Water serves as purification in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the Sun Also Rises. Jake and Huck cleanse themselves in water after each suffer a painful experience. Water brings emotional relief for Jake and Huck. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the Sun Also Rises describes water as spiritually peaceful and relaxing. Water acts as a purifier for both Jake and Huck.
Water creates safety for Jake and Huck. Jake s cleansing takes place in San Sebastian and Pamplona. Huck s cleansing takes place in the Mississippi River. Despite the difference, Jake and Huck both achieve the same emotional relief. In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the Sun Also Rises, water cleanses Jake and Huck after each suffer a painful experience.
Jake has many painful experiences where he needs to cleanse himself with water afterwards. Jake suffers a painful experience when he witnesses Frances and Cohn s altercation with each other, As I [Jake] went out the door I looked back through the two thicknesses of glass and saw them [Frances and Cohn] sitting there. She was still talking to him. (58) Jake needs to cleanse himself in water because of the painful experience, I [Jake] put the mail on the table, went back to the bedroom, undressed and had a shower. I was rubbing down when I heard the door-bell pull. (60) Jake takes another shower when he arrives in San Sebastian, Then I took a shower in the bathroom and went down to lunch. (238) Jake takes a shower because of his travel from France and Spain. France is a country concerned about money and Spain is not, Life was so simple in France.
I felt I was a fool to be going back into Spain. In Spain you could not tell about anything. (237) In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck suffers a painful experience when he witnesses the shooting between the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons, I [Huck] stayed in the tree till it begun to get dark, afraid to come down. Sometimes I heard guns away off in the woods; and twice I seen little gangs of men gallop past the log store with guns; so I reckoned the trouble was still a-going on. (112) In the next chapter, Huck is swimming in the Mississippi River, trying to cleanse himself of the painful experiences he has seen with the Grangerfords and Shepherdsons, Then we [Huck and Jim] set out the lines. Next we slid into the river and had a swim, so as to freshen up and cool off; then we set down on the sandy bottom where the water was about knee-deep, and watched the daylight come. (113) Jake and Huck relieve themselves of their painful experiences. Water is a spiritually calm and relaxing element. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn describes the Mississippi river as still and grand, Well, when Tom and me [Huck] got to the edge of the hilltop we looked away down into the village...
was the river, a whole mile broad, and awful still and grand. (8) The Mississippi River provides a comfortable and lax ambience for Huck, When it was dark I [Huck] set by my camp-fire smoking, and feeling pretty well satisfied; but by and by it got sort of lonesome, and so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current swashing along, and counted the stars and drift-logs and rafts that come down, and then went to bed. (39) Moreover, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn describes the Mississippi river as still, solemn and grand, It was kind of solemn drifting down the big, still river, laying on our backs looking up at the stars... (63) The water is calm and relaxing. The Sun Also Rises describes the Iraqi River as smooth and deep, The gate was up, and I [Jake] sat on one of the squared timbers and watched the smooth apron of water before the river tumbled into the falls. In the white water at the foot of the dam it was deep. (124) Both works describe water as an element that is spiritually soothing. Jake describes the water in San Sebastian as serene, Out beyond where the headlands of the Concha almost met to form the harbor there was a white line of breakers and the open sea.
They came in like undulations in the water, gathered weight of water, and then broke smoothly on the warm sand. (238) Water creates security in both works. In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck feels secure when he is on the river, I never felt easy till the raft was two mile below there and out in the middle of the Mississippi. Then we hung up our signal lantern, and judged that we was free and safe once more. (113) In the Sun Also Rises, Jake and Huck have different methods of cleansing, yet they both achieve the same sense of relief. In the Sun Also Rises, Jake cleanses himself at the San Sebastian beach, The water was cold. As a roller came I [Jake] dove, swam out under water, and came to the surface with all the chill gone.
I swam out to the raft, pulled myself up, and lay on the hot planks. (238) Jake dives through, under the water, smoothly, and reaches the surface. Jake and Huck are similar in their cleansing because they both swim smoothly and relaxed. Jake goes through a painful experience when he sees the amorous couple and feels he must dive once more in order to relieve himself of his emotional distress. Jake goes through several dives again when he sees an amorous couple in San Sebastian, A boy and girl were at the other end... Then I [Jake] tried several dives. I dove deep once, swimming down to the bottom.
I swam with my eyes open and it was green and dark. (239) He does not feel that the cleansing had been enough. Jake takes a final dive, cleansing himself completely, After a while I stood up, gripped with my toes on the edge of the raft as it tipped with my weight, and dove cleanly and deeply, to come up through the lightening water. (242) Finally, Jake finishes his cleansing with a deep dive into the water and emerges out of the water. In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck and Jake cleanse themselves differently, but manage to achieve the same sense of relief, ... and let her float wherever the current wanted her to; then we lit the pipes, and dangled our legs in the water, and talked about all kinds of things-we was always naked, day and night, whenever the mosquitoes would let us... Jake and Huck purify by cleansing themselves with water. In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the Sun Also Rises, water is an element of purification that heals wounded emotions.
Huck and Jake use water to receive emotional relief from society. Huck and Jake cleanse themselves, yet the purity of water remains. Water is used as a universal symbol in both works. The purity of water cleanses Jake and Huck. Jake and Huck are safe when they are around water.
Huck cleanses himself in the Mississippi river. Yet, Jake cleanses himself in the San Sebastian beach. In the end, Huck and Jake receive the same relief from society s painful experiences.

By now, many may have seen "open calls" for interested applicants to fill City Council Position 6. The last remaining woman on Tacoma's City Council stepped down voluntarily to run for mayor.
The deadline to apply for the appointment process is January 6. The Government Performance and Finance Committee, which was appointed by the City Council, will narrow the candidates down on January 18 to no more than five, then the City Council will make the final decision on January 24. This is by no means an objective process and to pretend otherwise is a slap in the face of the community. The selected candidate will most likely already be friends with current council members, and less likely to voice dissent on topics that matter. This process ensures the continued homogenization of a city council out of touch with many of its citizens. The appointed individual will then have incumbent status, making a run in the general election that much more costly for opponents. Traditional successful campaigns for at-large Tacoma City Council positions have been around $60,000 for open seats. This kind of money is easily secured by those who grew up or run in wealthy circles, and widens the divide between the council and the people they are paid to represent.
In order to solve the community's most complex problems, we need a wider range of expertise to serve on the council. Women make up slightly over half the population of Tacoma, and yet from the period of December 28 through at least January 24, there will be no women council members. So far, the ones who have most vocally and aggressively claimed the lack of women on the council is not an issue are men.
The predominately male city council has done nothing to address the wage gap or the burden of childcare costs on women's careers. In fact, the current mayor and city council fought tooth and nail against raising the minimum wage to a livable wage despite the fact that research has shown that the typical minimum wage workers are women in their mid-30s (http://www.epi.org/publication/wage-workers-older-88-percent-workers-benefit/). Research has also shown that senior women are twice as likely to live in poverty as senior men due to the impact that the wage gap and unpaid care-giving duties have on lifetime earnings.
The current city council has repeatedly dismissed concerns regarding the Methanol Refinery (cancelled) and the LNG storage facility and accompanying pipelines (moving forward), claiming the need to be neutral. Meanwhile, documentation has since surfaced that certain council members and the mayor voiced support on video and in writing for both projects. While some may claim that LNG is a "cleaner alternative" fuel, the reality is that "[f]racking exposes children and mothers to chemicals and substances such as methane, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes), arsenic, radium, ozone, formaldehyde, radon, nitrogen oxides, methylene chloride, and silica sand. These substances are associated with low birth weight, birth defects, respiratory problems, cancer, and fertility problems" (Center for Environmental Health, 2013). As fracking takes place outside Tacoma city limits, this issue may be easier to sweep under the rug for local politicians. Forgetting for a moment that LNG is not as clean as Puget Sound Energy has advertised, the proponents for the LNG plant have framed the argument as if there were no other alternatives than to place a potentially dangerous storage facility in the midst of a populous city. What's worse, Tacoma city council members gave their support without first demanding objective environmental/ health impact studies.
The City Council has done little to help homeless populations in the city, instead encouraging sweeps and pushing those in need farther from vital services. South Tacoma Business District members complained about a new at-risk youth shelter being set up at S. 54th and South Tacoma Way, but a local council member with "expertise" in the field supported its location in the middle of what is largely a bar district with inadequate bus service, schools, or nearby support agencies (Candace Ruud, The News Tribune). What the council member and the News Tribune failed to point out is the fact that downtown and Hilltop associations and individual business owners have actively forced relocation of homeless individuals through lobbying of council members with campaign contributions, and physical barricades referred to as "beautification efforts" (Adam Ashton, The News Tribune, April 6, 2016).
My hope is that new candidates will step up to protect our city despite the fact that
- disparate media coverage of male vs. female candidates continues to be a factor in campaign success (The Women's Media Center's Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians, Rachel Joy Larris and Rosalie Maggio, 2012)
- women receive threats and harassment online above and beyond what men experience (Soraya Chemaly, September 9, 2014, Time Magazine)
- women who may have the most to offer this city in terms of practical knowledge and expertise may have the least in terms of economic means to launch a traditional campaign (Allie Bidwell, October 31, 2014, US News).
It is unlikely for anyone not currently in the inner circles of the city council to win the appointment process, but it is not too early or too late to start campaigning for the upcoming general election. The offices of mayor and City Council Positions 2, 4, 5 and 6 are open in Tacoma. Those who may be dissuaded from running by the cost of filing fees ($910.42 for mayor and $412-$436 depending on council seat) should note that the fee can be waived with the collection of signatures equivalent to the monetary amount for the position sought. Other information required for filing for candidacy is available through the Pierce County Auditor's website and the Public Disclosure Commission.

One woman bit another in a fight sparked by a road-rage incident that ended in a Chula Vista post office parking lot Saturday, police said.
Police said a woman suspected of causing the trouble was arrested and two of the other three women involved were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, including the bite.
Three women were in a yellow Hummer and one was driving a silver sedan when they got into some type of roadway confrontation near Interstate 805 and Telegraph Canyon Road, Chula Vista police Sgt. James Petray said.
Both drivers pulled into the Rancho del Rey Post Office back parking lot on Oxford Street and continued the dispute, police said.
Police were called about 8:45 a.m. to break up the fight.
Video from OnSceneTV showed one woman shrieking as three officers struggled to get handcuffs on her. They secured her legs in a Wrap constriction blanket before carrying her to a patrol car.
No information was immediately available on whether she was booked into jail, or what caused the original road-rage incident.

Farrington and Jasper Jump to First in $131,600 Imperial Winning Round CSI5* at Spruce Meadows
Farrington and Jasper Jump to First in $131,600 Imperial Winning Round CSI5* at Spruce Meadows
USA's Kent Farrington and Jasper won the $131,600 Imperial Winning Round CSI 5* during the 'North American' Tournament at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Riders had competed earlier during the week to qualify for the Imperial Winning Round (1.50m), with only the top 30 riders based on their placings from the Kubota Cup and the AON Cup eligible to compete. Canada's Tiffany Foster and the quick gelding Brighton won the event in both 2016 and 2017 and were looking for a hat trick win in today's event.
The top ten results from round one returned to compete in the Winning Round including fan favorites Kent Farrington, Eric Lamaze and last year's winner Tiffany Foster. A rail in round one had Foster coming back first in the Winning Round. Then, with a time of 55.900 seconds, she laid down a clear ride aboard Brighton.
The remainder of the field was working hard to catch Foster's fast time, and she held onto that lead until the final horse. Farrington was the only thing standing between Foster and her victory. However, the American and the 9-year-old Belgian Warmblood stallion (Heartbreaker x Wega van't Gestelhof) left nothing on the line. They posted a clear ride with a time of 53.900 seconds to take the win.
This was the second win for Jasper, owned by Farrington and Tanma Corporation, at the Spruce Meadows Summer Series.
"He's just stepping up to this level of competition," Farrington, the sixth-ranked rider in the world, said of the stallion. "He's answering all the questions. I have big hopes for him in the future. I'm thrilled, thrilled … I couldn't ask for him to go better."

text: FI scientist Heather Robinson was recently interviewed for an article in Audubon Magazine about the seabirds of Alcatraz Island. The article details the colony and its history, explaining how the seabirds returned to breed on the island following the closure of the famous prison. Through tours, people can have a unique birding experience on Alcatraz. Heather Robinson closely monitors the bird populations on the island and disturbances to them, and that work is detailed here. This year there were healthy populations of western gulls and record high numbers of breeding Brandt's cormorants.

The Blind Portrait Experience
art basel 2017
miami beach edition
I am on a quest to gaze into the eyes of 10k people.
This quest has come to life in efforts to raise awareness on the importance of human connection.
Through a 45 second eye gazing exercise I am able to create a connection and illustrate a one line intuitive portrait of each subject.
I do this without looking at the paper, in one shot and using one line.
I call these a portrait of your essence.
I have conducted blind portraits across 8 countries and countless cities. As I grow closer to 10,000 portraits a global network of individual connections are created. This network will come together upon the project completion.
How will that happen?
The first step will be a large installation displaying the 10k portraits. Thereafter, I will offer each person that has participated the opportunity to receive their portrait as a gift in exchange for a collective humanitarian deed.
This opportunity allows for the network to join forces and do something greater than us.

'Keep the Americans out of our business -- understand?" the captain of the Chihuahua State Police (Juan Carlos Cantu) orders his detective (Weeds' Demian Bichir).
That command proves to be quite a challenge in The Bridge, a gripping new series from FX.
When a corpse is placed precisely and conspicuously on the border demarcation between Juarez and El Paso, it sparks an uneasy collaboration between investigators in Mexico and the United States. The case brings the social, cultural, and law enforcement variances between the neighboring countries into stark relief.
For the El Paso cop (Diane Kruger of Inglourious Basterds), it's all black and white. Bossy, intemperate, and completely lacking in people skills, she goes at everything head-on. This detective doesn't observe boundaries of any kind.
Her Mexican counterpart is no less devoted to justice, but he's comfortable with obstacles and compromise. He performs his duties, after all, in an environment dominated by the boundless brutality of the drug cartels.
When Kruger reflexively asserts jurisdiction, Bichir says, "I don't need your body. Just this morning I got nine heads in the parking lot at City Hall."
Bichir, nominated for an Oscar for his poignant performance in A Better Life, is, as always, excellent. Kruger is the surprise here, giving a Natalie Portman-caliber portrayal of a woman with autistic tendencies.
Wait until you see the seduction style she uses on a guy in a honky-tonk.
The cast of The Bridge (Wednesday, 10 p.m.) is stellar beyond the leads. Ted Levine (Monk) is Kruger's endlessly patient, Stetson-ed boss. Matthew Lillard (The Descendants) is a druggy reporter, cynically spinning his wheels in El Paso. And the protean Lee Garlington plays his seen-it-all editor.
Annabeth Gish (Brotherhood) plays the recently widowed owner of a horse-breeding spread on the border, and singer Lyle Lovett turns up as a spindly, sinister lawyer.
The darker characters are indelible, too, including Arturo Del Puerto as a zealous killer and Thomas M. Wright (Top of the Lake) as a disturbed social worker. The Aussie actor is so convincing as a mesquite-smoked American, you may think he's channeling Levon Helm of the Band.
The best part of The Bridge may be its music, particularly the deeply haunting theme song, "Until I'm One With You," which Ryan Bingham wrote and recorded for the series.
(Bingham won an Academy Award for "The Weary Kind," a song he cowrote with T Bone Burnett for the film Crazy Heart. In the movie, "The Weary Kind" was the winsome hit that broken-down songwriter Jeff Bridges ultimately sold to rising country star Colin Farrell.)
Considering how steeped in Mex-Tex flavor The Bridge is, it's surprising to learn that its concept travels lightly. It's based on a Scandinavian series, Bron, in which Swedish and Danish police work the same murder. And the American adaptation was originally set on the Canadian border near Niagara Falls.
You should be aware that this is not breezy summer entertainment. The Bridge is a very dark show, both literally (everything seems to happen at night) and figuratively (morality quickly grows murky).
It's artfully directed, but intensely grisly. And its atmosphere is far more coherent than its sometimes sketchy narrative. But it does string you along. With barbed wire.

A look at what's coming up this November at the PRC.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and with it -- hopefully -- some colder weather. If you're a family who has never played at the Nonnie Hood Parent Resource Center, now is the perfect time to stop by for open play, or to check out some of the special events we have going on every week. Or, if you know a family that could use a warm, friendly place to play when the leaves turn and the thermometer drops below 40, let them know their first visit for open play is free!
This month, our focus is on giving families one last chance to recharge their battieries before the Holidays really get going. Whether it's Family Yoga, a messy art class, cooking together, or drop-off childcare, there is plenty for stir crazy families looking to get out and do something fun without freezing their noses off!
Here's a look at what we have coming up, and be sure to check the calendar for more details:
Every Tuesday stop by after story hour at the Southeast Stueben County Library for some related crafts and activities!
On Thursday, November 2, Nithya will be back for another cooking lesson. This time she'll be showing us a dish called 'dabeli' -- a type of hearty, vegetarian sloppy joe!
Kids Night Ins this month are Friday, November 3 and Friday, November 17. If you've already been to one, you know the drill -- three hours of fun, crafts, a bounce house, pizza, and snacks with our incredible staff! If you're a first-timer looking for a Friday night to yourself, give us a call with questions or to sign up today!
Miss Julie will be back for another Micro Angelos on Wednesday, November 8. She'll be showing us how to make paper lanterns, complete with battery-operated faux candles and personal designs!
The Science & Discovery Center will be here for two more Wednesdays this month, November 1 and November 15. The classes will be on counting and animals in water, respectively. While these are geared for ages two and up, anyone is allowed to join the sensory learning fun.
If you're looking for some downtime during the day, our Me Time this month will be on Thursday, November 9. Similar to Kids Night In, Me Time allows for parents to drop their children off with our staff for crafts, fun, and activities. Me Time is perfect for parents with younger children not yet in school who need some time to run errands, or just have some well-deserved alone time!
Just in time for that pre-Thanksgiving stress, Elizabeth Moses will be here for another Family Yoga class on Friday, November 17. These are always well attended and we find that kids of all ages are loving them every time they come!
And finally, on the last day of the month, Thursday, November 30, Music Therapist Jennifer Carlson will join us for another wonderful session of Music Development. These spots fill up incredibly fast, so if you want to get one you should call us at 607-936-3837 ASAP.
Please also note that the PRC will be CLOSED from Wednesday, November 22 through Friday, November 24 so the staff can enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with their families. Additionally, the PRC will be CLOSED on Saturday, November 11 in observance of Veteran's Day.

Quincy Jones/
NET WORTH: $400 million, estimated
SOURCE OF WEALTH: Music Producer, Composer
FUNDING AREAS: Humanitarian & Youth, Arts Education
OVERVIEW: Quincy Jones has a long track record of work to advance humanitarian causes. He also supports arts education.
BACKGROUND: Quincy D. Jones was born in 1933 in Chicago. At an early age, he explored music with the help of his teenage friend Ray Charles. He played in bands through the 1950s and began composing for film and television a decade later, eventually producing over 50 scores. He has worked with stars such as Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, and Celine Dion. He is also the most Grammy-nominated artist in history, with nearly 80 nominations and close to 30 wins.
HUMANITARIAN & YOUTH: In the 1980s, Jones produced the single "We Are the World," which raised more than $63 million for Ethiopian famine relief, and galvanized the U.S. government to contribute hundreds of millions. More recently, he revived the campaign to raise funds for Haitian earthquake relief.
Last decade, Jones launched the We Are the Future initiative with a concert featuring Carlos Santana, Oprah Winfrey and a host of other entertainers from around the world. The initiative established Municipal Child Centers in several global cities, in which youth are trained to run child-based programs in health, nutrition, information and communication technology, sports and arts.
In 2007, Jones and the Harvard School of Public Health launched Project Q to promote the health and well-being of children worldwide. The first annual Q Prize went to Hollywood veteran and Cambodian Children's Fund leader Scott Neeson.
ARTS EDUCATION: The Quincy Jones Foundation supports the Jazz Foundation and the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. Jones also created the Quincy Jones Musiq Consortium to expand access to music education.
LOOKING FORWARD: In his 80s, Quincy Jones will likely remain focused on his select interest areas. It is worth noting that Jones may have other more direct avenues of grantmaking, and some important grants might be missing from this rundown.
The Quincy Jones Foundation accepts applications.

December 24th 1968, outer space. Williams Anders, a member of the Apollo 8 mission, photographs the Earth rising on the lunar horizon: Earthrise. The picture becomes instantaneously famous, permeating every corner of popular culture. For the first time in its history, humanity can contemplate the unambiguous finitude of its habitat. Thus, a new consciousness is born: this limited planet might not be able to sustain unlimited growth. The expanding occupation of territories and the ruthless exploitation of natural resources, intensified by technical progress and the competitive logic of capitalism, might not lead to global happiness, but to global crisis.
In our present this crisis appears to have arrived. Loss, extinction, disaster, catastrophe, appear to define our situation in relationship to the environment, each other, and the other species inhabiting our earth. Planetary Futures is a series of research studios that include two campuses for HKW; one conducted in 2016 the next in 2020. As well as a planetary futures summer school, held in August 2017, with more planned. We propose one of the first large scale collaborative research-creation and education projects integrating arts and design, the social sciences, and media studies, to conduct multi-sited artistic, ethnographic, philosophical, and historical research and creation on the material ways that designers, researchers and entrepreneurs negotiate the future, and translate ideas of life, speculation, and temporality into technology and the built environment.
These research studios will use ethnographic site research in Montreal and abroad to begin asking how we might imagine, and design, a future earth without escaping or denying the ruins of the one we inhabit? How shall we design and encounter the ineffable without denying history, colonialism, or normalizing violence? What forms of knowledge and experiment might produce non-normative ecologies of care between life forms? How shall we inhabit the catastrophe?

1005 Cardinal #A
Here's a nice infill project by Forsite Studio. I'm always a sucker for a project with a knotty pine facade. It makes for a nice balance to the clean modern lines. The interior looks great as well, though I'm still confused by these tiny tubs I've been seeing. Are they supposed to be ofuros or just trick photography making them look small?

Arts Program Culminating Event
This year Global Playground Teaching Fellow Hannah Bunting taught two arts-based cross-cultural courses to students at Agsilab Elementary School in the Panay island of the Philippines.
At the conclusion of the school year, students of all ages displayed their works from the school year at the Global Playground Arts Program Culminating Event on March 30. The youngest class, with students from kindergarten to grade 3, visited 30 countries this year through their studies with Hannah Bunting and collected crafts from each of them!
The older class, with students in grades 4-6, focused on countries weekly to gain a deeper understanding of history. Students looked at countries that have developed post-colonialism (Brazil, Vietnam, Morocco, India, South Africa), and saw how cultures combine and mix over time to give us the world we live in today.

You were probably thinking, "I already think about sex enough, thank you very much."
But how well were you thinking about sex?
If your sex-thinking needs improvement — perhaps it needs more rigor, thoroughness, or clarity . . . consider signing up for Family Honor's online college course, The Truth and Meaning of Sexuality, Love & Family: Cultural Implications. The Fall 2014 session begins August 15th, and registration closes August 8th.
My husband and I took this course together, and here are my thoughts:
- This course is suitable for ordinary educated people. You don't have to speak philosphy-jargon or read long technical manuals. You will learn your topic well, but you'll do it using reading and recordings at a level appropriate for someone who, say, reads this blog.
- Unlike regular college, where you can kind of fake it and just cram for the exam, you have to do the homework for this one. So when they say it takes about five hours a week, that is the time commitment.
- Also unlike regular college, you can't just memorize the answers and parrot them back. I hated this part — the actual thinking things through and developing your own arguments — but it is a better way to learn, it turns out.
Great course. Highly recommended.
PS: Look here for the growing list of 2014-2015 classes for parents & teens.

Kapwanga elected as Chamber of Mines president
WINDHOEK; Sakawe Mining Corporation Managing Director Kombadayedu Kapwanga has been elected as the new president of the Chamber of Mines of Namibia.
Kapwanga, who was first vice-president of the chamber, replaced Rossing Uranium Managing Director Werner Duvenhage who was president for the past two years.
Johan Kotze from QKR Navachab Mine was elected as first vice-president, while Hilifa Mbako from Areva Mining was elected as second vice-president.
The election process took place during the chamber's 36th annual general meeting (AGM) in the capital on Tuesday.
Speaking at the opening of the AGM, Duvenhage said the mining industry is on a growth path unprecedented in the history of independent Namibia.
He said the industry has created new jobs and is expanding the tax base of the fiscus with three new mines (B2Gold, Husab uranium mine and Tschudi copper mine) and re-investments into existing operations.
Duvenhage noted that in 2014, mining and exploration companies collectively employed 7 903 people in permanent positions.
The total direct employment, including temporary employees and full-time contractors, was 17 770, providing 1 061 more jobs than in 2013.
The outgoing president indicated that the mining industry spent some N.dollars 93.9 million on training and skills development in 2014, and awarded 40 new study bursaries.
He stressed that the mining industry continues to support the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology (NIMT) with job attachments and donations of used machinery for practical training at its three campuses in Arandis, Tsumeb and Keetmanshoop.
Duvenhage said the government has a major role to play and ensure the competitiveness of the industry by avoiding unreasonable tariff increases and introduction of new levies.
He stated that the mining industry remains the backbone of the national economy for years to come.
Duvenhage recognised the close cooperation between Government and the chamber in shaping policy and legislation, saying that the relationship enhances the country's opportunity to attract more investments into new and current exploration projects.
"This is the only way we can ensure the sustainability of the mining industry. Through the activities of the joint Value-Addition Committee and current investments in upstream economic activities by some chamber members, the industry is poised to play a catalytic role in further mineral beatification and industrialisation," he said.
He symbolically handed over the responsibility to his successor, while thanking the Chamber of Mines' members and council and staff for their support during his tenure.
Duvenhage said he is hoping that the mining industry will continue to thrive as the key economic pillar for driving the socio-economic development in Namibia.

Relationships – A colleague of mine recently posted a quote on Instagram from Wayne Dyer that said, "How people treat you is their story; How you react is theirs." I personally love this quote so I was surprised by how strongly I was triggered by what another person had to say in the comments section of the post.
I won't go into specific detail but in a nutshell this person was saying that they used to find a lot wisdom in Wayne Dyer's work until they found out he left his wife and seven children to marry a younger woman and now in their eyes he had become just a selfish man who cast aside his family for his own lustful urges. In essence, he fell off his pedestal as a spiritual leader.
This comment, to be frank, irritated the shit out of me for several reasons.
For starters, I never felt it was my business to speculate on another person's relationship. If they want to end it, who am I to have any right to say anything especially if it's not MY relationship? I have no idea what went on in the private moments of that person's relationship.
People put on a good front A LOT especially when it comes to relationships because it's SHAMEFUL in our society if it doesn't work out ESPECIALLY because the "peanut gallery" always has something to say which brings me to point number two.
A LOT of people stay in relationships that aren't good for them because they're worried about what others' think. They will deny their OWN WELL-BEING just to do what they think SOCIETY and the court of public opinion (or their mother or their own ego or social media or their career or their social stature or…you get the picture) thinks they SHOULD do.
Many people stay stuck in relationships that are causing them severe emotional stress just to assuage the opinions of others and delay tending to their own well-being until the pain of staying is greater than the pain of being judged by others.
I find it a crying shame that we (as the court of public opinion) pressure others to stay in relationships/situations that aren't good for them based on our own uninformed perspective just to make ourselves feel better.
That said, this person's comment also got me thinking about how society views relationships overall and here's where I may make a few controversial statements but like the fierce Sagittarius that I am, I MUST speak my truth.
I must say that I disagree strongly with the ego-based values that many people in our society currently place upon relationships that say it's okay to treat your partner as a possession and to try to control their will and choices to adhere to my expectations of behavior to cater to my insecurities.
In my opinion, it's never okay to try to force somebody to do (or NOT do) something just to make ME feel better.
This is ego-based and it never works out in the end. I can guarantee that the other person will do one of two things (or both!)-become extremely resentful of my attempts to control them and/or secretly go do what they really want anyway.
What does this have to do with Wayne Dyer's life decisions you might ask? His PERSONAL decision to leave his marriage doesn't make him any less integrous as a spiritual leader in my opinion. In fact, I think it makes him MORE SO.
Navigating our personal relationships and staying true to what's right for our soul IS SPIRITUAL WORK and aligning with that inner truth IS the Soul Journey. Keeping up appearances to make others happy would display a LACK of integrity with ONESELF.
I actually hold no judgment for anyone who is stuck in that painful place of keeping up appearances. I was there myself for a LONG time.
Staying stuck, living in ambivalence and what I call "waffling" energy is the most painful and exhausting part. Maybe that's why I was so triggered by this Instagram commenter's judgmental attitude.
Judgment like that makes a hard situation even harder. I'm astute enough to realize that the Instagram commenter was coming from a wounded perspective-one who was hurt by abandonment-and, trust me, I empathize with that wound because I lived it myself. But since then, I have done a LOT of work to own my shit and heal myself.
This Instagram commenter may believe that it's not right to do what makes you happy if others suffer for it. But that suffering is often self-imposed brought about by the ego's expectations. "They were SUPPOSED to keep me safe. They PROMISED never to leave."
The truth is, safety is an illusion and true peace comes from within. We can end our own suffering when we take our power back. And we must not use our own wounds or ego-based fears as an excuse to interfere in another's right to choose what is right for them.
When we are truly empowered, nothing anyone else does can affect who we REALLY are.
Now, I do not advocate being an inconsiderate jerk (there's always a KIND way to say and do things) but the fact is when you choose to do what's right for you, people still might be hurt by your choices and they need to own their own stuff.
Who's more selfish? The person expecting you to not do what's right for you to make THEM happy or you trying to align with your own well-being?
Abraham Hicks talks about this concept at length in many of his/her recordings. If you are not in alignment with your source or inner truth (in the vortex), you will always try to control external circumstances and the behavior of others to make yourself feel better.
The thing is you have the power to make yourself feel better REGARDLESS OF THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS and you have the right to make yourself feel better REGARDLESS OF THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS.
Seek your connection to source. Make the soul journey to your inner truth and what's right for you.
Along the way, the opinions of others will and HAVE TO become irrelevant. When you are aligned with your inner truth you will not entertain anyone else's attempts to pull you out of your own sense of well-being.
They will call you selfish. Let them. They will (hopefully) eventually align with their own inner truth and what you do, say and choose will be irrelevant to THEIR well-being as well.
While connected to your inner truth, you can engage in all of your relationships from a place of freedom. Holding space for someone to be who they are authentically without trying to change them is the greatest gift you can give anyone starting with yourself.
When you hold space to be FREE to be yourself, you can do this for others. ESPECIALLY when they do something that threatens your sense of safety or security like choosing to leave the relationship.
When you become centered in self (not to be confused with the ego-based shadow version of self-centered) and aligned with your inner truth, your peace and well-being comes from within and not external circumstances.
Become so connected to source that you KNOW no matter what happens, the universe has your back and (to quote Abraham Hicks), "everything is always working out for me."
My point in all of this? Do not allow the opinions of others to keep you from doing what's right for you.

Yesterday he was walking through the park
On the way back from work it was getting dark
He saw autumn trees with their peeling bark
She was sitting on a bench
He didn't think she'd look twice you see
But she looked three times or so it would seem
The rain started up it began to teem
And she was getting drenched
She started to run but he caught up quickly
And he was wearing sunglasses it was hard to see
Then she hit him with a moving plea
Could I please share your umbrella
Well he just smiled and he let her in
And they walked through the rain like Siamese twins
He doesn't normally pick up girls he thinks it's a sin
He just not that sort of fella
She told him where she lived and she told him her name
And he tried her patience, she tried to play games
He wanted to be with her though his excuse was lame
I was going that way anyway
Her flat in a house it was three miles out
Right next to a train track and he had to shout
She said I'm a dancer, she twirled about
And asked him if he wanted to stay
His clothes were really wet he should have taken them off
But he was embarrassed 'cause he thought she'd laugh
But then she insisted when she heard him cough
She went to make some tea
And he was wearing just a towel to keep him warm
And he saw that she liked Somerset Maugham
She took the Guardian so she could be better informed
But she wasn't interested politically
She seemed rather nonchalant
Time went fast, time came to leave
But in that room he thought he was Adam, she was Eve
He wasn't lying and she wasn't deceived
And neither knew what to say
But everything seemed to be going down fine
Till she gave him a leaving sign
And he asked her 'Why?', he said 'Is the fault all mine?'
She just said 'No, I've had a bad day'
So he wandered back to town in the drizzling rain
And he wondered if he'd ever see her again
He wanted to walk with her down lover's lane
And it started to make him cry
'Cause his life was turning cartwheels, all his cards were down
In the circus of existence, he always played a clown
He wanted a slice of forever as he turned into town
And he felt her memory die
But today he was walking through the park
On the way back from work it was still getting dark
He saw autumn trees with their peeling bark
And she was still sitting on that bench

The St Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School today benefited from a generous donation of $20, 000 from the Eldorado Gold Mining Company, with principal Pauline Dempsey welcoming the financial support which she said would go a long way in supporting her school's reading and general learning objectives.
Noting that children learn at different rates, Dempsey said her school was focused on ensuring that its students were given the best chance to go on to high school.
"What is the point of education if children are not equipped with the ability to break down words they are unsure of and read them?" she asked, while warning that, "one size does not fit all!"
The funds are to be used to acquire new books for the school's library. The school is also looking to hire a teacher for its remedial learning programme.
President and Managing Director of the Eldorado Gold Mining Company Robert Bourque said they were pleased to contribute to the worthwhile venture after receiving a proposal from the principal.
"It is our belief that improved skills in reading are fundamental to learning thereby allowing young students to progress further in their studies and to reach their potential and hopefully their goals in life, " he said.

An ambitious but relentlessly arty and intellectual little theater company from Evanston comes up with the notion of turning Elmer Rice's 1923 thudding expressionistic drama "The Adding Machine" into (wait for it, wait for it) a brand new musical! A deadly serious musical! By a totally unknown composer from Milwaukee! The major Chicago critics love it! (Even though the characters are dead-eyed automatons who go by digits rather than names.) A visiting New York critic loves it!A New York producer reads the Chicago reviews of David Cromer's Next Theatre production, flies in to see the show, falls in love with this atonal Mr. and Mrs. Zero and the director's pitch-black staging, writes a big check and mounts a commercial production in New York -- where the principals from the original Chicago cast get more rave reviews, where Stephen Sondheim comes to see it, and where it's a great, big, fat, New York ...
Well, actually, the end of that Brooksian sentence has yet to be written.
But Joshua Schmidt and Jason Loewith's new musical version of "The Adding Machine," which opened here Monday at the appropriately gritty Minetta Lane Theatre in the West Village, has enjoyed some significant critical kudos this week.
In its Tuesday editions, the New York Times called the show "impossibly bleak, improbably brilliant" while Bloomberg's John Simon called it a "marvel" and declared that the show hit him "in the solar plexus." Even Cromer, a director not known for his cheery disposition, allowed a certain sense of satisfaction. "I'm a shot-glass-half-empty kind of guy," he said Monday. "But there seems to be some liquid."
"The people who help us at home," said Loewith, the artistic director of Next, "seem to be excited that their investment in us has paid off. This raises our profile and makes us a lot more competitive when it comes to getting funding to develop major new works."
Enthusiastic reviews or not, Rice's uniquely American experiment in Expressionism isn't likely to rival "Jersey Boys" in marketability or popularity. The show remains as dark as midnight at the bottom of a musical mine shaft. But it has good timing. On at least two counts.
Remarkable season
First, "The Adding Machine" is part of a remarkable Chicago year in New York, a season anchored by the unparalleled success of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company's production of "August: Osage County" on Broadway, but which seems now to have extended to all sectors of the Chicago theater community from Writers' Theatre ("Crime and Punishment") to the Hypocrites ("The 4th Graders Present an Unnamed Love Suicide"). Even a now-defunct Chicago theater, Pyewacket Productions, is sending a show to New York this season (Kate Harris' take on "The Conversation," opening next month at the 29th Street Repertory).
In New York, Chicago is hot -- and newly associated with disparate, serious, new theatrical work as distinct from merely in-your-face acting.
With "August" already outlasting worthy Broadway plays by such marquee names as Tom Stoppard, Aaron Sorkin and Conor McPherson (and counting), the cachet of one Chicago show clearly is now bleeding to the next.
But there's a second and more significant bit of good timing at work here.
With music by Schmidt and libretto by Schmidt and Loewith, Next's savvy artistic director, "The Adding Machine" has arrived in New York at a time when layoffs loom large in several quarters and when the lot of the steady, loyal-to-one-corporation working man has never seen more imperiled. Rice's Mr. Zero, who gets summarily replaced by the titular "new" technology after 25 years on the job, has hardly become an archaic figure. On the contrary, a whole lot of American workers are feeling like zero has become part of their name.
An ideal match
And Schimdt's score -- a fascinating blend of the atonal fugue and the mechanized melody with moving musical digressions into the optimistic possibility of life and love -- is an ideal match. So, too, is the lead actor, Joel Hatch, a relentlessly sympathetic Chicago performer who both strips down Mr. Zero to his existential core and simultaneously imbues him with both a sympathetic neediness and a sense that he could well represent a future version of ourselves.
With the help of Cromer's minimalist but coldly noir staging (with the odd welcome burst of visual wit), Schmidt and Loewith have shrewdly turned "The Adding Machine" into a kind of low-budget musical meditation on what happens to a man when his purpose, even a pointless purpose, is summarily removed.
Even in 1923, Rice captured how trouble at the office often goes on to poison a marriage. Lose your job and your home life probably sucks. Which is why Mr. Zero eventually becomes more interested in the young office-girl Daisy (the emotional and tuneful Amy Warren) than the cold-hearted Mrs. Zero (caustically played by Cyrilla Baer), who has her own permanent grayness. But even that affair is limited by the inevitable decline of those concerned and the consequences of killing the boss.
So, who knows, "The Adding Machine" might just strike a chord and end up lasting longer than Brooks' own "Young Frankenstein." And even if it lasts just a few weeks at the Minetta Lane, it still looks set to greatly raise the profile of both Schmidt, a remarkable young Midwestern talent, and Next, a long-lived Chicago-area theater that has overcome nagging financial problems and a prosaic theater space in Evanston and stuck to its creative guns. For years.
This is the theater's first foray to New York, and it did not take place without some angst. Board members at Next, which has overcome a past deficit but remains far from cushioned, declined lead producer Scott Morfee's offer to become co-producers of the New York show, although they will still get a small royalty on sales.
"Our board," Loewith said on Monday, "saw that as too much of a risk."
That's understandable. Most non-profits prefer to leave the gambling to commercial producers like Morfee.
On the way to opening night, many people involved in the show had troubles. Cromer, the Chicago-based director, had to cope with the death of his father in the days before opening. Schmidt, the composer, fell off a ladder, which, he said, "twisted like a pretzel," and injured himself. Influenza ran through the cast. But the show has been measurably improved in its transfer to the Minetta Lane -- a theater with more height and depth than Next's humble and wholly inadequate Evanston digs inside the Noyes Cultural Arts Center. The staging is tighter, the narrative crisper and the mood more intense.
On Monday night, philanthropist Jordan Nerenberg, a longtime Next board member and also one of its key donors, was surveying the lively scene in Greenwich Village with a mix of enthusiasm and amazement. Many in the cast of Steppenwolf's "August" (including Marianne Mayberry and Amy Morton) had shown up in support of their neighbor and the house also had a good smattering of transplanted Chicago actors and directors, all riding a wave.
"This gives us status," the energized Nerenberg said, admitting some surprise at how strongly the company's little show was being received. "We've now gone from a local base to a national base. We need to shake them up in Evanston. We need to make them understand back home what we've done and what we need."

So on day 2 of NewJob I've inherited a slight issue with SOLR. The DB team has a number of servers upon which they generate SOLR indexes. The servers aren't beefy enough to run multiple indexes at the same time (mostly since the datasets are gigantic). They want, therefore, a way to determine when a SOLR run starts/ends.
Does anyone know what sequence shows up in the logs for this? I've had the DBs tell me when they kick off runs and when they end, but there don't appear to be any unique log entries at those times that don't appear during times when runs theoretically aren't running (especially as runs must be manually triggered).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Hey! Interested to see a jatra?" Biswanath asked.
Jatrais a kind of theatre, where curtain is never drawn and one act moves seamlessly into another. Unlike in theatre, audience surround the stage from three sides. One side is kept open for entry and exit of actors. Jatra used to be very common in West Bengal. In rural Bengal troupes from city would come during festive seasons. Public could view their performance free of cost. One just have to show up. Jatrawould start late in the evening and will go on till early hours. Audience will finish their daily duties. Have their evening meal and settle in for the performance.
Boarding school where he was studying, arranged for jatra as part of cultural program. None, however, was on the agenda in coming future. So he asked perplexed, "What are you talking about? There is no jatragoing to be staged here."
"Not here you idiot! Outside, in the haat ground."In a rural Bengal village, community market place is known has haat.
"You must be joking! How are we going to go out? It is a week night. We have to be up by 4 am in the morning. You are the lead singer for morning prayers?" He fired back a volley of questions.
"Leave the details to me. You tell me are you coming or not?" Biswanath asked firmly.
"What if we are recognized? What if "buro" comes to know. He will cane us. He may even rusticate us." He asked again, with a lot of apprehension. Students used to refer hostel warden as "buro" or old man among themselves.
"Nothing will happen. Nobody will know. I have done it before. We shall go out and come back in time to attend morning prayers." Biswanath said confidendtly. "You decide if you want to come or not. Either way, do not go blabbering about to others".
"What is the play?" he asked still not decided.
"It is Baar Bodhu, based on a novel by Kalkoot" answered Biswanath.
In a missionary boarding school, jatra played annually were mostly of historical or religious orientation. There used to be no female actor in the team. Males used to act out female roles. So the temptation and attraction of seeing a famous play based on social setting, that too free of cost, was enormous. Besides, professional male and females actors would assume characters in the novel. Though it involved great risk, it also gave a feeling of exhilaration. So with a mixture of trepidation and excitement, he agreed to join Biswanath.
Those days hostel was not surrounded by high wall with guards at the gates. People were simple and trusting. On the D-day, they covered themselves in wrapper, tip-toed out of their room, climbed down a rain water pipe, negotiated a shallow canal and hit the main highway en route to village haat. There was a strange sense of excitement in the pit of stomach. A mixed feeling where thrill of flouting regulations got entangled with fear of being rusticated, if caught. They sat in the midst of rural crowd totally covered in their wrapper. Still, the city boys stood apart and a few villagers even asked "you are not from around here, are you?"
He did not really enjoy the jatra. He was afraid of being recognized or being caught. When jatra ended around 2 AM in the morning, he was relieved to be heading back. Finally, he came back to his hostel room and fell asleep. A sleep of a relieved boy, exhausted from mental tension. Looking back, it appears that there was every chance of being caught. Some friends could have ratted, superintendent could have take a surprise round, some locals could have reported. Fortunately, nothing happened, and he thanked his fortune.

But in the last four – since the passage of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare – Fish has seen a tectonic shift in the healthcare landscape. In May 2014, Mark wrote an article for FTI Journal, "A Road Map for Healthcare Convergence," detailing how providers need to remake themselves to change successfully from the traditional fee-for-service paradigm, in which reimbursement tracks to the quantity of services delivered, to a pay-for-value model in which having the capabilities to improve patient outcomes – and track that improvement – is critical. In September 2014, we helped Fish publish a version of his FTI Journal article in McKnight's, here.

Krabi town, thailand
Getting There:
We flew from Bali back to Singapore and then to Krabi Town for the cheapest flight but you could look into different options depending on your trip route!
Treat Yourself: Krabi La Playa Resort
This resort style hotel is a nice treat without a huge pricetag. Only a 20 minute drive to Krabi city centre this resort is more for those who want to relax and visit Nopparat Thara Beach or Ao Nang, Mueang Krabi District, Krabi, Thailand at Railay Beach.
Affordable: Chan Cha Lay Guesthouse
This self proclaimed "hip hostel" is great for budget backpackers. Close to the night market in Krabi Town, offers breakfast and day trips all over Krabi.
The two biggest attractions in Krabi Town (unless you do day excursions to beaches, parks etc.) are the Night Market and Wat Kaewkorawaram Temple.
Night Market - We loved wandering around this night market full of local foods, clothing, accessories and trinkets made by locals. Once you're in Krabi you can really ask anyone to direct you to the market.
Wat Kaewkorawaram Temple - A beautiful temple to visit during your quick stop in Krabi Town. We used Krabi Town to connect to Koh Phi Phi and only stayed for 1 day so these attractions were perfect to visit during our stay.

Well after nearly 12 months of obsessive planning, organisation, preparing, training jumps, fundraising, sponsorship proposals, gym work and faultless dedication from a huge team of people we were totally let down by the weather on the day.
In NZ it is illegal to skydive through cloud, you must have visibility to be able to jump. Our planned jump height was 2,100ft meaning any cloud on the day had to be above that height. Unfortunately we were met with drizzle in the morning, followed by extremely low cloud (600-900ft) most of the day which didn't burn off until the late afternoon when the howling Canterbury winds made conditions even more impossible.
Our contingency day, the following day, was forecast to be even stronger winds and just as much cloud. We are heartbroken to report that we were unable to get a single jump in either day.
HOWEVER we have to keep in mind that the whole point of the Hundred Jump Project was to raise money and awareness for the Canterbury Westpac Rescue Helicopter, and we are extremely proud to have delivered strongly on that goal. We recently presented the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust with a cheque for $10,057.40 thanks to all of your generous donations and our incredible sponsors.
We also brought an amazing team of people together and put skydiving in the spotlight across almost every mainstream media channel that exists in NZ, and we are very proud of that effort.
The short answer is yes, absolutely. The longer answer is that there are so many cogs to the wheel that are required to pull this off, and those cogs all take time and money to organise. We are currently formulating a plan for a 2nd attempt and this page will be updated as soon as we have a plan.

The Story of Minimus
As the owner of MESA LIFESTYLE, I work to reintegrate humans with their natural environment.
I specializing in eco consulting, art and yoga. All of my services are designed to inspire, empower and connect.
Minimus was created through the heart of a child. Since I was a young girl I have had the lifelong dream of building my own home. From the interior to the exterior, the furniture, the dishware, the utensils, all of it – with my own two hands.
As I have come of age to embark on such a venture, I find myself disenchanted by the carbon footprint and personal energy output involved in building and maintaining a conventional home.
I don't want to be tied down to one location. I don't own land. I don't want to be house poor.
So as an artist, as an Earth advocate, as an educator what do I do with this dream?
I bring it to life!
In summer of 2017 I decided to embark on my largest work of art to date. In reverence to Mother Earth and in honor of my true spirit I decided to create a home through a project to not only educate myself but to enrich my community. I created a modern, sustainable home designed to work in synergy with the natural world.
I created Minimus!
Today Minimus is used as an educational tool for raising consciousness about sustainability
and empowering individuals to make their dreams their reality.
Be a part of the journey!

Steve has been djing since 2001, and in the past years has been rocking almost every club in his region. He is serious and professional behind the decks: playing only with vinyl, he blends electro and house, techno and new wave, acid madness and pop appeal. Steve has produced together with Die Roh an album ("The Chasm") and one e.p ("Windy City") on Chiwax, and a solo 10" ("Planet Earth") on Rawax; these records have been fquickly gone out of stock and that have been acclaimed by the lovers of the classic Warehouse sounds.
In 2012 he has started the Riviera project and has founded the Muscle Records label, together with Lucretio, Dj Octopus, Caio, Madì Grein and Chevel. The label is a facility to spread what has been called "the sound of Brenta": a raw, nasty, machines powered clash of house and techno.
In 2012 he also released "The Dove Ultimatum" on Vae Victis Records, under the moniker of Durant: an unfriendly 12" of distorted electro and funky acid beats produced with Die Roh and Lucretio.
