Liu Huang A-tao (劉黃阿桃), the first Taiwanese woman to accuse the Japanese government of driving thousands of Taiwanese women into sex slavery during World War II, died on Thursday at the age of 90.
Liu Huang united eight other Taiwanese self--proclaimed former "comfort women" to file lawsuits against the Japanese government. Her death, from natural causes, marked a chapter in the women's battle for justice against the atrocities allegedly perpetrated by occupying Japanese forces.
The leader of a women's group said "Grandma A-tao" had waited 66 years for justice, but did not receive a word of apology from the Japanese government before she passed away.
Kang Shu-hua (康淑華), chief executive of the Taipei Women's Rescue Foundation, which helps Taiwanese comfort women seek justice and compensation from Japan, described what happened to Liu Huang before she returned to Taiwan in 1945 after Japan surrendered to the Allied forces.
Foundation chairwoman Huang Shu-ling (黃淑玲) said Japan had tried in 1995 to make "private" peace with the surviving comfort women through an "Asian Women's Fund" in an attempt to evade public responsibility for its war-time atrocities.
She said Liu Huang was encouraged by a South Korean comfort woman who said: "It is not us, but the Japanese government, that should feel ashamed."
After hearing that, Liu Huang decided to publicly accuse the Japanese government of inhumane treatment of Taiwanese women, Huang said. Liu Huang led eight other former comfort women to file international lawsuits against the Japanese government from 1999 to 2005, demanding an apology and compensation.
Sixty-nine years ago, Liu Huang was duped into service in Southeast Asia, being told she would work as a nurse, but was actually forced into providing sex services to Japanese soldiers, Huang said. Three days after she landed in Indonesia, she was injured during a battle and had to have her womb removed, Huang said, adding that Liu Huang kept all these tribulations to herself after she returned to Taiwan in 1945.
She later married a retired soldier whose love and patience informed a new phase of life. They adopted a child and raised a family together.
The assertion by the South Korean woman prompted Liu Huang to become the first Taiwanese to make public accusations of sex slavery against Japan, Huang said.
During the process of filing lawsuits against Japan, Liu Huang said: "We're all cherished daughters in the eyes of our parents. Since the Japanese army robbed us of our virginity, it's not too much to demand an apology from such a government."
Kang said many comfort women had taken their stories with them to their graves, adding that they had never heard a single word of apology from Japan while they were alive.
It's truly sad, Kang said, that after Japan ruined so many lives, those lives have now ended. She vowed to use her foundation's resources to continue to help the surviving former comfort women fight for justice, which she said would be one way to respect the memory of Liu Huang.
With the passing of Liu Huang, only 10 Taiwanese comfort women remain. They are all waiting for an apology from Japan, Kang said.
Liu Huang's actions encouraged other victims to shed their sense of shame and join hands to confront Japan and demand justice, Kang said.
Huang recalled a moment when Liu Huang showed her a scar on the right side of her abdomen and said: "This is where my pain is, do you know?"

I would like a way to clear cache from all my locally installed browsers - quickly and easily. A simple utility that would ask "Clear all browser caches?" with Yes/No. Just the major browsers -IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and optionally Opera
I understand CCleaner can do this but it is not as simple as I would like (as it has other functions as well).
I tried googling/stacking and couldn't find anything.

The Director-General, National Youth Service Corps, Brig. Gen. Johnson Olawumi, has said the NYSC did not ban pregnant women and nursing women from its orientation camps.
The director-general stated that because of the challenges pregnant women and nursing mothers face, they were only advised to take good care of themselves and come to the camps after being fit to withstand the rigours involved in camping activities.
Olawumi said, "We did not ban pregnant women and nursing mothers from orientation camps. In the past, we have had cases where pregnant women and nursing mothers came to camps to participant in the NYSC activities. These are people who should come for service but rather we see ourselves managing them. So, what we are saying is that 'if you are pregnant, why don't you go and deliver, then when you are okay, you can come for the national service. It is in their interest and also to give effectiveness to what we are doing in the scheme."
He also urged state governors to continue to support the activities of the NYSC in their respective states.
According to him, there is a reduction in the subventions and support from some governors while others still support activities of the national service scheme.
Olawumi added that some governors had continued to show enthusiasm towards the programmes and activities of the corps.
He, however, noted that lack of funds and other state obligations could be responsible for the low subventions and support from some of the governors.
The DG also said NYSC had not banned pregnant women and nursing mothers from its orientation camps.
He added that the NYSC would continue to unite the corps members to boost inter-personal relationship across the country.

With graduation in full swing, many young adults are getting ready to head into the 'real' world to seek out jobs that can help them pay off their student loans.
Fortunately for a half dozen new hires this year, a Canadian company is offering to make those student loan payments on their behalf.
SimplyCast, which markets a business communication platform in Nova Scotia, has received more than 100 resumes from applicants responding to an employment ad in a local paper.
Her Student Debt Was Paid in Full After A Bank Heard Her Family Story
SimplyCast President and CEO Saeed El-Darahali personally struggled with student loan debt after graduating with a master's degree in business administration from Saint Mary's University.
He was surprised that no company had offered such an initiative to graduates before. He told the CBC, "Maybe this might be a great opportunity that a private corporation can take some of their wealth and provide it back to their most important asset, their employees."

Interview With Splash Damage
Today I was able to talk with one of the designers from Splash Damage about the recently released port of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars for the consoles, as well as their thoughts on the FPS genre right now.
About Splash Damage Ltd:
Based in London, Splash Damage Ltd is an independently-owned game developer dedicated to online gaming, and one of the leading Shooter developers in Europe. Splash Damage developed the critically acclaimed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for id Software and has just completed work on Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars, winning over 70 awards and nominations. Founded by Paul 'Locki' Wedgwood in 2001 with key members of the mod-making community, Splash Damage also contributed to DOOM 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Game of the Year Edition. For more information, visit www.splashdamage.com.
Interview with: Ed 'BongoBoy' Stern (Senior Game Designer)
Stern's major past projects:
2003 Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory – Game Designer
2007 Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars – Senior Game Designer
What are your thoughts on bringing QUAKE Wars to the consoles? Is it something that was always planned from the very beginning, or was it decided later on to do a port?
It was something we'd wondered about right at the start of the project but then pretty much all our logistical, technical and imaginative bandwidth was taken up with developing ETQW for PC. Once we'd started to get the game in decent shape and fun to play Activision liked the look of what we were making, and decided to get Nerve and Underground Development (formerly Z-Axis) in to do the console ports. So while we did think about console versions right at the start, we were submerged deep in dev stuff and pleasantly surprised to find about halfway through the development schedule that console gamers would get to play a version of ETQW too.
What sort of relationship do you have with Nerve and Z-Axis (the teams that recently brought QUAKE Wars to the consoles)?
Nerve actually contributed to the PC version of the game. They helped us out with two of the maps – Quarry and Island – and we worked quite closely with them on those. Both Nerve Software and Underground Development (formerly Z-Axis) handled their console conversions mostly in-house and while we got the occasional build during development, Splash Damage wasn't really involved there.
Did you ever think that the ideas introduced in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory would affect team-based FPS so greatly? Also, did you realize how popular a game it would become?
There are only so many ways of designing a game and arguably no entirely original ideas so when anything works it tends to crop up in other games. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was heavily based on the excellent work by id and Nerve Software and Gray Matter – whatever we achieved we did by crouching on their gameplay shoulders. And W:ET hit a sweet spot and seemed to work OK, so it wasn't enormously startling or unexpected when elements showed up elsewhere.
We were, however, pleasantly surprised that W:ET became so popular so quickly, and were frankly astonished to discover that people just kept on playing it. If five years ago you'd told us that in five years' time, thousands of people would still be playing W:ET we'd probably have assumed that you were foaming nuts, or that all new game development was outlawed in late 2003.
What are your thoughts on the "competition" at the moment (i.e., Unreal Tournament 3, Team Fortress 2)?
It's good that there are a bunch of multiplayer shooters out there at the moment, and it's cool that they're all quite distinct. UT feels, looks and plays differently to TF2 which is different to Battlefield, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Halo, Crysis, Counter-Strike etc. They're all good games, they all appeal in different ways to different gamers: the variety is good and the competition is even better. Competition is good for gamers, it's good for the genre, it's good for us.
I'd like to thank Ed Stern for the interview, and Steve Hessel for getting me in touch with the team at Splash Damage.

People have different preferences when it comes to a big school and a small school. Things such as the population and the actual size of the campus can greatly affect a person's first college experience. However, there are a couple of hidden things that you may not think of at first when you're visiting a school and how it may affect you in the long run. If you're having a little bit of trouble, here are a couple of factors you should think about when picking a certain sized school.
1. Resources for financial aid
Going to a big, public school, I've started to learn the ins and outs of financial aid. I always fill out the FAFSA, but there are other opportunities such as grants and scholarships related to the university, college, and major I'm in. There are even opportunities when it comes to community service and of course, getting a certain GPA both in the school and in the major. When it comes to big schools, they need to have enough money to accommodate more people. Therefore, they need to have offer as many opportunities as possible. However, when it comes to small schools, since you may have a smaller population, they may take your case in particular, into consideration. They may be able to care about each and every person and therefore, they may be able to offer you certain resources in order to help you out.
2. Housing: Options vs. Community
When it comes picking housing, the more options, the better for some people. Going to a big school can mean having a ton of options both on campus and off campus. That can include the style of the room, where it's located and how many people it can accommodate. On campus and off campus housing will need to have enough room to make sure everyone has a place to live. However, on a small campus, there are fewer options due to a smaller population. That can be a good thing, however. That can mean building a better community and getting to know everyone that you're sharing a space with, whether it's in a dorm or an apartment. Having that community based housing can really make someone's living experience in college and make someone feel at home.
3. Class availability
Another place where more options can be a good thing is scheduling for classes. If you're going to a big school and you need to take a required class such as Psychology 101 or Algebra, it's likely that you'll have a chance to take it. For some classes, there might be 20 different options all throughout the day, so you probably won't have to worry about some classes not working with your schedule. For smaller schools, there may be a chance that there's only one time to take a class during that semester. However, that ends up being an advantage because if you want to take a class with a friend, you'll get to be in the same class together. Also, if it's only available once a year, some professors may be more willing to let you into the only section of that class if you happen to be in your last year and need it to graduate. If the class is widely available and has 15 sections, then they might not be as nice and will simply say to find another section, even if there isn't one that works for you.
Hopefully this list helps you out with deciding on a big school or small school. Although these aren't things that people think about when they're first visiting a school, these are just some things I've learned that are very different when I talk about my school and compare it to my friend's schools. All of these are reoccurring, so it's good to think about these and whether they will work for you at the beginning and end of your college career.

Holidays are the best, and I guess I had my fair dose this month which was heavily needed. It's time to roll up those sleeves (literally!), and look forward to the best season that's lurking around the corner, no more holiday blues here no.
It's incredible how escapes and sunny rays lift your mood, and recharge your inspiration batteries.
As for outfits ahead, I could pretty much live in this one all through the coming season, tailored relaxing separates and a pair of luxury slides, pretty much sum up my summer 2014 before it actually began.

Dragon Rampage, a competitive fantasy game by Richard Launius, is a strategic dice game for 3 to 5 players. Each player takes the role of one of the adventurers (all with different abilities) and the goal is to score the most points at the end of the game by fighting against or running from (or some combination of the two) the dragon you just woke up, and tallying up the treasure and gold you obtain in the dungeon. Players roll seven specially designed dice and choose whether to focus on grabbing treasure (from the dragon or from another player), fighting the dragon, protecting themselves (and their treasure), or running for the exit. Try not to draw the dragon's attention as you make your way, and note that your fellow adventurers may hinder (or aid) you in your strategy and the final scoring varies depending on how the game ends, so watch your step!

A Maori flag captured in an 1865 battle and held in a Hawick museum collection is being returned to New Zealand.
The repatriation of the flag was unanimously approved by Scottish Borders Council last year following an official approach from Mike Spedding, director of the Wairoa Museum in Hawke's Bay on New Zealand's North Island.
Mr Spedding's request was made on behalf of descendants of noted Maori leaders involved in the Battle of Omaruhakeke.
It was accompanied by letters from descendants, including a fourth-generation descendant of Ihaka Whaanga, a Maori leader who fought alongside the crown forces and is said to have captured the flag.
Scottish Borders Council and Live Borders held a ceremony on Wednesday at Hawick Museum to hand the flag over to one of the Maoris' descendants, Nigel William How, and he said: "We live in a time where the ghosts of the past are now being laid to rest through the Treaty of Waitangi settlement process.
"This is not only between crown and Maori in general, but also between Maoris ourselves in acknowledging and embracing the different decisions and actions our ancestors undertook.
"Genuine resolution of all these matters has been a long time coming."
The flag was donated to Hawick Museum in 1921 by local artist Tom Scott, having been presented to him by the secretary at Government House in Hawke's Bay.
The reasons for the flag's presentation to Mr Scott, and for his gifting of it to Hawick Museum, are unknown.
Following the approach by Wairoa Museum, councillors agreed that there was no good reason, apart from Mr Scott's connection to Hawick and the Scottish Borders, for the flag to be part of the local museum collection.
Selkirkshire councillor Vicky Davidson, the authority's executive member for culture, sport, youth and communities, said: "The decision to repatriate the flag to New Zealand was taken following careful consideration by the council, whose elected members felt that the social, political and spiritual case was strong.
"The descendants of those involved in the 1865 battle, whose letters formed part of the repatriation request, believe it will be a powerful symbol in resolving long-standing grievances between the crown and Maori, and between Maoris themselves."
"We have been assured that the flag will be carefully conserved, displayed and interpreted as the centrepiece of a newly refurbished gallery at Wairoa Museum and are pleased that it will be available for the whole community to enjoy there."

Gaming in Stereo: Rocking the Asphalt Edition
It has been a while since I have posted this article, with E3 and other crazy commotion afoot, it was hard to sit down and listen to some tracks to present. With EVO 2013 coming around the corner (July 12th-14th) I though it would be interesting to hit some of the music from a couple of the games present at this years championship. Today we are listening to a track from Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition and two tracks from Street Fighter X Tekken. For those that don't know EVO is the fighting game tournament to end all tournaments. It is held in Las Vegas and pulls fighting fans from around the globe to compete in several fighting games. I think I have spent more money on the Street Fighter franchise this generation than any other franchise. I bought Street Fighter IV, when it was released. Then one Super Street Fighter IV was released, I traded in IV to get Super. Once the 3DS was released I bought Super Street Fighter IV: 3D edition so I can have some asphalt rocking on the go. Then I traded in Super to get the pack that would sit on my shelf in all its glory, the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collectors set that would include Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Street Fighter X Tekken among others. It also came with 11 CD's worth of music from the Street Fighter series, which I am sharing with you today.
Theme of Ryu – Hideyuki Fukasawa – Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade edition
One of the most iconic tracks from the Street Fighter series has been Ryu. A personal favorite, the driving beat gets the blood pumping. One of things I must commend Capcom for is the way they keep making these iconic tunes turn it up a notch. Sadly the tune only clocks in under 2 minutes but the way the bass drives the melody is uncanny. The breakdown at the (1:24) mark is by far my highlight of the track as it brakes the melody an reintroduces the bass line.
Main Menu Theme – Capcom – Street Fighter X Tekken
When these two famed fighting franchises collided it was interesting to see how the game played and how the music would line up. Tekken is more about timing punches, kicks, and grapples; while Street Fighter tends to have a more over the top, super move feel. The two feel similar in soundtracks, with most recent entries hitting very hard in the electric, high energy side of things. This main menu track is no different. It is full of the high pitch Capcom flair, and has a pulsating beat to get you pumped to see these two classic franchises collide. The Street Fighter IV art style fit the Tekken characters greater then anyone could imagine. The above image is one my Tekken favorite Jin as he appears in the crossover.
Vs. Rival Battle SF Arrange 2 – Capcom – Street Fighter X Tekken
As a bonus track I went flipping through the 2 discs for the Street Fighter X Tekken soundtrack and came across this track. Its initial beat had me hooked and is a variation of the Street Fighter title track. I love the bass guitar that enters in at (0:06) to drive along the electronic melody until the familiar Street Fighter theme takes over at (0:19). At (1:33) the beat that drove me to this mix returns and is my favorite part of this track. Enjoy.

The new global slave trade: anti-trafficking author Victor Malarek in Australia this month
There are some books which chill you to the core.
The Natashas: Inside the new global sex trade (Arcade, NY, 2003) by award-winning Canadian journalist Victor Malarek is one such book. A brutal expose of the lucrative trade in the flesh of women and girls from Eastern Europe, The Natashas is a testament to human cruelty in its most extreme forms. This scathing indictment demonstrates how the 21st century version of slavery is alive and well, thanks to the demand of men and institutionalised corruption. Young girls plucked from overflowing orphanages and sold into the trade; young women lured with promises of jobs or kidnapped and 'broken in' in slave camps in Kosovo and Serbia, killed if they refuse to comply; systemic complicity by police, local officials and governments.
Senior investigative reporter on CTV's award winning investigative current affairs show W5, Victor Malarek has written a follow-up, titled The Johns: Sex for Sale and the men who buy it (Arcade, NY, 2009) which goes to the heart of the problem: demand. The insatiable demand of men for the bodies of women; men who care nothing for these women's rights or dignity, for where they have come from and where they might end up. He describes this exploitation as "one of the most overlooked human rights abuses on the planet today".
The Salvos and Collective Shout: for a world free of sexploitation, are hosting the following events with Victor Malarek as guest speaker. Salvos Social Justice Director Danielle Strikland will also speak and I'll be MC.

Emaciated Model Alert: Bar Rafaeli Tweets Warning About Scary Skinny Teen Models!
Hey BFFs — New York Fashion Week — the site previous years of outrage over skeletal models on the runways — is just around the corner.
Is that why Leo DiCaprio's on-again girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, 25, tweeted moemnts ago on Aug. 30, "I get so sad when I see 15-year-old pale extremely skinny models at the agency looking all shaky and hungry…. when will it end?!?!?
We're assuming Bar is referring to the model agency that reps her — One Management in NYC and that the 15-year-old skinny models are starving in preparation of their booking appointments with different designers — hoping to land runway spots.
Yay to you Bar for speaking out against the scary skinnyness that sadly still rules too many runways — god knows why. Neither women — who are supposed to buy the clothes — nor men — like that shaky, hungry look.
Bar's tweets are repeatedly outspoken about the dangers of plastic surgery, drugs, alcohol and unhealthy living, "Some people are addicted to drugs and others addicted to alcohol. Me? I'm addicted to pomegranate juice," she tweeted yesterday.
"Seriously… plastic surgery is not helping your impact on young women or your looks," she also pointed out.
As for the Fashion World. How about your addiction to pin thin? Can we check you into rehab?

Apparently the Carrie Furnace may be haunted by more than the historical memory of a cherished regional identity — staff members have reported strange sights, and Ghosts n'at Paranormal Adventures (an apparition expedition crew) claims to have documented paranormal activity. Now Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango and Brett McGinnis of the popular SyFy show Ghost Hunters have agreed to visit the old mill to look for ghosts. The public is invited to tag along for the hunt, followed by a lecture and a Q&A session. [Ohio Street, Rankin; Oct. 2; ghostsnat.com] — Eric Lidji

Society for Contemporary Craft, Through March 12/ This thought-provoking show, Mindful: Exploring Mental Health Through Art, demonstrates Society for Contemporary Craft's emerging commitment to explore serious issues and push the boundaries and horizons of craft and art — as it did in 2014 with "Enough Violence: Artists Speak Out." Through the forum of "Mindful," the pain and challenges of mental illness for the individual and society are explored through more than 40 works created by 14 contemporary artists in a wide variety of media. "Mindful" includes the exhibition as well as a series of programs and events with a goal of breaking down stigmas and inspiring understanding.

Cultural District, Through Dec. 31/ Big, culturally rich and often viewed as exotic and mysterious by Westerners, an ancient Asian land is celebrated through the lens of Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's India in Focus. Dance and music performances as well as visual-art exhibitions are among the highlights of this major event with several participating venues downtown.

Frick Art Museum, Oct. 3-Jan. 10/ Forbidden Fruit: Chris Antemann at Meissen breaks the mold, so to speak, when it comes to reinventing a distinguished tradition in porcelain. Antemann, who grew up in Johnstown, spent several years working at Germany's famous Meissen porcelain manufacturing facility. Putting a new twist on rococo traditions, she creates fresh porcelain fantasies that pay homage to the past but add new dimensions to iconic subjects such as flirtation and seduction and even traditional gender roles. As a complement to the show, Antemann is curating a mini-exhibit of porcelain that she selected from the Frick's permanent collection. It will be displayed in the 18th-century French salon period room, open for the first time since 2003.

Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, Ongoing/ A new place, more space, an inaugural event and a special exhibit are among the reasons to visit the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh this month. The new facility, which opened in August, provides greater opportunities for the center to serve its mission as "a living memorial and a comprehensive resource center to convey the contemporary relevance of the atrocities of the Holocaust and its lessons." The public grand opening is set for 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18 and will include the premiere of "In Celebration of Life: Living Legacy Project," a special show honoring the region's survivors of the Holocaust.

PNC Broadway Across America, Oct. 27 – Nov. 1/ You may be a bigger Carole King fan than you realize. Long before the 1971 release of "Tapestry," her breakthrough solo album as a singer/songwriter featuring such pop classics as "It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move," King had written or co-written dozens of Billboard chart toppers made famous by other recording artists. Among them: "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" "Up on the Roof," "One Fine Day" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." Nominated for multiple honors and winner of the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical will amaze you with the story of how a teenage, piano-playing prodigy of the 1950s evolved into America's first female songwriting megastar. [Benedum Center, 237 Seventh St., downtown; 412/456-4800, trustarts.org]
City Theatre Company, Oct. 10 – Nov. 1 and Oct. 3-4/ In Conor McPherson's riveting drama, The Night Alive, divorced dad Tommy has little time — or means — for heroics. Barely scraping by as a handyman, he's also the sometime keeper of his hapless (and borderline homeless) helper, Doc. And yet, when Tommy reaches out to a bloodied young woman on a routine trip to buy chips, her broken life and violent boyfriend provide an unlikely route to redemption. Also: don't forget to catch the public performances of the Young Playwrights Festival Oct. 3 and 4 at City Theatre. More than 350 local budding middle and high school-aged dramatists submitted plays, and only three from each age group were selected. [City Theatre, 1300 Bingham St., South Side; 412/431-2489, citytheatrecompany.org]
Pitt Theatre Arts, Oct. 22 – Nov. 1/ Real and online worlds share the stage en route to a high-stake collision in the haunting area premiere of Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Alegria Hudes, winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Disabled Iraqi veteran Elliot struggles with the ghosts that hound him from the war to build a productive life. Meanwhile his estranged birth mother Odessa — a recovering crack abuser — serves as the unifying force in an online support group for fellow addicts. When the aunt who raised him dies of cancer, Elliot's haywire grief and resentment wreak new havoc on already embattled lives. Actual and cyber "family" cross over to help mend the gashes.

Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Oct. 23-25/ Jirí Kylián's Sinfonietta (1978), a fluid and romantic modern ballet for seven couples, derives inspiration from composer Leos Janácek's score. It highlights a triple bill that includes William Forsythe's "In the middle, somewhat elevated" (1987), a minimalist work for nine set to pulsating electronic music, and George Balanchine's paean to the Old West — "Western Symphony" (1954).

Nrityagram Dance Ensemble, Oct. 3/ The internationally lauded troupe from Bangalore, India, presents Samyoga: An Ode to Love, an exploration of love from the male and female perspectives. Known for infusing the sculpture-inspired Odissi dance form with contemporary interpretations, leading dancers Surupa Sen and Bijayini Satpathy embody gods and mortals to live vocal and instrumental accompaniment. [Byham Theater, 101 Sixth St., downtown; 412/456-6666, trustarts.org]
Hillman Performing Arts Series, Oct. 17/ Grammy-winning musicians and an all-star troupe of street and contemporary dancers celebrate the artistic legacy of the moon-walking Michael Jackson, who died in 2009, in King Michael: A Glorious Tribute to the King of Pop. This multimedia extravaganza that emulates his unique musical and superb dance talents includes performances of his chart-toppers "Billie Jean," "Thriller" and "Beat It."

The creators of Breaking Bad are really patient. Some of production team's finer details seem innocuous at first, but like a sniper they'll wait until just the right moment to blow your mind. Above, you can see a frantic Walt rolling his money barrell in season five. It's such a harrowing episode that you'd be forgiven for missing what's going on in the foreground. It's just a pair of khakis blowing by, like a Salvation Army tumbleweed. Pretty random, right? If you were watching Friday the 13th XII: Ernest Goes to Camp Crystal Lake and saw an Arby's bag float behind Jason just before he guts a teen, you'd probably chalk that up to the rich world-building that the series is known for. But that's not how Breaking Bad works. Let's flash back to the opening minutes of the very first episode of season one:
Yep, those are the same pants, thrown with wild abandon by a mustachioed Walter "Danger" White during his initial meth-fueled adventure. He leaves the pants in the dust, so to speak, presumably so one day they could roll in front of the camera and symbolize how far Walt has come while also staying in the same place.
But hey, it could be a coincidence. It's not like anyone would go as far as to directly reference a minor detail several years beforehand. Then again, the director of the episode did tweet out this behind-the-scenes photo.
The people responsible for Breaking Bad don't do anything by accident. That's why you should never second guess yourself when you see something like...
In season four, Jesse visits the hospital because his surrogate son Brock has been secretly poisoned by Hal from Malcolm in the Middle. It looks like a well-scouted location, but that tile floor seems a touch conspicuous. If you're reading this article, you definitely recognize the significance of two adjacent green squares.
The creators say this was accidental, that the symbol of their show just "happened" to appear in clear view of the camera. Like we're supposed to believe that from the people who gave us this:
When it comes to a show with so many easter eggs, it becomes hard to separate the intentional from the imaginary. Bear with me on this next one.
Oh Gale, that poor goofy bastard. Granted, he sort of signed on for cooking meth and the danger that entails, but the writers ensured that his death was little more than a vehicle for Walt and especially Jesse's struggle with guilt. That inner-strife permeates the rest of the series, even in subliminal details.
You can see it when Jesse's playing a video game with a plastic gun. It sort of plays out like a hammy advertisement for the long-forgotten Rage, but it also shows that Jesse is still having trouble wrestling with his sins. At one point, the in-game character turns the corner and you stare at this for a good second:
Flip that illegible graffiti around in a mirror and it clearly says "GALE" -- which would fit with the current the mindset of Jesse, who is punishing himself by re-living his biggest mistake, over and over again. And you know, playing Rage.
I know that sounds like a stretch, but check out Lydia's office:
Don't tell me that the name of the corporation "MadriGAL Electromotive GmbH" was painted on without any thought as to the most visible letters. Seriously, if this was an accident I would like to remain ignorant of any information to the contrary.
I've only been able to find two clear instances of "Gale" written backwards, but there's gotta be more, right? These things are like untimely deaths of celebrities or underwhelming movie franchises that unnecessarily stretch out a short fantasy novel -- they always come in threes. It's to the point where I'm seeing the letters everywhere, even in a shot like this:
Doesn't it look like "Gale" is spelled backwards with the cigarettes in the ashtray? It kind of looks like it's suggesting a hint that could resemble an implication of Gale. Right?
Alright, fine. Let's move on to the real stuff.

Dear Disability Stakeholders,
On September 1, 2016, the Independent Living Administration under the Administration for Community Living which is located in the federal Department of Health & Human Services has reviewed and approved Illinois' State Plan for Independent Living (SPIL) for 2017-2019 with no revisions required.
During this SPIL cycle, the Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC), Centers for Independent Living and the Designated State Entity (DSE) which is the Department of Rehabilitation Services in the Illinois Department of Human Services are responsible for ensuring the SPIL assurances and activities are as outlined in the SPIL and all federal requirements.
As you most of you know, the development process took over a year to complete and involved hundreds of disability advocates and organizations. Fortunately, the process worked allowing individuals and groups to have a variety of opportunities to provide input and guidance.
Due to the hard work of all of our stakeholders, Illinois was able to develop and get approved an outstanding plan that will work toward improving the quality of life for people with disabilities in Illinois. This would not have been possible without the contribution of each and every one of you made. On behalf of the SILC, we want to express our appreciation, gratitude and thanks for your contributions.

If you are a member of the human race then you will experience difficulty. You will experience suffering, sickness, loss and heart ache. There will be nights so dark that even the stars seem to stop shining. And these difficulties will include conflict with other people: neighbours, colleagues, friends, family, strangers – whoever it is, conflict will come.
How do we respond?
In the last couple of posts I've talked about dealing with anxiety and finding contentment, about finding peace in our personal life. How do we find this peace when other people are involved? How do we respond when the issue isn't impersonal circumstances but aggressive persons?
Kathryn Kuhlman, in a television address in the '70s, turns to 2 Kings 6 and the story of Elisha. The Syrian King, an enemy of Elisha and his nation of Israel, sends an entire army to capture Elisha. This army surround the town Elisha and his servant are in with horses and chariots – the heavy artillery of the day. There is no way out. Many of us will know situations that feel like this. Unfairly, perhaps even due to our obedience of God, we find ourselves confronted by adversaries who have overwhelming force. Maybe at work, in the community, in school or at home, there are people coming against us who have power we cannot tackle – they are simply stronger than us. How do we respond?
Elisha's servant responds with fear. It's natural. We can see only two ways to get out of a mess like this. Either we escape or we win. Our fear can lead to withdrawal (I have to get away!), aggression (You're going down!) or despair (There's no way out!). However our fear expresses itself each of these responses leads to a breakdown of relationship. We've been there, done that, or at least seen it before at different degrees of severity. Even winning the contest leaves a hollow feel, especially when the one we beat is a loved one or friend.
Yet Elisha finds a different way to respond. If you skip to the end of the story we find the Syrian army celebrating a feast with their enemies the Israelites and we read that there was a lasting reconciliation – "the Syrians did not come again on raids into the land of Israel."
What makes the difference? Here are a few thoughts…
Elisha sees differently
If you hear only one thing from this message, hear this: The presence of God is not a theory, it is a fact.
These are the words of Kathryn Kuhlman. These words are true. These words change everything.
Elisha prays for God to open his servant's eyes. When he does the servant sees that "the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." When we know that God is present we become free to act differently. Often we feel in conflict situations like we are forced to react defensively or aggressively by the circumstances or people – 'they made me do it'. Yet the reality is that when our Father God is present we are 'more than conquerors' through his love – we are safe and secure enough to choose for ourselves how we want to react.
How do we choose how to react? We either let the circumstances shape us or we let God do it. Jesus taught us to pray 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven". What is the will of the Father? It is to see peace, reconciliation, unity come. The picture of heaven is the picture of a feast as every people from every tribe and tongue celebrate together. A picture not dissimilar to the end of this story…so what does Elisha's reactions look like?
Elisha first reacts with prayer
As with choosing not to be anxious, choosing not to be the victim does not come from a denial of the challenge or conflict. Rather it comes from giving the conflict to God. Elisha prays that God would make the enemy army blind. In other words, he prays that God would step in so they could not do what they are planning to do. Rather than taking the matter into his own hands, Elisha places it in God's.
Elisha walks with his enemies
As God begins to move, Elisha has an opportunity to escape. He could run from the conflict. There is a way out. Yet he decides to walk with his enemies, leading them to the very place where reconciliation needs to happen – to the capital of Israel. Now, please note that God has already moved to remove the immediate danger from Elisha. I'm not saying here that we should remain in a situation where we are actively being hurt – like an abusive relationship. If God provides a way out then step out of the abuse, out of the place or hurt. The question is: what is our heart when our enemies have been weakened? Elisha doesn't leave them in weakness, but walks them to a place of greater reconciliation. Are we willing to maintain relationship in whatever way God guides as he leads us to?
Elisha chooses to bless not beat
Elisha finds himself with this captured enemy army under his power. He is now in the place of influence and here we see his heart shine through. Rather than beating them, he chooses to bless. Not only that, but he draws others to join that blessing. Elisha calls the King of Israel to feast their one time enemies. In this place of blessing rather than beating, Elisha now draws others into reconciliation. Having chosen to walk the way of peace rather than fear, he finds himself with an opportunity to bring peace in the wider community.
When we recognise the presence of God in conflicts we recognise an opportunity to respond differently. Rather than defending ourselves we can live for Him. Our actions can be shaped not by fear, but by love. First we hand over the problem to God in prayer. When he moves we have a choice to cut contact, maintain relationship – to reconcile in our own part to our enemies and continue to walk with them. As we walk with them an opportunity may come to draw others into reconciliation depending on whether we are willing to choose to bless rather than beat.
How will we respond?

Children and Youth
This is an important part of the ministry of our church. Our goal is the integration of our youth more fully into the life of the church, both into the worshipping community and into the social side of life, as participants and leaders. Our various Sunday Club groups for young people run alongside the main services and are segmented by age. In addition, we run some activities during the week.
A Youth Leader was appointed to work across the chaplaincy on a part-time basis from September 2014, with the aim to understand the issues they are facing and to support them in their journey of faith and growth. He is working with our young people generally from ten years old upwards, especially through three groups: Sherbert for the older youth, SAS for the 10-14s and Chatfaith, the older youth in Divonne, also for preparations for Communion.
We are looking for a new youth worker! Check the advert here.

If your clients' children are heading to college soon, it's time to start considering 529 withdrawal strategies. Here are three important issues you'll want to cover:
1. How much to withdraw
I generally recommend that 529 account owners lock in their tax benefit by taking the maximum amount from their accounts that will qualify for tax-free treatment. If the account owner tells me they would prefer to withdraw less than the maximum amount this year so they can spread the money over the college years, I will suggest they still withdraw the maximum, and follow it up by making new contributions into the 529. This way they end up with a higher tax basis in the account, and perhaps additional state tax deductions.
How much is the maximum tax-free withdrawal? For most parents, it will be 100% of the beneficiary's qualified higher education expenses paid this year—tuition, fees, books, supplies, equipment, and room and board—less $4,000. The $4,000 is redirected to the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), which based on a formula is worth up to $2,500 in federal tax savings.
If the account owner neglects to make the $4,000 adjustment and withdraws 529 money equivalent to 100% of eligible expenses, the likely result is a $4,000 non-qualified distribution from the 529 plan. The earnings portion of the non-qualified distribution will be reportable as ordinary income, but the 10 percent penalty on earnings is waived.
Of course, if income phase-outs prevent the taxpayer from claiming the AOTC, the $4,000 adjustment need not be made. Another reason for NOT making the $4,000 adjustment is where doing so will lead to a leftover balance in the 529 plan once college is completed. Better to pay the tax now with no penalty, than to pay it in the future plus a 10 percent penalty.
2. When to withdraw it
Take withdrawals in the same calendar year that the qualified expenses were paid. It doesn't matter if funds are withdrawn in January for expenses that are not paid until August. Or if the withdrawal occurs in December for expenses previously paid during that year. Just make sure they match up within the same calendar year.
The IRS is considering new rules that would offer a little additional flexibility across the calendar year divide, but thus far has not finalized those proposals.
Towards year-end, 529 account owners should sit down and figure out exactly how much was spent on qualified expenses during the year and make the appropriate "catch-up" distribution from the 529 plan. As part of this process, determine if the AOTC is maximized by paying second semester college bills in December versus January.
Just don't wait until the last day of the year to go through this exercise. The 529 plan administrator must be given sufficient lead time to process the distribution request in the current calendar year.

Finally. Apple is live streaming a media event. Forget about reading live blogs. You can watch the Steve Jobs show live today at 10am PCT
I am calling for Apple to finally live stream their media events since the last couple of years. Today, Apple is finally doing it. Apple announced to http live stream the the September 1 event starting today at 10 am PDT.
Apple says that the stream is based on open standards, but you are required to have a Mac running Safari on Mac OS X 10.6. You can also watch the event on the iPhone, iPod touch and on the iPad.
Why Apple is just now deciding to stream live is unclear. It could be related to what Apple is presenting today. Rumors say that Apple is unveiling a streaming offering inside iTunes for TV Shows. I do not really care. I am just pleased that Apple live streaming the event.
There might also be a musical treat at the end. Rumors talk about Lady Gaga making an appearance on stage today.
The live stream will be available on the Apple site. The announcement would exclude Windows PCs from viewing the stream. Will see later if this is really the case.

You arrive at a city. You're confused by the ticket-eating machines at the train stops and the backwards spiderwebs of the transit lines. On a sweaty day, you drink in the graffiti in bustling alleyways and notice the cobblestones. The clocks tick above a main station and in the middle of summer's busiest night downtown, you slip away from a group of friends and into an echoing church. Is this the first time you've been in a church? It might be. It's pretty enough to earn it.
You fall into the steady pace of a job. You get to know the regulars' names. The always-smiling Greek chef teaches you to say dirty things in a different language. You never get enough sleep, but you always enjoy the sunrise when you walk to the station. It's the clearest part of your day.
Winter sets in. You know which train to catch and when to run so you won't miss it. You give people directions without hesitation. Cheap drinks are there. Trivia night is on Tuesdays. You know that every single Friday night, without fail, no matter what has happened the past week, you will laugh and dance and run with the friends who have become your family in the past year. On Monday mornings, you and your hungover coworkers point out which charming customers you'll marry for visas.
But time continues on. Winter is cold and it bites at your fingers. One friend leaves, then another. You start traversing the travel section of Pinterest again, and you notice your backpack in your closet every time you open it. You become restless with the same routine, simultaneously loving it and bored by it, seeking its comfort and pushing its boundaries.
You know that you'll go. It's time for a new adventure again. But what of all the people you've met or the ease with which you sink into your busy living room at home? The boy that's tripped into your life? That Greek lady that calls you names, or the everchanging community of couchsurfers?
Travel means so many good things, but it means goodbyes as well. They never get easier. It's easy to stumble over that thought, to wonder whether you're doing the right thing, if you'll ever stay in a place longer than 8 months. But you've soaked this city in and you love it. The people and the places will make cosy memories. You can return, but remaining here now would feel like overstaying your welcome, stretching beyond the confines of your space. For now, you need sunshine and train rides going the wrong way. You need tide pools and bike rides. You need to remind yourself that you can start all over again, from the wonder of fresh sights and the laughs of new people to nailing the ins and outs of a confusing job.
So you mark a day in the calendar and start to plan again.

During the heyday of classical Greece, the city of Helike was the renowned cult centre for worship of Poseidon, the god of the sea and of earthquakes.
Ironically, on a winter night in 373 BC, a violent earthquake and seismic sea-wave (tsunami) destroyed and submerged the city.
At the time of its destruction, Helike was capital of a con federation of city states on the southern shores of the Gulf of Corinth, and was probably located southeast of the modern city of Aigion, roughly 150 kilometres west of Athens. Its precise location has long been the subject of debate among historians and archaeologists.
Ancient writers were insistent that the city lay off limits beneath the waters of the Corinthian gulf, but modern marine surveys had repeatedly failed to locate it there. Last week came the news that ruins of ancient Helike had been uncovered onshore, three to four metres beneath the mud and gravel of the Aigion coastal plain.
There was perhaps forewarning that an earthquake was about to strike Helike, but not of its scale. Writing in the 2nd-3rd century AD, Aelian described how five days before the earthquake, all the animals had left the city en masse, much to the puzzled amusement of the local people.
Ancient writers record that the earthquake which struck in the night destroyed every single building in the city and that with the receding waters of the tsunami, which came with the dawn, Helike was dragged down along with every living person, the foundations of the city lost forever.
Until, that is, excavations this summer. The possible discovery of Helike was announced formally last week by Dr Dora Katsonopoulou, a Greek archaeologist, and Dr Steven Soter, an astrophysicist from the American Museum of Natural History. Their discovery was no accident. The locations of the excavations had been carefully targeted following 12 years of subsurface probing by boreholes and geophysical imaging (radar and magnetometry) by Soter and Katsonopoulou.
Nevertheless, the nature of the finds still took both by surprise. In the most important excavation, ruined walls and building foundations were found buried below thick deposits of black peat and lagoonal and marine muds. The discovery of these ruins entombed in a mixed blanket of terrestrial, brackish and marine sediments is certainly consistent with a classical city engulfed by a tsunami.
However, the excitement is tempered by the realisation that only a few square metres of the wide coastal plain has so far been excavated.
For archaeologists, the prize is that, given the nature of Helike's demise, the resurrected city may provide an unplundered, unmodified "time capsule" from the classical era. Its shallow onshore location may allow the greater part of the city to be excavated, giving Greece its very own Pompeii.
For earthquake geologists, Helike offers a different prize. For us, the city is fossilised result of a scale of seismic event that we know can strike the earthquake-prone shores of the Aegean region but for which we have no modern analogue.
Killer earthquakes struck the Aigion shores in 1861 and 1995, but while they caused widespread coastal submergence and some loss of life, neither of them were of the enormity of the 373 BC event.
So how often do such catastrophic sea-quakes occur in this region?
In the early 1990s, I first went to the Helike area with that question in mind. As part of a Royal-Society-funded honeymoon I studied the earthquake fault that ruptured in 1861, and from raised shorelines along the Helike coast I suggested that the same fault probably moved violently around the time of the 373 BC event.
In 1995, I turned my attention 100 kilometres northwards to another earthquake-prone coast - the Gulf of Atalanti. Here, with two research students (Vik Buck and Thomas Dewez), and in collaboration with Stella Kortekaas (Coventry University) and Andy Cundy (now at the University of Sussex), we investigated the effects of coastal flooding triggered by a damaging earthquake and tsunami in 1894.
We were able to detect signs of this seismic disturbance in the modern marsh sediments, so Soter and Katsonopoulou were interested in whether we could detect the older but much larger Helike inundation event.
This summer, funded by Brunel University and an EU project investigating long-term seismic hazard in the Gulf of Corinth, I returned to Helike. I was joined by Thomas, Andy and a new Brunel colleague Suzanne Leroy, professor in palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Working alongside Soter and Katsonopoulou, our task was to drill shallow boreholes in a suspected former lake bed. For the archaeologists, the lake was potentially the sacred grove of Poseidon for which ancient Helike was famed.
For us, the site lay a few tens of metres from the Helike fault, which we suspected had ruptured during the 373 BC earthquake, and therefore the lake may preserve an archive of that past earthquake activity. However, the freshly recovered sediment cores have yet to reveal their story.
U ndoubtedly the most popular aspect of the Helike discovery will be its association with the Atlantis legend. The story of Atlantis is first recorded by the Athenian philosopher Plato, writing in the mid-fourth century BC.
Plato would have been in his early 50s when the 373 BC earthquake obliterated the thriving city of Helike, and the tragedy would have been reminiscent of a similar catastrophic event that struck mainland Greece around the time of his birth.
In 426 BC, a major earthquake caused widespread seismic destruction and tsunami inundation around the Gulf of Evvia, including, in the Gulf of Atalanti, the reported separation of Atalanti Island from the mainland.
In his "dialogue" Timaeus, Plato recounts how "there occurred violent earthquakes and floods" and then, in one awful day and night "the island of Atlantis _disappeared in the depths of the sea." The parallels between Plato's Atlantis and the 373 BC and 426 BC earthquakes are enticing, particularly given that even after two and a half millenia of notable historical seismicity in Greece, these two earthquakes stand out as particularly catastrophic events. Perhaps the Atlantis legend is the real legacy of Helike.
Iain Stewart is a senior lecturer in geography and earth sciences at Brunel University. His research is in earthquake geology, and he has recently co-edited books on The Archaeology Of Geological Catastrophes and Coastal Tectonics.

There are always exceptions, and you can find automatic watches with a 10 day power reserve, perpetual calendar, and good accuracy in some models of premium brands like Patek Philippe, IWC, etc. Generally, these models are quite expensive, sold as rare complications or among the best watches of each brand.
The way I see it, there is not really any improvement to justify yearly price rises (or each 6 months like Rolex does). You can name Spring-Drive (if you consider it automatic), Co-Axial escapement, and other minor innovations. And yet, most automatic watches around $5000 still have a 3 day power reserve, force you to manually change the date, and the accuracy is not so good.
But they look really good and they are better finished than the cheaper ones. The problem is, I should expect a much better reserve, calendar and accuracy from a $5000 Rolex than from a $500 Seiko. Because the most important thing about a watch is the watch function, not the case. A Ferrari is expected to look really good but to perform accordingly too. It would be crazy to pay for a todays Ferrari that performs like a 50 year old one, just because it looks good outside.
I don't really understand why expensive watches do not offer these "premium" features by default, something that with todays technology should be mandatory. A 50 year old Ferrari was really fast and great for its time, and you paid for that. Why do horology aficionados think is ok to pay that much for 50 year old tech? If you are going to collect old stuff try to get the original old piece, as a Ferrari collector would do.
TLDR: Automatic watch industry is technologically dead, but it seems ok for everybody to pay outrageous amounts of money -conveniently rising each year- for it. Marketing for minor improvements makes possible for buyers to focus discussions justifying what they pay, instead of questioning why they shouldn't get much more for their money.

The Navajo Project
Measuring Emotional Distress and Inflammation before and after a Diné Ceremony
The Diné (Navajo) are an American Indian tribe in Arizona with a population of approximately 250,000. The Navajo Nation is comprised of 110 chapters on the reservation spanning 27,000 square miles. The Diné have a rich history in healing through ceremony and this project is designed to capture clinical indicators which demonstrate the healing impact of a specific ceremonial practices.
Diné Purification Ceremony
The focus of the study was a Purification Ceremony or Chantway that is used by the Diné people to purify people of evil or ugly/unharmonious things. Michelle Kahn-John PhD (DIné) was awarded a grant by the University of Arizona to conduct a pilot study exploring the clinical effects of the purification ceremony on patients with a depression diagnosis. With help from the CSEE she was able to complete 25 ceremonial interventions as of May 4th, 2017. She is currently in the process of analyzing data and aims to have results in late summer 2017.
Program participants were selected based on their clinical diagnosis (specifically symptoms of depression and corresponding/measurable inflammation) and their Diné origin. They are interviewed and provide saliva samples before and after their participation in the ceremony. This pretest-posttest single group design will be used to evaluate an intervention effect. Each participant will serve as their own control. The pretest-posttest will be performed to assess changes in PROMIS ED-D-SF8b scores and concentrations of salivary C-Reactive Protein (CRP) over time, at baseline and 30 days post the Diné ceremony. CRP levels fluctuate over time. Serial collection of CRP, with collection times a few weeks apart, is recommended when monitoring CRP as a marker of inflammation (Deodhar, 1989; van Leeuwen & van Rijswijk, 1994).
Initial Report
"You have no idea how grateful these individuals are for receiving a ceremony that they would not have received without the financial support and guidance provided by this project. I don't know how I can convey their gratitude. The issues they had been dealing with included grief, relationship stressors, physical and psychological illness, loneliness, physical pain, sleep problems, lack of motivation, hopelessness, psychological trauma. A few of these individuals were in such despair during their initial interview and it's amazing to see the hope that was restored through the ceremonial process. Again, it's an honor to do this work and though difficult at times, it's all been worth it to see the progress and hear the responses from the participants"
- Michelle Kahn-John, PhD, APRN, PMHNP-BC, GNP, University of Arizona
From participants:
"I wouldn't have known how to access the help of a medicine person but, I've been told that I need this ceremony, Thank You".
"I really need this and I know it'll help me".
"I was told to have this ceremony years ago but never could find the support to get it done and didn't know who to ask, didn't have a vehicle to go out to find a medicine person".
From Michelle:
" I had a goal to offer 24 ceremonies and we offered 25!! We have stopped recruiting and are now turning away people that are calling us and asking us if we can provide the ceremonial intervention for them. The opportunity to do this work has been quite rewarding. I've gained new insights into aspects of indigenous healing that I wasn't fully aware of. A few highlights include:
- Navajo adults do want to receive Navajo healing ceremonies and they were eager to participate and so very grateful for the ceremony. (we're still getting calls now for people that want to be part of the project and want to receive a ceremony).
- The preliminary survey results are showing some promise and reflect a decrease in emotional distress (30 days post the ceremonial intervention)---needs further analysis to determine actual significance before we can draw any conclusions.
- The following challenges to receiving Dine' ceremonies were cited. Participants stated they "didn't know how to access services offered by a medicine man/woman—they didn't know what questions to ask to access ceremonial interventions" , "the ceremonies are too expensive", "I didn't know that a ceremony could help me with my depression", "I couldn't afford to have a ceremony" and "I didn't have any family support to have the ceremony".
- The inflammatory marker analysis (CRP levels) are pending so, we do not have that data yet.
- I learned that the work of indigenous healers is extensive and complex. The healers have to be physically fit to gather herbs, they have to have phenomenal spiritual strength, they must be compassionate, they also offer authentic/heartfelt prayer and song, they must be wise counselors, they must be able to offer meaningful answers and encouragement when patients have questions, they offer words/prayers/songs of hope and healing (powerful) and they dedicate so much of their personal presence, time and energy to the work of healing. It was quite beautiful to see and watch a healer in action…I now have a greater understanding of the role and responsibilities of a traditional healer.
- We offered a lot of teaching to the participants and their families on the etiquette and traditional protocols of seeking ceremony, ensuring they come with an offering for the medicine man, honoring the 4 days of reverence required after ceremony. We discovered that many of the participants had never received this cultural/ceremonial knowledge or had forgotten these traditional protocols. They were grateful to learn how to access traditional healing.
Now that this project is wrapping up, I hope to submit grant proposals for similar studies and had thoughts about setting up an apprenticeship option for Dine' healers. In offering 25 ceremonies over a 4 month period, we learned it's a perfect opportunity for apprentices to learn about traditional ceremonial healing. I certainly learned so much about this particular ceremony and now now about the many steps involved in the delivery of this ceremony/ritual. The medicine man I worked with suggested the idea to include in the next project, a plan to train interested apprentices. A few ceremonial interventions I'm considering include: Taacheeh (sweatlodge), Dziilth Nataoh (Mountain Tobacco Offering-Ceremony). I am also still pursuing the development of a Resilience Measure for American Indians to assess culturally based strengths and protective factors.
Further analysis of the project and the data collected is underway and, with your support, this program can continue to grow and help restore many customary healing rituals with scientific and medical validation.
Please consider making a contribution to CSEE and be a part of this important work with the Diné community.

I reached a new milestone in my writing career this week--I sent out my very first book query! *SQUEEE!* My book has officially left the nest to try and find its place in the world. It was a lot more nerve-wracking than I anticipated and I definitely felt some nervous jitters as I hit send. But that was nothing compared to the excitement I felt when the confirmation email popped up in my inbox.
My first ten pages are sitting in an agent's inbox right now. Whoa.
Now comes 6-8 weeks of waiting. For me, this is one of the hardest parts of being a writer. Not because I have a hard time being patient, but because I have a really hard time being optimistic. I'm much more of a realist when it comes to things like this. Part of me wants to believe my manuscript can and will be accepted by my number-one agency/agent pick on my first try. But the other part of me thinks, if it took sixty queries for a book like The Help to find success, who am I to think I'll find success right off the bat? Plus, there's this feeling that--besides it being statistically unlikely--it wouldn't be fair. After all, so many amazing authors have had to work incredibly hard to land an agent. Who am I to hope I could nail it on a first try? And isn't it better not to hope for too much, so I won't be disappointed if things don't work out?
But despite all of that, I hope. This time, optimism seems to have taken hold of me. I really, truly hope that this particular agent will choose to represent me. Sure, it might not happen. And that's cool. I'll find another potential agent, send another query, and hope some more. Because I realized something as I waffled between optimism and my perception of reality. Even though it may seem like I'm hoping for too much, what point is there in trying if you don't hope for--and even anticipate--success? If all you hope for and expect is failure, your dream is going to have a super sad existence. And dreams aren't meant to be super sad, pessimistic creatures. It goes against their very nature.
So...make your dream happy. Feed it some hope.

Central Toronto Houses 2015 1st Quarter Report C09
Including: Rosedale, Moore Park
Rosedale and Moore Park had a very strong 1st quarter of 2015. Both sales and prices were up over the same period of time in 2014. House and condo sales were up 33% with 81 homes and condos being sold with the majority happening in the 1st part of the quarter. Prices continued to climb up by 6% but a great deal of this was the % of luxury homes was up and that pushes the average up considerably, but it does prove that the market is very strong in this area. Inventory remains down dramatically falling 29% over last year. I suspect that inventory will continue to be low into 2nd quarter because we saw new listings continue to be down by 3%. Properties continued to sell at 99% of listing and within a month showing again how strong the market is in Rosedale Moore Park
Looks like the area continues to be strong for the sellers and still shows it is a tough market for the buyers. If you are looking to sell your home or condos now is the time. We can never predict in the luxury market how long the homes and condos will remain as strong as they are. The average price for a detached is coming in over 2.4 million, a semi over 1.3 million and condos around $760,000. Condos are selling over asking and houses 98% of asking.
