Well, I guess I should tell you where I've been for the last 4 months. It's really been a while since I checked in. And maybe I should do it a bit more often, but people are inherently flawed, aren't they? And I guess my one true flaw is the inability to maintain a regular blogging schedule. Sorry guys.. But here I am. Finally.
On March 12th, I flew home to Ireland for my father's funeral. After a full day of traveling and 5 long, arduous flights, we finally landed in Dublin. I wish I could speak of Ireland with the same wide-eyed wonder that I experience in new countries, but it's difficult to describe it without each encounter layered upon a history of recollections.
If there's anywhere that truly hits me with nostalgia, it's the Dublin airport. As soon as I step off the plane, every memory hits me with the swell of a thousand oceans.
Every aroma from the characteristic manure and grass scent that hangs in the air when you touch down to the cigarette smog that lies just outside the baggage claim is welcoming and almost comforting. I rush through the doors in the usual airport bustle and remember the other countless times I've walked through the terminal. I push through to passport control and grow antsy with the same anticipation as three-year-old me had, knowing my family waited on the other side of the hall. After waiting in a seemingly endless line, I made it to the other side. Nearly home free.
Dublin Airport is almost consoling. The baggage claim is the same, the terminal, the bustle of people, the chatter clashing county-branded accents. I love it. If not for the gaudy display of St. Patrick's Day orange and green streamers racing through the terminal, it felt like time had stopped in Dublin. As if the last six years in the states hadn't touched the faithful airport and I hadn't left.
Time does, however, do a number on people. As we made our way out of baggage claim, we were welcomed by a familiar group. The same laughing bunch of relatives, only now scattered with graying hair and creases in their smiling faces. But I'm sure you already know the excitement of seeing family though, so there's really no need for my description.
You see, my grandparents live in the same little house they have lived in for sixty years. The same cookie cutter house crammed between other cookie cutter houses on the same street in the same town that they raised their eight children in. With the same view of the same old round tower out the window. And I love this house. Some of my earliest memories were made in this house, on this street, in this same little village.
And so that's why I can't speak of Ireland through fresh eyes. The fabric of my being is sown with little threads and stitches of that house.
So. What did I get up to you ask?
That's a long story, and will likely be split up into different cities.
So. While in Dublin, I went to the St. Patrick's Day parade. That's right. St. Paddy's day in Ireland. How wild! Except it wasn't really that wild. We went to the parade, which actually turned out to be pretty phenomenal. Coming from somewhere that typically doesn't even entertain the thought of a Paddy's day parade, I was blown away.
And then we (my sister, aunt and I) walked across town to the stadium. Turns out, the GAA club finals were the very same day so we spent a good majority of our day watching hurling matches. And guys. I think I found my sport. Not that I'd ever want to play it, but hurling spectating is possibly the most entertaining experience I've ever had. You see, when the opposing team scores, it is almost entirely necessary to yell "FECK!" If you don't participate in this strange colloquialism, you are cast as an outsider. Either you're fecking or you're not. That's all there is too it.
And even stranger, the best way to criticize a player is to say "Come on, ____ boy!" and just fill in the blank with their jersey name. Weird right. So in culturally appropriated fashion, I was "feck"-ing and and "come now, Kelly boy!"-ing before I knew it. If you ever have the chance to watch a hurling match, jump on it, because I guarantee you will come out grinning.
Now. On to the next city… Cork here we come!

Ashanti or Asante were an ethnic subgroup of the Akan-speaking people, and were composed of small chiefdoms.The Ashanti established their state around Kumasi in the late 1600s, shortly after their first encounter with Europeans,and it was an Akan empire and kingdom in what is now modern-day Ghana from 1670 to 1957.
In some ways the Empire grew out of the wars and dislocations caused by Europeans who sought the famous gold deposits which gave this region its name, the Gold Coast. During this era the Portuguese were the most active Europeans in West Africa. They made Ashanti a significant trading partner, providing wealth and weapons which allowed the small state to grow stronger than its neighbors. Nonetheless when the 18th Century began Ashanti was simply one of Akan-speaking Portuguese trading partners in the region.
The Ashanti Empire expanded from Ashanti to include the Brong-Ahafo Region,Central Region,Eastern Region,Greater Accra Region and Western Region of present-day Ghana.
The Ashanti benefited from early firearm adoption. Combined with effective strategy, they fashioned an empire that stretched from central Ghana to the present-dayIvory Coast. Due to the empire's military prowess, wealth, architecture, sophisticated hierarchy and culture, the Ashanti Kingdom has been extensively studied and has more historiographies by European, primarily British authors than almost any other indigenous culture of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Every year, it feels like our popular Crisis Review feature becomes both longer and more action-packed, such is the severity of issues and risks that now face businesses, from cybercrime to supply chains to corporate malfeasance.
And yet, even by those standards, 2016 is shaping up to be another banner year for crises, judging by the high-profile scandals that have rocked the likes of Samsung, Mylan, Wells Fargo and Disney, not to mention the ongoing car-crashes represented by the Brexit and Trump movements.
Regaining trust after an external crisis, as many companies have found out the hard way, is one of the toughest challenges in the communications playbook. Indeed, it may be that the playbook itself is past its sell-by date, given the relentless nature of today's threat landscape.
I was reminded of this during a recent Echo Chamber podcast with Eric Hollreiser, VP of corporate communications at PokerStars, who has, in the past five years, been through a remarkable succession of issues, including federal charges, acquisition, sale, an insider trading investigation and — soon after we finished recording — merger talks.
As Hollreiser noted, it is difficult to plan for just one of those events, let alone all. The recovery is not much easier, especially when the most critical component in this process is often overlooked by companies.
As Ipsos MORI's latest Reputation Centre report reveals, "high profile and strong leadership" is the most important factor when it comes to rebounding from a crisis, according to 58% of the 109 communications professionals on the research house's Reputation Council.
That makes intuitive sense. A crisis is the ultimate test for an organisation and any response should place the CEO and leadership team front and centre.
However, plenty of research also indicates that CEOs are often distrusted, particularly in Western markets. Ipsos MORI notes, for example, that only 23% of the British public trust CEOs to tell the truth, lower than the global average of 39%, and far behind developing economies such as China and India (71% and 69% respectively).
A trusted, visible, CEO can make a critical difference to an organization's crisis response. But how many CEOs are really willing to go out on a limb like this? Edelman's Trust Barometer research reveals that in more than half the countries surveyed, the general public cannot name a single CEO. Accordingly, said Richard Edelman earlier this year in Davos, business leaders must step up if they hope to address concerns over such issues as income inequality, and marry profit and purpose in line with public expectations.
"You have to come out of the bunker — say, here's who I am, here are my values, here's why it matters," said Edelman at his Trust Barometer event, recognising that only a handful of CEOs — presumably the likes of Unilever's Paul Polman (pictured) and Starbucks' Howard Schultz — have made this transition.
That much was also made clear from Polman's recent comments to the Arthur Page Society conference in London, where he called on communicators to help shape the world.
For communicators, the 'trust divide' that regularly assails their CEOs is a difficult one to bridge. For every Paul Polman there is an Elizabeth Holmes — the Theranos CEO who has been widely criticised (and sanctioned) for her lack of transparency regarding the company's practices.
As Oxfam executive director Winnie Byanyima observed earlier this year, only a few CEOs have the wherewithal to genuinely focus on addressing societal expectations of their behaviour. "That's not the norm — that's [Unilever CEO] Paul Polman and a few others. Most business people carry on business as before."
Where does that leave the bulk of the business world's leaders? Scrambling to become better corporate citizens, perhaps, although Byanyima is probably not alone in her scepticism. Perhaps, then, companies should focus on the other factors that Ipsos MORI's Reputation Council consider to be important in terms of crisis recovery: relationships with key stakeholders, and a committed and engaged workforce.
Those are measures which should not be ignored, but neither are as important as a trusted, communicative CEO. Especially in light of another finding from the Ipsos MORI study: just 17% believe the reputational standing of an organisation prior to a crisis will help it recover.

San Juanico Idyll
I thought about how to title this post about our week in the big bay of San Juanico, and the word "idyll" floated to the surface of my sunbaked brain. Uncertain of the meaning, I looked in the dictionary: "An extremely happy, peaceful, or picturesque episode or scene, typically an idealized or unsustainable one." Yes, yes for the happy, peaceful, picturesque stuff. Interesting that last bit.
San Juanico is perhaps our favorite of all Sea of Cortez anchorages. It is a big bay, with many rocky cliffs and spires where several families of osprey raise their babies, and a variety of anchoring locations. There were many boats coming and going this past week, and it was also the week of the full moon. There were gatherings on the beach in the evenings to share food, drink, and stories, watch the moon rise and enjoy a bonfire.
During the days, we kayaked and snorkeled in the increasingly clear water. With Jan and Joan from s.v. Dulce Maestra, made an epic kayak trip from San Juanico to Punta Mangles, where there are tall cliffs of amazing colored rock, and dramatic deep sea caves. We were blessed with favorable wind and current returning to San Juanico, so that the fifteen mile round trip was just a good workout.
As for the term "unsustainable". Although afloat, we are still living in the modern world, dependent on fossil fuel and complicated electronics and mechanical systems. Keeping everything running smoothly requires maintenance and ingenuity. During our idyll, the Captain was busy trying to repair a leak in the engine cooling system. He traded 15 gallons of fresh water for a tube of fancy epoxy, and was gifted a roll of magic red tape. The combination managed to staunch the leak. Perhaps we are barely sustainable, in the short term, with the help of a community of like-minded boating vagabonds.

CAPITALISM IS OVER! If You Want It is an ongoing movement of interruptions/actions by artists from around the world in response to the need for a fundamental shift in our approach to Capitalism and the negative impact it has on the environment, health, and wellbeing of all. The status quo is not sustainable. The title of the project references John and Yoko's "War is Over if You Want It" campaign of the late '60′s – in the spirit that capitalism is our war of today. The title also reflects how these phenomena are based in our minds and rely on our buy-in to function. Capitalism is not a law of nature. Humans created the system, it no longer works for the majority of the world, and it can be replaced.
Waffle Shop, Pittsburgh, PA, June 2011
Through CAPITALISM IS OVER! If You Want It our goal is to support and enact alternatives to Capitalism through creative channels. While making art in response to this runaway greed may seem an act of indulgence in itself, we as cultural workers are part of the community interrogating, creating and representing cultural shifts. At the very least we hope to leverage our creative capital to inspire constructive panalogue, network with others committed to the cause, and perhaps provide some fun and runaway thinking.
We launched the movement on July 18, 2010 and to date over 100 artists have staged actions/performances in support of finding an alternative to the current Capitalist model. It has been inspiring and encouraging to be a part of the global revolution that has developed over the past year through the Arab Spring and Occupy Movements and watch as we are growing and gaining momentum and ultimately will manifest in long-term changes to the current status quo.

Let me tell you a story. When I was 17 years old, one night I went into my room and went to bed. Shortly, there appeared from out of nowhere, just a few steps from my bed, a feminine, angelic being. Though I couldn't make out any specific facial features, I simply "knew" she was female. She hovered about a foot off the floor and her whole body radiated a soft white glow, as though she were a GE soft white light bulb. She wore long white gossamer robes which had the same glow, and which fluttered as though a stiff breeze were blowing. I was a bit startled but my surprise and curiosity overcame any fear. She told me to come over to her and I got out of bed and walked over to where she was hovering. When I turned around and faced the bed I was alarmed to see my body still lying there, and yet I was over here too and had another body. She assured me it was all right and I was not to worry, so I didn't worry any more about it. She said she wanted to show me something and took my hand in hers. Her hand was small and soft but strong. She said I was to come with her and she began slowly ascending toward the ceiling. I balked at that thinking I couldn't go through a ceiling. She continued and I looked down at my feet and was amazed to see that they were no longer touching the floor.
She smiled and I felt the smile in my mind. It suddenly occurred to me that she had never actually spoken in the usual way, but she was communicating with me telepathically. When she wanted to say something to me, she simply thought it and I heard the words, not with my ears, but inside my head. It's difficult to describe, but I also realized that I could know her intent or emotion in the same way, even without the words. When I balked at going through the ceiling and she smiled, I felt a warmth radiate through my body and I understood that her smile at my naiveté created the warm feeling in me. I also realized that I was communicating my thoughts to her via telepathy without even trying, because I had no idea how to try.
I agreed to go with her but I still ducked my head as it approached the ceiling. Then, to my amazement, I found myself passing effortlessly through the plywood. I was surprised when many years later I saw the movie "GHOST" with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. The depiction of Swayze passing through doors was exactly like my experience of passing through the ceiling. There was the musty smell of the attic, then we passed through the tin roof. There was a sort of crunching sound when we went through the plywood ceiling, but passing through the tin roof had a ringing sound.
When we cleared the house and rose to about treetop level, I suddenly realized I was cold. It was the middle of a late autumn night in northwest Georgia and I was wearing only my pajamas. The moment I realized I was cold, I was enveloped in what seemed to be a small cloud of warm air. She assured me I could move around as I wanted but cautioned me to stay close to her. She let go of me and I found myself floating 50 feet or so off the ground with no support at all. I wondered what would happen if I went up further and instantly the earth receded from me at blinding speed, though I had no sensation of movement. It was just as though I had remained still and the earth had suddenly sped away. I was a bit startled but found that she was right with me and we were now so far out that we could see the earth and moon together. I wanted to immediately go everywhere and see everything. I found myself zipping along through the galaxy, with my guide, zigzagging between solar systems as easily as a downhill skier negotiating slalom poles. Time and distance were not relevant.
I wondered if I could see what a sun was like inside and was assured it was okay. I dove into a huge yellow one to check it out. I was completely engulfed in an incredible amount of light, though I felt no heat and the light didn't hurt my eyes. There was a roar like a thousand freight trains speeding all around me, and the sound and light actually seemed to be a part of one, but there was no discomfort.
I saw worlds of every possible description. Some were tiny, airless and barren; others were huge and had no more solidity than a cloud. They appeared to be a collection of jewels of every color, strewn along a black carpet. Occasionally I would sense living things on one. Once I tried to descend to one to look at it up close but was told that it was forbidden. I was disappointed but accepted that and continued on with her. Eventually, she returned me to my house, back down through the roof and ceiling. She gave me that warming smile again and said I should remember this. I felt the cold linoleum under my feet. Then I walked over and lay back down into my body. She said good-bye, ascended through the ceiling and was gone. The next memory I have is of waking up with the sun shining in my face. The first thing I did was look over to see if she was there. No one was there. I was pretty sure it was a dream but I got up and went over and stood in the spot where I had been in the dream. I raised my finger and poked at the plywood ceiling hoping, willing it to pass through, but it did not.

GCU's Dr Ima Jackson will chair the event
Glasgow Caledonian University's (GCU) School of Health and Life Sciences will host a seminar on migration on Friday, August 14.
The event, in collaboration with the Glasgow Refugee Asylum and Migration Network (GRAMNet), which is funded by the University of Glasgow, will bring together researchers, practitioners, NGOs, policy makers and migrants from across Scotland.
Lilja Gretarsdottir, Senior Advisor on Migration in the Council of Europe, will give the keynote lecture on current EU migration policy changes and their impact on society.
Other speakers will include a representative from the Scottish Government's Migration Strategy team and Nazek Ramadan, Director of Migrant Voice, a migrant-led organisation working to strengthen the voice, participation and representation of migrants in the media. Ms Ramadan will discuss efforts to correct the imbalance in the way migrants are represented across media.
Professors Rebecca Kay and Alison Phipps from GRAMNet will present on how to engage and respond to migration through research and policy.
GCU's Dr Ima Jackson, Nursing Lecturer in the School of Health and Life Sciences and a member of GRAMNet's steering group, will chair the event.
She said: "Migration is creating one of the biggest social changes in Scotland in recent times, with international students and workers coming to Scotland in unprecedented levels.
"Alongside this, the desperate experience of people crossing the Mediterranean is documented in the press almost every day. This event will look at how European countries have responded to this situation and will explore how Scotland can respond to migration."
The event will take place from 11am to 1.30pm in the GCU LEAD area of the William Harley Building.

Former Kings 'Playoff' Penner and A 'Feisty' Side to Jonathan Bernier
While playing for Los Angeles, defenseman Dustin Penner earned the nickname 'Playoff' Penner' due to his lackluster performance during the regular season and sudden shift to clutch player during the post season. Kings fans (and probably Ducks fans) were interested to hear raw quotes from Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau following yesterdays on-ice training camp in Anaheim…
Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau on how Dustin Penner has performed at training camp. "Mediocre"
— jonathan davis (@westcoasthky) September 23, 2013
On Dustin Penner's play so far:
"Mediocre. We had a talk with Dustin today. We want him better, but I think he wants himself better too. Sometimes big men take a little longer. We did a little extra skating today with him and we'll probably do that on a continuous [basis] until the season starts anyway. It's just tough. Sometimes you play fourteen minutes and you're a big-bodied man and you need more. So we're going to try to give him some more."
On whether Penner is a boom or bust guy:
"When you're trying to win the Cup, you shoot for the moon. We had tremendous success with Dustin the last time he was here. If we can rekindle some of that success—both for him, remembering what it was like, and for us, big-bodied forwards… He's won two Cups in the last five or seven years. I sure wish I had that in my resume. He knows how to win. When you watch the play-offs, he played extremely well for the Kings. We just want him to continue that in the regular season."
With Penner back in Anaheim it wasn't long before rumors of the infamous "Kid Line" consisting of Ducks players Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, and Dustin Penner being reunited. The trio was a force to be reckoned with during the 2006-2007 season, the same year the Ducks won their first ever Stanley Cup. Kings fans were not surprised when it was announced Penner had signed a one year contract over the summer with the first team he had won the Stanley Cup with. Whether fans embraced 'playoff' Penner or were happy to see him leave, no one can deny his contribution and pivotal role in Los Angeles in 2012 when the Kings were able to hoist the Stanley Cup for the first time ever in franchise history and for that we thank you Playoff Penner!
Both teams will meet tonight in Los Angeles for the second time this preseason. We'll see if the 'Kid Line' gets their chance to shine or if the Kings shut them down for a second time, either way with the trio in and nearing their 30's maybe a new nickname is in order.
The Fiesty Bernier LA Would Never See
Another former King, goaltender Jonathan Bernier has been making headlines with his contribution to the chaos during the Toronto/Sabres Game Sunday night. Within minutes Kings fans were sharing picture and video of the fight across the social media world. Lisa Dillman of the LA Times spoke with several current Kings players to get their reactions
The Kings, btw, were duly impressed by Jonathan Bernier's scrap last night. "Sick," said Kyle Clifford, smiling. #HighestFormOfPraise
— lisa dillman (@reallisa) September 23, 2013
More Doughty: "I always knew he (Bernier) wanted to fight. And I knew he'd win if he did get in one. So I'm happy for him."
— lisa dillman (@reallisa) September 23, 2013
The fight didn't come as a surprise to some Kings fans. During the 2013 Western Conference Final against the Blackhawks, goaltender Corey Crawford joined in a fight against LA's Kyle Clifford after the referee motioned for him to stay in his crease. A video taken from the angle behind Bernier shows him making a very distinct motion in the direction of Crawford that most interpreted as Bernier calling Crawford out. The video can be seen here and the action of Bernier can be seen at 29 seconds in.
In the end I think we can all agree with what Drew Doughty has to say about the fight over all:
More Doughty on Jonathan Bernier: "He's going to be a legend in Toronto now just for that fight. He's off to a good start."

Living La Vida Linux-- Why?
What is this Linux Lifestyle?Why do some people choose to run Linux as their PC platform of choice while others opt instead for other ways of running their computing experiences?
Is it market share, perceived ease of use, slick marketing overtures, users wanting to use what they already know? This list might explain why people might choose OS X or Windows.
Software buyer's remorse has gone M.I.A.I haven't spent my hard-earned income on software in years. I own one single (legal) copy of Windows XP Pro that I use for work purposes (software testing) in VirtualBox.
Does this mean that I choose not to spend money on Linux then? Not at all. I do in fact, donate money to specific Linux-related projects on a regular basis.
The fact that I have managed to free myself from DRM, product keys and purchased OS installation CDs is merely a byproduct of no longer locking myself into a proprietary software hell. Not because I wanted a free ride, mind you, but rather because I grew tired of feeling like a cog...

Battles—New Style
By Frank H. Simonds
[The New Republic; May 1, 1915]
In the opening weeks of the present war the chief difference between its battles and those of the past was in size. Waterloo had been fought on a front of four miles, Gettysburg on one of less than ten, even the Franco-Prussian War saw no impressive expansion of the battle fronts. But the Battle of the Marne was a struggle—or a series of struggles—extending from the environs of Paris to the Argonne, considerably more than a hundred miles.
From the contest on a tremendously broad front the battle almost imperceptibly dropped to the level of a trenching contest. Again there was at the outset plain resemblance to our Civil War precedent, to the famous lines of Torres Vedras, behind which Wellington stood in the Peninsular war. Lee before Richmond fought in trenches for many months.
The development of the battle line in France from the Oise, to the Somme, to the Lys, to the Yser, may be compared with that of the parallel trenches of Lee and Grant from Petersburg to Five Forks; the main difference being that while Lee, having insufficient forces and unable to get reinforcements, was obliged to stretch his line so thin that Grant finally broke it and compelled the evacuation of Richmond, both the Germans and the Allies were able to bring up sufficient men to defend each new extension of the line.
The climax in this trench operation came at the Battles of the Yser and of Ypres. Here the Germans were patently repeating Grant's Five Forks tactics. With overwhelming forces they attacked the thin Belgian and British forces on the Allied left, as Grant had similarly attacked Pickett on Lee's right. But the thin line held, the Germans were unable to pass the flank of the Allies.
The character of the struggle in the west again changed with the end of the two battles of Flanders. With one wing resting on Switzerland, the other on the North 'Sea, both German and Allied lines were now safe from all flanking operations, and the battle fronts had reached their maximum extension. Henceforth it was impossible to have recourse to any of the familiar methods of manoeuvering an army out of a position. There was left nothing but the costly and hazardous frontal attack against entrenched opponents.
From November to February, partly because of weather conditions, partly because the Allies were still lacking in numbers and heavy artillery, while the Germans were diverting their reserves to the east, there was little activity on the western front. But in February for the first time there begins to develop the new style of battle, which has now become familiar to all who read the war despatches.
The first example of this new style battle was in the Champagne. Here, on a front of about a dozen miles, the French concentrated some six army corps, about 250,000 men, and an enormous mass of heavy artillery. Against the Germans, holding a low ridge, rising above the monotonous Plain of Champagne less than two hundred feet, they directed terrific artillery fire. Under cover of it they advanced slowly, beating off counter attacks until they had occupied the whole ridge, but their advance in a month did not average a mile on their active front.
The second example was far more illuminating. Having made a similar Artillery concentration at Neuve Chapelle, the British suddenly opened a furious bombardment upon the Germans before them in the village of Neuve Chapelle, destroyed the village, wrecked the German trenches, and then occupied them before the Germans could recover from their confusion. The mission of the artillery in such an operation is first to reduce the enemy's trenches, then to build up a wall of fire between the enemy's reserves and their trenches, which have been shelled, under cover of which the infantry can advance and organize the captured trenches.
At Neuve Chapelle this method was followed, but unfortunately for the British the zone of fire between the German trenches and the German reserve was badly calculated and their own advance checked by the fire of British artillery. Once the British had taken the German trenches they followed the tactics of the French in Champagne—organized them and prepared for a counter attack, This came with great promptness, and for several days the fighting was desperate, but in the end the British hung on to their gain. In both the fighting in Champagne and about Neuve Chapelle there were patent results of great strategic advantage, if the Allies could actually break through the German lines—that is, both the front and the reserve trenches. But in this in both cases they failed utterly.
Such advantages were to be expected only in case of overwhelming triumph, of success beyond any reasonable expectation. In addition there was another end sought. In these struggles, in the French campaign about St. Mihiel, the British at Hill 60 in Flanders, which followed the Allies were plainly adopting the familiar Grant policy, attrition, which General Joffre has rechristened "nibbling." For Grant and for the western Allies the problem was the same. The time had now arrived when the numerical advantage of the Allies in the west was decisive and bound to grow. With 750,000 British troops in France, with the Belgian army reorganized, with French military establishment at the maximum of its possible strength and efficiency, the Germans were outnumbered in the west, not temporarily but permanently, since the Russian campaign in the Carpathians was making new demands all the time upon them.
Thus, if the Allies could keep up sustained pressure from Switzerland to the sea, and furthermore, in local actions—which in reality were battles on larger scale than nineteenth century history records— make the German loss equal to or greater than their own, they must in time wear the Germans down to the point where their lines, like Lee's about Richmond, would be so thin that the Kaiser's generals would have to choose between retreat to a shorter line and disaster due to the breaking of the lines.
As the Allies now possessed a superiority of heavy artillery and, what was even more vital, of ammunition, their commanders reckoned that this policy of attrition could safely be pursued. Thus at Neuve Chapelle the loss of the British up to the time the German trenches were actually occupied was greater than that of the Germans. But the German counter attacks made in the open and in massed formation, under artillery were, If British "eyewitness" reports are to be believed, much larger, and the total German loss 20,000 to 12,000. In addition, the French operation compelled the Germans to send to Champagne reserves stationed about Neuve Chapelle, and this permitted the British to make their attack. The French offensive in the St. Mihiel region was followed by a successful British advance at Hill 60 in Flanders, suggesting another deflection of German reserves, which weakened the line in front of the British, with similarly costly consequences.
Without accepting the reports of the Allies as to their achievements too completely, it is possible to accept what they attempted as indicative of their strategy. To force the fighting, to kill as many Germans as possible, at least a number equal to their own losses, to play the Grant game on a stupendous scale, this was what General Joffre and Sir John French had now undertaken.
One more advantage the Allies had and a great one. Such battles as were now fought demand enormous supplies of ammunition. The battle of Neuve Chapelle cost the British more ammunition than the whole Boer War. Here the Allies were able to draw upon the neutral world, upon the United States mainly, to supplement their own stocks. Russia, too, could draw on Japan and the United States by the Trans-Siberian. But Germany, shut in by the blockade, compelled to manufacture her own ammunition to meet Russian as well as French, British, Belgian and neutral production, lacking in copper, obliged to supplement Austrian as well as German supplies, seemed bound in the end to face a shortage of ammunition, conceivably before there was any lack of men.
Looking over the whole contest in the west from February to the approach of May, it will be observed that the Allies followed a consistent plan. Champagne, Neuve Chapelle, Les Eparges, Hill 60, were all battles of the new style; each was marked by immediate local success followed by tremendous counter attacks, in which German losses must have been great, even if no greater than those of their more numerous enemies. The German advance about Ypres, going forward as these lines are written, is an example of the new style battle in its details. But it may be reckoned, on present information, as a great counter offensive, the most ambitious for many months, necessitated by the successful British "nibble" at Hill 60.
Such, briefly, is the new style battle, as it is now being fought in France and Belgium. By adopting it the Allies seem to have resigned any plan for any "spring drive." Rather they have settled down to the method by which Grant destroyed Confederate military strength, to the strategy of Wellington in the Peninsular. Unless these plans are abandoned it seems inevitable that the summer will be the bloodiest in modern history, while the actual change in the battle lines in the west may be inconsiderable, if German resources in men and ammunition can last until autumn.

Music, Environmentalism, and the Economics of Mass-Production
We currently live in a difficult age regarding music and environmentalism. Music has greater online accessibility, which means less of an incentive to mass produce paper, plastic CD cases and CDs, vinyls, and other physical music items that are often discarded without thought to their lack of biodegradability and recyclability. We cut down less trees and contribute less to the global epidemic of waste as a result. However, musicians have fewer outlets or mediums to be compensated for their art, as online accessibility and loopholes in copyright and artist compensation laws can allow for musicians' works to be online for free or little pay, and are facing a financial crisis. Additionally, radio apps like Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora are known for paying musicians poorly and mediating the pay that they receive so that the company receives more money than the actual artist. This in turn can also incentivize more ways for musicians to earn money outside of buying files online, like playing more paid concerts. Often times concerts entail production of more concessions, merchandise, which is often strewn about after shows and left to destroy the outdoors by failing to decompose and contributes to greater global landfill. Concerts do not prioritize environmentalism as much as finances.
Some people still want to create CDs for the sake of the special attributes of a physical copy despite online accessibility – credits, artist information, personalized art or writing, etc. that you would not be able to see online. It is often a more emotional and personal experience to have a tangible copy of music. Again, environmentalism is not at the forefront of this. In a time of poor financial compensation, artists strive to profit the most by finding the cheapest and most efficient possible way to produce CDs. This will not involve thought put into environmental effects, which often takes more money and mental energy than artists are willing to put in to something that is not the music itself. After all, they are often solely focused on getting their music across to as many people as possible while being able to have a stable personal financial situation, and will do whatever they can to get there. But this lack of environmental consciousness means these CDs can contribute to our landfill by being produced in the cheapest and fastest way – in a factory setting with cheap plastic and laminated paper, both of which are often not biodegradable. We know things like these pollute both our land and our oceans, harming wildlife of all kinds.
There are ways to reconcile this challenge between declining musical profits and compensation and the destructive environment of music related mass production, and musicians need to start seeking out these solutions before we have done irreversible damage to our planet and thus our own well being.
For teaching purposes, musical texts and books being copied as PDFs (as long as they are regulated in terms of exclusive access and compensate the authors) can be reused for teaching purposes, saving trees and paper. Selling charts or music files online with heavy regulation to online accessibility and proper copyright enforcement gives artists additional opportunities for financial compensation.
Creating biodegradable CD cases with exclusive links attached will allow for the beauty and personalization of physical CDs, incorporate financial compensation, and still remain environmentally conscious. This is what Fabian Almazan's record company Biophilia is in the process of pioneering (you can read more about it here). We can use recycled plastic and paper or source plastic that is biodegradable or made from plants for the CD materials. Additionally, record companies and artists can make it part of their agendas to donate to environmental programs or activist groups, make a point to elect environmentally conscious candidates for government, and do benefit programs and concerts to raise money for environmental contributions. Record companies and artists can appeal to their established audiences and motivate them to support the environment. It is implied that if an artist's audience will support them, then they will support everything else they stand for that is essentially inseparable from their art. Artists who have the platform and voicedness to advocate for environmental change, an issue that affects everyone (whether they want to believe it or not), need to take advantage of this before our planet is beyond the point of repair. There cannot be art without a safe, habitable planet to create it on, and it is easy for us to take this fact for granted. For the future generation of musicians to be able to pass on the privilege and liberty of creating their own art like us, we cannot afford to be passive about environmental consciousness both in our work and outside of it.

Spring – any seasonal or life transition really – brings it's measure of chaos.
Facets of life are being shuffled and redistributed. Whether by your hand or by the fine fingers of the Universe.
Chaos, while productive and essential, can become frustrating…annoying…exhausting. Sometimes, you just need the craziness to give it a rest.
I get that…so much right now.
When I need life to give it a rest, I plunk myself down in the middle of the mess, take deep breaths (lots), and counterintuitively open my heart wide. I become a well of stillness and compassion in the middle of the spinning life facets. I just refuse to spin with them anymore.
And then I listen for the rhythms, synchronicity, patterns that will weave everything together into it's new form.
Once you see the pattern it's much easier to deal with the lolloping looniness. It may not all settle into the pattern(s) you've discerned, but you know it will. And that helps. A lot. (For me, anyway.)
Sitting in the middle of the mess with you,

The Oregon legislature passed two bills Thursday decriminalizing small amounts of six hard drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and ecstasy.
The first of the two bills now headed to the governor's desk, HB 2355, decriminalizes possession of the drugs so long as the offender has neither a felony nor more than two prior drug convictions on record, according to the Lund Report. The second, HB 3078, reduces drug-related property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors.
Republican State Sen. Jackie Winters claimed the war on drugs as it currently exists amounts to "institutional racism" due to how more frequently minorities are charged with drug crimes than whites.
"There is empirical evidence that there are certain things that follow race. We don't like to look at the disparity in our prison system," Winters said during a hearing. "It is institutional racism. We can pretend it doesn't exist, but it does."
The second bill reduces mandatory minimum sentences for many property crimes and also increases the number of previous convictions necessary for a felony charge. It provides $7 million in funding for diversion programs to help lower Oregon's prison population.
Winters and other supporters of the bills argue the answer to America's drug crisis is treatment, not prison time.
"It would be like putting them in the state penitentiary for having diabetes," Democratic Rep. Mitch Greenlick told the Lund Report. "This is a chronic brain disorder and it needs to be treated this way."

11 La residents charged for going 'free range'
Eleven people have been arraigned in the La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly (LaDMA), Sanitation and Motor Court for openly defecating at unauthorised places in the municipality.
The culprits were arrested at dawn on Wednesday at Wizard Park, Roman and beach areas by personnel of the Environmental and Health Division of the assembly.
Mr. Paul Agagba, the Chief Environmental Health Assistant, LaDMA, and Prosecutor, who confirmed this to The Ghanaian Times said the assembly had information that some people had been defecating openly at these places within the municipality.
He said with such information, "the assembly goes in periodically with its taskforce who are deployed to various places, leading to the arrest of the culprits" adding that the assembly would not spare anybody found indulging in open defecation.
The health assistant said, such an initiative was one of the assembly's measures to curb the spread of diseases in the municipality during the rainy season.
Mr. Agagba said though adequate education and warning had been given to residents to desist from the act, some of them were simply adamant and still indulged in such act.
The Municipal Chief Executive of LaDMA , Ms. Royta Odoley Sowah, said the nuisance still persists but the rate had reduced due to an intensive educational campaign embarked upon by the assembly.
Ms. Sowah said, the assembly would soon enforce its bye-laws on sanitation rather than depending on only education to change the attitude of residents.
The MCE said the assembly would soon post notices on walls of households without toilet facilities and after a month without compliance to construct the facility, the culprits would be arraigned in court.

Rafa Benitez has been backed to keep Newcastle fighting at the top.
Midfielder Mikel Merino says Benitez and his team mates have found the "perfect" system to maximise their talents.
Newcastle rose to fourth at the weekend, after three consecutive wins.
Benitez's men are likely to fall short of the required squad depth and quality up front in order to maintain a Champions' League challenge.
But a dash to secure Premier League safety before creating new targets, plus an FA Cup run, is on the cards.
Merino, 21, has emerged as a key player since his move from Dortmund thanks to his composure and passing accuracy.
Newcastle face Brighton next and the Spain Under-21 star said: "We are really pleased with our start to the season. It is so enjoyable for us to play matches here and of course it is even better to be winning.
"We have to keep going, this doesn't stop. We have to keep playing with this effort, this rhythm, and winning if we can.
"It would have been perfect if we'd won all the matches but the way we are playing, the way the team thinks about playing football, the penetration and concentration – all these things are perfect at the moment."
Merino says Newcastle are on a roll and they don't want it to stop with a huge test against Liverpool looming.
The Spain U21 star added: "We won't get too confident, because at any moment this can change and we can lose. But we have the crowd and must be strong in our home."
"We are lucky now because we are winning now and I hope this is going to be a good thing for us, we will be more confident and we can carry on and keep working."

I have a bit of a problem on my hands. I have a Konica Minolta bizhub C550 and some of our users are running into issues specifically with Outlook 2010 printing documents to it. The print job will hang and continually print the first few pages or will occasionally just print a ream of pages of junk text.
I narrowed down the issue to the PCL print driver. I changed the driver to PS and our documents printed from Outlook were fine, but now our users are having problems printing PDF documents. The PDFs would print backwards, upside down, and extremely small in the top left hand corner of the page using the PS print driver. We are using the current version of Adobe Reader (10.1.3). According to one of our administrative assistants, this issue started happening last week. We were running Adobe Reader version 10.1.2 at the time she said this started happening.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this to print either in PCL or PS without having either of these previous issues? This printer is mainly used by our senior staff, so it is becoming a high priority issue for me. This printer is hosted on a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 x64.
Thanks in advance!

Had the problem with Adobe printing PDF file. I just ended up using a different program which has worked for me so far. http:/
I have had this kind of problem in the past with word specifically. Since word is more than likely your email editor this might be worth trying. Change the driver back to PCL. open word go to file>options >advanced scroll down to print and uncheck print in background. I have no idea if it will fix it or not but it is a simple thing to check.
We have a Konica Minolta C550 printer and have not been experiencing any of your issues. Our printer has a fiery and we print directly to the printer using the "hold" feature. The job is sent to the printer, then we have a computer near the printer where we can configure and release the print jobs.
I also have Adobe 10.1.3 on my computer and did a test print. The page printed fine, however I did notice that I had to do some configuring of the paper size in Adobe before releasing the print job. I have seen others on this forum who have been having issues with printing from the latest Adobe Reader.
The initial issue you mentioned about Outlook printing a ream of paper sounds like a dump. Is this happening with multiple users or just one or 2? Do all your users have Outlook 2010 or just some? What operating system are your client computers with issues, and are they 32 bit or 64 bit?

Hi, as far as the PDF's go, that model has an Ultra-Compact PDF mode, so that function is probably on.

Once again we vistited a few bonfires/fanoi on Sunday night. We dance around three of them. I guess there were about 15 fanoi but I'm not sure. It's tradition that if you aren't able to visit all of them, then you should visit an odd number of them.
Kneeling was part of the dance... my knees were killing me the next day!

I came to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gathered my myrrh with my spice, I ate my honeycomb with my honey, I drank my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, drink, and be drunk with love!
Song of Solomon 5:1
Solomon's Song is filled with the language of drinking and of love. Now this is not the kind of drinking you might be thinking of, Solomon is talking about another kind of drinking. This Song of Songs is speaking of spiritual drinking. You may not be familiar with this kind of drinking, this is what Jesus described in John 7, "If any one is thirsty, let him come unto Me and drink". This is the drinking of spiritual intimacy. This spiritual intimacy flows from the throne of our glorified Savior and is available for anyone who is thirsty.
Now in the natural world, there are limitations placed on drinking. There may be cultural limitations, or governmental regulations (such as drinking and driving), or establishment limitations on excessive drinking. Spiritual drinking has no such limitations, because the results of "excessive" spiritual drinking are actually quite beneficial. The KJV version brings out Solomon"s acceptance, actually his encouragement, of drinking large quantities of this heavenly drink.
"I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."
Song of Solomon 5:1 KJV
Drink abundantly, actually this literally means drink until you are intoxicated. This is describing the effects of drinking, coming under the influence of His heavenly affection. When you come under this kind of influence, all sorts of good things can happen. What kinds of things? A strange kind of attraction and love for Jesus is the first and greatest effect of this influence. Also, there is changed behavior; kindness, gentleness, love, joy, peace and all sorts of internal changes to our lives. Healings, physical and emotional, are also connected to spiritual drinking.
So what is the conclusion? Drink your fill of His love. Drink abundantly, don't hold back. Drink until you are drunk with love. Join into this new life of love, remember, there are no limitations. Drink your fill of the Savior's cup.

A cyclist riding on a frozen highway in eastern China survived a head-on collision with a freight truck, as seen in a dashcam video uploaded to Chinese social media. The incident occurred in the city of Wuhu, Anhui Province.
In the video, the man can be seen riding an electric bicycle when a massive red freight truck appears in the wrong lane. The man breaks, only to skid on the icy road and fall directly before the wheels of the truck, which drags him along for dozens of yards before stopping.
The man quickly crawled from under the truck, and later received medical treatment. He had one finger amputated.
Other Chinese dashcam videos show similarly miraculous cases of people being hit by motor vehicles and surviving with comparatively minor injuries.
In November 2014, a man crossing a road at night in Kunshan of Jiangsu Province was struck by a minivan and two other cars the space of seven minutes. The accident left him with a fractured leg and six broken ribs.
That May, an 83-year-old woman was walking near a warehouse, where workers were loading goods onto a truck. As she passed in front of the truck, the driver hit the gas and the next moment, the elderly lady was under the vehicle. After the truck passed over her, she got up with only a few scratches.

- Buckle up for the next month and a half of Big Ten East play. Michigan State made clear that nothing will come easy with an upset win in Ann Arbor.
By the start of the fourth quarter, everyone in the Big House was drenched, and two in-state rivals were separated by four points—the Paul Bunyan Trophy was up for grabs, as long as anyone could get a grip on it. It was anyone's game, and Michigan State took it.
The Spartans' 14–10 win over No. 7 Michigan was close throughout—the game's largest lead was the 11-point margin Michigan State held for much of the second quarter—and between the rivalry and the weather, the entire second half seemed destined for a wild finish. Michigan threw interceptions on three consecutive possessions in the third and fourth quarters; on their ensuing three possessions off those turnovers, the Spartans lost a total of 13 yards. With backup QB John O'Korn running the offense, the Wolverines failed to capitalize on Michigan State's lackluster offense in the middle of the deluge, and their vaunted defense nearly spoiled their last chance at a game-winning drive, yielding one first down on an offside penalty and another on a desperation scramble by MSU quarterback Brian Lewerke.
The Spartans' self-inflicted wounds—a holding penalty later in the same drive that doubled as a precious timeout and a personal foul on Michigan's final possession that pushed the ball to midfield—gave the Wolverines new life, but wide receiver Eddie McDoom dropped what would have been a big gain in the final half-minute and quarterback John O'Korn's desperation heave for the end zone was knocked away, sealing their second consecutive crushing home loss in the contentious in-state rivalry.
Going into Saturday, Michigan was undefeated and the Big Ten's second highest-ranked team behind No. 4 Penn State, which took care of business at Northwestern in the early window. Michigan State hadn't appeared in the poll all season after a 3–9 finish in 2016, and it was one of three one-loss teams in the division. Even with its 3–1 record, it seemed like an afterthought in the conference, plummeting to the basement last year after spending much of the last decade near the top of the Big Ten.
With one win, the Spartans got to both play spoiler to their archrivals and regain their national relevance that was lost so abruptly last season. But they also set the tone for a wild month, promising more confusion atop one of college football's toughest divisions.
Michigan will catch a break next week, when it gets Indiana, but the following Saturday it travels to Penn State. Lose that game, and it'll be a long climb for the Wolverines to try to reach the conference title game. Win, and the entire division is a jumble; most likely, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State would all have one loss, but the Buckeyes and Spartans would be the only of the four teams without a conference defeat, and with Ohio State still left to play the other three East contenders down the stretch.
Michigan State's one loss this season, in Week 4 to Notre Dame, doesn't look so bad in retrospect now that the Irish are 5–1 and ranked No. 21. With the win over Michigan, the Spartans officially enter the Big Ten title game conversation; they could easily be 7–1 by the time they host Penn State on Nov. 4.
Saturday's win lifted Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio to 8–3 against Michigan during his time in East Lansing and dealt a big initial blow to yet another year of lofty expectations for Jim Harbaugh in Ann Arbor—Harbaugh is now a combined 1–4 against Michigan State and Ohio State. With the victory, the Spartans should get a crack at the AP Poll as they work to continue playing spoiler in their division. Wisconsin's beatdown of Nebraska reaffirmed that the conference is somewhat solidified on one side of the slate; in the West, only the Badgers look like a playoff contender. The other side is very much up for grabs.
