Google's new smartphone, the G1 Android, is being released today. I'm closer now to buying a smartphone than I've ever been, but I'm still probably going to put it off.
The Upside: It's much cheaper to own than Apple's iPhone, both for the equipment and for the plan. It's got a big ol' screen, a trackball, and a slide-out keyboard, which I think I might like better than the iPhone's virtual keyboard.
The Downside: It only works on T-Mobile, which not only isn't my plan (and I'm perfectly happy with AT&T), but also has a slow data network compared to other carriers. Not something you'd want in an Internet-capable phone.
Despite it's low price tag, I think I'll wait until the Google phone branches out to other providers. Besides, as I'm sure it pains the makers of the iPhone to recall, it can only get cheaper.
UPDATE: Wired is not impressed.

There's more to a live online video event than just the video. If your brand wants to build some excitement around an event, you'll need to start well ahead of time.
At the recent Streaming Forum conference in London, Chris Dabbs, CEO of Streaming Tank, delivered a master class on building social buzz around live events. Successfully marketing an event means managing all the elements around the event.
"It used to be down to the best production and the best streaming, but now it is so much more than that," Dabbs said. "As well as the main event, you really now need to be looking at everything which is happening before the event, during the event, and after the event. It is very much about the conversation — rather than just the linear approach — the conversation between you or your brand to the target audience. Now, much more important is actually the conversation that they're having back with you, and even more important is the conversation they're having with each other."
Use your company's social network accounts strategically before, during, and after an event. Social networks help create that conversation.
"We have social brains. We like to share, we like to be shared to, we like to be given advice on things," Dabbs continued. "Luckily, we have the social networks, and there is more and more of them popping up, most of which are video- and non-video-enabled, but you can make the best use of both of the video- and non-video-enabled social networks to be able to achieve a number of different things."
Those goals include improving long-term brand recall. Marketers can do this by starting their campaigns early, getting viewers to interact with content during the event, and getting them to share content with others. Do this and there's a much greater chance they'll recall the brand two weeks after the event.
For more on live online video event marketing, watch the full video below. Dabbs gave his presentation via Skype, and the beginning of the video has some sound issues, so jump to the four-minute mark.

Summertime means hot weather and hot weather means that I do not like to do anything that heats up my kitchen unnecessarily. So, I am always looking for quick and easy recipes, especially for desserts, that do not require an oven.
The recipe I have for you today is a fun and delicious take on a no bake cookie. It is quick and easy to make and does not use the oven.
Double Chocolate No Bake Cookie Bars
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 5-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding (4 serving size, dry mix only)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
- In a large pan combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a full boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in chocolate chips and dry pudding mix. Stir until the chips have melted.
- Stir in the vanilla and oats until well combined.
- Spread the mixture onto a jelly roll pan or a cookie sheet with sides. I use an 11x14 inch pan.
- Refrigerate until cookies are set. Cut into bars.

Shamstep Comes to Berlin
Music is pretty much synonymous with Berlin. It's where musicians come to make their mark and where party-goers flock to revel in the diversity of the selection that Berlin has to offer. Some might find it a little difficult to find exactly what they're looking for, Berlin might be diverse but at times the diversity seems to apply to the genres of House or Techno music that can be found in abundance around the city. It's especially difficult if you're into Arab music, other than the generic posters for Arabic Pop stars found on Sonnenallee store fronts, you'll be hard pressed to find Arab artists in Berlin.
Eh Eh Eh Music wants to change that. The project, which launched in summer 2015, is run by a Berlin-based collective and managed by Louna Sbou. Their aim is to connect local communities and audiences with the very best of Arab art, culture and independent music. The collective has collaborated with MARSM (a UK events company) to bring 47 Soul to Berlin for the very first time.
After their soft launch in the summer, the team began booking a diverse range of artists from the Middle East including Youssra El Hawary from Egypt, 47 Soul from Jordan/Palestine and have already hosted Habibi Band from Syria and Kabreet from Yemen and Germany.
Louna wants to bring the unique music that these artists have to offer to a wider audience. "Unfortunately, many talents in the Arab world don't get the attention they deserve and we want to change that."
"We look for artists with a strong passion for their work, who are revolutionizing what is often perceived as 'Arab' music while still embracing their cultural heritage."
That perfectly describes 47 Soul. Formed in Amman, Jordan in 2013 and based in London, UK, the band combines analog synthesizers with traditional Arabic beats undercut with an electric underground sound calling it Shamstep. It's something unheard of in the Middle East where traditional music is still king and contemporary pop the queen.
A collaboration of four Palestinian artists, Walaa Sbeit (percussion), Tareq Abu Kweik (percussion), Ramzy Suleiman (keys and electronics) and Hamza Arnaout (electronics and guitar). All the members contribute to vocals on the tracks.
The name 47 Soul refers to the year where freedom of movement between Bilad Al Sham (land of the Levant) was still commonplace. "You would get in the car and go between Amman, Jerusalem, Damascus and Beirut. That's the symbol we uphold," says Walaa.
"47 Soul is an extraordinary band delivering an important message," says Louna. "We saw their first show in Amman in 2013 and it was unforgettable. We've followed their development ever since, they've toured the world and played in sold-out venues and we feel that now is the right time to host them for their first ever show in Berlin."
They've notoriously spoken about the bureaucratic struggles that make touring for their group difficult. When asked about their future plans that band mentioned the obstacles they face, "we just want to tour more, spread our music and solve the visa problems that people like us have to face. We want to be able to be around and more available for all the people who want to see us, rather than having to deal with the struggle of bureaucracy."
"We just want to make honest music, be who we are and stay true to our roots. To be an honest artist with the opportunity to share messages with the world comes with responsibilities. But, that's not the main function. We want the people to dance, feel our music and we want it to remain honest. We are not politicians, we are musicians."
The mix of English and Arabic lyrics alongside the upbeat dance music has branched out their popularity among western audiences too, "the impact of the mix makes a difference because it's good to have a variety of people being able to understand what we are saying. We use English and Arabic, it's not about the literal language, it's about expressing ourselves honestly," explains Ramzy.
It is relevant that the band's first show in Berlin comes during a time where there's a spotlight on immigration. The show has been opened to refugees for free as a sign of solidarity with the struggles they're going through and a scroll through their Facebook page is evidence of how much the music resonates with those that understand the band's message.
So what's next for 47 Soul after Berlin? Their passion for music, though hindered by visa restrictions, is what drives them and what makes them so popular with both Arab and Western fans alike. University tours in Palestine are planned after the Berlin show and new tracks are being written for release soon. It looks like Shamstep is here to stay, not a bad thing if you like to get your dance on.
The band is playing at Yaam on 22 September at 8pm and limited tickets will be available at the door.

You've probably heard of—or know someone with—horrific allergies to latex, some involving seizures. It's like peanuts: Some folks are insanely sensitive. (I know someone who has an unusually bad reaction to both, actually, among other things.)
There are entire medical facilities, now, that are latex-free. That's due to people who can't even handle trace amounts of latex in the air, like I react to strawberries. (And the protein that people usually react to in strawberries is also found in latex and other things, but evidently that's not what I react to in strawberries.)
What do those latex-free facilities use? Nitrile. Unless they're one of the extremely rare facilities where 1. a nurse has developed an allergy and 2. the administration believes the nurse about that allergy (which is uncommon, because folks dislike admitting that fixing one problem has only caused another).
Problem #1: Most medical practitioners don't even know that the gloves they're using are nitrile.
Problem #2: Nitrile gloves are now following the pattern of latex ones, wherein first some nurses started developing allergies; then with the common usage, medical personnel started claiming the gloves harmed them; then the administrators insisted the allergy was due to the powder in the gloves—complicated by the detail that the administrators were sometimes correct; and gradually the genuinely allergic medical personnel proved that no, they weren't idiots.
Problem #3: That pattern probably has a good decade or more before it plays out, as far as nitrile is concerned.
Problem #4: The other alternative, vinyl, will doubtless follow the same pattern when it gets popular.
Problem #5: A patient carrying his or her own gloves for medical personnel to use is a risk, both for the personnel—who can't be sure the gloves are medical grade—and for fellow patients—who could have a hypersensitivity to the rubber the glove-carrier has.
Okay, so I carry a mini box (unopened) of medical-grade vinyl gloves in my purse, marked on all sides with "ICE", with my allergy also listed in my phone. But I'm well aware that, in case of an emergency that renders me unconscious, I'll probably wake up after medical personnel are wondering what's making my skin flake off like dried glue.
I haven't heard of anyone yet with a hypersensitivity to vinyl, though I'm sure they exist. I just pray I don't meet that person.
People allergic to cleaners and soaps also have issues with medical care. After those issues I mentioned that I have with standard, over-the-counter soap, imagine what happens when I encounter that tough antibacterial soap that's in every hospitals (which was a stupid move, biologically speaking—they at least should have switched out antibacterial types every month or week to keep them effective, rather than killing off all the bacteria they worked on so only the resistant strains remained to breed).
Yeah. Not fun.
Then there's the other type of allergies, probably the most common type: allergies to medicines. I'm allergic to acetaminophen. My mother has to avoid aspirin (and might be allergic to acetaminophen, too). My brother's allergic to penicillin and sulfa and all related medications. One of my friends can't have ibuprofen.
Someone once told me about a time when she went to the doctor for pain. She had symptoms of an allergy to the acetaminophen-based medicine they gave her, so they gave her yet another acetaminophen-based medicine—not once, but twice!
Seriously. I can't help but wonder what those medical personnel were thinking. "Hey, she's evidently allergic to this one, so let's give her a related medicine!" (What…the…[expletive deleted].)
I mean, I'm careful to track down my painkiller herbs to see what medicines they're related to, and I clearly mark that on my bag. I will never give my mother white willow bark or meadowsweet root, because both contain a chemical that's in aspirin. If she wants to try it on her own, fine. But I won't hand it to her.
I'll even ask if someone's allergic to fish before I hand 'em something with GMO corn, though it's highly unlikely that someone allergic to fish will be allergic to the specific plasmid that was taken from a fish and put into corn. Just in case.
But that's the weird thing about hospitals. It's frightening how often I have to repeat my allergies to medical personnel who are supposed to know to take these things seriously. I've been patronized, all but called a hypochondriac, asked how I know I'm allergic to something (in a disbelieving way, not a curious one)…
My mother once happened to be me once to witness a nurse's passive-aggressive, "I have to open these expensive surgical gloves." Mom was appalled, more so when I shrugged and found the comment mild.
To be fair, I do know doctors and nurses who actually listen and like my scientific approach to my symptoms and their causes. (Not uncommon: Walking into the doctor's office with a list of symptoms to hand the doctor, including potential causes for problems I already know I'm having.) And those folks are often appalled themselves when I thank them for not being condescending.
And I must admit that one of the two times I was poisoned after a surgery seems to have been caused by the hospital mixing up my prescription with someone else's. (The other case was an example of Murphy's Law. I can only guess that the surgeon was having a bad few months, because I've been told by nurses who've worked with him that he's very competent in surgery, he was a bit snappish when his one nurse displayed potential incompetence in front of him—and she also screwed up my allergy list on my medical file. Correcting that took a good five minutes of arguing.)
Allergies to medicines can effect people (and characters) in interesting ways. Did you know penicillin is bread mold? Imagine how that affects people who are hungry and only have moldy bread to eat. Eat the bread and suffer from the allergy—which can be debilitating or life-threatening—or not eat it and starve—which can also be life-threatening?
But food allergies—and how long I think I'd last in case of an apocalypse—are a topic for another day.
Do you have any allergies that affect your medical care? Have you known anyone with severe medical allergies? Have you read or written any characters with medical allergies?

At Empower Triathlon, we strive to empower athletes to reach fitness and race goals this season and exceed them the next. We believe that adult endurance sports are a lifestyle that can and should last a lifetime. Through sustainable gains, athletes can reach their goals through steady progression and exceed their goals through consistent training. There are no limits. There are no short cuts.
I have been participating in triathlons and endurance events for over ten years, and have transformed those experiences into a passion for competition and a career in coaching. I have held a US Masters Swimming membership card for 8 years and a USA Triathlon (USAT) card for 10 years. I have completed two Full Ironman Triathlons, several Half Ironman distance races, as well as many other endurance events throughout the United States and Mexico. I graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2002 and had been working as an Environmental Scientist until 2016. This background in science prepared me for the science behind triathlon coaching. Triathlon has developed into a very data driven sport, that utilizes various technologies to show a clearer picture of an athletes fitness, adaptability, and endurance. Over the last year I have become certified by Ironman as a triathlon coach and by US Masters Swimming as a level II swim coach.
As a husband and father of two boys, I know how important time with family is. Through this life experience, I have developed an athlete centered coaching philosophy that is optimized by paying attention to training data so as not to waste an athlete's time doing unnecessary training that can interfere with having a life outside of triathlon. My long time experience in the sport, coaching certifications, life experiences, and my background in science, are all pieces of the puzzle that make me the coach I am today.

Operation Twisted Traveler: The New Front Against International Sex Tourism
Sporich, known as the "Pied Piper of the Pedophiles" by the police for his molestation of an epic 500 boys at summer camps, was the most flagrant violator of all. Upon his release after 9 years in American prison, he went straight to Cambodia, where he drove through poor towns throwing candy and luring children to his pleasure den of water slides and video games. He is accused with having had sex with three boys aged 9 to 13.
It seems that the U.S. laws requiring the registration of sex offenders has made American neighborhoods safer, but at the expense of other nations. In other words, sexual criminals of America can go find fresh children in disadvantaged countries to violate with impunity.
So in fact, no disparaging remark is adequate to describe these dirty old men. Yet, they are not the only ones; they are simply the first to have been caught for international violations in this new law enforcement collaboration between U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, and Cambodia's own police force.
The Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting reveals the shocking statistic that a good third of all sex workers are from the Mekong sub-region of Southeast Asia (Vietnam. Cambodia. Thailand.). Here in the world, customers often assume a "don't ask, don't tell" attitude about the children, while the communities turn a blind eye to the statutory crimes happening in front of their eyes because of the taboos involved in outing sexual activities. In some cases, as with Thailand, political instability only adds to the failure of corrupted law enforcement system to protect their own nation's women and children.
Sexual tourism is not the only problem. According to the U.S. Department of State, trafficking of human beings within and across borders is the third largest illegal trade after drugs and weapons, carrying a market value of $32 billion (United Nations). An estimated 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across borders every single year; 80% of these people are female, and half of them are children. UNICEF also estimated in 2007 that the total annual number of children trafficked within and across borders is about 1.2 million. Whichever way you cut it, there is a huge issue here, and it doesn't stop at the trauma of the sexual violations, either. Sexual tourism and trafficking is exacerbating the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The new operation's efforts hark back to the comprehensive Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today, or PROTECT Act of 2003, which extended the penalty for previously convicted child sex offenders to a lifetime sentence in prison. Notably, the Act also enabled the prosecution of sexual tourists and pedophiles who commit crimes overseas, standing now as a rare example of a U.S. law that holds Americans accountable for their actions outside their homeland.
Even with these signs of progress, the sexual tourism and human trafficking issues tend to be forgotten in between sporadic bouts of sensationalism by the media. For example, coverage of the recent arrests was limited to brief air time on outlets such as Fox News and CBS. Moreover, these popular news sources have not provided details about how the offenders were caught, and how future offenders will be patrolled. However, thorough and continuous reporting of these issues does exist; it exists in the good organizations that are fighting sexual crimes with persistent lobbying efforts and undercover investigations. We are all responsible for making sure to keep up with these organizations.
The International Justice Mission is a human rights agency protecting adults and children from sexual exploitation, slavery, and other forms of violence and oppression. IJM goes as far as to provide aftercare measures for victims so that they can move on with their lives.
Anti-trafficking organization Polaris Project has a compelling "Take Action" section and also delineates relevant developments against human trafficking and sexual slavery in the United States, from California all the way to Rhode Island.
End Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes, or ECPAT International has bases in each region of the world, and strives for the end of the sexual exploitation of any child. Importantly, the website offers a free subscription to news updates and information about the continuing fight against the sexual oppression of children. The Bangkok based organization has a very informative "Get Involved" section that offers specific outlets to campaign or speak out about the cause.
Action Pour Les Enfants is an even more targeted non-governmental organization devoted to protecting children living in the touristic areas of Phnom Penh Sihanoukville and Siem Reap in Cambodia. The website is extremely informative, and details how sexual exploitation can be divided into establishment-based and street-based incidents. Establishment-based exploitation occurs through the management of brothels, while street-based exploitation is facilitated by offenders like Peeters, who literally pick children up off the road. Hair-raising personal accounts of children embellish the "About Us" page. APLE has also posted a wish list of very tangible needs with prices to guide donors so that they can specify exactly where their money will be used.
Minga is an amazing 501 (c) 3 established in 2005 by 14-year-old Katie Simon against the child sex trade. The group is now flourishing, powered by concerned teenagers!
Finally, The Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting puts out a superblog called Untold Stories, which consolidates reliable, cutting edge news bites from the blogs and reports of their own dispatches. Where FOX News and CNN blank out, sites such as these will fill in the gaps.
Imagine if your own child, your niece, your grandson, your youngest sibling had been born in a place of disadvantage. Now imagine that this kid, either in order to escape destitution or pull her weight in the family, finds a job. The recruiter tells the little girl or little boy that they will work in a fabric shop or a factory, which in itself would have deplorable conditions. Instead, the children wake up one morning in brothels with no way out and seemingly no one who gives a damn. And standing over them is an American, a Britain, or an Australian who will most likely go back to their countries and resume their Average Joe lives with a few crazy stories under their belt. Imagine if this happened. You would do something about it. So do something now!
As the IJM States in its fact sheet, sex trafficking "will endure as long as it remains a profitable criminal enterprise." So, too, will sex tourism. From our vantage point, it is easy to shake our heads at the supply end of this story—what hopeless poverty, what corrupt people, what desparate families, what inept law enforcement! However, Westerners must hold themselves accountable to the demand side of things. Even those of us who do not directly pursue sex with Asian or Pacific women or children may do our part in their defilement through ignorance and forgetfulness. Every uninformed luxury honeymoon package to Thailand, every detached business trip to China, every careless bit of American luxury tossed into the hands of children in Cambodia, and every boast about the services our currency can buy in paradise contributes to the same engine that runs the business of sexual tourism.
The best that the average and well-intentioned citizen can do in the face of all this to support the organized efforts that are making operations costly for the providers of the sex industry. We can also diminish demand for sexual tourism by strengthening public aversion to child sex slavery, traveling responsibly, and spreading the importance of this issue by word of mouth to one person at a time.
As for Boyajian, Peeters, and Sporich…they will be tried in November, facing up to 30 years in prison for each child they violated. Keep your eyes peeled, and get ready to help keep the momentum going as Operation Twisted Traveler does some serious cleaning up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bethany from Amazing Grill I purchased this grill about a month ago. There were no reviews, so I was taking a chance. It is an excellent product! Heats up very fast, even cooking temperature. Perfect sear on everything I have cooked. It is larger than I expected. My only complaint is with the assembly. I got white glove delivery and they did not assemble the bottom shelves correctly. With no manual, we struggled to get it assembled correctly.Date published: 2019-08-07
Does this grill connect to a gas line?Hi Megan, This grill only uses liquid propane. It can be converted for use with natural gas in Australia and New Zealand only.Date published: 2019-05-28

Season 1 Episode 19: Coming of Age
Watchability: Skip
Short Answer: A couple interesting points, but nothing you are going to miss.
Notables: Serves as a sort of precursor to "Conspiracy"
There are two main threads running through this episode. The first one is about one of Picard's old friends who is now an admiral. He comes to the Enterprise and investigates Picard's record for reasons unknown. By today's standards has a fairly predictable twist. The more "interesting" part of this plot line is continued in the episode "Conspiracy" later this season, so I won't go into it here. We'll see how I feel when I get to it, but I recall that episode being one of the strangest episodes in the entire series. If you watch this one, definitely watch "Conspiracy". It's not good, but it will probably be good for a laugh.
The second plot line follows Wesley Crusher as he applies to Starfleet. It's interesting for a couple reasons. The one that piqued my interest is that the Starfleet application process is very selective. Of all the children on the Enterprise, Wesley is the only one allowed to take the exam. The plot diverges a bit into the story about another teenager who does not get accepted. I suppose he is intended to be a foil for Wesley, but I have a hard time seeing the purpose. He seems to exist solely to let Picard give him a heart filled pep-talk about trying again.
Having the exam be so selective definitely seems to drive home the point that the Starfleet is "the best and the brightest" (which later plot-lines are happy to contradict). We already saw that it is difficult to even be allowed to take the test. In addition, only one person from the test is accepted. It's understandable that Starfleet wants people of a certain caliber, but having the applicants compete against each other seems a little contrary to the principles of the show. It seems at odds with a world that talks about how there is no unemployment and everyone is able to do what they set out to do. If all the applicants were capable of being a Starfleet officer, I would think that they would accept them.
As per usual, I am probably over analyzing it. This aspect of the plot is probably exists just to facilitate the moral (see Spoiler Section below). If any of the discussion above sounds interesting, go ahead and watch it. Otherwise, it is pretty safe to skip.
By the end of the exam, it is clear that Wesley and Mordock, another candidate, are neck-and-neck. Wesley takes a moment during one of the tests to help his opponent, which causes him to fail to get accepted into Starfleet. Picard delivers what I assume is the moral of the episode in this statement: "You have to measure your successes and failures within." Written down it's a little bit trite, but it is no worse than the life lessons that other shows of the time dole out (I'm looking at you Full House...).
Side Notes
(1) A few episodes back, I talked about a gesture that Patrick Stewart often makes which is jokingly called "The Picard Maneuver". In this episode, we almost see "The Riker Maneuver" (I think it is called that). As you continue to watch the show, you may notice that Riker often straddles a chair. This action denotes to us, the audience, his laid-back persona. He doesn't quite do it here, but he does swing his leg over the chair like he is going to, but without turning the chair around.
(2) This episode also features the first instance of Riker ALMOST getting to command the Enterprise. Picard tells Riker that he has been offered an admiralty, and you can see the excitement in Riker's face until Picard tells him that he has turned it down. Throughout the show, there are a number of times where Riker seems to waiting for the chance to command the Enterprise. Sometimes he gets to command of the ship for a little while. At other times, he is offered a position somewhere else and turns it down. He just can't seem to catch a break.
Come with me as I re-watch the show from my childhood. Is Star Trek: The Next Generation relevant to this next generation of television?

S1E19 Coming of Age
3 comments:
Is it possible to over analyze on a blog? That's sort of their purpose, isn't it? Analyze away. Also, I haven't seen this episode and probably won't, but if I did, I'm relatively certain I would totally laugh at Riker for ALMOST getting to command. I can't help it. I kind of delight in his failures/near-failures in a Zapp Brannigan kind of way. I know, I know, I'm sure he's actually a great guy, I just don't know him very well.ReplyDelete

Ha, Thanks for the poke. I went on vacation for a week and got out of the habit. I'll fix that. It's nice to know someone looking!ReplyDelete
