Sarah Treleaven seeks out someone who has gained wisdom and insight into how to live a happier, more fulfilling existence and gets their best advice.
This time: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that hits during the fall and winter months. Here, Dr. Jonathan Prousky, Chief Naturopathic Officer at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, discusses how SAD affects the lives of Canadians, and how nutrition and botanical medicines can be used to eliminate symptoms.
Q: Let's start from the beginning. What is naturopathy and why is it relevant?
A: Naturopathic medicine is a branch of medicine that is a regulated health profession that uses various modalities to treat and prevent illness. Those modalities include everything from orthomolecular medicine to botanical medicine to lifestyle counseling and even homeopathy.
Q: What is orthomolecular medicine?
A: It's a new paradigm in treating patients, and it's phenomenal because you're using nutrients and natural substances that are found in the body – like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids – to not just prevent disease but also treat disease. When your doctor treats you for a headache, he might give you aspirin. When an orthomolecular practitioner treats you for SAD, he or she can use a variety of different substances to eliminate the symptoms. We used to think of nutrition, or orthomolecular substances, as just a way to treat deficiencies, but now it's using nutrition in the way that we use drugs to help people.
Q: How is it differentiated from the more conventional medical field?
A: About two-thirds of naturopathic medicine is similar to mainstream medicine. Where it diverges is in its philosophy, and that's a fundamental difference. Instead of treating a symptom, naturopathic doctors try to address all of the different causes of the underlying illness and help somebody improve their health or prevent disease.
Q: What is SAD?
A: SAD [is a form of depression] that occurs during the fall and winter season, and the symptoms remit once the season is over. But people shouldn't think about treating SAD just during fall and winter; they should find someone who can prescribe them natural substances to eliminate it. Even though SAD has very defined criteria, I do think people should be thinking about what they can do all year round to reduce those symptoms.
Q: What are the major symptoms?
A: People tend to feel low-energy and not want to get out of bed; they have depression; they tend to overeat and have weight issues; and they just have this persistent sense of malaise and lack of wellness. To me, it definitely needs to be treated. It's something that people try to do on their own, but I don't think they can actually help themselves.
Q: What about your sex drive?
A: When someone has SAD, their libido, desire for sex and even their ability to perform sex is going to be affected.
Q: If you suspect you have SAD, what should you do?
A: If you have SAD you should find a qualified orthomolecular practitioner who can evaluate you and in doing the evaluation the doctor would try to individually find different substances in the body, like vitamins and minerals, to help your condition. One of the most commonly used substances is vitamin D3, which is in the news now. We know that the levels of vitamin D in the blood tend to decline during the winter season, and, at that point, people who are very vulnerable to SAD can have a depressive episode.
When we look at SAD, we know that serotonin metabolism can be affected, and one of the good orthomolecular substances to increase serotonin levels in the brain is something known as 5HTP (5 Hydroxy Tryptophan). It's an over-the-counter substance that's naturally found in the body. Serotonin is a feel-good neurotransmitter; it has antidepressant affects, reduces cravings for carbohydrates, makes us feel better about ourselves, and so it's an important substance.
Another great supplement that can be prescribed is fish oil. And, again, that's all over the news these days. Fish oils have a very interesting compound in them called EPA – it's an Omega 3 fatty acid. It's naturally found in the body, but you can't really generate enough for it to have an effect on depression.
Q: What about light therapy?
A: I often ask patients if during the fall and winter season they get more depressed, and then I ask if, because it's dark out, they feel that the depression increases. Clearly, there is a relationship between light and someone feeling good, and darkness and someone feeling bad. We know that if we expose people to bright light – because some of the belief about seasonal affective disorder is that there's a deficiency of good, bright light – in the morning for anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes every day, that could help reduce the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder.
Q: What about proper nutrition?
A: That's just part of overall good health. Someone has to have a very good diet before these substances are going to have a maximal benefit. If someone's eating crap, then these substances won't have the same effect. In terms of dietary advice, someone should eat a diet that has lots of different colors in it; non-perishable foods are very important – you want to use foods that actually have an expiration date and not something that can survive a nuclear war; lots of fruits and vegetables, and particularly dark green leafy vegetables; you want to avoid saturated fats; drink plenty of water; and reduce refined sugars. That can go a long way toward helping people.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday rejected a White House offer to avoid the "fiscal cliff" that would include $1.6 trillion in tax increases, $400 billion in spending cuts and a more permanent increase in the debt ceiling, Republican aides said.
Aides said the offer was made by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Rob Nabors, a top White House adviser, during their meeting with Republican leaders in the Capitol.
While the Obama administration described the offer as reducing the deficit by $4 trillion over 10 years, Republicans told The Hill its tax increases amount to $600 billion more than what the Democratic-led Senate passed earlier this year when it approved legislation that would allow tax rates on top earners to rise.

PILA's football goal posts are used by:
Preferred supplier of goal posts to:
We have supplied goal posts to A-League club's including Sydney FC, Brisbane Roar, Central Coast Mariners, Newcastle Jets and the Western Sydney Wanderers.
Why Should I Buy PILA Football Goal Posts?
PILA's football goal posts are Australian Made using high quality Australian grade aluminium. Metals not meeting Australian Standards are sub-standard. They can be weak or ill-formed and this can lead to metal fatigue or failure.
Poor quality castings for corners are seen often on imported goal posts, as are zinc plated bolts and nuts. PILA only uses high-performance structural aluminium corners on our goal posts and all parts are either marine grade stainless steel or hot dipped galvanised. They won't rust.
When you buy an imported goal post, you have no control over quality, warranty, servicing or spare parts. Often the company re-selling an imported goal post can't help as they are just a middle man, not a goal post manufacturer. They are not experts.
If football goal post's you are considering purchasing seem like a bargain, ask the supplier:
- Are the goal posts imported and where are they manufactured?
- Are there rigidity supports inside the extrusion (not just plain round tube)?
- Are there are extruded net tracks in the entire frame (not tracks screwed on)?
- Are the corners are cast or made from welded structural aluminium?
- Are any of the frame or component's made from steel (they shouldn't be)?
- Are the parts and bolts marine grade stainless and hot dipped galvanised (not zinc)?
- What is the warranty length? And how long do I have to wait for spare parts?
- Are my goals built to Australian Standards? Show me the certificate of compliance.
PILA's prices are extremely competitive and our products are world class. Our clients are our reputation and PILA goal posts are used by more than 75% of Australian stadiums.

Thank you for all your help and for making our Wedding at The Out Barn fantastic! It was perfect
Staying in the 'honeymoon barn' was the icing on the cake. It's beautiful.
Thank you for everything – our day was so special
Thanks for all you did to make our day so perfect! It was just the best day ever. The venue was just stunning and we loved every second of it!!
All our guest commented on how much they loved The Out Barn experience.
Please pass on our thanks to everyone who helped in any way, the day ran so smoothly!
Thank you once again!
"My sister, Sarah got married at your venue on Saturday and I just wanted to say what a fantastic place you have created there with amazing views and with the weather being so nice, it made the whole day simply fabulous so thank you for keeping everything running so smoothly during the reception. It's a real credit to both of you and your staff for the hard work you have put in to making the venue such a fantastic place for a wedding."
Thanks to the immaculate professionalism of all at The Out Barn and all at Absolute Hog Roast, we enjoyed a seamlessly successful event yesterday.
Everyone involved performed outstandingly well. From the great organisation of Chris and her team at The Out Barn, to the delicious food served by Absolute Hog Roast's chefs and team.
The location of the Out Barn is breathtakingly stunning and so very discrete, the perfect beautiful location for private functions.
"BEST WEDDING EVER !!! Just wanted to say a big thank you to you all – my brother got married here yesterday – what A day !! what a great Venue and what lovely people looking after us all – food was a amazing too ! – you have a very special place"
"What an amazing place !! thanks so much for all your hard work yesterday !!!"
"I would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Clough Bottom!! Especially Chris you were amazing!! We had the best day ever the venue was just beautiful!!!
To anyone thinking of booking your wedding here I would recommend 110%"
Ben and I had our wedding at The Out Barn at Clough bottom in May. We had been looking for months at various venues across the area but there were none that suited the ideas of our dream wedding. We wanted a beautiful venue that we could put our own stamp on and organise ourselves down to the last detail making it unique to us and as far away from a 'package' wedding as possible.
We heard from a friend about The Out Barn and as we don't live locally my mum went to visit-Ben and I didn't even see the venue but upon my mums reaction we booked right away! And we weren't disappointed! The venue is stunning, it is modern, finished with the finest quality yet they have managed to keep all the country features and charm. Jane, Harry and the team were so helpful from the start and answered any and all of my many questions! Jane offered help and advice on local suppliers and ensured the smooth running of things throughout the run up to our day.
Although it rained through the afternoon of our day the venue looked incredible, and we didn't even notice! We managed to get a few photos on the lawn with that amazing view in the background and the lighting of the main room during our evening reception really set the atmosphere. We had an amazing day and the guests haven't stopped talking about it. Thanks again Jane, Harry and team we hope to be invited to another wedding or event at Clough Bottom soon!
"We were all staggered by The Out Barn, its design taking every advantage of what must be one of the most beautiful sites in the Ribble Valley through its glazed Southern aspect"
"Our requirements for the reception were admirably catered for. A magnificent room for the Wedding Breakfast and all the festivities that followed."
Guests "mingled and chatted in the afternoon sun, some played croquet and lawn darts on the newly mown grass area. No-one had been to a venue like it!"
"After speeches and the Wedding Breakfast in The Out Barn dusk fell and the building took on a magical atmosphere with family and guests dancing on the dance floor or sitting and relaxing outside listening to the music."
Firstly, thank you for an amazing wedding. Everybody loved the venue and said how amazing it was. Thank you for all your help.
A special note to Chris, our dedicated Wedding Planner….
Tyrone and I were just talking and saying how wonderful you were yesterday. You had everything covered and made our day so so special. Every time I thought of something and turned around there you were sorting it out. From sewing my dress to the lovely hay bale sofa. You were honestly brilliant, we can't thank you enough.
To Jane, Chris, Harry and all the team!
Thank you very much for hosting the AONB's 50th Anniversary Dinner and for making it a truly memorable occasion.
The organisation and attention to detail was much appreciated.
Very best wishes
The AONB Team

Motherly Advice for Finding Your Work-Life Balance
March 19, 2014
The day that Mary Ann Kirsch, Senior Manager – Indirect Purchasing – FCA US LLC, learned that she had been has been selected by Working Mother magazine as a recipient of the prestigious 2013 Working Mother of the Year Changemaker Award, she did something that almost everyone does after achieving a milestone – she called her mom to share the news.
"I'm telling her all about it and my mom gets all excited and she says, 'Wow, it's so wonderful that you're helping your kids to achieve, but you're still achieving.'
"It just was validation that I really had done some things right," Kirsch said.
Kirsch, the mother of three children, is an ardent advocate of programs that support flexibility and work-life balance at FCA US LLC. She co-led a work-life optimization team that triggered enhancements in company's purchasing & supplier quality organization, which consists of about 600 employees.
"It is a great honor to be included among so many accomplished women business leaders, who achieve so much each day by meeting the challenges of balancing family needs and career aspirations," Kirsch recalled.
Throughout her career, Kirsch has led by example; using several flexible work programs that FCA US offers its employees, including job-sharing, telecommuting and an array of resources that support working parents. She's also in very good company.
Kirsch's colleague Lynda T. Hamway, was a 2012 Working Mother of the Year Changemaker Award winner.
Hamway, a single mother of 8-year-old twin boys and Manager – Head of Body-in-White & General Assembly Purchasing – FCA US LLC, also used an array of work-life programs, including extended maternity leave, job-sharing and telecommuting from two to four days per month to help her keep up with her challenging work and family commitments.
"I was honored to represent FCA US at such a prestigious event," Hamway said when asked to explain what the honor meant to her.
"To me, it was an ultimate award, because I think being a mom is the most important job that you have on this Earth. Then, also growing your career is also very important to me, and so to be honored in that way was amazing."
Hamway also believes that FCA US work-life programs are "key" to both attracting and retaining talent.
"With the upcoming generation of people entering the work force, they're looking for flexibility," said Hamway. "It's high on their priority list."
Technology also helps.
"The fact that we have as many tools as we do, whether it's BlackBerry smartphones, iPhones, or being able to connect to our network … those things just make not needing to be here much easier," added Kirsch.
Keys to Finding Your Work-Life Balance
In addition to recognizing Hamway and Kirsch, Working Mother also recognized FCA US as one of the 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers – the 14th time that the company has been so honored since the inception of the award 28 years ago. In earning this recognition, FCA US outscored hundreds of applicants on support of women's issues and advancement, flexible work arrangements, parental leave and overall culture.
"Now in its 28th year, the Working Mother 100 Best Companies are leaders in building initiatives that truly support all employees," said Carol Evans, president of Working Mother Media. "They are the vanguard of successful companies, with modern policies for American families."

Diabetes Products for the Visually Impaired
Note: Islets of Hope does not endorse or recommend any particular product. We have simply listed some products and companies for general information only.
Count-a-Dose®. With the Count-a-Dose®, a person with poor vision can fill insulin syringes safely and accurately. A bottle holder is marked with one raised dot for the first bottle and two raised dots for the second bottle. These raised dots allow for easier mixing and allows from one to fifty units of insulin in single unit increments. Audible "clicks" are heard for each unit drawn.
The Insul-Cap® is a one piece syringe loading device with built-in magnifier. Numbers on the disposable insulin syringe are magnified two times in the transverse direction. The Palco Insul-Cap assists patients with impaired vision and unstable hands to load syringes.
Accu-Chek Voicemate Blood Glucose Monitor is a talking blood glucose monitor for the blind/visually impaired. Clear voice guides user through simple step-by-step testing and insulin vial label identification. Touchable Accu-Chek Comfort Curve Test Strips help guide finger to the target. Includes Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Device for virtually pain-free testing. Portable, easy to use and requires no cleaning.
My eyesight is not good and I have trouble seeing the markings in syringes. How can I make sure that I am getting the right amount of insulin?
There are many ways to ensure that you are getting the correct amount of insulin. See our side bar for a information on specific products designed to help the visually impaired.
See Islets of Hope's information about prefilling syringes: Tips on Insulin and Chart of Insulin Shelf-life
How to Get Air Bubbles Out of an Insulin Syringe - There are techniques by which a blind diabetic may draw and mix insulin without drawing air into the syringe. Like many others, I have used them successfully for years. I first draw four or five units of regular insulin into the syringe and then inject all of it back into the vial. I then repeat the operation two more times. The fourth time, I draw the full amount of insulin needed from the first vial. Then, when I draw insulin from the second vial, I draw the exact amount needed. I have put this to the test; 100 repetitions without air bubbles. Diabetes Action Network former First Vice President Janet Lee twice performed the same test. In both cases the complete absence of air in the syringe was independently verified.
"Tapping the syringe to remove air bubbles," a common technique used by the sighted, becomes unnecessary. The one to two units of air in the hub of the needle (where needle meets syringe) are expelled during the procedure used with the first vial of insulin. I demonstrate this technique to nurses, who are delighted to see that air bubbles are not present and the insulin measurement is accurate. Of course, long-term insulin users will be familiar with the need to inject as much air into the vial as the amount of insulin they withdraw, to facilitate getting the insulin into the syringe.

Simplicity is always what I look for, especially when that simplicity doesn't take away from the effectiveness or the features of the tool. You can accomplish much more when you aren't wasting time over-thinking the planning phase. That's exactly what ToDoist helps you do.More about Wedoist

What I loved about this tool is it's fluid and easy to use. All about the simplicity! Adding and uploading documents was a breeze, I was even able to add screenshots directly to it. Conceptboard offers a blank work space (like a whiteboard) on which you can put designs, pictures or documents (pdf, ms office). Or you just start to scribble (great for mind maps and brainstorming). With the comment tool you can place annotations directly at your designs or concepts.More about Conceptboard

What do you like best?Plugin system is good. Support is quick to answer emails.What do you dislike?Overly simplistic, buggy (not overly so but enough to be annoying), inability to save drafts, and I absolutely disagree with their philosophy of combining severity and priority.Recommendations to others considering the productIf you find it limiting, attempt to code plugins to work around the limitations so that it fits your needs. Would be a good opportunity to offer a developer a pet-project to flex his/her skills, or perhaps a capable intern.What business problems are you solving? What benefits have you realized?At a previous company we used FogBugz to track bugs and partially to handle support requests. For how my team used it, we were able to work efficiently enough, though we were hindered by its overly simplistic nature and bugs at times.More about FogBugz

The Sustainable Investor: In Pursuit of an Enlightened Investment Portfolio
Beyond Correlation: Re-examining the True Purpose of Investing
November 12, 2014
Where did we all go so wrong? How did the financial industry's investment approaches get so far from reality? At some point, investing became about volatility, standard deviations, correlations and "Monte Carlo" analyses. An "institutional" mindset took over as individuals began to mimic the actions of the big institutional investors (i.e., pension funds.) We became more concerned with beating benchmarks than with growing our long term assets. So, today, we need to re-examine the true purpose of investing, and reconnect it with real people and real money. I'll admit it. I was part of the problem... When I managed a mutual fund some 15 years ago in the volatile emerging equity markets,...Read Full Article...

Chosen from more than 125 applicants, the
awardees represent a variety of professional backgrounds and, for the first
time, include seven Canadian-based winners. "In making our selection, we look
for individuals who express the highest level of desire for the opportunity, as
well as those who have a positive outlook as to how they will use this program
to enhance their value to their respective employers," said Michael Grady,
Executive Vice President of Vector Security. "Persistence and demonstrated
career progression are also important. Seven of this year's winners had
submitted applications in prior years and didn't give up after the first try."
Grady added that the company's commitment to
supporting the scholarship program remains steadfast. "The LPQ and LPC
certification courses were designed by the LPF to fill a void that could not be
filled elsewhere. Now that these courses have taken root in the minds of loss prevention
professionals, they have grown immensely popular. Vector Security is honored to
be part of an effort to make these scholarships
available to worthy individuals who otherwise may not be able to afford them."
"With support from Vector Security, last year
we broadened the use of the LPQ course to a new type of position at one of the
nation's largest auto parts and service retailers," said Gene Smith, LPF President. "The retailer chose to educate
their Margin Control Specialists, who make certain that shrinkage is kept at a
minimum within the supply and sales chain. This marked a milestone in the use
of the LPQ to help educate non-LP personnel."

That these mistakes are oft repeated doesn't make them any less wrong.
Absolutely it does make them less wrong. Are you going to tell me that using phrases such as "to curry favor" and "moot point" are incorrect because a long time ago someone misheard someone else say "to curry Favel" and "mute point"? (see: http://blog.oxforddictionaries...)
Everyone should agree that languages evolve over time. For some reason, however, some people get really indignant when they observe the actual mechanisms by which languages evolve up-close.
Cool, does that mean I can get infinite power out of it as long as I can get the receiver and transmitter arbitrarily close to each other? Sounds like each time I cut the distance in half I get twice the power. Zeno saves the day!
If distance=0 represents a theoretical "full power", then how do you double that distance to get the half (or quarter) power according to the inverse law? If some distance > 0 represents "full power", then getting the TX and RX that close ought to be free of this nasty inverse square business.
Induction charging, even at its best, is only about 40% efficient and that's practically touching coils together.
Sure, but that loss isn't due to any inverse square law, is it? Like you said, the coils are practically touching. The op was implying that all wireless charging is stupid because loss increases with the square of the distance. I'm saying (with no research and little expertise in the area) that all of the wireless charging I've seen operates in the near field; and while I don't know how much that 40% efficiency number you gave could be improved upon, I doubt that the dominating factor in the loss is distance in this specific case.
The Inverse Square Law fully applies to any sort of wireless charging because physics works.
I'm pretty sure the fact that most wireless charging systems operate in the near field and rely and near field effects means that the inverse square law doesn't "fully apply". Even if it does in a technical sense, the distance between transmitter and receiver is very small.
Consultants are mystical people who ask a company for a number and then give it back to them.

Thoughts On Ghost: Let's Embrace Opinion
Like nearly a hundred thousand others last week, I was very interested to see John O'Nolan's concept of a simplified blogging platform, Ghost.
And like quite a few of those others, I really liked John's ideas. He suggested things like totally revamping the Dashboard so that it's "like your iPhone home screen"; adopting an email client split-view approach to managing posts and — my favourite bit — "a new writing screen that actually makes sense for blogging". I'll come to that in a bit.
The main idea of Ghost is to tailor-make a blogging platform that does blogging, and blogging only. WordPress is, without a doubt, a fully-fledged content management system, but it seems it's always been fighting to be accepted as so.
Back when I started WPShout three and a half years ago, articles entitled "how to use WordPress as a CMS" were all the range. That time — from WordPress 2.6/7 – 3.0 — was when WordPress made a big shift from blogging platform to CMS. A new Dashboard, custom post types and arguably premium themes were the big drivers of change.
And we, as a community, embraced that change, because the new features were, without doubt, awesome! The new Dashboard in 2.7, released nearly four years ago, is largely the same thing that's in use today. A lot of people have gained a lot financially from premium themes, myself included, and things like custom post types were the icing on the cake.
An idealistic approach
But here's the thing. Whilst WordPress is fantastic, as a blogging platform, it's not actually particularly ideal. Whilst it does everything you could possibly want, the pure scope of the more advanced features means when you just want to sit down and write, there are a thousand and one things to distract you.
John suggests a writing screen that "makes sense for blogging". How does it do that? A split screen view which has markdown on the left and a live preview on the right, with the idea being you can spend less time writing out HTML to get your post displaying how you want, and more time just writing whatever comes to you.
And like me, it's quite possible you're reading this thinking this looks fantastic. Ghost has great looking UI, wants to do things like build in the plugins that everybody uses and even wants to be "free as in Mozilla, not [free] as in Automattic."
This looks brilliant.
Please stop moaning
My problem, then, is that a bit like an Apple fan, I've taken one look at a new idea and immediately thought that looks amazing when can I have it. I've then written a blog post telling my readers how wonderful this new concept is.
And I can't help but think it looks just a little bit like I'm having a good old moan at WordPress, something I'm not really too entitled to do. John served as Deputy Head of the WordPress UI Group on versions 3.0 and 3.1. He's gone out and crafted the entire idea and made the designs to back up his ideas. What have I done? Well, not much really in the grander WordPress scheme of things.
WordPress has done absolutely brilliant things for me and I can't help but feel a little hypocritical for thinking Automattic shouldn't really be making $45 million a year (source) off free software, but I should be able to make an income off the same free software without paying a dime in due, royalties, whatever.
And, then, I can't help feel like I'm just moaning for suggesting WordPress suddenly isn't suitable for my needs when I've not done anything to try and address these issues myself.
So what do you want, then?
So what do I want? Matt said:
I really like some of the things John has done in his mockups here, especially on the write screen, and contrary to what he thinks ideas like this are more than welcome in the WordPress community.
But I don't know to what extent this is actually true in practice.
The Great GPL Debate created a with-us-or-against-us WordPress community which — I think — has prevented ideas like this coming forward in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
People like John can say these things because they've made the core contributions and given up their time for WordPress, but people like me? Sure, I've got opinions, but the barrier to entry is so high when it comes to submitting to core or the like, that whilst I have some skills, they're nowhere near good enough.
And if I'd published a concept for a blogging platform? I've not got the skills to create awesome mockups and I've not contributed too much to the WordPress platform, so I expect I'd be told to do these things for WordPress or shut up and stop moaning — and in a community where you're with-us-or-against-us, I wouldn't want either me or my blog labelled as one of the black sheep.
So what do I want? I'd like the WordPress community to open itself up to more ideas like this, but embrace the thoughts of everyone, not just those with the skills to flesh out every single detail of what they'd like to see.
The barrier to entry of submitting something like this to WordPress is huge. The barrier to entry of thoughts, though? Nil.
Let's push ideas around some more; let's embrace opinion.

The barrier to entry of submitting something like this to WordPress is huge. The barrier to entry of thoughts, though? Nil.
The barrier to posting and getting involved on the make/ui p2 is also nil, where a lot of ideas are born and fleshed out. It's not that the barrier is all that high for contribution, it's that people either don't have the time or inclination to put forth the effort to get involved.
I'm reminded of that saying about the lottery, "You can't win if you don't enter."
Contributing is as much about action as it is about ideas, both of which are necessary to get discussions rolling.
Ideas and concepts can help push innovation. Critiques of ideas and concepts can make the ideas and concepts better.
However, shooting something down because it may somehow become competition or the one creating the idea or concept may not yet be able to make it a reality is simply foolishness. I hope the WP community would be open to seeing new ideas so we all can benefit from it.
Thanks for the write up.
By the way, when viewing on mobile device, I could not kill the popup overlay making reading very difficult.
My biggest problem with John's "Ghost" concept (BTW, he isn't alone in the "let's redesign WordPress" fad that seems to be going around the internets — Jason Schuller from Press75 said that he's working on a project that sounds eerily similar) was that I couldn't find anything that John was suggesting that couldn't be handled by an admin dashboard plugin. A fairly large, and wide-ranging dashboard plugin, sure, but he's not changing any of the core functionality — he's just changing the UX, so why can't Ghost and WordPress co-exist? Why can't Ghost just be a really awesome plugin? I'd download it in a heartbeat, why do I need to abandon WordPress to do so?
The other thing that annoyed me is that, okay, yes, it's been said that opening your stuff up to comments in an age where things like Twitter, blogging, Facebook, etc. exist isn't entirely necessary — the conversation will happen whether it's on your site or not — but putting a revolutionary idea like this out there and not allowing people to post comments or feedback isn't helping things. It seems like the biggest problem that John and Jason and other people who have come out and criticized the direction of WordPress core have with the way the software has been going is that they feel like they don't have any input in the conversation. So what have John and Jason done? They've put up these posts about drastically changing/forking WordPress to be more blogging-centric, and not allowed people to comment, which sort of perpetuates the cycle, doesn't it?
I agree that there are things in WordPress core that have stagnated for several iterations — and there are good reasons for that; it's tough to please everyone when 17% of the internet uses your software. But how can you get a software out of this rut? By getting involved in the actual conversation. Which doesn't (necessarily) mean forking the software. I agree with Drew above, "you can't win if you don't enter."
Hi Alex,
I sort of see what you mean. But this project was crowd funded. It literally would not be getting made if there wasn't enough interest. I'd also point to their partners: WooThemes, Envato, MarketPress and many others who have an excellent grasp of just how secure WordPress is as top blogging platform. And yet they're helping to fund and make way for Ghost to be a big hit.

The makers of Udta Punjab scored a small victory over the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) this week, after the Bombay High Court ruled that the cuts suggested by the regulator were unjustified.
In a move that could land the CBFC in hot water, the certificate of the film states that the movie has been passed by Justices Dharmadhikari and SP Joshi of the Bombay High Court.
However, the CBFC was not the only one standing in the way of the film's release. Days before the June 17 release, an NGO based in Punjab challenged the Bombay High Court's verdict in the Supreme Court. It has now come to light that the apex court has refused to stay the release of the movie, as tweeted by Indian Express.
Just In: SC refuses to stay release of #UdtaPunjab, allows petitioner NGO to approach Punjab & Haryana HC where petition is pending
— The Indian Express (@IndianExpress) June 16, 2016
The other petition filed in the Punjab & Haryana High Court will decide the fate of the film on June 16.
For the time being at least, the public is hailing the judiciary for upholding the freedom of speech and expression. But this is not the first time the courts have stepped in situations where the government has deemed it fit to refuse certification, or prohibit screening of films in order to "uphold public order".
So how have the Supreme Court of India and the high courts dealt with cases involving certification and censorship of films in recent times?
Here are eight such instances:
1. Srishti School Of Art, Design & Technology v. The Chairperson, Central Board Of Film Certification & Anr.
This 2011 judgment by the Delhi High Court began with this quote from French philosopher Voltaire:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it".
The film in question was Had Unhad, a movie made by the art school, based on the teachings of 15th century poet Kabir. The Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) had made three excisions based on the guidelines framed by the centre under Section 5B of the Cinematograph Act.
The main gripe of the CBFC was that the film contained references to the Babri Masjid demolition.
The court, however, held that the film had to be considered in its entirety before determining whether or not a scene can potentially cause offence, and held the cuts to be unsustainable in law.
It held,
"As long as the film provides space for dialogue and discussion of a contentious issue, the policing out of a point of view or a visual merely because it is disagreeable to some cannot be justified."
2. M/S Prakash Jha Productions & Anr. v. Union of India & Ors.
This matter reached the Supreme Court in 2011, after the Uttar Pradesh government banned the screening of the film Aarakshan in the state. This despite the fact that the CBFC had granted a U/A certificate to film, which was themed on caste-based reservations.
The Supreme Court refused to buy the state government's contention that the film would cause public unrest in the state, since it was being screened in the rest of the country, and nothing untoward had happened as a result.
A Bench of Justices Mukundakam Sharma and Anil Dave held,
"…when there is public discussion and there is some dissent on these issues, an informed and better decision could be taken which becomes a positive view and helps the society to grow."
3. Krishna Mishra and Anr. v. Central Board of Film Certification
In 2012, the Bombay High Court held that it was mandatory for both the CBFC and the FCAT to record its reasons for suggesting cuts in films. The makers of Beehad – The Ravine had objected to the fact that songs and promos of the movie were sought to be edited, for no apparent reason.
It was held,
"A small producer who produces a low budget film should not have an apprehension or perception that his artistic project has not met the same standards that are applied to films with more 'reputed' producers…"
4. Raaj Kamal Film International v. M/S Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners
In yet another instance of politically motivated interference, the release of Kamal Hassan's Vishwaroopam was prohibited after Muslim groups in Tamil Nadu took offense to scenes in the film. The state government invoked Section 144 of the Cr.PC. preventing theatre owners across the state from screening the film, even as the CBFC okayed the movie for certification.
After the makers challenged these orders in the Madras High Court, a single judge granted interim relief, suspending the government's orders prohibiting the screening of the film. However, a Division Bench later reverseed that order.
In the end, bereft of any relief, Hassan was forced to make seven edits in order to reach a compromise.
5. Vital Media v. State of Punjab & Ors.
In 2013, the state of Punjab had passed an order preventing the screening of the film Sadda Haq, for fear that it would cause "breach of peace". It was subsequently banned in Delhi as well.
The main cause for concern was a song used for promos of the movie, which the filmmakers contended had no connection to the film itself. The apex court then constituted a group of four Senior Advocates, led by Fali Nariman, who were entrusted with submitting a report on whether the film was suitable for public screening.
They found that the film should be allowed for screening, albeit with an adult rating. Even though the film had already been released in other states, the court ordered the CBFC, which had initially granted a 'U' certificate, to re-certify the film with an 'A' certificate.
6. Central Board of Film Certification v. Pankaj Butalia & Anr.
Earlier this year, a documentary titled Textures of Loss, highlighting the history of violence in the Kashmir valley, came under the CBFC's scanner.
The board suggested four cuts, two of which were upheld by the FCAT, which believed that the documentary painted a negative picture of the security forces. This was successfully challenged in the Delhi High Court by the makers of the documentary.
The CBFC then preferred an appeal, during which a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath found nothing objectionable in the film. It was held,
"The persons who were interviewed had merely narrated their experiences and the loss suffered by them on account of the conflict between the militants and the security forces/police…the same can neither have any demoralizing effect on the security forces nor can they be termed as anti-national."
7. Vinay Kumar Pappu & Ors. v. The Union of India & Ors.
A few politicians from Bihar had filed a petition in the Patna High Court prohibiting the broadcast of the movie Jai Gangajal. Allegedly, the film portrayed a likeness of one of the petitioners in bad light. They sought to replace the name of the town 'Bankipur', the constituency of the petitioner.
In fact, they had submitted this objection to the CBFC; it was a request that was denied. Moreover, the FCAT also held that the film contained no objectionable content, and granted the film a UA certificate.
The High Court was reluctant to find fault with the CBFC's stance, especially since the movie contained a disclaimer saying that any resemblance is purely coincidental.
8. Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee v. Union of India & Ors.
The movie Santa Banta Pvt. Ltd., released in April this year, stirred quite a controversy among the Sikh community. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee sought to ban the release of the movie after the CBFC granted certification under the UA category.
The rationale for challenging the certification in the Delhi High Court was that the film projected Sikhs "as a laughing stock to the world at large". The High Court left it to the CBFC to reconsider the tenability of the objections raised by the petitioners.
The film was subsequently given the green signal, in all states expect Punjab. However, the Punjab & Haryana High Court recently stayed the government order banning the release of the film.

I just wanted to say that I was impressed by your packaging and shipping. I found you when I was searching for papers I just couldn't get locally and thought it was worth trying an order. I'd been resigned to the idea that small paper orders would end up rolled and in a tube, but I was pleasantly surprised to find my order shipped flat and well protected. Thank you. I will be ordering from you again.

Alexis keeps in touch with her team.
She's found the insight gained while traveling monumental in her professional experience and can't wait to gain more.
24 Hours with SkillCorps
A SkillCorps team member's typical day consists of quality work, time to relax or explore, and time to reflect. Our days are carefully constructed in order to meet the needs of the team members, while allowing them to stretch outside of their comfort zone to change the world – and have their world changed.
8:00 – 8:30 am
The team commutes to the center together.
8:30 am – 12:00 pm
The SkillCorps team observes teachers and students, providing support and encouragement to the staff member at the center.
12:00 pm – Lunch
The SkillCorps team sits down and enjoys a hot meal typical of Indonesia.
1:00 pm
The team will share their observations from the morning with the staff at the center. They use this time for instruction – including role plays and feedback with Hi-5 staff.
4:00 pm
The team makes the quick walk home, stopping on the way for cold sodas.
5:00 pm – 7:00pm
The team chooses to explore a local market, enjoying the sights and sounds of a new culture.
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The team reconvenes at the guesthouse to discuss the day. They make a plan for the next day's observing and sharing time and note what went well about the day.
8:30 pm
Time for bed! SkillCorps teams are encouraged to make sleep a priority so that they can fight off jet-lag and get the most from their experience.
Safety Abroad
At the Global Autism Project, safety is our #1 priority. We have a comprehensive safety plan, with up-to-the-minute updates about conditions abroad and at home. Guidelines for SkillCorps team members and staff ensure that everything is covered – from personal safety to cultural security.
Research by our team and our partners in-country is conducted to ensure that the accommodations in-country are clean and safe.
Food and Water
We provide clean, safe drinking water.
The meals provided by our partners align with our standards of safety and hygiene: Proper cooking temperatures, clean hands, appropriate attire, and preventing cross-contamination.
Only secure vehicles or private cars are used by SkillCorps teams for transportation in-country.
Flights are arranged using a travel agent which can change flights on a moment's notice and keeps up with current affairs.
How We're Different
Cultural Humility
What is Culture?
"Actually, the most important part of culture…is that which is hidden and internal but which governs the behavior encounter." (Hall 1976)
What is Cultural Humility?
Cultural humility is the life-long practice of self-reflection, challenging assumptions and belief systems and working to understand the hidden and internal factors which impact the behavior of a culture.
How do we apply it?
We prepare our SkillCorps teams to be immersed in a new culture. While customs and best practices are reviewed and discussed prior to traveling, we encourage all team members to practice cultural humility and get to know the culture they are immersed within on a deeper level.
We do not practice voluntourism.
SkillCorps is distinct from voluntourism in two ways:
- Our volunteers are trained professionals with an applicable skill set, targeted to the needs of our partners.
- We practice sustainable development. We are in constant communication with our partners year-round and ensure the work done on SkillCorps trips is implemented and practiced accordingly.
Each SkillCorps team member has the full support of the Global Autism Project.
Each team member will create a Crowdrise fundraising page with your personal story and information about our mission and vision.
Your fundraising covers:
- Accommodations in New York for orientation
- Accommodations in-country
- 1-2 meals per day in-country
- In-country transportation
As a SkillCorps team member, you will have the opportunity to raise money for the Global Autism Project.
A fundraising minimum of $5000 is required for each team member. We call it a minimum because we've had many volunteers raise even more!
This is a great opportunity to spread the word about the good work you are doing, raise awareness for autism abroad, and open up dialogue about sustainable development.

Unfortunately this idiot's appeals will probably cost the taxpayers millions. Look at abu jamal or whatever the hell his name is. He has cost the Pennsylvania taxpayers millions with his frivolous appeals. He should have been given the needle decades ago. It's certainly a more merciful death than the one he gave his victim! Same with this asshat in Ohio!

Obama administration officials looking to revive a cybersecurity dialogue with China on a trip to Beijing this week came home empty-handed.
A senior White House adviser had expressed optimism that China would return to a bilateral cybersecurity working group that Beijing canceled after the Justice Department indicted five Chinese military officers on charges of cyber-espionage. But the diplomatic statements of Secretary of State John Kerry and Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi at a July 10 press conference stressed common ground while indicating that such cooperation is still lacking in cyberspace.
"The Chinese side believes that cyberspace should not become a tool for damaging the interests of other countries," Yang said at the press conference. "The Chinese side hopes that the U.S. side would create conditions for the two sides to have dialogue and cooperation on the cyber issue."
"The loss of intellectual property through cyber has a chilling effect on innovation and investment," said Secretary of State John Kerry. "Incidents of cybertheft have harmed our businesses and threatened our nations' competitiveness, and we had a frank exchange on cyber issues … and we both agree it is important to continue discussions in this area."
Kerry's "frank discussions" with Chinese President Xi Jinping on cybersecurity yielded no tangible progress on the issue. When asked by a journalist if the two sides discussed a recent New York Times report alleging Chinese hacking into the Office of Personnel Management, Kerry said they did not because he had only just heard of the incident before the bilateral meetings.
Cybersecurity has joined currency manipulation and Pacific/Asia security as a defining agenda item in Sino-American relations.
The State Department did not reply to questions from FCW on Kerry's Beijing trip.

Adding SyntaxHighlighter to a SharePoint 2013 master page4 years ago
So I like to use my SharePoint blogging list because it provides a lot of convenience and allows me to simply publish my posts using Word. One thing I did miss was syntax highlighting support that came as a plugin with my previous blogging/CMS engines (BlogEngine.NET, DasBlog, umbraco, Orchard). What I wanted to do was to make the smallest modification possible to my SP master page to enable syntax highlighting. Maybe it's because I'm old school, but I never stopped liking SyntaxHighlighter. I know Microsoft has come up with an even better one and CodeMirror is outstanding, but
Leveraging Visual Studio 2012 for Node.js development4 years ago
Lately I have been working through many good tutorials and books on Node.js. I have always wondered whether or not I could use Visual Studio as my development environment when developing for Node.js. I had a couple of things I wanted; First, I wanted to be able to use the syntax highlighting and formatting tools within Visual Studio. Second, I wanted to take advantage of the improved JavaScript Intellisense available in Visual Studio. Finally, I wanted to integrate the Run step in Visual Studio with the Node.js server. I have been reading an excellent eBook, "Node Cookbook"
