Uber is making Portland the first U.S. site for a program intended to add hundreds of electric-vehicle drivers to its ranks, the ride-hailing company announced Wednesday.
"We're launching this initiative in Portland because the city and the state of Oregon are national leaders in the transition to clean energy, fuels and vehicles," the company's general manager for Oregon, Bryce Bennett, said in a media release.
The program is set to kick off with a Wednesday event at the World Trade Center, near a Portland General Electric row of "Electric Avenue" charging stations often used by Uber drivers.
Uber isn't the first big company to promote electrics in Portland. Daimler's Car2go once had electrics in its Portland fleet, adding 30 in 2012, though it later phased them out, citing a lack of charging infrastructure.
But then this past December, BMW's ReachNow car-rental service added 30 i3 electrics here.
Uber has steered over and around a variety of PR potholes in recent months, but it brought together several organizations and companies on the Portland EV program.
Leading the way is Drive Oregon, which is morphing from a state-sponsored EV-industry support initiative to a self-supporting nonprofit with a wider regional focus on cutting-edge mobility – and, in a matter of weeks, a new name, "Forth."
"This is exactly the kind of public/private partnership that we need," the group's executive director, Jeff Allen, said in a statement. Allen said the Uber program will "quickly spark a major boost in electric cars on Portland's streets, clean up our air, and expose thousands more people to this great technology."
One way that could happen, Uber said, is through an aspect of the program called EV Ambassadors, in which Uber will incentivize drivers to "help educate riders" about the virtues of EVs. The company will also try to get more drivers behind the wheel of EVs through its Xchange Leasing arm.
Uber said about 100 of its approximately 6,000 drivers in the Portland area now use electric vehicles.
Another partnership is intended to make Cynergy E-Bikes available for rent or lease to people who do UberEATS deliveries.
The company said the Portland program is "loosely modeled" on one the company began last year in London.
Other partners in Portland include the Black Parent Initiative, Eugene-based EV startup Arcimoto and the Oregon League of Conservation Voters.

SuperSport has issued a statement on behalf of three presenters who were involved in a disagreement which led to Ashwin Willemse accusing Nick Mallet and Naas Botha of undermining him and walking off the live rugby broadcast set on Saturday.
In the statement, the broadcaster says the former Springbok player and rugby analyst is pleased with the company's investigation into the incident which saw him accuse his colleagues who played rugby during apartheid of patronising him.
READ: Eusebius: 'I think the CEOs of MultiChoice and Supersport were pathetic'
SuperSport management met with Willemse, Nick Mallett and Naas Botha on Monday.
Speaking to Ray White on The Midday Report, EWN Sport Reporter Philasande Sixaba said that he thinks there are finer nuances of underlining race issues within this whole situation.
Also read: 'Business as usual' following Willemse walk-out says SuperSport
I don't think that Naas Botha or Nick Mallet actually made racial slurs to Ashwin Willemse but I think the patronising part comes from maybe them undermining his tactical knowledge, his knowledge about the game or his belonging within the rugby sphere.— Philasande Sixaba, EWN Sport Reporter
There are probably definitely a lot of complexities within this situation. So Calvo Mawela the CEO of MultiChoice as well as Gideon Khobane the CEO of SuperSport said that there are deep lying issues that they still need to investigate.— Philasande Sixaba, EWN Sport Reporter

Brian has a pretty simple explaination and a great outlook for first time buyers on how to approach home ownership for the long range! Enjoy it as I did!
Here's some advice that I always give to my clients. It usually turns out to be true.
"Your Third House is Your Dream House"
Your 1st House is the one that helps you stop renting. Your 1st House transitions you into being a homeowner. Your 1st House helps you start building equity. Your 1st House gets you into the market.
Your 2nd House is for when you're ready to move up. You buy your 2nd House when your family is getting larger, you've got a job promotion, etc. You need more room and can afford more house -- that's your 2nd House.
Your 3rd House is Your Dream House. You've arrived. This is the house you've always wanted. You're gonna stay here for a while. Maybe forever.
Some of my clients skip the 1st House and go right to the 2nd House.
I joke around with first time buyers and tell them that one day while I'm driving around the million dollar homes in McLean, I'm going to call them and say "Hey, I found your 3rd House. Now we just have to wait 15 years until you're ready to buy it."
Are you ready to buy your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd House? I'll be happy to help in any case.

Marking exactly two weeks to the day of the start of a prolonged hostage situation in Armenia, the remaining gunmen finally surrendered on Sunday, 31 July. Although the hostage standoff escalated steadily over the course of the past two weeks, with clashes between police and civilians gathered in support of the gunmen who seized a police station, the surrender of the gunmen does not necessarily mean an end to the deep discontent and dissent that the incident triggered.
While the crisis began as a criminal act by a small, radical and fringe opposition group with little popular support, the incident has sparked a deeper and more divisive confrontation driven by a combination of serious discontent within the country and a sense of accumulated frustration with an unpopular government.
In the broader context, the well-armed gunmen aligned with a radical opposition group were successful in serving as a catalyst for an outpouring of public protest and frustration, for several reasons.
First, for many ordinary citizens with little or no allegiance to the gunmen or their political group, this crisis represents an opportunity to stand against the "arrogance of power" and culture of impunity that has tainted the police and the government which is serves. In this way, the real hostage crisis is more serious, and relates to the general feeling that the Armenian population is being held hostage to the corruption within the government and the record of falsified elections over the past several years. And this is only exacerbated by a sense of outrage over widening disparities in wealth and power that has come to divide the country.
A second underlying driver for this dissent and discontent stems from the over-reaction of the police, which have responded to this crisis with a sweeping crackdown, including reckless assaults targeting journalists, and pattern of arbitrary mass arrests of civic activists with little to ties or connection to the gunmen or marginal political group responsible for this incident. Thus, the real key to the security and stability of the country lies in the hands of the state itself, with a real risk of a paranoia and overly harsh response that will only deepen divisions and drive discontent in Armenia.
But there is a third underlying factor that has exacerbated the situation. More specifically, the new sense of insecurity and pronounced perception of fear over concessions by the Armenian government over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have heightened the intensity of the protests. And in the wake of the serious Azerbaijani military offensive that succeed in retaking a small but significant amount of Armenian-held territory, this degree of fear, vulnerability and weakness represents a new phase in public opinion. And this is only increased by the lack of information on the Karabakh peace process itself, thereby promoting a tendency for misinformation or even disinformation over the central yet sensitive issue.
Moreover, this was an act of outright desperation, but more importantly, reflected a serious error by the gunmen in expecting their seizure of a police station to become a trigger for a serious uprising or rebellion by the Armenian public at large. The gunmen are comprised of members and supporters of a small, fringe, yet radical, political opposition organization known for its hard-line policies over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Their demands are both unrealistic and unattainable, as they call for both the immediate release of all "political prisoners," including their jailed leader, and the resignation of incumbent President Serzh Sarkisian.
Yet this crisis was not that surprising, and can be seen as inevitable, given the backdrop of a demonstrably deep division and pronounced polarization of Armenian politics. While this is no way justifies the criminal acts of the gunmen in the current crisis, this backdrop serves to magnify their desperation. Moreover, although the takeover of the police station is in itself a criminal act of desperation, there are undeniable political overtones to the crisis. The now commonly used and abused use of pre-trial detention and questionable moves by the Armenian authorities against the opposition group's leader tended to undercut the standing of the government. And a demonstrable "political paranoia" within the country's ruling elite has only fostered an inherently dangerous record of over-reaction by police, with the targeting of far too many civic activists and political opponents well beyond any real threat.
Yet the criminal actions by this group have only reinforced the weakness of the Armenian government. And the public response is rooted less in any direct support or allegiance for the fringe group involved in the hostage standoff, but stems more from a general degree of outrage driven by a deepening sense of frustration over entrenched corruption, consistently flawed elections, and a plausible perception of the government's "arrogance of power." Yet dangerously, neither the police nor the government understands the underlying context and is acting from a position of weakness, not strength, rooted in insecurity and a lack of confidence.
Regardless of the fact that the hostage standoff has now ended, the crisis will have serious repercussions for both domestic politics and the standing of the Armenian government. Despite the obvious demise of apathy, the lack of popular support for the government and the economic and political drivers of discontent, the current situation in Armenia is not a "revolutionary moment." The marginal standing of the gunmen, and the fact that the country's traditional opposition political parties remain largely discredited and equally unpopular, makes any risk of a sudden rebellion or national uprising unlikely.
Yet, the outlook for stability in the country largely depends on whether the Armenian government is able to heed the warning signs and embrace the necessity for real reform. But with an obvious end to apathy, Armenian civic activists are no longer content with the egregious levels of corruption and authoritarian rule. The key actor to watch, however, is not only the youth as an "agent for change," but the emerging new political opposition, as evident in the mediating role of opposition parliamentarian Nikol Pashinyan, one of the leaders of the opposition "Civil Contract" political party, who was the only person accepted by all sides as an interlocutor during this crisis. Pashinyan was able to open personal negotiations with the hostage takers, seeking to persuade them of the futility of their actions and urging them to surrender. This also magnifies the incompetence or incapacity of the government itself to adequately respond to this crisis.

However she does spend a lot of time running, climbing up on and over everything and navigating the stairs on her own – while I try not to have an anxiety attack.
We have made it a purpose since her birth to keep her out of restrictive devices and to constantly challenge her muscles.
And while we highly value physical fitness – and wouldn't mind breeding an olympic athlete – we know that her core strength is directly related to her overall health, cognition and success in school.
What does core strength have to do with handwriting?
Fine motor skill development is only possible if core strength and stability is present.
In order to effectively control arm movement, a child must already have proper muscle tone and stability in her trunk. Once this strong, solid base is established, the arm and hand are free to make the precise, coordinated movements need for drawing, cutting and writing.
Angela Hanscom, an OT and founder of TimberNook (a nature program in New England that helps kids remediate sensory and behavioral issues through outdoor play), agrees:
In order to have good fine motor skills, you really need a strong sense of body awareness and overall strength in order to support more fine motor work. – Angela Hanscom, MOT, OTR/L
So should all kids go to occupational therapy (OT) now to build their core so they have nice handwriting? Is it just trendy or are there actually more kids who need OT these days?
Let's all go to OT!
I would be surprised today if you don't know a kid, teach a kid or have a kid that is receiving occupational therapy services – who doesn't have special needs.
Are there more kids with fine motor, core, balance and sensory issues today?
Do children really need that much more help with handwriting than 25 years ago?
Pediatric occupational and physical therapists all seem to agree that number of children receiving services has increased significantly in the last 25 years.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for pediatric OT's looks good! The need for these professionals is expected to increase by 33% between 2010 and 2020.
OT's used to mainly serve students with severe disabilities such as cerebral palsy; however, today many students are going for therapy who need help holding their pencil correctly and struggle with handwriting issues.
Angela Hanscom thinks that today's children definitely need help. At one school Angela worked with, she found that most children in the classrooms tested had poor core strength and balance.
When she compared this to data from the 1980's she discovered that only 1 in 12 kids in these current classrooms had normal core strength and balance.
And these were all typical classrooms – they did not have a higher proportion of students with special needs.
Who needs a fidget toy?
As an early childhood teacher, I would recommend at least a couple students every year get evaluated by an OT – and have at least one or two students already receiving services when entering Kindergarten.
I love working with diverse learners and have pulled out tons of different accommodations for my students:
- weighted lap blankets
- bumpy cushions
- small balls of wax as fidget toys
- silky ribbons for sensory seekers
- water bottlers / gum
- movement and song breaks
- Brain Gym to work on crossing the midline
…the list goes on and on.
I don't think I am spoiling my students. They really need these things and I see the benefit. So why can't they just sit there and learn like the good old days with nuns and rulers?
I can't help but think that something more is going on. The consensus seems to be that it's a combination of the type of lifestyle our kids lead these days and growing demands and pressures of the classroom from an early age.
Unfortunately, despite how pressing this issue seems to be, little information is being shared with educators and parents about the importance of gross and fine motor development and the consequences of it not being up to par.
Ditch the expensive gadgets & toss your baby on the floor.
Bumbos, bouncy seats, exersaucers, jumpers, car seats, high chairs – you name it. There are a million and one ways to contain your baby.
Look how even simple things like high chairs have changed since I was a baby!
Today we are blessed with so many crazy gadgets and gear for babies we often fall guilty of frequently restricting our babies' movements.
As a result, physical therapists are now treating more and more kids with motor delays who have no history of medical issues or orthopedic/neurologic impairments.
I had the opportunity to speak with Stacy Menz, a pediatric physical therapist and founder of Starfish Therapies. She has a Masters and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and is a board certified pediatric clinical specialist. She is the managing editor of Impact and is actively involved in research.
Stacy shared her knowledge on why we are seeing more kids with core strength, balance and fine motor issues.
There are a few things that I think have changed. I think that we are busier as a society and that convenience makes life easier. In this way, I think we have developed products for kids that they enjoy and make adults lives easier, such as bouncy chairs, click and go car seats to strollers, etc. With each new product, kids are spending less and less time unrestricted to explore movement and develop strength as they 'learn' how to move.
For instance, with the Bumbo seat, kids are being placed into sitting earlier and earlier, however they may not have the core strength to maintain good posture so they start to compensate. With development of the sitting skill (without the aid of the Bumbo) kids are developing the core muscle strength and motor planning that they need to not only get into the sitting position, but be able to support themselves.
Modern convenience is hurting us.
Research tells us that babies need to spend lots of time on their tummies to ensure proper motor development which leads to increased strength and overall fitness as children and even adults.
In 1992, the "Back to Sleep, Tummy to Play" campaign urged parents to put their children on their backs to sleep instead of in the prone position (on their bellies). Since then the number of children dying from SIDS has decreased by 50%.
This is significant and important. I am a strong believer in following the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for putting your baby to sleep on his back until age 1.
However, the part that is taken less seriously (and understandably since it doesn't increase the risk of infant death) is the importance of tummy time.
Babies should spend most of their waking hours on the floor. Research studies show that infants who have limited time in the prone position have delays in motor development and infants who experience more tummy time achieve milestones sooner.
Each little wiggle on the floor is a significant exercise that is helping the baby develop motor coordination. Tummy time helps babies develop a mature, stable hip position along with hand eye coordination – not to mention it also helps with their digestion!
The first step to shaping fine motor development is to ensure that your baby starts off on the right foot by getting the exercise she needs to develop a strong, stable core.
No children in the woods.
If you haven't read Richard Louv's Last Child in the Woods, I highly recommend it from both an educator's and parent's perspective.
A baby's ability to move freely is very important in helping him develop proper core strength and gross motor skills. However, what about our preschoolers and elementary age kids? Shouldn't they be moving too?
Unfortunately today's children are spending far less time outdoors or engaged in unstructured play – the exact thing they need to continue to develop and strengthen their core and stabilizing muscles.
In 2012, only 50% of 4 million preschoolers surveyed had at least one outdoor play opportunity each day.
This study and this study both show that kids' outdoor activity has decreased significantly since 1981, with children's participation in unstructured outdoor activities falling about 50%.
A British survey in 2003 showed that while adults played outside at least 7 times per week as kids, only 23% of their children did the same.
From 2007 – 2008, participation in outdoor activities for 6 – 17 year olds declined by 11%. In addition, the sharpest decline was with the youngest kids – aged 6 – 12!
Why are children spending so little time playing outside? What is this doing to our children?
There are many reasons why kids are spending less time outside today. These range from parental fears about safety (even though kids are actually safer today than 25 years ago), kids being overscheduled in activities outside of school, more school work and just more stuff to do inside.
Kids spend 7.5 hours outside of school in front of a screen.
Children are spending most of their day in one position. They are doing much less of the things that are traditionally nostalgic of childhood when kids seemed to have hours after school, on weekends and endless summers to participate in somewhat risky, unscheduled and unsupervised play.
Kids are meant to be wild and climb trees, jump on rocks across the creek, build forts, roll down hills and rough house.
I remember climbing and standing on the top of the swing set, flipping off backwards from swings, building sledding tracks with moguls, nailing boards and stringing ropes in trees (my tree house), playing manhunt in the dark and even once playing a neighborhood organized game of Red Rover on rollerblades.
Unfortunately we don't see our kids doing much of this anymore.
With that type of play slowly disappearing, what is happening to our children?
I invited a few pediatric physical and occupational therapists to share their expertise on what has changed in the last 25 years and why we are seeing more kids with core, strength and balance issues.
Angela Hanscom, OT and founder of TimberNook mentioned earlier in this post, is a strong believer in outside play.
More and more children are spending time in an upright position. Meaning they are not moving their bodies in all different directions. This is causing problems with establishing a strong vestibular system (balance) and is really affecting their ability to pay attention, have good body awareness, and maintain a strong core.
Also, because children are spending less time playing outdoors, they are not participating in as much "heavy work" as they used to. In other words, they are receiving less feedback and input to their muscles and joints over time.
This is creating less awareness of their limbs in space. Less movement and outdoor play is also contributing to a decreased overall strength.
Chanda Jothen, a pediatric physical therapist and founder of the blog Pink Oatmeal agrees:
In the past 20-30 years, research has shown that children don't have as much free time, aren't getting outside as much as they used too, and there has been an increase in screen time.
Outdoor unstructured free play is where kids have the opportunity to build strength, balance, and coordination. Due to this decline in active free play kids are missing out on the opportunity to work on these skills.
Teaching to the test and the extinction of recess.
Let's face it – Kindergarten is the new 1st grade. Pre-K is the new K and suddenly kids are missing out on "Everything I need to know I learned in Kindergarten" – cutting with scissors, sharing, the taste of paste… I've taught both K and 1st and I see the sad trend.
It's no secret that what's to blame is increased and higher stakes standardized testing.
Whether teachers and administrators agree with it or not, the pressure is real. Receiving a failing grade means that schools lose funding and teachers lose jobs.
This completely changes the school environment. Young students are forced to spend even more time sedentary with pencil paper work at desks or tables, extended circle time sitting on the rug and dwindling time spent in outdoor play.
Cutting back recess is real.
Twenty-three schools in Orange County, FL are currently limiting or eliminating recess. Teachers are using the extra time to help students prep for mandatory standardized test.
After so many snow days last school year an entire county close to where I lived in DC cut recess back to 10 minutes a day to catch up on academics!
I personally experienced this at one public charter school. When administration changed over one year, I was suddenly not allowed to take my combination 1st grade/Kindergarten class out for a second recess.
These 4 to 7 year olds were expected to attend to class from 8am – 4pm (there was already an extended school day) with only one 20 minute recess break. I was told by the principal that we couldn't afford to lose academic time in the classroom.
Is it too late?
It's sad to see this loss of everything I considered precious about childhood both at school and at home today.
As an early childhood educator, I am already overwhelmed trying to think about the best preschool for my daughter, – let's not even get into Kindergarten.
Now I am paying special attention to amount of time children have outdoors at school and what their playground looks like.
Is there anything we can do? The simple solution is get your baby out of restrictive devices, limit screen time and throw your children outdoors.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I've got a sweet project for you - that won't add any extra calories to your diet!
I like to make a special meal for my family on Valentine's Day and love to set the table with all things Valentine. This year I'll be setting my Valentine's Day table with a set of easy to make placemats that I created using my Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9400 QCP.
The AccuFeed Flex system on my Janome 9400 made it super easy to do the wavy line stitching I used on this project. It's easy to see where I'm stitching and using the AccuFeed Flex system evenly feeds my fabric and batting together without any stretching of the top fabric. It's one of my favourite features on the Janome 9400 and I know I'll be doing more walking foot quilting with this machine.
These placemats are so quick and easy to make, but the best part is that they don't require any binding.
Let me explain what you'll need for this project:
2 Fat Quarters - one solid fabric and one patterned (preferably with a heart-filled fabric)
Batting – I would suggest 100% cotton low loft batting
That Purple Thang or similar to push out corners (include Amazon link)
Usual quilting supplies
That's about it! See, I told you it would be simple!
You'll also need a good sewing machine, of course, which in my case is the Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9400 QCP. It was my best helper as I used the walking foot and AccuFeed Flex system on the machine for the quilting.
Since I wanted to make a set of placemats for Valentine's Day, I used a heart-patterned vintage feeling fabric for the centre of the placemat and the solid fabric for the borders and backing (it's all one piece).
You'll need to decide on what you want the finished size of the placemat to be and cut the fabric you've chosen for your placemat centre and your batting to this size. In my example, I used a 12" x 14" piece of fabric and this would be the actual size of my placemat.
Now, let's get into a bit of math: don't worry, it's really not that complicated – believe me, if it was, it wouldn't be me telling you about it!
To determine the cut size of the backing/border fabric (solid fabric in my example), decide on the size you want the borders to be. I wanted the borders to be 1½" wide. I then multiplied this number by 4: 1½" x 4 = 6" and added this amount to the length of the centre fabric. This was 14" + 6" = 20".
I then did the same calculation for the width of the centre fabric, which was 12". There were also 1½" wide borders on the top and bottom, so I multiplied this by 4: 1½" x 4 = 6" and added this to the centre fabric width of 12" for a total of 18" (6" + 12").
Still with me?
The figures that we just calculated are the size that you'll be cutting from the backing/border fabric. So, in my example, I cut a piece of fabric 18" wide by 20" long and this would be the backing and borders on the placemat.
Just to review: the centre fabric and batting were cut 12" x 14" and the backing was cut 18" x 20".
The next step in the placemat construction is to quilt the top and batting together. I used the walking foot on my Janome 9400 to do this and did some wavy line quilting vertically and horizontally. This was fun and so easy with the help of the AcuFeed Flex system on the Janome 9400. No bunched fabric and it kept both the batting and fabric together without even using pins!
After the quilting is finished, it's time to centre the quilted top onto the backing and then stitch everything together ¼" in from the outside edge of the quilted centre. You may find pins helpful here to keep everything in place.
This next part is when the mitered corners are created and it's almost like magic! Trim off all 4 corners of the backing on a diagonal to remove excess fabric. Be sure that you are ¼" away from the corner of the quilted centre.
Fold in each of the sides (the backing) to meet the quilted centre and press them to keep them in place.
Flip the placemat over and match adjacent sides, being sure to line up at the corner and down the side. Pin to keep in place.
Once everything is pinned properly – don't make the mistake I did – you can stitch the seam at each corner with a ¼" seam.
When you have finished this stitching, you can trim the excess fabric and batting on the corners and then flip the corners out to the front and push out all the corners using That Purple Thang or similar tool (be careful not to poke too aggressively or you may end up with a hole in your corner!).
Press the placemat down and then topstitch the open edge all around the interior of the placemat with a ¼" seam or you could use a decorative stitch. If you want to do additional quilting in the border, you could do that too.
Now that you've seen how easy it is to make one of these placemats, keep going so you'll have a complete set of 4 or 8 or…?
I think that a set of placemats would make a perfect wedding or house warming gift and with this pattern you can design them to any size you want.
This was the first time I'd used the walking foot for quilting and I was pleased at how easy the AcuFeed Flex system on the Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9400 QCP made it. I'll definitely be doing more walking foot quilting on future projects.

I hope you'll try creating these easy placemats on your own. You could make a set for every holiday!

Gorgeous new feel good EP from Slugabed that's just dropped for free.
On one of the tracks he flips Sanchez's classic "Another Chance" to make it sound like a track from the classic "True Romance" movie. There'll always be something terribly cool about that movie!
On "Real Buds" he flips the DJ Blaqstarr & Rye Rye- Shake It To The Ground track and transforms into something worthwhile listening to whilst sea diving or something.
The pick of the bunch for me tho' is "Pure El Nino Vibes", sounds kinda like the soundtrack to one of those feel good French Film Noire movies. Just love it!
Whole EP is perfect summer music for your Ibiza Pool Party's or just listen to it at your local public swimming baths 🙂

The Use of Bleaching Techniques on Paper Conservation
Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies
September 27-October 1, 2010
Instructors: Renate Mesmer and Julie Biggs
Cost: $1275.00
Includes all course materials, lodging and most meals
AIC scholarships of $300 may be available.
This program is designed for mid-career conservators. Instructor
approval is required for admittance into this course.
Course Description: A variety of different bleaching methods can be
used to treat discolored and stained paper. There are cases where
bleaching may be the only way to achieve an acceptable degree of
legibility or visibility of an artifact, or to restore an artist's
vision of a work on paper without the distraction of disfiguring
stains and discoloration. In this workshop conservators will learn a
variety of historical and contemporary bleaching methods and their
appropriate uses: light bleaching, hydrogen peroxide, calcium
hypochlorite, sodium borohydride, and borane tert-butylamine
complex. These methods will be reviewed in the context of existing
and current conservation theory, ethics, and practices. The course
will focus on practical applications of different bleaching
techniques and other non-bleaching options for stain reduction-both
localized and overall treatments. Participants will perform,
compare, and evaluate the techniques.
To register for the course go to:

( Lt. John Pike of the UC) " was just awarded $38,000 in workers' compensation by the state university for the pain and suffering that he endured as a result of the experience. . . " (http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/10/24/pepper-spraying-occupy-cop-awarded-38-000-for-psychiatric-inju/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl3%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D396142)
Not a terribly unique occurrence, but for me, it's another swipe in the emotional equivalent of that Chinese torture "Death of a Thousand Cuts." It hasn't been enough to merely "encourage" people to "buckle up" (Hey, it's only first amendment) or have cars ding at you on startup (Which you're legally not allowed to disable–so much for "private" property), now cars periodically check and ding if there's any seat with enough weight on it to be a person with an unbuckled belt.
As far as I'm concerned, this has legally passed into the realm of harassment. This is, in essence, your private property performing a Government-commanded search without your consent of your cars interior. Combine it with the periodic "enforcement campaigns" and you've got Government-sanctioned bullying. And that's putting it nicely. I do not refrain from using the word "torture."
And I'm faced with it nearly every day of my life, wondering when I'm not going to be able to avoid, what has become–thanks to the slavebelt Nazis getting their way in the world–a torture chamber. I feel like a Jew being asked to take a shower. Or worse, I'll be somehow rendered into a state where I'm unable to voice my desire to not be in a car, and somone will "kindly" assume that I am "okay" with having my most basic freedom (freedom of motion) handed over to an inanimate object with "intelligence" comparable to the ambient temperature. In Celsius. In Antarctica.
And what do I get for this everyday, ongoing, progressive torture? Deaf ears when I plead my case. A confined world for lack of acceptable travel. Life downgraded from "middle class" to "destitution" by lack of jobs that don't involve commuting. The knowledge that I'm being taxed to pay for it (pro-lifers can claim exemption against paying for birth control, but pro-free riders have to support their nemesis). And the maddening stories of people like John Pike, who get compensated for the "emotional pain" stemming from a single event, while people like me get a bill for the "emotional pain" of a near-lifetime of torture.

Congress has not recovered from the 2014 Lok Sabha body blow as yet- Interview
The recently concluded assembly elections led to a debate in many circles and that was regarding whether India was moving towards a Congress mukth Bharath. The Congress leadership has spoken about introspection and its supremo Sonia Gandhi even said that failure is temporary.
Will the Congress revive or will the downfall continue. The Congress has not yet recovered from its 2014 defeat in the Lok Sabha polls says Dr Sandeep Shastri, a leading psephologist. In this interview with OneIndia, Dr Shastri says that the Congress needs to get out of the mindset where in it says a defeat is a collective responsibility while in success the credit goes to the high command.
Is India really seeing a Congress mukth Bharath?
The Congress is mukth from power in many stages. The party is at that stage of the political cycle where it is on a decline. They do not seem to have recovered from their 2014 Lok Sabha defeat and since then they have seen failures on a successive basis. The party is on a decline in terms of popularity and positioning.
What does the Congress need to do?
The party requires some serious introspection. It needs to re-strategise its approach. Moreover it needs to think whether it has given enough say to state leaders to take a call.
The other factor that one needs to bear in mind is that the real Congress mukth bharath would happen only depending on their performance in the states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. In these states the BJP has had a very long run and if it cannot revive in these states then it is in serious trouble.
Is the approach of the party right?
As I said that they have not recovered from body blow they got in 2014. It takes a lot of introspection to change the scenario. The Congress culture has always been , " if they are defeated the blame is collective and if they win the credit goes to the high command."
Although Sonia and Rahul Gandhi have said that they take responsibility for the defeat of the party, they do not have any plan. For the past two years none have seen any visible or viable road map for the future.
These elections have also been a come back for the BJP.
Yes the BJP had an electoral drought in 2015. But this year around it has been a harvest. The major take away for the BJP in these elections is the victory in Assam. The rise of the BJP in Kerala is also an important point.
What about verdict in West Bengal?
West Bengal was won on the strength of the Trinamool Congress. Mamata Banerjee is on a honeymoon period and the people were willing to give her another chance. Moreover she is very popular in the rural areas.
What led to the AIDMK winning in Tamil Nadu?
The split in the anti AIDMK votes was one factor that helped Jayalalithaa. The DMK was unable to capitalise on this. Another factor is that the women's vote was high and it became clear that they had voted for the AIDMK.
Do any of these results have a bearing on the Uttar Pradesh election, the next big battle?
Uttar Pradesh is a completely different ball game because of the nature of competition. UP would depend a lot on both alliance arithmetic and alliance chemistry. UP would be a hard fought battle. It would also be a big test for the BJP which will look to sustain its Lok Sabha result in the state.
How critical is it for the BJP to announce a CM candidate in Uttar Pradesh?
Announcing a Chief Ministerial candidate is not critical as much as whom you appoint and what role you give. In Assam they were strategic in announcing the candidate early. They announced a candidate who has a strong base in the grass root levels. In UP they would need to look for someone with a strong base.

Oude Dokken Ghent / New life on the skippers quay: pioneering sustainable urban development for 350 homes, including 4 residential towers
The architectural competition for the Oude Dokken was the organ point of David Dhooge for Stéphane Beel Architects. After an international competition David led the design team of architects, consisting of Stéphane Beel Architects, Maat designers, BLAF architects, Denc! Studio, Onix (Nl) and Pauwels landscape. Of course, this could not happen without the particularly ambitious objectives of the city itself, the vision of the project developers and all the consultancy and advisory bodies involved. The cooperation with project developers Re-vive, Van Haerents and Van Roey was therefore very constructive. The design therefore won only through the totality, the coherence of architects, engineering firm and project developers. Everyone came to each other's ground to create a historical project together.
The complexity of all tasks together, including designing a master plan with its own team, overseeing five architectural firms, maintaining contacts with engineering offices and project developers, (including contract negotiations, fees, etc.), and at the same time designing some buildings of the site architecture, including two concrete residential towers (high-rise), David had by that time become an all-round figure who likes to take on high degrees of complexity and in open dialogue with all parties involved. Only by working together, across the borders of each field, such projects can be brought to a successful conclusion. Think partner in all of this was Wim Vandendriessche, supplemented by a very talented team of employees.

The special physical preconditions due to the location near the Ring, Singel, Station Berchem and Deurne airport caused additional complexity. For more than seven years, David was the main person responsible for this project, working closely with the team of the project developer IRET development, VK engineering, Stedec and all the services of the city, including the then city architect of Antwerp. This led to a plan of which part has already been realized. The site has almost ten individual buildings that are passive construction. , all completed after a thorough study on the most compact, functional core. This years-long exercise led to an extensive knowledge of master planning, concrete office building infrastructure, technical knowledge concerning large and high façade finishes and the paired detailing of pass facades, sustainable office techniques, flexible layouts in function of potential buyers / tenants etc. A maximum flexibility was always used to convince potential tenants or buyers of the potential of the site or an individual building. The buildings are arranged around an elongated public square that is delimited by a striking awning structure, which is the backbone of the master plan. Here too, a clear, clear line that defines the plan.

Prison Make: Concept and realisation of four new prisons (Beveren, Belgium)
Following an international competition in 2009, David Dhooge and the team of Stéphane Beel Architects devised a concept for the construction of four new prisons at four different locations. Because the client (FOD Jusititie) assumed a classic, panoptic model (Ducpétiaux), there was unfortunately no room for maneuver to think about alternative forms of detention. Nevertheless, the specifications were all the more extensive, the complexity unseen and the challenge equally great. Aspects such as human safety, comfort, sport, relaxation, personnel, supplies, walks, courtroom, transport courts, easy way-finding, workshops and workshops etc all had to be combined in one clear design, with the emphasis on humanity, minimal walking routes, four seasonal gardens and a serene architecture in the form of precast concrete with staggered joints. We looked for one clear system, a design that has symbolic value in its simplicity and image, and that was also applicable to four completely different sites (inclined plane). terrain). The concept can be traced back to a clear schedule, the logo of which serves as signaling within the prison.

The 2018 Chronicle Wine Competition – Why We Aren't Entering
Charles Wetmore provides some consolation for not being able to enter this year's San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

We continue the discussion of our small-lot winemaking practices – this time exploring the use of sulfites in winemaking.
Sidewinder is a story of the golden age of Livermore Valley, a time when innovation and artisanship came together to create some of the world's finest wines and spirits.
Nowhere is the communal power of wine more apparent than during Thanksgiving, when friends and family reunite to catch up with each other's lives.
Selecting the proper barrel is important for all of our wines. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at how we choose the barrels for our Chardonnay.
Occasio Winery is joining forces with the Winegrowers' Association to raise funds for relief efforts in Napa and Sonoma Counties. See how you can help.
The uprooting of ancient 'old vine' vineyards in other parts of the state is a consequence of the consolidation of the wine industry into a few major players. See why Livermore, thus far, has remained immune to this trend.
We live in an age when the word 'craft' has lost its meaning, falling victim to large corporations with oft-falsified stories. So, what are true craft wineries to do?
We discuss our thoughts on the quintessential Livermore Sauvignon Blanc, and what winemaking steps we are taking to achieve it.

Today we begin harvest. This year is special because it is our tenth.
Is black the new fashion in Chardonnay? Check it out.
What ever happened to our 2010 Founder's Cabernet? We explore the mystery as we anticipate the release of the 2010 Heritage Reserve.
There are many ways to make Chardonnay, from austere to plush and everything in between. See what we think is the best style for our fruit as we get ready to bottle our 2016 vintage.
We are releasing three new wines into our Fall lineup. See what our proprietor has to say about them….
This year we team up with Forno Vecchio Restaurant, whose chefs have prepared a savory dish for our 2015 Chardonnay –
With the sale of Schrader Cellars, another iconic Napa winery gets swallowed up. Could Livermore Valley be the last bastion of family ownership?
With our unrelenting passion for quality, we remain one of Livermore's smallest wineries. But not for the reason you might think….
More than just a color bias – there is a bias towards rating some wine varieties higher than others, regardless of quality. But, does it matter? I argue that it does.
It takes more than skill and fresh ingredients to make great wine – it also takes time. Read what we are doing to put 'time' back into our wines.

'Oh yes, the male and the female energy in each of us!' we exclaim, nodding knowledgably at the reference to the Chinese concepts of Yin and Yang. Yet how many people have we known or seen in whom the two energies are synergized, balanced? Do we even even think about our own Yin and Yang?
Yin and Yang
female and male
the flowing and the stable
the moon and the sun
the overt and the concealed
the powerful and the soft
disintegration and integration
Dionysian or Apollonian
All of nature is imbued with bipolar energies – including us humans – and their is constant tension and synergy between the two poles. Taoist texts teach that nature seeks balance and harmony between these opposing forces, these competing polarities. If we do so within our own selves we too can know a fuller life, peaceful and productive. In doing so we also radiate such balance and harmony around us.
Related reading: How our differences make our marriage a success
I have often wondered about the two energies present in each one of us. I am a woman, fully conscious of the Yin in me. Do I honour the Yang energy in myself? Permit it space? Or perhaps the real question would be to ask if I even acknowledge the existence of this 'male' within as an important and a natural part of myself? Do I?
No. I do not. For it would mean to give wind to the unfeminine, the mannish, the tight and the integrated.
I am a woman, the Yin, and must remain so.
I am a man, the Yang, and must remain so.
This internalization runs deep within us. The boundaries are well defined based on our gender. The message is loud and clear: stick to your side.
A man too indulgent of his Yin is too 'soft', a wimp, not in enough control. He risks ridicule. A woman with too much Yang running amok is not a woman; she is a man in a woman's body! Tight, calculative, dry. Don't play… stay with what you are born with.
We are born with both and we can allow them their play, with just a little awareness, no matter what we have been taught.
I saw it in Yamuna and Pau, my instructors in an acrobatic yoga retreat I recently attended in Goa. It came in waves, the realization, what I had been rejecting within, consciously or subconsciously.
Yamuna was Yin as she softly nodded and gave us space to battle our own fears with the gravity defying positions that we had just failed at. She was Yang as she told us delicately yet firmly, 'would you like to go again?' Inherent in her tone was the lack of an option. She was Yin when she swayed with the music asking us to close our eyes, leave our body free and flow with the movement that the music asked of us. She was Yang when she based a man, twice her weight, on her feet and used her thigh muscles and acrobatic techniques to fly him on top of herself.
Pau, our male instructor, was Yang, when as a rock under Yamuna he demonstrated the technique of how to be the strong base to fly the one on top over and over again. As Yang he was in complete control, flying men six inches taller than him, a lot heavier, giving them the confidence to rise themselves against gravity with only Pau's arms or thigh muscles as props.He was Yang when he listed for us as clear defined steps, one block after other, to reach the seemingly impossible flying positions. He was Yin when he took over his guitar in the evenings and sang bhajans following our cue. His fingers strummed softly on the instrument as his brows dropped in complete surrender.
It was a pleasure to see their bipolar forces so beautifully held together in each.The Yin and Yang in each alternate and compliment – to create and release, to build and destroy, to form and deform only to form again. In each I saw the whole, the nar and the nari, the Shiva and the Shakti, the solar and the lunar.

Is that where non-neediness and peace comes from? Perhaps we are looking for our lost parts in the wrong place, perhaps it is within us. In how much Yang we resist, how much Yin we encourage – or vice versa.
Think about your own Yin and Yang. Ask yourself: are they synergized? How well balanced are they? If not, which needs more space?

By Femi Adefioye, Lagos
A former Super Eagles' number one goalkeeper, Ike Shorunmu, on Thursday said that the League Management Company (LMC) should be encouraged in its bid to reposition the league.
Shorunmu, who made the call in an interview with newsmen in Lagos, urged clubs to obey stipulated rules and regulations guiding the league.
Shorunmu, a member of the winning squad at the 2013 AFCON, said that discipline remained the hallmark of any league.
"I played with Stationary Stores FC of Lagos and Shooting Stars of Ibadan in the 1990s' and honestly speaking, discipline was something we did not joke with. Players always have the tendency to misbehave once in a while, but when they know the stand of their clubs towards indiscipline, they will behave.
"The clubs have so much to do by keeping these players grounded whenever they have disobey, they need to take responsibility and not blame match officials. The LMC should be encouraged, we knew what our league was like before the LMC took over and we shouldn't let trivial issues that can be resolved slow us down.
"If any club has a problem with officiating, which also happens even in foreign leagues, all the manager needs to do is to report the issue to the appropriate quarters,'' he said.
Since the 2016/2017 league season kicked-off on Jan. 14, there have been issues of club abandoning matches to perceived unfair officiating with the attendant fans unrest, among others.

Gisela Gamper has been photographing since the 1970s. Early on Gamper preferred large format cameras to capture her images, and printed primarily in palladium, a historic printing process.
Gamper used her body as a (literal) ground of being. Instead of exploring how the body inhabits and moves in an alien world, these photos from the 1990's graft the world itself directly onto the artist's torso, at first through photomontage, and later through computer manipulation.

Visit PRF at JEC World 2016
Hall 5A, Stand N37
Building on our drive for innovation, we are looking forward to discussing our new prepreg materials with visitors, in particular our newly launched epoxy tooling systems, RP801 and RP802. Developed to offer the choice of system that best suits customer requirements, RP801 offers a high quality, industry-standard tooling system, with a cure cycle of 8hrs at 60°C and a tack life of 5 days (at 20°C). RP802 Overnight Cure provides double the tack life (10 days at 20°C) with a 16hrs cure at 60°C or 8hrs at 70°C. Both systems have a Tg of 190°C after post cure (DSC). Current feedback received on RP802 confirms good handling characteristics, excellent surface finish and significant advantages due to the extended tack life – enabling tools to be made quicker, more efficiently and making it easier for constructors to manage the build.
Other systems being introduced include our new highly toughened epoxy prepreg system, RP549 – which is currently in the final phase of testing – and comform®, our new binder-free formable epoxy prepreg veil. An exciting development, comform® is able to drape over complex surfaces as the fibres are free to move and drape in a tacky form; increasing the scope of veils for use in composite moulding applications such as surfacing plies, EMI and RF shielding, heating elements for moulds and more.
We will also be showcasing our new highly durable, Qiicote semi-permanent mould release agent R380 alongside our wide range of composite materials: prepregs, high performance reinforcements, epoxy resin systems, Qiicote mould release, thermoplastic composite technologies, Safran Structil Aerospace Adhesives, consumables and high quality Robuso shears for technical textiles.
Visit our stand to find out more. We look forward to seeing you there!

A quote struck me for numerous reasons. Another seemingly easy to understand thought, which I could probably take to the nth degree because of the nature of my thinking.
"No matter how dirty your past, your future is still spotless." –Drake
The Jacket You Wear
So many times people get caught up in their past. Wrongs done unto them and those harms they caused others. In a sense the jacket they wear today is a ratty, old one from years past.
People often find it difficult to move beyond the days gone by; remembering pains, transgressions, and injustices. This is natural in some way, yet it tends to hold most back.
My Past Still Courses Through My Veins
I like to think my past made me who I am today. For each mistake, each lesson, each triumph, each challenge, each pitfall, each success – every last one of them, still course through my veins.
Rather than admonish or blame them for any lack luster elements of my life today; I embrace them.
Clearing the Cobwebs
You see I've made peace with my past. Harms I've caused or wrongs I've had to make right. I forgive myself. I think forgiveness of self is key as is forgiving others.
Forgiving is different than allowing someone a place back in our lives or saying that what we did in the past was "ok." Acknowledging, apologizing and forgiving are different elements than wronging again, or allowing someone back to do us more harm. I find great value in acknowledging what has been done to me, and what I have done to others, as well as, at the very least, attempting to right things and of course forgive. Forgive myself, and forgive others. It's a relief, a peace. It clears the cobwebs and allows us the clean space needed to proceed.
The Gift
If we accept responsibility, apologize to those who we wronged, and forgive ourselves and others, it helps to heal old wounds. It also allows us to shed that ratty, old jacket.
Our past is a gift, not a curse, no matter how checkered or soiled it may be. That past made us who we are today. Once this gift is revealed; it's our responsibility to keep it alive. We must continue to clear the cobwebs, and keep our jackets clean. Don't allow our recent past to get so muddied and soiled to the extent it was before. Keep checking, keep cleaning and keep washing that jacket. It's never to late, or too soon, to say "I'm sorry," to right a wrong, or to forgive. The more you do it, the better you'll become at doing it.
So with that, I offer this up to you – accept, apologize, forgive and go ahead; grab yourself that brand new jacket, after all, your spotless future awaits.

The role of the parent committee is vital to the running of the pre-school to the point it cannot function without it and without them we would not be able to open our doors to you and your children. The committee is involved in managing the pre-school with responsibilities ranging from recruitment, staff contracts and appraisals to advertising, fundraising and ensuring someone is there to make tea and coffee at the AGM. They work tirelessly, most of their efforts behind the scenes and largely not noticed but vital none the less. They meet once a term to discuss any issues that need addressing and organise the fundraising for that period.
As children move on to primary school each year positions become available so we are always on the lookout for new joiners. We have specific roles as detailed below and more general roles. The specific roles do require some organisation and a greater commitment requiring time at home fulfilling any necessary paperwork and all manner of other ad-hoc jobs. Vacancies for specific roles will be advertised here and on the school notice board. We are required to have a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 12 members including a Chairperson, a Treasurer and a Secretary.
Being part of the committee is a great opportunity to meet new people, learn more about the pre-school and is definitely fun and rewarding! Please do speak to Suzanna if you would like to join.
Our fantastic committee are currently:
- Suzanna Fitzpatrick – Chairperson
- Stephen Smith – Treasurer
- Sophie Deeble – Secretary
- Rebecca MacBean – Fundraising co-ordinator / Petty cash
- Megan Smith – Data Controller
- Sophie Lindsay – General member
- Ronwen Miller – Affiliate member
If you do not wish to join the committee but have an idea for a fundraising event or would be willing to help out on the odd occasion, then please let us know. We will gratefully accept all offers of help!
Next Committee Meeting: Monday 16 September, 8pm, at The Woodman Pub, 50 High Street, Farnborough, BR6 7BA
