The Future Of Fonts
I am currently reading a number of books on design, but the one with which I am having the hardest time is a book on type. I can barely describe the arrogance that seeps from every line. Most artists think that they are more important than they actually are. But I cannot think of an endeavor that is less important than type.
Communication, now that's an important endeavor. The type is simply a mechanism to do so, and any type will get the job done. There were no typeface experts before computers. Font foundries literally were foundries, molding metal type sets. And most of the early typefaces were created by printers, who undoubtedly saw the important part of their business as, I dunno', the actual printing.
A side-effect of this perspective, which I see as closely related to the movie and music industries reticence to recognize that the world has changed in the past thirty years, is the belief that typefaces are worth money. Some of the particulars of the modern technology world have allowed this strange idea to quasi-persist. One of the issues it that typefaces are of sufficiently little value, and the majority of people use them so sparingly, that the movement away from the legacy paradigm has been slow.
It has been happening, just not with any centralization. There has been no Napster for fonts. Finally, we have something that could be considered the first step toward this, and it's being spearheaded by Google.
Google Fonts is an online collection of generally-well-made fonts that are all free and open-source. This is a great thing since fonts have been free since the dawn of the internet, and many of them are very well-made, but digging through all of the garbage that inundates the free font services can sometimes be an insurmountable chore.
Frabjous day! Google Fonts is a tool specifically intended to allow easy navigation of a curated font collection, free of the junk. Moreover, the visibility of GFonts, which I'm sure they will rename it soon, means that you can be assured that the fonts are, indeed, open source. I've never been caught by this, but fonts that are listed on "open" font websites are sometimes not, in fact, open. If you are working on a truly large-scale operation, the designer of this font way notice, and based on my totally scientific analysis of font designers being the most hilariously self-important human beings this side of Fox News anchors, you will be sued with a hilariously self-important law suit.
A few things that I guess I should specify: first, typefaces are indeed important. The design can communicate certain things: modernity, classicism, culture, etc. This is especially important when a designer has limited creative space, such as a logo. The design also heavily affects legibility, and if no one can read what you've written... well, that kinda' negates everything you just did. But to make the jump from that to believing that font creation is deserving of hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars from everyone who want to use your letters is like leaping the Grand Canyon.
The other thing is that there are, indeed, good and bad typefaces. This is the excuse the type-apologists will trot out when justifying a font foundry that charges thousands of dollars for the rights to a typeface. What about the kerning! they yell. What about the hinting! they holler.
Bullshit, I say. Artists have this strange affliction that few other professions have: that once they create something, they deserve to earn money from that work forever. And furthermore, as an artist, typeface design is one of the easiest arts there is. Yes, it can take many hundreds of hours to get a typeface just right. You know what else takes hundreds of hours? A web design. You know how often I get paid for a web design? Once.
It must be said that they do have a legal argument. They have a legal argument just as Hollywood, the music industry, and the book industry have an argument. But the law does not define reality, and reality is changing. Back in the day, when you purchased a typeface, you were purchasing something of great value; you were purchasing finely crafted lettering. But with the emergence of the Internet and computers, that paradigm completely changed. The finite, physical thing underlying the typeface was eliminated and replaced with a zero cost reproduction.
And I know that I reiterate this like a broken record, but it's basic economics that many industries seem to not understand — the cost of a good will fall over time to the marginal cost of reproducing it. If the marginal cost of reproduction is zero, as it now is with data and thus typefaces, then the cost of a good will fall to zero. This is not an exotic concept. This is something you will literally learn within the first hundred pages of an Econ-101 book. Google Fonts is the future because the economic dynamics underlying it are the future.
I do not claim that data wants to be free. Many advocates of free use that line, and most of them are Internet utopianists. They believe that data coursing through the Internet unabated by anything is somehow the natural order of things. That's of course nonsense. All the Internet has done is increase the speed and bandwidth of human communication and human communication is bound by tons of things that I won't go into right now (language, interest, intelligence, etc.).
The Internet is a mere extension of human behavior. Economics, it is sometimes argued, is actually just the study of human behavior. There are no laws underlying everything. There is no natural order to things. It's just people being people in all their varied and complex ways. If people act a particular way in real life, they will act that way online. As such, typefaces are worthless.
The problem we have right now is that the Internet's effects on society are still very, very new. A significant percentage of America, much less the world, still has no regular access to the Internet. This is a new thing. That means that the old ways of doing things, and the old people and systems who benefit from these ways, are going to fight progress. And just as with Hollywood and the music industry, the power that they have will be sufficient to muck things up for a very long time.
It's been thirteen years since the music industry sued Napster. Thirteen years!... good Christ I'm getting old... And yet here we are, with the music industry fighting the same damned fight that they just keep losing. Then again, it took General Motors over two decades to collapse, even though people in the 1980's saw it coming.
Other industries also help to support the dying industry. For example, most major publications will still buy their typefaces. They still spend thousands every year licensing them. Why? Simple resistance to change has a part to play, I'm sure. But the other part is that much of the influence from the "old" industry comes in relation to the "new" industry, in the same way that old money is seen as somehow more respectable and legitimate than new money.
I will only ever use open fonts. Frequently, I will just design a custom font for a job. But unless a client absolutely demands that I use a specific, closed font, I will always use Google Fonts. If you are a designer, I recommend that you do the same. If you design a full typeface, upload it to Google fonts. Make sure your name is attached to it, certainly, but upload it nonetheless.
I encourage you to do this because the more we embrace Google Fonts, the faster that the old font foundries will die off. The faster that one legacy industry dies, the faster that others can follow suit.
And remember, if you are a designer, especially someone who wants to specialize in type: it still has value. It just only has value vis-a-vis its creation. Once created, it is worthless. This is important to remember because when something drops to zero value, it reaches a maximum level of propagation. If a typeface costs $0, everyone who wants that typeface will use it. It will be in all of the places it ever could be. Even at more than $0, typefaces can become damn-near omnipresent. Helvetica and Gotham are so common that they make me physically ill when I see them.
But you know what that does? It increases the value of typeface creation because it is a truth universally acknowledged that a project in possession of a fortune must be in want of a good typeface. When everyone is using Gotham, having a custom font is necessary. That means that you are necessary.
Don't fight it. Embrace it. After all, it's the future.

A Series Of Online Casino Renders
This was a series of renders created in Adobe Fireworks and Blender 3D using LuxRender and Cycles. They appear in an interface for a tournament system. Most of my CGI work is confidential, so this is among the little that I can post publicly. I didn't model the woman. I don't know where I got that model, actually. In retrospect, it's kinda' messed up. Regardless, 3D rendering is beyond fun. It's frustrating sometimes because you may not know if you like an image or not until you've done two hours of rendering, but it's still so much fun.
Remember, if you are interested in CGI work for your project, these are meant to be over the top. They're for a bloody online casino. Glitz and glam are the order of the day. For most other applications, you will want something far more muted than this.

Wildwind Brand Presentation
All good brand companies must make brand presentations. This is where the rationale behind your design choices is explained. Sometimes, this can become farcical, such as the infamous Pepsi Presentation. But most of the time, it's a dry, methodical affair that companies don't like to reveal since it shows the almost mechanical nature that undergirds the "life" and "energy" of their brands.
The image is bold and thus flexible, readying it for any print or display requirement.
|Relying on a font exclusively for identity is problematic. It does not retain identity when scaled very small. By introducing a container, we create two elements of identity: shape and content.
|The rectangle is a poor identifier. It is everywhere. It is boring. We must bring life to our creation.
A parallelogram is alive. It implies motion and drive. It is going, while a square merely sits.
|There is one last step: aligning the word with the image; constructing a link. By italicizing the letters, they merge with the overall construct. The content and image become one; the logo and the name, inseparable.
|The text is moved up to make room for secondary branding, such as the company descriptor.
|The logo can be reduced in size and retain identifiability. On-screen legibility is retained down to eight pixels in height.
|The identity can be reduced to a single, tilted letter inside a rhombus.
This image can be used as a bold, identifiable favicon for the internet.
|The container shape can be stretched to fit applications while maintaining identity.
The image is bold and thus flexible, readying it for any print or display requirement.
|Subtle brand application builds identification with the symbol and client/company interactions.

Taste of India Logo Design
|This is my earliest prototype and my least favorite. It's very default in its overall design and looks kinda' like the text off a Yes album.
|This is a late idea and my second-least favorite. The multiple colors get the idea of flavor in there, which was important to me, and the stylized map of India is modern, but using an image of India at an Indian restaurant is just too bland.
|This is my second favorite logo. It's angles are hyper-modern and very bold. The problem was that it was too modern. I felt that customers would be expecting something more than simply a good Indian restaurant.

text: Where andragogy grew out of the term pedagogy, heutagogy was created as an offshoot of andragogy. We see that in Hase and Kenyon's 2000 article entitled, "From Andragogy to Heutagogy." Heutagogy maintains the andragogical learner-centered emphasis, but takes it a step further by also highlighting the importance of develop the skills necessary to learn on one's own. As such, heutagogy is often described as the study of self-determined or self-directed learning. It is not just about learning content, but also learning how to learn. It is an especially relevant approach in the digital age, given the vast amount of content and resources available to anyone with a device and Internet access.

SAYREVILLE, N.J. — Rock star Jon Bon Jovi came home Monday, with a $1 million check from his band and a promise to his former neighbors that they had not been forgotten.
"My being here is not political, it's emotional because I grew up here," Bon Jovi told the hundreds in a crowd that had gathered outside borough hall and included Gov. Chris Christie and first lady Mary Pat Christie. He recalled how when he toured Sayreville after superstorm Sandy hit and was wondering how he could help, a resident told him to 'use your voice. Let people know that we are suffering.'
"I know that this million dollars sounds like a lot, but it is really just a drop in the bucket and I know there are people still suffering. But what I like to call the power of we coming together — that means you, me, us — we are taking a step today to rebuild lives."
Bon Jovi's $1 million donation to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, chaired by Mary Pat Christie, raised the total donations to the fund to $38 million. Bon Jovi, along with fellow New Jerseyans Bruce Springsteen and TV personality Kelly Ripa, serve as honorary advisory board members to the charity. According to its website, the fund has donated $10.5 million as of April 30.
Bon Jovi's visit to Sayreville was a homecoming for the rocker, who grew up in the borough and — as he reminded the crowd — went to school and met his wife, Dorothea, here.
"It is pretty cool to stand in front of borough hall 51 years later," Bon Jovi told the few hundred residents who came to see him. "I have to tell you that returning here is humbling."
Bon Jovi has been known for his philanthropic work, which includes opening the JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, N.J., where customers can pay for meals either through work or through donations.
In the immediate aftermath of the superstorm, Bon Jovi returned to this flood-ravaged borough to see the damage firsthand and meet with residents. He toured the borough again Monday, along with the Christies.
Weber Avenue resident Fran O'Connor reminded the crowd what it was like after Sandy roared through: "Families swam out out of their collapsing houses onto the street with downed power lines, floating debris and raw sewage. An elderly couple stood on their bed clinging to each other as the raging river filled their home and residents hung by their fingertips to their window sills waiting to be saved."
And she said that Bon Jovi's visit after the storm helped give the community hope.
"That day as we stood on Weber Avenue covered in mud and muck his heartfelt kindness raised our spirits and fortified us during the bleakest of times," she said. "We will never forget his compassion, his empathy and the aid that he continues to give the flood-impacted residents of the state of New Jersey."
Christie thanked Bon Jovi for the donation, telling residents that "despite all the enormous success and fame that Jon and his family have earned over the course of his career, they have never forgotten where they come from."
The governor promised the crowd that if they wanted to rebuild, the state would be there to help them. But if they wanted to leave Sayreville — this was the third flood that residents had experienced in three years — the state would be there too, to offer buyouts so they could move on with their lives.
To date, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved the buyouts of 129 flood-damaged homes in Sayreville. Another nine homeowners applied Monday.
"You are among the toughest, grittiest people that this state has to offer," Christie said. "I love Sayreville."

I want to ask you a few questions. Have you ever thought of a company as a good investment prospect after seeing the awards it has received? Do you form a favorable opinion when a business leader receives an award for best CEO or Entrepreneur? What about when a company receives an award for corporate governance, innovation or great place to work? We assume the selection was unbiased and evaluation criteria were stringent. Hence, we form a positive image of the winner. Nothing succeeds like success.
Now what happens when we discover that the leaders whom we have put on a pulpit have feet of clay? Recently, a Miami businessman, Mr Claudio Osorio, former president of Inno Vida Holdings was arrested for a $40 million fraud. In 1997, Ernst & Young had awarded Mr Osorio "Entrepreneur of the Year" title for CHS Electronics, a company he owned. Amazingly, in 1999 CHS Electronics settled a class action lawsuit brought by its shareholders. The next year the company became bankrupt. Doesn't this raise questions on jury's decision and selection criteria for giving the award?
Closure home, the story is the same. Ramalinga Raju, previously the CEO of Satyam responsible for conducting the biggest corporate fraud in India, was awarded Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Services Award in 1999 & 2007 (which was withdrawn later). Other awards received by him were – Dataquest IT Man of the Year Award 2000, CNBC's Asian Business Leader – Corporate Citizen of the Year award in 2002 and Golden Peacock Award for Corporate Governance 2008 (withdrawn later).
According to my understanding, the Indian scene for corporate leadership awards is quite easy to understand. There is a group of 25 prominent business leaders from whom the 6-7 jury members are selected. During the year, in the 5-6 corporate award functions at least 2-3 jury members are common. The same group of 50 companies receive the awards year on year. Each function distributes 9-10 awards. Around 7-8 awards are given to this group and just a couple of new names are added. In the newspapers, a detailed write-up is given of the jury interactions for selecting the awardees.
One might say that these are the top performing companies and CEOs; hence, they deserve the awards. The other could be that these CEOs have excellent public relations teams working to get the business leaders and companies nominate. However, in my cynical view it appears as a game of corporate musical chairs where business leaders pat each other on the back and allow entry to a few in the exclusive club. I am not joking; a recent award function separated the members of the exclusive club from the non-exclusive business leaders by demarcating the area with a red rope.
Giving an award may not be big deal. However, it becomes serious when awards of corporate governance excellence or best entrepreneurs are given. People assume that after being evaluated by peers and benchmarked against best practices, these leaders and companies are best in the pack. A small individual investor relies on this information when making an investment decision. Can we count the number of investors who traded in Satyam shares believing it to be an excellent company? These investors lose money and sometimes their whole savings. Hence, the ethics and integrity of these awards must be maintained at all cost.
The corporate award functions should not become similar to the Bollywood award functions. The common perception of Bollywood awards is that whichever hero or heroine performs on the award function gets an award. Just a few awards are given on actual box office performance. I don't have any information of behind the scene activities of corporate award functions. However, investors will lose faith if the Bollywood method is followed.
Closing thoughts
In my view a government body, something like SEBI should evaluate the criteria of the bodies giving awards. It shouldn't become a brand building and sales exercise to get clients and investors. Hence, only a few select organizations should be allowed to distribute awards. Periodically, the government body should conduct a review. Moreover, the government body should evaluate the cases of awards given incorrectly and recommend legal action where required. What do you think?

'Ice Chimes' sculpture on loan to Dartmouth makes music out of snow
HANOVER, N.H. (AP) � The creators of a newly installed sculpture at Dartmouth College are hoping for a long, snowy winter.
That's because the 20-foot-tall sculpture called "Ice Chimes" creates music as it collects snow. Constructed of heavy timbers bolted together, the sculpture is topped by a perforated canopy that collects snow. Heating coils then melt the snow into water, which drips onto metal rods to form icicles. As the rods sway in the wind, they clink and chime until the icicles break off.
The sculpture was created by 1983 Dartmouth graduate Keith Moskow and Robert Linn of Boston's Moskow Linn Architects. It was designed for the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston, where it was installed last winter, and is on loan to Dartmouth for this winter.

I have an idea for those of you with numerous birds or sanctuaries. Do you remember or have the old wooden clothes airers that you used to dry clothes in front of the fire ?
I was just thinking they would make great parrot gyms with toys etc hanging from them. Unfortunately I don't know which wood was used to make them.
However, a copy could be made today. Seeing as they came in ladder and concertina designs , they seem like an idea to play around with and they had a good height.
What do you think ? Hmm maybe I should patent this
Pan racks hanging from the ceiling is something else that you can have fun converting to a parrot toy.

Letter to the side chick
Hey, how you doing? I take it you have been talking to this guy for a couple months. You guys go on dates and everything is looking up, right? Right. So you have met the family and you feel slightly important. He even lets you keep a toothbrush over at the house and a couple of outfits! YAY! Well if its that deep, why hasn't he made you the girl friend? Why hasn't he made it official? I'm sure you 100% with being a couple. You want to change your facebook statuses and what not because you know a relationship isn't real until it's posted on the net, right? Riiight. So really, what's the hold up? Let me guess, you have no idea and every time you bring it up to him he changes the subject. This might come as a surprise but you're the side chick.
I don't know a guy that waits forever to make a girl his girl, unless he just a whore. Either he likes you or he doesn't. It's not rocket science. Unless he had a girlfriend for years before you and she cheated on him then killed his dog, broke his playstation 3, and slapped his mom he will not be that hurt that he can't commit. Even though you running around and telling people you in a relationship, you're not. Even though you frown your face up at girls being the side chick, you are a side chick until given the title. Stop being scared. Demand something or part ways. Better that then "talking" to someone for a couple months only to find out you two aren't going to be a couple. I personally think once you over the age of 21, saying I'm "talking" to someone already lets me know ain't shit popping off. Either we together or we not. Think about that, especially if you been talking to someone for longer then a couple weeks.

Tony Abbott says reported mobile phone hack did not compromise Julie Bishop MH17 talks
Following reports Foreign Minister Julie Bishop's mobile phone was hacked, Prime Minister Tony Abbott says sensitive discussions were conducted over secure phone lines and were not compromised.
News Corp reported on Saturday that Australian intelligence officials seized the phone when she returned from a trip negotiating access to the MH17 crash site in the Ukraine.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed in eastern Ukraine last month, killing 298 passengers and crew.
Australian intelligence agencies know which country those responsible for compromising the phone were from, News Corp said.
The phone was not used to discuss sensitive communications and was replaced.
Mr Abbott said he hadn't discussed this with Ms Bishop.
"It's well known that some countries do seek to, I suppose, target the phones of significant members of the Australian government. It's the sort of thing that does happen from time to time," he told reporters in Lithgow, NSW.
"But I can assure the Australian people that the very significant discussions that Julie Bishop was part of with me and with other members of the National Security Committee in recent times were all done over secure lines."
In November, the ABC and Guardian reported that Australia intelligence officials attempted to listen in to Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's mobile phone.
The surveillance targets also included senior figures in his inner circle and even his wife Kristiani Herawati, also known as Ani Yudhoyono, the ABC reported, based on leaked Edward Snowden documents.
It was also revealed this weekend that German intelligence intercepted at least one phone call by Hillary Clinton when she was US secretary of state, according to a newspaper report citing spy secrets allegedly gleaned by a US mole in Germany.
News Corp also reported in 2011 that the parliamentary computers of then Prime Minister Julia Gillard and at least two other senior ministers were suspected of being hacked.
It's well known that some countries do seek to, I suppose, target the phones of significant members of the Australian government. It's the sort of thing that does happen from time to time.Prime Minister Tony Abbott
Opposition finance spokesman Tony Burke said he was aware of a report of Bishop's incident.
"From the reports that we have seen the intelligence agencies have taken it seriously and are dealing with it," he told reporters in Sydney.
Mobile phones are generally surveilled using mobile phone interceptors, which cost about $100,000 each. They can also be bugged, although this is generally harder to do as it requires physical access.
Australian surveillance executive Les Goldsmith, chief executive of ESD Group and now based in Las Vegas, said questions remained.
"The real question is how was the mobile phone hacked? Was it spyware or was an interceptor used and how did they identify it was compromised?" he asked.
"Conducting a secure call to call back to Australia is fine. But if the minister's actual mobile phone or assistant's mobile phone is bugged then the audio in the room may already be intercepted. A hacked mobile phone is a spy in the room."
In December, Fairfax Media reported that Mr Goldsmith detected about 65 mobile phone interceptors in Asia between 2005 and 2011 when doing scans.
He also said his company found about 20 physical bugs when conducting sweeps in Australian business and local government offices, and another 68 in Asia.

Cancer risks associated with Lynch syndrome discovered
An international study led by the University of Melbourne has provided a clearer understanding of the cancer risks associated with the genetic mutation Lynch syndrome, a finding that could lead to earlier detection of a wide range of cancers in sufferers.
People with Lynch syndrome have a genetic mutation that gives them a high risk of several types of cancer including bowel cancer. The genes that are damaged can't repair any errors that occur in our DNA.
The study, which has been published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, confirmed the increased risk of cancers already known to be associated with Lynch syndrome, including colon, uterus, ovary, kidney, stomach, and bladder cancers. They also found those with Lynch syndrome faced a moderately increased risk of developing breast and pancreatic cancer.
The researchers, led by Dr Aung Ko Win, and Associate Professor Mark Jenkins, at The University of Melbourne's School of Population Health, followed 450 people with a mutation in one of the four mismatch repair genes associated with Lynch syndrome, and more than 1000 of their relatives who were not carriers of these mutations. Study participants were evaluated every five years at recruitment centres affiliated with the Colon Cancer Family Registry in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US.
After five years, those with Lynch syndrome had a 20-fold greater risk of colorectal cancer; a 30-fold greater risk of endometrial (uterine) cancer; a 19-fold higher risk of ovarian cancer; an 11-fold greater risk of kidney cancer; a 10-fold greater risk of pancreatic, stomach, and bladder cancers; and a four-fold greater risk of breast cancer. People with Lynch syndrome also tended to be diagnosed with these cancers at an earlier age than people in the general population.
The researchers said their findings regarding breast cancer were unexpected. They said further studies were needed to determine if ages at mammographic screening or methods such as use of MRI should be recommended for people with Lynch syndrome. Currently, individuals with Lynch syndrome typically undergo colonoscopy at an earlier age than the general population, but no other special screening regimens have been agreed upon.
This is also the largest study to date of cancer risk for non-carriers of family specific mutations.
"Our study revealed that these people have an average risk of developing cancer as opposed to the high risk of their mutation-carrying close relatives and hence do not need to worry unnecessarily and over screen to detect cancer," said Associate Professor Jenkins.
"While not a common condition, approximately 20,000 Australians have Lynch syndrome and a very high risk of cancer. Over time, as improved screening methods become available, the findings may help doctors refine screening guidelines for breast, uterus, colon and other cancers among patients with Lynch syndrome. In the meantime, genetic testing will give people a clearer indication of their real risk level and clarify what they could or should not do to reduce their risks of cancer."
People who think they might be at increased risk for cancer due to family history should attend a Family Cancer Clinics for genetic testing and advice so cancers can be detected and treated as early as possible.

"…the families of immigrants who go missing along the border — likely victims of exposure or dehydration — are largely shut out of this system. Because no one really knows precisely where they disappeared, there is no straightforward way for family members to file an official missing person report or to deposit a DNA profile in the FBI's national database to match to the bodies found along the border.
Police often refuse to take missing person reports. Border Patrol and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said they do not investigate such cases.
And many families of the missing have no idea where to file reports anyway, or they fear getting deported if they contact police.
As a result, hundreds of unknown bodies — including children — have been buried in Arizona and Texas, where the largest numbers of deaths are recorded."
I won't pretend to understand exactly how or why there have been thousands of immigrants who have gone missing, presumed dead while crossing the southern border of Texas.
Recently the deaths have soared in what's referred to as the worst place for immigrants to die: Brooks County, Texas.
Brooks County, Texas, is approximately an eleven and a half hour drive from where I live, and, that's where a group of forensic teams of college students are literally digging up the bodies of undocumented-immigrants from unmarked graves.
It's said that Brooks County is attractive to smugglers because it's poor, it's littered with abandoned warehouses, and with 7,000 or so residents living in an area about the size of Rhode Island – where besides the Border Patrol, only one sheriff deputy patrols a 900 or more mile area.
The stories in the news are ongoing, numerous and disturbing accounts of immigrant children being 'turned away at the borders'. It's like a never-ending story complete with up-close pictures that show us clearly what a 'Total Systems Failure' looks like… Yet, we turn a blind eye to what's going on.
As I read the daily headlines, with all the chaos of war, as well as countless other indignities that we impose upon one another, I'm reminded of a quote I recently read:
"When something beyond reason happens, it turns skeptics into believers – believer's in a higher power. But what kind of power did this?" Dexter Morgan, the main character of the Showtime drama series 'Dexter'
So yeah, it's an important question. What kind of power did this?
What kind of power accepts and allows a World, OUR World, to come to this?
The power of Money, the power of Greed?
Because truthfully, if these people, that we have defined as immigrants, if they were all rich instead of poor, well then, that would change everything.
Alas, Fear is a powerful motivator. And the truth is, the kind of power that did this, that manifests wars and all the suffering that comes with being poor – like going without the simple basics needed to live life, like clean water, food, healthcare, a home and a proper education. The kind of power that keeps those things from others, manifests when we want our freedom from the constant demands that comes as life within a system that has failed to first and foremost support the citizens of the country.
Interesting, how with all our running around trying to survive, what's happening is, we're creating death and destruction and we're the only ones who can stop it. I wonder when that'll be? Because it's inevitable, in order for humanity to survive itself without destroying earth in the process, is going to require a money system structured according to what's best for all.
So,,, this story is just one of the many consequences manifesting within our world. A world that turns a blind eye to a child in crisis. A world where money is the only power simply because we haven't yet realized it is this way because WE accept and allow a broken money system to determine how life itself is to be experienced. And, we 'think' there's nothing we can do. But, there is.
Time to take Responsibility.
Read how we can design a change that is at the Service of Life…

People whose sexual identities changed toward same-sex attraction in early adulthood reported more symptoms of depression in a nationwide survey than those whose sexual orientations did not change or changed in the opposite direction, according to a new study by a University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) sociologist.
Social scientists have long argued documentary films are powerful tools for social change.
But a University of Iowa (UI) sociologist and his co-researchers are the first to use the Internet and social media to systematically show how a documentary film reshaped public perception and ultimately led to municipal bans on hydraulic fracking.
Flawed forensics and overstated claims make scientific evidence tricky at trial.
Do police treat religious-based protest events differently than secular ones? Drawing on data from more than 15,000 protest events in the United States (1960 to 1995) and using quantitative methods, we find that law enforcement agents were less likely to show up at protests when general religious actors, actions, or organizations were present. Rather than reflecting privileged legitimacy, we find that this protective effect is explained by religious protesters' use of less threatening tactics at events.
Recent scholarship highlights the importance of public discourse for the mobilization and impact of social movements, but it neglects how cultural products may shift discourse and thereby influence mobilization and political outcomes. This study investigates how activism against hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") utilized cultural artifacts to influence public perceptions and effect change. A systematic analysis of Internet search data, social media postings, and newspaper articles allows us to identify how the documentary Gasland reshaped public discourse.
Multiple chronic conditions (i.e., multimorbidity) increase a person's depressive symptoms more than having one chronic condition. Little is known regarding whether multimorbidity similarly increases the depressive symptoms of one's spouse and whether this depends on type of condition, gender, or both spouses' health status. Analysis of multiple waves of the Health and Retirement Study reveals husband's number of chronic conditions is positively related to wife's depressive symptoms when both spouses are chronically ill.
Although both China and Russia have experienced several decades of market reform, initial evidence suggests that this structural change has compromised mental and physical health among the Russian population but not the Chinese population. Using data from the World Health Organization Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (2007–2010), this study examines the factors associated with the disparity in depression between older adults in China and their Russian counterparts, all of whom experienced market transition in the prime of their lives (N = 10,896).
In this article, I share some thoughts about how we might extend the study of mental health inequalities by drawing from key insights in sociology and sociological social psychology about the nature of inequality and the processes through which it is produced, maintained, and resisted. I suggest several questions from sociological research on stratification that could help us understand unexpected patterns of mental health inequalities.
As a tribute to the body of work created by our late colleague Leonard I. Pearlin, this essay assesses how the evolution of the Stress Process Model, the centerpiece of his work, repeatedly reinvented sociological research on stress and mental health and explains why this model, therefore, possesses the potential to renew itself well into the future.
The article discusses alternative wedding ceremonies staged in urban spaces as a statement of protest among immigrant couples that cannot marry in rabbinical courts, because they are not recognized as Jews. These public weddings are organized and sponsored by the Fishka association of young Israeli adults of Russian origin.

According to The American Nursery
and Landscape Association?s poll,
conducted by the Gallup Organization, $16.8 billion was spent in 1998 on landscapes, lawns, and trees. More than $7.9 billion of that was for lawn and landscape maintenance. With this amount of money being spent annually, the professional landscape contractor has to be able to produce the customer?s desired results. One of a contractor?s biggest challenges is to control
public enemy #1, weeds!
Webster?s definition of a weed is ?an unwanted plant: a plant, especially a wild plant, growing where it is not wanted.? Ralph Waldo Emerson defined a weed as ?a plant whose virtues have not been discovered.? However, neither Webster nor Emerson was a professional contractor, and to a contractor in the green industry today, weeds are a fact of life, a virtual thorn in their side. Fortunately, there are many choices available on the market today to control weeds, organic and otherwise, allowing the sharp contractor to stay on top of the balancing act between man and nature.
The ingredients for a healthy turf are the proper amounts of sun, water, and nutrients. When an optimal environment is provided for the turf, the deeper and thicker the root system will become reducing the chance of weeds popping up. Most weeds need light to germinate, and a thick, dense turf automatically excludes them. Thatch will not be a problem if a mulching mower is used. Leaving the top layer of grass mulched on the ground allows natural nutrients to build up.
An additional issue is the height of the grass. Mowing too close can ruin the crown of the grass plant, exposing the soil to light, giving weed seeds an edge, and allowing them to germinate.
Choosing the proper balance of fertilizer is one of the tricks of the trade. There are different formulas available for use for the different seasons throughout the year. Nitrogen is necessary for top growth and greening up the turf.
Phosphorus and potassium are necessary to encourage stronger roots.
The proper pH is another significant factor in getting the most ?bang for your buck? from your fertilizer applications. Generally, soils east of the Mississippi River and in the Pacific Northwest tend to be acidic (below 7.0), while those in the Plains states, Rocky Mountain region, and Southwest are usually alkaline (above 7.0). Most grasses flourish in soils that are mildly acidic, 6.0-7.0. This is easily tested and is just as easily adjusted by either adding lime to raise the pH or sulfur to lower the pH.
When it comes to choosing herbicides, the contractor normally has to determine the problem and purchase the control product that addresses his particular weed problem. There are two categories of weeds: broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds. There are products available on the market to control both of these types of weeds. Most herbicides are of the post-emergent type ? we put the controls down after the weeds emerge. Common ingredients for the control of broad-leaf weeds are: 2-4-D, Clopyralid, and Dicambe. Grassy weeds such as crabgrass are usually controlled with a pre-emergent herbicide.
Michael Hofman of Janet Moyer Landscapes in San Francisco says, ?In an ethereal sense, weeds are a plant out of place and a weed is only in the eye of the beholder. But in the ornamental landscape industry, what we are trying to do is bend nature to our will.?
Keeping in mind that if the turf and bedding plants are healthy and vigorous, they will provide greater competition for the weeds. Hofman?s company takes a ?multi-pronged? approach in dealing with weeds in the landscaping. First, they try to educate their clients in an attempt to raise their tolerance level to the acceptance that a few weeds are okay. They deem that if the rest of the landscape looks exceptional, then people are not going to take notice of a few weeds in the shrub beds. Hofman says he reminds his clients that since they do have a ?slice of nature? in their backyard, they need to remember that in nature, there are weeds.
The second thing they do is take a very strong ?cultural approach? to weed control; they use a great deal of mulch, use drip irrigation in all planting beds, minimizing the amount of water that weeds get, and they ensure that additional weed seeds are not allowed to be present by removing any weeds before they have a chance to go to seed.
The third approach is control products. Because of their location, they have to be especially cautious of the products they use as the water run-off heads straight into the bay. In situations where these products are necessary, they use the least toxic approach. Instead of using a pre-emergent or weed and feed, they prefer to spot treat the turf and flowerbeds. However, if a bed is being overrun by weeds, herbicide sprays are used to eradicate the situation.
Hofman highly recommends the use of a mulching mower. Before they started using mulching mowers, a monthly application of fertilizer on their client?s lawn was standard procedure; They didn?t follow the feast/ famine method of the ?four times a year plan.? Ever since they have been using mulching mowers, they fertilize no more than three times a year.
?I believe that using a broad based approach to herbicide management, is kind of like shooting an ant with a shotgun.? Hofman?s concern over the environment is personal, but is shared by many contractors. One reason for this may be the regulations many states attach to their contractor?s license.
In California, for instance, every person who applies control products ?for hire? is required to be licensed. Each year they have to be inspected; they have to get licensed in the counties that they are working in; and they have to send in monthly use reports. Certain control products, classified as Category 1 Herbicides, require that 24 hours prior to a scheduled application, a ?request to apply? must be submitted. It could possibly be denied or an onsite inspection may be required. Most states have their own ?IPM? programs, Integrated Pest Management, and their standards will vary.
Gary Krause of Gary Krause Landscaping located in Jacksonville, Oregon, does not agree that a weed is a plant in the wrong place. ?A weed is a pest. Weeds are in the pest management program. A weed is a noxious plant that will compete for soil, moisture, and nutrients with the plants that you are trying to cultivate,? he emphasizes.
Krause?s approach to weed control is very similar to Hofman?s. He recommends against the use of herbicides in a flowering plant bed. ?They have to be hand, mechanically weeded. If not, when the seasons change and you go to plant a different plant, it may be sensitive to the herbicide, causing poor growth or death.?
Locality plays a big part in the technique of choice by the contractor when faced with a neglected turf or an upstart turf. Very often when establishing a new turf, the grade has to be changed. The more you turn the soil, the more weed seeds you bring to the surface. In such cases, an approach used by some contractors is to remove a three-foot layer of the soil and fill it back in with topsoil and amenities. There are problems attached to this, the major one being the expense, especially for those working in an urban area like Michael Hofman.
?Sometimes our access to the backyard is through our clients? white carpeted floors and the doorway is less than three feet wide,? says Hofman, ?so small that you can?t even get a wheelbarrow through there.? So, in many cases it?s not physically possible to take a bulldozer in, haul the soil away and bring truckloads of new soil in.
And it would be senseless to try to do it all by hand.
The second problem is that if you don?t add some of the original soil back in with the new soil, there will be problems with planting trees and shrubs. These new plants generally prefer the new soil with all of its amenities and when their roots hit the ?hard pan,? or the original soil they will start spreading out, creating an unhealthy, shallow root system.
Krause has more choices when establishing a new healthy lawn. He?s able to use the equipment needed to move dirt. Generally, he will start with a rough sub-grade. He brings in fill dirt to establish the sub-grade, then four to six inches of topsoil that?s been amended with enough organic material to make the soil extremely viable and nutrient filled. He uses this to finish the final grading. The finishing touch is to put down sod. Should a little spot of weeds pop up, though, Krause recommends taking a little shaker can of weed control and shake just enough for that one spot. He also recommends that every two years the lawn should be mulched with sterile, bagged manure, raked in. This rebuilds the soil, allowing the grass to grow higher.
It is not always financially feasible to use hand labor to control weeds, just as it is not always physically feasible to use herbicides. Thus, the balancing act between man and nature referred to earlier. Common sense is the professional contractor?s greatest asset. Environmental concerns, and most importantly, staying informed about new and improved control products introduced on the market will lead to success and the end-result will be satisfied clients.

10 Phrases You Shouldn't Have On Your Cover Letter
Think your cover letter is perfectly crafted? Check to make sure you're not including any of these no-nos in it.
1. "I meet the requirements for the position."Hundreds of candidates will meet the requirements for the position. That's not enough to get you a second look. You want to explain why you're an excellent candidate, not just an adequate one.
2. "I'm hard-working and a great communicator." And probably a team player and an independent self-starter, too. These are cliches that cause hiring managers' eyes to glaze over. Worse, they don't convey anything of substance―the fact that you've assessed yourself as these things will hold no weight whatsoever with employers, who prefer to assess these things for themselves.
3. "I'm a visionary leader." But not very humble, apparently. If you're truly a visionary leader―or a master communicator, or whatever other brag you're tempted to make―it should be evident from the accomplishments you've listed on your resume. Proclaiming this about yourself comes across as, well, weird.
4. "You won't find a candidate better qualified than me." Unless you've seen the rest of the candidate pool, you have no way of knowing that. This comes off as needlessly cocky hyperbole―and it's generally inaccurate, to boot. If you're really stunningly qualified, the hiring manager should be able to spot that on her own. Simply proclaiming it, especially when you have no basis to know if it's true, doesn't reflect well on you.
5. "Dear sir or madam." In most industries, this will come across as an antiquated, stuffy salutation. If you know the hiring manager's name, use that instead, but if not, simply writing "dear hiring manager" is fine, and won't make you appear as if you come from an earlier century.
6. "I'll call you in a week to schedule an interview." Job seekers can't unilaterally decide to schedule an interview, and inappropriately pushy to pretend otherwise. Some people believe that asserting themselves like this will demonstrate persistence and good salesmanship, but in reality, it just annoys hiring managers.
7. "I'm willing to work for below the salary you're offering."Candidates who write this generally are hoping that it will get them an interview when their qualifications alone wouldn't have. But it doesn't work, because hiring managers want to hire the best person for the job, have budgeted a certain amount for the position, and aren't going to take a weaker candidate just because she offers to work for less than the budgeted salary.
8. "I've attached my college transcripts, a list of references, a 15-page writing sample, and my last performance review."Unless the job posting specifically asked for these items, don't include them. At this stage, employers just want a resume and a cover letter. Don't overwhelm them with items they haven't asked for and might not want. Wait until you've progressed further in the process, and then ASK if they'd like these items.
9. "Please contact me if you'd like to see my resume." Job seekers occasionally send a letter of interest in a job without including a resume, to the great mystification of hiring managers everywhere. If you're writing to a company about potential work, you must include your resume. It's the first thing an employer will want to see, and they have no way of knowing if you're someone they'd like to speak further with without first seeing that.
10. "I really need a job. I'm desperate." Hiring managers might feel sympathy for you if you're desperate, but that's not going to make them hire you. Your cover letter needs to focus on why you'd excel at the job you're applying for, not how badly you need it.

Not a bad week for me. I did miss one of my speed workouts, but only because I did a boot camp class on Friday and my legs were toast afterwards so I kept the run on the easy side. I also hit 1000 miles for the year so far so I am a little ahead of my 2,000 mile year goal.
I think one more higher mileage week and then I am going to taper down a bit for my 5K which is about 3 weeks away right now. I definitely want to get at least two speed sessions in this week too.
Milestones this week:

More streakers = lots of milestones! Congrats to all!
I just got back from a tough 16 miles. I don't know why I find it so hard to do my long runs on Mondays -- I think maybe it is in my head. I am going to have to start juggling running times since the kids get out of school this week and I am done working for the summer. I am going to have to be creative but I know I will make it work.
Hope everyone has a good week!
Ok, you southern runners, don't hurt me for saying this, but....it is finally summer in Michigan & the heat has been killing me on my runs. A few runs in the humidity & 80+ temps has killed my pace & energy levels. Heat doesn't usually bother me, but for some reason it is this summer. I guess I just need to get my lazy butt out of bed & do my runs at 5 or 6 am instead of sleeping til 7 & lounging til 9 or 10, then running. I've started training for marathon #2, so there will be no excuses for not running now!
36 miles today!
I think you mean 36 days, which is awesome!! Though if you really ran 36 miles today that is pretty awesome too!!
Country Fried
Day 1: run 1 mile
Day 2: run 2 miles
Day 3: run 3 miles
Day 15: run 15 miles
how long can you keep THIS streak going?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I fly.
100 days today.
Oh and I caught the pace bunny again. This time I'm leaving him in my dust and not falling behind again.
Bring it on.
As a newbie in the group, it only just now occurs to me that for me to move up the list, no matter how little or how far I run, someone else has to have their streak broken.
Anyway, congrats to all those celebrating milestones, that is so cool and inspiring to me!!!
I'm on Day 22 of my first streak ever!!
As a newbie in the group, it only just now occurs to me that for me to move up the list, no matter how little or how far I run, someone else has to have their streak broken.
Not necessarily true. If you are talking about moving to the TOP of the list, then Yes someone has to end their streak. However, if you are talking about getting away from teh BOTTOM, then we just need to get new members (and ones that are not coming in with streaks already in the 3-400s)
Day 1: run 1 mile
Day 2: run 2 miles
Day 3: run 3 miles
Day 15: run 15 miles
how long can you keep THIS streak going?
If I had to guess - 17 days. Maybe I'll give it a go after my 5K in July. It would be weird for the first 5 or so days running so few miles for so many days in a row though.
But think about how cool your graph would look if you could keep that up for 30 days.
In it for the long run..
"It's not who wins the workout..."
I think you mean 36 days, which is awesome!! Though if you really ran 36 miles today that is pretty awesome too!!
Oops, 36 days!! No chance of 36 miles any time in the next....decade! Not if I want to keep the streak alive.
Chicago RnR 1/2 Marathon
I'll reset the graph. Still down on injury. I did successfully walk on Saturday and Sunday about 5 mi per day on the foot, and I'm only minimally sore.
I'm starting back GENTLY tomorrow and hopefully I am mostly healed. I know soft tissue can take a long time, but I'm out of time, so I'll brace, ice and hope.
I'll do personals tomorrow-- BUSY day at the office and at least a few more hours before I can get home.
Chris PRs: 27:26 5k/ 49:52 5mi/ 58:17 10k/ 2:09:24 half/ 5:13:17 Full

2019 Goals 1,250 miles/ Fundraise, Train, and Execute the 3-Day / Race a half marathon/ Try for a sub-6 hour marathonRun, consistently, without fail
Step back mileage-wise for me last week. Ran 30 miles, while a "normal" week for me is 35. Ran three miles of a six mile run at a nice effort, and also did a 5 X 1K workout.
I would be able to do the first 10 days without a problem. I would be able to recover and continue to run every day. I'd do short runs for a while though.
If I continued, I think I would have to take some time off to recover, and for me, it would be no fun at all. I think I might be able to get to 13?

It's hard to believe that it's already November. October has flown by leaving us in a barren wonderland of brown and orange. School is in full swing and holiday season is just around the corner. At Zojirushi that means one thing— more cooking!
Between the crisp weather, the short days and the holiday season, there is plenty of reason to get together over good food. And, why not make this year different from the rest? Who says Thanksgiving dinner needs to be the same old turkey, string beans and mashed potatoes? Step away from the norms of yesteryear, and make this season your own. Surprise your friends with something completely unexpected this time. Whether that means a meal made entirely from local ingredients, or turkey enchiladas with rice and beans, we ask you to use your creativity this holiday season. And as always, Zojirushi will be here to help you along the way.
We look forward to hearing from the most important people in our company: You! We want to see all the individual ways that you create thoughtful and innovative meals this November. Please share your, stories, pictures and recipes with us on our Facebook and Twitter page. We really look forward to seeing what you create. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
How do you like your pancakes? Do you take them with butter, maple syrup, chocolate chips or blueberries? How about pork? What about with bonito flakes and mayonnaise on top? Sounds good? To most Americans, probably not.
Okonomiyaki, or Japanese pancakes, are savory treats enjoyed for lunch and snack across Japan. Often filled with things like seafood, bacon, cabbage or green onion, these pancakes are significantly more substantial than their American counterparts. Okonomi literally means, "what you like" and Yaki means, "grilled" making these sizzling delicacies, quite literally, a mixture of whatever you want.
If you ever have the chance to travel through Japan, be sure to sample okonomiyaki whenever and wherever you can. There are many versions of these pancakes depending on the region. However, you don't need to cross the pacific to try okonomiyaki. These pancakes are fun and easy to make at home. A simple Google search and a trip to your local Japanese market are all you need to explore new flavors in your own kitchen. And the best way to make okonomiyaki at home? A Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle!
So, next time you're stumped on what to make for Sunday lunch, why not try something completely new and different? Surprise your family with something they've never heard of and never could have imagined. Happy cooking!

CREW TV brings you closer to the industry's
most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
Condo rating sites have become more popular with sellers fearful that they become a key purchasing factor. But how instrumental are rating sites in the decision making process and what can sellers do to alleviate the bad press?
Video transcript below:
Reporter: Consumers have never had so much power. From food to phones, we rank and rate everything online. Now there are condo rate websites. Will they force developers to make change? We find out in this week's episode of Investor Insight on CREW TV.
So many condos, so much choice. New condo rating websites should provide a helping hand. But what can you really learn from such websites?
Davelle Morris, Sales Representative, Bosley Real Estate
Davelle Morris: Those sites have information that's written by some people who live there or some other people who are just sort of critiquing the building, obviously some of that advice you do need to take with a grain of salt. It can't be your end all only place to find out information about a particular condo. However, you could probably find out pretty quickly if maybe there is a special assessment coming, because the people who live in the building are complaining about repairs or roof leaks or things that need to be dealt in the building, so I think it's something good to keep in mind to utilise those websites, just as another tool to find out more information when you are trying to invest in a particular condo, what are condos like.
Reporter: It's a good research tool, but how can investors counteract any negative press about their condo developments?
Justin Kua, Platinum Estates Team, Re/Max Realtron
Justin Kua: I think that the Ray Condo sites would be very good for the industry as a whole and home owners, if they would take stock in investment and what the current state that their property is and so I mean definitely if you are getting a lot of negative feedback from either the tenants or the owners, it's something that the active owners who do care about can turn the reputation of the building around. So generally every single year as an example, there is an annual general meeting and the condo board members are usually condo owners themselves, so they are the ones who are heralding the ship at the end of the day, because everybody who does own, who does own a unit near in the condo, they are invested in the property so it wouldn't it be to their benefit, so beware of the ongoing issues, so that the reputation they have out there in the public is in the best possible light, attracting the best quality buyers and they pay you more or the highest prices.
