Sarajevo is the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina and is located in the Sarajevo Valley of the Bosnia Proper. Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina is surrounded by the Dinaric Alps and situated around the Miljacka River. This is a city famous for its religious diversity including Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism. All these religious have been coexisting side by side for several centuries in Sarajevo.
This is a city rich in history dating back to prehistoric times when the original settlement came to be. The modern city of Sarajevo started as an Ottoman empire stronghold during the 15th century. During 1914 the city was the site of the assassination that began the beginning of World War I. Seventy years later the city played host to the 1984 Olympics. In more recent years Sarajevo underwent the longest siege in modern day military history due to the Bosnian War. Now in a post-war state, the city is recovering and adjusting to life after war and now serves as the major center for culture and economic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Despite the fact that this city is still recovering from war, the people love to celebrate their culture. Two big festivals that take place in Sarajevo are the Sarajevo Film Festival and the Sarajevo Jazz Festival. Other festivals that take place throughout the year include the Sarajevo Winter Festival and the Bašcaršija Nights Festival. The film festival was established in 1995 and is now recognized as the premier film festival in the Balkans. The jazz festival has been entertaining jazz lovers for over 10 years.
Over the past 13 years, the Sarajevo Film Festival has been held at the National Theater, but also offers screenings at the open-air theater, Metalac and at the Bosnian Cultural Center. This festival entertains the people of Sarajevo, its visitors and celebrities alike and has gained international recognition. It is said to be the best film festival in South-Eastern Europe. The Sarajevo Jazz Festival has played host to artists such as Richard Bona, The John Butler Trio, Cristina Branco, Dhafer Youssef as well as several others. The festivities take place on the main stage of the Bosnian Cultural Center.
Festivals aren't the only things to do or see in this city. There are plenty of museums, galleries and theaters including the Ars Aevi Museum of Contemporary Art, Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Sarajevo Youth Theatre and many more. Several of Sarajevo's cultural and religious symbols as well as many institutions were destroyed during the war. Included on the list are the Gazi Husrev-beg library, Sarajevo Oriental Institute and a museum that was built dedicated to the 1984 Olympics. Today the city along with its government has established cultural protection laws and institutions.
Fun Note: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina was the first city in Europe and second city in the world, (next to San Francisco), to have a full time operational electric tram network that runs throughout the city.

I can remember this movie "Field Of Dreams", starring Kevin Costner, about someone who built a baseball stadium in the middle of his cornfield because he heard a voice saying "If you build it they will come." And when he built the field, the ghosts of star baseball players came and played on his field. It was a romantic notion, but uplifting in its way. I can't remember the movie clearly, but it seemed to be about reaching out in faith rather than letting yourself be trapped by dull reality. Okay, so it's not that simple, or we could all change things at will. But sometimes if you step out and try, it will lead somewhere.
I was almost jealous that I hadn't had that idea for a storyline. It works the same for writing. Fiction is fiction, and it may reflect wishful thinking; but if you write about what could be, sometimes other people might take up the idea. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and aroused considerable passion about the issue of slavery.
A British novel "Kes" described a day in the life of a boy who lived in a dysfunctional home, with a negligent mother and no father; and the way every thing that could go wrong, did so. The message, not so original but still true: it is wicked to bully younger children, like the older sibling did in "Kes".
The best approach to writing a novel, a poem, a film or anything is to write about what you feel strongly about. And if you say it, some others might hear it, agree, and be encouraged to hear their own thoughts expressed by someone else. You know you are not alone in thinking and feeling certain things when you hear someone else say the same thing. That is probably why there is a limitless market for songs about love, broken hearts, looking for love, and all that. People feel it so they get help from hearing someone else put it into words. Sometimes, obviously it can be a real 'duh' moment to hear a person stating the obvious and thinking it makes them clever and profound. But still, there is a time and place for saying it, or writing it, and seeing who else thinks the same.

I've seen that movie, too.
I agree about writing on something you feel strongly (or know most about). It makes writing more effective, I think. Although I am not a writer myself, when I do write, I find myself writing about topics I really believe in, or an expert on, or really interested in.

21. Green Bay Packers – Trading For Quarterback John Hadl
Struggling in the post-Vince Lombardi era, Green Bay Packers head coach Dan Devine decided, after the Packer started with a 3-3 record in 1974 , to send 2 first round, 2 second round, and a third round pick in the 1975 NFL Draft and another second round pick in the 1976 NFL Draft to the Los Angeles Rams for 34-year-old quarterback John Hadl.
As you might guess, this trade didn't turn out well for Green Bay. Not only was Hadl a lousy player, but the Packers then went on to win only seven games over the next two seasons. He played 22 games for the Packers and threw 9 touchdowns and 29 interceptions.

At the 2018 show, approximately 12,000 visitors attended. Out of the 195 artists exhibiting, 37 were new to the show. Fourteen of the 37 artists new to the show were juried in under the emerging artist category.
The show uses Juried Art Services (juriedartservices.com) for electronic applications.
Images must be between 1400 and 4000 pixels on the longest side. Refer to the help menu on the Juried Art Services site and review the Application Check List. Contact Juried Art Services directly for technical assistance. To contact them directly: email@example.com .

Each entrant must submit five (5) images for consideration by the jury. Images must be of current work and representative of work entrant plans to exhibit at the show. Do not submit a booth display image. Only one submission per media will be accepted.
To encourage the participation of craft artists who are beginning their careers, an Emerging Artist category is available. At the 2018 Show, fourteen (14) emerging artists participated. This option is open only to those who have been working at their craft for six (6) years or less and who have never exhibited at the Show. The application procedure and fees are the same as above. However, those who check the emerging artist category will be juried in that same category. If you choose to apply as an emerging artist, you must do so exclusively. Those who are accepted will have two booth options: to share a booth with one other emerging artist or pay the special fee of $1,000 for a 10x10 booth space.
November 8-10, 2019, with a Preview Party on November 7.
Move-in starts November 6.
Pennsylvania Convention Center
12th & Arch Streets
Philadelphia, PA 19107
The Show is open to all craft artists who are residents of and working in the United States. All work, whether one of a kind pieces or limited editions, should be well conceived and expertly executed without technical faults; works should be made by hand or with the use of appropriate tools, showing imagination and the mark of the craft artist's individuality.
Categories: basketry, ceramics, fiber, furniture (includes all media), glass, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media, handmade paper, wearables and wood.
Categories not included: calligraphy, fine arts such as painting, photography, lithography, etc., except when incorporated into an otherwise acceptable craft category; candles; dried flower arrangements; pressed flowers; seed and pod decorations; mass produced work, commercially made objects which have been embellished such as bottles, boxes, bowls, eggs, weather boards, stones, shells, buttons, decorated furniture and handmade reproductions. Objects made from commercial kits or commercially available plans are also not acceptable.
Functional and sculptural works where the material used is woven or plaited.
Functional and sculptural work where the primary material is clay.
This category is open to any medium but is exclusive to those who have been working in their medium for six (6) years or less and who have never exhibited at the Show.
Fiber Decorative
Wall hangings, quilts, rugs, etc., where the primary material is fiber.
Fiber Wearable
Work where the primary intention is to be worn and where the primary material is fiber (not including leather).
Work where the primary intention is furniture, including clocks and lamps. All media are included.
Functional and sculptural work where the primary material is glass that has been handformed, handworked, handblown and or handcast.
Work made from materials including 14k gold, 14k gold & precious stones, sterling silver & precious stones, non-precious metals and other materials such as glass, clay, paper, fiber, wood, leather, and polymer clay.

Functional and sculptural work created primarily from handmade paper.
Functional and sculptural work where the primary material is wood.
When choosing media category, allow the function of the work to determine the category rather than the material (i.e. metal furniture should apply in furniture and not in metal). For further information, see media definitions. When preparing images remember it is the majority of work that determines media category. Do not send booth shots (except to illustrate how one particular work is to be displayed). If an individual craft artist wishes to apply in two different media categories, two separate applications using different images must be submitted. If only one application is accepted, only work in that medium may be exhibited. If an individual is working in a variety of styles within one medium, then he or she should submit only one (five images) application reflecting these various styles. If an individual does both one of a kind and production work, for example, images of each kind of work must be shown in the same proportion to be exhibited at the Craft Show. Craft artists working together may apply as one if they collaborate on every piece. If accepted, they may exhibit only pieces that are a part of the collaboration.
Images must be between 1400 and 4000 pixels on the longest side. Refer to the help menu on the Juried Art Services site and review the Application Check List. Contact Juried Art Services directly for technical assistance. To contact them directly: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Email notification will be sent no later than June 3, 2019. The top 195 craft artists will be accepted. There is no quota system for each category, however, the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show reserves the right to create balance for the show. At the same time, 40 plus craft artists will be placed on a Standby Status list and show positions will be offered as they become available.
All correspondence and inquiries should be addressed to:
PMA - Craft Show
Philadelphia Museum of Art
PO Box 7646, Philadelphia, PA 19101
EMAIL firstname.lastname@example.com
In addition to the Best of Show award ($1,500), there are nine (9) cash awards ($1,000 each) for excellence selected and sponsored by foundations, individuals and arts organizations. These awards are presented at the Preview Party.
2018 Award recipients are automatically accepted to the 2019 Show. Award recipients must submit an application and processing fee to participate in this program.
Once the artists have been notified and have responded accordingly, the five (5) images submitted in the application process by each artist will be posted up on the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show website. Please check all information for accuracy including your name as it should appear, address, phone numbers, email address and website.
The Pennsylvania Convention Center is a facility with one large unencumbered exhibition space. There is ample room for booths and large crowds, and it is conveniently located to restaurants, shops and public transportation.

Fernando Burgaz: "Improving the balance in the food chain is our key objective"
Fernando Burgaz, General Director of the Food Industry in an interview for ecomercioagrario.com, published in the magazine ECA OLIVE, has answered several questions about the situation of the agri-food sector.
ECA FRUITS: In short, what balance can you make for the year 2017 for the agri-food sector?
Fernando Burgaz: The year 2017 has been exceptionally productive, with the launching of many initiatives that have meant a qualitative leap for the benefit of the environment and the sectors that we defend from the Ministry. As far as invoicing is concerned, although we do not yet have data corresponding to that year of the Structural Statistics of Industrial Sector Companies of the INE, it can be assumed that the food industry continues to occupy the first place in sales. What shows that we have a consolidated subsector and motor of the Spanish economy that contributes to the creation of employment and the internationalization of our products.
ECA FRUITS: What measures and commitments were carried out during 2017 for the proper functioning of the horticultural sector?
F.B: First of all, I would like to highlight the defense of Law 12/2013 to improve the functioning of the food chain. For this, AICA carried out control programs with the Autonomous Communities, resulting in a total of 922 sanctions in the last four years, of which 287 are from the fruit and vegetable sector.
Likewise, from the MAPAMA, we continue working for the development of the Law of Cooperatives, reinforcing the sectoral integration of the interprofessionals. The improvement in the balance of the different links in the food chain is a key objective in the policy of this Government. So we bet on the development of the Law of Cooperatives. Especially in farmers to be integrated into internationally competitive cooperatives or interprofessionals. The Control Program for products sold at abnormally low prices has also been expanded. And finally, add that we continue to promote the sustainability of our agri-food industry.
We have a consolidated and driving sector of the Spanish economy, contributing to the creation of employment and the internationalization of our products.
ECA FRUITS: Likewise, what have been the commitments for this 2018, also from the European policies?
F.B: As determined in the Commission's Work Program for 2017, the Commission considered necessary action at EU level to address anti-competitive practices caused by the weaker position of farmers and SMEs. In this context the Law of the Chain, has been presented as a "model", to overcome the reluctance of some countries and operators to establish a common regulatory framework, which is expected to be approved this year.
On the other hand, the Ministry collaborates with autonomous governments, conducting campaigns for fruit and vegetable consumption. Like the promotion in tarpaulins and buses with the motto "Fruit and vegetables. From here and now "; the management of School Programs in which students will receive fruit and vegetables worth 14M euros during the 2017-2018 academic year; or the performances of "Mediterraneamos 2018", in which more than 80,000 schoolchildren will participate.
We bet on the development of the Law of Cooperatives so that our farmers are integrated and are more competitive internationally.
ECA FRUITS: Regarding agriculture and ecological industry, in what position is our country and if much remains to be done in this area of production?
F. B: The latest statistical data, corresponding to 2016, indicated that the 2,018,802 hectares were still maintaining, one more year, Spain as the first EU country by total area dedicated to organic production, and the fourth level world.
Although the regulation of Spanish organic production was one of the first three to be established, it is still a young sector compared to conventional systems, so it can be said that there is a long way to go, not only in Spain but worldwide. There is still insufficient internal consumption of organic food despite good statistical data. The sector is still too dispersed today, without strong and concentrated interlocution figures that facilitate its relationship with the Administration.
This is why the Ministry has prepared a Strategy for Ecological Production 2018-2020 that is published on the web. The objectives are to contribute to a better structuring of the ecological sector, support its growth and consolidation, and study the role of organic production in environmental policy and adaptation to climate change.
ECA FRUITS: How will Brexit be addressed from the Ministry?
F.B: Regarding Brexit, there is a shared interest between MAPAMA and the sector because they offer the highest degree of certainty about the conditions to be applied and as soon as possible.
The United Kingdom is a globally deficient country in agri-food products and Spain is a major exporter of these products with a positive trade balance, both in traditional sectors such as fruits and vegetables, and in other products such as olive oil, meat products or the wine and other drinks. Our interest is that this situation is not altered with the departure of the EU from the United Kingdom.

Good morning and happy Monday everyone!
As I was saying yesterday on my Instagram, I love Asian food. Like a lot!
I'm always trying to make up recipes that include soy sauce ;) And some recipes could be so light and nourishing and tasty that I just want to eat them all the time!
One of those recipes is this noodles bowl. It comes with veggies, mushrooms and tempeh – all of them have great health benefits, makes you a satiated without giving up the tastiness!
(makes 2 portions – takes 25 mins – vegan)
- 1 grated carrot
- handful of roughly cut spinach
- 60gr sugar snap peas
- 8 mushrooms (I used the white ones but you can choose the type you prefer)
- 200gr tempeh
- 1 chopped spring onion
- 200gr noodles (I used rice noodles but again you're free to use the type you prefer)
- handful of bean sprouts for each bowl
- sesame oil
- 2tbsp soy sauce or noodle broth
- 2tbsp furikake sesame seeds (optional)
Prepare all the veggies: wash them properly and chop spinach, sugar snap peas, mushrooms and spring onions. Grate the carrot and set aside.
Now chop the raw tempeh in cubes and cook it in a pan with sesame oil at medium heat for 10 minutes, until it's crispy and brown. In the same way cook the mushrooms as well. Once everything is ready, go with the noodles. Follow the indications on the pack of the noodles of your choice. Once cooked, drain them and pour the soy sauce (I actually prefer to use the noodle broth sauce, it's more flavoured and obviously works perfectly with noodles, but if you don't have it go with the soy sauce!) and the furikake sesame seeds.
Add all the veggies you prepared before and get ready for some proper nourishment! :)
Have a good day!

'Sample Box Addicted Mommy' Blogger, Christine and a friend, put Uqora to the test. They found that using Uqora after sex, exercise, and/or when in humid weather proved effective for their active lifestyles.
Excerpts from the "Sample Box Addicted Mommy" blog:
Today I am going to talk about.... urinary track infections.... ew I know. But as gross as it is- it happens. Whether its wet bathing suits during the summer (or all year for us Floridians), working out, anatomy (some girls just get them often) or dare I say ... sexual intercourse.
…I recieved Uqora for free to give it an honest try. It's a Pink Lemonade preventative drink so I figured I would make it ahead of time and keep it nice and cold. For an entire week… I chose to drink it after my mid-day workout, before going into humid weather when returning to work. My "friend" tried it every night before bed, after doing the hibbidy dibbity.
…I was impressed at the taste, I truly expected an intolerable vitamin flavor and it wasn't! My friend who has CONSTANT UTI's has been pretty impressed. She lives on antibiotics and anti-itch creams due to re-occurring urinary track infections. Unfortunately a lot of hers go to her bladder. The fact that she was able to enjoy intercourse without winding up with an infection five days later was AWESOME! In my case I was happy that returning to my exercising didn't bring on my regular infections.
I am going to continue using Uqora... my opinion is that it is good for either people that sweat (like me), swimmers, or as needed after sex.

House A
Walter & Walter
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
House A by WALTER&WALTER – an award-winning residence in the Victorian Architecture Awards for Residential Architecture Houses of 2017.
House A is situated in a suburban landscape and composed of a field of rooms, all of which are in direct dialogue with the sites terrain and surrounding context.
Designed by architect Andrew Walter, director of WALTER&WALTER, this house opens and closes, refocusing the relationship of the house with its suburban context, influencing the formal outcomes, which alter between the public and private realms.
The house sits in an open landscape. A simple facade and massing focuses attention on the house's relationship with its landscape and opens directly to the street disrupting commonly defined boundaries of public and private space in a suburban street. The site is one of an open space, where passers-by can; if they chose to, navigate around the house and experience its settings.
The selective openings in the plan of the house allow moments of porosity for landscapes to inhabit. These different landscape conditions are each unique in response to the orientation of the space. Allowing landscape to coexist with suburban built form. Revitalised relationships have been created between suburban architecture and its natural environment.
Openings in physical barriers, at various scales, reset territorial boundaries creating diverse connections between neighbours and landscapes. The plan then opens-up and closes in an ongoing dialogue with the terrain.
Materiality is a detail often oversimplified or over complicated. A rough sawn timber used for the exterior reveals a native material quality often erased from view. It is this rough and protective boundary that allows for natural variation of the material while also encouraging the visitor to touch with caution.
Moving through the house the texture changes and volumes open-up and collide with open landscaped spaces that punctuate the plan. Opacity makes way for transparency, privacy for openness and inclusion.

While the appearance of blisters may be embarrassing, the pain accompanying them is often much worse and more of a concern for people who have them. Although blisters are a common foot problem experienced by many, have you ever wondered what the cause of those pesky blisters could be? Or, better yet, how they can be treated?
Blisters appear on a swollen part of the foot and consist of fluid, typically clear, though, depending on the blister, the fluid may also have blood. Blisters are usually caused by repeated friction or rubbing on a specific part of your foot. Here are some examples of things that can produce that constant friction:
- The type of footwear and how properly your shoes fit
- Your skin type and foot type (high, low or medium arch)
- The moisture found around your feet
- Heavy objects you may be carrying around, like a bag pack
While blisters are rarely filled with pus, pus can form if the blister is infected. In that case, it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. If you have any of the following symptoms, it's preferable to talk to your doctor:
- Foot Pain
- Soreness
- Redness
- Swelling
While the symptoms may seem common, any persistent pain needs medical attention. Individuals with diabetes need to be especially careful. If left untreated, the blister may turn into an ulcer, leaving you susceptible to an amputation.
Preventive Care Treatments:
There are several precautions you can take to prevent blisters. Here are a few preventative care options:
1. Make sure to wear proper fitting shoes
2. Wear moisture-wicking socks
3. Cushioned insoles are a good idea
4. Double-socks will provide extra cushion
5. Wear orthotics recommended by your podiatrist
6. Use antiperspirants, powders, and lubricants to reduce moisture and friction.
The key to healthy feet is preventative care and referring to your foot doctor whenever you have questions or concerns.
Plantar warts are benign growths that develop on the bottom of your feet, and are caused by direct contact with the human papilloma virus (HPV). This is the same virus that causes warts on other areas of the body. Some people are more susceptible than others to HPV, and not everyone will develop plantar warts if they come into contact with the virus. Individuals with weak immune systems or damaged skin on the feet are at a higher risk for plantar warts.
Plantar warts most often develop on the weight-bearing areas of the foot - the heel or the ball of the foot - causing sharp, burning pain. They can appear as a single wart (solitary) or a cluster of warts (mosaic). Common symptoms may include:
- Pain or discomfort when walking or standing
- Thick, scaly skin that often resembles a callus
- Hard, flat growths with well-defined boundaries
- Tiny black specks (clotted blood vessels) that often appear on the surface of the wart
Most warts disappear with home care and do not require medical treatment. You can take steps to prevent and treat plantar warts, which include:
- Changing your shoes and socks daily
- Keeping your feet clean and dry
- Avoid picking at warts as the virus may spread
- Avoid direct contact with an individual who has plantar warts
- Checking your child's feet periodically
- Refrain from walking barefoot, especially in public areas like showers, swimming pools and locker rooms
- Never ignore skin growths or changes in your skin
You should always seek care from a podiatrist when warts interfere with your daily life, aren't responding to home treatments, or if you have circulatory disorders. Contact us if your warts:
- Change color or shape
- Cause unbearable pain and discomfort
- Interfere with activities
- Multiply or reappear
Without treatment, plantar warts can grow, spread and prompt new warts to grow as fast as the old ones disappear. If you can't confidently identify a growth on your foot, visit your podiatrist to ensure a correct diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment can decrease the risk of the wart spreading and multiplying.

Macchi will take responsibility for heading up the company's sales and marketing activities. She joins Aspiration Group from Silverstone Circuits, where she spent two years as head of sales. She was also previously director of sales at De Vere Hotels and director of sales and marketing at The Belfry, where she worked with Aspiration Group CEO Simon Wordsworth.
Wordsworth said: "We have known Amanda for some time and we have always been impressed with her professionalism and her dedication - and since I worked with her previously she has gained further experience which will be of huge benefit to both her and the Aspiration Group in her new role."
Macchi added: "I thoroughly enjoyed my two years at Silverstone where I was privileged to work with some great people and to broaden my experience at another world-famous venue. But the chance to work with the team at the Aspiration Group - which has such an outstanding reputation and track record - was too good to refuse.
"I'm looking forward to hitting the ground running and will be keen to speak with existing customers and potential clients to see how we can help them, as we look to continue our impressive progress."

United Lobbies Its Unions For Further Concessions
Airline Says Savings Must Reach $2.4 Billion To Tap Financing and Preserve Operations
CHICAGO -- UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy-court protection a week ago and must meet stringent financial conditions imposed by its interim lenders, told its unions Friday it needs to secure agreements on $2.4 billion in annual labor concessions by mid-February, according to one union. That figure significantly eclipses the $1 billion in annual savings the unions earlier agreed to provide in the hope of winning a government bailout and avoiding Chapter 11.
The nation's No. 2 airline told its unions that...

Culture war profiteering
Another bomb has gone off in the culture wars. Gillette, the razor manufacturer, has sparked outrage – OUTRAGE! – with its advert suggesting men can and should do better. It's been watched 19 million times on YouTube, rapidly attracting a million dislikes, as well as half a million likes.
Like it or hate it, people are talking about it. It's generated a huge amount of publicity for Gillette, just like Nike's advert featuring NFL refusenik Colin Kaapernick.
It's a marketing tactic that goes all the way back to Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud and father of public relations. He formulated shocking, attention-grabbing marketing tactics, like arranging a march of suffragettes in New York, who all lit cigarettes at the same time. A press release announced they were lighting 'torches of freedom'. The campaign was intentionally provocative. Bernays obviously didn't really give a damn about the suffragettes. He was making waves, then riding those waves to get attention.
This is what's known as culture war profiteering. War profiteers don't care who's winning, they see any war as an opportunity to make money. The last thing they want is for the war to stop, so they stoke it to continue cashing in.
Piers Morgan understands the game better than most. He obviously weighed in on the major issue of the day – the Gillette advert – declaring it 'the worst ever betrayal of men'. Does he really believe that? It doesn't matter. He seeks confrontations, so the media can report on his 'furious row with Carol Vorderman', or 'Twitter feud with Ariana Grande'. It's the Trump playbook. Provoke outrage. Get attention. Get clicks.
Milo Yiannopolous was a very successful culture war profiteer, for a while. Did he really believe that 'feminism is cancer'? Who cares. It got a lot of attention. And hundreds of thousands of angry online men bought into his stage-managed provocations. Ghostbusters is being re-made with a female cast? Who gives a shit. But any incident can be stoked up by culture war profiteers. Here's a riot, and I'm selling bricks.
Even a well-meaning intellectual like Jordan Peterson can't resist but profit off the culture wars. It's just too easy money. There's the Jordan Peterson who writes earnest but mediocre books like 12 Rules for Living, and there's the online Jordan Peterson, who goes into extraordinary paroxysms about post-modernism and social justice warriors. And it's this latter Jordan Peterson who is truly raking it in.
On the Left, the same rules of the attention economy apply. Hone your message into the most simplistic polarising headline you can. 'Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race'. That will really get the white people talking. Genius.
Politics and culture have become a Punch and Judy show, and internet giants like Google, Facebook and YouTube are the puppeteers. They're the ones who really profit off all this outrage and polarisation. Perhaps they didn't plan it like this. But they created an economy based on attention and clicks, and it rapidly became obvious that the more obnoxious and polarising you are, the more you get clicks. Oh no you don't! Oh yes you do!
It's so easy to get drawn into the Punch and Judy show and find yourself screaming at the puppets.
There is Punch, the great villain of the culture wars – the straight white male.
This week, the American Psychological Association has announced that traditional masculinity – 'marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression—is, on the whole, harmful." It urges therapists to help men "identify how they have been harmed by discrimination against those who are gender nonconforming".
Stoicism is bad? Stoicism inspired the most successful form of therapy we have – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Competitiveness is confined to 'traditional men' and is pathological? What a simplistic, ideological and silly statement. How OUTRAGEOUS! OH NO IT ISN'T!
It's also easy to get triggered by the leftist ideology of intersectionality, in which your moral value is defined by your identity – black is good, white is bad, female is good, male is bad, LGBTQ is good, cis is bad. Black female lesbian is very very good. Straight white male is very very bad. Bad Mr Punch!
Morality is messier than that. I have male friends who've been beaten up by their female partners. I have male friends whose girlfriends got pregnant to try and keep them, and who then used the child as an emotional hostage in their campaign. I have a lot of male friends who happily accept non-traditional gender roles, and embrace being stay-at-home dads.
Yes, male mental health could be better, and male suicide is a problem. But is there really a crisis in male mental health? The statistics suggest the real crisis is in the mental health of women and girls. The rates for hospitalisation for self-harm among teenage girls has gone up 189% in the last decade in the US, and nearly that much in the UK.
Why? Psychologists think it's mainly because of social media. Girls are more socially intelligent than boys, and this natural, biological social sensitivity has been heightened and wrecked by social media. It's not men that's fucking young women up. It's Instagram and Twitter – exactly the technologies that fired up #metoo.
All sides of the culture wars buy their ammo in the same gun shops. We are all being played.
There is a genuine issue with anti-social masculinity, but it's biological as well as cultural. Testosterone makes us men prone to aggression and it makes us horny. One of the main challenges of civilization over the millennia has been what to do about young men when they're at their most aggressive and most horny.
Different cultures cope with this issue in different ways. The West has shifted from a culture of religious prohibition towards a culture of permissiveness and tolerance – creating several outlets for male horniness, such as pornography, prostitution, the toleration of sex before marriage, and the toleration of homosexual sex. I think that's probably worked better than religious prohibition, judging by how Islamic and Hindu men treat women in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh or Rotherham.
What's interesting is the interaction between culture and biology. Apparently, male testosterone levels have been declining for the last thirty years, as muscle men become less necessary for manual labour and war. Our chemistry is evolving in real time in response to cultural changes.
But that is too nuanced to get me any clicks. How's this: THE GILLETTE ADVERT MAKES ME WANT TO SLASH MY WRISTS.

As we age, accidents around the home are a common concern, including burns. Whether or not you need to seek medical help after a burn depends on its severity. Burns are classified according to how deep the damage is.
First Degree Burns
Burns that affect only the outer layer of skin are called first degree burns. The skin is red and sensitive but dry, like a mild sunburn, and indeed sunburn does usually fall into this category. These can be painful but are not serious. If you get a first degree burn run cool water over it for as long as necessary to reduce the pain, but do not use ice, as ice can damage the skin.
Second Degree Burns
In second degree burns several layers of skin are damaged, so the skin will be moist and appear swollen or blistered. The treatment is the same. Run cold water over it. First, though, remove all jewelry in case of possible swelling. You can use mild soap and water to clean the area. If the skin is broken apply a bandage and antibiotic ointment. Change the bandage every day or if it gets wet. Do not use butter, oil, salve, or anything else; these things won't help and could cause infection. In fact, burns can be prone to infection, especially in seniors, and sometimes serious second degree burns can progress to third degree, so if you are concerned about the burn have it looked at by a professional.
Third Degree Burns
In third degree burns all the layers of skin are affected, and possibly underlying tissue. The burn will be dry and appear white or charred black, and sometimes it breaks open. It may not hurt, because the nerves are dead. Call for emergency treatment immediately. In the meantime, have the victim lie down to prevent shock. Cover the burn with a clean cloth but do not apply anything to it.
Chemical Burns
These may be red, blistered, or blackened depending on the chemical. The chemical may also affect the eyes and the lungs. If these are not too serious they can be flushed with water; otherwise medical help is needed.
Electrical Burns
Electrical burns caused by electric shock may not look serious but there may be internal damage. Don't approach the victim unless the electrical source has been neutralized and you are sure it is safe. Have the victim lie down and raise their legs slightly. Cover them to keep them warm and cover the burn with a clean cloth. Get medical help.

Persona (1966)
Director: Ingmar Bergman
Writer: Ingmar Bergman
Actors: Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Margaretha Krook
I started my journey with films back in 2010. Obviously back then I did not know much, and I am still learning to this day. However, back then, I had nothing to go on, and didn't know why certain films were considered "great". All I did was go to lists and try to watch the films that everyone was saying is good. I remember back in 2010 or 2011 I watched Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" (1957). After watching it, I did not know why it was considered good, or what made it a classic. However, I promised myself that one day I will get back to Bergman after I have learned more about film. Well, its been almost 8 years and I felt confident enough to watch something by him again. The reason I chose Persona is literally because of the first scene with the kid on the bed. I was just checking to see the footage quality and saw that shot, and I knew I wanted to watch this film. What happened in the next hour and a half was something I will never forget. If you enjoy surrealist films that elicit a strange emotion, then stop reading this review and watch the film. If you saw my score at the bottom you will know why.
Persona revolves around two women, a naiive nurse and a mute actress. Alma, the nurse, has been assigned to treat Elisabet, an actress who has suddenly decided not to talk. Her mental and physical health seem normal, so no one knows why she has suddenly decided to stop talking. Nevertheless the plot starts to kick in when The Doctor suggests Alma take Elisabet to her summer house by the beach in order to get her out of the constricting environment of the hospital. When they arrive at the summer house you can see the film and the characters start to develop very quickly. Alma, who is a very quiet and naiive nurse has never been able to fully express herself. She seems like the person who always keeps to herself. Now, she is in the presence of a woman who is refusing to talk. Ironically that woman is an actress who is used to people hearing what she has to say and what she expresses. So each character has now taken on the "persona" of the other. The actress is now sort of like the nurse, becoming somewhat of a carer by listening to what Alma has to say. At first the conversations are tame, and they don't amount to much. However, that quickly changes as Alma begins to feel more comfortable around Elisabet. She starts revealing very personal incidents in her life. The big story was when she told her about the time she cheated on her husband and subsequently went to have an abortion. This entire scene was so overwhelming to watch. Overwhelming is a point that I will get back to later, but for now, this entire dialogue gave me that feeling. Maybe it was the way it was shot or the way she was talking about it. It all came in and hit me like a truck. After that night things changed, and it kicks the film into its second act.
Before delving into the second act, I want to talk about the very beginning. The film starts with a couple of seemingly random scenes that have nothing to do with the actual film. However, from my interpretation they have everything to do with the film. At the beginning we see flashes of images, and afterwards we see a child on a flat surface laying down. He gets up and stares at a screen, which we the audience can tell that it is a woman, but we don't know who it exactly is since it is blurry. After that the film begins. I can't thoroughly analyze this film with the first viewing, but I feeling like the child indicates Alma's aborted fetus. However, I don't really know where to go with that theory since I don't have much to go one with one viewing. Nevertheless, back to the plot. After revealing that information to Elisabet, life seemingly moves on as normal. Until the big turning point in the film, when Elisabet writes a letter to her doctor that she asks Alma to deliver. Alma's curiousity gets the best of her and she ultimately reads it. Which to her surprise, she finds out that Elisabet revealed the personal story to The Doctor and also talks about Alma as sort of a test subject. As if she is trying to learn certain things about people to help her acting in the future. Obviously she gets mad and then we get the broken glass scene. This is the major turning point in the film since the "personas" will now switch again. This is why we get the distorted imagery and again a lot of the surrealist clips and image flashes we saw at the beginning. This signals the turning point and the subsequent downfall of the relationship.
What happens after the distortion is again, very overwhelming. I keep using this word because it is the best word I can use to describe the feeling this film gave me. It was such a strange experience, and one that I will never forget. The fallout happens after revealing she read the letter then many strange things happen in the film. The strangest being when Alma, goes into Elisabet's room while she is sleeping, then Elisabet's husband arrives. He thinks that Alma is his wife for some reason, even though Elisabet is standing right there. This whole sequence felt odd, which is why the only reason I could begin to explain it was that it was a dream. The way that it all happened at night, it had sort of this dreamlike sense to it. Again, I can't really confirm this theory since I only watched the film once. Hopefully with multiple viewings these scenes will become more clear. Anyway, now comes what I can only describe as, the most unique dialogue scene I have ever seen. This scene, is just incredibly executed and so unique. I have seen so many films in my life, however I have never seen something quite like this. The scene starts out with the camera focusing on Elisabet as Alma talks. She is talking about Elisabet, sort of an analysis of her personality and the reason for her neglecting her child. The whole scene is in one take, and you only see Elisabet. Here we see her reacting with a multitude of emotions. She is sad, in shock, confused, and many more throughout the whole conversation. Now, here is what the film does that is so unique. After Alma finishes, the film doesn't move on, it cuts to a shot of Alma as she says the whole thing over again. She isn't repeating herself, its just we are now seeing Alma as she gave the speech and how she is. I have never seen this done in a film and it just made so much sense with regards to what the film was going for. Alma, unlike Elisabet is calm and collected throughout her speech and she doesn't display any emotion. This scene is the most important in the entire film in my opinion, because here we get the actual "personas" of each character. As the second take finishes, both of their faces meld into one, which again overwhelmed me. Furthermore, both of them are wearing the exact same clothes throughout this scene which might indicate something, but again, I can't be sure with one viewing. Nevertheless, this scene was just incredible, and I have never seen anything like this in my entire life.
Now that I have sort of dissected most of the film. To be frank I can go on and on about every little detail, but that would make this review over 20 pages long. I want to focus now on the feeling that this film gave me. As you know I have been repeating the word "overwhelming" over and over again throughout this review. My favorite thing about films is when one is able to elicit a feeling or emotion that I have never felt before. It is the tipping point between a brilliant film, and a perfect film for me. This film gave me this feeling of being overwhelmed. Everything about it just made me feel this sensation of being hit by so many emotions and feelings. Due to me being invested in the characters, everything they went through just affected me so much. This is also coupled with the fact that the film is riddled with so many details that have a much deeper meaning. All of these aspects are just constantly being thrown at you, that once I was done with this film, I had to take a breather. I just laid on my bed trying to deflate after that whole experience. Me typing this review is bringing back those feelings and I've had to take multiple breaks while writing. Obviously not every person who watches this film will have this experience. But personally, I just felt every bit of detail and emotion that the film gave out and it just came at me like a huge wave that buried me instantly. The weird thing is, I loved every second of it.
Before concluding this review, I want to take the time to talk about some of the technical aspects of this film. Because not only does this film excel in its plot, it basically excels in ever other aspect. First of all, the camera work is absolutely stunning. I have nothing bad to say about this aspect of the film. Every shot was perfect. One of the most memorable shots was following Alma as she is running to Elisabet trying to apologize for getting mad at her. The whole sequence was so beautiful to watch, and was all done in one take. Another aspect I loved about the film was the lighting. I think it was the perfect choice to have this film be in Black and White. It added so much to the overall tone that the director was going for. This coupled with the brilliant lighting and beautiful camera work made this film an incredible visual experience. Finally, I want to talk about the acting. Both Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann did a wonderful job with their roles. Liv was able to show so much emotion even though she was limited by the fact that she wasn't able to say a word. Bibi as well was incredible as Alma, the way she carried her conversations was so mesmerizing, and it was one of the main contributing factors for the effectiveness of this film. All in all, in terms of the technical aspects, this film ticks every single box.
What makes a perfect film? Naturally a perfect film is one that would execute every aspect flawlessly. The acting, cinematography, soundtrack...etc all have to blend in to create a perfect film. However, personally that doesn't make a film perfect in my eyes. For me, I also require a film to have something extra. That extra something is an experience that I have never felt before, or a strange emotion the film managed to elicit. To me, a film is a 10 when it is able to flawlessly execute the technical aspects, along with providing me with that unique experience. For example, There Will Be Blood, a 10 in my opinion, gave me an experience of tension that I have never felt in my entire life. Another film, Secret Sunshine, made me feel "uncomfortable" throughout, which I had never experienced. There are a few more films but I won't get into all of them. I am happy to say that after 3 years of not watching a 10, Persona (1966) enters that elite club of films. It did everything flawlessly along with giving me an experience that I will never forget. And that's why it is a perfect film.
Perfect Film

Bait was the ticket last week and should continue to be the same this week. Try a 6 inch plug or spoon to get through the smaller fish. Water conditions this week are looking the best we have had since the season began.

Motorcycling around Bantayan Island in northern Cebu without a map—and street signs for that matter—brought us to this corner tucked away from the resorts. Around it are several other houses as well, most likely of expats (there is a lot of them in this island).
We also spotted several foreigners on motorcycles stopping by this cliffside spot to take in the view (we were also coming and going for a whole day for lack of anywhere else to go). It's a good spot to see the sunset as well, and the waters below it looked perfect for swimming.
Too bad this house fell into disrepair (we could not remember exactly what we were told—the expat owner either died or left for good, and no one has looked after the house since). That said, we're glad we could share in the space.

Healthcare Innovation: What is it solving?
Datica Alumni — Former Chief Marketing Officer
Innovation in healthcare starts with the reputable intent to promote optimal quality and value of care to patients, providers, insurers, and employers. A few macro level initiatives of innovation include being able to scale the business by creating constant opportunity, shifting from a fee-for-service model, managing cost of care, and providing a framework needed to support the operational and legal backends. These innovative measures face many challenges though. The core two being: 1) Managing the total cost of care budgets by managing risk contracts and delivering the right care at the right time; and 2) Improving quality while effectively earning revenue.
Even today's healthcare technology has challenges to effectively assist in innovation. There are intrinsic complexities of sharing data in a system of minimal interoperability, such as the limitations in progressing information through the care process. Clinical integration also becomes a matter in question when limited access to data (EHRs) is provided, the user experience for care management is incommodious, or there is inadequate access to the claims data.
With these limitations on the business and technology factions of healthcare systems, there are new call to actions (CTA) that healthcare innovation and new technologies are aiming to solve.
CTA #1: An ACO care record that advances with patients to their care destination.
Healthcare systems mandate a fully integrated health information environment that can be accessible across the comprehensive care continuum. This requires a connected ACO community that surpasses the mere needs of interoperability and necessitates a cloud-based health insurance exchange for complete data capture of the patient experience regardless of the site of care.
CTA #2: All-inclusive physician performance coverage.
Physicians and healthcare providers are immersed in patient care but cannot do it all on their own. Physicians are seeking a reporting system that can show performance metrics, high-risk patients, coding improvements, prescription status, patient rosters, gaps in care, and predictive analysis to suggest interventions.

If you like it, then enter your payment info. If not, cancel any time during the free trial. The software will stop working after the 30-day free trial period ends.
One Reason Not to Download the Free Version:
Like the free version of TurboTax, the Quickbooks free trial comes with one potential drawback. When you initially use a coupon and have the option to buy at up to a 50% discount or to use the free trial. If you choose to buy, you may get a better price than the purchase price after the free trial ends.
Because Quickbooks is a monthly subscription, that discount can end up being significant over the course the 3 or 6 month promotion. My advice is to only choose the free trial version if you are undecided. If you know that you want to use Quickbooks for at least 2 months, then jump on the chance to lock in the discount price!

Why C-FIT ?
C-FIT supplements offer major advantages over other supplement companies when it comes to heart, muscle, immune system, skin, and overall health. The MEGA dose of vitamin C (3500%-4000% more per dose than the RDA) in perfect combination with the bountiful amounts of lysine and proline in every C-FIT product helps to protect your arteries and overall cell composition from chronic/low grade scurvy, which can lead to a multitude of health issues, including heart disease. Research has shown that taking mega doses of vitamin C can help your skin stay young and glowing and also protect against the harmful effects of sun radiation. In addition, studies now show that taking mega vitamin C can lead to a pronounced loss of fat compared to those that don't take vitamin C.
This is the best of both worlds as C-FIT gives you all of the energy, stamina, and recovery you want in fitness supplements, along with the extra nourishment your body needs for long-term health.

I really believe in supporting children to develop their imagination and tools to help them do so really interest me. Storytelling ideas generally abound in our house once we get our mojo going.
I also love these story cubes you can make yourself from Red Ted Art's blog that can inspire stories to be told.
This new story prompter also helps children create their own imaginary world and I think it looks great
Create-A-World is a fun, colorful, and innovative game has just launched in the UK . This wonderful multipurpose imagination game provides an endless range of playing options and ideas, making it easy for children to express their thoughts and act out stories.
It includes 60 colorful, handmade playing pieces made from high-quality felt. The pieces include: animals, vehicles, fairy-tale characters, and many, many more. Children can combine their favourites to make scenes such as crocodiles climbing trees and princesses driving tractors, the possibilities are endless!!
The game is fun for for both boys and girls and allows children to play independently or with friends, there are no rules or boundaries! You can even save space by hanging it from their bedroom wall as a unique and ever-changing decoration. That sounds great to me I have run out of storage.
From a good value perspective this could last a very long time in terms of entertainment value, is suitable for both children and is not easy to break. It's RRP is £49.99
I do think I may have to put this on my amazon wish list….!
Create-A-World retails at £49.95 and is available from Amazon.co.uk

This is a genuine call for information. You all know where this place is, nestled into the fabric of Hamra between Le Beirut and Bricks. There is always on old man sitting outside on a chair who says 'Hi'. The door is always ajar, but never open. Dim red light is always seeping out into the street like gunge from a wound. Everything about the place screams 'whore house' at the top of its nicotine ruined lungs.
Now I know I have developed a small reputation, fighting with cab drivers, sticking my arm down toilets and posting incongruous sex listings on Craigslist, but I have to level with you and be honest. As much as I want to check this place out, I have never been into G Bar.
Reason? I am too scared.
I popped my head in the door once. Sitting on the bar was an enormously obese woman with surgically enhanced lips that looked like sausage skin filled with too much miscellaneous meat. She stared at me like a sea creature I had discovered under a rock. I didn't even get a look around the place, I just ran away.
I want to go back though, but not to have sex with rancid sea creatures. My plan is to go in, dressed up like a tourist, with a map and money bag, and ask to see the wine list. Of course I will never do this, I don't want to end up chained to a radiator with a manoushe stuffed in my mouth.
But someone, somewhere must have been in there.
Anyone care to enlighten me?
I won't tell your mothers. Honestly…

Fifteen generations have filled the Hall with treasures, from magnificent carvings commissioned when the Hall was built to French Impressionist paintings, contemporary furniture, tapestries and other modern artwork in recent years. It is surrounded by beautiful grounds. Simon Jenkins, author of England's Thousand Best Houses, described Burton Agnes Hall as 'the perfect English house' and as one of the twenty best English houses alongside Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and Chatsworth House.

5K draws all ages to fight fatal childhood disease
Runners of all ages turned out May 7 at Harris Road Middle School in Concord for the fifth annual Our Boys 5K, held in honor of two Concord brothers who have Batten Disease.
Chris and Wendy Hawkins of Concord organize the event yearly to raise money for the Batten Disease Support and Research Association.
Their sons, Jeremy, 9, and Brandon, 13, were diagnosed with juvenile Batten Disease in 2006. The disease causes mental impairment, seizures and eventual loss of sight and motor skills. Children with the disease generally don't live past their teens or early 20s.
This year's event attracted 207 participants and raised about $8,000. There also was a one-mile fun run, and the Hawkins family was on hand.
The brothers enjoy school and have some great friends and classmates who have supported them, their parents say on a website where they offer updates on their sons: ourboysjourney.wordpress.com/.
They enjoy playing VIP soccer with other children with disabilities on Sunday afternoons in the spring and fall. They love to play with the family's dogs, Cubby and Comanche, "to the point that the dogs just roll their eyes when they see the boys coming," the Hawkinses say.
Brandon's eyesight is almost gone. He tires easily but still tries to keep up with his activities, his parents say. His favorite pursuits are playing with his Beyblades tops and toys, playing Pokémon on his Nintendo DS, listening to audiobooks including Percy Jackson and the Bartimaeus trilogy, and watching cartoons.
Jeremy is still quite active, his parents say, although his sight, too, is quickly deteriorating. He enjoys playing Pokémon on his DS, listening to audiobooks and hanging out with his friend Cam.
Another event in honor of the brothers will take place in Davidson in June: The 24-hour Loopy 4 a Cause.
Family friend Jeff McGonnell of Davidson, a longtime marathon runner, will run continuously on the Davidson Town Green, at South Main Street and Davidson-Concord Road, from 11 a.m. June 4 to 11 a.m. June 5 to raise money for the Batten Disease Support and Research Association .
"For the right donation, I'll run in a dress juggling pineapples and whistling pop tunes," he said. "There will be costumes and props to wear or pay me to wear, and anyone can join in on a few loops of the run for a small donation."

Due to their tridimensional structure the INNOCELL cellulose fibres maintain a high viscosity of bitumen thus preventing bitumen flowing and binder drainage at high temperatures, during storage, transportation and application. At the same time the fibres ensure a thicker bitumen layer around mineral aggregate particles thus preventing oxidising, humidity penetration and aggregate ascension or cracking.
The manufacturing process of Innocell range of products is based on the new turbine technology that protects the original fibre structure better than any other conventional technology, the main advantages being the low dust content and the high level of uniformity of the fibres.
Depending on the type asphalt plant there can be used natural cellulose fibres Innocell F3000, for continuous flow plants, or Innocell FG3000 for asphalt mixing plants. The micro-granules' advantage is the quick distribution during dry mixing. Micro-granules are easily and safely releasing the Innocell fibres in a way that improves the efficiency and the quality of MASF production.

Grand Ole Opry Star, Jeannie Seely comes to Liberty Hall with Dion Pride and Moore & Moore! Jeannie Seely recently celebrated 50-years as a member of the world-famous Grand Ole Opry. Known as "Miss Country Soul," her 1966 number-one hit "Don't Touch Me" stayed on the charts for five months. The song opened many doors for her and she became a member of the Porter Waggoner TV show. With a successful breakthrough hit, Jeannie found herself traveling from coast to coast for concert appearances. The new demands forced her to leave Porter Wagoner's show - and today Jeannie jokes that she was replaced by Dolly Parton because Dolly's 'hits' were bigger!
Opening acts: Dion Pride and Moore & Moore

"We are all excited—and at the same time scared—
because this project is of a bigger order of magnitude
than anything we have done so far."
Small Talk
Each day, write down
all the things you
have to do. When
you have done them,
delete them—that's
the best feeling.
Listen to others.
Best book you've
read recently?
Aztec, a novel by Gary
Jennings. It's about
somebody who never
gives up.
Dream travel
Sailing in the
Mediterranean Sea
without a destination
holders. I listen to my colleagues before making a
decision, and try to make clear they can express
their opinions and that my decision will be based
on having listened to them—even if sometimes it is
completely different from their wishes.
Who are the stakeholders you're managing?
It's a huge community, thousands of astronomers
from the 14 ESO member states. There are the engineers. There are financial stakeholders. And then
there are the delegates from each member state. ESO
receives money from its member states, and member
states expect a return on that outlay. When issuing
contracts, we have to take into account the geographical return of money to the various member states.
Computational tools can simulate the performance
of the telescope in sophisticated ways. These tools
simulate aging, gravity, thermal deformation and
optical performances. We also produced prototypes
of the critical components of the system—in particular, components that have never been used in
the past. We didn't implement things that were not
fully tested in a climatic chamber simulating conditions on the Cerro Armazones mountain in the
Atacama Desert. These include an altitude of 3,000
meters ( 9,843 feet), strong ozone, strong radiation
and extreme dryness.
The primary mirror will be composed of 798
hexagonal segments, each around 1. 4 meters ( 4. 6
feet) wide. All of them have to be phased to each
other as if they form one single optical surface.
So we need to place them just a few nanometersfrom each other. We also need to maintain thereflectivity surface—a challenge because dust willbe deposited on the surface of the mirror and thereflective coating will age. From lessons learned atParanal Observatory, which is only 25 kilometers( 16 miles) away, we know that we need to removethe old reflectivity material and replace it with anew one every 18 months to maintain the opticalquality. So every single day, we will remove twoof the 798 segments of the telescope, bring themdown to the washing and coating unit, and replacethem with fresh segments.
The project will take 10 years to complete.
What difficulties does that timeline present?
Keeping all the requirements under control. There
are requirements that affect other requirements, so if
I have a requirement on the mount of the telescope,
this affects another requirement on the primary mirror. There are thousands of them. So the question is,
How do we keep them under control? We do that
by putting all the requirements in a database and
linking them to each other. This is done by several
people who understand each system. So in the future,
if a contractor asks for a change, we can quite easily
identify what else will be affected.
The mountain is really in the middle of nowhere.
The closest inhabitants are more than 120 kilometers (75 miles) away. There is no road, no electricity,
no cellular coverage—nothing at all. We exploded
something like 5,000 cubic meters (177,000 cubic
feet) of rocks. I was really happy, very touched by
the fact that we were starting to prepare a platform
to look several billions of years into the past. It's
exciting to be part of that. PM

Jose Rizal
One only dies once and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again.Jose Rizal
Most of us are cognizant about the life Jose Rizal lived. I don't think it is still relevant to provide a brief of his life and accomplishments, like I usually do. I agree in most of his ways specifically his own method of revolting against the Filipino oppressors. He focused on educating the people. He used a pen, not a gun, to galvanize people to take action. He knew that he was going to die given the strength and the power of the enemy but his love for his country and the people was stronger than his fear. He did not die in vain. His death was his most poignant message to all of us. His death motivated Filipinos to do more in defending the land.
A strong legacy is what us leaders must aim for. We don't measure our success by the money we earn from the title but by how many people we have helped to become the best they can be. How many of your people live and teach the key lessons they learned from you? We don't need to wait until we are nearing the end of our life to straighten up our reckless actions. In whatever stage or phase of life you are at, you can already make a difference in the lives of others. We don't use a sharp tongue or an iron fist to influence our people. We educate them on why it's necessary to do what we are teaching them to do.
Attributes: Great Communicator, Passionate, Fearless
