Gay Essential Review: Paternal Rites at XPOSED International Queer Film Festival
Our childhood experiences shape us into who we are today. But what happens when those who are meant to protect us minimize trauma or damaging behaviour and condition us from infancy to bottle up our emotions when experiencing abuse? This is the question that brilliant film director Jules Rosskam sets out to discover the answer to in his disturbing, but unequivocally essential, must-see motion picture.
Out of all of XPOSED's thrilling and uncanny candidates for this year's edition, Paternal Rites is the most touching, brutal and indispensable. The international queer film festival's heartrending addition allows us access into the troubled world of an abused child and now scarred adult who shyly and desperately seeks help to try and make sense of what happened to him. The movie is depicted from a first-person perspective, putting together a collection of photographs, short videos, audio diaries and memorabilia that take up the entire screen time. The fleeting images are part of a road trip that the Jewish American Rosskam family took in 1974. The four-month journey immerses the viewer in a multicoloured exploration of the past and includes unique representations of a variety of locations from Portland, Vancouver, Chicago, Savannah and Boston.
However, this enticing travelogue footage is by far the film's centrepiece. Of primary concern to both the director and the viewer is the audio. The latter includes a series of discussions between Rosskam, his therapist, partner, as well as several interviews and recorded conversations that the protagonist has with his mother and father. These reveal not only the harrowing story of neglect, abuse and trauma that Jules has been through, but also the ignorance and dismissive attitudes that he has had to face as a result and silently struggle with over the years. The absent paternal figure in Rosskam's life has deeply affected him during his forming years and continues to confuse, dishearten and pain him as a grown adult. His prolonged meetings with his therapist are not enough to bring closure, which is why the young man decides to have a heart-to-heart talk with his dad. During their conversation, it becomes apparent that his parent is not apologetic and does not even recognise the toxic effects that his abusive behaviour has had on his now matured son. Although the dialogue is gut-wrenching to listen to, it poses a question that viewers undoubtedly relate to: how can one overcome trauma and repair a broken relationship with a family member if the latter refuses to acknowledge the abuse and is not accountable for the suffering their actions have caused?
The director also tackles all of the years of self-blame, shame and confusion during which Jules would constantly doubt his perception and try to find explanations or arguments for his parent's unloving behaviour. He would rationalize the abuse with common excuses, including how his father might have been a victim of maltreatment himself, how he was misunderstood or that he could not know any better and did the best he could. These justifications peel off one by one as the movie progresses and the viewer gets a deeper look into the agonizing effects of physical, psychological and sexual abuse.
The film's most glaringly shocking moment is when Rosskam gives his therapist a chilling account about his mother's emotionally abusive behaviour and confesses that until his discussion with a professional he deemed it to be funny and normal. Being traumatized by his father, Jules would be unable to sleep many nights and stay up late crying. When he would go to his mother's room and wake her up to ask her for comfort, she would react aggressively and sarcastically tell him that she can't help him, unless he wants her to smack him over the head and knock him out so he can get some "rest". Jules would end up lying on the hallway floor, crying himself to sleep. As a child, he was also abused and physically assaulted by his troubled brother, Andrew. When he would beg his parents for help, they would do nothing to protect him. However, in a recent conversation between Rosskam and his mother, the woman places the blame on him and claims he should have insisted more on getting help and that he had no evidence. Instances such as these were not uncommon in Rosskam's childhood and the film does a sublime job at showcasing how abuse is played down and cold, abnormal reactions to it are internalized by the victim, leading to self-destructive behavior and self-hatred.
Paternal Rites is gruelling to watch, but nonetheless an eye-opening analysis on human psychology and an essential, riveting addition to this year's XPOSED International Queer Film Festival. The motion picture tackles a wide range of intriguing topics such as memory retrieval and adult coping mechanisms for childhood abuse, but also the importance of expressing repressed feelings and the healing power of filmmaking. Allowing the viewer to draw their own conclusions, Rosskam's first-person project is a slow-burning masterpiece that manages to keep you on the edge of your seat without much visual stimulation, shedding light on the strength and emotional labour it takes to overcome trauma and lead a normal, happy life.

South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has heaped expectations on Kagiso Rabada to take over the mantle as the side's prominent fast bowler.
Dale Steyn turned 35 years old last month and has been plagued by injury issues often consistent with the wear and tear of fast bowling, and the lead of the Proteas bowling attack as since been exchanged between Rabada and Vernon Philander.
Heading to the sub-continent, du Plessis said he would be leaning heavily on 23-year-old Rabada among his bowling weaponry in the two-Test series against Sri Lanka and beyond that.
"Dale has been the spearhead, but I think KG (Rabada) will take over that mantle. He's got the skill, he's got the pace and he's got the control to do well in all conditions around the world.
"I have seen growth in him since the India tour. I think that's what's remarkable about KG, is how quickly he learns. That was his first subcontinent tour and I believe he'll learn from that – the way he's improved his control.
"With his skills, he's got the ability now to swing the ball both ways with a reverse-swinging ball, which is a skill that not a lot of bowlers have. And once again, pace against any subcontinent team is something you want try and expose. We'll have to see to what extent the wicket allows for that.
"It's good to see him bowling quick again after his recent injury. He looks hungry to perform in the series."
With reverse swing bowling the Holy Grail for any Test side, du Plessis maintained that Steyn's future in international cricket wasn't over in his view.
"Dale's X-factor is how he picks up wickets with a reverse-swinging ball. His way of getting wickets with the new ball is getting it to move around a little bit with swing, and a little bit of seam, really consistently," du Plessis said of Steyn.
"But there's a period of the game when Dale gets his tail up. He gets one wicket, and is up there with the most dangerous bowlers in the world."
Steyn claimed match figures of 9-99 the last time out in Galle with a devastating display of in-out swing and is just three Test wickets away from usurping Shaun Pollock as the nation's top wicket-taker with 421.

Detlev Glanert: reviews of Requiem for Hieronymus Bosch
The 500th anniversary of artist Hieronymus Bosch has brought a new Requiem from Detlev Glanert, premiered by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Netherlands Radio Choir in November.
A new Requiem for Hieronymus Bosch, commissioned from Detlev Glanert for the 500th anniversary of the artist, caused an apocalyptic stir in his home town of s'-Hertogenbosch in November, with a further performance in Amsterdam's ZaterdagMatinee series. Markus Stenz marshalled the epic forces in the 75-minute score with massed and lontano voices of the Netherlands Radio Choir, soloists and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
"Detlev Glanert, the RCO's house composer, is one of the most interesting and celebrated living composers in Europe… He is as imaginative in his diverse, compelling and colourful scores as Hieronymus Bosch was with pencil and brush. Like Bosch's Visions of the Afterlife, Glanert depicts both heaven and hell in his Requiem, in which Hieronymus Bosch himself must face Judgement Day. Glanert's aim was to transform the demonic character of Bosch's paintings into music with textual counterparts referencing medieval theology."
Stadsblad 's-Hertogenbosch
"To give his composition structure, Glanert has used not only the fixed movements of the Requiem, but has also combined these with other texts – also in Latin – on the seven deadly sins from the Carmina Burana manuscript… It is an interesting approach and one which is certainly 'Bosch-worthy'… The movements of the Requiem are each preceded by a shout from St Michael the Archangel, the prosecutor who determines whether Bosch may enter heaven, judging him against the seven deadly sins… Glanert wrote compelling music for all…"
De Trouw
"A successful composer of opera, Glanert certainly knows a thing or two about such drama. His idiom is harmonically rich and layered, yet also accessible and often, quite simply, beautiful."
NRC Handelsblad
"…music of an unbelievable tension and intensity…"
Brabants Dagblad
The Staatstheater in Hannover unveils the newly revised version of the composer's one-act chamber opera Leyla und Medjnun in May. Glanert describes how "like all first operas it is bursting out with musical ideas but lacks the technique of an experienced composer, mostly in terms of using the human singing voice, the proportions of dramaturgy, instrumentation and dynamics. I corrected it like a teacher with a student, so that hardly a single page is untouched, but tried to preserve the sense, idea and atmosphere of the 1985 work."

On polling day the last blog from our General Election Series is a guest post from Age UK Sunderland. It charts their journey from the Age UK Rally in London to their local hustings in Sunderland.
For us here at Age UK Sunderland, the run up to the General Election has been hectic – we've been involved in national campaigns, and things a little closer to home, all with the aim of making sure whoever represents us in the next Parliament helps to make this a great place to grow older.
Our election journey really began on a chilly morning in late March, when I, and five older people, boarded the 6.45am train to London from Sunderland.
Age UK Rally
We spent the day at Age UK's Rally – along with 250 older people – listening to representatives from the five main political parties and explaining how they would improve the lot of older people if they were successful on polling day.
It was a unique opportunity to get our points across – two of our contingent posed their questions to the speakers, whilst another spent her lunch break chatting with one of the speakers about the issues which are hitting older people hardest.
The sense of purpose in the room was palpable – the conversations didn't stop over the breaks, and we gained as much from chatting with our fellow activists and peers, as we did from hearing from the speakers.
Local hustings event
We returned to Sunderland pleased to have been lucky enough to attend the rally and be directly involved- but for me, our day in London was only the beginning.
Two weeks later we held a local hustings event, which saw the five main parties' candidates field questions from a more intimate group of 20 local people.
A whole range of issues were discussed: from universal benefits for older people, to the state of health and social care for those in later life.
BBC Look North sent a representative to ask the audience 'is it worth voting at the Election?' This sparked a debate about voter apathy and turnout, which was televised later along with a mock election.
Election debate in Gateshead
Following this media appearance, we've also sent members of our network to an election debate held in Gateshead just a week before the election.
There has been opportunity after opportunity for our members to get involved, from the events I've described to the campaign postcard which allows older people to write directly to their candidates for free.
As a result, it's been a really rewarding campaign, with huge levels of involvement. It is obvious to me that the people of Sunderland are passionate about making our area, and the UK, a great place to grow older. Let's hope the next Parliament feels the same.
Today, we will all vote to choose our future MPs and the next UK Government. It's vital that once elected our politicians act on the issues that affect older people, today and tomorrow. Ask your Prospective Parliamentary Candidates to become Age Champions

Programmable & WiFi Thermostats
Put Precise Temperature Control in Your Hands
Are you searching for a relatively simple home improvement capable of yielding big energy-saving results in your Georgia home? Consider the installation of a programmable or WiFi thermostat.
When properly installed and configured, this handy electronic device helps maintain a comfortable indoor climate, extends the lifetime of your HVAC system, and helps the environment, all while reducing your household's overall energy use, leading to lower energy bills and increased home savings.
How It Works
You're very likely aware that your home's thermostat is responsible for maintaining your selected indoor temperature. The device works by detecting a room's temperature and using this feedback to control the building's heating and cooling systems. Often, people prefer having different temperatures at different times or while conducting different activities. For example, you might want your heating or cooling unit to work less while you're away at work, or you might desire a cooler bedroom at night. A programmable thermostat allows temperature settings to either rise or lower, depending on the season's heating and cooling needs and, where applicable, the requirements of specific household zones being controlled. Ideal candidates for programmable thermostats are families who regularly spend time away from the home – for example, when parents work standard job hours while kids maintain a daytime school schedule.
Primary Types of Programmable Thermostats
- Heat only. This type only works when a single heating appliance is being used.
- Cool only. Similar to above, this type of thermostat only works when a single cooling unit or source is used.
- Single stage heat/cool. Popular for many Georgia residents, this thermostat controls both the heating and cooling sources. This could include the control of a central air conditioning system and a baseboard heating system.
- Multi-stage heat/cool. For larger homes, this type might be preferable as it can be used to control multiple heating and cooling systems and sources.
- Electric heat/line voltage. This thermostat type is specific to electric heaters and baseboard systems.
- Heat pump. While most multi-stage heat/cool programmable thermostats can control a heat pump, if you want solitary control, this specialized thermostat is designed for air- and ground-source heat pumps.
- Millivolt. If you have a system that utilizes a pilot light, such as gas-fired furnace or fireplace, rather than an electrical circuit, you should consider this thermostat type.
Choosing a Model
Programmable thermostats are becoming the increasingly desirable alternative to standard, non-programmable models, because of their ability to heat and cool areas based on the user's daily and weekly schedule. Many unites have four "set points" allowing temperatures to be controlled for morning, daytime, evening and overnight use. A few also offer exact, 24-hour programmability. When you choose your programmable thermostat, you will have a choice between three key models: 7-day, 5+2 day, and 5-1-1 model.
- 7-day model. Ideal for people with erratic or irregular schedules, the 7-day model allows you to customize temperature settings specific for each day of the week. For example, if you work Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, you can create separate schedules for your work days and your days off.
- 5+2 model. This model is ideal for those with a fairly regular and standardized schedule. The thermostat is programmable for Monday through Friday, with a separate setting available for both Saturday and Sunday.
- 5-1-1 model. Similar to the 5+2 Model, the 5-1-1 keeps a set Monday through Friday setting, while also allowing separate codings between Saturday and Sunday.
The Benefits
- Money-saving. By eliminating the need to run heating and cooling systems at full force while your family is asleep or away from the work, programmable thermostats significantly reduce your household energy use. Simply program your thermostat to condition or heat your home's air an hour before you arrive home, so that you can enjoy the full comfort of your indoor environment without spending unnecessary money and energy.
- HVAC life-extending. Because your heating and cooling systems run less often when controlled by a programmable thermostat, they undergo less wear and tear. This can delay expensive repairs and replacements while also extending the lifetime of key unit components.
- An environmental aide. When you reduce your home energy use, not only are you reducing your home energy bill, but you're also reducing your carbon footprint.
To learn more about programmable thermostats and their benefits, or for information on other energy-efficient HVAC products and solutions, contact your local professionals at Neese-Jones Heating and Cooling. Our exceptional team of NATE-certified technicians have been providing quality services to Alpharetta and North Metro Atlanta residents since 1992.

Mr Morin, who heads the centrist Nouveau Centre party, is a rank outsider for April's presidential elections, polling less than one per cent, is 50 years old.
In a campaign speech over the weekend in Nice, southern France, he made the audacious claim.
"You, some of you, with white hair, you saw nearby the landings in Provence ... I, who saw the Allied landings in Normandy, we have lived through things much more difficult that what we have to go through today," he claimed.
His comments were immediately seized upon by the internet community.
"For a man born in 1961 to take part in the Allied landings of 1944 is a great achievement," wrote Voici.fr.
His Wikipedia profile was instantly updated to describe him as a "pioneer of time travel" following his curious D-Day claim.
Internet jesters quickly homed in on the nickname of Morin McFly, after Marty McFly, the hero of the 1980s time travelling film Back to the Future starring Michael J Fox.
It spawned a raft of internet parodies. "I was there at the Big Bang, it was overrated," wrote one.
"I was in Rouen when Joan of Arc was burned," claimed a second.
"You should have seen the Trojans' face when the Greeks came out of that horse," said a third.
Faced with the deluge of ridicule, Mr Morin stood by his remark today, saying it wasn't a mistake but a semantic "shortcut".
"It wasn't a blunder at all but simply a shortcut to something deeply anchored in the eye of every Norman. It's our DNA, our genetic code," he told RMC radio.
"I was brought up with the white crosses of Canadian and American soldiers in the (war) cemeteries, of these children who died for our freedom and thus it's a part of our common history, that's all," he said.
Taking the jokes at his expense on the chin, he wrote on Twitter: "Well done for your humour! I always said the French were full of creative talent!"
Mr Morin has little to laugh about from a political perspective, however, as two key party allies deserted him on Wednesday to come out in support of Nicolas Sarkozy, the incumbent conservative.
Mr Morin dismissed calls for him to throw in the towel.
"I intend to go all the way," he said, predicting he would "not stay on one per cent".

Ward Village Unveils New Shopping and Dining Concept: South Shore Market
Emerging shops and restaurants to join growing retail and living experience at the 60-acre master-planned community.
HONOLULU (Aug. 10, 2016) – Ward Village®, a master-planned community by The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC), today unveiled the concept for South Shore Market, its latest shopping and dining destination that will welcome a variety of exciting merchants this November.
Located at the Diamond Head end of Ward Village, on the corner of Auahi Street and Queen Lane, South Shore Market personifies Oʻahu's south shore, combining the area's surf spots and outdoor active lifestyle with the energy of Kakaʻako's art and culture, along with the urban community that is revitalizing the region. To further Ward Village's history and dedication to offering a diverse mix of local and national shopping and dining options, The Howard Hughes Corporation designed South Shore Market – a gathering place with 17 merchants, public spaces, and art displays – to focus on local entrepreneurs and businesses whose creativity and service would supplement the entire experience of the 60-acre master planned community.
"The addition of South Shore Market to Ward Village furthers our overall transformation into a neighborhood that offers an amazing experience for every aspect of your lifestyle," said Todd Apo, Vice President of Community Development at Ward Village. "South Shore Market puts an amazing group of creative and unique retailers into a space that goes beyond traditional shopping, by offering a forward-thinking, innovative gathering place for the entire community."
Once open, South Shore Market will transition Queen Lane into Ward Village's first "complete street," a community-friendly design concept put forth by the Hawai'i Community Development Authority's master plan for the district of Kaka'ako. Queen Lane offers safe use and access for all, including speed humps and elevated crosswalk area as residents cross from the neighborhood park to South Shore Market. To enhance the streetscape, the improvements will provide new landscaping, outdoor dining areas, walkable pathways, and bike racks. Complete streets are known to provide a number of community benefits – from improved health and enhanced livability to greater access and mobility.
The 25,125-square-foot South Shore Market continues Ward Village's legacy of supporting and nurturing small local businesses, with tenants including:
"Ward Village has helped my business grow from an Etsy store operating out of my home to a brick-and-mortar shop in one of Hawai'i's biggest shopping centers," said Karen Sawicki, owner of Flotsam & Co., which currently offers contemporary ocean-inspired jewelry at Ward Warehouse and will soon move to South Shore Market. "It's a dream come true to open Flotsam & Co. at South Shore Market, a place where local businesses will feel empowered to thrive and grow here in Hawai'i."
Inspired by retail spaces such as New York's Chelsea Market and California's Anaheim Packing District, South Shore Market will also encourage public use with large communal tables and shared interactive public art displays showcasing local artists and designers.
With just over 3,800 parking stalls throughout Ward Village, free parking is within easy walking distance of all merchants center-wide. Ward Village includes valet and standard parking options, including the new parking structure featuring over 700 stalls at the Ward Village Shops. Free valet is available behind Marukai Market on Fridays, 4:00 p.m.-midnight, Saturdays, 10:30 a.m.-midnight, and Sundays, 10:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m.
About Ward Village®
Developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, Ward Village is a new 60-acre coastal master planned community in the heart of Honolulu between downtown and Waikīkī in the Kakaʻako district. Ward Village includes three mixed-use residential towers– Waiea, Anaha and A'eo – that are now under construction and will transform the popular shopping and dining district into a vibrant neighborhood that offers exceptional residences with incredible island and ocean views and a carefully curated mix of retail experiences set among dynamic public open spaces and walkable streets.
Waiea, which will open in late 2016, will include 175 residences and be home to internationally acclaimed restaurant Nobu Honolulu. Anaha, opening in 2017, will include 318 residences and the first Merrimanʻs restaurant on Oʻahu. Aeʻo will complete construction in 2018; it will include 466 residences and Oahu's flagship Whole Foods Market.
This growing community includes two additional developments: Gateway Towers and Ke Kilohana at 988 Halekauwila Street. The extraordinary first building of Gateway Towers on Ala Moana Boulevard will bring the architecture of world-renowned architect Richard Meier to the Honolulu skyline. Ke Kilohana launched its sales in 2016 for housing targeted exclusively for local residents and a 23,000 square foot Long's Drugs to the neighborhood.
The vision for Ward Village is consistent with the master plan approved by the Hawaiʻi Community Development Authority in 2009, which allows for up to 9.3 million square feet of mixed-use development, over 4,000 residences and over 1 million square feet of retail space.
Ward Village is Hawaiʻi's only LEED-ND Platinum-Certified project and the largest neighborhood development in the country to receive such a prestigious certification. The Information Center and Residential Sales Gallery is located at the iconic IBM Building. For more information, visit www.wardvillage.com.

The Manitoba Forestry Association (MFA) has been delivering a Woodlot Program since 1992 throughout the Eastern, Interlake, and Swan River Valley regions of the province. Over 1200 management plans have been delivered.
In 2012, the MFA's Private Land Resource Planning (PLRP) replaced the Woodlot Program and now offers services to private landowners across the Province.
PLRP promotes sustainable woodlot management for environmental, economic, and social benefits through the delivery of personalized and comprehensive resource management plans in combination with skill development training and forestry services.
PLRP will provide technical information on a wide variety of forest resources including: forest health, wildlife, recreation, harvesting, value added, tree planting, non-timber forest products, etc.
PLRP is changing private landowners attitudes towards the need for active forest management. Ownership alone will not ensure long term forest ecosystem health!
PLRP offers a variety of management plan types to meet the goals and objectives of the landowner, whether it is tree planting, forest health, wildlife enhancement, recreational or economic opportunities.
Training and Extension:
PLRP offers a wide array of training opportunities to build capacity of forestry related skills that support and promote sustainable forest management. This is accomplished through skill based training such as chainsaw safety courses or education based training such as workshops and seminars.
Forestry Services:
PLRP offers a number of additional services to landowners and organizations on a fee for service basis. The services provided extend beyond the production of a plan and can include harvest block layout, tree marking, log scaling, forest renewal and shelterbelt establishment, trail development and GIS mapping.

I found this app called Sketchbook Pro for my phone a while back and started using it here and there. I eventually made a conscious effort to draw daily, and I used this app as a way to draw on my commute home from work.
There isn't a way to use anything but your finger to draw, so everything here is a finger painting. A lot of times I was inspired by someone on the train or bus, and sometimes I used the people in around me as a reference.

The Four Season Survival Garden is part of a series of articles about how to deal with coming 'tough times', from the perspective of (what should be) our top priority - ensuring we have enough food.In most places in North America the 'eating season' is usually longer than the growing season; certainly this is true in my neck of the woods, near Ottawa Ontario latitude 45 north, zone 5. So, what's a survival gardener to do? Answer – plan a four season survival garden based on seasonal growing, storage and a small greenhouse.If you are already a serious gardener, then seasonal eating is nothing new. You know that not every veggie is available fresh all 12 months of the year. The other reality is, the more you try to thwart the natural seasonality of crops, the more work and energy (usually) is required. For example, around here harvesting tomatoes in July is easy, but gets progressively more energy-intensive as you move 'backward' in the calendar.But that energy doesn't necessarily have to be something you pay for through a meter. My small unheated greenhouse (actually a 20' x 30' poly covered hoophouse that's movable on rails, a la Eliot Coleman) gives me abundant free energy (heat and light) that make growing season extension much more practical and cost-efficient.
Scott tilling the Movable Hoophouse in February
And a basement cold room or a root cellar captures 'free cold' in the same way a greenhouse captures free heat. This combination makes providing your own food 12 months a year a much more practical option.But what about canning, drying and otherwise preserving food? They certainly have a place in assuring your food supply and providing variety in your diet, and I'll write more about that in upcoming articles. But, these methods also require more work and more energy than simple season extension and natural storage. Less work and less energy is a good thing, especially in parlous times.My own survival plans for 2012 include building a properly ventilated and insulated cold storage room (see more about that in Recommended Survival Resources below). When that's in place, here's how achieving 12 months of eating might work at New Terra Farm. Spring in the four season survival gardenMost years I can start working the ground in my hoophouse around the end of February, and I can plant early in March. The first harvests – cold-hardy greens and salad makings are ready by mid-April. This is followed by turnips, beets and carrots. Beet and turnip thinnings contribute to salads or braised greens. I also start cole crops in March that will be transplanted to the outdoor garden in mid-April, where they can survive late frosts under row cover.The outdoor garden gets well underway in April, with both transplanted and direct-seeded cold-hardy crops. We replant greens, bunching onions, and radishes every week to 10 days or so. We replant turnips, carrots, broccoli and cabbage every two weeks. At about the same time, we move the hoophouse to 'summer position', so we can put the first transplants of tomato and peppers out. We give these an extra layer of protection by covering them with row cover. The remaining crops that were in the 'spring position' of the greenhouse can now survive with just row cover (see the Eliot Coleman books below for more info).Summer in the four season survival gardenWarm weather direct-seeded crops like beans and corn begin in June. Beans for drying are usually long season - 100+ days to maturity - so we start them early in the month.
Four Season Survival Garden Movable Hoophouse Growing Plan
Harvesting from the outdoor gardens starts around end-May and continues through to October. The last plantings of storage crops from the outdoor garden are usually in July e.g. we plant potatoes for our winter supply around July 1. Obviously you want to delay the harvest as long as possible for your winter storage, without letting the crops get past peak maturity in the ground. Fall in the four season survival gardenWe replant the open ground that was the 'spring position' of the greenhouse through July and August. These are the last plantings that we will eat fresh. Once the tomatoes, peppers, and cukes are finished (end-September or so) we move the greenhouse back to protect the carrots, turnips, beets, broccoli and cabbage and greens in the 'fall position'. We add a layer of row cover as the weather gets colder. We can keep eating fresh from this store until at least Christmas.Winter in the four season survival gardenFor the winter months, we will have a cold room full of potatoes, carrots, parsnips, rutabagas, onions, and garlic that will last until the first crops are ready again. If you have dried and stored beans and corn, you have a pretty substantial stock of survival food, even without considering canned food or small livestock (the topic of an upcoming article).
I've got over a hundred farming and gardening books in my personal library, and nearly as many cookbooks. Here's the cream of the crop, the books I would strongly recommend to the serious survival gardener (besides
my own
of course ;-)Note: if you order one of these books using the links below, I receive a small commission. This does not affect the price of the book to you, but helps support this website, so I can keep delivering useful (hopefully!) and practical farming and gardening information. The Resilient Gardener, by Carol Deppe. This might be the single best reference for actually, practically growing a subsistence diet. Carol explains what to grow, how to grow, and how to store and use your home-grown survival food. She provides step by step instructions based on decades of experience.

The New Organic Grower, by Eliot Coleman. This has been my organic farming 'bible' for many years. Eliot call this book a 'Master's Manual of Tools and Techniques for the Home and Market Gardener', and that description is exactly right.

A floor broker is someone who executes deals on the trading floor on behalf of clients of a firm, in contrast with a floor trader, who makes deals on his or her own behalf. These stock market professionals can work for firms of all sizes, and they may specialize in a particular type of commodity, or work more generally in a stock exchange. One of the advantages to working as a floor broker is that one is not exposed as directly to the risks of market volatility when a deal goes badly.
Also known as pit brokers, floor brokers receive orders from their firms and execute these orders on the floor. Their goal is to get the best deal, whether they are buying or selling, for the clients of the firm. Once the order is completed, it is recorded, and the client is informed that the deal has been successfully completed, and what the outcome was.
Working in a stock exchange can be extremely stressful and very hectic. Floor brokers need to be able to deal with a wide range of personalities, and to deal with a fast paced work environment. They also need to have some more basic skills, like the ability to clearly project their voices so that they can be heard over the din of the trading floor, and the aggressiveness to make a good trade and confirm it.
In order to become a floor broker, someone usually needs to pass an exam which allows him or her to join the exchange. Floor brokers are sponsored by their firms, and they work under the auspices of the companies which employ them, which means that when they make mistakes, the firm pays for them. These mistakes can vary from breaches of protocol which result in fines from the exchange, to a flubbed trade. Too many mistakes can get a floor broker fired, as firms are not interested in bearing expenses for their employees.
Every exchange has slightly different conventions and rules which floor brokers must become familiar with. Many exchanges have classes which are designed to familiarize people with life on the floor and the procedures that brokers and traders need to follow. These classes prepare people for the examinations they must take in order to work.
The level of education for a floor broker varies. Some have no advanced education, progressing on the basis of natural skills and the ability to work from the ground up. Others may hold college degrees in finance and related subjects.
Post 4
It seems to me like a floor broker acts more like an agent as opposed to a gofer.
Like sports agents, who are loud and try to get as much money for their clients, floor brokers are doing the exact same thing, only they are acting on their clients wishes and are directly responsible for how much money they make for their client.
If the floor broker is not quick or is not able to project their voice well then they could end up costing their client and their firm millions, so there is a lot of pressure and a lot of characteristics necessary in order to become a floor broker.
It is definitely more of a job than being a gofer and may be one of the most important jobs in the arena of stock exchange as they are the ones responsible for actually making the deals on the floor.
Post 3
@Emilski - I am sure that there is a lot more to the job than just being a gofer if there is an exam involved and they are dealing directly with clients.
People at stock exchanges making deals and using a floor broker usually have millions and the floor brokers are responsible for making sure that they invest in the right thing at the appropriate time.
That means that there is virtually no room for error and that a person must have at least some advanced knowledge of a stock exchange and know how they can project their voices to make sure that their client is satisfied.
Post 2
@matthewc23 - Well, an order to be a floor broker you do have to pass an exam, so that does mean that the person has to have some sort of knowledge as to what they are doing. But, it seems like in order to be a floor broker you may have to be able to simply be someone to express the wishes of a client.
It says in the article that a floor broker has to deal with a wide array of personalities and considering it to be a chaotic atmosphere it seems like the person must be able to handle stress well and be able to act on behalf of their client and do what they want them to do in the stock deals.
It seems more like a job similar to being a gofer than anything, only there is a lot of money on the line.
Post 1
I am wondering if there is a lot expertise needed in becoming a floor trader or if you can simply be someone with a limited knowledge of a stock exchange and can just be a body that acts on behalf of his or her client to make sure that their stock deal is created?
I know little about stock exchanges, but upon reading this article it seems as if that although someone needs to pass an exam to become a floor trader that in reality they are very low on the totem pole and they are more or less acting on the orders of their firm, which may not be horribly complex.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

When we were in Florida last year, I had the pleasure of working from home. It was great at first, but it got really lonely once David started traveling for work. I think that's at least part of why I couldn't resist Barney when we saw him at Petco's outpost of the Humane Society.
He'll be two on Friday–14 in dog years. Oh, how the time flies! So far, he's been a great big brother to Miles, licking his hands and feet every chance he gets. I can't wait until Miles can play back a little more, but for now Barney will have to be content with playing bodyguard.
That's what big brothers are for!

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 Cor. 4:7 ESV
Precious Jesus, Lord of grace and mercy, we pray flood our souls with your Holy Spirit that we might minister your abundant life. So penetrate our hearts and fill our spirits that our lives may utterly and completely be yours. Lord, we love you and praise you for working through weak jars of clay like us. Pray, convict us of our stubborn ways and selfish actions. Forgive us for being insensitive to others' needs and for disregarding your holy will and express commands. Lord Jesus, we pray you, come and transform us into your image. We desperately need your power. In Jesus's name. Amen.

Team Captains are invited to email match results to the appropriate League Secretary Jane Hall for Team of 8 results and Shirley Ashtari
for Team of 4 results
1. Apologies for absence. Keith Spencer and Chris Clark
2. Matters arising. Tim Anderson asked whether the issues raised by the letter sent by Keyworth Bridge club had been resolved. Clare Batten and Toni Smith have been working on a survey to be sent to all county members.There would also be a separate survey sent to all club secretaries once this survey had been completed they would report back to the committee and the committee would be better able to respond to the needs of the whole county not just one club.Keyworth have been made aware that a survey will be taking place.
3. Approval of the minutes of last meeting.These were approved and signed by new chair.
4. Chairman Report John Auld

c. John stated that we needed to know what the ordinary members of the association wanted and that the survey would help the committee find out. Ian Dovey stated that due to play to pay procedure which made all members of affiliated clubs automatically members of the county association, there were a number of county members who were unwilling members of the association. They may not be interested in the county survey.Clare Batten stated that according to EBU records there were over 700 ( 745) members of the county association. Not all members have a valid email address so we would have to use other method to get the survey out there such as allowing people to download a copy from the county website.Ian Dovey offered to print out copies and had them out to members of West Bridgeford.
d. John mentioned that we could make use of new technology such as blogs to try and reach out to the whole of the county.
e. John welcomed Kyra and also Keith Spencer to the committee.
5. Received correspondence Clare Batten.The EBU annual return of county officers needed to be completed.The EBU had asked for dates for the 2017 green pointed event.

8. Treasurer's report Irene Auld/Ian Dovey.The signatures on the accounts would need to be changed with Ian taking over and Joan Burgess no longer on the committee. The committee resolved that the authorised signatories in the current mandate, for the NatWest account with sort code ******* and account number *********, be changed so that Joan Burgess is removed from the list of signatories and the new treasurer Ian Dovey and committee member Graham Brindley be added. In future one signature from Irene Auld, Ian Dovey or Graham Brindley will be sufficient on cheques from this account.
9. Midlands Working Group Graham Brindley.Graham handed out a document on the role of a county committee issued by the EBU.It was noted that although the committee was carrying out some of the items mentioned it was not doing all the things listed.Toni Smith said that she would look at this and use it to amend the questions she was compiling for the survey.
10. Green Pointed Event– Graham Brindley/John Auld At the moment the number of pairs entered was 30 and the number of teams was 10. It was suggested that not all the entries were in yet. The closing date was end of this week.It was decided that entries would be taken up to the time of starting as this had been the practise in past years.Graham will be present at Spondon to deal with last minute entries.
11. Supervised Play sessions- Graham Brindley Graham wanted to run a session aimed at encouraging new players to play at club level.The committee discussed the idea and it was decided to allow this to start.
12. Calendar of Events for 2015/2016 Clare Batten Clare stated that the calendar was based on what had happened last year.Members of the committee did not feel that the Winter Pairs was that successful in that the number of table was poor.John Auld asked the committee for ideas on what further events should be run. Clare Batten commented that if the winter pairs was not run then the county would not be running many events compared with Derbyshire and Leicester and that we should try and find out from the survey what events should be run. Kyra felt that county players should be encouraged to support the events held on a Wednesday evening and this should be used as a training exercise for county players. Lloyd Eagling stated that he had encouraged county players to come to the Wednesday drives.It was decided to run a "bulter imps" competition in September which Lloyd will organise.It was to be advertised to all people interested in playing in teams competitions as well as county players. A decision on whether to run the Winter Pairs was left until the next meeting.
13. AOB John Auld asked about progress in writing a statement to propose that David and Joan Burgess be awarded the Dimmie Flemming award. Clare Batten was awaiting information from the Burgesses themselves and she had asked them to send this to her by the end of July as the closing date for applications was the 23rd August.The application would then have to be signed by the key members of the committee.John had spoken to Gordon Fullerton about his resignation as County President and he did not wish to reconsider. John had approached David Burgess about taking on the role but he had declined. It was decided as the post was honorary that it would be left vacant at present.Clare Batten will be sending a card to Gordon following the death of his wife Angela and it was noted that Angela had served on the committee in the past and been a county director.John Auld signed the card on behalf of the committee.
14. The date of the next meeting was fixed as 23rd September.

Loose Lips (and Data Sharing) Can Still Sink Ships
Fitness Tracker Strava, used by me and many of my peers, updated its user heat maps in November of 2017, showing exercise location data for billions of activities, and consequently, the improved clustered information showed the location of sensitive military and security locations around the world.
In January of 2018, more detailed revelations began surfacing at a rapid pace when Nathan Ruser, a student studying international security at the Australian National University, began posting his findings via Twitter.
Using a series of images, Ruser pointed out Strava user activities potentially related to US military bases in Afghanistan, Turkish military patrols in Syria, as well as a possible guard patrol in the Russian operating area of Syria.
I felt terrible when I first read this information. I use Strava to record my bike rides. And I use MapMyRun. I felt angry toward Strava for publishing the heat maps. But the more I thought about it, the more I found myself ticked about the apparent lack of training provided to our military and security personnel to protect sensitive information.
The Garmin app has a selective option to turn off selected data sharing to Social Media, but there should be military and security worker training on how to shut it off, completely, so that an app's data is not visible on Social Media, or even to an app administrator.
Some of the apps have options to protect the geographical reference to a user's start and stop location. But in my mind, that's not enough security when your job makes you and your coworker's locations vulnerable. Hiding my "start" location might be useful in my neighborhood of 200 homes, but in an Afghani Desert, any information is too much information.
My spouse is a 30-year military veteran who has been in harm's way. And I'm deeply concerned about the safety of our military members and unintentional Social Media data sharing that could affect them.
Military members and security workers are trained (and policy is set for them) to stay away from Social Media or to severely limit its use. Using an app that had an active location service running "should" be a no-no in the scope of a military members role. Many security workers that I know actively self-monitor their own Social Media use.
While it is fun and motivational to measure exercise results, there is no requirement to do so in an app, and it is my opinion that a military member or security employee should know better. My spouse has a Facebook account that he very rarely uses, and he has never used an app for exercise that would track his location while on duty–I did that, and the only way anyone would have known his running location is IF they knew that he was running with me.
In the event of an emergency, my spouse carries his phone while exercising, and lets me know about his plans ahead of time. And if he wanted to "measure" his exercise results, he used an offline wrist exercise monitor, or timed his run and calculated his results the old fashioned way, with a stopwatch. Remember those?
In our household, we've always had a policy that we don't post Facebook "vacation" or activity information that reveals where we are "until" we get home. We started that even when our kids were young.
In the "old days" we had exercise trackers that had no connections to Social Media. Anyone remember the old Polar exercise monitors? No personal data was required to use the device, and you could still measure your results. It was simply a measuring device that retained anonymous data.
My husband got his first smartphone last year, the year he retired from active duty. Up to that point, he always had a flip phone. It may have had GPS, but had no apps. It was a phone. This was the first year in his life that he used any Google apps.
The old World War II era warning that "loose lips sink ships" still holds as true today as it always did, and I am shocked that our military and security agencies aren't more diligent about new technology developments that allow access to personal data on Social Media.
Training military or security employees to protect sensitive information should be a top priority of these agencies. The exposure of the sensitive heat map data by Strava should be a lesson to those agencies to determine better policies to protect personnel.
Sadly, when I went seeking information distributed by the DoD on Social Media policies, all I found was a reference page that gave instructions on things like, "How to set up your Tinder" account.
"Zero-ing" in on a Networked Learning Space!
Yes, my title reflects a pun. A "Zero" was a plane used by the Japanese in WWII. And my Networked Learning Space for my UC Denver course is focused on building a Networked Learning Space for the WWII Aviation History Museum in Colorado Springs, a growing museum that just earned Congressional recognition.
I created the site in Google Communities, having looked at other options and deciding that Google tools, with their ease of use, would be the most appropriate tool for reaching school teachers and students of STEM topics.
I've started to curate some of the topics that the museum has already begun to promote in its mission: its Link instrument aviation trainer, and technologies developed and used during WWII, like Plexiglass and Formica. The real focus is to find content that is relevant to both the war, and STEM learning. There are a number of relevant technologies and sciences that advanced during the war, but finding them, and making them interesting to young students is a challenge.
My bigger struggle will be to build the site and build a coalition among the museum docents to use the site to draw students and teachers to the museum. We don't want them to learn just from visiting the site. We want to tease them to coming and touching and playing with the displays and technologies.
I feel like I will have a long way to go to build the audience for the WWII Aviation Museum site for STEM learning, but I'm just beginning. And I want to find ways to build the voices that will make it interesting.
I Miss My Tribe
When recently asked, I didn't have to think even two seconds about the concept of my learning "tribe" with respect to Network Learning Spaces, but the concept didn't come about with respect to my classes or volunteer efforts.
Instead, I found myself instantly entrenched in the idea of the "tribe" I've become part of with the Training Learning and Development Cast, tldc.us. We hold daily interactions in a cast, we have a Slack channel for continued discussions, we have a podcast, we hold text chats, we connect to each other on Twitter, and we meet each other in person when we can. And many of us call each other friends, peers, and mentors because we are.
I "met" the group officially about a year ago, after being invited to speak as a guest. I immediately immersed myself among this amazing group of my peers in adult learning and instantly found myself "home." Then, I met a few of the members in person at ATD International last year, (Sam Rogers and Matt Pierce) and found myself hooked.
Never before had I encountered a group that was so much like me in their experience and passion for adult learning, and helping each other.
And quite frankly, never have I learned so much from my peers. Before meeting my "peeps" in TLDC, I always thought of myself as alone in my craft. After all, I'd always worked alone!
In the past few weeks, I've been super busy, immersed in the proverbial "drinking from the firehouse" onboarding process of a new job. And this week, I'm on vacation in LA.
But if you ask what I miss most about my days now, I'll tell you that it is my incredible group of peers from the TLDCast, a group that is not just virtual to me, but very real, and very important to my edification and development of my craft.
I hope to get back to more regular interaction with my group; I guested a couple of weeks ago on a panel discussion.
But TLDC friends, know that I miss you, and know that I'll soon find a way to get back.

Emsam is a skin patch that contains selegiline. It's a transdermal skin patch. Selegiline is able to stop the breaking down of chemicals inside the brain that are usually imbalanced with people who suffer from depression problems.
What are some of the common possible side effects?
Allergic reactions
Mood or behavior changes
Panic attacks
Trouble sleeping
Redness or itching where the patch is worn
Upset stomach
Dry mouth
Sleep problems (insomnia)
Sinus pain or stuffy nose
Symptoms that if you have you should get emergency help right away.
Dangerously high blood pressure
Sudden and severe headache
Vision problems
Pounding in your neck or ears
Neck stiffness
Chest pain
Fast or pounding heartbeats
Shortness of breath
Sudden numbness or weakness (especially on one side of the body)
Problems with speech or balance
High levels of serotonin in the body
Fast heart rate
Overactive reflexes
Loss of coordination
What type of depression problems are best treated by means of this drug?
If you have mild depression, meaning the type of depression that doesn't completely cripple you, then you would do good to not take a medication like Emsam. Mild depression is usually a short term problem that will go away in time or if you get help using other means. In many cases a temporary event caused it and once a little time goes past the mild depression will stop.
What you want in order to know that Emsam is right for you is to have severe depression or depression that would be categorized as moderate. These are signs you may have a more serious problem. In a lot of cases other treatments that are non medication based take too long to work. You may need to come off the depression for a short period of time just to take part in such treatments. Emsam could help with this to a degree.
Will Emsam make you feel better right away or does it take time?
Emsam isn't a medication that's designed to make you feel better right away. This is an impression some people get, because they look at it as more of a feel good drug. Yes, while at times the drug can put you into a certain state of mind it's not meant to be used this way. If you have moderate to severe anxiety that you've suffered from for a long time, then you will require a few days most likely for the drug to start working as well as it can.
Does Emsam cause depression to get worse in some cases?
The only way this can happen is if you do something to effect the working of the drug. For instance, people who usually are depressed engage in unhealthy behaviors. Some of these might include drinking large amounts of alcohol, doing hard narcotics, etc. If you do these things and then turn around and take Emsam, then you're asking for trouble. You give yourself a higher chance to suffer not only side effects but some of the more serious ones.
What's the best option in order to purchase Emsam?
The best method to use would be going to an online pharmacy, because they can help you get what you need at a low price. The only thing you need to make sure of is that you're going through a reputable pharmcy. This is one where you'll be able to ask questions, get help in different ways and know you're going to get a quality medication that's going to work the way it's supposed to.

The Swedes are big on recycling and there are two different ways they recycle here. The first is by returning the aluminum cans and plastic bottles you've paid a deposit on at the grocery store. Dale is demonstrating for you how that works. You simply put your recycleables in this machine and when you are done press the button for your ticket. At the larger grocery stores they have seperate machines for plastic and cans. When you check out you present your ticket to the cashier and you get the total taken off your bill. Pretty simple.
The other method is for all other recyclables, paper, tin, glass, etc. In many places through out the city you can find these recycle centers, ours is about 200 feet from our front door. These you just drop your recyclables into like normal trash bins.
Love Always,

Ridgway Lifestyle
"SO HOW LONG HAVE you been in Ridgway?" Whatever your answer, once you've been here long enough, you're hooked.
People who choose to live here get to revel in natural beauty that begins at their doorstep and continues to the horizon. One day it's the elk herd in the valley, another day it's the deer making the rounds through town pruning our trees. Some mornings, it's just fascinating tracks in the snow—bear, or mountain lion, or just quick little bunny feet making for safety. Maybe you get drawn in by a pair of eagles keeping watch over town.
My favorite story about Ridgway concerns the time the power went out one evening in the grocery store. As the staff broke out packages of flashlights and batteries, they found the electric cash registers didn't work, so they started writing out bills by hand. If people had credit cards, they started making out IOUs. And if you think any of those bills went unpaid, then you haven't been in Ridgway long enough.
Our "founding fathers" named the East-West streets after themselves and the North-South streets after their wives. It struck a nice balance, and Ridgway has been balancing ever since.
You wouldn't think the rancher and the skier would have a lot to talk about; but standing together at the Farmer's Market and mutually admiring a perfect bell pepper, you'll see these two discussing rainfall in earnest, a conversation they'll repeat later in the year when the rain turns to snow. And, and in the spring, they'll be sharing the location of their secret mushroom-picking grounds.
People in Ridgway, as it turns out, have common ground from which to start any conversation&—they wouldn't want to live anywhere else. When the rodeo comes to town, try sitting in the stands and looking down. You might be surprised to see as many pairs of Birkenstocks as Tony Lamas. And when the local kid rolls off that horse, slides down the rope and ties up that calf, everyone jumps to their feet to cheer. If they don't already know him, or his family, or his friends, then it's just because they haven't been in Ridgway long enough.
You might be surprised that local railroad buffs pitched in to recreate the 1926 Buick-turned-"Galloping Goose" at the Railroad Museum. You might be surprised that a local restaurateur knits the cutest baby hats you ever saw. You might be surprised that the person sitting next to you at the bar sells solar panels, or raises camels, or blows glass, or runs sled dogs, or teaches theater, or leads wildflower walks or wants to take you fly-fishing…. Well, stay for a bit. You just haven't been in Ridgway long enough.

With the Council of Stellar Management (CSM) Elections coming up soon we at EVE NT have contacted all the running candidates who have announced their intentions to run and provided them with a standardised interview template. The goal of this is to give each candidate a set of standard questions for them to respond to with the aim of helping you, the voter, to choose a candidate who best represents you and your play style to CCP. The same questions have been asked of every candidate as to allow easier comparison. The responses posted are unedited and will be published in the run up to the opening of the voting period on February the 29th in the order that they have been received.
Today's candidate is Lorelei Ierendi.
1. Please start by giving us a short introduction to who you are and your history within EVE Online. Include how long you have been playing and the groups you have been involved with.
Abridged from my Campaign Thread:I am a High Sec Carebear, and proud of it!High Sec Carebears tend not to socialize too much, and are only members of NPC or small corporations.Well, this is not the first character I have created in order to play "EVE". I have never been a member of a big alliance or coalition. I have never been a member of a big corporation. Hell, I have never left High Sec space before the CSMX Election.I kept my eyes open for an online version of a space-sim... and that is where EVE comes in.I really enjoy (as in "really") flying transports, fulfilling contracts, and, sometimes, mining.
2. Who would you consider to be your key constituents? Who you would best represent within the playerbase?
High Sec Care Bears. People that have no desire to participate in the more risky parts of space. I would be the voice of the disinterested masses.
3. Please summarise your platform. (Preferably using key bullet points)
(See the first post of my Campaign Thread)- High Sec is worth fighting for.- Vote for ?None of the above.?- Expanded options for social grouping.- New Player Experience.- Equality Gankee vs Gankers.Are some of the main points I personally support. I do know that as a CSM I will not be in a position to ?force? any changes through ? I would be looking to provide feedback to the people that matter, from the perspective that I represent. 4. Why have you decided to run for CSM this year'the High Sec carebear (probably the majority of players) needs their perspective represented in any feedback that is getting through to the people that matter? especially considering the ?knock on? potential of any changes.
5. Have you run for or been a member of CSM in the past? If so please list each year and if you were elected.
I ran last year and came in 15th out of 14 places. Unfortunately my cross-platform support was miserable, so I did not get asked to replace any people that resigned or got thrown out.
6. What makes you a unique representative when you compare yourself to other candidates?
Everyone is an individual, me included.And being the high sec carebear that I am, just as in last year, I have not been following the campaigns of other candidates. I have resisted the urge to propagate myself by posting in all their threads. I am trying to run on the strength of being a high sec carebear? with all that entails.
7. Do you have any out of game experience and skills that make you a good candidate?
8. What areas of EVE are you weakest at knowledge wise?
I have never been or done anything in Faction Warfare. That is the one area of EVE that I think I am weakest in, to talk about what is going on.
9. If you were offered unlimited development time - what's the biggest change you would lobby for in EVE?
Unlimited development time? I wrote a blog entry about CONCORD, but to sum up, I would get the CONCORD mechanics revamped, so they at least make sense.
10. If you could wind back the clock - what feature or change would you remove from EVE?
I'd remove the Captain's Cabin on the space station. Ask me why, I dare you.
11. If you could pick one candidate to be elected with you who would they be and why?
A candidate that is running, or any candidate?From those that are running, I think that fuzzysteve should definitely be re-elected.
12. What is your favourite memory in EVE and why?
There are so many, if I am elected maybe I will do a podcast about them!The moment that I looked at the CSM voting last year, and saw that I came in 15th. That was quite a warm, fuzzy feeling? maybe also the reason that I am still here!
13. What platform(s) do you use currently to engage with the wider player base? If someone wanted to contact you what is the best way to do this? (Include Twitter/Emails/Skype/Slack etc.)
At the moment, I am purely limiting myself to in-game channels. Otherwise, I am contactable through my Blog, EMail, EVEmail, Skype, Facebook and Twitter. If I am elected I shall broaden things out?
14. If people wanted to find out more about your platform - where is the best place to do so? (Include blogs, forums posts and podcasts)
Read my Campaign thread, from this year and last year. My blog (see my forum signature, whilst reading my campaign thread) has some information. Otherwise talk to me, write me EVEmails and so on.
15. In short - what is your closing statement (no more than 500 words please!)
Despite the disheartening messages that have come from the CSM this past year, and in the past months, we, the players should not give up on this institution. Everyone should vote for the candidate that they feel represents their point of view, or that can represent their point of view. If we just vote for candidates, because ?CCP deserves them?, or as a joke, then well? we only have ourselves to thank.High Sec is important, it is here that most players start the fascinating adventure that is EVE. The High Sec point of view should be represented in any initiative that has potentially contact with the developers.High Sec is worth fighting for!

In the first round of assembly elections in five states, Punjab and Goa recorded their highest-ever turnouts of 78.62% and 83% (as of 5 pm, according to the Election Commission), respectively.
Both states have tradition ally seen bipolar contests, but this time, the entry of Kejriwal's AAP as a potential third force could be a major factor in determining the outcome.
The previous highs for the two states were logged in the 2012 assembly polls, with Punjab at 78.2% and Goa at 81.73%.
A very high turnout in the Malwa region, which accounts for 69 of the 117 seats in Punjab, could well be a decisive factor in the outcome. EC figures show that nine out of 11 districts in Malwa, where AAP is a strong force, saw voter percentage jump to over a record 80%. Malwa includes three pocket boroughs of the Badal family . While SAD-BJP is fighting anti-incumbency in Punjab, defence minister Manohar Parrikar's prestige is at stake in Goa, which the BJP hopes to retain.
