Tips for Surviving Junior Year of High School
As it is infamously known, junior year is no walk in the park. It is said to be the most pivotal in a student's high school career, but no pressure, right? Beyond the immense amount of work, whether its Advanced Placement courses or standardized test preparation, junior year also entails the stress of beginning the college process. The expectation to exceed (let alone survive) is at its peak and coming out on top- in one piece- is no easy task. It's intimidating to comprehend what lies ahead for a rising junior, but rest assured, the survival rate is shockingly high. Veterans can attend to the fact that yes, junior year is mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. Sleepless nights, tears, and moments where making it out alive seem near impossible are inevitable.
All those components aside, accomplishing junior year is one of the most rewarding achievements and as scary as it seems, making it out alive, in one piece, and extremely proud of yourself is very much possible. Reference the following tips and you are sure to survive junior year.
stay organized// organization will only help to balance out work, studying, and stress. Utilize a planner for the entirety of the year to remind yourself of important dates and what exactly you need to accomplish. Have a binder or folder for each class to keep track of documents and notes that will come in handy when test time comes around.
stay proactive// when it comes to papers, projects, and even tests, do not procrastinate. Make use of free time to get ahead and knock out future work and studying whenever possible. You won't feel as overwhelmed and it really helps to study a bit each day rather than waiting till the night before. Getting stuff done and out of the way is really rewarding and will have you feeling a lot less stressed.
stay positive// amongst the stresses and expectations, it's so easy to feel discouraged. When times seem unbearable, maintain a positive attitude and constantly assure yourself of your capabilities. Don't drag yourself down when the going gets tough; persevere and keep going all while maintaining a smile.
stay motivated// motivate yourself to get past the rough times. Don't let a bad grade discourage you and don't be too hard on yourself. Learn from your mistakes and let them motivate you to improve and work even harder next time. Remind yourself that hard work pays off and keep pushing through no matter the obstacles you face, one hurdle at at time .
stay composed// don't be afraid to cry. Let it out when necessary, but assure yourself that everything will be fine. Having composure amidst moments of high stress will keep you balanced and allow you to focus on what's important. Resort to activities that get your mind off of things whether it be practicing yoga, reading, or exercising.

To meet changing regulatory requirements, a utility decided in 2014 to excavate or close many of its coal ash basins but needed an innovative solution to complete the clean closure of ash ponds at multiple generating stations.
Charah Solutions provided a turnkey solution, meeting engineering and regulatory challenges, which became a long-term commitment to safely move ash from multiple power plants to a clay mine.
As part of this unique high-volume material handling project, Charah Solutions provides all siting, design, permitting, construction, and QA/QC engineering. To support the project's innovative logistics coordination, Charah Solutions provides rail delivery and unloading infrastructure, cell lining and mine reclamation, and leachate collection and transport to offsite treatment facilities.
To support this high-volume mass movement logistics operation, five unit trains and their infrastructure and logistics were employed. Approximately two miles of rail spurs were installed, approximately 6.45 million square feet of HDPE liner was installed for the Subtitle D Lined Engineered Fill, two 500,000-gallon leachate collection tanks were installed, and six cells in total were installed for electrical system for leachate pumps and cell side slope leachate sumps.
Charah Solutions designed, built, owns, and operates a Subtitle D equivalent engineered fill site for utilization of coal ash in clay mine reclamation. Current production is 300,000 tons per month and construction activities financed by Charah Solutions on a per ton basis.
Upon completion, the clay mine will hold up to 12 million tons of coal ash and will convert 300+ acres of unusable land to industrial development.

I've never been much of a UFO kind of guy; in fact, the only times I believe intelligent beings from another universe visited Earth is when I see a Shakespeare or George Bernard Shaw play.
Those people couldn't have been mere Earthlings.
So, London could be my Roswell, N.M., and theater companies around the world might be my underground grotto at Area 51, because that is where you usually find the works of the above mentioned alien beings.
Those thoughts most recently orbited my head when I saw another otherworldy production, Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe," at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.
This is a hysterical musical tale of politics and scandal, which begins a quarter-century after Iolanthe (Michele Schroeder), a most beloved fairy, married a mortal (a capital offense under fairy law). The mortal in question here is government official Lord Chancellor (F. Lawrence Ewing); not only is he Iolanthe's estranged husband, but he is the father of her child, Strephon (Samuel Rabinowitz), and to complicate matters more, Strephon is seriously in love with Phyllis (Alexandra Sessler), who happens to be the Lord Chancellor's ward (and a young woman whom everyone in Parliament has a mad crush on).
Strephon and Phyllis urge Iolanthe to appeal their case to the Lord Chancellor, but in doing so, she must confess to the queen of fairies she is married to him. That, of course, would lead to big trouble.
It all sounds silly and fanciful, but the political themes and implications of this 19th-century comedy extended deep into British and American societies. Indeed, Gilbert and Sullivan's comments on Britain's House of Lords were scathing enough to have some calling for examination of the real-life rules of Parliament and role of the Lord Chancellor.
There is also the nice subplot for Strephon, who, with the fairies, puts Parliament under his spell and proposes legislation that includes the notion that government service should be open to everyone, based on competence, rather than class status.
What makes the show so wonderful is that no satirical punches were either pulled or telegraphed. The excellent cast delivers the material as if it made complete sense rather than represented any number of degrees of whimsy.
Director Barbara Heroux, with the help of musical director Baker Peeples and some lovely choreography, has created a colorful and fanciful land for both the fairies and mortals.
Ewing, as the slick and sly Lord Chancellor, was delightfully droll in his role, which affords him one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most difficult and funny patter songs — "Love, Unrequited, Robs Me of My Rest ("when you're lying awake with a dismal headache …") — and performs it brilliantly.
The other principals were equally entertaining. Sessler and Rabinowitz made an excellent young couple in love, Schroeder was a delight as Iolanthe, Cary Ann Rosko played the Queen of the Fairies beautifully, and William H. Neil was hilarious as Private Willis of the Grenadier Guards.

I always end a run with a few minutes of abdominal work because nothing feels better than a tight core at the end of a workout!
Most people have a hard time doing ab work because they always stick with the standard crunch and get bored or burned out quickly. So I have demonstrated 4 core exercises below that you can do ANYWHERE, I was at the beach which makes it all the easier of course!
I suggest doing a circuit with these and maybe repeating it a couple of times for a great 8-10 minute core workout.
1. The Scissor kick/lower lift combo. I like this one because it is different and works the lower abs so great. Keep the tailbone nailed to the floor or concrete wall (when by the ocean doesn't matter right!). I did 8 reps of each of the 4 variations of this move with my chin to chest the entire time. If you are on the floor your hands can be below your bottom or behind your head.
2. The Ab Bridge (forearm). This is a great one for the entire core as it targets more than just the six-pack muscles and helps to create a flat stomach.
3. The Side Plank for obliques are some of my favorite and you feel them quickly. I did a set of 8 for each move then repeated with sets of 4 before going to the other side.
4. The Ultimate At-Home move: The Mountain Climber! try to do it correctly for 1 minute using your core to bring your legs in as high as you can but keep you light on your feet. Don't get scared watching me on this one! I look like I Am about to tackle you through the video but that's just my focus face and it ain't pretty:)
Then repeat!!

Identifying those at risk of developing cancer is an important part of effective risk management that increases the potential of prolonging one's life. With genomic technology advancing rapidly, the ability to practice personalized medicine and tailor patient care based on individual risk is now possible. At the Women's Wellness clinic, we specialize in hereditary cancer screening, interpretation and management using myRisk. If you have a family history of cancer, please consider taking this short, less than 1 minute, quiz here.
Every person fits into one of three risk categories for cancer: those that carry sporadic, familial or hereditary cancer risk.
Identifying which category an individual fits into is necessary to correctly adapt screening and management decisions. Additionally, a focus on family history and risk stratification allows the opportunity to detect those individuals who carry one of several genetic mutations that dramatically increase their risk of developing cancer.
In our practice, we offer myRisk hereditary cancer panel, a 28-gene panel that identifies elevated risk for eight different cancers: breast, ovarian, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, melanoma, prostate and endometrial. A review of the patient's family history may include first cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, grandparents and great grandparents. Information about all cancers on both sides of the family, including what age they occurred, is necessary and may include such examples as: breast cancer before age 50 or multiple breast cancers in the same person, male breast cancer, ovarian cancer or colon cancer before age 50.
We encourage you to gather as much information about your family history as possible prior to your screening visit. At the screening visit we discuss family history and evaluate whether a woman qualifies for genetic testing, along with explaining more about the test and follow-up. If so, her family history of cancer and blood work are submitted to the genetic testing lab. A follow-up appointment is then made to discuss the results and management plan.

Corvus Energy's AT6500 Module is the New Standard in Battery Power and Safety
Corvus Energy's 6.5 kWh batteries are the world's most powerful and safest lithium-polymer batteries
Corvus Energy, the makers of a revolutionary lithium-polymer battery, announced today that its 6.5 kWh batteries passed the requirements of Lloyd's Register Type Approval certification tests.
Lloyd's Register North America, Inc., a member of the Lloyd's Register Group and one of the world leaders in assessing business processes and products to internationally recognized standards, assessed the AT6500 module according to the applicable standards and specifications.
"Lloyd's Register is pleased to provide Type Approval for Corvus Energy's lithium-polymer battery," said Bud Streeter, vice president of Lloyd's Register North America, Inc. and marine manager for Canada. "As an unbiased, third-party organization, we verify that Corvus Energy's AT6500 module conforms to the producer's specification, to national and international standards, and that an appropriate level of product safety is achieved."
An independent accredited laboratory stress tested the 6.5 kWh AT6500 module for more than three hours in each perpendicular direction. The module performed satisfactorily and did not suffer any damage. It was tested at 4g RMS levels, exerting four times earth's gravity, for six hours in all three orientations, as per trucking test specifications. It survived 30g shock, exerting 30 times the earth's gravity, in every direction, as per U.S. Military test specifications. In every case, the AT6500 module worked as expected. Lloyd's Register verified that the test results satisfied the requirements of its published performance and environmental test specification for products used in marine and offshore applications (Lloyd's Register Test Specification Number 1, 2002).
"Our AT6500 module's energy and safety claims are so much superior to other battery companies that potential customers have been shocked by 'it's too good to be true' quality," said Brent Perry, CEO of Corvus Energy. "Lloyd's Register Type Approval will provide industry-wide confidence in the next generation of batteries."
Corvus Energy's AT6500 module can withstand being irradiated with high-intensity signals, even with disturbance signals intentionally added to any of the cables. Corvus' batteries are able to effectively communicate with other batteries in the array and the array controller in conditions to be expected in the marine environment. The battery management system (BMS) does not produce any harmful noise emissions � radiated or conducted � and it can be used in any vessel without interfering with other equipment.
The AT6500 can be assembled in packs of up to 1,000 V while guaranteeing the safety of the operators and users from high-voltage electricity. The modules, which have the capacity to output sustained power comparable to diesel engines, can survive temperatures of -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
About Corvus Energy:
Corvus Energy is based in Richmond, B.C. and provides industrial-sized power in a compact, modular lithium-polymer battery system to the commercial marine industry, transportation industry, ports machinery, remote community, off grid and grid energy markets. Its revolutionary battery modules have the capacity to output sustained power comparable to diesel engines in hybrid and full-electric vessels and vehicles. For more information on Corvus Energy, visit www.corvus-energy.com or call (604) 227-2080.

A bright Summer's day and as September kicks off it's time for another refresh of Cardiff's 300 foot long wall at Sevenoaks Park.
Nestling in the Grangetown part of the city – first up was this stretch of wall featuring the talents of Myles Elliot, Unity Millimagic, Jams and Mr Draws.
Unity's B-Girl took centre stage complete with shoutouts to Resh and Sadsak. All totally stunning!
Next to this was work from Mr Draws who made the trip over from Bristol to paint his trademark mountain range style in a similar colour palette.
Further along more recent work had appeared from the MK and CV crews and 'stick' stuck up high.
Next was this distinctive pink pig – can anyone id the artist in this wild piece!?
A new artist to the Cardiff is Sotep who also strapped a Gopro to his head and posted this video on Youtube for everyone to watch!
Moving along and in one corner is the latest work from Litra, Amok, Somes and Sotep. (not much room left for anymore!)

Perfect for the oke, the hipster and the creative types.
I've been on more face palm blind dates than there are frozen peas in a packet. These 'Surviving Blind Date' tips will make you a pro in no time. Pick the right restaurant and you're sorted, even if the date is a disaster, you'll always remember the food - which will make for a wicked blog post.A speedy Facebook or Twitter stalk is always of paramount importance – I introduce the Top 3 types: 1. The Hipster2. The Manly oke (as they say in Joburg)3. The Creative Choose the type, then pick the appropriate restaurant and whether Cupid decides to aim that pointy arrow at your heart or not - a good meal will always be guaranteed. The Hipster Blind Dinner DateHe wears check shirts buttoned neck high. His slick side-parted hair sits just right & you envy his Wayfarer specs. Log onto Facebook - 'computer says yes'. No need to wash your hair for this one but book a table at The Foundry @FoundryCafe in Parktown North, Jozi Town. Hipsters love a bit of Foundry action – craft beer on tap – tick, charcuterie boards that make your heart flutter – tick, appropriate mood lighting without it being awkward (you are strangers after all) – tick. Back to Charcuterie boards – sweet cheeses they're good! So good, you won't care about the dull conversation, just order a second board and wash it down with a Jack Black. Overall rating – take your hipsters to The Foundry, the charcuterie will change your life, even if their side-parting doesn't. The Creative Blind Dinner DateThe creative/ artsy/ inner city type. Again – no need to wash the hair, just slip on a pair of your best Converse and head into town to Jozi's best hotdog joint – Great Dane @fknGreatDane of course. If smacking 'The Hunter' – a dog with lashings of chilli paste, mature cheddar cheese, caramelised onions and sliced jalapenos doesn't make a boy fall in love with you while sipping a cold beer… well I just don't know! Mr Creative might not blow your mind but Great Danes' dogs sure will.The Manly 'Oke' Blind Dinner Date If you're a single girl in Jozi Town you've probably been on a date with an 'oke' - those manly guys who love their sport, love their beer and like to braai. You have to go with the meaty option here ladies - okes usually aren't vegetarians. Smashing burgers or steaks the size of your face is OK in this scenario. Hello Local Grill. Their Ultimate Steak Sandwich saved my life – literally. The date was hideous, the oke's only concern was the size of his mags – thank heavens for large 'sammiches' – they can't see you rolling your eyes.The moral of the story? Blind dates can go either way but remember – there's a restaurant for every type of dinner date – disastrous or not, pick wisely for ultimate success.By Leila Saffarian - follow her on Twitter @LeilaSaffa

"The foster care system taught me to be self motivated and leave no corner unturned. It taught me resilience, independence, hard work, determination and above all, strategy and timing."
Jhamasa Lewis-Adams shares #HerStory:
"My worst experience in foster care was being adopted by someone who was once a foster parent. I had other experiences but this one is at the top because I was mentally and emotionally abused. I thought that this was my chance at family and love but it wasn't. It was eye opening to live with a narcissist and to experience how adults will knowingly take advantage of children.
What I needed most when I emancipated was a true friend and shelter. I needed someone that understood my dreams and could guide me to a path that would get me there. I needed a home and to learn what it takes to sustain one. I needed time to figure myself out, and where I wanted to go. When I emancipated I needed love.
The best advice I would give is to not be average, and to think outside the box. Question everything not because of lack of trust but because of curiosity and the obligation of being an independent thinker at a young age. I would say make education a priority, as well as self examination. Stay optimistic and find your peace. Have faith with a positive attitude and everything will work out in your favor."
-Jhamasa Lewis-Adams

2016 Intimate Resistance, Galleria Huuto - Jätkäsaari-Jätkä 1. Helsinki. 10.9.-25.9.2016
Intimate Resistance exhibition features photographs, installations and video stories that reflect on forgetting history and how world history events displace entire communities and their microcultures, which then integrate with the majority culture and run the risk of ceasing to exist.
Like a century-old Facebook, the discovery of this 80 – 90 year old time capsule has brought these images to light – and if the faces, traditions and culture from the past can be restored and preserved, so too is the dignity of people long vanished.

Château de Lacoste - the residence of the Marquis de Sade in 1760s - as seen from the welcoming arms of Alexander Bourganov's sculpture
The ruins of Château de Lacoste rises dramatically over a verdant crest in the Luberon Valley. Once the residence of the Marquis de Sade, this 11th century fort is pitted with caverns and subterranean passages the aristocrat allegedly used for the incarceration of village girls - victims whose erotic torments he scrupulously detailed in his novels Justine and 120 Days of Sodom. Masochist that I was, I made my way up the steep, winding path to the castle now home to designer Pierre Cardin. Dispelling the aura of romantic doom, the designer had just hosted his 90th birthday fete there, and belly dancers and costumed revelers spilled down the cobblestones in a riotous mood. Scattered half-way down the hillside of Lacoste, was the Savannah College of Art and Design's (SCAD) vertiginous campus, a maze of terraced landings and dugout cavernous alcoves that have morphed into artist ateliers where students spend their 120 days contemplating far more pleasurable acts of creation.
In 2002 the college acquired the estate of 31 buildings from the painter Bernard Pfriem, an American expat who sowed his passion for the arts into the region, collecting and renovating abandoned buildings to transform into artist residencies. Since then, SCAD has been sprouting colonies of schools across the globe from Savannah to Hong Kong, bringing an ethnic mix of talent and diversity to Lacoste, and energizing the sleepy hamlets of nearby Bonnieux and Ménerbes.
Graduate student Mark Dorf looks into one of many concealed underground chambers at Marquis de Sade's Chateau, now Pierre Cardin's residence.
The dwellings find niches in the garrigue, the scrub-covered rock-walls of the Luberon that erupt in shocks of lavender and cascading ivy. During my stay, Kiki Smith presented her collaborations with Valerie Hammond, an artist and former faculty member in an exhibition entitled Streaming Spirits. The project had stemmed from the idea of 'spirit photography', representations of the invisible in early 19th century photography such as the Cottingley fairies, and the belief in the afterlife that began Margaret & Kate Fox's modern spiritualist movement.

"The beginning of photography was an experiment with the assemblage of reality," said Smith, whose show had loosely meandered into experiments with printmaking techniques, and was constrained by the scope of the tiny exhibition space and shaped by the artists' shared experiences at Lacoste.
Explaining the evolution of the work Hammond said, "Those images made you want to believe; they stem from beliefs in other realms." Hammond's mother had just passed away before she had arrived at Lacoste, and then a month after their stay, her father died, which expectedly had a meditative impact on her work. Kiki Smith summarized it philosophically, musing that, "the material and the physical were the manifestations of the spiritual."
Besides exploring the vestiges of the physical body, the two artists shared an interest in lithography and the palimpsests of impressions left behind on physical surfaces through the process of building and erasing residual layers of inks. Photographic inversions from black lines to white created ghostly apparitions, and Smith had also experimented with other imaging interventions into the physical realm with X-rays and MRIs, as well as working with multiple exposures on glass plates and stained glass etching techniques that stippled light and shade.
The artist has had an ongoing fascination with capturing the body's effluvium, breath and the intangibles that animate the body. "Vomit, breath and language, things that come out of your mouth." While Smith's images and sculptures explore and transgress the surface of the skin to expose its web of capillaries and musculature, her own skin too has become marked with a constellation of pigmented and beaded tattoos like strands of lapis lazuli.
In the evening, locals gathered at the Café de France perched on the edge of the mountain's slope. It was the lull before twilight when the sky turns shades of damask the same hues as the Rosé filling the slender translucent carafes at my table - sweetened with grapes grown from the Luberon's vineyards.
The Château loomed above and the breeze blew fragrant from fields of lavender in the valley below. Parisian and Russian curators picked on the fromage de chèvre and drank the Châteauneuf-du-Pape grown in the wider Vaucluse. Dusk brought out thick flocks of starlings that flew in sudden staccato bursts out of the steep mountainside - a haven for visiting students and tourists alike, but perhaps not all villagers who gripe about the glamourization of Lacoste. 73 year old local reporter Lucien Ricaud for the Marseillaise does not mind the change though, he was born in the Luberon - change is good, he tells me, it is more news to write about.

The Cal Poly University Police Department is investigating two reports of sexual battery that happened less than a week apart, officials said.
The first incident happened Jan. 17 when a female student was walking on a pathway near California Boulevard, university officials said. A bicyclist approached her from behind and hit her buttocks with a hand as they passed, according to a university news release. The victim was unable to describe the person.
The second incident happened Jan. 23 about 7 p.m. near Spanos Stadium, university officials said. A female student was walking on California Boulevard near the Mustang Memorial when a bicyclist approached from behind. As she moved to the side to let the bicyclist pass, the cyclist slowed down, said "excuse me," and hit her left buttocks with "an open hand slapping motion," university officials said.
The cyclist then fled. The victim said the person was male, tall with an average build, wearing a hoodie-style sweater and riding a mountain bike, according to authorities. It is unclear if the two incidents are related.
Police ask anyone with information to call the University Police Department at 805-756-2281 or email email@example.com.

Dream Story was published in 1926. This work is actually not German but Austrian, however Austrians see themselves as being a part of German culture and ethnicity. One of the major "achievements" of Hitler's regime was the union of Germany and Austria, known as the Anschluss. Austria, or more specifically its capital Vienna, is also the birthplace of modern psychology as embodied by such icons as Sigmund Freud. Psychology is something that we have already discussed in this class, and there are very strong psychological themes in this work as well, particularly with sexuality, a favorite topic of Freud and many other psychologists and psychiatrists. Nietzsche is credited with anticipating many of the central themes and concerns of psychologists in his work: aggression, sex, domination, self-expression, depression, alienation, and ecstasy are some of the psychological themes he explores. Freud is supposedly said to have become upset when reading Nietzsche because he feared he would have nothing original to contribute.
This work deals primarily with sexuality. The main characters Dr. Fridolin and Albertina are two young and fairly attractive people that deal with numerous sexual encounters throughout the book especially Fridolin. Like many psychological works, the book probes the secret, inner lives of its characters set apart from their public persona. For example the book begins by showing the couple doing fairly normal things a young couple would do--reading a bedtime story to their young daughter. However, the story really begins when we begin to see through their fairly normal exterior and enter into the more mysterious world of sexuality when the characters attend a dinner ball. Again attending a ball, is on its surface, a fairly mundane social activity but you quickly learn there is more going on beneath the surface: Fridolin is apparently tempted and flirted with by young women, and his wife Albertina is approached by a seemingly distinguished older man who tries to seduce her. The couple both pass on these offers, but it prompts them to begin discussing or even confessing past sexual experiences or even thoughts of sexual experiences as Albertina details an episode where she fantasized about a young officer she saw once on vacation.
Psychology, especially back then before the development of pharmaceutical drugs, was known as "the talking cure". This was the means Freud devised to get to the "unconscious" which he is largely credited with discovering. Fridolin and Albertina engage in a kind of therapeutic discussion in this manner by revealing their own past sexual experiences and thoughts to each other. However, there are mixed results, despite also confessing to fantasizing about other women, Fridolin is shocked to hear of his wife also having sexual thoughts and fantasies of her own and this plants the seeds of his own attempts to have a sexual affair which drives most of the story line in the book. This is interrupted by news that one of his patients has died and Fridolin is forced to leave and attend to the family.
Once there, Fridolin encounters the deceased patent's daughter Marianne. Fridolin acts professional, but secretly enjoys the thought that the daughter is in love with him and always has been. This is actually confirmed when Marianne breaks down and confesses her love for him. It seems strange and may suggest something that this entire scene plays out: Fridolin thinking about Marianne's love for him and her actual confession of her love for him--with her dead father laying on the bed the entire time! You would think that the doctor would be more focused on his patient, and the daughter is either suffering from hysterical trauma or so overwhelmed with passion that even the death of her father is not enough to stop her from throwing herself at Fridolin. Before there is time to process what has happened, Marianne's fiance shows up (who Fridolin cannot help but feel superior to even though he also acts professional) and Fridolin leaves.
Is anyone to blame here in this story? Is Fridolin wrong to attempt to pursue these kinds of affairs or is he reacting to his wife? His wife has confessed to fantasizing about another man, but later on tells him about a dream she said where she watched with delight as her husband is beaten and crucified!
All of Fridolin's encounters with women in the story seem like more of a fantasy than reality. Like Marianne who confesses to always being in love with him from a distance. Then afterwards he encounters the young prostitute Mizzi who almost immediately entices him into her apartment despite just meeting. Then he encounters the costume shop owner's daughter who he calls Pierette, also a very young girl. Finally, in the orgy scene at the end he encounters the mysterious woman who "saves" him. This only happening after he "heroically" refuses to leave her. As reality begins to creep in however the fantasy is ruined. Marianne is engaged and is probably acting out over the death of her father. When he goes to find the young girl Mizzi again, her roommate tells her she is in the hospital and seems to hint that she has a sexually transmitted disease. When he returns to the costume shop he realizes that the owner is pimping out his own daughter. The mysterious woman may or may not be dead from poisoning or form suicide
Nihilism and Sex
As the story relates to nihilism it calls into question one of the oldest and most traditional values--monogamy, and the institution of marriage. Fridolin and Albertina seem bored with each other and both fantasize and are drawn to other partners, although Fridolin is the one who actually acts or attempts to act on his desires (he never actually succeeds in sleeping with any of these women). The orgy scene towards the end has the guests dresses like monks and nuns until the orgy begins. This story also like the Blue Angel features supposedly respectable citizens being drawn into a world of sex and desire. Rath was a professor, Fridolin is a doctor, and presumably the guests at the orgy are respectable and influential people as well. There is a sense that the morality of the monks and nuns (Christianity) regarding sex is just a surface appearance or something for the lower classes to follow, while the elites who outwardly approve of and sanction these values freely ignore them in their private lives. Also sex may seem like the only thing worth doing in a nihilistic world. Some interpret nihilism to be a kind of hedonism: the endless pursuit of pleasure. This could make sense if one doubts the existence of any values like a nihilist would. Since there are no higher values in the world--including marriage--or moral restrictions on your action then a life pursuing only sex or money might make sense. The masks and the costumes become an elaborate game to compensate for the absence of the mysterious or supernatural.
Please choose a quote from Dream Story write out the quote. Then interpret the quote and explain why you chose this passage.
I would suggest watching the film "Eyes Wide Shut" which is a film version of this novel and the final film by director Stanley Kubrick. The film is almost an exact recreation of the novel, and aside from different locations and different names, the film follows the book almost exactly.

A Day in the Life Photography, In-Home Family Lifestyle Portraits
Although I only photograph a few in-home family sessions per year, they are one of my favourites. Capturing every day moments in a place where they are most comfortable allows clients to feel at ease and allows me to capture authentic interactions and emotions. These seemingly insignificant daily routines are often the ones we cherish most; the ones we reflect upon years down the road and cherish that time spent with those we love most.
A Warm Welcome
This little guy welcomed me with open arms, and no pants, which made me feel right at home xoxo. He was eager to show off his truck and just how fast both of them could go. So full of energy and smiles!
Chef in Training
Cooking and baking are definitely popular events in this house. And messes are encouraged! So much fun! I mean, life with a toddler is messy so why fight it? Embrace it and enjoy it; he certainly does! Cookies, bread and even a hearty crockpot meal were on the menu that day. It was a big day for this little chef in training!
Such a big boy!
Oh yes, remember when doing chores was fun? Following Mommy or Daddy around with the broom or carrying some dirty shirts to the laundry room made us feel so grown up. This little guy also likes to help his Mommy water the plants. He cautiously pours just the right amount of water into the planters as Mommy supervises. Such a big boy!
Display Your Family Story
The photos captured during family lifestyle portrait sessions, whether in-home or outdoors, are ideal for albums, photo boxes, and cluster creations of wall art. Our heirloom quality albums display page after page of your family's story so that you can relive those memories any time you want.

People who simply want to do what they love for a living. Here you will see and get to know people who inspire me daily, people who continue to go after their dream no matter how difficult it might be, and people who have one heck of a story to tell. Honestly, I started this blog for the dreamers (sounds like a line from La La Land). HA!
Below you will meet & get to know Madison as I ask her some up close & personal questions. (Well not that personal). She's amazing and I'm so grateful she wanted to be a part of this project with me. (You're the best mads) Oh! Before I let you get to it, you'll also see photos of her in her element, taken by yours truly! Scroll down and enjoy! ;) xoxo ~ CC
Meet Madison!
Get to know Madison:
Who is Madison Alexis Whitehead? Tell us about her? Hi!! I'm Madison. First things first, you should know that I have a tiny carrot tattoo on my ankle. So I guess that makes me a little bit (or a lot a bit) quirky and a big lover of veggies :) I'm 23 and a recent graduate from The University of Texas at Austin. I have officially entered into the adult world and am currently teaching fitness classes at UT and working as a speed/agility coach at a youth sport performance gym in Cedar Park. When I'm not training, I am writing songs on my guitar or playing acoustic gigs throughout Austin.
What inspired you to want to become a personal trainer? From a young age, I always knew I wanted to study something science related in college. Having played basketball my whole life, Kinesiology seemed like the perfect fit. All in all, I just really love people. It brings me so much joy to get to move and exercise with people. It's incredible how much people open up to you when you take the time to get to know them within the walls of a gym.
What's a typical day like for you? My favorite thing about my work is that I get to be my own boss. My day-to-day schedule varies quite a bit but I always like to start my day with a bowl of fruit + cashew yogurt and a homemade version of butter coffee. Have you ever tried it!? It's the yummiest thing! Most days, I'm on campus by 8am to teach a class or two. Then, I have a break where I can program workouts for upcoming clients, study new exercise material, get errands done, or workout myself. I also use this time to meal prep and make a dinner that I can eat as soon as I come home from part II of my work day! By 2pm, I'm hitting the road to train in Cedar Park and am home by 8pm. I feel lucky to come home to my roommates, who happen to be three of my closest friends. We always try to squeeze some quality time into the night, even if it just means eating dinner and watching Netflix together.
Tell us about your dream job. What would it be? Writing children's books! Seriously. I would love to write and illustrate books that talk about the importance of food and movement.
Guitar is an instrument you grew up playing and fell in love with, if you could instantly play another instrument, what would you pick? Why? I actually played cello long before I ever picked up a guitar. To this day, it is hands down my favorite instrument in all the world. I recently brought my cello back from my parent's house and have been hoping to start taking lessons again soon. I gotta get on that!
If you won $1000, but could only keep half, what would you do with the rest? Road trip on me!! Everyone is invited!
What is your greatest fear? Why? Wow, good question - I fear finding myself in a place where I got everything I wanted on the outside but am completely empty, lonely, or lost on the inside.
What is your greatest strength? Why? I care about people and feel things really deeply. I think that's why I love music and personal training. I get to be vulnerable with people every single day and in return, people are vulnerable with me. It's cool to connect with and know people in a deeper way because of that.
What is your greatest weakness? Why? Gosh I'm so hard on myself! And sometimes (most times) it's really hard for me to let go and let myself have fun. Oh well ;)
What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working? I've turned into quite the reader lately. Growing up, I was the kid who bought those crafty build-your-own robot type toys whenever we had a school bookstore sale. My to-do list was always a little too long for me to let myself sit down and read. But now I crave the stillness that reading brings.
What channels are you currently following and continuously watching on youtube? I'm such a foodie. My favorite food bloggers right now are Minimalist Baker, Shut The Kale Up, and Joyous Health.
If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Can we count chips + guacamole as one thing!? I recently found that I have a lot of food allergies (think no dairy, gluten, AND eggs!! crazy right?). Since cutting all that out, tortilla chips have been the only tried and true food that I can eat without worrying if I'll be sick after eating it. I can't stop won't stop with the guac.
On what do you spend the most on: clothes, accessories, perfume, or anything else? The biggest chunk of my budget goes towards groceries! I love trying new recipes and Whole Foods is my happy place.
Where do you see yourself in 25 years? Woah, I'll be 48! In 25 years, I see myself raising a family in a home that is always filled with good food and good company. I would love to own a women's only gym and be in a budding place with my career. I can't wait to see all the places I will travel to and look forward to knowing all the people I will one day meet along the way.
Who is the most influential person in your life? Why? Cheesy, I know! But my parents are my best friends. My dad is the greatest, kindest, and most serving man I have ever known. And did I mention he's a total baller!? He owns an environmental consulting firm and has taught me the most incredible life and business lessons that I will forever cherish. My mom is everyone's best friend. She's a counselor and personal trainer and gets to the heart of every single person she meets. I want to be just like her when I grow up. Hi mom, hi dad!

Blue Highways: Pleasant Hill, Kentucky
In this post, we visit a Shaker community in Pleasant Hill, and I will muse on 19th century utopian cults and communities, some of which were pretty darn interesting and even a little strange! To learn where Pleasant Hill is located, why not click on the map?
Book Quote
"From a window on the third floor, where grim watchers had assured Shaker celibacy, I saw far to the east a yellow smear from a power generating plant smokestack. Some historians attribute the decline of the United Believers to their unnatural views on procreation and cite the Shaker song:
Come life Shaker life,
Come life eternal;
Shake, shake out of me
All that is carnal.
But, since the Kentucky Shakers disappeared at the time of widespread electrification, maybe the lure of a 110/220 way of life kept new blood away from Pleasant Hill. After all, even the inventive people themselves (circular saw and washing machine) had to check a love of ingeniously useful mechanical gadgets and to guard against (as Howells said) 'the impulse of the age toward a scientific, a sensuous, an aesthetic life.' The yellowed sky gave me the sense the Shakers were right and that I was standing in the future in that hundred-thirty-nine-year-old building. Because they cared more about adapting to the cosmos than to a society bereft of restraint, the Shakers - like the red man - could love craft and yet never become materialists."
Blue Highways: Part 1, Chapter 12
Pleasant Hill, Kentucky
In the last couple of years, I have read a few things about utopian communities. Some might call them cults, others religious nuts, and some might find them to be refreshing alternatives to society. One thing is certain: America has seen the establishment and decline of many of these communities centered around utopian dreams.
The Shakers were one group that fit into this type of classification. Structured heirarchically, they nevertheless practiced equality of the genders based on the belief that God manifested in both sexes. Given that, they also practiced celibacy, believing it to be the purest form of spiritual expression. They didn't forbid marriage, but they saw the root of evil in the fall of Man brought about by carnal desire, and believed that marriage was less pure than celibacy. Men and women were separated into gender-based living quarters. They also believed in the purity of hard work, and out of their industriousness they fashioned simple and functional furniture that was prized for its usefulness in the 1800s, and prized as collectors' items today. They pioneered agricultural techniques, and were not adverse to creating and implementing mechanical solutions to problems such as water distribution. Shakers also practiced communalism, sharing the resources of the community and limiting personal possessions. It was a kind of religious communism of its day.
It all sounds nice and pastoral, and perhaps even pleasant if you can get past the part of no sex for the rest of your life. But that was the tricky part. The only way that the Shakers could replenish their population was through new converts and through adoptions. After the Civil War, more people began moving to cities and less people were interested in such a lifestyle. Even adoptions began to be regulated through private groups and the government and restricting the ability of the Shakers to bring in new children. Evidently, by 2009, only three Shakers were left in the entire world.
There were utopian societies that were even more strange. I'm talking really "out there." Sarah Vowell, in her book Assassination Vacation, describes the Oneida community, another of the American utopian communities, as a community of "sex fiends" who believed in sex without male ejaculation, or what they called "Male Continence." This practice was born out of the desire of the group's founder, John Humphrey Noyes, to never again subject his wife to the suffering of childbirth, especially that of involuntary impregnation. This belief bred a whole set of practices that included older, post-menopausal women having sex with young men who hadn't learned how to control their ejaculations. Girls, according to Vowell, were "annoyingly prone to falling in love," and "were ushered into womanhood by an older male, usually by an experienced boater like Noyes himself." Thus everyone, under the group's adherence to a concept called Group Marriage, could have sex with whomever they wanted, as long as it was consensual and the practice of Male Continence was observed. Paradoxically, any type of extreme passion for anything, including the arts was discouraged. Mediocrity was the norm. The community even developed its own eugenics program.
While visiting my wife's parents in Florida, we made a special trip down to visit the site of the Koreshan Unity. The Koreshan Unity, founded in the 1870s in New York, was another utopian community that believed that the earth is hollow, and that we actually lived on the inside. They made a number of scientific experiments that they said proved that we inhabited the inside of a hollow sphere. The community also practiced a religious communism, and women occupied the all decision-making positions that formed the Planetary Court, the only exception being the founder, Cyrus Teed (or Koresh). There were three levels of membership in the group: non-believers willing to work for the Koreshan Unity who were allowed to marry and to participate in the secular activities of the group; believers who were allowed to marry but could have sexual relations only for reproduction purposes; and believers who made up the core group that did not believe in marriage and practiced celibacy. The Unity moved from New York to swampland near Estero, Florida and laid out their New Jerusalem. Unfortunately, after the death of their founder, who predicted that he would live forever, the group dwindled, and the last member died in 1981. She was able to see the pictures of the earth beamed back from the space missions, and had to conclude after a life of being a devout member of the Koreshan Unity that the founder was wrong. You have to think that might suck a little.
Such cults and communities are around us and may even touch us all. My wife grew up in Iowa, home of the Amana Colonies, religious communities known for their dairy products (my wife loves their cottage cheese) and the Amana appliances. A friend of ours was raised in the Bruderhof, a Hutterite religious group somewhat related to the Mennonites and the Amish, that was founded in Germany and then moved to South America to escape the Nazis. They now run successful businesses in the United States, and manufacture play equipment and classroom furniture for children, and equipment for disabled children and adults. Our friend has a complicated relationship with his past in the group, but still maintains his connections with both current and former members of the community.
When I was in junior high school, the Jonestown cult's mass suicide was in the news for months. The cult started out as the People's Temple less than an hour from where I grew up. Even I, as a young man just out of college, joined a communal organization, the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, where I lived in a Catholic community, shared possessions with my community members and worked out in the wider community doing social service work. The program shared certain characteristics, particularly communal lifestyle, with some of these more controversial and strange groups. Lest one think that such communal living is easy, it isn't, and after two years of it I had my fill.
It all goes to show that humans seek out various degrees of communal living. We consider those who want to be alone misanthropes and slightly off. We cluster in towns and cities, while maintaining more or less independence. We all share together somewhere on the spectrum, from lighting and power to, like Oneida, sexual relations in a group marriage. But the extreme forms of communal living are hard to maintain. All that's left of the Shaker community at Pleasant Hill now are silent buildings that stand as a testament to a belief system that once was vital and is now gone. In the 1800s, with Shaker communities at their strongest, nobody living in them would have believed that their communities would disappear without the divine reappearance of the Lord or His Messengers. Yet now they stand empty, tourist curiosities. Their art of woodworking, elegantly simple, is prized by materialists the world over. Their songs are sung by others. Is it a sad ending? Or is it just the way of things?

Good morning.
A new rule proposed by the Trump administration could have what educators and advocates describe as a chilling effect on the legal use of public benefits by immigrants. As Ann explains in today's top story, that could impact students and schools. "The fear has always been there in these communities," said the program manager of the Denver school district's migrant education program. "Now, people are even more afraid."
Also in today's roundup: A financial boost for Colorado charter schools, a unique "early college" model at a KIPP high school in New Orleans, and a member of the Denver superintendent's leadership team announces he will step down after just seven months on the job.

Flash Friday, volume 2, week 7
Prompt: http://flashfriday.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/flash-friday-vol-2-7/
The floodwaters came slowly, filling the seaside villages and towns before running into the hills that surrounded the city. For hundreds of years, the rolling peaks had protected kings and presidents from invaders, and never once had the walls of the city been broached. But water wasn't men on horseback, or in the belly of a tank, and agonizingly, imperceptibly, it reached crests and began running down the other side. Water that had been trapped in glaciers for millions of years was now free to roam streets and boulevards, and it was only a matter of time before it reached the central square.
Because of the contours of the land, once the water found its way through the city, it passed to the east, and into memory. Passing gulls would alight on the top of the capitol dome and the Scepter of Eternity wielded by the Destiny, and fly off again, cawing their songs into a world without men.

I had a peanut butter related revelation in St. Maarten. The market there didn't stock Skippy Superchunk, my personal favorite (none of that oily hippy crap for me if I can help it). They did, however, stock Jif Extra Crunchy. I tried it and found that it was WAY peanuttier! I think I'm going to make the switch. Fascinating, I know.

This Mickey Mouse 1st birthday cake was decorated for a sweet customer of mine. She is a close friend of my sister and was among my first few customers when I first started cake decorating. Most of the cakes she ordered from me were for her children and the reason I particularly enjoy decorating for her is that is really appreciates my work and that really makes me going.
The design of the cake was as provided by the customer and when I traced back on the internet, I found it to be originating from www.lilmisscakes.com. So the credit definitely goes to Lil' Miss Cakes.
In decorating this Mickey Mouse 1st birthday cake, I made slight tweaks to the design, especially the birthday boy's name. I did not have the Mickey font cutters that were used to cut out the birthday boy's name in the original design, and proposed to use one of my existing ones to which my customer happily agreed.
These were the main supplies used:
And this was how I put the Mickey Mouse 1st birthday cake together:
And that was how I decorated this Mickey Mouse 1st birthday cake.
Hope you enjoyed this sharing.
Happy decorating :)

Honoring Mary isPart of Our Consciousness
by Mark KohanPolish American Journal, May 2006.
As Poles and Polish Americans, our love and respect for the Blessed Mother is as much a part of our history as it is of our faith. An icon of Poland for centuries,
the Black Madonna of Czestochowa defines a Pole as clearly as the white eagle or Polish flag.
The country's most beloved hymns are devoted to Mary. "Bogurodzica" ("Mother of God") is the oldest song
with Polish words and the second oldest example of the written Polish language. This hymn, originated most probably in the 13th century, while its earliest extant sources date back to the 15th century. "As
one of the earliest written documents of the Polish language, 'Bogurodzica' has a firm place in Polish cultural history—it has been discussed as an instance of the most archaic form of the
Polish language, the first preserved document of Polish poetry, and an example of medieval, religious 'high art' music," said Maja Trochimczyk of the University of Southern California's
Music Department.
At John Paul II's trip to his homeland in 1979, he spoke before the icon of Our Lady of
Czestochowa at the monastery at Jasna Gora. In Gniezno, he talked of Poles relationship with "Bogurodzica."
"'Bogurodzica' is a religious hymn, a simple prayer for personal happiness on earth and for a blessed life in heaven. Despite its religious
focus, this chant, through the centuries of its existence,became a symbol of issues often only loosely associated with its spiritual meaning," said Trochimczyk
In his address to fellow Poles in Gniezno, Poland, in June 1979, Pope John Paul II (who, incidentally, placed the letter "M" on his papal crest in
honor of Mary) made reference to the hymn and its message, underlining the role of Mary's patronage in Poland's culture and faith, and in his own life as well:
"Polish culture from the beginning has worn very clear Christian marks. It is no accident that the first testament bearing witness to culture is
'Bogurodzica' ... Polish culture continually flows in a wide current of inspiration having its roots in the Gospel.
"These words are spoken to you by a man, who from the beginning, owes his spiritual formation to Polish culture, literature, music, art,
theater—Polish history, Polish Christian traditions, schools, and universities ... I wish above all to repay the debt which I incurred from this superb spiritual heritage that began with
Honoring Mary is part of our Polish consciousness. For centuries, Poles have turned to the Virgin in prayer and song for protection from enemies.
The trumpet call "Hejnal Mariacki" ("Hymn to our Lady")—is played daily from the tower of St. Mary's Basilica in Krakow. This
signal, known and dear to every Pole, resounds all over the city's Old Town historical district. The song dates back to the Middle Ages when it announced the opening and the closing of the city gates. It
was also played to alarm citizens of fires or approaching enemy forces. The call always ends abruptly to commemorate a bugler shot through his throat by a Tatar archer in 1241.
The lyrics of "Boze Cos Polske" ("God Save Poland"), which became Poland's national hymn in 1830, were changed to the prayer
"Serdeczna Matko" ("Beloved Mother"), when singing of the anthem was outlawed by Poland's occupying powers.
And in 1920, when Russian forces were assembling on the banks of the Wisla in preparation for an attack on Warsaw, an image of Mary was seen in the clouds.
"Cud na Wisla" ("The Miracle on the Wisla") is a story known by every Pole.
During the early 1980s, when the Solidarity trade union was taking a stand against Poland's imposed communist government, Our Lady was called upon again.
Solidarity leader and later Polish President Lech Walesa wore an image of the Black Madonna on his lapel, a practice he still continues to this day.
Feastdays devoted to Mary are days of solemnity in Poland and still widely observed by Americans of Polish descent. Among them are Annunciation of the BVM (March
25); Our Lady Queen of Poland (May 3, also Poland's Constitution Day); Assumption of the BVM (August 15); Our Lady of Czestochowa, patroness of Poland (August 26); and Immaculate Conception (December 8).
At Jasna Gora, home of the Black Madonna painting, the monastery sees its largest crowds on these days, and on the Feast of the Birth of Our Lady (September 8);
and Feast of the Name (September 12).
Poland is known for its roadside shrines. It is estimated that more than half have images of the Virgin. Often decorated with streamers, ribbons, and fresh
flowers, these shrines are placed at dangerous intersections, where prayers ask for safe passage.
This month, as Poles, we observe Mary's role in our faith and culture. This is also the month that as Americans, we observe the tradition of Mother's
Day. While the American holiday does not carry the religious zeal observed on the Feast of Our Lady Queen of Poland, we as Polish Americans know better. To love our mothers is to love the Mother, and that is
just one way to repay each for all they have given us.

County senior picnic Aug. 19 in Bingen
Around 150 alumni attended Lyle's All School Reunion at the Shilo Inn in The Dalles, Saturday night, and then reunited at the Lions Club in Lyle for a breakfast as the sad farewells were exchanged. But what a great time was had by all. Those who didn't show up were missed and asked about, but it didn't restrain the din of conversation and laughter as women hugged and men exchanged hearty handshakes or a slap on the back with their fellow classmates; after all, we did make it through since the last reunion, didn't we?
Sadly each reunion seems to find the total of fellow classmates dwindling but those sharing the joy of life come with maybe a little less hair, or a little more weigh...

Almaty and EXPO-2017 sign memorandum of cooperation
Almaty's industrial manufacturers will actively participate in the construction of the 'Astana EXPO-2017'. The corresponding memorandum was signed by the mayor of Almaty Bauyrzhan Baibek and Chairman of the National Company "EXPO-2017" Akhmetzhan Yessimov. Dozens of municipal enterprises will deliver metal ware, glass items, ventilation equipment, light industry products and construction materials to the site of the world exhibition. Thus, Almaty became the ninth region the management of the "Expo" has signed a cooperation agreement with.
Akhmetzhan YESSIMOV, CHAIRMAN, 'ASTANA EXPO-2017' NC JSC:
On the whole, about three hundred companies from eight regions are involved. Contracts worth 23 billion Tenge were concluded. 10,000 jobs were created in the regions. 7,800 people work directly in the construction of the EXPO. It is the project the President spoke about, one of those projects which creates new jobs and helps enterprises be productive in the time of crisis.
On Friday, the EXPO team visited large enterprises in Almaty to learn more about their capabilities. Over the past 3 years the volume of investments in the city increased by 12%, enterprises increased the cost of technological innovations by 2 times. More than 30 Almaty enterprises export their products to the CIS countries, Europe and Southeast Asia. But despite such a high potential, to date, the amount of contracts with the enterprises in Almaty totaled 500 million Tenge. Now, after signing the memorandum, the figure is expected to increase by 20 times.
