If you've ever witnessed a HBCU marching band, there are certain things you'll never forget about that experience. For some, it may be the echoing snap of the snare drum. While others may relish the majestic introduction of the drum major. But no matter the moment, you can never deny the saying, "halftime is definitely showtime". But what happens when you take the band off the fifty yard line and place them in the spotlight of a theatrical stage? Well, what you get is an elaborate musical production called Drumline Live.
From their highly charged shows in Japan to their present invasion of the U.S., Drumline Live is a sophisticated display of musicianship at its finest. Co-created by Don P. Roberts, executive band consultant of the original motion picture, Drumline, this production is a two act stage play that celebrates the rich tradition of the show style marching band and brings the audience on an incredible musical journey.
The cast is a diverse mixture of musicians from some of the best historically black colleges and universities like Florida A&M, Southern University and many more. With the regal overture of the drum major, played by assistant music director, Brian Snell, the production immediately commands your attention and heightens your anticipation. In the wail of the trumpets, you'll feel the reminiscent swing of the Harlem Renaissance. If you want to dance, you'll definitely groove to some soulful rifts of the Motown Sound and other best loved R&B hits. Headed by Jacques Bell, Drumline Live also carries a strong presence in energy and choreography through a number of dance selections. But when it's all said and done, you will not forget the intense battle of the drum line whose precision would make the "baddest" marching band jealous thanks to percussion director, Demetrius Hubert.
So if you're looking for a production that will make you dance, shout and tantalize your musical senses, Drumline Live is a show you absolutely can't miss!!! This show is an exciting musical gala that will stir your soul! To catch Drumline Live in Atlanta, make sure to get your tickets for their Wednesday, January 12th show at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. For more tour information, go to www.drumlinelive.com. Here is a promotional video from the Japanese leg of the tour.

As a personal note, we would like to dedicate this post to the founder and longstanding director of Florida A&M University's Marching 100 , Dr. William P. Foster whose tireless innovation and pursuit of musical excellence revolutionized the collegiate marching style and tradition we celebrate today. You are greatly missed but your legacy will live on.

Unfortunately, there are still quite a few children that need fillings. Typically this is more stressful for the parent than the child. For the most part, children are very good, even when we need to use freezing. This is in good part due to the approach that we take.
First of all, we routinely use nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, for the young ones. Nitrous oxide is very safe. In fact, a woman in labour is given higher levels than I would ever need to use and it is considered safe for both her and her baby. It also allows you to feel normal quickly after your appointment so much so that an adult can drive home right after their appointment. As a result of using it, children are much more relaxed throughout the appointment. We also have TVs on the ceiling. The nitrous oxide and TV together almost seems to have a hypnotic effect.
Second, we explain what we are going to do so that there are no surprises. No one likes surprises when it comes to dental treatment.
Freezing is always preceded with a topical anesthetic and the injection is given SLOWLY. This helps to minimize any discomfort. I usually treat one area of the mouth at a time because treating multiple areas can make an appointment too long and makes it more uncomfortable afterwards.
Finally, children are encouraged and praised thoughout the appointment.
It never ceases to amaze me how good children are when treated this way. And that makes everyone happy.

Health Issues For Men That Can Make Intercourse Over 60 Tough
The prostate may be discovered on the base of the bladder and it is the size of a walnut. Cancer is the uncontrolled development of abnormal cells within the body.These regular cells grow out of control and even intrude in different surrounding tissues. For instance, should you work for a company as an Employee Health and Wellness Administrator (round $50,000 annually), your job will involve less duty than in case you were a Wellness Program Supervisor (around $75,000 yearly).
This was strongly decided by the 'persistent disease triad', perceived satisfaction with care and cultural health beliefs. A low fiber eating regimen is unhealthy for various reasons. Thus as skin cells age and die, it takes longer for brand spanking new, fresh cells to take their place – and this offers pores and skin an aged, unhealthy appearance.
It causes extra deaths per population than every other illness and the older you get the extra inclined you're to contracting the disease; Statistics present that the variety of individuals most cancers kills globally annually is about thirteen in each 100.
The nice thing is, because the health advantages of milking the prostate could be very popular nowadays, there are numerous products out there that present excellent demonstrations of how to do prostate milking safely and effectively. L-carnitine has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it a really beneficial substance for penis pores and skin health.
As an individual ages, their skin progressively but perceptibly turns into less capable of make the most of its nutrients to create new skin cells. The condition impacts about one hundred fourteen dog breeds and the Siberian Husky is ranked one hundred eleventh for risk. There are various eye defects that have an effect on dogs, however only three of them are thought of a concern in the few Siberian Husky health problems at this time.
Vitamin E can also be beneficial for men affected by Peyronie's disease – a situation through which the penis painfully curves because of scar tissue – vitamin E can assist enhance existing signs of Peryonie's disease and will have preventative properties to maintain the penis tissue healthy and straight.

Ideal Family Ratio/
I've decided that the ideal family ratio is 3 to 1, three adults and one child.
Last week we had friends from Australia stay with us, a wonderful couple, Ryan and Rachel, and their 10 ½ month old daughter, Clara. Amazing people. Total cutie baby. Really fun. Ryan could only stay the weekend, and Rachel and Clara for the rest of the week. What I noticed is not based at all on traditional gender roles because any one of us could have done most of the tasks, but this is how it naturally flowed between Andrew, Rachel, Clara and me…
Andrew worked. He brought in the majority of the income to support us, took us out for coffees and dinners and kept us content. I supplemented the income, drove us to places to keep us entertained during the days, cooked most of the meals and did the picking up and laundry. Rachel took care of Clara, meeting her every need and being an all-around superstar mom. Clara was Clara, adorable, sweet creature who kept our hearts open, feeling the purity of love in the house that only a baby can bring.
It flowed. Rachel and I were overjoyed and surprised by the little things. I came home from working twice and found she'd made soup. Wonderful yummy homemade soup. She was surprised when she noticed the cup of green tea I had placed in front of her when her attention had been on Clara. She said I was like a little elf when she found the piles of onesies I'd washed and folded. Our relaxed foursome allowed me to find an astounding amount of joy in folding onesies, which I'm sure could have felt like an insane drudgery if I was folding onesies all day, every day by myself without the relief of our three-person adult team.
The connection was fantastic. Rachel, Clara and I sat over coffee, tea and breakfast every morning and talked for hours. We connected and shared so much that we kept our men from being overwhelmed by our feminine need to do so. It took the burden off the guys and kept us "fed" in a way neither Rachel nor I are on a daily basis. This is, incidentally, why I loved living with women, built-in friendship and connection. I realize that I need so much more of this than our typical family arrangement provides.
This gets me to our culture's typical arrangement where every little family unit is an island unto itself. It puts way too much pressure on the parents. Crazy amounts of pressure to be everything and do everything. The village raising the child really made sense. So did living in the community of the tribe.
Again, I don't say this with traditional gender roles in mind, but I am going to generalize women and men here for the sake of ease and based on last week with who's who in our scenario... Our current arrangement of the typical family leaves women starving for the company of other women and their men overburdened by the need to be the feminine support system when their woman wants to share her daily experiences and emotional meanderings. We need that, and they need to come home at the end of the day for a little quiet. It sounds awful and blunt but, in a lot of cases, just is. Certainly, this is one of the things that Rachel and I shared extensively during our morning musings.
Three adults and one child worked. It's an oversimplification, of course, because all the partnership parts of it were left out that would complicate everything because who's with whom and all that. For the sake of my noticing though and having a really amazing experience with these fabulous people and being so fed and cared for by our arrangement, it gave a flow of ease and love, and it just worked.
It also awakened puppy fever in me again which Andrew and I are walking through now, and seems to be an amusing side effect of having a baby in the house for week.

Is Your Sweet Tooth Contributing to Modern Day Slavery?
With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, many of us will be quick to indulge in our sweet tooths. It will become difficult to resist the tantalizing candy bags that fill the shelves of just about every convenience store; especially when that bouquet of chocolate flowers is priced at less than $5 and within our reach. However, what most people do not realize is that the indulgence of such a sweet tooth may be contributing to the enslavement of children.
Nearly $18.2 billion is spent on Valentine's Day in the U.S., totaling around $136.57 per person, a sum equivalent to the purchase of over 40 bags of Hershey kisses. It is safe to say that the average American finds comfort in not only love but in satiating their chocolate cravings during this time of holiday splurging. Behind an innocent appearance, however, such kisses hide a dark story that can be unearthed when looking at their production.
Companies like Hershey and Nestle rely on cocoa that is produced by slave labor in the low-income areas of West Africa. Such slave labor afflicts the lives of nearly 2 million children who dwell in Ghana and the Ivory Coast. As young as 8 years old, these slaves are faced with the brutal task of working 80+ hours a week with little to no pay. They are forced to spend hours splicing the pods of the very cocoa beans that will find their way into our shopping carts, and eventually, our stomachs. Their work environment is anything but sweet, contrary to what is being produced in it.
A report released by the Payson Center for International Development of Tulane University revealed that, over the past couple of years, there has been a 51% increase in the number of children enslaved by the cocoa industry--and this problem is exacerbated elsewhere. Other companies that produce wildly popular sweets, such as Haribo gummies, have been charged with the exploitation of children on Brazilian plantations. In Brazil, the slaves' health and dignity have been grossly overlooked as the children are forced to sleep outside and are denied the right to clean drinking water.
"Over the past couple of years, there has been a 51% increase in the number of children enslaved by the cocoa industry"
Many global candy-producing companies have assumed responsibility for their role in exacerbating the plight of these children. In 2010, such companies signed the Harkin-Engel Protocol, pledging to reduce child labor by 70% in regions such as Ghana and the Ivory Coast by the year 2020. Despite their efforts to combat the issue, these companies have failed to substantially reduce the number of child slaves.In fact, only about 5% of chocolate around the world is currently produced ethically. The other 95%, unfortunately, is contingent upon the perpetual enslavement of children. The global candy market is subsequently entrenched in a system of capitalism that prioritizes profit over the guarantee of basic human rights.
"A small effort on our part will ensure that we do not create the demand that is vital for fueling companies who earn their profits by exploiting the most vulnerable populations."
Companies like Hershey and Godiva thrive off of American consumerism. Their existence is dependent upon customers like us. That is why it is crucial for us to be conscious consumers who selectively choose the brands we purchase. A small effort on our part will ensure that we do not create the demand that is vital for fueling companies who earn their profits by exploiting the most vulnerable populations. We need to have the attentiveness and compassion in our hearts to make sure we do not arbitrarily aid and abet the involuntary servitude of millions of children.
Here are some tips on how to satiate your sweet tooth in an ethically responsible way:
Shop from these ethically-sourced brands:
Avoid shopping from these unethically-sourced brands:
Four tips to be a better consumer of candy:
Be aware that you may have to pay a higher price for candy to ensure that it is made ethically.
Keep an eye out for fair trade labels when choosing which products to buy. And encourage others to do so!
Join a fair trade campaign in your state. This will allow you to voice your concerns and help raise awareness in your community.
Encourage your friends and loved ones to be responsible consumers of not only candy but all products they buy.

Operator must discontinue advert claiming it is the best network for smartphones and mobile broadband following single public complaint
Three has been instructed by the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) to pull an advert from a regional campaign in which it said it claimed it was the best network for smartphones and mobile broadband.
The ASA's request follows a single complaint from a member of the public.
The complainant said the advert was misleading because the claims made by Three could not be backed up.
Three's advert contained the captions "Better for smartphones" and "Don't just take our word for it . We're rated No.1 network for mobile internet speed and value by smartphone users," amongst others which Three said were based on independent research carried out by YouGov.
The consumer's complaint was made in two parts – the first argued that the claims were deceptive and could not be sustained while the second part said the advert was misleading because Three did not set out how the comparison could be made.
Part one was dismissed by the ASA but the watchdog upheld the second,due to the fact the YouGov findings were not publicly available to consumers because such reports are sold directly to the operators.
The ASA said in its adjudication of the issue: "We considered that that information should have been made available for the purpose of verifying the comparison and the ad should also therefore have included reference to the means by which that information could be reviewed.
"On this point, the ad breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rule 3.35 (Comparisons with identifiable competitors)."
Three told Mobile News it firmly believed the findings were accurate and was looking into ways that it could make this information available to the public in order to keep the campaign alive.
A Three spokesperson said: "We are going to stick with the campaign and we are working with YouGov to resolve the issue of public verification and down the line we will find a way of demonstrating that we have come top in the se categories.
"What will change is the means of referencing the facts more accurately so we will abide by that."

Marty Raybon cut his teeth on bluegrass music starting in 1974 with his family band, American Bluegrass Express.
So, even though he's only 53, this is Raybon's 40th year as a performer.
He moved into country music from 1985 to 1996 with the group Shenandoah and racked up 13 singles that topped the country charts.
After Shenandoah parted ways, Raybon returned to bluegrass and gospel music and quickly became a headliner on the bluegrass circuit.
"The Back Forty," his latest album, features five songs co-written by Raybon. That's half of the 10 tracks.
The first single, "That Janie Baker," which Raybon co-wrote, is a hard-charging salute to a woman who could move mountains.
Raybon's other numbers include "The Big Burnsville Jail," another hard-charging song about a man headed to jail and already plotting his escape; "A Little More Sawdust On The Floor," a ballad that says what the world needs is more sawdust on the floor and more people kicking up their heels; "Only You, Only You," a ballad that says she's the only one for him; and "Mountain Love," a song about a man in love with the girl across the holler.
Other songs include "She's Just An Old Love Turned Memory," a 1977 country hit for Charley Pride; and "Slowly (I'm Falling)," a 1954 hit for Webb Pierce.
"Look For Me (For I Will Be There Too)" is a gospel ballad; "The Late Night Cry Of The Whippoorwill" is a high-lonesome song about missing someone; and "Hurt Me All The Time" is an uptempo love song.

You own a business.
You sell a product or a service.
Your growth is limited by one of two things:
- The right people haven't heard about you. Because if they had, they would surely be buying from you.
- The right people have heard about you. They just didn't care.
The grand illusion of advertising – perpetuated by every seller of ads – is that your problem is #1: the right people haven't heard about you.
But the painful truth is probably that the right people heard but didn't care.
Your mind recoils from that a little, doesn't it?
Don't let it.
Your problem is that you've been trying to find a date for your sister by telling your friends,
She's really pretty in the face."
That qualifier, "in the face," is a deal-killer. The only way to make it worse would be to add,
andshe's got a really good personality."
Yes, men appreciate pretty faces and good personalities. That's not the point. The point is that you qualified your recommendation in a way that made it seem like you were hiding something.
Are you selling at "competitive" prices? Is your location "convenient" and do you have "an impressive selection?" Do you talk about how your "
Dude, your sister
"Too good to be true" is another language of Ad-Speak that's exactly the opposite of faint praise:
My sister is drop-dead gorgeous and a lot of
fun butno one wants to take her out."
Here's how that sounds in
"We absolutely MUST sell 400 Toyotas this weekend!" "Prices too low to advertise."
Most ads are ignored because every customer has a mental filter that evaluates and dismisses both of these languages of Ad-Speak with a single question: "What are they not telling me?"
Everyone hears what you're not saying.
My sister moved to town last week. She's the new director of the animal shelter. Here's a picture I took of her when we had dinner last night. It would be good if she had someone besides her brother to show her the city. Are you up for it?"
Great ads close the loopholes.
Loophole #1: Is she attractive? "Here's a picture I took of her last night."
Loophole #2: Is she intelligent? "She's the new director of the animal shelter."
Loophole #3: Why does she not have a boyfriend? "She moved to town last week."
Sure, I'd love to show your sister the city. See if you can get her on the phone right now and introduce her to me."
Come to Wizard Academy. We'll make sure you never use Ad-Speak again.
Your sister is going to be so happy.

People makes it official: Barnes is CEO
Fairfield County-area stock joined the party Thursday as favorable earnings news drove the Hearst-Bloomberg Southwest Connecticut Index up 3.49 to 106.58.
Some 63 issues gained on the day, 10 were off and 6 remained unchanged. The index is based on the shares of 79 companies with headquarters or major operations in the southwestern Connecticut area. The broader markets were also up strongly.
Among the gainers, People's United Financial Inc. was up 30 cents to $13.93. After the market close, People's named John P. Barnes as president and chief executive officer of both the holding company and People's United Bank. Barnes was appointed interim president and CEO following the ouster of Philip Sherringham in April. Barnes came to the Bridgeport bank with its acquisition of Chittenden Corp. in 2008.
Widely traded Hubbell Inc. "B" shares gained $2.54 to $45.29 Thursday after the Shelton-based maker of electrical products said its second-quarter net income rose 46 percent as the economic recovery raised demand for its products.
Westport-based heavy equipment maker Terex Corp. was up 91 cents to $19.94 on its report of higher sales and profits for the second quarter.
On the downside, despite its report of higher quarterly revenues and earnings, shares of Naugatuck Valley Financial Corp., which operates bank branches in the lower Valley, were down 47 cents to $6.

About John
SouthSide was set up after John was unhappy at how other agents overcharged in various aspects from tenant fees to "hidden costs" for letting so he started to manage his own buy-to-let properties whilst working for Lidl. At Lidl he was responsible for finding, negotiating, acquiring, obtaining planning consent, building warrant and licencing which resulted in building 14 open supermarkets in Scotland & England. John developed his work ethic from an early age working on his family's beef & sheep hill farm near Moffat before studying Business & Accounting at Edinburgh Uni. He funded himself through Uni from his teenage business selling free range eggs and running his own business in America between terms at university, going door to door, selling educational books and software to families. This enabled him to buy his first two HMO properties in Edinburgh back in 2004 and has steadily built his own portfolio since. His passion and knowledge for commercial and particularly residential property is unrivalled and has helped clients maximise their investments. He thinks like a landlord and has very strong basic principles and ethics regarding property for both landlords & tenants which are at the forefront of SouthSide and his colleagues. John works hard but ensures he has enough time for his wife and his son, James. In addition to work and family commitments John also spends time coaching and helping young people in business and is a Trustee on the Board of Directors at Canongate Youth, a charity providing support, recreation and training opportunities for 5-25 year olds.

An incompatible mixture of concepts; including Avant-garde art, fashion show, and Noh; is an inception for this project. A super slow but subtle movement is captured and presented in what would be an astonishing way.
In the beginning, unorthodox curvy lines inspired from Daniel Widrig's work are tested with Anthurium and hydrangea, which enhanced kinetic perception. Decentralisation of floral elements also encourage what happened in the middle, according to the function. The second piece is a
symmetrical composition of contours that look like a butterfly. Only Anthurium is installed on this vertical plane, like small livings hovering over a midnight hill.
Finally, the stage which is an oversized replication of butterfly wings with over 1,230 artificial butterflies flocking around the centre. In a juxtaposition with this gigantic piece is the cake that composed of butterflies in the midst of hydrangea.

Breakfast links: Saving the city
Self-policing DC
UMD researchers suggest that people with strong ties to a neighborhood are more likely to intervene on another's behalf as a "responsible third party punisher", which may mean less self-policing in transient cities like DC. (Atlantic Cities)
Best design of the year?
Is Montgomery County's North Bethesda Market II the best building design in the DC area for 2013? The 300 foot tall building, which is ambitious architecturally, will be mixed-use and have 347 residential units. (UrbanTurf)
Shaw and Anacostia sites ready for development
DC is looking for a "catalytic project" for a site in Historic Anacostia to help revitalization efforts. The District also wants to encourage mixed-used development for a parcel in the heart of the Shaw corridor. (WBJ)
Pay-to-play meter deal
A deal over DC's parking meter management is rife with questions over "pay-to-play" on the DC Council. Entities related to one of the bidding companies donated $50,000 to mayoral campaigns of 3 council members. (Post)
Defense of streetcar in Arlington
Arlington's County Board Chair, Walter Tejada, vigorously defended the Columbia Pike streetcar, ruling out BRT and calling out opponents who he thinks are misleading the public. (Post, Canaan) (Tip: Canaan)
Urbanism from scratch
Hamburg, Germany is trying to change the way neighborhoods are built with a $14 billion project called HafenCity, a new mixed-use neighborhood that is being built almost from scratch near the city's center. (NextCity)
1 car = 10 bikes
There is an emerging trend to create bike racks in the shape of a car. One design gracing the streets of Buenos Aires includes labeling that reads "1 car = 10 bikes." Similar designs have been seen in Sweden and Seattle. (Atlantic Cities)
11-year BRT timeline
San Francisco's 11-year timeline from feasibility study to completion of a bus rapid transit service is caused by frequent public meetings, environmental studies, citizen opposition, and a desire to ease into BRT. (NextCity)
Utah's transit gem
Salt Lake City could be a model for building transit on budget and in a timely fashion. 3 factors that led to Salt Lake City's transit success are bundling projects into one, being proactive, and using performance contracting. (Streetsblog)

"I miss you my dearest" – Nasrin Sotoudeh's letters to her children from prison
Iranian lawyer and women's rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh's heartbreaking letters from prison reveal the trauma inflicted on families by the government that claims to protect them...
March 2011
Hello my dearest Nima,
Writing a letter to you is so very difficult. How do I tell you where I am when you are so innocent and too young to comprehend the true meaning of words such as prison, arrest, sentence, trial and injustice?
Last week you asked me, "Mummy, are you coming home with us today?" and I was forced to respond in plain view of the security agents: "My work is going to take a while so I'll come home later." It is then that you nodded as if to say you understand and took my hand, giving it a sweet, childlike kiss with your small lips.
How do I explain that coming home is not up to me, that I am not free to rush back to you, when I know that you had told your father to ask me to finish my work, so I can come back home? How do I explain to you that no "work" could ever keep me so far away from you?
My dear Nima, in the past six months, I have found myself crying uncontrollably on two occasions. The first time was when my father passed away and I was deprived of grieving and attending his funeral. The second was the day you asked me to come home and I couldn't come home with you.
My dearest Nima, in child custody cases, the courts have repeatedly ruled that, when it comes to visitation rights, a three-year-old child cannot be left with their father for 24 consecutive hours. This [is] because the courts believe that young children should not be away from their mothers for 24 hours and that such a separation would result in psychological damage to a child.
This same judiciary, however, is ignoring the rights of a three-year-old child under the pretext that his mother is seeking to "act against the national security" of the country.
It goes without saying that I was not seeking in any way to "act against national security" and that, as a lawyer, my only objective has always been to defend my clients under the law.
I want you to know that, as a woman, I am proud of the heavy sentence rendered against me and honoured to have defended many human rights defenders. The relentless efforts by women have finally proven that regardless of whether we support or oppose them, we can no longer be ignored.
Hoping for better days,
Maman Nasrin
April 2011
To my dearest Mehraveh, my daughter, my pride and joy,
It has been six months since I was taken away from you my beloved children. Throughout these six months we were only allowed to see each other a few times and, even then, in the presence of security agents. During this time, I was never allowed to write to you, to receive a picture, or even meet with you freely without any security restrictions. My dear Mehraveh, you, more than anyone, understand the sorrow in my heart and the conditions under which we were allowed to meet. Each time, after each visit and every single day, I struggle with the notion of whether or not I have taken into consideration and respected my own children's rights. More than anything, I needed to be sure that you, my beloved daughter, whose wisdom I very much believe in, did not accuse me of violating my own children's rights.
I once told you: "My daughter I hope you never think that I was not thinking of you or that it was my actions that deserved such punishment… Everything I have done is legal and within the framework of the law." It was then that you lovingly caressed my face with your small hands and replied: "I know, Mummy… I know…" It was on that day that I was freed of the nightmare of being judged by my own daughter.
My dearest Mehraveh, just like I was never able to disregard your rights and always sought to protect them to my fullest capacity, I was also never able to disregard the rights of my clients.
How could I abandon the scene as soon as I was summoned by the authorities, knowing that my clients were behind bars? How could I abandon them when they had hired me as their legal counsel and were awaiting their trial?
It was my desire to protect the rights of many, particularly the rights of my children and your future, that led me to represent such cases in court. I believe that the pain that our family and the families of my clients have had to endure over the past few years is not in vain. Justice arrives exactly at the time when most have given up hope.
I miss you my dearest and send you one hundred kisses,
Maman Nasrin
September 2018
Hello my dearest Nima,
I don't know how to start this letter. How can I forget that this year you have to start school without me and even without your father by your side, and simply tell you that this year is a normal year like any other year? How can I ask you to go to school on time, do your homework, study well and be a good boy until we return?
I would hate to speak such words to you as a mother because I know that in your young life you have had to live through the constant trauma of visiting me in prison, being prohibited from visiting me, and the fear of injustice.
As a mother, I cannot ask you to forget my existence and think to yourself that you do not have a mother at all, just so that I can pursue my work and struggle [for human rights] with a clear conscience. May I never be this cruel to you.
My job as a lawyer, which is under constant attack in Iran, is pulling me – and this time also your father – into the storm of injustice and cowardice that is destroying the community of Iranian lawyers.
These days I am thinking about you constantly, about how lonely you must feel and about our dear Mehraveh, who has made us proud and who is now forced to care for you and be your mother and father at the same time.
I am sending you my tears of love, hoping they make the injustice of our time a little more tolerable for you.
I send you thousands of kisses for I have not seen you in far too long.
Maman Nasrin
Bill Traylor: Sidewalk Genius
Vox Populi: William "Bill" Traylor (1853–1949) was an African-American self-taught artist from Lowndes County, Alabama. Born into slavery, Traylor spent the majority of his life after emancipation as a sharecropper. It was only after 1939, following his move to Montgomery, Alabama that Traylor began to draw. At the age of 85, he took up a pencil and a scrap of cardboard to document his recollections and observations. From 1939 to 1942, while working on the sidewalks of Montgomery, Traylor produced nearly 1,500 pieces of art.
While Traylor received his first public exhibition in 1940, it wasn't until the late 1970s, thirty years after his death, that his work finally began to receive broader attention. Recent acceptance of Traylor as a significant figure of American folk and modern art has been founded on the efforts of Charles Shannon, as well as the evolving tastes of the art world. Shannon, who first encountered Traylor's work in 1940, brought Traylor to the attention of the larger art world. Since then, public and scholarly perception of Bill Traylor's life and work has been in constant evolution. First held up as an example of "primitive" or "outsider" art, Traylor now holds a central position in the fields of "self-taught" and modern art.
Hate Map
Vox Populi: Each year since 1990, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has published an annual census of hate groups operating within the United States. The number is a barometer, albeit only one, of the level of hate activity in the country. The hate map, which depicts the groups' approximate locations, is the result of a year of monitoring by analysts and researchers and is typically published every January or February. It represents activity by hate groups during the previous year.
What is a hate group?
The Southern Poverty Law Center defines a hate group as an organization that – based on its official statements or principles, the statements of its leaders, or its activities – has beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics. We do not list individuals as hate groups, only organizations.
The organizations on our hate group list vilify others because of their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity – prejudices that strike at the heart of our democratic values and fracture society along its most fragile fault lines.
The FBI uses similar criteria in its definition of a hate crime:
[A] criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.
We define a "group" as an entity that has a process through which followers identify themselves as being part of the group. This may involve donating, paying membership dues or participating in activities such as meetings and rallies. Individual chapters of a larger organization are each counted separately, because the number indicates reach and organizing activity.B
What is the SPLC's hate map?
Each year since 1990, the SPLC has published an annual census of hate groups operating within the United States. The number is a barometer, albeit only one, of the level of hate activity in the country. Other indicators of hateful ideas include the reach of hate websites, for example. The hate map, which depicts the groups' approximate locations, is the result of a year of monitoring by analysts and researchers and is typically published every February. It represents activity by hate groups during the previous year.
Tracking hate group activity and membership is extremely difficult. Some groups do everything they can to obscure their activities, while others grossly over-represent their operations. The SPLC uses a variety of methodologies to determine the activities of groups and individuals. These include reviewing hate group publications and reports by citizens, law enforcement, field sources and the news media, and conducting our own investigations.

Firearms and tear gas used to quell protest inside Gharchak women's prison
Amnesty International: Responding to reports that Iranian prison guards in riot gear beat prisoners and used tear gas, firearms and pepper spray during raids inside the women-only Shahr e-Rey prison (commonly known as Gharchak) in Varamin outside Tehran that began last night, Amnesty International's Research and Advocacy Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Philip Luther, said:
"The reports of the Iranian prison guards' reckless and heavy-handed response to protests at Shahr-e-Rey prison are deeply alarming. Many prisoners were reported to have received hospital treatment for the effects of tear gas.
"Prison authorities must refrain from using unnecessary and excessive force against prisoners. Instead of carrying out violent raids against prisoners, they should be working to address the inhumane and squalid conditions at Shahr-e Rey prison."
The unrest began during the night of 7 February when the women prisoners tried to raise awareness that one of them needed medical care. Reports also suggest that some prisoners organized a protest by banging their hands on the doors of their cells in protest against the fact that their names have not been included on a list of thousands of prisoners due to be pardoned for the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
Amnesty International has previously documented the appalling ill-treatment of prisoners at Shahr-e Rey prison. The facility is a disused chicken farm that holds prisoners in overcrowded and unhygienic conditions, without access to safe drinkable water, decent food, medicine and fresh air.
World's Largest Market In Murals
Voxpopuli: Mexico City's Central de Abasto, the world's largest market, is visited by half a million people every day. With the help of the United Nations, the state of Mexico is endeavoring to make it the world's biggest urban art exhibition by covering the walls with murals by dozens of artists. Administrators have reported a decrease in vandalism and graffiti near the murals >>> Photos

The photograph that changed the face of AIDS
By Therese Frare
Vox Populisphere: This picture is widely considered the photo that changed the face of AIDS. It showed AIDS victims as humans and people with families. The biggest opponents of doing anything about AIDS, anything at all, were conservatives trumpeting family values. This picture showed that HIV has everything to do with family values and to have family values you have to value families.
In November 1990 LIFE magazine published a photograph of a young man named David Kirby — his body wasted by AIDS, his gaze locked on something beyond this world — surrounded by anguished family members as he took his last breaths. The haunting image of Kirby on his death-bed, taken by a journalism student named Therese Frare, quickly became the one photograph most powerfully identified with the HIV/AIDS epidemic that, by then, had seen millions of people infected (many of them unknowingly) around the globe. David Kirby was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. A gay activist in the 1980s, he learned in the late 1980s — while he was living in California and estranged from his family — that he had contracted HIV. He got in touch with his parents and asked if he could come home; he wanted, he said, to die with his family around him. The Kirbys welcomed their son back.
The photographer Therese Frare recalls:
On the day David died, I was visiting Peta (one of David's caretakers in Pater Noster House). Some of the staff came to get Peta so he could be with David, and he took me with him. I stayed outside David's room, minding my own business, when David's mom came out and told me that the family wanted me to photograph people saying their final goodbyes. I went in and stood quietly in the corner, barely moving, watching and photographing the scene. Afterwards I knew, I absolutely knew, that something truly incredible had unfolded in that room, right in front of me.
Early on, I asked David if he minded me taking pictures, and he said, 'That's fine, as long as it's not for personal profit.' To this day I don't take any money for the picture. But David was an activist, and he wanted to get the word out there about how devastating AIDS was to families and communities. Honestly, I think he was a lot more in tune with how important these photos might become.
When published by LIFE, the image shocked the national conscience in the United States with its graphic imagery. While the public knew that AIDS was deadly, many only knew of its effects in the abstract. AIDS was still thought to be a "gay" disease and much of the populace was relatively uninformed about the effects of the illness. The image also helped the greater public to connect to the family's grief at losing their son. The original caption on LIFE magazine: After a three-year struggle against AIDS and its social stigmas, David Kirby could fight no longer. As his father, sister and niece stood by in anguish, the 32-year-old founder and leader of the Stafford, Ohio, AIDS Foundation felt his life slipping away. David whispered: "I'm ready", took a last labored breath, then succumbed.
David Kirby died in April 1990, only 32 years old, seven months before the photo was published. By some estimates, as many as one billion people have seen the now-iconic Frare photograph that appeared in LIFE, as it was reproduced in hundreds of newspaper, magazine and TV stories — all over the world — focusing on the photo itself and (increasingly) on the controversies that surrounded it >>>
After BakeSale for Japan: What's Next for Samin Nosrat
KCRW: In April 2018, San Francisco Bay Area cook Samin Nosrat organized bake sales across the country to raise funds for the victims of the March 11th tsunami in Japan. Her goal was to surpass the $23,000 she helped raise at a similar event last year for the earthquake in Haiti. Stunning even her own hopes of quadrupling that figure, Bakesale for Japan raised $140,000—more than six times that amount.
So what's on tap for this vibrant community organizer, who also cooks, teaches and writes? Like a productive chef, Samin has many things cooking at the moment—she just finished organizing another Pop-Up General Store, teaching a class in Understanding Acid, and is preparing for a special Tartine After Hours dinner today featuring cook/food videographer Daniel Klein of Perennial Palate. Her next big undertaking will be Eating for Education, a campaign to broaden the reach of The Edible Schoolyard founded by Alice Waters. It will be showcased at Chez Panisse's 40th anniversary celebrations taking place August 26-29th.
Broadly speaking, Eating for Education aspires to educate the public about such things as where food comes from, how to prepare it, its interaction with culture, and growing food in a socially and environmentally responsible way >>>
Worldwide Reading for Freedom of the Press and in Memory of Jamal Khashoggi
23. Oktober 2018
Dear Madam or Sir,
Below please find our call for a Worldwide Reading on December 10, 2018, signed, among others, by Nobel laureates Elfriede Jelinek, Herta Müller, Wole Soyinka, Mario Vargas Llosa, as well as Manal al-Sharif, Margarete Atwood, Bernard Henri Levy, Roberto Saviano, Eva Menasse, David Van Reybrouck and the President of PEN International, Jennifer Clement.
Worldwide Reading for Freedom of the Press and in Memory of Jamal Khashoggi on the 70th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights
On December 10, 1948, 70 years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was announced by the United Nations General Assembly at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. On this anniversary, the international literature festival berlin (ilb) calls upon individuals, institutions, universities, schools, and media who value freedom of the press and human rights to organize and participate in a worldwide reading in memory of the murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The last time Khashoggi was seen alive was when he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2. After nearly three weeks of silence, Saudi Arabia admitted that he died there during a fight with Saudi officials. However, the evidence – such as the deployment of a fifteen-member team of security officers including a forensic scientist – indicates that the murder of Khashoggi was planned well in advance or, at the very least, accepted. The involvement of the highest levels of the Saudi Arabian government, including the crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, is very likely, since such an action against a prominent critic of the regime would hardly be undertaken without the approval of the royal family. Until now, Saudi Arabia has not offered any clues about the location of Khashoggi's body. The initiators of the worldwide reading demand the complete and transparent truth about the events that transpired. The responsible parties must be held accountable.
In the last text written by the 59-year-old (he would have celebrated his sixtieth birthday on October 13, 2018) Saudi journalist, which the Washington Post published two weeks after his disappearance, Khashoggi emphatically calls for freedom of expression in the Arab world. His firm stance has now cost the journalist his life.
This murder is the climax of a series of oft-unsolved murders of male and female journalists in recent years, as seen by recent cases in Mexico, Bulgaria, Malta, and Slovakia. Freedom of the press and freedom of expression, the indispensability of which Khashoggi emphasized with regard to the Arab world, is under threat everywhere, including in Europe. Consequently, journalists and political dissidents, even those in exile, are no longer safe, as this case blatantly shows. Jamal Khashoggi is simply the most prominent victim thus far. Many murders against journalists do not even reach the attention of the world public. We also remember that in Turkey, too, freedom of the press is extremely restricted. Over 150 journalists and authors are imprisoned, with some serving lifelong sentences.
At the same time, this incident has already led to serious consequences for international politics and the global economy. Numerous leading managers and economic policy makers will no longer participate in the large Future Investment Initiative scheduled to take place in Riyadh at the end of October. Therefore, this incident clearly shows that the protection of freedom of the press and freedom of expression and the fight against the murder of journalists and extrajudicial state killings are not about some kind of unrealistic idealism in terms of human rights, but rather that we are all affected by these crimes – culturally, politically, and economically.
If this incident, the most stunning murder of a journalist in recent years, does not lead to consequences – what then? Who will be the next murdered journalist, activist, or dissident, and in which country? Even after the partial confession by the Saudis, this incident may not be swept under the rug. Remembering Khashoggi on the anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights is intended to make this emphatically clear.
With all this in mind, on December 10, we call upon you to participate in the worldwide reading of texts by Jamal Khashoggi and – depending on the specific national context – other murdered, missing, and imprisoned journalists.
Please send information about the reading in your location to email@example.com so that we may publicize the events on our websites http://www.worldwide-reading.com and www.literaturfestival.com.

Random Acts Of Kindness
4/27/13: Lack of a partner church didn't stop Lana and I from hitting the Garden of Hope on this amazing spring Saturday. But, after all the unrelenting rain last week, our newly tilled soil was pounded solid as a rock. Just when we thought we couldn't bear working anymore, a whole van full of people from the Ginger Creek community service team came to the rescue. Their random act of kindness was an overwhelming display of God's provision. God bless you for responding to the need! Linda

It's been a few days since #hurricaneharvey hit Rockport, Victoria, Houston and surrounding areas in SE Texas and currently slamming Beaumont and many cities in Louisiana.
My heart is breaking for those who have lost everything due to the hurricane in Texas this week. Knowing that it will be years to come back from what they are experiencing right now. I've seen it all before with Katrina in New Orleans… shoot I can remember stories of when my hometown (Lockport, La) was underwater for Hurricane Juan in the 80's. My Dad taking our boat into town in order to help people who were stuck or needed supplies.
It's the Gulf Coast way of life, BUT it doesn't mean it's an easy way to live.
Is it coincidental that most of the big storms happened on the same day years apart? Talk about Deja Vu every 3-4 years. Wow!
I sit here and pray for friends of mine who are still waiting to hear from loved ones and do what I can to help support the organizations that are helping those in need. But deep down, it doesn't feel like enough.
With everything that has been going on it makes me question myself… AM I really doing enough in my business? AM I providing enough value to women and Mompreneurs like myself? AM I too comfy in my own bubble and still hiding when I need to show my face more? Would anyone even notice if I wasn't here today sharing affirmations and truthbombs daily. No. They wouldn't. It would be easy to just hide right now.
Here's the thing, it's a slippery slope if I let myself think that way! I will NOT and YOU can NOT give up on sharing the message behind your business with the world. Not now. Not ever.
So I'm showing up TODAY to ask you to keep going. Make a connection! Share more, talk more, and be totally authentic and transparent YOU.
Yes, you can take time off. Yes, you can clear negativity from your life. Yes, you can snuggle up with your children (especially the fur babies).
Continue to Be an action taker and goal getter no matter how uncomfortable it makes you. Stay consistent and continue to be real as possible. Agreed???
Sending you light, love, and big tight hugs!

Parasha Hayyei Sarah/
The characters in our parsha, the Life of Sarah or Hayyei Sarah, are well-known. While the title speaks for itself, most of the action is identified with men-Abraham, Eliezer [i], and then Isaac. My real interest is in Rebecca, the most iron-willed of our matriarchs (which is saying something). She is the bridge between Akeidat Yitzhak, the Binding of Isaac, and the death of Sarah. This is certainly no accident, as it foreshadows the next stage of covenantal history. But Rebecca is not just a tool. She is an actress with a pronounced sense of self. Modern commentator Tikvah Frymer Kensky sees Rebecca as comparable to Abraham in her hospitality and to Sarah in her willingness to subvert her husband's inclinations in order to fulfill the will of God. "These women temper paternal authority to bring about God's will."
Yet, despite her strong entrance and her powerful manipulations of the men in her family, there is eventually something unstable about Rebecca. Initially, in Chapter 24 Rebecca is remarkably self-assured. She appears with her water jug on her shoulder and shows no hesitation in engaging the stranger, watering his caravan of camels, and inviting him home. She is comfortable in her persona---she identifies with her family, but given the opportunity to leave, she announces her intention with the single and unambiguous word, elekh---I'm outta here. This is Rebecca the confident.
Something changes. She sees Isaac, and suddenly she is falling off the camel and covering up. She struggles to conceive, and when Isaac's prayers are answered, she struggles in pregnancy, finally seeking out God. Ramban, Nachmanides, dismisses the explanations of Rashi (why did I yearn to be pregnant?) and Ibn Ezra (why is my pregnancy so abnormal?) and says that Rebecca's question is: "Why do I exist in the world? I wish I were dead, or had never been born!" Ramban associates Rebecca's anguish with that of Job-if this is life, why live?
What's up with Rebecca? My suspicion is that she entered the scene whole, confident that she could fix any problem, and then she was pierced by the suffering absorbed by Yitzhak. Her husband has the least fitting name in Tanakh, The Bible. Can you imagine Isaac, whose name means "he will laugh," laughing? It is almost a cruel irony of his life that the laughter preceding his birth was actually sarcastic. In life he may have suffered at the hands of his big brother, was nearly sacrificed by his father, and seems to have endured a silent and paralyzing form of grief over his mother's death.
It is a mystery as to how these characters, or any persons for that matter, develop as they do. But today, after all of the horrible episodes and wars in our world, I think about the myriad of young men and women all over the world who left home whole, ready to serve and solve the world's problems, just like young Rebecca, and some became transformed into fragmented selves, broken by battles that started externally and then infiltrated their minds and bodies.
The time is now for our collective Jewish and general communities to rally for one another so that we don't have the Rebeccas and Isaacs of the world going into their shells. Instead, we should have people who still want to be a part of this great society. I believe we can rally now and help each other heal and feel each other's appreciation and love.
Shabbat Shalom!
Rabbi Jeffrey Abraham
[i] In my attempt to be consistent with the Conservative movement, I strive to utilize the spellings from our Etz Hayim. As I reached for it to be sure I had the name of Abraham's servant properly spelled, I realized Eliezer was not mentioned by name in Hayyei Sarah. I knew that I knew his name, but from where? In a short jaunt back to Lekh L'kha, we are given his name. Perhaps next year we will address why he is only mentioned as "the servant" in Hayyei Sarah so many times.

Editor's Note: CSCU was on the scene at this year's Money 20/20 in Las Vegas. Billed as the world's largest payments and financial services innovation event, Money 20/20 attracted 11,500 attendees this year while drawing more than 400 fintech vendors. As our experts saw it, a few themes emerged such as APIs, blockchain, bots, and the critical need for financial institutions to think and act differently to keep up with the changes in technology. Following is a recap of some of the sessions and announcements with links to relevant articles.
PayPal and Facebook Partner to Offer Payments in Messenger
PayPal said it is making it easy for PayPal customers to link their PayPal accounts to Facebook and Messenger at PayPal checkout. Messenger users can order a pizza and pay using PayPal from within Messenger. PayPal can also be used to pay for items from Facebook Marketplace. And PayPal customers in the U.S. will also be able to get notifications in Messenger, including receiving receipts for PayPal transactions neatly in one place.
Co-op Joining Early Warning Network to Offer Zelle to Credit Unions
Zelle was launched by several large financial institutions, including Wells Fargo, Chase and BofA, to compete with Venmo by offering a P2P payment service free to banking customers. There are currently 19 directly connected financial institutions, including First Tech CU. Co-op announced that it has formed a partnership with Early Warning, the parent company of Zelle, to offer the service to its member credit unions by the end of 2017.
IBM Pay Launched
The newest form of mobile payment was introduced at Money20/20 by IBM. Its selling points are discounts and loyalty. The solution includes Watson, IBM's artificial intelligence system. It is assumed that Watson will find the best deals and know which card to use to maximize rewards.
Google Announces Hands Free Payments
Google recently launched the pilot program for its "Hands Free" payment system in certain stores across the San Francisco Bay area. To use the system, users must install the Hands Free app for Android and iOS, where their photos and credit/debit card information are collected. While visiting a Hands Free-enabled business, users' apps will sync with a point of sale system over Bluetooth Low Energy or Wi-Fi. When they need to pay, they simply tell the cashier that they want to "pay with Google." No need to take the phone out of a pocket. The cashier verifies the customer's identity with a photo in the POS system, then requests their first and last initials to complete the transaction. The success of Google Hands Free depends on merchants' willingness to install Bluetooth.
Bank of America Unveils an AI-Powered Bot to Help Customers With Their Personal Finances
Bank of America debuted a virtual assistant bot, named Erica. The bot uses artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to learn your personal spending habits and offer helpful advice. Erica is designed to be not just a virtual assistant but each customer's "personal advocate." It can tell you about your spending habits, notice if you spend more than usual on a certain product or category of products, present opportunities to reduce debt or save money, and alert you if your credit score dips.
The World of Finance is Living in "Exponential" Times, said John Sculley
John Sculley, former chief executive officer of Apple, offered some words of wisdom to big financial firms: plan for radical change, or prepare for obsolescence. Linear times are marked by slow and gradual improvement, Sculley said, whereas exponential times are characterized by rapid and tumultuous change. Cautious short-term thinkers will be passed by, he continued, invoking a "exponential vs. linear" framework. "If you think in the fintech world that you can live in linear times," Sculley said, characterizing the attitude as having a "sit-back-and-wait" mentality, "it ain't going to turn out that way." "There will be Kodak examples in the financial services industry."
Venture Capital Experts Identify Impediments to Blockchain in Financial Markets
A discussion on blockchain's use in capital markets diverged among panel members. While blockchain could enable a 10-minute settlement time for financial trades, advocated by Judd Bagley of overstock.com, that doesn't mean that would be beneficial for the industry to upend its existing processes. Nasdaq's Yolanda Goettsch pointed out that many parties will be disintermediated by blockchain; those parties are the ones on Wall Street that could try to prevent blockchain from entering their business model.
Mercator Presents EMV Status Update
The Electronic Transactions Association originally forecast that 100 percent U.S. adoption of EMV would take five years, which is about how long it took European nations to get to the 50 percent mark. According to Mercator, 3 in 5 Americans now own at least one EMV chip card, and they expect that as many as 50 percent of credit card transactions will be chip-enabled yet this year. The American Banker Association (ABA) reports that more than 700 million chip cards have been issued in the U.S., and the entire conversion is expected to be done by year-end, 2018.

(NaPoWriMo) No. 25 log: earth day 2009
log: earth day 2009
soon we will leave
for the Indian restaurant
where we are meeting friends.
early this morning,
i dreamed something complicated
about a garbage can problem
in an unfamiliar kitchen.
the solution was utterly simple
and involved a bold decision
to change everything
about the garbage can
today is brilliantly spring.
it feels like a great gift
with no irony or strings
i am wearing sandals.
tiny green leaf buds sing
silly little notes
that rise like bubbles
into the enormous sky.
i can see them.
today i've thought about:
the death of a dear elder friend last night
ashes gratitude
forgiveness & how to hug
someone you don't want to hug you back.
today i've read
some Wallace Stevens
Borges & misc.
this afternoon
Steph's tiny puppy curled
into my neck and slept
on me.
before that
a hawk sailed over my head
robins greeted me
my dog said I love you
a thousand ways
and now my husband's
filling the house
with music
before we go.
--Zann Carter 04.25.09

On Saturday, the whole team assembled in Colne (Barrowford) at the Steven Burke Cycling Hub, for Round 3 of the North West Youth League.
The weather was very good and there seemed to be a good turnout.
In a contrast to previous rounds, a large contingent of Irish Academy riders had travelled over for this event using it as a basis for selection for some future stage races.
Here is a personal blog from Tom Ashcroft on the Youth B Race:
In the first race, I was in the top 5 all the way around for the four fast laps of the winding circuit. On the last bend I unfortunately got pushed out, which made me sit up, I then rolled home for 9th place.
In the second race, a rider broke away from the peloton with 11 laps to go, his team mate was slowing our peloton down so it made it a lot harder to close the big gap considering only a few were willing to work through and try and close the gap. The other riders sat on. Unfortunately we didn't catch the rider that broke away. In the last lap the mayhem on the last corner before the sprint caused me to lose a lot of places and placed me 11th. I finished 8th overall on the day.
Here is a personal blog from Daniel Gibson on the Youth A Race:
The first race was a short 5km race that went off very quick from the start. There were extra riders due to 11 Irish riders coming over for an experience of English racing. After two laps there was a crash which all of our riders got caught behind and a group of 11 went off the front. We worked and managed to get them back and in the end I came out with 8th place with the rest of the team not far behind.
The second race started off slower but there were a large amount if attacking mostly from the Irish riders. By the end 5 riders went clear and stayed away to the finish. All of the team finished in the main pack in a very sketchy race with Luke finishing highest in 9th position. Lewis rode very well, staying up near the front and trying to control the attacks throughout.
