Rita Barnard (University of Pennsylvania): Nadine Gordimer's Transitions: Modernism, Realism, Rupture
This presentation constructs a framework for a reconsideration of Jump and Other Stories by reading Gordimer's oeuvre in light of new critical discussions of the (ever-contested) relationship between realism and modernism (I pay attention in this regard to Jed Esty and Colleen Lye's introduction to Peripheral Realisms and to Jameson's The Antinomies or Realism). At stake in my reflections are questions of narrative temporality: questions that seem particularly pressing in South African literary studies today. As Leon de Kock has argued in his recent Losing the Plot, post-apartheid literature has remain preoccupied with the idea of "transition," problematic and unfixed as the term might seem. This is certainly true of Gordimer's work. While she has been a key writer on South African spatial politics, she arguably has as much to say about temporality: the ways in which we imagine the relation between past, present, and future. This said, there might be a tension or contradiction between the way in which she holds the linear narratives of national emergence dear (we might call it the Lukacsian aspects of her work) and her interest in the experience and fictional techniques of rupture (we might call these the Benjaminian aspects of her work). I will try to illuminate, though not necessarily resolve this tension by way of close readings of key passages from Jump, as well as from an earlier text, Something Out There.
Susan Barrett (Bordeaux-Montaigne University): "He didn't know how to read the signs": Miscommunication in Nadine Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories
During the Apartheid era, communication was severely restricted on many levels; the strict racial segregation meant that interaction between Whites and Blacks was largely limited to that of master and servant, listing and banning orders hampered the sharing of political ideas and the development of opposition movements, while censorship made the overt diffusion of documents that challenged apartheid ideology virtually impossible. In such a situation, language was no longer a simple means of communication, every day words became codes for forbidden topics and what was left unsaid could be just as important as what was said. Jump and Other Stories is replete with examples of failed communication, sometimes with tragic consequences. At times the miscommunication is deliberate – the narrator in "What were you dreaming?" tells the owners of the car who give him a lift what he thinks they want to hear rather than what is actually going on in his life; in "Some Are Born to Sweet Delight" Rad deliberately hides from Vera the fact that he is interested in her only because he can use her to carry out a terrorist attack. At other times the miscommunication is accidental: in "The Moment Before the Gun Went Off" Van der Vyver's father never told him that the rifle in the cupboard was loaded; in "Once Upon a Time" the parents do not think to explain to their son that razor wire is dangerous. The stories contain numerous phrases indicating a failure to communicate clearly: "he was given to understand" (5), "he couldn't tell his parents" (11), "What happened? I don't know" (33), "They live together with no more unsaid, between them than any other couple" (56), "He never told me, or I didn't listen" (66). Almost paradoxically, although this draws the reader's attention to the unsaid and the potential for misunderstanding, the stories themselves function on a narrative level by not giving the reader vital information until the very end. In "The Moment Before the Gun Went Off", for example, it is only in the very last sentence that the reader discovers that the black man who dies "was not the farmer's boy; he was his son" (117). This first part of this paper will analyse the role of the unsaid in the plot development of the stories. The second part will consider to what extent the miscommunication in the collection is a reflection of life in Apartheid South Africa.
Emna Bedhiafi (University of Tunis and University of Manouba): "More than Just a Writer": the Challenges of Historical Discourse in Jump and Other Stories
The post-apartheid new political, social, and cultural realities imposed on the South African writers a revisitation on a myriad of ideas about the system and society, and a reconsideration of some established discourses, media and truth included. In the light of the changing political trajectory in South Africa, Nadine Gordimer questions again race and social class stratification in her collection Jump and Other Stories, written simultaneously with—but on various occasions, with the gradual ending of—the apartheid regime. The new realities, and more often than not implications of the old political regime, make their poignant presence in Gordimer's Jump anthology, thus asserting again the writer's overt commitment to the plight of South Africa. The various historical revelations that reverberate within almost every story in the Jump collection echo Gordimer's view that "the novel can present history as historians cannot."[1] This paper therefore takes interest in exploring the historical moment of ending apartheid throughout Jump and Other Stories, as an attempt to display the various challenges of interpreting the historical discourse under the political, social and cultural changes. Based on theoretical perspectives derived from the postcolonial framework, the study will discuss Gordimer's ambivalent idea of writing which is located in the midst of the desire to "just write well"[2] and the ethical obligation to be "more than just a writer."[3] The challenge of reading Jump as "history from the inside" is displayed in the exploration of memory, confession, and post-truth and the topoi of self- re/de bordering and leap. Innovation at the level of form, which attempts at subverting genres, multivocality and politicising space, will also be discussed.
Nicolas Pierre Boileau (LERMA, Aix-Marseille University): 'More important than anything we could ever have to say to each other when we're alone': The Politics of the Couple in Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories
Jump and Other Stories is marked by variations on the theme of incomprehension, both characters and readers facing a world presented as enigmatic through the simple, recurrent phrase, 'I don't know'. These stories stage unhappy couples, homes that are unsafe, and characters that remain oblivious to their desires and motivations. At the heart of all relationships, but perhaps more so in marriage, is the failure of language to bring people together. From a traditional point of view, the association of knowing and of coupling may offer an ironic, indirect route to the exploration of the symbolic function of the union in these stories. This resonates with the state of a Nation that was about to implement legal, if not actual, reunification. The couple is seen as a site of subjective danger (in 'Some are Born to Sweet Delight' or 'Safe Houses'), characterised by misunderstanding and lack of communication ('Home', 'Jump') – often hidden behind the veil of successful sexual intercourse and open discussions of bodily matters. Even for those involved in politics, the intimate experience of the couple leads to the notion of togetherness being questioned. The gift for language is precisely what precipitates the main character's (down)fall in 'Jump' – both in his public and private life. The 'Find' of Gordimer's tales might well be that 'they live together with no more unsaid…than any other couple.' If the black and white divide persists in these South African stories, the exploration of the couple offers a political reflection of/on the different modalities by which 'contact' may be construed as 'the flash of fireflies', as Gordimer put it. This paper shall address the different ways in which the author explores repeatedly failed relationships, torn between knowing and not knowing, the said and the unsaid, falling in and out of love, home and the city, etc. This will help us address the random aspect of the interplay between the individual and the collective (as in 'Amnesty'), whereby Gordimer's so-called realism may be reappraised, as she suggests in 'Adam's Rib', as more concerned with the real than realities.
Stephen Clingman (University of Massachusetts): Nadine Gordimer's Home
The history of the home in South Africa has been a fraught and devastated one, from the beginnings of colonial settlement to the depredations of apartheid and beyond. Much of that history was in a sense about the home: who belonged; who belonged where; who had a right to belong; what the viability and inviolability of the home meant. It also concerned a dialectic between the home as the physical place of habitation and the country as home—the place of belonging (or unbelonging) for the people as a whole. As much if not more than any other South African writer, Nadine Gordimer has been drawn to the complexities and complicities of the home in both these narrow and wide respects. There is also a further dialectic in her work, between the broken and fragmented home of the present and the intimation of a more unified and just home of the future. In her own life Gordimer never lost her sense of South Africa as home; and the intricacies of home in all these guises has prompted a persistent set of motifs in her fiction. My presentation will explore some of those motifs in her work in general, and in Jump and Other Stories in particular. Via Heidegger, Adorno and Levinas, it will also explore some of the philosophical dimensions of dwelling—yet a further dialectic between the closed and open dwelling, and what that means for the political, psychological, and existential nature of the home. All of this is part of Gordimer's fictional territory of the home—the home, as it were, of her writing.
Christian Gutleben (University Nice Sofia-Antipolis): Metonymy Thwarted: When the Part is Segregated from the Whole in Nadine Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories
In Nadine Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories, the sense of fragmentation and segregation is overwhelming. The very nature of the collection, with its sixteen very dissimilar stories, already foregrounds the idea of heterogeneity, but it is the structural and narratological organisation of the individual pieces that best illustrates the lack or impossibility of unity. Isolated as they are, either by free will or by political decree, the dwelling places of the various protagonists eloquently show how, in terms of spatial and hence political planning, the part is never included in the whole; in other words, they show how the principle of metonymy is systematically thwarted if not undermined. The fact that the stories are usually told in a mixed narrative and enunciative mode, the fact that they always comprise several speakers and the fact that these speakers do not generally speak the same language convey the same lack of wholeness. The failure of metonymy is then what this collection of short stories mainly emphasises and regrets and this discontent extends to the ontological field with an eco-friendly demonstration of the unacknowledged continuity and contiguity between the various human and animal species. Even the extended metatextuality practised by Gordimer might be said to partake of such metonymic disjunction since her specular comments disrupt the sense of diegetic wholeness and create isolated pockets of metafictional remarks with a clear centrifugal force directed towards the extra-diegetic reader. If the principle of metonymy is then proven malfunctioning or even impracticable in the bulk of the collection, the last story manifestly introduces the hope of metonymic inclusion and modifies then the collection's whole teleology, presenting metonymy as the final goal and promise.
Françoise Král (University Paris Nanterre): A Symptomatology of an Unreconciled Nation: Nadine Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories
This paper proposes to reflect on the construction of anonymity in Nadine Gordimer's collection of short stories Jump through a focus on instances of delayed telling, belated unveiling and partial outlining of characters. I will discuss the blurring of the lines of personhood not only through the narratorial lens of the dynamics of characterization and the building up of dramatic intensity, which is characteristic of short stories as opposed to novels, but as part of a discussion of the dual polarity – individuation vs typification – which is underpinned by an ethical and political reflexion on the difficulty inherent in conceiving of a collective 'we' in a post-apartheid society. The systematic use of pronouns in Jump and Other Stories contrasts with the maimed, disfigured and dismembered bodies left to rot on the road (in 'Keeping Fit'), as though to numb the horrors of a society plagued by apartheid and apartheid-induced violence. This pronominal haziness carves out textual space for a façade of the collective 'we' to emerge – across gendered, racial and social lines of fragmentation. These convenient anonymities, sometimes disguised in sentences in the passive (in 'Jump') can be read as a symptom of an 'unagregated society', a juxtaposition of coexisting groups which fail to form a closely-knit social fabric and continue to resemble a quilted surface where the stitches are all too visible. 'We' – as the collective – requires another impetus, a surfeit of togetherness, a leap of faith which is yet to happen. Looked at in this light the pronominal divides sketch a symptomatology of the unagregated social fabric which has yet to come together as an organic whole.
Liliane Louvel (University of Poitiers) : Nadine Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories: "The Enigma of the Encounter" : a World out of Joint
Jump and Other Stories, one of the many finely crafted collection of short stories Nadine Gordimer published, begins and ends with a potent image. First that of the mosaic of the hotel name LEBUVU and the reference to a film and its « series of dissolves » » focussing on « a single figure, the hero, the criminal. Himself. ». The last one is rendered through the eyes of a young expecting mother watching a rat of clouds eating at the sky, while waiting for the future. Between those two images this fantastic collection of stories unrolls its kaleisdocopic-like world moving on towards a future after having taken its reader through the turmoils of a nation torn between its violent past and present and yet on the brink of change. I will argue that in this kaleidoscopic collection former seminal stories surge up and are recaptured under another form and that the sense of place and time staging the (im)possible encounter between people separated by force of law for fifty years gives the collection a very tense rhythm tinged with irony, outrage, scepticism and wonder at the violence threatening the private lives of those living under a cruel racist rule, in a world dis-located and out of joint.
Hubert Malfray (Lycée Claude-Fauriel, IHRIM): Traces, Tracks and Trails : Hunting for Sense in Nadine Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories
If Nadine Gordimer's 1991 collection of stories explores the last decade of Apartheid and its political implications, it is undoubtedly marked by the overarching presence of violence, oppression and aggressiveness – sometimes overt, sometimes subsumed. Her choice of the short story as a genre allows her to experience the multiple facets of a tension which keeps nagging at her characters and their trajectories. Dissimilar as the stories may appear, they very often stage characters who are launched in a form of hunting game, offering, as Judie Newman noted, "a script for predation" (in N. Yousaf, Apartheid Narratives). Predation is not simply a recurring motif vaguely to be found in the looming presence of animality or bodily preoccupations; if lots of characters are indeed tracked down, experiencing fear, even anxiety at the idea of being caught by others – blending the political and the sexual – the seme of predation and hunting rather turns into a fully-fledged paradigm inviting the reader to consider the collection of short stories as a network of traces: the traces, first, left by characters who are on the run, enticing the reader to discover clues, scents and hints to reach the revelation of some epiphanic truth. But tracing the characters could also be a metaphorical means of tracing identity, which, in the complex cross-cultural context of South Africa, turns out to be a real challenge: the challenge of the self, of defining one's roots, of retrieving one's origins, all the more so as the latter recoil from the page. It could also be a means to envisage short story writing as Gordimer's way of negotiating with the traces, marks and scars left by History, and more particularly by the history of literature, which the writer keeps putting to the test in order to try and hunt for a new type of literary form. Such literary experimentation would provide an artistic mirror to grasp the intricacies of an entangled period of time. This analysis shall be guided, among others, by Carlo Ginzburg's formulations about the link between story-telling/narrating and hunting, an ancestral metaphor of cognition by means of clues, ranging the stories not far from tales of detection.
Fiona McCann (University of Lille): A Poetics of Liminality: Nadine Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories
As Sorcha Gunne states in Space, Place, and Gendered Violence in South African Writing (Palgrave, 2014), "liminality is not a third space or a neat hybrid, but a state of transformation. It is the moment where, in the process of changing from one thing to another, both old and new states are experienced simultaneously" (32). It is not only the date of publication of Gordimer's Jump and Other Stories (1990) that positions it as a text which can fruitfully be analysed through the prism of liminality. Although the collection was published in 1990, the year in which apartheid began to crumble and the transition began, all of the stories had been published prior to this in various literary journals and magazines. Indeed, Gordimer had clearly been interested in the politics of liminality at least from as early as 1982 when she delivered her lecture "Living in the Interregnum" at the New York Institute of the Humanities (later published in The Essential Gesture in 1988). Her evident affinity with the prison writings of Antonio Gramsci arguably led her to interrogate the dying days of apartheid long before the government was even aware of coming change. It will be my contention in this paper that Nadine Gordimer's 1990 collection of stories develops a poetics of liminality which is characterised not only by spatial and temporal in-betweenness, but by an aesthetics built, precariously, on a "place of shifting ground" ("Living in the Interregnum"). The stories in Jump deftly interweave elements of realism and postmodernism, extreme violence and tenderness, along with political critique and aesthetic liberties. Sometimes heavy-handed, sometimes full of finesse, these stories present « liminal circumstances » which « provide a potential platform for social cohesiveness » (Gunne 36) even as they destabilise important signifiers such as "home". I will argue that the short story genre is particularly apt for this focus on the margins, that its brevity brings into relief the central question of transition and transformation, and that the collective dimension provides many facets of liminality.
Mathilde Rogez (University of Toulouse): The Essential Narrative: Constructing Characters, Exploring Genres in Nadine Gordimer's transitional collection Jump and Other Stories
Re-reading the eponymous short story which opens Nadine Gordimer's collection Jump and Other Stories after the Truth and Reconciliation Commission proves a rather eerie experience, as if the author had presciently crafted one of the many tales that the TRC would trigger years later. This paper offers to reexamine "Jump", but also the rest of the collection, in the light of the categories Michiel Heyns later devised about this flow of narratives, dividing them between tales of – often spurious – heroism, confessional yet nostalgic fictions in which the subject berates him or herself to beg for absolution, and quasi autobiographical fictions which conversely refrain from such easy reconciliatory gestures.[4] At the start of the period of political transition, yet another variation on what Gordimer had earlier labelled an "interregnum", she indeed navigates various ways not only of "invent[ing]" "alternate lives", but also of exploring the modes in which these can be narrated. Alternating between narrative modes and points of view, within the collection as well as within several short stories themselves, Gordimer presents and investigates various modes of positioning oneself – in an almost Sartrean meaning of the word, albeit always tentatively – in the then already unfolding national narrative of heroism and/or unbearable guilt, simultaneously reassessing various genres of writing – the fairy tale most notably, the epic (if only according to the Nobel Prize committee[5]), but also the genre of the short story itself and its specificities. Published in the year when she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for both her literary achievements and her unflinching political involvement, this collection thus allows to see how she skillfully combines a commitment to both politics and poetics – to "writing and being", to borrow the title of her Nobel Lecture.
Michal Tal (Technion – Israel Institute of Technology): A Change of Clothes: Attempting to Break the Dress Code of Jump and Other Stories
Owing to its highly political context, Nadine Gordimer's fiction has often been analyzed more at its content-related and ideological level, than at its poetic one. Thus, various commentators have called for a different reading of her work, focusing on its form and style as her poetic means of conveying this political content. This papers offers a close reading of several stories included in Jump and Other Stories, concentrating on the main imagery used by Gordimer to elucidate the movement taking place along the stories. In particular, it seeks to show how pieces of garment serve as metaphors for the paths chosen by the different protagonists and the cultural and social institutions whose conventions they practice. A focus will be placed on the various institutions referred to throughout these stories, e.g., marriage, prison, holiday, parenthood, home, religion, which are poetically hinted at by means of clothing items and accessories, ranging from trousers and a warm coat to an old doek. This use of imagery will be read bearing in mind Sandra Gilbert's notion that costume imagery used by modernist women writers tends to be "radically revisionary in a political as well as a literary sense". My paper will suggest that the struggle for freedom, intimacy and identity, as well as the profoundly distinct journeys each protagonist goes on in stories such as "Amnesty", "My Father Leaves Home", "Some Are Born to Sweet Delight", and "Home", may be made clearer analyzing this rich world of imagery.

The gents over at GearLive just finagled this screenshot out of a Best Buy employee, purportedly detailing a new text messaging plan AT&T plans to launch next week.
Under the terms of the new plans, anybody subscribing after January 23rd will have two choices:
- $10 a month for 1000 texts, with an overage fee of 10 cents per message
- $20 a month for unlimited texts
As is par for the course, the arrival of new plans means some of the old plans are going away. Also beginning January 23rd, AT&T will no longer offer the $15/1500 Texts or $5/200 Texts plans. If you've already got either plan in your contract, however, you're all set — hurray for contract grandfathering!
Why the change? Who knows! It's presumably timed around the launch of the Verizon iPhone, but the new plans aren't really… better. $10 for 1000 texts still breaks down to the same $1 per 100 rate as the $15 for 1500 plan, and the $20/Unlimited plan is unchanged. Lower text allotments at the same price-per-text just means folks will start rackin' up overages faster, you know?

The British Parliament seized control of the Brexit process from Prime Minister Theresa May and will now seek to decide how Britain exits the European Union.
In a vote late Monday, the House of Commons split 329-302 to schedule votes on a series of alternative strategies, potentially including a second referendum, keeping the United Kingdom in the bloc's customs union, leaving without a deal and even canceling Brexit altogether.
The pound rose immediately after the result, before paring gains. Early Tuesday, it was trading down 0.1 percent.
Three ministers resigned to back the plan, which sets up the possibility that MPs could force the beleaguered premier to abandon her deal with Brussels and implement their choice. One of them, Steve Brine, said Tuesday the pro-Brexit faction in his Conservative Party should see the result as an indication Parliament will push to keep closer ties to the European Union.
"Maybe what last night will do is focus some minds for those on my side who don't like the deal," Brine told BBC Radio. "Maybe they will realize that the House of Commons is prepared to act and anything from here gets softer in terms of Brexit."
In a sign of how far May has lost the trust of MPs, even on her own side, the defeat came despite last-minute promises from her government that it would implement the plan itself if lawmakers voted against it.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the BBC it's now "very clear" that politicians who want to deliver on the Brexit referendum result must back the prime minister's deal.
"Even for colleagues of mine who want to go down the no-deal route, it's clear the House of Commons is not going to let that happen," Hancock said, a warning to the pro-Brexit wing of the Tory party.
Meanwhile, the clock is continuing to tick down. The EU has ruled that if Parliament doesn't approve May's deal by Friday, the U.K. has until April 12 to come up with a case for a much longer delay to Brexit, or leave the bloc immediately with no agreement.
While Parliament was forcing its way into the driving seat, those who were supposed to be controlling the process remained passive. After reports at the weekend that May's Cabinet would tell her it was time for her to go, the subject of her departure wasn't even raised in its meeting on Monday, according to people present.
Neither was there a decision about whether to try to put the prime minister's deal to Parliament again. According to one person at the meeting, the main agreement was that the alternatives to getting her plan through were grim.
In the House of Commons, May set out the choices as she saw them. "Unless this House agrees to it, no-deal will not happen," she said. "No Brexit must not happen; and a slow Brexit that extends Article 50 beyond May 22, forces the British people to take part in European elections, and gives up control of any of our borders, laws, money or trade, is not a Brexit that will bring the British people together."
Later, in answer to questions, she raised two more options: "Either a second referendum or an election." Both are unattractive to many MPs.
There were signs that her warnings were working with some supporters of a harder Brexit. Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of the hardline European Research Group of Tory MPs, said he would be prepared to back her deal if Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party gave its blessing.
But his comments, made to a meeting of the group in Westminster on Monday evening according to a person in the room, depend on a big shift by the DUP. The party's Brexit spokesman, Sammy Wilson, was scathing to the prime minister in the Commons, accusing her of using Northern Ireland as an "excuse" and the focus of "scare tactics" to get her deal through.
Having voted to take control, Parliament now has to decide what to do with it. The first stage is the "indicative votes," scheduled for Wednesday. Although the exact format hasn't been agreed, it is likely to mean lawmakers voting on a series of Brexit options on a piece of paper.
The idea is that by allowing MPs to vote simultaneously for as many options as they like, some of the game-playing that has characterized Brexit votes so far will be avoided.
"It's essential we should be able to look at all the serious options, not wild unicorns, but things we could actually do to carry this process forward," former Tory minister Oliver Letwin, who proposed the plan, told Parliament on Monday. "We should allow ourselves a couple of days to do what should have been done over a couple of years."
Options on the table are likely to include various closer relationships with the EU than May plans, and perhaps holding a second Brexit referendum.
It's possible that none of these will get the support of a majority, or that several will. May said she reserves the right not to abide by the result, though her spokesman said this reflected the possibility that Parliament might vote for something unattainable.
"The government's approach has been an abject failure and this House must now find a solution," opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said. "Where this government has failed, this House must, and I believe will, succeed."

Pretties is the second book in the amazing dystopian series by Scott Westerfeld.
Tally Youngblood is has now been transformed into a flawless 'pretty'. She lives in New Pretty Town and parties all night long. Tally couldn't be happier. Her only concern right now is to be included in the clique 'The Crims'. Shay and Peris, Tally's best friends, are a part of The Crims and Tally wants more than anything to be in the 'in' group with her friends. In order to be included in this group, she needs to prove her rebellious and 'bubbly' side to the group's leader, Zane. While trying to be accepted by the pretties, she captures the attention of the intriguing Zane.
As Zane and Tally start spending more time together when Tally is accepted into The Crims, she begins to remember jumbled things about her past. When Zane explains to Tally how to keep your mind 'bubbly', the fog begins to clear and she can remember more about her past life as an 'ugly'. In between falling for Zane and learning more about how to keep her mind clear, Tally receives two pills. Attached to the pills is a letter addressed to herself… from herself. Will Tally put her faith in the letter and trust that the pills won't kill her? Most importantly, will Tally put faith in herself?
Amidst all the mayhem, Tally finds herself falling in love with Zane and together they fight to keep their minds… their souls, alive…
I really enjoyed reading Pretties. I found that this book was so different to Uglies because Tally was completely changed by becoming a pretty. I can't imagine what it must be like to become pretty and forget about what mattered most to you. What Tally decided at the end of Uglies would have been such a huge thing to decide. After choosing to become pretty and knowing what will happen to you… I just can't image how hard that must have been for Tally. But I still really liked Tally as a character because she was so interesting to follow, even though she was a 'bubblehead' at the start of the book. I absolutely fell in love with Zane. The way he taught Tally so much and helped her remember her past was just so touching. I feel that Tally and Zane connected a lot better than Tally and David did. I liked this book a lot because I loved seeing Tally slowly begin to remember her past and what she used to be like. It was interesting to watch the transformations of Zane and Tally when they began to reclaim their minds and their souls. I found this book so interesting, deep and beautifully written. I also liked how Scott Westerfeld kind of created a new language for New Pretty Town because it made me feel like this was a new world compared to Uglyville. Overall, I loved reading Pretties by Scott Westerfeld and I'd give it a score of 9 out of 10. Wonderful!

The Canadian Health Care System is one that is flawed, unfortunately regardless of what Canadians or anyone else whom lives in a country with free health care thinks, these health care systems cost more than anyone could possibly imagine. A new article written by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, an institute which is rarely wrong has stated that unless changes to the system are made in the upcoming decades then health care will take up 100% of the total available provincial budgets.
Most Canadians believe that it is their right to have free health care, it is far from it. It is a privilege to have free health care but as time passes on, as our population throughout the world increases, free health care will be a system of the past. There are multiple ways in which the Canadian Government could rejuvenate revenue into the system.
One of the best ways would be for the government to create a toll which required Canadian citizens to pay only $1 each time when using the 400 Series. Yes, this could cost $5 a day for a small portion of the population but knowing its going entirely to the health care system should be more than enough of a reason to do so.
The amount of money that would be generated would be more than the health care system needs, Provinces would then be able to use their yearly budgets on other aspects which in return would rejuvenate the country as a whole. Most Canadian Citizens can't see past their greed though.

In a statement Scott Zeiger, co-CEO of BASE Entertainment, said, "Though the show will have had a very successful 22-month run, the producers have collectively determined that in light of the current global economic landscape, it's in the show's best interest to close during the traditionally slow winter as it pursues another, perhaps more intimate venue, on the Las Vegas Strip."
Stomp Out Loud opened on April 17, 2007, as part of the new Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. By closing, the cast will have performed more than 600 times in the custom-built, 1,500-seat theatre.
Stomp continues its run at Off-Broadway's Orpheum Theatre, on North American tour, in London and on a European tour.
Directed and created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, Stomp Out Loud bears the same name as the duo's Emmy Award-winning HBO special of 1997.
Billed as a "journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday, and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and percussion," the show features a cast double the size of the original production with new sequences and choreography. Stomp Out Loud is produced by BASE Entertainment with the producers of Stomp, including Columbia Artist Theatricals LLC, Schuster Entertainment Inc., Marc Routh Productions, Richard Frankel Productions in association with Yes/No Productions.

CTIC is a Sino-Danish research center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation and by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NFSC). The center is a tight collaboration between the Computer Science Department at Aarhus University, Denmark and IIIS, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Research within the center focuses on four related areas of theoretical computer science:
• Computational Complexity Theory, the study of computational resources needed to do computation, providing the necessary foundation for understanding feasibility or infeasibility of computational tasks.
• Cryptography, the study of how interactive computation can be made secure, a crucially important ingredient in an internet-based society.
• Quantum Informatics, the study of how information processing works when the behavior of communication and computing equipment is governed by quantum mechanics, a study that becomes necessary, as our electronic equipment grows too small for classical physics to apply.
• Algorithmic Game Theory, the study of how multi-agent systems behave when agents have conflicting interests, a necessary perspective towards understanding interaction on networks spanning diverse sectors and countries across the globe.
The four areas represent different perspectives on our main subject, and each of them offers a necessary contribution to the scientific challenge of interactive computing. On the other hand, they are, in fact, intimately related, and very exciting research opportunities are just now emerging in the border areas between them.

"Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love." – Bradley Whitford
They always say we should take risks. Act on faith and leap. Do ballsy things to produce impactful significance. But doing so requires a level of confidence. Or a hefty load of guts that doesn't seem to always be present. Actually it appears during the initial idea stage, during the planning portion too, but for a brief moment, the longest brief moment ever experienced, it vanishes only to come reappear during execution.
This weekend, Twenties Unscripted hosted it's second annual See. Speak. Feel showcase consisting of 4 musical performances, 9 spoken word artists, 2 prose readings, a live painter, and art showcased from 6 different artists. Simply put: It was a night filled with magic from creatives that exude the utmost faith and own an admirable vulnerability.
When I signed up to share a blog post, I thought, "Hey Yetti, get this off your social anxiety list." and that was that. But as the weeks went by, I was asked to submit a bio, reminded to submit a picture too, and then lastly, I had to select what I was going to read. I think at that point it became more than just a bucket list item. It was a reading. It was storytelling in another form. It was me being vulnerable, but not behind my computer screen, but in front of a live audience, and that was huge.
I chose to read "I Don't Believe In Fairytales, But I Believe In Love", because in order to read this piece, I would need the same kind of courage it took for me to write and post it in the first place. I was assured that this showcase had a loving audience, and that the aura was accepting and encouraging. And it was exactly that, because when I took the stage and read behind my phone, stumbled and lost my place as nerves consumed me, that black box theatre, filled with only four people I knew personally, fed me an energy that forced me to get through that reading.
I don't mean to sound repetitive, I am fully aware my last few posts have been centered upon faith. But I'm at a place in life that's requiring so much of this faith to get me to the next step. And Saturday was the next step. It was all the cliche quotes of believing in myself, surrounding myself with like minded people, and creating and participating in something beautiful despite the sweat beads forming along my nose. It was me saying "Fuck Social Anxiety" again, with Tass, Erica and Ty to hold my hand as I did so. It was me being my biggest fan, something I often forget to do. But most of all, it was me doing more than seeing and speaking faith. I felt it.

MAGNY-COURS, France, July 16 - Michael Schumacher has always said that he will only truly reflect on his extraordinary Formula One achievements when he retires.
|Ferrari's Formula One driver Michael Schumacher of Germany celebrates on the podium after his victory at the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours July 16, 2006. [Reuters]
The 37-year-old's victory for Ferrari in France made him both the first driver to win the same grand prix eight times and the first to make 150 appearances on the Formula One podium.
He already held the record of seven wins at the same circuit -- the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, in Canada and France. Only France's Alain Prost and the late Ayrton Senna came close to that.
Prost won six times in France and Brazil, while Senna ruled Monaco's street circuit with six wins in the Mediterranean principality.
Yet Prost, the four times world champion who is always the next name down in the list after Schumacher, had 'only' 106 podium finishes.
Among current Formula One drivers, the next most familiar with the podium are Briton David Coulthard and Rubens Barrichello with 61 apiece.
France has been special to the German, who won at Magny-Cours in 1994 with Benetton and 1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2004 with Ferrari before Sunday's success.
Yet he attributed his latest win less to the track or his own prowess than to the mechanics working tirelessly to fix his car after it caught fire in Saturday's final practice before qualifying.
"Great guys behind me," he said, when asked what was so special about the race.
"If you think about the problem I had on Saturday, to get the car together to do the qualifying, to get pole position, to guess the set-up from there on, to get the tyres sorted, they did a really great job." Schumacher has 88 wins now, from 243 starts. And, after more than a decade as a grand prix winner, he can see a leading question miles off.
Asked on Sunday whether he thought he could reach 100 career wins -- something that he can only do if he stays on for at least another season, he smiled.
"Find out", he replied.

We uncovered new Android malware that can surreptitiously install other malware on the affected device via the Toast Overlay attack: TOASTAMIGO, detected by Trend Micro as ANDROIDOS_TOASTAMIGO. The malicious apps, one of which had over 500,000 installs as of November 6, 2017, abuses Android's Accessibility features, enabling them—at least for now—to have ad-clicking, app-installing and self-protecting/persistence capabilities.
Overlay attacks entail drawing and superimposing Android View (i.e., images, buttons) atop other running apps, windows or processes. A typical scenario for a Toast Overlay attack is to employ it to trick the user into clicking a window or button specified by the attacker instead of the legitimate one. The technique, which was demonstrated earlier this year, leverages a vulnerability in Toast (CVE-2017-0752, patched last September), a feature in Android used to display notifications over other applications.Read More

When I first came to the team I didn't know much about real estate. The most knowledge I had came from purchasing a house earlier this year. So when I first got a message from Anndrea (one of our Inside Sales Associates) telling me there was an open position at the Kelly Anne Harris team I knew I need to do some research before I dove in. I was immediately drawn to the personality of the team and the close knit appearance that I saw through social media.
What I didn't know is how genuine that feeling really is around the office. Not only were they people that I wanted to be around, the professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond for clients is unmatched in my professional career.
I am now the Transaction Coordinator on the Kelly Anne Harris Team and couldn't be happier. I am responsible for any deal after it goes under contract which means I communicate with the lenders, agents, title companies, etc… My job is to take our deals through closing to make the process as seamless and stress free as possible for our clients. I love working with people so this position fit my personality perfectly! And I feel lucky to be surrounded by people who are dedicated and willing to work at 110% and who believe that there is always room to grow and learn.

Five Seminoles honored on All White Kits preseason shortlists.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (August 9, 2013) – With this week marking the start of the 2013 soccer season, Florida State continues to make preseason headlines as five Seminoles were honored on All White Kit's preseason shortlists including Kelsey Wys, Kristin Grubka, Kassey Kallman, Dagny Brynjarsdottir and Isabella Schmid.
Wys is one of 15 goalkeepers named to AWK's preseason Golden Glove Award list, while Grubka and Kallman are on the list for Defender of the Year. Brynjarsdottir and Schmid were named to the Midfielder of the Year list.
Last year, the Florida State defense set school records for shutouts (17), goals against average (0.62) and fewest goals allowed in ACC play (4). The Seminole backline went on to finish the season ranked in the top 40 nationally in shutouts percentage (2nd), GAA (12th) and save percentage (36th).
Wys has 68 career starts under her belt and has posted a record of 51-15-2 with 30 shutouts and a GAA of 0.82 as the Seminole goalkeeper for the last three seasons. Kallman enters her senior season with 66 career starts and 22 points on eight goals and six assists. Grubka has made 35 consecutive starts in her two seasons at Florida State and was just one of four Seminoles to start every game in 2012. The junior defender has 25 career points on eight goals and nine assists.
Brynjarsdottir is back for her junior campaign as the Seminoles' top returning scorer. The Icelandic native posted single-season career-highs in every offensive category last year including goals (9), assists (9), points (27), shots (40) and game-winning goals (5). Schmid led all Seminole freshman a season ago with 19 starts tallying over 1500 minutes on the pitch. The German midfielder finished with three points (one goal, one assist) while recording 25 shots.
Florida State opens the 2013 season at home against Oregon State on Friday, August 23. Admission to every home game inside the Seminole Soccer Complex is free of charge. Seminole fans are encouraged to follow the Florida State Soccer team on twitter at @FSU_Soccer and remember to like the team on Facebook at www.facebook.com/FSUSoccer.

As the U.S. prepared to go to war in Iraq last winter, the most compelling reason advanced by George W. Bush to justify a new kind of pre-emptive war was that Saddam Hussein possessed nuclear, chemical and biological arms weapons of mass destruction (WMD). "There's no doubt in my mind but that they currently have chemical and biological weapons," said Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in January. "We believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons," said Vice President Dick Cheney in March. That Iraq might have WMD was never the only reason the Bush Administration wanted to topple Saddam. But it was the big reason, the casus belli, the public rationale peddled over and over to persuade a skeptical nation, suspicious allies and a hostile United Nations to get behind the controversial invasion. And while that sales pitch fell flat overseas, it worked better than expected at home: by late March, 77% of the public felt that invading U.S. troops would find WMD.
But eight weeks after the war's end, most of that confident intelligence has yet to pan out, and a growing number of experts think it never will. Current and former U.S. officials have begun to question whether the weapons will ever be found in anything like the quantities the U.S. suggested before the war if found at all and whether the U.S. gamed the intelligence to justify the invasion.
For now, WMD seems to stand for weapons of mass disappearance. Smarting from the accusations that they had cooked the books, top U.S. officials fanned out late last week to say the hunt would go on and the weapons would eventually be found. CIA officials told TIME that they would produce a round of fresh evidence for increasingly wary lawmakers as early as next week. After dispatching dozens of G.I. patrols to some 300 suspected WMD sites in Iraq over the past two months, only to come up empty-handed, the Pentagon announced last week that it will shift from hunting for banned weapons to hunting for documents and people who might be able to say where banned weapons are or were. But it is clear that the U.S. is running out of good leads. "We've been to virtually every ammunition supply point between the Kuwaiti border and Baghdad," Lieut. General James T. Conway, commander of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, said last week. "But they're simply not there."
Wherever they are, the missing weapons are beginning to cause trouble elsewhere. Overseas, British Prime Minister Tony Blair is under fire from critics for overstating the case for war (see related story). The accusations came at an awkward moment for Bush, as he began a seven-day diplomatic trip to smooth over relations in Europe and seek peace in the Middle East. Moreover, mistrust about the Iraqi intelligence was growing just as the Administration began to make a similar case against Iran. In order to defend the credibility of his agency, CIA Director George Tenet took the unusual step of issuing a statement last Friday dismissing suggestions that the CIA politicized its intelligence. "Our role is to call it like we see it, to tell policymakers what we know, what we don't know, what we think and what we base it on. That's the code we live by." Asked to translate, an intelligence official explained that if there was a breakdown on the Bush team, it wasn't at the agency. "There's one issue in terms of collecting and analyzing intelligence," he said. "Another issue is what policymakers do with that information. That's their prerogative."
One of the oldest secrets of the secret world is that intelligence work involves as much art as science. While it is difficult, dangerous and expensive to snoop on our enemies with satellite cameras, hidden bugs and old-fashioned dead drops, knowing what all that information really means is the true skill of intelligence work. The information is often so disparate and scattershot that it amounts to little without interpretation.
And interpretation has long been the speciality of the hard-liners who fill so many key foreign-policy posts in the Bush Administration. Unlike his father, who ran the CIA briefly in the mid-'70s and prided himself on revitalizing an embattled spy corps, George W. Bush dotted his foreign-policy team with people who have waged a private war with the CIA for years, men who are disdainful of the way the agency gathers secrets and what it makes of them. Working mainly out of the Pentagon, the hard-liners have long believed that America's spy agency was a complacent captive of the two parties' internationalist wings, too wary and risk averse, too reliant on gadgets and too slow to see enemies poised to strike.

Growing plants indoors using a hydroponics garden generally requires a plant grow light since most houses have limited sunlight indoors. If you place the hydroponics garden by a window, it will only offer direct sunlight for part of the day while the sunlight shines through the window. If you choose to place the hydroponics garden without any exposure to the sunlight then you will definitely need some sort of grow light.
There are several plant grow lights to choose from and each one has its strengths and weaknesses. Even though there are three main types of hydroponics lights to choose from, there are only two types that are viable options for hydroponics. These are HID's and LED's. So which one is better?Credit: jedhakuro
One of the most popular types of plant grow lights is the HID light, or High Intensity Discharge lamp. There are two main types of HID lamps that are common among the hydroponics crowd. These are the high pressure sodium lamp, and the metal halide lamp.
The reigning king for hydroponics lighting is the high pressure sodium light bulb, and it is one of the most popular types of grow lights among serious hydroponics gardeners. High pressure sodium provides the greatest light penetration and glows in the light spectrum most used by plants. This type of grow light produces a lot of light in the red and blue spectrum. Red is the main colors used by plants during flowering, while the blue spectrum is used for vegetative growth. The rest of the color spectrum is largely unused by the plants.Credit: Amazon
High Pressure Sodium Plant Grow Light
The main problem with the high pressure sodium bulb is that it produces a lot of heat and it doesn't produce much in the blue light spectrum. The heat produced can dry out the leaves if you place the plant grow light to close to the plants. It can also raise the temperature in the grow area which could create other problems such as stopping the plants from growing. And of course it consumes a lot of electricity with some bulbs using up to a thousand kilowatts.
Metal halide is another form of HID lighting that is also common with hydroponics growing. Like the high pressure sodium bulb it produces a lot of light; however it doesn't produce as many lumens as the high pressure sodium bulb, and it doesn't produce as much red light. The metal halide bulb makes up for this shortcoming by producing more light in the blue spectrum then the high pressure sodium lamps which plants use for vegetative growth.Credit: Amazon
Some hydroponics growers use both HID's to give their plants the most light in the spectrums that the plants use the most. Metal halide is used when the plants are in vegetative growth, and high pressure sodium is used when the plants are flowering. Some ballasts are even designed to handle both types of bulbs making the changeover as easy as changing a bulb instead of using two different ballasts.
Fluorescent lights are also used by the hydroponics gardeners, however they are not nearly as popular as the HID's. Unlike HID lights, fluorescent lights don't produce all the heat because they are more efficient at producing light. It is possible to buy fluorescent lights that glow in a variety of color spectrums giving you a variety of fluorescent tubes to choose from.
One of the biggest disadvantages with using fluorescent tubes is that they do not produce the light penetration that HID bulbs do. This means that they will need to be a lot closer to the plants to be effective. Another disadvantage with fluorescent tubes is that they don't glow as bright as HID bulbs. Because of this, you will need to chain a lot of fluorescent tubes to produce the amount of light needed to grow plants. This is why fluorescent tubes are not that common for hydroponics.
LED's, or Light Emitting Diodes, are fairly new to hydroponics and they are showing great promise. They have the advantage of being cool to the touch like fluorescent tubes, while being able to produce the light penetration of HID's. Each LED bulb glows at a specific wavelength which means they only produce light in the spectrums that plants need.Credit: Amazon
Because of this, LED plant grow lights can be made to glow in the color spectrums that plants use the most. This is like using both the high pressure sodium and the metal halide lights at the same time. Most LED grow lights contain a mix of red and blue LED's and maybe a few orange and white LED's thrown into the mix.
Another advantage with LED's is that they can glow very brightly; some of the bulbs are one to three watts in power. A light consisting of 100 one watt LED's can produce the same amount of useable light that a 600 watt HID light produces.
The main disadvantage with LED's is that the light is directional sort of like a flashlight. Because of this, they cover a smaller area then the other types of plant grow lights. LED lights are also more expensive than other light sources initially; however since they use so little electricity they pay for themselves in the long run.
So which one is better, HID or LED? Clearly the LED offers the best of both worlds since it uses such little electricity and heat while providing the colors that plants use with the intensity that they need. Even though it is still a new technology it is proving to be a great alternative to the HID's.

Hone your talents. Improve your skills. Learn from professionals.
Leave your mark as a participant in our experiential environmental educator training program! Spend a year facilitating experiences for students while you develop teaching and public relations skills as an outdoor educator. A year filled with curiosity, confidence-building, and outdoor adventure. Fellows have the option to earn an Environmental Education Certificate that will prepare you for success in the field of environmental education.
All positions for the upcoming 2020-2021 Eagle Bluff Fellowship are filled at this time. If you would like to submit an application and join a waitlist you can do so:
Fellow Roles & Responsibilities
Make a difference and develop as a professional! Fellows wear many hats, including teacher, host, student, camp counselor, community member & more. All in scenic Lanesboro, MN.
As their primary responsibility, fellows can expect to spend two-thirds of their time teaching classes that are centered around hands-on, experiential, and inquiry-based learning. Classes are typically three hours long and include subjects such as environmental science, natural history, challenge skills, and outdoor adventure. Additionally, fellows present a one-hour "naturalist program" to large groups in the evenings about twice a month.
Fellows facilitate personal connections and experiences for students/visitors as their group host or "liaison". The liaison serves as the primary Eagle Bluff representative, including managing the group's stay, giving an orientation, setting up evening activities, facilitating our conservation programs, and often leading a campfire for the group. The liaison remains on call throughout the nights when their group is in residence.
In order to grow as professional educators, fellows participate in trainings, seminars, and evaluations throughout the year. As a result, they may earn up to two post-graduate certifications.
Camp Counselor
Fellows make the switch to camp counselors come June to run three to four of our 16 summer programs. Camps are overnight and typically a week long with an educational focus. From rock climbing to hunting to animal care, these adventurous and unique experiences are for campers entering grades 4-12.
Community Member
Through training, working, living, and growing alongside your fellowship group, this program places you in a tight-knit community. As a small nonprofit about 50 minutes from the nearest 'big' city, we have a small permanent staff that is excited to support you and welcome you to our team as well!

Friends of Hylton Castle Primary School have signed up to Give as you Live to help with our Fundraising. They have 4200 stores that have signed up to this and by purchasing through Give as you Live the school receive funds to help with their latest projects.
Our project that we are campaigning for this term is to provide a dedicated learning space which will predominantly be used by our most vulnerable children, but all children will benefit from. This will mean changing use of two areas within school to create a learning environment with a Sensory Room, Life Skills area and quiet teaching space. We also need to make room for a meeting room as this is the room that will be altered to accommodate these spaces. The cost will need to be met by Fundraising and support from our local community.
The Give as you Live site is very easy to use. We would be very grateful of your support by signing up to the attached link. Every time you shop online at one of the many 4200 shopping outlets through Give as you Live site we will receive a donation. It costs nothing to sign up and you do not pay anything more than your purchase price.

Fodor's, a travel site which 'helps you unleash the possibilities of travel' has provided an in-depth review of the RW_02 Road Warrior 4-wheel carry-on suitcase.
Editor in Chief of the site, Arabella Bowen personally reviewed the bag and tested it across multiple flights and road trips. Bowen praised the bag's ability to not "crack under pressure" due to the bag's "high-performance lining and cushy outer shell".
Covering all aspects of the suitcase, Bowen also draws attention to the RW_02's external access to your 100ml toiletries, which, she says "streamlined" her security screening time, a luxury beneficial to both frequent and more occasional travellers
With regard to the interior, added features such as a detachable shoe bag and multiple compartments proved useful for keeping Bowen's hiking boots away from her other belongings and she went on to say that the compartments have the frequent traveller in mind.
Bowen ended the review stating that the RW_02 is best for those who "are packing light, zipping through security and planning work on the go".

A nice locker, pretty big compared to my Quicksilver locker. It's nice for stuffing a bunch of webbing and cord into at anchor points, etc.
Review by: lextalion, 2005-09-09
It is a good locker however I don't care for it personally due to the fact that it is so small in comparison to other Lockers that I have.

In October 2019, Alewijnse Marine delivered its project scope for the Bibby WaveMaster Horizon, the second Service Operations Vessel (SOV) 9020 (a Damen Walk-to-Work vessel) built at Damen Shipyards Galati.
The 90-meter vessel has been designed for the North Sea area to be deployed for both conventional oil and gas maintenance duties, as well as for wind farm maintenance and support. Alewijnse Marine Galati was the chosen contractor to deliver, amongst other things, cabling and electrical installations to the Bibby WaveMaster Horizon.
Innovative vessel
Damen developed this new class of purpose-built Service Operations Vessels in consultation with the offshore renewables industry (see: https://products.damen.com/en/ranges/walk-to-work-vessel/w2w-9020). The design is an entirely new concept from the ground up, combining DP-2 capability, a motion-compensated gangway, innovative hull design, smart internal layout and a range of additional innovations designed to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. Alewijnse was involved in building and outfitting both of the currently operational ships.
Here you can see the Bibby WaveMaster Horizon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=45&v=kBpuZ4A4YEg&feature=emb...
Catalin Androne, Alewijnse's Project Manager for both the first and second SOV 9020, comments: "Working on the first W2W vessel back in 2017 provided us with valuable lessons and specific insights on how to tackle this project and avoid potential shortcomings. At the peak of the project, Alewijnse had as many as 80 electricians working on board. We were able, through the site management team, to work in partnership with the yard and coordinate onboard activities together. All the previous experience and this combined way of working had a significant impact on the project result. In the end, we were proud to deliver on time and at high standards."
