I swung by the Fillmore Street location this weekend to check out the latest goodies from Nars, and left with a new eye look that I never would have tried on my own.
This fall Nars is introducing two new Larger than Life Longwear liners, four shadows, two polishes, brow gels AND brow pencils. I asked my artist Laura to introduce me to a new daytime and office appropriate look using the new colors. This is what we came up with:
Laura took a yellow gold (say WHAT?!?!) liner, Las Ramblas and lined my lower lid. Not inside the water mark, but under the lashes. This created a bright and awake look when worn alone… but I was still a bit hesitant. Then, with a flat concealer brush, she patted a beautiful teal shimmer shadow called Bavaria over the gold liner. On my lids she swept a light wash of Bavaria, and then added depth along the brow bone with Yamal; a very gray putty color. To polish off the look Laura added a coppery-brown liner to the outside corners call Via De' Martelli. This was such a unique and fun look for me, but not so over the top that I have worn it to work already! To play it up at night I would deepen the Bavaria and the liner… maybe even go for a winged look.

A lighted On/Off switch with locking cover eliminates accidental shut-off, while allowing you to see at a glance whether the unit is operational. A built-in, 20-amp circuit breaker prevents dangerous circuit overloads that could damage equipment. The breaker immediately shuts off AC input when it detects that the equipment load is drawing too much power.

The Mimosa Rocks walking track is in the northern section of the park, it's an easy walk so a great one for children, plus it is wheelchair accessible.
Start your walk at Aragunnu carpark – there's a well-defined track linking the section's two picnic areas. Follow this short track then continue north another 250m on a paved path and boardwalk.
The boardwalk crosses over the largest Aboriginal midden in the park – take your time to read about the history and significance of the area along the way.
At the boardwalk's end, you'll be rewarded with dramatic views over the rocks from the lookout. Keep an eye out for the large pyramid-shaped rock – beneath it rests the shipwrecked Mimosa, a paddle steamer that ran aground in 1863, and after which the park is named.

Minardi history
The surroundings of the Hungaroring pit lane, in late August
2003, may have been a little unusual, but the method of
celebration was traditional, involving the pouring of champagne,
the cutting of an artistically decorated cake and the organising
of a team photograph. That was how Minardi marked its 300th Grand
Prix - another milestone in the history of the Faenza-based team,
whose name has become synonymous during its years in Formula One
with tenacity and opportunity.
Founded by Gian Carlo Minardi in 1979, with the aim of competing in the European Formula Two Championship, the Minardi Team made its Formula One debut in 1985. After spending its first few seasons in motorsports top category acclimatising to the demands of Grand Prix racing, the team took its first World Championship point in 1988, with the 6th place of Pierluigi Martini in Detroit (USA), then in 1989, scoring in Great Britain (fifth and sixth places), Portugal (fifth) and Australia (sixth).
Minardi's best season to date was 1991, when its effective, Ferrari-powered chassis helped the team to claim seventh place in the final standings of the World Constructors' Championship. In 1992, Minardi switched from Ferrari power to the Lamborghini V12. A sixth-place finish at the Japanese Grand Prix provided the team with a point for its efforts during the season.
The 1993 car was designed under the supervision of experienced Austrian, Gustav Brunner, and the chassis proved to be highly effective, fourth place in South Africa, fifth in Monaco, and sixth at Donington and Imola propelling Minardi to eighth place in the Constructors' Championship.
During 1994 and 1995, Minardi entered into a joint-venture with Scuderia Italia. Unfortunately, a series of commercial difficulties jeopardised the team's future and, by the end of 1996, an alliance formed by Gabriele Rumi and Flavio Briatore acquired a majority stake in the company.
The 1998 season marked a turning point for Minardi. Briatore severing his ties with the company and his shareholding being acquired by Gabriele Rumi. The successful Italian businessman, who headed up the Fondmetal group of companies, thus became the majority shareholder in the team and embarked on an extensive restructuring and upgrading programme. As a result, Minardi was joined by new, highly skilled personnel on the technical side, with Gustav Brunner making a return to Faenza.
In 1999, the Minardi personnel line-up was further strengthened by the arrival of Cesare Fiorio as Team Manager and Sporting Director. As in 1998, the Faenza-based team was ranked 10th in the final World Championship standings, in this case, courtesy of a very valuable point scored at the European Grand Prix by F1 "rookie", Marc Gené. One of the most satisfying aspects of the 1999 season was the excellent reliability of the M01, which helped its drivers to 10 top-10 finishes.
The 2000 campaign marked Minardi's 16th year in Formula One, and although the team did not succeed in scoring any points during the course of the season, it retained its tenth-place ranking in the World Championship, finishing ahead of the notably better-funded Prost squad.
In 2005 the Minardi F1 Team was acquired by Red Bull and now, in 2006, the new Minardi Team by GP Racing is going to start a new adventure in Euroseris 3000.

T-Bone is a member of the Dino Vengers, an intergalactic military unit selected to hunt down The Raptors. They come from a far away planet inhabited by anthropomorphic dinosaurs self-described as 'soft skin' (different origins than their Extreme Dinosaurs counterparts). They were genetically augmented to be tougher, to complete their mission, and wound up stranded on Earth as were the Raptors.
- Unlike their later Extreme Dinosaur counterparts, T-Bone and the rest were actually aliens as opposed to being dinosaurs that were 'evolved' into more humanoid figures.

|Peter Paul Rubens
known for paintings of vast scale, brilliant colors, and emotional intensity
Peter Paul Rubens, self-portrait, 1628
Peter Paul Rubens was born in Siegen, Germany, on June 28, 1577. After his father died in 1587, his mother returned with her children to her native city of Antwerp. There, Rubens studied under local painters. In 1600 he moved to Italy, where he was employed as a painter by Vincenzo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. In 1603, the Duke sent Rubens to Spain as a member of a diplomatic mission. After returning to Italy, he continued his painting and art studies.
Returning to Antwerp in 1608, Rubens was offered several important commissions for paintings. In 1609, he married Isabella Brant, a member of a prominent Antwerp family, with whom he had three children. That same year, Rubens became court painter to the Brussels court of Archduke Albert and the Infanta Isabella. Rubens' fame as a painter soon spread, and noblemen and women throughout Europe sought his services. He also received many commissions from churches.
Isabella Brant, by Rubens, 1625-26,
on display at the Uffizi Gallery
After his wife died in 1626, Rubens accepted diplomatic assignments involving peace negotiations between England and Spain. His assignments took him to Madrid in 1628 and to London in 1629, where King Charles I of England knighted him for his skill in diplomacy.
Rubens married again in 1630 and gradually withdrew from political life. His second wife was Hélène Fourment, a 16-year-old member of another prominent Antwerp family. Rubens painted her many times, and the couple had five children together. After 1635, Rubens spent much time at his country estate near Brussels, where he painted many of his most beautiful landscape scenes.
Peter Paul Rubens died in Antwerp on May 30, 1640.
His Art
To carry out his commissions for large-scale works, Rubens trained several young artists to be his assistants. His procedure was to set up the canvas, draw in preliminary outlines, sketch in the various figures, and design the color schemes. Much of the actual painting was done by his assistants, but Rubens usually completed the works himself. He never claimed any of his assistants' pictures as his own unless he had retouched them thoroughly. One of his most famous assistants was the Flemish artist Anton Van Dyck.
The most important influence on Rubens' style was the ancient Roman sculpture he studied in Italy. He was also influenced by the paintings and sculptures of such Italian Renaissance artists as Michelangelo, Raphael, Tintoretto, Titian, and Paolo Veronese. Among the artists of his own time, Rubens especially admired Michelangelo Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci.
Rubens' paintings are known for their vast scale, brilliant colors, and emotional intensity. He completed an enormous number of works. In one commission during the 1620's alone, he painted 24 large pictures on the life of Marie de Médicis, the widow of King Henry IV of France. From 1630 to 1635, he painted nine huge canvases for the Banqueting House at Whitehall in London. In the mid-1630's, he organized the artists of Antwerp to decorate structures in the city according to his designs to celebrate the visit of a new Spanish governor.

Rubens' subjects include hunting scenes, Biblical episodes, stories from classical mythology, portraits and self-portraits, and landscapes.

Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell said the move by him and Shelby County Sheriff Bill Oldham and Juvenile Court Judge Dan Michael to end a 5-year-old memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Justice Department over conditions at Juvenile Court indicated "significant progress," but not that all of the problems at Juvenile Court are resolved.
Mark Luttrell
Luttrell spoke Monday, June 19, for the first time since the June 9 letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was sent by the trio of elected officials.
"We have made some progress – we've made significant progress. Have we got 100 percent compliance? No we haven't," Luttrell said. "We've never said we were 100 percent in compliance. We've said we are moving in that direction. The memorandum of agreement does not require 100 percent compliance."
Luttrell said if Sessions were to grant the request, there would still be Justice Department review but not with the specific milestones enforced by the memorandum agreed to by all sides in 2012. The goal is "a reasonable understanding," he said.
Luttrell expects there will be discussion of the request by Shelby County commissioners during Wednesday committee sessions.
The call comes two months after the Justice Department agreed to drop 17 areas in the agreement, leaving only three – due process problems, equal protection claims specifically around disproportionate contact with black children by the juvenile court system and protecting children from harm while they are in juvenile custody. Those three areas have been where court monitors and critics of Juvenile Court on the Shelby County Commission have continued to express the most concern.
The call for an end to the remaining three points of the memorandum follows a lengthy review over several years of Juvenile Court procedures and methods. The agreement came up in private discussions after Sessions' May 25 visit to Memphis, according to the letter.
Sessions made no mention of it in his public remarks to a group of federal prosecutors.
Neither did Michael in a June 13 Juvenile Justice Summit in Hickory Hill.
Luttrell acknowledged there will be criticism of the move and debate. But he also said his experience as sheriff running a Shelby County Jail that was governed by a federal court consent decree for six of the eight years he was sheriff suggests there will still be some kind of federal oversight.

"Having been through these events before … it's not unusual in the course of these events to ask the Department of Justice where we are and to consider whether or not we can be released from the formalities of the agreement," he said. "So that's what we did in this case. We felt that with a fresh set of eyes in the attorney general's office, with what we've accomplished, where we thought we were – we decided to make the appeal."
Luttrell said Sessions did not react to the request in the May meeting and he has no idea when a decision from Washington might come on the request.
"Incredible and solid reform has been achieved thanks to the efforts of all parties to the MOA (memorandum of agreement)," the letter concludes. "Thousands of hours and millions of dollars have been spent with the DOJ's attorneys and monitors in working through all aspects of the
MOA. This work has created a roadmap for all other juvenile courts in the United States."
On the three remaining issues that Luttrell, Michael and Oldham are seeking to declare resolved:
The letter from county officials says 60 percent of the children who come to Juvenile Court are represented by the Shelby County Public Defender – a unit of the office specifically for juvenile cases that was among the first of the reforms to emerge from the memorandum.
And the county is moving to appoint "part-time assistant public defenders" from the ranks of private attorneys.
"Given these circumstances, the county and the court have done what they can do to alleviate this matter," the June 9 letter to Sessions says.
There is also a conflict between Tennessee Supreme Court decisions and the monitors on discovery issues at preliminary hearings, as well as hearings where the District Attorney General's office seeks to try juvenile as adults.
The county leaders claim "significant improvements" in protection from harm in juvenile detention, "especially in the past six months." That includes a "dramatic increase in the use of non-physical alternatives to force" and a drop in youth-on-youth assaults.
The monitors and county leaders disagree on a call by the monitors to "scale back" the reaction to threats of suicide.
On disproportionate minority contact with the juvenile justice system, the county leaders wrote that there is an overall drop in delinquency complaints – from 11,641 in 2010 to 4,948 in 2016. And the number of youth detained has gone from 6,238 in 2010 to 899 in 2016.
"It is important to note that the court does not make the decision to initiate delinquency matters or prosecute cases," the letter adds. "Every case is brought to the court by law enforcement. Memphis is a city with a 66 percent African-American majority."
The request comes a year after a compliance report from the Justice Department and several monitors appointed to gauge what progress has been made and what still needs to be done to meet the terms of the memorandum.
A report by Dr. Michael Leiber of the University of South Florida found progress in dropping the number of juveniles in detention and in the juvenile justice system beyond an initial contact.
But his findings were critical of decisions made at the court level.
"Being black increases the chances of being detained compared to similar whites," Leiber found in the report last year. "Being black decreases the chances of receiving a non-judicial outcome compared to similar whites. … Race continues to explain case outcomes even after taking into consideration relevant legal factors such as crime severity, crime type, etc."
At an April 2016 forum at the National Civil Rights Museum, Leiber said there is a "serious lack of movement" in addressing disproportionate minority contact.
And Justice Department attorney Winsome Gayle said at the same gathering that while the court is collecting data, it isn't doing enough to address the problems shown in that data.
A report by another monitor specifically on juvenile detention in June 2016 found incomplete observation logs for juveniles in detention.

text: I said the dominant province of Vygotsky's work ; that means all through his works , he uses terms and expressions which denote or connote "action" : behaviour , operation , activity , work as labour proper and these are not things which might escape your good attention . Then denial of action is denial of what Vygotsky has taken for granted . Vygotsky does have an unending love for word and literature , art in general ; Then we should not take him as being guilty because he either did not have time or he did not want to deal with the analysis of "action" .

Building a lasting, purposeful, profitable business requires 'grit' and planning, vision, and execution. Business Resilience is your business growth security formulated in 3 phases, Conceptualization, Optimization, and Expansion.
In the Beginning....
You started your business with hope and excitement, and the expectation that 'when you build it, they will come.' Well reality sinks in and you see all of the hard work you put in to getting set up, you may get one or two clients, but not the overflow you were looking for. In a moment of revenue panic you start chasing after anything and everything. However this takes you down a confusing and exhausting path away from initial goal(s). These actions also create brand confusion and people won't understand what you do.
Does this sound like you?
- You chase after 'any' kind of work or client to bring in revenue.
- You've purchasedfancy marketing materials.
- You put your ads in the local paper.
- You joined networking groups, and
- You even set up your social media account(s) (but haven't really had time to do anything with them because you are busy taking care of the few customers you have.)
- You are frustrated with all of the busy-work and not seeing a return.
If any of this sounds like you. You are not alone. You don't have to hit your head against the wall trying to figure it all out. Let me help you lighten your load, and build a purposeful, profitable business.
So what do you do? You slow down, take a pause and begin to build your Resilient Business. What is Business Resilience you ask? It's the 'Grow Your Business To Last' Solution. Check out my previous Blog Post about the "bounce back solution".
The 'Grow Your Business To Last' Solution
What are the things you can do to make your business resilient? Well there are 3 steps I bring to you Conceptualize, Optimize, and Expand. In this post I will talk about the first step in building a resilient business. What does it entail? First assess your current state, determine your future state, and what will be needed to get there. Really narrow down who your ideal client and your ideal solution/service, and solidify your brand messaging.
Conceptualization is accomplished in 4 steps.
1. Assess
First you need to figure out where you are truly and what you have (skills, secret sauce, unique talents.) Go through the process of narrowing down you niche', your target audience, and other valuable building blocks for a resilient business.
2. Create Your Vision Plan
This is your "Big Picture Plan" for your business. (Click Here to Download a Printable Vision Plan)
A. Decide what your 'why'. Your purpose for going into business, even if you already have a business started. Narrowing down your 'Why' and then who would benefit the most from your unique offering. You will get a better return on your investment if you focus on marketing and catering services to meet the needs of customers who actually understand your value and are willing to pay.
B. Decide which of your unique services or solutions you want to focus on and that you love to do. This is where you shape what your business goals and what you ultimately want to do day-in and day out. Choose wisely, it is hard enough to run a business you love, but if you continue doing things you do not enjoy it will not last. You will hit a block, that is why this part of the process is critical for the future success of your business.
3. Build Your Business Blueprint
- This is where you start putting teeth into your Vision Plan by creating all of the elements to make your vision a concrete reality. Your Business Model. Business Models are a great tool for creating the road map for your resilience in a single, easily adjustable plan. You can configure the elements in any order, as long as they are all present. Business Models provide a practical reflection of where your business is and how it will set up to support the new vision.
The following list outlines each of the elements of the business model.
Business Model Elements
Target Customer Segments - Who are your ideal customers? Who are you creating value for?
Value Configurations - How is your business set up to drive value (i.e. value chain - linear, value shop, value network)
Distribution Channels - How will you execute and get your product/ Solution out?
Cost Structure - What are the expenses to execute your business model?
Revenue Streams - What are the sources of revenue that will cover those expenses?
Customer Relationships - What type of relationships do you currently have with your customers? What relationships are expected and how can you improve them? Add in 'Customer Delights'
Partner Network - Who are the businesses that are needed for executing your service or solution? (Your business ecosystem)
Core Capabilities- What unique skills/components of your business that contribute to your value creation solution, and cannot be easily imitated by competitors?
Value Propositions - What irresistible offering you will provide for your customers?
Business models are meant to flow with your business and change or tweak based on the influences of the environment, industry, strategy change, etc. Click Here to download a quick worksheet to prepare you to create your business model.
4.Solidify Your Brand Identity and Messaging
Branding & Messaging - What are you known for and how can we tell it's you? That is the bottom line with branding and messaging. Messaging means you have a compelling story or solution that resonates with your target audience. Your brand identity solidifies that message and correlates images and colors (overall aesthetics) with your message. Think of Target and Apple and Nike. These are just a few examples of branding that has worked. Branding is more than just a logo, it is your image, your fonts, colors, symbols, photo finishing, etc. Once you have established how you want to be seen, you should solidify your marketing materials, online presence, etc. in a uniform way.
Key Points to Remember
- Understanding that fits with your new model includes understanding your colors and fonts and graphic filters and what they mean. Yes it all matters in marketing your business. Your logo, brand identity and purpose matter with what you want your business to represent. When I worked at Lockheed Martin (defense contractor) I remember wanting to create a quick presentation to use at a Government speaking event. I had to refer to the company's 60 page marketing manual on how to properly use their brand. It was very specific. If a multi-billion dollar corporation puts so much effort in its branding and marketing, how much more should you focus on these elements for the success and messaging of your business.
- Figure out which form you will use to spread your message, social media, books, speaking platforms, guest writers in published articles in your target customer's realm.
So What's Next?
Now that you have gone through the four elements of Conceptualization you have the building blocks for the first part of your resilient business and lasting growth. This simply scratches the surface. Once You have completed the first phase Conceptualization, you are ready to optimize and expand your business. Stay tuned for the next installment of Building a Resilient Business in 3 Steps.

Greeny, Geoff, Luka and Paul braved the squalls today and were rewarded with downpours and shifty gusty conditions. 30kt afternoon with gusts nearer 40 (50kts through just now).
Not an easy day - A mid-sail squall put proceedings on HOLD for a few minutes, but it came back in after the cloud had passed, and felt 10 degrees colder too.
Paul B got 'best and fairest' I reckon, taking on the 'challenging' conditions with grace and aplomb.
Luka definitely got 'longest swim' - the whitewash just grabbed your gear if you lost it, and the break was quite a way out.
Goon Dog explained the wind dynamics early in the day, suggesting that 'if the tumbleweed is blowing ALONG the beach, it will be gusty, but if it is blowing up on to the dunes, it will be steady' - SPOT ON. It started fine with a slightly on shore wind and then went to the west, the tumbleweed started moving along the beach and that was it. I think I changed board / rig about 7 times through the day.
For those who enjoy an easterly, Thursday is looking like it is going to be an absolute ripper - 26 knots, constant all day. For mine, this is THE direction for Bellbuoy, generating amazing right hand DTL riding as long as there are some bumps.
Thanks GD for the happy snaps, and the hot tips.
Here are a few photos from Monday. Luka, Ben and I enjoyed some solid swell and a gusty westerly which improved towards evening.

Character development is probably the one RPG topic I complain about most. Inconsistent character development, shallow character development, the lack of my own character development, the topic of developing personalities and motivations for game characters is likely the topic of thousands of words that I've written over the years. When I began running my online group's short Apocalypse World "backup" game, the amount and quality of player buy-in blew my mind, and turned me from an indie dabbler to someone who shouts PbtA from the rooftops.
In retrospect, it shouldn't be surprising that a good character-focused PbtA game would have the same effect on me sitting on the other side of the screen, a player. But yet, when it happened it still took me by surprise…even more surprising, the effect was even more profound than when it happened to me as a GM. Maybe it's not that surprising, actually. There are two reasons I GM: first, it appeals to both my creative mind and my desire for control in specific ways. Second, the majority of my experiences as a player in the formative years of my gaming development were, at best, mediocre. GMing was always more fun for me, though as I'm finding a lot of this was how I was able to build my own fun.
Recently, after a fair spate of so-so player experiences, I decided to look inward, as opposed to blaming the game system or the play style (or the GM). When I saw myself running through a game on autopilot that others were enjoying, I had to conclude there was something I wasn't doing…after all, I've been playing with this group for over a decade now, and I know where our playstyles align and where they clash. For our most recent games, I took the tack that making characters pop takes effort on my part not only to think through them and think about their motivations, but also to keep them relevant in the game, in both meta and mechanical senses. For the most part it's worked pretty well. Sadi and Nant, in our Dark Heresy and Force and Destiny games respectively, are two of the more engaging characters I've played, stretching back to either our first Shadowrun campaign or the Cyberpunk game "Island Paradise" (the characters for those games, Zeke and Roland, also had distinct and strong motivations, as well as better built mechanical niches than many of my others). But then, as if to shout from the rooftops "System Matters!", Seamus ran Masks at our annual Beach Weekend and blew my world open.
Masks is a superhero game that's Powered by the Apocalypse, but not just any superhero game. It takes cues from Monsterhearts and makes your characters teenagers, about to inherit the superheroic mantle from the three generations that came before them. Before we even look at the mechanics there's a great platform for a range of motivations and origin stories. Then, the rules add to that. Instead of a harm clock, you have conditions, emotional states which make things more difficult and can be given to you by teammates just as easily as enemies. Character stats can be shifted, both making social interactions *extremely* important but also representing the volatility and fragile self-image of the average teenager. The influence mechanic is there (a simpler version of Strings/Debts/Giri from Monsterhearts/Urban Shadows/The Veil), but adds the niggling detail that every adult named NPC has influence over you until they spend it, which adds yet further to the teenage milieu.
So yeah, the game's fantastically built, and like most PbtA games it's fairly simple. But what about my character? I built Gilbert Philips, a normal nerdy kid who after getting some experimental cybernetics shipped to him, becomes CryptoHertz, hacker and parkour master. Thing is, unlike the rest of the characters (which included a transforming blood monster and someone whose moods can set them on fire, literally), Gilbert doesn't have any real powers. The enhancements make him do things that he, nerdy high school kid, thinks are superhuman, but he's pretty normal compared to the others. He has imposter syndrome while many of his teammates envy his normality, alive parents, and ability to go to school and have a social life.
Gilbert is overwhelmingly based on myself from high school. The name comes from two places: "Gilbert" was the name of an over-the-top nerd character I played in a college Greek Sing show, and serves to broadcast the character archetype. "Philips" was the last name of one of my players in my high school RPG group, and is a signal to exactly what part of my life I'm borrowing most of the personality traits from (high school, but specifically the latter half of high school).
More importantly than the supporting details (driving his parents' minivan, running gaming groups, strange levels of interest in exercise and physical activity despite being terrible at them), Gilbert enters the game with some strange demi-romantic relationships that he has trouble dealing with. They aren't representative of actual things that happened to me in high school (Gilbert has way more game than I did, even if he's fucked it up badly so far), but they're indicative of an aspect I want to explore. Already in one session, playing Gilbert has been immensely therapeutic, as I get into the mind of my high school self and see similar scenarios with a very different viewpoint. It's a weird sort of inverse cognitive behavioral therapy…get back into the dysfunctional mindset you had before, to better understand why you are now more able to handle those sorts of scenarios.
As I keep on playing games, writing games, and running games, I am getting a better hold on what I'm looking for from said games. Character escapism is not really my thing, at least not in terms of ability. That said, having the power to make impactful decisions is important to me, and you can't have impactful decisions without consequences. It's also fun and cathartic to be given license to make the wrong decisions…in some ways you never have more power than when you drag the rest of the party along on your ill-considered impulse journey. More than impulses and power, though, you have to care. You have to be rooting for not just your characters but all the characters, and get invested in the journeys you take. When it comes to Masks, we know the journeys ahead will be difficult, even though we don't know what form they'll take. I talked about the game with Seamus, and he pointed out we didn't even know what the main villain looked like. Despite not having a solid arc yet, the game has already coalesced into a drama we care about, on the strengths of the main characters. It's only going to get stranger, and we'll be sitting at the table cheering on the misfits in front of us even as we grab dice and conspire to make their lives more difficult. I can't wait.

Neil Marcus : His Poem "Disabled Country"
Neil Marcus
Neil Marcus
Poem by Neil Marcus
(Introduction to a Disability History book I am currently reading)
If there were a country called disabled,
I would be from there,
I live disabled culture, eat disabled food,
Make disabled love, cry disabled tears,
Climb disabled mountains and tell disabled stories.
If there was a country called disabled,
I would say she has immigrants that come to her
From as far back as time remembers.
If there was a country called disabled,
Then I am one of its citizens.
I came here at age 8. I tried to leave.
Was encouraged by doctors to leave.
I tried to surgically remove myself from disabled country
But found myself in the end, staying and living there.
If there was a country called disabled,
I would have to remind myself that I come from there.
I often want to forget.
I would have to remember …to remember.
In my life's journey
I am making myself
At home in my country.
The Poet: Source: Wikipedia
Neil Marcus, born 1954 (New York, actor and playwright active in the development of disability culture, who has reshaped ways of thinking about disability. He developed generalised dystonia when he was eight years old.
According to Carrie Sandhal's entry in the Encyclopedia of American Disability History, "Marcus was born on January 3, 1954, in White Plains, New York, but spent his childhood in Ojai, California. He is the youngest of five children born to a secular Jewish family. Marcus's family life was full of art; his mother was a musician and his father a filmmaker. His family regularly hosted visiting artists. Marcus was an active child who loved the outdoors and physical activity, qualities that would continue even after the age of eight, when his dystonia manifested itself. His onset of dystonia was painful and disorienting, as diagnosis was elusive and a cure impossible. Marcus struggled with depression throughout his adolescence and began writing in his journal, chronicling his frustrations and joys as a disabled person. He credits his experiences in co-counseling, which he began at age 14, with pulling him out of his depression and spawning his performance aesthetic. Co-counseling involves peer-to-peer, confidential counseling that helps the participants discover themselves and deal with their emotions. Marcus has discussed his relationship with audiences as a form of co-counseling in which he and they share experiences on a journey of discovering self and other."
Neil Marcus
Performance Artist (Oral History transcript)
"Disability is an art — an ingenious way to live," Neil Marcus writes. This award-winning playwright, actor, poet, and performance artist earned national acclaim when he crafted his experiences as a man living with dystonia, a severe neurological disorder, into a powerful staged work. Storm Reading, first produced in the late eighties, challenged audiences to re-evaluate conventional ideas about disability and set a standard for performing artists with disabilities. Voted one of Los Angeles' top ten plays of 1993, it enjoyed a nearly decade-long run. Since then, Marcus' passionate stance toward life has infused his artistic choices. Believing that "life is a performance," he has cast his creative net wide, participating in a range of diverse projects.

Service Management teams receive far too many incidents with inadequate information, delaying effective response. In fact, if we really think about it, IT in general spends more time investigating and running down information than actually resolving issues. As part of our coverage of Cherwell's Global Conference (CGC16), let's take a moment to explore how this might be ameliorated.
Let's think about a typical incident's lifecycle for a moment. It all begins when a user reports an incident, "I can't run my report in SAP." With only this information available, troubleshooting logically starts at the user's desktop, verifying they have network access, and that the local application is loading and logging in. After several hours the desktop is eliminated as our source of problems, and we move on to SAP itself. Six hours later, and after pulling over a dozen IT operators from their current tasks to aid in troubleshooting, we finally isolate the real issue; a batch job didn't run successfully, causing the report to return zero records. Remediation takes only a few seconds. In the meantime, an entire business unit has been unproductive for at least a day, and multiple critical projects are delayed because people were pulled away to work the problem.
Now, let's see what this same incident looks like with the combination of FireScope Stratis and Cherwell Service Management. Hours before the user reported the issue, FireScope Stratis executes a periodic User Experience Check (UEC) that follows this user's workflow. One of the attributes being analyzed in this UEC is the size of the report output page, which returns far lower than is typically returned. A policy defined to look for user-impacting events that occur at the same time as downstream technical events (in this case, the status of the batch job) is now triggered, which causes FireScope Stratis to make a web service call to Cherwell to generate an incident. Included with this incident are the names of the two events that caused the policy to trigger, as well as key attribute data captured at the time of the event. The ITSM team now knows that a business impacting issue has occurred, they know the source of the incident, and it has already been routed by CSM to the SAP team to resolve. By the time the analyst in the first scenario has arrived for work, the issue has already been resolved and the work day proceeds without event knowing that an issue occurred.
In FireScope Statis' latest release, we've made some really interesting enhancements to this integration, bringing fully customizable field mapping for incidents. This enables you to have FireScope Stratis automatically populate any field – including custom fields – in your CSM incident. This is especially powerful when you consider the possibilities for workflow automation in CSM once it receives these fully enriched incidents, as well as what could be achieved via an mApp leveraging this data.
Would you like to know more? Schedule a demo and we'd be happy to walk you through how it all works and just how quickly we can start delivering value!

Southern India is a very diverse area. A complete tour of South India is not possible in one vacation. You might have to get the highlights of each state in South India. South India has Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The islands of Andaman and Nicobar also fall under this region. Thus, anything from Hollywood style romantic beach vacation to cultural vacation is possible in south India.
1. Backwaters of Kerala
Most of the tourists take the tour of South India just for the sake of Kerala. It is hard to pinpoint a specific backwater in Kerala. Kerala is the Venice of East. You can find a lot of backwaters that are lined with paddy fields and coconut groves. Taking a houseboat cruise on the backwaters is the first and foremost tourist activity of this land. There are a lot of monuments, beaches and other natural attractions in this place too. If you are visiting in the rainy season or winter season, you can also enjoy authentic Ayurvedic massages.
2. Bheemeshwari
Bheemeshwari is a place in Karnataka. It is the place for those who love water. There are a lot of fishing camps here and a wildlife sanctuary. The top tourist activities here are kayaking, rope walking, trekking, and rafting. The wildlife sanctuary here would allow night camping in the jungle. There are about 200 different species of exotic birds and many animals. The place is also famous for the trophy fish, Mahseer. You can also try fishing here. It is an important place for those who want to take an adventure styled tour.
3. Goa
Most of the South India tour would have Goa in it. Goa is a place of beach and nightlife. If you are visiting for the first time, it is better not to spend a lot of time in beaches. Yes, your first stop should be the beach. Have a quiet picnic time or some tourist actions in the beach. Enjoy the warm sand and gushing ocean. There is always some sort of festival in Goa. Try to mingle with the crowd and have a wild time. It is what Goa is all about. If you are looking for adventure activities, there are trekking areas and quad bike rental areas. Visit the markets for some purchases and do not forget the spice plantation.
5. Andaman and Nicobar Island
It is a land of beach with white warm sand, crystal blue waters, shady palm and coconut trees, blue warm lagoons and eggshell coloured beach sand. It is the place for a Hollywood styled beach vacation. You can perform all forms of water-based activities here. Top activities are snorkelling, scuba diving, water house and others. There are a few amazing aquariums in this island. No matter what you miss, do not forget scuba diving. If you are not an expert of scuba diving, you can get instructors to help you. There are specific places for beginners to enjoy scuba diving with safety and control. There are many places for extreme divers too.

ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a 47-year-old man drowned in Lake Hartwell as he tried to retrieve his grandson's float which had drifted away.
The Anderson County Coroner's Office said James McClain went under as he swam toward the float and did not resurface around 4:45 p.m. Monday.
Authorities say McClain was at the lake with his wife and grandson, and they were trying to get out of the water when the float got away.
Divers found McClain's body in about 8 feet of murky water about three hours after he disappeared.
Authorities say it was the third drowning in the Singing Pines Recreation Area of Lake Hartwell this year and the first of 2 drownings in about eight hours on the man-made lake.

Whether you're newlyweds and searching for your first home, or you have a growing family and are looking for a bigger house, the neighborhood you choose should offer places where you and your significant other can spend time alone. Miami is not only a friendly community to call home, but it also offers plenty of attractions for couples. Ranging from great beaches to perfect date-night activities, here are seven places to check out in Miami as a couple:
1. South Beach
One of the most romantic places in Miami is the beach. There's no shortage of sunny ocean views and tranquil breezes. But when it comes to the perfect little rendezvous spot for two, a walk along the white sands and warm waters of South Beach is a must. Afterward, cross the street and check out the quaint shops and restaurants on Ocean Drive.
2. Miami Seaquarium
Why not slip on some wet suits and swim with dolphins as a couple? At the Miami Seaquarium, you can go on an underwater journey in a tropical reef aquarium or get up close and personal with some seals. If you and your significant other adore aquatic animals, this memorable activity will leave you in awe.
3. Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden
Spending time surrounded by nature's beauty is incredibly romantic. The Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Coral Gables features a stunning orchid display, a garden with more than 40 species of butterflies and breathtaking views of lakes and islands. Be sure to stop by the edible garden where you can enjoy tropical fruits.
4. Hot Air Balloon Ride
Get carried away together on a hot air balloon ride over the city of Miami. Balloon Over Miami is one company that offers sunrise hot air balloon rides over South Florida with views of Miami, the Keys and the Everglades. The ride lasts 45 minutes to an hour and concludes with a romantic champagne toast.
5. Matheson Hammock Park
This Coral Gables seaside park is open from sunrise to sunset. The calm beach features a gentle breeze, and is a fabulous backdrop for a picnic for two. You can go for a swim or try your luck at kiteboarding. There's also a boating school on the park grounds if you're an adventuresome couple.
6. Ziff Ballet Opera House
Take in a show together under the twinkling lights of the Ziff Ballet Opera House, which is located at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. This classic opera house hosts dance and musical events, plays and film screenings, along with private events.
7. South Pointe Park
Stroll along the walkways, hand-in-hand, overlooking the ocean at South Pointe Park. Take a few moments to stop and admire the water fountains or get your toes wet in the interactive water feature. There's even a dog park if you want to bring your furry companion along for a run.
Southern Florida is the place to be. If you're looking for special places in Miami to spend a birthday, an anniversary or date night, there's no shortage of memorable parks, beaches and attractions.

Sawai Madhopur
Near the township of
Sawai Madhopur
, in the state of Rajasthan,
Ranthambore National Park
is an outstanding example of Project Tiger's efforts at conservationin the country. The forests around the Ranthambore Fort were once, the private hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur. The desire to preserve the game in these forests for sport, was responsible for their conservation, and subsequent rescue by Project Tiger.
The Park sprawls over an estimated area of 400 sq kms. Steep crags embracea network of lakes and rivers, and a top one of these hills, is the impressive Ranthambore Fort, built in the 10th century. The terrain fluctuates between impregnable forests and open bushland. The forest is the typically dry deciduous type, with dhok, being the most prominent tree. The entry point to the Park, goes straight to the foot of the fort and the forest rest house,
Jogi Mahal
. The latter boasts of the second-largest banyan tree in India.
The Padam Talab, the
Raj Bagh Talab
and the
Milak Talab
are some of the lakes in the area, that attract the tiger population . They have been spotted at the edges of these lakes, and Jogi Mahal itself. Old crumbling walls, ruined pavilions, wells, and other ancient structures stand witness to the region's glorious past.
The entire forest is peppered with the battlements and spillovers of the
Ranthambore Fort
- tigers are said to frequent these ruins, too. As a result of stringent efforts in conservation, tigers, the prime assets of the Park, have become more and more active during the day. More than in any other park or sanctuary in India, tigers are easily spotted here in daylight. They can be seen lolling around lazily in the sun, or feverishly hunting down sambar around the lakes.

12 Experiments: A year long adventure of Curiosity, Ease, Playfulness and Alignment./
I am always in search of ways to make going after goals or answering big questions more fun and interesting. Having a project helps me to reflect daily on what it is I'm after and keeps me true to my values.
I'm getting ready to embark on a year long project which has me feeling both excited and also really nervous.
I've had a lot of resistance in the past to committing to goals longer than a few weeks long. My fear of being disappointed or of not completing things and then feeling as though I am lacking in some way has prevented me from even attempting them.
But lately I have felt pulled to try again, instead of just writing myself off as "not being that kind of person". I decided to take what I know about myself, which is that I like and need variety to succeed and find creative solutions to the roadblocks that usually get in my way.
Last year in partial answer to that question I took a baby step towards doing a longer project and created The Sparks Challenge for myself.
The project was to do 50 days of brushlettering, an art form that was new to me. Shortly into the project I felt moved to draw illustrations that spoke to important topics that were close to my heart.
After I completed that round, I felt like I could keep going so I extended the project 50 more days and invited others to join in. It was a fun process that challenged me but also gave me room to skip a day and change the project up if I needed to.
Almost a year later I have created a habit of brush lettering and illustrating making and I am now working on making them into a book and digital prints for t-shirts and other paper goods.
That project was just the confidence builder I needed, and proved to me that I was capable of acheiving longer term projects, but it might not look like how everyone else does them.
Which brings me to this current project, The 12 Experiments. I'm using the model of 12 Experiments which was created and inspired by a past guest on the podcast Sarah Natsumi Moore.
The basic idea is that each month you focus on one area to experiment with. Framing things as experiments is great because it can allow me to be objective during the process, without the judegment! Yay, I love that! Check out Sarah's completed 12 experiments here.
I've given this project some thought and I know that in order to stick with any long term commitment My "Why" must be meaningful to me otherwise there will be so many reasons to make excuses and quit.
The topics I'm picking are personal goals I'd like to acheive, things I keep saying I'll do and never do, and other areas that I want to challenge myself.
My over arching why is to explore how living a life of alignment and ease will impact my professional and personal goals I have set for this year. I'm hoping that aligning more with ease, playfulness, and curiosity will help me create sustainable practices that feel good to me and good to my family.
As a side desire, at the end of this year long adventure I will be celebrating my 40th birthday. I thought it seemed like a fun way to explore and experiment with ideas as I say goodbye to my 30's enter into my 40's.
Some ideas/questions that I will be exploring:
- Can I build a buisness of flow, ease, sustainability, and have high levels of success?
- How does feminine energy play a role in my creativity and business?
- What happens when you create boundaries around time even when there is nothing occupying that time?
- Am I pushing too hard?
- Can I stay aligned before action? What happens when I do? What happens when I don't?
- Is this fun, playful, joyful?
- Am I staying true to my values, (family, authenticity, truthfulness, connection, meaning)
The Guidling Principles:
- Find the joy and playfulness
- I am allowed to course correct, especially if the why has changed or if it no longer feels authentic
- Must be something slightly outside my comfort zone.
- I am allowed to batch work.
- Must not break any laws, harm anyone else
My plan is to write about my experience here on this blog, and share my story on instagram stories. Follow along here
Each month I will answer the following questions
- Observation: What do I notice?
- Question: What question would I like to solve?
- Hypothesis: What do I think will happen?
- Methods: What am I going to do?
- Results: What happened?
- Conclusion: Did I prove my hypothesis?
Experiment List (so far, and not necessarily in this order)
- Month of Weights
- Month of Cooking
- Month of Analog
- Month of Audio
- Month of Yoga
- Month of Budgeting
- Month of How to Life a Good Life Book
- Month of Decision Making
And that's it! I'm really excited to see with this birthday year has in store for me, and also what I have in store for it! Experiment #1 is A month of Weights! Stayed tuned for my why behind that!
I still have a couple months to fill if you have a topic*** you think I would like please email me at email@example.com
***(nothing illegal, obscene, or involving the harming of life in any way)

|These sketches were made on August 16th, 2001, my first visit to the Mogao Grottoes at Dunhuang. Because permission to photograph the caves is expensive and difficult to obtain and because photography inside the dark chambers requires a large degree of technical skill, sketching proved to be the best way to capture small pieces of the cave painting. The Northern Wei style paintings were particularly successful subjects for sketching due to their bold lines and abstract, simplified human forms.
Cave 428. A Northern Zhou (557 580 CE) figure. "Mural style reminiscent of 1920's Mexican mural painter- Reserve Corridor, Darmouth." This is where I first made the visual connection between early Dunhuang forms and the 1920's socialist murals by Orozco that line the Reserve Corridor at Dartmouth College's Baker Library.

Who decided that the official Americanized St. Patrick's day meal was going to be corned beef and cabbage? Did people just sit around one day discussing Irish food and unilaterally decide that boiling meat & cabbage together was a good idea? There are plenty of Irish foods that taste infinitely better than that disgusting concoction.
For example, Shepherd's Pie – ground meat with onions, peas & carrots in gravy topped off with champ (aka mashed potatoes), smothered in Irish cheddar and baked. Delicious.
What's really ridiculous is according to this official looking website, "corned beef is not traditionally Irish at all – Bacon and Cabbage is." I'm not saying we should all start eating bacon and cabbage. Why not skip the cabbage all together? I hate to be crass, but cabbage makes people very very gassy. So does beer. There's no way you can convince people to stop drinking on St. Patrick's day, but why exponentially increase the flatulence by adding boiled cabbage into the mix?
I truly think a better candidate for St. Patty's dinner is the aforementioned Shepherd's pie. Or maybe some bangers and mash (everyone loves sausage). Hell even a hearty Irish stew or a hunk of soda bread with some tasty dubliner cheese.
Just a word of warning… should you decide to eat out at an Irish pub, stay far, far away from the "pudding". This is NOT a tasty snack pack of chocolately puddingy goodness. It's meat and wheat and rice and other stuff all pureed together and stuffed into a casing. If that's not horrifying enough, Black Pudding is all of that lovely stuff mixed with pigs blood. Definitely not the yummy dessert food of your youth.
In closing, I think this year should be the year that we say no to sub-par fake Irish food. Down with corned beef. Screw off cabbage. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.
