In the Clarinet Quintet in B Minor, written post-retirement and inspired by the clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld, the music muses over itself as a life lived, ending enigmatically at its own beginning. Pre-concert discussion with OSL Clarinetist Jon Manasse will introduce the range of Brahms's style that you will hear on the program, as well as the singular influence a performer can have on a musical artist.

WASHINGTON–Fall temperatures in the Arctic are at record highs, the Arctic Ocean is warming and desalinating as sea ice melts, and reindeer herds appear to be declining, researchers reported yesterday.
"Obviously, the planet is interconnected, so what happens in the Arctic does matter" to the rest of the world, Jackie Richter-Menge of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, N.H., said in releasing the third annual Arctic Report Card.
The report, compiled by 46 scientists from 10 countries, looks at a variety of conditions in the Arctic.
The region has long been expected to be among the first to show impacts from global warming, which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says is largely a result of human activities adding carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere.
"Changes in the Arctic show a domino effect from multiple causes more clearly than in other regions," said James Overland, an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. "It's a sensitive system and often reflects changes in relatively fast and dramatic ways."
For example, fall air temperatures in the Arctic are at a record 5C above normal. The report noted 2007 was the warmest year on record in the Arctic, leading to a record loss of sea ice. This year's sea ice melt was second only to 2007.
The study noted a warming trend on Arctic land and an increase in greenery as shrubs move into areas that were formerly permafrost.
The rate so far this century is less than in the 1990s because of natural variability, the researchers said.

I've decided to change my travel blogs up a bit — half because I thought 12 paragraphs talking about my trip must be quite boring to read. Half because I am bored. So instead, I thought I would give a 1-3 sentence review of wherever I went on my travels and a rating from one to five penguins for how good it was!
Here is my review from the past week I spent in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington:
Day 1 – Portland
Portland Timbers Match
Scalped $10 seats for a friendly with Swedish football club AIK. Great supporters section. Great night of entertainment (if you like soccer). 4 penguins.
Dechutes Brewery
I'd compare Dechutes to the New Belgium of the Pacific Northwest, quality beers with some special ones available in their tap room. On a weekend night prepare a long wait, but worth it for the food! Get the Stout Mac n' Cheese, or else. 4 penguins.
Day 2 – Portland
Good, high-quality brunch food with amazingly kind wait staff for a place that must seat 200-plus people. Also, best wait list ever. They will text you when your table is almost ready, so you can go wandering off as far as you'd like. 4 penguins.
Amazing local coffee purveyors is an understatement. Best mocha I have ever had. 5 penguins.
Salt & Straw Ice Cream
Deliciously, amazing ice cream in flavours you have never heard of, and will love. Taste a bunch before you pick. And yes, olive oil in ice cream in delicious. 5 penguins.
Hotlips Pizza
Went there late on a Sunday night for dinner. Delicious slices, but pick the daily special, you won't be disappointed. Also, amazing happy hour. 4 penguins.
Rouge Brewing
Another Pacific Northwest staple. The tap room lets you taste as much as you want, including all the beers they sell in bombers nationwide… for free! (I am looking at you Avery) Yes they are a bigger brewery, but they still make some damn good beers. 4 penguins.
Day 3 – Portland
Lovejoy Bakers
Good breakfast stop in the Pearl District for pastries or a breakfast sandwich. They also have Crème brûlée steal cut oats which are delicious (maybe a bit sugary). Great for a grab-n-go on a busy day or to sit down for a minute. 4 penguins.
One of my favourite science museums, they usually always have an amazing rotating exhibit which is worth the extra money (it was the Mythbusters one when I was there). Also, they have their world famous IMAX screen. 5 penguins.
Cascade Brewing
Like sour beers? They have dozens, and they are all amazing. Also had a guest tap of a B/W Stout which was a wheat-coloured stout, so delicious that I had two! 4 penguins.
Base Camp Brewing
New to the area. Imagine if a brewery and REI met and had a love child, that sums up this brewery. Get the s'mores stout with a toasted marshmallow on the rim. Delicious. 5 penguins.
Burnside Brewing
Decent brewery on NE Brurnside. Good food. An amazing sweet and spicy beer to pair with it. I was drunk by the time I got here. 3 penguins.
Day 4 – Portland
Voodoo Doughnuts
A must do in Portland. New location lost the charm, but at least can handle the crowd. Make sure you go there during the middle of a weekday to avoid a hour-plus wait. 4 penguins.
Stumptown Coffee
If you haven't already had their coffee somewhere else in the city (everywhere serves them) then stop by the home base. Enjoy a good shot of espresso while all the hipsters in bike gear stroll through. 4 penguins.
World Museum of Forestry
Fun little museum about forests and trees and such. Not much to see for the cost, but a nice change of pace if you don't want to go the zoo across the street. 3 penguins.
Washington Park / Hoyt Arboretum
Portland's Central Park, it has miles of trails that connect the zoo, rose garden, museums, Japanese gardens, and downtown. Great for a stroll through the redwoods or urban meadows. 4 penguins.
I Like Thai Food Cart
Solid curry for $5. You can't go wrong. 4 penguins.
Base Camp Brewing
Again. See above. Erin and I wanted another marshmallow s'mores beer.
Sizzle Pie
Good pizza on NE Burnside, but not as good as Hotlips in my opinion. Then again, they are open until 3am all week long. Hard to beat that. 3 penguins.
Day 5 – Portland and Seattle
Fuller's Diner
Fun (small) classic diner in the Pearl district. Simple, cheap, and filling. Don't forget your cash. 3 penguins.
Amtrak Cascades
Takes just 30 minutes longer than driving or flying. Cheap during weekdays and great views out the window. Sit on the left side. Also, free wi-fi! 4 penguins.
Cutter's Seafood
Good, high quality food and wine. You pay a premium for the service and the views of Puget Sound from the windows. Great for your one fancy night out in the city. 4 penguins.
La Pichet
Only went here for dessert and coffee. Delicious and authentic French food. Will have to go back for a whole meal, everything looked amazing. 5 penguins.
Day 6 – Seattle
Pacific Science Center
Located in the Seattle Center, another fun science museum that is starting to feel a bit dated. Still worth the money unlike the Space Needle. 3 penguins.
EMP Museum
Another museum in the Seattle Center, this one is dedicated to music, pop, and science fiction. Some cool exhibits, including a hands on music making studio. So fun! 4 penguins.
Jake's Fish
Fish and chips shop on Pike Place offering most any seafood in fried form. Delicious, cheap, and actually has its own seating! 4 penguins.
Three Sisters Bakery
Little bakery in Pike Place. None of this gluten free, low fat crap. It's all buttery deliciousness! 4 penguins.
Bauhaus Books and Coffee
Awesome little coffee shop in the Capitol Hill area. Awesome full wall bookshelves and upstairs loft seating. Drinks are a bit on the sweet side. 3 penguins.
Mexican restaurant in Capital Hill. Eh service, and Colorado Mexican food has spoiled me. 2 penguins.
Day 7 – Seattle
Yes the little one on Pike Place is the original (make sure you don't go to the either of the ones a block away). This is still a real coffee shop, none of their push button machine crap they serve around the country. A must stop in Seattle. 4 penguins.
Museum of Flight
I love planes. And space. This place has a whole lot of both! I am biased. 5 penguins.
Pike Place Chowder
Amazing chowder place in Post Alley offering any kind of chowder you can think of. Come late or early, or expect a line. Comes with delicious free sourdough bread, too! 4 penguins.
Shy Giant Frozen Yogurt
Good, local frozen yogurt that's reasonably priced for being in Pike Place. They could be a bit more adventurous with their flavours tho. 3 penguins.
Beecher's Cheese
Delicious cheese place on Pike Place. The curds were amazing. But don't eat a whole pound of them before getting on a flight. 4 penguins.
There you have it!, my seven day adventure to the Pacific Northwest that involved a lot of food, beer, pizza, museums, coffee, and ice cream! Hope these reviews help you find a good place if you are ever in the neighbourhood!

This time, I was traveling on behalf of World Renew, visiting our community development partner there, the Church of Uganda, in particular the Diocese of Northern Uganda and Ajulu Archdeaconry. I was very excited to meet the community members and staff of our partner organization and to learn more about effective community mobilization in an area that had long been war territory.
On the five-hour drive on good roads north out of Kampala, I marveled at this country endowed with so much beauty. As we stopped to see Karuma Falls, I was reminded of Romans 1:20 -"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." [NASB]
When you see beauty like this, you are forced to believe that the creator God is real and lives. I pray that people who will continue to travel this way will see and hear God through this experience of His creation. As I look at these falls, I have a bittersweet feeling. The government is planning to construct a hydroelectric dam here and I am worried that all this beauty may disappear and that we will not be caring effectively for God's creation. On the other hand, the electricity will enable more people to attend school, help hospitals function, and allow businesses to thrive.
We traveled to Ajulu to meet our partner staff. We are told that Ajulu was once the center of rebel activities and that most people had left for the safety of the internally-displaced peoples' camps. Today, they are returning and resettling. World Renew and the Dioceses of Northern Uganda decided to pilot two community mobilization approaches there and, depending on the results, roll out and expand the most effective programs.
In Pawel Parish, the community had already organized in village saving and loans groups practicing conservation agriculture. Seeking to work through existing structures, World Renew and the Dioceses took on these groups formed by another entity. In Kal Parish, World Renew and the Dioceses started self-help groups from scratch.
The difference is evident from the first meeting with the groups. In one group, the community has undergone more spiritual growth and formation, better development; there is community ownership of the programs and they are more self-reliant. The group names too are very interesting. In Pawel Parish, we met with Can Pe Wat (Poverty is not my friend), Binonga wii (Find/get me), and Peny wii (Ask your head). In Kal Parish, the self-help group names were Lubanga miyo (God gives), Lubanga ber (God is good), and Ribe-ber (Unity is good). Although the Dioceses and World Renew are going to continue working in both parishes, we have decided to use the self-help group methodology when opening up new program sites.
In Pawel, Teladwong Village, we visited the conservation agriculture plot belonging to Can Pe Wat, a registered village savings and loans group of 30 members, 7 men and 23 women. Since their establishment five years ago, they have been able to save their funds in a safe place, learn the importance of saving, access loans, and provide support to each other in times of trouble. All the members participate in agriculture for subsistence or business. At the group plot (pictured at right), they practice conservation agriculture by minimizing soil tillage, intercropping cassava and maize, and covering the soil with garden residue. They still struggle with growing land conflicts, erratic rains and increasingly unpredictable seasons, post-harvest handling, and accessing good markets for their produce. All members report that they have been able to take loans to educate their children, pay medical bills, and invest in small businesses.
In Pasal village, we visited Auma Corstine and Florence Okeya, members of the Lubanga miyo (God gives) self-help group. The self-help groups here were started about two years ago. Members have undergone training in identifying and prioritizing their problems, identifying locally available resources, and leading in their own development. They also participate in village savings and loan activities allowing them many of the same opportunities as the groups in Pawel.
Auma owns a small retail shop which serves the whole village. After joining the self-help group, she received training and took out her first loan of 20,000 shillings (5 USD), enough for 2 packets of flour which she used to bake chapati. After paying off that loan, she then borrowed 50,000 shilling (13 USD), allowing her to bake even more. At the time of our visit, Auma was servicing a 500,000 (135 USD) loan and her chapati business continues to grow.
Florence has recently returned to Pasal after her husband's retirement. Like many other members of her group, Florence started borrowing money to trade in dry cassava, taking and paying back three different loans. With a bigger loan of 500,000 shillings (135 USD), Florence bought a pig, while still maintaining her cassava business. This April, the pig had 8 piglets which Florence will sell for 50,000 shillings each, keeping the mother for future litters. Her next goal is to buy a cow and she is sure she will make that happen.
The Dioceses of Northern Uganda and World Renew hope to see more of these stories of transformation, healing, and restoration in this region to the glory of God.
Thank you for your participation in bringing transformation to these children of God.
Personal Update:
- The Lord has been very good to us. Gladson has continued pastoring the church while supporting me day to day. Cynthia has completed her first degree and has had the opportunity to do two months of internship with World Vision in Arua. She is also in the process of interviewing for employment. Please continue praying for her that this goes well and she is able to secure a job. Last weekend we were able to visit Winnie at school and she is doing very well.
- In April and May I traveled to North America and had the opportunity to visit and speak in many more churches and to many foundations. It was very encouraging to see so many people interested in and wanting to support the work we do. I met Bruce Dykstra, who had an interesting story to tell — he received this drum from refugees from Uganda in 1974 and was eagerly waiting for me so that I would receive the drum and bring it home!
- June and July are an interesting time of the year for me. In June our financial year comes to an end; we close out activities and begin planning implementation of activities for the next year. June 30 is also the end of my biological year because July 1 is my birthday! I visited Fort Patico in Gulu to celebrate a successful year accomplished and started out the new year at a staff spiritual retreat with the World Renew Uganda team in Malindi Kenya.

Australian shares closed slightly higher on Thursday as broad market optimism was enough to counteract heavy losses from the healthcare sector.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 3.4 points, or 0.1 per cent, to 6259 while the broader All Ordinaries slid by 0.4 points to 6349.9.
Local shares opened strong on Thursday before plummeting after the release of the March labour force figures. Despite trading in the red for most of the afternoon, the market made a late jump to close in the green.
"Given the scale of the rebound since the December low, there is a risk of a correction in the equity market, especially as we move to a seasonally weaker period," said Macquarie Securities analyst Matthew Brooks.
"Investors will get more bullish on stocks when the S&P 500 makes a new high. We are less than 2 per cent away from this mark."
Resource stocks rose on Thursday as positive Chinese economic data gave investors hope that the country would increase its consumption.
Rio Tinto rose 1.4 per cent to $97.74 and Fortescue Metals Group climbed 0.9 per cent to $7.48.
Whitehaven Coal shares rose 6.4 per cent to $4.46 after its Winchester South metallurgical coal project had been declared a "Coordinated Project'. The declaration paves the way for whole-of-government assessment of the project by way of an environmental impact statement.
The major banks also rose with some more modest gains. Commonwealth Bank rose 0.2 per cent to $73.41, Westpac advanced 0.1 per cent to $26.83 and ANZ lifted 0.2 per cent to $26.78.
NAB shares also closed higher despite announcing it would pay an additional $525 million to customers. Its shares rose 0.1 per cent to $25.27.
Galaxy Resources slid 11.6 per cent to $1.64 after announcing it had officially ended its search for a joint-venture partner for its Sal de Vida project. The company had been on the search for a partner for its flagship lithium project in Argentina since the end of last year, however it announced on Thursday it had not been able to find an appropriate partner.
Local health stocks followed the healthcare burn on Wall Street on Wednesday, spooked by UnitedHealth Group who expressed deep concern about Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for all" plans, saying it would cause wholesale disruption to the American health care industry.
ResMed shares fell 4 per cent to $13.60, CSL slid 1.3per cent to $190.51, Cochlear shares declined 2.1 per cent to $175.75, Australian Pharmaceutical Industries closed 4.9 per cent lower at $1.45 and Nanosonics went down 1.8 per cent to $4.48.
Palladium prices rose firmly on Wednesday as investors bet positive economic data from China would increase vehicle manufacturing.
The price of palladium rose 3 per cent to $US1,397.49 an ounce.
"Strong GDP data from China showed the economy is starting to hit back up again ... greater growth will see the economy expanding, translating into more demand for vehicles, in turn boosting demand for both platinum and palladium," RJO Futures senior commodities strategist Phillip Streible told Reuters.
Palladium and platinum are primarily used by automobile manufacturers for making catalytic converters.
Morgan Stanley retained its 'underweight' recommendation on DuluxGroup in spite of the acquisition offer from Nippon Paint.
While the broker lifted its price target to be in-line with the Japanese company's offer price, it recommended investors capitalise on the bid drive share price rise and sell.
"Our underweight view on DuluxGroup was predicated on meaningful headwinds for earnings from a weak housing and consumer backdrop and a stretched valuation," said analyst Andrew Scott.
"None of these factors has changed and with the valuation now expensive we would look to capitalise on the current share price."
The broker discounted the likelihood of a rival offer, saying the likeliest bidder Akzo was unlikely to match or exceed Nippon'sd bid.
Morgan Stanley lifted its price target on DuluxGroup from $6.50 to $9.80.

Bubs Australia has penned a four-year equity deal with pharmacy giant Chemist Warehouse relating to the sale and promotion of its baby-food products in its stores and online, giving the company a gateway to the lucrative Chinese market.
Under the signed binding heads of agreement with the Chemist Warehouse Retail Group, the pharmacy chain will provide sales and marketing services for a fee, linked to Bubs sales performance targets.
The powerful pharmacy chain will use these fees to buy up to 49,426,508 shares in Bubs over three years. This represents about 9 per cent of the ASX-listed Bubs.
The stock shot up 5.5¢, or 7 per cent, to 84.5¢ by 1215 AEDT, but still is some way off its 12 month high of 93¢ hit in early December.

Australian shares are ever so slightly in the red through the afternoon, weighed by the healthcare sector.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index is down 2.3 points, or 0.04 per cent, at 6254.1.
CSL shares are down 1.6 per cent, Aristocrat Leisure slid 1.4 per cent and Cochlear was down 2.2 per cent.
Galaxy Resources has slid 11.9 per cent, Orocobre is down 4.9 per cent and Australian Pharmaceutical Industries is down 4.8 per cent.
Rio Tinto is trading 1.6 per cent higher, Telstra shares are up 1.2 per cent and Treasury Wine Estates is up 3.3 per cent.
Whitehaven Coal is up 6.9 per cent, Syrah Resources has risen 3.7 per cent and Eclipx Group shares are also up 3.7 per cent.
And so it ends for MYOB – for the second time in 11 years – not with a sigh but a whimper.
Investors voted to send the company, which creates tax and accounting software, into the hands of private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts on Wednesday.
The $2 billion takeover of MYOB was finalised after months of shareholder infighting that stemmed from the deal, which fund manager –and holder of a 16 per cent stake in MYOB – Manikay Partners said "significantly under values" the software company.
MYOB will, as a result of the takeover, delist from the stock exchange. Chief executive Tim Reed said his company's work would be "more highly valued by a private ownership model than they were under a public ownership model".

Woodside Petroleum has reported progress towards the construction of two major production projects in Senegal and Western Australia as it works to put in place the pillars that will support a new spurt of growth for the oil and gas producer.
The developments at the $US2 billion ($2.79 billion) SNE oil project in Senegal and at the $US12 billion Scarborough LNG project in WA cement those ventures as the backbone of Woodside's "Horizon II" projects to provide expansion beyond the 100 million barrels output target set for next year.
Woodside, led by chief executive Peter Coleman, said it aimed for a final go-ahead for construction of the SNE project "as early as possible in H2 2019", while a final investment decision on Scarborough, where China's ENN Group signed up as a long-term customer early this month, is targeted for next year.

AUGUSTA — State legislators continue to consider a bill that would compensate Susan Cloutier for the loss of her husband and son in a December 2014 crash.
The bill, L.D. 1671, would provide $400,000 to Cloutier, whose husband, Ghislain "Gus," and son, Casey, were killed on the way to a hockey tournament when their car collided head-on with a sport utility vehicle that crossed the center line on U.S. Route 202 in Leeds.
Cloutier and the bill's sponsor, Rep. Craig Hickman, D-Winthrop, spoke last week in front of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee asking them to approve the legislation, which has the backing of Gov. Paul LePage.
"I told them I was not here asking for pity or sympathy," Cloutier said Monday during an interview at the Kennebec Journal. "I was asking for the financial support to raise my other son, Chase, maintain our lives and our home and our future, which was abruptly stolen from us."
The committee unanimously voted in support of the bill, which House Clerk Robert Hunt expects to be in front of the full House of Representatives shortly. Cloutier is hopeful that there is little debate on the House and Senate floor because the bill had unanimous committee support.
Maine tort law limits the state's liability to $400,000 per incident, but Hickman said Cloutier should get double that amount.
"In essence, we would be compensating the family $400,000 for the loss of her husband and $400,000 for the loss of her son, providing equitable relief for both tragedies," Hickman said, according to a transcript of the committee session. "(It would allow) Susan and her son some sense of security as they continue to grieve and find a way forward."
Cloutier became emotional several times during the Monday interview, including when she talked about needing financial assistance to pay for regular life expenses as well as Chase's extracurricular activities.
Casey Cloutier was a student at St. Dominic Academy in Auburn, and Cloutier said it was the hope of her and her husband that Chase would attend the same school as his older brother. Casey was a hockey fanatic and played on teams and regularly in tournaments, something that Chase continues while also excelling in karate.
Complicating matters for Cloutier, who returned full-time to the Maine Department of Health and Human Services Office of Information Technology in September, is her initial claim against the state. The driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident, Ralph Ryder Jr., of Livermore, was a state employee driving his own vehicle during work hours. He had a $50,000 policy for each injured party with GEICO, Cloutier said.
"State tort law limits my claim to $400,000, so the state would settle that claim with me and then be reimbursed by GEICO for the amount of Ryder's policy," Cloutier said.
The caveat attached to Hickman's legislation is that it only becomes effective if Cloutier's claim against the state is resolved, said Avery Day, chief legal counsel for LePage. Day said the legislation would provide an additional $400,000 by providing an appropriation rather than going through the process of litigating damages.
Cloutier said her attorney, Michelle Allott, of Farris Law in Gardiner, is working to resolve the claim with the attorney general's office. Allott is handling Cloutier's case pro bono and said there are standard legal hurdles that need to be cleared. The case involves a surviving minor child, so any financial settlement needs to be approved by a judge.
Attorney general spokesman Timothy Feeley said via email that the AG's office has been working with Allott on the claim, but he would not elaborate.
"I don't expect any problems. It just takes time because you have to get a bunch of documents together," Allott said. She said she is pleased that the Legislature and governor worked together on behalf of Cloutier and her son. "It would be nice if we could just get it taken care of."
Androscoggin District Attorney Andrew Robinson said his office determined in early March that Ryder would not face criminal charges in the fatal accident.
"We did not find any criminal conduct," Robinson said.
In December 2015, Hickman tried to introduce emergency legislation, "An Act To Compensate Susan Cloutier for Damages in Connection with Her Vehicle Liability Claim against a State Employee at the Department of Labor," but the bill never got off the ground.
Cloutier hopes Hickman's effort and concern for her and her son is more successful this time around.
"I'm just trying to provide for my son," Cloutier said. "He's been my rock."

I'm determined to keep doing these weekly posts even if I've been a slug all week without any progress to report. Because at least typing is moving my fingers and therefore burning a few calories, right?
This was not a good week in general, although there's a happy ending to the story. My very, very intense week last week extended into a very busy weekend which culminated with yet another presentation followed by an evening conference call on Monday and my guild meeting Tuesday night... Introvert Sandy was racing pell-mell towards full melt-down by then.
I wasn't sleeping much at all during most of that time, and what sleep I was getting was due to sleeping pills which, after a few days of taking them in succession, significantly affect my mood and not to the better. So I've not been sleeping, which means I've not been exercising and I've not been eating well. And because of my mood, I couldn't even bring myself to care.
Basically, everything went to pot this week and I finally had a full-on (mostly introvert) crash Tuesday night/Wed morning.
In terms of the "fighting the funk" category, however, I did try to take care of myself in some ways through all that by using various relaxation techniques just to get me through. Addressing symptoms only goes so far, however, until you can sort out the causal factors.
That being said, I feel like things finally took a big turn for the better midweek, after my crash. Wednesday really seemed to be a turning point for me. First of all, WE HAVE SUN!!!!! So that's a big boost. I haven't been using my light box this week because I'm actually getting real live sun from the windows and when I go outdoors. Wow. That feels good. Plus Wednesday was the first day, after 12 days in a row of stuff going on, in which I had no conference calls, no presentations, no in-person meetings, no one other than my husband and dogs I needed to interact with. Blissful quietness. I didn't talk much to my husband or dogs that night, either.
Therefore, no surprise here, I got my first really solid night's sleep Wednesday night without the help of any pills at all! Thursday my mood was vastly improved but I still had some residual tired going on so I allowed myself to take it a little easy. Because I knew I'd be spending part of my day off today (Friday) with a bunch of people for my guild sew days, I let Introvert Sandy stay in hiding for one more night and didn't attend my WW meetings or go to the gym. I will start doing Daily Burn and/or the gym again this week--I know I have some lost ground to make up for.
Meanwhile, I did have a little fun with the current Craftsy sale and picked up three new classes. (One was nearly 60% off! Woo!) In my defense, however, one is a cooking class about vegetables that I have had on my wishlist for awhile. Since I just signed up with a new CSA for the summer (another woo!), I figured it was a timely purchase.
So although I have little to report this week, I am happy to say that all signs point to vast improvement for this coming week. We're supposed to keep getting sun and mostly-decent temperatures, even though we're also due for a little more snow sometime in the next few days. DD came home last night for her spring break this week; DH will be gone on business for some portion of next week so DD (a vegetarian and very good cook) and I will be playing in the kitchen with some healthier, adventuresome recipes that DH would never eat--he's generally a meat-and-potatah-kind of guy. So I'm really looking forward to getting back on track.
By the way, here's a very entertaining view of what an impending Introvert Melt-Down looks like. All I can say is, yep.

- For other uses, see Ancestor Moth.
The ritual involves carefully removing the bark of a canticle tree with a traditional tool called a draw knife which in turn attracts the Ancestor Moth. Once enough moths are in the vicinity, they grant the reader with the second sight needed to decipher the scroll.[2]
Second sightEdit
The voice of the Ancestor Moth has always been an integral part of reading an Elder Scroll. They maintain a connection to the ancient magic that allows a Moth Priest to decipher them. Moths within an Ancestor Glade emanate a soft harmonious trilling that when amplified tap into a form of primal augur. The allows the moths themselves to become a conduit for deciphering the scrolls. By having the moths close to the Moth Priest, they can utilize the conduit and share the moth's augury.[2]
Every Moth Priest is taught this ritual, but only the most resilient can read the scrolls in this manner as it takes years of practice to interpret the harmony. As such, few ever get the chance to perform it.[2]

Interfaith / Interethnic Coalition-Building To Combat Xenophobia and Religious-Based Discrimination
Helps civic leaders to develop the skills, relationships and shared objectives to foster joint action countering ethnic, racial, and religious intolerance and promoting pluralism.
Europe's refugee crisis, terrorism, and economic recession are driving prejudice against religious and ethnic minorities and perpetuating xenophobia across the continent. In the "Visegrad" countries of Central Europe – the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia – xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia increasingly factor in public discourse, linking populist grievance with sectarian intolerance and jeopardizing the well-being of ethnic and religious minorities.
Civic groups focused on individual minority communities need to build crossover alliances to scale up interventions and network with counterparts in Western Europe who have experience in coalition-building and political engagement. If civic groups in Central Europe take collective action, reach out to mainstream audiences, and network across Europe, then they can respond to xenophobia, racism, and ethnic and sectarian discrimination in informed, integrated, and sustainable ways.
To reach that goal, Jewish Association Czulent joined as a partner to the international project "Interfaith / Interethnic Coalition-Building To Combat Xenophobia and Religious-Based Discrimination" realized by National Democratic Institute in countries of the Visegrad Group. The project is taking place between 2016-2018. NDI helps civic leaders to develop the skills, relationships and shared objectives to foster joint action countering ethnic, racial, and religious intolerance and promoting pluralism. They include those representing religious and ethnic minority communities, as well as ainstream organizations working in human rights, multiculturalism, and migrant aid across the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.
The Institute imparts skills on interfaith and interethnic advocacy work in across the four countries. With NDI support, participants form coalitions to implement small projects, such as community-based research. Exchanges between organizations promote relationships and foster learning about other minority communities. A regional conference further broadens participant perspectives and skills on cross-minority coalitions, by linking them up with other organizations working on similar goals in other parts of Europe, and by producing a joint analysis of regional trends and gap analysis of primary challenges and areas for intervention.
In 2016 Association took part in a few workshop meeting during which our participants strengthened their soft skills connected to coalition building and communication, broadened their knowledge about anti-discrimination laws in the European Union and it's member countries. What is more important, we started a cooperation with other minority and majority organizations that are focused on combating discrimination and working for minority groups. Thanks to the actions taken during the project in 2016, we had an opportunity to get in contact with world wide organizations such as OSCE and ENAR.
The culmination part of the project will be the international conference in Kraków in 2017, co-organized by NDI from Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary, as well as Jewish Association Czulent, in partnership with ENAR (European Network Against Racism) and OSCE for the selected group of activists from Visegrad group.
Additionally, in 2017, ENAR – European partner of NDI will organize a study visit to Brussels for chosen activists group. It will allow the participants to exchange their experience, get feedback and guidelines about existing plans of actions as well as trends in UE and other regional institutions while having an opportunity to build coalitions to fight the problem of xenophobia and religious discrimination in Central Europe.
program implemented from 2016 to 2018

Click watch above…more detail will appear…
This is a very early attempt at a SWISS watch company producing a waterproof watch dating to the early 1940's. The stainless steel case is rectangular, measuring a respectable 22x43mm. with flexible (moveable) lugs and case back fastened with four screws for greater water resistance. The original dial is very attractive, having a reflective minute register, two tone (alternating) sections and original blued steel pencil hands with sub-seconds. The manual winding SWISS movement was just cleaned and is accurate. To find a STEEL rectangular watch is uncommon-add to this, an early waterproof case, makes this a VERY collectable vintage watch that will only appreciate in value over time! Please keep all vintage watches away from water, as the seals are not new!

One does not holiday without looking at all the most glammed up properties first (obviously). Yep, we've sourced the heavy-hitters of AirBnB which are all within your reach (ie. just a few hours away) and the good news is, they're all the definition of complete and utter #holidayporn.
We bring you the revamped farmhouses, the picture-perfect cottages, the infinity pools, the Palm Springs holiday mansions, the beachside beauties and naturally, the cave and tree house hideaway gems.
Pack your bags Sydney (or get ready to drool like crazy), here are the most beautiful AirBnB Properties in NSW.
Milton Surf and Stables (South Coast)
Say hello to Milton Surf and Stables. If there was an award for dining room of the year, we're sure Milton would get it, hands down. This rustic charmer is seriously picture perfect (everyone is saying so and we definitely agree) with an outdoor bar and lounge area situated right along the skirts of the forest. Yep, if you're keen for a weekend of kindling fires and home-cooked meals of the glorious chicken, you're going to be hella happy right here.
Jerrymara Farm
Kangaroo River
This one's a beautiful rural estate like no other with not one, but two modern farmhouses (which means it can hold up to 14 guests). Jerrymara Farm looks over Gerringong Village, the Pacific Oceanm and of course, its grounds are blessed with terraced walkways (because glam), a miniature lake, a tennis court and naturally, a saltwater pool. With a sprawling 4-acre country garden and then another 52 acres of coastal farmland to explore beyond the garden gate, we're pretty sure you'll be set for some serious memories when you shack up here.
Eagle View Park (near Jervis Bay)
Let's be honest, basically anything with an infinity pool is a major win for us #guilty, but the The Guest House (ideal for couples… or a weekend away with ya BFF) has a seriously awesome set-up and it totally won't break the bank either. Think a circular timber and glass studio above the ground, sitting on top of a hill with sights of the valley and ocean in all directions. Exactly.
The Shed
Kangaroo Valley
When there's a quiet country road that leads you all the way to a stunning farmyard property, you know you've hit a jackpot. The Shed is something unreal and there's no denying that words really can't do this gem justice. This converted farm shed has been transformed using a heap of recycled materials and you'll be able to invite up to 6 other mates onto its grounds (plus any animal friends you're keen to bring along). You'll find spacious living areas, a wood fire, and a pizza oven that makes even the worst cooks somewhat impressive. And not to mention, it's set on Kangaroo River (so yes, spontaneous dips are necessary).
Magnolia House
Byron Bay
Two words: Hamptons holiday. Make. That. Happen. Magnolia House is no doubt every wanderluster's dream, with big white panelled walls, a pool table, interior design on point, not to mention a fireplace and of course, a pool. If this isn't your quintessential beach house then we don't know what is. We kid you not; this one is heaven on earth.
Tree House Blue Mountains
No doubt you'll end up completely speechless when you see what this Blue Mountains Tree House has in store (can confirm we had no words). This property is pretty damn phenomenal and we guarantee time spent here will be the most peaceful of your life. To reiterate, this is an actual tree house, so think built around a tree and at a vantage point so perfect you'll feel like you're in the middle of some kind of stunning wallpaper.
If beautiful places are your jam and you've popped the question (or not!), check out these stunning places in Australia to honeymoon (or take the girls!).
Little Black Shack (Mackeral Beach, across from Palm Beach)
When people imagine pure hidden luxury, we imagine they concoct images something along the lines of the Little Black Shack. This original timber and sandstone fisherman's cottage lies right on the water's edge of Mackeral Beach, and it will feel like you're living in a ginormous houseboat. Inside, this beachside hideaway is decked out in sea treasures and boasts a damn impressive open fireplace. Outside you'll find a number of separate levels, you know so you can keep those incredible water views varied, including a private sandstone terrace equipped with deckchairs overlooking Pittwater, and an undercover pergola with a pizza oven #blessed.
Whale Beach
Stop everything. We're (unhealthily) obsessed with Keanu. Find 11 other friends STAT because you need to road-trip yourselves here like, yesterday. Think beach house. Then think a big beach house. Then think an even bigger beach house and you're almost there. Located on the cliff tops of Whale Beach, this exquisite property delivers on all fronts: five bedrooms, panoramic ocean views, a pool and cabana… sorry we got distracted. Did we mention how big this place is?
Bellingen Tree House
When you're keen to pull away from the big smoke and luxury mansions (God forbid), Bellingen Tree House is the perfect sanctuary to sneak away to. This 13 hectare property has been regenerated right in the middle of a rainforest and along the Never Never River, which of course, looks as enchanted and magical as it sounds.
The Enchanted Cave
Speaking of all things enchanted, you'll want to make your way to Bilpin people (Blue Mountains way) for one helluva special property. We're talking caves. Like hole in a rock kind of thing. This cliff top stay is built into a natural rock platform and has a small front door opening (Hobbit style) which means you'll score front seats to the best damn view anyone could ever lay eyes on and a pretty nifty spa. And oh, that spa.
Bilgola Beach House
Heads up, you're likely (in fact make that very likely) to get super lost in this one. This luxury beach haven has music streaming throughout most of the house, and is just a 10-minute walk down to the beach. With a heated pool and countless entertainment areas, our only warning is that you bring some discipline, you know, so you actually don't end up staying here forever (we wouldn't blame you for trying).

In the run-up to Christmas, we would like to heartily recommend that you do not, repeat do not, cast aside your usual pastimes for some Victorian Christmas games. We've just spent an hour poking around, and it turns out that in the nineteenth century, the most popular British Christmas games were those that involved grave risk of injury. There's "Shoe the Wild Mare", in which you balance a plank between two chairs, stand on top of it, and try to hit its underside with a hammer ten times without falling off. There's "Hot Cockles", in which one player shuts their eyes and everyone else takes it in turn to hit them on the back, until the eyes-shut player guesses which blow belonged to who. And there's Snapdragon, which combines the cheery warm let's-all-gather-round-a-table traditions of Christmas with (a) alcohol, and (b) fire.
The following description – along with the picture above – is taken from Robert Chambers' Book of Days:
A quantity of raisins are deposited in a large dish or bowl (the broader and shallower this is, the better), and brandy or some other spirit is poured over the fruit and ignited. The bystanders now endeavour, by turns, to grasp a raisin, by plunging their hands through the flames; and as this is somewhat of an arduous feat, requiring both courage and rapidity of action, a considerable amount of laughter and merriment is evoked at the expense of the unsuccessful competitors.
Whilst the sport of Snapdragon is going on, it is usual to extinguish all the lights in the room, so that the lurid glare from the flaming spirits may exercise to the full its weird-like effect.
Snapdragon, to personify him, has a 'poor relation' or 'country cousin,' who bears the name of Flapdragon. This is a favorite amusement among the common people in the western counties of England, and consists in placing a lighted candle in a can of ale or cider, and drinking up the contents of the vessel. This act entails, of course, considerable risk of having the face singed, and herein lies the essence of the sport, which may be averred to be a somewhat more arduous proceeding in these days of moustaches and long whiskers than it was in the time of our close-shaved grandfathers.
We have now entered an era in which our moustaches are, on the whole, less extravagant than they were in 1864, but speaking as someone with no moustache at all: this still does not seem like a very good idea for a game.

The Minister for Trade and Industry, Dr Spio-Garbrah, has called on the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) to provide more robust assistance to Ghana to enable it transform its economy through value-added manufacturing and an export-led economy.
Dr Spio-Garbrah was addressing the member states of UNIDO at the 42nd Session of the Industrial Development Board and the Special Session of the General Conference of UNIDO at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria today.
He pledged the commitment and desire of Ghana to strengthen its collaboration with UNIDO, inviting the organization to intervene in several sectors to promote the "Made-in-Ghana" policies of the country, including the country's global branding. He specifically sought the assistance of UNIDO for Ghana in areas such as Improving value chains in the agro and food processing industry; technical assistance to build a model food processing plant in Ghana; value addition in the production of coconut fibre and related by-products; training in implementing renewable energy technologies for decentralized power generation to support manufacturing for productive activities enterprises; manufacture of briquettes from agro residues, such as bagasse (sugarcane waste) to substitute wood charcoal; the manufacture of energy efficient stoves, local manufacture of LED lamps to substitute kerosene lamps.
In a statement to members of the 171-member nation organization, the Trade and Industry Minister urge UNIDO to facilitate the integration of developing countries into the global economy and help reduce the shocks of economic crisis. 'In furtherance of this, Ghana would like UNIDO to continue to enhance its support to countries in the implementation of projects aimed at reducing poverty and improving the living standards of the rural poor' , he said.
The Trade and Industry Minister said he was optimistic that the issues for discussions during the session currently under way were crucial for the developing countries to enable them address current developmental challenges and work towards the achievement of inclusive and sustainable development.
Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah revealed that Ghana has endorsed the new mandate adopted at the last UNIDO General Conference held in Lima, Peru, in December 2013, where the member states of UNIDO directed the organization to focus its activities towards "inclusive and sustainable industrial development." To this end, he noted that Ghana recognizes UNIDO's valued services as a specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability.
The Trade and Industry Minister emphasized that Ghana's own economic development agenda was very well aligned to UNIDO's current thematic priorities of: Poverty reduction through productive activities; trade capacity-building; energy development and environmental protection. 'These fall in line with the essential pillars for Ghana's industrialization and are in line with the industrial transformation agenda of Ghana as enshrined in our industrial policy', he said.
Dr Spio-Garbrah assured UNIDO's member states that Ghana will continue to welcome partnership with UNIDO in order to benefit from the organization's expertise in the fields of agri-business and agro-industries; value addition to solid minerals Industries; the petrochemical Industry; and the services industry, all being sectors in which the country has attracted, and has the potentials to attract even more foreign direct investment.
Trade and Industry Minister expressed appreciation for the recent visit to Ghana earlier this year by the Director General of UNIDO, Mr. Li Yong, during which the importance of inclusive and sustainable industrial development in realizing economic growth and employment, was highlighted, at a meeting with President John Dramani Mahama. In that meeting, it became clear that there was the need for multilateral partnerships, such as South-South cooperation in fostering inclusive and sustainable industrial development. 'I further recall the Director-General's commendation of the Government of Ghana for its ambition to implement transformational policies, and his expectation that Ghana would develop policies and strategies that would safeguard the environment and enhance green growth in the country', the Minister said.
The Minister intimated that as a member of UNIDO for over four decades, Ghana appreciates the long partnership and the significant contributions UNIDO has made towards Ghana's efforts in achieving sustainable industrial development.
Dr Spio-Garbrah assured UNIDO of Ghana's continued collaboration in the implementation of projects that UNIDO was undertaking in Ghana, to enable the projects achieve their objectives.
Given the importance of UNIDO to developing countries in general, the Minister indicated Ghana is committed to the successful outcome of the discussions of this session of the IDB and on the future of UNIDO. 'Permit me therefore to urge UNIDO to facilitate the integration of developing countries into the global economy and help reduce the shocks of economic crisis. In furtherance of this, Ghana would like UNIDO to continue to enhance its support to countries in the implementation of projects aimed at reducing poverty and improving the living standards of the rural poor' , he said.
The Trade and Industry Minister said he was optimistic that the issues for discussions at this session would stimulate active and constructive debate on current developmental challenges and would lead to the achievement of inclusive and sustainable development.
Dr Spio-Garbrah, lauded Mr. Li Yong for his successful tenure so far as the Director-General of UNIDO and commended him on his accomplishment since his assumption of office.

Look below to find out what we've been getting up to!
This week has been jam-packed! On Wednesday afternoon we had a surprise for the whole school- we got to watch Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime! It was very funny and the actors had modernised the show. In English, we watched a short movie clip called 'Alma'- at first we only listened to the sounds though and had to imagine what was going on. In groups we discussed the cinematic features, for example, the way the camera was used to make the watcher feel trapped. Thursday was a special day because it was the feast of All Saints- we were joined by Father John to remember all those who have died and celebrated mass.
William and Liam (Class Councillors)
Week beginning 1/10/18
Welcome to our first regular write-up of what we've been getting up to in 6P! We aim to tell you all about the fun and exciting thing we have been doing.
In English, we have been writing a complaint letter to Mr Coombes about the harsh punishment that he gave Roald Dahl many years ago! In addition, I also got to grips with using the semi-colon which is used to separate items in an extended list. In maths, we have been ordering and simplifying fractions- today we did some mastery problems where we had to use a lot of brain power to solve! We have also been creating itineraries for our chosen city- so if you are planning a trip to Paris, come and ask us for information!
Here is a picture of our Class Councillors

Professional Education Case Study - Catholic Financial Life
According to Deloitte, insurance is likely to be disrupted by blockchain technology. After hearing about the rapid rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in late 2017 as well rumblings from peers in the insurance industry, Catholic Financial Life (CFL) recognized it needed to understand blockchain and determine how it might impact their relationships with customers and partners.
CFL then hired Euphrates to answer the the following questions:
Euphrates hosted a 1 hour "Lunch and Learn" on blockchain and its insurance applications with 40 of CFL's employees, followed by an in-depth Q&A.
Key Takeaways
"Alec and Davis did a great job of presenting an overview of blockchain and its potential impact on the insurance industry. Many of our attendees had never heard of Blockchain so we really needed Euphrates to parcel out only what we needed to hear. Blockchain is such a complex technology and we appreciated that it was explained in language that we could understand."
Case Study - Marquette University Blockchain Lab
Marquette University's Blockchain Lab's mission is to facilitate education and collaboration in the interest of advancing knowledge and implementation of distributed ledger solutions. Started as an experiment after hosting Wisconsin's first blockchain conference in November 2017, the lab quickly grew but ran into issues generating revenue and focusing its efforts. In May 2017, the Euphrates team was hired to 1) Determine the direction of the lab, and 2) develop a financially sustainable organization.
The Process
Contextual Analysis: The lab's audience was broken into segments, demand for blockchain education was analyzed, and a competitive analysis was performed. It was determined that significant unmet demand existed for blockchain education and networking opportunities for professionals.
Exploration: Given the lab's resources, analysis on different paths forward was conducted. It was concluded that providing high quality education in southeastern Wisconsin and an opportunity for corporations, entrepreneurs, and students to network, enabled the lab to capture the most value.
Strategy: A mission statement was developed that enabled the lab the flexibility to offer new value in the future yet was specific enough resonate with the lab's audience. In order to ensure the long-term success, a corporate structure and advisory board with experienced entrepreneurs was created. KPIs were developed and core activities were determined. All non-revenue generating paths were eliminated in the short term. With projected revenues coming primarily from events and sponsorships, efforts were focused on developing marketing partnerships with local organizations.
The Result
The result of these local partnerships boosted ticket revenues by 200%. Overall revenue for the lab increased by 500% in two months since the beginning of May 2018. Event engagement is at an all time high and the weighted average attendee rating of the lab's events is 4.8/5.

Just wrote the jacket copy for a new translation. I sent it in early, months early, and thought I was off the hook for a bit, but right away got a request for jacket copy from my on-the-ball editor. He's right, of course, besides being--I think--new to the job and keen: it's much easier for me to write the blurb when the translation is still fresh on my mind. A very rough draft, I'm going to let cook slowly on the back burner for a few days.
So now I have no excuse not to get on my bike and head for the gym. I have to go anyway, so why put it off? Afterwards I can pick up a couple books at the library and have an espresso, decaf, at Coupa and watch the machines chew up the demolition site. Meanwhile, if I turn my head and look out the window I see a little pot of sage on the balcony, and another of mint. Leaves droopy. I should water them, it will get me moving in the direction of my gym shoes. On the other hand, there's a rocking chair out there that is rocking all by itself.

If you haven't tried an Avery beer you are seriously missing out. These guys make fantastic brews and support the Boulder Mountain Bike Patrol. How can you lose?

The signatures are made from painted papers, most of which have been kicking around for many years. Once the pages were folded for the signatures, I had to choose how they would be ordered to become full spreads. Many of them are quite different from each other, and the project for this journal will be to unify the pages using all kinds of mixed media techniques.
This was inspired by the fabulous artist Jane Davies. Here you can read more about the process involved.

When discussing whether something is legal or not few people will actually go check with the source that provides the answer: the legal codes and the actual laws in question. This is understandable – it's hard to wade through the dense legalese to find the right laws, assuming they're even in the right place. If you're like most people Google is probably your go-to source. Unfortunately, most of the results you'll get from a Google search for something like "is recording police officers legal" are not entirely relevant.
When I did that search a post by the ACLU of Pennsylvania came up, which wasn't too helpful since I'm not in Pennsylvania, along with a plethora of articles on things to tell police or about knowing your rights. One thing notably missing was any reference to any specific laws. Even the ACLU piece which says what you may and may not do fails to actually cite a single law to support their argument. This is pretty commonplace and is one of the main reasons we provide the full law texts in our ATLAS smartphone app.
For a moment, let's assume you live in Mississippi and want to know the answer to this question. Adding "in Mississippi" to the search in the first paragraph of this post brings up guidelines and interpretations from the past 6 years, but no real answer. Laws change quite often and you need to know if making such a recording is considered legal today, not 5 years ago, so the Mississippi Code is best place to look.
Many states do not update their laws until well after their state Congress adjourns for the year, so let's assume all of that has happened already and the code is current. Which of the 50 titles would you check under to find the relevant laws for the crime you might be committing for recording a police officer, eavesdropping? Do you check "Public Safety and Good Order"? Maybe "Crimes"?
You probably wouldn't look under "Public Health", but that's where you find the article for "Interception of Wire or Oral Communications"(Title 41, Chapter 29 Article 7) aka eavesdropping, sandwiched right between "Other Narcotic Drug Regulations"(Title 41, Chapter 29 Article 5) and, also oddly located, "Pen Register"(Title 41, Chapter 29 Article 9) under the chapter for "Poisons, Drugs and Other Controlled Substances"(Title 41 Chapter 29).
If you don't know exactly what you're looking for and where to find it, locating a specific law can be extremely difficult. While supposedly ordered by topic there are many instances where a law is somewhere you would never expect it to be.
Mississippi's eavesdropping laws are not the only ones out of order – Oklahoma's laws on the same subject are under that state's "Common Carriers"(Title 13) title, which mostly addresses carrying passengers and luggage but changes course entirely after about 170 sections to address communication issues. It's not just this subject either, for example Montana's law allowing openly carrying a weapon(45-3-111) is oddly located in the chapter covering when you may legally kill an intruder or other criminal(Title 45 Chapter 3 Part 1).
If you don't have a handy source providing the most current version of the laws at your fingertips it may be difficult to back up claims that what you are doing is legal if you are challenged. Even if you manage to memorize all the laws that are relevant to your life and know your knowledge is up to date good luck convincing someone else that your memory is accurate, especially if it is in the other person's interests that you're wrong. Only by carrying evidence that you are correct with you can you be assured of the law's protections.

MGM Grand Hotel & casino
The MGM Grand Hotel & Casino requested a bamboo installation that needed to be completed in a very short amount of time. A colleague and I flew to Las Vegas to install the pre-fabricated accents. This structure was the focal point for the Chinese New Year celebration at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.
