By >Josephine Lethbridge , The Conversation
You get hauled out of bed in the morning not just because of an alarm clock. We are genetically encoded with a 24-hour ( >circadian) body clock that allows us to live in harmony with our environment. But marine creatures have a far more complex environment to manoeuvre. New research published in > Current Biology has shown that coastal animals have a genetic tidal timer which is independent of their 24-hour body clock.
The researchers observed the behaviour of Eurydice pulchra , the speckled sea louse which lives along the sandy British shores. The creatures' swimming cycle is based on a 12.4-hour clock, as it has to match the tides; they swim to find food as the tide comes in, and bury themselves in the sand as it goes out. But they are also subject to our 24-hour rhythm: pigmented cells called melanophores grow during the day to act as sunscreen, and become smaller at night when they are not needed.
Scientists have known for more than 50 years that most organisms have an internal timing mechanism with a period of about 24 hours. John O'Neill, a molecular biologist at the University of Cambridge, explained how deeply ingrained it is.
"The daily biological rhythm can be observed in every cell of the human body, and even persists indefinitely in vitro ," he said. "For example, I could culture a scraping of your skin cells in a petri dish, and they would continue to exhibit a circadian rhythm in gene expression and metabolism, despite the fact that the cells would have no idea what time of day it is externally, as they lack photoreceptors."
These circadian clocks are hard-wired into our physiology. And this is the only major environmental variation that most organisms have to respond to. However, coastal creatures also have the varying tides to deal with. They have evolved to be better adapted to their environment by successfully negotiating these tides.
"It has been established for many years that >circatidal rhythms exist," said O'Neill. But it was assumed that the tidal body clock was determined by the circadian "master" clock. "This paper revisits a really interesting phenomenon, and finally solves a long-standing controversy," O'Neill continued.
The team was able to "turn off" Eurydice's circadian clock, and thereby demonstrate the independence of the tidal clock mechanism. Charalambos Kyriacou, one of the researchers, explained how. "We blocked the circadian clock of Eurydice in two ways," he said. "By giving the animals constant intense bright light the 24-hour circadian clock was disrupted, but the tidal 12.4-hour clock, which is reflected in the animals swimming rhythms, remained intact. We also blocked the 24-hour clock >genetically, by interfering with a key clock molecule directly."
But the tidal swimming rhythm kept on ticking: there would be a flurry of swimming activity every 12.4 hours in the Eurydice 's dark seawater tubes. The researchers therefore conclusively demonstrated that the Eurydice 's two body clocks are entirely genetically independent of one another.
These results, along with a parallel study on coastal worms published simultaneously in the journal > Cell Reports which came to a similar conclusion, imply that this is widespread. "I expect tidal rhythms in many coastal organisms will follow this rule," said Kyriacou, "including insects, crabs, even plants."
O'Neill discussed what future research this might allow. "The next big question the authors need to answer is how exactly this circatidal rhythm works," he said. "If the distinct circuits that respond to and regulate tidal and circadial rhythms could be isolated and understood, as well as the interactions between the two circuits, then we could learn some very interesting general principles. For example, about how the brain integrates environmental information, and then generates the appropriate behavioural and physiological response. This would definitely be relevant to understanding similar, though more complex, human behaviours."
This might allow us to better understand how different clock systems interact and influence behaviour. "There is some evidence that humans alter their behaviour during the lunar cycle," said Kyriacou. Perhaps humans have an independent >circalunar clock that influences our behaviour, in ways yet unknown.

REVIEW: Workshop Performance of The Blood Cycle Explores Family, Fidelity, and Being an Immigrant on Stolen Land
CategoriesTheatre Reviews
Toronto, Ontario
Kate Croome shares her thoughts on lemonTree creations' workshop performance of The Blood Cycle, part of Theatre Passe Muraille's 2017-18 BUZZ Series:
Bearing witness to The Blood Cycle, the most recent offering from queer theatre company lemonTree creations, feels a bit like watching Bambi take his first steps: shaky and a bit unsure-footed, but glimmering with potential.
Now in its second phase of development following a January 2017 workshop as part of Factory Theatre's Foundry Unit, The Blood Cycle is being featured as part of Theatre Passe Murraille's new play workshop series, BUZZ.
I was invited into the rehearsal space for an interview by playwright and performer Indrit Kasapi, director Cole Alvis, and assistant director and choreographer William Yong. We spoke not only of The Blood Cycle, but of lemonTree creations (which Alvis and Kasapi co-steer) and the company's mandate of "seeking equity" in all aspects of their practice. This interview greatly informed my viewing of the piece later that week.
From the beginning of the evening at BUZZ, the working-nature of this showing is clear. Prior to entering the space, spectators are given survey questions about the piece's narrative clarity. The actors stretch on stage prior to the show and are free to mix and mingle with the guests filtering in. Costumes are sweats, the house lights remain on, lighting cues are spoken, and the actors carry scripts in hand. In the casual pre-show chat, Kasapi sheepishly reveals that he gave the actors a new draft of the script earlier that day.
Before the performance, associate artistic producer at TPM Jiv Parasram delivers a speech acknowledging the land we are situated on, and the Indigenous communities who traditionally took residence here. Although times and practices are changing, many land acknowledgements I have witnessed in Toronto (Tkarón:to) are brief, scripted, sometimes recorded, and usually delivered by a white person. They are mandatory "further ado." When Parasram speaks, however, he not only names each caretaker of the land, but describes the metaphorical origins of the Dish With One Spoon Territory. In reading the program notes, it appears that this particular acknowledgement comes from lemonTree themselves.
The Blood Cycle opens on Ermal, the central character played by Kasapi (who is Albanian-Canadian), a young Northern Albanian man cracking under the weight of a twenty-seven year blood feud between his family and the one next door, a violent inescapable sentence that has claimed the lives of two generations of men in his family, including, most recently, his older brother Besnik (Dylan Evans). Responsible for Arjola (Tavia Christina), his sister and only living relative, and consumed by the memory of his brother, Ermal is rattled by the revelation that the truth in this blood feud may not be what he thinks it to be.
In its current iteration,The Blood Cycle is a uniquely story-based contemporary dance and theatre hybrid, an anomaly in a form that is often abstract and non-narrative. Yong, the Dora-nominated mastermind behind Zata Omm Dance Projects, creates inventively beautiful physical shapes with the three proficient dancers. Overall, the dance elements work best when a specific prop is utilized within the choreography to advance a particular mood: a pivotal moment involving three metal poles transforms into a hypnotic trio performed in unison that, when paired with composer and sound designer DJ Classic Roots' minimal but rhythmic recordings, is orbited into another hemisphere of beauty. A bloodied shirt; a sprig of flowers; three identical metal buckets lead to similarly meaningful expressions through dance. The dance elements seem less effective when they are married to narrative text; in these segments, the actors appear preoccupied by the complexity of the task, and the narrative sense becomes muddier and harder to follow. This synthesis of text and movement would no doubt come with more rehearsal time and repetition, but without which it's hard to say whether this experiment between narrative text and dance is completely successful.
It is not relevant whether or not the performance I witnessed was technically successful, however. "Right now, the work, the story, and how we're doing it is the thing," Alvis tells me, and Kasapi agrees that, while there is a workshop presentation scheduled next year, they are cautious about rushing a formal production of this piece. In an artistic moment where common culture is product-based, particularly in competitive Toronto, it's refreshing to talk to a group of young artists so willing to give their work the exploration time it needs to breathe, evolve, and grow.
Before engaging with this theatrical experience, I worried about my ability to connect to a piece about the North Albanian practice of murder-as-law-enforcement known as gjakmarrja, which plays such a central role in The Blood Cycle. When speaking to Kasapi, however, he is clear in his intentions of writing this story for a largely English-speaking Toronto audience. The Blood Cycle is about being an immigrant on stolen land. It is about reconciliation and acknowledgement, and whether or not either thing is really enough. It is not a piece that offers answers, and instead invites the spectator to investigate their own relationship with land-ownership and privilege; with the ongoing effects of colonialism; with privilege and complacency.

She is a graduate of Brock University's Dramatic Arts program, where she developed her critical eye through a praxis-based curriculum. Currently, Kate works in the Development department at Canadian Stage, where she enjoys not only spectating contemporary performance work, but also fundraising for it.

Fully 18 managers, directors and general managers have left the city for other jobs or retired since the start of 2015. Recent departures include:
- Toby Seward, acting senior director of strategic operations, who took an "early retirement" package;
- Guillermo Ferrero, director of information and technology legislative services, who is now city manager at the Town of Ladysmith;
- Suzanne Samborski, director of strategic relations, culture and heritage, now director of parks and recreation at District of Saanich ;
- Geoff Goodall, director of engineering and public works, who moved to Ladysmith in the same position;
- Chris Jackson, manager of legislative services; who went to Powell River as city clerk; and,
- Jason Birch, manager of information systems, who has taken on the same role at the Municipality of North Cowichan.
14 more managers able to retire in 2016
Based on these departures, Nanaimo's management turnover rate is about 10% in the past six months — double the maximum 5% considered healthy for top performing staff.
And it's set to get worse.
According to the City's recent Core Services Review report, 14 management staff can bid goodbye and take retirement this year. And 10 more can do so in the next four years.
Warns the report: "Amongst the remaining city employees will be a number of individuals whose skills and experience are important to the day-to-day 'mission critical' operations of the city and where finding a replacement in a short time period might be particularly challenging."
But that may still only be the tip of the iceberg.
Portfolio system's chief pitfall: staff resignations
A new governance system for the city recommended by city manager Tracy Samra and adopted by Council in March comes with a worrying pitfall that could compound the skills crisis — high management turnover.
According to governance expert John Graham, the "portfolio system" is mostly used in small rural municipalities and First Nations administrations and has a history of leading to clashes between councillors and professional staff who run city services.
"The councillor becomes in effect the program manager, leaving the nominal program manager disempowered and discouraged. The sad result is a high turnover in the program manager position," says Graham, who has conducted over 350 governance related projects.
Under Nanaimo's portfolio system (PDF), councillors are assigned to one of nine city departments on a quarterly rotating basis. They are "provided the opportunity to interact directly with staff and observe how council initiatives are implemented." They also have to compile weekly email updates about their portfolio department to the city manager and the rest of council.
Partisan politics defines service delivery
Another serious side-effect of the system, says Graham, is that as managers leave, councillors become more involved in operations and make political decisions about services.
"Instead of administrators relying on program policies to decide who gets what, partisan politics will increasingly be the dominant player," warns Graham.
The portfolio system has also been slammed by renowned municipal governance guru George Cuff in reports to municipalities across the country.
In a report to City Council of Kenora, Cuff said: "At the heart of much of the confusion regarding the roles of Council and management lies the portfolio system. This has inadvertently drawn members of Council into the administration with the mistaken impression in some instances that they are to help manage the system."
Councillors hear more from staff than public
Another downside for the public who elect councillors to represent them is that our representatives begin to take city staff's side in council matters.
The public's role is limited to going to council meetings to state their case, which leaves little time for councillors to reflect on complex issues.
In Nanaimo, that may already be happening.
Councillor Jerry Hong, in comments on Facebook this past week about the recent controversial council meeting over a driveway application made it clear that his views on the matter were heavily influenced by staff.
In the meantime, many of the city's committees and commissions that used to provide a conduit for community input to council have been suspended since February.

Storing mussels
Keep the mussels refrigerated with a damp cloth covering the bowl. DO NOT store them in standing water. That would drown them as the little oxygen in the water will be used up by the mussels. Keeping mussels damp allows their gills to to absorb oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide into the air around them, thus keeping them alive.
Preparing them for eating
Rinse off the mussels under the faucet and pull off the byssus threads. If there are no threads to pull, throw the mussel away. Once the byssus threads are pulled, cook and eat the mussels as soon as possible for best flavor.
Simple way to cook mussels
Put them in a pot and just cover the bottom of the pot with water or wine or beer. Toss in a couple of cloves of garlic and some sprigs of any type of herbs, such as basil, thyme, oregano. Celery tops are also nice to drop in. Steam mussels until the shells open. The longer you cook them, the less tender they become, so don't overdo. Serve with melted garlic butter or any other favorite sauce.

A thread, in the context of Java, is the path followed when executing a program. All Java programs have at least one thread, known as the main thread, which is created by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) at the program's start, when the main() method is invoked with the main thread.
In Java, creating a thread is accomplished by implementing an interface and extending a class. Every Java thread is created and controlled by the java.lang.Thread class.
Java is a multi-threaded application that allows multiple thread execution at any particular time. In a single-threaded application, only one thread is executed at a time because the application or program can handle only one task at a time.
For example, a single-threaded application may allow for the typing of words. However, this single thread requires an additional single thread allowing for the recording of keystrokes in order to type the words. Thus, a single-threaded application records the keystrokes, allowing the next single-threaded application (the typing of words) to follow.
However, a multi-threaded application allows for the handling of both tasks (recording and typing the keystrokes) within one application.
When a thread is created, it is assigned a priority. The thread with higher priority is executed first, followed by lower-priority threads. The JVM stops executing threads under either of the following conditions:

5 Smart Reasons to Get a Business Loan
When word spreads that you are thinking about taking out a loan to further develop your business, you will be provided with all types of advice from all types of "experts". Literally everyone will have a story to offer, forecasting what may or may not happen.
Whilst it is not ideal to go into debt to build up a business, that doesn't mean that there aren't any good reasons for you to proceed. Taking the leap to get a business loan if you don't have the available and necessary capital to move forward may just be the best thing your business has ever done! Here are several reasons of how a small business loan can help you.
You Need To Expand Your Physical Business Location
There's no place to store stock, the main shop floor area is heavily cramped, and there is simply no room! This is simply great news, with this clearly meaning that you need to consider moving to a new location. To finance your huge move, you may need to get additional capital. Whilst the thought of a move is appealing, the expenses involved in such a move can be massive, and not having a safety net could put your business' growth at peril.
Your Equipment Is No Longer Efficient
Purchasing that piece of second hand equipment when you first started your business was an ideal way to get into the industry, but now it is hindering you. Sound familiar? This may come in the form of certain types of machinery, IT equipment, and other key tools that you need to regularly deliver a premium quality service or product to your customers.
You Want To Purchase Additional Inventory
Making the wrong choices with inventory can literally be the make or break of many businesses. It is critical to keep up with demand, but in many cases, to get adequate price breaks, and to counter the ebbs and flows of stock purchases, you simply need to purchase additional inventory.
Unsecured business loans are an ideal opportunity to help you get that inventory you need to push your business forward.
You Need Additional Headcount
You are pushing your current staff to the limit and are spending 60 hours a week working in the business yourself. To put in specialists to run specific areas of your business, which will allow you to focus on growing your business, you may need additional capital to bring this fresh talent aboard.
You've Uncovered A New Business Opportunity
Sometimes we are presented with an opportunity that is simply too good to pass on. Perhaps you found yourself a ripper deal on some inventory from one of your suppliers, or the office next door has just vacated, and you'd love the extra space for your growing business.
Assessing the pros and cons of this opportunity will help you decide if using unsecured capital can help you achieve your overall business goals, and not making a kneejerk decision.
Whatever your specific reason is for considering a unsecured capital loan, it is important to consider all of the costs involved in servicing the loan, and how taking it out will help your bottom line to grow.
It is important to carefully consider your ability to pay back any loan repayments, and whether it will impact your business' chances to succeed. If the answer is positive, then taking out an unsecured capital business loan may just be for you!

Kaufman Arctic Proxies
Posted by Jeff Id on September 19, 2009
Here is a plot of the 23 proxies used to create the Arctic reconstruction. I plotted these so we can see the data and use them to reference which series is which. When someone says Yamal, you know what they're talking about now. Blue lake is a varve proxy, which is sediment layer thickness. My blue lake that I downloaded didn't look much like this one but it probably hadn't been processed through the entirely arbitrary log function like the pro's do. Thanks to SteveM for making the data easy to get to.
None of these look much like temp curves to me but I'm no climatologist.
5 Responses to "Kaufman Arctic Proxies"
September 20, 2009 at 6:36 pm
So they are all meant to measure temperature, yet all look different….right…….
September 21, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I can see only two true "Hockey Sticks" in this lot Yamal (tree rings- discredited by Steve M) and Iceberg Lake (varves- again skillfully demonstrated to be "fiddled" by Steve M).
What beats me is that, given the essentially randomness of the other proxies(E.g Donard Lake with its 20th Century downtick) and the irregular "lumpiness" of the others in the middle, how on Earth do you arrive at Kaufman's key graph?
What would a simple average look like, rather than Kaufman's manipulations?
September 21, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Kaufman's primary move is the selection of proxies. When you have a whole slew of proxies with no common signal, then the average of the non-HS series is essentially noise with a very small amplitude (an application of the Central Limit Theorem.) If you then average in a couple of HS series and variance match in the 20th century (CPS), you get the HS-shaped series back again with a very minor amount of noise added.
Both Jeff and I have written about this phenomenon on many occasions from various perspectives. It is very obvious but climate scientists seem unable (or unwilling) to understand the point.

Are you alone in your knowing? Join with Like Minded Others at Planetxtownhall.com
a Planet X Red Herring
J. P. Jones
|Pluto and Charon
Approximately 60% the size of our own Moon, Pluto was subsequently reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Therefore, categorizing a planet as a Dwarf immediately minimizes its impact on the solar system to the average individual.
In the case of Pluto, it took astronomers 48 years to determine its actual size. Given that 2012 VP113 Biden was discovered in 2012 and that the astronomers who first observed it have no clue to its size, how could NASA determine the size of 2012 VP113 and classify it as a dwarf planet if it is so distant at 83 AU.
So here is the $64,000 question. How can NASA and the scientific community hypothesize about a massive perturber while at the same time denying the existence of Planet X (Neptune's perturber)?
It is also curious that for years the SKYVIEW team has been tracking a red KBO and being discredited with "nope nothing there" and what do you know. We suddenly have a "pinkish" Dwarf planet in the same region of space, discovered by partially NASA funded astronomers. Once again, do we just chalk it up to coincidence. We're not, and nor should you.
Rather, we've yet to see any credible evidence presented by NASA to dispute the view put forth by, SKYVIEW:
The Kuiper Belt is a disk of debris that lies inside of the solar system, it has a well defined outer edge that could be sheared off by a companion star, a companion star or large object seems to have affected the shape of it's debris discs.
Judging by the size of it's scattered disc region, it was not done by some small planet. Judging by the size of it's scattered disc region, it was not done by some small planet.
With this in mind, we could not help but notice the chilling postscript at the end of the SKYVIEW video, where we are reminded of an earlier video by them titled FIRE IN THE SKY, which addresses the increase of fireballs.
And so SKYVIEW's May 16, 2014 video closes with this ominous warning: "Pay attention to Comet Linear, it's showtime."
Given that the dash cam videos of fireballs have increased noticeably, especially since September 2013, is there another motive for using 2012 VP113 / BIDEN as a Planet X red herring? Perhaps it could an example of spin control in advance, because it is only a matter of when not if that an impact will occur.
By using 2012 VP113 / BIDEN as pre-planted spin, NASA can shrug its shoulders and say they didn't see it coming, just as they did with the Chelyabinsk superbollide that detonated over Russia on February 15, 2013. So where do we go from here?
We at YOWUSA.COM value the information and efforts put forth by the SKYVIEW team, and we are much more inclined to believe their work because we see them making every effort to provide all those who will listen, the bold truth.
This is why we make every effort to gather as many of the SKYVIEW videos as possible and to posit them on our youtube.com/yowusa channel. Going forward we will make available any further updates by SKYVIEW on our site and as always folks. Keep looking up!
People follow different paths to the truth about Planet X, with an enduring hope that one day, our government will finally disclose what it knows.
Like UFOlogy, the hope is that if you create a pile of pictures high enough, perhaps at some point the truth will reach critical mass and voila-disclosure. Unfortunaetly, just like Marxism, it's one of those inspiring fantasy goals that can never be achieved.
This is why Planet X investigator, Bob Fletcher, producer of the IN-COMMING DVDs, has come at this from an entirely different directions. Bob followed the money and found that more was spent on preparation for Planet X than anyone could imagine. GO
This program presents an overview of the Planet X system, how it moves through our solar system and why we always seem to observe it near the Sun and not behind us, plus recent observations of three planets in the Planet X system captured by ocean buoys located in the Gulf of Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.

The night was finally upon us. Simon & Garfunkel, two living legends with a back catalogue that includes 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'America' & `The Boxer', not to mention many other sixties classics, were about to perform in front of an audience of 40,000 people. This was a night I knew I'd remember for the rest of my life. However, after standing for two and a half hours in a crowded pit listening to the alternative reggae that was being played over the PA system, my eagerness was beginning to wane.
Eight O'clock came and went like the 150 Dublin bus and still, a half an hour later there was no sign of the stars. I was starting to think that Garfunkel had upset Simon by refusing to tie up his hair and in a moment of anger, stormed out and left us all to fry in the evening sunshine. But then, as if out of nowhere, the familiar sound of beautiful humming that opens 'America' filled the stadium. Against a backdrop of sixties S&G footage on the big screens on either side of the stage, the atmosphere was at once tense with excitement and poignant at the same time.
And with the conclusion of this, a healthy & upbeat Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel appeared from behind a myriad of instruments & amplifiers to take centre stage. As the sun burned in the crisp, clear Saturday night sky, the duo duly opened their set with the melancholy 'Old Friends'. The beautiful vocal blend of their voices intertwined around each other like an assembly of graceful ballet dancers. On record, their harmonising vocals epitomised the late 1960's, and here, in the open air of Ireland 40 years after their original recordings together, it was no different.
After rocking through superb versions of two of their folk rock greats, 'A Hazy Shade Of Winter' and 'I Am A Rock', Garfunkel took to the microphone to address the audience for the first time of the evening. Aptly, he described the next song as a tune written about a country that no longer exists and with that, they performed what many have described as one of the greatest songs ever written: 'America'. Note for note perfect, the well -honed backing band laid a rock solid foundation for S&G's finely crafted vocals.
One by one, they knocked out further classics with the ease that only comes with experience, even launching unexpectedly into their earliest hit recorded way back in 1957, 'Hey School Girl' (under the pseudonym of Tom & Jerry). Simon followed this by announcing the performance of the Everly Brothers and after an enjoyable, short set of their classics including 'Wake Up Little Susie' & 'All I Have To Do Is Dream', the duo were joined on stage by Simon & Garfunkel for a tasty rendition of the Everly's first hit 'Bye, Bye Love'.
With The Everly Brothers departure, Simon & Garfunkel recaptured the night with a haunting reading of 'Scarborough Fair' that included languid cello & harmony lines. 'Homeward Bound' & 'The Sound Of Silence' kept up the momentum while also leaving the audience shell-shocked by the amount of amazing records that this relatively short lived partnership had. The volume of the performance was perfect and every detail, from Simon's extremely underrated guitar playing to Garfunkel's tiny harmonics twists, was audible in all their minute, beautiful detail. Yet, while their performance was extremely tight, there did appear to be some agitation between the pair and this was never more apparent than when Simon somewhat smartly described 'Slip Slidin' Away' as a song that should have been recorded by Simon & Garfunkel (It was released as a Simon solo track).
Apart from this though, the hits kept coming thick & fast with 'El Condor Pasa', 'Keep the Customer Satisfied' and 'The Only Living Boy in New York' to name but a few. Yet the undoubted highlight of the night was the piano led 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', Garfunkel's impassioned vocal doing every bit of justice to this gigantic song. To rapturous applause, the duo left the stage as all conquering heroes, only reappearing minutes later to calm the crowd's cries for more.
'Cecilia' had the capacity crowd rocking more than at any time during the evening while excellent versions of 'The Boxer' & 'Leaves That Are Green' cemented S&G's successful trip to Ireland. And finally, in a set that seemed all too brief, we were left with the brilliantly happy 'Feelin' Groovy'. Even more so now than when it was written, its opening line 'slow down, you're moving too fast' never sounded more appropriate to a world moving at whirl wind speed.
Simon & Garfunkel's songs were from a time when life seemed simpler, and when the world became a darker place in the late sixties, their songs acted as a soundtrack of hope. After witnessing this piece of musical history before my very eyes, I can fully understand how Simon & Garfunkel are so universally appreciated.

We were first introduced to Sara Sarkey, Sr Scientific Director of Neuroscience and General Medicine at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, after an Erasing the Distance program at her workplace.
When the performance began, she noted:
"I was drawn in. It felt so real. He was full of humor and insights. It really resonated. And when he finished, I realized that he, the actor, didn't have the issues reflective of the story. That really struck me, the intensity with which the actors of Erasing the Distance really get into the mind of the person who shared the story and translate it for the audience."
She was intrigued, touched, and motivated to see more.
That was in 2015 and Sara has since been instrumental in helping to bring Erasing the Distance to regularly perform for Takeda employees. After that first experience, Sara quickly brought another Erasing the Distance program to her team's retreat day.
"The work of Erasing the Distance allows us at Takeda to really feel what the patients we try to help every day are going through. What matters most to them in their lives. Being able to listen to the stories and see them acted out has given us a renewed sense of why we do what we do."
Since then, Sara's relationship with Erasing the Distance has grown. Sara was part of the Takeda group that sponsored My Other Full-Time Job, adapted and directed by Artistic Director Heather Bodie. The sponsorship made it possible for us to develop a new script that would be particularly relevant for Takeda employees and their corporate partners. She was extremely helpful with her committee work on this project and she was also instrumental in championing the work being shared with the public.
"I want to help expand the voice of individuals impacted by mental health issues. And part of that is supplying opportunities for the work of Erasing the Distance to reach a larger audience. It's important others see this work, too."
My Other Full-Time Job was performed both privately at Takeda and publicly at Stage 773 in June, 2017. The private performance at Takeda cultivated new relationships, including one that led to Erasing the Distance performing for a local major insurance company.
After so many examples of her supporting our work, it was clear Sara would be a dynamic addition to Erasing the Distance's Board of Directors. Executive Director Diana Clegg asked Sara if she'd be interested, noting her personal commitment to the organization and her efforts to empower patients. And she accepted!
We are already so grateful that Sara has joined our family at Erasing the Distance as a board member. Sara immediately went to work surveying board members to assess the current skills and capacity within the board and recommend any areas in need of growth. These insights are extremely valuable as we move to increase the size of our board.
Sara understands our work as an audience member, a collaborator, and a board member. Her insights are a gift to the whole organization, and to our future audience members.
"We all look forward to expanding Erasing the Distance and showing the impact mental illness has on all parts of society. One of the struggles in treating mental illness is everyone thinks it's not them. But it's not 'those people'… it's us. Together, we're seeing the world through other's eyes," shares Sara.
Thank you, Sara!
We are a stronger organization thanks to your talents, time, and energy.

HUF Clothing in The Philippines - Epitome of street style
Founded in 2002, Keith Hufnagel turned his passion for skateboarding into his own line of clothing brand. Hufnagel saw a window of opportunity to give back to the community that he grew up in and opened a small boutique on an offbeat block of San Francisco's Tenderloin District. Being the first of its kind, the company's aim is to bring the most respected brands that the skateboard, street-wear, and sneaker communities had to offer under one roof. The shop has soon risen to become Bay Area's most recognized supplier of hard-to-come-by goods.

Skateboarding as a way of life
Over the course of 17 years, much has been changed of the brand. However, the energy that drove the company since day one was and still is Hufnagel's core belief of seeing skateboarding as a way of life and not just a 'hobby' or a 'sport', but a lifestyle. This lifestyle has brought together various similar countercultures such as artists, musicians, photographers, to creative like-minded individuals. Utilizing skateboarding as an extension towards those values, HUF attempts to express those standards through the concentrated collection of its apparel.

The Hospitality Industry Relishes Fiscal Success
by Dr. Steven E.Campbell
The hospitality industry is proving to be one of the most successful venues for professional opportunities in the 21st century, especially for young college graduates. Employment opportunities abound in response to the booming economy as well as the need to build bigger hotels, establish more up-scale restaurants, and provide additional means of entertainment for the American public.
Peebles Atlantic Development Corporation Visitor Industry Council Scholarship Application
Peebles Atlantic Development Corporation is the largest African American-owned hotel and real-estate development firm in the United States. With a national reputation, a successful history of public-private partnerships, and more than a quarter of a billion dollars' worth of high-profile hotel developments, it will continue to have a major impact in the hotel industry. Among the company's current local projects are the the Bath Club Resort in Miami Beach, scheduled to open in 2003, and the Royal Palm Crowne Plaza Resort in South Beach, which is open.

And it smells delicious. Timmy Tee is fighting a cold, and I had a weird almost-fainting spell whilst bicycling this afternoon, so we need some comfort food. I'm using a recipe I got from Real Simple years ago. You basically cut up 2 lemons and 1/2 a head of garlic, shove it into the chicken's innards, rub down the whole thing with olive oil, salt and pepper the hell of out it, and then toss it in the oven. It's super easy, and the skin turns out crispy and delicious. I'm surprised no one has tried to sell oiled and baked chicken skin by the bag.
It's been another excellent weekend in the Longoria household. Tim and I haven't seen much of each other, since I was in NYC last weekend and in Lakeville Wed – Thursday, and Tim was doing trips the other nights. So on Saturday Tim drove me to Iowa City where I had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen forever (ate tapas for the first time ever at Devotay), and then we did a little shopping at Coral Ridge. Tim found 3 pairs of chinos at Banana Republic for $7 to $20! I didn't find much, but it was so nice just hanging out with Tim, spending time together, laughing together, drinking strawberry smoothies together.
We made it back to Dport in time to feed the dee oh gee and then headed to Biaggis for our favorite meal combo – messina salad and chicken piccante pizza. It was delicious. The crowd in the joint was pretty interesting – it was full of a bunch of elderly folk and teenagers. Apparently it was some school's homecoming, so the place was chock-full of high heels, tans, and awkward hair cuts. I wonder if we were that annoying at that age?
Today after reading the morning news, we headed out for bike ride. I don't know if it was the 3 cups of coffee or the cold wind on my hot face, but once we reached Emeis Park, I felt really not good. I had to lay down for about 10 minutes while I decided if I was going to throw up or pass out or both. I didn't do either, fortunately. I was able to bike home, albeit at a much slower pace. It was really weird. I hate it that my body is so temperature sensitive. It makes me panic in situations where I get too warm. Pass Out City, man.
Anyway, it was a great weekend – exactly what I needed after a stressful week of work. Now, only five more days before the weekend comes again…

So what does the GDS Curriculum look like?
The curriculum of any debate institute is crucial to what a student is likely to gain. In this regard, one should consider whether an institute offers a curriculum that addresses the diversity of conditions students are likely to confront in their debate career. One should also consider whether the student would be taught an educationally sound set of practices or a series of tricks that happened to work at a single tournament or in front of a small number of judges.
Our senior staff members have taught at dozens of debate camps including University of Texas, Victory Briefs, Sacred Heart, National Debate Forum, Stanford, Harvard, Dartmouth, and the National Symposium for Debate among others. The core of the staff is professional educators, some with Master's degrees in curricular design, while still being competitive coaches in the debate game.
Our approach to debate camp is pedagogically sound and time tested in regards to competitive success. Students will have guaranteed access to all staff members. At many debate institutes a student's exposure to staff is limited to lab leaders and large group lectures. We want all students to have one on one attention with the instructor of their choice at some point during their stay.
The debate camp curriculum is designed to give students a common knowledge base, yet avoids hours and hours of lectures on issues that have become tangential to contemporary debate camps. Each year we have modified our program based on feedback from coaches and students. Some of the components of our curriculum include the following:
- Our pedagogy emphasizes small lab groups. The top lab will be limited in size this year based on experience and coach recommendation. Students with extensive experience will be given enrichment exercises to accelerate their growth.
- Literally no other institute has a philosophy professor on staff (with previous debate experience) like we do.
- We focus on teaching students ethically sound best practices in dealing with the arguments that seem to pervade many circuits.
- The novice lab will continue to be a place for students with limited or no experience.
- A balance of large group lectures and electives to allow students to focus on things they wish to learn/work on.
- Written critiques that allow each instructor to see what skills need to be worked on and what progress is being made.
- More actual debating (after sufficient time to prepare and modify cases) to allow students the opportunity to address weaknesses and emphasize areas of strength.
The Global Debate Symposium Debate Camp will also focus on how to research, a skill that many camps seem to have put on the back-burner. While it is true you can write cases without evidence, it seems some base in the literature is required to have a grasp of the context of the resolution. One of the most important debate skills is the ability to research in college libraries. The internet is helpful, but should not be the only tool that is used to research. Attention will also be placed on effective case writing, effective speaking techniques, strategic decisions and general tips to help students achieve whatever goals they have set for themselves.REGISTER NOW

Wood Windows
Clad Wood Windows
Vinyl Windows
Steel Windows
Aluminum Windows
Windows are made from wood, aluminum, steel, vinyl, or fiberglass—or from a combination of these materials. In general, those that offer better weather protection cost more, but they pay off in low maintenance and energy savings.
Wood Windows
Wood tends to be the most popular window material, particularly for the parts of a window seen from indoors. Wood does not conduct cold or allow condensation as much as other materials do. However, wood is subject to shrinkage and swelling, so it will warp and rot over time—especially on the exterior—unless it is protected.
Wood windows typically come unfinished unless you order them otherwise. If you intend to paint them, you can save work by purchasing them already primed on the exterior and/or interior surfaces of the frame and sash. Or you may be able to eliminate painting altogether—some manufacturers offer prepainted windows in a number of standard colors.
Clad Wood Windows
You will find that many of today's windows have wood inside and a tough, attractive exterior jacket of extruded aluminum or vinyl outside. The cladding, available in a few stock colors, covers both the sash and frame. It keeps windows virtually maintenance-free for years.
With vinyl, the color permeates the material so scratches do not show. Aluminum will scratch, but it is more durable and easier to paint (though it should not require painting, nor, for that matter, should vinyl), and it comes in a wider variety of colors than vinyl. Both types resist rust and rot.
Vinyl Windows
Vinyl windows are made from rigid, impact-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and have hollow spaces inside that make them resistant to heat loss and condensation. Inexpensive vinyl windows have a tendency to distort when exposed to extremes of heat and cold, making them harder to operate and allowing for air leakage. Vinyl windows cannot be painted, and darker shades may fade over time.
Steel Windows
Steel is more resistant to the elements than both aluminum and wood, but, because of the expense of steel windows, they generally are not used in homes. If you have the budget, however, these attractive, low-maintenance windows will last for years.
Aluminum Windows
Aluminum windows are more durable than bare wood and are also thinner, lighter, and easier to handle. They are insulated with a thermal break of extruded vinyl and sometimes also foam, which reduces heat loss and condensation. Finishes protect the aluminum from corrosion but deteriorate in coastal areas because of the moist, salty air.
Window Sash Replacement Kits
If you have old, drafty, and inefficient single- or double-hung windows, you may be able to replace them without completely tearing out the frames and preparing a new rough opening.
Instead, you may be able to install a sash replacement kit in the existing frame. These kits allow you to change an unsightly or poorly insulating sash window relatively easily. You can order a number of standardized sizes and styles that fit most frames.
Sash replacement kits come with all the necessary hardware, plus complete installation instructions. Basically, these are the steps:
1Remove the old stops, the existing window from the frame, and all the jamb hardware.
2Fasten metal brackets spaced evenly along both sides of the window, and then install new jamb hardware for the replacement sash.
3nstall the new sash in the opening according to the kit directions.
4Finally, tack the original stops back into place.

In Greece tradition says that families and colleagues come together to celebrate the New Year by sharing a pie of "Vasilopita" (King's Pie or "Dreikönigskuchen"). FNF Greece follows that tradition as a unique chance to reunite the alumni of our Liberal Youth Seminars. More than sixty former FNF "graduates" followed the invitation to discuss recent developments in Greece and the rest of Europe, attend the panel discussion "From knowledge to action! – Evaluating political education for young leaders", and – last but not least – to socialize with fellow alumni.
The invited panelists were three FNF graduates who became politically active on the local and regional level: George Kokkolis, Vice-Mayor of Rafina-Pikermi, Julia Tsaliki, Vice-President of Thessaly Regional Council, and Apostolos Siokas, Vice-Mayor of Moschato-Tavros. As alumni of FNF seminars, they emphasized that political education is the most important tool for any man or woman with political ambitions. They explained that the Liberal Youth Seminars helped them realize the challenges of "real" politics by providing useful insights and unusual perspectives.
George Kokkolis shared examples from his life as a Vice-Mayor on how he communicates with citizens, trying to explain the core of the problems and proposing efficient solutions. Julia Tsaliki focused on the role of women in local and regional administration. She conceded that "although Greece has many qualified and educated young women, they either don't run for office, and if they do, they don't get easily elected". She then stressed the fact that politics need more women not only to balance men, but also to provide different views. Apostolos Siokas then highlighted the importance of the expertise gained through FNF seminars. "The seminars helped me succeed in the elections and prepared me to deal with the challenges of managing local administration", Siokas concluded.
After the discussion, Athanasios Grammenos, the FNF Project Assistant in Greece, had the honor to cut the Vasilopita cake. The lucky coin, which gives its finder good luck for the whole year, was hidden inside the piece of Stefania Chantzi, a graduate of last year's FNF seminar on entrepreneurship – hopefully a good sign for the future of Greek enterprise!

1997 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic
I'm having an issue with my Jeep's ignition switch not wanting to function. When I pull the harness off of the switch, I can manually start it via jumper wires on the plug, but it will not start when I put the plug on the switch and turn the key. I know the key is turning the switch, as I can hear a relay clicking on the firewall underneath the glove compartment. But none of the electrical components will function via the switch. I have no instrument panel lights, radio, et cetera when I plug in the switch and turn the key, but they will come on if I manually jump them at the plug.
Is there a relay or other component that prevents the ignition switch from coming on?
have the same problem?

WARSAW — The Trump administration had delicately said the meeting of five dozen nations in Warsaw would focus on "Middle East security." But the unmistakable voice of Rudolph Giuliani, an avowed proponent of regime change in Iran, set a different tone.
Hours before the meeting began, Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and President Trump's lawyer, told an anti-Iran rally outside Warsaw's main stadium that Iranian leaders are "assassins, they are murderers and they should be out of power."
Mr. Giuliani said he was representing an Iranian opposition group, the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, or M.E.K., not Mr. Trump. But his message belied what American officials had told nervous European counterparts: that the two-day meeting would focus on a range of Middle East security matters.
As Mr. Giuliani spoke, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in northeast Poland witnessing live-fire exercises intended to send a message to Russia. And Vice President Mike Pence, joined by the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was arriving in Warsaw for what amounted to the largest diplomatic gathering that the Trump administration has organized.
Still, the mixed signals and ad hoc arrangements for the gathering — the first of nearly all Middle East states, Europe and the United States in years — made some of America's closest allies anxious.
Britain, France and Germany vociferously protested Mr. Trump's decision last year to quit the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, and were loath to participate in a forum they saw as designed to push Iran toward collapse. Only last week those same three countries embraced a sanctions-evading barter system that would, in theory, enable Iran to trade in oil, defying Mr. Trump.
The French and Germans dispatched career diplomats to the meeting, not foreign ministers. Britain's foreign minister, Jeremy Hunt, agreed to attend at the last moment, on promises that he could lead a session on Yemen.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel arrived seeking an opportunity to edge closer to the Sunni Arab states that share his desire to confront Iran's military.
Running for re-election in April while under threat of a corruption indictment in Israel, Mr. Netanyahu is looking for a major victory. Using the Iran threat as a way to openly display Israel's strengthening relations with onetime Arab adversaries would help achieve it.
But Mr. Netanyahu clearly did not get the memo that Iran was supposed to be discussed obliquely. No sooner had he landed than the prime minister's Twitter account announced "an open meeting with representatives of leading Arab countries, that are sitting down together with Israel in order to advance the common interest of war with Iran."
An hour later, the Twitter posting was changed to "advance the common interest of combating Iran."
Even that exceeded what Mr. Pompeo and Mr. Pence said at an opening dinner. The agenda includes Syria, refugees, terrorism, cyberconflict and an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan that Mr. Kushner promises to eventually present.
Iran's expansion into Syria is Mr. Netanyahu's biggest concern, said Dore Gold, former director general of Israel's Foreign Ministry, and the Warsaw meeting could help persuade others that he is not exaggerating the threat.
"It's not Israel in the front row, and Arab states secretly promoting an agenda to get Iran out of Syria," Mr. Gold said. "It's overt, public, and only strengthens the case that Israel's been making over the last year."
Countering the American-led gathering, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia announced a summit meeting with the leaders of Iran and Turkey in Sochi on Thursday, the main day of the Warsaw conference, setting up rival events.
Mr. Putin's move also highlighted the growing American antagonism toward Russia, which, along with China, participated in the negotiation of the 2015 nuclear agreement.
And Mr. Pompeo, who usually avoids gaps between his positions and Mr. Trump's, spent much of his day portraying Russia as untrustworthy, with a ferocity Mr. Trump has never shown.
"Russia has grand designs of dominating Europe and reasserting its influence on the world stage," Mr. Pompeo told American troops at the NATO base in Orzysz, about 40 miles from the Russian border at Kaliningrad. "Vladimir Putin seeks to splinter the NATO alliance, weaken the United States and disrupt Western democracies."
He referred to Russian "hybrid warfare" against the United States even as Mr. Trump continues to question Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mr. Pompeo also promised to counter any Russian threat.
"Poland's own history reminds us that enduring deterrence measures should be at the forefront of our strategic thinking," he said.
The message was reiterated by Mr. Pence, who spent much of the day greeting American and Polish troops and emphasizing the United States-Polish alliance to President Andrzej Duda. He found a receptive audience in Mr. Duda, who has pushed the Trump administration for a greater American military presence in the country, even suggesting a base called "Fort Trump."
The vice president said that he would ensure Mr. Trump heard Poland's request to "continue and even expand" American troop levels of around 4,500. "The Polish people need no lectures on the dangers of an aggressive Russia," Mr. Pence told Mr. Duda.
The Warsaw conference, scheduled over two days, coincided with the 40th anniversary of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
In Iran, where a suicide bomber in the restive southeast killed at least 27 members of the Revolutionary Guards Corps on Wednesday, the foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said the Warsaw conference would change nothing.
"The Warsaw conference is dead on arrival," he told reporters. "It is another attempt by the United States to pursue an obsession with Iran that is not well founded."
Mr. Zarif, who has used his Twitter account to parry anti-Iran messages from American officials like Mr. Pompeo and the national security adviser, John R. Bolton, said the aim of the conference was a United States diktat on Iran.
The Poles have sought to walk a delicate line between the United States and Iran, framing Poland's hosting of the meeting as a positive event, while trying to avoid angering the Iranians. The underlying tensions were apparent on Tuesday when Poland's consul general in New York, Maciej Golubiewski, was asked if Iran was a threat to Poland, during an interview with The New York Times Editorial Board.
"Poland never said Iran is a threat to Poland," Mr. Golubiewski said. "Poland is engaged in a lot of multilateral efforts to bring about stability and peace in the Middle East and the world."
Mr. Giuliani, for his part, reveled in condemning Iran even as he insisted he was in no way speaking for the Trump administration. He said the M.E.K. had been his client for 12 years, and that he had often spoken on its behalf, often for a fee.
In July, Mr. Giuliani attended a Paris rally sponsored by the M.E.K. that the police later said was the target of a failed bombing attempt that investigators suspected was engineered by Iranian agents.
Busloads of M.E.K. activists attended the rally outside Warsaw's national stadium, where Thursday's diplomatic meeting will be held. They waved Iranian flags and held aloft giant yellow balloons with "Regime Change" written in block letters.
"We want to see a regime change in Iran," Mr. Giuliani said.
