Graduation poetry/
I hope all of you had an amazing Memorial Day weekend! My whole family was together for the weekend to attend my youngest child's college graduation ceremony on Saturday. It was a very hot and humid day! The ceremony was great, the speakers were interesting—especially, my daughter Hannah who gave out an award on stage—and we all got some color from the sun!
I have talked about my mom and my children with you, but there is someone important you have not met—my husband. He is a very hard working computer geek. He is also a fisherman, biker (road bikes, not motorcycles), hunter and handyman. He has a wonderful talent that he does not often use...writing poetry!
His poetry writing skills are only used to commemorate special occasions! He wrote this poem for our daughter Paige as a graduation gift.
He was able to capture her personality and heart perfectly with his words! The photo is of the Brooklyn bridge, as Paige lives in New York City. She works at the NYC Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society overseeing a fundraising campaign, Man and Woman of the Year!
I wish you hadn't grown up so fast
So we could have just one more summer blast
It still feels like you should be only three
Amazing to see the woman you have grown up to be
Creative and confident, the best crafter and sitter
I even heard a rumor that you only sweat glitter
When the problems are tough and there's a squeeze
You juggle with one hand and make it look like a breeze
You know that it's important to love and to give
And that helping others is the best way to live
You are making a difference with the work you do
That's just one reason why we are so proud of you

Sure, Ego can control his basic appearance, environment, structure, and where his "face" (and anything else he wants) manifests, but he's still a weird and wonderful foe for the ages!

Hasini Jayatilaka
Hasini Jayatilaka is a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford University who studies mechanisms of relapse and metastasis in childhood cancers. Hasini grew up in Sri Lanka and pursued her B.S. and Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Hasini discovered a novel mechanism that causes cancer cells to break away from tumors and metastasize.
01 CHANGE: A change you enacted with intention, or one that came from the outside.
I decided to switch off notification for emails on my phone. This was to help me to disconnect from work when I wasn't supposed to be working such as spending time with a loved one. The change has allowed me to be more in the moment without hearing the beeps from my phone.
02 SIMPLE NOURISHMENT: What simply satisfied you? Maybe it was a ten-minute phone call with a friend. Maybe it was a perfectly timed bath. Maybe it was a sandwich.
Having brunch with two of my best friends and catching up after a challenging few months. Being surrounded by familiarity simply nourished me.
03 NEW TO YOU: What did you do for the first time, as a beginner or simply with a new sense of openness?
Made a Sri Lankan dessert that I had never attempted to make before because I thought it was too difficult. After watching many YouTube videos and going over the procedure many times in my head, I successfully made Wattalapam (Cardamom spiced coconut custard)...And it was delicious.
04 ABUNDANCE: What was plentiful?
Love and support from my partner.
05 LOSS: What was lost, what are you mourning? Maybe it is minor. Maybe it was more of a simplification than a "loss."
Losing confidence in someone I thought I could always count on.
06 MYSTERY: Describe a mystery from the last month. What happened that you can't explain?
I am unable to find my favorite T-shirt even though I ransacked my whole closet. I'm certain I didn't take it with me while traveling.
07 FRONT BURNER LIST: What was read, watched, seen, listened to? Any colors, tastes, sensorial details that stand out?
Watching the Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony. I felt ...sadness for what she went through / Admiration for her bravery / Anger for her loss of self and innocence / Gratitude that she came forward and shared her harrowing story which inspired others to share their own.
08 PROPORTION: A specific moment that reminded you of the scale of the universe, that you are part of a greater whole. An outdoor shower in the mountains. A particular drive at night. Reading a certain quotation at the right time.
An early morning drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Driving through the different landscapes, especially through the valleys, made me think about how much more there is to explore in the world.

Arlington Real Estate
Arlington is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States, six miles (10 km) northwest of Boston. The population was 42,844 at the 2010 census.
The Town of Arlington was settled by European colonists in 1635 as a village within the boundaries of Cambridge, Massachusetts under the name Menotomy, an Algonquian word meaning "swift running water". A larger area, including land that was later to become the town of Belmont, and outwards to the shore of the Mystic River, which had previously been part of Charlestown, was incorporated on February 27, 1807 as West Cambridge. In 1867, the name "Arlington" was chosen in honor of those buried in Arlington National Cemetery; the name change took effect that April 30. [1]

LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- While energy prices have soared, bonds have rallied of late, and stocks have held up well. The word from the financial press is that financial market reaction to energy prices has been muted because energy is a much smaller component of the economy than it was in the 1970s. This is bunk.
The main difference between the 1970s and now as regards energy prices arises from the difference in Fed policy. Rising oil prices rained havoc for financial markets in the 1970s because the Fed then had already unleashed the inflation beast.
The historical facts clearly bear this out, and they also clearly display the bankruptcy of the common belief that OPEC brought inflation to the U.S. in the 1970s. The OPEC oil shocks occurred in October 1973 and May 1979. In both cases, U.S. inflation had already accelerated sharply before the oil shock.
In the 1973-74 episode, Arab oil producers embargoed exports to the West in retaliation for its support of Israel in the Rosh Hoshannah War (October 1973). U.S. CPI inflation had already jumped to an 8.5 percent rate in the six months through September 1973.
Similarly, the May 1979 oil shock occurred followed a disruption in Iranian oil production during the Islamic revolution. CPI inflation had already risen to a 10.5 percent rate prior to this event.
In both of these instances, Fed and Administration policies were driving rising inflation, leading to rising interest rates and falling stock prices. This pre-existing inflation environment worked to empower the OPEC cartel. Sure, geo-political events provided the spark, but U.S. economic conditions provided the "fuel." Oil prices were rising sharply, but so were those of most other primary commodities. Energy prices weren't a cause of inflationary conditions then so much as a symptom of them.
By contrast, inflation was actually on the wane (1.7 percent) when oil prices began to rise early last year. Fed policy has generally been anti-inflationary through the last twenty years, and it shifted quickly to further restraint last year as the Asian Crisis waned. Asian-Crisis-induced declines in oil and natural gas inventories have helped to "stoke" oil prices this time around. Meanwhile, however, prices of other commodities have been remarkably restrained, and in most cases, these are still below pre-Asian Crisis levels.
Similarly, inflation outside the oil patch shows little impact from higher energy prices.
Whatever else is going on in energy markets, stocks and bonds stoic response can be attributed to the otherwise-tranquil inflation conditions. I've blamed the Fed for the chaos of the 1970s, and in past columns, I have also critiqued their "overly restrictive" policy in recent years. To be fair, I should acknowledge that the relatively tranquil financial market conditions opposite the current energy fiasco can be wholly attributed to the non-inflationary current conditions that Fed policy has fostered.
Other Energy Realities
Meanwhile, government price controls in place in the 1970s can be blamed for the markets' slow response to OPEC price increases then. This is one area where things haven't changed much.
Washington complained loudly recently about especially high gas prices in the Midwest. That roar faded abruptly when Administration documents admitted that it was government-imposed supply constraints which were responsible for the higher Midwestern prices.
Similarly, various state legislatures and Congress have either enacted or considered fuel tax rescission. While such measures provide some relief to consumers, they also serve to increase the demand for energy and to further raise the price paid to OPEC producers.
If it were really serious about reversing high energy prices, the government should work to restrain energy demand and/or stimulate energy supply, not to reward energy consumers.

Vanilla is much more than a delicious flavour that we can enjoy in many foods and drinks. Vanilla has several powerful health benefits that make it a great natural remedy for a variety of health conditions. Learn about the powerful charcateristics of UZUMA Vanilla Tea!
You may know vanilla as a flavour that is found in many foods and drinks, from baked goods and desserts to ice cream, shakes, and teas. But did you know that vanilla is much more than just a delicious-tasting ingredient? Vanilla has been known and used to treat health conditions like upset stomach, asthma, and congestion for thousands of years. Learn all about the powerful health benefits of Vanilla.
Vanilla is a flavouring that comes from the edible fruit of the vanilla orchid, Vanilla planifolia. The word vanilla comes from the Spanish word "vaina" for "little pod", describing the longish fruits or pods of the vanilla orchid.
The benefits of vanilla for treating different types of health conditions are many. The Aztecs cultivated the vanilla orchids, which they called "tlilxochitl", and used them to relieve digestive and respiratory conditions. Despite originally coming from Middle and South America, today vanilla is cultivated in many regions around the world.
Among the earliest use for vanilla was to soothe varies types of inflammation, particularly of the liver. It is known that vanilla extract has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which make it a potential remedy for inflammatory health conditions such as arthritis or gout.
The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in vanilla prevent the breakdown of cells and tissues in the body and stimulate their new growth. Together with the antibacterial properties of vanilla and its calming effect, it can be ideal when you want extra help recovering from illness.
The sweet and aromatic smell of vanilla induces quite a relaxing effect. This can make vanilla a great natural remedy for daily anxiety and stress relief. A nice soothing bath with vanilla or a cup of vanilla tea in the evening may be all that you need to relax and get a good night's rest.
Vanillin may have cholesterol-lowering benefits. A study published in 2013 in the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology found that high doses of vanillin led to a significant reduction in total blood cholesterol levels in rats who were fed a high-fat diet. Although the study used very high quantities of vanillin, more than what is normally found in food and drink, the results of the study are certainly promising.
Our UZUMA Vanilla Tea makes a great addition to your slow juicing regimen for losing weight. One good thing about vanilla is that it's a natural flavouring with barely any calories, unlike other food additions such as chocolate. As such, UZUMA's vanilla tea makes the perfect, guilt-free addition to your weight loss program. In addition, the antioxidant and cleansing properties of vanilla help you flush out harmful wastes, making it an ideal companion during a detox.
The powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of vanilla can make it a particularly good remedy for soothing skin blemishes and acne. Vanilla tea helps by fighting and getting rid of impurities, reducing the appearance of pimples and eliminating the underlying infection. Moreover, with its ability to support new cell growth, it helps your skin heal so it can become smooth and clear. Vanilla can also help with reducing the appearance of acne scars. A recent study found that vanilla can possibly also be a powerful remedy to treat and to prevent psoriasis, which is a chronic skin disease that leads to red, itchy, and flaky skin.
Some beauty products contain vanilla because it is also effective when applied topically. Vanilla promotes good blood circulation to the scalp, it can heal and strengthen damaged hair, and gives it a nice and healthy appearance. Vanilla essential oil diluted in a carrier oil such as coconut makes a great natural treatment for healthy and beautiful hair!

Pleasure Garden, Issue 5 – Spring/Summer 2019
Taking inspiration from the pleasure gardens of 18th century London this magazine engages its public with an array of attractions – ranging from the past to the present, the sedate to the salacious. Here we step away from the practicalities of the garden instead placing it within a wider cultural context. The pleasure garden was always a place to escape to – a fantasy in a garden, filled with art, music, fashion, society and sex. It is this mix that we transport to the printed pages of Pleasure Garden.
In this issue:
This issue sees us go Au Naturel – uncovering a theme that has had shifting boundaries and conflicting definitions. Our Icon William Robinson was a man who sought to imagine a new, more 'natural' style of gardening. Jo Metson Scott photographs his legacy at Gravetye with words by Richard Bisgrove. Jonny Bruce takes us on a journey to three subversive gardens that liberated his thinking of what a garden could be. We revisit Howards Sooley's photographs of Derek Jarman and Dungeness and he shares memories of his friend in Mourned by the Wind. Concepts of beauty are bought under the spotlight with Against Nature by Bethan Cole, photographed by Drew Vickers, and A Vision of Beauty by Sarah Jane Downing. We also take a look at The Bush with artist Ruth van Beek and explore the idea of being naked in At One with Nature…

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- As Wall Street's largest firms open their wallets for technology spending, investment bankers in increasing numbers are staking out ground for potential deal-making in a resurgent industry.
From boutique investment houses like Financial Technology Partners to blue-chip firms like J.P. Morgan Chase, bankers say the time is ripe for consolidation among fragmented tech companies that specialize in software, computers and other information technology services catering to the financial sector.
FT Partners, a San Francisco-based investment bank, was founded in 2002 to specialize in deals for the growing tech market. The firm is close to completing the sale this week of "the largest privately held financial technology firm in the past five years," said Steve McLaughlin, managing director and founder.
Last year, Putnam Lovell NBF formed a special unit to advise the wide range of different technology companies that cater to the financial services industry.
With sales now running about $300 billion a year, financial-oriented tech companies include developers of trading and risk-management software, credit-card processing firms and online brokerage houses.
Big guns
That money appears likely to keep flowing. Banking giants like Merrill Lynch MER, -1.02%, Morgan Stanley MWD, +0.29%, Citigroup C, +1.40%, Lehman Brothers LEH, +0.00% and Bear Stearns BSC, -1.44% all recently earmarked technology spending as a priority as they search for ways to deliver more efficient services at ever-lower costs.
Despite its huge stream of revenues and its global reach, the financial technology industry still is populated by hundreds of companies. Some are big fish like Sungard SDS, -2.02%, but many more of them are minnows such as InvesTools IED. That makes it a prime sector for consolidation, says Lado Gurgenidze, who heads Putnam Lovell's financial tech group in London.
"Frankly we love it," says the 33 year-old banker. "There aren't many large, global industries that are as fragmented or as rapidly evolving. There's a lot work to be done."
Consolidation is already happening. In June, Morgan Stanley agreed to acquire Barra Inc., a risk-management tech specialist, for more than $800 million. Earlier this year, Canada's Thomson (TOC) moved to buy TradeWeb for more than $380 million, and Investment Technology Group ITG, +11.11% purchased privately held Radical.
Putnam Lovell, which is part of National Bank of Canada, and FT Partners aren't the only bankers making a play in this industry. J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, +3.01% and Morgan Stanley were the advisers on Thomson's TradeWeb pact.
However, larger investment banks often land these types of deals via their general technology or financial services advisory groups and usually don't have specific practice areas devoted to financial technology.
One-off deals
"No other bulge bank has a comprehensive effort in this area," says McLaughlin of FT Partners. "They just do one-off deals here and there, mostly via their general tech bankers."
Last year's stock market rebound has sparked a clutch of new deals among financial technology firms, leaving enough work to go around.
At Putnam Lovell, Gurgenidze said he's working on five M&A deals. His colleague in New York, Steven Pierson, has more than seven in progress, he said.
In the group's latest deal, which closed earlier this month, Putnam helped Radianz, a financial extranet provider, to sell its voice services unit to WestCom, a privately held telecommunications company.
Two directors in Putnam's New York office, Scott Schubert and Colette Rabbat, now devote most of their time to the new group. In London, Gurgenidze has brought in Alexis Kalmanovitz. The two worked together in ABN Amro's technology corporate finance team before joining Putnam Lovell.
McLaughlin, an ex-Goldman Sachs banker who started FT Partners with a total of five staff, says the firm now has 10 bankers working on eight deals.
FT Partners advised on the $280 million sale of Tradescape to E-Trade ET, +0.16% in 2002 and the Charles Schwab SC.H, +0.00% acquisition of Soundview Technology Group for $350 million last November.
McLaughlin's FT Partners says it's often the case that small tech companies that are prime candidates to merge with other tech firms start out as financial specialists because banks and insurers were among their first customers. But that's one reason they may make for good merger partners.
"When these companies want to start selling to health-care providers or government agencies, combining with another technology firm already serving those markets is often the easiest way forward," McLaughlin says.
Putnam Lovell's Gurgenidze sees other reasons for consolidation. Small financial-technology companies often struggle, he says, when sales increase beyond about $30 million a year because a growing and more geographically diverse customer base requires management expertise that founders may lack.
"The landscape is littered with $15 million to $30 million companies with very interesting technology," he says. "But it's very difficult to see how most of them will grow big enough for an IPO, which leaves M&A as the only real alternative as a route to liquidity."

Do we need to protect teens from themselves, especially on social media? California looks as though it thinks the answer is yes, and it might not be a bad idea.
Two new laws moving through the system in California, SB 568 and SB 501, could give parents and teens more tools to undo errors made by minors, and generally make the internet a more forgiving place. The errors that the legislation aims to address include not only posting inadvisable comments or pictures, but also cases of minors posting personal information which makes them vulnerable to predators and otherwise land them in unsafe situations.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) already gives parents and minors aged 12 and under broad protection, but these laws are attempting to address the risks posed to the 13 -17 year old crowd.
According to an article posted by eMedia Law Insider:
The existing federal COPPA regulations provide for a similar removal process of content for children under 13 by the parents, but this law would force websites to add the process for those up to 17 and allow the request to come from the minor.
California SB 501, meanwhile, would require websites to remove personally identifiable information about minors upon the request of the minor OR the parent within 96 hours of the request.
In the case of minors, giving parents the power to have content taken down is probably overdue. That's what parents are for, among other things.
Even if both laws pass in California, and spark a national conversation or movement in this direction, there is one caveat: there is no protection from or remedy in the case of someone else reposting or otherwise sharing a minor's content, on a social media site or elsewhere on the internet. Like most of the internet, it may be that the content will live forever in some form.

Father, daughter gunned down by estranged relative 'embraced life to the absolute fullest'
For the majority of the past 12 days, Lisa Garcia has sat in a hospital room.
Her daughter, 23-year-old Hailey Reyes, is on life support. Her husband, 45-year-old Michael Garcia is dead.
Police said the two San Antonio natives were ambushed on May 12 by Michael Garcia's brother as they returned from a day of paddle-boarding in Austin with Reyes' husband, Lee, and Garcia's eldest brother, Paul.
Elijah Jared Stone, who suffered from mental illness and was estranged from the family, then fatally shot himself.
"I just want him back," Lisa Garcia said. "I want to rewind time. I just want to hold his hand one more time. I'd never let go. And I want my daughter to get up. I just want her to open her eyes."
READ ALSO: Family releases detailed account of morning mother of 3 was gunned down by estranged husband
Michael Garcia and Reyes, a licensed specialist in school psychology for Comal ISD, were close and "embraced life to the absolute fullest," Garcia said. Photos posted to social media show them coaching a young girls soccer team, paddle-boarding with family and celebrating after a mud run in San Antonio. Friends and family members said they were both athletic, generous and spontaneous, always bringing a sense of levity and joy to their surroundings.
"Her family was always supporting her, and she did the same for others," said Teegan Luckemeyer, a former teammate of Reyes' on the women's soccer team at Our Lady of the Lake University, where Reyes earned her bachelor's degree in psychology. "She was always giving love, whether you deserved it or not."
Reyes was a dedicated student who never took a summer break throughout college, her mom said. She was set to receive her master's degree in psychology from Texas State University in December.
She was also a passionate advocate for gun control reform who believed those with mental illness, like her uncle, who family said was once institutionalized, should not possess firearms. Read more about how her mother wants to continue that legacy on our subscriber site, ExpressNews.com.
Michael Garcia was a "phenomenal, very present, very active" father who took a "front row seat to his girls' lives," Lisa Garcia said. He never missed Reyes' soccer games, and he always took an interest in his daughters' hobbies. When their younger daughter started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he started training with her. And when she switched over to wrestling, so did he.
Police said the day of the shooting the group returning to Paul's Round Rock home from Austin became separated in traffic and Garcia and Reyes arrived first.
As they stepped out of the vehicle, Elijah Stone, Michael and Paul's middle brother approached and started shooting. Garcia was killed, and Reyes suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Stone brought the violent reunion to a close when he turned the gun on himself.
Lee and Paul arrived moments later.
RELATED: Details emerge in murder-suicide involving psychologist at upscale apartment complex near downtown
They called 911, but by the time authorities arrived there was little they could do. Michael Garcia and Stone were pronounced dead at the scene and paramedics rushed Hailey Reyes to a nearby hospital, where she was placed on life support.
Cedar Park police have released few details on the investigation into the shooting. But Alicia Inns, a spokeswoman for the Cedar Park Police Department, said investigators believe Stone, an Austin native who had no criminal history, had been waiting outside the home, in the 700 block of Dogwood Trail, to ambush the family. Police declined to comment on what type of firearm was used in the shooting or how Stone came to acquire it.
"This is something that really shocked not only the family, but the community," Inns said. "The biggest question mark in this case is 'Why?'"
Reyes has been on life support for 12 days.
But Lisa Garcia and her family remain hopeful for a miracle.
"My God is still on the throne, and He can do infinitely more than we can even think," she said. "My faith and trust lies in Jesus Christ. He is my counselor, and He is my source of strength. So my hope lies in him."

Fireworks Photography in Albuquerque 2019
For the first 4th of July in a long time I had my camera out on a tripod using bulb mode and an index card to capture multiple fireworks burst in one exposure. Setup in a wide open field at Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico I had a clear view with little wind to blow smoke into the frame, but on the other hand not much of a foreground to set the fireworks in. My step-by-step guide for making fireworks photos goes into even more detail about how and why I like to photograph fireworks. Still, I was pleased with the images I was able to make even from a good distance away.Read More

photogaphy and digital SLR cameras?
They are now grouped again in my new web site YLovePhoto.com.
Nevertheless, you can get back to the photo homepage of Roumazeilles.net
For a few years I've been taking snapshots and I like using a camera.
Long owner of a nice Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 9xi with a 28-105mm zoom, a second-hand Minolta 200mm Apo G and Sigma 400mm tele-lenses, I have added a Konica-Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 7D Digital Single Lens Reflex (D-SLR). These pages are the results of using this fine equipment plus a few older photos I got out of the previous Minolta cameras I used (an SRT-100x and an XD-7, that were stolen from me a few years ago). They've been produced with the help of the HP PhotoSmart scanner (2400 dpi on negatives and slides) or a Minolta QuickScan 35 plus scanner. Recently, they came directly from the Maxxum 7D, of course.

[Q] My horse has recently been diagnosed with kissing
spine, but the vets say she can still jump and do dressage if maintained well.
Do you have any tips for recommended care or exercises?
Asked anonymously
[A] I completely agree with your veterinarian! In
general, most horses can perform well with kissing spine, even at elite levels.
Most important is to focus on good core stability for your horse, since the
core muscles stabilise dynamic movement of the thorax (the area of the kissing
spine). Unstable movement can lead to pain!
Here are some tips for you:
- You can train the
core muscles from the ground. Activate Your
Horse's Core by Narelle Stubbs and Hilary Clayton is a book with many
well-explained and effective unmounted core exercises. Make sure to repeat the
exercises five times each, five times a week for a duration of at least five
- Alternate between
ridden and unridden training. Keep the focus on the core stability. In ridden
work this is done by making small transitions. A lower head-neck position can
help to lengthen the topline. However, the horse is not allowed to lean on the
forehand, so keep an active hind leg. Remember that the walk and canter are the
most mobilising gaits for the spine. In the beginning, it might be more
comfortable to have a forward seat in canter. When unridden, you can
effectively train your horse's core muscles with lunging, long-reining and
treadmill exercises (water treadmill or dry treadmill with incline). The
Equiband™ is a system that can be used for core muscle activation in both
ridden and unridden work.
- Pole work is very
useful for stretching the topline and training the core muscles. However, some
horses tend to hollow their backs while trotting over poles. When this is the
case, start with only one pole in walk and slowly build up to more poles in
more gaits. When unridden, you can use side reins, but it is extremely
important to keep the side reins long enough for the horse to see the poles.
- A well-fitted saddle
is of very high importance. When in doubt, only train your horse unridden until
the saddle fitter corrects the saddle. Make sure the saddle fitter comes regularly,
since horses can change in size due to muscle development and weight gain.
During rehabilitation, it is wise to have the saddle checked at least every six
to eight weeks.
- Equine
physiotherapists and chiropractors have a big impact on mobilising the spine,
reducing pain and solving compensations.
- Regular massage can
help with tense muscles in the area of the kissing spine.
Good luck to you and your horse in becoming happy and
healthy athletes!

Morgan Lashley, veterinarian and chiropractor specialised in revalidation

A New York-based Korean-American playwright was recently criticized in the US for calling off the $15,000 stage production "Jesus in India" because he couldn't see Caucasians (all-white) actors playing the Indian characters. The Clarion University of Pennsylvania reportedly obliged him by cancelling the play.
As the Student actors and stage crew arrived for one of the final rehearsals before the Nov. 18th, opening - only to learn the show getting cancelled, the last minute.
The US playwright Suh had objections to the Caucasians playing the three of the five characters, in the stage production, which were Indians - the characters of Gopal, Sushil and Mahari. "I was uncomfortable with any notion that I supported Caucasians portraying Indian characters in my play", said the US playwright. The cancellation of the play evoked strong criticism of him, throughout the US.

Our people
Building capability
Developed an Individual Performance Plan.
Performance review completed in the past six months.
Performance Partnership Program
DoT's Performance Partnership Program (PPP) provides a framework for all employees and people managers to have ongoing discussions about performance objectives, measures and learning, and development needs to ensure they are set up for success.
DoT's People and Organisational Development (POD) business unit continued to build on the program's success, providing tailored solutions to optimise employee performance and potential.
In 2017-18, DoT focused on building the capability of managers and employees to have crucial conversations, participate in coaching conversations and provide effective feedback.
As a result of the PPP, at 30 June 2018:
- 99 per cent of DoT employees had a performance review in the past six months;
- 100 per cent of DoT employees had a current Individual Performance Plan;
- 100 per cent of DoT employees had a current Individual Learning and Development Plan; and
- 99 per cent of DoT employees who completed a performance review discussion were assessed as "meeting expectations".
People Managers Program
DoT continued to deliver its highly effective People Managers Program to empower managers to effectively lead and manage their people to support the achievement of DoT's strategic objectives.
Now in its fifth year, this engaging and practical program, provides participants with the opportunity to obtain a nationally accredited Certificate IV in Leadership and Management.
In 2017-18, 52 leaders and emerging leaders completed the program and a further 23 commenced.
Certificate IV for Compliance Officers Program
DoT continued to deliver its Certificate IV for Compliance Officers Program to ensure all compliance officers have the necessary skills and capability to succeed in their compliance and community education roles.
This investment in people demonstrates DoT's commitment to career development and highlights the importance DoT places on delivering its service to the community.
Through the 12-month program, officers gain a nationally accredited qualification - Certificate IV in Government (Investigations). In 2017, 55 officers successfully completed the program and a further 23 commenced in 2018.
Creating a values driven organisation
Cultural Development Strategy
DoT continued to implement Stage 2 of its Cultural Development Strategy to embed a customer experience culture. This enabled its great people to further collaborate, innovate and lead to deliver DoT's Vision to provide the best integrated and intelligent transport services and solutions for the Western Australian community.
Cross-functional cultural development teams met to work on projects and initiatives to build the desired culture, facilitating Executive alignment on 'what does Customer Experience mean for Transport'. This defined the strategy of partnering with Executives to embed a culture of customer experience that delivers outcomes in line with DoT's vision.
Diversity Plan 2016-2020
DoT recognises that a diverse and inclusive workforce helps us understand the needs of our diverse community as we strive to deliver the best transport services and solutions.
DoT's Workforce Diversity Plan 2016-2020 aims to further improve outcomes for employees from diverse groups. The Plan outlines initiatives to help raise awareness of the benefits of a diverse workforce and provide opportunities to diversity groups, specifically in relation to the employment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability and women in leadership.
The following was achieved in 2017-18 to support the implementation of the plan:
- All DoT employees were encouraged to participate in significant events such as National Reconciliation Week, Disability Awareness Week, Harmony Week, NAIDOC and International Women's Day.
- A disability awareness information session was provided to DoT employees. Facilitated by participants of Leadership WA program 'Leadability', the session aimed to build greater awareness and understanding of challenges people with disability can face when accessing and participating in the workplace.
- DoT continued to successfully participate in the Public Sector Commission Aboriginal Traineeship Program, welcoming two trainees anticipated to successfully complete their Certificate III in Government (Administration) by September 2018. Two trainees from the 2016-17 program intake are continuing their careers with DoT.
- DoT's continuing partnership with the Autism Academy and Australian Computer Society Foundation saw an intern continue their career with DoT. Supporting the intern program enables DoT to showcase the unique abilities people with disability bring to the workplace.
- Mandatory cultural awareness training continues to be part of the DoT induction and onboarding program, to help employees work more effectively with colleagues and customers from diverse backgrounds.
- Online discrimination and harassment training was made mandatory and included in the DoT induction and onboarding program. This training is to ensure all employees and managers are aware of their obligations in the prevention of and response to behaviour of this kind.
Employee Perception Survey
To continue to improve DoT's culture and employee engagement, the results of the Public Sector Employee Perception Survey informed four specific priority areas for the whole of DoT:
- Appropriate workplace behaviour;
- Fair recruitment and promotion;
- Effective people management; and
- Effective change management.
A comprehensive suite of strategies including improvements to communication, processes and training continue to be implemented and evaluated to address these priority areas.
Leave management strategy
DoT adopted a leave liability reduction strategy in January 2016 in response to the challenge of achieving the Treasury Cap for leave liability set in 2013 of $29.2 million. The strategy was developed due to the increase in DoT's leave liability to $34 million in mid-2015.
One of the key components of the strategy was to amend DoT's Leave Management Policy and Procedure for all employees by determining they must:
- Not exceed 150 hours of annual leave balance at any time; and
- Clear their long service leave balance within three years of being credited.
The strategy incorporated two key elements:
- To create a culture where employees planned and cleared their leave as they earned it; and
- Executive leaders led by example by reducing their own excessive leave.
Executive leaders were required to drive the cultural shift with their direct reports to ensure employees planned and cleared leave. Leave planning discussions are now included in the six-monthly formal performance review.
To assist executive leaders drive this cultural shift, monthly reports were and still are tabled at each Corporate Executive Meeting. Business unit monthly reports are also provided to each Executive to assist them with accountability and responsibility to manage their people in accordance with the Policy and DoT Corporate Executive endorsed strategy.
The strategy achieved the outcome in July 2017 when DoT fell below the Cap for the first time, achieving a liability of $28.6 million. The strategy continues to be effective with the liability at 30 June 2018 at $26.6 million.
DoT's myTime - a cloud-based system allowing staff to record their time and attendance information and leave and payroll records - continued to assist with leave management monitoring.
The effects of the DoT Leave Management Culture include good financial management, and greater workplace productivity, wellbeing and safety.

Peer Support Program
DoT continued to deliver its Peer Support Program as part of its commitment to employee wellbeing.
Through the cost-effective program, a network of DoT employees, known as Peer Support Officers, volunteer to provide a brief point of contact for colleagues who require help with personal or work-related issues.
Peer Support Officers assist colleagues to resolve issues by helping them explore available options and feel empowered to act in a manner that is aligned with DoT's values-driven culture.
Additional members joined the program in 2018 and all Peer Support Officers received formal training to ensure they felt capable and confident performing their important role and valued for their contribution.
Radar Awards
DoT's reward and recognition program, the Radar Awards, continued to build a high performing, values-driven workforce by formally recognising individuals and teams who live the DoT values of:
- Clear Direction;
- Fresh Thinking;
- Excellent Service; and
- Great People.
Following improvements to the program in 2016-17 there continues to be very high participation. During 2017-18 more than 60 nominations were received from employees recognising their peers for outstanding achievements. Across four rounds, 65 nominations were received.

July 2016 Kruger National Park Regional Section Ranger,
Rodney Landela and Veterinary Techinician Kenneth Motshotso were arrested by their own KNP field rangers (who report to Rodney) after they had followed up on gunshots they had heard while patrolling.
The two men were found with blood stained shoes, two rhino horns and a rifle.
The field rangers tracked where the two men had fled from and they found the carcass of one white rhino.
Their trial date will begin on 9 June 2017 in the Skukuza regional court.
The defence team is very well funded (of course), so this will give the state a good amount of time to prepare for this very important case as there are many different factors to investigate.
There is very limited information on this case but hopefully we will be hearing a lot more about it from this point on.
As this case has directly affected us, we will do our very best to keep bringing it to the publics attention so that these men will be made examples of and imprisoned for a very long time.

Anna and PJ got married on a lovely day in that Arizona season between spring and summer (you know the one, where it can be cold one day, hot the next and gorgeous the day after that) at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix.
For their wedding day candy buffet they chose candies that complimented their colors, but were also some of their favorite candies. Guests enjoyed strawberry puffs, Brach's nuggat candies, pina colada Jelly Bellies, Big Hunk candy bars, strawberry Tootsie Frootsies and pink swirl lollipops. Guest treat containers were pretty in pink and sparkling silver organza bags with custom tags designed just for our sweet couple.

Opportunities to Serve Far
Nicaragua Partnership with CIEETS
The St. Peter's Mission Committee began exploring the idea of having an international partner in mission. We sent our first small delegation to Managua in 2009 and have traveled there annually ever since. We now have a formal partnership with CIEETS which stands for, The Interchurch Center of Theological and Social Studies. Rather than undertaking the traditional mission work of immediately stepping in with structural improvement projects, this partnership is being developed in accordance with the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s approach of doing mission in partnership with those whom we seek to support in the spirit of mutuality and respect, spending time learning about each other's culture and sharing our faith journeys. Visit the CIEETS website for more in-depth information. Please contact Jim Donahue below for the 2019 schedule for our Skype Bible Study with our CIEETS partners.

Building Homes in Mexico with Amor Ministries
St. Peter's has two opportunities to build houses in Mexico for people in need. Our annual Easter Project (EP) takes place during Spring Break when St. Peter's youth and staff head to Mexico with Amor Ministries to build houses. We also offer an adult trip to the same area in collaboration with Amor Ministries. It is difficult to express the growth of the Tijuana area and the fact that the same needs still exist today as did years ago. We are so grateful to have been sent by this church to be representatives of Christ to people who pray, hope and desire something better for themselves.

There were quite a few steamship lines crossing the Atlantic in the 19th century.
Signals of the Steamers Sailing between North- America and Europe. aug 1870
WE find the following interesting facts on this subject in one of our German contemporaries:
CUNARD LINE—Two rockets and a blue light.
INMAN LINE—A blue light at the bow, a red one in the centre, a blue light at the stern, and two rockets. The lights all burn at the same time.
GUYON LINE—Blue lights at tile bow, centre, and the stern, all burning simultaneously
NATIONAL LINE—A blue light, a rocket, and a red light
ANCHOR LINE—Alternately red and white lights.
MONTREAL OCEAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY (PORTLAND LINE.)—White and red rockets following each other.
FRENCH LINE—A blue light at the bow, a white one amidship, and a red one at the stern, all burning simultaneously.
NORTH-GERMAN LLOYD (BREMEN.)—A blue light at the bow, and one at the stern, and two rockets.
HAMBURG-AMERICAN PACKET LINE—A roman light, a rocket, and again a roman light, following each other at an interval of about three minutes.
NEW-YORK AND LONDON LINE—A rocket, a blue light, and again a rocket. RUDGERS LINe—A blue and a red light in the centre, both burning simultaneously.
In the day-time these steamers may be recognized by the color of their smoke-stacks. These are painted respectively: Red, with black top; black, with a white stripe and black top; black, with a red stripe and a small black top; white, with black top ; entirely black black alternating with white; red and white stripes amid a black top; red with black top; black; black; white; finally, those of the Rudgers steamers are black, and the paddle-boxes are all painted white.

Pima County, Ariz., makes second equipment order for 2-phase municipal odor control project
Pima County, Arizona, has placed a second order with Met-Pro Corp. for a two-phase project aimed at odor control.
HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., April 20, 2001 — William L. Kacin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation , announced today that the Company's Duall Division has received a second order from Pima County, Arizona for a two phase project at the INA Road Wastewater Treatment Plant. The value of this order is in excess of $400,000 and brings total orders for Duall for this project to more than $840,000.

The size of these orders demonstrates Duall's significant presence in the municipal odor control market. A steady level of customer interest and quotation activity for similar applications emphasizes Duall's position as a leader in the field and provides encouragement for the possibility of future orders.

Whakataukī - Proverbs - Kōrero Māori. Māori proverbs called 'whakataukī', 'whakatauākī' or 'pepeha' are sayings that reflect the thoughts, values and advice of past generations.
They are usually very succinct and often use metaphor to convey key messages. A short whakataukī will often be so accurate in capturing a thought or moment, there will be little need for any other words to explain it further. Proverbs are important to the revival of Māori language – they carry flair, imagery and metaphor embodying the uniqueness of the language. Māori proverbs comment on many aspects of Māori culture including history, religious life, conduct, ethics, land, warfare, love, marriage, and death. Some sayings refer to cultural practices or attributes that have since changed or no longer exist. Māori proverbs are featured in the formal speeches heard on the marae even today. Some tribes and sub tribes have particular sayings that relate specifically to their whakapapa (geneology) links, history, attributes or practices. Proverbs with their English Translation - Whakatauki. Whakataukī (proverbs) play a large role within Maori culture.
They are used as a reference point in speeches and also as guidelines spoken to others day by day. It is a poetic form of the Maori language often merging historical events, or holistic perspectives with underlying messages which are extremely influential in Maori society. Proverbs are very fun to learn and loaded with advantages within language learning.
They can be interpreted as you see fit, and as your Maori improves try translating them to dive deeper in their meanings. There are countless proverbs and it will be very useful for you to remember as much as you can. Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain This whakatauki is about aiming high or for what is truly valuable, but it's real message is to be persistent and don't let obstacles stop you from reaching your goal. Proverbs with their English Translation - Whakatauki.

Lovely old retro cinema that has always has an interval within the programme. Ideal for adults and young children who need a little break and an ice-cream or drink!
What a very pleasant surprise this place was. The museum is run by the founders son. To be honest it is a bit like a collector showing off his collection and some of the presentation lacks the quality of bigger museums with bigger budgets. But with Oliver and Hardy movies constantly playing on a big cinema screen it was a great place to spend an hour or two. Small cafe means you can grab a drink, sit and watch a couple of short movies in original cinema chairs and then read some history and see the artefacts. I'm not a L&H anorak but I had a good morning and left with a smile.

One of my favorite poems that contains within it the power we all must harness, in days of storm and confusion. Though written for a man, the timeless truths are ones to be applied by all on their journey in this life we live–day by day and breath by breath. I hope it becomes a treasured poem for you as well.
–Trina Noelle
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!
— Rudyard Kipling, 1895. Published in Rewards and Fairies, 1910

You might be sitting inside your office right now dreaming about the day you'll be able to retire. There are balloons, ice cream cakes, marching bands, etc. You are going out with a bang.
But it might be hard to beat Deputy Tony Scherb. He didn't need anything fancy to celebrate his retirement. All he needed was a song with a funky beat and a private space to perform his moves.
You can watch him dance to Silento's massive hit 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)' in the video below. A few of his colleagues even get in on the action.
According to the El Paso County Sheriff's office, Scherb announced his retirement after a respectful 29 year career with the department. 15 of those years were spent in the Traffic Unit.
The video has over 4 million views in total, and once the Sheriff's Office noticed it was going viral, they released this message, "We knew that Deputy Scherb would leave behind a legacy hard to forget… but this, is amazing!"
It truly is. This smile will stay on my face all day. Or at least until someone pisses me off.

Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone sent off after second ball thrown on pitch
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was sent to the stands during his side's 1-0 La Liga win at home to Malaga on Saturday evening after a ball was thrown onto the pitch from near the home dugout at the Estadio Vicente Calderon.
The game was still scoreless coming up to half-time, with Malaga looking to counter-attack, but play was stopped by referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz after a second ball entered the playing surface.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible, but the referee was seen speaking to Simeone as the teams left the pitch at the break, and when the game restarted the Colchoneros coach was seated in the stands.
La Liga rules state that the head coach is responsible for the behaviour of the entire bench.
Asked about the incident at his postmatch news conference, Simeone said: "It's clear that the referee took the correct decision, following the rules. He did what he had to do, sending off the coach. It was a kid who was beside us, but that does not change anything."
Atletico won the match when substitute Angel Correa netted from 20 yards on 62 minutes, which keeps them firmly in the title race as they prepare for the final three games of the season.
Asked how a potential touchline suspension would affect the team, Simeone remained positive about his situation, saying his position in the stands inspired his decision to send Correa on from the bench.
"You see things different from higher up," Simeone said. "I was right to think about Correa, I saw that well. I hope it [any potential suspension] will not be for too many weeks."
He stressed that the team must keep their feet on the ground if they are to reclaim the Primera Division title.
"We go from game to game, in the most committed way, and focus on not looking too far ahead," he said. "We will have some big moments in these three weeks."
