Historic Victories for Union
The coming years would bring much more adversity: Strikes and boycotts, marches and fasts, victories and defeats. But through it all, Cesar learned and taught others how commitment and sacrifice can set you free from the constraints imposed by depending entirely on money and material things.
Over four decades, Cesar saw his share of defeats, but also historic victories. Under Cesar, the UFW achieved unprecedented gains for farm workers, establishing it as the first successful farm workers union in American history. Among them were:
The first genuine collective bargaining agreements between farm workers and growers in American history.
The first union contracts requiring rest periods, toilets in the fields, clean drinking water, hand washing facilities, banning discrimination in employment and sexual harassment of women workers, requiring protective clothing against pesticide exposure, prohibiting pesticide spraying while workers are in the fields and outlawing DDT and other dangerous pesticides (years before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency acted).
The first comprehensive union medical (and later dental and vision) benefits for farm workers and their families through a joint union-employer health and welfare fund, the Robert F. Kennedy Medical Plan, which has paid out more than $250 million in benefits.
The first and only functioning pension plan for retired farm workers, the Juan de la Cruz Pension Plan, with present assets of more than $100 million.
The first union contracts providing for profit sharing and parental leave.
Abolishment of the infamous short-handled hoe that crippled generations of farm workers.
Extending to farm workers state coverage under unemployment insurance, disability and workers' compensation, as well as federal amnesty rights for immigrants.
Because of Cesar and millions of Americans who supported farm workers by boycotting grapes and other products, under then-Gov. Jerry Brown California passed the landmark Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975, the nation's first, and still the only, law guaranteeing farm workers the right to organize, choose their own union representative and negotiate with their employers.

|Hello and thank you for visiting. You've landed on the homepage of Altacircle.com a blog focused mostly on digital marketing. I'm John and I've had the good luck or bad luck to work in interactive marketing since 1995.

Why Personalization Matters
It isn't that for over 30 years direct marketing has told us relevancy increases conversion rates.
It isn't because you've invested real cash in the tools to personalize but have a hard time managing the complexity of implementing it.
It isn't because your customers get annoyed if they have to search for the information they are looking for.
It is because no one wants to be lost in a broadcast.
Yes conversion rates go up if you personalize. And yes you should use the full capability of the tools with simple strategies to get teams moving.
The real reason is to show you have empathy for your customers. Not because "the customer is always right" but because of the reason you got into your business in the first place. Because you want to do the right thing for your customers.

The shift to a circular economy requires new levels of innovation, collaboration and collective action. To accelerate the shift we teamed up 10 Circular Economy innovators with industry pioneers including LAUNCH partners Nike Inc., IKEA Group, eBay, Novozymes, Kvadrat and several Nordic government institutions at this years LAUNCH Circular Inovation Summit March 2-3 at Nike HQ in Portland.
Here is a sneak-peek into the Summit and the collaboration and conversations between 10 LAUNCH Circular Economy Innovators, partners and industry pioneers:
At LAUNCH we believe the shift towards a circular economy requires new innovations, collaborations and not least action. As the world develop we need to meet new and growing demands in the future – this will require products designed for disassembly and reuse, efficient take back processes and business models that keep materials in play longer and more effectively.
Cyrus Wadia, VP for Sustainable Business Innovation at Nike underlined the importance of collaboration when he stated "We can't do this alone". We need innovations that support the circular economy and partners gathering around the innovations to reach a more circular future.
Such innovations are represented in the solutions provided by LAUNCH innovators. At the Summit entrepreneur Vigga Svensson of Vigga.us and Håkan Nordqvist, Director of Sustainability at IKEA, talked about why it's imperative to entice consumers to be part of a sustainable culture.
Siddharth Hande of Kabadiwalla Connect and Amy Millington of eBay brought another important perspective to understanding circular economy as they talked about the importance of inclusivity and understanding the local context especially in the developing world.
Vigga Svensson of Vigga.Us and Siddharth Hande of Kabadiwalla Connect both represent new business models and solutions in a circular economy – at the LAUNCH website you can find more videos of LAUNCH Innovators describing their circular solutions within; recycling of cotton, green chemistry, platforms, technologies, waste to resource, supply chains, ecosystems and much more.
Established in 2009, LAUNCH is a network-centred innovation platform founded on the belief that the problems of today are too big to be solved by any one organization alone. Our unique approach is to convene and curate networks of individuals and organizations to forge pathways for change together.
LAUNCH was founded by NASA, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.S. Department of State and NIKE, Inc., who joined together to identify, showcase and support innovative approaches to sustainability challenges.

It's all about mobility in cars it seems, and with good reason, when one comes to realize how keyed in to our mobile devices society has become. Smartdevices are becoming more of a central processing unit that interfaces with every facet of life: at home, work and everything in-between.
As it goes, GPS solutions are obviously on the table, and the Magellan name is synonymous with this sector. Getting to formally checkout its eXplorist TRX Offroad Navigator, we didn't pretend not to be too eager.
The review package Magellan sent us highlights the whole solution in its retail glory; one gets the navigation display, cabling/charging accessories, mounting pieces and documentation. The display piece is similar in looks to a mid-sized tablet, but with a relatively wide frame and telltale rugged construction, with a rubberized cornerings and sealed off ports. It's fairly hefty in hand, larger in profile than a traditionally-sized standalone GPS unit, and looks somewhat refined in the all-black presentation. Yep, one gets a 7″ HD touchscreen which is protected by a rugged IP67 casing: made for tough business, as it were. The screen isn't the most vivid, but it gets the job done.
If the aforementioned similarity to a tablet is intriguing, it'll be cool to know that the tablet is actually an Android tablet with Android OS 4.2.2 under the hood. As such, navigation should be easy for anyone that has used a tablet, and especially intuitive for Android users.
Setting up is fairly easy. To use effectively, one must acquire the companion Magellan TRX application via Google Play, create and sign in with a www.myTRXjournal.com account. Signing in with the same credentials on the hardware unit allows the unit and the app to sync.
So, this thing is built for the outdoors, so it got the treatment by way of the trusty 4×4 jeep (which admittedly has been begging for some 4×4 action). The big usability features are the ability to use crowdsourced maps, and to add/share tracks of one's own. The crowdsourcing aspect is well done, allowing one to vet courses and what equipment one uses.
Frankly, at the end of the review, my biggest regret was not being able to go to more exotic locations; the unit does help enhance such travel that much. It is a bit of an investment, but for true off-roading enthusiasts, is is sure to be a hit.

So your top secret studio work is still a closely guarded secret – except that it is "different…." The plot thickens! With respect to the incredibly talented musicians who play these instruments does this mean no pipes, flutes, wind, dare I say "comfort zone" folk material etc that has been the staple MK sound for the last 10 years? Can we expect some good old proper rocking sounds??? (Oh if only…)

The past year has reminded everyone that the markets occasionally give investors a wild ride. If falling stock prices and bad prospects for the future of the U.S. economy have you thinking you can't endure the ups and downs in your portfolio for even one more day, you're not alone -- but there's something you can do to keep yourself from going nuts.
Unfortunately, a lot of people have decided that the best way to deal with the recent panic is to get out of the stock market entirely. But if you can't afford to give up on stocks without giving up your dreams of financial success -- and most people can't -- then you need to find some investments that will help you stay sane without making you go broke in the process.
Nest eggs at risk
The past few months have everyone confused and scared. Whether you're a first-time investor or a seasoned veteran, Wall Street firm failures and crashing world markets have been shocking and sometimes downright terrifying. It's hard to know how to respond to the rapid-fire changes that have rocked the financial world -- especially when you're seeing your life savings vanish before your eyes.
Front and center in addressing the concerns of those most affected by the financial crisis is Fool retirement expert Robert Brokamp, who's been helping his Rule Your Retirement readers adapt their portfolios to ensure they'll be able to have a successful and comfortable retirement. Reading through his recent newsletter, I picked up a couple of good pieces of advice that investors of all ages should take to heart:
- In addition to beating down stock prices, the credit crunch has also created extraordinary values in bonds and other asset classes.
- Although you probably need to have at least some of your money invested in stocks, you can find stocks that won't keep you up at night.
I'm not going to talk about bonds -- to see Brokamp's comments on where he sees opportunities, feel free to look for yourself in this month's newsletter. Where I do want to go into more detail, though, is in picking the right stocks for you -- because if you really want to turn your savings into serious money, you just can't get the same long-term results anywhere else.
Stocks you can retire with
To find stability in a topsy-turvy world, start with two questions:
- What companies will survive in any kind of economy?
- What stocks will pay investors the income they need through good times and bad?
To find some examples of recession-proof industries, you don't have to look further than your checkbook. What do you pay for, month in and month out, no matter what? Things like food, utilities, medical bills -- these are things that people will find money for even when times are tough.
Yet, owning just any stocks in those defensive industries isn't enough for many investors, especially retirees. Stocks that pay good dividends have two advantages: They put real money in your pocket every quarter, and they necessarily have to be healthier businesses than those that don't have to produce immediate cash flow to pay shareholders.
7 stocks that meet the test
So without further ado, here are seven stocks that have done a good job weathering the storm so far:
1-Year Return
Current Dividend Yield
Consolidated Edison
Johnson & Johnson
Northwest Natural Gas
General Mills
Source: Yahoo Finance.
As it turns out, a lot of stocks in these industries pay decent dividend yields. But the stocks listed above also come with a stamp of approval from our Motley Fool CAPS community, as each of them has an above-average rating from our members of four or five stars.
Unfortunately, one lesson we've all learned recently is that even the safest-looking companies can turn out to surprise you. To learn more about fitting defensive stocks like these into a holistic portfolio designed to cushion the blow from those surprises, be sure to look at the rest of Robert Brokamp's advice in this month's Rule Your Retirement. Although it's a paid service, you can get the full scoop with a free 30-day trial.
Stocks may go up and down, but they don't have to drive you crazy -- if you're prepared. With the right portfolio, you can defeat the panic and stay on course to financial success.

One of our most loved models, Ken, is back this week! He told us he found a new talent, so I agreed I'd see what he had to offer. As you might remember he's a great dishwasher so that's the first thing he does here. Apparently though this boy's new talent is that he knows how to take all kinds of kitchen utensils...up his ass! From forks to a spatula, this cute twink's beautiful boyhole sucks it all up magnificently. At the same time, his big cock is stiff as a pickle. You can probably guess where this video is going, if you haven't already hit the 'play button' and started jerking off. I'm not sure if I'd want him to cook me a souffle, but Ken can come to my kitchen to wash my dishes in the nude and let me stick something up his ass as I suck his delicious dick anytime!

She is very busy as she has decided to play in the marching band at school and so she is at Band camp working 10 hours a day to be able to perform Friday at a Welcome picnic and through the season at all the home football games! Her room (a space about 12' x 5') is all set and squared away...funny thing is she had to call me the next morning to find where I had put her flat iron to straighten her hair!! I decided that's the best way to get your college kid to call you....hide stuff when you go to visit ;)
Here's a card I made using my copics and some Basic Grey Euphoria paper. This image is a froggy Ketto image from Stamping Bella. I don't have the image, it came with a WISH RAK but I certainly think I need it, don't you?! The colors of the card came out a bit differently in the picture than IRL...they are much more rich and dynamic, but I wanted to share it anyway :) I made one for my sister Kelly's birthday and one for a graduation card :) I also made a card for my sister Kristy's birthday, but it was ALL GLITTERY and the card would not photograph right, boo hoo...too much shininess!! Happy August birthdays to them though!!This is a picture that my DH took on his week long SOLO canoe trip in the Adirondacks. Isn't it beautiful. He came home safe and sound with only a big long rip in his leg. He's recovering though, poor thing!! :)
That's it for me today :) Be blessed! God is here with you! Everyday!

Iraqi authorities say a suicide car bombing in the northern city of Mosul has killed nine people.
Police say the attacker Tuesday blew up his vehicle outside the offices of the Kurdish political party the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan led by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.
To the south, at least six people were killed in clashes between supporters of an anti-American Shi'ite cleric - Mahmoud al-Hassani - and Iraqi troops in the Shi'ite holy city of Karbala.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has acknowledged that car bombs triggered the explosions that killed at least 63 Iraqis Sunday in Baghdad. The military says the blasts ruptured a gas line causing a residential building to collapse.
On Monday, U.S. Major General William Caldwell said explosives experts found no evidence of anything other than a gas explosion.
In Baghdad, the U.S. military says coalition forces have sealed off the capital's violent Dura district. The move is part of a broader push to stem rising sectarian violence.
Some information for this report was provided by Reuters.

Ant Hamlyn: My Artist Residency Blog, Part 2
01 July 2015
Artist Ant Hamlyn is currently in residence in FACTLab. For the next stage of developing his project, he sat down with fellow artist Radamés Ajna to discuss his idea and is now experimenting with compressed air and researching how to develop a pneumatic system.
'Pneumatics (Greek: πνευματικός which means "breath") is a branch of physics applied to technology that makes use of gas or pressurized air.'
Having never worked using this sort of system before I am excited to learn as the project evolves. The idea for the prototype is to construct a small pneumatic system controlled via solenoid valves (valves controlled electronically) to allow compressed air to enter and exit the balloon accordingly, monitoring the pressure using a gauge to keep the balloon from bursting. This system ideally is to be replicated on a much larger scale for the final installation. In order to inflate the balloon above the ground it is necessary to construct a small wooden maquette to act as leverage for the balloon. This will make it easier to attach any tubes and fittings and reduce the risk of bursting due to contact with the floor or other environments. It will also act as a very small version of the final inflation hanging from the rig in the foyer for the exhibition in December.
The first week of experimentation consisted of calculating the correct parts that will be needed to create the system. This became a complex procedure as each part would have to be ordered individually and must fit together with the correct gauges and threads. Originally we discussed building the system using 1/8'' gauge for all the valves, but after extensive research it appeared that 1/4'' valves and fittings are easier to come by. When working out the sizes that will fit together, careful consideration has been taken as tubing is measured in 'mm' and valves / gauges are measured in inches.
The second week, alongside ordering the necessary parts and researching pneumatic systems for the build, it has been necessary for me to begin to work with coding, particularly using Processing and Arduino. Attending Radames' Hack Nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays have acted as a perfect starting point to learn such a complex language. Because the installation intends to use an Arduino at the heart of the control system it is imperative that I actively engage and feel comfortable using this software.
During the week, you can find Ant in FACTLab, Gallery 2 if you'd like to find out more about the project.

Former Jets nose tackle Kris Jenkins fired shots at his old teammate Mark Sanchez last night on "Inside the NFL."
Jenkins said that Sanchez had a strong team around him in his first two years but did not improve.
"What Sanchez has to take responsibility for is during the time that he could have gotten better he wanted to sit back," said Jenkins.
Jenkins played with Sanchez in 2009-10, the two years the Jets made the AFC Championship game.
"He wanted to pose for magazines, worry about his haircuts and do all of that stuff. … I'm just saying, from what I saw him do, it was a lot better than what it is now."
"But he coasted. They coddled him. That was what was going on. This is a man's profession. You have to man up at some point in time and take care."
Jenkins said he does not think Sanchez should be a Jet next year.
"I think that if you leave Sanchez in that locker room he is going to become a bad apple … And the locker room has been fragile for the past two years," Jenkins said.
* The Jets tried out kicker Harvard Rugland on Tuesday, according to a source. Rugland is a Norwegian 28-year-old best known for his trick-kicking video on YouTube.
* Never put anything past the Jets.

Agricultural Drafting and Design
We know that our agricultural clients trust us with more than the drafting and design of a building. Designing for agriculture is about enhancing the livelihoods of some of our hardest-working clients. Our designs improve bottom lines and operational efficiency. Plus, they result in maximally strong structures that are fit to protect precious assets. With our agricultural services, we seek to provide nothing less than peace of mind.
For our Agricultural clients, we draft and design:
- barns (e.g. equestrian, poultry, hog, calf, drive-through, and hay storage)
- bunkers
- manure pits
- shops
- commodity sheds, including lean-tos
Our design and drafting process is rooted in building strong relationships with our clients, who are fully empowered to collaborate with us in the design process. Invariably, during this process, we become more than collaborators—we become friends.
First, we pinpoint 'true needs'. We start out by determining the "WHY" behind a desired project. Surprisingly, that's not always immediately easy to define. We explore the circumstances, motivations, and objectives of our clients so that we can create a design that truly satisfies their needs.
Then, we design the floor plan. We will draft as many designs as needed until the client is completely satisfied, and totally understands what the final product will be.
Next, we design the exterior of the building. During this phase, we use our state-of-the-art visualization tools, like 3-D rendering programs that help our clients to see and feel the structure we are designing. This eliminates guesswork or confusion prior to breaking ground.
Finally, we create the building plans. At this point, the vision fully comes together. We draft a plan for a building that will be constructed at the most reasonable cost, without delays, confusion, or conflict. The end result is nothing short of a vision realized.
Advantages for Agricultural Clients
- We have expertise in timber-frame construction, for buildings with time-honoured elegance and stability
- During the construction phase, our clients can access our network of trusted contractors who share our values
- Our designs are grounded in strong structures that save our clients money during the construction phase
- Our imaging and rendering tools help our clients to see and feel the design we are creating
- We are great collaborators—not only with our clients, but with a range of contractors, including interior designers, engineers, and even geo-tech engineers

Rating: 4/5
Publisher: Surprisingly Adequate Publishing
Publication Date: April 28, 2014
Origins: From Author for Review
Book Links: Amazon / Barnes & Noble
Synopsis: It has been one hundred days since the zombies claimed the world. Cash, along with forty-two survivors, have found safety in the secluded and well-guarded Fox National Park. The leaves are changing colors, a beautiful, brutal reminder that winter is coming. As the survivors prepare for freezing months without electricity and not enough food, they learn of massive zombie herds several hundred miles north…and headed their way.
To save the park, Cash must find a place for the survivors to hide from the migrating herds. If Cash and her small band of volunteers don't succeed by winter, the Fox survivors just may become Deadland's Harvest.
(Deadland's Harvest is a journey through Dante Alighieri's classic tale on the seven deadly sins… zombie apocalypse style!)
Series: Deadland Series
Review: Cash, Clutch, Jase, and the other members of Camp Fox are doing their best to survive. It's been 100 days since the zeds have taken over the world and there are few groups of humans left unmolested. They've learned to be ruthless about any survivors they find lest they let an infected person into their midst. One of the scariest things they've seen lately is huge migrating herds of zeds, cutting a swath right toward them. Now they must find a new place for their group to hide from the herds, but dealing with other humans is a treacherous business. Nothing is easy in this new world, but Camp Fox is determined to survive…
DEADLAND'S HARVEST follows directly after the events in 100 DAYS IN DEADLAND and this time the author takes her characters through the seven deadly sins. DEADLAND'S HARVEST is just as fast-paced with as many deadly dangers as the first book and you can really see the character growth. Clutch isn't just a hardened solider, he now has a family in Cash and Jase. Cash is a lot stronger than she was in the first book and it was good to see her come more to the forefront regarding negotiations and decision making for the group. I also loved Benji, a little boy with Down Syndrome, who shows there is still hope and goodness in the world. DEADLAND'S HARVEST has a natural flow and doesn't feel stilted or disjointed. I'm excited to see how the Deadland Saga concludes!

Bailgate Independent magazine was born 14 years ago following owners Tony and Mandy Copeland's move to Lincoln from London.
The couple set up Fire Works Design Ltd. (so called because it was sited in the old fire station in uphill Lincoln) and shortly after Bailgate Independent magazine.
The magazine initially concentrated on the uphill Bailgate area but has subsequently grown to cover the affluent residential and business areas of Lincoln and surrounding villages.
Bailgate Independent has developed into a unique publication in Lincoln by breaking the normal publishing design 'rules'. The result is an attractive publication which manages to have something for everyone and one which has and is, continuing to go from strength to strength in a very competitive market.
The magazine has a circulation of 10,000 and this can be verified with Ruddocks Design & Print of Lincoln. If you advertise in this magazine you can be sure that 10,000 copies are produced and delivered - ask most magazine publishers for verification on the amount they produce and most of them will shy away from a straight answer and definitely from verification from their printers.
Fire Works Design Ltd. continues to produce
graphic design solutions from corporate design to sales promotion.

Gender Differences in Investment Behavior
The objectives of this chapter are to identify significant personal and environmental factors that influence investment behavior and to specify the investment decision-making process, particularly with respect to female investors. It is expected that the results presented here will help readers to consider new approaches to investment education. Specifically, this chapter aims to: (a) explore differences between men and women in a variety of financial behaviors, investment decision-making process; (b) identify patterns of investment involvement and learning preferences; and (c) determine socio-economic and behavior factors that explain gender differences in specific investment behavior (portfolio diversification).

The group are:
Alex Vann (mandolin, bowed psaltery, bouzouki, zither, banjo, etc) is mandolinist with Spiro (Real World Records).
Pete Judge (trumpet, harmonium, lyre, dulcitone, tenor horn, glockenspiel, etc) is trumpeter with Get The Blessing (Naim Records).
Paul Bradley (acoustic guitar, miniature harp, tin whistle) is the one-man band for Fleur Darkin's Dance Company.
Here the group describes the creation of their new album:
Three Cane Whale's eponymous debut album was recorded in one location and in one day. Aware that our unusual (and entirely acoustic) instrumentation suited a range of natural acoustics and ambiences, and also that a lot of our compositions are inspired by particular places and landscapes, we decided to take a different approach with our new album. So the 19 tracks and 3 short interludes were recorded in 20 different locations.
The album title reflects this. Holts are the underground dens, and hovers the overground resting-places, of otters. This album was inspired by, and recorded in, some of our own holts and hovers - in Dorset, South Wales, Somerset, London and Bristol. These include churches and chapels, kitchens and hilltops, a greenwood barn and an allotment shed, the top of a Welsh waterfall and the underside of a Bristol flyover.
Some tracks were directly inspired by a particular location (eg Issio, by tiny Partrishow Church; Nightingale Valley Halt, by the disused station in the Avon Gorge; and The Trendle, by the iron-age earthwork of the same name up a Dorset hillside), whilst others had a slightly more tangential relationship with their final recording location.
All the tracks were recorded using exactly the same equipment, by this project's 'fourth whale': concertina player and producer Rob Harbron.
The set-up was breathtakingly simple: a portable hard-disk recorder (the size of a paperback book), out of which were run three individual microphones on stands. The recorder itself also features built-in ambient mics, so part of Rob's task was the careful positioning of himself to maximise the effectiveness of the latter.
Location photos show Rob in varying proximities to the band, standing or sitting, headphones clamped, but always an impressively still presence and voice of unerring wisdom.
harmonium, mandolin, guitar
greenwood barn, Leigh Woods, Bristol
in memory of Alan Peck
guitar, mandolin, trumpet
St Catherine's Chapel, Abbotsbury, Dorset
a celebration of collective monophobia
recorded on a day of climatic extremes: the steep walk up to this ruined chapel, with its 360-degree views of sea and land, took place in a Biblical deluge. In A-Production's film of this track (see band website), you can almost see the musicians' clothing steaming.
guitar, zither, dulcitone
El Rincón, North Street, Bristol
Glimmers of hope in the darkness. "Sudden windows appear on dark buildings / small universes wheeling peacefully" (Norman MacCaig)
The band's first public performance (in January 2010) took place in this wooden-floored tardis of a tapas bar
trumpet, guitar, Windsor Whirle banjo,
The Trendle, Cerne Abbas, Dorset
an iron-age earthwork guarded by a giant, in Alex's old stomping-ground of Dorset. Rob's sterling production work on this track seems unaffected by the gusting winds, chomping cattle, or occasionally passing helicopters.
bowed psaltery, guitar, trumpet
Partrishow Church, Black Mountains, South Wales
named after the hermit whose murder, by one of the travellers he'd been helping, prompted the building of this tiny church in the 11th-century. The band performed live here in June 2012
mandolin, harmonium, guitar, trumpet
above Blaen-y-Glyn Upper Falls, near Talybont-on-Usk, South Wales
recorded near one Welsh waterfall, but named after another (Scwd-yr-Eira in the Ystradfellte valley). A version of this track was used by Bristol's Encounters Short Film & Animation Festival for their 2012 trailer
dulcitone, harp, zither
Greville Smyth Community Bowls Club, Ashton, Bristol
in memory of children's street-games
guitar, bouzouki, harmonium
The Studio, Grove Villa, Craswall, Herefordshire
an elegy for the fading of daylight. 'Dayligone' is an old Ulster Scots word for dusk (discovered in a Michael Longley poem), and this track was recorded as dusk fell, in the lee of the Black Mountains
mandolin, guitar, harmonium
Nightingale Valley, Avon Gorge, Bristol
named after, and recorded at the site of, a railway station abandoned in 1932. Written for 'The History Of An Orange', Emma Lazenby's Channel 4 animation about her Citroen Dyane
guitar, trumpet, mandolin
Trefusis Hall, Cecil Sharp House, Camden, London
a tune for Pete's Kentish roots (Tumbling Bay is, mysteriously, in the middle of inland Kent – see Edward Thomas' poem "Lob"). For the Ramsgate Sollys. Recorded in the London home of English folk song and dance, in a downstairs room decorated with antlers
dulcitone, guitar, plucked & bowed psaltery
Puxton Church, Somerset Levels
the 'Sweet Track' is an ancient wooden causeway across the Somerset Levels, named after Ray Sweet, who discovered it. Puxton Church is an ancient place of worship in the same area, complete with leaning tower and oak box pews
bouzouki, trumpet, guitar
St. Basil's chapel, Toller Fratrum, Dorset
named after a beautiful unspoilt bay and small archipelago on the west coast of Scotland, overlooking Skye, but recorded in a tiny chapel in a remote corner of Dorset, with apples lining the pews
mandolin & bowed mandolin, guitar, dulcitone
Pete's kitchen, Southville, Bristol
a paean to the noble art of wavering, named after a Mendip hill (on the ridge just above the M5 through Somerset). Recorded in Pete's kitchen in Bristol, which is where the band began and where it continues to rehearse. We recently discovered that Wavering Down is also the name of the house where Frankie Howerd lived (near to the hill, in the village of Cross)
guitar, bouzouki, lyre
Shed 44, White City allotments, Bristol
thrown off the Clifton Suspension Bridge by their poverty-stricken Victorian father in 1896, Ruby and Elsie Brown survived thanks to their billowing dresses acting as parachutes in the up-currents. Recorded within sight of the bridge, in the communal shed at White City allotments (the allotments also feature on the inside cover of the band's first album)
mandolin, tin whistle, lyre, guitar, trumpet
the kitchen, Grove Villa, Craswall, Herefordshire
a fictional isolated farmhouse on the Black Hill in the Welsh border country, recorded in a real farmhouse at the foot of the Black Hill. 'The Vision' appears in Bruce Chatwin's 1982 novel "On The Black Hill", and is the name of the farmhouse where the central characters live. Recorded in the dead of night
mandolin, alto glockenspiel, guitar
the bandstand, Regent's Park, London
bicycle becomes time machine halfway between Lavender Hill and Kensal Rise
guitar, English concertina, rotary-valve tenor horn
the Kennedy Hall, Cecil Sharp House, London
alien pods discovered in a tube station (a reference to the classic 1950s sci-fi series, and later film, "Quatermass"; Hobb's End was the fictional underground station on a fictional extension of the Central Line in "Quatermass and the Pit"). Recorded in the London home of English folk song and dance, in the lovely wood-panelled hall on the ground floor
mandolin, guitar, trumpet
Rose Cottage, Cerne Abbas, Dorset
shaped like a Gryphon, and recorded in the front-room of a small cottage at the foot of the Trendle
(see track 4)
alto glockenspiel, chimes, guitar
under the Cumberland Basin flyover, Bristol Docks
inspired by, and named after, the first chapter of Melville's "Moby Dick", and recorded in one of Bristol's most striking dockside locations: underneath the booming Cumberland Basin flyover, just across the water from the remains of Brunel's original swing-bridge. 3CW trivia: the track "Sluice", from the band's first album, was inspired by Brunel's nearby lock-gates, and was first performed in this same location during the city's Brunel 200 celebrations

While living in Edinburgh, Scotland, my favorite month of the year was August. Why? Because of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (currently running in Scotland's capitol city).
At my first Fringe, I saw at least a hundred plays. Then I lost count.
Three of the plays I saw over the years – Playing it Cool, Stuck Up A Tree and Mousewings – remain especially important to me, because they were mine. They were markers of what I accomplished each year I was in Edinburgh, and now when I look at them there are so many memories crushed up between their lines it's like opening a photo album.
Playing it Cool, a romantic dramedy that takes place in my home town of Buffalo, New York, had its world premiere at the Pend Theatre at the now-defunct Gateway Campus of Queen Margaret University. It's the earliest of the three plays, and I was astonished to see, while watching videos of the production, how much stronger it played on film than in the tiny pend theater. It taught me the necessity of using space well in theater, and of making physicality a necessary part of your script. This would come in handy on my next Fringe play – which you'll hear more about in the future – Stuck Up A Tree.
But back to PiC. Through the Buffalo theater community, including playwriting professors, local directors and adjunct faculty, and the support of the head of the University at Buffalo's theater department, we received funding for two actors and the local director to travel to Scotland and perform Playing It Cool for a week's run.
Other than a few attempts at getting the shows picked up, I haven't done much with these play scripts, and it occurred to me the other day that this is one of the problems with playwrights: our work may be staged, but what happens once the curtains fall down?
Over the next few months, I plan to release the scripts for my three Edinburgh Fringe plays on Amazon; likely through KDP. This will require formatting and artwork, as well as some thought about how I want to package each piece. So it's going to take me some time. Ultimately, it's likely a hard copy version containing all three plays may be available. I'm trying not to think about the details too much just yet, and come up with a good over-arcing strategy – advice welcomed.
The three plays are very different – romance, a children's show, and a post-apocalyptic tale of class conflict & survival – and form an interesting snapshot of my early playwriting career. I'm excited (and a little terrified!) to be sharing them with you – part of why I'm writing this blog, because it makes this more of a promise. Now you can bug me about this, if I drag my feet.

I think the Steelers like to see how ugly they can make their uniforms.
So the Lions just got royally screwed.
Why isn't there any AFC football on?
Stains 20 Steelers 14 .... SEVEN turnovers (3 interceptions 4 fumbles PLUS 4 more the Steelers recovered) ... 9 penalties ... 6 punts. Hail Mary full of grace .... !!!!
As someone who went to college 30 miles east of Cleveland!
Condolences ... was it cold?
Bummer. Do we start replacing "bummer" with "Sanchezface"?
Only bandwagon glory hounds "quit" when things get bad.
Things have pretty much always been bad for Jets fans
Oh YEAH! And snowy. I was an Ed major and we helped out in local schools. We went in a blizzard one.. Actually Cleveland vs Pittsburgh was huge on campus because we were 60 miles west of Pittsburgh! There were huge banners on separate sides of.the cafeteria.
Sounds like Youngstown. LOL Seems I had a conversation on the board sometime ago about the Terriers of Hiram College. Don't remember who it was but they said the campus was divided. Anyway, my hometown is about as far west as you can get in PA. It was so far west that the closest hospital was in OH. I was born in OH. As a youngster, I remember watching Browns and Steelers games (when the weather was right) on TV. Never was a Browns hater like a lot of other Steelers' fans.

Without a doubt, the most import element of your photography business is not necessarily the type of camera you use, the style of photos you shoot, or how many clients you have. While these are all important elements in their own right, the most important part of your business is you. Whether you shoot with Nikon or Canon, have 10 clients or 1000, the driving forces behind your business are you and your own, unique vision.
That's quite a lot of pressure, isn't it?
However, this same pressure is what can make or break you as a photographer, because you have the choice to either let the pressure overwhelm your personal life, or to turn the pressure into energy that you can channel into growing your business.
In this post, I will highlight some of the ways that I, and countless others I know, have found to make the most of my time, while still prioritizing those who are closest to me. As photographers and especially business owners, it can be very easy for us to become overwhelmed by our workload, and neglect aspects of our lives that need constant tending. These aspects can range anywhere from taking care of ourselves, to spending time with our families, to having other interests, besides photography, that make us feel whole and well-rounded.
Why Maximize Your Time?
Let's look at the basics first, and consider the element of time constraints. We all lead extremely busy lives! If you are completely self-employed, making the most of your time, and setting yourself a schedule, are extremely important and can help you make more time for the people in your life.
Last October, I left my job in retail to pursue photography full-time. At first, I thought that being able to make my own hours and work in my PJ's all morning was the easiest thing ever, but I soon realized that I had no set schedule for myself, so I was actually in a downward spiral of low productivity. I had a load of things that needed to be done, but I had no idea how to prioritize them. The result was, a few months later, feeling overwhelmed by my workload, and working 16 hours a day trying to stay caught up, which in turn meant that I wasn't giving my personal relationships, or myself, the time they needed to thrive.
A Daily Schedule
After reading an interview with Jasmine Star in which she stressed the importance of her daily schedule, I set a similar schedule for myself, and things immediately started to get better. It felt great to have consistency in my day, and I also started maximizing my time, so that I actually spent less time working, and more time with my family. Below is an example of my schedule, and a couple of notes on why certain aspects of the schedule work.
8:30am – Wakeup, get coffee and breakfast. Even if you are not a breakfast person, try to eat something, because it is a proven fact that having a healthy breakfast will help you be more productive throughout the day.
9:00am – Answer emails. I try to prioritize the most important emails first, because it is easy to get stuck on emails all day, and I do my best not to answer emails in the afternoon when I am with my family or having "me" time, unless they're extremely important.
10:00am – Check Facebook, Google+, Flickr and Twitter. We all know how important social-networking sites are for growing our business, so I try to devote an hour a day to posting, and commenting on others' posts.
11:15am – Take a break. Everyone is different when it comes to how long they can work before they loose focus, but since I have always had difficulty focusing on a task, I find that I work better in 1 hour bursts, with a short break after.
11:30am – Edit photos, work on blog posts.
12pm – Lunch
1pm – Call clients to schedule meetings and to follow up on previous shoots.
2pm – 3pm - My day usually ends here, unless I have an appointment in the afternoon. I will answer any high priority emails that come in, and will also browse Flickr and Pinterest to look at photos that interest me, and I will add them to my "inspiration" folders.
Now, this schedule is just what works for me, but something completely different may work for you. Maybe you have an 8-5 job, and need to work on your photography business in the evenings, or if you work nights, you would need to devote your afternoon hours to photography.
The point is, though, that with a set schedule, and having a to-do list of high priority tasks, you are much more likely to get a lot accomplished, and then have plenty of time left over for you and your family. Most of us are creatures of habit, and we thrive when we have some sort of routine. Having a schedule will give you direction, and also help you avoid having work pile on top of itself until it is completely unmanageable.

Fifteen more years of useful service. In 2010, that was the goal of an Airbus Helicopters modification program for German Air Force CH-53G Stallion heavy transport helicopters. Over the past years, these green giants have been getting modernized cockpits, new avionic and warfare suites and countless other upgrades.
The end is near for the modification program, delivering fourty modernized helicopters to the German Air Force. They are known as CH-53GA, signifying 'Germany Advanced'. As it should.
In the Airbus Helicopters Military Support Center (MSC) in Donauwörth, Germany, well over a dozen Sikorsky CH-53s receive attention. Among them are the last of fourty of these airborne workhorses to be upgraded to CH-53GA. When done, the upgrade shows itself by no uncertain means in the cockpit, where avionics and communications systems almost identical to those used in the NH90 and Tiger attack helicopter, present themselves to awaiting pilots. All is contained in a completely new glass cockpit.
Miles away
With five multi-function displays, the new cockpit is miles away from the analogue workplace it used to be. "We're taking out all the old mechanical instruments and we put in multifunctional displays that provide the crew with enormous flexibility and increased efficiency", says Michael Hoofdmann, head of programs at the MSC.
A huge upgrade is the newly designed four-axis autopilot with auto-hover automatic flight control system that is similar to the NH90's auto pilot. An electronic warfare system for threat recognition and electronic self-protection protects crews in hostile environments. A forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensor turret is also part of the update.
Four decades
The first modernized Stallion was handed back to the German Air Force in 2012, close to four decades after the first of 110 helicopters were introduced in German service. Externally, the CH-53GA lacks the big fuel tanks that identified the past CH-53GS update, a program that mainly served to add personnel recovery and extraction capabilities. An internal fuel tank has been installed in the latest variant instead.
The current German fleet consist of forty CH-53GA and 26 remaining CH-53GS/GE helicopters (of which 20 GS and 6 GE), adding up to 66 in total. To examine the remaining service life, one CH-53G has been completely dismantled and inspected for signs of fatigue at Donauwörth. The fleet saw extensive use over the last decades, deploying to Afghanistan and Kosovo. In the same timeframe, all remaining helicopters were transferred from the Germany Army to the German Air Force. The NH90 took the CH-53's place in the Army.
Updated or not, truth is the Stallion is in the twilight of its career. Berlin is looking at its options, being either the CH-47F Chinook or… the CH-53K. The 'Kilo' is the latest incarnation of the Stallion, seeing its first flight just last year. There is no road map yet for a purchase, but it seems likely the Germans will decide on a new heavy transport helicopter in the next two or three years. Deliveries are still at least six years away.
Until then, the CH-53GA is the tool of the trade when it comes to heavy helicopter transport in Germany. "They are now state of the art again", concludes Michael Hoofdmann. "No more upgrades needed for these helicopters."

To do:
1) Choose from any of these hyper-surveilled storage reservoirs in the Pacific Northwest.
2) Excavate "teacup" basins in a plaza. Downscale their dimensions in proportion to the reservoirs selected in (1) so they will all fit within the installation site.
3) Ring the basin interior with concentric steps-cum-seats.
4) Hack into the servers of the U.S. Department of the Interior where the data on water levels at the reservoirs is collected and parsed. (Or does the bureau have an API?)
5) Re-network the flow of data from these real-world reservoirs, so that not only will the numbers get rendered into info-porn, they will also determine the water levels of your simulant reservoirs.

Method 13 for PC to TCP conversions
The method shown in Figure 65 has the following characteristics:
- It is used for conversion between an input PC CCSID and an output TCP CCSID
- The valid encoding schemes for input data are X'2100', X'3100', X'2200', X'2300', X'2305', X'3200', and X'3300'. The valid output encoding scheme is X'5404'
- Input is always expected in a normalized two-byte format
- The conversion table created will handle either single-byte or double-byte code points from the input CS, CP pair to a possible single-byte, double-byte or triple-byte output CS, CP, as determined by the TCP encoding scheme
- CS, CP pair priorities for the TCP CCSID
- Matched GCGID priority within a CS, CP pair
- Mismatch management criteria
- Space character management.
- Since many double-byte encodings do not use all available first-byte values as ward numbers, the conversion table will contain one record for each valid ward and one additional record for all invalid wards. Each record will contain 256 four-byte entries
- Invalid single-byte code points (X'00xx') will be mapped into the single-byte character SUB, at code point X'1A'. Invalid double-byte values will be mapped into the following:
- Japan - X'747E'
- Korea - X'2F7E'
- Traditional Chinese - X'7D7E'
- Simplified Chinese - X'2121'
- The high-order byte of each output code point value will contain the identifier 1 to 4 for graphics or 0 for a control character.

Today, in the wake of special master for compensation Kenneth Feinberg's decision to significantly restrict compensation at the seven companies under his office's purview, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) "is mulling a law to apply the new rules to all public companies." CNBC picked up on the Journal's claim, and has been reporting over and over that Schumer wants to cap pay at every company in the U.S. Watch a compilation:
This seemed like pretty earth-shattering legislation — essentially proposing a pay regulator for everyone — so I called Schumer's press office to clarify. His spokesman called the Wall Street Journal's reporting "incorrect" and explained that Schumer is actually advocating that Feinberg apply the "Shareholder's Bill of Rights" to the seven companies that he oversees.
That makes a lot more sense. Schumer introduced the Shareholder's Bill of Rights in May with Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and the bill lays out a series of provisions aimed at improving corporate governance — and hopefully reining in corporate excess — by empowering shareholders with more influence over their company's decisions. The bill would:
– Implement "say-on-pay," which mandates that shareholders hold a non-binding vote on their company's compensation packages; – Require that companies allow shareholders access to the company's ballot if they want to nominate directors for the board, require board directors to receive at least 50 percent of the vote in uncontested elections in order remain on the board, and require all board directors to face re-election annually;
– Mandate that companies split the jobs of CEO and Chairman of the Board and that public companies create a separate risk committee comprised of independent directors.
"These companies are the poster children for the total breakdown in corporate governance and lack of effective board oversight that contributed to the recent crisis, and I believe these reforms are critical if the government is serious about turning these companies around," wrote Schumer in a letter to Feinberg.
And applying these provisions to all publicly traded companies would actually be a great idea, since management incompetence seriously contributed to America's last two business booms (and subsequent busts). During both the dot-com and mortgage bubbles, corporate managers failed to rein in excessive risk-taking and irrational speculation, or resorted to accounting gimmicks to hide massive losses.
And management was utterly unaccountable to shareholders, who under America's corporate governance structure are all but powerless to exert influence. They have no say over compensation, and if they want to place directors on the board, they have to expend millions to send out their own, separate ballot, while the current board sends a ballot on the company's dime.
My guess is that CNBC's crew wouldn't like this any more than the proposal that it's imagining — but the criticism should at least be levied at something that actually exists!

Jim Bugaren is well aware of the state's ongoing budget woes. But he never realized the financial troubles could affect fishing from a boat.
The Schaumburg resident, a retired railroad employee, bought a 16-foot, 60-horsepower Lund fishing boat in March.
He submitted the necessary paperwork and $52 in fees through a nearby currency exchange. The currency exchange, in turn, sent the documents and a check to the state Department of Natural Resources, which handles boat registrations.

Dying Centaur
William Rimmer (American (born in England), 1816–1879)
Overall: 53.3 x 61cm (21 x 24in.) Other (Overall): 68.6cm (27in.)
Accession Number
Medium or Technique
Not On View
The powerful musculature and complex pose of the Dying Centaur reveal William Rimmer's unusual background as a physician and self-taught artist. The son of a cobbler who believed he was a lost descendant of French royalty, Rimmer grew up in Boston, where he displayed an early aptitude for art and dabbled in a variety of trades. While pursuing a painting career as a young man, he studied anatomy and soon began his own practice as a self-taught physician in Brockton and later in Milton, Massachusetts. His early and untutored experiments in sculpture caught the attention of Stephen H. Perkins, a wealthy Boston patron who came to champion Rimmer's career. Rimmer soon gained a measure of fame as a sculptor and art teacher noted for his understanding of human anatomy.
Dying Centaur depicts a familiar mythological subject without the classical restraint and calm of contemporary Neoclassical sculpture. Rimmer portrayed the sprawling figure in a moment of physical and spiritual anguish, one truncated arm extended heavenward as if imploring aid from the gods. The figure's raw emotion may reflect the influence of French artist Antoine-Louis Barye's romantic and violent animal sculptures, popular at this time. The work may also be an autobiographical statement about Rimmer's own melancholy, expressing his feelings of isolation and disappointment at the lack of adequate recognition during his lifetime. Immediately after his death, the Rimmer Memorial Committee selected Dying Centaur as the first of his compositions to be cast in bronze, and in 1880 the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, held an important memorial exhibition of the artist's work.

The Hazard House is an exciting educational tool that can be used to teach children (and adults) about fire and life safety. The Hazard House naturally appeals to the energy and imagination of children, holding their attention for long periods of time. What happens if I plug too many electrical appliances into one outlet? What should I do when the smoke detector beeps? How far away from the curtains should I place my space heater? What is the best way to put out a grease fire on the stove? Do I need an escape ladder for my house? Answers for these important questions (and for many more) can be demonstrated effectively using the simulated Hazard House. Programs are available and can be conducted for most classes in 30 minutes or less. If you are interested in having the Hazard House visit your classroom or come to your community event, please call 240-777-2463.
We would all like to believe that our children would know how to report an emergency in the home. But would they? Calling 9-1-1 can be a stressful event even for an experienced adult. A fun and interactive device, the 9-1-1 Simulator gives children the opportunity to practice calling 9-1-1 before an emergency occurs. Each child picks up a realistic telephone receiver and dials 9-1-1. A recorded voice then asks them to respond to a series of questions that simulate the types of questions asked during a true emergency. Amplified through speakers, as well as through the telephone receiver, the rest of the class can hear each question and answer. What is the emergency? What is your name? What is your address? Are you home now? While seemingly simple questions, most children must practice to be able to answer them effectively. Equally important, the simulator teaches children not to hang up on the 9-1-1 operator until they are told to do so. A fun and easy exercise, a complete 9-1-1 program can be provided for most classes in 30 minutes or less. If you are interested in having the 9-1-1 simulator in your classroom, please call 240-777-2463.
A highly effective and innovative technique for introducing young children to basic fire safety concepts, puppet shows are now available for all preschool, kindergarten and first-grade classes in Montgomery County. Puppet shows also may be provided for other children's organizations and at certain public events. Fire safety puppet shows can be conducted for most classes in 30 minutes or less.

Pre-Health Professions
Interested in a career in the medical field?
Then you should know that some of the best physicians and other health-care professionals started out in the liberal arts. Think about it.
What makes a good doctor?
When someone posed this question on Twitter, 200 people replied. Their top two responses: having empathy, and being a good listener.
Top on babycenter.com's list of signs of a good doctor are "a caring, sincere, and empathetic attitude" and "an open and responsive manner."
One commentator said, "Most people assume physicians meet a threshold of intelligence, knowledge, and judgment, and therefore what differentiates good doctors from mediocre ones is the 'soft' stuff."
The "soft stuff"--empathy and good communication skills--is the realm of the liberal arts.
Consider this: About ¾ of medical students majored in a science, but medical schools want to diversify. A medical school student who majored in religion commented, "If you do well in your science courses, it's probably to your advantage to be a non-science major because you're contributing to the school's diversity."
The fact is, you can major in what you love the most, and where you do your best, while you also fulfill a minor in Pre-Health Professions to get the math and science you'll need to do well on the MCAT or become a dentist, a chiropractor, a veterinarian, or physician's assistant.
You can still participate in one of the College's exciting learning communities during your first year as long as you take a lab science in your first semester, preferably chemistry.
Courses required to earn the Pre-Health Professions minor are:
General Biology I and II (BIOL 111 and 112) with labs: 8 credits
General Chemistry I and II (CHEM 121 and 122) with labs: 10 credits
Other Science/Applied Science/Social Science prerequisite courses relevant to goal discipline: 12 credits (eg, Organic Chemistry I and II, Physics for Life Sciences I and II with labs, Biochemistry I and II, Microbiology with lab, Anatomy & Physiology I and II with labs, Cadaver Anatomy, Nutrition, Sociology, Abnormal Psychology)
Calculus (MATH 104) or Biostatistics (MATH 125 or 225): 3 credits
Introduction to Psychology (PSYC 101): 3 credits
Total Credits = 36 credits
The Pre-Medical and Health Professions Program is a University-wide program for students interested in pursuing a career in medical and health professional programs. Students in the program meet regularly with a Pre-Medical and Health Professions advisor to evaluate the student's academic progress and receive professional guidance regarding volunteer and community service, academic and standardized test requirements.
Meet Mark Stoddard
Mark graduated with a B.S. in biology and a B.A. in Spanish from Duquesne, then worked as a researcher at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. He is currently a MSTP (Medical Science Training Program, or M.D.-Ph.D.) student at the University of Pennsylvania, where he is doing research on the hepatitis C virus.

The suffix -stan on place names is usually associated with Asian countries or regions eg Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Baluchistan and many others. Today, however, when reading something on early English history, I came across the Battle of Degsastan, fought in AD603 between Aedan, king of Dál Riata, an old kingdom on the west coast of Scotland, and Æthelfrith, king of Northumbria. No-one these days knows where exactly Degsastan was, although it's certainly not in Central Asia. There are other Old English names (of people and places) ending or beginning stan, too, eg Æthelstan, Dunstan and various places (in Gloucestershire, and Suffolk, eg) called Stanton, plus the common first name and surname Stanley.
The two 'stans' have different etymologies. The stan prefix denoting an Asian country goes back to the Sanskrit sthāna, meaning 'dwelling place'. The Old English stan was rock, stone, or rocky place.

PGA Award Strengthens The Artist
The Oscar front-runner triumphs yet again.
If there were any Oscar precursor that could knock The Artist from its longtime perch as this year's front-runner for Best Picture, it would have been last night's Producer's Guild ceremony, where last year, critical favorite The Social Network lost to the surging The King's Speech. That sort of upset didn't happen this time around, though: The Artist yet again triumphed, as its producer Thomas Langmann won the PGA's equivalent award for Best Picture. During this awards season, it seems that The Artist's silence is golden.
