A professor who ranted to students that all Republicans are racists and had "raped" the country has been put on a kind of paid leave, though his school is being careful to say he is not being suspended.
In August, Professor William S. Penn, a literature professor for Michigan State University (MSU), opened his first class for the semester with a tirade against Republicans and conservatives that the school now admits was "offensive." During the eight-minute, secretly recorded rampage, he is even seen even yelling at an individual student who appeared offended by the anti-Republican comments.
"This country still is full of closet racists," Penn yelled to students. "What do you think is going on in South Carolina and North Carolina. Voter suppression. Its about getting black people not to vote. Why? Because black people tend to vote Democratic. Why would Republicans want to do it? Because Republicans are not a majority in this country anymore. They are a bunch of dead white people. Or dying white people."
Penn's attacks were secretly recorded by a student and soon became a national story and source of embarrassment for MSU. The university ultimately bowed to pressure and had Penn removed from the classroom.
In an email to the student body, Karen Wurst, Dean of the College of Arts & Letters, apologized to students for Penn's "inappropriate, disrespectful and offensive" comments and announced that his classes have been reassigned to another professor.
"On Aug. 29, during your Literatures, Cultures, Identities course, Professor William Penn made comments he has acknowledged were inappropriate, disrespectful and offensive and may have negatively affected the learning environment," Dean Wurst wrote. "Once MSU was made aware of the situation the Office of the Provost immediately began a review."
"As a result, Penn's duties have been reassigned, and he will not be teaching this semester," the Dean added. "A new instructor is being assigned to your course."
Dean Wurst went on to claim that Professor Penn wanted to apologize if he offended anyone.
The Dean's email left some doubt as to just what the school planned to do to Penn beyond the current semester.
Because of that vagueness, Campus Reform asked MSU to clarify the professor's status. MSU spokesman Jason Cody replied that Penn "has not been suspended."
"His employment status has not changed; his teaching duties have been reassigned," Cody said.
Professor Penn has been given light punishment. He will retain his $146,510 salary, as well as all his benefits. He seems merely to have received a semester-long vacation, as all his duties have been assigned to others.

According to today's comments Kameda intends to fight on,or around, May 7th, with Abema TV having the rights to the fight. The details of the over-all show are scarce but it sounds as if the show could feature the return of Tomoki Kameda (34-2, 20) [亀田和毅] and possibly also Kyonosuke Kameda (0-1) [亀田京之介] as well as Joe Blog (1-0) [金沢仁宏].
Kameda seems unwilling to be drawn on one opponent, but it appears he was willing to talk about a fight with former WBA Super Flyweight champion Kohei Kono (33-11-1, 14) [河野 公平], who beat Kameda in October 2015, in Kameda's last bout. A Kameda Vs Kono bout, in Japan, would do huge figures and could well be the easiest bout to make, though Kameda having the other opponent in mind means he may have an ace up his sleeve.
According to reports in Japan Koki's younger brother Daiki Kameda [亀田 大毅] is against Koki returning, but is unlikely to be able to stop his older brother from returning to the ring.

I could sit here and pretend I don't watch any TV and instead spend my days going for runs and testing various brands of quinoa but that would (thankfully) be a lie.
I watch a lot, usually when I need distracting from something a bit dull. I'll stick something on when I'm drying my hair (subtitles or headphones in each ear work wonders) or when I'm doing my make up. Whilst cooking it is Celeb Masterchef (unless Andi Peters has made his yearly return) and commuting to work it is usually whatever current BBC drama is on.
Netflix is still my fave and is so good it has even survived those months where I've accidentally spent £500 on a night out and cancelled everything apart from my phone bill in a mad panic. Based on my considerable experience, these are my top 7 most addictive shows…
(Seriously, say goodbye to sleep. You'll be up until 4am every morning desperate for your next fix)
Making a Murderer
This is one that will stay with you long, long after you watch it. Based around two family members convicted of murder, the documentary digs into the evidence and trial and it's hard to believe these events actually happened. If you watch anything on Netflix make it this.
3 series about Colombian drug cartels may not sound like your thing but it's an absolute must. Based on real life events, it is ridiculously tense and one of the best shows I've ever watched. You'll find yourself in a constant dilemma of whether you want these murderous drug lords to escape back to their super cute children or die horrible, painful deaths.
Pretty Little Liars
It's quite alarming to have just worked out that I have devoted 6.6 WHOLE days of my life in total to watching PLL but watch a few and you will realise why. It is based around 4 girls who, whilst searching for their missing friend, start receiving threats from a mysterious A character. WARNING you will be up until 5am each morning watching this one.
House of Cards
After 3 series of this, nothing will shock you. Based around the US Presidency and the White House, it makes you wonder just how much of this actually goes on in real life…It's also one of those shows that thinks nothing of randomly killing of a main character making it utterly addictive.
Based loosely on the tale of Mary Queen of Scots, Reign is essentially The Crown meets Gossip Girl. Murder, sex and royals going mad are the general three themes running through everything and I absolutely love it. The costumes are incredible and the girls totally fierce. What's not to love?
The Killing
Both the Scandinavian and US versions are on Netflix, and if you can put up with the subtitles I would definitely recommend the first. A girl goes missing and is found murdered in the car of the local politician. One of the most addictive murder mystery's out there, you find yourself absolutely HAVING to know what happens next.
Just a warning, if like me you live in London and are of a slightly nervous disposition, this show will terrify you. Set around DCI Luther who works in the serious crime unit, the crimes he is dealing with are gripping and shocking in equal measures. Idris Elba is just amazing and is where my obsession with him started. I challenge you to watch all episodes of this and NOT check under your bed at night…
And a shout out to others that I loved but didn't fit in with my Top 7 title – Stranger Things, Gossip Girl, Riverdale, Suits & The Good Wife.

Atomiza Atlasta SoftTip Detailing Brush
The Atomiza Atlasta SoftTip Detailing Brush is ideal for general purpose detailing duties and is exceptionally well made. It is also larger and more substantial than many rival brushes, which means it covers ground more quickly and makes working on larger cars quicker and easier (it's particularly useful for tackling large engine bays and vast tracts of exterior trim). Thanks to its tapered bristles, it's also safe for use on wheel faces and polished metal surfaces too. With such flexibility on offer, it's definitely a brush that no serious detailer should be without!
The Atomiza Atlasta SoftTip Detailing Brush is hand-made in the USA and is designed to make light work of cleaning trims, grills, vents, shuts, wheels and engine bays. It features a generous, soft-tipped, bullet-shaped head of tapered Trialoy polyester bristles that will not mar or scratch underlying surfaces as you clean them, and a durable injection-moulded handle with a ribbed design for optimal grip. The Atomiza Atlasta SoftTip Detailing Brush is chemically resistant and able to withstand many years of regular use with both solvent- and water-based cleaning solutions.
Care instructions: (i) after use, rinse under fresh running water (using your fingertips to tease out dust and any fibres) and then allow to dry naturally, and; (ii) store in a dry, dust-free environment while not in use (lidded plastic storage boxes are ideal in this respect).

Mongolian fighters are few and far between, though one who did make a bit of a mark during his career is Dae Baira, who was born Ganbat Bayartogtokh. Dae was a Mongolian who was based in Korea and won several titles in Korea, including the WBC Youth Lightweight title. He won that belt in this bout, against Indonesian fighter Rudy Key.

Pricing FAQ
- How does cloud app pricing work?
Cloud pricing is subscription based. You are eligible for support and automatic version updates as long as your subscription is active.
When your subscription renews each month, you are automatically billed for host products and apps based on the number of users in your instance.
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my cloud pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your host product. Jira Cloud apps are priced based on the maximum users of the Jira products on your instance. For example, if you have Jira Software (50 users) and Jira Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you pay the 50-user price for apps.
The pricing structure for cloud products and apps is as follows:
- Monthly subscriptions with up to 10 host product users are billed at a flat rate price.
- Monthly subscriptions with more than 10 users are billed per user, starting at the first user.
- Monthly subscriptions with more than 100 users are billed per user. The table above provides example pricing at various user levels.
- If per-user pricing is not yet available for this app, please contact the vendor for further information.
If you've opted for annual billing for your host product, apps are also billed annually at a discount (12 months for the price of 10).
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?
Academic, community and open source licenses are not available for cloud apps.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For cloud apps, you cannot extend your free evaluation period. All cloud apps are immediately subscribed by a user, and we provide a free evaluation period. This is a minimum of 30 days and ends on the second billing cycle after you first subscribe to the app.

The property (location of their farm) where my Great Grandmother Bridget Chambers was born and spent her childhood is located in the townland of Letter in County Mayo. According to Griffith's Valuation, "Lietir means spewy hillside. It is bordered on the north by Derrycruv, on the south by Derrycooraun and Derrygowla and on the west by Kilmaclasser."
Years ago my cousin Betsy got the opportunity to visit the actual property where the Chambers lived and has shared with me photos that she took while she was there. I had hoped that during my trip to Ireland, that we would be able to see at least the townland of Letter.
Townland may be misleading. It is more like a housing development or a few houses with lots of land rather than an actual town. As such it is rather hard to find. It is much easier finding it on an online map at home than it is driving down tiny roads with no signs and hoping you don't get lost. We probably got within 100 yards of it.
So I am keeping it on my "bucket list" with the hope that some day I may actually have the opportunity to see it. Until then I will just appreciate Betsy's photos of the Chambers land.

Latest SEO Trends | Recent Search Optimization Tips | SEO
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation, has never been a hard task, until and unless we are up-to-date with the recent trends, search techniques and search engine algorithms.
"There is nothing permanent except changes" – So once you go with the changes, then really you can make a difference by achieving success. The same applies in SEO too. You don't have to give more importance to the traditional SEO. All you have to do is, use the traditional expertise, and research new and modern tactics used in SEO. Still I don't say, you need to omit all the traditional methods, but you can follow a few really good tactics used in traditional marketing as well.
In today's scenario, the best way to achieve better and high ranking is building quality inbound links, anchored with functional quality keywords, related to the website.
Nowadays one-ways links and directories are given high importance than the link exchanges or reciprocal linking, which are not any more used by SEO's until its of utmost importance.
Previously, in SEO, when a reciprocal link is given, they add the "no-follow" attribute. But nowadays, search engines no longer support this. For example, in blogs, if Google identifies, a link as a Spam link, then no longer it indexes it. So here the search engines companies have done a good job changing the search algorithms accordingly.
Also when it comes to SMO (Social Media Optimization) some websites has started no follow attributes. Recently Digg added the no-follow attribute to external links, which applies for comments, user profiles and story pages. But still its only applicable for some links and not for all.
To know more about the recent happenings and updates in SEO, you can visit some leading SEO forums or discussion boards. To know about Google's search techniques, I think you can visits Matt Cutts Blog. Here Matt Cutts discusses about SEO, fun and lot more about books. Really a interesting stuff.
So you need to know about the recent seo trends and seo tips to better perform in search engine to achieve high/top rankings.
Effective Link Building Ideas and Keyword Targets
Generally, when its comes to SEO, let it be On-Page Optimization or Off-page optimisation, high patience is required. Many people who do SEO, expect the results immediately, But it's a wrong perpective. I would definetely take a month or two to know how effective our SEO process is. But be sure, that if you don't find any good results after 2 months, then there is something that you need to take care of. Anyways back to the link building, patience is very much needed for a few important reasons. Below reasons itself are effective linkbuilding ideas.
1.) Choosing the right keywords
To make effective link building, the right keywords needs to be choosen, in order to get quality traffic. For example, if a company sells "Tailoring Materials", it can't choose a keywords as "Buy Cloths", it would bring traffic, which won't give conversion rates. At the same time if the company targets "Fancy Buttons" , "Latest Tailoring Materials" and so on would be the right keywords. Moreover, lot of time would spent, if lot of keywords needs to be targeted.
2.) Acquiring Links
Acquiring quality links takes lots of time. Firstly you need to check who are ready to provide the links and at what cost. Many do give free links, but still, a link which has got good page rank and do it as a business, would quote a cost to buy a link there. Hence get ready with the database of links first.
The most important is to get Branded Links, with good page rank. This is definitely help in increasing quality traffic and page rank.
3.) Quality Articles
Don't just ask for links, that are already written. Its always good to write articles related to topic, and then hyperlink the target keywords with proper anchor text. For example, hermesmyth deals with internet marketing services and blog. So while writing articles, if the target keyword is "SEO Consultant" I would provide the alternate text as "Search Engine Optimization Services". If you would liek to optimize you business name or your name in searches, the you need to provide the right alternate text like if my name wants to appear in the searches for "SEO Consultant" then I would provide my name i.e. Yuvaraj and link to my main site with "SEO Consultant" as alternate text. While writing articles, bear in mind that, a good article with proper link is much worthy for link baiting.
A good idea to get quality articles is Reviews, where a link can be aquired for writing the own product review or services review and posting some articles in blogs.
4.) Other Linking Building places
Distributing Press Releases, Forums, Discussing boards, directory, social media are other sources to provide links. If utilzed properly, this would also help in getting higher page ranks.
Last but not the least, while writing articles, make it look interesting, so the reader will pass comments and also chances of the pages linked is higher. Plan and follow an Effective Link Building Strategy to acheive success.
Next topic is about…. SEO Tips for website restructuring / redesigning.
Choosing Target Keywords – Search Optimisation
The most important thing in SEO, is choosing the best keywords. A best and the performing keywords alone can bring good amount of QUALITY TRAFFIC and thereby increases the conversion rates to a website.
So while choosing a keyword for a website, the search engine optimizer should think in the consumer point of view, so that they can choose the right keywords / keyphrases, which a customer enters into the search box, while searching for something over the web.
So how to choose the right keywords?
This can be explained in a step by step process.
Step 1: Use a keyword tool, to analyse which keyword is most searched in the web. You can use some good free keyword suggestion tool, like Google Adword Tool, wordtracker etc.
Step 2: Choose the appropriate keyword, which is very much relevant to your website and would be searched by customers
Step 3: Once you enter the keywords in your website, using the analytics check out which keywords are performing and non-performing. Tweak the non-performing keywords
Step 4: Use long tail key phrases in the website. Say for example, you are having a Online marketing company, and willing to provide online marketing services. The use the key pharases, such as Internet Marketing service provider in India or online marketing consultant, UK and so on, whichever is relevant to your business and business location.
Step 5: Importantly check, if the keywords, content, links are relevant. Hence relevancy is only way to bring quality traffic and page rank to the website.
Soon I would be back with the next post of how to focus on the keywords internally in a website and external link building.
On-Page Optimization Tips – SEO
On Page Optimization is one of the important things that needs to be taken care while developing the website and content. On-Page Optimization is nothing but "On the Page Optimization" which means optimizing the content within the page. There are certain important factor that needs to be check-listed while doing on-page search engine optimization (On-Page SEO). They are
1.) Title Tags
Optimizing the title tag is one of the important elements in SEO. Title Tags are the first things that are shown when the search engine indexes a web page. The title should be given more importance and appealing enough for the searcher to click the web page to know more information.
Title Tag should be descriptive with the business / site name and the keywords that provides the flavor for the entire content. The title should be descriptive as well relevant to the content of the page, with proper target keywords.
2.) Meta Tags
Meta Tags include Meta Description and Meta Keywords. Meta description should contain the information relevant to the business / services, which would explain the business or the web page's purpose in a short line.
Meta Keywords – the terms that are used / searched by the users. When choosing keywords keep in mind it should be relevant to the website content, and think in the customer's point of view, to provide the right keywords. Don't stuff the keywords and keep repeating the same keywords in the keyword tag.
3.) H1, H2 & H3 Tags
H1 – Heading 1 – can be used for some important title or section of the page
H2 & H3 – Heading 2 and Heading 3 can be used to provide sub-titles or post titles
The above mentioned tags will provide good prominence in search results. Also Bold words would also increase the prominence, hence search engine gives importance those keywords highlighted in bold text.
4.) Hyperlink , Anchor Text & Alternate Tags
Alternate text are used while hyperlinking specific keywords. For example, for the keyword "online marketing" the alt text can be "internet marketing" with the link taking the target website.
Anchor texts can be provided for internal linking. Internal links can either be hyperlinked or can be provided with anchor link, bases on the length / topic of the content. Internal link is also considered one of the important thing in SEO.
In this way, the images also can be optimized having proper naming convention for title , linking with the right appropriate alt tags.
5.) URL Structure
Many do concentrate on the conent , keywords alone and forget the necessity of the url. The url can also consist of certain keywords. Say for example, I want to speak about PPC, then what I would do is create a folder called "internet_marketing" and inside this folder will create another folder as "seo" and then would put the content, naming my file as "Pay-Per-Click". So my url structure would be /internet_marketing/seo/pay-per-click.html
This url optmization also fetches good result
6.) Content & Keyword Density
Though nowadays keyword density is not considered that much important, but still it is good tohave the relevant keyword in the content as well, appearing atleast once. The content should have the keyword, proper h1, h2, h3 tags, hyperlinks and so on as discussed above.
The above content can be considered as "On-page SEO Checklist" or "SEO for Beginners" . To get frequent updates regularly visit my internet marketing blog.

Many factors can influence children and teens' ability to complete homework. For instance, fear of failure, anxiety regarding not being"smart enough," comparison of their academic abilities to peers, and previous negative feedback from teachers and/or parents can often hinder children's self-esteem, motivation, and desire to complete homework assignments. However,parents can help children establish an after-school routine to make the task of completing homework more structured and consistent.
Structure and routine should be a top priority for parents and their children, especially when it comes to homework completion. A consistent and stable routine will help children understand the expectations and household rules for academic importance and can also diminish arguments between parents and children regarding homework. For example, when children get home from school, a snack and hydration is a good first step to making sure children have the energy, both physically and mentally, to successfully tackle homework assignments. Secondly, having a dedicated homework space for children will increase their ability to focus and concentrate. For instance, the kitchen table may be an appropriate homework space if effort is made to decrease distractions for the child. Similarly, in order to increase the frequency of homework completion, a quiet and calm environment may be beneficial in aiding in the child's ability to attend to the assignments. In addition, positive reinforcement, in which parents routinely provide praise and encouragement for the child's efforts, will help boost confidence and self-esteem, thereby increasing the child's desire to continue working on assignments. For example,reward charts and checklists can be a helpful way to allow children to see the progress they have made during their homework time.
While structure, routine, and consistency are important factors in helping children increase their homework completion, it is important to remember that children may require breaks. Scheduling in 5-minute breaks after a pre-determined period of focused work (e.g., 20 minutes of working on homework and then a 5-minute break) is one way to increase children's motivation to finish their assignments. Likewise, parent availability is also key if children have questions or need help in understanding or clarifying homework assignments and requirements. Consistent parental availability in the homework process is important because it expresses that parents are also interested and a part of their child's day-to-day academic journey. Within the structure and routine of homework time, it is important for parents to remember that children and teens still need time to unwind from their day. Factoring in time for play, computer/television/phone time, and family activities after homework completion can help serve as a reward for hard work and effort. Furthermore, a scheduled bedtime and adherence to a bedtime routine will help aid in a child's ability to maintain energy and focus for the next day.
Parents, remember, increasing structure, routine, positive reinforcement, availability, and rewards for children and teens' efforts can minimize homework refusal, and perhaps even make the homework process enjoyable and fun for both children and parents!

In National Apprenticeship Week Liam Byrne MP, Shadow Minister for Universities, Science and Skills joined Rupa, who was visiting Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College (EHWC) to discuss Labour's plan for a young people's manifesto.
New statistics show that the number of apprenticeships in London fell by more than 5,000 last year.
On a tour of the college Liam and Rupa stopped for selfie requests and a Q&A session with apprentices and local business leaders. They listened and also shared Labour's plans to offer apprenticeships for young people who get the grades at 18.
Rupa said:
"It was a pleasure to go back to West London College's Acton campus – where Ed Miliband's own father studied English – to discuss Labour's plans for young people.
"Young people in Ealing are bearing the brunt of this Tory-Lib Dem government, with university tuition fees trebling and apprenticeships falling. Labour will offer an apprenticeship to every school leaver who gets the grades and we will cut university tuition fees from £9,000 to £6,000 a year."
Apprentice carpenter, Harley Riddington, 19, who stopped to take a selfie with Rupa and Liam, said:
"It was great to listen to Liam and Rupa talk about future possibilities for apprenticeships. I wasn't given enough support or advice at school, but coming to College and studying for my level 2 in Carpentry has given me an opportunity to gain valuable skills."
Liam said:
"Our young people have been hammered by this government, 1 in 6 are still out of work, there are fewer apprenticeships and if you go to university you get lumbered with £44k of debt.
"Labour will back the next generation by cutting tuition fees, boosting apprenticeships and introducing a young people's jobs guarantee."

|I will never forget the day I met Camargo Guarnieri (1907-1993). At the time, I was already living in the United States but was spending holidays in Brazil, my home country. It was a winter evening of July, 1988 (Brazilian winter, mind you. Nothing to write home about...) and my teacher, Caio Pagano, a long-time friend of the composer, took me along to Guarnieri's São Paulo apartment for a visit. I remember being quite shy upon arriving and shaking hands with the Maestro. He was then considered the greatest living Brazilian composer and I was merely a young pianist of 22. So, you can imagine, I was very ceremonious about this encounter and figured that the best thing to do was to listen as much as possible. This way I felt I was sure to learn from his insights and ideas about music and performing, in short, sure to increase the understanding of my own craft (I would also run no risk of making youthful and impertinent remarks...).
"The conversation was quite lively..."
|The conversation was quite lively and he was the absolute center of attention amongst the six people gathered there. The problem was, they were talking about everything except music. Guarnieri was then 81 years old already, and had thousands of stories, anecdotes, jokes, you name it, with which to entertain his guests. And, let me tell you, could he talk! He had the energy of a bull and the enthusiasm of a 20 year old. It was simply impossible not to appreciate his infectious personality. But still, no mention of musical topics, whatsoever.
|After one hour of this, I began to feel a bit frustrated. There I was, in his living room, without a chance of learning a single thing related to music, or even about his own works. I thought, "This is ridiculous. I've got to do something otherwise I will have wasted the whole evening". So, overcoming my shyness, I very politely sneaked in a general question about music in an attempt to shift the conversation to that topic. Guarnieri began his answer with a story as illustration. So far, so good. Then enters this woman he met in the story and..., forget about music!
|Now the topic became women. And never before have I heard anyone speak about the opposite sex with so much passion and for so long. He went on FOREVER, giving me all sorts of advice, tips, poetry to read concerning women, etc., etc., ad infinitum! As much as I appreciate the topic, really, that was not the reason I was there.
|In any event, it was a long while till a split second of silence came up ( he had to take a breath after passionately discussing women, love and sex for 45 minutes non-stop...). I jumped at the opportunity and, again trying to shift the discussion to musical matters, asked him about his specific impressions of Villa-Lobos treatment of the voice. He then began his answer by singing examples of a few songs, I don't exactly recall which, and speaking of textures of different voices and "by the way, I once heard a soprano do this one song, and boy she was beautiful, dark hair, really sexy...", I lost again, and just when he was really getting into it. I tell you, I was about ready to jump through the window....
|So, he went on and on, all over again, about the innumerable times women inspired him, what marvelous creatures, etc. At that point, I honestly gave up. I thought to myself, "This is useless. I might as well go along with it...".
|So I relaxed and just listened for a while when, suddenly, a miracle happened and he actually started talking about great pianists of the past. Something related to music after all! He had heard many legendary pianists in concert and was commenting on performance styles, technique, pedaling, all things that were going to make - or so I thought - my evening worthwhile. Then he mentioned the great Alfred Cortot, for whom I had, and continue to have, infinite admiration. So I asked if he had actually met Cortot. He said, "Oh, yes, many times. We got along great. You know, once we were at a reception after one of his concerts and I sat at the piano to show him a piece of mine. He was very impressed with my playing in the pianissimo passages and asked how did I manage to get such subtle and delicate sounds out of the piano. So I told him, 'Well, I close my eyes and imagine I am caressing the legs of a beautiful girl...' ".��
|As it turned out, Cortot's comment was "C'est pas possible!" And, frankly, that was my feeling as well. The evening ended shortly after the Cortot's story and all I managed to get was 5 minutes of music conversation out of a 4 hour visit!
|I never saw Guarnieri again. I returned to the United States and he died a few years later, in 1993. But as time went by and I began to really investigate Guarnieri's works, I came to realize how important for me our meeting had truly been. Granted, we barely talked about music. But think about it: does music itself talk about music?
|Music is an expression, a consequence if you will, of something else. A language capable of extremely high levels of abstraction and magnificent powers of communication. But, surely, the message of music is not music itself. Music for music's sake would not make of music a necessity. The need comes from having to communicate a universe of sentiments, ideas, psychological and emotional states, in short, of humanity, that simply cannot be expressed through any other medium.
|The language of music is not of a linear, cartesian nature. It is a much more all-embracing medium. It is universal, paradoxical and of a dionysian nature. It does not explain; it intoxicates. And it intoxicates us with the entirety of those individuals who wrote it and who make of Art an autobiographical statement and of music the language capable of presenting all facets, even if contradictory ones, of the autobiography. It is a complex idiom that serves complex purposes, it is about ideas that go beyond mere intellectual ones. It is another ball game altogether.
|The music of Guarnieri seems to exemplify the above points very well. It is a collection of his stories, moments and perceptions; it speak about some of the women he loved. It is inherently autobiographical and, therefore, rich of vitality, enthusiasm, colors and sensuality. It is his portrait.

While that's cheaper than the Canon 1DX or the Nikon D5, unless you really, really need to be able to shoot fast-moving objects, then you're probably better off with one of Sony's A7 series cameras (get the mark II versions). These are also full-frame, mirrorless cameras that take excellent pics, they just aren't as fast. But if you're a budding sports photographer and you aren't already heavily invested in glass from another manufacturer, the Sony A9 is incredible in so many ways.

Spellbound by Joan Miró's brilliant exhibition at Tate Modern on Monday, it was fresh in my mind as we set off early on Tuesday 12th July for Augher and Clogher – in it, his 'Ladder of Escape' appears and reappears as a running theme, symbolising a way out, a hopeful exit, but sometimes a ladder of futility, going nowhere, leading to a dead end. Where would the Orange commemorations be leading?
I walked down the Lisburn Road at 9.00, as burger vans and older citizens, armed with umbrellas, flasks and folding deckchairs vied for the best pitches amongst the overnight puddles; rounding the junction of Sandy Row and Lisburn Road, a vigorous feeder parade accompanied me down Gt Victoria St to gawping tourists at the Europa; the mood was boisterous, friendly and loud. One hour later, in the tender care of Edwin Graham, Moochin Photoman and Mark McGregor, we had travelled 60 miles west and a century back.
Augher was bathed in sun, as the bands and Orangemen gathered, in family format, with children tagging along, waving their flags, straightening their mini-collarettes and tuning their pipes, (Brian Ború Irish pipes we were proudly informed, with three drones), polishing their silver horns and wheezing their accordions into action.
We were greeted by our contacts and inducted into the day's events, a feeder in Augher, a short drive to Clogher (where we might view the exhibition of banners and photos in the Orange / Black Hall), and then the main march to the field, followed by (mainly religious, rather than political) speeches, the resolutions (more anon) and return walk; we were then generously invited to tea with our hosts (politely declined, in favour on onward travel to the embers of the Lisnaskea and Newtonbutler events in Fermanagh).
Three points struck me about the experience.
First, the obvious pride and openness with which the Orange explained their traditions, musical equipment and rituals to what must have appeared as a suspect bunch of four equally oddly-attired townies from a political website with a funny name, probably intent on finding fault. People I knew in a professional city context appeared in a different uniform, talking about why they were Orange, and what community meant to them; I had forgotten.
Second, the age profile; I observe all political party conferences here, and marvel at the gerontocracy, wondering how they might attract younger generations and refresh themselves; I had assumed the Orange (was it really Mo Mowlam who dubbed them that?) would also have suffered a similar atrophy; they were certainly in the older category, but you could not say wholly so; all generations were there, numbers were healthy, and if only through the bands, an up and coming wave of younger musical activists were marching too.
Third, apart from the political context, it was little different to the Miners' Galas of Scotland and the North of England – marching bands, colourful banners displaying history and politics together, a big family picnic, huge pots of (distressingly and unexpectedly, counter-intuitively and unstereotypically weak) tea, bouncy castles, stalls, memorabilia, the hint of youthful impatience for something stronger (musically, politically and alcoholically speaking), nostalgic rhetoric about the dignity of labour and the cohesion of community. It could even approximate to our esteemed editor's Tolpuddle Martyrs commemoration in Dorset, or even Cameron's 'Big Society'. Well, half of one, anyway.
But the political context is all; although Clogher boasted no politicians, the religion was heavy-duty (understandably – it is a religious organisation), the resolutions unbending ('Read the Bible, loyalty and faith', with a wee dig at Alex Salmond's SNP for endangering the Union) and the Protestantism unremitting (again, I'm not naive about the beast whose belly we were knowingly and by invitation exploring).
And yet, we who live here all know that interfaces and divisions abound, even (especially?) in the rural community; housing, territory, schooling, arts and sport, worship, of course; tension at the city bonfires the previous night, Ardoyne undoubtedly to follow… one participant told me his brother had recently been shot between the eyes with a ball bearing at this same event, another reflected that although both villages were majority Catholic, everyone tolerated the event.
Clearly not the case in Lisnaskea – where we witnessed the early removal of bunting and flags ('we had been leaving them till Thursday'), watched by a bunch of surly hurley-stick wielding teenagers from the neighbouring Nationalist estate, after an incident attended by the PSNI the night before, now defending their tricolour from early removal too.
We tasted 'Nationalist beer' in empty premises, and the 'Unionist' equivalent in crowded bars – couldn't taste the difference in the beer, only in the atmosphere.
Mark (McGregor) won't mind my observing that he had woken up early and travelled 60 miles to be offended, and so, offended he was to be; but in a curious and fun-filled kind of way. Edwin (Graham) saw everything through the prism of fairness and objective assessment, and Moochin Photoman observes through the lens of truth – as I was dropped off 12 hours later on the Lisburn Road, now crunching with broken bottles, swimming with beer and urine, echoing with chants and menace from the noisy bars, we all noted that Ardoyne was only up the road, but a world of difference from the amiable Clogher Valley.
That set me pondering the ladder again; the Orange collarette often carries a facsimile of Jacob's Ladder (to Heaven); not Miró, but a metaphor yet for escape, but escape to what? Climbing to a better future, or aiming for futility and a dead end?

I'm also thankful for the rain that's coming this weekend. The water is much needed, and it will force us to slow down and relax a little and stop running around frantically.

2. full or deep consideration; reflection: religious contemplation.
3. purpose or intention.

This is my little corner of the web for my own contemplations.

Our landlord is buying us new windows. There are three men walking through and around the house measuring. They seem confused. So either one is training the other two, or they all are confused and are going to mess this up. I really hope it's the first.
Happenings as of Late
New/Noteworthy: Got a haircut a week ago. Tired of the long hair, old color, split ends, and weird reactions to being pregnant.
Interesting Activity: Went to a Pumpkin Carving Party Yesterday. We all had a lot of fun. Got to meet new people, eat good food, laugh, be creative, have fun.....

You will all be so thrilled to know that we figured out why we couldn't turn our furnace on. The batteries in the thermostat had exploded and there was battery acid all over the place.
So we took them out, cleaned it up, and replaced the batteries.
Now we have a working thermostat.
I played with it some and go the time set and figured out how to program it. Now to just program it correctly.

sigh ... hrmph ... grrrrr ... and all that jazz
Part of my annual review is to pitch one idea that will help lower operational costs. I had an idea. I don't know if it was a good idea, but it was an idea. I brainstormed about it and after discussion decided that it wasn't really a big cost saver, and probably wouldn't go over well by some people.
So I didn't say anything.
Yesterday somebody else pitched a VERY similar idea to the VP and he thought it was great.
you snooze you lose I guess.

Things I notice when riding to work each day...
- We pass between 3 and 4 McDonald's depending on the way we go to work and that many Starbucks. I think I counted at least 15 fast food joints total between McD's, Burger King, Wendy's, Carl's Jr, etc.
- There is at least 1 person who runs a red light.
- Every road in California has some sort of construction
- Speed limits are optional, especially on the freeway
- The hands-free law is ignored by most drivers
- Drivers are selfish and refuse to get over early, so they merge at the last second forcing people to slam on their brakes and thus causing a back-up in the merge or exit lane ... which then causes more people to not get over early and wait until the last second (viscious cycle).
- The more expensive or junkie your car, the more right you have to drive like a moron.

Pregnant Happenings
I get it.
I understand why women feel fat when they are pregnant. I always said, "You don't need to feel fat. You're pregnant. You have a growing baby inside of you." But here I am, only 7 weeks pregnant, and I feel fat. I know it's mostly water retention right now, but I still feel it. By the end of the day my belly is sticking out and I look fat and chunky.
I'm trying not to feel fat. I'm trying to eat the right foods. I'm trying to still get my exercise.
Of course, this would all be easier if I weren't feeling nauseous, didn't have a headache, weren't hungry, and my skin didn't ache. It's such a weird sensation to be hungry and nauseous at the same time. Knowing I need and want to eat, but nothing is appetizing at all. I have to force myself to eat something ... anything that I can keep down. And I eat it slowly. VERY slowly. I've not thrown up yet, which is good. But the nausea still isn't fun.
I'm not sure if I'm getting sick, or if this is just how I feel when I'm pregnant. Being my first pregnancy, I can't answer that. But I'm doing what I can to make myself feel better ... especially since I have an important event in EIGHT days.
I find that I'm better when I am doing stuff. My head hurts more and my stomach is in bigger knots when I'm sitting still doing nothing. So I'm trying to get away from my desk and work in the lab; get off the couch and clean the house or go walking. But I have to convince myself that I have the energy to do such things in order for it to happen.
Lastly ... I hurt my back the other day. I was laying on the couch in the tiniest of tiny balls cuddling with Josh. When I got up my shoulder blade area hurt so bad I could hardly move. It's not gotten much better. Sleeping is hard. It gets better throughout the day ... but it hurts so much in the morning.
OK. Enough griping for today.
New/Noteworthy: feeling nauseous
Interesting Activity: while printing programs for the wedding, I ran out of ink. Took me THREE seperate outings to Office Max to actually purchase new ink.
Biggest Accomplishment: Got my desk cleaned off and the lab cleaned out in preparation for my vacation in a week.

In the mid 70's I was introduced to fishing for permit and mutton snapper by
my mentor and friend Capt. John Emery. John was very fond of the fishing in
Key West for these fish. Muttons were very common on the flats, hitchhiking
on the backs of sting rays. Each year I would make a trip to the lower keys
in October to fish for these fish. Muttons became harder to find over the
years and I found lodging with a boat slip more difficult.. Weather was
seldom a problem in the keys in Oct. But if the wind blows you are pretty
exposed. When I started booking customers to fish in Key West we would
loose a day here and there to heavy winds. Since we were there for the
fishing only, I started to explore the keys around Big Pine. This is were a
meet a few friends that enjoy permit fishing as much as I do. I must say that I
think the learning curve for finding permit on a regular basis was for me the
hardest of all the inshore fish I know. With the increase protection that the
permit have received and the increased knowledge of there habitat, I must
say my numbers are as high as the tarpon that my customers catch these
days. Better fly designs, fly lines and just a better understanding of what
permit do, have made them a very exciting quarry. There shear numbers
are astounding. Schools of surface swimming fish of a 100 or more is a sight
to see. Most of the places I fish in the Keys today are not pressured by
other guides and anglers in October, making it equally exciting knowing
when you find them, no one else has been pursuing them. Weather you like
fly fishing or using light tackle with a silver dollar crab to pursue permit. I
don't think there is a better place or time to fish for permit. I always look
forward to October rolling around to pursue the elusive Permit. Now is your
chance to enter into the world of the permit. Along with your fishing
excursion, I will be providing lodging at a private camp in the lower keys.
Couples will stay in the upper level in the permit room. This is the luxury
suite, equip with all the amenities needed and a queen size bed that will
help make those sore muscles (from fighting permit) relax. For the guys.
You will be put in the bonefish room. Twin beds is the arrangement here. I
will be staying in the redfish room and if the owner is in, he will be in the
Tarpon House. The boat will be only a few feet away with fuel and Ice ready
each day. Lunch will be what you make as the rooms all are self contained.
We will make runs to the nearby Winn-Dixie when needed. I will act as chef
each night with fresh mangrove snapper, which we will catch on our way in
each evening! If fish is not your choice, we can pick up whatever you like at
the Beef People store. We will make a run oceanside and to the gulf side
each day and will always be running protective waters. Usually you will be
fishing within 20-30 min. from the camp. Sight fishing will be the order each
day. The bonus fish and for those who would like to be recognized for
catching Grand Slam, there will be the opportunity of catching bonefish and
tarpon. In good weather Permit fishing is great, in bad weather permit fishing
is great. So don't miss out on this opportunity to have a great time fishing
the Florida Keys.
Rates: Lodging and Charter: $
.00 daily (one or two anglers or guest)

Barbara Bretton, author of the new book Laced with Magic, stopped by to share with us a piece she wrote.
10 Ways to Fight Writer's Block
by Barbara BrettonWriter's block is real, it's powerful, and it can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Block is the flip side of creativity. No writer wants to admit her Muse has gone MIA. I've been there. I know how it feels when the words just won't come. Here are ten tricks I've discovered to lure her back to work.
1. Don't fight it. Writer's block feeds on anxiety. Recognize that block is a temporary condition. There are enough things in life to feel guilty about. This isn't one of them.
2. If you see you're in serious trouble with a deadline. Call your editor immediately! Better to face embarrassment asking for an extension than to find yourself with 400 pages to write and 24 hours in which to do it.
3. Vary your routine. Nothing deadens creativity like boredom. Try writing outdoors, in a room other than your office, in front of a crackling fireplace or on a sunny beach. (Laptops are a boon to restless writers, but a notebook and pen will do just fine.) Try writing something different: a mainstream novel, a mystery, the book you've always dreamed of writing. Promise yourself some time each day (whatever you can spare) to work on it, and then relax and enjoy it.
4. Don't go into hiding. Guard against isolationism. Even the most fertile imagination needs a boost from time to time. Catch up on all the movies you've missed; listen to your favorite old records' go to lunch with the non-writing friends you've shamefully ignored. Refill the well against another drought.
5. Remember you can burn out without damaging your ability to think up terrific plots and wonderful characters.
6. Everything and everyone that puts pressure on you is a source of creative block, but pressure isn't all bad. Some of us actually do better under pressure.
7. If you're burning out because you're constantly pushing to meet impossible deadlines, you may be over-committed. Only you know the answer.
8. Can you control block or burnout? Yes, within reason. Make sure you get regular exercise and enough sleep. Eat properly. (Except for the occasional chocolate binge!) Remember that you have a life apart from writing. Get away from your desk and live it. Learn to "read" your psyche and body for signs of impending trouble before it clobbers you.
9. The most effective way to avoid writer's block is also the most difficult. Determine as cold-bloodedly as possible whether your current career goals are realistic and/or good for you creatively. If they're not, change them.
10. Can you prevent block or burnout? Absolutely. Just give up writing and take up something less stressful.
Neurosurgery, anyone?
