The new culture of openness is damage control, an attempt to show that the government listens, that as Marshall says, "government's can do better".
Internal polling has proven to the Conservatives that the controversy surrounding Bill 29 has led to a deeply ingrained sense of distrust amongst the electorate. It is time to con us again, err... reverse gears, well sort of.
On the same day the government announced it's Open Government initiative it became clear that there is confusion in the ranks about the new direction.
The Official Opposition peppered minister after minister with requests for public reports, documents and reviews that are long overdue or have been kept from the public.
I felt uncomfortable for the government caucus as what could have been a positive public relations day became a farce.
The best example came when Justice Minister King told Opposition Justice Critic Jim Bennett that he would release reports into the Sherriff's office and legal aid immediately.
MR. BENNETT: Mr. Speaker, it has been almost a year since this government made savage cuts to the justice system. Under a storm of protests, many of these cuts were reversed and the government ordered a review of legal aid and the Sheriff's Office. Government has had the final version of both of these reports for over a month and is refusing to release them.I ask the minister: Now that government claims to be open, will the minister immediately release these reports he has been sitting on for the past month?MR. SPEAKER: The hon. the Minister of Justice.SOME HON. MEMBERS: Hear, hear!MR. KING: Yes, Mr. Speaker.
The new spirit of accountability and transparency was exposed as the P.R. gimmick it is when Telegram Reporter James McLeod went looking for the reports, only to be rebuffed by the minister's department.
The government was also reminded of the barriers that it has put in place to make it financially challenging for media organizations, individuals and the official opposition to obtain information.
The government charges outrageous fees for photocopying and staff time to complete requests. Hundreds and thousands of dollars are charged in vexatious fees. Somehow, that little speed bump was missed in the proxy premier's gala announcement.
In case you feel a nagging sense of Deja Vue like you have heard some of this before. In 2003, the Conservatives promised to "release every government-commissioned report within 30 days of receiving it". It was part of the original Blue Book of broken promises:
Back in 2007, the Conservatives made another promise after being grilled by than MHA Kelvin Parsons about unreleased reports. Premier Williams committed to ensuring that his ministers would search and find out whatever reports were outstanding and release them. Another promise that was not kept."A Progressive Conservative government will ... release to the public every government-commissioned report within 30 days of receiving it, indicate the action government will take on a report's recommendations within 60 days, and ensure prompt public access to all government reports in hard copy and on the Internet"
The Conservatives 11 years of governing is littered with examples of refusing to publish public reports, let alone honor the promise of releasing them within 30 days!
Transparency, honesty, accountability - flailing under the weight of their own vexatiousness is more like it!

Designing and Shipping a Dashboard
Last month, Udemy announced the launch of the Student Satisfaction Analytics Dashboard for instructors. The official announcement appeared on the Udemy Teach Hub Community News (here) and also was emailed to all instructors. As the designer who worked on that project and saw it all the way to implementation and full release, it was quite a proud moment. My first major product release, complete!
This dashboard replaces a somewhat unused and rather unhelpful dashboard called Engagement Analytics. Prior to me joining the company, an updated dashboard was already envisioned by a Design Agency, however I was placed on the project as the team realized that much of the data we wanted to display was not viable, therefore rendering the agency's designs irrelevant.
After many design iterations, intense stakeholder meetings, and jam sessions with engineering, I am so glad that the dashboard has made it through the gauntlet and launched. The data will help Udemy instructors get a clearer picture of how their courses are doing and what students like and dislike. Ultimately, my hope is that this project (and my future work) will help both students and instructors get the most out of their online learning experience!

When 15 year old Owen accidentally amputated his thumb, the team at the Lister were on hand to help…
Owen Powell (15) from Luton didn't realise at first that he'd cut his thumb clean off when he slipped climbing over a fence back in May this year. It was only later, at the hospital, that he realised the full extent of his injury. The thumb from his right hand had been left behind on the field.
Taken to the Lister in Stevenage for specialist surgery, he was relieved when his thumb was found and brought in to the hospital. An emergency surgery team, including a plastic surgeon, anaesthetist, nurses and other theatre support staff, worked through the night to reunite Owen with his thumb. The bones, blood supply, nerves, tendons and skin were reconnected to restore the use of his hand. The bones were held with stainless steel pins, whilst specialist microsurgery was needed to repair the tiny blood vessels to keep the thumb alive.
During his week's stay at the Lister, his thumb had to be checked hourly – day and night – by nurses to ensure the blood was still flowing. When it was discovered that the blood wasn't getting through, Owen was rushed back to theatre to get it flowing again. Owen returned to the children's ward and has since gone home to his mum and four sisters.
Thanks to the expert team at the Lister, Owen's thumb is now looking nearly as good as new and most of his strength has returned to his hand.
His surgeon at the Lister, Mr Animesh J Patel, said, "A completely amputated thumb is a very uncommon injury. Owen has been really brave, and the support of his family has made a tremendous difference to his recovery. Although the initial surgery and stay in hospital were crucial to his recovery, he has put in a lot of time and effort with physiotherapy afterwards and this required a lot of self-determination. We're very pleased with his progress and wish him well for the future."
Owen's mum, Rachel (pictured left with Owen, centre and her daughter Christina on the right), said, "We just want to thank everyone who helped to look after him. Everyone – from the play specialists, the ward assistants and nurses to the top surgeons – has just been wonderful. We always knew what was going on, and really can't thank them enough."
Asked about the future, Owen said, "I'm just glad I've still got my thumb. There's no more climbing over fences for me!"

Glorious Twelfth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monday, 11 October 2010
This is for Highlander's Solid Fuel Hand Warmer pack version CS050.
Instructions for hand warmer use:
1. Press the catch of the hand warmer to open it.
Remove the foil wrapping of a solid fuel stick and light one end with a match or cigarette lighter.
Then blow gently on it and allow to burnd down about half an inch.
2. Holding it at its unlit hend, place the lighted fuel stick in the warmer case and closed the lid, ensuring that the spring clip ahs fully closed the two parts of the hand warmer.
3. To intensify the heat output, the fuel rod may be lit at both ends but this will nearly halve the burning time.
If the warmer gets too hot, take it out of your picket for a while to allow air temperature to cool it down. But do not open it.
4. When not in use, the lighted fuel stick inside should be taken out and extinguished. If you must open the hand warmer when hot for this purpose, excercise extreme care and do so only on a level fireproof surface.
Assume these are kept in the pocket of your jacket or trousers?
CAUTION: These fuel rods can become very hot in use.
For adult use only. Not for children.
Do not use near flammable materials.
Do not handle fuel rods when lit or hot.
Open warmer only when cool.
Open warmer horizontally, beware hot ashes.
Common sense required, do not burn yourself.

Airsoft Gun Over Reaction?
Airsoft Guns: Is it really true that in 2010 boys aren't allowed to play cowboys and indians or cops and robbers anymore with toy guns and bows and arrows? Admittedly the boys were older in the news article above but are we also afraid of teenagers? Is it ridiculous that airsoft guns or bb guns as they are also known create such panic.
Kids in the 1970s had great fun with the cap guns for example.
Is the next step to censor all film and tv programmes with anything that even looks like a gun shaped object.
You can buy brightly coloured or clear airsoft guns still but why bother trying to play outdoors these days, just go indoors and play xbox shoot em ups.
Modern airsoft guns dont always fire the extra dangerous sounding metal "ball bearings". They most often shoot brightly coloured plastic pellets aka bb gun ammo.
An armed response is not necessary but common sense is.

Shemagh Scarf shemaghs
To the western world and in military use the British SAS (Special Air Service) discovered the Shemaghs potential when operating in northern Africa's deserts during the WW2. It has been a popular and valuable piece of the SAS soldiers equipment ever since and have spread from there.
The Shemagh (also known as an arab scarf or palestinian shemagh other names also see wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh) was originally used for protection against hostile desert conditions, providing protection from the wind, sun, sandstorms and low night time temperatures.
Next to a soldier's rifle, knife and boots, the Shemagh, may probably be one of the most useful pieces of equipment he or she can have.
A Shemagh scarf is a square cotton cloth, a woven scarf of about 110cm x 110cm in size.
Especially since becoming fashionable it is generally available in a massive choice of colour combinations from pink to bright orange as well as the traditional colours; red/white, black/white, black/green, sand/black).
When used as originally intended (as a head wrap) Shemaghs are very comfortable.
What is a shemagh used for? Examples:
as a head wrap - for keeping sun or snow, wind, sand and dust - out of eyes, face and neck
as a face veil - concealing the face
as a scarf worn around the neck - retaining heat in the cold and absorbing sweat/protects the neck in hot / sunny conditions
as a small sunshade cover whilst resting
as an arm sling - giving a wounded arm support
as a foot wrap - replacing a lost sock
as a carrying pouch for equipment
as a towel
as a short rope
How to tie shemagh scarf find instructions on how to wear here: http://www.actiongear.com/agcatalog/shemagh.html
The Shemagh is a traditional head wrap originating from the Middle East/Arabic culture developed from the Arabic turban - and have been used by them for centuries. Now days it's perhaps publicly best know as used by the Palestinians.
Wednesday, 22 September 2010
Basha, Army Bashas, DPM Basha
Generally dpm bashas are used in woods, where trees give cover and support. Also available in plain olive green
A dpm basha can be a waterproof canvas or plastic sheet with eyelets or loops along the outside edge. Bashas can be used when camping, outdoor, or in military situations to provide shelter, shade, camouflage, as the army basha forms a portable overhead cover or tent or groundsheet. Most often supported with bungee cords or purlon attached to trees.

Paracord, Purlon Rope
3mm - 100m length
Available in Olive Green
Very good description of Paracord is found in wikipedia from which this is an extract:
"Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord) is a lightweight nylon rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. Once in the field, paratroopers found this cord useful for many other tasks. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians.
The braided sheath has a high number of interwoven strands for its size, giving it a relatively smooth texture..."
We have a big choice in the balaclava hat, you can choose black, green, camo and plain acrylic knitted or thinsulate lined thermal balaclavas.

We sell a good range of anti mosquito sprays, lotions and deet roll ons for those travelling abroad as bite avoidance is the first line of defence against diseases spread by insects.

Desert Camo for Hot Weather
We have been lucky to have some really hot dry weather here in Norfolk this July 2010 and the BBC weather forecast for NR12 has been very useful and accurate.
An ideal camouflage for heat is the british army desert camo pattern, obviously designed for arid, dry and hot regions! Clothing for the desert or hot country might include:

Children's Camouflage Clothing, Kids Camo Kids Tshirts
Must say big thank you to Ros for inviting Daniel and Liam to Harry's 9th birthday party at www.norwichpaintball.co.uk on Thursday. They did laser skirmish with laser beam guns and had a great time. It also meant Daniel and Liam could wear their kids camo clothing bought from us.
The camo pattern means the kids camouflage trousers, camo tshirts and camo bodywarmers dont show the dirt and are hardwearing coming through the woodland laser skirmish in tact!
For example: we have some great camo face paint wipes on our face camo cream page which make removing your face paint after manoeuvres or paintball simple and effective. The picture was small and unappealing. So has now been changed. Took only a few minutes but well worth doing.
Many more to check and replace!

Thanks to a faded mark on one of her ears, an elderly cat has been returned to her owner after going missing 12 years ago. The cat, named Maxine, was presumed dead before she was discovered near the Vancouver SPCA in British Columbia, where rescuer Lorie Chortyk began a mission to track down the cat's owner.
"Through a lot of detective work, we were able to find her owner in Florida," Chortyk told Global News. "She was absolutely thrilled to find out that her cat was alive." Chortyk and her colleagues noticed that the cat had a distinctive tattoo on one of her ears, which was intended to help identify her -- like a tag or microchip -- in case she went missing. The mark led them to Maxine's veterinarian, who had listed the cat as deceased several years ago, but was able to put the SPCA in touch with her family.
Chortyk said Maxine's case is a key example of why it's important to place identifiers on all pets, no matter the species. "Maxine's case really points to the importance of pet identification, particularly for cats," she concluded. "With dogs that come in to our shelter, we are almost always able to immediately return those animals to their owners, because they do have either a microchip or a tattoo. Unfortunately, people just do not seem to put permanent ID on their cats."
Luckily for Maxine, that wasn't the case. It's unclear if the cat, now 16, will be healthy enough to make the trip to Florida, but either way she'll be off the streets and headed to a real home. If a vet determines that Maxine is too weak to travel, her owner has already made arrangements for the cat to live with friends in Vancouver. "Either way," Chortyk said, "Maxine is going to have a wonderful, happy ending out of this."

Pope Francis has sped up the process by which Catholics can obtain marriage annulments, reducing the number of courts and judges, dropping automatic appeals, and making the process free.
The pope's major overhaul of the Church's system for granting annulments, announced Tuesday, is designed to streamline the process out of "concern for the salvation of souls" while maintaining Catholicism's traditional ban on divorce.
An annulment is a finding by a Church court that a union between a man and a woman, even if it was ratified with a Church wedding, was not a real marriage because it didn't meet one of the traditional tests for validity, such as informed consent.
Under the rules, Catholics whose relationships break down and who wish to marry someone else in the Church must first obtain an annulment. Critics have complained that the process is overly lengthy and complicated, and in some places, too expensive.
The pontiff decreed that the annulment process will be free of charge, and that every diocese in the world has the responsibility of naming a judge or a church tribunal to process requests, with the possibility of the bishops acting as judges.
The changes were presented in Rome this Tuesday, in the form of two motu proprio. The documents were signed by Francis Aug. 15. They will take effect Dec. 8, the first day of the Holy Year of Mercy. The new process was suggested to the pope by an 11-member commission he created to work on a simplification of annulment procedures. It was led by Italian Monsignor Pio Vito Pinto, dean of the Roman Rota, the main canon law court in Rome dealing with marriage cases.
At a Vatican news conference Tuesday, Pinto said the Church's "sacramental theology" of marriage remains unchanged, but that the reform responds to the pope's desire to have a more collegial Church, with bishops helping in Church governance as called for by the Second Vatican Council (1962-65).
Pinto said Francis is "putting great trust and confidence in the diocesan bishops," adding that the new process won't be an easy one, and referred to the "solemn responsibility of the bishops" to prevent abuses. (Read more.)

Black Men Smile at Ponce City Market - Atlanta
What does my brother's smile mean to me? How important is it for me to smile when I see my brother? What makes my brother smile?
These are all questions that I go to sleep with and wake up to these days. Since we've been building this platform, I would dare to say that A BLACK MAN'S SMILE has consumed me. Images stream past my timeline and I can't help but fall deeply into them, deeply into the minds, hearts and souls of those who have shared their smiles with us. Strangers have in fact become brothers, brothers that I didn't know but BLACK MEN who I've certainly BECOME BROTHERS with throughout this process. These are my brothers! I can't help but see them that way because that is the impact that the work has had on me. I guess last Monday was one of the most recent affirmations of this newfound discovery.
This is my first blog post. This is the first of many reflections I'll offer on these pages chronicling this Black Men Smile journey. It won't be my last.

Goorin Brothers
As Carlton and I wrapped up our daily meeting, we decided to go to Goorin Brothers to try on a few hats. Being the cool gents that we are, we entered the shop and dapped up the fly guy Ekundayo behind the counter before perusing a bit. Sierra, one of our team photographers just so happened to tag along on the journey and snap a few photos. Here's what she saw…………..
After kicking it in the spot for maybe 15 minutes or so, Carlton decided to purchase a new hat in celebration of his recent success and as a token of self-appreciation for his diligent efforts. Here he is trying to be fly like me……
6 Black Men Square Off
Now, I'm sure if you ask Carlton, he would agree that our recent encounters with Black Men in the streets of Atlanta has been nothing short of spiritual. It's almost as if the universe has been revealing glimpses of the impact that this work is having on the world and in particular within our community. Just as the purchase was made and we were exiting the store, 4 Black Men connected with us from afar! We had never met these guys before but it was as if we were all meant to be in that place at that time, to share and to fellowship. Words don't really explain what happened in that moment, so maybe these photos and this video will shed a little light on what we experienced.
Special thanks to Sierra Chastity @sierrachastity for being on point!

What is a Model United Nations?
A Model United Nations, or "MUN", is a simulation of the United Nations and other international bodies intended to provide a forum for debate on world issues. Students represent delegates from UN member-States, debating relevant topics and negotiating resolutions. The format and procedure of MUN assemblies like SOMA are modeled on that of the United Nations, as are the topics discussed—with subjects including peace and security, the environment, economic development, human rights, and international law.
Why should I participate in SOMA?
MUNs provide a unique opportunity for students to learn about international relations and, more specifically, about the functions and role of the United Nations in world affairs. MUNs broaden awareness and knowledge of global issues, and allow participants to hone public speaking and debating skills. No prior experience is necessary to be a MUN delegate, only an interest in the world around you!
How can I register for SOMA?
Applications for SOMA are released in October. The faculty advisor from each school must complete a school registration form, and all students approved by the advisor must complete a delegate application. Applications are evaluated, and if accepted, delegates receive their country assignments in January.
Is SOMA only for students in Southern Ontario?
Absolutely not! The conference has hosted high-school students from across Canada and the United States, as well as from several foreign countries.
Is SOMA open to university students?
No, SOMA is a conference specifically targeted at high-school students. Per SOMA's constitution, SOMA also limits itself to delegates aged 21 or younger at the time of the conference, regardless of whether or not they are enrolled in a secondary school.
What do I do if I'm not from Toronto?
After being accepted to SOMA, you can use our discount code at the downtown Toronto Double Tree Hotel. Visit the Venues & Hotel page for more information.
Can I come if I've never been to a model UN?
Yes, SOMA welcomes new participants.
Who should I make my delegation fee cheque out to?
All cheques should be made out in Canadian dollars to "Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly". SOMA encourages staff advisors to send one cheque per school to expedite processing and reimbursement.
What is the role of the staff advisor?
The staff advisor for each school's delegation to SOMA is responsible for completing the school registration form and keeping their students updated with any information sent out by the Secretariat. Advisors also ensure that delegates respect due dates for applications and position papers. Finally, during the conference itself, staff advisors may be contacted in the event of any issues concerning a school's delegation. Each school must be accompanied by a staff advisor when they attend the conference, who supervises throughout the duration and acts as a chaperone for their students at the banquet.
What is the dress code?
The dress code for the conference is Western business attire or the national costume of the country being represented, provided that it is appropriate; as we have found that more formal dress adds a great deal to the tone of the conference, this code applies to both students and staff advisors. Examples of appropriate attire for males include dress shirts, ties, and suits; for females, blouses, dress pants, and skirts of a reasonable length. The dress code applies to Opening and Closing Ceremonies as well as in committees.
How formal is the banquet?
The banquet is considered "semi-formal"; appropriate attire would include cocktail-length dresses, skirts or business attire.
Does SOMA offer delegate awards?
Yes, SOMA provides three awards per committee to delegates who distinguish themselves during debate. Awards are decided on by the committee Chairs, who evaluate delegates on speaking style, diplomacy, adherence to foreign policy and other factors.
After I've been accepted into SOMA, is there anything I am required to do in preparation for the conference?
Yes! SOMA asks all delegations to write position papers for their assigned country so that they are able to reflect that nation's foreign policy during SOMA debates. As well, delegates should read all of the background guides for the committees they are attending. It is often helpful to print the guides and bring them to the conference as reference materials during committee.

Congress setback in crucial India Uttar Pradesh polls
India's governing Congress party has suffered a major setback in elections in the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh.
Congress party star Rahul Gandhi conceded defeat when it became clear that the regional Samajwadi Party had won a clear majority in the state.
Congress had disappointing results in three other states, winning a clear majority only in Manipur.
These polls are seen as a litmus test for national elections due by 2014.
Congress had hoped that the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty would deliver a victory in Uttar Pradesh that would revive the flagging fortunes of India's ruling party, dogged by high inflation, a slowdown in economic growth and allegations of corruption.
Samajwadi took at least 220 seats out of the 403 in Uttar Pradesh's legislative assembly, while Congress languished in fourth with fewer than 30.
Mayawati thrown out
Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, has a population of more than 200 million people, but is one of the country's least developed states.
Politics has been dominated in recent years by Mayawati, a low-caste Dalit who heads the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and has had four terms as chief minister.
She has largely alternated in power with Mulayam Singh Yadav, leader of the Samajwadi Party. It mainly represents the interests of a caste grouping called the Other Backward Classes.
Samajwadi has won 220 seats and with almost all the returns in, was leading in another four, giving it a clear majority.
The ruling BSP was a distant second with 76 seats and leads in another four.
The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 45 seats and was leading in two more.
The Congress party took 26 seats and had the lead in two more - a scant increase from the 22 it currently holds.
'Credit to the people'
As the results came in, Samajwadi supporters danced in the street outside the party's headquarters in Lucknow, the state capital, says the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder.
Speaking to BBC Hindi's Ram Dutt Tripathi in Lucknow, Mr Yadav said: "The credit for our victory goes to the people, workers of the Samajwadi Party and Akhilesh [Mr Yadav's son and heir apparent]."
The 72-year-old Samajwadi Party leader, who is now expected to lead the government in the state, said he would "try to meet all the expectations of the voters".
He said the party's legislative board would meet on Wednesday to elect the new chief minister.
Speaking in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi took responsibility for his party's disappointing results.
He is widely tipped to be India's next prime minister. He was not running in the state polls, but had led campaigning for Congress in Uttar Pradesh.
"I led the campaign, so it's my responsibility, we fought well but the results are not that good," he said.
"Organisationally we are not where we should be in UP [Uttar Pradesh]... I think it will be a very good lesson for me, because I think it will make me think about things in a detailed way."
In Punjab, the incumbent regional Shrimoni Akali Dal-BJP alliance has won with 68 seats beating Congress which took 46 seats.
With nearly all districts in Uttarakhand reporting, Congress had a one seat lead over the BJP, with 30 seats of the state's 70.
In Goa, the BJP won 21 seats while Congress took nine. Goa has 40 seats.
The only bright spot for Congress was the north-eastern state of Manipur where the party won 42 of the 60 seats.
The month-long elections were held in a total of 690 assembly seats and were staggered over a number of phases for security and logistical reasons.

A Week in the Hills of Tuscany
September 8 - 15, 2020
From the first evening standing on the threshold of an ancient Etruscan tomb with the light slanting across the stone, imagining centuries of mothers, fathers and children making their lives amongst the olive groves, to the closing night's celebration under the stars, the week in Italy is a moveable feast both literally and imaginatively; a true celebration of the senses; a shaping of the mind and the body through walking, seeing, listening and tasting.
As with all of David's tours, you are invited into a circle of friendship that takes you deep into the local culture, whether being introduced by Lori De Mori to the almost reverential relationship to food that runs throughout the Tuscan hills, listening to Dante in the original by an original as dusk settles on the rooftops of Panzano or partaking of a moonlit meal prepared with loving care.
Tuscan culture is about standing in one's place in the world, choosing what you do and doing it well, no matter how simple the task and no matter how many times it has been done before, finding the note you can hold in the song and the path you make yourself by walking. We will do the same, setting one foot after another through the countryside while contemplating our individual futures, emboldened by David's poetry and thought, and by food, wine and good company: a good holiday and a necessary pilgrimage in one remarkable experience.
Cost: $5500. Includes ground transportation to and from Florence, all travel in-country, shared accommodation and all but one or two meals.
To apply, please download and complete the application form and fitness assessment, below, and send them, together with your letter of application, to Julie Quiring.

How Teaching English Abroad Helped Me Learn Spanish
For many, learning a language seems a sticky recital of vocabulary and dry verb conjugations. For even more, it's simply something that seems so difficult it's scary. But a language is not simply a collection of words: it's a whole new way to conceptualise meaning, and gives an invaluable window into the workings of another culture.
Interest in language learning, particularly Spanish, is sadly on a steady decline in the UK. And despite the wealth of Spanish language resources available, this number doesn't look set to rise. But why? Are languages simply too hard, or are we going about learning them in the wrong way?
After studying Spanish in her undergraduate degree, Australian graduate Georgia McCann still felt unsteady on her feet. Determined to sharpen her language skills, she decided to head straight for the source: Spain. Seville, to be exact:
I never really thought I would follow through with the whole 'learning another language' thing. However, after three and a half years of coasting through university, with my mammoth and uncertain future looming before me, absconding to sunny Spain seemed like an ace idea.
Whilst sussing out my options it quickly became apparent that considering I had very few actual skills upon completion of my Arts degree: being able to teach English in a foreign country seemed pretty much it. So I applied, and then I left.
It turned out to be the best thing I've ever done.
I had studied Spanish at university, to what you would assume to be a sufficient level. But after three and a half years I was, it felt, more ignorant and scared of the language. To be frank, I was simply terrified. I resolved to push myself past this fear that had somehow tripled rather than decreased, and plunge myself into the country, it's culture and it's people to find out if what they say really is true: that the best way to learn a language is to go there.
I can now say yes. Yep. Yes. It's true.
I have been in Spain for almost a year, and have since discovered that my fear was not unique or unusual in any way. What happened to me happens to pretty much everyone, even if they don't admit it. We're all different learners; we all have different methods of acquiring knowledge and skills. But when learning a second language there is one thing we all tend to have in common: we scare easily. That's fine, as long as you don't let it stop you. For me, the very thing that helped me learn was to teach.
Teaching English in Spain opened my eyes to some things. First of all, Spanish kids are the coolest in the world (if you have an opportunity to teach them, do it.). Working in an environment in which people learn is not only a magical experience for the opportunity to work with and shape young minds, but also instructive one. The brazenness and shamelessness of precocious 8-year-old children makes them the best teachers, it turns out.
Secondly, during my time as a teacher my fear of Spanish began to dissipate.Obviously, it happened slowly. It required some serious teeth gritting and self-pep-talking. For at least 3 months, every morning I had to remind myself that if I stuck this out, in 2 years I could say: "I speak Spanish!" I could say to myself that I did that. I braved it. For me, that was and is essential. I then discovered something that changed my learning experience entirely: once you become adjusted to the culture and the people, you fall in love. Convincing yourself every day to 'stick it out' becomes obsolete – you continue simply because you want to.
I remember vividly the moment in which I realised I had reached/passed this point. When my family came to visit I met them in Madrid, where I was the only one who knew more Spanish than grathias and una cervetha por favor. So naturally, I took the lead when interacting with the locals. In the familiar environment of family I found myself speaking without thinking. I knew they couldn't understand my mistakes and so to them I sounded fluent. This gave me a certain confidence I wasn't aware of at the time. When a waiter who struggled with her English turned to me and implored me to help her throughout the course of the meal, I realised that my Spanish was better than her English.
…Come again?
So, there it is: anyone can learn a language. Our (that is, the native English speakers of the world) biggest problem is that we don't grow up with the need to be bilingual. On the contrary, a rather large chunk of the world's population grows up learning another, nominally English. It is a norm from birth, and therefore it loses its scariness. For us, however, it seems terrifying.
But it's not. It's really, really not.
So choose a language, and don't stop at books and classrooms. Immerse yourself in the culture. The link between language and culture is inextricable; you must see through the eyes of the natives, so to speak, if you want to be fluent (Jake Sully totally does it in Avatar). Only when you understand why language is the way it is can you begin to use it as a native.
And trust me, using it as a native is super fun.

Change has always been a challenge for me. The uncomfortable fear of the unknown, insecurity that seems to shake the ground beneath, not knowing where you stand in the midst of intensity, being exposed to the rawness of your own self, your brittleness as well as the stubbornness. Yet at the same time, there are moments in life when one seeks out and grasps for change with great enthusiasm and courage, just like a chrysalis breaking its own hardened outer skin-shell to transform into a butterfly.
Life Altering Journey
For me, the moment of life altering change, or series of moments to be more exact, took place in 2007, when I decided to leave my six year career in advertisement as a strategic planner, and began my journey that has led me to where I am today, with JayaDojo. It was not that I was particularly unhappy with my life at that point in time. It was more that there was a sense of empty unfulfillment, unable to feel the sense of truly delving in experiences that made me feel invigorated and alive at the very essence of my existence.
It all started with my choice to be part of a one month long yoga teacher training experience in Bali conducted by Radiantly Alive, an immersive experience of daily practice and theory, supported by a complete raw food program with juice fasting combined. Fully focused on the body through physical practice and diet, observing how not only the body but also the mind is affected by the quality of practice, what we eat, the environment we are in, the interactions we have with others, shed light onto the limitless options and possibilities of what I have not yet dared to explore experiencing in life up until then.
Making the decision to leave my previous career and embark on a journey of change was in some ways the easiest part. It was an extremely liberating experience as well, that gave me an enormous sense of autonomy. In fact, tackling the ripple effect of my change within me, and among the people and environment around me was far more challenging then the actual decision itself. As change can be often perceived as something different from the known, initially hard to understand or grasp, I find it quite natural that the instinctual reaction is to harden with hostility, rejection, and/or indifference. Like any animal trying to protect itself, I experienced this reaction both within myself and in the relationships I had with people around me. Yet at the same time, the challenging endeavor to step into this unexplored realm outside my comfort zone with persistence, gradually familiarizing myself to the extent that the change no longer was alien but rather a part of me, was an extremely rewarding process.
Experimental Incubator for Change
Since then, I have been involved in the production and coordination of over 10 Teacher Trainings conducted in Asia and Europe, periods ranging from one month intensive to one year residential. In a way, I see the teacher trainings as an experimental incubator for change, especially for those who wish to utilize the experience in such a way. It allows one to immerse into one field, deepen ones understanding, transmit ones experience through interaction with others, in a safe environment with a sound support system.
What makes the training an ideal incubator for change, comes from the fact that it works on the body first and foremost. Being able to have the support of a studio that offers 50-60 Baseworks Practice classes a week, 7 days a week from six in the morning to ten in the evening, allows participants to build a solid practice foundation, at the same time keep their regular lifestyle commitment and make the entire experience sustainable in the long run. As Movement is Transformation, the simple act of building a regularity in practice sets a perfect base for change to sprout out. Combining these with theoretical understanding on how the body works anatomically, the thinking behind the practice in relation to biomechanics, how diet and nutrition affect our body and state of being, and working on methods to effectively present ones accumulated learning through the interaction with others, is an excellent microcosm of society for one to experiment their yet unexplored potential.
Choice To Feel Alive
At the end of the day, whether one decides to take up the opportunity to use it as a catalyst for change, to relentlessly work on the process of converting the uneasy to something familiar, a part of you, is totally up to the individual, especially in today's era of too many choices. On top of this, there are thousands of medium for change that one can delve into. Perhaps at times, the overwhelming plethora of choice and medium is what stops us from venturing out into the unexplored discomfort zone and freezes us with perceived fear. Yet what I can say from my personal experience is, is that if you are experiencing an empty unfulfilment somewhere inside you, perhaps exploring new areas that connect with what invigorates you and makes you feel alive, could be an amazing catalyst for facilitating something you have longed yet have never yet dared to explore.

Dog Trainer Miami – Pet Peeve of the Day
Off Leash Dogs in Undesignated Areas
We all want our dogs to run off leash, unencumbered by anything with no restraints, in no danger to themselves or others, with unicorns running up rainbows and leaping over pots of gold but this dream is not reality. Especially when you live in a city or urban sprawl neighborhood. It is unfortunate that many people are just downright disrespectful to others and this is one of the many reasons we believe being a pet parent is a privilege not a right.
Not just are you endangering your dog by letting him/her off leash near other people, dogs, animals, roads…etc. but you are endangering everyone else as well. Just because your dog is a happy go lucky free spirit and has no behavioral issues doesn't mean a family, person or another dog on a leash wants to be bum rushed by your ill-mannered pup.
Some dogs on leash are fearful, others impulsive, others aggressive and need space. Some people are scared of dogs, allergic, don't want to be jumped on or sniffed. Regardless of the reason, it is just poor form and illegal to have a dog off leash other than in designated areas in Miami and most municipalities and cities around the country. Not respecting laws is selfish and endangers the welfare of others and your dog.
Dog and puppy pictures are often in random order so make sure you scroll through all of these and other blog post pictures during the month if you are looking for your pup.

If you are into nostalgia and good food, then a cruise over to the Sug'r Shack in Westwood might be in order. Take me back! When we pulled up we could hear the 50's music and smell the burgers grilling. Owner Julie Brecht and daughter Brandy cook up quite a few varieties of homemade food. Even the chili dogs and fries have a 'beans-optional' clause with their homemade chili. One look at the picture and you automatically you think frosty cones and burgers. Right you are, and those burgers are made fresh every day with beef from Don Biggs' Butchery right across the street. They get all their meat there, for their homemade pulled pork sandwiches as well as beef and chicken for their freshly made tacos and burritos. When you think tacos and burritos at a burger shack. you probably aren't thinking about slow roasted meat atop fresh tortillas with all the toppings including sour cream. They even make their own salsa!
I had a bacon cheeseburger which was huge and delicious. They'll even throw some onions on the grill if you ask them to. The fries are a tasty double fried version of original thick cut fries… yum!… and who could resist a milkshake topped with whipped cream? I had blackberry and Jamie had a Chai Tea shake! They also offer Hawaaian ice in several flavors. The Sug'r Shack is more than a great stop for food, it is a gathering spot.

Skip Navigation LinksSoil Testing and Plant Diagnostic Services > Soil and Plant Testing Laboratory > Greenhouse growing media analysis
Expand all | Collapse all
Testing greenhouse media provides an assessment of the material to adequately provide plant nutrients and provide a good rooting environment, i.e. low salt content and adequate pH.
After collecting a greenhouse sample submit directly to the Columbia lab..
When submitting a sample to the lab the sample information form should be filled out accurately. Include a check for the amount due payable to MU Soil Testing, unless you have an account with us. If you have an account with us fill in the firm and outlet number and we will bill you at the end of the month.
A minimum of one quart of media is needed for analysis
Greenhouse media analysis sample information forms can be
picked up at the MU Soil and Plant Testing Laboratory free of charge or printed
from the Web .
Greenhouse media analysis sample information form (RTF)
If samples are mailed allow time to and from the lab. Results of samples submitted through county extension offices are mailed first to the county agronomist or horticulturalist for comments or individualized recommendations. The county then mails the recommendations to the person submitting the sample.
Soil test reports can be emailed on request at no charge or faxed for a nominal fee.
The desirable pH, soluble salt and nutrient levels for greenhouse or soil-less
media vary by the greenhouse or nursery crop and by the management practices
used. The ratings and recommendations given below are general guidelines for
results obtained from water or DTPA saturation extracts.
Table 1
Test result interpretations*
Soluble salt (mmho/cm)
Nitrate-N (ppm)
Phosphorus (ppm)
Potassium (ppm)
Calcium (ppm)
It is best to modify greenhouse media before establishing plants. Some rapid
corrective measures can be used to adjust media that already contain plants.
However, amendments such as iron sulfate and hydrated lime – used to change
pH – will burn most plants. Apply amendments only to the root medium.
Rinse plants with water if material comes in contact with plant surfaces. Some
plants may be sensitive, so test a small area or a few plants before treating
a large area. A pH adjustment of 0.5 to 1.0 unit is rapid, but effects are short
lived. Recheck the pH within a week and reapply if necessary.
The effectiveness of amendments and their application rates will vary with
different media. The amount of change is dependent on the type, concentration,
and fineness of the material used and the buffering capacity of the greenhouse
media. The attached tables contain recommendations that are approximations.
Table 2
Approximate rates of materials to modify pH of a root medium*
Ground limestone
Table 3
Approximate amounts of sulfur or dolomitic limestone required to modify
the pH of various types of root media to pH 5.7 from a stated beginning pH.*
These are rapid corrective measures to adjust root-medium pH in pots or benches that already contain plants.
To lower pH
To raise pH
If the electrical conductivity (EC) is too high, leaching the medium with
water will reduce the salt level. A corrective procedure includes a normal irrigation
followed immediately by another irrigation. After this, allow the medium to
dry. If further leaching is required, repeat the double irrigation. Recheck
the EC level to determine whether the leaching has been successful in lowering
the EC to an acceptable range. A low EC is usually indicative of inadequate
fertilization. Increase the rate or frequency of fertilization.
Table 4
Correcting macronutrient deficiencies*
Use a high-N fertilizer.
Balance the N to K2O
calcium nitrate (15-0-0)
ammonium nitrate (34-0-0)
Use a fertilizer formulation with P equal to half or more of the N level
or use one application of diammonium phosphate
or monoammonium phosphate
Use a high K2O fertilizer formulation
20-5-30, 17-5-24, 15-11-29, 15-10-30
use potassium nitrate to balance N to K2O
Use the N-source calcium nitrate
or use a high-calcium fertilizer
20-0-20, 21-0-20, 15-0-15, 15-5-15, 13-2-13
Apply magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) or
use a complete magnesium-containing fertilizer
13-2-13, 14-0-14, 15-15-15 17-0-17
Apply magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) or
use a sulfur-containing fertilizer
20-18-18, 20-18-20, 20-9-20
Adjustments in available nutrient levels can be made by the following additions:
2 oz of calcium nitrate (15-0-0) per cubic yard (75 g per cubic meter) to increase
the nitrogen test level 10 ppm; 1 lb of concentrated superphosphate (0-46-0)
per cubic yard (600 g per cubic meter) to increase the phosphorus test level
5 ppm; and 1.5 lb potassium nitrate (13-0-44) per cubic yard (55 g per cubic
meter) to increase the potassium level 100 ppm.

I am currently running cloudera 5.13.1 with parquet libraries 1.5.0 and yarn and I would like to profit from major improvements provided parquet 1.10.0 (min max stats usage) without upgrading my current version to the newest spark or cloudera version (knowing that even the newest version of cdh do not use this last version avec parquet). Is there any way to do this?
Maybe by using some maven shading or by executing another spark installation on yarn besides the main one
Best regards,

Luang Prabang, Laos, March 2017
You might remember that when we were in Thailand, we stumbled across an elephant sanctuary, which mistreated its elephants in front of our eyes. We didn't like it so we used the power of social media to let people know about it. Luckily, the sanctuary saw our posts and the video, and they fired the person, who was aggressive towards the elephants and was hitting them with a sharp hook. They even uploaded the official papers of the police report filled against the man.
Whilst in Luang Prabang, we had the privilege of helping MandaLao, an Intimate Non-Riding Elephant Experience, boost their social media presence with our photographs and a short film.
They are the kind of people that we whole-heartedly support. No riding, no hitting and no exploitation of the majestic elephants. We were lucky enough to spend two days out in the jungle, filming and photographing their elephants (including the cutest baby elephant ever, named Kit).
When you are able to walk alongside these massive beasts and look into their eyes, you just sense their intelligence and self awareness.
Please enjoy our photographs and short film about the MandaLao Elephant Experience and let us know what you think.

(No, my children don't normally watch TV like this…)
With the arrival of the long summer holidays, which I am rather glad about (we are in week one, I may have changed my mind by the end of this week) something that has been on my mind for a while, is screen time, and how much or how little I let my children have access to.
I am, of course, hoping that the weather, in the UK will remain at least nice enough that my children will spend most of their time outside, burning off what seems to be unending energy and that I won't need to resort to too much TV or Tablet/computer time. I have an array of craft activities, (yes, even though I hate crafts, I have got some things we can actually do) which we can reach for, instead of TV and also plans to go places with friends, to keep the children busy and entertained (hopefully) until they go back to school in September but TV is a handy tool, in my arsenal, and there will be times when an hour or so of CBeebies, or a movie will come in handy, and I do have some educational reading and maths applications for my Kindle, for both children to make use of. I am not anti TV, at all! 😉
What I want to know, is do my fellow parents limit screen time? Do you have set amounts of time, that once are "used up", then that's it for a day/week? Do you find your children's behaviour worse or better after a stretch of TV or computer time? I do find that Big Girl particularly likes to watch a lot of TV if allowed, and will mooch off with my Kindle and play games for hours, if allowed (she has no internet access, these are all preloaded games) and often will get stroppy if I limit the amount of access to either she has. Small Boy likes to watch a little TV will play a game or two, but is much happier being outside or being kept busy "doing" things, so he is not so much of an issue, right now. I like the idea of less TV and more activities.
I am thinking of setting an amount of time per day, for both of them, and allowing them to watch/play for that amount of time, and then when the time is up, it's up, and they have to find other things to do. I don;'t know if this will work, and I am not sure exactly what amount of time is a "reasonable" amount? 2 hours? More? Less? Weather and mood dependent on a daily basis?
I have read plenty of articles on how screen time is bad for children, and seen other articles that state limited amounts can be educational and stimulating. I know that certain groups of childcare professionals recommend little or even no TV/Screen time for children under a certain age, and I do know our government is trying to encourage parents to prevent our children from becoming a nation of couch potatoes because of rising obesity rates and health issues, due to lifestyle changes over the years. Oh for the days before laptops, tablet devices, and endless arrays of TV channels designed especially for children. I am sure my mother didn't have to worry about how much TV we watched and if it was good for us or not….

EXCLUSIVE: Leon French Set to Stand Against 'Idiots Trying to Tear CF in Two'.
By Leon French
"Bit early to be announcing such a thing isn't it? You'd be right to think that though as with most of my decisions, it's a very off-the-cuff decision.
"When I joined Conservative Future (both times) I never had any intention of ever standing in internal elections because I see a lot of youth politics as simply a platform to further one's own name most of the time. The current CF National Executive hasn't failed to confirm my expectations, with some exceptions of course.
"As it currently stands, there are a couple of the CF National Executive who are clearly not happy with how things are being done at the moment. They obviously think they could do a better job, with some already announcing their intention to replace Oliver Cooper as Conservative Future National Chairman. I'm sure this is for the best for CF and has nothing to do with their own vanity and their own tendency to name-drop anyway. [/endsarcasm]
"Because of this frustration I feel with these idiots trying to tear CF in two for their own vanity, I intend on standing as well. I'll be honest with you, I've no idea what position I'm going to stand for. As I say, this is a very off-the-cuff, spontaneous decision for me so I haven't planned it out completely yet.
"I don't expect to win whatever I stand for either. My main intention is to give the CF National Executive a massive kick up the backside because, quite frankly, some of them are just starting to annoy me and I'm sure many others are feeling the same way.
"I'm not doing this to cause trouble either. I just want the CF National Executive to get back to doing its job. Members vote for these people to do specific jobs, not to start bickering and covet positions for themselves while they're already sat there doing nothing anyway. That's the point I want to make very clear in the next CF Elections.
"I'll keep you all updated as and when I develop more on my initial decision!"

"I know atheists who love gospel music."
Lord Chris, 56, is now on Tijuana's XRCN (1470 AM) as of February. "We are the only English-speaking show on that station."
Heard Sundays from 7 to 8 p.m., The Reggae Show features Chris and other DJs, including AJ, Cosmo, and Suspect, who each do a shift a month.
Born and raised in San Diego, Lord Chris has never been to Jamaica.
"In Russia and all over Europe there are people who know more about American jazz music than most Americans."
Chris has hosted reggae radio shows on college stations (KSDS, KCR, KSDT), AM stations (KCEO and KMJC), and on 92.5 FM. "I've been playing reggae music off and on for 30 years in this town."
Lord Chris said sponsors -- including Trade Roots -- allow him to buy the time from XRCN.
Reggae Makossa, the 91X Sunday-night reggae show that has been hosted by Makeda Dread for 22 years, will not play any songs by artists like Buju Banton or Beenie Man that advocate killing gay men.
"I don't play anything anti-Semitic or homophobic," said Makeda.
"We will play modern dancehall music, and some of it may be controversial," said Lord Chris. "It's not up to us to make judgments. There may be a saucy tune here and there. We play the current top ten in Jamaica with appropriate radio edits."
Chris says he will comply "with standard FCC guidelines." Defamatory, according to the FCC, is obscene words alluding to excretory or reproductive functions. A phrase like Beenie Man's "I'm dreaming of a new Jamaica / come to execute all the gays" is acceptable to the FCC.
Lord Chris says, "We will not go out of our way to promote violence or gay bashing."
