Autumn has come and smacked me square between the eyes, and let me tell you I couldn't be more thrilled about it. The smells are changing, the sun rises a few minutes later so I get to sneak a few more minutes in bed, I no longer have to justify my obsession with scarves, tis a great thing this season.
I've been milling around for over a week trying to figure out what I wanted to use as my big debut! my proclamation to the world! until I finally realized I had put so much pressure on myself for my inaugural post that I had to step back and tell myself, "Do what you love…cook." So I did. And then I realized I forgot to measure my trail mix. This is a natural occurrence in my world – where things just kind of "come together" as defined by terribly abstract handfuls or little bits. I do not tell a lie.
So this is my effort to track what I did. I will warn you: it may have taken me a really long time to write this because my hands were otherwise engaged in nom-ing. (Did I really just use that, uh, word?)
Simple Autumnal Trail Mix
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup almonds
2/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds
3/4 cup dried cranberries
Today's colors: brown, red, green
Today's soundtrack: Tu Mediodia by DePedro
Now, if I could only figure out how to transplant a pumpkin patch into the city….

I am an Agricultural person.
I am a Communicator.
I am an Agricultural Communicator.
(I am also an over eater of tortillas...but we won't get into that right now.)
This makes Agriculture Media & Communications the perfect major for me...the Ag Communicator. It also makes it the perfect major for um...about 245,600 other college students...give or take a few.
This weekend I got to meet a few of the 245,600 other students from all over the U.S. of A at an Ag Communicators of Tomorrow Conference.
There was a lot of communicating going on....
I'm not real sure why.
But I liked it.
As you can imagine when you get many opinionated and passionate communicators in a room, ideas are flying freely around, and I managed to pick up a few that revolve around the social aspect of business.
While a lot of the ideas that I picked up need some time to simmer in a big pot (Just like stew...or John Wayne beans...or a roast....or anything else delicious you can think of...) one idea I plan to put into action ASAP. (I also learned how to say neat things like "ASAP" and "Ag-Vacate" and "Can I have another scone please.")
This idea is very simple, and should have come to me a long time ago...It's a Facebook page. But not for me. It's for Sandhill Cattle Company.
Now, by the time all of you read this there is a great chance my Father (operator of Sandhill) will have also read it, so my feelings on the idea may change slightly depending on how Daddy reacts to it....I kinda listen to his opinion every now and then because he's kinda smart, and I kinda like him....kinda.
What better way to promote a feed yard though...right?
Ok, so maybe not, but you never know who will discover the page, who might have previous interest in this kind of topic, or who might develop an interest in the greatest business in the world: The Cattle Business. Amen.
And with pictures like this....
How can your heart not be filled with joy?
Or at least the desire to go run around in the dirt with a fellow bovine friend...
Peace, Love, & Pray for all Ag Comm endeavors...
Sweet T

Let's chat: The image on invitations for the announcement show a face in a speech bubble, which have strengthen rumours of a new Skype feature
Facebook is rumoured to be preparing to launch a new video chat feature in partnership with Skype.
Founder Mark Zuckerberg has said that the world's biggest social networking website will 'launch something awesome' on Wednesday.
His comments have led to speculation that the site will announce a new feature powered by the Microsoft-owned video calling service.
Currently people using Facebook can only communicate using instant message text chat, but the two companies are reported to have agreed for Skype video chat to be integrated into the site.
The reports have been strengthened by the emergence of invitations for the event, which feature the picture of a face inside a speech bubble.
The move could dramatically increase the use of Skype, which currently has 170 million active users compared to Facebook's 750 million
The partnership would bring Facebook closer to Microsoft, which is one of its shareholders and bought Skype for $8.5 billion in May.
Mr Zuckerberg told reporters in a visit to Facebook's Seattle office on Wednesday that the company has an imminent launch, but revealed scant details.
'Something awesome': Mark Zuckerberg has promised Facebook will stage an exciting launch next week
He said the project had been developed at the 40-person Seattle office, Facebook's only major engineering centre outside of its Palo Alto, California headquarters.
There has been speculation in technology blogs in recent weeks about various mobile products in development at Facebook, including the release of a long-awaited Facebook app for Apple's iPad and a specialised app for photo-sharing on the iPhone.
Facebook's Seattle office has made a mark on the company's mobile efforts, playing a central role in the development of Facebook's unified mobile site, unveiled in March.
A Facebook spokesman declined to provide further details about Mr Zuckerberg's comments.
Facebook, the world's largest Internet social network with more than 500 million users, is increasingly challenging established online companies like Google and Yahoo for consumers' time online and for advertising dollars.
Speculation: There are rumours that the 'awesome' launch could be a new product for iPad users
According to the company, people that use Facebook on mobile devices are twice as active on the service than users on PCs.
'A trend is mobile… which means that instead of being just on a computer when you're at a computer, you're at a computer all the time,' said Mr Zuckerberg.
'It means you can share more stuff and then the final thing is that people's attitude towards sharing in society is changing.
'If you look back 30 years, I think people's attitude towards wanting to put something out there would've been different than it is today, where now every high school student, college student has the opportunity to have a blog, or a Facebook account, or a Twitter account, and can use those things to share things and that's much more of the norm now.
'I think instead of just primarily being afraid of the impact of that, now people are now primarily starting to see that that actually can be very valuable.' - dailymail

Yesterday, another postcard found its way to my mailbox. John was home for a large part of the day (a combination of rainy weather… not good if you're a gardener planning on mowing lawns… and a pinched nerve in his back) and the postcard was waiting on the table by the front door when I got home.
This one arrived from Germany, a lovely farm scene from the north of Germany, an area called North Frisia. John thought that was rather special considering the fact that I am of Frisian heritage. From the reading that I've done about the Frisians, at one time they controlled a large part of the North Sea. As a matter of fact, the North Sea was, I understand, once known as the Frisian Sea. They were a pretty amazing people. I'm proud to be of Frisian heritage. Obviously, they have much in common with pretty much all of the North Sea nations, from the Shetland Islands to Cornwall in Great Britain, all the way up to Denmark and even Sweden.
Elke's card shows a wonderful farm on the Eiderstedt Peninsula. If I'm reading my Google maps correctly, it's somewhere close to the border between Germany and Denmark. Beautiful! Just the kind of place I would love to visit one day.
Thank you, Elke!
As for my scanner, it has been giving me problems. I probably scanned this card ten times yesterday and each time, the scan looked fine but when I saved it as a jpg, the image came out skewed. Very strange. Today, however, it's behaving again.

This is not really something I would otherwise have considered writing about, but I guess that's the point of this blogging challenge. As for life lessons, the main thing I have learnt over the past few years is that life isn't always rosy. If I'm honest, I've had a pretty rubbish few years of late.
Two years ago, I was feeling really lost and had no idea where I wanted to head towards or in what direction. What I really want to achieve with this post, was to let other people know that it's ok to have times that are shit. You will get through it, and you know what? You'll come out the other side absolutely fine, and stronger than ever. Whilst there were many days when I felt that I was stuck in a dead end job, had no idea what to do with my life and felt I was a loser who was still living at home with her parents at home at 24. I was seriously low, and couldn't see any way of getting back up again. I only had the energy to wallow in my state of desperation and all enthusiasm for life had been sapped from me. Somehow, (and I wouldn't have been able to do this without a huge amount of support- for which I am eternally grateful. You know who you are.) I managed to bring myself up, found an enthusiasm I thought I'd lost long ago and make my way at building myself a new, uncertain future. It has been a slow process, but somehow I've got there from a little bit of voluntary work I thought I enjoyed (with a lot of fresh air along the way) into a job that I absolutely love. I just needed to take a step back and reflect on what made me happy, rather than what I thought would make others around me happy.
What have I learnt?
It is ok not to know where you are going.
That it is also ok to admit you are struggling and ask for help.
It doesn't matter what other people think, just what you think and feel.
Go with your instincts. Life is a journey and you call the shots.
I am thankful for the positive things I have in my life.
I've got much more of an appreciation of the little things that make me happy.
It is absolutely ok to do something different.
Things really do happen for a reason.
To quote a favourite musician of mine, Jon McClure of Reverend and the Makers:
I now look back on being made redundant way back in 2008 as a positive thing, rather than the disaster I felt it to be at the time. Without being forced to take a step back and re-evaluate, I would probably have worked in a job I didn't enjoy for the rest of my life, feeling unfulfilled without knowing why. Yes, I've had a tough few years, but I'm ok with that. I'd rather have a bit of a tough time and bounce back than a lifetime of never feeling truly happy. I think once you have experienced real lows, the highs are so much more welcome and I appreciate every single smile.
To anyone empathising with my sentiments, and still feeling lost- keep looking up, you'll be back on track soon. And don't keep it to yourself, share your feelings with someone who understands.

Skip to comments.Hsu will enter Mesa County Jail tonight
Posted on 09/13/2007 6:03:04 AM PDT by libstripper
Fugitive Yung Yuen Norman Hsu will be transferred to the Mesa County Jail sometime tonight, Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger confirmed this afternoon.
Hautzinger said he was told today to be prepared to handle Hsus bond-setting hearing Thursday.
Hautzinger said he plans to ask for at least $4 million bond for the wealthy businessman. One day before Hsu was arrested in Grand Junction, he skipped a bond hearing in a San Mateo, Calif., courtroom.
Given that he failed to appear on a $2 million bond, I have to ask the judge to double that at least, Hautzinger said.
(Excerpt) Read more at gjsentinel.com ...
This guy won't live long enough to see his trial. He knows too much.
The judge issued a NO-BAIL warrant...
Alright, I got $100 that says he some how mysteriously turns up dead within 48 hours after going into prison.
That's something that would be inline with previous Clinton associates that had information that could hurt their political aspirations...
McDougal died of a heart attack in federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas. The circumstances of his death remain questionable: he was apparently denied access to his heart medication, and he was placed in solitary confinement without the medication.
"On tonight's dinner menu: Tossed Salad." ;)
How much would you want to up the odds that the corpse is eventually discovered in Fort Marcy Park? ;)
I'm with you, the Clintoons will take care of this guy before he can open his mouth about Hillary.
Anybody compare the handwriting to hillary's?
Was it found torn up in a little pieces in the bottom of a brief case?
A supposed non profit that received a copy of Hsu's suicide note, the Innocence Project, apparently receive funds from H$U.
A quick search shows the Innocence Project has funding and other connections to George $oreA$$'s Open Society Group.
Who will be the first brave and good reporter to connect George $oreA$$ to H$U.
That's what I have been attempting to do via a web search, but haven't found a connection yet...will keep working on it.
Ping me if you find a connection, and I will do the same.
The reply linked by Eroteme below is interesting re these possible connections:
About this $40 MILLION loaned to Hsu. Where exactly is it? Where has it gone?
My guess: Foundations and organizations whose existence is to distribute funds in ostensible philanthropy—all of which have decidely liberal and/or activist bent. (And are legally set up to be insulated from disclosure and scrutiny.)
They, in turn, parcel it out to prearranged recipients, perhaps laundering it a final time through a PAC or 527 or grant/donation to another foundation before it lands up at the DNC, DSCC, Clinton Library, ACT, Acorn, etc.
Soft money can be disbursed in huge chunks. I suspect a good forensic audit of some of these foundations and charities and PACS would find a pattern of reciprocity that would boggle the mind. Of course, they're not subject to such disclosure, which is the whole point.
Hsu's 40 mil is spread around in ways the press hasn't even begun to consider—and won't.

Disgraced fundraiser Norman Hsu in jail
Published: March 3, 2007 at 10:31 PM
Pakistani charged with illegal donations
WASHINGTON, March 3 (UPI) -- A Pakistani businessman living in California has become a fugitive to avoid prosecution for illegal contributions to prominent Democrats.
Abdul Rehman Jinnah of Los Angeles is believed to have left the country, the Los Angeles Times reports. He has been indicted on charges of setting up straw contributors to political action committees for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
Jinnah allegedly recruited relatives, friends and employees to donate money to and Clinton, and then reimbursed them.
A federal official told the Times prosecutors had no evidence that the committees knew the contributions were illegal.
Officials for both committees told the Times they did not know about the investigation or the indictments until the newspaper contacted them, and said the committees would not keep the donations.
A legal resident of the United States, Jinnah had a number of businesses, including All America, a cell phone distributor, and a chain of yoghurt shops.
Jinnah hosted fundraisers for Boxer and Clinton. He was also involved in organizing the Pakistani American Leadership Center, which helped form a Congressional Pakistani Caucus.
Not an explicit connection (yet), but this article from June refers to both Soros and Lasry (but in separate contexts) and mentions that "some of the country's top hedge fund managers helped co-host a fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton in New York" —Curiously, this article has been deep-sixed from YahooNews and I had to find it in a Google cache......
They are the hedge fund managers.
Moneyed to extremes, they operate in a lucrative but little understood corner of the financial world. For politicians, particularly Democrats, they present a conundrum a deep source of campaign dollars made on business deals at odds with the party's populist image and policies.
Hedge funds are virtually unregulated, and their wealth represents a vast source of potential tax revenue to meet demands on government spending. Yet the political allegiances and donations of hedge fund managers are tilting Democratic, the result of an evolving world view or a sense of self-preservation and real politick.
And so, hedge funds have become a burden and a benefactor in presidential politics. Democrats Chris Dodd and John Edwards have raised the most from hedge fund executives. On Tuesday, some of the country's top hedge fund managers helped co-host a fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton in New York.
The FBI better move fast to get Hsu out of county jail and put him in protective solitary (from Clinton cronies & Chicoms who want him dead) and on a 24 hour suicide watch.
The CIA and FBI will loose his tongue - and Hsu has much to tell.
Hsu should be held without bond - any bond amount on this guy is absolutely insane!

Vancouver Special Streetscape
Vancouver Special Tour
This year (for the second year in a row), I am sponsoring the sixth annual Vancouver Specials tour, run by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation a charity that devotes their time and efforts to the conservation of Vancouver heritage. This tour has previously been in the fall, bu this year they've moved it to the Spring and it will take place on April 26th 2014 (tickets $30) from 1pm - 5pm.
The tour will consist of visiting five different Vancouver Specials, all renovated and unique in their own way. Among this year's selection will be a Joe Wai Vancouver Special. Joe Wai is a well-known architect that adapted the original Vancouver Special design to some particular challenges that were being faced in the Strathcona neighborhood in the 1970s. The idea was to create affordable housing at a time where the affordable housing in that community was quickly being demolished.
The team Joe Wai was working with (Thompson Berwick, Pratt and Partners) built a total of 51 units. Their challenge was to build on a budget for the average working class income. He stated that the idea was to design houses that were "simpler to put together than IKEA furniture.", and his vision paid off. More houses were up before people knew what had hit them and being affordable made these houses extremely popular.
Vancouver Special on Gladstone Street.
In the past, Vancouver Specials were seen as the "ugly duckling" of residential neighbourhoods. More recently, Vancouverite's with a keen eye for potential recognized the opportunity inherent in the architectural style. Today, the Vancouver Heritage Foundation is helping to highlight the many creative and unique adaptations of the Vancouver Special which cater to the owners own taste and imagination. You can take a look at some Vancouver Specials Renovation to see some examples as well as an in-depth guide to how you can renovate your own Vancouver Special.
The large supply Vancouver Specials as well as their adaptability have made them very attractive to first time buyers. They can cater to people from all walks of life for all needs whether that be someone's first family home, large extended families, to immense revenue generators.
You can learn more about the history of Vancouver Specials by attending the tour, and, if you are curious for more information, check out more information here:

The classroom is a playground for all sorts of bugs and lurgies, but for many teachers, catching Pediculus humanus capitis, head lice, is enemy Number One. If you haven't had them crawling around your head yet, chances are that you soon will. So...
What do they look like?
Head lice (nits) are greybrown wingless insects with six legs, two eyes, two antennae, and six hooks in their mouths. Given the chance, they will grow to about 2-4 mm long. The eggs are white, translucent and the size of a pin-point. They are laid near the base of hair shafts, where they stick resolutely, moving outward as the hair grows. It takes between six and 10 days for the eggs to hatch and only a week for the larvae to become sexually mature adults. Empty eggs remain attached to the hair shaft.
How do you catch them?
Most lice are caught through head-to-head contact, but can also be passed on by sharing hairbrushes, combs, hats, headphones and towels.
How do I know if I've got them?
During their lifecycle, head lice deposit their faeces in the scalp. It is an allergic reaction to these, rather than movement on the head, which causes the itching commonly associated with infestation. A rash, which is often worse behind the ears or on the back of the neck, may also appear.
Other signs include nits stuck to the hairs as they grow out, and louse droppings, which look like a fine black powder. Check your pillows and sheets each morning if you're collecting evidence.
What is the best way to diagnose head lice?
Put your head under a bright light, wet and section your hair, and inspect each piece. White bits that are brushed off are dead skin scales, not nits.
How do I get rid of them?
Thinking, talking or reading about nits is enough to make anyone's head itch. There are several ways. You can buy a number of insecticides, available as shampoos, lotions, liquids or cream rinses, over the counter at a chemist or through your doctor. However, today's "super nit" is increasingly resistant to these products and not everyone relishes the thought of using insecticides on themselves. Investment in a nit comb might be wise. Wet your hair, apply conditioner, then comb it thoroughly every third or fourth day over a two-week period. The aim is to remove all live lice and eggs until none are left. There is an "alternative" treatment, which involves using lotions or sprays that contain herbs, or oils such as tea tree oil. However, scientific evidence of their efficacy is thin.
Who do I tell?
Your headteacher, family, friends... and anyone else you've been in close contact with. All cases of head lice need to be treated, or you never get rid of them. Your school will most certainly have a policy on notification and treatment of head lice.
* Having head lice is not a sign of poverty or poor hygiene.
* All heads of hair - dirty or clean - are equally attractive to lice.
* Cases of lice are most common in children aged three to 10, but can occur at any age.
* Lice are spread from person to person when heads touch.
* Louse eggs, which are white, translucent and the size of a pinpoint, are called nits.
* Nits stick tightly to the side of hair shafts which makes them difficult to remove.
* There are three choices of treatment: insecticides, combing, and alternative treatments, including those containing essential oils and herbal extracts.
* All individuals who may be affected by an outbreak need to be treated.
* No-one has ever died from head lice.
* The mouth of a louse has six hooks by which it attaches itself to the skin of the scalp for feeding.
* Saliva is injected into the scalp through two needle-like tubes. The juices prevent blood from clotting and the tubes provide the method of transportation from scalp to mouth.
* The translucent bodies of lice turn reddish brown when engorged with blood.
* The life of a louse depends entirely on the blood extracted from humans.
* A louse will starve to death after 55 hours without blood.

Talking Hoops With Ted Sarandis – June 21, 2017
Welcome to the latest edition of Talking Hoops with Ted Sarandis. NBA Draft night is approaching, but the college game has a couple of big news items to talk about.
We get into the NBA Draft briefly at the end, and include a couple of housekeeping notes like our conference post-mortems and upcoming coverage, but we start with a surprising story and its aftermath.
June is an odd time for a school to fire a coach. The season has been over for over two months, so the coaching carousel is done. About the only sensible reason to fire a coach now would seem to be from something that just happened – an NCAA investigation or the outcome of one, or off-court matters. None of that happened at Ohio State, but athletic director Gene Smith felt it was a good time to fire Thad Matta.
To be sure, Ohio State has been trending down. The Buckeyes have missed the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons, not even being on the bubble this time around. Recruiting isn't what it was in the earlier days under Matta, when the Buckeyes scored plenty of big-time prospects and had several one-and-done players. Of course, having that kind of talent brings in other issues, like not having that talent around for long, and only a very select few programs can really reload constantly.
Still, as we discuss, why fire Matta now? He can't really go for another head coaching job if he wanted to, aside from perhaps a return to Butler since Chris Holtmann left there to succeed Matta in Columbus. Holtmann has to scramble to get a staff in place before July, as do new Butler head coach LaVall Jordan and new Milwaukee head coach Pat Baldwin, the latter of who enters that job after being an assistant at Northwestern.
What of Holtmann at Ohio State? He steered Butler through a lot of adversity in his tenure, from stabilizing them after Brandon Miller's sudden departure to the deaths of cherished alumni. He also got a top 100 prospect to follow him from Indianapolis to Columbus, which is a start, though the real judgment on how he affects recruiting should come with the class of 2019, one he and his staff will have a chance to recruit for over a year.
Jordan was a bit of a hot name, though he didn't have a great year at Milwaukee. His team, however, came on later, making a run to the Horizon League championship game before bowing out to Northern Kentucky. He played at Butler, and that had to be a lot of the attraction – he knows the landscape there.
We then go on to the story at Louisville, where the NCAA has responded in a big way to allegations surrounding an escort. The Cardinals have a long list of punishments – a five-game ACC suspension for head coach Rick Pitino, scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions, forfeiture of NCAA Tournament shares, four years of probation among them – but avoided a further postseason ban, which is always what a program hopes for.
From a historical standpoint, however, one punishment may be remembered more than anything else: vacating wins from 2010-14, which would include their 2013 national championship. It would be the first one ever vacated and the 12th Final Four appearance.
The Cardinals will appeal this, which means the story will live on. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will have the personnel to be one of the best teams in the country next season, so it will be another test of how Rick Pitino can focus his team.
We conclude by talking about the NBA Draft, though we don't get too deep into it. We note some of the big trades that occurred on Tuesday, as there is an immense amount of activity leading up to what is widely viewed as a deep draft.
We hope you enjoy it, and make sure you share it with your fellow college basketball fans. Then stay tuned for our coverage of the draft, including a special edition of the Morning Dish to appear on Friday morning.

Leaving on Sunday for Chicago and the TechSource symposium on Gaming and Libraries. It is looking good! Secretly I am hoping I win the Wii...I played it at a friend's place in Boston a few weeks ago and was amazed at how much I enjoyed it. Especially the boxing.
I am looking forward to hearing Henry Jenkins, in particular. We just got his most recent book in at the library, and after reading the intro and first few chapters, I think I will really get a lot out of his lecture.
So, the Sheck is out of town for the next few days. I will try to return with interesting stories, good ideas, and some pics on Thursday.
And yes, Harry Potter will be accompanying me on my plane ride.

and can I borrow it when you are done? :)

The young man, as he followed his wife into the hall, was conscious of a curious reversal of mood. There was something about the luxury of the Welland house and the density of the Welland atmosphere, so charged with minute observances and exactions, that always stole into his system like a narcotic. The heavy carpets, the watchful servants, the perpetually reminding tick of disciplined clocks, the perpetually renewed stack of cards and invitations on the hall table, the whole chain of tyrannical trifles binding one hour to the next, and each member of the household to all the others, made any less systematised and affluent existence seem unreal and precarious. But now it was the Welland house, and the life he was expected to lead in it, that had become unreal and irrelevant, and the brief scene on the shore, when he had stood irresolute, halfway down the bank, was as close to him as the blood in his veins.
All night he lay awake in the big chintz bedroom at May's side, watching the moonlight slant along the carpet, and thinking of Ellen Olenska driving home across the gleaming beaches behind Beaufort's trotters.

A test of screening procedures?
"Gun, ammunition confiscated from air passenger," from CBC News, June 17 (thanks to APA):
A man was arrested at the Calgary International Airport Tuesday after a handgun was detected in his carry-on luggage.
Security officers in a pre-boarding screening area at concourse D noticed the gun inside the luggage and alerted police just after noon Tuesday.
Police arrested the man without incident and seized an unloaded, small calibre handgun and several rounds of ammunition from the bag, said Calgary police. They believe the man was flying to Saskatoon.
Ziad Mohamad Jeha, 30, of Calgary, has been charged with possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace, possession of a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon without a permit and possession of a restricted weapon with readily accessible ammunition.
Calgary police said the suspect is known to them.
That's an interesting last paragraph.

The call for reforming the quota system in public service recruitments is getting louder as demonstration over the issue has spread to various educational institutions across the country.
Thousands of students from different public universities and colleges staged sit-ins and held rallies at their institutions yesterday, demanding an end to the "discrimination created by the disproportionate quotas" in BCS (Bangladesh Civil Service) exams and other government recruitment tests.
Under the banner of "Bangladesh Shadharan Chhatra Odhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad", the protesters started the demonstration around 11:00am to press home their five-point demand, including reducing the allocation of quota privileges to 10 percent from current 56 percent.
The other demands include recruiting job seekers to vacant posts on the basis of merit if suitable candidates are not found from those who are eligible to get jobs under the quota system, preventing special recruitment tests for candidates falling under the quotas, and ensuring unified age for all job seekers.
Also yesterday, children of freedom fighters formed a human chain in front of the Jatiya Press Club in favour of the 30 percent posts reserved for them in government jobs.
Under the banner of "Muktijoddha Sangsad Santan Command", they slammed the demonstration demanding reformation of quota system.
"It's a conspiracy. It's the Jamaat-Shibir activists who have been staging demonstration demanding reformation of the quota system under the banner of general students," said Mehedi Hasan, president of the association.
The anti-quota protesters held the existing system responsible for many meritorious candidates' failure to get the jobs they deserve. Currently, only 44 percent job seekers are recruited on the basis of merit. The remaining 56 percent candidates are recruited on the basis of the privileges under various quotas.
Of the 56 percent, 30 percent are kept for freedom fighters' children and grandchildren, 10 percent for women, 10 percent for people from districts lagging behind, 5 percent for people of indigenous communities, and people with disabilities have the remaining one percent.
The aspirants claimed that the existing quota system is hugely disproportionate and it has been there for ages. They said it has left the nation with two grave consequences -- competent candidates being driven to other jobs and bureaucracy being devoid of merit in the long run.
There had been protests against the quota system earlier in Dhaka and other places. On February 17, jobseekers held a demonstration at the base of Raju Vashkarjo (Raju Memorial Sculpture) on the Dhaka University campus.
Yesterday around 11:00am, the protesters, holding placards with the demands written on them, tried to form a human chain at the Shahbagh intersection.
But police barred the protest in order to avoid "public sufferings", said Abul Hasan, officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station.
Being obstructed, more than 1,000 students and jobseekers from different universities and colleges of the capital -- mostly from Dhaka University -- started their sit-in around 11:30am.
They demonstrated for over an hour there and later sent a four-member delegation to the Prime Minister's Office to submit a memorandum, having the five-point demands.
The delegation -- comprising three DU students and one from Dhaka College -- submitted the memorandum.
"We, the general students, are facing huge discrimination," said Masud Ahmed, a DU graduate.
Another job aspirant, Mohammad Russell, said, "There should be a certain quota for our freedom fighters for their contributions in the war, but not such a large chunk like 30 percent. The government must reduce the percentage gradually and keep it to 10 percent."
He said if anyone from a family enjoys the benefit of quota, its other members should not get it.
Al Mamun, a student of Dhaka College, said a large number of posts in civil service exams remain vacant as jobseekers applying under the quotas were not found suitable against the available posts.
But, thousands of qualified candidates are not getting jobs despite appearing in the recruitment tests repeatedly, he added.
He also demanded that the government recruit job seekers based on merit if the posts under quota remain unfulfilled.
In the last few civil service recruitment examinations, a total of 3,500 posts remained vacant as eligible aspirants were not found under the quota. A total of 813 posts remained vacant in the 28th BCS, 792 in the 29th BCS, 784 in the 30th, 773 in the 31st and 338 in the 35th.
The protestors also announced to hold a protest programme wearing black badges at different colleges and universities across the country on March 4.
More than a thousand students of different departments of Rajshahi University (RU) joined the demonstration on the campus yesterday, voicing similar demands.
The students formed an hour-long human chain in Paris Road area of the university at 11:00am and brought out a silent procession that paraded different roads on the campus.
Salahuddin Sayem, son of a freedom fighter, said, "Being a child of a freedom fighter, I do not want cancellation of this quota. But as its proportion is too high, it is taking away opportunities from thousands of meritorious students. That's why I want this system to reform."
Sayem, a student of history department, said, "My father fought in the Liberation War for the welfare of this country, not for creating any discrimination among its people."
Another demonstrator, Mominur Rashid, a student of philosophy department, said, "We do not want the cancellation of the quota system, we want its reform".
At Jahangirnagar University, more than 600 students yesterday demonstrated on the campus by forming a human chain in front of the university central Shaheed Minar.
The students started the programme at 11:00am to press home their five-point demand.
A masters student of public administration department, Saleq Muhid, also a son of a freedom fighter, said, "It's not ethical that we are getting advantages as sons of freedom fighters. Those who gave away their lives in 1971 did not make the sacrifice only for them and their children. Their dream was to make a society equal for all."
In Chittagong University, over 300 students of different departments formed a human chain at Central Shaheed Minar premises around 11:00am to press home their demand.
Coordinator of the protest programme, Mizanur Rahman, a fourth year student of political science department, said that they are being deprived of government jobs because of the quota system.
"We are not against the quota. But the government should emphasise merit and give priorities to 90% general students. We want an immediate review of quota system," he said, seeking prime minister's intervention in removing the "discrimination" in government jobs.
A similar demonstration was held in Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University in Tangail.
Students of all the departments joined the one-hour human chain in front of the administrative building with a slogan -- "Bangabandhur Banglai, Boishommer thai nai" (There is no room for discrimination in Bangabandhu's Bangla).

WEST HAM supremo Eggert Magnusson has been dodging questions about Carlos Tevez this week - but he was a bit more forthright with a fans' website.
Magnusson was asked by the chaps at Knees Up Mother Brown: "If we stay up is there any chance Tevez might stay?" and replied: "Yeah, of course there's a chance but as I've said in the press before, it's not up to me because West Ham don't own the rights to Tevez."
When the puzzled Hammers fan asked: "What happened to the four-year contract he was supposed to have signed?" the reply from the chairman was: "The terms were he could be moved whenever, you know.
In the transfer windows." That information has already been circulated among the Gang of Four. Any wonder they are still screaming?

Guellela: the world of pottery
in Intern Insights,Tunisia
I am amazed at the number of cultural experiences you can have on the little island of Djerba. Just when I thought I had exhausted them all, I got to enjoy another one. A short drive from Houmt Souk is a town called Guellela. This town is known for its pottery. As soon as we entered the town, pottery shops lined the streets. Pots, vases, and dishes of all shapes and sizes were stacked in piles and laid out on the ground. There were four foot high pieces built into the walls, seeming to be used as an integral part of construction. Most of the pottery was unpainted, showing off the rich red clay used to make it.
Our first stop was the Guellela Museum. It was built on the highest point of the island, overlooking Guellela and the beautiful Mediterranean. This enormous museum is split into more than 25 exhibits, all connected to a courtyard which is perfectly landscaped with trees and flowers.
As you make your way through each exhibit, you are introduced to Tunisian Berber culture, from weddings, to clothes, to music, to religion. Traditional music plays throughout the museum, providing ambiance for the different sections. There are also a few exhibits about the the Jewish community on the island. Djerba takes great pride in the fact that Muslims, Christians, and Jews live together on the island in peace.
One of the exhibits towards the end of the museum is full of Arabic calligraphy. If you go in the morning, the calligrapher is sitting there, ready to write your name in Arabic for a small price. His pieces are done on papyrus, fabric, animal skins, and paper, each more beautiful than the last. I had my name written and decided it looks much more beautiful in Arabic than Roman script.
Art in Tunisian culture extends beyond just their beautiful calligraphy. The museum has paintings, mosaics, pottery, jewelry and embroidery. Each piece is exquisite and screams of the beautiful creativity man has been blessed with.
Our second stop was just up the road from the museum at a local pottery stop. The first thing I noticed was the two camels sitting at the entrance. One was small (for a camel) and we learned he was only two months old.
We continued walking and then started our tour of the place. We went into the clay pit and learned that the clay used for pottery is six meters underground. They light candles on the steps down because, if the air is compromised, the candles will go out. This is their indication that they need to exit quickly.
Then our tour guide showed us how to make a pot. In just a few minutes, he sculpted a beautiful pot with almost nonchalant ease. He then led us to the kilns and explained how they worked.
Once our tour was complete, we were led to their gift shop and again got to enjoy all the pottery. I couldn't resist and came away with two hand-crafted candlestick holders.
Guellela is an intriguing part of Houmt Souk that has retained its tradition and culture in an ever-changing world. It is worth a trip by whoever comes to Djerba. Guellela provides a day of enjoying art and creativity and learning something new about Tunisian culture.

Driving along a dirt track, coming across a brood of five Woodcock. They freeze where they are. Instinct telling them that's the safe thing to do. Though to us clearly visible just a few metres in front of the 4×4.
Merlin. Robust, miniature, efficient, vociferous little predators. Cocky. Mobbing and chasing off any potential danger to their precious fledglings. Buzzard, harrier, owl. Avian or insect prey. If you are their target, you don't stand much chance. For such feisty little buggers to be rare suggests some serious issues with their prey, habitat or persecution.
A male Stonechat. In his glorious plumage prime. An inquisitive little fellow. Bedraggled from the ceaseless rain and mist, peering into the hut. Looking for dry shelter?
Invisible. Out there hidden in the vegetation somewhere. A secret hidden world. Red grouse. Every now and then you are reminded of their presence as one of them chatters. A delightful call with a very Donald Duckish ending.
One of the most successful of predators. So preoccupied with what he's about to do that he's either oblivious to my presence or just un-phased. Rabbit found, rabbit ambushed, rabbit throttled
The chocolate brown mink drags the adult rabbit down the bank, gone. Leaving me standing there a little bewildered as I've just witnessed the fastest murder in history. But in absolute awe of the killing machine.
Conifers line the road along one side. The house sits on the other side. As you approach the house there are home made (though very presentable) signs. They ask you to Slow Down, with an image of a red squirrel. As you slow down to a crawl (desperate for a glimpse of this adorable little creature) you see the squirrel nut feeder, on the conifer side of the road. Now then. I crawl past here twice each day and I'm usually blessed with close-up, unperturbed visions of Bob the Squirrel. Sometimes he's inside the nut feeder. Warm, dry, munching away. Sometimes he's sat on top of his nut feeder. All round and orange and fluffy. Full belly. Just sitting. I wonder if he ever bothers to leave that tree.

Each day I grow stronger and bigger. My teeth grow longer and sharper. But there are other animals on the prowl, sniffing around, looking for dinner. Our mother moves us around from place to place to keep us safe.
Did You Know?
Copyrighted Material
Cheetahs usually give birth to three to five cubs. First they make a nest for their cubs, in a quiet, hidden spot, such as tall grass. Cubs are blind when they are born. They begin crawling around the nest at four to ten days, when their eyes finally open. Before then, they use touch and scent to find their mother's milk.
The mother cheetah moves her cubs for safety. The mother hides her cubs in long grass, under bushes, or among rocks while she goes off to hunt. Every few days she moves her cubs to a different place, so their scent does not build up and attract predators.
Cheetahs make many different sounds. A mother calling her cubs gives a high-pitched, birdlike chirp, which can be heard from far away. Cheetahs also use this sound when greeting each other. They purr like a cat when content, bleat when in distress, and growl or hiss when attacking or defending themselves.
Copyrighted Material
Cubs prepare for life by playing. Cubs learn how to hunt for themselves through play. They practice pouncing, stalking, and ambushing each other, or small animals their mother brings them. Playing also helps them to grow stronger and move their bodies well.
Cheetahs can run fast, but not for long. A cheetah can only sprint for about 30 seconds before it runs out of energy. If its prey can stay out of reach for that long, it may be able to escape. Only about half of a cheetah's chases are successful.
Cheetahs choose and stalk their prey. Cheetahs move almost silently when they are hunting. This allows them to get as close to their prey as they can before starting the chase. They look out for an animal that is small, weak, old, or separated from the herd, to increase their chances of catching it.
Did You Know?
Copyrighted Material (continued)
The fastest animal on land is the cheetah. Cheetahs are built for speed, with lean bodies, flexible spines and hips, and large, strong hearts and lungs. Their short, blunt claws grip the ground as they run, like the spikes on a pair of running shoes. Having a long tail helps them to keep their balance during sharp turns.
After hunting, cheetahs can be too exhausted to eat. Once they have caught their prey, cheetahs are often too tired to eat right away. Instead, they hide it in a safe place. If undisturbed by vultures, hyenas, or lions, cheetahs can spend the whole day eating.
The mother cheetah moves on to start a new family. The mother leaves her cubs when they are about 18 months old, to start another family. The cubs stay together for about another six months, practicing their hunting skills.
Copyrighted Material
Male and female cheetahs live separately. Female cheetahs leave their male siblings at around two years of age and set up their own territory, called the "home range." The males stay together in small groups for the rest of their lives.
The cheetah's tail has spots, black rings, and a white tip. When moving her cubs through long grass, the mother cheetah raises her tail. Its bright white tip acts as a marker to help the cubs keep her in sight.

Here's a thought… who knows what will come of it… maybe I'll follow through, maybe I'll space it. Who knows. I'm not making any promises, but here it is anyway. How about a tip a week on Saturday? Call it Sa-tip-urday.
Today's tip:
Maybe you're trying to get more whole grains in your diet. We're told we need 25 grams of whole grains per day and it's really not that hard to get if you plan ahead. One easy way is to switch from white rice to brown rice. That's probably nothing you haven't heard before. For me, it didn't seem easy. I didn't like brown rice and I found it impossible to cook without burning. I'd stink up the kitchen and wind up with a black-brown mushy mess and nothing to serve my stir fry with. Until (insert hero music) Cheapskate Lady Mary Hunt posted a fool proof oven method for cooking rice. And it is fool-proof. Produces perfectly cooked brown rice with very little effort and though I've done a lot wrong to this thing, its magic never gets tripped up. So… without further ado, here's my version:
Fool-Proof Oven Brown Rice
Prep time: 7 minutes+ (depending on your altitude & how long it takes water to boil)
Cook time: 1 hr (see tips below)
Yield: 6 hearty servings
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice (short, long… doesn't matter)
- 2 1/3 cups boiling water
- 2 tsp oil or butter (I usually use canola oil)
- 1 tsp salt (I usually omit)
Set the oven to 375 degrees F. Set a full kettle on the stove to boil. Get out a 9×9 pan & measure the rice into it. Pour oil over rice (if you're using butter, put it in your measuring cup that you'll measure the boiling water in). Get out foil and make a double layer large enough to cover your 9×9. When the water comes to boil, measure it in a glass measuring cup (this is important… don't try a plastic measuring cup… not fun, I can tell you), pour it over the rice, slap the foil on and pinch it tightly around the pan. Stick 'er in the oven for an hour.
- I usually double this and cook it in a 9×13. I measure 2 cups (about 4 servings) into a freezer bag, smash it flat and freeze a stack of them. Need brown rice fast? Easy schmeasy. Pull it out of the freezer, break it up into a glass dish (get out some agression… smash it on the edge of the counter), microwave and VOILA! You're the hero with effortless brown rice on a weeknight.
- I've forgotten this in the oven for up to 30 minutes beyond the cooking time with no ill results. I've also turned the oven off at 40 minutes and (keeping the door closed) left the rice in for a few hours till I got home… comes out beautifully.
- I've forgotten the oil… comes out fine. I almost never put the salt in… comes out fine.
As for not liking brown rice, I can understand that. I struggled with it too, but it's really worth the effort to overcome. The nutritional difference is huge. Here's some ideas:
- Avoid Mahatma brown rice. I don't know what it is about that brand, but I just don't like it. Tastes too whole-grainy I guess.
- Go for short grain brown rice. I like to get mine from the bulk bins at Whole Foods. It's plumper and has a higher "meat" to husk ratio. If you've had brown rice at P.F. Changs and like it, this will help you; they use short grain.
- If you're still not liking it, mix your white & brown rice half & half (or more). Over time increase the brown rice until you're eating all brown.
Bonus tip: I don't always have brown rice stored up in the freezer. When I need a fast grain, I reach for quinoa (pronounced keen-wah… now don't you feel smart? ;o) ). It's a tiny ancient grain that packs a serious punch. It has all the amino acids, 6g protein per serving and cooks up in a flash. Dump it in the pan, put in double the water, bring to a boil & simmer till the husk spirals out (about 15 minutes). 1/4 cup (dry) is a serving and turns into about 1/2 cup. I buy mine at Whole Foods. They have a one pound sack for less than $2. At my local grocery store, it comes in a snooty box and goes for $6.

Evening rush hour in pouring rain on Storrow Drive. My car stalls in the center lane.
A red sports car stops to help. Attaches jumper cables to battery terminals and guns his engine.
Sparks fly!
Positive/negative mix up. He sheepishly pulls out cellphone and requests a tow truck.

No, not Susan MacDougal and Webster Hubbell.
Two guilty pleas were entered this week in connection with the federal government's ongoing prosecution of sleazebag plaintiff's securities class action law firm, Milberg Weiss.
One of the pleas was made by a former partner in that firm. He's been flipped and now will testify for the prosecution.
I've long maintained one of the most effective ways to choke off vexatious anti-business lawsuits is to round up and incarcerate plaintiff's lawyers for their various crimes.
It's good to see we've finally got a Justice Department with the cojones to do just that.

If that's not a peaceful image, I don't know what is! Here, we are at Day 3…Feeling Peace.
Meditation Takeaway: There are various levels of peace: Peace of Mind where your not worried or stressed; Peace that leaves you free from Anxiety about the future ,which allows you to feel safe and secure; Peace that comes from Self-acceptance, you are happy with who you are; and Spiritual Peace, also known as the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Spiritual Peace is the content stillness of your soul. When your soul is content, your heart and mind are also content. This is the type of peace that can't be taken away from you. Peace in the soul is the underlying fundamental element of happiness!
I know this type of Peace…this peace that comes over you and thru you when everything around you appears to be in totally chaos. It's a personal peace; it will look and feel different for everyone but you will know it when it arrives. It's as if you are standing out on the end of that pier in that picture above and a Level 5 Hurricane starts up around, destroying everything in its path but YOU. You feel no worry about life, no anxiety, no what ifs, perhaps even, no fear! AND if you do happen to feel those things…you are not shaken, nor are you moved. That's the Spiritual Peace that leads to true, unshakeable happiness. That is what we should strive for, not just momentary peace, but peace that comes from our Source and that fills us up completely!
How beautiful…Feeling Peace!

Words are magic
by Christos Polydorou
If life gets too static:
words are magic.
fly out of top hats lethargic.
If love gets too tragic:
words are magic.
leap out of the tail ends of bad habits.
If death gets too pedantic:
words are magic.
Colorful scarves
spin out of sleeves romantic.
And if your next life gets too nostalgic:
words are magic.
Magician assistants
sawed in two, somehow is cathartic.

With Human Energy, Travis Stewart (aka Machinedrum) has made a career-defining album, one which will take him from best-kept-secret of the electronic music cognoscenti to breakout star of the US music scene. Written between January and April 2016, the record "reflects a period of great change in my life. I moved across the country to a new city, I proposed to the girl of my dreams, I moved into a new house, bought a brand new computer and set off to write a new album."
From opener "Lapis," Machinedrum sets out his stall – an arpeggio ascending to heaven which, apparently building towards the mother of all drops, instead fades up and off into the ether. The music throughout is scintillating, from the mind-candy riffs of "White Crown" (featuring some crazy guitar work from Tosin Abasi of progressive metal band Animals As Leaders), the ecstatic d&b finale of "Do It 4 U" (an absolute stand-out with showstopper vox from singer-of-the-moment D∆WN), the smile-inducing, melodic brilliance of "Color Communicator," or the precision and build of first single "Dos Puertas," featuring Rihanna collaborator Kevin Hussein.
Hussein, D∆WN and Abasi aren't the only collaborators to have bought into this new take on the Machinedrum universe. Fresh off the back of two prominent collabs on Beyonce's Lemonade, MeLo-X offers understated, classy assistance on the wonderful "Angel Speak," sitting his voice in amongst heavenly vocal chops. Jesse Boykins III offers a moment of astral r&b goodness on "Celestial Levels." Rochelle Jordan provides the lift off as Machinedrum works the rhythm flips on "Tell U." There are telling contributions, too, from Ruckazoid, Roses Gabore and SK Simeon.
