Inspiration often seems to pop up unpredictably—in the shower, on a long walk or even at the grocery store. But one place I never expect it is during sleep. I tend to think of myself as a computer: at bedtime I power myself down with teeth brushing and pillow fluffing, and soon enough my brain switches off.
That analogy, however, is dead wrong. Your sleeping brain has simply entered an alternative mode of thinking, as psychologist Deirdre Barrett writes in "Answers in Your Dreams." With your eyes closed and limbs immobilized, your brain spins fanciful webs of ideas that your waking mind might have filtered out. In that rich environment, your creativity and problem-solving skills can blossom.
You can even sometimes steer the course of a dream. Along with the high entertainment value of, say, suddenly gaining the ability to fly, this control could prove useful for overcoming anxiety and other troubles, as psychologist Ursula Voss explains in "Unlocking the Lucid Dream."
Dreaming is not the only state the brain inhabits outside the boundaries of our awareness. Even when you sit quietly doing nothing, your brain bustles with activity. Groups of neurons continue to fire unbidden, forming patterns of activity that neuroscientists are now using to produce stunning maps of the mind. Scientific American Mind's Ann Chin and I collaborated to bring you "Head Shots."
As you take in those colorful images, reflect for a moment on the marvel of your eyes—another example of how the brain works behind the scenes. When your eyes focus, they do not zero in on one spot: they actually dart around, using tiny subconscious movements called microsaccades. These motions keep your vision healthy, but they can also reveal your hidden desires, as Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen L. Macknik write in "Shifting Focus." Paradoxically enough, although we strive—and sometimes manage—to control our thoughts and actions, our brain often seems to have a mind of its own.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The ending was a bitter pill to swallow for fans of the New York Knicks last season. Falling to the Indiana Pacers the way they did in the Eastern Conference semifinals, getting pushed around and basically overwhelmed by a healthier and more defensively sound team, exposed the weaknesses that were there all along.
That crash landing in the playoffs might explain the lack of buzz surrounding these Knicks as the start of 2013-14 season nears. As we get closer to tip-off of the regular season, you hear about the Pacers, Chicago Bulls and even the Brooklyn Nets as teams the Heat need to worry about before anyone mentions the Knicks.
There's no love for the Knicks these days and you have wonder: Why?
The reasons for the lukewarm interest in the Knicks are varied. There was no free agent splash over the summer (sorry Metta World Peace). There was no miraculous recovery for Amar'e Stoudemire. Carmelo Anthony needed time to heal his battered body in an attempt to recover from the pounding he took last season. J.R. Smith didn't exactly distinguish himself in the offseason either with a five-game suspension looming at the start of the regular season.
It's a lesson plenty of would-be contenders learn when their results don't match the expectations. And for a time last season, the Knicks, not the Pacers, looked like the team that would challenge the Miami Heat for that trip to The Finals.
Everyone seems to have forgotten all of the positive work the Knicks did last year, finishing with a 54-28 record, winning their first playoff series in over a decade and coach Mike Woodson finishing third in Coach of the Year voting.
Woodson's teams in Atlanta got progressively better in each of his six seasons without the Hawks ever making the sort of free agent splash that usually spurs a dramatic rise in a team's fortunes. Woodson, despite a legion of vocal critics, is one of a handful of coaches in the league with a proven track record of taking a disjointed group and making sure they compete at a high level.
And disjointed might be a kind word for the group the Knicks will suit up this season. The Raymond Felton–Pablo Prigioni backcourt tandem is interesting, to say the least, and the Iman Shumpert-Smith battle at shooting guard promises to deliver plenty of drama (and potentially headaches for Woodson) throughout the season.
(Shumpert insists he's playing with a "chip on his shoulder" that could help fuel the Knicks early on, and that's a good thing.)
Call me crazy, but I think World Peace is going to be a fit and rookie swingman Tim Hardaway Jr. is certainly going to be a factor. The only glaring question for me is if Andrea Bargnani can revive his career as the floor-spacing stretch-4 the Knicks need to free everyone else up to play to their specific strengths?
You never know what you're going to get with Amar'e because of his injury issues and even with an offseason worth of work on his jump shot it's hard to lean too hard on Tyson Chandler for the offensive help Bargnani should be able to provide immediately.
Ultimately, the pieces are in place for the Knicks to battle for a top four spot in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. That's just a fact, even if no one outside of the Knicks' locker room believes it.

This is blasphemy!
Not for the Jesus stuff, but because the guy keeps referring to The Doctor as "Doctor Who". That's not his name.

Or, you could just say that the "The" is implied and he forgot a comma. "[The] Doctor, who will save us from the Dalek invasion of 2168". :)

- Sir Mildred said...
I don't think he's saying it is the Doctor that will save us, but rather it is the TV Show itself! Much like how it isn't really Jesus who will save us, but the Bible itself will.

Jesus is always coming back as an archetype. You should maybe find a personal Jesus, somebody you think possesses the quality of a "messiah."

- November 18, 2011 at 2:56:00 AM GMT+1
- SilentLaughter said...
@Andrew - yes we're on the 11th right now, but see the copyright on the bottom of the comic? It was written in 2007, at which point we were all enjoying the billowing coat of the 10th doctor. That makes the numbers add up properly - yes Jesus came back from death once, but the Doctor (at time of publishing) came back eight more times than that, making a total of nine regens, making him the 10th Doctor. See? All is right with the world.

Yep. The messiah continues to be a popular figure in our culture. Anyone, I feel, who is irked by the parallels between The Doctor and Jesus Christ has missed the point of both Doctor Who and the Holy Bible by a long-shot.

- www.gwotton.ca said...
The difference is that Evangelical types (of any sect, religion or world-view) insist that you MUST accept their perspective. Whoovians, Trekkies, etc... have an emotional investment in a show, story and ideology, but they do not insist that all must conform. Evangelical Atheists are of the opinion that, if you believe in a God you're an idiot. You must conform to their world view. Evangelican Christians are the same way... except with the history of slaughtering millions of non-believers. Loving a story, following an ideology or being a "Fan" are nowhere near the same thing as an Evangelist.

- Jeremiah said...
I'm a Christian and am in no ways offended. People of "faith" should have enough faith to laugh at their belief's short-comings. No religion is perfect, and IS built largely on mythology. For me, being a rational thinker and a believer, there is no incongruity between spirituality and logic. Christianity like all modern religions is based on a tradition of wisdom that is time-tested; maybe it doesn't always work, but the lessons are generally good. This aspect of religion is way more attractive then the mythology, which let's be honest, I can certainly get from any form of fiction. Should I be branded a heretic by my fellow Christians for agreeing that much of our religion literally is a fictionalized version of a real person?? While there are problems associated with any religion, I do not let them interfere with my relationship with my God. And I believe in the kind of God who wouldn't be offended at me laughing at some smart and seriously funny webcomix!

Thank you all for the comments. I was... hum... away, so to say, for a while (yeah, I know it's an understatement), and I was really surprised to see this little entry got so many views and comments. I hope you also visited the creator's site, HomeOnTheStrange.com (it is and was linked with both images) -- he's got many other great cartoons.
And of course I know it's called "The Doctor". When I set the title I got distracted by the "I follow the path of DOCTOR WHO" line in the first image, which was right before my eyes. Changed the title now, but the URL will have to remain (it's been linked in a number of places and it wouldn't be nice to break those links).

New Big Finish Doctor Who trilogy announced
Press release
The Seventh Doctor and UNIT's scientific advisor Dr Elizabeth Klein (Tracey Childs) return in three Doctor Who audio plays from Big Finish this summer – and they'll be facing some of the Time Lord's oldest foes…
The trilogy begins in July with Persuasion, which is written by Jonathan Barnes, author of novels The Somnabulist and The Domino Men, and writer of The Adventure of the Perfidious Mariner for Big Finish's Sherlock Holmes range.
It finds the Doctor co-opting UNIT scientific advisor Dr Elizabeth Klein in his search for a Nazi scientist who possesses the key to a highly secret alien technology. What he doesn't realise is that Klein's eager young assistant Will Arrowsmith will be coming along for the ride...

DrAlfonso Orozco C.'s curator insight, April 21, 2015 2:11 PM
Terminas bien Tu Educaciòn? ..--Finnish Education.
AnnC's curator insight, September 30, 2013 7:20 PM
We need to create a culture that respects the teaching profession as much as any other as will create our future leaders.
Vrinda Shingdia's curator insight, December 6, 2013 6:48 PM
I applaud the approach on education taken by Finland. Staying clear of a content-driven, test-based system is clearly the way to go based on their success rate! Relying on standardized testing to measure students' success only demoralizes the ability of the students (especially those who are not good test-takers), and even the teachers since they too are judged and evaluated based on how their students perform. Testing tolerance simply strips children of their confidence and teachers of their ability to creatively teach, and as a result disables children from achieving their maximum potential.
The respect that Finnish teachers have is also drastically different to that of the U.S. where the notorious phrase is, "those can't do, teach." The enforcement of educators having a Masters degree and undergoing extensive training for entry and preparation seems to be the reason why that level of respect is upheld. The fact that only one of ten teachers is accepted to teacher colleges is a clear indication of the rigour and competitiveness of the program. This type of structure ensures that only the best of the best become teachers of the future leaders of the nation.
PeterT's curator insight, August 30, 2013 8:45 AM
I have been on the BERA Council for several years so you might expect me to be pro educational research. Indeed, I do genuinly believe that education research matters and spend quite a lot of my time engaging with research. However, I think that this report helps to illustrate some of the problems with outcomes from educational research - its often wordy, self-serving and lacks punch.
I was hoping for a hard hitting report that gave convincing concrete examples of educational research that had impacted on practice (either directly or through the development of theory) - I wasn't convinced by what I read. :O(

If The Aristotlian Society are finally embracing online dissemination then surely the rest of philosophy will eventually follow... even if they are a bit late to the party!

We often think of ice breakers at the beginning of a school year or at the introduction of a new course. These could be used through out the year.

Great to see the student's work! This is a nice example that veers creatively into flipped classroom territory.

Openers, Icebreakers - can be done with Web 2.0 tools like wallwisher
PeterT's curator insight, August 30, 2013 3:54 AM
This could equally well have been categorised under assessment (http://www.scoop.it/t/assessment-by-peter-twining).
Knowing what works will become more important than knowing why it works - though we will still need theory. This has massive implications for research (as well as practice).
I have to say that the notion that the challenge to privacy of big data is more like 'Minority Report' than '1984' is somewhat terrifying!

Very true we all learn best when ti si our idea. Witnessed it in class during curiosity block.

Yes sure, but how much can one allow students to decide? Shouldn't there be some degree of control?

Documentum: From Out-of-Step to Tried-And-TrueBy Mel Duvall | Posted 2002-10-11 Print
Dossier: After creating one of the first large-scale document-management systems built on database technologies, Documentum began to slide. Now the company is poised to rebound.
In the early 1990s, Documentum offered one of the first large-scale document-management systems built on database technologies. A few years later, though, Documentum lost business to startup competitors who moved faster to create products for Web publishing. Today, Docu-mentum's tried-and-true approach could be paying off. Its losses aren't as steep as rivals and it's adding Web publishing features to its core document-management platform just as its largest customers are moving in that direction.
Since then, Wayne Aiello, VP of e-business services, says Corporate Express rolled out other applications including one this summer that allows customers to compile product-usage reports. "In the past, a customer would request a report by phone, and an employee would have to find the invoices and fax it back to the customer. Some of our invoices for clients like HMOs can be hundreds of pages long, so it's a very time-consuming process."
Towers Perrin, a human resources specialist, has used Documentum for about three years, primarily to manage internal documents. John Mallon, IT applications development manager, says his company is beginning to deliver content, such as changes in IRS and 401(k) rules, to clients over the Web.
Overall, he's satisfied with Documentum. "I'd heard that it could be somewhat difficult to deploy, but that wasn't our experience," says Mallon. "They [Documentum] really dedicated a lot of time to us."
Pharmaceutical firm Chiron decided this year to dump its Documentum system in favor of one from Open Text. Project manager Seth Gillespie says Documentum spent too much time worrying about how to port documents onto the Web and not enough on improving its internal corporate document-management system.
The slap hurts double for Documentum. Gillespie was vice president of the West Coast Documentum Users Group.

I had a great time on Wednesday meeting Ysolda. I got to relax and knit with her and several other awesome knitters at Nina in Chicago.
I admired her sample suitcase that she brought and shared some of my knitting.
This is Ysolda's Hap Blanket pattern (rav link) that I knit up in Rowan Scottish Tweed Aran and Plymouth Homestead.
I also just finished her Cairn hat and mitts earlier this week. Here's a picture of the mitts meeting the designer. : )
Ysolda didn't have any mitts with her sample suitcase so mine get to join her during the remainder of her US trip. The Cairn fingerless mitts (rav link) were knit with Lorna's Laces Green Line dk and Colinette Cadenza in the Large size with US 5 needles.
I made the 22" size of the Cairn hat (rav link) with Queensland Kathmandu dk and Noro Cashmere Island. Those two yarns made a wonderfully squishy pair. I especially like the garter stitch at the top of the this hat.
I started working on a garter stitch foot stool with a simple pattern found on this site.
While at the shop I recognized Eliza who is ifandany (rav profile link) and met her friend Jill who is Juneberrystar on ravelry. It was so cool meeting all these people in person.
After visiting at the shop the four of us had a delicious dinner at the Earwax Cafe in Wicker Park and there were cupcakes involved. mmm.
Anyway, I'm excited to see the people I met at Nina more this summer.
I'm aiming to get out the pattern for the botanic hat (rav link) later this month. It keeps getting pushed back because I was working on a couple other designs and I still need to work out a couple more sizes for the hat, but I did just finish knitting a version with a folded ribbed brim (rav link) with Malabrigo and Plymouth Boku.
I really love the way it hugs comfortably around my head and covers the ears.
This summer is sure to be a heavy knitting season. I seem to be working with just as much wool despite these warm days.

Birthday Message to My Son
Happy Birthday, Cameron! Nineteen years old. Where has the time gone? In a few short months you will have earned your high school diploma and will be preparing for a new phase in life. I hope you understand what a monumental accomplishment this is. I distinctly remember considering moving you to a new school for your high school years, and eliminating any school that only offered a diploma as its only exit point. I really didn't think you'd be able to earn a high school diploma. But you've proven me wrong. Not only that, I've seen very little other than A's on your report card for quite some time now. I'm sorry I ever doubted your capabilities and your hard work ethic.
Speaking of work ethic, I am so proud of how you have taken to the working world. You have proven yourself to be a reliable and enthusiastic employee. When you first shared your dream of owning a pizza restaurant all those years ago, I thought for sure that dream would fade after spending hours washing dishes in a commercial kitchen. And again, you proved me wrong. You love working, and would never dream of shirking your responsibilities. Even when your foot was broken in your bike accident, you were raring to get back to work. I don't doubt that one day you will reach your dream of owning your own restaurant. You're willing to learn and willing to work. That can't be said of everyone, but it definitely can be said of you.
As we look at the next opportunity for you, ideally in a postsecondary placement, I know that your independence will serve you well. Your pride is evident when it comes to your ability to handle yourself without me hanging over your shoulder. Moving away from home will be a big learning experience. And I won't be surprised if I am the one that ends up doing most of the learning. It's so hard for me not to speak for you and not do for you. You and I have always had this unspoken language between us, and I've always felt like part of my job as your mother is to understand you better than anyone else. It's nearly impossible for me to sit by and do nothing when language fails you in a given situation. I want to speak for you and explain your feelings. But that's not my job anymore. At least, it's not my full-time job anymore. You do just fine when I keep my own mouth shut, but I'm afraid I'm still learning the art of silence. But know that if you ever do need me to speak up for you, I will do so in a skinny minute.
I have many fond memories of your childhood, but one of my fondest was when you were just 4 years old. It was a particularly dark time for me as a single mom discovering that you were going to have some significant challenges in school. We were doing chalk drawings on the driveway, and you said, "Draw Mommy." After I obliged, you said, "Draw Mommy sad." As I added teardrops to the stick figure's face, you bent down and patted those tear drops on the driveway, and said, "Oh … Poor Mommy."
I'm afraid we may well need to "Draw Mommy sad" again on the day you leave for your next adventure. But the sadness is purely selfish, for I will be missing you terribly, but the pride I have in you will soon dry the tears. You're a fine young man, Cameron. Any part I had in who you are is the greatest compliment I could ask for. Happy Birthday!

After seeing a lost-and-found ad, a North Port couple embarks on a three-day treasure hunt to find John Mikula's ring, which lost its stone in a fierce Vietnam War battle.
West Point Class Ring. Lost near Golden Beach. Reward. Call …
The classified ad ran Feb. 27 in the Herald-Tribune's LOST category, its 10 words hardly conveying the mix of hope and desperation behind them.
John Mikula's ring meant a lot to him. To explain why, he tells two stories.
First of all, he says, at West Point, there's a ceremony when graduates receive their rings. It's a big deal. More recently, the families of graduates who have died return the rings to West Point. They are melted and recast for new recipients, to provide them an extra bond with those who have gone before them.
In the irreverence common to the military, West Point officers are often called "ring knockers," a reference to the higher-ups who sit at desks and try to call attention to themselves and their positions of authority by drumming their rings.
Ring gets damaged? "He couldn't communicate with Washington any more because the crystal was gone." Get a bad assignment? "His ring wasn't working."
You get the picture.
In 1967, shortly after Mikula bought his ring and while he trained as a ranger at Fort Benning, Ga., someone broke into his locker and stole it. He searched every pawn shop in Columbus, Ga., with no luck. Soon, he took his first assignment at Fort Hood, Texas, where a former West Point classmate called him.
The classmate had been on an airborne operation when he noticed the private next to him wearing a West Point ring. Knowing an enlisted man would not have graduated from West Point, he asked to see the ring. He spied Mikula's name, tracked him down and returned the ring to him.
Six months later, Mikula was in Vietnam. He commanded a company in the Army's 4th Infantry Division. They were advancing up a hill in the central highlands when North Vietnamese regulars ambushed them.
A firefight ensued. When it ended, Mikula looked down. His hand was bleeding. Then he glanced at his ring. Its blue spinel gemstone had been shot out. He looked over to his first sergeant, who was digging a hole with his helmet.
"Hey Top," he said. "Look at my ring."
The sergeant paused ever so slightly from his digging. "You goddamn West Pointers; you're worrying about your ring," he said. "Dig a hole!"
Mikula never did replace that stone.
The ring developed a legend of its own at West Point, where Mikula returned to finish out his military career, teaching Russian language from 1984-88. Cadets used to come to his home after hours to see the ring that had lost its stone during mortal combat.
If the ring has stories, so does Mikula.
Did he mention he played on legendary coach Bobby Knight's first team at Army? Mikula was the guard who didn't shoot that well. You might have heard of another guard on that team: Mike Krzyzewski.
Mikula was in Berlin when the Wall fell. He helped knock it down. He still has a piece at his home.
He was in Czechoslovakia when the Russians pulled out. He lined the road with the Czechs as the tanks and jeeps and trucks rolled past, heading back to the Soviet Union. The people along the road didn't throw rocks. They didn't jeer. They formed a silent gantlet to usher the occupiers from their land. Afterward, celebrations broke out in every town, Mikula says. People appeared with American flags they had hidden in their attics.
Mikula spent his post-Army career with a small consulting company that advised businesses expanding to eastern Europe.
He met his wife, Vera, in Australia, while on leave from Vietnam. Within two days, they knew they wanted to marry, which they did shortly afterward in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio, before Mikula's second tour.
The couple has been renting a condo in the Golden Beach neighborhood of Venice, where they plan to move as soon as they sell their house in Annapolis, Md.
That brings us to last Thanksgiving. Mikula was on the beach and in the water with his grandson for much of the day. Then he noticed his ring missing. When he discovered the ring was not in the tissue box where he often leaves it, the family scoured the house. No ring. For two days, Mikula walked the beach, retracing his steps. Still no ring.
Storms came and went. The topography of the beach changed. In February, on a whim, Mikula placed the ad.
That's how he met Jay and Karen Ganz of North Port. Jay, a retired pharmacist, and Karen, a former nurse, search for treasures along beaches, metal detectors and wire baskets in hand.
They're good at it; so good, lifeguards give their phone number to people who lose valuables. The couple have found 82 gold and platinum jewelry pieces, mostly rings, in the 32 years they've plied their hobby. In many cases, they've had to do some detective work to reunite items with the owners who lost them.
On March 11, Karen Ganz entered 65-degree water that was too rough for Jay, who has two artificial hips, to navigate. Waves tore her first scoop from her hands and emptied half its contents into the water. On her second scoop, just before she was ready to call it quits because of the conditions, she found the ring.
"It was like something drew me to that spot," she says. "We had already told ourselves that if we never retrieved another piece of jewelry, we wanted to get that ring. It meant so much to him. It brings tears to your eyes."
Mikula calls the Ganzes a wonderful couple. As for the ring experience, "It's just life," he says. "How things happen, there are so many variables."
On Friday morning, he ran another classified ad, this time under the category FOUND.
"West Point Ring found by Jay and Karen Ganz in Gulf and returned to owner. Thanks to all who offered help."

Author Susan Fales-Hill is a woman with truly discriminating tastes. So, in 1997, when she and her husband, Aaron Hill, were looking for an apartment, she knew exactly what she wanted.
First, it had to have an Edwardian or Victorian feeling.
Second, it had to be big enough to both start a family and house her huge wardrobe.
Third, it would be ideal if it could be on the Upper West Side, where she'd lived throughout her childhood.
After looking for about six months, she found almost everything she'd wanted in a 1908 Edwardian building. The only problem was that it wasn't on the West Side — it was on Park Avenue.
But it did have a history: The building was one of the first apartment houses on Park Avenue.
"It has lovely touches," Fales-Hill says, "like high ceilings, working fireplaces and glass doors on the attended elevators. It just makes me feel like I have my own little 'Downton Abbey.' I think the old-fashioned feel of the place was what attracted me. My tastes tend to run 150 years before my birth."
Fales-Hill had a successful career in television — she was a writer for "The Cosby Show" and the head writer/producer for "A Different World," among other shows. So, she and her banker husband pooled all their money to pay for the apartment. "All our money," she says. "Everything."
That bought them a classic seven of 2,000 square feet with 10-foot ceilings, three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a maid's room and a formal dining room. "It was very important to me to have a separate dining room," says Fales-Hill, who has dinner there with her family almost every night and also enjoys entertaining. "Our dining room has pocket doors, and I think that's very Old World and charming."
Fales-Hill is the daughter of Haitian Broadway star Josephine Premice (among her shows: "Jamaica" and "A Hand Is on the Gate") and a patrician stockbroker, Timothy Fales, whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower. Her apartment is filled with memorabilia from both sides — family silver, antiques, hand-beaded vintage evening bags, ancestors' portraits, tiny silver slippers her mother collected and tons of photographs. "These are my treasures," she says.
And there are books — books all over the place. She herself is the author of "Always Wear Joy," a memoir of her mother, and the novel "One Flight Up." Her most recent book, "Imperfect Bliss," is a laugh-out-loud contemporary spin on "Pride and Prejudice."
Her life isn't all about letters, though. Fales-Hill loves to luxuriate in the pleasures of her apartment. "It's a refuge," she says. "I don't have a lot of things, but what I have brings back a lot of memories. I'm surrounded by the most joyous parts of my childhood and family history."
Still, she does have aspirations for a different kind of home in the future. She's 50 now and plans to kick aside all this gentility and return to the more chaotic Upper West Side when she's older.
"I'd like to die on the West Side," Fales-Hill says with a big smile. "I want to be an old lady at Zabar's with my walker knocking people out of the way."

"Books about social and ecological change
too often leave out a vital component:
how do we change ourselves
so that we are strong enough
to fully contribute to this great shift?
Active Hope fills this gap beautifully,
guiding readers on a journey of gratitude, grief,
interconnection and, ultimately, transformation."
Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine.
At the heart of this book is the idea that Active Hope is something we do rather than have. It involves being clear what we hope for and then playing our role in the process of bringing that about. The journey of finding, and offering, our unique contribution to the Great Turning helps us to discover new strengths, open to a wider network of allies and experience a deepening of our aliveness. When our responses are guided by the intention to act for the healing of our world, the mess we're in not only becomes easier to face, our lives also become more meaningful and satisfying.
The book guides the reader through a transformational process informed by mythic journeys, modern psychology, spirituality and holistic science. This process equips us with tools to face the mess we're in and play our role in the collective transition, or Great Turning, towards a life-sustaining society.
Active Hope is published by New World Library, with an edition in Australia and New Zealand published by Finch Publishing
There is a German edition - please see here
And a Dutch edition - please see here
And a Turkish edition - please see here
There are also Korean and Japanese editions published - links coming soon.
There are currently plans to publish editions in Spanish, Italian and French.

CEOs Ask Market Basket Managers to Remove Protest Signs From Stores
Market Basket store managers have been instructed by co-CEOs Felicia Thornton and James Gooch to remove posters and other signs supportive of the reinstatement of Arthur T. Demoulas and an ongoing customer boycott.
An email sent Thursday from the CEOs to store directors—which means general managers in Market Basket lingo—asked that the stores' staff to: "Remove all signs, posters or written material and drawings that are posted or hanging in the store, storefront or any part of the store that is NOT: Product or price related…Providing information about store layout or department…(Or r)equired to be posted by Federal, State or Local government.''
Boston.com confirmed the authenticity of the email with multiple store directors. A Market Basket spokesperson later confirmed it.
Market Basket stores have worn signage in support of ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas since his June firing, and have seen significantly more signs pop up inside and outside stores since a worker and customer movement for his reinstatement began in earnest in mid-July.
Customers have also taped receipts from other grocery stores on store doors in order to show the effect of their boycott during the past several weeks. Many customers are boycotting Market Basket.
The email from the co-CEOs also asked that all signage asking for donations to workers who are going unpaid during ongoing protests also be taken down, and asked that "items that are blocking docks or preventing load deliveries'' be removed.
The email did not set a deadline by which to remove the signs. It addressed the point after speaking about scheduling for the next week, saying store directors should continue to schedule full-time employees at their normal hours. The company's part-time workforce has had its hours cut significantly in light of the stores being largely empty of customers during the conflict.
The email referred to the dispute that has engulfed the company as an "unprecedented'' situation that "has obviously affected traditional production metrics.'' That could probably be taken as an acknowledgment that when executives need to ask management-level employees to remove signs that actively encourage customers to shop elsewhere from company property, things aren't going so good.
The full email can be read here.
Peter Sauchuk, the store director at the Gloucester Market Basket, said he would need more workers in order to follow the directive, noting he is down to about 10 to 12 workers per day due to part-time workers having their hours cut and there is little help in the front end, where most of the signs are.
John Sevastis, who runs one of the company's Fitchburg stores, was more defiant. "Unless I'm told by Arthur T. Demoulas to take down these signs, they're staying up,'' he said. Sevastis said he is asked daily by customers about the situation at the chain. "What's next?'' he said. "Do they also want us to take away the newspapers with ads (calling for the return of Arthur T. Demoulas)? Do they want us to muzzle the customers who are asking about it?''
Sevastis added that he felt the customer boycott has been strong enough that even if signs were taken down, it would persist. "It's the customers that will dictate what the next chapter of our story is,'' he said.
Friday marks a deadline imposed by Thornton and Gooch for the return of the company's headquarters and warehouse workers to their positions. Failure to do so, they have said, will be taken as the end of their employment with the company.
Arthur T. Demoulas, whose side of the family owns 49.5 percent of the company, is negotiating to buy the company from rival family members who own the rest of the chain.

Lea Schizas is with us today to talk about her writing life and work.
Interview with Lea Schizas, the author of Doorman's Creek and Bubba and Giganto: Odds Against Us.
Tell us about yourself first.
What can I say? I'm certifiably nuts, always busy and swamped, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Stressed brings out the creative juices in me and I get more things accomplished than when I have peace and quiet and all the time in the world.
But the sane part of me is a mommy of five children between the ages of 16 and 31. I'm also a mommy to a Bull Terrier and a Shi Tzu.
When did you start writing?
I always joke that I mistook my mommy's umbilical cord as a neat writing implement. In other words, I can't remember NOT writing in my life.
What genres have you written?
Published, I have a YA paranormal suspense thriller (Doorman's Creek), and a YA drama. However, I am writing mystery, paranormal, romance, sci-fi, and fantasy currently, along with a vamp/werewolf genre for an extra 'bite' of glee.
Is that your first book?
Actually, Doorman's Creek the screenplay was my very first full manuscript I wrote. About a year or so later I turned the screenplay into a novel.
Tell us about your book. What is it about?
Let me just explain that I love writing for the YA market because using teens as my characters I have the leeway to really spice things up with tons of surprises since teens react impulsively at times with their actions and reactions.
The book is about three teen boys, best friends since childhood, who are in search of a cave in Doorman's Creek they had spotted on a previous outing but never had the time to fully investigate. Within the dank cave they discover more than they anticipated…a skeleton and an unknown entity that pits them smack in the path of a serial killer.
My main character develops a sense of ESP right after the contact with the skeleton and sees through the eyes of the killer. Once a family member gets killed the boys realize they need to track down the killer before anyone else gets killed.
There are tons of surprises and twists and turns in the book and I had a blast writing it.
What inspired you to write this book?
I remember seeing the movie Eyes of Laura Mars with Faye Dunaway I believe where she sees through the eyes of the killer and had it always in the back of my mind to come up with a young adult story but incorporating some paranormal substance to the book, too. When I restarted my career late 90s that impulse to write this type of a book was still quite strong and I went for it.
How long did it take you to write it?
It took me about 3 months to write the screenplay but about a year to finetune and add background, the five senses and other areas to round off the novel.
Who is the publisher of your book?
Vickie Kennedy, publisher of eTreasures.com read and loved the book and immediately contracted it.
Where is it on sale?
You can find Doorman's Creek at the following venues:
Amazon – Paperback
Amazon (Kindle edition)
Tell us about your other books/work.
The other published book is a Young Adult drama – Bubba and Giganto: Odds Against Us. It's the story about two kids from opposite sides of the track – one is a tough kid battling fun of his name Bubba, and the other battling bullies at school. One of the two friends hides a secret that will prove to be a deadly move at one point. The whole concept of the novel is to show kids the affects and reasons behind bullying, solutions, and also to give one possible reason for actions by a bully.
Along the same theme is Libby the Odd Squirrel – about a white squirrel shunned by the gray squirrels until one brave action changes this situation. It's a picture story book aimed for 4 – 6 year olds and contracted by 4RV Publishing, my publisher for the book above, and due out early next year.
I also have I Don't Want a Haircut and Robbie and Katie Get a Hairy Scare by Guardian Angel Publishing due for release early next year. These books deal with interpretations of young kids on their first haircut experience. Tons of images for a young reader to enjoy, followed with humor to keep their interest.
Finally, my last contracted book, a nonfiction one, Autism Epidemic: Shaking the System, is a motivational and helpful insight to autism. The book is not only for families with children who have autism, but a great resource for anyone to help bring more autism awareness to the general public and to sensitize them about the needs and overall picture of how these precious children react and act to certain situations. The book will be available in print this fall by Red Rose Publishing.
Then I have all of my other books, way too many to mention here, that I am currently working on.
What are the major challenges that you have faced in your career?
Time! Did I mention TIME! There's not enough time to accomplish everything on my plate. I have no idea who invented only 24 hours in a day. LOL! Other than that, I can't say I've faced any challenge.
Has the Internet helped you in your writing career?
The Internet has helped immensely. Through the great worldwide web I've met and kept in touch with many cyber pals, set up a few online ezines, an online writers conference, many helpful writing groups, and met my clients I freelance edit their manuscripts.
What do you advise new writers to do?
My biggest tip is to never give up if you've got a deep passion for writing. Rejections should only piss you off to prove you can do it. Don't listen to family and friends who state you are wasting your time. People who have no clue about the writing world don't understand the time necessary to build your good name, to build a readership, to build your promotional platform…keep plugging away and build yourself a tough outer shell. All reviews and critiques won't be glamorous. That's just a part of the business. Get used to it.
Thank you Lea!
I hope you all have enjoyed this interview as much as I have!
Happy writing!

BUT...I find myself struggling now to focus on one thing. As I sit here typing on my antiquated desktop (my laptop decided to go on permanent vacation this summer), I found I needed some quiet time for my brain to slowly begin to formulate some clear thoughts. I needed to find some takeaways from all this PD I've been shamelessly partaking in for several weeks now.
That is when this occurred to me...maybe in the rush to meet all the standards, pacing guides, and mandates and still provide our students with the hands-on, student-directed learning they crave, we bombard our students with so much stimulation that they struggle to actually form one clear and concise thought or sentence. More is not actually better.
We have no idea what is already going on in their heads. They already have a jumble of thoughts before they walk into our classroom. We need to make sure that we are making purposeful choices in what we bring into our classroom, whether it's a hands-on activity or a new tech tool. We need to ask: Is this the most powerful opportunity to support my students' learning or is it a fun activity that kind of relates to the topic at hand?
We are the content specialists and strategists in the classroom. It is our responsibility to provide our students with the BEST support that we can. We aren't doing them any favors by bombarding them with a lot of mediocre projects/stations/tools/activities that will cloud their minds from what is most important...their learning. They need the time to formulate ideas, plan projects, reflect on their progress, and set their own learning goals. By providing them the support and time that they need, we can tame those overstimulated brains and help them find their own paths to success.

Pink Says She Loves Being a Mom, But Misses Her Whiskey
Pink was one of the biggest partiers in the pop scene for a while. While you never caught her stumbling out of nightclubs like a sloppy drunk mess, she made no secret of her love for throwing back booze. Since becoming a mom to adorable Willow Sage, though, Pink is throwing back milk, instead.
"It used to be whiskey, tears and cigarettes," Pink told PEOPLE of her vices. "Now it's [my baby's] kind of tears, no cigarettes and the color of poop. Pure joy. I miss the whiskey, not the cigarettes." We're glad she's nixed the smoking -- we love her voice and don't need it getting all gravelly and rough from all that tobacco. And let's be real, Kesha's got the whiskey market cornered by now.
Pink's upcoming album, 'The Truth About Love,' reflects her fun-loving signature attitude but with a more lighthearted edge and a little less seediness. "I do a lot of dancing now with [Willow] and I'm just happier," she said. "This album is a lot of rock and roll but it reflects that there's a dance party in our house … Your career goes up and down, but … at the end of the day, if I didn't do another thing, I'm blessed. I like myself more than I used to."
These days, Pink's partying has taken a much different turn. "We wake up and dance," she says of her hubby, Carey Hart, and baby. "[We] party naked in the hotel room," she laughed of her new tour antics. "It's a different kind of partying, with diapers and underwear."

Robin and Anita will be dancing to a song from Hairspray, but surely the hair and make-up team can't really have thought, 'If only Robin had some kind of wig on, he would look EXACTLY like Zac Efron.' Maybe they did. What we've ended up with is less Zac Efron, or any generic Link Larkin, and more Harry Connick Jr's older brother who runs a bingo hall.
Anyway. Let's concentrate.
Holly and Artem are first up tonight dancing the Cell Block Tango from Chicago, which should be amazing, only a) SOUND THE ARTEM BAD HAT SIREN, and b) every time Dave Archer's singers sing 'Lipschitz' all I can think is 'They are saying shit on the BBC and it is only 6.30! Heads will roll!' Miss W, my sofa companion who is not a Miss any more, remarks astutely that should Holly and Artem get to the final, they will revisit this routine and it will be amazing, but at the moment it is not. It needs more strength. Also, I am immaturely distracted by the fact that it really looks like Holly has no pants on.
Dan is doing the Viennese Waltz in a pleather waistcoat, which, once again, is a challenge for any man. He is dancing to Someone To Love from, I assume, We Will Rock You. I am rocking, this is true, but more backwards and forwards in a 'this is quite uncomfortable' type of way. Dan at least manages some smiling this week, but I am really worried he is becoming Craig Kelly. This was the fate I originally envisaged for Jason Donovan, which J-Don escaped by being good at dancing. But Dan has the Kelly belief that things have gone pretty well just because he hasn't actually forgotten any steps – when really they haven't. Oh Dan.
It's Anita and Robin Connick Jr! There's a bit of joshing around with a giant fake can of hairspray at the start, presumably designed to match Robin's giant fake hair, and then they get down to a frantic jive, during which Anita commendably manages to sustain her 'Best fun ever!' face from start to finish. The judges give her little credit for thrashing her way through it at the age of 62, but perhaps that's because they, like Bruce, think Anita is trapped in a timewarp of 20 years ago, what with his constant banging on about the Queen Vic. SHE DOESN'T WORK THERE ANY MORE, BRUCE.
At this point, Bruce welcomes one of his favourite singers Jack Jones to the show, to the indifference of the majority. Unfortunately all I know of Jack Jones is that he sang misogyny anthem Wives And Lovers. Presumably he sang other songs too.
Alex and James are dancing the Viennese Waltz to Memory from Cats. James loves these slow numbers, but I don't think Elaine Paige would love what Dave Arch's singers are doing to her song. They do a graceful and elegant job, despite the fact that Alex's nan has collared her backstage and insisted she carry a large handkerchief in each hand 'just in case'.
Rory has a bit of a tantrum in training, but don't worry, Rory, because guess who's here to help you. Yes, it's Lionel Blair! I know, not ideal, but it's the best they could do. Times are hard. Rory and Erin dance the quickstep to Top Hat (I think) and Rory negotiates a very difficult 'cane catch'. Lionel must take a lot of credit for this, and I like to imagine him throwing the cane to Rory again and again, while pulsating motivational music plays, shouting 'NO! WRONG! AGAIN!' until Rory can do it blindfold. The routine is great, not least because Rory does not do any impressions.
Hairwise, Lulu seems to have come tonight as Felicity Kendal who, coincidentally, is also in the audience. They are saluting The Good Life Musical - an off-off-off-Broadway hit from 1984. Oh wait, that's a mistake, Lulu and Brendan are actually doing the rumba. Urgh, the rumba. Lulu has a little self-hating cry in training about how useless she is. MAN UP, LULU. Brendan is wearing a cape his mum has made him and Lulu is in a nightie. The BBC cuts have swathed right through the wardrobe department, but there still seems to be plenty of cash left for IDIOTIC PROPS. There's a chance this is actually a good rumba, but to me it still looks like a cheesy old load of interpretive bollocks.
Nancy and Anton! Dancing a tango! What can possibly go wrong?! Actually, not that much! Which is not to say it's any good. There seems to be a creative struggle in the training room, with Nancy suggesting her own ideas for choreography. The result is that she mostly pouts and looks sexy, while Anton moves around her in another terrible hat, although it's not clear if this is Nancy's idea or Anton's. They have a kind of push-and-shove argument at the end of the routine, and, again, I have no idea whether this was planned.
Audley and Natalie are dancing to It's Too Darn Hot, so they go training in a heated bikram yoga room. YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID? THE ROOM IS LITERALLY TOO DARN HOT. This series, Natalie seems to be a shadow of her former, dementedly competitive self. I think in previous years, she's caught a whiff of potential victory early on and pursued it like a bloodhound, but she seems more zen these days – although on reflection perhaps doing dance training in a near-sauna is Not Entirely Normal. Their quickstep is big fun and reminds you that Natalie is pretty handy when it comes to the old choreography.
Following the model of Gethin Jones and Chris Hollins, I was expecting Dann Lobb to be the one who went on a journey this series, but I think it's going to be Robbie Savage. He may even be there already. See how he's falling in love with dancing! See his bromance with Russell Grant! See how he's on the verge of tears when the judges praise him! See how he bonds with his adorable children! It's only week three. Goodness knows where he's got left to go during the next seven weeks. It will have to be a major religious conversion or gender realignment at this rate. They dance the tango to Gimme Gimme Gimme by Abba, which is, on paper, gold but we must still salute the genius of Ola. Poor Harry must weep when he watches this. Also, Robbie seems to have found the right level of attack – which is to say controlled aggression, not actual bodily harm.
Russell and Flavia are dancing a foxtrot. Russell is so relentlessly positive about everything, it's a wonder he manages to get anything done. It must take at least 20 minutes to make a cup of tea once he's said how grateful he is for the kettle, the water, the teabags and the milk, and told the sugar how happy he is to have it in his life. It's a great song, a great dress (for Flavia) and great choreography, and Russell is not going home any time soon, and I'm exhausted just thinking about how blessed and thankful that's going to make him.
Jason Donovan is taking on the tango to I Will Survive. It sounds like it shouldn't work. It is genius. Jason's 'attack' faces are especially spectacular, and should really have a show of their own. I imagine they would constitute an excellent anti-ageing regime, when done in combination with some other exercises for the facial muscles. Perhaps this is what keeps Jason looking so young. And perhaps he could pass them on to any fellow contestants who may be taking a less natural approach to staying young. Not that I'm singling anyone out, obviously. Oh hi, Lulu! You look nice today. I suspect Jason is cheating slightly by replicating some moves he's previously performed in Priscilla, but sod it. Len calls Jason 'The Midwife' because he keeps delivering. I wonder how long Len has been waiting to use that one.
Pacha and Chelsee are channelling Jersey Boys, although Pacha looks more like a showjumper. I would love it if someone used a live horse in one of their showdances. Their cha-cha-cha feels pretty much like their salsa, and I'm a little bit bored (despite Chelsee's ability) so please can they have something radically different next week. Not the rumba though, obviously.
Harry is jiving to Grease Lightning with no shirt on. Even Aliona cannot blight this for me. Harry's 'jive action', as Strictly afficionados say, is brilliant, and I feel a little sad that he's having to spunk it in an early week of the competition, instead of being able to play it like a joker in week 7 or week 8, when his chances of making it through to the next week are tighter. When they finish the routine, Harry breaks off IMMEDIATELY to do a cute 'Thank god that's over' face. Aww. He also deals admirably with Bruno's borderline sexual harassment.
And that's that. Contrary to my expectations, Broadway week has been pretty awesome. In the end, it's Dan that goes home before he can even start his journey. I thought the female voting public would carry him through, but I suspect he was betrayed by his fellow mid-table under-the-radar contestants (Alex, Rory) having a really strong week. Anton, who is also in the bottom two, looks surprised and a tiny bit gutted at his own reprieve.

Image of a dream: translated lyrics of Dariush's song "تصویر رویا"
Moonlight floods the night شب از مهتاب سر میره
The moon full in water تمام ماه تو ابه
like the image of a dream شبیه عکس یک رویاست
When you sleep, the world sleeps تو خوابیدی جهان خوابه
Earth goes around you زمین دور تو میگرده
Time is in your hands زمان دست تو افتاده
Look تماشا کن
Your silence has deepened the night سکوت تو عجب عمقی به شب داده
In sleep, you are like a sketch تو خواب انگار طرحی از
of a flower, the moon and a smile گل و مهتاب و لبخندی
The night begins from شب از جای شروع میشه
where you close your eyes که تو چشماتو میبندی
I hold you تورا اغوش میگیرم
my body fills with dream تنم سریز رویا شه
the world, the size of a lullaby جهان قد یه لالایی
that fits in my arms توی اغوش من جاشه
I hold you تورا اغوش میگیرم
It becomes darker هوا تاریک تر میشه
God comes closer than your hands خدا از دست های تو به من نزدیکتر میشه
The earth goes around you زمین دور تو میگرده
The time is in your hand زمان دست تو افتاده
Look تماشا کن
how your silence has deepened the night سکوت تو عجب عمقی به شب داده
The house fills تمام خونه پر میشه
of this dreamy image از این تصویر رویایی
look تماشا کن
look تماشا کن
how cruelly beautiful you are چه بی رحمانه زیبایی

What the lyric says has finally happened to me following years of disbelief in the concept of durable romantic love. It doesn't make me cry.
It has instead given me s sense of perpetual longing. As if every day, hour, minute and second I hope for something fulfilling to happen. Something to either turn things upside down when they are not on the right track; or to accentuate them when they are.
I would consider the lyrics of this particular song to be among the more romantic genre of Daryoush's songs rather than the older melancholic ones (e.g. wheat's scent; black and white; dead-end)
Even among his older ones though one could find lyrics similar to this one. For instance, this one really reminds mr of the song 'if your eyes say yes!'.

Naj, I went to my first ever Irooni pop concert a few weeks ago. Faramarz Aslani & Dariush. I'd heard a couple of Aslani's songs, but never, ever heard a word of Dariush before ..... cheghadar naaleh mikoneh! hamash ghor mizaneh o gheryeh mikoneh! And in between songs, he gave us sociopolitical lectures ...
But he has a great voicE! =)

I have no clue what you are saying!
Ped, LOL, he does moan a little too much doesn't he? This is why I could tolerate this song, it's kind of soft and velvety. I have never been to an Iranian concert; only once to Nazeri's 19 years ago; a DISASTER as they had over-sold tickets and a fight broke in the middle of his "chahchah" :D
Oh I lied, I have been to Kiosk concert! Equally awful, bad sound engineering!
Goatman, thanks for letting me know how you perceive it. this song makes me think of my little sister... she is kind of my "baby". this is why I cried to it, and posted it here for posterity :)

Ped, here's the truth; it's the "look, your silence has deepened the night" that touches me most; it touches me because I have been AMAZED by the courage and dignity of my sister in the hands of the "ultimate" disease ... her silence and her ironic smile ...
yes there is something CRUELLY beautiful to her dignity; in humbles and humiliates me who nag all the time and fear all the time and am a total bitch all the time ...
Anyways, blah blah blah ...
- Friday, November 04, 2011 12:57:00 PM
Naj, you don't have to publish this. The discussion on your thread is much more interesting.
But here is what I mean. I think the following three songs are examples of Daryoush's melancholic songs.
Scent of wheat
Black & White
Take Me To My Home (Homeland)
In contrast these links are among Daryoush's romantic songs (I think these are not melancholic just pure romantic similar to the one you have shared):
If Yours Eyes Say Yes !
Love Looks Like Bird's Flight
The Night Of Moonlight

Anonymous, since I know who you are, i shrug and say:
don't you really have anything better do do in life than to spend time writing irrelevant things?
I suggest you make your blog and "ezhar-e fazl" about Dariush there! Seriously, your "analysis" is boring me :)
But I hope someone will find it useful!
