Gayle Lindsay - School Sports in Ethiopia
When I saw there was a volunteer project on offer that combined sports coaching with athletics training I knew I had to do it. I didn't really know too much about Ethiopia apart from the fact that it is home to some of the fastest long distance runners on the planet, most notably the legendary Haile Gebrselassie. However, having completed my three week stint in Ethiopia and having loved every second of it, I can honestly say that it is one of the most fascinating countries I have ever visited. It was also one of the most inspirational, humbling and rewarding experiences.
Impressions of Ethiopia
When I arrived in Addis Ababa, I was picked up by my Projects Abroad co-ordinator and given a cultural induction where I discovered that the country actually uses a different calendar to the rest of the world. The Ethiopic calendar has 12 months of 30 days plus a 13th month at the end of the year that has 5 days (6 in a leap year) and they are currently in the year 2008. They also use local time rather than international time. For them, a new day begins when the sun rises (i.e. 6am international time), hence their local time is 6 hours behind international time.
After my briefing I was taken to meet my host family, who I stayed with for the duration of my project, I believe living with a local family provided a truly authentic cultural experience and enabled me to experience the realities of everyday life in an Ethiopian household. I was greeted by my family with a traditional coffee ceremony and I soon learned that this forms an integral part of their social and cultural life. During my three week stay they arranged excursions for me, taught me a lot about Ethiopian traditions and customs, fed me extremely well and generally made me feel very welcome in their home!
The city of Addis Ababa where I was based is vast and somewhat overwhelming. All of the streets seemed to look the same at first - all lined with little grocery stalls seeming to sell the same things, people selling merchandise on the pavements and cars, buses and people generally everywhere you looked. I read that people will only ever stop you to ask for one of two things; directions or money. I knew it was highly unlikely that an Ethiopian would request directions from me (an obvious tourist) and so based on a process of elimination, I decided it was generally best not to engage in conversation with people on the street. However, I never felt unsafe and the Ethiopians I met during my project were such friendly, welcoming and respectful people.
Teaching sport
My assigned placement was Lemlem school, a private school founded by headteacher Atsede Woldegebriel and which is funded mainly by student contributions of about 50 birr per month (less than £2). A typical day starts at 8.15am with the school assembly and this is followed by 7 periods, each lasting 45 minutes.
My first lesson gave me a taste of how tough it is to teach sport in an Ethiopian school - the average class size was between 40-50 children, and there was a distinct lack of equipment - 1 basketball, a couple of footballs and a few skipping ropes for the whole school! However, what the school lacked in equipment, the children made up for in enthusiasm and energy - it was truly humbling! The majority of my lessons were with the younger children (grades 1 to grade 7) and the teacher generally let me take the lessons, whilst she assisted with translation and discipline.
I had offered to help the children with their English during my free periods and I was given the opportunity to help grades 1 and 2. I usually assisted in marking their homework or explaining the classwork for the day and it was interesting to see the massive differences in ability across the class. During one period I also had the privilege of sitting in on the 3rd grade music class. They all stood up to greet me as I entered the room and I was surprised to see that there wasn't a musical instrument in sight. Instead they sang various songs in unison from the blackboard and from their exercise books and I was sad when the lesson had to come to an end.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the school; my only regret is that I wasn't there for longer!
Running with an Ethiopian athlete
I was paired with Legesse, an athlete who can run 10km in an impressive 31 minutes, and it was a true honour to train with this man. We met 3 times per week and each session typically involved a 50 minute run through the forest, where a lot of top athletes can be found training. On a couple of occasions we ran to the top of the hill (battling with the effects of the high altitude). It was worth all the huffing and puffing though as the views from the top over Addis were amazing. You don't really appreciate the vastness of this city, which is home to around 3.4 million people, until you're looking down on it. Legesse was a great running partner and, by the end, a great friend too!
Closing sentiment
Words can't describe the feeling you get from putting a smile on the faces of these children and being able to transport them into a world of sport and games, where the amount of money they have has no impact on their level of enjoyment and where the troubles of everyday life simply seem to disappear in those moments of excitement. It was a truly unforgettable and life-changing experience and one I would definitely recommend to anyone who has a passion for sport and a desire to make a difference in an African school!

April 26 2017 marks the 55th anniversary of the maiden flight of Article 121, the first A-12 to be test flown from Project OXCART. Few aircraft have captivated the aviation community (and in this case, the intelligence community) as much as the A-12. Project Oxcart involved the classified development of the A-12 aircraft as a symbol of the successful collaboration of the Intelligence Community, the Defense Department, and private industry to create a national strategic asset that our adversaries never dreamed possible.
This Memorial Shirt shows an artistic rendering of Article 128 as it sits on display at HQS (CIA Headquarters for the uninitiated) in Langley, Virginia. The stars, larger versions of the stars on the Memorial Wall, shine brightly from the front of Article 128 as a reminder to all who see it, that the mission of the Central Intelligence Agency is not only important to our way of life but, at times, requires the ultimate sacrifice.
The Two Memorial Stars Represent:
Walter Ray: During a routine A-12 training flight on January 5, 1967, a fuel gauge failed to function properly, and the aircraft ran out of fuel only minutes before landing. The pilot, Walter Ray, ejected but was killed when he was unable to separate from the ejection seat before impact. The aircraft was completely destroyed. Its wreckage was found on January 6, and Ray's body was recovered a day later.
Jack Weeks: The second pilot fatality in the program occurred during this drawdown. On 4 June 1968 Jack Weeks was in Article 129 on a checkout flight after an engine change for the trip to the United States. He was last heard from 520 miles east of Manila. No trace of the plane was found, and an investigation turned up no clue about the cause of the crash. Signals received about a half hour into the flight from the onboard BIRDWATCHER monitoring system indicated engine trouble; a catastrophic failure was the most likely explanation.
The back features the Inglorious Amateurs shield logo.
Professionally screened on the perfect 60/40 blend cotton/poly shirt like all our offerings. Please remember these run on the athletic side, order accordingly.
Available now as a pre-sale only, from 12 March 2017 until 31 March 2017. We expect to ship the 2nd week of April.

End of the Line is a collaboration between InvestigateWest and KUOW asking what happens when teens get too old for foster care in Washington State.
At a time when more than half of 18-to-24-year-olds in the U.S. live at home, many foster youth in Washington leave the state's protective system when they turn 18. They are suddenly alone and without support. The result is increased risk of homelessness, less likelihood of finishing college, lower lifetime earnings, and severe health and economic hardship.
In 2012, Washington opted in to a federal program providing matching funds to extend services until age 21 for some foster youth, and in 2013 the Washington Legislature expanded the program again. Now around 250 young adults are enrolled, but many of the 400-plus foster youth who age out each year are choosing independence — or don't have the choice.
We talked to five young adults, and here is what they had to say.

After years of turbulence living with her mom, aunt, and grandmother, Desiree Magill entered foster care at the end of the 9th grade. Though some of her placements were better than others, Desiree says she never felt like she belonged, that she was always "the odd man out."
State law now allows more kids to stay in foster care for an extra three years — until age 21. But enrollment is still fairly low. Magill is one of the ones exiting — she moved out of her current foster family's home and into a dorm in September. She is a freshman at Seattle University this year, on a full scholarship for qualified foster kids.
Listen as KUOW's Liz Jones looks at why this transition to adulthood is trickier than expected – for foster kids, and for the state.

A 2005 study of young adults who came up through the foster care system in the Northwest reached remarkable — and troubling — conclusions: Just 20 percent of alumni completed any degree or certificate program beyond high school, and only 1.8 percent had earned a bachelor's degree. More than 1 in 5 had experienced homelessness after age 18; and 1 in 3 had household incomes at or below poverty level. One third had no health insurance, twice the rate of the general 18- to 44-year-old population.
"I think that brings on a challenge to us foster kids," says Vinny Wilson. Wilson, 19, has spent much of his life in foster care, an escape hatch from his biological parents' involvement in drugs and gangs. "It's statistically proven that we're failures."
Wilson was adopted by his grandmother before he aged out. Now independent, he is doing double duty with a full-time job and a full course load at South Seattle Community College. He has an apartment with his girlfriend in south Seattle, up the hill from his parents' old house.
"I think overall I was put into foster care to just learn in life what to do right," he says.

The federal law that gave money to states for extended foster care also created a new database, the National Youth in Transition Database, to measure the efficacy of the investment in Extended Foster Care (EFC). That data will, hopefully, help advocates and policymakers improve outcomes.

Born and raised in Seattle, Demecca says she entered foster care at age 5 and was in the system for 5 years, until her mother regained custody. "That didn't go so well," says Demecca, who was back in the system at age 11 or 12. Her mother fought for her again, but Demecca wasn't interested and so, she "started running." "I pretty much made sure they put me into care at 13. I was very angry with my mother, with the system." She estimates that there were about 15-20 placements between age 5 and 17 when she took off for the last time.
Problems at school added to increasing problems at her foster home and her social worker, Sheila Wilson, announced another placement. But Demecca was done. "I'm not going to be tossed around like a rag doll," she told herself, went online, bought a greyhound bus ticket and landed back in Seattle, where she spent the next few months living on a friend's couch.
By the time she turned 18 she had a job working retail at Forever 21 in downtown Seattle.
"It's hard. You have to really push. You have to really want it. It's not given to you. You have to fight for it. But if you don't know about the resources available, they're not going to tell you. If you go in and talk to them, they'll do what they can. They do for the kids that want something to be done for them. I was motivated, driven, ambitious."

In sheer numbers, the changes to foster care in Washington have been a success. More than twice as many youth are receiving transitional living services, as compared to six years ago. The Department of Social and Health Services expects enrollment to increase to 380 by June 2015, up from 190 in June 2013.
But it can be a hard choice for young adults ready for independence. "I might have benefited," says Roel Williams, 22. "I just don't think I would've even done it."
Four years out, Roel works at Top Pot Donuts and is still trying to figure out how to be a grownup. He has transitional housing through the YMCA.
"I feel like I'm doing adult things but I'm still a kid at heart. I mean, what does it mean to be an adult, like, to be boring?"
The newest guidelines from the Washington State Children's Administration, released in July, mark a step forward for advocates. They explain in plain language the new eligibility rules for Extended Foster Care —including a year-long grace period to opt in — and expectations of foster youth, social workers and foster parents.
« PreviousNext »
While the Washington system is designed to help foster youth reach adulthood, it still may not support them through the full transition to independent living. Up to three more years of state help is good, but more time in the system isn't by itself a panacea, experts say.
"The big concern that a lot of people have, is it's not just a matter of extending the age of foster care," says Amy Dworsky, a senior researcher at the University of Chicago. Age-appropriate services for 18- to 21- year olds need to be developed too, she says.
More significantly, young people who graduate from school or get a job get bounced from extended foster care under current Washington law. Academic or professional success is met with a dismissal from the social safety net set up specifically for these at-risk youth.
"You're basically telling these people don't get a job because we're going to kick you out of foster care," Dworsky says.
Advocates say the next push in Washington is to close that loophole and pass an extension of the program to young adults with jobs, as well as those with a medical condition that prevents them from going to school or working.

The words "Making Tomorrow Better in Tunisia" have never been more compelling than when we see the true essence of this statement driving
Kassiri teamed up with three other U.S. Department of State programs alumni, who are equally as passionate about computer programming and digital learning, to start Young Tunisian Coders Academy (YTCA). As a coding training program, YTCA uses Scratch, an open-source programming language, to help kids between the ages of 10 and 15 program their own interactive stories, games and animations. Scratch also helps strengthen creativity, reasoning skills and collaborative work.
With the support of the U.S. Department of State's Alumni Engagement and Innovation Fund (AEIF), the growing YTCA team has taught 500 students in 23 of Tunisia's 24 governorates to code, focusing on students with limited access to technology.

Where It All Started
Kassiri was part of the
"We acquired a lot of skills in the U.S., and we wanted to put them in practice back home," said Kassiri.
Kyane Kassiri offers coding guidance to a young student.
Educating the Next Generation of Tunisian Leaders
After the success of YTCA's national competition in Tunis, Kassiri and the team are planning to expand their reach this month with Coder Summer Camps.
"Our mission is to equip youth from an early age with coding skills to render them agents of a new technological revolution in Tunisia and all over the world," he said.
The YTCA team is convinced that youth must be prepared to learn new skills. By exposing them to coding and its underlying algorithmic reasoning, YTCA believes it can open minds and tap into these students' creative potential, better preparing them to become active, engaged, global citizens who contribute to Tunisia's development.
Kassiri teaches a class at the Young Tunisian Coders Academy.
Recognition and the Way Forward
The Tunisian government is taking notice of this youth-led organization and several other initiatives emerging in the country. The Ministry of Communication Technologies and Digital Economy recently invited Kassiri to meet with ministers, deputies, investors and entrepreneurs. The goal of this conference was to elaborate on talking points of a new law project introduced by DigiStartup, a new taskforce of Tunisian entrepreneurs.
The law project encompasses recommendations from the Tunisian entrepreneurial ecosystem addressed to the government to facilitate the process of creating and developing startups. Kassiri was invited to talk about his entrepreneurial journey while completing his studies.
Kassiri is one of many young Tunisian leaders who are starting to reshape the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Tunisia.
"This is just the beginning," he concluded. "We are aspiring to establish one of the most influential coding schools in the region. I want to be the proof that you can make it with dedication, hard work and a lot of passion."

Now that spring is upon us, it's time when many of us do a full spring clean of our home. Before I tackle a full spring clean, I make sure I declutter my space. A full spring clean is definitely more efficient once the space is decluttered. Did you know that 1/3 of all of our stuff isn't used? And 1/5 of our home is used for storage! Physical clutter ultimately leads to mental clutter and can increase stress levels, increase anxiety, and affect your overall health.
Clutter Culprits:1) Impulse Clutter: We all have it!!! These are the items we purchase by 'impulse' while out & about shopping. These are the blouses you buy and when you get home, you realized you have a handful of similar blouses and ultimately all of them are not even being worn now. These are the hand tools you buy because you can't find the ones you currently have.
How to tackle this clutter:
· Have a specific home for all items in your home
· Discard or donate any duplicates of items (hand tools, clothing, kitchen gadgets, etc.)
· Purge closets & storage area (check out our Spring Clean Your Closet post)
· Maintain a 1 in, 1 out habit – when you purchase a new article of clothing, discard or donate one. When you buy a new kitchen gadget or utensil, discard or donate the older duplicate.
2) Disposable Clutter: These are the items we hold on to thinking that we might need it or use it in the future and never do.
How to tackle this clutter:
· Discard any broken, damaged, outdated items
· Electronics – sell or discard any old phones, DVD players, computers, cords, etc. Check your municipal electronic disposal policy.
· Paperwork – every year when you do your taxes, shred and discard any old tax years (in Canada save for 7 years). Use your smart phone to make to-do lists, shopping lists, etc. in order to eliminate all of those post-it notes around your home/office
· Go through your entire fridge, freezer, & pantry and discard any expired food items
· Do not have a junk drawer – everything should have a place in the home. "Don't put it down, put it away" Peter Walsh, Organizing Guru
3) Emotional Clutter: These are the items we hold onto for sentimental reasons but end up taking up so much space that mentally it affects us in a negative way.
How to tackle this clutter:
· Gifts – if you receive something that you don't use, don't like or don't have the space to store, don't feel bad by donating them. I personally would not try selling an item I received as a gift, donating to a better home is my only option here.
· Collectables or items you inherited – there is no need to keep the entire collection of collectables. Select your favourite pieces of the collection and discard or donate any ones in disrepair and/or ones you have no connection with. Take pictures of entire collection for future memorabilia.
· Kid's crafts & drawings – I recommend picking your top 5 favourite pieces per year and display or place in journal. Take pictures of all the other wonderful creations your children create and then discard. Sort all these pictures on a key drive and can be easily viewed for future memorabilia.
4) Digital Clutter: In this day and age, we spend so much time on our computer & phone so doing a spring declutter on these items is equally important.
How to tackle this clutter:
· Unsubscribe to ALL spam, junk, unwanted emails. For the next couple of weeks, instead of just deleting all unwanted emails, be sure to click on email, scroll to bottom, and click on 'unsubscribe'. This might take you a couple extra minutes over the next couple of weeks, but will save you a lot of time and mental stress in the future.
· Social Media – Unfollow any negative nellies on your social media platforms. Negative energy on your feed just allows that energy to come into your life.
· Phones – clear photos off your phone at least monthly, organize and delete unwanted shots. Also, delete any unused apps on your phone.
· Computer Files – have minimal folders on your desktop. Break in to main areas and subdivide within the folder e.g. home, family, personal, business.
· Create non-digital times/boundaries with your family e.g. no phones at dinner time, family time, movie night, game night, etc. And be sure to put down your digital device 1 hour before bedtime.
Spring has sprung so it's time to get our space & mind decluttered and cleaned. For any assistance or questions with regards to decluttering your home, please contact us at (416)262-0609 we would be happy to help! Happy Spring!

self reliance, the new global reality
Keep an eye on Azerbaijan sitting on the border of Iran, where Israel has airfields and planes and pilots and undoubtedly munitions that could be a prime first strike force if Israel decides that Iran poses immediate threat. The government will meet, decide and the prime minister will say "go" all within a few days if not hours.
There will be a steady and direct line from assessing the danger, deciding to act and then acting.
Iran now knows that it can, with impunity, proceed to finish their dash toward nuclear capability with only Israel standing as a deterrent while at the same time being the target of their first attack.
The naiveté with which President Obama changed his mind about attacking Syria, while on a walk with his chief of staff, demonstrates clearly that it was done on a whim without taking a head count in Congress to see if he will get an ok from the Republican rebels in the house. And from reluctant democrats.
Unplanned changes of policy that had been so publicly declared in advance can only shout to the world that there is no United States policy about preventing and punishing flagrant violations of International treaties and norms.
Never mind grand coalitions come together to safeguard the people of the world from death and destruction, no question,from now on it's every country for itself.

Curate by Sotheby's International Realty(sm), powered by roOomy, Revolutionizes the Homebuying and Selling Experience for Sales Associates and Consumers
Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC today announced the launch of Curate by Sotheby's International Realty, a mobile augmented reality (AR) app that will bring a home's virtual staging images from 2-D perception into augmented reality.
"Buying a house is not only a significant financial decision, but is also deeply personal and emotional. Introducing an augmented reality component to the homebuying experience takes the consumer on a personal journey that allows them to see a house transformed into a home, their home, through the magic of technology." – John Passerini, global vice president of interactive marketing, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC
The app was built with ARCore, Google's AR Software platform, and is powered by roOomy, the leading virtual staging technology platform specializing in 3D/AR/VR content creation and application development. Curate by Sotheby's International Realty allows consumers to visualize a house as their own before purchase, thereby curating the homebuying experience. Working closely with Google in the run up to ARCore's release, the Sotheby's International Realty® brand is the first real estate brand to launch and implement a virtual staging AR app, transforming the homebuying and selling experience for sales associates and consumers.
"ARCore enables augmented reality capabilities on 100 million Android devices across the ecosystem, bringing new possibilities to today's mobile phones. We're thrilled to work with the Sotheby's International Realty brand on this experience, which can help redefine the way real estate is sold." – Adrienne McCallister, senior director, Google AR Business Development
Curate by Sotheby's International Realty is taking virtually staged images from a flat, 2-D screen into the house itself through the power of AR. The app also features a curated selection of AR interior designs, ranging from modern living rooms to traditional dining rooms that provides the consumer with the opportunity to immediately swap among these styles, something physical staging could never accomplish.
"Curate by Sotheby's International Realty solves visualization problems without making costly, time-intensive and cumbersome changes to the physical space." – John Passerini
Curate by Sotheby's International Realty is available now for download in the Google Play Store. The app was built with Google's ARCore, which can run on 100 million Android devices worldwide. The Sotheby's International Realty brand will launch Curate by Sotheby's International Realty for iOS this spring through a continued partnership with roOomy.

If you are a newcomer to the world of email marketing, you might wonder what the big deal is about "email deliverability". You write an email, input the recipient's email address, and click "Send". You expect it to land in front of your recipient in seconds. Simple, right? Unfortunately, when you send an email to hundreds or thousands of addressees, not all of them are going to receive it. In fact, it is common for as much as 10% to miss out on your message.
There are a number of reasons why an email might not reach its intended destination including bounces and anti-spam measures. "Bounces" refers to an email that gets sent but not received due to technical reasons. These usually occur for accidental reasons. Anti-spam measures, on the other hand, are deliberate preventions of email
To avoid bounces and anti-spam measures, make sure to follow these guidelines:
Become a trusted sender. This is the most important way to beat anti-spam measures. Encourage your subscribers to put your "From Address" on their trusted sender list.
Understand email filters. Avoid using language and techniques in your "From" and "Subject" lines that might look like spam to a content-based spam filter. This includes excessive punctuation, incomplete information, or misleading or missing "Subject" lines.
Analyze your bouncebacks. Fortunately, Email Contact provides statistics about the number of bounces that occur for each of your sent newsletters. Make sure you take the time to analyze these bounces and make the necessary changes to your subscriber lists.
Honor "opt-out" requests. Unfortunately, even the best email marketing campagins will receive unsubscribe requests. Make sure you quickly remove these addresses to uphold the integrity of your company.
Your email deliverability is essential for maintaining a successful subscriber list and in turn, running a successful email campaign. After all, it is much less expensive to market to an existing customer than it is to acquire a new one.
For more information about this subject, see 5 Tips to Increase Your Email Deliverability.

Lisa G
Have had nothing but positive experience working with R&S. Brittany is the front end of the company and does a great job representing company. friendly, pleasant and helpful. Provides accurate information and follows up as she says.
Sean H.
I had R and S come out to my house for the second time in the last couple of years to fix an issue with our heating system, and they were able to show up quickly and promptly and fix the issue the same day. The folks I have dealt with at R and S have all been very friendly and helpful in explaining the two issues with our heater thus far. We've had very good experiences and would definitely recommend to other homeowners.
Mancy M.
I would recommend R & S Mechanical at any time for those who are looking for professionalism and ability to make a major job look like it's a minor one. I contacted R & S as one of 5 suppliers and service companies to install a new unit in my house. Even though price was a factor, but I was also looking to work with an organization that would be honest and caring. I did find such values with R & S. They were the only one out of the five who actually called to follow up on their offer and ensure that everything was well explained and clear. Absolutely great guys and they made sure to keep the place clean after they left. I definitely made the right choice.
Jennifer R.
I have dealt with R&S since I moved to Raleigh four years ago and they have taken consistently good care of my HVAC units. They are prompt, professional, courteous and definitely pick up after themselves. They even call me to schedule regular maintenance that comes with my service contract instead of me having to remember. I can get an appointment very quickly if something breaks on me and they always arrive early. I'm overall very satisfied.
Gail S.
I have always been pleased with their service. They are quick to respond, even on weekends. I would definitely recommend them.
Carol C.
Our overall experience with R&S has been exceptional. We have been homeowners for over 30 years and have never had better service, concern and respect as we have received from R&S. Highly recommend.
Barb and Jerry
Our AC system failed on a Friday afternoon at our Daughter's condo. Shortly after our call, Randy and Mike came to our condo, diagnosed the unit and loaned us portable cooling units over the weekend. They installed a new system and got us up and running the following Tuesday. Their prices and service were great! Very responsive, very straight forward, no hard sell unlike the big companies. Highly recommended - excellent service!

Mayer Alan Brenner's "The Dance of Gods" series was published by DAW Books in the 1990s. A witty and intelligent science / fantasy crossover, Pratchett meets Zelazny meets Douglas Adams, it also
prefigures Charles Stross in interesting ways. The series follows a cluster of raffish characters through overlapping and colliding story lines in a wonderfully realized world.
"The humour was never farcical, always intelligent, but there was a certain madcap, slyness to it which I haven't experienced in fantasy for quite a while. Some scenes had me laughing out loud -- not good when traveling with a bunch of strangers, but a perfect remedy to Life..."
-- The Book Swede
The plot thickens and larger issues may be at stake in the second book of Mayer Alan Brenner's "Dance of Gods" series. Originally published by DAW Books, the books are a witty and intelligent science / fantasy crossover.
"A winner ... I was utterly hooked. Its not a belly-laugh-inducing parody of a fantasy so much as an off-the-wall kind of fantasy in its own right..." --Interzone
Plot-lines collide and family secrets are revealed in the third book of Mayer Alan Brenner's "Dance of Gods" series. Originally published by DAW Books, the books are a witty and intelligent science / fantasy crossover.
"Ya gotta love a series with a hero named 'Maximillian the Vaguely Disreputable'. READ THIS SERIES, shouts your FAQmaker, it's fast and furious, and fun..." -- The Recommended Fantasy Author List
I have to say that being a new-comer to Doctorow's work I was hooked from the first page. This is an extremely entertaining, rich, clever, engaging and well-written collection and the stories cover a mixture of topics and characters. -- Laura Kane, SF Crow's Nest
"In the true spirit of Walt Disney, Doctorow has ripped a part of our common culture, mixed it with a brilliant story, and burned into our culture a new set of memes that will be with us for a generation at least." -- Lawrence Lessig - Author, The Future of Ideas
"Doctorow has created a rich and exciting vision of the future, and then wrote a page-turner of a story in it. I couldn't put the book down." -- Bruce Schneier - Author, Secrets and Lies
"Cory Doctorow is just far enough ahead of the game to give you that authentic chill of the future, and close enough to home for us to know that he's talking about where we live as well as where we're going to live; a connected world full of disconnected people. One of whom is about to lobotomise himself through the nostril with a pencil. Funny as hell and sharp as steel." -- Warren Ellis, Author of Transmetropolitan
"Utterly contemporary and deeply peculiar -- a hard combination to beat (or, these days, to find)." -- William Gibson, Author of Neuromancer
I'd recommend Little Brother over pretty much any book I've read this year, and I'd want to get it into the hands of as many smart 13 year olds, male and female, as I can.
Because I think it'll change lives. Because some kids, maybe just a few, won't be the same after they've read it. Maybe they'll change politically, maybe technologically. Maybe it'll just be the first book they loved or that spoke to their inner geek. Maybe they'll want to argue about it and disagree with it. Maybe they'll want to open their computer and see what's in there. I don't know. It made me want to be 13 again right now and reading it for the first time, and then go out and make the world better or stranger or odder. It's a wonderful, important book, in a way that renders its flaws pretty much meaningless.
-- Neil Gaiman, author of ANASI BOYS
A worthy younger sibling to Orwell's 1984, Cory Doctorow's LITTLE BROTHER is lively, precocious, and most importantly, a little scary.
-- Brian K Vaughn, author of Y: THE LAST MAN

All is Lost
Robert Redford stars by himself as a man lost at sea. Despite his resourcefulness, the aged sailor is forced to deal with the possibility that these may be his last moments alive. This is the second feature by writer and director J. C. Chandor, who impressed critics with his Oscar-nominated debut Margin Call. Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner's intuition and a strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest.

Current and former staffers for soon-to-step-down House Majority Leader Eric Cantor flooded into the Tune Inn Wednesday for a semi-private shindig featuring some heartfelt sobs, a few laughs and lots of Jameson.
The aides assembled at the Capitol Hill watering hole shortly before the Virginia Republican took to TV to announce that he would be relinquishing his leadership post , but not his seat, as of July 31. Cantor suffered a bruising defeat at the hands of tea party candidate Dave Brat on Tuesday night.
Once the news conference was over, the commiserators wiped away their tears and immediately opened their wallets — ponying up $500 and $1,000 apiece in order to cover the $6,500 required to have the bar to themselves from 6 p.m. 'til closing.
The playlist was straight '90s and 2000s rock (Creed, Guns and Roses, Candlebox) — you know, when music mattered. And life was still good.

The wait is finally over, and if the premiere is any indication of what's to come, then Season Two of HBO's Game Of Thrones is going to be well worth the ten-month hiatus. As if there was any way it wouldn't be, right? The season opener, "The North Remembers," is in large part a table-setting episode that services all of the many various factions plotting after the Iron Throne. Yes, war is definitely coming.
Robb And Bran Stark Man Up
Last season's most memorable moment was definitely the beheading of up-until-then protagonist Ned Stark (Sean Bean), and in the wake of his historically shocking death the time has come for his young sons to step up. Robb (Richard Madden) is leading the Northern army and attempting to declare their secession from the seven kingdoms. In between debating alliances with Renly Baratheon (late King Robert's younger brother, played by Gethin Anthony) and the rebellious Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide), he stops to assert his newfound leadership over the captive Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Despite his battle strategy and political savvy, Robb's self-consciousness about his age may end up resulting in some very poor decision-making.
Meanwhile, the task of settling the day-to-day affairs of Winterfell falls with young Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), who's still experiencing prophetic visions while he sleeps. Just what are we supposed to make of that recurring comet, anyway? Is it truly to herald the return of the dragons, like Bran's handmaiden predicts?
Daenerys Targaryen And Jon Snow Hit Bumps In Their Respective Journeys
Speaking of dragons, things aren't going so well for Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). Her three aces in the hole are still powerless infants, her people and horses are dying of thirst, and they're surrounded by desert and more desert. In her only scene of the episode, Dany sends three scouts off in search of shelter, while Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) continues to have a blatant old man crush on her (oh, and he gives really good advice, too).
Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) search for his missing uncle beyond the wall is in similar, stagnant shape. The trail leads the Night Watch to a particularly nasty fellow who runs a small village where each of his daughters are also his wives, and he's of utterly no help in the search for Benjen. He does, however, mention a mysterious man referring to himself as King of all lands beyond the wall. Is the game of thrones about to have yet another player?
Stannis Sends A Chain Letter
Our introduction to Stannis (Stephen Dillane) is an enticing one. His chief advisor is Melisandre (Carice van Houten), a new-age priestess who blasphemes against the original religion and preaches of one singular god. She's hyping Stannis up to go against his younger brother, Renly, and take the throne, even though his numbers are minuscule, a decision the rest of his team silently opposes. The one public voice of dissent is so desperate that he tries to take Melisandre out on some murder-suicide ish. He succeeds at the suicide part, while Melisandre laughs in his face and chugs a goblet full of poison-laced wine like it's ambrosia. We like her already.
Stannis's first step in overtaking the Lannisters is to not make the same foolish mistakes as Ned did when he kept vital information close to the vest. Thus he sends out a (carefully edited) Westeros style chain letter to everyone of importance, exposing Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jaime's incestuous love thing, and, by extension, the bastardly nature of Joffrey (Jack Gleeson). As if we needed confirmation that that kid is a bastard.
"What is it they say about Lannisters and debts?"
The Lannisters have the whole world aiming at their heads these days, in addition to internal family strife. You didn't think the most ruthless family in the seven kingdoms would back down, though, did you? All of "The North Remembers" featured the top Lannister schemers making bold power plays, lest anyone forget who runs this shit.
Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) the imp, who in Ned's stark absence is the only person really worth rooting for, is eager to pass the black sheep torch-of-shame to his sister for her many fuck-ups involving the Stark family, while Joffrey continues his transformation into mad sociopath, to the point of making his own mother shake her head in shame at the monster she's enabled.
The most terrifying display of power comes at the hands of none other than Cersei herself, not to be outdone by Joffrey just yet. First, she lets Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) know that anyone can get it anytime, because her word is law now. And when Stannis sets the streets on fire with his scarlet letter, Cersei has every Baratheon bastard, technically of more right to the the throne than Joffrey, murdered in cold blood. Yes, even the infant whore-child we met last year.
This power move also puts a very public hit out on the bastard child who's traveling with the young, incognito Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), currently en route to The Wall. The Lannisters may have many enemies, but when they're on the defensive, they are more dangerous and brutal than ever.

How much of a joke things can be?
I have been sort of expecting a death experience (see mystic death) after various journeys where I felt something else coming out through me…
Tonight I was alone, working with LSD, expecting to see what would happen this time, whether I could finally push further and enter my visions or if I still had another fear to identify.
It was Sunday night, the field where I was was gorgeous: a knee high soft grass was covering the ground, a rather unsusual thing in the region regarding the dryness of the climate. A couple of ponds were keeping the humidity locally higher. I set up my camp under an acacia tree, just by a big limestone boulder. No moon, a clear sky, a soft warm breeze blowing down… but that sunday night party echoing in the valley forced me to wait til almost midnight beforeI could get started.
- I started a timid fire to dry my drum and here we go… and yep, there is another fear to uncover… -
How do I know?
Easy. Like always I start to get attack by weird energies, entering through my fear. Ok, so what is it again that I am afraid of? Why am I attacking myself?
I try to feel where the fear gets in, remembering my last experience with San pedro. Things are being very similar with my last journeys. What happened back then that got me out of it was that I accepted a part of myself… but couldnt really face the whole reality of it.
So here with easy deduction, I realized that I was simply scared of myself, that it was my own energy attacking me!!
Why? What is it that I don't want to see?
Of course I knew, but still I did have to allow myself to confess it…Then like everytime a revelation comes through, I feel like opening some secret doors and hear myself whispering from an other place: I am scared to be a monster!!!!
What? A monster! What do I mean? But…Why? What have I done? Did I do something wrong? Have I hurt somebody, did something terrible? Do I hold guilt, something very deep?
Welcome to the world of Grotesque Confusion where the Ridicule can almost kill you hahaha
Ok, until know, things where going "on track", until…
Until I start focusing on death again (that death experience was really hanging in my mind)… and totally misunderstood the message of the Spirits.
I deduced that I was afraid of myself because that I am scared to be dead… BECAUSE I WAS DEAD!!! :/
- Ok, just to back up my stupidity, a little note: I do believe in life after death. From the Seth teaching, he explains that when somebody dies, he just changes framework. In the new one, he still creates his reality only that this time there is no inertia, its instantenous. So what happens is that some people keep living "their life" in the dream world until they finally want to accept their previous death and move on. Actually, some spirits look after them and set whole plots to slowly "wake them up". I thought it was my case!!! –
Too much psychic molecules, too much mind fantasies and beliefs in whatnots and here I am, confessing my own death trying to remember when was it that I died (remember that I am journeying and that the landscape is not really "stable"!).
Maybe take a few seconds to laugh now!!!! I won't event tell you all the probable deaths I've seen ( I think I've explored some probable life I had where I died, especially one where I commited scuscide, something I actually very lightly "fantazied" as a broken hearted kid!!)
Anyways, I was DEEPLY DECEPTIVE again, for not being able to pursue my dreams in that life, looking at all my beautiful projects falling appart, MY LIFE!!! – CONCEPTUALLY SHOCKING – seeing your own future crumbling under your feet, which made me realize also how much of a Future Self we Presently are!
To hell, I thought I was to experience a Mystic death, where the identification behind the "I" dies, where the sudden disappearance of ego definition shines the light upon the mysterious reality of our essence hanging upon a Will for Value Fulfillment… not ME in the scenario of MY life!!
After that deadly terrific realization, NOTHING HAPPENED…shouldn't I change plane, move to another state, choose another life blabbalabla but no, I was still Stupid Sebastien in my Dead or Alive body!!
Actually all along the experience, I could feel that something was off track, that "death" was having a weird vibration, but who knows how vibrates death??
Back to the beginning….
So I am scared to be a monster…I start to follow my fears again and KABOOOM… quickly transform myself into a GIGANTIC UGLY WILD VOCIFEROUS AND NASTY BEAST!!!!
What now?? Am I REALLY a monster, I mean LITTERALLY???????? It looks like it!
The experience become too intense for me so that I could really go along and mutate myslef into , what it appears, I really am - WEIRDNESS is now getting WEIRDER!!!
Why would I be a monster, I don't wanna be a monster. Is it my spirit? A joke of my inner self? All these questions now buzzing my mind, how am I supposed to integrate that?
But the feeling is compelling, for when I turn into it I FEEL ME, the identification is obvious, the attacks disappear, more power comes along with a stronger sense of existance!!
Heading back home with the morning light shining up high, dawn feeling more dull than ever, my little planet is shocked, the definiton of my identity highly questionned,bringing with it the groundless effect of a new mind blowing evidence that my spìritual warrior is fighting to label properly without loosing too much integrity…
I always thought that we were everything and yet nothing. I was maybe expecting to meet an appearance standing for my spirit…BUT THAT ONE NO!
To make things even more glorious, I realize that the field where I was journeying was full of tiny little horrible monstruous blood sucking ticks that I generously carried home by the bucket RHAAA!!!
Debriefing time with Mr Tupac
He cracked up a good time and told me "ahah, they showed you your monster, GOOD!!"
After a good chat, I started understanding better wat happened and was now being able to integrate it all. Although I couldn't really follow through the experience but rather just barely catch a glimpse of it, I started to feel good and happy having stepped further into the mysterious existance of our spiritual essence. I aso realized that some peace had gained my being and had the best sleep I've ever got for a looong time!
Now if you feel more confused than anything and didn't get much understanding of what happened, maybe you are getting a closer look of how I came out of that journey !

We all know the story about that Cinderella chick who went from rags to riches in a matter of days. Who we don't know about is Maggie Rogers, a cool young adult actually from this generation with a similar fairytale storyline.
Earlier in March, Pharrell Williams (the fairy godmother of this story) hosted a masterclass for music students at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Pharrell met and thoroughly critiqued every student in the masterclass. Every student except for one.
Introducing Maggie Rogers, a regular post-secondary student who's just trying to figure out who she is. Growing up on the east side of Maryland as a banjo player, Rogers describes herself as an outdoorsy girl with a love for folk music. Somewhere during her time at NYU, Rogers stopped making music. It wasn't until a studying abroad in France and experiencing the country's foreign dance music that Rogers rediscovered her musical passion and found herself in Pharrell's masterclass.
After introducing herself and talking about her love for music, Rogers jumped straight into showing the musical genius of her latest project, "Alaska." As soon as the introductory banjo sounds of "Alaska" began, Pharrell couldn't help but turn his neutral expression into one of pure awe. Rogers took little notice, continuing to bob her head to the music. When the piece ended, Pharrell had only praise for it.
Thanks to Pharrell's shocked expression and the Internet, Rogers has gone viral. Millions of people now consider themselves fans of the small town girl with a goal of combining the natural sounds of folk music and the uptempo energy of dance music.
With a newly solidified relationship with Mick Management, Rogers has announced an upcoming EP and an accompanying music video for "Alaska."
If Pharrell is Rogers' fairy godmother, then the Internet is this new artist's prince. Check out the full video of Pharrell's masterclass below, and jump to the 18-minute mark to see the magical moment when he meets Maggie Rogers.

Becoming a German passport is too much of a hurdle for immigrants
The German Government introduced a test as one of the requirements for everyone that wants to become German citizenship. The test represents one of the many hurdles for potential German citizenship applicants. According to many experts if the country wants to attract more foreigners, immigration barriers have to be lowered. The German citizenship contains 33 questions. Many critics claim that those questions are clumsily formulated and include too much detail. It is difficult for immigrants who have limited access of education and have problems with understanding high level of German language. This may lead certain group of immigrants to be scared of applying for German citizenship. Initially, the number of naturalizations fell in Germany after the introduction of the test. For the last four years they have risen, though. Last year, 112,000 immigrants were naturalized, an increase of five percent on 2011.
The economic stability in Germany has attracted a large number of foreigners in the recent years. Many of them want to become naturalized citizens. People that come for countries that are hardly hit by the European debt crisis are especially interested in becoming a german passport. The number of Greeks who acquired a German passport last year rose 80 percent; Italian-Germans increased by 30 percent. Many of those are highly qualified young immigrants and their naturalization may bring a lot of benefits for the German economy. With professionals needed in many industries, the German government has reinforced efforts to attract qualified migrant workers. Through targeted advertisements, some states are encouraging migrants to obtain a German passport. The slogan, "Ja, ich will," – "Yes, I'd like to" – is emblazoned across billboards and flyers throughout North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's largest state.
Visa First is a leading immigration consulting company. We can help you to apply for your German visa fast and hassle-free today.

The decline of the postdoc population and research enterprise sustainability
A recent paper published in the FASEB Journal presents data demonstrating the population of postdoctoral scholars at degree-granting institutions peaked in 2010 and has been declining through 2013. These data are derived from the National Science Foundation's annual Survey of Graduate Students and Postdoctorates. The data show that the decline in the number of postdocs at U.S. degree-granting institutions has occurred for international and domestic postdocs as well as men and women, although, the decline is steepest among U.S. men. Furthermore, this decline is happening despite a steady increase in Ph.D.s awarded over that time frame.
While the trend of postdoc employment in degree-granting institutions is clear, the trend for the overall postdoc population is a little murkier. Estimates for the total number of postdocs in the U.S. range from 39,000 to nearly 90,000. As noted by the authors, the data reported by the GSS do not capture the trends of postdoc employment outside of degree-granting institutions. This leads to the question of what does a 5 percent reduction in the postdoc population at degree-granting institutions mean in the context of a total postdoc population that may fluctuate by almost 2-fold?
Dr. Howard Garrison, director of public affairs for the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology and lead author on the study said, "We are describing a rate, not estimating a point. Our estimates come from a robust survey of a vital and central segment of the research labor force. The decline is real and important. It is indeed possible that the situation is different for the other parts of the labor force (government and free standing research institutions that do not offer degrees), but I would suspect that the situation is similar."
So then where are the postdocs going? The authors assert that immigration policies or a change in the nomenclature of postdoc positions are not responsible for the observed trends. Rather, the authors suggest that a combination of newly minted Ph.D.s opting to skip a postdoc, fewer postdoc opportunities, shortened postdoc periods as well as the well-documented reduction of purchasing power of grants has contributed to the decline of the postdoc population. Of further concern is that the unemployment rate of Ph.D.s within four years of receiving their degree was well above the unemployment rate for all Ph.D.s in 2012. This trend will require close inspection in future surveys.
Postdoc employment in the larger context of the size, scope and composition of the biomedical research workforce will be one of the major topics of discussion when the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology convenes a summit in February. This meeting will build off of the Public Affairs Advisory Committee's paper published in July in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The goal of this summit is to devise and begin work on implementable plans to improve the sustainability of the research enterprise.
Stay tuned to the ASBMB Policy Blotter for more information about the society's work on moving toward a sustainable biomedical research enterprise.

[chorus 4X]
"Yes" "My styles is wild"
"Our fills is all about skills"
"I get wild"
[Mr. Brady]
I got some muscle in your step
Cause yo I step behind
Steppin' lightly with no footprints oh...
I didn't know you and your peers practice
Abstinence I'ma take it well
Fuck his light bomb twice
Have a craving appetite for
Delicious Vinyl
But you make me lose my appetite
It tastes more tical
Whe I raise it up a pole
14 Shotguns for my stanza
I tell you what
Takin' small doses
Its not important it's
That's when your neck starts nodding
And your head starts turning on control the vol
Got folks on my shows
Intoxicated vibing
An when the flo' broadens
Start translating through the noggin
To those that's batlike
Putting their best work in at night
Graveyard shift
When my partners do things
To make the front of your pants wet
Be wetting when you dream
Dousing you tools with kerosene
Exploding like TNT self detonate
I'm making my way around by public trnsportation
That's why you hardly eveer see me at
Other people's shows (why)
'Cause thats somewhere that the
Bus probably doesn't go
(fuck it up and here we go)
I set aside time for practice
Ranging annual to daily
Rhymes classic like the captain
Album beats crash like its hailing
The agenda of failing
It's like the subway derailing
I amtrak paving the way for destinations
Yo the nation don't know half
The diction that we're spittin'
Interweaving like a ball of yarn
Formed into a mitten
I'm low-key know to flip facts from paperbacks
Or hardcovers discovery channel make you see flannel
When I'm finished call me Evidence
Always rock the mic phat
I write with my right but either handed with a bat
Yo I see through fakes
Who's styles that's not opaque
While I'm taking K from Cali to Great Lake
Yo from every rhyme I write
Cats could find a thousand quotes
There's too many skilled rappers
Out of touch like Hall and Oates
True my slyle's wild but didn't happen overnight
This is Evidence and Brady
Shady kids can't keep their sight
[Mr. Brady]
Dead nimrods get flushed like menopause
I got got sweatsuits on your skull
Trying to follow along
Way past blond, Hydroplaning
Explaining your disposition
Poll position and an excessive wind draft
Hyperventilating your cardiovasc
Tend to be the last
I'm greeting a card disk
'Cause my life is heartless\\
And I'm kind of like a surgeon when I purge it
???????? with a squeeze from my palm
It gets withered and Phyllis Diller when I'm high
I was pushed out of light sockets electrified for my birth
ZZZbillion megahertz
Acrobatic Jackie Chan on the mic
Taking knowledge of undergrowth
With dead skin under my nails
From when your neck choked
To an artichoke mind of state of a vegetable
I guess its edible if you're a carcass
Lying there in the street gutterless
Laying minds with no skills in your your beak
