Following the presidential election, the stock market shot up, consumer confidence climbed, and corporations forecast a wave of new demand. The optimism of change, while certainly contagious, will likely fade as the reality of obstacles still ahead sets in. And at the forefront, is the possibility of a near-term recession.
From the last recession to now is one of the longest periods without one in U.S. history. Recessions tend to happen every five to seven years. The conditions of the global economy are tenuous and political changes around the world are causing greater uncertainty. If recession does happen, at stake are a one-term presidency and loss of Republican majority in Congress. But timing will also be crucial.
Both Republican and Democratic leaders must suspect recession sometime during President Trump's term. Trump can't afford a recession late in his presidency. His opponents can't afford one early. For the president, earlier is better. Blame can be cast on gridlock and past policy. The waves of the next election cycles can be managed on the momentum of a recovery. And too, an early recession could give Trump the power needed to push his agenda through.
Lackluster Recovery
"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," President Obama's former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously said. What he meant was that crisis affords the opportunity to get things done. President Trump may need crisis to clear gridlock from both Democrats and his own party. Even Washington's bureaucratic machine presents enough of a challenge to slow Trump's agenda considerably.
America's recovery, anemic and spotty as it has been, could again be prone to false start. The unemployment rate is low, but that alone doesn't complete the economic picture. Business investment has lagged and is expected to continue from uncertainty. The value of America's output is heavily skewed toward services for which productivity and growth are hard to improve on. And widening economic inequality is probably impacting consumer spending much more than most think. For the economy to return to widespread prosperity, all must turn for the better.
The U.S. is not alone with its tepid recovery. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have projected lackluster global growth for the foreseeable future. Both have warned even this may be a stretch, given uncertainties caused by political turmoil and concerns over the level of the world's debt.
The West's Debt
Never have so many of the world's leading nations been so indebted through routine consumption. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and the U.S. – all are encumbered by enormous government and private debt. For too long, claims on future productivity have been used to boost the West's standard of living far beyond the wealth it produced.
The illusion of prosperity has been maintained by the record levels of debt and the asset inflation that naturally follows it. Facilitated by the need for the U.S. dollar as the world's trading and reserve currency, foreign exporting nations continue to buy more dollars to support their own economies. Goods are produced and then exported to the West, driving the need for more and more dollars and credit creation. More money means more debt.
Addiction to the System
The continued growth of these exporting nations has become dependent on the West's monetary and credit expansion. Likewise, the West has become dependent on the supply of foreign exports. Strong financial incentives exist for the system to continue, even though longer-term consequences can be disastrous.
As the money supply escalates, debt-induced asset inflation is a natural by-product. Asset owners benefit, as they witness their holdings rise in value. Although asset inflation has been a leading cause for wealth inequality in the U.S., it has also provided the incentive to continue support for globalized system. Home values and 401k's have risen with more money and debt poured into the system.
Obviously, incentives also exist for the exporting nations and global corporations to continue pushing foreign supply, regardless of the West's declining financial condition. As productivity and wealth shift to the exporting nations, formidable deflationary forces eventually take hold and escalate. Reliance on outsourced productivity reduces the incentives for domestic productivity and the primary drivers of the economy become consumption by an over-indebted government and services provided to a growing, but increasingly less well-off population.
It's a terrible economic trap. Able only to be sustained by a finite supply of debt – expanding faster than wealth creation – the system eventually leads to its own demise. Unless of course, some hoped-for magic productivity bullet suddenly appears. Generations from now, economists studying this period will probably coin it, "The Great Monetary Folly" in the same way that economists today scoff at the economics practiced around the Great Depression.
The Less Well-off
Without debate, globalization failed many Americans. Policy-makers' promises for widespread prosperity through global trade were wrong. Economic objectives for the largest working and consuming segment of the economy weren't achieved. Instead, global corporations, foreign nations, and the better-off few benefited. Outsourced production caused wages to stagnate, while job stability became meaningless. And contrary to official inflation statistics, the real costs of living – food, shelter, media, education, health care, energy – have grown substantially.
Half of all households in America now average wealth of 100 times less and earn only one-tenth of the average of the other half. For the lower half, rentals account for most of its housing and annual household incomes average less than $35,000. Many of these households also find themselves now burdened by easy credit for products and services that could not be afforded otherwise. Not since the Great Depression has the inequality gap been this wide.
The positive economic spin of recent years has been on the totals, while downplaying the statistics of widening divergence between those benefiting and those not. The official unemployment rate is low – yes, but the work force participation rate distorts this statistic, along with the abnormally high amount of underpaid and underutilized part-time workers. Some say that if these distortions were considered, true unemployment rates would far exceed 10%.
And wage growth has remained dismal for decades. Although bad, the "in-total" wage statistics are again distorted by the bifurcation between high and low wage earners. Obviously, wage and employment hit hardest on the economic lower half. As long as half of the nations' households remain financially fractured, sustained economic recovery is likely to be just another unfulfilled promise.
Global Slowdown and Showdown
World trade has already started to recede. Oil and commodity producing nations have yet to recover from recent price shocks and Japan wobbles in and out of recession. Europe still has not found footing from its credit crisis and debate surrounding the European Union's survival. Even China's economic powerhouse has stumbled from its own credit and building spree as it shifts from an export economy to more domestic consumption.
The global push for increased supply has resulted in excess production capacity – yet another formidable deflationary force. Consumer demand cannot absorb it, even with massive credit accommodation. Central bankers across the globe now admit to the decreased effectiveness and the greater risks associated with further monetary policy.
Capital investment can't seem to pick up as long as current technologies have excess capacity and new ones are restrained. Replacing old technologies with new is more than contentious. It becomes cause for considerable division and conflict. Take for example, the carbon energy sector. Trillions of dollars are invested in the current technology – some nations' success is based on it.
At this time, those nations – and the world for that matter – cannot withstand the economic and social effects of writing off the carbon energy sector and replacing it with more efficient alternative energies. As long as significant value remains in the current technology, any transition, even if it makes economic sense, will be hard fought and opposed with each step.
President Trump's Agenda
Infrastructure spending, tax cuts and regulatory reform – all sound good. But doing it may be another matter. Delay is inevitable and confidence will sour as the congressional budget process unfolds. Typically, the budget is presented in February and debate continues long into the summer. The first fiscal year under President Trump won't begin until October 1, 2017. And beyond that, the time lag for fiscal stimulus usually takes several quarters to materialize. The economy may not hold until then.
Controversy will mount over the size of government debt. Proposed spending choices on infrastructure versus entitlement cuts will stir further divisiveness. And tax reduction will have limited benefit caused by the nation's current economic configuration – extreme economic inequality, excessive debt, low business investment opportunity, and outsourced production.
Additionally, regulatory reform alone could be a massive undertaking. The regulatory structure, amassed over the last three decades, has taken on a life of its own – self-sustaining and almost to the extent of its particular separate branch of government.
Whether or not politicians, their supporters, or global market participants can or do decide the economy for election results is a matter of some debate. But America's political forces, already extremely divided on almost every issue, have very different interests in the success or failure of the new president's policies. By which, the greater interests of America may be preempted. But only for a while. This too is unsustainable in democracy.
Contrarian Thought
Change will undoubtedly happen. The current state of the system will force it. And those changes, for better or worse, will have near-term ramifications on the economy, including the follow-on occurrence of recession. According to contrarian thought, when most believe in the unlikely, the highest risk exists for the condition to become likely. The caveat: contrarian thinking usually only holds near the close of a long and finally unsustainable trend – times just preceding major change.

Thief. Swindler. Con man. Liar. Rogue. These are just some of the ways Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) described Harcourt Fenton Mudd, a.k.a. Harry Mudd (Roger C. Carmel), though Mudd himself would prefer "entrepreneur." The original Star Trek series had its share of lighthearted episodes and some of the most popular involved the irrepressible, but dangerous, rascal Harry Mudd. With his penchant for puffy pirate shirts and his flamboyant, over-the-top theatrics, it would be easy to take someone like Mudd lightly, but in his encounters with the crew of the original Starship Enterprise, Mudd has proven to be more than the mere "irritant" Kirk also once called him. In his way, Mudd has been a unique threat to Kirk's crew.
With Star Trek: Discovery set to re-introduce Harry Mudd, this time played by Rainn Wilson (The Office), in two episodes beginning with episode 5 "Choose Your Pain", let's look back at the dastardly machinations of Harcourt Fenton Mudd and the trouble he has caused throughout the Original Series.
Harry Mudd was one of the earliest antagonists introduced in the original Star Trek. Mudd debuted in "Mudd's Women", the third episode of season one, which involved him leading the Enterprise on a wild goose chase that ended up damaging their Dilithium crystals, the starship's main power source. When Mudd was beamed aboard the Enterprise, he didn't come alone. Mudd had three astonishingly beautiful women with him who inflamed the desires of the Enterprise's crew. Ultimately it was revealed Mudd's female companions were enhanced by the illegal Venus drug, which boosted their physical attractiveness. Mudd planned to sell the women as wives to three miners on the planet Rigel XII, which is a source of Dilithium crystals for the Federation. In a rather dated example of sexual relations, the miners eventually agreed to marry the women even after discovering they were enhanced by the Venus drug. Kirk got the Dilithium crystals the Enterprise needed, and Harry Mudd was taken into custody and incarcerated.
Mudd proved popular enough with fans to warrant a comeback. In the 12th episode of season two, "I, Mudd", Harry reappeared doing better than ever: suddenly he was the king of an entire planet. A mysterious android named Norman took control of the Enterprise and brought it to an unknown planet, which Kirk and his crew discovered was populated by a race of androids ruled by King Mudd The First. We learned that Mudd had escaped prison and gone back into a life of crime, this time selling alien technologies to other races without patents. Mudd's criminal scheme was discovered by the Vulcans, and though he escaped, he crashed on the android planet, which made him their king while they used him as a guinea pig to study humanity. Mudd planned to escape the planet by substituting the entire crew of the Enterprise for himself, trapping them on the planet while Kirk and company took his place.
In "I, Mudd" we learned Mudd had been married to a woman named Stella, who regularly chided him for being a lazy, good-for-nothing swindler. One of Mudd's reasons for living in space and engaging in criminal schemes was to escape his wife on Earth. The androids created 500 identical versions of Stella; Kirk used these androids to torture Mudd when he left him behind on the planet after he and the Enterprise crew figured out how to defeat the androids and escape. This was the last we saw of Mudd... at least in live action. Harry Mudd appeared a third time in Star Trek: The Animated Series, in the episode titled "Mudd's Passion". Somehow escaping the android planet, Mudd began selling a dangerous love potion across the galaxy. Mudd was again captured by the Enterprise, but he gave the love potion to Nurse Chapel (Majel Barrett-Roddenberry), who used it on Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy). Eventually Mudd was incarcerated yet again, this time sentenced to rehabilitation therapy. As Mudd never appeared again in Star Trek going forward, we are left to wonder if Harry Mudd ever reformed his ways.
Discovery is not only introducing fans to a Harry Mudd who is a decade younger than the version who clashed with Kirk, the Harry Mudd played by Rainn Wilson will be an edgier re-imagining of the character to suit the tone of Discovery. From what we know so far about "Choose Your Pain", Captain Lorca (Jason Isaacs) is captured by the Klingons and held aboard a prison ship. He is held in the same cell as Harry Mudd and another new character, Starfleet Lieutenant Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif). Discovery's version of Harry Mudd looks to be both mischievous and deadly at the same time. It will be interesting to learn more about him in his younger days (expect plenty of Easter eggs), and whether or not he is already married to Stella in 2256-2257. With Wilson already set to continue appearing as Mudd, Discovery is banking on their version continuing the popularity of the original from the 1960s. It'll be a Star Trek first, however, to have a Harry Mudd episode where his name isn't in the episode's title.
Star Trek: Discovery streams @ 8:30pm ET on CBS All-Access and internationally on Netflix.

Taking the Christmas tree down seems to be a lessor event than decorating it. Wouldn't you agree? Repacking my families historical ornaments carefully away for the next year makes me think how fast the days in December go by. We have 3 birthdays around the holiday in my family I am pretty busy.
This weekend was dry so we tackled the cleanup of backyard leaves and branches from the storms. Gardening is a passion of mine and I have always loved working in a garden. I love to design gardens as my friends will attest too. Now, I am working to simplify them. With the Christmas decorations gone and the garden in hibernation things looks pretty bleak in my world. As Ann Lovejoy says, "as autumn slumps into winter, the garden shares its disarray". As I finish my walk around my disarray I feel the cold in my hands and head back inside for my gardening books and thoughts of warm Spring.

A family's home was nearly destroyed in a fire sparked after their electricity was restored.
It happened Wednesday afternoon in Oxon Hill, Md.
Officials with Prince George's County said the house had been without electrical power since Sunday's thunderstorms.
The people living in the home did not unplug all their electrical devices before the power was restored.
Seven adults and three children have been displaced since the fire.
Two firefighters suffered minor burns and a third was treated for smoke inhalation.
Damage to the home is estimated at $200,000.
Officials remind everyone who lost electricity for any period of time to turn off and unplug electrical appliances.
They said "by doing so, it will protect your appliances when electricity is restored and will reduce the risk of an accidental fire."

Latest media releases
No sign of relief, despite stagnating UBS Swiss Real Estate Bubble Index
UBS Swiss Real Estate Bubble Index stands at 1.22 after a slight decline. Although the imbalances have not intensified further, the slight fall in prices on the residential real estate market has, for the time being, failed to bring about a significant reduction in the macroeconomic risks and the existing correction potential.
Zurich/Basel, 5 May 2014 – The UBS Swiss Real Estate Bubble Index remained practically unchanged, staying in the risk zone in the first quarter of 2014 at 1.22 points. The index fell minimally by 0.01 points from the previous quarter. The Real Estate Bubble Index therefore confirms the slowdown that has been felt on the transaction market for several quarters now. However, from a valuation perspective, caution is still advised.
The stagnation of the UBS Swiss Real Estate Bubble Index can be attributed to the overall slight decline in owner-occupied real estate prices. The prices of single-family homes in particular, registered the largest quarterly fall in 17 years with an annualized drop of 4%. Slowly but surely, the prices appear to be reaching their limit, as many first-time buyers struggle to comply with the financial sustainability norms. In addition, the growing saturation of real estate in individual urban areas and increasingly restrictive credit policies due to the newly introduced regulatory measures are pushing prices down. The additional tightening of self-regulation (higher repayment rates, stricter mortgage rules) currently being discussed, and the uncertainty about immigration due to the mass immigration initiative adopted, could initiate a turnaround in price behavior.
For the time being the correction potential of the residential real estate market and the risks for the Swiss economy remains high. Although the rise in mortgage volume has slowed somewhat in the first quarter of 2014, the level of debt is still growing too quickly relative to the stagnating household income. The record number of loan applications for real estate not intended for owner occupancy also continues to be grounds for caution.
The regional risks have hardly changed at all. We did observe a worsening of the imbalances in the monitored regions of Lugano and Locarno in Ticino, with price increases of around 5% in an annual comparison, as well as in some parts of Central Switzerland and Thurgau. In the Lake Geneva region prices remained under pressure. However, due to the high valuation, correction potential continues to be high. On the regional risk map, Basel City is now classified as a risk area and the Gros-de-Vaud region is now considered a part of the regions being monitored.
Selecting exposed and monitoring regions
Our selection of exposed regions is tied to the level of the UBS Swiss Real Estate Bubble Index and is based on a multi-level selection process utilizing regional population and property price data.

A common cause of chronic heel pain is called plantar fasciitis (plant-ar' fash'-e-itis).
This is an inflammation of the band of tissue (called the plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot from the toes to the heel. One way to remember is by the name: the foot is planted on the ground.
It's believed that the structure of the foot is responsible for this disorder, which happens when the ligament that supports the arch in your foot is strained. In some patients, heel pain is accompanied by a bone spur but this is not a cause of pain, just a source of irritation if the bone spur is rubbing against your shoe. Other, less common reasons for foot pain include arthritis, nerve irritation, stress fracture or tendonitis.
Plantar fasciitis pain is often worse right after you get out of bed in the morning or after you've been sitting for a long time. After a few minutes, the fascia become stretched and the pain subsides.
And in fact, that's one component of heel pain treatment— exercises to stretch the fascia.
Doctor can diagnose the problem, ask about your job and/or physical activities and perhaps order x-rays to check for bone spurs. Treatment must be customized for each patient because nobody's feet are identical— one may have long feet, while another has a high arch, etc.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Heel Pain
Losing weight often helps relieve foot pain but, ironically, foot problems also plague active people. Runners are especially prone to plantar fasciitis. If you've taken up a new activity such as tennis that involves repetitive impact, you may need to cut back for a while until the inflammation subsides.
Even walking or bicycling can be difficult for those suffering from heel pain or foot pain.
Plantar fasciitis affects about one in ten Americans at some point in their lives, and the condition can be stubbornly resistant to treatment. My patients sometimes express frustration at the slow rate of recovery. We counsel patience and remind them that 90 percent of patients improve in less than ten months without surgery.
Non-surgical ways to treat this condition include taping the foot, special splints to stretch the calf muscles, cortisone injections and radiofrequency treatment.
Other treatments include icing the foot and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen. Some patients find that special footwear helps relieve the pain. We may prescribe shoe inserts.
Good footwear is important. Your shoes should support the arch, with slightly raised heels. It's best to avoid going barefoot.
Plantar Fasciitis and Excersise
Plantar fasciitis often forces people to change their exercise routine, switching to sports or activities that involve less stress on the feet. Any activity that involves pounding on hard pavement should be avoided.
Specific exercises may help.
- One that I like has the patient sit with the affected foot stretched out in front of them. Wrap a towel or a scarf around the bottom of the foot and pull towards you to stretch the plantar fascia. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds. Repeat this exercise three times, stretching as much as possible without pain.
- Another good exercise has the patient sitting in a chair. Swing the injured foot under the chair and press the heel down on the floor. Hold this pose for 30 seconds.
You can also stretch the calf by standing at arm's length from a wall. Place your hands against the wall with the injured leg closer to the wall and the other leg stretched out behind you. Keeping both heels on the floor, bend the front knee until you feel a stretching in your calf muscle on the injured leg. Count to 30 seconds and release.
These exercises can be performed at work or at home. Try to repeat them several times during the day, always letting pain be your guide.

ATMEL Corporation, represented by Braemac , has announced the industry's first turnkey solution for ZigBee systems. Atmel's Z-link solution consists of the AT86ZL3201 Z-Link controller, a dedicated, ZigBee-ready, full function device (FFD) for 900MHz and 2.4GHz 802.15.4 frequency bands.
It also includes a low power AT86RF210 Z-Link 868/902-928MHz 802.15.4 radio, and plug-and-play ZigBee, and 802.15.4 protocol stacks.
ZigBee is a low data rate, low power, networked wireless standard for control and monitoring applications based on IEEE Standard 802.15.4.
ZigBee-enabled products do not need hard wiring between a powered device and its switch, offering the potential to save millions of dollars in wiring costs in new and existing construction.
Target applications include home and office lighting, environmental control and security, industrial sensors and controls, and medical monitoring systems.
Atmel is the only vendor to provide an 802.15.4 radio plus a ZigBee-specific microcontroller designed to meet the special memory, security and peripheral requirements of the ZigBee standard, and optimised, plug-and-play protocol stacks.
The AT86ZL3201 Z-Link Controller integrates encryption hardware with an 8-bit AVR RISC processor and memory structures that are optimized specifically to implement the ZigBee standard at the lowest possible cost with the longest possible battery life.
Atmel's Z-Link controller is an FFD that has been optimised to meet the requirements of the ZigBee standard at the lowest cost and lowest possible power consumption. It also eliminates the need for any firmware engineering for the ZigBee and 802.15.4 stacks.
Atmel's AT86RF210 Z-Link radio is an 868/902-928MHz, 802.15.4 and ZigBee-compliant transceiver with 10 channels at 40kbps in the 915MHz ISM band, and one channel at 20kbps in the European 868MHz band.
The air interface is DSSS, including spreading and despreading, using BPSK. The PHY includes receiver energy detection, link quality indication and clear channel assessment. The Z-Link MAC allows network association and disassociation, has an optional superframe structure with beacons for time synchronization and a GTS mechanism for high priority communications.
It supports up to 65,000 nodes in star, cluster or mesh networks, with a range of one to 100 metres. CSMA-CA is used for channel access, using contention-based and contention-free access modes.
With 14.5mA receive current and 4mW (6dBm) transmit current at 1.8 volts, Atmel's Z-Link transceiver consumes 25% less current in receive mode than competing 900MHz 802.15.4 radios.
The Z-Link radio's 1.8V power supply extends battery life beyond that which can be expected from 802.15.4 radios with 2.0V or higher power supplies. Power consumption in sleep mode is 1μA.
The Z-Link radio's ultra low power and extended battery life are significant advantages in ZigBee applications that target a two-year battery life.

The Baha'i Faith
The Baha'i Faith is an independent world religion found by Bahá'u'lláh in 1863. Today, the Baha'i Faith is practiced throughout the world by more than 5 million people of nearly every nationality and ethnic background. Baha'is are attracted to the Faith by the belief that we all belong to one human race, that all religions share a common source and aim, and that the long-awaited era of peace promised by God in the world's sacred scriptures is now within reach.
"Ye dwell in one world, and have been created through the operation of one Will. Blessed is he who mingleth with all men in a spirit of utmost kindliness and love."
— Bahá'u'lláh
Core Principles
Bahá'u'lláh, the Founder of the Bahá'í Faith, provided humanity with core principles, including:
- Elimination of all forms of prejudice
- Equality between men and women
- Harmony of science and religion
- Compulsory education
- Universal world peace
- Spiritual solutions to economic problems
What Baha'is Do

SAN FRANCISCO (Private Equity Week) - Serial entrepreneur Jason Goldberg has developed a new social networking site aimed at gay men that he called a cross between Facebook and Yelp.
Goldberg, the founder and CEO of Fabulis http://www.fabulis.com, recently raised $625,000 in seed funding in anticipation of launching his new website this spring. Goldberg said he hopes the site, which is still in beta test mode, will become a brand synonymous with gay men and their love of "celebrating life."
He said Fabulis will provide a place where gay men can go online to discuss and share places and cities to visit and reviews of what to see there, similar to a Yelp. Goldberg added the site will also include a location-sharing component, much like the social networking platforms of Foursquare or Gowalla, and provide Facebook-like connections among friends.
A deeper component of a gay man's lifestyle is that friends of friends become like an extended part of your family, Goldberg said.
Goldberg, who previously founded tech companies Jobster and Socialmedian, came up with the idea for Fabulis while working in Europe. He said that when his boyfriend visited from the United States, they were unable to find many gay-centric activities online.
The sites he found were "representing 50-year old women, but not addressing my demographic," he said. "I realized then that I needed to create a product that I wanted to use."
Fabulis's seed-funding round was led by The Washington Post Co. and various individual investors, some of whom previously backed Jobster and Socialmedian, which Goldberg sold to Xing last year.
The individual backers of Fabulis include Goldberg; Allen Morgan, venture partner of the Mayfield Fund; Don Baer, worldwide vice chairman of Burson-Marsteller; Lars Hinrichs, CEO of Xing; and three other undisclosed investors.
As for future rounds of investing, Goldberg said he will explore the possibilities. In the meantime, he will use recent funds toward product development and awareness.
Fabulis will need to compete with other social networks, such as Facebook, for user's attention spans, admitted Goldberg. If his site can capture even a small percentage of gay men, who primarily use Facebook to interact, then Goldberg said his startup can succeed. Facebook just recently announced it had surpassed 400 million users worldwide.
Goldberg would not disclose whether the company will charge membership fees. The site will generate advertising revenue, but he said his plans do not rely solely on advertising. He said Fabulis will earn revenue immediately.
The company is already appealing to several college-age men through a viral user marketing campaign, asking future users to post videos about why they are "fabulis."
In return for videos, the company is sending out T-shirts with the company logo. The younger users will drive Fabulis with their social-networking skills, Goldberg said, but added the site will cater to all gay men.

Tap into high-tech, hands-on making
OCAC's FabLab gives students new ways to craft their ideas
The Oregon College of Art and Craft (OCAC) FabLab is more than a digital design studio. It's a collaborative creative space where students in all media explore materials and forms.
OCAC established this digital fabrication lab, or "FabLab" for short, in 2015, with generous funding from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and donors. We launched a state-of-the-art facility that unites technology, art, and craft to reimagine the handmade.
Today, the FabLab studio serves as the hub for all digital making at OCAC. Its equipment and design center are integrated across the campus; in Photography Digital Imaging lab, in Wood Studio (CNC router), and in Fibers (Jacquard and quilting machine). Together these resources represent a variety of tools to enhance the making and conceptual processes.
Innovate with us!
Our FabLab and digital studios are some of the many innovative ways OCAC inspires students to advance their artistic vision and career. We invite you to join our community and imagine what you will create.
Using the FabLab
The FabLab's studios are available to all undergraduate and graduate OCAC students who receive training. Students who major in Digital Strategies or who take digital studies courses have the most opportunity to deeply and creatively explore the FabLab's tools. After receiving training, students sign up for machine time through the online FabLab calendar. If you have an idea for a project but have not received training, contact the FabLab Manager to set up training and/or a time to work on a machine.
Community members may also use the FabLab through Studio School classes. No community members have access to the machines or FabLab services outside of the scheduled Studio School class times.

Storms swept across the D.C. area Thursday morning for the second time this week, bringing heavy rain and lightning to the region.
The fast-moving cluster of storms arrived in the D.C. metro area just before 6 a.m. Storm Team4 has declared a Weather Alert Day.
The rain will continue through the morning, tapering off around 10 a.m.
Storm Team4 Meteorologist Tom Kierein said some creeks and streams may overflow their banks, especially across Northern Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley. Low-lying areas in part of the region also may see some high water.
A flash flood warning is in effect for Page and Shenandoah counties in Virginia until 1 p.m. Thursday. Those watches are likely to be extended.
There's a slight chance for scattered thunderstorms Thursday evening, with the rain moving out of the area by late Thursday night.
This is the second time the D.C. area has dealt with storms this week. The National Weather Service confirmed Wednesday that a tornado touched down in Howard County, Maryland, on Tuesday.
The tornado was an EF-0, the lowest level on the tornado wind speed scale. The tornado had wind speeds reaching 80 mph and touched down for nearly 13 miles in a path about 500 yards wide.
No injuries had been reported as of late Tuesday.
In D.C., the Cleveland Park Metro station was closed after flooding sent water cascading down an escalator. Commuters who got off a train trudged through the deep water, photos show.

How to Photograph Flowers
Picture this...
You're in your studio and have just created an arrangement you LOVE. You set up your shot, consider the foundational principles of photography, grab your iPhone and snap not one, but several images that are totally on brand and social media and website worthy, all in the comfort of your own space! This used to be a pain point for you, but now photographing flowers is easy for you. You understand the exact thoughts and actions that go into creating the kind of images you want to show your work through. Taking pictures used to be a big guessing game, but now you are able to observe, set and shoot for the outcome you desire.
Or maybe
You know how important in-house photography is for a creative business, so you've invested in a great camera, but you still aren't getting the shots you hoped for. This class will give you the foundations required to compose an excellent image on any camera.
This class is a great fit for a florist, flower farmer or floral enthusiast who wants to take better photos of flowers
Want to take great floral pictures?
you don't need an expensive camera, you need foundational photography principles
As I was chatting with Heather about the vision for this class, she said,
"It's really not about the camera. It's natural to believe you need an expensive camera to get great shots, but it's just not true. What's really needed is mastery over the elements and principles of setting up a great shot on the camera you already have. If you love it and want to explore more, then upgrade to put additional tools in your toolbox."
Everything you see on this page was created in my simple studio in Boone with an iPhone. There was a time I didn't believe it was possible for me to take shots I loved, but Heather changed that for me! In this class you'll see the exact steps you need to take to create the images you've been eyeing — bright, moody, modern or romantic.
This class is hosted by me, Kelly and taught by Heather Payne of Heather Payne Photography.

How to become a drone cop
Now that the FAA has changed their rules to allow police and public safety departments to fly small drones, and Homeland Security is giving away $500 billion this year to fund projects like drones for the Seattle Police Department as part of their Urban Areas Security Initiative, you may be wondering "How do I become a drone cop?"
Curtis Sprague, retired SWAT officer and director of the aviation division for Tactical Electronics, has some advice for you at PoliceOne:
Far more than simply building and flying RC vehicles, Sprague advises the seriously-interested officer to join an AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) sanctioned RC club. Merely by being at the flying field with other club members, the hobbyist will be surrounded by experienced pilots who have a wealth of knowledge and insight into design and development of unmanned aircraft. There, the new hobbyist will be exposed to safety guidelines, aviation etiquette, and the FAA.
"There is not a flying field anywhere in this country where the FAA and current UAV regulation is not a topic of discussion and education. In this world, an aspiring UAS Operator will learn the pros and cons of basic fixed wing platforms as well as rotorcraft platforms. This is an important foundation needed before venturing into the world of advanced, autonomous systems," Sprague said.

Avatron Software has just come out with an awesome little application that allows you to pull off a few awesome little tricks with the AirPlay functionality on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. It's called "Air Display."
Two versions of this application are availalble, and you do not need both versions for it to work. The Mac OS X version turns a secondary Mac into an extension of your screen, given of course that you actually have two Macs around you. Alas, the impressive version of this is the iOS app, which is likely going to be used more often, and it's way cooler.
Air Display iOS, if used with an iPad, is easily the best way to work this. the iPad screen is big enough to actually work as a screen expansion (second screen), and it's portable enough to allow you to work conveniently on the go. If giving a presentation to a small group of people, in a place without a projector (first off… why are you doing that?), than this will save you, kinda.
Of course, a secondary monitor is always the best way to do this type of thing, but if you already have an iPad, and didn't really want to pay a ton of money for an Apple Display, this may not be such a bar idea. You can pretty much use your Mac desktop as a touch screen with this, although it's main purpose is to expand your screen, like an external monitor.
It's important to note also that this is being done wirelessly, or via ethernet, and it's not the same as a wired connection from an external monitor. The devices will have the limitations of the network and computer power.
The iOS version will set you back $9.99, while the Mac variable, unfortunately, is $20. If you believe you can benefit from it's functionality however, than this may not be such a big deal (businesses and such).
Here are the details, from the Developer:
Air Display's performance is extremely responsive, employing a unique dynamic compression algorithm. On a typical Wi-Fi network, mouse cursor refreshes are indistinguishable from a wired mouse.
Air Display works in both landscape and portrait configurations. Just rotate your screen, and it automatically reconfigures.
Air Display makes a laptop much more useful. Adding the iPad's 1024×768 display nearly doubles the screen area of a laptop or netbook.
Air Display not only gives you a wireless computer screen extender, but also works as a tablet input device. You can use your finger to draw directly on the screen's surface. Try it with a calculator app, painting tool, or music control surface! Simple gestures allow you to operate the right mouse button and scroll wheel.
You can connect to Air Display from both Mac and Windows. And because it's a universal app, it works on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
When you rotate the screen, or disconnect and reconnect, your windows are automatically repositioned appropriately, so you don't have to drag them back to the iOS device.
You can choose to connect automatically to Air Display every time you launch the app (Mac only, for now).
• Fill your Air Display screen with your utility apps, like iChat, Mail, iCal, and Calculator.
• Amaze your friends by playing Flash animations on an iOS device!
• Graphic design: Make Photoshop and Illustrator usable on your laptop by putting your tool palettes on the iOS screen.
• Music: Use your iOS screen as a wireless control surface for Logic or Pro Tools.
• Programming: Use the extra display area for such auxiliary development tools as Console, Terminal, and the Debugger.
• Business: Move all of your iWork and Office palettes and inspector windows onto Air Display, and let your document fill the screen.

LineSider Technologies, which publishes policy-based network infrastructure control and management software, has launched OverDrive, a policy server that integrates with 3Com Open Services Networking (3Com OSN) for MSR Series Multi-Service Routers. The OverDrive software lets users deploy and manage Internet protocol-based services across complex network environments.
OverDrive software controls and manages deployed network services and devices through business-level policies. By integrating OverDrive with 3Com OSN, users can virtualize their networks to simplify the management of infrastructure services.
"Businesses today must deploy increasingly complex, multi-service IP infrastructure on a limited budget with a finite number of support personnel," said Harley Stowell, CEO of LineSider. "OverDrive technology on 3Com's OSN gives [users] the ability to easily manage their network services with fewer support personnel and can reduce operational costs..."
GMH Communities Trust, a specialty housing company that provides off-campus housing for college students as well as off-base housing for military personnel and their families, has implemented OverDrive as a network access control platform. The company will leverage the integration of the OverDrive suite with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and give administrators the ability to control users' access to defined network resources through AD and OverDrive policies.
"We are pleased that the two companies have integrated the policy-based control and management capabilities of the OverDrive solution directly into the 3Com infrastructure devices," said Tom Christopoulos, a systems architect for GMH. "This collaborative effort will make it easier for us to manage our network.... Additionally, the multi-service capabilities of the 3Com platform allow us to use fewer...devices across the network, which significantly reduces energy consumption and costs."

"fashion is a dream, and in this moment we need dreams" said pier paolo piccioli about this collection when interviewed during the spring show season in paris. 20th century mexico & images by deborahg turberville were seen on the collection's moodboard for the collection, and interestingly- deborah turberville shot this campaign. with turbeville behind the lens, karl templer styled the campaign, beautifully. shot on location in pozos, mexico; the campaign intends on aesthetically representing poetic femininity through cited inspiration of artist, actresses & the fantasy of fashion imagery. a shift in direction, aesthetically, in comparison to the houses' last campaign, i love the raw, natural feel that is seen in this campaign. considering that the fall show season is approaching & haute couture just wrapped, i felt that this spring campaign would be a good segue following the close of spring couture. in identifying relativity from campaigns & collections, this marks the first of many campaigns for my bout of spring advertising coverage.
in terms of cohesion, the same inspiration that was the catalyst for their couture collection, is slightly mirrored in what the house of valentino has also been inspired by, in their designs of ready-to-wear. that inspiration being that natural, soft, garden aesthetic. slightly unkept hair & soft braids wrapped each of the model's heads cast in the campaign, through the hair styling work of mark hampton. make-up was kept simple & chic by pierre orlando, whom repeated that natural direction the house is inspired by so much in this phase; also adding a statement lip for contrast of the overtly simplified. overall, the campaign is one that digresses from the usually dark, heavy glamour that so many other big labels are doing. while i had hoped for something more glamourous, i fully appreciate what valentino is doing & more than identify, as well as value their direction as it relates to their stated inspiration. the opposition from what other labels are doing definitely creates a wider path of design & visionary disctinction.

- The decisions of France's many undecided voters will be instrumental in determining who reaches the presidential runoff.
- But the National Assembly elections will be as important as the presidential race in shaping the country's future.
- Should different parties gain control of the presidency and parliament, the resulting political friction could complicate policymaking.
With the fate of the European Union possibly on the line, the impending French presidential election has captured the world's attention. Popular anti-establishment candidates on both the left and right have promised to introduce protectionist measures and have threatened to take the country out of the European Union if they win. Somewhat overlooked, though, have been the National Assembly elections that will follow weeks later, even though their results will determine what the new president might accomplish in office. France's next leader will need the support of lawmakers to carry out most of the items on his or her agenda. Moreover, should one party gain control of the presidency and another win a majority in parliament, policymaking could get trickier, reducing the chances of sweeping reform in the country.
All Eyes on the Presidential Race
On April 23, French voters will choose from among 11 candidates in the first round of the presidential election. In the likely case that no candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round, a runoff between the two top performers will follow on May 7. According to the most recent opinion polls, four candidates stand a good chance of reaching the second round: nationalist Marine Le Pen (National Front), centrist Emmanuel Macron (En Marche!), conservative Francois Fillon (Republican Party) and leftist Jean-Luc Melenchon (Unsubmissive France).
Though Macron and Fillon have proposed different combinations of spending cuts, investment plans and economic reform, a victory by either wouldn't pose much of a threat to the status quo in French and European politics. A win by Le Pen or Melenchon, on the other hand, would open the door to profound change. Le Pen has pledged to apply "intelligent protectionism" to defend the French economy, and has promoted the idea of holding a referendum to decide whether France should leave the European Union. Melenchon, meanwhile, has promised steep hikes in public spending and has threatened to leave the European Union unless the bloc introduces deep reforms.
In French history, no candidate from a fringe political party has won the presidency. In 2002, Jean-Marie Le Pen (Marine Le Pen's father and National Front founder) reached the runoff, where incumbent Jacques Chirac defeated him in a second-round landslide after other parties aligned against Le Pen. The country's electoral system will continue to play an important role in the outcome of this year's presidential election, but other factors will help to determine the final result.
A high proportion of voters are still undecided as the first round of voting draws near. Polls suggest that roughly one in three voters has yet to choose a candidate, making the outcome difficult to predict. Voter loyalty will also come into play. A recent poll by the French Institute of Public Opinion showed that 85 percent of voters who prefer Le Pen and 80 percent of those favoring Fillon are certain about their decision, while the strength of loyalties for both Macron and Melenchon hovered around only 65 percent. This suggests that those with a stated preference for Macron or Melenchon are more likely to change their minds.
Voter turnout could also be key. Should Le Pen make the second round, she could benefit from high abstention levels. If every person who chose her in the first round does so in the second, while supporters of candidates eliminated in the first round decide not to participate in the runoff, she would stand a better chance of winning. Low turnout among progressive voters — those most likely to oppose Le Pen — in a runoff would also work in her favor. Conservative voters, on the other hand, would be more likely to split their votes between Le Pen and a center-left or left-wing rival.
Legislative Elections: Not To Be Overlooked
After the presidential election wraps up, legislative elections will be held on June 11 and 18. The next president will need support from the National Assembly to make good on electoral promises, especially for disruptive measures like a referendum on EU membership. Before such a referendum could be held, the French Constitution would have to be reformed. Doing so would require a three-fifths majority in Congress, the special body formed when the National Assembly and Senate get together to vote on constitutional changes. (Any attempt by the president to organize a referendum on EU membership without congressional consent could be blocked by the country's constitutional court.) But even modest reforms in other policy areas would require lawmakers' approval.
The National Assembly holds the key to the country's governability. In the French semi-presidential system, a president coexists alongside a prime minister. Broadly speaking, the president oversees foreign and defense policy while the prime minister is in charge of domestic and economic policy (these distinctions are blurry, though; presidents often have a hand in setting domestic and economic policy). While the president appoints the prime minister, the National Assembly has the power to force the resignation of the prime minister and Cabinet. This means that the president must choose a prime minister who reflects the will of the majority in the National Assembly.
Because presidential and legislative elections take place within weeks of each other, the same party often wins both. It is possible, however, for different parties to control the presidency and the National Assembly, a situation in France called "cohabitation." It forces the president and prime minister to cooperate to avoid political paralysis. For example, in 1986 after his party failed to win control of the National Assembly, Socialist President Francois Mitterrand had to appoint conservative leader Chirac as prime minister.
What Cohabitation Would Look Like
Three of France's four most popular candidates present themselves as political outsiders. As individual candidates, Le Pen, Macron and Melenchon draw popular support, but none are the face of large parties with strong national representation. Voters could support one of the protest candidates for the presidency but force cohabitation by electing traditional party candidates to the National Assembly.
In the 2012 presidential election, Le Pen won 17.9 percent of the vote. Though that was the National Front's best showing, she failed to make the runoff. In the legislative elections that followed only a few weeks later, the National Front won only two of the National Assembly's 577 seats. The two-round voting mechanism contributed to that outcome. In many districts, National Front candidates reached the second voting round only to lose to moderates. Moreover, the National Front didn't run candidates in every district. But most important, at the national level in the legislative elections, the party received just 13.6 percent of the vote — well below Le Pen's share in the presidential election. This outcome suggests that the leader was more popular than her party.
If the party that wins the presidency fails to gain control of the National Assembly, the new president's first move would be to seek support in the body to appoint a consensus prime minister and Cabinet. That could happen by creating a formal alliance with one or more parties in the National Assembly, or through the formation of a minority government that receives support from other parties on a policy-by-policy basis. Both scenarios would require constant negotiations between the presidency and the National Assembly and complicate policymaking. The French Constitution gives the prime minister power to bypass the National Assembly, but it comes at the risk of triggering a vote of no-confidence.
An alliance between the president and parties in the National Assembly is more likely if the legislature is fragmented and no party controls a majority of seats. But should a single party win one, it could try to impose a prime minister on the president. This would severely reduce the president's influence over domestic affairs and increase room for friction between the presidency and premiership.
The French Constitution grants "extraordinary powers" to the president to take full control of the country in times of acute crisis (such as a terrorist attack), but an attempt to use those powers to ignore the National Assembly would likely spur widespread protests. The president could also try to replace the country's semi-presidential system (both Melenchon and Le Pen have raised that possibility), a move that would require constitutional reform. The National Assembly and the constitutional court each could block the attempt.
The Outcome
Despite the difficulty that candidates such as Le Pen or Melenchon would have in trying to implement their policy agendas without broad support, a victory by either one would have a psychological impact in France and abroad, causing political, economic and financial shockwaves.
Financial markets wouldn't react well to a win by either politician. The interest rates of French and other Southern European debts could climb, while the value of the euro would probably drop out of fear of another economic downturn in Europe. These disruptions would be particularly severe if savers and investors begin to worry that the eurozone will dissolve. France, Italy, Spain and others could see capital flight as those with savings in French or Southern European banks move their assets to safer havens in Northern Europe or outside the European Union, concerned that national currencies might soon replace the euro. This could force national governments, or even the European Central Bank, to introduce capital controls in the eurozone and prompt European Union to start making plans for the end of the euro.
A Le Pen or Melenchon presidency without support in the National Assembly could be fragile and short-lived. It would likely spark broad protests and destabilize France, the second-largest economy in Europe. At the Continental level, Germany's first reaction would be to try to negotiate with the new French president, but room for cooperation would be limited, considering both candidates' strong criticisms of the European Union. But while Germany and financial markets would welcome a Macron or Fillon presidency, without a legislative mandate, the candidates' ability to turn their campaign promises into policy would be limited by institutional and political constraints. So, though the outcome of the approaching presidential race is certainly significant for France and beyond, the results of the National Assembly elections that follow will also be critical to determining the country's path forward.

|Types of Knives
Kitchen Knives
Does not matter, how beautiful your kitchen looks and how stunning is decoration, if the knives are not good enough, you cannot cook well. So, it is best to have the knowledge of every type of kitchen knives that can be used. Selection of knives depends upon the usage and of course on the cooking style. So, if you are running your kitchen without the knives then make your kitchen perfect or else plan for your perfect kitchen.
Well, if you are really confused and do not want multiple knives around you, then you might consider Universal Kitchen Knife. It is the combination of everything. However, it does not make it perfect for each and every purpose. But, yes it can make your work bit easier.
The most common and important job while cooking is perhaps the cutting and slicing. We often admire the excellent work in salad in restaurant and other places. However, some credit of that excellence must go to the perfect knife also. However, the experience of the chef cannot be discredited here but knife plays an important role.
|Takeda Clever Knives
|Santoku Knives
Chopping is another important job in kitchen. The requirement for the chopping or chopper knife is different from the others. However, it is never serious segregated. The blades should be always sharp but with longer edge and wider base.
The knife portion should be greater than the other with an equally broad handle to control the chopping. The handle should be very comfortable as it may cause any accident due slippage as chopping needs more power.
For Dicing, kitchen needs something extra and special knife. It is to be understood that the long edge and pin pointed top of the knife can be world of good for the knife. The upper portion of the knife has to be very sharp in order to complete the dicing.
Kitchen is something which has many definitions and requirements. However, the basic needs and the process of kitchen does not change. A maker understands the value of a product and thus it is very essential to use proper resources. The Knife cannot be separated from the kitchen and the variation and the specifications actually enhance the kitchen experience.

|Performance at Nola, Darling. Photo credit: Rafael Grafals.
The venue:
Let's face it: 2014 left a lot of musicians and music lovers eulogizing the Brooklyn scene. A number of iconic venues announced that they'd be closing their doors last year, and the list of options for putting on a show — especially in North Brooklyn — took a major hit. But as Death By Audio, 285 Kent, and the rest of them were hosting farewell shows, Win Scarlett (SZ #18), host of the slackgaze project, pushed back against the tide and landed a vibrant new DIY art and music space across the river in Chelsea, of all places.
At 161 W. 22nd Street (at 7th Avenue), Nola, Darling is the new home base for slackgaze's many operations, from artist's residencies and installations to independent research and publishing to DJ sets and rock and roll shows. That creative, experimental attitude toward programming ensures that a trip to Nola is never a boring experience. At Square Zeros, we're longtime fans of Win's curatorial ideas and attitudes toward music and the arts, not to mention his band Chimes, who are playing night four of the festival.
So before you decide to give up the ghost on the whole New York City music scene, remember: it's 2015, and you belong with us at Nola, Darling on Friday, March 6.

As of October 2017, I have transitioned into a new professional role. I am still supporting people trying to cultivate discernment and leadership. But I am not offering supports through Being with Between.
I still hope the Being with Between website is helpful. Maybe it helps you learn, explore, or find a language for where you are. Or maybe it offers something totally different - and exactly what you need. Either would be great.
If you would like to pursue similar supports, I suggest:
Coracle: Spiritual Formation for Kingdom Action - www.inthecoracle.org
Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation - www.shalem.org
Spiritual Directors International - www.sdiworld.org
Find the Divine - www.findthedivine.com
Still Harbor - www.stillharbor.org
Blessings on your journey. I'm glad you found Being with Between. I hope you'll keep searching - and listening - while you are in between.
With gratitude,

A personal and compelling motivational address by hard-luck-crack-hustler-turned-celebrity-Chef Jeff Henderson was capped Feb. 20 by a $5,000 donation from St. Augustine's bed and breakfast community to help launch a culinary arts program at a local homeless center.
The new "Fresh Starts in Culinary Arts" program created by First Coast Technical College will provide rigorous and relevant training that will allow graduates to receive certification from the American Culinary Federation, local and national health departments and industry professionals. The training is designed to help graduates become readily employed in the third fastest growing occupation in Florida - foodservice - or for transfer into FCTC's Commercial Foods/Culinary Arts Program.
Fresh Starts will be set up at St. Augustine's St. Francis House homeless center, said FCTC president Sandra Raburn.
The $5,000 gift from St. Augustine Historic Inns, (SAHI), comes from partial proceeds of the December, 2012, holiday tour of inns, an annual event.
"Each year our members select a local charity to which we give partial proceeds of the tour ticket sales," said SAHI president Tim Millbern, owner of At Journey's End B&B. "The 'Fresh Starts' program complements our B&Bs focus on hospitality and culinary quality, and translates these values into rewarding educational and job opportunities."
FCTC previously developed established a successful culinary arts program for the homeless at the Clara White Mission in Jacksonville, which continues to graduate and certify students under the auspices of the Mission. In addition, FCTC's culinary arts program partners with PRIDE to offer culinary training courses that lead to industry certifications for Florida prisoners. These programs have helped graduates pass certification exams and find employment in the food service industry upon release.
Chef Jeff Henderson, a former federal prison inmate himself, turned his life around when he discovered a passion for cooking after being assigned to jail kitchen duty.
Henderson, whose $20-a-ticket appearance Feb. 20 benefited Fresh Starts, related how food was his catalyst for professional success. Through work, an awakened sense of self-worth and what he calls strategic development of his gifts and relationships, he eventually became a nationally acclaimed culinarian, TV personality and best-selling author of his memoir, "Cooked." A film starring Will Smith, based on the book, is currently in development, he said.
Henderson said he doesn't spend as much time in the kitchen as he used to. He now travels the country as a motivational speaker, with a message especially targeting young people at risk of giving up on education and positive life goals. Visit www.ChefJeffLive.com for more information.
The SAHI group shared its gratitude and respect for Henderson's message with its "Silver Teapot Service Award," presented at the program in recognition of his contribution to education and inspiration through culinary arts.
To learn more about supporting Fresh Starts, contact Jill Miller at email@example.com or at 904-547-3386. For more information about First Coast Technical College, log onto www.fctc.edu or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (www.jccf.ca) seeks a part-time senior litigator to assist with constitutional litigation files in support of Charter section 2 fundamental freedoms. The ideal candidate will have considerable litigation experience, preferably 10 or more years, and will have a passion for defending the Charter section 2 freedoms of individuals from violation by government and by governmental authorities.
This part-time position will require, on average, five to eight hours per week, with most of that work in the nature of guiding, coaching and mentoring an articling student and/or junior counsel, by way of reviewing pleadings, legal research and other aspects of constitutional and administrative law litigation. Remuneration will be commensurate with experience and qualifications, bearing in mind that the JCCF is a registered charity that is supported entirely by voluntary donations.
This part-time position is ideal for a litigator able to devote a portion of her/his time to the cause of freedom and justice, and able to sacrifice that portion of her/his time without receiving market-rate compensation. The JCCF carries on litigation throughout Canada, much of it involving the defense of campus free speech rights at colleges and universities. A willingness to work cooperatively with other lawyers who are part of the JCCF's network of pro bono counsel is essential. The successful candidate will work from her/his own office in the city of her/his choice; there is no requirement to be based in Calgary, where the JCCF is headquartered.
Resumes will be received in strictest confidence by John Carpay at firstname.lastname@example.com, and must be accompanied by a cover letter explaining why the applicant is interested in this part-time position.

Arakeri, VH (2003) Sonoluminescence and bubble fusion. In: Current Science, 85 (7). pp. 911-916.
Download (185kB)
Sonoluminescence (SL), the phenomenon of light emission from nonlinear motion of a gas bubble, involves an extreme degree of energy focusing. The conditions within the bubble during the last stages of the nearly catastrophic implosion are thought to parallel the efforts aimed at developing inertial confinement fusion. A limited review on the topic of SL and its possible connection to bubble nuclear fusion is presented here. The emphasis is on looking for a link between the various forms of SL observed and the severity of bubble collapse or implosion. A simple energy analysis is also presented to enable the search for an appropriate parameter space and an experimental technique for achieving energy densities required for triggering fusion reactions within the bubble.
