I believe California can do better than Proposition 64. California deserves better. While I hope that California eventually legalizes marijuana (cannabis) for recreational use, 2016 is not the right year for the conversation and Proposition 64 is not the right initiative.
It may seem surprising that a 7-year locally-compliant cannabis dispensary operator would oppose an initiative to legalize cannabis. However, I am not just a cannabis industry operator; I am also a small business owner, a civil servant and policy analyst. From these perspectives, my view on the issue of cannabis legalization is different than many might expect. I am in support of eventually legalizing cannabis for adult-use in California as, in general, I think doing so can be good policy. However, I do not support legalization unconditionally.
Legalization is more than an economic issue, more than a social justice issue, and is about more than just ending prohibition. Legalization should be about good public policy for California as a whole. As such, the details matter tremendously, especially when it comes to something as complex and multi-faceted as cannabis.
Based on industry data from the states where recreational use is legal, my dispensary would make significantly more money than it does today if Proposition 64 passes. However, for me, personal financial gains do not justify voting for poor public policy.
While my list of concerns and issues with Proposition 64 is as lengthy and complicated as the 60-plus page initiative itself, there are two points in the initiative and subsequent questions that Californians should consider before they vote. These points are advertising and the definition, "unreasonably impracticable."
The proponents of Prop. 64 claim that the initiative protects our kids by not allowing direct marketing to children. In fact, the language expressly states that advertising cannabis will only be allowed where 71.6 percent of the audience is 21 years of age or older. While this may appear to be a robust protection, the reality is that this statistic translates to allowing cannabis advertising on 80 percent to 90 percent of network and cable television programming. In fact, in a superior court, a judge just ruled that the initiative could do exactly that. Will this language also lead to ads promoting cannabis smoking on television? Consequently, one has to wonder whether or not this language exists to truly protect our children or is intended as a marketing strategy? Does this language protect children or does it secure advertising rights for prospective cannabis businesses?
In 2015 the California Legislature enacted the most comprehensive medical marijuana regulatory structure in the country. We are now in the process of creating the rules under which California's medical market will operate statewide. The initiative purports to build on this regulatory framework. Yet, in the initiative language we find a phrase that does not exist anywhere else in statute: "unreasonably impracticable." This new, possibly precedent-setting concept could allow an individual or business to circumvent regulations if such regulations are deemed too costly or otherwise burdensome. For an industry that has not been regulated in 20 years, this could mean that potentially all regulatory requirements, including taxation, could be deemed unreasonably impracticable! This new concept added to the initiative feels like a broad-spectrum loophole to keep some from following the same rules other businesses have to comply with.
Is this initiative really about ending prohibition and increasing social justice or is it atually a business and marketing plan that paves the way for large corporate interests to enter the California market at the expense of many stakeholder groups and with potentially very little regulation?
Proposition 64 creates more problems than it solves. I cannot support an initiative that adds more confusion and contradiction to an industry still struggling to emerge from the shadows and which undermines thousands of hours of collaborative work by the Legislature and a variety of stakeholder groups.
Proposition 64 will be a gold mine for the hundreds of attorneys required to sift through the quagmire of contradictory medical and recreational regulations, definitions like "unreasonably impracticable," and the standing of a ballot initiative to override local governmental control.
I believe California can do better than Proposition 64. California deserves better. While I hope that California eventually legalized cannabis for recreational use, 2016 is not the time for the conversation and Proposition 64 is not the right initiative.

The digital phenomenon of viral videos has completely altered how we interact, share, and voice our opinion on social media. Grandma used to email funny pictures to all her grandkids. Now her favorite past time is sharing videos that mock this year's presidential candidates – all for your friends and family to see. In the mass of World Star videos, Tasty food recipes, and Go-Pro vacation cuts, human interest stories that uplift and bring awareness to causes are some of the most widely shared and talked about videos on the internet. Why is this? When we can "all relate" or empathize with a story, when it causes us to look inward and start a discussion – this is what a powerful film is all about. Jason Y. Lee is the founder and executive director of the Jubilee Project. Along with his brother Eddie and best friend Eric, they set out to combine their passion for philanthropy to tell stories that, as Jason put it, were "close to our hearts." Although Eddie and Eric are no longer active on the Jubilee Project, Jason and his crew continue to make videos that inspire and humor people of all ages.
VAVA: Jason thanks for speaking with us today! Of course the work you're doing today with the Jubilee Project is simply amazing. What impact, if any, did your upbringing as a Korean-American in Kansas have in shaping your films and organization as a whole?
Jason: As a Korean-American or even as an Asian-American, there wasn't a lot of diversity in Kansas. There was however a small church community and I grew up in a nice, safe suburban neighborhood. Honestly I can't complain. My faith and my parents taught me from a very young age that we should always be giving back to the community. When my brother and I were kids we'd volunteer at the library or give out cookies during Thanksgiving – this was all super normal to us. I think because I've spent a lot of time and energy into loving others, that my life was always steering me into creating something like the Jubilee Project.
V: How did you start the Jubilee Project with the other founders and have your stories always been human interest related?
J: I started the Jubilee Project with my brother and one of my best friends Eric. It really started as a hobby, we were making videos for fun on the side (Jason comes from a business background) – we just wanted to do it because frankly it was something we enjoyed. The more we did it, the bigger it got and it's become something much larger than any of us had expected.
Our projects are usually a mix of stories but we choose what's close to our hearts. Usually our stories are human justice projects, education based, or involve global health. To be honest there wasn't really a rhyme or reason for these projects except for the fact that we were interested.
#IAmComfortableBecause campaign collaboration with iNature Skincare
NBC Asian America collaboration on #BlackLivesMatter
V: What has been your most notable project to work on?
J: Love Language was one of our first viral films and then we did a couple films with Jeremy Lin which was a lot of fun. Now we're doing a lot more non-fiction docu-series style films versus narrative fiction.
V: Speaking of Mr. Linsanity , how did the Jubilee Project and Jeremy Lin link up for a collaboration?
J: Actually, Eddie and Eric went to undergrad with Jeremy Lin so we met him before he was the "NBA" Jeremy Lin. He's got a great personality so it has been awesome working with him.
V: Did anything funny or interesting ever happen on set?
J: Well when we did The Last Pick with Jeremy Lin, there's an opening scene where he's running through his Palo Alto neighborhood. We were a small crew but somehow word got out that we were filming something with Jeremy and all these neighbors and kids stood outside their houses to watch. We could only do one take so it was kinda funny to shoot.
V: What role does music and sound play in your projects?
J: Music is essential for telling a great story. Even if you have the perfect story, the perfect cast, and the perfect acting – you need music to enhance the experience and your feelings. So, we tend to use music a lot based on how we feel and what we want to say in the film. Music is an awesome tool we have to tell a better story.
The Jubilee Project is an awesome organization, but what's Jason doing on his off time?
V: What are some of your favorite types of movies?

'Women's Christmas' illuminations shine a light on Irish heroines of the past
As the Christmas lights go out and decorations are packed away for another year, it's a gloomy week for festive souls.
But if you're still looking for a reason to raise a glass this weekend, an old Irish celebration known as Nollaig na mBan, or 'Women's Christmas', could give you just the excuse you need.
In the Christian calendar, the Feast of the Epiphany on 6 January is viewed as the last day of Christmas - marking the revelation of God as human in Jesus Christ.
It was also, historically, a day when weary Irish women were freed from domestic Christmas chores to enjoy the festive leftovers with their female friends and neighbours.
Nollaig na mBan has been reclaimed by a cultural movement, using it as an opportunity to pay homage to their female ancestors.
'Illuminate Herstory' was thought up by former advertising and marketing executive Melanie Lynch.
Melanie explained that the light projection festival will illuminate towns and cities across Northern Ireland and the Republic with images of women as the last of the Christmas lights go out.
"From the shadows into the light, we want to share women's stories from families and communities and resurrect tales of lost national heroines and women admired around the world," she told BBC News NI.
"We want to light up homes, town squares, theatres, museums and iconic buildings."
The festival also incorporates music, comedy, theatre, fashion, dance, photography, poetry, fine art and film.
"It doesn't have to be complicated - every classroom and boardroom have projectors, most towns have at least one outdoor projector, and in our homes there are great family photographs.
"The national archives have incredible images of women too. So we're appealing to community groups and wider, national organisations, to get involved by organising an event that can be big or small.
"You can arrange storytellers, performers and 'herstorians' as we're calling them, or just keep it simple and host a small gathering of friends and family."
The objective, she says, is to start an annual event that inspires the world to celebrate women.
The Palace Street Offices on Dame Street in the heart of Dublin are already lit up with images of six iconic Irish women to launch the event.
Aviatrix Lady Mary Heath, astronomer Agnes Clerke, Queen of Paraguay Eliza Lynch, St. Brigid, Gormlaith 'High Queen of Ireland' and renowned computer programmer Kay McNulty are all depicted in the exhibit.
"But Illuminate Herstory doesn't stop in Ireland," said Melanie.
"Irish Diaspora networks have already sent the invitation to participate around the world. We've been told that Manger Square in Bethlehem is going to be lit up with images of Irish women at the weekend, which will be incredible if it happens."
She said the interest in the event was particularly keen in Northern Ireland.
"The north is just so full of inspirational women, women who sacrificed so much for the peace process and beyond, so we're delighted towns and cities across Northern Ireland have got involved."
In Fermanagh, Enniskillen Castle and the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh will be lit up in a purple hue until Sunday to mark the event.
In Belfast, the WANDA feminist group will be driving around the city in a campervan on Sunday night from 19:00 GMT projecting images of female filmmakers onto walls, and Carnmoney in County Antrim will be illuminated in memory of aviator Lilian Bland.
But unsung heroines are just as important, said Melanie.
"The Irish are known as great storytellers but until now, we've only told half the story. As well as the great artists, aviators, astronomers and politicians, we want to hear about the mothers and mavericks and wives and women who were never celebrated before.
"We want to start the year with a bit of optimism and hope and it's really easy to get involved and pay tribute to the women you love."

You can imagine why. However, an underlying reason was that I sang that song, at least the first verse, to Kenley every day in the shower while I was pregnant. Every single day. It just made me happy, soaping up my belly and belting it out to my little girl. Mike liked to try to sneak in with his iphone and record me in all of my off-key glory because he thought it was hilarious. So, this song reminds me of a joyful and innocent time. But now, it is as if that second verse has been added to my life now. And the song means something completely different. It is a song of what I have lost.
After pulling myself together this afternoon, I pulled out my ipad. I downloaded a pretty version of this song and I coordinated it with some photos to create a movie. I used photos from the beginning of the pregnancy all the way through to last week. Throughout the entire process of creating it, I cried. It actually felt wonderful to do so. A cleansing of sorts, I suppose. And now, I am sharing it with you. Fair Warning: You will likely also cry.

Chapter OneTIME TO GO
How did it come to this? It's 2:20 in the morning on March 19, 2003, a beautiful balmy night. I stood alone on a seventh floor balcony of Washington's historic Hay Adams Hotel. Gazing across Lafayette Park I can see the darkened White House, the Washington Monument looming majestically behind it. My eyes welled with tears.
At this very moment tens of thousands of U.S. troops were engaged in the ballyhooed "shock and awe" bombing attacks and troop invasion of Iraq, sent there by President George W. Bush to annihilate Saddam Hussein and "liberate" the Iraqi people. I was weeping about the start of another war, and I was weeping for myself.
Although a Senior Correspondent and longtime Weekend News Anchor, ABC News assigned me to watch the White House from nine at night until nine the next morning. My assignment was to call the news desk and tell everybody if terrorists blew up the White House. It was a job, no doubt, one of our youngest and most inexperienced desk assistants could have managed, and I had to beg for this assignment.
At the time I had been a broadcast journalist for thirty-seven years; the last fifteen spent anchoring ABC's World News Tonight Saturday and Sunday, while still covering stories for other news programs. I was the first African American woman to anchor an evening newscast for one of the major television networks. And I had a big following. I received virtually every award presented to journalists and African Americans for professional excellence. I had spent the past twenty years being an outspoken advocate for diversity in the nation's newsrooms, with particular emphasis on women, and people of color.
But why was I here, now? On this night, on that balcony I suspected that I was given such a lowly assignment because I had become a nobody. Everybody says I don't look or act my age, but I am among Americans in the least desirable demographic for television advertisers: over fifty-four. Add my color and sex, and apparently, no matter how good I may look, how good I feel, how enthusiastic I am about the news, my star had fallen.
It seemed to me that I was now dispensable. ABC's planning of the Iraqi war coverage took six months. As our military forces were building up in the Middle East, our producers, anchors, and correspondents were receiving their assignments. Not only was there none for me, the executives decided I couldn't even handle anchoring my Sunday night show during our important war coverage. When I demanded an official explanation, I was told that the executives wanted to try out some of the newer correspondents to see if—in five to ten years-they could become credible anchors.
But the scuttlebutt was I was no longer good enough to "go live." Since when? A person who has spent her life in front of cameras, microphones, and live audiences, is all of sudden no longer capable?
So, for the first ten days of one of the biggest news stories in recent history, I had nothing to do. It seemed all the other correspondents and anchors were assigned to some special show, some special story, some special event, or some prime time documentary. But not the only African American anchor.
During those early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I reported for work everyday seething. I watched all the coverage and read everything in the newspapers and magazines, thinking that, at least if I were ever needed, I would be prepared. All my "boning up" was for naught. There was never an urgent call or email saying, "Carole, we need you to do ..."
It was during that dark hour, on the balcony of the Hay Adams, that I decided I could not, would not, allow anyone to insult my work. Despite the years of struggle to prove myself as good as a white man, white woman, or black man, I surrendered. I was tired of fighting. It was time to leave a career that I loved. The triple pressures of being, female, black and older-had finally taken their toll.
Chapter TwoBECOMING ME
I don't know for sure when I was born. My birth certificate says December 7, 1940. But my mother told me she was in labor with me when news of the Japanese aerial attacks on U.S. Navy ships moored in Pearl Harbor, blared from the radio striking much more fear in her than my impending Caesarean birth. One of my aunts was with her and swears she heard the same alarming reports from the hallways of St. Luke's hospital in Chicago. In all the excitement, were the nurses so nervous they put down the wrong year on birth record? I would like to think so.
I always preferred the Pearl Harbor date. It made me a year younger and I would have been born on the day President Franklin Delano Roosevelt called, "a day that will live in infamy." I always had a flair for the dramatic. But that official 1940 birth certificate date follows me. I always want to correct it with, "Hey, I was really born in 1941."
Although I took my first breath in Chicago, I always felt that my roots sprang from the South. My mother, Doretha Viola Wilbon, was born in the small rural town of Washington, Georgia. Her father was a white man, one of the sons of the richest man in town, Pembroke Pope. When my grandfather, Frank Wilbon, was sixteen years old, he fell in love with a young black girl, named Hilda Stalnaker. She was only twelve. Frank had seen her playing jump rope and ball in her front yard. One day he got up the courage to stop at her house to ask her father if he could court his daughter. My great grandfather must have been astonished. The son of the richest white man in town wanted to court Hilda? He told Frank that Hilda was a little too young to be courting, and suggested he wait until she was older, maybe in three years. Frank agreed. Over the years he would steal peeks of her around her house and waited.
No Negro girl was courted by a white man in the 1880's. If a man wanted to have anything to do with a black girl, he just had his way with her, and a black father better not complain.
When Hilda was fifteen Frank came "a'callin'". My white grandfather followed the etiquette expected of a proper young gentleman of his time. After a year of visiting in the front parlor and sitting outdoors on the big porch swing, he asked Hilda's father for her hand in marriage. My great grandfather gave his blessing. Once Frank had taken a black woman for his wife, unheard of in that place and at that time, he was treated as a black man for the rest of his life. To see his own father, he had to go to the back door with his hat in his hand.
My mother, Doretha, was the eldest of Frank's eight children. Hilda died in childbirth at age twenty-nine and little Doretha was only nine years old. She had to become the "woman of the house," caring for her little brothers and sisters, cleaning and cooking for Poppa and the family. She always regretted that she didn't have her mother in her growing up years. She had no one she could ask questions or who could teach her things. Her childhood was cut short with no time for fun and play. When my mother was twelve, Poppa realized Doretha couldn't handle the increasingly difficult job that had fallen to her, so he took a new wife, another black woman, Eva Hayes. Together they had thirteen more children. That's a total of twenty-one children that Poppa sired. Between the two sets of siblings, there was never any distinction made between half-brothers or whole sisters. They were all Poppa's children and my mother, as the eldest, became the matriarch to them all.
My grandfather owned 160 acres of land deeded to him by his father when he was a boy. Like other farmers of his day he wanted lots of children to help him in the fields. He had cows, pigs, a horse and a mule, chickens, cotton and vegetable crops. He was also a Baptist preacher, who had a circuit of four small black churches around Wilkes County.
Every Sunday he would drive his horse miles from home to minister to one of his various flocks. He was one of those "hell and brimstone" preachers, too. He would jump and shout in the pulpits of the tiny, white frame churches, until he got red in the face and had to pull out his big white handkerchief to wipe the sweat that glistened around his whole face. As a little girl I watched him baptize people in small creeks, pushing each nervous man, woman and child face up under the muddy water for a few seconds, and then pulling them up dripping wet and shouting for joy. He told the family: "I leave some of 'em underwater a little longer than necessary, 'cause it scares the love of Jesus into 'em. And some of these sinful folks really need to "love them some Jesus." Poppa sounded just like a black preacher.
Once Mama Eva took over the household, my mother was able to go to school, but she didn't get past the ninth grade. Photographs of her at thirteen show that she was already beautiful, with dark brown hair so long she could sit on the ends of it. One day one of the white men in town told my grandfather he wanted her, and he said if he didn't turn her over to him, he would take her. Poppa said, "Over my dead body."
Poppa was an incredible shot. My uncles say he could shoot a rabbit running toward him right between the eyes. He got out his best rifle and sat at the door of his house all day and all night waiting for that white man to show up. He had arranged to put my mother on the next morning's train to Chicago, to live with his white half brother, John, and his black wife, Rosa, in Kankakee, Illinois. Poppa would later say it was one of the hardest days of his life, sending his oldest daughter away so quickly and for such a hateful reason. My mother had to work on Uncle John's farm to pay for her keep, so there was no more school for her. A couple of years later she and her uncle and aunt kept the farm but moved from the country to the big city, Chicago.
After they got settled, Aunt Rosa took my mother to Mr. Stephen Simpson's Barber Shop to get her cut. My great aunt thought Doretha's hair attracted way too much attention from men, who were always leering at the young teenage girl. It certainly got the attention of a handsome shoeshine boy in the shop, who would become my father. He and my mother stole glances at each other. Daddy would later say that the moment he saw my mother he vowed to make her his wife.
That shoeshine boy was the barber's son, Lytle. He was born in 1905 in Terre Haute, Indiana, to Stephen, who was born a slave, and Amanda, a Cherokee Indian. He was the youngest of five children. Life was not easy. In the early 1900's, Indiana may as well have been in the Deep South. Negroes lived on the other side of the tracks.
Before he became a barber, Stephen Simpson was a county circuit schoolteacher who taught colored children for a week at a time in one- room schoolhouses in rural Indiana. The work paid little and he felt he spent too much time away from his wife and children. During the first great migration of blacks from the South, 1910 to 1930, Stephen Simpson moved his family to Chicago. With the little money he saved from teaching, my grandfather opened a barbershop. And his youngest child, Lytle, went to the shop after school and on weekends to shine shoes.
My father was a gifted artist. He wanted to become an architect, but his father said there was no money for him to go to college and besides, "No Negro's going to be allowed to design buildings and houses. You need to get a real job, a government job." For many lucky black men, that meant the U.S. Post Office.
While waiting for a postal job to open up, my teenage father painted signs for food specials at a nearby High 'n' Low supermarket. "Roast Beef, 15 cents a pound." "Pound of butter, 5 cents." He enjoyed it. Even though his hand-painted signs weren't the landscapes and portraits he longed to paint, he could point to his work in a store window. His dreams of becoming an architect were never realized. But he continued to sketch and paint throughout his life and even took art lessons when he was in his 70's. We treasure his paintings, which are still hanging on the walls of several family members' homes.
A letter carrier job opened up and soon Daddy was getting up at 3:30 in the morning working at the U.S. Postal Service. In 1926, Doretha was seventeen when she married 21-year-old Lytle. Poppa was proud because his daughter married a man with a "government job." The young couple settled into a small apartment on Chicago's Southside and began a life together that would last forty-seven years, producing two daughters, my sister Jacquelyn, nine years older, and me. My parents' first child, who would have been called Peter, was stillborn.
My folks were God-fearin', church-goin', hard-workin', no drinkin', no smokin', and no swearin', working class people, who instilled in Jackie and me, the desire to be successful, college-educated black women. They succeeded. My sister finished Northwestern University with a degree in Voice and I earned my degree from the University of Michigan in Journalism.
I believe one influential person shapes every human being for ill or good. In my case, it was "Mama." She died of lung cancer when she was sixty-four years old. Too young, too soon, too painfully. But she gave me self-confidence, strength, gumption, faith and a desire to be the best. What would I have been without her?
She was a simple housewife raising two daughters in a small Chicago apartment. My father also had a business with his brother-in-law installing and servicing radios in hotels (twenty-five cents for an hour's worth of music), and he managed a three-flat apartment building he and my mother saved every extra nickel to buy. Mama had three jobs, too: running the house, working at the apartment building, but mainly sewing for white and well-to-do black women. She often worked into the wee hours of the morning sewing for someone who just had to "have this dress by tomorrow, please?"
Mama was a talented dressmaker and fashion designer. She made her own patterns, and could tailor men's suits. If something wasn't exactly right on a garment, she would rip it up and start all over. "Anything worth doing is worth doing well," I overheard her say to herself again and again.
As a pre-school child I still have memories of lying on the floor beside her old Singer sewing machine, with paper, pencils and crayons. To the incessant sounds of the clackety-clack of her foot pedal and the punches of the needle through fabric, she taught me the alphabet, numbers, colors and the names of animals. I remember she had one eye on her sewing and the other on what I was doing. "Carole, show me your work," she'd say.
By the time I entered kindergarten I was the only kid who could count to a hundred, say my ABC's, and print my full name. That was almost unheard of in my neighborhood.
This must seem so quaint in this day of Leap Frog, and Baby Einstein products. She was an excellent teacher given her pitiable education. Once I started going to school, she could no longer help me with arithmetic and English. She made it clear that school was my work and I would have to conquer it by myself. That's what I had to do. I skipped a grade in my public elementary school and my teachers recommended me to the University of Chicago Laboratory School, one of the most prestigious private schools in the city. I was accepted, but my parents couldn't afford the tuition even with the school's financial aid. Mama always regretted her inability to send me to that school. But when I had a similar opportunity, I could afford it and I sent my own daughter to the Lab School. That was one for you, Mama.
I grew up doing the usual chores of washing dishes, emptying trash, and cleaning my room. But because she had to work so hard, my mother laid more housework on me. At age twelve I was cooking dinner, setting the table, and washing the dishes, so Mama could continue sewing. She also made me get on my hand sand knees to scrub the kitchen and bathroom floors two times a week. On Saturdays, I had to do work in the apartment building my parents purchased. I had to polish all the wood in the three-story building, the floors, stairs, and front doors. If I was real fast, I could meet my friends at noon at the Tivoli Theater to watch the afternoon cartoon festival.
One day I made the mistake of asking my mother why I had to do so much more work at home than my friends.
"I don't want to hear anything about them other kids. What happens in their house is not your business. Your business is in this house." I cringed in anticipation of a slap across my face. Mama could be hard sometimes. "You are my child and you will do what I say," she said sharply. "You're going to learn everything I teach you. Just because you're smart in school, you're still gonna know how to cook, iron, clean, and how to squeeze a quarter out of a dime."
She would get right up in my face. "I want you to be somebody special and high. But if you end up being a washerwoman, you're going to be the best washerwoman there is."

Thanks to Carole Simpson the glass ceiling was broken, but there has not been many women through the door to take the Anchor chair, particularly African American women. Thanks Carole, We are so proud of you, as a woman and history making African- American. You handled your yourself as a professional at all times.
One of the best auto-biographies I've ever read. Engaging and provocative. You won't regret the investment. A must read!
What a terrific book! Carole Simpson has led an extraordinary life and this autobiography provides a vivid portrayal of the many challenges she faced and how she overcame them. She doesn't mince words and clearly identifies many of the organizations and individuals who not only tried to hold her back but are partly responsible for the decline of broadcast media in the US. Ms. Simpson does all this with a surprising level of warmth, kindness, and humor. Carole has clearly been an inspiration to many and this book shows why.

Discovered how to embed the vimeo link, so pla dowww!!! haha
Sooooo, after watching the tutorial and playing around with after effects for a few days, I finally got the hang of some of the practices and here is my final result of a project. I choose to do a minimalist depiction of The Prince of Egypt (by far the most stunning animated film of the past 20 years.)
I love the art direction of the film, particularly their interpertation of egyptian design. I really wanted to focus on that more than the biblical aspect of the film only because the artist handled the egyptian elements so beautifully. Here is the reference that I based my project off of.
These are the feelings I get when I look at this
Essentially what I did was I traced the stone statue, and simplified the disign as best I could while keeping the original idea. This is a perfect example of the power and epic scale that is laced throughout the film, without going to in depth into the story.
Here is a link to the finished animation.

Those who follow Jesus have been sent on a mission. It is a dangerous, demanding, sacrifice-filled mission. It is a purpose-filled, meaning-filled, and gratifying mission. We are commanded by Jesus to be a part of saving world. (No big deal, right!?) When faced with this reality, we may wonder: "Do I have what it takes?" We ask this question because we know that in ourselves and by ourselves we don't have what it takes. But what we learn in our lesson this week from 2 Timothy 1:1-7 is that God, by his grace (not because we deserve it), has given us everything we need to fulfill our part in this great mission. Just as St. Paul encourages young Timothy in this letter, so we can be encouraged and given courage to dive in fully into God's plan for us, which is our involvement in his mission to the world. - 2 Timothy Series

Man of the People, For the People
Can't say why, but I am drawn to artists who create art in spite of the danger of doing so. Goya, Pisarro, and Luce (See Feb., 2010 archive) all paid a price. So did Daumier.
Honore Daumier (1808-1879)was a lithographer, caricaturist, sculptor and painter. The family's financial circumstances were lean. In order to help, young Daumier took a job as a delivery boy. In his spare time, he sketched from paintings at the Louvre.
When Daumier was age 22, he studied lithography and found work with small publishing houses. He became a very good satirical political cartoonist poking fun at the king and the upper class.
Eventually, his lithograph titled "Gargantua" of Louis-Phillipe, the reigning monarch, would lead to a 6-month stint in jail. Nevertheless, he continued to "voice" his displeasure with the French oligarchy.
Daumier is considered one of the most prolific artist of the 19th century. During his lifetime, he produced 4000 graphics, 300 paintings, 800 drawings, 1000 woodcuts and sculptures. He is most remembered for his lithograph titled, "Rue Transnonain, le 15 avril 1834" To fully appreciate what Daumier was portraying, it helps to have a little background.
During Louis-Phillipe's reign, there were anti-worker laws enacted such as those that prevent forming labor unions. The terrible working conditions that existed and the new laws generated resistance. During the resistance, a sniper shot a police officer and the police went on a rampage in the building where they thought the sniper was located.
The police shot everyone they could find in the building - even women and children. Daumier, who lived only 3 blocks from the building, was so upset that he created a large lithograph. A print seller placed one of the prints in his shop window.
When the authorities learned about the lithograph, all known prints were confiscated and the original lithographic stone was destroyed. Fortunately, some prints were successfully hidden away from the authorities.
Look carefully and closely at the print. Did you note the little child? What do you think about this famous print?

Yes, I found the child. You know, I have seen that lithograph before but never realized how many people he had in the scene. It's a pitiful sight. Shows what happens when the full force of the ruling party is fearful. Wow. JOReplyDelete

Sadly, we may just see this happen again in our lifetimes. How many times has history been repeated already? Thank goodness for the artists and their convictions to the arts and portrayals of the times. They can take everything away, except the creativity.ReplyDelete

AS always, worth reading and learning about. Daumier's lithograph didn't touch me until I saw the child in it, then my heart hurt. I, like you, appreciate courageous people who tell the truth in spite of risk. Mary S.ReplyDelete

It's always uplifting to read about someone who lives what he/she believes... and what an incredible artist he was. ConnieReplyDelete

The Salon will feature Camille Henrot's series "Jewels from the Personal Collection of Princess Salimah Aga Khan", curated by Astrid de Maismont and moderated by Carrie Springer.
The timing for this Salon is ideal:
The Salon will take place at the Emily Harvey Foundation, the last fluxhouse developed by Georges Maciunas. Camille will sit down with Carrie to discuss her work with a group of forty privileged guests.
We would like to extend a special thanks to Alexandra Baudelot, who premiered the work at Rosascape in Paris and has now shared it with Gertrude for this New York Salon.
Ticket includes:
About the artist
Camille Henrot was the recipient of the 2013 Silver Lion for a promising young artist in the International Exhibition Il Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace) at the 55th Venice Biennale. Best-known for her videos and animated films combining drawn art, music and occasionally scratched or reworked cinematic images, Camille Henrot's work blurs the traditionally hierarchical categories of art history.

Forecast for full-time, permanent hiring in Q4 most optimistic since 2006
Posted October 14, 2015
Full-time, permanent hiring in the fourth quarter is projected to be the most robust since 2006 and seasonal hiring is poised to outpace last year's projections by a healthy margin, according to CareerBuilder's latest forecast. Thirty-four percent of U.S. employers plan to hire full-time, permanent staff in Q4, and nearly the same percentage (33 percent) expect to add seasonal staff. More than half (53 percent) of retailers plan to hire seasonal workers in Q4, up from 43 percent last year.
"Our study is reflecting a durability in the U.S. economy and labor market," said Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder and co-author of The Talent Equation. "Employer confidence is widespread and the strongest we've seen since 2006. Hiring will continue on an upward trajectory for both permanent and seasonal positions, with pay expected to improve over last year as companies keep pace with minimum wage hikes and compete more aggressively for elusive talent."
The national survey was conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder from August 12 to September 2, 2015, and included a representative sample of 2,326 hiring managers and human resource professionals across industries and company sizes.
Full-time, Permanent Hiring in Q3 2015
Thirty-nine percent of employers added full-time, permanent headcount in Q3, up from 34 percent in the same period in 2014 and 28 percent in 2013. Ten percent decreased headcount, on par with last year, while 49 percent made no change to staff levels and 1 percent was unsure.
Full-time, Permanent Hiring in Q4 2015
Looking ahead, 34 percent of employers plan to add full-time, permanent employees in Q4, up from 29 percent in 2014 and 25 percent in 2013. Ten percent expect to reduce staff, on par with last year, while 52 percent anticipate no change and 4 percent are unsure.
Seasonal Hiring in Q4 2015
Seasonal hiring activity over the next three months is also expected to show notable year-over-year gains. One third (33 percent) of employers expect to hire seasonal workers in Q4, up from 26 percent last year. Fifty-seven percent expect to transition some seasonal staff into full-time, permanent roles, up from 42 percent last year.
Pay for Seasonal Jobs
Seasonal workers will likely benefit from recent minimum wage increases implemented at the federal and state level and among large name brands. Thirty-seven percent of employers say they will increase pay for their seasonal staff, up 10 percentage points over last year. Seventy-two percent of seasonal employers will pay $10 or more per hour while 19 percent will pay $16 or more.
Half of seasonal employers (52 percent) say they're boosting staffs to help with the busier holiday season while others are focused on wrapping up the year (30 percent) or ramping up for 2016 (31 percent).
While the amount of retailers planning to hire seasonal help in Q4 increased 10 percentage points over last year, companies across industries are hiring for a variety of areas:
- Customer Service – 46 percent
- Administrative/Clerical Support – 23 percent
- Inventory Management – 17 percent
- Hosting/Greeting – 17 percent
- Shipping/Delivery – 16 percent
- Accounting/Finance – 15 percent
- Marketing – 15 percent
- Sales (non-retail) – 11 percent
- Technology – 10 percent
Permanent and Seasonal Hiring by Region
Similar to last year's forecast, the South houses the largest percentage of employers planning to add full-time, permanent employees in Q4 (36 percent). The Midwest reported the largest year-over-year gain with 34 percent of employers expecting to add full-time, permanent staff, up 10 percentage points over last year. The West is leading other regions for seasonal hiring (42 percent) by a significant margin of 9-plus percentage points and reported the biggest year over year gain (13 percentage points).

Permanent and Seasonal Hiring by Company Size
Among employers with more than 500 employees, 44 percent plan to add full-time, permanent headcount, a solid jump from 35 percent last year. The percentage expecting to hire seasonal workers in Q4 is up significantly from 31 percent in 2014 to 42 percent in 2015.
Hiring is also expected to pick up pace in small businesses. Among companies with 50 or fewer employees, 23 percent plan to hire full-time, permanent workers over the next three months, up 6 percentage points from 16 percent last year. Seasonal hiring for this segment is expected to hold steady with 17 percent of employers planning to add staff.
Among companies with 250 or fewer employees, 26 percent expect to add full-time, permanent staff in Q4, up from 23 percent last year, while 25 percent expect to add seasonal staff in Q4, up from 21 percent last year.

Survey Methodology
This survey was conducted online within the U.S. by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder among 2,326 hiring and human resource managers ages 18 and over (employed full-time, not self-employed, non-government) between August 12 and September 2, 2015 (percentages for some questions are based on a subset, based on their responses to certain questions). With a pure probability sample of 2,326, one could say with a 95 percent probability that the overall results have a sampling error of +/- 2.03 percentage points. Sampling error for data from sub-samples is higher and varies.

The Cliffs of Moher are a little bit like Ireland's Eiffel Tower. They're the iconic vista splashed across tourism books, over-saturated and reprinted until you'd think the sight of them in real life might actually be slightly disappointing. Well, it's not.
The Cliffs' official website quaintly claims that the country's most visited natural attraction "captures the hearts of up to one million visitors every year." While I suppose it'll have to battle San Francisco for the claim to most lost/stolen hearts, the site is truly one of the most breathtaking in the world.
Thankfully, the lack of overzealous security, alarming to any American but quite common in any country besides our enthusiastically litigious one, allows for an unprecedented view of the Irish coastline. While old stone walls protect a fort, built during the Napoleonic wars, the majority of the coastline is largely open, and, while a stroll along the bare cliffs is slightly terrifying (especially in the 50mph winds on our day there), it is equally as awe-inspiring.
My father recalled visiting the same site some 30 years ago, before it had been turned into an official tourist attraction. While it does now play host to busloads of tourists each day, and charge an entry fee, the site has remained, for the most part, largely unblemished by this commercialization. The requisite gift shops and tourist amenities have been cleverly built into the hillside, camouflaging them to the undiscerning

Cool, thanks for that. Im a little bit confused about the O/S Win 7 and the numbers on the bottom of my laptop. How are they compatible? Did they do that in the shop? If I put a HDD in my hdd dock (on MY working laptop not friends broken one) and install an O/S onto it how would that be compatible (like mine with numbers on the bottom) with the laptop I choose to put it in?
|My System Specs

By "Numbers on the bottom of your laptop" I assume you mean the 25 digit product key on the COA sticker. This is the key you need to activate a Windows installation on that PC. If this is e.g. a Windows 7 Home Premium key, you can download and burn an ISO and install and activate that. Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life
But if you use just any rinky dink DVD of which you do not know the origin, it may not work.

You would have to call Microsoft to find out if you have a valid Product Key and EXACTLY what type it is---OEM, retail, developer's, etc.
It may be invalid.
Or it may be valid ONLY on the PC to which that sticker is attached.
Or something else.
If it is a valid Product Key, you can download a legal ISO, burn it to a disk, and install from that disk--without using that disk you got from the dealer.
A lot of shops are unethical and use unauthorized versions of Windows on customer machines. There is no easy way to tell about your particular Product Key.

The Win 7 disc I have is Authetic. I used it to do a clean re-install on my laptop fine using the product key. Can I use it on another laptop? I'm downloading the Win 7 HP ISO.
Thanks guys. I'm slowly getting it.

The product key is good for one activated installation.

That also explains why it never asked for a product key because on OEM installation disks it is a hard wired generic key that works only with OEM systems of this make (they can check that on the mobo). A Gateway disc would not correctly install on a HP PC whilst it would work perfectly on a Gateway.
|My System Specs
|28 Apr 2012
Did you call Microsoft and ask them about the Product Key?
Windows disks are a dime a dozen.
What you pay for is the Product Key. Is it authentic? For what type of Windows 7?
If it is an OEM Product Key, no, you cannot use it on another laptop.
But you haven't told us anything about the Product Key and what Microsoft or whoever said about it.

SY6779SE ST THOMAS STREET 873-1/20/368 (West side) 12/12/53 Nos.1-12 (Consecutive) Frederick Place (terrace)
Terrace of 12 houses. Finished c1834 (RCHME). Flemish bond yellow brickwork, but Nos 1-5, returned ends and all of backs, rendered, ashlar basement wall, slate roofs. PLAN: RCHME (p.356) gives a plan for No.8, with central transverse dogleg staircase, but some units (eg. No.6) have a side staircase to the rear. Several ground floors have been given over to shop fronts. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, attic and basement. There are 9 flat-roofed dormers behind the parapet, and each house is 2 windows wide; the original layout was with two 9-pane sashes to the second floor, above a 2-storey bowed oriel with 8:12:8-pane sashes near-centre, and a blind window to the left at first floor. This was above the arched doorway in 2 recessed orders containing a 6-panel door under a reeded transom and plain fanlight, on 7+1 stone steps with nosings, and spearhead railings returned to the doorway, carried across the frontage, with a gate at the right end giving to tight stone winder stairs to the basement area. A large sash in the plane of the wall was located under the oriel in the basement. Plat bands at first- and second-floor levels, and a moulded stone cornice, with blocking-course and coped parapet. Alterations to this include: a canted dormer to No.1, with the parapet cut away in front, and a C20 shop frontage, which returns to Westham Road. The oriel is at first and second floors, rather than ground and first; No.2 has a similar oriel, no glazing bars, a full width C20 dormer, and C20 shop front; No.3 has a C20 shop front; No.4 has the oriel as Nos 1 & 2, glazing bars to the upper half of sashes only, a wide dormer with the parapet dropped in front, and a C19 pilaster shop front with fascia and cornice, inflected to the oriel above. The glazing has slender mullions, and curved glass ends, to a pair of splayed doors under transom lights, under a range of lights with diagonal bars across the whole width, including the recess; No.5 has no glazing bars in the oriel, and a C20 shop front. Nos 1-5 have no railings or steps, and the basement areas have been covered. There are shop fronts and no areas also to Nos 6, 9 & 12. Nos 9, 10 & 12 have 4-pane sashes with plain sashed oriels.
The return to Westham Road has a very broad coped gable with wide central stack concealing a central valley. It is 3 windows wide, with a central recessed arched panel containing a blind lunette over a 9-pane sash, and a small canted oriel with plain sash, displaced to the left; each side of this are sashes with 6 panes (probably originally 12-paned), but a 2-light casement replacement to the second floor, right. A C20 shopfront with piers continues below a C20 extension to right. The return at the left-hand end, adjoining the Masonic Hall (qv) is plain, rising to a high parapet beyond the gable stack. Stacks remain generally to Nos 6-12, but have been cropped or taken away in the first group of 5. The rear of the terrace, facing Great George Street, is much more varied, reflecting the piecemeal development behind the standardised fronts. No.1 has a high double-gable roof, and later extensions, but Nos 2-5 have a deep mansard rear slope, with dormers at 2 levels, some glazing-bar sashes remain below. No.6 has an original small central 6-pane dormer behind a parapet, and above sashes to the left with 9, 12 and 12 panes, plus a deep 27-paned stair window to the right; the lower ground floor has a flat-roofed extension. No.7 has 2 similar dormers and parapet, with two 9- above 12-paned sashes, then, at the upper ground floor 2 pairs of French doors with margin-panes to a slate-roofed verandah on trellis supports and balustrade. At lower ground floor is a 4-pane sash and a doorway. No.8 has 2 good dormers and parapet, above plain sashes, and appears to have been built as a pair with No.7, but has lost the verandah, and has a large C20 flat-roofed extension. Nos 9 & 10 are less deep than those on either side, but with the same parapet height; No.9 has 2 dormers, and No.10 has 1, with sash arrangements as to No.6. Nos 11 & 12 each have a single 6-pane dormer, with varied lights and extensions below. INTERIOR: not generally inspected, but No.7 has a stick baluster stair at the rear, left, and there are panelled window shutters and reeded cornices. This appears to have been a characteristic example of speculative development, with the facade to the terrace determined, but the completion thereafter subject to differing requirements. The relatively late development occurred as this was previously garden area to Gloucester Lodge (qv); Westham Road appears to have been created at the time of the development. A fine terrace with consistent frontage to St Thomas Street, apart from the rendering to the first group and insertion of some shop fronts. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 354; Ricketts E: The Buildings of Old Weymouth: Melcombe Regis and Westham: Weymouth: 1976-: 54).

Pupil Premium
All members of staff and governors accept responsibility for 'socially disadvantaged' children and young people. They are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and academic needs within the school environment. St John Vianney is committed to 'Narrowing the Gap' if one is found to exist between vulnerable children and young people and pupil premium forms a vital part of this process.
What do SJV Use Pupil Premium For?
- Facilitating pupils access to education and the curriculum.
- Alternative support and intervention within the school.
How does SJV Use Pupil Premium?
Different strategies have been used in school to support children and young people. The scope and range of activity is wide. Not every pupil who is eligible for Pupil Premium has taken part in every activity and those that have are not restricted to those of low income or vulnerability.
Plans are constructed according to need:-
- A mix of individual and group support.
- Additional training for Teaching Assistants to enable better support in class.
- Subsidising in-school activities.
- Targeted skills based and/or social and emotional support delivered by the school social worker and creative Therapists including Drama, Horticulture and Art.
- Subsidising school uniform.
- Subsidising school trips/residentials.
- Purchases of improved learning resources.
- Subsidising the cost of specialist visitors to school to broaden children & young peoples experiences.
Impact of Pupil Premium
In common with other schools we believe that is still too early to assess fully the impact that Pupil Premium is having on pupil progress and/or outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. As a school we track performance of all pupils and continue to use indicators such as eligibility for Pupil Premium, SEN, ethnicity, EAL etc. to identify the performance of groups of pupils against their peer groups.
The longer the tracking continues for pupils, the more secure the judgement that can be made with regard to progress. Short time scales and small numbers of pupils, produce data that is prone to misrepresentation. It can be difficult to disaggregate the impact of Pupil Premium work from other things that the school does to support vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils. It should be understood that the school has a focus on inclusion where staffing reflects this practise.

My sister is disguised as a gypsy in a skirt and vest my mother made (which later came down to me). I managed to find a red, gabardine raincoat with a hood so that I could appear for the evening as Little Red Riding Hood and still wear all the warm clothing (underneath) my mother insisted on.
Halloween is still one of the best holidays going for kids. Congress hasn't been able to move it around and foul it up the way they have other holidays. It still takes place, weekday or not, on October 31. And it still means pranks and funny clothes and treats.
A good time all the way 'round.
I stopped by the grocery store this afternoon to make sure I would have enough candy for the kids, and things were pretty nutty just off the produce aisle:
I ran into Harry Potter and, excuse me Miss, are you one of the 101 Dalmatians? She and her brother said in unison: "No! TWO of the 101 Dalmatians," and I stood corrected (almost missed the other one as it was so much smaller and so well camouflaged).Their mom said it was okay to take their picture and they also consented.
Then, as I went to the meat counter to try to find something I could cook easily between doorbell rings, I ran into:
... an escapee from the Pharaoh's tomb. I must say she looked much better than any of the other mummies I've run into lately, especially in that dress. She works at the grocery store and came in on her day off to do a little modeling of her costume. The store is not a chain and must be a nice place to work for someone to want to do that.
I know there are those who say we shouldn't be having such fun with a day that comes down to us from primitive times, when people believed the dead walked the streets. But we don't really believe the dead walk the streets on Halloween. What we believe is that kids walk with parents in the autumn weather to show off their costumes to neighbors like me, in return for a little candy. It must be good for candy companies too.
I've always loved the day myself, since dressing up seems to be in my DNA. That, and a love of sweets which came to me via both my parents. I've told the story many times of the Halloween my father walked with us up and down the nearby blocks on his crutches. He had broken a bone in his foot several days earlier, stepping off a curb in San Francisco. He was young a strong and wasn't about to miss Halloween night.
Goes to show you when you do something exceptionally kind, your children will never forget it. It has only been in recent years that I've wondered if he did it for the candy and not for my sis and me! (What a sweet tooth he had.)
The night is full of memories: the flashlight Dad used to carry since Los Altos is rural and doesn't have many street lights: the smell of wood smoke in air; the first chill after the long, warm summer; bags and bags of candy, restricted at all other times.
Many adults must feel as I do and enjoy this autumn ritual. It is the only explanation I can come up with for a grocery clerk with whom I have a passing acquaintance, who came to work like this today:
Since he isn't Chinese (his name is Jose Mendez) I'll let someone else deal with the political correctness of this. Meanwhile, I'll be appearing in a black cape. And don't hand me a broom or I'll show you my fangs. To quote that famous Count: "I dont' drink. Wine."
Happy Halloween!
