me so we can orgasm together, you want it too.
Because we understand each other without saying anything, you pull me up suddenly and kiss me again. Locking our lips, our tongues are playing with each other, licking and exchanging saliva. You look deeply into my eyes and gently rest me on the bonnet of the car. I lift and spread my legs in the air knowing what will happen next. And you enter with ease inside my warm pussy. Your arms hold on my arms as you carry on moving your large hard cock inside my wet dripping pussy, fucking me gently to start but speeding up with every move.
I moan louder and louder with pleasure whilst we carry on kissing deeply and harder now, looking into each other's eyes.
You speed up your movement, fucking me faster and deeper now, filling my entire pussy from inside with your huge cock. My hands find their way underneath your shirt feeling and touching your hot body, clawing your back very gently and pushing you further inside me. I can feel you hard cock right now, thrusting inside me, teasing my pussy walls, massaging them and pleasuring me.
I want to cum so badly with you right now; I'm moaning louder and louder, talking for the first time, almost shouting "oh yes David, fuck me, fuck me hard, I want to cum with you".
So you speed up even further pushing hard and deep inside me, faster and faster, harder and even deeper. You can feel you are about to cum when I look deeply into your eyes and shout "oh yes David; I'm cuming now, oh YES!!! I scream when I claw your back harder feeling my pussy contracting hard on your cock unable to control myself.
You push inside me really hard feeling my orgasming pussy squeezing your cock; you are cuming now too, moaning and filling my pussy with your hot cum. I feel my pulsating pussy walls mixing our juices together as you gently slow down massaging me inside with your cock, slowing down with every move, gentler and slower; still kissing me and looking deep into my eyes, smiling and happy.
You withdraw and all the juices leak out on to the bonnet of your car; we get dressed roughly and go inside, holding each other closely, kissing gently. Happy.

As a young clinical social worker, I worked in the for profit sector, starting as a direct clinician and moving rapidly into management. It twisted my brain and opened to me a whole new world of idealism-smashing experiences.
Going to social work school, getting an MSW, doing internships… these were easy choices for me. Having majored in psychology, I knew that if I wanted to make a decent living, I would need a master's degree. I knew I wanted to improve the world, to help under-served, marginalized, exploited, suffering people. I had a knack for talking to people and I developed that knack into a professional identity: MSW! LCSW!
I was quickly recruited.
Working at a for-profit sector health-services organization really threw me for a loop. As a clinician, I was pressed to make the company more money. The company was primarily answerable to investors and shareholders who cared little about the people working on the ground floor and the people they were helping. We were selling a service, sure, but the ultimate goal was profit for investors. The disconnection between senior management, and the actual work of helping people was devastating. I was promoted to management because I was good at my job; however I soon found that I was caught between my values/ethics and what the company wanted.
It is my firm belief that the profit motive and social work are at odds with one another. My clients were those most negatively impacted by our capitalist society. Working with them, helping them, I was part of the sector that had produced so many of their problems.
I was constantly confronted with systematic obstacles, such as how do you help someone get what they need if they don't have health insurance? Sure, there is the Affordable Care Act – but quite frankly, it just mandates enrollment into the profit-making system of healthcare. At the end of the day, I concluded that we need "Medicare for all". We need to get the money out of healthcare. Then we can do the real work of social work.
Not-for-profit agencies may be best for you. It's a tough world we live in, and we are all trying to make sense of it, including the helpers. Scrutinize the websites. Do some research into who owns the company. Don't be drawn into a bigger wage or bonus if it compromises your ethics. I did, and I quit. You came into clinical social work to help, right?

Southern Girl Secret #060: "There are only two reasons someone new comes into your life: They're either gonna be a blessin' or a lesson." WAR AND PEACH, the newest release in the Georgia Peach Mystery series by Susan Furlong, is chock-full of fun tidbits like this at the beginning of each chapter. Each "secret" while cute, also has a ring of truth to it that I so enjoyed! Susan has created a tight-knit Georgia peach farming family for the feisty protagonist, Nola Mae Harper. No matter what troubles they find themselves in, they know they have the full support of each other. In WAR AND PEACH, Nola's daddy, Raymond, finds himself in the cross-hairs of the vengeful Sheriff Maudy Payne when she suspects him in the murder of his rival, Clem Rogers. Nola Mae has never understood the antagonistic nature between the two men but as she starts digging into the past to clear her daddy's name, she uncovers secrets that both her parents have tried hard to keep buried. Despite the circumstantial evidence that is found, she has trust that she will find the truth and her daddy will be exonerated.
Susan Furlong also deftly explores the prejudices Southerners and Northerners have for each other… or any "newcomer". Apropos for the current events going on in our world today and will hopefully make a reader give pause to consider while at the same time being entertained. The story has a strong plot with several subplots intertwined which connect at the shocking reveal…I just didn't see it coming! With plenty of suspects to keep the reader guessing I had a very difficult time pausing to take notes for this review and it was nearly impossible to put down to attend to other commitments.
Nola Mae has also just opened her peach shop, Peachy Keen. I adored the clever and humorous names she created for her gift baskets and I want to order some of them! Thankfully, the author includes a few recipes at the back of the book so some of her treats can be recreated at home. Susan has graciously allowed me to share her own mother's recipe for Ginny Wiggins's Perfect Peach Cake. Using a boxed cake mix as the base, a few simple pantry and dairy ingredients are added, resulting in a delicious, beautiful dessert! I love knowing that this is an old family recipe and I always like having recipes that riff on boxed cake mixes on hand. Thanks to my granddaughter, Emory, for making this cake for our family!
Amazon Synopsis
Nola Mae Harper is too busy restocking the jars of preserves and chutney flying off the shelves of her shop, Peachy Keen, to keep up with all the gossip about the upcoming mayoral election, but she does know the debate is sure to be a real barn burner.
Local farmer Clem Rogers claims he has a bombshell that could take small business owner Margie Price out of the running. But before Clem can reveal his juicy secret at the debate, his actual barn goes up in flames—with him inside of it. The town casts its vote against Margie, but Nola isn't convinced the hardworking woman is capable of murder. Now to clear Margie's name Nola will have to work fast under pressure, before Margie gets taken in by the fuzz…
A huge thank you to Susan Furlong for providing the choice of any book from her Georgia Peach Mystery series: WAR AND PEACH; REST IN PEACH; or PEACHES AND SCREAM for one lucky winner! Contest ends Monday, February 13, 2017 at 11:59 pm PST. Please use the Rafflecopter box located below the recipe to enter. The winner will be announced on this page and on Cinnamon & Sugar's Facebook page, as well as notified by email (so check your spam folder!)
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup, divided
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F).
- Lightly butter and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- Drain 1 can of peaches and discard the syrup.
- Arrange peach slices evenly on the bottom of the Bundt pan and set aside.
- With an electric mixer, beat together oil, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and the remaining can of peaches with syrup and any leftover peaches from the first can.
- Add the cake mix and continue to beat the mixture until it's smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately one hour, or until cooked through.
- Cool completely.
- After cooled, loosen cake from the sides of the pan and invert onto a cake plate.
- *Hattie's version: For a little extra kick, Hattie likes to substitute the peach syrup in the batter with 1/4 cup of Peach Jack or dark rum.
Pin to Pinterest:
If you receive my blog post via email you will need to visit my website to view the video.
** If you read the recipe then watched the video you will notice Emory and I didn't follow the directions exactly. Somehow we both missed the part where you beat everything together EXCEPT the cake mix, then add the mix in…lol! No worries though, it turned out super yummy anyway!
I received a copy in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

|At the youthful age of 50 years I had realised
that I was not reading as much as I used to do.
essay typer
I ascribed this at first to being so busy writing my own stuff to not have either the time or the inclination to read the scratchings of other - lesser - mortals.
I would fall asleep within a single page when reading in bed. This I put down against the usually fearful weight of booze uploaded daily, from the first refreshing icy-cold beer in the midday swelter at lunchtime to the final tot o' rum in the nocturnal hot chocolate.
It was due, of course, to the fading of my near distance vision, which caused reading to become so unconsciously - but very effectively - tiresome. And so I consulted an optician and got the oculars overhauled and was presented with a script for a pair of cheaters (as Damon Runyon used to call them) for reading .
Feeling - as I always do - the neccessity to not look like a total prat, if at all possible, I selected a pair of wire-rimmed look-overs - I think that's what they are called. The intellectual look. There were no pinz-nez anywhere to be had, which I would have loved! (Wearing two monocles at once sort-of cheapens the image, loses the plot, I think.) The lenses are wonderful to read through, but the distortion of my peripheral vision whenever I move my head is quite disconcerting. I just hope I get used to it - it tends to unbalance me. I fall over quite enough from the drink as it is.
Anyhow, the whole thing was just an excuse to put more pictures of myself on the web.
What do you think of your man below - is this character an inter-letch-you-all, or what?
(I am available for the conferring upon of Honorary Doctorates of Philosophy, Literature, and suchlike from the better class of university. Fees on application.)

Indian Summer
Adalbert Stifter (1805–1866) was one of the greatest stylists of German literature. He began his career in the spirit of Austrian Biedermeier by writing stories for the bourgeois reading public. The theme of these stories, which first appeared in popular journals and almanacs, was often the humanization of the elemental. Stifter later thoroughly revised these works, which led to their publication in his Studien of 1844–50 and Bunte Steine of 1853. After the revolutionary upheavals of 1848, Stifter distanced himself from contemporary trends. Der Nachsommer (Indian summer), the first great work of his later period, depicts an idyllic world in which the traditions of classical antiquity are linked with medieval romanticism in a utopian antithesis to the urban civilization of Stifter's time. The Bavarian State Library acquired the long-lost manuscripts of Der Nachsommer, Bunte Steine, and seven stories from the Studien in 1964. The manuscripts offer new insights into the work of Stifter as a stylist, and their reappearance led to the publication of a new historico-critical collected edition of his works.

The decision by the UK's Tory government to put a hold on approval for the world's biggest single energy investment – the Hinkley C nuclear plant – may have less to do with concerns about the potential role of Chinese state companies and more to do with the realisation that new nuclear is a horrendously expensive boondoggle.
The fact that the cost of wind and solar is falling and the cost of nuclear is moving in the opposite direction is of little surprise to anyone involved in the energy markets, even if the nuclear industry and its supporters wish it were not so. But it is news, apparently, to the Tories.
New data uncovered from a previously unheralded National Audit Office report shows that the UK government is now advised that the cost of wind and solar could be around half that of new nuclear by 2025 – between £50-£75/MWh compared to between £80 and £125/MWh for nuclear.
The Guardian reported that previous forecasts, made in 2010 and 2013, showed that the two renewable technologies were expected to be more expensive than nuclear or around the same cost by the time that Hinkley was built. This is the first time the government has shown it expects renewables to be a cheaper option.
The Hinkley Point nuclear project has already blown out in costs and relies on significant government guarantees and subsidies over and above the £92.50/MWh tariff it promises to pay should it ever get built. That tariff then rises with inflation over the course of the 35-year contract, meaning it could more than double in price by 2050, even as the cost of wind and solar fall even further.
"The [energy] department's forecasts for the levelised cost of electricity of wind and solar in 2025 have decreased since 2010. The cost forecast for gas has not changed, while for nuclear it has increased," the NAO said, with a degree of understatement. The detailed energy department findings have yet to be released.
The assessment is important because the UK, like Australia, is facing major decisions about its generation fleet over the next decade. Unlike Australia, the UK has decided to end coal-fired generation within a decade, and for the last two months the amount of solar production has beaten that of coal production.
Before the Brexit vote, the UK Tories had appeared entirely smitten by new nuclear, despite the evident folly of the project, which had not just blown out in cost from £16 billion to £24.5 billion, but because of the falling price of wholesale electricity, would require a lifetime subsidy of £29.7 billion compared to original estimates of £6.1 billion.
As Bridget Woodman from the University of Exeter wrote recently, accommodating Hinkley meant that the UK government had to essentially redesign the electricity market over the past few years in an effort to create a situation where investment in a new plant looked attractive.
"Pretty much every major policy design has been geared towards creating a perfect environment for Hinkley Point C. That's why it's such a surprise to see the government has now stepped back – a bit – from the brink," she wrote.
And what the UK government was proposing to build was in sharp contrast to what is being recommended. The head of National Grid, for instance, had last year called for a complete rethink about the nature of energy systems.
"The idea of baseload power is already outdated," he told Energy Post.
"I think you should look at this the other way around. From a consumer's point of view, baseload is what I am producing myself. The solar on my rooftop, my heat pump – that's the baseload.
"Those are the electrons that are free at the margin. The point is: this is an industry that was based on meeting demand. An extraordinary amount of capital was tied up for an unusual set of circumstances: to ensure supply at any moment. This is now turned on its head."
Those thoughts are now being echoed by other experts. David Elmes, the head of Warwick Business School Global Energy Research Network, wrote in the UK edition of The Conversation that the UK had painted itself into a corner, and needed to get over the idea that megaprojects were the solution to everything.
"Instead, it should think of a new mix between smaller and larger, be more joined up in considering consumption as well as supply and think more decentralised than central. That expands the industries, companies, institutions and government departments involved."
This has important implications for Australia, whose official energy blue-print, apart from ignoring climate change, appears fixated with a fascination for nuclear energy and large centralised power plants.
It's an idea that the coal generators are happy to go along with, even encourage, because it necessitates a push-back against the decentralised energy that is now emerging as an obviously cheaper and cleaner alternative to the current business models, and promises to extend the life of their assets.
Slowly, however, it is dawning on more and more conservative politicians that the smaller, distributed energy is the smartest way forward. Not just because solar, particularly in Australia, offers the cheapest technology, but because in combination with storage and smart technology it can offer an alternative to the centralised, gold-plated networks that account for half of consumer electricity bills.
The recent price surge in gas and the concentration of market power that transferred this cost, and a whole lot more, to wholesale electricity prices, particularly in South Australia, means that distributed energy is becoming an increasingly attractive option, because it also adds to competition.
That puts South Australia at the forefront of how Australia proposes to move forward. It has dabbled with the idea of nuclear power, it has suffered from the forces of a powerful oligopoly. Its consumers are being burnt by retailers.
What it and other states need most is a long-term vision for the future, and to not fall into the trap of power system security, which is usually just a euphemism for the status quo. This Friday's meeting of state and federal energy ministers will give us a taste of whether this is possible or not.

FRISCO -- Despite affecting nearly 15 million Americans, depression is one of those illnesses that's hard to understand unless you've experienced it yourself.
But it's something 17-year-old Skyler Hunter knows all too well.
"When I was 13 I went into a depression," Skyler told NewsFix. "I went through that for about two to three years. Ultimately what brought me out of that was my music, music was my outlet."
Last week, he released a new song about his struggles, called "Raise Me Up." (available on Spotify / iTunes)
"I write and produce all of my music," he said. "I play all of the instruments, I record everything myself."
Yeah, he's a one-man band. Though he did have help from friends on the mixing and mastering, and on the music video, which takes place largely underwater.
"I really liked the water," said Hunter, "Because it's like you're drowning in yourself, you're drowning in your own emotions."
The timing of the song's release is no coincidence. September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day.
According to Skyler: "I wanted to share my story in hopes that other people can be impacted by that."
The musician hopes his story, and his song, can raise awareness and help fight the stigma around depression.
"I think if we were more accepting and more aware that it's such a big issue in our society, people would get so much more help."

Book Review: "Higher Ed" by Tessa McWatt
As is typical with a lot of multistory novels, there were plot threads I enjoyed more than others. Francine was a complex and interesting character struggling in the wake of the accident she witnessed. Her story arc comes to a satisfying close at the end of the book. Similarly, Olivia's journey from uncertainty to self discovery is engaging, and sections which focus on her father, Ed are especially warm and tender. McWatt captures the total and complete love a parent has for a child in a very moving manner.
The book is not only about the characters though, and confronts a host of timely themes such as austerity Britain and the way people cope with the potential for redundancies, EU immigration is dealt with via Katrin's storyline and her struggles to make ends meet in order to facilitate her mother's move to the UK. Perhaps most interestingly though, as Olivia's final dissertation leads her to the funerals of the many lonely souls in the city, people who had no one, I could not help but feel the author was touching on the isolation which can occur in a city such as a London.
Higher Ed is a warm and serious novel with some likeable characters who are all in search of the right way to live. Thanks to Scribe Publishers for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

There's a pointed quote in George Packer's mostly negative New Yorker profile of hi-tech financier Peter Thiel: "The libertarian worship of individual freedom, and contempt for social convention, comes easiest to people who have never really had to grow up."
While Packer's observation may apply to Thiel and certain other self-made one-percenters, it doesn't seem fair to paint with this brush the libertarians I know, who are regular middle-class folks of an entrepreneurial bent.
But then I thought: Do we have to be fair to libertarians?
Fairness doesn't figure much in their philosophy, whether it's economic fairness or Rawlsian "justice as fairness." Margaret Thatcher said that "there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families." Absent a society, who or what can arbitrate what's fair? (Rawls, by contrast: "Without the ideas of society and person, conceptions of the right and the good have no place.")
Yet fairness seems to be a deep-rooted human value. What does a small child wail when feeling slighted? "It's not fair!!!"
The catchphrase of Fox News, albeit a frequently mocked one, is "Fair and Balanced," suggesting a journalistic deference to the ideal of treating all sides equally.
A poll about the tough new immigration law in Alabama "finds Alabamians sharply divided over the [law's] fairness."
And President Obama practically wallowed in the fairness trope earlier this month, telling an audience, "We are greater together when everyone engages in fair play, everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share." A Washington Post reporter counted 15 mentions of the term "fair" or "fairness" in the speech.
While in partisan discourse the idea of fairness often gets conflated with accusations of socialism and the like, it's still baked into American governance; witness the name of a bill just passed almost unanimously by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives abolishing a percentage quota that set unequal immigration barriers for IT workers from different countries. The title: "The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act."
Seems while there are a lot of immigrants we don't want, those we do should get a "fair" shot at entry.
A Fox Business column today delivered a red-state call for fairness. "Everyone running for president has been talking about what's fair in this country," writes David Asman in "How About What's Fair for the Middle Class?" "The Democrats claim that the rich aren't paying their fair share. Republicans say that it's not fair to burden small businesses with an even higher tax load…How about the folks in the middle?…A system in which public servants are paid a lot more than the taxpayers who fund them is not only unfair…it's unsustainable."
Everywhere we look we find a yearning (or at least a yawping) for fairness – everywhere, that is, except in the libertarian camp. In a classic All in the Family episode, Archie Bunker demanded equal time and appeared on the local news. That happened under the FCC's old "fairness doctrine," which met its demise under President Reagan. To quote a poorly written but strongly worded libertarian blog post: "The Libertarian ideology utterly opposes the mislabeled 'fairness doctrine' and urges you to protect your freedom by joining it."
Joining the ideology, they mean. Not the doctrine.

Heralding in "The Second Coming of Christ"
By Raymond Ronald Karczewski© — A Living Christ
Millions of Christians are awaiting "The Second Coming of Christ." But what is it that they await?
Born into a world of struggle, strife, violence and exploitation, they only KNOW what they KNOW, what they have been taught, what they have been led to believe and such knowledge promises, but seldom delivers them from a consciousness that remains caught within the extreme opposites of Heaven and Hell, Duality itself.
In short their programming, their conditioning into the realm of Intellectual dualistic thought takes place shortly after infancy and for the vast majority follows them to their graves, never knowing what life was all about. Never understanding who they were and their reason for living.
Through years and years of conditioning, They have been made to doubt themselves, to defer to others to do their thinking for them, to seek security in the hands of others who seem smarter, more proficient in areas they perceive themselves to lack.
Who were their teachers? Who are their teachers? Were. Are they not one's parents, one's friends, acquaintances, Associates, government and religious leaders, exploitive technical experts who do their thinking for them for a fee?
Can you see what happens to such people? Can you see what has happened to you? Can you put a word to it? I Can! You have been MIND CONTROLLED.
The words, the ideas, the visions, the desires which occupy your mind are merely wispy fantasies, until they are acted upon and then created as reality in your lives. But who is doing your thinking for you. Who is motivating you toward a distinct and recogniseable reality? Is it You? For most, unfortunately NOT!
I have spent the last 18 years on the Internet writing about this Age old Secret which has enslaved man, and I have done so to a hostile audience, to a fearful audience, to an audience reluctant to enter into inquiry, but quick toward attack and derision. To numbers of people who have been conditioned to believe in fantasies, Myths, graven images, all forms of superstition and the like, all because their conditioned intellect does not, will not allow for them to go beyond the hellish limitations the Satanic ruled Intellect has set for itself.
Look at the world today? Check out the headlines. Do you still have your homes, your jobs, your families, your freedom, your sanity? You, each of you have created the world you now live in by virtue of the quality of your consciousness, a consciousness overwhelmed by remote controlling Satanic Conditioning which holds you captive to the Intellectual realm of consciousness. Even your views of Christ are Satanic in nature for they are but limited thoughts which remote sources have conditioned into you.
Truth stands alone. It does not require support of any kind. Truth is "What Is". However, the "idea" of Truth is not Truth, is it?
The idea of God is not GOD, is it?
The simple fact is that GOD is Truth, wholistic, Eternal. GOD is Supreme Intelligence manifest in the Eternal Moment of Now, and GOD can only be accessed via DIVINE AWARENESS, DIRECT PERCEPTION OF TRUTH,
The Idea of God is SATANIC, for it is partial in nature, dualistic and opposing in nature, it is a dead, aftermoment-based counterfeit reflection of that which is irreplicatable, which is wholistic, but is pummelled repetitively into your undiscerning consciousness, you pliant sponge-like intellect from costumed men speaking from pulpits in parables to you because your intellect is not wired for Truth, but is fascinated by stories of impossibilities which are believed to be true, yet cannot be manifested in the lives of civilized human beings.
A sure formula for the creation of doubt, for the enslavement of man, is it not?
Examine yourselves. Have your beliefs set you free, or have they enslaved you? Have they robbed you of your lifeforce, your energy, your very God-given Sovereignty?
The answer is self-evident for you are awaiting "THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST" the messiah, the one who will set you free.
Why do you worship dead ideas of a fantasy Christ rather than actually listen to and observe the energy of a Living Christ, a simple man a Truth.
Why do you deny your own Christhood (a potential holistic consciousness transcendent of a fragmented, dualistic, opposing Intellect)?
If any of you wish to satisfy your curiousity as to the veracity of my living Christhood, visit my website http://www.arkenterprises.com and links.
Pay close attention to your reactions to what you read, for that is your true spiritual teacher. It will, for most of you appear in the form of outrage, anger, and hurt, for that is the pain of your own illusions resisting exposure to the simple Truth. Few of you will directly understand what I say, because your limited Intellect cannot process that which lies beyond the Intellect's limitations.
Read the evidence of a simple man of Truth, a Christ STANDING DOWN the courts of Oregon and Josephine County. Yes, God has given them the power over the common man in order to test the spiritual mettle of such people, but they, the institutionally satanic ruled courts have NO POWER over a simple Man of Truth.
All you need do is enter with an open mind and withstand the fireworks which necessarily follows.
This has been my Gift to you. The Gift of Truth. Do with it as you will.

One of the reasons why I like Ubuntu is its simple usage. Most stuff works out-of-the-box or is configurable pretty easy. So it's also pretty easy to compile your own kernel.
The reason I wanted to build my own kernel were some issues with the amdgpu graphics card. Since Kernel 4.15 AMD has pushed it's recent open-source drivers upstream, so I wanted to give it a try.
In a nutshell
In principle you have to follow those simple steps
- MAKE SURE GRUB HAS A TIMEOUT so you can select an old kernel, in case something went wrong
- Download kernel sources from kernel.org
- Extract the sources into a directory and change into that directory
- Copy current configuration from /boot/config-
uname -rto .config
- Check current configuration using make localmodconfig
- Compile using make [-j8]
- Install by using sudo make modules_install install
More details
For now I'm assuming we want to compile the current stable kernel, witch is 4.15.6
- Download kernel sources from kernel.org - I won't post a direct link to a kernel, because that will become outdated pretty soon!
- Extract the sources into a directory and change into that directory
I download the file and extract it with tar. For me it was like
mkdir Kernel && cd Kernel
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.15.6.tar.xz
tar xf linux-4.15.6.tar.xz
cd linux-4.15.6
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config<i> # Copy configuration of the current kernel to .config
make localmodconfig # Apply configuration details, that have not been applied</i>
In general it's save to hit the return key and just use the default values. But keep that in mind, if you run into problems you might have a more detailed look and the options
Now it's time to compile the kernel. Use -j4 to use 4 threads for building. I in general use up to 16, but that depends on your system. People report in general good results in taking a number between 1x and 2x the number of CPU cores you have. I have 8, so I choose 16, but that's up to you
make -j16 # Fire it up!
Now watch the build process and grab a cup of coffee. That might take a while ....
If the build process completes, then run a simply a make modules_install and make install to install the new kernel
sudo make modules_install install
In Ubuntu this triggers a grub-update as well, so it should work the next time you boot into your system.
Nice 🙂

The many lives of Moreton Bay
Once a haven for its traditional owners, the area became a microcosm of colonialism within just a few years of European settlement in 1824. In the decades that followed, the region housed a prison, a whaling station and an asylum for the elderly and infirmed. However, today the Bay is a hub of tourism and recreation as well as an important centre of industry and a place of conservation and environmental research.
Visitors to The many lives of Moreton Bay will discover an intriguing story of endless transformations – from leper colony to wilderness retreat, from whaling station to marine sanctuary. Tales of shipwrecks sit alongside stories of lazy days spent fishing and the memories of those who have lived their lives amidst the Bay's wild beauty. The many lives of Moreton Bay brings them together as one powerful and revealing experience.

Best London tea experiences
Loading up on scones, cholesterol-heavy clotted cream and liters of tea is an English tradition that dates back to the days of Dickensian urchins and Queen Victoria.
But your average London tea experience can be a stuffy event, all ancient china and tedious rituals.
Thankfully, a string of new venues (plus a couple of old favorites) across the city, have turned London tea into a far more inviting, gluttonous treat.
Dean St Townhouse
This is one of London's hottest new hotels, run by the Soho House group.
Forget weak tea and piddly sandwiches. This London tea bargain served in the hotel's classy dining room is all about hefty slices of Victoria sponge, colorful Battenberg and proper finger sandwiches that won't leave you searching out the nearest Pret when you leave.
What makes it really stand out for us are the buttered crumpets. An English delight sorely lacking from the more mainstream teas out there, these should be obligatory eating for all London visitors.
Dean St. Townhouse, 69-71 Dean St.; £16.75 ($25.50) per person
The Orangerie at Kensington Palace
Afternoon tea in a proper English country garden, in London.
The tea might cost less than a tenner, but you get indulgent cakes, a huge selection of teas from around the world and the chance to sit on the terrace.
Pay an extra £6 ($9) and you'll get a glass of champagne, too.
It's far better value than the expensive, dressy London teas you'll find in some of Mayfair's fancier establishments and comes without waiters fawning over you.
If the weather's bad (pretty likely), then the high white walls and stunning arches of the 18th-century building are just as good for spending a few hours in gluttonous glee.
The Orangerie at Kensington Palace, Kensington Palace Gardens; £9.95 ($15) per person
The Modern Pantry
A perfect example of the unfussy, but lovingly prepared food that's becoming increasingly available across London, The Modern Pantry's afternoon tea is one of the finest you'll find in the center of town.
The booze selection alone makes it worth a visit. There's a passionfruit Bellini and some worryingly easy-to-drink Prosecco to get you in the mood before a hefty serving of fruit scones and cakes made fresh every day.
Unlike its rivals, The Modern Pantry also offers savory treats on top of traditional sandwiches, such as cheese scones.
Coffee roasted at nearby Caravan, one of London's growing breed of New York-style coffee joints, makes this an ideal option for those who don't want the same old offerings that dominate most afternoon teas.
The Modern Pantry, 48 St. John's Square, Clerkenwell; £20 ($30) with champagne, £15 without, per person
Le Chandelier
You'll need to schlep out to East Dulwich in deepest south London to get the full Le Chandelier experience. But the train ride, followed by a short hop on the bus, is worthwhile.
Le Chandelier's afternoon tea offers buttery soft scones with the sweetest organic jam.
Instead of petit fours you get a pastry selection that'll leave you wishing you lived nearby so you could buy croissants daily. There's a champagne option that will set you back £22.
Le Chandelier, 161 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich; £16 ($24.50) per person

Avocet Resources has signed a definitive farm-in and joint-venture agreement with U3O8 Corp. regarding U3O8's 100%-owned Sierra Cuadrada uranium project in Chubut province, Argentina. Under the agreement, Avocet can earn a 51% interest in the Sierra Cuadrada Joint Venture project by spending $1 million in exploration over a maximum of four years. Avocet will manage exploration of the project.
The Sierra Cuadrada project is an early-stage prospect targeting sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization that is geologically similar to the state-owned Cerro Solo deposit, which is also in Chubut and currently is being advanced by CNEA (Argentinean National Nuclear Commission).
Argentina is a nuclear energy producing country seeking domestic uranium supply to fuel its reactor fleet. The country's third reactor will come online this year, and at that time, Argentina will derive 9% of its electricity from nuclear. A fourth reactor is out for tender.
Argentina views uranium as a strategic resource, and the government has signed nuclear cooperation agreements with the United Arab Emirates and China. The country has previously been a uranium producer, having a number of mine sites that are now closed. It is currently endeavoring to become self-sufficient with its own mines.
Avocet Resources is an Australian junior company headquartered in West Perth, Western Australia, with exploration projects in Western Australia, Queensland, and South Australia. U3O8 Corp. is a Canadian junior company headquartered in Toronto, with active exploration projects on Argentina, Colombia and Guyana.

A piece of Oak Cliff transportation history is set to become a City of Dallas Historic Landmark.
The Mountain Creek Bridge was constructed in 1930 and built to last centuries, although it was only in service for about five years.
A remnant of the bridge, off Jefferson about a quarter mile west of Cockrell Hill, was part of the Texas Interurban Railway, a system of electric passenger trains that moved people all over Texas beginning in the early 1900s. This bridge was part of the line that came through Oak Cliff down Jefferson Boulevard and on to Fort Worth.
In 1930, the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad needed an 8-mile spur to move materials to and from Cement City. But that line needed to cross the interurban line. So the rail road and Dallas County split the cost to build the 45-foot tall, 400-foot long Mountain Creek Bridge. They also excavated to lower Jefferson Boulevard and build the new railway spur between the two, creating a triple underpass. That is all explained in detail in a paper, embedded below, written by Michael Amonett, a landmark commissioner and past president of the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League.
In 1951, Dallas County Commissioner Denver Seale wanted to tear down the bridge because he thought Jefferson Boulevard needed to be widened eventually. Seale told the Dallas Morning News at the time, however, that the bridge would be too expensive to destroy:
We've got to remove the bridge eventually to make room for road widening and general improvement of West Jefferson Boulevard. But back in 1930, they built bridges for the ages and tearing down the Mountain Creek Bridge is going to be an engineering feat. I hope to have it out of the way within the next six months so the entire right of way may be cleared and West Jefferson Boulevard widened through Mountain Creek Valley
The idea to widen Jefferson died out after Interstate 30 was built, and the sturdy Mountain Creek Bridge has remained these 86 years.
The landmark commission's designation committee is expected to approve landmark status for the bridge at its Feb. 17 meeting. After that, there are a few more bureaucratic steps before it reaches City Council, maybe this summer.
County Commissioner Elba Garcia and the Old Oak Cliff Conservation League have agreed to split the cost of a historical marker.
The 12-foot wide bridge could become part of the planned Chalk Hill Trail, which will follow the old Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe line from Westmoreland south of Illinois, past Cockrell Hill and up to West Davis at Chalk Hill Road.
A meeting to gather community input on the Chalk Hill Trail proposal is at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, at the Arcadia Recreation Center.

France to introduce plain cigarette packets to curb smoking
Issued on:
France is to introduce plain packaging for cigarettes and a ban on e-cigarettes in certain public places, in a bid to reduce smoking.
13 million adults smoke on a daily basis in France and according to Health Minister Marisol Touraine, "the number of smokers is growing, especially among young people".
On Thursday she announced that under proposed new laws, cigarette packets will be "the same shape, same size, same colour, same typeset", in the hope that smoking will become less attractive especially to youngsters.
France has one of the highest rates of under-16s smoking in Europe and, in addition to the plain packaging measures, Touraine also announced that smoking would be banned in playgrounds and in cars with passengers under 12.
"For the first time in France we have a national programme which is comprehensive and strong, and includes plain packaging....We think this is a very good way to help young people not to start smoking." said Yves Martinet, president of the French organisation CNCT (National Committee Against Smoking).
The laws would be based on similar measures introduced in 2012 in Australia and Martinet suggests the move contributed to a reduction in cigarette consumption there.
"We have just the Australian experience and it's a bit short, one and a half years. But the number of people who smoke in Australia dropped by bit more than 3% over last year . But you have to compare what can be compared and right now in France you have 30% of young children between 15 and 17 who smoke while in Australia it's below 15%."
However, Celine Audibert of the French tobacco firm Seita, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco, said "It's based on the Australian experience which, more than a failure, was a complete fiasco".
In Australia all cigarettes must be sold in identical, olive-brown packets bearing the same typeface which are largely covered with graphic health warnings.
Unlike Australia, however, French brands will remain on the packets "but limited to a very discreet and defined size, always on the same place on the packet," according to the plan.
European Union laws already force tobacco firms to cover 65 percent of the packaging with health warnings.
Touraine also announced that electronic cigarettes are to be banned in certain public places.
E-cigarettes have taken off in France, with statistics published by the French Observatory for Drugs and Addiction (OFDT) estimating that 18 percent of French people between the age of 15 and 75 had tried them.
Touraine acknowledged that "it's better to vape than to smoke" but stressed: "For a young person who has never smoked, an electronic cigarette can become a way into smoking."
E-cigarettes will be banned in locations where young people gather such as schools, as well as on public transport and in enclosed workspaces.
In addition, the advertising of e-cigarettes is to be restricted then banned completely from May 2016 except at the point of sale and in trade publications.
The Health Minister stated that tobacco kills 73,000 people every year in France.

What is WP Sifu
You can easily find many service providers who either offer WordPress website hosting, or support and maintenance services, but hardly one who offers both and more. WP Sifu fills in that space.
Months before we launched WP Sifu, we have already started talking to our existing clients about our managed hosting service (we used to be only a web design agency for past 10 years). Many of our clients liked the idea and thought it's the right way forward, some have expressed concern about our price point when they compared WP Sifu to traditional hosting service providers. We are going to touch on the subject in this post and explain the real value that comes with the price you pay us.
We are not a big fan of the term; but WP Sifu is really a "one stop shop" for everything WordPress! Let us break down our services and you'll see WP Sifu is quite a few things:
- WP Sifu as WordPress hosting service provider
- WP Sifu as WordPress maintenance service provider
- WP Sifu as WordPress content publishing service provider
- WP Sifu as WordPress website development service provider
WP Sifu as WordPress hosting service provider
Before you can set up a website, you need a hosting space for it. So naturally, hosting service is probably the first thing on your shopping list.
Here's where we need to emphasize: WP Sifu is not just a typical hosting service provider. We partner with WP Engine — one of the best in the business who supplies servers that are optimised for running WordPress websites. If your current website runs on WordPress, or you are thinking of using WordPress for your next website, WP Sifu is probably your best option yet!
Though we offer hosting service, you can't compare us with the traditional hosting service providers whose servers are meant for any kind of website but specialize in none. To make it fair, we'll focus on comparing WP Sifu with hosting service providers who offer WordPress only hosting plans. Good news is we have already done the legwork for you, we've done a price comparison which you will see at the end of this post. Meanwhile, please bear with us as we continue.
WP Sifu as WordPress maintenance service provider
This is where things get interesting. We don't just simply provide you a space for your WordPress website. We actually take care of your WordPress website too! These are some of the things we do day in and day out:
- we monitor and update your WordPress version;
- we check and make sure your plugins and theme files are not prone to cyber security risks;
- we shield your website from potential hacker attacks before they can even come close;
- we speed up your website by using proprietary caching technology, coupled with CDN that basically gives your website a blazing fast load time
- we even set up SSL for your website so Google may rank you better!
When it comes to updating WordPress software, we do not rely on auto-update that makes us look lazy. We make a backup copy of your WordPress website and test the update with the copy, we'll make sure the software update didn't break anything, then we replace the live site with the updated copy. It does sound labor intensive, but we are happy to do that, because it's always better be safe than sorry! That's how we roll!
WordPress releases major software updates and security patches almost every month, so we have to assume you will set aside some budget for that each month.
SEE ALSO: How We Keep Your WordPress Website Safe
WP Sifu as WordPress content publishing service provider
This is where we really shine! WP Sifu is probably one of the very few (if not the only) who also offers content publishing support. By content publishing, we mean anything from uploading new banners to posting new blog posts.
You may wonder: Isn't WordPress meant for letting you update your own content without any technical skill? On this note, you are right. You will still be able to do your own content update if you choose to. But wouldn't you like to have choices? How about choosing to spend the time on something more important to you, for example, grow your business, or spend time with your loved ones?
Also, when you send us your raw content materials, we do not simply copy and paste the text and slap in the photos. We endeavour to make the newly created content look nice before we call it a job done.
To hire someone to perform these tasks, you may probably need to shell out minimum SGD50 per hour. At this point it's impossible for us to say how many hour of services you may need, but we guess it's fair to say at least two hours a month? So you are looking at spending about SGD100 per month to have someone help you upload new content (and make them look good).
WP Sifu as WordPress website development service provider
Prior to WP Sifu, we have been building websites for 10 years. We have seen the heyday of dotcom, witnessed the bubble burst, am now watching the rise of web 2.0. We can do a lot more than just installing WordPress with a nice theme. So you can actually hire us to build your website either from scratch, or revamp your current one. You can imagine us taking full ownership of your website and treat it as if it's our own!
Try imagine how much you would have to spend if you hire someone (who has 10 years experience) to build your website. Then, think about how nice it is when the guys who build your website are the same guys who will continue to take care of it. WP Sifu will be your guys!
WP Sifu compared to others
Here comes to fun part — comparing prices (we are Asian, this is what we do best!) It would be uncool for us to name our competitors, but you can be rest assured the prices shown are accurate at the time of publishing this.
|Competitor "G"
|Competitor "V"
|WP Sifu
|SSL certificate
|Maintenance & update
|Cost per year
Looking at price comparison above, you may wonder if you actually need "maintenance & update" every month. The answer is an uppercase YES! Take a look at WordPress Versions and you can see how often WordPress updates it's software. Yes, WordPress is that on the ball! To put things in perspective, if the public transport service in Singapore is run by WordPress, we will never have train breakdown!

Occupy Your Rights: From Government Rhetoric to Action
A Teach In with Joan Russow
Sponsored by Occupy Public Engagement Group
Thursday March 22
7:00 pm
First Met United Church
Balmoral at Quadra
In this teach in, Joan Russow will discuss how the 99% can work from the ground up to make our rogue government comply with its international obligations and commitments. In addition, there will be references to a number of international conventions that protect the rights of the land and peoples that would be violated by the Enbridge pipeline.
Everyone welcome. Free admission.
OWS (Occupy Wall Street) and the other Occupies have been characterized as lawless, but from an international point of view, our governments, not the Occupy movement, are the outlaws.
The Occupy movement has also been characterized as having no demands. However, a distinction can be made between demanding change as a wish and demanding the rights to which we are entitled. Canada, along with the majority of the world's nations has signed and ratified significant agreements on human rights, the environment, social and economic justice, on the peaceful resolution of disputes.
