Getting Up: The TEMPT ONE Story
Legendary LA street artist TEMPT ONE, paralyzed by ALS, gets his voice (and art) back through free open-source technology.
Getting Up: The TEMPT ONE Story
Legendary LA street artist TEMPT ONE, paralyzed by ALS, gets his voice (and art) back through free open-source technology.
Our purpose is to inspire people to see that when a singular individual teams up with a like-minded community, the once impossible becomes possible.
After being diagnosed with ALS and rendered almost completely paralyzed, legendary L.A. street artist Tony "Tempt One" Quan gets his voice back through free open-source technology that reads the movement of his eyes and enables him to create art and write once again.
Our intention was not to make a film; it was to help a paralyzed man draw again. Then one day, through some prompting of friends, the process and journey began to be documented. 4 years later, and after countless awards, press and buzz, a film was created that has begun shifting people's perspective on what they, as individuals, could change in this world. This film is about many things, but above all, the film is about hope and the power of human perseverance.
People are definitely talking… Here's what they're saying:
50 Best Inventions of 2010 - TIME MAGAZINE
2012 Audience Award - SLAMDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
"Getting Up is about…inspired hope and perseverance… and highlights the power of open collaboration." – FAST COMPANY
"A moving...uplifting example of the power of the collective creative spirit." – THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Inspiring. Entertaining. Hopeful and heartwarming... a film that will make you smile and think positively about the future of one bedridden artist and of all mankind." – INDIWIRE.COM
"Words grossly under-serve me in describing GETTING UP, a film about lives driven by images and creativity... It made me weep... The inspiration, compassion and generosity demonstrated in this film will make an impression on even those with the most cynical view of humanity." – SHEPARD FAIREY
The most common comment and request made by viewers after seeing the film is, "This film NEEDS to be seen by people." While a version of the film is complete, there are a few things that we need to do before a widespread release:
Additional footage: Breakthroughs have been made! We have some new developments in the technology of the Eyewriter that we must share with the world (Code name: BrainWriter). Without this, the story would not be complete. This will entail additional shoot days at the hospital with TEMPT and a several follow-up interviews.
Post-production: We have post-production costs with the current version (color correction, sound) and with the additional footage, we will have editing, music, sound and additional work to integrate the movie. In addition, we'll need to add your names to the end roll!
Legal: In order for the film to have a wide release there are some legal issues that have arisen. We have some legal fees regarding "Fair Use Law" and logos that must be removed.
Graphic Design: Packaging, collectables, web elements and such must be created before release.
Distribution: In the spirit of our purpose (To inspire people to see that when a singular individual teams up with a like-minded community, the once impossible becomes possible.), we're going to take the film on tour and build events around the movie. We've found that the traditional distribution model doesn't really work for us and we feel that we can reach more people who need to see this movie by promoting it via tour. We're kicking off in Los Angeles in late summer and the more funds we have, the better we are able to support these events.
Our minimum ask is $55,000, but that is really just the beginning. Here are our longer-term goals:
$55,000: Film is complete. This includes a new ending and all post-production.
$75,000: Once the film is complete, we'll ready it for distribution. The additional funds will allow of better design, DVD production and the ability to get the word out a little more easily.
$125,000: We've lined up Money Mark, Shepard Fairey and other musical guests as well as a crew of graffiti artists to support the cause and we are planning to kick off a U.S. tour. We're shooting for early August and are incurring start-up costs. Plus, there is PR, legal and a host of other expenses that go along with an event like this.
$250,000: We can support local events with additional funds, making the film more accessible.
As my husband Mick poses in his TED talk: "If not now, when? If not me, who?"

Control JAX-RS Content Negotiation with Filters
Comments Off January 18th, 2010
JAX-RS supports very sophisticated content negotiation, built around the HTTP accept header and the @consumes and @produces annotations. Unfortunately some (potential) RESTful clients are not so sophisticated. Try your webbrowser for instance. It is not always easy or even possible to set the HTTP accept header to the desired value. In this post I'll present a simple Filter (javax.servlet.Filter) that dynamically adds HTTP accept headers to your requests, based on a predefined URI pattern. It has been tested with the Jersey implementation of JAX-RS. Read more…
Put JAX-RS to work with Adobe Flex
1 Comment » January 13th, 2010
In my previous post I've shown how to build a simple set of RESTful services with JAX-RS, and how to access those services from a XForms client. That example also showed the RESTful principle of HATEOAS. In this post I'll show how to build a Adobe Flex 3 client to those services. Read more…
HATEOAS by Example
3 Comments » January 7th, 2010
Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State (HATEOAS) is a very useful concept in the RESTful architectural style. The best way to show the benefits of HATEOAS is by giving an example. In this post I'll be using the Jersey JAX-RS framework to build three RESTFul services. By mixing XForms into the equation, these services form a complete (yet tiny) web application. The example can be deployed on GlassFish. Read more…
XForms backed with JAX-RS RESTful services
Comments Off December 31st, 2009
In an earlier post I presented a simple example of a login form implemented with XForms. In this example, XML data submitted by the form is parsed by a Java Servlet into a DOM tree, data is extracted using XPath and finally the servlet directly prints a XML result to its response stream. For large scale development, this is not the most efficient and safe way to implement this functionality.
JAX-RS allows us to efficiently build RESTful services, which are a perfect match to XForms. In this post I'll present a JAX-RS service to replace the servlet from the login form example. Read more…
JAX-RS: At ease with REST
Comments Off December 29th, 2009
In this post I will create a RESTful service using the JSR 311 JAX-RS implementation called Jersey on the GlassFish application server. This service will closely match the capabilities of the typical hello world demo. The focus of this post is to show how to develop a RESTful service with JAX-RS and Maven and how to deploy it on a J2EE application server like GlassFish. Read more…
Dynamic navigation with XForms
2 Comments » December 29th, 2009
XForms are a great way for a Java web developer to avoid the use of the JSF framework. Instead of authoring world-wide open standard (X)HTML pages, JSF lets you code JSP pages with JSF tags. JSF forces you from a truly open standard into a less open Java only standard. This alone makes me want to avoid JSF.
XForms is a programming language independent W3C open standard. In this post I will not try to show all the benefits of using XForms. I'll assume that you've already decided that you want to use XForms with Java. XForms is powerful enough to provide most if not all of the presentation logic that your web site requires. In this post I will explain how dynamic navigation can be achieved fully in XForms, thereby stripping the server side Java code of all presentation logic. Dynamic navigation is a mechanism found in the JSF framework. Put very simply, an agent (browser) posts data collected on a page to a server and the outcome of processing this data determines the next page. Read more…
Take control with WS-BPEL
1 Comment » December 11th, 2009
I suspect Web Service Business Process Execution Language is known to most people for the graphical designer tooling that vendors bundle with their web services suite products. My first thought when I saw this colorful click and drag tooling being demonstrated was: it looks nice, but why would someone want to code if-then-else constructs with a mouse? Is this yet another effort to bring programming to the non-programmers?
After a bit of reading up I started to recognize WS-BPEL's true value. It is not the graphical designer tooling. In my opinion, there is simply too much XML technology that cannot be hidden from the user, to make the tooling actually usable to non-programmers. While the designer tooling is still useful, I think the true value lies in the capabilities of the WS-BPEL engine. In this post I will present a realistic working example of WS-BPEL in an ESB environment, I will explain in detail how correlation works and I will give you tons of other tips along the way.

Consuming Web Services from EJB 3 using JAX-WS
1 Comment » November 30th, 2009
In this post I will show how to consume a Web Service from an EJB 3 stateless session bean, with very little coding involved by leveraging the JAX-WS specification and tooling. I will add this ability to the CRM EJB that I presented in an earlier post: http://www.zienit.nl/blog/2009/11/enterprise-java/web-services-made-easy-with-ejb-jpa-and-jax-ws. I will also explain how to bundle WSDL and XML Schema files with an EAR deployment file using a catalog, how to customize the JAX-WS generated code and how to design a single Maven build process for deployment to multiple environments (development, staging and production). Read more…
Exploring Java Business Integration with Apache ServiceMix
1 Comment » November 6th, 2009
Apache ServiceMix is an Enterprise Service Bus that is compliant to the Java Business Integration specification (JBI). In a nutshell, the JBI specification defines a robust and managed environment which supports components called Binding Components (BC's) and Service Engines (SE's), that exchange XML messages (with optional binary attachments) with each other. The goal of a Binding Component is to convert messages to and from a specific protocol (like SOAP over HTTP) to allow communication with the outside world. The goal of a Service Engine is to provide business logic (like message transformation, message routing, or any other type of business logic). Read more…
Web services made easy with EJB, JPA and JAX-WS
Comments Off November 4th, 2009
In this post I will share some code and findings that came out of an experiment with EJB 3.0, JPA (included in EJB 3.0) and JAX-WS (Java API for XML-Based Web Services) 2.0. My goal was to create a useful layer of web services on top of a database with as little Java code as possible. I wasn't sure if the three technologies could be mixed together in a thin layer without running into serious trouble, so I decided to create an example application and test it on three popular open source Java Application Servers: Geronimo (2.1.4), Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server (2.1) and JBoss (5.1.0 GA). I'm running these Application Servers on Sun JDK 6. Read more…

I've always wanted to go biking and or hiking, but the thought of carrying those heavy bikes and gears make me think not to. In Holland where my family used to live, I often see bikers and outdoor adventure lovers, even day trippers bring their bikes with them and putting them on top of their cars or trucks using a thule bike rack. That way, it would be easier for them to carry back their things. I wonder if they have those here too, so that if my hubby and I decide to go see and check the places here, it would be easier for us. I just hope that one of these days; I can get to do these things.
Biking Anyone?

UIC's PhD program in the Learning Sciences is hosting an Open House for all interested students, faculty and advisors! Please come learn more about our cutting edge, interdisciplinary program – ideal for anyone with a Master's degree, or comparable professional experience in any discipline, who wants to pursue a doctorate focused on the study of learning!
WHEN: Wednesday, January 25th, 4:30 – 6:00
WHERE: Learning Sciences Research Institute
1240 W. Harrison St., Chicago IL 60607
University of Illinois at Chicago
The Learning Sciences PhD program is housed within UIC's Learning Sciences Research Institute, which is dedicated to supporting multidisciplinary research on learning, and the design and evaluation of learning environments. The program is ideal for students who have earned a Master's degree in any discipline, and/or have significant professional experience, and have an intense interest in studying how people learn in that discipline.
Faculty and doctoral students in LSRI conduct research on learning in many diverse contexts, including (but not limited to) schools, workplaces, museums, and community settings, often in combination with design work and/or evaluation studies. The program offers a space for scholars and researchers from diverse areas, including the natural sciences, social and behavioral sciences, humanities, engineering, health sciences and computer science, to collaborate on projects that aim to investigate and improve learning.
Graduates are trained to use a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives of the learning sciences, including cognitive psychology and sociocultural theory, design-based research, and discipline-specific theoretical frameworks. Program faculty represent leading learning scientists working from within disciplinary departments across campus, such as chemistry, computer science, mathematics, psychology, and education.
UIC has a long history of working relationships with many formal and informal educational institutions in and around Chicago, including Chicago Public Schools and numerous museums and cultural institutions. Many LSRI research projects place doctoral students "in the field" from their first year to research how people learn in authentic contexts, and to work collaboratively with community stakeholders to design innovative learning environments. Moreover, Chicago is a world-class city that is an exciting place to live and offers an endless range of activities to enrich graduate student life.
Each fall, we typically welcome five to seven doctoral students into the program. All full-time students are guaranteed five years of graduate student support that include full‐tuition scholarships, research assistantships, teaching assistantships, and competitive fellowships. Doctoral students also receive support to attend professional conferences annually as part of their program of study. With our unique interdisciplinary structure and our commitment to discipline-based research, doctoral students also have the opportunity to seek a master's degree in another discipline as they advance toward the Ph.D. in Learning Sciences.
Applications are accepted online through the UIC Graduate College at https://admissions.uic.edu/graduate-professional/apply. Applications require a graduate student application form and fee, all university transcripts, graduate record exam (GRE) scores, personal statement, and three letters of recommendation. International applicants must also submit scores from the TOEFL. Additional information about our program and graduate studies can be found online at http://www.lsri.uic.edu/prospective-students.

A "classic" seems easy enough to identify. Often it's old (and, even more often, it's really, really old), written by a famous person who is always referred to by his or her surname only, and can be found on a high school required reading list (much to the chagrin of most high school students). And there is something in their titles that demands respect and the classification as a classic, such as Oedipus Rex, Paradise Lost, The Iliad, and Crime and Punishment. Simply put: you know a classic when you see one. (A cop-out, I know.)
But when you actually try to break down the criteria for a classic, you start to become less and less sure of yourself. I used to define a classic by when it was written. After all, the term "classic" has an old or antique feel to it. I thought that anything before the end of World War II could be considered a classic, but that would then discount Catch-22 (1961) and In Cold Blood (1966), two of my favorite books that are clearly classics. And even Tim O' Brien's The Things They Carried (1990) is a contemporary classic. So going by when a book was written doesn't really work.
So what makes a book a classic? Let's use Merriam Webster Online's definition of a classic to figure it out. "Classic (noun): a work of enduring excellence." Using that definition, any book that has "stood the test of time" could be considered a classic. And, in my opinion, this includes contemporary works that transcend popular fiction and are of a more literary nature and have the potential to survive through the ages, books that seem to pay homage to the style of recognized classics.
And, as mentioned in About That's Classic!, classics are books that have interesting characters and universal themes; use powerful language, clear descriptions, and precise grammar; and demonstrate a genuine love of storytelling. To use another cop-out, you know a classic when you read one. The story hits you in such a way that you think about it long after you've put the book down, and you even find yourself discussing it with or mentioning it to people you encounter throughout the day. Classics stick with you in a way that only great literature can.
So, really, what makes a classic "classic"? Stories that you can't get out of your head. Stories that make you think. Stories that challenge your beliefs and your morals and your prejudices in ways that you never thought possible. Stories that can, and often do, change you. Is it any wonder, then, why so many people steer clear of classics? But these are precisely the same reasons that people should flock to these books, to better their minds. These are precisely the reasons that I encourage you to go to a bookstore or your local library and pick up the classic you never thought you'd read or you never thought you'd give another chance. And as difficult as they can be to identify off-hand, I have faith that you'll find a great one without looking too hard. (Just remember that classics are in both the fiction and nonfiction sections of any place books are!)

Letters to the Editor
Letter to the editor | Vulnerable overlooked
How can we not make children the most important thing in our lives, in our town, in our culture, in our economy?
Whether we know and love a child or can just think through it logically, child care should always come out near the top of our priorities.
However, considering the recent decision to turn over the complete management of its two child care facilities, Penn State has decided that the children of its employees and their supporting community members are just not so important anymore.
The truth about the benefits package that employees will now be offered is that it creates an exorbitant decrease of compensation compared with what they have been offered through Penn State and, despairingly, it is the norm in the field of early care and education.
It is not only the early childhood professionals at Penn State's child care centers who do such highly important work that they deserve compensation that affords them a life void of struggling for health services and higher education, but it is every single person who cares for our most precious resource.
I wish that not only Penn State could realize this, but every entity that has the ability to give support to children in their first five years of life rather than looking first to the most vulnerable when it comes to searching for ways to "use resources more efficiently," as College of Health and Human Services Dean Ann Crouter so frankly put it during a meeting with parents.

Can LeBron James save Cleveland?
Joan of Arc is one of the few teenagers who will ever enjoy a following as big as that of 18-year-old basketball phenomenon, LeBron James.
James is from Akron, Ohio, and he has dominated high school hoops for the last four years. With the size and strength of a forward and the moves and skills of a point guard, James surprised no one when he decided to forgo college and turn professional.
Nor was anyone shocked when James was snatched up as the first pick in the first round of last week's NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team desperately needs a potential superstar like James – the Cavs haven't made the playoffs since 1997-98.
And with their last season record of 17 wins and 65 losses, they are having some trouble selling tickets, prompting James to tease that his high school games had better attendance than many Cavaliers games.
But can James save Cleveland as Joan saved France? "I'm not going to guarantee a championship," he commented. "But we will get better every day. We will be a better team than we were last year."
For their part, the fans in Cleveland know that it can't get much worse.
Spurred to victory
Can anybody beat the San Antonio Spurs? Even with David Robinson's retirement (the classy, top-of-my-game retirement that Michael Jordan tried to pull off the first time), the Spurs line-up is strong. If they acquire Jason Kidd from the New Jersey Nets, next year might bring another victory for the team.
Let's just hope that no other Texans get any ideas about a dynasty.

Obesity prevention is a national priority, and for good reason: One in three children in the United States is overweight or obese. Obese children and teenagers are more likely to become obese adults. Obesity increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. Being overweight in childhood is associated with low self-esteem, depression, stigma, teasing and bullying, and discrimination.
Our food environment, which is rife with cheap, unhealthy foods and beverages is a big part of the problem. Yet, as we see in the video below, food and beverage marketers continue to target children with their products, putting their health at risk in the process. Marketers reach out to kids online and in a variety of community settings, including schools and restaurants.
View the video below and check out the rest of our resources section to learn more about how marketers reach youth.

she does have a very querky sense of humour and she sent us some images to play with and believe me they did may me laugh, anyway here what she says about herself,
I love creating with pretty papers, ribbons and sparkle. I am also the artist and owner of my own rubber stamp and digi shop: Fresh Brewed Designs. Fresh Brewed designs is an online shop that opened in November 2010 selling a wide variety of rubber and digital stamps as well as specializes in many coffee themed images. It started with a dream and with the prodding of a very supportive husband, family and friends, with a lot of help and a lot of headaches:) and a lot of lessons and prayers turned into something bigger.
Fresh Brewed Designs has become a place to share, create, laugh and build lasting friendships.
Fresh Brewed Designs... where creativity is brewed fresh daily.
And she has offered you 3 digi's of your own choice as a prize, I do hope that you will visit her shop and see for yourself what fun images they are.
And here is my card for this Challenge

My family highly recommends Amie for all your mortgage needs.
We went through a very difficult financial time and when I thought there was nothing left to do but go bankrupt someone put me in touch with Amie. She was truly an angel for our family. She helped us in a way I didn't think was even possible. Amie went way above and beyond for our family. Not only did she help get our financial business taken care of but she did so much more.
Amie worked quickly and diligently to get everything taken care of as quickly as possible! Which allowed us to have one of the best Christmases we have had in awhile.
Amie took the time to help me learn how to budget and manage our money in a much better way. She was quick in responding to any of my questions and concerns that I had during the entire process. I hadn't slept in months. Amie has a presence about her that allowed me the comfort to be able to sleep at night and know that we were truly in good hands with her. Amie puts her customers first… but not once did I ever feel like i was just a customer or pay cheque with Amie. She made me feel like a friend, someone who she genuinely cared enough to help. Amie has a heart of gold and will bend over backwards to do whatever is humanly possible to make the mortgage process simple.
She doesn't just sign off and move on when the job is done either.
Amie has kept in touch with my family since re-mortgaging, just to see how we are doing and to say hi. She has done so much more than just refinancing for my family. And I can't thank her enough for everything she did and continues to do for us. Amie was our angel , silver lining , and light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
An amazing person to work with. I have nothing but praise for her. You can't go wrong working with Amie.
Much love and thanks Amie for everything!!

Chilly Gonzales, Canadian pianist and entertainer, is back with his highly anticipated followup to Solo Piano II: Chambers, an album for piano and string quartet.
This is the pianist's modern take on classical chamber music, with Hamburg's Kaiser Quartett at his side.
Chilly Gonzales has always maintained he's a man of his time, and he has made music with some of the great practitioners of electronic and rap music, such as Drake, Daft Punk and Boys Noize.
"I've made a point to apply the musical and philosophical approach of these styles to my piano projects," he told CBC Music, "and now hopefully to my nascent chamber phase."
Thus, a collection of 12 pieces, each with a dedication indicating the inspiration behind it, ranging from J.S. Bach, Gabriel Fauré and Reinhold Glière on the classical side, to Rick Ross, Daft Punk and Juicy J.
Follow along below as he gives a track-by-track guide.
"Prelude to a Feud"
Dedicated to Bach and Daft Punk
"In Bach's time, a prelude would introduce a 'fugue,' but this introduces a 'feud' — a musical grudge match between artist and entertainer. The piano cascades are a live acoustic take on synthesized arpeggios, such as one might hear from my robot friends. Except this arpeggiator is not a button on a keyboard but a struggling human. Hands down (pun intended) the most technically difficult part of the album to deliver."
"Advantage Points"
Dedicated to John McEnroe
"The 'points' are staccato — clipped, insistent. I attempted musical pointillism with Wimbledon '80 as my backdrop. Try to imagine the waltzing B-section as the endorphins [are] kicking in after a marathon — the transcendence of physical technique (using a racquet or a piano) into pure bliss. This could just as easily have been dedicated to Bobby Fischer, Glenn Gould or Michael Jackson's moonwalk. It all depends on your vantage point."
"Sweet Burden"
Dedicated to Gabriel Fauré
"My Solo Piano song (and label) 'Gentle Threat' is one of many contradictory titles in my repertoire. 'Sweet Burden' is the album's first bona fide tear-jerker. A long, ambiguous melody inspired by French composer Gabriel Fauré. The viola solo is slowly joined by the cello, while the violins chime in with a single-note pattern. We all have our burdens to bear, and maybe only music can sweeten them."
"Green's Leaves"
Dedicated to King Henry VIII
"A party in the town square, everyone drank too much and there is no more mead. Luckily there are some green leaves to keep the party going. This jaunty square dance shares some musical DNA with one of the greatest songs of all time, 'Greensleeves,' possibly written by King Henry VIII ... but probably not."
"Freudian Slippers"
Dedicated to the subconscious
"Part 1 of the album closes with this two-part epic. How does one attempt to convey the unknown workings of the brain? With surrealist techniques like the violin 'doppelgängers'? With stumbling, mumbling rhythms? With chorale-like interruptions that try to impose order? It's all in vain, hope slips away. Part 2: rap on it, you'll see, it works."
Dedicated to the piano
"The string quartet takes a smoke break. I couldn't get this tune out of my head — I needed a moment alone, and therefore so does the listener."
Dedicated to Reinhold Glière
"Reinhold Glière was the Ukrainian composer with the German first name and the French last name. He is the missing link between the accessibility of Tchaikovsky and the spiky modernism of Prokofiev. This piece appeared in a simplified version as a Re-Introduction Etude; this fleshed-out version adds a controlled dose of Hollywood sentimentality and a nod to Stevie Wonder-style analog portamento (played on a violin by sliding from one note to the other)."
"Sample This"
Dedicated to Rick Ross
"There are many musicians out there in the world today. Some of them frauds, others merely mediocre, and a scant few worthy of listening. Can you tell the difference?"
"Cello Gonzales"
Dedicated to Felix Mendelssohn
"A pop song without words for the instrument that is most like the human voice. The cello stretches, struggles and breaks like our favourite singers — perfectly imperfect. This was the first piece I wrote for this album — I was still learning how to approach these new instruments with weird strings on them."
Dedicated to Juicy J
"From the theatre piece The Shadow, this piece is inspired by chord progressions from the rapper Juicy J's repertoire. There is something asymmetric and Escher-like about the chords, like watching colours from different angles. That sounds pretentious but try imagining it! This climactic piece features French horn and flute in addition to the quartet, so you know we're getting close to the end."
"Myth Me"
Dedicated to Jason Beck
"'Vanity is vanishing.' But is it? Finally, some words, traditional musical communication through the voice. I am a composer who sings, and this is my pre-tirement anthem."

When we think of others most of us approach and deal with them subconsciously on the same level as we are, meaning that we typically view others as living life like we do, with the same opportunities and choices. So when issues like poverty are discussed, you can poll several hundred people about what they think about the issue and most will say that it's an issue that has always existed and will always exist. Others will say that people suffer in poverty because of the choices they make. I believe both views are oversimplify the issue and do not deal with poverty's root causes.
Kristina Scott, the Executive Director of the Alabama Poverty Project, spends most of her waking hours thinking about poverty and how we can change the focus from blaming those for the choices they make to instead educating the general population on what with the deep challenges facing low-income communities. APP partners with communities of faith, higher education institutions and civic groups to tackle the issues surrounding poverty in Alabama.
Most will probably recognize the Alabama Poverty Project through its mobilization campaign, Alabama Possible. Alabama Possible was founded by a group of concerned citizens in 1993. Founders included Alabama Historian Wayne Flynt and longtime Alabama Baptist Convention President Earl Potts. They along with other concerned citizens wanted to provide leadership in poverty education with the goal of eliminating poverty.
Kristina joined the organization in late 2008 and reinvented how the organization inspires Alabamians to use their power to change their communities. "Our Alabama Possible campaign was born out of the notion that when something is possible, we have the power to turn an idea into reality," she said.
Alabama is the seventh poorest state in the nation. Its also the hungriest state and has the second largest gap between rich and poor. Although we have had wonderful gains in economic development in the past few years, those gains have not created sustainable growth in economic security for the state's poorest citizens.
Kristina links that disparity to Alabama's history of low educational attainment. "For many years, our economic growth was based on low skill, low wage jobs in agriculture, the garment industry, mining and timber." As a result, the importance of education, especially post-secondary education, was not emphasized in the state's culture. "Today, only 32 percent of working age adults in Alabama have a college degrees, compared to 38 percent nationally."
Alabama's gap in educational attainment impacts its ability to compete for high skill, high wage jobs in health care, automobile manufacturing and aerospace. "By 2018, two-third of jobs will require some form of post-secondary education, whether it be a technical degree from a community college or a bachelors degree from a 4-year school," Kristina said.
That's why Kristina believes that improving education is a key component in eradicating poverty. As the Vice Chair of the newly formed State Commission to Reduce Poverty, she will work to make policy recommendations to the Legislative and Executive branches. Those recommendations will focus on legislation and policy changes to address the structural causes of poverty.
As for the argument about people who live in poverty needing to make better choices, is an easy way to sweep the issue under the carpet, I believe. Kristina further dispels the argument by stating that the facts prove otherwise. "Alabama has been one of the nation's poorest states for more than 150 years, so people living in poverty are not there simply because of the choices they made." Kristina goes on to say that Alabama's poverty is multi-generational, and thus is often the product of systems that are in place and which are bigger than any one individual can overcome.
Eliminating poverty is not going to happen with one or two organizations. The business community also needs to play a role. "Poverty is bad for business. It shows that we are not maximizing our economic potential in the State. I would like to see the business community strengthen investments in programs to create high-skilled jobs and job training, as well as work to make sure our K-12 students receive a quality education," Kristina said.
There are some good programs in Alabama that are addressing certain issues that you see in communities with extreme poverty, like the Jones Valley Urban Farm in Birmingham, Ala., that teaches people in low- income communities how to grow their own food and the value of nutrition. Another example is Project Horseshoe Farm in Hale County, Greensboro, Ala., that works with that Black Belt Community by offering skills training in leadership and development as well as helping to increase the quality of education for K-12 public school students. Kristina says it is projects like those that are doing the things we need to do on a bigger scale across the state.
I asked her what she thought about Republican Governor Robert Bentley's recent appointment of his former opponent, Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee Ron Sparks, to head the newly formed Alabama Rural Development Office. The office was created by Executive Order and was specifically established to address issues of health care, education and economic development in some of Alabama's poorest areas, the Black Belt being one of those. Kristina stated, "This appointment shows that Governor Bentley considers rural areas important and that he is focusing efforts at the State level to develop those communities while improving their economic outlook and educational outcomes."
Combined with efforts like the Poverty Commission and the new government efficiency commission, the Rural Development Office presents a real opportunity for Alabama to establish a multi-faceted solution to eliminate poverty. Kristina said, "I hope that we can bring Alabamians together around the simple notion that we have the power to create a more prosperous and sustainable economy for all."

In the previous episode, you saw how to use amqplib directly to send and receive messages. While this library has proven useful, it also requires a rather low level understanding of how RabbitMQ works through channels.
For most application development, you don't need to worry about this low level configuration and protocol work. What you want, instead, is a library that can take most of this work out of your hands and let you focus on the business side of sending and receiving messages.
In this episode, then, you'll get an introduction to a RabbitMQ library for NodeJS called "wascally". This library provides a higher level of abstraction on top of amqplib, giving you both the power and flexibility of this library as well as a needed level of abstraction that prevents you from having to know all the details of the RabbitMQ protocol.
By the end of the episode, you'll understand how to get RabbitMQ working with wascally to send and receive messages – well on your way to having a proper level of abstraction for your application code.

Eh di kung sino ang unang nagkagusto.
In the old-fashioned world, straights would struggle to force-fit LGBT relationships into the neat and tidy dichotomies of Male, the hunter, and Female, the hunted. A lot of them fail to realize that the norms of dating have changed since the 60's.
A question like this would probably come from the Titas and Titos of Manila. They don't even realize that perhaps, their own sons and daughters, nephews and nieces have not been following those norms either.
But let me reply to this at a personal level.
I've always been the pursuer rather than the pursuee (?). I am predator not by choice but by circumstance.
In the gay world I grew up in, the beautiful ones, the gods of our age, were almost always the one being pursued. If you were such a beauty, all you had to do was show up in the dance club or the bar and the lesser mortals would be gravitating towards you.
I wanted to be one of them. I craved for the attention they got. But alas, my physical circumstances were not at that level. I have a buddy who was one: handsome, fair, tall. We'd go to the clubs then and he'd get the stares and even the flirty chitchat. I realized then that my role was 'manliligaw' more than 'nililigawan'.
With that acceptance, I grew more confident and went after people I liked. It has worked for me immensely. I like that I have more 'control'. I also didn't take the situation as an excuse not to work on being a bit more attractive. On the contrary, I really worked on maximizing whatever potential I had. Even as the 'hunter', I had to make sure that the 'hunted' would willingly fall.
Looking back, it all seems so juvenile and immature. But those things got me started on my path towards physical fitness.
So yeah, ako ang nanliligaw. Pero kasi ako yung may gusto at ayokong maghintay lang.

Let's rip off the Band-Aid and get to the bad news for fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
If you were expecting Kylie Jenner's new reality show to be anything like the hit E! series that has aired for nearly decade-look elsewhere.
The series premiered on Sunday night and for the most part, offered exactly what you would expect from a television show starring Kylie. Because she was home-schooled, 19 year-old makeup mogul never got a chance to experience the pinnacle of teenage-hood: prom. Not partaking in that experience was apparently really hard for her-she unfollowed everyone she knew because she couldn't bear to see their memories scattered across her timeline. Read more…

Other platforms
The portal "Sextant Indian Ocean" aims to collect and diffuse multi-thematic geographic data that have a link with maritime activities in the french territories in the Indian Ocean. Numerous scientific, institutional, associative, manager partners have adopted the portal Sextant Indian Ocean that is complementary with other infrastructures of geogaphic data that contribute to diffuse, valorise and share cartographic data.
The regional portal "Indian Ocean" is based on the same architecture and numeric resources as those used for the national portal sextant. The regional portal has the same functionalities and features as its national "grand brother".
The interoperability is at the heart of sharing knowledge
Sextant is a platform entirely interoperable in adopting the ISO normes and the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standards to get access to data. This platform is also able to share data and exchange information with:
most of the structures and State services (DEAL, DIRM, DAM, CEREMA, Maritime préfectures, ...),
numerous scientific partners (IRD, AAMP, MNHN, Conservatoire du littoral, Universities, CNRS,...),
big data producers like IGN, the SHOM and the BRGM.
Sextant, an open door entry for INSPIRE
More than sharing and mutualising data between different catalogues Sextant, the data producer may have the opportunity to see its metadata to be indexed through the european portal INSPIRE in choosing to put the metadata "public" and in opening it through the National Geocatalogue.
If you wish to see your portal displayed on these web pages, please contact us...

Alisa Fleming ~ That's me! I've been bursting at the seams to share this news. In addition to my work here, I will now be the Senior Editor for Allergic Living magazine!!
Allergic Living has been a well-respected magazine in Canada for many years, and the launch of their U.S. edition last year exceeded expectations. I started as a columnist with them in 2011 when they began their U.S. distribution (you can see two delicious and unique treat recipes from my kitchen in each issue), and jumped at the opportunity to take on a larger role. A few quick reasons why I'm so proud to be a part of this magazine:
Expert Columnists: Dr. Scott Sicherer (Mount Sinai School of Medicine), Dr. Hemant Sharma (Children's National Medical Center) and Dr. Clifford Bassett (Allergy & Asthma Care of New York), as well as dietitian and celiac expert Shelley Case are regulars that share expertise and new research in each issue. For the Canadian edition, Dr. Susan Waserman (McMaster University, Hamilton) and Dr. Wade Watson (IWK Health Centre, Halifax) are also contributors.
Delicious Food: This magazine is about so much more than food, but it's hard to ignore the amazing recipes that acclaimed chef Simon Clarke contributes to each issue.
Beautiful Artistic Design: The Editor-in-Chief, Gwen Smith, and Art Director, Giselle Sabatini, are a powerhouse team of professionalism. I'm an extreme magazine connoisseur (dare I say, addict?), and was excited to see a niche magazine like this rival the quality of magazines such as Health, Shape, and other mainstream publications.
The Wide-Reaching Topics: I like to stretch my journalistic wings beyond dairy-free, and Allergic Living offers an amazing platform for this. We cover all food allergies, seasonal / environmental allergies, asthma, celiac disease / gluten intolerance, and more! Everything from food to health to daily life gets face time.
I now hope to deliver amazing content to you both online and offline over the years to come!

District Court Judge Garry Neilson is pouring liquid soap on the slippery slope that many pro-family advocates have warned about for decades. Indeed, the Sydney, Australia judge has dared to go where perhaps no judge has gone before, comparing incest and pedophilia to homosexuality.
Yes, this important public figure had the audacity to suggest that some may no longer see sexual contact between adults and children as "unnatural" or "taboo," according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald. He went on to remind that gay sex was not acceptable—and actually criminal—in the 1950s and 1960s but many tolerate it today.
Neilson made the remarks against the backdrop of a 58-year-old man who was charged with raping his pre-pubescent sister decades ago. The man, known as MRM in the legal case, pled out to incest instead of rape.
"A jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now 'available', not having [a] sexual partner," Neilson said, noting that the "only reason" incest is still a criminal act is because of the high risk of genetic defects. But he has a solution for that, too: "ready access to abortion."

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth, a national organization devoted to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda, may have said it best: "The slippery slope of sexual perversion and sin continues to yield stunning departures from healthy, Judeo-Christian morality."
Although I am shocked, creationist Ken Ham isn't: "This news should not be a surprise to anyone! I've been saying for years that once you abandon the absolute authority of the Word of God, then ultimately anything goes—if you can get away with it."
The Bible clearly speaks against incest. Several verses in Leviticus cut right to the heart of the matter, forbidding the practice: "None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness" (Lev. 18:6). The Scripture doesn't say that if society changes its mores over the course of several thousand years to make incest acceptable, you can have sex with your sister, your mother, your father, your brother, your aunt or your uncle.
The Bible also speaks against abortion. Exodus 20:13 plainly says, "You shall not murder." Abortion is murder—and abortion so that you don't birth a deformed baby after you have sex with your sister, your mother, your father, your brother, your aunt or your uncle is adding sin upon sin. It's sickening.
The enemy is growing bolder in this hour. Activist judges are working hard to usurp the authority of God's Word when it comes to issues of morality. Nevertheless, we have authority as God's representatives on the earth. We are ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20). Indeed, "You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
I don't like talking about these issues any more than you do, "but all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light" (Eph. 5:12). We have to shine God's light—God's truth—on these issues or darkness will continue creeping into our courts, our schools, our marketplace and even our churches. Notice I say continue. It's getting darker out there.
Saints, don't let this darkness scare you. Rise up in the name of Jesus and push back the darkness. You have the authority in Christ to do it! It takes work. Laboring in prayer demands you sacrifice your time. But you are called for such a time as this! We need to stand as those who burn and shine for Jesus, like John the Baptist who refused to bow to the moral decay of his generation but spoke against it so the Holy Spirit could use the truth to prick their hearts and bring them to repentance.

'Gemmell is a master of plot, but his triumph is creating men and women so real that their trials are agony and their triumph is glorious' – Conn Iggulden
DAVID GEMMELL White Knight / Black Swan a stunning, long-lost and highly sought-after crime novel by the legendary David Gemmell returns to print after twenty-five years.
David Gemmell was the UK's No. 1 fantasy and historical novelist until his death in 2006. A regular Sunday Times bestseller, and international sensation, his legacy lives on through his novels, his influence on the genre, and through the David Gemmell Legend Awards.
White Knight/Black Swan was David Gemmell's crime thriller debut, first published under a pseudonym in 1993 and long out of print, and highly sought-after by readers. Re-editing and republished under his own name, it's a must read for fans of his heroic and powerful style.
An action-filled story set in working class London in the 1980's, Jardine is a bouncer and gang enforcer with a heart of gold. To protect a friend, he goes up against an Irishman demanding protection money – only to realise too late that they work for the same employer.

Our Mission

Superintendent's Message
To All,
The Mahoning County Board of Developmental Disabilities (MCBDD) is an incredible asset to the citizens of Mahoning County. MCBDD provides a multitude of services that help provide meaningful outcomes for individuals with Developmental Disabilities. MCBDD recently added Help Me Grow and Early Intervention Services to supplement school age, adult services, SSA and transportation services. It is our hope that providing Help Me Grow and Early Intervention Services will set a better life course for individuals that are involved with this program.
For over 40 years MCBDD and its partners have supported individuals and their families gain access to much needed services. Although our system has evolved over those years, our mission and vision has remained the same; to provide opportunities that support people living a life that is meaningful to them.
Continuing to strengthen relationships with other agencies and community stakeholders will be necessary to move our system forward in the future and allow us to continue to provide those opportunities.
Over the next several years MCBDD will undergo several changes that are mandated by the state and federal governments. During that time it will be more important than ever for our community to work together to support individuals eligible for services through MCBDD. A strong network is in place to meet these mandated changes, but working together is the only way we can promote positive outcomes for the people and families we support.
On behalf of the MCBDD Board members and the nearly 1,400 individuals and families that you help support, I would like to say thank you to the citizens of Mahoning County. I would also invite you to visit our website, www.mahoningdd.org to learn more about our agency and its partners.

Shop approval certification
Ingeteam received DNV GL's "Shop Approval in Renewable Energy" certification for its wind converter manufacturing facility in Northern Spain.
The certificate
The DNV GL Shop Approval service certifies that a workshop operates with approved production facilities, working procedures, methods and qualified staff. It is independent from component, type or project certification and is always workshop specific.
The facility
The facility is an important manufacturing centre for Ingeteam, where 200 employees deliver electrical conversion systems ranging from 660 kW to 10 MW, as well as the associated control equipment.
The concept
The certification concept for shop approval provides evidence to stakeholders that a manufacturer has demonstrated verifiable capability for the manufacturing process. It is relative to an approved scope of work to comply with a set of requirements identified as being critical for the manufacturing processes. With this scheme, DNV GL offers next level certification and standardization, going beyond modules and elements to include all technical aspects laid down in standards and recommended practices.
The Shop Approval is a comprehensive audit that helps Ingeteam and their customers to reduce and simplify the manufacturing audits or possibly exempt, and any of their present or future customers, from having to pass DNV GL plant inspections for a period of three years. This certificate will enable Ingeteam to reduce the time and costs for any future equipment to be manufactured at this plant. It represents a serious guarantee of manufacturing quality and delivery for the customers.
The Shop Approval standard is more than a typical product certification. It helps us and our customers to reduce and simplify the manufacturing audits.

Mr Millipede is to call on his US counterpart, Ms Condescending Rice, to release five men who are residents of the United Kingdom. Or at least they WOULD be residents of the United Kingdom if they were not currently residents of the United States' current version of Devil's Island at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.
The lovely Liberal Democrat Sarah Teather
, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Guantánamo Bay, responded saying:
"This decision should have been taken years ago. Abandoning British residents to indefinite imprisonment in obscene conditions was a gross dereliction of duty by the Government."
The US Government though still thinks that the men, including a mechanic, law student and a volunteer charity worker, are HIGHLY DANGEROUS.
"We don't want to be the world's jailers. At the same time, we also don't want to see very dangerous people allowed to walk the streets freely," said State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack.
"Unfortunately, there seems to be some legal difficulty with us just shooting them," he didn't add.

Unfinished Tales » Humans » Númenóreans
Silmariën "Shining Home"
born 521 SA in Armenelos, she was the daughter of Tar-Elendil, the 4th King of Númenor and was the mother of Valandil, the first Lord of Andúnië. Silmariën was the oldest child of Tar-Elendil. She had a younger sister named Isilmë, and a younger brother Meneldur. Meneldur succeeded their father as King in 740 SA and he himself was the father of Aldarion the Mariner (wife of Erendis and father of Ancalimë).
Silmariën married the nobleman Elatan of Andúnië and thus moved to that city. Andúnië was a port city on the western coast of Númenor. Their son Valandil ("Devoted to the Valar"), became the first Lord of Andúnië. Although not in direct line of royal succession, these Lords were important to the future of their royal family. The Lords of Andúnië were the leaders of the Elendili, or Elf-friends, the Faithful who still supported the Elves and Valar even after the Kings became corrupt. During the Downfall of Númenor more than 2500 years later, Elendil, the heir to the Lord of Andúnië line and therefore a descendant of Silmariën, fled to Middle-earth with his sons Isildur and Anarion and many of the remaining Faithful, where they founded the line of Kings of Gondor and Arnor. Elendil and his sons were the only royal descendants that survived, since Ar-Pharazôn died in the destruction, thus they became Kings of the Númenórean descendants, or Dúnedain.
Silmariën could be said to be the most significant person in Númenor's royal family for two reasons: because she was the founder of the Lords of Andúnië, therefore continuing the Númenórean royal bloodline in Middle-earth after the Downfall. Also, she inherited the sword Narsil and the Ring of Barahir from her father and these sacred heirlooms were handed down through her descendants for many generations and eventually reached Aragorn. She also owned the original Elendilmir, "Star of Elendil", a precious white jewel that she passed to the Lords of Andúnië and eventually to Elendil and used by him as a token of Dúnedain royalty instead of a crown.
