So Thankful for Faith and Inspiration to NOT Quit
Don't You Quit!
I am so thankful, by the grace of God, that I held onto my faith in God and His divine inspiration to NOT quit my doctoral journey! I felt like it so many times, but now I'm on the other side of the finish line dealing with a sense of relief and satisfaction–and a bit of shock–that I've really completed that journey!
I've been reviewing and recycling older posts, and again came across one that is so timely even several years after I first wrote it!
This one reminds me of a poem entitled, "Don't You Quit!"
The first stanza goes like this:
"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit–Rest if you must, but don't you quit."
Here's your inspiration for today!
"No matter how bad the condition of your life or your circumstances, don't give up! Regain the territory the devil has stolen from you. If necessary, regain it one inch at at a time, always leaning on God's grace and not on your own ability to get the desired results.
Don't be a quitter! Don't have that old 'give up' spirit.
Whatever you may be facing or experiencing right now in your life, I am encouraging you to go through it and not give up!
It's easy to quit–it takes faith to go through with something."
–Joyce Meyer in "New Day New You"
My Reflections
I know a few people -including myself- who need to hear this regarding difficult or challenging circumstances that really do make you want to quit out of sheer frustration or discouragement! Yet we can't allow ourselves to be defeated and not achieve our goals. Often the breakthrough is just around the bend!
So What Are YOUR Thoughts?
Are you going through difficulties right now that make you want to give up? (I will certainly pray for you, because I empathize!)
Have you ever experienced a breakthrough at just the right moment, and been surprise how close you came to missing it?

The "Today" show anchor team gave viewers an exclusive look at Ralph Lauren's latest Olympic looks for the Sochi Opening and Closing Ceremony parade outfits.
Matt Lauer and company on Thursday wore white cotton turtlenecks under cozy-looking cardigans that featured the colors red, white and navy blue with a patchwork of stars, stripes and Olympic rings. The white pants bear the "Team USA" label and whole look is finished off with a reindeer hat and a pair of black leather boots accented by bright red laces.
The ensemble comes with a $1,478 price tag if you want to buy it in stores. Designer Ralph Lauren is donating 100 percent of the proceeds for the Limited Edition Team USA Opening Ceremony Cardigan, which alone costs $598, to the U.S. Olympic Committee, according to Today.com.
U.S. & World
American curlers Jessica Schultz and Jared Zezel and Ralph Lauren's David Lauren joined the anchor team for the big unveiling.
The uniforms are manufactured domestically, which is notable in the wake of the controversy over the Team USA outfits for the London Games. Ralph Lauren was heavily criticized for outsourcing the 2012 outfits to China, but the USOC said at the time was too late to change the outfits ahead of the London Games. Instead, they agreed to let Ralph Lauren manufacture the Sochi Games' uniforms domestically. This is the fourth time the designer outfitted the the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams.

Developing a job-search objective can be a difficult task, but it's something that needs to be done.
Your objective — also called a mission statement — defines the direction of your search. It helps define your interests, sets the course of conversations, helps you identify strengths and helps you develop a job-search plan. It's challenging to sell your skills to an employer if you haven't defined them for yourself.
It is not unusual to struggle with defining your mission. If you're having a hard time, do some research. You can find a wealth of information online, but it's a good idea to have informational interviews with people currently in your field of interest, as well.
Once it's written, a job-search objective is not etched in stone, so give yourself permission to rework it as needed.
Be open to your transferable skills, and allow yourself time to explore how some of your skills can transition to other industries. And remember, think in terms of what makes you most employable, not job titles, because titles can vary.

What is the recommended recitation speed when learning a new surah?
as salaam 'alaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.
What is the recommended recitation speed when learning a new surah? (I usually use the late Sheikh Hussary, ra, tarteel.) And when a surah is being memorized, how fast should recite the repetitions for memorizaion? And once the surah / suwar are memorized, what is the recommended recitation speed for review?
I ask because I have read elsewhere that some people will recite a page in 1 minute. I read that some say to repeat it 300 times or 500 times in a matter of 3 or 4 1/2 hours.
or a juz in 10 minutes?:
Jazaakum Allahu khaira.
as salaam 'alaikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
There is no general rule on the speed of recitation when memorizing, but slower is better for retaining for most people. Some memorize at a very quick speed and then cannot repeat the memorization in any other speed than fast, which is a big disadvantage.
Again, for review, there is no specific speed. Obviously one can review more with increased speed, but it should not be rote without thinking. The Qur'an was revealed for us to read and ponder, not for us to rattle off without thinking of what we are reading. A page in a minute is a fast speed, and probably hard to keep up. Repeating something several hundred times in one day is not necessary. If one can pray with the section or surah they have memorized without hesitation, it is memorized well. After memorizing a section or surah, it should be repeated until it is smooth and without hesitation, but there should be no specific numbers set, instead each individual should take the pace and number of repetitions they individual feel comfortable with to accomplish the goal of having it memorized well.
A juz' in ten minutes is, in general, too fast for pondering the meaning and reading correctly, but there may be some who can ponder at that speed while observing correct tajweed; certainly they are unique if they can. Each person is responsible for reviewing at a speed which is not so slow so that they cannot review enough, but not so fast that they cannot pronounce the letters properly with their characteristics and most of all they need to be able to think and ponder the meaning of Allah's Glorious words as they recite.
Wa iyyaakum
Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakaatuh

Ryan's uncle, John Loughery, played quarterback at Boston College from 1979-82, while Ryan himself basically ripped up the record books for the Eagles.
Ryan was part of one of the most remarkable comebacks in BC football history, leading the Eagles to a 14-10 win at then No. 8 Virginia Tech. Down 10-0 with 4:11 left in the game, Ryan led the Eagles on a nine-play, 92-yard scoring drive in 2:05.
Then, after BC recovered an onside kick, he put together a seven-play, 66-yard drive that culminated with a beautiful 32-yard touchdown pass to Andre Callender with 11 seconds remaining in the game. The stats only tell half the story, Ryan weaved in and out of serious VT pressure, keeping several plays alive by the skin of his teeth. He finished the game 25-52 for 285 yards and two touchdowns.
On Sunday the Falcons announced themselves as very serious title contenders, with a hard fought, exciting win over Green Bay. The Packer's Aaron Rodgers was superb, but Matt Ryan was just that little bit better. The Falcons won 20-17. Matt Bryant kicked a 47-yard field goal with 13 seconds left for the win after Ryan drove them down the field with barely a minute left. Michael Turner rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown for Atlanta, while Ryan improved to a very Brady like 19-1 in his career as a starter at home. Ryan led the Falcons to their fifth straight win.
Another thing the two most Irish QBs in the NFL have in common? They are both leading two of the joint most winning teams in football right now, with the Falcons, Patriots and Jets all on 9-2.
Ryan came out of Boston College as one of those rare, 'plug and play' QBs who was instantly ready for NFL play. His first NFL pass went for a 60 yard touchdown. Ryan is off to a fantastic start in his 41 NFL games to date. He has already thrown for 9,000 yards and a whopping 57 touchdowns.
If he keeps that pace up, if won't be just the Boston College record book he will be leaving his name all over. The Falcons and indeed NFL versions will have a healthy slice of 'Matty Ice' in their pages too.

Becoming a journalist was a big financial risk when I entered the field in 2003. In 2013, it's shaky indeed. Last week Pew issued a report suggesting that journalism was entering a death spiral: the loss of ad dollars, particularly for classified ads, has led newspapers to make cutbacks. This causes a decline in quality, because writing a good story takes a lot of time and resources. And the readers respond to the quality decline by cutting back on their subscriptions.
(I'm not sure whether readers understand just how long it takes to report a single story, but a good rule of thumb is that just the interviews average an hour per usable quote. Some interviews give you more, but others can't be used at all. If you have to travel and see something, it's even longer.)
Not so fast, says sociologist Gabriel Rossman, one of my favorite sources on all things media. Yes, if you look at the Pew survey, people superficially seem to be complaining about the declining breadth of the stories they read. But if you look at other research, it's likely that what they're actually complaining about is the political slant:
There are three key pieces of evidence in the report itself for the Gentzkow and Shapiro model:
When asked to elaborate problems with content, far more respondents said "The stories are less complete" than "there are fewer stories." I strongly suspect by "less complete" many respondents are choosing the closest available option from the forced choice set to map onto "bias" allegations.
Dissatisfaction and abandonment is concentrated among men and Republicans. Although there are "hostile media" allegations from the left (eg, Herman and Chomsky, Media Matters, etc), in recent years conservatives have been the most vociferous in alleging media bias and providing an alternative "fair and balanced" media ecosystem. As such, conservatives are exactly among whom you'd expect to see the Gentzkow and Shapiro effect concentrated. (I'm bracketing the issue of whether it is justified for conservatives to feel this way since for our purposes only their subjective views are relevant).
57% of respondents who are aware of media financial problems think they're immaterial to coverage about national and international issues. I'm not one to believe that survey responses have to be logically consistent, but this only makes sense if you think the issue is bias, not man-hours.
The upshot is that my reading of the survey in light of the Gentzkow and Shapiro model is that the way for media outlets to survive and thrive is to engage in what traditionally trained journalists would regard as lower quality, by forsaking the objectivity genre and pandering to their readership's beliefs. To a large extent that's what we've been seeing already over the last generation as a process of creative destruction.
Think about coverage of gay marriage. It's celebrated throughout the New York Times: the style section, the Vows section, the real estate section. These stories do not contact an opposing side for comment on whether the couple should be allowed to get married; the worldviews is that of course gay marriage is awesome. If you oppose gay marriage, you'll see a lot of "incomplete" stories about gay marriage that don't address possible social costs--just as environmentalists reading a story about a factory opening might get annoyed if the story doesn't discuss environmental criticism of the new site.
But forty years in, most business stories (written by liberals, let's be honest), do consider environmental impacts as part of the basic story about a new factory. Most stories about gay couples do not consider the social impacts as part of the "basic story"--unless they explicitly argue that the social impact will be good. So conservatives are likely to find the paper much less congenial than they used to--especially as ongoing consolidation pushes their nearest "local" paper into larger, more urban, and more liberal media markets.
I agree with Gabriel: the future of journalism is more opinionated, less "objective". I don't think that this is an entirely bad thing; partisan and ideological media has strengths as well as weaknesses. But it will be a wrenching shift for those of us used to making our living on the old model.

Get ready for another 11th-hour scramble on a spending bill. "The $1.2 trillion dollar spending bill that Congress needs to pass by next week has gotten bogged down in haggling over details and added provisions, pushing a vote closer to the deadline to keep the government operating," Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Congress must pass a spending bill by March 23 to avert a third government shutdown this year, but the legislation isn't out yet. Politico reports that it might not come out until the weekend or even next week "after Republicans scrapped tentative plans to get it out Wednesday night."
Congressional leaders and the White House are reportedly still sorting out what will be included in the omnibus spending package. Politico's John Bresnahan and Sarah Ferris detailed the major areas of ongoing contention: "$900 million in funding for the Gateway project in New York City" — a major passenger rail project under the Hudson River — "which is being insisted on by the New York and New Jersey delegations but has drawn a private veto threat from President Donald Trump; deportation relief for young undocumented immigrants and Trump's request for a border wall between the United States and Mexico; a prohibition on U.S. funding for international groups that provide abortion services and funding for Planned Parenthood; Obamacare stabilization funds; and a tax provision that would allow churches and nonprofits to participate in political campaigns."
Whew. That's some list to work through. And the clock is ticking.
Republicans in Congress "expressed frustration with the lack of a clear message from the White House" on an immigration fix, The Hills reports, after the administration floated and quickly shot down the idea of extending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals protections for immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children in exchange for funding for President Trump's border wall with Mexico.
The administration, meanwhile, is encouraging congressional conservatives to push for a provision in the omnibus bill that would prevent sanctuary cities from receiving federal funds, according to Vox. "With the White House's backing, their resistance could pressure House Speaker Paul Ryan, even if he doesn't want to inject additional controversy into the spending debate," Tara Golshan writes. But such a provision stands no chance in the Senate, where Democratic votes would be needed to pass the omnibus bill, making it unlikely that defunding sanctuary cities will be part of the final spending measure.
Just how far Trump will press on his immigration priorities is unclear, though, and he could, in theory, raise the risk of another shutdown. "This spending bill is again shaping up to ignore Trump's immigration priorities," Golshan writes, "and it's possible the president could threaten a veto again."

Washington, DC — Trading in his glittery tank top and striped shorts for a suit and tie, famed fitness guru Richard Simmons spoke at a hearing before Congress on July 24, urging the House Education and Labor Committee to expand physical education in public schools.
"Everyone is not a jock," the 60-year-old Simmons said at the hearing. "Everyone cannot play sports. Everyone cannot run. But everyone can be fit."
When he graduated from high school in New Orleans, Simmons tipped the scales at 268 pounds. He said he was later "bitten by the sweat bug" and became a fitness advocate, producing 50 fitness videos which have sold more than 20 million copies. He also is the author of nine books and three cookbooks.
During the hearing, Simmons raised awareness about the obesity epidemic in children.
"There's a statistic that says our children will not live as long as their parents," Simmons said. "What have we done?"
Simmons also took a jab at President Bush's No Child Left Behind education policy, saying, "The No Child Left Behind Act was supposed to make our children well-rounded. Well, it made them rounded, and we have to change that."
Everybody needs to perform cardio, strength training and stretching, Simmons told Congress, and everybody can use exercise to feel better about themselves.
"When you're feeling great about yourself, when you have self-esteem and self-respect for yourself, there is nothing you can't do," he said at the hearing.
After the hearing, Simmons traded in his suit and tie for his normal workout attire and led a workout on the terrace of the Cannon House Office Building.

|Tags: how to draw alpacas
Description: I said I had another tutorial left before I was all done for the night. This next lesson is going up because I wanted to show folks "how to draw an alpaca", step by step. These animals look a lot like the llama, and even though they are similar in appearance, they are second in line when it comes to owning them as pets. Some people like to go with goats, and others would rather have alpacas. They are an animal breed that has been in existence since mankind. They originated in the Andes Mountains located in Peru. The Incan people used alpaca to cloth themselves as well as for household use. The alpaca have incredibly strong, warm, and durable fur that is harvested for making clothing. It is said to feel better than cashmere, and is a preferred fiber over sheep's wool. My parents are actually looking into getting a couple alpacas, but if they choose not to go with the alpaca, they will probably go with goats. Well, I hope you have fun drawing an alpaca; I made a simple version so everyone can tackle this awesome task. I shall return tomorrow with more drawing fun, so be sure to come back around for another time on the town. Peace people!

The article Don't waste funds preparing for cyberwars summarized Marcus' talk as follows:
The billions of dollars spent on researching cyberwarfare can be put to better use because cyberwar is never going to be as effective as conventional war, said an IT security expert.
Marcus Ranum, chief security officer of Tenable Network Security said cyberattacks aren't a good force multiplier in an actual war.
Many people, he said, talk about cyberspace as if it can be a new form of battlefield but this is not possible because you can't occupy and hold cyberspace as you would a piece of enemy territory.
Ranum was speaking at HiTBSecConf 2008 here this week.
He said trying to overcome another country via cyberspace is impossible unless you also have a huge army that can defeat its forces in conventional warfare.
A small country, even with an army of hackers on its side, is never going to be able to defeat a big country with an extensive land, air and sea military force by attacking through the Internet.
If you search my blog for the term cyberwar you'll find plenty of posts, but let me try to summarize my thoughts.
In September 2007 I wrote China Cyberwar, or Not?:
DoD Joint Publication 3-13, Information Operations, differentiates between two sorts of offensive information operations.
- Computer Network Exploitation. Enabling operations and intelligence collection capabilities conducted through the use of computer networks to gather data from target or adversary automated information systems or networks. Also called CNE.
- Computer Network Attack. Actions taken through the use of computer networks to disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy information resident in computers and computer networks, or the computers and networks themselves. Also called CNA.
You can think of CNE as spycraft, and CNA as warfare. In the physical world, the former is always occurring; the latter is hopefully much rarer. I would place all of the publicly reported activity from the last few months in the CNE category.
I'd like to add a third category not mentioned in the information operations doctrine: cybercrime. In Marcus' talk, he separates adversary action into cybercrime, cyberterror, cyberespionage, and cyberwar. I don't explicitly break out terrorism because I consider it a criminal issue, and not a military issue.
Marcus's cyberespionage and cyberwar categories relate to my points about Computer Network Exploitation and Computer Network Attack, respectively.
Marcus' slides say "packets don't hold ground." The question is whether that matters. Aircraft don't hold ground either. However, no army wants to operate without air supremacy or at least air superiority overhead. (Ask the Georgians if you doubt this.) Would you rather be able to conduct CNE, or not? If yes, why?
Combatant commanders approach the problem this way. If you're Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf in 1991, and you want to remove the Iraqi army from Kuwait, you'll want to blind the Iraqi radar grid. If you can do so electronically instead of risking the life of a pilot or running down your missile stocks, would you want to? Most commanders I knew wanted to be 100% sure that their decision would work. Not all warfare is about holding ground.
I think the major problem with the cyberwar discussion is the idea that a real conflict could be a purely cyber conflict. This is wrong. I don't think the early air pioneers expected their role to involve purely aerial warfare. Each method of combat has been integrated into the overall ugly fabric of war. So, I don't think "cyberwar is bullshit," but I'm guessing neither does Marcus if you discuss it in the proper context.

BEIJING (Aug. 14, 2008) - The U.S. Olympic Men's Indoor Volleyball Team, ranked third in the FIVB world ranking, rallied to defeat fourth-ranked Bulgaria 27-29, 25-21, 25-14, 26-24 Thursday at Beijing's Capital Indoor Stadium on the third day of pool play.
Team USA's record stands at 3-0 in Pool A, while Bulgaria falls to 2-1. The Americans, who next play host China at 10 a.m. on Aug. 16, are in first place as the lone undefeated team and guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals with the victory. China and Italy are tied for second with 2-1 records in Pool A, while Venezuela and Japan are winless in three matches.
"In the last match against Italy, we came out pretty slow," captain Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.) said. "We did it again today. We started to play good volleyball, but we did it way too late in the first game."
U.S. Interim Head Coach Ron Larsen echoed his captain's sentiments after the match.
"We started slow, but got better as the game progressed," Larsen said. "I thought we did a wonderful job of playing some block defense against them. We started digging a lot of balls and blocking, and I thought we started transitioning really well."
Clay Stanley (Honolulu) led the American offense with 21 points via 18 kills on 32 swings, two blocks and an ace. Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) charted 17 points with 14 kills on 17 attacks, two blocks and an ace. Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) contributed 13 kills and two aces for 15 points. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) tallied a match-high seven blocks to go with four kills for 11 points. Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) added eight points, while Lloy Ball (Woodburn, Ind.) tacked on three blocks and three kills for six points and 32 assists.
"For us, it's wonderful to play a good volleyball match against a quality opponent such as Bulgaria," Larsen said. "They're a physical team. They have some big hitters. They play at a high level and put up a big block. For us, it's ideal to come in here and compete hard."
Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) turned in 24 excellent service receptions on 44 attempts to lead the U.S. He also added six digs in the victory. Salmon produced a team-high eight digs, while Priddy tallied 13 excellent receptions on 21 attempts to go with seven digs.
The U.S. started Ball at setter, Priddy and Salmon at outside hitter, Lee and Millar at middle blocker and Stanley at opposite. Lambourne is the designated American libero for the tournament. Hoff subbed into the match in both the first and fourth sets, while Scott Touzinsky (St. Louis, Mo.) came off the bench in the second and fourth sets. Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) was a reserve in the first and third sets, while Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) entered late in the third set.
The U.S. produced a 37.5 attack efficiency on the evening while limiting Bulgaria to a 21.1 efficiency. Team USA held a 15-12 block advantage to offset a 40-34 dig disadvantage. Both teams served four aces, but USA committed 16 service errors to Bulgaria's 12.
According to Hoff, the slow start was eerily similar to the Americans' victory over Italy two days ago.
"I think this match mirrored Italy," Hoff said. "We got better and better handling the ball as the match went on. I'd rather play better late than early.
"We're going to play a lot more volleyball games in the future here. You just want to know how the team is going to react."
Matey Kaziyski led Bulgaria with 18 points, while Vladimir Nikolov tallied 13 points in the loss.
Earlier today, Italy defeated Venezuela 25-21, 25-20, 25-21, Germany topped Egypt 29-27, 25-21, 25-21, Russia edged world top-ranked Brazil 22-25, 26-24, 31-29, 25-19, Poland defeated Serbia 31-29, 22-25, 25-22, 25-21 and host China edged Japan 25-20, 25-23, 17-25, 16-25, 15-10.
In Pool B, Poland and Russia are undefeated at 3-0, followed by Brazil at 2-1. Germany is fourth in Pool B with a 1-2 record, while Serbia and Egypt have yet to win a match in three outings.
After its match against China, the U.S. concludes pool play on Aug. 18 versus Japan at 10 p.m.

Team USA came back from a 12-8 deficit to take a 20-17 advantage in the first set. It picked up two set points, but Bulgaria saved both and picked up the 29-27 victory on its third set-point opportunity. The U.S. was hampered by seven service errors in the set with two at 23-all and 24-all. Stanley and Millar each scored six points in the opening set.
With the score tied at 10-all in the second set, the U.S. put together a 7-2 run with three points from Priddy to take a 17-2 advantage. Team USA's defense picked up four points off the block in frustrating the Bulgarian attack in the second set. Priddy and Millar each totaled five points in the stanza.
The U.S., leading 8-7 in the third set, produced a 10-3 spurt with 5-0 and 4-0 runs in assuming an 18-10 lead. Stanley and Riley each scored two points in the 5-0 run to jump start the offense. The Americans scored seven blocks in the second set. Stanley paced Team USA with seven points in the third set.
Bulgaria led 12-9 in the fourth set before Team USA chipped away to tie it at 14-all, which included blocks from Priddy and Lee in the 5-2 run. After Bulgaria regained its two-point cushion at 17-15, Team USA scored five of the next six points with two Millar kills, a Ball block and two opponent errors for a 20-18 American advantage. The U.S. gained two match point opportunities at 24-22 after a Bulgarian service error. However, Bulgaria saved both chances to tie the set at 24-all. Millar answered with a kill and Stanley concluded the set at 26-24 with a kill.

Rebuilding Architecture
Architecture Today
Modern Architecture: A Critical History
Modern Architecture since 1900
Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue
The Decorated Diagram: Harvard Architecture and the Failure of the Bauhaus Legacy
How is the recent architect literature dealing with the transition between modernism and postmodernism? This unusually provocative moment when the art of building is straddling orthodoxy and revolt has produced some of the most spectacular books and periodicals that the profession has ever seen. It soon becomes clear, however, that much of this outpouring will not move the art of architecture forward. Neither buildings nor the books about buildings are escaping the dead ends and enchantment with trivia of the popular culture, or the more dubious, esoteric concerns of the academic culture.
Even the best efforts to achieve some kind of balanced or historical view of the current activity, or to draw an even-handed picture in critical terms, seem to fall into the trap of confrontation. One either joins the in-group or becomes hopelessly unfashionable, written off as a reactionary, unreconstructed thinker. For the critic to invoke a perspective requiring more than a brief attention span is an acute embarrassment. To ask questions about meaning or validity spoils the momentum and the fun.
The denunciation and denial industry, fueled by the ex-modernist Peter Blake's early exegesis, Form Follows Fiasco (1977), is still going strong. Attacks continue to come from both sides, usually from those least qualified to make them. The most vociferous critics of the postmodernists are the discarded and wounded of the modern movement, the rank and file of practitioners who have failed or refused to see the postmodernist light or have not been agile enough to change course and convictions when the signals became clear. The letters columns of the professional magazines have been filled with cries of anguish and betrayal and the cancellation of subscriptions as postmodernist projects appear. Among the most vocal of the antimodernists are repentant, born-again architects renouncing their modernist sins, of whom Philip Johnson has been the nimblest and most outrageous, a position he clearly relishes. This group includes the put-down artists who have rushed in to demolish reputations while ignoring the realities of architectural history, and the large, philistine fringe that never liked modernism anyway and is no longer ashamed to say so. The audience for Tom Wolfe's gossipy idol-smashing in From Bauhaus to Our House1 was already out there, waiting.
But much of value is being published for both the interpretation of the moment and the reconstruction of the immediate past. The range is wide, from distinguished original research to ordinary special pleading, with books divided rather neatly into revisionist history, polemical treatises, and scholarly, sometimes stunning monographs.
On the positive side, what is emerging in very piecemeal fashion and from many divergent viewpoints is a thoughtful evaluation of the modern movement in architecture, and a much more full and varied account of that movement, made possible by the passage of time and the disintegration of dogma. We are getting a new sense of the many-faceted art that modernism really was, with new insights into both accepted and forgotten figures. Ideas and trends omitted from the official accounts of…

It has been absolutely amazing to have my friends from all over the world. I can not imagine my life without these international, multicultural and diverse mates. Knowing them and spending time with them, not only broadens my horizons enormously, but also gives me a delightful lesson of life. Even my coooking has been influenced by cuisines from my friends' mother lands.
Yesterday, my lovely friend Marce, invited me for the very first cooking class. She showed me how to prepare CEVICHE, a traditional Peruvian fish meal that cooks itself in the acids from lime. The session was absolutely brilliant. It was an incredible experience to learn about all little steps that make this dish taste like heaven. Every step is important: the way you cut the fish, squeeze the limes and slice the onion.
First of all, when you make ceviche, it is crucial to set an appropriate atmosphere in your kitchen. Yes, the answer is – Peruvian music!!! I highly recommend a band called Novalima. Their music fantastically blends the Afro-Peruvian, Latin American and contemporary electronic sounds.
There are several kinds of ceviche based on different types of fish or "frutti di mari" but the basic ingredient, lime juice, is irreplaceable. With all due respect for Jamie Oliver's cooking knowledge and culinary innovations, according to my friend, he just didn't get that right when he substituted lime juice with lemon juice in his ceviche dish ( Jamie's American Road Trip ). You MUST use LIME juice and only lime juice to make an authentic ceviche. Having said that, I think we are ready for Marce's ceviche cooking instructions.
Serves 2 (large portions)
You will need very fresh ingredients:
3 tilapia filets – you may want to remove the red parts for esthetic reasons
9 limes (juice only) – don't squeeze the limes to the very end to avoid the bitterness of the white part of the lime skin!
1/4 fresh red chili
a pinch of Aji amarillo (Peruvian chili paste) (if missing add more fresh chili)
a dash of garlic powder
a pinch of pepper
1 red onion, finely sliced in a "rainbow" style (semicircles)
1 celery stick, finely diced (optional)
2 coriander springs, chopped; to garnish
To serve:
1 small canned sweet corn
1 cooked sweet potato
2 large lettuce leaves
2 handfuls of Peruvian popcorn
1. Rub the fish fillets with a bit of salt and rinse it under cold water
2. Cut the fish along the centre, then cut each half sidewise
3. Peel the onion, halve it and slice it in a rainbow style (semicircles); sprinkle with salt, rub it using your hands, rince the onion under cold water and let it rest
4. Rub the metal bowl with the piece of chili, then finely chop the chili
5. In a metal bowl mix together the chili and 1 teaspoon of salt; shake it and smash it gently with a spoon
6. Add a pinch of garlic powder and black pepper to the salt & chili mixture
7. Add the lime juice; stir everything gently checking if the sauce is salty enough. Make sure it's not too salty
8. Add the fish, check the seasoning, stir it gently and finally add the onion. Sprinkle the dish with fresh chopped coriander; leave it for a minute or two
9. The fish will nicely cook itself in this amazing lime & salt sauce!
10. Serve your ceviche with a few slices of cooked sweet potato and a handful of sweet corn on the "lettuce bed" – decorate the whole dish with some Peruvian popcorn
Ps: It is very difficult to tell how much salt this dish needs. It all depends on your personal preferences and on the type of salt you use (use fine table salt rather than sea salt). It is something that needs to be tested and eventually mastered.
I can't wait for a ceviche plate prepared 100% by me!

Medical Outreach work in Cape Coast
Volunteers who have been working on the Ghana medical programme have started to work on an outreach programme going into the Orphanages where volunteers work in and around Cape Coast. Ian Birbeck from the UK office visited the programme last week; " It was great to see the impact that volunteers were having helping to clean up wounds and small infections the children had. One of the problems at the orphanages is that basic cuts and injuries are sometimes left and become infected. The volunteers have made a real impact."
At the OOEIM orphanage outside of Cape Coast Tim Fazio from Australia and Charlotte Friis from Denmark were working on the project. The reward of a sweet was enough to persuade most of the children to come to the two gap year students and get checked out. One important reason for volunteers carrying out the work is to hopefully overcome the fear and suspicions some Ghanaians have about going to hospital. This creates some real problems in the hospitals with patients only coming to the doctor when the condition is really serious. It is hoped that the children will get used to being seen by the doctor without too much fear and trepidation.
Already many basic wounds have been tended to by volunteers. In one case they managed to spot a more serious condition and took the child into the Central Regional Hospital to get checked out by the experts.

Q&A Site Formspring Shuts Down
Formspring, the anonymous question-and-answer site launched close to three-and-a-half years ago, is closing its doors, the company announced in a blog post on Friday. While massively popular in the startup's early days, Formspring failed to continue growing its user base and engagement, despite hosting more than 30 million people on its platform. "While we've had great success in reaching a broad audience, it's been challenging to sustain the resources needed to keep the lights on," founder and CEO Ade Olonoh wrote. The news was first reported by TechCrunch.

In an exclusive report for Al-Masry Al-Youm, Mohamad Jarehi reports that protesters suspected of working against the Muslim Brotherhood are tortured and beaten with the knowledge of the police before being handed over for formal detention at a site just outside the presidential palace in Heliopolis.
Al-Masry Al-Youm spent three hours in total in the torture chambers established by the Muslim Brotherhood at the gates of the Ittihadiya Palace in the suburb of Heliopolis. The central torture chamber, which is located in front of the gate facing the Omar Ibn Abdel Aziz Mosque on al-Merghany Street, is secured with a cordon and iron barriers, where the Central Security Forces (CSF) prevent the access of any persons without the authorization of the Brotherhood.
We entered the chamber with a great difficulty, after a fellow journalist from the Misr 25 TV channel facilitated. The channel is owned by the Brotherhood. There are brigades and police officers in military uniforms, as well as others in civilian clothes from al-Nozha police station, who oversee the beatings, whippings and torture. Fifteen others from the group, distinguished by their strong bodies, are supervised by three bearded and well-dressed men who decide who will be in the chamber and who may leave, even if the person is a member of the Brotherhood.
The torture process starts once a demonstrator who opposes President Mohammed Morsi is arrested in the clashes or is suspected after the clashes end, and the CSF separate Morsi's supporters from his opponents. Then, the group members trade off punching, kicking and beating him with a stick on the face and all over his body. They tear off his clothes and take him to the nearest secondary torture chamber, from which CSF personnel, members of the Interior Ministry and the State Security Investigations Services (SSIS) are absent.
It is hard to determine how many locations there are, given that the torture chambers are established as near as possible to where a person is arrested. Before the interrogation process starts, they search him, seize his funds, cellphones or ID, all the while punching and slapping his face in order to get him to confess to being a thug and working for money.
They ask him why he took to the street, whether he got paid to take part in the protest and whether he supports Mohamed ElBaradei, founder of the Constitution Party, or Hamdeen Sabahi, founder of the Egyptian Popular Current or the dissolved Egyptian Nationalist movement. As long as this person denies the allegations, they beat him and insult his parents. After that, a person will videotape the interrogation and contact the Misr 25 TV channel to tell them about the interrogation and arrest.

After a while, the detainee is transported from the secondary torture chamber to the central one. On his way, the beatings and insults continue. Every time the prisoner encounters a member of the Brotherhood, that person gets in his share of the insults and beatings. They also may collectively insult him before he enters the central room, while a Brotherhood lawyer hands over his national ID card, his funds and his belongings to the SSIS chief. Some members of the group claim to have seized weapons from the detainee and handed them over to the officers at al-Nozha police station. However, we were unable to verify that.
A young detainee shouted in the faces of the men in the chamber: "I am a bearded sheikh, and Sheikh Safwat Hijazi will avenge me. I am a friend of all sheikhs. God is all I need and he is the best guardian; I am a Muslim just like you." Another bleeding man said, "I am educated; I am not a thug, leave me alone." A third person, born in the region of Sayyida Zaynab, was accused of following Fathi Srour, former speaker of the People's Assembly, and got a significant share of the beatings.
The health conditions of some of the prisoners was very bad and they were unable to answer questions. Some of them were bleeding all over their bodies, severely exhausted and not receiving any medical aid. However, some got a bottle of water to drink or something to use to stop their bleeding.
Once 10 people had been arrested, police officers and state security chiefs in the chamber demanded that the three Muslim Brotherhood leaders in the room secure passage for the prisoners to the nearby al-Nozha police station and prevented the Brotherhood members from attacking them again.
This all really happened.
Once the arrested group left, another arrived. Outside the central torture chamber, three people were detained and brought into the security room within the palace at the main gate on Al-Ahram Street.
The Brotherhood youth don't have control over this location. Their role ends once they hand over the arrestees to the guards. We successfully took a picture of one of the detained men, but the other two were already in the palace. The Brotherhood youth accused one of them of possessing a weapon and shooting a member of the group. Some detainees remained in the secondary torture chambers and were not handed over to the state security officers.
We left the place and found blood flowing on the sidewalk of the palace. Someone had tried to cover the blood with soil to remove it. However, no one will be able to clean the image of this blood from the memory of Egyptians for hundreds of years.

I've had some requests to put up some more notes from the Slapsticon Program Books, so here's one for the last film Buster Keaton ever made:
THE SCRIBE (Film-Tele Productions- Construction Safety Associations of Ontario released May, 1966)
Director: John Sebert, Producers: Ann and Kenneth Ray-Heeley, Screenplay: Paul Sutherland, Clifford Breggins, Camera: Mike Lente, Film and Sound Editor: Kenneth Ray-Heeley.
Cast: Buster Keaton, Cec Linder, Jack Creeley, Trevor Evans, Larry Reynolds, Curt Schiegel, Ed Mirch, Jonathan White.
Buster Keaton last year was one of the busiest of his very busy life; he had appeared in several Beach Pictures for American International, a film called FILM by Samuel Beckett, numerous television appearances, a feature film in Spain and another in Italy, and to wrap up a sixty-five plus year career, he starred in this half-hour industrial safety film for the Construction Safety Associations of Canada.
Shot in Toronto in the first week of October, 1965, when and where he celebrated his seventieth and final birthday, Keaton was certainly not a well man. Diagnosed with emphysema and inoperable lung cancer, he had refused to slow down. Some of his best work in the last few years had been making these short educational and sales films, and he had also done well in Canada of recent, making the ultimately unreleased and unfinished TEN GIRLS AGO with Bert Lahr in Toronto in 1962, travelling through the Great White North on a little putt-putt train coupe for the National Film Board of Canada in THE RAILRODDER in 1964. The $10,000 fee for what was basically a week's work was also probably too good to refuse. So Buster and Eleanor ventured off into Toronto in a chilly October to make one last little silent comedy.
THE SCRIBE wasn't seen much at the time, except by construction workers in Canada, and has been hard to find in even a decent faded color print ever since. Slapsticon is delighted to present the film in a recently uncovered print that is apparently in good condition. Just like THE HOMEOWNER, THE TRIUMPH OF LESTER SNAPWELL, and THERES NO BUSINESS LIKE NO BUSINESS, we have a short film that indicated that the producers just gave Buster his head and let him devise gags that illustrate the points they want to make. In other words, Buster's really in control, and that yields some gold in each of those films.
Buster plays a janitor at a newspaper mistaken for a reporter who is sent out to do a story on construction safety at a building site. Of course, sending Buster Keaton to a building site to research safety is like sending in Lester Maddox in to quell a race riot, and disaster strikes, each one illustrating in a funny, Keatonesque way the safety points on the "little list" he takes with him.
Though Buster is occasionally doubled (and contrary to popular belief, actually rather well doubled, there are times when you will mistakenly think that stuntman Larry Reynolds is actually Buster and visa-versa), it is indeed he up on the being-built building multi-stories above the ground. There may be those wanting to be appalled at the sight of a 70 year old dying man leaping about open girders, but this writer isn't one of them. I say atta-boy Buster, do not go gently into that long, dark night. He'd been doing that for sixty-seven of those seventy years, who was going to stop him now? In 1965, Chaplin and Lloyd were rich old men, holed up in their mansions with their memories and former glories, their best work behind them. Langdon, Laurel, Hardy, heck, even Ernie Kovacs were already gone. Short of breath and close to death, Buster is still doing it, and he did it until they planted him.
Buster Keaton went out doing what he was born to do and did best, with a lovely and loving wife, all the money and fame he needed, and the security in the knowledge that his place in posterity was achieved. No sad ending here, a few more years would have been nice, but it still was a sixty-five plus year career, unmatched except perhaps by George Burns and Groucho Marx, and at least George had Gracie to get him through the middle of it.
I wonder if the government hacks who trod around that building in Toronto that has now stood some forty-two years realize that they stand in hallowed ground, the place where Buster Keaton gave his last performance. There should be a plaque to dedicate that sort of thing, but there probably isn't, or some obsessive has already stolen it if there was. Better just to watch the film, definitely one of the few Canadian public safety films from the sixties anyone's gonna' watch now, and laugh. As Robert Youngson said at his most disgustingly maudlin, "Somewhere-----Ghosts may be listening….."

When You're Smiling!
" Smile , it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart."
Anthony J. D'Angelo
Back from Florida ahead of Hurricane Wilma, I asked my teenage son what he thought I should write about this time and he said 'doughnuts'. I explained that although I found the topic an intriguing one (my mind immediately leaping to how I could link this into an interesting piece), it really needed to be more relevant to what I do, not what he would like to be doing! So his next suggestion was 'Smiling'.
I nearly dismissed this until I remembered that while I had been working on the fourth module of my e-course today the topic of smiling had come up. It was in the context of self-confidence and how to develop it, in this case by meeting people with a smile and a friendly manner so as to engage and interest them. By asking people about themselves and really listening to their answers with a smile, not only will they feel comfortable and pleased to be around you, but your confidence will grow with each encounter. You will be remembered as much for your smile as who you are and what you do. As long as the smile is genuine and you use eye-contact you will come across as friendly and approachable – and confident. Smiling is such a powerful tool.
I couldn't leave it there, so did a search on Google and came up with the following:
More facts about smiling
• A smile is a universal expression of happiness and recognized as such by all cultures
• A smile is the most frequently used facial expression It takes as few as five pairs of facial muscles and as many as all 53 to smile
• Regardless of the precise number of muscles used, smiling causes far fewer muscles to contract and expand than frowning
• Smiling releases endorphins and makes us feel better
• Even 'faking' a smile can lead to feeling happier
• People are born with the ability to smile (They don't copy the expression, even babies who are born blind, smile)
• Babies reserve special smiles (Duchenne smiles of joy and happiness) for their loved ones
• A newborn shows a preference for a smiling face over a non-smiling face
• Women smile more than men
• Younger people smile more than older people. American males with high testosterone smile least of all.
• There are 18 different kinds of smile used in a variety of social situations
• Human beings can differentiate between the 'felt' (Duchenne) smile (of joy and happiness) and the social smile – 'it's in the eyes' (literally)
• A smiling person is judged to be more pleasant, attractive, sincere, sociable, and competent than a non-smiling person
• A person who studies laughter is called a 'gelotologist'
From www.raisingkids.co.uk
Can smiling help you to move forwards? Are you lacking in confidence and afraid to be noticed? Practice smiling. Think of what you can ask people about themselves and jot down some notes. Try it out on a family member, friend or a colleague that you trust. Think about those people who seem to always have a smile and a word for others. How do they make you feel? You can be like that too.
You can choose to be permanently grumpy or you can choose to cheer up and smile! Have you been putting off the smiles? By smiling you will be releasing endorphins in your brain which will make you feel better (see above). You can even trick your brain into believing you feel good by getting that smile on your face, even if you don't feel like it yet. Do it long enough and you won't have to fake it.
One of my favorite exercises is to have a 'Smile Day'. From the moment I get up I decide that I am going to smile at everyone I see. It doesn't matter if I know them or not, I will still smile, and often say 'Hello'. It is amazing how many people will smile back. Sometimes you don't get one in return, but most people are delighted to return it to you. By the end of the day I am much more happy and positive than when I started.
What makes you happy? What do you like doing? Where can you include more of this in your life?
Try and smile at at least one stranger each day. For the less confident this could be a challenge – but you can do it!
Happiness comes from many sources, including expressing ourselves creatively. What are you going to do this week to express yourself? I have planned a whole day of crafting, as I have been putting that on the back seat for quite a while. You don't need to commit to a whole day, just what you can.
A smile costs nothing, however it brings great richness to the recipient
