Cardiff Met's Karen O'Shea takes first prize
Karen O'Shea's winning artwork - The people and coast of Porthcawl.
TWO students from Cardiff Metropolitan University were award winners at this year's inaugural Art Challenge Wales event in Porthcawl.
Sixty five artists took part in the event which challenged them to produce a Porthcawl inspired masterpiece from a blank canvas in a single day. The artists were given the freedom to create their artwork within a day and to reflect the people and coastline of Porthcawl, Wales.
Karen O'Shea, who works in the Fovography research team at the University's Cardiff School of Art and Design and is also a student in the Cardiff School of Education, won the overall event for her art piece entitled 'The people and coast of Porthcawl'. Karen took objects washed up in the morning's tide - shells, seaweed and plastic which she embedded into handmade paper to create her finished artwork.
After being awarded a £500 prize for her winning entry, Karen said: "I'm incredibly happy to have won the overall event - there were lots of great pieces of art on display so to be recognised as the overall winner is wonderful.
"On the day of the competition, I arrived very early and went down to the sea front in wild and bracing wind to collect jetsam and flotsam from the beach and gathered objects from the pavements like ice cream spoons, cigarette packets and butts to embed into my handmade paper, which I coloured to suit the mood of the weather on the day.
Mixed media artist Karen launched as a professional artist just two months ago and has also been supported by the University's Centre for Student Entrepreneurship, which has provided her with one-to-one support from the Centre's Business Start-up Manager. Karen has also attended the centre's 'Create' workshops, which aim to help students launch and run their businesses.
Kate Evans, a student at the University's state of the art Cardiff School of Art and Design also won the People's Choice Award at the event for her 'I figured the donkeys deserved a day off' artwork. Her piece won most social media votes and Kate was awarded a £200 prize for her oil canvas artwork.
Both pieces go on show at Dyffryn House and Gardens, Vale of Glamorgan this Saturday 11 July for two weeks before being displayed in the Kooywood Gallery, in Cardiff from the beginning of August.
Art Challenge Wales was founded by Phillip Vaughan, a long-time Welsh art collector and Cardiff Art College and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama graduate. The event was also supported by Bridgend County Borough Council's Regeneration Projects Team with funding from the Welsh Government's Town Centre Partnership.
Speaking about the uniqueness of the event, Philip said: "While there are other Welsh art events, none are more immediate and challenging and rewarding as this one as you have to paint your picture in one day to have it judged the next so you really have to be focused.
"I would like to congratulate everyone who took part in the event. I've been bowled over by the response and feedback I've received. To see people travel from all over Wales and as far as Bristol gives me confidence that we can make Art Challenge Wales a successful annual event."
Plans are already in place for the next Art Challenge Wales event in 2016 and a main aim is to double the number of entrants and prize money given next year. To find out more about the event you can visit the Art Challenge Wales website at http://artchallengewales.co.uk/.

I've been craving Japanese food for weeks! When I posted my craving on facebook and asked for your favourite Japanese family-style foods, okonomiyaki was the overwhelming favourite! So I got cooking.
I adore food like this, that seems so plain but is full of flavour and, in the style of all the best Asian foods, it's the accompaniments that you can go crazy with and create an explosion of taste!
As the first, huge pancake set in a perfect circle I gave myself a little pat on the back, only to be bought firmly back to my feet by the realisation that I had to flip the bloomin' thing! I explain my somewhat unorthodox methods in the recipe.
We spread this batter (a half batch of what I've written here) to cover two dinners, and still had mix left. This is a big mix. For single family serves, please halve the ingredients listed here.
When my nearly 4 year old asked for seconds, I knew I was onto a winner!
(Makes approx 12 medium sized pancakes)
1 large cabbage
1 x bunch spring onions – white and green parts finely chopped (some reserved for sprinkling on the cooked pancake)
4 cups flour (I used White Wings gluten free self raising)
4.5 cups water
8 eggs
4 tsp chicken stock powder
2 tsp ginger powder
Meat of your choice: thinly sliced poached chicken, ham slices, bacon slices (optional)
3 T tomato sauce
3 T worcestershire Sacue
Extra toppings:
Fried Onion
Coriander or mung bean sprouts
Finely shred the cabbage. I used a food processor, so my cabbage was more finely chopped than 'proper' okonomiyaki which uses shredded strips of cabbage.
In a large bowl combine the cabbage and most of the spring onions. Reserve some spring onions to top the cooked pancake.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour with the chicken stock and ginger powder.
In a third bowl, beat the eggs and the water.
Combine the egg/water mix with the flour and beat for a few minutes until the mix is smooth. (I used electric hand beaters)
Pour the batter over the cabbage (you'll need a BIG bowl!) and mix well.
To Cook:
Heat a well oiled, large frypan over medium/low heat.
Spoon one or two ladles of the batter into the pan.
Using two wooden spatulas, press around the edges to stop the mixture from spreading and into a circular shape about 1.5cm thick.
If adding meat, lay it in strips across the top of the pancake.
Cook for 7 minutes or until the mixture is set enough to flip and the edges begin to brown.
Flipping is tricky. I went for a few options! With my first, and biggest pancake, I put it under the griller to set the top, then used the 'plate on top of the frypan' method to flip the pancake and then slide it back into the frypan for a further 7 minutes cooking time. When I started making the pancakes smaller, I was able, for the most part, to flip them just using two egg flips.
To Serve:
Mix together the tomato and Worcestershire sauces (alternatively you can use a store bought Okonomiyaki style sauce)
I like to mix some wasabi into the mayo for some extra zing!
Spread or drizzle the sauce and mayo onto the hot, cooked pancake.
Top with extra chopped spring onions, fried onion, coriander and any other toppings you like!
The batter will last for 2 days in the fridge.

Garden Beauty
A wheel barrow full of weeds might never be pretty but it has made room to add some bulbs and underplantings of herbs and groundcovers.

School Tomorrow
Tomorrow however, it is back to routine. The books will be back out first thing and we will get down to some serious study after a luscious break. Fresh and ready to learn.
The holidays were productivetoo. The children had fun and a few spats as well and I got a lot done in the garden. I have also started to make a list of some of the things I would like to plant during the winter. More fruit trees will be going in when they arrive from Thistlebrook Nursery but at the top of my ornamental list is to plant some silver birch trees. I love the look of their bark and hope to make a little glade edged with the silver birch.
I am having trouble posting pictures tonight so this a bit of a boring post. I always prefer to see some pictures on other blogs and mine too. Hopefully things will be sorted by the next time I post.
Until then,

A Lot of Weeding
I have been tidying up the herb garden during the last few days. There are a few patches that are bare patches now as I culled a few plants which had become woody and too untidy.
The herb garden measures 8 metres (26 feet) by 10 metres(33 feet) and has a path of white scoria. The path is underlayed with weed mat which does go some way to preventing weeds coming up but there are still the odd few to remove. As it is school holiday time and the weather has been beautiful outdoors, the exercise in the garden has been all pleasure.
As a reward for my efforts, I am going to go into town this afternoon and buy a few plants to pop in the empty spots. I think I will try something with a little colour.

Gardening fun
Sapphire potatoes
The sapphire potatoes are quite striking and made a purple tinted mash which was fun
Finger lime
Todays gardening is revolving around the orchard. I have four new fruit trees to plant. A loquat to replace the one destroyed by the grasshoppers last year. A Nules mandarin because we love mandarins. A feijoa (apollo) because growing as many different types of plants as I can is my vice. Lastly, a Finger Lime because I have wanted one for ages. This order of trees came from Daley's Fruit Tree Nursery in Kyogle. I have been ordering from them for a few years now .Their service and packaging is great and the plants have always arrived in excellent condition.
Bye for now,

A City Interlude
My son attended an awards ceremony in Sydney on Tuesday so it was a must attend event. The ferry ride to the event was short but fun for two country girls.
We used the opportunity of being in Sydney to attend the Sydney Royal Easter Show. The dahlias in the picture above are just for decoration, not part of the floral competition. The standard of competition in all of the events is very fierce. Although I enter our local show I am a little too lackadaisical for this event. Though I did notice that our turkeys were of a standard that would have been competitive, I'm not sure they would enjoy the six hour journey there and back.

You have just received a response from an auto loan company that your application has been declined. According to the lending officer, your loan proposal has been rejected because of your bad credit history or low credit score. The lending company you submitted your car loan application to only accepts customers with good credit rating and obviously, you did not meet the lender's criteria. What can you do?
Subprime Car Loans for People with Bad Credit
If your credit score is below average, then you fall into the subprime category. Does that mean you cannot get the car financing you need? Not at all! Many lending companies in the market do offer financing for the subprime market or consumers who are credit challenged. Even with bad credit, you can still get approved for a car loan but you need to find the right lender.
Do subprime car loans mean high rates and fees? Because of the greater risk involved, lenders may charge a little more on interest rate for this type of loan. But that does not mean you should settle for an unreasonably high rate or unfair terms. Even though you need to improve your personal credit score, you still deserve fair treatment.
Car Loan Tips for Consumers with Bad Credit
How can you get approved for a car loan if you have bad credit? More importantly, how can you find a car loan lender that offers a reasonable rate despite having bad credit? Consider the following tips:
Check out credit unions. It's a good idea to check out your local credit unions for possible car loan financing programs. Credit unions are more likely to offer a much lower rate than what commercial lending companies offer even for consumers with bad credit history.
Check your credit report. If you've been denied financing because of your credit rating, you should immediately check your credit report. Order your report from each of the three major credit bureaus – Trans Union, Experian and Equifax.
See if there are errors or misinformation which could have caused your score to drop even more. If you do find errors, send a letter to the bureau that issued your report and request for corrections. Once the errors have been corrected, you might be able to raise your credit score significantly.
Watch out for predatory car dealers. Some car dealers that offer financing deals are after only one thing – making sales and making profit. You might be offered an attractive deal and easy approval despite your bad credit but once you signed up the contract, you might be informed that you did not qualify for the low rate because your credit score. You might end up paying an expensive loan because you've been ripped off by an unscrupulous car dealer.
Shop around and compare deals. In order to make sure that you've found a good deal, you should gather quotes from at least three to five lenders and compare the rates and fees. Use the internet to request for quotes for free. Use these quotes to narrow down your choices. Afterwards, be prepared to examine the background, terms and conditions of each prospective car loan lender.

One Home One Dream: Exploring Tibetan Diaspora in New York City
From Lhasa to New York
"Since 1959 we have all been refugees. For over 50 years all Tibetans are refugees," proclaimed a speaker at the Beijing Olympics protest at the United Nations in New York. In 1951 Communist China formally annexed Tibetan territory and in 1959, the People's Liberation Army suppressed an uprising in Lhasa where 87,000 people were reportedly killed.
While "we are all refugees" seems like a simple statement, understanding the identity of the Tibetan Diaspora in New York City is not a simple task. It is difficult to determine accurate figures on Tibetans, but according to several different Tibetan NGOs there are roughly 5,000 to 6,000 Tibetans in New York. Today, the community in the greater New York area makes up the largest concentration of Tibetans in the United States and the western world. In total there are at least 130,000 refugees scattered throughout the world. With the passage of the Immigration Act of 1990, the Tibetan community in New York and the U.S. grew exponentially.
The community in New York City is comprised of a myriad of personal backgrounds and views: Tibetans from Tibet, asylum seekers and refugees from India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibetan-Americans, American born Tibetans. The Tibetan community in New York City is diverse and resilient—at times unified, at times individualistic. The community of refugees living in exile have enjoyed new freedoms, and have united in a common wish to preserve Tibetan identity as well as to promote their distinct religious and cultural heritage.
Tibetan Paradox
Nationality, according to common western perceptions, is obviously linked to a country, state, or territory. However none of these concepts apply to Tibet. Currently the region, created in 1965, is known as "the Tibet Autonomous Region," a province of the People's Republic of China, or according to the Government of Tibet in exile, Tibet is "the areas consisting of the traditional provinces of Amdo, Kham, and Ü-Tsang." Tibet is not a recognized state by the United Nations, and there is no consensus on the geographical locations of its frontiers.
No one can deny, however, that Tibet is unique, with its own language, culture, food, dress, history, and customs. Some Tibetans in New York City were born in Tibet, later moving to refugee camps in India, Nepal, or Bhutan, but many were born in India, and have never even seen Tibet. "I can only imagine my home, it is beautiful, I want to go back," says Dawa Tsering, a Tibetan translator for the New York City Immigration Court. Although he says he wants to go back, he was born in a Tibetan settlement in India and has never visited Tibet. The concept of "going back" is prevalent among many of the India or Nepal born Tibetans.
The only legal proof of being Tibetan seems to be the "Green Book," issued by the Central Tibetan Administration, or the Tibetan Government in Exile. According to the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, "the Green Book is a receipt book that details annual voluntary contributions made by Tibetans living in exile to the Tibetan Government in Exile." The goal of this document, according to the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) is "to become a base to claim Tibetan citizenship." Concerning eligibility, the CTA defines a Tibetan as "any person born in Tibet, or any person with one parent who was born in Tibet."
How long will this definition apply to those Tibetan refugees living and raising their children in the U.S., far from Lhasa and their Tibetan parents? Will eligibility for the Green Book be expanded for American born Tibetans who do not have one parent born in Tibet? These appear to be tough questions that many do not wish to consider since it implies the permanence of a Tibet that is not free, not recognized, and that has no flag flying outside the United Nations Building among the flags of other nations.
Helping Others
When Tibetans describe their community in New York they use words like "powerful, helpful, strong, unified." Many Tibetans interviewed mentioned wanting to help others and wishing to give back. Dawa Tsering, a Tibetan translator, who was born and raised in a Tibetan refugee camp in southern India, says he wanted to be a translator to help other Tibetans gain asylum, in addition to translating at hospitals and for the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture. Tsering's parents faced torture and persecution, but were able to flee Tibet in 1959 when the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government went into exile in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, North India. The Chinese Government's violence, mistreatments, and persecution were part of Tsering's family history.
Standing outside the Chinese Mission during a protest in Manhattan, Tenzin Namdol, a second year student at Hunter College majoring in education, also expressed her desire to help not only her community, but people all over the world. "I want to help other people, I would like to work for that program that Kennedy started to send help to other countries," referring to the Peace Corps.
But what worried Namdol most was in her words, the "Americanization" of Tibetan youth. "The young Tibetans growing up here can't even speak their own language well, but I am teaching them." Her four little cousins played on Gameboys and iPods as she protested and shouted "China is a liar." Namdol described growing up in India and coming to the U.S. when she was in middle school. "My dad won the lottery to come to the U.S., and then he worked for four years until he was able to bring us over here." Namdol still has a strong link to Tibet, she spends at least one day every month to protest and hold signs, and hopes that she will be able to help the younger generation preserve Tibetan identity and culture.
"Everyday for the past 5 months"
On August 12, standing outside the Chinese Embassy in New York during pouring rain and lightning, Sonam Wangdue, a young Tibetan activist in a yellow poncho shouts "Down with Hu Jintao." Wangdue works as the Director of Public Relations for the Tibetan Youth Congress of New York & New Jersey, which he says proudly is "the largest and the oldest NGO that advocates for the Tibetan cause." Back in India, where he was born and raised, Wangdue was the President of the Tibetan Youth Congress chapter in Dharamsala. He has always been active in fighting for a free Tibet, but says he moved to the U.S. to protest more effectively and freely.
"I had a hard time in India. I have been persecuted by the Indian Police." Wangdue talks with vigorous hand gestures under his yellow poncho, and finally slips his hands out from under the plastic sheet—one finger has been cut off—and says "we are free to organize here and we have been protesting everyday for the past 5 months since the March uprising in Tibet."
Arriving in New York 18 months ago, Wangdue claimed political asylum, but the judge denied his case. The case has been appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, but Wangdue has not been able to locate an immigration lawyer to work his case pro bono. Tsering, who has vast experience as a Tibetan translator for Immigration courts, had warned about the difficult position of asylum seekers. "When they arrive at the airport on the American soil, they can put up their hands and say: 'I am Tibetan, I was persecuted in my country, I am seeking asylum.'" However, they are often put in detention centers straight from the airport. Tsering says "detention judges are less lenient since you are perceived as committing a crime by illegally entering the American territory."
Jessica Glynn, who works for The Immigration Law Project at SafeHorizon in Queens, says asylum seekers have a better chance of winning their cases if they voluntarily seek asylum status. Tibetans, as Glynn contends, have a better chance of being granted asylum since judges are familiar with their situation; however, several Tibetans are denied asylum, and they often remain here illegally. There are no accurate statistics on the number of Tibetan asylum seekers since they are categorized together with Chinese dissidents. The unofficial advice of immigration lawyers is "to disappear if you lose your case." Indeed, Wangdue was not granted asylum. "They think I am a native of India, but I am no Indian citizen! I have my green book, I am Tibetan."
Balancing a Cohesive Community with Individual Pursuits
Tibetans consider the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, the spiritual Commander in Chief of the Tibetan community in exile. After 1959, realizing that this exile would remain a long-term situation, he organized in Dharamsala a "Little Lhasa." He created a Tibetan education system in order to teach the Tibetan children the traditional language, history, religion, and culture. He supported the re-funding of 200 monasteries and nunneries in an attempt to preserve Tibetan Buddhist teachings and the Tibetan way of life. These organizations are made possible because Tibetans in India live together in autonomous and almost self-sufficient communities. Although neither Dharamsala, Bylakuppe or any other Tibetan camp in India and Nepal are closed and exclusively Tibetan, the Tibetan population still represents a cultural and ethnic majority.
This is not the case in New York City. Relatively speaking when compared to other ethnic groups, Tibetans make up a small community. Here Tibetan refugees don't have similar structures or capacities that allow them to preserve their culture as easily. Thupten Norbu, who sits on the executive committee for the Tibetan Association of Northern California (TANC) affirms that, "here in the U.S. you have to make a greater effort to keep the links with Tibet. People don't live all together, they have their own apartments, they go to American schools. But their Tibetan fellows are the only things that reminds them of their home. That's why they are and have to be really organized." Additionally, Wangchuk Shakaba, National Coordinator of U.S. Tibet Committee, argues that "strong family connections play the most important role in keeping the Tibetan diaspora together and make them able to preserve their culture."
But even if they run the risk of losing part of their identity, the Tibetan refugees have resettled here in order to make a better life or just to simply survive. This issue mainly deals with the diverse reasons why the Tibetan refugees in New York City decided to leave their homes. Individualism plays a great role in this decision and contrasts the notions of community implemented in the settlements in India and Nepal. In the 1970s His Holiness the Dalai Lama requested that Robert Thurman, Columbia University professor, often regarded as the pre-eminent scholar of Tibetan Studies, create a Tibetan cultural institution, now known as Tibet House. The institution introduces Tibetan culture to people through films, publications and raises funds to support Tibetan cultural projects like art departments in schools. Currently, one project under way that could encourage more unity is the creation of a community center that would provide Tibetans an opportunity to meet in one place—to have a common "home" again. Such a project is very expensive, and Tibetan associations are raising funds in order to purchase a meeting space.
When asked for the reasons he left India, Thupten Norbu mentioned education as a decisive factor. The Tibetan boarding school system in India has transformed a society of exiled Tibetans into a highly literate group; many Tibetan refugees in India have sought higher education in both India and the U.S.
Traditionally monasteries offered a route to acquiring an education. "Tibetan monasteries are the equivalent of your western universities," affirmed Kunga Tseten, a former monk born in Nepal who arrived in New York seven years ago. Tseten, who walked with a limp because of a soccer injury he experienced during his time in the monastery, says Tibetans view religion differently. "Religion for Tibetans isn't the same as it is for Americans. In my experience Americans can get uneasy about religion, but we look at it as a way of life, a way to educate ourselves."
In Exile as Challenge, Bernstorff, a professor at the University of Munich, found that the Tibetan exile community has remarkably transformed literacy levels. Bernstorff writes that traditionally "Tibetan lay society was largely illiterate, but within two generations the literacy level among 15-24 year olds had risen to 97%." Education has been regarded highly within the exile community. Thupten Jigme Norbu, the eldest brother of the 14th Dalai Lama, was one of the first high-profile Tibetans to go into exile and is often cited as the first Tibetan to settle in the United States. In 1950, he decided to leave Tibet and attempt to educate the world about the atrocities in Tibet. He served as Professor of Tibetan Studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. In 1979, Thupten Jigme Norbu founded the Tibetan Cultural Center (TCC) in Bloomington, a center devoted to preserving Tibetan culture and religion.
But in New York, Tibetans are growing concerned with how to educate younger children about their culture and language. As a result, they have organized school classes over the weekend for the new generation. Shakaba explains, "That is the place, apart from the home, where they teach them the language as well as give them the knowledge about Tibetan values, traditions, beliefs, and attitudes."
Recreating a Home in "Little India"
In Jackson Heights, Queens the heart of "Little India" is on 74th Street between Roosevelt Avenue and 37th Avenue. Here you find gold shops, TV screens showing flirting Bollywood characters, and curry houses. Though the streetscapes are dominated by Indian and other South Asian ethnicities, Tibetans have found a place that gives them comfort. "I like to eat in Jackson Heights," Tsering says with an excited face. Wangdue explains, "so many of us grew up in Tibetan settlements in India. We can speak Hindi, the food is comfortable and good."
It seems that the neighborhood life has truly become a substitute in the place of Tibetan settlements in India. A few Tibetan entrepreneurs dot the street, and colorful Tibetan prayer flags hang among the Indian jewelry and Sari shops. There is the Yak Restaurant where you can eat Tibetan food and drink the po cha, a Tibetan tea with yak butter and salt. The Tibetans say this tea was very practical in their lives back home—it provided lots of calories and is particularly suited for high altitudes. The butter also helps prevent chapped lips. In the restaurant you find people sipping tea and eating the doughy Tsampa, a Tibetan staple food. This extremely diverse district forces the Tibetan community to mix and to adapt, but on the other hand, it respects the strong cultural identity of the Tibetan diaspora.
Tibetan/American Exceptionalism
The waves of Tibetan immigration have been recent and slow. "Tibetans came so late to the U.S. In the sixties, there were ten to twelve Tibetans here; in the seventies around a hundred, and in the eighties a thousand, and now there are many," estimated Tsering, the Tibetan translator. Many Tibetans feel welcomed and accepted in the US since they don't face as much criticism from native populations as other ethnic groups.
The U.S. government offers certain opportunities to Tibetan refugees. "People who are fleeing from Nepal, India, and Tibet prefer to go to the U.S. because here they are welcome. The U.S. Congress gives them grants to come to the U.S. It is quite easy for them to get asylum status, especially in New York, because the judges are very sensitive to them," contended Shakaba, National Coordinator of the U.S. Tibet Committee.
This American affinity for Tibetans and their cause was also reflected in the recent decisions of the Congress to award the United States Congressional Gold Medal to the 14th Dalai Lama on October 17, 2007. Tibetans have even affected local elected officials and policy makers in New York. On March 29, 2000, the New York City Council adopted a resolution which recognized the sovereignty of Tibet (including the Tibet Autonomous Region and all Tibetan areas in Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan Provinces) as an occupied country, and stated that Tibetan people have the right to control their own economic development, and proclaimed that China should enter into good faith negotiations with representatives of the Tibetan government in exile.
Politics: A Dirty Word?
Tibetan organizations are especially active and visible on the streets of New York. Since March 14th 2008, in response to the riots and unrest in Tibet, Tibetans living in New York have been protesting every single day, regardless of weather conditions in front of the Chinese Embassy located in Manhattan between 12 Avenue and 42nd Street. But the Tibetans do not view what they are doing as political.
Tseten, exclaimed outside the Chinese Embassy, "This is not politics, this is human rights. I'm not political—the word is dirty—I am for the lives of others as well as mine." The community of Tibetans are so active in protesting to the extent that five of Namdol's friends have been fired because of missing work too many times.
The resistance against Tibet's colonization is a part of the Tibetan identity. There is no doubt that it defines an authentic core of Tibetan culture based deeply in Buddhist principles. Buddhism embodies the interconecctedness of the community, combining cultural mores and daily life practices. Kunga Tseten says "It is our way of life. Buddism believes in love and compassion. If you don't follow it, you don't practice it." Adding political weight to these connections is part of establishing national unity. Tibetans living in the United States started to organize themselves and set up community-based organizations which afterwards created a worldwide network. Now in New York there are at least five very active Tibetan organizations: Students for Free Tibet (SFT), Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC), U.S. Tibetan Committee, Tibetan Women's Association, and the Tibetan Community School of New York & New Jersey. These Tibetan organizations play a crucial role in advocating for their interests, concerns and integration.
Tibetans reiterate that the political project of freeing Tibet is a collective and nonviolent goal, but that individuals perform personal acts of identity and political engagement. Sonam Wangunde at the Human Rights Convention in Geneva conducted a fourteen-day hunger strike to garner international attention and to call for a self-governing autonomous region. He strongly believes that each action is important and is happy if he can attract even five new people to join the Tibetan protest in New York City.
Tenzin Tsundue, writer-activist and figurehead for the "Free Tibet" movement, pointed out that Tibetans are waging the "last peaceful struggle for freedom in the world." Tibetans believe in peace and follow the words of the Dalai Lama. The recent episode when a protester broke the window of the Chinese consulate during the protest reflects a concern that the struggle for freedom will become violent one day. Kunga Tseten said, "they who are acting in violence are frustrated, angry. Tibetans are human beings after all." Tseten lamented that "the future of the nonviolent movement is questionable, especially after His Holiness." Shakaba, however, said that Tibetans "are not going to turn violent, but people are anxious since the Dalai Lama is aging."
Perspectives on U.S. Presidential candidates
Though the community largely does not consider themselves political, Tibetans are quite savvy about U.S. politics and its realities. Tseten said he enjoyed talking about politics with the old man who he assists to make a living. "I think I like Obama, and the old man I take care of does too."
Tibetans feel that the Presidential candidates, John McCain and Barak Obama would both support Tibetan issues. Thupten Norbu showed this optimism as well: "I believe that both candidates will be for human rights and religious freedom. Both have shown interest and compassion for Tibet. Even Bush, though he has done many things where people have dissented, on the Tibetan issue he has done work. Both presidential candidates will work for Tibet says Richard Gere, but it is hard to know without seeing what they have done before."
Kunga Tseten agrees, but stresses Tibetans must consider the character and integrity of politicians. "Well if you are a clean glass, then what you pour in and out will be clean. I have a monk view of politics." He added later his support for Obama. "Barak Obama is bringing people together and from my view this is a good thing. But Bush was not bad to us Tibetans, I am not speaking about his other policies—I realize he divides people." Sanom, the P.R Director, shared his views as well, saying, "We don't know the system, but I believe our sympathies are with the Democrats."
Tibetans have various views on U.S. presidential candidates, but it is interesting that while the most recent AP/Ipsos poll shows President Bush's disapproval rating at 66 percent, the Tibetan New York City community shows a much higher approval rating for him.
Persecution and Torture
Some left Tibet not as an individual choice, but because they were forced to leave to save their lives. This is the case of Mr. Lobsang, a Tibetan asylum seeker who fled Tibet in 2002 to escape persecution and torture. We met him at the New York Federal Immigration Court, where Norbu, the translator, helped him to defend his case. Mr. Lobsang was not an activist. His crime was simply possessing a Tibetan flag and a videotape of the Dalai Lama given to him by a traveling monk.
On an early morning in June, the Chinese police burst through the door of his house, and after finding the two "illegal" items, they brought him to jail. While in jail, the 26-year-old man described to the judge the mistreatments he underwent. He was kept in a small cell, and was beaten everyday for several hours for two weeks. To escape, he lied to the police, saying he could lead them to the monk who had given him the flag and the tape. In fact, he knew that the monk had already left for India, but he needed to make that promise to get out of jail and flee from the police.
While the police were looking for the monk, they stayed one night in a hotel. That night, Mr. Lobsang escaped from the room while the three policemen were sleeping. He went to the house of friends, and left for Nepal the next morning, leaving his wife and children behind. From there, he flew to New York City, arrived at JFK, and claimed political asylum in the airport. He still believes his wife is in Lhasa, but has had no news from her since he arrived in 2002.
Beijing Olympics, "A Genocide Olympics"
Tibetans, at the "Light a Candle for Tibet" event, believed that their light proclaimed they would not let Tibet be forgotten during the Olympics. Pierre de Coubertin in Paris, father of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, said, "The games have always brought people together in peace to respect universal moral principles." He believed that the most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to take part. Tibetans don't' have this opportunity.
The Beijing Olympics which began on August, 8, 2008 epitomized the different stories being played out on an international stage. Thupten Norbu said before the Olympics that this "is a time for Tibetans to tell their story. The world is focused on China right now, and we want to maximize the attention." The Dalai Lama and the government in exile considere the Olympic Games as a way to open the eyes of the world to the current situation in China. However, Sonam Wangunde disagreed with this official statement, believing that accepting the Olympics gave the world an impression that China embodied this Olympic spirit. According to Wangunde China did not deserve "this certificate" since the Olympic Games are "about peace and brotherhood" and such an outstanding event should not have taken place in a country that notoriously violates basic human rights.
Wangunde exclaimed that, "The Chinese tell lies—it is not communism. Only a few people reap the benefits from that powerful economy." The Dalai Lama is more committed to principles behind communism than the Chinese government is."
Wangunde feels strongly about the dynamics at play between China and Tibet: "Certain things may never work. Mice and cats cannot coexist together with compassion for each other. The same is true for our situation with China, the Chinese are uncivilized people. We have to be separate, but be very good neighbors."
At the international "Light a Candle for Tibet" event in Union Square, Qristina, a participant, said, "I guess I actually feel like a person, someone who's perhaps useful and able to make a difference. I think that not only are we lighting candles for Tibetan freedom, but perhaps just as much for the freedom we've found on the journey getting here."
Divided Loyalties?
In the Tibetan diaspora, His Holiness the Dalai Lama holds a central position. Through his global profile, and Tibetan transnational political structures, he creates images of Tibet, builds community and works toward Tibetan self-determination. Tibetan diasporic identities are contested, complex and rooted in not one but many narratives of struggle. A female college student, Tenzin Namdol still has a strong concept of where home is. "Home is Tibet, though I have never seen it with my own eyes. I've seen pictures. It's beautiful. I want to go back some day." Though she has never lived in Tibet, she still says, "go back" as if she will return one day to a place she knows solely through photographs, stories, and imagination. However, her position differs from Sonam Wangunde. Though he considers himself Tibetan, home for him is in India where he was born and grew up.
If returning to the homeland is an option, several Tibetans in exile say they would still live in the U.S. They would not necessarily give up the lives they have created to move to Tibet. Tseten says they are fighting for the freedom of Tibetans in the TAR and for their relatives. According to professors Houston and Wright "return does not invoke a physical return to a homeland, but rather a repeated revisiting to the concept of homeland via texts, imagery and social and religious rituals."
Citizenship is very important to the Tibetans in New York; for many it represents security. Tseten described his feelings about citizenship: "I was born a refugee. I am very excited to become a citizen of a country for the first time in my life. Refugee sounds cute to many people, but it is not at all. As a refugee America represented freedom."
Citizenship for the Tibetans does not necessarily mean a change in how they identify themselves. For many, including Tseten, the Tibetan identity is deep rooted: "It's not what you eat, what you wear, it is who you are inside that defines your identity."
Even though Tibetans have doubts about U.S. society, most apply for citizenship if possible. Sanom Wangunde is not only a Tibetan activist, he is also an actor and his dream is to act in films. Perhaps the exiled Tibetans living in the U.S. are carrying out an important aspect of being human, an aspect that the Dalai Lama stresses: creativity. In the words of the Dalai Lama, "I believe that an important aspect of being human is creativity and that to be able to exercise creativity, people need to be free. Those of us in exile have experienced that freedom, and, even as refugees we have learned something of its value." The exiled Tibetans living in New York have demonstrated remarkable resilience, and even happiness, during times of tragedy, and they are now learning what it means to be free, a freedom that they do not take for granted and that is a continual source of hope.

Chia recipes
In our experience there are three ways in which Chia is added into users' diets: Drinks and Smoothies, Toppings and Dressings and General Cooking. We have over 1,500 recipes on our Pinterest boards for you to try and experiment with so you'll never be short of something new to try. See the link below.
Drinks and Smoothies
Adding Chia to a drink or smoothie is the simplest way to add Chia to your diet. Chia seeds are very similar in size and texture to strawberry or poppy seeds. In a drink or smoothie, the seeds take on the flavour of the drink and add a delightful crunch. One of our personal favourites are smoothies and protein shakes, but one of the most common ways to consume Chia is by making a Chia Fresca, a cold lemon flavoured drink laced with Chia.
Toppings and Dressings
Another really simple way to add Chia to your diet is as a topping or salad dressing. Simply sprinkle Chia on to salads, sandwiches, deserts etc or use Chia to make a tasty vinaigrette. You can even soak it in fruit juice and pour it over ice cream to make a delicious treat.
General Cooking
As a cooking ingredient, Chia is extremely versatile. The seed can be soaked in water to release the gel, which then can be used as an alternative for cooking oil, butter or eggs. Alternatively, the seed can be introduced directly to most recipes, adding to the nutritional content and enhancing the texture, but without any compromise to taste.
Chia UK on Pinterest
We will be continually adding recipes to our many Pinterest recipes boards so be sure to check back regularly, but to get you imagination going, have a quick look at our 'Top Tips" page.

UW-Extension resources and staff are essential for small community success. Over my eight years leading the chamber in Sauk Prairie, I have utilized the services of Jenny Erickson, Bill Ryan and Kristin Runge on multiple projects. Their expertise and facilitation skills have provided our community the resources needed without paying large contracted rates that would preclude us from using outside help. Most recently, I contracted with UW-Extension to lead our community's market analysis for 2017. This was a ten month process using roughly fifteen community stakeholders, managed monthly by UW-Extension staff. The final sixty page document allows the chamber and local municipalities the opportunity to work towards improving our community, guided by a work plan with measurable goals over the next five years. The strength of UW-Extension staff was apparent every step of the way, bringing forward resources available throughout the UW System. Other projects that we have utilized have been First Impression Exchange Program (twice), leadership facilitation, and survey writing expertise. I cannot recommend or encourage other communities to take advantage of this exceptional resource that our state and local counties provide.

It was clear to Carstairs that he would need to do something pretty soon to add a bit of zest to his life. He'd mentioned this to Carruthers last night and they'd reminisced at length, about the old days.
Carruthers had got that look in his eye, that old look he used to have when they'd gone hunting or carousing.
'You know what old boy, maybe a bit of carousing is just what I need' he said to Carruthers.
Nothing wrong with a bit of carousing, even at his ripe old age and Carruthers was certainly in favour. He may have lost his marbles but he seemed to be intact in the trouser department, at least, so he insisted.
'Like a steel rod old man, never fails me'.
He'd started to unbutton his trousers and seemed intent on demonstrating how marvellously he was able to rise to the occasion. Fortunately the matron woman came in at that point and one look from her hatchet-face was enough to dampen any man's ardour, even old Carruthers.
In his day of course, he'd been a notorious swordsman, all the women seemed to flock to him and he would come to the club many a Sunday lunchtime bragging about his exploits, how he'd managed to satisfy 2, 3 or one time 4 women in one night.
The very idea of it now made his nether regions ache in protest and the more he thought about it the more he thought he'd find a more relaxing pursuit to spice up his life, something a little more suited to a gentleman of his advanced years, watching cricket, maybe, or perhaps a ruddy good game of bridge.
It's not that he didn't' appreciate the filly's ,of course he did, loved them as much as any man, but sometimes a chap needed a bit of peace and quiet and they do rather like to chatter away all the time, enough to drive a man doolally.
He'd only mentioned his plans to Carruthers in jest but he'd become so excited by the idea that he felt like he ought to go along with it.
At least the silly old bugger would have forgotten by the time he saw him next, rather handy really this loss of marbles.

Yesterday saw over 55 competitors fight it out through the fleets with both the elements and each other. It was sight to behold! Fantastic to see the cream of local talent rise to the top in all three fleets as well – twelve-year olds Scotty and Sam both in podium positions in the Masterblaster, Izzy Hamilton taking a break from the RS:X to show her talents across a slalom course and both Kev and Si heading the leader board in the Pros.

The actor will perform a one-man acoustic concert Wednesday night.
Jeff Daniels has won Emmy and Drama Desk awards and has been nominated for four Golden Globes, four Screen Actors Guild awards and a Tony.
He?s acted in dozens of movi�es, plays and TV shows.
He?s a playwright, director and founder of the Purple Rose Theatre Company.
He?s a singer, songwriter and musician.
His entourage when he comes to Monroe Wednesday night? ?Just me, my wife and my dog.?
That?s not just any guitar Jeff Daniels is picking on stage. It?s one of a kind ? the Mar�tin OM Jeff Daniels Custom Signature Edition.
?It?s a privilege and an honor? to have a unique guitar, he said.
The instrument is based on a 1934 Martin C2 that the company made only in the 1930s.
Mr. Daniels was guitar shopping at Elderly Instruments in Lansing in 2003, when luthier Joe Konkoly showed him the old, broken Martin that he?d repaired and customized. Mr. Daniels immediately fell in love with it and it became his go-to guitar.
A few years ago, at Mr. Daniels? urging, Martin added the guitar to its signature series and has sold 40 of them. ?That?s pretty good,? Mr. Daniels said.
?It?s a great finger-picking guitar. It has a smaller body. ... I really like it,? Mr. Daniels said. ?It?s the only thing that goes with me.?
? Barbara Krolak
Mr. Daniels will show off the musical part of his life when he performs at Monroe Coun�ty Community College, the final stop in his six-city tour of Michigan. After that, it?s on to Chicago and New York.
On stage, it?ll simply be Mr. Daniels, his guitar and his easy-going style.
?I was between a movie (?Dumb and Dumber To?) and starting up ?Newsroom ? ? I was looking for something convenient to do and Michi�gan?s convenient and there are a lot of nice venues,? said the Chelsea native and resident. So he decided on a concert tour of smaller theaters around the state, he told The Monroe News in a telephone interview Thursday before performing in Traverse City.
To say Mr. Daniels? shows are only musical concerts wouldn?t be fair. He lets the audience in on glimpses of his life through his stories and songs.
He writes most of the blues �folk material he performs and each piece usually is preceded by a background story ? sometimes long, sometimes short; sometimes humorous, sometimes touching.
?I?m not too judgmental about what finds its way into a song,? he said of his inspira�tion. In fact, he jokes about it with his audience: ?That sounds like a song,? he?ll recall thinking at the time something is happening to him.
He used to write profusely in notebooks he keeps but he says he?s finding himself a little more judicious now.
?I write about things that might interest the audience about me or Hollywood or are humorous or introspective that people can relate to,? Mr. Daniels, 58, said.
His show is about 50 percent set and 50 percent determined by the audience, he said. If it seems they want to laugh, he?ll go in that direc�tion. If it seems they want to listen, he?ll go that way.
?I want people to have a good time. I want to have a good time,? he said.
Be forewarned, however. That usually means audience participation. Someone?s go�ing to find himself or herself up on stage to help the per�former entertain.
?It helps make up for the fact that there?s no band, no dancing girls. It?s fun and it?s unusual. ... People will be driving home, saying, ? Who knew we?d be doing the Big Bay Shuffle tonight?? ? Wednesday night?s booking at MCCC came up quickly, said college marketing direc�tor Joe Verkennes.
They had tried to get him when they were signing acts last spring for this season, but Mr. Daniels was unavail�able. The college is celebrat�ing its 50th anniversary and the La-Z-Boy Center its 10th anniversary and is celebrating with the most popular acts it?s hosted over the years. Mr. Daniels had performed there in 2007 to a sold-out audi�ence.
In November, they were contacted and told he had an opening in January and tickets went on sale at the beginning of the month.
Only about 80 seats in the 500-seat theater were available as of Friday afternoon. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.
For more information, call 384-4272.

I remember during my college years, there were songs from the bands which were playing in FM stations. These are song that were even used in our local movies, advertisements and TV shows. Bands are everywhere from bars and restaurant to fiestas and even small celebrations. People love bands even if some don't really produce original music and even their Randall Guitar Amplifiers are sometimes irritating to the ears. Still, people in our generation really like them. I wonder where they are now? Some have disbanded and some have gone solo.
Where's are the bands nowPosted by Suplado | 8/23/2013 | 0 comments »
Online ProtestPosted by Suplado | 8/23/2013 | 0 comments »
It seems that noise barrage and rallies are not that acceptable anymore. Maybe it's time to keep your drums, great meinl birch headliner cajon at guitar center, megaphones and placards. One of the very effective ways of protest nowadays is done online. Bring your sentiments though online posting, just like what will happened on Monday. A protest for the abolition of pork barrel. It only came from a simple post in social media and now almost millions are willing to join the protest. It's simple, not expensive and not quite a hassle to set up.
Pawn Star PhilippinesPosted by Suplado | 8/20/2013 | 0 comments »
Pawn Star casts an American reality television series that has been showing on History. Visit Manila on August 22 to 24 for this event. I am a fan of the show and hopefully when this raining will already stop, we can visit Glorietta during the said event. Hopefully they can find not just goldeneagle for gold coins but some amazing piece of history. I am sure there's a lot of serious collectors in the country, especially since we have been ruled by theAmericans during their regime in the past.

Universal Algebra, Algebraic Logic, and Databases
Author: B. Plotkin
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Category: Mathematics
Page: 438
View: 8065Modern algebra, which not long ago seemed to be a science divorced from real life, now has numerous applications. Many fine algebraic structures are endowed with meaningful contents. Now and then practice suggests new and unexpected structures enriching algebra. This does not mean that algebra has become merely a tool for applications. Quite the contrary, it significantly benefits from the new connections. The present book is devoted to some algebraic aspects of the theory of databases. It consists of three parts. The first part contains information about universal algebra, algebraic logic is the subject of the second part, and the third one deals with databases. The algebraic material of the flI'St two parts serves the common purpose of applying algebra to databases. The book is intended for use by mathematicians, and mainly by algebraists, who realize the necessity to unite theory and practice. It is also addressed to programmers, engineers and all potential users of mathematics who want to construct their models with the help of algebra and logic. Nowadays, the majority of professional mathematicians work in close cooperation with representatives of applied sciences and even industrial technology. It is neces sary to develop an ability to see mathematics in different particular situations. One of the tasks of this book is to promote the acquisition of such skills.

Superhero comics are nothing if not thrilling reads. These books feature colorful heroes battling equally colorful villains. The fate of the world is always at stake, whether threats come in the form of alien invasions, robot uprisings, or clones. It's exciting to read these stories, but we can't imagine it's very fun for the fictional people who inhabit these universes. What must it be like to head off to work every morning not knowing if Stilt-Man will have crashed through your window by the time you get home?
Naturally, some comic book locales are more dangerous and deadly than others. In this feature, we count down the top 10 most deadly spots in superhero comics. It's tricky estimating how many times each place has been destroyed. After all, there are decades of stories to consult, and some places face multiple simultaneous threats across numerous books. Still, we think this list is a handy resource for knowing what stops to avoid on your next tour of the Marvel and DC universes.
Location: US East Coast
Notable Defenders: Superman, Supergirl
Times Destroyed: Approximately 500 (Daily Planet building), 0 (the city at large)
Forget New York, Metropolis is easily the premier American city in DC's version of Earth. That makes it a prime target for all sorts of crime and supervillainy, not to mention the odd alien invasion. Things could be terrible on the ground, but Metropolis is lucky to count on Superman and his extended family for defense. Superman has prevented wholesale destruction of his city countless times. That said, the Daily Planet must be nearly bankrupted by all the times it's had to replace that damned spinning globe.
Countries Included: Latveria, Symkaria, Transia
Notable Defenders: Doctor Doom, Silver Sable
Times Destroyed: 1 (Not that Doom will admit it)
Mirroring our own world, there are certain regions of eastern Europe in the Marvel Universe that are constantly plagued by war, military uprisings, and general civil unrest. Exacerbating matters is hat the region is also home to several super-powered monarchs. Doctor Doom rules the tiny nation of Latveria with an iron fist. Life is actually pretty swell in Doomstadt if you don't mind being watched by Doombots all day long. But even here, Doom's paternal gaze didn't prevent the murder of thousands when the Marquis of Death came calling. Neighboring Latveria are other small, fictional countries like Symkaria and Transia.
Location: Westchester, NY
Notable Defenders: The X-Men
Times Destroyed: Once for every issue of Uncanny X-Men ever published
While this feature focuses mainly on cities and whole countries, we can't ignore the fact that one particular landmark in the Marvel Universe seems to be deadlier than any other. If you dwell within the X-Mansion, prepare to have your room blown apart and your neighbors melted into slag by Sentinels. The X-Mansion can barely last a week before being torn apart by Juggernaut, The Marauders, or some other band of villains with a grudge against Charles Xavier. It doesn't help that the building is shaped like a giant X. It's like Chuck wants his house to be a giant target visible from orbit.
The X-Men finally wised up and headed west, leaving the ruins of the X-Mansion behind. Sadly, it seems the curse has followed them. Their San Francisco facility was battered by Norman Osborn's Avengers, and the island nation of Utopia has already suffered several debilitating invasions. Maybe a nice, simple condo next time?
Countries Included: Umec, Kahndaq, Bialya
Notable Defenders: Black Adam, Isis
Times Destroyed: 4
If Eastern Europe is the source of much turmoil and warfare in the Marvel Universe, DC's Middle East is much the same way. Plenty of harsh, bloody battles have been fought in this region. But just as DC favors fictional cities over real locales, so too do most of its Middle Eastern countries not actually exist in real life. Take Umec, for instance. This country's name is actually an acronym for "Unnamed Middle Eastern Country". It's the go-to spot for any political turmoil or random Checkmate ops.
DC's Middle East rose to prominence in recent years thanks to 52 and World War III. If those stories taught us anything, it's that you absolutely, positively do not want to tick off the super-powered king of Kahndaq. Several million peasants in neighboring Bialya learned that the hard way when Black Adam ripped them limb from limb.
Location: California
Notable Defenders: Hal Jordan
Times Destroyed: 2
Coast City was once one of the more pleasant cities on America's west coast. Then Mongul and Cyborg Superman showed up one day and blew the place to hell. Millions perished instantly. Even in a world that's used to major, wide-scale disasters, it was a day that would live in infamy. Years later, Hal Jordan is back and the city is thriving once again. But that past tragedy casts a looming shadow. Coast City may now be crowned "The City Without Fear", but that only entices Hal's many enemies to make the city a primary target. Coast City already suffered the brunt of the Black Lantern uprising. What's next for these sunny streets?

Report that Ann Coulter and Jimmie Walker are dating is social media dy-no-mite
Legendary TV producer Norman Lear dropped a little bombshell in a recent interview that exploded heads all over the place.
Jimmie Walker, who played J.J. Evans on Lear's 1970s sitcom, "Good Times," dates conservative commentator Ann Coulter, Lear revealed.
"J.J. dates Ann Coulter!" said Kenya Barris, the creator of "black-ish" who did the interview for Entertainment Weekly. "You couldn't write that! That's fantastic!"
Social media's reaction was more like this: "Um, what?!"
"I love him; he's a wonderful guy, but I'll tell you something about him that'll astound you: He dates Ann Coulter," Lear told Barris, explaining that he and his wife had dinner with Coulter and Walker.
He said Coulter turned out to be "a dreamy, delicious, sweet person."
To repeat: Social media said "um, what?!"
Saw Jimmie Walker trending and thought he died but he's just gone to the Sunken Place pic.twitter.com/gC8FsLOLPg— DKT (@darleneturner53) April 4, 2017
Norman Lear says Jimmie Walker is dating Ann Coulter https://t.co/XWgfvv03WC pic.twitter.com/ZpYlssT5OI— jess sager (@ohheyjesssager) April 4, 2017
Apparently, Ann Coulter and Jimmy Walker (yes, from Good Times) are dating. I'm so embarrassed for both of them. Bless.— Awesomely Luvvie (@Luvvie) April 4, 2017
Ann Coulter and Jimmie Walker are officially the strangest couple ever. They can only be outdone if Tomi Lahren dated Louis Farrakhan.— Mark (@the8thangel) April 4, 2017
We are living in a time where Ann Coulter and Jimmie Walker are dating. Blink twice if you're being held against your will, Jimmie.— Martha (@MarthaYoung) April 5, 2017
When you find out Ann Coulter is dating Jimmy "J.J." Walker... pic.twitter.com/oAOw7IewH2— Big Red Shark (@Bigredshark) April 4, 2017
This is old news to some folks. Coulter and Walker were first linked romantically a decade ago when they showed up together to the 2007 TV Land Awards. In an interview later with The Blade, Walker was asked if the two share political views.
"Ann is a good friend and I enjoy our conversations," Walker said. "Do we agree on everything? Of course not!
"But that is what is missing in this country today: you should still be able to have friendships with people with whom you have philosophical differences with. Truth be told, at the TV Land Awards she was probably just using me to get to Greg Brady!!!!"
In an interview with HuffPost Live in 2013, Coulter confirmed the two were friends but said Walker was "spreading that rumor" that their relationship was more than platonic.

No I know this is absurd but I just do what I'm told. In this shot I did the fluid sims, shaders (that I have been using for the whole show) and comping. One of the main issues I have with working on television projects is that there just isn't enough time to do the things you want. There are several things I would have fixed in this shot but could not in the time allotted. In any case, try to enjoy

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The body of an Iraqi journalist critical of the government has been found at his home in Baghdad with a single bullet wound to the chest after he received threats, relatives, acquaintances and police said on Thursday.
Raad al-Jubbouri was a presenter on local television channel al-Rasheed and wrote editorials about institutional corruption for an Iraqi newspaper.
A photograph of the body seen by Reuters showed bruising to the face. Initial police reports said the injuries indicated Jubbouri had scuffled with his assailant before being shot in the heart late on Tuesday at his home in the western Qadisiya district.
The identity of the killer was not known.
"He paid the price of being a journalist in Iraq," said Jubbouri's brother Ahmed.
The head of the Journalistic Freedoms Observatory and a person who knew Jubbouri said the presenter had been threatened several times before his death and gave them telephone numbers to call if anything should happen to him.
"He received letters threatening him a year ago," said the person who knew Jubbouri but declined to be identified. "I read two of them, they contained death threats and foul words".
Iraq has consistently ranked amongst the most dangerous places in the world for journalists, long-running civil conflict combining with political tensions in Baghdad.
The head of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting Ammar al-Shahbander was killed in a car bomb explosion in Baghdad over the weekend.
The Committee to Protect Journalists, a media advocacy group, says that at least 15 journalists have been killed in Iraq since the beginning of 2013.

This project is solving the 3-2-1 LIFTOFF: Launch that Rocket! challenge. Description
Our project aims to educate, engage and spread awareness with the latest scientific missions launched and the different phases to assemble a mission; this takes part through the data base in our Android application which allows the user to go through different NASA missions by selecting the target. The description given in each mission states the mission's payload, vehicle, launch site, cost and timeline. After that part being done, the user gets to assemble a mission. He is given a specific mission with specific requirements to fulfill; from this statement he will be able to select the payload required, then the launching vehicle. He will also be provided with launching weather precautions; after reading them and choosing the launch site, he will get the weather forecast through internet and will be able to make his launching decision.We are planning to let the application read the weather forecast and tell the user whether the weather conditions are go or no go for launching.More challenging missions with different requirements will be added to engage the user more with taking the decision for which payload to carry and which vehicle will carry it and from where. After the public has been engaged into the several considerations taken by space agencies for designing a mission, we plan to launch a website or let the application be connected to an online server, through which the public will begin to design their own mission with their own requirements to fulfill, also extending the data base to include more launching vehicles and sites. This network will help space agencies by viewing different mission designs the public builds. It also helps as a social network connecting all space enthusiasts and experts sharing their knowledge and helping in our exploration of our universe. Further on, designing missions competitions may be able to be held on this platform.
