It's been over a year since I maintained a blog, the last one being the website for Paper Cat. At this point, I'm not sure whether this is a good idea or not, but I'm pretty hopeful. I don't have any specific plans for this blog at the moment; I guess I just wanted to try and write again and have a space online like I used to. I had several blogs in college, all of which are now either defunct or private, primarily because I don't want the cringe inducing chronicles of my youth viewable to strangers.
This year, as in the last few years before it, I did some pondering on my plans, goals—the works. Unfortunately, I've so far had no success in keeping any of these, so obviously this blog is not meant to be in any way inspirational. If anything, it's a diary of sorts, like how most of my previous blogs were, written for the documentation of significant life events and safekeeping of memories. Perhaps it would, in the future, also house my art and design portfolio.
But firstly, an introduction for the unfamiliar.
My name is Kat and I am thirty years old. That said, I am neither young nor old, and I'm still figuring out how to be a proper adult. You probably know what I mean. If not, you're either much younger than I am, or you've already figured out this whole adulting business that many others like myself have not. In any case, I'm glad you're here. I have plenty of stories to tell: some cheery, others bleak, many probably mundane.
Heartbreak and romantic disappointments propelled me towards art.
Over the years, I've become interested in many different things, and I hope to write about them on this blog. After graduating from college, I started teaching English, which is still what I mainly do for a living until now. Heartbreak and romantic disappointments propelled me towards art and thanks to that, I have also been fortunate enough to work as an artist, hence the mention of a portfolio.
This year, I purchased a journal called The Sunday Night Journal, created by life and career coach Aurora M. Suarez. Its pages contain a space for self-reflection with a different prompt weekly, as well as small sections for planning for the week ahead and for looking back on what went well and what can be improved from the previous. For a few weeks, I religiously wrote in the journal—still high from the New Year, perhaps—until my weekends got busier that I forgot to write Sunday after Sunday after Sunday.
In a way, that is also the reason why I decided to start this blog. Journaling has helped immensely when I was at my lowest. I could even say it saved me, along with art. Writing has always helped me process my thoughts better and, consequently, gain a greater understanding of myself.
By definition, to blossom is to mature in a promising way.
The first prompt in the journal involves intention setting by selecting a word for one's intent this year. My word is blossom. I want to focus on growth, but blossoming is so much more than just growing. By definition, to blossom is to mature in a promising way.
I turned thirty earlier this month. Back in my teens I thought by the time I'd reached this age, I would have had everything all figured out. I'd be married to the love of my life and we'd maybe have a couple of beautiful kids. I'd have a great job that I'm passionate about and plenty of money to live comfortably in the city, and then some. Needless to say, I don't have any of that yet. I've been writing about my struggles with growing up for years, but here I am, still grappling with it. Don't get me wrong—this isn't a complaint. I believe in the beauty and value of struggle, in how it teaches and instills strength and resilience. Blossoming necessitates struggle.
What exactly it is I'm struggling with and how I cope are what Katharsis will mostly revolve around, I suppose, along with a plethora of posts on my varied interests. Initially, the blog title was Katastrophe, but my dad didn't think it was a good idea to call my blog that. Come to think of it, it's sort of foreboding, isn't it? Wouldn't want to jinx a brand new blog! Besides, I've used Katharsis in a previous blog anyway, and catharsis is partly what this is for.
In any case, I'm glad you found my little space on the internet. Here's hoping you stick around long enough to see the flowers grow.
Love and light.

Twelve By Twelve
A One-Room Cabin Off The Grid & Beyond The American Dream
by William Powers
Why would a successful american physician choose to live in a twelve-foot-by-twelve-foot cabin without running water or electricity? To find out, writer and activist Willam Powers visited Dr. Jackie Benton in rural North Carolina. No Name Creek gurgled through Benton's permaculture farm, and she stroked honeybees' wings as she shared her wildcrafter philosophy of living on a planet in crisis. Powers, just back from a decade of international aid work, then accepted Benton's offer to stay at the cabin for a season while she traveled. There, he befriended her eclectic neighbors - organic farmers, biofuel brewers, eco-developers - and discovered a sustainable but imperiled way of life.

A visit to Chicago is never the same twice. The weather changes, the skyline changes and the lake is in constant motion. Chicago is a study in contrasts, from the 29 miles of lakefront parks, to the hustle and bustle of the "Loop", the business and financial center of the Midwest.
During your free time, world class exhibitions can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago and The Museum of Contemporary Art. The Field Museum of Natural History is the home of "Sue", the largest T-Rex found in history. Architectural tours led by the Chicago Architecture Foundation are as varied as the architecture itself. You can take a river cruise which highlights the mix of 19th & 20th century buildings visible in the striking Chicago skyline, or join a walking tour for a more in-depth look at how the city's architecture was shaped by the 1871 fire which swept the downtown area.
The much beloved Water Tower, which was spared during the great fire, anchors the shopping area on the north end of Michigan Avenue, otherwise known as "The Magnificent Mile". You will find Chicago retail favorites along with world renown shops such as Tiffany & Co. and Gucci. A short walk from your hotel is the Nordstrom department store. You're sure to find something for everyone on your shopping list.
Theater productions abound within the city, from original productions at Steppenwolf Theater to Broadway productions at many theaters in the loop. You may prefer to sample comedy at "Second City", the famous comedy club, which bred such favorites as John Belushi and Bill Murray. For Saturday Night Live fans, a trip to Chicago is not complete without a visit to Billy Goat Tavern, for "no fries chips". The perfect way to wind down a busy day is a trip to a local blues club such as Blue Chicago or Buddy Guy's Legends where you will hear the sounds that Chicago is famous for.

Even if you are a native English speaker and have a decent grasp of the language, it doesn't mean you know the slang, which is constantly changing and harder to keep a grasp on. Especially these days, with the internet and the way web jargon is always coming and going.
Anyone who wants to keep up with the times will need a little bit of help. So where do you go to get it? I would suggest a slang dictionary, and there are quite a few around the net that you can use. These are the five that I consider the best, and you may have even used yourself in the past.
1. Urban Dictionary
Of course, Urban Dictionary is always going to be the first port of call. User contributed definitions are added to different words (or suggested words), which can then be voted on by other users. If they disagree or want to give a different definition to the same word, that can be added and voted on, as well. You are able to give examples to put the term into context. I would say this is the most popular slang site on the web. They even have video definitions now, which can be incredibly funny to watch.
2. Internet Slang
What if you aren't looking for a word definition, but a breakdown of an acronym that you have seen posted somewhere like a social networking site? This can be frustrating, because anything is able to be broken down into an abbreviation of some sort. But only some of them are considered 'official' and are likely to be widely known across the web. Get past that by checking out the meaning on this site. You can browse by starting letter, search one out, see what is trending now or just learn random ones.
3. Word Spy
Created by Paul McFedries, this is a collection of buzz words being created all over the world, both online and in real life, every day. Not only does he offer the word and the meaning, but he lets you know where it originally came from so you have the full context it was first used in. Very interesting for word lovers that like to know where their words originated. You can see the archives by the first letter, check out recent posts or search. I like keeping an eye on the front page, and visit a few times a week to see if anything interesting has been added. This is a definite RSS subscription must.
4. The Rap Dictionary
This is a helpful wiki style dictionary for people who know something about rap to educate those who don't. From the artists themselves to terminology used in mainstream and underground hip hop styles alike, you can find it here. It is still a growing site in comparison to other wikis, but they have more than 8,000 content pages so far. Not a bad start!
5. Twittonary
Oh, Twitter…you are like a world onto yourself. Between hashtags and status updates themselves, it is easy for even the most obsessed tweeter to get confused by some of the buzz words showing up on the site. This is a compendium of those terms. Search by letter or keyword, and submit a word if you want to. It isn't that extensive yet, but I have found a fair number of good descriptions within. It is worth adding to the guide, as well.
Do you know of any dictionaries that deal primarily in slang or internet terminology? We would love to hear about it. Leave us a comment and let us know which dictionaries you prefer to use.

What recruiters look for in a candidate during an interview
Congratulation if you're reading this because you got called for an interview or you're reading this piece to prepare yourself for what's ahead, you have done well. The interview is the second stage and most often the final stage of a recruitment process. Many have tried to reach this stage but for one thing or the other they could not – once again, I say congratulation. But take heed! This stage had been the doom of many naïve job seekers. To write and submit a Resume/CV is never a problem; you can hire an expert to do that but the next stage demands your totality and one mistake can prove fatal.
Recruiters are dynamically conscious of everything around them during mining
Now read carefully, this information is something you won't get to read every day. In the world of recruiting, there is something called Mining; no recruiter or hiring managers will tell you about this. Once you are called for an interview, the recruiter wants to mine you for necessary information. What recruiters look for in a candidate during an interview can be gotten through three mining phases;
- Internal Mining
- External Mining
- Interexter Mining
An interview can be defined as the process of mining a candidate for necessary data to ascertain job compatibility. There are so many things a recruiter would want from a candidate and this can only be achieved through mining.
External Mining: This mining phase extract necessary data from applicant through observation with or without interviewer contributory factors.
- Punctuality Mining: Time is everything. The fact that you've been called up for an interview, means a time has been created out of a busy schedule for you – and you dare not be late. If they are not watching your arrival through a camera, front desk officer, then, you should expect to fill a logbook which indicates the time of arrival. You'd be lucky if punctuality mining is not available. Lateness is no excuse. Recruiters want a candidate who keeps to time.
- Appearance Mining: There are no rich kid, poor kid appearance during an interview. You ought to look good – good enough for work. During this mining phase, there is a period called Quick Scan. A period you may never notice and with just a blink, this phase is over. Even if you do not have a suit or nice outfit, go borrow or buy one. Get a nice haircut and shave; For the ladies, a nice hairstyle will do the trick – avoid afro; Avoid sunglasses; Put on a sucks – white or black (men). First appearance impression is a hard knot.
- Mining for Boldness: Eye contact is the key to conquer the mining phase. An experienced recruiter can tell between timidly and boldness. Throughout the interview process, recruiters expect boldness from candidates.
- Communication Mining: A third party may have been involved when you were preparing your Resume/CV but during an interview, you are on your own. Communication plays a vital role for the survival of any industry and recruiters would not bend to any qualification coercion if you fail in this mining phase. Communication mining runs deep. Your grammatical and facial expression, body movement synchronization are monitored. Recruiters expect a candidate to be able to communicate in the required language.
Now you know what recruiters expect from a candidate/applicant through External mining
Internal Mining: This mining phase extract necessary data from candidate/applicant through questioning.
Mine by Probe: You will not be called for an interview except your data meet the required qualification for a job position but those data can be manipulated or faked. The essence of interview questions is to;
- Compare you with other qualified candidates
- Extract abstract information from the candidates in relation to the job offer
16 common interview questions all job seekers should know
- Can you tell us about yourself
- Why are you here
- How did you hear about us
- What do you know about the company
- Why do you want this job
- Tell us about your previous experience in relation to this offer
- Tell us about a challenge you've faced at work and how you dealt with it
- What do you consider to be your weakness
- How do you deal with pressure
- Why are you leaving your current job
- Where do you see yourself in 10 years
- What do you like to do outside work environment
- Why should we hire you
- Would you accept relocation
- What are your salary requirements
- Do you have any questions
Take your time when answering these questions and maintain eye contact… Don't forget to switch off your phone and do not interrupt the interviewer for any good reason – that may be your doom.
Interexter mining – With the advent of technology, internet and the social media, candidate social life and thought-life can be looked into for any discrepancy. It is expected that graduate whether employed or unemployed would have some form of social media presence on Facebook or Linkedin, Twitter, GitHub, Google plus and the likes… Any Recruiters having hard times in making a decision especially when two candidates weight the same. That is their qualifications meet the job requirement may result in investigating the life of the candidates through their online social life and contributions. Recruiters hiring for the position of a programmer or other computer related jobs, often visit Github, stack flow etc to see relevant contribution candidates had made.
Interexter mining can also make use of the reference you provided. Recruiters do all the background profiling by asking your reference series of questions in relation to the job offer.
In conclusion, recruiters needs may differ, but they all use the same process of mining to get what they want from candidates.

For their entire lives – that's almost three years in one case – both of my daughters have been home with me and have seen relatively few strangers. In consequence, they've both been wary, afraid, or shy when unknown or forgotten people are around.
In recent weeks these symptoms, in both girls, have been declining. Elspeth has been speaking to cashiers in shops; Evelyn has allowed herself to be held by others for longer periods of time.
But last night, with the visit of our friend Andrew, I think their transformation is complete! Rather than shyness, Elspeth displayed excitement and had lots of fun and games with him. Rather than screams, Evelyn was full of smiles for our tallest friend.
It's great to see, and it alleviates a concern I'd had that my children would be poorly socialised and unprepared for things like kindergarten, school, and extracurricular activities. I'm now confident that, one way or another, they will be fine. I'm considering enrolling Elspeth into childrens' dance classes soon, and I'm sure she'll love it!

2017 has already been one of the biggest years for Apple as it is the 10th year that the iPhone has been out. There have already been a few big releases from Apple such as the MacBook Pro. See more information.
But, the most exciting thing is the possible release of two different phones. It is likely that the two editions will each have two different versions.

|Wikisource:WikiProject DNB Cleanup
There are quite a number of issues to look at.
There are articles that are headers alone: see Category:DNB Add text. There are also articles to be found in Category:Incomplete texts without a source and/or linking to Template:Incomplete.
For particularly bad text in pagespace, apply Category:Problematic DNB pages, text.
Category:Problematic DNB pages, djvu is the subcategory to populate where the djvu is illegible or distorted, or otherwise corrupt or obscured. So far Category:Problematic has mainly been used.
Pages will in some cases need to be moved, as the Style Manual is hammered out. The volume ToCs use disparate conventions right now, also.
Any DNB00 article should be linked from two pages (Author page and volume ToC), and from the previous and next article. Magnus's tool shows up various types of issues with the Author page link. One of those is where the author template {{DNB XYZ}} links to a redirect to the Author page; this can be fixed once-and-for-all by an edit in the Template page.
There are still perhaps a few older pages where the "wikipedia" header field is deliberately blocked; remove whatever placeholder is there so that the page can be placed automatically into Category:DNB No WP.

Celebrating the Festival of Sleep Day
Honestly, I feel exhausted after all these holiday parties, family meetings, baking, shopping, and decorating. Thanks God, we have the Festival of Sleep Day when people may allow themselves to take rest and catch up on sleep. So, on the 3-d of January, be ready to take part in this bizarre holiday.
What is Sleep Day?
From now on, Sleep Day is my favorite holiday. After spending long days planning and arranging holiday parties, the 3-d of January is the day when we all can finally take a deep breath and spend time whatever we want. Considering the fact that the festival is held on the beginning of the year, we can also recharge and accumulate energy for all the plans we wish to implement.
How to celebrate the festival of Sleep Day?
The celebration scheme is very easy: just turn off your alarm clock and let your body decide when to wake up. Although I do not recommend spending the whole day asleep, having a 8-9 hours nap is essential on this holiday. It is also not necessary to get up from your bed on the 3-d of January. Is the day when you may watch a movie in bed or cuddle up with your partner. Enjoying your favorite meals in bed is another advantage of the festival. So, prepare beforehand and buy yourself many tasty snacks.
Today, no one will be surprised if I say that healthy sleep is important to maintain a healthy body and mind. In fact, the recent investigation has only proved this well-known fact. So, do not hesitate to spend 24 hours lying in bed on Sleep Day. All in all, it is the day when you take care of your health!

Richard Pope, winner of the Londonist Local Elections competition arrived at Westminster yesterday to collect his prize - a House of Commons watch!
Richard's winning entry on the local elections in Lambeth was accompanied by a website - Election Memory - an online forum for Lambeth residents to discuss election matters, and to empower themselves when it came to polling day last week.
Richard and the election memory team are applying for grants to take the scheme wider, and, if successful, could possibly have in place a similar idea for the whole of London at the next set of elections. Londonist salutes you, Richard, and the rest of the team over at electionmemory.com for the essential part they played in promoting democracy. Congratulations, and the watch was well deserved!

Taste of Buffalo presented by TOPS donates $5,000 to Local Office of National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
Oct. 23, 2017, BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Taste of Buffalo presented by TOPS announced today that the organization donated $5,000 to the New York regional office of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC/NY). A check was presented at NCMEC/NY's annual DISH IT OUT fundraising event on October 20 at Salvatore's Italian Gardens. This donation was made possible thanks to purchases made by Taste festival-goers at the event last July, and it will help to fund critical services for families in Western New York.
Each year, the Taste allocates funds for the outgoing chair to support the local community through a donation to the charity of their choice and 2017 Taste of Buffalo Chair Ralph Basile selected NCMEC/NY. In addition to the chair's donation, NCMEC/NY also partnered with the Taste to staff a beverage booth with volunteers at the 2017 event, an opportunity that the Taste offers to select charities and non-profit groups in exchange for a small stipend.
"The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children works to keep children safe and provides important assistance to victims and their families right here in our community. Their mission is close to my heart and I'm honored to support them through the Taste of Buffalo – another community-focused organization that means the world to me," said Basile. "Being able to present this donation at DISH IT OUT, NCMEC/NY's signature gourmet celebrity chef competition, is a perfect fit for the Taste and our passion for Buffalo's amazing local food scene."
With a satellite office in Buffalo, NCMEC/NY provides technical assistance to families, law enforcement, attorneys, and other professionals concerning missing and exploited children cases.
"Taste of Buffalo has been part of our community for over 30 years, and its family-friendly and socially responsible mission especially resonates with us," said Kathy Gust, program director for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's Buffalo office. "Our branch, which is 100 percent reliant on grants and private donations, will put Taste of Buffalo's generous gift toward underwriting the local education and outreach efforts that help us to find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization."
The Taste of Buffalo presented by Tops is the nation's largest two-day food festival, attracting more than 450,000 visitors each year. The 35th annual Taste will take place on July 7 and 8, 2018 along Delaware Avenue in downtown Buffalo. The Taste is a not-for-profit organization with more than 1,000 volunteers helping to put on the annual event. Approximately $390,000 has been raised at the festival for local charities in addition to five $1,000 scholarships awarded annually to local high school seniors pursuing a culinary or hospitality-related degree. For more information, visit tasteofbuffalo.com, and find us on Facebook , Twitter and Instagram.

We have just released our white paper on the future of distribution, in which we discuss the raft of new technologies heading our way. And, while the analysts we interviewed cautioned distributors not to take their eye off the day-to-day ball (as if we would!), the innovation coming through could be game changing. Which, for the world of distribution, cements our place in the supply chain.
Technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR) and deep analytics from big data are piquing the interest of businesses already. And, while we've yet to see any major adoption, this will only be a matter of time. The vendors are already launching products – CES was awash with VR this year – and as Apple has demonstrated, consumer desire often translates into business requirement.
Vendors need to reach new markets with this technology. For example, with VR devices such as Oculus Rift, there are myriad applications that are way beyond just a consumer element, and this could also be a huge opportunity for distribution. On the commercial side, from healthcare to education, car sales to real estate, the possibilities of VR in a business-to-business setting are endless, as indeed the vendors are aware.
And that is where localised distribution can add value and provide the support that vendors need in order to help this range of innovative technology gain traction. As regional players, focused on the key channels in each market, we understand our VARs, we know the specialist retailers and e-tailers that are going to understand the right audience for this technology, and we know how to help those resellers sell it.
By joining together under a united organisation such as the Technology Channels Alliance (TCA) we can ensure that our voice, together, is heard. With our ability to reach new markets for new technology, we can ensure vendors understand the requirements for our regions, and support us and our resellers in the most effective way. Working together, we can develop new sales techniques, new services to wrap around and new marketing activities to help our reseller customers sell this new technology.
But, this isn't just about vendor support. This is also about reassurance for our customers. Being a member of the TCA should give a reseller confidence that we are their regional distributor, we understand their sector, market and region, and that we treat each VAR as an individual, not just another sale. The TCA membership is a sign of quality – a sign that we will help them to find the right solution for their customer, whether that's desktops today or VR tomorrow.

It is a transient intimacy with truth, when the layers of life are exposed, revealed in a completed majesty. It is a fleeting experience, a halt in existence that our temporal selves cannot maintain. It arrives unexpectedly, when looking at the face of a child, an old person's hands, an animal's tenderness to another outside of its kind.

Often it is the curve of a line in one corner of painting that is otherwise unremarkable. Always it is the light in the eyes of the woman I have loved for forty years. It is too easy to get lost in big ambitions that lead you away from beauty.

It is a sense of peace. It is feeling my hair getting messed up in the wind at the beach. It is the sputtering of raindrops on a sunny day. It is the crackling of a fire. It is being at the zoo wrapped in the magnificence of animals whose spirits are entwined with mine. It is the childish delight of snowflakes on my tongue.

Beauty is getting out of bed every morning in a sun-speckled house smells of bacon, coffee that laces with whisky and a social strategy around my laptop that fends off a fur-shedding dog, busy-fingered children and a wryly pragmatic husband.

Words are simultaneously a passageway to the soul within and an escape plan to things far bigger than any of us combined. Words have been known to spark revolutions of all kinds; doesn't matter if a revolution in question is a mere ripple on the water.

All that I really understand about the nature of beauty is that it is somehow bound up with time. When we witness something that overwhelms our senses with its beauty, we are briefly anchored in the present moment…

Beauty lies in the process of creation; it is a flux, a constant quest for self-recreation as we project our versions of memory and aesthetic emotions on canvas or paper with a brush or a pen. Our perception of beauty is subjective but becomes more meaningful once shared, and once shared, it doesn't belong to us anymore, the way a finished poem no longer pertains to its author.
Oct 25, 2016
Our relationship with beauty can also lie beyond form. Form is impermanent, and though there is beauty in form, it is through form that we get to understand that which lies beyond form. To me, beauty is this essence, as well as impermanence.

Without our consent, the words we read resound in our heads. A moment comes when that inner sound—rhythm, cadence, alliteration, long and short vowels—rings perfectly true and wrings meaning from the words. Then the book feels light in our hands. We rise on an incoming tide.

As a bookseller, I enjoy watching readers overturn myths about poetry, beginning with the misconception that poetry somehow belongs to a select few. It belongs to everyman, and everyman's buying poetry that, through beauty, connects our inner worlds.

All beauty's born of pain. Nothing strides into the grace of form without labor. And still, when words and limbs are tightly tuned, who remarks the ground over which they glide?
Oct 22, 2016
I feel a reservoir of joy well up when seeing momentary glimpses of beauty. It happens, too, when looking at someone I love. I also find huge pleasure in small, handmade treasures, a box covered in marbleized Italian paper or an exquisite letterpress card.
Oct 21, 2016
I find it beautiful when I can still turn my attention/inspiration elsewhere, be free to share and celebrate what is bliss in the world, or what is gentleness; what is itself so much according to the nature of its essence as to release us, remind us of, as, Anne Sexton wrote, the birds making sense of air.
Oct 21, 2016
We depend on poetry's existence even if we don't often encounter it, just as we should depend on the existence of natural wilderness even if we are never able to visit it in person. Its mere presence suffices to make us aware that life and the world are not all mundane, and can be viewed in a special lens when we need an extra push of the soul.

The mental worlds I create are inclusive in the sense that the reader is free to participate in the imaginings – I leave enough gaps in the poems for participation, and it is in the reader's creative participation that beauty (real enough to be true) is born.

…and there it is: the beauty. it is not in the spinning, dizzying maze; the tea leaves are ineffectual against ephemera (everything lives in fragments). but there it is: the beauty. the beauty, which is seldom found in the translation, but rather in the wanting to know how.

When I lived in Manhattan, I found West 10th Street beautiful. Now, in rural Tennessee, I get as much pleasure from the belted Galloway cattle. Much of beauty seems to depend on what you get to see, on what is around you.
Oct 17, 2016
Beauty is, perhaps, the supreme liminal space: the point of contact between who we used to be and who we could become; between profane and sacred, temporal and eternal, human and divine. Of the myriad ways to live out this calling, I have come to understand my own path as an aesthetic of joy, where is joy understood as something deeper and broader than mere pleasure, independent of temporary fulfillments.

My poem "Leaves of Words" is a homage to urban beauty, to the unexpected and spectral, the extravagance of the everyday. It's also a nod to the president of our Brooklyn poetry past, Walt Whitman…

These are the things I contemplated as I walked among the peacocks at the Museo Dolores Olmeda estate grounds in Mexico City, taking pictures. I was surrounded by unspeakable beauty, by the kind of bird who coyly looked me in the eye and then spread out his fan of a tail for me in all its glory.

I feel beauty when I write, when I wear what I want, when I scream at the top of my lungs because I will not be silenced. I see beauty in others when they do the same. Beauty is letting yourself exist.

Beauty is not the image itself, but the ecstasy we feel when we close our eyes and imagine our connection to the image.

As best and often as I can, I try slow my breath and pause my mind and immerse myself in the beauty that sits in the small moments so otherwise easily missed.

In Buddhism texts, there's often a reference to the beauty of nature—the trees, the flowers, the mountains, and the animals. The lotus, which is often seen in Buddhist realms, is one of the most beautiful flowers. The way it grows in the mud and erupts into a spectacular living thing is phenomenal.

One way to think about poetry's relationship to beauty is that poetry pays homage to the loss of the original experience but concentrates something of its essence through a transfiguration. It is a way of keeping the sun in a jar.

There's always more to do. But just a couple little things. And we do each small thing with gratitude and joy. Every day.

What I hope to achieve with my readers is a moment where our minds meet in that mysterious realm where beauty lies, and a spark of recognition yields a subterranean clarity, a sharpening of the senses and a softening of the heart.

If I were young again, I'd sing of coolness of high mountain snow flowers, sprinkle of night glow-blue meadows; I would dream and stretch slim fingers into distant nowhere, yawn slowly over endless prairie miles.

Stendhal wrote, beauty is "the promise of happiness." Thus beauty is conjectural, enigmatic, a stand-in for longing — that delectable neurosis. I would tell you its impact on or relation to my poetry, but then I would have to live up to my delusion.

Separate yourself, take your distance, act as though you are not playing, as though you are not even hearing yourself. The error consists in believing that one is doing what one is doing when doing it. Above all, don't attempt to attain silence or empty space. That is a pose. On the contrary, play as if you were in the middle of the street, at the heart of the racket…

When I experience great beauty a part of me is out on a precipice, as when you look down from a very high cliff and even though you are perfectly safe your heart still races.

When framing nature, I like using the muted light, which follows a storm, or which becomes available at dawn and dusk. Beyond that attention to a setting's relative brightness and contrast, I try to work with whatever's at hand.

… Beauty is the back door with white spider webs in the corners I open and see the sun over that high grass and I am only three and lift my arms to that warm light thinking that's where I came from. Beauty is a face in a shroud in a cloud in a crowded market, a deaf-mute handing me a pamphlet that says Blessed are the Thankful as I'm picking out an avocado.
Oct 5, 2016
Beauty works up desire. Looking down an aspen valley in color from a mountain pass, one cannot hope to possess what they see, but they are compelled to return. When a poem lets beauty in at the eye–like love in the Yeats's Drinking Song–or by the ear, the perceiver gains the pleasure of wonder that slowly sweeps through them, ever elusive.

Angelov, Plamen (2001) Supplementary Crossover Operator for Genetic Algorithms based on the Center-of-Gravity Paradigm. Control and Cybernetics, 30 (2). pp. 159-176. ISSN 0324-8569Full text not available from this repository.
A supplementary crossover operator for genetic algorithms (GA) is proposed in the paper. It performs specific breeding between the two fittest parental chromosomes. The new child chromosome is based on the center of gravity (CoG) paradigm, taking into account both the parental weight (measured by their fitness) and their actual value. It is designed to be used in combination with other crossover and mutation operators (it applies to the best fitted two parental chromosomes only) both in binary and real-valued (evolutionary) GA. Analytical proof of its ability to improve the result is provided for the simplest case of one variable and when elitist selection strategy is used. The new operator is validated with a number of usually used numerical test functions as well as with a practical example of supply air temperature and flow rate scheduling in a hollow core ventilated slab thermal storage system. The tests indicate that it improves results (the speed of convergence as well as the final result) without significant increasing computational expenses. (c) Control and Cybernetics

text: Israel Is Airbnb Violating Texas' Ban On Doing Business With Companies That Boycott Israel? By Alexandra Hart • Mar 6, 2019 EFFIE YANG/Flickr (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) From Texas Standard: As we reported several months ago, Texas has a policy that makes it illegal for state government entities to contract with companies that boycott Israel. A speech pathologist in Pflugerville ran afoul of the law because she refused to sign a pledge not to boycott Israel. Now, short-term rental company Airbnb has run into a similar conflict with the state's law. Ken Paxton Says Texas Has The Right To 'Boycott Boycotters' Of Israel By Andrew Weber | KUT • Jan 16, 2019 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon / KUT Attorney General Ken Paxton doubled-down on a Texas law that bans state contractors from boycotting Israel in a court filing yesterday. Texas Faces Another Federal Lawsuit Over Law Banning Contractors From Boycotting Israel By Andrew Weber | KUT • Dec 18, 2018 Todd Wiseman / Texas Tribune Days after a federal lawsuit was filed in Pflugerville, Texas faces another suit over its 2017 law requiring contractors to pledge they won't boycott Israel – this time from the American Civil Liberties Union. Contractor Sues Pflugerville ISD Over State Law Requiring Pledge To Not Boycott Israel By Andrew Weber | KUT • Dec 17, 2018 Todd Wiseman / Texas Tribune A Round Rock-based speech pathologist is suing the Pflugerville Independent School District over a 2017 state law that required her to pledge allegiance to Israel, which, she argues, violates her First Amendment right to free speech. 55 Palestinian Protesters Killed, Gaza Officials Say, As U.S. Opens Jerusalem Embassy By Bill Chappell | NPR • May 14, 2018 Updated at 3 p.m. ET Tens of thousands of Palestinians are protesting the opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and Israeli army forces have killed 55 protesters, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The ministry also says some 2,770 people have been hurt in demonstrations and clashes. Security Tab For Top Officials' Israeli Visits Tops $150,000 By Jill Ament • Dec 27, 2017 Courtesy Office of the Attorney General From Texas Standard. Israel has long been a focal point in international policy for Texas Republican lawmakers. Several current Texas officials have traveled to the country. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick even got baptized in the Jordan River. But Peggy Fikac, Austin bureau chief for the San Antonio Express News, reports that some aspects of these trips have come with hefty price tags for the state's taxpayers. Sid Miller's Trade Deal With Israel Settlers Was Designed To Provoke By Michael Marks, Texas Standard • Mar 30, 2017 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon/KUT News From Texas Standard: Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller announced a trade agreement Wednesday between the state and a group of settlers on the West Bank of Israel. Neither the U.S. government nor the United Nations recognizes the settlements. Trump Holds News Conference With Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu By NPR Staff • Feb 15, 2017 President Trump is hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. The two are holding a joint press conference amid differing messages emanating from the Trump administration about its stance on the two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Despite Sanctions Lift, Greg Abbott Wants to Stop Texas Trade with Iran By Rhonda Fanning • Jan 19, 2016 Image via Twitter/GregAbbott_TX From Texas Standard: Gov. Greg Abbott is on his third official international trip since being sworn in last January. Yesterday in Jerusalem, the Governor met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Last week Abbott said the purpose of the upcoming meeting was to promote business ties abroad. However, since news broke over the weekend of the U.S. prisoner swap and an end to sanctions against Iran, Monday's meeting seemed more like a political trip. That's left some scratching their heads, and others nodding in approval. Listen Listening... / 4:58 How 'Thirteen Days in September' Shows Middle East Peace is Still Possible By David Brown & Sarah Talaat • Oct 20, 2014 U.S. Government Recent world events seem so complicated – and perhaps intractable – that some citizens may reel from a sense of hopelessness. But maybe our collective memory fails us – it's easy to forget how much the world can change in just a matter of days. In less than two weeks in 1978, a world-changing event not only ended one of the most bitter conflict in modern history (or at least a part of it), with effects that endure to this day. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lawrence Wright speaks with Texas Standard's David Brown about his new book, "Thirteen Days in September: Carter, Begin and Sadat at Camp David," a detailed account of the Camp David accords between Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the agreement brought peace between Egypt and Israel. In Perspective: Is the Israeli-Palestinian Cease-Fire a Calm Before Another Storm? By Rebecca McInroy & Morgan Blue • Sep 17, 2014 This summer's escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has come to a relative stand-still with both sides currently holding to the cease-fire signed late last month. But many say the conflict is far from resolution. In its inaugural episode, "In Perspective" invites subject matter experts from UT-Austin, New York University, and Rice University to discuss the conflict, its future and its impact on Israeli and Palestinian cultures with KUT's Rebecca McInroy. Gaza Conflict: Cease-Fire Holds As Kerry Calls For Fresh Peace Talks After nearly a month of brutal war, Gaza was calm for a second day on Wednesday. And as that negotiated, three-day peace took hold, diplomacy stepped front and center. In an interview with the BBC, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said both sides should take advantage of this moment to forge a longer-lasting peace. Kerry said the U.S. supports Palestinians' desire to rebuild and open up borders, but that will happen only under a "bigger, broader approach to the underlying solution of two states." As Truce Takes Effect, Israel Withdraws Troops From Gaza After nearly a month of fighting, a negotiated, three-day peace has taken hold in Gaza. As NPR's Emily Harris reports, Israel has also ordered all of its troops out of Gaza. But this may not mean the end of the current conflict, because the Israel Defense Forces said its troops would maintain a defensive position and respond to any attacks. Case in point: By morning just before the truce started, Emily said she heard rocket fire out of Gaza. But things have calmed down and the AP reports that in Gaza "traffic picked up and shops started opening doors." Gaza Conflict: Israel Begins Redeploying Troops There are some signs that the current conflict in Gaza is de-escalating: As the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports, the Israel Defense Forces have started pulling their troops out of Gaza and "stationing the remaining soldiers on hills on the Palestinian side of the border with Israel." U.S. 'Appalled' By Deadly Airstrike Outside U.N. School In Gaza By Bill Chappell | NPR • Aug 3, 2014 An Israeli airstrike outside a U.N.-run school in Gaza killed at least 10 people Sunday, Palestinian health officials say.

Condemn Attack Gaza Update: Netanyahu Hails Military's Success; IDF Declares Soldier Dead By Bill Chappell | NPR • Aug 2, 2014 A day after they were to begin a cease-fire, Israel and Hamas are still firing at one another, in a conflict that has killed at least 1,650 Gazans, 63 Israeli soldiers and 3 Israeli civilians, according to tallies from the respective sides. Those numbers surpass the estimated fatalities from the last major Gaza conflict, which raged for around three weeks from 2008-2009. Fighting Resumes In Gaza, As Israeli Military Says Cease-Fire Is Over It was negotiated as a three-day humanitarian cease-fire that was to start at 8 a.m. local time today. But just hours in, fighting erupted again in Gaza. Palestinian authorities told The Associated Press that at least 27 people were killed in Gaza after an Israeli tank opened fire. NPR's Emily Harris reports that Israel accused Hamas of continuing its rocket fire. Israel Allowed To Tap U.S. Munitions Cache For Gaza Offensive By Scott Neuman • Jul 31, 2014 Updated at 5:20 p.m. ET. The Pentagon has confirmed that Israel was given permission last week to dip into a little-known U.S. munitions stockpile to draw tank shells and illumination rounds for its ongoing offensive in the Gaza Strip. NPR's Tom Bowman reports that the billion-dollar U.S. "emergency" stockpile, based on Israeli soil, was established in the 1980s as part of an agreement of expanded cooperation between the two nations. Conflict In Gaza: What You Need To Know Today Perhaps signaling a widening of its offensive in Gaza, Israel called up 16,000 reservists on Thursday. That means Israel has activated 86,000 reservists since the conflict started. Gaza Conflict: Shell Strikes U.N. School, Killing Up To 19 Who Sought Shelter (This post was last updated at 3:04 p.m. ET.) As many as 19 people were killed when a shell struck a United Nations-run school this morning in Gaza. In a message on Twitter, the commissioner-general of UNRWA, which is responsible for the welfare of Palestinian refugees, blamed the attack on the Israeli military. Netanyahu: Israel Is Prepared For 'Long Operation' In Gaza Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday dismissed international calls for an immediate cease-fire in the country's conflict with Hamas in Gaza. "We need to be prepared for a long operation until our mission is accomplished," Netanyahu said in televised remarks. He defined that mission the same way Israeli officials have since launching a ground offensive in Gaza: taking out the tunnels Hamas uses to infiltrate Israel. Conflict In Gaza: Here's What You Need To Know Today (This post was last updated at 6:30 p.m. ET.) In a resolution overnight, the United Nations Security Council called for an "immediate and unconditional" cease-fire in Gaza. As USA Today reports, the Security Council called on both Israel and Hamas "to accept and fully implement the humanitarian cease-fire into the Eid period and beyond." Kerry: Gaza Truce Still In Play Updated at 5:20 p.m. ET. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called reports that Israel's government had rejected a U.S. truce in Gaza "a mischievous leak" and said he's confident a deal can be reached. Referring to earlier reports by Israeli TV that a seven-day cease-fire had been unanimously rejected, Kerry, speaking at a news conference in Cairo, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had assured him that the report is "an error and inaccurate. Gaza Conflict: What To Know For Friday Updated at 5:35 p.m. ET. As the conflict between Israel and Gaza approaches the three-week mark, the fighting seems to have only intensified. At least 119 Palestinians were killed Thursday, making it the bloodiest day of the war. UT Students Stay in Israel Despite Ongoing Violence By Laura Rice & Audrey McGlinchy | KUT • Jul 24, 2014 flickr.com/raondo As the conflict between Israel and Palestine in Gaza continues, officials with the University of Texas International Office say they've been in close contact with graduate students and faculty conducting research in Israel. "None of our students are anywhere near the Gaza Strip or the West Bank," UT International Office risk analyst Erin Wolf says. Wolf says six graduate students and a handful of faculty are doing research projects in Israel and that in addition to providing academic support, local universities are also giving them direction. White House Adviser: Cease-Fire Should Include Demilitarization Of Gaza A top White House adviser says any cease-fire agreement between Israel and Palestinians must include the demilitarization of Gaza. In an interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep, Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken said "that needs to be the end result." "There has to be some way forward that does not involve Hamas having the ability to continue to rain down rockets on Israeli civilians," Blinken said. Asked if this means the U.S. has endorsed Israel's demand that Hamas give up its weapons, Blinken said: FAA Prohibits U.S. Airlines From Flying To Tel Aviv The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a 24-hour ban on flights to and from the Tel Aviv airport. "The notice was issued in response to a rocket strike which landed approximately one mile from Ben Gurion International Airport on the morning of July 22, 2014," the FAA said in a statement. A South Padre Man Dies in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict By Andrew Weber | KUT • Jul 21, 2014 David Buimovitch AFP/Getty Images This past weekend was the deadliest of the two-week-long combat operations in the Gaza Strip. Yesterday, 95 Palestinians were killed in fighting along with 13 soldiers fighting in the Israeli Defense Force, according to the Associated Press. One of those soldiers killed in the conflict was 21-year-old South Padre, Texas native Sean Carmeli. Carmeli moved to Israel four years ago after finishing high school and was a member of the country's elite Golani Brigade along with California native Max Steinberg, who also died in fighting on the Gaza Strip. Both held American-Israeli citizenship. In Effort To Forge Cease-Fire Between Israel And Hamas, Kerry Heads To Egypt U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is headed to Egypt today in an effort to broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. In a statement, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Kerry would meet with Egyptian and other senior officials. Israel Launches Ground Offensive In Gaza Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the army to send ground forces into Gaza Thursday night. "We are hearing reports that so far the operation has been concentrated in the north," reports NPR's Emily Harris, who is in Gaza. Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for Hamas, called the invasion "a dangerous step. "The occupation will pay its price expensively, and Hamas is ready for confrontation," he said in a statement.
