Transition to Work
Aim High!
The Transition to Work program at the Career Center prepares students with employability skills for entry-level jobs.
This program is designed to assist the student who is in need of vocational training, but not quite ready for an intense, multi-skill program. The goals for students in this program are to learn necessary, basic work skills, and to begin involvement with work-based learning experiences.
The career-focused instruction is further enhanced by community partnerships with local organizations in relevant fields such as retail, building maintenance, housekeeping, commercial laundry, food service, customer service, manufacturing and health care.
The program's business and industry partnerships allow students to receive on-the-job training while advancing his/her vocational goals. Students begin the program by spending time in the classroom learning the skills needed to be successful on the job. Once they've mastered the skills and are ready for a work experience outside of the classroom, students may have the opportunity to be placed on a job site.
A summer work program, which is an extension of the Transition to Work program, may be available to students who are ready for additional work-based learning opportunities in the summer.

Key Moments
Kidderminster Harriers
Kidderminster Harriers
ALTRINCHAM are the next visitors Aggborough on Saturday (3:oopm).
Harriers head into the game after last weekend's long trip to Blyth Spartans.
The Robins travel to Aggborough following a statement 5-0 victory over Leamington a week ago.
Ollie Shenton ahead of Altrincham test:
"Every game is tough in this league, Altrincham being one of the toughest but we've just got to watch the clips - which we already have done, so we know what they're about - and we've just got to stand up to it.
"It's about us, not them, and if we perform how we think we should be performing then we will be fine.
"I don't think we're panicking, we just need to stay calm, with a few cooler heads... I think results [at home] will change.
"As soon as we get that first win, I think it will carry on and we can start going on a run."
Team news
Harriers will welcome back Rhys Williams and Milan Butterfield to the fold this weekend.
The duo have been on international duty with England U19 and Bermuda respectively.
The Reds will be without Jamie Sharman (ankle), who is back at parent club Chesterfield receiving treatment after sustaining an injury at Blyth.
Goalkeeper Cameron Gregory has responded well to treatment back at Shrewsbury Town and should be able to rejoin the squad shortly.
Declan Weeks came through his 90 minutes at Blyth unscathed, having missed time himself through injury.
Admission and tickets
While admission is pay-at-the-turnstile at Aggborough Stadium, Harriers fans sitting in the Main Stand will be able to purchase their tickets in advance, online.

At DTU Chemical Engineering we value our PhD students and their research. We interviewed Hannah Feldman about her project "Optimization of energy recovery in an industrial wastewater treatment plant".
The PhD students at DTU Chemical Engineering are valuable assets. One of them is Hannah Feldman who defended her PhD just recently. Here is what she told us about her project.
What is the essence of your PhD project?
My project focuses on the optimization of energy recovery in an industrial wastewater treatment plant. Industrial wastewater can contain large quantities of organics, which need to be removed from wastewater. A sustainable treatment option is to turn these organics into biogas, which can then be converted to energy. We used mathematical models to describe the biological processes taking place in an anaerobic digester, the reactor type which converts organics into biogas, and subsequently evaluate different scenarios to increase the reactor performance.
What did you discover during your research?
We evaluated different scenarios to increase the reactor performance of the anaerobic digester. One of our results is that we found that a pH decrease has a positive effect on the reactor performance index, where we take into account the profit from energy production as well as the costs of chemicals for pH control.
We also looked into modelling how the different bacteria in an anaerobic digester are placed in granules, and how the precipitation of minerals inside granules impacts this. The bacteria compete for space in the granules with precipitates, and the simulation model that I developed predicted a decrease in bacteria and biogas production over time in the presence of a high mineral content of the wastewater.
What are the possible wider implications of your research for society?
There is a shift in the wastewater sector, where wastewater is seen as a resource for production energy and higher value products. However, experiments to confirm this are expensive and cost a lot of time. Mathematical models can help scientists steer the direction of the experiments, or implement changes directly on full-scale. This can hopefully result in a more efficient shift of wastewater treatment to resource recovery.
What made you choose applying for a PhD position at DTU Chemical Engineering?
While I did my masters in the Netherlands, I had to do an industrial internship. I had decided to do this in Denmark, and came in contact with DTU Chemical Engineering. I already knew I wanted to do a PhD, and enjoyed Denmark. DTU Chemical Engineering had a lot of interesting research topics, which combined experimental work with modelling. All of this convinced me to find a PhD position in the department.
What does the future hold for you?
After the completion of my PhD I decided to start in industry. I am now working as a fermentation scientist in Novozymes. While this is no longer wastewater, I will keep working on process optimization.

16 Medals - Bermuda Island Games
by Alastair Hamilton -
Forty-five Shetland athletes and officials brought back 16 medals from the Natwest Island Games 2013, held in Bermuda
For 2013, Team Shetland focused on eight sports: athletics, cycling, golf, sailing, clay shooting, squash, swimming and triathlon. Half-marathon runner Karl Simpson, flag bearer at the opening ceremony, has taken part in no fewer than five Island Games.
One of the features of the opening event is a water ceremony; each competing team brings water from their island to be poured into a specially designed fountain that flows for the Games week. Shetland's water carrier, swimmer Andrea Strachan, went on to win two gold and three silver medals during the competitions. Fellow team member Felix Gifford also won five medals - two golds, two silvers and a bronze - in the pool. Shetland's exceptional swimming facilities no doubt contributed to their success: as well as a large pool in Lerwick, there are another seven modern pools around the islands.
Emma Leask also had a very successful outing: she won gold in the women's 800m, setting a new games record, and collected a silver medal in the 400m event. Shortly after returning from Bermuda, she was asked to run for Scotland at an event in Cardiff.
The International Island Games were founded in the Isle of Man in 1985 and today include 24 member islands in, or associated with, the nine sovereign nations of Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the UK, plus the Caribbean. Twenty two island teams competed at the Games from as far afield as the Falkland Islands, Greenland, Faroe and Menorca, as well as several teams from British and Scandinavian islands. Shetland hosted the games in 2005.
Chairman of Shetland Island Games Association, Andrew Inkster, noted that it had taken "a lot of work and planning over the last few months to plan for this year's Games" and thanked everyone involved, including volunteers in the Association and local people and businesses who have supported fundraising efforts. The six-day games began on 13 July; results can be found on the games" website. Shetland finished in 9th position in the medals table, with the islands in the first eight places all having larger populations.

If you want anything in life, the first step to getting it, is knowing what it is that you want. Get clear on what you want in life.
Sounds pretty obvious, right? However, many of us don't have a clear vision of exactly what it is that we want, so we don't really know what we are going after, which can end up with us getting something that we don't actually want.
Perhaps you have heard about 'the law of attraction', which is about how 'like attract like' and how what you focus on is what you get more of. Have you ever thought about what your main focus is? Is it on the things that you want in your life? Or, is it on all the things that you think are wrong in your life.
"Clarity is power. The more clear you are about what you want the more likely you are to achieve it" – Billy Cox
Sit down with yourself, and get clear on what you want. You don't have to have all the answers, but get an idea of the life you want to live. What do you want to do? Where do you want to live? Which people do you want to spend your time with? etc. Consider these things.
Once you have a good idea of what it is that you want, then write it down. Make a list. A list of the things you want in life, and don't limit yourself, dream big. Write it down, make it visual for yourself.
Once you have written it down, you can start to work on one goal at a time. Take a goal, and break it down into smaller more manageable steps. Then make a plan on when to do what, and just get started.

Professor Richard Cowling is a globally renowned vegetation ecologist and conservation scientist. During his 35-year career as a professional botanist, he and his colleagues have conducted ground-breaking research in community ecology, plant diversity and evolution, conservation science and palaeoecology. Much of this has translated into applied outcomes in areas such as conservation planning, degradation ecology, ecological economics, ecosystem services, invasion biology, natural resource management, restoration ecology and social marketing.
He obtained a BSc from the University of Cape Town, followed by his honours and PhD in botany. He accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at Curtin University in Australia then moved to the University of Port Elizabeth (now Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University) as a senior research associate. He spent a year working as a scientific co-ordinator for the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) National Programmes, before returning to UCT as lecturer and eventually associate professor in botany. He also served for eight years as UCT's Leslie Hill Professor of Plant Conservation and director of the Leslie Hill Institute for Plant Conservation. He is currently a distinguished professor and research professor at NMMU, as well as an honorary professor in botany at UCT.
Cowling has become a household name in conservation ecology in South Africa due to his untiring efforts to help safeguard the biodiversity of the Cape, succulent Karoo and subtropical thicket hotspots; his interventions led directly to the proclamation of over 100 000 hectares of threatened natural habitat as protected areas. His research on the restoration of degraded subtropical thicket is guiding programmes in the state and private sectors to restore hundreds of thousands of hectares via the carbon market, using spekboom (Portulacaria afra) for carbon sequestration.
He has mentored 26 PhD and 32 master's students, and published over 350 papers in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, Biodiversity and Conservation, and Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, together with four books and 59 articles. He is listed on Thomson Reuters ISI HighlyCited.com among the 250 most cited researchers in ecology/environment in the world.
He has served on the editorial boards of various journals, including Conservation Biology and Conservation Letters, and has reviewed papers for publications such as Nature, Science, and PLOS Biology.
The extent and depth of Cowling's work over the years has garnered him considerable recognition, such as the Cape Times Centenary Award (Conservation), the Gold Medal Award from the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa, and a Distinguished Service Award from the Society for Conservation Biology in the US.
Cowling is also an elected foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences (US).

A Will Serves Many Purposes
A young man's mother was killed in an automobile accident. The other driver ran a red light going at a high rate of spend in his deliver vehicle. He survived with minor injuries and was declared to be at fault. He was sued by the son for wrongful death of the mother. The insurer for the driver's fleet of deliver trucks settled the suit for excess of $900,000. Though the mother had "nothing" her estate now is worth $900,000. Who gets her assets? She was estranged from her husband for 17 years (never divorced) and she had 3 children (her son with whom she lived, a daughter with drug issues and another daughter who died leaving her only grandchild).
The intestate law would distribute the estate to the husband, son and daughter. The grandchild would not be entitled to any of the estate. Is this the result that would have been intended if a Will was done?

Unlike most health departments, the Boston Public Health Commission oversees and operates the city's Emergency Medical Services. The unique configuration meant that on April 15, when two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, public health was on the scene and ready to respond.
Hours earlier, the commission activated its Office of Public Health Preparedness and Medical Reserve Corps in accordance with its regular responsibilities at the marathon, which this year attracted about 27,000 registrants. The day of the bombings, nearly 200 Boston health department personnel were already on site, overseeing medical activities and treating runners with injuries and health problems inside medical tents set up along the marathon route. Even before the bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 260, health personnel coordinated transportation for about 70 marathon-related illnesses and injuries, said APHA member Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Boston's health commissioner and executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission.
"We were fully staffed and ready to respond because we anticipated having more than the typical number of emergency room admissions that day," Ferrer told The Nation's Health. "That's why there weren't more lives lost."
In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, medical and health department personnel began treating more than 140 people and coordinated hospital transportation for 90 people within 30 minutes, she said. In the hours that followed, the health department's Stephen M. Lawler Medical Intelligence Center, a state-of-the-art communications hub, began coordinating with area hospitals to determine where patients were located and connecting them with their family and friends. It was a difficult task, as many patients were unconscious or were rushed into operating rooms, said Ferrer, who noted that it took more than 12 hours to generate complete patient lists. By 7:30 p.m. on the night of the bombings, the health department and fellow agencies had set up a drop-in center to offer counseling and support as well as to assist the thousands of runners who had traveled in from out of town and were stranded without identification or money.
"To be honest, it was too much to believe," Ferrer said. "It was like a battlefield."
In the days that followed, the health department continued to offer mental health counseling and support, deploying counselors to schools and community groups, to meetings with fellow first responders and to large gatherings, such as vigils. The health department also helped sift through the hundreds of offers of assistance, from people offering prosthetic limbs to those offering to build access ramps in people's homes. Health workers even took a group of patients and families to the street where the bombings took place so they could have a moment to themselves before the street re-opened.
"It was very healing for them, but I wouldn't have thought that's something I would have been doing," Ferrer said. "It's been a real learning lesson."
Ferrer said the health department's preparedness plans were well executed, though there are areas in need of improvement. For example, she said it was difficult to get good patient data in the bombing aftermath, with confusion over what type of medical information is protected under privacy laws. But overall, she praised the city's coordinated response and the hospitals that were ready to receive a surge of patients with only 10 minutes notice.
"In responding to this event, public health could not stand alone," she said. "All these partnerships make sure your response is robust not just in the immediate aftermath, but in the long phase of recovery."
At Massachusetts General Hospital, which received 31 people injured in the bombings, the 49-bed emergency room already had 91 patients when staff first heard of the bombings, said Paul Biddinger, MD, chief of the hospital's Division of Emergency Preparedness. But thanks to planning and practice, staff were able to create extra capacity in mere minutes — "otherwise, it would have been impossible to take in critically injured patients in the span of 10 minutes and successfully get them to the (operating rooms)…it's a tremendous mobilization of resources," he told The Nation's Health. Hospital staff kept in contact with state and local public health officials through the state's Health and Homeland Alert Network, a secure Web portal that sends out real-time alerts.
"We've confirmed many things we suspected…and one is that (preparedness) exercising is absolutely key," said Biddinger, who also serves as associate director of the Harvard School of Public Health Center for Public Health Preparedness. "Local public health and hospitals really do depend on federal funds to support planning activities and exercises and if that funding goes down, we may lose a lot of these gains."
At the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Boston Marathon is typically thought of as a mass casualty exercise, said Mary Clark, MPH, JD, director of the department's Emergency Preparedness Bureau. The day of the bombings, two bureau staff were working at the State Emergency Operations Center and more than a dozen state health workers were stationed in medical tents along the marathon route. Within a minute after the bombs detonated, a worker in the medical tent at the finish line alerted staff at the emergency operations center, which allowed the state health department to send out an alert via the Health and Homeland Alert Network just minutes later, Clark said.
Though much of the response is via local public health, the state health department acts as an information conduit and offers support as needed, Clark said. For example, state health workers coordinated additional blood supplies from Rhode Island and helped hospitals locate extra surgical and amputation kits. And because so many marathon participants did not live in Massachusetts, state health workers disseminated information to fellow state health departments about identifying mental health services for their residents.
"This event underscores that no single discipline can respond to an event like this," Clark said. "A successful response requires (that) public health work closely with public safety and the health care system and having those people at the table is the only way to plan."
Back in Boston, Ferrer noted that without the support of federal public health and hospital preparedness funds, the aftermath of the bombings would have likely been even more serious. Despite the importance of such funds, levels have been declining and President Barack Obama's fiscal year 2014 budget proposal would cut health preparedness and response funds by another $48 million.
"I would hope that what happened in Boston serves as a good example to those who (are) making funding decisions that without past funding, this disaster could have been so much worse," she said. "People's lives were saved and, in part, that was because the city was so well prepared and investments were made across the board."

Q&A: Pernod Ricard's Martin Riley on data collection and social media
Pernod Ricard's Group CMO, Martin Riley, talks to Marketing Week about the challenges of data collection in the drinks industry and measuring performance.
Also in this story:
Marketing Week (MW): How good is the drinks industry at collecting and using data?
Martin Riley (MR): We're probably not in the lead. Clearly, if you're a retailer, hotelier or someone who faces consumers, you have access to direct data. We go through third parties, bars and shops, so there's a real opportunity for us when we do interface directly with consumers to begin that process and build the relationship. If you compare the drinks industry with the frontline, consumer-facing companies, I don't think any of us compare.
MW: Nike has brought its social media team in-house. Is social media handled internally at Pernod Ricard or is it outsourced?
MR: We prefer to have social media teams in-house. We have a small social media team at the Holding [the head office in Paris], which is part of my group, but increasingly the big affiliates and brand companies also have teams internally. It's something we need to be able to control.
If you want to have a conversation with a brand like Glenlivet [malt whisky], you want to talk to the guy in Scotland who is making it. We have a programme called the Glenlivet Guardians [a members-only group that has access to private tastings, limited edition releases and events], who are passionate about the malt whisky.
People who drink single malts generally know a lot about the subject so they want real information. It's very similar to wine in that sense, so I don't think you can put an agency person on it. I can really understand why Nike has made that move.
MW: How do you measure performance considering the structure of the business?
MR: The market and brand companies [see Group Structure, page 18] have specific financial targets which everything is built around. The markets have a target given by the regions and the regions have a target given by the Holding [the company's Paris head office]. Brand companies also have a target given by the Holding.
A brand company like Havana Club, for example, goes to Germany, which happens to be a very big market, and looks at what initiatives they can develop together and what they can generate in terms of financial results for both the market and the brand company. It's all transparent, and they have to work together so they can both meet their targets.
The financial discipline, as in most French companies, is very strong. But it's not short term at the expense of long term – that's the determining factor. We use tools to measure long-term brand equity, as well as short-term performance – it's about balancing the two.
That's effectively what the whole management process is about. Within that you have to recognise that some markets are better performers than others, some are more mature and some are emerging, so what you do in each case may be different, but they all have their financial targets to meet.
MW: How do you find the right balance between promoting a brand and the need to promote responsible drinking?
MR: We take it very seriously. From a marketing point of view it's essential. It's the thing we have to pay most attention to. We're not an FMCG company. We are not selling toothpaste, we are selling strong spirits and wines, so we have to be responsible.
We have internal controls and an internal panel that looks at all promotional and advertising activity and communication before it goes out to make sure it is compliant with our own rules as well as external regulations, like the Portman Group in the UK, which determines what you should and shouldn't do to remain responsible.
The group has an annual company-wide responsibility day. It involves all 18,000 employees around the world devoting themselves to responsible drinking and taking pledges that they are going to do something to encourage the prevention of drink-driving and over-consumption, or educate younger people about drinking in moderation.
MW: What does the rise of digital platforms mean in terms of staffing?
MR: It will have an increasing effect on the structure because we want digital to be absorbed into the brand teams. It's happening at a different pace in different countries and because of our decentralised nature, some of them are moving more quickly than others.
A lot of digital people we've brought in have a goal of being in brand management. They've come in because we need to inject expertise into different parts of the organisation quickly, but they don't want to stay, and we don't want them to stay only as digital experts if they have the ambition and capability to become brand managers and beyond.

A great tool for tackling particularly wide, tall or long hedges.
STIHL's HL 92 KC-E features a short shaft, making it easier to handle, while still being an exceptionally versatile machine.
Top-quality cutting from this hedge trimmer
With its double reciprocating 50 cm blades, STIHL's HL 92 KC-E can handle thick and tough sections of hedge, maintaining accurate and powerful cutting performance. You can also adjust the cutter bar to 145 degrees in both directions, for excellent versatility. As the short-shaft version, this model is easier to handle, but still has an impressive total length of 189 cm.
Intelligent & innovative engine technology
Providing better fuel consumption, higher power and making the machine easier to start, the HL 92 KC-E benefits from STIHL's 2-MIX engine technology. On top of this, the ErgoStart system ensures starting takes less effort, with less force needed to pull the starter cord. A manual fuel pumpminimises the starting stokes to get up and running after periods of inactivity.
A comfortable machine to work with
Using STIHL's ECOSPEED technology, you are able to fine tune the power of the hedge trimmer's engine to maximise fuel consumption and suit the job at hand. This also means you can lower the machine's noise when working in sensitive areas, so gives excellent flexibility.

"Ya, I'm not eating that," my five-year-old daughter says while boldly proclaiming her disgust for all things broccoli. The problem is she does like broccoli. She just doesn't like it on this day when she is tired and adjusting to kindergarten, new friends and teachers. She simply isn't willing to try one more new thing. Frankly, I can't blame her; I've had many days like that myself. We'll try broccoli again next week or maybe on the weekend after she's had a little more rest.
Every parent has been confronted with the mealtime battle. While feeding some children is, without question, more challenging than feeding others, there are a few tried and true ways to move the needle toward a healthier, whole food direction while keeping your sanity (mostly) intact.
Begin by having a conversation that includes the whole family. Explain that the kids and the adults are going to start experimenting and trying new foods: "Sometimes it will be fruit, sometimes it will be vegetables and sometimes meat. If you don't like it, that's OK, but the rule in our house from this day forward is that you have to try it."
When trying to introduce new items or a healthier diet for the whole family, establish some ground rules, but keep the pressure off. Consider taking small steps toward big changes over time.
When my children were very young and I was exasperated with food stubbornness, I took a page out of my husband's aunt's rulebook. In her family, they had a rule called 1, 2, 3: No, thank you! The children were required to try at least three bites. If after three bites they still didn't like it, they were allowed to stay, "No, thank you!" It's a win for parents because the child tried the food, and it reinforced a critical dinnertime lesson: Be polite. It worked for the kids because they could retain some control by being allowed to say no. If they still reject it, accept it but don't offer something less healthy (a hot dog to replace the chicken you made). Offer the rejected item again in a few weeks.
Try to remember children refuse food for a whole host of reasons, and you do, too. Sometimes they are tired, or their taste buds just aren't ready for strong flavors; it could be the texture is unusual and will take a few tries to get used to, which explains why many children like pasta sauce but won't eat raw tomatoes. Frankly, sometimes they just have to poop. No one likes eating when they already feel full. This is life with kids.
We acquire new tastes throughout our lives. Creating healthy eating habits and developing a taste for different foods is a lifelong journey. When I first tried coffee, I didn't like it at all, but eventually the taste grew on me, and now it's a daily ritual I look forward to. Our children experience the same things. Some flavors or textures are just too much, that's OK. Wait a month and offer it again, for years. My kids wouldn't eat peas. Who doesn't like peas? But my kids refused to eat them until one day my husband served them frozen peas. They ate half a bag. Now, they eat hot peas, frozen peas and peas in the pod. Experiment with food in different forms––cooked, frozen, raw and pickled. They might surprise you.
Resist the urge to label your child as picky. It is difficult, but it's the first step in saving yourself from future food frustrations. Picky quickly becomes their identity and can serve as an instant out with older children every time something new is offered. "I'm not going to try that, I'm picky!" It doesn't leave you with a lot of room to maneuver.
Love by association can work wonders. Add a new item but offer it alongside some favorites.
Involve them in the decision making. My children know that I develop recipes and write about food for a living and they like to be part of any project. When I want them to try something new, I will say something like, "Hey guys, mom's working on a new recipe and I really need your insight. Can you try this for me and tell me what I should add to the soup? Does it need more salt?" You don't have to be a recipe developer for that line to work.
Institute vegetable prep day. Designate one day a week where you chop vegetables to have at the ready for cooking larger meals or for simple raw vegetable snacking. Our exhaustion as parents contributes to a lot of mealtime frustration. Spending an hour cooking a meal that no one will eat can drain the patience out of the toughest and most steadfast among us. Make it as easy on yourself as possible for weeknight meals by having fresh vegetables at the ready.
I can't be certain when my daughter will try broccoli again. If she chooses not to, I won't protest too much but I won't make something else. It's my job to offer my children healthy food. Their job is to decide to eat it.

Stop the Criminalisation of Muslims in the UK
13 August 2004 - SACC
SACC is supporting an emergency protest outside the Home Office in London today (4-5.30pm ). People of all communities will gather to express their deep concern at the erosion of civl liberties in this country as the government pursues its war against terrorism. The scapegoating of Muslims is clear for all to see with the ongoing detention of alleged terror suspects picked up in police raids over a week ago. The threat that this dangerous phase in politics poses to all our human rights was underlined by Wednesday's appeal court ruling giving the green light for the use of torture in order to obtain evidence in terrorism cases.
A wide range of organisations and individuals are supporting today's action including Campaign Against Criminalising Communities (CAMPACC), Stop Police Terror (SPT), Gareth Peirce, Tony Benn, Bruce Kent, Victoria Brittain, Tim Gopsill (NUJ), Muslim Public Affairs Committee (MPAC), The Muslim Parliament, Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), Islamic Human Rights Commission, Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF), Stop the War Coalition, JustPeace, Scotland Against Criminalising Communities (SACC), Voices UK, Liberal Democrat Muslim Forum etc.
SACC: "The appeal court judges say that the detentions are up to Blunkett. Very well then, we demand that Blunkett releases the men immediately. If there is evidence against them, let the police prosecute them through the courts in the normal way."
Tony Benn: "The most dangerous thing is to turn political conflicts into a religious war. To try and pin the blame on what is going on, on the Muslim community, will create tensions."
Tony Benn will be speaking about the situation in Iraq at a public meeting in Edinburgh on Monday 16 August (7.30pm Lecture Theatre 3, David Hume Tower, George Square, Edinburgh University), organised by Edinburgh Stop The War Coalition. Terrorism scares have been used repeatedly by the British government to make the public receptive to the idea of military action in Iraq. The latest fighting in Najaf highlights the danger of religious war.
The latest series of politically motivated arrests in the UK war were carried out in the usual fanfare of publicity just over a week ago. One of the latest victims is 30-year-old Babar Ahmad, a university IT officer. He is now threatened with extradition to the US. Babar Ahmad was previously arrested in December 2003, and lated released without charge. He says that he was ill-treated and severely beaten - an official complaint is still pending. He has subsequently spoken out about his treatment at public meetings.
Babar's father, Ashfaq Ahmad, a retired civil servant, believes that his son is an innocent victim of the UK's war against terrorism.
Babar Ahmad's case comes against a backdrop of the erosion of civil liberties and increased surveillance of Muslim, refugee and minority communities in the UK under anti-terrorism laws.
Since 11 September 2001 there have been 562 arrests under the Terrorism Act 2000. Figures released by David Blunkett in March this year showed that only 6 of these people have been convicted and jailed for offences under the act. None of the convictions were for planning or carrying out an act of violence. Conviction figures released more recently appear to have been swelled by the inclusion of convictions for minor offence which have not resulted in a jail term (see note below).
Anti-terrorism laws and the mood of fear and suspicion generated are putting great strains on community relations and provoking real tensions between Muslims and the police.
The conviction rate quoted above is for the number of people "convicted and detained" according to a House of Commons written reply by David Blunkett to a question by Oona King (8 March 2004). The figure currently given by the Home Office for convictions since 11 September 2001 is 15. SACC's provisional interpretation of this is given above (we are not aware of any rush of significant convictions since March). We are currently seeking clarification.

Why Super Bowl Ads Still Matter to CMOs and Marketing Teams
Even pessimistic marketing thought leaders believe more than 100 million viewers caught the Super Bowl ads. For marketers like SunTrust Banks and Mercedes-Benz, it's been the best place to announce initiatives that can then live on other marketing channels. It's a brand awareness powerhouse, despite media fragmentation.
Yesterday was no different. Already the No. 1 search in Google Trends on Saturday night — despite searchers only looking up the game's starting time — the event was top-of-mind for the plurality of Americans on Sunday.
That's despite many of them having already viewed the Super Bowl ads on social media. Still, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram haven't managed to unseat the event's seat at the marketing table, reports CNN Business on Feb. 1.
The article quotes Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management:
"If it's 100 million people, it is still dramatically bigger than anything else that's out there," he added. "It all goes back to: What's the alternative?"
Social media analytics firm Talkwalker told Target Marketing on Friday:
"The big winners with the strongest increases on social media since the ad reveal (30 days period) are clearly Pepsi (Cardi B effect), Doritos (Chance the Rapper effect) and in a certain perspective Budweiser (emotional green energy "Wind never felt better" campaign, 14,027,123 views on YouTube so far)."
As of Saturday night, YouTube clocked 16 million views for this Super Bowl ad:
Buzz hit before the ad even aired from The Washington Post, owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos — who's been the subject of President Donald Trump's tweets.
One of the ads that will likely have a YouTube life far longer than the Super Bowl is this one from financial services company Expensify with 8 million views already on Saturday night. Fair warning, it's NSFW:
On top of the commercials this year, brands are seeing the results of previous marketing efforts play out at the game.
Cardi B says she turned down Super Bowl halftime show to "stand behind" Kaepernick https://t.co/R5x7XM54ZE pic.twitter.com/kgoOZsaUBZ
— The Hill (@thehill) February 3, 2019
Like Cardi B, many celebrities refused to perform during the halftime show, in solidarity with players who have been protesting during the national anthem. In September, Nike backed the leader of those protests — a month before Marc S. Pritchard, chief brand officer at Procter & Gamble, said at Advertising Week New York that all brands should take a stand on societal issues.
Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt pic.twitter.com/SRWkMIDdaO
— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) September 3, 2018
And others simply showed how their brands embodied stands on societal issues:
A surprise theme of the night was mockery of artificial intelligence and the Internet of things. This is perhaps showing consumers that marketers "get it" regarding AI and IoT shortcomings.
What do you think, marketers? Also, what were your favorite ads and why?

The reason I woke up at her place this morning was that I went over there last night to try to make her feel better, because she's been so stressed out by the accident. She had to collect her stuff from the truck on Tuesday, which meant seeing the truck again, which meant realizing just how badly the roof had caved in right over where she had been sitting, which meant realizing for the first time just how close she came to being dead. I didn't really feel like I did much, but she says my being there at all was inherently calming and enabled her to be calmer all day after I left. So that's good. A smaller part of the reason I went over last night was that I wanted to pick up the laptop carrying case she offered to give me. It was too big for her laptop, but it fits mine very well - and it's a nicer case than any I would have bought if I'd bought my own. My laptop is working very nicely so far; the modem is even finally cooperating with dialup. Now I just need to copy my files onto it from Susan's desktop computer, where I backed them all up. I plan to do that this weekend while at her place.
Why must every new company that buys LiveJournal be evil? I really wanted to believe that SUP would be better than SixApart, if only because it would be difficult for them to be any worse. But they seem to be doing a fairly successful job of managing to be even worse. Ugh.
I liked this meme, from gamesiplay and heron61: Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post or comment about it. I can't really think of anything I haven't blogged about, so please point something out to me!

Art and Fear
11 comments:
- Rachael, Pistachio Press said...
I think I had a period of a year where I was depressed after grad school, watching too much tv and having a hard time making art. I didn't realize what was going on at the time but I think part of it was decompressing after the intensity of school for so many years. I read art and fear then, too! Now I have an opposite fear that even though I work so hard making a living by printing (letterpress) I worry that I'm a sell-out. So many years of academic BS about being a "real" artist and I feel bad for making pretty things that make money. Shouldn't I be showing in galleries and paying to get my work in juried shows? Ha! Such a cycle.

I've been a bum these last few months as well, I never finish anything. I keep getting distracted with other things (or maybe I am letting myself be distracted). Either way, this winter has been especially hard. I feel like I should be in the studio getting tons of work done!

- A Beautiful Party said...
Rachael, thank you so much for sharing that. It actually gave me a lot of hopeful feelings because I certainly admire what you are doing and knowing that you experienced the same feelings I did/do after school lets me know that there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel.
And Cassie, oh how I wish we could be going through this together in the same town. maybe it would help light a fire even more...
thanks, ladies!

I have felt this way often over these post 7 years since undergrad. Summers help because I now make it a point to either take a class or a workshop and get contact with other artists, many who feel the exact same way. Work through it. Bite the bullet and just keep working. Its hard, and you will make several "bad" pieces. Keep them as a learned lesson to reflect on later. I try to get into as many shows as I can too. Evansville is my metals market and Bowling Green is my watercolor market. Networking helps.

I completely understand; I was out of school for three years between undergrad and grad school. The thing that kept me motivated was continuing to take workshops, because I, (like you it seems) need to be around others who are making work in order to maintain my motivation. It is so difficult to feel alone in your artmaking, because after a time you feel as though it doesn't matter what you make since you aren't sharing it with anyone.
In the time between undergrad and grad I took 3 bookbinding workshops (at the American Academy of Bookbinding), one sculptural papermaking workshop (at Penland), and I received three different internships, each to maintain my hand skills.
Continuing to find yourself in a somewhat academic setting, even out of school, is the best advice I can give anyone. It is the only thing that has helped to maintain my happiness and creativity.

- Rachael, Pistachio Press said...
Ann, it's always nice to not feel alone. You've gotten some good comments :) My other piece of advice is to find a studio space to share with friends or other artists. Even something small or a monthly crit. I got a space with friends five years ago and it's been amazing, even the months we just use it as storage when life gets in the way of making!

Keep on Truckin'! Hopefully we can be inspired together at Frogman's this summer. You'll have to teach me all you learn about staying inspired post-graduation. I'll check out that book, for sure.

- Deliberate Creator said...
Art and Fear is a good book to look at now and again. I read in undergrad, in time off after undergrad and during grad school. I think it is important to just continue to endure, and find the things that allow you to do that the best that you can. I always experience a post-partum experience: after undergrad, after grad school, after every big show, after a life change, someone leaves, every time my supportive art community shifts, etc...
Remember that you get to set the bar for yourself. You decide when you are making enough and getting your work out there enough. And sometimes down times amount to being incubation periods. hang in there because you are not alone.
- February 13, 2011 at 9:53 PM
- Unknown said...
Ann, this is exactly what I was talking about the other night. That frustration of deciding whether to make things that are "good" enough for a gallery or if you should just keep it in the Etsy shop and see if it sells? Not feeling like what you are currently making is on par with what you made a while ago...
ugh. it all stinks. and its hard and depressing, but we are all going through that together. we should talk more and be more supportive for each other. the worst part is when your most inspiring work-mates are miles away from you.
i miss you, friend. can't wait to see you soon and give you a big hug.

Hi again,
Oh I soooo know what you mean. My previous studio space was a room on my own and there wasn't even a communal area to meet and chat and I didn't like it. The studio I'm in now is a shared space and there is something about the community. But like everything there are peaks and troughs!
I think if we know what our passion is or ideas we want to share with the world it's easier to stay convicted about making art. But being an artist isn't an easy path. But you are not alone and keep making :) I have a lovely piece of your work and I love it!
Maybe I will be taking my own advice after I graduate from my art MA!!!!

Sorry to read that things are hard at the moment. But it sounds like you're doing your best to turn it around and use art as a tool -- keep going!! Best wishes from germany, tj

Angelina Jolie is rich and famous but she's also a typical mom when it comes to cherishing the delights of shopping with her daughters. Looking stunning amid the ongoing drama of her split from Brad Pitt, Jolie was just seen bonding with Vivienne and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt at Target, according to the Daily Mail.
With a net worth of around $160 million, Angelina showed on Saturday that she appreciates the bargains available at the well-known retail store. Her daughters Shiloh and Vivienne helped their 42-year-old famous mother explore at one of the retailer's stores in Los Angeles.
In a contrast from the flowing black maxi dresses in which Jolie has been seen recently, Angelina opted to go for casual chic in a sleek skirt and grey cardigan. Flat sandals completed her summer style. One of her daughters, 11-year-old Shiloh, chose to stay cool in flip flops, brown cargo shorts, a white Dallas Mavericks T-shirt, and a navy hoodie.
At nine, Vivienne seems to be walking in her big sister's footsteps. The little girl wore flip flops just like Shiloh, going for a lighter shade of brown in her beige trousers. And with a superhero touch, Vivienne proudly sported a light blue Superman T-shirt.
This isn't the first time that Shiloh and Vivienne have been seen at Target. As the Inquisitr reported, Angelina's two biological daughters recently were spotted stepping out minus their shoes at the retailer. The girls were in the company of nannies, and they seemed to be having fun as they played.
As for what the group purchased on their shopping trip with Jolie, the actress left the store without any shopping bags visible.
Angelina Jolie looks every bit the normal mom as she takes Shiloh and Vivienne shopping at Target https://t.co/JzIdpA7SKy— Daily Mail Celebrity (@DailyMailCeleb) August 19, 2017
Jolie and the girls seemed to have simply enjoyed browsing around the store, but they did emerge with a beverage for each shopping participant. Shiloh got water, Angelina choose juice, and Vivienne received a treat of a store soda.
Not present for the shopping expedition were Jolie's and Brad Pitt's four other children, ranging in age from 16-year-old Maddox to 13-year-old Pax to 12-year-old Zahara, and Knox, who at nine is Vivienne's twin. The children's father Brad Pitt also was not seen on the Target trip.
The Daily Mail speculated that a possible reason for Angelina to head to Target was to get some "lighting inspiration in the home fittings aisle, having recently run afoul of her lighting designer."
As for how Shiloh's and Vivienne's dad Brad is doing, the Daily Mail described Pitt as looking "downcast" during a recent sighting on the set of his upcoming film, Ad Astra. Brad and Angelina recently were told to pay a $662,000 bill after allegedly failing to credit the work of their lighting designer.
"Brad Pitt appeared to feel the blow as he was pictured looking a little downcast while on set of his upcoming movie."
Pitt, 53, sported a a military uniform while he filmed the scenes for the upcoming science fiction movie at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. In the film, Brad portrays Army Corps engineer Roy McBride. Roy has taken on the mission of finding his dad after he left earth seeking alien life 20 years ago. The engineer's goal takes him on an enthralling trip across the galaxy.
Hollywood legends Donald Sutherland and Tommy Lee Jones are joining Pitt in the film, along with Ruth Negga, who worked with Brad in World War Z. Pitt looked lean in his uniform after having stated that he lost weight following giving up alcohol. He said that he now sips cranberry juice and carbonated water rather than booze.

Will Seattle Start an Uber Unionization Domino Effect?
Car Rental & Rail Michael Isenbek December 13, 2015
Seattle's city council will vote Monday whether to grant drivers who work for app-based, on-demand; ride hailing services such as Uber and Lyft the right to collectively bargain over pay and working conditions — a situation those companies are not happy about, and may in fact be illegal, the Associated Press reported.
Seattle is no stranger to pioneering workers' rights legislation, the AP noted. It is one of the first cities to pass laws that will gradual raise minimum wage to $15 and require employers to give paid sick leave.
But as Councilmember Mike O'Brien explained to the AP, the ride-hailing service drivers are independent contractors, so the National Labor Relations Act, which allows for collective bargaining, doesn't cover them. O'Brien also told the AP that many Seattle drivers are immigrants who need the full-time work, but some make less than minimum wage, and lack basic worker rights.
"This feels like the right thing to do," O'Brien said to the AP, who expects a legal battle if the measure passes. "We don't take legal challenges lightly, but we recognize that businesses sue when they disagree with our policies."
"The ordinance is puzzling because I think it's generally believed to be flatly illegal what they're trying to do," said Uber chief adviser David Plouffe, who ran President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, during a recent talk in Seattle, according to the AP.
Plouffe is referring to federal labor laws that prevent cities from regulating collective bargaining for independent contractors, the AP said, and also the fact that such an ordinance would violate federal antitrust laws put in place to block independent transportation providers from artificially driving up transportation costs.
Samuel Estreicher, a law professor at New York University, said to the AP that if the drivers aren't employees per federal labor law, that pre-empts any contradicting city ordinance.
He pointed out to the AP that the bigger issue is whether or not independent businesses uniting to collectively bargain is an antitrust violation.
"If the Seattle ordinance survives challenge, we'll see it in a lot of cities," Estreicher declared.
"We believe the proposed ordinance threatens the privacy of drivers, imposes substantial costs on passengers and the city, and conflicts with longstanding federal law," Lyft spokeswoman Chelsea Wilson said in a statement, per the AP.
Under the proposed ordinance, the AP explained, "the city will give certified nonprofits organizations a list of eligible drivers at each company, and the groups must show that a majority of drivers of each company want representation. Those organizations would then bargain on behalf of those drivers."
Michael Palmer, 55, an Uber driver for a year and a half who drives around 50 hours a week, indicated to the AP that he's divided. "Unions always have been a good thing in any business. It helps with having a voice," adding, "But I don't know if a union would work for something like Uber."
"Are we employees or partners? We don't get treated as partners," said Fasil Teka, 40, a part time Uber driver, to the AP. "We have no way to negotiate with Uber … The only way we can achieve what we deserve as a driver is by working together," he said.

The San Ace PWM fan controller fills a gap in the market for a dedicated unit capable of controlling PWM fans by various control functions. It generates a PWM output signal from four possible types of inputs. These possible functions are:
Voltage control (0-5 V dc)
Internal adjustment (using the adjustable knob)
External adjustment (with a suitable potentiometer)
Thermistor control (using the adjustable knob with an external thermistor connected)
Only one input option can be selected at a time however the unit can control up to four fans.
This unit can be common-powered by the fan power supply of rated voltages 12 Vdc, 24 Vdc and 48 Vdc. This eliminates the requirement for a separate power supply reducing overall costs. By controlling the fan speeds and only having them running at the required power, the overall power consumption of the circuits are reduced further reducing operational costs.
Reduces system power consumption
Reduces unnecessary fan noise
Maximum of four fans connectable
Can be common-powered by the fan power supply
Multiple input functions can be used
Simple to use control knob and function selector
DIN Rail mounting or screw mounting
Note for thermistor and external adjustment control a suitable thermistor and potentiometer must be ordered separately. See stock number 697-4556 for a typical thermistor and stock number 729-3426 for a typical potentiometer.

"Having loved His own…He loved them to the end." Jn 13:1 NKJV
On a busy morning, a nurse in the crowded emergency room seated an elderly gentleman who had come to have stitches removed from his hand. He said, "I'm in a hurry, nurse. I have an appointment in an hour." As the line of patients ahead of him moved slowly he kept looking anxiously at his watch. Knowing he'd never make his appointment, the nurse led him to an examination room, checked his vital signs and evaluated the condition of his wound. Seeing it was well-healed, she consulted with one of the doctors and got clearance to remove his sutures and re-dress his wound. She asked, "Are you hurrying to another doctor's appointment?" He said, "No, I'm on my way to have breakfast with my wife at the nursing home." She asked about his wife's health and learned she was a victim of Alzheimer's disease. "Will she be upset if you're late?" The old man told her she hadn't recognized him in five years. Surprised, the nurse asked, "And you still go to see her every morning, although she doesn't know who you are?" The old man smiled, patted her hand and replied, "Oh, yes. She doesn't know who I am, but I still know who she is!" Loving "for better or for worse" means being committed to each other in every season and circumstance of life. It's how Christ loves us: "Having loved His own…He loved them to the end." And it's why He said: "A new command I give you…As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (Jn 13:34 NIV).

The world's largest hand-loomed carpet, the fastest roller coaster, the highest high tea, the tower with the greatest lean, the largest cluster of cultural buildings of the 21st century – UAE capital Abu Dhabi isn't afraid to challenge world records. Welcome to an exciting city where nothing stands still except perhaps the herons in its mangroves.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was a dream in the heart of the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan "May God rest his Soul", where he established its general vision, set its foundation stone, and crowned thereby a journey full of fulfilled dreams and great achievements. The Mosque is an expression of a visionary leader who believed that nothing is impossible and conceived that the most gracious achievements start from the heart.
As a testament to the vision of its founder, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque sits majestically at the entrance to Abu Dhabi City Island, distinctly visible from the three main bridges connecting the island to the main land, the Maqta, Mussafah and the Sheikh Zayed Bridge. The strategic geographical location of the Mosque is a symbolic expression of the emotional connection the Mosque has in the hearts of all UAE citizens particularly because the burial place of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, first President of the UAE, is located beside the mosque.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is well recognized by its pure color, as it is clad with SIVEC marble from Macedonia. Every artistic design element was carefully considered and fits into the overall vision of the Mosque.
Combining Mamluk, Ottoman and Fatimid styles, the design of the minarets fuse the wide and diverse Islamic world into one summation of art and beauty. Developing the art of ornamentation thorough using multi-colored marble to create unprecedented artistic forums with the help of natural colors in addition to the development of sophisticated techniques associated with the decoration of crowned columns. The crowns are not located on the top of the columns but at the bottom. This extraordinary technique is innovative to Islamic architecture.
Giving priority to the art of using colors to create original artistic forms. The colors of the walls, columns and the carpet are harmonized together transforming the entire Mosque into an artistic masterpiece and a symphony of colors and shades. Using modern techniques of artistic glass work; mosaic, carved and sand blasted glass displaying traditional Islamic designs of symmetry and repetition.
Emirates Palace
The Emirates Palace is a luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Built as a landmark showcasing Arabian culture, Emirates Palace offers luxury hospitality. Situated on 1.3 km of private beach and surrounded by 85 hectares of gardens and lawns, with 114 domes that are 80 meters high, Emirates Palace comprises 394 rooms and suites.
Traditional decor is used inside mostly in silver, gold, marble and glass mosaics. The chandeliers are made of Swarovski crystal. There are 114 domes (including the Grand Atrium which is higher than the dome of St.Peter's Basilica in Rome), 200 fountains, the luxurious and technologically advanced Conference Center, The marvelous Blue Salon and so on. The colors of the building reflect the different shades of the Arabian Desert. The simplest suite is called Palace Suite.
Abu Dhabi Corniche
A leisurely stroll along the Abu Dhabi Corniche is one of the best things to do when you travel to Abu Dhabi. This seaside boardwalk is 4 miles long. The walkways are paved and dotted with benches, gardens and amazing views of the Arabian Gulf.
It is a great spot for an evening walk (when its a bit cooler). The corniche is well lit and quite safe. You can easily walk from many of the Corniche hotels to Marina Mall and Heritage Village by following the Corniche pathways.It forms a sweeping curve on the western side of the main Abu Dhabi island and is replete with cycle paths, fountains and park areas. Between 2002 and 2003, land was reclaimed from the sea and the Corniche was extended
Ferrari World
Situated on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, this amusement park is the largest and the only Ferrari branded indoor theme park in the world.It offers a truly amazing experience for every family member with thrilling rides, exciting attractions, themed stores and restaurants, all inspired by the rich Ferrari brand and its Italian heritage. The park boasts more than 20 unique rides and attractions for visitors of all ages and interests from speed thrill rides to the truly advanced simulators and family-friendly attractions in addition to a wide variety of Italian restaurants, unique shopping experiences and dedicated entertainment.Opened to the public in November 2010, this theme park has enormous thrilling rides and also includes the world's fastest roller coaster ride which runs at a speed of 240 kilometers per hour.
For those looking to engage with Gulf culture, Abu Dhabi offers opportunities to understand the UAE's history through museums, exhibitions and tours. But thankfully Emirati heritage isn't boxed and mothballed; it's also experienced through strolls around the dhow harbor, haggling in markets and absorbing the atmosphere at sheesha cafes.
