The beginning of this year I got a call from a gentleman called Roi who runs Tooting Market, a unit was available did I want it?
Of course I did. After a month of hard graft and a hell of a lot of help from some amazing people Love Art has a home.
Love Art runs art classes for children and adults, sells affordable prints and beautiful things, I run it with Claire Rudkin who also designs in film and television. The Market houses me pretty much everyday. I run act up from it, I run the agency from it, I produce from it and I meet and greet many incredible people each day.
My ambitions are to run a huge arts centre, so I figured I needed experience in pretty much every field of the arts.
Also I can only do down to earth, the acting profession can get very intense and very boring for the rest of the planet who have no interest in such a strange hybrid. I figured if I worked amongst everybody it could only do good and it's already paying off.
So if you want a bit of everything, come and find us down the market, you might be surprised what you find. X

Sometimes the forecasters get it right and many children around the country were delighted to wake up to a blanket of snow this morning.
The majority of the snow fell in the north of the country this morning across Donegal and Derry.
The wintry showers are expected to extend to all areas today, falling as snow, mainly on hills but increasingly to lower levels as the day goes on.
The Orange level weather warning remains in place until 6pm tomorrow with a snow-ice warning for Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo.
A lower Yellow Warning is in place for the rest of the country.
The weather in the UK has caused havoc for travellers with Heathrow cancelling over 80 flights.
Widespread sleet and snow showers will continue this evening, some of these heavy. They will continue later in the night over Ulster, but will become scattered elsewhere, with dry, clear spells developing

Enthusiasm FTW!
Students who are motivated in the class and are already tech savvy are rocking the Kinder Toy Project . Others who were able to go with the flow in group work in video projects are finding it tough because 'it's so much work' as one kid said to me. The stakes are high here. Without a completed project students in my class will not be printing a toy for their kindergarten partner which will be disastrous and will literally crush the little ones.
Time- Where did it go?
I need to give more time for modelling and working things out. The top students who've taken to Sketchup are just finishing this week. The middle of the pack probably needs another week, which we don't have. Not to self- add more time. Maybe we spent too much time making cardboard prototypes, but I thought it was important for them to do this step to learn about scale and form and the limitations of 3D printing. The Makerbot can't do overhangs of greater that 45 degrees very well. Any model with a 90 degree overhang. The image below demonstrates this. The cone was printed upside down and was successful because the overhang was just fractions of a millimetre each successive layer. The object below with the overhang would not print because the nozzle would print plastic into air with nothing to support it.
The Mad Skillz (is what the kidz say)
Fully admitting that I don't know all the answers has happened often during this project. When sitting beside a student discussing a problem I have been telling them I don't know, but here's what I think we could do. Then if that doesn't work, we ask the rest of the class. More often than not another student wanders over to share their knowledge to help us out.
Perhaps this project was a bit soon too with their introductory skill levels with Google Sketchup, and we needed some more foundations in scale and understanding the basic tools. Perhaps having them jump in was a good thing as well. When I wanted to learn how to build a 3D printer I jumped in too, and I made a lot of mistakes. I guess this may tie back to my point about time. The greatest challenge for us right now is taking a model of the walker toy, and intersecting it (welding it) with the students' model. What you see below is a successful intersection of two models were the negative imprint of one model is left in the other. This will mean that the walker bases will fit perfectly into our toys. Unfortunately, intersecting a model with a sphere doesn't seen to be working very well right now.
Outcomes Awareness
Communicating learning is very important to me, but I think this is where I'm falling down. Asking students to blog their progress has been OK, but the depth of their responses isn't where I like it to be yet. One thing I will take from this is I need to blog along side of them and use better guiding questions. Asking a new student blogger to demonstrate their learning in words about "their understanding of 2D and 3D forms" isn't an easy task. Transferring their modelling of physical things into words on a blog or even paper doesn't jive. Maybe video updates might work next time? Formative feedback daily is way more helpful than even a weekly blog. I'm not dismissing blogs, because I want the tool in my class. I just need more work on my end to make it more approachable for my students.
Did you know that technology doesn't always work? The Makerbot I built first has been running smoothly, but there is a backlog of designs to be printed. Occasionally the room temperature affects the print, or the nozzle height needs to be calibrated, so its takes some tweaking to get things just right. Realistically getting 1 model per class printed is a success. The second Makerbot I'm working on is giving me grief because of an electrical issue (that is my own) that I can't figure out right now. 20 hrs on each Makerbot build has been a lot of time- but I wouldn't change what I'm going for the moon!
Help! What ideas do you have about my class blogging/outcomes awareness, or maybe you're a Sketchup pro that can help us with best ways the intersect (weld) models together? Drop me a comment!

NaNoWriMo anyone?
I hope this is the right place for this thread = )
Anyone else planning on doing NaNoWriMo this year? Have you done it in the past? What're you thinking of writing about?
I did it successfully in 2010 (despite falling way behind and having to write 15,000 words the final day). Last year I was way too busy to do much, so I plan on re-using the idea I didn't really write from last year this year. It's a semi-generic fantasy novel about a group of chosen heroes who have to save the world, but I'm hoping it'll be a little bit unusual in that the way they have to save the world is by releasing a sealed evil god and restoring the proper balance to nature.
My 2010 novel was about a half elf/half dwarf sent as an ambassador to the elven kingdom. It was really mostly a slice of life story and I'm sort of proud of it even though not a lot actually happens in it action-wise.
I plan on doing it this year. I shouldn't have too much school work during November, and I won't be working because the village is only open on the weekend. But you know all this =p
I've never done it before, though I've considered it the last two years. My idea for this year is a story about a mage. I don't have a whole lot of details about it, yet. At least not enough to actually explain what I'm thinking.
I found out about it last year but I wasn't able to do it sadly. This year I'm going to do it. I'm so excited!
I've always wanted to do this, but I don't have the motivation. xDDD
It'd be quite the achievement to put under my belt though~
I have a hard time writing when I don't have a deadline so NaNo was actually kind of good for me = )
I've had this awesome plot in my head for a fanfiction.
But I don't even have the first chapter written because of writers block.
; n ;
It's depressing.
I've never done, but I have wanted to. I just forget and never actually do anything.
I've heard of it, but I don't do it. I've sadly come to the despairing realization that I am just not a novel writer. I've tried, but the farthest I've ever gotten was a single part of what was bound to be a four part novel that I ultimately felt was derivative and somewhat of a "favour of the day" type of book. That was some years ago so it's about time for me to try again. ;)
I write short stories instead, and poetry. Pulling off a short story in a month would be something worth trying I think. My latest short that I finished (billed as poetry rather then prose as it mixes the two) was begun sometime back in 2009, probably when I was taking my course on Ancient Egyptian religion. My writing speed is atrocius, and I often take so long to write something that my intent changes which ultimately results in a re-write.
I've never liked NaNoWriMo. November is an extremely inconvenient time for me, possibly the worst writing month of the year with the way my school work tends to fall. I also disagree with the philosophy of the project, in that I'd rather plan something out in exacting precision and have the first "draft" be as near to complete as possible rather than push myself into getting words on the page only to be left with a (very likely) useless morass of broken character arcs, plot holes, and innumerable other issues that will crop up moving at that kind of pace.
50,000 words is also only half of a novel. I've been learning that the hard way with the collaborative novel I've been writing with my cousin for the past few years. We got to the "end" only to realize we had to go back and expand the story tremendously to take it from a novella to a novel, which is what it was conceived as.
I mean, I'm sure NaNo is fun, I guess I just... don't write for fun? I derive enjoyment from writing things I'm satisfied with or proud of. The writing process is extremely painstaking for me, I obsess over sentence structure and word choice to the point where I can get completely stalled out on a piece over a single word and never end up finishing it. I also constantly second-guess myself, so that, by the time I get halfway through something (especially something novel-sized) I end up thinking that what I've wrote is irredeemable garbage and giving up or starting over.
So, no, I don't think NaNo is for me. :P
What he said, but I do like the idea of just powering my way through a word count and not obsess over details for once.
I'm not all that familiar with how NaNoWriMo works, just the main idea, but I figure that's enough for my purposes.
I thought that 100 000+ was high for the average novel. I've heard that as new authors go, 60 000 is the ideal mark as the bricks are usually saved for established authors that publishers know they can make money on and aren't too concerned about the extra money to print a larger book.
50k is certainly a shortish novel, but it's not like you have to stop there XD And a lot of people who do NaNo add more and edit later.
I don't think it's generally going to produce a really good, polished product, but that isn't really the point. My 2010 NaNo novel had parts that I really, really liked, and I ended up pulling out some of those parts, shuffling other stuff around, and turning it into a short story that I really like.
@Quiet, I think that's largely the case in genres outside of fantasy. From what I understand, 200-page fantasy novels are not currently vogue, and haven't been for a while.
@Lestrade, I understand the sentiment, I just have such a hard time getting into my "writing zone" (outside of which I lock up and can't get a word on the page) that I want to make sure it's a 100% effort on my part once I do get there. Nice that you ended up getting something out of it, though, that's good.
Not sure, I've heard the same for fantasy since the comment referenced G.R.R. Martin and Robert Jordan for authors of the big novels. This was a couple years ago though. Epic, lengthy fantasy works might be the sellers now, but look at how the Harry Potter books grew after the first one. Not sure if Rowling would have gotten the larger books published without first having the shorter ones sell.
Even the first one was over 300 pages, wasn't it? I mean, as a counterpoint, look at Erikson. They were meh about Gardens of the Moon, but they found out he had plans for 10 more 800+ page books, they were throwing money at him to get him to work for them. (Granted, that was a unique confluence of circumstances of his publisher wanting to compete with other big fantasy series)
Ah. I imagine series are popular with publishers if they sell well because they provide a good long term investment. If you can guarantee a novel that will sell at least reasonaly well each year or two for the next 10 years then it's more security for the publishing company in the event that they can't find the next big thing from new submissions.
*This is theory of course. I have not actually dealt with publishing companies and only read about such thing from articles by editors or agents and such. Never know what might be useful to know. :)

With freezing temperatures throughout the week, soon fishermen in the Marion County area will head to their favorite frozen bodies of water for ice fishing. Iowa State Game Warden Ken Kenyon tells KNIA/KRLS News that at a minimum people need to make sure that there is four inches of clear hard ice before stepping foot on it. Kenyon says the best way to do this is to auger a hole near the dock and then continue to auger every few feet that you move. Kenyon adds that if you are going to bring an ATV on the ice, there needs to be five inches of ice and a truck would require 12 inches of ice. While it's important to make sure that the ice is thick enough, Kenyon says the best advice he can give is to never go alone and always tell someone exactly where you are.

The Cleverness Of Corvids
People used to think birds were rather stupid with 'bird brain' still being a term used to describe a person of little intelligence. However, it turns out that some of our feathered friends may be cleverer than we thought, in particular corvids who have surprised scientists with their ability to mimic human speech, employ complex reasoning and make and use tools.
Corvids are a group of birds that includes crows, ravens, jackdaws, magpies and jays who have all demonstrated some remarkable feats of memory and the ability to plan ahead.
Jays, for example, are well known for stashing food and you may have seen them burying nuts in your garden during cold winter months. However, western scrub jays take this habit one step further.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge showed that burying food was done not simply because it was cold but that the jays were actually planning ahead, something that it was previously thought only humans could do.
The research to discover this behaviour was conducted by giving jays the chance to store food in a room where they were not being fed or a room where they were being fed. The experiment concluded that the jays would time and time again pick the room where they were not being fed to hide food.
Other scientists have observed that if western scrub jays are being watched when stashing food they will make some 'fake hides' putting their beak in the ground but not actually burying the food. They will also re-hide food again and it has been shown that they can remember the locations of up to 200 food caches.
In 2002 a New Caledonian crow called Betty demonstrated a talent for using tools that challenged the chimpanzee's reputation for being the most proficient toolmaker in the animal kingdom.
Betty, one of a pair of crows kept at the University of Oxford made a hook from a piece of wire to retrieve a bucket of food from the bottom of a plastic tube. Her skills came to light quite by chance when the two crows were offered the choice of a straight piece of wire or a hooked wire to get at the bucket. When the male bird flew off with the hook Betty bent the tip of the straight wire to make a replacement.
To prove that this wasn't just a fluke, the scientists presented Betty with more lengths of straight wire and proved that she was able to fashion a hook to retrieve the bucket 9 out of ten times.
Although New Caledonian crows had been known to make hooks from objects they were familiar with in their home on the Pacific archipelago of New Caledonia to extract insects and bugs from cracks and crevices, this was the first time a crow had been observed making a tool from an unfamiliar object.
In 2014 a team of researchers from the University of Auckland in New Zealand showed that crows were able to displace water. In a series of tests reminiscent of Aesop's fable The Crow and the Pitcher the crows were offered scraps of meat placed just out of their reach floating in a series of tubes that were part-filled with water. The crows successfully worked out that by using heavy, solid objects they would be able to reach the meat faster.
They also preferred to drop objects in tubes where they could access the food more easily picking out tubes with higher water levels.
Researchers at the University of Seattle showed that not only do crows not forget a face but will hold a grudge for a number of years.
The scientists who trapped and banded crows were dive-bombed and scolded by an angry mob from above. To ensure that crows were responding to their faces and not their clothes the team took to wearing masks including those that resembled a caveman and Dick Cheney.
One researcher ventured out in a mask he'd started wearing five years earlier and was attacked by about 50 crows who apparently had borne a grudge despite not having seen the mask for a year.

|Natalie Neace.
Highlands High School senior Natalie Neace has taken it into her own hands to create a scholarship for her classmates and fellow music lovers. "What really inspired me to start my own scholarship was my love of music and my joy of service and giving back to others in any way that I can," said Neace.
The Scholarship is called the Highlands High School Vocal Music Alumni Scholarship, and its purpose serves to bring all of the HHS choir and alumni together to support the art of music. Assuming Natalie raises enough money to fund her scholarship, two $500 scholarships will be awarded to two graduating singers who follow these guidelines: Seniors can pick up an application in the Guidance Office or on Naviance and the deadline is April 1st. Several musical and business members in the community were chosen to be on a Board to read the essays, discuss the applications, and to decide who the two recipients will be.
Gracie Fettig, a Highlands senior is one of the choir members who plan to apply for the scholarship. "I think that the Highlands High School Vocal Music Alumni Scholarship presents a wonderful opportunity for those who have an appreciation of the arts. I am hopeful that two scholarships can be funded and provided this year," she stated.
Natalie, being a member of the Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) Alumni of 2015 and a Cincinnati Overture's Competition Semi-Finalist, has a very high appreciation of music. She feels as though it's important to support vocalists who pursue their dreams and will do anything in her power to do so, hence the scholarship. The recipient, however, does not have to major in music but does have to have that desire or those life experiences that prove to them how important music is for humanity.
|Barre 3 Ft. Thomas. This is an advertisement.
Students who are awarded the two scholarships will be recognized at Senior Awards Night and be given recognition again at the May Choral Concert as a way to continue to gain awareness with parents and the community. This is an opportunity that Natalie hopes other people will carry on with years coming. "This scholarship isn't meant to make someone an opera star or a pop icon, it's simply meant to encourage students to stay involved with music throughout their whole lives," explains Natalie.
Any amount of money can be donated by anyone in order to help Natalie make this scholarship possible, and financially help college goers who have a strong appreciation for music and the choir. Community members can help fund this scholarship here: https://www.gofundme.com/hhsmusic
Any further questioning can be ask to Natalie at firstname.lastname@example.com
"I am so excited to share my love of music with more students and to help the community to come together and see the great impact they can have on the success of future generations!" says Natalie.

After watching the trailer for Michael Jackson's "This Is It", I think the movie is going make some money. I wasn't sure at first. But the trailer looks like an intimate, behind the scenes look at the singer and it shows how the concerts would have been performed had he not died unexpectedly. Also, while Michael was always guarded in life, the film will show him talking to the other musicians and arranging the show. I'll admit I'm more curious now than before. But the real gimmick that might help this film make some money is that it's only scheduled for a two week limited engagement. You can never go wrong with 'limited'. Anyway, if you're curious, check out the just released trailer after the jump:
"This is It" gets released October 28th.

Rodents In The Fall
Fall in New England means one thing is certain – the weather is getting progressively colder. As the temperatures drop, your common rodents are actively looking for shelter and food. Now is the time to prepare against those pesky rodents so that you don't find yourself experiencing an infestation this winter, in addition to some major cabin fever! Here are some precautions you can take now to keep those cold weather roommates at bay:
- Clean your kitchen! Rodents, in search of food, are often found in the kitchen and pantry. Make sure that all food is kept in airtight containers and is stored on shelves and in cabinets, rather than on the floor. Use a trashcan with a lid and take the trash out on a daily basis. Finally, keep your kitchen clean and free of spills and crumbs.
- Don't invite them in! An open door is an open invitation, as are open windows or windows that don't have screens or have screens with holes. Be sure to seal cracks around the foundation, especially near windows, entryways, and the walls that separate your garage from your home. Mice can squeeze through cracks the size of a nickel so inspect carefully!
- Declutter! Rodents often make their nests in basements, closets, and rooms that are cluttered or not used on a regular basis. Keep clutter and boxes to a minimum and avoid letting clothes, old papers, and furniture pile up in these unused spaces.
- Clean the gutters! Clogged gutters are a rodent's dream and an optimal site for nesting. Plus, their proximity to the house make access to the inside even easier.
- Maintain your yard! Keep shrubbery and trees properly trimmed cut back and store firewood at a good distance from the house.
Rodents are carriers of over thirty-five different diseases and they can bring fleas, mites, ticks, and even lice into your home. An infestation should not be taken lightly – call our team today for an evaluation! 877-PESTS-55Tags: fall, mice, New England, Rodents, Tips, tricks

Praying In Fair Weather.
The ways in which God saves those whom he wishes to deliver from death,
are sometimes too wonderful for our understanding. A certain ship was
overtaken in a severe and prolonged storm at sea. She had a noble
Christian man for a captain, and as good a sailor as ever trod the
quarter-deck, and he had under him a good and obedient crew. But they
could not save the ship; she was too badly strained, her leaks were too
great for the pumps, she must go to the bottom. The captain committed
them all to the care of the God in whom he put his trust, and made ready
to take to their boats. Just then a sail was descried, and, by signals
of distress, drawn to their relief. All on board were taken off safely
and put on the ship, soon after which they saw their own ship go down.
Now comes the peculiar part. The ship was soon overtaken in a dreadful
storm, was cast on her beam ends, and everything seemed to be lost. The
passengers were praying, and many of the old seamen were calling on God
to save them from the great deep. The captain of the ship had done his
best, but could not right the vessel, and all was given up to go down.
The captain, whose ship was lost, then asked if he might take his crew
and try to right the vessel.
"Take them, and do what you can," was the reply. He called to his men
and told them they must save that ship; he inspired them with
confidence, for they knew he was a true man of God. They executed his
orders with alacrity and care. They cut away the masts, and cleared away
the rigging, and brought all the force they could to right the vessel.
God prospered the efforts--the ship righted; they got the pumps at work,
rigged a sail, and were finally all saved. It seemed as if it was
necessary to put the captain of the first ship and his crew on the
second ship, that they might save it and those on board when the
terrible storm came.
Now it was particularly noticed in connection with this deliverance,
that the captain of the lost vessel did not make any ado in prayer, or
in calling on God, while the storm was raging; and knowing that he was a
Christian man, they asked him the reason of this. He answered them,
_that he did his praying in fair weather; "and then_" said he, _"when
the storm comes, I work_." He did not distrust God then, any more than
in fair weather; but he knew that God requires man to do all he can to
save himself, and praying might lose him his ship, when his own efforts
must save it.

T-Mobile customers will soon be able to get their hands on two of Samsung's most coveted Android smartphones, according to newly leaked details. Late last week TmoNews received a handful of release dates for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note. Although they don't have pricing information to share at this time, we do know that this summer is going to be a hot one for the nation's fourth largest carrier.
Here are some tentatively scheduled release dates for a number of Android-based smartphones. Keep in mind that, until an official announcement is made, these things are always subject to change.
- Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
- Samsung Galaxy S III 32GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
- T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Phoenix) – July 11th
- T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Buddy) – July 11th
- Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Ceramic White – July 11th
- Samsung Galaxy Note – July 11th
It's interesting that the Pebble Blue version of the Galaxy S III should arrive ahead of the Marble White model, especially since it's the blue iteration that's delayed today. Of course, there's more than a 2-3 week window between now and the rumored June 20 date so this may not be out of the question.
We don't mean to totally gloss over the Huawei stuff in this post but obviously it's not as grand as the Samsung rumors. Given the timing of the releases we fully expect the pair of Huawei models to come in with low-end price points and entry-level specs.

Modern neuroscience is providing profound insights into nature's most mysterious puzzle -- the human brain -- while applications of information and computer science are transforming the way people interact with each other and with the world around them. The new science of neuroinformatics, which sits at the junction, integrates knowledge and promises to catalyze progress in these dynamic and seemingly disparate areas of study. Neuroinformatics research will allow brain and behavioral scientists to make better sense and use of their data through advanced information tools and approaches. These include new ways to acquire, store, visualize, analyze, integrate, synthesize, and share data, as well as the means for electronic scientific collaboration.
In this country, the principal source of support for neuroinformatics research is the Human Brain Project. The project, which is led by the National Institute of Mental Health, now supports neuroinformatics research performed by over 60 scientists. This volume presents the findings of the first group of researchers. Their efforts will begin to arm the next generation of brain and behavioral scientists with tools to attack the serious problem of information overload, and ultimately relate their findings to those obtained from different species, levels of biological organization, methods, and laboratories. And the challenges presented by the amount, diversity, and complexity of brain and behavioral data will give informatics researchers the impetus to test and expand the limits of their own science. The work described in this volume signals a change in the way scientists interact with data, instruments and each other, and points the way to a very different and richer future understanding of the human brain and mind.

Banks all over Russia, taking into consideration the international experience, have long developed the online banking service and have started to deliver cards to clients by courier. According to the data presented by the CB of Russia, the amount of ruble accounts with online access, through which payments were made using cards, increased by 18% as compared to the last year's figure and by the 1st of January, 2018, it was already about 198 billion.
Thus, UNISTREAM bank in its turn, aiming to keep up with the up-to-date services, has totally transferred its card service into one, that allows the clients to order their cards without visiting the bank. As a result twice as many cards- more than 70.000- have been delivered to UNISTREAM clients by courier. The process is determined by the growth of the amount of clients, who increasingly prefer courier delivery service, the main advantage of which is not only convenience, but also more affordable tariffs.UNISTREAM bank offers one of the fastest and simplest services for card delivery by courier. It's just necessary to fill in your contacts on the website or on the banks' account in VK, after which a call center specialist gets in touch with the client. The bank card delivery is absolutely free and is made by courier at any time and date convenient for the client. This type of card distribution is available for the inhabitants of Moscow, St. Petersburg and the regions of Moscow and Leningrad.
Due to the mobile application, which can be run by all the UNISTREAM card holders, payments and money transfers can be made at any point of the world.
"UNISTREAM bank focuses on the active development of courier delivery in its card business, taking our clients' real needs and requirements into consideration. Thanks to the latest technologies, clients may themselves choose the most convenient form of communication with the bank. Such approach insures the possibility to exceed clients' expectations and build a quality, long-term relationship", says Nadezhda Kibalnik, Deputy CEO of UNISTREAM bank.
For clients' convenience, UNISTREAM suggests contactless cards that will also help get paid back. By cashback service clients get back 10% of the spending.

Israel has developed a model for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder from its experience with trauma cases since the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The Israeli Defense Forces are now teaching Americans how to cope with soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
There are some things at which Israel excels. Sport is not one of them. When it comes to agriculture, for example, we have considerable know-how to export. Yet that is not all. In a country beleaguered by wars, you would expect the percentage of shell shocked victims to be particularly high. But the opposite is true. As it turns out, the IDF is highly adept at coping with this phenomenon. Forty years of experience cannot be lightly dismissed.
In the past few years, the United States has had to grapple with millions returning or about to return from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. And it is Israel's experience and success in this field that has attracted the attention of a large number of American academics. A forty-strong delegation of professors and senior lecturers headed by Prof. Marilyn Flynn, dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Southern California, has come to Israel seeking to learn from the IDF how to better treat soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
"Close to 1.5 million military personnel will soon return to the US," says Flynn. "From our own experience, between one-fifth to one-quarter of them suffer, or will suffer from PTSD, what you Israelis call 'shell shock'. Approximately a tenth of them will suffer from chronic manifestations, some of which could last for decades."
These soldiers, says Flynn, suffer from sleep disorders and depression, finding it hard to keep a steady job or function in society. "And they are not the only casualties; their wives and children are secondary victims who also need treatment. What we've discovered is that the suicide rate of soldiers in Afghanistan or those who have already returned from battle is relatively high compared to the general American population."
It did not take long for researchers in Israel, Britain and Canada to realize that the number of soldiers with PTSD in their own countries is relatively low. Says Flynn, "In these three armies, only one-fifth to 10% of combat soldiers suffer from shell shock, compared to 20-25% among American troops. We also discovered that Israel is better able to cope with this phenomenon, so we've come to learn from the IDF how to do this."

Surprisingly or not, one of the factors contributing to the relatively low percentage of PTSD in Israel is a phenomenon commonly known as 'the buddies' or 'the guys'. "In Israel, some 60% of the population serves in the military, and combat soldiers enjoy a high social standing. When they go back to civilian life, everyone understands what they had endured," says Flynn, who for the last fifteen years has headed the School for Social Work at USC where she oversees a $19 million research budget. "In the US, only 1% of the population serves in the military. When a soldier is discharged and goes back home, only a handful of people can relate to what he has been through. He is expected to put his experience in the past and fit in. He has no one to share his experiences with."
"The soldiers sent to Afghanistan or Iraq," she explains, "could be career soldiers, the National Guard or reservists. In recent years, it is mainly the last two groups that have been dispatched. But once they return home, it's hard for them because they don't return to a structured military base; rather, they are thrown back to where they came from, with no support whatsoever."
Flynn brings up another factor, namely the fact that Israeli troops usually understand the justification for the wars they fight. "Israelis share a very strong bond, and everyone knows what they are fighting for," she observes. "In the US, soldiers are motivated to be in the military, but the reasons for war are not as clear to them, thus making them emotionally more vulnerable. When something tragic or violent happens, they're less able to muster the emotional resources to cope with it."
Another major difference stems from the conditions under which American troops serve. Says Flynn: "IDF soldiers get to visit their families every couple of weeks. An American soldier in Afghanistan or Iraq serves under combat conditions for several months. It is also important to bear in mind that the war in Afghanistan has been the longest ongoing war in US history, almost ten years. Some soldiers have already had four of five deployments to Afghanistan or Iraq. This is something we were unaccustomed to."
But American Soldiers were away from home for long periods of time also in World War II and Vietnam?
"There's a big difference between those wars and what's going on today in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the old wars, the battlefront was clear. Soldiers fought there, and every week or two would pull back to recoup in the rear. Today, soldiers encounter many risks, such as improvised explosive devices, suicide bombers and other dangers even in the so-called 'rear' of Afghanistan and Iraq. The tension never lets up."
There are two US government departments that oversee veterans. The first one is the Department of Veteran Affairs, one of the largest departments with a $139 billion annual budget and 150 large VA hospitals. Responsible for the lifetime treatment of veterans, it is the largest hospital network in the world. There is also a large system that is responsible for education, vocational training and veterans' pensions. In addition, the treatment of post-traumatic soldiers is among the responsibilities of the Department of Defense.
"The USC School of Social Work has landed a DoD contract to draw up a plan for American military psychologists," explains Colonel Dr. Eyal Fruchter, chief IDF Psychologist. "Going back to the Yom Kippur War, we have nearly forty years of experience coping with this phenomenon."
The IDF model for treating PTSD takes place on three levels, Dr. Fruchter explains. "The first one is prevention. This can be compared to getting a flu shot -- preventative medicine. We spend time with commanders before they go to battle, teaching them how to better prepare the troops in order to avert future psychological damage," he says.
Do the military psychologists prepare all commanders in combat units?
"We have plans tailored to each unit based on its specific needs. To prevent emotional trauma, a paramedic or an airborne technician, for example, will be exposed to gruesome photos of wounded people and bodily injuries to prepare them for what they will have to encounter. In contrast, infantrymen will undergo a different kind of preparation, without exposing them to pictures of wounded people. The overall objective is to prevent post-traumatic stress disorder well before battle."
The second level is early intervention, occurring immediately after an incident. "To use the flu example again, this is like immediate treatment after the patient has been exposed to the virus and contracted the disease. Immediately after an incident – a skirmish or battle -- the psychologist will meet with the commanders and guide them on how to properly hold a talk with the soldiers. It's very much like debriefing. Talking about the experience is needed in order to reduce the risk of someone developing PTSD. This allows the soldiers to vent anger, frustration, grief and other emotions. If the commander feels that some soldiers are particularly vulnerable, he will refer them to the military psychologist already at this point."
The third level is treating those who are already hurt. An enlisted or career soldier will be treated by the military, while a reservist will be treated by the Defense Ministry's rehabilitation unit.
"For purposes of comparison, until recently when an American soldier had emotional problems, the only person in the unit he could go to was the chaplain or the rabbi," says Dr. Fruchter. "In Israel, military psychologists have been well integrated in all combat units for the last thirty years."
Dr. Fruchter also notes the overriding importance of the supportive social network of Israeli soldiers in reducing the number of people with PTSD. He agrees with Flynn, who says that the difficulties of American soldiers are also related to the fact that society doesn't understand what they have been through. "The closest comparison to what they're experiencing is Israel's War of Attrition. Soldiers were deployed in outposts on the banks of the Suez Canal and came under constant shelling. Then they got leave and met people partying in Tel Aviv who were clueless about what they were talking about. This also conjures up the early days of the First Lebanon War, when I served as a battalion physician in Lebanon, when I returned from hell to normalcy and peacefulness."
Dr. Fruchter emphasizes that when it comes to combat soldiers, 95% of the people around them are usually familiar with military life and have shared similar experiences. "Normally, a discharged combat soldier does not come in contact with populations that have not served, such as ultra-orthodox Jews or Arab Israelis. Almost everyone in his immediate surroundings has served in the military and understands his feelings. Our soldiers undoubtedly have more support, so the chances of developing shell shock decline."

Every little girl has once dreamed of becoming a beauty queen especially if they are pretty and intelligent. For most little girls, it is their family members that make them dream or fantasize about becoming a beauty queen because they are given ?beauty queen? as pet names.
The ten delegates for this year?s miss [email protected] all had fantasies of becoming a beauty queen as little girls but were waiting for the right platform to make their fantasies become reality.
For most of the delegates watching past seasons of Miss Malaika heightened their fantasies because they saw the past delegates to be goddesses and wondered if that could be them one day. Some delegates? fantasies were created by their families but were scared to give it a try for fear of failure.
When Miss [email protected] was launched this year, all ten delegates wanted to see if their fantasies could be a reality. They were tired of having fantasies and knew that this was time to put their fears aside and make it a reality.
All delegates were confident they would be picked and even get this far in the competition, although it?s not been a jolly ride for these delegates they say it?s worth it because they get to see their fantasies come true.
All delegates are currently in the tertiary institutions pursuing different degree programs. According to the ten beautiful damsels they thought beauty pageant was just making up and dressing to pose for the camera as they saw on television. They were not fully aware of what goes on behind the scenes, some of them now have to skip lectures just to make it for their weekly tasks and other shoots.
However this has not made them give up on their fantasies but has rather made them appreciate beauty queens more than they used to. Again the positive side of Miss Malaika is worth fighting especially with the winner becoming a malaria ambassador and giving back to society and the 3c?s that?s the crown, car and cash.
Miss Malaika beauty pageant has for the ten delegates improved their public appearance, public speech, boosted their confidence and courage and are now ready to take up any unexpected challenges as the competition progresses.
The red carpet experience, the fame and recognition to these ten delegates is awesome and would not trade it for anything else in the world. They have had so much fun from the time the competition started, met celebrities that they only saw on their television sets which is a dream come true for these delegates.
The ten delegates are taken through catwalk lessons; this has motivated some delegates who have confirmed to start modeling professionally after the competition. For some delegates you only get to die once so this beauty pageant is a do and die affair for them and will not try any other beauty pageant again if given the chance. Other delegates said they will love to compete on a bigger platform perhaps outside the boarders of Ghana.
Their fantasies are gradually becoming a reality but come October 27th, only one delegate will be crowned Miss [email protected] 2012, only one delegate will have her fantasy become reality though they are all winners for making it this far in the competition.
To make a delegate?s fantasy become reality viewers are to power their favorites to victory by texting her name to 1757 across all networks. The delegate with the highest votes gets an automatic top 5 spot at the grand finale and one step away from winning the 3C?s that?s the crown, car and the cash on October 27TH .

The most expensive product in the world? Gold caviar!
The favorite aristocrats' dainty has acquired a new look. How much does a kilogram of gold caviar cost?
We already know about gold burgers, sushi, ice creams and many other delicious dishes which feature gold in some form. But gold caviar is a completely different level of ultimate luxury!
Secret of success
Austrian entrepreneur Walter Grüll has become the 'father' of an extravagant delicacy worth 200,000 euros per kilogram. The masterpiece, which looks like a thin golden powder, is made of white caviar of albino sturgeons mixed with gold flakes.
Tips from the caviar lord
Walter suggests preparing gold butter for sandwiches with his exclusive caviar or adding it to a soup, risotto, sauce or pasta. This ingredient will give the dish an inexpressible color and taste.
Mr. Grüll asserts that the caviar is extracted from the fish bred in ecologically clean water and edible gold is not just a fad for beauty and value boost, but also a real benefit for the body (especially for immune system).
You can eat gold but why not to earn with it?
Physical gold bars can become your mighty shield against inflation and a basis for business which makes it possible to earn thousand euros a month.

Alt.ercations: alt.theatre's Uphill Climb
By: Nikki Shaffeeullah
alt.ruisums | Good intentions
I always suspected that the fight for social equality for marginalized groups and the transformative power of the arts were somehow linked. However, even as an idealistic adolescent this seemed dubious: everything I witnessed about real-world productivity seemed to involve a division of labour conducive neither to social justice activism nor creative expression, let alone a conscious union of the two. However, the perfect mix of opportunity and audacity led me to experiment with things like anti-racist organizing and acting classes.
Some years ago, I finished my undergraduate degree and found myself moving around the country with dreams of saving the world through theatre. After shuffling from Montreal to Victoria, I encountered director and facilitator Lina de Guevara. I picked her brain about her work and methodology: How do you sustain a culturally diverse theatre company in a small city like Victoria? Are there other companies like yours? How do you sustain community-based theatre work anywhere? How do you devise an original show when there are barely enough resources to rehearse a pre-written script? How do immigrant artists establish themselves in the Canadian theatre? How can we invest ourselves in marginalized theatre practices when theatre itself is so often marginalized by the rest of society? At one point she kindly handed me a stack of alt.theatre back issues. I had come across alt.theatre once or twice during my four years at McGill University (home to alt's associate editor, Denis Salter, whom I did not know at the time), but for whatever reason I had not taken the time to explore it closely. As I flipped through the stack, it opened my eyes to the legacy of discourse and practice that I had been unknowingly looking for.
alt.theatre introduced me to the work of innovative artists in different pockets of Canada and abroad, and articulated issues that I felt but had not been able to put into words. Reading alt empowered me as an emerging artist to experiment, collaborate, push the envelope, strive for artistic excellence, resist the urge to self-censor, and put myself into my practice. A few pieces in particular have leapt out at me throughout alt's life so far, such as Rahul Varma's guest editorial in issue 6.3, When Politics Gets Personal, in which he describes how deliberately conflating the personal and the political in art creates anxiety in socially privileged audience members, and Monique Mojica's inspiring Stories from the Body: Blood Memory and Organic Texts in issue 4.2.
Perhaps what the discovery of alt most offered me was that "alternative" forms of theatre can actually probe society. Not just through community-based and socially intervening projects—although those, to be sure, bear wonderful fruits and open important conversations—but through the very performance of "difference," whatever that may be. When performance space is taken up by diverse bodies and voices, the ensuing theatre has the power to change the popular imagination's conceptions of what is "normal," "good," "interesting." Dr. Catherine Frazee summarized this belief most succinctly in September of this year when speaking at Prismatic (a national, biennial festival dedicated to culturally diverse and Aboriginal arts): "We can work until we drop in the courts and through policy work, but we get nowhere until we've had an impact on culture. Everything we know about justice and being human, that's where all those things happen."
alt.ernatives | Why alt.theatre?
As I take the reins of "Canada's only journal dedicated to the intersection of politics, cultural diversity, social activism and the stage," even my longstanding enthusiasm for alt.theatre can't stop me from asking myself what relevance the-little-theatre-journal-that-could holds today.
In his editorial for alt.theatre 6.4 in June 2009, Ted Little opened a related discussion with the query: Are we there yet? He described the uphill battle alt.theatre faces when it "question[s] prevailing ideologies; resist[s] pressures to link the arts to the commercial values of the market place; counterbalance[s] the individualistic profit motives of corporate forces; and nurture[s] a healthy, pluralistic democracy operating in the interests of a culturally inclusive 'common good.'" In the face of national media's Goliath—"largely preoccupied with battles over whose neoliberal dogma could piss farther"—alt.theatre's David has unflinchingly offered an alternative avenue for critical discourse (5).
So are we there yet? Has alt.theatre completed its job?
This is, after all, twenty-twelve! If the world doesn't meet its apocalyptic demise by the new year, those who take up activist causes can at least put their feet up with the knowledge that oppression has ended. Canada's official policy of multiculturalism turned forty-one this year and America's first Black president is about to lock down his second term. Our Minister of Immigration, Jason Kenney, kept busy in September writing a Guardian article assuring readers that "Canada has not become ugly and intolerant" and covertly collecting the email addresses of LGBTQ Canadians in order to send a mass message describing his party's commitment to protecting gay and lesbian refugees. October marks the first International Day of the Girl Child, a sparkly initiative led by Canadian Minister for the Status of Women Rosa Ambrose. (Never mind that Kenny has over the years opposed same-sex marriage, appointed openly homophobic members to the Immigration and Refugee Board, and removed reference to LGBTQ rights from Canada's Citizenship and Immigration guide. Or that just last month Ambrose voted in favour of Motion 312, which would have reopened the abortion debate and set back her titular "status of women" by decades.) Where is the need for alt.theatre in a society that fancies itself post-racial, post-homophobic, post-sexist, and perhaps even post-postal, as print journalism and snail mail flirt with obsolescence?
In 6.4, Ted answered his own query with, "Apparently not." We weren't yet there then, and we certainly haven't yet arrived. A glance around the country reminds us that Alberta very nearly put the Wildrose Party in the provincial legislature this past spring, a cohort boasting candidates like Ron Leech (who publically explained how his whiteness rendered him a more accessible candidate than any Muslim or Sikh alternative) and Alan Hunsperger (whose blog espoused some of the most virulently homophobic remarks north of Westboro) ("Wildrose"). Pauline Marois' recently elected Parti Quebecois—whose Francocentric prerogative necessarily precludes cultural pluralism—campaigned promising to prohibit civil servants from wearing non-Christian religious apparel ("Ban"). This past August, the Bank of Canada purged a design for a new $100-dollar bill that featured an Asian-looking woman, opting instead for a more "neutral [Caucasian] ethnicity" (Beeby).
alt.itudes | Where are we right now?
What heights have we reached? What is progress and are we making it? While I harbour an apprehensive disinclination to cry progress!, I have begun learning how to embrace signposts of social change. With regard to culturally diverse and Aboriginal theatre in Canada, there have been many such instances in recent years. The AD-HOC (Artists Driving Holisitic Organizational Change) Committee, a coalition of over forty theatre organizations in Canada working toward ethno-cultural equity in the industry, identified in their inaugural statement of values that not a single culturally diverse arts organization in Canada owned a performance space. This year, that barrier began to break with Native Earth Performing Arts announcing their 120-seat black box studio in the Regent Park Arts and Cultural Centre. Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company artistic director Curtis Peeteetuce claims in his interview with Stuart Wright that the upcoming Cree translation of How the Chief Stole Christmas into Cree may very well make it the first-ever full-length play to be professionally produced in Canada wholly in a First Nations language. Peter Hinton, in his stated quest to diversify the stages of the National Arts Centre fulfilled a decades-old dream to mount an all-Aboriginal production of King Lear—although not without its problems, as Kathryn Prince discusses in Assimilating Shakespeare in the National Arts Centre's Algonquin King Lear. These and other signposts of progress remind us that while we might not be there yet, the indicators on the journey are victorious destinations in themselves.
alt.ogether | Where do we go next?
How will existing systems of oppression impact performing artists and arts policy in the future when all live performance nowadays seems to be relegated to the shadows of media better suited to capitalistic enterprise? Will the digital age at last kill the stage arts? Will technology render human performance obsolete? Will all actors one day be replaced by machines and "doing the robot" become known simply as "dancing"?
As a neoliberal agenda continues to erode publically funded culture, artists and arts workers are being forced to spend increasingly larger amounts of their time lobbying and fundraising instead of nurturing their communities through creative processes and products. The need for strategic essentialism seems imperative if allies of the arts want to prove to their detractors and to policy makers that cultural investment begets social and economic benefit. But strategic essentialism, as is seen time and again, only serves to silence those marginalized by power structures within movements. The Occupy movement saw many women fall victim to sexual violence in the street camps, and provoked Indigenous communities to question the protests' neocolonial nomenclature—both groups were repeatedly silenced in the name of supporting the greater cause. People of colour who contested the performance of blackface and other iterations of white privilege during the Quebec student strike were paid little attention by those at the centre of the organizing, who preferred to keep the question of tuition hikes as sole focus.
In her dispatch, Savannah Walling reflects on the widespread arts cuts and suggests, "To build healthy communities, all of us are needed. We contribute through art because we're artists, guided by the ethic of reciprocity as we focus on creative projects tailored for and with our community." As Canada's arts industries continue to grapple with reduced resources and artistic censorship, alt.theatre will continue to situate the roots of the conversation at community. With an understanding that all art is born of communities, has political motivations (whether conscious or unconscious), and holds the potential for social change, alt.theatre will remain a venue to explore diverse and provocative works at both the centre and periphery of the (inter)national imagination.
This article was originally published as the editorial in Issue 10.1 of alt.theatre.

LIRR Long Island Radically Rezoned
LIRR Long Island Radically Rezoned – a regenerative vision for a Living IslandResearch Project, 2010-2011People's Choice Winner, 'Build a Better Burb' competition 1st place, 2010 D3 Natural Systems competitionShortlisted, Living Cities Design competition, 2011Team: Tobias Holler, AIA, LEED AP, Assistant Professor of Architecture at NYIT and principal of independent design practice in Brooklyn, NY Ana Serra, Associate Sustainability Consultant with Buro Happold, NYC Sven Peters, Dipl.-Ing., Brooklyn based architect, founder of Atelier Sven Peters Katelyn Mulry, Senior Architecture Student, NYIT School of Architecture and Design What if Long Island, currently comprised of 117 towns, became a single urban system entity, functioning as a city of 3.1 million inhabitants? Long Island's most unique and defining condition is that of containment and the island itself – a spatial entity unable to expand beyond its own footprint. We explored the possibilities of conceptually capitalizing on this 'insular' condition and imagined Long Island as a 'Living Island', self-sufficient and regenerative. Through Radical Rezoning, this self-contained system, when looked at holistically, has the potential to provide all the necessary resources for its 3.1 million inhabitants, something currently not feasible due to its highly fragmented administrative structure. The relatively low density of suburbia coupled with the densification potential of the downtown areas present a unique opportunity to reintroduce large amounts of open space to the island while maintaining or even increasing its overall population capacity.The proposal aimed to envision how true sustainability may be achievable in Long Island by sharing resources across boundary lines, applying closed loop principles on a macro scale: water, energy and waste neutral and 100% local food production – a completely self-sufficient and waste free island. Sixty years after William Levitt built his first subdivision on the potato fields of the Hempstead Plains, Long Island once again can serve as a testing ground for new settlement patterns.

Intellectual Disabilities
Intellectual Disabilities
Children living with a disability are amongst the most vulnerable in Cambodian society. Few services exist in-country, especially a specialist residential centre like DT's. People living with an intellectual disability are stigmatized and discriminated against within communities. In Cambodia people with disabilities, are more likely to live poverty and people with disabilities suffer from social exclusion and discrimination. In addition, children with disabilities require highly individualized and tailored care that few institutions can offer, especially in the long-term.
DT's Phnom Penh centre shelters up to 30 children and young people living with physical and/or intellectual disabilities. Many of the children are former street children, as well as children who were abandoned or trafficked. Residents benefit from medical care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, psycho-social support, and also attend school outside the centre when appropriate. DT supports children to develop skills, enabling them to gain autonomy and re-integration when possible.
Staff capacity building in disability
Since the beginning of this project in Phnom Penh, one of the main challenges has been hiring qualified staff able to work with children with intellectual disabilities. To face this constraint, regular trainings have been organized with partner organizations to develop and improve the staff's capacities and adapt them to the children's intellectual and physical needs.

Spring was the absolute worst thing that could have EVAH happened to our winter. Mild winter? Ummmm, yeah. We were spoiled, at least those of us who had the opportunity to ride in the mountains in January. And even more riding in February and into the beginning of March. Absolutely great training weather. And we never really got that cold. But then spring hit. And it snowed. Lots. And on the weekends. And it got cold, just last week I was on a ride and decided that I have never been that cold before on a bike. Absolutely miserable.
But not yesterday and not today. Yesterday I went for a ride with Beth in the morning, and we ditched our arm warmers and went sleeveless!! We had a great ride too - working the rollers on route 105. Our legs were barking at us at the end. And today? A lovely run at Chatfield that was almost.....hot. Yep, spring is finally in the air. But because I am from Colorado, I know to not be fooled.....another snow storm could hit. And I certainly won't plant anything in the yard for another week. And my arm warmers and gloves will continue to live in the back seat of my car at least for another month.
Beth and me at the Rage
Ahhhhh, welcome spring! And please please please stay for awhile!

Hello world, I'm trying to get a fresh install of wordpress on GoDaddy hosting with a domain registered with GoDaddy.
I'm having alot of trouble navigating this hosting account. I'd love a WHM manager or a link to access a cPanel, as this is a different UI to what I'm used to.That's an overview of my hosting account. The domain in question is registered with GoDaddy and the nameservers are pointing at the right palce
I clicked on 'hosted domains' and arrived at this screen.
I added the domain in the root '/' folder but it pointed towards the accounts primary domain, so I hit edit and created a new folder under /SHU which is now pending.
I navigated back to the account overview screen and hit 'install applications,' note this action isn't associated with any particular account. I'm troubled by the message 'not compatible.'
Please assist,
Update I've found my way to this screen, but I've always had the option of using the softalicious installer/similar at this point of the process. What's the next step? Thanks.
Now that you have the domain added to the hosting account you can proceed to get the wordpress site installed by going to the home section of your hosting account and selecting the wordpress icon on the right of the screen shot you displayed with the stats and usage on the left side of the screen
@Amadeuslopezart The screen from my third image hasn't changed - it only says not compatible.


text: The Cat-in-the-bag Cozy Comfort Carrier is a secure, comfortable way to travel with your cat. The soft, roomy bag allows him to move and stretch. An adjustable collar allows his head to stay out without him getting loose, so he's not fearing the confinement that scares so many cats about a crate. It secures to a seat-belt. Use it for nail-trimming and medicating, too!
