Daniel Goleman's bestseller 'Emotional Intelligence' was published over 15 years ago. Since then everyone has been talking a lot about Emotional Quotient, EQ. But, no one has as yet shown us the precise way to develop our Emotional Intelligence or EQ. Actually developing EQ, in simple words, means developing our ability to handle our emotions. And unfortunately no one seems to know the way to teach children the way to handle their emotions. This is the main reason why mental health problems in children are increasing day by day.
The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community." Whenever we cannot handle our emotions and our feelings get enraged, which happens quite often, we lose our state of well-being, i.e. we lose our mental health, according to the WHO definition, and are mentally ill. So, a low EQ, or the inability to handle our emotions often, is a symptom of an emotional sickness or a mental sickness.
But the trouble is that most of us are unable to admit that we are mentally sick. Lord Bernard Shaw had once said that "The earth is the mental asylum of the universe." So there is noting wrong in being mentally sick or admitting it. And if we want to help our children to develop their EQ, it is necessary that parents be honest with their children, and admit it to them. If they cannot admit it, it leads to the famous 'double blind,' where parents ask children to do one thing, but themselves do just the opposite. This is what confuses children and they grow up with all sorts of mental conflicts.
For instance, parents get angry and scold, shout and hit children when children get angry and shout, cuss or beat others. The only way children know of expression their negative feelings (such as anger and fear) is to throw tantrums or shout, sometimes even by using profanity (bad words). If the child is stronger than the other person, like parents are stronger than children, he might even beat the other person.
When parents punish or shout at children for expressing their negative feelings as above (or even for making or admitting their mistakes), what children learn is that they should never express their negative feelings (or even be dishonest and not admit mistakes), lest they be reprimanded or punished. This bottling up of their negative feelings is probably the thing that is most responsible for anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD and other problems in children. And when children experience these problems later on, they find it difficult to admit it to their parents, for the fear of getting scolded, which their parents have instilled in them. So you can see, I hope that it is self-defeating when parents scold or punish children for throwing tantrums, and even for using profanity.
The only way to help children to develop their EQ is to teach parents and teachers some simple way to handle their emotions, so that they can teach it to their children. Attitude is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as 'the settled way of thinking and feeling.' Our thinking and feeling always depends on what we have learnt – or on the information that is stored in our memory. When the information we've learnt is inappropriate or wrong, like the negative things children learn from their parents as mentioned above, it leads to a lot of anger and fear and all sorts of behavioral problems. So in order to develop the ability to handle and manage our emotions and develop EQ we ought to have the technique to check our past experiences, understand what all wrong things we had learned in the past, and then to make corrections to them.
At present most therapists use cognitive therapies for dealing with emotions. But in cognitive therapies only the present thought leading to the emotions are corrected. They do not address the root cause of the problem – all the wrong information that had been stored in our memory in the past. So a different approach to handling our emotions and developing EQ is called for. Also, it takes weeks and months of weekly sessions for a person to learn the way to handle his feelings when using these cognitive therapies. And, nobody likes to sacrifice so much of his time just for learning to handle his emotions.
In 'Emotional Intelligence' Goleman says, "Though the predisposition to substance abuse may, in many cases, be brain-based, the feelings that drive people to "self-medicate" themselves through drink or drugs can be handled without recourse to medication, as Alcoholics Anonymous and other recovery programs have demonstrated for decades. Acquiring the ability to handle those feelings—soothing anxiety, lifting depression, calming rage—removes the impetus to use drugs in the first place. These basic emotional skills are taught remedially in treatment programs for drug and alcohol abuse. It would be far better, of course, if they were learned early in life, well before the habit became established."
I have been fortunate to have been an addict and an alcoholic. In searching for a way out of my problem, I found a simple way for quickly overcoming resentments and personality conflicts from the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous.' By adding a relaxation therapy of Vipassana meditation to it, I found it to be the best way for handling our emotions. I worked a couple of years as a counselor at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Seva Mandir Hospital in Bandra, helping addicts, alcoholics and their family members. In that period I was able to see that the simple psychoanalysis therapy could be completed in just a single session of three or four hours.
While the psychoanalysis can correct the wrong information stored in our declarative or 'explicit memory', the simple Vipassana meditation, which I use in my therapy, helps us to correct the wrong information stored in our 'implicit memory' system or the 'body memory,' which I had talked about in my previous blog, as it makes us aware of our body sensations and helps us to learn from them. It is so simple that even children can learn it. It is the best way to inculcate values in children, and for them to develop their EQ. At present Vipassana is being taught only to children of all schools of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. If any school wishes to teach this meditative technique to their student, it will be my pleasure to teach it to them.

Copyright © ADLM Counties Environmental Public Health. All rights reserved.
ADLM Counties Environmental Public Health's goal is to improve the quality of life for the rural communities within the four county areas of Appanoose, Davis, Lucas and Monroe. Our goal is to provide essential environmental health services to the residents and guests of ADLM counties. These services are designed to ensure that people residing in or visiting can work, raise families, recreate and grow without the threat of food borne, water borne, or vector borne disease and to protect and preserve environmental resources such as earth, water, air, fauna and flora. The major focus areas of these efforts are as follows:
ADLM Environmental Public Health was formed in 1996 by the four counties of Appanoose, Davis, Lucas and Monroe. At that time a commission was formed and is comprised of one elected official from the Board of Supervisors in each county. Each supervisor also sits on the Board of Health in their respective county. This was accomplished through a 28E Intergovernmental Agreement with each county that gives ADLM the authority to enforce the Board of Health rules and regulations in the four county areas.

Once again, I have failed you all. I hereby relinquish my credentials as a horrorologist by attesting to the fact that I have yet to see Ti West's THE INNKEEPERS. I've heard nothing but great things, especially regarding the film's leads, Pat Healy and Sara Paxton. This makes it all the more awkward for me to report that the duo are reuniting for yet another independent chiller, CHEAP THRILLS.
Based on a script by DEADGIRL writers Trent Haaga and David Chirchirillo, CHEAP THRILLS is "the story of a new father facing eviction who is reunited with a high school friend when a wealthy couple challenges them to the ultimate game of dare, testing the limits of physical pain and morality in exchange for cash."
Comedian David Koechner, Ethan Embry, and Amanda Fuller have also signed on for CHEAP THRILLS. Genre writer E.L. Katz (HOME SICK, AUTOPSY) will mark the film as his directorial debut. Snowfort Pictures and New Artist's Alliance are producing and shooting begins this week. Between the two production companies are such impressive genre credits as MILO, THE AGGRESSION SCALE, and A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE, so I'd say we're in good hands.
With an ingeniously depraved premise and great cast, I'd say CHEAP THRILLS is a darkly comedic horror flick to be on the lookout for. Then again, I said the same thing about THE INNKEEPERS only to find myself in this situation. Endeavoring to learn from my mistakes, I hereby pledge that I'm down for some CHEAP THRILLS. Are you?

President-elect Donald Trump appointed Stephen Bannon as the White House chief strategist for his administration; well, several conservatives and liberals have alleged that Stephen Bannon is a white nationalist. The White House Chief strategist responded to these allegations in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in which he completely denied those claims.
In the interview, which took place on Tuesday at Trump Tower, Steve told Michael Wolff the website's media columnist that he is not a white nationalist. Instead, Stephen Bannon criticized the globalist movement saying that it had created the middle class in Asia by gutting the American working class adding that he is an economic nationalist.
The presidency of Andrew Jackson had a wave of populism that the former Breitbart News executive has compared with the president-elect's presidency. Stephen Bannon has made a statement that the president-elect's administration is going to build a new political movement where everything will be related to job opportunities.
Steve also expressed his awareness of the fact that the conservatives are not receptive of the idea; he said that he has a concrete plan on how he is going to for a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. The plan will strive to create opportunities by introducing negative interest rates throughout the world and as a result, the crucial manufacturing activities such as iron works and Ship yards will be revamped. Bannon added that the whole process will be as exciting and greater that the Reagan revolution in the 1930's; Bannon described this revolution as a constituent of populists and conservatives in as economic nationalist movement.
Stephen Bannon made this statements two days after the president-elect appointed him as Chief strategist of the White House, Reince Priebus was also appointed to serve under the president-elect's administration as the White House chief of staff. Most liberals have agreed with the president-elect's decision to appoint Reince Priebus as White House chief of staff as they said that Mr. Trump had made the right decision. However, liberals and conservatives too have criticized Donald Trump's decision to appoint Stephen Bannon as the Chief strategist.

Alykel Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Алыкель) (IATA: NSK, ICAO: UOOO) is a large airport in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia located 35 km west of Norilsk. Alykel is the only functional airfield around Norilsk. It handles medium-sized airliners and is serviced by 24-hour operations. Since it is capable of handling widebody jets it is designated as one of several emergency airfields for cross-polar airline routes.
It was originally constructed in the late 1950s as a staging base for Soviet bombers to reach the United States. This role continues to this day with caretaker status provided by the Russian Air Force's OGA (Arctic Control Group). Norilsk also is served by interceptor aircraft under the 57 IAP (57th Interceptor Aircraft Regiment), which as of 1991 had 24 Sukhoi Su-15TM aircraft .

La Thébaïde
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
La Thébaïde, or The Thebaid, is a tragedy in five acts (with respectively 6, 4, 6, 3 and 6 scenes) in verse by Jean Racine first presented, without much success, on June 20, 1664 at the Palais-Royal in Paris.[1] The play depicts the struggle and death of the young son of Oedipus, as well as that of Antigone. This subject had already occupied many authors before Racine. Thus, the young playwright, still fairly inexperienced, drew particularly from the Antigone of Sophocles, the Phoenician Women of Euripides, but especially the Antigone of Jean Rotrou and the tragedies of Pierre Corneille.
The plot is the same as the rest of the Theban plays and poems, in which Eteocles and Polynices, the two warring brothers, fight fiercely, despite the entreaties of their mother, Jocasta and Antigone, their sister, and their two cousins, Menoeceus and Haemon son of Creon. All these characters without exception are killed. Some kill themselves or die of grief. Their characters are quite weakly drawn, Eteocles and Polynices are monotonously violent, Jocasta tired by their declamations, and Creon is a cynical traitor.

It's wonderful to have so many inspiring local educators! This week's profile is of Matt Ives, a teacher at Amesbury Primary School.
1. What brought you to #WellyED?
Teachers need to connect. I believe it's an absolutely fundamental part of our jobs. Connecting online is the first step, but there is a certain magic which happens when it is face-to-face. A buzz, an energy. WellyEd offers a way to connect with local educators – to hang out and chat and share good practice. This diffuses good ideas throughout our network, rather than them sitting alone in schools, championed by a Lone Nut. WellyEd offers an opportunity to support each other learn what good learning and teaching is and can be in our cool little capital.
2. What's something exciting that's happening in your classroom or in your sector?
We've developed a web-based application called the Amesbury Learning Framework (or ALF) and have been using it with great success over the last few months. Currently, we have a complete Year 1 – 8 writing matrix in it, which breaks down the key components of writing across those years, drawn from the Literacy Progressions, the NZC, and our own knowledge and research. It varies, but there could be 25 – 30 writing components/indicators in a single year. Each student has their own personal matrix, with their progress in relation to the achievement of these indicators made clear. There are a few elements of this that are particularly exciting. The first is that students know exactly where they are at, and what they need to work on to get to the next step. Students get instruction and guidance based not on what year they are in, but what their next steps are. Also, students can upload evidence to prove they are meeting a certain indicator. This puts the locus of responsibility and control firmly in their hands. We've also attached rewindable learning (videos, links, or presentations) to many of the indicators, allowing students to access the learning they need to "complete" an indicator. Those are a few of the features. We're looking to get reading and maths matrices into ALF in Term 1 next year.
3. Who or what inspires you?
Those students who find learning difficult but still persevere, inspire me to no end. Some kids work so bloody hard at school, despite what home life might be like, or their own learning difficulties. People who get out there and share their stories, go to Educamps, or Ignite evenings, sacrificing their own personal time to learn and grow – they inspire me. People who are not mesmerised by the sweet siren song of shiny new technology – instead constantly and critically putting the learning first, and focusing on great pedagogy – those people inspire me too. And the lads from NoTosh are also really inspiring me at the moment to incorporate Design Thinking and the mindset of a designer (holding ideas lightly, the importance of feedback, empathy building and creativity) into learning.
4. What's your next professional learning goal?
Finding ways to infuse more creativity into the Big Three: reading, writing, and maths.
5. When I'm not teaching I'm…
Hanging out with my beautiful boy and beautiful wife. I now consider going to the playground, reading Hairy Maclary books and playing with LEGO the high point of any weekend. Once the boy's asleep you'll also find me doing a bit of gaming on my Playstation 4, indulging in the odd brewski, and chain-binging TV series and movies. I also like to read and run and relax in the sun.
If you'd like to see a Wellington educator you know featured here, please let us know!

The band on everyone's lips, Cigarettes After Sex have announced the addition of a Sydney headline show to their forthcoming Australian tour. The Brooklyn four piece will play Max Watt's on Wednesday, January 3.
The tour announce comes on the back of their stunning eponymous debut album, released earlier this year to universal acclaim and described by The Big Issue as "one of 2017's most intoxicating debuts."
Lead singer Greg Gonzalez had a clear vision for his band's debut album, a gorgeously cinematic work which features singles "Apocalypse", "K" and "Each Time You Fall In Love". The album unspools like the most achingly romantic of movies: immersive, cohesive and transporting. Swooning in the spirit of influences such as Mazzy Star and Red House Painters, its sumptuous songs of love elevate Cigarettes to the ranks of those acts who create worlds of their own, exciting the most devoted kind of following.

Lesson Plan
Activity Plan 3-4: Freezing Paper
Here's a "cool" way to investigate paper and paint!
Ready-To-Use Teaching Ideas: Science/Art
- newsprint paper
- aluminum foil
- watercolor, food coloring in water, or watered-- down tempera paint
- chalk and crayon
- chart paper
- medium-size paintbrushes
- containers for water
Objective: Children will see how paper reacts to temperature changes.
In Advance: Ask the children to predict what they think would happen to paper if it were frozen. Do they think they could paint on frozen paper? Record the children's predictions on chart paper. Tell the children that they will have the opportunity to test their predictions as they engage in several frozen-- paper investigations!
1 To prepare the paper for freezing, give each child a large sheet of newsprint paper and one or two pieces of aluminum foil. (The aluminum foil base should be a bit larger than the newsprint.) Ask the children to put the newsprint on top of the foil and paint it with water until the entire sheet of paper is wet.
2 Once all their paper has been saturated, the children can begin layering the paper by placing the foil between each wet sheet. Freeze overnight.
3 The following day, ask the children to help you remove the paper from the freezer. Remove the foil to reveal the frozen newsprint. Give each child a sheet of frozen paper, keeping the aluminum foil as a base.
4 Set up an area with watercolors, tempera paint, chalk, and crayons. Encourage the children to use the variety of materials to color their frozen paper. What happens to the materials when they are first applied to the frozen paper? What happens to the paper as it begins to "thaw"? How do the different materials react to the frozen paper? How do the same materials react to the paper as it melts? Invite the children to compare their initial predictions with what they have learned.
5 Ask the children to predict what they think would happen if the papers were placed back into the freezer. Record their predictions. Place the papers back into the freezer, let them freeze overnight, and discover the results the next day.
Curriculum Connection
Movement: Freeze and Thaw to Music!
Play some music the children like, and ask them to move as though they were thawing or melting. When the music stops, children will freeze.

I have just come back from a whole day of PTA bollocks. Every year the prefecture (and I presume all prefecture's in Japan) have a PTA bollocks day where abut 6 schools have to give presentations on things usually to do with deepening the bond between parents and children. I think kizuna (bond) must be one of the most used words in PTA materials in Japan – it also just happens to be the name of the one and only karaoke place in Kunimi – a place where hub and I have um, ahem, consummated our 'bond'.
The morning part of the PTA started with a traditional Japanese chant slash dance, slash funny man in a priest-type outfit, with a man beating a drum and saying 'manzai' after every so-called 'joke' that the priest man waving the Japanese fan said. This particular one is traditionally done in the New Year – in front of a vestling audience. He had to adapt it a bit to fit the PTA audience of course…. Not that this helped the fact it had absolutely nothing to do with parents, teachers, or any associations and I am sure the people that drove three hours to get there were stoked at having to waste an hour watching the 'attractions'.
The second attraction was Marina's old dance company. I saw the daughter teacher out front and she asked if I was actually truly back for good…??!! There have been some serious rumors going around about me actually leaving hub. Sometimes I wonder if it is just a conversation opener… "oh… so you're really back for good?" – kind of like you would say, "hi ya, lovely day isn't it." But alas I have had it confirmed by a semi-friend that they heard I had gone back with the kids for good.
Hmmmm. Japanese whispers.
I will admit that it felt funny watching the dances that Marina used to dance and knowing how it was back stage and how much practice the girls would have put in, how many bobby pins the mothers had clipped on their aprons etc. Then I woke the fuck up and thought FFS, have been gone 6 months and these are exactly the same dances – bar the new hip hop ensemble that is done by a different teacher – that was very cool.
Following the 'attractions' we then had to listen to approximately 11.5 'aisatsu' (greetings) from various people including the mayor of Oita prefecture. I say 11.5 because inevitably there is always someone important who can't make it and who has sent a minion to read their 'aisatsu' on their behalf.
The photo is shit because our area had to sit the furthest away because 'we' were the hosts. Not everyone could get in and my friend got turned away because there wasn't a seat for her son. You would 'think' that at a PTA event in the middle of the bloody weekend that they would a) let kids in or b) have a room with someone watching kids. The table on the left is the people hosting the event and the right table is all guests – mayor, education dept dude yaddah yaddah. They all have red roses on because well, they are guests and while in NZ the only people making money out of red roses to wear on your lapel are florist shops around the school ball season, in Japan there is a company making a lot of money out of fake red 'distinguished guest' flowers. The man standing directly behind the flag is the sign language interpreter. There were three of them taking it in turns.
The aisatsu were followed by a certificate ceremony and a hand-over-of-the-flag ceremony. Did I mention this was PTA? The head of the PTA for this area (man that hub used to work with who goes beetroot red after a teaspoon of beer but who continues to drink until he passes out) got a certificate in 'thanks' for the work the area PTA put in to host the event. The flag exchange was between him, the now PTA head, and the guy who will be the PTA head from April. Sometimes I just sit there and think about how this would so not happen in New Zealand that I have to control myself. I get why it happens here. Passing the responsibility over yaddah yaddah.
The last part of the ceremony, before the main guest speaker came on to compare humans to the wild squirrels and deer he helps save in Hokkaido, was the PTA group for next year's event. They already have their flags and jackets and slogan all sorted. They also had two giant mushrooms – well one is a shiitake mushroom and the other is kind of rainbow colored so I can only presume its a magic mushroom??
The whole thing is predominantly males despite the fact everyone knows the mums go to most of the shit. At kinder level the mums do pretty much everything – and it is quite a lot. Nothing to take lightly I can tell you. Do you know how much organization goes into a group trip to the Safari with 32 kids, 40 parents, 7 grandparents, and 6 teachers? Inclusive of greetings, traffic safety, games and a goody bag? At primary school the mums go to most of the stuff but the dad's hold the positions of power. Which I don't mind cause being the PTA head at primary school is a pain in the ass, involves a lot of days off work, and a lot of public speaking. I think its the fact that hub said, when I was PTA head of the kinder two years back, "you do this and then at primary school I'll have to do it cause it is always dad" that fucked me off.
Anyhoo, then it was lunch time. I had a ticket for a bento – as did every one else. They all had our names on them and mine said Takahashi – who was the person from our school who was meant to go today but who couldn't. I got told to just register as Takahashi but damn, my husband works in the education department. Even if I don't know who people are, the chances are that people from this area know me and know that my name isn't Takahashi- I'm not trying to sound presumptuous but it is just a fact of life when you are the only white person in a 50km radius. So I signed in as myself. Or rather, I said I was representing the elusive Takahashi-san, who I might add is a woman from the Philippines. Hmmmm. We could almost call ourselves an international school!
I found a friendly face, finally, to have lunch with. And then it was the afternoon section that involved two schools presenting their different um, presentations? The first school's theme was getting kids to help at home and whilst doing so spending more time with your child and deepening the 'bond'. It was kind of boring. I don't consider 'straightening your own shoes up' or 'taking your own plate to the sink' as 'helping'. It's your own shit. Do it, and no, if you are 8, I will not praise you for this kind of help. This is expected. If you do stuff above and beyond your own shit, like cleaning the bath, then yes. Thanks
The second presentation was on trying to increase communication between children and parents. It was quite interesting I guess. So much so that I only fell asleep and hit my head on the back of the chair once.

Writers' retreat
Sorry about that first blog - my daughter, Jessica, tried for over an hour to put photographs of me in at the beginning but was defeated by the software. We might try again later.
I have just come back from a three day retreat organised by "the other SAS" - the Scattered Authors Society. It was the third time we had used the small Elizabethan manor house in Oxfordshire for about 25 of us to get together in informal and more structured sessions and to have frre time to write, read each other's work or just chat.
We are fed very well there, with lots of fresh vegetables grown on site and cooked puddings so that even we eight or so veggies - a third of the total, you see - were sated. A high spot of the retreat was the trip to Buscot Park, where there is a splendid salon with Burne-Joneses on three walls, telling the story of Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty). Actually the only part it tells is the bit where everyone is asleep for a hundred years - bad place to be just after one of those substantial lunches.
One night we had ghost stories, complete with red velvet drapery and guttering candles in an iron candelabrum. another night we had an adult Good Read, with Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 100 Years of Solitude and Niccolo Ammaniti's I'm not Scared. At the childrfen's panel the day before we had Philip Reeves' Mortal Engines, Judy Blume's Tiger Eyes and Rosemary sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth. Blasts from the past these last two and talking about Judy Blume brought sadness that Paula Danziger had died a few days earlier. One of the great life-enhancing personalities of the children's book world.
But the news came through while we were away that Adele Geras had become a grandmother again with birth of Guy to her daughter Sophie Hannah.
The weather was not nice but every eveniung we watched the swifts circling in the sky, squawking. Some people did 5-minute reads from one of their books published or forthcoming. and we had sessions on Scriptwriting, Useful Things (kitchen timer, dog, coffee, switching off Minesweeper from the computer etc.), Promotion, Writing surgery, Writing for ourselves and MONEY (my topic).
We've already booked for next year - it is so refreshing, even if not as relaxing as it should be, because ideas circle round like swifts, squawking in one's brain long after those few days are past.

Diamond machining is a technique that uses single crystalline diamond tools to machine a small selection of materials to very high precision. Diamond machining is generally employed when individual features on the surface are less than 0.010" in any dimension, or when a high quality surface finish is required. Diamond machining offers surface finish characteristics that can generally not be achieved with traditional cutting tools, allowing for optical quality surface finishes of both microstructures and large components.
Often, diamond machining is used to generate an initial master mold for polymer components. The diamond machined master is machined to high fidelity, and then subsequently prepared for electroforming. During the electroforming process, a direct duplicate of the original diamond machined component is generated out of nickel, which is suitable for most casting and thermoforming processes. The working nickel electroform offers greater wear resistance, protecting the original machined components from the rigors of manufacturing. Multiple working electroforms may be generated from a single diamond machined master.
MLA uses an ultraprecision diamond machining platform to perform linear raster milling and vertical milling using single crystalline diamond tools. Typical application includes lenticular lens arrays, diamond machined light pipes, corner cube retroreflector arrays, and micro optical elements.
Materials that may be machined include:

Reading your replies I found . . .
. . . quite a few questions asking me "Is it true that you are pregnant?" though I had thought nobody would take their words for it!
Ninshin nante shite nailon. (I'm not pregnant at all)
Gyahahhh! I don't know why it makes me laugh this much! Guys who laughed your heads off reading my message yesterday, you're at the top of my "add-friends" list!! (lol)
Now, about the current state of me who's finished the last day of the concerts . . . I got the flu virus at the closing party of the concerts and brought it home, then 48 hours after that I was sick running a fever of 39.4C(102.9F).
Having nightmares like "my voice doesn't get well while the recording schedule is to be resumed soon with no delay" I concentrated on getting well as soon as possible, even just 12 hours sooner(I believe it's a matter of spiritual things!!); then I got on the plane and dived back into the a-little-hard recording right away after I recovered to the level that I wouldn't infect anyone.
Seems like, the high fever blew my memory of the concerts away! (lol)
A little while ago I tried to start writing and found myself completely at a loss for what to say . . . I really wanna write some for both the people who couldn't come to see me and who could . . . give me some days for it, please!
(It's somewhat irritating that I can't use smileys once I get used to the Ke-Tai(Cell Phone) Mail)

Already the city is observing a sort of berserk album release onslaught dubbed a musical harvest. But for months (almost years), The Visit has been working on their debut album to come out before the end of 2015. Tonight they celebrate the Oct. 9 release at the Mercury Lounge with Esmerine and Musk Ox.
Through Darkness Into Light is an album that folk lovers and experimental metalheads will love. It's dizzying and even exhilarating in most of its sound. Although it sports a glacial album cover, it only offers only a warm journey through dark chambers. There is nothing still or dead about these five songs, despite there being themes of decay and death all through them.
Is there a feeling of madness to it too? Oh yes, in spades. But brought forth not in haunting vocals or aggressive instrumentation, simply precise music. As recommended to me, this is a really well appreciated album on your best headphones or sound system. It's a methodical release, as comparable as any work that the cellist has completed in recent months. but there's an overwhelming feeling of new life and catharsis throughout.
The Visit is still the voice of Heather Sita Black matched to Raphael Weinroth-Browne's powerful cellist. After releasing videos and singles, and travelling far for their music last year, they still took their time coming out with a debut LP.
Just a minute and a half into "Through Darkness", the realization hits home that Black's voice is no longer simply an instrument. Her lyrics really tell a story that continues even after the final track, "Into Light". Although "Offering" still chants us down a violent path that hints of bloody sacrifice and there are still plenty of harmonic howls on "Into Light", but now there are sharper meanings connected to words we do understand. This is an epic tale woven into practiced string arrangements. "Without This Flesh" does not compromise or make a concession to invite a new listener in as the first track. It's 14:19 long and make a point of how beautiful this duo's music can be.
Tonight isn't the only Ottawa album release party this week but it's the only Ottawa New Music Creators concert of September and the first as part of the 2015-16 series. This year's run of ONMC events is curated by none other than Raphael himself, he who walks many paths with the help of his close collaborators. Tonight, at the Mercuriy Lounge, more than a few will intersect.

Again, 2014 was quite the year for music in Ottawa. We realize that it's next to impossible to say which album was better than the others, but we do have a list of the albums that seem to come up on our playlists more often. These are not the "winners" of the year but they are dear to our ears and we'd like to tip our hats to those that made them happen. Check out these sweet full-lengths and EPs, support these locals if you can, and enjoy the weather by putting these tunes in your pocket. Vive le six un trois!
Agalloch, a progressive black metal band from Portland, OR, roused the attendees of Maverick's into a mosh pit during their first show in the nation's capital. "I didn't know anyone had heard of us in Ottawa," said singer songwriter John Haughm. "It's good to see." He said this despite the fact his eyes were closed most of the time, even when wailing through some of the most skull-crushing riffs & thunderous drums. The lighting & dry ice matched their elemental influences well, reminding us that the best place to hear Agalloch is from a mountaintop.
On their The Serpent & the Sphere tour, the fourtet have birthed their fourth LP release as a beast with many backs. Definitely keeping to their prog-metal and neofolk, they also have heavy instrumental tracks and as close to rock as these guys can get. The intro to their show is an interlude on the new album, written & composed by Halifax-native but Ottawa's own Nathanaël Larochette. The rolling thunder and the lingering smell of incense created a good ambience, and the veteran metal band is no stranger to atmospheric sound: wavering guitar, matter-of-fact drums and the perfect amount of archaic verses can go a long way. This 19-year-old band is still pushing itself to create serious sounscapes, and with their latest album they've succeeded.
Jex Thoth was my first experience with doom/stoner metal. They're a quintet from Madison, WI who burned candles and incense throughout their set. The pungent aroma and the caped figure of Jessica Thoth at the helm brought a psychedelic atmosphere to the evening. They played pulsing songs like "To Bury" & "Son of Yule," with the help of a synth set on "organ" and the vocalist's voice wailing with power. Often I couldn't tell if it was the synth or her voice, and her pitch was perfect. Many new fans made, because most had Jex Thoth vinyls under their arms once they stopped playing. There's beauty in these tracks that could easily be rituals of the live wire music embodying a human host.
Local prog chamber folk group Musk Ox were stoked to be opening for Larochette's favourite band in Ottawa that night. They played two of the longer pieces from their new album Woodfall, with Raphael Weinroth-Browne making faces as he plugged his cello with authority and Evan Runge of Larochette's band Night Watch laid out the violin. I've never seen a cellist headbang before. Nine years ago, the leader of this group never thought he would be opening for his favourite band after he quit Carleton Univeristy to become a musician. "Whatever you want to do, just fucking do it," he urged us before the end of his set. In his case, following your heart gets you to exactly where you want to be, and there's something to be said for that.
Within the first five minutes of this album (maybe within the first two), I was taken away by the primal beast that is Musk Ox. It bears down on us all from far away, from a long time coming, and it will leaves its mark on us. The album Woodfall has finally been released two days ago to critical acclaim in most metal, neofolk & progressive chamber circles after a seven year wait from the debut self-titled album. The leader and classical guitarist Nathanaël Larochette birthed his first album with the help of Dean Watson at The Gallery Studio and a serious arsenal of classical & contemporary instruments. This guy puts the mental in multi-instrumentalist. The band has swelled and thinned over the years, but Larochette has remained the constant nurturer to his brainchild. Recently, he's been invited to arrange songs for Agalloch, with whom Musk Ox will be playing on July 3 at Maverick's.
The current members with Larochette are Raphael Weinroth-Browne on cello and Evan Runge on violin. Their synergy has allowed the sound to become more than the sum of the parts, which they've shared throughout North America & Europe. This beast has a progressive classical hand attached to a dark folk arm attached to a body that grew strong on metal and post-rock. It's eerily good at making you want to write ferociously, if you're into that sort of thing.
As I said, the beginning of the album grips you tightly. A Celtic expedition about to begin, more than likely into the pits of hell, and we are carried into the adventure throughout "Part 2 – Windswept." The moving violin and chamber-like guitar transport us on the wind and into distant lands. My favourite track, "Part 3 – Arcanum," was a friggin' album on its own (and not just because it's clocked at 17 minutes and 35 seconds). This hour-long exposition of raw talent was celebrated at the Mercury Lounge on June 6, 2014 to a lucky audience. Without having seen the show, I can tell you right now that I'll be at Maverick's for July 3. It seems to me that an album that can legitimately be described as an epic is something you should definitely see live. I will plan to be out of my wits with excitement and out of my head on the musk.

Crawling into high season
For a start, the high season in Phuket this year has been a little unusual. The usually dependable weather has not been itself, and is not even trying to be co-operative. Early mornings are cool and windy and we continue to have rain showers every evening while the days are cloudy and even a peak of the sun is brief. There are more than a few hundred thousand tourists in Phuket this season that have travelled a few thousand miles to enjoy the sun, sand and sea. Well, it looks like they will have to make do with only the sand and sea as the sun continues to play hide and seek.
Another difference is that the amount of Russian tourists has dwindled dramatically compared to the same time last year. The fall of the Russian ruble has obviously made a significant impact on the bitter-cold winter travelling plans of many of its citizens. The tour companies who solely cater to Russian tourists are now bemoaning their fate and are complaining that this high season might be a total washout for them. Surprisingly, they have not seemed to have learned or to have remembered the age-old lesson of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Pattaya's property market also seems to be the first to feel the ripple effects of the falling ruble. The Russian buyers who have bought property off-plan are now having extreme difficulties in meeting their monthly repayments. Cancellations of property bookings and forfeiture have also increased. As the ruble has dropped so dramatically, the repayments are now close to double of what they originally had to pay. Some developers have extended the loan period to assist their clients in the short term in the hope of holding on to the client but some clients have defaulted completely. In Phuket, we have heard of clients cancelling their booking and forfeiting the deposit for two-month holiday villa rentals while some clients, instead of staying the whole two-month period, just turn up just to stay for two weeks and leave. Both seaside resorts of Pattaya and Phuket will no doubt feel the swift effects of the falling ruble.
It's been a bumpy 2014 year all in all for Thailand and the hopes of a good high season may now be dampened both by tourist arrivals and the weather. According to the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the number of international arrivals till Oct 2014 has dropped 3% to 19.7 million from 21.6 million during the same period last year. It would probably be impossible to achieve the targets for 2014 set by the ministry in terms of arrivals & revenue.
However we are all hopeful that this year's high season could still be salvaged as it is still far from over and should the ruble recover then January and February could see Russians back as they celebrate the Russian Christmas on the 7th of January.

Trying to work the knees more and flow with everything, but I need to practice the knees in isolation and on pads (@shincheckin). Been working a lot more on lateral movement, and it's starting to pay off. I feel like my movement is getting better. As always, comments and critique welcomed.

In The Social Media Reader, Michael Mandiberg discusses the effect that the invention of new media forms have had on media consumers(1). Media consumers are no longer the passive audience for the professional to hock their wares to but rather they are now the active creators of their own media. This turnaround has put the professional into a new space one where they must adjust from their aloof position to one where they must engage with the media coming from the audience they one saw as a silent absorbing mass. The role of the professional is now one where they must communicate with these communities and encourage their participation on an equal playing field.
As the tools of production have become cheaper the gap between the amateur and the professional have closed. The amateur can now easily access online tutorials and educate themselves in various areas such as journalism or video production removing the methods of production from the "elite" figure of the professional. Michael Mandiberg points to the need for the professional to "engage" consumers through the building of communities and stresses the need for "real-time contact"(2) positioning themselves within as opposed to outside becoming one of "them" accepting the "strange" to this new world.
The creators of the "The Walking Dead" t.v. show quickly became aware of responding to the fan base in their need for inclusion on the progression of the show. The creation of the "The Talking Dead" a show about the show itself is a clear example of how the producers respond to the fans need to interact with the actors and people involved in the creation of the show.
It can be seen clearly from the opening credits of the show that the presenter, Chris Hardwick, encourages the viewer to contact the show to share their comments etc. in what Alison F. Slade calls an encouragement of the "technoprosocial" online engagement with the show (190). The emphasis of the show has been to extend social surrogacy to other mechanisms for interaction, namely Facebook, Twitter, Skype, telephone and its' own websites using the "second screen" provided by the internet via cell phones, tablets etc. to encourage fans to interact with each other in "real time" (Slade, 190).
A barely restrained Hardwick breathlessly opens the show with the number to dial etc. positioning himself as a fan as excited for the latest news and gossip as those at home part of the fan culture himself and one with those sharing the "conversation" and blurring the line between the presenter and the consumer. The fans can thus identify with him and be part of "their" show (Slade 191).
The show creates competitions for the fans where they can win a walk on part on the show as "zombies", competitions they can only enter online with the winning entrants judged by the shows' producers bringing the fan directly into the show and sharing the professionals' world in what Kevin Roberts refers to as "lovemarks" (qtd. Hills, 185). Roberts suggests that these are aspects of the professional's labour which belong to the consumer because they love them (Hills. 185).
This example highlights how the role of the professional has changed as a result of digital media. The professional now recognises the agency of the consumer and encourages their active engagement with the show. By interacting with the consumers the professional partners up with them to create the success of the show. In communicating with them and treating them as part of the process and encouraging their "real time" participation they give the amateur an outlet to feel part of the world the show is creating.

Romans 10:14-15The logic is simple. Humanly speaking if no one shares the gospel then no one new will hear the gospel and no one will be able to believe the gospel. Therefore no one will become a Christian.
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
But if God is sovereign and he has chosen who he will save, it doesn't matter if we share the gospel does it?
To that I say go read Mark 7:9-13. We can't use one part of God's word to ignore another. We need to either accept the whole thing or ignore it.
Why then do we have to share the gospel?
- God tells us to. Who are we to ignore God's word? We aren't saved by what we do, but if we are saved then we need to obey God out of love and he tells us to share the gospel (Matthew 28:18-20).
- God chooses to use us. It is a blessing to be able to serve God and to be a part of his plan. If we refuse he can always raise up another like he did with Barak in Judges and with Moses in Exodus.
- God usually works through normal, not supernatural means. He can save people without anyone sharing the gospel with them, but he chooses to use his people to share his word. Isaiah 55:9: "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my [his] ways higher than your ways and [his] thoughts than your thoughts"
- If no one had shared the gospel then (humanly speaking) we wouldn't have become Christians. If that was the care you and I would still be wallowing in our sin and headed for God's wrath eternally. How can we be so selfish as to not offer God's salvation to others?
Don't get me wrong, this is something that I really struggle to do. I find it awkward and I chicken out most of the time. But that doesn't mean that I'm right to do so. God's been challenging me more and more on this and it is something that we all need to be doing - lovingly and graciously, but firmly and honestly as well.
I hope that was helpful!
God Bless!

Bartosz HernasMaker@bartoszhernas · Founder of Ahoy.io & FreeYourMusic.com
Thank you Marc for posting! As a founder of STAMP I will be happy to answer any questions :)
Joshua Dance@joshdance · Engineer, Product, athlete, indie hacker
@bartoszhernas How is this different than http://movetoapple.com/?
@joshdance @bartoszhernas We support both platforms Windows & Mac. You can see that we have much more music streaming services integrated. Stamp was chosen by Rdio as one of the main exporting tool (http://www.rdio.com/farewell/ins... you can see it here). :) Also, we were first one to offer import to Apple Music, after our success there were many copy-cats (one of them Move to Apple). And at last, we do not break any licenses and operate in legal way. As I understood Rdio Legal Team that we contacted, what Move to Apple is doing is illegal (using their API and selling app with it). I would say that we also we have more features in the app (exporting failed songs at least) and much better support. Import from Deezer coming really soon, then probably YouTube :) BTW. I almost forgot, our import to Apple Music is faster ;)
Martin Svanberg@martin_svanberg · Software Engineer, Contractor
Cool! This is one major reason why people won't switch streaming providers. Have you met any resistance from these companies? I imagine they're not too keen on having their services commoditized. I think the next barrier to cross is making it easier to share music between users of different services, i.e. if I use Spotify and my friend uses Apple Music, how can I share a playlist?
@martin_svanberg Thankfully Spotify has cool terms of services, that only disables making money on streaming music, but you can use their content. :) With Rdio, we made a trick at beginning, that we have created Free Rdio Exporter as webpage, where you could export file in .rstamp format. (simple json inside) Then you could take this file and import it using Stamp. This way we did not break any licenses or ToS'es :) Problem is at the moment when you want to import something. Spotify allows it. Google Music and Apple don't have public API, so we use reverse engineering to track their private API and we use these ones. Only risk here is that user that used Stamp, could be blocked by GM or Apple, however risk is really small here. About sharing users playlists, it could be done with Spotify or Google Music as API could work on our backend systems. Problematic is Apple Music, where our app fakes being iTunes. We have an idea though, but not so much time. We have contacted Deezer right now, as they say they are some options for commercial usage of their API, lets see what they can offer. :) Pandora has unofficial API, so the same case as GM or Apple Music.
Marc SeitzHunter@mfts0 · CTO at @Hackerbay
Stamp is back with its fourth edition. A lot has changed since their launch 6 months ago (https://www.producthunt.com/tech... So originally named S.t.A.M.P. (from "Spotify to Apple Music Playlists") has expanded to help everyone leaving Rdio to protect their precious collections. Also Stamp now transfers your Google Music songs to Apple Music 😽. They've included fail-overs protections, so that you don't lose songs that failed to import and much more. Stamp has already been responsible for 70k+ of Apple Music's 10 million happy users. See what Stamp can do for YOU. Stamp is the best tool to LIBERATE your music! Easily port your songs/playlists/collections from one service to another. Don't be a square and use just *one* service: Apple Music, Spotify, Google Music, Rdio. I bet the guys behind this amazing app have a lot more to say and answer any questions you may have. P.s. Have you got your raps on mp3, so Stamp can transfer them from Spotify to Apple, @eriktorenberg ;)
Hey Product hunters :) Thanks to you we have been able to improve app a lot, add many different services, fix bugs and add new features. Past 6 months have been crazy for us. We had problems with payment providers (basically Braintree abandoned us), we were fixing bugs every day, adding new features and promoting it everywhere we could. At one point we had to change whole engine for importing to Apple Music, we fought with Spotify API limits and we talked with Rdio about them shutting down. Rdio was awesome and picked us as one of the promoted app to transfer all your library on Rdio.com :) It gave us a little bit more sales than we expected. :P For past weeks, we have been working on new branding as well as on adding Google Music to our app. Next step is export FROM Apple Music and integration with Deezer & Pandora. If you have any suggestions, please share them! We are open for users feedback a lot. (thats why you see Google Music implementation ;) )
mr zaidowicz@dowicz · graphic designer
I think the premium version is too expensive. Why?
BlockChain Daily@aule3031 · NEWS + BUSINESS = BLOCKCHAIN DAILY !!
@dowicz Yes, STAMP's premium is very costly and with less updates, Try Musconv. It is less costly than STAMP.

Sonny MaynardAdministrator/Coach • Inducted 1992
Few men have had as great an impact on amateur baseball as Sonny Maynard, who directed the Cavaliers baseball program to the forefront of collegiate baseball in not only the Jayhawk Conference, but nationwide. The first coach in JCCC baseball history, Maynard logged 504 victories in 14 years as the Cavaliers skipper, an average of 36 wins per season. Five of his 14 seasons he led JCCC to 40 or more wins, including a school record 48 in 1985. He finished with a career-winning percentage of .741, and never finished with a percentage below .600. Maynard also piled up championships, amassing seven East Jayhawk Conference titles, four Eastern Sub-Region titles, three Region VI titles and five national rankings. Nineteen of his players were drafted by professional baseball teams, and he tutored five All-Americans and 36 All-Region VI performers. In the summer of 1980, Maynard was selected by the United States Baseball Federation as one of the coaches for the Japan-USA All Star Series. The USA team lost the first game, but won six straight for the championship.
Maynard stepped in to run the women's basketball program in 1986, and generated the largest turnaround in Jayhawk Conference history. He took a team that went 0-26 prior to his arrival to 22-10 and a second-place finish in the conference. His second year he led JCCC to school record 25-7 and another runner-up finish in the conference. He also coached All-American Lisa Kirby, one of the top scorers in NJCAA history, and All-American Melissa Grider. After the 1988 season he stepped down, but returned for the 1991-92 campaign. In all, Maynard coached six all-region and 10 all-conference performers and two All-Americans while posting a .728 winning percentage.

My first attempt at a UIU tale. Feedback welcome. Here's the link and it is the first tab. Thanks in advance!
It's okay, but the ending feels kind of eh. Also, I don't see why an FBI member would need grenades other than flashbangs, but that's just me.
Also… since this is technically an object and not a phenomenon, wouldn't this be a Cart and not a Can?
Hmm…I suppose it would. Whoops! Any suggestions for bulking up the ending?
I would cut the "I would call that a successful day for the UIU" part. It sounds really forced.
Overall, the story moved fluidly and nothing bad stood out too much. Pretty good, I daresay.
Dialogue feels stilted; I got the feeling that the ending was rushed…what happened to the Cart? Does it have a morbid fear of water? Did a SCP team move in? or…? And heavy weaponary doesn't sound like something an underfunded part of the FBI would be allowed to walk around with
Noted on all counts. Any specific points of stilted dialogue?
There's no specific example I can find, some parts, especially the beginning when Aaron's throwing around orders, feel awkward. Just a tiny bit, understand.
And not sure if this is a nitpick or not, but here you go: the gross incompetence of the team seems so… lolUIU. Like lolfoundation, but UIU. They're just so bad one wonders how they got hired in the first place.
The UIU has on occasion been referred to as the place where people who haven't screwed up badly enough for dismissal but badly enough for a major demotion are placed. They all USED to be competent. They just aren't anymore. Except for Jay, who is on the verge of giving up trying, which is sort of what the rest of them have already done.
Okay made some changes added a bit more to make the end seem not so rushed. Wasn't sure what to do about dialogue however because I'm not totally sure where the problem was. Any takers on a review?
Respectfully bumping this thread since more people are online now than they were at the original time.
Please don't bump threads; we try to discourage that so we don't get spam buildup. :)
The forums tend to move rather slowly, and it can take up to a week to get multiple reviews. If you haven't already, I'd recommend trying the IRC chatroom for real-time feedback. Alternatively, you can message a staff member and ask them to direct chat attention to your thread.
Sorry! Saw it done earlier and didn't realize it was a thing not to do. My bad Zyn. Thank for letting me know!
your writing must be anomalous…the more I read it, the less problematic the dialogue seems. Hmm. But I like the new ending.
Well thank you! I appreciate it. Just out of curiosity…do you think I should post this and see how it fares? I've gotten more positives than negatives…
Hey, I got neutral responses on both of my articles that are up. One is at +35 and one is at +107. Go for it.

Why is this in the Anarchism section? Sure some hacklabs are anarchist but there are probably more that aren't. I don't see the need to put an idealogical brand on them.
Good point, removed. W1tchkr4ft 00 (talk) 03:21, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
hacklab == hackerspace[edit]
I've never heard or read anything implying that there is an ideological difference between the terms hackerspace and hacklab. The hackerspace I attend has been referred to both as Abbenay hackspace and Abbenay hacklab, based on personal preferrence. While we certainly fit the bill for the sort of space described here, I have never seen these described as anything else than synonyms. Merge. - Anarkitekt (talk) 03:30, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
I concur; merge. - cayden (talk) 18:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- I'd support a merge. I haven't been able to find any sources that draw a distinction between hacklabs and hackerspaces. I've moved some content over to hackerspace and will redirect this page there. Gobonobo T C 13:26, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
