By Erica Sharron
Your freshman year of college is often considered to be the first big step towards your future. This is the year when you get everything started, finish your general education requirements, and pave the way toward your major. If you're like some honors students, you probably took AP and dual enrollment classes for the GPA boost in high school. While that allows you to test the waters, it doesn't usually give you the full picture of what a university will be like. College is more than just the class and the corresponding assignment; it's all the walking, working, planning and stressing in between. It can get really overwhelming at times. I had a pretty good idea of what to expect my freshman year, but even so, there are some things that I really just wish I had known sooner.
- Write That Stuff Down (Seriously, Write it ALL Down)
I know this sounds a little ridiculous, but between attending class, working, driving, sleeping and basically functioning in everyday life, you can forget a lot of things. Get yourself a tough little notebook and make plans. Keep a schedule. Jot down important due dates and appointment times. Remind yourself to run by Student Services or scribble down a quick notice about shifting your lunch time because you have to meet with a professor after class. Some things are easier to forget than others, so if you have any doubts, write it down.
- Maintain Constant Vigilance
Don't let your guard down for even a second. A lot of classes have open due dates, but DO NOT put the assignment off until the day before it's due. More than likely, you'll end up with a few other assignments due on the same day. Read the directions to every assignment thoroughly, and then read them again. If a professor mentions reading quizzes, it's in your best interests not to take that lightly. They usually mean it. If your class has an eLearning component, it may be possible to keep track of assignments and due dates via updates there in addition to any email reminders that your professor may be kind enough to send out. Your classmates can also be a source of information, as well.
- Your Student Email is Your Friend
Seriously, check your UWF email account daily. It is very important and often the most convenient line of communication for both staff and student body. Group projects will always be a thing, no matter how old you get. I would recommend adding your student Gmail account to whatever email app you have on your phone.
- Find Something to Look Forward To
Here's the thing: Life can be a total drag sometimes, and it can get to the point where it's really difficult to find the energy to do even the most basic of things. So if you can, find something that makes you happy about the day. Do you enjoy Florida's terribly unpredictable and ever-shifting weather patterns? Take happiness from the sun showers and the thunderstorms. Are you excited to finally wear shorts and shirts that are outside of your old high school's dress code regulations? (I know I sure was!) Do you love what you're majoring in? Are you passionate about a playing a sport or an instrument? Are you simply ready to break out into a new world and leave the past behind? Take strength from that and knowing you can do anything.
- Take Care of Yourself
Whenever I was feeling particularly useless, my freshman roommate liked to remind me that everyone has a different 100 percent. For some people, that means taking a million internships, running for SGA, being an Honors representative and basically a classroom god. For other people, that simply means keeping up with your classes and spending the rest of your time resting in your dorm room. Both of those are completely okay. The Health Clinic on campus offers mental health checks if you're worried about your depression or anxiety interfering with your ability to function. A lot of the RA's and even students your own age are more than willing to help you through any sort of crisis you may be facing.
More than anything, just keep going. Take a deep breath, hold your head up and ask for help when you need it!

There are a number of therapies possible after breast cancer surgery. Which one is right for you? A new study gives a surprising answer.
After a lumpectomy to remove early stage estrogen receptor positive (ER+) tumors, it's common for doctors to use radiation. Now researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have announced that this treatment isn't necessary after all. Tamoxifen alone is sufficient to prevent a recurrence, they say. But how good was this study? And what do these results mean for you?
First of all, all of the study participants were women over the age of 70, so the results may not apply to you — especially if you're premenopausal. As I've told you numerous times before, the older you are, the slower everything grows — including tumors.
Half of the women in this study took Tamoxifen alone. The other half took Tamoxifen along with radiation. The researchers followed them for more than 10 years.
There was practically no difference in survival from breast cancer in either group. The women who took Tamoxifen alone had an overall survival rate of 63%. While those who had radiation therapy as well had a survival rate of 61%. This is not statistically significant.
The purpose of radiation after breast surgery is to prevent recurrences, not to keep you alive. And the researchers didn't consider quality of life. Recurrence rates were similar with both therapies. So if survival from breast cancer, and recurrences, are about the same whether or not you get radiation, why risk side effects?
Continued Below...
The answer may shock you…

In fact, if you're over 70, a better question might be whether or not it makes sense to use any therapies with side effects? Why not take PectaSol-C, a modified citrus pectin product that keeps cancer cells from metastasizing? That could prevent a recurrence safely. For more information on PectaSol products and studies go to www.econugenics.com.
Tamoxifen alone or Tamoxifen with radiation aren't your only options. Take time to explore your choices. There may be more than your doctor suggests.

Digital Signatures are required for obtaining Director Identification Number (DIN), Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN), incorporation a company or LLP and filing of IT Returns.
There are three types of Digital Signatures, Class I, Class II and Class III Digital Signature. Class I type of Digital Signatures are only used for securing email communication. Class II type of Digital Signatures are used for Company or LLP Incorporation, IT Return E-Filing, Obtaining DIN or DPIN, and filing other forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Income Tax Department. Class III type Digital Signatures are used mainly for E-Tendering and for participating in E-Auctions. Digital Signatures come in the form of a USB E-Token, wherein the Digital Signature Certificate is stored in a USB Drive and can be accessed through a computer to sign documents electronically.Digital Signature Certificates are usually issued with a validity of one or two years. After the end of its validity, the Digital Signature can be renewed. Digital Signature can be obtained within 2-4 working days of submitting the application in the required format.

A commentary on the case of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, convicted of the murder of 270 people in the Pan Am 103 disaster.
Monday, 24 April 2017
Lockerbie — Pan Am 103: the truth at last?
8 comments:
It's difficult to see how SSCRC can avoid making a further reference, but legal procedures are full of surprises. It's also difficult to see how the Court of Appeal can rule out hearing a third appeal, given the recent ruling.ReplyDelete
Like, I hope, everyone else on here, I hope that we will eventually see the official record corrected, but I doubt that a third appeal will do anything more than that. My suspicion is that the Crown Office will continue to play out the current narrative in the hope that an appeal won't happen, but will concede on technical grounds as soon as it becomes clear that the game is up. That would be the practical course to protect the reputations of some of the players, whom I won't name here. It would close the formal process down permanently, leaving a disgusting fug of guilt over not only Mr Megrahi, but also Libya, Malta and denying closure to the relatives.
I think it's too late for that. I believe that your scenario was the plan for dealing with the second appeal, had it not been abandoned. That appeal was pretty much 95% about the clothes purchase. I think the Crown Office was getting ready to concede the clothes purchase, possibly on technical grounds (Tony Gauci's evidence had to be disallowed because he was bribed), but in fact from what Kenny MacAskill said in his book it looks as if they were prepared to concede it as a factual matter. "The clothes were purchased in Malta, but not by Megrahi."ReplyDelete
Kenny's line on this appears to be simply parroting what he was fed by the Crown Office in 2009 and possibly later. That Megrahi didn't buy the clothes, or may well not have bought the clothes, but nevertheless he was at the airport when the bomb was smuggled on to KM180 so obviously he had something to do with it. That, as you say, would leave a disgusting fug of guilt over both Megrahi and Malta.
However, even at the time it ignored a rather important point. The judges had to decide whether to believe the very tenuous and inferential argument that the bomb suitcase was in tray 8849 in the Frankfurt luggage transfer system, or the evidence pointing to Heathrow (which wasn't negligible even though it wasn't correctly analysed) or even some other idea like a direct Frankfurt insertion. They gave as their reason for preferring the shonky Frankfurt transfer evidence the fact that the man who bought the clothes in the suitcase was at Malta when KM180 took off.
That man, they had decided, was Megrahi, and he was at the airport in Malta at that time. So, Malta it was. But if it has now been decided that Megrahi was not the man who bought the clothes, that argument falls. I don't think any of the people preparing the second appeal actually realised this point, but if you lose the clothes purchase you also lose the Malta ingestion.
Now, however, we're a lot further on. The re-analysis of the forensic evidence shows beyond any reasonable doubt that the bomb was already in the container at Heathrow an hour before the connecting flight from Frankfurt landed. Therefore it couldn't possibly have been in tray 8849. Therefore it was not carried on KM180. Therefore Megrahi's presence at the airport becomes non-incriminating. Indeed, it becomes exculpatory, because it gives him an alibi for the actual time and place of the introduction of the bomb.
Instead of being in a position where they can concede the clothes purchase and acknowledge that without that the conviction merely cannot be regarded as safe (while still implying that they were right all along), they are now in a position where they will have to acknowledge that the entire Lockerbie investigation was up a gum tree from about day nine. That detectives chased a red herring down a blind alley while wilfully ignoring clear and compelling evidence that would have pointed them in the right direction.
The key is the Heathrow introduction, and I fervently hope that the new appeal is going to pursue that part for all it's worth. Foggy, implied guilt on the balance of probabilities isn't going to survive that.Replies
Well said Rolfe.Your logic is impecable. Great pity that people in the legal profession are not capable of showing such logic but then they have their orders to follow and that requires maintaining Megrahi's guilt at all costs.Delete
They have refused to refer for a second time quite a few times now including the recent Graham Gordon V SCCRC (UKSC)ReplyDelete
They are not bound by any laws which is perverse.
They bragged at their 10 year conference that a case they were looking into was a stone walled certainty to win an appeal but Peter Duff said they refused to refer it because they knew he was guilty such is their powers in Scotland.
Zellick from the English CCRC said single commissioners decide cases in England but in Scotland applicants are never told who has decided their applications.
Do single commissioners decide cases in Scotland also ?
Who knows.
I suggest it is perverse for arguable and competent grounds to be rejected because surely this is what the appeal courts need to overturn convictions.
I would also suggest the need for finality might also come into play in any appeal not only to SCCRC but the appeal courts have rejected appeals on this ground (Carberry) and refused to even hear the grounds.
Out of interest can anyone tell us what the interests of justice test consists of ?Replies
The statutory requirement that the SCCRC consider the need for finality and certainty in determining whether an appeal is in the interests of justice (introduced in 2010) ceased to exist on 17 January 2017, when section 96 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 was brought into force. On the same date the power of the High Court to refuse to hear a SCCRC reference on the ground of the need for finality and certainty was also abolished. So it's doubtful if the cases that you mention are any longer a useful guide as to how the interests of justice test will now be interpreted and applied. A better guide may now be the pre-2010 cases.Delete
That's good to hear. I'm pleased to see you're fairly up-beat about the current situation.Delete

This coming Sunday we will gather with Christians from other churches to worship God together in our annual community worship service.
This practice of Christians from different traditions gathering together developed in the twentieth century and is therefore rather new to the Church. Prior to that time Christ's from different church bodies largely kept to themselves and were even antagonistic.
Some refer to this coming together as "ecumenism" or "inter-denominationalism." There are still Christians who reject such "fellowship." Even so, every church participating has some kind of conditions or boundaries to their participation.
Over the last while the Elders and I have been talking about such "boundaries." Specifically, our conversation has revolved around who can preach and administer the sacraments in our congregation and who cannot.
Our Lutheran Confessions state that …no one should publicly teach in the Church or administer the Sacraments unless he be regularly called (Augsburg Confession Article XIV). What this means is that only a pastor called by the congregation can serve as preacher and presider or if unavailable, the preacher/presider must be ordained in a church body that accepts the Lutheran Confessions as normative.
In my almost 30 years of ministry I have seen the church offer greater protection to the administration of the Lord's Supper than to either baptism or preaching. We are willing to let almost anyone into the pulpit, but for some reason keep tight reigns on who stands behind the altar.
Why should the Lord's Supper be more protected? I really don't have a good answer to that question except that I think that such a practice makes the Lord's Supper into something magical and mysterious, the very thing the Reformers opposed.
In contrast to this practice our Confession of Faith limits who can step into the pulpit and preach and who can administer Baptism and the Lord's Supper in order to maintain a pure proclamation of the Gospel: that through Christ's life, death and resurrection God has extended the grace of forgiveness, life and salvation to all who would believe this incredible promise.
You may ask, "Isn't that the gospel all Christians believe? Isn't that what every Christian preacher proclaims?" The answer to these questions is both yes and no.
Sometimes it is proclaimed, but then quickly neutralized by the "BUT" of the law's attempt to get us to do something for our salvation. At other times I have head preachers emphasized only morality or various kinds of "self-help" advice.
The reality is that every church sets up boundaries, not to say "we're right and they're wrong," but to confess the faith God has called them to proclaim and live. This is healthy and good.
It is also good to have opportunities like this coming Sunday, to meet together with other Christians to worship the Triune God. Someone will be invited to preach there and as you listen to the message ask yourself, "Was the gospel proclaimed?" If so, thanks be to God.
Paul declares our unity in these words:
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. – Ephesians 4:4-6
One day we will all be gathered together under God's reign, but until then each Christian community will seek to be faithful to their confession, their understanding of baptism and the Lord and Father of us all.
– Pastor Tim

In general, it is much easier for me to be sarcastic or make small comments instead of expressing what I really think and feel. I apologize for ever making you feel bad about yourself when I make comments about wearing makeup or how you dress.
The truth is that I love you girls more than you can understand and to me, you are all amazingly beautiful people. It saddens me to think that for one second you might reduce your beauty down to how good your makeup looks or how nice your clothes look. Your beauty is so much more that your appearance so when I see you put a lot of time and energy into making yourself up I want to remind you that you don't need to do that.
I know it is a cliché but you are beautiful just the way you are. There is nothing wrong with putting your best foot forward and all that as long as you aren't doing it to impress anybody by covering yourself up with makeup and fashion. Also, I want you to attract young men who are interested in you for you, not just for how you look. Unfortunately, my way of communicating this is to say stuff like, "wow, that's a lot of makeup" or "man, those jeans are tight" which I realize can be taken as insults.
True female beauty is way beyond that surface stuff. And on a personal note, I have always liked the 'barely wearing makeup' look better than the 'lots of makeup' look. To me, it just conveys a lot of confidence & class.
All that said, shake your tailfeather girl. Do your best to look your best. Just remember to look your authentic best and don't represent something you're not, just to get attention. You will attract what you advertise.

Capital Sleep and Hearing open in Goulburn
Don't let a hearing loss slow you down.
Hearing loss usually develops almost unnoticeably. Your ability to hear well can gradually worsen until many of the familiar sounds are lost and many situations become too difficult.
Statistics show that 3 million Australians experience some difficulty with their hearing, and after the age of sixty more than 50 per cent will have some degree of hearing loss.
More often than not, years of effortless conversation and clear sound are lost, either because we put off getting help we need, or because we simply may not acknowledge our hearing loss. So our world can become quieter as all the softer sounds of life fade.
Without realising it we use more and more energy just to listen. But despite the extra effort, misunderstandings become more frequent.
In the past, many of us would just put up with hearing loss because old-fashioned hearing aids were uncomfortable to use and had annoying side effects. That's no longer the case.
Hearing instruments have come a long way in the past few years. Modern hearing instruments use digital technology. They are smart, sophisticated and comfortable to use and can be individually tuned to suit your personal lifestyle.
Research also shows that the majority of those using hearing instruments wished they had acted much sooner. The testing process is fast, easy and painless. In the vast majority of cases, there is a straightforward solution to help you hear better.
Capital Hearing uses a concept to let you hear these features for yourself. In order to be able to demonstrate the benefit modern solutions, Capital Hearing utilises an innovative technique which allows you to trial, or road test, advanced hearing aids and experience the difference they make.
Capital Sleep and Hearing has commenced practice in Goulburn, conveniently located at 95 Bourke Street, and is offering free hearing instrument trials and free hearing screenings.
Appointments can be made by phoning (02) 4821 8122.
Capital Sleep and Hearing also offers the following ongoing services:
- Free complete hearing assessments to all seniors and over 60s as part of over 60s health assessments.
- Free hearing assessments for all pensioners and DVA card holders as part of the Commonwealth Hearing Services Program.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring the government to study Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) and ways that costs of offering retirement plans can be reduced for smaller employers. So reports CNBC. RMDs require distributions to start when individuals reach age 70 ½ and are based on mortality tables established in 2002.

This is one of my favorite Vermeer paintings. The character here reminds me of Howard Roark or Equality 7-2521.
Like "The Art of Painting" this painting was at one time owned by the Nazis. I recently read that they stamped a swastika on the back and I am dying to know if it is still there. I'm sure it would have been small, but that is still strange.

Her home life implodes, and work soon follows suit before long, she s broke, drinking too much and falling for a client of questionable innocence. And then she is faced with the most serious trial of her life, when a disgruntled defendant comes back to haunt her, threatening everything that she holds dear…

The Hand in the Glove
8:00 pm 31 July 2009
Rex Stout is best known for his iconic Nero Wolfe character, but he also created the female detective Theodolinda "Dol" Bonner, who came to being in the standalone novel "The Hand in the Glove" in 1937, one of the very first female private eyes.
Although Stout only gave Bonner one solo outing, she also guest-starred in some of the Nero Wolfe stories, one of the few women Wolfe tolerated perhaps because she herself claimed to have been "inoculated against" men, even her suitor, the newspaperman Len Chisholm. Although The Hand in the Glove is a contemporary of the Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin titles, it was written in the third person narrative, not Archie's sarcastic first-person. Even so, it still has some of the hallmark wit that graces the Wolfe/Goodwin novels.
In the book, a religious charlatan has charmed the wife of wealthy industrialist, P.L. Storrs, who decides he needs a private investigator to look into the man and hires Bonner, even though he doesn't approve of female detectives. But when she arrives at Storrs' country estate, she instead finds the body of her client and a garden party filled with a bouquet of suspects.
Bonner isn't quite the fully realized, tough-as-nails P.I. of the 21st century, sending out mixed messages about her ability to do the job as a woman, perhaps mirroring the changing-but-still-traditional views of women in Stout's day. Bonner begins the novel as part of a two-woman firm, Bonner and Raffray, although the Raffray half soon dissolves, Bonner being disgusted about Raffray's submissiveness to her fiancée.
Yet, Bonner concedes she herself decided to be a detective on flimsy grounds, adding, "I made a long list of all the activities I might undertake on my own. They all seemed monotonous or distasteful except two or three, and I flipped a coin to decide between detective and landscape design." Although she's a smart cookie and solves the crimes where the male detectives in the case don't, she's also squeamish about seeing corpses and faints after she shoots a criminal.

Our Kubik is 59 cm long already and his weight is 4820 grams. Can you believe it?

Thank you for looking and don´t forget to come back soon for a freebie

I have been looking at this book for a while now, but I never thought that it was worth picking up. I was right. This book is really strange, the whole time reading it, it feels like it is trying to be something that it is not. The story is boring until the end, where it is just a little bit less boring. The idea seems like it could be interesting, but the way the story takes it, it is not. This book is about a girl who is recruited to a finishing school. The thing is, this finishing school is not like the others, it is not just training girls to become ladies, but to become spies. This book reminded me of The Steampunk Chronicles.

With the ice fishing slowing to a crawl I am hoping to give Porcupine a try this Sunday. I did a drive by last weekend and there was a good bit of water opening up, at least enough to make me want to give it a try.
Just wondering if anyone here has given it a try this year. This will be my first time fishing it right after ice off and any input or advice from current or previous experience with these conditions would be much appreciated.

Author: Law Office of Sidney Weinstein
It can be a mistake to underestimate the attention you should give to non-moving auto accidents. Even if the other vehicle is moving at a low speed, victims can endure the same, physical, financial and emotional losses as those in automobiles also moving at the time of the accident. The police should always be called to the scene. Don't let the other driver talk you out of calling 911 – even if someone hits your parked car. You need the officer's documentation and affirmation of the collision.
Here are some examples of non-moving auto accidents, along with advice on how an Atlanta personal injury attorney can help victims get justice.
Parking Lot Crashes
Especially with how congested Atlanta has become, even your parked car is a target for damage for the inattentive or careless driver. Whether in a multilevel parking garage, pay lot or open air shopping center lot, you might remain unaware of the damage until much later. As you approach your car in a parking lot, be attentive for obvious signs of damage. Some may even choose to walk around their car before getting in to leave. Even more careful drivers make note of the license plates around them that may seem likely to cause your car damage while you are away.
If you notice damage and the person at fault has left the scene or failed to leave a note, report the damage to the management of the lot and inquire about videotape to track down the offender. If the damage is extensive and you have a high deductible and management is uncooperative, you may need to seek the assistance of an attorney to obtain the video. Unfortunately, if the person causing the damage just drove away, you may be stuck using your own insurance – thus giving you a good example of why you should have proper coverage for just such an event.
Parallel Parking Rear End Collisions
Ah, there is the perfect parking slot. You stop the car, switch into reverse and prepare to parallel park. Suddenly, a distracted or speeding driver comes out of nowhere causing a rear end collision. This type of collision can be troublesome depending on at exactly which point in the process of parallel parking the collision took place. Look around for witnesses and encourage them to wait for the police to report what they saw. Most times you are twisted in your seat to look behind you, and the force of the impact may have caused more personal injury because of the position of your body. You may not feel the effects at the time, but like in other rear-end collisions, the onset of pain can be delayed. You will have to use your good judgment whether you need to seek medical care from the scene or wait until the next day to see if you need medical attention.
Traffic Signal, Crosswalk and Stop Sign Accidents
Despite warnings and ordinances, some drivers still engage in mobile phone conversations and texting. Distracted, they can rear end a car stopped at a light, crosswalk or road sign.
Many times, these type of collisions can be more harmful to you because you are at a complete stop while being attentive to what is going on in front of your car. Most drivers only pay attention to that small area in the front of their auto. Always be aware of what is approaching from behind when coming to or at a standstill in accordance with road rules. This advice is especially important at crosswalks because many Georgians have little respect for pedestrians. They may not expect a motorist in front of them to follow the law and stop for those on foot.
As in other rear-end collisions, call 911, encourage witnesses to stay at the scene, take pictures before the cars move from their position at the scene, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Rush Hour Traffic Jam Problems
Another variation of standing still accidents is those caused by the frustration and inattentiveness during traffic jams. Anyone who uses the highways of Atlanta during rush hour already knows the metro area has some of the worst traffic congestion in the nation. Commuters spend hours starting and stopping as they slowly progress from home to the workplace or vice versa.
Anxiety can cause some to take unnecessary risks. They want to speed into a suddenly available gap, ignoring the fact that another vehicle is approaching. While trying to beat the oncoming traffic, they slam into the car sitting in the lane before them. The driver behind you is looking at their phone while inching forward and doesn't properly judge the distance or register your brake lights.
As in other collisions, call 911, encourage witnesses to stay at the scene, take pictures before the cars move from their position at the scene, if safe, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Get Professional Legal Advice if Hit While Not Moving
Drivers and passengers are more vulnerable when hit while stopped because they have an unjustified feeling of safety. Their bodies, when in this mindset, can absorb more of the effect of the impact because they are unprepared for the collision. The result can be a swinging of the neck back-and forth and injury at the points where the seat belt restrains you. Victims can experience internal damage to the soft tissues of the head, neck, back and shoulders from a motion commonly known as whiplash. Most violent collisions can cause more extensive damages.
It is important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney at the Law Office of Sidney Weinstein, 24/7, at 404-522- 3108, about any auto accident in which you have been involved. Never allow insurance companies and negligent motorists try to downplay the seriousness of these collisions. We can come to you at your home or any of the Atlanta, Georgia area hospitals including Grady Memorial Hospital and Atlanta Medical Center.

Ritz and Ryan see the children playing in the garden they wonder where their bacchapan went. Ritz smiles at his words and says "Chalo lets do some art work". Ryan nodes and joins her while doing the art work Ritz sees Ryan engrossed in painting and slashing red colour on him that makes him angry .Ryan yelled at Ritz bacchpana and left his painting as it is and went out of house. As he comes down the staircase he pushes his little daughter down that causes injury in her leg. Once after reaching the ground floor of the building he sees his daughter fallen down near the staircase he immediately rushes her to a nearby nursing home but Ritz's daughter did not like him as Ryan got into another with her mother. Few days later when Ritz requested her daughter to forgive her husband Ryan's mistake she happily does it and enjoy life to fullest with a protective shield around her i.e. her father
Still after 20 years the guilt of having hurt his daughter just because of his uncontrollable temper still eats him up though his daughter has forgiven him for this mistake over and over. That makes Ritz very proud of daughter and the way in which she has brought her up (Parverish)
With Lots of Love and Hugs

U.S. Department of Art & Technology
TEL-SPAN Begins Live 24/7 Broadcasting
WASHINGTON, DC - The US Department of Art & Technology has activated TEL-SPAN Live 24/7 - the telematic channel providing global access to the artistic process in an increasingly cybernated society. The channel's first program is Department Works, Mixologies, and Transformations featuring politically-infused, socially-engaged music-videos by staff members and artist-associates of the US Department of Art & Technology. According to Kevin Teixeira, Director of US DAT's Office of Micro-Technology and Virtual Realities, "We project our illusions of the world into this formless void and it comes back to us as light and sound."
From August 22nd to October 6th, TEL-SPAN is broadcasting live from the Digital Media Center at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, in conjunction with the Department's Visitor Center at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
Among TEL-SPAN's first offerings is the Pharmakopolis Broadcasting Services (PBS) of Trace Reddell (Director of the Bureau of Pharmakogeographical Surveying), an ongoing series of animated political cartoons, amazing dope tales, and detourned superheroics. Other Department artists include: Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky (Under Secretary for the Bureau of the Aesthetic Hyperculture), whose 9-11 Saturation Engine, in collaboration with "47," immerses the viewer in hypnotic media-driven imagery in which new meanings are constructed on top of the ruins of the media's strafing; Rick Silva (Director of the Joint Chiefs of Sound Warfare and Peer-to-Peer Defense) has curated Overdub: The Remix of Politics, featuring cut-up works of his own along with artist-associates Edo, Atmo, Haik Hoisingtom, Coup, and Tim Jaeger; Andy Deck (Under Secretary of the Bureau for the Transformation and Radicalization of Corporate Culture and Militarism) presents Ad Infinitum, a fast-paced visual experience involving the collision of expression, advertising and promotion; Alex Galloway (Under Secretary of the Bureau for Rhizomatics, Community & Generative Data) exploits bugs and glitches in the code to create dirty, jolting game loops in RSG-THPS4; and Patrick Lichty (Director of the Bureau for the Dissemination of Metastructures and Media Metaphors) puts Socks, former President Clinton's cat, in the center of the Lewinsky sex scandal with Haymarket's Riot Machine: - The Engines of Truth.
Citizens of the nation and around the world have an appetite for the
kind of high quality, socially relevant, 24/7 public affairs programming
TEL-SPAN provides," said Randall M. Packer, Secretary of the US
Department of Art & Technology. "TEL-SPAN provides media artists
who seek to influence the national discourse, public policy, the political
process and the future of art a direct conduit to its audience without
filtering or otherwise constraining their points of view."
The Department acknowledges Drazen Pantic and the Open Source Streaming Alliance for providing Quicktime Streaming for TEL-SPAN broadcasting, and Joan Freedman, Director of the JHU Digital Media Center, and Joe Reinsel, principal software designer of TEL-SPAN, for overseeing the live broadcast.
US Department of Art & Technology
The US Department of Art and Technology is the United States principal conduit for facilitating the artist's need to extend aesthetic inquiry into the broader culture where ideas become real action. It also serves the psychological and spiritual well-being of all Americans by supporting cultural efforts that provide immunity from the extension of new media technologies into the social sphere.
The Experimental Party
The Experimental Party - the "party of experimentation" - is an artist-based political party that has been formed to activate citizens across the country in an effort to bring the artists' message to center stage of the political process. This is a political awakening, 'representation through virtualization' is the major political thrust of the Experimental Party, it is the driving force. The Principal Artists are Roberta Breitmore (created by Lynn Hershman), Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Jeff Gates, Abe Golam (from Mark Amerika's Grammatron), Jon Henry (Exquisite Corpse), Randall Packer, and Wesley Smith.

At last. I'm going to calm down and get some sleep. It's been a while since I wasn't bored. Now I'm just sitting there. I was checking some uses of the verb play. I particularly liked the ''play gooseberry'' one.
Surprisingly, I'm a lot better than a few days ago. I've even went to the gym two times in a week! But, the hell. I'm very moody. There are many times when I can't stand anything and anyone (with brief exceptions) and the next minute I'm almost fine again.
Whatever works. I guess I'll be fine. What we need is some time to think carefully. And it really, really, really could happen. The days they seem to fall from me.
And I let them go.

Sunday Outlook: Oil prices end the week higher
Oil prices extended gains on Friday as investors were concerned at the end of the week about the possibility of Western military action in Syria and as ongoing production cuts led by OPEC supported prices.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) signaled on Friday that markets could become too tight if supply remains restrained.

June 21, 2009
My summer adventure begins tomorrow. Well, I guess it begins now since I'm packing up for it. Man, can I just tell you that I never seem to know what to pack, even if I've been to where I'm going? Actually, I'm taking a detour so I suppose this time is different.
Tomorrow afternoon, I'm helping my college, former co-RD's/laborers in ministry, and life long friends (Dave & Tricia) drive out to Florida. I'm not too sure what the actual game plan is but last I heard, we're going to stop at the Grand Canyon for the evening, then make drive out to Texas, spend a few days there where Tricia's parents live. Dave and I will then drive only one of the cars (there's 2 cars between the 3 of us – they're having a moving company move there stuff) from Texas to Florida. So, our plan is to pull into Jacksonville, Florida (final destination) by Sunday, June 28th. Then I'll spend that evening, Monday and Tuesday morning with Dave and help get their stuff settled in. Tricia will stay in Texas and wait for Dave to fly back and then he'll make that drive again with Tricia and the other car. I'll fly out from Jacksonville on my way to New Delhi India.
I fly from Florida to DC, then to Munich, Germany Wednesday morning, spend 12 hours there (and explore – ideas anyone?), then fly out Wednesday evening and arrive into New Delhi 7am, July 2nd, Thursday morning where I'll be the following 3 weeks.
Until then please be mindful of my visa/passport that's still in process. I'm hoping to get it by the end of this week, here at Master's, then it'll be overnight to some friends already living in Florida. I hope I get it by the 29th of June…
Anyway, I gotta get some more packing finished, then some little logistical things going here.
We'll see you soon!

Birthday thanks/blessings/updates:
- well, like every year, my birthday seems to start a few days early and end a few days later
- gunner took me to chipotle last tuesday (here's your shot out gun 🙂
- my sister deb, emailed me twice (that's always nice for me, i love my sisters)
- mom called me the morning of my birthday, missed it then she called me later and we chatted – she's cute and sweet!
- other sister Dee called me later – had a great conversation with her about life and God
- then tons of people wished me happy birthday on FB
- pete took me to lunch, panda – romantic, i know 🙂 naw, pete's legit – he's a good friend.
- holly left a sweet voicemail
- a few people text
- joe, heidi, pete, dave, kristy, bryan and i went to the great greek (sooo good)
- then guys in the dorm (jackie & laura) had a surprise little celebration, with cookies, ice cream and $100 gift card for itunes – how legit is that? man, they really did a lot for me – i'll let you all know my first purchase will be in a future post.
- lets see, friday mark golike took me to red robin for dinner for my birthday – he's frosh and was a real servant about it.
- then later, the RDs and friends had an awkward party for me, beth catron and jake ebner – seriously, that was the theme. and if you know me, i'm not a big fan of awkward. i either avoid it, ignore it or create it. but this was ridiculous. by the end i was grossed out about it. i was done with it.
- then after that, i saw slumdog (again) with holly, mandy, john and beth. oh, and our friend theodore (i made that name up)- that was fun! theodore sat in front of us and made commentary the entire movie – it was comical!
- saturday, ben and phil took me and beth to egg plantation for our birthdays, mainly because saturday was beth's birthday (and mind you mine was 2 days before that) and ben & phil missed my birthday because they were in WA.
- after that, i hung out with team india and saw slumdog with them (again, and last time til the DVD comes out).
- then saturday, went to luna (some restaurant in hollywood) with beth, bart, amy, laura and isaiah. it was fun, the food was excellent and the ambience was cool.
- oh, then pastor bob wished me a happy birthday 🙂 on sunday… that was special.
okay, so that was kind of dreadful going through again. i guess when you start getting to a certain age, it just doesn't matter as much – i feel like people think i'm still 25, 21 or even 16 or something. however, i am thankful, really i am. i don't mean to sound like i'm complaining. its really humbling to know that people do care and are willing to go to great lengths to make me feel special or to show they care or both. i think i just would prefer to have my birthday be that, a day 🙂 i definitely ate way too much this last week.
thanks to everyone for your kindness and friendship – the Lord has afforded me much with you all! i do hope and pray a year of restoration, refreshment and growth.

Today was my last day of my break. I am so thankful to God for it. Most people do have breaks and I don't think I wasted it. In fact it went by so fast I don't think I had time to waste it.
Christmas was very humbling. I spent it at home in Carson (yes, Carson's still home to me – in fact, home is wherever my family is…blah, blah, I do admitt that I have a family with my friends here in the valley, or in Samoa, or in India with brothers and sisters in the Lord…). Anyway, it was cool because it was me, my mom, my brother Bert and my eldest sister Doreen. Debbie was unable to come out from Samoa. Sad. We had a glass of wine and just toasted with thankgiving the Christmas "holiday" and thanked the Lord, each, for His kindness this last year. It was particularly special because of our family break through this last July.
Our break through was a long awaited family (including Deb) meeting that involved confronting each other, confessing to each other, encouragment, tears, clarification, affirmation, challenge, celebration, understanding, direction and more. It was what the Lord used to remind each of us of hope, grace and communication. It was one of the most reviving times with people that I have every experienced.
Since then my family has been the closest we have ever been. Not free from conflict, we're moved forward with the way we handle it now. No assumptions, no ill feelings just better thinkers of each other.
Well, today was nice. I went to church, so late. It was my fault. Had lunch with the Margraves, Phil and Thomas at Whole Foods. Eric says because he didn't want half foods. It was good. I was craving pinapple anyway and I had tons. Yum! Then came back to the apt, practiced for the recording and Truth & Life, then went to the Margraves to hang out. We watched Barak and ate Beef stew and barley with Holly. It was fun!
Good break. Now its time to work. RDs start up Tuesday, Chapel Band instrumentalists come back that night, then we start recording Wednesday through Saturday. Then rehearsals for TLC start on Sunday through Tuesday. Monday my RAs come back and the chaos begins.
Pray for me and all this.
December 21, 2008
The dorm is empty. Quiet and cold. Calm and peaceful. I'm just about ready for rest. Just a few more loose ends to tie up and I'll be ready to move on.
I've decided that my rest isn't going to be a "break". A break implies that I deserve something and the truth is, I don't. Honestly. Its here and its costing me nothing, so its free. Another significant something that I have not the right to "own" but I will try to make the most of it. I'm thankful for it and don't want to waste it.
I said my good byes to the guys in the dorm and I'm not flooded with misfortunes or joys that have occured during this last semester. I don't think I'm in denial, I just would rather thank God for it. Even the more shameful parts of it, the parts where I thought of myself instead of others. Or the part where I actually served myself instead of others. The magnitude of that weight overwhelms me. Today was I reminded that Jesus gives something lighter in return for my weighted burden of guilt, shame, sin, self-righteousness etc. That was freeing (thanks Sam).
I started making a list (a good one) of books to read (finish Life of Pi, Three Cups of Tea, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Unpacking Forgiveness and Worship Matters (again), and actually started to read them (thought about people who've inspired me to read: Deb, Moni, Sam, Happy, Durso and Joe). I then started to update and keep my budget. I am more than half way through my final project for class (I had to get an extension). I rented 3 movies today and watched one of them. I read some more and thanked the Lord for the assurance of Salvation that I have in His Word, that became flesh.
I purchased gifts for my family – not finished yet. I wrote cards for parents of some of the guys I'm close with in the dorm. God gave me some really good moments writing thoughts out about these guys.
I prayed for a dear friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. I prayed for her husband – then I prayed for the gospel to go forth as a result of this. Then the gospel compelled me to pray more. So, I prayed for another couple who is close to me, who is having another kind of a difficult time. Finally, I prayed for a couple that have been really dear to me, who recently asked me to sing in their wedding in July. Then I thought a long while about these 3 couples and I was full in my heart with such grattitude!
Listened to a song by Matt Wertz, "I Will Not Take My Love Away" and a song by Room For Two entitled "Roots Before Branches". Both powerfully and beautifully inspiring.
The only thing I didn't do that I really wanted to do (and need to do) is run. Bummer. Lord willing, there's tomorrow.
So, in short this is what I want to do with these next two weeks: rest, read, run, pray, watch movies, catch up with whoever and sleep well (ya, that is different from resting; it could include it but it doesn't have to).
December 4, 2008
Yesterday was dorm chapel and long story short it was great. But what I do want to highlight some of the response I received from the mini dorm evaluation I gave the guys to fill out.
First of all, here's why I did this: I wanted to get a better read on how the guys see the dorm and the dorm staff. Though some of their responses provoked a "really?" attitude on my part, it was both challenging and encouraging to read.
Second of all, here are the questions I asked:
Write down 3 woRds to describe our dorm; Write down one thing you enjoy about the dorm; 3 things you think the dorm needs to work on or grow in; 3 words to describe the dorm staff (RD, Ra's, etc.); one thing you enjoy about the staff; 3 things you think the staff needs to work on or grow in.Here are some of the responses to describing the dorm: childish, shallow, prideful, stinky, unified, loud, best, spirited, fun, exciting, elite, relational, obnoxious, loving, energetic, homie (that's right, you read correctly), unity (not unified), happy, comfortable, cliquish, plesant (not pleasant but plesant), clean, dirty, legalistic, power abusive RA's (this guy was not joking, he mentioned it twice on his sheet), atheltic, good looking (seriously?), open/exposed/vulnerable (I guess that's all one word), strict, brotherhood, arrogant, godly, dynasty, integrity, family, changing, growing, jocks etc. Here are responses to what they enjoy about the dorm: Ona (haha), outgoing atmosphere, fellowship, people, community, deep relationships, Hotchkiss Lower Front, Small Groups, my roommate, unity, love & concern, conversations that go deeper to spiritual things, Blakey's support, The Office nights, endless amounts of energy (so true), Apple pie night, etc. Here are responses to what they think the dorm staff needs to work on or grow in: Less curfew (like we have control of that), more involved, don't break rules (now, is this one something we need to do more of or less of), stop by and say hi, reality of life, smelly, not be so quick to confron and not get to know peeps first, no curfew (again, we have no control over that), more community with each other (this guy actually put 'community of brother to build on' as their thing they enjoy about the dorm – I'm confused), spreading time out (now, I had always wished for the power to control time but unfortunetly I don't have that ability), having fun (really?) reaching out to all, just chilling, their abs, the bathroom stalls because I can barely breathe in their (I gotta give this one to this guy, the stalls are tiny – but I don't know if the dorm staff can start construction for that until we receive permission from Bob Hotton), Having events that the staff participates in and not always leads (I think this one's for me – sorry, I'm not 21 anymore), challenge people more (and this guy said that we also need to loosen up on sign-ins…hmm, for real?) be available, getting to know us more (one other guy said that the thing he enjoys most about the dorm was when his door was closed and locked – maybe these two should get together), not being so passive, prayer (yes), more of a personal touch (mmm…I dont' know how to feel about this one), free food (I agree), less fines (I'll make you a deal, less violations=less fines) focus on freshman more, evangelism missional mindsets, humility, impartiality, reverance for God's truth (ouch!), pursuing everyone, nothing (really?), more events, one on ones w/guys who don't get it Caleb (haha…this one was funny – Caleb's an ARA) etc. All in all, I enjoyed reading through this. It was challenging to read how the guys see it and how me and my staff come across. There's probably a lot more reality to it than I think. So, I'm open to it and I want to change. I want to see the need better and apparently, the guys enjoy what they want more of: pursuit, consistency, sincerity, follow through, growth etc. That's what I want as well. Thanks guys, I hope to serve you better and be a better example for the sake of Christ and His kingdom work! We ended our time togehter playing Dodge Ball – Lower Back one again and will be getting a free Christmas dinner on me – so any advise and help to cook for 24 college guys is welcomed!

Tonight Pete Bargas, Andrew Callaway and I hung out. We grabbed some dinner at Wolf Creek (I highly recommend it), grabbed some Starbucks then hung out at Pete's for a moment. It was so refreshing. These guys are so fun to be with and I can't tell you how blessed I was/am to have been a part of their lives. Andrew and I see each other about once a year, even though we live just down the street from each other. That's okay. He was my ARA when I was an RA and we kept in touch through out the years, especially when he moved back to Long Beach and I was back in Carson. Drew's one of those that I can not hang out with for a very long time and we can just jump back into things. Pete see each other 5 days a week. And I still don't get tired of him. It was definitely a duo blessing to talk through life and learn from them, from those moments. They're cool!
Then I walked into Hotchkiss lounge about 10:30pm and Ryan Zamroz was on lounge duty. Ryan's a star basketball player as well as the captain of the basketball team here at Master's. He's also an ARA on one of the wings here in Hotchkiss. Ryan is definitely an encouragment and a young man who's meekness is a clear representation of Christ. He's cool, not because he's a star athlete or because he's GQ, but because he's teachable and does well with so much of what he's been given. Ryan's cool!
Wednesday Seth Cotter visited me for the evening and we spent the next morning catching up and just talking, and talking and talking. It was refreshing to see him and be with him. i've missed my friend Seth. Seth is a former RA of mine and now a good friend. Its nice to keep in touch and meet up and be able to reunite. This got me excited about heaven. That's really cool!
Earlier today, I took my half day and drove up the 126 to where it kind of drops into the 101. Parked in a parking lot, got out and started to walk towards the shore. I walked along the shore for about and hour and then walked back another hour. I read Psalm 96, 51 and Colossians 3. Prayed a lot of thanksgivings to the Lord – there were so many things, people and situations (both good and bad) that I have to be thankful for. I don't remember when I stopped because there was so much. The sky was drenched with textures of clouds. The sun was glissening on the water. There were seaguls (I think that's what they were) that dove into the water, I think to get food – I was struck that God was provided even for the birds of the air, right before my very eyes. I was happy to see that. I heard the water crashing on to the shore. I saw a lot of sand and lots of rock but more sand than rock. The beach and God's Word is a cool combo!
Sometime this afternoon, probably around 1:30pm, I talked with Mom for a little bit. She had 3 missed calls on her cell phone from me, so she called twicee earlier in the day. But those missed calls from me were from last week =). She's so adorable! I love my mom!!! She sounded happy…and she was at work. My mom is so cool!
This morning Chapel Band lead worship for Grace Brethren High School. High schooler's think they're cool =) some of them are, I was 🙂
It's 2:30am and now I'm listening to Phil Wickham. I kinda just wanna wait all night for the Lord or stay up with Him. Either reason is keeping me up. And for the few moments mentioned, I know God will have some sort of those cool moments waiting for me. That would be cool!

Here are some updated pics from WOW Saturday, through Seko's wedding, my mohawk =), and going with Adam Dickson, Caleb Hazel, Kevin Anderson, Andy Hegg and Stephen Johns (the future of Hotchkiss) to this year's fall thing…Music Icons…supposedly. Anyway, the six of us went as the Village People. Then finally a few pics of me, Thomas and Phil at Logan and Lynn's wedding!
Check out the pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/sionasavini/Fall08Update#

Okay, so Hotchkiss Men won The Master's Cup for the 3rd consecutive year! Glorious. Our women won the cup as well – so, all in all Hotchkiss dominated & swept The Master's Cup!!!
In all reality, if you're ever a new student here during WOW or on staff as an RD [in the words of Jen Ginsberg] "this is probably the dumbest thing you'll ever care about but you will care"
Yeah its dumb, when you don't win but amazing when you do – especially 3 years in a row!
I'll have pics for you soon enough!

I am a freshman at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy. Recently, our creative freshman class religion teacher issued us a challenge based on our learning of the concept that God is revealed in beauty.
Our task was to create beauty. As this is a pretty open-ended project, we were left to interpret this. What did we come up with? To spread beauty and kindness throughout the school, one girl at a time in what we call Project Pay it Forward.
We wrote kind letters to each girl in the whole school (all 385 of them), reminding them that they are beautiful. We left blank post-it notes throughout the school for the students to leave friendly notes to each other.

•How do you persuade a reluctant customer?
• Describe your most successful sale
• How would you sell me this pen?
• How do you stay motivated?
• What has been your greatest challenge in meeting sales quotas?
• Describe a typical week in your most recent sales position
• How do you overcome objections?
• How do you handle a face-to-face challenge?
For sales I like to ask what's been their exposure to sales jobs. If they had parents who were in sales, relatives, family or friends. A lot of times there would be discussion about work around the dinner table or at barbecues, holiday get-togethers, etc. The reality of the job and the industry were likely discussed so the candidate would already have some familiarity with them. He has some idea of what he's in for and you are aware that he has this added insight.
The same thing holds true for engineers, technology people, etc. Any past exposure even peripherally could prove insightful.
Each person interviewing the candidate should have a separate list of questions to ask but these questions should be consistent among candidate interviews to allow for more accurate comparisons. Agree on a standard set of questions for each interviewer you may want to include a peer interview. This can help round out a company's perspective on the candidate. The employee can take stock of the candidate and report to his boss. Candidates tend to be more at ease with peers, so the employee is likely to get a more objective view of the candidate. But keep in mind that it's a two- way street: candidates will likely get a more accurate picture of the company from someone who works there rather than someone presenting only what he wants the candidate to know peer interviews can be especially useful for team-based organizations and can help boost morale Employees involved in the hiring process generally feel appreciated and that they have more of a stake in the company. They have a vested interest in the new hire's success, and the new hire, in turn, can start work knowing he has peers who support him.

Rediscovering Christmas
We started a new tradition this year. We will have our traditional daily Advent for James but I wanted to do something as a family that might have more spiritual significance. When we lit the first candle we read the Bible story in Luke 2:21-40 about Simeon and Anna awaiting the Messiah. We will lite a candle each week and the large one on Christmas day. Counting down to Christmas is reminding us that we are celebrating his birth and awaiting for his return.
For an advent Bible study look at 'Rediscovering Christmas' on You Version.

What is austerity? What does it look and feel like? What impact does austerity have on people's everyday lives? Who does it affect, and in what ways? And how do people get by in austerity?
At the height of public spending cuts by the UK government, research on Everyday Austerity was carried out by Dr Sarah Marie Hall in Greater Manchester from 2013-2015.
Austerity is, as the project findings show, more than a political or economic state; it is a very personal condition that is real and felt and experienced.
Everyday Austerity Exhibition
A unique and innovative research project into the social impact of spending cuts to communities and families in Manchester has been turned into the UK's first multisensory exhibition on the issue of austerity.
'Six Families, Two Years, One Researcher: An Exhibition of Everyday Life in Austerity' takes place at The University of Manchester's Samuel Alexander building, from 11th-15th July.
The project is the culmination of two years of ethnographic research by Dr Sarah Marie Hall, in collaboration with North West artist, Stef Bradley. The ethnographic research carried out by Dr Hall involved working closely with families heavily impacted by austerity to gather first-hand, personal accounts of their everyday lives, rather than concentrating on statistical data and number crunching.
This approach was taken as Dr Hall, an expert in Human Geography from the University's School of Environment, Education and Development (SEED), says research into socio-economic issues, such as austerity, needs to focus more on people that it affects directly.
Dr Hall said: "We need to understand that austerity is more than a social and economic condition. It is also as a very personal issue. The impacts of austerity reach far and wide, where people are affected directly and indirectly, including friends, family and acquaintances. This research, and subsequent exhibition, looks beyond the word 'austerity' and asks what does it look and feel like? And what impact does it have on people's everyday practices, relationships and experiences?"
The exhibition has also been designed so the research engages the general public and is accessible to those who have been directly affected by austerity.
Dr Hall added: "One of the fundamental problems with academic research into socio-economic issues, such as austerity, is the way data is collated and published. Unless it is covered in the press, how can anyone outside of academic and research circles see it, let alone relate to it? Traditional research practices can sometimes alienate the very people the research is trying to help. This exhibition is designed to engage and empower that audience."
The research also found that in the social and economic groups that are mostly effected by spending cuts, it is the women who are 'bearing the brunt' of austerity:
Dr Hall added: "One of the key things my work with these families has exposed is that women in communities heavily impacted by spending cuts are definitely bearing the brunt of austerity.
"This is evident through the effect on their labour – both paid and unpaid; by the impact to their social relationships and roles with friends and family, and in their general overall outlook on life through what is perceived as limited possibilities and aspirations for the future."
