The 2012 PRIORITY MATRIX - Q2 update is presented to Council at the July 17, 2012 meeting.
Before reading further, please see my comments on the 2012 Priority Matrix as presented to Council in February 2012.
Disregard that the table on Page 3 of the latest report is festooned with glaring naming and tallying errors.
As in the February report, there's nothing waterfront-related in Exhibit A - 49 (actually 52) initiatives due for completion by 2012 year end.
Exhibit B - 27 (actually 67) initiatives due for completion by year end (sic) contains the same two waterfront items as in February, no progress to report. These are:
Question: how does the 2012 priority matrix Exhibit B, mislabeled and mistallied as it is, grow from 42-items in February to 67-items in July?
Answer: because nobody at City Hall has any balls, and because nobody really vets this shit.
Exhibit C - 33 (actually 77) initiatives due for completion in 2013 and 2014 contains the same singular waterfront item, Lake Ontario Park. This projet is minimally about its waterfront, addressing there some grievous deferred maintenance more than anything truly new or better since 1950.
So there you have it. An out-of-control priority matrix that, on balance, has fuck-all for waterfront.
That was then.
The latest LAKE ONTARIO WATER LEVEL FORECAST now predicts relatively low water throughout the summer.
Which is to say, at least a foot lower than last summer through the end of July.
Overall the bad news persists: the big lakes upstream — Lakes Huron and Superior — are still far below long-term averages.
|Major Kingston Regattas
KINGSTON'S 2012 MAJOR REGATTA PICTURE is much heavier this year than last.
One World Championship and four North American Championships are booked.
This summer's premier event, the Shark Worlds, is hosted by KYC at the end of August.
Our last Worlds' was the Byte CII Worlds in 2009. So it's been awhile
CORK still lists the Byte CII World Championships in June but that regatta won't happen.
More details in our list of major regattas in Kingston.
ALSO AT COUNCIL this week: $60,000 for the Kingston Inner Harbour Sediment Remediation Initiative.
The 2012 PRIORITY MATRIX is presented to Council on Tuesday's (February 21, 2012) meeting.
The matrix is presented in a new format this year, segmented in three exhibits. It's too bad the exhibits aren't properly labeled.
Exhibit A lists 49-items due for completion in 2012. We find nothing related to waterfront in Exhibit A. There's also nothing related to bike trails or parks unless by "park" you mean parking.
So don't hold your breath to see waterfront accessibility improvement this summer.
Exhibit B lists 42 initiatives for completion between 2012-2014. Those of waterfront interest:
Exhibit C lists 33 all initiatives from the Corporate Work Plan in Kingston's Strategic Plan that are due for completion in 2013 and 2014. Just one item has a waterfront component:
That's it. Three items out of 124, and two of those are studies with either no due date or a ridiculously long horizon.
This is all very disheartening, of course. Kingston's relationship with waterfront continues to suck.
More importantly: Why aren't stages of the Great Cataraqui River Trail Project not listed as priorities by 2014?
SURPRISE! You would think that a winter with negligible snow accumulation would have negative impacts for Lake Ontario Water Levels come springtime.
The latest LAKE ONTARIO WATER LEVEL FORECAST predicts higher than normal water levels into the summer.
This makes little sense because the big lakes upstream are still well below long-term averages.
A LASALLE CAUSEWAY Lift Bridge Marine Traffic Survey is underway at http://www.lasallebridge.ca.
The purpose of the survey is to help us to better understand the use and economic value of the lift bridge.
Take a moment to fill-this-out if this matters to you.
INTERESTING AGENDA ITEM for the November 1st Council meeting.
City staff is recommending the addition of Pay and Display parking on the west side of Emily Street. This is a prime parking area for Kingston General Hospital patients and visitors. The additional parking spaces will also accommodate waterfront park users, particularly windsurfers at Richardson Beach.
This is great because recent renovations to the Richardson Beach area eliminated some parking, and the west side of Emily street has been a no-parking zone for many years. It looks like this is about to change.
THE OCTOBER 11th Environment, Infrastructure & Transportation Policies Committee Meeting has the proposed Multi-Purpose Trail on the West Side of the Greater Cataraqui River on its agenda.
More on the Great Cataraqui River Trail.
KINGSTON ROWERS Rob Gibson and Will Crothers won a bronze medal in the Men's Eight finals at the world championships in Bled, Slovenia.
In the process, the team also qualified for the 2012 London Olympics by placing in their semi-final heat.
Here's Mike Koreen's Whig Standard story about it.
WHAT GOES UP, it is said, must come down.
The latest LAKE ONTARIO WATER LEVEL FORECAST shows the extent to which Lake Ontrio levels have dropped since late spring.
Right now we are about the long term average.
As for the big lakes upstream, they are still well below long-term averages, but higher than predited earlier this year.
THE LINK to the Bypass Log For The City of Kingston.
It's improved; you can page back in history.
THE CITY has posted its July 2011 City Priority Matrix.
Here's K7's summary of waterfront-related priorities found in the document.
Of the 86 items in the matrix, only seven concern waterfront.
Just three of those would improve access and two of those are actually being implemented: Lake Ontario Park and Richardson Beach. The third item, the proposed Cataraqui River Trail Project, is citizen-led and still a long way off.
Nothing has changed since the April 2011 Priority matrix except the Richardson Bath House and landscaping work is complete.
Very disappointing overall.
THE JULY EDITION of the Thousand Islands Life e-zine is now online with a couple of interesting local stories.

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

A state regulatory agency has ruled the Facebook/Instagram deal "fair, just and equitable," and now the social network can acquire the photo-sharing app.
The California Department of Corporations signed off on the acquisition and Facebook can now start issuing its shares to Instagram, according to the Wall Street Journal. Facebook made a deal with the photo-sharing app company in April for $300 million cash and 23 million Facebook shares -- however that was several months ago. Then the deal was about $1 billion, but now falling shares have dropped the price tag to about $740 million.
The state regulatory agency.became involved because of the deal's price tag and apparently lack of any revenue for Instagram.
Instagram creator and chief Kevin Systrom expressed little concern about the falling Facebook stock price.
"I've been taught throughout my life to realize there's upside and downside to all public markets," he told the WSJ. "We still believe firmly in the long-term value of Facebook."
We wrote about the deal earlier this year, which seemed to have been negotiated solely by Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg and Systrom. Zuckerberg reportedly informed the board of his rogue acquisition after the fact, which caused some concern about the company's governance just before the company initial public offering.
Systrom initially asked for $2 billion -- a gutsy move since his company has never generated any revenue.

"I Am Unique," he shouts in forceful desperation as the Church to Galileo. His thoughts deeper, more profound than those of unquestioning masses, so sayeth the Lord. He sees himself pushing the boundaries of social construction, tangling with sanity, becoming the unimaginable sage he thinks he is creating. Like me, he seeks a life like none other, a life with color and breath, without limits. He believes that he is distinguished by these young thoughts.
I have stolen when I had desires beyond my means. I have lied. I have felt the weight of regret. He steals things he does not desire that are within his means. He would happily lie. He feels little regret in the name of his experiment, which he calls "growth". He is ashamed of me, and wishes to break free from my quiet, well-meaning shackles.
He gives expectations of him the finger, trying to release his ultimately inward-focused frustration. He screams with my closed mouth. He would have me explain himself if he were ever in a position of true compromise. I can't help but feel his adolescent influence as I write.
But we are a team. We both want to be heard. When we both have one thing to say, he will be the one with the balls to say it. He's the one who kisses the girl, he's the one who sings at open mic, he's the one who writes music and love letters, who drops my secure life plan to make us happy.
And now, he is asking for the keys to my car.

CHICO — Fares for Butte Regional Transit bus rides will be going up in the next few months, but exactly when isn't certain.
The rate hike was approved this morning by the board of directors of the Butte County Association of Governments, which operates the B-Line.
The rise will see in-city rides increase from $1.40 to $1.50, and rides between cities go from $1.80 to $2. The dial-a-ride paratransit service will increase from $2.50 to $2.75 a ride.
The vote to approve the hike was 7-1, with Chico Supervisor Larry Wahl dissenting. It came after a brief hearing at which no one from the public spoke. There have been several previous public hearings as the matter has been under discussion for months.
The hike was proposed because of the state requirement that revenue from fares pay part of the cost of providing transit service.
For fixed-route bus lines, riders must pay 20 percent of the cost of the service. For paratransit, fares must cover 10 percent of the cost.
Fixed route fare revenue on the B-Line has been comfortably above the 20 percent requirement, but paratransit revenue has dipped close to 10 percent.
Paratransit fares can be no more than double fixed-route fares, so the need to increase one means the other has to go up as well.
When the fare hike will go into effect isn't certain, but BCAG senior transit planner Jim Peplow said it would probably happen before the end of the fiscal year in June.
The $120,000 to $130,000 the increase will raise annually isn't needed to meet this year's budget.
Peplow said the increase would be linked to the printing of new bus schedules, which depends on shifts in timing of some bus routes that are currently being evaluated.
Routes are regularly tweaked slightly so that timing of bus stops correspond to when buses can actually arrive and depart under changing traffic conditions.

Moscow, Russia: A Ukrainian air force pilot who was captured by separatist rebels last month has been arrested in Russia and charged with abetting the killing of two Russian journalists, Russian officials said on Wednesday.
Ukraine has been rocked by fighting between pro-Russia rebels and government forces for over three months. Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin, employees of a Russian state-owned TV channel, died in June after being hit by mortar fire while on assignment in the Ukrainian city of Luhansk.
Russia's Investigative Committee said in a statement Wednesday that 31-year-old pilot Nadezhda Savchenko is suspected of tipping off Ukrainian troops as to the whereabouts of the journalists as well as other unspecified "civilians" who were in a rebel-held area.
The investigators said Savchenko was a Ukrainian officer but she went on leave earlier this summer to join a voluntary battalion.
Savchenko is now in a Russian detention center but it is unclear how she got there. Moscow insists she crossed the border voluntarily, without documents and under the guise of a refugee. They said they have yet to find out why she went to Russia. Ukraine, however, recently raised the alarm about her disappearance, with the foreign ministry issuing a protest note.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said Wednesday that "as far as we know she was held by terrorists" and called the claim that she had been freed and attempted to go to Russia "absurd."
Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, was quoted as saying Wednesday that Savchenko had been kidnapped and the president has asked all authorities to work for her return.

One of NASCIO's guiding principles is to "promote the CIO as the technology leader who drives innovation and transformation." To advance this belief, this leadership white paper explores the various structures and relationships of the State Chief Information Officer's (CIO) role and how these differences impact the CIO's participation in government transformation and innovation. The NASCIO CIO Leadership Working Group explored these differences and caution that a "one size fits all" approach is not the objective given that there are clear reasons for these variations. We looked at how the role of the CIO might evolve given 'forces' that could impact this evolution, such as technology disrupters and innovation. We discussed these 'forces' and critical success factors with private sector CIOs to learn how they have evolved their position, authority, and responsibility to support corporate transformation. We prepared this paper as a guide for CIOs, Governors, and other state officials to learn more about the various models that exist and how those models could evolve to support the direction of the enterprise.
NASCIO, TechAmerica, and Grant Thornton LLP have collaborated for a fourth year on the annual survey of state government IT leaders. The 2013 survey report, The Enterprise Imperative, offers the latest insights from State CIOs and concludes these leaders are emphasizing effective enterprise governance models, adopting business disciplines, and forging the right relationships for collaboration. The 2012 survey – Advancing the C4 Agenda – focused on the balancing act that CIOs must maintain both in providing high-quality services and in delivering new, innovative solutions. These demands have not decreased over the past year. CIOs are responding by focusing on the enterprise, and by coordinating across boundaries. The enterprise focus may involve integrating governance and portfolio management across the state, improving the effectiveness of IT procurement, or deploying statewide identity and access management solutions.
For the 2013 observance of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, NASCIO has updated its Resource Guide for State Cybersecurity Awareness, Education, and Training Initiatives. The guide includes new information from our state members, who provided examples of state awareness programs and initiatives. This is an additional resource of best-practice information, together with an interactive state map to allow users to drilldown to the actual resources that states have developed or are using to promote cyber awareness. It includes contact information for the CISO, hyperlinks to state security and security awareness pages, and information describing cybersecurity awareness, training, and education initiatives.
The Resource Guide is a work-in-progress that should provide a valuable reference resource for Cyber Security Awareness Month, as well as the ongoing planning of security awareness and training efforts state programs may undertake thereafter.
The NASCIO Procurement Modernization Committee, in partnership with TechAmerica and the National Association of State Procurement Officials, continues to focus on state IT procurement reforms and highlight best practices at the state level. This brief is the third in a series of recommendations set forth by this collaborative. The purpose of the brief is to highlight some of the strategies used to first identify, then to avoid, transfer, mitigate, and ultimately accept the risks associated with the procurement of IT products or services. Although not all risks can be identified, the goal should be to understand how much risk is associated with a specific IT procurement and what tools, processes, benchmarks, and methodologies are available to uniquely address IT procurement risks.
Commonwealth of Virginia's EIA Strategy and NIEM Integration Plan
The Commonwealth of Virginia has completed an eight-month strategic planning process to develop an Enterprise Information Architecture (EIA) strategy. A central element of the EIA strategy involves building exchanges for "citizen-centric" data that conform with the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM).
Virginia's NIEM integration plan will enable the state government to comply with new statutory requirements for standardizing Person data and promote enhanced capabilities for business-driven information exchanges.
This webinar will provide insight on Virginia's emerging EIA strategy and NIEM integration planning. The primary focus will be on Virginia's EIA strategic plan and successful implementation of the NIEM Engagement Process.
Cross-jurisdictional collaboratives are on the rise. As the number of such collaboratives increases, there are essential ingredients for framing and sustaining successful and even exceptional collaborative arrangements that deliver real outcomes. As NASCIO reviewed successful collaboratives, proper governance continually surfaced as one of those essential ingredients for effective sharing of government information and services and effective employment of technology across two or more enterprises. This issue brief presents examples of effective governance and describes what constitutes effective governance.
The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) formed a collaboration to determine how the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) views the current health information technology landscape. Specific areas of focus for this study included Medicaid Management Information Systems (MMIS), Medicaid Eligibility Systems, Data Governance and Identity Management, State Level Health Information Exchanges, Shared Services and Collaborations. This study combined HIMSS' expertise in health information technology and information exchange with NASCIO's expertise representing state CIOs and information technology executives from the states, territories and the District of Columbia. The results of this collaborative survey will serve those seeking to understand the current environment of State healthcare technology initiatives ranging from governance models to data exchange activities. This analysis will also facilitate understanding of the intersection of the state CIO's role with state health information technology (HIT) projects. This collaboration represents one of the first holistic analyses focused on the state CIO perspective of State HIT projects.
The issue brief focuses on state use of social media, specifically on state social media participation policies ("SMPP's"). NASCIO's Legal Advisory Working Group took a look at 31 SMPPs, which focus specifically on guidance/policy given to state employees regarding their participation in social media.
States have come a long way in the past few years, with the majority implementing social media policies or working towards one. However, some of the gaps found have the potential to open up states to some severe heartburn: including employee discontent, management concerns, public perception and liability.
The issue brief also addresses the inclusion of clauses on confidentiality, ethical conduct, security and privacy, and transparency in SMPP's.

On Jan. 30, Cornell University announced an initiative to create a new College of Business that would encompass the university's three accredited business schools: the School of Hotel Administration (SHA), the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management (Dyson), and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management (Johnson). In the following weeks, we interviewed faculty and students from the three schools to understand their concerns and to identify opportunities as the new college is defined by Cornell leadership, faculty, students, staff, and alumni.

Sparky Backup Sys is a Yad based frontend to Sparky Backup Core which lets you backup your existing Sparky installation, creating an iso image, in graphical mode.
The tool is based and forked from Remastersys-GUI.
The Info option provides basic informations about the tool.
The EFI* option provides informations about support of creating iso images which will be able to run and install on machines with UEFI motherboards.
The most important is to download grub-efi related debs from Debian "testing" repository:
* 64bit (amd64): efibootmgr, grub-efi, grub-efi-amd64, grub-efi-amd64-bin, libefiboot1, libefivar1
* 32bit (i386): efibootmgr, grub-efi, grub-efi-ia32, grub-efi-ia32-bin, libefiboot1, libefivar1
and place them in the /home/offline directory; see 64bit (amd64): efibootmgr, grub-efi, grub-efi-amd64, grub-efi-amd64-bin, libefiboot1, libefivar1
32bit (i386): efibootmgr, grub-efi, grub-efi-ia32, grub-efi-ia32-bin, libefiboot1, libefivar1
and place them in the /home/offline folder, see: Sparky Backup System - Tricks & Tips - Tip2
The Edit backup* option lets you configure the target live system's options, such as:
a. Working directory (make sure you need up to 20 GB of space to create 4GB iso image):
b. The live system label:
c. New iso image name:
The Edit Installer options lets you change the target user groups.
If you are not sure, leave it as it is.
The Clean Cache option remove all cached deb packages from your system, to reduce the target iso image.
The option uses command:
apt-get clean
The ISO option starts the new iso building process.
Depends on your machine power and the target iso size, it takes from 15 minutes to 1 hour or… ?
After the building process is completed, copy the iso image, package list, allsums and log file to different location.
The Clear option removes/delates all files from your working directory.
Run the option everytime your built an iso and would like to build next one.
The Viewlog option opens stored building log file from your working directory (if exist).
You should also read Tricks & Tips page.

Refractive surgery
Refractive eye surgery is any eye procedure used to improve the refractive condition of the eye and eliminate or decrease dependency on contact lenses or glasses. This may consist of numerous methods of surgical remodeling of the cornea or cataract operation. The commonest methods at present use excimer lasers to reshape the cornea's curvature. Successful refractive eye procedures may reduce or cure popular vision conditions like astigmatism, myopia and hyperopia, and also degenerative conditions such as keratoconus.
Excimer laser ablation is performed under a partial-thickness lamellar corneal flap
The excimer laser is used to remove the most anterior part of the corneal stroma. These procedures don't need a partial-thickness cut into the stroma. Surface ablation procedures vary only in the way the epithelial layer is taken care of.
Ophthalmologists use many approaches to examine the results of refractive surgery and change their techniques to offer better results in the future. A few of these approaches are programmed into the devices ophthalmologists use to gauge the refraction of the eye along with the shape of the cornea, like corneal topography.
There is no universally-accepted, most convenient way for correcting refractive problems. The best choice for you must be decided after an intensive discussion and evaluation with your ophthalmologist. If you are thinking about refractive surgery, you and your Eye M .D. may discuss your vision and lifestyle needs to figure out the best procedure for you.

Hello Juan Uribe. Goodbye losing streak.
There are gentle ways to turn around a bad skid and then there are nights like Monday, when led by Uribe's three solo homers, the Dodgers went the sledge-hammer routine, pounding the Diamondbacks behind a six-home run attack for an 8-1 victory.
A Dodger Stadium sellout crowd of 52,410 packed the ballpark on Hello Kitty bobblehead night, watching the Dodgers snap a four-game losing streak to reduce their magic number for clinching the National League West to eight.
Six of the Dodgers' first nine hits were homers. By the fifth inning you worried they would run out of baseballs.
Ricky Nolasco held the Diamondbacks to one unearned run on three hits in his 6 2/3 innings, yet the spotlight nevertheless fell on Uribe and the team's power outburst.
Uribe began the night with seven homers on the season. The three homers were one more than he had all last year.
But Uribe, who started the year backing up Luis Cruz at third base, has managed to reinvent himself this season. After being part of a rotation at third, he eventually won the position outright. And even after the recent acquisition of Michael Young, he was the team's undisputed starter at third.
Uribe became the first Dodger since Andre Ethier on June 26, 2009, to hit three homers in one game. The only Los Angeles Dodger to hit four home runs in a game, Shawn Green, happened to be in attendance Monday.
It was actually Ethier who started the home run barrage Monday, hitting a solo shot off Arizona starter Randall Delgado in the second inning. Uribe followed with his first homer.
In the third inning, Hanley Ramirez doubled and scored on an Adrian Gonzalez homer. It was the only one of the Dodgers' six home runs that was not a solo shot. One out later, Uribe followed with his second home run, this one just getting over the left-field wall.
Ramirez got into the power act with a solo shot in the fifth inning, and two outs later, there was Uribe again, drilling his third homer.
He was mobbed by teammates, and then brought out for a curtain call by the sellout crowd. It was a long way from the guy buried on the bench last season.
He had a shot at a fourth homer in the seventh inning, but apparently just for variety, beat out an infield hit to third to drive in his fourth run of the night.
Nolasco raised his record to 8-1 as a Dodger. He has now won his last seven consecutive decisions. Nolasco (13-9) walked one and struck out six in his 6 2/3 innings. In his last seven starts, he has a 1.17 earned-run average.
The six home runs were the most the Dodgers had in one game since they had seven on Sept. 16, 2006, against the Padres. Only 16 players in baseball history have hit four homers in one game, including Green and Brooklyn Dodger Gil Hodges.

To fund research that advances our understanding of the causes of mental illness, improves methods of diagnosis and treatment and, ultima... Read more
Modern Library, 2006 - 203 pages 'We' - In the One State of the great Benefactor, there are no individuals, only numbers. Life is an ongoing process of mathematical precision, a perfectly balanced equation. Primitive passions and instincts have been subdued. Even nature has been defeated, banished behind the Green Wall. But one frontier remains; outer space. Now, with the creation of the spaceship Integral, that frontier - and whatever alien species are to be found there - will be subjugated to the beneficent yoke of reason. One number, D-503, chief architect of the Integral, decides to record his thoughts in the final days before the launch for the benefit of less advanced societies. But a chance meeting with the beautiful 1-330 results in an unexpected discovery that threatens everything D-503 believes about himself and the One State. The discovery - or rediscovery - of inner space...and that disease the ancients called the soul. A page-turning SF adventure, a masterpiece of wit and black humor that accurately predicted the horrors of Stalinism, We is the classic dystopian novel. Its message of hope and warning is as timely at the end of the twentieth century as it was at the beginning. First published in the Soviet 1920s, Zamyatin's dystopic novel left an indelible watermark on 20th-century culture

Accepting Fear (10% Happier Self Care Journey) Day 7
Accepting Fear 12/11/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 7 Notes ° "I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do." Georgia O'Keeffe ° Many times having courage is more attainable than being fearless. -Aaron Hill ° Acknowledging and accepting the feeling of fear is the first key to investigating the feeling which is the first key to alleviating and breaking up the grip of fear. ° Fear is an evolutionary survival tool. The point is to manage it so that you don't experience it when you doesn't serve you.

Lust Cracks The Brain (10% Happier Self Care Journey) Day 6
Lust Cracks The Brain 12/10/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 6 Notes ° Introducing a bit of humor about your thoughts is a tremendously valuable tool in practicing mindfulness. ° There's absolutely NOTHING inerrantly wrong with lust or any other desire. The goal is to pay attention to which desires serve us and which entangle us. Balance is key. ° Lust is the foundational reason that you can read this statement. 😂 ° As far as sex goes…..Lust is actually the first stage of falling in love. It is driven by desire, the sex hormones play an important role in this stage which makes sense because if there is no desire, then how can there eventually be love. Lust is the fire, love is the fuel and without one the other doesn't last for too long.
December 10, 2019
Letting Thoughts Go (10% Happier Self Care Journey) Day 5
Letting Thoughts Go 12/9/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey — Day 5 Notes ° Remember that the "thought" of a thing, scenario or circumstance is not the thing itself. Sometimes we aren't aware that we are getting deeply emotionally sucked into the "movies" of our minds. Some are fine some are causing us unnecessary stress, anxiety or depression. ° Use mindfulness to sort through these thoughts to see if they are helpful to us or useless, unhealthy or harmful. ° If you get caught up in an unhealthy "movie" in your mind take a few minutes to breath deeply, focus on your breath and tell yourself "It's ok to feel this", "It's just a mind state", "These feelings are only temporary", "I can freely let this go". ° Meditation becomes increasingly accessible as we learn to let thoughts come and go.
December 10, 2019
Pranayama - A Word A Day 12/7/19
Pranayama (prana = energy + yama = control) is a type of meditation technique that involves various ways of controlling the breathing, with the goal being to withdraw ones senses from the outside world. This helps one to raise one's prana (or Kundalini energy in this case) up the deep spine to the spiritual eye or sixth chakra, which brings one to enlightenment. Kriya Yoga is one such technique, made well known by Paramhamsa Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi. (1)
December 8, 2019
Compersion - 12/6/19 A Word A Day
compersion (uncountable) 1. The feeling of joy one has experiencing another's joy, such as in witnessing a toddler's joy and feeling joy in response. 2. The feeling of joy associated with seeing a loved one love another; contrasted with jealousy.
December 8, 2019
It's Ok To Feel This (10% Happier Self Care Journey) Day 4
"It's Ok To Feel This" 12/7/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 4 Notes ° Recognition isn't mindfulness. We can recognize something and still be averse to it. ° Mindfulness: a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique. ° Saying "It's ok to feel this" allows us to balance the recognition with a genuine acceptance of what we're feeling or what is there. ° When meditating and using the words "In/Out" while breathing use mouth shapes that naturally mimic these words like in Pranayamic breathing exercises.
December 8, 2019
It's Just A Mind State (10% Happier Self Care Journey) Day 3
"It's Just A Mind State" 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 3 Notes ° Fear is a changing mind state that will go just as easily as it comes if you let it. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. - Aaron Hill ° To become mindful take suffering or tension as "feedback" rather than a problem. ° Struggling with something is an indicator of not accepting. When you accept, the feeling of struggle dissipates. - Aaron Hill ° When dealing with undesirable narratives and loops remind yourself "It's Just A Mind State". ° When meditating use the phrase "In out" while breathing to help to keep your mind focused on your breath.

Helping People On A Very Vulnerable Level (G.E.M.S 💎 w/ Sherri Goodall)
Being vulnerable and not worrying about anyone else's judgment is a topic that we are used to but not as used to in our new environment of communication called social media. I feel that I will be a counselor and supporter in this area of human relations until the day I die..... Or until every human on earth is that a place of high self-esteem and self-confidence around it and that mission excites me.

My New Self Care Journey (10% Happier Journey) Day 1 🧘🏽♂
y new journey around self care and meditation. 2 years ago I had a panic attack and as I started researching I came across news anchor Dan Harris' story. His quest led him to create a compilation of meditation courses featuring a wide diversity of great contributors, an audio book and a really in depth app around these topics. It resonated with me because as a secular humanist I need meditation resources that are void of religious or spiritual connotations, motivations and language..... otherwise they become distractions and obstacles to me being successful with the practices. I highly recommend his resource for anyone interested in meditation. It's really educational, inspirational and fun. Here's the website: www.tenpercent.com I'll be documenting my daily self care journey using this resource so please stay tuned as I share to help others and to help myself! Also, here's the link to my new piano meditation album "Key Reflections" https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/aaronhill/key-reflections-vol-1 I also hope to become a musical contributor myself! *fingers crossed!*🤞

G.E.M.S 💎 w/ Tonya Franklin (Finding Your Voice)
Finding your musical "voice" can be a challenging process for many. I believe the key is dedicating time to be "in the shed" where you can explore the ideas, styles and vocabulary that resonate deeply with YOU, your personality and tastes (separate from getting ready for a gig). In this convo my good friend Tonya Franklin and I chop it up and go down the "rabbit hole" on this deep topic. Enjoy and by all means please drop a line with your additional thoughts and ponderings.

Ive made an IDCard class with a subclass called VisitorID.
The visitor ID is only valid for a certain date so ive created a method to check this. It was working for me but now it isnt and i cant see what ive done wrong.
Below is the method, when i call this method from my test class it returns ID card is not valid regardless of if its a correct or incorrect date. "dateValid" is the date string input when creating the Visitor ID card and is in the format dd/mm/yyyy.
public void isValid() { Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); if(sdf.format(cal.getTime()).equals(dateValid)) { System.out.println("Visitor ID Card is Valid"); } else System.out.println("Visitor ID Card is not valid"); }
Any help appreciated

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Systems of synchronization occur throughout the animate and inanimate world. The regular beating of the human heart, the swaying and near collapse of the Millennium Bridge, the simultaneous flashing of gangs of fireflies in Southeast Asia: these varied phenomena all share the property of spontaneous synchronization. This unit shows how synchronization can be analyzed, studied and modeled via the mathematics of differential equations, an outgrowth of calculus, and the application of these ideas toward understanding the workings of the heart.
Many things in the universe behave in a synchronized way — whether manmade, or natural. We see synchronization as an emergence of spontaneous order in systems that most naturally should be disorganized. And when it emerges, there is a beauty and a mystery to it, qualities that often can be understood through the power of mathematics.
While it is true that mathematics can be used to make sense of and make testable predictions about certain real-life situations, such as solar eclipses, there are many types of natural phenomena, such as the turbulence of fluids in motion, for which current mathematical models are inadequate.
This interactive simulates the correlation of a metronome's ticking to a sine wave as well as the synchronization of multiple metronomes on an unstable surface.

Flores dismissal maddens Monk
Swansea boss Garry Monk was left frustrated and infuriated by defender Chico Flores' early dismissal in his team's 1-0 home defeat against Barclays Premier League title contenders Chelsea.
Monk cut an exasperated figure on the touchline after Flores received two yellow cards in little more than two minutes, meaning Swansea played over two thirds of the game with 10 men.
They were finally undone by Demba Ba's 68th-minute winner, which kept Chelsea two points behind league leaders Liverpool and Swansea still in relegation danger.
"If you go by the letter of the law it is a sending off, but if you do letter of the law every single game then you will get six or seven sendings off a game," Monk said.
"The disappointing thing was that he (referee Phil Dowd) looked like he signalled straight away 'no' - as if to signal it didn't warrant another yellow.
"Then their bench and manager surrounds the fourth official and their players surround the referee and then the red card comes later on.
"It makes you wonder, doesn't it?
"But I know Phil, and he is an honest guy. I don't think he responded to the pressure. If he says it was him giving himself time, then it is him giving himself time. But the circumstances make it strange.
"It's not great when people are asking for the ref to dish out a red card, but what can you do. It happens, and you trust that the ref was strong enough to deal with all that."
Assessing Flores' two cautions, Monk added: "I'm not disappointed in him, but he is an experienced pro and he should have used that experience in that situation.
"We have all been in that situation where you have been booked, and especially if it's early on, you are then treading on a tightrope for the rest of the game.
"The harshest punishment is getting sent off and Chico got sent off."
Swansea now head to Newcastle next Saturday, still needing probably one more win from their last four fixtures to retain their top-flight status.
"I've told the players that we have shown that desire and attitude not to be beaten," Monk said.
"Unfortunately, we have come away on a couple of occasions with nothing, but I've just said to them if we show exactly what we have done for the last four games then we will have no problems.
"We are not in a good position. We are not secure, and with four games left that's not the position you want to be in. It's in our hands, but we have to do something quickly and get something out of the next game."
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho opted not to attend his post-match press conference, handing the job instead to assistant coach Steve Holland.
"Jose asked me to do it," Holland said, without offering any further explanation.
"It is something I have done a few times this year, and it is something I am more than happy to do it when he asks me."
On the Flores cautions, Holland added: "In my opinion, the two yellow card decisions were crystal clear.
"I have seen them both back, and I think the referee was quite clearly correct on both counts.
"I think the referee made the decision, and he made the decision correctly.
"As to who he speaks to and how long he takes over the decision, you would have to ask him how that works. For sure, ultimately he made the right decision.
"It (Swansea away) has always been a difficult fixture for us.
"They are a team that is very much based around keeping possession of the ball, and they can frustrate you for long periods because it is difficult to build pressure up against them.
"On the back of a Champions League game in midweek, which is emotionally, physically and mentally draining, you always worry about the impact that has on your next fixture.
"It is a fantastic three points for us, and very much a case of getting over the line, really."
Ba also scored the winner when Chelsea booked their Champions League semi-final place last Tuesday by knocking out Paris St Germain on away goals, and the title race is now hurtling towards a potential decider when Mourinho's team visit Anfield in two weeks' time.
"Not much has changed. We are five points clear of Manchester City, and they have two games more to play than us. If Manchester City win all their matches, they finish ahead of Chelsea," Holland said.
"Obviously, it has been a good day for Liverpool, and it looks like being an exciting conclusion to the season.
"We have probably got to win all of our games, one way or another.
"That's the likelihood, but we have been facing that task now for a good couple of weeks, certainly on the back of our result at Crystal Palace. I think any leeway we had was eliminated after that result."
