(The gogobaroness Holiday Re-Run Series! The 3 part installment of my June trip to Seattle!)
Tuesday- overcast & famous drizzle - with sunny afternoon in between.
Breakfast #4 from Macrina Bakery - espresso chocolate hazelnut biscotti - I gifted them to Pati and Glen at Bell Harbor - it was fun to hang out with them first thing in the morning. I could totally get into this morning coffee chat thing.
Lost track of time and booked it over to Brainbridge Island Ferry further down the waterfront to meet up with Sophie on Bainbridge Island. We chatted up a storm catching up over coffee and she showed me the beach on the north side of the ferry. We also checked out Bainbridge Island Museum that opened up last year. The Book Binding and Cover exhibit was spellbinding.
We got lunch at Cafe Nola on Winslow Way and indulged and shared Bourbon with grapefruit juice, and Bourbon with strawberry and oranges. Food heaven was Scallops on cornbread for Sophie and Dungeness Crab Cheese Toast for me!
Sophie had to go back to take care of the dogs, in memory of Bainbridge Island I traveled with a sprig of flowers on the ferry ride back to Seattle.
For the entire time from Sunday I was thinking on the totes at Center for Wooden Boats made from sail and canvas fabric recycled from boats - I finally caved in and purchased the happy blue tote. Considering I spent so much time already on their docks - it felt right to support them and I ended up with my new jazzy tote!
Also I realized this was the last time I would be hanging out on my awesome dock - so I left the flowers to hang out on the dock for me.
My last meal I ended up at Twisted Pasty on 4th Avenue and Vine. Restaurant based off of Cornish Pasties I've been eyeing it as I walked through Belltown.
I ordered the Salmon with mushroom and asparagus for dinner and a Guinness stewed corned beef with potatoes and cabbage Pasty for the flight back to New York. The Cocktail of the evening was something they developed for a Book Club event at the restaurant and was such a hit they kept it on the menu - Earl Grey tea infused Scotch with honey, lemon and ginger beer. I enjoyed the aroma of the Earl Grey - my second round was only the Earl Grey tea infused 12 year Scotch with ice! My waitress MIchiko was amused (and told me) what such bubbly enthusiasm in I have in ordering Scotch on the rocks.
Did I mention I was the only person sitting outside again? Yes it was overcast - but it was not raining and refreshing - Seattleites sitting inside didn't know what they were missing out on.
But I did have company - a family decided to order the mixed berry pasty for dessert - but since it was a 21 and over establishment only their two highschool/ college looking son and daughter was not allowed in, I invited them to sit with me while their parents ordered dessert. They were a family from Kentucky visiting Seattle where their father used to serve on a military base, they've traveled to New York and now Seattle and amazed at how big these cities were, and dreamed of maybe being able to live in them. They were so well mannered with their hands on their knees - I yammered on about New York being like boot camp for living life. If you can survive New York you can take those survival skills and take them anywhere else.
Wednesday - overcast
I wake up early to pick up Breakfast #5 from Macrina Bakery - this time cranberry biscotti for Pati and Glen - I had the savory salmon Pasty leftovers for breakfast as I hung out one last time with them on the Bell Harbor office. We swapped emails and facebooks, they wished me safe travels and to see me again in Seattle sometime.
I finally experienced the Seattle Light Rail en-route to Seattle Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport. Thankfully the flight is on time.
To mirror my arrival in Seattle the Cabbie back to the apartment was a Sikh - inside Jimmy Fallon and the loud Yellow Cab channel was giving me a headache - so it turned it all off to notice he had some interesting music on,
"I like the music you have on the radio, can you turn it up for me?"
"Its not music"
"Oh, its prayer?"
"Yes, Prayer"
"Its very beautiful Prayer"
of Voice, harmonium, tabla and flute ensemble. It was a meditative way to reflect on my trip and emotions as I got jostled in the New York Cab ride back to the daily grind.
I had an absolutely fabulous time.

Wellness and beauty go hand in hand and wellness begins from the inside out, with IV therapy being the latest craze in wellness. Celebrities swear by it and use it to fight the flu, fatigue, jet lag and that morning-after hangover. Curious if getting a needle on your arm will pull you out of your slump and feel revived and refreshed like a normal Bali detox?
Intravenous (IV) Vitamin Therapy is the fastest way to give your body the nutrition it needs. The intravenous delivery method bypasses the intestines and thus allows higher dosages and concentrations of certain key ingredients to be absorbed by the body, to give you faster, more effective results.
IV therapies have been used by hospitals for decades, treating people who are dehydrated or too sick to eat properly. Advancements in therapies now make it possible to quickly improve vitamin deficiencies, rehydrate your body, and revitalize how you feel.
Reaping the vitamins and minerals from our food is a long and complex process. There are many steps that can be interrupted, and this is where vitamin IV therapy comes in.100 percent absorption is ensured through IV vitamin therapy because the vitamins and minerals can be administered directly to the blood. Therefore, many different types of patients can benefit from vitamin therapy, and much more efficiently than by taking food or medication orally.
Receiving IV Vitamin therapy has many benefits due to its quick and efficient replacement of deficient vitamins in the body. There are many reasons why people become deficient in vitamins and minerals either over a short period of time or over a period of time. People may become deficient in certain vitamins and electrolytes as well as fluids with rigorous workouts, alcohol use, changes in diets and more. IV vitamin therapy benefits are likely to vary from person to person. The benefits will depend on the health status of the person as well as a number of other factors.Aqua Health Spa in Canggu, Bali isn't just an IV hangover clinic. We offer all round detox and wellbeing therapies and treatments.
Some IV therapy benefits include:
Increased energy
Flu' & cold recovery
Reduced symptoms of stress
Improved hydration
Dengue Fever recovery
Regulation of the immune system, improving the symptoms of chronic illnesses and treating autoimmune disease flare-ups
Improved skin quality
Reduction in headaches
Improved symptoms of depression
Improved symptoms of asthma
Shortened recovery time for athletes, optimal performance, improved endurance
Relieves allergies

Amanda Knox's Parents to Face Trial in Italy for Libel
(ROME) -- The parents of Amanda Knox were ordered by an Italian judge Tuesday to stand trial for libel for saying in a newspaper interview their daughter had been mistreated by homicide police during a night-long interrogation.
Knox is appealing her murder conviction for the 2007 stabbing death of roommate Meredith Kercher. Part of her defense is that she was abused by police who grilled her for hours without an attorney present. She also claims the police cuffed her on the back of the head, denied her food and water, and yelled at her.
During that overnight interrogation, Knox told police she had a "vision" that she was in the cottage when Kercher was killed and heard her scream, placing herself at the scene of the crime. Although Knox tried to retract the statement the next morning, it was used as evidence against her in her trial which resulted in a 26-year prison term.
Knox, who is from Seattle, has since been charged with slander for saying the police were abusive.
Her parents, who repeated their daughter's explanation in an interview with Sunday Times of London in 2009, have now also been ordered tried for libel.
The trial date for the parents, Edda Mellas and Curt Knox, was set for July 4 in Perugia, Italy.
The preliminary hearing judge charged that "in particular, they said, contrary to the truth, that Amanda had not been assisted by an interpreter, that she hadn't been given food or water, that she had been abused both physically and verbally," and finally "that she had been slapped on the back of the head and threatened," according to the Italian news agency ANSA.

What Happiness Feels Like
Since returning to the States, I have turned to my journal time and time again, in order to relive some of the more intimate moments of my last four months. I keep going back to one entry that seems to encapsulate my entire experience, putting into words the kind of indescribable feeling that I have trouble relaying to the myriad friends and acquaintances that inquire about my time in Amsterdam. Since this blog has truly become a repository for all my thoughts and activities connected to abroad, I thought it might be fitting to end this literary journey with some literal journaling. Fair warning, it gets a little sappy.
April 17, 2014: Happiness
I just want to take a moment to revel in and record what happiness feels like. I am currently sitting at my desk in Amsterdam, with my window open, gazing on a beautiful, rainbow sherbet sunset, the backdrop to beautiful Dutch architecture and light-rimmed canals.
My life here is surreal, blessed, kissed by angels. I still have responsibilities and concerns and isolated bad experiences, but the majority of my day, I spend immersed in activities and pleasures of my own choosing. I live on my own time, unless traveling or with friends, but those situations constitute happiness in their own right.
I'm baffled by how much I love it here. I never expected to fall so in love with a place. I love the cobblestoned streets and the trees with the dainty green blooms. I love the canals and their little bridges and the moony lights that line them. I love the quirky and endlessly unique homes and buildings. I love the Dutch culture of moderation, family, and taking things slow. I love Dutch policy in its pragmatism and progressiveness.
There is so much cultural and aesthetic beauty here, and I wonder if I will be able to see with these eyes when I return to the U.S. I hope so. I want to be this happy for the rest of my life, no matter where I am.

Setting Up and Using the microRendu and Signature Power Supply
The microRendu takes no shelf space at all if you follow the recommendations and plug it directly into the USB Type B connector on the back of your DAC. The larger power supply ships with no power cord, but a Cardas power cord is optional. A cable (also by Cardas) which connects the power supply to the microRendu is provided. Sonore supplied a USB Type A-to-Type B adapter to connect the microRendu to the DAC. This adapter replaced a USB cable, and is only an inch or so in length. It's said to sound better than a USB cable, so that's what I used. Although the microRendu only weighs 4.8 ounces, Sonore recommends you support it when it is connected via the USB connector so that its weight doesn't strain the DAC's USB Type B input. What you use for support will depend on the individual DAC. When I used the low-slung Mytek Brooklyn DAC, I found that a single CD case was the right height to support the microRendu. Most of the review was done with my PS Audio DirectStream DAC with the Huron operating system installed; there, the USB connector was higher above the shelf surface, so a stack of three Herbie's Audio Lab Iso-cups turned out to be the perfect height. The support is up to your ingenuity and what you have available. An Audience Au24 SE LP powerChord, designed for powering digital components, connected the Signature Series power supply to the wall. Inexpensive but excellent Blue Jeans network cables, recommended by Sonore, connected the microRendu and other network gear to my home network.
The first microRendu I tried was DOA, so back it went. The second worked fine. The set-up process for the microRendu is somewhat unusual; after it's connected to the power supply, the network, and the USB cable, and turned on, go to another computer (your tablet will work fine) on the network and visit the website www.sonicorbiter.com where you'll see something like this:
This lets you know your microRendu has been identified and tells you the IP address for its web page. Click on the IP address and you'll go to your microRendu's main page, which looks something like this:
Now you need to pick the app you want to use to operate the microRendu. I started with the familiar built-in Roon Ready software, which when used with an external Roon Server, will play music files. The Roon Remote app was already installed on my iPad, and that's the actual Roon user interface, so I avoided a learning curve. While writing this review, I also used a copy of Roon running on a separate Windows 10 laptop—not the same one as the Roon Server laptop—as another remote. The ability to use a Windows computer as your remote is another advantage of Roon, possibly alleviating the need to buy a tablet for that purpose. When you're setting up Roon Server on your computer, set the output device on the network devices screen as the microRendu rather than a directly connected DAC as you normally do. You'll need to do the same thing for the Roon remote. A trial subscription to Roon is included in the microRendu box.
Although I think Roon is a terrific investment, for those who might balk at Roon's price, the microRendu can also be used with other software, so I tried the Music Player Daemon, or MPD, server app, a Linux program built into the microRendu. Linn's Kazoo, a free app for the iPad, can be used to control MPD. As I said earlier, the microRendu is only a playback device, so a server must be operating somewhere on the network to send files to the microRendu. In my network, a server app called MinimServer runs on the NAS drive where my music files are stored. MinimServer is very popular for music playback, and handles both PCM and DSD file types. When you buy a NAS, be sure a server app like MinimServer is installed on it, or available for it; I had to replace one NAS because it had no suitable server app, and my credit card is still whimpering. If you're shopping for a NAS, consider those from QNAP or Synology, both of which will run MinimServer.
The stated raison d'être for the microRendu is that it sounds better than a conventional computer, so to test that claim, I compared microRendu running Roon to my laptop running Roon. Actually, the laptop was used for both parts of the comparison, but for one comparison it was in the listening room connected to the DAC with a USB cable. The same laptop, running Roon Server, with output to the microRendu, is normally in my office near the NAS. Right off the bat, that added an occasional burst of fan noise from the Dell laptop—it's not terribly annoying, but it is audible. I followed Jesus R's advice to leave the microRendu powered up at all times. It got moderately warm, but never hot enough to worry about. The power supply remained at room temperature even when left on continuously.
Although I'm sure it was mostly operator error, the microRendu occasionally was a bit finicky about restarting when I was setting it up. Usually, I was able to fiddle with network gear to get it running again, but that sort of thing could be very frustrating to someone new to network music playback. Remember, when dealing with computers, rebooting solves many problems, even rebooting the NAS. Also, the manual is pretty limited, not covering several things that will be obvious to the experienced user, but bewildering to a digital newbie. I suspect the Sonore guys will disagree, since to them, like any computer whiz, it's a simple plug-and-play device, but I think it might be a bit challenging to a complete newbie. Fortunately, the Sonore guys were patient and responsive to my questions, which probably seemed naive to them.

Watching My Kids Grow Up and Away
The moment you add an event to your calendar titled "Dylan & Dad's College Road Trip" you know that emotions are going to be a bit messy.
Not as messy as last week when an entire week worth of Senior events was added including one titled "Dylan Graduates."
We even had to go and buy him his first suit since he now has a date to his senior prom
Yes, my not so little boy is nearing the end of his mandatory education and headed into the next phase of his life.
He isn't the only one growing up.
Emily went to the junior prom this week. My little girl is now a young woman. When did that happen?
As a parent, you live for milestones. They break your heart, but also make you smile.
We joke about the changes coming to our family, and for the most part, all I do is smile about them.
But, at the same time that I know this is a natural progression for a family, I know that it is going to hit me harder than I want it to.
I think back to the night I left my parents house to move to Virginia. I know how hard that was for me and now I'm beginning to understand how hard it must have been for them.
Funny how many things come into focus once you become a parent. A number of little things you took for granted that are now of vital importance.
While in my heart I'm mostly sad about the changes ahead, I'm also extremely excited by them.
Every day I'm reminded that Laura and I have done a good job raising these kids to be the adults we hoped they'd grow up to become.
Who knows what lies ahead for each of them, but I'm excited to see.

Yair Harel visits CBS for Kabbalat Shabbat/
Join Israeli performance artist, musician, and community organizer, Yair Harel, for a special musical Kabbalat Shabbat on Friday evening, April 8.
Piyyutim (Hebrew liturgical poems) were chanted for centuries throughout the Diaspora. The poems have been adapted to different melodies, evolving into a form of Jewish "world music" in Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East. This singing tradition, a core component of synagogue practice, has also entered secular life in Israel through public performances, workshops, and performing arts festivals.
Yair is active in the revival and contemporary interpretation of this ancient art of liturgical Hebrew poetry, and he will perform and teach a selection of these piyyutim when he visits CBS.
If you'd like to listen to some piyyutim before Yair's visit, click here.

New Parenting Therapy, Postpartum Disorders, Infertility, Loss
Are You Currently Struggling?
The journey of family planning and expanding can be a very tough and complicated time in many people's lives. There can be various stressors and difficulties (sometimes unexpected) that take place throughout these years. Unfortunately, these major issues and events often go unspoken, despite how common they actually are.
Are you struggling with an issue such as:
Loss (such as miscarriage or stillborn)
A Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorder (PMAD):
Such as Postpartum Depression (PPD), Postpartum Anxiety (PPA), or,
Depression/Anxiety experienced during the prenatal or pregnancy stages
Feeling overwhelmed with the life transition into new motherhood/fatherhood
Relationship issues triggered by the major transition into new parenthood
Find Healing and Support Through Therapy
Whichever of these issues or events you may be experiencing, it can certainly feel like an exceptionally challenging time in your life. My hope is that you will engage in therapy and begin to recognize that there is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. The stigma associated with such issues, often acts as a barrier to people seeking treatment. Yet all of these experiences can be an extremely isolating time for both women and men. Please know that you do not need to go through this alone, that there is no shame in seeking treatment and that help is here.
Infertility and Loss Are Very Common
Are you feeling sad, confused or overwhelmed due to infertility issues, pregnancy complications or the trauma of a miscarriage or stillborn? Challenges and traumas such as infertility and loss are unfortunately very common.
According to The Seleni Institute:
Infertility: Ten to fifteen percent of couples experience infertility each year. Women who are dealing with infertility, can actually feel as anxious or depressed as those diagnosed with cancer
Loss: One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage
"I have suffered a loss and feel like many of the comments that people make just cause me to feel worse"
Unfortunately, while people may not actually intend to speak in an insensitive or dismissive manner, this is exactly what they may end up doing. Many people do not fully understand the trauma and significant depth of pain that is associated with a loss such as a miscarriage or stillborn. Receiving such insensitive responses from others may cause a person who is already suffering to further isolate and keep their feelings within. This is an especially important time for one to engage in counseling in order to cope with this loss in a safe and supportive setting.
Are you Suffering with Postpartum Depression or Anxiety?
"I thought that Being a New Parent was supposed to be the happiest time of my life. I feel anxious and depressed the Majority of the time and have been too ashamed to admit it. What's happening to me?"
It is possible that you are suffering from Postpartum Depression and/or Anxiety. If this is the case, please recognize that you are not at all alone in feeling this way. It is so much more common than most people realize and is also highly treatable.
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs, which include Postpartum Depression) are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Twenty percent of pregnant and postpartum women experience clinically significant mood and anxiety disorders.
Fathers experience hormonal and emotional transitions into parenthood and may suffer from such disorders as well.
Engaging in therapy can help to treat your symptoms as well as provide you with a safe space to process any shame that you may be experiencing. It is unfortunate that stigma still appears to play a role with such disorders but I can assure you that with an effective and empathic therapist, this will not be the case.
Are You Overwhelmed By New Parenthood?
Are you overwhelmed with the stress associated with becoming a new parent? It is completely normal to experience anxiety, confusion, stress and other unpleasant emotions related to new parenthood. Or maybe, you have started caring for your new child, but you and your partner spend much of your time worrying about whether you are making the best decisions as new parents. Have you felt like you lost your identity other than your role as a new mom or dad? Do you wish you could find a space to explore your concerns and learn effective solutions to your parenting struggles?
These thoughts and feelings are all too common amongst new parents, and yet, it often seems that all anyone ever talks about is how "magical" and "wonderful" new parenthood is! Meanwhile, parenthood is one of (if not the) most challenging life transition that one will ever experience. Up until this point, you may have felt very accomplished in your areas of expertise, which usually comes with years of training and experience. And now, here you are, expected to jump directly into this new and not to mention, very difficult role, with no training or experience and a huge smile on your face. When you say it aloud, this does not actually sound very realistic, does it?
The good news is that having a non-judgmental therapist to process these thoughts and feelings with can be very effective in better coping with this major life transition.
"I don't feel especially anxious or depressed however, I don't love every moment or day of parenting. Does this make me a bad parent?"
This certainly does not make you a bad parent. You are human and are entitled to have mixed emotions over the hardest job in the world. Some days are stressful, tiring and very difficult. It is a huge transition to live much of your life focused on yourself and your own wants/needs and then suddenly put yourself on the back-burner each and every day. Cutting yourself some slack as a parent is very important. In addition to processing your feelings in therapy, it can be helpful to have another parent friend in your life who can relate to the challenges of parenting, especially one that can share a sense of humor in it all. Having such an outlet can be very refreshing.
Self-care is also extremely important. Setting aside some time for yourself, as difficult as this may seem, is very helpful in better managing and coping with the challenges of parenthood. Self-care is an area that we would focus on in therapy as people often tend to avoid prioritizing such time for themselves when they are actually most in need of it.
Are You Experiencing Relationship Issues?
"It seems like we're suddenly Arguing all of time. is our relationship doomed?"
Not at all! Most couple's struggle to some extent upon expanding their family. You are likely both feeling pretty exhausted, stressed out and as though you have little or no time for yourself, let alone for your relationship. Prioritizing your relationship again (even in very small doses) can be extremely helpful. It is important to remember that you are on the same team as you parent together. Although your relationship may not feel exactly as it once had, it can still be filled with love, happiness and intimacy.
Engaging in relationship therapy, or couple's counseling, can be very useful during this major life adjustment. It can help you to communicate effectively, to learn how to prioritize your relationship in a realistic and effective way and to maintain a healthy and happy connection with one another.
Find Understanding, Build Confidence And Hope
If you are ready to learn effective techniques to help you through the challenges associated with infertility, loss, postpartum depression/anxiety or the transition into new parenting, please contact me. I'm happy to answer your questions and discuss how therapy can offer you guidance and hope. I offer an environment where you can feel supported and no longer feel isolated, on your path to wellness. Having an empathic and non-judgmental therapist to process these thoughts, feelings and stressors with, can be very effective for treating and better coping with such life traumas, struggles and transitions.
You can heal and feel like yourself again…we can work together to help you get there.

What position should a Local Union take if a Member asks to audio record a meeting or if a Member simply start recording the meeting while it is in progress without asking for permission?
With the proliferation of electronic equipment in today's world, any Member attending a meeting can record the meeting.
A Member may want to record a meeting so that he can review the recording later to ensure that the minutes of the meeting are accurate and complete. A Member may want to record a meeting so that he can prove the Local is not treating him fairly. However, when a Member turns on an audio recording device at a meeting, other Members may feel intimidated. Member may be afraid of saying something that is legally wrong and may not want to talk at the meeting if their every word is recorded.
How much privacy a person is entitled to in our society is the subject of legislation both federal and state. However, this legislation is geared towards dealing with the issue of privacy and government record keeping and private communications intercepted by the police.
How about the Local Union recording the meetings?
Just as important for the Local Union to encourage the free exchange of ideas and information of all the Members. It is the DUTY and OBLIGATION of the elected Officers of the Local Union to facilitate, preserve information and keep accurate records for the "benefit of the membership".
Ever Member attending a general meeting of the Local Union should be aware that the Union has an obligation to ensure that accurate minutes of meetings are kept, including deliberations, decision-making and the results of any votes. Therefore, by attending Local Union meeting a Member is submitting to a certain amount of required record keeping. Having a recorded audio of the meeting would assist the Local Unions Recording Secretary, who is the elected Officer ultimately responsible for achieving this obligation. Having incorrect or inaccurate minutes creates serious issues for the Local Union and the Membership.
The Local Unions minutes must be made available to all Members, would it not be appropriate for the Local Union to audio record the meetings for the benefit and protection of the Membership?
However, Members may be much more intimidated if they are being recorded than if they know that Local Union is taking minutes of the meeting by hand or on a laptop computer.
It is the outcome of any discussion, decisions and votes at Local Union meetings that have lasting effect on the Local Unions operations and the Members. Is it not in the BEST interest and betterment of the Local Union and the Members that the outcome of these meetings discussions, decisions and votes be audio recorded for accuracy, details and an archived record of events?
The Local Union and the Members should allow meetings to be audio recorded for the benefit, betterment and protection of the Local Union and the Membership. We are in 2012 not 1912 the audio recording of meetings is best practices in today environment.

Instead of a local president standing against the delegate meeting deficiencies, which he personally witnessed on a 90% basis, and calling that what it is, a monster of unbearable proportions Jesus he doesn't even use the words ensure transparency. Your audio recordings, in case ya didnt know contain the material which should be used to remove everyone of those DC idiot that spoke to us over the last three years.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ya've got the delegate body how many times violationg the by law over the last yeas WHAT GOOD OF YOUR RECORDINGS, WHAT ?ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing such wonderful information! Don't forget to keep a healthy life by consuming healthy food and doing exercise regularly is the best healthy formula.ReplyDelete
I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn't say anything on this site that you wouldn't, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.

Gato Bedseyele was forced to flee Angola in 1986 and now lives in Belgium. A founding member of the Angolan group Afra Sound Stars, he left his war-torn country with just $50 USD in his pocket after deserting the army.
Gato had been forcibly recruited several times, the first time aged 12. Believing he was wasting his life, he headed to Brazil, Portugal and then Belgium.
He struggled in exile. "Music has allowed me to survive. I don't know where I'd be without it."
A songwriter and multi-faceted musician, Gato sings in Portuguese, French, Kikongo and several other languages. He has made several albums, and played with Brazilian star Gilberto Gil, and Angolans Bonga and Felipe Mukenga.
He had hoped to study, "to become somebody, maybe a journalist or a lawyer". Now Gato wants to see refugee children complete their studies and 'have dreams for the future".
The hardships an immigrant faces in a new country include integration, long working hours, xenophobia. A new immigrant looks for work to earn money and send it back to the family he left behind.
He is now part of the Sairy Band, a group formed by African musicians from many different countries led by Malagasy musician Miary Lepiera.

On Thursday, March 1, Tyler, the Creator was greeted by a loyal fanbase at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison.
Taco of Odd Future opened the show with a set of household names like Kendrick Lamar and M.I.A. His DJing was accompanied by sexual imagery and obscure anime visuals that kept the audience entranced. He was successful in his attempt to excite the crowd, and after his opening performance many were eagerly anticipating the talents of Vince Staples.
After a long anticipated wait, Vince Staples took to the stage, and fans greeted him with loud applause. Similar to Taco, Vince Staples took the route of complimenting his performance with glitched out visuals all collaged together in a sort of abstract narrative. Staples ran though tracks from his largely celebrated Big Fish Theory as well as his other three albums including "Homage" and "Blue Suede." The beats in many of his songs felt urgent, and Staples' stamina could clearly be felt. The crowd mirrored his energy, and everyone was jumping as Vince delivered banger after banger.
The audience then waited patiently for the headliner to make his entrance. Fans chanted his name and shuffled around, but didn't dare give up their spot close to the stage. Finally, the curtain on stage lit up in shapes of swirling foliage, and the crowd was startled by the ethereal presence. Instrumentals reminiscent of Broadway accompanied the display, and the crowd waited in anticipation for the curtain to drop, equating Tyler to that of a theater star.
When the curtain finally dropped, everyone's eyes darted to Tyler, his back turned away from the crowd. The stage was littered with artificial trees and plants. It was as if it were set for a modern rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream instead of a Tyler, the Creator show. Then, almost as if trailing after the instrumentals from before, "Where This Flower Blooms" began to play. The audience roared in excitement, and Tyler hyped the crowd up with his on-brand eclectic dancing. He wore a bright green construction vest with a cherub drawn on the back, which only furthered the irony of his image.
As he moved through his set, the audience caught glimpses of the more serious Tyler we have come to expect from the release of Flower Boy. "Foreword" from his new album contained lyricism that leans towards the introspective and self-aware. Lyrics like, "Cause if that cop got tricky, he better pull / Cause when I get pulled over, I usually play it cool/ Cause I know what I'm driving is usually paid in full / And my ego and possessions, will not let me be one…" make the audience consider politically sensitive ideas. The traditionally rowdy, haughty Tyler was replaced with a boy who spoke earnestly and with understanding. Instead of a thoughtless rant, the audience got a cordial serenade.
While the music and genius itself may have felt earnest, the performance as a whole seemed somewhat manufactured. Tyler, the Creator is one of the most relevant artists to come to Madison in the past few months, and with popularity comes the washing out of creative identity. As much as Tyler promoted and stayed loyal to his brand, much of the performance felt rehearsed. Whether or not this is a flaw is up to individual taste, but it can't be denied that Tyler's theatrics felt somewhat scripted.
The set wrapped up with "See You Again", and the crowd was able to fall in love once again with the sweet platitudes of Flower Boy. The night closed out on a honeyed note, and many were satisfied with varied nature of Tyler's set.

When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ. (Luke 4:40-41)
What do you do when night-time is approaching? When night-time came, Jesus was busy serving others, loving them and healing them. Even when He was probably tired, he did not group them and made a one-time healing. He took the time to address them one by one. This tells us a lot about the love of Jesus for us as individuals. Each person is important to Him.
He also used His voice to cast out demons. The Lord used every resource he had at His disposal to help others: His touch, His voice, His message, His love. The demons knew who He was and in a way, they proclaimed His name. How about you? Do you know Him personally? Do you proclaim His name?
Christ loves me and tends to my needs as an individual. His love has no end and does not change. In the same way, with God's help, I'll love others with an unchanging love, no matter the hour of the day or how I feel. I will use all that God has given me to serve, help, and love others. I will proclaim His name through my life.
"Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so." (Prov. 3:27-28)

MCIAA's debut self-released recording, a cd-r edition of 30 copies painted and wrapped in electric wire, immediately thrilled Sonic Youth and two months later the two brothers made their live debut as support to SY 1998 Italian tour. During the past years MCIAA have been invited several times to perform live at Sonic Youth European tours, Kim Gordon and Jim O'Rourke's soloist shows. In 2000 MCIAA opened the Torino BIG (International Biannual Of Young Artists) with a special audio visual performance.
In 2005 MCIAA performed at the "Music Lovers' Field Companion" festival at the Sage Gateshead in Newcastle (UK) alongside a special dual-film projections created by Roberto Opalio appositely for the occasion; at the CCA (Center of Contemporary Arts) in Glasgow with Jandek and Keiji Haino, and at the "Cosmopolis" festival at Galeria Zé dos Bois in Lisbon with Rafael Toral. The same year MCIAA toured Europe as special line-up of Jackie-O Motherfucker with founder member Tom Greenwood, and performed in Italy with Keiji Haino.
In March 2006 MCIAA took part at the K-raa-k Festival at Kustencentrum Belgie in Hasselt (Belgium).
In May 2006 they will perform at the Victoriaville Festival de Musique Actuelle (Québec, Canada).
MCIAA's international debut album was released in 2002 by Thurston Moore on his own Ecstatic Peace label; until now, several CDs and LPs have been released on Eclipse Records (USA), Very Friendly/ Cargo UK, Important Records (USA), Last Visible Dog (USA), Starlight Furniture Co.(USA), Free Porcupine Society/ Revolver USA, U-Sound Archive (USA), Time-Lag Records (USA), Gold Soundz (NOR), Rococo Records (USA), PseudoArcana (NZ), Sloow Tapes (B), Ikuisuus (FIN), Rebis (USA), A Silent Place (ITA), Root Strata (USA), Esquilo (PT), Foxglove/Digitalis Industries (USA).
In July 2004 MCIAA started on Opax Records a series of special ART-split LPs called "From the earth to the Spheres", featuring the Italian duo alongside outsider artists such as Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke, Jackie-O Motherfucker, Christina Carter, Thuja, Glands of External Secretion with Nels Cline, and Christian Marclay & Okkyung Lee. Each sleeve has been conceived as a proper 31x31cm Roberto Opalio's original painting on wood support. Because of the great success of the project, Very Friendly/ Cargo UK is re-issuing the whole series on CD format.
The "From the earth to the Spheres" split art series has been included in The Wire's "Avant Rock" 2004 Top 10 playlist (issue # 251, December 2004).
MCIAA's articles, interviews and extended reviews are featured on the most important international music magazines like The Wire (UK), The Sound Projector (UK), Dream Magazine (USA), Arthur Magazine (USA), The Ptolemaic Terrascope (UK), Dusted Magazine (USA), Foxy Digitalis (USA), Stylus Magazine (USA), Noiseweek (USA), Industrial (USA), Blow Up (ITA), Rumore (ITA), Il Mucchio (ITA), Gaz-Eta (PL), Indieworkshop (USA) and many more.
MCIAA's "The Cosmological Eye Trilogy" 3CD set on Last Visible Dog has been mentioned by Foxy Digitalis magazine's editor Brad Rose as the best record of 2005 in the "Anthology" section.
Both Maurizio and Roberto Opalio has soloist projects too. In 2005, together with their close collaborator Ramona Ponzini, they set up the acoustic ensemble PAINTING PETALS ON PLANET GHOST whose debut album has been released on Time-Lag Records (USA), as well as the duo called PRAXINOSCOPE.
Still in 2005 Roberto has been invited to contribute one of his original paintings for one of The Wire magazine's exclusive limited art t-shirts.
In March 2006 MCIAA have been invited from The Wire Editor-in-Chief & Publisher Tony Herrington to contribute a piece of music, plus a Polaroid by Roberto Opalio, to a volume of his art-box series entitled "Joint Multiples".
In March 2006 MCIAA have planned a new series of split ART-LPs limited to 100 copies called "Cosmic debris", which will be released on Opax Records starting from Spring 2006 on, and which will feature the Italian duo alongside artists such as Stan Brakhage's films mixed media performing ensemble Text Of Light (Lee Ranaldo, Christian Marclay, Alan Licht, William Hooker, Tim Barnes, Ulrich Krieger, Dj Olive), Californian audio visual artist and composer Steve Roden, Swedish avant-saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, avant-blues living legend Loren Mazzacane Connors from NY, and Japanese dark shaman improviser Keiji Haino.
Each record will come alongside an acrylic painting by Roberto Opalio on 30x30cm proper canvas, with a unique Polaroid installed on each piece, representing 100 different perspectives of a same subject.

Going green? Specifics, please.
Many advertisers talk about their commitment to sustainability and the environment and, in turn, many consumers have grown skeptical of those claims. If you are a marketer, how can you make your green advertising more believable?
A new study in the Journal of Advertising Research suggests that the more specific the green claims, the more believable they are – and this holds true across a range of product categories.
In other words, the research found that a claim such as, "This battery is free from toxic heavy metals and is 98 percent recyclable" was more credible than something like, "This battery is kind to the environment and to the planet."
As the authors point out, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been urging consumers to think this way for 25 years. (For example, when a brand says a product is recycled, that could mean the product, the packaging or both. It could mean that only a small percentage was recycled. It is also important to understand where it was collected from.)
One limitation of the research is that study participants were simply exposed to green claims in isolation, not in the form of real consumer-facing ads. The study doesn't take into account other aspects of creative execution, so making an emotional connection with those claims, supporting them with appropriate imagery, and embedding them within a suitable narrative is still important. However, all else being equal, the research says specific is better when it comes to green messaging.

Wipro files complaint over threatening letter from unknown source
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 6 (ANI): IT Major Wipro on Saturday registered a complaint with law enforcement authorities in Bengaluru after receiving a threatening e-mail from an anonymous sender on Friday. Soon after the letter was received, Wipro released a statement saying that a complaint has been filed, adding that all necessary security measures were implemented with immediate effect to ensure the safety of its employees. "Have filed a complaint with the local law enforcement authorities after receiving a threatening letter from an unidentified source. Have augmented security measures at all our office locations. There is no impact on the company's operations," the statement read. Meanwhile, via the e-mail, the perpetrators demanded Rs. 500 crore worth currency in bitcoins, through a specified web address by May 25. On failing to pay the designated amount, the miscreants threatened to spread a toxic protein drug in the company's campus. Reportedly, the sender disclosed possessing a large amount of high-quality Ricin, a drug known to cause severe damage if consumed or inhaled, which he threatened to release in the campus. The e-mail also stated that the company would allegedly receive a small amount of this drug as a warning of the repercussions it may face on non-payment of the aforementioned amount. (ANI)

Purpose :
To evaluate the variation of blur detection thresholds (BDT) and the lag of accommodation before and after wearing orthokeratology lenses in myopic children.
Methods :
Twenty-two myopic children of 8-14 years old (spherical equivalent:-1.00D to -5.75D with astigmatism ≤0.75 D, best-corrected visual acuity ≥20/20), corrected with orthokeratology lenses, participated in this self-controlled prospective study. Their visual acuity after orthokeratology correction was not less than 20/20. The subjects' blur detection threshold, accommodative lag, and higher-order aberrations were measured before and after one-month wearing orthokeratology lenses. All the data were analyzed with SPSS 19.0 software.
Results :
Higher-order aberrations increased significantly (t=-9.166, P<0.05) after orthokeratology correction, with higher trefoil (t=-2.716,P<0.05) and higher coma (t=-4.464, P<0.05). The BDT decreased significantly after orthokeratology correction by 0.08D (t=2.527,P<0.05). No significant change in the accommodative lag was found after wearing orthokeratology lenses (before 0.39±0.42D, after 0.19 ±0.38 D; t=1.862,P>0.05) . There was no significant correlation between blur detection threshold and accommodative lag either before (r=-0.364. P>0.05) or after (r=0.097, P>0.05)orthokeratology correction. Similarly, no correlations between BDT and higher-order aberrations were found.
Conclusions :
After orthokeratology correction, the blur sensitivity of myopic children improved while their accommodative behavior remained unchanged.

Proper Way To Fall
Category: News
I know we have all been in situations where one minute we are upright and the next minute we are on the ground! A fall can happen so quickly and can affect our lives forever. There is an art to falling which I was reminded of when I read the AARP magazine recently. The article, written by Michael Zimmerman, gives four simple steps to falling as follows:
- Stay Bent
- Protect your head
- Land on the meat
- Keep falling
Check out his article in the AARP The Magazine/Real Possibilities (www.aarp.org)! Always be mindful of your surroundings and carry your cell phone in case you need to make an emergency call.

1. Thanks, Grocery Outlet cashier, for plugging in my birth date as 1/21/1949 when I was buying a 12-pack of Mike's Hard Lemonade.
2. Of course, after seeing that date on the receipt, I went home and drowned my sorrows by drinking all 12 in one sitting.
3. What? I could have. I'll have you know I managed 21 kamikazes on my 21st birthday. Yeah-huh. Sure did.
4. I don't remember much of my 21st year, though. You think there's a connection?
5. The new principal at the elementary school -- whoo-hoo no more interim co-principals to annoy the crap out of me -- has taken to sending out missives to all the parents via email.
6. Her latest: Thank you to those individuals who remember to pull all the way forward when picking up their children after school. I try to be outside as much as possible but I am focusing on student safety instead of monitoring traffic. When a car stops in front of the school, it backs everybody else up. If we all do our part, everyone will get in and out in a more timely fashion. Thank you for your support.
7. Of course! That's all we needed to solve the freakin' clusterf&*k known as the dreaded circle.
8. In other school news, one of the two or three top emotionally challenged kids at the school had a meltdown during lunch yesterday.
9. The cause of said meltdown? He was teasing a little first grade girl about her juice box with a photo of Clifford on it, calling her a baby and such, and bringing her to heaving sobs and tears.
10. When he was brought to task on it, he had a trantrum, refusing to budge and kicking over trash cans. "Ignore him," was the advice of the principal. Why didn't I think about that? Another problem solved.

I guess the new principal learned those behavior tricks from all the classes he or she had to take to get his or her degree? Uh-huh that is a great way (not) to handle inappropriate behavior. My Hubs tells students that he has no toilet paper handy for them. Oh yeah, and he is at school 3 hours extra on Saturdays to help those with low reading (for free). Sorry for the rant! But I loved yours!
