Ha ha, we're off! At least I am. Shut up shop, literally, camper van under my ass, a dozen bottles of water, and a pack of sandwiches to shorten the journey. Once we hit the motorway to Dublin the shades come out, rain, hail or whatever, quick check that I've the right change for the tolls and the smile comes across my face, a smile that stays there for the whole weekend! I don't care 'cause we're heading for the Picnic at Stradbally. As far as I'm concerned the other 362 days of the year are a type of support mechanism for the three days of real life that I get every year (if I'm lucky) at the Electric Picnic.
I'm not a great believer in re-doing an event. If, or when, you have a great party somewhere and some one suggests 'we really must do this again next year', the height the ante fills me with anticipation, not even of disappointment, but with fear that the joy we have just experienced may be diluted by not quite capturing the same magic next time 'round. Of course that same demon does haunt me going to the Picnic, but it has never happened (to me).
The whole weekend, Friday to Monday, is like one big long day with a couple of night-time naps, time out, along the way. Friday can even be a bit edgy, people getting into it, thinking 'its not as good as last year' or 'is this it? I was expecting more'…But the weekend is yet young, we're only in round one, and the best is yet to come.
The get in of Friday night under your belt, the meeting and greeting of everyone, Saturday is a completely different story, we're all becoming friends now and so defences are down. That person standing next to you, you may have had a dance-off with last night, it was after all a long night and lots of good things happened. That inimitable, uncontainable, feeling of community begins to emerge, this is the warm fuzzy buzz that everyone has come for, but until the moment doesn't exist.
Ya, Saturday afternoon is easy, weather permitting, some sound engineers enjoying massive facilities, a few bands comforting us. Caitlin from Deasy's and Briget from Lettercollum, as always, leading the field with the, all important, can I say that again, all important, foodie delights, not to mention the Black Pudding Bus. The West Cork representation there is ridiculous, really ridiculous, there's not that many of us but we're all over the place!
Whether the rain holds off and muck doesn't become too much of an issue has a bearing over how Sunday can go, but sometimes (almost never) the more muck the better, you got to go with it. But Sunday's just brilliant, you can enjoy as much as you can here and now but you can't take it away with you, smile, relax and make the most of it.
Tomorrow you'll be taking that tent down, answering the phone messages, and wishing you could do it all again next weekend, a slice of real life.

tv CNN Newsroom CNN September 5, 2012 3:00pm-4:00pm EDT
3:00 pm
mosquitos most of the time you're totally fine. now hour two. big, big night for the democrats. bill clinton scheduled to speak to the party convention in charlotte. my friend piers morgan with me now from the cnn grill near that convention site. piers, i promise we're going to talk bill clinton in a moment but the news of the day here broke this morning. the dnc changing up the venue, breaking down the big thursday night at the bank of america/ n america/panth america/panther's stadium. the democrats say it's thewet ere. on the flip side they say they couldn't fill this out door stadium with the democrats. piers morgan, what's the truth?
3:01 pm
>> i think the republicans would claim it was sunny when it was raining sump as the nature of convention rhetoric. i've been in charlotte all week and the weather has been big storms and a lot of heavy rainfall. i think the idea of having an out door stadium on thursday given the way the forecast is looking was completely ridiculous. they made the right decision. i think anyone who reads into the idea that barack obama still couldn't sell out a stadium is living in cloud cookoo land. i think they would have had a full crowd. it's raining so hard, they can't hear you. >> did you say cloud cookoo term? >> not clown, cloud. >> i needed to clarify. bill clinton is speaking. what do you expect he'll say?
3:02 pm
do you have any idea? >> he's going to be giving a rally cry to the democratic troops. hooeg going to be gihe's going copy of his speech to the campaign. his relationship with barack obama is a fascinating one. when barack obama ran against hillary clinton things got pretty heated. they both need each other. i think president clinton needs the exposure and having the president using him as his number one sounding board as advisor which he does do from time to time and barack obama needs the magic power of a ex-president who is more popular now than ever in office. i think you can expect a real rally cry and i can imagine it
3:03 pm
will do barack obama no end of good. >> i read liz's piece. one of the ways he phrased it was quasi-friendship and president obama semi embracing of bill clinton because he needs him. we started thinking about this and here they are on the golf course. these are two alpha males. the sitting president, previous president. is there really any surprise that their agendas aren't a pitch perfect match? >> no. absolutely not. it's like when i meet up with larry king. it's not like we sit there telling each other how wonderful we are. i think anyone expects people like that who replaced each other in huge jobs there's always going to be a little bit of tension. a little bit of competition, if you like. all those things go with any of these situations. i think they get on remarkably
3:04 pm
well. i think there's been other presidents in the past where there's a much less healthy relationship but they are very combative, competitive, political street fighters, the pair of them. i think together they are a very effective weapon for the democratic party but apart they become a much more problematic situation for the party. the party loves bill clinton and they still love barack obama. they want to share the love with their two heroes. >> they love hillary clinton who is away. let's talk about you. you talked to paul ryan. you got him talking about, surprise, surprise bill clinton, barack obama. let's play a snippet. >> during the clinton years we had good economic growth. bill clinton was a different kind of democrat than barack obama. bill clinton gave us welfare reform. he worked with republicans to cut spending. bill clinton did not play the kind of political games that president obama is playing.
3:05 pm
>> bill clinton worked with republicans. how do we put this? we don't recall republicans speaking so fondly of bill clinton when he was president. if i recall correctly they impeached him but i suppose that was when ryan was in his 20s. i don't know. >> it's fascinating his analysis of why bill clinton's an acceptable democrat and barack obama isn't given that clinton -- >> why is that? >> they want to build up bill clinton so they can attack obama and say clinton was a good president. you're not. that's why we need to take over from you. it's more complicated than that. when i push paul ryan today, i asked him everyone is saying are the american people better off after four years of barack obama than they were under george bush. i rephrased that question. were the american people better
3:06 pm
off after eight years of bush than bill clinton and they weren't. he almost admits. he said things were successful but he says a lot of that was down to the bipartisan style he had. he worked with republicans to get things done. many people on barack obama's team would say the reason we can't get the same things done that bill clinton did with someone like newt gingrich is the speaker john boehner have gone out of they ware to be as disruptive and unhelpful as they can. that's one of the reasons why the average voter is sick and tired of all of their rhetoric about this. they think washington should bang their heads together and go back to what was probably the last great relationship between republican and democrat senior leaders. bill clinton and newt gingrich. i have spoken to newt gingrich about this several times. they used to get in a room and they would throw everybody out and have just the two of them with two chairs and thrash out a
3:07 pm
compromise. that's what's got to happen. he's got to sit down with john boehner and clear the air and say the good of the country has got to come before our problems. >> it seems like they were close to doing that when it came to that debt ceiling . sdp perhaps there will be a compromise. we'll look for you up late tonight in the post-game at midnight. thank you, sir. enjoy the grill. >> my pleasure. >> just to remind all of you primetime coverage officially kicks off here tonight at 7:00. you have wolf and anderson. former president bill clinton addresses those delegates inside the arena and piers morgan midnight, don't miss it wrapping up night number two of the democratic national convention on cnn.
3:08 pm
there's a lot more happening here. watch this. the man in kmarj of syrup ya's next door neighbor reveals what he knows about syria's weapons of mass destruction. i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. also, rebels accuse the government of dropping t and t barrels and craters like this one prove it. the 16 that is anything but sweet. what america's new debt marker means for you and me. and zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds. an up close look at the new electric super car. everyone has goals.
3:09 pm
take the steps to reach yours, with us with real advice, for real goals. the us bank wealth management advisor can help you. every step of the way. from big steps, to little steps. since 1863 we've helped guide our clients, so they can take the steps to help grow, preserve, and pass along their wealth. so their footsteps can help the next generation find their own path. all of us serving you. us bank [ dog ] we found it together.upbeat ] on a walk, walk, walk. love to walk. yeah, we found that wonderful thing. and you smiled. and threw it. and i decided i would never, ever leave it anywhere. because that wonderful, bouncy, roll-around thing... had made you play. and that... had made you smile.

3:12 pm
many of them fleeing to turkey. the u.n. call this is a brave and deteriorating incident. we sat down with an exclusive interview with the prime minister of turkey. let's listen. >> does it surprise you that the united states doesn't take any other actions other than what they call nonlethal support? does it surprise you they don't want to arm the rebels, for instance or talk about a no-fly zone or buffer zone or safe zones? >> translator: right now there are certain things being expected from the united states. the united states had not yet catered to those expectations. maybe it's because of the elections, maybe it's because of the pre-election situation in the states.
3:13 pm
nobody has spoken to us about their reasons and they are not obliged to state anything. we're very thankful and pleased they have stated they are against this regime. >> it's good to see you. hearing what he said, can you give me a broader context of what he was explaining? >> reporter: i think he's very frustrated. he's a good friend of united states and a good friend to the obama administration. he didn't want to come out and directly sledge hammer the obama administration but he did say he is frustrated. perhaps the elections are playing part in the fact that the united states is not leading in any kind of intervention in syria. he says he wants a no-fly zone. that is to have u.s., nato, other aircraft patrol parts of syria in order to protect some of those population. the people trying to get to safe
3:14 pm
areas turkey is housing some 100,000 refugees. they are spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to build camps and he really says that something more has to happen because he doesn't know how this is going to end. >> i want to ask you about how this, the multiple situations in which this might end p. you asked the prime minister what's the big danger from turkey and the entire world. his answer was weapons of mass destruction and you followed up with this. take a listen. >> do you think the weapons of mass destruction are under control right now? do you think it's possible that assad would use them or they would get into the hands of terrorists? >> translator: in light of the intelligence we have received so far they are still possessed by the regime. they are secured right now. if you were to ask me if those weapons of mass destruction could be used against the people of syria, i can say yes they can
3:15 pm
be used against the people of syria. this is something that slipped out of the tongue of assad. >> what exactly is assad saying? whether it's a slip of the tongue or not, he's admitting he has those weapons so under what circumstances will he use them? >> i thought it was dramatic that the prime minister of turkey said he was worried those weapons night be used against the syrian people themselves. as you know the united states is also basically said, at least that's what it's hinting that if any chemical weapons or any weapons of mass destruction or even potentially thought about being used that would be the u.s. red line. this is where the international community is coalescing. not intervening to save the current slaughter, to stop it but say if there's a threat of a bigger slaughter with weapons of mass destruction that's where they will intervene and that's where the cia is involved.
3:16 pm
they are in turkey, in the area and keeping a close eye on who has and where are those stockpiles. weeks ago there was a huge bruhaha after the syrian spokesman said syria would never use weapons of mass destruction against its own people thus confirming they had them. he then backtracked said if we had them. the fact of the matter is the world believes thai do hathey de them. they are under control of the assad regime now. as the turkey prime minister said he's very afraid that the government could in a hole might actually use them. that's where they are drawing the red lines, i said. >> with regard to the red line and we heard president obama a couple of weeks ago in that white house briefing in which he popped in and said that would be the red line for the u.s. as well.
3:17 pm
even the movement of these chemical weapons. what are we waiting for in terms of turkey, u.s., what's the breaking point for involvement? >> reporter: when intelligence sees there's something unusual happening with these stockpiles. whether there's any action of where they are contained. beyond that, i think what you're seeing is certainly and whether this will change after u.s. election is what everybody's guessing game is in the rest of the international community that there's no willingness by the united states to leave as it did in kosovo all those years ago and this is causing frustration by the turks, amongst the turks and other allies in the region. >> thank you so much for sharing your exclusive interview. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> you can watch the full interview with the turkish prime
3:18 pm
minister tonight. the u.s. just hit a milestone that no one is celebrating. these numbers are downright frustrating. the national debt clock has now hit $16 trillion. we'll tell you how that breaks down for every one of us. ♪ ♪ ♪ every mom needs a little helper. that's why i got a subaru. announcer: love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru.
3:21 pm
our country's debt has topped $16 trillion. that is trillion with a t. that's more than $50,000 for every man, woman, child or to put another way it's $140,000 of debt for every taxpayer. republicans and democrats would disagree as to how to reduce that debt. the $16 trillion milestone may bring us closer to a showdown in washington. we're getting close to hitting that u.s. debt limit. the maximum we can borrow is
3:22 pm
$16.4 trillion. when do we hit the limit and then what? >> there sounds really familiar. here we go again with the u.s. spending the way its spending, we're o on track to hit that debt ceiling in december. you know what the problem is, politicians is not touching this topic until after the election. if they delay like they have done in the past, remember last august that's when they raised the ceiling but waited until the last minute. if they don't raise it again the government could default by not baying its bills. by raising the debt ceiling means the country can borrow more money digging itself deeper into the hole. we can cut spending or raise taxes. neither is a popular solution. >> the last time the ceiling was expanded the country's credit rating suffered. the that danger again?
3:23 pm
>> just to refresh everybody's memory. when standard and poor's downgraded it was done not because we raised the debt ceiling but because of that big fight that dragged on over raising the debt ceiling. if congress can raise the debt ceiling without a big public fight the credit rating should be okay. the same goes for the cost of borrowing for the u.s. government. the u.s. government can boar remoney at 1.5% interest rate. that's the all time low. pfr last summer's debate interest rates were above 3%. the lower credit rating didn't affect the borrowing cost because compared to other countries and their financial situations, investors still see u.s. as the safer bet. we are the prettiest girls at the party. >> i suppose we'll take it. thank you very much. one of the democrats most notable figures missing from the

Making Injustice visible: cross-disciplinary representational techniques and processes of Spatial & Environmental Injustice and Environmental Conflicts
Geographies of Justice Research Group

Thursday 31 August 2017, Session 4 (16:50 - 18:30)
RGS-IBG Lowther Room
Session abstract
The section is aimed at improving the theoretical and methodological background to investigate spatial justice via a cross-disciplinary research; in particular we focus on the spatio-temporal distribution of socio-environmental conflicts, on the mix of qualitative and quantitative methods that can proficiently support environmental justice definition/recognition, and on the linkages with policy oriented research.
Since the early '70s the debate on spatial justice attracted a broad scholarly interest by showing how the circumstances in which different social groups live play a major role in determining their wealth, opportunity, health outcomes, educational attainment and virtually influence all aspects of life's quality (Harvey, 1973; 1996; Lefebvre, 1991; Soja, 1989, 2010). The unequal distribution of reseources and possibilities overlaps the unequal economic and social power distribution occurring through the social body (I.M. Young 1990; Haughton, 1999). More recently, social research established that, amongst other burdens, environmental problems are not randomly distributed in space and they do affect some people more than others. The link between spatial justice and environmental issues (Homer Dixon, 1994; Agyeman 2005; Dryzek 1987) engaged scholars' debate and fueled the disputes regarding its etiology, consequences and controversies. As Agyeman points out (2005), environmental justice has not only to be interpreted from a negative perspective but should also be seen as a proactive tool for accessing and distributing the environmental benefits necessary for sustainable societies with a high quality of life.
In order for this to happen, activists, research bodies and the academia shall attempt at providing an accurate, detailed and punctual representation of spatial&environmental injustice (e.g. http://www.politicalecology.eu/) and the related conflicts (e.g. http://www.ejolt.org/).
Nevertheless the fuzziness of theoretical definition, together with its breadth (spamming across a vast number of disciplinary fields) made it difficult to fully appreciate the multilayered and cross-scalar consequences of spatial injustice, most notably the socio-environmental conflicts. The narrative and the representation of spatial&environmental injustices and subsequent conflicts through geographic, qualitative and quantitative data (which can prove to be reliable, scientifically accurate and complete) is of capital importance for a full consideration in both academic debate, and in decision support system and policy-making processes.

Injustice for whom? Spatial justices and the idea of development
Jukka Keski-Filppula (University of Oulu, Finland)
The paper evaluates theoretical background between spatial justices and different forms of development which are often seen as separate phenomena. In contrast to that, this paper is based on the idea where both phenomena are seen as different points of views on the same reality: spatial distribution of different kind of benefits and burdens. By using the theoretical ideas of Henri Lefebvre paper shows how the nonhuman bodies like Marxism, liberalism and environment movement, are producing at the same time different kind of spatial justices and abstract forms of development based on their own ontological code. State spaces and generation units are reproducing own national reality of spatial justices and development by using the code given by Marxism, liberalism, environment movement or some other comprehensive doctrine. By doing so, they are still sharing some supranational spatial justices and development qualities between each other. The ontological relation between spatial justices and different forms of development is often understood as coded phenomena given in advance from the abstract and social space. Still the absolute space keeps the relation open. The main contribution of the paper is to show that because spatial justices and forms of development are produced inside the same spaces by different bodies in different periods of spatial history which means that also the ontological relation between spatial justice and development is always also strongly produced through conflicts in the ongoing empirical coded spatial context.
Negotiating "Creata" between the imperial space time and vulnerable places
Eija Merilainen (Hanken School of Economics, Finland)
Disasters have become the new normal in the Anthropocene. In international politics, the paradigm has been shifting from securing against disaster risks towards living resiliently with them. Indigenous and vulnerable communities are now lifted up as successful examples of populations that not only know how to live with natural hazards, but are seen to contribute the least to the disastrous march of modernity fueling them through climate change and other forms of environmental degradation. Yet, simultaneously as situated knowledge, place-based understanding and resilience are being lifted up as an antidote against disastrous modernity, the (post)modernity has not stopped marching on. Hardt and Negri (2000) posit that while imperialism might be over, the Empire still extends one rule over the totality of "civilized" populations and space. This Empire is decentered and deterritorializing, and knows no temporal boundaries. Hence while indigenous and vulnerable populations are now expected to (continue to) exhibit place-based resilience in the present of the Anthropocene, the Empire still swaggers in the space-time, securing the future of its aristocracy through propping robust the lives of a limited population. When conducting research in the context of disasters many researchers implicitly seek justice, negotiating between the space time of the Empire and the places of the "field". But how does this normative gearing towards justice guide the research process, and particularly the collection and creation of data - or "creata"? Are there differences between qualitative and quantitative methods?
Spatial Inequalities and Urban Form in Mexican Cities
Ruben Garnica-Monroy (Tecnologico de Monterrey)
Seraphim Alvanides (Northumbria University, UK)
With a population of more than 120 million people, Mexico is the third largest country in America. Most of the Mexican cities suffer from socioeconomic inequalities. A number of studies have been published looking at the improper provision or location of public services and how it may affect those on lower incomes. However, very few studies in Mexico have used spatial accessibility as a variable to explain urban inequalities and further on, as a means of better city-planning. Our hypothesis is that these inequalities are worsened by spatial inequalities, resulting from their urban form and bad-location decisions. The substantive aim of this project is to investigate the role of urban form in manifested spatial inequalities across 24 of 59 of the Mexican metropolitan areas with more than 500,000 inhabitants. In order to achieve this, we combine secondary data with sophisticated geospatial analysis. In particular, three sets of geographical data will be analysed. First, spatial accessibility of each city at different scales will be calculated using Space Syntax to observe how its configuration possibly influences the distribution of activities and the way the inhabitants live and move. Second, locating the most important urban services, i.e. health, education, government and food-supply, and according to its scale, generate catchment areas that show the real number of people they serve (and not the official number they should). The third type is demographic data that will evidence characteristics of population.
Environmental conflicts in the new Chilean forest landscape: a political ecology approach
Enrique Aliste (Universidad de Chile, Chile)
From 1974, several changes were occurred in the landscape of Chile Central. One of the most important is the radical mutation by forest plantation policy, with transformations in economical, ecological, social, cultural and political dimensions. In fact, this last summer, a half of million hectares are burned in one of the most destructive fires in the Chilean history, emerging several hidden conflicts and contesting the forest policies and the role of different agents in the land use policy in general.
This study seeks to address social and environmental conflicts that may arise due to changes in the assessment and perception of the mutations of the landscape. To do this, it addresses land-use changes in coastal regions of Bio-Bio and Maule, concentrating on the forestry sector and its expansion in the last 40 years. In this way, seeks to work the issue from the political ecology, stressing how to interpret and construct a reading of that process. This, it does so from the social and cultural geography, environmental history, social anthropology and development, and landscape ecology. It is held from the conceptual point of view, that as important as the physical changes are those that occur at the level of representations and imaginary, for development discourses exert an important influence on how to understand these new territories and ways of inhabit.
Can the globally emerging movement of political gardening work as a correction mechanism for spatial injustice in the city?
Chiara Certomà (Centre for Sustainable Development, Ghent University, Belgium)
Federico Martellozzo (University of Rome, Italy)
This work focuses on the potential linkages between socially-committed urban gardening initiatives (here named as political gardening, PG) and spatial injustice in cities. Social-environmental disparities within the urban environment have been thoroughly investigated and often associated with the emergence of severe and pervasive injustice instances; since PG practices tend to challenge current conditions of pervasive inequalities through the proposition of alternative access to space, natural resources and services, we consider PG emergence a potential proxy to explicit the spatial dimension of considerable living conditions disparities
More specifically this research wants to investigate whether the globally emerging movement of PG may work as a correction mechanism for spatial injustice conditions in the city.
There is now a growing body of literature exploring the different forms and aims of PG (ranging from food policy contestation, to gentrification, to informal planning etc.); however little attention has been devoted to the analysis of the relationship between justice theory and PG initiatives, particularly in its quali-quantitive aspects. This work is built on the hypothesis that PG can be actually interpreted as a tentative answer to socio-environmental disparities.
The case study grounds on the analysis on relevant data about urban gardening initiatives in Rome, and it features a GIS-based application aiming at exploring the relationship between the geographical distributions of PG initiatives and the presence and magnitude of spatial justice indicators which jeopardise urban space in social and environmental terms.
We apply simple statistical correlation analysis to geographically explicit data, in order to narrow and identify the most significant injustice-related variables that can satisfactorily explain the distribution of PG initiatives. The aims of our work are twofold: on the one hand, case-study specific results are discussed in the perspective of understanding whether the location of PG initiatives - aiming at advancing socio-political claims toward a more just social and spatial setting of the urban space - matches the distribution of spatial injustice severity. On the other hand, to offer an attempt to further understand the deep correlations between specific socio-spatial configuration – which can nevertheless be generalised to other northern cities – and the possibility for collective agency aimed at fostering a sustainable yet equitable transition to take location-based relevant action. Furthermore, from a theoretical perspective, we want to discuss and challenge the current interpretation of urban gardening as a mean to address environmental issues and re-thinking public space planning practices in the cities, by problematizing the relevance of spatial justice, social cohesion, inclusiveness, social innovations and equity.

Aside from any judgments or predetermined notions about people who are separated or divorced, dating through this trying time can be challenging, confusing and stressful and there is no doubt that dating through divorce and separation is different than not.
There are a host of complications and concerns that accompany divorce such as separation anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD, trust issues, financial and legal concerns, child custody and living conditions. There also emotional issues such as guilt, fear, insecurity and often times mental and substance issues that can arise as a result of the extreme trauma that often accompany divorce and separation. These can make it very difficult to reenter the dating world and to maintain or establish healthy, new relationships and bonds.
While it's not recommended to complicate things by dating when you're not ready, sometimes it's hard to know. Often times it's a 'test and trial' experience. If dating or the thought of dating again feels uncomfortable, you may want to seek counsel.
If you do choose to date and finally feel it's time to let go of the past and you feel you're ready to move forward, we suggest you do so with confidence and patience. There are a lot of people out there and there is no reason to rush into permanent relationships ("rebounds" ) too quickly .For example, It's very common for someone newly divorced or separated to seek someone just like their ex- spouse or someone totally opposite which can both spell trouble if you move too fast. It's possible that if you choose someone very similar to your ex, you may be repeating similar pitfalls, if you choose someone vastly opposite; you may be drifting too far from your own value system.
It's recommended to take some time to evaluate how you feel and gain perspective on your past before rushing into the future, but at the same time, when you do decide you're ready to let go and move on, do so with confidence and good judgment. There are people who spend their entire lives feeling sorry for themselves or living in fear and anger towards ex-spouses and never find their way back to happiness.
While going through divorce can be stressful, it can also be liberating and can help you to gain valuable insight and perspective towards yourself, life and others. Try to think of it as an opportunity to have better relationships in the future, enable you to make better relationship decisions and to develop better relationship skills
Remember, divorce can represent a new beginning and a chance for renewed happiness. Yes, there are elements of sadness but you are NOT ALONE.
Our approach is different and particularly valuable to our divorced and separated members in that we are oriented towards a well balanced, diverse, comprehensive and holistic approach which addresses the entire and complete person inside and out. We want to help you develop relationship skills, perspectives and relationships that last a lifetime. It all starts with how you feel about yourself and that starts with honesty and courage. We believe our fundamental approach to dating which involves personality and relational awareness prompts and nurtures the foundation for strong, lasting relationships and the skills to maintain them. Learning to grasp and master these aspects can be particularly useful and comforting to newly separated and divorced individuals as they reenter the dating scene while dealing with the unique emotions and fears that can be associated with separation and divorce.
For some, the purpose of this site will be to move forward and be paired with likely matches, for others it will be to scroll through pictures and profiles at their leisure to find their own matches in their own time. Whichever you choose, we want your experience to be satisfying and enjoyable. We hope that you will take full advantage of the tools, forums and services that we provide. We wish for you a life"in love" – for what is life without love?

It would appear that Rorschach and the Joker are destined to battle it out, if a new cover for Doomsday Clock is any indication.
On Saturday, series artist Gary Frank shared his unfinished cover for issue #7 on his Twitter account. The piece depicts the infamous vigilante beating the Joker in the middle of the street. A day later, colorist Brad Anderson unleashed the final product in full color.
Anyone ever wonder what would happen if Rorschach met the Joker....?@DCComics @geoffjohns @therealkel #doomsdayclock pic.twitter.com/qYayff4OJH— Gary Frank (@1moreGaryFrank) March 24, 2018
RELATED: Doomsday Clock: Snyder May Have Revealed the Superman Theory's Opening Salvo
This isn't the first time a new cover for Doomsday Clock was deemed to be newsworthy. The cover for issue #6 hints at the involvement of the original Nite-Owl Hollis Mason. Before that, the cover of issue #5 first confirm that the Joker would appear in this story.
The Clown Prince of Crime seems destined to play a large role in the coming issues of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's series. Perhaps this is where they finally address the fact that three different Jokers have been running around the DC Universe for several years now.

Debuting back in November, the series has since been hit with delays, causing Doomsday Clock to skip the month of February. Issue #4 hits stands on Wednesday, and it promises to shed some light on the origin of the new Rorschach.

Responsive Websites & Mobile App Development
The MFM Difference
Does your business need a mobile app, or would it be more economical to start with a mobile optimized website (also called responsive design)? We'll help you walk through the business needs for your mobile communications presence before doing any programming or designing at all. (See our section below.)
When you work with Mobile First Media, you get more than just website designers or programmers. You'll work closely with our core team of digital marketing consultants, mobile app developers, search engine optimization consultants and search engine marketing professionals. The difference will be measurable in sales and business results and ensuring an improved user experience,.
We also offer the staff training and on-call support you and your team need to continue your success.
Mobile and Apps 101
Mobile Optimized and Responsive Websites
A mobile-optimized or responsive website is a website that can be viewed easily on any size screen. If you have a newer website and you like it, and it is performing its business function well, do not reinvent the wheel. Instead, a skilled programmer from MFM can go into your current site's code and make it "responsive" for mobile devices.
If you need a brand new website, we will create one with you that is responsive. You will update your site the same as ever, in one place. The changes take effect on all layouts.
We can even make the mobile layout feature some things and not others, because people have different habits and expectations when they look for information and perform tasks on their phones.
Our techniques will help improve your site's usability and speed up page loads, and can bring mobile-specific features to the forefront to increase visitor satisfaction and time spent on your site.
Do I Need Mobile App Development?
A mobile application ("app") works on a specific mobile device's operating system and is downloaded to the device. Apps focus on a specific set of functions. If you are wondering if you need an app or just a responsive website or a mobile optimization, some questions to ask are:
- If I force people to take time downloading an app, are the benefits my site provides worth that extra step?
- Will people perform functions on my app that they need to do on a frequent, regular basis over time?
- Are those transactions things they spend more time on, or things that tie into their lifestyle?
MFM's Developers
MFM hires different developers based on the type of project requirements our clients present to us.
We have carefully screened hundreds of people who work in the field as independent website, mobile and custom app developers.
We believe our folks are among the very best in the world at what they do—whether they are new and up-and-coming stars or seasoned vets of the industry.
Plus, we hire them because they are EASY to work with and WANT you to succeed.
Are Apps Expensive?
Not really. But it depends on exactly how customized your creation needs to be.
You may think you need some features, or the boss wants a certain gizmo, but in actuality you might really need something in between, or entirely different.
We often counsel first-time app clients to create an app with us that can be "staged" over time.
It is much easier and more efficient to start with a highly functional, well-designed app, and build it up over time and through testing and evaluation of how your customers are using it. Don't guess and create a more complicated app or website than your customers expect or want.
Contact Us
Contact us today to learn more. We look forward to discussing your individual needs, and how we might work together to increase your results.

Plugging away since 1999, The National finally hit mainstream success with the release of their 2010 album High Violet. Of course, this entailed their first world tour, but in the new documentary Mistaken For Strangers, it's only the backdrop for the relationship between lead singer Matt Berninger and his younger brother Tom, who had no idea that these short videos he was shooting would turn into a public document of their troubled, if still loving brotherhood.
We talk with Israeli rockers Vaadat Charigim about some of their favorite records.
We talk with Yvonne Ambree and Jesse Barnes of Take Berlin about some of the records which influenced the recording of their debut EP, Lionize.

Engineering Education for Social Justice
Critical Explorations and Opportunities
- Editors
- (view affiliations)
Part of the Philosophy of Engineering and Technology book series (POET, volume 10)
Part of the Philosophy of Engineering and Technology book series (POET, volume 10)
Hoping to help transform engineering into a more socially just field of practice, this book offers various perspectives and strategies while highlighting key concepts and themes that help readers understand the complex relationship between engineering education and social justice. This volume tackles topics and scopes ranging from the role of Buddhism in socially just engineering to the blinding effects of ideologies in engineering to case studies on the implications of engineered systems for social justice.
This book aims to serve as a framework for interventions or strategies to make social justice more visible in engineering education and enhance scholarship in the emerging field of Engineering and Social Justice (ESJ). This creates a 'toolbox' for engineering educators and students to make social justice a central theme in engineering education.

Top Connecticut blues bands to perform, compete in CT Blues Challenge at Black-Eyed Sally's
HARTFORD — Eighteen blues music acts from all over Connecticut will perform in the Connecticut Blues Society's 23rd Annual Band Blues Challenge, which begins Sunday afternoon at Black-Eyed Sally's in Hartford.
The Blues Challenge, organized each year by the Connecticut Blues Society, is part of the qualification process for the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge, which will take place in January 2019 on Beale Street in Memphis,
This year's Connecticut Blues Challenge will be on Sunday afternoons April 15, April 22, April 29 and May 20 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Black-Eyed Sally's, 350 Asylum St.
Admission is free and the public is invited. Southern barbecue, Cajun food and a full array of refreshments are available for purchase.
The lineup for Sunday's opener will be as follows: 3 p.m.: Bridgeport Johnny; 3:40 p.m.: The Kris Heaton Band; 4:20 p.m.: Chris Lynch & the Pit Crew; 5 p.m.: Murray The Wheel, and 5:40 p.m.: Six Pack Of Blues.
Performing on April 29 will be: 3 p.m.: The Whiskey Rebels; 3:40 p.m.: Chris MacKay & The ToneShifters; 4:20 p.m.: Carl Ricci & 706 Union Ave, and 5 p.m.: The D. Smith Blues Band.
Taking the stage on April 22 will be: 3 p.m.: Richie and the Red Hot Blues; 3:40 p.m.: Cobalt Express; 4:20 p.m.: Vitamin B-3; 5 p.m.: The Redliners, and 5:40 p.m.: Jake Kulak & The Low Down.
Three weeks later, on May 20, the challenge's preliminaries will conclude with: 3 p.m.: The Howling Hound Dogs; 3:40 p.m.: Black Snake Boots; 4:20 p.m.: Comstock Station, and 5 p.m.: Cole Morson Band.
"We had more bands register this year," Connecticut Blues Society President Ed Stack said in a news release. "I think the reason is because we switched to Sundays instead of Thursdays of previous years."
A panel of judges which will include blues radio DJs, musicians and hardcore fans will award each band a score of one to ten in the categories of Blues Content, Vocal Talent, Instrumental Talent, Originality, and Stage Presence — the same criteria used in the International Blues Challenge.
The winners of each weekly preliminary event plus a "wild card" act — the second place act with the best numerical score overall — will compete in the finals, which this year will be part of the Black-Eyed & Blues Fest on Saturday, June 23, at Bushnell Park in Hartford, beginning at 3 p.m.
The Black-Eyed & Blues Fest also will feature national blues acts Slam Allen and Studebaker John.
The band winning the finals competition will receive at least $2,000 to represent Connecticut in the International Blues Challenge. Connecticut Blues Challenge winners also receive a number of invitations to perform throughout the state during the course of the year.
Last year's winning band was EasyBaby.
The Connecticut Band Blues Challenge is organized annually by the Connecticut Blues Society, a nonprofit organization formed to preserve the blues as a unique musical form, supporting Connecticut's community of musicians and fans.

Oh! Sugar, by Valerie Leduc photography is sharing the front page of the South Shore Breaker this morning with Gillian & Brandon. I had to do a post about it. First, I read the article online and then I ran to my door to see the actual newspaper. Call me old-fashioned if you want to, but it's only then that I fully realized that my pictures were there, right on the front of the paper, printed in 46 000 copies, sent to every house along the south shore... We use the web every day, posting pictures of our work on Facebook or on our websites, but there is nothing like the feeling of seeing your work in print. When you do an artistic profession, most of the time you don't really know how your work will be received by others. You do it just because you love it and you cross your fingers that it might pay the bills for another month. I'm pleased that Katie Ingram choose to write her article mainly about self-confidence. I started to do that kind of photography to show that every woman is beautiful. That was, and still is, my way to turn my back on all of the unrealistic portrayals of women that magazines and publicity shows us. So, this is my way to change the world: I recycle and compost, I raise independent and strong girls, and I do boudoir photography! Cheers to you Gillian, and all of these women who came to see us for a little bit of fun and self-esteem!!!
Beach House Boudoir
Some of the photos from our last Boudoir photo event near Bridgewater, NS! We had such a great time at John's beach house... Let me share with you few photos done that day. More lifestyle, more boudoir,.. very soft and gentle. A different style for each personality. When I take a picture of someone, my challenge is to find in few minutes who they are and find the perfect angle and style making them shinning. I just love it!
Day of the dead
Let me introduce you to Amanda, my make up artist. Whatever I ask her.. she can do it! With her, imagination has no limits! What a talented person. We spent an afternoon together at my studio near Bridgewater working on this photoshoot. We did all this with two babies under 1 and a half crawling everywhere. You can't see it, but behind Amanda, somewhere in the woods, my daughter was there exploring. Sometimes, I had to move a bit to make sure her pretty face was not in the frame. One hour to do her make up and we spent maybe 15 to 20 minutes taking photos... couldn't spend more time, the kids where everywhere, we got bite by the mosquitos and the sun was going down... Oh well! Things looks easier sometimes when you just look at the picture.. and it's a good thing. These pictures are creative and she did an amazing job with the make up as usual. All this to say, if you have any ideas, feel free to share it with us. Let us make your Oh! Sugar dream a reality!
You can reach Amanda Publicover anytime for your wedding or any other occasion.
Show me how you Burlesque!
Second day, second post! I think it's kind of fun actually to have a blog. Not that I want to pretend to have something important to say... but at least I have something to show. So, today I want to show you the result of Sasha's Burlesque photography session. She was the winner of my contest when I was seeking for model. Here it is Sasha... Thank you for your patience. Just one more thing to say... YOU'RE GORGEOUS!!!
Mary & Nick
Here we go! First post in this new web site, new blog! So let me share with you this fantastic photo session that I had with Mary and Nick. Working with you guys is always pure pleasure. They are so open and Mary has always these fanstastics ideas more creative each time I see her! Your enthousiasm is contegious girl! Thank you Mary and Nick to let me photograph you, In this session, we are far from the Mary so nervous who came to my house the first time. It feels good to be trusted like that! You're an amazing couple and I can't wait to take your wedding pictures, it's just gonna be so awesome!!!!
Here's where you can read about my latest adventures, see photos from recent shoots, and have a peek into a day in the life of a photographer!
