Hello, you fabulous Lang-ers! After this week, you have become skilled rhetorical analysis writers.
1. Your task for this short week is to go to http://Google.com/Doodles.
2. Scroll through the years and find one that you feel is one you could write about in-depth. You will be doing a mini-rhetorical analysis of this image.
3. Complete AP PARTS for the Google Doodle you have chosen in your journals (don't post your AP PARTS--this just helps you plan out your analysis).
4. Then, determine what its purpose/argument is. Finally, determine what rhetorical devices this image is utilizing and what they say about the purpose/argument.
5. In the comments function, link us to your image (drop the URL into your comment) and write a stylistic short rhetorical analysis of your Doodle.
6. Once you have posted your comment, you are not done. Come back to the blog to comment on someone else's Google Doodle Rhetorical Analysis. Feel free to add something you spot that the original poster may have overlooked. A second pair of eyes is always better than just one.
If you are interested in what other people have said about Google Doodles, here is a cool article that someone compiled about a site's interpretation and opinion of the best ones Google has ever created.
Happy Google Doodling, and have a happy and safe fall break! Due: Sunday, September 20 at midnight!
Blog Post 3: In Cold Blood response
After we have read and discussed Truman Capote's In Cold Blood in depth, choose one of the following to develop a cohesive rhetorical analysis response about the text.
1. Capote's In Cold Blood has been referred to as a "nonfiction" novel. What rhetorical strategies does Capote use in order to make it read more like a novel than just a straightforward nonfiction text?
2. How does Capote employ ethos, pathos, or logos in order to persuade the reader? And of what is he trying to persuade the reader? Is he successful?
3. Consider Capote's voice in the narrative. (What person is it written in? Is he objective or subjective?) How does the voice used affect the book as whole?
4. Which rhetorical devices does Capote employ in order to create suspense in a book that really shouldn't be suspenseful?
5. What tones are employed throughout, and which rhetorical devices are used to establish these tones?
Post your cohesive response in the comments below. Once you have posted, please respond to at least one other person with your thoughts on their analysis.

Rush Limbaugh is at it again, fueling white fear in the America by suggesting that President Obama has emboldened young black kids to attack white kids randomly, and suggests maybe it's time to go back to segregated busing. As with the Jena Six kerfluffle involving the white kid attacked by black kids, there is almost always another side to the story that doesn't map back to simply the race of the combantants. I think race had become the defacto cause for everything on both the left and the right, and it's saddening and sickening.
Limbaugh just likes to hear himself say stupid stuff, but I'm convinced that the race talk—- none of it —helps move us forward as a country.

|Leonardo da Vinci
|Portrait by Francesco Melzi
|Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci
()15 April 1452
Vinci, Republic of Florence (present-day Italy)
|2 May 1519(1519-05-02) (aged 67)
Amboise, Kingdom of France
|Known for
|Art, science
|High Renaissance
The Idea that forms in my mind when "Leonardo da Vinci" the name is mentioned is " Vitruvian Man"
|A 1684 depiction of Vitruvius (right) presenting De Architectura to Augustus
|Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
Roman Republic
|15 BC (aged 64–75)
|Author, architect, civil engineer and military engineer
|Notable work
|De architectura
Vitruvius writes about the proportions of man...
3. Just so the parts of Temples should correspond with each other, and with the whole. The navel is naturally placed in the centre of the human body, and, if in a man lying with his face upward, and his hands and feet extended, from his navel as the centre, a circle be described, it will touch his fingers and toes. It is not alone by a circle, that the human body is thus circumscribed, as may be seen by placing it within a square. For measuring from the feet to the crown of the head, and then across the arms fully extended, we find the latter measure equal to the former; so that lines at right angles to each other, enclosing the figure, will form a square.[27]
It was upon these writings that Leonardo da Vinci based his Vitruvian Man.
Vitruvius described the human figure as being the principal source of proportion.
The drawing itself is often used as an implied symbol of the essential symmetry of the human body, and by extension, of the universe as a whole.[28]
I think one of Leonardo's most powerful painting is " Salvator Mundi is a painting of Christ as Salvator Mundi (Latin for Savior of the World)
|Salvator Mundi
|English: Savior of the World
|Leonardo da Vinci
|Oil on walnut
|45.4 cm × 65.6 cm (25.8 in × 19.2 in)
|Louvre Abu Dhabi
It is one of fewer than 20 known works by Leonardo, and was the only one to remain in a private collection. It was sold at auction by Christie's in New York to Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Farhan[5] on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture & Tourism on 15 November 2017, for $450.3 million, setting a new record for most expensive painting ever sold.[6][7] The painting is to be on display at the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art and civilization museum, located in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The museum was established on November 8, 2017.[3] It is part of a thirty-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. The museum is located on the Saadiyat Island Cultural District. It is approximately 24,000 square metres (260,000 sq ft) in size, with 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft) of galleries [4], making it the largest art museum in the Arabian peninsula. The final cost of the construction is expected to be about €600 million[5]. In addition, US$525 million was paid by Abu Dhabi to be associated with the Louvre name, and an additional US$747 million will be paid in exchange for art loans, special exhibitions and management advice.[6]
Artworks from around the world are showcased at the museum, with particular focus placed upon bridging the gap between Eastern and Western art.[7]
|Page of the Codex Leicester
|Leonardo da Vinci
|Florence, Italy
|1510 (1504–1508)
|72 (18 sheets)
The Codex Leicester (also briefly known as Codex Hammer) is a collection of famous scientific writings by Leonardo da Vinci. The Codex is named after Thomas Coke, later created Earl of Leicester, who purchased it in 1719. Of Leonardo's 30 scientific journals, the Codex may be the most famous of all. The manuscript currently holds the record for the second highest sale price of any book, as it was sold to Bill Gates at Christie's auction house on 11 November 1994 in New York for US$30,802,500 (equivalent to $50,858,000 in 2017).[1][2][3]
The Codex provides an insight into the inquiring mind of the definitive Renaissance artist, scientist and thinker as well as an exceptional illustration of the link between art and science and the creativity of the scientific process.[4]
"To develop a complete mind: Study the art of science; study the science of art. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else" – Leonardo DaVinci
my symbol of- "The Androgyny"- me
or non-duality
The brilliance of this quote is also separated in 2 parts. The first part, "To develop a complete mind: Study the art of science; study the science of art." speaks of taking 2 opposites and entangling them together in order to create a complete vision of the whole.
When we step back and try to see the "bigger picture" we realize that everything is a game of opposites. We live in the world of duality.
However, the essence of each opposite lies at its opposite's core. In other words, look at the Ying Yang symbol and see that the essence of light lies at its opposite's core – that little white dot in the midst of darkness – and vice versa .
Only by using light to understand darkness and using darkness to understand light, we can get to know the essence of both opposites, the reason of their existence.
Only by knowing the wholeness of both sides we can realize that they are actually one "coin". Only by knowing the wholeness of a thing, we can go beyond and use it with its true potential.
We live in a world of duality but our purpose is to find opposites, connect them and create oneness. Our passion should be using the illusion of separateness to create new wholes.
We must "Learn how to see.", as the second part of this quote says, "Realize that everything connects to everything else".
Life is the art of The Universe. The entanglement of energies anchored by Matter, limited by time-space, interacting between certain forces and creating their own, unique colors with the illusion of separateness is like an image painting itself.
We are all connected to everything else and everything else is connected to us. Our past, present and future are all merged into one dot we call now.
We are limited by forces and we experience separateness so we can understand The Whole from every angle and go beyond together, as unity.
The forces and laws we play with are in perfect harmony with each other. Their only rule is balance and Nature never tolerates misbalance.
"Nature never breaks her own laws" – Leonardo DaVinci
I personally see Society today highly "Fragmented, and causes mainly by false beliefs or mis-understanding, and highly recommend we, all work to get back in "Balance with Nature", as my God/is Nature, and things are not looking so good. Yet answer is easy ; "Let go of "Pre-Concieved Notions"

Ritzy Baby Shopping Cart Cover
I am absolutely the biggest germ-a-phobe out there. For me the ultimate in yuck! are shopping carts. So many people touch them with all matter of I do not know what on their hands. I had a generic shopping cart cover that I felt limited what I could do - it was basically a huge mess of cloth. I am delighted to tell you about Ritzy Baby Shopping Cart Covers. They come in the coolest patterns I have ever seen, and have great extra features that I love. We got one in Lime Star Paisley, and within minutes, I had two moms ask me where I got it. The covers can be used on shopping carts (including warehouse ones), restaurant high chairs, and safety swings at the park. The covers are reversible for two unique looks, and are generously designed to cover all of the germy areas. They are extra soft and have cushion for a smooth and comfy ride.
They have two toy clips and sippy-cup/bottle holders on each side. On the back there is a large sectioned pocket to store moms things, or baby's (it is perfect for holding shopping coupons). They are 100% machine washable, and you can use them with two children in the cart.
I have tried to show pics, but I apologize, it was night, and I was bargaining with my daughter to sit still. This is by far the best shopping cart cover out there. It looks great, does the job and then some, and most importantly keeps germs away from my child! I am super excited to try out more of Ritzy Baby products. I think the mommy that owns this business is super smart and definitely knows what real moms want!

Hackney schoolboy and Bodyguard star Jaden Oshenye: 'He was born for the stage'
PUBLISHED: 08:43 28 September 2016 | UPDATED: 09:27 28 September 2016
Emma Bartholomew catches up with Petchey Academy pupil Jaden Oshenye, who at 12 years old is already a rising star in the West End.
For 12-year-old Jaden Oshenye, starring in hit West End show The Bodyguard gives him a chance to show his "true colours" doing three things he loves most in the world – singing, dancing and acting.
Petchey Academy boy Jaden spent five months this spring touring the country playing Fletcher alongside X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke, who played his mother.
The show is based on the 1992 romantic thriller that starred Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.
Now Jaden is balancing school life with three weekly performances at the Dominion Theatre where he shares a stage with chart sensation Beverley Knight.
Jaden said: "It's nice to show what you've got in front of thousands of people every day.
"To see the crowd cheer for you and say 'well done' makes me feel happy and proud. I feel confident and it's very uplifting.
"The dancing is all about the facial expressions and how you move around and cover the space. You get to sing the high notes and it sounds beautiful, and acting shows who you can be and who you can't be. It's just really fun."
Jaden is grateful to the Anna Fiorentini Theatre and Film School for helping him land the role through its agency.
He started at the acting school two years ago when his choir teachers at London Fields Primary picked him out to receive a bursary from the Anna Fiorentini Foundation, after stealing the show as the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.
The bursary gives youngsters the chance to attend who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.
According to mum Dion, Jaden – the eldest of four – is a "born entertainer", who has been "dancing since he was a baby", holding onto other people for support. People would even pay him to dance at birthday parties.
"He would just go into the centre and dance and everyone would admire him," she said. "Everyone around us noticed he had some talent."
Jaden performs at the Hackney Empire on Saturday night in a special gala for the 15th anniversary of the Anna Fiorentini drama school.

When she is old enough to understand such things, Linnea Montano will probably listen to what her mother did a month or so before she was born and then fix the image in her mind. She might blink a few times while looking at her mom and say, "You did what?''
On June 26, 2014, while eight months pregnant with Linnea, Alysia Montano lined up for the first round of the women's 800 meters at the USATF Outdoor Championships in Sacramento, Calif. One veteran sportswriter in attendance said it was the most shocking sight he had seen in nearly 40 years on the job, relegating his first peek at 7-foot-7 Manute Bol on a basketball court to No. 2.
Accentuating her pregnancy all the more, Montano wore a bright pink singlet that rode up a bit on her swollen tummy. It looked like she had tried to hide a rugby ball under her shirt and failed.
Nevertheless and with her doctor's OK, the University of California graduate and 2012 Olympian ran the full distance, joyfully so, in 2 minutes, 32.13 seconds in what was surely the happiest last-place finish of her career.
"I got inspired by running at last year's nationals,'' Montano said. "It was an experience that I will cherish with my daughter forever. It was great to remind myself of that competitive feeling of toeing the line.''
As it turned out, Montano actually ran a little faster than two of the competitors in the U.S. junior women's heptathlon 800 in a classic comparison of apples and oranges.
"That is awesome,'' Montano said. "I couldn't imagine adding a bunch of other events on top of my training for the 800. I'm sure those hep girls would kill me in a few events themselves.''
Because she took such good care of herself during her pregnancy, Montano was able to begin training a mere six weeks after giving birth. Six months later, she returned to competition by winning the 600 meters at the USATF Indoor Championships despite a pronounced distaste for indoor running. Her time of 1:26.59 was the seventh-fastest in U.S. history.
"When she said she wanted to run indoors, I about fell out of my chair,'' said Montano's mentor, Cal head coach Tony Sandoval. "I'm astonished. Where she was back in August … we had no intention of her running indoors. We thought it would take a year to get her body back. I am shocked that she came back so fast. To win USA Indoors was phenomenal. Her workouts have been beyond all expectations.''
These days, Montano's workouts are conducted at College of the Canyons in her hometown of Santa Clarita, Calif. She and her husband and agent, Louis Montano, moved back to their hometown from Berkeley primarily for the convenience of having family around for babysitting purposes.
"My husband and I decided to relocate back to our hometown in December and kept it a secret to surprise our families for Christmas. It was a hit,'' Alysia Montano said. "Since we grew up here both of our families are a big help with Linnea, but most importantly we wanted her to grow up with close relationships with our family.''
At College of the Canyons, some of Montano's workouts are supervised by 1988 Olympic sprinter Denean Howard Hill, although Sandoval remains her coach and sends her weekly workouts.
"When it comes to having someone do drill work, Denean has been there,'' Sandoval said. "It's always nice to have somebody watch. That's one dark area that's missing. I don't see her. Denean has been there. Louis has been wonderful. He's been a nice extension of me. He knows what I want.''
Sandoval said Montano will move back to Berkeley for the month preceding the 2015 USATF Championships, a time when his duties with his Cal team are greatly lessened. For now, though, it's up to Howard Hill to assess how this new mom is doing in her workouts.
"I work with her on speed, making sure her technique is good, her form is good, make sure she is doing speed drills correctly,'' said Howard Hill, the sprints coach at COC as well as coach at NAIA Masters College. "This just started about a month ago. I knew Alysia back in high school. I get an opportunity to go over her workout. I've always felt her first lap was a little too fast. If she backs off, she might be able to run 1:55, 1:56.''
Montano said, "Denean comes out now and then to help facilitate and keep a watchful eye on form and technique. I have known her for quite some time and love her energy and enthusiasm.''
Montano's personal best is 1:57.34 from 2010, the 10th-fastest time in U.S. history. The plan for her in 2015 is to race more and peak for the USATF Outdoor Championships, June 25-28, at Hayward Field in TrackTown USA, and earn a spot on the World Championships team for Beijing in August.
"My emphasis this outdoor season is to get comfortable racing again,'' she said. "Being out of racing for over a year (discounting her flamboyant performance at Sacramento in '14) … can be weird to get used to again, especially when I train alone. Returning to competition after pregnancy, I feel stronger. I have been through one of the hardest events in life, giving birth naturally, and it challenged me mentally and physically.''
Sandoval is enthusiastic about the new season.
"One thing with (Alysia)," he said. "She did have five years in a row where she trained intensely. By 2013, she was burned out with running. The year off certainly refreshes you. I tell you what, I'm really excited. She's excited. Louis is excited.''
And one day, Linnea will be amazed at what her crazy mommy did that June day in 2014, just before she came out from under that bright pink singlet and into the world.
John Crumpacker was a sportswriter for the San Francisco Examiner and San Francisco Chronicle for more than three decades. In that time he won seven national writing awards and covered 10 Olympic Games. He was president of the Track & Field Writers of America on two occasions.

Another victim of the financial sector crisis that has hit Ghana in recent months, Madam Akua Yeboah, a trader at the Kumasi Central Market, has shared her sad story about how her loss nearly led her to commit suicide.
Madam Yeboah was a customer of First Allied Savings and Loans. According to the hapless woman, her frustration stems from the fact that she has about GHC 120,000 locked up at First Allied.
Thepressradio reported that Madam Yeboah's money happens to be an accumulated contribution of market women belonging to a group called "Onuado Ladies Association".
As the leader for the group, it was agreed among members that the money should be kept in her care. The savings and loans company is so far finding it difficult to recoup the amount.

"The money was hidden in my house for some few days after which I considered the risk involved and decided to open an account and deposit it at First Allied Savings and Loans Limited," Madam Yeboah said.
Madam Akua Yeboah reportedly broke into tears amid her narration. She said she has been contemplating suicide if it turns out she never gets the money back.
She received report that first Allied Savings and Loans limited was collapsing in late 2018,
Management of the financial institution refused withdrawals of funds for customers, obviously to conserve liquidity.
Madam Yeboah said since the news of the supposed collapse of First Allied broke out, she has tried everything possible to withdraw the money "...so that I will hand it over to respective members of the association and vindicate myself off the false embezzlement allegation peddled against me"

She is under pressure from the members of her ladies' association to recoup the money. As a result of this, Madam Yeboah says she has been diagnosed with an extreme increment in her blood pressure.
There is no hope in sight although First Allied has issued numerous press statements saying they are working on giving back monies to customers.
Madam Akua Yeboah's story is one of many that have in the wake of banking crisis that have so far seen five banks go under government control.
Tens of thousands more have lost their jobs.

August 2015
New crop lentils and peas are now finding their way into growers bins across southern Saskatchewan. Across the province, it will be another 3 weeks before all pulses are harvested. During the final 3 weeks in August, our knowledge of quality and yields will grow exponentially. Here is what we know so far. Rain, wind, and hail that has been occurring at regular intervals has lowered initial harvest quality. We are seeing most lentils grade in the "lower end" of the #2 grade. This contrasts our harvest vision in July, where a hot dry growing season was expected to produce higher quality to make up for reduced yields. Today, farmers are reporting 10%-20% lower yields that expected, and poorer quality than hoped for. Markets are reacting early driving prices of red and green lentils to the highest end of the price spectrum. The question on everyones mind is how these prices will sustain themselves through the coming crop year. The current theory is that reds will sustain high prices through the fall, but have the potential to fade as we move into December as pipe-lines get filled and production from Australia and India becomes closer to reality. Green lentils, without competition, has the very real potential to continue appreciating as supply is rationed though the next 12 months. All energy will now shift to logistics for the remainder of the year and consideration of where these commodity prices should be in early 2016.
Have a great day.

If you don't already have an OPC-UA server – many HMI packages include them – Kepware Technologies has a demo version of their KEPServerEX available for download. Opto has tested KEPServerEX with groov and recommends it. This server supports a formidable number of protocols and devices.
More about groov 2: http://groov.com/groov-2-0

Any body can help me with groov 2 time limited demo version download link?
Thanks & Regards,
Milind Raval
Hi Milind,
We are all very excited about groov 2.0, but we have not yet got it live on the web.
Pretty sure it should happen some time today.
Keep an eye on this page;
Hi Ben,
when I fill out the email field, I get asked for a password, and I don't receive any email… what am I missing?
hi all
im in the same boat as pgaudillere here. i too filled out the forms (in 2 different browsers) and too came to the same problem. any ideas on where the email may have ended up?
Hi All
We have to fill our My.opto22 Login ID mail and PASSWORD there.
Milind Raval
The email with the link to download the demo is sent straight away.
If you dont see it pop up in your inbox, two things to check/try;
Lastly, yes, if you have a My.Opto22 account, you can log in with that, but you still may find the email get caught in your spam filter.
Hope that helps get you going.
Hi all,
OK, I got it I had to use my opto22 forum account login. Now I am stuck on the installation: The wizard is blocked on the "Setup is preparing to install groov Server for Windows on your computer", and nothing happens… Do I have to run the installer as administrator? My system is Windows 7 64bits.
best regards,
Hi pgaudillere,
My name is Matt and I am engineer here at Opto 22. I would first say try and run this installer as Administrator, in fact I believe this is required. If that doesn't seem to solve this issue. Let us know, we are glad to help.

2018 Program: Leadership for Racial Justice
Friday (11/09)
How do we ensure that the perspectives of communities of color and other other most impacted communities are shaping and driving the philanthropic change agenda, especially around racial justice?
This interactive session will engage participants to lift up both examples and messages of activists claiming power to transform philanthropy in advancing racial justice. It will share local and national level lessons from Changing the Conversation: Philanthropic Funding and Community Organizing in Detroit, PRE's Guide to Grantmaking with a Racial Justice Lens, NCRP's Power Moves, and more, with focus on trends and questions of funders moving from racial equity to racial justice and building, wielding, sharing - and importantly - yielding power, and what that truly means in grantmaking.
The outside/inside emphasis will seek to honestly examine the relationships and roles of effective organizing from the community/grantseeker side to disrupt, reform or reclaim resource flow and decision-making; advocacy, organizing and training from intermediary roles to change frames and build skills; and organizing, bridge-building or leading from within institutions to transform policies and practices. How can we play our roles most with impact and accountability?
The progressive movement stands divided. Some insist we mobilize the white working class, others the new American electorate—and both camps seem to regard these choices as mutually exclusive. This division is unnecessary and debilitating. The right builds popular support for politicians beholden to billionaires by using dog whistles to stoke anxiety around race—demonizing black lives, undocumented immigrants and Muslims. To counter this, progressives can and must speak simultaneously and forcefully to the connections between class and race. A robust conversation about race is critical to converting the aspiration of a "New American Majority" into an energized and cohesive force. The question is how to engage around race and class in ways that build solidarity, reduce division and scapegoating, and create a viable foundation for both electoral and policy victories. Therefore, Demos embarked on a narrative project In order to shift the tide of racially and economically divisive politics that strategically uses racism to divide the working class and poor so that a few can gain. We wanted to uncover a narrative that would help people envision a multiracial country in which everyone has economic opportunity. Our Integrated Race & Class Narrative Project started with the premise that we can rebut the right's faux populism and white nationalism with a potent new story. Join us to learn, discuss and practice strategies on how to unify constituencies across race and class in your electoral campaigns, grassroots organizing, media outreach, and legislative advocacy to mobilize a multiracial coalition and increase progressive governing power.
Your team is all about racial justice and racial equity. Ever wish you could do more to put them into practice in your day-to-day work? Ways to shift organizational culture, structure, program design, or governance? Then, this workshop is for you.
1. Collaborative Leadership for Racial Justice
We'll explore the importance of collaboration for guiding organizational change. We will introduce Facilitative Leadership for Social Change, a form of leadership that is about "inspiring and creating the conditions for self-empowerment so that people can work together to achieve a common goal." We will also introduce our Collaborative Change Framework, which is a simple way to begin mapping out your change effort.
2. Mapping the Territory: Eight Dimensions of Organizational Life
For each dimension listed below, you will explore critical questions, typical topics, and high-value resources to help shape your thinking and action. You'll also be able to share your favorite resources with other participants.
· Big Picture Analysis (vision, root cause analysis, strategy, worldview and theory of change)
· Program Design and Putting Constituents at the Center*
· Program Evaluation
· Storytelling (communications, fundraising)
· Organizational Culture
· Human Resources
· Governance
· Organizational Structure
Putting Constituents at the Center cuts across all of the dimensions.
3. Making the Case for Change.
We'll introduce a four-step process for making a powerful case for change within your organization.
We'll encourage you to commit to specific next steps to continue advancing racial justice and racial equity in and through your organization.
This workshop analyzes the systematic structure of ableism through a person of color living with a disability lens. Participants are given the opportunity to explore solutions on how to address these systematic structures. Our goal is to create a community of people who are interested in advocating for others who face discrimination as a differently abled person and ethnically/racially different. The session will begin with introductions of people who hold different identities and how they are treated in the greater society. For example, an undocumented disabled Latino girl, a black young adult living with mental illness, an Arab Muslim woman living with disability and a woman who uses a wheelchair.
Participants will come up with a list of ways in which society may see those in these marginalized communities. Following this brainstorming activity, participants will be broken up into smaller groups and be given different real-life scenarios of what a marginalized person may face holding a certain identity, like those listed above and how this individual is viewed/held back in the real world. This blurb, along with a copy of the ADA papers, will be used as a guide to come up with one or more solutions on how to address such a challenge. This workshop will finish off with the sharing of real-life results of these challenges and those involved, and what steps were taken to overcome the obstacles placed in the way. There will be time for Q&A at the end of workshop.
How do I get my local government to incorporate racial equity across all departments? Where should the initiative be housed? There is frequently resistance to new initiatives and sometimes racial equity work is treated like an extraneous "add on." Shrinking budgets, increasing mandates, and broad service areas add to the challenge of doing racial equity work systemically.
When the County of Monterey's public works division faced a state review for compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, they turned to the County's Equal Opportunity Officer for assistance. Utilizing racial equity principles, an inside/outside approach, and existing County structure, the team took advantage of the "open window" to develop a Title VI Plan for all of Monterey County, revise nondiscrimination policies, and rename the Equal Opportunity Office to the Civil Rights Office. The new identity gave us reason to work collaboratively with the community and an opportunity to work with all 26 County departments on some basic racial equity principles. The community gained a plan that they can lean on when they do not think we are working to engage them equitably and that helped developed new relationships with County staff.
In this session, we will work with participants to develop a wish list related to racial equity in their community. Utilizing our experience in Monterey County and broad knowledge of County functions plus the expertise of those gathered, we will identify potential windows of opportunity to incorporate wish list items into existing programs, plans, and compliance structures.
Racial equity has been en vogue in philanthropy for several years. However, recent research shows that the philanthropic landscape continues to be inequitable, with less dollars flowing to African/Black, Latinx, Asian/Pacific Islander, Arab/Middle Eastern, and Native American-led, community-based organizations than to White-led, Eurocentric institutions. Knowing that systemic change is neither quick nor easy, how can both grantmakers and grantseekers better understand the entrenched inequities in the philanthropic sector, and make commitments to help course correct in our current cultural moment? This interactive workshop will provide attendees with the opportunity to workshop solutions with philanthropic practitioners. Questions to be explored include: How is it that philanthropy is talking so much about racial equity (e.g. recent "ALAANA" and "DEI" initiatives) while the funding landscape is actually getting more inequitable? What strategies exist to address how philanthropic frameworks (and their resulting practices) perpetuate racial inequities within/through philanthropy? Grantmakers and grantseekers alike will leave this session with an understanding of current racial equity initiatives in philanthropy, barriers to and opportunities for change, and skills and strategies for interrupting inequitable practices and promoting equity in/through philanthropy.
By collectively mapping the emergence of systemic racism, this session will explore the different ways that racism stunts the humanity of all people and challenge participants to engage with the limitations of ally and privilege based antiracist organizing. We will explore what it means to see ourselves engaged in a struggle for co-liberation and explore how visionary organizing can provide strategies to guide that struggle. To deepen this exploration, participants will be introduced to two strategic/theoretical frames for movement building: what it means for the anti-racist struggle to move beyond ally-ship toward co-liberation; and the concept of visionary organizing, which addresses the current ecological, economic, and political crises through a praxis grounded in people and communities developing the skills and processes needed to envision and to create a new more humane system.
Within Our Lifetime is a national network of more than 125 organizations focused on Creating a sense of movement, Building the field, Connecting the dots, Sharing and deepening knowledge, and Bringing the heat and power - and of course, ending racism within our lifetime. Over the past 3 years, we have interviewed frontline organizers who have navigated racial disasters in 10 key cities in the US. We paired their findings with high-level movement theory and applied the results to our work in Charlottesville (summer 2017). The resulting best practices were released in a report in March 2018, and have been iterated for the past 9 months by our Community of Practice - this workshop is the result.
We offer specific and concrete tools for local organizers who are preparing their city in advance of or directly responding to a racial disaster. This workshop has resources for national organizers and organizations who are interested in supporting local or regional folks responding to crises of racialized violence. There will also be space for funders and major donors to engage in conversation around best practices that have emerged. While it is not necessary to have read the report or visited the website MovementMicCheck.org, we will move quickly through the basic concepts in order to arrive at the most relevant recent learning. Expect to leave with tools in your pocket, new comrades, and many more questions.
Our fights against white supremacy seem to always be grounded in a fight over the control of wealth, who gets to produce it, and who gets to use it. Yet, by and large, our social justice movements typically accept the rules of our economic system as an unchangeable given, as if we expect capitalism to live forever. We critique it, but limit ourselves to "realistic" campaigns that can win concessions from capitalists or the agencies that regulate them. On occasion we develop movements that seek to build power yet replicate the same economic model that disempowers and creates poverty in the first place, changing some of the faces but leaving the system intact. But what would it look like if we actually built the economy of our dreams? How do we even start?
We offer up worker cooperatives (businesses owned and controlled by the people who work in them) as one place to start.
In this workshop we'll explore the contrasting assumptions of ownership in cooperatives vs capitalism and their implications for social justice movements. We'll take a deep dive into the powerful ecosystem in NYC that has successfully moved over $8 million in City funds towards worker co-op development over the past 4 years, producing over 100 worker co-ops. And after all of that, you'll get a chance to put our work on the hot seat and pick, prod, and poke holes so that we can all learn and build a new economy together.
Leaders from Detroit and Los Angeles will discuss ways to address the nonprofit racial leadership gap. In 2017, the Building Movement Project released a report, Race to Lead: Confronting the Nonprofit Racial Leadership Gap, that challenged prevailing narratives for why there are so few leaders of color in the nonprofit sector. Rather than the conventional deficit model — that People of Color were unable or unwilling to take on top leadership — the results from over 4,000 nonprofit respondents showed People of Color and whites had similar qualifications and that People of Color were more likely to aspire to lead nonprofit organizations. Respondents also reported that structural barriers, from white boards to biased executive recruiters to funders, prevent People of Color from advancing to executive leadership jobs. During this session, we will present survey results including national data, data on the LGBTQ and California subsamples, and a new analysis of the data by race and gender. Two presenters from the Detroit area and Los Angeles, will briefly share their observations of the nonprofit racial leadership landscape and actions they are taking to change the narrative and to address the real barriers: racialized biases in the sector. In structured and highly interactive small groups, audience members will be learn from the presenters and their peers about practical ways of changing the narrative and taking concrete steps to address the nonprofit racial leadership gap. These will be captured and presented back to the full group.
In this interactive workshop, we invite participants to reflect on this key question: How do we create and sustain racial equity systems change work within metro areas? We use the model of a cross-sector political coalition as one strategy to advance racial equity within institutions. First, we explore how to build a case about how structural racism negatively impacts entire metro areas, including populations and spaces that are predominantly white and/or affluent. We share research from Chicago's Cost of Segregation project that demonstrates the negative impact to all. Participants complete a short exercise about the Cost of Inequity for all. Next, we brainstorm together why metro-area context –such as political history and fiscal realities—matters for how to organize cross-sector political coalitions. Participants engage in a reflective exercise to sketch their metro context, identify institutional leaders, and make connections across sectors. Next, we explore the construct of targeted universalism, watch a three-minute film from the Haas Institute, and explain its value in messaging. Next, participants identify policy areas and related recommendations in order to spell out what an agenda of racial equity could look like in their metro area. Here, we share examples from our work in Chicago. Finally, we conclude with a planning exercise that encourages participants to spell out for themselves future learning and action. In our conclusion, we invite participants to make connections within their local work to a broader global movement to advance racial equity through cross-sector political coalition building within metro areas.
Saturday (11/10)
Many organizations profess a commitment to racial justice, but struggle to enact that commitment in concrete, practical ways. Internal conversations about race can be uncomfortable - even in social justice nonprofits that primarily work with clients of color. How can groups that are not yet "racial justice organizations" gain momentum to transform their internal practices, partnerships, and cultures to better support staff of color and people of color-led movements for justice? In this workshop, attorneys from the Community Development Project, a nonprofit legal services provider in New York City, will describe their struggles to shift CDP from a majority-white social justice nonprofit to a majority-people of color entity with racial justice at the core of its mission. We will discuss the core areas of our recent organizational transformation, share concrete strategies, and work with participants to develop action plans to begin to dismantle racial hierarchy within their own organizations. Moving beyond principle to everyday practice, we will acknowledge the sacrifice and struggle that such transformations require, sharing honestly what worked and what didn't in a frank conversation about our triumphs and pitfalls.
Participants will be invited to reflect on their organization's internal practices related to hiring and leadership; external practices, including substance of the work, clients and partners; and the culture that defines each organization. We'll share practical tools and ideas to begin the process of transformation in each of these areas, arming participants with concrete strategies that are needed to advance a vision for racial justice day to day.
Too often, institutional policies and programs ¬— no matter private, public, or nonprofit institutions — are developed and implemented without thoughtful consideration of how they could create or perpetuate disparities in health, education, economic, and other outcomes for communities of color. When racial equity is not explicitly brought into operations and decision-making, racial disparities are likely to be perpetuated and different groups of people will continue to have unequal access to resources and opportunities. Racial equity analysis must be explicitly conducted and integrated in decisions by nonprofits, foundations, and local governments, including in their policies, practices, programs, and budgets. It is both a product and a process. During this session, presenters from the Government Alliance for Racial Equity and Community Science will give an overview about a racial equity tool designed to help people interested in dismantling the structures, policies, and practices that create or perpetuate disparities, go through a systematic process of determining how to assess and identify the institutional changes required for the desired community outcomes. Participants will also learn how to distinguish and develop performance and outcome measures that will help them track and evaluate their progress and stay on course. This session will combine mini-lecture with experiential, small-group exercise using common scenarios of situations in different institutional settings. Following the exercise, presenters and participants will engage in a discussion about the usefulness of the tool and how it can be improved for use by decision-makers in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors.
Boards and commissions are a great exercise in democracy. However, oftentimes commissioners lack a racial equity lens to make the decisions that will benefit vulnerable communities. The lived experiences of people of color and low-income people are not reflected on these decision-making bodies, leaving out large swaths of our communities. In this session, participants will learn about the Boards and Commissions Leadership Institute (BCLI), a strategy started by Urban Habitat to advance an equity agenda in the Bay Area (California). The BCLI recruits, trains, and supports people of color and low-income people to serve on boards and commissions. BCLI alumni gain a deeper understanding of racial systemic inequities, and have access to a toolkit of equitable policies, as well as resource experts to turn to, and a tight network of other advocate commissioners. The strategy has been replicated in nine other cities across the country. Participants will hear from replication partners on how they have utilized the BCLI to advance their campaign goals, address racial inequity, and how they have applied the BCLI to build out their leadership pipeline. Participants will hear case studies of successful campaigns or of regions that are beginning to integrate racially equitable policies where the BCLI was instrumental in advancing an issue, and they will walk away with tools to help them assess if the BCLI is the right strategy for their organization.
A creativity workshop to enhance awareness of the Detroit and Global water crisis. Participants will be led in five interactive exercises, including Water Rights, Water Infrastructure, Water disconnection practices and Solutions for Sustainability. Participants will then be asked to work in small groups of 4-6ppl and create solutions for their assigned area of interest. Finally, participants will describe written solutions in detail on a prescribed wall poster board.
The non-profit sector faces a specific set of challenges in advancing racial equity in the workplace. Those challenges are rooted in a field that, historically, was founded upon the premise that philanthropy and "good will" of White people could help cure all societal ills. That founding fostered an environment where racist ideologies were normalized and allowed systemic inequities to become standardized. The arts sector, widely thought of as liberal, faces even more complex challenges as progressive thinking is often paired with regressive practices. Enter women of color into the non-profit workforce. As of late, women of color have been heralded for their ability to reactivate consciousness and change the field. And while they are often championed for their inventiveness, experience and multi-layered perspectives, they are also often driven into professional corners where their unique points of view can become occupational deficits. Cultivating a racially inclusive field with women of color in leadership positions is more than opening doors, it's about fostering an environment of support where equitable practices don't come in the form of diversity initiatives but concrete changes in systems. Until that day comes, women of color continually manage to find ways to support one another to foster broader leadership and ensure a field filled with diverse voices. Hear how women of color encourage wider access for more people and communities of color in the arts, and work to create equitable systems for all to prosper inside and outside of the field.
This session will be an open conversation about how people engage in solidarity practice, and the components and elements that they would like to see in a curriculum and workshop emphasizing solidarity. We will be gathering input and ideas for a solidarity practice curriculum tailored towards young people.
Anishinaabe Aki is occupied by a colonial state called Michigan. Anishinaabe Aki is home to the Three Fires - Ojibway, Odawa & Potawatomi people. Michigan is the most segregated state in the United States. Native American and Métis communities are made to be hypervisible in the dialogue on race in Michigan. In our panel discussion, we will look beyond the Black and White racial binary to center Anishinaabe people in racial justice. How can we decolonize anti-racism and start to center Anishinaabe and other Native American people?
Carmen Lane, Cecelia LaPointe, Renard Monczunski, and Teiana McGahey all exist as Native people of mixed heritage. We engage in work to decolonize and heal across occupied lands. In order to bring the greatest justice and healing to our communities we need the participation of settlers and settlers of color to work on changing the current racial justice narrative with us.
FOCS will lead dialogue and provide roadmaps how to grow your organization's brand, mobilize parents and family engagement through grass roots organizing centering Brown and Black leadership, while becoming a valued stakeholder who is invited to the table in city hall and foundations. We share values in blurring the lines of public and private school education equity, how to equip preschools with anti-bias curricula, while organizing woke families of color by showing up in resistance at rallies with babies in carriers.
We cover curricula how to equip parents to talk about racial identity, anti-Blackness, intersectionality and white supremacy with their
children of color and start this work in the home.
Workshop Objectives:
• Build community by creating dialogue and toolkits for
undoing racism in racial affinity parent groups and cultural arts.
• Help amplify voices of color for equity, visibility and strategies to close
the opportunity gap for children of color in education and reproductive and disability justice.
• Identify curricula for anti-bias education
• Organizing tools for families of color engagement
* Learn how organize with economic impact for teachers, artists and parents
* How to partner with schools and community based organizations
* Collective and radical fundraising through social media and WOC power.
Toni Anderson and Olatunji Oboi Reed will present an interactive workshop entitled "The Community Power Matrix: Harnessing Power to Achieve Racial Equity". The workshop will explore the necessary strategies to facilitate a full suite of burn/build and inside/outside strategies, designed to disrupt patriarchal leadership by shifting to collaborative, decentralized power sharing. The workshop will explore the necessary strategies to achieve freedom for people of color, moving from top down policymaking, to bottom up policymaking, to full collaboration. The workshop will also explore the intersection of urban renewal/gentrification and the serial displacement/redlining of low- to moderate-income, communities of color.
Participants will explore necessary strategies to enforce a shift from intrusive, paternalistic governance of community place to a collective, equitable eco-social system where the most vulnerable benefit the most from urban development.
The 'CPM' workshop will posit the triad of necessity stemming from community divestment and inequitable development are:
• The proper defining of equitable planning.
• The role of culture, history and expression in facilitating a community engagement process which is centered at the neighborhood level, meets the specific needs of neighborhood residents and reflects an approach, rooted in culturally relevant axiology.
• The role of public health as a rubric for the prioritization of placemaking and economic development in marginalized communities.
Participants will be given the tools to implement strategies that identify and harness power from grassroots, bottom-up movements and top-down initiatives that require either collective benefits agreements or total disruptions that drain and redistribute resources.
GARE's focus is on normalizing conversations about race, operationalizing new behaviors and policies, and organizing to achieve racial equity. GARE is seeing more and more jurisdictions that are making a commitment to achieving racial equity, focusing on the power and influence of their own institutions, and working in partnership across sectors and with the community to maximize impact.
When government prioritizes racial equity, relationships with community shift to authentic engagement and the sharing of power. This workshop will highlight the experiences of jurisdictions that have been recipients of the Innovation and Implementation fund, working with community to eliminate structural racism.
There is an increasingly strong field of practice. We are organizing in government with the belief that the transformation of government is essential for us to advance racial equity and is critical to our success as a nation.

I was told I also have sleep apnea and I must wear a mask at night to keep the PH from getting worse. The sleep study showed my heart had to work too hard when my oxygen went down.

Alert the Beyhive. Just weeks after LEMONADE shook the world like a hurricane, Beyoncé has come through with the official merch collection from the visual album. The range, now available on Bey's webstore, is composed of graphic tees for $35; a "LEMONADE" sweatshirt for $60; a slogan tank top for $40; embroidered dad caps for $36; and iPhone cases emblazoned with "BOY BYE," which range from $25 to $27.
If you've been paying attention, you know that shortly after the project debuted, many people tried to profit off the buzz by selling items inspired by the album's lyrics. You, or someone you know, may have even copped one; however, there's nothing like the official, Beyoncé-approved merch.

I like to say, "You can make plans, but you can't plan the outcome!" Yep. That exactly describes my personal adventure during the Great American Eclipse of 2017.
Not to say things didn't work out well—the trip to Sweetwater, Tennessee from my new home in Merritt Island, Florida, was flawless. And the companionship of the love of my life, Anita Friend, was exceptional as always.
It was my photography that I flubbed up, even after months of thought and even some trial runs of my equipment. During that two minutes and thirty-seven seconds of totality I quickly had one camera malfunction and another on the wrong settings—and it sent me scrambling.
With globs of sweat dripping off my head, blinding my eyesight and the heat making me a little dizzy, I simply pulled away from the photo gear, stood by Anita, and recorded the total eclipse into my memory as I looked up and then around at the magnificent, Moon shadow landscape that I'll be lucky to ever see again.
Those memories of the dark eye staring down out of the white streamers surrounding it and the eerie orange light that permeated the horizon and put a waxy sheen over everything are etched in my brain.
Driving after the eclipse in the mother of all traffic jams, I kept replaying that brief two and a half minutes of totality, mulling what went wrong with the camera and why I had the wrong exposure setting on another. I kept ruminating about the flubbed photos I didn't take. I didn't think I got any good photos of the totality phase, but I knew I worked hard to get some good partial eclipse images as the Moon gobbled up several groups of beautiful sunspots.
I kept beating myself up. The moment of total eclipse went so fast. When my old Nikon D-100 camera body misfired, whatever it was, I had no time to figure it out. There went the 600 mm telephoto shots of the solar corona that everyone else has. I was warned to not be obsessed with photography, the old axiom from solar eclipse veterans being "Every eclipse lasts 8 seconds."
Still, I had etched in my mind that beautiful scene I've never experienced…the black iris of the Moon and cottony streamers of the Sun's atmosphere; the planets Jupiter to the left and Venus to the right.
As for my mental impression of the Great American Eclipse: surreal. About five minutes before totality the insects in a nearby cornfield began chirping, the cicadas, crickets and katydids beginning a cacophony that would only end after the total phase was over for another five minutes. And the temperature dropped from the blazing heat at least 10 degrees.
The darkness wasn't like night, in fact it was easy to see people and the landscape. For me, it was like being inside a circus tent with darkness overhead and the perimeter flaps open to the ground allowing an orange glow of light to enter.
Staring down from the hot, summer afternoon sky was a black hole surrounded by a shimmering pearl mane. For once in my five-decade writing career, I'm nearly lost for the right words to convey the spectacle that is a total eclipse of the Sun.
Incredible. Magnificent. Enchanting. Awesome.
I wasn't sure about my own photography of the event. But when I got to my vacation destination and downloaded four cameras worth of images from the solar eclipse day, I soon realized that though I didn't get what I expected, what I did record is okay with me.
In fact, the disaster with my main eclipse camera has turned out to be something unique. It's an image that could be inspired by the abstract artists Dali, Klee or Warhol. In fact, it is my Picasso of the event, a sort of "Eqlipse." After beating myself up for screwing up, I'm quite pleased with the unpredictable outcome.
Calling it "Cats Eye Eqlipse," what my Nikon CCD sensor recorded was at least six images that create a black pupil surrounded by circular ellipses. The fuzzy, white corona is surrounding the abstract solar totality, and on the right side is stringy, red light from an erupting prominence on the solar edge.
Though not what I wanted, I'll take it! The bizarre "Cat's Eye Eqlipse" aside, I'm pleased with my images of the partial phases that highlight in close-ups the beautiful sunspots. You can see them on my Facebook at MarQ Camera Art Studio.
The Sun, our favorite star, never disappoints. And when teamed up with the Moon…it's beyond words. Let the thousands of images of the Great American Eclipse speak to you in a way only you understand. And be in awe of the simple power of nature in our celestial backyard.

This is the sequel to this post. Enjoy – and please share your favorites in the comments!
1. William Faulkner – I was absolutely blown away when I read The Sound and the Fury in college. It was literally the most inspiring thing I had ever read. Of course, the first few times I read it, none of the plot made sense, but I was so fascinated by the characters that I read it a few more times. When it all came together, it was amazing. Sanctuary and Absalom, Absalom! are also quite lovely.
2. Kathleen E. Woodiwiss – I always thought I hated romance novels until I read Ashes in the Wind, which is definitely not your run-of-the-mill romance. I love its depth of character, historical accuracy, and intriguing plot. Unlike other romance authors, Woodiwiss creates very different heroes and heroines – they don't feel like they came from the same mold.
3. Sylvia Plath – In high school, I read The Bell Jar, "Daddy," "Ariel," and a bunch of other works by Plath, but it wasn't until college that I really started to study her works. Usually, I don't like reading a whole anthology of one poet's works, but Plath's poetry sucked me in. She creates beautiful images and with great depth of symbolism.
There are so many other deceased authors I admire… perhaps I'll do a third blog in this "series."

First thing's first, for the next time it'd be great if you enabled advanced combat logging (found in systems – network). Since it wasn't for those kills I can't check things like talent choices, gear, mana usage etc.
– You are casting healing surges more than healing waves which will drain your mana very fast. Unless you have the legendary bracers I'd only use healing surges if you need it to save someone from dying, otherwise healing wave is preferred since it heals at base for the same amount and when used with tidal waves charges (as it should be) it is just as fast.
Out of curiosity, is there a reason you single target heal only? You're enchanted and gemmed for crit which favours a chain heal centric build and yet you cast very few chain heals. You might find it useful to read through the talent and stat priority sections found in the legion hub at the top of the page.
I'd also suggest swapping your neck enchant to Mark of the Trained Soldier. The Ancient Priestess one is not very useful to us resto shamans.

Stained by dishonor
Henrico student launches growing effort to remove segregationist's name from school
Joey Matthews | 2/12/2016, 4:26 p.m.
Jordan Chapman said her jaw dropped in incredulous disbelief the day she learned in her Hermitage High School history class about the late Harry F. Byrd Sr., the former Virginia governor, U.S. senator and avowed white separatist for whom H.F. Byrd Middle School in Henrico County is named.
"I learned that a school right down the street from where I live was named after a man who tried to keep schools segregated by shutting them down across the state," Jordan, a 17-year-old senior, said during an interview Saturday at her Western Henrico County home.
There, she and four adults gathered to discuss with the Free Press their campaign — started by Jordan last fall — to have Henrico Public Schools rename the middle school at 9400 Quioccasin Road to rid it of the racist legacy of Mr. Byrd.
As a U.S. senator, Mr. Byrd was one of the chief architects of "Massive Resistance," the fiercely backed, state-sanctioned policy to ignore the 1954 landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education ordering the desegregation of public schools because of inequities. Mr. Byrd met with members of the General Assembly to design the strategy to enact laws and policies that led to the closure of many public schools in Virginia between 1958 and 1964 rather than integrate.
Thousands of African-American children were denied a public education during that time, while state money was funneled to all-white private schools to support the education of many white students in places where the schools were closed.
During the next few years, state and federal courts eventually overturned most of the laws that fueled Massive Resistance, but aspects of the campaign against integrated schools in Virginia continued for decades.
"Why would you name a school for somebody who tried to stop some people from being educated?" Jordan recalled thinking.
The more she learned about Mr. Byrd's efforts to deny public education opportunities to black children, the more she recoiled at the middle school's name.
"It's a moral issue to me," she said. "It's hard for me to believe that a school would honor someone like him. I think it's time to change the name," she said.
As an alternative, she offered the name Oliver Hill Middle School to honor the late trailblazing Richmond civil rights attorney who won numerous legal battles at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. He also was among the lawyers representing plaintiffs in the Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County, the Virginia case that was heard with the Brown v. Board of Education case.
"It's amazing to me," Jordan added, "that a school would not want to be welcoming to all of its students" by having that name.
According to Henrico Public Schools spokesperson Andrew Jenks, 20.3 percent, or 203 of Byrd Middle School's 999 students, are African-American.
Jordan, who lives about a 5-minute drive from Byrd, explained that she was zoned to attend Byrd, but instead attended the International Baccalaureate program at Moody Middle School.

Banana oat pancakes
These pancakes have become my new favourite breakfast choice. They are quick to make, wheat and gluten free, and because of the oats, seem to keep me full until way past lunchtime. I already had the little sachets of instant oats in my store cupboard as I find them so useful to tuck in your bag when off to work, where I would totally be tempted by a butter overloaded pastry or croissant. You will need:- 1 sachet instant oats 1 ripe banana 2 tbsp. runny honey 1 large egg 1 tbsp. natural yoghurt 1/2 tsp baking powder Sunflower...Read More

About Him
Living… in Boston, with his mother. They first lived in Cliff's childhood two-story house, but that was bulldozed after his mother sold it to a convenience-store builder. After that they moved to a condominium, where he crashed on a sofabed. Cliff's living situation is a constant source of amusement for (and disdain from) his cohorts at Cheers, his local tavern and second home.
Profession… postal worker. Cliff brings a great deal of pride and self-importance to his job and becomes annoyed anytime someone slights it. He likens it to being part of the police force and sees himself as an integral, irreplaceable part of the nation's fabric. It's an honest, blue-collar living, in stark contrast to his father's enterprises as a fraudster constantly running into trouble.
Interests... trivia. Cliff either has or feigns expertise on almost any subject, annoying most everyone around him with his windbaggery. The real test of his knowledge came when he got onto Jeopardy!, amassing a dominating lead before losing it all in Final Jeopardy. He was practically guaranteed a win, but his hubris got the best of him as he wagered – and lost – everything.
Relationship Status... unlucky in love. Cliff carried a torch for Diane, the erudite waitress and sometime girlfriend of Cheers owner Sam Malone, until Cliff made a pass and was thoroughly rejected and kicked out of his own car. He's had a few short-lived relationships, the most prominent being with fellow postal worker Margaret O'Keefe. Margaret complimented his eccentricities perfectly and revealed Cliff's deeper side. When she became pregnant with another man's child, he was willing to stay by her side as a stepfather, until she eventually returned to the child's biological father.
Challenge… gaining the respect of others. Cliff is always trying to impress the patrons of Cheers with his storehouse of useless trivia, but he mostly ends up annoying them. He is completely transparent in his attempts to shoe-horn irrelevant factoids into on-going conversations, to the point where even the staff insults him. He's socially awkward and generally ignored by women. Nothing ever fully works out for Cliff, but he keeps trying.
Personality... know-it-all. Cliff talks a big game, yet rarely delivers when under pressure. He is obsessed with how he's perceived and desperately wants the approval of others. It's hard to take him seriously because of how badly he wants to be taken seriously. He's the resident butt-of-jokes because it's almost too easy to make fun of him, with his living situation and lack of sex life. But if Cliff suddenly vacated his Cheers barstool, even his most bitter antagonists (hello, Carla Tortelli) would quickly discover that they miss him. Cliffie just kind of grows on you.
