ID and Other Reflections: "Digital Mindset": What is it All About?
"Digital mindset" seems to have become another buzzword--rather buzz-phrase to be grammatically precise--whenever the conversation (online or offline) veers toward social business, social learning, collaboration, and other 21st Century phenomenon in general. One of the oft-repeated reasons for the failure of Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs) in organizations is often attributed to a lack of "digital mindset" in the employees or leadership or both. It has become a specter looming over everyone's head. This post is an attempt to distill some of the skills/attitude/knowledge that possibly make up the "digital mindset". In an attempt to crystallize the skill sets, some of the finer nuances have been lost. It is also important to remember that there is no black and white distinction between digital and non-digital mindsets. It's a spectrum, and we need to move along the spectrum to make the best of the world we are in. The trigger for this post comes from a tweet-chat hosted by @WiproLPS with @bill_fischer sharing his insights on this topic. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate as I'd have wanted to but was lurking and following the stream. For those who missed it, here's the compiled chat in Storify. Thanks to @nidhisand for putting it together.
As a precursor to my description of the defining characteristics of a digital mindset, here's a diagram created by Jacob Morgan--author of The Future of Work--encapsulating 14 Principles of the Future Organization.
This diagram, by putting in perspective the characteristics of a workplace of the 21st Century, acts as a trigger to define certain qualities that everyone (employees, leaders, managers, partners, customers, and all other stakeholders) need to inculcate today. And these characteristics are what we term as "digital mindset". It's a way of being, an evolving philosophy. One of @bill_fischer tweets encapsulates the spirit of an organization that embodies the "digital mindset":
To substantiate my understanding, I also spoke to my daughter--a quintessential 23 year old--who juggles her education, projects and social life with apparent ease. Some of the insights gleaned from her adds depth to my analysis. I have noted down my cumulative understanding here.
A "digital mindset" is not about using technology alone although that is a large part of it. While heralded by the growth and evolution of disruptive tech, it is characterized by a different perspective of the world. An individual with a "digital mindset" understands the power of technology to democratize, scale and speed up every form of interaction and action. Technology is playing a transformative role in virtually every domain today-- from IT and Telecom to Retail and Manufacturing. To cite an example: a 3D printer can reduce the design to prototype time dramatically while also allowing the flexibility to tweak the design as the model evolves (created). Technology is thus an amplifier. Having a digital mindset is the ability to grasp this spectrum of impact that the Network Era has on us and thus truly appreciate the futility of actions like knowledge hoarding for power, enforcing hierarchy, building siloed work environments, following old world processes, and such. The tweets by +Abhijit Bhaduri from the tweet chat synthesize the core qualities.
I have tried to contrast the characteristics of the Industrial Era with the Digital. While it is obviously not always black and white, it's an attempt to delineate what differentiates this era from the ones gone by.
Agile and adaptable - Agility here is more than just adapting to change. In the age of disruptive tech, we must be able to foresee and change before the need to change arises. Agility in this context encompasses the skill of being able to scan the landscape and ecosystem of one's domain of work, keep pace with what is happening at the edges, and evolve to remain relevant. In the digital era, this would mean being comfortable with technology, seeing change as an opportunity, and accepting the new ways of working without feeling threatened. It means a comfort with ambiguity that would have been undreamed of in the process-driven era of assembly line production.
Flexible about time and space: In a connected world where we are very often working, learning, and interacting with individuals across the globe as a normal course of life, time takes on a different meaning. We have to let go off a rigid definition of "work time" versus "personal time". We often complete personal work during the nine-to-five slot and collaborate with global colleagues post dinner to co-create proposals for clients. While many organizations still insist on office presence, it is becoming a thing of the past and anytime, anywhere work is becoming the mantra. What this means for IT, Cyber-security and other infrastructure-related challenges is a vast topic of debate and exploration. The emerging reality is that work and life are becoming one. Does this mean work will take over every bit of our time? It might if we let it. It also means we have to be excellent managers of time, have a clear vision of our life's purpose and devote time to what is important to us accordingly. It means taking full responsibility for all aspects of our life...
Comfortable with ambiguity: In today's landscape, we are more often than not operating in the Complex zone of the Cynefin framework. I often refer to this sense-making model because it provides a simple yet powerful heuristic for evaluating where we stand in relation to other contexts. I have included the diagram below for reference:
When we operate in the Complex zone, we can only connect cause and effect in hindsight. Exceptions, unusual business models disrupting traditional ways of operating, disruptive tech with their emergent nature, all fall in the Complex category. One needs to be agile, adaptive, and vigilant to operate in this zone.
Taking risks and exploring: A digital mindset includes using technology as a tool for exploration. Possessing a traveler's exploratory nature and an innate curiosity to go beyond one's defined work role is a critical skill to have today. Complex, unknown work and exceptions cannot be captured by pre-defined Job Descriptions. Those who can seize the opportunity to explore and learn beyond the call of duty will be the ones who remain relevant, fearless in the face of change and bring value to themselves and the organizations they work for. The doors that a networked world have opened for us can be the playground.
Open to learning and collaboration: "Collaboration" seems to be the mantra of the era. Whether it is about remaining agile and connected to the edges or about completing a project, collaboration gets called upon. And along with it comes "collaborative learning". In the Complex zone, past experiences and expertise are not necessarily reliable predictors of the future. And an individual with a handful of frameworks and heuristics cannot make sense of the immensely complex and rapidly changing ecosystem. Innovating and creating value in this context require a coming together of cognitively diverse individuals who come with varied experiences and different ways of seeing. Collaboration is the only way to make sense in a complex world and define emergent practices that work.
Respectful of diverse perspectives: Collaboration alone won't suffice unless it is inclusive. Cognitive diversity is what helps us to make sense in the Complex zone. People thinking alike are unlikely to come up with innovative ideas when faced with an exception or an unknown challenge. It requires people with different mental models and holding divergent worldviews to do so effectively. Hence, a digital mindset has to be essentially open, respectful, and inclusive. This is perhaps one of the most critical ones and difficult to inculcate. We as humans are naturally prone to homophily and confirmation bias. Any person, idea or situation that threatens our preconceived and pre-held notions are usually met with defensiveness or evasion. A digital mindset essentially means going beyond the obvious and engaging in dialogues with different minds.
Connecting the global with the local: This generation has grown up with a uniquely global perspective. They didn't have to wait to acquire global experience through travel. It was all around them, brought to them by the power of technology in a uber-connected world. Thus, there is an innately greater tolerance, acceptance of diversity, and an overall inclusive attitude. And those still unable to grasp the implications of a global world find themselves left behind made unfit for a more open world. The digital era requires the ability to switch context between the global and the local and to understand how each impact the other.
Connecting through ideas: A critical digital is also the ability to build trusted connections with colleagues, communities and networks without necessarily any face-to-face connect. We often have a wide network of professionals and colleagues with whom we share a deep connect without having ever seen them. This is the era of connected ideas. We voluntarily come together and form communities and Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) because of our aligned passions, worldviews even though geographically we may well be worlds apart and mindsets. I have never met 70% of my most trusted and respected members of the PLN community and yet do not feel the distance.
Hence, IMHO, digital mindset is not only about using technology but it is much more about changing the way we operate in the world, in our community and in our lives. It comes with its drawbacks but that is inevitable in a period of deep and hitherto unimaginable transition. The key is to remember that these characteristics do not exist in isolation. They are all interlinked and feed into each other. Someone who is open and collaborative is also likely to welcome diverse perspectives. It is a set of behavioral patterns that signify a digital mindset. It is about changing the lenses through which we view the world.

Electric Space Heater Opinions – Site Title
March 14, 2017 letsfindlife2017
Where to buy LasKo 5307 The portable space heaters reviewed in this post are electric radiant or convection space heaters, cost even less than $100, as well as offer a maximum heat output of 1500 watts. Most of the following space heater suggestions are rated a median minimum of 4 out of 5 stars by consumer reviewers.
Radiant heaters work like the sun by warming people and objects. Radiant heaters without fans aren’t devised to heat an entire room, but excel at providing instant heat for example or a couple.
Two instances of radiant heaters without fans are radiant heat panels and parabolic heaters. Radiant heat panels are constructed with your energy bills element embedded inside the panel. By means of their simplicity, they are protected, reliable and care free.
The Presto Parabolic Heat Dish is typically a economical selection for workshops or garages when you need to heat just you and definitely not the comprehensive building. The comfy Legs radiant heat panel, with only 100 watts of hotness output is from no means a whole room heater, but performs admirably when installed under a desk or hung on the wall to warm a bird cage.
The next four categories of radiant heaters are equipped with fans to furnish whole room heat.
Quartz Infrared Space heaters
Quartz infrared heaters can start from $50, or maybe as much as $450 regarding the SunTwin or EdenPure heaters. The SunTwin brand features copper heat exchangers for consistent, non drying heat; a young child and pet friendly cool onto the touch exterior, fan assisted heat for larger spaces, as well as a lifetime washable filter.
The less expensive Marvin 1500 watt quartz heater uses replaceable quartz tubes before a reflector and a fan to project whole room heat. Quartz heating elements reduce positive ions upward and consume minimal oxygen. Reviews say this heater works extremely well. The security locked grill swings out for easy quartz tube replacement. Replacement tubes are readily available for $9.99 each.
Ceramic heaters are available in many models: fixed, tower, oscillating and pedestal. Possibly the most popular and economical is likely to the Honeywell HZ-315. Weighing in at only 3.3 pounds, it’s the mighty mite of space heaters capable of quickly heating small to mid-sized rooms.
A specialized variety of the ceramic heater happens to be the radio control Soleus Air MS-20A. The cool towards the touch exterior, even heat, and wall mounting feature cause it to be well liked for nurseries.
What are they? Expensive space heaters or possibly a furnishings which also keeps you heat? Definitely a furnishings. If you went crazy and spent $2200 on that electric fireplace (they’re out there), it still won’t heat your room any better in comparison to the $299 model.
Just like the electric fireplace, a power stove is a radiant, fan assisted space heater installed in an enhancing housing. The preferred model without question with consumers happens to be the Dimplex CS3311 compact electric stove.
So what makes sure that Dyson Tower Fan so extraordinary?
According to the manufacturer the “Air Multiplier uses an airfoil-shaped ramp to amplify the airflow 16 times to produce a blast of smooth air with no unpleasant buffeting because of spinning blades.”
This unique air foil design is not soley appealing but permits for easy cleaning and renders the spa water heating surfaces cool onto the touch – a plus if you have children or pets. For added safety the heater automatically shuts itself off if accidentally tipped over.
The 23” tall Dyson Hot also features a 360º oscillating motion and tilts back by varying degrees to aim heat where you want it. So if blinking, beeping LED lights available on other heaters appeal to you crazy, you’ll appreciate the soft, quiet glow of the digital display.
The thermostat adjusts up or down in a single degree increments and the air speed is situated in a band of 1 – 10. Both functions are controlled by the remote which cleverly attaches to the vital the purifier and clogging the hepa filter for easy locating when not in use.
What defines the Dyson Blade-less Heater Fan so ordinary?
The greatest limitation any space heater faces is heat output. Since the majority of household electric circuits are limited to 15 amps, the Dyson can safely draw only 12.5 amps, or perhaps a maximum 1500 watts – the same as most other portable heaters.
Reimburse involving this, the Dyson employs their individual Air Multiplier which, in accordance with the sales literature, draws in 5 gallons of air per second. I’ve never seen air-flow expressed as gallons per second, however in marketing terms 5 gallons probably sounds more impressive than the majority of of a cubic foot.
Each most prevalent complaints about space heaters as a whole are noise and too little heat.
Where to buy LasKo 5307 Judging from the 70 or along lines of that reviews I’ve read, complaints about noise still occur, but usually only when the heater’s airflow is positioned at 10 – its highest level. Accordingly should noise can be a problem, you might want to be in doubt about investing in a heater you can be annoyed with in the event you turn all of it the manner in which up.
The substandard heat complaint is in most cases the outcome of a mismatch between the heater and the room size. Fifteen hundred watt heaters, such as the Dyson, are most effective when applied to rooms no larger than 200 square feet.

"Someday" Never Comes: Recap Wannabe
Back in the comfort of my own home with my own doggies tomorrow! ALMOST made it.
Sidenote: I have horrendously bad luck when it's a full moon, so I might be jumping the gun with the previous declarations before the wheels have landed. It's not just superstition in my case, y'all. It's real. Like, I got a $200 ticket one time for not using my right turn blinker in a right turn only lane during a full moon.
I was going to post pictures of all the reaons this trip has turned out to be exactly what I needed, but the internet is moving slower than Highway 59 in Houston, northbound, at 5 pm, when there's a wreck, due to massive construction resulting in lane closures. So, the pictures will come tomorrow when I'm settled in.
HEAR THAT, FULL MOON? I'm making PLANS, so don't try anything FUNNY.
I will briefly recap an epiphany I had this week on the treadmill.
It's no secret if you've been reading the last few days that this trip has emotionally hit me in a few tender places. Could be that last year when I was here, thoughts of a certain boy kept me going. Could be that I've been here enough times to know that I'd rather be home. Could be job woes. Could be the impending full moon, or any number of tricky factors.
So, I was on the treadmill, dutifully putting in my miles, and all the reasons behind the emotions flooded me at the same time. I was at minute 23 on the TM. Huge, huge lump in the throat appeared, and I wanted to stop running, go back to my room, journal, cry, call my mom, anything other than keep doing what I was doing.
But then I thought, okay, your throat is literally closed because you're about to bawl. It hurts. But doesn't your ankle hurt? Isn't there pain in your knee? Your left lung might explode at any second, yes?
You don't stop because your ankles hurt, or your knees are killing you, or your lungs are on fire. No, those pains indicate progress. You are getting stronger, faster, better, and those temporary growing pains are the result.
Why do your emotions and the physical repsonses to those emotions get a pass? Perhaps the fleeting tears are telling you you're doing exactly what you should be doing.
You feel pain. How do you deal with it? You. keep. going. So, go.
And that is what I did. I kept running - despite the knees, the ankles, the lungs, and even the emo-lump. I accepted them all as progress and promises of greater things to come in the future.
Just gotta keep going. :)

Rufous Hummingbirds (Selasphorus rufus) | Faith Sees Birds
← Anna’s Hummingbird (Calypte anna)
American Dippers (Cinclus Mexicanus) →
Rufous Hummingbird, photographed by Tom Grey
Female Rufous Hummingbirds look a little different from males. They have a white neck with grey spots and green and brown colored wings. Both male and females’ height is approximately 3 1/2 – 3 3/4 inches tall with a wingspan of around 4 inches, but typically, females tend to be a little larger than males.
Male Rufous Hummingbirds have a sort of florescent, orange neck and light brown back / wings. Their upper chest is white and fully and the sides of their wings are a grey, brown.
Fun Fact: Rufous Hummingbirds look extremely similar to Allen’s Hummingbirds, and it’s incredibly difficult to distinguish the two birds.
Rufous Hummingbirds are found in many places. Parks, fields, open areas in forests, meadows, thickets and edges of forests are sites that Rufous Hummingbirds definitely visit. In July and August, these hummingbirds migrate to the Rocky Mountains and other places nearby. Why this particular site? During this time, it is wildflower season in that area. Migrants inhabit all, if not, most elevations but mostly see to lowlands during the spring, and meadows upon mountains during the summer and fall.
Insects are caught by flying out and capturing them in the air. These hummingbirds are aggressive at all ages, for instance, males will chase off a female drinking from a feeder (even during the breeding season). Note: Male Rufous Hummingbirds can be very aggressive towards females. If they get agitated or irritated, they may fan out their tail feathers, and or males will flash their shiny, orange throats.
During courtship, males perform a flight where they fly in a circular shape when a female enters their breeding territory, But if females perch somewhere, males will switch to doing figure eights, low to the ground.
Females (alone) build the nest, which is a cup-shape with grass, moss, and other small plant-materials, bounded together with spider webs, and camouflaged with moss and lichen. Their nest is built, within 3 days of arrival at their mate’s breeding territory. They place the nest up to 30 feet above the ground (usually in coniferous or deciduous trees like maples, Douglas-fir or birch).
Females typically lay 2-3 eggs per breeding season which are white with around a half inch in length. She incubates these eggs for a period of 15-17 days (2 1/2 weeks) She feeds and takes care of the nestlings on her own, until they leave the nest, which is about 21 days (3 weeks) after birth.
Rufous Hummingbirds, mainly eat insects and nectar (like most hummingbirds). Brightly colored flowers like columbine, penstemon, Indian paintbrush, and lilies are favorited by these hummingbirds. Sometimes, these birds, will eat spiders and or will steal trapped insects from their webs.

What a wonderful property with a view of the Costa Rican coast that went forever. Great way to celebrate our anniversary two weeks ago. Our room #3 had a phenomenal ocean view and the room amenities was perfect with a wonderful balcony to relax on and take in all there is to see.
We understood that in 2016 this hotel was completely remodeled by the the new owner who didn't spare a dime to make this a first class hotel in all ways. And to complement the new design they hired a top notch staff to attend to all the guests needs. Liliana at the front desk was our VP of first impressions. Dani as well made us feel quite welcome and at home during our stay. Heriberto our waiter for dinner and poolside became our friend over the 2 days we were there. Jocelyn at our cook to order and buffet breakfast was always quick with a smile and a refill for our coffee cups. This place was total luxury in its feel and service. Very glad we persevered the road to get there. Great memories were made here indeed.

Two Tree Hill: Some fun facts about Australian writers
Some fun facts about Australian writers
Australia has a long history of cultural cringe when it comes to writing (more about that in another post). Meanwhile, I am reading a fascinating book, Susan Drury’s Writers and Writing. Published in 1979, its intention is “to serve as an excellent introduction to a wide and varied subject at a time when Australian writing is broadening its horizons.” It was recently culled from the school library and gratefully received by me as an antidote to my massive ignorance.
And now I share with you 10 fun and potentially useful facts about Australian writers (prior to 1940 which is where I am up to in the book):
1. “To achieve a high reputation in literary circles a writer must be published and read in other countries.” Susan Drury
2. There was actually a well-known Australian writer named Joseph Furphy. Do you think anyone believed anything he wrote?
3. The first “Australian made” book was convict Henry Savery’s Quintus Servinton that was published in Hobart in 1830.
4. The first colonial-born novelist was John Lang. Born in Parramatta, New South Wales in 1818, his novel The Forger’s Wife or, Assigned to His Wife was published in 1855 (in England of course).
5. Early writers were as bitchy as modern writers. Furphy described the characters in fellow-novelist Henry Kingsley’s books as “slender-witted, virgin-souled, over-grown schoolboys.”
6. In the 1890s it was common to show one’s patriotism by inscribing the front of one’s novels as ‘For Australia” and signing letters “Yours for Australia.”
7. Henry Lawson was found dead (from excessive alcohol) in the backyard of a house in Abbotsford, Sydney in 1922, aged 55. His epitaph in this book? “Despite all the efforts of his friends he spent the rest of his life in misery and degradation.”
8. Frank Dalby Davison’s famous story Man Shy was only accepted by a publisher after Davison and his brother, desperate for money, printed it and sold it door to door for sixpence a copy. Beware friends when I start knocking on your door.
9. If you are a woman writer, you need a really cool name, preferably androgenous. Good examples:
Henry Handel Richardson (actual name Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson)
Aeneas Gunn (Jeannie Gunn or Mrs Aeneas James Gunn)

10. According to Ms. Drury: “Women writers are now usually judged simply as ‘writers’. They have the same range of topics open to the as men do and while some still choose to write ‘women’s novels’ of love and romance, many more write on serious topics of relevance to all people.”
My take home message? To be a serious Australian writer I need: a much more interesting name; I can’t write “women’s novels”; my preferred title of Quintus Servinton was taken long ago; I have to avoid alcohol and back yards and I must be published outside Australia.

eric forbes’s book addict’s guide to good books: BONNY BOOK FEST
A bookworm shares her experience of the world’s largest writers and readers’ event.
THEY CALL Scotland’s capital the Festival City because it has a dozen big, internationally well-known festivals every year. There are seven in August alone, covering everything from the arts and music to politics and spirituality.
Amidst this plethora is the Edinburgh International Book Festival, and I had the privilege of attending a few events there recently.
Held from August 14 to 30, Edinburgh’s book fest is said to be the biggest literary event in the world; this year, according to festival director Nick Barley, four Nobel laureates, four Booker winners and 40 new writers made appearances and 200,000 visitors trooped in.
With the book festival held concurrently with the bigger Fringe Festival as well as the International Festival, the streets of Edinburgh were packed with locals and tourists enjoying the almost mind-boggling variety of events, all taking place in excellent—and unusually—sunny weather.
Bookish-minded visitors like this writer headed for the Charlotte Square Gardens where everything book-related could be found: author appearances and discussions, book signings, free 10-minute author readings, and two huge bookstores, one dedicated to literature for adults and the other for works for children of all ages.
It was heartening to see how festival organisers made the effort to cater to children with the extensive RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) Children’s Programme involving writers from Australia, Eastern Europe and the United States.
The annual programme offers activities geared towards all ages, from toddler to teen, as well as events for parents and carers—there are, literally, hundreds of events under this programme, many of them free, too.
Newspapers reported that the festival’s opening weekend attracted a record 17,000 people, perhaps partly due to the opening keynote event featuring the controversial Philip Pullman. The author, whose novels deal symbolically with the Christian faith, debated his latest polarising book, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, with the former Anglican Bishop of Oxford, Richard Harries.
Other interesting writers in the programme included two of this year’s Man Booker Prize-shortlisted authors, Andrea Levy (The Long Song) and Emma Donoghue (Room); 2005 T.S. Eliot Prize-winner and Britain’s poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy; 2005 Man Booker Prize-winner John Banville; 2009 Man Booker International Lifetime Achievement Award-winner Joyce Carol Oates; and 2005 Orange Prize-winner Lionel Shriver.
One of the most interesting and thought-provoking events I attended was an appearance by A.S. Byatt who read from and discussed her latest novel, The Children’s Book, a Man Booker Prize-shortlisted title in 2009.
To see Byatt—anointed in 2008 as one of the “50 greatest British writers since 1945” by The Times—in person was not only most thrilling for her readers but also an eye-opener for those who have not read her work, as they were introduced to her sharp wit and profound insights. She provided new perspectives on a host of subjects by sharing thoughts like how she felt that Hans Christian Andersen was a sadist (she never got over reading The Little Mermaid!), that she identifies with the persecution of children in novels such as Oliver Twist and Jane Eyre and that she feels the Orange Prize is sexist (it’s for writings by women).
Byatt also won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (with a cash prize of £10,000 or RM48,500) for The Children’s Book and made another appearance at the prize-giving ceremony to read from it.
In other events, Kei Miller and Nadifa Mohamed, originally from Jamaica and Somalia respectively, talked about their books on people who leave their home countries to start anew in Britain. The audience was treated to a discussion of Mohamed’s novel based on her father’s travels as a sailor as well as the most enriching experience of listening to Miller’s rhythmic and melodious reading of his novel.
Anthony Cartwright and Max Schaeffer discussed British extremism in their novels and the idea of the nation and the “national”, and that being overly cautious about multiculturalism can reach ridiculous proportions.
D.B.C. Pierre read from his new novel, Lights Out in Wonderland, and said that he had spent time with a suicidal friend to research it. This Australia-born, Britain-based author (whose real name is Peter Finlay) won the Man Booker and Whitbread Best First Novel prizes in 2003 for his controversial satirical novel about school shootings, Vernon God Little. Pierre proved to be as funny and articulate in person as he is in writing, eliciting laughter from his audience even while discussing serious issues such as the world’s current arrogance (a result of a lack of large-scale wars, he said) and that we are all in a state of limbo and headed for a period of dramatic and unpredictable change.
Obviously, it is impossible to cover every type of book and subject matter at one festival, but the Edinburgh International Book Festival seems to come close to doing just that. From graphic novels to political books and children’s literature, this all-encompassing event is designed not only to nurture adult readers and writers ranging from prize-winners to newcomers, but also young readers and budding writers; even curious passers-by were treated to a buffet of literary and cultural experiences.
Fortunately, the cheerful weather only turned dreary and wet on my last morning there. As I braved the rain with a flimsy umbrella while picking my way around puddles and over slippery wet grass to attend a free, 10-minute reading in the Writers’ Retreat area, I was expecting to see a near-empty tent. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to see that people had bothered to trudge through the miserable weather and take up almost all the seats.
The organisers really had done a good job in keeping the crowds coming. Apart from the huge number and variety of events, there were thoughtful touches throughout, such as facilities for visitors with disabilities and a good selection of cafes (even an ice-cream tricycle offering locally made Di Rollo ice cream) and free spaces that invited the tired bookworm to just sit, relax and take in the atmosphere.
Of course, this book fair has 21 years of experience under its belt, so perhaps it is not so astonishing that it was so well planned and executed; even with a new director (Barley took over this year) at the helm, events were admirably orderly and efficient.
It was very encouraging to see so much interest and support for the festival despite all the other festivals that were going on at the same time. One thing is for sure: this festival will satisfy the most avid readers and lovers of literature and books, whatever their palate.

The New York Times > Movies > Movie Review | 'Tasuma, the Fighter': The Well-Worn Fabric of a Folky Tale
MOVIE REVIEW | 'TASUMA, THE FIGHTER' MORE ON 'Tasuma'
The Well-Worn Fabric of a Folky Tale
hen African filmmakers aren't inspired, they tend to settle back into a sweet-tempered, folkloric mode, spinning tales of simple village life full of simple village people. "Tasuma, the Fighter," a new film from Burkina Faso that opens today at the Anthology Film Archives in Manhattan, finds the director and writer Kollo Daniel Sanou in precisely that becalmed, idyllic state of mind, as he leans back and lets this mildly satiric parable unfold.
Sogo Sanou (played with dignity and reserve by Mamadou Zerbo) is a veteran of the French colonial army who saw battle in Indochina and Algiers. Long retired to his tiny village, atop a rock-strewn hill in a distant outback, Sogo has been patiently waiting for his pension from the French government. But each time he makes the arduous trip to town, bumping his bicycle along dirt roads, he is met with blank stares at the government offices. No, his name is not on the list today. Maybe tomorrow.
Sogo earned his nickname, Tasuma, meaning "the fire," for his bravery and aggression in battle, so he is not about to be frightened off by a government bureaucrat. He is also civic-minded and has promised the women of his village a new, gasoline-powered mill to grind their millet. When a shady Arab trader offers Sogo a mill on credit, he accepts despite the exorbitant interest rate. He is, after all, about to come into a substantial sum of money.
When the mill arrives but the money does not, Tasuma the fighter must don his uniform and take up his gun once more. Returning to the city, he makes his stand before the veterans administration office.
Mr. Sanou, the director, has shaped this slight, familiar tale with African storytelling techniques, including a griot, the local teacher, who chants Sogo's epic struggle as it evolves, and a chorus of feisty village women who enter the action at decisive points.
"Tasuma" is innocuous enough, though it often seems willfully tight and channeled, as if Mr. Sanou were doing his best not to allow the reality of these lives to intrude on his pleasant fantasy.
Written (in More, with English subtitles) and directed by Kollo Daniel Sanou; director of photography, Didier Berghounoux; edited by Andree Davanture; music by Cheick Tidiane Sek; production designer, Pierre Ernest Rouamba; released by Anthology Film Archives and ArtMattan Productions. At the Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue, at Second Street, East Village. Running time: 90 minutes. This film is not rated.
WITH: Mamadou Zerbo (Sogo Sanou), Bessani Raoul Khalil (The Merchant) and Ai Keita, Stanislas Sore, Noufou Ouedraogo, Karen Sonia Sanou and Safiatou (Villagers).

Affidavit of Abatement (No Such Corporation)	12
Tagsaffidavit of abatement, District of Columbia, federal citizenship, Inhabitants of Orono v. Wedgewood, Koekuk & Hamilton Bridge Co. v. Wetzel, Montana v. San Jose News Inc, Murphy v. Ramsey, no corporation, nul tiel, Pannil v. Roanoke, proper name, Rialto Col. v. Miner	(For Frank ‘Austin’ England III) AFFIDAVIT OF ABATEMENT
“this state’s” decision to use a name upon commercial instruments other than my birth name, whether such decision rests on religious, marital, commercial or other personal considerations, does not imply intent to set aside my birth name, or identity associated with that name.　Unlike a registered trademark, My proper name cannot be deemed abandoned by Me throughout this possessor’s life, despite any failure to use it, and continue to use it, privately and or commercially.　Montana v. San Jose Mercury News, Inc. 40 Cal.Rptr.2d 639, 34 Cal.Appl.4th 790
I (Your name spelled normal), declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on February ______, 2010
Addendum Notwithstanding the above observations, there are two views as to whether the Corporate Existence of a Corporation was in Issue under a Plea of the General Issue. The generally accepted view was that the Existence of the Corporation was not put in issue by a Plea of General Issue. This appears to be the better view, as the function of the General Issue was to deny Material Allegations of Fact in the plaintiff’s Declaration. If the Corporate Existence of the plaintiff were put in Issue the General Issue would be placing in Issue a Question of Law, as the Corporate Existence of the plaintiff can only be determined by construing the Charter of the Incorporation, and construction of a written document involves a Question of Law. The General Issue alone, therefore, should operate as an admission of the Corporate Existence of the plaintiff; [66] if it is desirable to place it iin the Issue the defendant should Specifically Traverse the Corporate. Existence of the plaintiff by use of a Plea Nul TielCorporation [67]
Foot Note 66 – Inhabitants of Orono v. Wedgewood, 44 Me, 49 (1857) Keokuk & Hamilton Bridge Co. v. Wetzel, 228 Ill. 253, 81 N.E. 864, (1907), which held that a Plea denying that the plaintiff is a corporation is a Plea in Bar, but that a Plea denying that the defendant is a corporation is a Plea in Abatement. Foot Note 67 – That a Special Plea of Nul Tiel Corporation is necessary to question the corporate of the plaintiff, see: Inhabitants of Orono v. Wedgewood, 44 Me. 49, 69 Am.Dec. 81 (1857).

Numbers, Dutch Style | A Flamingo in Utrecht
Numbers, Dutch Style
Posted on December 3, 2010 by Alison	A few weeks ago, the tv series Fringe (which you should all be watching) started off an episode with various people gathered around radios, listening for certain numbers. The first numbers we heard? They were in Dutch! If you’ve seen the episode, you will remember the reactions the characters had upon hearing the numbers: heads clutched between hands in agony. Technically, it wasn’t that the numbers were in Dutch that caused the pain, although when I first began learning Dutch numbers, I must admit I probably looked the same at times!
Back when I was learning French in high school, I remember thinking that the French way of counting the 90s was bizarre: four twenty ten (four times twenty plus 10). Why make it more difficult than it needs to be! Then I discovered how the Dutch do two-digit numbers. Take 28 for example, as seen in the address in the photo. In English, you would say twenty-eight. In Dutch, it’s “eight and twenty”. Any number from 21 to 99 (excluding 30, 40, etc.) is done this way: eenentwintig (21), negenennegentig (99). It makes sense, and I still prefer it to the French mathematics, but it does take some getting used to. The difference can also lead to confusion when translated. As an English speaker, when I mentally translate the numbers, it’s not uncommon for me to hear achtentwintig (28), but transpose it to 82 in my head. The Dutch have the same problem sometimes when trying to say a number in English. For them sixty-three can become 36. It’s all a matter of perspective.
This is one of those things that can be frustrating, but can also be interesting. It’s one of those little differences that I enjoy … unless I’m trying to keep a lot of numbers straight at one time!

Exactly! I think that’s why it doesn’t seem completely weird to me.

Perhaps this is the reason that I still don’t know Dutch? OMG it’s confusing!
Reply ↓	Alison on December 5, 2010 at 11:31 am said:
I definitely feel like it was much easier to learn Italian than it is to learn Dutch. Perhaps I just need to put a bit more consistent effort in. ;) But the unusual word order and the little words that have a million meanings …

I heard about the French way of counting for the first time while we there on honeymoon. It sounds so complex.
Reply ↓	Alison on December 5, 2010 at 11:33 am said:
I think Swiss French (don’t know about the Belgians) don’t bother with all the math and just have something simple for 90. At least the rest of the French numbers aren’t quite so involved. I think. I might have blocked it out. ;)

There is a carriage house in the back yard, that is rented, so you will not be able to enjoy this part of the home. Feel free to have cocktails on the back patio, but we know you will enjoy classic front porch sitting, with a Sazerac in hand, New Orleans style.
The home was built in the 1850's so it does have some classic characteristics, such as shedding fire places and original floors that creek when you walk. That is the charm of this well preserved, historical home.

Lovely old New Orleans home, conveniently located near trolley line.
This is a very nice place to stay. The building is quite large, and a little over two blocks from the Charles Street streetcar if you want to go to the Quarter. Using Lyft or Uber is also fast and cheap. We had a bathroom for all three bedrooms, plus another on the main floor. The kitchen is large and well equipped. There is a porch and back patio, but we didn't use them much because of the heat. But in cooler weather, they could be very nice. The wifi was fairly fast: 10-15 Mbps and worked well. We used the laundry, and while in small closet, well located. There is a great bar two blocks away, and several coffee shops within easy walks. A tip: in the upstairs bedrooms, the air conditioning works better if you leave the entrance door open a little bit: there are no returns on the air flow, so you get better circulation this way. This is not uncommon on older homes that have had a/c added later in their lives, and not a big deal. We had a good time playing with Ella, the friendly dog that loves to fetch her tennis ball when you throw it. She was always there to greet us when we left the house or arrived back home. The entrance gate to the yard is locked with a large combination lock which works well, once you understand how to set it: the digits go on the very top line, not the center one, as is the case on some locks of this type. Again, not a problem. If you have a big group, or just want a lot of space, or want to be in a quiet neighborhood with nearby coffee and bars, this is a great choice. We would stay here again, no question.

a southern style: True Life: I Have FOMO
My best friend and I were talking the other day about how different things are now that college is over and how it's been really hard for us to get used to it. In college, life was "easy." I lived with two of my best friends, the rest of my friends and boyfriend lived no more than 5 minutes away, and my parents were a hop, skip, and jump down I40. It was almost hard to miss out on things because everything was right there surrounding me. Working full-time at a demanding job, living four hours away from home, and not having my friends around is definitely different than how life was from college, but I have to start adapting to new life instead of holding on to the old one. Needless to say, I want nothing more than to maintain the relationships I formed in college -- those are my very best friends -- but at the same time, it's okay to adjust to something new, and better yet, want to adjust to something new.
Katie ElizabethJanuary 8, 2014 at 10:57 AMGirl, I totally know how you feel. I went through these exact same feelings when I graduated from college 3.5 years ago (wow - time flies!). I moved 3 hours away from home to a big city, Chicago, where only my boyfriend and 2 friends lived. It was definitely the adjustment and I'm not lying when I say it probably took a full year to "move on" from college. There were lots of ups and downs but just hang in there! It gets much better :)ReplyDeleteEmilyJanuary 8, 2014 at 11:01 AMI am the queen of FOMO. I, like you, am never in town and always want to be where people are, things are going on...and definitely don't want to miss out! Sometimes it's stressful!!! ReplyDeletemeganJanuary 8, 2014 at 11:04 AMI DEFINITELY have a case of FOMO..thankfully it has gotten better as I've gotten older. :)ReplyDeleteAlyssa at Southern AbundanceJanuary 8, 2014 at 12:21 PMCould not have said it better myself! FOMO is something I have struggled with this year while traveling and I always get sad when I see my friends hanging out together back home. I constantly have to remind myself that I'm enjoying my own little adventure and that I need to live in the moment I've been given! Thank you for sharing from your heart :-)ReplyDeleteMeghanJanuary 8, 2014 at 12:36 PMFunny you posted this today! I used to have this problem my first year out of school and then I snapped myself out of it because I was EXHAUSTED all the time. I thought I was doing much better until I looked at my monthly schedule for the next 3 months. How am I already planned for the next 3 months? xochampagneandsuburbs.blogspot.comReplyDeleteBKCsquaredJanuary 8, 2014 at 12:55 PMIt sounds like you've got a good handle on how to move forward! My favorite line that you wrote is: I need to remember that I can do anything, but not everything. I'm going to take that to heart too - so, thank you!xo, Bwww.BKCsquared.comReplyDeletedocdivatravellerJanuary 8, 2014 at 1:29 PMgreat post!! even after so many years i too suffer from fomo!!http://www.docdivatraveller.blogspot.inReplyDeleteToriJanuary 8, 2014 at 2:11 PMI can totally relate to this...my hubby calls me a gypsy because I am always running from place to place. I just hate to miss out--but in all the craziness I feel like i do end up missing out on just being happy with where I am at and who I get to be with at that time! I am trying this year to learn to be content :) And know that my friends and family will love me even if I can't see them or be with them all as much as I would like!Tori FashionBlingGirlyThingsReplyDeleteAmanda CruteJanuary 9, 2014 at 11:22 AMcompletely agree! i'm the same way. i feel like i need to always be doing something. ps welcome to charlotte! i've been here about a year and a half :)ReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...
