This has almost 5 THOUSAND signatures and I can't thank you guys enough. We were just awarded our ENTIRE pay in 2 increments! My staff and I can finally rid our hands of this company and start moving on and picking up the pieces in full!
I will never apologize for being outspoken. It's gotten me extremely far in life. Thank you to my friends on and off Facebook who helped my staff and I get to where we are now and everyone else who signed our petition. You're aren't unnoticed.
If you've been mistreated by your restaurant employer and need some support, reach out to the Restaurant Opportunities Center (www.rocunited.org) and they'll be able to help you out as well.
Thank you once again! Have a nice day!
(3) meet with my coworkers, the Restaurant Opportunities Centers of NY and myself to discuss how his other businesses can do better by their employees.
My name is Michele Lindor and I am a former manager for BG’s Cowboy’s Saloon in Syracuse, New York.
My experience working for BG Cowboy’s Saloon was short-lived but definitely memory packed. I was asked to join the BG team in February 2017. After 2 months of serving, I was promoted to service manager and then quickly took on the responsibility of bar management as well. My hours were strenuous and never ending; I even have slept in the restaurant before because my commute was too long for me to leave and then turn back for my shift in less than 3 hours. I was constantly left to deal with things quite literally by myself and received little to no help from the other management staff; i.e. continually being left as the only manager within the building on weekend nights with minimal training as a manager and no support.
Many of my coworkers also experienced terrible treatment by the management team that was let go in July. Turnover is high in the restaurant industry, due to low wages, lack of benefits and strenuous work. Our turnover rate at BG Cowboy’s Saloon was no exception, especially for front of the house employees, where turnover was frankly astronomical and embarrassing due to the sub-minimum hourly wage, poor working conditions and the reputation acquired by the owner’s failure to pay bills rent and possibly even taxes to the State of New York.
With the potential closing looming over our heads, instead of taking the easier route of calling it quits, leaving my coworkers behind and moving onto a new workplace, I worked extra hard to ensure that not only I had a job, but that my staff did as well. We banded together and collectively worked together to try and better the entire restaurant. For the last month, I was ensured that the restaurant had a future for the coming holiday season, so when I received the message through text on the morning of Saturday September 23, 2017 that our restaurant was indefinitely closing its doors and our “help” that was flown in from Florida was heading straight back to South Beach, I was shocked and outraged. Not only were our jobs non-existent, but so were our paychecks. Our paychecks dated 09/04/2017-09/10/2017 had bounced and we never received payment from 09/11/2017-09/22/2017. I personally am owed $1889.70.
Because of the sudden change, I as well as many of my staff have had to apply for unemployment to receive some sort of repayment for the loss of wages from BG’s. Personally because of this job, I have taken hits to my own bank account by paying out of my own pocket for groceries and supplies for the restaurant because things with vendors soured when the employer failed to pay bills. As a result of going above and beyond, I have been living paycheck to paycheck. When the first paycheck bounced, I was left with $49 in my account and have been forced to live on credit. I, as well as everyone else, has had to scramble to find employment elsewhere. 4 weeks have gone by and we are still not paid for our time on the clock.
It is all too common for people in our industry to be taken advantage of and disrespected. My coworkers and I from BG Cowboy’s Saloon went above and beyond for our employer. We deserve to be paid for the work we performed and to be treated with respect. Please join me in asking Bobby Genovese, the millionaire who owns BG Cowboy’s Saloon and BG Capital Group, to do the right thing and pay us the money we are owed and enter a dialogue about how similar situations at his other establishments can be prevented.
What the owner of this restaurant has done to his employees in unconscionable. It is tantamount to theft - and he should not be allowed to do this!!
I have also worked for a company that went bankrupt; I sued for my paycheck and got the judgment, but never got the money. Nobody should have to go through this. | 2019-04-22T10:21:55 | https://www.coworker.org/petitions/pay-your-workers |
In 2016, the European General Data Protection Regulation - or GDPR - was approved. Two years later, on 25 May 2018, European companies are required to collect, use, and secure citizens' data in compliance with the GDPR.
Bringme, too, has put in the necessary efforts to be GDPR-compliant. At the same time, it offers its clients a solution to help protect their employees' privacy.
A lot of companies are taking draconian measures to comply with the GDPR and to protect their workers' data, but, at the same time, those very same workers' private lives are up for grabs at the reception desk, where visitors and workers can see their colleagues' parcels. Often, parcels are also delivered to the (sometimes unknown) neighbours, against the recipient's wishes.
"Many parcels betray more than you'd think at first blush. Orders such as pregnancy clothing, healthcare products, expensive designer clothes, or alcohol can result in heavy gossiping and give colleagues, neighbours, or random passersby an unwanted glimpse into your private life," explains Jo Vandebergh.
So what's the point of protecting a worker's professional email address from being misused by third parties, if everyone passing by reception can see that very worker's purchasing behaviour and the parcel they ordered from ‘almost-a-mummy.net’? Or the cleanse they bought from ‘liver-and-gall-bladder-detox.com’?
With Bringme, employees' and residents' parcels are delivered straight into the Bringme Box. The recipient is notified discreetly and can pick up the parcel when it suits them. No one else knows parcels were delivered, nor how often parcels are delivered, and certainly not what kind of parcels are delivered. The addressee's privacy is guaranteed throughout the entire chain.
"If reception staff register parcels for employees, this entails additional obligations under the GDPR and can even lead to a data breach", Jo Vandebergh explains. According to the GDPR, companies must process files which mention who received what parcel at what time, in the same way they process all other personal data.
Dropping off private parcels at the reception desk or at a neighbour's home also engenders a real risk of violation of the privacy of correspondence: the parcel is not handed over to the final addressee and it will often be accidentally opened by someone else.
By using Bringme, companies organize their processes in such a way that there is no more risk of breaching employees’ privacy when parcels are delivered. In that regard, they meet their obligation to apply privacy by design, meaning companies must design their processes and products in such a manner that the risk of privacy violation is avoided.
Bringme also made an effort to fulfill the GDPR obligations and to provide optimum protection for its users' personal data. The GDPR implementation project was a challenging example of cross-departmental collaboration: Legal, ICT, Product/Software, Marketing and HR worked hand in glove to come up with a structural solution. That has given Bringme a 360-degree overview of all personal data which are or can be processed within the organization, permitting it to guarantee users that their personal data are being processed safely and with respect for their privacy.
Is the GDPR an all-round blessing?
First and foremost, Bringme feels the GDPR will do a better job of protecting the privacy of its users and all EU citizens, and that this is a positive development.
For some aspects, however, the (administrative) scale is tipping too far and the GDPR is not taking the needs of operational management into account. For example, professional contact data (such as a professional email address) are considered in the same fashion as private contact data, resulting in more rigorous consent rules for these data as well (with a required proof of explicit consent), in a way that does not mesh with how trade is done.
It would have been better to create a presumption of consent in a B2B-context, which the addressee could have then individually or generally opted out of. Companies looking to adhere to an all-too-strict privacy orthodoxy for B2B data will not dare to pick up the phone anymore, crippling their prospecting efforts.
Bringme is assuming that the text of the GDPR could never have intended these consequences and, for B2B contacts, it will of course respect the spirit of the GDPR. Bringme will also take the context into account and apply the necessary pragmatism.

REAL MADRID TEAM NEWS - which 11 players will Zinedine Zidane select for Los Blancos’ clash against Huesca?
Real Madrid welcome rock-bottom Huesca on Sunday evening, looking make it two wins from two under Zidane.
The Frenchman returned to the Real Madrid helm one week before the international break and began with a comfortable 2-0 win over Celta Vigo.
Zidane made some big calls for that win, notably starting maligned players Isco and Gareth Bale, who both scored.
Other standout selections included the return of Marcelo and Keylor Navas in goal for Thibaut Courtois.
The Belgian goalkeeper has not enjoyed a successful first season since making his dream move to the European Champions.
Despite being Real’s No 1 in place of the proven but under-appreciated Navas, Courtois has not reflected the £35m paid for him last August.
Zidane noticed that and dropped him for his first game in charge, but tried to play down the significance of the call.
"It's not a final decision,” the manager said. “There are 10 games left.
Unfortunately for Courtois, he did not have the best break with Belgium, being dispossessed on the edge of his box for the Red Devils’ only concession over the two games.
Zidane showed in his first game back that he is willing to trust the players which delivered so much success in his first tenure, and more of the same is expected on Sunday.
Against the lesser sides he will want Isco to play centrally in a 4-2-3-1 formation with deep creative midfielders Toni Kroos and Luka Modric being favoured over defence-minded Casemiro or Dani Ceballos.
With Vinicius Junior and Danny Carvajal the only long-term absentees, a very similar side to last time out is expected to do the business against Huesca.
Real Madrid XI vs Huesca (predicted line-up): Navas; Odriozola, Varane, Ramos, Reguilon; Modric, Kroos, Asensio, Isco, Bale; Benzema. | 2019-04-24T20:14:25 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1107012/Real-Madrid-team-news-predicted-line-Huesca-Zidane-Courtois-La-Liga-fixture |

All the alarms featured here meet with AS/NZS 3749.1:2003 Class A insurance standards (Previously known as a 5 star alarm under the defunct NZSA star rating system) or the respected Thatcham CAT 1 standard.
Alarm: Battery Back-up Siren, door, boot and bonnet protection, internal sensor.
Internal Sensors: Ultrasonics, Microwave, and glass break sensors are all allowed. It is worth noting that glass break sensors are not effective where the windows have an after market tint film (window tinting) fitted.
Remember that a big immobiliser is far harder to install effectively then a small one, plus a battery back-up siren with an over-ride key will put big limitations on where it can be installed. That said a good installation is still a must if the alarm is going to be an effective form of protection. | 2019-04-22T02:13:44 | http://caralarm.net.nz/5-star-car-alarms/ |

Those who hoped that the Israeli atrocities in Gaza would rekindled a sense of remorse among the egotistical elites in Ramallah, were surely disappointed when the PA withdrew its draft resolution supporting recommendations made by South African Judge Richard Goldstone. The Goldstone report is the most comprehensive, and transparent investigation as of yet into what happened in Gaza during the 23-day war. It decried Israeli terror, and chastised Palestinians as well. But the focus on Israel undoubtedly and deservingly occupied much of the nearly 600-page report. The next step was for the Human Rights Council to send the report for consideration to the United Nations Security Council, which was to study the findings for a possible referral of the case to the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Such a move would have been historic. Knowing the full implications of such a possibility, Hamas accepted the report’s recommendations in full. Israel, backed by its traditional US ally, rejected it, leveling all sorts of accusations and insults on the world-renowned Jewish judge. | 2019-04-20T03:24:12 | https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2009/10/17/abbas-and-the-goldstone-report-our-shame-is-complete/ |

Alimony is payment made by one party to the other after the divorce, either by court order or by mutual agreement. This type of post-divorce payment is also sometimes referred to as maintenance. Until 1980, there were no provisions under Pennsylvania law for alimony. The Divorce Code of 1980 provides that the court may allow alimony to either party "only if it finds that alimony is necessary."
Under Pennsylvania law, married people are financially responsible for each other - the husband has a duty to support his wife, and the wife has a duty to support her husband. This duty lasts until the final Decree in Divorce is granted. It doesn't stop simply because the couple separates. Once the parties file for a mutual-consent no-fault divorce, they must wait at least 90 days and often significantly longer before the final Decree in Divorce is granted. During this period, an agreement on support payments may be appropriate if the parties are separated.
Alimony in Pennsylvania is authorized in limited situations and is not the broad remedy that it is in other states. Alimony in Pennsylvania is either "rehabilitative" or "permanent" .
"Permanent alimony" continues for a long period of time, possibly until the death of the party receiving the alimony and is usually awarded when one of the parties is unable to work due to age physical or mental illness. | 2019-04-23T16:57:24 | https://www.padivorceonline.com/papages/Alimony/alimony.asp |

In this post I'll present a short code snippet demonstrating how to use Redis streams to implement a multi-process task queue with Python. Task queues are commonly-used in web-based applications, as they allow decoupling time-consuming computation from the request/response cycle. For example when someone submits the "contact me" form, the webapp puts a message onto a task queue, so that the relatively time-consuming process of checking for spam and sending an email occurs outside the web request in a separate worker process.
# Calculate 100,000th fibonacci number in worker process.
# Block until the result becomes ready, then display last 6 digits.
When using Redis as a message broker, I've always favored using LPUSH/BRPOP (left-push, blocking right-pop) to enqueue and dequeue a message. Pushing items onto a list ensures that messages will not be lost if the queue is growing faster than it can be processed – messages just get added until the consumer(s) catch up. Blocking right-pop is an atomic operation, so Redis also guarantees that no matter how many consumers you've got listening for messages, each message is delivered to only one consumer.
There are some downsides to using lists, primarily the fact that blocking right-pop is a destructive read. Once a message is read, the application can no longer tell whether the message was processed successfully or has failed and needs to be retried. Similarly, there is no visibility into which consumer processed a given message.
Redis 5.0 includes a new streams data-type for modelling append-only, persistent message logging. Streams are identified by a key, like other data-types, and support append, read and delete operations. Streams provide a number of benefits over other data-types typically used for building distributed task queues using Redis, particularly when used with consumer groups.
Streams support fan-out message delivery to all interested readers (kinda like pub/sub), or you can use consumer groups to ensure that messages are distributed evenly among a pool of consumers (like lpush/brpop).
Messages are persistent and history is kept around, even after a message has been read by a consumer.
Message delivery information is tracked by Redis, making it easy to identify which tasks were completed successfully, and which failed and need to be retried (at the cost of an explicit ACK).
Messages are structured as any number of arbitrary key/value pairs, providing a bit more internal structure than an opaque blob stored in a list.
Consumer groups provide us with a unified interface for managing message delivery and querying the status of the task queue. These features make Redis a nice option if you need a message broker.
Redis 5.0 contains, among lots of fixes and improvements, a new data-type and set of commands for working with persistent, append-only streams.
Redis streams are a complex topic, so I won't be covering all aspects of the APIs, but hopefully after reading this post you'll have a feel for how they work and whether they might be useful in your own projects.
Once a message is read it's effectively "gone forever". If the worker crashes there's no way to tell if the message was processed or needs to be rescheduled. This pushes the responsibility of retrying failed operations onto the consumer.
Only one client can read a given message. There's no "fan-out".
No visibility into message state after the message is read.
Similarly, Redis pub/sub can be used to publish a stream of messages to any number of interested consumers. Pub/sub is limited by the fact that it is "fire and forget". There is no history, nor is there any indication that a message has been read.
streams allow messages to be fanned-out to multiple consumers or you can use stateful consumers ("consumer groups") to coordinate message processing among multiple workers.
message history is preserved and visible to other clients.
consumer groups support message acknowledgements, claiming stale unacknowledged messages, and introspecting pending messages, ensuring that messages are not lost in the event of an application crash.
streams support blocking read operations.
The rest of the post will show some examples of working with streams using the walrus Redis library. If you prefer to just read the code, this post is also available as an ipython notebook.
A couple weekends ago I got it into my head that I would build a thin Python wrapper for working with Redis. Andy McCurdy's redis-py is a fantastic low-level client library with built-in support for connection-pooling and pipelining, but it does little more than provide an interface to Redis' built-in commands (and rightly so). I decided to build a project on top of redis-py that exposed pythonic containers for the Redis data-types. I went on to add a few extras, including a cache and a declarative model layer. The result is walrus. | 2019-04-19T04:48:36 | http://charlesleifer.com/blog/tags/walrus/ |

Feasibility Engineering Studies are a critical component in assessing a project’s financial viability.
A Feasibility Study typically utilizies two steps: The first step is a quick determination of potential site layouts, development constraints, and cost issues. Once a positive determination is made, the second step is a more formal, comprehensive study.
Conceptual Plans: A conceptual plan to look at the uses allowed under the city's land use regulations and zoning ordinance and the development constraints.
Site Evaluation: A site evaluation is conducted to determine the existing site conditions that could affect the proposed development of the property. This would include a review of the site and a review of readily available data such as FEMA flood zone maps, soils, utilities, wetlands, roadways and other issues that may affect the development potential of the site.
Code and Zoning: A comprehensive and detailed review of zoning ordinance provisions for the development would also identify constraints placed on the use of the property.
Preliminary Cost Estimates: Preliminary cost estimates are prepared on the basis of an accepted conceptual layout. These estimates are used as guidelines at the beginning phases of a project and are typically updated as the project moves forward. | 2019-04-21T10:33:47 | http://civilworksne.webstarts.com/feasability.html |

A friend recently said to me that one of the actions that most impresses him is when someone adopts a child from an underdeveloped nation, that is, when someone “saves” the life of a child that probably would have had a pretty low quality of life.
My friend is a devout Christian, and obviously this comment is largely (if not solely) driven by an altruistic morality. It would have been easy for me to dismiss this comment as nothing more than that. But I do feel some sympathies to this sentiment. After thinking about it for a while, I found it difficult to completely dismiss his evaluation. I too on some level “like” if someone is motivated to adopt a child that is in that situation. I have considered that I have some lingering altruistic tendencies, but I don’t think that is the case (though I haven’t ruled it out).
1) It does not satisfy the standard of promoting the adopter’s life.
A thought on the second point: One might concede that this action is still moral or good, but if it falls low enough on one’s hierarchy of values, that action could be put off. As an analogy, I think it would be good to learn Latin, but that value is low enough on my list of values that I may never do it. There are other things I’d rather do first. I see this as the only way that an action deemed good or moral cannot be taken. Otherwise anything I deem moral, I ought do.
The problem with this concession is that one could argue that those that have significantly more resources could and therefore should save many of these lives. Bill Gates could adopt many of these types of children, and even if he doesn’t want to raise these children personally, he could even pay others to do so. I don’t feel comfortable agreeing with this as all, so I am very comfortable holding to both reasons 1 and 2.
We probably all know someone that is benevolent, generous and that we find admirable. Maybe it is a family member or maybe a teacher we had. Most people would praise this person for being altruistic. But I think there is another cause for admiration. I think this type of benevolence is motivated by a respect for oneself and by happiness in one’s own life. People who are happy and enjoy their lives seem to want the same for others and act accordingly in proportion to the value others are to them. The implicit principle in action is “my life is good, therefore life is good.” This seems to motivate a lot of charitable (or “altruistic”) behavior.
What’s admirable about this type of person is not that they are helping other people, but that they have developed the character prerequisite for benevolent behavior, i.e., genuine self-love. In other words, it’s selfishness, not altruism that is really being admired here.
I’m pretty confident in saying that what most people admire as kind, benevolent, charitable, or “altruistic” behavior is really a reversal of cause and effect. Successful rational selfishness is the cause of the positive moral evaluation, and the benevolent behavior is the effect. Most people mistakenly label the effect (the benevolent behavior) as the primary, as that which is morally praiseworthy. This would explain why altruism, which has no rational foundation, has such a broad superficial appeal.
Looking at the adoption example in this light, I can admire the person who has the desire to help another human being. The behavior reflects this person’s view towards human life. That I admire. Choosing to adopt is the form in which their sentiment (sense of life?) manifests. And as so far as adopting is within their means, it is acceptable, but not praiseworthy in and of itself.
Does my account of these sympathies seem correct?
Are there any other disagreements with any of these comments? I’d like to know what seems correct and incorrect in what I said.
My reaction when I here of such adoptions is to be leery of any claims to morality of the action by people who don't what morality is or how to justify their actions. I do not take it for granted that they know what they are doing in such an adoption.
There is nothing wrong with adopting such a child provided you can afford it in time, money and the attention it takes, provided you want to raise a child, and provided that reasonable care is made in being selective. If you are adopting someone else's child you should have the opportunity to select one you know to be healthy, reasonably intelligent, and worthy of your help -- including his appreciation.
Anything less by anyone is most likely a sacrifice and motivated by altruism. Ayn Rand advocated benevolence and did not object to charity, but only under certain conditions, and emphatically opposed regarding charity as a "major virtue".
Nate, benevolence, in its original meaning (and the way I use it today) referred to a state of mind. It's that emotional state of mind which one has when, in supreme confidence and pressing freely onward toward a personal goal, one wishes success and well-being to every one, and that implies "well-being to the best of their own ability", just as one's self is pressing on to the best of one's own ability. Only in the last hundred years or so has "benevolence" been altruistically tied to "helpful action toward others". Though you will notice that "benevolence" is not a verb.
Just as "selfish" has been twisted to mean "stepping on other people's toes to get what you want" (as Ayn Rand pointed out), so there has been a twist given to "benevolence". bene=good, volence=wishes---simply, I wish you well--that is benevolence.
I, too, grew up in a very Christian household. I heard a lot of these same statements and assertions. And it took me a long time to fully recognize what I had believed for a long time.
I see several parts to this. There is the person's behavior who has adopted the child, the person's belief about it, and the statements they make. Then there are the observer's thoughts.
I don't believe there is any true altruism. Deep down, we can only act in our own self-interest, regardless if our statements and our beliefs match. If a person appears to act against himself, that is from the perspective of the observer. More likely his values are such that he values the result he is going after, or thinks he will gain. As an example, let's take your adoptions scenario and twist it a bit. A very Christian couple who are barely making ends meet with their own two children decide to adopt a child from Russia. They state to everyone who will listen that they are selfless, giving, and only think of others. Their own actions show that is false, though. They selectively think of others, when it is in their best interest. Have they provided security and safety for their children? Have they secured good health, home, and advantages for them? Deep down, whether they share the truth with others or not, they adopt to fill a need in their own lives. And there are many reasons why they choose this child from Russia, or some other country. Some want drama, some want a story, some feel they are helping the neediest of the needy and feel much better about themselves and their life's accomplishments, and to some it is just easier than adopting in the US. I would first question if it really is altruistic or in their own self-interest and selfishness, which you concluded. I would argue for the scenario I put forth it is an irrational self-interest.
When I see somebody who has acted in a rational self-interest and done something consistent with their own interests, I support them. I frequently have read stories of people choosing to help others in ways that they determine, and it puts a smile on my face. In the scenario you outline, I would add the details that the couple adopting have sufficient funds, have genuinely considered their options, the problems they will encounter, have researched the ways to best handle those problems, and have prepared themselves so that they will be successful in raising this child. They realize their adopting is filling their own need, but that the child will benefit as well - and they are pleased with that. A couple with the financial and emotional latitude and the time necessary to devote to this are as well set up for success as anyone could be, and all benefit. That's wonderful. It's mutually beneficial and everyone is better off for the transaction.
I have to say that I, personally, do not see this as any higher value than consciously deciding to have a child with your spouse. It would put just as much of a smile on my face and warmth in my heart to hear a couple detail how they have thought, researched, and prepared themselves for that.
The definition of "moral" as you described is off. You might as well say that it is moral to have children. Now what do you do with an OctoMom? She has fulfilled the stated moral imperative to the nines, or the eights. Is she super-moral? Of course not. She is irrational. Having children isn't any more moral than not having children. Adopting a child isn't any more moral than not adopting a child. And adopting a child in need isn't any more moral than not adopting a child in need.
For one of your other topics, I think you are confusing values and values By that I mean you are confusing morals and priorities. Speaking Latin isn't any more moral than speaking Aramaic or English or Japanese. So while you might think speaking Latin to be beneficial to you, good for your own abilities, or revealing about the world around you and therefore valuable, it is not an issue of morals. Latin, therefore, becomes an issue of priorities as with any other goal. And Latin is an excellent underpinning to so many things. I heartily support you in learning some amount of Latin!
Your other topic of sufficient financial resources to adopt many children ignores two things - what that person wants and what his highest and best use for those resources is. You offered Bill Gates as the example. So the question is, what does Bill Gates want to do with his money? Apparently, he wants to give it away That's great, and good for him - he is choosing how he wants to spend his money and his time. He has a whole set of projects and organizes for those. None of them, as far as I know, involve adopting children. Is he immoral? Is it less moral to invest in vaccinating children where they are than in adopting them? Is that the conclusion this would arrive at? When you state "promoting the adopter's life" you are ignoring the quality of that life. One person would be miserable for adopting that child, while another would feel they had missed out on much of life without that experience. As long as Bill Gates is spending his money as he wants and according to his own self-interest, and not against the rights of others, I will cheer him in that.
Let's say all he cares about in life are cars. He decides to purchase one of everything. Great! And good for him. Imagine the jobs he has just created in producing cars, polishing cars, building garages for them, maintaining them. What a wonderful way to create work that others enjoy doing. Is it immoral? Nope. Certainly not spending as I would, but he is following his own rational self-interest. And, as a bonus, others benefit! What a country. Even if all he wanted to do was to light each bill on fire and watch it burn, all I could do is shrug and comment that at least he enjoyed it.
I have sympathies for warm and fuzzy feelings when they are deserved, when they are earned through rational self-interest. I'm not certain if I could write that phrase any more times if I tried, but it is precisely what underpins this. It is the application of reason in the furthering of the person's own interests that makes something moral. An action that appears to run against that is most likely irrational. I would be hard pressed to genuinely find an example when it is true altruism.
I don't believe there is any true altruism. Deep down, we can only act in our own self-interest, regardless if our statements and our beliefs match.
There are no consistent altruists because if they try it they are dead. But that doesn't mean we can only act in our own self interest. To do that takes knowledge of what one's self interest is, how to attain it, and the commitment to do it. Most people do not act in their self interest nor are they committed to wanting to.
The issue I have is with the rational or irrational part. I would argue this is an irrational act, not necessarily self-interested or against one's self-interests, or against one's long term self-interests.
I agree that there are no true altruists. So we're in agreement there.
I'm thinking through your statement that we may not act in our own self-interest. I'm thinking of a number of examples and where I believe they break down. From the initial example, a person adopting a child, or a person without sufficient means adopting a child. What about a person who gets angry at their boss or walks out on their job. Or a person who claims financial hardships and sees bankruptcy on the horizon, all the while maintaining their level of cell phone plan, cable plan, entertainment expenditures, etc... Each of these people has defined their self-interests. They have defined them very narrowly and short-sighted, and their priorities are set different from what I would set them. Is this really not self-interest? It would happen to be irrational, but still self-interested.
Do I have a definition different from yours?
It's a fact that self interest entails long range considerations and giving up lesser values for greater ones, such as studying to pass the exam in 2 weeks instead of having fun right now, or saving up for a new LCD monitor instead of taking a 20% interest loan so you can get it right now. To invert this is to sacrifice.
Many things concerning self interest are personal, such as for optional values, but they are never subjective (a distinction made by Betsy, by the way). That is, what is in one's self interest is not determined by wish or whim. Unlike Ayn Rand, you may prefer licorice over chocolate but that does not mean it is legitimate for you to prefer short term gains over long term ones and then call that self interest.
Grey, One cannot act in a selfish manner without first acting in a rational manner. In other words, if one's choices are irrational then they cannot be selfish.
Here in Sweden I have not seen such an awful lot of generosity towards individuals from poverty-stricken countries in the Third World. Quite the opposite. An awful lot of my fellow Swedes earnestly urge our politicians to send even more of the immigrants and refugees from the Third World back to a doubtful future. An awful lot of Swedes are awfully hard-hearted towards those brave individuals who often risk everything (which is usually not a lot) they have in order to get a chance to build themselves a better future in Sweden.
I ask myself - what if most Americans had been like so many of today´s Swedes back in 1926, when Ayn Rand came to America in order to escape the hell on earth which was the Soviet Union? And I ask myself - does it not stand to reason that at least some of the immigrants and refugees who are "sent back" by my niggardly and callous fellow Swedes are probably the same kind of individuals as that young, ambitious Ayn Rand? Surely few, if any, of them are world class geniuses like her. But many of them might be her moral equals. Is it not a monstrous evil to break their hearts by sending them back, just when they thought that they had reached a once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape destitution and tyranny?
I say that socialist Sweden is *not* full of goodwill towards our fellow men. Socialism does *not* breed benevolence and kindness. Today´s egalitarian Sweden is a cesspool of human depravity. It seems that almost everyone here hates the good.
I think that there *are* a lot of people out there who do *truly* believe that the ideal of altruism, i.e. self-sacrifice *is* the moral ideal. But they find themselves unable to practice that moral ideal, since they do not have the stomach to commit suicide. And consequently they go through life feeling guilty, damning existence and trying to *harm* others. I see that all the time here in Sweden. A society whose culture is, of course, permeated by the altruist doctrine of morality.
I was thinking about this last night and think you and ewv are saying the same thing. Self-interest, by definition, is examined and rational, that it cannot be irrational, and "rational self-interest" is redundant.
I had drawn a different distinction - as long as the decision is a free decision (not coerced), it is in the self-interest of the person making the decision, it is reflecting their priorities and values, at least at that moment. Then the examination can be made as to how rational the decision was.
I have to say I prefer this separation of the two elements. Having self-interest, by definition, contain rationality makes it complicated to discuss greed, hedonism, and other concepts. Those are all driven by self-interest, but an irrational, immature, and short sighted self-interest, even a destructive self-interest. It becomes easier to understand motivations and decisions to have self-interest as the underlying foundation for them all.
If we take the compound definition of "self-interest," how would that change the assessment of Nate's situation he shared?
It makes no sense to refer to self interest as being independent from rationality. This would imply that interest is subjective, i.e. that which is good for you is whatever you claim it to be. Of what use is the term, then?
Grey, for one to act in a selfish manner, they must first be rational and for one to be rational they must be tied to reality/existence. That which enhances life is the good and that which destroys life is the bad, remember the moral standard that guides one's choices is life, not what feels right. So a person cannot be acting in a selfish manner unless they can tie their thoughts and actions to reality and the positives that those actions bring.
For one to say they are going to claim bankruptcy and keep spending their income on irrational activities and items is not a selfish act. Short term they may still get to keep some of their values, but in the long term reality always wins. This type of person is attempting to fight or escape the facts of reality which is harmful to their life not beneficial.
To be selfish is an amazingly demanding thing to do as one's thoughts and actions have to be integrated toward enhancing one's life; long-term, mid-term and short-term and in that specific order.
A person being "irrationally selfish" comes down to this - such a person *wants* to benefit himeslf, he may very well be *trying* to be selfish. But he is *not* succeeding at actually being selfish.
"Irrational selfishness" might be said to be "an unsuccessful attempt to be seflish". And often, it is not even an *honest* attempt.
One could assume that a primary reason for giving up a child for adoption is that the parents don't believe they can provide a quality life for the child. On that assumption, every child available for adoption would be in a difficult situation and the adoptions would elevate their circumstances.
However, undoubtedly the difficulty of the situations across children up for adoption will differ, with some being in far worse situations than others (e.g., children in third-world countries vs. America). An adoption of a third-world child by, say, an American couple would vastly improve the child's situation as compared to being adopted into a less free or poorer country (although I'm not here considering the personal characteristics of the parents, which are just as, if not more, important as wealth or freedom).
If the American couple who wishes to adopt a child has essentially equal access to children across the world, but chooses the child from the third-world country because it is a third-world country, then the primary criteria they seem to be using is the pitiability of the child's situation (if not the child himself). That smacks of altruism to me.
However, if they choose that child because the adoption processes and wait times are very difficult in their own or other countries, then they might choose the child from the third-world country simply for those reasons. In other words, it's not about how pitiful the child or his circumstances are; it's about what they want and how quickly and reasonably they can get it.
That's difficult to say. Most parents I know consider their children as promoting their lives. Their children are at the top of their value hierarchies, and the joy they received in having them is rationally selfish. However, if, as others have pointed out, they adopt the child without the means to support it, as a matter of self-sacrifice to allegedly elevate the child from an otherwise miserable fate, then that is selfless.
A thought on the second point: One might concede that this action is still moral or good, but if it falls low enough on one’s hierarchy of values, that action could be put off. As an analogy, I think it would be good to learn Latin, but that value is low enough on my list of values that I may never do it. There are other things I’d rather do first.
I agree with this, too. As you point out, people either mis-label as altruism what is actually rationally selfish behavior, or they simply don't know the distinction and so go with the commonly used expression.
Do you have sympathies for admiring this behavior, as I do? Or when you hear my friend’s statement, do you place no moral worth on this behavior?
For me it depends on the motivations: do they adopt the child because they want it, or because they want others to view them as moral and get pats on their backs for supposed benevolence? Those in the latter category are not genuinely benevolent or, at best, have a mix of benevolence and contempt for the object of their affections.
bene=good, volence=wishes---simply, I wish you well--that is benevolence.
I don't believe there is any true altruism. Deep down, we can only act in our own self-interest, regardless if our statements and our beliefs match. If a person appears to act against himself, that is from the perspective of the observer.
I disagree with this point. People can, and do, act against their best interest. Just because I choose to do something, that doesn't mean it's in my best interest. What I want and what's good for me are not necessarily the same thing.
I frequently have read stories of people choosing to help others in ways that they determine, and it puts a smile on my face.
This is getting to the heart of my question. Why does it put a smile on your face? Most of us grow up being told that this is good because it helps someone else. If that is the only reason you like this, then you are an altruist.
If you like this simply because someone is acting in a way of their choosing, you are a relativist. That standard doesn't necessarily render it as either egoism or altruism. If we follow our whims, we may end up acting either egoistically or altruistically. A rational standard is needed to help us decide.
The definition of "moral" as you described is off. You might as well say that it is moral to have children.
I didn't exactly give a definition of morality. I am assuming the morality that Ayn Rand gave. The brief standard I gave was meant to stand in its place, not to restate it all. And I don't know what I said that would lead you to conclude that it is moral to have children.
The purpose to morality is to help us decide which values to choose and which actions to take in obtaining those values. I do treat the choice to be educated as a moral decision. And learning Latin has the potential to be valuable towards learning things that have an impact on my life, so I place some moral worth on it. But since I evaluate that impact as relatively small, in comparison to other things I could choose, it is very low on my hierarchy.
You're right; I wasn't very clear on this. I certainly didn't mean to say there's no value in either adopting a child of having your own. There certainly is. What I meant was that adoption is something that does not necessarily promote one's life, and therefore isn't something all people ought do.
This is interesting. If I plan on adopting a child, and I am choosing between adopting a child from America vs. a child from a third-world country, that choice to me boils down to raising the quality of life of a child from a 6 to an 8 vs from a 1 to and 8. All other things being equal, I would choose the latter. That choice does seem altruistic (since the other person is the standard of the choice), but it also seems like the right choice. I would feel good about making that choice.
What I would feel good about is not so much that I am helping another person per se, but because of why I want to help another. If I simply believe it is good to help other people, I am mistaken. That is altruism. But if my desire to help others is the result of my valuing of human life, and my valuing of human life is the result of me valuing my own life, and me valuing my own life is the result of some level of success by me in living a rationally selfish life, then there is reason to admire this choice. I wouldn't say the choice is moral; the choice is the effect not the cause. The cause (living life well) is what is moral; the "altruistic" act is the effect and therefore is neither moral nor immoral.
Henrik reminds us of how non-charitable people actually are living under altruism and socialism. And Objectivism teaches us that what America lacks is the proper moral foundation for individualism and capitalism. I am sure that as America has devolved over the last 200+ years, many identified the benevolent and charitable nature of Americans as rooted in altruism and said that we need to return to that. These people misidentified the cause and effect relationship. What we need to return to is individualism/egoism and be conscious of the fact that charitable behavior is not moral, but is properly rooted in something moral. I think that this is a valuable distinction to keep in mind.
Many things concerning self interest are personal, such as for optional values, but they are never subjective (a distinction made by Betsy, by the way).
Interesting point. Is there a post on The Forum that elaborates on this?
Nate, you say, "...if charitable behavior is the result of good will towards man qua man, there is reason to admire that behavior." Note that charitable behavior is not a necessary result. Look at what good will is involved when a man sees a boy struggling with a problem, and out of admiration for the boy's tenacity, does not help him, but lets him struggle alone and finally succeed alone, without anyone's help. How much greater the man's joyous admiration; and how great is the boy's pride. I would rather read a self-help story than an other-help story. In the former I get to view courage and independence, in the latter, not. In fact, I would read the former for personal pleasure; the latter only if you paid me.
I agree. I am not saying that charitable behavior ought follow given the preconditions I mentioned; that would be altruism. I am simply saying that when it does, there is reason to respect or admire the person performing the action.
I don't agree. Why is he admirable? What if the person he helps could have made it without the help? Wouldn't his action then be damnable?
The character that led to the desire to help is what's admirable. And I'm assuming that we would evaluate the charitable action as actually helpful. | 2019-04-23T14:25:50 | http://forums.4aynrandfans.com/index.php?/topic/12537-altruism-and-things-sometimes-labeled-as-such/&page=3 |
The city of Roswell is located in Fulton County, Georgia. The city is named after Roswell King, who settled the city to build Cotton mills and plantation homes. General Sherman came through the city in 1864 and burned down all of the cotton mills and had all of the employees shipped north so that the cotton mills would not rebuilt. After the war, King return to Roswell and rebuilt all of the cotton mills and all production continued. Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, the mother of Theodore Roosevelt, was from Roswell.

A few years ago my little sister moved to Berlin. Whilst I visited her we naturally decided to break into a famous abandoned theme park that was neglected, draped in vines and promised adventure. This tale ended sadly and after climbing the 8-foot high fence she suddenly gained a new fear of heights, and fences. After much squabbling she took a leap of faith only to land on her ankle and look at me with tear filled eyes and murmur..."I just broke my foot".
Determined to fulfill our destiny late last year we revisited the site ready to tackle the fence. However, it had grown. Clearly we had not been the only ones to trespass and security had been stepped up. Undeterred we circled the fence like hungry wolves and I spotted a burrow. Genius. Under rather than over...much safer.
I visited a few universities this week to talk. I was asked if I always knew I wanted to be a photographer and I replied that, yes, I did. Photography is my passion, my identity and something I dream of doing for the rest of my life, but I'm open-minded. I applied for a job at thisamericanlife a few years back for example.

It is with great celebration that we announce we are again selling locally made goat's milk soap. Since the demise of Robin's Nest Goats Milk Soap, Dixon has been feeling the loss, even while more and more people are keeping goats. willow bay naturals is Marcy Moorhead's company out of Rock Falls, IL, and she has been experimenting with all-natural, food-grade-only ingredients for many years now and selling at fairs. I am holding a White Tea & Ginger right now and it smells sharp and pungent, perfect for those who gag at the sweet fragrances like raspberry or vanilla bean (which we also have). One customer was happy to see Patchouli which he likens to the smell of an old-fashioned after-shave. And, the unscented is truly unscented, made with no dyes either, perfect for those with sensitivities. Each 4-4.5 oz bar is only $5. A book, a bath and a bar of willow bay naturals goat's milk soap -- what could be better?

I came across this short clip of some squat-jump stair work over at the Straight to the Bar site. This is a pretty good approximation of the types of dual-leg hops I like to perform in my stadium workouts. Personally, though, I’d go through the motions much more quickly — especially the landing/launch transition of each hop. I like to imagine each step being griddle hot, therefore making a fast fast transition paramount. This is the same idea behind lessening the ground contact time in the sprint. The goal is to maximize the power output generated with each foot-strike via an elastic explosion. The backwards bear crawl is an interesting idea; analogous to my ballistic decline pushups. Gotta love that killer, down-under accent, as well.
And then there’s Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training; a few questions and answers via Rusty Moore’s Fitness Black Book. Call it HIT, call it Turbulence Training, call it CrossFit, call it Track and Field sprint, jumps or throws training — call it what you will, but the underlying precepts, the physiology behind why this type of training is so thoroughly effective are the same.
Now, I tend to pick and choose across and between all these types of methodologies to cobble my version — the TTP version — of physical culture. Knowing your goals, and recognizing your limitations and obstacles, continually re-calibrating, reassessing — are my actions still in support of my goals? Have I properly addressed any new limitations and/or obstacles? — these things, in my opinion, are paramount to reaching your ultimate, long-term, fitness success. Only you can establish, and continually re-evaluate, your goals.
And, too, only you can truly assess your limitations and obstacles. Only you can actually put forth the effort to get it done right. But that’s what I love — and I hope that you love — about health and physical culture; it cannot be bought. Yachts can be bought, but if you aim to look damn fine on the yacht, you’ve got to pay — with sweat and effort — your dues. Sweat and effort are the only currency of import in this endeavor; and I have to say that I derive great satisfaction from knowing that truth.
Yeah, Monday, the tenth, is my 44th. I plan on taking and posting a picture then — I think it’s a good opportunity to visually chronicle the benefits the Paleo lifestyle. I don’t do this picture-posting thing for self flattery, I do it because I really want folks to see that a fit body can be had and maintained even at middle-age, and even while mostly occupied by a time-demanding desk job — and all that surrounds living a real life. We’ll see how it turns out.
Great stuff Keith. Thanks for pointing out the turbulence training stuff. Although main stream I am a big fan of Ballantyne’s stuff his works are short and effective and he seems to be a fan of a “low grain diet” eating 90% paleo, worth watching his twitter….. And Happy Birthday for tomorrow its awesome to see someone living the Paleo/EF lifestyle with such vigor, I am sure you look many years younger than 44!
Cheers for the link Keith – great site. Just taking a look around now.
btw, happy birthday for tomorrow. Have a good one.
Thanks for the B-day nods, guys. I can’t believe I’m going to be 44 — I’m not going to get dragged down to middle age-ville without a hell of a fight, though!
Scott — I’ve enjoyed the wide array of exercises you feature on your site. I’ve copped some really good ideas from the things you’ve found.

Gather as much knowledge as possible on shrimp and share it with others.
Prefer keeping one shrimp specie per tank and don’t mix everything up – especially when you are not sure about crossbreeding.
Always buy your shrimps from a reputable source and properly acclimatize them using drip method. Quarantine new arriving shrimp and ill shrimp, separate them from uninfected.
Always wash your hands before and after putting them into your aquarium. There are things bad for shrimp that can be on your hands (ie. nicotine, pesticides), and bad things for YOU that can be in your shrimp tank (ie. salmonella, de-chlorinator, bacteria).
Cycle your tank for a good duration (4-6 weeks minimum), this helps in establishing the bacteria colony as well as starter bacteria powders.
Add live plants in your shrimp aquarium, low maintenance ones will work, it helps to pull down the nitrite level, and stem plants do this faster.
Always quarantine new plants or moss the first days. You never know what your LPS have use to keep the plants green and healthy. Put the plants/ moss in a bucket and do water change. I always keep in quarantine for about 3 days (about 3x water change).
If you are using water plant soil like ADA Amazonia 2, don’t stir the gravel cause it releases ammonia spike.
Keep the water in good condition and adapt water parameter for sensible species. Do water changes to lower harmful bacteria populations. During water changes check the water that you are using is almost similar to the one in the tank. If anyone using tap water then aged water is great.
Use a good filtration and check water parameter regularly.
Stock density in tanks should be appropriate to shrimp size, shrimp behavior, and tank filtration – it should be adequate.
Use breeding boxes only temporary for targeted mating, if you cannot relinquish on it anyway.
Offer hiding places and rest areas for your shrimp.
Feed your shrimp regularly, but do not overfeed as you will have leftover and toxic waste, raising nitrate. Mix their diet and vegetable based food brings out their best color.
Adapt tank lighting to natural day light conditions. Do not keep them in totally darkness 24/7 or permanent lighting. Besides, use natural light spectrum and no extreme lighting like infrared or UV light to raise offspring mutation rate artificially.
Healthiness comes first in shrimp breeding and is more important than color and pattern – do not forget! Do not breed freak shrimp and reject deformities, infertile and crippled shrimp.
Do not dye your shrimp with chemicals. If you use organic food to make a better coloration, do not pretend that coloration comes from genes; be honest!
When shipping shrimp, stick to the latest how-to: Use Styrofoam boxes, breathing bags, heat packs/cool packs and keep stock density per bag low.
Don't give up, during your time keeping shrimp unfortunately many will die due to mistakes you have made. Instead of becoming angry and giving up, learn from your mistake and persevere. A lot of problems of shrimp deaths are mysterious, but research and common sense will always prevail. When shrimp begin to die, instead of blaming mysterious disease or Mother Nature, first try to remember what you have put into the tank recently. Maybe a new rock or piece of driftwood was added and had something toxic soaked into it, or it is changing water chemistry too quickly. | 2019-04-23T12:40:26 | http://www.shrimpnow.com/content.php/279-basic-advises-for-successfull-shrimp-keeping?s=282b8eb3fd937e611d1bea7434cdd679 |

Shrimp farming is considered a “risky business” and often compared to gambling for farmers. It is associated with a diverse range of risks and uncertainties, including volatile markets, climate variability, and production risks. In order to mitigate the effects of unpredictability farmers may decide on a particular stocking density and adopt different risk management strategies. | 2019-04-19T23:08:11 | https://www.cgiar.org/research/publication/shrimp-farmers-actual-gamblers-analysis-risk-perception-risk-management-behaviors-among-shrimp-farmers-mekong-delta/ |

Kanye West debuted his Yeezy Season 2 collection at a New York Fashion Week today (September 16), to a star-studded crowd that included the Kardashian-Jenner sisters (save for Kylie Jenner, who walked in the show), Lorde, Anna Wintour, Seth Myers for some reason, Miguel, Tyga, Fabolous, Chromeo's Dave 1 and his brother A-Trak, and Michael Strahan.
Though the event was a fairly last-minute addition to NYFW, it was a highly-anticipated show — not least because of the fact that as a fashion world figure, Kanye holds much more mass appeal than other presenting designers who aren't also Grammy-winning rappers who may be running for president. Fashion can be abstruse and alienating, filled with impossibly lithe body types and obscure cultural references not immediately apparent to everyone. But in the case of Yeezy Season 2, lots of people seem to think they caught the references just fine.
Like that one candid witness who noticed the naked emperor wasn't wearing new clothes at all, the critics of social media dismissed Kanye's collection as, well, a pile of earth-tone rags. You can't please everybody! But two good things came out of the spectacle (besides all of the celebrity sightings): Kanye teased a new song, and we got these memes.
This just brings up memories of my mother saying, "You want me to pay HOW much for jeans with holes in them already!?"
Who will YOU be wearing to the cyborg-dominated apocalypse?
Sadly, none of Kanye's models had glowing yellow eyes.
And perhaps our favorite: Jay Z's unthrilled expression throughout the entire thing. | 2019-04-19T06:49:17 | http://popcrush.com/kanye-west-yeezy-season-2-reaction-memes/ |
A companions’ tale of a journey into the weird and wild of Oregon’s secluded coast.
ONE LOOK AT each other and the decision was made, no discussion necessary. The day-to-day drudge was showing on us all. Even the dog needed a break. Seeking refuge and tranquility, we were hoping to get totally lost on the Oregon Coast. We scrambled to pack and brought only the necessary items that we would need for living frugally on the coast. We needed to escape from the normal routines of our lives and instead, chase the abnormal.
Though it is well known for its extreme conditions—a place for wave sailors of great experience—the Oregon Coast can captivate those in search of the most elusive charms of less traveled places. We were three, adventure-seeking with a need for something beyond just a windsurfing adventure. Windsurfing was part of our motivation, but we did not want to overlook all of the other adventures and beauty that might cross our path.
Though it is well known for its extreme conditions—a place for wave sailors of great experience—the Oregon Coast can captivate those in search of the more elusive charms of less traveled places. We were three, adventure-seeking with a need for something beyond just a windsurfing adventure. Windsurfing was part of our motivation, but we did not want to overlook all of the other adventures and beauty that might cross our path.
We, Tarina (an accomplished photographer and artist), myself, and our dog Freya, were after an experience that didn’t involve a guide book, tourist information pamphlets or anything of the sort. But with my familiarity of the coast we had a direction. Our goal was to investigate some lesser known and potentially ideal sailing sites as well as search out some of the better known windy destinations along our journey.
Our decision was to start from the north and move systematically south. We wanted to completely disregard the weather forecast so as to see the coast thoroughly, instead of just darting out to the windiest spot west of the I-5 corridor. It seemed necessary for us to live out the true experience of the Oregon coast from end to end, encompassing a great windsurfing adventure with a taste of coastal life. And so, with a bit less than a week at our disposal, we ambled our way south on narrow, twisty highway 101, attempting to tame and be tamed, come what may.
Astoria, the town beyond Portland at the northern tip of the coast, made a profound starting point for our adventure. After a night-time arrival, we arose late the next morning as the sun was unable to wake us in the early hours. Eventually, we dragged ourselves out of bed in search of greasy spoons for that English breakfast, options for which there seemed to be a multitude. Tarina has to have her Eggs Benny, but myself, I like to keep it simple with eggs over easy—oh, and the coffee. Life does not exist without coffee, especially in the great Northwest. After the caffeine and carbo-load, we made some quick trips in and around Astoria. I became reacquainted with the coast’s social as well as natural environment.
It is well known that the coast of Oregon is a dreary, blustery and rainy place a great majority of the year. This temperate climate in which rain forests flourish along the coastal mountain range is ideal for enormous Sitka Spruce, Red Alder, Shore Pine and Western Hemlock. The trees are stunning and endlessly abundant throughout the coast, providing a picturesque and intimate environment and also a perfect backdrop for the mighty Pacific.
The coastal townspeople seem to be a quiet and self-kept bunch, who neither care for busy city life nor understand the necessity of it. Industry has slowed down in the last twenty years as primary resources have become less available, yet tourism has shown promise as a way of income for many people. We found that a different attitude exists here, lending to a slow paced, community oriented, and quaint lifestyle.
Looking north to Washington from under the interstate bridge we noticed a grand memorial for all those lost here at sea during the 20th century. This memorial exemplified for us a great awareness of the ocean’s fury. It was here that many lives were lost due to navigational difficulties in the rough waters at the mouth of the Columbia River.
This moving discovery at the beginning of our trip, combined with an artist’s curiosity, led us to explore more of the history of this unruly coastline. Shortly thereafter, we discovered Fort Stevens State historical site, which holds many military fortifications and batteries, from the Spanish-American War to World War II. Fort Stevens was strategically located as both a military site and a trading and shipping post. While touring this area, the historical significance of the North Coast becomes apparent.
At the south end of the park we were mesmerized by the hulking shipwreck, Peter Iredale. It is here that you can see a tangible representation of the great struggles that seamen of the time had to endure. The Peter Iredale ran aground on October 25th, 1906 on Clatsop Spit. She apparently had been making a fast trip up the coast from Salina Cruz, Mexico with an empty cargo hold. A strong southwest storm forced the crew to wait off the mouth of the Columbia, and in the early hours of the 25th a surging mass of waves pushed her into the shoreline. The ship was a total loss. Though deckhands were saved, the wreck stands as a reminder of the treacherous conditions that persist on this coastline. At this site one can sense the vessel’s voyage and abandonment. If you stay long enough it is as if you reach a symbiotic state with the ship and her crew, leaving you with a feeling similar to a passage through time. Other onlookers seemed indifferent, but we left that cold beach with a transcendental experience. The vessel Peter Iredale seems to run away with you. It is as if the word “vessel” turns in the mind to the more biblical translation – a person regarded as the recipient or instrument of some quality or spirit. From this experience came a greater respect for the ocean and its power.
Pushing south from Astoria with a fresh perspective, we were mindful of this newly found respect, and often thought of the experiences of those seamen. As we passed through Seaside, which is said to have some great onshore to side-onshore sailing, there was no wind, so we decided to drive on. Beyond these towns the road becomes narrow as it winds around the steep bluffs to Manzanita.
Tarina and I stopped and admired the view from above the town. Manzanita, it has been told to me by many, is a favorite beginners’ wave spot for Gorge sailors, as it is typically more onshore.
A good breeze was building in the late afternoon, so I rigged up a sail in an attempt to coerce the wind. Unfortunately, however, after an hour the wind began to subside, so we became tired of waiting. Freya occupied herself by chasing and tormenting the local gulls.
During the wait, tales were bantered of the “man in the gray suit,” and other fierce water creatures. The word from the locals is that the Coast Guard has declared this place a playground for “Whitey.” Truth or fable? I don’t care to know. Stories told and town visited, we hit the road in search of wind.
We drove on through Lincoln City as the day was ending. This beach has always been one of my favorites in past years, and it is also the closest coastal sailing to Portland. After a meal and our first coastal sunset of the trip we moved on to our destination for the evening—Newport.
After camping at South Beach, our morning drive down the coast to Florence had me reminiscing about previous sailing excursions at some of the more awesome but lesser-known spots—such as Agate beach and Neptune. On the way to Neptune beach there are giant sea lion caves, but we found them somewhat depressing, as they are quite commercialized and resemble a zoo.
Florence, a town that divides the North Coast from the South, is an old logging and fishing town. Old town Florence is well renowned, and tourism flourishes there. The first order of business was to promptly take care of my caffeine addiction and visit the coffee roaster near the bridge. Tarina has outright told me that this addiction is pathetic, but I can only profess that I am victimized by a certain corporate giant!
Shortly after my treatment we headed out to the sand dunes nearest the town for countless hours of fun. The dunes provide a playground, and just out of town you can rent dune buggies or go on a group tour of the dunes in an oversize buggy. Traveling out through the Suislaw State Park in the afternoon we found wind and wave conditions at the South Jetty. Conditions were marginal, but great for having traveled to the coast on a whim. The jetty sees plenty of extreme wave sailing in the summer months with some mast-high and windy days. I’ve rarely been disappointed here.

After a great session Tarina and I turned in at the Wasmyrtle campground in Siltcoos for the evening. We had a laugh at how many motor-heads we were surrounded by. Was it a convention or something? What we found is that the area apparently has some of the greatest motorized sand vehicle terrain in the state. Lucky us!
The next morning, we checked the forecast at the Coast Guard station in Florence before heading south to Pistol River. Gold Beach was once host to the Pistol River Wave Bash contest, and it is certainly one of the most consistently windy coastal spots. Rumor has it the contest may return next year. As we drove towards Cape Blanco we stopped off at Big Air Surf and Sail shop in Langlois, to check the South Coast forecast one last time. We found that it was still promising.
We finally reached the South Coast and the apparent end of our whirlwind tour. What we thought was going to be a long week was going by much faster than anticipated.
Upon reaching Gold Beach I couldn’t help but notice the many changes in town compared with my previous visits. There are new restaurants, campgrounds, and an internet coffee spot to help ease my caffeine jones. We were able to find five-dollar camping on the Rogue River at Huntley Park. The camp was full of trailers and R.V.’s, as well as fire fighters who were taking refuge from the massive nearby forest fires. The blaze they were battling, unknown to us at the time, was the now-famous Biscuit Fire, the biggest ever in the state of Oregon.
With smoke in the air, the following day consisted of more exploration of Gold Beach and Cape Sebastian, along with a great hike and beautiful scenic overviews of the ocean. We discovered some beatnik places to loaf around and people-watch. The standout of our finds was what appeared to us to be a housewife on one too many diet pills—complete with eyes popping out of her head and frantic behavior. I suppose there are characters everywhere but this one took first prize on our trip.
Sailing can be had at Cape Sebastian beach and further south at the “Rock.” Often the surfing is good on the breaks between these spots. The sailing at both locations is world class and is accessible even to the novice wave sailor. While on the water the scenery can blow you away, as you are surrounded by rock outcroppings and sea stacks. The afternoon blessed us with enough wind to indulge in some epic windsurfing for a few hours in great conditions. As if that wasn’t enough, the sun then began to set low in the sky, casting a golden glow over the landscape. Gold Beach held true to its name. Sadly, this sunset marked the beginning of the end of our coastal adventure.
Upon leaving the coast we had decided to be clever and make up time on a highway rarely traveled, east of Gold Beach into Grants Pass to pick up I-5. After traveling for forty-five minutes, we discovered the road blocked due to the high forest fire activity in the area. What we had hoped would be a shorter, more scenic trip back to the freeway ended up sending us back to Gold Beach. After our minor setback we were soon on track and heading up the 101.
Zooming north we soon discovered, after passing several towns, that gas stations are not open after 10 p.m. in this sixty-mile stretch of road. It seemed at that point that we had everything working against us in our attempt to leave the coast. Evidently our “vessel,” our spirit that we acquired at the beginning of our venture was disallowing our exit from the coast—an obvious indication that our ship’s spirit intended for us to stay.
As we ran our vehicle on fumes we considered the possibility that we might be spending the night on the side of the road. But with great luck after coasting down hills and easing the pedal on the up-slopes, we rolled into the late-night Chevron in North Bend. The attendant explained that we were among the many who unfortunately discovered the lack of infrastructure in this stretch of road. To add insult to an already injured departure, we received word that the forecast was for the wind on the South Coast to remain in the upper twenties for the next few days. A tempting offer but reality’s ugly head was rearing—jobs and responsibilities were calling us home.
Once on the freeway, we began to plan another visit to the coast before the end of the summer. Coastal windsurfing conditions are good into the middle of September, and with the countless other things to do and explore, this majestic coastline is enjoyable year-round.

In order to understand the development of the surgical skills of the trainees before and after the training they received at our Neurosurgery Skills Training Facility, AIIMS, we studied the video recordings of their surgical performance. These two video clips are the recordings of the surgical activity of the same trainee who attended a 4 weeks long training at our facility.
We are working on assessment of the development and difference in the surgical performance of the trainee before and after the skills training. But we hope that these videos would give a better insight on the need of Surgical Skills Training, especially for the branch of Neurosurgery. | 2019-04-19T13:28:59 | http://aiimsnets.org/research_neurosergery.asp |

The only way to get health care for all our citizens is a national health care system. Medicare for all us probably as good as any, although I have not studied all the different systems used in different countries. I believe the systems are somewhat different.
That is no guarantee that the health care would be good.
Russia/USSR has had a law entitling health care for all for about s hundred years. They have never funded the program. There are few doctors and hospitals and the care is very poor. Russia cannot afford to pay for the needed care.
My point is that passing a law and being able to provide the funds to provide the care are two different things.
Whatever we want to do, we have to be willing to raise taxes to pay for it or it will not be there.
Big Pharma won’t allow a fair system, I’m sure of that, chuq.
One problem is that Medicare gives doctors and hospitals a % of the bill and if they accept medicare they must accept that amount. It is far below the billed amount. Sure costs are cut but if providers cannot make a profit and have no money for reinvestment and expansion they will collapse and we will lose a huge amount of providers. Would you care to work at a mere subsistence level ? Would you care to operate a business that merely breaks even or loses money each year ? Once again this socialist solution destroys and eliminates the entrepreneurial class in our society which is the wealth generating class. Socialized medicine generates no wealth for the providers, wage earners, researchers and innovators. How can a system survive that doesn’t create wealth for capitalist system ? Socialized medicine gets its revenue through taxes but how could the taxes be paid if citizens have no wealth ? Medicare for all would also eliminate at least 5 million jobs. Without those salaries entering our economy other industry collapses creating a further downward spiral in employment . Our system today creates wealth in the hands of people. Eliminating the source of wealth eliminates the tax base which would sustain Medicare for all.
I do support the idea of universal health care as a right but have no idea how to pay for it. Half the nation pays no income tax and if pay roll deduction made they all get a full refund. So if their income level is so low they qualify for no income tax how will the same low income be enough to pay for more taxes for health care ? In addition those already on Medicare will have to have benefits availability decreased while paying increased monthly premiums for less service for the added cost of universal coverage for millions of new enrollees. They already have their social security taxed by IRS on top of that. The idea of the tax cuts it to create jobs and get people of the welfare rolls and on payrolls which increases revenue and balance out tax cuts. Now I don’t have the stats one way or another but that’s the theory anyway.

Nowhere do we feel more welcome than Italy – the people are beautiful, the food is legendary and lives up to its reputation, and Florence is the heart and soul with a wealth of sightseeing, art, architecture, museums, waterfront strolls, piazzas, and palaces. In a word: bellisimo.
Climb the Duomo when it opens at 8:30 am – ahead of the crowds. Its 463 stairs to this crown of Florence in bright sienna colored tile, for an amazing view of the city and the hills in the distance. On your trip up and down you walk inside the circumference of the Dome to see Brunelleschi’s amazing ceiling fresco as well.
Mercato Centrale is a must, this market of fresh flowers, gorgeous produce, local wine, pecorino and parmesan cheese, whole fish and squid, smoked meats is a multi-sensory extravaganza. Procure picnic provisions, or just sample the Italian vendors’ delicious goodies. Outside the market are carts selling leather bags, belts, silk scarves and more –bargain and benefit!.
The best designer resale shop “Street Doing” on Via dei Servi 88 between the Duomo and the Academmia. Loaded with vintage Prada, Gucci and Pucci – this fun boutique is a fashionistas’ fantasy, clothing is sorted by occasion and era, with reasonable prices given the fabulous labels..
Gucci Museum located in Piazza Del Signoria is a $7 Euro ticket to see the brilliance and beautiful people of Gucci through the ages. The Ferragamo Museum in the basement of the flagship store on Piazza Sant Trinitia is not as good as Gucci so just browse the fabulous Ferragamo store..
Date with David –Michelangelo’s David is the 17’ tall man of marble at the Accademia. Buy your time slot ticket in advance – this place jams – everyone wants to see this gorgeous carving from a cast-aside block of marble, now perfectly positioned in his own dome. The rest of the museum is a snooze – but David is big and beautiful..
Stroll the Ponte Vecchio, past the many jewelry shops. Imagine you are the Medici family who had a secret passage over the bridge. In those days the Ponte Vecchio bridge was full of fish markets – today’s gold watches and pendants are far less smelly..
Art lovers- go to The Uffizi – home to masterful Italian artists Giotto, da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio, and Titian. Botticelli’s “Birthplace of Venus” is the best, a beautiful ginger in a clam shell (but I am biased). Aside from the paintings, mostly Jesus & Mary, wandering this grand palace is worth the price of admission. Reserve your tickets in advance, and don’t miss the outdoor terrace bar for a cappuccino or vino at the end for great views.
Piazza della Signoria is great people watching, with grand statutes like Neptune on guard, near the Uffizi, but beware of pushy vendors.
Pitti Palace, on the Oltrarno, is the grand home to the beautiful Boboli Gardens outside, and the lavishly decorated Medici family home inside, plus a tasteful costume gallery that spans centuries. Your chance to see how the 1% lived and dressed in the Renaissance to today.
Gelateria La Carraia on the Arno River is a necessary splurge, I scream for Italian ice cream…near the namesake Ponte Alla Carraia, west of the Pont Santa Trinita and the Ponte Vecchio. Delicious gelato with a view!
Shop at La Rinascenti, Italian Macy’s, and head for the 7th floor rooftop terrace for a cocktail – the views of the Duomo are fantastic.
The bronze pig in Pizza della Republica needs a rub on his shiny snout for good luck while you are in the ‘hood.
Stroll the Via de’ Tornabuoni in the evening, for the elegant evening “passegiata“. From Piazza de la Republica down to the Arno River this fashionable avenue is beautiful at dusk as the locals come out to see and be seen, beautifully dressed… a classic Italian tradition.
Apertivo at Open Bar Golden View is chic, and relatively cheap. For $10 Euro you get a cocktail of your choice, and a spread of wonderful happy hour snacks from pizza to pasta and dessert. Florentines make a meal out of it – get a table with a view of the Arno River and Florence – fabulous!
Trattoria 4 Leoni’s in Oltrarno – try the pear ravioli or the spaghetti con vognole (clams). Mamma Mia, its delicious- ask for an outside table in the piazza.
Il Latini is a traditional trattoria on Via dei Palchetti. From the big jug of self-serve Vino Rosso on the table to the family that runs the place – its old school authentic. Go for lunch when its just locals, less money, and less busy than dinner.
A perfect week-long Italy itinerary is two-three nights in Florence, and should include a trip to Venice for a night, Tuscany with a night in Siena for the classic countryside, and time in the Cinque Terre – the Italian Riviera – to relax after a busy touring agenda. Also, you must see Venice in your lifetime! Visit Italy! | 2019-04-24T08:26:53 | https://www.theluxuryvacationguide.com/florence-italy/ |
I am bringing you Laquerlicious Lacquer today! Michelle, the creator of Laquerlicious, has kindly sent me three polishes to review, and since this is the first time I have come across Laquerlicious, I cannot wait to try them out!
First up we have Rainbow Sugar, a soft pink milky jelly packed with small multi colored matte hex and square glitters. There is also a hint of silver blue shimmer peeking through. Rainbow Sugar reminds me of a cupcake with strawberry icing and hundreds and thousands sprinkled on top, it looks delicious!
Wash Denim is described by Laquerlicious as "a clear base with tiny and small to medium foil teal, white and black matte hex & square glitter". There are many versions of the black and white glitters out there, and Michelle's take is definitely one of the more interesting one! And can you spot the diamond glitter on my ring finger? Love!
Last but not least, I bring you Stained Glass, a clear base with large and small square and hex hologram glitters in silver, orange, teal, pink and purple! Ladies put your shades on, because Stained Glass is seriously blingy and sparkly! The density of the glitters in this polish is just right, not too sparse and not too busy.
All Laquerlious Lacquers are handmade by Michelle, three free (i.e. they do not contain toluene, formaldehyde or dibutyl phthalate), and are made from high quality, cosmetic grade glitter.
Laquerlious can be purchased via Michelle's Etsy shop .

What can I say?!!! Two words…. “Warren” and “ZOELL”!! | 2019-04-24T14:22:22 | http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=63185 |
An ideal itinerary to discover the high mountain and all its elements : forest trails, sedimentary rock cliffs and magnificent panoramas await, as well as your (first) overnight in a refuge! Largely accessible, your course includes some sections that are suitable for the more experienced hiker, but which can be avoided by taking alternative trails. You can also discover local life and history in dedicated museums.
Begin with a gentle start from Servoz before reaching the old eponymous hamlet. Continue towards the green lake, taking an alternative trail to the Tour du Mont-Blanc for a relatively easy two-hour hike. Enjoy the magnificent lake nestled in the heart of the forest and greenery, before climbing towards the Châtelet d’Ayères via a more rocky and rugged route. Enjoy the evening before spending your first night in the refuge!
Pass Chalets d’Ayères and then Chalets du Souay before arriving at the Passage de la Chorde. Please Note: this superb cliff, both rocky and vegetated, includes passages with cables and ladders… If in doubt, take the Passage des Argentières that also takes you by Lac de Pormenaz. Rest here before taking the 30-minute walk to Moëde-Anterne. If you have the energy, why not end the day with a stroll through Collet d’Écuelle.
A relatively simple stage: climb Col d’Anterne in less than an hour before descending on the other side passing by Lac d’Anterne. You can also take a detour via the Tête de Moëde on the upper ridges for a nice walk opposite Mont Blanc and the imposing Chaîne du Rocher des Fiz. Here you cross a very rocky environment, high above any vegetation, before descending to Lac d’Anterne and far greener surroundings. Take time out for a paddle in the water before reaching the Alfred Wills refuge.
The most difficult and longest stage of the route! The less experienced should retrace their steps as far as Col d’Anterne to get down to Chalets d’Ayères. You will cross a track at the heart of the Passy Nature Reserve where traffic is severely restricted. More experienced hikers should follow a section of the GR5 from the Alfred Wills refuge, bypassing the Chaîne des Fiz: after the Cascade de la Pleureuse, climb up to Dérochoir, a dizzying passage within a crevice, created from the demise of the cliff. You will also cross the magnificent désert de Platé and possibly some ibexes.
Things end on a lighter… and more cultural note! A rugged trail descends from Châtelet d’Ayères to Servoz. You can also go by the mountain, stopping at musée montagnard dedicated to mountain pastures and local life. Continue along the rural path to Servoz and visit the « alpine house » style Tourism Office, also dedicated to local history, agriculture and mountains. Time allowing, why not visit the gorges de la Diosaz to cross the waterfalls and streams.

All I planted right now were the peas. I put them in the section I normally put our corn. We have a plot of garden on our church property where we’re going to plant corn because there will be more room there. That opens up this whole section of the garden for me. I decided to fill it with peas.
It plum wore Nina out.
Scott and Johnathan were great help, as you can probably imagine.
We got done just in time for the severe thunderstorm warning signal. Hopefully, it doesn’t rain hard enough to wash the seeds away.
I also found clusters of onions all over the yard – not wild onions that grow in Kentucky, but onions that grew from seed. I don’t know if they’re a result of the bad weather and tornadoes we had a few weeks ago, or if heavy rains just brought them into my yard. I have a few weeks before I need to till any more ground, so I’m going to let them just grow until I really need to move them.
So, tell me — how does your garden grow?
Right now, we have snow peas, sunflowers, cabbage, blackeyed peas in the ground. We’ve got pots of romaine lettuce growing like mad, and myriads of seedlings to be transplanted. LOVE gardening!!!!!! | 2019-04-20T16:47:26 | http://www.halleethehomemaker.com/2012/03/the-garden-week-1-2/ |

The Buffalo Mountain Fire, which began in June, forced the evacuation of more than 1,300 homes and pre-evacuation for many others. The fire came within two blocks of our family’s cabin in Silverthorne, Colorado, jeopardizing a gathering place that had been in our family for 36 years.
Should climate change continue to worsen, my story won’t be unique. Climate change has made extreme weather events like wildfires more frequent and more intense, threatening Coloradans’ homes and livelihoods in the process. We only need to look to the wildfires currently ravaging California to see the consequences.
Higher temperatures, drier conditions, and increased fuel availability (in the form of dead forest) — all made worse by climate change — are increasing wildfire risk across the United States and here in Colorado. Already, we’re seeing that wildfire seasons are lasting 75 days longer than they did in the 1970s. If this trend continues, communities across the state will pay a steep price.
Extreme weather doesn’t just threaten lives — it hurts local economies. As the third hottest year on record in the U.S., the cost of 2017’s billion-dollar extreme weather events reached $306.2 billion, shattering the previous record by nearly one hundred billion dollars. Extreme weather has caused $675 billion in economic damages over the last seven years, which comes to just over $2,000 per American. If hurricane and wildfire seasons continue in a similar pattern, costs related to extreme weather could rise to $6 trillion in 20 years.
The impacts of climate change hit home for millions of Americans every year. The Trump administration and Acting Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler should be able to see the dramatic consequences of inaction. However, instead of moving forward with solutions, the Trump administration is rolling back critical safeguards like the Clean Power Plan and clean car standards that protect Americans from the disastrous effects of climate change by fighting carbon pollution.
With the transportation sector now the country’s largest source of carbon pollution that contributes to climate change, the clean car standards are the most effective policy we have on the books to fight climate change. This is no time to be rolling back standards that are working and helping to combat air pollution. Yet, by pushing for dirtier, less efficient vehicles that would pump more carbon pollution into our air, Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler and President Trump are pushing a pro-polluter agenda that could lead to more intense and destructive extreme weather events like the one that nearly destroyed our family’s cabin and led to the evacuation of over a thousand homes.
The reality is that we already have the solutions we need to protect our communities from climate change. However, if we do nothing to address it, we will face more catastrophes, including droughts, heat waves, and supercharged wildfires that will cost billions of dollars, upend communities, and threaten lives.
My family is grateful that our cabin is still standing, and we’re committed to spreading the facts: that climate change, and wildfires made worse by it, aren’t some far-off threat – they’re happening now. It’s time for the Trump administration to take climate change seriously. It shouldn’t take Coloradans losing their homes to make that clear.

The finite-element approaches are used to the analysis of the properties of acoustoelectronic devices on surface acoustic waves (SAWs) made using thin-film technologies. The device consists of a barium titanate BaTiO3 film placed on a magnesium oxide substrate MgO. The barium titanate (BT) film is studied in the c-, r-, and aa-phases. The interdigital transducer (IDT) is attached to the free surface of the ferroelectric film and consists of a system parallel electrodes (pins) alternately connected to each other via common buses. The commercial software COMSOL is used for two-dimensional finite-element analysis and modeling the processes of excitation and propagation of SAW. The resonance and antiresonance frequencies are calculated for different film thicknesses and values of the lattice misfit strain. The significant influence of the film thickness and strains near the phase transitions and in r-phase on the resonant and antiresonant frequencies is discussed. In addition, a two-dimensional model of a SAW filter consisting of 40 pair pins of transmitting and receiving IDTs spaced 1.8 mm apart is considered. The frequency dependences of scattering parameters (S-parameters) have calculated and are presented. | 2019-04-24T08:44:50 | https://www.springerprofessional.de/effect-of-lattice-misfit-strain-on-surface-acoustic-waves-propag/16535176 |

The Buckeye Police Department is already seeing results from its newly implemented targeted enforcement plan to reduce property crimes and focus on quality of life issues.
On Wednesday, January 23, 2019, the Buckeye Police SWAT Team and detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division served a search warrant in the Sundance Community of Buckeye just south of I-10 east of Watson Road.
The search warrant was the result of detectives receiving information that several stolen weapons may be inside a home there.
During the search, detectives seized an AR-15 rifle, body armor containing steal ballistic plates, ammunition for a variety of weapons and other weapon accessories. Investigators are looking into the possibility that the weapon was stolen from a burglary late last year.
Detectives arrested Victor R. Larios, 29 (T522367) and his younger brother Daniel Figueroa, 20 (T522369).
Both brothers are prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior felony convictions. The pair was booked into the Maricopa County 4th Avenue Jail on felony charges. Figueroa also had an outstanding misdemeanor warrant. | 2019-04-21T10:58:26 | https://www.buckeyeaz.gov/Home/Components/News/News/1302/18?backlist=%2F |

Vaguely disgusted. You walk in and everything feels a little bit grimy, even if you just scrubbed it all down. It might be down to outdated and old fixtures that still look dirty no matter how much you clean them or old tiles and flooring that have seen better days.
Neutrally uninspired. Maybe your bathroom doesn’t create any emotions in you. It’s just a room where you go to do your business and get out as quickly as possible. The white-on-white-on-white color scheme is neither offensive or inspiring.
Blissful. When you walk into your bathroom, you feel like you’ve been swept away to a distant, exotic spa. Everything looks great, smells wonderful, and you keep thinking of more tasks you can do in the bathroom because it’s your favorite room in the house.
Your bathroom probably falls somewhere within these three categories. If it’s the last one, congratulations! This probably isn’t the article for you. But if your bathroom is one of the first two, it’s time to consider undergoing a bathroom remodel in your Bethesda home (and if your bathroom falls into that first category, you need to skip the rest of this article and call us now!). There are a number of benefits to remodeling your bathroom, and we’ve seen them all over the years. Here are the three biggest benefits you could experience once our team is done with the remodeling work in your bathroom!
Help reduce your stress level.
It’s true: remodeling your bathroom could actually help lower your stress level. The fact is you spend a lot of time in your bathroom over the course of your life. On average, people spend about a year and a half over their lifetime in the bathroom; more if you take long showers or do your makeup in there. If you are going to spend that much time in one place, it might as well be a good place to spend it. Spending that amount of time in a pleasant environment could actually help reduce your stress levels, too. Imagine walking into a spa-like oasis first thing in the morning. It’s a much nicer way to start your day, standing under a rain shower head and walking across heated tiles, than suffering through your current cramped set-up. It’s a lot less stressful when you have all of the storage that you need and aren’t fighting a cramped and dirty countertop for space. Having a mini-retreat within your home where you can relax, unwind, and let the stresses of everyday life melt away can have a big benefit on your well-being. Plus, if you are getting the spa experience at home, that could help relieve the stress on your wallet, too!
Create a bathroom that works for your family.
Does your current bathroom work for all of the members of your household? Remodeling your bathroom ensures you are getting a bathroom that meets the needs of your family instead of trying to make do with something that’s less-than-ideal. Remodeling your bathroom doesn’t always have to mean you turn it into a spa, after all. Sometimes it means that you are adding more storage for towels and bath toys. Or maybe you are taking out the bath and adding a walk-in shower to meet the needs of aging household members. Or perhaps you don’t have a tub and you need to put one in for the littlest members of your household. Bathrooms are deeply personal spaces and they should be designed to help every member of your family, with the facilities and storage that you all need. Remodeling your current space can give you all of that and more. An experienced contractor can give you even more ideas about improvements that could be made to make the space more functional for your family.
This is probably the biggest benefit of them all. Having your bathroom renovated could actually end up making you money in the long run. That’s because bathroom upgrades can increase the equity of your house by a lot. It’s one of the most profitable things you can do to increase the value of your home, actually, along with kitchen remodeling. How much value it adds to your home will depend on what you do to the bathroom and the finished look. If adding value is your main goal, then you can work with an experienced handyman to find ways to save on the costs of the fixtures and the work in order to maximize your return. In some circumstances, the value that’s added to the equity of your home can actually be more than what you paid for the remodeling work itself; in most circumstances, though, you can expect to add around 60-70% of the cost of the remodel to the value of your home. So, if you spend $10,000 remodeling your bathroom, on average you can expect to add $6500 to your home’s value. If you really want to maximize the value of your home, find space for an additional bathroom. It can add an average of $20,000 to the value of your home.

A wicked Spring blizzard is wreaking havoc on the Stanley Cup Playoffs schedule.
The Jets have been grounded. The Winnipeg Jets, that is. The team’s flight to Minneapolis, Minnesota yesterday was forced to divert and land in Duluth, Minnesota, a 250 km drive from Minneapolis, due to a nasty Spring blizzard that is blanketing much of the area in a blanket of snow.
Scott Brown, a spokesperson for Jets owner True North Sports & Entertainment, had confirmed Saturday afternoon the Jets' plane, en route from Winnipeg to Minneapolis, was diverted to Duluth, Minn., about a 250-kilometre drive away.
UPDATE: The team has elected to fly back to Winnipeg and will attempt to travel to Minneapolis later today… on gameday. Yikes. Good luck, boys.
Always worth a quote, Jets sniper Patrik Laine had some fun with reporters at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson Airport saying, "I'm not flying the plane. I don't know about the weather," he said. "I'm just going to sit on the plane and hopefully we're going to land in Minneapolis."
The U.S. National Weather Service has called the blizzard "historic," adding up to 10 centimetres of snow an hour could fall in and near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
No word yet on whether the Jets have touched down in Minneapolis or not. Stay tuned, hockey fans. Mother Nature could have a major impact on the 2018 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. The game is scheduled for 6pm local time and as of now it's still on. An outdoor party for fans outside the Wild's Xcel Energy Center, however, has been cancelled due to the large amount of snow accumulation overnight.
Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau, himself always a good quote, said he's a fan of the hockey weather.
Stay tuned to this post and we'll continue to update you on the status of both the Jets' travel plans and on the scheduling of tonight's game. For what it's worth, there's more wind and snow in the forecast slated for tomorrow. | 2019-04-23T00:40:28 | https://world.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/report-blizzard-grounds-jets-could-force-a-rescheduling-for-game-3 |

Rutgers, Carnegie Foundation and German scientists have solved the mystery of how the little amoeba, Paulinella, committed grand larceny, grabbing genes from an unsuspecting bacterium about 100 millions years ago to become photosynthetic. It engulfed the bacterium, kept that cell alive and harnessed its genes for photosynthesis, the process plants and algae use to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar via solar energy.
The process that Paulinella used is called endosymbiosis, and it altered life on Earth by allowing the rise of animals that depend on plant life. A paper written in 1895 on the theory of endosymbiosis by German naturalist Robert Lauterborn laid the foundation for the current study.

Bhattacharya, a study co-author and distinguished professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources, noted that the major finding was that of the microbial world. “When a microbe has a gene deficit, it can in some cases fill that deficit by grabbing the same gene from the environment. This shows how fluid microbial genomes really are.” Paulinella solved the problem of broken genes and is playing an important role in understanding fundamental processes in cells.
This international study was supported by a National Science Foundation grant and a Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft grant and was published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The following is my nutrition log. Since then, I have found my stride with 80/10/10 and have further simplified how I eat. For the first two weeks I ate only fruits and vegetables. After this point I started to add a small amount of nuts or seeds. And that is what I have been doing ever since. I have also noted my training in the nutrition log to illustrate that this is not a fasting diet, it is a thriving diet. The training is a little low, light, and easy as I had just finished Diez Vista 100K and was in a recovery block.
1. Ripe. I cannot over state this enough. Ripe fruit taste way better than unripe fruit. Not only does it taste better, but it also digest easier. I have become a ripe-fruit snob! If it's not ripe, I don't eat it. Eating unripe fruit would be like eating crunchy rice...and no one wants to do that!
2. Volume. Fruits and vegetables have a far few calories per bite when compared to fatty foods, refined foods, and even cooked food. Therefore, the volume of food I now eat is much higher than it used to be. I aim for at least 3000 calories per day. As an example, one banana contains roughly 100 calories. Once I wrapped my brain—and expanded my stomach—around the idea of eating 14 bananas or 10 mangos in one sitting, 80/10/10 become much easier.
3. Bonus tip! Not in the video! For those who have read this far! I like to eat my overt fat source (a small slice of avocado, or a tablespoon or two of nuts or seeds) with my daily big salad. The small amount of fat can be used to make a tasty dressing. In addition, the fat helps the body absorb all of the awesome nutrients found in the salad. And oh, make the salad BIG!
I have really enjoyed this way of eating. I have been feeling great during my runs, my recovery is quick, and my energy levels are high. I have even lost a bit of weight. I have found my rhythm with 80/10/10, and now I need to continue it for a few more months so I can fully see the benefits. Whether you decide to adopt this way of eating or not, eating more fruits and vegetables is something that will improve wellness, health, and life. And that is something that I am a fan of! | 2019-04-25T23:58:15 | http://raw2race.com/blog/thoughts-on-80/10/10 |

Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp. (Nasdaq: TKMR) stock surged some 20% to $17.23 Friday after an update on its Ebola treatment.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration modified its clinical hold status on its experimental Ebola treatment to partial hold, enabling it for potential use in humans infected with the virus.
TKMR stock was halted late Thursday ahead of the news. The stock was up 6.65% on volume of 2.1 million shares in Thursday's regular session, and soared another 6.87% to $15.25 after hours.
"We are pleased that the FDA has considered the risk-reward of TKM-Ebola for infected patients," Dr. Mark Murray, Tekmira's chief executive officer and president said in a statement. "We have been closely watching the Ebola virus outbreak and its consequences, and we are willing to assist with any responsible use of TKM-Ebola. The foresight shown by the FDA removes one potential roadblock to doing so. This current outbreak underscores the critical need for effective therapeutic agents to treat the Ebola virus. We recognize the heightened urgency of this situation, and are carefully evaluating options for use of our investigational drug within accepted clinical and regulatory protocols."
Tekmira stock jumped 40% last week as the worst-ever Ebola outbreak accelerated. Investors piled in even as human tests of TKM-Ebola were put on hold last month due to safety concerns.
TKMR stock, however, swooned Monday after CNN reported two ailing American missionary workers suffering with Ebola were treated, with some success, by an investigational drug from a competing biotech company: privately held Mapp Biopharmaceuticals.
Yet amid the recent Ebola outbreak, which has sickened 1,700 and killed nearly 1,000 people in West Africa, the race is on to find a treatment. And Tekimira's TKM-Ebola does show promise.
Presently, no approved treatment or vaccine for Ebola exists. There is not even one that has passed the first phase of safety trials in human volunteers. | 2019-04-23T05:21:17 | https://moneymorning.com/2014/08/08/tekmira-pharmas-nasdaq-tkmr-stock-surges-20-as-its-ebola-drug-moves-closer-to-use/ |
We have written before on our blog about Westminster City Council’s CEO’s (Civil Enforcement Officers) being put under pressure to bring in a set number of parking tickets. Recently the West End Extra ran a front page story about what Westminster CEO’s were saying. Westminster CEO’s work for a company called NSL Services, who took over the Westminster parking enforcement contract under dubious circumstances, which so far Westminster have been reluctant to explain. Westminster Councillor Danny Chalkley and NSL have both denied setting targets for tickets, Chalkley says we’ve not done that for five years.
Could it be that Danney Chalkley does not know what’s going on in his own department, did Peter Large (head of Westminster’s legal department) not tell him about the forthcoming Channel 4 documentary. Did council officer Kevin Goad not know what was going on, or even Alastair Gilchrist.
Well then, with the help of a very brave CEO we will tell you. Over the next week we will publish our interview with a Westminster CEO. So you can learn about their work, the pressures they are under. If you’re a motorist coming to Westminster you should read this, as it may explain why you were issued a ticket harshly. You will read how the drinks industry are exempt from tickets. Later we will publish what effect the bike parking tax had on CEO’s. But today it’s all about those targets, and it’s those targets which are making the CEO’s job a nightmare.
How would I become a CEO, is there a lot of training?
They mostly seem to take immigrants with little skill, and there’s only two weeks training with an exam.
But you would get the job it’s very hard to fail the exam as before the exam they will give you the answers.
People are trained just to issue the ticket, there is no interpretation, it’s all about how to get the ticket.
You see how the business is run normally the wardens are told not to speak to people outside. So people like you normally wouldn’t know what’s going on in our business. But you still have people inside the wardens who don’t agree with the policy and they don’t agree with NSL, they have been fighting NSL for years.
How many CEO’s feel like that?
A lot of them do but only a small number are standing up and challenging them. If you challenge them you can be sacked, they call it managed out. They can manage you out without people knowing anything.
Have you seen the letter from Councillor Danny Chalkley in this weeks West End Extra. He is saying that there hasn’t been any targets set for five years?
All our guys were shocked and very angry with the replies by Westminster. On the 2nd of October following NSL’s and Chalkley’s reply to the main article published in the West End Extra the CEO’s replied refuting their comments. Our replies were not published by the West End Extra because they were not clear. So we said OK, fair enough, so we have given them an interview. We gave a clear interview. There were a lot of CEO’s attending from different bases. Some of those CEO’s have been working for NSL for years, even since NSL won the contract, and ever since then the targets have been there. So the targets are there, they are enforced, and there are sanctions for not meeting the targets.
Right, go over what those sanctions are? If you don’t reach a certain target what happens?
You need to understand how the targets work first.
The target from the Lexington Street base is 1.33 tickets per hour. For other bases like Conduit Place and VBR it’s 1.5 tickets per hour.
So the other two bases are Vauxhall Bridge Road and Conduit Place?
Well now Conduit Place is closed, because they had some problems there. So those CEO’s were transferred to either VBR or Lexington Street.
You need to understand how the targets work, say you’ve been on the street and you did 10 tickets. A normal shift is eight and half hours, but out of that they take your tea break time of a half hour. Then in addition to that they take one hour off each shift for technical problems. You could have equipment crashing, radios not working, that sort of thing. So that leaves seven hours, which is the number of hours they base their target on.
Do you get a lunch break?
Yes we do get a lunch break, but the lunch break is not paid, so is not considered as part of the eight and half hour shift.
So you are down to seven hours now?
That’s right, if you issue 10 tickets, they divide ten by seven ,and this gives your daily performance in tickets per hour.
At Lexington street base which covers this area, it must be 1.33 tickets per hour before a C.E.O qualifies for overtime , working lunch, bank holiday triple pay. For Sunday work, where a C.E.O earns £24 extra, double figures tickets throughout the week will be ok.
Is that written down or are you just told that?
What happens if you say keep meeting the target, say you did ten tickets every shift.
10 tickets is a double figure. They won’t say much because you bring a double figures in a single shift. But they will be suspicious about your activities on street.
Why would that upset NSL?
They have beat statistics which tell them the average number of tickets produced from each beat. Based on these statistics, they expect every C.E.O sent on that beat to meet this expectation or target, for them, if you don’t bring that number of tickets, you are either a weak C.E.O, lazy or you were skiving. This is foxtrot 3 delta, suppose that beat statistic say 2 tickets/hour…this is what they expect from every C.E.O sent on foxtrot 3 delta.
How wide an area is Foxtrot 3 Delta?
It’s big, it goes from here, Rathbone street, across Mortimer Street up to Cleveland Street, covering New Cavendish Street and on to Great Portland Street and down to Oxford Street.
So based on their statistics they expect every CEO on that beat to do 2 tickets per hour.
How many are on that beat?
We don’t know, they could put any number of CEO’s on the beat.
How do you know which beat you’re on?
Every morning they have a briefing and they give you your beat allocation.
So if their were ten CEO’s on this beat how many tickets would they expect?
They expect each CEO to do 2 tickets per hour, so that would mean they expect this beat to produce 20 tickets per hour altogether. If you don’t meet their targets they will question you, have you been working or have you been skiving. So if you don’t bring in the two tickets per hour, then you must have been skiving.
What does the questioning involve?
You are taken into an office and they will check your tracking record.
Normally your supervisor. Look, among the CEO’s you have the trainees, they are on probation. They do it a lot to them because they are weak and vulnerable. But more experienced CEO’s will challenge the supervisors and the management. But if you’re in the probation period they say they can sack you at any time.
Is that a six month probation period?
Now if you were over your probation period and you weren’t bringing what the beat statistics say you should bring in, what could happen to you?
They’ve got lots of things they can do to you, let me explain, even among the experienced CEO’s you’ve got what we call the loyalists. They will work for NSL, they will bring in anything that NSL wants, anything that Westminster wants. If NSL say they want 20 tickets, the loyalist will get them. Then you have the normal CEO’s they do their normal work, they don’t need overtime. Then there are a group called the rebels, the fighters. They are against Westminster’s and NSL’s ticket policy, so they will only bring in 2 or 4 tickets. But you have to be very tough to go into that line. Because once you’ve started doing that you’re in trouble.
The first thing they will do is check your immigration status. They need to find something to attack you with. So they will check if you’re an illegal immigrant, are you on a visa are you a British citizen, that kind of thing.
Don’t they do that before they employ someone?
Yes they say that, but they don’t do any deep checks, and I know there are people working there now whose visas have expired. So in their position they have to bring the tickets in and the management keep quiet.
Is there any other type of pressure that NSL/Westminster put on CEO’s who are not bringing in enough tickets?
Oh yes it can be terrible, they can put you under an investigation every day or every other day. They tell you that if you don’t bring in the tickets we will put a supervisor on your back. You cannot come late, normal CEO’s can come 15 minutes late, you won’t be offered Sunday work. In fact anything you ask them for you won’t get it. So they become very inflexible and rigid and are looking out for any mistake you make. If a normal CEO spoils a ticket that’s OK, but if they have it in for you and you spoil a ticket they will take you in for investigation.
When they take you for investigation are you alone or do you have a representative?
If the investigation is about a disciplinary action you can have a representative with you, but not if it’s it’s about your DAT or spoiling tickets or ticket targets. Then it’s only you and your supervisor.
Is it only the supervisors that know about the bullying and ticket targets?
No it’s known all the way up and at Westminster. A manager told me that the pressure on tickets came from Westminster.
How do we know that’s true?
I have proof I will give you, he was their best manager who told me that. You see I was working on Sundays, and because I was not bringing in enough tickets they took the Sundays from me. You get an extra £24 for working on a Sunday. So when I was brought before the manager he told me that if the client is paying you £24 extra they expect you to work the extra mile.
What did you understand it to mean their ‘client’?
Obviously there is no other client, so he meant Westminster. So he said if the client is paying you extra they expect you to bring in something extra, that is what they call justifying the hours. You will see in Danny Chalkleys reply he said we only expect one ticket per hour. So in a seven hour shift that’s still 8 tickets, so that’s still a target.
Very interesting indeed! It’s amazing that you managed to find a traffic warden who is willing to be a whistle blower, well done Nutsville and good on the traffic warden for speaking out about Westminster Council’s dodgy practices. I’m looking forward to part two now. Also, please do keep us updated about when the Channel 4 programme that you mentioned will be broadcast.
Congratulations Chalkley for your disgusting behaviour towards these poor employees, that you treat like rubbish! I am just horrified to say the least!
It is good news to hear what is happening our city, this NSl and Wcc are nasty to the drivers and the employee, i beleive if they act like this, they are DEVILS, BlOOD SUCKERS.
We are the citizens we want to now more about how Wcc parking services are because i think Wcc do not want take the parking services in house because they want to make quick money for innocent drivers, and always want to have scape goat and someone they can blame to.
Wcc should have take an action and money making habit, we want services, we do not want contractor who do not know anything else except money, money, money making, this money making habit falls illigal business.
all the ceo’s keep the good job.
UTTER PROPAGANDA. I have been a CEO for over 2 years based at Conduit Place and briefly spent time at Lexington Autumn 2009, and a few weeks in Kensington and Chelsea Christmas 2008. I was one of the first to pass probation despite not getting the 10 PCN per day target they used to set in the olden days. Alas, they went too far the other way and CEOs regularly walk past contraventions out of laziness. Any officer should be doing the job out of a sense of fairness and with a heart to keep the roads clear. It should be about consideration to other road users, and on THAT basis I enforce with a clear conscience, or move drivers on promptly if they are in the vehicle. The officers who issue dodgy tickets do so to protect their overtime, working lunch and other favours they get. But please understand, the regular guys on single shifts are out there doing 4 tickets one day and 10 the next – according to what is THERE to be enforced, without pressure.
Westminster have a right to get value for money for the millions they pay subcontractors to run the on street services. 1st April 2010 Mouchel take over from NSL in Westminster and I am willing to bet it will be business as usual, although perhaps with better equipment and new uniforms.
Propaganda??? I worked as CEO in 3 different borough though not in WM and in every single of them has target sets. Last one was the worst with 9 or 10 tickets per day and believe me, the contract is run by council themselves. about the statement ” walk past contraventions out of laziness”: We were clearly instructed to ignore as they’ll be getting Tickets from cameras. So much for moving/clearing the traffic .
CEO’s these days are highly trained and have very good knowledge of regulations. But despite these still issue tickets where technically should not have ie sign/line missing or broken, time plates facing other side or the contravention itself is not clear. General feeling among CEO’s are let’s slap it and if it’s wrong, driver will appeal and will be cancelled. The gain is target reached.
Enforcements are needed without doubt. But needed overhaul in system. Trained and skilled CEO issuing tickets on technical faults should be fined from wages, Councils should publish regularly names of street where TMO is lacking but still put on contraventions, CPZ to be put on only when more than 75% of public agree and the biggest issue of all, Overtime should be scrapped completely. | 2019-04-26T13:45:16 | http://nutsville.com/2009/10/12/westminster-ceos-tell-us-about-ticket-targets/ |

Search is changing. The large universe of the web is becoming a small, locally focused one. Google, Yahoo, and now Bing are all changing how internet searches are returned to us. Local search, rather than overarching search results, is beginning to take over.
When people enter a search query for “restaurant”, “shoe store”, or even “video production”, they rarely want to see businesses that are hundreds of miles away. Google was the first giant of the web to understand this, and they were not the last. Searches, specifically on mobile devices, are now automatically tuned to the user’s location, which really isn’t a bad thing.
It should be easy to extrapolate the details. Google users are even more increasingly using mobile technology, and the internet giant has recently claimed that ALL searches, PC or otherwise, are made with local intent at least 20% of the time. Combine that with steady increases in mobile searches, and local search optimization and marketing is more than likely to become more important month over month.
Those are some big stats from some big companies. Search engine optimization can be incredibly effective, but for companies that do most of their business locally, specific strategies are essential. Local search optimization is capable of fostering some serious results.

This article studies eight Indian classical dance forms (ICDs) with the help of ancient Indian theory of performing art comprised of the Natyashastra and Abhinaya-Darpana. The analysis shows how all ICDs enjoy the feature of ‘unity in diversity’, how all are united in theory and yet are diversified in practice. Each of the two attributes, ‘unity’ and ‘diversity’, are analysed in terms of three dimensions or aspects that stand as building-blocks for the art of dance (nritya). The three dimensions discussed are namely, technical (nritta), expressional (natya) and musical aspect (geetam and vadyam). The article gives illustrations and diagrammatic representations at appropriate places. It also reveals the interdependency of these three aspects and their inseparability from dance, throwing light on the huge scope for further analysis under this topic which is technically endless.
Sangeet Natak Akademi (also called as the National Academy for Music, Dance and Drama) set up by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, has recognised India has eight classical dance forms. They come under a single umbrella term: Indian Classical Dance (henceforth referred as ICD). The eight ICDs originate from different states and communities of the nation and are named as follows.
Each of these dances has a uniqueness of its own. Each is vividly distinguishable from the rest all in terms of its traditional repertoire of dance-movements, dancing-style, conventional structure of performance, traditionally choreographed repertoire of dance-items, musical accompaniment, and so on. And yet all the eight have strong commonalities among each other. That is, they all are thoroughly ‘Indian’ and ‘classical’ in their artistic spirit, their nature and culture, and their roots are founded in ancient Indian theory of performing arts (Massey, 1999; Garg 1996; Coomaraswamy, Duggirala, 1917). This theory is comprised of two treatises namely the Natyashastra and Abhinaya-Darpana [i].
Musical Aspect (Geetam and Vadyam) [ii] (Nagar, 2011).
Why are ICDs called Shastriya Nritya?
The original Sanskrit name for ICD is Bharatiya shastriya nritya. Bharat is the original name of India. Bharatiya nritya means Indian dance. However the word shastriya does not mean classical.
A classical art literally means a traditional art of a great quality, or, art which is historically well-established and cherished within a given community or society at large (Merriam Webster, 2016; Oxford Dictionaries, 2016). The term shastriya on the other hand comes from Sanskrit word shastra which means science. Shastriya then refers to that which is scientific in its nature. Considering India’s centuries-old religious and cultural tradition of dance, ICDs are truly classical. However, when we look at them closely, one comes to know about their shastriyattwa or their scientific nature.
The shastra or science which is applied in all ICDs today comes from epics Natyashastra and Abhinaya-Darpana. The theory mentioned in these epics is truly scientific because it expounds all the three branches of performing art (dance, music and drama) in the manner of a logical, technical and methodical analysis. It studies all the three branches independently as well as interdependently. Although written thousands of years ago, this ancient theory of performing art is still found to be intrinsic to the practice of every ICD even today. This is because, it touches its subject-matter in the widest range and also analyses it in minutest detail. It coins numerous technical terms and ideas that are used by an individual artist or a group to express their art and communicate it to audience. It studies all the variety of elements that are required for successfully creating and performing an art-work in a theatrical environment. It studies dance from its technical aspect of mere bodily gestures (nritta), and at the same time it explains how drama (natya) and music (geetam and vadyam) are inseparably present in dance. What is pursued by dancers as their classical tradition is indeed this scientific nature of dance.
As already mentioned, all ICDs are rooted in this shastriyattwa or the scientific nature. This is now discussed in regard with all the three dimensions one by one.
The dancer’s body which executes those movements.
This study includes classification and nomenclature of various co-ordinated hands- and feet-gestures (karanas), walking manners (chaari and gati), pirouettes or spins (bhramari), and jumps (utplawan) that are used in dance (Bhagyalekshmy, 2005; Bhate, 2004). In connection to these movements, the nritta theory classifies human body into various major and minor body-parts (ang, pratyang, upang). This classification is done according to their overall usage in dance-movements. For example, in any dance-movement that is done by using arms, the use of arms themselves becomes primary, whereas shoulders, elbows and wrists move only in coordination with arms. Hence arms are classified as major body-parts (ang), whereas shoulders and wrists are categorised as secondary body-parts (pratyang). Lastly, fingers always contribute to the movement in a furthermore minute fashion and hence they are put under the category of minor body-parts (upang). (Bhate, 2004). In this way, this approach of analysis departs from the study of dance-movements and then gets linked with the study of human body.
Furthermore, the nritta theory elaborates in how many various ways each of such ang, pratyang and upang can be utilised in dance. Accordingly, each such manner of movement is given an appropriate nomenclature and description such as types of head-movement (shiro-bhed), eye-movement (drushti-bhed), usages of palms and fingers (hasta-bhed or mudra), and so on (Bhagyalekshmy, 2005; Bhate, 2004). This approach of study travels in opposite direction. It starts with the analysis of various body-parts and then joins the analysis with a variety of dance-movements.
This logical, methodical analysis of dance-movements and human body makes the nature of nritta truly scientific.
Whereas nritta includes the study of human body and gestures, natya includes the study of human emotions and personalities. It classifies emotions (rasa) or moods (bhaav) of a human being into eight states each [iii]. It intricately classifies male and female personalities based on various factors (nayak-nayika-bhed). This classification shows how persons of different type, age, nature and life-experience relate with others, and respond differently in different situations of life. (Rangacharya, 2010; Massey, 2004). This theory thus reveals its deeper understanding of human psychology, society, culture and life in general. It forms the aesthetic and expressional underpinning of all the themes and stories that are expressed in a performance.
The natya theory further deepens with the analysis of various ways by which the themes or stories can be effectively communicated to audience (rasa-bhaav-vichar). Under this study of effective communication, it classifies abhinaya (the art of expressing) into four parts namely bodily expressions (angik), spoken expressions (vachik), expressions through clothing and attire (aharya) and fourth, the inner state of moods and emotions which are held by the dancer during a performance (sattwik abhinaya) (Rangacharya, 2010).
Effective performance of themes or stories (abhinaya), and their successful communication to audience, through dance.
Finally, this scientific analysis of natya does not remain separate from the anatomical aspect of bodily movements (nritta). For example, the Natyashastra explains which type of bodily movement can be used to express what type of emotion. Some illustrations are: eyeballs moved up and down rapidly (anuvrutta drushti) can be used to express anger towards another person, head bent downward (adhomukha shira) can be used to show sorrow, and so on (Dadhich, 2010; Bhate, 2004).
The Natyashastra gives a broad theory about both vocal / lyrical music (geetam) and instrumental music (vadyam). Under each, it provides numerous technical terms and explains their usage. All ICDs intricately adhere to a musical accompaniment that is rooted in these theoretical terms, such as taal, laya, jaati, raga, swara, shruti, naad, dhwani and so on. This study is so huge and intricate that most of these elements comprise a complete shastra or a theory in itself. Such theories are referred to as taal-shastra (science of taal), swara-shastra (science of musical notes) and so on (Ranjangaokar, 2005).
In case of dance, this musical aspect is inseparable from both other aspects: nritta and natya. That is, in any ICD performance, a dancer’s gestures are always intricately synchronised with accompanying music. These gestures are choreographed on particular syllables. These syllables (bols) are pronounced vocally by an accompanying vocalist and are in a melodious harmony with the chief accompanying musical instrument. In cases where natya is to be expressed more predominantly than nritta, syllables are often replaced by lyrics which are often sung by an accompanying singer. In this way every traditional ICD-gesture remains inseparable from its music.
As seen above, the science of ICDs is comprehensive. It studies all its aspects independently as well as interdependently, in its theoretical as well as practical detail of a dance-performance. Question arises at this junction; how could a variety of distinct dance-forms emerge whereas this theory is one and the same? In other words, how could diversity emerge from unity? Or, how is it that unity and diversity co-exist in all ICDs? The answer lies largely in the history of ICDs and, in the way they have been practised since their individual origins.
The birth and development of ICDs took place in different communities which were spread across the nation. The socio-cultural, religious, geographical, political, economic and linguistic settings of all these states or communities have been largely diversified. This in turn affected the way in which various ICDs developed in various states. Moreover, this development involved creative contributions from innumerable artists. This continued for many centuries. (Sardana, 2016; Anon, 2015; Venkataraman, Pasricha, 2002). Finally today, each ICD holds a unique identity of its own. That is, if all eight ICDs are performed on stage one after the other, the audience finds each ICD to be distinctly unique than all others in terms of dance-movements, dancing-style, structure of performance, choreography of dance-items, musical accompaniment, and so on. In view of this history and practice of ICDs, it sounds logical that a common theory practiced differently by different communities over a span of thousands of years could culminate into dance-forms that are totally unique in themselves and vividly distinguishable from one another. | 2019-04-20T18:38:21 | http://chitrolekha.com/indian-classical-dance-forms/ |
