We're back from our (temporally misplaced) inter-season break with our Tamers season retrospective special! We dive into season 3 podcast statistics, announce the winner of the Podigious Tamers Fantasy Draft, discuss the results of the Listener Favorites polls, and gab about our favorite tamers, adults, ships, partner Digimon, digivolution, and Deva. We also close out the season with the Omega RDD and Tamers Terminal Judgment.
What did you think about this episode?
Note: All replies here will show up on the episode page on podigious.com.
Great Episode. Can't wait for Frontier and I'm going to try to be more involved with the Podcast through the Forum.
Great Episode!
I really enjoyed all the discussion this episode! I'm going to miss all the discussion of Tamers, but I look forward to the start of the Frontier Discussion---which will be completely new territory for me since I didn't really watch anything past Tamers, since FoxKids kind of ended right around the end of Tamers, and I didn't have access to the stations Frontier aired on. I've tried to watch Frontier on Hulu, but every time I start episode 1 I only get so far into it before something comes up and I have to work on something else and can't devout any time to dedicate some time to sitting down and watching the series. I've heard mixed reviews of Frontier, so It'll be fun to walk into the next season and be able to make judgement on the season for myself for the first time!
Anyhow, again great episode! I look forward to the next episodes!
This was best episode yet! Can't wait for Digimon Frontier!
In response to that Steve Blum for Tamer thing, it may not have necessarily been a joke. He played Kenta in the dub, after all.
Also, I sort of fell off from some of the more recent podcast episodes due to busyness and partially due to fanboyism clashing with some of the opinions that were expressed on the podcast...
Anyway, looking forward to Frontier coverage! Less fanboyism towards that season here, but I do remember liking it (at least up until certain characters appear) due to it basically being Digimon toku.
your Terdis comment made me laugh because this was all I could picture what will the ship name for RikaXJeri be? I agree that Ryo is the one thing a would change about Tamers, however, I wouldn't remove him I would better ingrate him like Jeff mentioned. Connect him to Rika backstory better and mention the Wonderswan games. here is an idea for Ryo's introduction why not do one of those TV movie events where they animate the Wonderswan games. You could have used the budget for the two Tamers movies to make it. it would have been integrated into the show so that it would have aired right before Ryo's introduction episode.
I would have also liked more information on Yamaki(how did he find out about Digimon, how did Hypnos come to be), the monster makers(how did they meet, what was it like when they encountered Digimon for the first time, more on Alice and , Ai/mako and Impmon Maybe if Tamers had more episodes we could have dedicated a couple to exploring some of these characters.
I am looking forward to Frontier as I have not seen it in a while but I remember enjoying it. I find myself rewatching Adventures, Adventures 02, and Tamers the most.
Question, are a planning on going through every Digimon season up to Appmon? And do you plan on doing a podcast on the X-Evolution movie?
Cool! There's a possibility we might switch back to Disqus comments on the episode pages for Frontier instead of the forum (since most of the discussion happens in the comment threads for an episode anyway and posting on Disqus is easier for new people). Hopefully that just makes it easier for everyone to comment and makes it better for everyone
oooh, getting to experience an entire season of Digimon for the first time is exciting! Out of curiosity, how much do you know about Frontier events/twists? (I'm still trying to figure out how we should handle spoilers for this season)
Ooohhhh, totally missed that.
Oh no! Hope we weren't too negative or piling on hate. I think one problem with how we approached Tamers was that smaller arc chunks and applying a fine-toothed comb to the show made it easier to be negative than positive (like we can end up listing everything we didn't like about the episodes, even if we still really liked the show/season as a whole).
Aside from the TV movie part (I think TV movies aren't really a concept for anime in Japan), I totally agree! If everyone really loved Ryo as much as his defenders claim, this would've been an obvious choice, and could've gone a long way to fix so many details with his execution.
So many ideas that could've used just a bit more exploration
Short answer: yes!Long answer: Yeah, but Frontier is the last season where our plans are 100% natural and straightforward, because it's the last season that had the combination of factors that always made it obvious that we'd cover the dub:
All of that is to say: we're really not sure yet how we're going to do Savers, Xros Wars, and Appmon. For Savers, neither dub nor sub arep legally streaming, and I've only experienced it subbed, so I'll probably be pushing to cover it subbed — but I'm not sure how the other hosts feel or how listeners would feel about it. And there is an official release of the dub (on DVD), so covering that would be the more ethical thing to do… For Xros Wars, the sub is legally streaming (on CR) and the dub didn't cover the last third of the season (so if we did dub, we'd have to switch over to sub at some point anyway), so I'd be pretty inclined for us to do subbed for that season. And Appmon... who knows. Hopefully the sub is legally streaming on CR by the time we get there (like how Xros Wars went up on CR partway through its run), but there's a chance that the sub is never legally streaming and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I'm not as sure about X-Evolution, but I think it's likely and we'd probably do it where it fit chronologically release-wise (between Frontier and Savers).
I know a little bit of the twists and events from the season, though I haven't actually watched the season before, I've come across bits and pieces about the characters and the season itself through wiki searches, and from friends who really like the show and have sort of spoiled some of it accidentally. So I know a lot of the basic plot elements and some of the story lines, but haven't actually seen full episodes.
Enjoyed Family Feud a lot! And man, that seemed like a lot of work for all of that data that was compiled - good job with that! Anticipating Frontier discussion, especially since I binged the season right after watching Tri Ch. 3 on Crunchyroll! (2-week free trial, no commercials )

Song info
"I Need A Doctor" Videos
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long, I'm runnin' outta time
I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
I told the world one day I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it so that one day I could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm sayin' that
Doubts startin' to creep in, everyday it's just so grey and black
Hope, I just need a ray of that, cause no one sees my vision
When I play it for 'em, they just say it's wack, they don't know what dope is
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you
But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fighting you, it's dark
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
I don't think you realise what you mean to me, not the slightest clue
Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick
You gon either wanna fight me when I get off this fuckin' mic
Or you gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do cause
It hurts when I see you struggle, you come to me with ideas
You say they're just pieces, so I'm puzzled, cause the shit I hear is crazy
But you're either gettin' lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Can't make a decision you keep questionin' yourself
Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help
Like I'm your leader, you're supposed to fuckin' be my mentor
I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are
It was YOU, who believed in me when everyone was tellin'
You don't sign me, everyone at the fuckin' label, let's tell the truth
You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you
Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy, Dre, I'm cryin' in this booth
You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me
Get up Dre I'm dyin', I need you, come back for fuck's sake
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long, I'm runnin' outta time
I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
bring me back to life, bring me back to life,
I need (a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life)
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though
You walked in, yellow jump suit, whole room, cracked jokes
Once you got inside the booth, told you, mic smoke
Went through friends, some of them I put on, but they just left
They said they was ridin' to the death, but where the fuck are they now?
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim, fuck all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him
Fuckin' backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us
Now you bout to feel the fuckin' wrath of Aftermath, faggots
You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack, maggots
And the crackers' ass, little crack a jack beat
Makin' wack math, backwards producers, I'm back bastards
One more CD and then I'm packin' up my bags and as I'm leavin'
I'll guarantee they scream, "Dre, don't leave us like that man!" cause

THE TAXPAYERS/VOTERS GOT IT RIGHTon April 13th, 2015 at 10:59 PM
The Monarch Concerned Taxpayers Congratulate Robin Harris On His Re-election
We were hopeful voters would not fall for the Union's lies and scare tactics and instead retain the taxpayers' seat on the Board of Directors. Well the response was overwhelming and as far as we know the greatest margin of victory in the history of the Monarch District. Mr. Harris has worked diligently on behalf of the taxpayers and we are fortunate to have him represent us.
So what happens next? After ten years of acrimony, head butting, wasted time and wasted money will the rank and file Union members demand the Union Bosses step aside so that the District Board and the Union can begin to work together, or will it be business as usual? There are three elected Directors (two represent us Taxpayers and one the Union) and they are not going anywhere. But out of more than 100 Monarch Union members we would think there are those among them who would tell the Union Bosses to step aside and let them try to build a relationship with the Board.
The way we see it, the money the Union Bosses cost their own members with frivolous legal and administrative actions could have been going into both raises and reduced taxes. This will only change when the rank and file say they have had enough.

let 2x = d;
Sujeet Varakhedi
How is (pi*r^2)/2 :(pi*r^2)/3 = r:x ?
vivek gupta
Nice try,
Dan McGrath
my answer is
Cheradenine Zakalwe
I am unable to go further than the following equation:
vivek gupta
Pete de Graaf
Me too.
Dan McGrath
I get d = 0.52986*r
Scott Sharp
Guys, can you post your working? This is driving me nuts.
Adrian Gilby
I've not gotten it, but here's what I have so far.. you need the middle area to be 1/3 of the total area, so the middle area A = (1/3 Pi r^2).
Larry Mitchell
You might find it easier if you work in radians instead of degrees. That way a lot of the pis cancel out.

Gamification involves the use of game elements in a non-game setting or context and it is a popular method that is being used in many classrooms. It can greatly enhance instruction without increasing costs, so it has become a preferred tool for many educators. The considerate of using gamification often comes when different learning designers hear of how game thinking can improve an educational experience as well as employee training. This tool not only makes the classroom more beneficial for students but for teachers as well. Gamification can be implemented into existing instruction and will dramatically improve all learning outcomes and will also help to motivate students and keep them involved in the learning experience being offered.
When gamification is used with learning it is sometimes referred to as gameful thinking, motivation design, engagement design or game principles for education. These all mean the same thing and they are completely different from game-based learning. With gamification, the individual student does not make their own game or play any commercial video games. They will instead engage with others in the classroom using gaming elements and this can enhance the learning experience in amazing ways. There is a number of different game elements that are now being used in the classroom and each has some amazing benefits that will motivate and engage students more than traditional teaching has in the past.
By using gamification, the hope is to replicate the engagement of gamers and games that can then be translated to educational contexts that can help facilitate learning and have a better influence on the behaviors of students. Many gamers spend hours engaged in games and educators are trying to use gamification as a way to keep them engaged in the classroom as well by providing a fun way to learn that includes a rewards system.
Game Elements that are Used
When using gamification there will be different game elements that are used with the learning courses. There are many types of elements and each teacher or instructor will choose those that will provide the most benefits for the class as a whole as well as for individual students. Game elements are components that are often used together with game dynamics and mechanics to help shape gamification. Dynamics refer to the world that is created for the user and the mechanics are actions that are created to keep users engaged and motivated. With game elements, these are various components that are used to create both of these and they are specific to the activity being performed or the class being taught.
Game elements will have to fulfill a need to maintain interest, so the choice of elements is essential when implementing gamification in a learning environment. There are many elements that can be used, but most educators will rely on the most common elements as they have proven to be very effective in the classroom and have successfully engaged students and motivated them to be successful.
The following list contains the most used elements and there is a brief description of how these work and why they are used.
- Avatars – These are virtual personalities or representations of the user
- Points Systems – Points are earned as tasks are completed, goal achieved or progress noted
- Teams – Users will work together to achieve common goals
- Missions – These are certain milestones and goals that must be reached to earn points or rewards
- Virtual Goods – Users will earn goods that can be used at various levels that can present great rewards
- Leaderboards – These will show the standing of each participant so they can see where they are in terms of other students and their individual progress
- Battle – This is a challenge that is designed to have individuals compete using certain skills or knowledge.
These different elements are often used in a classroom setting and have become a great teaching aid. They help to shape the mechanics and dynamics that create gamification and they play a large role in the motivation of students.
Benefits to Using Gamification in Education
Gamification is a powerful tool in education when it is used correctly and it can provide a number of amazing benefits. It successfully makes boring and mundane tasks much more enjoyable and fun and also boosts participation and will help to increase retention of knowledge. In many cases, the use of gamification can change fear into fun and will also make students feel like they want to do something instead of having to do it. It will also challenge each student and provide them with a reason to learn and will inspire them and have them thinking in different ways.
Gamification will give students goals and those goals will give them purpose. When it is used in the right way, it can tap into the natural tendency to be goal-oriented and to set certain standards that are needed to achieve set goals.
E-Learning and Gamification
When it comes to the world of online learning, gamification can be used to promote and enhance the commitment of the students during the learning process. If a process can be gamified, it can offer rewards for certain behaviors and will make a task much more enjoyable for the student. Games are very helpful when it comes to increasing the levels of interaction and motivation, so this can help to optimize the learning process and will result in more engaged students. With e-learning, motivation is essential since students are working on their own time and at their own pace. There needs to be rewards for motivation and a reason for them to return to the online classroom. Gamification helps with this and is now one of the most popular teaching tools used with online courses.

My eyes glistening wet, holding back the tears I admit, "It has taken more faith for me to return to Tennessee than it did to go to Mexico in the first place." The Mexican village that once forced me from my comfort zone has become like a well worn shoe, or should I say, huarache (Mexican sandal). Language, customs and mannerisms which were once foreign to me, had become my norm. Now, don't get me wrong, living in Mexico was far from easy. In fact those 16 years were filled with constant crisis management. The vicarious trauma & personal hardship that we have experienced are enough to make anyone a little overwhelmed. Stories, I could tell, but refrain…. At times it seemed like it would never end, yet today I sit in another country. One where people call me "Sweetheart" & "Honey" and then say, "Chew ain't frum round here, are ya!?!" I must "re"tune my ears to understand their Southern draw, and then reply, "Well actually I am from here, it's just been a while since I've lived here."
What was once my normal, has now become strange and unusual. Sometimes when people speak to me, I stare blankly. I'm processing, translating & trying to understand. As I am once again stretched beyond my comfort zone, I struggle with the question, "Why am I here?" Over the years, I've heard many missionaries say that it was difficult for them to return to their home country. And so it is! The familiar…now unfamiliar, my identity…challenged. Who am I? Where is my place? Then unexpectedly, I heard God's still steady voice…"America has become the mission field." I look around, I listen, I contemplate and I know that this is true.
A lot has changed in the last 16 years! America, Tennessee, you have changed! Then again, I have changed too. His reassuring voice, comfortingly familiar, "Everything that you've learned the last 16 years is to prepare you for this!"
I knew coming here would bring clarity for the next step and next season. And little by little I am starting to piece together His purpose in asking me once again to take off my comfortable shoes.
What comfortable shoes is God asking you to take off inorder to follow Him?

Five thousand miles from home and not so fresh from a midnight discussion of drastically under appreciated soul genius — mainly Luther, Teddy and Donnie — I entered my hotel room and snapped up the iPad to check the headlines from home. Something whispered not to forget the obits, so I checked. And then I crashed. A long time ago, the night that Teddy Pendergrass told me flat out "Marvin Junior is my father," I vowed to myself that when the great Chicago master of rasp and shout passed, I'd do my part to shout the hosannas that Marvin Junior deserved. That moment has come.
"Iron Throat" as another of his progeny, David Ruffin called him, died in Chicago last week. (That the world at that moment busied itself missing Ray Manzarek does not escape my bitter notice.) You who don't know who the hell I'm mourning, bend an ear, not just to "Oh What a Night," "There Is" and "Stay in My Corner" but even to the seeming inanity of "I Can Sing a Rainbow / Love is Blue" in which Marvin Junior deepens banality into honest deep emotion by not so simply isolating less than a word, just a syllable — "blue," "grey," and finally declaiming "I'm" past the empty absurdity of its origin.
Marvin Junior was the through-line in the story of one of the most remarkable — not least because only the fans and other singers seemed to notice — group careers in rock and soul history. Nothing better illustrates the transition from doo-wop to soul than the Dells' two versions of "Oh What a Night," the perfect doo-wop of 1956 and the improbable Philly-style soul of 1969, the one with the great Johnny Funches as tenor, the other with the equally great Johnny Carter and Marvin Junior on both, as the implacable, enduring gravity that held the group in a steady orbit all the way through. The Dells had not only two legitimate any kind of Hall of Fame tenors but in the mighty Chuck Barksdale arguably the best bass singer in any black vocal harmony group. So I guess that it makes sense that Marvin Junior stood out a little less than he might have in other company (but less than Ray Manzarek?). But for most of the fans he was both the guts of their sound and the whipped cream on top. It was the gravity he brought to records like "The Love We Had Stays on My Mind" and "Give Your Baby a Standing Ovation" (which has its own share of transcended absurdities) that led the group from adolescent ecstasies to adult triumphs. It's two aspects of one mighty sensibility and it endured for four decades because of it.
So I say farewell not only to a beloved voice who has traveled with me not only great distances but taught a lesson or two and left me with some convictions, too. And a continent away from pretty much everybody who understands why, the love we had stays on my mind.

Fostering can be as short as a week. Our partnering organizations can work with your schedule, even if it's really tight. But while you're here, share the love!
Adopting an animal is a big commitment, and not everyone is ready for that step. Fostering is a great way to temporarily care for an animal and test the waters.
Some of the best foster families are those who already have animals. They know the ropes, and their furry friends enjoy having a houseguest around.
Most organizations have training sessions or one-on-ones with new foster caregivers. If this is a specific concern of yours, make sure to mention it when you first speak with your foster organization.
Depending on the organization, financial cost varies. Almost all organizations provide vaccinations and vet checks before fostering, and some can provide you with donated food and accessories. With most organizations, you need to provide food, a collar and leash for dogs, and a litter box and litter for cats. Food and litter will cost under $20 a week. Be sure to ask your foster organization what they can provide when you speak with them.
We can't promise that you won't. But if you've fallen in love with your foster animal, that means someone else could too! Helping your foster animal find a forever home will help make your separation a sweet one.
Yes! Your organization will be looking for a good match, but you get to play a big role in finding your foster animal their perfect home. Along with screening potential adopters, you might be asked to bring the foster animal out to adoption events. You can share your cute photos with the organization to use on their website, and help the organization find the right fit for your foster.
There are a lot of animal foster resources online. Here are just a few to get you started:
20 Questions to Ask Before You Foster
Pet Fostering 101
Tips for Being a Good Dog Foster Parent
Tips for Being a Good Cat Foster Parent
A foster home is a short-term living situation for animals while helping the animal get adopted. It can be as short as a few days, or as long as it takes for them to be adopted. The organization can work around your time constraints.
Foster families provide animals with love, attention and shelter. Every animal fostered is an animal saved.
Kittens, puppies, and special care animals need to be fostered until they are old enough for adoption.
Some animals get stressed or upset in a shelter environment, and need human companionship until they are adopted.
Apply to foster through one of many organizations.
The organization will contact you and then place you with a foster animal.
Help your foster animal find its forever home. Congrats!

By Staff Sgt. Carlos R. DavisOctober 24, 2013
CAMP CASEY, South Korea -- The 210th Fires Brigade is part of the Counter Fire Task Force, with a mission to provide timely and accurate rocket and missile fire in the defense of the Republic of Korea.
To accomplish such task, 210th Fires Bde., must practice using realistic training environments to uphold the standard of the 2nd Infantry Division.
The 210th Fires Bde., conducted an Ammunition Combat Load Retrieval Exercise Oct. 17-18 on Camp Casey. The retrieval, uploading and transporting of the brigade's ACL is critical to the success of the brigade's mission.
"It is a semi-annual training event that our brigade executes," said Maj. Brandon P. Toolan, a native of Philadelphia, Penn., the brigade operations officer. "The goal of the exercise is to practice and train our ability to upload our go-to-war ammunition combat load in a timely, sequential fashion in order to expedite our deployment off of Camp Casey to our initial battle position so we can provide those fires in a timely and proficient manner."
For one Soldier, this realistic training provides him with an overall picture of possible threats that Soldiers can face every day on the Korean peninsula.
"We can be called to go to war at any given moment," said Spc. Anthony Burton, of Jacksonville, Fla., a motor transport operator assigned to Battery A, 1st Battalion, 38th Field Artillery Regiment. "It is our job to get our ammunition as quickly as possible, and get it out to the multiple launch rocket systems crewmembers so they can do their job, which is sending rockets down range."
Time is the unit's biggest challenge; however, safety is one of the most important factors while performing the training.
"We have to be fast but at the same time we do not want to jeopardize the safety of Soldiers or damage the equipment," said Burton.
Damaged equipment can slow down the mission due to the fact that they cannot be replaced right away.
"Ammunition handlers have to be a lot more proactive in what they are doing to ensure they are doing the right things," Capt. Daniel Dotson added, a Hampton, Ga. native, the battery commander for Battery B, 1st Battalion, 38th Field Artillery Regiment. According to Dotson, they use training pods as training aides throughout the year to stay proficient.
The Ammunition Combat Load Retrieval Exercise is an event that tests the 210th Fires Brigade's ability to alert its formations and upload critical ammunition. This realistic training is an effective way to enhance the unit's readiness to 'fight tonight' and win, if called upon.

Barry M That's How I Roll Mascara
It's good to see a new mascara in the less pricey category – the Barry M That's How I Roll Mascara is designed to lift and curl lashes. And, yes it does. It's mega-curl, but the shape of the brush definitely pushes lashes upwards, and the curl you end up with I think depends upon the length of your lashes in the first place.
It has slightly shorter bristles on one side and graduates to longer on the other – the purpose of this is to kind of 'roll' it through the lashes to get the swept upwards and coated. It took me 3 coats to get a 'full' look alongside the upward look, but it does definitely do the job. Two coats gives you a spiked lash look which I like for day rather than a fat look. In terms of performance, I wore it lastnight and it stayed true the whole evening.
The Barry M That's How I Roll Mascara is £4.99 and launches on 10th Feb (Superdrug… Boots soon after) – one to look out for if you've over-done the January sales, budget wise!

Ooh this is exciting! I love their Showgirl mascara and was looking to buy a new tube but I think I'll hold out and wait for this to be launched instead now 🙂
Oh I'm so happy to see this post, I am desperate for a mascara and I've been thinking of Barry M as I use lots of there other products.
I don't care if this mascara is awesome or not! I'll buy it just for the name! lol.

Michel Di Capua, Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Head of US Analysis
Stuart Bernstein, Goldman Sachs Head of Cleantech and Renewables
Bob Hemphill, AES Solar, JV between AES Corp and Riverstone Holdings
Jacob Susman, OwnEnergy
The one word you hear from investors is "consistency." But there isn't consistency in US policy for energy. Vinod Khosla wrote, "Policies do matter because they can encourage or discourage experimentation." Take out risk or reduce cost so innovators can afford to take risk.
The overall uncertainty in cleantech raises the cost of capital. (Unlike most, Goldman Sachs funds cleantech companies from the GS balance sheet.)
The panel believes that the potential for renewable energy project finance is in pension funds, institutional investors, and large corporations serving as tax equity providers (such as 90% tax equity). But are temporary tax breaks enough to help cleantech companies get over the bump towards scalability? Michel di Capua, Head of US Analysis at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, believes the economics of tax equity works, but limits the people that can participate. If there isn't more than $25m in the deal, it's not worth it.
The problem is not that there is no debt financing, rather, there's not enough high-quality projects. Besides the Goldman Proprietary Fund, there is financing in growth equity, private equity and commercial banks as well, and the market is $250 billion. More unregulated subsidiaries of utilities have joined top of league tables in wind and solar investments, renewable procurement. Private equity firms are putting capital into independent transmission companies.
Bernstein believes VC winners now will be counter-cyclical – now is the time to invest when others aren't so optimistic. If you take out the bad press, rates of return have gone up in solar and wind, so it is an attractive time to invest.
Financing obstacles:
- policy uncertainty
- technology risk
- tax equity works, but limits people that can participate

The Documented Life Project: Week 39
Welcome to Week 39 of the Documented Life Project! Week 39's challenge was to add splatters and drips. I used a combination of india inks and spray inks.
The inside spread features two cards from artist Chet Phillips. I used them to cover up a mess I had made trying something else. I got mud! I have two sets of Chet's cards, one for Artistic Pets and one for Literary Pets. They are so fun. The white cut out across the top is actually the backing from a sticker that I ran through my Xyron. :-)
The flowers near the bottom half of the tip-in are from some happy mail I received. Wish I could remember who it was from!
The highlights this week were my getting the phone call for an interview for a job I had applied for (yes, I got the job...more on than with the next DLP post!) and our Campus Awareness Day. Campus Awareness Day includes Club Day, a Volunteer Fair, and a tradition I brought with me from my own college days, our Student/Admin Ice Cream Social. The administration scoops the ice cream and the students get to enjoy it! It's really a fun afternoon for all. We also had our first TEDxFSCJ that Saturday.

5 New Businesses That Prove Vancouver Is Kicking (Vegan) Ass
(And most of them involve ice cream)
- Kokomo (heykokomo.ca): Don't let the terms " plant-focused" or " plant-based" lead you astray. Kokomo is 100% vegan friendly (and Happy Cow-certified). Ranging from acai bowls to the instantly popular Coastal Macro Bowl (brown rice layered with greens, marinated tempeh, roasted squash, cucumber, ginger pickled cabbage and edamame hummus), Kokomo made waves in the local vegan scene when they quickly established themselves as the first Vancouver business to serve Cocowhip.
VISIT: 611 Gore Avenue
- Friendly Snackbar ( friendlyvancouver.com): Friendly has been open for a few weeks, but offered a refreshing vegan infusion to the Mt. Pleasant Community since the day it opened. Self-defined as " a collaborative project launched by a few friends, who desired a space to share their locally produced food", Friendly brings together the creators (badass females if I may add) and innovators behind Smallflower Café/Bakery, Say Hello Sweets, and Zimt Chocolates. Savory options, sweet options, juices, smoothies, and a special appearance from the lovely team at Spark Kombucha: all tastebuds and preferences win here.
Visit: 2408 Main Street
- Gomae (gomaeapp.com): Real talk, vegans can't sustain off of lettuce (no matter how often the haters like to think we can). Gomae is an app born out of Vancouver, by a team who wanted to provide quick access to vegan menu items, at local restaurants. Download the app and search your restaurant of choice. Enter the convenient colour coding: completely vegan items are highlighted in green, items that can be modified to become vegan are yellow, or red: back up, stop, because this item is full of animal products. Gomae was born in Vancouver, and will soon be expanding into other areas of the lower mainland. Visit: gomaeapp.com
- The Juice Truck (juicetruck.ca): I have an admitted bias towards The Juice Truck (and it's not because I take credit for turning one of the cofounders vegan). These guys were one of the first businesses in the city to bring vegan eats and drinks to the mainstream. Not only have they been incredibly successful along the way, they have grown their business ethically, remained loyal to their local markets, are genuinely two of the kindest guys I know, and this week on August 1, launched a vegan soft serve at their newest (Yaletown) location. Expect a rotating variety of cold pressed flavours, in addition to a selection of topping such as pineapple caramel, house made peanut butter granola, fresh fruit, and coconut shavings.
Visit: 1022 Mainland Street.
- Chickpea (ilovechickpea.ca): We all know the truck. We all know the falafel. If you are a decent vegan in this city, you best know the hummus. Chickpea dazzled us from day 1 with their classic Mediterranean comfort food, and gained extra points when they announced that they were taking all eggs off the menu (and therefore becoming 100% vegan). Chickpea fries: not to be missed. Cauliflower of Life: speaks for itself.
Visit: 4298 Main Street.
For them, for us, for the planet.
For The Vegan Project,
Zoe Peled | IG @zoemarg | firstname.lastname@example.com

Baseball, Softball one step closer to a unified federation
by Gen on Dec.14, 2012 @ 12:09 am, under International
The International Baseball Federation (IBAF) announced that they received unanimous approval on their merger with the International Softball Federation (ISF). A snip from their announcement:
The final results of the International Baseball Federation's mail-in ballot were announced Wednesday and saw unanimous approval from the IBAF membership to create a new and unified world body that would govern both baseball and softball at the international level.
... "We are moving forward with our colleagues from softball in an effort to streamline administration, add key support to our athletes and NFs and further develop our sports, and we look forward to presenting an exceptional value proposal to the Olympic Movement for 2020 and beyond," Fraccari stated.
... "As we prepare our first important presentation to the IOC [Programme Commission] as a joint IF in a few days, this confirmation from IBAF gives us added inspiration and momentum," Porter said.

The people I find myself around are all up to something…something that is outside of comfortable, more than they even dreamed possible.
They are building things, creating things, innovating and serving the world in the coolest ways.
I observe that it's often the people who serve in a business setting that are insanely effective. I like insanely effective people because I find they are often he happiest and doing the most good in the world, the two most important things in my life.
I am constantly awed by the power of a conscious company– when an entire organization can represent core values and deep held commitments, when they experience amazing profit and success as a RESULT of behavior that's noble and intentional, when they recognize that kindness and people's personal joy matters most.
My mission is clear: to integrate spirit @ work and prove that without a doubt, anything is possible if built on a foundation of kindness, nobility, doing good and authentic happiness. basically, to prove happiness sells.
My challenge is big: 100 Million Americans are dissatisfied with their lives…. and I believe until we as individuals find sustainable happiness the rest of our efforts are a waste.
My noble business partner and friend introduced me to Mel Robbins this morning and I was overwhelmed at realizing that my belief is not singular– that many people agree and want to join the movement to create sustainable happiness as a foundation for everything.
If you agree even a little, or if you desire it for yourself but haven't yet achieved it ( the data says 1 in 3 are seeking! ) then You've got to watch this:
like? then you might like this:
How resilient is your happiness?
What real happiness looks like

The aim of Girona City History Museum is to show the evolution of the city, starting with the first human remains found in the area and continuing right up to the transition to democracy after the Franco dictatorship, and to portray the society that brought it all about. The fourteen exhibition rooms, arranged in chronological order, are complemented by theme rooms such as those dedicated to industrial Girona/pioneer city, sardana dancing and cobla bands, and contemporary Girona. The Museum now includes other places around the city that are part of the Network of Demographic Memory Spaces: the Jardí de la Infància air-raid shelter, the provincial prison and the mass grave are an extension of the museum room dedicated to the Spanish Civil War.
The central Museum building is located in the heart of the old part of the city and offers a varied programme of activities and temporary exhibitions. The building itself has an interesting history. In the 18th century, it housed St Anthonys monastery of Capuchin friars, and conserves surprising features from that time, such as a cistern and a desiccation cemetery. Discover another way of experiencing the history of Girona!
This amenity is full of new offerings to acquaint visitors with the city's history in a fun and entertaining way. The Museum was created in 1981, when Girona City Council proposed to play an active part in restoring life to a building in the old quarter, a historical building with a singular past, inviting visitors to embark on a tour along the historical trajectory of our city and of its urban social fabric.
The City History Museum is housed in a building which has of itself a singular past behind it. Its basement contains remains of the late-2nd or early-3rd century Roman wall. In the 15th century it was a prominent Gothic mansion belonging to the Cartellà family, later becoming the Sant Antoni monastery of the Capuchin friars. Simply of itself the building is a true marvel, with surprising areas that have been preserved in magnificent condition, as is the case of the former monastery's cemetery or desiccator, the cistern (an interesting example of a water tank), the cloister and the impressive salons. Towards the end of the 19th century it became a middle school, while finally 1981 saw the creation of the City History Museum. Explore it!

Since 2006, the Republican controlled House of Representatives have voted to overturn Obamacare over 60 times. Now with their own Republican president pleading for them to send him replacement legislation, they failed to deliver. Almost to the person these Republican members of the House campaigned and won on the promise they would throw out the current law and replace it with a new and improved version. So why did they fail to even get a bare majority to come together on legislation that could be sent on to the Senate.
The first reason, unlike the Democrats, who, except for maybe the Black Caucus, stay in lockstep with their leadership. The Republicans are divided into factions; the study committee, the conservative Freedom Caucus, the more moderate Tuesday group, the Saturday group who are aligned against Trump, the left-leaning Rhinos and the right leaning Tea Party members. Despite what they promised, when each knew they would be held accountable for their vote, both to their constituency and their caucus, as a group, they were not able to put together a consensus. With the 2018 reelection looming, these very same individuals must know that if they don't deliver on revising or replacing Obamacare, there is a good chance many of them won't be around. This also includes the Democrats, who are up for reelection too in the House and Senate.
It then should be of no surprise that the replacement to Obamacare will be brought up again before the next election cycle. This time, my guess, the Republican leadership will have the votes lined up to pass a bill on to the Senate, rather than face the humiliation of this last week.
As Donald Trump found out, repealing or replacing Obamacare is not as simple as he portrayed in his many campaign speeches. Many hurdles exist, but these below are near the top of the list. First is to protect those who have already obtained coverage under this program. Second is to continue to offer affordable coverage or supplements to those with significant pre-existing conditions. Three is what to do with the existing and the newly expanded state Medicaid programs. Forth is what to do about the existing taxes that came with the legislation. Fifth would be how to bring in additional funds to pay for these expanded health care benefits such as by health care savings accounts and vouchers. The last would be to encourage competition in the insurance industry by expanding competition across state lines.
What happened to the Republican plan? There will be a lot of finger-pointing all around about who did or didn't do what to keep it from passing. So Paul Ryan pulled the bill rather than have it voted down. There are several important reasons contributing to why it was pulled. The most obvious is that many of the most conservative factions, within the party, were not allowed into the original markup of the plan. It is not surprising then that enough Republicans bolted to keep it from passing out of the House. The current version only needed a simple majority, using reconciliation (51), votes to pass. This option evidently expires in August. If the vote had failed or if any new health care legislation is brought up again after August, reportedly it will have to pass by 60 votes.
According to supporters of the Ryan/Trump plan, it was drawn so that it would have left part as a carry over from Obamacare to maintain the ability of the Secretary of Health and Human Services to act independently in 'cleaning up' the unreasonably costly 'essential health benefits', such as male enrollees paying for maternity benefits and general mental health coverage.
Most in the media, on both sides, have claimed this was a failure of Donald Trump's leadership. However, his failure was in trusting his Party to come together to bring him a viable alternative that would repeal and replace Obamacare. It appears that he and his Vice President did all they could to muster support. But, it was too late. He will have learned a great lesson that will help him the next time around, with tax reform and building the wall.
The answer is to start by Trump making certain that a consensus is convened of Republican House of Representative members, Democrat members and medical experts from organizations such as the American Medical Association, the Brookings Institution and the Heritage Foundation to write the next proposed health care legislation. Then getting a simple majority won't be a problem.
Something that affects the lives of all of the American People and is quickly approaching 20% of U.S. spending deserves better the next time around.

Bridgeport police chief questioned at CONECT assembly
BRIDGEPORT — Police Chief Armando Perez said he was expecting a small gathering.
But the Congregations Organized for a New Connecticut assembly Thursday night was anything but small.
The meeting room of the Islamic Community Center — which hosted the event — was filled to the brim for CONECT's "We'll Rise" Assembly which began around 7:45 p.m. More than 200 community members from Norwalk to New Haven occupied all the available seats and spilled over onto the sides of the room against the walls.
CONECT is a broad-based community organization composed of 25 churches, synagogues, temples and mosques from New Haven and Fairfield counties. Thursday marked six years since the organization was founded in Bridgeport.
The first hour of the event was devoted to representatives of the religious organizations affiliated with CONECT, who spoke about their municipalities' progress in fighting bullying, bias and racial profiling.
The Rev. Anthony Bennett, pastor of Mount Aery Baptist Church and co-chairman of CONECT, then turned to questioning Perez about body cameras for officers, training for anti-bias policing and de-escalation tactics during police-civilian interactions, and asked about the police use of force.
Bennett and Perez had spoken earlier about the same issues and Thursday said he wasn't pleased with what he heard.
"It's still not enough," he said.
During Bennett's questioning, Perez was asked to provide a yes or no answer, but was given two minutes to expand on his statements afterward.
Bennett's first question was whether the Bridgeport Police Department would apply for state funding by the end of next week to help buy body cameras for police officers, to which Perez said yes.
Before the assembly, Perez told Hearst Connecticut Media he is making progress to involve the department in a pilot program which will equip about 10 percent of the force — roughly 30 officers — with body cameras.
"I'm going 100 miles an hour trying to get the body cams," Perez said earlier Thursday. He said he expects to meet with a pilot program representative on Tuesday.
When Bennett prompted Perez on whether he would have cameras purchased before Dec. 25, Perez said no. Despite the few boos heard from the audience after this answer, Perez earlier told Hearst he did not want to commit to a date in case of delays.
"Hopefully we're going to get this deal done," Perez said earlier Thursday. "I'm optimistic, I'm hopeful."
During the rest of Bennett's questioning, Perez said
de-escalation training would be provided for veteran officers before May. Perez said a transparent, detailed plan for officers on anti-bias and de-escalation training would be provided by March. The plan would be explained to CONECT members at a meeting set for 10 a.m. Jan. 9.
In answer to a question, Perez said he "cannot" provide a copy of the curriculum taught at the department's de-escalation training classes.
When Bennett referenced the fatal May 9 shooting of Jayson Negron by officer James Boulay, Perez said he could not legally comment on an ongoing investigation. The State Police investigation into the shooting is continuing.
"I can't bring him back," Perez said earlier Thursday about Negron. "But all I can say is that I know there is a fair, impartial investigation going on."
Perez said — before and during the assembly — he hopes to create a group of community leaders who can respond and reach out to the community after "tragic and horrific incidents like this one."

About a year ago, I dropped a spanner down a little gap in the engine bay that I couldn't fit my hands into. Kate and I spent some time trying to find a solution to retrieve it, but in the end decided that the only way it could be done would be with a very small hand and a thin arm. Around the same time, we had been thinking that life would be better if we had to do fewer night watches. We looked at each other and a lightbulb came on between us. What we needed was a very small crew member.
When we want something, it can usually be found by trawling eBay, Gumtree or Amazon. No small crew members were to be found there, however, so we turned to researching on Google. This is where we found our true answer: we needed a baby.
|Kate and my 6 month photos. Kate was clearly going to win this race
After ordering, I checked the estimated delivery date for the baby and discovered that it was atrociously far in the future (like, 9 months wtf?). If it had have been coming from Amazon, I would have signed up for Prime membership to speed things up, but Kate explained that you can't do that with babies so I stuck it out because they don't make spanners like that anymore and I really wanted to get mine back.
|Alien visitors slowed our work on Seahorse for the day
After sailing from Lanzarote to the boatyard in Portugal, we were working on getting Seahorse ready to be our family home. While we did that, Kate was also working on making the family. Just before the point beyond which airlines won't let pregnant women fly, we returned to the UK and moved onto a nice ketch in South Dock marina that Kate found for us to rent on Gumtree. At this point, our pregnant friends at work were just about to take their maternity leave. I had other plans for Kate, though, so she started her "maternity work". My old manager had need for Kate's skills for a month and seeing as we were back in London anyway, it seemed silly not to take the opportunity. During this time I didn't rest on my laurels, I trained hard for my role as stay at home dad by, well, staying at home.
|"You can't do that in your condition"
Kate ripping out the old galley on Seahorse.
She was active throughout pregnancy
Fast forward to now and we've had the baby, Beth, for three months and she's completely useless. I showed her the spanner that she needs to retrieve and all she did was dribble down the hole, so it will probably go rusty now. On top of this, she didn't come with an instruction manual. I mean, not even a PDF one written in dodgy English. I solved that problem through observation. It turns out that Beth is just like me: if she gets hungry or tired, she gets grumpy. Once I realised that, things weren't so hard. Considering how adorable she is, I don't mind that she's actually the worst crew member that I've ever seen. Even though she's more interested in sucking stuff than tying bowlines right now, I'm sure that one day I will have trained her enough to take a night watch.
The purpose of this blog post is twofold, the first being to introduce Beth to the Great Adventure. Job done. The second was to say how well the birth went. That will probably sound arrogant, but it's not intended to be. Our plan was to have as natural a birth as possible and we had already started reading around this subject when we were lucky enough to meet one of the best midwives ever! She's called Nicole and you'll know if you meet her from her accent which is hard to place. English people think she sounds Australian and Australian people think she sounds English. She was completely on our wavelength and helped guide us down the path to the birth that we wanted.
|Kate listening to her hypnobirthing CD. I had been exercising next to her
Amongst other things, Nicole recommended a film called Orgasmic Birth: The Best-Kept Secret. One of the people in this film urged us to share our positive birth story. This is to try and counter the negativity surrounding birth and to let people know that it doesn't need to be as bad as you probably think it will be. All you seem to hear when you're pregnant (or are with your partner who is) are people's horror stories of how terrible giving birth is. Every birth I see on screen involves a woman screaming out in pain as though she's having her leg amputated without anaesthesia. This doesn't reflect the whole truth and nothing like that happened while Kate was in labour. I wonder if people are less inclined to share their positive stories for fear of belittling others' experiences, or because it does kind of feel like boasting, but it isn't, it's just recognising that a different outcome is indeed possible and which, with the right preparation, can be yours too.
|In for a checkup
There's a joke to be made here about stool samples
Kate started having tiny contractions around 13:00, which we kept between us - there didn't seem any point getting people excited in case it was a false start. We were out and about and on our way to my parents' for lunch, where we ended up spending most of the afternoon. We returned to the boat via the fish and chip shop and ate while watching something on the laptop. After dinner, we went for a leisurely walk along the Thames. By now the contractions had grown considerably in intensity and it was easier for Kate to manage them while standing. We went back to the boat to get our labour bags which we had packed from lists from the NHS and elsewhere. Whoever compiled those lists was something of a joker. We ended up with three bags - one for me, one for Kate and one for the baby. We could have easily made do with just one bag which would have made our lives after the birth much easier. Actually, it would have made just my life easier because I was the muggins who had to carry all three bags like a packhorse. Maybe this was my comeuppance for sending Kate off on her maternity work. Who, for example, thought that I would need to take a book? Does that person even know what labour is? I diligently packed my Kindle with thoughts of lounging around in a comfy chair while we leisurely waited for the baby to come out. Let's just say that it didn't happen like that and amongst other things, you do not need to take a book in your labour bag!
|Time to turn that bump inside out
This was taken on our way out to get the taxi
We requested an Uber (taxi) just after midnight and had been assessed and put in the midwifery led suite by 01:00. Just after 06:00, we got to meet our little girl. Kate had done the whole thing using just her mind and her body. She didn't take any form of medication whatsoever. She was exhausted and it was definitely not an easy thing to do, but neither was it that terrible. Kate knew that she could do it and had trained herself to truly believe this. Her body took care of the rest, including her pain management. Because she was relaxed, confident, in the right environment and most importantly, not scared, all the right hormones could control the process as they are meant to do.
|Fresh out of the oven. Beth was actually born on the floor (on a mat) but we soon moved onto this comfy bed
I don't deny that the fact that a man writing about how "easy" giving birth can be is ludicrous, but I do promise you that Kate has read, edited and given this post her full endorsement. I was there with her throughout the experience and we have talked about it from each others' points of views afterwards so although I didn't actually push a watermelon through the eye of a needle myself, I'm not making things up.
|This is where the magic happened. The bed was folded up
until after the birth
We got delayed leaving hospital because there was a change of shift at 08:00 and our paperwork took ages to come through. The papers we did get were muddled up but we didn't realise this until we went to register Beth a few weeks later. Luckily the registrar noticed that we were about to register someone else's baby! We didn't mind staying in hospital while we waited, though, because we had our amazing new baby and we spent the time lounging on a nice big bed together enjoying being a family.
|A very proud father
This tranquility didn't last and that towel
has never been the same since
I felt honoured during this time when Beth chose me as the canvas for her first work of art. She covered me and an NHS towel in meconium (a baby's first type of poo). Man, that stuff is sticky! It felt like I had been involved in an industrial accident at a treacle factory. Trying to get it off both me and Beth was something of a struggle. More unnecessary items came out of the labour bag in the form of olive oil and cotton wool, which is supposedly good for removing meconium. It wasn't. After attempting a cleanup using those items, neither Beth nor I were any closer to being clean but now she was oiled up and as slippery as a wet bar of soap, which hindered further cleaning operations. The only thing for it was to run her under the tap and make an even bigger mess of the NHS towel to rub it all off. Luckily I didn't have to get either of our two towels dirty, which remained untouched in our bags thanks to that blasted packing list.
|Pineapples don't
induce labour but fish
and chips does
By the time that was done and we had eaten a spot of hard-won breakfast, our paperwork was back and we were allowed to leave. The problem with the breakfast was that when I enquired if we were going to get any food, it turned out that we had been forgotten from the breakfast round. Unbelievably, the midwifery-led suite doesn't get much use as most ladies elect to go on the ward to give birth, so the caterers weren't used to checking in on that room. The midwife cheerily told me to go to the kitchen myself and tell them what we would like. So off I trotted, which involved leaving the midwifery-led suite, walking to the other side of the floor and going into the labour ward. I strolled in and casually asked where the kitchen was. It was at this point that I was subjected to an interrogation that the KGB would probably have felt was harsh. The staff on the ward had mistaken me for a baby snatcher. It took me a while to explain that stealing a baby would be a really bad idea for me because I already had my hands full with our own one and I didn't want to have to deal with any more meconium than was necessary.
|Wrapped up and ready to go
This was the departing shot as we left
the hospital
It was 10:45 by the time we could leave and we headed out to catch the train home. For some reason, Kate had chosen that day to practise her John Wayne walk. Although a bit slower than usual, she managed just fine. She was clearly in discomfort, but she's not one to make a fuss. I didn't mind the slower pace because I was struggling to carry the labour bags. I took less stuff with me when I went to live in Canada for a year! Once off the train, a short bus ride got us back to the marina where we could begin the rest of our lives.
|My lovely ladies back home and resting up after their big night
I won't go into details of how you can prepare for a swift, natural birth with a fast recovery because I imagine that everyone's journey will be different, but I will list some of the resources that got us there at the end of this post. I fully understand that in some situations, medical intervention is absolutely necessary and a life saver. However, I firmly believe that in the current scheme of things, the vast majority of women are able to give birth without it. Not only that, but the way labour is currently managed in hospitals actually makes the experience slower, more painful and stressful and is usually the reason that intervention is required in the first place. Clearly, medical staff are doing the best they think they can and are giving their utmost to help women through childbirth. The problem is in the way they have been trained to do so in Western society. If we could change to a more natural method of birthing, which is in keeping with what our species has evolved to do over the last 65 million years or so, I think the NHS could save a stack of money and more importantly, women could look forward to experiencing the miracle that is birth rather than fearing it.
|Our temporary home, Anna-Maria, in South Dock Marina
