Auditions suck, plain and simple. We are dispensing with some kind of lame cattle call audition for our four week run. The Internet is the way to go and as such, you will share your talent careers with us online.
One of the best things about this initial run of The 24 Hour Plays: Chicago is the fact that we will need 80 different actors, 20 for each of the four performances. 80! Not since Ben Jonson's Bartholomew's Fair has such a ridiculous amount of actors been needed for a run of performances.
By submitting your information into the List of Actors form below, you are effectively auditioning for this June run of The 24 Hour Plays. (Infomercial Voice) But that's not all!
If we are successful with this first run, Just Say Yes Entertainment will start an ongoing run of 24 Hour Play shows on every Monday night into the conceivable future. So whether or not you want to be involved with the June run, your submission here could allow you to be cast in future productions from this fall on.
And even if you hate us, this directory will allow you to be found by directors and producers in Chicago that are interested in casting a person like yourself.
So...go for it!

Baltic Sea Tourism Center
Das Baltic Sea Tourism Center (BSTC) verfolgt das Ziel, operationelle Strukturen für eine verbesserte Kommunikation und Kooperation im Ostseeraum zu entwickeln. Das BSTC soll dabei als Schnittstelle die touristischen Schlüsselakteure in einer festen Struktur vereinen und die Entwicklung einer nachhaltigen, verantwortungsvollen und langfristigen Kooperationsplattform für den Tourismus im Ostseeraum fördern.
Project summary
– applied in the 2nd call of the Interreg South Baltic Programme 2014 – 2020 –
Tourism, especially sustainable, maritime and international, is identified as an important factor for blue and green growth in the EU, however facing common challenges like seasonality. Moreover, the EUSBSR Action Plan states that tourism in the region is non-cooperative, especially due to "an asymmetric readiness to cooperate at transnational level". Strategic and political structures have been created with the EUSBSR PA Tourism and the Steering-Committee of national tourism ministries. However, a gap of operational services has to be closed ensuring the involvement of tourism organisations and businesses to realise the green and blue growth potential and to make the destination globally competitive.
The aim of the project is the establishment of an improved cross-border tourism communication and cooperation facilitated by a permanent service unit – the Baltic Sea Tourism Center. It associates key tourism stakeholders and promotes sustainable and international tourism in and beyond the SBR as an intermediate on operational level. In the project a committed and experienced group of partners will (1) set-up operational structures for sustainable tourism communication and cooperation at transnational level (BSTC service unit); (2) investigate, develop and implement sustainable ACTIVE TOURISM products in the green and blue tourism market around cultural and natural heritage assets to extend the tourist season and (3) launch a smart international destination campaign in selected source markets to increase the number of international visitors to the SBR. The selected pilot services (ACTIVE TOURISM products and destination campaign) shall produce best-practices to demonstrate the capabilities of the BSTC service unit for future partners/members. As a flagship project, the BSTC directly implements the EUSBSR action plan and will have a considerable impact on sustainable and international tourism development in the region.
Project title: BSTC: Baltic Sea Tourism Center – Sustainable development structures for ACTIVE TOURISM

01.01.2017 – 31.12.2019

The Nature Conservancy North Carolina
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) North Carolina works to protect the natural wonders of North Carolina and conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. The Orton Foundation supports TNC's work with longleaf pine restoration in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina.
- TNC is a signatory of America's Longleaf Range-wide Conservation Plan, a goal to maintain and restore biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability across the historic range of the longleaf pine forest
- Through controlled burning, TNC reduces the threat of catastrophic wildfire that can damage human health and property as well as longleaf pine forests
- In 2016, TNC protected 4,671 acres of longleaf pine forests, Roanoke River flood plains, and mountain wetlands including a 966-acre parcel in Brunswick County that is home to rare species such as Venus flytraps and gopher frogs
- TNC launched its 2017 controlled burn season in Southeastern North Carolina, planning to burn several thousand acres on its preserves in Brunswick, Pender, Bladen, Columbus, and Onslow counties. TNC is also burning on the newly acquired Orton Creek tract in Southeastern Brunswick County. This 968-acre tract, which lies just south of Boiling Spring Lakes, contains good stands of longleaf pine that will benefit from the reintroduction of fire. Restoration of that property, including this year's controlled burns, is funded by a grant from Louis Bacon's Orton Foundation.
Learn more about Nature Conservancy's work with longleaf pines forests here.

While vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions, stringent attention must be paid to its safety. Vaccines in national vaccination programs are generally safe, but on rare occasions some individuals experience serious adverse events. In addition to the suffering of the individual, the occurrence of adverse events may also compromise public confidence in vaccination. If researchers and clinicians can learn through which mechanisms adverse events occur, they will be able to improve the design of vaccines to make them safer, develop tests to predict risk of adverse events and, subsequently, take appropriate preventive measures in certain high risk individuals. An increased risk of febrile seizures has been observed in children in the immediate period following administration of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. It has been estimated that 3 to 16 additional cases of febrile seizures per 10,000 children can be attributed to MMR vaccination. Preliminary studies have suggested that adverse events of vaccination may have genetic determinants.
The aim of this project is to investigate whether any genetic variants (polymorphisms) are associated with increased risk of febrile seizures following MMR vaccination. This project, the first of its kind, will apply modern genetics technology and analyze more than 1,000,000 genetic variants in 1000 children who have suffered febrile seizures following MMR vaccination, 1000 children who have suffered febrile seizures unrelated to MMR vaccination and 1000 healthy controls. A replication study, always necessary to verify results in large genetics studies, will involve an additional 2000 children. The project will take advantage of the exceptional research resources available in Denmark and will combine health information from nationwide registers with genetic information based on samples obtained from a national biobank. This study will not only provide new insights into the safety of the MMR vaccine, but will demonstrate the feasibility and value of studying the genetics of vaccine safety in general.
This project aims to investigate the genetic determinants of an adverse event - febrile seizures - following measles, mumps and rubella vaccination. National vaccination programs fighting infectious diseases are of vital importance to public health and their safety must be as close to perfection as possible. Learning the mechanisms through which adverse events occur has important implications for the future design of vaccines and for the practice of vaccination.

Natural Gas & Renewable Energy – Future Energy Sources?
If you've lived through the past decade, you are well aware of the growing concern surrounding protecting the environment, and companies restructuring their missions to include green initiatives. Whether you believe in global warming or not, there is no denying that we are in need of clean and renewable energy resources. Greenhouse gas emissions are rapidly on the rise, and as a result, the world is heating up fast—perhaps the reason for frequently occurring natural disasters, such as floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes. While non-renewable energy resources like natural gas are affordable, they are limited by nature and pollute the environment. The development and implementation of renewable resources like solar and wind power is crucial for future energy use. However, natural gas still remains one of the main sources of energy. Is there a way for natural gas and renewable energy to work together?
According to a recent Brattle Group report for the Texas Clean Energy Coalition, the answer is yes. Coalition chairman, and state Senator Kip Averitt, explains that very soon Texas is going to require a considerable amount of new electricity generation, and that the two sources of natural gas and renewable energy could work together on the Texas grid, rather than compete. Texas leads the nation in wind generation, but the state is also the largest producer of natural gas, making the Lone Star State a prime test market for the integration of these two sources of electricity generation.
Energy sources like wind and solar power displace non-renewable resources, such as natural gas because they are cleaner and renewable. The wind and sun are free and limitless. Yet, wind and solar energy are not always reliable because the sources cannot be stored, and they are not consistently available on days with intermittent wind and broken sunshine. On the other hand, with improved distribution and technological advancements over the years, natural gas is being used in new ways. According to a report by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, an increased use of natural gas in key sectors of the economy like manufacturing, buildings, transportation and power generation can greatly help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the near term. In 2011, even as overall electricity generation increased, United States power plants have reduced emissions, based on recent data from the Energy Information Administration. This is mainly a result of increased use of natural gas and a growing reliance on renewable energy.
Natural gas is used across almost every sector of the economy. The graph below portrays the proportion of natural gas used in each sector, showing that the industrial sector uses the greatest amount of natural gas in the United States.
Demand response (DR) has become an important component of electric system planning. Utilities and regulatory commissions are setting goals to take wasteful power plants off the grid and get a higher percentage of energy supply from natural gas and renewable resources. However, demand for electricity continues to increase. Utilities will need to develop a mix of generation sources going forward to provide enough power to consumers, especially when hot summer days pinch electric reserves, leading to emergency notices where customers are asked to conserve electricity use to prevent strain on the grid. Find out how demand response works by clicking this link.
There are some challenges to increasing the use of natural gas including overcoming government regulations and the distribution and transmission of natural gas. Yet, by pairing as a backup with renewable energy, it is believed to provide a reliable and cleaner source of electricity generation. Renewable energy generators have high capital costs, but essentially no fuel costs, while natural gas generation has low capital costs and variable fuel costs.
With rising natural gas prices, some might say utilities will switch back to more coal generation, but it's highly unlikely considering current and expected emission regulations. Together, natural gas and renewable resources generate power while emitting fewer greenhouse gases than coal. It's safe to say the partnering of natural gas and renewable resources will be a great source of electricity generation in the near future.

Call to action with a productfilm
At the beginning of any business there is a vision: with an innovative product or service, the world may not change immediately, but at least enrich it and offer added value to as many people as possible. To present your potential customers and business partners as authentically as possible, both during the initial spirit of optimism and after a few years of company existence, the passion that lies behind your entrepreneurial spirit, a product film is the perfect choice.
New concepts show our customers new goals to move users to "call to action". New perspectives in terms of quality open up new dimensions for us to discover and define the product in a new or even completely new way. It's no secret that 81% of shoppers online are watching a video about the product, before making a purchase decision. This allows our customers to visually memorize the overall picture of their products and brands.
Productfilms give transparency and arouse emotions
Realizing dreams also means making them experienceable. Product videos give us an authentic insight into what the product can or is. Visually emotional, we show the buyers products with impressive images of what it is all about and which USPs are special here. So you convince with transparency and gain sympathy. Especially for products in which complex technological processes take place, it is often difficult to give a concise overview of the processes in short form. Here, our original mix of concept, idea and visualization brings the product a whole lot closer to the buyer.
Product videos are not an isolated case
More than fifteen years ago Hegenberg Productions started to train the eyes for the fascination of product videos and today you have years of experience in the demanding field of cinematographic product video. Above all, the challenge here is to skillfully stage the target object and to create a coherent overall concept, instead of a pure explanatory character, which is either original, emotional or tense.

And so it would have remained, except that Mr Fildes, a former public schoolboy, accidentally copied the young lady into the ungentlemanly exchange.
Now, not only has Jenni Palmer seen his expletive-laden description of her, so have thousands of workers in the City after the emails went viral.
As if that was not embarrassing enough for the captain of the Old Salopian Football Club first XI, Miss Palmer is still his housemate.
His bosses at property firm GL Hearn have taken a dim view of him using a work email for the exchange and confirmed they were looking into the matter.
As Mr Fildes surmised in one of the emails: "I am in so much ---- it's unreal."
The exchange began last Wednesday, after his friend bumped into Miss Palmer, a keen skier and marathon runner, during a night out.
Describing her as "a looker to say the least!!", Sebastian Marsh inquired, in the course of an email about their next football fixture, as to whether he could "have a go".
In reply, Mr Fildes described his ex in very derogatory terms and claimed that she had "messed" him around.
However, he added: "Feel free to pursue, yes, she is HOT!"
Mr Marsh responded: "She sounds brilliant … just the sort of thing I am looking for in the summer months. My defences are up and I am up for the challenge …" Mr Fildes then accidentally copied Miss Palmer into the conversation while passing on her email address.
Minutes later he realised his mistake and sent his friend frantic messages asking: "Can you recall emails?!"
He acknowledged that the debacle could spell the end of what friendship he had left with his housemate. "I still live with her and that's why I am in so so so much trouble, we didn't get on before so this will be the final nail in the coffin," Mr Fildes wrote.
"I sent her a follow up email saying I don't really think she is a ---- just trying to put you off her! Not very convincing.
----" Within days the messages had spread among City firms after Mr Marsh forwarded them to friends, who circulated them more widely.
Mr Marsh has been suspended by Miller Insurance, his employer, while an investigation is carried out.
Meanwhile, those sent the emails have been adding their own, ironic, comments. One female reader wrote: "I might drop Seb and Harry an email and have a crack – they sound like lovely guys!"
Mr Fildes, who grew up in Chester, but lives with Miss Palmer in Fulham, south-west London, is described on the website of the club for alumni of Shrewsbury School as "prolific on and off the pitch". He was not responding to calls at work yesterday. A spokesman for GL Hearn said the company "upholds the highest levels of professional conduct at all times" and is "looking into this issue to see how we can prevent a future occurrence". She added that Mr Fildes had "apologised unreservedly to all parties involved".
There was no sign of Miss Palmer at the shared house yesterday.

Aw, that looks cute and so much less clinical that foot creams usually do. Going shopping after the 21st is always funny though, Boots usually rammed with men looking confused and lost - poor guys!ReplyDelete
christmas present?. im getting this for myself! loool
thanks for the heads up xx
This is a lovely set/box, I have something similar from Avon that's ancient! But I will now look to get this when mine runs out!ReplyDelete
i have used this foot cream and i quite like it. i like the smell and the fact that it looks kind of stylish (anyway, way better than your average foot cream) and yeah, it leaves your feet soft and nice, but don't think it would be a wonder-product for people who have really, but really bad bad skin on their feet. but it is worth itReplyDelete
That does look nice, clearly if you need industrial strength cream for your hooves the only way to go is Flexitol (talking from experience), but if you have dainty little toes that just need a bit of help this would be perfect. Although I am weird, I cant sleep in socks - it makes me feel like I can't breathe!!ReplyDelete
"are stupidly long and you're out shopping" (verb! not possessive pronoun)
"everyone suffers with their feet"
(possessive pronoun! not adverb)
It's not that difficult!
I think you mean it's not that difficult for you.
Having said that I can't say I care too much and I really don't think my readers do either!
Ohhh I love marshmallow so if my feet can smell like them that win's my vote :) My best friend works there so I will ask her to bag me some, as I am always on my feet and they get ignored most of the time so this would be lush. AWW so glad to be back to blogging, hope you are well Fee and going to catch up on your other posts xxxxxReplyDelete
R.e. ruined feet from killer heels (oh so worth it though!), try 'Appy Feet' if there's one close enough to you. Bit weird to begin with but my feet were unbelieveeeeably soft afterwards!ReplyDelete
@Vintage and Cake - Glad your back and seriously I think I will HAVE to get some too...smells so good for some reason.
Tell me what you think if you get it.
@Laura - Thanks for the comment, I actually tried it out about a month ago and did really love it. Really noticed a difference...but sadly haven't been back with Christmas and everything.

- Swiss chard stems, chopped
- 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup onion, sliced
- 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 small sprig dill
Add chard stems and onions to a small jelly jar — I went with a small jar in this instance because even a full bunch of chard won't yield many stems.
Whisk together the vinegar, sugar, Sriracha and dill until the sugar has disintegrated. Pour over the chard stems and onions, covering everything (add water if it doesn't cover completely.
Refrigerate for a few days.

The head of security operations at Facebook, Regina Wallace-Jones, is in charge of protecting 1.6 billion people. She's an engineer who does math and science every day, but she doesn't think those skills are the only ones helping her to tackle challenges at Facebook.
Instead, Wallace-Jones believes that her individual life experiences, from public policy to motherhood, have also been valuable in helping Facebook to design its security solutions for real people, she said in a talk today at the Connect 2016 Conference in Seattle, hosted by Women Who Code.
"Don't let anyone tell you that engineering is only about math and science or that engineering expertise is all you have to offer the world," she said. "Your experiences and your perspectives can help inspire a company to find a different approach to a problem or encourage someone else to speak up."
Wallace-Jones, along with other members of the Facebook security team, volunteers in a low-income middle school in San Jose, Calif. where she has tried to teach these life lessons to her students, the majority of whom are women. In her class on computer science and cyber security, Wallace-Jones encourages students to leverage all of their experiences and interests to engineer solutions to real world problems.
Now, her students have career goals that go beyond just technical problems and solutions, she said.
"One girl wants to be an immigration attorney," Wallace-Jones said. "She believes that the cyber security skills that she has, and will further develop, will allow her to protect her clients and their personal information. Another student wants to work in surgical robotics and plans to create security software that will protect those machines from cyber attacks. Another wants to teach."
Wallace-Jones began her own career in tech very focused on only the technical aspects of engineering, she said. She worked as a systems engineer for Motorola, creating a satellite system that would give people access to communication in remote places, like archeologists out on digs or researchers living in the poles. However, she felt like she was cut off from contributing anything more than just her particular lines of code, she said.
"My role in bringing that product to life felt very small," she said. "The community that I was surrounded by did not seem to be a community that was particularly inclined to allow me to have a voice or a part in the product and process."
So Wallace-Jones decided to go back to graduate school at UCLA for a master's degree in public policy. She wanted to expand the scope of the problems she was working on and feel more connected to her work.
"I thought that I would be more focused on people and challenging the world in public policy," she said. "Less focused on the procedural stuff that I was doing in tech that I didn't feel very attached to."
Eventually, Wallace-Jones re-entered the tech scene at Yahoo, running technology and operations. She stayed there for five years before joining the cyber-security team at Facebook.
"The big thing I think that Facebook has done for me is bring together engineering and voice," she said. "Facebook is all about individual voice and social sharing and celebrating all the different parts of our lives…Inside, the company is like that, too. It's a place where I feel like my own voice really matters, which is not something that I always felt elsewhere in tech."
Wallace-Jones now works for a company that sees that the value of engineers goes beyond their math and science chops, she said. Facebook understands that engineers are motivated problem solvers who can have a big impact when they are encouraged to bring a wealth of diverse ideas, talents and experiences to the table. Engineers whose individual perspectives and experiences are valued are able to come up with better solutions and — just as important — even better questions for the company to ask, she said.
"The impact of engineers goes well beyond the mobile apps, the gadgets, and the security systems that we build," she said. "The quest to engineer meaningful solutions…is not just about math and science, it's about making amazing solutions for real people in the real world. It's about pushing mankind to its outer limits by inspiring the world to imagine bigger solutions than our hands can hold."

On January 31, CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma posted photos of the two companies' teams with Ma on Facebook. Calling it "an awesome board meeting", Sharma said that Ma rooted for the company's tagline. Sharma's colleagues Amit Sinha, Vikas Garg and Amit Gupta and SAIF Partners' Ravi Adusumalli and Vivek Mathur were also present at the meeting.
What an awesome board meeting when Jack Ma himself says #PaytmKaro pic.twitter.com/vtGw2aTJ1B— Vijay Shekhar (@vijayshekhar) January 31, 2016
Sharma has previously described his relationship with Ma as friendly. Executives from both companies have had regular interactions in China and Noida. "It's as if Jack Ma is conducting an executive MBA for our executives," he told ET last year. "Ma tells us we should build a company that is worth a Nobel Prize." For that to happen, Sharma's team could use all the pep talk from Ma it can get.

People have been making sex toys from almost the beginning of time.
And the human race's passion for inventing even more, er, unusual ones doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon, if these Luis Suarez nipple clamps and dragon penis dildos are anything to go by.
So, with these in mind, here are some of the unsexiest sex toys of all time – a few of these are borderline disturbing…
1. Just-in Beaver blow up doll
Inspired by the world's favourite teenage star, this unofficial blow up doll would really creep out guests to your house. Leave it in your lounge to ward off burglars.
2. Oral sex light
Bluetooth headsets were about the least sexy invention ever. Now you can bring the creepy early 2000s stock broker look to the bedroom with this deeply unsexy 'oral sex light'. Added points for the brilliant slogan 'don't go down without it'.
3. Scorpion vibrator
This absolutely terrifying bullet vibrator is for some reason shaped LIKE A SCORPION. Leave that lying around if you want to give yourself a fright…
4. Fox tail
We appreciate that this is probably sexy to some people, but for the rest of us it's a bit Cruella de Vil. Also your cat/dog would almost certainly get hold of it and drag it into the garden. On the plus side it *is* apparently vegan friendly.
5. Eiffel Tower dildo
Who among us hasn't wanted to have sex with a monument ? *insert Nelson's Column joke*. Well now you can live out all of your building fetishes with this delightful device.
6. Edible underwear
Whilst this might not seem completely horrific, according to one reviewer it tastes awful and 'doesn't chew and doesn't melt in your mouth. Kinda like peanut butter where it sticks to the top of your mouth and just wont go away.' Grim.
7. Sex cheques
Bring the tedium of personal finance into the bedroom.
If you haven't felt inspired by any of the above, how about making one yourself? These super unsexy DIY projects involve a lot of vegetables, carving a hole in soap and something confusing with balloons. You can look inside the book here.

RICHMOND — Virginia takes pride in having its own culture and history, its own unique way of doing business.
But does the commonwealth also need its own money?
Maybe so, says Del. Robert Marshall (R-Prince William), who is pushing a bill in the General Assembly that would mandate a study of whether the state "should adopt an alternate medium of commerce or currency to serve as an alternative to the currency distributed by the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown of the Federal Reserve System."
With ongoing high-stakes debates underway over transportation funding, education reform and Senate redistricting, creating a new currency may not be high on anyone's to-do list in Richmond. But a House subcommittee did advance Marshall's measure Thursday, ensuring it will at least get a look from the full House Rules Committee and drawing a sharp response from Democrats.
A study by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission "is expensive," complained Del. Mark Sickles (Fairfax), the Democratic Caucus chairman. "It can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Are we seriously going to spend taxpayer resources studying a replacement to the world's backbone currency? Are we descending into la la land?" Sickles asked.
Marshall had not responded to a request for comment as of this posting. (His bill states that the study can't cost more than $22,560.)
Marshall's bill expresses concern that the value of greenbacks could be destroyed by "hyperinflation." It notes that "from our nation's founding, there has been concern regarding the country's monetary and banking systems and their potential to harm the citizenry," and that Thomas Jefferson himself "expressed deep concern about the social instability that may ultimately result from bank-issued paper money."
Several other states are also studying or have proposed studying the issuance of their own currencies.
Marshall has made similar proposals before, though this is the first time his bill has gotten subcommittee approval. In 2011 he said such a measure was necessary because "state legislatures have to get a little more creative and savvy to counter the buffoonery that's been plaguing Washington."

Hanover trade fair: Revolutionary compressed air solutions in practice
How do we set new standards in energy efficiency? Visitors to the 2018 Hanover trade fair can experience this at close quarters from 23 to 27 April. For BOGE will be presenting its concepts for pioneering compressed air solutions twice: at the community stand of the it's OWL leading-edge cluster (hall 16, stand A04) and at the company stand of the cluster partner Weidmüller (hall 11, stand B58). We will be announcing our BOGE Analytics service solution and the associated BOGE CIP continuous improvement programme tangibly and clearly here.
Weidmüller will be operating the BOGE HST 220 high speed turbo compressor for the entire duration of the trade fair. Our jointly implemented predictive maintenance software precisely forecasts technical changes to this. Visitors to the trade fair stand can follow the data in real time thanks to the live application. For example, if you manipulate the cooling system of the compressor to simulate motor problems, the software reports an anomaly in the running behaviour. Users can then respond in good time in practice.

Well, after nearly two weeks without an egg (at least, I'm pretty sure it's been Eloise laying all those other eggs), Georgina Henrietta is back to laying. Today was such a beautiful day, so after I finished a bit of puttering around in the garden – noted the new yellow blossoms on the spaghetti squash vine, planted a fig tree YC gave me last fall, staked some supports for the purple leaf plum tree that has been fighting against its recent transplant, watered the vegetable garden boxes and the potato-planted cuttings – I laid down in the hammock to write and to read a little bit of Kristin Kimball's The Dirty Life which really is a fantastic, quirky, and funny read about farming and her experience in going from life in the Big Apple to life on a big farm. Meanwhile, GH decided to do some laying of her own. She hopped up into the coop "loft," and when I opened the door after she came out thirty minutes later, there was an egg. It was covered in the dirt from her most recent dust bath, but a beautiful, perfectly formed egg nonetheless.
I'm not sure if it was the VetRx on her comb and wattle, the diatomaceous earth (DE) in their food and dusting box, the pumpkin seed treats, the yogurt mash, the apple cider vinegar (ACV) in their water, the fence that now protects GH&E from being harassed too much by Boomer, or the lack of handling in the last two weeks. Practically a hen spa over here if you couldn't tell. But in any case, she is laying again – beautiful, light brown eggs.

I am a Strange Loop. You're a Strange Loop. Wouldn't Ceptr likely be Strange Loop too?
Douglas Hofstadter, in Godel, Escher, Bach and I am a Strange Loop, weaves a pretty compelling tail of how mind and consciousness emerge from self-referential systems configured in a kind of "strange loop." Our consciousness or possibly all consciousness may emerge from this sort of feedback loop with strange interplay between levels.
From a very early point in our MetaCurrency work we identified an underlying pattern of co-emergence and co-creation that seems make for very interesting bootstrapping dynamics - the ability for complexity to emerge from simplicity. In our internal shorthand, we refer to this as "two hands writing" in reference to M.C. Escher's vivid illustration of this principle.
Not too surprisingly, it turns out that this kind of self-referential feedback loop is central to the architecture of Ceptr. I tried to summarize it in brief, dense prose in the Ceptr Revelation document, but for most people, a bit more explanation and examples are probably necessary to understand it better. I'm going to try to lay it out more clearly here.
For Ceptr, the strange loop comes from our solution to the problem of infinite regress. Just like you could say that in the world, every object exists in some space - a space that gives it room and orderly structure out of which its existence is built.
When I say that every running receptor exists in the (address) space of another receptor, it may at first glance seem that this is fundamentally impossible. Sure, I can imagine that a X receptor exists inside a Y, which exists inside a Z, but doesn't this have to bottom out somewhere. If EVERY receptor exists inside another doesn't this create an infinite regress issue? Doesn't some level have to be the fundamental level which doesn't exist inside of another level?
Well… yes and no. In the case of Ceptr, it happens that the solution comes from a strange self-referential way that receptors, which are VIRTUAL machines, all have to run on some PHYSICAL device. And those PHYSICAL devices all must have addresses in the VIRTUAL space of the Ceptr Network to be able to route messages and talk to each other.
In some ways this is really clear and obvious. It is also quite profound. And I think the way that we implement it in Ceptr, makes the profundity more clear than current networking protocols do.
[ To add later: ]
- Diagram of strange loop in Ceptr with feedback between virtual and physical levels.
- Show how the network itself exists/runs INSIDE the nodes, and yet the nodes exist INSIDE the network. (another diagram?)
- Spell it out longer and more clearly, because the one paragraph explanation in the Revelation, while concise, may be a bit too dense for most people to process.

European Jewish Congress
Paris, December 12, 2010
Ladies and gentlemen,
France knows what Europe owes to men and women of the Jewish faith.
France upholds a model of society where everyone can find their place, whatever their faith, whatever their religion. A society where the free exercise of religion is guaranteed by law, where laïcité [secularism] (1) is an expression of the State's neutrality and of tolerance, where religious discrimination has no place, where anti-Semitism is considered an insult to humanist values, a scourge to be combated relentlessly. A society where spirituality, far from dividing men, brings them together in the hope of peace.
Ladies and gentlemen,
There is no peace among nations without a wish to share, talk and live together.
The quality of relations between States and Jewish communities is essential to society's cohesion. Previously, as Interior Minister and then Justice Minister, and now as Foreign Minister, I've always worked in an atmosphere of mutual trust with the bodies representing the Jewish community. (…)
Together we've worked to make synagogues, schools and cultural centres safe, prevent and combat anti-Semitic acts by means of dialogue between prosecutors' offices and the representative institutions, and fight discrimination, particularly that conducted through calls to boycott produce which is kosher or of Israeli origin. (…)
France is Israel's friend. She wants to do everything to achieve a fair and lasting peace in the region. We want a guarantee of security for Israel and her full integration in the region. At the same time, we want the creation of an independent, viable and democratic Palestinian State, established on the basis of the 1967 borders. We want Jerusalem to be proclaimed as capital of the two States.
France does not forget Gilad Shalit, the French-Israeli citizen kidnapped by Hamas on 25 June 2006. Nothing can justify the treatment he is receiving, in contempt of the rules of international law. We remain totally committed to securing his release. Our thoughts are with him. Rest assured that we shall not give up.
Moreover, I'm aware of the worries created by the Iranian regime. France will speak the language of resolve. France doesn't accept that the Iranian regime can destabilize the region. France doesn't accept that Iran can obtain a nuclear weapon. If Iran's leaders don't clear up the doubt as to their intentions, all economic sanctions will have to be envisaged.
Beyond the Middle East, France is committed to peace and respect for human rights. Peace can't be reduced to diplomatic contacts between States. It involves mutual understanding between peoples, in their diversity, their differences. It requires that, in nations torn apart by fratricidal wars, the forces of reconciliation be encouraged. (…)
I value the role of Europe's Jews in the cohesion of our societies. I know their commitment to humanist values. I'm aware of your commitment to democracy and human rights. I'm aware of your desire for peace, with due regard for the legitimate diversity of traditions and cultures.
Ladies and gentlemen, Europe's future will be forged with you, in an atmosphere of tolerance, openness and friendship between peoples.
Today, like yesterday, you can count on my full support and on that of France.
Thank you./.
(1) Laïcité goes beyond the concept of secularism, embracing the strict neutrality of the State.

Heads up, this post may contain affiliate links and any sales made through such links will reward me a small commission.
I received this comment today.
"Love the trip reports great advice and great pictures we also love the grand..
We also are lucky to have a couple of bucks in the bank but close ups of a rolex, bmw mentions expensive shoe o.c.d and other ventures into selfindulgence let it all down a touch but hey some need to show some just know…"
I took this the way I think it was intended, as a rap on the knuckles. I generally don't post snarky comments. It is my blog after all. (In reality, I have only gotten one other snarky comment and I think that was from a stalker who was jealous of my shoes – LOL).
But I decided to address this one because I think people often make erroneous assumptions about people's lives when they are getting, basically, a few snapshots of that life.
I'm not going to pretend like we are struggling or don't have good incomes. Nobody would believe it and it's not true. However, we also are not rolling in buckets of money and we work hard for the money we do have. No trust funds for us : (
I do have lots of shoes, and most of them were bought on clearance at DSW. Zung does drive a BMW, and he races it. An expensive hobby to be sure. (It's really more of a passion for him). I also clean my own house and clip coupons. Nothing gives me more pleasure than scoring a super-bargain.
However, the one item mentioned in the comment may look like an extravagance, but in reality is not at all. The Rolex. (I have never mentioned it, but apparently you can see it in at least one picture I've posted and the commenter saw. It belongs to Zung. He has had it for 29 years. I bought it for him when he graduated with his PhD. I graduated that same day with my nursing degree. We also had a boatload of student loans. I'm pretty sure we would have qualified as struggling students.
How did I, as a struggling student afford a Rolex? I worked as a nurses aide on the weekends and put the Rolex on lay-away and paid a little at a time on it. It took many months to pay it off. It was the cheapest Rolex they made at the time, but it was bought with love and pride. When I gave it to him, I told him we would trade it in for a nicer one when we had more money. He said he would never trade it in because he knew how hard I had worked to get it for him and how hard he had worked to get his PhD and it would always represent that to him.
Try to remember when you read my blog, or anyone else's blog or trip report or comment on a forum, just because you know a few things about someone doesn't mean you know everything and you really shouldn't make assumptions about them.
Now, we will return to our regularly scheduled blog.

Suspension & Expulsions – APC012
Reviewed/Revised: September 2016
The provincial Code of Conduct is designed to promote safety and foster the principles of respect and responsible citizenship in Ontario schools. The Waterloo Catholic District School Board (hereinafter referred to as "the Board") recognizes the significance of safe, inclusive, and nurturing schools and seeks to foster such environments by employing a restorative focus which respects the dignity of all persons and seeks to build loving relationships. Conditions arise however, in which the safety and well-being of the community may warrant a suspension or an expulsion.
The purpose of this AP memorandum is to outline the policies and procedures related to suspension and expulsion as well as the appeals process and programmes for students who have received an expulsion, as mandated by the Education Act. The memorandum will clarify the activities which lead to possible suspension or expulsion, the mitigating circumstances which may affect the decision to suspend or expel the collection and disclosure of student information, and the duties and authorities of teachers, principals, the WCDSB, and the appeal committee.
In all actions, the Board strives to be transparent, consistent, and compassionate while recognizing the need to respond each circumstance individually and balancing the needs of the learning community with those of the
individual student.

Alumna Sage Steele to speak at Indiana University Bloomington undergraduate commencement
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Sage Steele, an Indiana University alumna who is one of today's most versatile and accomplished sports television personalities, will speak at IU Bloomington's undergraduate commencement ceremony May 9.
Undergraduate commencement will begin at 10 a.m., outdoors at IU Memorial Stadium, 1001 E. 17th St. Commencement is free and open to the public. Parking is free.
"Since earning her Indiana University degree 20 years ago, Sage Steele has steadily risen to become one of the most talented, knowledgeable and respected television presenters working today," IU President Michael A. McRobbie said.
"The success she has achieved throughout her media career reflects her passion for reporting and broadcasting of the highest quality, and she has thrived each time she has accepted new challenges, such as being called upon to host several high-profile programs on ESPN and ABC," McRobbie said. "We are delighted that she has agreed to return, once again, to her alma mater, and we have no doubt that the university's newest graduates will greatly benefit from hearing her share her impressive story and unique experiences."
"I truly believe that if it weren't for Indiana University, I would never have come close to achieving my career goals and dreams of being a sportscaster," Steele said. "Because of that, being invited to be the commencement speaker exactly 20 years after receiving my diploma from IU is the greatest honor I have ever received. I look forward to an amazing return 'home' to be part of such a wonderful, important day for these graduates."
Steele earned a Bachelor of Science degree in sports communications in 1995 from IU's School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (today the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington).
She is currently in her second season as the host of "NBA Countdown" -- ABC's and ESPN's flagship NBA studio show. She is also a central contributor to ESPN's on-site NBA coverage at the NBA Finals, NBA Conference Finals and NBA All- Star Game.
Steele joined ESPN in 2007 and has served as an anchor of its iconic news and information program, "SportsCenter." She also hosted the Scripps National Spelling Bee for several years and has contributed to a variety of other ESPN programs.
Additionally, Steele has guest-hosted ABC's "The View" on multiple occasions and has been prominently featured in a range of media outlets, including Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Sports Illustrated.
Before coming to ESPN, Steele worked as a reporter at WSBT-TV in South Bend, Ind.; WISH-TV in Indianapolis; WFTS-TV in Tampa; Fox Sports Florida; and Comcast SportsNet serving Washington and Baltimore.
She frequently has returned to her alma mater. In 2011, she received the Anita Aldrich Distinguished Alumni Award during the Bloomington campus's annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day Dinner. In 2013, she participated in IU's Diversity Leadership Conference and last year spoke as part of the IU Media School's lecture series.
Additional commencement information
At the undergraduate commencement ceremony, doors will open at 8 a.m., and the procession of graduates will begin at 8:45 a.m.
There are no tickets and generally no reserved seats at commencement ceremonies. People with wheelchairs and those who need accessible seating should make reservations by contacting the Office of University Events at 812-855-3762 or sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For those with family and friends who are unable to attend, commencement ceremonies will be broadcast live via streaming video at broadcast.iu.edu. The commencement ceremony also will be available for viewing later, along with videos of past commencement ceremonies archived on the site.
Complete information about commencement ceremonies on IU campuses is available on the Office of University Events website.

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to Kendra Smith, 37, and John Bradley Crenshaw, 40 of Inverness, Illinois Sent in by Walter, the Stonecarver Own ID plus stolen credit card An Inverness couple who left a block party early in order to burglarize their neighbors' home have been arrested following a domestic dispute in Rock Island, where they traveled to pawn the stolen goods, police said. Kendra Smith, 37, and John Bradley Crenshaw, 40, of the 700 block of Stone Canyon Circle, are charged with residential burglary and unlawful use of a credit card. Sorting through the quirky story involved a cooperative investigation by Inverness and Palatine police, as well as the Rock Island County sheriff's department. On July 18, according to authorities, Crenshaw and Smith, who are dating, attended the same Barrington block party as their victims. They left early knowing their neighbors on the 700 block of Stone Canyon Circle wouldn't be home and used a baseball bat to break a window and unlock the front door, Inverness police officer Michael Kirby said. The victims returned around 9 p.m. and found jewelry, a coin collection and identification missing. Over the next few days, authorities said, Crenshaw and Smith used the credit card they stole from their neighbors at a Blockbuster store in Palatine, which police were able to view on a surveillance video. Smith used her own store membership card during the purchase, Cook County state's attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin said. Warrants were obtained, and the couple became persons of interest in the burglary. Meanwhile, Crenshaw and Smith drove to western Illinois to pawn the stolen items, Kirby said. During their stay at a hotel, the couple got into a domestic dispute that prompted a visit from the Rock Island County sheriff's police. Smith and Crenshaw were arrested and, on Monday, Inverness police traveled to Rock Island to follow up on the burglary investigation. Smith and Crenshaw appeared in Rolling Meadows court twice this week on different charges. In total, a Cook County judge set bond at $85,000 for Crenshaw and $65,000 for Smith. Kirby said police have recovered a large percentage of the stolen goods and proceeds from their sale, but well over $10,000 is still missing.

I know, it sounds like a porno, but it's not. It's an adaptation of a Clive Barker story about a man who finds a mysterious serial killer on the subway. The movie, of course, expands quite a bit on the story, but it works. Instead of a man who just falls asleep on the subway, the main character is a photographer who is looking for the next good picture that will put him on the map, and in his pursuit, he finds a man who he thinks is a killer.
The film is directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, director of Godzilla Final Wars and stars Bradley Cooper, Leslie Bibb and Vinnie Jones, who looks fairly psychopathic to begin with. Great cinematography, good music and suspense and a compelling story make this one a winner. Check it out.
I also took advantage of Best Buy's horror movie sale this week, picking up the previously mentioned Hatchet, as well as Halloween and Halloween 4. I love those damn movies. They had a pretty decent selection too. Well worth visiting to pick up a hard drive.
Almost done with my Black Lanterns too. I hope to finish them up tomorrow, if all goes well. Then I can build my display before Halloween.
