However, what Black Caesar has is Fred Williamson, his badass mutton chops, and a killer James Brown soundtrack. I really enjoy how the 1953 shoe shine boy prologue bleeds into the 1966-1973 narrative; you start to believe that Williamson??s Godfather of Harlem could strongarm his way into mob territory. The always dependable Julian Harris stops by for a quick turn as Williamson??s reformed, but rather sad rolling stone papa and Art Lund??s racist cop is perfectly villainous. Still, it??s a typical rise, fall story and I??m one of those kooks that prefers the mondo craziness of the film??s sequel, Hell Up In Harlem to this average crime saga. VF.

It's a little tricky to be Unci (Lakota for 'grandmother') to a first grader when Columbus Day rolls around. We had already processed the 'what makes the red man say ugh' scenes in Peter Pan, pointing out the differences between what someone imagines about Indians to what we really look like and do. Gathering some resolve, I mentioned to my takoja that he will probably hear in school that Columbus discovered America, but that is not really true because native people already lived in the land where Columbus landed, which really wasn't America. Still, one cannot explain to a first-grader the Doctrine of Discovery that dehumanized native people, like his Unci, to the point that they were meaningless and entirely disposable. In fact, last year, I spoke to a history class of high school juniors and they also were not familiar with the insidious legacy of Manifest Destiny. I began by quoting in a sing-song voice, "In fourteen hundred ninety-two …" and they readily responded, "Columbus sailed the ocean blue." I asked them, "Whose history are we learning?"
One of my friends is an Indian Education Specialist taking hits on the front lines of an urban school district. I asked her what native parents are saying about their relationship with the district. Quick reply, "They don't understand us. They don't have to get to know us" This speaks to many things, including cultural competency. It doesn't work for schools to tell native families, "we don't see color." Well, then you don't see me at all. Families and districts are left with conflict, misunderstanding, and distrust. What one could take time to understand is that many native families (and other minority groups, too) are fighting every day with lethal effects of intergenerational trauma. Examine how much has changed for Indians even in the history being taught, and then consider the harm of assigning a social studies project that required students to answer, "how would you go about conquering a group of people?" Hmm, look around my reservation … This assignment deeply disturbed a native student and family for reasons that should be apparent but turns out the district "didn't have to get to know them."
In Caenisha's earlier post on changes needed in higher education, I agree with her statements: The cause of civil rights is taught as an issue of our past, disregarding the continued legacy of Native genocide, immigrant exclusion, slavery, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration. So let's be honest about the cultural fabric of America and acknowledge the shaping of race on history…" I see hope in her thought that change can be born in "the everyday relationships, interactions and experiences between students, staff, and faculty." To do this, we will be people who don't have to but want to get to know each other.
I appreciated Michelle's eye-opening post that "super incarceration is in fact new age slavery," and "we need to find out way out of unjust access to education." We also need to find a way out of unjust education and teach the entire truth, including how this country treated the native host people of this land. When we teach and learn the whole truth, maybe we can move forward together and leave a more just history behind us.

Author(s): An Leysen (Illustrator)
Once upon a time there was a poor and lonely carpenter named Gepetto who lived all by himself in a small room with one tiny window to let in some light. The carpenter decided to make a puppet that could keep him company, named him Pinocchio, and put so much love into making him that he became more than just a regular wooden puppet. Pinocchio could dance and jump, without anyone pulling any strings. He looked just like a real boy. And that was exactly what he wanted to be. But to become a real boy, Pinocchio first had to learn that he should never lie the classic tale fun of detailed illustrations and with a surprising ending. Hint: dream.
An Leysen is an art teacher in secondary school. Her experience with children has inspired her to start writing and illustrating her own books.

A former Houston dentist was formally charged Monday with failing to properly treat a sedated 4-year-old patient who was left with permanent brain damage in what should have been a routine procedure.
Bethaniel Jefferson, 40, who lost her license to practice in Texas in November, was indicted by a Harris County grand jury on a felony charge of causing serious bodily injury to a child by omission, according to the district attorney's office.
The child's mother, Courissa Clark, said she was "overjoyed" when she heard the news.

Format in Excel / 2003 / 2007 / 2010 / 2013 / 2016
How to create an automatically extended or dynamic drop-down listWhen you work with data in Excel, often you need to add more and more of new data. However, it takes some time to update formulas, charts, tables, when you add new data. Excel proposes functions that can help to customize your data and avoid routine updating. This tip is about creating an automatically extended (also known as dynamically updated or just dynamic) drop-down lists.
How to create a computable drop-down list
How to create a dependent drop-down listWhen you fill data in some spreadsheet, it can be necessary to create dependent drop-down lists. The organization of these drop-down lists can be different – they can be filled step-by-step from left to right in the same row (like in the example below), cascading or even computed (see How to create a computable drop-down list).
How to copy computed subtotals in ExcelWhen you compute subtotals in your spreadsheet, it can be necessary to select only subtotals and copy them to another sheet for future processing. If you select subtotals and copy them using copy-paste (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V), Excel paste all source data with subtotals. This tip demonstrates the workaround that allows you copy just rows with subtotals.

Windsway (Live Ember LER-007) 1980 Canada *
Highly talented Canadian male/female outfit whose custom album excels at a progressive hippie folk-rock style worthy of labels like Flying Fish or Rounder. Just a glance over the instruments in the credits – fiddle, banjo, cello, mandolin, dulcimer, flute, recorder – and you can tell these people are gonna be on the folksy side. All that plus the usual components (acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, piano, organ), plus a few "huh?" items (Hawaiian windbell, lapslaps, glass chimes, fogelschwantz, over-tones). Musically they're quite diverse, including some Scots-Irish folk influences on 'Promenade', 'Coming In The Clouds', the Richard Thompson-ish 'You've Given Yourself' and the instrumental title track. 'Over Waves', 'Yesterday, Today, Forever' and 'Think On These Things' are all lovely acoustic ballads with female vocals (the latter also includes a jazzy flute and electric guitar interlude). Blues and bluegrass are sampled for Love Song's 'Front Seat Back Seat', the album's only cover tune (although three songs are noted as having been adapted from traditional melodies). Moving electric guitar and pedal steel solos embrace 'Stone To Gold', a graceful country rock excursion ala The Eagles or . 'Lover And Friend' is a strong nearly eight-minute progressive track that begins as a piano ballad before building to a harder rock edge that includes beautiful use of electric violin. From , . Attractive tree cover painting. A really great record – some of the most skillful, creative and artistic folk sounds I've heard. (The Archivist, 4th edition by Ken Scott).

40 Year Old Virgin (Universal)
It's the best reviewed movie of the year. (Rotten Tomatoes)
Wrong. Virgin did rack up some raves, and scored 84% on RT's Tomatometer. But 19 films this year scored 90% or higher. Would you sleep with a movie that lies like this?
Everything Is Illuminated (Warner Independent)
Logan Hill, New York Magazine: "Schreiber's stylish indie adaptation is ... undeniably moving, hewing as it does to the novel's central virtue, its astounding empathy."
Actual line: "Schreiber's stylish indie adaptation is necessarily a simpler thing: less funny, less ambitious, but still undeniably moving, hewing as it does to the novel's central virtue, its astounding empathy."
Green Street Hooligans (Freestyle Releasing)
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: "Starts fast and rarely lets up."
Not quoted: "This pumped-up, accelerated pace works for its seemingly innumerable fight scenes, but the truth is that once you have seen one glass bottle shatter over a guy's head, you have pretty much seen them all."
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (Screen Gems)
Earl Dittman, Wireless Magazines: "... A shocking, top-notch supernatural thriller unlike any you've seen before or will likely see again."
Earl, Earl, Earl. Won't you ever learn?
Underclassman (Miramax)
Earl Dittman, Wireless Magazine: "100% hilarious with non-stop laughs! 'Underclassman' is exhilarating and action-packed."
Guess not.
Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV: "Mick Cannon gets an A+! He's witty, charming and fun to watch."
Shawn, Shawn, Shawn. Won't you ever learn?
An Unfinished Life (Miramax)
Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV: "****! Classic American cinema. Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Lopez and Josh Lucas are at the top of their game."
Just how high is the top of J.Lo.'s game?
Brothers Grimm (Dimension)
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: "Eye-popping fun!"
Not quoted: "If you're a Gilliam junkie, as I am, you go with it, even when the script by Ehren Kruger (The Skeleton Key) loses its shaky hold on coherence."
Earl Dittman, Wireless Magazine: "****! Brilliant! Wildly entertaining!"
These are from video boxes at my local video store.
Sahara (Paramount)
Stephen Holden, New York Times: "... A delirious escape into adventure-serial heaven. Amid its madcap derring-do ... 'Sahara' has the timing and stamina of a marathon runner. As ''Sahara'' careers between swashbuckling silliness and semi-serious comment, it builds up reserves of energy and good will that pay off when it bursts into its final sprint, a rootin'-tootin' 21-gun finale ..."
Actual line: A fusion of old and new, it both is and isn't a delirious escape into adventure-serial heaven. Amid its madcap derring-do, the movie inserts clear, simple alarms about environmental protection, African despotism, global interdependence and bureaucratic cowardice. ... The two-hour-plus film has the timing and stamina of a marathon runner. As "Sahara" careers between swashbuckling silliness and semi-serious comment, it builds up reserves of energy and good will that pay off when it bursts into its final sprint, a rootin'-tootin' 21-gun finale as satisfying as it is preposterous."
Not quoted: "It may not be 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', but 'Sahara,' the screen adaptation of Clive Cussler's sprawling African adventure yarn, is a movie that keeps half a brain in its head while adopting the amused, cocky smirk of the Indiana Jones romps. ... Once again, [Penelope] Cruz's fiery physical intensity goes only so far in compensating for her language barrier, but most of her sparse dialogue is watered-down doctor talk. ... Even with order so strictly imposed, 'Sahara' has more story than it can comfortably accommodate. It brashly, shrewdly pretends otherwise. ... It's all sleight of hand, of course, but 'Sahara' lopes into the distance with the easygoing swagger of a con man who has just pulled off a $100 million scam."
Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV: "Spectacular! It's 'Indiana Jones' and 'James Bond' rolled into one incredibly fun film to watch."
Mindhunters (Dimension)
Wireless Magazine: "A first-rate thriller that keeps you guessing 'til the end!"
These blurbs are from ads in the New York Times.
Rome (HBO)
Cleveland Plain Dealer: "Astounding!"
Actual line: "...the attention to detail, right down to graffiti scrawled on Roman walls, is astounding."
Not quoted: "HBO's awkward stab at a series is being made with a programming weapon that's often blunt, dull and unwieldy. ... Where 'Rome' gets tripped up is in the uneven performances and lackluster writing. This is what truly causes the fall of this particular Roman empire."
Entertainment Weekly: "Fantastic ... one of the most ambitious TV series in history."
Not quoted: "Rome sometimes feels like it was written by a particularly awful color commentator who won't shut up and let us enjoy the game."
The bit about "one of the most ambitious TV series in history" comes from EW's table of contents.
People: "Magnificent"
Actual line: "... viewers can expect to do a fair amount of sloggingtime is wasted on a couple of fictional centurions. But there's magnificent acting in the historical roles."
Howard Kissel, New York Daily News: "A major work with major assets!"
Not quoted: "These Tin Age musicals have no higher goal than taking tourists' money, which is why they have scores drawn from familiar music and plots that resemble cartoons. ... [set designer David] Rockwell's contributions will sustain 'All Shook Up' through what will doubtless be many cast changes over the years. Would that there was half as much wit in Joe DiPietro's hack script."
These blurbs come from book covers, publishers' websites, and ads in the New Yorker.
I Am Charlotte Simmons, by Tom Wolfe (Amazon)
Henry Alford, Newsday: "Our pre-eminent social realist...trains his all-seeing eye on the institution of the American university. ... Wolfe's rhapsodic prose style finds its perfect target in academia's beer-soaked bacchanals."
Not quoted: "Clichéd and at times agonizing to read ... Wonderful details and a spirited prose style can aid, but not save, an idea that is at heart a cliché. Ultimately, a lurid carnival is a lurid carnival. You thrill to the pretty colors, and then you want to head home."
Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times: "Wolfe's dialogue is some of the finest in literature, not just fast but deep. He hears the cacophony of our modern lives."
Not quoted: "There's a lot more heat in the novel's locker room scenes than radiates off any of the females, who are either 'trolls,' 'submissive lab rabbit[s]' or girls tarted up for an evening. The boys may be Neanderthals, but at least they're alive. ... His characters are burdened, often to the point of capsizing, by his stereotypes: the insecure jock, the Jew without money, the whining intellectual. An author has to build his characters up from scratch, but so often Wolfe's seem made from a kit."
Michael Dirda, The Washington Post: "Brilliant ... I couldn't stop reading it. ... Tom Wolfe can make words dance and sing and perform circus tricks, he can make the reader sigh with pleasure."
Not quoted: "But is this an honest portrait of contemporary undergraduate life? I don't think so. ... If [Charlotte] loses her virginity or gets drunk one weekend, these must inexorably lead to mental breakdown and the ruin of her academic career. This is patently unrealistic and sexist, not to add distinctly archaic. ... [Wolfe] has grown into an unremitting scold."
Francine Prose, Los Angeles Times Book Review: "A lot of fun ... Hilarious."
Actual line: "Much of it is a lot of fun, and there are, along the way, hilarious scenes."
Not quoted: "We are distracted by doubts about the plausibility of much of what we are reading. ... Throughout, you can feel the writer's anxiety manifesting itself in an almost Tourette's-like inability to refrain from explaining the jokes."
Indecision, by Benjamin Kunkel (Amazon)
Entertainment Weekly: "Kunkel has succeeded in crafting a voice of singular originality."
Actual line: "Yes, Kunkel has succeeded in crafting a voice of singular originalityone that you want to punch in the mouth."
Not quoted: "Wilmerding is a character whose mind and voice are constantly running, and large swaths of Indecision are consumed by his annoying faux-philosophical musings."
Sarcastic criticism, incompletely quoted, becomes seemingly sincere praise in Gelf's Bogus Blurb of the Week.
New Yorker: "Kunkel's narrator has an appealingly rascally voice, and the author is expert at depicting highbrow buffooneryat an all-night Ecstasy party, flesh and philosophy commingle to hilarious effect...crisp prose."
Actual line: "Kunkel's narrator has an appealingly rascally voice, and the author is expert at depicting highbrow buffooneryat an all-night Ecstasy party, flesh and philosophy commingle to hilarious effectbut the book, for all its crisp prose, can't escape the staleness of its conceit."
Not quoted: "The satirical springboard of Kunkel's first novela neurotically aimless New Yorker takes medication that he believes will instill in him the ability to make commitmentsis rather creaky. Moreover, the Big Pharma plot only partially masks the fact that this is yet another novel in which a charming, Nick Hornby-style layabout is mechanically cajoled into semi-maturity."
Publishers Weekly: "Accomplished...This entertaining book has screenplay written all over it, from the hot Dutch Natasha to the shambling cute Dwightnot to mention Harvard-educated, New York literati Kunkel himself."
Actual line: Annoying but accomplished, this entertaining book has screenplay written all over it, from the hot Dutch Natasha to the shambling cute Dwightnot to mention Harvard-educated, New York-literati Kunkel himself.
Library Journal: "Zany...Its humor...bursts forth in several madcap and welcome scenes...A serious comment on American values and habits... A lighthearted romp through the jungle of love and life."
Actual line: The title of journalist/editor Kunkel's debut novel aptly sums up the reader's experience. Is irresolute protagonist Dwight Wilmerding annoying or appealing? Is the plotabout a privileged twentysomething from New York City who jets off to Ecuador on a lark, then shakes up a prep-school reunion Wes Anderson stylesuperfluous or salient? The typical accoutrements of new fiction are present in Indecision's slouchy, womanizing male protagonist and his exploratory drug use, but Kunkel adds a few zany twists and the singular, casual voice of Dwight. What saves the book from being frivolousother than its preachy conclusionis its humor, which bursts forth in several madcap and welcome scenes. In the end, it is Kunkel who seems undecided about whether his book should be a serious comment on American values and habits (the effect of 9/11 or our pharmaceutical dependencies, for instance) or a lighthearted romp through the jungle of love and life.
Kirkus Reviews: "Laughs, sex, and machete-wielding...well-paced."
Not quoted: "Those who don't become impossibly annoyed with the hapless, initially whiny lead will enjoy seeing this well-paced tale through to the end."
The Wisdom of Crowds, by James Surowiecki (Amazon)
New York Times Book Review: "The author has a knack for translating the most algebraic of research papers into bright expository prose."
Actual line: "The author has a knack for translating the most algebraic of research papers into bright expository prosethough the swarm of anecdotes at times makes it difficult to follow the progress of his argument."
BusinessWeek: "Provocative....Musters ample proof that the payoff from heeding collective intelligence is greater than many of us imagine."
Actual line: "Surowiecki isn't an ideologue, doesn't shy from evidence that counters his theoryand isn't always persuasive. Still, he musters ample proof that the payoff from heeding collective intelligence is greater than many of us imagine."
The Highest Tide, by Jim Lynch (Amazon)
Amazon.com: This absolutely luminous first novel has all the earmarks of a classic.
Amazon's reviewer, Valerie Ryan, really did write this. And publisher Bloomsbury liked it so much, it printed the line twice in Highest Tide's New Yorker ad.
Oblivion, by David Foster Wallace (Amazon)
Walter Kirn, New York Times Book Review: "He has the vocabulary. He has the energy. He has the big ideas. He has the attitude."
Actual line: "He has the vocabulary. He has the energy. He has the big ideas. He has the attitude. Yet too often he sounds like a hyperarticulate Tin Man."
Banishing Verona, Margot Livesey (Amazon)
Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "Tantalizing ... Livesey has taken a familiar plot device and has turned it into such a delicious literary construct that it seems new."
Not quoted: "The conclusion of 'Banishing Verona' proves to be a huge disappointment, so ambiguous that it seems to require repeated readings of the final page, but with no greater insight ultimately revealed. The fate of love may be that confounding in real life, but Livesey's coy close to 'Banishing Verona' leaves a sour aftertaste that seems likely to overshadow the considerable pleasures the novel previously has provided. Readers, after their investment of 321 pages in a novel, deserve more than a Sphinx-like puzzle."
Widow of the South, Robert Hicks (Amazon)
Entertainment Weekly: "This is a sensitive account of an era that seems to fascinate readers ceaselessly."
Actual line: Hicks occasionally succumbs to melodrama and his copious research can resonate too loudly, but for the most part, this is a sensitive account of an era that seems to fascinate readers ceaselessly."
The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios, by Yann Martel (Amazon)
People: "Share[s] the clever plotting and rich humanism that made Pi such a smash."
Actual line: "These three stories and a novella share the clever plotting and rich humanism that helped make 2002's Pi such a smash. But here they jostle with contrived conceits..."
Becoming Something: The Story of Canada Lee, by Mona Z. Smith (Amazon)
Kirkus: "Restore[s] a heroic figure to his rightful place in American cultural and political history."
Actual line: "The author's pedestrian prose and laundry-list approach to narrative, alas, don't spark much excitement. Nonetheless, a valuable first attempt to restore a heroic figure to his rightful place in American cultural and political history."

Flying Beaver Bar & Grill
This popular and scenic bar and grill is perched on pilings over the Fraser River, originally as a place to get a bite while waiting for seaplane flights to points more remote. It has since been commandeered by boisterous post-shift airport employees as a convenient watering hole (warning: it can be loud later in the evening). Food runs the gamut of Canadian pub classics nothing is too imaginative, but you're here for the view (seaplanes buzzing past, seals and beavers swimming underneath) and drinks. The Flying Beaver's own shuttle bus takes drinking customers home if they live nearby.

DETROIT — The return of captain Erik Karlsson helped the Ottawa Senators make their point Monday night.
And, it could turn out to be big.
Yes, the Senators saw their losing streak extended to five games, but they picked up a point in the process and that could turn out to be huge when they're counted up at the end of the season as the club dropped a 5-4 shootout decision to the Detroit Red Wings Monday night in Ottawa's final visit to the Joe Louis Arena.
The point gives the Sens 92 points, one back of the Toronto Maple Leafs in the battle for second place in the Atlantic Division. The Leafs beat Buffalo Sabres 4-2 on Monday. Boston also had 92 points.
Making a surprising return after missing two games with a foot injury, Karlsson had a two-point effort. Evgeny Svechnikov scored the winner in his NHL debut in the seventh round of the shootout while Colin White, making his debut, was denied to give the Wings the extra point.
Centre Kyle Turris, who has been one of the club's most consistent performers, had a three-point effort while Fredrik Claesson and Alex Burrows also beat Petr Mrazek during regulation. Gustav Nyqvuist had two for the Wings against Sens' goalie Craig Anderson while Dylan Larkin and Frans Nielsen also chipped in for Detroit.
The action in overtime was frantic but the Senators did finish the game without winger Bobby Ryan, who left in the third. Still they were happy to get the point.
"It was good," said Karlsson, who arrived at the rink at 5:05 p.m. "We battled hard. A couple of bad goals with the puck bounces but we did everything we could come back and I think we controlled the most part of the game."
Karlsson skated in Ottawa at 10 a.m., felt good and told GM Pierre Dorion he wanted to play. He flew on a small jet to Detroit and even his teammates didn't know he was coming.
"I felt good enough to play. I got here as soon as I could. Nobody really knew anything until I showed up here," Karlsson said.
Claesson tied it up 4-4 at 12:31 with only his third of the season to erase a two-goal deficit for the Senators and send it to OT.
The goals came fast and furious in the third. Only moments after the Wings pulled out to a two-goal lead, Turris scored his 27th of the season at 8:22 to cut Detroit's lead to 4-3. Twenty-two seconds earlier, Nyquist tipped the puck by Anderson to give the Wings a 4-2 lead and the picture wasn't pretty.
It was Nyquist's first of the game at 5:53 that gave the Wings a 3-2 lead.
"It was huge (to get the point). It kind of stops the slide and gets us going the other way," said Turris. "It's easy to get caught up on the losing. We really just want to stop it. It was a big comeback point for us and we just want to carry some momentum into tomorrow night."
The Senators tied it up 2-2 only 51 seconds into the third on a goal Mrazek probably couldn't believe he allowed. Karlsson's shot from the corner below the goal-line bounced off Mrazek and by him. Ottawa needed that only badly. That was Karlsson's 16th of the year, his 70th point this season and Anderson even got an assist.
The Senators had Karlsson back, but they're still missing big pieces. Blueliner Marc Methot and defenceman Cody Ceci are both sidedlined while winger Zack Smith is also out for the balance of the regular season. That's no excuse and as alternate captain Dion Phaneuf noted before the game injuries can't be a crutch.
Though he got off to a strong start, Anderson gave up a horrible goal to Larkin with the club shorthanded. His backhander from below the goal-line somehow bounced off Anderson and into the net to give the Wings a 2-1 lead at 6:57. That just can't happen in crucial games like these.
Both teams had a quick start to the second.
Only 1:06 after the Wings opened the scoring, Burrows tied it up with his first goal in 10 games at 1:46 of the second to tie it up 1-1. His shot from the circle beat Mrazek on the glove side and it was Burrows' fifth since he was dealt to Ottawa the deadline.
That helped soften the blow of the opening goal by the Wings. Trying to make a pass out front, Nielsen got a fortunate bounce off the skate of Binghamton callup Ben Harpur to open only 40 seconds into the period. The puck bounced up and beat Anderson high on the glove side.
White said he was on the bench when he got word he was going to shoot.
"Someone told me I was going to go then. I thought I had it upstairs. There was some tough luck there. It kind of rolled on me," said White.
It would been quite a night if Karlsson had come back and White had been able to extend the shootout but the Senators will take the point and prepare for the rematch with the Wings Tuesday night.

Janet Jackson's hands were full on Mother's Day because she spent it with a firm grip on her adorable 1-year-old son, Eissa Al Mana.
Janet and the kid spent Sunday in a Beverly Hills park. Janet's bodyguard also accompanied them and looks like he's picked up some manny skills ... toting the kid around. No word if the matching blue outfits was a planned thing.
Eissa's dad is businessman Wissam Al Mana, but he hasn't been in the picture since he and Janet split last year, right after Eissa was born. It was a nasty breakup with the two fighting over custody, but looks like Janet's all smiles now ... at least on Mom's Day.
We're guessing Janet spent part of the day with her mom, Katherine, who's living in the L.A. area.

Want to clear your mind and your head? Therapy in Motion combines physical activity with cognitive therapy to help you get "unstuck" and moving forward again.
Ideal for parents of infants & toddlers, as well as anyone who finds it difficult to balance daily life with self-care, we'll walk in a loop from my office for appx 55 minutes, addressing the issues that are most pressing for you. The walking pace can be as slow or as quick as you prefer - no matter the speed, we'll cover plenty of ground in our session. Babies & toddlers in carriers and/or strollers are welcome to join us as we walk.
Why do I offer this? I believe that combining walking with cognitive therapy helps postpartum parents move forward more quickly, and doesn't force time-sapped parents to choose between emotional and physical needs.
Currently, there's very little research on combining walking with therapy - but it's been my experience that clients make progress faster, and I hope to conduct future research on this topic.
Currently, outdoor sessions will be offered until first significant snowfall, and then resume when the sidewalks/roads are clear.

It's important to have knowledge surrounding the pipe layout underneath your house. This is especially relevant before any digging projects get started; especially if you plan on using a mechanical excavator.
The HSA Code of Practice highlights the risk of mechanical excavators and that they should not be used within 500mm of a gas distribution pipe.
Hitting a Gas Pipe can be Costly and Dangerous
Pure natural gas is odourless and colourless. An unpleasant odour is added to assist in the identification of gas leaks. The smell can be described as rotting eggs, or, sometimes.
If you detect any odours, especially during digging, the area must evacuated. All electrical and mechanical equipment should be immediately shut down to mitigate the risk of fire or explosion.
Before you Begin any Digging Project, Be sure you Tick all the Boxes
If you don't know the layout of your pipes, do not dig. The Australian Pipelines & Gas Association can help provide you with the contact information you need.
Fix the Leaks
It is important to fix all leaks, as they could cause a potential fire explosion.
Minor gas leaks can affect vegetation, which often leads to the decline and death of grass or trees. Small animals and birds are especially sensitive to the toxic gases that are emitted from gas leaks.
If you must dig, we advise you to use tools such as shovels and spades, as these pose the lowest risk of striking and damaging a gas pipe
If you are in the need of assistance, contact Ruttley Services; we're here to lend a helping hand.

In the wake of continuing terrorist attacks, changes have once more been made to the ceremonial Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. Between August and March, the spectacular military procession which delights sightseers in London had been taking place on alternate days, this will now switch to regular days on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and at an earlier time 11:00 am.
There have been concerns since the lorry attacks in Nice and Berlin, and the Metropolitan Police have stepped up the security of the parade. Certain roads around the Palace are closed for the duration of the parade, and additional barriers are situated to protect the soldiers. Armed police are also evident during the parade, and no doubt there are also covert resources which are available if required.
Buckingham Palace is one of three Royal residences that has a "Changing of the Guard", the others being St James's Palace and Windsor Castle, no information has been given about changes at the other locations. I could be assumed though the situation is being closely monitored.
Since 2013, the ceremonial guards have all come from the Brigade of Guards (Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Welsh Guards and Irish Guards). Coming from either Wellington Barracks next to Buckingham Palace or Victoria Barracks in Windsor. In addition to these, there is also a battalion of line infantry stationed at the Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich who are available for ceremonial duties.
The threat of international terrorism is currently deemed as "severe" in the United Kingdom, with several volatile areas around the globe which seem to be ever changing as the weeks go on. Though we have been lucky that an attack has not succeeded on British soil for some time, it only needs one small lapse in concentration. We can be justifiably proud of our security services, but we can all help them by being ever vigilant.

For home owners, a working septic system is a requirement making it an essential system that need to be preserved. If a septic system is not maintained, there can be a number of repercussions such as flooding in the basement or residential or commercial property, important parts breaking down creating interruption, sewer back up right into the home, and also a lot more.
Consequently residential pipes services are crucial not just for maintaining a pipes system, however additionally for prolonging the life of the plumbing system. The life span of a septic tank with appropriate care and maintenance is about 25 years. Consequently, it is necessary that you take care of your plumbing system.
Employing An Emergency Plumber in Yellow Spring
The specialist services of a plumber will assist you maintain your pipes system. Below is a checklist of vital domestic pipes services offered by plumbing professionals: Septic tank Cleansing and also Repair In time, the septic lines can fill up with waste. When this happens, obstructions can establish causing sewage system line back up. To prevent debris obstructions, a plumbing has the tools to completely clean out sewer lines. On top of that, a plumbing could send a video assessment camera via the system to get an aesthetic of the condition of the interior of the pipes.
Local Resources: 24 hour plumber near me
In addition, an expert plumbing has the ability and also equipment to drain a sewage-disposal tank which is a something every house owner should have done every one to three in Yellow Spring, West Virginia relying on just how much the septic tank is made use of. Pumping a septic system is required as it stops way too much sludge from collecting in the container which could create troubles such as damage to the septic system and also sewer back up in cellar or drain field.
Completely cleaning up the septic lines and also having the septic tank pumped will expand the life of the sewer system. It will certainly likewise assist avoid pricey repair works as well as a pricey sewage-disposal tank replacement. In addition to cleaning services, a plumber can likewise mount septic tanks, whether it is for a brand-new house or a homeowner is getting a septic tank upgrade.

Digital Clones, Alternative ISPs, Closed Networks and Brainwave Tech
Disclaimer: the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in the newsletter belong solely to us, and not to our employers. @clemnt @ndebock
Hi everybody, thanks for reading the second issue of our newsletter. This month we'll talk about brainwave headsets, digital clones and private networks. Hope you'll enjoy it!
Your brain is a semi-open book: closing your eyes and your mouth is not enough to keep your secrets.
Let's face it, in 2018 we are still just scraping the surface of how the human brain works. The best place to start, if you have a full day in front of you, is to read Tim Urban's post.
In terms of products and companies, CBinsight and Crunchbase published two excellent reports about VC investments in Neurotech which are on the rise ($600M was invested in the recent months). If look at the list of companies working on Neurotech, you will notice that the majority is based on ElectroEncephalogram.
Electroencephalogram is not a new technique. It has been around for close to a century (the first EEG of a human brain was recorded in 1924), and it consists in "reading" the brain electric activity, a.k.a the brainwaves, thanks to electrodes placed along the scalp.
I am not going to rewrite wikipedia but here is a simple definition I found:
"Brainwaves, also known as neural oscillations, are the rhythmic electrical activation of large groups of neurons. These oscillations are labelled according to the frequency with which they occur, and different frequencies are loosely correlated with certain kinds of cognitive function." Source
To keep it simple you have electricity going through your neurons when they communicate information and seen from the skull this creates an electric wave with different frequencies and each frequency will indicate a certain level of focus or relaxation.
Keep in mind that EEG is a non invasive technique that catches the signal from outside the brain. This is where software becomes useful to first clean the signal and then interpret it (here is a good Quora post which explains how ML is used for that purpose).
What is interesting is that this technology was mainly used and developed by researchers and doctors in labs and hospitals, but now more and more entrepreneurs are working on brainwave products targeted directly at the end-user for very specific use cases that go beyond healthcare.
Basically we're going from this type of headsets:
To this type of headsets:
What is noticeable is that these startups focus on very specific use cases like losing weight, improving the way you study or monitoring your sleep quality and many more. They can't compete with multi-purpose / high end headsets in terms of performance and precision, so they concentrate on "narrow applications".
Clearly we're only at the beginning of this trend, a lot of readers will probably tell us that these startups are "over-promising" and that the results delivered by these headsets are probably limited at the moment (yes, some are probably "bordeline" scam).
We won't argue with that. We are not experts and have only tried some of them over a short period of time. However what's interesting is the dynamic of the trend and to think of the bigger picture (after all it's our job :-)):
- We expect an increasing number of "brainwave — EEG based" tech startups to emerge in the years to come.
- They will address an increasing number of use cases not necessarily linked to healthcare. Ex: a headset that you use to monitor and improve your performances while playing video games, or that you will use with dating apps to visualize how your brain reacts to the pictures of a potential date and see if both users are compatible).
- The software and hardware components keep improving so it's not crazy to think that these dedicated headsets will slowly disappear and will be integrated directly in your glasses or in the headphones you use to listen to music (and will make recommendations based on how your brain react to the music you listen). Think of Fitbit trackers which started as dedicated fitness wristbands and are now integrated in watches, rings or earphones.
As a conclusion it's worth insisting that EEG is only one of many methods that let one "read" the brain activity. Several other approaches exist such as fMRI or electrodes implanted directly within the brain. We'll try to cover some of them in the coming months.
Our must-reads this month:
- The brain is a predictive machine. Here is a fascinating article that explains how the brain is an anticipation machine and adapts with experience.
- Computer synapse : we talked a lot about the brain in this month post, but computer chips are starting to mimic brain synapses.
- A good piece in the Guardian on a journalist testing different cognitive enhancement tools and drugs.

Space/Time & Reality
Meet your digital clone
You've probably already seen this video of a fake Barack Obama:
Tremendous progress is also being made on the voice side. It's becoming almost impossible to tell the difference between an audio recording made by a human from its fake AI generated version:
So you probably see us coming, if you combine both you'll soon be able to create fake videos of people saying stuff they've never said, and it'll be impossible to tell whether it's real or not.
And it's only the beginning. We think that the next step will be to imitate/clone your personality. Feed a deep learning machine with all your emails conversations, your WhatsApp messages, your Facebook and Twitter feeds, the interactions you have with your voice assistant (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home), the blog posts you wrote and, boom, an AI will be able to imitate some aspects of your personality and reproduce some of your habits.
Such technology could be used, as usual, for good reasons (as your personal assistant who'll answer some of the messages you receive on Whatsapp or Facebook), for bad reasons (to steal someone's identity) and for more "awkward" reasons (create the digital clone of someone who died so you can interact with her/him).
Another parallel trend will grow in response to these applications: services that will help you tell real from fake. Factmata is an 'anti fake news' media platform which recently raised $1M; We wouldn't be surprised to see similar services emerge to help people spot AI generated videos, voice recordings or even "fake" online interactions (Is it really you who posted this message on Facebook?).

The future of the internet might be Alternative Internet Providers & Closed Networks
Before we dig into the rise of alternative Internet Service Providers and closed networks it's maybe worth recapping how the internet works (we'll keep it short, don't worry). Basically internet is a network of networks. It's a huge number of networks which are interconnected.
But all networks are not equal in importance, there's actually a hierarchy.
Let's illustrate it with a concrete example. Let's say you setup a home network, connecting your computers together through a WIFI, a LAN or whatever you want. Your network is quite limited (it's shared across a couple of computers only), but it's a network. Now, if you want to have access to Facebook, Google or other websites, you need to connect your home network to another network which is connected to Facebook & Google servers. And this is your internet provider (ISP).
The biggest internet service providers belong to "Tier 1 networks" (many are big Telco companies) and are on top of the food chain. They can access every public network available directly or indirectly (this is why you pay for them), and they own a big chunk of the internet infrastructure: from the cables and optic fibers installed in our cities to the huge undersea cables which connect the different continents. We won't go into too much details, but other lower ranked Internet providers also exist (Tier 2, Tier 3). They own less infrastructure (sometimes even none) and need to "pay" their access to the internet from the bigger players. Your home network is, sorry for you, really low ranked in this hierarchy and doesn't have much power.
This hierarchy explains why:
- Many Tier 1 networks are against Net Neutrality. Since they have a dominant position and own a big chunk of the pipes, they want to be able to charge differently depending on the source of the traffic they route.
- Many Tier 1 ISPs are not interested in serving smaller markets like rural areas.
- Companies like Google and Facebook want to own more infrastructure (E.g: Google optic fiber).
The rise of "alternative Internet Providers"
In this environment we're seeing an increasing number of alternative, and very often local, Internet Providers being created. These smaller internet providers can be private companies, associations or even local administrations (community broadbands) which provide internet access to their communities with various aims in mind: granting access for underserved populations, for cost reasons, to guarantee Net Neutrality, to push for local economic or social development, to guarantee privacy and more.
For instance the number of community broadbands (internet provided by municipalities) in the US has almost doubled the last three years from 450 listed in 2015 to 750 in 2018.
Even in France, where current regulation ensures Net Neutrality, forces the major ISPs to cover rural regions and forbid them to monitor and resell their users' consumption habits, several alternative ISPs exist (for example Illico an internet provider which is run by a local association preaching for Net Neutrality). Another great example of such providers is Gufi in Spain which has over 33,000 active nodes and about 46,000 km of wireless links.
But how can they provide internet independently? As I explained above "anyone" can start its own Internet Service Provider by renting/buying access from the bigger players. Some of these alternative providers are "purely virtual" (they own no infrastructure and only rent their access) while others build the local infrastructure (local governments installing fiber optic or associations mounting antennas on buildings for wireless internet) and they connect their local infra to the main networks directly at Internet Exchange Points (which are building where ISPs exchange Internet traffic between their networks).
We definitely think that we'll see more and more of these alternative ISPs emerge and that an increasing number of users will choose them over traditional Telco Companies. See also initiatives such as SpaceX Starlink recently.
The rise of "closed networks"
Another very interesting trend to follow are "closed networks". By closed networks we mean networks which are not connected to the internet. If like us you're in your thirties / forties (;-) Nico), you've probably experienced closed networks when you were younger through "LAN parties".
But you can do much more than playing games. This article on Wired describes the closed network that Cubans built because they were frustrated with the connexion provided by the government. The "real internet" is barely usable on the Caribbean Island so people have built a local wireless network accessible to anyone, not connected to the internet, where they can use messaging apps or download content from the local servers (people who are flying back to Cuba are bringing with them hard drives full of content that they upload on the local physical servers so that everyone can benefit from it).
What makes closed networks more and more interesting is that the technology to run them is becoming mature and the applications that can run on them more sophisticated.
For instance in terms of infrastructure mesh networks are getting increasingly popular and easier to use. If the dominant model on the internet is the server/client one (when you send a Whatsapp message to your neighbour, the message will first be sent to Facebook's servers thousands of miles away and then it will be routed back to your neighbor), Mesh Networks have a more "peer-to-peer" approach. In such networks each person is a node that can transmit data. So when you send your message to your neighbour it'll travel directly through the fastest "local" path. And there's no central entity that can take the network down.
GoTenna is a good example. The startup sells a piece of hardware that you pair with your phone and once it's done you are part of their Mesh Network. You can send and receive messages from other members without having an internet connexion (if you have other members close enough to you, otherwise there's no magic you cannot reach anyone).
If the main use cases of Mesh Networks are messaging and location sharing, which are especially useful in the context of natural disasters and political upheavals, you can actually do much more than that.
Scuttlebutt is for example a social network that can run completely on "closed networks". Services such as Pirate Bay showed that it was possible to share big files in a P2P way, so it's possible to have the same model running on closed networks (and watch videos). We've also seen some B2B startups offering "closed network" products to businesses: the applications running on these closed networks have less chanced to be breached from the outside and can run faster.
We also believe this trend will spark a new wave of personal servers that people will keep at home (or in their pocket). It started a long time ago with people storing media files (music, photos and movies) on their home "NAS", but what if people started to store apps or their personal data? It would be first stored locally, and then sent to external services (think of a segment.com but for your personal data).
It's also worth noting that many of these closed networks, and the applications which run on them, can also work while connected to the internet. Think of your Google Docs that you can edit on your browser while offline and that will be updated online once you are connected, this model make sense for plenty of apps. Scuttlebut, the social network I spoke about above, can work 100% in "local mode", but you can also setup a web server so that people on the other end of the world can read your posts. This "hybrid" mode has a huge potential.
Why are we speaking about these two trends in our "Surveillance & Privacy" section?
Because these models are a great counter-balance to a "centralized" internet where the power might be too concentrated in the hands of a few big internet companies and ISPs. What is currently happening in the US (Net Neutrality is threatened and ISPs can already sell their customers' surfing data) can also happen in other parts or the world (several big telco companies are pushing for the same rules in Europe). People are increasingly aware of these problems and embrace these alternative models, whether as a complement or as standalone solutions.
What is also exciting is that the infrastructure needed and the software that run on these closed networks are only getting better. We're still very early but there's a lot of interesting stuff happening in crypto & blockchain tech that could be applied here. We expect a lot of interesting startups to emerge.

A history to remember: "Who says being queer is unAfrican?"
In "The frightful development of this vice amongst the Natives": Who says being queer is unAfrican?" Zackie Achmat traces the role of missionaries and the colonial state in the control and disciple of the African male body. He begins with a brief account of his own imprisonment at the age of 16 where he was first placed in a cell with a group of adult men including murderers and rapists. Expecting unimaginable acts of violence against him, the experience changed his own perception of prison gangs.
I could hardly understand the language they spoke. Two or three words were derived from Afrikaans, but the rest was from a mixture of African languages I could not identify at the time. Cups instructed one of the younger lads to call the other cells: "Ons wil met die Generaal tjaizana." ("We want to talk to the General.")
Within minutes all the toilet bowls in the Remand Section were flushed and all the water was removed from the one in our cell. In this way, the sound was carried through the entire sewage system of the block. This system allowed prisoners to communicate with each other illegally, with a diminished threat of punishment and discovery by the warders. When we arrived the 28s had to report to their General — they had to account for the loot gained from the newly arrived prisoners. MaPinda and Cups took turns talking into the "phone." Basil, known in the cell as "die Moffie,"4 spoke to me in a grave tone: "Hulle discuss nou vir jou. MaPinda en Cups wil altwee vir jou he en nou vra hulle virrie Generaal wat hulle moet maak." ("They are talking about you now. Both MaPinda and Cups want you, and they are asking for the General's guidance.") I had not had sex since my detention and felt deprived, but Mapinda was not my idea of a sex partner. Basil interrupted these thoughts with the verdict: "Die Generaal se die rules moet apply. Cups is jonger en is nie die baas nie, maar hy is MaPinda se luitenant. Mapinda het nourie dag 'n wyfie gekry wat Cups wil gehad het en nou is dit Cups se kans/' ("The General says the rules must apply. Cups is younger and is not the cell boss. He is MaPinda's lieutenant. And, the other day MaPinda took a young wife (boy) Cups wanted so now it is Cups' turn.")
The post begins with a review of the film "Apostles of Civilised Vice": 'Immoral Practices'and 'Unnatural Vice' in South African Prisons and Compounds, 1890-1920 Zackie Achmat (1992)
For, to one native on whose heart the good seed has fallen, who returns to the kraal in native garb and with the glowing message of an apostle in his heart, there are ten thousand who by their speech and countenance are apostles of civilised vice, who through their bodies spread the diseases of the white man over the face of wild Africa.(1) "Ethelreda Lewis (1934).
