Apply a science-based approach to growth and development
The One Big Thing Program offers a proven path to improvement and growth. It equips people to stretch, grow and thrive by 'breaking free' of the day-to-day habits that limit performance.
Too many people are merely coping or just surviving, and demands and expectations keep rising—with no end in sight. We might know we need to 'step up our game' but doing it is entirely another thing. The issue: despite knowing what we want to do, we still don't do it. Despite the endless stream of remedies, answers and solutions, we remain 'stuck' in old familiar ways. We are wed to the status quo and immune to change. And it all has to do with habits.
Each of us are a bundle of habits. In 2017 Kevin Ochsner, PhD, Columbia University, reported that 70-90% of our daily behaviors are habits. This is why change is so tough. How tough? A recent medical study showed that, even when seriously at-risk heart patients wanted to change their lifestyle to continue living, only one in seven patients were successful—proving again that old habits die hard. If death isn't a sufficient motivation for change, what hope do the rest of us have of improving?
The science of habit formation does offer hope. We can now design new habits. INSEAD (consistently ranked among the world's top business schools) credits Harvard University Professors Kegan and Lahey with 'cracking the code' on how to rewire the habits which keep us stuck.
At the heart of the MindShift Approach is the Harvard model by Kegan and Lahey. In the One Big Thing Program we have coupled the MindShift Approach with emerging research from Neuroscience and Systems Thinking. MindShift enables people to start living in alignment with where they want to go and who they want to be
This program is unlike other programs. Rather than listen to the experts and leave with more glossy course materials to add to your 'vinyl trophy case,' you learn the approach by applying it directly in your life.
Here's how it works. A leadership team, or a group of leaders, follow these 3 steps over 6-9 months:
We support you in defining how you want to improve. Sometimes we start with what's not working. Other times we use an assessment tool. Either way you arrive at an improvement goal that is a genuine stretch for you. As we do this, we also link your goal to a bigger picture of meaning and significance. For executive teams this often coalesces into a shared vision for organizational improvement.
Once a stretch goal has been identified, the traditional approach is to then play the disempowering game to 'run to the expert'. Pay them to give you the expert answers, or tell you what to think and what to do.
We take the opposite approach. We bring questions. Questions all about you. It starts with identifying how you get in your own way. We then 'drill down' into the mindset to understand the root cause of these habits. Simple idea but complex to do.
The brilliance of Harvard Professors Kegan and Lahey's practical framework is that it makes visible the invisible forces of the mindset. You discover triggers and blind spots that throw you off your game. You not only see how you get in your own way and resist change, but most importantly, you discover why you do it.
But insight alone is not enough. Why? Because even though the root-cause mindset has been seen—it has not yet changed. This is the purpose of the third step in the approach and is why we guarantee we can accelerate change and improvement
This is heart of the work. We turned the light bulbs on in Step 2, but what happens in Step 3 keeps the lights on. It consists of a series of carefully designed exercises to deactivate old habits. By applying the exercises participants progressively disrupt the root cause mindset and overturn the habits that previously blocked them from improving. Over time old habits are deactivated and new neuropathways created. Participants adopt new, more productive behaviors and a mindset which is aligned with their stretch goal. In short, the One Big Thing Program equips people to change from the inside out.
Our team of MindShift coaches ensure you accurately map the mindset. They become your thinking partners as you apply the exercises to rewire your thinking. Each has trained with the Professors Kegan and Lahey.
The evidence is clear: your odds of successfully changing habits go up dramatically when you participate as part of a group. This program is equivalent to a week-long University Executive Program but with an important difference: rather than consecutive days, it's only a few hours each month. Participants come together monthly to review progress, share successes, and consolidate learning.
Transforming a mindset is a complex task. These application exercises guide you in applying the habit-change research in a practical and meaningful way in your daily life. Each of the 12 exercises address a different dimension of habit change. The academic rigor that has gone into creating the Harvard-based framework is the brand-standard in the field of Adult Development.
When partnered with a community of learners from your workplace, a communal experience is created which offers encouragement, support and feedback that is otherwise not available when working alone. The network also provides a mechanism to sustain and deepen the work long after the formal program is completed.
We use a 360-degree feedback tools which integrates leading research from the fields of Leadership, Psychology, and Adult Development, and is thoroughly and independently validated. We record a baseline for change with a custom, 10-minute Habit Change Survey. This survey is repeatedly pulsed to measure and track change over time.
Although each participant experiences unique benefits, over the years graduate exit interviews* reveal the following themes:
- Greater presence and composure under pressure
- Enhanced relational connection and collaboration
- Greater empathy, understanding and patience
- More coaching and mentoring conversations
- Higher levels of creativity and innovation ("See possibilities in situations that previously seemed like a no win")
- Greater levels of overall fulfillment and well-being
*videos are available upon request
The benefits extend beyond the individual. Together, people learn a language and new habits to challenge and support each other to improve, change and stretch. Deeper, more trusting relationships form. In the end, the organization gains a more engaged, resilient and emotionally intelligent workplace.
The MindShift Approach is entirely novel but thoroughly road-tested. It has been applied in a wide diversity of organizations: a national railway in Europe, an international financial services company, one of America's most admired technology companies, and in the world's leading international strategy consulting firm.

Green card USA: what is, how to win and get the citizen of the Russian Federation - the lottery
Especially for those who would like to live and work in the US, there is a green card is an important document, giving the opportunity to legally earn a living while in the country. To become a resident, you need to know how to get a green card USA citizen of the Russian Federation.

Green card in USA
Often and quite rightly a green card compared to the"residence permit" or the main "document for permanent residence", which provides certain privileges to its owner, but also requires a strict order and observance of certain duties.
This is what it looks like?
Green card – an official document giving the holder 100% chance to freely enter the territory of the United States, to find a job or get an education, take out a loan just to live, and after five years apply for citizenship.
But to change the status of "immigrant" to "resident", you first have to prove that a permanent human presence will benefit the state.
Initially, a green card looked like an ordinary sheet of paper on which were noted all the most important information, but in connection with frequent cases of forgery, it was decided to remake it. Now a green card looks like a plastic paper, reminiscent of the ID-card. The final design was formed in 2010 and she really has a green hue on the surface of the personal details, period of stay, fingerprints and photos.
The ancestor of the modern plastic ID cards has become a form AR-3 (Alien Registration) is a document, which appeared in 1940.
By law, every alien was obliged to have registration. In order to get it, had to fill in a postal questionnaire, which is then sent to the service for immigration and naturalization.
After processing this document back mail delivered ready prototype for a green card.
Benefits, rights and obligations of the holders of
Obtaining a green card – a great chance to benefit from many advantages while in the USA. Thus, while the benefits offered by this document are quite identical to those received by citizens. The only rights that will not be available to immigrants – the ability to vote or hold management positions at work.
This document gives the owner the following advantages:
- To obtain discount to pay for the education in the country;
- To take the credit loans from banks on preferential terms;
- Some times travel to and from the country;
- Transport in USA wife and children;
- To apply for any job vacancies;
- To pay taxes on more gentle percent;
- High chance to apply for US citizenship.
Read more in our article, how and how much to fly to the main American cultural and economic center of new York.
On this basis, in the duties of the holder of the Green card includes the payment of taxes, including income, including salary money and other methods of their production. Also have to get up for military service, if the immigrant is male aged 18 to 26 years.
It is important to remember this caveat, as the duration of stay – country not allowed to leave for a period of more than six months. Otherwise, the United States Department may consider the continued presence meaningless.
As practice shows, immigrant status is simply cancelled. In order to avoid this, it is essential to comply with the laws, in particular, not to spoil the life of others, while drunk or start fights. In the event if they violated the laws set for the owner of the document, the person will be immediately deported with no right of return.
In addition, it is important to remember that in different States there are different and sometimes the most unusual laws. For thisthe reason it is important to read them in order not to violate the entrusted obligation.
Methods of obtaining
For residents of Russia , there are many ways to obtain the coveted permission to enter – many of them quite easy, but it will have to comply with the formalities.
To US territory is the archipelago of the Hawaiian Islands. Read herewhere this piece of Paradise.
Family reunification
If the citizen of the Russian Federation wishing to obtain a Green Card, there are close relativesliving in the U.S., such as parents, spouses, brothers, sisters or children under 21 years, this is the reason for applying for this document. But in some circumstances this method can not 100% guarantee a positive result.
Marriage to a U.S. citizen
In the USA there are several types of immigration cards – unconditional – documents, giving you the opportunity to stay in its territory for 5-10 years, and conditional – temporary, which are issued for a period of two years for those who enter into marriage with a citizen of the United States. If at the expiration of the term marriage falls apart, from the status of "conditional" residence permit becomes "unconditional".
The employees of the immigration service will check the marriage to its fictitious nature, and before issuing a green card will have to pass the interview.
The staff has learned to easily distinguish real from fictitious relationship, so necessarily will require photographs showing the existence of family life, as well as Bank statements, documents for the joint estate.
If all goes well, the bride/groom will receive a complete package of all the important immigration documents. The resulting package can not be opened, and all materials inside the letter should be referred to the authorities of the United States upon arrival in the country.
This method of obtaining a green card running less often because it is believed that it is used by those who are no longer going to return home for one of the reasons that threaten the life and health of:
- Political or religious views;
- Racial characteristics;
- Sexual orientation.
Going to the USA by plane, it is important that you feel comfortable in flight, so try to take in hand Luggage as much as possible. And here you will know the baggage allowance.
To obtain a green card will have to prove that the refugee's life is really in danger. Perhaps for such purposes will need to find competent counsel, and that there will be additional costs. Especially often this method is resorted to by those who live in areas where there is frequent fighting.
Employment and business
Official employment in the United States is one of the most popular ways to obtain a residence permit. The document is issued only to highly skilled specialists, the knowledge which the country needs.
Do not have to have a degree and higher education, it is important to prove that high professional experience, vast knowledge and desire to share fully meet the expectations.
The most popular specialties are considered statistics, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, military science, scientific engineering and Biomedicine. Of course, to obtain a U.S. green card to get a job as a waiter or a maid, it will not be possible. If the employer is willing to take the citizen of the Russian Federation to work, it needs to act as the guarantor, which will employ the prospective employee and assist him move.
Investing in the economy of the country
If your financial capabilities enable you to invest in the US economy sums from 500 thousand to a million dollars, it will allow you to purchase a green card. It is considered the most simple and easy, and get the long awaited permission to enter almost immediately.
A great option is to enroll in a prestigious specialty in one of the famous Universities in the United States. This will allow not only to obtain a green card, but also at the end of education is to interest the employer and extend an existing document.
On the border of USA and Canada is one of the most famous waterfalls in the world. Read about it and other water giants in this article.
The easiest way to obtain a green card is to participate in a free lottery. Every year the U.S. state Department is satisfied with the draw 50,000 documents permitting an immigrant. The main reason why there is such method – the need for influx of people.
The lottery is held in several stages:
- Registration on the website of the Department of the United States;
- Preparation of the questionnairein electronic form;
- Issuing unique numbers (note);
- The choice of a computer 100 000 random questionnaires;
- An interview with each of the winning participant;
- The selection of only half of them all won.
This method has its drawbacks, one of which registration should be for a year and a half before the draw and reaction to the victory has to be immediate.
Requirements for candidates is quite simple. The lottery allowed the inhabitants of the countries from which immigrated more than 50,000 people over the five-year period. Priority is given to the citizens, fellow citizens whom already live in the US, but in insufficient number. From year to year this list changes, so it is better to check it on the website.
In addition, mandatory requirements are: two years of experience and a high school education, and criminal record and proof of mental health.
Application form for lottery fully electronic documents for its completion is not required in addition to photos. It is important to know that even a slight deviation from the established form will be deprived of the chance to win, so each field should be filled in carefully and without haste: name, date of birth, gender, place of birth, country of birth, contact details and marital status.
For anybody not a secret that USA is the best amusement Park is Disneyland, but not everyone knows that there's two of them. Read this article about these fabulous places.
Particularly stringent requirements apply to the photos:
- Picture size 600x600 px and only in the format .jpg;
- The background behind should be only light, but it is forbidden to make pictures of a window or bright wall;
- Forbidden to retouch or alter a photo;
- The man in the picture should not be headdress, military uniforms and religious apparel;
- Facial expression should be neutral – not to smile.
After filling out the questionnaire to participate in the lottery each is assigned a unique numberthat you want to record. The US state Department does not send letters of victory, so only using it in the tab Entry Status Check, you will be sure to see if it worked to win.
If you managed to win, the subsequent sequence of actions will be:
- To visit the U.S. Embassy;
- Pass the interview;
- To pay the application fee in the amount of 435$;
- To go to the country and pay the USCIS immigrant fee of 165$.
At the same time, separately paid medical exam, which you can get at the hospital at the Embassy.
In the interview officials must assessthe health status of the candidate's financial situation, membership in prohibited groups, and the criminal and criminal past.
The collection of documents
To successfully pass the interview have to be puzzled by the gathering of an impressive package of important documents. Is in advance (recommended for 1.5 weeks) to send scanned versions by mail. This will allow officials to prepare for the meeting and reduce the time for admission decisions.
What papers will you need?
If we consider in more detail the full range of documents that may be required to obtain a green card, the list will be quite large. To get started is to fill out a form on the website, and then print it.
Did you know that new York subway is the largest in the world? Read more about this read in this article.
To meet with representatives of the Consulate you will need:
- The foreign and internal passport;
- Birth certificate;
- Marriage certificate and the paper about the name change;
- Police certificate from all places of residence;
- Extracts from judicial decisions;
- Military ID;
- Documents confirming secondary and higher education;
- Photos – 2 visa (50x50 mm) and 5 for medical examination (30x40 mm);
- The results of the medical examination;
- Employment history;
- Documents proving financial independence.
Ready green card received in 5 days after interview.
Additional documents can be: a job and various papers proving the relationship.
To the list of financial documents include sponsorship letter, an extract from the personal account, the assessment of private property and guaranteed the availability of work in the United States.
The failure in obtaining
The reasons for failure are many. One of them may be an attempt to draw the profiles on the site two times from a single party, especially if one was filled out by the applicant himself and the second his cousin. Also the ban on visa for improper filling out the questionnaire on the website, a clear fraud, incorrect data and incorrect pictures.
Thus,there are many ways to obtain a green card for citizens of the Russian Federation – all you need is to choose the most optimal and convenient option, and then correctly fill in all documents and pass an interview.

Apple Valley MinneApple Debate
2018 — Apple Valley, MN/US
Text of message:
It is almost upon us! We look forward to welcoming you all to our tournament tomorrow. Before you arrive I have a few last minute updates and reminders for you. Please take a minute to look over this information.
Online registration is now enabled. If you do not have any entry or judges changes, and you do not owe any money, you may register online without coming to in-person registration tomorrow. Please check Tabroom tonight and look over your invoice. If you have a balance, even if you think you shouldn't, you must come to registration. If you notice any problems with your invoice please let me know ASAP.
Renovation of AVHS
Over the last couple of years, Apple Valley High School has undergone an extensive remodel and expansion, which is almost finished. For those of you have been to the tournament before, it may be a bit disorienting. Every single room has been renamed/renumbered and there a lot of new rooms and spaces around the building. To help out, I have posted maps of each building to our Tabroom website. Additionally, there is still some work being done here and there, so we ask that you please not enter any area that is roped off or touch anything that seems to be a work in progress. For example, there is a large staircase in the center of the main wing that looks finished... but it definitely is not.
Event Locations
Apple Valley High School - VLD and JVLD
Falcon Ridge Middle School - VPF and Congress
Scott Highlands Middle School - NPF and NLD
For elimination rounds, NPF will be shuttled to FRMS and NLD will be shuttled to AVHS.
Speaking of shuttles… Remember that shuttles will take students from AVHS to their event site on Friday at 3pm, and will take Novice students from Scott Highlands to the elim sites on Saturday afternoon. However, we will not provide shuttles back to AVHS on Friday night, or from AVHS to the event sites on Saturday morning.
Online Balloting and Internet Access
Our goal is for every judge at the tournament to use online ballots. Please help us with this by ensuring your judges have created and linked Tabroom accounts. If your judges require assistance, please send them to the tab table at their event site. We will have people assigned to help judges get this done. Of course, if your judges do not feel comfortable paper ballots will be available. This is usually not an issue in the varsity divisions, but there are always a handful of paper ballots in JV/Novice.

REhabilitation TRAINing (ReTrain) is a stroke rehabilitation project looking to improve the quality of life of long-term stroke survivors. It is an exercise rehabilitation programme that has been developed based on expert guidelines and an approach called ARNI (Action for Rehabilitation from Neurological Injury), involving techniques and strategies to help patients readjust to the consequences of their stroke and regain participation in the community. The idea for the research originally came from a stroke survivor and stroke survivors have been heavily involved in the development of the project.

MuSR /
Introduction to µSR
µSR is a condensed matter experimental technique that measures internal magnetic fields inside matter by means of the spin precession of implanted polarized muons. The muon is an unstable elementary particle. It is produced above a certain threshold energy by protons impinging on solid targets. Muons can be selected with 100% spin polarization along the beam axis and stopped inside the material that one wishes to investigate.
The muon decays emitting a positron preferentially in the direction of its spin. Thus the muon spin precession is seen as an oscillations in the positron count rates in a fixed detector. The frequency of this oscillation measures the internal field, for instance that due to surrounding ordered magnetic moments in an antiferromagnet.
The wiki index is just below, but if you want a really simple account of µSR watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4iSqS1rEX8 and if you want to catch a glimpse of the ISIS Muon Training Schools watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5ydGCg4ZsM

And being a parent comes with a whole truck load of responsibilities. Responsibilities that I can never imagined.
When I got pregnant, I was anxious about Ziv in my tummy, especially his development.
When he came out of my tummy, I was anxious about his physical and mental developments.
When he starts going to school, I get anxious about his adaptability.
And sometimes, you find yourself in a pickle whereby you lost for words for incident like this.
The thing is Ziv has a classmate (gal) 'M' (for monster), she bit Ziv whenever she failed to snatch toys from him. To make the matter worse, Monster-Sore-Loser M did it twice! Damn! The first time I was pretty OK with it because there bound to be commotions when kids get-together. But the second time was a tad overboard. So I asked myself, "Do I want my son to be bullied or to be a bully?" or "Should I tell Ziv to beat M?"
I am apprehensive that he will turn out to be a disesteem bully that everyone loathes later on in his life if I tell him to hit M back. A young kid does not know where is the limit and telling him to hit M may cultivate the little bully in him. However, it is heart-trending to see teeth marks on his delicate tiny arm. I gave up thinking for a solution for this tricky situation.
However when Kevin cheekily told Ziv to hit M, he replied firmly,"NO!" He seemed to know the that beating others is wrong.
Maybe the dilemma is now resolved with Ziv's reply and I believed the boy resembles his Daddy more than anyone else. And definitely not me!
Sometimes I do hope that he can have part of my character so that he is able to protect himself in the future.

Football fans in Rhode Island will be pleased to know that the state is on target to release mobile sports betting by the start of the official football season.
Speaking on behalf of the Rhode Island Department of Revenue, the authority's chief of information and public relations, Paul Grimaldi reassured the public that no new regulations will be required before the long-awaited mobile launch.
"The regulations for sports betting have been in place since prior to launch of the in-person sportsbook in November 2018," he said. "Sports betting is considered to be a form of Class III gaming that was previously approved by Rhode Island voters. Regulations for it fell under the existing protocols."
At present, Rhode Islanders can place bets at land-based bookmakers located at the Tiverton Casino Hotel or the Twin River Casino Hotel. Last football season, many stood for hours just to place a bet, thanks to the huge popularity of this pastime.
This time around, Rhode Island expects to have its mobile industry up and running in time. Although players are required to perform an initial in-person registration at one of the two casinos, they will thereafter be free to bet using mobile sports apps from anywhere they are, provided that they are within state lines.
Two mobile apps (one from the Tiverton and the other from Twin River Casino Hotel) will be available to players. Before the mobile apps go live, Rhode Island will perform what Grimaldi calls "simulated testing and account settling." The period before the football season will see multiple test bets being placed to simulate a busy betting season.
The state hopes that mobile betting will be the boost that the industry needs to reach at least part of the lofty goals set last fiscal year. It was expected that sports betting would bring in $11.5 million by the end of this fiscal year, but the industry has managed to generate much less – some $3.9 million.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: »Così fan tutte« KV 588 (concertante)
The last of the operas created during Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's partnership with the librettist Da Ponte, which experienced its world premiere in Vienna in 1790, is a bitingly sarcastic story of partner-swapping and partner deception between two couples. A simple bet is all that is needed to shake moral convictions, to sow doubt about feelings thought to be secure and to reveal the abyss of human character. Ultimately, the dream of eternal love and faithfulness threatens to crash on the rocks of reality. And what does Teodor Currentzis do with this? Opulent, vibrant theatre with intoxicating sounds, emotional drive, dynamic contrasts and passionate commitment! His recording that was released in 2015 was euphorically praised by critics and declared to be a new reference recording. It is no surprise as the Greek star conductor and his MusicAeterna Orchestra and the choir of the Perm Opera carry along listeners with their richly coloured and tension-filled interpretation of what is surely Mozart's best ensemble opera — both intimate and ecstatic, a tremendous psychological drama that stirs the emotions and leaves no one indifferent!

Critical thinking is foundational to the effective teaching of any subject. Understanding Content as a Mode of Thinking. The Unix system would occasionally return early from a system call with an error stating that it had done nothing—the "Interrupted System Call", or an error number 4 EINTR in today's systems.
This rule aims to reduce human errors and save time. I lay out essential components of any effective professional development program. Self — assessment is the ability to practically and objectively identify personal management strengths and weaknesses.
Gabriel suggests that a key advantage of Unix was that it embodied a design philosophy he termed "worse is better", in which simplicity of both the interface and the implementation are more important than any other attributes of the system—including correctness, consistency, and completeness.
We realize that robust critical thinking should be the guiding force for all of our educational efforts. Lack of sponsor support[ edit ] Agile software development is often implemented as a grassroots effort in organizations by software development teams trying to optimize their development processes and ensure consistency in the software development life cycle.

The Kilogram to be Redefined After 130 Years as Part of Metric System Overhaul21.05.2019
From now on, the kilogram will be defined by fundamental physical and atomic properties, rather than a material, man-made object. The redefinition, unanimously approved at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures last November, came into force on May 20.
Representatives from International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) member states have unanimously approved the plan to redefine basic SI units. The comprehensive overhaul, the BIPM explains, will change the definitions of four SI units—the ampere, mole, kelvin, and kilogram. From 1889 until now, the latter was defined by a one-kilogram cylinder made from a platinum-iridium alloy, kept in an underground vault located in Sèvres, a suburb of Paris.
Le Grand K, as the cylinder was commonly known, ceased to function as the standard kilogram, on May 20. "The redefinition of the SI draws on fundamental physical constants, universal for the entire universe. When the overhaul is complete, the basic units of measure and those derived from them will be based on the pillars of our world—physical constants. Science and technology will no longer be constrained by mutable material artifacts," writes the Polish Bureau of Weights and Measures.
Nową definicję kilograma stworzono z wykorzystaniem tzw. stałej Plancka – jednej z podstawowych stałych, często pojawiającej się w równaniach mechaniki kwantowej. Ma ona wartość 6,626070150 × 10^-34 kg·m2/s i wiąże kilogram z prędkością światła oraz podstawową jednostką czasu, czyli sekundą. Oznacza to, że definicja kilograma, choć odnosi się teraz do zupełnie innego systemu miar, jest teraz dużo bardziej precyzyjna.
The new kilogram will be based on the Planck constant, one of the most fundamental constants in quantum mechanics. The value of the constant is set to 6,626070150 × 10^-34 kg·m2/s, thus binding the kilogram to the meter and the second. This means that although dependent on other units, the definition of the kilogram much more precise now.
The Central Office of Measures was quick to add that the redefinition will have basically no impact on our everyday lives. The numbers on our kitchen scales will not change—the redefinition will, however, be important to scientists worldwide as it will make the data underpinning their research efforts that much more precise.

Our Mission
Up-Stitch is a 501(c)3 nonprofit creative reuse organization that collects donated fabric, yarn, and other sewing and needlework materials to distribute and sell back to the crafting community at an affordable rate.

Our goal is to improve the planet by reducing our local carbon footprint through the recycling of fabric and yarn. By re-circulating these materials to the community, we keep them out of dumps and put them back into the hands of people that can use them. Our shop offers alternative, unique, and local choices for sewers and knitters to purchase. We create a sense of community that comes with sharing and helping others in their quest to create.

We host regular meetings with volunteers to sort our many donations. Please subscribe to our mailing list to find the dates and times of upcoming "parties!"
Maggie and Megan
Knitter Maggie Erlich and sewist Megan Stasi began collecting donations in January of 2017 and opened the doors to their shop in the Albany Art Room in May of the same year. Their mutual love of stitching and desire to recycle has merged to form Up-Stitch. In the first 2 years of operation Maggie, Megan and their dedicated volunteers have received donations from 36 zip codes and saved over 6,000 pounds of sewing and crafting materials from the landfills. They have also had the opportunity to give away materials to individuals and groups in the community that are working to brighten the lives of others. They have made 60 donations of fabric, yarn and other crafting materials to some very inspiring people. The materials have allowed these individuals to make an array of creative projects such as fabric mosaics, community flags, quilts for those in need, winter hats and clothes for kids, costumes for school plays, prayer shawls and more.

Aesthetics in Crisis:
Feminist Attempts to Create an Interdisciplinary Discourse
Estella Lauter
Both of these books have the potential to make a difference in the ways in which visual artists, philosophers of aesthetics, and feminist theorists think about the boundaries of their disciplines, because practitioners in all these arenas appear together as participants in an enviably dynamic British debate concerning aesthetic issues with/in feminism. Although Hilary Robinson's (2001) volume contains only about sixty pages of essays on aesthetics, the books are closely allied. Robinson is among the theorists included by Penny Florence and Nicola Foster (2000) in their anthology, and she evinces similar interests in cultural studies and continental philosophy.
Both books respect the knowledge and practice of artists and other "thinkers about art" outside the academy, and both claim to respect earlier phases of feminist thought. They hope to encourage "the kind of inter-disciplinary work or 'critical mass' that can render the discourses [of art, theory and philosophy] fully permeable to each other" (Florence and Foster 2000, 4). They present a substantial body of feminist work in art and aesthetic theory that remains unrecognized even among feminists, and articulate a simultaneous need for feminism not to relegate "the aesthetic" to "a minor subsection of an academic discipline" (Florence and Foster 2000, 6). They claim a central place for the subject, the senses, and the body in aesthetics. All this, and much else, is good. I do not find in either book, however, an approach that makes the abovementioned discourses "fully permeable to each other."
Because Robinson's book may be more accessible to a broad range of readers familiar with the arts but not with aesthetics, I will begin with it.
Hilary Robinson's thick compendium, Feminism—Art—Theory (2001), is presented as "intellectual armour" in the struggle "against the patriarchy of the [End Page 273] art world . . . [and] the structures within visual culture which use markers of gender, race and nation above all else in maintaining hierarchies" (2001, 6). It is intended for use in graduate and undergraduate courses on feminist art and theory. Robinson's strategy is not to reproduce essays easily available elsewhere but to present less well-known texts as items for study and for debate with those given in a list of "Essential Reading" at the beginning of each section.
Robinson's section of nine essays on "The Aesthetic" is situated among others on gender, activism, art history, critical practices, politics, material strategies, identity, genealogy, representation, body, and spirit. Her introduction to the section briefly defines feminist art as "an approach to art making that is politically informed" but accepts the traditional (Kantian) terms of beauty and pleasure as key to aesthetic discussion (2001, 289) before providing her summary of the selections. The essays she selects actually include a broader range of topics than she highlights in her introduction. They address not only feminist art and feminine perception but also art as social production, female images, feminist theory, diversity, essentialism, and the role of the oppositional subject in institutional change. Robinson leaves it to us to draw our own conclusions, but in different ways each of the essays reserves a place for the female subject, the senses, and differences among artists, works of art, and viewers.
The editor's choice of the first four essays serves to complicate the common view of 1970s feminist work as entirely beholden to essentialist thought by showing the internal struggles that were already taking place by 1972. Written by American artists and critics, these pieces explicitly concern "feminist art." Critic Marjorie Kramer seeks to set parameters for painting: on one hand, she asserts that like most Modernist art, feminist painting is well-made and it can be about anything; on the other, it is figurative, does no harm to women, and when fueled by the women's movement it promotes "changing the world for the better" (2001, 293).

02/19/2019 06:40 – I (Prof. Erickson) have been "Unlawfully Terminated" (in my opinion ;-)) from NULL as of 16:28 February 15, 2019.
I have been told not to be in contact with any students, staff, or faculty, by NULL "administrators," who have a hard time writing a "termination letter" that makes any sense (e.g. forgetting to include a critical word in the first sentence of what was intended to be an "intimidating" letter).
Hell, the NULL idiots even got the Wheeling, Illinois Police Department involved. I kid you not. Yesterday, Officer Thomas Pinedo of the Wheeling Police Department's Special Operations Unit visited my home (and called me). I wasn't home at the time, and early this morning I wrote a very polite e-mail promising I won't go anywhere near NULL, and stay away from the territory of Wheeling, IL.
Needless to say, I am not intimidated, and I will be suing National Louis University, and several specific individuals.
About your materials, um… NULL is not paying me any longer, so I will not be scanning your materials, but rather have to put all of your materials in a box, and mail them to someone at NULL. More later when the NULL idiots give me some clear instructions how to proceed.
End Transmit
p.s. NULL personnel may be slandering and libeling me, so any evidence of "slander and libel" that anyone wants to send me, well, send it. I need clear cut evidence. Perhaps NULL personnel may have even filed false police reports, which is a felony (3 years) in the State of Illinois.
02/18/2019 Morning Instructions and Return of Scanned Copies of Students' Written Work.
Good morning History 102 Monday and Wednesday students.
Yeah, I know it is very weird (2 me) that I have been terminated, but hey, I've gone through similar things before (like when I was a teenage dish washer, and as I was leaving Roosevelt in 2012 – I was sick of working there, and they knew it – , but I remember what to do – 😉 ).
So, what is done, is simply done.
Now to clean up the mess and make sure no students are affected negatively by this "situation."
- All attendance has been recorded and entered by me, via D2L, and included your attendance for both Monday and Wednesday last week.
- I will be scanning and can send to students copies of "any and all" written work done in class, including "Analytical Cell" sheets.
- About "Milestones 1 and 2."
- I was planning on grading all Milestone 1s Friday and Saturday, but someone (avoiding anger and sarcasm here) cut me off of all NLU systems starting Friday (02/15) at about 4:30/16:30 and final cut off of e-mail was 6pm/18:00.
- Milestone 2: The entire Monday and Wednesday classes were run according to a Socratic model, so any subject we discussed is a potential topic for you to write about. If I had had access I would have instructed you to "write up" Milestone 2, as a preparation for a "Socratic debate" and we were to have some more formal Socractic debates at the beginning of both classes this week. But that is not going to happen.
So… check back here for more updates.
Stay warm, safe, and be very careful driving to campus as the weather continues to mostly suck (unless you snowboard, like me, and I like snow, just not f'n driving in it).
02/17/2019 Emergency Transmit and Warning to HIS 102 – D2L/Brightspace/Ellucian is an IoT Matrix Trap – Don't Participate RESIST YOUR FASCIST NULL/NLU SUPERVISING PROFESSORS (the Adjuncts and Coaches might be ok (I really have no idea), or scared to death – cuz lots of money to be stolen by selling bullshit AI LMSs – Learning Management Systems – to a bunch of GenXers/BrainDeadMillenials that never learned about computerz – I fucking did! – so help them RESIST! And demand a tuition refund)!
Yeah… I had some fun on Saturday… binge watched "Deutschland 1986" on Hulu, took a nap. AND THEN TOOK REVENGE! 😉
So HIS 102 M/W, I really do not know what unfortunate soul will be placed in our class ("our" cuz… like comrades in the "long march through the institutions" ;-)), but be kind to them, unless they are the alleged "professors" Vistain or Caver, then be as disobedient and disruptive as possible, perhaps "riotous," demand answers!!!
D2L/Brightspace/Ellucian… corporate IoT (Internet of Thingz) fucking trap. They are watching, and stealing, and selling your data. And NLU "leadership," and "soon to be fired" temporary Chair of some random fucked up department "Insane in the Membrane" Vistain, are all complicit, in selling your minds' "work produkt."
Check back later for more updates as this NULL/NLU story continues.
And yes Comrades I have been "Sent to Destroy" by the RF_GRU Memetik Spetznatz Division 666…
02/16/2019 Emergency Final Transmit to HIS 102 Monday and Wednesday.
Prof. Erickson's/Erxn's statement on his illegal and unconstitutional firing from National Louis University/Undergraduate College, Wheeling/Chicago, IL.
Right before the illegal and unconstitutional denial of access to all NLU webspace (including e-mail, D2L, Banner), I sent the following transmission to several students in my Wednesday class.
I actually was cut off in the middle of communicating with both of my classes, seriously, like I was trying to post an announcement to both courses and "someone pulled the plug."
I no longer have access to class lists… and this happened very quickly.
You are all in my Wednesday class, please inform students in my Monday class, but you are not obligated to.
My generic "announcement" about my termination has been attached.
My National Louis University e-mail will be cut off soon… but all of the cc e-mails will continue to work.
My webpage will continue to function… so students (former students) can reach me easily: https://christianerickson.org.
I am sorry about this, please tell as many students as you can.
Or not, it is up to you.
Down with Big Brother.
Attachment Statement
Well, apparently as of about 16:28 (4:28pm), Friday, February 15th, 2019, my employment was terminated with NLU.
I have no idea.
So… for further information contact: Valerie Vistain, soon to be fired Chair of some department, or… perhaps also soon to be fired "Martin" Christopher Caver (course "owner" for all HIS 102 classes).
Been nice getting to know you.
Apparently "Big Brother" really was watching.
Stay warm and safe.
Chris aka Dr./Prof. Erickson (Erxn)."
Well classes, that's it (for now).
On the anticipated advice from my legal counsel, this is the first, last, and only statement I will make. Until I appear in depositions, negotiations, and perhaps most enjoyable, before a jury, judge, and given the gravity of things, a visit to the United States Supreme Court (Washington, DC is a wonderful city, despite the corruption and depravity of the SOG, Seat of Government).
Legal response will be rapid, total, and merciless.
Many FOIA's will be filed. I am a non-public person, so Libel and Slander laws will ideally shut up any and all NLU employees and students about me. Or, even more legal hilarity will ensue.
In my estimation National Louis University's use of D2L and Zoom as a student, faculty, and staff "workplace surveillance system" will be found to be in total violation of the legal codes and constitutions of the State of Illinois, and the United States of America.
There will be profound legal consequences for all involved parties who are foolish enough to remain associated (employed by, or enrolled in) with NULL, oh I mean MLK, whoops, I mean NLU.
02/04/2019 Transmit to HIS102.
- Course Status/Review.
- Current Events/News – US/Global – Prof. Erxn's "Blog."
- Syllabus, Assignments, Milestones, Final Project (D2L Overview, Survey).
- Foundation(s) of the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America.
- MLK/Legacy of 1960s Assassinations.
- Black/African-American History Month.

Affiliated Computer Services

Affiliated Computer Services Inc.
By A.G. Edwards (45.41, July 31, 2002)
The current market turbulence makes valuation a much more difficult than usual task, particularly given that our analysis is heavily based on relative multiples.
However, our upgrade of Affiliated Computer Services, from Hold to Buy is based on the assumption that the overall bear market in equities has already seen its bottom.
Our 12-month price-target is $52, which yields a forward-looking multiple of 20 times our preliminary fiscal year 2004 (ending June) estimate of $2.60 per share.
Affiliated Computer is one of the very few mid-cap stocks that offers investors exposure to continued growth in computer services outsourcing, particularly to some of the higher value-added segments, such as business process outsourcing.

The Smithereens produced some of the 1980s most galvanizing power pop, and 36 years after they started in Carteret, New Jersey, the quartet can still deliver the musical goods. The Smithereens are on a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their major label debut album, "Especially For You," and they had a capacity crowd of 280 fans yelping and roaring in delight for two hours and ten minutes at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River Friday night.
This tour, which hits Infinity Hall in Norfolk, Connecticut on Saturday, and also plays at The Center for the Arts in Natick on May 27, features the band playing that first album from front-to-back, and then delving into the rest of their catalog.
The Smithereens' original lineup included Carteret High Class of 1975 grads Jim Babjak on guitar, Dennis Dieken on drums, and Mike Mesaros on bass, with singer/guitarist Pat DiNizio from nearby Scotch Plains, N.J. Mesaros retired from the band in 2006, and was replaced by Severo Jornacion. On these dates, DiNizio is still recovering from surgery on his right arm, so all he did was sing, and Andy Burton was added to the band on keyboards. (Burton has played with Southside Johnny, Ian Hunter, and Robert Plant's band, among others.)
Not to belabor the New Jersey connection, but with the band all dressed in black, fronted by DiNizio in a black suit over black shirt, with a bicycle racer's cap, the Smithereens looked for all the world like the band that might have played Tony Soprano's senior prom.
The classic Smithereens sound was often compared to the rougher side of the Beatles, for its pure pop melodicism, but it also carried a definite alternative crunch as well, like the best garage bands. But all the members are first class musicians, their songs have hauntingly evocative lyrics, and DiNizio's laidback baritone is immensely effective at conveying subtle emotions. � All of those elements were evident right away, as they blazed through that devastatingly vivid debut album. The heavy rock thump of "Don't Want To Lose You," for example, was neatly contrasted by the pinpoint melodic turns the bands pulled off during the song. And the rapidly paced rumble underneath "Time and Time Again" was leavened by superb vocal harmonies that achieved doo-wop precision.
The ominous foundation of "Behind the Wall of Sleep" gave that fever dream of lost love as much psychological impact as it had back in 1986, while the exotic touches on the ballad "In A Lonely Place" served to make it ever more eerie and disquieting. Those two tunes could be imaginary movie scores by themselves, but the album's biggest hit, which actually was used in tv and film scores, was an even more fabulous trip back in time. "Blood and Roses" is that rare pop song that is haunting and unforgettable both lyrically and musically, and Babjak's brain-curdling guitar lines rang out with as much crazed passion as ever, even as DiNizio's vocal stayed on an unsettlingly even keel.
"Hand Of Glory" from that album still sounds like classic '60s garage rock, but the final song, the melancholy ballad with heavy musical and thematic foundation, "Alone at Midnight" seemed to contain much more, a whole novel of desperation compressed into about four minutes.
Burton got some well-deserved spotlight on the first tune after the album's completion, the mysterious "Indigo Blues," from the band's 1991 "Blow Up" album. The midtempo power ballad "Only A Memory," was the first of several pulled from their 1988 "Green Thoughts" album, but it was notable for the terrific four-part vocal harmonies enhancing its chorus. DiNizio, 60, told a story about meeting one of his pop icons, Belinda Carlisle, at the Four Seasons in Boston when the band was relaxing in the hotel bar and he was so inebriated he assumes he was as attractive as "Crazy Guggenheim," but that meeting led to his writing "Blue Period" for her. Carlisle's management rejected the tune for her, but she sang it with the Smithereens, and Friday night it definitely sounded like a poppier version of their usual music.
In recent years the Smithereens have released cover albums, of The Who's "Tommy" (2009) and the Beatles (their 2007 "Meet the Smithereens" is a full length cover of "Meet the Beatles"). Babjak and the band were exhilarating as they roared through "The Overture" from 'Tommy,' and then "Acid Queen," and their torrid rendition of "Please Please Me" was a reminder of how raw and rocking the Beatles were in their early years.
The subtly churning "Yesterday Girl" from 1989, and a frenetic "House That We Used to Live In" were two more delightfully vibrant numbers. The surging fire of "Room Without A View" culminated in a typically incendiary Babjak guitar solo, and then a long and rather stunningly melodic Diken drum solo.
The night closed with the power pop march of "A Girl Like You," the single which hit #2 on the national rock charts in 1989, but the Smithereens turned it into a dazzling medley, inserting a rowdy "All Night Long" into it, and then morphing into the Who's "Behind Blues Eyes." DiNizio smartly had the throng of giddy fans sing the choruses to that last one, so that by the time it finished and they transitioned back to their own song, the venue was one big communal standing ovation/singing/dancing mass of happy people. � Thirty years after that memorable debut album, the Smithereens are still a force of nature in the rock 'n' roll world.
