Heritage and Heart: Regina Carter and Mavis Staples at Symphony Center, 4/18
The beautifully adorned Symphony Center found a packed house on Friday evening for a double bill of two great artists, Southern-folk violinist Regina Carter, and soul legend, Mavis Staples. The intimate venue and superb acoustics made it clear that this was an evening of music that would be unforgettable and irreplaceable.
Regina Carter emerged first, flanked by an accompaniment of accordion, guitar, an upright bass, and drums. She donned a bright outfit, and walked onstage completely barefoot. Regina Carter's set was focused on heritage through and through, in a beautiful way. After her first song, which contained a slightly fuzzy but extremely authentic recording from an old Southern tune, Carter delved into the methods she utilized to track her family ancestry. From anecdotes regarding her grandfather's time as a coal miner in Alabama, to divulging stories of growing up with several siblings, to sharing snapshots of old Southern folk tunes preserved in their original recorded setting, Carter was able to not only present us with examples of her expertly perfected musical craft, however, she was also able to further impact us with the connection to her rich heritage.
My favorite tunes she played included "Shoo-Rye" a song that interpreted a children's game that she played way back when, but also converted into deeper meaning regarding taking chances and the effects of risk. "See See Rider" was another outstanding tune, which explored the darker side of blues music and near the end morphed into a blues-jazz hybrid as the sound grew more frenetic and eccentric with heavy jazz backing from the bass and drums. Many of the songs came from her most recent album, Southern Comfort.
"We're all from the South of somewhere," Carter stated, positively beaming onstage as she got to share her personal history with the crowd. Her encore brought us to hear a Baptist hymn, "I'm Going Home on the Morning Train," which was both exquisitely beautiful, yet also possessed a twinge of sadness. Carter was able to truly showcase her art form by presenting us with a well-rounded set of intricate, quick-paced numbers while also showcasing more emotional ballads. The personal connection to her heritage really formed the set as cohesive and unique, as she shared so much with us that truly enhanced the music that followed.
When Mavis Staples emerged, the mood onstage swiftly changed, but not in a bad way whatsoever. While Regina Carter's set retained an atmosphere of watchful reverence, Mavis Staples made it clear that she wanted her set to be full of positive vibes, an outspoken discussion between many songs, and a more lively atmosphere. The stage lighting immediately changed to become more zany and bold. Staples emerged positively glowing, ambling across the stage with a walking cane, assisted by a gentleman to her perch in the center of the stage. Staples, also joined by a full band, began with "For What It's Worth," originally performed by Buffalo Springfield. The song immediately transformed into a soul-filled landscape, immediately converting it from its original form.
Staples immediately told us all that she wanted this set to be filled with happiness, joy, inspiration, and positive vibrations. At 74 years old, she is truly rocking and full of just as much energy and positivity as she was during her days spent with legendary family outfit, The Staple Singers. It is clear that she extracts joy from all of her experiences, rather than searching for joy itself - she finds it everywhere and truly wants to share that with her audience. Indeed, her set brought about all of the qualities she was hoping for, and more.
"Can You Get To That," followed by "I Like The Things About Me," brought us the newer material from Staples, off album One True Vine, produced by another Chicago legend, Jeff Tweedy. Laden with wisdom, her songs transmit personal messages, including feeling comfortable in your own skin, and enjoying the unique gifts you possess. She continued the show with a smooth version of "Do It Again," originally by the Staple Singers. It was clear that Staples was having the absolute best time onstage, and truly loving every moment. The song, so many years later after its original production, sounded just as crystal clear and funky as the first version.
"You Are Not Alone" was next, off of her 2010 album titled with the same name. Arguably her most popular song, the ballad was beautiful in the Symphony Center's gilded setting. The emotions conveyed within the ballad presents another message of truth that easily resonated with the audience. The next songs included a rocking cover of "The Weight" by The Band, a song perfect for her musical palate.
As the set moved forward, Mavis Staples became more and more talkative with the audience. She was completely at ease and comfortable in front of a large crowd, so much so that it seemed as if she had known us for a long time and we were all simply reuniting. She told us of her double knee replacement surgery that had recently occurred, and that Satan had been the culprit behind the pain. She told Satan, "Get back, I'm going to the Symphony Center!" as she chuckled and the crowd indulged in her hilarity.
Ending the show prior to her encore with "I'll Take You There," she reveled in the fact that the Staple Singers had been making music together for 64 years, a daring feat. Ending with "We Shall Not Be Moved," the set reigned as inspiring and glorious, proving Staples as a true legend. It's exciting to see where she will take her music next, as it has only matured and grown over the past several decades. Carter and Staples were able to truly show us their unique craft on Friday evening, including an emphasis on heritage, and an emphasis on heart, when it comes to creating beautiful music.


text: Today is a day off, which I do appreciate. However, when I am at work, it is a lot of fun! I am working on a feature film at the moment, and the pace is hectic. Moving at light speed, setting things up for a shot before the sun goes away, making sure not to run over anyone in the process... it's really cool. And when there are 100 of your co-workers all blasting around the set the same way - it's really something to see. Chatting with my crew yesterday, we all agreed it is just not in our nature to stand around or be lazy at work. Drives us nuts! I'd much rather be under the gun doing a project. There is a small minority in the industry who feel that slowing down will make you more money. I respectfully disagree - you make more money by doing a great job quickly and safely, which will then motivate people to hire you to do that great job for them again. It's not just a paycheck, it's a labor of love. How about you - is your job a labor of love as well? If not, why not? You will get so much more out of life doing what you are passionate about. Give it a try!

Thanks, Marisa
Juice pouches. Eureka!
Yes, they're so thick and sturdy and I bet those silvery freezerbags you can get at the supermarket are the same material. I have a policy of using only discarded materials, but I think I can get my hands on some of (whatever that is).
I'm too lazy to pull apart the wallet I made last year from 2 mylar cookie bags (Matt's REAL oatmeal raisin), but I can tell you it involves some slot and tab action.
Besides, there are SO many wallet styles. How many creditcard pockets do you want? how many folds? do you like a pocket on the outside for your DL or LIBcard?
Also, having made two mylar wallets I can say that it's sturdier when it's all one piece. Juice pouches are barely big enuf for a credit card holder, or do they come in big sizes now? (12/30/2004)

Um....I don't know how to make those, but you can find how to make a juice bag tote at:

This is a re-submission of a proposal to gain an understanding about the nature of the hyper-fucosylation of glycoproteins associated with primary human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Compared to healthy individuals, the circulation of people with HCC contains an abundance of glycoproteins with fucosylation at their N-glycan cores. Little is known about why this modification is so elevated, if it relates to protein function and/or plays a role in disease. There is even uncertainty about whether or not it is the cancer cells that are producing the fucosylated glycoforms. This modified application will systematically determine which cells are producing three """"""""sentinel"""""""" hyper-fucosylated glycoproteins, as well as the functional consequences of fucosylation, in comparative studies with fucosylated and unfucosylated glycoforms. The proteins hemopexin, kininogen and GP73, each determined to correlate in the fucosylated glycoform with HCC, are chosen to represent different categories. In doing this, the important hypothesis that fucosylation plays a role in directing the sorting of hepatocytes glycoproteins will also be tested. The results of this work are thus intended to answer the fundamental question as to why fucosylation seems to be a common feature in HCC and help in developing early detection and possibly therapeutic interventions.
By proteins detected in the blood of people with a diagnosis of liver cancer contain the sugar, fucose. Understanding why will help in the development of new diagnostic methods, as well as provide clues for development of new therapies.

- Nayrman's laugh when he is cracking up is incredibly ominous, specially in the Final Fantasy 6 and Sonic Adventure playthroughs.
- In Part 18 of the RAWS for Arkham Asylum, Ryan used one of Joker's themes from the Animated Series as filler Audio that worked well... maybe a little too well for its own good without their commentary... At least until Adam West kills the mood.
- Lost Impact's... Impact on Johnny can be VERY unsettling considering up until that point, Johnny wasn't NEARLY as vocal and hate filled as he was at this point of Shadow the Hedgehog. Beware the Nice Ones INDEED...
Ryan: So how are we going to keep this rage up for four more parts?Johnny: I will find EVERY excuse I can!
- But it's nothing compared to the rage Sonic Genesis gave him.
- Chalk it up to crappy quality or whatever... but this particular image of Ryan from Momocon 2013 is a bit... ...offsetting to be honest.
- Possibly nothing could sound scarier than puppet master Waluigi, the thumbnail for part 13 of Mario Party 3 (now the page image), the fact he literally has puppets of Daisy,Yoshi, and Luigi (in manic depressed form no less) doesn't help. Thank you, Johnny!
- Ryan gets VERY unsettlingly angry at Johnny for throwing him off of the roller in Part 22 of Super Mario 3D World.
- Johnny's angry outburst in part 17 of the Mario Party 3 playthrough after Waluigi wins by going in circlesJohnny: YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH! IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY! ANARCHY DOESN'T WIIIIINN!!!
- Lewis' continuous battle with the gnome menace! while thought to be a joke, the chance that it could be real is a very scary thought...
- In the Five Nights At Freddy's live playthrough, one of the nights has Ryan actually run out of electricity. The game's events itself are plenty frightening (the doors open, the lights go out, the laptop turns off, and Freddy can be heard on the way), but it's even more unsettling to hear the other commenters saying in hushed voices how there's nothing to do but play possum and pray that Ryan can reach morning before Freddy arrives. The atmosphere honestly feels like they're trying to hide from something in real life. It makes the reveal that Ryan only just managed to make it to the morning before dying that much better.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Having lost six consecutive games at AT&T Park to the rival San Francisco Giants, the Los Angeles Dodgers treated the Tuesday matchup with much more importance than that average April duel between two sub-.500 teams.
How important was it? When the first Giants batter of the game, Hunter Pence, hit a grounder toward the middle of the diamond, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw sprawled out like an NHL goalie trying to stop a shot in the Stanley Cup finals.
The result was a bruised calf, but also the first of 21 outs Kershaw recorded while limiting the Giants to one run over seven innings in a 2-1 victory.
"I would do it again to get an out," Kershaw said after he had teamed with a pair of relievers on an eight-hitter.
Yasiel Puig and Adrian Gonzalez had RBIs in a two-run fourth inning that provided all the offense the Dodgers pitchers needed to deliver a second win in five games on the club's current road trip.
"I always want to win," Kershaw said while labeling his calf injury nothing more than an annoyance. "It feels good to get a win. We've been struggling here. That's no secret."
Kershaw (4-1) got the better of Giants lefty Ty Blach (0-1), who had pitched the Giants to a 3-0 win over the Dodgers ace last October.
"Ty did a really nice job for his first start (of the year)," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Kept us in the game against a pretty tough pitcher and gave us a chance to win the game. Just a nice effort."
In running his career record against the Giants to 19-8, Kershaw allowed six hits and one walk. He struck out seven. He was removed from the game after throwing 90 pitches.
"Courageous effort," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "He knew what this game meant for us. This was a must-win for us. I can't say enough."
Right-hander Pedro Baez retired the only two Giants he faced to start the eighth inning before Kenley Jansen came on and surrendered back-to-back singles to Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford.
Crawford strained his right groin rounding first base on his hit and had to be removed for a pinch runner.
With runners at first and third, Jansen struck out pinch hitter Brandon Belt on a full count to preserve the 2-1 lead.
Jansen then pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his fifth save.
Justin Turner had two singles for the Dodgers (10-11), who were held to seven hits by five Giants pitchers.
Posey had two hits for the Giants (7-14), who had won Monday's first game of the series by the same 2-1 count.
The Dodgers ended a 14-inning scoreless streak against Blach when a leadoff walk to Corey Seager and successive singles by Turner and Puig produced a run that tied the game 1-1 in the fourth.
Turner put the Dodgers ahead for good when he raced home from third as Posey, playing first base, threw to second on Gonzalez's grounder.
After forcing out Puig at second, Giants shortstop Crawford threw to the plate, but Turner slid in safely as a low throw eluded catcher Nick Hundley.
"(Buster) did the right thing," the Giants' Bochy said of the throw to second to start the play. "It was almost very well executed, but the throw (by Crawford to the plate) was a little low. That's a tough play for a catcher. If he would have picked it or if the throw was on the money, I think we would have had Turner."
Blach was pulled after five innings, having allowed two runs and four hits. He walked one and struck out two.
The Giants scored first in the bottom of the second after a double by Blach, who collected two hits in his start against Kershaw last season.
Blach advanced to third on an infield hit by Pence, and he scored on Posey's two-out single.
NOTES: The Dodgers promoted one of their top prospects, INF/OF Cody Bellinger, from Triple-A Oklahoma City before the game and started him in left field. The 21-year-old got his first major league hit and finished 1-for-3 with a walk. ... Giants INF Christian Arroyo, called up Monday, also recorded his first big-league hit, a first-inning single. ... To make room for Bellinger on the active roster, the Dodgers demoted OF Brett Eibner to Triple-A for the second time in three days. The club designated minor league pitcher RHP Joe Gunkel for assignment in order to add Bellinger to the 40-man roster. ... The Dodgers will have to do further body-shuffling Thursday when they plan to promote LHP Julio Urias from Triple-A to start the series finale. ... Further examination of Giants LHP Madison Bumgarner's injured left shoulder revealed a separation. His recovery time is now projected to be two months. ... Giants RHP Matt Cain underwent an MRI on the slightly strained right hamstring that forced him out of Monday's series opener after five innings. It revealed no damage, and Cain is expected to make his next start -- Saturday against San Diego -- as scheduled.

Sexy Sports Illustrated Hijacks #MeToo: Thumbs Down on the Result/
Six years I reported on sports such as baseball and basketball at Sports Illustrated. Those six years the SI Swimsuit issue was published in mid-February. Still is. Gotta snap the men out of their winter doldrums. No more NFL where they can watch men crack heads, in the week after the Super Bowl the nearly naked women issue appears. Well, a man can go ice fishing for so many winter weeks. Heck, it's what men want, its sales and focus groups tell them – time to serve up gorgeous women wearing less and less of bathing suits as each year goes by.
This year, at least, in one section, they've dispensed with bathing suits altogether.
So along with nudity, Sports Illustrated is parading the fact that for first time ever both bosses in charge of this issue are women – the editor and the photographer, also a first.
By the way they are marketing this year's issue, you'd think #MeToo linked arms with a different kind of female empowerment. All the while the editor is assuring men that no matter what's up with women they can count on SI to serve up "sexy" images.
So how are the 2018 reviews?
"Spectacularly Silly" – The New Yorker
"Ridiculous?" – Fashion
"the first shoot in which 'models were as much participants as objects' – Vanity Fair
The opening words of Vanity Fair's dive into this 2018 issue:
Let's pause to consider the word "objects." Really? SI sees its models as much as objects as participants? Sounds about right. Can we agree that the women are objectified. I know some argue that being nude or nearly nude in these magazine spreads so men can ogle their bodies is an act of empowerment. I'm not in that camp; one reason I'm not is how often some of the same male sports fans objectify women who broadcast and write sports – undressing them on Twitter et al. with descriptions and threats that strip them of their humanity.
In trying to "mirror" the #MeToo movement on their model's bodies, SI explained its mission this way; they are "allowing women to exist in the world without being harassed or judged regardless of how they like to present themselves." Yet, as editor MJ Day assured its predominantly male audience for this annual post-Super Bowl issue, this issue is "always going to be sexy, no matter what is happening."
Again, a word check: "Allowing" this to happen? Perhaps, a wiser word choice would be "enabling" if this is such an empowering act.
Perhaps all of this explain why on the brink of Sports Illustrated's sale to Meredith, Time Inc. announced the launch of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Enterprises. Here's how New York Post greeted with this news:
Sports Illustrated is going into the modeling business
Meet SI's 2018 Swimsuit Calendar. Stay tuned for more as the year moves on. My hunch is that this is one part of SI's "editorial" content that won't be tampered with by Meredith.

Last month students moving out of Portland State University residence halls donated more than 23,000 pounds of used clothing, household goods, furniture, and nonperishable food to local charities and the PSU community.
The annual donation drive, Chuck-it for Charity, began in 2005 and is jointly led by the Campus Sustainability Office and Housing and Residence Life. This event saw record numbers of donations with over 3,000 pounds more than last year's totals.
"This year we introduced new yellow donation bins, new signage, and added additional donation sites across campus," said Jenny McNamara, director of the Campus Sustainability Office. "This and the hard work from staff and volunteers helped make this year's Chuck-it for Charity so successful."
Many of the items donated this year were shared with the campus community through a reuse pop-up swap in the South Park Blocks through the week-long event and by stocking the Reuse Room daily with office supplies, lamps, dishes, and other household items. Additionally, PSU partnered with Cascadia Gaia Movement to donate clothing and textiles. With 1,301 students moving out, donations amounted to nearly 36 pounds of clothing and other goods per student. Here's a breakdown:
- 9,957 pounds of clothing and textiles were donated to Cascadia Gaia Movement,
- 13,288 pounds of household items and furniture were collected and distributed to the pop-up swaps and the Reuse Room, and
- 445 pounds of nonperishable foods was donated to the ASPSU Food Pantry.
Items that were not redistributed have filled the Reuse Room's overstock room and will be distributed via summer pop-up swaps and through the Reuse Room over the next few months. So if you are looking for dishes, lamps, cleaning supplies or office supplies, be sure to stop by.

|[jira] [Created] (ZOOKEEPER-3466) ZK cluster converges, but does not properly handle client connections (new in 3.5.5)
|Tue, 23 Jul 2019 16:49:00 GMT
Jan-Philip Gehrcke created ZOOKEEPER-3466: --------------------------------------------- Summary: ZK cluster converges, but does not properly handle client connections (new in 3.5.5) Key: ZOOKEEPER-3466 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3466 Project: ZooKeeper Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.5.5 Environment: Linux Reporter: Jan-Philip Gehrcke Hey, we explore switching from ZooKeeper 3.4.14 to ZooKeeper 3.5.5 in [DC/OS|[https://github.com/dcos/dcos]]. DC/OS coordinates ZooKeeper via Exhibitor. We are not changing anything w.r.t. Exhibitor for now, and are hoping that we can use ZooKeeper 3.5.5 as a drop-in replacement for 3.4.14. This seems to work fine when Exhibitor uses a so-called static ensemble where the individual ZooKeeper instances are known a priori. When Exhibitor however discovers individual ZooKeeper instances ("dynamic" back-end) then I think we observe a regression where ZooKeeper 3.5.5 can get into the following bad state (often, but not always): # three ZooKeeper instances find each other, leader election takes place (*expected*) # leader election succeeds: two followers, one leader (*expected*) # all three ZK instances respond IAMOK to RUOK (*expected*) # all three ZK instances respond to SRVR (one says "Mode: leader", the other two say "Mode: follower") (*expected*) # all three ZK instances respond to MNTR and show plausible output (*expected*) # *{color:#FF0000}Unexpected:{color}* any ZooKeeper client trying to connect to any of the three nodes observes a "connection timeout", whereas notably this is *not* a TCP connect() timeout. The TCP connect() succeeds, but then ZK does not seem to send the bytes to the TCP connection, and the ZK clients wait for them via recv() until it hits a timeout condition. Examples for two different clients: ## In Kazoo we specifically hit Connection time-out: socket time-out during readgenerated here: [https://github.com/python-zk/kazoo/blob/88b657a0977161f3815657878ba48f82a97a3846/kazoo/protocol/connection.py#L249] ## In zkCli we see Client session timed out, have not heard from server in 15003ms for sessionid 0x0, closing socket connection and attempting reconnect (org.apache.zookeeper.ClientCnxn:main-SendThread(localhost:2181)) # This state is stable, it will last forever (well, at least for multiple hours and we didn't test longer than that). # In our system the ZooKeeper clients are crash-looping. They retry. What I have observed is that while they retry the ZK ensemble accumulates outstanding requests, here shown from MNTR output: zk_packets_received 2008 zk_packets_sent 127 zk_num_alive_connections 18 zk_outstanding_requests 1880 # The leader emits log lines confirming session timeout, example: {code:java} [myid:3] INFO [SessionTracker:ZooKeeperServer@398] - Expiring session 0x2000642b18f0020, timeout of 10000ms exceeded [myid:3] INFO [SessionTracker:QuorumZooKeeperServer@157] - Submitting global closeSession request for session 0x2000642b18f0020{code} # In this state, restarting any one of the two ZK followers results in the same state (clients don't get data from ZK upon connect). # In this state, restarting the ZK leader, and therefore triggering a leader re-election, almost immediately results in all clients being able to connect to all ZK instances successfully. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)

LONDON — A week before President Trump's working visit to Britain, the mayor of London has allowed an additional participant in the city's welcome reception: a giant orange balloon of the president depicted as a baby in a diaper.
The balloon was approved amid "Stop Trump" protests planned for the visit starting on July 12. Activist groups and trade unions organized an online petition calling on the mayor to allow the effigy to be flown over Parliament. It drew over 10,000 signatories.
Mr. Trump's visit to Britain was originally scheduled to coincide with the opening of the new United States Embassy in January, but it was abruptly canceled with a message on Twitter from the president saying he did not want to inaugurate the building because the Obama administration had paid too much for it.
British and American officials speculated that the real reason Mr. Trump had pulled out of the trip was because of the risk of large-scale protests.
At the time, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan — who has had a long-running feud with Mr. Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. — said the American president "got the message" from Londoners who "love and admire America and Americans" but find his policies and actions "the polar opposite of our city's values of inclusion, diversity and tolerance."
But later, the trip was on again.
Prime Minister Theresa May extended the invitation to the president during a 15-minute meeting at the World Economic Forum in January — a decision that was met with great opposition from the British public.
Leo Murray, an activist and the creator of the inflatable "Trump Baby," criticized Mrs. May for inviting Mr. Trump despite a petition signed by nearly two million people asking her to scrap the plan.
"It's on everyone who knows the difference between right and wrong to resist this grotesque excuse for a president when he comes here," Mr. Murray wrote in a column for the newspaper Metro. "He needs to be run out of town, figuratively at least. But how? This is a man who lacks the capacity for moral shame. Liberal outrage just makes him smirk harder."
Mr. Murray suggested that the only way to get through to the president is to "get down on his level and talk to him in a language he understands: personal insults."
Mrs. May was the first foreign leader to visit Mr. Trump at the White House, in January, in a bid to strengthen relations with Britain's single largest trading partner outside the European Union before Britain's withdrawal from the bloc.
A spokesman for the mayor said that Mr. Khan supported the right to peaceful protests and realized that planned demonstrations could take different forms.
"His city operations team have met with the organizers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp," the representative said in a statement.
Chances are that Mr. Trump, accompanied by his wife, Melania, will steer clear of the protests in central London since most of his meetings with British officials and Queen Elizabeth II have been scheduled outside the city at a country residence and Windsor Castle.
After two days of meetings and a news conference, Mr. Trump will travel to Scotland, where he will spend the weekend, the Prime Minister's Office said on Friday.
But the presence of the balloon in London could further strain relations between the mayor and Mr. Trump, who have been involved in a series of Twitter spats over the past year.
The organizers will still need final approval from the Metropolitan Police and from British air traffic control before they can fly the balloon, however.
"I'm really proud of our mayor, who is just about the only person who is standing up for our city's values of respect, tolerance, and diversity," said Louise Pratt, another activist involved in the balloon campaign.
"As if our Brexit woes weren't bad enough, Theresa May is now forcing us to get on our knees and beg for business deals from a crook," Ms. Pratt added. "What has this country come to? It's an utter disgrace."
Mr. Trump has inspired other outsize protests. Last year, an artist and documentary filmmaker inflated a giant Trump chicken with a golden coif in view of the White House to try to make a statement about the president being a "weak and ineffective leader." An anarchist group also displayed nude life-size orange statues of the presidential candidate in American cities.
Nigel Farage, the former leader of the anti-immigrant U.K. Independence Party and a Trump supporter, criticized the mayor's decision to approve the balloon, saying on Twitter that it would make London look ridiculous. "This is the biggest insult to a sitting US President ever," he wrote.
Aidan Kerr, a media officer for the Scottish Labour Party, begged to differ, retorting on Twitter, "We literally burned down the White House in 1814."

WATCH: Gardens International development in Limerick all set to bloom this year
THE €18m Gardens International development in Limerick is set to be opened and fully occupied by the end of this year.
A high-tech financial services company and a firm in the IT sector are anticipated to be among the first tenants for the Henry Street scheme, which could deliver more than 750 jobs in total for the city.
While declining to name the specific companies for commercial reasons, Aidan Gavin of Cushman & Wakefield, the main letting agent for Gardens International, revealed the firm has been in talks with these companies.
"In terms of the building, we are completing it to grade A specifications by November 2018," he said. "We are in discussions with a number of tenants and have a number of significant people earmarked for the building. But there's still some space available."
A breakfast briefing in the Savoy Hotel this week saw the launch of a new web site and brochure for the state-of-the-art office accommodation set for the former General Post Office.
New computer generated impressions of the project were also unveiled.
John Buckley, also of the letting agent, added: "The building itself is a mixture of the old and the new. It provides net space of over 80,000 square feet. The layouts are flexible, and they provide 3,500 square feet, and an average floor take of 50,000 square feet."
At the foot of the Gardens International complex, there will be a marble reception, including a break-out area, backed by 24-hour security.
Underground car parking will also be present, while the first floor of the main building – known as Gardens Central – will see an outdoor garden, offering panoramic views of the city.
Interestingly, Mr Gavin said many aspects of the car park have been "future proofed".
Three metre slabs will be placed in these areas, he said, to allow machines to allow "auto-starting" of vehicles.
"As car parking becomes less of an issue, we can convert these areas to residential, office or retail in future developments," he explained.
David Conway, the chief executive of Limerick Twenty Thirty, said: "We are setting a new standard for office accommodation in Limerick and the Mid-West region. Not only will this build a new working environment, but it also signals a business hub for economic growth and development in Limerick."
The scheme will represent the first office development which will be completed to 'Leed gold standards'.
This is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards sustainable design.
This designation is seen as being a crucial factor in any American company's decision to take office space.
Gardens International will be the first project led by Limerick Twenty Thirty to be completed in the city.
The others are the €200m Project Opera scheme and the transformation of the former Cleeve's factory on North Circular Road.

Town boss Billy Heath praised the impact of substitute Tom Denton after the striker scored in Halifax's 2-1 win at Worcester.
Denton was brought on at half-time after an underwhelming first-half from The Shaymen, and added to Matty Kosylo's goal to notch his 15th of the season.
"Sometimes in games like this you've got to play percentage football, put balls in areas and get second balls," Heath said of his decision to bring Denton on at half-time.
"He's a weapon. We knew he'd win 90 per cent of the headers.
"I'm really pleased for him because he's been out of the team for a while, then he's had this heel problem, which is still troublesome.
"His goal was fantastic - great ball in from Josh Wilde but he's put it right in the top corner. A great header."
Heath was delighted with Denton's contribution to the game, with the striker helping Halifax get a foothold in the contest.
"He made an impact. When substitutes come on the pitch you want them to make an impact," Heath said.
"Dents is Dents - he won't throw his teddy out when he's not playing.
"He's not pleased but he's a team player so he waits for his chance. He came on and in 45 minutes he's scored a goal and made a huge impact."
Heath admitted the pitch didn't help the quality of the match, but said the win was the most important thing.
"It did remind me of the Altrincham game but the pleasing thing is we have ground out the result," he said.
"By hook or by crook we're getting results.
"The surface wasn't great but you've got to play on everything - I think there's going to be more pitches that are difficult than good, and we've got to manage them better than we did.
"But it's just about getting the three points. We never reached the heights football-wise but we got the win.
"Everybody expected us to come here and get a rout but that's not how football works.
"You've got to do the basics but we weren't first to a lot of things that were dropping in all areas, front to back. You've got to fight and scrap when you play at places like this and on pitches like this, and we were second. I said that at half-time."
Referee Robert Massey-Ellis caused consternation among both sets of supporters by awarding Worcester a penalty and then sending-off scorer Tyler Weir for a second booking.
"I honestly didn't know why the penalty was given - I have no idea. I'd like to see it again," Heath added.
"Then, we know it's a difficult job the referees have, but you cannot send a player off for that. It's bizarre. If he slapped Sam Johnson then he has to be sent-off. But for me it just looked like handbags. We're playing men's football here. I just don't think you can go down the road of, every time someone makes a challenge, they get a yellow card. You can't brandish a yellow card every time somebody gets a challenge wrong."

Peer Education
The Student Wellbeing Ambassador Team (S.W.A.T.) provides educational programming and outreach services to the West Virginia University students throughout campus year long.
S.W.A.T. is a group of trained and certified students interested in being a part of a broader culture of wellbeing here at WVU. These peer educators, or what we like to call them, Wellbeing Ambassadors, are trained every semester to facilitate and properly educate the content of each WELLWVU liveWELL theme. S.W.A.T. works closely with R.A.s, student organizations, and other departments at WVU to maintain the furthest reach around campus in order to educate their peers on healthy lifestyle choices. This type of peer education is done through fun and interactive games and discussions. S.W.A.T. members also help produce content for the various liveWELL marketing campaigns, facilitate and promote the many WELLWVU run events, such as chillFEST, Condom Caravan, Farmer's Market and any other appearance centering around the iconic WELLWVU Gazebo.
Every student has the ability to lead and can play a role in creating a campus culture where all can thrive! All students are welcome to join, no matter what background or major. For more information, contact the WELLWVU Office of Wellness & Health Promotion at 304-293-5054 or email email@example.com .
Fall 2017 S.W.A.T. Members
What our S.W.A.T. alumni are saying
"After moving to Pittsburgh by myself & starting in the workforce, I felt an overwhelming amount of emotions. It was my roots from WELLWVU that brought tranquility back to my life. I returned to the content I used to promote to students at WVU, specifically sleepWELL, moveWELL, & eatWELL, to get me through my weeks. I'm so thankful for my time at WELLWVU, I will cherish it forever." - Markee Shamblin
"Working with WELLWVU and being able to make a difference in my peers lives was truly amazing. The content we promoted to students not only helped them, but also helped me keep my life in check during my hectic undergraduate years. I have continued peer education, teaching the same mindfulness we would promote during chillWELL at WVU, but now with my med school classmates here at NYU." - Nick Blasingame

Our pals at Cartel Coffee Lab are coming to Palm Springs. They're opening their first location outside of Arizona on November 9th. While it's a bummer to wind down our baby Customs Coffee, Cartel Coffee Lab is going to bring a whole new level of coffee to ARRIVE. These guys make coffee the way we make hotels: real good.
Cartel focuses on working with passionate farmers that produce the best-tasting single-origin beans instead of offering a blinding selection of sugar-laced syrups. They emphasize light-roasting which allows for the natural qualities of the coffee to speak on their own.
Come on over November 9th for some free drip and a chance to say "hi" to the new kids on the block.

I saw a television commercial last year, only a few times before it disappeared from broadcast, that showed a series of people describing themselves by one word. A talking head appeared and the person said, "Mother"; then another talking head and the person said, "White." Then "Gay." Then, "Musician." And on and on… Each word was so limiting—and often politically charged—that I hated the commercial from the first (I don't remember what it was for!). In my mind I imagined additional descriptors for each person…after all, I never think of myself as one word. In fact, as I've gotten older, I think of myself as more and more words all the time: birthrights, physical attributes, mentality, experiences, interests, habits, knowledge, tastes, etc. I've even come to object to my own resumé: I don't think I can be effectively summarized!
I say the same for people I know: I don't think they can be effectively summarized. I've written in the past of how I see people as "types" just so I can manage all the possibilities, while in reality, I recognize that people one-on-one exhibit an infinite assortment of qualities and values: riches. Humans comprise riches we haven't learned to understand yet.
- I have a friend who is artistic, academic, emotional, very politically conservative, intelligent, loyal, loving, shy, talkative, philosophical, pensive, literary, happy, and yet he can be angry, caustic, and melancholy. I've seen him on the verbal attack at all kinds of people.
- I have a friend who is an accountant, a rocker, pugnacious, funny, deeply loyal, conservative, professional, conspiratorial, sports-obsessed, quick-witted, and yet he can be judiciously liberal, ironic, and encouraging. I've seen him get emotional over little things.
- I have a friend who is a psychologist, truly liberal, patient, nonjudgmental, attentive, responsive, very smart, and yet I've known him to be foolish, fickle, and guilt-ridden. Once, he nearly cut off his own hand.
- I have a friend who is technically and interpersonally brilliant, inspiring, welcoming, self-deprecating, patient, very hard-working, dedicated, loving and open, friendly, and yet she can be incisive, demanding, unrelenting, while uninformed. I've known her to cut to the heart of a matter while making the offending party feel corrected, not rebuked.
Television shows easily create comedy by using characters who are one-dimensional—caricatures who can be defined by a single word—so that they aren't really human characters at all. On Seinfeld, for instance, Kenny Bania (Steve Hytner), another comedian, aggravates Jerry over four seasons by his shallowness…it's easy comedy to maintain Bania as one-dimensional. On Friends, Janice (Maggie Wheeler) is a self-absorbed drama-queen caricature throughout the 10 seasons; the friends are annoyed by her but the audience loves her because she is one-dimensional. If a character becomes more complex/more human, the audience begins to empathize and finds it more difficult to laugh at them.
Which is pretty much where the world is moving today: turn everyone—especially people who aren't like us—into one-dimensional caricatures, often based on differences…and it's easy to laugh at them! In the political world, it's epidemic; in the social world, it's epidemic; in the racial, religious, economic worlds, it's epidemic. As if the 140 characters in a tweet can define a topic or a person! Like the commercial, "I'm white," or "I'm old" or "I'm conservative." Too many people want to lump me, lump each other into very limited categories. Then no one has to be a real, complicated human and no one has to empathize or sympathize. Except that I know we're missing the riches that knowing each other brings.

The Fingerspelling Code Update
Each book has a development cycle and timeline. The Fingerspelling Code has the longest timeline of any book I have been involved with. I was so sure it would be done in 2015 that I allowed pre-orders to be sold for it during most of that year. I could give a list of reasons why it has been delayed. Each of which is a pretty good reason, but I will spare you the excuses and just say that it is not finished. It is a better book because of it, but it isn't done.
Empyreal Press now has a team of eight people working on it in various ways. Some entire sections have been rewritten numerous times. Every photo of more than 700 photos has been retaken and upgraded. It is as if an entirely new book was written over the top of the book that was there and there is more to revise and improve. The end in in sight, but I will no longer be making predictions about this book. Its release will be announced when it is sent to print.
If you are one of the lucky people who pre-ordered the book in 2015 you will get it, and a gift when the book comes out. Thank you for your patience. I do believe you will be happy with it when you see it. If you did order it and you have moved or need the book sent elsewhere, please do contact Empyreal Press so that may be arranged.

Local, independent businesses are vital to Croydon. They are the life blood of our High Street and Croydon itself. They provide the variety, choice, personal service and, most importantly, employment so are vital to keep Croydon vibrant.

A friend sent this to me yesterday, a quote from John Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems. I like it.
"Focus on what we can influence, and not over or under react to things we cannot. It's a question of living in the world as it is, not the way we want it to be."
Also had a good chat with Timothy Archibald the other day, who is not one to really worry about things, except "putting one foot in front of the other" and continuing to move forward.
Thanks to JC and TA for the positive thoughts.

We caught up with Jacques Spelkens, Head of CSR Benelux at ENGIE, to learn more about ENGIE's CSR commitments.
Q1: ENGIE renewed its CSR policy end of 2017. What are the main innovations compared to the previous one?
The Group's new CSR policy, adapted to today's societal challenges, aims to create shared value and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the UN. Our new CSR policy encompasses 17 specific CSR objectives, of which 6 are communicated externally to demonstrate the Group's CSR commitment.
First of all, ENGIE wants to support its customers towards the energy transition, but their satisfaction as such is also a top priority. Besides, ENGIE wants to create more shared value with its stakeholders, but also to engage more with them. That's why more opportunities are given to them to express their opinion through various dialogues and public consultations.
With regard to renewable energies, the objective is that the energy production releases 20% less CO2 than in 2012. When it comes to safety at work, the frequency of work incidents should be reduced to 3 by 2020. Finally, a quarter of the Group's total workforce should be women by 2020, whereas today the female workforce accounts for 19%.
Q2: ENGIE Group relies on 1000s of suppliers, ranging from international groups to local SMEs. All of the Group's purchasing contracts incorporate an ethics and CSR clause. This is a very complex matter, what kind of hurdles do you anticipate and how will you overcome them?
The ethics and CSR clause incorporated into all purchasing contracts testify ENGIE's commitment (e.g. fair treatment, prompt payments, data confidentiality) towards its suppliers.
One of the hurdles for ENGIE is the rise of some suppliers' disagreements or the inability for some of them to meet the expectations. Especially for SMEs, it can be difficult to comply with the required CSR level. As a result, ENGIE could face difficulties to meet its own KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). However, ENGIE should not be too strict, as the role of a large company is to provide guidelines and support smaller businesses in meetings these targets.
ENGIE will obviously seek to amicably resolve any disputes or controversies that may arise. Otherwise, we will call on a mediator, in charge of resolving disputes with any person or organisation affected by the Group's activities. All Group employees in general, and buyers in particular, are required to comply with all seven principles of the Code of Conduct in Supplier Relations.
Q3: What is currently the most exciting CSR project you are working on that contributes to Engie's new CSR policy?
One exciting CSR environmental project we work on is the extension of wind farms for which the 150th wind turbine was recently inaugurated in Meerhout in Belgium. The goal is that, by 2030, 40% of the energy production comes from renewable energies for the whole ENGIE group.
Besides that, the ENGIE Foundation supports various projects throughout the world. In Belgium, the Power2Act program enables Engie staff to volunteer in social programmes.
Other actions include: the Zero Waste Operation at the Brussels ENGIE Tower raises awareness on better Waste Treatment, the Hena Heap rehabilitation project (investment in a 15-year long-term rehabilitation project of a green area in Belgium for developing biodiversity, the Diversity Label as well as enhancing Green Mobility. Finally, there is an objective to broaden the scope and develop more projects and partnerships with civil society through the ENGIE Foundation Belgium and its citizenship programs.

ECM Focus Group - Trinity Church, Haverhill
Starting in June of 2016, Episcopal City Mission kicked off a strategic planning phase, looking at how we might realign ourselves with our core mission. We started that inward scan by listening to our partners in this work - we engaged in a listening phase, hearing from nearly 100 people who shared with us what ECM was to them and where God was calling ECM to go next.
We've finished that first listening phase and, after processing what we've heard with key leaders of our communities - leaders involved in faith based work, justice work, and movement building - are ready to present and discern with our broader community ECM's path moving forward.
Join us as we break bread, share a word together, and hold conversation about where ECM is moving to action!

Han Alexander Plays with Expectations
The majority of my readers are huge fans of Han Alexander, whom I featured a few months ago.
Now let's look beyond Han's initial appeal to her picture's cultural and artistic implications. Though Han might not be aware of this, I see themes of vulnerability, cultural depictions of femininity, and cross-cultural styles throughout her pictures.
This picture is the first example of many in which she plays with vulnerability in her innocent expression and shoulder's slouching inward, however it also has a cool ex-ray effect, helping to highten the idea of unwarranted exposure. Notice that the light blue of her hair and the blue tint of the photo matches the coloring of an ex-ray, and the structural pattern on her shirt is evocative of a skeleton or vertebrae.
Here she plays with our views of femininity, taking a very stereotypically feminine stance that we often see among female models, with the big jacket collar pulled over the mouth, but she wears more of a gender neutral jacket with the sporty buttons and elastic ties.
Han uses the varsity jacket, (a piece I also wrote about here) but shows herself standing outside on a grey day, looking melancholic at the ground. The varsity jacket can only evoke high school age memories of "fitting in," yet Han seems inward in this picture, and to some degree lonely. Her unconventional hair style also shows that she's clearly trying to set herself apart from the crowd. All these aspects bring us through the contrast between fitting in and lonliness.
The cardigan over v-neck style is a popular metro skinny-boy look; but the necklaces we tend to in this context are rosary necklaces, not because the wearer is religious, but because aspects of American Christianity have bled into the mainstream so much that jewelry with cross symbolosism has become really popular. For Han to choose a necklace with an Asian toy is to put her own stamp on a mainstream look and ask us to explore a tug between Asian and American cultures.
Another example of the same necklace, with a metro look.

What Is Bromelain?
Pineapple contains certain enzymes that are called bromelain. These enzymes can dissolve protein and are used to tenderize meat and as nutritional supplements. Bromelain is thought to aid in digestion and reduce inflammation. It may also have activity against cancer and blood clots.
Bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic (protein-dissolving) enzymes. It contains substances that may slow down the growth of cancerous cells, decrease the "stickiness" of blood platelets, help to break down blood clots, and help to break down and remove dead, damaged, or infected tissue (such as in burn wounds). Bromelain may also affect the way white blood cells function, which may produce anti-inflammatory properties.
In general, there is little scientific evidence to suggest conclusively that bromelain really is effective for most uses. However, early research shows promise for a few different bromelain uses.
(Click Bromelain for a more in-depth look at what bromelain is used for. This article provides a complete overview of the supplement, including possible benefits, potential side effects, and safety concerns to be aware of before taking it.)

We had a quiet night last night and took advantage of light winds this morning to do a bit of housekeeping. Matt organized his toolboxes and I tried (unsuccessfully) to sew something. Lunch involved a can opener. All very 1950s.
The wind filled back in by midday and conditions since then have been pretty close to perfect; 15-20kts off the port quarter and calm seas. We're making good progress � nearly 500nm in three days � but the forecast is showing light winds for the next couple days. Hopefully we can keep our speed up.
