A powerful way to combine media literacy and writing is through the use of photo essays.
At the same time, however, as I look at the photo sites available on line, an alarm bell goes up. We have the responsibility to select photos for our various units and must be careful. In fact, we should be just as cautious about photos and paintings we choose to show as we are about readings that we include in our units. Otherwise we run the risk of perpetuating stereotypes.
Please, as we move into this era of instruction that encourages and, in some settings, requires diversity and multi-cultural images in our presentations, let's strive to make ethnicity incidental to our selections, and if not incidental, balanced. We're careful to ensure that our students are not led to assume that a writer from a particular socio-economic level, race, region, nationality or religion speaks for everyone in that specific segment of society; we also should choose a balanced range of images to portray the themes in the units we plan.
As often as we can, dear friends, let's be sensitive to the diversity of the students in our schools and in our world. There are zillions of photos out there. Let's do our best to portray different groups the way we'd like to be portrayed if our own photos were in the mix.
See TED talk by Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story someone else recommended in another thread.
Here are links to photo essay recommended by educators:

"It is a kind of painting that rather changes in character, and takes on a richness the longer you look at it. Besides, you know, Gauguin likes them extraordinarily. He said to me among other things - 'That...it's...the flower.' You know that the peony is Jeannin's, the hollyhock belongs to Quost, but the sunflower is somewhat my own."
Vincent Van Gogh
The sunflower is a magnificent flower, probably the happiest and brightest of them all. One can't help but to smile and cheer up in its presence. It's no wonder that this is my GF's favorite flower.

Interpreting for the Media: Spotlight on the fast-moving world of the multi...
Sales Have Ended
Sales Have Ended
The Interpreting Division invites you to the first CPD event of their 2017/18 programme.
10:30-11:00: Coffee and welcome
11:00-11:45: "Interpreting for television news", with Dominique Lambert MCIL
Dominique has been a full-time translator-interpreter for the last 16 years and runs Lambert Languages, a London-based company providing in-house translations into French and into English, mainly in the legal sector and for agencies. Interpreting for the media takes-up about 20% of his time, and very much depends on current affairs and whether it is of interest or not to an English-speaking audience. Although Dominique is a generalist, most of his experience is in international affairs. He has interpreted the last four French Presidents live for most of the major TV stations. He started in 2003 with the French Foreign Minister's speech at the United Nations at the time of the Iraq war, and has been pretty busy ever since. The subjects have ranged from France's foreign policy, to the Euro crisis, internal domestic affairs and terrorism.
Dominique will talk in particular about the importance of gaining wide-ranging general knowledge of current affairs and associated vocabulary. He is convinced that extensive translation work is key and he and his team translate up to 300,000 words a month – they are still learning, but the experience is invaluable for interpreting.
11:45-12:30: "Interpreting the World", with Alexander Kan
Alexander is an English-to-Russian and Russian-to-English translator and interpreter with a vast experience of translation and interpreting work. In the 1980s and 1990s, as a freelance interpreter in his native Leningrad / St. Petersburg, he worked at high-flying political events including talks between the City Governor and visiting US senators, diplomats and Vice-President Albert Gore. He also worked with media: TV, radio and print journalists who were flooding the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia at the time of the country's radical post-communist transformation. The work also included business talks, scientific and academic conferences, art events, etc. Since moving to the UK in 1996 his interpreting was focused mainly in the media world, primarily for BBC World TV, where he is the principal Russian simultaneous interpreter for every live appearance of President Putin, Foreign Minister Lavrov and other Russian officials.
Alexander will share his experience of translating/interpreting for the media, focusing on challenges of simultaneous interpreting and the need to be flexible in the smooth shift from simultaneous to consecutive.

To Go Please TanyabyConversations©
"Hi! Sorry I'm late."
"That's okay. I ordered us a bottle of wine while I was waiting, since it's your turn to pay."
"Let's see what you got... Hey, not bad! Have you been learning about wine, or was this just a lucky choice?"
"If you must know, I recently dated a guy who was both knowledgeable and patient enough to teach me, unlike you!"
"Don't be snarky; I thought we'd agreed to let bygones be bygones at these six-monthly dinners."
"You're right; I'm sorry. Fill up my glass, why don't you?"
"Here you go... This place is new, isn't it?"
"Yes, it opened about three months ago. I come here a lot since I live just around the corner."
"So, tell me: How are the twins?"
"When did you last hear from them?"
"Marty emails me whenever he needs money, but I haven't really heard from Suzy since the divorce... except for a cool message every Father's Day."
"Yes, she used to worship you, you know, and our divorce hit her really hard. Thirteen is a difficult age for an upheaval like that."
"So is thirty-five! But it's been - what? - seven years now, for God's sake! How much longer is she going to hate me?"
"It's not just you. She says she hates all men."
"Oh, well, that's a relief! Seriously, I thought she'd grow out of it once she went away to college."
"Me too, but it's stronger than ever."
"What about her friends?"
"Well, that's part of the problem. She's really close to her college roommate, and they... er... you know..."
"They what?"
"Must I spell it out for you? They... sleep together."
"Well, of course they do; they're roommates. Oh! You mean... they sleep together, as in sleep together?"
"How do you know?"
"I came home early from work one afternoon when Suzy was last home from college, and there were... you know... noises coming from her bedroom."
"Gasping, moaning, shouts of 'Yes, Oh, YES! Do that again!' I thought she had a boyfriend with her and he was... er... fucking her, if you'll pardon the expression."
"We did enough of that back when we were together! I remember you were pretty vocal, too."
"Yes... well, anyway, I didn't want to interrupt them. She's twenty now - almost twenty-one - and we've had the talk. You know, the detailed one."
"What? Pregnancy; contraception; STDs?"
"She knew all that when she was twelve! No, this one covered who does what to whom and in what positions; all the major erogenous zones (his and hers); the pros and cons of each of the major orifices (his and hers); sex toys; threesomes; group sex... What am I missing?"
"You know about all that stuff?"
"Well, I've read a bit. And there's always the internet. And it has been seven years, you know. Time hasn't stood still."
"Neither have you, by the sound of it! I wish I'd been a fly on the wall! What did you say?"
"I tried to be up-front about it, of course, but I did get embarrassed when she asked if I'd ever had sex with another woman. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, she's an adult and on her own now, at least when it comes to sex. So, I made myself a cup of tea and sat reading the evening paper, waiting for them to finish.
"Imagine my surprise - and theirs! - when Suzy walked into the kitchen - stark naked, no less! - followed by her roommate, also naked. It had been years since I'd seen a naked girl, and - I wouldn't say this to anyone else - my heart just lurched, you know?"
"You? Turned on by seeing Suzy naked? I don't believe it!"
"I bet you would have been! Anyway, it wasn't so much Suzy as her roommate. She is absolutely gorgeous: long dark hair, a face and body to die for, lovely pert breasts with big nipples like raspberries and the cutest little ass you've ever seen... with the possible exception of Pippa Middleton's, of course. You're drooling!... Oh, excuse me!"
"Good evening, ma'am. It's good to see you again."
"Hello, Tanya! Likewise."
"Good evening, sir. My name is Tanya and I'll be taking care of you tonight. Do you see anything you fancy, ma'am?"
"You know I do, Tanya! But would you tell us about tonight's Chicken Special, please?"
"Certainly, ma'am; it's very... special. The chef takes two thighs and kneads them until they're soft and tender. Then when they're moist and ready, he skewers them and stuffs them with his own sauce. He tried it out on me, and believe me... It's something else!"
"It certainly sounds like something else! I think I'll have the very special Special, please."
"And for you, sir?"
"The Special for me too, please, Tanya."
"Certainly, sir. And it comes with a salad. You don't like dressing, do you ma'am?"
"No; I'll be undressed as usual, please Tanya."
"And I'll get undressed for you, ma'am, just as soon as I can. I hope it won't be too long. And for you, sir?"
"Can you give me a little bit of French on the side, please, Tanya?"
"Certainly, sir; that can be good too. I'll get these orders in right away."
"What's gotten into you? Were you two flirting? You're old enough to be her mother, for God's sake!"
"Well, she is quite cute and she's got this great sense of humor. Did you notice how her eyes twinkled as she described the Special? Just your cup of tea, I'd have thought."
"You have loosened up since we were married!"
"Welcome to the new me."
"Well, then, new you: Go on about Suzy and her gorgeous bedmate. What did they do?"
"Well, you know Suzy... she could rise to any occasion. Cool as a cucumber, she said:
'Oh, hello Mom; you're home early!' and went to the fridge to get herself something to drink!
'Why don't you introduce me to your friend?' I asked. The poor girl was standing there trying to hide herself behind the kitchen table.
'Sorry! Babs, this is my Mom. Mom, this is Babs. We're lovers.'
'Umm... Yes, so I gathered. Hello, Babs. Welcome! I'm sorry I wasn't here when you came.'
'Mom! I cannot believe you just said that! You're not going to be snarky about this, are you? We're both old enough to choose whom to love. Don't knock it till you've tried it!'
"She was serious, for God's sake! My own daughter was urging me to try out for the other team!"
"That's my Suzy!"
"Anyway, I was finding it difficult to tear my eyes away from Babs, who noticed me looking her over and was blushing furiously and trying to cover herself, like Venus in that Botticelli painting.
"But later that night, as I lay in bed listening to them make love yet again, I found my hand creeping in between my legs and images of being with another woman filled my head. I came with a delicious intensity that I'd all but forgotten."
"Oh, my dear; this is a new direction for you! Did you follow up on it?"
"I'll need some more wine before I can tell you that! In the meantime, tell me: How's life with you?"
"Oh, pretty drab."
"Even drabber. It's my turn to teach the course on Keats; and to quote one of my brighter students: 'A thing of duty is a bore forever'."
"That's worth an A, right there! How about sex?"
"What? Right now?"
"It's the drabbest."
"That doesn't sound like you."
"Oh, you know... I keep getting older and the girls keep getting younger. Where's it all going to end? Just the other day it came to me that middle age is the punishment you get for having once been young!"
"Do you want to have a good whine about it?"
"A good whine with a good wine? Yes, please! I've taken up writing erotica in my copious spare time. Don't look at me like that; someone's got to do it, and it pays better than essays on Keats!
"But let me tell you about this one time - it must have been about two months ago. It was Saturday evening around ten-thirty, and I was walking home across campus... All right, I'll be honest - I was cruising! - when this young girl accosted me:
'Hey, Mister! If you buy me a drink, I'll let you fuck me.'
'Aren't you a little young for that?'
'Which? I'm old enough to fuck; just not old enough to drink. 'S why I need you to get it f'me.'
"I should have walked on by, but I hadn't been laid in weeks and I was feeling desperate, so I said:
'I've got some booze in my apartment. Would that do?'
'What booze?'
'All sorts.'
'Okay. 'S a deal.'
'Hey... Nice place you've got here.'
'Thank you. What'll you have?'
'Umm... Rum 'n' Coke? Lots of rum, easy on the Coke.'
'Please yourself. I think I'll have some wine. So, what's your name?'
'Umm... You can call me Suzy.'
'What d'you mean 'No'?'
'You need to choose a different name.'
'Dumped you, did she? All right, Pops. I'll be Gloria - that do you?'
"'Pops', for God's sake! I was already beginning to regret this pick-up. 'Gloria' sat back on the settee opposite me, chewing gum and swilling rum and Coke from a cut-glass tumbler as if it were Kool-Aid. In the light, I could see that she was even younger than I'd thought - nineteen, maybe? She was wearing blue denim shorts that barely covered her ass, and an orange elastic tube top that left her pierced belly-button with its inevitable hardware exposed and glinting.
'Hungry, Pops? Not had any recently? Mix me 'nother one, 'kay? Then maybe I'll see to your needs.'
"God! Was this what I was reduced to? Trading drinks for sex with a girl who was younger than my daughter?
"Somewhere deep inside my head, I felt lust and shame preparing for battle. But I'd been here before and thought I knew just how to tilt the battlefield: I refreshed her drink, took another large gulp of my wine and waited for it to hit bottom.
'By the way, Pops; the deal is for straight sex, 'kay? No kinky stuff. And you'll wear a rubber; I've got one if you need one. And you won't stop till I tell you, 'kay? 'S why I like older men; they find it harder to get their rocks off... All the better for me.'
'Don't you have a boyfriend?'
'Several, and some girlfriends too. Trying to work out which I like best.'
'And how's that going for you?'
'Well, the guys mostly just want to fuck me... you know? No flowers, no foreplay, nothing to make a girl feel special. To them, I'm just another cunt... or another asshole, if I let them go there.
'The girls? They mostly want romance: they want to read poetry, fall in love, and hear extravagant promises that I've always forgotten making by next morning. So, somewhere between the two I'm looking for the zipless fuck - you know, like in 'Fear of Flying'?'
"She'd read Erica Jong? That's a surprise."
"It's assigned reading in my freshman English class; she'd probably read the Cliff Notes. It occurred to me that I may already have had this girl... academically speaking, that is.
'Okay, Pops. I'm getting a nice buzz on now. We'd better fuck before I pass out. You ready?'
"The spirit was willing, but the flesh? The flesh seemed to have decided all on its own that this one wasn't for me. Despite the wine, lust was in danger of being trounced by shame. I don't know whether the problem was her incessant gum-chewing, her resemblance to Suzy, or her offhand approach to intimacy. Intimacy! I'd never felt less intimate in my life! But whatever it was, my body felt dead from the waist down.
'This must be how it feels to be impotent,' I thought. 'What on earth am I going to do?'"
"Could move your elbow?"
"It wasn't my elbow I was worried about! Oh! Sorry, Tanya. Yes, of course."
"Thank you, sir. Here's your little bit on the side. And yours, ma'am."
"Stark naked, I promise. Will there be anything else?"
"I hope so, Tanya... But we're okay for the time being."
"Go on, then. I'm longing to hear how you got out of this one."
"Well... without breaking eye contact, she stripped off her orange tube top to reveal a pair of teenage breasts that would normally have had me salivating. Both nipples wore little silver rings that matched her belly button ornament.
'Didn't that hurt?'
'Like buggery, and I should know! But how else do you know you're alive?'
"My heart sank. Where did this generation come from? And - more to the point - where were they headed?
"But there was no stopping her now. She undid her belt buckle, lifted her hips from the settee and slid her shorts down to her ankles. No underwear... no surprise. With one foot, she flicked her shorts towards me, where they landed gracefully in my lap.
'Aren't you going to smell them, then?'
"I did as she suggested, hoping that her intimate scent would trigger some response from my dormant prick; but even the musky smell from where her crotch had rubbed against the denim shorts failed to get a rise out of me. Her pussy was completely shaved - not a hair in sight - making it look like the cuntlet of a girl half her age. And I was already feeling like a cradle-snatcher!
"But as she'd flicked me her shorts, I'd caught a sudden glimpse of something shiny and metallic in her crotch.
'What's that between your legs?'
'Oh, didn't I mention that? Silly me! Come take a look, why don't you?'
"She lay back naked on the settee and spread her legs apart, revealing - of all the grotesque things! - a tiny silver padlock holding her pierced pussy lips together over her vagina.
'Good God! How long have you worn that?'
'My Dad fitted me up as soon as I hit puberty. And he wouldn't tell me the combination! Worked it out, though! Lay in bed at night and went through all the possibilities. 'S how I learned to masturbate.
'He should've put a lock on my asshole too. Or shoved a mousetrap up there.'
"I winced at the image, but you know how much I like puzzles. For the first time, I felt my interest in this girl begin to stir; and with it, my prick.
'The padlock slows guys down a bit and makes them fumble around in my pussy, which ain't all bad. Anyway, you want to have it in? Guess the combination and it's all yours.'
"She was becoming more interesting by the minute. Vanity yielded to curiosity as I put on my glasses to take a closer look at the padlock. It was a combination lock requiring a four-letter word to open; why was I not surprised? But what was her four-letter word?
"There were so many to choose from: CUNT would be too obvious, I thought; FUCK too... but it might be fun to try them. This was better than a cryptic crossword! As I reached in between her open legs to start running through the possibilities, the solution suddenly flashed into my mind. Of course! Her father had set this combination! Suddenly, I was certain that I knew the answer to her riddle.
'Hmm... Let's see now: C, U, N, T... Nope. F, U, C, K... Not that either.
'Why don't you bend over the back of the sofa here and stick your ass up where I see what I'm doing? There... that's much better!'
'If you go for my asshole, I'll scream; and then where would you be, Pops?'
'Caught in a mousetrap, maybe? Then I'd scream!'
'Hey, you're not so bad... for a wrinkly.'
'For a what?'
'A wrinkly... You know, a golden oldie: someone over twenty-five.'
'You'll get there soon enough, my girl,' I thought. 'Then watch the goalposts shift!'
'In my day, we called them 'growns'.
'No, 'growns'. You know, short for 'grown-ups'... and because they did.'
'Did what?'
'Groan, of course! Now, hold still while I try another combination.'
'Hey, I like feeling your hands in my pussy; don't solve it too quickly, Pops!'
"No chance of that. Although I was now sure I knew the combination, I was enjoying the feel of her hairless, moistening cuntlet, and I needed a little more time to let my prick finish swelling.
'What are you trying now?'
'No, but you can rub it if you like. Have you tried H, O, L, E?
'Why? Is that it?'
'How about S, E, X, Y? Am I getting W, A, R, M?'
'I H, O, P, E so, because I certainly am!'
"Fully hard at last, I dropped my pants, unrolled a condom, and dialed in what I was sure was going be the winning combination.
'Then let's try: S... U... Z... Y... Jackpot!'
'P, O, P, S!... F, U, C, K me! Take your payment for the booze!'
'Who's paying whom here?' I wondered to myself, as I entered her from behind just as she was, bent over the back of the sofa, her pussy at exactly the right level for my prick.
'Hmm... I'll show you what a wrinkly can do,' I thought to myself.
"In my wine-embroidered state of mind, I had this crazy idea that I could erase her dystopic world-view with one mind-blowing fuck. Who knows? Maybe I did!
"I began to rock into her body, slowly at first and then - as I felt her begin to respond - with increasing depth and tempo. If you remember, I've always been able to control my own response in that position, and the older I get, the easier it is. So I knew I could keep this up for as long as necessary.
"Suddenly - for the first time in a long, long while - I felt in complete control: in control of my body, of her body, of the moment... in fact, in control of Life, the Universe and Everything! It was a heady feeling, one that I'd all but forgotten. Scream, would she? I'd make her scream all right... with delight!
"She began to moan, quietly at first, and then a little louder with each thrust, reminding me of the restaurant scene in 'When Harry Met Sally'.
'Give it to me, Pops! Drill me and screw me! Oh, fuck it... just hammer and nail me! Ohh... That feels so fucking goooood!'
"I reached down, grabbed a handful of her hair, and pulled her head back, hearing her gasp with surprise. At the same time, she arched her back and pushed back against my invading prick, opening herself up and matching my rhythm stroke for stroke. I noticed her hand sneak up between her legs, so I reached in from the other side.
'Hello, fingers! Fancy meeting you here!' I thought, as we jostled for access to her swollen clit.
"She was like an open book beneath me: I knew exactly what she was feeling as her orgasm approached. Throwing caution to the wind, I ran my knuckle down her open crack and traced little tight circles around her gaping asshole.
'I told you; I'll scr... OMIGOD! Don't... stop!'
"I wondered briefly whether that was 'DON'T! STOP!!' or 'DON'T STOP!!' But maybe this wasn't the moment to quiz her about punctuation... so I didn't: quiz her, or stop, that is.
"Her scream, when it came, probably woke the neighbors, but it was a scream of unmistakable passion and delight. No one was going to call the cops this time. Eventually, she released the cushion she'd been biting and gasped:
'Oh my-fucking-jesus-christ-almighty-god-what-did-you-just-do-to-me?'
'Was that all right, then? You're gibbering...'
'You'd gibber too if you'd felt what I just felt, Pops. I never knew that sex could feel like that! Will you do me again?'
'It would be my pleasure.'
"And it was..."

Why you need to Empower Yourself
Do you often feel frustrated, angry or upset? If your answer is yes, you may feel out of touch with your life. Feeling negative does more harm than good and although we cannot control everything in life, you can empower yourself in order to manage your life better. The important thing is not what happens … but how you react to it.
Empower Yourself Tip 1: Nothing Lasts Forever
Nothing is permanent, remember that. You may feel like jumping off a cliff today, but in a few weeks or months you will look back and maybe even laugh about the situation. You may be going through a difficult time now, but things will change and your pain will heal. Choose to get at least one positive out of every negative situation – that makes even the worst situation a little better.
Empower Yourself Tip 2: Strength versus Damage
You can choose if you want bad experiences to scar and damage you … or you can learn from it and become stronger as a person. Whatever happens, that too shall pass. Learn from the experience, get in touch with your emotions and determine the best, most positive way of handling the situation.
Empower Yourself Tip 3: Positive versus Negative
Try to stay positive even when those around you are negative. It may not always be easy, but you will stay true to yourself and not be dragged down to their level of despair. Deal with problems in a positive way rather than finding all the negatives. A positive mindset will lead to more openness and you will find solutions to problems easier.
Empower Yourself Tip 4: Don't look Back
Forgive yourself for your past mistakes and failures. Holding on to grief, guilt and bad memories will drain you emotionally, resulting in bad health and a low self esteem. Learn from your mistakes, admit them and move forward. Yesterday is gone, focus on today and plan for tomorrow.
Empower Yourself Tip 5: Keep Going
Get up when life knocks you down. You are strong and you can do it. Remember why you are on your journey. Whenever you feel like giving up on a goal, think about the reason why you started out in the first place. Why is it important to you? This will motivate you to get up and keep going until you reach your goal.

The Lebanese comedy-drama-musical-tragedy "Where Do We Go Now?" has many of the charms and much of the unevenness that made some foreign indie films of the 1990s an interesting gamble. You bought a ticket and you never knew exactly what you'd be getting. "Where" was made just last year, but it feels like a throwback, in (mainly) pleasant ways.
A female-power political fable that mixes hints of "Lysistrata" with a touch of the joyful matriarchal whirl (and tonal fluctuations) of Pedro Almodóvar movies, it's set in a very isolated Lebanese village. How isolated? To access the road to larger towns, residents have to scramble across the spine of a broken bridge. The only way to get a TV signal is to drag the set to the top of the highest hill. The entire village — all couple of dozen residents — trudge up that hill together to watch special events, such as the New Year's Eve countdown that kicks off the 21st century.
At the movie's start, the townsfolk are quite pleased with themselves. Rightly so. Divided equally between Christians and Muslims, they all get along. Half go to the mosque, the other half to the church a stone's toss away.
Actually, not getting regular television or radio reception is a good thing. The villagers don't hear news about bloody religious strife happening elsewhere in their country. If, by accident, a broadcast begins to make its way to the men's ears, the women erupt in faux catfights with one another, their shouts and insults drowning out the volume.
That's the central premise of "Where Do We Go Now?" The women of this tiny town, regardless of their religious affiliation, do whatever it takes to keep their men from finding some offhand reason to start killing members of "the other side." Already the bleak, dusty cemetery — divided, naturally, between Christian and Muslim — is full of young men who have fallen at each others' hands.
They include the husband of the widow Amal, who, at an emotionally pivotal moment, speaks for the sisterhood when she shouts at the town's men, "You think we're here just to mourn you? To wear black forever?"
That impassioned moment comes from the striking actress Nadine Labaki, who also happens to be the movie's director. You can't begrudge her for giving herself a prime role, because she's actually very fine. You could begrudge her, a little, for her throw-it-against-a-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks approach to the material. Ah, well, it works more often than it doesn't.
The women's episodic strategies for keeping things tranquil include faking a miracle via a statue of the Virgin Mary, getting the men high with hashish-laced pastries, and hiring five blond Russian dancers to pretend that their bus has broken down on the village outskirts, in the hopes that the foreigners', um, assets will distract the menfolk for a day or two.
Amid all the silliness, true tragedy finally comes home for Takla (Claude Baz Moussawbaa), the steely shopkeeper who goes to the greatest extremes to maintain peace in the village. The actress is powerful, conveying the grief that counterbalances the movie's silliest moments. (Those include a couple of musical numbers, which are frankly examples of lily-gilding.)
"Where Do We Go Now?" is not exactly a great movie. It's too shaggy for that. But it's a good one — heartfelt, amusing and able to inspire an unexpected lump in your throat. Which says a lot. These days, most movies can't sustain a single mood, much less juggle a handful.
"Where Do We Go Now?" Starring Claude Baz Moussawbaa, Nadine Labaki, Yvonne Maalouf. Directed by Nadine Labaki. In Arabic, Russian and English with subtitles. 100 minutes. Rated PG-13. At Landmark Midtown Art Cinema.

"Pop-up" projects let cities try out new ideas without the expense - or the risk - of making permanent changes to infrastructure. The most famous recent example is the pedestrianization of Times Square in NYC by Janette Sadik-Khan. The Globe traces the practice of using pilot projects to test out unconventional planning ideas back to Copenhagen in the 1950s (back when cars still ruled it the cities streets and before it had become the global darling of pedestrian and bike friendly cities).
If you read the Globe article, I'd recommend also reading this post that came out in the New York Times last month (I've put an excerpt below). It gives a grittier view of the way pilot projects have been used in NYC.
Mayor Bloomberg has been accused of using pilot projects to skirt red-tape and public consultation. While in the end the Times Square experiment may have won over the skeptics, the same quick and dirty approach to issues like education are more problematic and have some communities fighting back against the city.
One obvious answer, it seems to me, is to use pilots in collaboration with local residents and businesses, not to impose them from above. One civil liberties lawyer interviewed by the NYT talks about "good-faith" pilots, and I think that term is key. Communities - as much or more so than the Mayor - have good ideas that get blocked by red-tape and bureaucratic inertia. Collaborative "Pop-up" planning could be a great way to empower people to make their community visions a reality.
Is any of this really new? In general, I think the answer is "no." "Pop-up" is a trendy label for something that has been happening for a long long time. For many cities, like Montreal where I'm now living, festivals, markets and other activities have temporarily converted streets from one function to another depending on the seasons. And people have been bending rules for as long as we have had them. As one NY City Council member summarized her thirty years in politics: "The way things get done in New York City is figuring out a way to get around the rules."
But how and why those temporary transformations take place changes from one era to the next. What is new currently is the more targeted use that cities seem to be making of "pilots" to break the dominance of cars on city streets.
This can be a difficult transition.
Pilots give cities and communities the flexibility to find arrangements that are good for cyclists, pedestrians, and businesses. But even more important, they give large areas of public space back to the people who live and work there, and show all of us that positive rapid change is possible.
From:'Pilot' Label Lets Mayor's Projects Skip City Review
The Bloomberg administration has taken a tack that could be called "do it first, answer questions later." And the key to the strategy is to start small, and to use the word "pilot."
The pilot has emerged as the mayor's signature policy weapon. Admirers see an innovative way around red tape. Critics see a blunt tool that undermines democracy by minimizing the public's role in scrutinizing the ideas of government.
"If they announce the program as permanent, and with all the pizazz and hoopla, they're going to get strong negative reactions," said Norman Siegel, the civil liberties lawyer and a frequent Bloomberg critic. A good-faith pilot, Mr. Siegel said, can allay critics' fears.
"It's masterful," he said.

I Want You To Want Me by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar
[People] talk about themselves in 200 words and say the most important things about themselves, so it is very fertile ground for building a mosaic of humanity.
Jonathan Harris is another one of my personal heros. This installation is titled "I Want you to Want Me" and was commissioned by the MOMA for Valentines Day, 2008. The project was presented on a 56″ touch screen and the little balloons are profiles pulled from the various dating sites on the web. Read the project's mission statement here.
I Want You To Want Me explores the search for love
and self in the world of online dating.
It's not valentines day but I'm getting post-summer blues. New York City feel serene after the hurricane; we're all still here, looking for someone.

Frequently Asked Questions about Totalcare
Why did East Madison Dental create Totalcare?
One of the goals at East Madison Dental is to provide quality dental care in a warm and personal atmosphere. We understand that health care costs continue to rise every year. To encourage good dental health and to alleviate costs, we have developed a preventive dental care savings program.
Besides savings, what are other advantages of Totalcare?
Totalcare offers you a dental plan for the whole year that has no waiting periods, no deductibles, and no annual maximums or claims forms. East Madison Dental will keep track of what appointments you have had already, and will remind you of what you appointments you have yet to schedule.
Do I have to pay for Totalcare all at once?
We offer the option for you to pay in full and receive the substantial discounts listed above. We also offer a monthly payment plan through Care Credit, a healthcare financing program that we know and trust. The monthly payment plans are as follows:
Adult Prophy Plan: $50 per month for 12 months ($600 for the year)
Adult Perio Plan: $95 per month for 12 months ($1140 for the year)
Child Prophy Plan: $40 per month for 12 months ($480 for the year)
For each of these plans, you are still saving between $200 and $300 a year with the monthly payment option.
What kind of guarantee do I receive with these plans?
East Madison Dental procedures come with our EMD Guarantee as long as you are keeping up with your routine hygiene maintenance and periodic exams. The Totalcare plans allow you to easily keep up with that routine, and ensure that the EMD Guarantee is intact. The EMD Guarantee is:
EMD guarantees 5 years on crowns and veneers (date of service to year 3 is covered at 100%; years 3 to 5 are covered at 50%), 2 years on fillings, 2 years on sealants, 2 years on night-guards (does not cover lost night-guards). Patients must be seen a minimum of 2 times per year for their routine hygiene maintenance and periodic exam.
What is the fine print?
EMD Totalcare is valid for 12 months from start date. All intra-oral x-rays included for 1 year, excludes Panoramic or CT-scan imaging. For patients with insurance, we will NOT be submitting for preventative care on your behalf. Totalcare cannot be combined with any other promotions or discounts. This plan does not include treatment for gum disease (debridement, scaling, root planing). Once treatment is rendered, the fee is non-refundable or transferable. Plan is subject to change.

Although the conditions over this weekend didn't produce any significant soaring achievement,s that didn't stop it being quite busy. The Friday crew did what they usually do and had some reasonable local soaring. Arriving at the site at 9am on Saturday your blogger thought, 'Have I missed something ?' The ASW20 and the DG 300 were sitting, tugs ready, waiting to launch. No, not an early start for some massive task but a delegation going to the Help For Heroes fly in at Eshott which was very well attended. The big Pawnee stayed - to impress all the flying folk whose aircraft are dwarfed by it - along with the gliders, whilst the Cub returned for duty at the club. It was followed by our tugmaster who came to check out tuggies on the Eurofox which has now got its Permit to Fly. 4 tuggies carried out several cicuits each before Ken Sangster make the first tow with Dave Key in the Sport Vega. All went well and Dave's only comment was 'how much is a bonus launch behind the Eurofox ?' Later in the day the Pawnee and DG300 returned to site.
Sunday dawned with a forecast which again, didn't promise much soaring. The tugmaster returned and continued to do check flights. There was very little wind and, operating from the S end of the field, where the grass was quite thick, conditions were testing for the tugs. Your blogger and Ken Sangster decided to see how the Eurofox coped with the Astir behind. The initial acceleration was rather slow and, with the Astir not having the best of aileron response, a wing drop occurred and I pulled off. The second attempt was still rather difficult but we got away and off we went. The Eurofox reacts to thermals (as we already knew) but Ken thought towing at a slightly higher speed would help it react less which seemed to work. The climb rate seemed similar to, or slightly better than, the small Pawnee.
|Astir on its first Eurofox tow
|Head for the sky !
The Ka 21 was next and, again despite the lack of headwind seemed to takeoff normally. As the tugmaster observed, 'You need to run with the wingtip up to a certain speed so, if the initial acceleration is slightly slower you will have to take a few more steps !' - obvious when you think about it.
|Lift off with the Ka21
The next launch was the Puchacz, 2 up with Paddy Clarke (not a small chap - see photo below) in the front seat. They took off at virtually the same spot as our Tugmaster's Condor when he left. Bill Stephen in the back said he was perfectly happy during the take off so, quite a test. Having done some spins they returned and set off again. Oh no ! something has gone wrong - no, just Bill doing a launch failure with Paddy ! Well Paddy quite a day - you may as well try that on your own. A lovely take off, well flown circuit and neat landing made for a great first solo (well, in gliders anyway, he's flown nearly everything else !) Congratulations Paddy !
|Paddy, please don't crash !

121 Centre St.
From Holy Trinity Church, head north to Centre St., turn left to the garden gate and along the path to this farmhouse, once the home of Group of Seven artist J.E.H. MacDonald and later of his son Thoreau, a talented artist in his own right - book designer, illustrator and calligrapher. It was here that MacDonald senior painted his famous
The Tangled Garden
, now in the National Gallery in Ottawa. Thoreau's parents moved to Thornhill in 1912, where they first resided at 18 Centre St. Two years later the family moved to 121 Centre St. After his father's death in 1932, Thoreau stayed on until 1974 when the house was donated to the City of Vaughan. A nature lover Thoreau lived here for 60 years, preserving on paper the way of life of a now vanished community. He designed the wheatsheaf logo for SPOHT. Much of his work is in the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg.

DEKALB -- The Tri-Valley Vikings did what they couldn't do in 2013, leaving no doubt in a 41-8 win over Auburn in the 2A state football championship.
Viking QB Peyton Roop rushed for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns in the win. Roop was one of four Tri-Valley players to run in a touchdown.
It was the school's first-ever state championship.
In 2013, Tri-Valley watched a 4th quarter lead slip away in the 1A championship. That year, they lost to a Lena-Winslow team which had been in the title game a few years earlier. Friday, the Vikings looked the part of the experienced group, running away with the championship.
Jake Steiner's 7-yard TD run started the scoring in the first on Friday, on a 10-play, 64-yard drive. The Vikings scored three more times in the 2nd to take a 27-0 lead at halftime.
In one of the wildest plays of the day at Huskie Stadium Friday, Tri-Valley's Tom Kinsella picked off a 3rd quarter pass from Auburn's Drew Chance. Kinsella broke five tackles, including a couple Trojans that had him wrapped up, taking it a full 81-yards to the endzone in a play lasted 22 seconds. That touchdown made it 34-0.
Tri-Valley (14-0) also completed its first perfect season in school history.

Over the last several years, Captain Jack Harkness returned from the dead many times on Doctor Who and Torchwood but he may not make it back this time.
In an interview with Magic Radio, John Barrowman wasn't optimistic about reprising the role.
"I haven't been asked. If I had a TARDIS I would jump in, go back in time, change [the producer's] minds and go forward and play him again
"I would love to do it, but I might never be on Doctor Who or Torchwood again."Barrowman had nothing but praise for the newest Doctor, and didn't mince words addressing Peter Capaldi's detractors:
"And for those critics who sit behind their keyboards and say 'Capaldi's not going to be good…' Shut up! Because you'll watch the show anyway. You go on the journey the Doctor takes you on no matter who is playing him."Would you like to see John return to Doctor Who? Let us know in the comments!

Artificial blood made from human stem cells will be tested in clinical trials in Britain within three years and could be used routinely in hospitals within a decade, according to Scottish scientists.
It is hoped that manufactured blood derived from adult bone marrow or embryonic stem cells could end blood shortages caused by too few donors.
Synthetic blood could save crucial time in ambulances and on the battlefield because there would be no need to test a patient's blood type before administering a transfusion.
Scientists are developing artificial blood based on the "universal donor" group, O rhesus negative, which can be given to the vast majority of people regardless of their own blood group.
Marc Turner, from the University of Edinburgh, who is leading the program, said the first blood to be tested in human beings would be derived from adult bone marrow.
"Our current program will take another year to 18 months and by then we hope to have red cells of suitable quality and to go forward into trials," he said.
The ultimate goal is to produce red blood cells from embryonic stem cells, or adult skin cells.
Manufacturing blood from stem cells would have a huge advantage because these cells can multiply indefinitely in the laboratory and so could produce a limitless supply of blood. Such blood would have the additional benefit of not being at risk of infection from viruses such as HIV and hepatitis.

If you find yourself gauging your life with that of others, you are not alone.
Social comparison is an attempt to make accurate assessments of ourselves. It has become common now more than ever
before with the explosion of social media sites. These platforms provide a never-ending stream of content upon
which to compare ourselves. What's more, this has taken our attempts to keep up with the Joneses beyond the
neighborhood and onto a global scene.
Although comparing your looks, possessions or lifestyle to that of others can be a
source or motivation, it has its downsides as well. It becomes a problem when you start to gauge your own
self-worth based on the accomplishments, qualities or possessions of others.
This article will cover 5 reasons why you shouldn't compare yourself to
others in order to shed more light on the negative impact of falling prey to this emotionally dangerous
#1: It Will Steal Your Joy
It is natural to long for things or accomplishments that other people have.
However, this yearning for the kind of life or opportunities that someone else has can often elicit feelings of
envy. When it reaches that point, you will be sabotaging your own happiness because you will feel mediocre compared
to others.
If constantly comparing yourself with others is how you evaluate your worth, this
will only create a vicious cycle of discontentment that will leave you more dejected than ever.
#2: Sets You Up for Failure
People who compare themselves with others find that they are always lacking in
something. Because let's face it, there will always be someone who is more successful, more talented, better
looking or generally doing better than you in life. If you judge yourself based on what you don't have, your
self-esteem will start to drop. And once you feel you can never measure up, this can lead to a downward spiral of
giving up on your goals.
#3: Comparisons Disregard Differences in Personal Circumstances
All too often than not, most people don't take into account personal differences
between themselves and celebrities or peers they compare themselves to. As a result, successful people come off as
overnight sensations while in fact that is never the case. The truth is everyone goes through struggles and
setbacks on the path to success. Therefore, you can't truly judge your own worth by comparing yourself to someone
leading a completely different life and in totally different circumstance than yours.
#4: Comparisons Centered on Superiority Hinder Personal Growth
Sometimes people compare themselves to others who are "beneath" them in a bid to
boost their own self-esteem. However, you won't work on areas in your life that need improvement if you get off on
feeling superior compared to others. Instead of trying to pass yourself off as better than everyone else, make
comparisons with people who are better than you in one respect or another and use their success as an example you
can try to emulate.
#5: Using Inaccurate Information for Self-Comparison
While you may think that some people are leading an amazing life, this is not
always the case. There is no such thing as a perfect life. Everyone experiences challenges in life but people like
to present to the outside world an edited version of their reality. And while they hide behind this facade of
perfectionism, their lives aren't always as blissful as they have other people think. Trying to compare yourself
with a celebrity or peer you perceive to have a perfect life is setting standards that those people perhaps don't
even match up to. So, the next time you find yourself comparing your life to that of a neighbor, friend or
superstar, remember that you don't necessarily know every detail about their life.

So yesterday during my workout, I changed it … the workout and officially accepted that the goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon, or even attempting it on July 26 at The San Francisco Marathon isn't going to happen.
These last couple of weeks have not been the same like in previous training cycles going into a target or "A" race. The 3 city travels in 8 days accompanied by exhaustion of … well … life, has started to catch up. To be honest, I have opted to start to hit the snooze button than jumping right out of bed as of late.
I have been getting my workouts and running run in, 942 days of streaking to be exact. My speed / interval workouts have been fairly dialed in, marathon pace runs in, long runs have been included, so I have been training just haven't been 100% mentally committed to going for that sub 3, I announced about 16 weeks back.
All of this just happens, it's part of life, however for me it is something that just isn't normal so I am struggling with it a bit. I know on July 26, I'll have some fun on that course … goal time? Maybe 3:10? Maybe 3:20? I don't really know.
It's not like I won't ever go after that sub 3 again … who knows, CIM in December might be a more realistic go since I can do a bulk of my training when the soccer season is over and am at home more and can really focus and put my mental energy into a true "A" race.
Have you ever had to change your goal 2-3 weeks out from a race, where injury wasn't a factor?
