Resource: Advice from a Citizen Lobbyist
This advice was contributed by Peter Chabarek for anyone working with their state legistlators.
Guidelines, Rules of Thumb, and Suggestions for Lobbying in the Oregon Legislature
I have been asked to come to the BORDC statewide meeting February 6 to share my views from my experiences lobbying the legislature in the last session in 2003. I know there will be many people with lots of important things to say, and I want to be as respectful of people's time as I possibly can. So I'm writing this for people so I won't take up too much time at the meeting. Because I was kind of "in the center of the storm," I want to share my thoughts with y'all (I picked up that Southern drawl from Brooke). I'll just say here that these guidelines are just my ideas coming from my experience, others will have their "take" on the whole tornado that happened back then, and also that I felt we achieved a great deal in the last session, much more than anyone expected, which is a testament to the power of the grassroots responding to an idea whose time has come. SO MANY people put out extraordinary effort in the waning weeks of the last legislature, it was truly a deeply moving thing to witness—I cried with awe and joy so many times I lost count. The power and immediacy of the need for this work has become even greater in these dangerous times, and my heart goes out to all of you who are investing a chunk of your life force toward keeping all of us free. OK, here's my humble contribution on what I think worked and didn't work in Salem in 2003:
Consider everyone you encounter in the legislature as either an ALLY or a POTENTIAL ALLY. The issue of civil liberties cuts right across party lines, so make no assumptions about who you think will help or hurt the movement. Assume that anyone who doesn't yet agree with defending the Bill of Rights simply needs to be educated more. That's our job. And legislators' aides can be very important allies, even if they take the opposing view, so work on everyone. ·
Be RESPECTFUL BUT ASSERTIVE when dealing with legislators and their staff. They are incredibly busy; on average 3000 bills will be introduced in a session, and that's a lot to deal with on top of their other responsibilities, especially considering they are "citizen legislators" who are paid something like $12oo per month for this. And no matter how frustrated or righteously angry you might feel, never GET angry with opponents or allies. But also be absolutely assertive—know exactly what you're after, and go after it with dogged determination. Oppression never yields voluntarily, it only yields to the will of a determined populace (that's either from Frederick Douglas or Hope Marston, I don't remember which). ·
PERSEVERENCE FURTHERS. Nothing earns the respect of legislators like determined, consistent effort. 90% of the battle is to just keep showing up and showing your face, hounding them with emails, phone calls, literature, and the like. Sometimes they give you what you want just to get rid of you. ·
USE THE RESOURCES that we have built up over the past 3 years. The ACLU, staff of supportive legislators, general staff of the Capitol building can give you tips about things you didn't know existed. We're all beginners at this, learn from the folks who live in the legislature and play the game for a living. Who would have thought we would have the NRA lobbying for our measure? But that's the kind of thing the ACLU helped us with. Who would have thought that an aide to Sen. Bill Fisher (an extreme conservative who told us he thought it was a great idea to lock up the Japanese Americans in WWII in concentration camps) would listen to our arguments and help persuade Fisher to back us (he became a sponsor, for God's sake!)? But that's what happened when Michi just kept working on him with the literature we had built up over time. ·
DO YOUR HOMEWORK. You don't need to know everything about civil liberties to do lobbying, but you should know very well the basics about our bill and the most egregious aspects of the UPA and other laws. Use the legislature website to read thru each legislator's background (they're short) and make some flashcards to review just before you go in to see them. This helps a lot in making a personal connection if you can find some piece of legislation they introduced that you liked, or help you avoid talking about a subject that you strongly disagree on. It helped immensely, for example, to read a speech about Martin Luther King that Max Williams, a Republican, had on his webpage—it was a fine speech, I thought, and I told him so, and it was easier to get an "in" when I could ask him what he thought MLK would think of the UPA, and remind him he's from the party of Lincoln. And it was helpful to know about Gary George's extreme feelings about abortion but also that he's really a libertarian more than a Republican. Also, part of "homework" is setting up appointments beforehand so you're more likely to catch the key people BEFORE decisions get made in the backroom deals that happen all the time in the Capitol. ·
ACTIVATE THE GRASSROOTS!!! This is huge. The most important reason we got as far as we did last session is because folks like Hope Marston and Brian Michaels spent enormous time creating and nurturing contacts throughout the state. So we had an amazing grassroots network ready to go when we got to Salem, people who learned the essence of the issues and were motivated to act when called upon. TIMING IS CRUCIAL—activate the phone tree for the activist constituents in the particular district of a legislator who you're going to be meeting with a week before you get to him/her, so by the time you talk to the legislator, they've already had an earful from their constituents on the issue. If you do this step correctly and the grassroots follows thru like they usually do, then all you have to do when you meet the legislator is give him a few good reasons to vote for the bill, and remind him/her that their constituents are up in arms about this issue. ·
COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE. This a true People's movement, and it takes the involvement of all of us to make it work. Misunderstandings happen when assumptions get made, feelings get hurt, inaccurate information gets passed on, rumors fly, and bad decisions can happen if we don't communicate enough. Run up the cell phone bill, send lots of emails, whatever it takes, but keep everyone in the loop as much as humanly possible. Besides, this part is half the fun! ·
SIMPLIFY THE MESSAGE. Take a page from Karl Rove's playbook—keep the message simple, and pound away on it relentlessly. When you go in to talk with a legislator, know 5 hardhitting aspects of the UPA and related laws that you can hit them with, but only use 3 in the initial conversation. Don't overwhelm them with information, they won't assimilate it and will forget it as soon as you're out the door. Of course, give them a great packet of information that they can read if they are truly interested, and to show that we did our homework, but it's much more important to hit them over the head with 3 things they can remember, like: "Did you realize the FBI can read your emails and tap your phone without a warrant now?" or "Do you think your constituents would like it if they knew the Patriot Act allows undercover agents to infiltrate their churches, mosques and synagogues without any suspicion of a crime?" Stuff like that which is difficult to argue against without sounding silly or fascist. ·
COME FROM A PLACE OF STRENGTH. We have had innumerable successes, more than 350 communities, 4 entire states passing these resolutions. We cleared the Senate by a near-unanimous vote last time. The issue is deeply implanted in the public mind, and the politicians know it. GO AT THIS TASK WITH THE ATTITUDE AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE GOING TO WIN, and if they don't go along they're going to miss the train. We WILL win, and they know that. Remember that, when things get to feeling a little tough.
I hope this wasn't too long or redundant. We have drawn some amazingly talented and dedicated people to this work, and I honor the sacrifice and passion you all have put and will put into this critical work.

Ames creek from Twinkle - W and N to Florence

One more question about travelling from Twinkle access: for August trip, presumably in low water, is Ames creek passable from Twinkle lake to Linger and then from Pine lake to Florence?

You will have to use the portages in August to go from Twinkle to Linger.You may have to wade some parts of the creek as you travel downstream, but it should be all doable.There was a new tree fall across the creek just after the 1st portage from Twinkle, but you can c/o an island and carry on downstream.
I presume you are going to go to Pine Lake via the Seagram Lake and the Yorston River.
From Pine to Florence is usually OK except for Skooztagan which is a bit unpredictable if the water levels are really low.
You might want to ask about conditions on Skooztagan a few weeks before your planned trip to see if there is recent information available.
How are you getting back to Twinkle... by shuttle?

we have done ames from the pinetorch route to florence in august and it was easy going, but then again not all augusts are created equal- so i would listen to ed.
you would't want to do it in a dry year as it is pretty shallow the whole way (& i had a feeling there was a lot of mud down there).

Thanks for your help! It sounds reassuring.
ed, no shuttle - we don't have a second car anyway. I was thinking something like figure-eight, for example: W. by Ames creek to Seagram, N. to Mudchanel, E. to Pine lake and N. to Florence, then Yorston river to Yorston lake and back to Twinkle. I expect to be in the area in May and adjust August plans according to what I see for myself.

We had a section of canoes pass through there in August of 2011 when there were numerous forest fires in the area.
Our guys watched a MNR helicopter try and fail to pick-up a load of water from Skooztagan before giving up and flying away. Must look like open water from the air.

there is a very nice small 1-2 tent campsite at the extreme SE end of Ames Lake, on top of a small rock mound.

I carry one in my truck, but so far I have never needed to use it.
There are a few wet spots in the early Spring, but mostly dry by late May.
By the way... the portage from Seagram into Yorston is an uphill beast. Better to go along Seagram and use the portage into Linger.
If you do go into Yorston, there is a campsite ( Moose Hunt Camp also) a bit west of where the portage hits the road before Yorston. Nice lake site, if you don't look too closely at the Moose camp that will be behind you.( You can reach the campsite by walking along the road. No need to go down to the lake, load and then unload again.)

ed, it's like my first aid kit: never used anything but bandaids. Same goes for a tool kit - haven't opened it since I broke a yoke on the very first day of my very first trip. I'd say my trip list is around 200 items long and 15-20% of them are never touched. On the other hand I've never missed anything on a trip except for the last year when I took my wife's pants instead of mine: paddling was ok, but portages...
Thanks for advice: Yorston portage certainly looks ominous, even on topo. Still might try it. As of today the steepest I encountered was a newly cut trail - 2nd from Wolf to Laundry. My knees were dirty after that one.
grncnu, thank you for the tip - this site looks as a good stop on the last night before Florence.

So Wolf to Laundry was nasty.
From the road to the pond is OK?
But that small section at the start of the uphill climb is a bit nasty?
It is an old nastawgan with very large old growth blazed trees in that section that parallels the creek.
Was there much water in the beaver pond? Were you able to paddle it to the start of the portage? When did you do that trip?

My wife and I went to Marjorie in early May 2012 and saw a green canoe parked on Wolf at the beginning of the portage. Later George Robbins told us it was a local crew restoring old nastawgan. Trying it out was one of the highlights of my next trip in July (as well as a restored portage from Doon to Matagamasi). And it was the uphill from the pond that got me on my knees. If I had a larger tandem boat instead of my slim solo I'd need my partner's help, I guess, to keep the boat vertical. Other than that it was no problem - from the road to the pond was easy and the pond itself had enough water in July. This is very beautiful trail, much better - if not easier - than the "old" one by the road. Its character is in harmony with the area.

Good to hear there was enough water in the beaver pond to float along it, because the dam at the bottom end was not looking too healthy in the Spring. A big chunk was missing from the centre and the water level was a lower than usual.
Did you have any problem following the trail through Doon to Matagamasi?
Did you see the Blue Heron nesting area on the island in Doon. I was through there in early May and there were about 6 families using the island?

I guess the beavers took care of their dam by July. I don't remember seeing herons on Doon. The trail to Matagamasi was mostly non-existant as a trail per se - probably not enough people trodded it, but following the blazes was no problem at all. I was a bit confused finding the landing on Doon.

Dunbeth Moss is one of a vanishing kind - A special bit of nature as it has been for millennia - It should be preserved"
Dunbeth Moss, situated at the south-west corner of area between Airdrie and Coatbridge, known as The Moss, is a raised (or domed) bog.
A bog is created by organic matter production that exceeds the rate of decay and its nature as a wetland is maintained by the high water holding capacity of peat fibres.
In a raised bog the peat is built up slightly higher in the centre, giving the bog a shape like an inverted saucer, its surface is raised above that of the surrounding drainage. Because of this shape, rain is the only water source into the bog.
Most raised bogs start out as lakes, and gradually become filled in with plants. The plants die and rot, eventually forming peat and build up over many years. Sphagnum moss forms the base of most bogs, it is acidic, poor in nutrients, and holds water like a sponge.
Raised Bogs are becoming rare!.

Support to Art Education in Primary Schools" – SAEPS – is a Cultural Development Program between Vietnam and Denmark 2006-2010 to support the implementation of art education, which was included in primary school curriculum from 2002. The outcome was presented at a National Seminar 2010. The program was extended 2011-2015.
Through aesthetic learning students process and transform experiences and impressions from real life into symbolic expressions, whereby they create meaning and understanding.
Students stimulate their imagination and their creative and innovative competences. They develop self-confidence and cooperative competences.
AEPS has arranged aesthetic learning art processes, where each student gets the possibility to investigate, express, and reflect upon their experiences, feelings, ideas, and statements.
A core art project team has conducted in-service training workshops, supported and documented the piloting.
The teaching material DAY HOC MI THUÂT is developed and edited based on feed-back from piloting students and their art teachers as well as the management and DOETs in the piloting provinces. The editorial team has followed the recommendations from 4 researchers and the project Management Board.
DAY HOC MI THUÂT is distributed to all Primary Schools in Vietnam.
In 2014-15 SAEPS was assigned to design a suggested frame and content of a new curriculum for Art Education in Vietnam. The work has been based on experiences from the current curriculum, experiences from piloting, feed-back from SAEPS researchers, and study of international curricula. The draft is accessible below and readers are invited to give comments for further improvements.
Several districts in piloting provinces established supportive networks among the involved art teachers. These reflective practitioners share experiences, removed obstacles, and developed new ways to go when planning Aesthetic learning art processes. This open knowledge sharing has now extended to Facebook.
Find inspiration and help among your colleagues nationwide and worldwide.

Moments of clarity.
I've experienced a few of those since I began this journey a little less than two months ago. The most recent moment came last week, the morning after my latest bout with the dark.
I did manage to get a few hours' sleep before starting the new day, and although I was physically beat, I realized it was my emotional state that had totally wiped me out. Through every waking moment of that morning, that feeling of malaise followed me around. Something still wasn't quite right. Only after a few hours did I realize the crash was coming.
While in the grocery store, it happened. I became completely overwhelmed by the dark once more. Obviously, this was a continuation of what I'd experienced less than eight hours previously but this time, it was much more intense.
I held it at bay long enough to finish up my shopping and high-tail it home. Once there, in solitude, I broke down. Little did I know that this would be the final battle with the current manifestation of the dark that had burrowed inside me and had caused me such inner turmoil.
That's what I had been used to doing – running as fast as I could in my attempt to slow down time. The pace had been quickened in recent months and I honestly didn't know why.
It all became clear while sitting on my deck in solitude, as frozen perishables in shopping bags began thawing on my kitchen countertop.
In January of this year, a little less than ten months ago, in a tragic turn of events, I lost my significant other of two and a half years. No doubt, I'd yet to put this to rest.

NFL roster cut-down day turned out to be a great day for 2012 Mr. Irrelevant Chandler Harnish and Cheta Ozougwu, last year's final draft pick who has the same moniker.
Harnish, Mr. Irrelevant XXXVII, the quarterback who was taken No. 253 by the Indianapolis Colts, made the team's 53-man roster as the No. 3 QB. Harnish is behind starter Andrew Luck, taken No. 1 by the Colts, and five-year NFL vet Drew Stanton, the backup.
Harnish, out of Northern Illinois University, completed 27 of 47 passes for 406 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception during the preseason, as the Colts went 2-2.

Almost all our clients and angler friends from Singapore, fish with some of the finest tackle available in the market. Clarence apart from organizing this trip for his friends also ensured that they carried excellent tackle with them. Our big GTs here in the Andamans got Clarence rethinking his line choice though! Even he lost count of the number of times his line burst.
This group fished hard for six days in the heat and really earned their fish with some relentless casting, especially from Rainer Chong. They brought in a lot of fish while jigging. Russel was in for a surprise while jigging when a large GT decided to eat the fish he was trying to land. After a hard fight the beast fish was landed and came in close to the 40 kilo mark. These big GT have voracious appetites and when they decide to hit your lure, you better be prepared.
Thomas Tan was the newbie in the group and put in a lot of effort casting and jigging. By the end of the trip he was fishing like a pro. Pencil poppers seemed to be a favourite of this trip and the group decided to give the Hammerhead Toby a new nick name: Banana!
Clarence's nightmare with line bursts continued … One afternoon on his first cast after lunch a big GT slammed his popper as it hit the water. Among the big GT that were landed their catch also included decent size Yellowfin and Dogtooth Tuna and an equal number of fish managed to get away. On the final day of their trip, the team landed more than 25 GT, 14 Job fish, 1 Red Snapper and a nice 50 kilo Sailfish while trolling.
Species Caught:
Giant Trevally, Barracuda, Dogtooth Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Jobfish, Red Snapper and Sailfish
Popping: Carpenter, Zenaq, Ripple Fisher
Jigging:Synit, Ripple fisher
Popping and Jigging
Shimano Stella, Daiwa Saltiga, Shimano Ocea Jigger
Hammerhead, El Toro, Craftbait GT2, Carpenter, Temple Reef

Absolut Clemente. Clemente 20th Anniv
ABSOLUT CLEMENTE is in the 7/00 issue of Art in America magazine (back cover); it is very similar to the photo on page 61 of the 7/00 issue of Vanity Fair mag, which was part of the Absolut 20th Anniversary Collection. Since this single ad does not have a traditional logo near the bottom of the page, I've listed it under the name of the person/people featured in the ad.
FRANCESCO CLEMENTE, 48, is a French painter whose own image appears frequently in his work, it shown seated in his studio admiring a self-portrait; upside-down and partially covered is a copy of his own ABSOLUT CLEMENTE ad.

In an area where some clubs have well over 700 members per golf course, Quail Creek Country Club has only 280 per course, giving our Club the lowest density of golfers in the Naples area. You'll never have trouble making a tee time at Quail Creek Country Club.
When nationally respected architect Arthur Hills looked at Quail Creek, he saw the opportunity to develop two different, but equally challenging, golf courses both for men and women. In doing so, he succeeded in creating 36 holes of championship golf!

Research interest
My research interests focus on the development of early diagnostic tools for skin cancer and the investigation of etiology and risk factors of the disease.
1. Early detection tools: Because of low diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for melanoma among the non-dermatologists, there is an urgent need in developing diagnostic tools, especially for primary care providers who first screen patients with possible malignancy. I have been designing automatic computer algorithms to extract key diagnostic features from colour skin images captured by an inexpensive optical technique, dermoscopy, which is used by dermatologists with special training for the technique. Added intelligence from the computer programs could potentially extend the use of the technique to primary care providers.
I am also investigating automated computer algorithms to enumerate and track pigmented skin lesions over time from total body photographs. This type of computer program will help dermatologists to manage high risk melanoma patients and etiologic studies of melanoma.
Although dermoscopy is an effective method for diagnosing melanoma, the technique cannot be used to evaluate skin surface roughness, which is also an important diagnostic parameter. To complement the technique, I initiated another line of research on laser speckle, an optical technique analyzing the skin surface using the backscattered coherent light. Recently, I also investigated how to extract skin internal properties such as bulk optical properties using laser speckle techniques.
2. Etiology and risk factor studies: In the epidemiologic research area, I led the case-control studies on analysing sun behaviour of melanoma patients and on physical activities and melanoma risk. I am also involved in a wide range of studies investigating skin cancer trends, cancer risk due to sun exposure and tanning beds, sunscreen use and the genesis of nevus (the precursor of melanoma), and other diseases. Currently, I am the principal investigator of a case-control study, sponsored by CIHR, examining the relationship among blood levels of organochlorine compounds, UV radiation and melanoma. It is well-known that the main environmental risk factor for melanoma is the UV from sun exposure. However, it is unclear whether the UV is the only factor. Our recent pilot study suggested that organochlorine compounds were highly associated with melanoma even after adjusting for sun exposure. The current CIHR case-control study will test the hypothesis that organochlorine compounds act as a promoter for the disease.

The Michigan Department of Transportation is making an effort to make motorists safer on the road with a warning about certain driving conditions. The following is part of a press release from Bob Felt, MDOT Office of Communications:
A motorist is making his morning trip to the office. As he turns east, the sun glare temporarily blinds him. Struggling to see, he reaches for his sunglasses and notices what appear to be brake lights on the vehicle in front of him. Hitting the brakes, it takes a couple nerve-wracking moments for him to realize nothing tragic happened, and he safely makes his way to work.
Because the sun rises and sets closer to the horizon and almost exactly east and west in the spring, driving can be difficult and, in some cases, dangerous. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) offers these tips for safe spring driving:
– Adjust the time that you travel to and from your destination;
– Wear a good pair of sunglasses and drive slower than you usually do; and
– Keep the windshield clean as the sun's glare can make dirt more obvious.
"Using any or all of these tips, especially in early spring, can make our roads safer," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "Another good way to deal with the bright sunlight is to allow more space between you and the vehicle in front of you."
Intense glare from the sun on the horizon has the potential to blind drivers, causing unexpected slow downs. Other potential safety hazards exist every year as well, like wet, fallen leaves and frost.

Eyeing Expansion: Intel's Offering to Rural India - the Community PC
he rural sector has one more reason to smile. After ITC's e-choupals, here comes Intel's "Community PC" platform.
Intel has recently announced the Community PC as its offering to the rural Indian. Its part of the "Jagruti" initiative wherein Intel collaborates with businesses, governments and education institutes to provide their services through this platform.
The PC is designed to face the rough and tough conditions of the rural sector. It is a expandable and runs on shared access. It has a rugged chassis, Customized Power Supply Unit (CPSU), lower power consumption and Access Control. The Chassis can withstand harsh temperatures (upto 45 degree Celsius), high humidity levels(70 to 85 RH). It has an in built fan to cool the motherboard. The CPSU is a combination of the Integrated Power Supply and UPS. This protects the computer from abrupt power cuts. What's more, it takes less than 100W to run!
Rural India is a huge untapped market for the Big Tech guys. Internet kiosks have been increasing across the rural India providing access to services like e-governance, e-banking et al. Intel aims to position its PC for such kiosks thus not only providing the farmer with a rough and tough machine, but also promoting access to technology.
Be it FMCG or IT, Rural India is the place to be. But is this another monopoly in making?

Below, are the basics on global warming and sea level rise. One thing is for sure, even if you don't live on the coast. The impact of this natural phenomenon is far reaching and significant, and putting your head in the sand is not going to make it go away.
Where The Issue Begins
The discussion begins with global warming. Global warming is a by-product of our growth during the industrial period, where manufacturing, energy, and transportation (to name just a few culprits) emit poisonous gases like carbon dioxide and monoxide into the atmosphere, where the heat is trapped. The trapped heat warms the air which warms the seas. Warmer seas cause massive ice shelves to break off in the Arctic and Antarctic.
|Eroding Glaciers Credit: Raurek Kaphaira
With millions of tons of ice breaking off and melting, sea levels are rising.
Just today, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) climatechange2013.org released their 6th report on global warming. The results are consistent with the Panel's first report in 1990 but with far more detail and accuracy. Humans, are the main cause of global warming since the 1950s, due to fossil fuel emissions and other greenhouse gases. Using 45 different models that are far more accurate than ever before, the impact and future of our coastlines and climate are detailed in this report and the results are grim.
- Rising sea levels cause water levels to increase and invade coastlines, leading to flooding and beach erosion.
- There is a threat of extinction of animals and plant life living in cold climates, such as the polar bear and penguins.
- Rising sea levels cause beach erosion, threatening homes and businesses built on the coastline,
- Coastal recreation, such as surfing, is in jeopardy if beaches disappear.
But here's the statistic that made my stomach turn: During the 21st century, it is predicted that the sea will rise nearly 2 1/2 feet and continue to do so.
|A Future NYC? Credit: Maria Stenzel
Sea levels are rising at a more rapid rate than ever before and where all this leads is to the very real possibility of places we know as our own- from Manhatten to the Hamptons to the Connecticut shoreline, one day being under water.
Shored Up is a documentary that examines hard questions about our coastal communities and our relationship to the land: What will a rising sea do to our homes, our businesses, and the survival of our communities? Can we afford to pile enough sand on our shores to keep the ocean at bay? This documentary looks at Long Beach Island, New Jersey and the Outer Banks of North Carolina, via interviews with surfers, politicians, scientists and residents as examples of beach rebuilding. It looks at beach engineering and wonders if this is the only, or best, solution. It's a compelling piece and well worth an hour of time and bucket of popcorn.

Internet Evangelism
Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ
Bill Bright went to be with Jesus in 2003; he was the founder and leader of Campus Crusade for Christ. That year, the organisation had 26,000 full-time staff and more than 225,000 trained volunteer staff in 191 countries - in areas representing 99.6% of the world's population.
The Jesus Film
The 'Jesus' film, made in 1979, was conceived by Bright and funded through Campus Crusade for Christ. It is the most widely translated and viewed film in the world. During the period 1980-2003, the film has been translated into 812 languages and viewed or listened to by 5.5 billion people in 236 countries, virtually every country of the world. "Gone with the Wind" (1939 American Civil War epic) is the second most translated film with only 35 translations!
The Jesus film annual budget is $38 million (2004), which is made up from sponsorship and charitable donations. Campus Crusade for Christ intends to translate the film into every known language of the world. In 2004 there were about one billion people who could not read and another one billion who are semi-illiterate - those who attended school but still can't read. However, those who cannot read can still watch television, which has the ability to seduce, by the power of moving images and music; it helps make a story become reality, a tangible experience.
More than two billion people have actually seen the Jesus film, whether on video, TV, a laptop or viewed via a projector. Using a generator, the power of 'television' can be seen in the remotest village in any area of the world.
The Challenge
Bill Bright said on one occasion "My brothers and sisters in Christ, we have been bought with a price: the blood of the holy Creator, God of the universe. We are called by God to maintain our first love, to obey His commands to love others, and to tell others how much He loves and cares for them. The God-man, Jesus of Nazareth, has commissioned us to help take His gospel to the end of the earth. Let us fulfil the Great Commission…"
Bill Bright lived for Jesus, he wanted to see the fulfilment of the Great Commission – he never strayed from that heavenly vision. He said that when he got up each morning, he evaluated all the potential activities of that day based on the question: "Will it help fulfil the Great Commission?" He was a workaholic for Jesus until the end. He was never concerned about dying and always said it was a "win-win" situation for him. He said, "If I stay, I will continue to be able to serve my Lord, and if I leave, I will be with Him." For most of his life, he signed every piece of correspondence with these words: "Yours for fulfilling the Great Commission in this generation."

NLM Mourns the Loss of Faye G. Abdellah, former Deputy Surgeon General and NLM Board of Regents member (ex-officio)
Deputy Surgeon General Faye G. Abdellah, RN, MA, EdD, died on February 24, 2017, at the age of 97.
Dr. Abdellah was a nurse, educator, and deputy surgeon general of the Public Health Service. She served as the U.S Surgeon General's alternate ex-officio member of the Board of Regents of the National Library of Medicine from 1972-1989.
Her accomplishments include being the first nurse and woman to serve as Deputy Surgeon General of the United States (1981-1989), the highest ranked woman and nurse in the Federal Nursing Services when she achieved the rank of Rear Admiral, and the founder and first dean of the Graduate School of Nursing at the Uniformed Service University of Health Sciences.
As possibly the longest serving member of the NLM Board, Dr. Abdellah gave presentations that updated board members on many public health issues, including smoking, pediatric AIDS, and drunk driving. She contributed to Board policies that shaped NLM programs and services and to the NLM Long-Range Plan for 1986-2006.
Dr. Abdellah was recognized internationally for her contributions to nursing research. She was known for creating a typology of 21 areas of focus for nurses, divided into three classes: physical, sociological and emotional needs of the patient; types of nurse-patient interpersonal relationships; and common elements of patient care.
She advocated for nursing education to be research based, for nurses teaching self-care to patients, and an interdisciplinary approach to care.
Dr. Abdellah was adamant about the need for education based on science very early in her career. When she first taught nursing students at Yale University, she was so frustrated with the National League of Nursing guidelines because they had no scientific basis that she burned a stack of their curriculum guides in the Yale Courtyard. She told the Journal of Nursing Scholarship that it took her a year to pay for the books she burned.
In 2000 during her National Women's Hall of Fame acceptance speech, Dr. Abdellah said, "We cannot wait for the world to change .… Those of us with intelligence, purpose, and vision must take the lead and change the world…. I promise never to rest until my work has been completed!"
A collection of Dr. Abdellah's papers was donated to NLM in 1988.

Since its founding in 1836, the National Library of Medicine https://www.nlm.nih.gov has played a pivotal role in translating biomedical research into practice and is a leader in information innovation. As one of the 27 Institutes and Centers at the National Institutes of Health, NLM advances research in biomedical informatics and data science and is the world's largest medical library. Millions of scientists, health professionals and the public use NLM services every day.

The Daily Star
Polling staff turn out before Sunday's vote
Ghinwa Obeid| The Daily Star
BEIRUT/SIDON: Hundreds of polling station employees cast their ballots Thursday, days ahead of the country's first parliamentary elections in nine years. Polls opened at 7 a.m. for the over 14,800 employees registered to vote in centers nationwide to give them a chance to cast their ballot ahead of the general public Sunday, when they will be working to facilitate the electoral process.
The Daily Star headed to a warehouse operated by the Beirut Municipality that served as a polling center for the Beirut I and Beirut II districts. Some 829 people were registered to cast their ballots at the station – one of three in the capital.
The state-run National News Agency reported Thursday evening that 74 out of 85 registered voters cast their ballot in Beirut I – an 87 percent turnout. It added that 652 voters had cast their ballot out of 744 registered in Beirut II, again making a turnout of 87 percent.
With one station assigned for the 85 registered voters for Beirut I, the process was smooth and queues were only three people long around midmorning. "The turnout is very good. Nothing has gone wrong and there have been no faults," Ghassan Ezzeddine, head of the polling station in Beirut I, told The Daily Star.
"The elections are going excellently. They have studied the law, we were given instructions that we followed, and we committed to the memos that were issued."
As Ezzeddine was speaking, a voter came in. She was asked for her ID card and her name was called out aloud. She was then given a preprinted ballot with the lists competing for the district and stepped inside the voting booth.
Nicolas, a high school teacher, had come to vote after work.
"There are several reasons why I came to vote. Previously I wasn't really aware of who the candidates were and I submitted a blank ballot," he said. "This is the first time I am actually voting and our hope is for a bit of change in the country."
However, mere meters away in another room, a long queue of voters snaked outside the entrance of the Beirut II polling station.
Two rooms were allocated to accommodate the district's 744 voters, an arrangement that didn't please those waiting in the long lines.
"The process was very slow," said 42-year-old Sawsan, who didn't give her last name. "I don't know why this has happened, but I stood for two hours before I got to vote. The voters took a lot of time to cast the ballot and it took time for polling stations heads to find the names within the many [sheets of] paper."
Sawsan, who works at the Finance Ministry, was concerned that she wasn't going to get back to the office on time and lose a workday.
But she insisted on voting in what will be her first parliamentary elections. She too is hoping for change.
"I was [hesitant] at the beginning, and I have lost hope of [any change] but it is a step that I had to take," she said.
Another voter expressed her frustration with the situation, saying that it was "a Lebanese thing to be disorganized." She expressed concern that when the public votes on May 6, the same disorderly queues and issues would occur nationwide.
"We've been standing for two hours," another voter complained. "They could have divided it between men and women to reduce traffic."
Heads of both polling stations, however, downplayed voters' complaints, saying things were running smoothly. "There is no delay," said Ahmad al-Hajj Shehadeh, the head of one of the two polling stations.
"Everything has been going fine. Most of them [the voters] are teachers and they were trained on how the law works, so there are no issues."
The head of the second Beirut II polling station explained the most time-consuming part of the process had been waiting for voters to fold their ballot and place it in the envelopes to be posted in the ballot box. The atmosphere in the polling station was calm, with monitors from the political parties keeping an eye on the process under the scrutiny of observers from the Lebanese Association for Democratic Elections.
Several local media outlets reported that a polling station in Nabatieh ran into a problem when 300 ballots filled the box with no room for more votes.
A source at the Interior Ministry denied Sunday's elections would face the same hurdles, saying that ballot boxes are made to international standards and would fit between 400 and 500 envelopes each.
Despite the incident, no major problems were recorded elsewhere across the country. The pace of the turnout picked up in the afternoon as official working hours ended. In the south, the electoral process at the Sidon Serail went smoothly, under the supervision of south Lebanon Gov. Mansour Daou. – Additional reporting by Mohammed Zaatari

Jillian's in town for a few days to create wonderful things with me. Four days ago, I played Santa to about 10 kids I didn't know. Yes, with the red suit and the beard and the wig and hat and the ho ho ho. More on that another time. Morgan's home again. Yea! Still preparing for the February gallery show at Echo. Still redesigning the web site. Almost there on that one. Can't wait to make it live!
Yesterday Jillian and I shot a nice set of her in a little pink sweater and black furry boots. Even though I've been shooting in this space since May, I enjoy coming up with corners and walls and changing up areas to make each session not feel like they were all shot here. I think I managed to find another one yesterday.
And, at the risk of this entry getting a little nerdy, it was also the last shoot with my first digital camera, my Nikon D100. I knew the day I bought it, it would not be with me the rest of my life the way my Hasselblad and my Nikon F3 film cameras will be. The technology was just getting going and shortcuts were taken in order to keep the price in this solar system. And even though the camera served me fairly well and I made some absolutely stunning images with it, those shortcuts were starting to show up in some of the more detail oriented fashion work that I was doing.
So after much internal debate, I not only bought a new digital camera, but I also switched teams. I've been a serious Nikon shooter for almost 15 years. I love the lenses I've acquired over the years. I love that those cameras have been all over the world with me. But on the digital side, Nikon has been falling behind Canon. I patently watched the past few years, hoping that the leapfrog game that Nikon and Canon often play with each other would eventually give Nikon the advantage, but I just got tired of waiting.
So a few months shy of three years with the D100, it is being retired. A shame really since just yesterday I used my 1969 vintage Hasselblad 500C to shoot Jillian. It's almost 40 years old and takes the most beautiful images. It is a perfect example of simple brilliant design that is as valid today as when NASA started taking those cameras to the moon the same year mine was crafted.
Same with my Nikon F3. Younger in that it was born in 1983, but still takes the most amazing images. It was the last Nikon that I would call a fully manual camera. No auto focus, and just a rudimentary light meter. But it's never failed me. Something I can't say for some of the other more electronic, computer-driven cameras I've owned over the years. I've had the opportunity to upgrade my 35mm film cameras quite often in the last few years, but I keep coming back to the solid reliability of the F3. It was with that camera that I really learned how to be a photographer. It's a trusted friend I'll have forever.
Which brings me back to the new kid on the block. The Canon D5. Switching to Canon I would liken to a baseball player switching to football in that all my tools are suddenly unusable. The Nikon lenses, batteries, chargers, adapters, extenders, all had to be replaced with Canon. So it was no small decision. In a few hours I'll have a better idea of the leap I've made here, but after coming home last night after dinner with Jillian and pouring over the new manual while she worked on her website, I feel like the shortcuts that have been hounding me with the D100 will be distant memories. The camera feels good in my hands and even though it will be a little distracting trying to make art with an untested and unfamiliar tool today, I feel very good about it. I feel like I've been cramming all night for a major test. I hope I remember all the answers.
But when it comes to making beautiful images, if I can just remember to turn my brain off and shoot with my heart, I should be just fine! The photographs you see here are some of the last D100 images. Not a bad way to go out before getting fired. Sorry D100. I enjoyed the ride, but I've outgrown you now. Happy New Years Eve Eve Eve!
