An Exploration of Bioregional Herbalism
with herbalist & forager, John Slattery
Prescott, AZ
Saturday, October, 28, 2017
Learning to become a bioregional herbalist is as simple as going for a walk... again and again... and again. Deep connection through continued observation is the foundation for a bioregional herbalist. Knowledge is derived from experience, and wisdom through continued practice and observation of one's environment. Learning about the plants found naturally occuring around us begins to deepen our relationship to place. Little by little, patterns begin to emerge which inform us as to how we can use plants for medicine.
If you are called to develop relationship with the plants around you for food and medicine, but unsure how to begin, then this class is just for you. Also, if you have been gathering knowledge about the plants around you, but would like to go deeper, this workshop is also for you.
In this workshop we will explore the fundamental aspects of becoming a bioregional herbalist: developing relationship with place and the plants within it. This endeavor leads us to the study of field botany, respectful wildcrafting and participation with our environment, plant energetics, landscape observation, developing and exercising the senses (particularly the feeling sense), and applying these medicines for well-being and healing utilizing our knowledge of our homeland and plant energetics. Several plants will be identified, sensorily explored, and discussed in depth.
We'll venture into this terrain together as a group, while exploring various aspects of what becoming a bioregional herbalist means. The exercises in this workshop will introduce the participant to a method of learning which is empowering, distinctly individualized, unusually contextual, and highly experiential.
Whether your path is simply one of curiosity or you feel a deep, inexplicable pull to walk this road, you will find powerful tools in this workshop to realize what you are after.
There are many important aspects of becoming a bioregional herbalist. First and foremost is a deep relationship with the place you are in. As an herbalist, our focus is primarily on plants, but we can diffuse our focus peripherally into the landscape which contains and nourishes these plants to pull in a broader context. This workshop ties together pragmatic approaches to learning about our environment with the feeling relationship that extends to all living things. This feeling relationship is as real for us as any data or information conveyed by the experts in this field. We simply need to pay attention to it.
We'll take the time to explore the basics of identifying plants in the field according to the science of botanical taxonomy. This will offer the participant an intimate perspective on the plants we work with while enlivening the curiosity of the students. We'll also be exploring plant energetics with the plants we meet while viewing, experiencing, and ingesting preparations made from these plants. This workshop is a full immersion in the experience of learning plants as medicine; plants as living entities.
Join bioregional herbalist, John Slattery, for this intensive workshop to begin to transform your approach to working with plants. Starting in your own backyard you can become a master of the wild food and medicine that grows within arm's reach. Then begin to branch out with the basic principles and practices learned in this workshop to continually learn more about your local environment including unique ways to apply the herbal medicines you learn about. Developing relationship with your local plants while learning to identify them can open up many opportunities for gaining unique knowledge about the plants you work with, and support further research into the ethnobotany and scientific research of other cultures across the globe.
Our class will take place in the Prescott National Forest. Upon registration, you'll receive detailed instructions for our meeting location (within 30 minutes of downtown Prescott) the morning of the class and anything you may need to bring with you for the day.

Sexy babe, Kandi Cox, loves sucking on a fat juicy cock, and that is exactly what you get to enjoy today. Our bubbly milf is joined by yet another hottie, because she gets so turned on by a juicy, fresh piece of meat near her face, she just can't help herself but to bring it close to her delicious full lips, caress it with her tongue, and take it all in her mouth, that's her soft spot.
She grabs our hunk, pulls him toward her, unzip his pants and gets down on her knees, for his massive hard cock. Kandi places that hot piece between her big suckable jugs, and dives on it passionately and insatiably, sucking it all in down her throat, up to his balls, pulling and licking it just with her warm lips and nasty tongue. He grabs her by the hair, pulling her closer, as he just loves shoving his hot hard cock in, hammering her soft palate and feels it's getting bigger and harder in her mouth. Our milf just loves to please, and the thought of his mouthwatering spunk, gets her even more aroused and tingling. She's blowing him until he finally shoots his load and gives her a creamy, tasty mouthful of delicious jizz. Enjoy!

In this special edition of the Full Court Press, the Back Page talks to the Harvard women's lacrosse team, which earned its first victory over Princeton since 1992 in April. Now in the midst of offseason training, the Crimson is working to ensure that its play in the upcoming season is reminiscent of a man-eating alligator. But the laxers took some time to reflect on their love of lattes and their fear of mice. Every week, The Full-Court Press will give you the sort of personal scoop that you're not likely to hear at a typical press conference.
Stats: The women's lacrosse team ended its 2010 campaign on a winning streak, taking four of its last five games to finish the season with an 8-7 overall mark and a 3-4 showing in conference play. Harvard will open its 2011 season in Palo Alto, Calif., where it will take on Stanford on February 26.
1.Typical pre-game meal.
Latte and a peanut butter sandwich.
2. List four songs your team listens to before games to get pumped up.
"Midd Kid," "Bedrock," "Swing" by Savage, and "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan.
3. Favorite team to play against and why?
This is what we hope we will do to ALL teams this year.
4. Most ridiculous thing that has taken place in your team's locker room.
The mouse we tried to capture which then escaped only to reappear in someone's locker. As for pranks—hiding in a laundry bin or behind snow banks just to scare upperclassmen strolling in. Also buying a fake mouse to relive the above story.
5. Most embarrassing moment on the field.
We fall sometimes...actually quite a bit.
6. Animal that best represents your team's style of play and why.
Cheetah—not quite king of the jungle, but fast, scrappy, hardworking, and pretty.
7. Most ridiculous thing you have heard a fan yell at a game you were playing in.
Unfortunately, we don't get too many fans yelling ridiculous things.
8. If you could play for another sports team at Harvard, which would it be and why?
Squash—it's the most cut throat sport when you think about the attitude to area ratio. Plus, being part of a tradition of champions would be fun.
9. Position you would play in Quidditch.
Beater, it is the most aggressive form of defense ever.
10. If your team could go on a date with any professional athlete, who would it be and where would you take him/her?
We'd take whoever is up to the challenge, and we'd go paintballing.

Early yearsXenophon was born around 431 BC, near the city of Athens, to Gryllus, of the deme Erchia of Athens. His father's family were a wealthy equestrian family.WEB,weblink Xenophon, Encyclopædia Britannica, 21 September 2009, The history of his youth is little attested before 401 BC, when he was convinced by his Boeotian friend Proxenus (Anabasis 3.1.9) to participate in the military expedition led by Cyrus the Younger against his elder brother, King Artaxerxes II of Persia.
AnabasisFile:Anabasis map.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|Route of Xenophon and the Ten Thousand ]]
Expedition with Cyrus the YoungerWritten years after these events, Xenophon's book Anabasis (Greek: á¼Î½Î¬Î²Î±ÏιÏ, literally "going up")á¼Î½Î¬Î²Î±ÏιÏ, Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, on Perseus is his record of the entire expedition of Cyrus against the Persians and the Greek mercenariesâ journey home. Xenophon writes that he had asked the veteran Socrates for advice on whether to go with Cyrus, and that Socrates referred him to the divinely inspired Pythia. Xenophon's query to the oracle, however, was not whether or not to accept Cyrus' invitation, but "to which of the gods he must pray and do sacrifice, so that he might best accomplish his intended journey and return in safety, with good fortune". The oracle answered his question and told him to which gods to pray and sacrifice. When Xenophon returned to Athens and told Socrates of the oracle's advice, Socrates chastised him for asking so disingenuous a question (Anabasis 3.1.5â7).Under the pretext of fighting Tissaphernes, the Persian satrap of Ionia, Cyrus assembled a massive army composed of native Persian soldiers, but also a large number of Greeks. Prior to waging war against Artaxerxes, Cyrus proposed that the enemy was the Pisidians, and so the Greeks were unaware that they were to battle against the larger army of King Artaxerxes II (Anabasis 1.1.8â11). At Tarsus the soldiers became aware of Cyrus's plans to depose the king, and as a result, refused to continue (Anabasis 1.3.1). However, Clearchus, a Spartan general, convinced the Greeks to continue with the expedition. The army of Cyrus met the army of Artaxerxes II in the Battle of Cunaxa. Despite effective fighting by the Greeks, Cyrus was killed in the battle (Anabasis 1.8.27â1.9.1). Shortly thereafter, Clearchus was invited to a peace conference, where, alongside four other generals and many captains, he was betrayed and executed (Anabasis 2.5.31â32).
Return(File:Xenophon and the ten thousand hail the sea.jpg|thumb|Xenophon leading his Ten Thousand through Persia to the Black Sea. 19th century illustration.)The mercenaries, known as the Ten Thousand, found themselves without leadership far from the sea, deep in hostile territory near the heart of Mesopotamia, with a hostile population and armies to deal with. They elected new leaders, including Xenophon himself.Dodge says of Xenophon's generalship, "Xenophon is the father of the system of retreat, the originator of all that appertains to the science of rear-guard fighting. He reduced its management to a perfect method. More originality in tactics has come from the Anabasis than from any dozen other books. Every system of war looks to this as to the fountain-head when it comes to rearward movements, as it looks to Alexander for a pattern of resistless and intelligent advance. Necessity to Xenophon was truly the mother of invention, but the centuries since have devised nothing to surpass the genius of this warrior. No general ever possessed a grander moral ascendant over his men. None ever worked for the safety of his soldiers with greater ardor or to better effect."Dodge, pp. 105-106
Xenophon's politicsXenophon has long been associated with the opposition of democracy.Gray, Xenophon, page 19 (preface): "Xenophon has been called undemocratic in more contexts than can be mentioned." {{ISBN|9780199216185}} Although Xenophon seems to prefer oligarchy, or at least the aristocracy, especially in light of his associations with Sparta, none of his works explicitly attack democracy, unless his account of democratic proceedings in the Anabasis be interpreted as anti-democracy when deliberations are intimidated by cries of "pelt" if a speaker says something others disagree with. Some scholarsFarrell, Christopher A. 2012. "Laconism and Democracy: Re-reading the LakedaimoniÅn Politeia and Re-thinking Xenophon" in Joanne Paul ed., Governing Diversities, pp. 10â35, Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing. go so far as to say his views aligned with those of the democracy in his time. However, certain works of Xenophon, in particular the Cyropaedia, seem to show his oligarchic politics. This historical-fiction serves as a forum for Xenophon to subtly display his political inclinations.
Relations between Medes and Persians in the CyropaediaFile:Xenophon Cyropaedia.jpg|thumb|upright|Xenophon's CyropaediaCyropaediaXenophon wrote the Cyropaedia to outline his political and moral philosophy. He did this by endowing a fictional version of the boyhood of Cyrus the Great, founder of the first Persian Empire, with the qualities of what Xenophon considered the ideal ruler. Historians have asked whether Xenophon's portrait of Cyrus was accurate or if Xenophon imbued Cyrus with events from Xenophon's own life. The consensus is that Cyrusâs career is best outlined in the Histories of Herodotus. But Steven Hirsch writes, "Yet there are occasions when it can be confirmed from Oriental evidence that Xenophon is correct where Herodotus is wrong or lacks information. A case in point involves the ancestry of Cyrus."Steven W. Hirsch, "1001 Iranian Nights: History and Fiction in Xenophonâs Cyropaedia", in The Greek Historians: Literature and History: Papers Presented to A. E. Raubitschek. Saratoga CA: ANMA Libr, 1985, p. 80. Herodotus contradicts Xenophon at several other points, most notably in the matter of Cyrusâs relationship with the Median Kingdom. Herodotus says that Cyrus led a rebellion against his maternal grandfather, Astyages king of Media, and defeated him, thereafter (improbably) keeping Astyages in his court for the remainder of his life (Histories 1.130). The Medes were thus "reduced to subjection" (1.130) and became "slaves" (1.129) to the Persians 20 years before the capture of Babylon in 539 BC.The Cyropaedia relates instead that Astyages died and was succeeded by his son Cyaxares II, the maternal uncle of Cyrus (1.5.2). In the initial campaign against the Lydians, Babylonians and their allies, the Medians were led by Cyaxares and the Persians by Cyrus, who was crown prince of the Persians, since his father was still alive (4.5.17). Xenophon relates that at this time the Medes were the strongest of the kingdoms that opposed the Babylonians (1.5.2). There is an echo of this statement, verifying Xenophon and contradicting Herodotus, in the Harran Stele, a document from the court of Nabonidus.BOOK, Pritchard, James B., Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament, Princeton Univ. Press, 3rd, 1969, Princeton, 562â63, In the entry for year 14 or 15 of his reign (542-540 BC), Nabonidus speaks of his enemies as the kings of Egypt, the Medes, and the Arabs. There is no mention of the Persians,although according to Herodotus and the current consensus the Medians had been made "slaves" of the Persians several years previously. It does not seem that Nabonidus would be completely misled about who his enemies were, or who was really in control over the Medes and Persians just one to three years before his kingdom fell to their armies.Other archaeological evidence supporting Xenophonâs picture of a confederation of Medes and Persians, rather than a subjugation of the Medes by the Persians, comes from the bas-reliefs in the stairway at Persepolis. These show no distinction in official rank or status between the Persian and Median nobility. Although Olmstead followed the consensus view that Cyrus subjugated the Medes, he nevertheless wrote, "Medes were honored equally with Persians; they were employed in high office and were chosen to lead Persian armies."BOOK, Olmsted, A. T., History of the Persian Empire, Chicago, Univ. of Chicago Press, 1948, 37, A more extensive list of considerations related to the credibility of the Cyropaediaâs picture of the relationship between the Medes and Persians is found on the Cyropaedia page.(File:Persepolis carvings.JPG|thumb|Bas-reliefs of Persian soldiers together with Median soldiers are prevalent in Persepolis. The ones with rounded caps are Median.)Both Herodotus (1.123,214) and Xenophon (1.5.1,2,4, 8.5.20) present Cyrus as about 40 years old when his forces captured Babylon. In the Nabonidus Chronicle, there is mention of the death of the wife of the king (name not given) within a month after the capture of Babylon.Pritchard, Ancient Near Eastern Texts, p. 306b. It has been conjectured that this was Cyrusâs first wife, which lends credibility to the Cyropaediaâs statement (8.5.19) that Cyaxares II gave his daughter in marriage to Cyrus soon (but not immediately) after the fall of the city, with the kingdom of Media as her dowry. When Cyaxares died about two years later the Median kingdom passed peaceably to Cyrus, so that this would be the true beginning of the Medo-Persian Empire under just one monarch.
Persians as centaursThe Cyropaedia as a whole lavishes a great deal of praise on the first Persian emperor, Cyrus the Great, on account of his virtue and leadership quality, and it was through his greatness that the Persian Empire held together. Thus this book is normally read as a positive treatise about Cyrus. However, following the lead of Leo Strauss, David Johnson suggests that there is a subtle but strong layer to the book in which Xenophon conveys criticism of not only the Persians but the Spartans and Athenians as well.Johnson, D. M. 2005. "Persians as Centaurs in Xenophonâs âCyropaediaâ", Transactions of the American Philological Association. Vol 135, No. 1, pp. 177â207.In section 4.3 of the Cyropaedia Cyrus makes clear his desire to institute cavalry. He even goes so far to say that he desires that no Persian kalokagathos ("noble and good man" literally, or simply "noble") ever be seen on foot but always on a horse, so much so that the Persians may actually seem to be centaurs (4.3.22â23). Centaurs were often thought of as creatures of ill repute, which makes even Cyrusâ own advisors wary of the label. His minister Chrysantas admires the centaurs for their dual nature, but also warns that the dual nature does not allow centaurs to fully enjoy or act as either one of their aspects in full (4.3.19â20).In labelling Persians as centaurs through the mouth of Cyrus, Xenophon plays upon the popular post-Persian-war propagandistic paradigm of using mythological imagery to represent the Greco-Persian conflict. Examples of this include the wedding of the Lapiths, giantomachy, Trojan War, and Amazonomachy on the Parthenon frieze. Johnson reads even more deeply into the centaur label. He believes that the unstable dichotomy of man and horse found in a centaur is indicative of the unstable and unnatural alliance of Persian and Mede formulated by Cyrus. The Persian hardiness and austerity is combined with the luxuriousness of the Medes, two qualities that cannot coexist. He cites the regression of the Persians directly after the death of Cyrus as a result of this instability, a union made possible only through the impeccable character of Cyrus. In a further analysis of the centaur model, Cyrus is likened to a centaur such as Chiron, a noble example from an ignoble race. Thus this entire paradigm seems to be a jab at the Persians and an indication of Xenophonâs general distaste for the Persians.
Against empire/monarchyFile:Papiri frammentari con elleniche di senofonte, PSI X 1197, oxyrhynchos 90-150 dc ca..JPG|thumb|right|upright=1.5|Fragments of Xenophon's Hellenica, Papyrus PSI 1197, Laurentian LibraryLaurentian LibraryThe strength of Cyrus in holding the empire together is praiseworthy according to Xenophon. However, the empire began to decline upon the death of Cyrus. By this example Xenophon sought to show that empires lacked stability and could only be maintained by a person of remarkable prowess, such as Cyrus. Cyrus is idealized greatly in the narrative. Xenophon displays Cyrus as a lofty, temperate man. This is not to say that he was not a good ruler, but he is depicted as surreal and not subject to the foibles of other men. By showing that only someone who is almost beyond human could conduct such an enterprise as empire, Xenophon indirectly censures imperial design. Thus he also reflects on the state of his own reality in an even more indirect fashion, using the example of the Persians to decry the attempts at empire made by Athens and Sparta.Johnson, D. M. 2005. "Persians as Centaurs in Xenophonâs âCyropaediaâ", Transactions of the American Philological Association. Vol 135, No. 1, pp. 177â207 Although partially graced with hindsight, having written the Cyropaedia after the downfall of Athens in the Peloponnesian War, this work criticizes the Greek attempts at empire and "monarchy", dooming them to failure.
Against democracyAnother passage that Johnson cites as criticism of monarchy and empire concerns the devaluation of the homotīmoi. The manner in which this occurs seems also to be a subtle jab at democracy. Homotīmoi were highly and thoroughly educated and thus became the core of the soldiery as heavy infantry. As the name homotīmoi ("equal", or "same honours" i.e. "peers") suggests, their small band (1000 when Cyrus fought the Assyrians) shared equally in the spoils of war. However, in the face of overwhelming numbers in a campaign against the Assyrians, Cyrus armed the commoners with similar arms instead of their normal light ranged armament (Cyropaedia 2.1.9). Argument ensued as to how the spoils would now be split, and Cyrus enforced a meritocracy. Many homotīmoi found this unfair because their military training was no better than the commoners, only their education, and hand-to-hand combat was less a matter of skill than strength and bravery. As Johnson asserts, this passage decries imperial meritocracy and corruption, for the homotīmoi now had to sychophantize to the emperor for positions and honours; from this point they were referred to as entīmoi, no longer of the "same honours" but having to be "in" to get the honour. On the other hand, the passage seems to be critical of democracy, or at least sympathetic to aristocrats within democracy, for the homotīmoi (aristocracy/oligarchs) are devalued upon the empowerment of the commoners (demos). Although empire emerges in this case, this is also a sequence of events associated with democracy. Through his dual critique of empire and democracy, Xenophon subtly relates his support of oligarchy.
Constitution of the SpartansThe Spartans wrote nothing about themselves, or if they did it is lost. Therefore, what we know about them comes exclusively from outsiders like Xenophon. Xenophonâs affinity for the Spartans is clear in the Constitution of the Spartans, as well as his penchant for oligarchy. The opening line reads:}}Xenophon goes on to describe in detail the main aspects of Laconia, handing to us the most comprehensive extant analysis of the institutions of Sparta.
Old Oligarch{{unreferenced section|date=December 2018}}A short treatise on the Constitution of the Athenians exists that was once thought to be by Xenophon, but which was probably written when Xenophon was about five years old. The author, often called in English the "Old Oligarch" or Pseudo-Xenophon, detests the democracy of Athens and the poorer classes, but he argues that the Periclean institutions are well designed for their deplorable purposes. Although the real Xenophon seems to prefer oligarchy over democracy, none of his works so ardently decry democracy as does the Constitution of the Athenians. However, this treatise makes evident that anti-democratic sentiments were extant in Athens in the late 5th century BC and were only increased after its shortcomings were exploited and made apparent during the Peloponnesian War.
Socratic works and dialoguesFile:Xenophon Agesilaus.jpg|thumb|upright|Xenophon's Agesilaus.]]Xenophonâs works includes a selection of Socratic dialogues; these writings are completely preserved. Except for the dialogues of Plato, they are the only surviving representatives of the genre of Socratic dialogue. These works include Xenophon's Apology, Memorabilia, Symposium, and Oeconomicus. The Symposium outlines the character of Socrates as he and his companions discuss what attribute they take pride in. In Oeconomicus, Socrates explains how to manage a household. Both the Apology and Memorabilia defend Socratesâ character and teachings. The former is set during the trial of Socrates, essentially defending Socratesâ loss and death, while the latter is a defence of Socrates, explaining his moral principles and that he was not a corrupter of the youth.
Relationship with SocratesXenophon was a student of Socrates, and their personal relationship is evident through a conversation between the two in Xenophonâs Anabasis. In his Lives of Eminent Philosophers, the Greek biographer Diogenes Laërtius reports how Xenophon met Socrates. "They say that Socrates met [Xenophon] in a narrow lane, and put his stick across it and prevented him from passing by, asking him where all kinds of necessary things were sold. And when he had answered him, he asked him again where men were made good and virtuous. And as he did not know, he said, âFollow me, then, and learn.â And from this time forth, Xenophon became a follower of Socrates."WEB, Laertius, Diogenes, thegreatthinkers.org,weblink Great Thinkers, 6 October 2014, Diogenes Laërtius also relates an incident "when in the battle of Delium Xenophon had fallen from his horse" and Socrates reputedly "stepped in and saved his life."BOOK, Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, Laertius, Diogenes, Socrates, Xenophon's admiration for his teacher is clear in writings such as Symposium, Apology, and Memorabilia. Xenophon was away on his Persian campaign during the trial and death of Socrates. Nevertheless, much of Xenophon's Socratic writing, especially Apology, concerns that very trial and the defence Socrates put forward.
Socrates: Xenophon vs. PlatoBoth Plato and Xenophon wrote an Apology concerning the death of Socrates. The two writers seem more concerned about answering questions that arose after the trial than about the actual charges. In particular, Xenophon and Plato are concerned with the failures of Socrates to defend himself. The Socrates that Xenophon portrayed was different from Platoâs in multiple respects. Xenophon asserts that Socrates dealt with his prosecution in an exceedingly arrogant manner, or at least was perceived to have spoken arrogantly. Conversely, while not omitting it completely, Plato worked to temper that arrogance in his own Apology. Xenophon framed Socratesâ defense, which both men admit was not prepared at all, not as failure to effectively argue his side, but as striving for death even in the light of unconvincing charges. As Danzig interprets it, convincing the jury to condemn him even on unconvincing charges would be a rhetorical challenge worthy of the great persuader.Danzig, Gabriel. 2003. "Apologizing for Socrates: Plato and Xenophon on Socratesâ Behavior in Court." Transactions of the American Philological Association. Vol. 133, No. 2, pp. 281â321. Xenophon uses this interpretation as justification for Socratesâ arrogant stance and conventional failure. By contrast, Plato does not go so far as to claim that Socrates actually desired death, but seems to argue that Socrates was attempting to demonstrate a higher moral standard and teach a lesson, although his defence failed by conventional standards. This places Socrates in a higher moral position than his prosecutors, a typical Platonic example of absolving "Socrates from blame in every conceivable way."
Historical realityAlthough Xenophon claims to have been present at the Symposium, this is impossible as he was only a young boy at the date which he proposes it occurred. And again, Xenophon was not present at the trial of Socrates, having been on campaign in Anatolia and Mesopotamia. Thus he puts into the latterâs mouth what he would have thought him to say. It seems that Xenophon wrote his Apology and Memorabilia as defences of his former teacher, not to explain Socrates' relationship to the actual charges incurred.
Modern receptionXenophon's standing as a political philosopher has been defended in recent times by Leo Strauss, who devoted a considerable part of his philosophic analysis to the works of Xenophon, returning to the high judgment of Xenophon as a thinker expressed by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, Michel de Montaigne, Montesquieu, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, Niccolò Machiavelli, Francis Bacon, John Milton, Jonathan Swift, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams.Xenophonâs lessons on leadership have been reconsidered for their modern-day value. Jennifer OâFlannery holds that "discussions of leadership and civic virtue should include the work of Xenophon ... on public education for public service."OâFlannery, Jennifer. 2003. "Xenophonâs (The Education of Cyrus) and Ideal Leadership Lessons for Modern Public Administration." Public Administration Quarterly. Vol. 27, No. 1/2, pp. 41â64. The Cyropaedia, in outlining Cyrus as an ideal leader having mastered the qualities of "education, equality, consensus, justice and service to state," is the work that she suggests be used as a guide or example for those striving to be leaders (see mirrors for princes). The linking of moral code and education is an especially pertinent quality subscribed to Cyrus that OâFlannery believes is in line with modern perceptions of leadership.

In the preface Strassler writes (xxi), "Fifteen works were transmitted through antiquity under Xenophon's name, and fortunately all fifteen have come down to us". The following list of his works exhibits the extensive breadth of genres in which Xenophon wrote.
Historical and biographical works
- Anabasis (also: The Persian Expedition or The March Up Country or The Expedition of Cyrus): Provides an early life biography of Xenophon. Anabasis was used as a field guide by Alexander the Great during the early phases of his expedition into the Achaemenid Empire.
- Cyropaedia (also: The Education of Cyrus): Sometimes seen as the archetype of the European "mirror of princes" genre.
- Hellenica: His Hellenica is a major primary source for events in Greece from 411 to 362 BC, and is considered to be the continuation of the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides, going so far as to begin with the phrase "Following these events...". The Hellenica recounts the last seven years of the Peloponnesian war, as well as its aftermath.
- Agesilaus: The biography of Agesilaus II, king of Sparta and companion of Xenophon.
- Polity of the Lacedaemonians: Xenophonâs history and description of the Spartan government and institutions.
Socratic works and dialogues
Defences of Socrates
- Memorabilia: Collection of Socratic dialogues serving as a defense of Socrates outside of court.

The MOST ADVANCED Harmonic Trading Techniques Ever Published– by Their CREATOR, Scott Carney!
"Perhaps the greatest shortcoming of the field of Technical Analysis is the high degree of subjectivity in price pattern interpretation. In Harmonic Trading: Volume 2, highly respected technical analyst Scott Carney reduces subjectivity to a minimum with his Fibonacci-based price measurement techniques and traditional technical analysis methods. Precise price-pattern examples presented in the book enable the novice as well as the advanced trader to incorporate the Harmonic Trading methodology into a workable and profitable trading system. Harmonic Trading: Volume 2 will undoubtedly prove to be a vital part of any technical trader's toolkit." –TRACY L. KNUDSEN, CMT, Senior Market Analyst, Lowry Research Corp.
"I have devoted my life to the study and development of Harmonic Technical Analysis. There are only a few names in this field whose contributions I find truly inspiring. Scott's work is at the top of that 'short list,' and Harmonic Trading: Volume 2 is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of his achievements. It redefines the concept of a 'must read.'" –JIM KANE, Founder of Kane Trading and author of nine trading books, including Median Line and Fibonacci Synergy
"It is rare that one finds an author who has so carefully compiled his research and even more carefully presented his findings as Scott Carney has in Harmonic Trading: Volume 2. Scott presents price-pattern examples and explanations of patterns in such a way that investors, no matter what their level of experience, will find the work of great value in expanding their understanding of the way markets move and how to trade them. Scott's work should definitely be a prominent part of every investor's library." –PETER B. MAUTHE, President, Rhoads Lucca Capital Management, Inc.
"This book gave me two new tools to start experimenting with: the 1.13 at market extremes and the RSI BAMM." –VERONIQUE LASHINSKI, CMT, Board Member of the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA) and former Vice President of the American Association of Professional Technical Analysts (AAPTA)
Now, in Harmonic Trading: Volume 2, Carney takes a quantum leap forward, introducing new strategies, patterns, and methods that make Harmonic Trading an even more powerful tool for trading the financial markets. For the first time, he reveals how to utilize harmonic impulse waves and introduces measurement techniques that identify market turning points even more accurately. Finally, he demonstrates how to integrate the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) with advanced Harmonic Trading techniques to separate minor "reactive" moves from major opportunities.

Limerick man with 127 convictions jailed for smearing blood on cell wall
Kilmallock Court heard it cost €200 to clean the cell in Bruff Garda Station
A LIMERICK man smeared blood on the wall of a cell in Bruff Garda Station, Kilmallock Court heard.
Nigel Sheehan, aged 39, of Sheares Street, Kilmallock, pleaded guilty to criminal damage of the cell, breaking a mobile phone and threatening, abusive insulting behaviour. An assault charge was withdrawn.
Garda Brendan Daly said gardai responded to a call in Sheares Street, Kilmallock in the early hours of Tuesday, April 10, 2018.
"The defendant was very intoxicated. I asked him to leave the area but he wouldn't, said Garda Daly.
"I arrested him under the Public Order Act. He continued to be abusive," added the garda.
Last April, Garda Daly gave evidence of arresting, charging and cautioning Sheehan.
Garda Daly said when he charged Sheehan with failing to obey garda instructions to leave the vicinity of Sheares Street, he replied: "It will only be a fine."
When Garda Daly put it to him that he engaged in threatening/abusive/insulting behaviour, Sheehan said: "F**k you and your charges."
The court heard that after Sheehan was arrested and conveyed to Bruff Garda Station he smeared blood on a wall of a cell.
He faced another criminal damage charge of breaking a mobile phone on an unknown date.
Garda Daly said Sheehan has 127 previous convictions.
Con Barry, solicitor for Sheehan, said his client is 39 years of age and is currently serving a prison sentence.
"There is no getting around it - alcohol is his demon. He is attending AA meetings in prison. He apologises to the gardai and court," said Mr Barry.
The cost of cleaning the cell was €200 and the phone was valued at €130.
Mr Barry said his client isn't in a position to "compensate anybody".
Judge O'Leary asked Mr Barry if he saw the replies by Sheehan to Garda Daly.
"Yes," said Mr Barry.
Judge O'Leary sentenced Sheehan to two months in prison for smearing blood on the wall of the prison cell.
They are to run consecutively to the current sentence he is serving..
For threatening, abusive, insulting behaviour, the judge handed down a three month sentence suspended for three years. The damage to the phone charge was taken into consideration.

Troubled singer Chris Brown is the subject of another police investigation after he allegedly "sucker punched" a photographer at a Florida nightclub.
Tampa police spokesman Stephen Hegarty said 28-year-old Bennie Vines Jr was hired by the nightclub Aja Channelside to take photos during an event hosted by Brown.
• Love twist: Bachelor host dated contestant
• The Kiwi guide to Coachella
Vines told officers that while he was snapping photos early on Monday, local time, Brown punched him. Brown was gone by the time officers arrived.
Vines refused medical treatment and told officers he wanted to prosecute because of a minor lip cut.
The club confirmed the incident on its Facebook page Monday and apologised to patrons.
The event hosted by Brown was one of several in Florida over the Easter period.
Brown, singer of the hit Five More Hours and the recent track Privacy, completed probation in a 2009 felony assault case for an attack on singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend.
In 2015 he apologised for posting threatening messages on Twitter to Tyson Beckford after the model snapped a picture with his ex.
Brown's 2015 tour to New Zealand was cancelled after he was earlier refused a visa due to his history of domestic violence.
In August last year former beauty queen Baylee Curran called police alleging Brown had threatened her with a gun inside his Los Angeles home.

"Really a great place to work and excel."
"I worked with BMC Software since 2009. Great company, great culture."
"Great place to work. Good culture."
"It's a good company, lots of things to learn. But people on top do politics, sometimes you don't get credit for your work, it's not that work is not appreciated, work has been appreciated but someone else stole the credit, and management knows that, still they don't do anything."
"BMC is a great company to work for. Unfortunately they are rebuilding. I was a part of the restructured end that got laid off to keep the company profitable."
"Worst mangers and worst leadership. They do not think of their employees. Low pay/ low bonus. Tons of work. NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. No motivation at work. You work like a slave. Your achievements are never given any importance."
"Loved my co- workers. They are a motivated, professional bunch. Unfortunately, at least in my group, the VP was a bully who changed his mind from one day/week to the next and then blamed his managers and employees for not "getting it right". Seriously, this guy did this constantly. I think he knew exactly what he was doing, but he felt like keeping everyone in fear would somehow keep them on their toes and more productive. The SLT team have enabled him to torment 100+ people for 7+ years."
"I worked at BMC Software in 2008, it's been a long time for me to give an accurate feedback."
"BMC Software is a good place to be if you are starting out in the software industry."
"I've worked for BMC for almost a year. The company is in a period of transformation by growing private. Hopefully, it will produce better quality software going forward."
"BMC is great great company, but in the company structure it can be very difficult to move up professionally. However, the actual work culture is phenomenal."
"I've enjoyed my time working for BMC. They constantly and consistently keep an eye on how well their employees are taken care of. They offer many great benefits, and encourage career progression, both in the form of education assistance and BMC product training. I highly recommend working for them."
"BMC Software is good company with very good products."
"I was not with the company for long as we were acquired by BMC."

According to an LA Times story, a savvy seller in Washington state successfully countered a potential buyer's low-ball offer after reading how much the buyer loved the home—and how much the buyer was willing to pay. The information had been posted on the potential buyer's Facebook page.
Moral: If you're in negotiations, keep a poker face and that includes cyber-silence on popular sites like Facebook.

Where's my Mai Tai?
- Joined
- Sep 8, 1999
I will be taking a group of staff and volunteers for a large conference this summer staying around the Convention Center. I've starting to explore the area on Yelp for a couple of nice restaurants to take everyone out to. The group will range from about 30 to 70 years old, I'm looking for a non-chain type of restaurant, at least trying to avoid the Outack, Red Robin type. I know that Mortons & Ruth Chris are very close and they a possible option. In the past I've taken this group to some great BBQ and even Guy Fieri Diners, Drive-In and Dives locations, all to great reviews. So I'm looking for something that is unique and within a reasonable Lyft/Uber ride away, it doesn't have to be in the immediate area.
Any recommendations from this group? Thanks!

2 Corinthians 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Your mind is a powerful gift that I have given you. One single moment you are talking with Me and in mid-thought you've gone wandering on to something completely off topic. I instill in you wisdom and understanding, you need to draw upon these truths to help you through. One errant thought can trigger another. If you continue in a wrong or sinful thought, it can make you wander so far from Me that when you act on that thought and it becomes full-fledged sin, you hardly recognize it. Ask for My guidance… asking to recognize when this happens sooner, so that when it does, you can call upon Me and I will be right there for you. I won't let you down, just don't push Me away. Your mind controls your whole person. This is why it is so very important to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Me. It's the safest place to be and I will lead you down the path that I have chosen for you.

The ghosts love it, though.
They can't breathe on their
own, so they absorb the
essence of the world
breathing around them.
That's why you see more
ghosts on windy days.
So are these, um,
friends of yours?"
I was a fan of comics when I was an adolescent ... Archie comics, that is. I spent a few years living vicariously through those characters. I still love all things Charles Schulz, Bill Watterson, Gary Larson and Lynn Johnston. I was not the mom who read comics to my kids (too much explaining) and I still don't read the comics in the newspaper. So, I was rarely pulled toward reading graphic novels. Too much really good stuff to read, I said. I am all right with admitting mistakes in judgement. Authors like Ben Hatke, Luke Pearson, Geoffrey Hayes made me take notice of some of their amazing work. Then, Raina Telgemeier! I read Smile (Scholastic, 2010) and that set me on a course to keep watch for each new novel she writes. That brings me to her latest!
It is another delight, and sure to please her many fans! Cat and her family have moved to Bahia de la Luna, a place in northern California where the sea air will be better for her younger sister Maya, who has cystic fibrosis. As they explore their new surroundings, the two make some discoveries that are both exciting and disconcerting. It is a town where ghosts are real. The ghosts respond to kindness, offering friendship when they are treated well.
As the Day of the Dead celebrations ramp up, Maya wants to be right in the middle of everything. The ghosts can't breathe on their own; readers recognize that they are much like Maya. The ghosts are not frightening; in fact, they remain blobs until a connection can be made with them. Keeping those who have died alive through memories and ghostly visits makes the celebration most enjoyable. The scarier part of the story comes not from the ghosts but from Maya's illness. Cat worries while Maya rejoices in each new experience. Their visits with the ghosts bring an awareness to the sisters concerning the future - they begin to acknowledge that Maya's life may be short. Together they learn that sadness is inevitable, but the love they have for each other will never die.
Again, the story is drawn so beautifully. Moods affect the color tones used, and expression and emotion play a huge role in balancing the joy and sadness in its many pages. Backmatter offers a 'few notes' about the book, including information about Bahia de la Luna, Dia De Los Muertos, and cystic fibrosis. A photo of the author and early sketches drawn for this newest book are included.
Emotional and engaging, fans of the remarkable Ms.Telgemeier will be thrilled to have it in their hands.

Using Twitter as a Professional Development Tool Last week during a discussion about design, Jeanette Campos asked me a fairly is simple question: What are the three artifacts that have shaped you most as a designer of creative learning solutions to complex problems? Immediately one word came to mind: Twitter. It isn't the tool itself that has been so impact full for me; it's the world to which Twitter opened up to me. I started my career as a learning and performance professional much the same way many in our field do: without any training or education on what it means to work in this field. 4 things your boss won't tell you (but a mentor will) MPW Insider is an online community where the biggest names in business and beyond answer timely career and leadership questions. Today's answer for: Why is it important to have a mentor? is written by Penny Herscher CEO of FirstRain. The truth hurts, and yet the truth is the most important thing you need to hear when you're building a career. Unlike a sponsor, who can advocate for you as you seek a promotion, a mentor gives you unvarnished advice. And it's the truly valuable advice that you can't get from your friends, or often even from your boss, that you need to know but no one wants to tell you.
Step 1: What is a PLN? Welcome to our professional learning series on building a PLN. This series guides you step by step through the process of setting up your own PLN. The aim of this first step is to: Explain what is a PLN.Help you understand why educators create their own PLN. Giving Students Ownership of Learning:Footprints in the Digital Age November 2008 | Volume 66 | Number 3 Giving Students Ownership of Learning Pages 16-19 As the geeky father of a 9-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter, one of my worst fears as they grow older is that they won't be Googled well. Not that they won't be able to use Google well, mind you, but that when a certain someone (read: admissions officer, employer, potential mate) enters "Tess Richardson" into the search line of the browser, what comes up will be less than impressive.
Building your Personal Learning Network A Personal Learning Network (PLN) is a group of people you count on to: guide you in your learningbe your source of advice and resourcesmake you aware of learning opportunitiesshare their best practicespoint you to answers and support This concept of a PLNÂ has been around for many years. What has changed in recent years though is the reach, the size and the availability of that network. The look of a PLN has changed. From How to Create a Robust and Meaningful Personal Learning Network [PLN] This post describes how educators can develop a personal learning network that supports meaningful and relevant learning. The MOOC, Education Technology & Media, etmooc, is used here as a working example of how to develop a PLN. "My Personal Learning Network is the key to keeping me up-to-date with all the changes that are happening in education and how technology can best support and engage today's students." Brian Metcalfe: teacher, blogger at lifelonglearners.com A visual image of participants in an open, online course- etmooc, which shows the potential to find and create personal connections as part of one's PLN.

How to Engage Senior Leaders in Leadership Development Building Leadership The Bridgespan Group has prepared a guide to leadership development at nonprofits, Nonprofit Leadership Development: What's Your "Plan A" for Growing Future Leaders?. Alongside the full guide, we're offering a sample of what you'll find in the guide in a series of six articles adapted from its contents. 50 Things You Can Do With Google Classroom I am excited to announce that the book "50 Things You Can Do With Google Classroom" is now available for sale on Amazon. The book was co-authored by Libbi Miller who teaches with me at California State University Fresno. We both are users of and fans of Google Classroom.
"Footprints in the Digital Age" by Will Richardson "Footprints in the Digital Age" by Will Richardson in Educational Leadership Will Richardson makes many good points in the article. The most profound, perhaps, is this: "This may be the first large technological shift in history that's being driven by children. PLN: Your Personal Learning Network Made Easy What is a PLN? If I had to define what a 'Personal Learning Network' is, I would keep it simple and broad: n. – the entire collection of people with whom you engage and exchange information, usually online. Personal Learning Networks, or PLNs, have been around forever. Originally, they were your family and friends, maybe other educators you worked with, but as the internet and web 2.0 tools have become nearly ubiquitous, PLNs can include tons of different communities – social networking sites like Facebook, blogs, Twitter, wikis, social bookmarking tools, LinkedIn, and so many more.
Building a Personal Learning Network (PLN) by Jane Bozarth "Simply showing up is not enough. As with most things in life, you get back what you put in. If you want to build a Personal Learning Network, then you must be an active part of that network; it's not a spectator sport." Since Social Media for Trainers was published I've fielded lots of questions about incorporating social media tools into workplace learning endeavors. Another question that comes up relates to the developmental needs of trainers and instructional designers: What are some strategies for building or extending your own Personal Learning Network (PLN) via social media tools? Here are a few ideas. The question is not, "Do you need help?" The question is: "What kind of help do you need?" Personal Learning Networks are the collections of people and information resources (and relationships with them) that people cultivate in order to form their own public or private learning networks — living, growing, responsive sources of information, support, and inspiration that support self-learners. Howard Rheingold: "When I started using social media in the classroom, I looked for and began to learn from more experienced educators. First, I read and then tried to comment usefully on their blog posts and tweets. When I began to understand who knew what in the world of social media in education, I narrowed my focus to the most knowledgeable and adventurous among them. I paid attention to the people the savviest social media educators paid attention to. I added and subtracted voices from my attention network, listened and followed, then commented and opened conversations.
Early Modern Information Overload Find using OpenURL Rent from DeepDyve Early Modern Information Overload Abstract Contemporary discussions of information overload have important precedents during the years 1550-1750. An examination of the early modern period in Europe, including work of humanism, science, theology, and popular encyclopedias demonstrates that perceptions of information overload have as much to do with the ways in which knowledge is represented as with any quantitative measurers in the production of new texts, ideas, or facts.
Student Directed Planning: Fostering Student Ownership In Learning Exploring ways to motivate young students to learn is a never ending quest for educators. Literature suggests that the need to motivate students today is greater than in the past. Teachers at all levels have made efforts to motivate students and to enhance their learning by developing incentive programs, fostering self concepts and by establishing positive classroom environments. Many of these efforts have met with some success and have given momentum to the exploration of additional strategies to motivate and enhance student learning. Student Directed Planning is a practical classroom strategy that trains students to take ownership for their learning. The primary goal of the strategy is to have young students become motivated to learn by including them in the HOW of the learning process.

Urban Corridor
Participatory multimedia installation with video projection, slides, surround sound and motion detectors. 8' x 8' x 20'. 2000
Urban Corridor was developed as part of our ongoing investigation into the role of the artist in relationship to urbanism, globalization, and media coverage. This video-installation explores the power of the individual to influence the media and the city through art. Urban Corridor comes alive when the visitors enter the installation. The recreation of an urban space inside the museum and gallery setting affects the audience's perception of the piece. Each visitor has a unique experience inside the corridor.
In the information and globalization era, with the development of technologies of mass diffusion, the media has become an instrument of power and control. The media is concentrated in the urban environment and could not exist outside of this physical space. The space of the urban corridor mirrors this urban space and enables us to critique the universal centers of creation and diffusion of art and information. To us, as Latin Americans, this subverting potential is essential to negotiate among diverging realities. A corridor, "a long, narrow, densely populated area" serves as a visual metaphor for the city's synekism. Our corridor is populated by sounds and images replicating the cacophony of news and in-formation within the urban environment. In it, people, news, and art, travel and interact along place and time variables.
There are infinite cross-points in the city. We will focus on the power of the media to shape the perception of reality and effectively impact the course of events. The media is a multinational corporation concentrated in a few metropolitan points. The individual can still exert power over the media and the city because of the co-dependent nature of the relationship that ties these three. Art becomes the tool of the individual to transform this interaction. The audience is an essential part of this installation since it is the body that activates the space.
Project Description
This installation is a collage of a video projection with sound compositions. The sounds elicit images of the urban environment. There is a soundtrack for the video and several sets of independent sounds that are triggered by the visitors. These sounds are connected to a computer with two CD-Roms that are randomly activated. There is another set of environmental sounds coming from a CD player that constantly play.
The video interweaves four "news" events: an automobile accident, a public demonstration, urban sprawl, and a war. These events are designed to encompass the audience perception from a global (i.e. a war) to an individual experience (i.e. car wreck). The news exposes the process by which real occurrences become a mediated reality. The video utilizes a combination of found, original footage and voice-overs.
We create a virtual cityscape with a large video projection and surround sound which envelope the viewer. This is an interactive piece. As the participant enters the room, he/she triggers the video projection and audio sound. As the participant walks around the room, he/she turns on various motion detectors which trigger random sounds.
The projector is placed two feet from the ground, 15 feet away from the projection wall. This strategic placement allows the visitor to literally be in the screen

It's hard to top a photo shoot experience with dear friends who have one of the cutest kids in the world. Take this session, for example. Paula and Adam are some our closest friends and we've been able share lots of life experiences with them in the last few years. Its not uncommon for weeknight dinners to be spent with "Unca Dabum, Aunt Ra Ra and Eeeym" as my 3-year-old used to call them. Paula is also a super talented photographer in the area and we often work together for weddings. I couldn't ask for a better friendship that doubles as a working relationship. We work in sync with little effort and have a blast doing projects together. I think it's safe to say that I've been to more weddings with Paula than I have with my husband :). This particular morning was cold. Really, really cold. But the Richwines, including 2-year-old Elim, braved the brisk winds and low temps and managed to look like they were having fun.
Ashley & Josh | Engaged
This past summer I had the awesome opportunity to photograph (in stealth paparazzi fashion) the proposal of Ashley & Josh. Josh and I (well, mostly Josh) worked together to pull off the sweetest proposal. I found the perfect hiding spot and got to witness the whole thing! Ashley didn't have a clue I was there but she was so excited to see me pop out of the weeds. Then, this past fall, we went back to the place it all happened and took their engagement photos. We had am absolutely beautiful afternoon. This has quickly become one of my favorite spots to take photos! I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding next year!
KHC is updated!
Welcome to my new blog! 2013 was a fantastic year that brought new clients, and many returning customers for the second or third time!
