I'm doing fabulous. How are you?
Wonderful! I am so excited to have you here, so you can talk to us about this very, very unique system that you have put together. So first, what exactly is a wellness center, and who is it designed for?
Wellness center, really it was created in a way to have mental health services for all students, not just our students with IEP's or 504s. It was really a way to re-imagine like a counseling center to be a more holistic approach for kids to come and make appointments, and get … Not only just to be able to talk to someone, but actually practice tools, get resources, and feel more like a coaching type of center for students. It's again, for all students, and we've collaborated with outside agencies as well to bring in resources not only for mental health, but physical health as well.
No, that's fantastic, and right now in the current state of the country, we know mental health is the new buzz word topic. Everybody is trying to figure out what are we going to do with these students come the beginning of the year, right? A wellness center is definitely a place to start.
Now, it probably can't be easy gathering resources or figuring out even what resources to offer. So what types of resources do you currently offer?
Kind of backing up, the appointments are made by students. This was done at a high school, couple of high schools, and they're 30-minute appointments. The resources that we started with was actually asking the students what they needed. And so based on what they felt like they needed help with is how we started our topics. Stress management was a very hot topic, and so we built in tools or resources around stress management.
That sounds like a great idea. You have to do a needs assessment, right? If you're setting this up in low-SES or high-SES, you're going to have a different need for that population. I really like the idea of asking the student. This is for the students.
It's for the students, yes.
Sometimes we forget about that. We should ask the students, so that's a really good point to bring about. That's a great resource to start with, that stress management. What other resources do you have?
Dating was a hot topic or just relationships in general. Communication skills as well was a hot topic. And I guess not only with friends, but dating and parents came up a lot. Sometimes we did bring in parents, if the student felt comfortable with that, for communication.
Specific people that we brought in was regarding eating. We had a lot of students that had eating challenges or eating disorders. So we partnered with an outside agency to come and talk to our students about that, and offer resources that we have in the wellness center.
The Mindfulness Institute was another one that we partnered with to bring in mindfulness tools, the biofeedback machine we have. We have also partnered with what we have here in San Diego, San Diego Youth Services for suicide prevention, but also they give us some tools around vaping, substance abuse, things that we can have in the wellness center, just psycho-education around some of those topics. Yeah.
Those are really good. I love how you're pooling resources from the community. It sounds like a wide range of expertise to help all these students on the campus, so I think that's fantastic.
A lot of times when we bring in outside resources, or we put something on our campuses, we definitely need the support of the district and administration. How did you work with your administration to create the center? I can't even imagine the questions they would have about budgeting, and, "Well, then how is this going to work, and who's involved?"
How did you prepare to have that conversation with your administration, and what kind of answers did you provide for them?
I've been with the current organization for three years, and it was the first year that they actually had school psychologists on campus at all, and there's no school counselors or any other mental health professional. They were pretty hesitant with even that piece. They felt like teachers really are equipped to provide social, emotional support to students. It's been an uphill challenge to even get anything on campus.
Starting with school psychologists my first year, the whole reason maybe this also started was, I used to just get Post-it notes with kids' names all over my desk when I came back from lunch, and it would just say a kid's name with anxiety by it. I just was like, "What is this?" Obviously there was a need, yeah.
I'm sure, speaking as a school psychologist, I'm glad to know … All of our school psychologists out there watching, I want you to put in a comment, what is the craziest way that you got a referral to go see a student? I love this random Post-it note, but it happened.
So clearly there is a need, and I really feel the administration isn't always aware of that need, especially if this is the avenue that they're going through. It's not an SST process-
There's no formal referral. So I think just identifying that component, and expressing that to administration, and be like, "Your teachers are asking for help and we need to have something that's more structured," would be a really great conversation to have at first.
I took of the first year with those Post-It notes, and tracked just how much there was a need, right? And so at the end of that year, that was what I'd brought to administration to say. "Look, there's a need. There's only so much I can do. What are some things that we can do to kind of support this need that we have?"
No, that's fantastic. Showing them the data, right? That is what at school sites we are great at. We will collect that data, and as long as we know how to use it, that works to our advantage. Excellent.
Okay, so now that we've established there's a need, what other things can we do to help administration understand the reasoning, why this is so important?
I felt like for my administration, I definitely had to build trust and a relationship with them to even see. They saw the data, but they did to see the need themselves.
Some of the students that I was working with, I had them also meet with the administration. We have a smaller school, so it's about 500 students, so they were able to do that. Just to kind of get some of the concerns that also the students are hearing. So I had buy-in from some of the students that also felt like we needed more support, and that was really where the change happened at my current school, because they really value student voice.
And so that was where, again, the pool … They had a group of students, I had created a group of students to go talk to administration.
That's fantastic. So making sure that what you're doing is working is also really key. So what kind of benefits did you start seeing once you started implementing some of these resources?
I think one of the coolest things that we started to see was students bringing other students to the wellness center, and maybe students that shared that they never talked to anyone in their whole life. They had something that they needed to get off their chest, they've never shared.
Sometimes you would see friends bringing their friends, crying, or kind of, "It's okay. They're cool. They're all right." Because we made it very chill and not like a therapy … It wasn't really framed as therapy, although it is. It was very much like a wellness center, and much more chill and relaxed to encourage students to come. I think also that we had some visitors that came often. So we had return visitors, and at every visit we did ask for feedback from students.
So we did take some of their feedback each time, things that we could do better. For example, we started at 20-minute appointments. We heard from students, "We would like a little bit longer." So we changed them to 30-minute appointments. They asked for snacks and drinks, so things like that they asked.
Like I said, we also took feedback from specific tools. So not only that initial needs assessment, ongoing through each appointment, what were the trends or things that the students were asking for that they wanted to learn more about? Which kind of entailed then the wellness center became a wellness program. And so part of that wellness program was doing more PD maybe with students, or having students engage in the work with us and do the PD on the topics that they were asking for more help.
No, that's great. Just get that involvement, and I'm sure it has to just grow organically. You can't just drop in a brand new building, and now it's open. It does need to take that slower approach where the kids bring each other, because once they've established a trust, then it can spread and they can share that wisdom.
And I really liked the idea of engaging the students in that professional development to really have them become teachers to help and coach their peers. I know there's a lot of programs out there, like a [Links Program and Buddies & Pals, and all those different programs to really teach that peer support. So incorporating peer support programs in the wellness center, sounds like that should be really impactful as well.
Yep, and our goal is to make wellness ambassadors. So basically, certain students that are also kind of trained to help some of our other students, kind of like those programs.
That's wonderful! So what kind of positive feedback did you get from both the staff? More like the teachers and the administration, because those testimonies really can help other school psychologists bring this to their school site. So what kind of feedback did you hear from them about the benefits?
I should also say that the wellness center was open to teachers, parents, and staff. We didn't start that way, but it grew into that. So I mean, teachers were thankful. They learn things within their own appointment to also bring back to students.
I guess that the biggest positive feedback is that there's 16 schools in our organization, and because of this one school that I started this program at, they want it at every school. So next year and going forth, they want to have something like that at all the schools.
So the buy-in from, "We don't want any mental health on campuses," to three years later, "Yes, we want it for all 16 schools," is I guess the proof that they feel that it's necessary, they feel like it's helpful.
That's amazing. That's huge growth.
Huge, huge.
Fabulous school psychologist is watching right now, Mary Beth out in Texas. Thank you for joining us, and she definitely loves the idea that students get to have input in the program. So I love that component of it.
And I love that you say this is open to teachers, because how many times do you as school psychs think that we should have office hours just for teachers? And you want to help when the teachers just come to your door and they just kind of unload. So how did that … Well, now I'm super curious. Now that it's allowed and it's structured as part of the wellness center, tell me more about how this teacher engagement worked. Like did they come at recess or on their lunch break? Before school, after school? They abandoned their kids during the class? I mean…
Well, this happened during the teachers' lunches, so they would come during their lunch, if they would like to make an appointment. And it was really, again, a way to streamline that need, because it was already occurring, right? Just to your point. Teachers do come, and often you might not be really prepared for that, or maybe you're doing something else. That was honestly kind of a way for us to make it available to teachers, that all teachers know that it's available to them, and to make it more structured for us.
And actually have the availability in staff, because I did bring in other people to help me with this work. I wasn't alone in providing all the mental health or all the kids. I had an intern and I had a partner, somebody that … An associate that was working on their LPCC that was helping as well.
Yeah, that's fantastic. You definitely need more bodies. You cannot handle, even though your campus was what? 500 students?
500 students. I have multiple schools right now. It started at one school, I only had the capacity to kind of focus on one school and really make it right at that one school, and now like I said, it's spreading.
Absolutely, and it sounds like it's growing. And so I think that's a really key point to know, is that it's okay to start small. And so that means we have to talk about first steps and creating that.
So what would you recommend be the first step for any other mental health professional to take on this desire to create a wellness center at their site? What would be your number one recommendation to have them slowly ease into this?
I think the very first thing was just assessing the need, if it's something right for their school and their environment. And the conversations with administration didn't just happen all at once, right? It was kind of ongoing, so keeping them in the loop as to … Like I said, that year of data was really … Yes, I shared it at the end of the year, but I showed it throughout the year and kind of had that open dialogue.
I think the most important step is just building that trusting relationship with them, and allowing them to see the value that you give, as well as other mental health professionals could give. Yeah, I think that's the very first … The very first step is a big relationship with your administration, because if you don't have that, you're not going to be able to get the buy-in, and then being able to show the need would be the next step. Yeah.
Yeah, and as mental professionals, we always know that there's a need. We're never going to say that there's not. There's a need! We need to convince others what that need is and what it looks like. And like you said, it does look different at different levels. Elementary students are going to have a much different need than our high school students. So I think that's really important too.
I also want to circle back around to that mention of parents, and parents getting access to these resources. So how is that structured? Is it just during the school day? Were there nighttime programs available? How did that work for them?
They were after school, it was only one day a week. There was just a couple appointments, and they didn't honestly get as many as we would've liked, but yeah. It's actually been way easier since quarantine, to be honest, to run all of this in some ways, because the wellness centers were remained open, just in a virtual space.
Yeah, we also did the one-on-one appointments with parents, as well as a parent support group, which was going to turn into more of a parent PD as well. So sometimes it was just hearing them out, sometimes it was kind of introducing some sort of tip or tool for the parents. So that was kind of the parent piece, so far.
That's excellent. Schools are doing it. [crosstalk 00:19:20] … You brought up a question that I had. Well, since this is campus base, it's at the school site, I was curious to see … Well, what happened during this quarantine and with COVID-19 happening? Did the wellness center close? Did it stay open? So it sounds like it stayed open. Can you talk a little bit more about how you continued to service the parents and the students during this time? Because I think that's so critical for a lot of students who are feeling isolated.
For sure. I had my students that I had to see through their IEP services as well, but other than that, I had a Calendarly link, which was open to staff, parents and students, and it has my availability all set in. So instead of having a specific day for the wellness center, it was Monday through Friday, just kind of based on my availability.
We also, in addition to that, had Mindfulness Mondays for educators, so it was a group just for the teachers. And then on Tuesdays, we had a student wellness group for students, and then on Thursdays was the parent wellness group for parents. I utilized our mental health interns that we have that also provide services also on the calls. So I co-ran it with them, so it wasn't all alone. I'm doing all this together.
The wellness check-ins, again, they just used the link, but they were 30 minutes. Similar set up, where you check in, you kind of see what's going on, provide some tools and resources, and then see if there's any follow up that's needed.
Wow, that sounds like a very organized procedure, and you did it so fast to transition this into an online virtual setting. So do you think that you're going to have lasting results using the virtual tools that you implemented when you go back to the traditional setting? Will you keep the option of having online services in tandem with the in-person services?
For parents? For sure. It was so much easier for parents to access those resources I think, instead of having to leave work. So now rethinking it, I think we would have had more appointments with parents if we would have allowed maybe for Zoom or some virtual spaces.
I also love the PD in the virtual space. I think that the parents, sometimes maybe we got more to come, just because they didn't always have to show their camera or participate, but just being able to be in the PT. Also, we had definitely parents that came every week to our parent wellness club, and felt like at the end like, "Thank you. Thank you for this space. Thank you for allowing me to have …"
Really, the parent wellness group was for parents to have a space that was free from talking about parenting, to be honest. We didn't in that space talk about parenting. It was like self-care for parents, or just a place to vent and like get support for one another. It was beautiful. So they kind of helped each other through that space. So that was separate than like a parenting PD, where it was actually more talking about skills, which could be a little bit more stressful in some ways. So I wanted to have both of those spaces for the parents.
To your question, yes. I think Zoom will be used.
So now that it's growing and you're changing, and morphing and adapting, honestly, this is a positive thing that came out of COVID-19. We always talk about the negatives, so I really feel like we really need to focus on the positive, that this forced us to change and take advantage of technologies, and that way we really can reach more people. Your wellness center is a prime example of how it's going to have positive lasting effects.
So that kind of goes into your vision probably has changed. So what's the larger vision, or what's your next steps for the wellness center? And how do you want to continue to grow?
So like I shared, that the other schools are more interested. I'm taking a new role in the organization as a lead mental health clinician for all 16 schools. That work will continue on to grow.
The school psychologists that we have on our campuses are fantastic, and some of these ideas I got from them. So I want to give them credit as well, it hasn't just been all me. It's definitely requires buy-in from multiple people and like go-to people that you can have.
So going forward, I definitely want to partner more with our community agencies and again, bring in like a monthly special, basically. Like a hot topic for each month, and provide it to parents, teachers and students. So maybe grief when we come back, or trauma, or autism, or whatever the kind of monthly special topic is.
I would love to continue to have students be able to check in, and staff and parents, but even more than that, I would love for agency to be made with our students. So them to be able to do the PD themselves, like our older students to our younger students.
And especially during this time, maybe they can share how they're coping through quarantine, or through the civil unrest we're going through, or whatever those topics are, right? That our students are … All kids are extraordinary, but we definitely have some leaders in our bunch, that I feel like I want to capitalize on their leadership skills and provide that to our younger kids.
Absolutely. Giving the leaders an opportunity to have a voice, to share their knowledge to others, and speak the language that may be us adults don't necessarily speak, and they could reach a larger group of students. That sounds like a wonderful vision and plan.
And I'd love for the students to do it for parents as well, so that the parents can hear from the students' perspective some of these more sensitive topics.
Everyone educating everyone I think is definitely a great model to use.
So tell us a little bit about what the wellness center has meant to you and your own self care? Because when you are responsible for this large, large project that really is promoting wellness, and mental health and self-care, we have to take care of ourselves too. So what kind of strategies or tips, or what has it all meant to you in the end?
So I've been doing this work like you mentioned for 12 years, and the first five years, I was just very overworked in a very small district, and worked with really, really … Kids and really challenging cases, kids in juvenile hall and these kinds of things, and I got myself burnt out for sure. And so I did not do self-care. I did unhealthy ways of self-care, right.
And so I think that life change kind of started the work, and what I've been doing … You know, I started to work out more regularly, I wake up early to do that, which was hard for me to do, but building good habits. I journal every day, I engage in my own mindfulness techniques, and I communicate more, I ask for more help.
And I think I joined CASP and other organizations. I became on the board of the San CASP, which is our local school psychology organization in San Diego. Those kind of changed the whole game for me, to have connection and to not feel so alone in this work. It was huge. And then beyond that, to create anything hasn't been just me. It's been talking to the other people, and getting their ideas and their tools, and going, "Oh, what have I learned? What can I learn from them, and take and help my community?" Because it will look different for every school and for everybody. And humbling myself and letting ego go, and stop comparing myself to other people, because it's not helpful.
All of those things. So listening more too, as well. Just being able to … Yeah.
Those are great, and it does force us to grow as professionals and individuals as we start helping more people. And of course we know that we have to take care of ourselves, because we cannot pour from an empty cup. It really sounds like you've found that balance to really make the best impact for everyone around you. So thank you so much for sharing all of these resources.
And I know everyone's wondering like, "Where do I find more information? I need this." So I will let everybody know, Misty has this amazing wellness website. I'm going to put that in the comments after the show and you'll have access, and Misty's also created a Facebook group. So do you want to tell them the name of the Facebook group, and a little bit about that too?
It's called the Life and Times of a School Psychologist, and I created it right after that burnout. So it was a way for me to connect, and it was just me for maybe a couple of years, me and like three other friends. No, maybe 10 of us that worked in the district. Now we have about 4,500 school psychologists in the group, and we have a file section, which is fabulous, with tests, templates or resources on emotional disturbance or autism, whatever you would like, therapy resources.
So join if you … Yeah, we'd love to have you.
Absolutely! Resources for school sites in that collaboration piece, so I'll make sure that we put a link in the comments section as well to your Facebook group. And if you're a school psychologist, please feel free to join that group as well.
So Misty, thank you so much for joining us today. I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing this amazing transformation that you did with your campus, and how it really can help it impact everyone else. So anyone else that's watching that wants to take on this endeavor, more power to them, and we'll make sure that they have the resources to do so.
Yes, yes. Thank you so much, Lindsey. It's been a pleasure.
Have a wonderful day.
Yeah, see you.
So everyone, wasn't that an amazing show about a wellness center? I would love to hear if anyone else has been implementing something similar, or if they are wanting to do more of these types of things on your campuses, because we can definitely collaborate and share resources with each other. These mental health challenges that we're going to be facing this coming school year, we definitely want to be as collaborative as possible so that we can share information that's working in one setting that might not work in another, but maybe it will. So let's keep an open mind.
And remember as always, you want to be kind first. So I want to keep hearing these stories about how you're taking an initiative to make that first move, to show kindness first. Share your stories, comment them.
And we are going to be taking two weeks off. We've got a holiday coming up, so you are not going to be able to see us. So if you missed any of our shows, take this time to watch our replays on our YouTube channel or on our Facebook group, and be sure to stay tuned, because in a couple of weeks we will be back and we will have more for us to share. Thanks, everyone.

First Men in the Moon
(First Men in the Moon)
The Story
Full Story
A lunar capsule directed by an international crew lands on the moon. Firsts steps on the moon are now a reality. During their exploration, the astronauts discover on a lunar rock an outstanding object... A little English flag and a message written in 1899! declaring that the moon was discovered for the Queen Victoria, proving the astronauts that they are not the first men on the moon but that it was discovered many many years ago.
The discovery makes fury, English walked on the Moon in 1899! An inquiry is led to find the pioneers. An inquiry that leads them to an old man, Mr. Bedford, who is going to tell his dazzling story to the reporters who came to interview him.
In 1899, Bedford and his young fiancee Kate settled in a small cottage. Their direct neighbor is Mr. Cavor, a science searcher who uses his own cottage to realize scientific experiences. He works on a new paint capable to compensate the earth's gravity - the Cavorite. First incredulous, Bedford understands that Cavor's discovery is fantastic and joins him to throw into the inconceivable adventure... to go to the moon!.
Despite Kate's reticence who does not wish his husband to commit in this adventure, the means of transportation, a sphere made of steel they painted with the revolutionary matter, is on the point to leave. The stearing of the capsule is made possible thanks to coated shutters, allowing to vary the painted surface.
While the departure is imminent, Kate comes a last time to discourage her husband, but the former is embarked despite her will in extremis before the capsule takes off. The capsule rises and directs to the moon. |
After a rather rough landing on the moon, Bedford and Cavor dress their scubas to exit, leaving Kate inside because no supplementary spacesuit had been anticipated. After having deposited a little English flag and a message witnessing of their run, they discover an entry, a mechanical passage that opens in front of them. While walking in, they meet moon's creatures. Taken by fear, Bedford gets rid of some of them and, despite Cavor's indignation for his lack of courtesy and the fail for communicate with this new people, they return to the capsule.
When they are back, they discover that the capsule disapeared. Following its steps, they arrive ahead a door they pass thru. There, behind, they no longer need their scubas because the cave contains oxygen. On their way in search of Kate and the capsule, they meet a giant caterpillar. Explorers will be saved by the lunar creatures. With the help of crystals, the Selenites use solar energy to create oxygen to live.
While Bedford delivers Kate who is studied by the creatures, Cavor meets their chief in a mysterious room. He explains it how live the humans, tells it about the countries, policy and wars. Fear to be annihilated by other humans, the chief of the creatures prohibits them to leave back on Earth.
Spoiler ! the end of the story is revealed below…
However, Bedford and Kate will escape and return on Earth, leaving Cavor on the Moon, avid of communication and knowledge, who will have preferred to remain with his new friends.
Thus finished Bedford's story. The lunar expedition searches for the lunar creatures, but the astronautes only discover vestiges of the civilization in which had implied Cavor. It seemed that the aliens immigrated to another planet... So did Cavor.

Administrative Office of Courts
Justice Department approves six-year terms and additional judgeships July 22, 2002 The U.S. Department of Justice on Monday approved a proposed constitutional amendment that would increase Mississippi trial judges' terms from four years to six years. The Justice Department also approved one new county court judgeship each for Madison and Rankin counties. Voters in the Nov. 5 general election will be asked to decide whether to approve the six-year terms for chancery, circuit and county court judges. Mississippi trial and appellate judges support the longer terms. Supreme Court Chief Justice Edwin L. Pittman said, "I'm very much for the six-year terms. They reduce the number of elections required by judicial candidates by a third and consequently, they reduce the money that a judicial candidate has to raise." Justice Pittman said the longer terms allow judges to concentrate on court business rather than elections. Justice Pittman noted that many other states have longer terms for trial judges. Circuit Judge Robert G. Evans of Raleigh, chairman of the Conference of Circuit Judges, said, "Our Constitution contemplates judicial independence and everyone wants it. Six-year terms increase that independence while preserving our right as citizens to select the individual who will preside over our disputes." Rankin County Chancery Judge John S. Grant III, chairman of the Conference of Chancery Judges, said, "It benefits the public by not having as many elections and turnover at such a rapid rate. It maintains better qualified judges over a longer period of time. I think longer terms are in effect in a lot of other states." Hinds County Chancery Judge Denise Owens, immediate past chair of the Conference of Chancery Judges, said that the longer terms would attract high quality candidates. "It would be more appealing for candidates to give up their law practices to run for six instead of four years," Judge Owens said. "It seems that four years is pretty short, compared to other states." Lauderdale County Judge Frank M. Coleman, chairman of the Conference of County Court Judges, said campaigning is a distraction from the work of the judiciary. During the latter year and a half of a term, "you are concentrating on your job plus what the opposition is going to look like and on gathering finances, because you can't wait until the last minute." Senate Bill 2606 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 543, passed by the 2002 Legislature, call for six-year terms, starting with the terms which begin in January 2003. Changing the terms would require a constitutional amendment approved by voters. The 2002 Legislature also passed House Bill 605, which gave Madison and Rankin counties one additional county judge for each county. Each now has one judge to handle a heavy docket of County Court and Youth Court matters. The new Madison and Rankin County Court judges will be elected on the November ballot, with the qualifying deadline 45 days prior to the election, according to the statute. The terms will begin in January 2003, the same as other elected trial court judges' terms. #### |

Sony Pictures Entertainment has already tried threatening members of the media with legal action in a bid to stem the spread of information stolen from its servers by hacker group Guardians of Peace last month. Now it's also decided to try targeting the means of disseminating that information — Motherboard reports the company has promised to sue Twitter unless it bans accounts that are linking to the leaks.
The threat was made in a letter sent by Sony lawyer David Boies to VIjaya Gadde, Twitter's general counsel, and conveyed that the company would "hold Twitter responsible for any damage or loss arising" from the use or continued dissemination of the stolen information. In the letter — which was similar to one sent to publications including The Verge last week — Boies said that his client "does not consent to Twitter's or any Twitter account holder's possession, review, copying, dissemination, publication, uploading, downloading, or making any use of the Stolen Information," and that Sony requests Twitter's cooperation in suspending any accounts found to be sharing the leaked data.
Sony asked that Twitter share the threat with one user who had been linking to the leaks
The letter reportedly requests that Twitter share details of the threat with a specific user: musician Val Broeksmit. Broeksmit, who tweets as @bikinirobotarmy, previously received a direct message from Sony copyright expert Ellliot Ingram after he linked to emails obtained in the cyberattack. "Rather than complaining to Twitter and risk them taking action against your account," the mail read, "we thought we'd get in touch first and ask if you would remove the tweets that we've identified." Broeksmit told Motherboard he didn't take the letter seriously, but that his Twitter account was temporarily suspended.
Social networking site Reddit has taken to banning users who post links to Sony's stolen information, but Twitter has yet to adopt a formal stance to the issue. Under the service's rules, users are not allowed to post personal and private data in tweets themselves, but Twitter says it can't apply that rule to other sites and stop users linking to such information. Sony's legal threat might mean the social network has to revisit the policy.

In the Air Tonight is more than just a lamp that bears the name of a Phil Collins song. This futuristic lamp employs fans and proximity sensors for modulating the ambient music played in the room.
At first, the designers Zenona took into consideration the creation of an analog lamp that alters a flow of smoke with music coming from the speakers. As the results did not meet the expectations, they decided to create a digital model. The body of the lamp incorporates a wooden box that houses two fans, an Arduino single-board microcontroller and proximity sensors.
The fans give the impression that the air gets compressed when placing the hands near the lamp. Their main purpose is to help users better estimate the distance between the lamp and the hands. Initially, the fans were not part of the concept, but the need for a more complex feedback determined the designers to integrate them.
The sound lamp was programmed using Max/MSP (Max Signal Processing), which is a visual programming language for music.
Because of the way the fans work, it is possible to modulate the sound waves without even looking at the lamp. In what concerns the light, LEDs were used for creating an effect that is rather intense, especially in a dark room.
Before deciding which type of proximity sensors to use for altering the sound properties, a few different types were tried. As each sensor modulated the amplitude, frequency, phase, or intensity, the designers picked the ones that achieved the desired effect.
The lamp is called In the Air Tonight because the two capsules float in the air. The design is very intuitive, so people are able to interact with the lamp right away. There is no delay in getting feedback when the hands approach the lamp.

Cast your mind back to last month and you might recall we gave away a wireless speaker, a Fender Newport to be exact. To enter, readers had to submit their track of choice for testing speakers and headphones. We had more than just a few entries (395 uniques to be exact — and one chap who entered an Enigma song 500 times), and slaved away adding the submissions to a collaborative Spotify playlist.
Safe to say we had a few duplicates, a few punts of local artists (which we appreciate — shout out to J. Loops and Lady Zamar, in particular) and a lot of variation. For realz. We've received everything from Majozi and Queen (a lot of Queen), to Toto (and not just 'Africa') and Childish Gambino. The most submitted track? None other than Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. We totally saw that one coming.
Hit play and get ready to get lost in the wide range of music, genres and musical depths on offer. But please be warned, it's all over the place. We don't want to be the reason you accidentally blare 'Despacito' (which, remarkably, was only submitted by one entrant) in your heavy metal-only office.
While there was only one Kanye West track submitted, on the flip side, his arch nemesis Tay-Tay got four submissions. Go T-Swizzle! You managed to introduce us to a South African queen called Lady Zamar, reminded us of our misspent youth with Lit, and kept rock 'n roll alive with a respectable 10 AC/DC submissions (most of them for 'Thunderstruck').
We're making the playlist open to all of you — whether you plan on testing your brand new Sennheisers or just want to relax on a mild winter-day in Jozi with an unsettling — dare we call it 'eclectic'? — range of tracks.
Share it with your boytjies, your girltjies or your ouma. And, as we promised, this will now be our main playlist used to test each and every speaker, headphone, earbud, and even phone speakers. Just because we can. Check it out right here.

Privacy Operations
When it comes to privacy management within your organization, a multi-faceted approach will help you cover every area of the business and stay compliant.
When it comes to privacy management within your organization, a multi-faceted approach will help you cover every area of the business and stay compliant.
Every member of the privacy team should have specific areas of responsibility and defined accountability standards. If there's no one within the company whose primary focus is privacy, an option is to appoint someone to be responsible for privacy. While they don't need to run all the implementation, they can identify what help is needed to do the work—whether internally, externally or both.
Privacy policies and standards should be reviewed regularly to make sure they're easy to understand, match actual company processes, and meet regulatory compliance requirements.
Data inventories, also known as data mapping, are the best way to understand what types of data are being collected and why, who has access to this data, where it's shared or sold, and where it's vulnerable to exposure.
Privacy impact assessments evaluate exposure risks to personal information when implementing new or modifying existing processes, programs, or products.
Consumers have specific rights in how their personal information is collected and used (for example some common ones are right to know, right to deletion, right to opt out, right to non-discrimination), mandated by most data privacy laws. To comply with these laws, companies must have processes that allow individuals to easily and quickly execute these rights.
Businesses can be held liable if data they shared with a third-party vendor is exposed when the vendor is hacked. A vendor risk-management program ensures data controllers and processors adhere to the same privacy standards, and this includes how data is being used. For example, it's critical to know vendors aren't selling data or using it for purposes beyond being a service provider.
A strong data privacy program allows individuals to choose how they receive information, what type of information they want to get (for example, new releases only or every email the company sends to its list), and how often they receive marketing communications, as well as whether their data is shared with other organizations.
Combined with privacy-friendly processes, industry standard reasonable security measures such as multifactor authentication, encryption, password requirements, VPN use, and permission structures provide another layer of protection for valuable data.
Comprehensive training programs build a culture of privacy and help reduce the most common cause of data breaches—human error.
Compliance is a journey, not a destination. To keep up with new regulations and privacy best practices, it's important to establish regular policy reviews, update the data inventory annually, and create a "privacy by design" culture

A Scion Society of The Baker Street Irregulars
A Check Signed by Alice Faulkner, aka Actress Carol Dempster
"… unless she is a most consummate actress …"
– The Adventure of The Cardboard Box (CARD)
Carol Dempster was a silent film actress who appeared in 19 movies between 1915 and 1926. All but one of her films were directed by D. W. Griffith, who she was romantically engaged with during the 1920's. The other film was directed Albert Parker and was Sherlock Holmes that starred John Barrymore. Dempster married banker Edwin S. Larsen in 1929. Upon her death in 1991, her estate left $1.6 million to the San Diego Museum of Art.
Many check collectors collect checks of movie stars for their autographs. Imagine collecting checks of actors who have portrayed Holmes — Barrymore, Rathbone, Cushing, Heston, to name a few.
You can check out Dempster's performance as April Faulkner, and Barrymore, in Sherlock Holmes below.

River Marked by Patricia Briggs
#6 in MERCY THOMPSON
January 2011
326p (Paperback)
Urban Fantasy
Overall I am going to have to say that this is my least favourite book in the series so far. I got to a part in this story right before the main climax in the story that made it hard for me to carry on and enjoy this. With that being said though, I still love this story Patricia Briggs has created.
This story only predominantly features our favourite couple Mercy and Adam during their honeymoon. I commend Patricia Briggs for not dragging the wedding on, we read 4 other books of slow foreplay before Adam and Mercy became a couple, so it was refreshing to see that come to play at the beginning of the book before the plot was introduced. This book is definitely more romance orientated than the others in the series. One feature I feel the book could have benefited from would be a sex scene. I don't think it even needed to be explicit, but if you have read this book you might understand why I say this.
I loved seeing Mercy and Adam being in nearly every scene together. Usually we are given Mercy as a strong, level-headed heroine who is independent and don't need no man. This is still true within this story, she doesn't just submit to Adam, but she is more willing to take into account that she is in a relationship now and has another person feelings to consider. There are a lot of one liner/paragraph long of cute moments between the two that made me squeal with happiness. Although I had firm love for this relationship before this book, I have now become PROUD of it too.
We learn a lot about Mercy's heritage and are presented with the details of Old Joe and her mother. At times I found these parts to be slow and would have to go back and re-read these because I wasn't taking the information in. It was during this section in the middle of the book where I would take any excuse to put this book down. It became to the point where I would read a sentence or two and then stop reading. But once I picked the book back up, I read it all in one sitting. While I did enjoy the ending of the book once I read it, it was tarnished by the middle section and I couldn't get engrossed as much as I usually did with these books.
I love this series for the amazing dynamics Patricia Briggs has created within the pack. The wolves and their politics, while annoyed at time, are a strong part of this series as a whole and you miss that in this book. That being said, I did enjoy seeing Mercy and Adam in love and happy.
With Adam and Mercy being removed from this setting and apart their cutesy moments, this book fell flat.

This year's workshop will focus on examples that expose bad practice and so lead to better appreciation of good practice, as obtained by following sound object-oriented principles. The workshop is held on Sunday, October 25, the day BEFORE the OOPSLA Educators' Symposium. Attend both! The workshop invites submissions of such examples. All participants in the workshop will constructively critique the examples and actively engage in refining them so that they support a clear and sound pedagogy. While there is a formal application procedure to guarantee admission to the workshop, we do accept walk-ins if space permits and if the walk-ins are determined to have adequate interest and background in the workshop theme to be able to contribute positively to the discussions. The deadline for submissions/applications is Tuesday September 8. Early submissions are encouraged. Decisions will be made before the OOPSLA early registration deadline. For more information see: www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/alphonce/KillerExamples/OOPSLA2009/ If you have questions about the workshop, do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail <alphonce(at)buffalo(dot)edu>, with subject line "OOPSLA-2009 Workshop Query".

Thinking about gifting real estate to your children or to charity?
Deni and Brian talk through the tax consequences of giving property, both while you're alive or as part of your last will to transfer in your estate plan.
Audio Podcast Version
Also available on iTunes, Stitcher, and wherever else you listen 🙂
Resources Mentioned in This Podcast & Video:
Brian: Happy holidays, Brian Davis and Dennis, if we hear from Spark Rental, we are super excited to be with you today and we're going to talk today about giving because it is that kind of season, right? So last week we talked about six tax moves to make before the end of 2021. And this week we are sticking with that theme of taxes, but we're talking about the tax implications of giving real estate to either your children or your favorite charities. So, on that note, you know, as we go through this, chime in with your questions and comments, you know, this is an interactive live broadcast. This is not just a polished prerecorded podcast, like most of them out there, it's a little more raw, a little less scripted. We do want to hear from you. And that's why we do it. It's more interactive. So, on that note, Deni, let's jump in and let's talk about giving real estate to your children. yeah, let's start with the basics of terminology here. What is your cost basis in real estate?
Deni: Your cost basis is the price on the person originally bought the property for. So then there's a step-up cost basis, and that is the value at the time of the person who purchased the property's debt.
Brian: If they die.
Deni: Right. Right.
Brian: Giving property to your children. There are two scenarios here. One, you could give them a property today, you know, while you're still alive, which has different tax consequences from leaving your property in your will to your children for after you die. And the step-up in that cost basis that applies if you leave a property in your will to your children to receive after you die. So, the cost basis resets from what you paid for the property to the value of the property at the time of your death. And that's something that some people in Congress are looking to get rid of that step up in cost basis. You know, the reset of the cost basis at the time of death because they want to tax more of those inheritances, right? So, but that does not happen if you give someone a property while you are still alive. The cost basis is still whatever you paid for the property. So, if you bought the property back in 1990 for $100000 and today it's worth a million dollars. The cost basis is one hundred thousand dollars, and you have nine hundred thousand in gains on that. Or at least you have nine thousand dollars in equity gained equity. But that doesn't become a realized gain until you sell the property, at which time you would pay taxes on that gain in value.
Deni: Right. And those are estate taxes. There are gift taxes too. It's as though that's a whole other issue, so you have to be really careful and be very fastidious and in making sure how you plot this out. You know, so that you can save your children money and yourself with all of this because. It can even be different in your community, property states and everything else, so make sure that you know what you're doing and don't assume.
Brian: And make sure you speak with an accountant or a tax lawyer about this because it's like then you just said it does get complicated quickly. But whether you are alive or dead when you give the property has a big impact on the tax consequences if you live there. Gift taxes apply. If you are dead, then estate taxes apply, right? And there's a big exemption for estate taxes. I think it's 5.7 Seven million dollars or something like that. Yeah, we should know that.
Deni: We probably should. But you know what? They change this stuff. Like every year we're going to be talking about how to give to charities. And I think last year, and I think this year to one hundred percent. Of your AGI, is it adjusted gross income can be used for you can pretty much give all your money away?
Brian: Right? Well, let's before we move on to charitable giving, let's talk about one or two more details about giving property to your children and the tax consequences of it and other rules. So, Deni before this show, you and I were actually talking about a little bit more of an obscure rule that's important to know here for older adults, and that's the Medicare rule. So, tell us a little bit about how that works. If you are an older adult, you're thinking about giving away all your worldly possessions, including your real estate to your grown children, and then applying for Medicare subsidies. How does that work?
Deni: Well, Medicare will look back five years, so if you a lot of people have really quick thought, oh my goodness, I'm probably going to need long-term care. I'm going to sell my stuff right now and then apply. Well, it doesn't work that way. You have to kind of plan it out, so you have to. Either gift, give or sell your properties at least five years in advance because they will look back.
Brian: Right, so otherwise Medicare will consider those assets even though you've sold them or given them away, they will still consider them as part of your assets and net worth when they're reviewing your application for financial aid and assistance with long-term care coverage or long-term care support.
Deni: And let's face it, a stay in a nursing facility that can eat up. Yes, that can eat up in us, you know everything, basically.
Brian: Yeah. So just to tie this all back together. So, if you inherit a property from your parents who have died, you know, as part of their estate, the cost basis resets to the value at the time of their death. And if you were to sell that property immediately, then you don't know any capital gains taxes on it or any income taxes on it. Assuming that the estate was below. That exempts limit, which is pretty significant. It's over $5 million as of right now, anyway. Constantly changing. Now, if you hold on to that property for the next few years, for example, and more equity builds in that property, then when you go to sell, you will have to pay capital gains taxes on any new equity that has accrued in that property since your parents died. So, keep that in mind.
Deni: Now, jerry Warner has said, we haven't mentioned trusts instead of gifting. Why not? Because they're very complicated, but that is another avenue to explore. And a lot, you know, it makes sense to do it that way, but with that, you want to get an attorney, somebody I know we have talked here with Sarge Grubbs. He handles things like that. And if anybody wants his contact information, just reach out to us. We'll make sure you get it. But trusts are complicated. They can be a little expensive to create.
Brian: And there are many different types of trusts. Further, complicate matters.
Deni: Exactly. But it is not a bad way to handle, especially giving it to your kids.
Brian: Yeah, they're useful in estate planning, both in minimizing the probate process for your children, but also for designating assets to continue generating wealth for many decades to come for your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. So, yeah, trust can be very useful, and they can have some tax advantages if you structure them properly. And again, that's where an attorney comes in. Don't try to do it yourself with trusts. That is definitely an area where diying is not going to work out so well for you. Go get an attorney to help you with that.
Deni: And you know, if you have enough assets, you want to be careful about doing any of this yourself because it can get quite complicated.
Brian: Yeah, and if you're not careful, you can run afoul of the taxman and end up owing more than you necessarily have to.
Deni: Right. Or your children could.
Brian: And Jerry asks, does the new basis price apply to investment properties, or is it limited to personal residences? So, my understanding Deni and correct me if I'm wrong, is that that applies to all properties, not just primary residences. And again, you know, this all falls under the umbrella of the estate tax exemption. So, you know, the first X number of millions of dollars' worth of your estate is estate tax free for your heirs. And Deni just put a link there in the comments to an article that we have this all about how to minimize your capital gains taxes on real estate. You know, both primary residences and also investment properties. Then is there anything you wanted to add on to what I just said there?
Deni: I just can't drive it home, as you can see at my twisted tongue. You must get professionals for You know you want to invest. That's the idea. And you want to invest to make money, and you maybe want to invest to provide, you know, something for your children. But you also want to be smart about planning. And for that reason, you want to make sure and get all of your top financial planners and estate planners on board.
Brian: All right, let's switch gears, let's talk about giving to charity here as opposed to giving to your children. So, Deni tell us about charitable contributions of, you know, not just cash but of real estate to nonprofit organizations.
Deni: Well, you can. You can gift real estate to charities, and I know that there have been I've seen it done before. You know, we're even churches will get a building. Somebody will give them a building and they'll use it for a church. Now it's different now. You can deduct up to one hundred percent right now. It used to be 50 percent, but 100 percent of your adjusted gross income, I believe. But there are some
Brian: Temporary rule during the pandemic or is that a permanent change in the tax law?
Deni: I've been trying to find if this is going to continue on right now, it was in 2020. They haven't. I haven't been able to read anything about what's going to happen for 2021.
Brian: They would have announced that by now.
Deni: Well, yeah, and they may have, and I just couldn't see it out there. So, it tells me that it's probably going to continue,
Brian: But keep your special exception for 2020.
Deni: Yes. But now I know that another special.
Brian: Well, so I mean, to cut you off, they're sorry.
Deni: Deni Oh no, I just we all just have to be very, very. Going on right now because they change things so quickly, and it's so you got to be watchful. But I haven't seen where it's going to change from that hundred percent yet.
Brian: Yeah, and there have been a couple of those exceptions to the rules made during the pandemic. So, for example, you are allowed to claim a certain amount of money as a charitable contribution during the pandemic, even if you take the standard deduction rather than itemizing your deductions. I believe it's three hundred dollars and that was initially just for 2020, and then I believe they extended it to 2021, where you can take up to three hundred dollars in. You can deduct up to $300 in charitable contributions this year, even if you take the standard deduction cap, which is not how it has been historically. Historically, you can only deduct charitable contributions if you itemize your deductions rather than taking the standard deduction, which of course most people do nowadays because it has been, it was raised so much higher by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
Deni: Right, and most real estate investors, I would think itemize, but again, not all, but a lot.
Brian: Well, and keep in mind that with investment properties, you don't have to itemize your deductions in order to take deductions for your rental properties, your investment properties, because those fall in a different schedule. That's those expenses are on your business income, your rental income from your properties. So, you do. You can take the standard deduction and still deduct your expenses for your rental properties. So just bear that in mind. We'll talk more about rental property deductions in February when everyone scrambling to do their taxes. But what about properties with mortgages that you give to nonprofit organizations, Deni?
Deni: Well, if a charity is willing to accept that, then you have to realize that you don't get full value. I mean, obviously whatever mortgage is on there is not being donated. So, I mean, you have to take that into consideration.
Brian: Equity in the property that you're effectively donating.
Deni: Right. So, and not all charities are going to accept that they have to be pretty savvy and have a pretty good, you know, financial background in order to even do something like that.
Brian: Yeah. Only your larger charities can typically accept real estate as a donation.
Deni: A person can pre give Jerry again, thank you, Jerry, by the way, for your questions and your comments. A person can give 2022 this year and itemized for 2021 and then take the standard in 2022 and save even more tax. Wow.
Brian: It's a great tip.
Deni: Yeah, it is. So again, these are the reasons why talk to Jerry. Just kidding. No, these are the reasons why research has to be continually done because things are so different and changing constantly. But anyway. There are different circumstances where you would give a, you know, that is advantageous for you to give a property or but you have to have in order to give a property for charity. One is that it has to be held for more than one year and it should be debt-free. I know we talked about it having a mortgage before, but generally, if you're going to donate property, it should be debt-free.
Brian: So, Deni. Are you saying you're saying that you cannot donate property to charity if you have owned them for less than one year?
Deni: Yes. The property has to be held for more than one year. And you are willing to transfer the property irrevocably to either a donor-advised fund or whatever public charity you're choosing. Which you negotiate the sale price and everything else, so. All in all, again, whether you're giving it to your kids, whether you're giving it to a charity, you really, really, really have to talk to a financial expert. I mentioned Serge Grubbs, but you also want to maybe talk to an accountant who knows your circumstances. You just don't want to take these things lightly. You want to plan them out. You certainly don't want to be all of a sudden. And, you know, God forbid, something happens. And you have properties that are sitting there, and your kids have to deal with it, and you'd be surprised how often that happens. People don't plan. And then the kids are not only left with probate and everything else but also taxes and capital gains and gift taxes and whatnot.
Brian: So just to recap, if you take the standard deduction this year, you can write off you can deduct up to three hundred dollars of charitable donations if you give a piece of property. If you donate a piece of property to a nonprofit, you're probably going to want to itemize your deductions so that you can deduct the equity that you had in that property from your tax return. Now, Deni are there any limits on the amount that you can deduct for charitable donations?
Deni: I haven't seen any limits just that you have unless you're donating a mortgaged property, but overall, you just want to make sure that you have a decent that you own it outright.
Brian: Now that being said, even though there aren't any specified limits on that deduction, if you do claim a very large charitable donation deduction that is an audit trigger with the IRS. So, you may get a little tap at the door from the IRS if you claim a very large charitable donation as a deduction on your tax return. So just bear that in mind. And once again, it helps if your accountant prepares your tax return for you in these scenarios so that they can talk to the IRS about that if they come a knocking with questions rather than you having to explain your tax return.
Deni: I think the mentality sometimes going to throw this out there, it's Robert Kiyosaki that says you should build a team, you know, and the how important it is to do that because and this is precisely why because it's complicated these things and you don't want to do. We have a do-it-yourself, society. Watch YouTube, do it yourself. But there are some things where you have to build a team.
Brian: You know, when it comes to taxes and the law, you do need expert help. All right. Deni any final comments that you want to make here to tie this all together before we call this episode complete?
Deni: Well, we can't call this episode complete because we are announcing a winner today. I don't know if everybody that's tuning in right now knows that we have been offering a one year right one-year prop stream subscription
Brian: Or paid membership with prop stream $1200 value,
Deni: Which is pretty good and it's a really good resource for real estate investors.
Brian: Fantastic software.
Deni: So, we asked everybody to fill out a survey. We got a pretty good response. And Tara spun the wheel. You all get to see that on Facebook later.
Brian: But the video of her spinning the virtual wheel to choose the words exactly.
Deni: But we will announce the winner and the winner is Lori Dawson. So, congratulations, Laurie, and contact Tara. And she has your email and everything. But we will set that up for you and you'll be notified when it all goes through, and you can start using your prop stream.
Brian: All right, guys, on that note, happy Tuesday. Happy holidays. Merry Christmas, and we will see you guys' next week for the last broadcast of 2021.
Deni: Yes, so everybody be safe and merry Christmas.
Brian: Have a good one, guys. Talk to you soon. Bye-bye.

"Who knows? Have patience. Go where you must go and hope!" -Gandalf
I had to start this blog post off with a Lord of the Rings quote because, why not? This past year has been an exercise in patience as well as growth. It has been a series of ups and downs with small victories and hardships experienced equally. Although these two semesters were not what I was expecting, I found a space to grow and discovered opportunities and interests that I hope to explore and pursue post graduation.
Returning to school, my main goal was to gain additional training and to network with others. As someone who learns visually and through hands on experience, the opportunity to work closely with an arts organization was appealing to me. I ended up being paired with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra (WCO) and I have learned a great deal during my time with this organization. As the Education and Community Associate I have assisted in the expansion of Super Strings, a program that brings free violin lessons to underserved children in the Madison area. Through this work I have learned about what it means to be a collaborator, communicator, and leader. Most importantly, I was able to put these lessons into practice and this experience has furthered my own interest in community work and programming.
My time in this program has given me not only leadership experience but also allowed me to discover new pathways for myself. One class that was meaningful to me in this respect was Arts Entrepreneurship. This course included class discussions, guest speakers, and projects centered around arts entrepreneurship. One term that has stuck with me is the word 'multipotentialite' or someone who has multiple interests and talents. Entrepreneurship is the best pursuit for a multipotentialite as it affords flexibility and makes it possible to pursue and combine various interests. I identify as a multipotentialite and before this class, I was unsure of how I could combine my interests into a tangible project. This course inspired me and birthed the idea of Artful Biking, a summer event that will engage Black Women and take them on artful rides around the Madison area. In addition to biking and art, there will be opportunities to attend bike workshops to learn about bike safety and maintenance. Following graduation, I am hoping to spend a year planning out Artful Biking's maiden season to present in the Summer of 2022.
I am incredibly thankful and grateful for the Bolz Center of Arts Administration and the opportunities, support and knowledge I have gained during my time in the MA: Arts & Creative Enterprise program. Before my time in this program there was this sense of lack of direction. I knew I wanted to work in the arts but I did not know in what capacity or how I could be involved in the arts while also maintaining and pursuing other interests. This program has given me a new perspective and I am so excited to begin a new journey after I graduate. The journey is in discovery. To quote Gandalf once more and to add my own twist to this loved quote, "all we have to decide is what to do with the time and talents that are given to us."

The Venus retrograde period is often considered to be a solitary event during which Venus matters, such as relationships, finances and values, are reassessed. But the retrograde period is much more than just a review period. From a Transpersonal Astrology perspective, it is necessary to understand where the Venus retrograde occurs within the context of its entire cycle to be clear about how to best approach it.
In part one of our series, we described the nature of the Venus cycle and laid out its significant dates. In this part 3, we will focus on just one of those dates, January 8, when retrograde Venus conjuncted the Sun in the middle of the retrograde period. The significance of this "Inferior Conjunction" alignment is that it marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next. This sensitive transition point can correspond to palpable shifts in focus and activity at the threshold of the two cycles.
It is important to consider that the entire Venus retrograde occurs in the sign of Capricorn, which extends Venus' travels through this practical earth sign to about four months rather than the usual four weeks. Capricorn can be about making plans and organizing, yet more importantly it is focused on management and execution. This Venus retrograde in Capricorn, therefore, archetypally focuses us on the need to make plans that are realistically executable. This means we need to determine whether we have the knowledge, skills, resources, collaborators and most importantly the commitment necessary to create the structure or container needed to carry out our plans.
In the first part of the retrograde, we may have felt a sense that something in our relationships or values needs to end so that something new can begin. Because of Pluto's involvement in this cycle, letting go of something held deeply within may feel like a death. However, because the experiences are so intensified, we are being given a clear understanding of deep truths which we must not ignore for to do so might force us to repeat destructive behaviors and relationships. In other words, we must let go in order for a new path forward to be revealed and embraced.
Metaphorically, this is like harvesting the seed of the old cycle, its concentrated DNA, and planting it in the new one so it can continue to grow and flourish at a new level of being. For example, at the beginning of the retrograde, a business partnership began talking about the need to create more content for use in gaining influence within their market but realized they had no clear plan for this. Once the Inferior Conjunction happened, they initiated discussions on what kind of structure they could create, within their limitations, that would ensure a steady stream of content. By the time the retrograde ends on January 29, they should have a clear plan that is ready to execute.
To summarize: The pre-Inferior Conjunction phase of the Venus retrograde is a time when we often feel a push to put effort into getting clear on what is most important. Clarity is often achieved around the Inferior Conjunction when the Sun/Venus archetypes of will and values are unified. Then in the post-Inferior Conjunction phase of the retrograde we can act on that clarity and begin creating the structure needed to begin executing our plans once Venus turns direct.

Unionist parties in censorship row after demanding removal of painting showing 'Orangemen in KKK clothing'
The Royal Ulster Academy has refused to bow to demands from two political parties to remove the work
More than 300 works are on display in Northern Ireland's biggest visual arts show, but a controversy erupted this week over a square inch of canvas.
The Royal Ulster Academy has refused to bow to demands from two political parties to remove an award-winning painting from the 134th Annual Exhibition at the Ulster Museum, which followed complaints from the Orange Order who said it depicts members wearing Ku Klux Klan clothing.
Christian Flautists Outside St Patrick's was the last painting by acclaimed Irish artist Joseph McWilliams, who died last month. He was posthumously awarded The Irish News Prize for the work.
On Wednesday, the Orange Order complained that a small blurred section "depicts a number of Orangemen wearing Ku Klux Klan clothing". They deny it ever happened calling it "deliberate demonization". It has prompted calls from unionist political party Traditional Unionist Voice to remove the painting from display. The Democratic Unionist Party also criticised the work.
Academy president Denise Ferran said the work would not be removed over the disputed square inch of a canvas that is seven foot by five foot as it would be an attack on artistic freedom.
"I never noticed this tiny little corner of the picture. I saw swirls of flags and bystanders. You really need a huge magnifying glass to spot it," she told The Independent. "It could well be what they say they see in it. They could also be catholic penitents or a group of cardinals, it's splodges of paint."
The subject matter relates to the Young Conway Volunteers on a Twelfth march in 2012, who had permission to pass the Catholic church but not play any music. Instead they marched in a circle playing the sectarian Famine Song.
Dr Ferran said. "It was seen as tremendous provocation. It has recently been going through the courts so you can see why the Orange Order is sensitive to a painting depicting imagery like that."
The Academy has subsequently put up notices saying some people may be offended by the exhibition. Dr Ferran said: "What we will not do is take the picture down. Once you go down that road, the problems will never cease."
She added: "I'm delighted we're not a moribund crowd of old stooges. We are causing provocation, which is what an academy of artists should be doing."
A spokesman for the Orange Order said putting up the disclaimers was a "necessary step and at least some acknowledgement of the genuine concerns of the institution and many in the wider community to the inaccurate and misleading nature of the painting in question".
He added that the group had not called for the painting to be removed from display saying "the Orange Order does not actively support censorship".
A spokesman for the Order said its members were entitled to feel outraged that "a major publicly funded facility should display such artwork which is deeply offensive to their traditions."
It added the organisation had "no hesitation in condemning the extremist views of the KKK and to imply any comparison is as mischievous as it is insulting." The KKK is a US-based racist organisation opposed to desegregation laws.
The Academy was last embroiled in a similar controversy in 2011 when artist Ross Wilson submitted a portrait of Mary Traverse, who was killed by the IRA prompting complaints from Sinn Fein.
"We listened to their complaints, but we did not take the picture down," Dr Ferran said. "We are listening to the Orange Order's complaint. I respect that but I also respect the right of the artist to have his picture up."

'Cannibal cop' found guilty
(CNN) -- New York police officer Gilberto Valle conspired to kidnap women, who prosecutors argued he planned to rape, torture, cook and eat, a federal jury decided Tuesday.
Valle's lawyers argued the former police officer's e-mails and online postings were just "fantasy role-play" and"dark improv theater," but prosecutors said he was "deadly serious."
Valle, 28, faces life in prison for the kidnap conspiracy conviction. He was also found guilty of illegally accessing a federal law enforcement database.
The database, which Valle was trained to use and had access to as a cop, helped him research potential victims, prosecutors said.
No one was ever kidnapped or eaten, but the jury did see what prosecutors said were detailed plans to carry out Valle's plot.
A document found on his wife's laptop was titled "Abducting and Cooking Kimberly -- A Blueprint." It included a photograph of Kimberly Sauer and personal information, including her bra size and shoe size. Sauer's testimony revealed that some of the information -- a different last name, birthplace, birth date and college education -- was inaccurate.

Heartland started out as a fascinating project developing new vineyards in the woody hinterland of South Australia's Limestone Coast. The flavours these grapes produced were awesome, but they couldn't keep up with demand, so began to blend in softer, juicier fruit from Langhorne Creek. So the wines are not now quite so eye-popping, but the remarkable Limestone Coast flavours are still there: eucalyptus, rosemary, lemon verbena acidity, intense blackcurrant - and these are mixed with a black purple scent, black treale and licorice bittersweet depth from Langhorne Creek. Well worth a try.

Tasting notes: A purple rim encompasses a core of deep ruby. The aromas are surprisingly dominated by red rather than black fruits and hints of spice. The blackberry fruit of the palate is accompanied by a playlist of spices, with cinnamon and licorice on high rotation.
Vinification: The Shiraz was de-stemmed, crushed and pumped over twice a day for ten days. The wine was matured in older oak barrels for twelve months prior to bottling.
