PRETORIA-- Beginning in 2020, South African students will have the option to take up Kiswahili as an optional second additional language, says Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga/
Kiswahili is a Bantu language with lexical and linguistic similarities with many African languages and is a lingua franca of the African Great Lakes region and other parts of eastern and southeastern Africa, including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
It is the third most spoken language in Africa, with more than 100 million speakers after English and Arabic.
The Minister said here Monday that the Council of Education Ministers (CEM), at its meeting here last week, had approved the listing of Kiswahili as a language to be offered to students.
There are currently 15 non-official languages listed in the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) as optional subjects, including French, German and Mandarin.
There is unfortunately no African language in the list of languages. The origin of all these languages is outside the continent, except for Arabic, the Afro-Asiatic language family, which is spoken by North African Arabic countries. This continues to perpetuate colonial mentality and necessitated us to take action and rectify this, she said.
Motshekga said the introduction of Kiswahili in South African schools will help to promote social cohesion among Africans.

Thea for FormZ - Open Beta
giannis posted a topic in Thea for form•ZDear friends, we are very happy to announce that our integration for FormZ is about to come out! Everyone is welcome to try Thea Render and take advantage of high quality rendering right inside FormZ! What is Thea Render? Thea Render is a photorealistic render engine with multiple rendering modes; one can start the top high quality rendering using its "unbiased" rendering mode (TR1/TR2) or - for those with proper hardware - create high quality renders with its CPU+GPU rendering mode (Presto). High quality is always there, in all modes. Thea Render is a physically-based spectral renderer with a very special material system and layering, which is the one that gives the absolute realism in the renders. It comes with a standalone product (Thea Studio) along with the integrated plugin. The integration is a plugin that runs right inside FormZ, i.e. the engine does not run as another process. In the past months, we have worked hard to integrate Thea on FormZ and we believe that the renderer can be used already efficiently for production rendering. This is why we are publishing Thea for FormZ - in a status of open beta - where we would really love to hear the feedback from the whole community (and plan further features accordingly). Thea for FormZ first beta will be available soon as a public download link. It can be used to try the software, all features of the commercial version are present (actually, the two versions are the same thing) but the software runs in demo mode (resolution limit 1280x720 and watermarks). Last but not least, we would like to thank everyone involved and in particular our very energetic beta testers as well as the relentless support of AutoDesSys. Best wishes

New social enterprise to transform travel
Transform Consultancy will carry out sustainable transport research that could change the way we travel
A sustainable transport charity has launched a new social enterprise that will provide research into the benefits of green travel options.
Transform Consulting already counts Virgin Trains, the University of Edinburgh and the Scottish Green Party as clients and has now formally launched a social enterprise.
Now it is set to even further investigate the beneifts of walking, cycling and road safety as well as examining issues around bus, rail, car share and sustainable tourism. All profits will be reinvested back into Transform Scotland's campaigning work on sustainable transport.
Earlier this year Transform Consultancy worked with Virgin Trains to research the benefits for travelling between Scotland and London by train. It calculated the carbon emission savings that have come from an increase in the popularity of train travel between Scotland and London over the last decade.
Damien Henderson, Scottish affairs and media manager of Virgin Trains, said: "Transform Consulting delivered a persuasive and authoritative piece of research exploring this subject which generated high profile and positive media coverage. They delivered on time and on budget and were a pleasure to work with."
Commenting on the launch of Transform Consulting, enterprise manager Elspeth Wray said: "We are a social enterprise and all our profits are reinvested in the charitable work of Transform Scotland, the national alliance for sustainable transport. All our work is professionally project-managed and delivered by highly experienced researchers and advisors."
Working with a range of experts in sustainable transport, Transform Consulting has access to a national network of transport operators, businesses, local authorities and third sector groups, alongside grassroots knowledge and contacts.
Now incorporating stakeholder engagement services, Transform Consulting will work closely with Transform Creative, which provides a range of design and communications expertise including marketing, branding and public relations.
Transform Consulting has also worked with Sustrans Scotland to draft several key publications, including a Strategic Review document.
Commenting on the work, Daisy Narayanan, deputy director of Sustrans Scotland said: "Transform Consulting's professional and expert team is a joy to work with, diligently listening to what we wanted to see in the final designs and then delivering high quality products on time. Transform Consulting are efficient, high skilled and innovative in equal measure."

It's been a little quiet around here in the last couple of weeks, there has been so much going on I've barely had time for anything, except for instagram, of course.
So, what's been happening? Work, mainly. It's all probably rather boring, as work often is, so I'll just show you some photos instead. Failing to plan is planning to fail! It may be cheesy but it does ring true. I was working out of the office most of last week, and that meant packing tasty and healthy treats to keep me satisfied.
This is where I was. The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Our little tent was in a prime position.
Although it was a little bit too warm when the sun was really beating down. I thought winter was supposed to be on the way? Apparently not.
Lots of green juice and smoothies. I think I might be obsessed.
Went out for dinner with a friend, it was delicious. More on that soon.
Saturday morning breakfast with the BF… we had to stray from our usual spot due to the early hour. I wasn't too happy about my photo being taken.
I was, however, super happy with my- not entirely breakfasty- breakfast. I still don't really know what it was, a salad on flat bread and some spicy sausage on the side. Ah-may-zing.
I had a duck/bird visitor in the tent over the weekend. He came to hang out for a while and then wandered off. Children found this hilarious. I was also told that he pooped on the grass beside my tent before sneaking his way under the side. Maybe it was the poop they found hilarious…
That's kind of it. I was in the beautiful Carlton Gardens for 5 days handing out magazines and bluffing my way through landscaping related questions. I drank a lot of green juice. I took photos.
And now it's only a few days until Easter, 4 days off! And then next week I am 31… madness!

The World Omnibus Bill: imagine the impact that this would have if was taken up by a progressive political party. Really! That someone might actually ask for our input on how to save the planet and improve the welfare of all!
Here in Canada and elsewhere, large omnibus bills are being extensively used to dismantle environmental initiatives and generations of progressive legislation. This is part of our current "democratic" process and used when the right side of politics gains the upper hand. The left clearly tends to dismantle rightist initiatives, as well, when they are in a position of power. This paper is not about how legislatures act and react, but about how we the people (worldwide) should be reacting to today's frightful and appalling situation.
Governments are supposed to be representatives of their citizens, but unfortunately it is not the citizenry that offers much direct input for inclusions into acts within omnibus bills. Much of the input into omnibus bills is written by corporations and their financed right-wing policy institutes (think tanks) looking after their interests. Their input is regularly included precisely as written.
Rather than kneejerk reacting to what our politicians do, we should be judicially preparing drafts of what we want in our society's laws and what we want to leave as a legacy of our being here in this generation and in this pivotal and critical time.
The planet is in great danger of ecological collapse and the welfare of the majority of all earth's people has declined dramatically as fewer and fewer individuals take charge of our destiny. The danger and decline is so great that it needs to be addressed as a worldwide issue. As a worldwide issue (as no man or no nation is exempt from the present and ever-growing danger) we need to tackle this by asking people everywhere on the planet for input into legislation that promotes corrective actions.
Initially it may appear to be an idealistic idea, but let's consider that we collectively draw up a world omnibus bill with individual acts to cover anything we feel is a threat to ourselves, to our planet, and to the future. Individuals, groups of individuals, and NGOs could take on any one of the 100 or so potential acts that would be included in our all-encompassing bill. Note – there should be a limited number of acts for inclusion.
Everyone wants a good life for themselves, with wholesome food, access to clean unpolluted drinking water, adequate clothing, a fine warm home, recreation, travel, luxuries, transportation, etcetera. Our proposals should not unduly diminish these objectives, but must lessen the direct and indirect effect that our wants, needs, and activities have on the wellbeing of others and the planet.
As one example, if chemical-leaching plastic, depleted uranium, insecticides, herbicides, hormone mimickers, etcetera are destroying our seas, soil, fresh water, air, and genome, then the answer is deceptively simple; – make laws that stop the manufacture and usage of such materials. Period.
Few would consider something as farfetched as stopping the use of plastic, but it is so destructive that it should be classed as hazardous waste. The 100 year experiment with these unnatural materials has got to end. We need to stop using them and it's as simple as passing a law that says "nothing shall be made from plastics without approval" by the year 20XX.
Those with the vested interest of short term profit will not advance these restrictive laws. It is up to the people to do it. Making such dramatic laws will obviously be traumatic and resisted by those who profit from the patent disregard for people and planet. Although we can be somewhat flexible on the implementation dates of such laws, we must be steadfast in our resolve and objectives whatever they may ultimately be.
Today's technology can bring together vastly diverse people to cooperate on a common and single goal. A few determined individuals can enable tens of thousands to share their talents in achieving what previously would have been unimaginable – if not impossible. (ref: Swarmwise by Rick Falkvinge )
We must call on those few knowledgeable individuals to step forward to take up and advance this idea as time is passing and the problem escalates day-to-day. If nothing else transpires, politicians of every stripe, everywhere on the planet, would have access to our collective and evolving concerns and expectations.

Charlotte's center city is ringed by formerly low-income, minority neighborhoods that are drawing attention from developers.
It's arguably the biggest trend in real estate in Charlotte, and the redevelopment has touched these neighborhoods one by one: Plaza Midwood, NoDa, Cherry, Wilmore, Belmont, Seversville, and now Grier Heights.
The neighborhood that appears to be one of the next in line? Druid Hills.
Over the next 10 years, neighborhood leaders are expecting massive change as growth spills out from Uptown and already-redeveloped neighborhoods nearby.
"We know that it's an up-and-coming area," said Darryl Gaston, president of the Druid Hills Neighborhood Association. "I just want everybody to be OK."
Once upon a time, the neighborhood was firmly middle-class and home to grocery stores, a bowling alley and a few restaurants. But it gradually fell onto hard times and earned a reputation as a high-crime area.
Druid Hills has been the subject of several efforts to bolster its fortunes. There's been a long-running partnership with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Housing Partnership, which has put $4 million into renovating homes, working with Habitat Humanity to build 24 new ones, and acquiring land for a park.
The housing partnership just announced that it has received a new $500,000 grant to buy up blighted or vacant properties, clean them up and build new houses for sale to people making less than 80 percent of the area median income.
[Agenda story: What does affordable housing mean in Charlotte?]
Across the street lies Brightwalk, the massively successful affordable and mixed-income housing development. And next to that, the county just built a beautiful new aquatic center.
Two big new developments, though, have neighborhood leaders expecting massive change in the coming two to 10 years.
One is Camp North End, the project led by New York-based developer ATCO on 75 acres of industrial land north of Uptown. It backs up to the south end of Druid Hills and will ultimately be an uber-trendy area with offices, event space, retail, food/beverage, apartments and potentially a hotel.
[Agenda story: The developers of Camp North End are smart and will make a ton of money]
While Camp North End is private development, the city of Charlotte has also included Druid Hills as part of its revitalization plans for the north side of Uptown. The city has pre-emptively labeled it the "Applied Innovation Corridor," a series of projects that will be paid for with a portion of $146 million in bonds approved by city voters.
The idea is to recruit creative-type businesses, restaurants, artists, software firms, breweries, bakeries and other industry clusters to this area between Uptown and University City. Camp North End fits perfectly into that vision.
Some of this proposed development is already being reflected in real estate prices with the expectation that drawing more creative urban professionals to the area will drive demand for housing there.
Though property values in the neighborhood reached their peak in 2008 and still haven't recovered, they've recently been on the upswing.
Property values in Druid Hills North, as defined by Zillow, are up nearly 13 percent year over year. In Druid Hills South, they're up about 15 percent.
Investors have already begun the early stages of buying up properties in Druid Hills. Some are flipping them, others renting them out.
"They are knocking, they are sending postcards," Gaston said. "They are doing everything to let people know that they're interested in purchasing their properties."
That has Gaston constantly asking whether the next decade of Druid Hills will be a reinvestment that will lift up the community or a redevelopment that will lead to painful displacement and gentrification.
Gaston, 56, grew up in Druid Hills in a home his grandparents first owned. He's seen the neighborhood at its best and at its worst. And he says there's plenty to look forward to with redevelopment; for example, Druid Hills is in desperate need of a grocery store.
Gaston says he will also speak in favor of the Camp North End rezoning petition this week. ATCO has worked closely with Druid Hills leaders and is actively looking to get redevelopment right.
"We've had many opportunities where we failed to get it right," Gaston said. "I'm just reminding people."

Summer brings a ton of fun, but also a lot of additional stress and worries especially when it comes to our kid's health and safety! We're traveling, playing outside longer, swimming, and so much more. Let's focus on some simple summer safety tips to ensure that your family stays safe and healthy during all the summer fun.
Simple Summer Safety Tips
First Aid
Make a First Aid Kit
You absolutely need to have a first aid kit in your home and in your car- especially when you have young children. It's easier to make a box of supplies and leave it in one set location so you aren't randomly tossing bandaids in your diaper bag or running around your house looking for a gauze pad after your child scrapes their knee. Head to the Dollar Store and make a super simple first aid kit for your car, or make a more elaborate first aid kit for your home. Both are great options!
Bee Stings
Here's my number one summer safety tip: get the stinger out fast. It's OK to use your fingers or brush it away. Just get it off your kid as fast as you can. The longer the stinger stays in, the worse the reaction.
The old school thought was to scrape stingers away from the skin using a credit card, because pinching the stinger could push extra venom into the kid. This is a huge myth. How fast you get the stinger out is more important than how you get it out. It's more important to get the stinger out quickly. Check out everything you need to know about bee stings!
How to Use an EpiPen
Speaking of bee stings, you also must know how to use an epi pen. The most common mistake folks make when it comes to using an EpiPen, is failing to use it or not using it sooner. It's much worse not to use an EpiPen on a child who needs it than to give a dose to a child who doesn't. Learn all about how and when to administer an EpiPen!
Wooden playsets are my nemesis in the summer. Gone are the days where you have to wrangle a screaming child while trying to pull out a splinter with a pair of tweezers. There are three amazing ways to get splinters out of kids: baking soda paste, drawing salve, and an oral syringe. These three tricks work GREAT with kids. Figure out exactly how to do each splinter removal trick here!
Scrapes and Wounds
Kids are constantly falling or bumping into things and getting scratches and scrapes. It's inevitable. As a parent, it's irritating to continually give kisses, ice packs, and band-aids to invisible injuries. But sometimes, our kids manage to really hurt themselves and wind up with a massive bloody scrape or cut. The best thing you can do is clean the wound and dress it, but if you want to see exactly what to with a wound do step by step head here.
Heat Illness
Kids are love to spend lots of time outside on the playground and playing sports. Heat illness in children is relatively common BECAUSE our kids are not that great at removing heat. The risks for sustaining a heat illness get even greater if your child is playing sports outdoors. The most common heat illness kids can suffer from is heat exhaustion. Check out exactly what to watch for and how to prevent heat illnesses in your kids!
Crowd Safety
Taking children to a new and unfamiliar place is exhausting- especially when you worry that your kids could get separated from you in an instant. There are 7 tips and tricks for child safety in crowded places, but using a stroller or baby carrier and establishing solid rules are my favorites. Learn exactly how to set rules for your summer outings and more.
At some point though, despite your best efforts, your child will run away from you in a public place. It's going to happen and you need to know how to handle it. Check out exactly how to react when your kid runs away from you!
Choosing a Sunscreen
Kids need to wear sunscreen or sun-protective clothing anytime they're out in the sun. At a minimum, sunblock needs reapplied every 2 hours. But if your child is particularly sweaty, or you've been swimming, you may want to reapply more often. Just to be safe. Learn more about how to choose a sunscreen and the difference between sunscreen and sunblock!
Water Safety
Kids love to go swimming in the summer! The best summer safety tip I have when it comes to swimming is to stay close to your kids and put your children in swimming lessons as early as possible. Also, understand that secondary and dry drowning aren't real medical terms. Snag more water safety tips and tons of information about drowning.
Choosing a Life Jacket
Speaking of swimming, your children will need a life jacket. Make sure it's properly sized and approved by the US Coast Guard. There are tons of different options, but the most important thing is that the lifejacket is approved for your child's weight and is Coast Guard approved. For more information on life jackets, check out this post and grab the printable from the toolkit!

Something like Amen, I guess.
I've been struggling with NaNoWriMo for a couple of days for various reasons. The latest one is that a huge revelation occurred that I don't know how to process. It's so huge, yet so personal, no one else can appreciate its bigness. (If my parents were alive, I could just tell them about it, and that would probably resolve the whole thing. They would be glad for an answer to my biggest lifelong puzzle.) I thought, "Oh, I'll write down what this has been like." But it seems to be like forcing a huge amount of air through asthmatic bronchial tubes. I thought I might just record it all aloud, but l think I would start crying, not from sadness, but from being overwhelmed. I have already cried twice since my discovery. It has been many years since I was the sort of girl who cried at the drop of a hat.
And nothing you're about to read will sound the least bit overwhelming to you; I feel it as I write it, so it comes out thin and watered-down. But I have to, so I can get back to the thing.
Once a few years ago, I was walking through some woods in New Jersey (let's be perfectly clear; outside the largest urban areas, and west of the shoreline, New Jersey is made of woods. It's not at all what you think you know) and I came to this beautiful clearing. I sat on a fallen tree for awhile and contemplated things. As one does. A sort of vision came to mind that was so clear and real and detailed, I thought it must have been something I actually saw before. But I had this impression it was in Virginia or North Carolina back when it was also Virginia, where my dad's family settled when they arrived from Britain at the end of the 17th century. There was a cabin in the clearing and it was on fire, and a girl was laughing at a woman who could not rise from her four-postered curtained bed.
And the clearing looked just like where I was sitting. It felt like some sort of epiphany. I was connected to that experience. Every year after that, until I moved to Ohio in 2011, I went to the woods in August, found a clearing, and waited for it to wash over me again. Popping up or over to the woods in Southwestern Ohio isn't really a thing, so for the past two years, August has just been a month to be in. I had this idea for awhile that something in the mystery and magic of physics caused me to be connected to the girl at the cabin who watched her sister or mother burn. I had a brief notion I could be the woman who burned, but I don't really believe life and death work quite so directly.
Plus, in the dreams I had nearly nightly from age 3 or 4 to age 17, I was never in harm's way. Particularly scary dreams about fire would follow a day in which I saw smoke in the sky, or a fire on TV, or having been away from home, uncertain it would be there when I returned. A fire drill at school would trigger a bad one. But most of them were fairly inert. In all the dreams, fire burned unchecked but never seemed to actually consume anything. (In one dream, the fire wasn't unchecked; it remained a tiny flame on the hearth which never grew, and frightened me as I watched to see what would happen.) The scariest part was waking up from them, light from a window making me wonder if the trees were on fire, noises from the heater or the electricity in the walls making me wonder if something was shorting out, soon to burn throughout the house. If I was too warm, I felt the door once I worked up the nerve to get out of bed, checked for smoke coming in at the bottom before opening it. But for years, I didn't have that nerve and just had to call out to my parents, too quietly at first, then louder in panic that they might not wake to hear me.
No one did much about you if you were weird back in the 70s unless you were violent or used only the red crayon. You'd grow out of it in time. There are a couple things I'd have maybe been diagnosed with if I was a kid 30-40 years later than I was, but back then, no one was particularly curious about or patient with a weirdo. It was mostly, "How about you stop being like that now? It makes people uncomfortable." The school counselor I was made to see for a few weeks in third grade gave up fairly quickly on our Monday meetings. I have a feeling he just thought I was lame, and too smart not to stop being so. But I'll stop digressing; this isn't about the fire dreams, it's merely and probably the bigger solution to why an event triggered something that would not ever fully end, even after I was an adult and could manage it for myself. We'll get back to that.
Once, just down the street, a magnificent old house that had fallen on hard times began smoking early in the morning. I mean that quite literally. It smoked itself to destruction. I came downstairs and saw my mom on the phone, looking through the front door. A neighbor had called, worried I'd see it and freak out. I went to school thinking about that house all day, and afterwards, of course walked over to have a look at it.
You're wondering about the "of course," unless you grew up in a small town with no real system of operations and the worst volunteer fire department known to have ever existed. The house just smoked all day, and later on, there'd be a flame you could see, but it never erupted into flames until many hours later. I went over to look at it with someone, and had this vague sense that it ought to be dealt with, but didn't quite realize it was destroying itself and no one would stop it. I think later I was told "kids were playing with matches," something like that. And eventually it did burn, and some men came and sort of aimed water at it, but by morning it was a charred hull that we were no longer allowed to go near. I don't remember what I dreamed that night, but I know I did.
It probably wasn't the most recurring dream, which featured a canopy bed much like my own, but in a larger, older room, with a woman laughing as someone burned, and I wasn't either the woman or the someone; but I'd wake up hot, anyway.
What the grownups didn't know was that I was never truly afraid of a fire I could see someone start or that I could start myself. It was when it was something outside my control that I felt scared. We had a huge fireplace in our house and I enjoyed sitting by it very much. But then I worried in the middle of the night that it hadn't been extinguished properly.
At some point, I began asking questions about my dreams. Apparently, they started farther back than I was ever able to remember them, but my parents did. I asked if I'd ever seen anything like some of what I described, but no one thought so. I thought maybe they'd started after we moved when I was five, because the house we lived in before that was burned down (by actual teenagers, I was told,) shortly after the county claimed eminent domain over the property, which sits above Blue River Road in South Kansas City, on the Grandview side. But it seems they started a year or two before that. I don't remember, even now.
I imagine people grew bored of my fire dreams. As I grew too old to call out for my parents and to crawl into bed with them, I just had to lie there night after night, convincing myself nothing was wrong, and if I looked out my center window, the trees would not be on fire. If we were driving back home from the city and I saw smoke on the horizon, I had to reassure myself it would not be from the charred remains of my house.
We moved again when I was 16. The dreams were less frequent, but no less difficult to handle or understand. One evening, about a year or so later, my mom got another phone call about a house burning that was being featured on the news. It was the house I'd grown up in. A fire had started in the garage and was so badly bungled by the fire department, it spread through the house, which was by then over 120 years old, and destroyed it. The only photograph I have of the house is a terrible snapshot that looks just like something which never quite existed. Okay, there are two. This one shows just part of the house with Mom and I nice and blurry in front of it.
I both love and am saddened by how terrible this photo is.
There's a lot I don't remember. I remember how it all felt because I can still feel it. For the whole rest of my life, though the dreams have been less frequent, they've included most often one which is set in that house, or along that street, and nothing is as it should be. Sometimes the whole thing is hollowed out by fire, or just fallen apart, or very, very messy. And I'm always so relieved to wake up, but still a little afraid to go back to sleep. The sense of dread never fully departs, though logic and reason allow me to bank it back down to a tolerable level.
I only just saw The Towering Inferno last year, because I didn't know how I'd feel about it. But I need as much William Holden in my life as I can have, so I finally sat through it and that was perfectly all right. Plus I enjoy setting fires, anyway; in the fireplace or the grill, candles, etc. They're a great part of life, after all, providing both warmth and cleansing. But I have spent a lot of time over the years trying to pin down why I have been oppressed by these dreams. The epiphany in the woods brought back a lot of memories to sort, and I drilled it all down to something I thought I must have seen on TV, like on Night Gallery or One Step Beyond. So for the past 5 years or so, whenever I thought of it, I'd do a web search for a description of what I thought I might have seen, but none of it was quite the thing until I was watching Sleepy Hollow with my son on Monday night.
In the episode, there was a reference to someone called a Sin Eater. I had a laugh, telling my son about the most scary thing I could remember seeing on TV as a child; a Night Gallery episode wherein Richard Thomas has to eat food off someone's body in order to take their sins before they are buried. (That's all I'm saying, because, go watch it on Hulu. Second segment. Seriously. You will never think about butter again without seeing him lick his fingers.) But when I Googled the episode, I learned it was on TV shortly before I turned seven years old! My parents were so irresponsible about that kind of thing. Who brings their kid to see The French Connection at that age, as well? And The Poseidon Adventure? I still see that poor captain's face sometimes. But I digress.
Or not, because as it turns out, that's the point. I forgive them, bless their souls. However, at some point in the late 60s, I saw something on TV that so messed with my head, I've spent the last 45 years dealing with it and trying to figure it out. After seeing the sin eater episode description, I started typing in other keywords with "Night Gallery," and this is what I saw that led me to the answer.
I found the title at IMDb, and nearly fainted. Actually, I think I shouted, which is sort of the opposite of fainting. I read the synopsis at TCM, and looked at Google Images. It was like staring Memory directly in its mad, mad face. That's when I started crying the first time.
Let me stop and point out that I totally get why this is actually hilarious, seen from above and beyond. THE DEAD WOMAN IN MY DREAMS WAS ZSA ZSA GABOR. It basically scarred me for life, so I have mixed feelings about your laughter. But here's a funny review of how the movie got made so you can laugh some more.
I cried because it was right there in B-movie purgatory this whole time, and because it was so overwhelming to discover and because I can't tell my parents the mystery has been solved, or even sort of yell at them for the tortured memories I have of film violence, which is probably why I'd hit the classic screwball comedy medication hard by the time I turned ten, and I texted someone I thought would understand how I felt but got a lame not-at-all-getting-it answer in return. Which, okay, fair enough.
So now what? Nothing, really. I just go on, same as before. How annoying, right? It isn't the end of the rainbow, or Willy Wonka's glass elevator (another movie that scarred me,) or a lottery ticket or a suddenly happy and warm life. Yet it is absolutely the answer to why this happened to me. Well, partly. I think it's safe to say most people would not have had this experience of literally thousands of nightmares about the same thing based on a movie they saw as a toddler. It's ironic that I spent so many years sleeping in a canopy bed, or else my mother knew all along and it was her secret plot to torment me, but probably not. It's ironic that the childhood homes I remember (there was one more, where I was just a baby,) both burned down shortly after I moved out. And it's true that I was such a weirdly sensitive kid that I had to shut parts of myself off to the outside in order to not continually fall apart around negative energy.
But I'm just me here now, 48 years old, and I can still feel it all yet be withdrawn from it, as I choose. So here's a thing you should watch, which is about all you need to take from this long essay or from the movie that spawned it. You need some introduction to it, though. It's a 25 minute long video review of Picture Mommy Dead, aka The Movie that Tormented My Childhood, by this guy who...is a sort of explosion of gay and nerd and self-consciousness. Mostly I want him not to sit in a chair with arms, and maybe be somewhat less arch in presentation, not project so much, however, I like how the thing is put together, and it's really worth watching just to see how drunk Wendell Corey can be and still appear on an ABC Monday Night Movie in 1966.
And so. And so, and so, and so, and so, and so.

Almost all of the present theory on the training of individuals in the workplace makes note of the fact that without a secure and stable life outside of the workplace, any training undertaken will be at best ineffective. Among the new training measures being undertaken by firms, Outdoor Training represents one of the most efficient options available. Consisting of tasks and problem solving conducted in the outdoors, in which the participants must multi-task and problem solve outside their comfort zone and traditional roles. Taken together with class work activities to reflect and discuss the outdoor challenges, it remains an excellent teaching and learning tool to develop and maintain team-work and leadership skills.
Our centre boasts a comfortable meeting room equipped with television, DVD and projection unit. The Dolomiti Camping Village represents an ideal place to combine training in an outdoor environment with a high level of quality and personal comfort.

Since going plant based I've really missed my sweet treats. I've got such a sweet tooth and on a bad day I had no problem munching my way through a few home made brownies!
I regularly make bliss balls with nuts and seeds, but I needed something which didn't have the added fats.
My boys love these too, so I usually put half of them in the freezer out of sight!
This recipe is super simple and only takes around 30 minutes to blend and roll. This might seem a long time; but I usually have 2 little people around my ankles wanting my attention. Without any ankle biters around it'd only take 15 minutes max.
You can keep them in the fridge for a quick hit or freeze them to make them last longer. You can roll them in coconut like I do or use chopped nuts or chia seeds. The texture is smooth and more truffle like, which seems much more indulgent and naughty!
Bliss balls:
15 dates
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2-3 tbsp of peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix all ingredients in food processor until it forms a ball. Roll into smaller balls. Roll in shredded coconut.

Last night I dreamed I was at a crossroads.
A literal one that I used to know fairly well growing up (though in the dream I was seeing it from above, which I never have viewed it from in real life), and a figurative one I've been standing at in life for several months now.
It's funny, that particular intersection has turned up in dreams before, though I think this was the first time I looked at it from above in a dream, too. There's not much going on at the actual site – there used to be a gas station that I'm not sure even still exists – but three of the four branches were where I spent much of my travel time as a kid. One led home, one led to high school and towns that had actual places in them like movie theatres or department stores, and one led to the school where my dad worked. I think we also went that way to go visit my grandparents, too.
That fourth branch, though, I know we occasionally drove that way, but I can't really remember where it leads, or what it looks like on the other side of the hill. I guess in whatever's left of my kid-brain, that direction holds the unknown; the unfamiliar. Not scary, exactly, but there is a bit of anxiety attached to it, because I don't know it nearly as well as the tried, tested and true routes.
My dream eventually put me back in high school, or at least in the building as a former student, if not a current one. So I guess it decided to go with the route most travelled, too.
Except for the route home, of course. No matter which way we were coming from, we always ended up on the same stretch beyond that particular intersection.
In life, I have the feeling that I've been taking the known routes all too often, as well. And there's nothing wrong with that, exactly, but for quite some time now I've just been standing at that intersection, staring at the hill that I'm not quite sure what's on the other side, and then glancing at the other paths that I have a better idea about. I'm pretty sure I know where those lead, and what will happen while I'm on them. But if I take one of them, even for a few steps, I'd still have to come all the way to this intersection in order to change my route. So I have to be certain that I don't want to go over the hill and check things out over there. Because every time I think I want to try, it takes longer to get back to the crossroads than it did before.
In some ways, the world moves more slowly now.
Or I do, anyway. I definitely do.
I just have to figure out a way to take a step again – in any direction – without feeling like it's the end of the world if I choose wrong.
I also think it's getting harder and harder to choose anything BUT the unknown path, which is also contributing to my long hesitation here. I haven't quite gotten to the point where I understand that, even if I have to come back to this intersection again after going the way I know less about, the NEXT time I'm here, I'll have all the information I need to make a new choice; a choice based on all the facts. I'll know what's on the other side of the hill, and I'll know where all the other paths lead. That alone is good reason to take the first step.
Now I just have to do it.
In other news, I had a kind of cool experience this morning, thanks to my Facebook memory feed. Four years ago tonight, I was walking home from the subway and as I passed one of the closed storefronts along my route, I saw this little face looking up at me:
I fell instantly in love, and stopped to take the picture, and glance into the store to see if I could locate the little one's person. I couldn't see anyone, but I assumed they were probably in the back getting ready to leave for the night. I would later worry that someone had left their doggie locked in the store alone overnight, and entertain thoughts of going to break the door and get myself a new dog, because anyone who would do that to a pet (aka dependent family member) didn't deserve to have one, anyway.
I did check in the morning on my way to work, and saw no doggie in the window, so that was good. I never actually saw that dog again.
Until I stumbled across the picture in my feed this morning and had a confused moment when I thought it was Brody.
When I took that photo, I wouldn't meet Alysia for another year and a half…more, actually. I had no idea that a little puppy who would look so much like that random one would one day come to live with me and become the newest love of my life.
Maybe I glimpsed my future that night?
Maybe I should keep my eyes open for a big bag of money next time?

After installing Configuration Manager version 1702, you may see the following symptoms:
- Newly installed clients are unable to get updates from the Software Update Point. This can also occur if the Software Update Point is moved to a different server after installation of version 1702. With verbose client logging enabled, the LocationServices.log file contains an empty value for the WSUSLocationReply entry.
- Some computers show in the console as "Unknown State"
Beginning with version 1702, clients use boundary groups to find a new software update point, and to fallback and find a new software update point if their current one is no longer accessible. If you install a new site that runs version 1702 or later, you must assign software update points to a boundary group before clients can find and use them.
Add the server running the software update point to the default site boundary group for the clients. You can add individual software update points to different boundary groups to control which servers a client can find. For more information, see software update points in the configuring boundary groups topic.
- Create a Boundary Group if none exists, and add all the client machines to the Boundary Group with the software update point as the SiteServer
- Run Machine policy cycle on the Configuration Manager
- Check the LocationServices.log on a client machine to confirm the client can connect to the WSUS server
Note that after doing this you may experience some temporary timeouts if a large number of clients attempts to connect to the WSUS server. This can also cause high CPU usage on the WSUS server. As the clients connect CPU usage should return to normal. If the high CPU usage persists after all clients are connected, see the section Troubleshooting High CPU usage on WSUS server in the article How to troubleshoot WSUS.

Devotion does not come easily — it takes practiced faith and study. Similar efforts — and similar dedications to tradition — are necessary to produce fine weavings, such as this silk brocade, and to preserve the methods by which they are made. The links are strong between the people who devote themselves to religion and the clothing they wear. In fact, everything from sect to position could, in some cases, be divined from a glance at the vestments — if you knew what you were looking for.
For formal and semi-formal occasions that may not be strictly ecclesiastical — that is to say, whenever you are not performing a clerical service — a spin on official vestments might be considered appropriate. Enter this lavishly refined silk vest and, of course, its matching bow tie. Appear in style for secular speeches, social events and fundraisers, and maintain your clerical air via the cross motif laced in throughout the fabric's design.
Of course, anyone could enjoy wearing this vest — that's one of the wonderful things about it. It requires no vows and no seminary school for you to proudly display this luscious silk brocade. You will particularly enjoy the bright contrast of the vibrant blue threads as they play across the dark black field, shimmering in the light.
As you would expect from clerical vestment material, this vest is extraordinarily light and soft. This type of sturdy yet nearly-weightless silk weave is essential if you intend to wear the multiple layers necessary for clerical services — but it's also nice to keep you cool in typical evening wear.
The backing material is made of fine black satin, and the liner complements it with a smooth black sheen. Beyond the custom-tailored fit you get with this vest, a belted adjustment strap ensures a comfortable fit. Shiny black buttons complete the look. If you are ready to shine, then this is the perfect complement to your evening attire.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired catcher Russell Martin in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan on Friday.
The Blue Jays, who will receive minor-league players from the Dodgers, will be eating a significant portion of Martin's $20 million salary, league sources told ESPN.
Martin, a 13-year veteran, broke into the majors with the Dodgers in 2006, playing five seasons in Los Angeles before joining the New York Yankees in 2011. He also played two seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates before joining the Blue Jays in 2015.
He hit .194 with 10 home runs and 25 RBIs in 90 games for Toronto last season. Overall, he has a .249 career batting average with 185 home runs and 751 RBIs.
Sportsnet was the first to report the trade.

In researching the widths needed for HSR and Caltrain I have found estimates ranging from 75 feet to over 120 feet to allow 4 tracks to operate. If the city was actually paying attention to these issues one would imagine that they would be all over the impact of SCTV on the possible options for HSR. One would imagine that they would be interested in joining the Peninsula Cities HSR Consortium and leveraging the power of multiple communities trying to influence a more positive outcome for HSR along the entire peninsula.
I just don't see that. Check out these videos from the HSR consortium website:
There are interesting possibilities for HSR and it would be cool to see the peninsula get its act together, not be obstructionist, and come up with something that would work. I especially would like to see the city of San Carlos start working with the other municipalities and try to come up with a unified vision for HSR along the peninsula.
Here is one possible configuration that could could be a possibility for San Carlos but what are the ramifications of the SCTV project to this? What is going to happen to Old County Road? Who is going to want to rent an apartment a few feet away from trains zooming by every couple of minutes? Is there really room for 4 tracks and a platform for caltrain if this project gets built? How noisy will these trains be? How much more divided will our community become?
Where is this analysis in the SCTV EIR? What is the city council going to do about this serious ommision?

The club is always grateful of whatever support it gets but maybe you were wondering how you could be part of some of our great events? I imagine sometimes people are concerned about what could be involved, or how much time helping could take up, but don't worry, normally it's just a couple of hours of your time and a whole bunch of cheering and enthusiasm.
Why do people volunteer?
- ** Many people volunteer because they want to put something back into the club that has perhaps given them a lot in the past
- ** People who are passionate about sport, especially running or about supporting local events in the community
- ** They want others to enjoy what they have been privileged to enjoy
- ** Perhaps they understand that if no-one volunteers that events cannot take place, and therefore want to help make stuff happen
Three Counties Cross Country - 24th November
Santa Dash 2019 - 30th November

Dalits and caste discrimination have frequently been subjects in Indian cinema, from Achhut Kanya (1936) to Sairat (2016), and the general consensus about these films is positive, that they are courageous attempts to deal with a burning issue that has stubbornly refused to be resolved, and will probably continue to resist resolution for a long time to come.
Still, it would be useful to look at the representation of Dalits in Indian film, as it could tell us something about dominant perspectives on social victimhood in the country that could well stretch beyond film, perhaps into every aspect of culture.
If one were to consider international films dealing with social conflict and victimhood, one could place them under several political categories, like colonialism (Battle of Algiers), fascism (The Great Dictator), capitalism (Wall Street, Erin Brockovich), Stalinism (Man of Marble), Maoism (To Live), patriarchy (The Life of Oharu), the films coming usually from countries (or set in countries) where the particular form of political oppression is pertinent.
An aspect common to the aforementioned films is that while they all deal with victims, they try to present well-rounded pictures of the situations they engage with.
Much of The Great Dictator is taken up by life before the spectre of fascism gains ground, with the barber's dealings in the ghetto.
They pursue mimesis in that they try to base their political discourses on social observation and the victimhood of the protagonists by forces without is only an aspect in their lives, although an extremely important one.

The Greenwich Sexual Health Team from METRO visited different areas of the borough to provide sexual health advice and free condoms, as well as Chlamydia screens for under-25s, to help encourage residents to take control of their sexual health and wellbeing.
The pinnacle of the week was our HIV testing bus in Woolwich's General Gordon Square today. Residents received a rapid HIV test, free condoms, and advice about sexual health.
Cllr Averil Lekau, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Health and Anti-Poverty, attended the event to see the range of services available for residents.
She said: "Royal Greenwich offers a range of free, fast and confidential sexual health advice services, and I'd encourage people to get tested, not only during the annual Greenwich Sexual Health Week but also at any time in one of the many clinics across the borough."
The team was also in Abbey Wood and Thamesmead on 27 November, giving away free condoms and information, and signing up residents for free online sexual health testing.
Dr Greg Ussher, METRO CEO, said: "Sexual health is so important to our overall health and wellbeing and we are delighted to be supporting Royal Greenwich Sexual Health Week. We know that these weeks are effective in raising awareness and increasing uptake of what is available in the borough."
An estimated 13,500 people living with HIV in the UK are unaware they are infected, putting them at higher risk of poor health and passing the virus to others. Treatment for HIV has improved significantly but there is still no cure.
People infected with HIV and who are taking treatment can live long, healthy lives, but early diagnosis is critical to the best health outcomes. RBG wants to support all residents to know their HIV status.

Even if a motorcycle is old, you may still obtain financing. Of course, financing depends on your credit situation and how much you apply for. Banks use a loan-to-value ratio to determine approvals and some banks have minimum financing thresholds that need to be met for loan approval, no matter how good your credit is. There are other loan options beyond a traditional motorcycle loan.
Check your credit. Apply for a loan with confidence-know your credit history and score beforehand. Check with AnnualCreditReport, a website that provides a free copy of your credit history from each of the three major bureaus annually. Make sure your credit information is correct and free from negative errors before applying for a loan.
Gather information before you apply for your motorcycle loan. Note the VIN (vehicle identification number), year, make, mileage and model of the motorcycle. Note the mileage, as well. Figure out your gross annual income, time at residence and time on the job; the bank requires all of this information.
Apply for a loan at the bank that you have your checking or savings account with. Apply with another preferred bank if you'd like; credit unions generally offer competitive rates. Check with your insurance company—many offer loan services. Apply online or in person by providing your information.
Apply for a personal loan if you were turned down for traditional financing. Determine why you were turned down; often, motorcycles do not fall under the lending threshold that banks require. For example, many lenders require a minimum $3,000 loan minimum or higher, with no less than $100 per month for repayment. Apply for a personal loan if this is the case, it has nothing to do with your credit.
Review your personal loan information, if approved; many personal loans run at a higher rate, although offer the convenience of a smaller loan amount. Use an auto loan type calculator, like the one found at Edmunds, to make sure your rate does not cost you too much money in the long run.
Sign all paperwork necessary to complete your loan. Provide the bank with any additional paperwork it needs, such as proof of your income or residency. Provide a list of references if needed.
Consider getting a cosigner if you're turned down for a personal loan.
If you're taking out a small personal loan, make sure you ask if there are any prepayment penalty fees.

Five top tips for choosing your wedding photographer
Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you have to make when planning your wedding. They are the person you rely on to capture all your special moments. So Sarah from Caterham Photography joins Ying to give you some tips for choosing the right person.
- Check their style of Photography, are their images documentary? are they all posed? Are they heavily edited? These are all things which differ between Photographers. Make sure you like their style and are confident they can produce images you will love.
- Meet you Photographer before the day, although your photographer won't be spending the whole day idly chatting with your guests, they will have to interact with them and you! Making sure their personality fits with yours is a must you don't want to find out too late that you're not going to get on for the whole day.
- Look through previous wedding albums, look through the whole day's images not just their carefully selected best images on their website.
- Have they already photographed at your venue? This isn't essential but if they have they are more likely to know the best places to take images. If they haven't they should be willing to scout out the venue before your big day so no time is wasted "looking for the perfect spot"
- Are they in your budget? Photography is not something you want to be thrifty with – it's most likely these will be the main things you hold onto after your day. So don't jump for the cheapest photographer available, if you need to cut down the budget consider sacrificing the "getting ready" shots. Cutting down the time a professional is need will usually save on costs.
And a Bonus tip talk through your ideas with them, make sure they understand what is important to you. If you desperately want photographs with your great aunt Doris or can't stand certain poses that's fine but let them know!

ActiveGuard® Mattress Liners for Bed Bug Control in a Large Metropolitan Hotel.
New Research 4/1/2015
Click here to download this research article
Journal of Medical Entomology Advance Access published April 1, 2015
Department of Entomology, The Ohio State University, Rothenbuhler Research Lab, 2501 Carmack Road, Columbus, OH 43210-1065.
ABSTRACT Sublethal exposure to pesticides can alter insect behavior with potential for population level consequences.We investigated sublethal effects of ActiveGuard, a permethrin-impregnated fabric, on feeding behavior and fecundity of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) from five populations that ranged from susceptible to highly pyrethroid resistant. After exposure to ActiveGuard fabric or untreated fabric for 1 or 10 min, adult virgin female bed bugs were individually observed when offered a blood meal to determine feeding attempts and weight gain. Because bed bug feeding behavior is tightly coupled with its fecundity, all females were then mated, and the number of eggs laid and egg hatch rate were used as fecundity measures.We observed that pyrethroid-resistant and -susceptible bugs were not significantly different for all feeding and fecundity parameters. Bed bugs exposed toActiveGuard for 10 min were significantly less likely to attempt to feed or successfully feed, and their average blood meal size was significantly smaller compared with individuals in all other groups. Independent of whether or not feeding occurred, females exposed to ActiveGuard for 10 min were significantly more likely to lay no eggs. Only a single female exposed to ActiveGuard for 10 min laid any eggs. Among the other fabric treatment–exposure time groups, there were no observable differences in egg numbers or hatch rates. Brief exposure of 10 min to ActiveGuard fabric appeared to decrease feeding and fecundity of pyrethroid-resistant and susceptible bed bugs, suggesting the potentially important role of sublethal exposure for the control of this ectoparasitic insect.

King's Critical Care Centre
Updated statement: The opening of the new Critical Care Centre has been delayed
King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Critical Care Centre has been delayed. Inspection works undertaken by the Trust's technical team as part of the final commissioning process revealed issues with defective fire management within the unit. The safety of patients, visitors and staff is paramount. Before the unit can be opened, significant remedial work is required.
The Trust has instructed the builder, McLaughlin & Harvey to provide a robust programme to complete the project, remediating all outstanding and non-compliant items on the Critical Care Centre. The Trust has been promised this robust programme of works within the next four weeks.
This programme will be subject to a review to assure the Trust Board that it will be deliverable and ensure compliance is embedded in the scheme of works. The design team employed by King's will undertake this exercise.
The programme will also inform the earliest occupation date by our clinical teams. This will be advised as soon as possible after receipt of the contractor's programme.
We would like to assure patients that the issues affecting the Critical Care Centre are isolated and there is no risk to the rest of the hospital.
Update: Tuesday 6 November 2018
King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and its design team are working with the building company (McLaughlin and Harvey) to develop a robust and agreed plan relating to the defects in the Critical Care Centre. The intention is to deliver the plan within the next month.

Charlie's Birdliving the dream with Charlie and Thandi and chirping all the way back to the nest.
Archive for mourning
Challenging faith
… the events of the last 3 days have rocked me. I am finding it so hard to reconcile this with any form of justice, mercy or wisdom. How was snuffing this candle out a good thing? How is allowing a parent to loose their only child just? Where is the wisdom in this great 'decision'? Awful things happen – things that really rock my faith in a merciful God. I cannot seek comfort there, because I see only the agony of this event.
I am angry about the things I saw unfold, I am furious with this god of 'mercy'. I am angry the the hypocrites who came and prayed loudly on the street corner.
But mostly I am just so damn sad – sad to loose a friend, terrified for her parents and gran, and sad that I can find no comfort in the god I used to know.
Cruel, crazy
…I have spent the better part of the weekend at the hospital, despite not being on call. And it's been a horrifying experience.
We have dear family friends – Aunty S and my dad grew up together, as adults she became best friends with my mom; they lived down the road from us. Uncle P, her husband became my dad's best friend, and they watched the boys and I grow up, as we watched her children grow up too.
SJK, Aunty S's granddaughter is her daughter's only child. A beautiful, blonde, vivacious girl. I always call her my city's Charlize. And tonight she lies in ICU, brain dead after a catastrophic brain haemorrhage.
A family devastated. A school reeling (she taught Grade 5 at the local boys school). Friends horrified. And yet, they are all here, waiting for the inevitable.
There is no hand of mercy here. There is nothing right about this situation.
My Girl
…is just the best. Last night while saying prayers, we always talk about gratitude, so she thanked Jesus for her lovely day and then asked that, "Please Jesus, help my mommy's heart to feel better." Bless her cotton socks!
I'm doing ok. Taking lots of strain, but getting through the days. I am still quite introspective, and all I really want to do is lie on the coach, watch the telly and read, but I can't; so I am forcing myself to do stuff. I am struggling with the running motivation, when that alarm goes off I look for every excuse not to run, but I am just forcing myself out the door – sorry girls, I am always 2 minutes late, and I guess this is why… Every day seems very very long… And I am weary…
2 weeks until we head to CT, 2 and a half weeks until I run very bloody far…
Home from the farm
…so we are back. The time was good, but I am so on edge that I am struggling. My dad was ok. Not great, not relaxed. Just ok. I know I spoke about this last post, I am terrified for him, and a bit frantic. He is taking such strain! And I don't know how to make him feel better. Or even just how to make this easier…
Anyway, enough moaning… How incredible is this view….
that's from the deck… looking out over part of the farm, with the railroad running through it. And long goods trains trundle along it (yes, I could hardly believe it myself!), with over 100 carriages behind the engines – amazing!
We went off exploring – found many giraffe! And a girl on a bike!
And I did get to the sports shop in the neighbouring town, and got fitted with some new shoes! Let's hope these ones do the trick! (saucony, since you're wondering)
watching him
…watching me. guys, my Dad is falling apart, unsurprisingly… But it so hard to watch this happen. Yesterday I got the comment about there being nothing left to live for. I'm not sure how one is supposed to respond to that…
There isn't an answer, I guess; I tried to remind him that he is indeed blessed, and that there are things to live for, even if Dawny isn't there. I popped in last night, reminded him how to use the microwave, heated up a woolies instant meal, and made him sit down and eat it. I always thought my mom was the stubborn one – I'm realising he's pretty hard headed too! I've convinced him to come away with us for the long weekend, but I can see his reluctance and general depression just getting him down. I hope he has a decent break with us, and in the quiet of the bush, finds he has more reasons than he imagined to carry on.
Those stages
…that I have to move through. I know yesterday i spoke about getting my head back in the game – well, I ran today, and nearly did why I said I can't do while I run – cry. I don't know if there is something wrong with me, or if I really am just tired, I am exhausted. Every step feels like it consumes so much energy. Crisis! I can't quite believe I ran a marathon 2 and a bit weeks ago. Oh well, I guess this will pass…
Tonight I have a dance class, and then a meeting about Thandi's next ballet show! I can't wait to hear when it will be, so that we can plan our big holiday later this year. We are thinking Scotland – Charlie's origins. And the Loch Ness Marathon!
Head in the game
…it's time to get my head into this game – the 2 Oceans marathon is a month away – and I need to get my head straight, so that my training happens and so that I am mentally ready for this challenge. It feels monumental.
I had a mixed weekend – a good Saturday, and then Sunday hit me, leaving me very blue. Tearing up and sad – I retreated to the couch and indulged myself with a nap and a long read… By the afternoon I felt a bit bad that Thandi was being subjected to this boring day, combined with an irritable and teary mom, so we baked a cake. Not any cake, mind you, Dawny's chocolate cake… And then the tears flowed…
I miss her so.

I had the pleasure of quilting along Fat Quarter Shop in their Snowballs Quilt Along. The quilt pattern is called Snowballs Quilt.
For my fabric in this quilt, I chose Chicken Scratch by Kaye England. This fabric is so beautiful and I am so happy I chose it! I almost always choose white or off-white for my quilt backgrounds but this time I decided to use Mustard (Bella Solids 9900 213 to be exact). This mustard is just perfect and I so love the way it looks as the background in this quilt!
I had a lot of fun making this quilt! And, I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out.

Two Opportunities that Detroit REPRESENT has for Local LGBTQ Youth of Color
Two upcoming opportunities that Detroit REPRESENT! has for local LGBTQ youth of color.
Paid Campaigns
First, we are looking to pay youth to create media-based campaigns. What this involves is spending about 30 hours over about 1 month to think up, create, and distribute a media project designed to address problems facing members of our community. Some examples of projects people have come up with in the past are below:
- Creating an infographic that helps youth in our community recognize abuse and find support, and then distributing copies at clubs
- Creating videos that feature DPS students' experiences with harassment in school, and screening them to current DPS students, along with leading a dialogue
- Putting on a guerrilla theater performance to encourage Arab queer visibility, and making recordings available online for youth who can't come out
Folks who lead campaigns earn $399 over a period of about 1 month, and we're looking for 1 (possibly up to 2) more people to work on a project starting in January.
Research and Travel to New York
Second, we are looking for 1 – 2 youth researchers who can help us study the needs and experiences of LGBTQ youth in Detroit over a one-year period, as part of a national project called What's Your Issue? Participants in this project won't be paid, but will receive three all-expense-paid trips to New York City, and will get to meet and work with youth and adult activists from across the country. The time commitment per month will be much less, but keep in mind this is a year-long project.
To be eligible, youth need to…
- Identify as trans, LGBT, queer, or otherwise not straight / not cisgender
- Identify as Black / indigenous / a person of color
- (For campaigns) Be able to commit around 5 – 10 hours per week, for about 1 month.
- (For research) Be available to commit at least 10 hours per month, for 1 year — and be able to make the three trips to NYC (all costs covered)
- Have an interest in racial justice and LGBTQ youth liberation
- Have an interest in making and/or learning to make some kind of media. (Ex: videos, interviews, drawings, photography, performance art, writing, etc.)
- Be between the ages of 14 and 24 (if someone younger is really interested, we may be able to work something out)
- Live, go to school, be from, or regularly spend time in Detroit, and have the ability to get to Detroit regularly
If you or someone you know may be interested, just reply to this email, or call / text me at 313 731 2453.
Happy New Year!

Quick Weddings In The Big Easy
The state that originated a go-slow approach to weddings in the form of covenant marriages is about to step on the accelerator.
Seeking to boost tourism, the state House voted 70-23 Thursday to let out-of-staters get married in New Orleans without the normal three-day waiting period.
Currently only ministers who obtain a waiver from a judge can perform "quickie weddings." But anyone authorized to perform a marriage will be able to do so under the bill. The legislation must be approved by the Senate, which endorsed an earlier version, and Gov. Mike Foster.
"We're trying to make New Orleans a destination place like Bermuda is or like Las Vegas is," explained state Rep. Mitch Landrieu arguing for the bill on the House floor.
Opposition from conservatives abated with amendments that limited quickie weddings to non-Louisiana residents.
Supporters of the bill even include Rep. Tony Perkins, the author of the nation's first covenant marriage law. Covenant marriages, which are an option in Louisiana, Arizona and Arkansas, require pre-wedding counseling on the seriousness of the marriage commitment and make divorces more difficult to get.
"I would rather see Louisiana recognized as a destination for marriage rather than a destination for divorce," Perkins said in a recent interview.
Roughly half of U.S. states have waiting periods for marriage.

The Boston Harbor Hotel will be the location for Elizabeth & AJ's wedding in just over 2 weeks so I thought I'd better get their engagement pictures up on the blog! Our first shoot was last summer and you can catch up on it here along with the story of how they met and the proposal:
Boston Engagement Pictures - Elizabeth & AJ
We lucked out with an unseasonably warm day in January and took some pictures around NorthEastern and the Christian Science Center before heading over to the Boston Public Library for some night time pictures. I've got SO much good stuff I'm working on right now so I'm going to be quiet and just get the pictures up!
Elizabeth mentioned that she loved this engagement picture I took of Jessica and Scott on the steps of the Boston Public Library. I don't like to try to recreate images so I decided to do a little light painting for something new :) Thanks to Kelly for coming along to watch the tripod!
Next up - Alicia & Bill's fabulous wedding at Renaissance Golf Club then Heather & Justin's snowy wedding at Merrimack Golf Club. Libby & Blake's winter engagement pictures in Boston and then a slew of published weddings and magazine features. Huzzah!

For what it's worth, here is another howto
This method is quite painless, because there is no need to cross-compile
the various supporting stuff like boost, libxml2, omniorb etc. Instead,
we use xapt.
The howto is attached in markdown format, if anyone wants to put it on
the orocos wiki.
Just my way of saying thanks for the good help I receive here :)
