Jesse Arreguin: Berkeley Values. Real Results.
Over the last 8 years at City Hall, while others have tried to stand in the way of progress, Councilmember Jesse Arreguin has fought for real Berkeley values, and delivered results. In his two terms on the City Council, Jesse Arreguin has authored and passed over 300 pieces of legislation. He's done it by listening, by bringing people together, and building consensus. And he's made a real difference on the issues that matter to us. That's why he will be Berkeley's Kind of Mayor.
Jesse Arreguin Has Expanded Affordable Housing Throughout Berkeley.
- As Chair of the Housing Advisory Commission (HAC), Jesse secured millions of dollars in funding to build hundreds of new affordable housing units throughout Berkeley. Some of the projects built as a result of Jesse's leadership include the David Brower Center/Oxford Plaza, University Neighborhood Apartments, Helios Corner, Sacramento Senior Homes, and the Ashby Lofts.
- After State courts tossed out Berkeley's long-standing inclusionary housing policy, Jesse proposed an alternative: an Affordable Housing Mitigation Fee. The fee adopted by the Council through Jesse's leadership has resulted in millions in funding for new affordable housing, as well as new low-income units. Jesse has advocated for the highest impact fees feasible to ensure we provide adequate affordable housing, while other Councilmembers voted to give discounts to favored developers.
- Jesse proposed increasing the business license tax for rental properties as a vehicle to fund affordable housing. The tax is on the November ballot as Measure U1.

His leadership also helped expand the right for tenants to provide confidential complaints about safety issues.
- Jesse led efforts to adopt a Soft Story Ordinance, requiring seismically unsafe apartment buildings to be retrofitted, improving safety and protecting our housing stock.
- Jesse has led efforts to protect our children and community from the harmful effects of tobacco, including proposing tobacco buffer zones around schools, banning the use of e-cigarettes in public, and increasing the age to purchase tobacco in Berkeley, prior to the State enacting similar legislation.

These cameras will serve as objective eye-witnesses and help establish the facts around criminal investigations and allegations of misconduct. They will help protect both our police officers and our citizens.

- After reports surfaced about a small group of landlords showing apartments and pocketing application fees even if they didn't intend to rent the apartments, Jesse authored and passed an ordinance which notifies rental applicants about the limits on application screening fees and their right to a refund of any unused fees.

- Jesse is leading efforts to strengthen the Rental Housing Safety Program to improve housing safety.
Jesse Arreguin Has Worked to Make Government More Open, Transparent, and Accessible.
- Jesse authored Measure W1, which will appear on the November ballot, to establish a Citizen's Redistricting Commission.

- Jesse worked with Berkeley Budget SOS to advocate for a yearly report on the City's long term financial obligations.
- Jesse has proposed implementing a Citizens Budget Commission, to ensure that the public and finance experts have oversight over our City finances and bring expertise and innovation to managing the City's limited resources in an equitable manner.
Jesse Arreguin Has Made Berkeley's City Services More Convenient.
- Jesse has led efforts to increase the City of Berkeley's usage of social media, to better engage with the public.
- Jesse introduced a proposal to develop methods of notifying residents about upcoming street sweeping days through mobile apps and email, to minimize inconvenience to residents.
- To reduce parking difficulties for residents, Jesse authored a proposal to increase the Saturday enforcement of Residential Preferential Parking (RPP) areas in neighborhoods around Downtown and North Shattuck, so local residents can park within walking distance of their homes on weekends.
- Jesse has proposed improvements to the city's 311 system, to bring more basic City services online.
- Jesse is working to streamline Berkeley's business permitting process and improve customer service, so local business owners can get more things done online without the hassle of going to City Hall.

In two new local novels, truth wears the thin disguise of fiction
Captivity, corruption, escapes, flights in truth and fantasy, murder, messages from the dead, revenge, suicide …
The stuff of thriller fiction. But in the lives of authors Donald Shomette, Helena Mann-Melnitchenko and Eugene Melnitchenko, such events were terribly real.
Enjoy the balance while we can
The waning crescent moon rises around 3am Friday, its upper tip pointing to the red planet Mars, only five degrees away. Both shine within the faint stars of Cancer, home to the Beehive star cluster, which appears as a smudge of light a half-dozen degrees behind moon and planet. By 5am, the moon and Mars are well placed about 30 degrees high in the east.
After Irene and Lee's one-two punch, hands big and small help Chesapeake Country rise
It's taking hands big and small to help Chesapeake Country rise from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee's one-two punch. Lending those helping hands have been neighbors, combined efforts of individuals, local and state agencies, the American Red Cross and big corporate citizens like Dominion Cove Point.
Even the actors don't know whodunit in this appealing mystery
The works of Agatha Christie, the queen of murder and reportedly the best-selling author of all time, are timeless because her characters transcend their settings. The privileged classes, it seems, are no happier than the rest of us, so we adore their frailties as much as the grandeur that surrounds them....
A Hollywood stuntman moonlights as a wheelman but winds up in the mob's crosshairs after a heist goes bad
Los Angeles stunt driver, Driver (Ryan Gosling: Crazy, Stupid, Love.), isn't above moonlighting to make a little extra cash. He offers his services as a wheelman to robbers in the greater L.A. area.
Farewell to one neighbor; bon voyage to another
For most of my earlier years, the neighborhoods where I lived were grids, and connections followed straight lines, side to side and front to back. Sometimes I was lucky and the next- or nearly next-door neighbors were people of shared interests beyond the chance of proximity....
Don't bother trying to put them back together
Irene left us many trees with split trunks. Splitting occurs mostly on shade trees with narrow crotches. Narrow crotches are weak and break easily when strong winds whip the branches back and forth.
Use the down-time to clean your gear
Today I put on long pants for the first time since last June. Normally this is not entirely a bad thing because chilly fall weather means that bigger rockfish will be in the shallow water I love to fish. But not right now. Around our neck of the woods the fishing is pretty much on hold, and it may take some time before it returns to normal.
National certification hinges on finding 150 homeowners with backyard wildlife habitats
Annapolis is a city with a green ethic. We've been cultivating greenspaces for half a century with street-end parks, our Greenscape city beautification program, our commitment to cover half the city with a tree canopy and our cooperative program with Baltimore Gas and Electric to plant the right tree in the right place.
Death interrupts but does not end the osprey cycle
As the osprey head south this year, we say goodbye forever to one special bird: Olive Osprey.
Like many of her species, she was shot. Not over Cuba or the Dominican Republic, where fish farmers consider osprey birds of prey. Olive was shot as she sat on her eggs in her nest in Southern Anne Arundel County, where she had been welcomed and had gained celebrity.

That's the question I have been getting a lot lately. I have got an answer if you've been asking the same question. The cold air has been stuck up in Alaska.
Check out the information the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, Alaska put out.
"January 2012 was the coldest month in more than 40 years in Fairbanks. Not since January 1971 has the Fairbanks area endured a month as cold as this." This was also the 5th coldest January on record. (The coldest January on record was 1971 when the temperature was 31.7° below average per day.) Fairbanks finished January 2012 at 19° below average per day. Nome, Alaska was 21° below average per day.
Diving a little deeper in to the numbers... At the Fairbanks Airport, the average high temperature for January -18.2°. The average low temperature was -35°.
I haven't had too many complaints about not having the barbaric temperatures but it needs to feel like winter... Right?! The start of 2012 has been crazy warm across the Midwest. Here's a look at how temperatures fared compared to normal for January 2012.
- Carbondale +4.9°
- Chicago 6.4°
- Moline +6.3°
- Bloomington +4.7°
- Evansville +4.9°
- Indianapolis +5.6°
- Lafayette +5.4°
- Muncie +4.3°
- Kentucky:
- Paducah +5.5°
- Cape Girardeau +6.1°
- Chesterfield +5.1°
- Columbia +5.7°
- Poplar Bluff +5.9°
- St. Charles +4.7°
- St. Louis +6.3°

Belle Plaine Winter Day LayoutPosted in Scrapbook Pages and tagged with Fancy Pants, fiber, Making Memories, stickers on 03/14/2011 02:30 pm by Wendy
Supplies used: Fancy Pants Wintertime paper pack (paper, stickers, journal box), and Deck the Halls Trims by Making Memories.
This winter layout was from our Christmas trip to Belle Plaine MN in 2009. It was a snowy Christmas and the question wasn't IF you would get snowed in but WHERE you wanted to get snowed in at. We chose to make the trip to my sister's and we had fun playing games over the holiday. The guys worked together to shovel and the girls made snowmen. The Wintertime pack by Fancy Pants was perfect for these pics. I purchase it from Crop Chocolate. The scarf on the snowman sticker stuck out farther than I wanted so I snipped it off and stuck it down at a different angle to fit my page better. I matted the snowflake sticker border on red cardstock so it would stand out more. I added fiber to the center of the snowflakes, the hat, and hot chocolate mug by tying it in a knot and adhering with a glue dot. This added the perfect touch of sparkle to my page!

Yesterday at 1PM I was invited to play some music in an African restaurant called Le Massai, a 5 mins walk from my hotel residence. When I showed up with my guitar in hand, a band of Cameroonian musicians were sitting round a table waiting to have a short jam session. The friendly owners of the restaurant introduced me to them, and told me to sit between them and, music maestro! I felt a little overwhelmed as I wasn't at all sure what we were going to play together, but after 2 or 3 mins of tinkering around, we found some common ground and improvised harmoniously all together. It was great fun, entrancing, pleasing, different, exotic for me, and seemed to please the clients and the owners too, who requested "more!" as soon as we finished our first song.
The owners of the restaurant had seen me with my guitar the previous evening – I had met Rachel and Grace there for dinner at Le Massai before going to Rachel's house for a BBQ party. They were instantly very enthused by my apparent musicianship and immediately invited me to come to the restaurant the following day to play for them. After the jam with the musicians, I chatted quite a while the two owners who were very pleased with the performance, they offered me a drink, and I was even told come to the restaurant whenever to hang out or eat for free. I spent the earlier part of the afternoon with them, helping them close for lunch and speaking about all sorts of things, such as the benefits of travel, the release music can offer people, etc…
The band also were very enthused by this different sort of jam session, gave me one of their CDs, and insisted on having photos taken of us all together. They were a trio – two percussionists, and one guy played what I can best describe as a hand made mini steel guitar. It made a fantastic sound – unfortunately I do not remember the name of the instrument as it was very difficult to pronounce! Anyway, what a great afternoon full of new discoveries and musical treats!
I went back to the room to put my guitar down, and could here the drumming and energy of the Goziéval, Gosier's very own carnival beginning to sound from the town's streets. I headed out there late afternoon, watched the parades, followed some, went up and down the town's center… The West Indies carnivals are full of stands which sell sweets, bon-bons, popcorn, candy-floss, lollipops, sodas, beers, and these special cold treats which consist of crushed ice and colorful flavored syrups served in plastic cups. And of course, there are the famous snack stands, which sell Agoulous, regular sandwiches and the infamous Bokits – very filling and delicious sandwiches made with deep fried bread. All these stands sell their treats at incredibly low prices, and people munch on the snacks as the groups parade by. I have never in my life been to something so unique.
The groups that parade by are always full to the brim with energy, rhythm, sound, percussion, lively dancing, incredible costumes. One large group which I followed with much enthusiasm boasted recycled costumes – hats made with plastic bottles, belts made with bottle caps. I thought this was very representative of island culture. If the beat of a particular group really gets you going, you can decide to follow it and let yourself be carried away by the music.
These past days I have met Rachel's housemates and fellow ERASMUS friends – all doing really interesting things like medical studies, english teaching jobs, being part of travel associations… It is really nice to meet fellow keen travelers and hear their takes on cultural differences, political observations, fun tips and advice on what to visit, who to meet, what to do with your spare time. It is also heart-warming to see all different types of cultural backgrounds and nationalities blend together so well – this is one of the things I appreciate so much about our generation: the eagerness a lot of us have to travel, communicate, understand and learn about each other.
I have another week left in Guadeloupe – next Monday I fly to Martinique, the final destination of my incredible tropical journey…

After prolonged discussions and debates, the Premier League has announced the next transfer deadline to be on August 9th and not 31st. While the move imparts more clarity concerning players' focus and commitment, it also hands advantages and privileges to other European leagues.
While the summer transfer window of 2017 will be remembered throughout the world for the astronomical deals of Neymar and Ousmane Dembele, it has also seen smaller clubs exhibiting tremendous courage and determination in holding on to their important players against the affluent few; even if that meant losing them for free next year or risking the atmosphere of the dressing room with players unwilling to commit.
Some prime examples would be Phillipe Coutinho of Liverpool and Virgil van Dijk of Southampton, who had handed over transfer requests to their respective clubs and weren't allowed to leave. It is a huge risk keeping players against their wishes, but both the clubs had already decided that they would shed off their skin of a 'selling club'.
But, there is a price for such chivalry and North London club Arsenal paid for it. Their English midfielder, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, was one of the shocking departures from the Emirates this summer, contrary to the raging speculations that their star players Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil were being targeted by other sides, something that the media gorged on throughout the window.
He had apparently informed the manager about his desire to leave the club but the club decided to hold on to him until the last minute. And the outcome has clearly exhibited what was wrong with the transfer window. Manager Arsene Wenger had started the player against Liverpool, the last game before the transfer deadline day, along with a few more players who were realistically linked with a move away in the next two days.
The Gunners lost to the Merseyside club 4-0 with the gaffer receiving a lot of flak for his side's spineless performance. Arsenal went into the international break as one of the bottom three clubs losing two of their opening three games, and the manager didn't hold back his anger and frustration after the window was closed.
In an interview, he said, "The players who do not play or the players who are tapped up in October they already start again to think, 'where do I go in January?'" added Wenger.
While Arsenal paid for their risk of fielding players against their wishes, clubs like Liverpool, Southampton, Everton, Swansea City and more, had altogether refrained from using such options, no matter what the outcome. Players like Coutinho and Van Dijk haven't yet taken the field with the clubs uncertain with their commitment and attitude now.
The debate has been brewing in England for quite some time now and Wenger's comments came days before the Premier League organized a vote to decide if they would really go with the proposed changes. Senior executives from the 20 top-flight clubs of English football soon met in a central London hotel to vote for it.
A majority of 14 clubs voted in favour of the changes, while five clubs voted against it. Burnley
Announcing the new rule, Premier League chairman Richard Scudamore, said, "When the 20 are playing each other you could have a person in your team one week and be playing against him the next, or worse the player not playing because of speculation about him going to another Premier League team so he's not available for a week or two of the season while the window is open."
The Premier League's decision has forced the other leagues to give it a serious consideration too with Bundesliga immediately hosting a general meeting of club managers, where the issue was thoroughly discussed, but the opinions varied widely leading to indecision. However, it was Liverpool's adamant stance against selling Phillipe Coutinho to Barcelona and Arsenal's refusal to sell Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City, which really convinced the authorities that the Premier League could go for a unilateral decision.
However, according to the new rule that sees summer transfer window ending at 5 pm on Thursday before the start of the season, this only applies to the acquisition of players. It means that clubs would still be allowed to sell players to other leagues where the transfer window is still open.
While clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool voted in favour of the motion, both the money-rich Manchester clubs decided against it. And it very much hints at the problems to come during the next window with the new set of rules. Not all clubs share the same philosophy or transfer budget when it comes to getting in players.
While the elite few prefer splurging enormous money to go for world class talents who would fit into the squad right from the start, most follow the natural process of putting hard work into scouting and bringing up players that suit their style of play. Many
Clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, AFC Bournemouth, Swansea City, Stoke City and more, rely hugely on perfecting their combinations during the pre-season and the opening three-four league games so that they still have a slim window of patching the cracks at the last minute. Some really intriguing opportunities open right at the last moment that helps clubs get players they weren't really targeting at all.
Some perfect examples this summer would be that of the shocking loan moves of Renato Sanches from Bayern Munich to Swansea City, Jese Rodriguez and Grzegorz Krychowiak from Paris Saint-Germain to Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion respectively. The bliss of clarity here also brings with itself the risk of missing out on cream options, which will now be more enjoyed by the Bundesliga and La Liga.
While the clubs will surely have a more focused squad next season the players could still be easily distracted by other league clubs approaching them, those who are participating in the Champions League and Europa League. With no scope for a replacement, English clubs will be dead against letting the players go leading back to the distractions and commitment issues in the dressing room again.
Hence, the new move would only work if all the leagues across Europe accept the same date as their transfer deadline, which is impossible given their different starting dates. UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, has hinted that such a thing could be a possibility in the future, saying, "Yes, I think that it is open for too long. It is strange that you play for one club when the season starts and then that you can simply play for another one. I think that it is no bad idea to close the window at the end of July."

The Tragically Hip
Now For Plan A
Three stars out of five
Rock • When it's about the process rather than the product then you're probably in trouble. That, to some extent, is the case with the latest release from the Kingston veterans who've tirelessly mined the quarry of Canrock for the better part of three decades, inserting themselves into almost every conversation about our national musical identity. On the quintet's 13th studio album, much has been made, most notably by producer Gavin Brown in the press material accompanying the release, about the intent to harness their live power, allow that to convey the urgency of the music and its power. Well, despite the process of a quick-and-easy, two-week recording session, the effort is far from the raw, off-the-floor, lightening-in-a-bottle rocket that one should expect — or, at this point, hope for. There's very little to differentiate it and set it apart from any other latter-day Hip record, probably because the material, itself, is lacking that energy and urgency and spirit, and at times actually sounds a little tired, weary and even defeated. And that's not because the band has nothing new to say — although, it is as far from a reinvention as you could get — it's just that very little here seems inspired, save for the odd oddity from Gord Downie's mouth (be it finding Calgary the perfect place to break down or the simple, caustic "drip, drip, drip") and some nice, albeit familiar guitar sounds. Sure, there are some songs that you can imagine becoming a part of the band's live repertoire — ironically the lovely and muted title track — but for the most part the proof, which should be in the product, fails to coax out anything of that promised intensity. In other words, it's difficult to appreciate the sausage, especially when you've been told exactly how it was made.

Technology and Dementia--follow up
LeadingAge Center for Aging Services Technologies ran an article a few weeks ago by Geralyn Magan on 3 Ways Technology Can Help Tackle Dementia. The article reports on three different ways tech can help caregivers and elders "prevent, manage and learn more about dementia." There's a new app for the iPad, Art in the Moment, there is a video game aimed to improve cognition, NeuroRacer, (reported on in an earlier post), and the upcoming MOOC from Hopkins Center for Innovative Care in Aging on caring for those with Alzheimer's and other significant neurocognitive conditions (also reported on in an earlier post).

Another angle of the glassblower's booth, with the missing row of shops in the background.
This was one of my favorite hangouts in the Cartwheel Cove area, the wine booth next to Seville Sandwich. You'll have to take my word on the fact that the after picture is lined up. the only points of reference I had were the stonework post to the extreme left and the barely visible brick posts starting center and going right with the faint outline of the first window.
Continuing through the cove, this looks back across the food court. The building to the right is the chainmail booth, which was the other end of the damaged area. Directly behind this view, and quite a way back, is the Gypsy Stage. There was a post where I needed to stand for this picture, so I got a bit farther back to show more of the food court.

An interview with Jodi Lomask
Choreographer and Artistic Director, Capacitor
June, 2000
By Jill Vanoncini
(Photo by Marty Sohl)
I met with Jodi Lomask, Choreographer and Artistic Director for Capacitor,
before one of her performances at the SOMArts gallery in San Francisco
this spring. Jodi graduated cum laude from the dance conservatory at
SUNY Purchase and has studied at The Royal Ballet Academy, Merce Cunningham
Studio, Pilobolus Studio, London Contemporary Dance School and the Rotterdam
Dansacademie. She performed in the Purchase Dance Corps, NMH Performance
Group, and Kneejerk before founding Capacitor in 1997.
Jeremy Tressler, the composer who collaborated with Lomask
on BreathTank, was visiting San Francisco and joined us. After
tromping around in search of espresso, we settled down in a SOMA cafe
to talk about Capacitor and their recent production, Future Species
Jill: So we were talking a little on the way over about
the evolution of Future Species 2... how did that start? Was
there one kernel that it grew from?
Jodi: Future Species is a culmination of two years
of our experimentation and production. We got fed up with doing showcases,
and doing a piece here and a piece there, and not having control over
the whole evening's experience. We really didn't want our work to be
compromised by what came before and after it... we just felt like we
wanted to create a full experience. It was the next step for our group,
to take on the challenge of a longer piece.
We created an arrangement based on the piece that we'd
worked with Jeremy on, BreathTank, which was a 20-minute work,
and it was really the seminal piece. It set the aesthetic for Capacitor.
And it was Zack's idea (Zack Bernstein, one of Capacitor's founding
members), actually, to take BreathTank and to cut it in half
to make it bookends for the whole evening, to have it start there with
the breath, travel through all the other phases, and to end in the breath,
which is this sort of the sleep/dream state... to have it return.
That was a cross-country collaborative issue, because
Jeremy's over there in New York saying "What? You want to do what
to my score? You want to cut my piece in half, and you actually want
me to do the cutting and to send you the CD?" (she laughs). After
lots of back-and-forth, Jeremy gave in and let us do it. So that was
Future Species 1.
After that piece, I heard everybody's feedback, and the
main criticism was that it didn't feel cohesive enough. My sister is
a modern dancer, and her feeling was that starting with BreathTank
was asking the audience to do a lot. It was asking the audience to drop
down to a really deep place really fast, and the audience wasn't doing
that... wasn't able to do that.
Afterwards, I would ask people, "What was your favorite
piece? What stood out to you? What really worked, what do you remember?"
And they weren't saying BreathTank. And I thought, in the past,
BreathTank has been everyone's favorite. What are we doing wrong?
So it made sense to me that when you're coming off the street, you've
got to take people down in stages. Start with something that's high-powered
and on street level, and then take them places they wouldn't otherwise
go. And I feel and the performers feel it too like we're
taking a journey with the audience each night, and that's pretty interesting.
It keeps changing.
One of the things that I found really interesting about
the whole show is this integration of biology, this sort of physicality
obviously, dance is physical, but there's something medical,
almost clinical about certain parts of it. It's a little creepy... you're
thinking of blood, and spit, and bodily fluids, and hearing this sort
of wheezing sound... I'm not sure did I hear that, or was I just
feeling that? How does that fit in with your exploration of technology?
Jodi: What's really exciting to me right now, is how do
humans assimilate all of this technology into their experience and still
be animals? And that, yeah, we have all of these cool DSL lines and
all these great graphics and web sites, and fast connections, and neon
Jeremy: We operate more and more on the level of the mind,
and never deal with the body.
Jodi: Yeah. So what happens to the body? How does the
body cope with that technology? And where do they meet? I think that
because I also do graphic design, from my personal experience, that's
where a lot of that is coming from... the forgotten digestive tract,
or the diaphragmatic breathing that we can totally bypass by being so
visual and so cranial.
Jill: I would also say that one of the things I really
liked about the show was the fact that I could go home and think about
it later... think about it analytically. So, is the intellectual aspect
of your work conscious? Is that...
Jeremy: That's Jodi that's the way she is. (Jodi
Jodi: I think there's truth in that. I think that people
end up creating work that they can't help but create, so if you're a
cranial person
and I think I'm a cranial person... I like to analyze
things and break things down, and at the same time, I really need to
be a physical person to balance myself out. I'll go a little crazy if
I don't work out enough I'll go nuts because without that balance,
I'm top-heavy or something. I think more than I actually should, for
my health (she laughs).
Jill: (to Jeremy) And are you the same way?
Jodi: He's pretty cranial.
Jeremy: I'm always oscillating back and forth between
trying to analyze everything and feeling... feeling everything in the
Jodi: His most recent vigorous yoga practice...
Jeremy: Yeah, right, it's made me extremely conscious
of my body; it's made me aware of the fact that my mental processes
are directly influenced by my body, that my emotions are somehow contained
in my muscles... like doing a really deep stretch, and having emotions
come out of it, like laughing, or starting to cry. It's a really interesting
experience. I've heard dancers talk about that before, but it wasn't
in my direct experience until recently.
Jill: I was also thinking of the introduction to Future
Species 2 where that woman in the white dress leads the audience
through breathing and a sort of visualization exercise...
Jodi: That's actually something I've always done in my
company classes with the dancers, and I've had other teachers do the
same kind of thing deep relaxation exercises before a class starts.
I've often gone to see shows and wished somebody would do that. Just
say "OK, you've parked your car. You've gotten your ticket, now
you're here." So when the show starts, I'm ready for it. Usually,
half the show's over and then I go "Oh yeah. OK. Hello. Where am
I?" And then I start to pay attention. So I think that grows out
of a desire to really craft the audience experience, rather than just
say "Look at us! Look at us! Look at us!"
Jill: What are the other ways you do that in the piece?
Jodi: A lot of choices as far as order and pacing. I mainly
focus on what would excite me at this moment, or what would really surprise
me... it's really intuitive. At the end of BreathTank, when the
UC Men's Choral comes up and starts singing... that feeling of putting
the audience through something that intense, and that chaotic, and that
stressful, then to give them something so soft and pure and simple as
a sigh of relief. Things like that, choices like that thinking
about what the through-line of the entire evening feels like. And of
course, always ending with a fun piece at the end for dessert, you know?
Something that makes everyone feel good that they made it through the
journey... they should get something nice.
Jeremy: I think... that a beautiful form and beautiful
is kind of a tricky word but a form that is meaningful, and can
be integrated into one's own experience, is... I think that if you look
at dance, at music and movies and film, that if you look through all
the arts, or books even, you find universals... universal aspects to
the things that make them great. And I think that the talent in it
I've talked about this a little with Jodi the talent is that
you recognize what those universal aspects are, when you're the artist
trying to create.
But your ego is the problem, it's all these filters you
have in your mind that get in the way of it and destroy it. I think
what I'm saying is that creating a great form is not necessarily the
magic. Certainly there are all sorts of new innovations and tricks that
you can use to go about delivering that form and fleshing it out, but
the important thing is being able to carry through with the form so
that it really comes out.
Jodi and I are talking about doing another collaboration
on a dance piece. With "BreathTank", Jodi ended up giving
me finished choreography, and I worked with that.
Jill: And was that easier?
Jeremy: In some ways it's easier because a lot of choices
have been made already. It's more like being a graphic designer, in
that someone comes to you with a template, and your creative task is
in developing it, fleshing it out. They give you a skeleton and you
model it. So in that way, it was easier, because the form was set. The
form was the duration of the piece, and there were obvious textural
changes going on.
Jodi: I even sent you a spreadsheet, right? Saying "30
seconds of this... transition..."
Jeremy: Well, I asked you to do that, I said "Give
me exact times."
Jodi: I sat there with a stopwatch, "OK, Zack's solo..."
It was very linear, very "Tick, tick, tick."
Jeremy: So, in that way, the form was done, and I didn't
have to take responsibility for it. That's where it gets tricky, as
soon as I have to take responsibility for the form, then I'll think
well, what if this section were a minute longer? And how does the choreographer
know that having an aerialist going off at this point is really the
best thing to do? It's making all of those little decisions, feeling
like you're responsible for the outcome, and if you think of it in terms
of the possibility for failure, and judge yourself harshly, then you
tend to slow the creative process down.
Jill: One of the things that you talk about in the
program for Future Species 2 is using technology as a way to
create a less racially divided society. And of course, here in the Bay
Area, with all of these new IPOs and stock prices going through the
roof, the idea of a society divided by economic class comes to my mind.
So how does that work?
Jodi: Art is a reflection of culture; that's what I think.
Sometimes it can guide culture in a certain direction, but most of the
time, artists create portraits of the culture that's around them. I
think the most pertinent issues facing culture right now are becoming
technological issues, if they aren't already.
As technology becomes more and more of a force and a presence
in human experience, people are going to make up... people already are
creating their own histories and ethnicities. In the US, even if you're
full breed of anything at this time, you're being affected by the cultures
that are right next door, so there are all of these hybrids, as I see
it, cultural hybrids. I think that's very interesting, just on an ethnic
level and a cultural level, there are all these crossovers, but I think
what is becoming the more serious challenge for human culture is the
presence of technology.
And as that takes the forefront, Filipino this, Asian-American
that... that stuff is looking less and less significant to me these
days than say, 10 years ago. Not that it's not significant I
mean, everyone will always have their cultural associations and issues
in the background, but it's getting watered down, just because everyone's
being affected by one another. And I think that technology issues are
ever more present in our lives, they're getting closer to us.
Jill: And does that invasion of technology change the
Jodi: Humans relate? It changes the way humans relate
to their bodies, to each other, and aesthetically... I like playing
around with that. I like images of crawling into it. It's not going
to go anywhere, there's a lot of modern dancers that say, "Oh,
computers are very bad, you're alienating your bodies, where's the human
soul and the human form in today's society? Technology is very bad."
Give it up, you know? It's here. Crawl inside that monitor. Wear the
shit. Put the pixels around your head, you know? Cause it's not going
anywhere. I mean, it's going somewhere... it's becoming more and more
present. It's just not going away. I think that's my reaction to anything
that is that present.
Jeremy: I think you do have a closer mental proximity
to someone in Germany, or someone in Hawaii, or someone in India, with
the presence of technology. Because you can fly there in 16 hours if
you want to go to India, or if you want to exchange a few lines, you
can get on the Internet. Certainly you can get in touch with more people
through technology.
Jill: Do you think you would have been able to do your
collaboration on BreathTank without technology?
Jody: Noooooo!
Jeremy: Good point (he laughs). That's the only reason
we were able to make any sort of reasonable schedule across the country
is that we were able to send the information... well, some of it was
Jodi: But most of it was email.
Jeremy: And I ended up sending a file that Jodi got the
next day. It was useful in that regard.
Jill: It mentions on the Capacitor web site that you've
done a lot of performances in clubs, you did a show at Burning Man.
What's that like, compared to doing a piece on a stage?
Jodi: When I first came out here, it was with the intention
of starting a performance group. I started training when I was really
little, you know, 3 years old, and I've always been in the theater.
I came out here, and I was very bored with the theater. Only old people
go to the theater... you know, where's my generation? They're not going
to the theater. The theater is dead... so, if the audience isn't going
to the theater, then I have to go to the audience.
The whole first year, we only performed at clubs and special
events. Our first show was at 1015 Folsom, and then this warehouse space
in Oakland. We just performed in tons of random spaces, we really were
not in the theater loop at all. But then, we got a little frustrated
with that, because people who were organizing the events didn't have
any history in the theater and they didn't have any real desire to accommodate
us technically. It was OK if we weren't going to make a lot of money,
but we at least wanted to have a nice surface, and a few lights, and
that wasn't happening. We were producing good work, and we wanted it
to be seen.
We started with a full evening in our own studio, an intimate
warehouse space. We started with BreathTank, then with Connectivity
and Voltage, going into the theaters in showcases. We got sick
of showcases there were the same people in the audience at each
one. So we thought, let's do our own show, and see if we can reach out
to the audience and have control over the performance, and not have
to depend on club owners and event planners to accommodate us. That's
been interesting. People from the dance world show up and say, "Wow,
I don't see the same people I saw at that other performance." So
I don't know exactly who our audience is, but we're somehow able to
reach a new audience, and we're very pleased with that. It's fairly
diverse, and interesting, and it's been a great experience connecting
with the audience each night. I feel like the performers and the audience
have been sharing an experience, rather than us having an experience
and the audience being the voyeurs, watching us.

My daughter will be one year old on the 4th and people keep telling me to let her try eating on her own or she will never learn. I let her eat things like noodles or cut up hot dog, but I just don't want to clean up a mess when I already slack on other chores around the house. When do children usually eat by themselves? Am I doing something wrong by not letting her try it more often?

50 Babysitting Business Names (2)
Jake right here! As numerous of you know, I am a dad of a diaper user, which caused me to dive deep into the subjects of diapers, wipes, ointments, common techniques, powders, creams, ugh you know what I imply. More than the previous 28 months and counting, I have grow to be an expert, a connoisseur, a nicely versed human on child poop.
In 1988, on Stephen King's retirement JWT published 'The King Papers' a little collection of Stephen King's published writings spanning 1967-1985. They remain timelessly potentially valuable but are an almost unexploited gold mine. Simply because we do not receive an adequate quantity of organic ratings by means of the Hub Hopper, we produced a Mechanical Turk app to guarantee that each and every Hub gets the consideration it deserves. HubPages social media buttons are developed to display on the leading left of desktop and laptop devices with screens that are at least 1100 pixels wide. Excellent hub. These days, they media warps our image of reality so considerably, its difficult to tell the distinction among reality and imagination. Very fascinating evaluation. And as the other commenters mentioned you did a wonderful job of making it really relevant. Also, I think your graphic of the paint cans is actually cool!
Thank you extremely a lot for this great write-up! Now that I have to make an essay of advertising, this was actually beneficial! With photo ads, organizations can tell their story by means of gorgeous imagery. No matter whether it is inspiring folks to see your brand differently or to take action, they offer a clean, straightforward and lovely inventive canvas. 1 way to develop brand loyalty is to reward consumers for spending time interacting with the brand. 59 original analysis?

Congrats on your purple star. I am considering of doing a non-profit lens for a favourite charity. Thanks for the ideas. in reply to mshomeec Thank you BR. You are usually so kind to check out your sister's lenses. Possibly 1 day you will join Squidoo. Joan and I would adore that! According to Business Insider Kev thinks the debate over gender diversity in the ad sector is 'over'. I'm confident all the men and women whose gender is diverser than his will be interested to learn this.
It's funny that he should hear that. I worked in the agency business for 200 years and I by no means heard that as soon as. Not one fucking time. By no means. Pinterest is a great place to promote, also. I have a Pendleton Events Board and try to place flyers, web sites, etc. on there.
Tremendous quantity of great information on this lens – listen to the older generation and learn from them-it truly is 1 of lifes blessings. Radio is yet another widespread media employed for marketing. It can be completed via audio radio commercials or the host of a show can be paid to promote the item. There is more to advertising than just generating ads. So there is a lot more to our advertising education, too. If you acquire an OP 1-5 or equivalent, you are assured an offer you for this course in the major offer you round. Wow! Valuable certainly. I'll advise this a single to friends, colleagues and even on my previous college if they will have fund raising events.

One of the first things we do upon entering the children's church room every Sunday is let the youth offer up concerns or celebrations that they would like to pray for. There are some things that make it up every week without fail. Safe travels, even when no one in particular is going anywhere, is always at the top of the list. Animals, stuffed and non-stuffed, never get left out either. We usually get a nice variety of family members and friends who have been unwell, and some fun things that are happening soon that the children want to share.
Today we had a new one. When asked what else they would like to pray for, one boy said, "Dead people. I have no idea why I just said that. It just popped into my head."
I was immediately intrigued. As we approach the time of year when many cultures around the world are celebrating those who have died in the past year and ancestors even longer separated from this mortal coil, one of the children just busts out that we should pray for dead people. In response, and I think he thought I was going to respond less than favorably to this, I asked if he was familiar with the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. He had heard a little, but another of the children was much more well-versed on the matter and she filled him in.
Because our focus is to let the students lead the discussions, we'll be focusing these next two or three Sundays on celebrating ancestors. We are exploring some ideas of building our own version of an ofrenda for our deceased loved ones. This will go perfectly with the conversations we've had about altars as well.
A child's intuition is something to be nurtured and encouraged. There was a chance that the request to pray for dead people could have been met with some negative response. Some might have thought he was trying to be funny. Some might have wanted to shy away from the topic of death with children. We, though, are just excited to learn together about something that is on the hearts and minds of a lot of people around the world at this time of year. The celebration of lives lived and lived well. The celebration of our ancestors.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'name' tag.
I was a busy bee yesterday, creating two ambigrams of my co-workers names. The first ist Rebekka. She asked me if every word could be turned into an ambigram, I replied "almost every word" and to demonstrate this I tried to create an ambigram of her name. Not a clever idea… The double "K" was a real pain in the a** and I had to put much more effort into it than I originally intended. But I think the outcome turned out quite nice!
It was the first time I tried this kind of font style and I'm really happy with the looks.
The second design is an ambigram of the name "Ursula". I tried to turn her name into an ambigram some time ago, but I did't find a nice solution. The outcome was so horrible that I don't even want to show it here! But yesterday I tried something different and voilá, I created something that I'm happy with!
UPDATE: In the comment section John Langdon suggested a few changes to improve the readability and to achieve a more consistent look – and of course he was right :-). Even though I thought at the begnning that the suggested double stroke of the "S" would be a bit over top, I changed my mind. It is definitely an improvement! So, here's the updated version of the "Ursula" ambigram:
Thanks, John!

Public's take on cutting defense
Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates on Thursday announced proposals to cut $78 billion in the Pentagon's spending over the next five years. That's unusual news for a department that's seen rapidly increasing budgets for the past decade, and may meet with public resistance.

Press release
95-year-old Wageningen University awards three honorary doctorates
To mark the 95th anniversary of Wageningen University, part of Wageningen UR, Vice Chancellor Martin Kropff will be awarding honorary doctorates to three leading researchers. Professor Graham Farquhar of the Australian National University, Professor Richard Lenski of Michigan State University and Professor Brian Staskawicz of the University of California will be awarded honorary doctorates during the Dies Natalis Celebration on Friday the 15th of March in Wageningen.
Professor Graham Farquhar (1947) is Distinguished Professor at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. He has made a fundamental contribution to our understanding of the role of plants in carbon and water cycles and the methodologies underlying that understanding. He has also created a profile for himself in recent years within the climate debate, for instance through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN's climate panel, on which a large number of leading climate scientists are represented.
Professor Farquhar is receiving his honorary doctorate for his outstanding academic career in the field of plant biology (defined primarily by his work on photosynthesis and isolating stable isotopes) and climate change (the famous Farquhar formula is at the heart of many vegetation and carbon models), a field not only of major importance for Wageningen University, but one that can be considered socially relevant. His scientific work is ground-breaking, and has had an enormous scientific and social impact in a field extremely relevant to the domain and the key focus areas of Wageningen University.
The honorary promotor of Professor Farquhar is Professor Paul Struik, professor of crop physiology.
Professor Richard Lenski (1956) is a professor of Microbial Ecology at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, USA. He founded the study of how evolution proceeds in real time. He pioneered this field using experiments with micro-organisms in the laboratory. Thanks to his work, evolutionary biology has been transformed from a primarily descriptive science into an experimental science.
Professor Lenski is being awarded this honorary doctorate for his outstanding contributions to science. He already has a great many publications to his name, including several in leading journals. He is on many prominent international scientific boards, such as the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. He has also inspired teaching at Wageningen University in an extraordinary way, and taught a great number of scientists, including those in Wageningen. In addition, Professor Lenski is exemplary in conveying scientific ideas to a broader audience.
Professor Lenski's honorary promotor is Professor Bas Zwaan, professor of genetics.
Professor Brian Staskawicz (1952) is professor of Plant and Microbial Biology at the University of California at Berkeley (USA). Staskawicz has made a fundamental contribution to the identification and understanding of plant defence mechanisms against bacteria. His work forms the basis for modern, sustainable plant breeding for resistance to micro-organisms. Staskawicz is a member of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America and of the American Academy of Microbiology. He is an editor of the academic journals PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America) and CELL.
Professor Staskawicz is being awarded this honorary doctorate for his impressive academic impact on the field of sustainable crop protection, plant sciences, and microbiology, all areas of eminent importance to Wageningen University. He has always exhibited flair in dedicating his efforts to the practical application of his research results. He is not only an outstanding academic but an exemplary teacher. Many of his students have gone on to leading positions at universities and in industry.
Professor Staskawicz's honorary promotor is Professor Pierre de Wit, professor of phytopathology.
Honorary doctorates
Wageningen University awards honorary doctorates on the occasion of its anniversary celebration every five years. These honorary titles are intended for outstanding researchers with an international reputation in one or more academic areas in which Wageningen University is active. The effect of their research on society must also underscore the role and the position of Wageningen University as an academic institution in society.

To the editor:
The religion of politics is demonstrated daily. The zealots pictured now on the news media depict a fervor not seen in recent memory. And why is this? Some say it is promoted and perpetrated by the liberals in their lament of their party's loss in the last election. Others point out the strong support of President Donald Trump in evidence at his rallies.
In any event it is no longer the politics of old. This administration does not have in the commanding positions lifelong politicians but rather those from the business world who need no gifts or payoffs to direct their decision making. This most assuredly is not the familiar politics of yore. The old guard politicians in Washington are praying to the gods of gifts and favors but now find those coffers devoid of either. And so they remain quiet in the face of violent protests. They pray the rioters will succeed in returning Washington to those days of old. But will they? I think not!
The facade of "go along to get along" has been ripped asunder. Uncertainty is being foretold but if it is coming the fault lies outside of the presidency but lies instead at the feet of the politically disappointed. If we ask the present day youngsters what is "patriotism" we most certainly will have touched upon a subject that is unfamiliar to them. No longer is the country being firmly in first place nor is it a currency for self aggrandizement. And so they march, they protest and they riot in a vain attempt to excavate their own ingrown shards of anger.
We deserve better!

The East Hampton Town Police Department handled a record number of calls last year, just missing the 20,000 mark, according to the annual report released by Chief Michael D. Sarlo on Monday. The 19,889 calls logged by the department continued a trend going back three years. Police reported a record number of calls in 2014, only to see that record broken in 2015, and again last year.
Also up, though not a record, were total vehicle and traffic citations, 5,827, over 1,000 more than in 2015. "Officers worked extremely hard on maintaining a presence in high-accident areas or areas which receive high numbers of speeding complaints," Chief Sarlo said.
In particular, he said, speeding tickets surged by about 60 percent, and tickets for distracted driving, such as cellphone use, increased by about 10 percent. The record for total vehicle and traffic law citations was set in 2008, at 6,050.
A notable area of quality-of-life improvement, particularly in Montauk, was a drop in noise complaints. Total summonses issued fell from 54 in 2015 to 13 last year, of which only 8 involved commercial establishments. Chief Sarlo credited increased cooperation between the management of nightclubs and bars, particularly in Montauk, and the police.
Over all, quality-of-life citations dropped slightly, from 1,320 to 1,189, still much higher than any other year.
The number of arrests for drunken driving has remained stable the past couple of years. There were 186 made last year, matching the total from 2014, and 187 in 2015. The most such arrests, 257, occurred in 2012.
The number of criminal arrests increased from 266 in 2015 to 321 last year. This number has fluctuated since 2000, when there were 362 arrests, a number matched in 2013. The total has remained above 300 every year except for 2015.
Parking summonses, which hit an all-time high of 8,631 in 2015, dropped to 7,588 last year, still the second highest ever.
Two of Chief Sarlo's goals this year, he said, were to fine-tune the department's new 12-hour shift schedule, and increase the number of officers and supervisors on the beat during peak call times. Those objectives are related. As of Jan. 1, the police force switched from five squads rotating through eight-hour shifts to four squads in schedules, meaning that more officers will be available for assignment at any one time.
The department and the Police Benevolent Association will sit down at the end of the year and evaluate the new schedule, Chief Sarlo said, with an eye on the "permanent implementation for 2018 and beyond."
