I have been using the Internet on a regular basis since 1992 and
I've been working in the so-called Information Technology business
since 1996. Since the last quarter of 2003 I am working full time
for my own company, MT Technology Partner,
which I founded in 1996.
The following are short summaries for some of the projects that I was involved in while working for my two last employers; Foresee AB (of which I was also a co-founder) and Icon Medialab AB. Information about more recent projects carried out under my own colours can be requested by e-mail.
On this project I was responsible for developing a few
specific functions, such as a weekly questionaire and
a section called "Rollboken" ("The
Role Book") that allows you not only to search for the
different plays that has been performed at Dramaten,
but also for the the actors, directors and authors that
has been involved in these plays.
The information dates all the way back to the opening on the 18th of February 1908.
This website uses the content management tool, Content Studio.
|Stora Enso
The objectives of this project was to completely
rebuild Stora Enso's old website into using
Vignette V/5, Java and
Microsoft SQL Server 2000
while heavily improving the usability of the back-end.
A few new functions where also added in both the
front-end and backend.
In the beginning of the project I was involved in identifying the existing functionality of the site and suggesting new solutions that became the base for the use-case documentation.
Later on I was responsible for the design, implementation and launch of the database parts of the system. All stored procedures were written in Transact-SQL and included interaction with the Vignette system database.
Finally I had a support role for the content-migration project in which data was transferred from the old database into the new.
The Aventis website (front- and
back-end) was released internally to Aventis five weeks after
the system design had started. While content was being produced
and entered through the back-end, bug fixes, a redesign and
development of additional functions and templates was done.
The platform consisted of Vignette V/5 and Oracle 8i and I was responsible for the design, implementation and live-setting of the database parts of the Content Management System. All stored procedures were written in SQL/PL.
During the last four months of the project I worked on the transition and on the database parts of a profiling system for the back-end together with Manuela Afonso at WCC in Parc De Sceaux, Paris, France.
Steelscreen is built around the same technology as
Delego [dot] Com (see
below). You have the web server, the component object
model layer (divided into application- and
database-components) running under the
Microsoft Transaction Server and a database.
In this project I was assigned for a few weeks to build and complete a few miscellaneous components. This included a MD5 hash-function (128 bit one-way encryption) and a wrapper for the SoftArtisans SAFileUp-component (storing the files on a separate fileserver). In order to make the MD5 encryption available on the existing databases I wrote a small migration application to go with it. Finally made one guest appearance in the database component, programming one of the use-cases. All the work where done in Visual Basic.
The website of this [dot] Com
company was up and running two months after the system
design started. A perfect example on how it shouldn't be done.
For me the project initially started with proof-reading the Use-Case documents and generating a Use-Case model for the project. Later on my responsibility has mostly been in the database component- and database layer where I've been working with both the VB component and writing packages and functions using Oracles SQL/PL.
In 2001 this site received a Merit Award (in the "E-Commerce B2B" category) at "The One Show Interactive" by "The One Club" (annual ID number: 010169N).
|Compaq Product Book
The Compaq ProductBook is the part of the Compaq [dot] Se
web site responsible for displaying the entire product range (including their
specifications and accessories) of Compaq. The focus when redesigning this part was
to make it as easily updateable as possible.
Being a 1,000-hour project with only two programmers this demanded the full scope of competence from the both of us - including writing requirement specification, functional design, system design, database design and finally implementation.
The solution involved dynamically updateable images, the possibility to upload (apart from images) complete specification- and accessory-lists saved from Excel directly into the database, and the ability to administrate the navigation individually for the different product-levels directly through the browser. It was written in VB Script.
|LetsBuyIt [dot] Com
I was borrowed to the LetsBuyIt [dot] Com
project during a period of roughly two weeks. My task was to investigate
how invoicing and cash on delivery could be incorporated into the site.
This included contacting an invoicing authorisation partner, a logistic partner and an invoicing control partner in order to, not only specify and document the protocols used to communicate with these different partners, but also to document the responsibilities between these and LetsBuyIt [dot] Com.
|Pocket Casino
This was a private project I did on evenings and weekends. My main
concern was to learn more about the new WAP technology
and in order to do that I decided to write a slot machine for the Nokia
WAP Toolkit (version 1.1).
The slot machine consists of three wheels with 22 symbols (32 virtual) all according to IGT's standard model and accepts one or three coins as tokens. The service was at first written in VBScript for ASP with an Access database running on Windows NT but was later ported to PHP3 with an mSQL database running on FreeBSD.
This project included writing (in C) a command-line GIF to WBMP converter for the images used in the application.
|Nordic Datadistribution / Manora
This project was probably the most ungrateful project I've ever
done. I was told to make bug fixes and optimisations on the existing
site but after one week with this awful code I gave up and rewrote
large portions of it from scratch instead. This included the
shopping cart, the favourites, the search function, the presentation
of all the products and their delivery
status (including packages) and the
functionality for opening the pricelist into Excel.
The site was written in a mixture of VBScript and JScript in ASP and the database model came from a program called VISMA that the customer used internally.
It was quite a relief when the project was delivered and closed.
|Scandinavian Airlines (SAS)
I was assigned this project to aid Mattias Johansson in writing the
System Requirement Specifications (SRS)
of the administrative interface and the public support pages of the site.
Eventually I also participated in Icon Medialab's internal review of
all SRS documents.
As an aid to understand the textual flow of the specifications we introduced flowcharts into the documents. This later on became a part of the template for the rest of the SRS documents in this project.
This was my first project ever where I never wrote a single line of code.
|Acme (Geek Meet -99)
This is the result of Icon Medialab's first
"Geek Meet", a 24-hour
programming competition. The assignment where to build an online
shopping solution, including a shopping basket, around an existing
product database. One of the twists, beside the
24 hour limit, was that
none of the groups where allowed to choose platform. In my case it
turned out to be a Linux machine running PHP3 and
MySQL (which I had installed the evening
We chose a project manager within our team and then we individually started working on the parts that we thought we would contribute the most to. The areas that I focused on were the database and parts of the business logic.
We did not quite finish the assignment, although we won the competition.
|Marieberg Intranät
The Marieberg Intranät, built up around the Marieberg publishing
sphere, is a combination between an intranet and an extranet.
My part in this project has been very limited and initially it was only going to involve a minor bug fix. The problem turned out to be the SQL server that needed to be reinstalled. This was easier said the done. Different stored procedures disappeared in different transfers and a lot of it had to be manipulated manually. Two days of trial and error, which also included rewriting parts of the code dealing with a component that mysteriously stopped working and a few additional bug fixes.
Despite all the problems it left me with a lot of experience in the Microsoft SQL server.
|Compaq [punkt] Se - Extranet
An extranet for Compaq's retailers and large customers with a slightly
new approach to what a site actually is. This site includes four levels
of access, the ability to create a new "instances" of the extranet for
new companies without any programming or general
NT administrative skills.
I have been unofficially responsible over the technical part of this project, including everything from the database design to the actual programming itself. The pages and functionality (written in VB Script) in the project, including all the images, ended up at the size of less then 500,000 bytes. You could fit everything except the components on a floppy disc - twice!
|Compaq [punkt] Se
Sweden's Compaq site containing a lot of information, services and
products concerning this computer brand.
This project has among other things been to make updates of existing functionalities, been involved in writing new services such as mail-list functions, news functions and registration pages with the additional admin interfaces.
During this project the role has started to change from being mainly a programmer to also involve more administrative functions concerning the technical part of the project. This includes choosing software and solution for a mail-list currently processing more then 8,000 users. I've been doing a lot of database design on this site and also written the search functionality (combining the Microsoft Index server with plain database searches).
The site is based on Visual Basic and runs on a clustered environment.
|Svenska Industritjänstemannaförbundet (SIF)
SIF needed to be able to generate the individual passwords for their
website as a batch job. The first batch was set up by me and
concerned some 200,000 users.
This is my first real application with a proper user interface including progression bars, browser windows, a Set-up Wizard and everything else that makes a simple applications look advanced.
Written in Visual Basic, and delivered on two floppy disks.
|Diners Club
A multilingual site giving the information in Swedish, Norwegian,
Danish and Finnish. Something I notice working with this site is that it
is really hard to fill in missing text in Finnish, but that it is actually
possible if you know the right people.
On this site I mainly fixed minor changes and created a few campaigns using Perl and Livewire for ordering information, membership request and for reserving musical tickets. Also in charge of shutting down the service smoothly when the Diners Club site moved from the Icon Medialab premises to a regular web hotel.
|True Casino
An Internet Casino with awesome graphics that unfortunately never
hit the market. My role in this was to develop the central casino
server, which was done in Visual Basic.
However this project also made me a part of the design of the protocol being used and functions in a new XML component. Furthermore I developed the game logic for a slot machine with progressive jackpot, dealt with the certificates from VeriSign and made research regarding on-line banking.
Icon Medialab AB (IML), together with
Cambridge Technology Partners (CTP),
made a prestudy for Postbanken which where supposed to be the
initiation of their online bank. The idea was to reuse most of
the existing technology from Nordbanken, which run on the same
backend system, and more or less only redo the graphical design.
IML's role was to contribute with the experience of building websites while CTP are (or at least was) mainly focused on processes and backend systems. My role, together with two of CTP's consultants, where to understand the technical aspect of the process, including risk factors, and get it down on paper. The backend system runs on UNIX.
|Posten [punkt] Se
Another Swedish top 50 site! I was enlisted into this project when a
redesign of the site took place to make sure that the new design and
structure was inserted into the old functionality, and for recompiling
all the Livewire applications.
For this site I've also been creating a few banner functions. Such as automatically changing images counting down to the last day for sending Christmas cards, a Java applet for rotating information about services on the site and various Perl scripts for campaigns (such as an interface for sending email to Santa Claus).
I also wrote a NSAPI in C for handling both valid tags and expressions correctly from an administration interface and a pre-processor for restructuring a database dump coving all the Swedish zip codes.
Finally I've handled the technical support for a few weeks and written documentation for handing the project over to PSAB (The Swedish Post computer department).
|Svensk Filmindustri
This site has managed to hit top 50 websites
of Sweden two years in a row without any really renewing itself.
My work on this site concerns mostly the backend functions. This includes various scripts building up an automatic services for retrieving and brief pre-processing of the upcoming movies and I wrote a function in C for buying tickets with personal messages on-line where you can see how the result will turn out like before actually ordering the tickets. Also I've been adding some JavaScript features and been working as a sort of informal support service for SF.
|Erik Penser Fondkommission
This is as far as I know the first site being built in the history of
Icon Medialab AB. Some basic design was laid
out when I joined, though there was a lot of confusion on what would be
possible to do as far as web technique goes. The site turned out extremely
high tech for -96 standards with complete
remote administration. Unfortunately due to
non-technical problem it wasn't launched until
late -97. Quite naturally a target for
The whole site is relaying on some 150 CGI's written in C. This together with the original HTML files also written by me probably makes this my largest project ever.

Few dental graduates are choosing to practice in rural areas, thereby aggravating the shortage of dentists in rural communities. The aim of this study was to identify factors that may motivate dental and dental therapy students to commit to rural practice. This qualitative study used a triangulation of data sources: students' reflection papers on their rural community experience, transcripts of focus groups with students, and personal statements submitted by three cohorts of student participants in a rural dentistry program in a U.S. dental school in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Common themes emerged in each data source, and a congruence of themes from the three data sources was identified: corrected misconceptions of rural dental practice, the gravity of lack of access to care, quality of relationships between practitioners and patients and within the dental team, and the role of dentists in alleviating health disparities. Students cited the critical role dentists play in stimulating interest to consider dentistry as a career and in inspiring rural practice after graduation. Immersion in a rural community under the mentorship of a rural dentist may correct misconceptions and attract students to rural practice. This study's results suggest that dental schools need to provide students with more opportunities to witness the practice of rural dentists and experience rural living in order to draw them towards rural practice after graduation.

Opportunity Details
Age Minimum (with Adult): 18+, Minimum Age:18+
Flint Hill Farm Educational Center dates to about 1850. The original source of water on the farm was through gathering water in the farm's three cisterns. One is near the barn, the other two are near the farm house. One of the cisterns is accessible through a well pump. The second was at the corner of the sun porch. During renovation, the access to that cistern was covered up. It is the desire of the Educational Center to resurrect that cistern and reconnect the drain pipes from the roof to it. The third cistern is supposedly under a wooden floor in what is now the tack room near the barn. Reclaiming these cisterns for their original purpose would be an excellent educational opportunity for students or a group in the community. The Educational Center, as a model of a sustainable farm to our local schools, would greatly benefit from having these again in working order. Individual or group would need to have knowledge of construction, use of tools, mason skills, and a willingness to be creative.

The reasons could not be more different and complex, but who wants to live his submissive fantasies and fetishes as a slave, needs a mistress or lady. Whether you prefer to be trained as a slave in real life or online. What advantages offers online enslavement for the slave and the mistress? What should you watch out for if you want to be enslaved online?
Basic Rules for Online Slaves h2>
No matter whether you are enslaved online or real, some basic rules must always be observed by the slave:
- Punctuality at agreed appointments
- Respect of the mistress
- Each session is started and ended by the mistress
- Patience when the mistress does not have time
- The slave pays tributes for the work of the mistress
- The slave has to thank the mistress for each session
- Of course, I will also set up more own and individual rules for each salve. There are also punishments for misbehavior. The slave needs to proof the execution of tasks, self-punishment and punishments for example by taking pictures.
Some advantages of online enslavement are:
- Anonymity, if wished for
- Security against abuse
- No or only minor obligations
- Locally independent and temporally highly flexible
- First contact with the BDSM fetish
Enslavement online or real? h2>
Whether a slave wants to deliver himself online or in the real life to his mistress is first and foremost a question of personal possibilities and how the slave has behaved so far towards his mistress. I offer both types of play and start the enslavement with online domination, and then later go to real domination and real sessions. For a complete and absolute enslavement, it is not necessary to have real contact for. Anyone who is as good as me and can engage individually with the slave knows which buttons must be pressed to make the experience very intense. The advantage of online domination is that the distance between mistress and slave does not matter, because the domination is online via chat by messenger, cam or mobile phone.
Exciting Sex Play with Online Domination h2>
Not every submissive man dares to go to a real dominatrix.
Online slavery is an alternative!
Online slavery can be very exciting for the slave and the mistress. Men in relationships like to be enslaved online if their partner does not fulfill the wishes that they have. Also, found in online slavery are men who are very dominant in life.
The reasons for submitting to a mistress are not always sexual. Some slaves want to solve some personal problems or compensate private stress.
Motivations of the Mistress h2>
Also, a mistress has different reasons why she offers online domination. I have my own fetish, my own pleasure in the first place. I really enjoy having the power and control over other people and I can live them excessively. Of course, the financial aspect is not completely irrelevant, because an excellent service needs to be paid. All in all, I would describe my own feelings like this: I find it sexually, mentally and emotionally attractive to gain control over people like slaves and devotees.
Processes and Specials in Online Domination h2>
- Physical punishments by me are possible in online domination but must be performed by the slave to himself and be documented or proven via webcam or pictures. That means, the slave must punish himself (e.g. with hot wax, clothespins, and many other possibilities.
- Regularly, the slave must do tasks for me and document them with photos, SMS, WhatsApp messages or via webcam.
- As the mistress, I can impose certain bondage tasks for the slave, which he must wear and endure for a certain time. The slave must also show this self-bondage in order to prove the correct execution.
- I do also love verbally punishments and humiliation. This does not necessarily imply a wrongdoing.
Especially in the online domination, it is important that desires, goals and taboos with the slave are discussed regularly (maybe even after each session), so that both sides know what is going on. Not like in real slavery, communication is very important here, as I usually do not see the slave and cannot respond to the signs he gives like in a real session.
Money Slave - The special Form h2>
The money slave is satisfied by providing his money this happens without any type of reward.
Within online education, the money slave, also known as Pay Pig or ATM, plays a special role. There is basically no reward for that. Of course, a good money slave gets more attention than one who only talks about it without giving. But this slavery cannot be seen as a rip off of the slaves, because they get satisfied from the paying. I also offer financial plans for slaves to control their expenses. Full bank account control is also possible. So, there are countless possibilities even in money slavery. Starting with an "occasional giving" into the complete self-abandonment and complete loss of control over their own finances anything is possible.
There are endless kinds of Money Slavery h2>
- Simple money slave: monthly payments to me
- Loan payers or promissory slaves - the slave takes real some debts and larger payments (rather unusual, because it makes the impression mistress needed the money). Mostly promissory notes are real debts for fictitious payments, which have not taken place, but the slave repays a monthly debt.
- Blackmail slave - the slave is z. B. with private data or compromising photos blackmail, he has previously made available to me in a blackmail contract. He is thus exposed to the arbitrary demands for money and tasks by me.
- Property - I receive the authority over all bank accounts of the slave and manage his expenses. The most extreme form of this is that his income goes directly to my bank account of me and I pay the slave a small pocket money
But it must be said that money slaves are only a small amount of slaves.
What do I look for in a slave? h2>
New slaves should convince me with their first message. A "hi, how are you?" is just inappropriate. The slave should be respectful and always polite. That's the only way for him to have a chance. Also, mass messages, in which only the name of the mistress is changed are inappropriate, because I usually recognize this immediately. If the slave does not show his commitment to introduce himself, he probably will not show any commitment in the further slavery.
What should a slave pay attention to when choosing his mistress? h2>
I e.g. have my website where everything takes place. Webcam-chat, messages, fetish videos and pictures and everything else needed for the slavery. The design of my website is very personal and with a high degree of professionality to offer a great experience.
The fact that I have hundreds of videos on my site and that you can see me live on the webcam should be proof enough that I am not fake.
No matter what **** of slavery you choose, it is important to tell your desires, fetishes and taboos in order to get a long, trusty relationship with me. It is much more interesting and exciting to have a relationship with me than to have many sessions with different mistresses. Because trust is the most important thing in every relationship, even in fetish. The Slavery is a process that can only be reached and built up over a long time, with tasks, punishments, and sacrifices.

It is much better to use g (the capital G is not the correct unit) as a unit for centrifugation steps, which refers to the acceleration applied to your samples (so 10,000 g means 10,000 times Earth's gravitational force). Also, 'g' is the symbol written for 'RCF' values.
RPM (revolutions per minute) is not as useful a unit, because the force varies with the radius of your machine (the bigger the radius, the more acceleration is applied to your samples for the same RPM).
Using g, you can easily replicate experiments.
The formula about these two variables is as below:

Papers > Letter to the editor
Voiume 1, Number 2, 1995
Mary Ann Leibert, Inc.
David Eisenberg of Harvard Medical School and others have put
forth a functional definition of alternative medicine:
"The term 'alternative medicine' refers to those
practices explicitly used for the purpose of medical intervention,
health promotion or disease prevention which are not routinely
taught at U.S. medical schools nor routinely underwritten by third-party
payers within the existing United States health care system."
a physician who has given a great deal of thought to the issues
surrounding alternative medicine for several decades, I would
like to offer the following observations:
within the above definition, of course, is the notion that medicine
is a living, evolving science/art where proven safe, effective,
and cost-effective interventions move from the alternative category
to the mainstream. Alternatively, as outcomes research gains increasing
significance, I foresee several current interventions moving out
of the so-called mainstream category, especially because of their
failure to meet even rudimentary standards of cost-effectiveness.
Let me offer the following additional thoughts on the growth of
alterative medicine. In my opinion, two major trends are particularly
first is the growth and pre-eminence of neuroscience and its corollary,
the acceptance of mind-body medicine. This reflects a fundamental
paradigm shift which has potential for profound consequences —
far greater consequences, in my opinion, than those produced by
the billion dollar human genome project which has been projected
and promoted "to revolutionize medicine." The brain
is now defined as an active bioelectric endocrine organ which
has profound influence on every organ system. Once that fundamental
fact is simply accepted, we then are required to recognize that
the entire universe and everything in it, including one's
perception of it, can and does (through the brain) affect human
physiology and medical outcomes ranging from disease and accidents
to peak performance. As Michael Murphy cofounder of Esalen Institute,
has stated in his book The Future of the Body, "Today we
have strong evidence that any aspect of bodily functioning, once
brought to awareness, can be deliberately altered to some extent
for healing or the development of new abilities." Also,
acceptance of mind-body medicine profoundly shifts the relationship
between patient and physician to one of physician as teacher and
away from the model of the physician as the paternalistic "MDiety"
whose technologies and pronouncements are viewed as omnipotent
by a dependent, fearing patient.
second major trend, which I believe is particularly noteworthy,
is the increasing recognition and acceptance of the health-giving
properties of pleasure. Modern western medicine, coming from puritanical
roots, has not adequately studied the fundamental phenomenon of
pleasure and, hence, has denied the, American medical consumer
the value of touch, massage, job satisfaction, laughter, the arts,
and responsible sexuality. For example, human beings are the only
species on this planet who, at a very early age after birth, engage
in weeping and laughing behavior, and yet little or no funding
has been targeted to the study of these phenomena. I believe we
have paid a very severe price in health for this omission.
important, in my opinion, in alternative medicine, would be the
study of herbalism which is simply substituting one pharmacopia
for another ("my drugs are better than yours"). While
there may be value in studying these compounds, this does not
fall into the category of a paradigm shift in the manner in which
it is currently being pursued by many of those involved.
"energy medicine" (is there a better term?), one does
not have to look only to Asian cultures to study this. Two prominent
American psychiatrists, Wilhelm Reich and his disciple Alexander
Lowen, I believe, have made brilliant contributions to the study
of human energy systems and their work should be revisited in
the context of alternative medicine. I have lectured on this topic
as it relates to my personal interest in stress releasing phenomena
in the context of the release of energy in stress management.
is imperative, however, that we study other cultures' medical
philosophies and practices for the global village is rapidly becoming
reality and, frankly, we all have much to learn from each other.
trust that I have contributed to the important dialogue on the
definition of alternative medicine and priority setting. The journey
before us is a remarkable one—the best is yet to come.

Children learn with their senses. Through the perception of the natural environment around them we want to open their senses to the beauty, variety and meaningfulness of the world, to the rhythm of the day and the order of the year. With their senses, they perceive relationships and learn to understand them. Coupled with their joy of discovery, they gradually learn elementary laws of nature.The Krumbecker Hof with its wide fields, the adjacent groves, the animals and people who live and work there offers many possibilities to address the senses of the children. During the year we can see the growth of the plants up to theHarvest, the births and the growing up of the animals until later meat consumption and follow the quiet, contemplative autumn and winter months.
In our natural kindergarten we spend the whole time outdoors. The breakfast and lunch, but also the changing activities we design outside, unless extreme weather conditions prevent this. Through the movement outside and playing with the many simple suggestions of nature we want to awaken the imagination of the children. Our work with animals (Feeding,Watching), romping and reading stories in the hay, walks over the fields, working in our garden, the construction of caves in the woods, the campfire and ultimately the farm with its recurring daily and annual routine.
In addition to the guided walks and discovery tours of the farm and in the forest and the special season-related actions, we want to provide the children as much space for the free play available. With free play, the child learns to know himself, to understand the world and to build his relationship with other people. He delves into his playing and repeats it until he has grasped it with all his senses. In nature, the child has enough space to unfold, alone or with other children. For this we offer a natural outdoor area with different elements. These include e.g. Tree trunks for climbing, tree caves, bushes and tall grass for hiding, a sand surface for digging and building or a willow labyrinth.We see ourselves as a role model and companion of the children in the first formative years of life. We listen to them and at the same time want to stimulate their ideas and fantasy world. The movement and the perception in nature promote the learning and release the head at the same time. The children are thus compensated and can be released from aggression, pressure and fears. With our work on the farm, we want to awaken the senses and joie de vivre of the children, so that they learn to handle mindful, reliable and responsible with nature, the animals and all living things.

A critically acclaimed dark comedy named Norman came out in theaters last year, and my sister and I went to see it. Richard Gere, the formerly drop-dead-gorgeous hunk of An Officer and A Gentleman plays Norman Oppenheimer, a white-haired, wrinkle-browed, New York City conman in a tan overcoat and brown tweed cap who is kind of an upscale version of Peter Falk's Columbo.
Promoting himself as a "consultant," Norman chases the rich and powerful people in Manhattan promising to connect them with his even richer and more powerful friends. Ok, no similarities with me yet. But I realized recently that Norman and I do have a few things in common. This character spent 85 percent of his on-screen time pulling business cards out of his pocket, signing them, "Many thanks! Norman" and pushing them into people's hands as they tried to avoid him.
Somewhere along the line, marketing my book, All in My Head: How a Hypochondriac Beat Brain Cancer, has made me a royal pain in the ass. I had a business card designed, which bears an image of my book cover, along with my website and contact info. And since the first order from the printing company "Moo" arrived at my house, I have become completely obsessed with handing out these cards. I keep them in the front and back of my purse, my glove compartment, on my desk, and in the pockets of every item of clothing that I own, except my pajamas.
I hand my card to everyone—people at the beach just trying to soak up the sun, the Dunkin Donuts worker who passes me my coffee, the librarian who checks out my books, the pharmacists who fill my prescriptions, my priest, my dry cleaner, book store owners, and total strangers. It's become a way of life.
But on a recent Saturday morning, I realized I had become 50 shades seedier than Norman Oppenheimer when I handed one of my cards to our red-haired, freckle-faced paperboy, who looked at me and said, "No thanks, that's okay," and gave it back to me.
But the fact is that distributing my business cards does get results. Some of the throngs of people I accost on the streets actually do buy my book. I'm pretty sure the poor woman who took a card from me last night while she was trying to load groceries into her Ford Escape (she didn't escape fast enough) must have bought a book. When I checked sales on line this morning, there was one more. I felt elated, but also a little guilty as I thought of her canned peas falling out of the ripped bottom of her white plastic bag while she reached for my outstretched hand.
So, I want to apologize in advance to all the unfortunate souls who happen to cross my path and are subjected to my sales pitch and my ever-present business cards. Please know that my motives are not the same as Norman Oppenheimer's. I don't desire fame or fortune (although I'm not technically opposed to either), but I do want to get the word out that my book is available for the people who need it— people who are feeling as shell-shocked and hopeless by a cancer diagnosis as I was in October of 2008. All in My Head will help them, and I really want them to know it's there.
Writing my book was the easiest part of the journey, but marketing it is much more daunting. Soliciting newspaper stories, radio spots, book signings and author speeches is a never-ending effort. It requires passion, persistence, and the willingness to annoy the hell out of people and accept rejection.
I'm not thrilled with the rejection part (that freckle-faced paperboy can go pound sand for next week's tip), but, to be honest, the in-your-face annoying part hasn't been too much of a stretch for me. It almost feels like I've been doing it for years.
Many thanks!

The World's Best-Kept Secret FATEHPAL SINGH TARNEY
Part II
- Janam Da Firangee,
Sikhi Mai Mangee
I very much appreciate the encouraging words I received regarding my last column. I am pleased that there are others who agree that laughter and humor have their place in the Diwan Hall, albeit they must be employed judiciously.
hasandhiaa(n) khaelandhiaa(n) painandhiaa(n) khaavandhiaa(n) vichae hovai mukt(i)
Laughing, playing, adorning, eating, therein is liberation to be found. [Guru Arjan, GGS:522.10]
Mark Twain tells us in a similar vein: "The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter."
It continues to sadden me when I see people doing langar seva, for example, with frowns on their faces. If seva is seen as a chore rather than a privilege, it should be left for others who do it with joy.
What continues to concern me are what I call the gurdwara watchdogs – those who do not come to diwans to do simran, or do kirtan or ardaas, but are on constant lookout for real and imagined infractions of gurdwara protocol.
I repeat an experience I had when I sustained a severe leg injury and was in great discomfort and hence using a cane. There was no more room on the bench in the diwan hall. A sevadar brought me a folding chair and placed it adjacent to the bench – it was very unobtrusive. Someone promptly complained quite loudly and then lodged a complaint later with our gurdwara committee.
When it comes to complaints and concerns, I confess to having one of my own based on an observation at one gurdwara this summer. I saw a person in the diwan hall with a topi – a baseball cap on. In my view, this is a violation of our Rehat Maryada, which specifies a head covering in the form of a scarf or bandana, if not in a turban.
This is the same gurdwara where I was chastised me for including some humor in my talk there. I do not want to be too judgmental here in that I would rather have this fellow come to the gurdwara than not come at all.
September 7, 2017
Conversation about this article
1: G J Singh (Delhi. India), September 10, 2017, 4:21 AM.
Let's stay away from becoming an organized religion, something that Sikhi inherently is not, so that it can flourish in the way it was meant to be. It's a personal code of conduct -- more importantly, of belief -- as long as that belief is not intrusive on others. Let's keep in mind, the Rehat Maryada as we follow it today was formulated by mere mortals who wanted to eradicate the corrosive Hindu (and Muslim) influence and its rituals and superstitions on Sikhi.
2: Ajit Singh Batra (Pennsville, New Jersey, USA), September 17, 2017, 2:48 PM.
The beauty of Sikhi lies in its universality. It does not brook sectarianism or narrow loyalties in any shape or form. It is the religion of mankind and not of any particular group. Guru Nanak traveled all over the world, meeting people of different creeds showering love and service for the regeneration of all mankind on earth.

I am who I am who I am who am I?
I am thirty-something.
I am married to my amazing wife K with two lovely daughters, A and B.
I live in a college town in the South and am employed by a major state university. (No, it's not Athens, but good guess.)
I have a law degree and a law license, but I no longer practice law. (It seemed like a good idea at the time and I had a scholarship.) So yes, IAAL.
The study and practice of law, is above all, the study of people. You learn a lot about people by practicing law.
I like to read about the world. I enjoy reading about psychology and economics. How people relate to other people. Why we act the way we do. I love science. I study life. And then I blog about it.
But you can't understand this world without understanding what is beyond this world. I am Catholic. I've come and gone over the years, but I've come to the realization that I can't really be anything else. The kind of Catholic who goes to mass every Sunday, but often arrives late. The kind of Catholic who good Catholics think is a bad Catholic and everyone else thinks is annoyingly devout.
I'm strangely comfortable with this, except that I'm pretty sure that being comfortable with this is a sin. Aaah, Catholic guilt.
K is not Catholic. She thinks I need therapy, and I probably do.
So that's my story. What's yours?

Stop the presses. Hold the first edition. Swap in that new headline.
Look at the poll. Look at 39%. Fewer than four in ten Calgarians approve of Nenshi. Probably the worst showing for a sitting mayor in 40 years.
Then there's 32%. Fewer than one in three Calgarians approve of city council.
A recent nosecount from the well-respected ThinkHQ number crunchers is today's definition of ugly and what a fall for the purple prince who was once put on a pedestal by so many Calgarians. So many laughed when his jokes fell flat and thought him inspiring when he spouted sweet nothings.
You got played and now, if ThinkHQ is in the ballpark of right-on, you realize it.
But full credit to him. Nenshi rode his high horse for years. He came in to change city hall and made it worse. He came in to be a fiscal conservative and he led a city council who never saw a dollar they didn't want to spend.
He stood for open government and city hall is closed tighter than the Royal Canadian Mint.
So charming, so smart, so witty, so wise. That was the sales pitch.
The smartest man in any room, recognized around the world, the greatest possible symbol for a new, hip, diverse city of bike lanes and food trucks, a Calgary almost as good as Toronto.
As one wise thinker once said: It was the Politics of Nothing.
Now, almost nine years later, after nine long years with truth staring the citizens of this city in the face, Calgarians seem to get it.
With tough times, a failed Olympic bid, a small-business tax revolt, the Green Line LRT plans all over the map, a council unwilling to live within its means and rudderless, most Calgarians have finally figured it out.
Nenshi was often called a rock star.
But, as with many a faded rock star, Calgarians now ask themselves how they ever liked the guy in the same questioning tone they ask themselves how they could ever have enjoyed dancing Gangnam Style.
What is left is ugly arithmetic.
Nenshi's approval is at 39%. Among men, it's even lower at 34%. Only 14% strongly approve of the mayor and I bet most of them eat Sunday brunch at hipster diners.
Only one in four seniors support him. His ray of sunshine comes from the under-35s. With them, he sits at 51%.
This time last year Nenshi was at 61% and that was low for him. In one year he's gone down an off-the-cliff 22 percentage points.
Dear readers, I know you're a curious lot so I'll put a little more meat in the sandwich.
Let's look at the different parts of the city.
Nenshi's approval rating is 40% in the northwest, 37% in the southwest, 34% in the southeast and 47% in the northeast.
Even in the northeast he is more unpopular than popular.
In the new suburbs, his approval is 34%. In established neighbourhoods it's 37%. The inner city is Nenshi's silver lining at 55%. Likely the same individuals who voted for the Notley NDP.
Then there's city council.
Council's approval is at 32%, down 16 points since this time last year.
Nowhere does council reach a 50% thumbs-up. Nowhere. No quadrant of the city, not in the inner city or the suburbs, not young or old, not male or female.
Just three in 100 Calgarians strongly approve of city council. I didn't realize council members had such large families.
I have been trying to tell council most Calgarians think they and their antics suck but they believe it's just me and my delusions. They have numbers telling them we're happier than if we were living in Margaritaville.
Jeromy Farkas is the councillor often in council's penalty box for not playing along with the other city politicos.
"I want to see this as a warning bell," says Farkas of the numbers.
"But there's such a feeling of invincibility at city council. City hall operates in a completely different world on a completely different wavelength. I don't think this council can learn. Council will have to be made to realize how many Calgarians they have hurt."
Get it. Vote them out.
As for Nenshi's dismal showing?
"I'm not going to pick on him in his moment of weakness. It's self-evident. The people have had it with him. I don't need to throw dirt on the grave."

It is so sad to know that someone you know and who is used to be close to you died.
Tatay Benhur. I can always remember him as a fun-loving, naughty, and a good friend. He is one of a kind, I can say. A faithful husband and a loving father to his two cute boys. He loves his family to death. We know that coz he talks about them a lot. Hardworking. He is such as good man. Everyone can say that.
No, he is not as old as what you think he is coz I call him Tatay. He is in his mid-forties. I only call him Tatay coz he is the oldest in our group. But he looks young despite of his age coz he loves to smile. He seldom talks about his problem so you'd almost think that he doesn't have one.
"Tatay, though you left the immortal world, but your memories remains with us, always will, especially those happy times that you share with us all. Your unique way of making us laugh in our stomach would never be forgotten. We love you Tatay. So long ..."

The Boston Arts Academy Foundation
The Boston Arts Academy Foundation is a non-profit organization that was established in 1999 to raise essential funds for the school. Each year, the BAA Foundation raises between 35% and 40% of the school's budget from private sources. The BAA Foundation helps bridge the gap between the school's allocation from the Boston Public Schools, and the true cost of a high-quality education that is both arts-intensive and college preparatory. Support from foundations, corporations, and individual donors is critical to the school's ability to offer a comprehensive arts and academic education. Without such support, our city's young people, living in one of the cultural capitals of the world, would not be able to attend a public arts high school.
The Boston Arts Academy Foundation is an independent, registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. Our Tax ID is 04-3454898.
During construction of Boston Arts Academy's new facilities, the Boston Arts Academy Foundation is temporarily located at 45 Temple Place, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02111. We can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

La Llotja Theatre and Conference Centre officially opened in 2010, adding a new venue for the arts in the region. After six years, Mecanoo went back to see the project. We wanted to see how the building is facing the test of time and how successful the public space has been now that the building is well in use. This is Mecanoo's attitude – a project doesn't simply finish when completed. For us the project begins when it is delivered to the client, when end users flow through and enliven the public spaces. La Llotja was designed as a monolithic volume that emerges from the Spanish earth. By elevating the first floor and deeply recessing the ground floor facade, this creates a 16-metre-wide cantilever that protects visitors against the sun and rain. The public square begins underneath the cantilever with the stairs of the neighbouring building serving as a spectator tribune during events. The solid facade of natural stone is interrupted at the entrance where a sea of light penetrates the massive block, inviting visitors up to the first floor where the multifunctional hall is located. A ramp continues to the foyer on the second level with a panoramic window viewing across the old city and the river. The entrances to the theatre, which also doubles as a large conference hall, meeting rooms and the 400-seat conference room are located in the foyer. Read enough? Press play and enjoy!

Forte da Barra de AveiroPlace of Interest Check location
This fort is situated in Ílhavo, in Aveiro. A lighthouse and a small surrounding fort were built near the river Vouga in the 16th century, in order to facilitate the navigation in that area.
In the 20th century it became the property of the Administração do Porto de Aveiro, since its defence functions were no longer necessary. However it continues to function as a flag in internal navigation. Since 1974 it is classified as Property of Public Interest.
