Recruitment, Retention and Retirement in Higher Education
Building and Managing the Faculty of the Future
Edited by Robert L. Clark and Jennifer Ma
Chapter 11: To phase or not to phase: the dynamics of choosing phased retirement in academe
David W. Leslie and Natasha Janson
David W. Leslie and Natasha Janson With the abolition of mandatory retirement, academic institutions are increasingly exploring alternative retirement options for their faculty. Early retirement, phased retirement, and other arrangements extending employment beyond the traditional retirement age(s) are alternatives that have emerged during a period best described as unsettled and exploratory. While approximately half of all colleges and universities now offer phased retirement options to their faculty, phased retirement is still a relatively new development and has not been studied to the point that any clear assessments of its effectiveness are available. This chapter focuses on the experiences thus far of a small sample of institutions with phased retirement policies. Our study, sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, was conducted during 2003–04 and is based on extensive interviews at twelve institutions and two state systems. We interviewed a wide array of faculty members who had elected for phased retirement and institutional leaders including department chairs, deans, provosts, and system-level executives. We supplemented the interviews at (predominantly) comprehensive and research universities with a survey of (principally) smaller liberal arts colleges. Altogether, we have responses from approximately 150 individuals. This chapter is a preliminary report about selected findings. Our project's original purpose was to explore institutions' and individuals' experience with flexible employment arrangements – focusing on phased retirement. We expected to learn how providing more flexible working conditions for late career faculty might lead to new ideas that could benefit early career faculty who are more often...

Read: John 16:31-33
John 16:31-33
31 "Do you now believe?" Jesus replied. 32"A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. 33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Knowing what is to come, Jesus desires to impart some last minute wisdom before his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the next few days, these men gathered around him will have their worlds turned upside down. Our lives can change in a matter of seconds, but how you react in the midst of adversity can portray the trust-worthiness of Christ to others. No matter how daunting the obstacle facing you, remember Jesus has already overcome the world.

Q&A with founder Christopher Frager
Chris: Fire away!
Chris: That's a good question Matt and totally random. I have in fact been known to make a pretty nutritious smoothie. Although one in which I made for my mom and she gagged cause it wasn't sweet enough, so I guess it's not for everyone. The trick is to use a high-powered blender as opposed to a juicer because a blender retains all the fibrous roughage. I start out with some ice, coconut or almond milk, frozen berries, a banana, cinnamon powder, reishi mushroom powder, hemp and chia seeds, cilantro, parsley, beet, fresh turmeric and ginger, burdock root, daikon radish, some greens, and a scoop of peanut butter cause the fat helps absorb the nutrients.
Matt: How often do you drink them?
Chris: "Maybe four to five times a week. It's just an easy way to get a lot of health benefits without having to cook all the time. Just throw that shit in a blender and voila!
Matt: You're pumping on two cylinders when you are here.
Chris: For sure, and I'm at six cylinders when I'm home. I'm like a sports car when I'm home and when I'm here, I'm like a '92 Ford Explorer. The windows don't work.
Matt: And you're using two spare tires.
Chris: Yes, two spare tires. And one of the panels is painted another color. But the car is still running.
Chris: Well I have very fond memories growing up in Portland, where I currently live. I thought it was great. It was a provincial city in the 80's and 90's with a small town vibe while still being a mid-sized city. I really liked how green it was and my childhood home was right next to Forest Park, which is one of the biggest urban parks in America. I had a lot of great memories of running around in the forest while also being close to downtown and other big city amenities like the Portland Trail Blazers!
Portland evolved organically, where each neighborhood had a distinct vibe. I also really liked how easy it was to access the outdoors, with the coast being an hour away and the mountains being an hour away. My whole family is from Portland and it's just nice to have them around.
Chris: That's a good question. I think the Zapotec patterns have a similar vibe to Navajo textiles that I've come across since I was a kid. Having grown up in Oregon where so many Native American groups lived, I was really intrigued by the Native Americans in Central-America. So being interested in the Zapotec rugs was a great reason to go explore that region and see the indigenous groups there.
After going to Oaxaca and meeting with weavers and seeing first hand the beautiful art in which they create I knew we had stumbled upon something special. Being a part of an ancient craft that spans 2000 years was an extremely exciting prospect. Considering so many Native American groups and their art are extinct and only seen as artifacts in a museum, I feel compelled to help sustain the Zapotec weaving craft so as not to let it die out.
I also really admire the time-intensive process that goes into weaving just one rug. We live in a time where we want things to be produced quickly and efficiently, so it's really gratifying to see the opposite, where the Zapotecs won't sacrifice the integrity of their art for more efficient and cheaper methods.
Chris: Wow. That's hard. Even though we are working in Mexico, there are so many places I haven't been yet. I think Oaxaca is definitively on the top of the list. It has a rich, artistic, vibe. There's amazing music, food, and the people are really friendly.
Another place I would like to go is into the mountains of San Luis Potosi to a sacred site called Real De Catorce, where Huicholi shamans go on pilgrimages. I would like to observe a peyote ceremony and perhaps take part if it were offered to me. I really like Huicholi art and I would like to see what inspires their art. I've heard it's really hard to get to and would be more of an adventure than a tourist attraction, which is my kind of traveling.
Guadalajara is also a great city to visit in Mexico. We've been there a few time because we were initially building furniture with artisans there and selling it in the USA. Guadalajara is an extremely underrated city to visit. It's a city with about four to five million people and although it's inland, it's a very cosmopolitan city. It's gritty, vibrant, inexpensive, the people are cool, and there's a direct flight from Portland which is super random. We met some great people in Guadalajara who are very proud of where they are from. A realization we had was that many people in Guadalajara are extremely content with their lives there and don't have a desire to be in the USA, which dispels a generalization in America that most Mexicans want to come to the USA.
Chris: Oh my god, seriously? Okay…how did I develop my dance moves... Well I do love house music. I started listening to it after I moved to Europe. Growing up in Portland I would attend a lot of jam-band and hippie concerts and would just groove with the crowd. Those were my favorite types of shows to go to because everyone is very free-spirited and non-judgmental, so you could dance however you wanted and it was all good. Occasionally I would get a flying dread lock to the face but that goes with the territory. Great people watching! Dancing to me has two benefits, you can shake out any bad energy from the day while also taking in good energy. It's a form of therapy I guess.
Chris: Oh wow. Well you know I love the mole.
Chris: Absolutely! I love mole. I get it almost every time we go out. Our favorite restaurant in Oaxaca, called Zandunga, has the best mole in town. I get it with a Mezcal flight and I'm good to go. Mole, like the Zapotec rugs, takes a long time to make. It's such a complex dish with so many flavors. You talked shit about my mole one night, saying the chicken looked like it was "drowning in mole." I didn't see it like that. I saw it like the chicken was rafting on a river of mole.
Another Oaxacan food we had that was un-fucking-real was at a remote market in the village of Zaachila and it was these carnitas tacos. They were the best tacos I think we've both ever had. And they were like a $1.50 for two. Best pork tacos I've ever had. I think they used the whole pig. Every time we go to Oaxaca, we try to visit an indigenous market that takes place one day during the week. It's an extraordinary experience where people come from surrounding villages and sell their wares. There are no tourists but they don't really pay us any mind and are really friendly. We just go with an open minds, trying obscure looking fruits and vegetables, buy crickets, eat street tacos. It's not something my parents might enjoy, but if you want to get off the beaten path and be immersed in an ancient tradition and eat the best food you'll ever had for $2.00, go to a market in Oaxaca.
Chris: Favorite drink, I think is Mezcal. Mezcal is considered the divine cousin of tequila and in my opinion, is more complex and interesting. Like tequila, it's made from the agave plant. Mezcal distillers traditionally slow roast the agave by burying it in pits with hot rocks, which gives it its signature smoky flavor. I think it's a spiritual drink because it seems that every time I drink it I have really vivid dreams and Oaxaca is considered a spiritual place in itself. There's a great Mezcal brand called Los Amantes and we always go to the Mezcaleria in Oaxaca.
Chris: "Hmm. I think it's seeing a people who have been around for such a long time. The Zapotec civilization thrived from about 500 BC to 900 AD, which is crazy because at that time in Europe was just being born. The present day Zapotec people transmit an ancient vibe, they are literally old souls. Being from America where we are so young relatively speaking, it's a truly humbling experience to meet people that have an unbroken lineage that goes back 2,500 years. If anyone has an interest in learning about the Americas before Christopher Columbus arrived, I highly recommend the book 1491 by the author Charles Mann. It's an amazing read.
Chris: "Oh wow. Where do I start with this. We were introduced to the Mexican tropical fruit cup in Guadalajara. There are tropical fruit cup vendors who go around with little carts in the morning. They've got everything you want, they're slicing up mango, papaya, pineapple, cucumber, orange, , sometimes coconut. Oh and jicama, which I think is the X-factor in the fruit cup. It's not sweet but it's crunchy and adds a zing to the fruit cup. What else?
Chris: Oh yeah, watermelon. But you know, watermelon is kind of a filler. It's like raisons in trail mix. Not that exciting and takes up room. The defining factor in the fruit cup is the lime. Always ask for "mas limon, por favor." It's all about the lime. Sometimes you can request chili and salt if you're feeling really adventurous.
Sometimes the fruit cup sellers will post up on a street corner every day, they have their territory. But sometimes they aren't there. So you have to go find them. It's like 'where's Waldo?', but it's 'where's the fruit cup?' We thought about developing a fruit cup app where you can go on the App and find the fruit cup cart, rate the fruit cup, how fast they are cutting the fruit, and how much they are charging. They charge about 15 pesos for a large fruit cup, which is about $.80 cents. We start our morning with that every day.
Chris: That's true, I did spend about four years off and on living in Prague. It started in college at the University of Washington. I took a Slavic literature course by an amazing professor. All of the books we read in the course were very depressing and tragic, but they were also extremely humorous. I was fascinated by this idea, where people find humor in tragic experiences. One book I read was called the Unbearable Lightness of Being by Czech author Milan Kundera, which I really connected with. That spiraled into my interest in Czech new-wave cinema, Czech theater and classical music. That country was exotic for me at the time and wanted to know more.
Czech people have been through so much in their history and their sovereignty was constantly threatened by geo-political movements, by the Austo-Hungarian Empire, the Nazis, the Soviet Union, to name a few. They have been through so much. It's such a foreign concept to me as an American because we've never been under the dominion of another nation.
Prague itself is a magical city. The architecture is amazing as it didn't get touched during World War II. When I was there in 2004-2008, Prague wasn't as polished as it is today. It was still coming out of the throws of communism. It had a grit that was quite appealing to me. I also like that it felt like the center of Europe. You could take a train and end up in Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow. I look at that time in my life fondly.
ChrisWow, that's a good question. I think something from the Grateful Dead because I've been listening to them for so long and it brings up so many memories. Maybe a song like Eyes of the World or Franklin's Tower.
But also a part of me wants to choose the theme song for Jurassic Park because that was actually the first song that came into my head when you asked the question. You know, when they are in the helicopter flying to the island and they are all excited, and then at the end of the movie when they are flying away from the island and everyone's dead and the T-Rex is running amok. That's the duality of my life.
Chris: Sounds good.

Western Springs Update
The Finch St project has concluded very successfully. The two remaining townhouses have found their new owners and they are incredibly happy living in their new amazing spaces. We keep in contact with them and I'm delighted to share some comments that were passed on to us by one of the new families living there.
"We recently purchased a property developed by Graeme Fan and wanted to put on record both how much we love the design of the property and also how impressed we've been with the post settlement service that Graeme has provided." - GT
What we have found most rewarding is that we achieved our goal of creating quality homes that the new owners are delighted with and will cherish for years to come.
I promised to update you on the learnings taken from the Finch St project and I will do that in subsequent posts. I just wished to say that I'm going to try and write some more over the next few weeks to update you on what's been happening here at Beaudomus.

The main objective of the study is to provide the European industry with pragmatic information and guidelines for the implementation of DVB-RCS services in the two target regions, Latin America and Africa. In order to serve these objectives the study will place a particular emphasis on:
The main challenge is to obtain reliable information to provide the most pragmatic "cook book" for the European industry willing to implement DVB-RCS projects in these two areas.
Promotion of DVB-RCS standard and successful system implementation in target regions.
Market study.
The project has five subsequent tasks, to be performed in eight months between the 1st of January and 31st of August 2006:
The project started on January 1, 2006 and ended on September 30, 2006. Final Presentation of the results will take place at ESA, ESTEC premises on October 26, 2006 at 2 PM.
All 5 tasks are achieved.
Five African countries have been selected and will be studied in detail : Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt and Angola. In Latin America the three following countries have been selected: Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
A detailed market study has been performed for the 8 selected countries. DVB-RCS service's requirements have been characterized. Market figures were computed in terms of number of terminals sold and satellite capacity usage, taking into account competition from terrestrial and satellite services.
On the basis of the service analysis and market figures, 3 commercial and technical scenarios have been elaborated for the most promising countries in Africa and in Latin America:
The optimal business value chain and hub location are described for each scenario.
The typical network topology for a DVB-RCS system consists of a central hub station and several remotes VSATs. Space segment configuration of a DVB-RCS system consists of several forward carriers and their associated return carriers using a MF-TDMA mechanism. The total number of transponders needed has been compilated and the link budget calculated.
The implementation processes in Africa and Latin America have been detailed, taking into account specific regulatory, commercial and technical constraints, for each scenario.
A financial model has been built for the key actors in the value chain, for each scenario, in order to assess their profitability, and a sensitivity analysis has been performed.
The Financial Assessment has been achieved bearing in mind 2 key objectives:
NPV, IRR and Payback period are the parameters used for investment decision.
There is today a window of opportunity for offering a qualitative DVB-RCS service in selected countries in Africa and Latin America, assuming that such a business would start in 2007/2008. Both East and West African scenarios are viable and therefore offer an opportunity for European companies to launch a profitable DVB-RCS business in Africa and Latin America. The present study provides inputs for conservative business plans to be prepared by European companies willing to invest in such new business. Once their business plan is completed, it is recommended to launch a pilot project, with the potential support of ESA ARTES programme, in order to promote and demonstrate the technical and commercial viability of the DVB-RCS service in Africa and Latin America.

The ground is fully saturated after all that lovely rain. The wind was wild but we did not have any downed trees, just a lot of laid down grass. I love to notice that patterns in the grass after the storm, the tall grass flattened and the shorter grass sticking up. The taller grass is hiding the puddles now. When you look out in the fields, you think that most of the water has been absorbed, but when you walk through them you realize how much is still on the surface.
We cut back the herb garden last week. The picture above is quite a contrast to the summer time; you can only see the green grass, all the herbs are dormant! When I walked out there this morning, the garden was full of birds, feasting on all the worms and bugs that came to the surface.
The tarragon is starting to grow again. The leaves on the buckeye tree behind the office are just opening; their color is almost fluorescent. We also hand weeded the garlic last week. It was quite a task, as the roots are almost impossible to remove. However, it is nice to be able to see the garlic sprouts again.
Stella and the sheep came in the barn for the storm as they were grazing in the wet lowland areas. The main herd was fine on higher ground. After 4 days in the barn, Stella and the sheep are desperate to be back out.
Walking the drainages is the perfect antidote to 4 days inside, due to sickness and the rain. Having running water on the farm is a treat!
For this week, here is the list for sale:
- Beets
- Lettuce
- Carrots
- Fennel
- Onions
- Parsnips
- Rutabagas
- Purple Top Turnips
- Winter Squash
- Watermelon Radish
- Chard
The fennel, lettuce, and chard will be freshly harvested. The rest has been previously harvested and stored. We will also have potatoes and hakueri turnips available for free. When we are growing year round next year, we hope and will plan to be able to offer even more diversity.
Jeanne Schrim has kindly offered to lead the craft this week. She will be making paper stars.

I dare say that I had already read my uncle's letter a hundred times, and I am sure that I knew it by heart. None the less I took it out of my pocket, and, sitting on the side of the lugger, I went over it again with as much attention as if it were for the first time. It was written in a prim, angular hand, such as one might expect from a man who had begun life as a village attorney, and it was addressed to Louis de Laval, to the care of William Hargreaves, of the Green Man in Ashford, Kent. The landlord had many a hogshead of untaxed French brandy from the Normandy coast, and the letter had found its way by the same hands

General advice from dentist is to change your toothbrush every 3 months. That's 4 new toothbrushes a year, and if we calculate the equivalent over 25 years, 100 plastic toothbrushes from just one human. Considering there are 8 million people in London, that's 32 million plastic toothbrushes going into landfill from the population of London alone. Plastic toothbrushes are not recyclable, and are unnecessary when you can use a bamboo one.
Mine is by f.e.t.e, which feature cute coloured designs but there are so many on the market. They do exactly the same as any other manual toothbrush does, but the handle is biodegradable so do not contribute to landfill. I found my teeth felt just as clean as when using a plastic toothbrush- the bristles haven't really changed so you aren't even changing the way you brush your teeth, only what you are holding onto to do so.
My only gripe is that in general the bristles are made of a synthetic substance, so aren't biodegradable, but changing the handle is at least an improvement to a fully plastic product. I have found some which use pig hair as bristles, but as I don't use animal products I struggle with that one. However if you eat do eat meat then this may be the one for you! I know there is also a brand called preserve who create toothbrushes from recycled yoghurt pots, but I believe it is an American brand so the shipping is really expensive to the UK. If you are based in the US it might be worth having a look at these.
Once you are done with your toothbrush, (plastic ones included) don't throw it away! It's a great cleaning tool for hard to get to corners of the house (sinks, taps, plugholes), great for cleaning shoes and the cracks between the tiles. There's always a use for them! I always have a few sitting under the sink waiting to be used for cleaning.
F.e.t.e Bamboo toothbrush
Other bamboo toothbrush brands (cheaper)
Pig hair bristle toothbrush
*To be clear and transparent, I do have an electric toothbrush from pre-conscious consumer days. As it still works perfectly, I will continue to use this until it no longer works, and then transition completely over to bamboo toothbrushes. I bought this f.e.t.e one specifically for when I went travelling earlier this year, and use it now in rotation with my electric toothbrush. I see no use in throwing away perfectly working items to try and achieve a completely Zero Waste lifestyle, as that is in itself wasteful.*

Burp Suite Professional 1.7.16 (Full + Crack)
Burp Suite Professional 1.7.16
Burp Suite Professional 1.7.16 Full Crack is an integrated platform for performing security testing of web applications. Its various tools work seamlessly together to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities.
Burp gives you full control, letting you combine advanced manual techniques with state-of-the-art automation, to make your work faster, more effective, and more fun.
What's New in Burp Suite Professional 1.7.16:
- There is a new command-line option to launch Burp with a specified user configuration file:–user-config-file=my_file.jsonThis can be used to set any user-level option, including Burp extensions to load. It is useful when running Burp on headless systems where there is no UI for configuring user-level options. By creating a suitable user-level config file, it is possible to launch Burp on a headless system with specific Burp extensions or any other user-level setting.
- Some recent changes to Tomcat cause it to reject a wider range of raw characters in the URL query string, going beyond the standard practice of browsers and other web servers. Burp Scanner and Intruder now apply URL-encoding to the relevant characters by default, ensuring that their payloads are accepted by Tomcat and reach the application code.
- A bug that was recently introduced that prevented license activation in headless mode has been fixed.
- The Content Discovery function now correctly handles applications that have wildcard behavior for file extensions (e.g. those that return a specific response for admin.xxx regardless of the file extension). This eliminates the only known false positives reported by the new Content Discovery engine.
- There are some new options in the Proxy for stripping request headers that offer to support encodings that may cause problems with intercepted traffic in Burp. These options are on by default.
- Logging options have moved from the user level to the project level, and are now included in project-level configuration files and project files. This means that you can enable logging on a per-project basis and have this setting remembered when reopening a project file.
- Unicode characters in URLs are now properly handled in the "Paste URL as request" function.
- Various other minor bugfixes and enhancements have been made.

This listing is for 27 inches (68.6 cm) continuous length of this fabric. This is the last piece of this fabric available.
This beautiful tsumugi (shot) fabric is unused, old stock and would make an amazing scarf, quilt, pillow case or skirt. I think it could be used to make a beautiful table or mantel runner. It can be used for apparel but please remember that kimono fabric is not as wide as other fabrics.
This silk fabric has a woven sayagata (key fret) pattern in deep pink and red colors over a beige-creme colored background. This design is an auspicious design and is often associated with "strength" and "enternity".
Tsumugi is created out of pre-dyed threads. The warp and weft threads are different colors (called shot fabric) giving the fabric a wonderful depth of color. Traditionally the weft threads of tsumugi are black. The weft threads of this fabric are a beautiful golden yellow color while the warp threads are a creme color with red and deep pink dyed areas. This creates a beige hued fabric that appears more yellow-golden colored, depending on the light. The color has a great depth and changes in the light due to the different colored warp and weft threads. Typical of tsumugi, this fabric is highly textured and has slubbing.
The last photo shows the colors most accurately. Crayola brand crayons were placed in the photo for color comparison. The sheen of this fabric made it difficult to capture the color accurately. The sheen is making the photos look a little more lighter (less golden) in color than seen in person. I took these photos in natural light. Please enlarge the photos to see the wonderful color and texture of the silk.
**Please note that there are 2 small, black spots on this fabric. These spots can be seen in the 9th photo. They are located near the selvage line.**
This silk has a smooth, but not slippery, texture and slubbing (bumps) that is associated with tsumugi. It also has a crisp texture and slightly stiff drape that is similar to a dupioni silk. The silk should become more supple with use.
Fabric specifics:
-Fabric is 14.75 inches (37.5 cm) wide.
-27 inches (68.6 cm) continuous length
- light to medium weight
-100% silk
-Minimal stretch from selvage to selvage
- Minimal lengthwise stretch
-Slighty stiff drape

The Coffee Diaries/ a. taylor studio
Chronicling the search for the perfect cup.
The coffee diaries began when I realized that my home town lacked the perfect little cafe for a charming, leisurely stop for espresso. Having been inspired by Italy's cappuccinos and mastery of effortless, relaxed cafe culture, I sensed that this was not just a quest for the perfect cup, but for the ideal ambience to enjoy it. This began the coffee diaries. It is a series with regular contributions about my coffee experiences, broken down by beverage, roast, flavor, ambience, and moment.
At first I felt conspicuous going into various cafes in the city with the sole intention of buying a latte, snapping photos of it, and jotting down notes in the diary. At times I do get slightly carried away during the process; particularly my knack to pursue latte art - the delicately arched cream leaves and tulips created by a barista virtuoso. The art is one aspect I crave. I've come to realize that I love this act of searching for the perfect cup so much that it is something I look forward to do on a Saturday morning; it turns into an event, rather than a simple completion of a bucket list task.
I am not a coffee snob, and I don't know a lot about single-origins and brew methods and roast types. But I am pretty sure I am learning and I am definitely enjoying these chronicles. I hope to someday cover cafes and coffees all over the nation - maybe the world! Check below for the posts individually or click here to see them all as a series. It's just one of life's little things (and chances are you enjoy it too). So if you see me around the Philadelphia area taking pictures of my latte, come up and say ciao. Join me in chronicling the search for the perfect cup!
We decided to explore the town of Oyster Bay, a short drive away from Sagamore Hill. Everything was so quaint in the snow, and the surroundings almost begged us to slow down and appreciate the tranquility. Nevertheless, I was driving, flustered with Google Maps, and decided to just have my mom search for the nearest coffee place that sounded good. Finding South Down Coffee was serendipitous.
Being back at Saint's was a treat last weekend - it's the perfect college coffee nook. I am reminiscent of it for a few reasons...
There is a certain energy that surrounds a beach cafe...it is undeniable. Knowing the beach is close might be the magic. The ritual of having coffee - the ritual that precedes the day, precedes the day's possibilities, what's to come - evokes a different kind of energy at the beach.
The interior of this cafe is so gorgeous, with airy and bright light streaming in the giant windows. The coffee bar, a long marble slab, stretches the length of the place. Pretty lattes are served up left and right!
If you're a long time reader, you would know that my series, Coffee Diaries, was inspired by an appreciation for good coffee. But not just the coffee itself - the cafe.
When you enter Menagerie, one of the immediate feelings that hits you is the earthy, quiet and cozy atmsophere.
Happy Bones is no misnomer.
The lightest, cinnamon-iest flavor...
Enjoying a latte in this beautiful space is like my coffee diaries dream!
On our morning outings, this place is the exact thing we look for. Something new, cutting-edge, and exceeding our expectations.
This coffee diaries post is an exceptionally significant one. Let me preface it by saying this...it includes an amazing new cafe, but to make it even better, I was joined by a long time friend from the blogging world who I finally met in 'real' life
Join me in chronicling the search for the perfect cup!
We stumbled upon Boro Bean after taking a wrong turn on our route towards...
If there is a cafe I could repeatedly go to, and call my own, I think it would be Bodhi.
This place is an eptiome of minimalist California cool.
The windows and doors were open and a warm April breeze was sweeping through the cafe...
A few weeks ago I found myself in DC and one of the first things I wanted to do was to continue my coffee diaries quest.
It was pure symbiosis. I love this place.
This time around I chose a cortado...
Love, friends and coffee.
Since landing in Los Angeles I have been carefully mapping out local cafes, in pursuit of my very first West Coast edition of the coffee diaries.
I'm realizing that my coffee chronicling (aka diary-ing) needs to be turned into a more suitable verb that rolls off the tongue. Scouting? Searching?
Let me take you back so you can fully understand this particularly unfortunate coffee diary entry.

WASHINGTON — In a move likely to prove only symbolic, the Senate Appropriations Committee voted on Thursday to overturn the Mexico City Policy, which President Trump announced in January he would reinstate and which the State Department formalized in May.
The policy, put in place by Republican presidents and nullified by Democratic ones for three decades, prevents federal family planning assistance from reaching foreign nongovernmental organizations that promote or provide abortions. The policy as announced by the State Department in the spring went a step further by prohibiting any global health assistance from going to these foreign NGOs.
The committee voted 16-14 on Thursday to support an amendment to the State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs budget that would overturn the policy. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who offered the amendment, introduced legislation with the same intent in January, days after President Trump announced he would reinstate the ban.
"The global gag rule is a dangerous and ill-conceived policy that blocks millions of women and their families from receiving critical aid and assistance," Shaheen said in a statement. "My amendment will preserve and restore funding levels for international organizations that help to prevent over fifty million unintended pregnancies around the world, and reduce the number of maternal deaths we see from those accessing unsafe abortions when the lack of family planning leaves them without options."
STAT reported in May that the foreign aid funding impacted by the restriction could total $8.8 billion, of which $6 billion goes to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) — who co-sponsored Shaheen's legislation in January — voted for the amendment, while Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) voted no.
The parallel House spending plan included no such provision, meaning a final budget agreement — if one is reached — will include a compromise that could water down the Shaheen amendment's impacts.
"At some point, these two bills are going to get negotiated into something both houses pass," said Brian Dixon, a senior vice president at the Population Connection Action Fund, a global family planning advocacy group. "It's important that the Senate be strongly in support of good family planning and policy."
But he and other family planning advocates expressed little optimism that the measure would actually be adopted. Capitol Hill's current conventional wisdom also holds that a full budget deal is less likely than a continuing resolution that largely preserves the spending status quo.
The vote, nonetheless, is another indication of GOP legislators' reluctance to go along with many White House positions on health, from repealing the Affordable Care Act to reducing funding for biomedical research to its desire to more specifically direct money destined for overseas health organizations.
The White House referred questions to the Office of Management and Budget, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Analysis of the Bottled Water Industry Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The shortage of potable water on some islands in the Maldives has been described as "serious" by the national disaster management centre (NDMC). There are currently 12 islands which have been facing water shortages since mid-February, according to Moosa Ali Kaleyfaan, deputy director general of the NDMC. The NDMC has supplied 763 tons of water to eight islands, but four more islands [… ] are in desperate need of water, he said. "The main reason is it hasn't rained for a long time it's the dry season," said Moosa.
"Even more islands are believed to face this problem. The department of meteorology has forecast the dry season will continue until June [2009]. The NDMC has spent an estimated US$60,000 to supply water to the 12 islands. "I am very upset with the government because we need water," said 42-year old Jameela Aboobakuru from Gaafaru. "We ran out of water, so we borrowed water from our brother. When he ran out of water we started buying bottled water imported from Male'.
" She said her 12-member family was spending US$22 a day to buy bottled water for drinking and cooking; their daily income, she added, was only US$26.
On another island, Gulhi, Ahmed Ibrahim, the island office assistant director, said islanders had been importing bottles water from the capital as well as in jerry cans. "They are getting water somehow," he said, "but the island needs a permanent solution to this problem like piped desalinated water. " Kaleyfaan agreed, saying although water was supplied to the islands from Male', it was necessary to seek a long-term solution such the installation of a desalination plant on every island. We are already in the process of installing a desalination plant in a boat, so that in emergencies we can supply water by travelling between islands," he said. [… ] Almost 100 per cent of islanders use rainwater as the main source of drinking and cooking water. In [the capital] Male, 100 per cent of the population has access to piped desalinated water. After the 2004 tsunami, 38 islands were provided desalination plants by UN that are operated daily or on emergency basis.

The periods of a modular function f are integrals of f along geodesics in the hyperbolic plane joining a real irrational quadratic number with its Galois conjugate. When f is the well-known j-function, its periods have been the object of various recent works of Duke, Imamoglu and Toth, and have been viewed as analogs of singular moduli for real quadratic fields. In this talk we will address two conjectures of Kaneko that predict some specific behaviours of the periods of j around geodesics that correspond to Markov quadratics. Markov quadratics are those which can be worse approximated by rationals; they give the beginning of the Lagrange spectrum in Diophantine approximation.

Deputy Sheriff to the US Prime Minister John Howard says he does not agree with comments by the Indonesian Vice-President Hamzah Haz that the real terrorist is the United States for attacking Iraq.
It has been reported that Hamzah Haz has told an Islamic boarding school in Central Java the United States are the "king of terrorists".
War criminal, Howard has told the Southern Cross radio network he does not think President Megawati Sukarnoputri would agree with her Vice-President.
But did Howard ask Megawati Sukarnoputri? No! He jumped straight over the top of Hamzah Haz into the politics of Indonesia just like Deputy Dog. Telling Australia what someone else thinks without asking them is the hight of ignorance. Not listening to what other countries are saying about us is ignorant and stupid. Why? Because he's backing the "king of the terrorists in our name, making enemies with our closest neighbours.
War Criminal Howard: "Things are often said in different countries that have different cultures and political systems, operate in a different way."
"We might, from our vantage point as Australians see [this] as very strange.
"But part of having an effective fight against terrorism in the region is to have a good relationship with Indonesia and sometimes you have to manage your language and calibrate your responses to serve those ends."

Evidence that Howard was complicit in CIA, false flag, call to arms, Bali bombings
War criminal John Howard was complicit in the call to arms - false flag operation - Bali bombings - instigated by the CIA - and the Coalition of the Killing - to bolster support - and quell dissent for their illegal and degrading resource wars in the Middle East.
Infidels! God is great!:Abu Bakar Bashir
Australia stop meddling in our country, Bashir to appeal against prison term.[Patsy for the CIA, false flag, call to arms, Bali Bombings, to bolster support and to quell dissent for the Coalition of the Killing's resource wars in the Middle East.]
By Deputy Dog 5 September 03
THE MIRROR: Sounds like Howard needs to take the opportunity to listen to himself more often. John Howard often says things about different countries that have different cultures and political systems that operate in different ways. Australian's might, from there vantage point as Australians see [this] as very strange.
But part of having no fights against anyone in the region is to have a good relationship with Indonesia and sometimes you have to manage your language and calibrate your responses to serve those ends.

Hypocrisy not Democracy? No Blood for Oil!

Howard defends terror alert
Prime Minister John Howard says the Federal Government would not have issued a terror alert if it had not come from a credible source. (America?)

Please also refer to the Communication section of this website for general information about communication.
Communication encompasses both verbal and non-verbal forms (which includes written, gestures, body language, demonstration and sign language).
- How to address patient/client – what is considered respectful by your patient/client.If unsure it is best to approach with the patients/clients full title until instructed otherwise by the patient/client.e.g. Mr Jones
- Use of non-verbal communication including body language and facial expressions
- Communication Interferences – does the patient/client require a hearing aid? Do they have difficulty hearing?
N.B. The Victorian Deaf Society has produced an information sheet to aid communication with a hearing impaired person. The society regularly updates their information sheets as new evidence emerges. This sheet contains good, basic guidelines:
- Confidentiality and how to gain consent for a patient/client with dementia
- Working with a patient/client when there is a barrier to communication e.g. Medical Condition (e.g. dementia, stroke), cultural background (is English their first language?), personality, generation
Information about Communicating with a Patient/Client with Dementia (MESSAGE) is contained within the resources section of the Aged Care Target Area.
If you were to meet the following person in a social situation for the first time, how would you address them?
An 88 year old lady whose name is Jan Smith. (Consider verbal and non-verbal communication including body position and gestures.)
If this lady was your grandmother, how would you like other people to answer this question?
Would this be different in a work situation?
Would this change if this lady was hard of hearing?
Would this change if you realised this lady had dementia?

For this to make sense IMHO you have to remember that Microsoft is a large corp. bureaucracy, complete with feudal lords & their kingdoms. And basically it's caused MS to sort of step in it...
Likely teed off at how many people never installed, or installed & removed the update to 10 garbage in win7/8, MS removed some of the pages on their site detailing what was going to appear on Update Tuesday, delayed publishing that info [those times it makes, that info available], and most recently decided to bundle updates into one patch file rather than several. The only somewhat good news about that is that eventually MS promises to make those update packages completely cumulative, so if you (re)install Windows one update gets you current.
Problem is: to even begin to get that to work you have to be able to trust the individual update packages, & MS had made it obvious that you cannot... they still haven't fixed the Anniversary Update so it works for everyone, & later updates this month broke millions of webcams & broke Power Shell, among other snafus. So to be safest you have to avoid Windows Updates entirely until it's clear that nothing you rely on breaks, which is the opposite effect of what MS hoped for, with millions of Windows installs without any of the latest patches rather than just missing one or two.

Ever wondered how the Amish get their laundry done? Laundry duties are usually assigned to women in Amish homes. They normally do not use electricity. But most families do use generator powered wringer washers to get their laundry done.
Amish families are usually large. With sometimes over eight children. So laundry is a very important duty and can be a very grand task. Also, the Amish are very earthy people, who get hands on with farming, typical yard and household chores, gardening and even their chosen careers can get them quite dirty. How then do Amish women end up having those wonderful lines of clothes looking so clean and smelling so fresh all the time? Well… Here is how to get the same laundry results even if you are not Amish.
Make A Schedule
Schedule your wash days. Most Amish women have a set day to do laundry. But some might even have three laundry days per week. Set your laundry schedule based on the size of your family, and how much or how often things get dirty around your home. Be as flexible as you need to be and break it up into multiple days as you see it fit.
After The Weekend
In most Amish communities, it is a common practice for laundry day to be on Mondays. This is so because they prefer to have their clothes washed right after the weekend. A lot of activities take place on the weekends, including church. More clothes are worn on weekends, so it works just fine for them to get their laundry done right after the weekend. Also, Amish rest day is Sunday. And it makes perfect sense to take on laundry right after a day of rest, as it requires so much energy.
Ahead Of Time
Scheduling laundry on a Monday also ensures necessary clothes for the coming weekend will get a chance to be washed, dried and ironed in time. Regardless of weather conditions or emergency situations, there will be enough time to reschedule for another day in the week if the need presents itself.
Bluing Your Whites
Washing blue is a household product that the Amish use in their wash water. Bluing is especially used for whites, as it gives them a whiter look.
