Life can be tough for any of us, let alone when we are facing mental health issues as well as the daily grind of life.

Obama urged to issue black boxer Jack Johnson a posthumous pardon
Jack Johnson was the most famous African American of his day, the first black heavyweight boxing champion. In 1910, he gave a black community with little to cheer about a stunning lift by defeating white champion Jim Jeffries in Reno, a historical first that led to race riots by the white audience.
So lasting was Johnson's achievement that years later, in 1970, Howard Sackler made a movie -- "The Great White Hope" -- based on his play. Filmmaker Ken Burns was also drawn to the story, crafting a documentary called "Unforgivable Blackness."
In 1913, Johnson's relationship with a white woman led to his conviction for violating the Mann Act, which prohibited the transportation of women across state lines for "immoral" purposes. At a time when blacks in the South were lynched for even looking at a white woman, he served 10 months in jail.
Now, two Republican boxing enthusiasts -- Arizona Sen. John McCain and New York Rep. Peter King -- are waging a campaign to get President Obama to pardon the boxer posthumously.
"It is our hope that you will be eager to agree to right this wrong and erase an act of racism that sent an American citizen to prison," the two Republicans said in the letter sent Friday. The charges, they added, were clearly intended "to keep him away from the boxing ring, where he continued to defeat his white opponents."
During the summer both the House and Senate passed resolutions unanimously urging Obama to grant a pardon. As McCain put it at the time, "Rectifying this injustice is long overdue. [The resolution recognizes] the unjustness of what transpired, and sheds light on the achievements of an athlete who was forced into the shadows of bigotry and prejudice."
President George W. Bush failed to act on appeals during his presidency to pardon the heavyweight champ.
No word from the White House yet about what Obama will do, but as the first African American president -- a child of a white mother and a black father -- it's hard to imagine he would resist history's call. Or Congress' for that matter.
[For the record: A previous version of this post incorrectly reported that writer Howard Sackler based his movie "The Great White Hope" on "his story." Actually, "The Great White Hope" was originally a Pulitzer Prize-winning play.]

As you may have realised I, along with three monkeys are mahoooooooosive fans of the Eurovision Song Contest, as is Marc's partner Rick. Last year we both tried so hard to get tickets, I even played hookey from work to make sure I was on the ticket hotline as it opened, not once, but twice, to hell with the consequences (my mind was already made up to leave anyway!!!), but tickets sold out within 20 mins, so that was that, we resigned ourselves to the three of us watching it in Worcester together in the Christopher family retreat …… where Marc put so much booze in every single layer of his chocolate trifle, I felt that I could almost sing all the entries in their native tongue!!!
So back in November I hadn't given tickets for the 2016 contest much thought, it seemed too early, but imagine how I felt when Rick text me this message ……….
OMG? Interested? Hmmmm I need to check my diary …………. not!! It seems that Rick joined a fan site that gave him prior warning of the sale ……..
I was so excited I nearly stopped breathing ……. but it was still an anxious wait for both of us as Rick awaited the official confirmation …….
It's not the final final on the Saturday night, it's the Jury Final on the Friday night, so it's minus the voting, but Rick decided that if tried to get final tickets, he would probably not get them and then get locked out of the site, only to have to try all over again and risk not getting any tickets for any show at all! But this also means that we can still watch the event in Stockholm and be amongst the crowds.
With the tickets bought I set about booking a hotel, I think Rick was a little surprised at my speed of my work, but I reasoned that everyone else would be doing the same and prices would certainly soar if we cleft it much longer, however, should we find a better deal in the ensuing months then I can canceI ……
However, I think I may happen to burst before then!!!!!

At first blush, the idea of a graphic novelist — a cartoonist — taking on the serious life story such as that of real-life birth-control advocate Margaret Sanger would seem almost disrespectful.
Not so, said Peter Bagge, author-cartoonist of "Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story."
"I very much wanted to do this," Bagge said by telephone from his Seattle home.
During the three years he spent researching his subject — two of those years involved the "solid work" of actually plotting and drawing, he noted — Sanger "presented herself as a serious character. Images kept popping into my head.
"She had a lot of adventures, there was lots of running around."
That is, Sanger experienced, a life and times packed with scuffles with politicians, the press and police, that lent themselves to a comic book.
And his book's heroine certainly doesn't come across as mild-mannered.
"Any successful politician tends to have a big ego," Bagge laughed. "You need someone like that to accomplish things.
"It's what keeps them charging ahead."
He admitted to an interest in strong-willed women — he's considering a biography of anthropologist and author Zora Neale Hurston — who were "very autonomous."
"They always seem to be a product of the Progressive Era (from the 1890s to the 1920s), and they rubbed up against the New Deal," Bagge explained.
"They had a very independent streak. They were very feminine, but that didn't stop them from doing whatever they wanted to do."
The seriousness of his subject, though, didn't prevent the cartoonist from drawing these historical figures — Sanger, H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Emma Goldman, Mabel Dodge — as, well, cartoon figures, with hyper-expressive faces and Bagge's trademark long, rubbery arms.
He cites the 1940s Warner Bros. animated cartoons by Tex Avery and others that were the staple of Saturday morning television during his childhood in Peekskill, N.Y.
"I always wanted to capture that sense of movement," Bagge said.
Body copy ragged right: When drawing "Woman Rebel," he wanted to keep that "expressiveness."
Expressiveness is something he surely saw in the work of R. Crumb, one of the founders of the 1960s underground comics movement and to whom a young Bagge submitted samples of his own cartoons in hopes of publication in Crumb's "Weirdo."
Crumb not only eventually printed Bagge's art but later offered him the job as the book's managing editor.
"Keep in mind," Bagge chuckled, "I'd never met him."
But Crumb, Bagge recalled, was "almost immediately my favorite (cartoonist). He used a comic page as a blank canvas."At a young age, Bagge said, "I decided that's what I wanted to do."

So it's really starting to look like "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Stevie J may have a drug problem. There have been reports for months that Stevie J and supposed wife Joseline were partying hard. Rumors of drug use by Atlanta's hot couple has been persistent and now at least Stevie J can't really deny it. On Tuesday TMZ reported that Stevie J failed a drug test earlier this month in Atlanta. According to reports the test results are in and Stevie J was positive for marijuana and cocaine.
Rumors that Stevie J and Joseline were abusing cocaine have been pretty common for several months. In early May they got even hotter when Joseline posted a picture to Instagram of Stevie J. The picture of Stevie showed him from his profile and it looks like he had a white powder in his nose.
The picture has since been deleted from Joseline's Instagram but the internet is a funny thing. Several "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" fans saw the picture and copied it.
This new report comes out right along with more Joseline rumors. Turns out after all the jokes she had for Mimi Faust, Joseline Hernandez has her own sex tape too. Allegedly there's a new hot tape out there and Vivid has already said they'd consider distributing it. Allegedly the tape features Joseline and two other people that aren't Stevie J. It's unclear when the tape was made but some reports say it was done years ago when Joseline was still working as a dancer.
Joseline and Stevie J have been having a rough go of it during this season of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta." There were allegations that Stevie J and Joseline took "Baseball Wives" star Anna Benson's things while she was in jail and they were supposed to be helping her. She even pointed out her expensive plates that they were eating from and showing off in pictures on Instagram.
To make matters worse, their former booking agent Dawn further exposed Stevie J and Joseline as phonies. She claims they rent everything including their new huge house and all their cars. She also insists the two aren't really married and that they are faking how well off they are. That would make sense if Stevie J can't even take care of his child support.
Then the allegations that their marriage is fake just won't die. Probably because they can't prove they are married or they would have done that by now. It was also just revealed on the latest episode that Stevie J had sex with Benzino's fiance Althea Heart. Of course Stevie J denied it to Joseline but the truth will come out and there will probably be a huge televised fight about it.
There really hasn't been a positive story line this season on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" with Joseline and Stevie J. With Stevie J's drug issues exposed, what do you think of Stevie J and Joseline? Do you think they are living beyond their means? Do you think either one of them or both have a drug problem. Tell us what you think in the comments below.

We've been in Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, for a few days visiting our son and we took him to the Louisville Zoo the other day. We LOVE zoos. So...how 'bout some animal pics !?
|Sad looking Rhino....there was a sign that they were being medically treated. They are SO huge.
|This is a Bongo.
|This Bongo had crossed horns.
|...had to take this photo of the camel.
|They had 4 giraffes. A momma and her new baby were inside and two outside.
|Some giraffe skin closeup.
|This is much different than the one above. What a fascinating pattern.
|Looks like our cats.
|Amazing, amazing stripes.
|Our boy, Philip, showing the difference between him and a large gorilla.
|Gorilla hand prints. Kim is on the right, Philip is on the left.
|Snowy Owl
|They had a fine mesh in front of the cage with a few small cutouts so we could take photos.
|Hello? Did anyone say "feeding time"?
|Never got this shot before.
Hope you enjoyed the zoo !

Here's some great reference material...

There are many of us, myself included, who make the dire mistake of choosing to work in the fast food industry. It can be for many reasons, such as location, job availability, or peers, but don't fool yourself. This is why you should never work in fast food.
Wages -
Guaranteed minimum wage when starting. Fast food is undoubtedly the poorest paying job, except of course for being a writer or administrator for TheSpoof.com, because no job will ever pay that badly.
The People -
The typical person to work at fast food is usually of three people. Single teen parents, high school dropouts, and illegal Mexican immigrants. This is the majority of the fast food crew, but sometimes you get your average drug dealer/user, ex-convicts, and of course, the normal person who wasn't able to find this article in time.
Customers -
Immediately divide any customer's typical patience in half. It doesn't matter what kind of person they are, the simple fact that they know they are ordering 'fast' food, registers in their mind that they will get their food in two minutes or less. They aren't aware that, for example, to make a simple burger it takes at least one minute to cook, let alone complete the burger as well as fries and a drink.
Chaos -
I've been to many airports in my life and I thought that they were one of the most chaotic places I've ever been to, however that was before I worked in fast food. A typical rush hour at a fast food restaurant constitutes more chaos than Los Angeles International. It will not matter what type of work you do in the restaurant, it will always be equally chaotic. God forbid you should ever choose to work at fast food in an airport. Those jobs are only for daredevils and the mentally unstable.
Stress/Effort -
The stress of a job in fast food is ridiculously high, as is the effort required to successfully perform your duties. On a typical day, I was required to operate the drive-thru. That is making the drinks, taking the orders, handling the money, and giving out the food, all at once. I didn't write on my application that I was bio-physically attached to another human being either, so I don't know what my manager was thinking when he assigned me all that work. Occasionally someone would come along and help me out, but that was on a good day.
Knowledge -
Though you do not require any sort of prior knowledge to become an employee, it will require a vast amount of knowledge capacity, or in other words, the ability to remember, well, just about everything in less time than it takes a to recite the first three letters of the ABC's (or less time to read to read the letters in that sentence, whichever comes first). I'm not sure about most fast food restaurants, but where I worked, my first day went a little something like, Manager: "Ok, here's the fountain. These cups are small, medium, and large. There's the screen. Make some drinks." Two minutes later: "NO! That cup doesn't have enough ice! Come on! We're getting slammed here!"
Effects -
From the moment you accept a job in fast food you will abandon all sense of organization. Sometimes people just don't show up to work or call in sick because they don't feel like working. In such a case, which is at least once a week, you will be called in to work. By law you can accept or decline, but the law does no protect against a manager's vengeful attitude when you return. Normally you feel obligated to accept their shift.
Physical and mental effects are also possible. From smelling like fries 24/7 to greeting people when not at work by saying, "Hi. Welcome to (name of restaurant). My name is (your name), how can I help you today?" Some people just go insane, which is normally a good idea, because then you get to go to an all expense paid trip to the mental institution until you recover. That may be never, but hey, at least you won't be working for the rest of your life.
Ignorance is bliss -
You have no idea what goes on behind those closed doors. Disgusting habits and gruesome things that you would never know about if you don't work there. The only thing you care about before you get your food is how it tastes, and you assume all clean and hygienic procedures are in order. This is the best way to think, because you have no worries. It's better to just eat the food and never know about what was wrong with it and stay happy. Now I'm going to question the safety of every fast food restaurant I eat at.

Review: The Muppets
PUBLISHED: 09:00 10 February 2012
You can't not like the Muppets. Trust me, I tried. When I was young I never used to watch The Muppet Show - even this couch potato wasn't generally sat inside watching ITV at 4pm on Sunday - and on the occasions I was I didn't really take to them.
Show me a film that is rooted entirely on the affection people feel towards them and I become misty-eyed for the whole sock draw lot of them, yet still without ever growing to like them.
Even people who like the Muppets generally have little interest in watching movies featuring them.
The idea of The Muppets is to encase them within a big, all-singing and all-dancing, self referential yet affectionate entertainment that will turn all that good will into bums on seats.
The plot is getting the now disbanded team back together to make one last comeback show to raise $10million to save the old Muppet studio.
It is packed with the type of send-ups of movie conventions that first appeared in Mel
Brooks' films in the 1970s. The songs by Bret McKenzie, of Flight of the Concords, are consistently funny and the nomination of Muppet or Man as best song was really the only thing the Academy got right in its selection.
Jason Segal and Amy Adams do sterling work as the human additions. Segal has a clumsy energy that suggests a Muppet made flesh, while Adams is a showbiz trooper.
It is a flaw that most of what is best about The Muppets is everything except for the Muppets.
Just like the Star Trek films with the original cast, the big screen cruelly reveals how old and weary some of them are.
Kermit really is just a green sock with the two halves of severed ping pong ball stuck on for eyes. (He is though, still a very expressive sock.)
Also most of the original voices aren't there.
It's tragic that Jim Henson didn't live long enough for this but disappointing that Frank Oz went off in a huff.
Director: James Bobin
Starring: Jason Segal, Amy Adams, Kermit, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and Chris Cooper

Social media is big business when done right, startups have managed to carve a name out for themselves in this sector with Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, and the behemoth Facebook all emerging from the depths of the unknown.
But has Facebook gotten a little too big, and a little too old, to be playing the social media game still?
As a new report has shown from Pew Research Centre (PDF), teens – the key demographic of social media users – have begun to distance themselves from Facebook.
Indeed, this trend was noticed earlier this year and late last as teen shopping habits seemed to reflect a similar tone of disinterest with that blue and white social media outlet.
Since 2011, Facebook registrations have remained the same within the teen demographic – a steady 94 per cent, showing a level of stagnation.
It doesn't seem to be a problem with social media itself though as Twitter has grown substantially in the same amount of time. In 2011, just 12 per cent of teens asked had an account, now that figure lies at 26 per cent.
It's also worth noting that only 14 per cent of Facebook profiles are public channels, whereas Twitter has 64 per cent of its accounts in the public sphere. I shouldn't need to point out just how useful this is to marketers everywhere.
Numbers have also increased on platforms such as Tumblr and Instagram, with users loving the idea of blogging from multiple streams as well as taking photos of themselves and the food they eat – which is clearly all Instagram is meant for right?
Tumblr's growth lead to its acquisition by Yahoo last month and, as Facebook owns Instagram, the photo sharing social network's growth is only compensating for the drop off in Facebook accounts.
It would seem that Facebook could be in quite the jam as its rather impressive Facebook Phone – more the snazzy HTC hardware than the Facebook Home OS – utterly flopped at market.
Amanda Lenhart from PRC stated that while teens "still have their Facebook profiles, they spend less time on them and move to places like Twitter and Tumblr."
While we're sure that Facebook will quite happily remain the dominant social media platform for a while, it does go to show the more fickle nature of the platform as a marketing tool.
Moving forward a marketing effort will have to be spread over various social channels equally, rather than just focusing mostly on one – namely Facebook.
Perhaps the Google Glass will help the rise of Google+?
What do you think will happen with Facebook and their slowly lagging teenage user base?

Alexander was like modern gay lovers!
Dear friends,
It's really amusing to see how people jump to conclusions the moment we utter the sentence, "Oh… he/she is gay!" If it's a gay man most people think … "oh, he's a cross-dressing queen"…or… "the guy must walk like a woman and love to wear blue eyeliner" …and sometimes people will immediately conclude that "…he is a threat to all masculinity". And if it's a gay woman, then the first conclusion people jump to is the word "Dyke". Well, I would really like to clear these perceptions because every gay person is different. These are the things you need to know about gay people:
A) All gay men don't dress/walk/talk or want to be like women
B) All gay women don't want to dress up like a man with a crew cut and walk around scratching their balls.
C) Some gay people are just trapped emotionally in the wrong body and hence they display/emulate the traits of the opposite sex… which is also a part of some gays' personalities (transgenders/transsexuals).
D) Transgender is an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender identity (sense of themselves as male or female) or gender expression differs from that usually associated with their birth sex. Many transgenders live part-time or full-time as members of the other gender.
E) Transsexuals are transgender people who live or wish to live full-time as members of the gender opposite to their birth sex. Biological females who wish to live and be recognized as men are called female-to-male (FTM) transsexuals or transsexual men. Biological males who wish to live and be recognized as women are called male-to-female (MTF) transsexuals or transsexual women. Transsexuals usually seek medical interventions, such as hormones and surgery, to make their bodies as congruent as possible with their preferred gender. The process of transitioning from one gender to the other is called sex reassignment or gender reassignment.
F) Cross-dressers or transvestites comprise the most numerous transgender group. Cross-dressers wear the clothing of the other sex. They vary in how completely they dress (from one article of clothing to fully cross-dressing) as well as in their motives for doing so. Some cross-dress to express cross-gender feelings or identities; others cross-dress for fun, for emotional comfort, or for sexual arousal. The great majority of cross-dressers are biological males, most of whom are sexually attracted to women.

INDIE SOAP BEAT: January 27, 2010
In this week's "Indie Soap Beat" feature, we take a look at the latest happenings from around the world of independent soap opera production. Click the show logos to visit the official websites.
The 1st Annual Indie Soap Awards telecast will be broadcast on Monday, February 1, at 9 p.m. ET on the Indie Soap Awards website, at We Love Soaps, Outviews, Daytime Confidential and several other websites.
The show will feature an original performance by comedian/musician Joanna Parson and appearance by several of your indie soap favorites.
For a complete list of nominees, visit indiesoapawards.com.
Voting for the Fan's Choice Award is still ongoing until Jan. 31. You can vote here.
The seventh episode of indie comedy series ALL'S FAIRE featured a guest appearance from former GUIDING LIGHT star Robert Bogue (ex-Mallet). The story takes place at the Southeastern Delaware Renaissance Faire. You can watch Bogue's first episode here. He shows up at the end to save the Faire.
THE LIKE US SHOW is a new radio soap opera set to air around the country beginning Feb. 1. Set on the campus of the fictional Atlanta University, LIKE US tells the dramatic story of the lives of the students of this Historical Black University. After being abandoned by her drug addicted parents, Kori was left feeling bitter and on a hunt for love. Her mother, Antionette Bell, recently recovered from several years of drug abuse and is now living with her two daughters Kori and Shannon. Shannon, whose nickname is "The Golden Child", feels her sister is on the same road to destruction their mother once traveled down. Deeply in love with Robert, its only a matter of time before Shannon discovers his selfish habits that will soon be unveiled and threaten their relationship.
Two stars from ANYONE BUT ME will be presenters at the Indie Soap Awards (tune in to find out!). If you missed the We Love Soaps interviews with Rachael Hip-Flores (Vivian) and Nicole Pacent (Astor), you can watch them here. Episode four of season two will air sometime in February.
The next new episode of VENICE will air on Friday on the show's website for subscribers. Creators Crystal Chappell and Kim Turrisi participated in the NOH8 campaign last week. Turrisi has been confirmed as a presenter for the Indie Soap Awards. VENICE music artists Jen Foster (who seems the show's theme song) and Vanida Gail performed at The Bitter End in New York City on Wednesday night.
SECRETS returned last week with five all new episodes. The show, which is shot in South Jersey and various locations in Philadelphia, had previously aired five episodes in early 2009. We Love Soaps asked creator and star Damian Tracy about the show's return.
We Love Soaps: Why did you decide to release five episodes at once? It's an interesting approach that most of the indie soaps are not follow.
Damian Tracy: When we released the first five episodes last year, I launched them weekly. Frankly, following the number of Youtube hits, I noticed viewership trailed off with each episode. I think people just forgot to come back each week and tune in. I thought for the second season, I'd try releasing them all at once and see how that changed the numbers... and sure enough, the numbers are much closer. The episodes are short enough that you can watch five in one sitting during your lunch hour.
We have another five episodes in the can and will hopefully release them in the next few weeks.
We Love Soaps: For fans of continuing drama and soaps, why should they check out SECRETS?
Damian Tracy: SECRETS is truly an independent soap. We don't have Daytime Emmy winners in the cast. Most of the web soaps getting hype have some major star power and those stars bring the audience with them. I love the idea that soap stars are making the leap to the "even-smaller-screen" and really reinventing the genre... but our show has to rely on our ingenuity and storytelling to draw people in.
I think we have created characters and storylines that really get to the heart of what soap operas are... escapist fun. Our show may not be as "slick" as some of the others, but we cut right to the chase! The tone of the show captures what I love about soaps. It takes itself so seriously that it can't be taken seriously... but hopefully keeps itself from tipping into campiness.
GOTHAM will be taping at the upcoming Nicole Miller show during Fashion Week in New York City in February. If you missed the We Love Soaps interview with GOTHAM star Kin Shriner (Jon), you can read that interview here. The next new episode will air Monday, February 1 at 8 p.m. ET.
COMPULSIONS creator Bernie Su recently wrote a blog entry on titled "Recognizing Traps in Pre-Production." You can read his thoughts here. There is no word yet on when new episodes might air. The show received 11 nominations in total for the Indie Soap Awards including Best Indie Soap.
The latest episode of Indie Soap Award nominated THEN WE GOT HELP!, "Someone Else's Shoes " is now playing on the show's website. When Terry's Role Swapping exercise forces the couple's to play each other for the night, things get over blown and over-heated. ONE LIVE TO LIVE's Nicholas Rodriguez plays Dan on the show.
Episode #10 of the Indie Soap Award nominated CHICK, "Within Me Lies a Superhero," is now playing on the show's website and YouTube. Kai Soremekun is nominated for two Indie Soap Awards, for Director and for Lead Actress. CHICK is also nominated for Best Indie Soap.
Photography Steven Bergman was on the set of EMPIRE last weekend and you can view his photos, including new stars Tina Sloan and Orlagh Cassidy, here. Look for We Love Soaps to make an appearance during Season Two beginning this Spring. Another new star of the show this season, Fabio Taliercio, recently directed a wonderful production of Richard Greenberg's "Take Me Out" in Brooklyn. The show closed on Sunday. Look for stars of EMPIRE to be presenters at the Indie Soap Awards on Monday.
The season finale of Indie Soap Award nominated BUPPIES, "Pretty Wings," is now playing on the show's website. Quinci looks her past right in the face and moves toward the future. No word yet on when new episodes may begin. BUPPIES leads all shows with 13 Indie Soap Award nominations.
Irish soap COVIES has now aired its fifth episode, "After Drowning People." You can watch it on the show's website. Episodes are broadcast on Monday and Thursday nights. You can also follow the soap on Twitter at @TheCovies.
Episode #9 of ANACOSTIA, is currently playing. You can watch it here. The show takes place in DC's Anacostia community neighborhood. If you haven't checked it out, start with the shocking first episode and catch up.

CTV's morning show Canada AM is ending its 43-year run today. This leaves another hole in the Canadian media landscape that will not be filled by traditional broadcasters.
Randy Lennox, president of entertainment production and broadcasting at CTV's parent company Bell Media, said in a statement that the evolving television landscape caused the cancelation.
"As the television landscape continues to evolve, so too must our programming. We look forward to building upon the success of Canada AM as we move forward," said Lennox.
What's killing the Canadian media? According to Mark LaVigne, principal of Hunter-LaVigne Communications and lecturer with Centennial College and Western University, it is two things:
1. Streaming services like Netflix
2. Media convergence
Both of these make it harder for PR practioners to get airtime.
Cord cutting up 80 per cent year over year
Fighting for the attention of producers or reporters is harder when there are fewer broadcast TV shows. According to LaVigne, communication professionals need to better align the current reality with the expectations of our clients. Fewer television stations and even fewer TV watchers impacts what campaign goals should look like.
"Clients love TV newscasts, but it can be very difficult to get on broadcast news," said LaVigne. "You can get on the morning show, but the effort in doing so is enormous and at the same time the audiences are dropping."
Last year, according to Convergence Consulting Group an estimated 190,000 Canadians dropped their cable subscriptions—that's and 80 per cent increase from 2014 when 105,000 people cancelled.
Audiences haven't disappeared says LaVigne, but they have changed their viewing habits.
"Everything is on demand," said LaVigne. "It is the Uber-ization of content delivery and broadcast hasn't been able to keep up."
He further forecasts that we'll soon see television news broadcast only through a platform like Apple TV, or Netflix, if anything at all. Here are the facts:
– 7.2 % reduction in total operating revenues for conventional television in Canada since 2011
– Live television events such as the Oscars and large sporting events are the only television advertising spaces to see growth.
– Fewer people are watching day-time or morning television — with people preferring to read their news on smartphones.
Media convergence has reduced the number of news holes
Netflix shouldn't shoulder all the blame though. Media organizations have hemorrhaged money since consumers adopted the Internet as the content vehicle of choice. This forced media companies to consolidate to the point where a few powerful companies own almost all of the Canada's private media.
Media consolidation is a trend 35 years in the making. LaVigne cites the 1981 Kent Commission on Newspapers, which identified media consolidation as a risk to national sovereignty. This isn't a new trend but it has reached a critical point in recent years.
In the early 1980s, the commission feared that a 15 per cent decline in independent newspapers from 39.6 per cent in 1970 to 25.7 per cent in 1980, belied real danger to Canada's fifth estate and our ability to tell uniquely Canadian stories.
As of 2015 only five per cent of daily newspapers are owned independently and there are only about 100 daily newspapers in operation across the country.
What it means for communications professionals is we need to work smarter and more digitally with fewer papers and fewer reporters than ever before. Now the same can be said about broadcast news.
It is time to build relationships with content creators who build media on YouTube or producers of shows that are designed for Netflix. If viewers have moved away from television then we have to as well.
Canada AM may be one of the largest profile shows to shut down in Canada but it will certainly not be the last.

The symptoms of acid reflux seem to vary greatly between individuals. They range from mild discomfort in the chest through to crippling pain in the torso, throat and mouth. As usual with any of these things, it's always best to get any strange symptoms checked with your doctor – don't rely on "Dr Google". Pains in the chest could signal a number of different conditions, from trivial to serious, or, in my case could simply be brought on by the mere thought that I could have a serious disease, from which I will die imminently.
Individual Symptoms of Acid Reflux
Individual symptoms of acid reflux include:
- Pain in the Chest – this can be unspecific or very localised. In my case I often get a pain in the lower right of my chest – just under my right breast. This is where the stomach joins the esophagus, and where, I can imagine, the stomach acid is hitting the unprotected surface of the esophagus.
- Sore throat – this can be accompanied by difficulty in swallowing at times, and a hoarseness which can affect speech. From what I have read this is the acid reaching the throat and the vocal chords. Frequently I have a sore throat and A says my voice seems to go up an octave – probably partly because of the frustrations I feel about the serial incompetence of our government, but no doubt also as a result of acid reflux. At those times I tend to shut up to give my chords a rest (and everybody else within earshot).
- Burning in the mouth, tongue and tingling on the lips – This is one of my strongest indicators, and has me reaching for the chewing gum or Rennies without fail. The only exceptions to this are when I've misjudged the amount of curry paste I've put into a chicken korma (despite everything I've read, curries, which by definition contain spices, seem not to have any real effect – positive or negative – on my acid reflux, as long as they are mild. That's not to say they won't affect you, though), and when I drink peppermint tea.
- Stinging eyes – I've not come across this as one of the symptoms of acid reflux so far, but it often accompanies a reflux attack with me.
- Cold nostrils – this sounds a bit bazzare, but it's the only way I can describe it. It's as though I've had a menthol sweet – if you've ever experienced that – where you're breathing out super cool air. I'm not sure why this happens, and I'll have to look into it more.
- Cough, athsma, nausea – these are all quoted symptoms from other sources, but I don't get them. You may.
How do your symptoms compare with these?

Auma's Long Run by Eucabeth A. Odhiambo
(Carolrhoda Books ~ September 1, 2017)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Haunting but inspirational, AUMA'S LONG RUN reminds readers that the world is bigger than what we can see, and that challenges are profoundly different throughout the world.
Thanks to the publisher for the signed galley of this title provided through a giveaway.
Book Description
Auma loves to run. In her small Kenyan village, she's a track star with big dreams. A track scholarship could allow her to attend high school and maybe even become a doctor. But a strange new sickness called AIDS is ravaging the village, and when her father becomes ill, Auma's family needs her help at home. Soon more people are getting sick even dying and no one knows why. Now Auma faces a difficult choice. Should she stay to support her struggling family or leave to pursue her own future? Auma knows her family is depending on her, but leaving might be the only way to find the answers to questions about this new disease.
Set in 1980's Kenya during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Odhiambo draws on her own experiences living in a village such as Auma's to highlight the way that the disease completely ravaged the country, and still continues to do so.
This is a vitally important story, and written in a way that makes it accessible to teens. However, this is very much a middle SCHOOL book rather than middle GRADE. I would not recommend this for grades lower than 7th, based on the sexual content addressed throughout the story. As a school librarian, I would recommend this book for grades 7-12, placing it the YA category. It is NOT a book I would purchase for my elementary school library. In addition, this is a book that may not fly off shelves but requires teacher introduction and would be an incredible whole class read aloud.
Verdict: Heartbreaking and required reading, but may need adult urging to get it into the hands of kids. Recommended purchase for upper middle school and high school classrooms and libraries.

Richard Heinberg
Powerdown: Options and Actions for a Post Carbon World, After Oil Depletion, Post-Industrial Society
Richard Heinberg is a writer and teacher whose focus in these times is "peak oil". He has become one respected as one of the country's experts on peak oil and travels and lectures nationally and internationally on the subject. He also teaches Human Ecology at New College of San Francisco in Santa Rosa, California. Two of his several books are The Party's Over-Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies and Powerdown:Options and Actions for a Post Carbon World. He explains that "peak oil" means that the cheap oil we've had available to build our industrial world is over and our industrialized world has already started coming to the end that is inevitable and which is likely to be a huge dislocation from the way of life to which we are accustomed in the "first world". It will affect the energy that we're used to having and transportation, food supply, common materials that we're used to which are based on oil -- plastic, clothes, buildings and on and on. As for the timing of this huge dislocation to our life-styles -- he thinks it's quite soon, that we may already have hit peak or will hit or soon, but really no one knows for sure and we will ony know for sure in retrospect. In this talk he explains the history, what's happening now with oil and how, whenever this long change and depression comes about, preparation and living sustainably without oil (and natural gas) will make the transition easier so there is no reason to put it off.

MOD 011: Strategies for picking your race dates
Merchants of Dirt Episode #11
Picking your race dates is an important part of your strategic process that requires you to remove all the wrong dates before the right dates will emerge. I also talk about how obstacle course racing is doing something that adventure racing is not: getting people — customers — interested in off-road endurance sports again.
Key Take Away #1: Strategies for picking your race dates
Picking your race dates is an important part of your strategic process.
Usually, between October and December, you sit down with your list of potential race offerings, pull out your calendar and a pen, and start considering possible dates.
In a world that only has 365 days in it (366 on those pesky leap years), and only 52 weekends, you have a total of 104 days available to you and your races.
When you take away all the dates that will cause problems, that number is greatly reduced.
To begin figuring out which dates will work, and which will not, you're going to need to ask yourself a few questions:
- How many races will you offer next year?
- What days of the week will your races be held on?
- How many races will your competitors offer next year?
- What weekends will you consider blocked or blacked-out?
- What weekends are a risk?
I talk about this more in my article Get your next race permit approved.
If you do plan on hosting a race during risky weather months, you can learn how to survive a storm in my article How to bounce back when everything goes wrong.
By going through these questions one-by-one, you start to create a list of dates that will NOT work for your next season.
When you remove all the wrong dates, the right dates will emerge.
Key Take Away #2: Bring your failing adventure race business back to life
The real reason Lewis and Clark signed up for the Thomas Jefferson's Memorial Adventure Race was their unadulterated sense of adventure and curiosity for the outdoors.
It is the same sense of adventure and courage that brings thousands of new Adventure Racers into the sport each year.
The problem is too many of the current assortment of adventure races are geared towards advanced racers, not amateurs.
If you're a greenhorn adventure racer, the idealism of the Lewis and Clark style expedition has been lost among today's adventure race promotion companies.
No longer are they looking to create events to act as gateways to the harder races.
It is this new crop of adventure racing idealists that needs to be cultivated with events geared towards their beginner level skills.
This is exactly why obstacle course racing is stealing all of adventure racing's beginner level customers.
Obstacle course racing is doing something that adventure racing is not.
It is getting people — customers — interested in off-road endurance sports again.
However, obstacle course racing is only getting those beginner level racers halfway there.
By producing beginner adventure races, you now allow these newly minted newbie endurance racers something different enough to be interesting.
And now you know.
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!
Please enjoy this special Christmas edition of the Merchants of Dirt Podcast with regular theme music replaced by Carol of the Bells Rock by Bequadro.
This version of Carol of the Bells is an uplifting and upbeat full power arrangement in rock style of the popular Christmas carol composed by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914.

How to write a covering letter
Your CV and covering letter are your chance to sell yourself to employers.
To create a good first impression, make sure your covering letter:
- is well written
- doesn't contain any spelling mistakes or bad grammar
- supports what's in your CV
A good covering letter will show that you've done your research, you know what the job involves and what the employer's looking for.
Covering letters - the main rules
Your covering letter should be short and to the point. Write it on a computer as it makes it easier to make any changes or corrections before you send it.
Highlight your most relevant skills and achievements, and explain any gaps in your CV, like periods of unemployment, time spent in prison, travelling or being a carer. For each of these explain what you learned from the experience.
Make specific reference to the employer - don't send out identical covering letters with no organisation details. Use the right language and tone, and the same font and text size as on your CV. Always check for spelling and grammatical errors.
If you mention your disability at the application stage it can give you an opportunity to talk about the transferable skills you've developed as a result of dealing with your disability. But you don't need to mention your disability if you don't want to.
It's important to address your letter to the person named in the advert, if there is one. If there isn't, find out the name of the recruiter or the head of the department you want to work for.
You also need to:
- spell any names correctly and address them with their preferred title, whether it's Dr, Mr, Mrs, or Ms
- explain why you're writing
- be clear about what you're applying for by including the full title of the job, the reference number, and where you saw it advertised
- research the company and the job to find out the main skills the employer is looking for
- give evidence to show that you have the right personal qualities, experience, qualifications, and skills for the role
- include real examples of when you've used these skills, and highlight any major achievements, like completing training courses
- present your skills in a way that shows how giving you the job will benefit the organisation
Show your enthusiasm
Show how keen you are to get this job and work for this employer. Many employers skim-read covering letters, so the opening paragraph is your opportunity to impress them with how much you know about their work.
Explain why you believe you're the right person for the company, and what makes you highly motivated to work for them. Show you're familiar with their products and services, and recent news about them. You could also explain that you're enthusiastic about working for them because you share their work values, culture and style.
Take the employer's point of view
Imagine you're the employer and ask yourself:
- what would make a candidate stand out?
- what would be my ideal candidate?
- why would I hire the person who sent this covering letter?
Cover all the essential points clearly - remember employers are busy and might not have the time to read a long letter.
Use the same language that the employer uses on their website, in job adverts and any other communications. Use the same tone as the employer, but remember to keep it professional.
Present your skills in a way that shows how giving you the job will benefit their company. You can do this by cutting down on the number of times you use the word 'I' and increasing the number of times you use 'you' and 'your organisation'.
Identify your unique selling points
Be positive about who you are and what you have to offer, like your ability to learn quickly, your experience if you're older, or your ideas, enthusiasm and willingness to learn if you've recently finished college. Highlight to the employer what special skills, knowledge or expertise you can bring.
Promote your transferable skills
Think about a job you've done before and the job you want to get into, and try to identify the skills you need for both, like working to deadlines, managing budgets and working well with a wide range of people.
Sign off
Lastly, you should finish your letter by bringing it all together.
You should:
- invite the employer to get more details about you from your attached or enclosed CV
- say you're looking forward to hearing from them, if you're replying to an advertised vacancy
- say you'll wait for their call, or that you'll contact them in a week or two, if you're applying on the off-chance of a job
- explain how you'd like to be contacted, for example by phone, email or post, and make sure your contact details are correct on your covering letter and CV

Hey friends, today I am back with the last post of a three part series in collaboration with Tobi. Something about this shift dress drew me to it and I just love how light and feminine it is. I love to take an ultra feminine dress and give it a little edge, so I added these brown engineer boots that ended up giving the look a little more of a western vibe. I decided to embrace the more western feel and accessorize with this fringe pendant necklace and added one of my favorite bags to complete the look. The light neutral color of this dress really gives you unlimited options of how it can be styled. Next time I think I will play up the femininity a little more by adding some heels and more color.
Can we just talk about these engineer boots from Target for a second?! They are a total knock off of the Frye harness boots for just a fraction of the cost! They are real leather and for the price I couldn't be happier with them. If you've been wanting the Frye boots, but just can't justify the cost, I highly suggest you give these a try.
How is it Monday again?! I always feel so old when I say things like that, but seriously, where does the time go? I'm praying that this week slows down just a little and that we can get outside and start enjoying this beautiful fall weather we have been having. I think it's about time for our annual visit to the cider mill, cider and donuts are calling my name! ;) What fall activities are you looking forward to?
Outfit Details….Dress c/o Tobi, Boots/from Target, Watch/from Fossil, Bag and Jewelry/from Noonday Collection: Great Escape Bag, Artifact Necklace, Leather Leaf Earrings, & the Metric Cuff

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Generously oil a 12-cup muffin pan.
Combine the cake mix, oil, 3 of the eggs and 1 cup water until smooth; divide among the muffin cups. Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, butter, icing sugar, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer) until smooth.
Whisk the milk, egg yolks, granulated sugar, remaining 5 eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until smooth.
Butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Cut the cupcakes in quarters and scatter half over the bottom of the dish. Dollop half the frosting over the cupcakes, then pour in half the custard mixture. Repeat the layering once. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 175°C. Uncover the bread pudding and sprinkle the pecans on top. Bake until the top is golden brown and the center is set, about 1 hour. If the pecans start to burn, loosely tent the dish with foil. Cool completely on a wire rack.

How Do I Get Pre-Quaified?
What is a pre-qualification and why is it important? A pre-qualification is an initial step you can take to discuss your different loan options before committing to a formal loan application and credit check.
Think of a pre-qualification as a casual conversation to discuss what your actual options might be. There is no obligation to move forward once you have this conversation. This would mean that a qualified loan officer reviews your financial needs and goals with you and provides an initial decision based on what your current situation is and what you are looking to do. (Or thinking about doing)
At this stage, there is no formal loan application and no fees are charged. It's basically a way to find out if you "have a shot" at getting a loan based on your situation: credit, income, property type, down payment, etc. Don't worry if you have bad credit because of past financial problems or if you are self-employed and have little to no income documentation. Those factors don't mean that you won't get a loan.
A licensed Loan Officer will review your request and get in touch with you to discuss your options. You can generally expect a response the next business day.
How Do I Apply For A Loan?
Applying for a loan means that you will have to fill out a Mortgage Loan Application, which you will also hear it referred to as a Uniform Residential Loan Application or a 1003. There is a lot of information that needs to be completed on this application. It is important that you fill it out in its entirety. The more complete it is the faster the loan process will be. If it is incomplete that is more time that the Loan Officer must spend contacting you to get the information to complete it to get the process started.
The application will ask for personal and financial information including the following:
• Full name
• Property Information
o If you are refinancing have a current mortgage statement handy
• Residence history (Where you have lived)
• Social security number
• Date of birth
• Employment history
• Income information
• Current liabilities (outstanding debts)
• Current assets (checking, savings, cash, investments, and other items of value)
• List of all real estate you currently own (Fill This Out Completely)
o Type of property
o Present Market Value
o Amount of Mortgages/Liens
o Gross Rental Income
o Current Mortgage Payments
o Current Insurance, taxes etc.
As you can see, a full application requires much more personal information than a pre-qualification or loan scenario request.
To apply for loan, you will need to complete a Standard Mortgage Loan Application.
A licensed Loan Officer can take your application in person or by phone. This can take about 20 minutes, so you will need to set aside enough time to complete it. The more information you can provide your loan officer, the quicker he or she can process your loan request.
To schedule your loan application interview, please call our office at (707) 523-2900.
For your convenience, you can also download a blank application and fill it out yourself.
Click Here to access the secure online application.
What Documents Are Required For A Loan?
The list below gives you an overview of the documents your Loan Officer will request in order to complete your application. The Loan Officer will only ask you for this paperwork after reviewing your initial application and you've been pre-qualified based on your requested loan terms.
1. Credit report issued within past 90 days. (The Loan Officer will pull your credit for you.)
2. Income documentation
Allowable forms of income verification:
Most recent paycheck stubs from your employer
Federal Tax Returns (Form 1040)
IRS form W-2
IRS form 1099
Bank statements showing regular deposits
Other documents that can prove your sources of income
3. Identity documents
Valid California Driver License or other government-issued photo ID.
Social Security card
4. Current Appraisal on the subject property (Don't worry if you don't have one, we can make sure that we get an appraisal.)
5. Full purchase contract (For purchase transactions)
What Does The Timeline Look Like For A Loan?
When it comes to alternative money lending, every transaction is unique in its own way. Therefore, the time it takes to close will vary from one loan to another.
The estimated timelines below will give you an idea of how long a typical transaction will take for each step of the loan process. Since unexpected delays can happen in any real estate transaction, we will always communicate any potential delays on your loan processing.
In most cases, a typical alternative money loan can be approved and closed within 3 weeks.
Day 1 - 3
Submit your COMPLETE application to ARC Capital
Initial review and pre-approval
Pull Credit
Open escrow if needed
Order appraisal if needed
Day 4 - 6
Review Appraisal
Review Title Report
Clear items on Title Report if needed
Submit loan to Investor for approval
Prepare and send Loan Docs to Escrow
Day 7 - 8
Sign loan docs at escrow company

Aims of CIEAEM
Since its foundation in 1950, the Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematics Teaching (CIEAEM) intended to investigate the actual conditions and the possibilities for the development of mathematics education in order to improve the quality of teaching mathematics. The annual conferences, which are the essential means for realizing this goal, are characterized by exchange and discussion of the research work and its realisation in practice and by the dialogue between researchers and educators in all domains of practice.
Past and Future of CIEAEM
In its work, the Commission follows the humanist tradition of the founders of CIEAEM to integrate the scientific goal of research in mathematics education with the political goal to improve the quality of mathematics education with respect to general education: to educate people who are more rationally acting, critically and consciously thinking as citizens as well as future scientists by using and applying mathematical reasoning and mathematical tools.
Early CIEAEM conferences mainly brought together European mathematicians and mathematics teachers from secondary schools with a presupposed common interest and background in mathematics teaching in order to share views, experiences and intentions for the improvement of mathematics education. The changing conditions for teaching and learning mathematics by extending compulsory schooling, however, raised a growing interest in research in mathematics education and influenced our conferences and their actually relevant themes. CIEAEM became more attractive to a broader international audience: for colleagues from abroad, from non-industrialised and (ex-) socialist countries, and also more and more for primary school teachers.
The Conferences of CIEAEM
Developments in mathematics education as a scientific discipline and reflections within CIEAEM changed the topics and subjects of themes conferences, the research fields and the debates: from a concentration or restriction on content reformulation or selection and on methodological questions in mathematics education themes later addressed broader epistemological, psychological, sociological and technological problems, the conditions of the educational environment (interaction, evaluation and assessment), and the raise of problems in connection with newly developed technologies.
CIEAEM has always been more than just an annual exchange of research work or a debate on educational developments among researchers. CIEAEM conferences are a unique meeting place where teachers and researchers work together and exchange their experiences and views in a friendly and stimulating climate: from practice and theory, from research and its critique or application into educational development.
CIEAEM is an ICMI Affiliate Organization since 2010

Alexander City, AL—Freshman Ksenia Vasilyev, MMI's No. 1 singles player, proved that her undefeated season in Alabama Community College Conference play was no fluke. She blasted through the women's flight 1 singles field to claim the MVP award in dominant fashion.
The hard-hitting, hard-charging Vasilyev played under the lights on Friday night and came out with her racket blazing, rocketing serves and ground strokes into the farthest reaches of the court. She obliterated her opponent's serve with ease and then gobbled up all the short balls for clean winners, rolling to a 6-1, 6-1 romp over Coastal Alabama's Madelyn Stewart.
In the finals on Saturday morning, Vasilyev faced off against an opponent who had her on the ropes in an early-season match. In that match, Vasilyev lost a string of seven straight games to lose the second set and go down 0-3 in the third and final set. Vasilyev dug herself out of that hole and won the match, 6-4, 5-7. 6-4.
The stage was set for a titanic struggle between the blaster and the retriever (Central Alabama's Morgan Bishop). Playing nearly flawless tennis in the first five games, Vasilyev tore out to a 4-1 lead. Bishop chipped away at the lead to close the gap to one game. At 4-3, Vasilyev polished off the last two games to take the first set, 6-3.
The second set was close from the start, with both players holding serve. Again, as in the first set, Vasilyev broke away at 4-3 to take the second set and the match, 6-3, 6-3.
Vasilyev will now represent Marion Military Institute at the 2019 NJCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship that will be held at the JoAnn Medlock Murphy Tennis Center on the campus of Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas.
