'I won't freeze. I am from Tonga.' Shirtless Olympian steals show at opening ceremony
Just as he did two years ago at the Summer Olympics, Pita Taufatofua bared his oiled-up chest proudly before the Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
And the display again drew tons of love as fans worldwide watched the opening ceremony, which was televised on the U.S. West Coast on tape-delay at 5 p.m. Friday (re-aired at 8 p.m.).
Though his ceremonial garb was the same, things will be much different this time for Taufatofua. He competed in taekwando during the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro; in Pyeongchang, he'll be cross-country skiing. And if you were wondering: Yes, Tonga is an island in the Pacific. No, it does not snow there.
"I won't freeze. I am from Tonga. We sailed across the Pacific. This is nothing," he said, according to the Olympic news service. "It's a little bit warmer being in Rio than in here ... but anytime you get to represent your country is a good time."
Taufatofua started skiing just last year, and said it's "the hardest thing I've ever done."
Taufatofua had originally said he wouldn't show up shirtless, according to USA Today, wanting to keep warm as ceremony temperatures were about 28 degrees. But he either changed his mind or wanted to keep the element of surprise.
Many Twitter users praised the well-built athlete.

Victoriously Made: Filmmaker Victor Joyner Talks Grey Hood and Filmmaking in NC.
Our nation has been impacted lately with so many occurrences of tragedy and division in the midst of a major political year. We are watching African-American males being violated of their rights and sadly losing their lives all over social media. We've seen entertainers in film, sports, media, music, and the arts express their views creatively about this epidemic of African-Americans dying at an escalated rate across our cell phone screens. Filmmaker, actor, and writer Victor Joyner has joined that list from the artistic community voicing their views through their craft on such pressing issues. His latest project Grey Hood could not be more on time as it talks about the very issues our nation is facing today. He's also a graduate of East Carolina University! I got a chance to sit down with my high school classmate about his journey to becoming a filmmaker, writer, entrepreneur, family man, and a man of great Faith.
So here's how it all went down......
How did your journey begin in filmmaking?
The first thing I did with filmmaking goes back to church. I was apart of the Video Ministry at my church back in Greenville at Koinonia Christian Center and I was with the production crew. I feel God always has you doing what He wants you to do before you are doing it. Basically from there I had a vision from God about a magazine. So once I started to process that Bishop Rosie S.O'Neal prophesied over me and told me that my Ministry message will be great. That I would be ministering even though I'm not a minister. So from there I talked with a friend about it that's in the industry. So he said maybe you should get into the industry so that way once you're doing this you won't be from the outside. So that made sense because people will open up to you and be more receptive if you know what you're talking about. I went to a modeling/acting school where he was going and so was my wife at the same time. However, when I think back to the first time I switched from in front of the camera to behind it, my wife reminded me that my first film was an international film. We were extras the first day, 2nd day I was offered a speaking part, and from there I was asked to co-direct. I found that on independent gigs I got a chance to be all over the set even though I was there as an actor. I was on a show called "WRAL's NC Wanted" and I was on the show all of the time but of course after being used so much you can't be every character but the show did win an Emmy.
Its like something switches and I become a whole new person. I just zone out. When you get focused you just release the inner you when your playing the part. I wrote 6 scripts in like 5 months it's not me its God I'm just the instrument He's using. -Victor Joyner
What's your writing process like when it comes to your films?
It's an interesting process. People ask me all the time how I write and if I write scene-by-scene but I don't know what's going to happen next. Its like I'm playing Chess in my head. Once my mind starts going it's going. You just let your mind open up. Then I got my LLC so I would be officially Victorious Films, LLC.
The first film I did was a short film called Hooped which was done off of a whim. A Bishop I worked with in Burlington told me about BET was having a short film contest and I should do it. I shot it here in Durham in 3 days and sold it around the world. - Victor Joyner
Here in NC its like no one wants to work together as a whole. It takes more than one brick to build a skyscraper. There are too many people trying to be single bricks instead of us working together. - Victor Joyner
How do you feel about the film industry in relation to North Carolina?
When you think about it a lot of the greats come from here in sports, gospel music, music, acting, and Wilson has so many people too. Here is one thing I want to push is getting our government to buy into our films that are homegrown. I went to Georgia and I was invited to the "Entertainment Gala" which was an awards show even the mayor was there. They make homegrown films and last year they made 6 billion dollars and the mayor said, "we are making 7 next year." The mayor came into the office with a vision for this. Everyone there was talking about homegrown films, actors, and we don't need to go outside of Georgia. Why can't North Carolina do that? There are tons of films you can Google that are shot here but there not homegrown. Why can't we get behind our own filmmakers? Why do I have to go to New Jersey, NYC, California, or Atlanta? Most of our people don't understand perpetual income. We are into throwing parties but if the film sales you have long-term income coming in because of your residuals.
I wrote Gospel Gangster down to a short and it literally only took me a day. - Victor Joyner
What was the inspiration behind Grey Hood?
Grey Hood I've written as a short for now and my wife is the producer. It's a story involving cop shooting but its hard to not give it away because it's a lot of twists, oh snap factors, and turns in this film. Its a story about a couple who just moved to the city and his wife is pregnant so they are about to have a baby. He jogs in the neighborhood wearing a grey hood. It's an eye-opening film for everyone. We were blessed to have Actor/Director Dennis LA White to be a part of this project.
Victor Joyner has made a change agent impression in our North Carolina communities. His films bring to light stories that are not always told and his experiences in television or film have made him a sought after director. His story is one to inspire and who knew growing up in rural Wilson, North Carolina our paths would cross as adults in entertainment. He's a devoted husband, loving father, and devout servant to God who is sharing his gifts of writing and directing with us all. I encourage each of us to support local homegrown filmmakers, films, actors, actresses, musicians, artists, and others in entertainment. That's what The Lux Blog is all about! Stay tuned and make sure you follow Victor's social media to see what's next.
Until next time Ladies & Gentleman this is The Lux Blog. - K. Knight

2016 Community Organisation Award for Multi-Strand
Victory Hants is a 'Diverse, Active Community Involvement Organisation' based in Fratton, Portsmouth, offering sporting and leisure opportunities to individuals age 16 and over. Participants may have a previous history of homelessness, mental health issues, learning disabilities, long term unemployment or have suffered social isolation due to age, sexual orientation, race or gender. The purpose of the group is to break down barriers within the community by offering participants opportunities to address health and well-being issues that affect their lives. Volunteers at Victory Hants support their participants to partake in local education opportunities, work trials, training or volunteering in order to achieve self-reliant, self-sustainable futures. Described by some as a 'lifeline', it is clear that this stunning organisation is having a phenomenal impact on their community.
We caught up with Tina Jacobs from Victory Hants after their win at The National Diversity Awards 2016. They won the Community Organisation Award for multi-strand and here's what Tina had to say about it…
How did you feel about the other shortlisted nominees within your category?
Oh gosh the other nominees in our category were amazing that's for sure! It was just so wonderful to all have the chance and the opportunity to come together and celebrate on such a very special night. Brian Cummings attended the awards ceremony along with one of our former participants who was once street homeless, Albert Howarth. Albert is a treasure to our organisation and very highly thought of amongst us all. When he first came to us we managed to relocate him back in his home town of Liverpool and so he was our guest for the evening. The networking at the ceremony whether it be on our table or during the drinks reception was just totally invaluable. We have had such amazing feedback from so many people since the evening and it is all extremely positive! It's very special for us here in Portsmouth to hear the feedback via different networks on social media and via email as unfortunately there was only Brian who had the opportunity to attend the awards from the office and it gives all of us a sense of pride to know just how highly thought of the award being received by ourselves is.
After winning the award, where is Victory Hants going to go from here, with regards to diversity?
Oh my goodness me, well winning the award just accentuates what we are doing and really highlights the impact that we are making on people's lives. So, were we arew going from here is of course to continue doing what we are doing and reach as many people as we possibly can. We want to prove that we can all live, work and play together regardless of where we come from. Victory Hants is based around the universal language of sport, mainly football and we have found that this is a great connector of people as anybody can kick a ball whoever we are. We try to portray that there is no barriers such as race or gender or even age, our oldest participant was in his nineties. We unite people by the common interest of sport and football and so with that in mind our organisation is going from strength to strength. Furthermore, there seems to be an awful lot of young people living on the streets we tend to work with the people in the age range of 16 to 60 who really need support and guidance. People may have lost their jobs or lost housing we can offer support and guidance to those people and try and find them new futures. We would love extend our reach even further I order to help more people and we can't express enough how fantastic and satisfactory it is when you see the difference you have made to an individual's life.
How is the work you are doing within all strands of diversity making a difference?
We are making a huge difference everywhere, especially down here in Hampshire because we are able to offer people from whatever their backgrounds opportunities. Whether they are homeless or they have mental health problems or disabilities or they come from a different cultural background, we like them to feel that they can come together and find common interests and make social connections and enjoy the time spent together. We ensure this by reaching out to various different isolations within communities and invite them along to join in with the sporting and recreational activities. We have meet up's twice a week and people come along and play football, they come along and get fit and healthier together as a team and everybody helps each other out to ensure that everybody fulfils their ability to the best it can be. We have had various tournaments and friendly matches across the country and unite with other organisations like ourselves and see it as an enjoyable networking opportunity. We see this as the perfect foundations to build new relationships with organisations and that the social connections bring people together beautifully. For us it is all about giving our participants the opportunity to share experiences and get involved and always feel included as this can make such a huge difference to an individual's lives. Victory Hants also offers training and educational opportunities for those that come and enjoy our activities and our volunteers offer support to those individuals, some obviously that have had previous experiences in their past maybe at school or in the community's things haven't gone too well for them and then with us they find that they can achieve which is such a satisfactory feeling for us at Victory Hants.
Why do you think it is important to highlight Diversity, Equality and Inclusion?
Well without what we are doing people will remain isolated in their communities and the Victory Hants project itself is uniting people right across the country and making people feel included and nit excluded anymore. We feel that when people know there worth they are able to give so much to the community and they begin to find their strengths and believe in themselves. A lot of people have previously joined us and experienced our services and have received the guidance and support themselves, a lot of them have come back and volunteered for us. People are getting fitter and healthier and their futures are looking so much brighter and for us that is just great.
Who or what is the inspiration behind the amazing work that Victory Hants does?
I feel as though the whole team are a phenomenal work force and we are so lucky to be surrounded by such outstanding people every single day coming to work. All of the amazing volunteers do such wonderful things and dedicate so much time and effort to ensure that our participants get the most out of the experience. Of course or us, that is the most important thing. The commitment across the board is unconditional and for that we are so thankful to all of our team. The biggest inspiration for us without a doubt is the mass of partakers we have, some of whom even come back to volunteer for us. The whole organisation has such a positive energy and we all thrive off each other's achievements therefore this award going to all of us has highlighted the importance of our work that we do together as a team.
What has the reaction from fellow employees and supporters been since winning the award?
Absolutely overwhelming! The Saturday morning after the awards we started getting some fantastic messages and feedback from various different individuals, organisations and ex participants and it was just very overwhelming for us and truly wonderful. We never even expected to shortlisted and so that was an achievement in itself but to actually win the award was just phenomenal. As you can imagine we are just so proud and excited for things to come and to see how wining this award can help us expand our horizons. We have had lots of people making contact with us via social media offering their congratulations and support for what we do which is absolutely fabulous and it really helps us towards our future. Our reach is absolutely huge we have had people contact us from all over the world which is breathtakingly wonderful! Previously we thought that we would only get as far as Glasgow to connect with people however our reach has massively expanded. To think that worldwide now people can hear of Victory Hants it is just amazing, not only for us but also for the people that we support, for them to be able to see what we do on such a large scale I hope is just as motivational for them as it is for us.
What were your thoughts on the awards? Did you enjoy the night?
Both Brian and Albert had an outstanding time at The Diversity Awards, it was like stepping into another world for Albert which we were of course honoured and delighted to be able to give him that experience. Everybody was so welcoming with warm open arms for both of the gentlemen who attended on our behalf and just the people in the room were so accepting and wonderful. For Albert the awards massively supported his recovery and he felt that it was an extraordinary opportunity for him to attend the awards and it really did bring home for us what our organisation prides itself on. We want each and every one of our participants to experience the feeling that Albert had throughout the duration of the awards, just to feel accepted and most importantly special. Thankyou very much from all of us here at Victory Hants, we are so overwhelmed and excited about new things to come and you will most definitely be hearing from us soon.

Reader's Digest
● Silence is Golden
A man enters a religious order in which you're only permitted two spoken words a year. At the end of his first year, the head of the order asks him for his two words. As he'd often felt hungry during the year, he whispers, "More food."
By the end of his second year, he'd often felt cold, so when asked for his two words, he replies, "More blankets."
During his third year, he decides he isn't really suited to a silent order. So when he comes before the leader to utter his two words, he admits he hasn't been very happy these past three years, and that he's leaving the order.
"You might as well go," the leader replies. "You've done nothing but complain ever since you arrived." (RD2012, July, p.110)
● The Plight of Elephants in
Elephants who work on the streets have poor health and diets. They're also overworked, cruelly handled and vulnerable to road accidents. They have an expected five-year life span as opposed to the 65-year average.
Elephants involved in illegal logging on the Thai-Burmese border live little better in terms of health and treatment. The use of amphetamines to increase their work rates is reportedly rife.
Trekking elephants in so-called sanctuaries are deliberately underfed to control aggression. The howdahs (chairs) on their backs – used to carry tourists – cause damage to the animals' spines. "The training regimes are based on submission and cruelty."
The use of a sharp metal hook known as an ankus on the animal's most sensitive areas, such as the head , mouth or inner ear, is designed to stab the elephant into submission and break its spirit. Starvation may be added as an extra measure. (RD2012, July, p.46)

Design Resources We Love
This week, I decided to put together a list of interior design resources that have been inspiring me since I moved into the Hayloft space a few weeks ago. Hayloft provides SO much inspiration, but sometimes you need some extra resources to know what to do with all of the beautiful objects that this warehouse puts in front of you. So I decided to share those with you all as well, with some descriptors to guide you to the ones that fit what you're looking for best.
Coming Soon New York is an amazing resource. It has a "Tiger Homes" page that documents interesting young collectors' homes – many of them apartments scattered around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Then, very much up my alley, it has a page that tells you how your astrological sign likes to home-make, and features beautiful objects as examples in the process.
An interior design service, and also a magazine that features design tips! Its Instagram features posts of people's homes who have used their designer's services, so it really is a trove of design inspiration for spaces of every shape, size, lighting and location.
This one is family-oriented, and about living in small New York spaces, sustainably! It features a "Tiny Apartment Survival Tips" segment – now up to #157. Also features fun DIY projects, like, most recently, preserving fall leaves by dipping them in melted beeswax - they look BEAUTIFUL as a mobile in a window or along a white wall.
This is a blog that started from a woman's own design project - her very run down limestone (100+ years old) in Brooklyn. She gives you a full house tour of that space - amazing - and also writes posts on fun DIY projects, design, travel, etc. A Hayloft-esque aesthetic permeates her space; part of the reason I'm hooked.
Inspiring interiors and fun DIYs on how to DISPLAY things tastefully in your home (artwork, liquor, plants, for example) – something that can sometimes prove less intuitive than you might originally have thought. Her Instagram is also a great resource for just that kind of inspiration, if Insta is more your speed than blog-reading.
An well-known/established/respected and amazing resource for everything design: DIY projects, articles about people's homes that just happen to be amazingly cool… It has expanded to include travel, food & drink, and life & business articles, too. So, just an all around entertaining and wonderful resource even if you don't know quite what you're looking for.
Apartment tours of strangers' homes, DIY, design tips and inspiration. A lovely "Small spaces, solved" section that speaks to me; tips for organizing and cleaning (which, let's face it, we ALL need).
Recently featured on our Instagram, this is an amazing business with a flagship store in a small town called Sharon Springs, New York. They got their start just trying it out as farmers after the recession.. then got picked up as a TV show by Discover... and now they turn what their farm produces into incredible wares, and it turns out they have the most lovely design sense. Their website features DIY, entertaining, and design ideas, and their store is just BEAUTIFUL – home decor inspiration all around, including a wall made up of framing (see photo 3).

E-Books, Shmee-Books: Readers Return to the Stores
The book business may not be dead yet. So far Christmas sales have beat expectations and readers are returning to bookstores. Reports indicate that sales "have been lifted by an unusually vibrant selection; customers who seem undeterred by pricier titles; and new business from people who used to shop at Borders, the chain that went out of business this year." According to the American Booksellers Association, independent bookstores saw sales increase "16 percent in the week including Thanksgiving, compared with the same period a year ago."
However, some in the industry fear that the expected holiday sales of new e-readers and tablets from Barnes & Noble and Amazon will derail the return to bookstores. "Nevertheless, booksellers and publishers said they were still hoping that there would be a healthy enough interest in print books that the two formats could coexist."

I feel like I have the best job in the entire world. It is so rewarding getting to know my patients and their families and building trusting relationships. My goal is to make my community feel comfortable coming to urgent care just like they would their primary care provider, knowing I will give them the same personalized, compassionate care. Our unofficial motto here is "A and B" which means above and beyond, which is what every member of our team strives to do for every patient, every day, no matter what.
970 S. Bailey Ave.
South Haven,
Katrina always loved the compassion that nurses are known for. She became a nurse practitioner so that she could do even more for her patients, and she can't imagine working in any other department. Katrina's mother was a big influence in her life and her decision to pursue this career. She is a nurse and would take Katrina to her office for "bring your child to work day," so Katrina knew as a child this was what she wanted to do. The unknown of her job is what excites her- she never knows how many people she will see, what she'll diagnose, what language patients will speak and more. In her free time, Katrina loves being crafty, spending time with her husband and newborn son as well as traveling.

Book Clubs
Book clubs are enjoying the use of Juggling Elephants. Here's a response from one book club leader:
Thank you so very much for your support of our Book Club!
We met this morning on the topic of Juggling Elephants and I can report that the book resonated with all 12 members of the team! The building principals and program directors found it to be an applicable and easy metaphor to follow and everyone reported at least one "Ah Ha!" moment! Additionally, two principals are now thinking about how they can use the text with their staff members and at the High School level they are considering using it with students in the future!
The discussion questions you suggested were great. However, I must admit that we only used about four of them ... the conversation just kept going on its own around those questions!
Let us know if your book club is using our book. We'll work with you to discover ways to make your experience with the book even more successful! E mail is firstname.lastname@example.com

To say that I've been living among gamers and game developers is kind of understatement. I've been sharing a bed with one! Hahaha. But I have never been a gamer myself.
So, since I put some distant with the Algostudio due to my own activities, I dunno anything about the process and progress of Startup Panic, the newest game that is due mid-2019, next year. The team have been buckling down so tenaciously hard the past two years on the art, game play, and content. Back and fro they hired people online to proofread, rewrite, and proofread them all iteratively. All without me involved. Language should be my forte, but I have nothing to do with it.
So, earlier this month, I tried to take a peek on it. I don't play a game, in a literal sense. I realize if i want to get my hands dirty, I have to play it. So i did try. But I played it not to have fun, i use a fine tooth comb scrutiny for minute detail of language error (well, later on you will still find some here and there, mind you), so i didnt get the gist of its fun. I'm still no gamer myself at this point.
That, until yesterday, knowing that I'm a very partial about it and the closest i was to play any is Tetris, my husband enticed me with a similar one on Switch, Tricky Tower. And I've been hooked ever since. (I'm warding myself against impending addiction, mind you.) This might be my game-gate, just like watermelon is my fruit-gate.
Oh well.

You're humming along, enjoying a solid pace, when three quarters of the way to the finish line your calf or hamstring seizes up, stopping you in your tracks. Frustratingly, there's nothing you can do about it but stop, gently stretch, and hope it settles down quickly. Then pray you can resume running without awakening that little sucker!
I've had several clients over the years who've sought my help because they were prone to these types of muscle cramps and I've noticed a few patterns I thought I'd share with you. Mainly it can be summed up with the following statement:
Smaller Muscles That Try To Perform The Role Of Larger Muscles Are Prone To Cramping
No Glutes?
Calves and hamstrings are commonly implicated when cramping strikes because they are [less qualified] substitutes for your glutes. Your glutes (along with your core) should be a primary stabilizer of your pelvis when your foot hits the ground and a primary mover as you toe off.
In other words, your butt needs to be working properly. The glute max is a really powerful muscle and is far larger than your calves and hamstrings. If it's neurally shut down ("inhibited") then you're left to rely on smaller muscles to stabilize your hips and propel you down the road. You won't get very far or go very fast if that's your body's movement strategy.
Put simply, your calves or hamstrings are doing the work of the glutes. That's not fair now, is it?
Simple fix: Foam roll or massage your calves for 30 seconds, then perform a set of 10 bridges before going for a walk or run. I often recommend doing 2 sets a couple times a day so that your brain can learn how to use your glutes better and not rely on the calves so much.
Another relationship that is quite common is that your calves are working for your hip flexors and/or quads. In this case, it's a stability strategy that has gone wrong.
As your foot hits the ground and you get into the stance phase of the running stride, your hip flexors should engage to stabilize your knee, pelvis and spine. When those muscles are not available to the brain, you're body will be in search of something else that can be a stabilizer. The calves are a great temporary option, but not a good long-term strategy.
To visualize this, think of doing a forward lunge. The quads and calves help to slow the body down so that your knee doesn't track too far in front of your toes as you lower into the lunge.
Same thing happens during the running stride. If the hip flexors are not working properly, your calves will be forced to step up and take on the role of one or more hip flexors. Again, you may get away with that for a little while, but raise your mileage or crank the speed and these issues are quickly brought to light – often quite painfully!
Simple fix: Foam roll or massage your calves for 30 seconds, then perform a set of 10 straight leg raises with the opposite knee bent (to protect the back). I often recommend doing 2 sets a couple times a day so that your brain can learn how to use your glutes better and not rely on the calves so much.
**HUGE CAVEAT** If you sit all day and like to wear shoes with an elevated heel, you will have much harder time dealing with this issue than someone who doesn't.
Sitting shuts down your glutes while lifting your heel up tenses the calves (and inhibits the glutes!). Stop that. You can't do a few sets of release and activation and expect to undo your lifestyle habits. Can you stand more often and wear flatter shoes?
Finally, I'd recommend getting assessed so that your unique compensation patterns can be uncovered. These are merely examples of some common relationships. Contact me for more info!

How to ease pain with the alexander technique
Many people, like myself, came to the Technique because of pain. Habits are often the reason for pain.
Melinda's Neck and Back Pain
Melinda had tremendous neck and back pain. She was working in cafes, where the screen of her laptop was about 4 inches lower than her eyes. She was dropping her head towards the laptop to see the screen. Her head became a weight, pulling on her neck and back. After working this way for 6 hours or so, she was in excruciating pain, very irritable, often had a headache, and had to stop working.
Through Alexander lessons with me, Melinda became aware that her habit of allowing her head to drop down was causing a lot of the pain. The laptop had become a stimulus for her to "dump" her head – when she'd start working on the laptop, she dropped her head down. She realized that she could choose not to do this, and learned a better way to work.
Now, Melinda gets more done because she's not in pain. She is proactively preventing pain, and has increased productivity.

In the quest for budget independence, representatives of newly-elected DC Attorney General Karl Racine stopped off at the regular monthly meetings of Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) 2F/Logan Circle on Wednesday, April 1, and 1B/U Street last night, Thursday, April 2.
Representatives of the office pitched a plan that would allow the Attorney General's office to retain up to $20 million annually from settlements and awards it wins as a result of litigation.
"We want to keep some of the food we kill," said Vanessa Natale, chief of the Neighborhood and Victim Services Section of the Attorney General's
Office at ANC2F's meeting.
"What we're asking for is to be more independent," Natale also said.
Natale told the ANC the Attorney General's office was seeking the unusual funding arrangement in part to be able to hire more attorneys. The office currently has 275 attorneys, she said, and it needed another 75 attorneys to bring it up to size that similar offices have in cities of the same size.
The Attorney General's office also wished to strengthen its consumer protection division, she said, and be able to fund a proposed new "affordable housing" division.
Natale also compared the budget of the Attorney General's office -- about $55 million a year, or 1% of the District's overall budget -- with the amount of money the office ("a revenue-generating agency for the District government") takes in. For example, the Attorney General's office won an award of $60-90 million from online hotel companies who were booking hotel rooms without paying appropriate taxes.
A presentation submitted to the ANCs said: "This fiscal year, we project that we will recover or save the District more than a billion dollars."
At the ANC1B meeting last night, attorney Argatonia Weatherington, also of the Neighborhood and Victim Services Section of the Attorney General's
Office, made a similar, but shorter, presentation, emphasizing that the Attorney General's Office sought "more independence" and "more autonomy". The Attorney General's office wished to retain a portion of settlements and awards in order to "expand the organization". Weatherington mentioned hiring 65-75 new attorneys.
The proposal must be approved by the DC Council. Natale said a hearing on the proposal is scheduled for April 22. Weatherington told ANC1B the hearing on April 27.
See a March 30 article from the Washington Post about Racine's proposal here.

Make Or Break Week
By Chris Boothe
Messenger Sports
While most of Houston County has the night off, the Grapeland Sandies can lock themselves in for a playoff berth on Friday night. Meanwhile all three Anderson County teams will be in action, with major playoff implications in each of those games. As the season continues to dwindle down, the games start to carry more and more importance, with this week being no exception. Here is a look at this week's action.
#9 Grapeland Sandies (6-1, 3-0) vs. Colmesneil Bulldogs (1-4, 1-1)
Friday, October 12, 7:00 pm
Sandie Stadium, Grapeland, TX
Funnel cakes, turkey legs, and carnival rides will invade Grapeland this week, but nothing is bigger than the official starter on Friday night when the Sandies host the Colmesneil Bulldogs. Grapeland can officially lock up a playoff spot with a win over Colmesneil and a massive showdown against Lovelady looming next week. First things first, the Sandies have to take care of business against a Bulldog team that has been up and down this year.
Four of the Bulldogs five games this year have been shutouts. Typically, not a bad statistic, except the Bulldogs have been on the wrong end of three shutouts. Between a 36-0 loss to Deweyville and a 66-0 loss to Lovelady, the Bulldogs have seen struggles offensively. Colmesneil did come up big in a 55-0 win over KIPP Houston, and showed signs of life in a 36-27 loss to Mt. Enterprise, but that is about all the offense the Bulldogs have mustered this year.
Grapeland cannot get caught looking ahead, as this is a classic trap game. Between a big game next week, the distractions from homecoming, and a struggling team rolling into town, there are a lot of external factors that the Sandies will have to block out and just focus on their game.
Elkhart Elks (2-4, 1-1) vs. Trinity Tigers (1-5, 0-2)
Friday, October 12, 7:30 pm
Jerry Ives Memorial Stadium, Elkhart, TX
m, Elkhart, TX
There are need to win games, and there are must win games. This game classifies as a must win for the Elkhart Elks if they have any interest in being a playoff team this season. While Elkhart will not lock up a playoff spot with a win, the Elks can gain a huge end of season tiebreaker over the Tigers with a victory.
First Elkhart must shake off a tough 48-0 loss to Franklin on Friday night. The Lions are a top ranked team for a reason, and showcased their abilities against the Elks. Despite the loss, the Elks are very much alive in the playoff hunt and a win over Trinity will go a long way to finding their way into the postseason.
Trinity has lost two straight games to open district play. First it was a 57-21 shellacking by Crockett, followed by a 35-0 blanking by Coldspring to put the Tigers in a dubious 0-2 hole. Now to salvage their playoff hopes, and put a dent in the Elks chances, Trinity will need to pull off the win.
Palestine Wildcats (2-3, 0-0) vs. Henderson Lions (3-2, 0-0)
Friday, October 12, 7:30 pm
Lion Stadium, Henderson, TX
In what feels like ages, the Palestine Wildcats will finally kick off district play on Friday night. That is a bittersweet feeling for many teams in the District of Doom. While the hopes and dreams for a playoff berth are alive and well for everyone, the week in and week out grind will be a true test for all five teams.
Palestine will open district play against a Henderson team that was among the final eight in Texas last season. So far this year the Lions have held their own against a challenging schedule, including defending champion Pleasant Grove. Henderson will play their third home game of the year, where they are already a perfect 2-0 with wins over Jacksonville and Rusk.
Westwood Panthers (1-4, 0-1) vs. #6 Franklin Lions (4-1, 2-0)
Friday, October 12, 7:30 pm
Panther Stadium, Palestine, TX
The Westwood Panthers struggled in their district opener, falling to Anderson County rival Elkhart. After a week to rest and recover, the Panthers will now welcome the sixth ranked Franklin Lions to town for a district showdown. Franklin is coming off a big win of their own over Elkhart and looking to remain perfect in district play.
Since suffering their first and only loss this year, the Lions have posted three consecutive shutouts starting with an impressive 21-0 win over Mart. Their first two district games, Franklin has won by a combined score of 109-0. In their fourth win of the year, Franklin gave up just six points in a 50-6 win over Hearne to open the season.

Across the Gulf coast helicopters are scanning the shoreline for oil while a mile undersea the work to plug BP's well is picking up speed. Pressure in the well is still rising and there's no talk of collecting oil anymore, just stopping it for good, reports CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella.
"You have to prioritize what you are going to do and obviously getting that pipe into the relief well is the most important item we are working on," said Thad Allen.
Special Section: Disaster in the Gulf
Crews will finish stacking a mile of steel pipe down to the sea floor around midnight. Then they'll remove a temporary plug called a storm packer, clear out the tunnel and lay a final segment of steel casing - a liner - to reinforce the well followed by concrete. While the concrete is drying, BP could try the static kill, pumping mud down into the blown out well, a temporary fix.
"The next week will be preps making sure everything is ready to go and get the liner run," said Allen. "Then the week of the first of August is when we will attempt to do the static kill."
It still has to be sealed deep in the earth with the relief well to be permanently plugged. Millions of gallons of oil from BP's spill are still in the water and the weekend storm pushed all of it north closer to the Gulf shoreline. It hit a Grand Isle beach late Friday just as workers were clearing out. They're not due back until Tuesday.
A long row of pilings were put in place to hold steel barges in order to block the oil. Those barges are still tied up next to shore and it could be a week before the wall is rebuilt.
In Mississippi, out-of-work fishermen are preparing to go back on the water to look for oil again. Gulf coast fisherman Barry Rando just wants to work.
"Because there is no oystering and no shrimping right now and that was our way of living," says Rando. "Anything BP can throw at us we'll take it."
That work could become more scarce soon. Even before this storm boats were finding less and less oil to skim. If that's still the case once they finish these over flights, the Coast Guard and BP will take a second look and could scale back the number of boats and people helping to clean up.

At this point it should come as no surprise that I love to collect and wear silk scarves more than any other accessory in my wardrobe.As you've heard me say countless times, theres just something so classic and chic about silk scarves that I can't get enough of. Whether I'm wearing one in my hair, around my neck or on my handbag, I think theres rarely an outfit that can't be made better with the addition of a silk scarf. Beyond their beautiful prints and intricate designs, I think silk scarves are a wonderful way to update even your most basic pieces - allowing you to get more wear out of them without anyone being the wiser.Needless to say, this love affair of silk scarves has translated into a small collection that I am excited to share with you now. Below, I've outlined each of the pieces that make up my collection along with where I purchased them so that you can find your perfect silk scarf too. 7 Small-Medium Square Silk Scarves In total, I have 11 silk scarves - 7 of which are small-medium and square so let's start there.First up, is the bright pink number you see to the left. I purchased this light, chiffon silk scarf at ABC Home & Carpet in the city and couldn't be happier with it. As you can see, it's a vibrant shade of pink and is made of the lightest chiffon so that it isn't uncomfortable to wear in the warmer weather.Next up is a small Chanel scarf that I purchased at Century 21 a few years ago. I love this scarf for it's simplistic design and almost monochromatic feel. My favorite way to wear it is with a bold blouse so that the grey, black and white can really shine.Along the same lines as the Chanel scarf are two great vintage Ralph Lauren polka-dot scarves that I purchased from a great seller on Etsy. The navy and cream polka-dot one is a lightweight chiffon silk that I love for the warmer months, and the cream and red one is heavier weight silk that I love to wear during the cooler months. My next medium sized scarf is a lovely vintage one that I picked up on Etsy and love for it's unique design. What I love about this scarf is that despite the neutral color palette (navy, white, black, maroon) it features a whimsical print like this scarf that further enhances the whimsy of an already great piece.My sixth scarf is another vintage Ralph Lauren that I also purchased on Etsy for a very reasonable price. This scarf, which has a lovely floral pattern is one of my favorites. The last of my medium sized scarves is another lightweight chiffon option from Etsy that features the loveliest nautical print - I found a similar one here. Beyond just the incredible nautical pattern, I love the vibrant but classic shades of red, green, white and blue. 4 Large Square Silk Scarves For large silk scarves I have four options that I love. The first, is a classic olive green shade with timeless chainlink pattern (note: I recommend starting with a neutral colored, chainlink patterned scarf if you're just beginning your foray into silk scarves). I purchased this scarf from the now closed C.Wonder and have been incredibly pleased with the quality and design. Unfortunately, C.Wonder shuttered a bit ago and after making the move to QVC, their scarves are now made from polyester. That said, I encourage you to scour eBay if you're looking for one of their original iterations.My next large scarf is by Tiffany and is one I purchased from TheRealReal.com - a wonderful online retailer of second-hand and vintage goods. Beyond their incredible array of inventory, TheRealReal also does a phenomenal job of vetting their goods and guaranteeing authenticity - which I love because it removes the burden from the seller. Next up, is another Etsy buy and scarf that I wear constantly. This scarf (the "La Promenade De Longchamps") was my first Hermes purchase and has the most beautiful blue, gold, brown and green equestrian print. When I first became interested in silk scarves Hermes was unsurprisingly a brand that came up time and time again as the leader of the block and their scarves are undeniably gorgeous and well made.That said though, Hermes scarves purchased at retail can be quite a bit of money to fork over for an accessory so I encourage you to shop second-hand. For this particular scarf I shopped eBay and was careful to purchase from a trusted seller and then authenticate the scarf myself before buying. I'm working on a post and video about how I second-hand and vintage shop so I'll stop there for now, but can't emphasize enough the importance of authenticating any designer purchase you make before you buy.My last large silk scarf is also by Hermes (it's the "Le Jardin de Leila") and is another that I purchased from TheRealReal.com. As you can see in the picture above, this scarf features varying shades of blue on a white background. The final effect is the perfect amount of color for a neutral look and if you're looking for a scarf that you can wear with the most items I would recommend that you look for one with 1-2 main colors. That way, you can easily mix-and-match it until you become more comfortable with pattern and color mixing.That's everything! Those are the 11 scarves that I'm lucky enough to have in my personal collection. If you're interested, I've also filmed a corresponding video which shows each scarf in more detail that you can view below. Also, I have linked some of my favorite silk scarves available now in case you're on the hunt for a great option to gift someone special or add to your own collection. Before I go, I'd love to know if you have any silk scarves and what they look like. What are some of your favorite ways to wear them? Let me know in the comments down below and thank you for stopping by! Until next time,Audrey

Ritual for Offering and Receiving Nourishment/
from jayakula.org
"Your body" is in nite. It does not end at your skin. When we enjoy healthy, nourishing food that is satisfying to the senses, all beings feel enjoyment. When we are nourished, all other beings are nourished. When we express the desire for the liberation of all beings, ourselves and all beings benefit.
The correct orientation while performing this ritual is that you are Self offering to Self. Self offers nourishment to Self and then receives the offered food from Self. This is natural devotion expressed through the activities of everyday life.
Before each meal, take a moment to offer your food, and the nourishment and enjoyment derived from your food, to all beings. First, when you are seated at the table, preparing to eat, take a moment to make contact with the food.
See the beauty of what you are about to consume.
Smell the beauty arising from what you are about to consume.
Feel the heat or notice the tactile qualities of what you are about to consume. Hear any sounds associated with what you are about to consume.
Second, offer this nourishment to all beings by saying either aloud or mentally:
May this food nourish all beings.
May this food be enjoyed by all beings.
May all beings be free.
The ritual of reciprocity expresses the natural devotion of Self to Self. This ritual attunes you to the movement of manifest life toward moksha and establishes you greater awareness of interbeing.

There's a "syndrome" called ACOA – are you familiar with it? It means Adult Child of Alcoholic, or, as experience has taught me, Adult (or teen) Child of any Addict.
I came across it years ago, before I trained actually. Before I really understood what alcoholism was, or how common it is. I was lucky, I know. Since then I've learned how the idea of ACOA as a collection of "habits" really helps to explain a lot of the thought patterns and behaviours that thousands of adults experience and struggle with every day – every hour maybe. And the people who love them struggle too.
And I do like when things, y'know, make sense. Even if they seem utterly inexplicable or illogical at first.
So that's why I wrote this piece for Family Friendly. It might just resonate with you, and if it does, know that there is support. There are ways to unlearn what you have learned – if you want to!

Along highway 189 in Twin Peaks, California you can enjoy and abundance of bright yellow daffodils and take in the beauty that every petal has to offer. Now known as " Julies Project " beginning in 1999, Julie, her husband Tom and many other surrounding neighbors planted thousands of daffodils as Julie fought a brave battle with breast cancer. Julie passed away after her long fight in 2001. These beautiful daffodils are a significant reminder of the bravery Julie had and her courageous fight to beat this horrific disease as many other have and still do.

James Bay: "My advice for Jack Garratt? Be nice…" (Q359)
James Bay has handed over the Critics Choice Awardnhe won at last year's Brits to 2016 recipient Jack Garratt with some advice for the newcomer.
Both artists feature in our new issue – Q359 out now in print and on digital – with Bay answering readers' inquiries in this month's Cash For Questions.
Here's a bonus question Bay tackled, which didn't make it into the issue, what advice would he give Jack Garratt?
"I'm a fan of Jack's music," he tells Q's Paul Stokes. "What I've learned is the thing that gets you furthest is being a nice person. You can be as bold, forthright, timid as you want but if you're genuine to people – whether you're putting your foot down or doing someone a favour – it doesn't cost you anything to be nice and it gets you further than being a dick something.
"We're all lucky to do this, I know that sounds all wholesome but it's true. Wholesomeness doesn't go down well with the Brits does it? In America they'd go 'Ah that's lovely...', but whatever, it's true!"
Get Q now for the full Cash For Questions with James Bay, including his thoughts on cereal, Star Wars, dams, hats and more, plus we also have a full feature with Jack Garratt.

Weekly Wooot -- Crystal Antlers, Wallpaper, Tussle and more
Shit gets started tonight with French Miami at Rickshaw Stop -- for $8 the funemployed have no excuses.
Crystal Antlers are sure to slay it on Thursday, and Friday is just an unbelievable plethora of options... Our vote is for Wallpaper's appearance at Blow Up, but the Datarock/Woodhands and Telepathe/Hawney Troof shows are both solid calls.
Saturday is also stacked with a Club 6 basement gurp fest featuring Lazer Sword/Ghosts on Tape/Sleepyhead, along with some more rockin' options.
Sunday we got the must-see Tussle rocking out for FREE at the Haight Street Fair followed by a great local-heavy party at Thee Parkside.
If you still have it in you, be sure to check out locally hyped Casy and Brian $3 show Monday. And for the fanboys, Gene Ween announced a second show at the Independent for Tuesday, and it looks like tickets are still to be had.
06.10 (Wed)
French Miami, By Sunlight, Silian Rail @ Rickshaw Stop
For $8, French Miami @ Rickshaw Stop is the move. They have a dancey post-punk style that could work at a house party, but blend it with a big rock sound that I could see translating real well to stage. Think more Fucking Champs than Liars, but still something you can get sweaty jumping and moving too. They also throw in some harmonizing anthems, which we all know is the shit.
Have not seen them live, but word is they kill it… pretty high hopes for this one.
*Confirmed -- they blew us away.
Secret Chiefs, Kayo Dot @ Great American
Secret Chiefs (ex- Mr. Bungle) are at Great American Music Hall…. meh.
Full Disclosure: I listened to nothing but Patton projects for a good chunk of my early teens, and always blamed the SC3 faction for the breakup. Probably a big part of the reason I never really got into them… That said, their sound is huge and skill level pretty stunning. If it is your thing, the live show will no doubt be great (these dudes put out LIVE dvds!). If you don't know them, Wikipedia it first… the range in their discography is too massive to gleam from myspace.
06.11 (Thu)
Love Is All, Farewell Typewriter, Still Flyin @ Bottom of the Hill
Sweden's Love is All is at Bottom of the Hill... the Yeah Yeah Yeah's comparison gets thrown around a lot with these guys, but they definitely have their own sound. Well worth a listen -- could be a fun show
The Constantines, Crystal Antlers, I Was a King @ Rickshaw Stop
Rickshaw Stop has a solid night with Constantines and the excellent Crystal Antlers.
Seems like Crystal Antlers went from the poster child to the whipping boy of the alt-bro community between their EP and full length. Seriously, someone wrote this shit:
"It's a frustrating representation of what a tightrope their sort of exorcism music is: 'Parting Song For The Torn Sky' seemed a cataclysm a year ago, subverting its own sadness into triumph, guitars shattering while Johnny Bell stood atop their smoldering debris manifesting his heavily-filtered guts; 'Memorized,' despite the same car wreck dynamics and inaudible shrieks, sounds almost like a capitulating whine in comparison." (1)
...yeaah okaaaaaay
Truth be told, these dudes just rock. It is garage meets psych meets noise… very approachable, very listenable. The buzz is that the live show is hot, so would recommend making this if you can.
Limp Wrist, Hunx And His Punx, Brilliant Colors @ Eagle Tavern
Eagle Tavern has the first of a few solid summer Thursday Nite Live shows with Queercore legends Limp Wrist. This is raw hardcore, and could be pretty sweet.
06.12 (Fri)
DATAROCK, Woodhands @ The Independent
The Independent has the always entertaining Datarock.
Really a shame Wallpaper is not sharing the bill with these guys (which they do Saturday night in LA)… SF fans are forced to choose between two different tongue-in-cheek electro hipster dance parties in one night. Bum out!
Whether you know them by name or not, it is pretty much guaranteed that you have heard (and liked) Fa Fa Fa. It was on every commercial, video game and dj set for a bit, and is kinda the jam.
Toronto's Woodhands are opening. These dudes sound promising – as cheesy as it sounds, their Katy Perry cover kinda bangs when the chorus drops. Bonus points: they rock a keytar.
The Rapture (dj set) @ Mighty
Mighty has a tease of a night… keep seeing flyers that say THE RAPTURE in 600px followed by (dj set) in 6px. While it is a dj set, these guys always throw down, so you got another fun option there.
$10 presale:
Telepathe, hawnay troof, Nite Jewel @ Bottom of the Hill
Bottom of the Hill also has a nice night with Telepathe. These ladies have earned a lot of well deserved hipster cred… If you don't know them, their remix friendly "Chrome's on It" is a great starting point.
Nite Jewel and Oakland's overlooked gem Hawnay Troof roundout the bill.
Wallpaper @ Rickshaw Stop
Wallpaper is playing the Blow Up party at Rickshaw Stop, which is a guaranteed great time. This is a rare act that can share a stage with Boys II Men and Flostradamus over the course a couple months, and get a positive reaction from both fan bases. Frontman "Ricky Reed" (Eric from Facing New York/Locale AM) lays down pure sex auto-tuned vocals over pure sex electro beats, both held together by the tight live drums of Arjun Singh.
Honestly, these guys are some hot shit – while hugely entertaining, they lead with their music, managing to hold your interest well after the novelty wears off.
Also, their video for T-Rex is fucking awesome:
06.13 (Sat)
Thee Oh Sees, Jay Reatard @ The Independent
The Independent has local favorites Thee Oh Sees, who recently received a well-deserved favorable Pitchfork review. If unfamiliar, Thee Oh Sees make sweet garage/folk tinged rock and are well worth a listen.
Jay Reatard – who has one of the more daunting discographies in 'the scene' – will be headlining the night.
Lazer Sword, Ghosts on Tape, Sleepyhead, Planet Asia, +more (Veni Vidi Vici) @ Club 6
Club 6 monthly Veni Vidi Vici party has a real solid lineup with epicsauce favorites Lazer Sword gurping out the basement alongside Ghosts On Tape (who does electronic music a bizarrely hard way) and the fucking raw sounds of Sleepyhead (dude kills it).
Word is Lazer Sword/Ghosts on Tape are doing a joint set – that shit could be real epic.
The party has a grip of other acts rocking out the other two rooms, but the basement is where you will want to be… be warned though, shit could get weird.
Get the $10 presale tickets while you can.
Au Revoir Simone, The Antlers @ Bimbos 365 Club
Bimbo's has a solid night of pretty indie pop / slow jams with Au Revoir Simone and The Antlers. If you can survive the journey into the depths of North Beach on a Saturday night, and are looking for something a little chiller and less rockin' than the above, it is most definitely the move.
06.14 (Sun)
Casy and Brian, no babies, Boys IV Men, The Press Fire, Awesomes @ Thee Parkside
Thee Parkside has a sweet mostly local show with Casy and Brian, no babies, Boys IV Men, The Press Fire and Awesomes.
Along with Oakland's stellar Religious Girls, the locally buzzed Casy and Brian are helping to define an updated basement-friendly Bay Area scene. It's a sound that at times feels like SFs version of the excellent shit coming out of LA's institution The Smell.
Drum heavy and with clear punk/dancehall roots, the duo bumps out sporadic jams that will make you want to move. It's raw, minimalist and certainly not for everyone, but be sure to give them a listen. As mentioned, the bill is rounded out with a few other local and non-local acts with a similar take on this vibe (also real excited for Boys IV Men). Should be a great show.
Tussle, Hot Tub, (+more) @ Haight Street Fair
No excuses… go see the epicsauce favorite Tussle at the Haight Street Fair (FREE). Myspace says they go on the "Masonic Stage" at 3:30.
SF's Tussle is everything that is fucking awesome about early 80s post-punk, yet with a foot firmly set in the more contemporary DFA-esque scene. Dancey ass shit, but think more solid rhythmic grooves than face-melting bangers.
And while an outdoor stage at 3:30 is probably not the optimal venue to see them (i.e. not a dark low ceilinged room where the trio rocks out on the same level as the crowd), it should still be a solid affair.
Still trying to lock down more info on the lineup.. looks like Hot Tub will be there as well. Check back for more info as the week progresses.
Warning: If it is anything like two years ago, this seems to be the only truly enforced alcohol ban in the city. Hide your shit.
06.15 (Mon)
Casy and Brian @ Triple Crown (old Octavia Lounge)
Triple Crown (old Octavia Lounge on Market) has the previously profiled Casy and Brian headlining their bi-monthly Wigwam party – word is tickets are only $3. If you are looking to rock out on a Monday, this is definitely the spot to be.
06.16 (Tue)
Gene Ween (day 1) @ The Independent
The Independent added another Gene Ween date -- get tickets while you can, as this will most certanly sell out (the wed show has been for a bit).

May is mental health awareness month. In honor of such an important cause, I wanted to write a post directly to those struggling with mental health issues. So often mental illness is stigmatized, leading those that struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or eating disorders to name a few, to feel isolated and alone. Let's work together towards eliminating the stigma, creating means for open communication, and letting go of judgement towards others and ourselves. To those of you reading this, who feel alone or stigmatized because of a diagnosis, this is for you.
You are not defined by your mental illness. Let me say that once more, because unfortunately we live in a world where very often you are told the exact opposite of this. You are not defined by your mental illness. You are not the "bipolar one in the family," you are someone living with bipolar disorder. You are not defined by your anxiety, you are a person who is living with anxiety. You are not just a "depressed person," you are someone who has depression, as well as may other parts of themselves that add up to equal a whole person. You are not anorexic, you are someone struggling with anorexia. You are more than just a label.
We are whole. We are diverse. We are unique. While mental health issues can feel like they take over a large part of your existence, especially when they are more present than not, they are still not all of you. You are still a daughter, a son, a mother, a father, a wife, a husband, a partner, a parent, a sibling, a cousin, a friend, a person.
While on the surface this may sound like just semantics, it is so much deeper than that. So often we define ourselves by the things that have happened in our lives, by the issues we face, the job we have, the way we look. But what if we look deeper than that? What if we are more than a label? Ultimately the interpretation is up to us, so why limit ourselves, or place judgement on ourselves based on one part of a whole?
For some, a diagnosis of mental illness can be a relief, an explanation as to why we feel the way we do. A comfort in knowing that we are not alone, that there is a definition to what we are experiencing. But to others, this becomes a definition of the whole self. Some may lose their sense of identity in this label, forgetting that they are made up of so many intricate parts that make them beautifully whole.
The choice of how you define yourself is up to you. You can choose to recognize your mental health issues as a part of you, rather than all of you. You can be more than your struggles. You can choose to view your challenges as what makes you strong and resilient. The next time you hear someone define you or someone else as anything with an "ic" following the word (like bulimic or dyslexic) or a diagnosis in general, consider rephrasing this idea for them, as your words may be more impactful than you realize. You may be the first person to help them recognize that they are more than just their mental illness, they are whole, just as you are.

text: One of the most educational and heart-felt seminars I have ever attended. To now be equipped with specific effective skills to transform relationships through grief recovery is a true gift. Laura presents material in an interactive and easy to follow format. Her compassion and appreciation for this program is present in every lesson she teaches. Her story is simply inspirational. I feel grateful beyond belief that I have learned the myths of grief and that keeping my heart at the center of this journey remains the focus of the completion process. After completing my relationship, I instantly felt emotionally lighter, brighter, and more hopeful. This program is 100% worth the investment! Laura is amazing!- Trish Magnotta, Ocean, NJ

A week after Toyota announced redundancies at its Altona plant in Melbourne, Holden confirmed the loss of 100 casual jobs at its manufacturing plant in Adelaide. Holden chief Mike Devereux said the cuts were unavoidable, as the strong Australian dollar had hindered opportunities for growth in exports. He was unequivocal about the need for financial support from the government, telling ABC Radio that the company "will not be able to do business in Australia without the Australian governments [federal and state] investing along with the auto industry".
Devereux's comments further fuel the debate around the viability of the manufacturing industry and its role in the Australian economy. But respectable economic opinion, from the Reserve Bank of Australia, Productivity Commission, Treasury and financial market commentators, have observed the continuing decline of manufacturing industry in Australia with cool detachment. It is, they argue, an example of inexorable "structural change", by which productive inputs are re-allocated to the resource sector to achieve a higher return. Such sanguine attitudes reflect a profound misunderstanding of manufacturing as a producer and user of advanced technologies, and the drastic consequences its decline will have on the Australian economy.
Many arguments have been advanced to identify the importance of manufacturing in the economic life of nations. These include defence (especially relevant with the decline of the domestic steel, oil refining and tyre industries); food security (from 2005 to 2010 exports of processed food decreased by 0.6% per annum and imports increased by 10% per annum - if these growth rates are maintained Australia will be a net importer of processed food by 2018); and the "resource curse", which is marked by large income disparities across regions, regional separatism and boom-bust economic growth. Norway, Canada and Brazil are the exceptions that prove the rule by having policies that both develop their vast natural resources and maintain a diversified industrial base.
Manufacturing and innovation
However, the most important argument is that made by economic historians and historians of science, of the mutual dependence and interaction between manufacturing industry, science and technology. These linkages have become even closer as innovation has become increasingly important in the competitive strategies of manufacturing firms, and this innovation is increasingly based on exploiting the scientific frontier. Australian manufacturing uses and invests in a remarkably wide range of technologies and research such as biotech, nanotech, electronics, composites, metallurgy, industrial chemistry, robotics and advanced computing for its production processes.
The car industry is an excellent case in point. Only 13 countries in the world have an integrated car industry capable of all stages of car production - from design to showroom. Each of these countries financially supports their industry through mechanisms such as tariffs, tax holidays on car industry profits, production subsidies, government procurement policies, investment subsidies and support for R&D. They do this precisely because modern vehicle production underpins a sophisticated and integrated industrial structure, including high specification steel, advanced alloy casting, electronics, chemicals, plastics and advanced computing and machining. It is not just the stimulus to science and engineering; the car industry continues to be at the leading edge in supply chain management and work organisation. (Consider Just-in-Time production and Toyota Quality Assurance systems).
For these reasons, there is intense competition from developed and developing nations to attract and retain car industry investment. Australia has long abandoned high tariffs, but continues to support the industry by subsidising investment in car design, new production facilities and R&D. By international standards, this support is minimal. The US government spends $260 per head of population on the automobile industry compared to just $18 per head in Australia.
Incentives for government investment
Without manufacturing, there will be fewer scientific and engineering jobs (and TAFE-trained technicians) and, indirectly, fewer jobs in firms that provide consulting services to manufacturers. Why should the Australian taxpayer support public investment in science, engineering and R&D through CSIRO, Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and Cooperative Research Centres when manufacturing - as a major user of this investment - no longer exists? Why would the taxpayer continue to support universities training scientists and engineers and fund university research when the benefits of this research are being reaped increasingly by overseas firms? The Chinese solar panel industry serves as a telling example.
Mining cannot fill the technological gap left by a shrunken manufacturing base. First, almost all of the sophisticated manufactured and design inputs into mining are imported. According to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics, annual sales of local "innovative" consulting and software services and equipment to the Australian and overseas mining industry is a paltry $9 billion, or just over 2.2% of total annual manufacturing sales. Second, the rapid expansion in mining R&D has been questioned by Lateral Economics CEO Nick Gruen and the Australian Business Foundation, who suggest mining production activity is claimed as research. Supporting this is the fact that despite having similar total expenditure on business R&D, mining R&D employs just 4000 persons in total, compared to over 17000 in manufacturing.
There is something profoundly postmodern about the indifference of orthodox economists to the maintenance of broad-based technological capacity in Australia. There is a cost - indeed, a high cost - in maintaining this capacity, but the cost of letting this capacity wane will surely be higher.

I just put in an order for 4 packs of trading card sleeves for a Project to be Named Later. All four packs together were $1.95.
Shipping and handling was $2.11. Cost more to mail 'em to me than it did to buy 'em. Granted, given that there are 100 sleeves in a pack that's a whole extra .5275 cents per sleeve, and if I were ordering in quantity I could get free shipping…still. It's silly. I was tempted to buy more sleeves soley to have a purchase that cost more than its shipping.
