This article is the third in a series of four articles about courtroom storytelling (links to part 1 and part 2). My goal in this series is to reveal some of the tricks of the persuasive storytelling trade in one place for the busy trial lawyer. I hope that these recommendations can serve as a pretrial checklist for anyone who wants to draft an opening statement.
A2L's litigation consultants have published dozens of articles about storytelling, and we've released books and webinars on the subject. These ten tips represent the essence of what we have learned and of what we have taught. If you apply these ten suggestions when developing your story for trial, your story will be more persuasive, and you will radically increase your chances of winning your case.
Here is the fifth of these ten tips.
5. It is crucial to make your audience care about the characters in your story. It's never just about a company. It's never just about the CEO, and if Hollywood can make you care about a mute trash robot named WALL-E, you can make your factfinders care about the characters in your story.
A major way to lose an audience is to fail to develop characters that a jury will care about. you don't develop such characters, your jury will either not care about your side or will turn against your client from the start.
Unfortunately, about half of all trial teams fail to properly develop the characters in their litigation story, and their cases suffer terribly for it. The excuses are numerous: from 'We're a big company, we don't have individual characters" to "Everyone on our side is perceived as bad." These are just excuses. I can guarantee that 99.9 percent of the time, there will be characters that can be developed.
Here is a step-by-step guide to using Joseph Campbell's model of the hero's journey so as to turn your story's main character into a hero.
To make this useful pattern more accessible, I have attempted to use plain language to describe the steps. My plain language description is followed in parentheses by the name that Campbell gave to it. Also, to help bring the process alive, I have matched each step with an example from a hypothetical legal and technical fact pattern, typical of the cases we most often see at A2L.
Here, our heroine is a lower-level employee at a stagnant remote-control manufacturing company, and she has an idea for a breakthrough product -- a remote control operated not with a handheld device but by wireless physical hand gestures.
- Something Interrupts the Ordinary (Campbell's Call to Adventure): Describe the status quo as it was at the time. Then describe that moment when someone sees an opportunity for change or a new threat emerges.
In the hypothetical example, remote controls are functional uninspiring devices that get lost, wear out and have undergone little change for 25 years, in the same era that saw the mass deployment of handheld phones and personal computers. Inspired by watching her nieces play a TV-displayed game that uses hand gestures instead of controllers, our heroine imagines a world where hand gestures alone can manipulate her television and replace standard remote controls. At work the next day, she hears a speech by the firm's CEO who is looking for new ideas.
- Obstacles Arise (Campbell's Refusal of the Call): Share how obstacles arose from the very beginning that prevented your client from taking the leap of faith required to pursue the opportunity.
Example: After hearing the speech, our heroine brings the idea to the attention of management at the remote-control factory and was laughed out of the executive suite. She figured they were in management for a reason and went back to manufacturing remote controls as before.
- A Mentor or Helper Appears (Campbell's Supernatural Aid): Explain how your client gets some unexpected assistance that is a sensible next step in bringing the opportunity to reality.
Example: Our heroine attends a consumer electronics conference that shows off some new gaming technology that reminds her of her idea. She talks with the reps at the trade show booth about applications they've considered for their wireless controllers. They suggest she show them what she has in mind.
- A Big Step Forward (Campbell's Crossing of the First Threshold): Recount how your client made the decision to move forward toward the opportunity with a large clear step.
Example: Our heroine makes the brave decision to leave her employer and set off on her own.
- Out with the Old, In with the New (Campbell's Belly of the Whale): Tell how your client demonstrated a willingness to embrace the opportunity in spite of the great odds.
Example: Our heroine's savings have run out, and she stays up night after night trying to perfect a prototype with the dream of returning to that gaming company to show off her work.
- Many Attempts with Mixed Results (Campbell's Road of Trials): Chronicle how your client tried to reach the opportunity time and time again. Usually, there are some successes and some failures.
Example: She created prototype after prototype, and each had some success and some failure.
- Finding a Partner (Campbell's Meeting With the Goddess): Describe how your client came to find that right person or right organization that helped them achieve success.
Example: Our heroine goes to the gaming company, shows off her prototype, agrees to sell the technology and joins the new firm to help them commercialize it.
- Temptation to Stray (Campbell's Woman as Temptress): Detail how your client was met with an opportunity to stray from the chosen path but chose the higher road.
Example: Our heroine is contacted by her former employer, who offers to bring her back to the old firm for more money and an executive position at the company if she will share the new technology they are hearing rumors about. She declines the offer.
- Meeting with a Mentor (Campbell's Atonement with the Father): Discuss how your client one day had a meeting with the person or organization at the center of the opportunity.
Example: The Chairman of the Board stops by our heroine's prototype lab to check out the new product in development and take stock of her. He says that they are going to bet big on her idea for the holiday season.
- A Period of Reflection (Campbell's Apotheosis): Explain how your client took some time to reflect on how far things progressed to date.
Example: While on vacation, our heroine watches as her young nieces again use a wireless gaming device to entertain themselves on a rainy beach day and she increasingly sees her product as the future.
- Success (Campbell's Ultimate Boon): Share how your client achieved the goal set out in the opportunity.
Example: The product is launching into stores, and the early reviews are positive from the technology press. Our heroine begins to realize that her idea was not only a good one but one with vast commercial potential.
- Don't Forget Where You Came From (Campbell's Refusal of the Return): Report how your client began to enjoy her success.
Example: All of the press swoon over our heroine, and she becomes a fixture on panels at technology conferences worldwide, often traveling for weeks at a time. Her nieces miss seeing her.
- Remember Where You Came From (Campbell's Magic Flight): Discuss your client's return to her roots and journey home.
Example: Our heroine, now fed up with long periods of time away from loved ones, puts an end to the fame treadmill and makes a surprise journey home to be with her family.
- Back to Reality (Campbell's Rescue from Without): Relate how your client had to return back to everyday life having achieved so much, only the world is now quite different for them.
Example: Our heroine is picked up from the airport by her sister who describes what was like to return from a military deployment and reminds her of the challenge of coming home from her own time away.
- What Did You Learn (Campbell's Crossing of the Return Threshold): Describe what your client learned from this entire experience.
Example: Our heroine comes back to her family and shares her experiences with them. Now she watches as her nieces easily use her invention to operate the television without a physical remote control. She is also reminded that the example of the children playing is how she arrived at her idea in the first place.
- Mastery Is Revealed (Campbell's Master of Two Worlds): Position your client as someone who now understands what it takes to be successful and is likely capable of replicating that success.
Example: Our hero notices that the children playing with her new remote control interface ask sensible questions about why other things like cars, bikes and computers can't work this way. We know that she is just beginning to see the possibilities.
- Loss of Fear (Campbell's Freedom to Live): With success under their belt, your client now has the confidence to look for new success and trust their instincts. At this point, one might begin the story again to show how your opponent enters the story and the hero's journey begins anew with new challenges to their heroism.
Example: While watching the kids at home and at complete peace, our heroine hears a knock at the door. It's a process server. Her former company is suing, claiming that the IP was developed on their dime. And so, the hero's journey begins again, back to step one, only this time, it will be the jury that defines the ending.

Almost every track on Baltimore rapper/producer JPEGMAFIA's- colloquially known as Peggy – fourth studio album, "Veteran," begins with a sample of a woman stating, "You think you know me."
A fitting sentiment, since Peggy subverts expectations with nearly every song.
The album's opener sports a melodic mellow synth lead that goes against everything the experimental producer has laid out on his previous releases, most notably 2016's "Black Ben Carson."
This immediately transitions into "Real N**a," which prominently features an utterly insane vocal sample lifted from the beginning of ODB's "Goin' Down." The looped vocals are then accompanied by an 808 drum beat.
Peggy's experimental production style is far from the only highlight on the record – simply the fact he's even able to flow on these beats is impressive in itself.
A standout song in this vein is "Germs." How Peggy stays on beat along with the squeaky synths and the stretchy, slow-moving bassline is a mystery to me.
But it works.
His range of vocal styles is on par with the variety of his production. From the calm and collected flow he spits on tracks such as "I Cannot F*****g Wait Until Morrissey Dies" and "My Thoughts on Neogaf Dying," to his smooth singing voice on "Thug Tears" and his aggressive near-yelling on "Rainbow Six," JPEGMAFIA proves he can rap in pretty much any style.
While the production on this album is nothing short of experimental, Peggy implements a few familiar aspects here and there. The omni-present triplet flow, popularized by Migos pops up on a few tracks on "Veteran." However, JPEGMAFIA acknowledges this flow is played out on the track "DD Form 214."
That's one thing that makes Peggy so special – his willingness to experiment with familiar sounds, while also letting his listeners know he's fully aware of the direction hip-hop is going. He's trying to steer the ship in a new direction without alienating everyone.
"Rainbow Six" is one of the three songs with featured artists on the 18-track album. Peggy doesn't need to rely on other people to make a great record, but he also proves he's able to produce for fellow rappers such as Yung Midpack, who sound at home on his off-kilter beats.
JPEGMAFIA packs his lyrics full of references to video games, film and pop culture. He tackles plenty of hard topics such as anxiety and panic attacks, but is also no stranger to familiar themes such as hating on President Trump or braggadocio.
While many of his topics aren't completely original, Peggy always brings his own brand of witty humor.
If he doesn't like someone, JPEGMAFIA isn't afraid to go all out on them – the aforementioned Morrissey and Trump, but also Lena Dunham, Varg Vikernes, Pitchfork, the alt-right and plenty others are called out for their unsavory behavior on "Veteran."
With this album, Peggy manages to make one of the best experimental hip-hop records in recent memory. He mixes the truly weird with some familiarities of modern rap in what will be a memorable album for any rap fan.
Grade: A, Familiar and foreign at the same time. JPEGMAFIA solidifies himself as one of the best experimental rapper/producers out there.

Hello World!!
By guest, Aug 18 2015 04:05PM
This is the first post in your new blog. To add another or delete this one click the Blog option on the toolbar above.
I have 40 years of experience in construction, From being a laborer to Project Management, I contacted several roofing companies in September of 1918. Robbie of Beaumont Roofing was the only person to actually come to my house and inspect the entire roof, not only from the ground but also a complete inspection by walking the roof. Robbie called the following day and delivered a detailed quote and answered every question I had.
Unfortunately over the years I had allowed areas of my fascia to deteriorate. Purely neglect on my part!
Do to the the effect of Harvey still lingering and the wet winter it took me four months to get the repairs done and the house painted.
During all these months Robbie returned every phone call I made to him as I attempted to keep him posted on my progress.
When I was finally ready for the roof to be installed, I called Robbie. His response was, let me make a couple phone calls and I will call you back. His message in the return call was "We will be there about 7:30 in the morning!
They were and the roof was covered in a very heavy frost/ice. The workers were positive and polite. They methodically started removing shingles until they had a safe place to work and before long the entire crew was on the roof removing the frost covered shingles. There was not a huge mess around my house. as much as possible was brought to the trailer to be hauled off. What debris did hit the ground, landed on a tarp that had been placed there and was all picked up at the end of the day. Not only was all debris removed but the entire area around the perimeter of my house was gone over with magnets, picking up any nails that may have hit the ground.
Beaumont Roofing has restored my faith that there are still quality, professional and polite contractors and workers in our area!

Sarah Silverman has delivered many memorable lines in her career, but for now, she is perhaps most closely associated with these words she spoke onstage at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night: "Can I just say, to the Bernie or Bust people: You're being ridiculous."
During the primary season, Ms. Silverman, the outspoken, Emmy Award-winning comedian and star of films like "I Smile Back," had been an enthusiastic supporter of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. "This past year, I've been feeling the Bern," she said from the stage, adding, "Relax, I put some cream on it." She went on to express support for Hillary Clinton, calling for harmony within her party. "I will vote for Hillary with gusto, as I continue to be inspired and moved to action by the ideals set forth by Bernie, who will never stop fighting for us."
But many delegates were in no laughing mood, and some who backed Mr. Sanders booed and jeered the convention speakers throughout the afternoon and evening. When Ms. Silverman and Senator Al Franken of Minnesota came out that night to introduce a musical performance by Paul Simon, the crowd began to grow restless and break into chants of "Bernie!" Neither Mr. Franken's counter-chant ("Hillary!") nor Ms. Silverman's ("Unity!") could quell the protests, so Ms. Silverman followed with her rebuke, now famous, which drew applause at the Wells Fargo Center (as well as passionate tweets, both pro and con, from home viewers.)
Speaking by telephone from New Hampshire on Tuesday, Ms. Silverman talked about her convention experience and her thoughts about Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Clinton. These are edited excerpts from that conversation.
How were you invited to participate in the convention?
Jane Sanders emailed me directly, and also the D.N.C. reached out to my publicist. I thought: Yeah. One thing they don't do right at these conventions is their language isn't accessible to everybody. Most people who vote don't know what Citizens United means, or what "oligarchy" means. It's important to talk in plain English. Part of Trump's success is he talks in simple language and he just says things like, "Everything's going to be great" and "We're going to be great" and "It's all going to be great." That's what a lot of politicians do. They speak in vague terms so that they can get the mass appeal.
Did you see your speech as an attempt to soothe supporters of Mr. Sanders, who might still have raw feelings from the primaries?
There's a lot of heartbreak in it. But the truth of the matter is, it's so simple. Look, Bernie ran as a Democrat, so as to not split the vote. I voted for Ralph Nader when Gore quote-unquote lost to Bush. He didn't want to do that. The Bernie or Bust people, the people who are like, Bernie or nothing, I don't know what their long-term plan is or what their perfect scenario could possibly be. I couldn't love Bernie more, and to help him at this point is to make sure he has an ally in office. People who change the world aren't always the president. I don't think he needs to be president, and I can't wait to see what Obama does out of office. This movement has never been something that he planned on ending with the election. And I'm absolutely voting for Hillary. You'd be crazy not to.
Knowing how much booing and raucousness there had been in those first hours of the convention, how did you feel about having to go out and face that crowd?
I focused on the audience at home, which is usually not what I like to do. But the loudest voice doesn't mean that it's the right voice or the majority voice at all. It was almost like the Red Sox and the Yankees — there wasn't a common sense to it. I understand the passion behind Bernie. No one's more passionate than me. I just don't see it as a defeat that he doesn't get to be president. He's so effective anyway.
And in the moment that you addressed the Bernie or Bust people ——
I wasn't going to say the "ridiculous" thing. They told us to stretch, and I just saw these people going: "Boo! Bernie!" Whatever.
When you're a comic, and you do material that you mean in one way, and people take it in another — like years ago, I would do a lot of racial stuff, and I meant it in a very bleeding-heart liberal way, ultimately. By being the idiot.There were people who would take that literally, and we would call those mouth-full-of-blood laughs. They're the laughs you don't want. And those people cheering for Bernie when he came out — the whole place was so inspired; the whole room was amazing. But that little section of quote-unquote Bernie Bros or whatever, it's the fans you don't want. The fundamentalists of any group, including fans of Bernie or fans of Hillary or fans of anyone are a bummer. So that's just a given. It's not that big a deal.
Did you feel as if you were addressing them as a comedian would knock down a heckler?
No, no — it didn't feel like heckles. It was such chaos. You can't hear, really, anything that's going on at all. It just is a really loud white noise. It's too much to take in or hear any individual voices. It wasn't a heckler return. It was something that's been burbling in me.
Was there anything you wanted to do in your speech that the Democratic National Committee wouldn't allow?
At the very beginning, when Al said, "I'm Al Franken, and this past year I've been hashtag-I'm With Her," and I was going to say, "And I'm Sarah Silverman, and this past year I've been with the possibly agnostic Jew." Because you know the Right is going to use these emails to try to separate them. It's what they want so badly. I just felt like, let the comedian defuse it and just address the elephant in the room. But they were like, no. And they are right. They're right. But I get so indignant. At least I'm aware, and awareness brings change, so maybe I'll be less obnoxious.
What kind of feedback did you get in the immediate aftermath, coming off the stage?
I have not been on Twitter or social media yet. I will absolutely Google myself. I've been nonstop, and I'm sick and I'm weak and I'm visiting my parents. So mostly, I've had a ton of feedback from my friends and family, from emails and texts. It's been very positive, but they're all people who love me, so I don't know. The people from the D.N.C. were very happy.
If people who still support Mr. Sanders say that they feel you've sold them out somehow, how would you feel?
That's their opinion. I learned the hard way, through comedy, to defend what you're putting out there is silly. Once you put it out there, it's for other people to experience, and you can't control it. I thought a lot about it, and it seems so clear to me that it's the right thing to do. If they love Bernie so much, why are they disregarding his wishes? He clearly is backing Hillary. Any backlash that I'm a sellout, that's theirs to have and hold. It has nothing to do with me. If you don't get Zen about it, you could really go crazy. My mom would always watch MSNBC and get so riled up. I would always tell her, "Mom, sometimes you have to change the channel. Watch a 'Bones' or a 'Law & Order' or something."

Night Sky & Astrophotography Tips and Locations
The UK is the home of some of Europe's best stargazing sites. Thanks to the dark skies and low light pollution ratings, the UK has more than 100 stargazing sites which makes it one of the best places to capture astrophotography shots. Astrophotography is challenging to capture even in the UK's darkest spots. Here are Wilkinson's top locations and tips for astrophotography in the UK.
Ennerdale, Lake District National Park, Cumbria
Ennerdale, located in the Lake District National Park, is one of the most remote valleys in the UK and is located almost two miles away from the nearest public road. This site has special stargazing events taking place all throughout the year. Weather permitting you can see an endless, illuminated band of countless stars across the night sky. Not only that, but you can also see meteor showers and, if you are lucky, the Milky Way! The Low Gillerthewaite Field Centre was the first Dark Sky Discovery centre in the North West of England and has attracted thousands of astrophotography enthusiasts who come to enjoy and shoot the spectacular scenery above.
Tip 1: Use a Tripod
Getting a great camera with the correct settings is always the first step. But, for great night sky images, a tripod is essential. You'll be shooting with lower shutter speeds, so to ensure sharp images you're going to need a tripod. Your own heart beat will result in blurry images beyond 1/60 second shutter speed and that's assuming you aren't shivering in the cold! (The clear skies which are so perfect for night sky photography also mean colder conditions!)
BONUS TIP: Remember to turn stabilisation off on your lens (or on your camera if you have in-build image stabilisation) when using a tripod. Having stabilisation turned on when mounting your camera on a tripod can result in blur due to how the stabilisation systems work.
Cairngorms National Park, Scotland
Cairngorms National Park in Scotland is the most northern National Park in the UK. It is one of the best places in the UK to perfect your astrophotography technique. The remote areas of Tomintoul and Glenlivet are particularly good for stargazing and you can see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) from the Glenlivet Estate depending on the season. Cairngorms National Park is on the same latitude as parts of Norway and Alaska, so you can see the natural wonder of the Northern Lights without having to leave the UK.
Tip 2: Use a Release Cable or Remote to Trigger the Shutter
Just as your heartbeat can sometimes affect the sharpness and clarity of your images, the movement of pressing and then releasing the shutter on your camera can do the same. By using a shutter release cable or remote, it reduces the movement that might blur your photos further. There are a variety of remotes and release cables that you can plug right into your camera or pair via Bluetooth, meaning you can control your camera without touching it at all. Modern cameras often have the ability to be triggered by a mobile device using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This is great if you're on a budget, but remember that this drains the battery on your camera and your phone/tablet quicker. Pair this with the cold conditions that you are likely to encounter, which also reduce battery life more quickly, and you might find yourself in trouble!
Galloway Forest National Park, Dumfries and Galloway
The Galloway Forest National Park was the first National Park in the UK to obtain a Dark Sky Status in 2009. It has been named as one of the must-visit points on a dark sky map of Scotland. You will be able to see over 7,000 stars and even the Milky Way, all of which are visible to the naked eye. At the Galloway Forest National Park we recommend visiting Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre and Bruce's Stone for prime astrophotography opportunities. The Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre overlooks the darkest area of the Forest Park, which ensures a particularly dramatic stellar show, while Bruce's Stone offers panoramic views of the stars over Loch Trool.
Tip 3: Bring Extra Batteries
It is easy to overlook the most important thing that you will need to bring to shoot excellent astrophotography; extra batteries! Long exposure times and cold weather at night can drain your camera batteries quickly. So, make sure you pack extra batteries whenever you're heading out to shoot the stars.
Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales
If you are looking to spot The Plough or the Polaris (most commonly known as the North Star) the best place to enjoy them is at the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. Brecon Beacons National Park is the only Dark Sky preserve in Wales and the locals are known to go to great lengths to preserve the dark sky and reduce the effects of light pollution in the Beacons. Some of the best places in the Brecon Beacons for astrophotography include the Llangorse Lake, which is the largest natural lake in South Wales and makes for great shots, as well as the Usk reservoir.
Tip 4: Learn how High your ISO can go without Noise
The higher your ISO is, the more 'noise' you will see in your pictures. ISO is how sensitive your camera's sensor is. When it comes to astrophotography, noise looks a lot like colour in the sky, cloudiness and what seems to be stars everywhere. If you are looking to get this effect in your pictures, then set your ISO high. If you are looking for darker skies in your pictures, try setting your ISO lower.
Exmoor National Park, Devon
Exmoor National Park in Devon was the first international Dark Sky Reserve to be located in Europe. By visiting Exmoor in North Devon, you will be able to enjoy several astronomical beauties without the need for a telescope, which makes it a perfect astrophotography location in the UK. From Exmoor National Park you will be able to see wonders such as the Orion constellation, the Plough and parts of the Great Bear (Ursa Major) constellation depending on the season. Some of the best Dark Sky locations in Exmoor National Park are Wimbleball Lake, which is a reservoir – great for adding to your astrophotography shots – and Holdstone Hill.
Tip 5: Make your Aperture as Wide as Possible
It is generally a good rule of thumb to open your aperture as wide as possible to capture more light, but this depends on the lens(es) that you're shooting with. A different way to say this is that you want your F-stop to be the lowest number possible. In most cases, an F-stop of 1.8-2.8 will be good range for astrophotography. If your lens does not go that low, you will need to set your ISO higher to make up the difference to capture more light.
Isle of Man
The Isle of Man is recognised for having 26 official Dark Sky spots across the island. This is a valued attribute of the rural character and tranquillity of the island, which makes it perfect for astrophotography. Many astronomical sights can be seen with the naked eye here, including the Orion Nebula, the Milky Way and one of the Milky Way's companion galaxies, the Great Andromeda Galaxy, depending on the season. Occasionally you can spot the Northern Lights from the North Eastern coast of the Isle of Man, making it an excellent location for astrophotography.
Tip 6: Control your Shutter to Capture the Stars
Astrophotographers aren't all looking for the same thing: some are looking for star trails, others are looking for pin-prick stars. Depending on your preferences you will need to adjust your shutter speeds to suit the type of photo you are looking for. If you are looking for sharp, clear stars in your photos, keep your shutter speed to 15 seconds or shorter. To make sure you capture enough light to see anything at all, you'll need a lower aperture and higher ISO. If you are looking for star trails, opt for a longer shutter speed; you can start to see star trails at 30-seconds of exposure. This again depends on your aperture, ISO and the direction you're pointing in the sky.
Tip 7: Manual Focus… before you leave the house!
Autofocus systems use light; something there isn't much of when you're taking night sky photos! We recommend turning Auto Focus off on your lens/camera, setting the focus to infinity. Make sure you do this before you get to your location. You don't want to be trying to find the settings in the freezing cold and dark. Then, using Live View and manual focus, set the focus on a bright object such as a star or a light in the distance. These steps, plus using a tripod, should help to ensure you have sharp images.

A Journey of HOPE
Almost four weeks ago, my family began a journey we never saw coming. A journey we never planned. A journey we never dreamed about. That journey started with a diagnosis of cancer
Almost four weeks ago, my family began a journey we never saw coming. A journey we never planned. A journey we never dreamed about. That journey started with a diagnosis of cancer
The internet is a part of my life, a waaay too big part of my life sometimes. Here's a funny look at being without the internet for 6 whole days

There are some things we can blame on teenage hormones and then there are times when attitudes and actions need to become an accountability issue. Day in and day out, I watch as teenagers become more disrespectful, rude, irate, belligerent, unruly, manipulative, and self-absorbed. When do we stop blaming their actions on teenage hormones and…… Continue reading My One Minute Mind – Generation Z – When is Enough, Enough?

Videogame Development in the Middle East: Iran, the Arab World, and Beyond
Vit Sisler, 24 Jul 2013
Despite the considerable resources that the United States has dedicated to combating jihadi terrorism since the attacks of September 11, 2001, its primary terrorist enemy, al-Qaeda, has mutated and grown more dangerous. Al-Qaeda today is no longer best conceived of as an organization, a network, or even a network-of-networks. Rather, by leveraging new information and communication technologies, al-Qaeda has transformed itself into an organic social movement, making its virulent ideology accessible to anyone with a computer.

My deep front porch is made for rainy days. With the gentle storms of the past few days, we sit at our picnic table in the corner of the porch and watch the bird feeder.
Tonight's Menu, recipes can be found elsewhere on this blog:
Green Bean Soup with Scallion Butter: most would think of this as baby food, a rustic puree of green beans cooked with sauteed onions and chicken broth. I make it mostly for myself, although the family will eat small bites and declare it's delicious. It's nourishing and just made for rainy days.
Chicken Slaw: I used up the CSA cabbage and made a giant bowl of this addictive slaw. Dear husband took the last of the shredded chicken and made chicken salad sandwiches with pickle relish for the girls.

A busy start to 2016 for Lake City FFA club
As usual, the members of the Lake City FFA have been hard at it since the new year has started.
Before we left for Christmas break, two members attended the region greenhand camp in Stewartville. Jacob Penning and Mackenzie Randall spent three days with other members from around the region learning about the FFA organization and making new friends. They brought back lots of ideas to the chapter and are looking forward to becoming more involved in the organization.

After an overnight in Carlisle we set out for Scotland on Saturday morning, crossing the border by following the A7 Historic Route to Edinburgh. Shortly thereafter we stopped at a wayside to read a plaque and let the girls skip stones across a fast-flowing stream. We wound our way toward Edinburgh, watching sheep dogs work their flocks into shape and admiring the scenery. We only gave the city itself a few glances as we crossed the Forth Road Bridge over the Firth of Forth because we were headed to St. Andrews and, ultimately, a bed in Inverness that night.
I'd been to St. Andrews before, on a cold blustery day 30 years ago and had virtually had the town to myself. I had walked the 17th and 18th holes of the Old Course and visited the ruins of the old town's castle and original cathedral. I had stood on a cliff overlooking the North Sea has the waves pounded the rocks below and the wind chapped my face before I returned to my senses and realized I had been standing there for 40 minutes, hypnotized. This day, however, was a "soft" day, sunny, cool and, of course, windy. The occasional shower blew over us as we parked at the Old Course and walked up the 18th hole, and then turned toward the castle and the sea to retrace the steps I had made so long ago, this time able to show the sights to my children.
We left St. Andrews at 6 p.m. and made for Inverness, climbing and turning through the Highlands where the low clouds coddled the tops of the hills and the rain came more steadily. Finally we descended into the valley to Inverness, the sky still light at 9 p.m., making the greens of the hills and the grays of the town appear even richer in the gloaming.
Over the next couple of days we would visit Loch Ness (where one canny Scot, a bagpiper, had positioned himself in full regalia at one of the most scenic overlooks to play his pipes and pose for pictures – and accept tips), Urquhart Castle, and enjoy the rugged beauty of Inverness before venturing south again to Stirling Castle, built by another Stewart – James V, for his queen, Mary Guise. Nice place.

You've heard of the placebo effect right? When people are given a pill that does nothing, but they're told that it'll relieve pain, they feel less pain. It's the power of suggestion and the same holds true at work. Simply by suggesting that your employees are superstars, they're more likely to behave like superstars.
There's a book called "Get Anyone To Do Anything," and it highlights a study in which assembly-line workers were told their job was difficult. As a result, they performed poorly. But when workers were told the job was easy, productivity shot through the roof.
You can even make it more personal. In one experiment, two equally skilled workers were given nicknames, one was Flounder, the other was Falcon. I let you guess which employee performed better. And often, managers unknowingly set people up for failure. They'll hire someone and tell them, "It's not gonna be easy, and the hours are long." That person is now primed to feel like the job will be absolutely drudgery, and they'll have a harder time with it.
So the experts suggest, instead of predicting difficulty and stress, set a positive expectation. Tell them, "I know you can handle this easily and we're going to work well together." If you do that, the employee will believe you, you'll get along better, and their confidence will lead to higher productivity.
And this goes beyond the workplace. Try this mental technique on your kids, your volunteer group or your husband. If you say, "This road trip is going to be a nightmare." Guess what, it will turn out to be a nightmare. So if you want a positive outcome, set a positive expectation.


text: (Bloomberg Opinion) -- Yes, things are bad. No, it's not a coup. And yes, there's a threat to democracy, but it's coming from the president, not his administration's efforts to deal with him..This all comes up because of the anecdotes in Bob Woodward's new book about the Donald Trump administration detailing efforts of senior White House staff and executive-branch personnel to subvert Trump's plans — even to the point of removing items from his desk — along with an anonymous New York Times op-ed by a "senior official in the Trump administration" claiming that "adults in the room" have "gone to great lengths to keep bad decisions contained to the West Wing." .Jamelle Bouie makes the case that this is similar to previous breakdowns in the constitutional order during Woodrow Wilson's severe illness and Richard Nixon's final days in office. Others go further, talking about the situation as a sort of "coup." .This strikes me as seriously wrong (see also this good Twitter thread from an expert on coups). Trump remains in office. He retains all of his statutory and constitutional powers. He's just … well, he's just too inept to know how to use them. That's certainly dangerous, but the dangers are those of what Ross Douthat correctly calls Trump's weakness. .In fact, executive-branch officials ignoring presidential directives is nothing new. I'll haul out my favorite quote on the subject, relayed to Richard Neustadt from someone in the Franklin Roosevelt administration:.Half of a President's suggestions, which theoretically carry the weight of orders, can be safely forgotten by a Cabinet member. And if the President asks about a suggestion a second time, he can be told that it is being investigated. If he asks a third time, a wise Cabinet officer will give him at least part of what he suggests, but only occasionally, except about the most important matters, do Presidents ever get around to asking three times..Swiping stuff from the president's desk is a fairly extreme version of this. But it's also a tactic that would be utterly ineffective against a president with any serious intent to follow through on what he says. Indeed, we have plenty of examples from normal administrations of White House staff treating at least some of the things presidents say as the equivalent of blowing off steam. But what we're hearing about in these Trump stories is sort of a radical version of standard operating procedure for White House staff and the executive branch when faced with a president who is utterly unfit for the job. .As I said: That's no coup, but it's certainly not good. There are all sorts of dangers involved — divided and unclear authority; vitally important policy points falling through the cracks; and the basic fact that only the president faces the electoral incentives and has the representational relationship with his or her constituents that combine to help produce good public policy. And it's not just that Trump frequently lashes out with radically undemocratic statements (such as, on Wednesday, demanding that "the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!"). Or that Trump might actually try to follow through on some of his authoritarian pronouncements and learn how to get the executive branch to go along. .What's really scary is that Trump's ineptitude at his job means that the normal constraints that keep presidents from doing terrible things may simply not apply. Normal presidents care about their professional reputation among those they work with, and about their popularity among the nation at large, and so they attempt to do the sorts of things that would enhance their reputations and make voters like them. Because he's unable to even try to do those things — because he has apparently has no sense at all of how the job works — Trump doesn't see the clear warning signs and then back off things that damage himself and the nation..Or, as my Bloomberg Opinion colleague Timothy L. O'Brien puts it, "he generally doesn't care about the long-term damage he might inflict on himself or those around him as long as he's the center of attention." That's truly scary because the entire political system, as those who have read Federalist 51 will recognize, depends on politicians who care deeply about avoiding damage to themselves. .Whether anything can be done about all of this is a more complicated question. Several people have suggested that instead of manipulating the president, staff should resign. It's probably true that significant resignations would further damage Trump's presidency, so that's a reasonable suggestion; on the other hand, there's probably something to the idea that at least a select few folks in the administration have prevented horrific damage by knowing how to distract the president..At any rate, no one should fool themselves into thinking that replacements would simply do what the president wants — resisting obviously foolish presidential edicts is something that all White House staff and cabinet secretaries do. And most of them try to manipulate policy in the direction they prefer. .1. Sarah Binder on the Brett Kavanaugh hearings..2. Kevin Cope and Joshua Fischman at the Monkey Cage crunch the numbers on just how conservative Kavanaugh is..3. NBC's list of the 10 governor's seats most likely to switch parties. The opposite of the Senate situation: Republicans have many very vulnerable seats, and Democrats will likely pick up several. .4. Reid Wilson sees more signs of a good Democratic year in the midterms. .5. Aaron Blake highlights two anecdotes from the Woodward book. .6. And my Bloomberg Opinion colleague Tyler Cowen on information. .To contact the editor responsible for this story: Brooke Sample at email@example.com column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners..Jonathan Bernstein is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering politics and policy.

I had the pleasure of photographing Geneva College's Musical Theatre Camp this year. Students from all over the area came together to work with directors, vocal coaches, and choreographers from all over. They spent two hard weeks beating together some incredible numbers, and had a blast doing it! They really pulled together some amazing performances in such a short amount of time!

Started out this season with a beautiful senior session!
Posted on October 13, 2016
This past August featured the latest installment of the Superweek legacy. Jen and Cory Miller, two incredible people have been heading up a community outreach summer program for kids in Midland, Pennsylvania since 2010. They had a great turnout from the get-go, starting with 76 campers and 36 volunteer workers. The days are filled with games and food, and the overwhelming love of God. Throughout the years, word spread and involvement in the camp grew steadily. Eventually, in conjunction with Four Mile Church, The Center opened. It became a flourishing community center in Midland, run by the very same Jen and Cory, and opened its doors to the town. They have grown immensely. Student ministries during the week, bike workshops, music and art lessons, food and clothing banks, adult ministries and classes, field trips, a childcare, and the list goes on and on. The Center has become a home to the community. The love shown for this town was revealed in this year's Superweek. 7 years later, the camp has grown to 174 campers, with 42 volunteers. Every year it expands and grows, and the children and families grow with them. Just take a look, the photos say it all.

Forget cheesy church VBS, forget Presbyterian mumbling. Four Mile Kidz Blast has redefined summer church events. Combining huge family dinners, stories, games and worship, this event has taken over. Families get super excited seeing the event banners go up on the roadside, and registration explodes. It's all they can talk about. Water games, the story of God, wholesome excellently cooked meals, and a full live worship band, what better way to spend the early summer evenings?
Posted on April 4, 2016
For the past 20 weeks (mostly because we fell behind now and again), a friend of mine from college, an old student turned worship team member, and I have been working on 18 pieces based on Disney movies. **Jordan did not currently finish**cough cough** #collegefreshman haha. The series started from me wanting to do artwork, but to be pushed by doing it as a group. Because let's face it, we tend to bail when we're not being held accountable. It was originally 17 pieces, but then I realized Anastasia was not, indeed, a Disney movie. SO we expanded to 18, choosing the last of our own devices. Being already in my head, I finished with Anastasia. It was a blast seeing how we each interpreted each of the 17 titles, consisting of titles such as Up, Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stitch, and the Black Cauldron (which shamefully, all of us had to find online in one way or the other, since we had no idea what it was…). Now that the series is over, photo season is upon us, and I'm looking forward to upcoming projects. Meanwhile, you can check out my Etsy shop to order prints of any of my reimaginetheears series!

It's officially December. Senior photos wrapped up completely. Here's a look at this year's senior class. Such a fun time photographing these guys!
Posted on August 25, 2015
I met these two through our young adults group at Four Mile Church. It was crazy because it's a small community, and I'd never met these guys before. But we all soon became great friends, and I was thrilled when I was asked to be their photographer. They are such loving, such gracious, such absolutely fun people. Needless to say, this wedding was a blast!

The National Transportation Safety Board has issued three safety recommendations calling upon industry to install crash-resistant inward- and outward-facing cameras in all rail transit vehicles, saying the cameras would greatly aid in crash investigations.
The recommendations, issued to the Federal Transit Administration and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority call for recorders with a minimum of 12-hour continuous-recording capability that can verify crew actions and train operating conditions. The NTSB says the recorders must be easily accessible to review, with appropriate limitations on public release, for accident investigation and as a tool to improve operational safety.
According to the NTSB, in 47 of the 64 rail transit accidents the NTSB investigated between 1976 and 2015, audio and image recorders would have greatly helped in learning what happened by documenting and preserving data describing the actions and conditions leading to an accident.
The NTSB is currently investigating a Feb. 21, 2017, accident in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, where a SEPTA train collided with the rear of a second SEPTA train stopped on a loop track near the 69th Street station. The train was not equipped with forward-facing cameras nor audio or image recorders in the operating cab. In a post-accident interview, the operator of the striking train said he could not remember his actions immediately prior to the collision. The NTSB-recommended recorders would have documented the operator's actions, providing investigators valuable insights to how and why the crash happened.
The NTSB has long advocated the broader use of recorders as a means to improve transportation safety; the issue is currently on the agency's Most Wanted List of transportation safety improvements.

Palestinian Journalist Does Brilliant Job While Being Trolled By Israeli Soldiers
A Palestinian journalist who was being mocked by Israeli soldiers in the middle of a live broadcast, but didn't let the knobheads interrupt her report.
The presenter, Sara al-Adara, was reporting from the West Bank village of Abud, near Hallamish in Samarai, when three soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) walked up behind her.
The morons from the IDF began to strike poses, make gestures, cover her camera and interrupt her as she tried to report on a conflict in the area.
Sara didn't allow the men to distract her and remained unsettled by their childish actions, ignoring their gestures and finished off her report before handing back to the studio.
Israeli news site Nana10, reports that the soldiers were investigated by the IDF after the broadcast and have been warned not to do it again.
The Mirror claim a spokesman for the IDF said that all soliders are well trained in dealing with media and the rude soldiers in question have had the rules 'emphasised' to them again.

It was one year ago – July 13th 2015 – that Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks made their debuts on RAW and – since they were women who could actually wrestle – unlike the useless models that WWE usually hire – fans and the company – called it a revolution*. One year on how has the revolution got on? The answer is mixed to put it mildly.
The revolution started going wrong on its very first night. Let's look at the definition of the word "revolution" :
"Revolution (noun) : The forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favour of a new system".
So who announced the revolution on RAW last year? Stephanie McMahon the daughter of the owner of the company! In effect the establishment of the WWE announced the revolution which is plainly nonsense as revolutions are the overthrow of the establishment! What should have happened was an ex wrestler like Lita should have announced it or just let the three women debut without a ballyhoo. That was the first mistake.
Their next mistake was to merge the three debutants with six of the existing women on the roster and split them into three teams of three. This led to weeks of mind numbingly dull tag matches between various combinations of the teams. Anybody with a knowledge of history would have known that this would be a disaster as it was merely a female version of Vince Russo's disastrous "Gang Wars" of 1997 when the Nation of Domination, Disciples of Apocalypse and Los Boriculas fought in meaningless tag matches. If it didn't work for the men why on earth did WWE think it would work for the women 18 years on? What they should have done is either have Banks, Charlotte and Lynch as "invaders" – a female version of invading forces like the NWO, the Nexus or the Shield – but the problem with that idea was they for obvious reasons can only attack other women which lessens the element of surprise after their debut – or do what I would have done. Say that the women's division is a shambles and needs a reboot strip the then champion Nikki Bella of her title get rid of the title belt and launch a new title** and have a tournament to crown a new champion. Just like WCW did with all their titles in April 2000 when that company was a mess and needed a reboot.
But it didn't happen. And the reason it didn't happen was because of a male ego. Nikki Bella is the girlfriend of John Cena the biggest star in the WWE. But unfortunately as an ex model she is a relic of the WWE's toxic, sexist hiring policy and should have dropped the title. Indeed that was the plan. But unfortunately Cena allegedly lobbied the WWE to let Bella break AJ Lee's record title reign and they accepted. Cena's ego and the WWE's determination to stick it to Lee's ex husband CM Punk meant that Bella kept the title until October's Night of Champions Pay per view – a dreadful mistake.
Even when Bella dropped the title to Charlotte the company still kept messing the women's division up. For some reason best known to themselves the company had Paige mention the death of Charlotte's brother Reid saying "Your brother didn't show much fight did he?" which was crass and offensive to put it mildly. Then at the Royal Rumble in January this year they had Charlotte's legendary father Ric Flair force a kiss on Becky Lynch. Yes they showed sexual assault on TV. Quite how showing an old man forcing a kiss on a young woman ties in with the WWE's family friendly PG rating is a total mystery (they edited the incident out of repeats of the Rumble which tells you all you need to know).
To be fair, at Wrestlemania they almost got it right. They finally produced the new women's belt they should have had back in July and the three women that had made their debuts back in July – Lynch, Banks and Charlotte – had one of the best matches of the night. Pity they had to have Ric Flair interfere to help his daughter gain victory but the match was a credit to women's wrestling and it looked like the WWE were finally getting the women's division right.
Er…they haven't. Since Wrestlemania it has been going backwards again. Women's matches are still far too short and the WWE still have a chronic inability to produce more than one female feud at the same time. For example after losing at Wrestlemania the popular Banks virtually disappeared from TV until the end of last month. This is partly because she suffered a concussion but mainly because WWE wanted to hold back her title bid – presumably to August's SummerSlam – they had nothing for her to do. Imagine John Cena not being on TV because WWE wanted to keep him out of the title scene until August? You can't. Because they wouldn't do that that's why….
It shows how pathetic the WWE is that the fact there are two women's matches on the next WWE pay-per-view Battleground- Becky Lynch v Natalya and Charlotte/Dana Brooke v Banks and a partner of her choice – is eye catching and a sign of progress when it really shouldn't be. The fact is while the WWE women's division has improved since last year it can be said it is only taking the division back to the 2002-4 era where there was Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Jazz, Gail Kim…the women's division should have improved since 2004 but until last year it had actually gone backwards.
Women's wrestling should by all logic be as successful as women's tennis. After all the women wrestle at the same venues as the men – just like women play tennis on the same Grand Slam stage as the men. But thanks to WWE sexism it is more like women's football, rugby , cricket and basketball – regarded by fans as inferior to the real male athletes. A few things I would do are :
Sack the models. The likes of Nikki Bella, Eva Marie, Lana and Maryse must be swept away. Women must be wrestlers – not eye candy or pretty valets for their husbands and boyfriends. Those kind of women should be swept into oblivion.
Scrap Total Divas. Total Divas is a crap reality show on the E channel – think "Keeping up with the Kardashians" only worse. Since the women aren't known as Divas anymore this show must go. If WWE are contractually obliged to produce this garbage pay the E network whatever they want to get this rubbish off our TV. If they want $10 million give them $10 million. You can't put a price on gender equality….
Sign more women. There are plenty of good women wrestlers WWE could sign. Kharma, Candice LeRae, Sexy Star, Ivelise, Cheerleader Melissa, Jessica Havok to name but six. If you want to improve the women's division sign good wrestlers. Its not rocket science!
Treat women the same as men. I don't mean intergender wrestling I mean what Adam Blampied of What Culture said "Book the angle as if it is starring two men. Change their names to Bayley and Sasha Banks***. And you're done"! Simple! So why can't WWE do this? Also have the women in the same stipulation matches as men – a Money in the Bank ladder match, a Last Man Standing Match, a TLC match, even a Hell in the Cell match between two women. Why not?
Oh…and sign Ronda Rousey. You know it makes sense.
There are no excuses. So far it has been more a case of "evolution" rather than "revolution". In fact the so called " revolution" has had all the revolutionary impact of a used teabag. What the WWE should be aiming for if not women main eventing pay-per-views – which has never happened -is for women to co main event pay-per-views. It happens at Wimbledon at the Olympics and at UFC 200 last Sunday. There is no reason why it should not be possible in the WWE. And if it happens then we will be truly able to talk about a revolution.
*WWE called it a "Diva's revolution" but I refuse to use the word "Diva".
**The WWE did introduce a new belt but at Wrestlamania not in July last year. It is a big improvement on that awful pink butterfly belt.
***Or any other women.

for a Free, Confidential, No Obligations Case Evaluation
We are ready to provide you with the insights you need to take the right steps towards compensation and justice. Though we urge you to contact us as soon as you are ready to receive essential information regarding your rights and options, we also invite you to:
- Explore the following for some helpful answers about workers' compensation claims and recoveries.
- Download our free e-book, Workers' Compensation Legal Guide, for additional information.
What Is Workers' Compensation?
The workers' compensation system pays benefits to workers who have developed an occupational illness or who have sustained an injury on the job. The purpose of this system is to provide injured workers with the financial support necessary to seek medical treatment and recover to the extent possible.
As such, workers' compensation can include some combination of the following benefits (depending on the nature of the injuries sustained):
- Medical benefits to cover the hospitalization and/or treatment costs
- Temporary disability benefits when the injury prevents someone from being able to return to work for at least seven days
- Permanent partial disability benefits when the injury causes an irreversible partial impairment (like the loss of digits, appendages, eyes, ears and/or teeth)
- Permanent total disability benefits when the injury causes an irreversible total impairment (which is presumed to have occurred when two "major members" of the body have been permanently disabled)
- Death benefits when the work-related injuries or illness has fatal outcomes.
What Should I Do after a Workplace Accident?
When a work accident or injury occurs:
- Report the incident as soon as possible to a supervisor or any on-site authority – This notification should occur no later than 90 days from the date of the incident. It can be a written or verbal notification.
- Seek medical treatment – Emergency medical treatment should be sought for any life-threatening injuries. If the injuries are not potentially deadly, the worker should request medical treatment from the employer. According to New Jersey workers' compensation law,1 the employer has the right to select the treating physician (and failing to honor this right can result in a nonpayment of medical benefits).
What If I Don't Like the Doctor My Employer Has Sent Me to? What Are My Options?
When an employer fails to refer an injured worker to a medical treatment provider, the injured worker can file a Motion for Medical and/or Temporary Disability Benefits. Specific documents must be submitted – and certain deadlines must be met – to pursue this Motion.
Whenever these Motions are filed, they are prioritized, typically being set to go before a judge within 30 days of the Motion being properly submitted.
How Can a Lawyer Help Me after a Work Accident?
An experienced attorney can be an essential partner and advocate when it is time to recover from a work accident, injury and/or illness. This is primarily due to the facts that a lawyer can:
- Explain the workers' compensation process
- Determine whether injured workers have additional options for financial recovery
- Oversee all court filings and case deadlines
- Represent injured workers throughout their claims, helping them achieve the best possible outcomes.
The bottom line is that, after a work injury, you likely need to focus on treatment and healing. As you focus on your physical recovery, Maggiano, DiGirolamo & Lizzi, P.C. can on your financial recovery and set your case up for success.

How I ventured into the depths of the low-cost real-estate market of Beijing. And survived. "Keyi nong yi nong." "It can be fixed a bit." So said the real-estate agent, as she finally managed to pull the front door open — in the little courtyard, the dead leaves had accumulated into a blanket of near-geological …Read More

A dangerous union: Children of destiny
Organisation: The Express Tribune (Pakistan)
Publication Date: 03/27/2016
DescriptionMy project was about drawbacks of first-cousins marriages in Pakistan. Although, medical experts have continually stressed on the inherent dangers of intermarriages, claiming it increases the risk of birth defects, club feet, metabolic disorders, thalassemia, and other health complications, but in Pakistan, family marriages take place which put the lives and health of upcoming generations at risk. According to findings of the Demographic and Health Survey 2012-13 conducted under the authority of the Ministry of National Health Services, 50% of all marriages in Pakistan are between cousins. However, a study conducted by Dr Muhammad Aslam Khan, founding head of the Human Genetics & Molecular Biology Department at University of Health Sciences, Lahore in 2014, stated nearly 82.5% of parents in Pakistan are blood-relatives of first, second or third generations. Of these, 6.3% hail from the same extended families of castes while 6.8% are immediate cousins. Only about 4.4% of couples in Pakistan are not somehow related to each other. My project addressed the adverse effects of families marriages and it helped in raising awareness among general public about hazardous impacts of intermarriages for the next generations. It was for general public.

TRAINOR FAIRBROOK gaping error, misses crux of source of the Shadow Complaint on the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Respondent Brief. Contrary to Trainor Fairbrook's misstatement for Judge Elfing, the petitioners did submit written comments (mine ~ 6 pages) and speak on February 23, 2009 during the Sunnyvale Planning Commission Hearing.
I spoke specifically about the issue of potential intense shadows on residential properties nearby from the Sunnyvale Palo Alto Medical Foundation building/s. Just how intense they will be is an issue in the PAMF Lawsuit because the Lead Agency would not provide more than a couple illustrations that posed additional questions that went unanswered. The Shadows are precisely a complaint and issue on the PAMF EIR lawsuit.
The respondent brief prepared by Sacramento based Trainor Fairbrook states that on the eve of Feb. 23,2009, during the Planning Commission Public Meeting that "notably, neither petitioner spoke." Absolute rubbish as I drove straight to the meeting from work, missing dinner, and waited my turn to speak about Shadows and "The right to light."
As a matter of fact, I was starving all night long! My friend Dianne gave me a box of licorice cough drops to hold me over through The Sunnyvale Commission Hearing that continued until almost midnight. I had submitted 6 pages of written comments/notes both email both by email and by handing to Trudi Ryan and proceeded to speak for my three minutes until I was told that my time was up.
Surprisingly, this misstatement is the crux of the shadow complaint.

Hainan Island Accommodation & Holidays Guide
China, East Asia
Hainan used to be where clapped-out officials were sent to live out their days. Happily, it's now been reinvented as a place where Chinese tourists, as well as a growing number of foreigners, go for good times, and promoted as 'China's Hawaii'. As the moniker implies, there are some great beaches here where you can enjoy soaking up the sunshine. Hainan has traditionally been very popular with backpackers, but the luxury resorts that have mushroomed there in recent years means it's also a suitable destination for anyone who doesn't want to leave their creature comforts at home.
Hainan Island – Regions or Cities to Visit
Hainan Island Holidays Planner
The busiest tourist area of the island is Sanya. From here, you can enjoy many seaside pursuits, including swimming, snorkelling, cruises and glass-bottomed boat rides. Nanwan Monkey Island is a popular excursion, and home to hundreds of Macaque monkeys, which are an endangered species. Another site of interest is the Betel Nut Ethnic Minorities Park – a rather oddly named attraction where you can find out more about the peoples living on the island, and a rainforest tour centre that tells tourists more about the plants and animals found here. There are plenty of places to stay in nearby Yalong Bay, which has some amazing five-star resorts run by internationally renowned companies.
Highlights and Icons
Haiko is the capital of the island, a laid back city with a temple and the impressive Tomb of Hairu, who was a noted civil servant in the Ming Dynasty period. Haiko is a good place to come to find authentic Chinese food – cuisine is available from many Chinese regions. A nearby park has a spectacular volcanic crater, as well as other notable geographical features. Wuzhishan has fewer tourists than most other towns in Hainan, and has a good local market – it's also the best place jumping-off point for the Wuhzi Mountain, which is a popular site on religious holidays – bear in mind that you'll need to be reasonably fit in order to climb it

Nukan Kungun Hike – Salt Creek to 42 Mile Crossing is a 25km, grade 1 Return hike located in Coorong National Park South Australia. The hike should take approximately 2 days to complete.
Nukan Kungun Hike is a 25km trail through the Coorong National Park. Starting from Salt Creek it links some of the more popular trails in the park, concluding at the 42 Mile Crossing campground.
From the campground you may continue over the sand dunes to the ocean beach, a further 1.3km.
Secluded bush campsites are dotted along the trail.
Nakun Kungun, pronounced Nackan Koon-nun', is Ngarrindjeri for Looking and Listening'. The trail passes through several different plant communities including mallee woodlands, tall tea-tree shrublands and spinifex grasslands. It also passes numerous ephemeral sale lakes. Encounters with wildlife, particularly kangaroos, wombats and emus are common. If you are lucky you may even see an endangered malleefowl.
Suggested walk is to start at Salt Creek and walk one day (25km) south to camp at 42 Mile Crossing. After setting up camp, walk over the sand dunes to the coast. On the second day, return to Salt Creek. The walk could also be done one-way by using as car shuffle.

In case any one's interested, I converted Famous 0.3 from AMD-CommonJS hybrid to CommonJS. I did this because I've ported my personal site from a Node/express+JSPM setup to Meteor+Webpack, and Meteor's new module system only supports ES2015 Modules and CommonJS, and I didn't want to write some parts of my old experiments, so the conversion makes Famous 0.3 compatible in Meteor's module system. I'm remaking the main part of my site with my prototype. I'll post that soon!
Famous 0.3, AMD to CommonJS
Thanks Joe. I will be needing this in the near future (could use it now!) as I am creating my own modules to be shared between a node instance and the browser+famous.
However, I would really love to convert the famous 0.3.5 build environment (requirejs seed), to work with commomJS modules as well, i.e. replacing AMD and Almond. Any pointers or resource links on how to do this without breaking the remaining CI features on the seed?
I am a relative noob to JS and its support tools, so any help is greatly appreciated!
@dwardoh Where's the requirejs seed? Is it this one?
Take a look at how the build system is here (you may have to read Webpack docs to understand it better). Then, I'd suggest for you to do something similar to that (using Webpack, but you can also use Browserify). I also have a webpack-based npm-package skeleton. You could adopt that, and then run
npm run build in order to build your app. It includes ES6/7 via Babel.
In your package.json you can list the
famous dependency like this:
"famous": "trusktr/famous#commonjs"
so that when you run
npm install in your project it will get my CommonJS version.
Let me know if you have any questions! :}
@trusktr Thanks so much for your response! Yes that is the one I am using. Ideally I'd like to convert that to use commonJS modules.
Thanks also for your two build skeleton links. I intend to learn and use webpack some day for my project, these are a great start. Any idea when npm will support ES2015 modules directly?
That I don't know.
You're best bet right now is to use Webpack or Browserify (as CommonJS isn't RequireJS-friendly, and you may as well stick with the AMD version of Famous in that case).
I'd say start from scratch (perhaps learning what you can from the skeletons).
Another option could be to use the browserify-seed, which you can then add ES2015 support to. You'd have to add the babelify transform to it, so that it can use Babel to handle ES2015+ language features (including ES6 module syntax). You would then have to replace the dependency of
famous to point to my repo, and remove the
famousify transform, as that is designed for the AMD version of Famous.
Whichever path you choose, it'll involve some work and getting familiar with Webpack or Browserify (personally I'd recommend Webpack, and I think that'll be the easier path). There isn't really a single-step solution. If you need some help with it, just let me know after you've tried and reached a road block. I'm happy to help. :}
@trusktr , fyi …
Regarding our prior discussion on JS dev stacks, you might be interested in this tool I just discovered for abstracting the creation of a JS development stack under a single CLI. It's called kotatsu. Looks promising.
– Edward
Hello Edward, thanks for sharing! :] That's a nice tool built on Webpack. It could definitely be useful!

When Berlin travels to Albury-Wodonga to track down the gang behind the robberies, he suspects he's a problem cop being set up to fail. Taking a room at the Diggers Rest Hotel in Wodonga, he sets about solving a case that no one else can - with the help of feisty, ambitious journalist Rebecca Green and rookie constable Rob Roberts, the only cop in town he can trust. Then the decapitated body of a young girl turns up in a back alley, and Berlin's investigations lead him ever further through layers of small-town fears, secrets and despair.
