Social Work: Brentley Frazer
"The case for E-Prime rests on the simple proposition that 'isness' sets the brain into a medieval Aristotelian framework that makes it impossible to understand modern problems and opportunities." – Robert Anton Wilson 1
At a tender age, while attending Primary at Greenvale State School in Northwest Queensland, Brentley Frazer learns the meanings of the words suicide, rape, jacking off, growling out, and a number of common swears, with which he promptly attempts to shock his parents. His parents belong to a Protestant, Anti-Trinitarian cult called The Truth. He remembers his own circumcision. Soon, while part of a rebellious schoolyard gang called The Wreckers, he discovers tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, amphetamines, pornography, madness, family violence and death.
Frazer's first long-form work, Scoundrel Days, is a memoir that employs a literary constraint known as English Prime, or E-Prime, as a method to overcome the "static hum of reflection" … "with an adult voice reflecting back on childhood, telling the viewer what the characters are thinking and feeling."2
This constraint, which prohibits use of the copula (the verb 'to be' and it's tenses, including the words am, are, be, been, being, is, was and were), has proven highly effective in providing Frazer's first person present narrative with a sense of immediacy, and strength of connection to the characters and events portrayed. The book is brutal at times yet articulated with a poet's voice. Importantly, it stretches itself occasionally beyond the purely personal account to comment on the social and political aspects of Australian life: "They stand around on their own side of their picket fences saying things like Oh, the Abos, they don't participate … if only they'd stop drinking and integrate. You see the irony, people talking about integration over fences."
How do your values differ from those of your family?
Brentley Frazer: I value making art and enjoying life very highly. I'm not sure art rates a mention in my family's value system.
Do you have a favourite family story?
BF: There are plenty of stories including a great grandmother who was ambidextrous and could write two different letters at the same time, a great uncle or something that invented the can opener, and the time we all got kidnapped by aliens.
What do you hope for?
BF: Personally, to live long and prosper and die before my children; and for the place we call the world, I'd love all the animals to play nicely for a change.
What do you think is your main purpose in life?
BF: Bill Hicks and Buddha explained to everyone that life is just a ride and Einstein proved time is relative, but no-one wants to believe them.
Do you think its ok to lie?
BF: Truth is the most important thing we have, so I try to conserve it.
What does freedom mean to you?
BF: The realisation that there are no gods and no masters in the real world and that the real world is a savage garden full of people who are half animal and half angel. As Mike Tyson said: everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.
What do you think are the most important social issues today?
BF: The rise of egomaniacal lions and fascist idealism appealing to their prides.
Do you think things happen for a reason?
BF: Yes . . . but for not for a purpose.
What beliefs do you have that you think will never change?
BF: That every humanimal alive is divine and fallen.
Do you believe in the supernatural?
BF: Just because you believe something doesn't mean it's true.
Is any religious text important to you?
BF: Yes, Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire.
What do you like the best about your body?
BF: It's three-dimensional . . . it must suck being a cartoon.
What do you think would be the best thing about being the opposite gender?
BF: The ability to judge the male human harshly without appearing a traitor.
Who is the best teacher you have ever had?
BF: Some withered beaten old person of indeterminate gender at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere who said to me that no matter what any god, master or holy book says, knowing the truth can only happen in your own experience.
Have you ever been lost?
BF: I feel lost in this stolen nation in which I was born. I recently had a collection of poems published, which I titled Aboriginal to Nowhere. According to a Google exact phrase search, I am the first person in history to write those three words together. I think I articulate how lost I feel quite well in that book.
What was your favourite book as a child?
BF: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
If I asked a good friend of yours what you were good at, what would they say?
BF: Something cliché because you put them on the spot.
What stays the same in your life, no matter how much other things change?
BF: My joie de vivre and my inability to pronounce French words.

"In Love We Trash" project has carried Basurama to Rio de Janeiro after passing through cities like Bangkok, Casablanca, Istanbul, Cairo or Gdansk. Continue their environmental activism from the field of art developing, in a high scenic value environment, an initiative borned of a visual poem in the vein of his critical work with consumer habits. All that, thanks to the participants of a multidisciplinary workshop that helped hand in hand the collective.
"«For us the bag is the symbol of consumption. Is meant to be discarded and also is used to carry bought objects, which are to be consumed», explains Alberto Nanclares, 34, also founder of Basurama.
It is a Spanish art collective dedicated to launch queries about consumption and the contemporary economy through interventions, installations and art pieces. «In this case, we wanted to honor the visual poem "Lixo e Luxo" by Augusto de Campos», tells Alberto."
"In order to achieve his feat, the group has launched a call for a workshop at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO). Ten Brazilian students have worked closely with the Spanish artists to the idea become a reality.
«It is a painstaking process: you have to open all the bags, one by one, put them together and combine them according to color. The pattern design of the letters is the only thing in which the computer was used. The rest was done manually on the floor by the students. We take care of every detail, we know how to cut the bags and how to design the pieces to fit», he adds."
"«Only is sustained by the air and that concept is related to the housing bubble, the consumer, with the speculative bubble in Rio», says Alberto.
«See the materialization of our work has been indescribable. Only when we put the letters stand we realized the grandeur of the project. This ephemeral work that we built together has resulted in a poetic way, but without losing sight of its purpose», says Wanessa.
«The confrontation with Sugar Loaf Mountain first, and with the fantastic scenery of the Bay of Guanabara and Rio sunset allowed me to reflect on what can be considered a luxury. Luxury is a library and a public university, much as it is an expensive home in a restricted area, or as is the luxury of the landscape. However, there are key differences between them: the luxury collective which represents a public university is precisely a way of generating social, economic and even financial wealth, although this is endeavoring to count it as an expense or as a waste», speculates Alberto. "
Interesting and visually powerful this proposal that, as we have read, arises and pretends to be raised relevant topics such as raising consumption patterns, the speculative culture or the luxury that could represent a decent education or the need to care the landscape.

I've run once this week. Three miles. That's it. I'm supposed to run today as a last ditch effort to put some mileage in before the week ends. Instead, I've been eating pretzels and watching the Olympics. You know, watching other people workout while I sit around and eat.
I need a schedule stat! Turns out I've been too lazy to even create one in the past month. When you don't have a schedule, you do the most random things, like run a 6 miler a random weekend because you felt great and the weather was great. Whoops. Go directly to jail and do not pass GO (aka take 2 weeks off training and start back at 3 miles because your lungs did not appreciate that).
About that 6 miler though… it felt brilliant. I haven't been that happy in a long time. My body WANTS to run some long runs. But my lungs are still getting back into things. My body still has the fitness though so I can't stand starting over from scratch. I think that's contributing to my laziness. It's hard to stay inspired in this situation, even though I'm really grateful for even being able to run right now.
It's also really easy for days, weeks, and months to get away from you if you don't have a race dictating your every workout. And I thought I'd feel so energized after I finished grad school but I feel like my body just switched off along with my brain. I'm running LESS now that I have MORE time. Figures. What's that expression? – If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. – Asking my lazy self to run is not working.
Who else is getting SUPER EXCITED about the marathon tomorrow?!?! 🙂

Modeling Respectful Behavior: Whose Job Is It?
When I'm working with a new client and making a case for modeling respectful behavior in the workplace, there is an inevitable hurdle to clear first: acknowledging there is a problem, so leaders stop passing the buck on accountability. If I've heard this complaint once, I've heard it a thousand times. Every time I show managers and leaders the data that clearly demonstrates our workplaces are becoming increasingly disrespectful, someone starts to complain, saying "Aren't employees just too sensitive these days? Managers and supervisors are always having to walk on eggshells."
I'll admit, I find this question challenging, because not too long ago, people could say and do all sorts of disrespectful things to each other and it wasn't considered a big deal by leadership. Targets of disrespectful behavior either had to suck it up or find another job. Besides, as the old saying goes: "Business is tough. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."
How Disrespectful Behavior at Work Affects the Bottom Line | Thing of it is, these days, people are leaving the kitchen, in droves. Research consistently shows that organizations with higher incidences of disrespectful behavior have higher turnover rates, absenteeism, presenteeism (showing up and hardly working), complaints, and lower productivity, performance, loyalty, engagement, and resilience. The fact is, disrespectful behavior, even if considered "no big deal" by managers, has a big negative impact on the bottom line.
Yes, there's no doubt our workplaces have changed in the last 15-20 years, and, yes, a valid argument can be made that our employees have become more sensitive to disrespectful behavior. But, the reality is, we're never going back to the days where being disrespectful was tolerated. This begs the question: whose job is it to adjust to this new reality, the employees or their managers and supervisors? As far as I'm concerned, the people who get paid to manage and supervise are the ones who should be doing the adjusting.
Leaders Set the Benchmark on Respectful Behavior | If you're a boss, then finding out what works, or doesn't, with your employees is what you get paid for. In today's workplace the old command-and-control, carrot-and-stick management styles simply don't work anymore because they're considered disrespectful by most employees regardless of age.
After more than 25 years serving global companies, our experience has found that Respectful Leadership is a consistently effective management style that has a measurable, positive impact on retention, engagement, performance, productivity, partnership, and profits. These are the things that matter most to folks in the C-Suite.
Treating others with respect is a simple practice that doesn't require walking around on eggshells. All it takes is an acknowledgment that the world of work has changed, and that modeling respectful behavior and rebuilding respect where it's been lost is the leader's responsibility.
For more on respectful leadership, please watch my new video: https://vimeo.com/257456882

If you read my post Time to Find Inner Balance, then you know it's been a crazy two years. There has been so much going on with my job and daily life that I haven't taken much time to travel outside of work trips.
Then, a friend of mine moved to Seattle and found herself struggling to make friends. Apparently there is something called "the Seattle freeze". She asked me if I wanted to come visit and help her tackle the neighborhood by finding some new places to go and meet new people. I decided I wanted to help, but also wanted an adventure, and planned a birthday trip for myself to Seattle.
So here we are. It has been only two weeks since I landed back in Los Angeles, and I'm missing Seattle horribly.
If you have never been, I highly recommend it.
If you have been, well then you know.
Seattle is one of the most stunning cities I have ever been to.
Mind you, I love rain and gloom. If you do not love these things, I suggest planning your trip during the approximate 10 weeks of sunshine available in Seattle. In addition to the rainy weather, there are a few reasons why this city is so much fun for me when I visit.
First, I have family just outside of Seattle. They live in a small community within Tacoma called Lakewood. Whenever I get to visit my aunt, uncle and two cousins it's a good time. Their current house is on a small lake, so we will often use it during the summer time to go slalom skiing or wake surfing. During my most recent visit, I decided it would be a great time to go kayaking – forgetting that the weather is very different from Los Angeles right now… It was fantastic, but definitely cold so I'll remember that for next time. Must bring warm waterproof clothing.
Then, of course, there is my favorite thing to do in Seattle – EAT!
Visiting family always ensures delicious meals. My uncle is particularly good at grilling salmon, which will never cease to be a favorite dish for me.
Overall, the seafood is so good in this area. Obviously you have fisherman coming back from Alaska with quality product.
The only food that I really struggle to find in the area is Mexican food. As someone coming from Los Angeles, where we are much closer to the border and privileged to have some of the best Mexican restaurants around, I always look for restaurants because it's my comfort food. Alas, I have yet to find any restaurants or trucks that serve really great Mexican food.
I did fulfill a food fantasy though. I'm an enormous fan of Alice in Wonderland. I love everything about it. Then I found out there is an oyster place called The Walrus and the Carpenter, it was promptly added to my food bucket list. My friend went with her dad and raved about it, so she made sure that we went while I was in town for my birthday dinner.
I'm so glad we did. This place was everything I had hoped for. Without too much context to neighborhoods in Seattle, I wasn't really sure where the restaurant was located. We took a Lyft and as the car pulled up I thought we were in the wrong spot. The restaurant is in a somewhat deserted corner of the street it's on, and there is not a lot of lighting. It definitely made the sign stand out.
We put our name down for a seat – and the place was buzzing but the wait was about 45 min – and the host suggested we take a seat at their neighboring bar Barnacle.
Owned by the same people, this place is essentially an extension of the restaurant. We ordered a few excellent cocktails and even a quick snack before dinner.
If you do decide you want to check out The Walrus and the Carpenter, feel free to make a reservation if you need to, but I think that sitting at Barnacle should be a part of the experience. Maybe just be sure to stop by after if you do make a reservation.
That was definitely one of my favorite moments in the trip. I'm a sucker for oysters – they are so good!
You can't be in Washington state, let alone Seattle, without commenting on the landscape.
The best part about this city is how stunning the port is and how green the state is. Everywhere you look are beautifully green trees and some of the bluest water I've ever seen. I decided that I needed to take a ferry because it's the one thing I have never done in all of the years that we have visited the area.
So I planned a ferry ride over to Victoria, BC. Originally this trip was meant to be with my friend, but she was held up at work (understandably) and was unable to join me. I decided to go anyways and bought a day trip ferry ride over to Canada.
If you take this trip – DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSPORT.
Seems like a very obvious statement, but there will always be that one person who forgets.
The trip started around 6 am when the boat took off. The trip over lasted about two hours, then I had about 8 hours to explore as much as possible before the return trip.
If you get the chance to take this trip to Victoria, I have one recommendation – visit during the spring or summer months. This city is largely parks. When it's cold outside nothing is really blooming, so it's most likely a vibrant trip during the warmer months.
Never-the-less, I had a great time.
Something that I prefer to do, especially when I'm traveling alone – is to do a double decker bus tour. Some people say it's too touristy, and if that's your stance then I understand. But I find this allows me to absorb as much as I can as quickly as I can.
It's worth noting that I do this in almost any city I visit, if I have never been before, because I really like to get as much information about the history as possible before venturing out. I also really love that you can get a bird's-eye view before picking parts of the city to hangout in or venture deeper. I have also found – although only in New York City – that there is an additional benefit of using the bus as a taxi later in your trip. There have been many times where I will go one round on the bus before taking it again, and then utilizing the "hop on, hop off" approach.
While in Victoria I decided to visit Craigdarroch Castle… and I'm not going to lie, it's a little anti-climactic. If you're really interested in the Victorian era, definitely go. If you are like me, however, and hear "castle", get excited like it'll be super European and massive and exciting – you will be disappointed. It's much more of a mansion on a hill that feels slightly haunted.
Overall… Victoria was really great. It was fun to just be able to say I spent the day in Canada.
It is much more of a town for old people. All of the tourist stuff is right by the water – shops for maple syrup and lumberjack pjs, etc. During the tour they mentioned that the city has started to peak the younger generation's interest and so the overall vibe has begun to shift. But as the tour went on, you could see a lot of housing developments for those who are retired.
I was satisfied with a quick trip.
Bookstores and coffee shop hopping all day.
As a book nerd, it shocks me that I have never sought out bookstores during any of my visits to Seattle. I have no idea how it is possible, but this was in fact the first trip I have ever taken time to shop at the local bookstores.
I hit up three in particular:
Elliott Bay Book Co. – This is by far one of the best book stores I have ever spent time in. It was so amazing (in my opinion) that it's a factor in my personal debate of whether to move to Seattle or not.
Located in the heart of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, The Elliott Bay Book Company is a full service bookstore, home to over 150,000 titles, set on cedar shelves in a multi-level, inviting unique atmosphere.
We offer one of the region's best selection of new books, as well as a large collection of bargain editions. Elliott Bay presents an unparalleled schedule of author readings and events throughout the year."
Left Bank Books Collective – This was one of the most unique book stores I have ever been to. The selection of books is very left wing (as the store name implies). Located right in the heart of Pike Market it's definitely worth browsing.
"Left Bank Books has been a fixture of Seattle's radical community since 1973 when a group of people split off from the University District's Red and Black Books to form their own collective bookstore in the Pike Place Market. The two projects would continue as separate but mutually supportive projects until the mid 90's when Red and Black closed its doors. For much of the 80s and 90s, the Left Bank Books Collective expanded to include two other projects: AKA Books, a used bookstore in Seattle's University District, as well as a wholesale distribution and mail order project known as Left Bank Distribution. Neither of these projects exists today due to financial problems and rental situations in Seattle.
Left Bank is collectively owned and operated by its workers, and has been since its inception. As an anarchist collective, Left Bank has no bosses or managers. Decisions are made in bi-monthly collective meetings based on a consensus process. Despite all the changes over the years, Left Bank Books continues to thrive at our Pike Place Market storefront thanks to Seattle's radical community and the many folks who visit us from out of town. See you next time you're in the neighborhood!"
BLMF Literary Saloon – Walking into this bookstore was fantastic. Tucked away in the bottom floors of Pike Place Market there are stacks upon stacks of second hand books everywhere. The owner was incredibly helpful and the prices were reasonable. Unfortunately I couldn't find a website to provide any more details, but the Yelp reviews speak for themselves.
I certainly hope that this isn't the last time that I go book shopping in Seattle.
Like I said, it has been a little difficult for me to acclimate back into the Los Angeles lifestyle. I love living in LA so much, especially now that I have honed my skills of avoiding traffic and Hollywood. But, you never know where I might end up. This vacation has me seriously considering what a lifestyle change might look like if I were to move.

We were having a leakage issue in our basement that was due to moisture in our chimney. The frigid Chicago weather has caused quite a havoc this winter. Lindemann was able to diagnose the problem and ... - Steve M. (Chicago, IL)
My experience with Lindemann was excellent. They came out and did what no one else could. Mine was a smoke issue. After having a fire the entire house would smell of smoke. I could have hung pork bell... - Frank F. (Mount Prospect, IL)
These guys are great! We had our chimney inspected/cleaned by Jim who was extremely knowledgeable and super nice! Definitely recommend these guys! And free wood with the chimney cleaning! Super! ... - Steve S. (Chicago, IL)
With winter coming to a close (soon-ish), it's time to start thinking about how to properly take care of your fireplace and chimney when they will no longer be in use. Below, you will discover four very helpful tips that will help to ensure the longevity of your fireplace and chimney and protect your home.
One of the most important things you can do in terms of fireplace maintenance is clean your chimney regularly. The Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) recommends cleaning your chimney when there is 1/8" of visible soot on the inside of the flue. This not only reduces the risk of fire by removing dangerous creosote, but it can also help reduce the risk of pungent odors in the summer, prevent respiratory issues, and keep things clean all-around. You may need to clean more often than this, especially if you use your fireplace frequently, you have issues with your venting system, or you have used improperly seasoned wood at any point throughout the winter.
Even if you haven't had a single issue with your fireplace or chimney in many years, it's still crucial that you hire a professional to visually inspect your chimney at least once each year. During this inspection, the chimney professionals will look at all the visible areas of your fireplace and chimney, paying close attention to anything that could pose a danger to you, your family, or your home. By catching small issues early on, it's possible to avoid thousands of dollars in repairs later – and it may even safe your life.
Now that you won't be using your woodburning fireplace for a while, there's no need to create the updraft necessary to pull smoke from your fireplace out through the chimney. Inside your chimney is a metal door called a damper that opens and closes with a lever. When you light fires, you should ensure that the damper is open so that the warm air inside the fireplace can travel upward and outward through the chimney. However, when you will not be using the fireplace for some time, it is best to completely close off the damper to seal out the elements and improve your overall energy efficiency. (Note: If you have a gas fireplace, the damper should always remain open.)
If you have a gas fireplace rather than a woodburning one, there's a good chance that it contains a pilot light – a small flame that stays lit all the time, making it easier to create a bigger fire as more natural gas is introduced into the chamber. Though it's a good idea to leave the pilot on during the heating season, if you know you won't be using your fireplace for several months, snuffing it out is a great idea. Though it doesn't use much gas, it will consume energy over time, so it's always best to avoid it. In most cases, you can simply shut off the gas to the fireplace, then turn the unit from the "Pilot" setting to "Off". Contact your local gas company or fireplace manufacturer if you aren't sure about the proper procedures for shutting off the pilot light.
Though scheduling a chimney cleaning and inspection may not seem like the most exciting thing to do this spring, it can and often does save homeowners time and money in the long run. Not only will it help to prevent odors throughout the summer, but it can also help you stay safe – and that's well worth it.

The Challenge of Measuring Outcomes in Specialty Pharmacy
Specialty pharmacies with the tools to improve, measure and report on results can help patients achieve positive outcomes, something manufacturers look for when developing partnerships, writes pharmacist Joe Thomas.

Delhi's Master Plan has adequate provisions for industrial space, which have largely not been implemented. Current initiatives in respect of industries that are, as a consequence, largely in places not meant for them disregard Plan provisions to advocate inferior options. Available industrial space is also being denied to industries through policies to permit its misuse. Downsizing of Plan provisions for industries in the ongoing Plan revision, with grave socio-economic and environmental implications, is undoubtedly imminent.
Delhi's revised Master Plan approved in 1990 anticipated about 100,000 industrial units by 2001. Accordingly, it provided for well over 2000 hectares of planned industrial space spread all over, in new industrial as well as commercial development and also through redevelopment/regularisation and by shifting non-permissible units. Practically none of this space has been developed (more in Industrial Development in Delhi1). The number of units in Delhi is consistent with what was anticipated and provided for by the Plan. Naturally, most of them are in places not meant for industries, in ways very problematic for themselves and for the city. Now, instead of Plan implementation on priority, 'solutions' are being sought and offered through sub-standard relocation or Plan modifications for regularisation (more in 'Regularising' industries in Delhi2). This is even as there is obviously no way in which the 'problem' of 100,000 industrial units can be solved through a 'land-less solution'.
In 2001, when the Supreme Court extended the relocation deadline to 31 December 2002, the Master Plan revision had stared, requiring by law data on status of planned industrial space and so providing an opportunity to approach the problem holistically and sensibly. Unfortunately, recent announcements suggest that the on going Master Plan revision is unlikely to restore planned industrial space to units as government seems more inclined to legitimise its misuse. In May 2002, DDA came out with a scheme for regularising commercial use of industrial plots (more in Industrial Land in Delhi 2002-08-31+3). In February 2003 MoUD announced that a Plan modification has been notified to permit in five special industrial areas all types of industries(more in Industrial Land in Delhi 2003-02-11+4). The draft Plan for the National Capital Region, submitted in January 2003 to MoUD, also speaks of shifting all but hi-tech industries out of Delhi, despite total implementation failure on regional dispersal in the NCR in all these years.
What is alarming is that while on Plan entitlements of industries there is only sound and fury about both development and redevelopment/regularisation, on existing industrial land DDA and MoUD are actively permitting and policifying misuse. This is the exact opposite of what the statutory mandate of development according to Plan calls for and is happening despite legal processes associated with the Plan having become sub-review and the industries' matter being sub-judice. Downsizing of Plan provisions without any accountability on implementation failure seems imminent, especially since Plan revision seems not to be progressing according to due process.

In college, I took a course called Problems in Philosophy. Near the end of the semester, I sat in the back of the lecture hall, probably trying to discreetly eat a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich and trying to satisfy my participation requirement by speaking exactly once, while the class discussed Peter Singer's argument that the moral logic we apply to everyday life implies that we are obligated to forgo small luxuries in order to give to the very poor:
"To challenge my students to think about the ethics of what we owe to people in need, I ask them to imagine that their route to the university takes them past a shallow pond. One morning, I say to them, you notice a child has fallen in and appears to be drowning. To wade in and pull the child out would be easy but it will mean that you get your clothes wet and muddy, and by the time you go home and change you will have missed your first class.
I then ask the students: do you have any obligation to rescue the child? Unanimously, the students say they do. The importance of saving a child so far outweighs the cost of getting one's clothes muddy and missing a class, that they refuse to consider it any kind of excuse for not saving the child. Does it make a difference, I ask, that there are other people walking past the pond who would equally be able to rescue the child but are not doing so? No, the students reply, the fact that others are not doing what they ought to do is no reason why I should not do what I ought to do.
Once we are all clear about our obligations to rescue the drowning child in front of us, I ask: would it make any difference if the child were far away, in another country perhaps, but similarly in danger of death, and equally within your means to save, at no great cost – and absolutely no danger – to yourself? Virtually all agree that distance and nationality make no moral difference to the situation. I then point out that we are all in that situation of the person passing the shallow pond: we can all save lives of people, both children and adults, who would otherwise die, and we can do so at a very small cost to us: the cost of a new CD, a shirt or a night out at a restaurant or concert, can mean the difference between life and death to more than one person somewhere in the world – and overseas aid agencies like Oxfam overcome the problem of acting at a distance.
At this point the students raise various practical difficulties. Can we be sure that our donation will really get to the people who need it? Doesn't most aid get swallowed up in administrative costs, or waste, or downright corruption? Isn't the real problem the growing world population, and is there any point in saving lives until the problem has been solved? These questions can all be answered: but I also point out that even if a substantial proportion of our donations were wasted, the cost to us of making the donation is so small, compared to the benefits that it provides when it, or some of it, does get through to those who need our help, that we would still be saving lives at a small cost to ourselves – even if aid organizations were much less efficient than they actually are.
I am always struck by how few students challenge the underlying ethics of the idea that we ought to save the lives of strangers when we can do so at relatively little cost to ourselves."
I heard this argument, found it airtight, and was terrified. Was it wrong to buy a cup of coffee? Would I have to give up all of life's small delights in order to help others? I was already spending as little money as possible — I ate mostly rice, peanut butter, and bananas, and refused to buy "luxuries" like salt — and I didn't want to live that way forever. I decided that Singer's argument was too extreme, that it had to be wrong even though I couldn't articulate why. [1] I tried to push it out of my head for a year, but couldn't. I slowly accustomed myself to the idea of living on very little. I realized that I didn't need a big house, foreign vacations, or frequent restaurant meals to be happy. (I also learned that a year's worth of salt costs about a dollar and that I should buy that sort of thing instead of torturing myself.)
Second semester sophomore year, I saw a corner of a formal-looking letter peeking out from my boyfriend's desk drawer. I snooped and found out that he had become a member of Giving What We Can: he pledged to donate everything he made over some threshold to charities that work to alleviate global poverty. We talked, and talked, and I started donating to charities recommended by Giving What We Can and Givewell.
A year or so later, I got real about living far less luxuriously than the median American. I calculated the cost of rent, food, taxes, and insurance, and decided that I could comfortably live on about $18,000 per year, or far less if I moved to a less expensive area. [2] I also joined Giving What We Can, and pledged to donate the greater of 10% of my income or everything I made over $34k, post-tax and inflation-adjusted.
All of my friends have nicer homes than the 450 square foot one-bedroom that my fiancé and I pretend has two bedrooms. I have only ever paid for one trip that wasn't for the purpose of visiting my or my boyfriend's family, and it cost about $400. I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to cook cheap but healthy food. I don't feel deprived, because as long as I save money on the big things, I can afford to eat out regularly and buy clothes that don't have holes in them. In fact, joining Giving What We Can has relieved a lot of anxiety. I gave myself a $100 a month discretionary/fun budget and a $1000 a year travel budget, and as long as I stay inside that range, I don't feel guilty about spending money on myself instead of donating it.
After college, I found out that there's a movement behind the conclusions that I thought my boyfriend and I had come to on our own. "Effective Altruists" hold that people should be more altruistic and should try to have the greatest impact possible, which may mean to donating to cost-effective charities, working in an altruistic job, or earning as much money as possible in order to donate it. They are friendly and have Meetups and stuff.
[1] While it's possible to save a life for the cost of a night out, it isn't likely. For example, it costs about $5 for the Against Malaria Foundation, one of the most cost-effective charities, to provide a bed net, explain how to use it, and return months later to ensure that it is being used. Although malaria is very prevalent in some tropical countries, it causes death far less often than you would think; various organizations have estimated a cost per life saved of about $4000 for AMF. (Going off memory, don't quote me.) However, a thousand bed nets make hundreds of people healthier even if they don't save a life. Perhaps we should ask if we are morally obligated to move into an apartment that costs $150 less per month if doing so saves a life every two years.
[2] Two years out of college, these calculations seem pretty accurate. I've actually paid off my college loans and have been saving a large fraction of my grad student stipend.

ST. LOUIS – A St. Louis man released early from prison is back in jail, accused of second-degree murder for the apparent accidental death of his alleged accomplice in a Soulard carjacking.
According to St. Louis police, the three carjacking suspects only made it a few blocks early Tuesday morning before crashing the stolen SUV on 7th Street near Barton. One of the suspects was killed in the crash.
Twenty-two-year-old Percy Robinson was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and two counts of armed criminal action.
Under Missouri law (RsMO 565.021), a person can commit second-degree murder if he or she knowingly causes another person's death.
"And also if he or she – in perpetration or attempted perpetration of a felony or crime – or while fleeing such a felony crime another person is killed."
Professor Susan McGraugh, a legal expert at St. Louis University School of Law, knows this rule well.
"The felony murder rule: so if you are committing a felony or attempting to commit a felony or fleeing during the course of the felony and someone is killed, you are charged with murder for that person's death," she said.
In this case, Robinson and his accomplices were fleeing an alleged carjacking. Legally, it makes no difference if they were willingly in on the crime together.
"It doesn't matter that you knew or didn't know someone might be killed," McGraugh said.
Robinson had been released for a 2015 conviction for armed robbery. He remains jailed without bond.
Police did not release the name of the 20-year-old male suspect who died in the crash.
The other person in the vehicle, 18-year-old Courtney Clay, faces the same robbery and armed criminal action charges as Robinson.

Laminitis is the inflammation of the tissue that attaches the hoof to the underlying coffin bone much like the tissue that attaches your finger nail to the underlying bone. Horsemen also call it founder although some people say that foundered horses must have changes within the hoof indicating a chronic state. I suppose you could differ between the two by saying "laminitis" is the active inflammation and "founder" is the effect of that inflammation such as rings on the hoof or coffin bone rotation.
There are four things that are clearly evident that every horse owner should know.
- Skinny horses DO NOT founder.
- Most horses that founder are insulin resistant.
- Depending on the severity of laminitis, a horse with founder will never be normal again.
- The ONLY effective treatment is ICE – for a week or more and administered immediately.
This video clearly discusses the general principles of laminitis.
More links regarding laminitis and protein deficiencyAfter viewing the material here, there are several other links to view. The importance of adding a variety of protein sources cannot be understated to develop a strong hoof to prevent the separation of the hoof from the underlying coffin bone.
There is also a HorseTalk™ webcast to view on Laminitis.

North Las Vegas Police Department (Nevada) 1-702-633-9111
Her father was just arrested.
The father of 3-year-old Zaela Walker was arrested Saturday in connection with her August disappearance.
Ricky Beasley, 27, was charged with first-degree kidnapping and child abuse or neglect, as well as traffic-related charges, according to a release from the North Las Vegas Police Department on Monday.
Las Vegas Police arrested Beasley and Zaela'a mother, 27-year-old Lakeia Walker, after they received a tip that the girl's parents were at a local casino, located near Civic Center Drive and Cheyenne Avenue. Walker was released and is reportedly cooperating with police.
Authorities did not release much information about the case as it is still an active investigation, police said on Tuesday.
Zaela was reported missing by her grandmother, Carla Richardson, in August. Police officially announced the toddler is missing on Friday when she was not with her parents, who the Zaela was last seen with. An Amber Alert was not issued because there is no evidence Zaela was abducted or in danger, police said.
But Zaela is still missing and has not been seen in three months.

In the last two decades, an enormous amount of literature has appeared on the clinical, pathological and etiological aspects of lung cancer. One of the most important stimulants to the finding of supposed causes of lung cancer in the environment has been its alleged real increase. Although not all workers have accepted this idea, the majority have considered that this disease has increased in a real way and that the increase cannot be attributed wholly to advancing age of the population, to better diagnosis, or to the growing interest of the medical profession in the disease. The literature will not

Cables play very much important role in our life. It connects people and helps to connect each other. Networking cables refer to the combination of different kind of wires. All networking cables are divided into categories or can say in mediums. The first one has known as guided cable and the second one is unguided cable. Both categories have been classified according to their properties. Some categories have been distinguished according to their architecture and some has defined according to their characteristics. In early days, people use letters or they had to go itself for communication. There were not any medium to share messages and view to each other. But now we can share not only text data even we can share our photographs, videos and many more things.
In today's time so many ways of communication has been developed with new and latest technologies. This all could be possible by the sake of these cables. Use of cables is still increasing and touching so many other applications. Like fire retardant cables resist the fire to spread ahead. Fire alarm cables are used to alert people and users about the fire accidents. Cables are used in many ways. For example as low smoke cables are used to make environment pollution free. Actually these wires are manufactured halogen free gases that's a result at the time of burning it do not releases any kind of harmful gases. These wires are also known as eco friendly cables. A cable can be a combination of two wires which should be in twisted pair form. If we talk about the cable electrical, it refers the power cables or basic level of cables those performs simple operations like electricity transmission, signals transmission etc. for the better signal transmission or interference free data transmission different kind of insulations are used.
These insulations can be either single core insulation or multi core. These insulations purvey easy and best methods of data security. Single core cable and multi core cable both are different to each other in case of security and durability. These insulations depend on the required features. As if we are manufacturing low smoke cables or fire retardant cables than obviously we have to use chemicals which can resist the fire from spreading. As if we are manufacturing eco friendly cables then we have to use chemicals and material which are free from halogen gases. Being used this halogen free material, we can be sure that these wires will not be produce any kind of harmful gases and it is good also to manufacture eco friendly wires.
Cable electrical like fire alarm cable and low smoke cable are very necessary at the places like high floor buildings, apartments, offices, shopping areas, malls, entertainment fairs etc. Actually people die by sake of piousness gases instead burn in the fire. Smoke and piousness gases make people unable to run away and make safe it. So it is very necessary to install fire safety cables at the time of building or office construction.

Learn how faith, hope and love can influence the progress of our spiritual journey, as we grapple with the big questions of life, all seen and influenced by our world view, including: what is holiness?; living with mystery; living in the light of eternity; and living with other people.
This book clearly and simply distils practical, biblical truths for both new Christians and those more established in their faith. For centuries philosophers, theologians, writers, preachers and taxi drivers have sought answers to the really big questions, such as, Who am I? Why am I alive? Is there a God?
The book considers some similarly challenging questions that should guide the reader into a deeper knowledge of God's truth. Mirroring the mind of Selwyn Hughes, this is timely teaching for church leaders and all Christians who wish to reach those who are in the utterly secular world and have no understanding of the Christian faith. We are shown the difference faith, hope and love can make.
The Christian life is a thrilling journey and not just our final destination, with many twists and turns, all vital to our growth, but we are not alone – 'God is on the journey too'…

ATVA Steps Up Retrans Pressure
The American Television Alliance, the consortium of distributors and programmers formed last year, has entered the retransmission consent fight between founding member Mediacom Communications and LIN TV, placing ads in industry publications calling the broadcaster "greedy" for pulling its signal during Tropical Storm Lee, which recently battered the Gulf Coast.
Mediacom and LIN have been in a retrans dispute since Aug. 31 when the broadcaster pulled the signal for eight stations in five states after it could not reach a deal with the MSO, including Fox affiliates WALA-WFNA in the Mobile, Ala.-Pensacola, Fla., area hit hard by Tropical Storm Lee.
LIN had given Mediacom a one week extension for two stations in Norfolk, Va., during Hurricane Irene, but pulled those signals on Sept. 7, several days after the storm passed.

I passionately believe that singing regularly is one of the best things you can do for your life, not to mention one of the most healing, connecting things we can do for the world as a whole. And yeah, I get that it's easy to say that.
But I'm serious — so serious, in fact, that I've created Sing Portland! in such a way that it's pretty much impossible to find and excuse for not joining. Here are just a few of the ways that Sing Portland! is designed to accommodate everyone; the so-called "tone deaf", the "bad singers", and the people who say "Oh no, you don't want me in your choir!" included.
Rehearse when you like, where you like, as much as you like.
We have rehearsal locations throughout town, and you're welcome to sing at whichever one you like at any given rehearsal. We've also got rehearsals running on several days of the week, so you can come to whichever one suits your schedule.
If you miss a week, then you're absolutely welcome to double dip another week. If you want extra practice, then just come to more rehearsals! And if you're worried that you'll only be able to make a few sessions here and there, we've got you covered too. Just pick up a drop in card and come when you can.
Learn songs easily with our full support.
My approach with Sing Portland! is designed to work with total novices, experienced singers, and everyone in between. If you're worried about learning the songs, don't be!
We have practice tracks in our online, members-only Green Room, so you can listen along and practice on your own whenever you want. You can also read over lyric sheets there, just in case a phrase or two isn't quite sticking in your mind yet. Plus, this summer we've got a great program of African songs, all of which can be learned in one or two rehearsals. Join us for this short, 5-week term and you'll be amazed at just how much you've learned by the time we get around to our end of term singing party.
And of course, we don't only do rehearsals and singing parties. We also have karaoke nights, movie nights, musical singalongs, and for those who really want to max out their flexibility and make up their own songs, vocal improvisation.
Seriously, there's no threshold to singing that I won't knock down.
We'll do anything to inspire you and to make it easy for you to sing. If you're not sure whether we're a good fit for each other, you can come to your first rehearsal for free. While you're there, don't expect to have to audition — and don't be surprised if someone ends up telling you how everyone is truly good enough to sing at Sing Portland! After all, SP! is all about the experience of singing, not the perfection of every note.
When you are ready to dive in and join us, we've got sliding scale payment options (some with monthly payment options), so your membership can always suit your budget.
This is your invitation.
We'd love for you to come join us for a rehearsal. If you're still not quite sure about singing, then you're more than welcome to join us as an audience member at one of our singing parties.
Find out when you can drop in right here. We can't wait to see you soon!
