(ii) Professor Ng Wun Jern, Professor,
School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, NTU and Former Executive
Director at the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute, NEWRI
2. Mr Tang has, over a 30-year career with Sembcorp, demonstrated
vision and exemplary leadership. He built up Sembcorp's utilities business and
transformed the company into a global player in the energy and water arena. Mr
Tang has also been instrumental in pushing for new technologies, developing
manpower for the local energy sector, and spearheading various successful R&D
and manpower collaborations between Sembcorp and the Energy Market Authority,
including the Sembcorp EMA-Technology Partnership and Sembcorp-EMA Energy
Challenge. The latter incorporates gamification, learning journeys and
exclusive internship opportunities to reach out to youths.
3. On receiving his award, Mr Tang said: "I am very humbled and
honoured to be given this award. I would like to thank the wonderful Sembcorp
family and various industry partners who have strongly supported me over the
years. More than winning this award, I am privileged to have been part of
Singapore's energy story and proud to have contributed to the growth and

technologies will only increase in importance. I am excited by the many
upcoming developments in the sector, and am proud to be playing my part in
moulding Singapore's future energy workforce."
7. EMA Chief Executive Ng Wai Choong said: "Both Mr Tang and
Professor Ng have contributed significantly in making our energy sector more
vibrant and dynamic in their own different ways. They are excellent role models
and an inspiration to many of us in the energy sector. I hope that nominations
for the Singapore Energy Award will continue to grow, as we have seen in this
round, to recognise deserving contributors who have made a difference to the
8. The biennial SEA recognises
outstanding contributions to Singapore's energy sector in the areas of capabilities
development and/or innovation.
The next SEA will be held in 2019. Nomination details will be released in the
second half of 2018.

CHICAGO -- A federal judge has sentenced the former head of Chicago Public Schools to more than four years in prison for steering $23 million in city contracts to education firms in exchange for more than $2 million in bribes and kickbacks.
A tearful Barbara Byrd-Bennett apologized in court before she was sentenced Friday in Chicago. She said she was ashamed and led astray by a sense of entitlement as head of the nation's third-largest school district.
U.S. District Court Judge Edmond Chang told the 68-year-old that the brazenness of bilking a cash-strapped school district suggested she never believed she'd get caught. The federal judge also said he wanted to send a message to other would-be corrupt officials.
Prosecutors asked for a prison term of more than seven years. Chang said he took into account Bennett's good work during her career. He also noted her acts of kindness, including paying for the funerals of some students.
Byrd-Bennett steered $23 million in city contracts to Vranas and another education company executive, Gary Solomon, for kickbacks. Solomon received a seven-year sentence last month.
Byrd-Bennett began her career as a teacher in low-income neighborhoods in New York City.
She's also held top education jobs in Detroit and Cleveland.

Biography.Name: Alana.
AKA: Sweet Dream, 11, the Vitriolic Valkyrie.
Height: 5'8.
Weight (without enhancements): 190 lbs.
Hair: Black.
Eyes: Brown.
Identity: Secret.
Affiliations: The Court, the Cadre.
Profile.Alana, the Eleventh, is a killer.
She was not always this way. She was born into a normal life, for the most part, though she has left any semblance of 'normality' behind long ago. To hear her tell it, she first started to become 'other' when she realize that most people were simple actors, playing a part they thought society expected of them. She decided not to allow this to happen to her- she would be exceptional.
This desire to rise above mundanity led her to the doorstep of the Court. They took her in, and molded her raw talent into a refined weapon. She became the Eleventh, enhancing her body and mind with cybernetics, even as her own mutant abilities began to manifest. She learned under the Court's greatest teachers, becoming the favored pupil of many.
For a time, she remained a loyal agent of the Court, eventually earning a position on their elite Justiciars. There was fulfillment in that, for her, but eventually she felt compelled to seek more. That more came in the form of the Cadre, an exclusive, invitation-only group of outlaws and renegades that only accepts the very best.
Appearance.Alana's most distinguishing feature is the scar on her face, earned in a confrontation with the Court's Twenty-First. Though he left a mark on her, she ultimately prevailed in that fight.
Her hair is kept short, so as not to be a liability in combat. Her clothing generally consists of a light set of body armor, light 'casual' clothing, heavier body armor, a vest, and then a concealing jacket or coat. Her clothing choices are almost purely utilitarian, with the vest and jacket always containing a number of pockets and compartments, which she uses to conceal weapons, equipment, and other supplies.
The Valkyrie uses her mutant ability passively to prevent people from properly remembering her appearance, allowing her to keep a 'secret identity' despite eschewing the mask.
Mutation- Neuromancy.Alana's 'm-gene' mutation is what earned her the moniker of Sweet Dream. She has a form of telepathy, which allows her to influence others' perception of reality. She can skim the surface thoughts of those with unguarded minds, but her true talent is illusions. The images she creates aren't merely images, they stimulate all five senses- in essence, if she created the illusion of a human, someone seeing it would be able to 'touch' it. Not because it was physically there, but because their nerves would be artificially stimulated by Alana's power.
Conversely, Alana can render objects 'invisible,' by making it unobservable to the senses. Though it takes some effort, Alana can create incredibly detailed illusions that turn people against their friends, making them think they're being attacked. Other past uses have been manifesting an illusory wall in front of a driver, causing them to brake hard in the middle of a highway, making an enemy's friend look like herself, causing him to shoot his friend, and creating an illusory bridge across a chasm, leading to three men walking of the edge.
Psychologically, this is an interesting case. Alana always felt she was different- it's what compelled her to joint he Court. But when she traps everyone around her in a hyper-realistic illusion that only she knows is fake, she feels more real that them.
Cybernetics.Though Alana doesn't have any full limb-replacement cybernetics, her body has been augmented past the natural limits of both human and mutant. Her eyes are enhanced with wired-in lenses, which wirelessly connect to her brain implants, allowing her to process visual information hundreds of times faster than normal- giving her inhuman reaction times. Furthermore, the lenses have augmented-reality applications, projecting a HUD ('heads-up display') and GUI ('graphic user interface') screen when necessary.
On a deeper level, Alana's bones are reinforced with a carbon-fiber weave, making them significantly harder to break, and increasing the efficiency of her blows by 30%. The material actually makes her bones lighter, not heavier, by an impressive margin, making the Valkyrie faster in armor than most olympians.
Wired directly into Alana's brain is a complex cybernetic implant that connects to her other implants, and enmeshes with the changes in her brain made by her mutation, allowing the implant to 'interface' with her illusion abilities.
Alana has a number of bio-tech implants in her arms, including a different weapon on each arm. On her left, she has a retractable hand-spur, which is built into a thin metal plate on her arm. It doesn't actually come out of her skin, but appears to, as the metal plate, though attached, is indistinguishable from her actual skin. The blade is long, but only extends a few inches beyond her wrist, meaning it requires very close range to use. On the right arm, Alana has a similar plate, with a monofilament whip that hides in her arm, with a similar metal plate so she doesn't have to rip open her skin every time she wants to use one of these weapons. The whip is incredibly sharp, able to slice through armor, flesh, and bone with equal ease. Both weapons are extended and retracted with a thought, the mechanisms controlled by Alana's cranial implant.

Battery Park
Battery Park, the green space at the lower tip of Manhattan, this residential neighborhood features soaring apartment towers and plenty of recreational space. Though often associated with the Financial District, this unique oasis lies beyond that neighborhood's busy pace and the buzz of the nearby highway. Instead, Battery Park's residents enjoy comfortably-sized apartments housed in buildings that often feature doormen, elevators, outdoor space and parking, among other enticing amenities. You can shop in Brookfield Place, an upscale mall that includes a food court with offerings from some of the City's top chefs, and take in picturesque waterfront views while strolling through Hudson River Park.
Chelsea is Manhattan's art district. You can spend days here wandering galleries that show work from established and emerging artists. The High Line—a park built on an abandoned elevated railroad track—is a work of art in its own right, as are some of the area's fashionable shops. After feasting your eyes, go restaurant hopping, or visit Chelsea Market, which offers excellent eateries. Then head out to the neighborhood's famous nightclubs and buzzing bars or watch future Saturday Night Live stars perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
Home to a dense population of Asian immigrants, Manhattan's Chinatown is one of NYC's most evocative neighborhoods. Walking its busy, narrow streets reveals surprise after surprise: Chatham Square's statue of Lin Zexu, a Qing dynasty official who led the fight against Britain's illegal importation of opium; the odd pagoda-style roof and Buddhist temple; and atmospheric Doyers Street, with its basement bars and a speakeasy among them. Come hungry and work your way through the many dim sum palaces, dumpling dens and inexpensive noodle joints.
East Village
The East Village, birthplace of American punk rock, has changed, but it remains a neighborhood of lovable misfits. Over the years Beat poets, bohemian artists and avant-garde filmmakers have all made their homes here, celebrating the area in stories, on canvas and on screen. You can find an authentic restaurant sitting on every block of the East Village - from Polish diners to Japanese Izakaya, to an entire street of brightly-lit Indian eateries.
Financial District
During the day, the Financial District can be chaotic with an influx of office workers and tourists attracted to the many historical sites, museums and phenomenal views the neighborhood offers. After the workday crowds clear, the neighborhood becomes quiet and calm. Nightlife is confined to a few small areas, as most residents return to their amenity-rich buildings and rooftop patios. Financial District, home to the largest financial institutions in the world and reasonably-priced, full-served high-rise apartments. Walking around today, it's hard to believe this was once the cradle of New York City, but ever so often you'll get a glimpse. As you move towards the "foot" of the island where you can find signs that depict former locations of structures from the early 1600s, or weave between its cozy streets, one can clearly imagine what once was. Much revitalization of former government buildings, financial institutions and older housing constructions is breathing new life into Financial district as the residential population of the area remains on the rise. This is expected to continue with the refurbishment of the highly-utilized subway hub at Fulton Street.
Commonly known as Chelsea's cousin to the East, Flatiron was named for the historic triangle-shaped building that splits Broadway and Fifth Avenue at 23rd Street, and stretches to the south. Flatiron is a historic New York City neighborhood that has seen its fair share of change over the years. In the early 1900s, it was a major commercial and residential center. By the middle of the century, things stagnated as businesses and residents left in search of more space and lower rents. In recent years, businesses, upscale restaurants and new developments moved back in and the neighborhood is seeing a big resurgence.
Soho has some of the best people-watching in Manhattan as it is a mecca for the trendy, sophisticated downtown elite. The north-south running side streets are often sites of fashion shoots as well as home to upscale, European boutiques. The east-west running streets are busier and always clogged with vendors selling everything from iPhone cases to incense. One you hit Broadway, you could be in just about any mall in America with retail chains, tourists, teenagers and disgruntled New Yorkers dominating the avenue. The energy in Soho is fast-paced and all hustle and bustle; it is a quintessentially vibrant New York neighborhood, but certainly not for the faint-of-heart or those looking for some peace and quiet.
Defined largely by its warehouse spaces turned into lofts, and polished high rises with a mix of asphalt and cobblestone streets, TriBeCa is the quiet calm nestled between the bustle of Chinatown and the Financial District. Tribeca is a truly gorgeous neighborhood that mixes glorious old cast-iron loft buildings, wide cobblestone streets and dramatic new construction. Thirty years ago, these lofts housed artists and squatters but in the last fifteen years the bohemians have been slowly priced out and now the neighborhood is one of the most expensive places to live in the city. Despite the changes, Tribeca but maintains the sophisticated and creative vibe it acquired as an artist's mecca in the 1970s. The nightlife in Tribeca is busy but refined, attracting a cosmopolitan crowd who have a well-curated appreciation for the finer things in life.
Gramercy Park
In the early 20th century, Gramercy Park was synonymous with luxury. Some of the most prominent New Yorkers (including the Roosevelts) lived in grand houses along the neighborhood's eponymous park. Today, Gramercy Park is a brief respite from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Manhattan. It still, however, retains an old-world vibe. It's not uncommon to see residents tottering down Irving Place dressed in tweed and loafers. This quiet commercial stretch offers a mix of local shops, corner pubs and classic red sauce joints. As you head further east, the avenues get busier and more generic. Gramercy's side streets are lined with walk-ups and large apartment buildings and are more laid-back than the blocks surrounding the actual park, attracting well-heeled, young professionals looking for a quintessentially nice New York City neighborhood.
Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village perfectly combines a bit of the East Village's glorified grunge with a bit of the West Village's tony charm. The birthplace of the beatnik movement and home to NYU, the neighborhood offers something for all its eclectic residents. You'll find new restaurants, indie movie theaters and comedy clubs around the corner from quiet blocks full of big brownstones and well-kept window boxes. Whether it's a 24-hour falafel joint, a dark downstairs bar, or upscale furniture shops, the neighborhood appeals to anyone who relishes the culture, history and activity of the city.
Lower East Side
The narrow streets of the Lower East Side were once lined with tenement buildings, shirt factories and bialy shops. Although a few vestiges of the neighborhood's immigrant heritage remain, many of the tenement buildings have been updated and now offer relatively affordable rental options to young New Yorkers looking to live right in the thick of Downtown Manhattan. There's no getting around it - the LES is a major nightlife destination. In this part of the city, last call is late and often negotiable -- especially if you're a regular. On weekend nights, the neighborhood is packed as crowds overflow from the local bars and take to the streets in search of a late-night falafel fix before heading onto the next party. During the day, the neighborhood chills out as residents nurse their hangovers or head to work slowly after stopping at one of the area's many trendy juice bars or coffee shops.
Murray Hill
Murray Hill has a lively energy most hours of the day and night. In the morning, the streets are filled with young professionals looking polished in their Brooks Brothers suits as they head to work. Come evening, you'll see the crowds returning home decked out in gym clothes and schlepping bags of take-out dinner and Trader Joe's. It can seem at times like every resident is a recent grad -- especially on 3rd Avenue where there's always a big game airing at one of the many sports bars along the strip. Even so, the neighborhood has a down-to-earth, casual vibe. It's true most of Murray Hill's residents are new-to-the city renters who come and go, but the place eschews intransigence and maintains a familiar, college-town feel.
Upper East Side
The Upper East Side has a reputation as a stuffy, posh neighborhood popular with elderly New Yorkers and there is certainly truth in that statement. Park Avenue to 5th Avenue remains the domain of little old ladies draped in Chanel, uniformed doormen police the sidewalks and there's no nightlife to speak of. Museum Mile is always crawling with tourists and street artists, although thankfully the wide sidewalks and sprawling park do much to alleviate the congestion. Head further east to 2nd Avenue to find sports bars and Irish pubs galore, as well as the beginnings of a trendy renaissance. 86th Street and the Avenues remain major hubs of commercial activity, but side streets in the Upper East Side are generally quiet save for children playing.
Upper West Side
Sandwiched between two beautiful parks, the Upper West Side is one of the greenest spots in Manhattan. For that reason, as well its great elementary schools, safe streets and plethora of playgrounds, it is a favorite with families. The Upper West Side is relaxed, but never dull. There are plenty of low-key bars and restaurants to frequent along Amsterdam Avenue, and Broadway is an always-bustling commercial center. The wide, tree-lined streets of the Upper West Side still boast many mom-and-pop stores and some of the best Jewish delis in the city. Less posh than the Upper East Side, it is more easily accessible by public transportation, and real estate prices are just as, if not more, expensive. The area's architecture is legendary, with storied names like Dakota, Ansonia, Apthorp, Manhasset and Astor Court. A host of early 20th Century behemoths line Riverside Boulevard and Drive, caressing Riverside Park; plus the area's also home to the renowned Museum of Natural History.
West Village
Picture a romantic comedy set in New York City: The heroine invariably will live in a cozy walk-up on a cobblestone street in a neighborhood with cute boutiques and trendy cafes on every corner. This movie is set in the West Village. The West Village is just as picturesque. The neighborhood is tucked between Greenwich Village and the Hudson River and is one of the quietest and most sophisticated pockets of Downtown Manhattan. Primarily residential with a distinct lack of office buildings, the leafy, off-the-grid streets are peaceful during the day, but get livelier at night. That's when well-heeled residents, fashionistas and literati can all be found mingling over oysters at the area's many low-lit cocktail bars.
Midtown East
Midtown East, which spans from 42nd Street north to 59th, and East of Fifth Avenue to the East River, melds vibrant business/commerce with exquisite classic architecture. The area houses some of New York's most iconic landmarks like Grand Central Terminal, one of the largest and most stunning train stations in the world, the United Nations headquarters, and the gorgeous Chrysler Building; plus it's home to renowned department stores including Lord & Taylor, Bergdorf Goodman and the original Saks Fifth Avenue.
Midtown West
When most people think of New York City, they envision the bright lights, tall buildings and bustling crowds of Times Square and the Theater District. Midtown West, which spreads from 30th Street to 59th Street on the west side of Fifth Avenue over to the Hudson River, offers these and many more of Manhattan's most frequented sites, as well as places of business and every kind of enticement from the performing to culinary arts.
Harlem has long been synonymous with black culture. In the early 20th century the neighborhood was the setting for African-American-led movements in music, literature, dance and art—collectively known as the Harlem Renaissance—that featured innovators like Bessie Smith, Langston Hughes and Josephine Baker. That legacy is still evident today, especially along the area's main thoroughfare, 125th Street, which is anchored by the Apollo Theater. Other highlights include art at the Studio Museum in Harlem, and stalwart restaurants like Sylvia's and Amy Ruth's (which serve soul food par excellence), as well as newer entries like Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster.
Washington Heights
Northern Manhattan is the home of one of the City's most fascinating attractions: the Met Cloisters, which houses medieval art. Its tapestries, stained glass and lush gardens make for an experience you won't soon forget. Awe-inspiring Hudson River vistas are an alluring bonus. The neighborhood doesn't hurt for nightlife or dining, either. You'll find a wealth of mom-and-pop operations serving Latin cuisine and drinks—"The Heights" are home to a large, thriving population of immigrants from the Dominican Republic.
DUMBO's name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character—as do cobblestone streets and dramatic architecture left over from its industrial days. Instead of factories, today's DUMBO features art galleries, independent bookshops, boutiques, confectionaries and co-working spaces where startups thrive. Visitors often explore here after a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, settling in for stunning Manhattan views at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Kids will enjoy a ride on the vintage carousel near the water, and adults should catch boundary-pushing theater at St. Ann's Warehouse.
Though it's become more refined in recent years, Williamsburg still has a hipster vibe—as evidenced by indie music performances, gallery shows and shops run by local artisans. Distilleries and wineries show off the neighborhood's flair for locally made spirits, while Smorgasburg packs in creative food vendors along the riverfront on summer Saturdays. Williamsburg is one of the City's most exciting nightlife neighborhoods too, with many of NYC's trendiest restaurants and clubs.
Prospect Heights
Prospect Heights is Brooklyn's answer to Manhattan's Museum Mile—this burgeoning neighborhood boasts the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Gardens, and the enormous central branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. Known as Park Slope's pretension-less neighbor, Prospect Heights casually matches its counterpart when it comes to entertaining. The neighborhood is home to myriad restaurants, bars, cafes, and boutiques that evince a distinctly "come as you are" Brooklyn vibe.
Park Slope
If Williamsburg is the face of the "new" hipster Brooklyn, Park Slope is the leading light of the borough's classic incarnation—the brownstone-filled, tree-lined version. The neighborhood's residents give it a literary, socially conscious, family-friendly feel. Visitors will enjoy its independent book and record stores, coffee shops and thriving restaurant scene. And the proximity to Prospect Park (the leafy attraction at the top of the slope) doesn't hurt either.

Charla and Tyler's Wedding at Moore's Flying M Ranch
If we could write down all of the attributes of a bride we would like to work with, they would include words like "sweet, caring, patient, humble, happy, and thankful." Charla and Tyler's wedding was filled with all of these things. From the moment we met Charla, we knew that she was one of the sweetest people we had ever met. So gentle and calm with her personality, but full of love and happiness, due to the fact that she was head over heels in love with Tyler.
The wedding day was so sweet. Talk about a sweet moment in the first look! Sometimes we do a first look with a couple, and they say hi, and then just move on. But Tyler and Charla really took the time to embrace one another and just soak in the moment. From there we took out the two for some portraits that turned out amazing! The wedding ceremony was set outside, and it was a true Oklahoma wedding. Let's just say the wind was sweeping down the plains! The ceremony was perfect for these two, as they couldn't stop smiling at one another, as they said their I do's. Seriously, Charla couldn't help but smile all day long!
The reception, let's talk about this amazing party! Not only did LionsRoad bring down the house with his amazing tunes, but this wedding party knew how to get down! The reception also included good home cooking, a pie bar (yep you heard us right), and some of the best dancing we have seen in quite some time.
The night ended with a fireworks show and a sparkler exit. You couldn't have scripted a better ending to the perfect day. To Charla and Tyler, thank you so much for trusting us with video and photo of the day. Thank you for being SO EASY to work with. We hope you cherish the video and photos for a lifetime with your family and friends!

CO2-to-fuel scams
Skepticality podcast's Derek Colanduno posted a Facebook link to an Inhabit article featuring another free-energy scheme, this time by a company claiming they can turn CO2 into automobile fuel. This kind of claim shows up from time to time: a company pops up with an incredible new announcement about a revolutionary new technology that can turn something cheap and plentiful into limitless energy. The classic ur-example is an automobile engine that can burn water. This particular company's claim (I'm not going to mention the company's name or link to them directly, thus cheating them of a frivolous SLAPP suit) is that it can cheaply convert carbon dioxide into fuel, using a proprietary "bio-catalytic process".
The problem with all such claims is that they are impossible. Not simply difficult, or requiring of clever innovations to beat, but literally impossible.
A catalyst cannot make a chemical reaction go, no matter how awfully strongly you wish it to happen. The only thing a catalyst does it speed up a slow chemical reaction, but the reaction still has to have some kind of thermodynamic driving force before it will proceed at all. In this case the claim is about a secretive – of course they're always secretive – "bio-catalytic process" that can cheaply convert CO2 into fuel, resulting in free money and the whole wide world saved. The problem is that no catalyst in the universe can make CO2 turn into hydrocarbons, all by itself. To do that you have to either find a place or make a machine in which CO2 is unstable and will quickly react with water to form hydrocarbons, such as methane, ethane, octane, etc., or you have to pump energy into CO2 to break it apart and recombine it with a supply of hydrogen.
There is a natural method of turning CO2 into fuel: it's called photosynthesis, followed by the burial of dead plant or microbial remains where oxygen can't get to them, followed by cooking those remains in an oxygen-free place – like deep in the Earth's crust, in rocks – for hundreds of millennia. It's also possible to harvest lots of plant remains from farms, build giant composters where you can dump the harvest, let the stinking mush ferment, siphon off the bubbling methane, then use a chemical refinery (perhaps running on natural gas) to turn the methane into more complex hydrocarbons. Sure, it can be done, but it's not free, the "bio-catalysts" are plants or algae, and energy from sunlight is consumed to grow the plants.
There is no possible way to convert CO2 into fuel without pumping at least as much energy into the CO2 as you get out of the fuel produced, and thanks to the Second Law of Thermodynamics you can't even get that much. Any claim about a mystery "bio-catalyst" turning CO2 into fuel has to be a scam, or an honest claim from some really stupid engineers. There is no free lunch, with energy or anything else.
Run, don't walk, from this or any other similar bunko.

Some tips on helping to keep Jesus the focus of our worship...
Never attempt to any praise or worship dance without
first seeking the Lord in prayer. Before you hit the dance floor, hit the prayer closet! We need to spent our
'quality' time with Him so that He could accomplish His plan through our ministry. The message expressed in the music
should be of great importance when choosing a selection to dance to in a public setting. We are called to praise
and worship with our whole hearts, and we should prayerfully choose a song that we are able to worship with our minds,
spirits, and bodies. Below are just a few of my own suggestions to help you focus on Jesus when lifting up
His name in the dance:
1. Spend time in prayer first. Seek His face and spend time in His
presence. Look to Him to show you if there is anything offensive in His sight, then ask for His mercy and forgiveness
and to cleanse you of your sin. He is faithful and longs to bless us when we seek His face.
2. Learn the words to the song and sing them
while you are dancing. You may even ask the congregation to join you in singing if it's a song that is familar to them so
you would be able to worship as one body of Christ.
3. Spend time doing bible study on the 'idea' expressed in the song (i.e.:
if you pick a song that speaks about God's mercy, sit down with a concordance and soak in exactly how merciful God has been
throughtout the bible. Then meditate on how merciful God has been in your own life).
4. Use colors symbolic of the idea of the song. For instance, if your
song includes words about the blood of Jesus, use the color red to symbolize His blood, or if it speaks about God's redeeming
love, you may wish to choose silver symbolizing redemption.
Color combinations may also express meanings, such as "His Majesty" can be expressed
with red (blood), purple (royalty), and gold (God's glory), or ""His Bride" can be white (purity), silver (redemption), and
pink (right relationships). Mix different color streamers - use two on one wand, or use one streamer in each hand.
Two different color flags may also be used.
Whenever we do anything in the Lord's name, be sure that He is our main focus
and He will always bless us by manifesting His presence and awesome power. He has come to set the captives free!

Service Strategy introduces an interesting pair of complementar concepts: Resources and Capabilities.
Straight from the book we have:
Resource: A generic term that includes IT Infrastructure, people, money or anything else that might help to deliver an IT Service. Resources are considered to be Assets of an Organization.
Capability: The ability of an organization, person, Process, Application, Configuration Item or IT Service to carry out an Activity. Capabilities are intangible Assets of an Organization.
People are at the same time a Resource (in the sense that people are frequently instrumental in delivering an IT Service) and a Capability (people carry out Activities…).

The text from Boy Child arrived as I was shuttling Girl Child from school to appointment to another appointment. The ringtone his texts make is called "Bubbles." I chose the ringtone because it sounds like poo hitting the toilet. Plip. Plop. That way I smile whenever he texts me, no matter what the text may hold.
Usually his texts make me smile, anyway. He makes discoveries and has to share. "There's a dope Packard on the side of the road I could get for parts." Sometimes he needs advice. "Can I cook noodles in an iron skillet?" I didn't respond in time and he did. Maybe that's why the folks north of the Mason-Dixon line up in Cincinnati didn't quite get this guy. He's a southern boy through and through. Bow ties are for wearing and cast iron skillets are for cooking. Absolutely anything.
Occasionally, I DON'T smile when I hear "Plip. Plop." When he was at school this past semester, I frowned. A lot. "The speaker for the co-op program pointed me out in front of the class and said bow ties were childish and trendy." There were more. "A homeless guy just kicked me in the shins and ran." This is why Boy Child is taking a semester off and working as tech support at his alma mater.
And why he was home watching Treehouse Masters when he texted me. Plip. Plop. I pulled over into a parking spot to read the text. "I had a crazy idea. I'll tell you when you get home."
That boy is smart. He knows when a teaser will get my attention. I called him. "What's your idea?" I asked. "I'm running errands and I have to pee." I don't know why I always tell people when I have to pee. I'm an overweight, middle-aged woman who has had two children. Of course I have to pee.
He was watching Treehouse Masters. The Discovery, Velocity, Learning and History channels and their ilk will be the death of our retirement fund. Their shows have inspired the go cart made from a futon ruined in the Great Flood of 2010, the purchasing and refurbishing of six vintage bicycles, the purchasing and semi-rebuilding of a 1949 Packard, the destruction and reconstruction of a play set into a treehouse, the launch of a rocket – or twelve – into the neighborhood. What rocket? Us? We don't know nothin' 'bout no rocket. And the building of a motorized bike. Self-preservation, medication and legal issues prevent me from continuing.
This time, our good friends on Animal Planet had inspired Boy Child to do something out of the box. "It is a REALLY crazy, idea, Mom," he warned. More crazy than buying a 1959 vintage camper? More crazy than buying Bonarroo tickets for the family? More crazy than trying to convince Spousal Unit to buy back Girl Child's first pony so I know that she's o.k? I know from crazy, boy.
"Let's turn Daisy into a treehouse."
Now, that is freaking crazy. Initially, I shot him down faster than a mobster on Valentine's Day. "But, I want her to go places. I could never get my fat ass up in a tree house. The neighbors would CRAP."
The icky neighbors would crap. The ones shooting at a fox near my son's bedroom window all those years ago. The ones who have more noisy equipment rat-a-tatting, buzzing, sucking, blowing, on a daily basis than an over-developed developer's construction site. Those neighbors would grumble into their mint juleps. The cool nabes would love it, though. The cool nabes would BRING mint juleps. Besides, tree houses are allowed in our city within a city. Campers, not so much. I do love semantics.
I pushed aside my need to pee and we brainstormed. We could use a bicycle hoist to get me up and down. Treehouse Master dude had shown that on one of his episodes. We could stick Daisy up between two of the huge magnolias in our back yard. She isn't a Shasta, but she'd have wings. There would be a deck out the back. I would have a view. It would be very Zen.
He brainstormed. I squirmed. I really did need to pee. Waitaminute. Daisy doesn't have a potty. No way was I going to be aloft in the middle of a magnolia without easy access to a water closet. I could always tinkle off the deck, but then I wouldn't be the only one with a view. I couldn't do that to even the service-addicted, fox shootin' people next door.
He continued to brainstorm, but I had come back down to earth. "Dude. If she isn't even strong enough to be deemed road worthy by you, then how can she hold her weight up in a freaking tree?" It was simple, he said. We weld her to I-beams and then we…. I got lost in the technicalities. My eyes crossed. They were swimming anyway. I really, honest-to-God had to pee.
I hated to shoot him down. After all, we NEED our next generations to think outside the box, untethered by parameters that might be obsolete. Who knows, trying to hang a vintage camper in magnolias might lead to the cure for cancer. But I needed to thwart his desire for raising Daisy to new heights before he started ordering I-beams and cranes from Amazon.
I am embarrassed to say, I resorted to using the old bait and switch trick from his toddler years, when we had to leave the uber cool bookstore with the train table. Instead of tempting him with a Thomas the Tank Engine book, holding it out in front of him, like a fake rabbit to a racing greyhound, I simply mentioned food. I was going to Whole Foods later, so I asked him what sounded good. He redirected smoothly and Daisy remains earthbound.
Until the next episode of Fast 'n' Loud inspires him to put a big block engine in her. Plip. Plop.

Dylan Krieger - Heady sound-based unabashed blasphemy. Kick in the dick, pathogenic poetry sure to infect society with exactly the offense it needs
Dylan Krieger, Giving Godhead, Delete Press, 2017.
"If a girl, a virus, a horned animal, milkweed, an exchange of cash for dirty looks, the near-rhyme of greed to death, the names of all brutes, and a shroud in which was wrapped the erect ascendant all met in an ovum and, lodged deep in the earth's core, fused into a supernova. If, from that long ago time until this very moment—perhaps even into the future—that supernova were listening in on us, her grave canal located such that she were overexposed to US American politicovangelizing, all at once began to speak: this is what she says." – Danielle Pafunda
"Dylan Krieger is an expert assassin with the messianic fervor of a deconstructed goth-girl, a rogue priestess exorcising and excoriating our tricked-out 'apocalypse fetish,' dealing out death-blows 'quid pro blow.' These poems are erratic/erotic receivers channeling bad transmissions from our 'edenic pandemic'—the media clusterfuck, body-as-clickbait, that gaslights women into being their own terror portals. Here unfettered receivership, masochism, and degradation are served as the ultimate limit experience, the euphoria of the self-detonating female body that ejects its own organs so that the whole Christ-addled misfire that is our masculinist moral world 'might splat.'" —Lara Glenum
"'… a part of me is always eating part of you…' This word-drunk, 'son-drunk' book of ecstatic technology doesn't just profane the sacred but also – the much less common – sacralizes the profane, the grotesque, the body in all of its troubling, intoxicating, ruinous splendor. These highly skilled, outrageous poems move at a breakneck speed." —Johannes Göransson
"Heady sound-based unabashed blasphemy. Kick in the dick, pathogenic poetry sure to infect society with exactly the offense it needs." —Vincent Cellucci
As its suggestively punning title implies, Giving Godhead is a volume of poetry that challenges the boundary between the sacred and the obscene by conflating biblical images of "holy" acquiescence with sexually deviant forms of submission characteristic of BDSM roleplaying. This conflation of saintly and sinful acts of submission naturally centers around a meditation on Christ's Passion, emphasizing the paradoxical way in which the Christian savior's simultaneous authority and obedience fashions him into a heteronormative archetype of both masculine dominance and feminine submission, despite his own supposed celibacy. However, the manuscript ultimately looks beyond individual biblical narratives to illustrate their central commonalities and even interchangeability, locating echoes of Christ's violent subjugation in Torahdic plagues, exiles, and burnt offerings alike. Similarly, this guiding principle of conflation or interchangeability extends also to Giving Godhead's richly musical aesthetic, which features dense wordplay and double entendres in order to demonstrate the inevitable sensual trans-figurations of a "word made flesh" merely to be "broken and bruised for our iniquities." In this way, Giving Godhead rewrites the foundational narratives of biblical mythology in light of contemporary gender and social theory, namely by portraying humanity's relationship with a monolithic deity as the primordial paradigm of an imbalanced and abusive power dynamic. - Abstract from Giving Godhead – Dylan Krieger – LSU Master's Theses (2015).
In this new age of the carnivalesque, understatement might be a greater currency than overstatement. So if I say that Dylan Krieger's "Giving Godhead" will be the best collection of poetry to appear in English in 2017, you can trust the understatement, aside from the casual assertion of prophecy. Seamlessly mixing the religious with the obscene, determined to create a new form of the grotesque that marries autobiography to personal and national trauma, Krieger's book is easily among the most inventive and successfully performative works to appear in living memory.
Krieger's title and her dedication to "all god's / little trauma children" seem to indicate a specific trauma at the heart of this collection, although it is never addressed directly. Rather, it haunts the entire collection, as the inherited God of both Judaism and Christianity becomes (as the Marquis de Sade once wrote) a being defined by the inherent violence of his son's conception. The father who sent "down out of Heaven this respectable part of himself" embodies an act of violation and generation at once, and in the logic of both Sade and Krieger thus partakes of those things we have come most to treasure and to fear — on the one hand, the bread and the wine, communion and transubstantiation; on the other hand, violent intercession, assault and rape. Each shares a part of the other's reality. In a more conventional narrative sequence, even a sequence of poems, this interpenetration would acquire sequence and evolution. In Krieger's collection, by contrast, it acquires a new poetics rooted in the recent rise of the Gurlesque movement, with its dramatic wordplay growing out of fury, sexual violence and paradoxical self-assurance.
The first section, "Quid Pro Blow," makes the case that drives the collection — roughly, "You abused me" (and the entire first section reads the "you" on both macro- and micro-scales) "so watch what I do to you." But if the primal wound to the speaker here is physical and psychic, she is not out for physical revenge. Rather, she takes on a kind of underground Zohar meditation, as in the poem "rectifire":
Then she goes further, wondering if what some of us might quaintly call "original sin" in fact invokes a "surprise, surprise: forced consent isn't anyone's crime but the fire's / hanging right above our heads." The Fall here is perpetual forced consent from birth; rape is one consequence. The problem with rape in "Giving Godhead" is that, unlike the "forced consent" of being human, rape won't stop giving: the "rape dreams" she cites (in "swaddling plot") lead to an anxiety of influence when God, unable to bear the burden of his story, creates the Flood and simultaneously sets in motion the motion in which "the Old Testicles always give rise to the New."
Rape dreams, by a variety of names, haunt the first section of the book: In "biblical umbilical," when the narrator tries from childhood to imagine a cord back to the divine, she learns in the end "no one's guarded by — an angel but a bomb." The shift in scale here is clearly intentional, as the poem foreshadows the expansion in the second part of the book from individuals and dreams toward the larger problem of human lineage, set partly in the language of 20th-century analytic philosophy. The third section explodes that larger problem with its conclusions about the impossibility of conjuring any legitimate answer to the First Question: "Why?"
Krieger's poetry echoes her earlier academic scholarship on the Gurlesque — a movement that, according to Arielle Greenberg, "was born between about 1960 and 1982 (it was a long labor)" and that came into focus in Greenberg and Lara Glenum's 2010 anthology, "Gurlesque: The New Grrly, Grotesque, Burlesque Poetics." The Riot Grrrl scene was loosely connected, but so were "elements from Sesame Street childhoods, Goth, punk, grunge and ballet class," Greenberg explains in her introduction. Artifice and camp ("from cosmos to cosmetics," as the poet and critic Daniel Tiffany has written, in a phrase Glenum quotes in her own introduction to the anthology) — anything that might be anti-objectified or hyper-objectified in protest, anything that might be re-embraced as a claim to power rather than submission, anything that might have roots in fear and contamination and nevertheless be nurtured into a celebration of resistance — became part of the movement. But one sentence near the end of Glenum's introduction is of particular interest when it comes to "Giving Godhead": "Gurlesque poets," she writes, "owe a great deal to Emily Dickinson, the original Goth girl."
Above all, "Giving Godhead" makes an implicit case that, if Dickinson had been able to turn her rage at the mysteries of the world outward and also invited the sea to follow her inside, she would have blown the lid on creation as a direct precursor to Dylan Krieger. Krieger's lack of a direct precursor, despite the abundant literary, religious and philosophical references embedded in the ingenious wordplay of her collection, is part of what makes "Giving Godhead" completely remarkable. Not sui generis — the rape dreams came from somewhere. But the places where they go in this book are places I have never seen any poet go before. "Giving Godhead" blows several giant craters out through the walls of our inherited and now somewhat cowed Western selves. It is a bomb with an angel behind it. - Thomas Simmons
So you missed Allen Ginsberg's oral-earthquake "Howl" at Six Galleries in SFO on Friday, October 6, 1955. Stop lamenting. "Howl"'s heir is at your fingertips. NOW. It's by Dylan W. Krieger.
Dylan W. Krieger's February 2017 Giving Godhead, from Delete Press, is such a City Lights oral performance on the page that you might be forgiven—if anyone is forgiven for anything in Giving Godhead, which is not always clear—for thinking that you had heard the "new" Ginsberg. But Ginsberg himself surely would have trouble with this proto-nostalgic reverence, for who would the "new" Ginsberg be? Certainly not anyone who sounded "like" Ginsberg. The new Ginsberg would somehow have to do the old one better, would have to re-map the territory. This is what Giving Godhead does. If Krieger is quickly becoming the oracle of a generation (and her dreamland trash will be out from Saint Julian Press in time for AWP in February 2018), Giving Godhead is a manifesto that invokes Ginsberg while owing nothing aside from history to him.
If you order a copy of Giving Godhead, you will receive a paperback with a color/black-and-white cover of a dead, carbuncled body praying, an apparently-live tongue being dissected, perfect fingernails on hideously contorted fingers, and a skull cut open at the back to reveal nothing but crumpled paper. You will also find an epigraph from the Marquis de Sade and, most moving, a dedication to "all god's/ little trauma children/ lonely kneeling/ molested & infected/ for they shall/ inherit his girth./" By the time you get to the first section of the book, "Quid pro Blow," you know you are holding as much a manifesto as Ginsberg ever managed, but altered radically by gender, generation, and method: the narrator of this collection has gathered all of Ginsberg's mouthy assertions into that great ball of a question, the "why virus," aimed directly at the nature of creation and its fundamentalist interpretations and seriously injured along the way by a body that can be at once itself and its opposite, the embodiment of extreme pleasure and the site of extreme unsought hell. Though the poem "why's virus" doesn't come till page 55, near the end of the collection, its traumatized and fierce voice undergirds the entire book. This voice doesn't need to inherit an "earth": it needs to inherit a "girth" equivalent to God's failed presence, His failure to save, to rescue. There. That's the truth. For those of us who know and read this book as a balm of truth, that's the truth. And Krieger gets it, over, and over, in a collection that opens and closes with a deracination of syntax and a fury that reminds us—if we needed reminding—that a deep and foolish complacency lies at the heart of the principle of a "JUST GOD" who would PLANT A LANDMINE IN THE GARDEN IN THE FIRST PLACE??? ("rectifier," p. 15).
At first glance, Giving Godhead looks a little as if someone had given Emily Dickinson Adderall—lots of em-dashes, short lines, long long lines that don't in fact sound like Ginsberg, nearly every conceivable variant on poetic form. Ironically, the one poem that most "looks" like a poem, "why's virus," also contains both the most deeply moving, earnest child's moment and the most potent "note to the self." If you are raised to be devoutly religious but have the propensity at every moment to ask "why," questioning becomes a virus—which is to say, you become a disease to the converted—and the "why"'s never stop, in part because—behind those questions—you realize that you, little mortal kid that you are, are actually kinder, more loving, and more just than the God you are being taught to worship, and worshipping a Creator who is inferior to ordinary you is obscene: yet that is what happens, day after day. "note to the self: roar to the world: the lord is just another dirty bird" ("why's virus," p. 55). But roaring doesn't mean you're not already infected, and part of that "infection" is sexuality: no better example in the experience of being human than such intense, private pleasure as a young child discovering her body but also intense pain and shock at what others inflict. Sexual trauma and divine betrayal are the two harmonic vibrations beneath all of Giving Godhead, and though no specific moment of violation is named (though "quid pro blow," about forced oral sex, is about as graphic as one could get), the narrator spells it out in "apostles anonymous" (p. 53): on the one hand she is such a spiritual failure that her only purpose is to await the inevitable rape (and "rape dreams" appear in "in media rape" (p 14), "scaredy creature" (p. 19), "swaddling plot" (p. 21), and "automessiah" (p. 24); on the other hand, in her fury at her unasked-for and untenable position she has become de facto a force to be reckoned with, one who in the absence of a just God is entirely capable, if need be, of inheriting God's "girth."
Krieger is a scholar of Latin and 20th-century analytic philosophy as well as a poet--Giving Godhead won the Robert Penn Warren Prize for best MFA thesis at Louisiana State University in 2015—and it's worth studying her curriculum vitae at dylankrieger.com for its abundance of prior publications, a number of them "academic" articles that presage her future work. Krieger's engagement with the "Gurlesque," via Lara Glenum and Arielle Greenberg's 2010 anthology Gurlesque, is useful as a reminder that defiance is not a one-note performance (and Krieger's interest here centers as much on contemporary visual performance art as it does on literature). Defiance embraces the "grotesque," including the improbable orifices and excretions of the body, re-defining the body as necessary with humor and wit; defiance embraces pleasure at the bodily and emotional sites of historically masculocentric dominance; definance embraces the "riot-grrrl" within the interpretable text of the secretly wounded. Krieger's work shows its debt to the "Gurlesque."
But in retrospect—as with queer Ginsberg—nothing really in the past could prepare the world for the prophetic paradigm ofGiving Godhead. If—veering sharply for a moment away from Krieger's text—Harold Bloom's brilliant redactor J, whom Bloom renders female, had for a night muted her wounds to sleep with the ancient poet-warrior David, who himself exceeded his creator, the result, lost in the dust of history, would have been a new and outraged heaven and a new and outraged earth. In our new time, not 1955 but 2017, that result is the new howl, Giving Godhead. - Thomas Simmons
Far Cry
A far cry from full tide. A far cry from curtain & cord. A fist full of quick tinsel. A fuck ton of lost fur. He said 'are you wearing spurs?' I said 'no, but I've a belt made of blacksmiths.' Yes, all the blacksmiths I have blown. All the blacksmiths I have heated up/hammered/burst/beaten into gold. They are a hoard of a thousand horses, mounting fire in the dust. They flagellate their bellies to burlap, they scrape their fat faces to fringe. I mean to say I pricked them with a nasty nettle, or, I packed in their pistols with clay. Either way, they are made to push up my marina body. Either way, I am full of mad boats. They are walked on by the far cries of the drowning in the harbor towns. They are burnt by the search lights in the bay. There is a prize in my navel for the one who swallows the largest electric eel. There is a button. A kettle. A basket of bruised fruit. There is a locket with a picture of a peasant penetrating a lighthouse, his hind haunch to the sea, in the shadow of a fish-filled wave.

but nowadays your garbled barbles never tasted better. no matter how much your bog moss makes love to the gutter, you still wonder what's next once you ditch the catfish trap house, with all its iridescent claws a-clash. not everybody can handle a bottom feeder's garbage trundle, but me? i'm of another puddle. the ones who'd rather eat their demons than leave them to their own diseases. the ones who never lost that most primeval thanatoxic fever. with one foot on the cantilever and the other streaming dirty needles, i pull myself up from the river by my peaty skin and shingles, dripping maladapted tadpoles and the urge to binge on roadside litter, because under every dumpster baby is a mother too tired to keep treading water, and a smoke signal for all the subaqueous fathers who taught her what the thunder said was not for her to ponder, who fed her ageless algae to the alligators just to watch her botched face flounder

forthcoming from Saint Julian Press, dreamland trash (66 pp.) is a book of poems centered on the stigmatized and/or criminalized margins of American society—particularly drug culture, queer culture, hookup culture, internet culture, conspiracy theories, mental illness, and the anxieties that accompany our conscious complicity in impending self-extinction. The method of its composition is largely collage, drawing snippets of text from overheard bar chatter, hallucinogenic rants, alien abduction documentaries, government documents, and YouTube's often nonsensical automatic captioning software. As a result, the book ultimately presents a fractured post-apocalyptic vision of American culture that prioritizes substances and resources over human ties and still willfully and woefully denies the inevitable consequences of climate change even under the ominous skies of an increasingly shadowy military-industrial complex.
no ledge left to love
no ledge left to love (65 pp.) is a full-length prose poetry project that reimagines and challenges the frameworks of Western philosophical thought experiments, especially with respect to gender, moral certitude, and diachronic identity. Each poem focuses on a different thought experiment in analytical philosophy, from Plato's allegory of the cave to Nagel's spider in a urinal. Recognizing that Western philosophy—like all academic disciplines—has been largely dominated by wealthy cis straight white men, no ledge attempts to dismantle the reductive binaries and disembodied logic of the analytical philosophical vernacular, emphasizing instead the rich physicality and potent mutability of the bodies required to convey its lofty ideas.
Re:ACTION! (90 pp.) catalogs and satirizes the action-packed scenes we have watched evolve into a sort of American mythology of violence between the forces of good and evil. In these lyrical and narrative poems written collaboratively with Vincent Cellucci, we approach the well-worn subjects as general scenarios rather than trivializing them by name-dropping individual films. Titles include "briefcase full o' $$$," "firing gun at nothing while screaming," "bomb countdown," "lone witness' incomprehensible last words," "torch the place & watch it burn," and "hanging from cliff // stepping on fingertips", and "human shield." We think these tropes are very symptomatic of our escapist and violence-saturated culture. Contemporary social issues present in the manuscript include our national preoccupation with war and addiction, xenophobic villainizing of the "other," the presence of a police state, sexualized depictions of physical domination, and the persistence of reductive gender stereotypes in Hollywood blockbusters.
We believe this text will have a broader market base than other poetry publications since it appeals to pop cultural studies and film lovers everywhere. We are looking for a press to actively support this project and help us reach a wide audience.
the mother wart
the mother wart (70 pp.) is a book of prose poems loosely based around the tenets of the Church of Euthanasia, whose only commandment--for both ethical and practical reasons--is "thou shalt not breed." Looking beyond the movement's environmental and social goals, the mother wart delves into an autobiographical meditation on early memories and associations with motherhood, childbirth, infancy, and female sexuality, emphasizing the importance of early childhood trauma in the decision to abstain from having children of one's own. In its thick fog of sound play, close-set cycles of internal rhyme evoke a nursery rhyme starting to spin off-kilter, a grade-school chant turned violent and unpredictable. This is the version of the fairy tale in which the witch wins. But here, the witch is also mother, the origins of life transformed into a sign of virus (the wart). The grotesque, therefore, figures heavily throughout these poems, especially in the sense of Mary Russo's The Female Grotesque, which points out the pregnant female body constitutes the epitome of the human form as a site of volatile and irrepressible change--traversing that rare region between revulsion and attraction, in which the two at last appear not so opposed after all, but rather the respective poles of a dividing line that in fact comes full circle if followed far and fearlessly enough.
DeWitt Brinson: Take a word for a form of genitalia and write a brief history of it as if it were apart of a royal family.
Dylan Krieger: If 'cunny' were royalty she'd be rock 'n' roll royalty. None of that inbred Grand Duchess shit. Or maybe she's a pagan nature goddess, one with the earth because she comes from a long line of terms for 'rabbit hole.' She's happy with the rabbits coming in and out of her. But she resents, like her step-sister 'sheath,' being named for an empty space defined by what fills it, so she kills off all the undressed peasants filling her land and replaces them with retractable pillars of trance-inducing dildo fog.
DB: What do you do when you have trouble with writing?
Dylan Krieger: Lately I've developed a very specific solution to this problem. To wit: I watch YouTube videos (usually about some niche conspiracy theory or another) with the auto-generated closed captions on. The most inventive or nonsensical of the resulting phrases make their way into my poem, but the connective tissue I still supply myself.
DB: Think of a happy childhood memory. What is one of your favorite poems and where were you when you first read it?
Dylan Krieger: One of my favorite poems is still Plath's "Daddy," echoes of whose rhymey cheekiness can certainly be heard in my own work. I was homeschooled all the way through high school, so I'm sure I first read it at my parents' kitchen table, probably around 9th grade. The irony is that, despite its simple children's-book rhymes, the poem depicts a decidedly unhappy childhood, and I think that's what attracted me. I've always adored the creeptastic chemical reaction between a poem's music and its underlying mythos
DB: Take a deep breath. Now scream while writing until you run out of scream.
Dylan Krieger: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKTHEWHIRLEDINALLITSOCEANICATTACKZONEZZZZZZ
DB: What are some of the ways you've imagined yourself dying?
Dylan Krieger: I'm always either drowning or in a car accident. My car is normally the only place I feel free to scream (except for just now), so I spend a disproportionate amount of time there. Add to that the overall frequency of fatal car accidents in the US, and chances are…
DB: Did you have any imaginary friends? If so, who? If not, why weren't you more popular in your imagination?
Dylan Krieger: All my friends are imaginary. My imagination is the milieu in which I am most popular, for sure. But since I base a lot of my creative output on real-life input (see q. 2), all of my imaginary friends are basically subversive caricatures of people I actually know. For example, there's this coked-out version of my mom I sometimes like to ask grown-up gatekeeper questions like how many exemptions I can claim on my taxes.
DB: How does the way you think of yourself differ from how you want other people to think of you??
Dylan Krieger: I fear I'm rather scatterbrained and live by no clear moral code. But as long as other people don't judge, I'm alright with them finding out. (Trouble is, they usually do.)
DB: What are the differences and similarities between good and bad poems?
Dylan Krieger: I often joke that the only difference between a good and bad poem is its unapologeticness, also known as its don't-give-a-fuck-ness. Little secret: I used to be an angsty punk kid, and I still put a high premium on art that's loud, brash, and in-your-face rather than "pretty." I also just get bored really easily, so I favor the punchy, the raunchy, the violent, and the depraved. Of course I'm well aware there's lots of good poetry that doesn't fit that description, but it tends to put me to sleep before I can reflect much on its deeper merits.
DB: What's the last thing you argued about? Please describe it as if it were an argument between two kittens.
Dylan Krieger: Napping arrangements. Basically Vince & I were some scruffy tabbies who had just gotten attacked by this big ugly bulldog called Cyclobenzaprine, and we both wanted to sleep in this one nook of the Cat Palace but we couldn't both fit. Luckily we were too zonked to clash claws, but later I guilted him for not caring about my happiness enough to back down sooner.
DB: Take a minute or two to recall some great sex you've had. Now describe your writing.
Dylan Krieger: Conveniently, I'm unable to describe my writing without thinking of great sex. Ha. But seriously: poetry is highly musical for me, and hence highly sensual, physical, carnal. There was a time when I wrote a lot of homophonic translation, but even my best attempts at "pure" sound poetry were no more fulfilling than a really hot one-night-stand. Now, when I challenge myself to infuse the same dense sound play with some near-coherent meaning, the result is much closer to those third-date consummation butterflies everybody's always cocooning for. - http://www.tender-loin.com/krieger_interview.html

"We Develop Interpersonal Skills"
- Many TechGenners like to network outside of their organizations; companies can and should help facilitate external mentoring opportunities.
- They want better, faster and more effective mentor programs — or they're ditching HR and doing it on their own.
- Mentorship programs can help companies match TechGenners with experienced mentors in the roles they want to fill.
- From the Huffington Post:
- 75% millennials want a mentor
- Mentors are crucial for success
- The Wharton Schools' strong business case for mentoring:
- Mentored millennial employees get promoted 6X more than non-mentored.
- Retention rate is 20% higher
- Cost to hire $15-$20,000 per person
We understand the need to develop the complete, promotable employee among the younger generation. Some of the areas companies have identified as lacking are:
- Deep thinking capabilities
- Reading others expressions and body language
- Speaking in a non-polished manner
- Curt tone of texts/tweets with supervisors
- Reaction to rejection or critical feedback
- Understandable interaction among generations
Our Mission is to bridge the gap between generations with communication and understanding so that we can work seamlessly together.
"Traditional corporate mentorships just don't cut it for today's millennial workers. Younger employees seek meaningful and time-efficient relationships."
