GOVERNMENT CONSIDERED CUTTING PAYMENTS ENTIRELY TO UNDER 30s
January 29, 2018
The ABC has reported today that ahead of the 2014 budget, the Liberals considered banning anyone under 30 from accessing income support, according to cabinet documents.
This shows there is no limit to how low this Government will sink to in their attempts to undermine our social safety net and attack young Australians.
This is the most out-of-touch government in Australian history – a government that kicks young Australians to the kerb while handing out $65 billion in new tax breaks for multinational companies and big banks.
Australia has one of the most well-targeted social security systems in the world. It is affordable, it is sustainable, and it is fair.
These payments provide a vital safety net to people unable to work and play an important role in alleviating poverty.
Malcolm Turnbull should today rule out any further attacks on young Australians who are looking for work.
What other attacks on young people, jobseekers, pensioners and families are they considering for the 2018 Budget?
Labor successfully defeated the majority of cuts in the Government's horror 2014 Budget, including the Government's attempt to make young people wait six months to receive unemployment benefits.
These cruel cuts were rejected by the Australian people and by the Parliament.
Labor will continue to stand up for young Australians and defend our social safety net.
The Liberals are seriously out of touch with ordinary Australians.

Kanal (unit)
A kanal (ڪنال) is a unit of area used in parts of Pakistan and in India. In Pakistan different conversions exist in various areas: a kanal is generally considered equal to 5400 square feet, but it is equal to 4500 square feet in Lahore. In India it is generally considered equivalent to 4500 square feet or one-eighth of an acre.
A kanal is a traditional unit of land area. In India it is used in the northern states of Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and North Eastern parts of Pakistan. Its use in India is in decline with urban land measurements standardizing on use of square feet, square meters and square yards.
Under British rule the marla and kanal were standardized so that the kanal equals exactly 605 square yards or 1⁄8 acre; this is equivalent to about 505.857 square meters. A kanal is equal to 20 marlas.[1]
A kanal is equal to:
- 1⁄8 acre (510 m2)
- 20 marlas
- 605 square yards
- 5440 Square feet

Ambulance crews have been responding to incidents from a new site in Chichester this week.
South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SECAmb) is responding from St James Industrial Estate, in Westhampnett Road.
Lorna Stuart, Senior Operations Manager said: "I'm pleased the new response post for Chichester is now ready to be fully operational. It's important that crews not only have somewhere suitable to rest but also that that place is in the right place for our patients and for us to respond to the rising number of 999 calls each year."
SECAmb's Ambulance Community Response Posts (ACRPs) are placed across Kent, Surrey and Sussex to make sure crews are best placed to respond to patient demand.
The response posts reduce the need for ambulance crews to park on standby at the roadside – when they have no facilities to use between calls.
The trust has also applied for planning permission for two new sites in Kent – Sheppey and Herne Bay.
A spokesman for the trust said: "SECAmb is in the process of rolling out its Make Ready programme, which sees vehicles cleaned, maintained and stocked to a standard specification at a Make Ready Centre before crews respond from the network of response posts, better suited to meet patient demand.

There is always plenty going on for youth of all ages at Raleigh Close. On a shul level, all are welcome to our regular Shabbat and Yom Tov, whether at day or in the evening. Based in the community centre, we have a solid attendance of over 50 a week coming along to enjoy our minyan, which the youth conduct themselves. Be it leining, davening or giving over a dvar Torah, there is ample opportunity for all to get involved in our service. Of course, each service is followed by a delicious kiddish and a chance to catch up with friends.
With shul providing the centre point of our activities, there is still plenty going on outside of our services. We offer a range of activities throughout the school year as well. For example, this year we have had roller-skating, quasar and the shul football tournament to name a few things we have been up to. Our more educational programmes have included an Oneg at our flat, delivering cakes to the community's elderly before Rosh Hashana and a full afternoon's activities to play our part in Mitzvah.
You can keep up to date with the youth and events on our Facebook group or by keeping your eyes open to our posters on the shul noticeboard or adverts in the shul newsletter.

I tried a Turbofire class today, I mean video. Turbofire is high-intensity cardio. I haven't gotten my fitness back yet, after my surgery I had trouble getting back on track. I had a surgery in August and for 6 weeks I wasn't allowed to do more than a little walking and a bit of yoga. After that I did a little Pilates/yoga but I didn't get back into my strength and cardio until recently. I don't have any excuse for that, I mean I was basically hibernating! I am not familiar with this program though I have done Insanity, a few years ago! It was fast, that is the main thing I can say about it. I am not that coordinated (that is an understatement) so I did find transitions a challenge. She went from one exercise to another bam bam bam. It was like cardio on amphetamines. I can't really see my screen anymore without glasses (which I can't wear when flying all over the place), I mean a bit, but like not in a productive meaningful way, so I go by sound in my workouts more than anything else (maybe I should get audio book versions haha). I am like a machine during a yoga video, I don't even have to strain at the screen if I hear the command then I understand perfectly, even if I have never done the video before. Cardio is a bit trickier if I don't know off hand the name of the move. I have memorized the names of tons of moves but sometimes names vary a bit. So there will be a learning curve. I swear if you screamed Burpee at me in the mall I'd be on the ground instantly! In fact when I fall down, as I often do, I have even started to fall that way by instinct.
Anyhow I was moving as fast as I could, improvising when I couldn't see or perfectly make sense of what was happening, sweating generously, and the time just vanished. Did I even do the video? It was all so fast. I am sore from a seriously brutal butt-workout previously so my body was worn out before I began. I did not need to take any pauses or anything and went hard, full-on for the 30 minutes. I would not say this is my favorite style of exercise. I like HIIT more than aerobic kickboxing or whatever this is and I like to stay with the same exercises for a bit longer (I like intervals of about 30 seconds). I also didn't like her comment about ditching your friends if they don't exercise? Maybe I misunderstood but I am not into the whole I exercise so I am superior rubbish or really snobbism in general. I am not about to start proselytizing up in here if you want to exercise do whatever makes you happy, if you don't do whatever makes you happy.
Anyhow I am the sort that likes variety so I am continuously trying new routines, here and there. I have gone through a program before but usually I have a kitchen sink approach. I decide how long I want to workout that day, what I want to focus on, what style I am in the mood for and I find something that fits. I need to get my starting measurements here soon as well. I don't have measurement goals really but it shows progress even if the scale doesn't change.

About The Lankford Hotel
The Lankford Hotel was built by the Mary B. Quillen in 1924 and has remained in the family since that time. Mary ran the hotel solely until 1962 when her niece Betty Frame and her husband Warren purchased the hotel four days before the famous hurricane of 1962. This proved to be an omen of things to come. However, after several hurricanes which rearranged the basement of the hotel, the Lankford is still standing and has improved with age.
As Ocean City grew so did the Lankford. Betty and Warren remodeled the hotel, turning some of the rooms into apartments and added more buildings as they went along. Today the Lankford Property consists of the main hotel, located at 801-805 boardwalk, the Ayresbilt, which holds 9 apartments, the Sea Robin which is a three floor, two apartment building and the Lankford Lodge which has two apartments and 11 rooms. The one thing that has remained solid about the hotel property and has become one of our main attractions, is the fact that we have always remained a family establishment.
We love the family atmosphere and hold on to that image. We do not rent to groups of people in order to maintain a quiet atmosphere. While we want everyone to have fun, we maintain quiet so that the babies and children can sleep at anytime in the rooms, no radios allowed on the outside porches and we ask that all guests vacate our guests rooms by 11:00 p.m. so that no doors will be banging late at night. In fact, in the main building we still lock our front doors at 2:30 in the morning. Should tenants be out after that time, they will remain out until we unlock the doors at 6:30 am. All of this is to instill safety and security for the tenants. We want no one walking the halls and knocking on doors and disturbing the vacations of those visiting our properties.
Hotel Impossible
In the spring of 2013, we were forced to reevaluate how we were performing, as the hotel faced increasing competition from newer hotels, It was decided that we needed to find someone who could come in and help us identify problem areas and then help us work on eliminating the inefficiencies to increase our ability to compete. Mary decided to contact the producers of "Hotel Impossible" on the Travel Channel. After looking at our bottom line, they sent in Anthony Melchiorri, a hotel management expert, along with designer, Blanche Garcia and a camera crew to document the journey. Anthony found that our systems were outdated and our aesthetic and design concepts needed updating. While his designer worked on one of the apartment units, he worked on the office systems. While we used a reservation system called Roommaster, Anthony called them and they sent a representative to us who brought their top of the line software and installed it on new computers for the office, which the representative purchased and presented to us. Their software gives us the capibility to take on-line reservations and credit cards which at that point we were unable to do. Anthony also felt our web site was out of date and had our initial page redesigned to show us what would look more professional and we then contacted a team to develop a new web site to follow what Anthony started. While he was working on the office systems, Blanche was busy with her team which included Joseph T. Dashiell, a local contracter who supplied his services and a crew to help in the redesign. They took the outdated unit and turned it into a beautiful apartment that maintains its vintage vibe with a contemporary design. They added bright colors along with a few new key pieces of furniture, new bedding, new window treatments and a new bathroom. In doing that, they also gave us the guidelines of what they did in order for us to be able to replicate each detail ourselves. This gives us everything we need to continue with the updates on our own. And the final issue we dealt with was a lack of team unity which Anthony also addressed. We were having issues, as a family, working as a team. In the end, Anthony and his team showed us how to move forward building team spirit to work on issues that would come up. We found that with Anthony's guidance, we have been able to make decisions as a unit, work with each other and solve problems that have come up over the course of the summer and have continued the updates that were started by the design team.

Mission Statement By Alex Kendall
- I believe that I can be a strong, passionate human who can do whatever I set my mind to. It may be hard and take a lot of energy but i'm a headstrong and hard working person who can do anything. My family and friends had an impact on the mindset I have.
- My family and friends had an impact on the mindset I have. My mom always tells me i'm smart and beautiful who can see the positive and negative sides of situations. My dad always has a way of looking at me in a way that I know that in his mind he's thinking how wonderful and beautiful his little girl is. Of course, My siblings always help me see things in new ways and work for what I want.
- Not only my family but my pet can always make me work harder to be good. I know even if she can't talk that she believes in me and everything I do!
- And lastly, My friends like Mora, Ken and, Shaelyn always see the best in me and believe that I can achieve my goals.
- And with all of their help I have thought to believe that my mission statement should be that I can do anything I believe in because I am me and that's all I need.

In the past years, a few microwave vendors have introduced 'sub-band free' RF outdoor units into the market. The main claim of these radios is that a single hardware variant can be deployed in any frequency sub-band, simplifying and lower costs involved with ordering, deployment and sparing of microwave networks.
However, these new radios are not available in all bands and come with a number of limitations, including lower RF performance, larger size, and weight, higher cost, limitations in modulation and channel sizes, amongst others.Read More

Effect of marijuana on the testis and accessory reproductive organs
Roth crude marijuana extract (CME) and THC produced a decrease in the weight of the reproductive organs of rats when given over a prolonged period of time and over several dosage ranges. The greatest effects were reported for high dosages (15 and 75 mg/kg orally daily for 77 days). Fujimoto et al. () showed significant reduction in ventral prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymal weight, which was correlated with a decrease in plasma testosterone levels and was accompanied by a reduced number of sperm in the fluids of the epididymus. Treatment of the rats for only 5 days produced none of these changes. The effects of the cannabinoids appeared to be reversible, because there was a return to control levels of organ weights 30 days after cessation of drug treatment.
Similarly, Dixit and Lohiya () report that cannabis extract produced a marked reduction in the weights of seminal vesicles, ventral prostate, epididymus, and preputial glands of castrated adult male mice. Further, if cannabis extract was administered in combination with testosterone propionate, the growth stimulation produced by testosterone propionate alone was inhibited, indicating that cannabis extract may be antiandrogenic. However, there was no indication as to which compounds in the extract might produce the antiandrogenic effect. Vyas and Singh () report that cannabis administered to pigeons for 30, 60, or 90 days produced a significant decrease in the gross weight of the testis, decrease in the diameter of seminiferous tubules, degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules, and a complete cessation of sperm production. Dixit et al. () also showed that CME (10 mg/kg I.P. for 10 days) produced degenerative changes in the testis of a toad including decreased Leydig cell nuclei, a reduction of RNA and protein contents in the testis, and an indication of reduced androgen production.
Purohit et al. () report that THC administered to hypophysectomized rats was able to block the stimulatory effect of human chorionic gonadotropin on ventral prostate and seminal vesicle weights but that serum testosterone and dihydroxytestosterone levels were unaffected. They concluded that THC must have both a direct tissue effect and an indirect hypothalamic-hypophyseal effect to reproduce the changes observed in the testis. Ghosh et al. () report that THC (10 mg/kg for 7 days) prevented the testosterone induced changes of DNA, RNA and protein content, acid phosphatase, and an isoenzyme variant of acid phosphatase in the ventral prostate tissues of adult castrated rats. They theorized that THC acted anti-androgenically directly at the level of the male accessory sex organs.
The reports in the literature of reduction in reproductive organ weights are accompanied by reports that show that the quality and quantity of sperm produced by the testis is affected by cannabinoids. Fosenkrantz and Hayden () report that rats exposed to single daily doses of Turkish marijuana smoke, containing .25% THC, exhibited seminiferous tubule degeneration with an interference with sperm maturation. Zimmerman et al. () have shown that treatment of mice for as few as 5 days with THC (5 mg/kg I.P.) or cannabidiol (CBD) (10 and 25 mg/kg I.P.) produced an increase in the number of abnormal sperm, including sperm which had an increased number of ring and chain translocations when the cells were evaluated 16 days after the last dose of cannabinoids. When calls were evaluated 35 days after the last of 5 consecutive days of cannabinoid treatment, among the abnormal sperm reported where those which had heads without hooks, banana shaped heads, amorphous heads, and folded heads. Huang et al. () reported that rats receiving .4 or 3 mg THC/kg as marijuana smoke for 75 days exhibited a decreased number of epididymal sperm, and an increased number of sperm with head to tail dissociations. These sperm changes were accanpanied by a decrease in testicle weight, a decrease in the weight of the seminal vesicles, and an increase in adrenal gland weight.
Dalterio et al. () treated male mice with THC, CBD, or CME (25 mg/kg) daily for 5 days. The mice were killed 50 to 60 days after cessation of drug treatment and meiotic chromosomes were prepared for microscopic examination from the testes. They reported that THC treated animals had a higher frequency of unpaired sex chromosomes at metaphase than did controls. Other chromosomal aberrations reported for cannabinoids include: ring and chain translocations, an increased incidence of aneupolidy, and a higher frequency of polyploidy. They also report that the cannabinoid treated males impregnated significantly fewer females, that the females successfully impregnated had a higher pre- and post-natal death rate and an increased percentage of pregnancies with fetal loss. The Fl male offspring, of these cannabinoid exposed males, who successfully impregnated females produced litters that had a higher incidence of developmental anomalies or that exhibited chromsomal rearrangements.
Several studies have been reported that may help to explain the reduced sperm production as well as the abnormalities that are seen in the semen after treatment of animals with various cannabinoids. Jakubovic and McGeer () studied the effects of THC and various water insoluble cannabinoids on metabolism in testicular slices and testicular cell suspensions. Cannabinoids (.1 mM) caused significant diminution in the amount of radioactivity that was incorporated into nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins in the testis slices. The cannabinoids inhibited the synthesis of labeled nucleotides and the incorporation of radioactive amino acids into proteins. They concluded that cannabinoid treatment produces a direct inhibitory effect of the cannabinoids on the kinases and/or polymerases involved in the RNA or DNA synthesis and that the inhibition of protein synthesis may be, in turn, a result of decreased chromosomal DNA, which could ultimately lead to alteration in spermatogenesis.
Jakubovic et al. (1979) also examined the effects of cannabinoids on testosterone and protein synthesis in rat testis Leydig cells in vitro. Various cannabinoids were added to the Leydig cell preparation at .15 mM concentration. It was found that HOG stimulated preparations incurred a 50% reduction in testosterone synthesis. However, the nonstimulated cultures had no effect on basal steroid-ogenesis even at cannabinoid concentrations of 15 mM. They concluded that cannabinoids at this high concentration may interfere directly with the Leydig cells to inhibit both protein synthesis and testosterone synthesis, and that the consequence of this inhibition might be affected spermatogenesis.
Several investigators have examined the effect that cannabinoids have on the enzymes of the testis in both in vivo and in vitro systems. There is evidence that cannabinoids affect the enzymes found in Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules which are important in sperm maturation. Schwartz et al. () have shown that treatment of rats with THC (2 mg/kg I.P. for 9 days) or with cannabidiol (2 mg/kg I.P. for 9 days), produced a decrease in both microsomal cytochrome P-450 Leydig cells of the testis (an enzyme which is involved in the biosynthesis of testosterone) and gamma-glutanlyl transpeptidase (a marker protein for Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis). Normal levels of cytochrome P-450 and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were restored when exogenous LH and FSH were supplied to the THC treated animals. These results indicate that some enzymatic defects caused by cannabinoid exposure may be prevented if normal levels of the gonadotropins are maintained and that cannabinoid effects on the testis might be due to defects of pituitary hormones rather than a direct action of the drugs on the testis. Goldstein et al. () reported that CBD (2 mg/kg/day, I.F.) and THC (2 mg/kg/day I.P.) depressed an esterase isozyrne of the rat Ieydig cells after 10 days of treatment with the cannabinoids. Also, Hubbard et al. () reported a reduced cholesterol esterase activity in cultured rat Leydig cells at a concentration of 16 mM. This enzyme hydrolyzes the cholesteryl esters of oleic, arachadonic, and palmitic acids.
A group of investigators () has examined the effect of various cannabinoids on the enzymes, involved in the synthesis of testosterone, that are located in the Leydig cells. An early study (Burstein 1978a) indicated that neither THC nor CBN (1 and 5 micrograms/ml) altered the transformation of either pregnenalone or progesterone to testosterone, a dose of cannabinoid that caused a 60% decrease in overall testosterone synthesis in vitro. They postulated that the cannabinoids either blocked the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenalone or somehow affected the availability of precursor-cholesterol. Burstein et al. () used isolated mouse Leydig cells as a model to examine the stepwise steroidogenic pathway for the site of action of THC and concluded that THC inhibition was effected at the release of precursor cholesterol from its ester storage. Shoupe et al. () showed that THC inhibited crude Leydig cell cholesterol esterase preparations with a mixed type of inhibition.
Cannabinoids are relatively insoluble in the aqueous medium used to culture testicular cells which raises the question of what the concentration of cannabinoids is in the culture media and how cannabinoids may affect other constituents of the culture media. A further complication is the fact that the actual tissue concentration in vivo may never approach the levels that were added to cultures to cause the results reported in vitro. At least one study () indicated that there was no selective concentration of radioactive a8-THc in the cells of the testis of mice administered the compound. Thus, some of the observations reported for alteration in protein synthesis and testosterone synthesis may be an artiface of an in vitro system and may not be representative of what was actually occurring in vivo.

How Media Is Useful To Users
Media is likewise a stage to scatter data, the wellspring of amusement, a medium to express contemplation and furthermore to voice against troublesome plans of government. Media has a tremendous potential to contact mass crowd has been recognized by media administrators. By and by, the administration has a part in media while allows or permit must be conceded from the legislature before the media organization executes any exercises.
Nowadays, the media is exceptionally basic in a person's life. The media and correspondence are connected in a way that could set out the two capacities though aids the procedure of correspondence. Media incorporates Malaysia daily paper, Web design Malaysia, Malaysia books industry and everything that gives the data. The remarkable quality of media in this day and age has conveyed correspondence to another level where our ages are recognized with its presence and gives the media another stage to set out inside our general public. Besides, advancements in data and correspondence innovation have enabled the media to infuse noticeable quality angles towards any issues or emergency without de-underscoring different factors in the movement of correspondence whereby media has its own particular motivation setting part.
Besides, broad communications go about as a fundamental responsibility instrument by going about as a guard dog of society. For instance, by raising or uncovering essential issues, for example, political debasement in a specific culture and individuals have the power with regards to government matters where in Malaysia majority rules system exists.
Generally speaking, different components of a substance identified with media proprietorship whether it is certain or negative viewpoints. Media is playing both useful and in addition damaging parts however toward the end, it is up to the individual and society to choose in regards to media productions. The focus in possession that is reorganization old media has prompted combination in news correspondence and a narrowing of sourcing in new media.
As broad communications have an incredible wellspring of data, media proprietors or media mammoths must be watchful with regards to media depictions as false news won't vanish medium-term. Be that as it may, media must use its capacity to enable society to despite the fact that budgetary and political issues will dependably be manipulative.
All media establishments must battle a fight to dependably be reasonable and distribute just realities to spare the general population from the untruthful news. Nowadays, very few could get by in media outlets as there are a ton of difficulties as far as respectability and furthermore contenders from other media organizations. Be that as it may, we should remind ourselves to dependably be honest in spreading the news as one news could change a man's life. It is useless to pick up benefits while exploiting others endure while we can spare individuals from a ton of inconveniences and accomplish solidarity in peace.
Despite that, media majority rules system likewise assumes a major part as nationals must comprehend their essential human right and not effortlessly impact by media depictions as the credibility of stories can be controlled effectively to pick up the gathering of people's consideration whereby to expand their organization benefits. Indeed, even political gatherings, government officials, pastors, and different service sites regularly have a Facebook, Twitter, and other online life records to convey their news and data to the more extensive open.

I walk into dfbrl8r performance art gallery after a three hour commute from hell. On top of the fiasco of traveling through the hub of that fire that tore up the Fullerton Red/Brownline station on Tuesday, I spent an extra five to ten minutes wandering Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park, somewhat in a daze, probably suffering from heatstroke, heading southeast, trying to understand why the street numbers were decreasing. 'Shouldn't the numbers be going up? Where is this place?,' the thoughts rattle senselessly through my body, feet pounding cement sidewalk, eyes scouring the addresses, searching discernibly for '1136.' I turn around and head back up the street and perform this ritual frenzy of paces past the same intersection, up the curb, down the curb, up the curb, down the curb, until I finally realise where I'm going. 'Oh wait. Duh. I'm on the northside, the numbers go down as you head south here. Whoopsee."
In my hurry, I managed to walk right past Defibrillator gallery, my brain still reeling from the ordeal of just getting to my volunteer meeting for the upcoming Rapid Pulse, Performance Art Festival. It's no wonder I missed the gallery all together, with the display windows stripped completely. The walls inside, bare silver. And the floor, artless, except for semblances of painting material and a torn and folded scrap of a large sheet of unbleached kraft paper. The white floor, faint with scuff marks and dust, blank canvas. The space, empty except for three people: Joseph who notices me walk in, heads towards me immediately, inviting me with his smile. Amber, who fumbles with something on a rolling table packed with snacks. And, Jaida, typing away on a laptop. "Hi, I'm one of the volunteers, I think we were emailing back and forth, right?"
Joseph puts me to work immediately, vacuuming the display spaces, sweeping, moving chairs, trimming the gallery floor in preparation for its pristine new white finish. Over the rest of the evening, I learn that Amber was recently branded with a hot iron rod in Europe, and was part of this punk performance collective called. Non Grata. Jaida is from Turkey, I think, and just finished up her painting MFA at SAIC. And Joseph, he runs the gallery. Among the chaos of setting up the space, making sure the artists arrive on time and worrying about the million other responsibilities this upcoming festival entails, Joseph Ravens maintains this incredible, light-hearted serenity, even taking time to delve into my curious past in Mexico. We talk briefly about the performance art scene down there, and about the exciting prospect Defibrillator brings to Chicago. But really, I'm there to work.
The space, having only recently been opened about a year and a half ago, currently embarks upon the momentous task of spearheading its first performance art festival. I'd seen the display windows of the space before, in passing, probably on my way to Q4's new space. And, I'd have to say, I might have been intimidated by the exterior, that initial first glance past obscure manakins in all black, with dark, brooding objects dangling around them. But, now Defibrillator feels strangely familiar. Like any other community of artist, needing, welcoming, embracing volunteers and innocent, interested new faces into the fold without hesitation. The space, in its barren, stripped, most vulnerable state, speaks volumes about the raw potential of the performance art scene in Chicago, about its proponents, its people and the infinite possibilities that await this performance-curious novice.
I help unload the garbage full of spilling over, used and mostly depleted paint cans and flipped inside out paint gloves as the night draws to an end. The main entrance closes, and we're trapped inside with an enclosing see of white trapping us in a corner in front of the basement door exit. The last roll of white finesses the floor, erasing its flaws. All I can think is, "dang, this floor isn't gonna stay this white. By the end of the festival it's gonna be just as dirty as when I first walked in." A sea of feet will mark, and sully, defile and simultaneously beautify the work that, in a weeks' time will go completely unnoticed, perhaps as a metaphor, a performance unto itself.
Performance art is a tricky subject. Sometimes galvanizing, with its austerity, its piety and its headiness. I can't say that I always enjoy, appreciate or completely capture, or can even sit all the way through most performance art pieces. It takes a special character trait; perhaps, patience? It takes an openness, an "in the right kind of mood" mentality, an experimentative, or playful nature both as spector and creator, for the "happenings" to take on their full effect. Performance art can shake you, burn you, splash a vision of yourself, or shine a light on memory, it can gross you out, or move you to tears, but irregardless it is an experience.
Stop by Defibrillator from June 1-10th for a unique, all encompassing experience. A chance to feel, see, interact and emote, conceive and relinquish yourself, your body, and your thoughts. Bringing together 28 artist from around the world and from our own local performance arts scene, Rapid Pulse aims to spark discourse and momentum around performance in Chicago. With panel talks by countless more intellectuals and experts in the field, artist lectures, and of course performances running for ten full days, this independent space is carving out a niche for performance art in Chicago's already amassing notoriety in the global art arena. It's an exciting time to be here, and an even more exciting time to delve into the unknowns. So, don't be shy. Stop on by.
Here's a quick schedule of events. But for a more in-depth schedule with artists' performance times and bios as well as discussion times, there you go. Otherwise, all your questions about the varying event locations can be answered, right there. Are you as geeked as I am?

All you need to do is get a friendly conversation going, then move the prospect down through the sales funnel. You're not there to close the deal on the first knock, even though that can happen too.
Click play below to get one of the proven door knocking scripts we use.
The important part is to open by introducing yourself and immediately get to the point of why you are there.
Then let the conversation go where it goes, and see how you can demonstrate your value by offering free advice.
Many times homeowners don't know all their options and you can pick up a property with a simple conversation and LISTENING to what the seller needs. You solve their problem, and you get the house under contract.
It all starts with a simple introduction.
If you can get yourself to do that (open up a friendly conversation) you'd be surprised how polite most people are. And if they are not polite to you… well you have a funny story to tell your friends the next time you see them.
And remember..
The more you knock, the more interactions you'll have, and the more interactions you have the better you will get…
And the better you get, the more deals you'll close which will lead to more $$$ in your pocket.
So get out there, do what most people won't do and start door knocking!

As you begin your search for a new computer, make sure that you keep in mind the advice presented in this article. You should be much more confident after reading this article. A computer can be an expensive investment, and serves many purposes, so it is necessary to put time and effort towards finding the right one.

Sunny Manglani had his eyes set on taking his family business to a higher level and widening its reach. Contrary to popular advice, which suggested that MBA wasn't required to head down the entrepreneurial road, he decided to take the plunge. He did his PGDM with specialization in Retail Management from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow in 2015. Today the alum tells us how vital the program has been in his entrepreneurial journey.
Going against popular advice
Sunny's family runs a thriving garment business with a retail outlet in Lucknow. His well wishers were of the opinion that a PGDM program wouldn't necessarily help him with the plans he had for his business. But he decided to go ahead and pursue the program. "I think I have realized the true significance of the program only after I completed it. I realized that education is meant for your all round development. An entrepreneur might not need to have specific knowledge in Finance or HR but MBA makes you a complete package," he asserts.
Making a bid to boost the business
Soon after completing his PGDM from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow, Sunny entered his family business. Though technically it's a second generation business for him, he counts it as a first generation experience because he has much bigger and new plans for it. "My dream is to change the entire operations of the business from traditional to a more modernized and organized setup. I am working on it and also planning to multiply the number of stores. I feel I am confident and equipped for the challenge thanks to my grooming at the B School," he adds.
Welcome to the real world
Sunny admits that life as an entrepreneur is filled with challenges that are very different from his student days. However he misses his student years at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow as they were a stepping stone for what followed. He also remembers being a part of the core committer of the student excellence council, which gave him immense exposure. "I believe the two years at the B School are a huge lesson in crisis management. It's something you are going to rely on in your corporate career or as an entrepreneur. So learn from every experience you will get here," he concludes.

My goodness, how "service stations" have changed over the years.
Gone are the little grease-pits that sold little more than petrol, oil and a small assortment of car-spares such as fan-belts, points,
sparkplugs and the like.
Today's service stations are more about servicing the driver than the vehicle and once you get past the petrol pumps on the forecourt, any connection with automotive technology disappears.
I wonder what I'd be doing today if those old fashioned garages with their bowsers out front and grease-monkies out back had never existed.
What was the watershed moment that launched you into your first career, hobby or passion -- if there was one?
