SJ Fowler is a poet, artist, and editor. His books include Red Museum (KF&S Press 2011), Fights (Veer Books 2011), Minimum Security Prison Dentistry (AAA Press 2011), The Rottweiler's Guide to the Dog Owner (Eyewear 2014), and {Enthusiasm} (Test Centre 2015).
He is also a curator of The Enemies Project and works as an editor at 3:AM magazine.
Hi Steven. Thanks for taking the time to chat. Congratulations on the publication of your latest collection {Enthusiasm} last year. Can you tell us a bit more about the book and how you feel it compares to The Rottweiler's Guide to the Dog Owner?
Hello, thanks to you for asking. I'll have to equivocate a fair bit, but generally speaking {Enthusiasm} is in one way quite a formalist book, in that it's trying to emphasise how much the meaning in poetry is a meeting of subject and object.
The reader has an enormous role to play in the meaning of a poem through their endless, idiosyncratic individual experience of language and its impossibly intricate potential in their minds and memories. I really wanted people to feel like they had to engage with their own subjective reading of each poem more forcefully, as the poems are pretty consistently, structurally and semantically, frenetic.
In another way, thematically, the book is about death, hence the beautiful cover that the publisher Test Centre sourced for it from the Wellcome archives. It's different from The Rottweiler's Guide…, not only because every book I publish is different from the last, which seems intuitive to me, but also because The Rottweiler's Guide… was more about love.
You're a poet who seems to thrive on working with others, as evidenced by your recent KFS publications House of Mouse and 1000 Proverbs. I'm curious if there were any differences in your working approach to these collaborations with Prudence Chamberlain and Tom Jenks, and do you feel that mixing up your process is vital to your poetry writing?
I do thrive upon working with others. I find it generative as a poet, but also it's a form of immediate pedagogy, and I think because I suspect myself to be principally anti-social and misanthropic, it's a way of continually leaving my comfort zone in order to continue growing as a human being.
The processes with Prue and Tom were different, as I would say every one of my collaborations has been, in that people inevitably vary in the ways they like to work, even in the speed of their replies to emails for example.
Tom and I fired off quick responses to each other, the nature of the work being one line pseudo-proverbs, while Prue and I wrote over a longer time, exchanging large chunks, meeting, editing and working on the material until it became one text where both of us had lost our initial input to the other. It is about circumstance as well as preference, often. Both are brilliant poets and I learned so much from having the chance to write with them.
I feel like my process evolving is something I aspire to, yes. I would like it to always be so. It has a negative effect in practical terms, as many people who might read or discover your work will not be able to put their finger on what it is you're doing as you lack one clear, consumable aesthetic or motivation. But that can be a benefit in many ways too, depending on what you're after.
Perhaps the best example of your collaborative spirit is your involvement with The Enemies Project, which has quickly grown into an international phenomenon. What for you have been the most memorable moments of the project and how do you hope it will develop in the future?
That's generous, thanks. It has been a pleasure to curate. The project has allowed me to discover, collaborate and learn from poets and artists I would never have met otherwise. It has also allowed me to promote many whose work has been considered too 'difficult' to be supported, which I'm proud of, and with the big Camarade events, where the atmosphere is so friendly and the work so intense, and the tours, where I've shared vans and trains with cohorts of writers all over the world, I feel like I've proven that groundbreaking literary and avant-garde work can be generated without snobbery, hierarchy and pomposity.
In terms of the future, I never want the project to have utopian goals – one can only end up disappointed – so I'm going event to event, making sure I still enjoy it, often responding to the ideas of my co-curators. Next year we'll have another six or seven international projects, European Poetry Night, the English PEN Modern Literature Festival, a cinema and poetry programme, stuff like that.
You also work in an editorial capacity for 3:AM magazine. Do you think the proliferation of online poetry magazines and digital platforms for contemporary poetry in recent years signals a sea change in how readers consume poetry, and what would your response be to crticics who argue that online content like this is ephemeral?
I think critics who might suggest that would be of a certain generation that don't spend most of their leisure time online, as almost everyone in the western world, under the age of forty, tends to do. I think this isn't really an issue of online magazines, but of the internet itself.
Profoundly undersold in the literary world, it isn't an alternative to the book, a 'platform' or whatever people say – it is a fundamental revolution in human culture, a global, unregulated communications mainframe, a nervous system for civilisation. The internet also happens to be made up of language, the same material as poetry.
I think it has changed poetry for the better. People already forget how much power some once had, just a few decades ago, by controlling what could be read and defining in that process what was supposedly, objectively, good. Ultimately it's not a question of how readers consume poetry but how poetry adapts to being, like almost everything else, swept up in the technological revolution.
I understand you have a new artpoem book coming out next year with Stranger Press too entitled I fear my best work behind me featuring illustrations, logograms, and asemic writing. Do you subscribe to the notion that breaking down semantics in this way is an exercise in examining and questioning what exactly constitutes a poem?
I do, and I'm excited about it. Stranger Press is a really good press to work with, Christopher Stephenson does a grand job. I fear my best work behind me is primarily illustrated artworks, brutalist, child-like, comical paintings or abstracts, each with their own handwritten poem built into the work.
Just the fact that the poems are handwritten, often in coloured ink, might, in some people's minds, make them visual art, rather than poetry. A lot of my work in this area is about my own curiosity. I can't resist the idea that if I do something as banal as handwrite a poem, rather than print it, in a book, its meaning will change to readers exponentially and be considered experimental.
Context is absolutely equal to content, and yet the common understanding or perception of poetry at the moment, in the UK at least, is entirely focused on the content. Generally we have the same book, paper, font, letter size, language etc. But on that page the white space has meaning, the place of the abstract marking we've ascribed meaning to, has import. The logical conclusion of this basic realisation, which permeates all other arts (think film-editing, material and composition in painting etc) is that the poet has the potential to interrogate the context of their language.
So the book explores how image affects language, how they are interconnected, dead space, handwriting and its own aesthetic meaning, and so on. This is old stuff, I know that. I'm deeply interested in poets like Henri Michaux or the CoBrA group, and I'm aware they covered this fifty years ago or more. But it's exciting to me and hopefully the book has more of a sense of humour than my answer.
Finally, can you tell us a little about the poem you've submitted to Poetry Spotlight?
This is from an upcoming collection called The Guide to Being Bear Aware, due out in 2017 with Shearsman Books. I've spent the last year or two really rereading poets for the first time, as I only started to read poetry in 2009. I had never looked at it before then. So I'm looping back and rediscovering the world poetry that actually brought me into the field in the first place – poets like Mayakovsky, Esenin, Herbert, Rozewicz, Cesaire, Ekelof, Seferis, Sachs…
It's meant my writing has taken on a more conversational tone, maybe a softer tone, accidentally, perhaps ironising the first person, rather than avoiding it as I have done in the past. It's also a book that's trying to reflect on the Anthropocene – our relationship to language, consciousness and animals.
The Tradition
This is how I lost the tournament with my face
-Zbigniew Herbert
The trouble with double vision
is that I lose it
right at the moment when it comes in handy.
As though it were friend
whom you remember is dead.
A strange profession, athlete,
where you are more than your work,
and more out of work than in.
Sadness moans
every time a ball is struck
or some other distraction takes place
in physical space.
Not exactly an arrest
but restraining.

As you will know, this week, 21 – 27 March is Climate Week. Around the country thousands of events and activities, highlighting the positive steps being taken to help combat climate change, are being planned by organisations from every sector for the UK's first Climate Week.
Backed by every part of society – from the Prime Minister to Paul McCartney, the NHS to the National Trust, Girlguiding UK to the CBI, the Big Lottery Fund to the National Association of Head Teachers, Climate Week is a chance for everyone to make changes, whether small or large that can have a positive long term effect on our environment.
Climate Week is sponsored by a Headline Partner – Tesco – and four Supporting Partners – Aviva, EDF Energy, Kelloggs and RBS.
With individuals pledging to reduce their energy consumption by switching off lights, walking to work and minimising their food waste there are lots of things that we can all do.
Now as the Queen of Easy Green, I am obviously all for easy eco ways in which we can all make a change, not only to our environment, but to our own pockets too. It is a subject I am very passionate about and hope through my own products and this site, I can help people make a positive change to their own lives. However, sometimes I feel that the green message can come across as being a little preachy and off-putting to some people, and I'm not the only one. I've found this great clip from David Mitchell, from 'Peep Show' fame, which I really think brings a little sense of humour to the whole subject, I hope you like it too.
Once you finished watching it, to find out more about Climate Week go to www.climateweek.com, email firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone on 020 3397 2601 and please do get involved.
With your small changes it may not feel like you're making any difference at all, but you are, it's like that old wives tale of the visitor, the village and the milk fountain, if we all work together and do our bit something fantastic will happen, if we rely on someone else to do it instead of us, nothing will change.
Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear your feedback.

I started with a recipe I found on Food.com. Once the pot pie filling was made I tasted it and I was pretty disappointed in how bland it tasted to me.
I decided that this recipe was just not going to cut it. It's nothing personal against it's creator I just needed more pazazz! Or as my Granny always said it really needed "doctoring up"! I looked through a ton of recipes to see what they were adding and I added a little of this and a little of that until I got potpie filling that actually has a great flavor! I made these pot pies in egg roll wrappers so they would turn out crisp with a gooey filling. To shape the pot pies I used cupcake pans. Excellent and fun!
- 1/2 cup potato, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup carrot, diced
- 1/4 cup melted margarine
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/16 teaspoon sage
- 1/8 teaspoon ground thyme
- ¼ teaspoon season salt
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped
- 1 package of egg roll wrappers
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sauté onion, celery, carrots and potatoes in margarine for 10 minutes.
- Add flour to sautéed mixture, stirring well, and cook one minute stirring constantly.
- Add broth, white wine, and half and half.
- Gradually stir into vegetable mixture.
- Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, sage, thyme, and season salt
- Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly.
- Add Chicken and stir well
- At this point I allowed the filling to cool and I refrigerated it overnight. This allowed all the spices to mingle and get happy. You can certainly skip this step. I was using this as a make ahead meal.
- If you are putting this together at a later time you will need to heat up your pie filling bringing it to a bubble
- Using a cupcake pan take individual egg roll wrappers and place them in each cup laid out one at a time and full each cup with 1/4 cup of mixture.
- Bring each egg roll wrapper corner to the middle and press together. They will seal up for the most park while they bake.
- When the are golden brown they are ready!!

OneAgent Operator
Rolling out Dynatrace full-stack monitoring to a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster using a DaemonSet is easy and straightforward. Managing the full lifecycle of OneAgent deployments can, however, become a bit cumbersome as there's no proper out-of-the-box lifecycle management available for Kubernetes DaemonSets that allows for easy OneAgent updates. In a typical scenario, the team responsible for Day 2 operations is responsible for keeping track of new OneAgent versions as they are introduced, taking care of rolling out the new versions and restarting all pods in order to pick up the updates.
In alignment with the automation mantra of the Kubernetes community, Dynatrace introduces Dynatrace OneAgent Operator.
What is an operator in Kubernetes?
Kubernetes version 1.7 introduced the concept of custom resources and controllers, which allow for extending the Kubernetes API. These extension capabilities enable the Kubernetes community to implement domain-specific applications as first-class Kubernetes objects in a cloud-native style. This means you can define the desired state of workloads in a declarative manner and create custom controller logic that takes continuous action to achieve and maintain the desired state.
An operator makes use of these capabilities and extends the Kubernetes API by utilizing this concept of custom resources and corresponding resource controllers. The term "operator" was coined by CoreOS and announced as a means to more efficiently and reliably manage the lifecycle of stateful applications.
RedHat and CoreOS refined this concept and evolved the idea to provide an Operator Framework (including an Operator SDK and Lifecycle Manager) to make the process of implementing operators as easy as possible.
Dynatrace OneAgent Operator for 'Day 2' operations
Dynatrace makes use of the Operator concept by putting operational knowledge into software and automating the management, updates, and roll-outs of new Dynatrace OneAgent versions.
Value-add of Dynatrace OneAgent Operator at a glance:
OneAgent Operator offers fine-grained control of OneAgent roll-outs. You can thereby select nodes based on node labels. This enables you to monitor selected nodes using different Dynatrace environments. OneAgent Operator also supports tolerations so you can deploy OneAgent on tainted nodes.
Dynatrace OneAgent updates are performed automatically, as soon as they're available. When pending updates are available, OneAgent Operator takes care of recycling all pods that haven't yet picked up the latest version.
OneAgent Operator ensures that you always monitor your OpenShift cluster with the latest OneAgent version.
How does OneAgent Operator work?
Dynatrace OneAgent Operator registers itself as a controller that watches for resources of type
OneAgent as defined by a CustomResourceDefinition. This allows you to define a configuration that describes your OneAgent deployment. By loading the configuration into Kubernetes or OpenShift, the configuration is automatically passed to the custom controller which ensures the rollout of OneAgent based on your specification.
The following diagram outlines the involved components and objects.
By creating the OneAgent
CustomResource entity in Kubernetes, the object is automatically passed to Dynatrace OneAgent Operator. First, it's determined if a corresponding DaemonSet already exists. If not, Dynatrace OneAgent Operator creates a new one. The DaemonSet is responsible for rolling out OneAgent to selected nodes.
Further, OneAgent Operator constantly queries the Dynatrace API to check if a new version is available for a given deployment. In the event of a pending update, all Pods belonging to a certain custom resource that don't have the updated version are recycled in order to pick up the latest drivers.
This reconciliation loop constantly revises the actual state with the desired state and takes appropriate actions when needed.

Tailormade vacation in Peru, Inca Trail & Amazon
Carbon reduction
Your vacation will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this vacation and how to reduce them.
We take longer to walk the Inca Trail, keeping you away from the overcrowded and environmentally depleted campsites. Instead you stay at peaceful campsites where numbers are very low and therefore environmental impact minimal. We are scrupulous about carrying everything out with us.
In the Amazon you stay in a lodge with first rate environmental credentials. The lodge is integrated into its surroundings in almost every way imaginable. The staff are largely sourced from the tiny local Condenado and Infierno communities. There is an impressive programme of training which means that your guide may well have started as a pot-wash in the kitchen before working and training his way up the ladder to being a guide.
The lodge is placed within a 200 hectare buffer zone on the edge of the Tambopata Reserve. It is working hard with the local brazil nut farmers to include them in the benefits from eco-tourism, thereby encouraging their participation in conservation. The actual structure is built from wood brought in from upriver essentially they would sit on the river banks until a fallen tree passed by and would drag it to the lodge for use in the construction. Otherwise, materials are largely palm fronds, wild cane and clay from the surrounding area.
Finally, the lodge owners have been major players in protecting the area from the threat posed by the proposed trans-continental highway which would run from coastal Peru to coastal Brazil right through the Amazon.
We only run our own dedicated Inca Trail departures exclusively in conjunction with a small family business in Cusco. We have our own team of local guides and porters in place in Peru. We can be sure that we are only working with the best and most experienced guides. It also means that we work with a single community to provide portage services thus ensuring a stable and reliable source of income for local families.
Our porters come from the community of Chacllanca, about 45km from Cusco. Generally they are subsistence farmers who supplement their earnings by working on the Inca Trail. Our two head chefs, Virgilio and Herlin are in charge of getting the teams together and are therefore the bosses. Your team of porters is usually therefore made up of friends, family and neighbours who respect one another and work well together. Needless to say, we adhere strictly to the Porter Protection Policies in place on the Inca Trail.

Swimming Pools Injuries Lawyers Las vegas
In Las Vegas, swimming pool accidents are common. Not only homes, but hotels, casinos and resorts have swimming pools in this warm weather spot. Swimming pool accidents result largely from drowning, but also may be caused by hitting the head or other part of the body on the hard bottom or side of the pool. In addition, swimming too close to vents has caused catastrophic injuries.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury deaths.[1] Nationally, about 10 people a day die from drowning. Approximately two of these are children, 4 years old or younger. In addition, five times that number of children are hurt in swimming pools and require hospital emergency department care.
Pool Accident Statistics
The highest rate of deaths from drowning in the U.S. is for children between one and four years old. Only the rate of children's deaths due to congenital defects ranks higher. Others who account for high rates of drowning in the country are:
- Males (80 percent of fatal drownings)
- African Americans, whose death rate from drownings is 9 percent greater than the rest of the population (among children between five and 14 years old, drowning deaths in African Americans was 116 percent higher)
- In an editorial note, the Centers for Disease Control speculates the higher death rates among males could be because they overestimate their swimming ability, participate in higher risk activities, and are more inclined to use alcohol
Over half of non-fatal drowning victims who are treated in emergency departments need additional hospital care. This compares with a 6 percent hospitalization rate for all unintentional injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Those who suffer near-drowning accidents may have lifelong injuries such as:
- Serious brain damage that can result in memory problems and learning disabilities
- Permanent loss of function including paralysis or persistent vegetative state
Preventing Drowning
Important ways to decrease swimming pool deaths include:
- Formal swimming lessons
- Teaching basic survival skills, such as righting oneself in the water
- Training a child how to proceed a short distance in water
- Learning how to tread water
- Fencing a pool off on all four sides from the surrounding area
- CPR given by someone close by
- Use of life jackets
- Be watchful (never leave a young child unattended and carefully observed at a swimming pool)
- Have a life guard on duty
Deaths from drownings and other swimming pool injuries could be decreased by resorts or hotels that take greater responsibility for guests' safety. In Las Vegas, the potential for swimming pool accidents are high due to the volume of alcohol people consume at pool parties and while staying at Las Vegas hotels and resorts.
If you or someone you love is injured in a swimming pool accident in the Las Vegas area, you can seek qualified legal representation from a Las Vegas premises liability lawyer at the law firm of Bertoldo, Baker, Carter & Smith. Our attorneys also represents families whose loved ones are killed in drowning accidents. To learn more, schedule a consultation today at 702-228-2600.

Terrell Davis on Peyton Manning: 'This might be the new normal for him'
More than 35 Broncos alumni are expected to gather in the Mile High City this weekend in honor of Pat Bowlen's Ring of Fame induction ceremony at halftime of Sunday's Broncos-Packers game.
The battle of undefeateds will be a throwback to the Super Bowl XXXII matchup that landed Bowlen his first world championship and featured two of the game's top quarterbacks, in Brett Favre and John Elway. But Sunday's game also serves as a benchmark for the future of the 2015 Broncos, who face their toughest test yet in Aaron Rodgers' 6-0 Packers.
The Broncos now star an aggressive defense that has carried them to a 6-0 start, scoring four defensive touchdowns and recording 17 takeaways that have led to 51 points. Although the offense showed improvement in its Week 6 victory over the Browns, it is still very much a work in progress as Peyton Manning and Co. adjust to Gary Kubiak's system.
Terrell Davis, the Super Bowl XXXII MVP and a Broncos Ring of Famer, can see that. He can also hear all the criticism surrounding Manning.
"People obviously talk about Peyton Manning, how he's lost it," said Davis, who arrived in Denver early for the NFL's "On the Fifty" apparel event Thursday in Lone Tree that is part of the league's season-long lead-up to Super Bowl 50. "Peyton Manning is 39 years old. There's going to be a day, and maybe that day has come already. This might be the new normal for him. This might be who he is."
After racking up 1,750 rushing yards and a league-high 15 rushing touchdowns in 1997, Davis piled on 157 yards and became the first player in Super Bowl history to score three touchdowns as the Broncos defeated the Packers, 31-24, for the title.
He followed it up the next season with 2,008 rushing yards and 23 total touchdowns — good enough for the league MVP award — before claiming another Super Bowl title with the Broncos, in 1998.
WATCH: Roundtable with Bronco greats Rod Smith, Ed McCaffrey, Jake Plummer
Davis, one of Mike Shanahan's first draft picks as head coach of the Broncos, in 1995, spent his entire seven-year NFL career with the team and is its all-time leading rusher, with 7,607 yards and 60 touchdowns.
As a force on the ground, he was also a part of offenses that featured an elite quarterback in Elway and elite receivers in Rod Smith, Ed McCaffrey and tight end Shannon Sharpe.
The balance Kubiak had some 17 years ago, as Denver's offensive coordinator in the final seasons of Elway's career, is one he had hoped to replicate for Manning this year. The zone-blocking offense was installed in an effort to boost the run game, which would take some pressure off Manning.
But the transition hasn't been smooth, or easy. And Davis knows they have a ways to go.
"They're trying to find their way," Davis said. "Defensively, you could say that's who they are. But I know that's not who they want to be. But at the same token, they're 6-0, they've won all their games, they're still trying get better, still trying to improve in certain areas, trying to eventually get to who they are. But that's going to take time."

If you've dedicated time to training exercises in isolation, good.
What do I mean by isolation? Training front squats using a work:rest type scenario is isolation. Do a set of squats, rest, do another set of squats. Most people will be familiar with this.
Grinding on exercises in isolation is key to developing performance. Celebrate the efforts.
But, if you're looking to add some flavor to your workouts, consider combining exercises together to create movement sequences.
Creating bodyweight based "nano-flow's" is a training tactic heavily influenced by Animal Flow and elements of Ido Portal's ground based conditioning work. I wrote an extensive article about Ido Portal's training methodology, read here.
Movement in daily life rarely happens the same way twice (or for 3 sets of 10 reps) like it does in the gym. We think it does, because it feels similar, but there are always subtle differences in every movement and motion that creates a unique physical experience.
Practicing a series of movements with brief periods of transition between each movement is an effective strategy to prepare for the unexpected demands of daily life.
Moving toward flow training improves a person's movement IQ, confidence and aids in injury mitigation in by adapting the individual to impromptu traversing of obstacles. Making split second adjustments to terrain, objects, trips and stumbles gradually become a skillset as the body adapts to quick decision making of the mind AND the body.
Introducing a new physical into the mix is refreshing and fun. Hours in the gym working the same exercises, chasing weight increases, more reps and sets can get quite bland. Staying excited about physical activity is important.
Enough already.
Here are 5 bodyweight based movement combinations worth trying…
#1 Parallete Bar Pass Through to L-Sit
Parallette Bars are a simple training tool and this combination makes great use of their design. Begin in a push up position, immediately lifting the legs and "passing through" the middle of the parallettes into the L-Sit. Hold the L-Sit for a 2-3 second count, then reverse the pass-through back to the start position.
Don't rush this. Use a slower tempo, spend time under tension and focus on controlling every inch. Embrace moving slow before moving fast.
Obviously this combination requires a set parallette bars (aka: P-Bars) for this combination. The parallette bars I'm using in this video are made of PVC, costing me roughly $6 and 10 minutes to cut, glue and assemble. They work great.
Could a person use chairs, wood blocks or something else? Yes, absolutely. But Parallette Bars will give you a better experience.
#2 High Bridge Rotation to Lizard Crawl
I give credit to 3 different training programs for shining the spotlight onto the benefits of bodyweight based training: Ido Portal Method, Animal Flow and Global Bodyweight Training.
Animal Flow (ground training) and Global Bodyweight Training (strength) equipped me the movement tools that led to implementing the high bridge rotation seen in this video.
Today, I work some variation of back bridging in nearly every workout, either as maintenance or to make progress.
High Bridge Rotations require adequate spinal extension, shoulder mobility, stability and strength. Practicing basic static back bridging is a must to gain access to the rotation. For many, back bridging will be unnatural (it was for me). In time, the body will make the adaptation the static bridge, bringing the High Bridge Rotation closer.
Once out of the high bridge rotation, refocus your vision, lower down and initiate the lizard crawl. The lizard crawl is an amazing strength and conditioning exercise.
As you can see, the lizard crawl is the dominating exercise here. You can also see my range of motion is modified to avoid the wall and cardio machines.
If you're new to the lizard crawl, check out the following variations, which may be a bit more palatable.
– Elbow Crawl
#3 Burpee Sprawl – Push Up – Squat – L Sit
What the hell am I supposed to name these movement combinations? I realize it's a mouthful, but technically, the name describes the sequence accurately. I'll keep it.
Perform a push up, hop forward into a deep squat position, place the hands on the floor slightly behind the butt cheeks as the legs extend and LIGHTLY tap the floor with the heels. Reverse the flow.
Tip: Keep the sprawl motion light and graceful. This is designed to be a heart pumping, thrashing burpee exercise. Control the kick back, be soft and quiet with the landing.
#4 Lunge to Pistol Squat Flow
Lower body training is essential for health and performance. So much of life takes place on two feet. Strong, stable and mobile legs that are capable of performing a robust variety of movements is well worth the time investment.
This combination binds together two fundamental patterns: lunges and squats.
Do your best to avoid touching the swinging foot to the floor during each transition.
This is one combination probably best executed for reps. Reps will vary from person to person, but 3-5 sets of 6-10 reps per side will work.
#5 Lizard Crawl + Low Scorpion
Like most people, I've got favorite exercises. Not necessarily because I feel I'm good at them, but because of the value they bring to my workout time. I don't have all day to train. I want exercises to give me big bang for my buck.
This lizard crawl + low scorpion combination is a unique, high value sequence.
There's no beginning or end with this sequence. It's a cyclical flow perfect for a small training space.
Practice this for repetitions or time. I prefer the time option. Setting a timer to focus on my movement quality versus having to tally repetitions and tripping over myself in the process. Set the timer, start moving.
Perform the initial phase of a lizard crawl, sweeping the unloaded arm forward. Reach. Once the hand finds the floor, transition your weight forward. In a traditional lizard crawl, the trailing leg would articulate and relocate to the side of the body.
Instead of continuing the crawl, reach the trailing leg up and over the body. Find the floor, step the other leg through, rinse and repeat.
Got all that? Just watch the video… hahaha.
Closing it out..
Fusing movements together is a great way to further challenge the body and bring a refreshing challenge into workouts. Maintaining interest in the contents of a workout is vitally important for long-term adherence. Quite simply, I you're bored and burned out, it's easy to skip training day and make that the new habit.
Not mentioned here are the cognitive benefits of learning new movements, skills and processing the transitions between those movements/skills. The "mental gymnastics" involved in sorting out unfamiliar movement is incredible for the brain. It keeps a person young and sharp with processing and solving movement riddles.
Cheers to your efforts,

Please note that for the purposes of this analysis, I use the Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov translation of Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy.
In his Discourses on Livy, Machiavelli addresses the topic of acquisitions. Having defended Rome's internal orders from its criticisms in Book I, he turns to defending its external orders in Book II. Machiavelli rejects the writers' assertion that Rome's empire was more the result of fortune than virtue. In doing so, Machiavelli outlines the common pitfalls of acquisitions and how remunerative acquisitions can be when done from prudence and not from avarice. Because Machiavelli's analysis of acquisition is as much a reflection on human nature, and while times have changed, human nature has not, in many ways Machiavelli anticipated the flaws and failures seen in today's practice of corporate mergers and acquisitions.
First, Machiavelli addresses what kind of person is mostly likely to instigate an acquisition. For the generality of men, ambition is the predominate impellent to acquire. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Machiavelli argues that it is he who already possesses things – not someone who does not possess anything – that has the greater desire to acquire. Machiavelli writes:
"There it was much disputed which is the more ambitious, he who wishes to maintain or he who wishes to acquire; for either one appetite or the other can be the cause of very great tumults. Yet nonetheless they are most often caused by him who possesses, because the fear of losing generates in him the same wishes that are in those who desire to acquire; for it does not appear to men that they possess securely what a man has unless he acquires something else new" (Book I.5).
Underlying Machiavelli's assertion is his assumption that the fear of losing not only generates the same wish that is in those who wish to acquire, but that this fear is keener and more impelling than the other, which is a mostly a velleity. Moreover, he who possesses is more able, not just more ambitious, to acquire because he possesses a base which to leverage for a new acquisition. One sees this in today's times, where most acquisitions are driven by management, full of ambition from avarice, who seek to appease rapacious bankers, celebrity activists and short-term shareholders to secure their own employment and generate higher compensation from the acquired revenues, despite the possibility of value destruction from the acquisition.
Additionally, Machiavelli notices not only the kind of person who is more disposed to acquire, but that it varies with the times as well. In particular, Machiavelli observes that acquisitions from ambition arise when times are good. According to Machiavelli, human appetites are insatiable, for since from nature they have the ability and the wish to desire all things and from fortune the ability to achieve few of them, there continually results from this a discontent in human minds and a disgust with the things they possess. Machiavelli continues:
"it is the verdict of the ancient writers that men are wont to worry in evil and to become bored with good, and that from both of these two passions the same effects arise. For whenever engaging in combat through necessity is taken from the men they engage through ambition, which is so powerful in human breasts that it never abandons them at whatever rank they arise to. The cause is that nature has created men to that they are able to desire everything and unable to attain everything. So, since the desire is always greater than the power of acquiring, the result is discontent with what one possesses and a lack of satisfaction with it" (Book I.37).
Because of the insatiability of human appetites, acquisitions from ambition arise when times are good because men become dissatisfied with what they possess they govern themselves poorly. They grow in vain and intoxicated by good fortune by attributing all the good they have to the virtue they have never known. Because they use fortune badly in this way, Machiavelli says "From this arises the variability of their fortune" (Book I.37). Similarly, one need not strain to see that acquisitions from ambition are abundant when times are good and fewest when fortune reverses herself. For when times are good, balance sheets become bloated. Because of the ambition of management and avarice of activists, precipitousness trumps prudence. Not only are these acquisitions most costly because good times give to generous multiples, the irritability of management does not allow them to consider how the times might vary.
Second, beginning with Book II Machiavelli defends the external orders of Rome. By external orders, Machiavelli refers to the modes and orders of diplomacy and warfare. Many writers of history, notably Plutarch and Livy, had the opinion that the Roman people in acquiring the empire was favored more by fortune than by virtue for they never had two very powerful wars combined at the same time. They conjecture that had Rome faced two difficult adversaries simultaneously instead of successively, the Roman Republic would have been ruined. Contra Plutarch, among others, Machiavelli asserts that the Romans owed their success – hence, their empire – to extreme virtue and not to fortune. Machiavelli writes:
"For if there has never been a republic that has made the profits that Rome did, this arose from there never having been a republic that has been ordered so as to be able to acquire as did Rome. For the armies' virtue made them acquire the empire; and the order of proceeding and its own mode found by its first lawgiver made them maintain what was acquired" (Book II.1).
According to Machiavelli, it was not possible for an empire to emerge as great as that acquired by the Roman Republic via fortune. Instead, it was made possible by the good foundation laid by Romulus (see Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy: On Good Foundations) and acquired by the virtue of Roman arms (see Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy: On Adversaries), and maintained by their prudence (see Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy: On Virtue vs. Fortune). Machiavelli summarizes thus: "whoever considers well the order of these wars and the mode of their proceeding will see inside them a very great virtue and prudence mixed with fortune. Therefore, whoever may examine the cause of such fortune will easily recover it" (Book II.1). What I intend to argue via Machiavelli's analysis of Roman virtue is a model for acquisitions well done; for their virtue and prudence in acquisition were unrivaled.
Machiavelli begins by addressing the criticism levied by Plutarch. It was not merely good fortune that the Romans never had to fight two great adversaries simultaneously rather than successively, but rather a product of their prudence and virtue. Machiavelli asserts that the Romans acquired the goodwill of certain adversaries in order to acquire the tangible asserts others. While goodwill is unreliable for he who relies on it, the Romans did not rely on it, but sold it for tangible benefits – that of time. In so doing, they temporized their adversaries, only to overcome them at a later time when they were at greater strength. Machiavelli elaborates:
"For it is a very certain thing that as soon as a prince and a people come into so much reputation that every neighboring prince and people is afraid for itself to assault it, and fears it, it always happens that none of them will ever assault it if not necessitated to do so. So it will be almost the choice of that power to make war with whichever of its neighbors it likes, and to quiet the others with devices. And, partly out of respect for its power, party deceived by those modes that it used to put them to sleep, those are easily quieted. Those other powers that are distant and do not have business with it care for the thing as a distant affair that does not belong to them. They stay in that error this fire comes near them; when it has come, they have no remedy to eliminate it unless with their own forces, which then are not enough, since it has become very powerful" (Book II.1).
When a republic or corporate becomes powerful, its adversaries will be fearful to attack due to the expectation of retaliation. Thus, they will only attack if necessitated and will opt for the goodwill of the powerful in the meantime. Thus, it enables the powerful to select those enmities that are most favorable. This is what the Romans did. Other successful businesses have done the same. One can take Amazon, for instance, and see how much fear they inspired for many adversaries. It allowed Amazon to acquire the goodwill of certain adversaries in order to wage competition on others. Thus, having acquired more scale and ability, Amazon was able to reneg on its charity and overcome the competition it allowed having temporized it. Had the competition – just as Rome's adversaries – realize how imprudent it was to acquire uncertain short-term relief in exchange for certain long-term peril, they would have realized that there is no other mode more necessary to defend one's freedom than steel – that is, the Roman way.
Machiavelli affirms that it could not have been possible for Rome to acquire what they did owing to fortune and not virtue. For the adversaries that Rome conquered were everywhere armed and very obstinate in their defense. Thus, it was only by the Romans' extreme virtue – a level of virtue that I do not know if he attributes anywhere else – that they were able to acquire their empire. Machiavelli writes:
"in every least part of the world the Romans found a conspiracy of republics very armed and very obstinate in defense of their freedom. This shows that without a rare and extreme virtue the Roman people would have never been able to overcome them" (Book II.2).
Similarly, when one considers the merit of certain achievements, one can see whether success owes more to virtue or fortune by the difficulty or ease of those accomplishments. Thus, when one compares the returns of a virtuous and prudent man, such as Seth Klarman, to those of a very fortunate man, such as Peter Lynch, one sees that the times were very accommodating in the latter as was the ease of accomplishment. Thus, the superior risk-adjusted returns lie with the former.
One of the modes that many Rome very successful in acquiring and maintaining their empire was their custom of extending citizenship to those who they acquired. This allowed them to not only acquire land, but also loyal inhabitants. The abundance of citizens allowed Rome to oversee its empire and gave them a large body from which virtuous captains could emerge, such as Fabius Maximus. As Machiavelli writes, "Those who man for a city to make a great empire should contrive with all industry to make it full of inhabitants, for without this abundance of men one will never succeed in making a city great" (Book II.3). Similarly, one needs an abundance of skilled managers to oversee and manage each acquisition and investment. One can look at the example of John Malone, whose prudence has enabled him to acquire while his recruitment of leading operators has enabled him to maintain and grow. Additionally, one needs an abundance of cash flow as well to support one's acquisition and make the necessary investments to defend it from competition. Acquisitions of assets that themselves do not produce any or sufficient cash flows are inherently speculative.
Machiavelli illustrates these points via metaphor and history. He cites the example of Sparta and Venice, oligarchies that were highly restrictive and hostile to immigration. While this allowed the nobles to maintain their power for many centuries, this power was necessarily restricted to their polis. For their small size did not allow them to acquire empire. Citing history, Machiavelli points out that as soon as Sparta and Venice acquired a dominion, they immediately lost it because their modes and orders did not enable them to maintain acquisitions. Machiavelli writes:
"And since all our actions imitate nature, it is neither possible nor natural for a thin trunk to support a thick branch. So a small republic cannot seize cities or kingdoms that are thicker than it. If, however, it seizes one, what happens is as with a tree that has a branch thicker than the stem: it supports it with labor, and every small wind breaks it" (Book II.3).
Comparing the model of Sparta and Venice to a thin tree trunk, Machiavelli notes that it is not possible for a thin trunk to support a large branch. While it might appear possible on a spreadsheet, the slightest winds break it. Here, Machiavelli provides cogent insight into the fundamental flaws of levered acquisitions, such as LBOs and roll-ups. For these modes acquire large branches, but because their stems are so little because they cannot support the acquisition with cash flows, they work only when the times are favorable, but break with every gust. And when they break, it is not only the branch that is harmed, but it can be fatal for the stem as well.
The virtue and prudent of the Romans was the opposite of the Spartan and private equity models of acquisition. As Machiavelli notes, "In every action of theirs it will be seen with how much prudence they deviated from the universal mode of others so as to make easy for themselves the way to arrive at a supreme greatness" (Book II.6). Rome was contrarian to the times – or, in truth, to human nature – because of their extreme virtue. Thus, the Romans did not acquire out of ambition, as has always been conventional among the generality of men, but did so out of prudence. Machiavelli elaborates:
"The intention of whoever makes war through choice – or, in truth, ambition – is to acquire and maintain the acquisition, and to proceed with it so that it enriches and does not impoverish the country and his fatherland. It is necessary, then, in acquiring and in maintaining not to think of spending but instead to do everything for the utility of his public. Whoever wishes to do all these things must take the Roman style and mode" (Book II.6).
The extreme virtue of the Romans not only lay in their arms, but in their modes and orders, which incentive the consuls to act for the benefit of the fatherland and not out of private interest. Because of their short term limit, it kept wars brief as the consuls sought triumph during their term. Moreover, the way in which the Romans distributed booty to the public treasury and sent colonies to lower the maintenance expense of acquisition ensured that acquisitions were profitable for the fatherland. Thus, the Romans "became ever richer and more powerful" (Book II.6).
Congruous to the prudent principles of acquisition, the Romans saw siege warfare as inimical and insalubrious. Siege warfare, as Machiavelli elucidates, is not for the parsimonious. For siege warfare is both exorbitant and inordinate in time and resources. Thus the Romans, in their propriety and prudence, avoided situations of siege warfare so not to expend themselves for small gains. As Machiavelli writes:
"[The Romans] always made it [war] with every advantage, both as to expense and as to every other thing sought in it. From this it arose that they guarded themselves from taking towns by siege, for they judged the expense and inconvenience of this mode to be so great as to overcome by far the utility that could be drawn from what it acquired" (Book II.32).
Like the Spartan and private equity and activist models, engaging in siege warfare requires the acquirer to pay a premium for their acquisition. Thus, whatever value was to be acquired is negated by the expenses incurred. As the Romans observed: "For in a siege, there are length and expense… They saw that with a defeat of an enemy army they acquired a kingdom in a day, and in taking an obstinate city by siege they consumed many years" (Book II.32).
The greatness of the Romans is better understood when juxtaposed with the poor examples of the modern princes of Machiavelli's time. Contrary to the prudence of the Romans, the modern princes and republics engaged in acquisition for their own ambition. They acquired when they did not have sufficient arms to do so, or when they had arms, blinded by ambition, they allowed wars to be prolonged thus depleting their arms, making maintenance difficult and the acquisition more harmful that what was obtained. As Machiavelli summarizes:
"Whoever governs himself otherwise [to the Roman way] seeks not his life but his death and ruin, for in a thousand modes and from many causes his acquisitions are harmful. For he very likely acquires empire without forces, and whoever acquires empire without forces will be fittingly ruined. Whoever impoverishes himself through wars cannot acquire forces, even should he be victorious, since he spends more than he obtains from his acquisitions" (Book II.19).
The Roman mode of acquisitions, as can be seen, in the spirit of having a margin of safety. For like the rare prudent and astute investors today, they intelligently weighed the risks and costs of each acquisition. Where the risk was low, the reward was high because of their mode of acquisition. They kept wars short and avoided conflicts that would be prone to be dragged out so as to reduce the expense of acquisition. By enriching the fatherland with the booty acquired and sending out self-sufficient colonies to manage the new acquisitions, they kept the costs of maintenance low. Similarly, one sees that virtuous investors and managers today, though few, acquire where the expense is not high and that the benefits to their patria is greater than the costs incurred. They acquire with sufficient cash and cash flow on hand, without relying on leverage. They send out skilled operators to make sure than the maintenance of the acquisition is self-sufficing so as not to ruin the patria and to provide, but rather provide cash flows for their benefit. Those unlike these acquire from ambition, they lack the cash and cash flow on hand so they leverage up, exposing their patria to great risk, and ultimately, ruin.
While history has changed and grown, human nature has remained unchanged and stagnant. Thus, the same mistakes are repeated. Citing the Roman virtue in acquisition, Machiavelli professes, "And if this mode of expanding does not please them, one should think that acquisitions made by any other way are the ruin of republics, and should put a check on every ambition" (Book II.19). That is, any acquisition made not for the benefit and utility of the fatherland, prudently judged, will cause more expense than what is acquired. But Machiavelli knew that the Romans were the exception and not the rule in history, for princes and republics continue to make the same mistakes in acquisition by adhering to ambition. Machiavelli writes:
"For all arose their having wished to acquire and not known how to take up the mode to do so. They deserve more blame inasmuch as they have less excuse, since they saw the mode the Romans took and could have followed their example, while the Romans, without any example, by their own prudence, knew how to find it themselves" (Book II.19).
Even though the histories are full of these failures, princes still repeat these mistakes for they ignore the lessons of history contrary to their desires and inclinations, as Machiavelli says, "And although the histories may be full of it, they still would not have lent it their faith" (Book II.19). All too similarly, managers, bankers, and activists continually repeat the same mistakes of their predecessors in acquisition. History shows that by and large, acquisitions are net destroyers of value, that synergies rarely materialize up to expectations, that integration is difficult, among numerous other obstacles incurred in acquisition. One can tell a manager, banker, or activist this by pointing out infinite examples in history, but they do not lend it faith stemming from their own ambition and hubris. So much was the virtue and greatness of the Romans, who not having history as a guide, were able to figure it out for themselves. Thus, one who wishes to acquire ought to follow the steps of those great figures before them, so that if one does not achieve the great heights of those predecessors, one may be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach.

August Wilson's Jitney and The John Jorgenson Quintet
Events January 23-January 24, 2020
Various Authors noon, Jan. 18
Amy Baca Lopez is not afraid to lure people with false promises of bacon.
Ok. That only happened once, at the South Park Walkabout, when she let a comedian tell bacon jokes near her studio and people ended up coming in and looking at her paintings.
Her many, many paintings. Baca Lopez is a busy artist. She has been painting full-time since 2009 when, after walking 300 miles on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain, she decided to quit graphic design.
"I decided it would be ok to do something slow," she says. "Instead of sitting in front of a computer all day.
"The Camino was all about love. It was marked with all these yellow arrows that sort of say 'this way to love this way to love,' for miles. When I came back, I thought I would paint love in different ways."
Baca Lopez signs her artwork with a pair of X's. The glyphs, to her, symbolize the love that inspires all her work, as well as "the here and now." They appear in large form on her major, canvas works, which evoke the spirit of Miro, Picasso, and Dali. The warmth of Spanish modernism resonates with Baca Lopez.
She also signs her "pop-up positivity" series with the XX. Wildly different from the expressive colorways of her larger pieces, the pop-ups resemble Tumblr posts or internet memes, a fine artist's version of the image macro. Baca Lopez paints words and phrases that range from the irreverent ("loosen thy grip of the chicken") to the inspiring ("spend time among the flowers") to the adorable ("I love you more than bacon"). She has a degree in creative writing, and her time spent doing design work made her familiar with the powerful effect that type can have.
"There's a writer in me, so I don't have to say anything. [At shows] I just let people step back and decide if they are drawn to the images or the words."
Layering paint is a big part of her artworks. Some of her paintings have entire paintings beneath the paintings. She says that a lot of the color in a painting comes from what's underneath, more so than the paint on top. There's a difference between putting a lot of paint on a canvas, which works for some people, and laying down a little bit of paint over and over and over again, the latter being more Baca Lopez's style.
"I learned about painting these layers from someone in a ghost town in Cuchillo, New Mexico," Baca Lopez says. "He would cut holes in cargo containers with a plasma cutter and paint all over him. I would go for a walk and by the time I got back he would have added layers and layers to the container. There was magic in that."
Fans of The Real World San Diego might remember seeing a few of Baca Lopez's paintings on the show. The MTV art department loved one of her early paintings so much that they commissioned a set of canvases for the show's set. These days, Baca Lopez tries to match her constant painting with regular shows, aiming for one show a week.
Her Facebook page has the most up-to-date information on her current projects.

A bit of local history of farmers' markets –
North Idaho Past/Present
Thank you Nancy Renk for sharing.
The Farmers' Market was originally the brainchild of Lois Wythe, then owner of The Peaceable Kingdom. She created and distributed flyers to explore interest in forming a community produce market in March 1988, asking the questions, "Would you like to put your garden to work? Are you interested in having high quality locally grown vegetables available to buy?" She then arranged for a meeting place at the county extension office for those to whom the concept appealed, and was astonished when about sixty people showed up to discuss the formation of a farmers market.
Enthusiastic supporters quickly formed a core group to formulate a basic structure, secure a site, and create an organization. The city agreed to allow the market to occupy Farmin Park during business hours, and within a few weeks the market opened with about ten venders, all offering produce, plants and flowers from their own gardens. The need for a source of fresh organic vegetables and fruits was immediately apparent, as customers arrived to buy from their neighbors and friends.
The market flourished, growing steadily each year. At first, the management of the market was by volunteers; each member was required to shoulder the burden several times a season, which worked well and economically for the fledgling group. However, it created some difficulty for the individual members who found it impossible to sell and manage simultaneously. Thus, after five or six years of growth and expansion, the market members decided to risk hiring a manager to take care of setting up the market each session, collecting fees and commissions, and answering questions from the public. Ellen Weissman took the job, and created her own job description dictated by the needs of market and customers. It was a resounding success. The increase in organization paid off. The Farmers' Market decided to take another risk, to utilize the gazebo in the park for entertainment during market sessions. The first musicians took their pay in garlic, potatoes and soap, along with applause and appreciation.
The market continued to grow, filling the park with festive sounds and appetizing produce and floral displays. Crafts were introduced, first once a month, then twice… and finally on each market day. Linda Brady was hired as the second market manager. The market prospered, and the musicians were finally paid for their efforts on all Saturdays and even some Wednesdays. The gazebo, which had been only partially roofed, was completed by market members, giving musicians shelter on rainy days.
Today, the Farmers' Market is an integral part of community life, and an important source of entertainment, family outings, and healthful food, colorful flowers for everyday and special occasions, and as a stop for visitors from all over, offering opportunities to get acquainted with Sandpoint and to purchase items grown or made locally. It has become a well-organized, friendly place. The range of foods available has grown, too, including fresh produce, fruits, homemade cheeses and baked goods, plants of all descriptions, flowers, soaps, baskets, berries grown locally or collected from the wild, and a wide range of high quality craft items.
The market salutes Lois Wythe and her vision,
and all who made the dream a reality for Sandpoint!

Neüterhead is proud to announce that we have made our first donation to a spay/neuter cause! We have donated $5,000 to Spirit's Mission, a volunteer group from Gabriola, BC who provide vet care and education to isolated communities in BC. Our donation will enable them to sterilize an estimate of 200 companion animals. Their goals are as follows… • To provide isolated First Nations communities with free or low cost sterilization and basic veterinary services, including vaccinations, de-worming and parasite control, for the community's companion animals. • To provide humane animal welfare education on dog bite prevention. • To provide education that will enhance the lives of community animals. • To nurture the human/animal relationship and encourage responsible guardianship for dogs and cats. Thank you all for your support! We couldn't have done it without you all making donations, purchasing merch, or attending a show!

Metalsucks.net wrote an article about us! We didn't think of it until it was mentioned in the article, but yea, a metal cover of that sappy 'I Will Remember You' song that plays on the SPCA commercials is totally in order. Read an excerpt below, or click here for the full article! Neüterhead: Ace of Spays, by Leyla Ford You know what's the best thing in the world? Happy kitties and doggies! You know what's the worst thing in the world? Sad kitties and doggies. And when kitties and doggies live on the street, that's when they're saddest. Cold, hungry, just trying to find the will to go on, dodging cars and coyotes, that's no life for a kitty or doggy. Now you may not consider Bob Barker very metal but this organization does. So let's all pledge to spay and neuter our kitties and doggies so none of them are sad and on the streets multiplying like bunnies. Who also need to be spayed/neutered.

Meet Emily Maddox
Education Specialist II
Interview by Emilio Orozco, high school student and former Aquarium Student Oceanography Club (SOC) member
Describe your job here at the Aquarium.
I work in the Education Department on three different things. During the school year I work with the school programs where I teach programs in the Discovery Lab and in the auditorium to a wide variety of students. I also work with the Student Oceanography Club, where we provide experiences for middle school students to meet with local scientists, learn about local research and learn about the Monterey Bay ecosystem. And I work with the Teen Conservation Leaders, where high school students can volunteer here at the Aquarium. We train the students to be volunteer guides on the floor, teaching them about the Aquarium, the animals, the history, climate change—all kinds of things.
What experience or skills do you need to work in this field?
A lot of different skills! I don't think you necessarily need a science background, but I think you need the excitement and the passion to learn about it because when you come here you need to learn so many new things. You need some teaching background to work with the different age groups, and you also need development skills to work with people of all different ages.
"Keep your eyes open for opportunities that will lead you in the right direction...if you get turned down for something, try again!"
What did you study?
I went to UC Berkeley and I studied Earth and planetary science with an emphasis in marine science. Then I stayed there for my master's in science education. I also got my single subject teaching credential in Earth sciences.
What do you like most about your job?
I think what I love most about my job is how many amazing opportunities we're able to provide for students. It's kind of mind boggling that we're able to provide free programs for 80,000 students every year—some students who would never have the opportunity to come here otherwise. Also, connecting young students with scientists to inspire them to become the future leaders, whether it's in science or education or whatever field they desire.
What's your advice for students interested in your career?
Be really excited to learn and try new things. Keep your eyes open for opportunities that will lead you in the right direction. Also, don't be shy to volunteer places or try for internships or meet new people—if you get turned down for something, try again!
What's your favorite Aquarium experience?
One of the most amazing experiences ever was kayaking with the Student Oceanography Club. Despite getting a little seasick, we were whale watching from kayaks!

High Times announced on Monday that it is teaming up with cannabis dispensary and meditation lounge APCO MED for the upcoming Oklahoma Cannabis Cup. The pot culture festival and competition to honor Oklahoma's best cannabis products will take place on August 24 and 25 at the Lost Lakes Amphitheater in Oklahoma City.
The medicinal use of marijuana was legalized by Oklahoma voters last year with the passage of State Question 788. The constitutional amendment was passed by a margin of 56% to 43% in June 2018. Over 140,000 patients have already been approved to use medical marijuana and nearly 6,000 licenses for cannabis growers, processors, and dispensaries had been approved by the state as of July 1.
Kraig Fox, the CEO of High Times, said in a press release announcing the partnership that the company, the most iconic brand in cannabis with a history stretching back nearly 45 years, is forging new connections to Oklahoma's nascent legal cannabis market.
"An integral part of the High Times Cannabis Cup events is creating a strong relationship with the local community where each event is held," said Fox. "With this Cannabis Cup being the first ever in Oklahoma, our partnership with APCO MED

Yesterday's Ontario Budget did not include any significant tax measures for either corporations or individuals. Of note, Ontario has decreased many of its corporate tax credits including the Apprenticeship Training Tax Credit, the Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit and the Film and Television Tax Credits.
The government also continues to move forward with a new mandatory provincial pension plan, to take effect by January 1, 2017. The plan will be funded by each of the employer and the employee.
A summary of the budget highlights are attached.


text: Page Content The quality of VTT activities in international comparison gets good grades from customers in the recent customer survey made by Taloustutkimus Oy. VTT projects produce clear benefits to the customers: 66% of VTT's Finnish customers got a new or improved product, service or production method as a result of their VTT project.30% adopted a completely new technology.Of the foreign customers 40% rated the quality of VTT activities as excellent. Foreign customers also appreciate customer-orientedness of VTT activities. Both domestic and foreign customers evaluate VTT activities more positively than in the previous survey. Finnish customers appreciate especially VTT's multidisciplinary competence and utilisation of different technologies as well as our ability to anticipate the general technology development. Our customers also feel that our research results are well presented in Finland. Our international customers value our customer-oriented services and the quality of our activities in international comparison. 90% of our international customers evaluate the quality to be at least good and nearly 40% regard it excellent in international comparison.A general increase in knowledge and competence level is still the strongest benefit of VTT-co-operation to its customers. This benefit was mentioned by 91% of our domestic customers and by 87% of our foreign customers.Truthful, reliable and unbiased has remained as the best describing attributes of VTT among the Finnish customers. International customers appreciate them as well, but additionally they mention the term co-operative and responsible. International customers evaluate these terms with more positive attitude than the Finnish customers.Also communication during negotiations as well as communications in general get better grades than previously. However, usability of VTT web pages and offering of the full range of VTT services need to be improved. Foreign customers seem to find VTT contact persons easily, clearly better than our Finnish customers.Nearly 60% of the customers had already utilised their VTT project results commercially or in production. This is a much higher value than before. VTT's role in the utilisation of the results has also increased. About a fifth of the customers felt that the utilisation wouldn't have happened without VTT expertise.The Finnish customers regard the Finnish universities as VTT's main competitors, the international customers mention international universities.As for VTT's role in the future, the Finnish customers regard VTT's role as a supplier and provider of research and testing infrastructure as very import. Secondly, they mention the role as a technology developer and facilitator of technology utilisation and as a promoter of efficient use of energy and raw materials.VTT projects also create side benefits that the customers don't consciously seek. More than half of the customers didn't aim at networking but still half of these customers had registered networking as an achieved benefit of their project.

Updated Southern Cooking:
A Buffet Dinner to Celebrate the New Year: Part III
John Tullock
Here are the recipes for the main and dessert courses for a buffet dinner for 12 to celebrate New Yearąs Eve. Check the article archive for the complete menu and recipes, which have appeared in past weeks.
Roast Tenderloin of Beef Creole
1 whole beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied, about 4 pounds.
2/3 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanch
1/3 cup olive oil (not necessary to use extra-virgin)
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
Seasoning Mix
Thoroughly combine:
1 Tbs black peppercorns, cracked
1 Tbs white peppercorns, cracked
1 teaspoon dried hot pepper flakes
1 Tbs paprika
Crack the peppercorns by placing them between sheets of plastic wrap and pressing down with the bottom of a heavy skillet or pot, or use a mortar and pestle. The pieces should be coarse and gritty.
Do not use chardonnay in this recipe, as the oakiness it contributes is out of place, creating a hint of bitterness that I find unpleasant. Sauvignon blanch and Rhine are good choices that provide acidity without the oak. Combine the wine, oil, onion, garlic and salt in a plastic bag large enough to hold the beef. Place the trimmed tenderloin in the bag and seal tightly, pressing out any air so that the beef is completely covered with the marinade. Alternatively, place the beef and marinade in a baking dish and turn the beef every hour or so to marinate evenly. Marinate beef 6-8 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Roll the beef in the seasoning mix. Place on rack in open roaster. Roast at 425 degrees until thermometer in thickest part registers 135 degrees (45-50 minutes). Let stand 15 minutes. Carve. Transfer the beef to a platter, arranging the slices decoratively. Garnish with fresh parsley, cherry tomatoes, and whole black, white, pink, and green peppercorns for a holiday flair.
After marinating and coating with pepper, the beef can sit, loosely wrapped in waxed paper, in the refrigerator for another day before roasting. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
Aunt Hazeląs Potato Salad
My aunt was an amazing lady. When I visited her unannounced and found no one at home on one occasion, I searched near the house and discovered her 15 feet up in an oak tree, removing a limb that was shading her little herb garden near the kitchen door. She was 91. Her potato salad was a fixture on the table of every church supper and family gathering I can remember. The secret to its appeal seems to lie in cutting the vegetables into uniform, fine dice. The cubes should be a little less than 1/4 inch across, the cut chefąs know as brunoise. This recipe makes enough for a crowd.
5 pounds waxy boiling potatoes, such as Red Pontiac, peeled, diced and held under cold water prior to cooking
1 cup finely diced celery
1 cup finely diced green bell pepper
1 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 cup finely diced onion
Bring a large pot of water and a tablespoon of salt to a rolling boil. Drain the water from the potatoes and add them to the pot. Cook until the potatoes are barely tender, about 6 to 10 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables, return to a boil and cook one minute longer. Drain the vegetables in a colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking. Drain thoroughly, dry on kitchen towels, and transfer the vegetables to a large bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled.
Make the dressing by combining:
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
Mix the dressing gently into the vegetables and return to the refrigerator until ready to serve. Top with chopped fresh parsley and garnish with slices of hard cooked egg.
Glazed Baby Carrots and Sugar Snap Peas
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in the contents of a one pound package of peeled baby carrots. Cook for 6 minutes after the water returns to a boil, then remove the carrots with a slotted spoon and drop them into a bowl of cold water. This will stop their cooking and set the color. Return the water in the pot to a boil and drop in 1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed. Cook 3 minutes, then drain the peas in a colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking. Reserve the peas and carrots separately, covered, in the refrigerator until you are ready to complete the dish.
In a heavy 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. Add the carrots and toss, covering them with the glaze. Cook gently, allowing the glaze to reduce and the carrots to brown slightly. Add the reserved snap peas, toss and cook until just heated through. Serve at once, garnished with chopped fresh chervil. Keep warm over hot water on the buffet.
Grandma Tullockąs Deviled Eggs
I must confess the secret to this recipe is homemade sweet pickles, but you can achieve almost the same result with store bought ones.
Place a dozen eggs into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil. Cover the pan tightly and turn off the heat. Allow to poach for 20 minutes, then drain the eggs and run cold water over them. Let them sit in cold water in the pan until cool, then peel. Cut each egg in half lengthwise, separating the yolks and placing them in a bowl, and arranging the whites on a tray.
Mash the yolks gently with a fork. Add to the yolks 2 tablespoons finely chopped drained sweet pickles, a dribble of pickle juice, 1/4 teaspoon curry powder, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Combine thoroughly, then add enough mayonnaise to produce a nice consistency for filling the whites. Transfer the egg mixture to a heavy duty zip closure bag. Cut off one of the corners of the bag with scissors, to make a hole about 1/4 inch in diameter. Gently squeeze the bag to pipe the filling decoratively into the whites. Top each filled egg with a small piece of pimento. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Taking the eggs from the refrigerator about an hour before serving improves the flavor.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Symbolizing welcome, pineapple motifs adorn many southern homes. In this easy and scrumptious dessert, it welcomes the New Year, and partners wonderfully with another southern favorite, pecans.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Sift before measuring, 2-1/4 cups cake flour. Resift with 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a 10-inch round or 9 X 12 oblong baking pan or cast iron skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar until a syrup forms. Drain a 1 pound can of sliced pineapple in unsweetened juice, reserving the liquid, and arrange the slices in the butter/sugar mixture in the pan. Arrange pecan halves in the spaces between the pineapple rings. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, in a large bowl cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color. Continue beating, adding 3 large eggs, one at a time, combining well between additions. Add 3 tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice, along with 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and combine well.
Using a wooden spoon, blend 1/3 of the flour mixture into the bowl, followed by 1/3 cup sour cream. Add another third of the flour, combine well, then another 1/3 cup sour cream, and finally the remainder of the flour. Spoon the batter over the fruit. Tightly cover the baking pan with foil and bake for half an hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven, carefully take off the foil, and cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Place a serving platter atop the pan and invert. Gently remove the pan. Store the cake, covered with plastic wrap, overnight in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature an hour or two prior to serving. Serves 12.

The HazMat endorsement lasts a maximum of 5 years; after that, those holding a CDL with the HazMat endorsement must get it renewed. Follow these steps to keep your CDL HazMat endorsement up to date.
Determine the date that your HazMat endorsement expires. You must apply to renew your HazMat endorsement before it is set to expire. This step is important; do not overlook that official HazMat expiration date.
Complete the HazMat endorsement application. This will be the same process that was required the first time that you applied for the HazMat endorsement.
Give the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) your fingerprints (part of their regular screening process). This is another step that is also part of your initial application, as well as your HazMat endorsement renewal.
Keep your CDL current. Letting your CDL lapse will also affect the status of your HazMat endorsement. Apply to renew your CDL 90 days before it expires in order to prevent the HazMat endorsement from falling off as well (then you would have to renew both, which would require more work!).
