Do you live in or around Failsworth and does your child…
- Love performing & dream of being on the West End stage, on TV or in film?
- Want to learn how to act, sing and dance?
- Want to meet & make friends with children who share their interests?
Does this sound like your child? Then Footlights Failsworth is the right place for them.
Where we are: We're based at Failsworth High School, Failsworth in Manchester (Map here) – please use the entrance to the school near Failsworth Leisure Centre and you'll see us in reception. Our classes run on Friday and Saturdays (See Class Times below).
Your child is welcome for a free trial at anytime, for more information please call us on 0161 670 4702 or click the pink box on the right!
Owned by our successful franchisee Lindsey Berry, Failsworth was our first ever Franchise school. Lindsey has grown the school from strength to strength and now has three established schools in the region.
Lindsey trained in Performing Arts at The Manchester College with Footlights Founder, Jo Fisher as her tutor. At the time, Lindsey was also working full-time the homeless (a job that she had done for 20 years!) and was also a single mum, bringing up her daughter Ferne.
From juggling her career and family, to working hard to achieve her college training, it was clear that Lindsey would succeed to transforming her love of Performing Arts into business. At the start of her Footlights journey, she learned on the job alongside Jo and within a couple of years owned her own Footlights franchise. She has since opened three franchisees and her daughter who is now 24, has two of her own.
A true Footlights family business!
The Footlights Head Office is based at Media City in Manchester, just around the corner from the main hub of the BBC & ITV studios. We were established in 2005 by our founder Jo Fisher, a trained actor and teacher, and who continues to have a hands-on role across our stage schools. Read more about the Footlights and our history here.
We have robust processes to keep your child safe; all of our staff have DBS status and a trained first aider is always on site at each of our venues. You can read and download our safeguarding policy here.
What to expect
During your child's time at Footlights Failsworth, our tutors will mentor them to help them realise their dreams of becoming a performer, by sharing their professional experiences, as well as facilitating and teaching performance techniques.
Footlights delivers quality performing arts training and our aim is to ensure that each child gets the most out of their experience by building their essential life skills and instilling confidence, whilst having lots of fun and meeting new friends. In addition to core performing arts skills, they will,
- Have confidence when socialising and in nursery or school
- Be encouraged to talk expressively in a structured, yet exciting forum
- Be inspired when taking part in discussions
- Be listened to when building skills in decision making
- Always be working as part of a team
Their learning will give them the basics and arguably the most important components of the performing arts.
The younger the child is when they take up an activity or interest the better, as in the right environment and with the right teacher they underpin the foundation to their learning and will already have a head-start on their peers.
You will find the Footlights approach friendly and energetic. We pride ourselves on inclusivity and being an encouraging company for your child to thrive in acting, singing and dance. We have superb progression rates from our schools, with the majority of our young students going onto performing arts colleges and drama schools.
We know you want to find the right balance between ensuring your child gets a good performing arts education, has fun and at the same time keeps up with their important mainstream education. We understand this, so this is why our method to developing your child's Acting, Singing and Dancing will complement their academic studies. Plus, at Footlights, your child will benefit from the opportunity to take internationally recognised examinations through LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts).
There is also the option for students to audition for professional work in film, theatre and modelling via our agency, Footlights Personal Management (our recent successes include Game of Thrones and the CBBC series 'KATY').

Golf Robot Named LDRIC Hits a Hole-in-One
Posted on February 6, 2016
A golf robot named LDRIC hit a hole-in-one on a Par-3 hole. The hole is the 16th hole at the TPC Scottsdale course in Arizona.LDRIC was developed by Gene Parente at Golf Laboratories, Inc. Golf Digest reports that the robot is used primarily for equipment and ball-testing but it can also play a good game. The robot can take into account factors like wind speed and green surface before taking its swing.
This was LDRIC's fifth try on the hole. LDRIC makes it look easy. LDRIC lofted the ball right onto the green and the ball rolled straight into the hole. Everyone cheered for the robot that golfs better than the humans. Take a look:
Here is another look at LDRIC. The talking golfing robot is named after Tiger Wood's birth name Eldrick. Parente says LDRIC can duplicate the golf swing of any player. He also says it can beat the top players.

The Benefits Of Rahua Color
Every wondered why your hair feels rough too touch after coloring for so long? After you dye your hair it produces a negative ion charge. This is due to the chemical process of opening up the cuticle in order to deposit the color pigment, after a few washes your hair color fades and starts to loose its natural shine. The Rahua Color range is science derived from Mother Nature, combining the technology of Rainforest grown ingriedients to protect and brighten chemically color-processed hair.
All shades of color-treated hair can benefit from Rahua's singularly innovative formula made with Symbiotic® (rainforest grown) oils and natural, plant derived and organic ingredients. Rahua Color's products are free of parabens, sulfates and gluten and are vegan. Celebrity fans include clean living advocates; Kourtney Kardashian, Goop founder Gwyeneth Paltrow and Emma Watson.
Rahua Colors Key Ingriedients
Rahua is a unique brand with a story that begins in the Amazon rainforest thousands of years ago where the Quechua-Shuar tribes Women discovered the beautifying and long lasting properties of Rahua oil. The oil is a praised and prized ingriedient that has been used for centuries alongside Amazonian Beauty Rituals.
Key Ingredients:
- Rahua-Ungurahua Oil: Super fine omega 9 molecules with a positive charge, push pigmentation molecules deep into strands.
With Rahua's new Color Full color protection complex, the negative ion charge leftover from color processing becomes highly attracted to the positive ion charge of the super fine Amazonian Rahua Oil molecules. This attraction to the Rahua Oil molecules helps to push color pigmentation molecules deeper into the hair for more color-staying power.
- Amazonian Lilac Clay (minerals): Reduces brassiness, this is most important for colored blondes and brunettes.
Over time color-treated hair becomes porous; Amazonian clay contains natural color pigments that restore hair's porosity further locking in the hair color.
- Morete Oil: Natural lipids cover the hair's cuticle creating an antioxidant color-fading barrier, contains beta carotene molecules for vibrancy and shine.
Amazonian Morete (Buriti) Oil encapsulates each strand with a color-fading barrier. This barrier protects color pigmentation from outside factors and leaves hair with remarkable health and luster.
- Cranberry Seed Oil: Deeply hydrates, adds shine.
- Flaxseed Oil: Packed with omega 3 & vitamin E encourages hair growth and stronger hair. - Safflower Seed Oil: Provides intensive moisture, promotes color retention.
- Hibiscus Extract: (Antioxidant exclusively found in Color Full Hair Mask) provides full spectrum color support, strengthens, boosts shine, and adds bounce.
Any Color Can Sparkle Naturally With Rahua.
The Rahua Color range is suitable for Blondes, Brunettes and Reds! Making your color more vibrant than before. Alongside the Rahua Color Shampoo and Conditioner is the Rahua Color Full Hair Mask. The Rahua Color Full Hair Mask is a wonderful addition that provides a deep treatment for lasting color. The mask is scented with gardenia enfleurage, hibiscus extract and lavender essences. The penetrating treatment is formulated to protect your color investment by encapsulating each strand of hair with the power of rahua, morete and flaxseed oils.

I have a Sales Rep table full of sales reps which has a Primary Key field, this Primary Key field is a text field. This primary key also the users/sales reps name. For example John Biggs or Sally Smith.
I have a separate table, full of clients. Some of these clients are big clients who work with us globally and as such can be managed by multiple sales reps. As such there is a user list field on this table that identifies which reps are responsible for each client. E.g. ABC client is managed by John Biggs and Sally Smith.
I am looking to create a relationship between the Sales Rep table and the Client table between the Primary Key on the Rep table and User List field on the client table. Is this possible?

Triathlete prepares for world titles
Beth's race against time
Triathlete Beth White's world title ambition means more to her than the time on the clock as she crosses the finishing line.
For the mother of three, who is blind, it is a way she can help raise funds and awareness about the rare genetic eye condition her children who are beginning to also lose their sight have – a completely different and personal race against time.
Beth has risen to the top of the triathlon ranks after only two years competing in the gruelling sport. Now the massage therapist has qualified for the 2016 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships in Rotterdam, where she will be the only totally blind triathlete competing.
Although she has achieved an amazing feat in such a short time, the newest member of the Guide Dogs Public Relations Speaker team, remains modest. "I'm just a mum trying to raise awareness of my childrens' condition and anything I can do to raise funds goes directly to medical research," Beth said.
Beth began to lose her sight at five years old and was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) - she now knows this is not the condition she has. When her children were born they were all tested for RP and the results came back clear, a huge relief to Beth and her husband.
Then their eye health began to deteriorate and it was discovered they, along with Beth, have a very rare genetic disease. So rare it doesn't have a name.
Medical scientists are working on a cure and Beth is doing her best to fundraise to help progress the outcome in the hope her childrens' sight, and that of others, can be saved. All three of her children are currently experiencing vision loss to various degrees and without a cure they will go blind.
An active and independent life
In the meantime, she is leading by example on how to enjoy an active and independent life, no matter what obstacles you have to overcome. Something she has always done.
As a youngster Beth was very active. "I rode my bike everywhere. I only stopped when I was about 11 when it became a little dangerous as I couldn't see the path in front of me," she said. Wakeboarding, surfing and swimming were just some of the outdoor sports she then took up.
Beth's eyesight continued to deteriorate through her teenage years and at the age of 20 she contacted Guide Dogs NSW/ACT for support. "I probably needed help before this point, but I was in denial. Everyone except me recognised I was losing my vision," she said.
As the leading provider of Guide Dogs and other services that enable people with impaired vision to get around their communities safely and independently, the organisation tailored a program to meet Beth's needs. An Orientation and Mobility Specialist taught her how to use a long white cane and then she received her first Guide Dog, Oakes, which cost the organisation $35,000 to breed, raise and train.
"The independence I have gained from receiving help from Guide Dogs NSW/ACT, especially my Guide Dogs Oakes, Teena and now Queenie, has been life changing for me and my family," she said. "Queenie gives the kids and I so much ability to function on a day to day basis. We are able to get to school, sporting events, do the shopping, get to medical appointments and much more."
Taking on a new challenge
With her children at school, Beth took up boot camp training. "I decided I wanted to do something for myself, as a way to make sure I was a well-rounded and happy mother," she said.
It was here she met a man who had just completed an iron man competition and she toyed with the idea of doing something similar. A discussion with one of the mother's from her son's rugby club, a personal trainer, turned this concept into a reality.
That personal trainer, Melissa, is now her triathlon guide and together the pair have placed in the top rankings at a number of competitions. "We are definitely getting competitive now as we start to compete on an international level," Beth said.
Each paratriathlete is placed in a category according to the level of their vision loss. In Beth's case this is B1 as she has no vision. "Some of the women I compete against are able to run on their own," she said.
Beth hopes to finish in the top ten places in Rotterdam.
She is currently training five days a week, building up to six. Two of these days are with her guide and the others she is tasked with a run, swim or ride.
To complicate things further, Beth does not sweat due to the genetic condition she has, so she needs to be careful when running on hot days.
However she said the only thing that would slow her down in Rotterdam was nerves. "I know that's what I need to work on. I will focus on the great feeling I experience when I've finished each race," Beth said.
No matter where she finishes, Beth will have an inspirational story to tell schools, clubs and seniors groups, as part of her Public Relations Speaker role with Guide Dogs, where she will also speak about the services provided by the organisation to anyone who needs them at no cost.
With 28 Australians diagnosed with uncorrectable vision loss every day, including nine who become blind, the most common program offered by Guide Dogs is showing people with impaired vision how to safely move through different environments, using a range of mobility aids and electronic devices.

Calling Morrissey Racist
My new favourite game to play is to call Morrissey a racist and watch the responses. I'll often tweet this just to see the variety in responses that seek to downplay his racism (aka the 'he's just old school/ignorant/bigmouth' etc etc). I used to let this go, but after doing more research and seeing just how many racist statements he's made over the last 30 years, I can't hold back anymore. These days, I make the statement and wait for a response while doing the Birdman hand rub:
There's reason I do this. There's a reaction white people have to racism, which immediately seeks to downplay it regardless of what is said. Every time I bring up Moz's racism, the same sequence happens:
Phase one
I'll get the 'He's not a racist' statement. I'll ask them to explain why his racist statements aren't racist. Without fail, they'll try to ignore what he's actually said, tip-toeing around it with 'I know he's said some ignorant things.' The common theme is that they try every word in the book to not call what Moz said racist. I counter by saying the ignorant things he said are racist. They'll say 'he's a bigmouth who says a lot' all the time carefully removing the word racist from their statement. When I specifically bring up the Chinese sub-species statement, they'll respond that he was talking about animal rights, as if talking about animal rights means it's ok to be racist. I'll bring up his sympathising with the National Front and they'll still try to dance around the word racist.
Phase two
Then they'll say, 'well if he's racist how come he likes one thing done by a black person?' (Morrissey's love of Motown is usually brought up here). I'll say that's not how racism works. It's not a zero sum game despite what white people think. You can love The Supremes and still hate black people. There's Klan members who love a bit of Marvin Gaye. The continuing thread from phase one to two is a continual moving of the goalposts while never engaging with Morrissey's statements.
Phase three
And then they get to the kicker of their argument - that Morrissey just isn't a 'to the bone/inherent/full' racist. This is the point I've been waiting for them to get to because white people have been mistakenly taught that racism is just something bad people do and, therefore, no one can be a good person and also a racist. I then point out that there's no such thing as a to-the-bone racist, that 30 years of racist statements can be called a pattern, rather than random disconnected comments and leave the building like:
But what is most annoying about this is white people's sheer reluctance to call racism racism. People are very eager to call out racism when it involves someone going full Chelsea FC fan and chanting 'we're racists'. But insidious racism, the kind that affects lives, is ignored because it's not by 'to the bone' racists. Doing the Morrissey research was tiring because it was like 'hold on, he's said this much and you're still giving him the benefit of the doubt?' He gets the crazy grandpa treatment when he's actually clearly been a racist pretty much for the entirety of his career?
I mean, I get it. You don't want to call him out because you think it reflects on you. I know a Morrissey super-fan who's night I kinda ruined by pointing out that he was a racist. I mean, she does have a tattoo of him after all. But even she said she had avoided digging deep into that side of him to avoid hurting her fandom. And ignoring racism and downgrading it to curmudgeon-ness because it doesn't directly affect you is just drenched in white privilege.
So calling Morrissey a racist is a way for me to say, as someone who has bit their tongue many a time, Fuck Your Comfort. I've censored myself to appease white fragility one too many times and, frankly, I'm tired of that shit. Morrissey is a racist and you'll have just to sort out your feelings about that elsewhere.

ISAVASYA UPANISHAD : - Mantram -3.( Last Part )
Discussion-7. People ( Janah )....Atma-hanah .... and final summation ....
People ( Janah ) = Those who destroy their Self in them : - meaning, "those who cloud Its brilliancy by the mental agitations and consequent false values of life," are called -
The Self ( Atma ) is immortal, blissful, perfect.
In not identifying with this Divine Centre in us, we hug on to the "body-mind-intellect" vehicles, and come to experience ourselves to be mortal, pain-ridden and imperfect.
Such ego-s ( jiva-s ), as a result of their "Vasanas," again and again take up forms and come to be born in different environments where they seek satisfaction through sense-gratification, happiness through desire fulfilment, security through wealth, and glory through popularity.
Suffering failures, sorrows, dejection and despairs, the man ( jana ) again dies, to be reborn in other environments with required vehicle to fulfil his life and its inner urges.
Those, who thus are caught in the wheel of life-death-and life again, are called "Janah".
With this mantram the third "wave-of-thought" in the Upanishad has ended.
Here follows the fourth 'wave-of-thought' in which we find a beautiful description of the Self, the goal to be reached, where alone is the divine sense of eternal fulfilment.
Next : Mantram-4.
To be continued ....

Chinese Hot Pot (Huo Guo) is one of my all time favorite foods. Even though most people don't enjoy it in the middle of summer, I can eat it anytime of year. It is just so good to me. Hot pot is basically the Chinese version of fondue or shabu shabu (but much more flavorful I think). You get your choice of broth, or you can do like I do and choose 2 broths and get a split pot. Then you choose your favorite meats, veggies, noodles, etc to go inside. I've been searching Seoul since we first got here and after a lot of looking, I found this place Haidilao. Haidilao is a chain hot pot restaurant and has locations in China, Singapore and even the west coast of the US. The Seoul location just opened in Fall of 2014 and we were excited to give it a try.
The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the 59-5 SK Myeondong Building. For those of your taking the subway, go out exit 19 of the Myeongdong Underground Shopping Center and you will see the building as soon as you hit street level (it's directly across from the Lotte Shopping Mall)
Haidilao Hot Pot
서울시 중구 명동1가 59-5 SK명동빌딩 2층 (2nd Floor, 78, Namdaemun-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea)
When you enter the restaurant they will ask if you want small individual pots (some people don't like to share out of the same pot) or if you want a large pot. I like space to cook, so I always like the larger pot. Then they bring you a bag to put your purse in, so you don't risk getting a stain on your bag.
Along with the bag for your purse, they bring you an apron, so your clothes can stay nice and tidy too!
And last, but not least, you get a little ziplock baggie for your cell phone so you don't risk getting that dirty either.
Then you order your food on an iPad and they tell you to go get your sauce. Each person likes making their sauce a different way and you can choose from Chinese XO sauce, sesame sauce, chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, scallions, garlic, and more. So find the combo that you like the best. Also in the sauce area, they had fresh fruit and 2 flavors of congee (shrimp and pumpkin).
So here are my favorite hot pot fixins:
Favorite broth: I ALWAYS get the half and half, if I don't get options, what's the point of eating?! And I usually get a clear broth and the mala tang (spicy broth).
Favorite meats: thinly siiced beef and lamb
Favorite Veggies: Napa Cabbage and Bok Choy
Other Favorites: Mushroom Sampler, frozen tofu and noodles
Today, we opted for the mala tang and the tomato broth. The tomato broth was a little thicker than my usual clear broth, but also a little too sweet and tangy for my liking. Next time I'm going to go with the mushroom or the clear broth. The mala tang was pretty good and towards the end, my mouth was indeed feeling a bit numb.
I felt the food quality was good and the service impeccable. Our water glass was always full, they were constantly cleaning up our table, and if you need them there is someone right there. Prices were a bit higher than I'm used to, expect to spend about 30,000 won per person.
And as a final note, DO NOT forget to order the noodles, it is such an experience, they handmake the noodles table side! The noodles are perfectly chewy and delicious in the broth, definitely don't miss out on them (they were so yummy we got 2 orders! Plus I needed a good video to blog about right?!)
See the video of the noodle guy working his magic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC2E_YIZbns

A launch date for the iPhone 5 is expected to be announced on September 12th, with Apple's recent victory in the patent trial against Samsung set to ensure the smartphone explodes onto the market with significant fanfare.
The latest set of specifications that are set to be included on the iPhone 5 include AirPlay Direct, an improvement to AirPlay, which will allow iOS devices to stream audio directly using Bluetooth, dispensing with the need for a Wi-Fi network.
Even before it has made its official launch, manufacturers in China have jumped on the back of the iPhone 5's expected success by brazenly launching the Goophone i5.
With its single button, lock-screen and rounded corners, the phone will definitely be familiar to smartphone users. However, unlike the iPhone the device runs on the Android as opposed to the iOS operating system.
The phone boasts a 5MP camera and has a rumoured resolution of 940 x 640. If this is compared to what we have already heard about the iPhone5, it pales in comparison to the 12MP which is allegedly offered by the iPhone 5 and Apple's high-definition Retina displays.
iPhone 5: How can it make its mark in China?
The iPhone is said to rank 7th in China, compared to a ranking of 1st and 2nd in other parts of the world. According to some, the iPhone 5 will need to feature a " TD-SCDMA chipset" in order to grab a larger slice of the Chinese market.
"Among all the international smartphone brands competing in China, Apple are the only one not offering a product that complies with [China Mobile's] air standard,"
Said Kevin Wang, the IHS report's author, in a press release. "For Apple, this is a huge disadvantage," he added.
iPhone 5: What we already know
The smartphone is set to feature a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor, a 4-inch screen and support for LTE/4G on the 1,800 MHz frequency, as well as a smaller 19-pin connector port.
With FBR Capital analyst Craig Berger forecasting that the device could sell 250 million units over the course of its lifespan, the device's course is already set for success.

Eshu Alagbana: part 2
Read *Meet Me at the Crossroads for part 1 of this topic* I'm still receiving questions about Eshu Alagbana in my inbox but ebay won't allow me to post answers because there's only 12 hours until the bidding is over! If the Reserve price of $333 is not met, I will relist or work it out behind the scenes, as I have several interested parties. (Why $333? 3+3+3=9, 3 is Esu's number and 9 is Oya's number) Meanwhile, there are still some issues to be addressed, so here we go, questions and answers...
Q: Hello... Do you know what its made of and what is in side the hole on top of its head, or is it still loaded... Thanks for your time...
A: Hello! The bowl is filled with the appropriate herbs, roots, dirt, bones and such that are attributed to Eshu Alagbana. It was then covered with a layer of cement and wax. The head itself is set into the cement and is made out of a coconut shell. I've only added herbs attributed to Eshu and Oya to the head, but it is not full at all. I would leave the herbs in there because it is part of the Ashe (energy) of the Eshu that resides in this head. There is plenty of room to add more herbs or even cemetery dirt from the gates of the cemetery or the crossroads. I will be happy to send along some cemetery dirt to whoever receives this Eshu. I have some from the Masonic Cemetery New Orleans and the St. Louis cemetery, home of Marie Laveau, the legendary Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. (the dirt was traditionally paid for with coins and rum) This is only necessary if you intend to work with the Guédé Barons (Baron Samedi, Baron La Croix, ect.)
An army of "Spiritual Eshus" The one in the middle is most likely the one in charge.
Q: I am curious to know how this Ellegua changed hands 2 times. All Elleguas have to be consemated in the owners name. I myself have an Ellegua and would not part with him, have you asked this Ellegua if in fact he is alive and has been fed if he wanted to go to a new home? This is a very odd for me to see someone selling Ellegua online on Ebay. Are you positive you want to do this? Also Elleguas are given for life not a certain probationary period stage. I am tempted to bid on him only becuase he needs a home, but I wouldnt want him to conflict with the Ellegua I already own. Any thoughts on any of the questions I submitted?
A: This is a "Spiritual Eshu" NOT an "Elegua Head" A spiritual Eshu represents a certain "Path of Elegua". It is NOT fed with blood. An "Elegua Head" represents the Orisha Elegua and is fed with a blood offering when it is created in the name of it's owner. That is the Elegua you keep for life. I would not sell an "Elegua Head" consecrated in my name. If you don't know the difference between a Spiritual Eshu and an Elegua Head you should not bid on this item. I say this with RESPECT. Ache!
Gordillo Arredondo
Further more, this is no mass produced, over-the-counter Eshu! This is the real deal. Now that I think about it I don't think anyone who isn't initiated with at least having received their elekes and warriors should even think about bringing this into their home. I don't want to be held responsible for any chaos that might ensue. This is not an artifact! The entity that this effigy houses, is a very real supernatural creature which occupies a parallel world to us. It is a being of free will and has the power to travel large distances at extreme speeds and can be in more than one place at a time. (Eshus are the same as the Djinn) He is powerful enough to harass and even possess humans. You must rely on a Higher Power (GODHEAD) to protect you when working with supernatural forces because they might try to trick you or bend you to their own will Also, this Eshu is prone to romantic infatuation with females so this is better off in the hands of a man. It will compliment the sexual prowess of a male owner! If it's owner is a female he might chase away the men in your life because he is very over protective. However a female who has Oya on their head can probably handle this path of Elegua.

can you suggest reading and/ or websites with more information on this kind of thing (for lack of a proper term)...i was once very drawn to a preserved creature foot which held a spirit, but passed it up for fear of dealing with something i couldn't manage. i'm intrigued!

Thank you everyone!
Rachael~ Animism is a spiritual ideology that all things that exsist have a soul or spirit: the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, the stars, galaxies clouds, storms, the river, the ocean, humans, animals, plants, trees, and stones. Indigenous cultures and peoples the world over have been trying to help humanity remember this for a very long time now; and many are beginning to remember. Animism may also attribute souls to natural phenomena, geographic features, and metaphors in mythology. The idea is central to Shamanism and Mysticism all around the world. Earth based Religions which emphasize animism in this sense include Shinto, Hinduism, Paganism, Santeria, Vodou, ect.

i definitely feel there is a soul to everything...the creature's foot was at a shop in philadelphia that sells goods for voodoo / santeria, etc. that i used to frequent when i had a small obsession with st. michael. there was definitely a spirit trapped within (put there by a practitioner)...along with the remains of the spirit of the animal itself i suppose. super interesting stuff! thanks for the information.

I would very much like to see part one of this entry. When I click the link for "meet Me At the Crossroads", it says the page no longer exists. I am an orisha practicioner, having received the initiations of my elekes and my warriors, and Eleggua/Eshu is my guardian. So, naturally, I'm excited about any information concerning him. I'd like to find the first post. Thank you for your interesting blog...

Ryan Chrys – The Ambivalent Justice of….
Ryan Chrys – The Ambivalent Justice of….
This is the first solo recording from Ryan Chrys of the Demon Funkies. The first track of the CD, "Promises" has the familiar sound of the Demon Funkies, but that's where it ends. Of course, the highlight of this CD is Ryan's distinctive guitar. His signature sound is what this CD is all about, from the hard driving rock of "Right on Time," the mix of soft and hard rock in "Night Again," to the soothing ballad, "Saviour." This CD is a mixture of many styles of music, and includes a hip hop tune called "Good Energy" with guest Azma Holiday. Ryan is backed by a multitude of talented local musicians such as Seth and Josh Larson on back-up vocals, Brent Loveday doing lead vocals on Right On Time, Pete Lamborne on sax, Jeremy Berberich on keyboards, Kailin Yong on violin, and Paul "Prom King" Lanier, just to name a few. Give this CD a try.

— By Keri Troutman
In his 18 years as a reserve police officer, Berkeley Lab IT Policy Director Stephen Lau has seen a lot. But responding to a call for mutual aid from the Santa Rosa police department this past weekend, in the midst of one of the worst wildfires in California history, was the most intense thing he's ever experienced while on duty, he says.
"The level of destruction and devastation up there is just indescribable," says Lau. "I've never seen anything like the intensity of those fires — you're looking up at a four-story-tall pine tree and the flames are rising two stories above that, with trees nearby literally exploding into flames."
Lau was one of seven officers sent to Santa Rosa from the Hayward police department, which responded, along with other departments all over the Bay Area, to Santa Rosa's call for help.
Lau's shift began somewhat calmly. He and another officer were stationed as security posts on the western side of Santa Rosa in an area that was still cordoned off after fire had swept through. Then, at around 3 a.m. Saturday night, they got a call to report to the east side of the city to help with an emergency evacuation.
"As we were rushing across town, we rounded a corner on Highway 12, and what we saw was just surreal," says Lau. "The sky was a strange orange color and you could see flames shooting up above trees and over the hills."
As others headed away from the fire, Lau (left, pictured with Cloverdale Police Officer David Haas) and a team of officers drove toward the flames, where they were in charge of evacuating the Kendwood and Oakmont neighborhoods of Santa Rosa as the fire grew closer. Driving down streets with sirens blaring in the middle of the night, the officers were also going on foot door-to-door and responding to calls from many of the elderly residents who needed help evacuating. All the while, they were trying to maintain calm in the inevitable traffic jam that results from a mass evacuation.
"It was so hard because when you're banging on someone's door you're not sure if they're still asleep or already evacuated," says Lau. "But you have blocks and blocks of homes to get to, so you can't wait too long."
At one point, Lau's team got a call from dispatch telling them the fire had changed course and they needed to get out immediately. "We had to drop what we were doing and evacuate with the residents," Lau said. "After we left, we looked back and could just see the flames growing bigger and brighter."
"The fierceness of that fire and how fast it was moving was extremely challenging," says Lau. The fire did spread into the Kendall neighborhood that they had been evacuating, but spared the Oakmont area.
Lau saw fire trucks from as far away as Redondo Beach (Southern California) that had come up to Santa Rosa to help with the effort. "It was heartening to see how many different police and fire departments were there helping," he says. "And the level of coordination from all the fire and police departments up there was so impressive."
Becoming a reserve police officer and being able to help people in situations like the Northern California wildfires has been a longtime life goal for Lau. "I never really thought I could be a police officer when I was younger," says Lau. "There weren't many Asian officers, and definitely not many gay officers, and there still aren't. The fact that I was Asian and gay basically made me discard the idea."
But then Lau learned about a friend's experience in the reserve program. Lau was inspired and has basically made a second career of serving as a volunteer reserve officer. He has all the power and authority of a regular police officer and serves at least one four-to-five-hour shift for the city of Hayward each week, and an additional eight hours of training every month. His time on duty is full of both the mundane and more challenging parts of being a police officer — everything from trapped animals to domestic violence calls, traffic accidents, and ticket writing.
Meanwhile, Lau has been working at UC for 21 years. He started at NERSC doing computer visualizations, then moved into cyber security. He managed cyber security at UCSF, then moved into IT policy for the UC Office of the President before landing in his current role at Berkeley Lab.
"What I find most rewarding about being a reserve police officer is helping people and solving complex problems that sometimes have no correct answer," Lau says. "The same is true at Berkeley Lab. As an IT policy manager, I need to consider all sides of an issue and be able to talk to people in a language that they understand, whether it's technology, law, or audit."
"Being a police officer has taught me how to listen and see things from others' points of views, while working at UC has shown me how to solve very large complex problems," he adds. "They're actually really complementary jobs."

Introducing Chef's Counter: expert info from our culinary pros.
For our first very episode, we're featuring Plated's own Chef Michelle, as she shows us how to make her decadently delicious Rose Water Layer Cake. Watch, learn, then make it at home. Try not to eat it all in one sitting, and stay tuned for more behind the scenes video from our amazing chefs!
2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter (1 cup)
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups AP flour
3.5 teaspoons baking powder
1.25 cups whole milk
3 pounds unsalted butter (12 sticks)
2 boxes confectioner's sugar (7 cups)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Make Cake
Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then milk, then vanilla until combined. Bake cake in a 350°F oven, for anywhere from 20–30 minutes, based on pan size. Allow to cool.
Make Frosting
While cakes bake, whisk butter in a large bowl until very fluffy and pale. Whisk in confectioners sugar until fully combined and mixture is a thick buttercream. Whisk in vanilla or other desired flavoring (in this case, rosewater!) until a smooth consistency is reached.
Assemble Cake
If making a layer cake, create a frosting border on the your fist cake layer, then fill in the circle with even more frosting. Make your layer of frosting as even as possible. Top with more cake layers and repeat the process—continue to line and fill with frosting. Once all layers are in place, ice cake with remaining buttercream frosting. Decorate cake with flowers if desired, and share with people you <3!

Firstly happy late Easter!! I was recently listening to the Let it echo album by Jesus Culture and I discovered a song, it's funny how these things work. Previously when I listened to the full album I didn't really pay attention to this song. This song talks about Jesus dying on the cross and how hope is never lost, it is all about the Easter story. Coincidentally it was just the Easter weekend.
"There's power in the cross, where You proved Your love. The only sacrifice strong enough to save us."
There isn't any other sacrifice that was strong enough to save us. There literally wasn't anything else that could be done for us. God loved us so much that He was willing to give up His only son. He could've just left us alone but that's the thing about God. He is so full of love and He is willing to do anything to save us, to give us a second chance. That's something that really touches me because there are times when I don't want to give something as simple as a chocolate away yet God the father was willing to send His only son to die for us. I guess that's where you definitely see the difference. God is so full of love and He gives it unconditionally
"Love has made a way, hope is never lost. There's power in the cross."
This also gets to me because Jesus died for you and me. He was nailed to a cross, spat on, whipped just for you. He loved you so much. It's not something to feel guilty about but rather something to treasure. The fact that he died on the cross means that hope is never lost, there is still light at the end of the tunnel. Trust me many a times it doesn't feel like it but because He died on the cross hope is never lost.
Power in the cross- Derek Johnson (Jesus Culture)

In a letter to Interior Minister Frantisek Bublan, former Prague Mayor Jan Kasl demands to know "when the Interior Ministry will prepare an amendment to the law on foreigners that will abolish the "nonsensical, humiliating and repeated" registration of foreigners who live in the Czech Republic."
Nonsensical? That ain't the half of it. Humiliating? Not really, more like infuriating. Repeated? See nonsensical. I hope that as Chairman of the European Democrats Kasl has some sway.

Five Star Mixtape 384: Seven Great Blog Posts and a Gloria E. Anzaldúa Quote
This week's Five Star Mixtape great blog roundup is brought to you by the fight for love, the choice to survive, the importance of making things, meltdown acceptance, a multiplied grief, walking out the door "as a fat woman of color who identifies as white", uncontrolled anger, and self-described Chicana/Tejana/lesbian/dyke/feminist/writer/poet/cultural theorist Gloria E. Anzaldúa, which only seemed fitting this week:
may we meet illness, death and adversity with strength
may we dance in the face of our fears.
Happy reading!
"A Letter from Election Night at the Gates of Hell, from a PTSD Cockroach" by Jes Skolnik at Medium:
I feel it over me right now like an invisible cloak: the eerie, terrible PTSD calm. It is the thing that enabled me to get up, bleeding, walk home, pilot myself into a shower, scrub myself off, and go forward. It is the thing that enabled me to kick backwards with my heel so hard right into his nuts that he dropped the gun and loosened his grip on my neck. It is the thing that enabled me to run. It is the thing that got me clean. It is the thing that pushed me towards activism, to organizing for other people who had been victimized the way I had as a form of healing and gratefulness for the chance at life I'd been given.
"This Side of Suicide" by Kurtis J. Wiebe at Inside the Mind of Kurtis J. Wiebe:
Every extra hour I'd spend in bed in the morning. Each additional day I'd go without showering. More days that would pass where I refused to leave the house. It had become a pattern, and I was completely blind to it.
"The Imprinting of the Work on Your Soul" by Shawna Lemay at Transactions with Beauty:
If you're a writer, or a creative person, there will be times when you feel it would be wiser to stop, to give up on making poems, or photos, or clay pots, or paintings. Things start to build up. Manuscripts, pots, photo files, stretchers. Maybe no one wants them, or you've hit a wall, or you've been badly reviewed or rejected. (I just might be speaking from experience). But I'm here to tell you, you should continue.
"Your Meltdowns Aren't Going Away" by Athena Lynn Michaels-Dillon at Shaping Clay:
In the autistic community, we spend a lot of time talking about self-care and self-acceptance, and about how the two are impossible to separate from one another. We acknowledge our need to embrace who we are, and the majority of our work writing and advocating and pushing for change is based around the idea that what we are is a natural part of human diversity, an expression of the way it is to be a person.
At the same time, though, our self-care posts become frantic about the nature and consequences of our meltdowns.
"300 Words About Grief" by Cindy Reed at The Reedster Speaks:
You walk into the vet with a Saint Bernard and you leave with an empty collar that somehow weighs more than she ever did, 120 pounds of sadness pressing down against your chest.
"The Armored Coconut" by Marika Malaea at The Hamazon:
The unspoken agreement to focus within and never on the outside was like terrible utopian math where we could all be the same, sort of. It was mass colorblindness for the good of the herd. The absence of color — the absence of acknowledging my color — felt safe, even though I lived in a big brown suit I actively ignored. Denying my own color, even hating it sometimes, meant acceptance and relief: nothing uncomfortable, zero conflict, absolutely nothing to see here. Look how nicely I blend in, nothing special! I'm just like you.
"A History of Violence" by Punk Rock Papa at Punk Rock Papa:
A chair goes flying across the room without hesitation. It slams into the couch and wall, causing noise, but no damage.
As I stare at the small green chair, an internal ticker returns to zero.
It has been 0 days without an angry, violent, outburst.

'The most outstanding collection of the 18th century was the series started in Dijon ... and later published in Paris which attempted to bring together in one series most of the scientific journal publication and the proceedings of the societies of the 17th and 18th centuries ... It included among its editors and translators some of the most distinguished names in French science. It was issued in two series, one devoted to publications which had appeared in France and the other to journals and proceedings which had originated abroad ...
'This monumental project was inaugurated by Jean Berryat (d. 1745), a physician in ordinary to the King ... The work was continued by such well-known names in French science as Buffon and Daubenton, who translated part of the selections from the Philosophical Transactions. [The Partie Etrangère] contains translations of the publications of the major European scientific societies, and selected periodicals published outside of France' (Kronick, A History of Scientific & Technical Periodicals pp. 212-13).

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has an amazing exhibition of the works of Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte. It is an astounding collection of his works. (Unfortunately, there is also some modern garbage "inspired" by Magritte - most of it is either complete trash or completely derivative.) The best part, though, might be that all of the docents were wearing bowler hats.

A Thanksgiving Memory
From a friend of mine that posts on a sports forum I frequent:
Several years ago, I was post padding on a military forum, and the topic was what was everyone's most memorable Thanksgiving. Everyone had such great memories of Thanksgivings past with their families and friends. I had alotta those same memories, but I couldn't get what happened Thanksgiving Day, 1970 outta my head.
I was on patrol with my recon team, RT California, on that part of the Ho Chi Minh Trail that passed from North Vietnam thru Laos into South Vietnam. We'd been walking right down the middle of the HCMT for acuppola hours, looking for enemy storage depots, and had found none.
We decided to take a security break under a big tree right nextta the HCMT and take turns eating our lunch. When it was my turn, I opened up a C-Ration can of Turkey Loaf that I'd been sandbaggin for Thanksgiving Day, along with a bag of indigenous rice, a C-Ration can of peaches, and a can of C-Ration pound cake.
As I sat there under that tree eating my "feast", I reflected on the incongruity of it all, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. And I jes couldn't stop thinkin, "Man, it jes doesn't get any better'n this."
Today, I count that day amongst my most cherised Thanksgiving memories, and I Thank God for the men and women of our armed services who won't be with their families for the holidays cuz they're in harms way.
Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!
I won't even try to improve on that.
Happy Thanksgiving.

More on the Light Hurricane Season
A couple weeks ago, it occurred to me that the weather fear mongers had been a little quiet lately, and that, DANG! it's been a mild hurricane season.
So, today, I'm having my morning tea, and I see that Captain's Quarters
has picked up the story (and Reuters).
Reuters reporting left readers scratching their heads, too. It just seems like the story missed something familiar, right on the tips of our tongues ....
Oh, yeah. Global warming.
Good piece. Read it. :)

Rabbis checking the eruv via helicopter
Must be seen to be believed.
(What's an eruv? I like to think of it, fondly, as a magic schlepping circle, as a detractor once said.)

My whole team has been outsourced to India. Well, I guess our jobs have been outsourced - we're not going anywhere. Except home, I suppose.
It's not that dire - we're still employed during the long transition, which should take about three months. Then we have severance that takes us well into the spring. Still, bummer.

I just threw up.
As I write, Virginia is still looking like a possible hold, Missouri and Montana are still too close to call, and Maryland could be a surprise pickup.
If any one of these break the right way, the GOP will hold on to the Senate. Which is the best we can hope for tonight.
Even if that good result takes place, yuck. Nancy freakin' Pelosi? Oh GAWD.

The Only Issue This Election Day
This lengthy piece by a Democrat nails the importance of this election:
The Only Issue This Election Day
It begins:
There is only one issue in this election that will matter five or ten years from now, and that's the War on Terror.
And the success of the War on Terror now teeters on the fulcrum of this election.
If control of the House passes into Democratic hands, there are enough withdraw-on-a-timetable Democrats in positions of prominence that it will not only seem to be a victory for our enemies, it will be one.
Unfortunately, the opposite is not the case -- if the Republican Party remains in control of both houses of Congress there is no guarantee that the outcome of the present war will be favorable for us or anyone else.
But at least there will be a chance.
I say this as a Democrat, for whom the Republican domination of government threatens many values that I hold to be important to America's role as a light among nations.
But there are no values that matter to me that will not be gravely endangered if we lose this war. And since the Democratic Party seems hellbent on losing it -- and in the most damaging possible way -- I have no choice but to advocate that my party be kept from getting its hands on the reins of national power, until it proves itself once again to be capable of recognizing our core national interests instead of its own temporary partisan advantages.
To all intents and purposes, when the Democratic Party jettisoned Joseph Lieberman over the issue of his support of this war, they kicked me out as well. The party of Harry Truman and Daniel Patrick Moynihan -- the party I joined back in the 1970s -- is dead. Of suicide.
and continues on for a few pages.
We stand on the verge of ceding vital authority over our nation's security to a group of people who don't understand the nature of the threat, and have demonstrated every willingness to use our own defeat in this war as a political tool by which to reaquire power. Please keep this in mind when your disgust over pork-barrell spending, and your distaste over other Republican shortcomings start to make you uncomfortable with again casting your vote in favor of the GOP.
The stakes here are as high as they have ever been for this country. A retreat from Iraq would be an open invitation for the rise of an aggressive, and unopposed Islamic threat to everything we hold dear in the West. Save your other issues for another election, and cast your vote in favor of continuing to fight the defining battle of our generation.
Odd suggestions
On the new releases wall at Blockbuster, certain DVDs are paired with "alternate titles." Something along the lines of "If you like X-Men 3, you'll like Spiderman 2, Batman Begins, etc."
The alt titles for "United 93" are "Passenger 57" and "Con Air."
Um, I guess they're similar in that they all feature bad guys on airplanes... but I think that these alternate titles might be slightly different thematically from "United 93."

Inconvenient Fact?
Is it just me, or has this hurricane season been pretty wimpy? Since the 2005 season was apparently a harbinger of a catastrophic global sauna (or so I was led to believe), does the mild zephyr, that to date has characterized this season, mean we're headed for another ice age?

Borat lives
Reading about all things Borat reminds me of a long-ago encounter with a foreigner with a shaky grasp on English and on appropriate topics of conversation. Actually, in this case I was the foreigner, but the other guy had the shaky grasp on things. It was at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where I spent my junior year of college.
I was talking with a group of Palestinians, two of whom lived on my dorm floor. (I mean, not on the floor of my dorm room, but.. well, you understand.) So most of them spoke English fluently, and we were having a pleasant conversation. They asked where I was from and I told them my hometown. Someone asked if anyone else from the same city was currently at Hebrew U, and I replied that yes, in fact, there is one woman here from said town. One guy who had been quiet the whole time suddenly piped up and asked something in heavily accented English and made a bit of a punching motion with his fist. I didn't quite catch what he said, so I asked him to repeat himself.
"You are f***ing her?" he said, repeating the punching motion.
"Um, I gotta go," I said, and quickly took my leave.
I wonder if I was being filmed?

Nollywood Actor and producer, Mike Ezuruonye disclosed in an exclusive interview with Vibe.ng that Nollywood is growing but they still haven't gotten it right because there is no structure.
He says: "I want to wake up one morning and see that we have over 200 cinemas in this country".
The movie star goes further to highlight the problems facing the movie industry, he says; The issues of royalties aren't met, producers are lazy and are not looking for other avenues to expand the clientele of Nollywood, content buyers are ripping people off, and distribution is also a big issue.
When asked if he would take 700 Million dollars to retire from Nollywood, he said; "I will take it o, but I will still be working from the shadows because being in Nollywood makes me happy.


text: Back to section main page   pov Previous article Next article Walmart, Amazon, & the Big Fish, Small Pond Opportunity for Brands in Australia December 21, 2017 Originally published in Little Black Book Earlier this year, I traveled to Australia for Retail Global, the largest retail ecommerce conference in the country. The big news, of course, was that Amazon was finally launching in Oz. In a sense, of course, it was already there. According to the Australia Post, consumers in the country were already buying more than $1B from Amazon worldwide. But paying overseas shipping rates is not the same as having Prime in your own market. That represents a seismic shift. You might wonder why it has taken this long. After all, Australia is an affluent country that is comfortable with ecommerce (it accounts for seven percent of all sales there, compared to nine percent in the US). But until now, no major global ecommerce company has entered the market. The reasons are likely scale and geography. If you're a retailer looking to invest in a market, Australia has only 24 million people spread out across an entire continent. It's much more logical to focus on California, which has more than twice the GDP in a small fraction of the land area. Not surprisingly, many brands undervalue Amazon's big move. They're not bothering to make a splash there, even as the ecommerce giant takes their goods to the continent for the first time. I'd argue this is a big mistake, mainly due to something I like to call "Walmart's Big Fish, Small Pond Opportunity." It works like this: Amazon.com has ten times the revenue of Walmart.com. As a result, most marketers think that investing in an optimized Amazon.com presence is a much better idea than optimizing on Walmart.com. That's not necessarily true. While you are investing in Amazon.com in a market like the United States, your competitors probably are too. You can buy media and optimize your presence to improve your visibility on the platform, but you're not necessarily going to gain a big advantage. In fact, you may just be maintaining your share. On Walmart.com, the opposite story prevails. Far fewer brands are investing there, even though it offers the same low prices, free 2-day shipping, easy returns, and so on. By optimizing your brand's presence there, you get a clearer playing field and a first-mover advantage. Suddenly, you realize that the smaller platform isn't so bad. After all, 1/10 of Amazon.com is still quite large. The same logic prevails with Amazon Australia. You might look at a bigger market, like the greater New York area, and conclude that you should concentrate your efforts there. But again, that's also what everyone else is doing. Even though Australia as a whole is a smaller market, it's one where implementing a smart strategy in the absence of others could pay an outsized return. Australia isn't alone in this respect. There are many smaller middle-class markets around the world that are underserved by ecommerce and thus not properly invested in by brands. But bigger is not always better, and first-mover advantage is always huge. Investing in Amazon.com in Australia makes great sense for a lot of brands. It might not cause a game-changing impact in the bottom line immediately, but it could make for many happy customers and long-term customer value. Will brands do so? I'm not sure. After all, I was the only person at Retail Global from a major Western agency, and I haven't seen any indication that marketers here are taking the opportunity seriously. Which could be a big miss. Right now, Australia is an exciting place for ecommerce, and we should all be watching it closely.

There were so many AWESOME things that happened today. I spent the day with Cailie and her family, and I went to my first Lehi Parade. I know I'm supposed to be all patriotic about my own city, but I have cousins in Lehi, so I guess it counts. Well, Highland. Close enough. Anyways. Here is a sweet picture of us. My favorite was the Spanish Club car, complete with Del Taco cups dragging behind it. Or the huge throng of kid and teen cheerleaders. They are taking over the world! It's a bit scary.
Cailie and I also went to the Dollar Tree, where we tried on King Arthur outfits. This is also where I purchased my first pair of incognito glasses (complete with moustache and furry eyebrows.) We enjoyed wearing these to the park later that day, where we got Pirate facepaints, and her little sister Aubree fed me grapes like a queen.
Afterwords, her and I drove to see the great Beardly (Bradley, from Logan piano major days.) He is still doing awesome, it was really nice catchin up with him. Cailie and I knocked three other things off our list tonight-
We went to a pirate pool party.
We saw the mentos/diet coke trick.
And we made dry ice bombs.
For some reason, Bradley likes to blow things up. And it was really really suspenseful. And loud. And illegal. My favorite things! There is nothing more fun that stuffing 5 pounds of dry ice in old pop bottles and exploding them. Except maybe acquiring 6 pounds of dry ice. However, I wouldn't recommend making your own bombs unless you are a trained professional. Or if you can find a non-piano major to screw on the lid. (Haha!!!)

Tax Dodging on the High Seas
"An average of about 20 people fall off cruise ships every year, which the industry points out is only about one in a million travelers. But still, I suspect that passengers work under the assumption that if they do somehow wind up in the water, someone will notice....Michael Jasny of the Natural Resources Defense Council says cruises en route to Alaska "routinely drown out the calls of the endangered orcas" trying to communicate. "
Kentucky's Ark Defies Science but Evokes a Version of Christianity
"In the beginning, Ken Ham made the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky. And he saw that it was good at spreading his belief that the Bible is a book of history, the universe is only 6,000 years old, and evolution is wrong and is leading to our moral downfall...And Mr. Ham said, let us build a gargantuan Noah's ark only 45 minutes away to draw millions more visitors. And let it be constructed by Amish woodworkers, and financed with donations, junk bonds and tax rebates from the state of Kentucky.....The workers, standing on hydraulic lifts, have covered over the Tyvek, and just in time. The Tyvek was printed all over with the slogan of its maker, Dupont: "The Miracles of Science." "
The Secret Power Behind Local Elections
"Persuading the Supreme Court to overturn recent decisions such as Citizens United, which empowered donors to spend unlimited amounts via opaque business and nonprofit entities, would go a long way toward fixing the problem....But until that happens, there is evidence that states, through strong disclosure laws and enforcement, can make it very difficult for spenders to conceal their identities from the public, even if they can't eliminate dark money."
A Family-Friendly Policy That's Friendliest to Male Professors
"The central problem is that employment policies that are gender-neutral on paper may not be gender-neutral in effect. After all, most women receive parental benefits only after bearing the burden of pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, and often, a larger share of parenting responsibilities. Yet fathers usually receive the same benefits without bearing anything close to the same burden. ...Economics remains a male-dominated field, and the research shows that policies fueled by the best intentions of universities have made an imbalance worse. Three female economists have shown that the tools of economics — which enable a careful assessment of incentives and constraints informed by real-world data — suggest that a more nuanced policy would lead to better outcomes. It leaves me wondering how many other policy mistakes we could avoid, if only we had more female economists."
Artificial Intelligence's White Guy Problem
"...the very real problems with artificial intelligence today, which may already be exacerbating inequality in the workplace, at home and in our legal and judicial systems. Sexism, racism and other forms of discrimination are being built into the machine-learning algorithms that underlie the technology behind many "intelligent" systems that shape how we are categorized and advertised to.....A very serious example was revealed in an investigation published last month by ProPublica. It found that widely used software that assessed the risk of recidivism in criminals was twice as likely to mistakenly flag black defendants as being at a higher risk of committing future crimes. It was also twice as likely to incorrectly flag white defendants as low risk....The reason those predictions are so skewed is still unknown, because the company responsible for these algorithms keeps its formulas secret ..."

Lighting cameraman Tim Hudson ACS had the idea in 2014 when he and his crew were challenged to track three actors with gentle soft light at night. The trick was to prevent spill on the surrounding white snow. The shot needed a light that is soft, directional and mobile.
The only fixture soft and mobile enough was a China Ball, but it's not directional.
Tim had an interest in umbrella bounce fixtures and emerging LEDs, which gave the idea of lining an umbrella with LED. Thousands of individual diodes were rigged to the armature of a custom umbrella. The light quality of the improvised un-diffused parabolic source was beautiful and exactly what the shot needed. As it turns out, a light that is soft, directional and lightweight is a handy tool for all.
After pressure from fellow film makers to produce these lights, Tim and his wife Sarah put together our Hudson Spider team and delivered the first production units at the end of 2017. The parabolic 36" fixture, known as the Redback, has quickly made its way on to movies, tv shows, commercials and stills shoots.
Umbrella bounce fixtures produce a very similar quality of light, however they are "much too cumbersome and difficult to use at the speed of modern production", says Matthew Lloyd CSC from the set of Spiderman Far from Home, where he is leapfrogging several Redbacks every day on set, "it is so great to have a parabolic soft light on the truck that can actually work and be set up in 5 minutes or less".
Hudson Spider welcomes visitors, so please plan a trip to our Spidey workshop in Valencia California.

Danube:Future Project
A sustainable future for the Danube River Basin as a challenge for the interdisciplinary humanities
Riverine landscapes have been changed by humankind for millennia. This is particularly true for the Danube River Basin (DRB), which consists of highly dynamic ecological and political systems. The river basin of the ca. 2,800 km long Danube is shared by 19 countries with approx. 81 million people, and covers an area of ca. 800.000 km2. Humans have lived in it from at least the Mesolithic period onwards. The DRB is the most international river basin in the world.
The DRB hosts a plethora of environmental problems; environmental legacies abound; and conflicts over resource use are particularly intense in its riverine landscapes. The Danube plays an important part for the development of a climate-friendly trans-European transportation network.

Cremone Bolts/
Pretty much everything in the world has a purpose. Right? Trees give us oxygen, chairs give us a place to sit, and cremone bolts lock and unlock. Cremone bolts first appeared in the 18th century in France as a means to lock and unlock doors and windows. Cremone bolts are pretty simple, only consisting of three parts, two rods, a knob or handle, and cast housing. There is a rod on top, and a rod on the bottom. When you turn the knob the rod will either go up or down into a socket to lock. It's such a utilitarian thing, yet is so stylish.
In Paris you still see many old apartments using their original cremone bolts to lock doors and windows. I have a feeling in the next year or two we will be seeing more and more houses using this special hardware.
Thanks so much for reading!

EVENT: Get Amped For AMPED
Tonight some very awesome kids are being afforded an opportunity that I wish I had: to play in the Mayor's Gallery! I'm not saying that I'm envious of these kids, but instead just how neat it would have to feel as a young person to play in someplace seemingly so prestigious. The performers are part of Amped, which as their Facebook explains are "a youth program by Level Seven Recording Studios that aims to provide a safe environment for youth to explore their creativity through music." I couldn't tell you how many youth music programs there are around town, but I can tell you that this is the only one led by Jecorey Arthur of illustrious hip-hop heads 1200. Growing up first in Okolona then in Hillview, I can attest to the need for arts programs for children, and can only work to ensure this happens for my daughter, that she has access to explore her world through creativity.
This show is event is happening tonight at 5pm, so you've still got plenty of time to set your DVR's or get baby sitters (or both) and make it. And you really should, as you'll not only get to see the Amped kids play, but also special performances by 1200 and In Lightning, both of which are way rad. Yes, I said "way rad" like I just stepped out of an 80's movie with shades on. The show will pretty much be like this, which I think we can all agree is the most radically righteous thing to ever happen.
