Web Exclusive! CD Review: Sam Mitchell, Bottleneck & Slide Guitar (Reissue)
Originally released in 1976, this 19-track CD was recorded for both musical and educational purposes by the late roots guitarist Sam Mitchell. In the accompanying booklet, blues and folk music scholar Bruce Bastin lays out the argument (now taken for granted) that bottleneck/slide blues and Delta blues are not synonymous, and that, in fact, the technique was common to several styles from diverse geographic locations. Also included in the booklet are brief notes on each song played on the CD—including the guitar tunings. The songs cover the complete range of bottleneck styles, including classics such as "Crossroad Blues" and "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground." The original release has also been enhanced by the inclusion of sheet music/tab for 13 of the songs in PDF format. This disc makes a great introduction to the various bottleneck styles, as well as providing lots of great performances by a master guitarist. —Barry Cleveland

Keeping up with your male counterparts is difficult in the face of wage discrimination. It is even harder to keep up if you are a Latina living in the state of Texas. Nationally, Latina women make, on average, 54 cents for every dollar their male counterparts earn. In Texas, it is even less. Hispanic women in Texas make only about 44 cents on the dollar compared to men.
CA teacher triumphs in fight against discriminatory pay practices
For many workers, their experience and education will not be the determining factor in how much they will make. In fact, their credentials could be entirely irrelevant in the salary that they will be offered. How can that be?
Employee benefit plans 101: protect yourself by knowing the basics
If you have a benefit plan at work, those benefits likely make up a significant part of your total compensation. This can include not only health insurance and retirement-plan contributions, but also disability insurance, employee-stock options, profit-sharing plans and other benefits.
3 things to know about hourly pay in Texas
If you are an hourly wage worker in the state of Texas, you should know some basic information about how wage and hour laws work. Sometimes employers violate certain parts of the wage and hour laws in order to maximize profits, while cheating their employees out of regular or overtime pay they are legally entitled to.
Immigrant agricultural workers are often treated unfairly
When you moved to Texas from your home country, your goal was to build a better life for you and your family. You have many opportunities in the United States, but like others, you had to start from the bottom and work your way up. As a farm worker, your skills are necessary for everyone living in the country, but if you are facing wage and hour injustices by your employer, you are unfortunately far from alone.
4 subtle signs of age discrimination at work
If you are 40 years old or older, you may face age discrimination at work. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against older workers. However, sometimes discriminatory practices are not always obvious.
Migrant farm workers are often subjected to employer abuse
When you came to America, you did so with the hope of creating a better life for you and your family. Working on a farm is one of the most common ways for migrants to make a living and get a good start in our country. You and other farmworkers in Texas need to understand that, just like natural-born citizens, you have the right to fair and humane treatment by your employers. Unfortunately, the opposite is true for far too many migrant workers across the country.
What is wage theft?
If you are a worker who receives minimum wage, every penny of your paycheck counts. Some workers are victims of wage theft. This occurs when your employer somehow pays you less than what the company actually owes you. This type of theft can happen when your employer steals your tips, does not pay you for the overtime you have worked or forces you to work off the clock.
Employees stuck at work during hurricane may receive pay
During the recent natural disaster of Hurricane Harvey, many workers were physically stuck at their work location, unable to leave. Whether their hours at work are compensable may depend on several factors.
How to know if you are entitled to overtime pay
To protect workers' rights, there are state and federal laws concerning overtime pay. In the state of Texas, employers have to pay overtime if employees work more than 40 hours a week. That means if an employee workers 12 hours one day, 10 hours the next, 12 hours the following day and nothing else for the rest of the week, then he could not receive overtime. Some states work on a daily basis.

Before the word "INFLUENCERS" gained a steroid persona, with little content or conviction there was Antonio Lopez and Steven Stipleman. Creatives offering something so new, so daring, so beautiful and so bold in fashion illustration, you had to take notice. The noise they were making set new standards in beauty and broke new ground in fashion art. Either with glorious splendor from Mr. Stipleman or the more aggressive approach from Mr. Lopez, they were the influencers who inspired my creative life and thousands, if not millions of other designers, fashion illustrators and fashionistas.
The noise of Antonio is iconoclastic in it's sensuality, sexuality and artistic bravura. The colors so similar to the way YSL understood and juxtaposed conventional color in unconventional ways. There is an underlying comic quality of POP and reference to Roy Lichtenstein. And then, the surreal quality of the portraits with their dismembered anatomy so luxuriously portrayed or fashion drawings with a hidden edge or the transformational drawings, metamorphose figure into fetishistic shoe. All reminiscent of Salvatore Dali. http://www.elmuseo.org/
.......and then there is Steven Stipleman.
The noise Steven has made over his amazing careeer is quite different than Antonio's but just as powerful. For there is a beauty, glamour and elegance which only Steven Stipleman can portray. It appears so effortless and blissful that it produces a a sigh of heaven in every illustration. Steven's girls are the epitomy of pure perfection. His illustrations carry an exclusive understanding and an intimate relationship with the garment, whether it be a dress, coat, gown. This romantic interpretation transports us into the realm of dream, almost like a garden of Eden. Steven has created a representation of the female form setting the standard in beauty then through today.
Unprecedented in their portrayal of beautiful creatures and fashion, Steven and Antonio have been inspiring me and others for the past 40 years and continue to do so today.
That is the sign of a TRUE INFLUENCER.

Hi All,
I am following up on my post of a week or so ago. I have spent the
entire day trying to get Eclipse+GDB to work. Everything appears to work
except nothing works.
To be less obscure, the init script runs in gdb without any errors or
problems. However, after loading the program, the script sets a
breakpoint at main(). There is nothing in the disassembly window, and
there is no indication that the debugger is communicating with Eclipse
to show where the target pc is. The step icons in the debug window are
also inactive.
If I type 'x $pc', the debugger responds with:
0x40000050 <_start>: 0xe5df00f8
Which is precisely what I would expect from the linker and startup files
that I have. If I then type: 'step' the debugger responds with:
'Cannot find bounds of current function'
The disassembly window shows that the processor is trying to run at
0x3fffd2dc which is obviously not sane. 'x $pc' still prints the same
output as above.
On a different tack, if I type 'continue' after loading the program I
get a number of different results: it either runs to the breakpoint at
main() or crashes. If it does run to the breakpoint, it might step once
or twice before crashing. If it does step, OpenOCD reports that a memory
read caused a data abort at the location just stepped.
Incidently, OpenOCD reports the same data abort error when trying to
read memoryt at 0xffffffff during the loading phase. I haven;t
determined exactly where yet.
I have the same results on two pieces of hardware.
I expected the learning curve on GDB to be hard, but this is out of this
world! I have alot of experience with Eclipse (none with CDT) and I
don't know where to turn now. This is the second installation of
Eclipse+GDB I have done and I have followed Micheal Fischers tutorial
fairly closely. Can anyone help steer my ship in the right direction?

This evocative card from Cascadia Artpost has been hanging around for some time. I've picked it up and shuddered. Since it was sent things have only got worse. Now we must not kneel in protest.
Heavy with irony, Cascadia's brilliant stamp - that pointing finger, is absoultely spot on. Absolutism is such an interesting response to life where we intersect and share so much.
It's good to get mail art that makes me think even when my reaction is a degree of despondancy. We all need reminding and to face up to the way it is now in order to regroup and move forward to protest.

It's Thursday night in Jerusalem, 33AD. The entire city has receded into their homes to celebrate the Jewish feast of 'Passover', creating a sense of ethereal silence in the streets. The prophet 'Yeshua of Nazareth' and his followers gather secretly in the upper room of a private home. The food is prepared by the women. The Passover ceremony begins.
And then he does it again. Something unexpected, something controversial, something reserved for the servants, not the master. He bends down and begins to wash his follower's feet. "I am setting you an example" he says, "that you should do the same for each other". The ceremony was meant to begin with a washing of hands, not feet. Get comfortable; it's not the last controversial statement the carpenter will make that night. He's just warming up.
"One of you is about to betray me." Only one in the room knows that Jesus has just read his mind; the others are thrown into whispers of self-doubt. Eye-balling his betrayer he takes a piece of the unleavened bread, dips it into a dish of traditional salt water and says "Do what you have to do". The salt water represents the tears the Jews shed while they were in slavery in Egypt. The bitter irony is not lost. Judas slips away into the night.
This is a ceremony Yeshua has gone through many times his whole life. Four cups of wine to drink. 'Matzah' bread to break and share. Roasted lamb meal at the end. All has been thought through. Nothing is accidental.
He picks up the Matzah. As he breaks the bread in his hands, he goes on to break all tradition with his following words: "This is my Body…" What did he just say?? This bread is His flesh? Sounds mysteriously like something he said to the crowds recently which cost him half his followers (John 8). Silence as the bread goes around the table. No-one questions the Master anymore; they have learned not to. Just eat it.
They are up to the third cup of wine now. The alcohol is pleasing to the brain, creating an illusion of peace. Perhaps it's going to be a good night after all.
"This is my Blood". If the 'flesh' statement didn't wake them up, this one did. It is strictly forbidden for a Jew to eat anything with blood still in it, "for the life is in the blood" as the Law clearly says (Leviticus 17:11). To drink the blood of anything is unthinkable, repulsive, an abomination. He goes further; "This is the blood of the new and everlasting covenant, which is poured out for the forgiveness of sins." He passes the cup. Do you refuse? Peter tried that with the feet-washing thing; it didn't work out so well. As unsettling as it is, there is something more at work here; something more than the Law, greater than the rules of the ritual. Just drink the cup.
No-one makes the connection at the time. At the first Passover in Egypt, 4000 years before, an innocent Lamb without blemish is slain and its flesh eaten by those inside the house. Its blood is painted over the door-frames and windows so that the angel of death will see and 'pass over' the inhabitants (Exodus 12:23). The children of the Egyptians –those who didn't eat the Lamb and weren't protected by the blood – died in their beds. The Jews were delivered that night from slavery to freedom.
Yeshua sits back against the wall in a melancholy silence.
One day they will understand.

ReCode passed on a Financial Times report that a draft motion for the European Parliament would call for Google to separate its search services from other businesses and become two companies. The motion says "Unbundling of search engines from other commercial services" should be considered. Google holds 93% of the search market in Europe compared to 67% in the US.


text: How many #RelationshipGoals have you developed but find yourself in the same disconnected rut? Many of us have this vision of the partner, friend, parent, or spouse that we want for ourselves, yet for some reason that vision starts to feel more like a daydream. Sustaining, maintaining, and fostering a lasting connected relationship is difficult. I mean just think about this, focusing on your day to day life and emotions, while attempting to care and support other's emotional experiences and life. Do you get the visual of the person on the unicycle attempting to balance the dishes all while some lucky person just throws on more dishes? Well I do!

Anyone birth at this hospital? Could you share your pros/cons?
I would also be interested in feedback on St. Alexius. Plan to deliver there with first baby in Nov.
I was born at St Alexius, and my mother had a good experience with me and my three siblings, so I felt comfortable giving birth to my son here in 2008. However, I will not be going back this pregnancy. Most of the nurses were NOT pleasant (I got yelled at post partum because I asked if it was okay to take some ibuprofen at 2am when pain meds wore off - son was c-section). Also, during my 5 day stay, not a single nurse could get my IV in correctly. They had multiple nurses attempt to insert it 11 times during my stay... after a point, it seemed like a game to them to see who would be able to finally get it in correctly. None did. I was bruised for weeks after. I have never had a problem with my veins/taking blood/getting IVs inserted before. Also, my son was born with two bottom teeth. The first thing the nurse says to me after his birth is "don't be alarmed", which of course caused me to become alarmed (I was in the middle of surgery having my first born!) and then she proceeded to tell me about the teeth issue... Which seemed like something that could have been mentioned after my belly was closed up and I was assured that my son was in fact a boy and was okay... There was one nice nurse during my 5 day stay, but that was about it. I will be going elsewhere for my 2nd child.
Thank you!!
I think you mean Alexian Bros in Elk Grove Village. The hospital she's asking about is St. Alexius in Hoffman Estates. It's part of the Alexian Bros network, but is a brand new hospital that just opened last year. So you would have to be REALLY young to have been born there! :)
St Alexius in Hoffman Estates off Barrington Rd was not built last year... I gave birth to my son there in 2008, and I was born there in 1987 when it had a different name... I have never been to Elk Grove Village.
^^^ I was born in 1982 at St Alexis when it was called Humana
Yes, thank you, I believe it was called Humana when I was born there in 87 as well.

The Children's hospital is new but added to St. Alexis
i delivered in December 2013 and had a wonderful experience. nurses were super nice and extremely helpful during birthing process and recovery.
I work at st alexius in Hoffman estates. They opened up a new women's and children's hospital in April 2013. It's right on campus next to st alexius. It's a beautiful hospital !!! I had my two kids at alexius in 2006 and 2011 and now pregnant with my third , so it will be my first time delivering in the new women's and children's hospital.
Thank you! Good to know.
Thanks everyone! I appreciate your help :-)
I gave birth on February 2014. I had a wonderful experience with this hospital. All nurses and staff members were amazing! I will be happy to give birth there again :)
I delivered in the new maternal hospital at st alexius two years ago when it first opened and plan to again next July with baby #2. I had a great experience and loved my labor nurses. The room you deliver in is gigantic and comforting. However, my nurses once I moved to the mommy/baby floor were not as friendly. They wake you every two hours to check on you, even through the night but the hospital itself is great. Order one of everything off the menu for your meals because it's small portions and you will be hungry! I would be happy to answer any more specific questions you have about my experience! You can email me at email@example.com
Delivered there when they first opened the new facility April 2013 - beautiful facility, large comfy rooms. Hubby and I were there 5 days (c-section) and he was very comfortable. Nurses were great....as mentioned below, they do wake you every 2 hours to check your BP etc, but I'm not sure if that's different than other hospitals? They also have the baby stay in the room with you. You can ask to have baby sent to nursery for a little if you need rest though. I will deliver my 2nd son there in February. Best of luck to you!
I had my lo there in June 2014. I loved it. The new mother infant building is so nice...all private rooms. Oh and I loved the one nurse I had named nurse Suzy....she made me stay until my lo was able to latch....and she did it...none of the other nurses or LC really helped me just gave me a plastic nipple which was a pain since it kept falling off...lol. But I loved it there.

I'm 35 weeks this week and I'm barely doing my homework searching for a recommended pediatrician. I would prefer a doctor that will work with St. Alexius hospital in Hoffman Estates, which is where I plan to deliver. Can anyone recommend?homehomework...

For their hard work and achievement, our young makers that have built the Electric Vehicle (EVIB) at BONEVET in Gjakova, have been rewarded by BONEVET's Board and Staff, a visit to the renowned sports car plant: RIMAC Automobili, close to Zagreb. An unforgettable visit to a remarkable and unique technology house.
Rimac Automobili was founded with the vision to create the sports car of the 21st century. They first had to invent various technologies to make this possible and that those technologies could do much more. Today, they are unleashing the full potential of Nikola Tesla's invention, the alternating current electric motor, in many ways and industries.
The man behind the concept, Mate Rimac, says: "The Concept-One achieves today what many wouldn't consider achievable even in the future. It shows that the future of transportation is not boring or slow but fun and better in every way. It takes the fear of the future away and makes us excited and awaited. Now think about all that technology applied in many other products and applications across different industries, driving the change towards a time beyond fossil fuels."
EVIB-Team with Mate RIMAC in front of the RIMAC-Plant (Sv.Nedelja, August 29th, 2017)
With the successful finalization of the EVIB project our makers have made an important first step in building an electric vehicle, and today during the RIMAC-Plant-Tour they have learned how broad the horizon of knowledge and technology can be.
"You are lucky children to have an environment like BONEVET that stimulates your creativity. Make good use of it." – said Mate Rimac to his young visitors.
During the plant-tour, which was led by our charming host Ana, we have seen a unique R&D department with more than a 100 well educated young engineers, many highly skilled technicians in the production, and other hard working personnel. RIMAC's success is its passionate team, a combination of strongly motivated young people with love for technology.
"Starting from today our makers probably have a new role model in the personality of Mate Rimac, a young and successful entrepreneur, that has achieved success with passion and hard work. To be successful in life you must never stop your desire for learning and improving. You must do that with love and dedication. You must be a good example for the other young makers of BONEVET and wider." – says Vllaznim Xhiha, who had joined the team during the visit to the RIMAC-Plant.

A massive banner bearing Russian President Vladimir Putin's image, the Russian flag, the Syrian flag, and the word "peacemaker" was seen billowing off the side of the Manhattan bridge in New York City on Thursday.
At least two people unfurled the giant banner around 1:45 p.m., the New York Post reports.
The incident coincides with the US and Russia suspending bilateral talks on the Syrian civil war and Russian officials threatening to shoot down US planes flying over Syria without warning.
Far from making peace in Syria, Russia has been accused by many in the international community of bombing hospitals and UN humanitarian convoys in Syria.
Gothamist writer Rebecca Fishbein notes that a pop-up shop selling Putin-themed trinkets in New York's Gamercy neighborhood in 2014 went by the name "Peacemaker." Still, it's unclear where the flag was made and who unfurled it.
The Banner has since been removed by police.

Shirk tactics
The proceedings that took place inside the RS today would make any citizen of India squirm with shame.india Updated: Mar 21, 2007 03:20 IST
The proceedings that took place inside the Rajya Sabha on Monday would make any citizen of the largest parliamentary democracy in the world squirm with shame. To make matters worse, this was not the first time that the nation has been witness to the Budget session of Parliament being held hostage to the din of agit-prop politics. Last year, it was the 'office of profit' issue that was used to steamroll legislative business during the Budget session. The year before, there were similar 'shut-downs' orchestrated by Opposition MPs protesting against the cash-for-questions scandal. On Monday, it was the turn of Opposition leaders to force the Rajya Sabha into being adjourned. Things took an ugly turn when BJP chief whip SS Ahluwalia pushed his way to try and stop the Finance Minister from replying to the debate on the General Budget, a matter that clearly required the attention of all in the House, if not their approval.
Blocking proceedings — especially during the Budget session of Parliament — is not how a parliamentary system is supposed to work to register protest against any contentious issue. Laws pertaining to the Union Budget cannot be simply left in a deadlock. For India's economic policies, as translated into law, to remain undiscussed suggests that political maturity is sinking to new lows. One would have thought that the BJP, a national party that knows the extreme importance of the Budget session in the nation's legislative cycle, would have refrained from using mob tactics. Instead, its senior leaders sat back while a farce was being played out inside Parliament.
And it is not the BJP alone that needs to be singled out for such criminal disruptions. In the past, other contentious issues like the Tehelka scam in 2001 saw the Budget session falling by the wayside, to be overwhelmed by oppositional (then Congress) drum-beatings. What does derailing Budget session proceedings — that actually account for the 'bread and butter' issues of the country — actually manage to do? Nothing and nothing — in terms of pushing the oppositional cause as well as conducting much-required go-aheads to economic laws. There is a danger that such baleful instances of 'running riot' will increasingly be seen as turning into a tradition. MPs of both Houses should seriously understand that whatever their political disposition, the Budget session requires a bipartisan approach that allows it to be conducted with all the seriousness that it deserves. No one has the right to play politics with the economic future of India and its people.

Indiana at Maryland
|Date & Time
|Friday January 11, 2019, 7:00 PM (EST)
Xfinity Center
College Park, Maryland
|The Line
Maryland Terrapins -5 O/U: 142
|TV Channel
The Indiana Hoosiers and the Maryland Terrapins will meet up in college basketball activity on Friday.
Indiana comes into this one at 12-3 on the season so far. The Hoosiers had a seven-game win streak going against Northwestern, Penn State, Louisville, Butler, Central Arkansas, Jacksonville and Illinois before falling against Michigan in their last appearance.
In the loss to the Wolverines, Indiana's Juwan Morgan led the team on 25 points and eight rebounds. Romeo Langford was also in double-figures for the Hoosiers with 17 points, six rebounds and two assists.
Over on the Maryland side, they're 13-3 this year. The Terrapins fell to Seton Hall back on December 22, and since have taken out Radford, Nebraska, Rutgers and Minnesota in succession.
In the win over the Gophers, Maryland's Anthony Cowan topped the team with 27 points, six rebounds and five assists. Jalen Smith added 21 points and eight rebounds for the Terrapins, and Bruno Fernando doubled up on 10 points and 11 rebounds.
The Hoosiers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven Friday games and 9-4 ATS in the last 13 after a straight-up loss. Indiana is 2-5 ATS in their last seven following an ATS loss and 1-4 ATS in their last five versus the Big Ten.
Meanwhile, the Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last five versus the Big Ten and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five following an ATS win. Maryland is 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine overall and 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 home games.
In case you missed the game, Indiana never got all that close to Michigan, as the Hoosiers fell behind 44-29 after the first half and ended up falling 74-63. It was pretty much the same thing that happens to every team that plays the Wolverines.
As for Maryland, they're chugging along on a nice little run of their own and the scoring hiccups they had in early December seem long gone. I think Indiana covers here, but it should be a tight game.

Good morning! How are you today? I'm currently snuggled on my couch sipping on my coffee. For me, that's the perfect way to start a Friday. I think having a moment to just sit still and enjoy the morning is really important. However you like to enjoy your morning, I'm wishing you a restful one! Today we are continuing our series on thankfulness. With that in mind, I have a question for y'all.
What are you grateful for?
I don't want you to answer this quickly. Take a moment and really think. What has happened today, yesterday, this week or month that you are thankful for? Sometimes, when we are caught up in the day-to-day, moment-by-moment stuff of daily living, we forget this. I struggle to think of something sometimes. Life just happens and often I forget to pay attention to it. So, take a deep breath, and spend a moment remembering.
When I think about this question, I think first of the coffee I'm holding, I'm terribly thankful for that joy. But, then I think of the beautiful weather I've seen this week, the encouraging text a friend sent, the two (yes two) free Starbucks drinks friends brought me yesterday, and the cooking magazine my momma mailed me. If you asked what happened this week, I can't tell you anything dramatic. Life happened. School, work, friends. When I stop a moment, like we just did, and process through the little moments, I rediscover the small things.
When pursuing gratitude or thankfulness, that's often how it is. Sure, sometimes you'll win the lottery, you'll say, "I do," or you might get a promotion. Those moments are amazing and wonderful but, if you wait to practice faithfulness until something big happens, you may be waiting a long time.
That's why thankfulness is not something we can just practice when everything is perfect. (We're going to talk next week in depth about that so, stay tuned!)
Alright, so we have taken a moment and thought about little things we are thankful for, now what? This post is not intended to just make you feel warm and fuzzy. Rather, I believe that the more we learn about God and how He has designed us to live, the more we should act upon it. Gratitude is not solely a private act but also a public one.
We talked last week about the power of words. They can either be life or death. Y'all know that in this season, I'm focusing heavily on how I use my words, insuring that they are glorifying to God. I hope y'all have joined me on that mission. Along that same vein, I want to add a second challenge. I want to challenge you, and me, to encourage others in thankfulness.
Kindness seems like a small thing. A simple thing. We have a amazing impact on others and we often forget that. How we treat them, how we speak to them, and how we live our lives is noticed. It's seen and it has an effect. How will we leverage it?
This could look like you writing a letter, sending a text, or calling someone up. But, it also could look like you talking with someone you know about gratefulness. Ask them what they are grateful for. Share you experiences with them. Intentional conversations are meaningful and surprisingly rare in our culture. Try it out. See how God moves.

U.S. futures were offering little early direction, holding near the flat line as European benchmark indices drifted lower. A pre-open warning from Nasdaq market maker Knight NITE, +9.30% of a loss in the September quarter - where analysts were expecting a profit - may weigh on some financials. Knight cited "persistent lackluster market conditions." However, a warning overnight from auto parts Delphi Corp. DPH, -0.43% had little impact on the European auto stocks. Delphi, which cited rising steel costs, is a General Motors GM, -1.09% supplier. Oil stocks continued to rise as crude oil for November held $51 a barrel.

"We believe Google`s current valuation is beginning to account for considerable future growth prospects, and limited visibility into the company`s strategic direction may create a higher risk profile, which could curb future share appreciation," the analysts told clients. .P.

The exhibition will take place in two parts. The first is as a fringe event to the Grahamstown National Arts Festival where work from primary school youth will be showcased. The second phase will take place in September with the gallery's Spring School of Art for high-school learners, culminating in the Ik-stingkt exhibition showing in November.
Dr Ian Player, iconic environmentalist and founder of the Wilderness Foundation was at the launch of the first phase of the exhibition, on 4 June, 2013. "This artwork shows how we can oppose the evil of poaching through the good of our children. We all need to stand together to overcome this scourge."
Throughout history, nature has permeated the creative arts. It inspired Stone Age hunters to immortalise their expeditions on rock. Ancient Egyptians built elaborate temples to animal-headed gods. In the middle ages, mythical beasts adorned valuable manuscripts. In the 17th century, paintings were dominated by hunting scenes, while 18th century artists revelled in the beauty of natural habitats.
Recognising the impact of nature on every aspect of the art world, Ik-stingkt is a conscious collaboration between Conservation and Creativity in an effort to help save one of our country's most symbolic natural heritage icons – the rhino.
According to world renowned conservationist Dr Ian Player, this "remnant of the dinosaur age" will be wiped out within the next decade if the poaching crisis is not addressed through a collaborative, national and international rescue campaign. Dr Player also pointed out that if it weren't for the drive to preserve rhinos in the 1950's, there wouldn't be any national parks in South Africa. "It is because of the white rhino that we have our national parks where tourists can learn about the soul of Africa. Nature is in our souls."
Through an educational outreach initiative, Ik-stingkt has helped to showcase the voice of the youth on the poaching crisis. Artwork produced by students at local government schools is displayed at the Ik-stingkt exhibition together with pieces by acclaimed Cape Town artist, Nix Davies.
Scholars throughout Nelson Mandela Bay have been invited to take part in this unique collaborative exhibition merging Conservation and Creativity, and to take a stand against a crisis that could see the disappearance of this iconic African species.
The first phase of the exhibition is registered as a fringe event on the Grahamstown National Arts Festival calendar, and will run from June 27-July 07, 2013.

Jo Johnson MP attended the Petts Wood May Fayre on the first May Bank Holiday.
This wonderful annual event was blessed with sunshine this year - and the crowds came out to celebrate.
The traditional May Queen parade was followed by the crowning of this year's May Queen, Suzanna Lovelock, by the Mayor of Bromley, Cllr Kathy Bance. Visitors also enjoyed a range of performances during the course of the afternoon, refreshments from local businesses and the much anticipated raffle.
Jo said: 'The Petts Wood May Fayre is a fantastic festival. The community spirit is wonderful and my warm thanks go to all who make this possible. There is clearly a great deal of work which goes into planning this event as well making sure everything runs smoothly on the day.'

Work with honour
The children, who
attend our program where possible, also attend a regular kindy or childcare
Parents also receive
support from one another in coming to terms with the day to day implications of
caring for a young child with special needs.
The approach is a
multi-disciplinary one where teachers, physiotherapists, occupational
therapists and speech therapists, paediatricians, families and teachers from
regular settings help each child to develop to their potential. Teachers at the ECDP and parents work
together to coordinate treatment that assists the child's educational progress
with these various professionals and plan the most appropriate way to meet each
child's needs.

Nico Rosberg: Vlog from Malaysian GP 2013
Nico Rosberg spoke of his disappointment after the Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix, where he obeyed team orders and kept his position behind team-mate Lewis Hamilton, although he was faster and kept asking if he could overtake.
"I'm really a mix of emotions at the moment. In general I definitely am disappointed as I would have liked to push through to the end and see how far I get with the Red Bulls. Winding back again, in qualifying I had really good pace, which was nice to see, but unfortunately with the rain I didn't get the best out of it. Sixth place was still ok. Then I went through the race, which was all going to plan. I was quick in the race and it was awesome to see Red Bull in front and fighting with them for the win. I felt I had the pace to fight for the win. I even had a fight with Sebastian (Vettel) coming out of the pits. I was very close, though not enough to give it a shot. It was all going well, though we lost out a little bit on the hard tyre and struggled a bit more. During Red bull's second to last stint, we dropped a little bit. But still yeah in the end ok I was going on Lewis and I gave it a couple of goes to try and overtake, but the double DRS didn't work out. Unfortunately (room service right behind me but probably not at the moment) the team said hold position and I decided to respect that afterwards. I understand that it's for the team. For sure it was a very important result. We have had a tough time lately and to be 3rd and 4th is really great, a nice stepping stone toward greater things to come. For now I'm disappointed, but for sure the next couple of days the disappointment will settle and I look forward to the next race. I've had some good success with this car and China is one of my favourite races coming up. Keep crossing your fingers for me and see you soon!"

As part of the Drawing & Watercolour course I teach at Merton Adult Education, I've been explaining perspective basics to my students. This has not only given me the chance to brush up my creeky perspective skills, but also to tackle subjects I would normally avoid.
In this small watercolour I worked from a photograph of a canal in Venice, courtesy of Pinterest.
As the original photo shows there's a basic sense of one vanishing point. However, trying to literally copy this following the vanishing point is a big lesson 1 challenge. That's why the painting was simplified.

Project Angel Heart

It all started with Lasagna. A single pan of Lasagna to be exact, Garfield's favorite food, but we're not talking about Garfield here. In 1991, a Denver Colorado resident, Charles Robbins decided that he had to help some friends with HIV/AIDS and donated a single pan of Lasagna. Robbins' single pan of Lasagna fed 12 people and from the first pan of Lasagna, Project Angel Heart was born. In 1999 Project Angel Heart spread from Denver to Colorado Springs.

In today's stormy and volatile seas, we have an unusual convergence of icebergs that the mainstream press seems unwilling to take seriously. As your independent navigators, we think that many of those icebergs can damage the already fragile U.S. economy with our "captain" and "crew" asleep at the wheel (or on the golf course or their yacht).
Obamacare is clearly "not ready for prime time." Implementation of major elements of the plan have been arbitrarily postponed. Obama's cronies and Congress have been excluded from having to participate. Even the unions are realizing that the forced social engineering shift from full-time to part-time work, the higher costs for poorer health-care service, discouragement of job creation and higher income taxes have put union workers and middle-class employed in a squeeze. The middle class is being wiped out with bad government policy. It is the consumer spending of this class that drives the economy; without having money left to spend, the economy will suffer.
The results are a poorer middle class, greater government dependence and higher government operating costs with no incentives to work efficiently. Wishful thinking has turned into disastrous results and slowed economic growth.
