Bond isn't a daredevil. But over the years, he has developed a pretty accurate gauge of what he can get away with and what he can't, and he seeks out challenges pitched to the upper boundaries of his abilities.
That's the same approach that he takes to guiding the Living Classrooms Foundation. The nonprofit organization with a $15 million budget has become a nationwide model for using hands-on education and job training to help at-risk kids and young adults in Baltimore and Washington. The kids also are taught to protect the creatures that swim in Maryland's waterways and fly through its skies.
Perhaps because Bond is loath to acknowledge limits, since 1985, he and his team have achieved impressive results that have been recognized by a string of grants, honors and prizes. The most recent accolade came this summer, when Bond received Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The group will hold its major annual fundraiser, Maritime Magic, on Friday.
During a recent interview at the Waterfront Kitchen, one staff member recently offered a spontaneous tribute to Living Classrooms and to his boss.
"I'm a graduate of his programs, and without them I don't know what I would do," said Keith Turlington, who works as a waiter at the restaurant. "I never returned back to the streets. I can call him any time for a favor or talk to him if I'm having a problem with my girlfriend. It's just like a family."
Sure, Bond has made his share of mistakes. There are forces in the world that even he can't control, despite his most determined efforts to the contrary. But, he won't admit defeat until he's thrown everything he's got into the fray.
"We don't focus a lot on that stuff," the lanky 54-year-old says, smiling from behind his fisherman's beard. "But, if you're not learning from your failures, you're not going to improve as a person."
Your pedigree is about as Old Baltimore as it gets. You come from the same family for whom Bond Street is named, and the same Piper family that gave its name to a law firm and real estate company. You could have chosen pretty much any career path you desired. Why did you get involved with Living Classrooms?
I grew up in Baltimore. I have deep roots here. I went to [The University of North Carolina at] Chapel Hill to college and then I spent four years going around the world. My parents weren't crazy about that plan at that time, so I had to do it on my own.
I bought a motorcycle and traveled through Europe and Africa. I worked on a ski patrol in Switzerland, taught diving in Corsica and went across Asia with a backpack, living on five bucks a day. I was the head lacrosse coach at Adelaide University in Australia. Then, I sailed across the South Pacific with four other people on a 40-foot ketch and worked for a time in Hawaii.
I'd travel for a while and then have to stop somewhere. I'd make some money and become part of the community. It taught me to be resourceful, and I saw a lot of poverty.
That was back before the Internet, so you'd call home once every three or four months and hope everybody was still alive. Eventually, I came back to Baltimore to see my family. My plan was to go back overseas and get back into the import-export business.
But I met these guys, these two teachers who were building this boat, the Lady Maryland. I started to volunteer and was hired to be the first education director. One thing led to another. I could just see the potential of this idea. We were working with inner-city kids from Day One, and there's nothing more gratifying.
Living Classrooms has evolved into a good-sized business. Do you have an MBA?
No. As you know, our motto is that we learn by doing. I went for one semester to an executive MBA program. Then, in 1996 my parents died in a car accident. I was the executor for the estate. I had to deal with all that, and I just didn't go back.
But I have great board members who give me their counsel. Freeman Hrabowski [the president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County] has been one of my mentors.
And, it isn't about me. We have a whole team in place, including an amazing group of vice presidents. I'm just a conduit, a facilitator. If I got hit by a truck tomorrow, we'd be fine, though I'm not going anywhere any time soon.
Your foundation has won tons of awards and experienced a lot of success. It also has survived a major tragedy, after a water taxi capsized during a freak storm in 2004 and five passengers drowned. Was the accident your low point? [The Foundation, which no longer is in the water taxi business, later settled with survivors and victims' families for an undisclosed sum.]
That was an extremely challenging time. Our hearts still go out to the families and those involved. We had been trying to stay true to our core mission to help people, and I think the families understood that.
It was an act of nature. Sometimes, you just do the best you can.
Getting people to work toward the same goal takes real skill. How do you persuade a kid with an attitude problem to start showing up for work on time?
We very much go with the coaching model. We come at management much the way a coach would come at it, whether it's turning around a school, building a ship or operating an environmental center.
There's two simple things that we always come back to at Living Classrooms: You have to be able to work cohesively as a team and produce quality results. You can produce the most awesome results, but if you can't get along with your team, it's not going to work.
Or you could be the coolest person on earth and the greatest team member and everybody loves you, but if you can't get your job done, it ain't going to work either.
So, we boil it down to those two things in every aspect of what we do.
Tell us about something you tried that didn't work out and what you learned from it.
Back in the early '90s we had an after-school program. We were working with hundreds of kids and it was very successful. But, we only had one major funder and they decided to go in a different direction. We had to tell the children and the staff that we weren't going to be able to continue.
It was heart-breaking. But at the same time, that was the fiscally responsible thing to do. A couple of years later is when we got a grant to start our Baltimore Urban Gardening program, so we were able to begin another after-school effort that had a little different twist.
We have a saying around here, "No margin, no mission." You can have the greatest ideas and the greatest programs in the world, but if you can't fund them you're not going to go very far.
This is a business. We're here to help people in the inner city. But, if we aren't being prudent and responsible, in the long run we're not doing the kids any good.
If you go
Living Classrooms will present its major fundraiser, Maritime Magic, at 7 p.m. Friday at Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park, 1417 Thames St. The event will feature entertainment by the MarchFourth Marching Band and the All Mighty Senators, plus food from more than 70 area restaurants. Tickets cost $110 in advance or $120 at the door. Call 410-685-0295 or go to livingclassrooms.org

Title spotlight - "The Edinburgh Dead" by Brian Ruckley
4 comments:
- redhead said...
and it's got some sweet cover art as well!
So for us Brian Ruckley virgins, do you recommend we read the entire Godless WOrld series first, or could just jump in with Edinburgh Dead?

- Volataire said...
I am absolutely in love with this book, as well as its author. Not only is it well written, but its multidimensinal scenery and characters makes me think that they actually exist!
I agree with redhead. The cover designs are fabulous. I'd hire that artist to make my covers any day. :D

The Edinburgh Dead is on my list for 2011.
I hope it will be as good or even better than Brian Ruckley's Godless World books.

Redhead, you can read "The Edinburgh Dead" first without a problem. "Godless World" series and the novel are not related. So, no problem at all :)
Volataire, the artist is Larry Rostant, who made many wonderful covers :)
Michael, I absolutely love "Godless World" and I am looking forward to "The Edinburgh Dead" :)

A link to an overview of the history of manzai.
A link to an overview of the history of manzai.
I found this part by the author the most cool to read as it notes some of the things that Downtown is known to have pioneered in Japanese comedy (a slower-paced, relaxed style of manzai and the coupling of comedians and other entertainers, like singers, on the same show):This excerpt comes from the duo's style of "free talk," which makes up the majority of this weekly show. It is used to discuss an array of mainly personal topics and observations in a manner similar to, but looser than, their old manzai routines. Thus the rigid exchange of blows between the two characters is relaxed to a friendlier style. Following the "free talk," they read postcards that contain comments and questions from fans. On Hey! Hey! Hey!, a music show they host, Matsumoto takes every irreverent opportunity to dig into the band members or the music idols who appear, acting up to the audience's expectations. Hamada pounces verbally on the show's guests, who inevitably come across as (often innocent) boke fools. If the pop music idols who appear as guests try to answer back and redress the situation, Matsumoto will step in with his polished boke act to confound them even further. On many Japanese television shows with manzai performers acting as hosts or guests, the television personalities (タレント tarento) and, especially, media idols (アイドル aidoru) who appear with them are fated to become the satisfying targets of manzai-style boke and tsukkomi humor in this way.

"Gossip Girl" actress turned rocker chick, Taylor Momsen, was not flattered by recent comparisons to pop star, Miley Cyrus.
"I'm not looking to be Miley f*&!ing Cyrus," she sneered in an interview with FHM UK, reported the Huffington Post. "I don't care about the fame. I do it because I love music. I like making records and if people like them, then we'll go along for the ride."
Momsen is the lead singer of the band, "The Pretty Reckless," which she claims is more edgy and rock compared to the pop and country sounds of Cyrus.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"I do think the Disney bubblegum s*%t that the world is living right now is pathetic," said Momsen. " I get that there is this blond thing from Gossip Girl and they're expecting pop s*%t, but it's a rock band and its heavy," added Momsen about her new record.
Cyrus has been made well aware of her "Disney bubblegum" image. "The Hannah Montana Show" starlet has been recently criticized for trying to ditch the "good-girl" image, with risque outfits in her "Can't Be Tamed" video.
Momsen, 16, said she doesn't know Miley, 17, but Us Magazine reports that the Gossip Girl star also auditioned for the role of "Hannah."

And credulous newspapers are helping that quack. The latest case is a little girl in Ireland with a disfiguring and deadly rhabdomyosarcoma who is trying to raise money to get the useless and totally fraudulent Burzynski antineoplaston treatment … and this article makes the good point that newspapers are helping to defraud sick people. Both the Irish Times and the Irish Independent reported on the poor girl's struggle, and they called the fake treatment "pioneering" or "advanced".
Each uncritical article published about clinics like the Burzynski clinic amounts to free advertising for a treatment which is at best, as yet unproven, and at worst, much more damaging than it is claimed. Though articles about individual patients and families must tread a careful line between criticism of the clinic and the feelings of those involved, the current standard of reporting on these clinics ultimately helps no one. It's time to stop hiding the controversy, and sweeping it under the carpet. Patients deserve information, not infomercials.
It's a shame. If you google Burzynski, the first page is full of bullshit promoting the fake treatment — one thing his clinic is good at is SEO — but still, there's quackwatch and Orac and Larry Moran buried in the muddle, pointing out that this is flaming quackery. You'd think a reasonably intelligent journalist would notice that there's some controversy here. And even better, you'd expect a reasonably intelligent journalist to pick up a phone, call an oncologist, and ask what they thought of antineoplaston therapy.
But they don't.
And Burzynski gets free advertising for his $200,000 urine treatments.


text: Fixed the very same bug in two OpenPGP implementations: SKS and pgpdump. Both didn't handle some subpacket types correctly. This field gives the type of a subpacket, for instance 2 is signature creation time, 3 is signature expiration time, etc. The issue was that bit 7 has a special meaning. It's not part of the number but it's a flat, saying that an implementation should be able to handle this subpacket or treat the entire signature invalid. Patched both and submitted them upstream. Now sks finally shows signature expiration times in its vindex.

Apple's iBeacon gets fun
- 07 June, 2014 21:06
Apple's iBeacon system has been widely ignored and is poorly understood. Yet it's one of the most transformative mobile technologies to come along in the last 10 years.
The public's ambivalent or hostile relationship with iBeacon exists because iBeacon is invisible to users. And, in any event, iBeacon is presented as either a boring or creepy way for retail stores to track customers.
All that is changing. I'm going to tell you how iBeacon is being deployed in increasingly fun places. But first, let me dispel some misconceptions about iBeacon.
4 myths about iBeacon
1. iBeacon is an "indoor location" technology.Apple's iBeacon is beacon technology. Beacons are usually described as "indoor location" technology, but that's misleading. They work outside just as well as they work inside. Other location technologies, such as cell tower triangulation and Wi-Fi-based location tools, also work both indoors and out. The key attribute of beacons is not that they're for use inside buildings, but that they enable very precise location calculations -- to within a few inches.
Beacons are inexpensive transmitters (costing as little as $5 each) that broadcast low-power Bluetooth signals, which specially built phone apps can receive.
2. iBeacon is for Apple products only. Any smartphone running an app designed to be compatible with iBeacon can be used with an iBeacon setup. That includes phones running Android and other mobile operating systems.
However, Apple's iBeacon technology is interesting in that any Apple device running the current operating system can itself act as a beacon in addition to accepting signals from beacons.
So it's not true that iBeacon is for Apple products only -- any phone can detect and use iBeacons. But it is true that, at present, only Apple products running iOS can act as beacons in an iBeacon setting.
3. iBeacons track you and harvest personal information when you walk nearby. Let's be very clear about this one: Beacons cannot receive data.
However, they can tell an app on your phone that your phone is very close to the beacon. But it's your phone that's sending that information -- the beacon can give your phone only its unique identifiers. It requires an app and a service to turn that identifier into something meaningful. If you don't download an iBeacon app, keep your Bluetooth on and give explicit permission to the app, iBeacon cannot be used to track you.
4. iBeacon allows the NSA to track your location. The iBeacon system is a horrible surveillance tool. For starters, as mentioned above, it only works if the user downloads an app and the user has to grant the app permission. Also: Your phone (and therefore your carrier) already knows you're at the mall, and it can probably tell you're in the Apple store. What iBeacon technology determines is that you're near the iPad section of the store -- and that information is of little use to the NSA.
Also: There's no evidence that the NSA has ever used iBeacon to track anyone.
Where iBeacon is popping up
Apple's iBeacon has from the beginning been associated with boring retail implementations, and those are totally unseen because shoppers aren't in the habit of running an app while shopping in brick-and-mortar stores. But now iBeacon systems are showing up in more fun and interesting places.
One of those places is Starbucks. During the keynote of its Worldwide Developers Conference this week, Apple promoted a new iBeacon feature in iOS 8 that allows the Starbucks app to reveal itself on the lock screen when your phone detects an iBeacon installed at a participating Starbucks. If you have the app, swiping it up launches it. If you don't have the app, the swipe gesture takes you to the app store to download it. Apple is also using the feature for its Apple retail store app.
Pebble just added iBeacon support in its Pebble smartwatch. (Current users can download the new firmware, Version 2.2.) The watch uses iBeacon to detect how close a Pebble is to an iPhone. So you can use your Pebble smartwatch to find your phone.
A dating app called Mingleton enables people in a bar to strike up chat conversations without knowing who they're chatting with. If they decide to meet, the app uses iBeacon to home in on the other interested party, like radar.
Home automation systems are also using iBeacon technology. An app called Launch Here lets you place beacons around your house. When you approach a beacon, the app launches other apps on your phone. For example, when you plunk down on the couch in front of the TV, a TV remote app can launch. A beacon on the fridge can trigger a shopping list app when you approach it.
A new app called BeHere enables classroom attendance to be taken automatically. The app also lets students press a button on their phones instead of raising their hands to request help from the teacher.
Virgin Atlantic installed iBeacons in the "Upper Class" section of its terminal at London's Heathrow Airport. The beacon triggers the Virgin app to automatically display a boarding pass as passengers approach the gate.
Finally, you can download and install free iOS and Android apps that enable you to interact with iBeacons. Both apps are from a company called Radius Networks.
An app called Locate for iBeacon is an iOS app that tells your iPhone or iPad to transmit as an iBeacon. You can configure the identifiers. The app also lets you find iBeacons and get real-time distance estimates, plus it shows you the iBeacons' identifiers. It's a great way to learn about iBeacon.
An Android app called iBeacon Locate also identifies any iBeacon within range and tells you how far away it is and what its identifiers are. You can even tell the app to sound an alert when you come within range of an iBeacon.
Both of those apps let you play with iBeacons if you like them, and they can warn you about iBeacons if you don't. Either way, you're using iBeacons, aren't you!
Apple's iBeacon technology used to be boring. But it's finally getting interesting.

Mental status testing is done to check your thinking ability, and to determine if any problems are getting better or worse. It is also called neurocognitive testing.
Mental status exam; Neurocognitive testing
A nurse, physician, physician assistant, or mental health worker will ask a number of questions. The test can be done in the home, in an office, nursing home, or hospital. Sometimes, a psychologist with special training will do more extensive tests.
The most common test used is called the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) or Folstein test.
The following may be tested:
The health care provider will check your physical appearance, including:
The health care provider will ask questions such as:
Attention span may be tested earlier, because this fundamental skill can influence the rest of the tests.
The provider will want to test:
You may be asked to do the following:
The provider will ask questions related to recent people, places, and events in your life or in the world.
Three items may be presented, and the person may then be asked to repeat them, and then recall them after 5 minutes.
The provider will ask about your childhood, school, or events that occurred earlier in life.
The provider will point to everyday items in the room and ask you to name them, and possibly to name less common items.
You may be asked to say as many words as possible that start with a certain letter, or that are part of a certain category, in 1 minute.
You may be asked to read or write a sentence.
This part of the test looks at your ability to solve a problem or situation. You may be asked:
The most commonly used test, the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) or Folstein test, is scored from 0 to 30. The test is also divided up into sections, each one with its own smaller score. These results may help show which part of someone's thinking and memory may be affected.
A number of health conditions can affect your mental status.
Some tests that screen for language problems using reading or writing do not account for people who may never have been able to read or write. If you know that the person being tested has never been able to read or write, tell the health care provider in advance.
If your child is having any of these tests performed, it is important to help him or her understand the reasons for the tests.

Maple Collection
The Arnold Arboretum has an extensive collection of maples (Acer spp.), containing 141 of the approximately 230 botanical taxa from around the world. Because of its diverse and numerous holdings of wild-collected maples, the Arnold Arboretum is designated as one of the Plant Collection Network's maple collection sites. Our collection is especially rich in rare and unusual Asian maples, including a number of endangered species. Because of these valuable accessions, the Arboretum's maple collection was ranked as the most significant in the world for conservation purposes in a report by Botanic Gardens Conservation International. This organization, which promotes plant conservation efforts at botanic gardens and similar institutions, analyzed the maple collections of 228 institutions in 37 countries and found that the Arboretum holds the greatest number of Acer species listed as endangered or critically endangered in the wild. Maples are valued as garden ornamentals, shade trees, and timber, and of course there's also maple syrup, the tasty result of collecting and reducing the sap of sugar maple (Acer saccharum). Many maples are noted for their outstanding displays of autumn foliage in shades of yellow, orange, and red. While less showy than the fall color, maple flowers are also quite beautiful upon close inspection when they bloom in spring.
- Several beautiful specimens of three-flowered maple (Acer triflorum) grow in front of the Hunnewell Building. While many maples have simple leaves (think sugar maple or red maple), A. triflorum has compound leaves composed of three leaflets. This maple develops excellent orange to red fall color and has attractive amber bark that exfoliates in narrow curls.
- Just across the road from the Hunnewell Building is the original specimen of Acer rubrum 'Schlesingeri' [pdf], a red maple cultivar introduced by the Arnold Arboretum. It is one of the earliest red maple cultivars to show fall color, often as early as mid to late August.
- Over 100 feet tall and over 100 years old, the large silver maple (Acer saccharinum, accession 12560-C) [pdf]along Meadow Road is a favorite with visitors and is thought to be the tallest tree at the Arboretum. This tree survived the big hurricane of 1938 but did sustain some damage from Hurricane Irene in 2011.
- The genus Acer holds a number of interesting examples of North American–Asian disjunct flora (closely related, similar-looking species that grow on separate continents). Among the Arboretum's maples, note the similarities between the striking stripe-barked (or snake-bark) maples from Asia (including A. tegmentosum, A. davidii, and A. capillipes) and A. pensylvanicum(commonly known as striped maple or moosewood) from eastern North America.
- The maple collection holds accessions of Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) and its cultivars, which are popular small ornamental trees. Similarly handsome species in the collection include A. pseudosieboldianum, A. japonicum, A. mono, and A. pubipalmatum.
- Paperbark maple (Acer griseum) has long been favored by plant connoisseurs for its lovely exfoliating, cinnamon-colored bark and bright red-orange fall color. The Arboretum holds two of the first paperbark maples in the United States, grown from seed wild-collected in China by E. H. Wilson in 1907; look for one venerable specimen in the heart of the maple collection, and a unique, wide-spreading specimen in the Explorers Garden on Bussey Hill.
Search our inventory for additional accessions information or access our collections using your mobile device via Arboretum Explorer!
The maple collection is bounded on the east by Willow Path and on the west by Meadow Road. It is south of the Meadow and north of the Bradley Rosaceous Collection. The collection is about a five minute walk from the Forest Hills Gate, and a twelve minute walk from either the Arborway Gate or the Centre Street Gate. If driving, park along the Arborway.
The maples are growing in a flat grassy area. The area, as well as Willow Path, is not wheelchair accessible. There are good views into the collection from Meadow Road, which is paved and fully accessible.
A self-guided tour of the maple collection is available online.

How long should I explore?

Danny Boyle is supposedly being courted to direct a new werewolf flick set int LA called "Sharp Teeth". I assume this is because werewolves have teeth that are sharp and they will present them in a menacing fashion in the movie. That's the best I got folks, the Superbowl was last night, it's a slow day.
The producers who brought you "Twilight" have already picked up a new book trilogy called "Legend". The series will follow a young bugger called Day and his happenings as the country's most wanted criminal. It will also be a series of really awful films. Get excited.
All the world is giddy over the trailer for Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams's "Super 8" that showed last night at the Super Bowl despite that fact that I have no idea what the hell is going on in it. I think there might be aliens who hate trains or cameras or I have no freakin clue. I can't wait for this one.
A new poster and synopsis for Paul Schrader's "The Jesuit" is now online and I have to admit I was way more excited about this one when I thought this was made by the guy who leads David Letterman's band. It does however feature Willem Dafoe, Paz Vega, Michelle Rodriguez and child kidnapping. So that's something to get excited about.

What is Telephone translation service?
Telephone translation service is a three party simultaneous phone call between you, a Russian/English translator, and a lady of your choice. You tell us which lady/ladies you wish to contact and the dates and times it is convenient for you. Prior to the booked call, we will contact the lady, and tell her to expect a three party call at your requested time. That way, she is prepared and expecting your phone call. At the arranged time we will call you, and call the lady to connect the phones to have a three party translated conversation.
Why phone the lady when I can simply email her or write a letter?
Contacting a lady by phone makes your contact so much more personal than a letter or email, it is the next best thing to actually meeting her face to face. Phoning the woman shows her you have serious intentions. Besides, within minutes, you will know if some real interest in each other has developed.
Why use telephone translation when I can phone myself?
While most of the women on our web site do have phone numbers, the majority have requested that we give our customers the phone number included with the address they purchased, the remainder (about 10%), have specifically requested us not to give our clients their phone numbers. Each has their own specific reasons for this request.
Women with unlisted phone numbers can still be contacted by phone, but only using this translation service. Of course, during the course of the phone call you can ask her for her phone number, and if the conversation is going well, probably she will give it to you, anyway.
We recommend that if this is your first call to a particular lady you should use the service. Using the service means the lady has first been contacted by us, prior to the three party call, so she is prepared and is expecting your call. This approach is very important, because if you surprise, startle, or phone at an inconvenient time, the results may not be as successful as if she was already expecting your call. Many times even if a girl has a reasonable knowledge of English, her English knowledge may very well be good enough to have a conversation in person, but hardly good enough for a phone call. As a result your well intentioned thoughts could easily be misinterpreted, resulting in a poor first impression. First impressions do count, so its important to make it as good as possible.
Another common problem of phoning by yourself (unless you can speak some Russian and even if the lady is fluent in English), a relative or friend may answer the phone. He or she may have little or no English knowledge, the result being he or she did not understand a word you said and neither did you understand anything they said, the result being the conversation ended before it even started.
Having a translator, is like having an agent that represents you. The translator helps make the conversation go more smoothly. Translators make you look more serious and they make sure your well intentioned thoughts get correctly conveyed to the lady. Think about it, this is an important step in your life, it's the first step that could change your life to happiness forever, so you want to do it right. Would you sell your home by yourself, or would you use an agent? The agent acts as the bridge between buyer and seller, and gives each party the confidence to make the transaction succeed. Finding the right woman is a lot different to selling your house, but some of the fundamental principles are surprisingly similar.
Is information I suppy kept confidential?
Yes, all information you supply online is secure and encrypted and kept confidential. Operators are not permitted to disclose the information discussed during the telephone conversation.
Do I need to first purchase the phone number before I use the service?
No. To use this service you do not need to first purchase the phone number from us.
Can I use the service to phone a lady that is not on your web site?
Yes. On the form where it asks for the lady's reference number just fill in her name and phone number.
What does it cost?
We charge $5.95 per minute. The charge begins once the three party conversation starts. Before the three way conversation we have contacted the lady during a previous call to inform her, this is of no cost to you. You simply pay for the 3 way call only. Before you can a book a call, you will need to open an account, place at least $50 in the account. There is no minimum charge for a call, you only pay for the time you are on the three way call. If the total cost of the call is less than the amount in your account, you can transfer the balance to another call, add to your account for more call time, or request a refund for the balance, at any time.
How do I pay?
We accept all major credit cards, Visa, Mastercard & Discover.

Break-dance Group Inspire Children and Volunteers in Sri Lanka
Break-dance show group ABCrew helped Projects Abroad to hold an 'outreach session with a twist' with the volunteers and children in Sri Lanka. The group from Switzerland taught everyone how to throw some amazing shapes in their usual enthusiastic manner.
Around 70 children from the Wadduwa and Panadura area attended, alongside 50 volunteers and 12 staff members. Elise Beacon, Sri Lanka Assistant Manager, said 'some of the boys could do some really amazing tricks already and were breaking it down with real gusto, doing the worm, holds and spins. Even the reluctant dancers were converted, learning the choreography and laughing at their efforts.'
Our outreach sessions usually focus on an aspect of medical care or educate the children about various medical issues. However, this outreach session was about enjoyment and learning something new.
The outreach session was enjoyed by everyone and Elise said 'I felt really good after the dance class. It was such an incredible day and a huge success.'
An enormous thank you goes out to ABCrew for their generosity, and also to all those who attended.

Water quality monitoring 24/7
Overcoming corrosion and scaling issues while ensuring the integrity of your water steam circuit
Water quality monitoring within power plants maintains operational efficiency and minimizes plant downtime caused by corrosion and leakages. It also allows boiler and turbine supplier warranties to remain applicable. The integrity of components is affected by the constant contact of water and steam with metal surfaces, which creates corrosion and scaling. You need smart instrumentation for quality measurement and analysis, allowing you to prevent such situations and avoid expensive repairs.
SWAS - A standardized solution for sampling and analysis
The modular Steam and Water Analysis System (SWAS) provides all necessary measuring signals for process control. On an analysis rack (wet rack), the samples are first taken from the water steam circuit and conditioned (cooling, pressure reduction). The conditioned sample can be analyzed for various parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, silicate, sodium, total, acid and differential cation conductivity. It is modular, scalable and easy to retrofit which allows you to increase plant efficiency.
Suitable for use with Memosens digital technology for easy calibration, reliable measurement and user-friendly maintenance
One transmitter for all parameters possible with Liquiline multichannel controllers
Integrated logbook for water quality data
Predictive maintenance with remaining cation capacity calculation
pH calculation via differential cation conductivity according VGB standard
Smart analysis solutions to prevent corrosion and scaling
Monitoring pH within the boiler to avoid system corrosion
The pH value varies depending on the location in the water steam circuit. There are two modes for pH conditioning depending on the existing materials in your plant: universal mode and alkaline mode. Nevertheless, it is common practice to keep the pH value of feed-water at slight alkaline levels to prevent corrosion. We support you with a unique pH electrode for ultrapure water and a salt ring for reliable measurement.
Precise monitoring of silica protects the turbine
Silica can deposit on any surface steam touches leading to a solid layer on the turbine blades, causing abrasion and blockages. Removing these silica parts with chemicals or mechanical processes can cost valuable time and resources. Our analyzers offer you continuous monitoring at several points of the water steam cycle (e.g. high pressure and low pressure turbine steam, steam drum, CEP discharge, make-up water, drum water) which avoids costly delays in start-up and manual test sample batches.
Monitoring the dissolved oxygen (DO) to prevent corrosion
Oxygen should only be present in trace quantities (ppb) as it can result in corrosion damage to the components of the steam cycle. To minimize corrosion under alkaline operating conditions, mechanical de-aeration and chemical scavenger additives are used to remove the DO. Our Memosens technology for oxygen sensors combined with our Liquiline transmitter allows for reliable lab calibration, easy maintenance and minimal downtime of the measurement point.
Detect conductivity variations that can create scaling
Conductivity measurement indicates the quantity of dissolved solids that are present and how likely they are to create some scaling. Conductivity of pure water is almost zero and even a small addition of salt can increase corrosion dramatically. The conductivity parameter can be used to detect impurities caused by cooling water and air leakages. We offer a wide range of multi-parameter transmitters to fit to your needs. These transmitters from our Liquiline product line:
Are quick, easy to commission, easily expandable
Are based on Memosens digital sensor technology and have standardized and intuitive operation
Are compact or panel mounted for more simplicity
We believe in smart instrumentation that saves you from expensive repairs and unnecessary downtime. The SWAS panels are designed with best-in-class instrumentation to ensure the integrity of your water steam circuit at all times. All panels are easy to install, to commission, and to operate and can be combined as desired thanks to their modular design.
50 %
increased process uptime thanks to digital Memosens instruments installed on the panels
$ 3,250
additional savings every 26 min in a typical 500MW combined cycle plant using degas conductivity analyzers
time savings when you integrate the SWAS panel into the process control system thanks to Liquiline transmitters

Christopher Jones has posted about an update to the development for PHP 5.3 that makes escaping SQL even easier in scripts - NOWDOCS.
Escaping quotes or other meta characters in SQL can be painful unless you get lucky with your quoting style. [...] Even with PHP's "Heredoc" syntax something will need escaping, but with PHP 5.3's new "Nowdoc" syntax no escaping is needed.
The only difference between HEREDOC and NOWDOC is that the initial keyword (like the first END in this statement: <<<'END' text here END;) that can make worrying about complex quoting rules a thing of the past.

I love everything about my experience with Hormone Logics!
The staff (Especially Joanna) has been so professional, helpful, and
very attentive to my care.
I feel transformed by the entire experience! I feel better than I have in years. Kudos and thank you to everyone at Hormone Logics.
Where do I start! From the first time I stepped into her office last December, Joanna has been simply amazing. She's honest, forthright, understanding, compassionate, patient, genuinely cares for her patients health and well being and you never feel rushed at your appointments. She takes the time to explain everything, presents the best option(s) and her follow up and keeping you on track is incredible.
Thank you Hormone Logics for all your support staff as well.
Everyone has been incredible to deal with. Cheers!
First time exploring an HRT program and am more than pleased with the whole experience. From the very first time I spoke with Joanna, she put me at ease with the process. She was extremely helpful in explaining everything, including the lab test, physical and expectations of the product.
I recommend contacting Hormone Logistics for those looking to feel and look more vibrant and youthful!
Your energy and confidence will sky rocket!
I've been going to see Joanna at Hormone Logics for almost a year & am completely satisfied.
They truly care about you & your wellness.
It's a concierge type service & they will tailor-make a program that works for you.
Joanna knows what she's talking about so you can put your trust in her & Hormone Logics.
Just have to say I feel like I hit the jackpot when I found Hormone Logics!!! They are so caring and knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. Joanne takes as much time as you need her to answer all your questions as well as really listens to my needs and monitors my progress also…. She goes above and beyond my expectations and knows what she's doing. I highly recommend them to anyone. They are a God send…..My quality of life has definitely improved and keeps getting better…They have a customer for life here.
Happy in Nashvillle ??
This place is awesome!!
I am actually feeling better; fewer hot flashes; and so much happier!
Thank you Joanna and your team for giving me back my quality of life!!
I have been a client for six months now and was struggling with extra weight and fatigue. I met Joanna while searching for a new clinic on the Internet. She was very knowledgeable and took her time going over my concerns. Since Joanna suggested this new protocol my weight is now under control and I have more energy then ever before.
Can't recommend Hormone Logics enough! My husband and I worked with Joanna and did a 2 week cleanse and the results are amazing!! Although, we have both lost 20 lbs each, it is the inches we have lost and how we feel that we have noticed the biggest difference. Joanna is very personable, knowledgeable and does a wonderful job explaining the "why's" and how foods or how the "diet" works the way it does. Although, I have to admit this isn't/wasn't just a "diet" for us; what we have learned thru this process is a new way of life!
Absolutely the best HRT clinic I have ever been to.
They do things by the book and their customer service is great.
They are friendly, helpful and accommodating.
I was taken care of and educated on the best methods to improve my overall health.
Thanks guys!
Great staff, very knowledgeable and supportive
I have been on a life style changing program for 4 months and lost 30 pounds,stopped all my prescription drugs, and take Hormone Logics multivitamin. I had a physical last week and my blood work was the best it has been in 20 years due to the life change and the weight loss my Doctor said to keep it up.
This has worked for my boat captain and now it is working for me.
I am 67 and feel great.
Fantastic experience with the entire staff.
JD and crew have been outstanding in patient service.
Absolutely number one anti-aging/hrt network indeed.
Highly recommended
From the initial phone call to my Physicians appointment in Florida, everything has been first rate. I have felt comfortable every step of the way ! I own a Crossfit gym and work in the fitness industry, I had not been performing or living the life that I knew I was capable of and my blood tests confirmed that. I have been on therapy now for 4 weeks and improving every day. Any questions arise and I call my rep. Great thing is, no matter what time I call I hear back with a call or text within 15 minutes. The service has been great. Get your blood work done, call them, and START LIVING THE BEST LIFE POSSIBLE. – William , Gold Medal Fitness LLC.
I've been with Hormone Logics for well over a year now. JD, my patient coordinator is amazing. He's like a book of knowledge with any question I ask him. Whether it's about therapy, hormones, or even my blood work results, he always has the answer. Within a couple of months I was feeling amazing with an incredible increase in strength and energy.
I recently took it one step further and teamed up with Joanna Dara , Fitness / Nutrition Specialist at Hormone Logics. After 6 months of her nutritional plan the increase in my metabolism is incredible. I haven't felt this good in a very long time. I'm very excited over my results and I look forward to working with the team @ Hormone Logics for many years to come.
Just had my first appointment with hormone logics. I have to say I was really impressed. Chris was able to answer all my questions. He was very professional and listened to my needs. I am very excited to be starting this process with hormone logics!
As a foot & ankle physician I treat a lot of patients with painful conditions from being over-weight, having osteoporosis-related injuries, and sports injuries. I'm thankful to be able to refer these patients to Hormone Logics to help them lose weight, supplement their nutrition, and get a consultation for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for other issues they may have that I don't treat myself. I trust this group and all the patient care coordinators at Hormone Logics to give my patients quality care and help them achieve optimal total health, rather than just focusing on one aspect of it.
There's really not enough space to provide the deserved praise and thank yous to Hormone Logics and the staff.
Their experience and care is extraordinary.
Thanks for all your help.
I feel like a new person again.
This a great place to go for HRT, I have been using them for over 7 months, they are caring about my health issues, very consultative , and discreet, My orders are always placed and sent on time.
JD is a good guy, always there if I have any questions and very professional.
I am 54 years old female and was used to the way I was feeling due to perimenopause and it slowly made me feel worse and worse. I didn't realize how long I had not been feeling like I used to when I was in my twenties and thirties until I started Hormone Logics bio-identical hormone therapy in Florida.
I am a new person.

Leisure horses
Due to less energy diets for leisure horses there are risks of mineral and trace element deficiency or imbalance
Sodium should be at free disposal by a non-mineralized salt block
Sport horses
When feeding sport horses the physical load is the matter to be decided.
The partial short-term, but also partly sustained straining of the muscles in horses doing dressage and show jumping means a mix of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and energy should be gained from both (undigested) corn as well as from high-fat components
During long periods of physical load (e.g. distance and eventing), the muscles work in the aerobic zone and can easily become too acidic
A limited supply of carbohydrates, based on easily fermentable fiber and high-fat components as energy suppliers helps prevent muscle acidification
The increased need of minerals, trace elements and active agents of sport horses should be balanced with a tailor-made mineral to meet their minerals needs.

Robert Bailey, executive director of the Arkansas Humanities Council (AHC), is retiring in March after eighteen years on the job. To hear him tell it, though, his absence will be no great loss: It's really the hardworking staff and inventive grantees that make AHC what it is. Although competent management is certainly necessary to secure funding and handle the council's $970,000 budget, AHC's work is less about ladling out cash and more about giving hands-on support to beneficiaries.
"The thing we do that's different than most grant-making organizations is provide training and technical assistance to the local organizations who secure the grants," says Bailey. "We focus more on seeing to it that resources are available to the creative, imaginative folks in the state who are really trying to accomplish things on their own. Our orientation is service. We're not interested in being the moneybags from the big city bringing in manna. "
AHC does not create programs and pitch them around the state. Instead, grantees create proposals that fit their specific needs. Two council staff members spend most of their time in the field, traveling to grant sites and providing advice and support to recipients, many of whom do not have a professional background in the humanities. Although they get help from the council, grantees have almost total control over their projects.
Arkansas is especially ripe for a bottom-up approach to grant-making. Because the state is largely rural and ranks low nationally in many education and poverty categories, the council considers it important to give to those who, because of either lack of means or secluded location, would not otherwise have the opportunity to conduct their projects. For instance, an AHC grant helped a Helena middle school arrange a civil-rights-themed field trip to Nashville, Birmingham, Atlanta, and Montgomery. The grant required the involvement of a humanities scholar, so the middle school's directors enlisted Elizabeth McClain, a Tennessee State history professor, who guided the trip and arranged for students to meet with original members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
After Bailey took the helm in 1989, the council's staff set out to connect with grassroots organizations, many of which shared an interest in local history. "They always thought in terms of things not being the way they should be now, and wanting them to be better, " says Bailey. "There's this root-level instinct that if you can understand how things got to the way they are now, you'd have more control over shaping a better future. "
A centerpiece project is an initiative to restore African-American cemeteries that have fallen into disrepair. Arkansans place great value on both burial and ancestry, so the neglect of graveyards and the loss of relatives' identities is a major concern. Gravesite restoration takes expertise, though. "They had the strong desire to organize, but didn't know how to go about the documentation, didn't know how to go about doing the preservation, " says Bailey of the program's grantees. That's where the council came in. With AHC's assistance, local restoration groups have connected with archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians who help with records searches and cemetery cleanup.
Another AHC initiative funds local historical research by people who may not have formal training in the discipline. Many of these projects focus on the history of African-American schools before integration. "A lot of people know the Rosenwald school stories and all of that, the big money folks who wanted to dwell by folks in the rural South, particularly the disenfranchised," says Bailey. In the early twentieth century, the Jules Rosenwald Fund supported the construction of schools for black students; by 1932, nearly five thousand schools had been built. "But the story that is not as well known is how many of those folks did it by their bootstraps in their local communities," adds Bailey.
The program has had some surprising results. The SouthWest Arkansas Community Development Organization in Magnolia was astonished to find more than thirty little-known Jim Crow-era schools. A different group of retired school administrators produced a book based on their findings. "They just worked year after year after year, all on a volunteer basis, to do this documentation," says Bailey of that project. "They got one of the historians involved very interested in it, and they approached him and said, 'Would you write a book about it?' " The historian, Calvin Smith, agreed. In 2003, the University of Arkansas Press published Educating the Masses: The Unfolding History of Black School Administrators in Arkansas, 1900-2000.
Although the council primarily funds local initiatives, it doesn't neglect larger organizations, For example, the council has been a major supporter of the online Encyclopedia of Arkansas, created by the Central Arkansas Library System.
And where does Bailey fit in to all of this? He's simply content to remain in the background and ensure that everything runs smoothly. In fact, he won't even take credit for AHC's nonconventional approach to grant-making. "The goal had been there, " he recalls of his early days at the council. "What I did was have an opportunity to help put it in place. It's been a lot of fun."

Suspect charged with multiple felonies
Drug and forgery charges led to a bond in excess of $1 million for a Snow Hill man Nov. 1.
Carrying out a warrant from Harnett County, Greene County Sheriff�s Office deputies arrested Lavella Terry Graham, 25, for two felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or forgery, two felony counts of trafficking opium or heroin, one felony count of identity theft and one felony count of uttering a forged instrument.
He was booked into the Greene County Jail at 1:33 p.m. on Nov. 1, receiving a secured bond of $1,025,000. He�s due in Harnett County District Court on Nov. 12.
Though a public records search shows no record of probation or prison time, Graham currently faces a laundry list of charges in different counties.
He�s due in Pitt County Supreme Court on Dec. 4 for a number of suspected crimes and traffic citations.
Those include felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, felony fleeing or eluding arrest, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanor resisting a public officer, misdemeanor open container, driving while impaired, driving while license revoked, driving without two headlamps, failure to yield at a stop sign or light and going 90 mph in a 50-mph zone.
The same day Graham�s wanted in Harnett County, he�s scheduled to appear in Greene County Superior Court for felony out-of-county probation violation.

Chicken Namban from 'Hiroko's American Kitchen'
I'm probably not the only American cook unfamiliar with the Japanese namban technique of cooking. Namban refers to a two-step process in which meat and vegetables are fried in oil and then marinated in vinegar and soy sauce. This style of cooking was introduced to Japan by the Portugese in the mid-16th century and subsequently adapted to suit Japanese-style cuisine.
In the spirit of continuing to adapt traditional Japanese dishes to contemporary American palates, Hiroko Shimbo has herself created a twist on this dish. The chicken namban in her new cookbook, Hiroko's American Kitchen, infuses sweet curry flavor into boneless, skinless chicken thighs that are pan-seared and then baked. Her sauce contains the requisite vinegar, of course, but is amped up with her signature "super sauce." This super sauce is a viscous, concentrated mixture of soy, bonito, and kelp that truly makes the chicken pop.
Why I picked this recipe: I'm a sucker for chicken thighs and thick, vinegary pan sauces.
What worked: The super sauce adds an explosive jolt of umami to an otherwise simple chicken and sweet potato dish.
What didn't: I needed to fry the sweet potatoes in smaller batches, in less oil, in order to fry them safely in my skillet. I also needed to reduce the sauce for a little longer than directed in order to thicken it sufficiently. Use your best judgement as you're finishing the dish, and taste as you go!
Suggested tweaks: Instead of serving the plain sweet potatoes alongside the chicken, consider adding them back in to the skillet once chicken comes out of the oven. This will re-heat the potatoes and coat them in the sauce. You can substitute garnet yams for the Japanese sweet potato if they're easier to find.

- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 40 minutes
- Total time:About 1 hour, plus 4 hours soaking time for the sauce
- Super Sauce
- 1 cup mirin (sweet cooking wine)
- 1 cup shoyu (soy sauce)
- 3 cups tightly packed katsuobushi (skipjack tuna fish flakes)
- 1 ounce kombu (kelp) (about two 4 by 7-inch pieces), cut into 4-inch-long pieces with scissors
- Chicken Namban
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Super Sauce (above)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Japanese curry powder or Madras curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (2 pounds)
- 1 large Japanese sweet potato or other variety (12 ounces)
- Sea salt
- Canola oil or vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion (green part only)
For the Super Sauce: Place the mirin in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Add the soy sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer again. Add and submerge the fish flakes and turn off the heat. Let the sauce sit for 15 minutes.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer, and discard the fish flakes. Transfer the sauce to a clean glass jar and add the kelp. Refrigerate the sauce, covered with plastic wrap, for 4 hours, then remove and discard the kelp. (Extra sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
For the chicken namban: In a bowl, combine the vinegar, Super Sauce, water, and sugar, and set aside. In another bowl, combine the flour, curry powder, and paprika. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and let it stand for 10 minutes.
Cut the sweet potato into 1 by 3-inch matchsticks. Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and air-dry. Transfer the potatoes to a paper towel-lined platter to remove any excess water.
Heat 2 inches of canola oil in a deep ovenproof skillet over medium heat to 350°F. Add the potatoes and cook them for 2 minutes or until golden, stirring from time to time. Transfer the potatoes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain and sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove most of the oil from the skillet, reserving 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat, add the chicken, and cook for 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden. Turn the chicken over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook the chicken for 25 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven and discard the excess oil from the skillet, reserving the chicken in the skillet. Put the skillet back over medium heat on the stovetop and add the vinegar sauce. Cook for 2 minutes. During cooking, baste the chicken in the skillet with the sauce. The sauce should reduce and become thick, coating the chicken with a velvety layer of sauce. Divide the chicken and sweet potatoes among plates. Garnish with the scallions and serve.

Hi, I was thinking of rewiring the house with either CAT 5e or 6 and linking it to a Home Distribution Box in the Garage.. but am not 100% sure of the names of the equipment needed. So could someone please kindly help me whip up an equipment and tools list based on my specs down below? Thanks.
So I have four bedrooms and would like to add two RJ45 outlets (data and phone if possible) and either 1 or two RG6 cables for TV, each room. Then I would like to add maybe four RJ45s and two RG6 outlets in the lounge.
I heard that Amdex isn't quite good? And I would like a decent sized cabinet to house all the panels etc (in the garage..) Which sized cabinet would be good please?
Cheers and Thanks in Advance!

I have a couple of cards to share today. I sneak peeked this card on Saturday...and here it is in full. This is my card for this week's sketch over at the CPS blog. We did a baby theme in honor of one of our CPS gals, Kandis, who just had a little boy! Congrats again Kandis!!
Card supply list: Cardstock (Bazzill), Paper/Ribbon/Diecuts (Crate Paper), Rub-on (American Crafts), Rhinestones (Westrim Crafts), Ink (Colorbox Chalk Ink- Amber Clay) & Corner Rounder (EK Success).
Then I got this quick card done last night before I started working on my Provo Craft assignments. I had this scrap of Urban Lily paper that I have had this idea for forever...just have had other things on my scrappy plate. So I finally got it done last night...and I really love how it turned out.Card Supply List: Cardstock (Bazzill), Paper (Urban Lily), Rub-ons (Urban Lily, Marcella by K., American Crafts), Rhinestones (Westrim Crafts) & Ink (Colorbox Chalk Ink- Sky Blue).
In more personal news, I talked to my little brother last night, and he is doing really well! His pain medication was making him sick, so they prescribed him some nausea medication to take with the pain medication, and according to Casey...he is doing 800 times better now. He said his arm doesn't even hurt, and went to school today. I am so happy for him...I was worried that this would be one of those surgeries that caused a lot of pain. I am so glad I was wrong. His girlfriend is going to see him this weekend (they live in different cities), so that will make him happy, I am sure. It looks like I need to get some pics of those two so I can get a layout done about them...this will be a memory he wants to keep I think!
Have a lovely Thursday,

Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat aren't the first athletes to use a photo to make a statement.
Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat aren't the first athletes to use a photo to make a statement.
Gold medal swimmer Amanda Beard did it to much less fanfare four years ago in Beijing when she unveiled a nude poster of herself in front of an American flag in an anti-fur protest at the Olympics.
The Chinese weren't happy about it, showing up at the hotel and shutting down a press conference before it began. Beard ended up displaying the poster in an impromptu gathering outside the athletes' village, while police and security officials looked on.
Wade and the Heat faced no such problems. LeBron James posted a picture Friday that showed the team wearing hoodies, with each of the players' heads bowed and hands in pockets – putting the image in front of his millions of Twitter followers.
Later that night, the Heat took the court in Detroit with slogans honoring slain teenager Trayvon Martin written on their shoes.
It was simple, yet dramatic. And it accomplished what Wade, James and others wanted – to bring even more attention to a case that has sparked a nationwide outcry.
"You never know, that could be your kid," James said. "As leaders and as role models we're happy we can shed the light on a situation we feel isn't right."
If it seems personal to the Heat, that's because it is. James and Wade are both the fathers of two sons, and they played in the All-Star game on the same night when Martin – a black 17-year-old wearing a hoodie as he walked to a family home after buying some iced tea and candy – was shot to death by a community watch volunteer a few miles from Orlando's Amway Arena.
The more they heard and read about the case, the more outrageous it seemed. The more they thought about it, the more they wanted their voices heard.
Nothing wrong with that, unless the slogans on their shoes draw attention from David Stern's uniform police for violating the NBA's strict guidelines. Even admirable, if you subscribe to the theory that they could be making enemies – or cost themselves shoe sales – by inserting themselves into a controversial case.
If Wade and James were making a statement, though, they made a very careful one. Unlike the NBA players' union, they didn't call for the resignation of the police chief in the Florida community where Martin was shot to death, or demand the immediate arrest of the person who shot him.
Instead, they talked as fathers with sons who ask for hoodies for Christmas. They talked as black men who have every right to wear hoodies.
And they talked about their hope that justice would be done.
They used their platform as NBA superstars to deliver a message from the heart. And they got it right.
They weren't the only ones, of course. People posed Friday in hoodies on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and around the nation. President Barack Obama even weighed in, urging Americans to "do some soul searching" and saying, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
Still, Wade and James could have left it to others to make the case. Their job is to entertain and there are perils associated with taking a stand on anything more controversial than what flavor of Gatorade they prefer.
Others before them had spoken out on the issues of the day, and paid the price.
Muhammad Ali was hated by millions for refusing his draft induction during the Vietnam War and it cost him three years in the prime of his career. Tommie Smith and John Carlos were ostracized for years for giving the black power salute on the medal platform in the 1968 Olympics.
Tiger Woods was so afraid of alienating any of his sponsors or fans that he sidestepped for years any questions about social inequities in golf.
It's easy to play ball and make millions of dollars and leave the real world to others. And that's usually what we want our heroes to do because sports offers an escape, a time to forget about the problems of our time.
This is different in a lot of ways. The fact Wade and James spoke out publicly underscores just how personal the issue is. The fact they did it so well underscores how much thought was behind it.
They're famous, sure. But they're black men with sons first, horrified like so many others that something as innocent as a walk through a neighborhood or a choice of clothing could lead to a death.
"I'm thinking about my son, thinking about how easy something like that could happen," Wade said.
That's the message they wanted to deliver. And that's a message any parent – black or white – can understand.

The teachings of Dzogchen, which directly introduces the practitioner to the Nature of Mind, were first expounded by Garab Dorje in the country of Uddiyana and later went to India and Tibet. The essence of Garab Dorje's message is "The Three Statements that Strike the Essential Points." Patrul Rinpoche wrote a brilliant commentary, together with practices entitled "The Special Teaching of the Wise and Glorious King"—here translated with notes, commentaries, and a glossary of terms.
""In many ways, the best guide to the Dzogchen teachings. Includes explanations of texts that were previously thought too secret to publish."—Tricycle "Contains clear translations and detailed commentaries. Careful study and practice of the knowledge revealed in The Golden Letters is indispensable."—The Mirror "Many of the meditative practices this book introduces are among the most profound ever to appear in published form."—Shambhala Sun"

Scrib wrote:Not to interrupt your squabbling about religion (which I agree that a person doesn't have to believe in something to write about it) I think that Bright Star doesn't have to do with religion. Instead I think Keats is trying to let it through in our minds that repeatedly the Earth goes through it's stages, spring, summer, winter, fall, and even though it's the same stages over and over again, it's still beautiful and it will last much longer than any of us will.

Are you serious so you are telling me JK believes in withces and magic and everything she writes about in Harry Potter. I could write about greek mythology but that doesnt mean i believe in zeus and all the other gods and goddess.
Saturn wrote:Please... enough with trying to make put Keats was religious - its just plain wrong.]
You guys are reading your OWN religious beliefs into Keats' writings.
He I'm sure would be horrified at people tacking religious meanings to his work.
Its as ridiculous as putting Christian meaning into the work of the ancient Pagan authors, and equally erroneous.
Apollonius wrote:Saturn wrote:
I totally agree with you. Keats was contemptuous of religion and had no expectation of eternal life.
"Here lies one whose name was writ in water"
Scrib wrote:is it so wrong to thing he could be worshipping nature?...trying to refrain from the word "religion" but Keats could be considering transcendentalism* a religion...and couldn't it be all three?...immortality for his poetry which often describes nature (also immortal) which Keats worships (religion-immortal)...
Saturn wrote:He wanted immortal FAME for his work.
That's what all writers want, isn't it?
Kaki wrote:Saturn wrote:He wanted immortal FAME for his work.

It's interesting you say that, I would have thought most writers wanted to inspire a thought or emotion, to make a connection with the reader. Fame, that is a rather specific word... I would have thought he just wanted to live on in his work, famous or not. As long as it has been written down it will always have the potential to touch someone even long after the author has "ceased to be".

Grounding techniques can be useful at times of distress to bring yourself out of or prevent the onset of panic attacks, flashbacks and dissociation. It can be good to practice grounding techniques when you are calm so they are in your toolkit ready to go whenever you may next need them.
