Product Designer
I design products and create things with a lot of personality.
My abbreviated
I always thought my illustration, animation, or music hobbies would define my career. Little did I know, I'd fall into the digital product design world through a series of fortunate events. From startup to startup, I quickly advanced into roles which enabled me to learn a bucket of skills that we now call product design. The things that I thought would define my career, helped me start a new one.
I've also always been an advocate for sharing skills with others–whether it was creating an online course on how to design a game or creating an event where people could learn type design.
For three years, I had the pleasure of running the product design program at Tradecraft, where I and a team of other talented instructors trained over 350 highly motivated and talented people to work as product designers in the San Francisco Bay Area at companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, and Tesla.
For more of my work history, take a look at my Linkedin.

- I solve hard problems and have good intuition for how people use products (UX).
- I write production-level code in HTML + CSS + basic Javascript.
- I care about the business needs, implications, and possibilities of my designs.
- I have strong beliefs, but am a good listener who likes to collaborate.
- I tell stories using both words and visuals, and plan the best way to make my point.
- I enjoy mentoring and teaching team members what I've learned.
- I love illustrating and animating graphics when I get the chance!
My ongoing

- Polishing each feature in HTML, CSS, and crappy JS.
- Using data from Community & Support teams to plan and scope the product roadmap.
- Creating design systems that are simple to understand.
- Working with marketing to devise new ways to tell great stories.
- Mentoring fellow designers

014: How to Create a Thriving Tribe and Community of Followers with Host Srini Rao
For 10 years, Srini Rao found himself stuck in corporate American and frustrated by the stagnancy of his career. ?I was somebody who truly was always average at being in that environment,? he says. ?I was always tied to technology and I didn?t want to be in sales for the rest of my life, so I decided to push the reset button on my career and went back to business school.?
Ironically, Srini eventually found his way back to a career based in technology after dabbling in blogging and content creation during business school. Srini started The Skool of Life, his personal blog which eventually led to Blogcast FM, his podcast project where he interviews up and coming bloggers and the world's leading entrepreneurs.?

PhD Research
Planning Quechua Families: Indigenous Subjectivities, Inequality and Kinship within the Peruvian Family Planning Landscape
The effects of the Peruvian state's current family planning programme on the rural indigenous poor, who it is now explicitly targeting as primary recipients of reproductive health care, is the central investigation of my doctoral project. Existing literature discusses Quechua-indigeneity and birth in the region, however contraception and family planning arguably have a different social value as they focus on the question of future, uncertain kin, rather than definitive, expected children as in pregnancy. The Quechua in Peru have had a particularly fraught relationship with the state and reproductive health, for example in the 1990s over 200,000+ indigenous men and women were coercively, and at times violently, sterilised as part of the government's national family planning campaign. Contemporary examples of structural and obstetric violence can still be found, enhancing the complexity and necessity of further study with this group. A central aim in this research will therefore be to investigate the interplay of inequality and family planning programmes; if and how Quechua-indigenous women are (not) being coerced into using family planning and contraception by non-indigenous health workers representing the state's political interests at a local level. The second central aim will be to study how the increasingly encouraged use of biomedical contraception (whether coercive or not), affects indigenous bodily subjectivities and understandings about kinship among this group. This research will explore the intricacies of family planning and indigeneity through attending to the way that reproductive health policy is translated into local worlds and onto local bodies.

Lolz, what will it feel like getting into plane and seeing the air hostesses dressed in the finest silk, cashmere, wool, in the very best haute couture? I would think "Wait… Am I on the right flight?"
A Chinese airline is taking its passengers to new heights and doing it in great style.
Hainan Airlines is taking uniform out and bringing in a fresh, new, stylish haute couture look.
With dresses cut at knee length, and varied designs featuring coats, long coats, aprons in grey and purple colors, floral prints and embellishments, the refreshingly beautiful collection was designed by Laurence Xu.
A mix of modern and traditional culture, the stylish designs are inspired by the traditional Chinese dress "Cheongsam" with traditional Chinese elements, of prominence, the mythical Roc bird.

My work is mainly in the office; I am not on the ground every day eating lunch with students, hanging out with students, and living with students, like all of the other missionaries are. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to witness the work that the Lord is doing on campus, and I was struck by the impact that he is making on students. This semester, our missionaries are leading groups of students in a book study that involves watching a short video on DVD. I lead one of these groups and I had forgotten to take the disc out of my computer before I gave the (now empty) case to Annie, the next missionary leading a group. An hour before her group, Annie called me asking for the DVD. I told her I could be there shortly and bring it to her.
Then, before I could leave to bring her the DVD, I got caught up working on a reply to an email that came in. Pretty soon, 5 minutes before her group started, I was speed-walking across campus to bring her the disc. I was so frustrated with myself that I had gotten distracted and was going to be late to bring it to her. But, the Lord knows us better than we know ourselves, and he had something to show me. As I climbed the 5 flights of stairs to Annie's dorm room, I was getting more and more frustrated with myself. By the time I made it to her door, I was out of breath and wondering why I always had to be running so late.
I knocked. A student opened the door and I was greeted by the sight of five or six college women sitting in a circle eating hot soup. They were talking and laughing. A few were still serving soup in the kitchen. The smell of soup and a welcoming atmosphere wafted out the door. These women, freshman who had recently left the familiar world of family and high school, had found people to connect with. They had formed a community.
I needed to see that. The timing was perfect. If I had come over with the DVD when Annie first called me, I would have come over to an empty apartment, said hi to Annie, and then left. But, God wanted me to see this scene. He needed me to see that the work we are doing is not limited to what I do on my laptop or in a spreadsheet. The time I put into ordering books, training student missionaries, keeping track of the budget so that we can buy materials for our events, and sending countless emails isn't the reason I do my job. I do my job because the work we are doing is creating community, building relationships, and changing lives. The Lord knows what we need, and when we need it. He knew I needed to be late that day. He had something to show me.

The problem with definitions isn't always that they exist, but that assumptions occur because there is a hierarchical order within definitions. For example how everyone is presumed straight until proven otherwise. The thing that is subordinate simply becomes invisible. With definition we know what to expect and what not toexpect, and we can get a sense of belonging. It is supposed to make things easier, but it also fails to include the complexity of reality. Definitions seldom fit. Even though definitions can be problematic letting things and people stay undefined seems hard for us. Not defining could be considered a failure, like something has missed its purpose. Although it is this failure to define that can help us question how our world is organized and what it means. For me queer is a term that pushes boundaries and is based on the unwillingness to define. Something that challenges norms and disturbs the order of things.
The discussion about the need for definitions is also possible to apply to objects and in this case corpus. Traditional corpus could be considered the embodiment of heteronormativity, but looking beyond the norms there is something queer about corpus. I have worked with enhancing this. For me corpus contains a constant movement and therefor it speaks about the non-defined. My corpus loses its form and regains it again, it's a continuous movement. The rhythm of losing form and regaining refers more to the function of corpus, to pour in and pour out, a space that shrinks and grows. There is something to gain by allowing things to move, by not relying on stable definitions and not rushing to conclusions about everything around us. For me movement is about possibility. Possibility to exist and take up space. Possibility to step outside boundaries and break patterns.

As Representative Peter King's hearings on "Muslim radicalization" refocus attention on Islamophobia, a new report sheds light on the network of private security firms tapping into public funds that push an anti-Muslim agenda to law enforcement agencies.
An organization called Security Solutions International (SSI) is one focus of the Political Research Associates' report (pdf) , titled "Manufacturing the Muslim Menace: Private Firms, Public Servants, & the Threat to Rights and Security."
SSI "trades on the reputation of Israeli counterterrorism expertise by using Israeli veterans as trainers."
This is the ideology that SSI, which "taps into public funds for its trainings," promotes, according to the report:
Following civil liberties advocates' criticism of SSI's courses on "Radical Islamic Culture" in 2008, SSI intensified its promotions for the course. SSI Chief Executive Officer Solomon Bradman responded to criticism by saying, "I can't take the responsibility of my course linking their religion [Islam] to terrorism. I think their religion got linked to terrorism a long time ago."56 SSI planned to expand the reach of its "Islamic Jihadist Threat" seminar, holding it in even more venues, including Detroit, Minneapolis, Washington, DC, Dallas, Kansas, and Boston…
The Counter Terrorist's coverage [, an SSI publication,] includes infrastructure protection, school shooting threat assessments, intelligence gathering and what SSI calls "the Radical Islamic Threat." Articles like "U.S. Prison Recruitment for Jihad"—a piece by M. Zuhdi Jasser and Raphael Shore, founder of the Clarion Fund, a nonprofit organization "that aims to alert Americans about the real threat of Radical Islam"—reinforce an image of Muslims as menacing militant fundamentalists. The magazine's regular inclusion of such articles allows the publication to function as a credentialed law enforcement outlet for authors who exaggerate and distort terrorist threats.
The report also notes other instances where a far-right pro-Israel agenda has been promoted hand-in-hand with Islamophobia.
Here's the bottom line the report gives on support for Israel and Islamophobia:
Islamophobic story lines characterize the widespread support for Palestinian statehood and opposition to the continuing Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands among Muslim-American leaders as evidence of sympathy for terrorism
The report is further evidence of Scott McConnell's observation "that anti-Muslim bigotry is becoming embedded in American political culture, and Israel and its supporters are playing a substantial role in generating it."

It is officially announced today that a live-action adaptation film of Kengo Hanazawa's survival zombie manga I am a Hero is in the works for a 2015 release. The manga has been serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits since 2009. It has reached 4 million print run and the latest/15th tankobon is scheduled to be released in Japan on June 30. The story is set in a modern-day Japan attacked by an infectious disease which turns people into carnivorous ghouls called "ZQN."
41-year-old actor You Oizumi plays the protagonist Hideo Suzuki who works as a manga assistant. Luckily for him, he has a shotgun for clay target shooting which helps him to survive the apocalyptic situation. Oizumi is known as Nezumi Otoko in the live-action adaptation films of Shigeru Mizuki's horror manga GeGeGe no Kitaro, and also voiced in several anime films including Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away (2001), The Cat Returns (2002), and Howl's Moving Castle (2004). 21-year-old actress Kazumi Arimura, who will voice the protagonist character Marnie in Studio Ghibli's 2014 summer film When Marnie Was There, will join the cast as a high school girl Hiromi Hayakari, with 26-year-old Masami Nagasawa as a nurse named Yabu.
Shinsuke Sato (GANTZ, Library Wars) directs the film with a script by Akiko Nogi (Library Wars). Makoto Kamiya (Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-out Attack, Japan Sinks) works on special effects.
The shooting began in early June and will finish in August.

The USB-B works in asynchronous mode to support not only 384kHz/32bits high-resolution audio but also the DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz and even 11.2MHz formats for maximized performance and the most direct way to enjoy excellent quality. To safeguard quality when connected to a computer, Marantz built extended isolation around the USB-B input to eliminate the chance of high frequency noise generated by the computer entering the ND8006. Furthermore, the front USB port accepts USB thumb or hard drives for standard music file playback.
Marantz Musical Digital Filtering (MMDF)
The ND8006 features the unique Marantz Musical Digital Filtering (MMDF), inspired by our audiophile reference class technology. For Marantz, using standard digital filter solutions is not an option, as this filtering is crucial to the sound reproduction of digital input signals. As a result, we invested extensively in gaining expert knowledge, leading into highly-acclaimed Marantz Music Mastering technology used in award-winning Premium Range 10 Series products. Adapted for the ND8006 hardware design, the solution is called Marantz Musical Digital Filtering. Two selectable, digital filter characteristics cater for different tastes, and each handle even the minutest of detail with loving care in the digital audio signal, transforming new media files into the finest of high-resolution playback.
Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and AirPlay Capability
Featuring Bluetooth & Wi-Fi wireless streaming connectivity, the ND8006 is equipped with an advanced dual antenna transceiver system, for robust streaming even in congested urban environments. With Apple's AirPlay compatibility, you can enjoy listening to your favourite tracks wirelessly from your favourite iOS device such as iPhone and iPad.
Preserving sound quality
The individual "OFF mode" setting allows unused sections of the ND8006 to be switched off to avoid any chance of interference, and to keep the audio source signal paths in use as pure as possible for further improved sound quality. The shielded toroidal transformer further minimises internal noise while the rigid, double-layer chassis cares for optimal shielding and stability.
Audiophile D/A conversion and unique Marantz HDAM
The ND8006 is built with legendary Marantz sound quality commitment. The audiophile ESS9016 Sabre DAC, with dual crystal clocks ensures accurate handling of all digital signals. The analogue circuitry uses carefully selected components plus the famous Marantz Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAMs) resulting in wide dynamic range and lowest distortion: in place of the all-in-one 'chip amplifiers' used elsewhere, these miniature amplifiers are built from separate, optimised components for the very best sound quality, and are found in Marantz products all the way up to the Reference series players and amplifiers.
High quality headphone output
For music lovers enjoying their favourite recording directly via headphones the ND8006 features a high-quality headphone stage with dedicated amplifier module HDAM-SA2. To work with a wider variety of headphones, the gain factor can be changed from low to mid to high. By using this, it is possible to drive low to high impedance headphone without any problem.
Independent Variable output terminal
Alongside its conventional line output for use into an amplifier like the perfectly matching PM8006, the ND8006 provides a separate variable level output for connection to powered or active speakers, or to a power amp direct input, allowing it to be used as a multi-source digital player/preamp. The volume can also be controlled via apps or by using the remote handset.

In the same way that everything Midas touches turns to gold, everything that Meghan Markle wears becomes instantly coveted by the masses. The most recent product to undergo this "Meghan Markle effect," if you will, is a product that she seldom ever applies: highlighter.
The recently appointed Duchess of Sussex attended the Young Leaders Awards at Buckingham Palace, with Prince Harry and the Queen, wearing a double-breasted dress made by Prada that is straight out of the '50s or '60s. She paired the look with makeup that was ultra-modern, though, including a subtle smoky eye, glossy pink lips, a hint of blush, and highlighter that made her skin look absolutely radiant.
As mentioned, it's the highlighter that got people talking. Partly because it's something Markle rarely wears, partly because she looked so stunning, and partly because it was such a daring makeup choice for a royal. Chatter quickly spread across social media about the look, with people scrambling to figure out which highlighter she opted to swipe on.
They look so good …. Also can someone tell or guess what highlighter does Meghan wear? Because oh My God look at that glow NEED THAT #meghanmarkle #DuchessofSussex pic.twitter.com/Qnt8NEKc1f
— Anne (@bookishlynni) June 26, 2018
Honestly if I see anyone complaining about how Meghan looks tonight I am deleting the internet for all of you. How can anyone complain about that?! She looks stunning!! #DuchessofSussex #MeghanMarkle pic.twitter.com/Apd2B1pfwO
— Mollie (@mxlliiee) June 26, 2018
We've yet to get an answer about which highlighter she swiped on, but PopSugar speculated that "In the right light, it almost looked purple, à la Fenty's Unicorn Match Stix, but that is most likely due to glare from camera flashes." According to OK Magazine, it could be Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat based on some of her previous looks.
We'll keep our ears open and our cheekbones ready for the official answer.

What Every Black Femme Fears When Dating a Black Butch
Gay Muslim Survival Guide
A number of people have asked me to explain or clarify issues raised in my coming out post, Yes, I Am. So here's an attempt to respond to that feedback as well as offer some constructive points of advice for my fellow LGBT Muslims.
I am Muslim, by choice. Faith is central to my identity and without it I'd be lost as I still clearly remember my life before Islam.
So how do we reconcile faith with sexual orientation or sexuality? This is perhaps the most commonly asked question for gay Muslims but for me the question misses the larger point that orientation is not the same as sexuality. Beyond semantics, some of the language used to describe orientation is unhelpful. Orientation is not limited to who you sleep with and who you sleep with does not necessarily define your orientation. While our community has many hang-ups when it comes…

Dr. James Miranda Barry
By the time Dr. James Miranda Barry reached Canada in 1858, he was already a legend in medical and military circles.
Barry had a reputation for being a genius as a surgeon. He had performed the first successful Caesarean section by a British doctor — only the sixth known successful Caesarean by a European. He also understood the importance of sanitation long before European medicine realized how infection worked. In an age when bloodletting by leeches and freezing the patient were common cures, Barry was an apostle of scientific medicine. In an era that thought that bathing, fresh air, and fresh food were harmful to the sick, he prescribed these things. The mortality rate dropped instantly in any hospital he was in charge of.
He was also considered a man of high and progressive ideals – he fought tirelessly for the right to medical treatment for women, for blacks, and…

The Hotel Proverbs Taipei is a boutique property with a hipster edge. It is a member of the Design Hotels chain of hotels, which in turn is a partner to Starwood Hotels and Resorts.
The hotel is a 3 minute walk from Zhongxiao Fuxing metro station, which is 3 stops on the blue line (Bannan Line) from Taipei Main Station, where many will arrive into Taipei by either bus or bullet train from Taoyuan Airport.
In the immediate area, there are local food stores, convenience stores and other random shops. About a 5-10 minute walk away to the south of the hotel (about 5 blocks), there are numerous upmarket restaurants and bars. There is also a large Sogo department store just 2 minutes walk away, and a trendy shopping district for the 20s crowd (called Dongqu locally).
The lobby of the hotel occupies a compact area of the ground floor. The concierge desk can be found here, along with a small shop selling baked goods.
An upmarket restaurant called TK Seafood & Steak is also on the ground floor. As the name implies the restaurant serves seafood and steak in various styles, such as Italian, French, Japanese and Thai. The beef served here is sourced from America and Australia. A buffet breakfast is also served here, which I did not have but have heard is of good quality. The restaurant has high ceilings from which chandeliers hang, giving it an opulent yet open setting.
The check-in area however isn't on the ground floor. Rather, a concierge member escorted me via elevator to the 3rd floor to check in. The elevator is illuminated with red lighting and has seemingly distressed wooden flooring to add to the hipster appeal.
There is no front desk per se to check in at. Rather, there is a cosy lounge where staff assist with the check-in process efficiently and with a good command of English.
I booked a Deluxe Room and that was the room type received. SPG members are not entitled to upgrades at Design Hotels, but properties may provide them at their discretion. No big deal though as being surrounded by the unique decor was satisfying enough.
Incidentally, the bar is right next to the check-in area and seems to be quite popular as the place was still pumping late in the evening. It might be a bit unsettling though if one arrives late at night to check in, with a lively bar going at full steam just metres away.
I was brought up to my room by a member of the check-in staff, who also explained the functions of the room and the various amenities. The room key is a physical key which goes in a keyhole, as opposed to a keycard.
The room itself was designed with an open plan concept. As such, there was no real separation between the bedroom, bathroom and living room/lounging area. As you can probably glean from the photos, the property is similar to motels in Taiwan where the young and energetic go about doing their evening dues, albeit with a more upmarket and hip environment.
The bathroom area though was stylishly designed with marble bathrooms with a free-standing bathtub, separate rainforest shower and Japanese 'washlet'. The washlet was a later model, which automatically opens as you approach it.
The design is not really suitable for families as the bathroom opens directly to the living room/bedroom and is only separated by a curtain which can be drawn. The toilet is enclosed by a glass door so not for the self-conscious.
The shower amenities are from the 'Nero Oud' line of Allegrini Amenities, which are gentle on the skin with a refreshing aroma – comparable to Aromatherapy Associates amenities provided in Conrad hotels.
Bathroom amenity kits are provided, including a carry bag which is yours to keep. They contain pretty much all you could possibly need, including dental kits, shavers, mouthwash, cotton swabs, loofahs and comb.
The living room/lounging area has an antique style sofa and blend in nicely with the dark wooden tones of the flooring and walls. The sofa though isn't very practical for prolonged lounging as there is little padding on the sides, making it impractical to lie down or use the sofa as one typically does. The TV is also not visible from the sofa.
An in-room safe, umbrella and plush bathrobes were also provided.
The mini-bar was complimentary (and is for all rooms) except for a bottle of wine and was well-stocked with drinks, including 2 beers, and various snacks and Nespresso machine. Hard liquor though is noticeably missing, but one can always pop downstairs to the bar for a late night tipple.
The bedroom is extremely comfortable, being on the slightly more firm side but with a good amount of padding, which is quite typical of Asian hotels. A low-hanging chandelier functions as a bed-side lamp, which continues the kitsch yet attractive design of the room.
The TV is quite large and adequate and had complimentary 'pay-tv' including adult movies (although i suspect they will be paid at some point).
The work desk is quite small and not very useful for getting stuff done, but working isn't really the point of this hotel.
Everything in the room is Proverbs Hotel branded, right down to the tissue box cover. Most of the lights in the room were dimmable with antique style switches. Next to the TV, there is a standing clothes hanger perfect for hanging jackets, coats or suits. True to style, it also follows the hipster trend.
There is also a nice small and narrow balcony outside the bedroom which wraps around to see what's going on on the streets below.
A basket/tray was left on the bed which included a handwritten greeting card and details the prices of merchandise for purchase, such as the hotel-branded umbrella, towels, bathrobe etc. A card to remind guests to leave a TripAdvisor review is also included, which advertises that the guest will receive a special gift upon checkout. I didn't do a TripAdvisor review and so can't report on what the gift is.
This hotel is probably my new favourite hotel in Taipei. It is better located than other offerings from the major chains, which generally have the higher end properties near the Taipei 101 building, which is far from other attractions.
There are also loads of restaurants nearby to suit your budget, with street food places in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, and more upmarket places within a 5-10 minute walk.
The property has also been meticulously designed in its particular theme, but may not appeal to everyone. In particular, the design of the room I stayed in is not suitable to families with its open plan bathroom. However, it would probably appeal to those between 20-35.
One item of note though is that there is a rooftop pool on the 12th floor, which looks nice in photos, but I did not visit on this particular visit. It is open until I believe 9pm.
My room rate was 5400 NTD incl tax, which is much lower than rooms usually go for. A 20% discount was applied to my rate due to finding a lower price advertised by a third party online travel agency, allowing me to apply for a 'Best Rate Guarantee' through SPG. Rooms usually go for between 7500-9500 NTD, which is around 250-300 USD, putting it in the same league as the W Taipei and Grand Hyatt Taipei.
For myself though, I would definitely stay again next time I'm in Taipei.

January 2019
Dear Hawthorn School District 73 Parents and Guardians,
District 73 is moving to a more efficient residency verification process that will be easier for parents/guardians. Currently, all families are required to bring three documents to our District- Wide Residency Verification Event in August to demonstrate proof of residency on a yearly basis. Copies are made of those documents and kept in the student's school record.
Beginning the spring of 2019, the District is contracting with a third-party vendor to automatically verify student address information. The vendor will use a parent's legal first and last name and address to crosscheck the information against other electronic databases such as utility companies. We anticipate the overwhelming majority of our families will be electronically verified. If your residency is electronically verified, there will be no need to submit any additional paperwork to certify that you live within the District's boundaries.
If the District is unable to verify your address, you will receive a letter directly from our district office. The letter will provide details regarding the additional information you will need to provide in order for your child to start the 2019-20 school year.
Verifying residency is an effort to protect taxpayers and district resources by identifying non- residents attending District 73 schools. Illinois law mandates that parents demonstrate residency prior to enrollment in school and allows for periodic verification to validate compliance with the law. This new process will meet the requirements of the law while being more convenient for parents.
Please contact Hawthorn District Office at 847-990-4200 with any questions or concerns.

Luckily, my husband got it for me so i didn't die or throw a tantrum. And seriously, I have yet to use the apron…it's like my most prized possession. xoxo.

The enrolment procedure for entry into BRECC requires prospective families to be placed on our waiting list. Any family wishing to complete this process are required to make an appointment for a tour of the Centre, at which the necessary paperwork can be completed. We are unfortunately unable to conduct waitlist tours on a walk-in basis. Families will be contacted when a place becomes available. Please note that there is a non-refundable administration fee applicable to join the waiting list.
Our orientation process gives families the opportunity to share information with, and to get to know, the educators who will be caring for their child. It is also carefully designed to allow children who are entering the Centre to explore the environment independently, prior to their official commencement date at the Centre.
BRECC offers either full-time or part-time positions in our rooms. Children are required to attend a minimum of 2 days of care, and all days must be consecutive.
Please note that:
- Priority of enrolment is given to employees of Calvary Health Care
- Joining the waiting list does not guarantee enrolment
- All care is billed per day, regardless of actual hours of usage
- There is no discount for multiple children in care
- Public Holidays and absences from the centre are charged at full rates
- A NON-REFUNDABLE $50.00 Administration Fee MUST accompany your Waiting List Application, which can be paid by direct deposit. The Centre does not have EFTPOS or credit card facilities.

By design, coincidence, or some intersection of the two, this issue focuses on writing about families. There are fathers: Judith Skillman's prize-winning poem "June Bug" ("Heat dozes in the road. / You think of your father, / his love for the stars, / those summer evenings"); Kip Knott's memoir-style prose "Gabriel's Horns" ("My father, Gabriel Andrew Henry, had horns and a forked tongue"); and Dorothy Deaver Clark's story "Still: Life" ("LeeEarle motioned the doctor to follow her to the bedroom where her father lay in his bed with hands clasped over the neatly drawn bedspread and his head propped up by two pillows sheathed with masterfully ironed pillows slips.").
There are mothers: the grief stricken Liz whose husband has accidentally run over and killed their toddler in Dana Knott's story "Water Clock"; and the narrator/letter writer in Carole Chipps Carlson's epistolary story "Letters to a Son."
There is a grandmother: in "Wort," a poem by Kimberly Carter Dulgeroglu ("Of the poisonous, worrisome variety, / my grandmother's shelves were filled with sticky, / bottles of labeled herbs, garnishes, / seasonings she never used."); and the small and large dramas of life as a sibling: an adult relationship with a brother and his children in "Dive," a poem by Tamara Titus ("My niece and nephew are learning to dive, / but Jacob's feet keep going in first, and as the sweat / pools against the underwire of my bra, I regret / not bringing a suit"); and Bradley Buchanan's odd and oddly moving little story "The Chubby Family" ("I was the only one you could call even remotely fat, but we went in order of age, not in order of actual flabbiness. So my beanpole kid brother Scotty was Chubby Wubby; I was Chubbier Wubbier; Mom was Even Chubbier; Dad was Chubbiest Wubbiest.").
Jessica Goodfellow's prize-winning story "The Problem with Pilgrims" is the most unusual piece in the issue, composed of short segments that deliberately thwart the fluidity and context of a conventional narrative, while creating a narrative logic of their own, and edgier in tone than most of the work in Emrys: "The problem with pilgrims is they think words are souvenirs. // The problem with pilgrims is that, though they haven't been here before, they insist everything has been picked up and placed down a quarter inch to the left of where it used to be." Family in Goodfellow's work is actually the first family, so to speak, appearing in a poem that erupts mid-way through this very short story:
God let Adam name the beast of the Earth.
In turn Adam let Eve name the long-legged birds
he'd seen her watching, with their built-in
backup plans. He let her.
How did he think he could stop her? Still,
somehow the fact of his listening
perplexed her so that she gave them
names sounding only close to what
she had wanted to say: egret, bittern, crane.
Then the narrative resumes: "The pilgrims must have let your sisters name something."
We are destined, it seems, to live and relive the complex and often problematic family relationships established by this very first family, as the work in Emrys reminds us.

Warpwolves are deep indigo canines that stalk the radioactive wastes of the Mutant Future. They are cunning pack hunters, and doggedly pursue prey over any distance.
Packs of warpwolves use their teleportation to maximum effect in combat, blinking in and out of existence around the target to disorient it; consequently, groups of 3 or more warpwolves collectively receive +2 To Hit when attacking the same foe. And their bites are particularly savage, as they clamp down and teleport a short distance away...tearing away large chunks of flesh in the process.
Raising and training warpwolf cubs is extremely difficult, but the beasts are highly prized as loyal companions.
Mutations: Enhanced Vision (Night Vision), Reflective Epidermis (Radiation), Teleport

Symbolism and Meaning of the Strength Tarot Card
A mature woman, the female principle, cradles the head of a lion in her hands. Crowning her head and adorning her white garment are the flowers and leaves of nature. Above her head is the symbol of continual creation, the infinity sign.
The lion is the power of the king, of sexual fertility and drive and animal strength. She controls the lion through love, thereby nurturing all of nature., shown by the forest and mountains of the eternal garden which surrounds them.
This is the card of easy mastery over the problems of material life through the power of love.
The Tarot is a system of both divination (foretelling the future or the circumstances of the present or past) and philosophy. It is said that after the burning of the great library at Alexandria, the scholars, mystics and philosophers created the system of Tarot so that the ancient wisdom could always be received. Tarot images represent the great archetypes in a manner that makes them open to understanding on many levels.

Behold your little ones (11-3-18)
"Behold your little ones"
How to start this blog without crying tears of sadness, frustration and unbelief? This topic shouldn't even exist in our society. As I saw my girls getting ready for school, I couldn't help but think of the many girls their age, and even younger, who are also getting ready, but for something monstrous and soul wrenching. My girls woke up from a soft, warm bed, turned off their alarm and kneeled down next to their beds to thank God for another day. They go to refresh themselves. They wash their faces, they brush their teeth. They walk into their closet to fight the dilemma of what to wear. What a hard decision that is. Should I wear the yellow top, will it match my shoes? Oh, the simple decisions of teenage girls.
For Linda, a 13-year-old teenager, things were different. One day, just like my girls, Linda woke up and got ready to start her day. Because of her home situation (fighting and drug abuse), Linda made a decision, she will be leaving her home tonight. She had met someone on social media, and this someone had convinced her that he was the answer to her prayers, and she will be the happiest girl in the world. Now Linda gets ready, but not to go to school like she used to. Now she gets ready to be sold as a sex slave. Her Facebook "boyfriend" sold her at truck stops along his normal route.
Linda is just one example of what is happening not only in our country, but in the world. Each day children and teenagers are becoming the victims of sex trafficking. According to the Our Rescue website by Tim Ballard, in America alone there are an estimated 10,000 children who are smuggled across the border to be sold as sex slaves each year. But there is no good estimate. After all, sex trafficking is an underground business. It is reported that there could be up to 2.4 million victims of sex trafficking in the United States alone (Roby, J., 2017). Doesn't it
make your skin crawl to think that it could be your daughter, your son, nephews or nieces. It could be your neighbor's children, it could be your kid's friends.
Then, we can ask ourselves, who is buying children for sex? Or as they are known in the sex trafficking business, who are the "Johns"? Can someone truly have so much darkness in them to put children through such pain. Who has such a heart of stone, not to be touched by the innocence and fragility of their victim? You would be surprised to know the identities of many of them. It could be your co-worker, a police officer, lawyer, or even your child's pediatrician, teacher or church leader (Cardenas, A., 2017).
Like Linda, many children find themselves living in homes where they suffer from physical, sexual, psychological and/or emotional abuse. Another characteristic is that parents abuse drugs and don't give their children the attention and quality of life they need in order to grow healthy. It has been found in other research that poverty and family history of abuse are the top predictors that lead to sex trafficking in the US (Boyce, S., 2018). That is because children who live under these circumstances want a way out, and like Linda, running away seems like a better option.
I'm sure it won't be surprising to know that the internet is another big problem when it comes to trying to fight sex trafficking. There are many websites that have become the place to visit for those "John's" who are looking for their next victim. And it is also through social media that children are groomed every day, until they are trapped and turned into sex merchandise.
When I first heard about sex trafficking, I imagined adults being sold for sex, and it made me sick to imagine that a human being could be submitted to such cruelty. However, when I learned that children were also victims of such human atrocity, I knew I had to do my part to
protect God's most vulnerable children. We need to bring awareness to how big this problem is, and how it keeps growing.
There are many individuals who are adding their grain of sand to make a difference and contribute to the "abolition" of sex trafficking. Let me tell you about my friend Trista. She is a mother of 4 wonderful children. She is a violin teacher, a violinist for a small theater in our community and the leader of a youth orchestra. She is a busy girl, but that didn't stop her. Now she is also the organizer of a 5K walk/run event that takes place in December to bring awareness to this cause.
There are so many ways in which you can get involved and become a child advocate, a liberator, or an angel for those who have lost their freedom in the cruelest of ways. Talk to your local authorities. Find ways to get involved in your community, volunteer in programs directed to those who are at a higher risk of becoming victims. Write to your political leaders, ask for laws that can protect the rights of victims, and for stronger punishments for those who are found guilty of the crime. If you can't organize a 5K walk/run, then bake some goodies and donate the money to an organization that helps children. There is no such thing as a small contribution when it comes to saving children from the monster of sex trafficking.
Now that you know, you also need to do something about it, because not doing anything is not an option.

MFA Interaction Design
136 West 21 Street
Third Floor
New York, NY 10011
A paradigm shift is taking place in front of our eyes. After the initial hype over the digital revolution, people are realizing that technologies are changing their lives exponentially without necessarily improving the way they live: design is not about the technology but rather human experience and cultural transformation.
But how can we design for human experience, which neither can be captured nor specified and will itself be transformed by the very processes and products of design?
In his talk, Daniel Rosenberg proposes a radical new approach to "experience design", called Transformational Design—a collective and operational framework and model that allows designers to bring forth new experiences for themselves and for others in explicit and reflective ways. This model combines Mindful Awareness practices (Vipassana) with hands-on and improvisational design techniques (using Physical Computing). In the talk, Daniel describes his model and presents the results of 14 workshops, where participants play as users and designers, exchange expressions of their experiences, and respond by putting together electronic/digital materials for one another.
With Transformational Design, designers design with human experience as their design subject; bring about truly new products through experiences never lived before, and reflect about their own and other's transformations resulting from their designs.
Daniel Rosenberg is an architect, designer, and researcher with a fresh vision of how to expand the current dialogue about technology and creativity, by tapping the basic and profound "feelings and doings" that constitute the human experience.
Daniel is currently completing his PhD at the MIT Design & Computation Group, and he is a collaborator at Matriztica and professor of Innovation at the Catholic University of Chile. He has shown his work in Chile, Israel, Canada, India, Mexico, Colombia, and the US, including SXSW 2013 and 2014, MIT, Columbia University, and Disney Animation Studios.

TOKYO — Global stocks are set to take another beating on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would slap a 10% tariff on the remaining $300 billion of Chinese imports from next month.
U.S. stock futures lost 0.25% in early Asian trade after the S&P 500 lost 0.90% to hit one-month lows.
Pan-European Euro Stoxx 50 futures fell 0.87% while Japan's Nikkei is on course to fall 2.2% based on futures traded in Chicago.
Trump's move breaks a truce in the trade war struck in June and could further disrupt global supply chains.
"After U.S.-China summit meeting, people had expected there would be a lull for quite some time," said Masahiro Ichikawa, senior strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management.
"And the market was also relieved by signs of recovery in the semi-conductor sector. But now investors and companies will have to revise their such scenarios."
China's state media quickly denounced the move, with the editor in chief of the Global Times saying on Friday that a trade deal between the United States and China was now "further away."
The proposed levies triggered a stampede for safe-haven assets, such as U.S. bonds, the yen and the gold while the yuan and the Australian dollar hit multi-month lows.
Gold held firm at $1,442.9 per ounce, having risen 2.4% on Thursday and near a six-year high of $1,453 touched two weeks ago.
The yen traded at 107.42 to the dollar after rising 1.3% overnight, its biggest daily gain in more than two years.
The euro also recovered to $1.1082, from a two-year low of $1.1027 hit in U.S. trade.
The risk sensitive Australian dollar dropped to a seven-month low of $0.67965 while the offshore yuan hit a nine-month low of 6.9673 to the dollar.
The 10-year U.S. bond yield fell almost 12 basis points on Thursday to 1.902 percent, hitting the lowest level since Nov. 8, 2016, when Trump won a surprise victory in the presidential election.
Trump's decision has thrown the Federal Reserve another curve ball that may force the central bank to again cut interest rates to protect the U.S. economy from trade-policy risks.
The October Fed funds rate futures have jumped to now fully price in a rate cut in September, compared with only around 60% before the tariff announcement. Another 25 basis point move is priced in by December.
The new tariffs would hit a wide swathe of consumer goods from cell phones and laptop computers to toys and footwear, at a time when the manufacturing sector is already reeling from the accumulative impact of the trade war.
The U.S. Institute for Supply Management said on Thursday its index of national factory activity fell to 51.2 last month, the lowest reading since August 2016.
Brent crude LCOc1 7.0% to settle at $60.50 a barrel on Thursday, its biggest daily percentage drop since February 2016.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude shed 7.9% to $53.95 a barrel on Thursday and last stood at $54.4, up 0.8% from late U.S. levels. (Editing by Sam Holmes)

Named GP - All Patients, including children have been allocated a named, accountable GP. This may be different from the GP you normally see but overall responsibility for patient care has not changed. This is largely a role of oversight, with the requirements being introduced to reassure patients that they have one GP within the practice who is responsible for ensuring that this work is carried out on their behalf.
Booking Appointments on line.....Please only book routine appointments on line. If you need a specialist clinic appointment, such as a coil or implant fitting/removal please telephone the surgery to book as they are carried out by specific doctors and command a longer appointment time. If you are unsure please telephone the surgery and speak to a receptionist who can advise you accordingly and signpost you to the correct clinician and appointment time. We thank you for your co-operation.
It is possible to book appointments up to four weeks in advance by ringing Reception, preferably after 10.00am when the phones are less busy. You can also call into surgery or book your appointment on line (via our website) or by downloading the NHS APP to your smart phone or tablet, if booking appointments on line you must only book for the person who is seeing the clinician, not other family members (children). If you have more than one problem to discuss with a GP please ask Reception to book you a double appointment.
Telephone Calls
Some problems can be dealt with over the telephone. These are appropriate, for instance, if you need to discuss a problem with a Doctor but not necessarily face to face. To book, simply ask the Receptionist.
Urgent Assessment Clinics
Held from 8.30am - 9.30am each morning Monday at Oulton Surgery and Marsh Street Surgery. Tuesday and Thursday at Oulton Surgery and Wednesday and Friday at Marsh Street Surgery. These appointments are for patients (registered at Oulton Surgery, Marsh Street or Swillington Surgery) needing immediate medical attention only on the day. Please report to reception on arrival.
Family Planning / Sexual Health Clinic
We offer a walk in family planning / sexual health clinic with either a Nurse Practitioner or Practice Nurse at Oulton Medical Centre every Monday (except bank holidays) 4pm-5.30pm.
GP appointment? Don't need it? Cancel it!
We know people forget things, cancelling GP appointments being one of them. Please remember to cancel your appointment if you don't need it.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the surgery is contacted if you cannot attend a booked appointment, as soon as is reasonable, to allow this to be used by another patient. If you arrive late for a booked appointment – it will be at the doctors discretion as to whether you can be seen. If you repeatedly fail to cancel appointments you cannot attend, you may be removed from our Practice List.

Gang member kills 4 in random Southern California stabbings, police say
GARDEN GROVE, Orange County — The man who killed four people and wounded two others in random stabbings across two Southern California cities is a gang member with a violent criminal record who had served time in prison, authorities said Thursday.
Zachary Castaneda "could have injured or killed many other people" had he not been arrested Wednesday while carrying out attacks and robberies during the two-hour wave of violence that began in Garden Grove, the city's Police Chief Tom DaRe said.
It wasn't immediately known if Castaneda, 33, had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf. He was scheduled to be arraigned Friday.
Castaneda was taken into custody when he walked out of a convenience store in the neighboring city of Santa Ana, dropping a knife and a gun he had taken from a security guard he had just killed, police said. The suspect was covered in blood, DaRe said.
Castaneda was kept in restraints as detectives tried to interview him, the chief said at a press conference.
"He remained violent with us through the night," DaRe said. "He never told us why he did this."
Castaneda has a conviction for possession of meth for sale while armed with an assault rifle, DaRe said. Investigators were still putting together his entire criminal history, he said. Officials didn't specify what crimes sent Castaneda to prison or when he was released.
The violence appeared to be random and the only known motive seem to be "robbery, hate, homicide," Garden Grove police Lt. Carl Whitney told reporters.
Whitney said police had previously gone to Castaneda's Garden Grove apartment to deal with a child custody issue. The suspect's mother had been living with him and had once asked police how she could evict her son, he said.
The attacker and four of the victims were described as Hispanic, while two victims were described as white, police said in a statement. Initially, all had been described as Hispanic. There was no indication this was a hate crime, DaRe said.
The two people who were wounded were expected to survive.
Police said surveillance cameras caught some of the carnage.
"We have video showing him attacking these people and conducting these murders," Whitney said.
The brutal and puzzling attack came just days after mass shootings in Gilroy, Texas and Ohio left 34 people dead and stunned the nation.
