Posted by Joshua Mayers Photo credit: Greg Gilbert, The Seattle Times I'm working on my story for the paper, but here are some team-provided quotes from Clint Dempsey's press conference: * * * Clint Dempsey – Sounders FC Midfielder (On the process of joining Sounders FC…) "A few weeks ago the opportunity came up where my agent was asking would it be something I'm interested in, and I said, 'For sure.' It's the league that gave me the chance to become a professional, and I want to be able to come back in my prime and not when I'm past it to help continue the growth of this league and of this club. The league and Seattle Sounders organization has showed a great commitment to making that happen—they really moved mountains because I was still in contract and still had two years left [with Tottenham]. Going into preseason I honestly thought that's where I was going to be, so it was a big decision. I sat down with my family and talked about it a lot and just felt it was the right time. It just felt right. I'm excited to come and play in Seattle in front of some of the best fans in the world—statistically I think it's top 30 in the whole world. The league is changing, it is growing, fans are coming out to the games, the quality of soccer on the field is better. I got to see that during the World Cup Qualifiers—just being around that type of environment. I'm excited about coming back to the states and helping to continue grow this league and help Seattle Sounders do well. The goal here is to win a MLS Cup and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen." (On making the move to MLS in the prime of his career…) "I would say timing was everything. I had two more years on my contract. I was already starting to get the itch, to be honest with you. I wanted to come back to the states. I just missed being in America—it's where I was born and I wanted to help continue the growth of the game here. Like you said, you can't help the growth of the game if you come back and you don't perform. I understand there's a lot of pressure on me to succeed, a lot of expectations that others have on me, but also the expectations I put on myself. When I decided to come back to this league, I want to come and make an impact. I want to do a good job. I don't want to come and be passive and not be able to make a difference in games. I want to win things. I'm still going to work as hard as ever to make sure my game is at the highest level possible and I'm doing everything I can to help the team win." (On the World Cup Qualifier in Seattle and how that affected his decision…) "The atmosphere was great. It was one of the best atmospheres that I've experience representing my country and being in the states. It almost felt like you're in a different country—it felt like you're in Europe. Also, just walking around the city the Seattle Sounders game was on and we were able to have a meal on our own as a team. Just walking around the city you see the games on TV in bars or in restaurants and it's just like, 'Wow, I never thought I'd see the day,' because I grew up in Nacodoches, Texas, where it's like, 'What are you doing? You're playing soccer? Why aren't you playing football? Why aren't you playing baseball?' Stuff like that. It did have a part to play in it, also the fact that the ownership group made such a commitment and showed how much they wanted me. You want to feel appreciated and I appreciate that. The atmosphere walking out to the game for the announcement, it felt like it was a movie. I've never felt so welcomed and so at home just right off the jump. I'm looking forward to getting on the field and really paying back the fans, paying back the ownership, paying back the league for the faith in me and make sure I show them that it was a good investment and we're going to do some great things here." (On if he's spoken to USMNT Coach Jurgen Klinsmann about the move…) "I haven't had the opportunity to really sit down and talk to him about everything that's going on. I've been busy with my family and really thinking about the decision and trying to make the best decision possible for us. It's something that we will talk about, but like when I spoke with Sigi—I'm coming here and I'm still going to have that pressure to succeed, that pushing me every day to make sure that I can be the best player that I can be and help the team be the best that they can be. I'm not going to let up or slow down or slack, I'm going to keep pushing myself, keep working hard, and make the most of where I'm at. I'm happy to be here in Seattle. We'll have those discussions, but from my standpoint I don't see there being a difference there. There are players still in MLS that get called into camp and they still perform at a high level. I expect to continue doing the same." (On the importance of Klinsmann's opinion…) "I think everybody has the right to their opinion and what they think is best for the future, whether that's with the National Team or that's with your career. You also have to do the same thing for yourself—everybody is their own man. It's not something I made a quick decision on. I really thought about it. I really had a lot of conversations with my mom, my dad, my brothers, and my wife. I just felt that it was the right time—I wanted to come back while I was in my prime. I had a good time in Europe. While I was at Fullham we did some great things there—got to a Europa League Final, we had the highest finish ever in the league table, finishing seventh. At Tottenham, we got to the highest point total that they've ever had with 72 points in a season. I look back with no regrets. I thought my time over there, if you want to crunch numbers, was successful, and I want to continue to do the same thing here. I just want to thank Tottenham and the organization and the fans. I want to thank Fullham and the organization and the fans for a great experience in Europe. I can't forget the New England Revolution, have to thank them because they gave me my start, but also I'm thanking Seattle Sounders because they're giving me another chance to be at a great club and do some great things for them, so hopefully we can get that done." (On if the potential to play in the UEFA Champions League pulled him to stay in England…) "It's something that I did have to think about. It was a goal of mine to play in the Champions League. Last season we finished with the highest point total ever, and normally 72 points would have gotten you Champions League. Maybe that's something they can accomplish. I had two more years there, but I'd been in Europe for six and a half years. I just wanted to come home. I was starting to get that itch. Every year it was more difficult to go back. I think everything just has to do with timing. The Seattle Sounders moved mountains to get me here. It was an opportunity to come back when I was in my prime, help the continued growth of this league. It's a challenge that I'm excited about. It's not going to be easy, it's still going to be difficult, but I'm looking forward to it. But yeah, that was something I did think about." (On his condition…) "Feeling good. I was able to get some training with Tottenham, I was able to participate in two games. The first game I played 60 minutes and the second game I played 45 minutes. I was able to contribute in that game and get a goal, so that felt good. It's still preseason. I'm going to have to work in training. I've only had the opportunity to do one training session here, but look forward to getting in with the guys and work on things and see where it is. You don't know where you are until you play in games. No matter how much you want to run, nothing can really replicate what it's like to play a game and play at a high level for 90 minutes. That's something we'll have to evaluate." (On his travel of recent…) "Going back to preseason just to give you a little idea of how much traveling I've been doing—I went to London, was there for four days. Then I went to Hong Kong, was there for a week. I went back to London, was there for four days. When I was in Hong Kong I think that's when things were starting to be talked about, and then more advanced conversations when I was in London. Then it was about logistics—trying to get here as soon as possible and make it the easiest flight. Because of the situation, I flew into San Francisco and I don't think people knew what to expect. I think there were people saying, 'Why is he in the states and where potentially could he be going?' Then I got on the flight to Seattle and had to go out a back door and try to keep it a secret as long as possible because it is something where you want to bring excitement around the announcement, and Adrian played a bit part in being able to keep the secret for as long as possible. It eventually got out a little bit but I still think it was a nice surprise. Like I said, walking on the field for the presentation, it was like a movie. I've never felt so appreciated and so valued. It just gives me that much more appreciation to work hard and pay those fans back for that moment." (On if he was watching #DempseyWatch on twitter…) "I wasn't to be honest with you, but my brother was telling me about it, and my mom, so my family members were laughing about it. But I thought that it was awesome that people really care that much about the sport in the states that they wanted to know what was going on. They were trying to figure it all out, trying to piece together the puzzle and come up with their own conclusions. But, I'm happy to be in Seattle and I'm looking forward to doing some great things here." (On how important it was for him to come to Seattle out of all places…) "It was important for me to be in Seattle because of the fan base, the atmosphere, and because Sigi is the coach. He's done so much for the American game, and just being around the national team I hear players talk about different coaches and it was always positive when they talked about Sigi. Also, being able to come up here for a world cup qualifier, and being able to see the atmosphere, talking with Eddie Johnson when we were with the national team about just how much he enjoyed it here and that kind of stuff. Also, on that trip I went fishing with Marcus Hahnemann and it was cool to just be back in the states and do the things that I enjoyed as a kid growing up, and it's really the perfect place for me to be. I can do everything that I want to do on and off the field, and I'm just looking forward to being here and being able to raise my family here. That was a big thing. Being able to have my kids be raised here in the states and to have some of the experiences that I had growing up like tee ball, and all of that kind of stuff. So I just look forward to that, and I look forward to just getting on the field." (On if he sees this as a long term move…) "It's a long term contract, and yes I look to be here for a long time, so I'm happy about being here." (On if he caught any fish with Marcus Hahnemann…) "Actually I foul hooked a minnow so I wasn't impressive. But Brad Davis actually caught a fish, so he kind of showed me up. It was a good time, it was good to get out to break up just being in the hotel. So that was nice of Marcus to take myself, Brad, and Stuart Holden for a day of fishing." (On if he worked out the number two jersey with DeAndre Yedlin…) "Yes, there had to be a hostage negotiation, but he's a great kid and he's having a great year, and I'm sure that there will be some type of compensation. I'll have to take him out for a few meals as well. It was very kind of him to be able to let me have that number and we'll work something out. It is a number that holds a lot of significance to me. A lot of people look at it like, 'Who is this kid and why does he want to wear number two if he's an attacking player?' But it all started for me when I was in college. It was the only number that was really available because the upperclassmen got all of the more traditional numbers that you would wear based on positions and then the rest were called scraps. And then when I went to the MLS I had the opportunity to wear number two or number ten, and at the time number ten was seen as an unlucky number with the Revolution, so I was like, 'I don't want to touch that.' That's when I realized that the very first jersey I ever had was a number two jersey, so that's why it's something that is special to me. But I guess that when I was a little kid maybe they gave all of the little runts the number two jersey. That's why I've always tried to continue with the number two my whole life." (On the growth of the league…) "The attendance, also more soccer-specific stadiums, the quality on the field, and they just show the games overseas. I've been able to catch the games here and there, even though there might be delayed games because of the time difference and all, but, they show the games. It just shows that there is an interest in people, in other countries, in watching our league. Being able to still have players, from this league doing well, play on the national team and still perform on a high level just show that there is not a drop off there. You can still be competitive and still compete against the players that are doing will in Europe, for a place play in the national team. That's as good of an example as any type on how well the league is doing." Adrian Hanauer – Sounders FC General Manager and Owner (Opening statement…) "Welcome everyone. Thank you for being here on this momentous occasion. We couldn't be more thrilled about today and this press conference. I wanted to take you back a little bit in time because I think it's sort of an interesting story in how we all got here, and Clint's perspective might be slightly different than mine, but I'll give you from our side how this came about. About two years ago, Joe Roth and I started having conversations about the 'Dream Big Player' that we could bring to our team. I have to give a ton of credit to Joe Roth in this particular case. Joe is, as I've said, a no-guts-no-glory kind of guy. We had these conversations, and Clint Dempsey's name was always at the top of the list. Starting about two years [ago], I would call the league or be in contact with Lyle Yorks, Clint's agent, and inquire about Clint. And the answer was always 'No chance. No chance. No chance. No chance,' so every few months I'd give a call and get the same answer. About five weeks ago or so there started to be some rumors from England that maybe Clint could be sold by Tottenham. We didn't know if they were rumors, if there was any validity to it, but it was an opportunity to pick up the phone again—called Lyle again, and the answer was still 'No chance.' We sort of went on our way assuming that would continue to be the case. And then I'd say about two and a half weeks ago I got a call from Todd Durbin in the MLS office, concurrently the commissioner was reaching out to Joe Roth, and the message was, 'There might be a chance.' We clearly jumped at that kink in the armor and wanted to figure out whether there was a true opportunity here or whether it would just be a passing opportunity. Joe again was very quick to pounce at this and said, 'This is a guy we've wanted for two years. Let's figure out how to do it.' Truth be told, not having anything to do with Clint being the right guy for our team, I was a little more hesitant. This was a massive contract, a massive commitment by the club from our perspective—I don't know if it's massive from Clint's perspective. We've always wanted to run a really rational business. The great part of that point is we have a very good partnership—Joe Roth, myself, Paul Allen represented by Peter McLoughlin, and Drew Carey. The four of us got together, made sure that this was still a reasonable thing to do from running-a-business standpoint. Once that box was checked, it was full steam ahead in that we thought Clint was the absolute right guy for our franchise at this time. From a playing standpoint, from a team dynamic standpoint, character, chemistry, what he does in the community, and alongside that just a commitment to our fans because we really do feel as though we are stewards of this franchise for our fan base, and they deserve players like we have on our team and a guy like Clint Dempsey. With that said, again we're very, very privileged and excited to introduce the newest member of Seattle Sounders FC: Clint Dempsey." (On how Dempsey was acquired by the league…) "We have different mechanisms by which players can come into the league. Clint came in as a designated player, but you can't come in through multiple mechanisms. You can't come in as a designated player and an allocation player, so he came in as a designated player. We were able to work directly with the league to put together a package that made sense. Let's be realistic, a player of Clint's quality and pedigree has a say in where he ends up. That's just the reality of certain players who end up in our league. That really was the process by which Clint came into the league, and Seattle, and as far as keeping the team together obviously we'll focus more on that next year. The only thing that I will say is that there's always a salary structure dynamic on every team, and with every sport in the world. Some guys get compensated a lot and some guys get compensated less. Some guys are overpaid for their performance and some guys are underpaid for their performance. It's my job to try to manage through that, and we'll try to manage through that in the best way possible." (On the importance of getting the right guys…) "It's critical. Its easy to spend money in soccer. There's no shortage of players out there commanding massive salaries and transfer fees. We clearly wanted to get it right. Oba [Martins] performance is right so far. We believed two years ago, we still believe now that Clint is dead on another right decision, both on the field and off the field. First and for most, it's about winning championships and delivering for our fans. But Clint clearly provides the ancillary benefit of being a massive figure in U.S. Soccer. A fan favorite and someone can connect with our fans and our communities and do great things here in the northwest and quite frankly, for the league overall. For sure it's got to be the right guy." (On the step process the league is in currently…) "I think that we are in our adolescence as a league. I think the league is in its 17th year and I sit on the competition committee and we talk about transparency and we want to continue to have more and more transparency in the league. I think that it's a good thing for fans so it is somewhat we are working towards." (On the rules of keeping the league competitive…) "Why don't we do this offline? This is about Clint and bringing him to Seattle. I'd rather get into the league rule stuff offline." Peter McLoughlin – Sounders FC President (On what allowed the club to sign Dempsey…) "It was a collective decision. Paul Allen was certainly supportive of the decision. Joe and Adrian were passionate about going after Clint. Clint is going to be huge addition. We do have a phenomenal fan base, we do lead the league in attendance, we'll lead the league for the fifth consecutive year after this season, and we intend to grow our fan base. Certainly that contributes to the resources, but it was a combination of reasons to go after Clint. It's the right player at the right time." Sigi Schmid – Sounders FC Coach (On signing Dempsey and the increased pressure to win…) "I think pressure is always there and pressure is what you put on yourself. Certainly when you can add a quality player, that makes you that much better as a team. I think everybody on our team is very happy that Clint is joining our team because they know he makes us a better team. Where exactly, how we're going to play—that's something we'll work out in the next few days on the training ground, and then in the next three-four games as people begin to understand each other and understand their goals and how their roles maybe change a little bit. As far as pressure, Adrian wants me to succeed and he wants to win an MLS Cup, I want to win an MLS Cup, and the guy sitting next to me here wants to win an MLS Cup. I think it definitely improves our chances. Whether it's this year, whether it's next year, I can't make those kind of predictions and promises, but I can promise you that we're going to give it a go this year and put ourselves in a position to win it." (On what the transaction says about where the league and the team has grown to…) "Well I think that it makes a huge statement to the league. The ability to bring a player back like Clint at the time of his career that he's in right now where he's still in his prime, and the commitment that the league made to make that happen is a step forward. We've always been considered, and still are to some extent, a league where players are going to develop and then move on to maybe more lucrative pastures, and that's something that's still going to go on. But by bringing a player in like Clint I think that a statement has been made, so we're ready to move onto the next level. We're moving forward and we're going to be more competitive on a day-to-day basis. For our club, it's a tremendous commitment that the ownership has made, but it's also a fantastic reward for our fans. The fans that have followed us and who have been committed to this club for all of our years now going into our fifth year now, and it's a reward for them. You've been with us, you've been there, and now we're giving you a really special gift. We're bringing back a guy in Clint Dempsey who is in the prime of his career and we're going to continue to push, we're going to continue to keep this club at the upper echelon. We're not satisfied with being average, we want to be the best, and I think that's the message that the club sends. It's a tremendous reward for our fans, and it's big step forward for the league." (On Clint joining the team and whether he will play against Toronto…) "Well certainly, having Clint gives us a lot more weapons. On offense, it gives us more options now and a lot of players to choose from. It's a matter of, like you said, understanding and getting them to mesh with everybody is important. Clint obviously is going to train with us this week. He's already played a couple of preseason games. We talked to him and from my expectation, he will play in Toronto. How many minutes and so forth that we will sort have work out and we will talk and see how things feel. The one thing that we don't want to do is push too hard and push too soon and put him in a situation where he will gets injured. We want him out there; maximizing his minutes. Our team overall, as we said before, the reception from the guys has been fantastic. We are starting to get healthier right now. I thought the team played very well against Dallas on Saturday night. We still got games in hand. So the standings look bad right now, when you look at the points. But when you got games in hand, we can take those games and put positive results on the end of them. We are going to put ourselves in a very good position and that's our objective. One of things that Clint is going to provide for us is leadership at crucial moments in critical games. He's an experienced player. He's played Europa League, he's played in the EPL, he's played in World Cup qualifiers, and he's played in the World Cup. You can't have enough of those type of guys, that when it's a critical game and in those crucial moment in that critical game there's someone who can keep their wits about it, someone who can make the right decisions, someone who can make a determination, and also give a little help to a young guy like DeAndre [Yedlin]. That leadership within the game is something Clint can provide and will provide for us." Comments

JIMMIE C. HOLLAND, M.D.; SUSAN TROSS, Ph.D.
The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and its related conditions are a public health problem of unprecedented proportions due to the debilitating and fatal nature of the disease, the sociocultural implications related to contagion, and its initial appearance in certain socially stigmatized groups. The ability of patients to tolerate the consequences of the disease depends on their psychological ability to cope based on emotional strength and the availability of social support. The psychological and social impact of AIDS may result in psychiatric symptoms similar to those seen in other life-threatening diseases, including anxiety, depression, and delirium. Neurologic complications are frequent, the commonest being an encephalopathy and dementia that is poorly understood. It is difficult in the early stages of AIDS to separate reactive depression and psychomotor retardation from symptoms associated with central nervous system complications. Guidelines are needed to manage the psychological problems posed by AIDS and its related conditions.

The author of the handbook of principles for adult learning that I cited in the previous post (Teaching adults martial arts) lists six factors that motivate adults to get themselves into learning situations like martial arts
- Social relationships: some adults particularly enjoy the social aspect of martial arts classes - getting to meet and hang around with interesting people. For some of these people the before-class and after-class interaction cna be the most fulfilling part of the experience.
- External expectations: This is probably the least motivating factor in the martial arts. Adults just don't usually seem to get into classes to comply with some formal authority's instructions. The exceptions to this include someone who might get instructions from their doctor to get some exercise or maybe police or paramilitary personnel for whom it serves as part of their job requirements.
- Social welfare: This is not cited as much as it once was, but it is certainly a motivating factor. Some people get into martial arts practice because they see it as their duty to become better prepared to help serve their family or community. They see it as a benefit to their society to make themselves better people.
- Personal advancement: Some adults are purely intrinsically motivated. They do it for no reason other than to improve themselves. These are probably the instructor's favorite students.
- Escape/Stimulation: Some adults especially enjoy the martial arts for the simple reason that the dojo is not real life. For these folks, martial arts provide a de-stressing break from their daily routines.
- Cognitive interest: to simply learn something of interest. Some people see martial arts as an intellectual puzzle to solve, and as such it can provide a lifetime of diversion.
I doubt if any one person is motivated by only one of these factors, and there are almost certainly other reasons to participate in martial arts, but these six provide a pretty good start. Our advertising tagline at Mokuren Dojo falls directly into several of these categories:
Fun - Fitness - Discipline - Defense
Do you have a motivation for practicing martial arts that does not readily fit into one or more of these six categories? If so, let me know...

Yep, I'm signed up and made the first payment already. I'll made the final half payment in the next week or so.SpaceCanada wrote:How's the camp planning coming along, Lee (P51)? Are you registered yet?
Once I started doing the math on a hotel (I just didn't want to do the HAB for a week), my wife pointed out that if I could get a decent deal at the Marriott, it'd likely be cheaper (or about the same) than renting a car all week. So, I called their booking folks (not the front desk) and asked for a week-long rate for SC. I was told there is a 'trainer' rate of $99/night. So, I got that. I'd always wanted to do the Marriott at Camp so this should work out well for me.

Self-equipped open-top device can quickly complete the replacement of wearing parts such as the hammer. 7. Selection of the bearing with larger size and higher load. 8. Finite element analysis on the rotor to ensure its performance more stable and reliable.
European Type Impact Crusher is a kind of crusher which crush the raw material by using impact energy. When enter the zone of the board hammer, the raw material is crushed by the high-speed impact of it. And then the raw material is threw up to the impact device installed on the rotor and is crushed again. Then the raw material is crushed for another time when it is rebounded from impact liner to the zone of board hammer. The process repeats until the raw material is crushed into the desired size and discharges from the bottom of the machine. The final product size and shape can be changed by adjusting the gap between impact frame and rotor frame. European Type Impact Crusher adopts spring safety device behind the impact liner. When the non-crushed items enter the crusher chamber, the impact frame front and back will be draw back and the non-crushed items will be discharged from machine.

Subscribe To Pokemon X And Y Gameplay Video Rides Gogoat Updates
I've already subscribed
A new gameplay trailer for Pokemon X and Y gives us a long look at Lumiose City. Lumiose is a massive metropolis at the heart of X and Y's Kalos region.
As the trailer shows, players can actually ride Grass-type pokemon Gogoat through the streets of Lumiose. That should make it a lot quicker to traverse the town. Also, it will probably get Pokemon back on PETA's shit-list..
Gogoat is one of several new Pokemon debuting in X and Y. The new additions also include two Legendaries and three starter Pokemon. The game features a new Mewtwo evolution as well.
X and Y are the first games in the main series to support 3D graphics. They'll be released exclusively for the 3DS later this year.

Automotive Know-How to Help Solve Problems for Pet Owners and Parents
Some families make plans to get away at holiday time to escape the noise. For instance, New Year's and Fourth of July festivities with loud fireworks can be frightening for many children and pets.
It is much more difficult to plan ahead to escape nature's fireworks with thunder and the clash of lighting. That could be changing for pet owners thanks to the technology found in headphones and some cars.
Automaker Ford is using the noise-cancelling technology used in its Edge SUV for use in a dog kennel.
Just a prototype for now, the noise-cancelling kennel is part of a series of initiatives – called Interventions – that applies automotive know-how to help solve everyday problems.
"Making sure dogs and their owners could enjoy a stress-free New Year's Eve seemed like the perfect application for our Active Noise Control system, and we have a few more ideas in progress as to how our everyday lives might benefit from a little Ford know-how," Lyn West, brand content manager of Ford of Europe explained.
Ford also applied automotive technology to work to help babies and their parents in 2017 in a prototype crib simulating the conditions of driving to put an infant to sleep.
The "Motor Dreams" crib, prototype used sounds of an engine, gentle movement imitating traffic, and LED lights that mimicked street lights. This video shows how the crib works with a smartphone app.

The topic this week is kind of linked to one of my research projects in another subject: SOC 349 Classical Sociological Theories! We looked at satire in Singapore media, and examined what are the functions that it serves in the Singaporean context. In case you are wondering what satire means,
Satire is a powerful art form which has the ability to point out the deficiencies in certain human behaviours and the social issues which result from them in such a way that they become absurd, even hilarious, which is therefore entertaining and reaches a wide audience.
It is a commonly used tool in other countries mainly in The United States, with talk shows like The Daily Shows with Jon Stewart, pseudo-news website The Onion, and even comics!
Of course with the rise of social media, the spread of such media is even wider! Take this hilarious video, critiquing the US intervention in the Middle-East, has gathered over 6 million views!
In Singapore, there has been a rise in satirical media as well recently, though of course not on that level. Now, there might have been others but the first one I was exposed to was the Mr.Brown Show, created in 2005. At that time, it was just audio podcasts by Lee Kin Mun and Benjamin Lee. Their hilarious parodies and commentaries were refreshing yet full of local flavour that connected with us in our tightly regulated environment then. Since then, the show has gone on to create videos, and other shows on its own website, youtube channel, Facebook page and Twitter and Instagram! Here is one of their recent videos:
There are also other many other channels such as sgag.sg, a website that has hopped on the trend wagon of 9gag and memes to poke fun at things in Singapore. Common topics include
Amongst other topics, these are some of the favorites! So this website, citizens are free to submit their own memes to share to the local public. Viewers who see the memes and find it funny, would share it on their own social media which spreads to everyone. Besides s9ag, there are similar websites like SMRT (Feedback) that have a strong presence on social media.
However, an analysis of the satirical media in Singapore shows that it is not serving the same function of its counterpart in other countries. We surveyed over 50 students (in SIM) about their thoughts on this issue. Many responses showed that besides raising awareness on certain issues in Singapore, it does not incite much social change or influence the government as much. The tone of the satirical media have gone 'too entertaining' to be taken seriously to create much of an impact. This can be seen from one of the responses on their opinions on satirical media:
Just for laughs. Never treat them too seriously as they often shed superficial lights about the issues, and disregard some other more important aspects. They are not meant to solve problems!
However, there are some areas that social media is creating waves, or perhaps more like ripples for now, in the public. For example the Facebook page:
Petition to remove Tin Pei Ling as a MP
that was created during the hype when she was first announced as PAP's youngest candidate. It has since evolved into a popular place that posts news about our country and social issues, inviting viewers to think critically about them. They have become so popular that they have created a site called www.TheRealSingapore.com, which is very active on Facebook on socio-political issues, but in my opinion, are quite biased to be anti-government.
The Real Singapore
Nonetheless, its popularity and influence is a sign that social media is an outlet for socio-political commentaries and citizen activism. The Real Singapore calls themselves the Voices of Average Singaporeans.
I think Singapore still has a long way to go before we become as outspoken and declarative on socio-political issues. We have a culture of apathy, "complaint-but-no-action", or perhaps we all know that despite all the problems, we already have the better end of the stick. But I think the rise of social media and satire can help to keep us aware of what is going on around us, and hopefully help the communication between the government and its people rather than create a mess and dissatisfaction. It takes both hands to clap, for the people to voice their opinions but have patience, and more importantly, for the government to recognise their voice, listen and take action.

ITS Espero, Augsta-Bell AB 212 keep up pressure on pirates
As part of her counter-piracy patrols off the coast of Somalia, EU NAVFOR's Italian warship, ITS Espero, has an Agusta-Bell AB 212 helicopter embarked.
This highly capable helicopter provides the commanding officer with much-needed versatility, speed and range, as well as an intelligence-gathering capability.
The helicopter can be deployed at short notice to investigate suspicious piracy activity at sea. It can also be deployed to assist seafarers in distress.
ITS Espero is currently deployed as part of the European Union's efforts to deter and disrupt piracy off the coast of Somalia and to help protect World Food Programme vessels as they deliver vital aid by sea to the people of Somalia. She will return home to her base port of Taranto in Italy towards the end of July.

How To Fix 100% Disk Usage After Windows Update KB3201845
Windows 10 just received a new update and like all previous updates this too comes with its own set of problems. This time the problem is increased disk usage. If your disk usage, as reported by the Task Manager, is consistently at 100% or above 90% for no real reason then you might be suffering from the update's side effects. The good news is; the fix is pretty simple. The bad news is; it's not permanent and each time you reboot your system you will have to repeat the fix. Here's what you need to do to fix 100% disk usage after Windows Update KB3201845.
This bug/problem appears to be a result of the Windows KB3201845 update. Check if you've received this update or not. To do so, open the Settings app. Go to Update & Security and in the Windows Update tab, click 'Update History'. Check if the update has been successfully installed.
Assuming you have the update installed, and you are getting high or 100% disk usage it is likely the update is responsible for it. To fix the problem open Command Prompt with administrative rights. Run the following command to fix the problem.
WPR -cancel
What Does This Command Do?
WPR refers to Windows Performance Recorder. It's a Windows tool that records how well your system is performing. It does so by recording system events. The increased usage is due to this tool working. The command will stop the tool's current recording session. No data from it will be saved. Normally, it is saved to your disk so you can look at it later and check out what's wrong with your system.
Each time you boot your system, this tool runs in the background which is why you will need to run the command again each time you boot your system. After applying the fix, my own disk usage went from 92% to 10%.
It's possible that the disk usage is genuine or that it is being caused by something else. If after running this command, you get the message 'There are no trace profiles running', it simply means the Windows Performance Recorder tool isn't running and it isn't the cause of the problem.
It's not clear why this tool is causing problems after the update but that is just what Windows 10 and its updates do now. This solution comes from Reddit user YukiNagatoKyo.

EPSON R230X Drivers Download– Excess R230: The printer is well-known stubborn alias not fussy, so many intravenously. Fairly high resolution 5670 dpi and passable cepet, so the print result can be more delicate and detailed. These printers use six colors: K, C, M, Y, LC, LM. LC and LM are very helpful to produce bright colors. Logically, the ink such as paint. When mixed with the darker. Differences with increasingly mixed light is getting brighter. Automatically, the combination of colors C and M will be more difficult to produce colors brighter than the combination of LC and LM. I myself for a lot of bright color printing, ink Y, LC, and LM depleted much faster. Individual ink: if you use original ink, this helps budget savings and waste dumped. Can print directly on a CD. Tip: if you want cheap, attach a sticker on a regular CD tray then print his life. If you want more capital so use a CD that can be printed directly. It's easier if you use the CD printing software directly.
Deficiency: I and friends to experience some problems when the paper load. This problem will only get worse if using thick paper (paper with a thickness of over 245 GSM is not recommended) and / or the use of paper powder is too easy to fall off. There are certain brands that my black list for use with the printer. If you want to know, please japri only. Maybe this is a trade tactic Epson, there is a counter that limits the use of the printer. This counter is mainly there head (CMIIW). Past experience, service centers only reset and cleared shelters used ink (60rb costs). If you want to download the software, please look at the post of friends to another. When cleaning head: a huge waste of ink. Tip: do not be too frequent cleaning -> wasteful ink and make head wear faster. I do not really know how the cleaning techniques used. My guess head also scrubbed because no metal profiles on a foam pad to dry. Dare to post infusion, the printer must always operate. At least 1 times a day should print each color head. Can create your own and in auto schedule. There is also a sediain on the web, but I forgot the link. If for the original ink: the result would have been nice, but I had never used for print (new purchasing direct infusion)
Experience in Epson Service Centre weve often in interrogation used when going to the service center. Especially if you want a warranty claim. But just calm, if I could answer, the warranty can be claimed anyway. important: remove all traces. If the tide infusion, yes before being taken to a service center IV revoked replace the ink that is genuine, it is also important to attach the tube container waste ink, so the ink pad in the palace printer is not polluted by tintan infusion (if anyone wants to analyze so it's rather difficult). Well, I do not know, there is not a mechanism or store the ink information of any type ever installed (ori or false). If the C87 I know this information is not stored in the printer. I do not know how to R230. If everything is neat, be sure aja service centrenya if we use original ink (the original installed a service).

3 Most Common Ways Of Earning Money Online
Thanks to the internet, people can now make some money from the comfort of their homes. The internet has provided several opportunities to making people's lives a lot easier and better. While some people take earnings from their online businesses as an extra income, some others have it as their primary source of income and livelihood. Hence, people either work part-time or full time depending on the kind of online business and the individual involved.
The interest of earning money online has grown immensely in recent years particularly due to the relative ease involved compared to the remuneration and compensation to online workers. Money making online is not only achieved by every day people, it has allowed them to live their dreams by having a better quality of life. People going on holiday trips, having more time at home with kids, doing things on their own terms. All thanks to the cash earned on the internet.
There are different ways to earn income online and many people have actually left their 9 to 5 day job to settle for online income. The increasing interest in making money online has also led to different schemes and scams promising to make people millionaires with almost no effort. Most of these scams come under such headings as "fastest way to make money online" and "easiest ways to make money online". Most of these programs turn out to be false and fade in a short time but not until many people have invested and lost lots of cash and time.
So for the person wanting to earn money online, the first factor to consider is the authenticity of the program. This is not to say that there are no easy ways to make money online but people should be careful in order to avoid losing their hard-earned cash to scams. Remember, nothing good comes easy and if it is too good to be true, it probably is.
Another tip for persons that want to join the online money making train is to ensure they go for adequate training. This does not necessarily mean one has to enroll for a class. In fact, most online money making programs have some form of training for new members. This helps them with the basic knowledge needed to start up and as they grow in the business, they are able to acquire more skills to improve their business and increase their earnings. Training and retraining is very essential.
Having listed some of the many tips to ensure the journey into the online money making world is relatively smooth and profitable, it is essential to state some easy ways to earn money online. This might not be the easiest way but they are sure to earn some extra cash and can even be made the primary source of income if well mastered.
This is one of the oldest ways of making money online. It has created several opportunities for people to make money online due to its wide scope. One of these opportunities is multi-level marketing otherwise called MLM. It has been around many years. Long before the internet!
More recently, people are beginning to start MLM schemes and if one is lucky to have picked the right program, it can be life-changing. Most of these programs provide training and support to members and form mentorship relationships with people. In the business world, it has always been about learning from those who are successful.
Affiliate marketing is a program where one sells other people's products in exchange for rewards in cash also known as affiliate commission. It is an incredible way of making money online. The good part of affiliate marketing is that once you are able to learn how to effectively market and you have built a list online, you can sell other products that might be relevant to your list.
All that is needed here is to perfect one's marketing skills and have a responsive list to market to. Similar to MLM, building a relationship with that list is important. People buy from those they know, like and trust. It's the back bone of any business.
You need to engage with your customer list. Identify how you can help them. You don't have to hard sell people, but get to know them. What they like, what they need and what they want. Provide good value to them and they will stay customers.
Blogging and writing articles are great ways of earning some money off the internet. As a blogger, one can earn money by promoting one's product or other people's. Having great content on your blog with massive traffic can be leveraged upon to advertise your product or other people's product and this can be a very good source of income.
The demand for writers is increasing dramatically and for one reason or the other, businesses prefer to hire freelancers to handle their writing needs. This therefore creates an opportunity for people that have the flair and skills for writing to earn money as a freelancer.
There are many freelance sites you can list your services. Having your own website to show case your portfolio is another great idea. This also allows you to show off your writing skills and encourage people to do business with you.
Other skills that could be useful in making money include graphics skills, programming skills, and the likes. And because these skills are inborn, it requires almost no start-up capital and one can start earning money right away. You can make use of the same freelance sites writers would use.
There are several other ways to earn money online but the bottom line remains that to earn money online, you must be solving a solution. Build the know, like and trust of the people having the problem. Then provide the solution.

In September 2011, I was interviewed for an article in the hospital magazine about mammograms, in preparation for Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. The one question I was asked that stuck out in my mind was, "What is you want readers to know about mammograms?" My immediate answer was, "They are not perfect." Somehow that was not really explored in more detail and the point never really made it into the article. I guess it might have discouraged women from getting mammograms.
Do mammograms save every woman with breast cancer's life? Unfortunately not. As Peggy Orenstein in her recent article suggests, many women are under the misconception that if you have mammograms every year, it will save your life. It can, but it does not necessarily mean that it will. But just because it is not a perfect test, does it mean that it should not be utilized at all? The media isn't questioning the value of pelvic exams, prostate exams and colonoscopies and they are not perfect. Patients are subject to false positives, false negatives and risks of procedures that result from those tests. And, people are still dying from ovarian, prostate and colon cancer.
Do I believe that mammograms save women's lives? Absolutely. I can for sure say that there are young women's lives who have been saved by mammography. The problem is that people have been made so aware of how mammograms have helped save lives, that not much has been discussed about the limitations of mammogram until recently. As a result, people have lost faith in mammography. However, if you understand the limitations in addition to the benefits of mammography, you can then choose how to best utilize it in screening yourself for breast cancer.
So what should you know about mammography other than it can save your life?
1. Mammography is limited in dense breasts. This point has been brought up in the media for a while now. To understand in simple terms how the density affects mammography interpretation, see my blog "Breast Density and What Does It Mean?"
2. Mammography is not always able to image the entire breast. The vast majority of breast cancers occur in the upper outer portions of the breast and so the views taken favor imaging those portions of the breasts. However, the lower inner portions of the breast tend to be more difficult to image and as a result, some cancers that develop in the very inner and lower portions of the breast may not show up on mammography. In general, the parts of your breasts that are the closest to your chest and farthest from your nipple can be difficult to image as it is difficult to pull every inch of your breast tissue into the machine.
3. The radiation dose of mammography is fairly low. The dose of one mammogram is equivalent to seven weeks of radiation you get from natural sources in the environment. The dose of a CT of your chest is equivalent to 10-25 mammograms. The lifetime attributable risk of fatal radiation-induced cancer from mammograms is 1.3 to 1.7 cases per 100,000 women. You have a greater chance of dying from a car accident (1 in 84 as quoted by the NY Times) but most people don't even think twice when getting into their cars.
4. Not every mammogram reading is equivalent. The number of false positives and negatives can vary depending on who is reading your mammogram. The readings can also vary depending on how many comparison mammograms the radiologist has.
5. Some breast cancers are just plain difficult to see on mammography, even on easy to read mammograms. The growth pattern can make some cancers easy to see and others not. If the cancer grows along the breast tissues, as true of lobular type breast cancers, it can blend in with the normal breast tissue and be difficult to detect on mammograms. These types of cancers tend to be larger by the time they are detectable by mammography. However, if the cancer starts to distort the tissues around it, those changes tend to be more easily seen on mammograms, even dense ones.
6. Some breast cancers grow too fast to be detected at a small or early stage. I have seen a perfectly clear mammogram one year and the next showing a large cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. I really hate those cases. I always ask, "What could've been done differently?" Unfortunately, we can't assume that because your mammogram is good today, you will be fine until you get your next mammogram. Cancer can happen anytime.
So, what does this mean for you?
1. Decide first if you want to be screened for breast cancer and at what stage you want to find your breast cancer. Often DCIS (see my blog about DCIS) and sometimes very small invasive cancers are only seen on mammography. Ultrasound tends to find breast cancers after they have formed a mass (i.e, become invasive). If you want a chance at finding your breast cancer early, then have a mammogram done. Remember that the cancers in women who are not in menopause (50's and younger) tend to grow faster and be more aggressive than the ones that show up in those who are in menopause.
2. If you decide on having a mammogram done, find out if that is enough when it comes to imaging studies. If you have dense breasts, an ultrasound may indicated as an additional means of screening. If you have a high risk or strong family history, MRI may be indicated for screening. Talk to a radiologist whenever you can to find out what imaging tests are best for you.
3. Always feel your breasts, particularly in the areas farthest from your nipple. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, for several reasons. First, feeling your breasts allows the areas that can be missed on mammography and even ultrasound to be checked. Second, it allows your breasts to be checked between the yearly mammograms should something grow in that interval period. Third, no one is going to know your body better than you. You are going to be better at finding that breast cancer than your doctor if you regularly check your breasts. (Blog to follow about self breast exams…)
4. To reduce the false positives and negatives, be consistent. Screening works the best when you have a timeline. Get a mammogram done every year to reduce the chances that something might get missed. Always have your prior films for comparison as it reduces the likelihood that you will get called back for additional imaging and helps the radiologist appreciate any change that might be significant.
5. Have a breast radiologist read your mammograms. The more mammograms someone reads, the better they will be at knowing what is normal and what is abnormal. Also, radiologists who perform biopsies get feedback after getting the results, thus learning what varying forms cancer can present as.
The problem with breast cancer screening is that everyone's breasts look different and not every breast cancer acts or presents the same way. It's hard to have a "one size fits all" approach. Mammography is not perfect but the things listed above can help overcome its shortcomings and improve detection of breast cancer at an early stage. If you don't do mammography, what are you left with? You are left with waiting until you develop a mass, or invasive breast cancer. The larger the cancer, the higher the risk of it spreading to other parts of your body. That's the risk of not doing mammography.
As you will find on my blog, my philosophy is that the patient always has a choice. Just be properly informed of the risks and benefits of the choices you have. Don't be afraid to ask what your options are. It is your body and ultimately you are the one who has to live with the decision you make, not anyone else.
Stay tuned for upcoming posts about self breast examination, breast MRI and ultrasound.

1. I want to create a step by step for my friend Vicki who is learning to make wonderful pies.
2. I want to create the fantastic hand pie I had at the RED BARN. We just stopped at a cute big barn that has fudge, ice cream to die for, wonderful jams, and freshed baked good on our way home from Northern Utah. I bought a cherry hand pie and had to stop everything to relish the amazing crust! I gave everyone a nibble and they thought it was great too. I really want to recreate that amazing thing...and wow I think they must use this recipe. They just must. If you are ever driving by Santaquin on I-15 you must stop.
the dough won't be cohesive" and I was worried that it was really not cohesive..at ALL.
Linzer cutters for hand pies?
I did make one peach pie with jam from the RED BARN...and it was fantastic!! Best jam you may ever taste. It made a wonderful pie with a sliver of a (sshhh) canned peach.
Everyone loved these...Joel said it was the best pie I have ever made. Sadie loved it and said it was her favorite.."I mean one of my favorites". Best crust I have EVER made.
Blueberry Hand Pies
Recipe from King Arthur Flour
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (16 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup cold sour cream
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon Instant ClearJel
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 large egg, beaten
- white sparkling sugar, for garnish
|1) To make the dough: Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the butter, working it in to make a coarse/crumbly mixture. Leave most of the butter in large, pea-sized pieces.
|2) Stir in the sour cream; the dough won't be cohesive. Turn it out onto a floured work surface, and bring it together with a few quick kneads.
|3) Pat the dough into a rough log, and roll it into an 8" x 10" rectangle. Dust both sides of the dough with flour, and starting with a shorter end, fold it in three like a business letter.
|4) Flip the dough over, give it a 90° turn on your work surface, and roll it again into an 8" x 10" rectangle. Fold it in three again.
|5) Wrap the dough, and chill for at least 30 minutes before using.
|6) To make the filling: Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked berries to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
|7) Preheat the oven to 425°F; place a rack on the middle shelf. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
|8) To assemble the pies: Roll the dough into a 14" x 14" square. With a straight edge and pastry wheel, or a 3 1/2" square cutter, cut out sixteen 3 1/2" squares.
|9) Divide the filling among eight of the squares, using about a heaping tablespoon for each. Brush some of the beaten egg along the edges of each filled square.
|10) Cut a vent into the each of the remaining eight squares, using a decorative cutter of your choice.
|11) Top each filled square with a vented square, and press along the edges with the tines of a fork or a pie crust crimper to seal.
|12) Brush the top of each pie with the remaining beaten egg, and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Transfer the pies to the prepared baking sheet.
|13) Bake the pies for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
|Yield: 8 hand pies.

When driving the tuning pins into a grand piano, the pin block has to be supported from the underside. The reason for this is the way in which the pin block is manufactured. Generally speaking, the pin blocks in pianos are constructed of multiple layers of wood laminated together. In modern construction, most pin blocks are manufactured of up to 18-20 layers laminated together with phenolic resins. In early construction, pin blocks were 3 layers of much thicker materials over a maple plank.
In either case, while stringing procedures are completed, or when the tuning pins must be driven deeper into the pin block for increased torque ratings, the block must be supported from the underside. Without support, the bottom layers of the pin block laminations will be forced apart by the tuning pin being driven into the block from the top. Once this de-lamination occurs, the repair is to replace the pin block, which is a time consuming and costly mistake.
Below is a link for some photos of the traditional way to jack and support a pin block. Of course there are other ways to accomplish this task without the specialty machinist's jacks; by using a series of wedge planks would be one example.
When jack supporting the pin block this puts excessive pressure on the key bed; sometimes with vintage instruments one does not know how strong the key bed is. In instruments that are older, it is also a good idea at times to support the key bed from underneath the piano to the floor. This can be done with short lumber and a small hydraulic jack.
Below is a link to a series of photos showing the tools and supplies required for supporting the grand piano pin block.

Principles of Human Resource Management
My Distance Learning College
Every business is made up of people, the human resources of the business. How effectively those human resources are managed will have a major impact on how successful the business becomes.
Indeed in many industries, the quality of the human resources, how effectively they work together and how well they are trained and developed, can be the major factor in maintaining the competitiveness and profitability of the business.
It follows then that the study of human resource management (HRM) is a vital part of the business and the ability to manage people effectively is a key skill requirement for the effective business manager. The process is a complex one.
Partly this complexity stems from the fact that one is dealing with people, with all the inevitable variation in skills, personalities, attitudes and behaviors which this implies. HRM is further complicated by the major changes we are experiencing in technologies, in patterns of trade and business and the need for businesses and their employees to respond quickly if they are to remain competitive.
The need for all managers to have competence in HRM is becoming inescapable. Increasingly as organizations become flatter, with fewer layers of management, line managers are playing an increasingly important role in the management of people.
This course is designed to help you understand these issues and begin to acquire some of the knowledge and skills required for effective management of people.
This course covers topics such as:
- Introduction to HRM
- The Changing Nature of Work
- Employee Researching - planning and recruitment
- Employee Researching - selection
- Performance Management
- Equality of Opportunity
- Employee Relations
- Employee Development
- Reward Management
- HRM and Business Objectives

There is a major shift in energies at this last New Moon of 2017.
This final New Moon of 2017 on December 18th is in Sagittarius and is the most powerful of the year as it is conjunct the Galactic Center, where it is said that Divine energies pour forth. The intentions you set now could have far reaching effects.
Sagittarius is a sign that deals with future and possibility, optimism, faith, beliefs, luck, success and expansion just to name a few. For the last few years, you may have felt that some of these qualities were in short supply due to Saturn's transit through Sagittarius which felt restrictive and limiting; limiting beliefs and hindered opportunities that tested your faith, slowed your growth and progress, urging you to use an abundance of caution and a whole lot of patience with responsibilities mounting all the while throwing some sizeable obstacles and major setbacks in the way. It has been a tough road, but this is all coming to an end now. You made it! Yay!
This New Moon can be a time for Regaining faith in life and receiving a lucky boost from the Universe after the heavy energies of Saturn in Sagittarius.
Just one day later, Saturn exits Sagittarius where he has toured since December of 2014 and enters his own sign of Capricorn for the next few years. Saturn is the Manifestor and he is king of the 3D reality. Manifestation and materialization are not only possible, it's happening.
It's as if this New Moon ushers in this new energy, solidifying and cementing all the Sagittarian lessons of the past few years. After all, Saturn transits may not always be pleasant, but they do serve a purpose. There is wisdom and experience gained and some lessons and realizations that are invaluable.
Several of our heavenly bodies, (the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus) are in Sagittarius awaiting the once in nearly thirty-year departure of Saturn. This is a magickal time
Mercury Rx in Sagittarius is reviewing ideas and plans for the future, questioning beliefs, views, opinions and assumptions and seeking solutions, seeking the truth. While Venus in Sagittarius loves freedom and adventure, she also appreciates honesty, integrity and things that are more straightforward and wants relationships that are meaningful.
Saturn is crossing into his home turf now, this late in the year, means that 2018 will be a year to narrow your focus, define goals and fortify your position. This won't just happen. Saturn always requires discipline and effort and you may have to prove yourself by demonstrating accountability and commitment. You may also see the effects and consequences of some undertaking or the achievement or realization of objectives. Intentions are manifesting.
During Saturn's transit through Capricorn, it will be a time to pull back, focus and concentrate on the things that are important, the things that matter and on what is essential, getting down to the bare bones. It will be a time to set standards, rules, policies and boundaries and to establish schemes, structures, frameworks, timelines and schedules.
This New Moon connects favorably to Uranus in Aries bringing a sense of excitement, liberation, and wonder. You could feel an awakening of possibility or a new vibration that makes you aware of your connection to nature or new intuitive insights and guidance bringing some peace of mind if only for a moment, but it would be a meaningful moment.
On another level, there may be situations involving new friends or groups that share similar views and philosophies, or perhaps friends or groups of another culture; maybe you are traveling to meet them, or they are at a distance, maybe there is a meeting of the minds, perhaps there are circumstances involving legal issues and law suits concerning a group, party, assembly, congregation, etc.
Pallas also combines her energies to Uranus and the New Moon highlighting revolutionary political activism and ethics. This brings to mind the "woman in a man's world" and the Me-too movement in our current culture and the steps taken in the near future. Things will never be the same again. Alternatively, this could involve new strategies and troubleshooting technology, networks and laws; net neutrality comes to mind. Perhaps you are promoting, publishing or advertising and expanding your reach using technology and social media networks.
Venus in Sagittarius connects favorably with Uranus and Pallas in Aries and there may be some promising changes to relationships or money, there could be new friends or technology that aids in an increase in earning. This is also about the revolution pushing for women's equality, including equal pay.
Chiron in Pisces square the New Moon could put a slight damper to your enthusiasm as you are made aware of flaws, mistakes and vulnerabilities and some of the beliefs that our lives have been structured around, now is the time to surrender that to the past and put that old story to rest, use this time as a starting point for new beliefs, a new story…a new future.
Ceres pairs with the North Node in Leo and contacts Pluto in Capricorn suggesting there is a shifting happening, eliminating what holds you back from nurturing your inner essence, so you can radiate feelings of self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-love and self-acceptance. On another level, there is a shifting happening by means of the relationship with nature, earth's energies and solar energy that allows the morphing and changing of fundamentals and frameworks.
The Solstice, another potent point of energy, is just days after this New Moon. The Winter Solstice represents the rebirth of the Sun so although this is the longest night, we celebrate the increasing light until the Summer Solstice.
Blessings to and Good Vibes to All at this potent Last New Moon of 2017!

That's why we love Dario Bianki's works, because he is able to mix good music flavors with non-ordinary vibes. His brand new release "Work in progress everyday" walks in this direction, that's really a good production, with a dark, minimal, heavy impact along with magical instruments, some electronic, some analogic. The result is surprising, and it's perfect for your summer nights!

Eeeeeeeeeeeee. This is my first read by T.C. Boyle and I had a great time although it took me two runs at it to get the whole thing down. I went into the bookstore with T.C. Boyle on my mind, having just listened to a podcast at NPR in which he talked about his newest book, The Women. It is a fictional account of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the women in his life. A friend of mine recommended Water Music, the foreign language section of Wittwer had it, I bought it.
What struck me the most about the story was that the characters never came to rest. Four hundred thirty-seven pages and they were running flat out in every direction – either away from the consequences of their actions or directly towards the logical thing to do, even though it was obvious they had no chance to escape the aforementioned serious consequences. The story moves at a break-neck pace, Ned Rise, Mungo Park, and especially poor Johnson pay for every quiet moment with a chapter full of trouble.
The old man, nestled beneath his bush, sleeps on. Deathly still. His mouth hangs open, the pink bud of his gums and palate an hors d'oevre for the huge green flies that hover round the putrefactive chicken. A column of ants has been using his foot as a highway, mosquitoes tatoo his cheeks and eyelids. Looking down at him so frail and motionless his bones in stark relief against the yellow muck, a terrible realization comes over the explorer. Old Eboe, last of the Jarrans, is dead.
Ah, but is he really dead, and what of that putrefactive chicken? What sort of a person comes up with this storyline? I jumped and squirmed. The language is not colorful, it is disgusting, stinky and delightful. Any author who makes a bushpig say: "snark snark" has a firm place on my Authors-To-Read-More-Of list.
From the back of the book:
The year is 1795: George III is dabbing the walls of Windsor Castle with spittle, Goya is deaf, De Quincey is a depraved prepubescent and young Ludwig van Beethoven is wowing them in Vienna with his second piano concerto. In London, Ned Rise, thief and whoremaster, is drinking Strip-Me-Naked with Nan Punt and Sally Sebum at the Pig and Pox Tavern in Maiden Lane. And, far from his native Edinburgh, the explorer Mungo Park is stranded in the Sahara, a prisoner of the Moors of Ludamar.
Water Music is the rambunctious account of two men's wild adventures through the gutters of London and the Scottish Highlands to their unlikely meeting in darkest Africa, as they search for the source of the Niger, a river no European has ever laid eyes upon.

There is no question that minority teens and young people in America have are the most challenged educationally, economically and as victims shoulder the most violent crimes statistics in the nation. So when President Obama decided to create yet another movement effort to rectify this continuing plague upon minorities he delved into his own drug-use and other experiences as rationale for launching it, according to the New York Times.
Personal experiences aside, the fact that he got high on drugs as a teenager and even was "indifferent to school" is that really the reason the over whelming negative unemployment and education dropout rates afflict young minorities in America?
There is no coincidence that Obama decided to launch what could be a worthwhile effort to deal with lifting black and minority youth up from the cellar of under achievement. But upon closer examination, the 'My Brother's Keeper' appears to be more of a convenient dodge and a very thin band-aid that never really travels to the core of the problem. Black families are being headed by single parents and fathers are for the most part on the lam away from their responsibilities as positive role models.
My Brother's Keeper is projected according to the New York Times to last about five years. And Obama reportedly came up with this notion in the wake of the Trayvon Martin national debate during and after the trial of George Zimmerman. What is totally unclear is how this new effort is connected to "young men of color" and the statistics of school under achievement, inability to read and encounter the criminal justice system more regularly than non-minorities.
One has to ask just where is the beef in this plan? What is going to magically occur now and what will be the expected results in five years? Trayvon Martin had a mom and a dad, and true enough they were divorced, but according to records of his school achievement he was not performing badly in school. His problem it appeared that he was performing badly in his life pursuits.
So, instead of having a 'My Brother's Keeper' organization that is targeting to help black and minority youth get back on track it seems logical that the old-fashioned "This is my child and I am his or her keeper," is what should be reinforced in each and every minority community and home.
Why is there a need to reinvent the wheel and find new and unique ways to say to young people and their parents, get it through your noggin, be a responsible parent and be a responsible child? There is no need to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to 'be 'My Brother's Keeper' when the church community is right down the street. Drop the focus on race and increase the focus on getting your parental act together. Stop the blaming and start the changing!
Obama likes to point to his own experience as a youth growing up in America. He somehow believes that having a grandfather and grandmother who cared, but was white was a detriment. Instead he should be focusing on how Americans of any and all colors can be good parents and good grandparents who are involved. Why is it about race when it is more about love, compassion and caring?
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke quite eloquently about the notion that all Americans should be look at for the conduct of their character and not the color of their skin. Trayvon Martin was not a black kid who was acting badly as much as he was a bad acting kid who caused a citizens patrol supervisor to fear for his life.
Sure 'My Brother's Keeper' may be supported by the mainstream media as well as all of the race baiter and race pimps and pimpettes who love the idea of creating yet one more vehicle that will grab headlines and disappear beneath the waves in less than a year.
Here a clue that Obama and his racial dividers like Mark Anthony Neal, who is a Duke Professor of African-American Studies. Instead of listening to people like Professor Neal who suggests that Obama has to do more because he accuses him of forgetting his roots, take a page out of the bible.
Ephesians 6:1-4 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 "so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
This is the program that Obama should have discussed and instead of the racial naysayers and finger-pointing apologists, the word which has disappeared in far too many households in America is both colorblind and effective.
So if there is a 'My Brother's Keeper' program that should be used in the homes of all families, including the most challenged families in America start and end with the Bible.

Population biology of alewives, Alosa pseudoharengus, in Lake Michigan, 1949-70
Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada
By: Edward H. Brown Jr.

Alewives were unknown in Lake Michigan before 1949, but became extremely abundant in the 1960s and soon exceeded the carrying capacity of the lake. In 1967 they were decimated by a lakewide mass mortality, and have since been less abundant as 'adults' (a?Y 120 mm long), although numerous young were produced in 1969-70 and the adult population appeared to be gradually increasing. Alewives were studied intensively during 1962-70 on the basis of collections made primarily with bottom trawls. Principal considerations in the population study include effects of seasonal changes in distribution on length composition of young and adults, sex and maturity in relation to size and age at recruitment into adult stocks, and changes in age, growth, condition, and population structure that accompanied the drastic changes in abundance. A substantial increase in the age of adults in the bottom stocks and on the spawning grounds was among the important population changes after the 1967 die-off. Growth of older adults also increased appreciably immediately after the die-off, and a sharp increase in average weight (16-26%) over a standard range of lengths was maintained in 1968-70. Selective depletion of zooplankton by alewives was evidence that overabundance decreased the food supply, depressed growth, and caused the poor condition that made alewives vulnerable to excessive mortality in 1967. Although poor condition in fall undoubtedly increased winter and spring mortality in the mid-1960s, alewives apparently were stressed by below-average temperature in the winter of 1969-70, and experiences a light die-off through May 1970 despite their good condition and relatively low population density the preceding fall. The population upsurge that preceded the 1967 die-off was reflected by a fivefold increase of adults in the fall index catch (in trawls) from 1962 to 1965 and 1966. The index catch then dropped 70% in fall 1967. Mortality among the 1960-64 year-classes, as represented by annual losses from age III to age IV in the index catch during 1964-68, ranged from 40% in 1965 to 89% in 1967, and averaged 68%. Assessment of mortality from the index catches was difficult because the age of alewives at full recruitment into bottom stocks increased from III in the mid-1960s to IV or older in 1968-70, when alewives remained longer at midlevels, possibly because of a delay in sexual maturity. Annual mortality after the fifth year of life, on the basis of average percentage age composition of the trawl catches in 1964-70, was tentatively estimated at 79-80%. The number of alewives recruited to the adult population from the 1962-67 year-classes over several ages in the fall index catch was inversely related to the abundance of their parents in the fall immediately preceding the year in which each year-class was spawned. Annual commercial production in the 1960s (peak in 1967, 42 million lb) may not have exceeded 7.7-18.6% of the bottom stocks, on the basis of the estimated weights of alewives available to trawls in the spring of 1964 and 1969. Yield per recruitment to the commercial fishery was low because of slow growth and high natural mortality.
