Hello fellow star seeds! November is a busy month in the cosmos so I figured we should probably talk about it. Forewarned is also armed. Knowledge is power! We are all spiritual beings in this ride together, so let's make the most of it. Astrology is the perfect resource to keep in your self-awareness tool kit and will ultimately help you process and become more in-tune to what is going on around you. The cosmos always help me work through what I am experiencing, and they can help you too – we just have to pay attention (and LISTEN). Astrology has helped me so much in my own self-development journey, in expanding my spiritual consciousness, and in learning how to be more aware and mindful of my own actions and those of others around me.
Welcome to the Cosmic Energy of November!
So are you feeling the shifts yet?? We have some BIG cosmic turning points this week (this month!) that are no coincidence to a lot of what is going on in the world right now too. As a collective, we are all affected by this energy and are entering a really important time for us all to stand together as one. On an individual plane, a lot is being tested in relationships with ourselves and others, and so much more depending on where specific planets fall in our own charts!
In a nutshell, we have 3 planets that will be moving in and out of retrogrades, and 2 planets moving into fire signs! We might feel a lot different about so many different things from the start of November to the end.
Alright. Let's unpack this week first:
Nov. 6 – Uranus moves to Aries
Uranus, the change maker, loves to stir things up and shake up the core of things we may be going through as a collective! Uranus is currently in a 6 month long retrograde period that lasts until January 2019, but tomorrow, 11/6, Uranus shifts back into Aries (from the sign of Taurus). This transition could help stir up activism all over the place. Uranus is known for radical change and when combined with combative Aries .. oofta!
For me specifically, a Cancer, this shift affects my 10th house of career – causing 4 more months of shake ups for me before transitioning out and not returning again in my entire lifetime. I've personally been experiencing a block by Uranus in this area of my chart since 2011 – oddly specific to the time I graduated college and have been walking around lost in my career ever since.
Nov. 6 – The North Node moves into Cancer & the South Node moves into Capricorn
The North Node, or the "cosmic point of destiny" will move into Cancer until May of 2020. Cancer rules family, domestic affairs, divine feminity, and home. The North Node quite literally, represents where we are all headed as a collective. The South Node represents the energies we are all trying to resolve. To provide a little background – the nodes are energetic vortexes formed by the Moon's orbit meeting the Sun's path in our sky. These Nodes always change signs every 18 months, moving backwards through the zodiac.
*Election day in the US is also on November 6th*
I don't consider it a coincidence that both of these radical November 6th changes take place on the midterm election day in the United States. … But this change will definitely affect us all – and for the next 18 months!
Nov. 7 – New Moon in Scorpio
New Moons are a powerful time for setting intentions for the month ahead. Consider it a new chance, a fresh start, the slate is clean! Each month the focus of the new moon is in a new zodiac sign and paves the way for a focus in our life that will last for another 6 months, until a Full Moon in the same zodiac sign.
This month, La Luna appears in the sign of Scorpio – while we are deep in the depths of Scorpio season, and in the middle of so much other cosmic activity. The New Moon in Scorpio stirs up the desire to give your life a sexy makeover! The perfect time for us to dig up our own dirt and face our own shit so we can get through negative patterns we may have. The energy during this time supports us growing emotionally through problems in our relationships that in the past we have turned a blind eye to.
Nov. 8 – Jupiter moves to Sagittarius
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, luck, and good fortune, makes its way through each sign of the zodiac – roughly every 12 months and doesn't repeat a sign until roughly every 12 years! On Thursday, 11/8, Jupiter moves into its home sign of Sagittarius – this is where it prefers to be. Jupiter is all about looking at the big picture and setting corresponding big goals.
This change will affect us all on some level, depending on where we might have Sagittarius in our own charts. It will ultimately affect those with a Sagittarius sun sign (zodiac sign) or rising or moon sign the most, but all of us will still feel a shift in a certain part of our lives. For me personally, Jupiter in Sagittarius affects my house 6th house of health, fitness, and work! This is the perfect time for me to really get serious about my own wellbeing routines. I'm very excited the cosmic energy will be supportive of me in this area during this time, because I could really use a serious push back in the right direction!
So now to look ahead to later this month:
Nov. 16 – Venus goes direct
If you know anything about this, you may be silently screaming with me, "FINALLY". Venus, planet of love, beauty, relationships and luxury has been spinning backwards for the past 40 ish days, forcing us all to examine these areas of our lives with a fine tuned microscope. Venus only goes retrograde roughly every 18 months so we typically feel the shift when she does. This retrograde cycle she spent most of the first month in the sign of Scorpio and is spending these last few weeks in the sign of Libra. The last time this Venus retrograde in Scorpio/Libra took place was fall of 2010! (Notice any patterns or themes from then to now?)
Relationships of every kind have really been feeling this energy hard during this time. Relief is finally here and it's time to move forward based on what you have learned about loving yourself and others.
Nov. 16 – Mercury goes retrograde
But just when we thought we finally got a break from hefty retrogrades, Mercury, planet of communication, takes its turn to go retrograde. Great! I'd say this is probably the most well known retrograde (because it takes place the most often – about 3-4 times a year), and it's definitely the one with the bad impressions.
Mercury isn't all bad though I swear. He does however help us slow down this holiday season and focus on that which really matters. (But can also slow down any online orders, new huge purchases, contracts, travel plans, or job changes – so watch out!)
Nov. 22 – Full Moon in Gemini
On Thanksgiving/Black Friday in the US, we also have a Full Moon in the sign of Gemini. Cosmically timed around these celebrations, this may be one of the most social Full Moons of the year. Gemini is a sign of curiosity and communication, and Gemini definitely loves to socialize. It will be a great time to understand other perceptions and have meaningful interactions with others.
For me this Full Moon will focus on my 12th house of rest, healing, and endings. This will hopefully be the perfect opportunity for me to take some rest, and to reflect on the intensity of the month and even the past year! [2018 has NOT been light in the cosmic world.]
Nov. 24 – Neptune goes direct
Last but not least, after 5 months of retrograde in the sign of Pisces, Neptune finally goes direct on 11/24. This retrograde for me has been affecting my 9th house of travel, metaphysical study, and expansion. (Almost creepy because it's so accurate!) However this retrograde has been creating a block between me and my ability to connect with my highest self. I'm looking forward to the relief of this planet going direct and hoping to finally energetically level up a bit!
Whew, what a wild ride!
Want to learn more about how this affects you directly, based off your zodiac sign? Shoot me an email, send me a message on Instagram – let's connect! I can help you work through what it means for you and focus on positive ways to harness the energy and get through it.
This energy isn't bad, this energy isn't negative. This is a very powerful time for all of us, and a time of great transformation and unity amongst the collective.

If you have accepted a new job, it is possible that you will have to have a background check completed. These are free background checks, in as such that your employer will have to pay for them. It is standard for these to be completed in a number of different situations.
When Background Checks Are and Are not Required
Generally speaking, new employees will be asked to have both a criminal history and a credit history check completed. Depending on their exact role, these checks may have to be repeated periodically. For instance, someone who works directly with vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, or the disabled, may need to have a criminal history check completed every year. Someone in the financial industry, for instance, may also have to complete a new credit check regularly.
Overall, however, a background check for employment is a one time only thing. This includes for those who move within the company or who are promoted or demoted. They will already have been background checked when they first took on the position, so they will not have to complete checks again.
Specifically, checks are completed on those:
- Who handle personnel, contractor, or financial records or data.
- Who handle sensitive or confidential information or data.
- Handle credit cards, checks, or cash.
- Provide services to people younger than 18.
- Who have details for secured spaces.
- Who work with toxins recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Other checks are often completed as well. For instance, a prospective employee may have their educational information checked against the records of that school. Similarly, if they have any licenses or certifications, those should also be checked. In some cases, obtaining a certain degree or licenses means that the individual also passed a background check. For instance, someone who studies nursing will usually be required to complete such a check because they will be working with vulnerable people and sensitive information. This does not mean, however, that you don't need to check their background again.
Which Checks Are Completed?
The exact checks that an employer may want to complete vary. However, the criminal history background check is common. For some positions, this check goes more in-depth. This means that employers will also check the sex and violent registry check. Again, in roles whereby the employee works directly with vulnerable individuals, this is expected and usually checked regularly.
What about Foreign Nationals?
If a foreign national is provided with a job in this country, a criminal background and credit history check will not come up with much information. However, it is now possible to complete similar checks in the country of origin of the individual, but only if their original offer for employment was made after October 24, 2001, when the Patriot Act was implemented. If you do wish to hire a foreign national, then you also add an employment condition that means they provide a background check from their own country. You do have to make sure that the check has been verified and certified, however.

Cool weather.
So I'm sitting outside right now waiting for my next class to start. Oh the joys of college life. Hockey is coming and I can't wait.
If you havnt heard yet the Thrashers prospects were killed in the first two games in Traverse City but yesterday laid it to the Canes 7-3.
Evander Kane is amazing. Need I say more.
Sean Grace is looking for a writer and also gives us a magic number.
Well thats all i have for now. Time to get to class.
Here are some treats for being good.
So I have been away for some time. Actually I have been home for the past few days, I just didnt feel like doing anything. Well getting to the point I have brought you some pics. Let this be my welcome to the new comers.
La la la lala
i can smile.
ahhh I is scared.
you know you remember this…
lets switch.
I fart in your general direction.
I see you.
I can fly.
Well that's all I'm leaving with you for now. I don't know when I'll be back.
On to the Draft.
Wow. The Draft. We're 4th if you don't already know.
It looks like we will get Kane. I definitely like this kid. Haha I'm actually older than him. wow.
Here's a quote from Central Scouting's Blair MacDonald~ "He has power forward qualities from the blue line in. He's the type of player who doesn't like being denied access to the net. You can almost see when he's got the puck he's going to the net and defying people to stop him. He'll be a 200-pound forward in the National Hockey League. He plays like he's 6-2, 6-3, bigger than his size. He's surprised a lot of people with his strength going to the net."
On other news, our Tea Party is here today. I will be sick from school today to join in on the festivities. Taking pictures, laughing at crazy people and other such things.

Nothing to speak of really. Starting to rebuild the carbs a little and cleaning misc. parts.
I've got so many different things going on at once, it's been hard to solely focus on the raptor. I'm semi-restoring an old 1986 Jamis BMX bike for a paying customer, so that is the most important at the moment.

I finished smoothing and finishing a few parts of the frame and got the primer sealed.

It really needs one final wet coat to be "complete." IMO
Pro-Circuit T4 Mods: The silencer originally had a huge dent in it, so I hacked it off behind the dent and just made a shorty silencer, a: because I thought it would look cool and different, b: because I doubt that anyone else has one, and c: because who cares! And, yes.....I do realize that it will be loud as shit!! No surprise there.
I have collected some parts recently to begin rebuilding the quad, so that should be under way very soon! Stay tuned!

Looks like this ole' girl was running rich. That's ok, we'll get those carbs tuned right real soon .

The a-arm bushings were a tad tired and under greased, so I picked up some bushing stock and made some new ones, as they are quite expensive to buy.
They turned out pretty good...

Still, better late than never and sauerkraut is winter food anyway so it's the perfect time for you to try it. I always associate this dish with Christmas, especially with Christmas Eve….

I'm saddened to say that I've been too busy to blog. Here's why (from last week's schedule):
Sunday: Cleaned the house then went to the Old Port to meet some friends for lunch at Ri Ra's and walk around with them.
Monday: PVC ride, then a double back to catch the last of the CCCP ride, then drinks out with the group.
Tuesday: Commute to/from work then dinner and the Neko Case concert at Port City Music Hall.
Wednesday: Dinner with friends at the Portland Yacht Club – they are members, not us.
Thursday: Ran errands after work for two hours, because I hadn't had time to do them earlier in the week, followed by making something for a company BBQ the following day.
Friday: Movie (Julie & Julia) with hubby and a friend.
Saturday (yesterday): Early morning ride for 2.5 hours, yard work, then Bay Stock, which was a concert on the Maine State Pier featuring Jason Spooner Trio, Gypsy Tailwind, and Guster.
Sunday (today): a 2 hour ride then scraping and painting outside for 7+ hours.
Yup, it's been crazy busy! This week should be better. Or at least after tomorrow. I'll go for my normal Monday night ride, followed by drinks with the crew, then home to make a dish for hubby for his monthly pot luck at the office.
As you can imagine, not only was there no time to blog, but there was no time to ride. Grrr. After practically the month of July off I was starting to get back at it consistenty and then hit with a heavy week of socializing, which don't get me wrong, is a lot of fun. I just hoped to be able to work in a few more rides.
The rest of the week will be "quiet" but I'm on a mission to get a few projects done prior to company coming at the end of the month, not to mention the normal routine to-dos such as laundry, general cleaning, etc. In between I'll do my best to get something interesting posted. (I would have had a nice Neko Case video to post but it turned out kinda crappy from my phone.) So why don't you check out her interview on Wait, Wait… Don't Tell Me instead? (Special thanks to my friend Scotty for posting this on FB – it's really great!)

I have a Windows Server 2012 server running on my network with two NIC's. The first is connected to a switch which goes out to the internet. The second is connected to a network tap which I have installed on part of my network.
On my server I have Hyper-V whcih has a virtual machine with an IDS OS running on it.
When I use monitor the tap NIC using Wireshark on the Windows Server I can see all of the tapped traffic however when I go into my IDS and add both NIC's I cannot see this traffic. It seems that the tapped traffic is not going through to the virtual machine for it to be monitored.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

At the City Council this morning, I learned from media colleagues that former basketball star and veteran politician Francisco "Paking" Rabat of Mati, Davao Oriental passed away last weekend. He was 74.
The Davao Region lost one of its most colorful leaders. He served as Vice Governor and Governor of the Davao Oriental Province during the martial law period. After the people power revolt that threw away his close friend Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, he became mayor of the capital town. Mati bacame a city last year just in time for Paking to retire from politics to give way to his daughter Michele, the new city mayor.
Paking and his wife, the ex-beauty queen Edith Napkil Rabat, were so close to the Marcoses that the dictator built an airport in Mati during martial law. The airport was one of the vanity projects of the military regime that was never ever used for any commercial operation. It is idle to this day.
Paking rose to prominence during his younger days as a tall and handsome basketball player at the Ateneo de Manila. He became a member of the famous 1954 Philippine basketball team that won the bronze medal at the World Basketball Championship held in Brazil. It was the highest award ever reached by a Filipino basketball squad. He proved to be an outstanding rebounder during the games.
One of the wealthiest men in the Davao Region with vast coconut plantations and other businesses in Davao Oriental, Paking was known to be easy going, friendly and a man of the masses. At his prime, his cars were said to have more room for beer than any guest rider. Mati is about three hours ride from Davao City and he reportedly sips his favorite beer from end to end.
I last met the illustrious governor in Mati last year when his province hosted the Davao Region Business Conference. His son Louie, also a former basketball star at Ateneo, heads the province's Chamber of C ommerce. He was already sickly at the time. In fact, he did not deliver the welcome remarks during the conference due to sore throat. It was Mati Councilor Alan Andrada who welcomed us. I taught Alan how to blog but I lost touch with him thereafter.
Although he was considered as the political king of the province, he did make political enemies in his long political life. After a failed gubernatorial comeback, Paking's province saw a string of three lady governors. Whether friends or foes, I am sure many in the province and the whole of Mindanao would surely miss Paking, the "Rajah of Rebounds" when there was no Shaq or Yao Ming yet.

Patrick Murphy supports GOP in most key votes, strategist writes
Florida Democrats are drawing battle lines against one another now that U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy has declared he's running for Senate in 2016.
Following the second-term congressman's announcement he'll seek Republican Sen. Marco Rubio's job, some liberals are saying Murphy is not the right candidate. They cite the Jupiter Democrat's habit of breaking with his party on House votes.
"As a matter of fact, he's sided with the GOP on key votes twice as often as he sided with Democrats," said Brook Hines, a marketing consultant for progressive campaigns, in a column on politics site TheFloridaSqueeze.com. Hines later says U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, whom she calls "a bold progressive," would be a better candidate.
Murphy was for many years a registered Republican before running for Congress in 2012, and he has a reputation for sometimes breaking with his party. But twice as much on so-called key votes? We decided to check the roll call to find out how Murphy really voted.
Voting progressive
Murphy has lived up to his moderate campaigns. He voted for a measure that would have made the president balance the budget by 2023 and backed a farm bill Democrats balked at because of work requirements for food stamp recipients. He also was one of only 19 Democrats to vote in favor of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline project.
But measuring Murphy's record comes down to how you look at the issues. Hines told us she used the website ProgressivePunch.org as her source, and there are some very specific guidelines to how she came up with her 2-to-1 comparison.
First of all, the site has a group of 37 representatives that founder Joshua Grossman deems "the progressive cohort." These 37 are chosen using a complex formula, but basically we can consider them the most liberal members (people like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and New York's Nydia Velázquez). There's a smaller cohort for the Senate, too.
Grossman's site then compares a representative's voting record to how this cohort voted to come up with what it calls "crucial votes," which has a complicated definition: Any vote in which at least three-quarters of the 37 representatives voted against Republicans, while at least 10 percent of Democrats split from their party. That means votes where most liberals voted together and many moderates sided with the GOP.
Using this data, the site comes up with a "progressive score" that shows the ratio of how an official compares with the most progressive members of Congress. In Murphy's case, Hines took the progressive score for the 2015-16 Congress -- 31.25 percent (meaning that according to the site, he voted against progressive Democrats almost 69 percent of the time in the first three months of this year) -- to make her comparison.
There are some problems with this comparison. The sample is small, because the 2015-16 score is comprised of only 17 votes so far, unlike the site's lifetime score, which goes back to when Murphy took office. (His 45.71 percent lifetime score is a bit higher than just 2015-16.) And because the site's record-keeping isn't fully up-to-date, there's no way to look up exactly which votes are part of the site's calculation.
Other examples
There are other ways to look at Murphy's voting record that show he doesn't vote with Republicans twice as often. Both the Washington Post and the New York Times have tools that track major votes. In the Post's sample, Murphy voted against his party in three out of eight key examples. The Times says he's voted with Republicans two out of six times in major votes this year.
GovTrack.us graphs Murphy as a centrist, but not nearly as far to the right as other Democrats. Ballotpedia.org concluded that Murphy outright voted with Republicans on three out of 13 issues.
Perhaps most comprehensive is CQ's "party unity" score, which measures how often Murphy voted with his party when a majority of Democrats voted the same way. His score for votes in 2014 is an 80, meaning he sided with Republicans about 20 percent of the time.
That puts him about 12th from the bottom in terms of voting with his party, and the lowest among Florida's delegation. For reference, the party average is about 90 percent; Minnesota Democrat Collin Peterson is dead last with a unity score of 48.
Our ruling
Hines said Murphy has "sided with the GOP on key votes twice as often as he sided with Democrats."
That's true by looking at one small subset of data gleaned through one progressive website that compared Murphy with a small group of liberals. Murphy does break ranks relatively often in a partisan Congress, but other outlets show Murphy sides with his own party, the Democrats, more often than not in notable votes.
We rate the statement Mostly False.

I found a friend recommending this technique and i thought it would be interesting so I implemented it on a person i know suffering from chronic pain through sciatica.
The number 21 is believed to be the time it takes to form a new habit. And the habit we would want to form in this specific case is to learn ourselves to distract us from pain, not by completely ignore it, but by accepting that it's there and doing stuff not related to feeling pain.
You can read more about this mindset in both my free Ebook "The Intellectual Posture" and in my in-depth guide here that describes the way we form and shift our identities.
This theory is coined and explained by Maxwell Maltz, a plastic surgeon and an author of the GREAT book "The Psycho Cybernetics". Highly recommended.
He discovered that the patient that performed an operation needed approximately 21 days to get used to their new faces.
The same theory is with patients that get a leg amputated – it's claimed that the phantom limb pains disappear after approximately 21 days. He said that "it takes approximately 21 days for a mental image to dissolve and be replaced by a new one". This expression quickly changed by word of mouth to the not as correct wording "It only takes 21 days for a habit to stick".
But does this saying really work? First, I will go over the steps and then be doing an evaluation of some things we believe we learned from implementing this into my friends daily life for 21 days.
But to give you an initial boost, the greatest thing we learned was that
- "It's not as hard to start if you have a set deadline, but easier to continue once you've started!"
Day1: Get a notebook/planner and write all of these steps down
Writing all of the steps for each consecutive day down is something that I would like to call a "micro-commitment". Especially if you write it in a planner in which you look at every day.
You could also add them to your smartphone calendar, but I advise you not to get a notification about this since it should not feel like a chore or something you" have to do".
This is also a great way to prepare you for what the different tasks are – so that nothing will come by surprise.
Day2: Write down designated "me" times.
This is another "treat" added into the list. Without overdoing it, add some events or activities that you really like and place them throughout the 21 days. This will not only work as a reward system but also adds a positive mindset to the 21-day challenge from the start.
Day 3: Make a meal plan
Make a not-so-advanced meal plan. It can be as much as preparing food for the next couple of days! It's all about getting started with these things.
Day 4: Take an Epsom Salt Bath
Epsom salts have great benefits for both your body and your mind, thanks to the mineral magnesium sulfate. Some of these are releasing toxins from the body, soothing aches and pains, reducing stiffness in muscles and joints, sedating the nervous system and even softening the skin if you use the salts as an exfoliator by rubbing it over your skin.
Just add two handfuls of Epsom salts to the hot water and let it soak for approximately 30 minutes. You can also opt to add a few drops of essential oils as well!
Day 5: Catch up on your favorite TV show
Just a day to binge some of your favorite TV show! As an alternative to this, just structure the times and days you want to watch an episode – maybe once every time before bed?
Day 6: Clean Your Email Inbox (trust me)
Just do this! Add folders, put everything neatly in them and unsubscribe to all of your thousands of email-subscriptions that you only delete anyway.
Day 7: Do The Laundry
Of course, doing the laundry is inevitable. But by putting a specific day to do this, it will not be on your mind for these 21 days!
If this is something already done, do something similar – like cleaning the carpets or your curtains.
Day 8: Make an Up-beat playlist
Make an up-beat playlist and choose a song to listen to every morning! Can I suggest "Don't Stop me now" by Queen?
Day 9: Write 10 Good things about both People you love and people you dislike
Pick 3 people you love and 3 people you don't like, place each of them in a column and write 10 GOOD things for all of them, and really be honest and admit to yourself that you can see past someone's flaws and what you don't like about them.
Day 10: Donate Clothes that don't fit you
This is an amazing way to both help yourself and someone in need! These clothes will only lay around anyway, and it's a great way to clear space in your closet.
Day 11: Play a game you enjoy
We all have that guilty-pleasure game we love. Just play it, no strings attached!
Day 12: Organize your desk and clean out junk
Organize it, try out all the pens and sort them after which one works and which one doesn't. Clean your computer keyboard and your computer screen!
Day 13: Make a budget to stick to
This one is a bit harder, but it doesn't necessarily go down to every detail. It can be as simple as not picking the more expensive wine over the cheaper one etc. Write down 5 things you think you are spending too much money on and figure out how you can spend less money on these things while still doing them.
Day 14: Call an old friend/relative
They will be as happy as you, and your relationship might become a close friendship again.
Day 15: Buy something that will make you feel good
Well, a bit contradictory to day 13, but sometimes you just gotta do it! But as mentioned in #4 in my guide to shift your identity – feel blissful now! You should never wait to enjoy yourself, or your achievement. A lot of people live with the misconception of "If I enjoy myself now, I will lose my drive". I myself ordered a cool looking longboard today! Super hyped about it!
Day 16: Buy a coloring book to help you relax
Well isn't this one silly? No, it's not, it's a great distraction device and it's so satisfying.
Day 17: Take a social media break
Woah, prepare for this one! No social media for 24 hours.
Day 18: Pick a room and clean it from top to bottom
If this is a task that is hard for you to go through with, do the best you can! Or change it to organizing your computer folders!
Day 19: Make a huge list of people you love
Even people you might not even think you love. Look through your contact list in your phone, you'd be surprised.
Day 20: Take another Epsom Salt bath
Why? Well, because you can! And from the first time you did it, you will most certainly look forward to this day!
Day 21: Evaluate!
Write down everything you learned about yourself, your habits, and your mindset these 21 days. Write it on a nice piece of paper and store it somewhere, or maybe display it where you can be reminded of it!
Summary and Evaluation!
Well, I hope you are psyched about going into this, here is what we learned
What we learned:
- That making 21 days purposeful gives way to further implement and learning that what you can stick to in 21 days can make a drastic difference in your life and your future.
- That the "21 rule" isn't completely accurate and that something magical just doesn't happen on day 22. (According to European Journal of Social Psychology who analyzed 96 peoples habits during 12 weeks, they came up with the number 66, but a thing as arbitrary as a habit is hard to put an exact number on in my opinion)
- That it is really fun to purposefully shift your mindset towards a set amount of tasks. And that it's a great way to see improvement.
- That you probably shouldn't have your hopes too high and that the 21-day rule is just arbitrary to have something tangible to hold on to.
- That you can increase this list with your own stuff you want to add and make another challenge for yourself!
- It's not as hard to start if you have a set deadline, but easier to continue once you've started!

Northeast Florida Matmen
TITUSVILLE — While most attention at Eastern Florida State College was centered on the juggernaut that is Lake Highland Prep at the 1A-Region 2 tournament this past weekend, Palatka was focused on just getting someone to states.
And they got two someones to Friday's 1A state tournament at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, as juniors Bryan Smith (195) and Ira Dixon (220) will represent the Panthers at #TheShow this weekend.
Their qualifier efforts, plus five preliminary wins, were enough for the Panthers to score 45 points in the tournament and finish 14th out of 28 teams.
Smith, ranked ninth statewide, was 3-1 in the 195 bracket this weekend, losing only to eventual champion Zaqueri Viers of Space Coast. He had a first-round bye and then decisioned 40-match winner Joseph Gurley of Weeki Wachee, 3-2, in the quarterfinals. He went into the third period with Viers, ranked 5th, before losing by fall in 5:04. That sent him into the consi semis, where he ground out a 1-0 decision over Atlantic's Austen Herres to punch his ticket for Kissimmee. In the third-place match, Smith pushed the pace in an 8-3 decision over Hernando sophomore Fernando Valdez.
Dixon was 3-2 on the weekend. He also made the semifinals, like Smith, but had to wrestle two matches to qualify, pinning Cocoa's Hunter Gfell in 2:39 in the first round and then falling Damien Hay of Hudson in 5:21 to get to Saturday. There, he faced second-ranked Matt Whitehouse of Atlantic, losing by fall in 1:55 and falling into the consi semis. In that round, Dixon pinned Rockledge's Noah Goldman in 4:17 to qualify for Kissimmee. That set a third-place match against 13th-ranked Nature Coast sophomore Michael Weston, which Dixon lost by a 3-1 decision.
Five Panther wrestlers — Drevon Wallace (106), Trevor Davis (113), Dale Green (145), Jamar Danzler (160) and Jason Gullett (170) were 1-2 on the day on Friday, while Jerich Givens (138) was 0-2. All were eliminated in the first day.
Interlachen's Cade Mason (138) was 1-2 on the weekend, giving the Putnam County Rams three points and a tie for 25th place in the tournament. Eastside sent six wrestlers to regions, but it was an eye-opening experience for the Alachua County Rams, as all six were 0-2 and Eastside finished 28th, failing to score.

Report from the BBC NEWS, has it that the Royal Family has published social media guidelines for the public, promising to block users who leave offensive or abusive comments on official channels.
The new rules says posts on the Clarence House, Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace feeds may be hidden, deleted or reported to police. Neither of the Duchesses should have personal social media accounts. Meghan however closed down hers last year, before marrying Prince Harry.
In December 2017, shortly after her engagement, she had 1.9 million people, following her posts on Instagram, and more than 350,000 (three hundred and fifty thousand) Twitter followers. Her Facebook page had almost 800,000 (eight hundred thousand) likes.

In the 2011 Zoya Akhtar coming-of-age comedy-drama road film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara ("You Only Live Once"), important moments in the story are punctuated with poetry.
The poems were written by Javed Akhtar, who also wrote the lyrics to the songs. The poems are shared at key moments in the film by the character Imraan Qureshi (Farhan Akhtar) who maintains a journal with poems, drawings, and souvenirs. According to an article in The Hindi, director Zoya Akhtar used poetry to add depth to the film:
"Farhan and I write English poetry and we've been privy to dad's poetry as children. Most verses come as voiceovers, lending depth to Imraan (Farhan)'s jovial facade, and blends with his character of a closet poet. The poetry lent voice to what the men felt, since men don't talk much or express their feelings. I wanted to capture that sense of silence and reflection."
The poems captured the imagination of audiences. Translations of the poems can be found on a number of websites. Nuances of the translations vary from site to site. The following english translations were presented on the Eros DVD.
"Apne Hone Par Mujhko Yaqeen Aa Gaya"
The moment flows by like molten sapphire
Deep blue silences
No earth below, no sky above
The rustling branches and leaves are saying only you are here
Only me
My breath and my heartbeat
such depth, such solitude
And me
Only me
I now believe I exist
"Ye Jaane Kaisa Raaz Hai"
A thought came alive, but away it hid
It stole a glance from under the eyelids
Sometimes from you, sometimes from me,
it asked for words to set it free
Words to wear, so from the lips it can flee
A voice it can embrace and sway with glee
But this thought is a feeling ... just a feeling
Like a fragrance floating in the breeze
A fragrance that is unspeaking
You live with it
I'm aware of it
Out in the open for the world to see
What is this unknown mystery?
"Dil Aakhir Tu Kyun Rota Hai"
When the clouds of pain loom in the sky
When a shadow of sadness flickers by
When a tear finds it's way to the eye
When fear keeps the loneliness alive
I try and console my heart
"Why is it that you cry?" I ask.
This is only what life imparts
These deep silences within have been handed out to all by time.
Everyone's story has a little sorrow
Everyone's share has a little sunshine
No need for water in your eyes
Every moment can be a new life
Why do you let them pass you by
Oh heart, why is it that you cry?
"Toh Zinda Ho Tum"
If you're carrying your restlessness in your heart
You are alive
If you're carrying the lightning of dreams in your eyes
You are alive
Like a gust of wind, learn to live free
Learn to flow like the waves that make a sea
Let your arms be wide open to every moment you meet
May every moment gift you a new sight to greet
If you're carrying your wonder in your eyes
You are alive
If you're carrying your restlessnes in your heart
You are alive
The following playlist features each of these poems in the order that they appeared in the film. Posted two years after the release of the film, these artistically-crafted videos feature scenes from the film.

You cannot spot reduce! Weight loss results from an energy deficit; burning more calories than you take in. Aerobic exercise will help create this energy deficit. Genetics and gender play a role in where we store excess fat and where it comes off first. Abdominal exercises will tighten and tone the abdominals but will not directly affect the layer of abdominal adipose.

At your first meeting, you will meet with a medical professional for preliminary testing. Certain states require that patients meet directly with a physician for the initial consult. In those locations, you will meet with a board-certified MD (medical doctor) or DO (doctor of osteopathic medicine). Some, but not all of the doctors, have additional training or credentials in obesity medicine.
Some patients have a need for other consultations (for example, with a consultant psychiatrist/ full course of psychological therapy, or a sleep apnoea consultant), or may require blood tests, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, or overnight sleep oximetry; these would all be separately charged. If a patient requires more frequent support or help – including additional consultations or weekly support, these will be charged in separately.
Global weight management: He along with his global team are currently in the process of launching a revolutionary weight management programme. This is a personalised online medical weight loss programme which not only helps lose weight but also addresses weight related problems. This programme would be extremely helpful to any organisation/ hospital who are involved with patients/staff with a weight problem. This plan is designed by an expert medical team and could be adapted for different cultures across the world and provides an extremely cost effective solution.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
One of聽Publishers Weekly鈥檚聽鈥淢ost Anticipated Books of the Fall鈥?lt;/b>

As you read these words, copies of you are being created.
 聽
 Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world鈥檚 most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time.聽 His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein鈥檚 theory of relativity changes, well, everything.

 Most physicists haven鈥檛 even recognized the uncomfortable truth: physics has been in crisis since 1927. Quantum mechanics 聽has always had obvious gaps鈥攚hich have come to be simply ignored. Science popularizers keep telling us how weird it is, 聽how impossible it is to understand. Academics discourage students from working on the "dead end" of quantum foundations. Putting his professional reputation on the line with this audacious yet entirely reasonable book, Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. There are many, many Sean Carrolls. Many of every one of us.
 聽
 Copies of you are generated thousands of times per second. The Many Worlds Theory of quantum behavior says that every time there is a quantum event, a world splits off with everything in it the same, except in that other world the quantum event didn't happen. Step-by-step in Carroll's uniquely lucid way, he tackles the major objections to this otherworldly revelation until his case is inescapably established.
 聽
 Rarely does a book so fully reorganize how we think about our place in the universe. We are on the threshold of a new understanding鈥攐f where we are in the cosmos, and what we are made of.

 The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the bestsellers聽What If?聽and聽Thing Explainer

For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.

Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.

By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and fun illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Journalist Adam Higginbotham鈥檚 definitive, years-in-the-making account of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster鈥攁nd a powerful investigation into how propaganda, secrecy, and myth have obscured the true story of one of the twentieth century鈥檚 greatest disasters.

Early in the morning of April 26, 1986, Reactor Number Four of the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station exploded, triggering history鈥檚 worst nuclear disaster. In the thirty years since then, Chernobyl has become lodged in the collective nightmares of the world: shorthand for the spectral horrors of radiation poisoning, for a dangerous technology slipping its leash, for ecological fragility, and for what can happen when a dishonest and careless state endangers its citizens and the entire world. But the real story of the accident, clouded from the beginning by secrecy, propaganda, and misinformation, has long remained in dispute.

Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted over the course of more than ten years, as well as letters, unpublished memoirs, and documents from recently-declassified archives, Adam Higginbotham has written a harrowing and compelling narrative which brings the disaster to life through the eyes of the men and women who witnessed it firsthand. The result is a masterful nonfiction thriller, and the definitive account of an event that changed history: a story that is more complex, more human, and more terrifying than the Soviet myth.

Midnight in Chernobyl is an indelible portrait of one of the great disasters of the twentieth century, of human resilience and ingenuity, and the lessons learned when mankind seeks to bend the natural world to his will鈥攍essons which, in the face of climate change and other threats, remain not just vital but necessary.

Product Description
Customer Reviews

A comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society throughout history, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel鈥揹riven civilization.

"I wait for new Smil books the way some people wait for the next 'Star Wars' movie. In his latest book, Energy and Civilization: A History, he goes deep and broad to explain how innovations in humans' ability to turn energy into heat, light, and motion have been a driving force behind our cultural and economic progress over the past 10,000 years.
鈥擝ill Gates, Gates Notes, Best Books of the Year

Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows鈥攔anging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity鈥攆or their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel鈥揹riven civilization.

Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts鈥攆rom the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering readers a magisterial overview. This book is an extensively updated and expanded version of Smil's Energy in World History (1994). Smil has incorporated an enormous amount of new material, reflecting the dramatic developments in energy studies over the last two decades and his own research over that time.

Product Description
Customer Reviews
The third book in Theodore Gray's bestselling Elements Trilogy, Reactions continues the journey through the world of chemistry that began with his two previous bestselling books The Elements and Molecules.
With The Elements, Gray gave us a never-before-seen, mesmerizing photographic view of the 118 elements in the periodic table. In Molecules, he showed us how the elements combine to form the content that makes up our universe. With Reactions Gray once again puts his one-of-a-kind photography and storytelling ability to work demonstrating how molecules interact in ways that are essential to our very existence. The book begins with a brief recap of elements and molecules and then goes on to explain important concepts the characterize a chemical reaction, including Energy, Entropy, and Time. It is then organized by type of reaction including chapters such as "Fantastic Reactions and Where to Find Them," "On the Origin of Light and Color," "The Boring Chapter," in which we learn about reactions such as paint drying, grass growing, and water boiling, and "The Need for Speed," including topics such as weather, ignition, and fire.

Einstein's Dice and Schr枚dinger's Cat: How Two Great Minds Battl...

"A fascinating and thought-provoking story, one that sheds light on the origins of... the current challenging situation in physics."--Wall Street Journal
When the fuzzy indeterminacy of quantum mechanics overthrew the orderly world of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Erwin Schr枚dinger were at the forefront of the revolution. Neither man was ever satisfied with the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, however, and both rebelled against what they considered the most preposterous aspect of quantum mechanics: its randomness. Einstein famously quipped that God does not play dice with the universe, and Schr枚dinger constructed his famous fable of a cat that was neither alive nor dead not to explain quantum mechanics but to highlight the apparent absurdity of a theory gone wrong. But these two giants did more than just criticize: they fought back, seeking a Theory of Everything that would make the universe seem sensible again.

In Einstein's Dice and Schr枚dinger's Cat, physicist Paul Halpern tells the little-known story of how Einstein and Schr枚dinger searched, first as collaborators and then as competitors, for a theory that transcended quantum weirdness. This story of their quest-which ultimately failed-provides readers with new insights into the history of physics and the lives and work of two scientists whose obsessions drove its progress.

Today, much of modern physics remains focused on the search for a Theory of Everything. As Halpern explains, the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson makes the Standard Model-the closest thing we have to a unified theory- nearly complete. And while Einstein and Schr枚dinger failed in their attempt to explain everything in the cosmos through pure geometry, the development of string theory has, in its own quantum way, brought this idea back into vogue. As in so many things, even when they were wrong, Einstein and Schr枚dinger couldn't help but get a great deal right.

Thinking in Systems: A Primer
Donella H. Meadows

December 03, 2008
Product Description
Customer Reviews

In the years following her role as the lead author of the international bestseller, Limits to Growth鈥攖he first book to show the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet鈥?Donella Meadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysis until her untimely death in 2001.

Thinking in Systems, is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute鈥檚 Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life.

Some of the biggest problems facing the world鈥攚ar, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation鈥攁re essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.

While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner.

In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions.

Trump Takes A Shot At NFL While Honoring NASCAR Because "They Stand For The Anthem" (VIDEO)
Just when you thought this beef was dying…
On Monday, President Donald Trump called NASCAR a sport for "patriotic Americans," because they stand for the National Anthem, a clear shot at the NFL and their players, who have been a PR nightmare thanks to their protests during the Anthem.
'They Stand for the Anthem': Trump Dings NFL While Honoring NASCAR Champion Truex Jr https://t.co/2tmiu8XG8x pic.twitter.com/EKR1Vk01mZ
— Fox News (@FoxNews) May 22, 2018
"This lively sport reflects our national spirit and our can-do attitude. At every NASCAR race, you will see thousands of patriotic Americans, from the grandstands to the pit stalls, proudly waving our flag and roaring with joy at the words, 'Start your engines,'" he said at a White House event honoring NASCAR Cup Series champion Martin Truex, Jr.
"And I will tell you –one thing I know about NASCAR, they do indeed, Brian, stand for the playing of the national anthem, right," Trump continued, naming NASCAR CEO Brian France. "They do indeed. Somebody said maybe you shouldn't say that, that'll be controversial. I said, that's OK, NASCAR's not going to mind it at all. Right fellas? They don't mind it at all."
The comments come after a back and forth between the President and the league, with Trump calling players who kneeled for the Anthem "sons of bitches" who should be taken off the field and fired for disrespecting the country.
At the height of the Anthem controversy, NASCAR team owners made it quite clear to their drivers that they wouldn't tolerate any type of disrespect during the National Anthem, a move that was praised by Donald Trump.

Howto: mounting remote folder using ssh with fstab
Mostly I suggest nfs for network share and it is easy to share over network, also for windows I use samba services, Here I found the suitable solution for remote share mount with out setup any server file share services. We can directly mount folders using SSH , so fuse is working behind this.
For this kind of setup you need to install few packages listed below
fuse-2.7.4-8.el5.i386.rpm fuse-libs-2.7.4-8.el5.i386.rpm fuse-sshfs-2.4-1.el5.i386.rpm
Direct download package repositories,
Installation steps :
cd /home/downloads wget ftp://126.96.36.199/linux/centos/5.10/os/i386/CentOS/fuse-libs-2.7.4-8.el5.i386.rpm wget ftp://126.96.36.199/linux/epel/5/i386/fuse-sshfs-2.4-1.el5.i386.rpm wget ftp://184.108.40.206/linux/centos/5.10/os/i386/CentOS/fuse-2.7.4-8.el5.i386.rpm rpm -ivh fuse*.rpm
Password-less authentication
ssh-copyid -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub email@example.com
Mounting fstab entries like this
vi /etc/fstab firstname.lastname@example.com:/backup/ISO-files /mnt/ISO fuse delay_connect,idmap=user,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0,allow_other,_netdev,workaround=rename 0 0
Save the fstab an make it auto moutn
mount -a
Now execute "mount" command, so you can see the entries like this.
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) firstname.lastname@example.com:/backup/ISO-files on /mnt/ISO type fuse.sshfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other)
Enjoy the share.

Education and Nation-Building in (Post)Soviet Crimea: Constructing Crimean Tatar Identity through Early Literacy Textbooks
Document Type
Master of Arts
Comparative and International Education
First Adviser
Silova, Iveta
Other advisers/committee members
Kong, Peggy; Nicholas, Mary
The annexation of the Crimea, a former Autonomous Republic of Ukraine, by the Russian Federation that took place in March 2014 has had profound implications for every sphere of life in the region. The heated debate around the legitimacy of the annexation has caused multiple discussions on the local and international levels about the nation-building policies used throughout history by the Soviet and Ukrainian states that had control of the peninsula. Assumptions have also been made concerning the possible identity construction policies used by the Russian government towards their new citizens. Since primary education serves as an effective channel for instilling into populations the feelings of patriotism and loyalty to the state and its institutions, early literacy textbooks serve as a reflection of the dominant ideology of the state. This study is an attempt to examine the nature of education policies aimed at national identity (re)building processes in Crimea during the Soviet, Ukrainian, and the most recent Russian periods. Specifically, it aims to examine the role of primary education textbooks in promoting assimilation policies. Using critical discourse analysis of nine primers from the Soviet, Ukrainian, and Russian periods of Crimean governance, I analyze texts and illustrations in line with the following questions: How is Tatar national identity constructed in early literacy textbooks? What values are prioritized by the state? And how is Tatar childhood portrayed and imagined in textbooks? The findings of the research reveal that early literacy textbooks serve as a major tool of political socialization of children and reflect respective state ideologies dominant during each historical period.

Linda Nochlin
The work of Linda Nochlin has been an embarrassment of riches for me. As a feminist artist, her pioneering feminist art historical research and writing has been instrumental to the development of my work. When I was a young artist fresh out of grad school in the late 1980s I met Linda at a College Art Association Annual Conference where she was giving a keynote speech. I carried a dog-eared copy of Women, Art, and Power & Other Essays with me, and I introduced myself to her and asked if she would sign it. She said sure, if I would help her get her lecture pages in the right order! Besides that signed copy, on my table in my studio I always have a copy of Nochlin's "The Body in Pieces: The Fragment as a Metaphor of Modernity," her 1994 Walter Neurath Memorial Lecture at the National Gallery in London.
Nochlin's work has been enormously inspiring to my artistic and conceptual development. The vestiges, ghosts, and evidence are lurking in every single project, manifesting many of her ideas into my concrete forms, from the early Erotic Watercolors (1993 – 95) (up-close-cropped headless female bodies—think Courbet's Origin of the World), Pony Tales (1997) (portraits of horses—Géricault), Tack Room (1998) (equestrian architectural environment), The Domain of Perfect Affection (1999) (fetish objects), and Luxury Real Estate paintings (2001) (aerial views of rising bourgeoisie lifestyle); to Memorial To A Marriage (2002) (mortuary statue for a female couple—Courbet's Sleep) and Harriet Hosmer: Lost and Found, A Catalogue Raisonné (2007 – 09) (an important female artist missing in history); to Dante: The Way of All Flesh (2012) (agonizing bodies in pain—Géricault); to my current project, Shrine For Girls, Venice (2015), a solo Collateral Event in the 56th Venice Biennale and Rail Curatorial Project (missing/murdered girls—Courbet's Burial at Ornans).
My postmodern-aesthetic strategy has been to inject all these traditional images and forms (many from the 19th century, where realism and symbolism collapse) with my specific contemporary political content. Without Nochlin's revolutionary feminist reading revealing to us the political truths in, or missing from, our most celebrated works in art history, I never would have been able to take some of those same images and forms and subvert them further in my work. I literally took my cues from her essays and books.
I've taken from Nochlin's histories and teased out of them a contemporary reiteration, reimagining. Her work on Géricault is still rolling around in my head; the disembodied/mutilated stacked body parts, decapitation, his focus on men and horses, and his noticeable absence of women. Bodies, horses, and missing women. Nochlin's insightful reflections on the artist's irrevocable loss, nostalgia, and grief for a loss of a utopian wholeness through cropped bodies and pictorial planes really resonated with me.
The body for me, to agree with Nochlin, is "not just a site of desire, but if you have a longer view of art history, is also a site for suffering and death"—with all the metaphorical and conceptual implications, permutations, and artistic opportunities for reflection and subversion. Her life's work is an intellectual and feminist inheritance, a debt that can never be repaid.

Linda Nochlin, certainly the most influential writer ever on feminist art, was also a poet. Maura Reilly's edition of The Linda Nochlin Reader in 2015 includes the celebrated essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists" seen freshly, thirty years after, and in fact all Nochlin's essays help the reader to see freshly—not just feminist art but details and fragments, bathers and politics, Courbet and realism, and more.

Like so many others, I am deeply indebted to Linda Nochlin's scholarship and feminist vision.
Maurice Berger
NOV 2017 | Art
Linda Nochlin was a pioneering art historian, liberating the discipline from the constraints of formalism and a view of art that was as chauvinistic as it was limited. But knowing Linda was even more impressive. She was my teacher, mentor (along with Rosalind Krauss), dissertation advisor, and friend.
Martha Rosler
NOV 2017 | Art
I knew Linda Nochlin for many years from "around"—around the feminist art community, I suppose is what I mean, and also from her days at the Institute.
